so so Hello, meek ones, Christ people, and whoever will listen. We again covet your prayers for these ministries. And thank you for those prayers that you already prayed. And thank you for, thank the Lord for giving you whatever's necessary to hear through these ministries for your edification. All this week I've been thinking about some things concerning life in general for the Christian. As much as I understand, I'll share with you and not tell you something that you don't already know, but it should just be a confirmation to your faith. And you pray that the Holy Spirit will be your teacher, by the way. I know you know that already. And the things I'm about to say, You probably know already, but just a few weeks ago I brought, the Lord gave me one about, Peter reminded them of things he already knew. So we can get so involved in daily life and everything, we don't always remember, we can't remember all 66 books and the promises, the Holy Spirit has to help us. And that's why you have the preaching of the gospel, and with using the scriptures, and the Apostles to bring to our memory. And thank God for every single one of them that ever lived and are now in eternity. And thank the Lord for Brother Gene and for Brother Mike and for all good ministers in this day and time. Our sinners saved by grace, having struggles just like you do, and being comforted in those struggles and bring that to you for your comfort. Christ is an example for us, although we're not Jesus, we're not Christ. And he was perfect in every point. But I'm going to read you this out of Matthew 3. I'll start with verse 13. Then came Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John to be baptized of him. But John forbidded him, verse 14, saying, I need to be baptized of thee, and thou comest to me. Jesus answered and said unto him, Suffer to be so now, for thus it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness. Then John suffered him to do so. Now John did that. And 16 says, And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straight out of the water. And, lo, the heavens were opened to him. And he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon him. That's what the scripture says there. I believe John saw that, was aware, lighting upon him. And lo, a voice from heaven sang, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Hear ye him, doesn't say that, but you hear ye him. What happened after that? Then was Jesus led up, led, guided by the Holy Spirit. The King James says a little bit different, but I looked at the Amplified. wrote down those words and they amplified. Let me read this again. Then Jesus, when Jesus, then was Jesus led up, led and guided by the Holy Spirit and to the, to be tested, tried, and he's going to be tried by the devil. This was the determinant counsel, and that's out of Acts, and for knowledge of God, and listen, we also shall have our faith tested and tried. In James 1.3, it says, knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience, but let patience have a perfect work, that you may be perfect, entire, wanting nothing. Now, brother, we live in this crooked and perverse world, and we're supposed to shine as lights. Can we do that? No. But we can do all things through Christ. For Christ has made you salt and light. And as you go through this world, there's all kinds of things happening out here in the world today, right? Politics, everyday life, families, you name it. And there's trouble on every side. You're pressed out of measure above strength sometimes. Everything seems to be coming at you left and right with the sicknesses. You may own a business. And you live in a different society nowadays than they did centuries ago and ages ago. We live in this present age. And it seems like people want to get paid for doing a job. Not all now, but there are some who just go to work to get paid. And they really have no respect to their boss, to the customers, nobody else. It's all about me and what I can make. What can you do for me, boss? Well, when you go to work for somebody, as a Christian, I say as a Christian, what is your attitude? First of all, you do it heartily unto the Lord and not unto men. I may read that directly also. And you do it in respect to God. Therefore you have respect to authority that you're under. Now they may not be Christian. Or they may be. But you do it heartily unto the Lord and not just unto men. And running that business You may have aggravations and frustrations. And then on top of that, in your daily domestic order, here comes trouble, left and right, pressing you down, distressing you. But what do I need to do in that situation? If I'm a Christian, If I truly am a Christian, I don't have to be in despair. Paul was pressed out of measure by strength, it says, so much he despaired of life. But he said, I had the sting of death in myself that I should not trust in myself. And he'd ask God to take those things from him. And as we read, God says, my grace is sufficient. So God overcame his pressed out of measure and all of that, his weakness. and gave him hope in it. Now the things that are coming at you, if these things are coming at you, whoever you are, me, whoever, all those troubles, and you got a red sea right in front of you, and it looks impossible, you can't get to the other side, and all this stuff is after you, all these pressures are after you, all that are on top of you. What do I do? What do I do? Well, we'll find out something it says in Genesis, and God said, let there be light, and there was light. And listen, and the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And listen, Red Sea, trouble, And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." The waters can represent nation and people, I think, if I remember right. And what did he say? God said, let there be light, and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. So in the midst of your trials, and struggles, and darknesses, sicknesses, men treating you badly, There's a light that's gonna shine. My son, if thou receive my, now we're gonna go to Proverbs 2. He's talking here, it's a single S-O-N, one. He's talking about foreshadowing of Christ's here to me, of Jesus. That's what I'm seeing in that. That's Proverbs 2, one. And he says, my son, if thou receive my words, my adopted son, if you'll receive my words, okay? And hide my commandments with you, my adopted sons and daughters, so that they incline their ear unto wisdom, and apply their heart to understanding. Yea, if thy cries for knowledge, and lift up thy voice for understanding. And if you'll read the Psalms, and all through those Psalms, there's some hard trials came on David, and David, and that was a picture of Christ in those situations. And what did David do? cried after knowledge, lifted it from his voice for understanding, and he had to search for it as silver. He couldn't find it, and you're not going to find that peace and hope in this life. In the world, you're going to have tribulation. Only in God are we going to have peace. And search for it as hid treasure. You try to look here, you try to find peace here, you try to find peace there, and God says, uh-uh, I'm not going to let you have it there. Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. So shall he give. For the Lord giveth wisdom. In that situation, he placed you there, and is provident you with the bounds of your habitation, it says, as we read a lot of times in the book of Acts 17. For the Lord giveth wisdom, and out of his character and person cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous. He is a buckler to them that walketh upright, those that are justified, those that are bought with a price. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints." All things gonna work together for you. Good tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, naked peril, the sword. As is written, we're killed all the day long. We're counted more than conquerors. We're counted sheep for the slaughter. But nay, in all these things, we are more than a conqueror. Then shall I understand righteousness, judgment, equity, and every good path. All things gonna work together for your good. That makes it a good path. And you come in that situation, if you could only hear it, you can hear it. God said, I'm working this together for your good. And you may say, well, Lord, it sure don't feel good. Pour out your heart before God, be honest with him. You can tell him about your pains and sorrows. There's no condemnation here in Christ. You be honest with God. He knows your heart, and He knows our minds. Sometimes things aggravate me, and I say, Lord, that thing is just so aggravating. I just talk to Him, not being disrespectful now, because He is my life. He is my hope. He is my help. And Jesus asked himself, right before he, when he was heading to the cross, he said, if it'd be possible, let this cup. And he was in great heaviness and weak because he had to bear the sins of his people. And one of the things that got me was for a short period of time, he was separated from the father. Now I don't understand all that, but it did happen. He was perfect man. He was perfect God. He was the God man, but he was also a perfect man. He could get hungry. he could be weak, and he was going to something that none of us could have handled. None of us. Listen, Peter says, in the strength of his flesh, been walking with Jesus for quite a while, him with the other disciples, He said, Jesus, I'll never leave you. I'll never forsake you. And Jesus told him what was going to happen. He said, you're going to deny me three times. But I pray for you that your faith not fail not. Listen to me, brother. You can take a religious attitude, and you should love the Lord, right? And you can say, I'll follow you anywhere, Lord Jesus. Give it to me. I'm more than I conquer. That's true. But you better find out why you're more than I conquer. So the time come around as you know the historical facts that Peter was there when Jesus was being beaten and all that stuff. All those terrible things that happened to him. Think about all those terrible things that happened to him. Oh I can't take this. All those terrible things that happened to him. I'm not saying that's what he said. I'm saying We, in our flesh, in our weakness. Oh, I can't bear this. Can this cut pass from me? You're going to have to say the same thing. I'm going to have to say the same thing Jesus said there. Lord, if it's possible. He said, then I'll understand righteous judgment in every good path. So Peter was there. And then they started saying, You're one of them, aren't you, Peter? No, I'm not one of them. I don't know. I don't know this man. I don't know who he is. Oh, I'm in this situation. Oh, what do I do? What do I do? Oh, you're saying you don't know Jesus. You're saying you're denying him. And then the crow and the rooster crows. And what did Peter do? He went out and wept bitterly. And our weaknesses and our infirmities in one sense, we love Christ in our spirit. But we still got that old nature. I hope I'm making sense, brother. That when you're in these situations, your flesh ain't gonna like it. And you know that, you know that already. I don't have to tell you that. You have experienced this. But you know what? The clouds don't stay around forever. Remember that thing of clouds? And the rain. And then you remember the Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew, in Isaiah 53. He was wounded for my transgressions. He was despised. He was rejected. A man of sorrow and a queen of grief. but it pleased the Lord to bruise him. So in dealing with sin and corruption, maybe we could remember that and hear the rooster crow and say, Lord, I've sinned against thee and in thy sight. And you're brokenhearted for him that hath paid so much, perfect God, perfect man, and had humanity, and he went to the cross, separated from the Father. You will never know that separation unless you're not a Christian. When wisdom in our heart and all just blessings in our soul, discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee, to deliver thee from the evil man. In Ephesians, here's some situations and having to deal with them. Children and parents. Servant, obey them that are your masters according to the flesh. It's Ephesians 6, 5. Servants, obey them that are your masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling and singleness of heart as unto Christ. Now you may have an employee that mean as a snake. I'm being respectful, I'm just using that for illustration. So you may come up against some of these things and always, not respectfully, always, you're doing the best you can and you're doing it for Christ heartily, but they don't see it that way. As under Christ and not with our service, as men pleasers. So I'm now working on that job as a man pleaser. I'm to be respectful to that man no matter what he does. Unless he's trying to tempt me to sin, I'll say, no, I can't do it. And I've had that happen by a boss. We won't go into that, but I did. But as a servant of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, with goodwill, doing service as to the Lord and not unto men, you're supposed to work your job for the glory of God. I'm supposed to do these devotions for the glory of God. Then men will benefit. Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man does, the same shall receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. Back in that day, a lot of Christians were slaves in the Roman Empire. I heard a brother a while back brought out some history on that. They were called chattel. And those owners could do anything they wanted with them. So bond are free. And ye masters do the same thing unto them. Okay, now you got a boss, right? You respect him. He's a Christian brother, right? And you're working for him. Forbidding, threatening, but there are those who are gonna threaten the boss, right? Knowing that your master also is in heaven, neither there is any respect, of persons with Him. So in the midst of all this, we're going to go back to Proverbs 3 and verse 1. My son, there's a picture of Christ again, but it's also a picture of adopted sons. Forget not my love. Paul says, I delight in love after inwardly. Okay? That's in Romans 7. But let thy heart keep my commandments. Servants, obey then. Let thy heart keep my commandments. Let the love of Christ, and do it heartily for me. For length of days and long life, and guess what it's going to bring to you. It may not bring peace to that fellow that's fussing at you, but it'll bring peace to you. shall they add to thee, dear brother. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee. Bind them about thy neck. Write them upon the tables of thy heart. So shall thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all thy heart, and lean not to thine own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall erect a pass." When all those things that we were talking about come on you, pressed out of measure, Look for a spirit to acknowledge you, Lord, and he shall direct thy path. Listen, he says, be not wise in your eyes. Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It shall be healing to thy navel and marriage to the bones. Honor the Lord with thy substance and with the firstfruits of all thy increase. So shall thy barns be filled with plenty and thy presses brushed out with new wine. Reminds me of the Holy Spirit. My son, despise and also, You're going to have to have chastenings, right? And it says here, my son despised not the chastening of the Lord, nor be weary of his correction. No chastening for the moment seems to be joyful, but grievous, but nevertheless, it says afterwards. And he told Timothy, they sharply rebuked him that they might be sound in the faith. For whom the Lord loveth, he correcteth. I'm sure afraid God will love me. And it may not be joyful, but praise God, He said it would bring forth a peaceful fruit of righteousness. And I would remember what we were saying about Christ took our weapon. He took our stripes upon Him. And if we can remember that, we're not paying for sin, we couldn't pay for sin. It had to be another. Even as a father, the son in whom he delights. If you're a born again believer, believe it or not, God delights in you. You're the apple of His eye. He said so. The church was the apple of His eye. Your royal priesthood and service. You're the household of faith. And remember that you used to be dead in trespasses and sin. You were as child's wrath as others, as we have read, and as you have read, but God who's rich in mercy, his great love when he loved me, even when I was dead in sin, has quickened me together with Christ, by grace you're saved, and has raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Man, he did all that for God the Father. He pleased God the Father. He took care. God says, I don't even see no sin around here no more. Hey, Bobby, come on in. Hey, Brother Gene, come on in. Hey, Johnny, come on in. All the brethren, whoever you are, all those I know of. Listen, in China, if there's those that are there that'll believe it, Russia, wherever. You know, the world is now heading, authorities are heading, trying to become one, I've noticed. One world, Not one world government, no. All the corporal, all the different ones are coming together. It says that in the revelation, by the way. Coming together. And they're going to be one. And they're going to probably be religious, too, by the way. But their religion, whatever it is. But they're going to do everything to get rid of Christianity if they possibly can. Religion they will have. I'm going to lose my place here, aren't I? has raised us together and made us sit together in heavenly places. Therefore, my beloved, as you have always, it's the Philippians 2.12, as ye have always obeyed, not in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling. God may take you. and put you on the back side of the wilderness. You don't get to see the pastor and the preachers and brothers. Because your fellowship is in the Father and the Son. Whether you're there or whether you're not. So Paul was going away. He said, work out the salvation of fear and trembling. My presence is going away from you. So learn. You have to learn not to expect your phone to ring, not for somebody to send you a card. We ought to do that, but most of the time that's not the way it is. God puts on your heart to call somebody, you call them. See, this thing's about God. This thing's about God directing us in whatever life we're in. This devotion was about walking with God and seeking direction, what He wants us to do, and working us both to work. So we work it out with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh you both to will and to do of His good pleasure. What are we here for? Our good pleasure? No. His good pleasure. We just, if we're Christians, even though we got the flesh, you got the earthen vessel, we have to wrestle with it. We still have the spirit of love in Christ that has, that overcomes all that. And we want His will to be done. There's such a desire placed in your heart that you cannot muster up and you cannot break, but the Holy Spirit will shed that love abroad in my heart, my heart, your heart. We're all one in Christ, brother, excuse me. So therefore you can come to the place and do all things without murmuring and disputings. That you may be blameless and harmless sons of God without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation among whom you shine as light in this world. In the age of 2025 wherein you have been planted by God And he says, well, you've been planted by God. Now this is in Christ. We've talked about the flesh, but we're talking about in the spirit of life in Christ in you now. But he says, in your orphan vessel, you have a treasure. You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nations, for what purpose? A peculiar people. And for that purpose, that you should show forth the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. The Song of Solomon talks about how it was a picture of the church and she loved the Lord. And He was all to her. And she was the apple of His eye. God is jealous of you with a godly jealousy. Paul has that same spirit. I'm jealous of you with a godly jealousy. You're to one head, one husband, one owner. Into his marvelous light. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man. And it says, servants obey your song. We read some of that a while ago. I won't read that again. And then six. I don't know why I put that down twice, but I mean, you know, I'm weak at best, I'm flesh at best, okay. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and the power of his might. And this is Ephesians 6, 10. in the power of his mind. Now here's what you gotta do to deal with each one of these situations, right? Put on the whole armor of God. Have him the armor of God. Don't lay it down. God's getting it. Especially to you. He's given this armor to his church. That ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. And we read that Jesus was taken up to be tested. We started off with that. Try and tested by the devil. So you be strong in the Lord and the power of His mind. Put on that armor. And you'll be able to do the same thing. Stand, okay? For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities. Listen, all the stuff that's going on in the world, all around it, won't mention a whole lot of stuff. You know what I'm talking about. You live in this world, you hear the news, you hear all this stuff going on. This one's gonna do that, that's gonna do this, okay? For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and against powers, against the rules of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Therefore, here's what I'm supposed to do. Here's what I... There's something I'm not supposed to do, okay? But I'll read that in a minute, maybe. God willing. Therefore we take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day. And having done all to stand, stand therefore, having your lorans guarded about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace." Now you're ready to walk and face those situations, right? You got the armor. You can overcome all things. Above all, take the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be quenched the fiery darts of the wicked. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints, and for me, the ministers." Now, Paul don't live with us today, but his testimony is with us. When brothers who are truly ministers of God have been called to that office, we pray for them that utterance may be given unto them, that they may open their mouth boldly to make known the mysteries of the gospel, which I am called an ambassador in bonds, that when I may speak boldly as I ought to speak. Paul will speak. And so, when you're brought into situations, and you've got to spiritually answer those situations in the right understanding, in the right relation to them. Let's put it this way now. They were brought into the synagogue among leaders, and They weren't supposed to take any thought what they say was going to be given. So let me read this. And when they bring you into the synagogues, and he was talking about Paul and them back then, but there's some principles for us today that we need to know spiritually and apply. And magistrates and powers take no thought how or what things you shall answer. or what you shall say." And I always read that speaking and saying, but third, word, thought, and deed. Jesus said He said and He did what He said. So facing these situations, I'm not to lean to my own understanding and all my ways acknowledge Him. And it will be given you that understanding in that hour, how to rightly relate to that situation. Or if you've got to answer somebody and you're talking to somebody about some things concerning the gospel and the kingdom of God, it'll be given to you in that same hour. For the Holy Ghost shall teach you. in the same hour what you ought to say." Then, let's see, Matthew 21, that was Luke 12, 11, and 12. Okay, that I just got through reading. Jesus answers and said in Matthew 21, 21 says, Jesus answers and said in there, Verily, verily, I say unto you, if you have faith, and doubt not, you shall, shall not only do to this which is done to the fig tree." Now he, he, on that fig tree, remember what he did? Y'all know what he did. I know you read the story. Sometime or another, he went past by and there wasn't no fruit on it. He said, why cometh it the ground? Rooted but also you shall say unto them this mountain be removed and cast in the sea and it shall be done so all the things we just read brother that you're going through your faith will cast them into the midst of the sea and so on it will remove that mountain and make that land And you'll know how to deal with that and face it. And you'll be able to help others that are in similar situations, especially the ministers of gospel. I appreciate y'all, the ones that have come to confidence. You've gone through trials. And I want to show respect to Brother Gene, Brother Mike, and all the ministers of God, as they have to give up a lot. And they would not want me to feel sorry for them. They'd want me to pray for them. and rejoice that they are more than conquerors through you, Lord Jesus. And he says in Matthew 21, 22, all things whatsoever you have asked in prayer, believe you shall receive. What do you want to receive? A closer walk with Christ, an obedient spirit, Well, I want a new car, a new house, a swimming pool, all of that stuff. My groceries bill dropped. Don't hold your breath. You're asking the wrong thing. As far as I can see, your God's guest says, quit seeking all those things. I know you need those things. You know, I guess you could be in the flesh like a little sport brat, whining all the time. You ever seen that? But the mother and dad love the kid and they know. But you're going to have to be disciplined. Your life does not exist in the abundance of things which you see, own, or taste. Let me ask you a question. If you suddenly drop dead, where's all those things? If you suddenly fell over, Where are all those things that you counted on imported? They're gone. God told me to seek first the kingdom of God. Now, God has given in Timothy, I forget which book it is, but I remember some of it, and I'll share it with you, and you already know it. You know, God says for us to seek first the kingdom of God. I forgot what I was going to say, excuse me. Oh, thank you, Lord. Over there he says, They say touch not, taste not, and so on. And say the forbidding to marry and all of those things. And said, those things in a believer's life that I just talked about, that you're not to seek first, are sanctified to you. And you'll have what God wants you to have. We need to get rid of anything that God don't want us to have in our minds. We spend our time seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. And I know we gotta go about daily affairs, that is for sure. God requires you to do so. Bosses, employees, family members, there's things you gotta see about. But God says, seek ye first the kingdom of God. Before you get up in the morning, try to start thinking about God, talking to God, and say, Lord, direct my path. And you talk about being holy and righteousness. and all of that. But Lord, when you get this, listen, I have found asking those sincerely and wanting it. Uh-oh. Here comes crosses. Here comes trials. But Lord, I ask you. Right. I'm killing your flesh out now so that you will have that prayer answered. God sometimes answers things that quick. Let me tell you something. I wasn't praying about this. I went out just yesterday. I have a little business I do. It's salvage. It's kind of like a hobby with me, too. I enjoy doing it. And so I went to take my stuff to the salvage yard, and I stopped by a little restaurant real close to the Atlanta airport. And I have to back my trailer in. It's kind of hard to back. a little short trailer, but besides that, anyhow. There was a man parking, he got out and he spoke to me just very cheerfully. It's like I knew him all my life. Started talking, we talked all the way in the building. We went to the line to get our food. I got up to pay my bill, and guess what? The lady at the cashier says, he's already paid it for you. God gave me that meal. Do you see what I'm saying? He taught me something. If all things fall apart on you and you can't buy your groceries, God can turn even the Egyptians or Christian brothers to take care of you. That's no thought to be thinking all out, you know, I swear it's going to be all the time. No. But I'm saying God can take care of you in every situation. I was just really amazed and thankful. And I'll let that man know I appreciate it. And I got to talk to him about some of the things of the Lord. It came to my heart. Brother, I hope and pray that this weak vessel, a base thing, a thing of naught, hadn't talked down to you in any way, but wanted to fellowship with you, wanted to share with you things I'd been talking about for the longest. It didn't come out exactly the way I was thinking when I first started thinking about it, but if you got it, it was the Lord. So give glory to God and please pray for us. I know you do, but I can't ask enough for the prayers. And I want to say something. This morning we test this equipment, and my wife helps me. She comes in, talks, and makes sure I got the sound just right. And she found one of Brother, we had one of Brother Gene's booklets over there he wrote years ago. And it's called I Desire Fruit. And she read out of that and I was amazed. It covered the very things that I was talking about. And it's called I Desire Fruit and it's out of Philippians 4.17. And another thing, we were reading the devotional this morning. And it witnessed the same thing, Proverbs 16. So if you get an opportunity to read that, I would recommend it. I pray the love of God's been expressed. And I don't want to cut down any assembly. throughout the world. I want the Lord to give you discernment of what's good and what's not. So what you have to do is this. If they say here, I've mentioned this before, but it don't hurt to mention it again, does it? If they say here, believe it or not, he's in the desert, believe it or not, go not forth. And if they tell you we're now giving a nation peace and rest, be careful. Because in one scripture in Thessalonians, I think it was, when they shall say, peace and safety, sudden destruction. Now countries at that time that have been enemies now began to make bond together, to come up. And I guess you call those dictators? Well, guess what? All the bragging about what you're going to do and not going to do, you may get it to be done, but you will not get it without the determinate counsel and knowledge of God. And God was long-suffering with Pharaoh, very long-suffering. But eventually, Pharaoh's kingdom crumbled because there's only one general kingdom. And God rules over the nations and over the world, and he gives And He sets up man as His determinate counsel and foreknowledge. But, brethren, God desires fruit out of us in obeying Him and following Him. And He says, if you see these things, be not angry, fret not yourself, for these things are short-lived. You better look to Jesus for your support. Now you go about doing good. You don't march on here and demonstrate over here and demonstrate on up. You stay on your cross. You're here to bring judgment on this world by Christ. All those that deny the Lord Jesus Christ, the church and the living church and their life in Christ will condemn all of that unrighteousness that says we don't want nothing to do with Christ. We despise We despise the Lord Jesus Christ, it says. And don't forget, brethren, we once were dead in trespasses and sins. We're a child's wrath, just like them. But God is rich in mercy. God's only gonna save the elect. But that don't mean you can't put up a prayer for folks. You never know who the elect is. Thank you, brethren. When this passing life is done When as set yon glaring sun When I stand with Christ in glory, Looking o'er thy Spanish glory, Then, Lord, shall I wholly know, But not till then, how much I owe. Hear the wicked call On the rocks and hills to fall When I see them start and shriek On that fiery day to treat Then Lord shall I fully know But not till then How much I owe When I stand before thy throne Dressed in beauty not my own When I see thee as thou art Love me with unseeming heart, Then, Lord, shall I fully know, But not till then.
