Amen. Probably some pot and it's hard to tell. Amen. Praise the Lord. Amen. How many are glad you're saved this morning? Say Amen. If you're not glad you're saved, then you probably ain't. Amen. I'm telling you, it's the best thing that will ever happen to you is when you give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Now, it doesn't mean it's always going to be easy. It doesn't mean it's going to be smooth sailing. It doesn't mean it's always going to be fun, but it's always going to be the best thing that ever happened to you. Amen. Thank God for grace. Thank God for mercy, salvation, for shouting, for singing, for testimonies, for snot, for all that good stuff. Thank God that God moves. Amen. Well, glory be to God. Amen. I'm ready to have a fit and get things started. Amen. Thank God for salvation this morning. I'm going to preach to you a real simple message, Brother Danny. I'm going to just preach about 10 minutes, then go home and squall for a little while or nap. Amen. Listen, we're tired, y'all. We got home by about 2. Hunter got home about 3. Is that right? About 3 o'clock this morning. He's slow. He grannied up the interstate. And I kept telling him, I said, Hunter, go faster. And I'd call him, where you at? Well, Brother Gary, I just woke up. He's sleeping in a fast lane, all that kind of stuff. And I think, I'm worried about him. He's by himself. He wouldn't leave when we left, I tried to get him to, but I was worried about him, wanted to make sure he got home. So I tell him, message me, or call me as soon as you get home, so I know he's about an hour behind us. And this morning, I get up, so I message, are you home? Oh brother, I'm sorry, I forgot. And he was still asleep, because the actual text message says, I-S-I-R-U-T-Q. Amen. I'm glad he made it. Glad everybody made it home safe. Glad y'all had a good week at home, I hope. And if you've not had a good week, hopefully next week it's better. Amen. Thankful for you. Thankful for your faithfulness this morning. And we're just thankful to be saved. Amen. And we're going to try to encourage you just for a little bit this morning. It's a message the Lord laid on my heart. And then Ms. Marie was asking some questions, and I about had to preach to her in the parking lot down at the church down here this weekend. But John chapter 10, we're going to start reading verse 24. Again, we're very thankful for everybody that's here this morning. We do appreciate your faithfulness. But John chapter 10, verse 24. Then came the Jews. Round about him. Well, they've got him surrounded. Amen. That's what you look round about. And the Greek means surrounded. That's what that means. They round about him and said unto him, how long does thou make us to doubt? Wasn't that a question to ask the Lord? It's your fault. We doubt. Catch that. How long does thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, another question. Tell us plainly. Well, what in the world else has he done? All this time he's been with them, what's he been telling them? So, they say, there are two questions there. How long will you make us doubt if thou be the Christ? Verse 25, Jesus answered them, I told you. Man, he sounds like a parent, don't he? How many of y'all have ever looked at your kids and said, I told you. Why did y'all look at y'all's kids when I said that? I've seen about four parents go, mm-hmm, you heard that this morning, amen. I told you to get up out of that bed, told you to get ready, told you them shoes didn't match, y'all been there, I told you. He said, I told you, and ye believe not. Very plain. He said, you believe not the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me, but ye believe not because Ye are not of my sheep. As I said unto you, Jesus said, I've told you this before. You don't believe me because you're not mine. So he says, so he goes on. He starts talking about his sheep. Well, I love these verses. Y'all have heard these verses all your Christian life. My sheep hear my voice. How many of you ever heard it? Amen. It's not loud, audible, or anything like that. Sometimes it's just a still, small voice. It speaks into your soul, and your heart, and your mind, and it just begins to tell you, and nod you, and caress you. He says, my sheep know my voice, and I love this, and I know them. Amen? I'm glad the Lord Jesus knows me. Amen? I asked somebody the other day, I said, you want God's presence in your life, right? How many of y'all want God's presence? Say amen. We want God's presence in our life. Do you want that? Yeah, I want God's presence. I want God's presence. As bad as you want God's presence, you need to realize something. God wants your presence in His life. So he says, you know what? He says, my sheep know my voice. And I know them. They follow me. Hey, you know somebody's a sheep, you know who they're following. He says, and I give unto them eternal life. I love this. They shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father which gave them me is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. Amen. Praise the Lord. Amen. And I and my Father are one. Then the Jews, this is their response, then the Jews took up stones again to stone him, meaning they've done it before. They took up stones again to stone him. Jesus again answers, many good works have I showed thee from my father, for which of those works do you stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, for a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them and said, it is not. Is it not written in your law? I said, you're God. He's quoting the Psalms there. I said, you're God's. If he called them God's unto whom the word of God came. Here's another a man part and the scripture cannot be broken. Amen. So say ye of him whom the father hath sanctified and sent into the world, thou blasphemous, because I said, I am the son of God. If I do not the works of my father, believe me not. But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in him." Now a lot of stuff there, man can preach on there for months and never preach it all, but I won't preach till you're on the thought, are you his? You see there are a lot of things going on. First of all, they've got Jesus surrounded. They've come round about Him, and they've got Him surrounded. And that's just exactly how our world is today. It's like they're encamped about the Lord Jesus Christ, and they've got Him surrounded. Politically, They're trying their best to tie the arms of churches right now. And in doing so, they're attacking Jesus Christ, because we are the body of Christ. So they're still attacking Him. So they're surrounding Him politically. They're surrounding Him spiritually. You guys know that? You can look in this world and you can see the mess that the devil has gotten this world in. All this stuff is spiritual. Amen? All this drugs, all this... Our entertainment industry has all gotten so spiritual, and they've got Jesus surrounded. And when doing so, they feel now that Jesus is vulnerable. You know, this world thinks Jesus Christ is weak, and they've got Him surrounded, and they think, well, we can do what we want to with Him now. And I'll be honest, the reason they think that is because so many churches and Christians are so weak in their faith. We're weak in doctrine, we're weak in belief, we're weak in everything. So they think they've got Him surrounded. And then they begin to ask an attack question. How long does that make us to doubt? How many times do you hear somebody say, it's the Lord's fault I don't believe? They may not say it just like that, but they say, God, if you're real, show me. Prove it. He's going to. And then they're going to eat those words and regret it. He proves it every day. The Bible says the creation testifies of him. You know what? A dog will bark because God tells it to bark. Amen. I have never met a dog that questioned whether or not it was a dog or a cat. They don't have gender identity issues. Amen. I mean, my little puppy dog over there, my lover, she's 14 years old, little Boston Terrier, and she knows she's a Boston Terrier. She knows she's a little bitty dog. She knows she's a she. Amen. I mean, I could say some stuff, but I'm not going to, but she knows. She's not confused about herself. Amen. Listen, creation test, you know, the birds will fly and sing when God tells them to. They do exactly what God tells them. And they say, look, God, if you're really God, show me. God, prove it. And God says, all right, one of these days I'm going to prove it, and you're not going to like it. I've tried my best to show you for all your life, and you wouldn't have it. So one of these days you're going to believe the next work I do, and you're going to stand before me and have to give an account. But anyhow, they said, tell us plainly. If thou be the Christ, if thou be Christ, tell us plainly. No doubt some of them guys were really wanting an answer. They're sincere. No doubt. A lot of these guys, most of them, verse 31 tells you, they just want Jesus dead. That's the attitude of our world. We just want to get rid of him. We want to get rid of Jesus. They want to get rid of anything that has anything to do with biblical Christianity. They hate it. That's why Israel's in a mess. Why? Because it's in the Bible. And they know, the devil knows, man, where did Jesus come from? Israel. So he hates Israel. Who's Jesus living in? The church. So who does he hate? He hates the church. They hate the church. So they attack us. And they said, tell us plainly. And they want you dead. And Jesus, if you know this story. All this is taking place at the Feast of Dedication. We call it Hanukkah. the festival of lights. It amazes me that at this festival of Hanukkah, festival of lights, feast of dedication, that they don't ask Jesus about the time when he said he was the light of the world. You're at the festival of lights, but you don't ask the light of the world how. They're at the festival that Israel celebrates. They're almost like our 4th of July. They were being oppressed by a guy named, I think, Antiochus Epiphanes. and had destroyed their temple. So they had rebuilt it. They got liberated, I think, the Maccabees, the Maccabean Revolt, you know, if you study history, and they won their freedom back. So it's kind of like Independence Day for them. How can you celebrate independence and not ask the guy who said, if you said, if you should make us free, we'll be free indeed. They don't think about that. They're so worried about it. There you have a festival that is dedicated to the rebuilding of the temple, Feast of Dedication, and nobody asked him about him saying, you said you was the temple. But they want to know if he's the Christ. And they want to know why, because it's a loaded question. If he says, yes, I'm the Christ, they'll say, you've blasphemed, and they've already got the rocks in their hands. If he says, no, I'm not the Christ, then they'll say, look, y'all, he's a liar. Such a loaded question. The question is meant to trick and to tempt the Lord Jesus Christ. And we see that. So the world does it today. They surrounded him and they ask this question. And today, in order to surround the Lord Jesus Christ, as we mentioned earlier, the world's got to attack us. Why? Because Jesus lives in each one of us. So the questions and the attacks, they're just relentless. And they're non-stop. It's every time you turn around, it's a different battle with the devil. My mom used to sing a song, the first line says, once again, I face Satan this morning. Amen. Y'all heard that song? I just think she's singing about dad. Amen. Y'all heard that song? Once again, I faced Satan this morning, and I battled him all the day long. But in my weakness, I found a foundation. I'm gonna mess it up. Reinforcement, something like that. I'm preaching. Amen. And I hold to his unchanging hands. And the sun's coming up in the morning. Listen, we're gonna battle. You're going to have fights and tribulations and mess and all kinds of stuff. But let me ask you a question. We've read about the question that the Pharisees and the Jews asked the Lord Jesus Christ there that day. But let me ask you a question. Are you His? Are you His? Do y'all hear me? Is it not any turned up? I don't think they hear me, Ms. Libby. Are you His? Are you the Lord Jesus Christ's sheep? Are you his person? Are you part of his bride? Are you his church? Are you his? That's my question for you this morning. And so, Brother Gary, what do you mean? Are you his? Simple. Are you his? Do you belong to him? Listen, this verse, he says, my sheep know my voice. Let me ask you, are you his sheep? Amen. Is He your shepherd? Are you following Him? Does He lead you beside the still waters? Does He restore you? Listen, for they say, Thou restoreth my soul, that means His soul had to be in trouble at some point. Amen? Listen, y'all, we're going to have some troubles and trials, even as His sheep. So are you His? Are you His sheep? Have you heard His voice? Amen? Listen, has He ever spoke to you in a still, small voice when you were running and hiding, scared out of your mind? didn't know where to turn, and all of a sudden you felt God's voice come into your heart and said, listen son, listen honey, I'm already here, I'm not late, I didn't forget you. Yeah, you didn't see me yet, but you had your eyes closed, you was distracted by everything else, but God tell me I'm gay. I've never left you. I've never forsaken you. I promise you I'd go with you all the way, even to the end of the world. Listen, he says, Gary, listen, it's my voice. It's the same voice that called you as a son. If you'll come to me, I'll save you. That's the same voice. Listen, I want you to preach for me. It's that same voice. I thank God this morning. I've heard the voice. Amen. And listen, are you known by him? My sheep hear my voice and I know them. Does Jesus know you? What is He going to say at judgment? Depart from me. I never knew you. Not I used to know you. Boy, a lot of folks choke on that right there. Amen. He never said I used to know you, but I never knew you. They never say to start with. But I believe when I get done, I was just singing a song, it's in the hymn book. It says, well done my child. I don't expect to get a lot of accolades, but as long as I get well done, I'm happy. It's not mistakes, amen. I know Brother David disagrees with me on that, but he needs to get saved, amen. Amen. Listen, listen y'all. Listen, the Lord Jesus Christ says, I know them. I thank God this morning that Jesus knows me. We sing all the time, I'm glad I know the Lord. I'm glad I know what it is that I am. Brother Hunter, let me tell you something. I'm more happy that he knows who I am, amen. I'm happy that the Lord Jesus Christ wrote my name in His book, amen? I'm so happy when the Lord Jesus Christ settles down into my soul and my spirit, and when the Lord Jesus Christ called me as a nine-year-old little boy sitting on the mountain springs trail back to church, front row, about where Kaylee will be sitting this afternoon. I thank God that He wasn't a respecter of age, He wasn't a respecter of color, He wasn't a respecter of ability. The Lord Jesus Christ came to where I was. He didn't worry about you being down in old stinking Mingo, bloody Mingo County. He wasn't worried about all the mess of West Virginia. The Lord Jesus Christ said, that's one. I want him. I love him. I died for him. And he knew who I was and he came and got me out of my sin. Amen. Are you following him? He's in my sheep. Follow me. Where would Jesus go? You know what, what would WWJD, what would Jesus do? Where would Jesus go? WWJG, I guess that's a snappy. Where would Jesus go? That's where you ought to go. If you're following him, right? Where's he go? Man, being a Christian, man, man, love, your ability means you're going to get attacked. You shouldn't expect the devil just to let you just live for the Lord and never bother you. That's what it means. But it also means you've been changed. Hello. I am not what I used to be. And I'm never going to be a used to be. Amen. Y'all better hang on. I'm about to pick this pulpit up and throw it to Wes. And Wes is going to run laps around this church. Amen. And I'm already tired. I ain't even got to my point yet. Amen. But I'm telling you, being a Christian means you've been changed. Amen. How many of you used to be something you don't want to be no more? Amen. I think a lot of things people used to say about me, and most of it's true. Some of it wasn't. Some of it's still not. But maybe people say a lot of bad things about me. You know, we got folks in this church that used to be called lots of things, amen? Used to be called, well, bad stuff, amen? You'll be called floozies and stuff like that, or skirt chasers, or drunks, or alcoholics, or whatever. But thank God, when Jesus Christ came into my life, He changed me. Amen? Some of y'all used to run around with a cuss word in your mouth, and you'd be ready to get into cusses and look at somebody. And now you're sitting in a church house this morning, lifting your hand up, saying, I love the Lord. Praise Jesus. You know why? Because you've been changed. Amen? Some of y'all have been in some of y'all's houses I've watched you drink, I've watched you do the drugs, I've watched all kinds of stuff, but now you're sitting in church house this morning saying, you know what, I'm saved by God's grace, I'm on my way to heaven, amen? There's been a change in me, amen? I'm not the man I used to be. Old things have passed away since Christ has set me free, and there's been a change, there has been a change in me. Being a Christian means you're peculiar, amen? That means you're an oddball this morning. You don't fit in this world, you don't belong here, why? because you're a child of the King and you belong up there. Amen. You're peculiar. It means you've been chosen. Amen. God has picked you up and saved you by His grace. You're separated. You're not part of this world no more. And all that upsets the devil so much. Easton, you should have warned her that when I get going real good that milk and honey comes flowing out. Now, next time at the high school, she's going to be like, don't get him started. He'll spit on you. Amen. You better not say stuff like that about me. You better not let him either. If he does, punch him right in the face. Might help it. Amen. But man, you've made the devil mad. When you got saved, you made the devil mad. Because you're running the opposite direction the way the devil wants you to go. He said, I had him going this way. Now he's going that way. And then, here, stand up, D. Good. Come here, Easton. Hurry up. Hurry up. Don't run. Hurry up. Hurry up. Don't run. Hurry up. I said don't run. Hurry up. Here's Easton. He's a lost man. I'm not saying you're lost, but if you are, oh, well. Here's D over here. D's just got saved. He's going, woo! Look, D. I'm sick, Gary. Come over here. Let's do this. Over there's D. He's a lost man. Over here's Easton, a saved man. Easton just got saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. He's going, woo! Lord, could I not pick two worse people for this example? I might need y'all to do it here in a minute. All right, here's D. He's saved. He's like Church of Christ saved or something, I don't know. He's saved, amen. He thinks he is. He's being baptized, right? Here's Easton, he's lost. I need somebody to be the devil. Who wants to be the devil? Who wants to be the devil? You guys want to be the devil? That's sad right there. Come here, Luther, you're the devil. Amen. What you gotta do, you gotta look at him and say, you're out! Here's the devil. He's got Easton coming this way, and here comes D. He's got his tracks in his hand. Where's your tracks? I know you got one. Here in my Bible. Oh, bless his heart. Here in my Bible, just like a Baptist. The Bible's at the house on the kitchen table. Here we go. Here are my tracks. All right. You're going to go over and you're going to get... Now listen, devil, what do you want him to do? He's like, no. Come on, devil. Get in his way. Get in his way! I swear it's like Larry Moe and Curly trying to help me preach. Guys, listen, I got 30 minutes to preach, okay? Can y'all help me out? No, it's on the fly. So he's going, he got, you start walking this way. He's trying to get, okay. And that's good enough. Go sit down. I don't want no fighting in here. You sit down. Hurry up. Don't run. So, but you get the picture. They say he's going this way. Here comes Easton, the devil's got him, and the course of this world's going this way. Well, Dee's like, man, I got something. You got to get off this track. You got to get off this road. And the devil's like, I don't like it. And so what's he going to do? He's not going to bother Easton. I'm just using you for an example now. Don't get your feelings hurt, you little sissy. He's coming this way and you know, you decide, you know, that's not any witness need a witness And so devil's not gonna attack that one. He's gonna attack this one that's going against the grain Why because he's a maybe he might be the one that gets that young man and gets him saved a man gets leading to the Lord Jesus Christ So but y'all wasted ten minutes of my time this morning. I'm gonna shoot both of you all three of you So you're chosen you're separating the devil's upset with you because you're ruining his plan of For everybody else, you know, you get saved, and they're like, well, you know, I can't unsave you, I should not make you unprofitable and useless for the Lord. So listen, let me tell you, I'm going to try to preach this now 10 minutes, thank you, fellas. Lord help, they're not going to get no Academy Awards, I tell you. But listen, I'll tell you, number one, the attacks in your life are on purpose, amen? that are on purpose. How do you know that? Because John writes in this very peculiar phrase, and something you need to memorize in here. John says, and it was winter. Amen. It's a time of no fruit. Amen. It's a time of barrenness. It's a time of cold. It's a rainy season over in Israel. It's a time when you don't really want to get out and about. That's when the devil is going to show up and try to attack you, is in the winter times of your life. When it gets cold spiritually. When you're down in the dumps spiritually. When there's no fruit to be found spiritually. And then the devil cometh and he starts attacking you. He knows when you're going through a winter time, amen? He knows when you're being in a mess. He knows the rainy season of your life. when you feel like you're drowning in the cares of the world. And that's when Satan wants to come and get you. Why? Because he knows those storms are not fun. Amen. Listen, it's during the storms when your power goes out. It's during the storms when your supplies can run low. Ladies and gentlemen, it's during the storms when you can't get out and harvest what you need to harvest. You're looking at the walls and you're wishing for spring. And the devil wants to attack you in the winters of your life. They're there. Feast of dedication. They're remembering this great victory over Antiochus. But in order for you to remember a victory, you've got to remember the battles. And then cometh the devil. See, if he can get you more focused on the hard time than he was on the victory, he's got you. See, the devil's mad at you. He's mad at God. He's mad at Jesus. And since Jesus lives in you, he's going to be mad at you. That's why Jesus said, marvel not if the world hates you, because it hates me first. If I'm in you, you should expect hatred. Don't focus on the battle. Focus on the victory. So your attacks are on purpose. Number two. Now, here's where Brother Gary is going to probably have a fit for about seven minutes. Your destiny is pre-determined. Now you say, Brother Gary, are you being Calvinistic? No. I'm just going to read you what the Bible says. What's the Bible say? Let's go back over there and look. He says, I give unto them eternal life. You already have eternal life as a Christian. He said, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. So again, real quick, let me ask you a question. Are you his sheep? You're still there, right? Don't let me get them boys back up here. We ain't got time for that. Are you his sheep? Have you heard his voice? Does Jesus know who you are? Amen. Are you following Jesus? Come on, Hunter, help me out. If you've answered yes in verse 20, and I give unto them eternal life. Listen, if you're saved this morning, you're saved. Amen. Jesus didn't halfway save anybody. Thank God for that. Amen. He didn't almost save anybody. God told Paul, almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. That's one thing. But when you say, Lord Jesus, if you'll have me, I'll come. He didn't say, well, I'll save you this much, but you'll have to come back tomorrow and get this much more, and you'll have to come back tomorrow and get this much more, when you have to come back tomorrow and get this much more. Listen, y'all, when the Lord Jesus saved me, He saved me to the uttermost. Amen? That means above and beyond what I could ever imagine. Listen, y'all, I pray to God this morning, we are saved this morning. And thank God, my destiny's already been determined. I'm saved. I'm saved. I know I'm saved. A million years from now, I'm going to tell you exactly where I'm going to be. I'm going to be around the feet of Jesus, crying and worshipping, slinging snot, and just thanking Jesus for saving my sorry soul from the devil's hell. That's where I'm going to be in a million years. I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. But man, you give me a thousand years, I can tell you exactly where I'm going to be. Amen? I'm saved, I know I'm saved. Listen, and if you're saved, you have, hear me out, you have already endured to the end. There's nothing coming up that's going to ever unsave you. Amen? There's nothing coming up. There's nothing coming up that's ever going to knock you out of His hand. There's nothing coming up that's ever going to separate you from the love of God. Not famine, not peril, not disease, not pestilence, not heightened or death, not any other creature is able to celebrate and separate you from the love of God. Amen. I'm telling you, I'm saved this morning. Amen. I'm already endured to the end. I can never perish. I'm never going to fall short. I'm never going to quit. I can't give up. I'm going to heaven this morning. Amen. You'll never be lost again. Dave, I think I broke three things and four of them was in my body. Amen. You'll never be lost again because you've been born again. I and you miss miss Susie, we've taken our place in heaven. Paul said, we've been glory. Paul said, you've been made to sit together in heavenly places. Brother Luke, what's that mean? That means I'm already there. You're seeing this side of me and up in heaven, I'm seeing things I don't even know yet. Thank God this morning. Nothing's ever going to happen. It's going to unsave you. You may go through a battle, but you're going to go through. Glory. I don't know if y'all are liking this as much as I am, but I'll be honest with you. I don't care. I'm preaching it anyhow. Amen. I've never fallen short. Paul said, for I heard a lot of friction, which is but for a moment, just temporary. It's just temporary. My favorite verse in the Bible says, and it came to pass. But I love that, it came to pass. Bad things come up, but it came to pass. And it might pass like a kidney stone, but it came to pass, amen? It might hurt, it might be like that demon that ripped and tore that guy on its way out, but bless God, it passed, amen? For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, amen? This storm will pass, the roses will bloom again, amen? Satan tried his best to destroy you, but the last time I checked in my King James Bible, Romans 8.28 is still in there. Amen. All things work together for the good. Amen. It's still in the book. I read about Joseph, David, Daniel, Elijah, Ruth, Naomi, Esther, Peter, Paul. All them folks endured difficult times. But right now, every last one of them standing up in heaven right now with the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. That righteous cry and the Lord hear it and deliver them out of all their troubles. Amen. Thank God this morning. God didn't get you in a mess to leave you there. Amen. He saved you and it's going to deliver you. Well, glory. Lastly. I've preached to you, are you his? And if your answer is yes, well, your first two points is all for you. But if the answer is no, last point's for you. You can be his. There's no excuse for you to be in a service like this this morning with a preacher that loves you, a church that loves you, I'm praying for you. And if you die lost and go to hell, you just got to be about as dumb as Kamala Harris. Amen. You're sitting back there right now and you know you're lost. You got a lot of folks fooled, but you don't got God fooled. And the Holy Spirit's dealing with your heart. And you know what? You can be His. See, the Lord Jesus didn't die just for one or two folks. Lord Jesus Christ didn't just take away the sins of some of us. My Bible says the whole world. And for God so loved the world. He didn't just love pawn fork. He loved the world. He didn't just love ugly people. D thanks God he did. But he loved some of you good looking folks too. Both of us. He died for you. If you go to hell, get this, you want to. And you say, Brother Gary, nobody wants to go to hell. Then why do they tell Jesus no? You have an opportunity to get saved and you're choosing hell. And I see preachers, people laugh at me. I would rather get laughed at a million times by some loser down here. as to have the Lord Jesus Christ tell me to depart from me. You're going to laugh at me till the cows come home. When I stand before Jesus Christ, I'm going to get a pat on the back. And say, oh, don't say stuff like that. The truth. Well done.

Hurry up. I know. Give him some something to help him after a while. Hunter comes into heaven and there's the Lord Jesus Christ standing before him. He says, Hunter, you're saved, aren't you? Yeah. Hunter, you love me? Yeah. Hunter, you know what I'll ask you to do? What? Hunter, did you do? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, so well done. You think he's going to do it 100 ways?

He said, if you're high God is going to help, we're going to go downtown. He says, come here West, I want to show you something. I won't make you get up. He says, West, look way over yonder. You see that throne sitting over there? We're getting ready to go over there. Here, let me hand you your crown. Let me give you your crown. We're getting ready to go over to the throne, the room of God. And you're going to get a chance to worship like you've never worshipped before. And you're going to be sitting there shouting, praising God throughout the end of ages. Amen. Praise the good Lord, amen. Well, glory, I'm about to have another fit. You go to loss, you so dumb. You go, you go to loss, you go to hell. Mama. There it is. Miss Libby, you miss Lisa, come up here. It's down, you come up here too. Hurry up, show these boys how it's done, ladies. Show them how you hurry. Look, large fellas, you see that? Y'all get in there. The Lord Jesus is going to look at y'all. He's going to say, you see all this surrounding you? He'll say, guess where we are, ladies? And they're going to say, Lord, where are we? He'd say, Miss Sharon, they are right now standing in the center of heaven. They'd say, look at me, y'all. They're going to say, what Lord? He's in the middle of it all. Here I am. There's Jesus. He says, I am your center of attention. I am your object of affection. I am everything you've ever loved, everything you've ever worshipped in your life. I'm the reason you sing. I'm the reason you pray. I'm the reason you cry. I'm the reason you shout, church. I'm the reason you've got up this morning. He said, in the middle of all, there you all stand around the throne room of God. He goes and says, in the middle of it all, brother Jeff, in the middle of every trouble, in the middle of every trial, Miss Sharon, in the middle of every mess up, Miss Cheryl. He said, Brother Mark, in the middle of all the times you were troubled and hurt downhearted, He said, in the middle of it all, I'm still here. Amen. What a blessing, Brother Denny. In the middle of your prayers. He said, I heard it. I was there. Y'all can go sit down. Thank you, ladies. Amen. In the middle of it all, you can be His. Where's He at right now? Revelation chapter 1 tells us, John said, I saw seven golden candlesticks, which were the seven churches. He said, I looked and behold in the midst. Well, in the midst of them, seven golden candlesticks, there was one. And John said, you know what? I knew him. I knew the voice. I knew the image. I knew the voice. I knew the touch. I knew the walk. I knew it. I knew it. Why? Because I've been following that man. And in the midst of them seven golden candlesticks, there was Jesus. If you go to hell from here, you will leave the think this. You're leaving the very place where Jesus stands in the middle of to go to a place where there'll never be an opportunity. You can be saved. I won't hurry. Verse 35, the scripture cannot be broken. Jesus said, come unto me, all ye that labor and heavy laden, I'll give you rest. That scripture Cannot be broken. Romans 828. All things were good. That scripture. Cannot be broken. But we believe that God raised from the dead and those images of gospel God bring with him. That scripture cannot be broken. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want that scripture. Cannot be broken. Romans 10 that thou shalt confess my mouth. The Lord Jesus Christ, my heart, the God of raising from the dead, thou shalt be saved. That scripture cannot Be broken. Don't go to hell from here. If you're not his, you can be his. All sin, all the wages of sin is death. You can't save yourself. Your mom and your dad can't save you. Your, your achievements, your accolades, none of that's going to save you. The only thing that can save you from hell is the only thing that's ever saved anybody from hell. and that is the blood of the lamb. Let's all bow our heads, Mrs. Emelon, wherever you are, if you will, come on up, sweetie. If I wasn't saved,
