Thank you, sir. I want to thank the Lord today for his many, many blessings. I tell you, I'm thankful today the Lord don't give us what we deserve, but he's very long-suffering, merciful to us. We're not willing that any should perish, but all should come under repentance. I tell you, he's died for the entire world. He gave his son that all that believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. And once you get saved, I tell you, we belong to God and he loves us and he wants us to cleanse ourselves daily from all filthiness of the flesh, striving to perfect wholeness in the fear of God. It's a daily thing to cleanse yourself, being in this old wicked world, being in this old body that we're housed in, the flesh that we are housed in. I'm talking about the outward man. When you really get saved, he changes you on the inside. He puts the Holy Spirit of God on the inside. He changes your nature. He gives you a new nature. I'm talking about the spirit man. I'm talking about the inward man. And I tell you that one day we're going to have a new body. We're going to have a brand new life. But in this life, I tell you, we're tempted on every hand. The devil's out to destroy. He's that roaring lion, walking to and fro, seeking whom he may devour. He's my adversary today. He's the one I'm fighting against, that and myself, the flesh. saying no to self and yes to God. And I tell you, just examining myself and asking and praying for wisdom that God would let me see and understand all that I need to understand, that I may know the devil, that I may know his tactics, that I may know how he comes against me, and that I might fight a good fight. The Bible said we must fight a good fight in the warfare. I tell you, Weapons of our warfare he said are not carnal being mighty through God of pulling down the strongholds and the devil works That's what he does. He works on the mind to tear down the mind To take our minds away from God and that's where he does but we must gird up the loins of our mind being the Bible said Clear thinking, just thinking on things above and not on things beneath, girding up the loins of our mind and doing that which is pleasing in the sight of God. It's a daily thing and we must fight a good fight, keep the faith. And I tell you, souls are precious, souls are at stake. People are dying and sinning going to hell and we that are saved we that are born again. We know the truth We must get it out there to them. We must tell them the Word of God We must let them know there's hope that got that Christ died for their sins And he is the answer to all of their problems. He will help them He will pull them up out of the Puckmeyer sin and set them on the solid rock, which is Christ He is the way that the truth and the life. He is that rock. He's the rock of the church. The church is built upon this rock. He's the rock. He's the foundation of the church and of our lives. We that have saved him, I tell you what, I love him today and I appreciate what he did for me. how he died for my sins and how he took my sin and bore my sins in his own body on the tree. He did the same for you. And I'll tell you today, if you want to get to heaven, you must trust him as your Lord and Savior. You must repent. You must call upon his precious name. The Bible said, with a heart man believeth unto righteousness. And a malconfession is made unto salvation. You must come, and you've got to pour out your heart to Him. You've got to cry out from within, from your total being. And if you want Him to save you, if you're willing to turn from your sin, you're willing to live for God. I mean, you're broke, you're contrite, you're sorrowful. that you sin against God, then that transformation will take place. When you call upon Him, repent, He'll save you. When you confess your sins, He'll forgive you. And He'll make you a new creature in Christ. Old things pass away. Behold, all things will become new to you. when you get saved. That's wonderful today. What a wonderful promises that we have and there's hope for you today. But today I want to read to you out of book of Acts chapter 4 and he talked about it was dealing and continuing on from chapter 3 where he was talking about this man that was lame and potent man that was laid there at the gate. The Bible said the beautiful gate when Peter and John went up to the temple at the hour of prayer he was there and he was there often no doubt but the Bible said when He's seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple. He asked them for alms and things of that sort. He was needing help. And Peter fastened his eyes upon them and said, look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, silver or gold have I none, but such as I have, give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. In the name of Jesus Christ, rise up And I tell you they did this miracle here that God performed through the hands of Peter here and John and the Lord lifted this man up. He stood up and walked and entered to the temple, walking and leaping and praising God for what he had done. And all the people saw him walking and praising God. They knew that it was this one that was laid at the gate, that beautiful gate of the temple. And the Bible said, this is the man, this is the lame man. And when Peter and John went that way, then the Lord healed him. And the people began to marvel at this and look on them like they had some kind of power or some kind of something special about them that this man was healed. But they began to tell them that it was the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, had glorified His Son Jesus. Yes, He has. He has glorified His Son Jesus. Tell you I love Jesus. He's my Savior. He's my all-in-all and he should be glorified He should be lifted up and the Bible said if he'd be lifted up He would draw all men unto him the Bible said here that they delivered him up. I And he said, whom you delivered up? He said, the one you delivered up, the Lord Jesus, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go, you begin to say, away with him, away with him, crucify him. And the Bible said, this is the name, this is the power, this is the one, this is why this man's made whole, because of what Jesus done. It's Jesus, it's through him. And the Bible said, but you indeed, the Holy One, But you denied the Holy One and the just, and desired a murder to be granted unto you, and killed the Prince of life, whom God had raised from the dead. Where are we, our witnesses? And His name, through faith in His name, had made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yea, the faith which is by Him hath given this perfect soundness in the presence of you all." He said, this is why this man's made whole. This is the reason. And he talked about this and about, and they begin to ask by what power or what name have this been done? And it's in the name of Jesus. That's where it said, and the Bible said in chapter four here, When they begin to go and you look at verse number 10, it says, be it known unto you all and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him that this man stand here before You hold. This is the reason this man is made whole. And he did the same thing for me. I was, I mean, spiritually speaking, I was lame. I was dumb. I mean, I was deaf. I mean, I, I was just a pitiful shape. I couldn't help myself whatsoever. I was lost. I was a sinner. And I tell you, I was on my way to hell, but I'm so glad when I called on Him, when I trusted Him, and I believed on the name of Jesus Christ, and when I repented, when I confessed my sins to God, and my heart was broken, I got saved. He changed me. He made me new. He lifted me up. He pulled me up out of the Puckmeyer sin. He gave my ankle bones strength. I tell you, He caused me to leap and to praise and to glorify the name of Jesus when He saved me. I tell you, that's something wonderful today. I tell you, it's wonderful. I mean, it's precious to you when you get saved, when you have an experience with God like that. I tell you, that's what it's all about. That's what salvation is. And you must experience that. He makes you brand new on the inside when He saves you. And the Bible said in verse 11, this is the stone which was set in all of you builders, which has become the head of the corner. He said, the one you denied, the one that you rejected, you desired a murderer instead, but you said away with him, crucify him in the presence of Pilate. He said, that's what you did. He said, but the stone, which the Senate and all of you builders, you rejected the main stone, the rock, the true foundation of eternal life and of life itself. He said, that's Jesus. He's the stone and he's the one. denied him. I tell you, you deny a good foundation. The Bible said that house is going to fall and it's going to, I tell you, it's going to grind you. It's going to take everything away and you will have nothing to show for him. The Bible said here, that's exactly where it was a man that built his house upon the sand. He didn't build it upon the rock. He didn't build it upon the firm foundation, which is Christ and so when the storm came when problems came the Bible said great was the fall of that house But the one that built this house upon the rock when the floods came on the when the storms came it stood it had a firm Foundation and that's the only way that you're gonna get to heaven. That's the only way that you're going to have life is through the Lord Jesus Christ. You cannot reject him and think that you're going to have everything's going to go lovely with you and you're going to escape the damnation of hell. You will not. You must come through the door. You must come through Jesus. And he went on to say that in verse 12, neither is there salvation and any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." It's through the Lord Jesus. It's not through no one else. It's not through Mohammed Allah. It's not through any other person or man or religion that calls and says, this is the Christ or this is the Messiah. It's the Lord Jesus. He is the door that leads unto the sheepfold. And the Bible said if you try to come up any way, you're going to be tried, you're going to be dealt with, you're going to be like the thief and the robber, cast out in that day. And so today the Lord says come to Him. He's the door, He's the stone, He's the foundation, the tried foundation, the firm foundation. And I tell you, it'll stand it all. It'll stand it all. Thank God I'm saved. I'm eternally saved. And I got the witness on the inside. He sealed me with the Holy Spirit of God. And I know when I die, I'm going to heaven because what he did, Calvary. I tell you, that don't give me a license to go and sin and act like a fool. I tell you, I love the Lord. I have no desire to run with the world and the sins of the world. I tell you, I got something inside of me that's wonderful, that's precious, and I want to serve Him and I want to please Him. And when you get saved, that's the way it is. And I tell you, that's the way it is. I've got eternal life in you. If you're saved, you have eternal life. That's the only life he gives, is eternal life. It is the gift of life. That's what he gave, and he gave eternal life. What he does, he does it right the first time. And I'll tell you, I'm so glad to know that today, that I'm kept by the power of God, and I'm sealed by the Holy Spirit of God. The Bible said, until the day of redemption. I'm sealed until the day of redemption, until I get out of this body. I already witnessed the redemption of my first body, my life. I've already experienced it. Experience is what I'm saying, but one day I'm gonna experience fleshly. I'm gonna have a new body. I'm gonna have a brand new life because this body can inherit the kingdom of God. It's gonna go back to dust from which it came, but yet there's a better day coming. Thank God. Like my pastor's preached for years, he saved the best to last. and one day we're going home. But while I'm here, while we have time, when God says it's time to work, I'm ready to work. I'm ready to run. I'm ready to fight. I'm ready to do the Lord's will. God being my helper, I'm ready to press on. The Bible said press on and the song says press on for it won't be very long till we reach the land of song. And I must press on. We must press on, Christian friend, today. We must fight a good fight, and we must do the work, and we must get out and win them, because this coming of day was gonna be too late. And I believe we're living in the last stage. It's getting darker and darker in this world that we live in today. But one day is coming. He's coming after the church, those that are redeemed, those that are saved. And I hope and pray that you'll be in that number. I hope and pray you'll trust him as your Lord and Savior. and I hope you pray and confess your sins to God out of your heart, out of the depth of your soul today, and then make your peace call and relationship, but my time is quickly coming gone. I hope and pray that you'll call on and get somewhere by yourself and pray, but I love you and I thank God for what he gave us today. God bless you in Jesus' precious name, and amen.
