I was searching for a phone number around the Greenville area of this church where we purchased the tracks. The pastor of that church was Brother Raymond Blanton. He's an old man. And I think he was in his late 70s when he had a car accident in town and he didn't survive it. He eventually died from it. But as I was searching, they, if you ever, you've done this, but they give a list of all the churches, the Baptist churches in that Greenville area, Pickens County area. And I began going down through all those churches, Baptist churches, just Baptist churches. And I counted 10. Baptist churches in the Greenville-Pickens County area that had closed. Churches, some of them, 130 years old, 90-some years old, I think it was 140 years old, a bunch of them were 40, 50 years old, closed. It didn't say that Raymond Blanton's church was closed. But when I got talking to the young lady, and I couldn't hear her good enough as who she was. I thought it was Mrs. Blanton. She said, no, she's passed on about three years ago. And so they're carrying on the track ministry there. And she says, our church is closed. Man, it was heartbreaking for me just to hear so many churches just in that area, that's 13 churches just in that area around the Greenville area, Pickens County, that had closed. And some of them had a great history behind them, you could tell it. Certainly was a shocker, but this couple is carrying on the track ministry. And I've got them back there. All I got to do is stamp them now. And I'll get them out here quick as I possibly can. Unless you like to be a stamper, I'll set you up for it. But it was a real blessing to talk to them and see their brother Blanton wrote a lot of tracks. He was tough. I'm telling you, he was tough. And subjects you wouldn't believe on. Anything you wanted to name, any holiday, He rode a track against it. I'm telling you, he's tough. But he was good. I loved to hear him by talking to him on the phone. And he got tired of bringing preachers in that didn't preach like he did, didn't preach or confuse the people. That's all they did. And so he says, Brother Owen, he said, I don't let them in no more. That's what he told me. He said, I don't let them in no more. But I just wanted to inform you that. I have a statement here, and it kind of helps you understand, maybe me, maybe I don't present it like this man did, but you might say, Brother Owen, you say a lot about controversial things and things that, you know, why do you go on that subject about other people's doctrines? Let me read this to you, and try to just listen close to it. A guy wrote in a question, says, a number of us think you have given more than enough attention to the subject of Calvinism. That was his question. And he wrote a little bit more about it. You know, why don't you get on? Why don't you get to another subject? And so I know that you feel that way a lot. Brother Owen, why don't you just leave off of the easy believism or Calvinism you talk about a lot? Almost every message or something you put in about Calvinism. Let me read the answer. I appreciate and share your concern, lest too much attention be given to debating Calvinism. Now listen to his answer. But I am confronted by a dilemma. Almost everywhere I look in God's word, one's understanding of the passage depends, now you need to listen, entirely upon whether one is a Calvinist or not. Almost every passage you interpret depends on whether you're a Calvinist or not on how you interpret that verse. That's the same, when I said Calvinist, that's the same as, really, and I can't, I ought to do it one night, is just show the relationship between Calvinism and easy-believism. They're kissin' cousins, you might say. They're real close to one another. Calvinism, of course, being the founding doctrine, and easy believism, and a spinoff and a liberal kind of an interpretation of it. And there's a whole lot of statements. And that's why I wondered so often why these other preachers don't catch it. I said, why don't you catch that? That's a Calvinist statement. And they're preaching along just like when I'm preaching the Bible, they're preaching Calvinism. And so you understand. Uh, let me read out what he says. That's a fact I can't escape no matter how much I'd prefer to ignore it for biblical understanding. One must either accept or reject Calvinism one way or another. And so, you know, why, uh, I kind of. end up a lot of times doing what I felt that God wants me to do is earnestly contend for the faith, which is once given unto the saints. If you understand apostasy, you understand the word, what it means. It means somebody that's been close or involved in spiritual things and Christian things. but they've gone. You have to be close in order to apostatize. And so you've got a whole world of people that's involved in this great falling away. And if you understand that clearly, Don't fall away from the Word of God fall away from God and keep the same old-fashioned doctrines that the Bible gives in the beginning That were given unto our fathers earnestly contend for the faith, which was once delivered unto the Saints You can't apostatize and keep that original beliefs you wouldn't apostatize You stick with the truth It's kind of what Paul's dealing with in Timothy. And it's speaking of that very thing that in the last days, they'll not endure sound doctrine. So what are they going to want? What are they going to go after? They're going to go ask an apostated doctrines of the Bible. And can I say to you, that's exactly what easy believism is and exactly what Calvinism is. apostate doctrines. They're out of the Bible. They're not agreeing with the Bible. And so, like the man just said, whenever you look at the Bible, we're gonna have to make a choice. You're gonna have to rightly divide it. You're either gonna have to go along with a Calvinist or people that's not Calvinist. And you don't have to necessarily go with the people that's not Calvinist. All you have to do is go by the Bible. Let the Word of God be the final authority. Just preach the Bible. There's a lot of men that are not Calvinist, but they're way off on kooky, crazy type doctrines. Unbelievable. When they preach water baptism or salvation, their doctrines are way off. And it's one of the biggest churches in this town. I mean, it's a megachurch. And I mean thriving. And they teach baptismal regeneration, that you're saved through baptism. And there's other ones. There's many other churches of Christ around here. This one over here, this big one over here next door, kind of tries to hide their identity. I think they call it the Bridge Church or something, I don't know what they call it, this big one just going down here. And they really are, they really are a church of Christ, is what their doctrine is, they teach the church of Christ. And it's a doctrine that's not Calvinist, but it's not right either. And so I'm just trying to show you this falling away, if you accept that fact, that it is a falling away, you realize they've fallen away from the truth. They not only fall away from loving God, but they fall away from the truth. And that's hard to draw a line. I'm going to tell you, that's hard to draw a line. With the doctrines of our day, You start touching in that line and they're going to think all kinds of things about you. I told you I believe, I just believe God's people do what Jesus said, they will continue. They will continue in the truth. And so I believe that with all my heart, a true convert, a true convert will continue. I think this, what I said a moment ago about the churches, this closing, Wouldn't that not speak to your heart how far or how late it is, the hour of lateness, how far apostasy's going with that many churches closing that were once great, strong churches? Does that help you to see and understand the apostasy of our day and how things are just going? I think it should be a wake-up call. It should be something that, and I'd like to not preach my message tonight and just try to counsel you or talk to you about keeping this church open. Fight for it and be faithful to it and try to bring people into it and don't let it die out. Where are you gonna go? You're gonna go to a liberal church if you leave. That's what you're gonna do. You go to a church where they'll have a happy time and just sing for about 45 minutes and talk, not preach, talk. You got to keep the volume down. Not allowed to speak loud in those churches. It's soft and, you know, it's, oh, it's most of the time fables, stories that just entertain. Do your best to keep the doors of this church open. Fight for it, pray for it, attend it faithfully, support it, try to get people involved in it, and keep it going until Jesus comes. When the Son of Man returneth, will he find faith? God help us. Well, we're into 2 Corinthians chapter 7. I'm going to put in at verse number 9. Paul has wrote this letter, that same epistle he says in verse 8, hath made you sorry. So that's what he wrote to the church at Corinth. 1 Corinthians is that epistle he's speaking about. And he's talking about the effects of that epistle, how it dealt with them, how they had to deal with the leaven that was inside the church, and how that he's rejoicing. In verse nine, he's rejoicing that it was effective. The epistle was, the warning was on what they needed to do, how they need to remove that leaven out. how they need to repent they if you remember I dealt with it last week they were they were excited about it they were they weren't ashamed of it the fornication adultery was going on they had no problem with it they fellowshiped with this guy in church no problem he was living in immorality And Paul wrote him that letter and he said, I heard about it. And he said, I'm gonna tell you what to do. And that's what he wrote in that fifth chapter of 1 Corinthians. He wrote on what he told them they had to do. Well, they did what he commanded them to do. They repented of it. And this is what he's dealing with here. He's dealing with the doctrine of repentance. In verses 9, 10, and 11, it deals with the doctrine of repentance. Shows the difference in false repentance and true repentance. Now let me say, I'm gonna go do what I just read to you about a few moments ago. Try to show you the difference of what the doctrine of repentance is according to the Bible. and just try to show you how that it's been changed in our day. Repentance isn't the same as it was when it was first given. We, in Romans 2, follow with me, if you will, in the Bible, Romans 2. I'm gonna try to establish this doctrine that's so important. Romans two and verse number four. Or despises thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and long suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance. The goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance. I could spend the rest of the night exposing easy-believism on how they lead people to repentance. A person can't do that. A person can't do that. And I'll get done, I'll show you. Go to Acts 1730. I want to establish this doctrine, then we'll just preach a few moments on it. Acts 1730. and the times of this ignorance God winked at, but now commandeth all men, he commandeth, it's a mandate, it's a must, like, yes, you must be born again, he commandeth all men, all men everywhere to repent. You see in your Bible, that's the commandment of God. all men everywhere. Now just go a page over Acts 20 and 21, testifying both to the Jews and also the Greeks, repentance towards God, repentance towards God. You have a sorrow for your sin, You sinned against God and the repentance is towards God. It's God's law you violated. And so your repentance is towards him and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Look with me to Luke 13. Luke 13. Say, preacher, why are you going through this? Let me say this to you. I could bring you books of men that wrote for the Sword of the Lord. In fact, the man that was in charge of the Sword of the Lord for a number of years changed this old hymn book. This used to be, this was the Sword of the Lord hymn book, soul-stirring songs. And he took the doctrine of repentance out of the songs that's in this book. Took it out. Jack Hiles said that repentance is not a part of salvation. After salvation, you say you ought to repent, but it's not a part of salvation. If I don't say it in a little while, a number of times, let me say this. No person is ever saved. without true repentance. Easy Believism teaches, and you've heard this. You've heard it across this pulpit. You ain't heard it from me, but you heard it across this pulpit. You've heard this statement. Repentance is a change of mind. That's what the Easy Believism says. Repentance is a change of mind. That's not true. That's not true. Repentance works on this thing, and I'll try to show you that before I get done. Look at me. Look back at our text. Did I read that in Luke? No, I didn't. Let me read Luke 13, verses 2 through 5. Jesus answered and said, I'll never suppose you that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans because they suffered such things. I tell you, nay, but except you repent, you shall all likewise perish. Or those 18 upon whom the tower of Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, nay. But except you repent, you shall all likewise perish. Jesus came preaching repentance. Jesus said you must repent, repent or perish. And so it's a Bible doctrine that you'll find through the Word of God. And let me say this, it is, it is essential, it is that one of the most important doctrines you ever understood, a person is not going to get born again on a earthly type of sorrow. Let's go back to our text. 2 Corinthians 7, verse number 10. For godly sorrow worketh, godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation. I shouldn't have to teach you or say one more thing. A person is not gonna be saved unless they have true repentance. Let me read again. Notice it says godly. It's got to be godly sorrow. It can't be anything of man. It has to be a SORROW. It has to be a CONTRITION. It has to be a BREAKING DOWN. It has to be a CONVICTION by God. GODLY SORROW WORKETH REPENTANCE. Not man. Not man stand there telling you, look at it, did you ever lie? Well, sure. All men lie. till they get saved then they best quit it but I'm saying to you that's not salvation just somebody telling you about some sin you committed and you feeling guilty about it you're embarrassed about it it troubles you you're you're sad or you're broken down because you got caught and you're embarrassed and you thought you had a good reputation and my you can't believe that people would think that about you Sure, that'll break you down to cry, but it's not salvation. It's gotta be a godly sorrow will only produce true salvation. Notice what it says. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation, not to be repented of. godly sorrow will break you from the love of sin it will it will deal with you in a way that you will stop it if we don't if we don't stop the sin we've not repented of the sin if you repent of the sin you'll stop it Is that clear in there? Is that what it says? It says, for godly sorrow work and repentance to salvation not to be repented of. But now he tells you now the other part, the sorrow, but the sorrow of the world worketh death. Okay. Godly sorrow will cause you to be saved, truly saved, born again. transformed changed the new creature shall we continue with sin that grace may abound no god forbid can't do that that's bible teaches contrary to that i'm saying to the christian is not a sinner they love to preach that and people love to hear it so that makes them so they're not feel guilty Sure we're all sinners. No, that's not true. You want people, you want people to call you a sinner? Christ Jesus came in this world to do what? To save sinners. He came to save sinners. He came to rescue sinners. He came to change sinners. He came to transform them. He came to lift them out of sin. That's what he came for to do. Amen. Amen. That's exactly what he came to do. You'll notice the Bible teaches that repentance is necessary for salvation. It don't matter. Now, honestly, you don't know. I need to fight for this because in this day, they have destroyed this doctrine of repentance. They have literally transformed it, changed it into something that's not really necessary. All you've got to do is what? Believe. Just believe. You can't believe without repenting. You can't believe unless you believe that God has dealt with you and God has showed you a sinner. Showed you where you're going. Showed you how wicked you are in his sight. Every child needs to hear and know what God thinks of them. How God looks at them. How when they sin he's angry with them. Oh, creature. God don't put children in hell. Well, I guess if I was, no, I guess even the Calvinists don't even believe that. Trying to figure where she's set. Somewhere on that seat where her and Peggy sat, little, I'd say about a nine or 10-year-old blonde girl, pretty girl. There was 120 students in here. High school was over here. I said that morning I was going to preach, how many of you kids believe Jesus loves you? Every kid raised their hand except that little blonde girl sitting right there. I couldn't say nothing to her. What could I say in front of all that group? You know, it just embarrassed her more. But she sat there with her hands down. She didn't know that Jesus loved her. like to ruin me. I had a hard time preaching that morning. See, that little girl wasn't sure Jesus loved her. Wicked doctrines. And they're the ones that's instituted this doctrine. You say, why? How did they do it? The doctrine of Calvinism teaches that repentance is done. When the Bible says, God giveth you repentance, you'll read that in the Bible, God giveth you repentance. God gives you the chance, the opportunity to repent. God gives you the conviction to repent, but you must repent or perish. He don't know you're repenting. Calvinist teaches that He's the one who did it. God's the one that caused it. God's the one who brought you through it. I'm saying it's a wicked, wicked, wicked doctrine of the Calvinist. Men are teaching, doctrines. That man I was trying to get the name of, Curtis Hudson, was one that changed the songbook, was the head of the Sword of the Lord for a number of years. One of the best, one of the best joke tellers I've ever heard. He could sit and tell stories and make you laugh, make you laugh, make you laugh, make you go to hell. I wonder how many will laugh at Curtis Hudson and hell. See, hell's not a reality to people. They've just about literally blotted it out as obsolete doctrine. But it is true. It is true. They preach that repentance is just a simple change of mind. You just rethink about yourself. You think that you maybe need to change your ways. No, that's not repentance. It's paramount view today that salvation, that repentance is found here in the text, that the Bible is the ultimate authority regardless what who says what. If you get that in your mind, it'll help you. to keep you from somebody leading you into a false doctrine. Let me say this and you need to listen. Notice what it says here. It says in verse 10, but the sorrow of the world worketh death. Repentance is a killer. Now listen to me carefully. Not physically. Probably you've made in your lifetime, you've made a false profession and it didn't kill you physically. but an effective kind of spiritual death. When people make a false profession, hope you listen, when people make a false profession, pride keeps them from making a true profession. Listen to me, the Holy Spirit can't even convict them of their being lost. You've heard them say, I did that. I repented. I told God I was sorry. But it didn't, you didn't mean it. It didn't come from God. It didn't crush you. It didn't give you contrition. It didn't break you. Conviction by God is a breaking. It's a way of God just breaking your will, breaking you down. It's a sorrow, a contrition of the heart. Blessed are the contrite heart. I'll show you that in a moment. I'm saying to you, this, this, worldly sorrow, worldly, worldly, all involved in the world, loving the world, more concerned about what the world thinks about you and what God thinks about you. People don't want to be embarrassed. They'll go to hell to keep from being embarrassed. They will. I remember Dr. Bob Gray telling the story of his wife. I've been at his church. I heard him preach. He had a big balcony up here. He could hold probably almost 2,000 people in that thing. He said he was preaching hard one morning, and lo and behold, who came to the altar but his wife? And that monster searched thousands of people in there. She's down there weeping. Everybody thought she was praying for other people. He said something to her. And she said, honey, I love you. But she said, I'm not going to let you or anybody else keep me from getting saved. I was lost. I'm telling you, most people, most people will miss heaven because of worldly sorrow. They can't stand the pressure the world puts on them. Would you answer me? Would it bother you if people thought you were evil, you were wicked, you were vile, that you were hellbound? Would you try to cover yourself some way? Make a quick, easy profession and cover my character up? My reputation, gotta save my reputation, gotta save myself. regardless of where I go, regardless of what happens. It's earthly sorrow. It's man-made. Notice earthly sorrow. God's not involved in it whatsoever. Hello? God's not involved in it whatsoever. It's earthly sorrow, but the sorrow of the world worketh death. It ruins you. Millions of people will go to hell by making an earthly sorrow experience. Deep down, they're troubled in their soul. They just know they're not right. but what's people gonna say if I go? What are they gonna think of me? I told people for the last 10 years I was saved. What are they gonna think of me? What did Jesus say? If a person saveth their life, they lose it. Is that what it says? Is that what it says? Save their life. Let me close with this. True repentance after the godly manner is godly sorrow. The word sorrow means to be broken. It means to be humbled down. It means that a person is just pressed down in conviction. It's a sorrow towards God for the way you've violated his word, the way you've ignored him, the way that you went on through life that he was giving you daily. We move, live and move and have this being in him. The only reason, the only reason you see a dawning of another day is because of his mercy, we're not consumed. Only reason, I don't care how many vitamins you take, I don't know how much exercise, I don't care what you do, the only reason you wake up tomorrow morning is because of God's mercy. That song came to me, I guess, when I was studying. Mercy, mercy, God's love and mercy. Remember the Shulers used to sing that? Oh, I loved that song. If we had justice, we'd surely be lost, that song said. I'm saying to you, true repentance brings godly sorrow. The Holy Spirit of God, I'm gonna go quick. The Holy Spirit of God in John 16, eight, Jesus said, when he has come, he will, Reprove. Reprove this world of sin. That is to convict and convince. Convict and convince. It's not man. I can't do that. I can scream all I want to about all the sin you might be committing, but I can't give it that convincing punch. It takes the Holy Ghost of God, godly sorrow, God, the Holy Ghost, convicts, convinces us of sin. I'm saying it speaks of a person's repentance towards God. Look with me to Psalm 51. I love this chapter. They misuse it, but it's a great chapter. Psalms 51. We'll just use one verse. Psalms 51 and verse number 17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit and a broken and a contrite heart, not head, heart. Salvation Let me just say before I finish this reading is salvation. Jesus come to save sinners. He come to save is the word souls, right? Save their soul. Is that what it used to be? Save their soul. Save their heart. Save their emotions, save their will, save their soul. When he doesn't, people brag about how they still got a will, they don't know God. I wouldn't brag, I would not brag, I've got a will. Every time I brag, I got the will. I lied about what I prayed. Thy will. be done. Yeah, I got a will. What are you doing with it? Telling God what to do? Sacrifice God or a broken spirit and a broken and a contrite heart. Oh God, thou wilt not despise. He won't turn it away. You got a broken and a contrite spirit, a broken heart. Turn with me to Isaiah 57. Isaiah 57, I'll just read one verse, 15. For thus saith the High and Lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy. I've tried, I've got this thing poorly memorized, but I love it when I get down to that thing, it says, whose name is holy. I dwell in a high and holy place with him. You ought to underline that, with him. Here's the people that God dwells with, the high and holy one. That is of a contrite and a humble spirit, That's the ones I dwell with, the contrite of the humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, to revive the heart of the contrite one. Look at James 4. I'm trying to hurry, I'll be done. James 4, verse 6, but he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners. Purify your hearts, ye double-minded. Be afflicted and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to happiness. Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and he shall Lift you up. You read it. It'll take that brokenness, that contrition, that sorrow. 1 Peter 5 and verses 5 and 6. Likewise, you younger, submit yourself to the elder, yea, in all Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed, be clothed with humility, for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, unto the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Hebrews 10, and I close. Hebrews 10. Verse 19, having therefore brother boldness to enter into the holiest of by the blood of Jesus. These verses you ought to underline by a new and living way. This is a New Testament type of salvation, a new and living way, a new and living way. I didn't write it. It's reading the Bible. a new and living way which he hath consecrated for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh. And having a high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart and full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for he is faithful that promised." I'm saying to you, godly sorrow will get you to heaven. Earthly sorrow will put you in hell. Ought to be a place and a time that the Spirit of God dealt with your life. in such a way that he just broke your will, broke your heart. He gave you a salvation. See, it's from the heart. He transformed your heart. And so he took the love of the world out of you and put the love of God in you. That's a changed heart. A change from loving the things of the world, loving self, to where you love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, with all your strength. That's what salvation does. Gives you, as he said, a new heart. New one. Brand new one. Could change you. Worldly sorrow will just keep people from knowing what true life in Christ is all about. It'll deceive. It'll destroy the soul. It'll convince people that they've done something. Would you think with me just to answer this woman? If you didn't hardly know much about the Bible, I mean, most of you know quite a bit about the Bible now. But if you didn't know nothing, just try this for a minute. And somebody come up to you, like the easy believers, some soul winners, and they told you, do you believe the Bible? You believe it says this, you believe it says this, you believe it says this, one, two, three. Well, yeah, yeah, it's Bible, and the Bible wouldn't lie. Yeah, I believe that. The Bible says here, if you'll just believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, thou shalt be saved. Is that what the Bible says? That's what it says, that's what it says right there, don't it? Now let me ask you the hard question. If you did that, and back there that soul winner told you, if you believe the Bible, then the Bible says you're saved. Okay, we're down the road now. 10, 15 years of hearing that stuff. Would you believe somebody if they said, that's not salvation? No. Man, all these years I thought I was saved. Least I believe, the man told me I saved. How many of you think will go forward and give a public testimony, I was deceived. Can I ask you a question? Don't you think that's one of the hardest things to do, is admit that you were deceived? You were made a fool of? Somebody lied to you, and you swallowed it hook, line, and sinker? And... No. They're not gonna do it. Shall we stand? Not gonna do it. Sooner go to hell than face people over that. You see, these false doctrine has to have supported false doctrines. And so you've got a doctrine that as soon as you said, yes, I'm saved, the Holy Spirit of God enters you. That is a Bible truth to a person that truly repented and we're saying that's the Bible truth But if you believe you got the Holy Spirit of God and you wasn't even saved The man told you was and a man knew his Bible the man went to church man been saved a long time the man said you're saved and Well, that must have been the Spirit of God telling him. Do you know most people claim to know the Holy Spirit of God and never hear from Him, never talk to Him, never have Him speak to their heart, never commune with you, never just walk along with you? He's saying it. He walks with me and talks to me and tells me. Do you have that relationship? The sweet relationship with the Holy Spirit of God? You just bow your head. Lord, I need help. Lord, I messed up back here. You know, there's times when I've said that, And almost immediately, the chorus would come to my mind, I just heard from heaven and it's all right now. I've had God speak to me over and over and over and over again, day after, I'm not bragging. I'm just enjoying the fellowship with the Holy Spirit of God. There's nothing compares me. The Bible calls it a walk in the spirit. You'll not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Walk in the Spirit. You'll know for sure you're standing. He's a comforter. A comforter is a reassurer. He assures you, nothing assures you better. And the comfort of the Holy Spirit of God saying, you're one, you belong. I love you. Amen. Amen. Believe this book. Don't believe men. Believe this book. All these other emotions, feelings, teachings, doctrines, anybody can do it. Divide the Word of God. Let the Word of God dwell in you richly. Father, in Jesus' name, thank you. Thank you for helping us and understanding the truth. Thank you for the corrections. Thank you for the wisdom. Thank you for the witness. His spirit, you said, witnessing to our spirit. I treasure that. And I believe that. Yea, blessed be the Lord, I have experienced that. Thank you. His spirit bearing witness. May they never be satisfied until they hear that inner voice saying, you can talk to him now. He's your father. Speak to our hearts. Direct our ways. Deliver us from any kind of deception whatsoever. May we know the truth. And as you promised, the truth set us free. Help Amber. I don't know what's going on. I pray touch her body. Touch Kathy, Jimmy. Be with them all, I pray. In Jesus' name, amen, amen. You may be dismissed.
