LAST WEEK WE TALKED A LITTLE ABOUT FRIENDS....
AND TO BE CAREFUL WHO YOU LET IN YOUR CIRCLE?
WE TALKED ABOUT HOW.....
TIMES OF TROUBLE TEND TO REVEAL WHO YOUR FRIENDS REALLY ARE
OH COME ON...
JESUS HAD 12…MOST OF THE TIME
ONLY 3 AT OTHER TIMES
AND THEY ALL ABANDONED HIM IN HIS DAY OF TROUBLE
ANYBODY EVER HAD FRIENDS LIKE THAT?
OH COME ON...
WE DEFINED WHAT AN ENEMY IS....
ANYONE WHO WANTS TO STRENGTHEN A WEAKNESS IN YOUR LIFE THAT GOD DESIRES TO REMOVE
FRIENDS ARE NOT EASY TO FIND....
BUT WHEN YOU FIND ONE
YOU’LL KNOW IT
BECAUSE THEY WON’T LET YOU FAIL OVER A “GOOD TIME”
EVERYBODY CAN ENJOY AND MAY APPRECIATE YOUR GIFTS AND TALENTS
NOT EVERYONE CAN HANDLE YOU
NOT EVERYONE CAN COMMIT TO BEING YOUR FRIEND IN TIMES OF TROUBLE
OH COME ON SOMEBODY....
WE KNOW THAT DOORS AND ENEMIES GO TOGETHER
9 For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
SO.....WE’VE TALKED ABOUT....
A DOOR IS OPENING
GOD’S IN CHARGE OF IT
IT HAS A SHELF LIFE
DOORS DON’T ALWAYS LOOK LIKE DOORS.....SO BE LOOKING
BE PREPARED FOR WHEN IT COMES....BECAUSE IT HAS A SHELF LIFE
THERE IS A GREAT AND EFFECTIVE DOOR
AND THERE ARE MANY ADVERSARIES
....OPEN IN PRAYER.....
I HAVE TAKEN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS ...
TO TRY AND SHIFT OUR PERSPECTIVE OF TROUBLE
TO SHIFT THE WAY WE LOOK AT DIFFICULTY IN OUR LIVES
IT IS VERY COMMON FOR US TO LOOK AT...
ADVERSITY
ENEMIES
ADVERSARIES
IT’S VERY COMMON FOR US TO LOOK AT THOSE.....
AS MOMENTS WHERE GOD HAS ABANDONED US
OH COME ON SOMEBODY....
YOU FEEL ISOLATED
YOU FEEL ALONE
YOUR DRAINED
YOUR FOCUS IS BROKEN
IT’S A HEADACHE
IT’S AN AGGRAVATION TO YOU
IT’S AN ADVERSARY
THE THING WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS...
ADVERSARIES ANNOUNCE DOORS
ENEMIES ANNOUNCE DOORS
THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY
AND THERE IS AN ENEMY TO THAT OPPORTUNITY
AND THEY COME TOGETHER
…YOU WITH ME....
UNDERSTAND THIS...
YOU CAN NOT BE AN EXCEPTIONAL PERSON
AND HAVE ORDINARY BATTLES
UNUSUAL PEOPLE..
HAVE UNUSUAL STRUGGLES
UNCOMMON PEOPLE
HAVE UNCOMMON STRUGGLES
OH MY LORD....
YOU CAN’T DO EXCEPTIONAL THINGS
AND GET THERE THROUGH ORDINARY
I LOVE WHAT DAVE RAMSEY SAYS...
“IF YOU WANT TO LIVE LIKE NO ONE ELSE, YOU GOTTA LIVE LIKE NO ONE ELSE”!
MAN THATS GOOD....
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU’VE NEVER HAD
YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING YOU’VE NEVER DONE
IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE BLESSINGS OF GOD IN A WAY.....YOU NEVER HAVE
YOUR GONNA HAVE TO GO THROUGH SOME THINGS YOU’VE NEVER GONE THROUGH
OH COME ON....
EXTRAORDINARY BATTLES, CREATE EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE
SO IF YOU HAVE A BIG DOOR…THEN...
YOU GOT A BIG ENEMY TO PUSH THROUGH
TO GET TO BREAKTHROUGH
IF IT’S AN ORDINARY DOOR
THEN YOU GOT AN ORDINARY FIGHT ON YOUR HANDS
YOU DON’T GET THE BIG DOORS WITH THE LITTLE ENEMIES
ARE YOU UNDERSTANDING???
WHEN DAVID WAS TRYING TO PROTECT SHEEP
HE HAD TO FIGHT ANIMALS
BUT WHEN HE WAS GOING TO BE THE KING OVER A NATION
WHOA…LOOK OUT
A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL
10 LEVELS…COME ON
NOW HE HAS TO GRADUATE FROM THROWING ROCKS AT ANIMALS
TO A HIGHLY TRAINED MILITARY MACHINE THAT HAPPENS TO BE 10 FEET TALL
BECAUSE..... IF YOUR GONNA BE KING...
IF YOUR GONNA WALK THROUGH THAT DOOR
THEN YOUR GONNA HAVE TO FIGHT GOLIATH TO GET THROUGH IT
ENEMIES CREATE MOVEMENT
OH COME ON....
IT HAS BEEN SAID...
IT’S YOUR FRIENDS WHO COMFORT YOU
YOU FAMILY WHO EMBARRASSES YOU
AND YOU ENEMIES WHO PROMOTE YOU
OH COME ON...
CAN I GET AN AMEN?
GOD SAYS TO THE APOSTLE PAUL...
I’M GIVEN YOU AN OPEN DOOR
BUT STANDING IN FRONT OF IT
IS AN ENEMY OF YOUR ASSIGNMENT
HE SAID....
HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY
AND HERE IS AN ENEMY OF YOUR OPPORTUNITY
STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT
UNDERSTAND THIS....
IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE ENEMY
THEN, YOU CAN CEASE THE OPPORTUNITY THAT’S IN FRONT OF YOU
IT’S LIKE THIS...
DAVID IS A 12 YEAR OLD BOY
HE HAS HAS BEEN ANOINTED…KING
HE’S BEEN ANOINTED KING…IN PRIVATE
THE PROPHET SAMUEL WENT TO DAVID’S FATHERS HOUSE
AND DAVID WAS SO REJECTED AND DISRESPECTED
THAT WHEN SAMUEL SAID....”BRING ALL YOUR BOYS IN HERE”
BECAUSE GOD TOLD ME THAT ONE OF YOUR BOYS IS GOING TO BE KING
DAVID WASN’T EVEN INVITED INTO THE HOUSE
HE’S 12 YEARS OLD AND HE’S OUTSIDE TENDING TO SHEEP
UNDERSTAND THIS....
THE OIL ALWAYS FALLS ON THE BUSY
IT NEVER FALLS ON THE SLOTHFUL
EVERYBODY IS IN THE HOUSE AND RESTING
GUESS WHAT???
THE OIL DOESN’T HIT THEM
BUT THE ONE WHO WAS OUT MAKING IT HAPPEN.....
THE OIL FELL
I’LL JUST LEAVE THAT THERE…LOL
SO DAVID IS OUT TENDING TO SHEEP
TENDING TO THE FAMILY BUSINESS
HE DON’T GET INVITED TO THE LINEUP
THEN SAMUEL SAYS....”GO AND GET HIM”
AND ALL THE SUDDEN THE OIL BEGINS TO MOVE
AND HE POURS THE OIL ON HIS HEAD
AND ANOINTS DAVID
MY LORD…I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD HELP ME THIS MORNING....
I SAID THE KID IS 12 YEARS OLD.....
( DOESN’T MATTER WHO YOUR ARE, WHERE YOU ARE....ETC)(EXPOUND)
OK.....
SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN...
YOUR STANDING THERE WITH THE ANOINTING OIL ALL OVER YOU
AND YOU GOTTA GO BACK TO SHEEP?
YOU GOT A KINGS ANOINTING
AND A SHEPHERDS JOB!!!
OH MY LORD......
THERE IS SOME OF YOU WHO HAVE A KINGLY AND PRIESTLY ANOINTING
BUT YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR DOING A COMMON JOB
CAN I TELL YOU....
JUST HOLD ON…LET THE OIL MOVE
STAY FAITHFUL IN THE SMALL THINGS
THE ANOINTING WILL TAKE YOU WHERE IT’S SUPPOSED TO TAKE YOU
TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR.....THE OIL WILL MOVE YOU
SO, DAVID IS 12 YEARS OLD
HE GOES BACK TO TENDING SHEEP
HIS BROTHERS ARE IN BATTLE
THE PHILISTINES ARE AMONG THEM
GOLIATH STANDS IN THE VALLEY
10 FOOT TALL MILITARY TRAINED GIANT
AND HE’S MOCKING THE ARMIES OF GOD
DAVID SHOWS UP WITH CHEESE FOR HIS BROTHERS
AND SAYS...
“WHO IS THIS GUY AND WHY DO YOU LET HIM TALK TO YALL LIKE THAT”
I LOVE DAVD…LOL
12 YEARS OLD...
“WHO DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS”
LONG STORY SHORT....
DAVID GOES DOWN IN THE VALLEY
TAKES GOLIATH DOWN WITH A SLING AND A ROCK
CUTS OFF HIS HEAD
BECAUSE THE HEAD IS THE SYMBOL OF AUTHORITY
HE CUT THE SYMBOL OF PHILISTINE AUTHORITY OVER THE PEOPLE OF GOD
THAT NIGHT....THEY PUT HIM ON THEIR SHOULDERS
AND WALK HIM DOWN THROUGH THE STREETS OF JERUSALEM
AND HE’S A NATIONAL HERO
THAT MORNING HE WAS DELIVERING CHEESE
I WOULD SAY....
GOLIATH WAS THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF A DOOR
THAT MORNING NOBODY KNEW WHO HE WAS
THAT NIGHT HE’S GOING THROUGH THE CAPITAL CITY A NATIONAL HERO
WHAT STOOD BETWEEN HIM TENDING TO SHEEP AND HIS A PURPOSE?
THE ENEMY…GOLIATH
OH MY LORD...
I’M TELLING YOU YOUR ONLY ONE OR TWO ENEMIES AWAY
FROM GOD PULLING FROM THE BACKGROUND
AND PUTTING YOU IN THE FOREFRONT
IF YOU WILL BE DILIGENT TO FIGHT THESE BATTLES
IF YOU’LL STAY THE COURSE AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD
THE OIL WILL MOVE YOU WHERE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
ENEMIES BRING MOVEMENT....
BEHOLD, THERE IS A GREAT DOOR FOR YOU…BUT
THERE ARE MANY ADVERSARIES
ROMANS 8:28. NOW....
I’M GOING TO BREAK DOWN THE MOST QUOTED SCRIPTURE
PROBABLY IN THE BIBLE
OUTSIDE OF JOHN 3:16.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
THIS SCRIPTURE IS USUALLY…
A CHRISTIAN LEADER
A PASTOR
WHO WALKS INTO A SITUATION
WHERE THE ROOM IS FILLED WITH TRAUMA, DISAPPOINTMENT, SICKNESS, LOSS
AND HE THROWS THIS SCRIPTURE OUT THERE
HOPING THAT IS WILL STICK
THIS IS THE SCRIPTURE WE THROW OUT WHEN....
WE DON’T HAVE ANSWERS
AND IT BECOMES A RELIGIOUS CURE ALL
WITHOUT ANYONE EVER BREAKING IT DOWN AND TELLING US WHAT IT MEANS
I WANT TO ATTEMPT TO SHOW YOU HOW...
THIS PLAYS INTO THIS SUBJECT OF DOORS
FOLLOW ME.....
YOUR SITTING THERE
THERE IS AN ADVERSARY IN FRONT OF YOUR DOOR
AND BOOM, ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE
AND YOUR AT THE ALTAR....CRYING
“GOD WHY HAVE YOU LEFT ME?”
OH COME ON....CHANGE YOUR THINKING
YOUR OPPORTUNITY IS UPON YOU....
WHEN THE ENEMY SHOWED UP
THE DOOR SHOWED UP
HE’S NOT ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE DOOR
HE’S ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE DOOR
THE OPPORTUNITY IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ADVERSITY
SO, NOW ALL HELL HAS BROKEN LOOSE
AND YOUR DEALING WITH ALL THIS STUFF
THEN THE PREACHER GETS UP AND SAY....
ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE THAT LOVE GOD
AND YOUR LIKE....I JUST WANT TO PUT HIM IN A HEAD LOCK AND WATCH HIM GO TO SLEEP
OH COME ON....
I’M SITTING OUT HERE HAVING THE LIFE SQUEEZED OUT OF ME
AND HE’S TALKING ABOUT…ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD
AND YOUR LIKE....I JUST WANNA PUNCH HIM......LOL
HE DIDN’T SAY ALL THINGS WERE GOOD....
HE SAID ALL THING WORK
THAT IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE
THE WORD “WORK” MEANS...
TO LABOR IN CONJUNCTION WITH
OR IN COOPERATION WITH
JEREMIAH 29:11 SAYS
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
I HAVE PLANS FOR GOOD
THEY BRING HOPE
AND THEY BRING A FUTURE
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE....GOOD
SO GOD HAS A PLAN FOR MY LIFE...
I’VE COME UP ON UNEXPECTED RESISTANCE
FEELS LIKE GOD HAS LEFT
FEELS LIKE GOD IS NOWHERE AROUND
MY RESOURCES ARE BEING DRAINED
PEOPLE HAVE LEFT ME
I’M EXPERIENCING LOSS IN MANY CATEGORIES
NOT UNDERSTANDING THAT....
LISTEN TO ME.....
ALL THINGS HAVE BEEN PUT ON GODS PAYROLL
TO WORK IN COOPERATION WITH
MY PURPOSE
SO NOW....
YOU HAVE GOT TO CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT DIFFICULTY
OH MY LORD…IS ANYBODY HEARING ME
GOD HAS EMPLOYED THE DIFFICULTY
AND PUT IT ON HEAVENS PAYROLL
AND HEAVEN IS USING YOUR DIFFICULTY
SO THAT GOD CAN PIECE TOGETHER THE PLAN
I KNOW YOU DON’T THINK SO BUT...
THE ADVERSARY IS A PART OF THE PLAN
OH MY LORD...
IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE ADVERSARY...
YOU DON’T HAVE THE DOOR
JUDAS WAS A PART OF THE PLAN....
OH COME ON SOMEBODY..
WE SEE, JESUS CALLED JUDAS FRIEND
IT MAY HAVE BEEN CONFUSING TO JUDAS
BUT JESUS KNEW THAT THE BETRAYAL OF JUDAS
WAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DOOR
JUDAS WASN’T THE ENEMY OF JESUS
THE ROMAN GOVERNMENT, PHARISEES, SADUCEES, RELIGIOUS LEADERS
THEY WERE THE ENEMY
JUDAS WAS A LOVER OF MONEY
JUDAS WAS NECESSARY FOR THE PLAN OF GOD
THIS IS WHY HE WAS WELCOMED BY JESUS
THE BIBLE SAYS...
CONSIDER IT PURE JOY, WHEN YOU GO THROUGH TRIALS OF ALL KINDS.
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
SOUNDS CRAZY, RIGHT?
BUT THE BIBLE SAYS...
WHEN YOU SEE YOUR TRIALS BREAKING OUT
HE SAID THATS WHEN YOU NEED TO CONSIDER IT PURE JOY
HE SAID BECAUSE TRIALS DO NOT COME ALONE
THEY ARE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO A DOOR
TRIALS COME AND BRING OPPORTUNITY
SO DON’T BE BITTER AND ANGRY ABOUT IT
BUY JOY SHOULD LEAP UP ON THE INSIDE OF YOU
BECAUSE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT...
GOD IS ABOUT TO ANNOUNCE A NEW DOOR IN MY LIFE
SAMSON...
THE BIBLE SAID...
SAMSON KILLED MORE IN HIS DEATH
THAN HE DID IN EVERY YEAR OF HIS LIFE COMBINED
SO DELILAH DID NOT RESIST GOD’S PLAN
SHE WAS THE ONLY WAY TO GET SAMSON IN THE TEMPLE
DELILAH WORKED IN CONJUNCTION WITH GODS PLAN
MAYBE NOT ON PURPOSE…BUT
ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER
OH COME ON SOMEBODY.....
LET ME GIVE YOU ANOTHER EXAMPLE...
THIS IS FUNNY
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
IT SAYS....
IF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE HAD KNOWN
THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED THE LORD
THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GETTING RID OF HIM
IF WE KILL HIM, THEN WERE GETTING RID OF HIM
AND THIS CHAOS CALLED THE KINGDOM CAN BE STOPPED
....LOL....
THEY HAD NO IDEA THAT THE PLAN OF GOD
WAS FOR HIM TO DIE
AND SO…THEY ARE SITTING THERE AND SAYING
WE ARE GOING TO RESIST YOU
AND WERE GOING TO TAKE YOUR LIFE
NOT UNDERSTANDING THAT...
IT IS HIM DYING AND BEING RAISED FROM THE DEAD
OH COME ON SOMEBODY....
THEY KILLED ONE SON
AND WHEN HE CAME UP OUT OF THE GRAVE
NOW THERE ARE MILLIONS OF SONS AND DAUGHTERS ALL OVER THE WORLD
SO THEY DIDN’T KNOW WHEN THEY WERE KILLING HIM
THEY WERE MULTIPLYING HIM
OH MY LORD....
REMEMBER THIS...
THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE PERSECUTING YOU
AND THOSE WHO ARE HARMING YOU
THE MORE THEY PRESS
YOU JUST KEEP MULTIPLYING AND GROWING
THEY ARE WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH GOD’S PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU JUST....CONSIDER IT PURE JOY
REAL QUICK...
HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO BE BLESSED???
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
HOW MANY WANT TO BE BLESSED??? LOL
BACK TO VERSE 10
PERSECUTED…MEANS
TO TAKE FLIGHT OR CAUSE TO RUN
LISTEN TO THIS...
YOU ARE IN THE STATE OF BEING BLESSED BY GOD
WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE YOU RUN FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE
RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE MEANS
GOD’S DIVINE APPROVAL
BLESSED ARE YOU
WHEN THEY ARE HATING ON YOU
BECAUSE YOU HAVE GOD’S APPROVAL
DIVINE APPROVAL MEANS
FAVOR
FAVOR MEANS....UNEARNED
NO REASON OR RATIONALE
GOD DID IT BECAUSE HE WANTED TO
THE REASON PEOPLE HATE ON YOU BECAUSE OF FAVOR
FAVOR USUALLY GIVES YOU WHAT THEY ARE LABORING FOR
SO THEY ARE HAVING TO WORK FOR IT
WHILE GOD IS JUST HANDING IT TO YOU
AND THAT GETS ON THEIR NERVES
OH COME ON SOMEBODY.....
YOUR ENEMY IS AGITATED BECAUSE OF GOD’S FAVOR ON YOUR LIFE
I’M GOD’S SON
I KNOW IT’S FRUSTRATING TO YOU
BUT I’M LIKE JOSEPH
JUST WEARING MY COAT THAT MY DADDY GAVE TO ME
SO WHEN GOD DROPS BLESSINGS IN MY LAP
DON’T BE A HATER
I’M JUST WEARING MY COAT
AND BY THE WAY…IF YOU CAN CLAP OVER MY BLESSING
GUESS WHAT....GOD WILL TURN AROUND AND BLESS YOU
BECAUSE WHEN YOU LEARN HOW TO CLAP OVER SOMEBODY ELSES BREAKTHROUGH
GOD WILL TURN AROUND
AND SEND ONE TO YOUR HOUSE
CAN I GET AN AMEN SOMEBODY
.....WORSHIP TEAM JOIN ME......
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
UNDERSTAND THIS...
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
AND THE PLACE OF HEAVEN
MOST PREACHER PREACH THEM AS ONE IN THE SAME
IT DIDN’T SAY
BLESSED ARE YOU BECAUSE THEY MAKE YOU WANT TO RUN
AND YOU GOT GOD’S DIVINE APPROVAL
AND GOD’S GONNA LET YOU GO TO HEAVEN
YOU WILL GO TO HEAVEN
BUT THATS NOT WHAT THAT IS SAYING
IT SAYS FOR “THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM”
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS NOT HEAVEN.....
HANG WITH ME...
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF A KING
YOUR TAKING ABOUT THE EXTENSION OF HIS RULE
THATS WHY JESUS SAID…PRAY LIKE THIS
THAT MY KINGDOM WOULD COME AND MY WILL WOULD BE DONE
EXTENDED ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN
SO KINGDOM IS AN EXTENSION
FOR THEIRS IS THE EXTENSION OF HEAVEN
OH MY LORD…THATS GOOD
LET FIND OUT WHAT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS....
17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
RIGHTEOUSNESS - DIVINE APPROVAL
PEACE - NOTHING MISSING, NOTHING BROKEN
PEACE ACTUALLY MEANS....
THE STATE OF BEING WHOLE
JOY - TO LEAP OR JUMP AS A RESULT OF THE GOODNESS OF GOD
FOR THE KINGDOM IS GOD’S DIVINE APPROVAL
LIVING LIFE WITH NOTHING MISSING AND NOTHING BROKEN
AND PEOPLE WHO DON’T MIND LEAPING BECAUSE OF THE GOODNESS OF GOD IN THEIR LIFE
THIS STUFF THAT GOING ON ISN’T A RESULT OF WHAT AROUND ME
IT IS WHAT’S IN ME
IS THERE ANYBODY IN THIS PLACE THAT ISN’T NOT EMBARRASSED TO LEAP WITH JOY
FOR WHAT GOD HAS DONE IN YOUR LIFE
OH COME ON....
....STAND TO YOUR FEET.....
CAN WE JUST TAKE A MINUTE AND GIVE GOD A PRAISE
SOME OF YOU IN HERE HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOME BATTLES
YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH HELL AND BACK
YOU BETTER GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE
GOD HAS GIVEN US THE GARMENT OF PRAISE FOR THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS IN YOUR LIFE
SOMEBODY GIVE THE LORD A SHOUT OF PRAISE....
(CALM THE ATMOSPHERE)
OH COME ON ALL OVER THIS HOUSE
CAN WE JUST WORSHIP THE LORD
YOU MIGHT BE HERE TODAY…AND SAY...
PASTOR I’VE BEEN BATTLING THE ENEMY FOR YEARS
AND I’M TIRED
I’M EXHAUSTED
I’M READY TO OVERCOME AND WALK THROUGH THE DOOR
JUST RAISE YOUR HAND...
THESE ALTARS ARE OPEN
COME THIS MORNING AND LETS PRAY
WORSHIP TEAM SING
....SALVATION CALL....
IF YOUR HERE THIS MORNING AND WANT TO GIVE YOUR HEART TO THE LORD..
FOR ALL HAVE SINNED
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
BUT GOD DEMONSTRATE HIS LOVE IN THIS....WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNER HE DIED FOR US
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
IF WE CONFESS WITH OUR MOUTHS AND BELIEVE IN OUR HEART....YOU WILL BE SAVED
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
EPHESIANS 2. SAYS...
BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED THROUGH FAITH
NOT A RESULT OF WORKS
