Womb sounds good, praise the Lord. Amen glory.

Bring it down just a little bit fellas. I feel like talking to the crowd today. They men. praise the Lord Romans 8 35 through 39 talks about the wonderful marvelous love of Jesus. And how much he loves us and has nothing can keep him from loving us nothing. Nothing's in the future things in the past not hide nor death. Powers principalities. Nothing can keep him from loving us. My question is why is it that we allow things to keep us from loving him the way he would like sometimes we allow Fortune sometimes Fame. Sometimes neglect sometimes the TV. cell phone

loving him to getting involved with him the way he would like. I just pray that we would rearrange our priorities so that he is number one in our lives and we can look to be with him throughout the ceaseless ages of Eternity. This is my prayer in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Break it up fellas.

Are you are you Siri?

This is my love.

Are you ready? Are you ready?

I bring you greetings from the Mount Vernon Seventh-day Adventist Church. That's a pastor and a very full ministry there like you we are striving to try and make it to the kingdom and to bring Souls with us. I'm really happy to be here today. I'm always happy to proclaim the word of God because when I proclaim the word of God, it makes me forget my problems. I'm very serious. I asked God to give me time to speak on his behalf. So that with the things that I go through in my life don't seem that so significant because when you start talkin about Jesus, it changes everything about your perspective on life.

The music has been out of this world today for me. Not only the praise team in the other but gentleman you took me back to a long time ago probably longer than you want to remember. But you know if I have to do a crusade I miss you. I'm going to call for y'all because I remember those days when eating Cleveland and my pastor Pastor Bradford at the Tabernacle at the time, we do the Crusades on 168th Street and different places that goal in Saunders would do his and there was always a quartet. Quartet and it pulled everybody in that quartet that simple Harmony the harmony that we usually there wasn't any a complement of whatever that just singing acapella if they sang Outta tune they got back into if they don't do it, right they looked at each other gave each other looking thing. It was a beautiful thing and you know, the thing I liked about the most is that It was Joy.

simple joy So, how was your day is well, we we missed that simple. Joy, and we we go so far to one extreme that technically it's incredible the world that we have the date of these mics and everything that we have. The technology is incredible, but sometimes with all the technology we lose the human touch.

We call up. To discuss something on about a bill or whatever.

Will be with you in 30 seconds and the music comes on and you wait and you wait. So can I help you? Yes, I can help you. What is the problem? I'm having problem with on sound of my TV. Okay. That's not my department. Let me switch over there and the music comes back on and after a while. If you stay on the phone long enough most of us at least have the speaker phones where we can put down and continue to do what we have to do cuz if you have to hold the phone you're going to get very frustrated, but that's the world we live in today, you know as a teacher. I'm actually very I love to teach I love worked with middle school and high school age children at all in order challenge in himself, especially middle school. But the thing that is different about teaching today is that is less and less personal.

Altex is all standards that don't really tell you whether the child has learned everything. Perfect example, I went went to my old one of my old schools and the principal said Mr. Burnham. I want you to hear this kid. So he came into the principal's office and the kid started reciting some Shakespeare to me to be or not to be that is the question and he went through the whole full of liquid. So at the end of it I said that was good. I said what was it about? He said, I don't know.

Wind up your shame with the children drink Sabbath School. Learn the memory texting. They didn't know what that text was about. They just recited them. By the way, you remember where we used to do sell the school and the children couldn't come up unless they knew that the extra memory that's almost the thing that's going in today's world to because everybody has to have their child up for and I'm not trying to knock anybody cuz I know very few people that I know some people but I don't know anybody so you can see I'm talking about you. but anyway

Let's get it to what we're supposed to talk about today. I'd like you to turn to Galatians chapter 4.

Very famous and probably the season that were in relations Chapter 4 verses 4 and 5.

But when the fullness of time was come God sent forth, his son made a woman made under the law to redeem them that were under the law that we might be received the adoption of sons. And because you are Sons God have set forth the spirit of his son into your hearts crying Abba Father.

I want a little further, but that's alright. Wherefore Thou Art no more a servant but a son and if her son then an ear of God through Christ, there's a book called Desire of Ages. By the way. It's the most read book on the Life of Christ in the world. Next to the Bible. The Desire of Ages has been printed in more languages without the whole world and it's a beautiful book and every young person to read that book. I sell read that book and read storage option at cuz cuz it's it is something that will change your life change your life when you get to know who Jesus is. Anyway, it says it the. Of time you came. I took some young people down Two Times Square two weeks ago. I had not been down to Times Square to tell you the honest truth. I say in about 20 years. Cuz I lose like you all up in the country. I was living in Peekskill for a while. Now. I'm actually not the not in the country of you anymore sort of half. They think that they're a big city, but they're not cuz I live in Stamford now, Connecticut, but after being in New York every city is small. anyway Driving down there. Actually, you know the phrase blew my mind. I went down there and first of all the car moves like this.

To get one block. It's about 10 minutes. But more impressive to me impressive to me in a negative way with the amount of people that were down there. The people couldn't move it wasn't if you wanted to turn and go one way you couldn't do it. You just moved in a mop but a quiet mom, but this the thing that was incredible to me was that all the lights are down there now? It's lit up. But even though it was lit up the faces of the people look so dark. There was no excitement. You would think and I know most of the people down there at this time of the year there Taurus and you can tell the truth you how you can tell Victorious. This is how they walk.

Are they walk right three people walked into my car? Thank goodness. I wasn't going fast, but they just walked it. So have earphones on it is a different world. I called fortunately it's not a better world. What we have to do is think of number 45 and will understand what I'm saying. It's not a better world. It's a world of selfishness. It's a world of coldness. You know, I had to I was in the hospital visiting two people yesterday up in Stamford in Stamford has a new edifice. They added on to the hospital like most hospitals out now and when I came in I was holding the door for a lady we both came from the parking lot. We actually didn't know where we were going and I said will they told me to go and take go down there and there's a bridge she's all yours. That's what they told me. I said, okay, we'll go together says yes will be lost together. and I think hit me because that's a lot of people who have walked around saying the same thing. and it's not just outside of the world. It's in the church to

There's a lot of people come to church and then just come to church and after church is over. Nothing has changed.

And I'm not trying to go because this thought doc but the summer is going to get light. But I have to open up our minds to things that sometimes we don't want to see anymore because in today's world sometimes and I know music pretty well part of my life since a baby right at your table is great, but entertainment is a way to take your mind away sometime for what you really all about. And by the way when Ben Ben Ben Carson was saying Early in his life. He talked about how you can tell the end of an era of time. If you look at the great. Sometime Rome Greece Etc. Just before the fall the two things that were the most prominent in those societies was entertainment and sports. Just before the fall. The Coliseum was the big thing back in the time to roll Greek the Olympics but it's entertainment and sports having a lot of fun you and everything that we want all the ones that get the most adulation in the world entertainers and sports people. We know everything about LeBron James and by the way, he does a lot of good things in his community. He really built up schools and different things that he's done. But everybody watches him they watches the guy's what's the shoes that he has on the sneakers or the Michael Jordan? I was a Michael Jordan fan. greatest of all time Sorry, you young people that think that that's not you. Y'all just don't know. Greatest of all time I have my nephew came to my house and he was going to be old Uncle you don't know about Michael I said, can you go in my room back there and go look that bookshelf. He was because I just moved and I had to throw some of those magazines out and I oh I know what it is. When you really giving your heart to Jesus. You have to let go of things cuz I had so many magazines just to throw out. All right, because I had every magazine that was ever written about Michael Jordan. That's I mean, I'm an expert on him, right and the thing about it was that when I thought about that I said, you know when Jesus comes we have to let go of everything. What we give our heart to Jesus we let go of a lot of things and all those people that we think are so important then not going to be that important anymore because they got making it to the king of the same way. I have to make it into the kingdom. LeBron has to make it into the kingdom juice on Mike. Let's make it a true Jesus basketball resume.

What's that girl the young lady who is a gymnast? Nicole biles is it is it? Yes. She's incredible. She's incredible. She just won the World Championship again, and when she won the World Championship, she was plagued with kidney stones.

But she was so disciplined and what she could do that. She was able to block it out and when all those metal she made a record with the amount of medicine she got because her Focus was on her Focus was on what she had learned obviously head coach that told her how she could block things out. The interesting thing to me is in today's world. Who is your coach?

now before I jump into the meat between the SD the Old Testament and the New Testament was a time called the inter Testament time. And the thing that's significant of a 400 Year. From about 460 BC to 5:30. I think it was 80 the point about it was that. Of time there was no profit in the land. There was nothing new until the New Testament riding started to come out the people will left by themselves.

Can you imagine? no teacher no one to the guide you in the way. The church was dead. Boy, sometimes I get worried about the church. The church was dead. You know what? I was doing, you know, we had a y I hope you all have a wife here.

Yes, but you have a y here at is it a vibrant a y? okay, I'm not I'm not trying to date you because most churches you go to now there is no a y Is that the young people if they come to church a lot of times I think they'll get here is for the praise team. and the praise team Ida presti and that's wonderful. I love you, But that desire to be in the house of God and to share the things of God. Somehow has gone away. And now we have a bunch of people in the church walking like this. Not knowing what's going to go on not understanding but let's understand something very important.

First of all. Doesn't Force us to love him.

At the beginning of this outrageous is a chapter called God With Us. powerful brings tears to my eyes because God in his infinite power with his son knew that there was going to be a problem in the universe.

He doesn't treat didn't create evil when he always created the power-of-choice young people. This is this is very important. The power-of-choice. I told my students all the time. You have the power to be a genius or you have a power to be a dumb dumb. Cuz everyone has some genius in them. It may not be the same thing. But there is genius in everyone. There's something that someone can do very well that I can't do well with this something that I could do. Well that they can't do well at each one of you have a purpose for being on this Earth. And if anyone be at your parents your pastor your best friend, I don't care who it is. If they tell you your good-for-nothing. They are a demon.

I'm going to say it again because God created you to be on this Earth to do something special. So no one has the right to tell you that you are no one that you're nobody and there's too many people that will put that foolishness into your head and you start to absorbent to believe it and that's why a lot of time young people don't do as well as they could because they have been beaten down so much. I'm not only young people older people to Goes on the other side of you don't knock the old people cuz they can't run as fast as you anymore because they have a wisdom in here that come from living life. This should be that Unity that you have to talk to each other. You don't is a history especially back in the DayZ all if you go all the way back to Africa, how was the message carried from one generation? They didn't have any computers was done by word of mouth and it wasn't just enough. It was all over the world. That's how people communicated because they have any other way from you. So someone told the story is usually with a grandma or Grandpa. They told you how they were before they can tell you who married who etc etc. That was how people communicated but there is a baby that was created by God perfect and always and it talks about the news he could he was perfect on the always-on till iniquity was found in his heart and iniquity is rebellion. Listen to that carefully, it's Rebellion with people start to say I don't need an instruction. I don't need to listen to anybody. I can do it all by myself. And the funny thing is how can you tell the person that created you what to do?

You ever think about that? How can you tell the person you know, we have the same thing at the college's now where the students go in and they want to tell the professor's what curriculum they want.

You don't know you go you go down to open and go someplace else when I say go in there and you go and sit in the classes, whatever the professor said was what you had to take out a few challenged. You have to do it in a very very polite way usually in his office or office and have a discussion that sometimes you may even bring out a point that Professor didn't know my students would all the time then they didn't know most of the time I'm acting like I didn't see that so they could find it for them self. And by the way, that's a very important thing. You can just feed you things out people's mouth. Sometimes they have to learn it for themselves. And by the way, that's why when we get to the end part we going to talk about how important it is. You can't see people Jesus. They got to know Jesus for themselves.

They probably know the experience from shopping and experience in Jesus. Not just making them come to church and forcing them to sit and then they go home and they they see that you don't have any experience at home agency that experience just happening in church, you know that happy Sabbath. Happy Sabbath.

I really can't stand this lady but I got to say happy Sabbath to her voice. I don't know her but sometimes that's what's going on in the mind. Are the children by the way watch you and then you expect the children to behave good. It's like it's like when you tell the child don't lie and the child is at home and the child picks up the phone and they say it's the bill collector for the telephone and you say

So the message has been learned. The message has been learned the wrong way you young people know you have teachers that you love and you know the teachers you can get over on the teachers. You can get over under usually the nicer ones the ones who take no foolishness, you'll say he's menu, but he's a good teacher. All right, because you can't get over on them. But you play them and that's so sweet to you. Neither of you have done well because the teacher isn't doing their job and let her ruin a life. You're going to remember that you to say, you know what she really didn't teach me anything. She was nice what you did teach me to say and then mr. Jones or mr. Burton who is so hard I sauce to a student yesterday and the store she came running up to me to hug me. I had told her I'll maybe 15 years ago and the student I was with me up. One of the metric was what he said. No, you know, everybody know everybody knows me because I remember me how I'm going to the school, but they remembered after all All over he taught me well. You taught me well and that's what we need to understand in today's world. That's why I'm taking the time to break it down a little that. I'm not going to make it sound so sweet the way people do sometimes that the world so perfect. It isn't we are living in a sinful World. We're living in a world where the devil has taken over and I said, he was perfect till iniquity was in his heart iniquity is rebellion iniquity is the is the seat he deceived Eve Eve from the beginning and he's been doing it. So well, he's an expert is almost over 6,000 years of experience. He has he was there when you were created he looked over God shoulder. He knows how every part of your body works. In fact in the book Desire of Ages says that in the last days one of the things hold onto your hats.

That the devil has done he has taken over the bodies of people and he Now controls their organs. Did you hear what I said? Some of the things that people are saying that while I was born that way set except me about blah blah. It's not that we are born in sin and shapen in iniquity. So it doesn't bother me because we don't know what has going on in their mind doesn't know what has going on that body. I mean, there's certain things that go on the doctors will tell you now, they can do surgery inside the womb

operate on the fetus 20 years ago. No one was ever think of that ever could happen. Right things can happen without yes, having a psychic trauma happen inside an emotional trauma happened that no one knows and yes, you come out a little different but then this thing will best the natural enough we're born in sin and shapen in iniquity and the devil knows what he can do to one or he can do to another so this craziness now that we have that everybody that comes in. However, they are they can't help it they can't help it because God can do what we can't do by ourselves. Let me put this straight don't get it twisted. It doesn't mean that you are the judge in the final arbitrator of who that person is. It doesn't mean that you don't love that person. No matter what their problem is because by you love them. They see Jesus. What loving them means that you have to teach them, right?

But also give them time to get it together.

In the fullness of time God came into the world. In the book the side races. It says that during that time before Jesus was born the world was just messed up. They said you can see the evil in the people's faces. Not turn to your neighbor.

federal labor Can you see that you wrote there? You better say no. The point is sometimes when we looked at each other. Something is seriously wrong.

Oh, by the way, that's what I like a lot. But sometimes when I watch that I have to put my head down in football. All of football I love my teams, but I don't like to see what they get hurt. I like to see what I told Joe Theismann. The bone came out of his it was right on TV. You remember you too young to remember that you don't want to think about the boat came out right? Others have broken their necks. And then these other things that's so sad why they just take them off the field and they bring somebody in to replace them.

Think about that. Isn't that what the devil does?

Let me go down the list now. Whitney Houston Whitney Houston's daughter that is a whole bunch of musicians alone. Incredible Talent. Whitney in in in when she was in the church or musician starting to church and sometimes we praise them too much and they think they could become a big star we send them out because we don't praise God enough when they sing We Praise them and after a while, I've been that I know what I'm talking about. I've been there. I know what I'm talking about how you really was so good and blah blah blah and you can go anywhere blah blah, but I have been all over this world. But sometimes what they said was the wrong thing, that's why I try to remember. Thank the Lord for how God is using you because you know what God can use you and you still could be lost.

Judas was a disciple Judas went out and did it all things that all the disciples did he went preached. He healed the sick. He did everything that Jesus told the disciples to do he did but he's lost.

Peter was there. He's not lost. But when Peter was the disciple Jesus had to rebuke him and said Satan has decided to 62 s with that sweet, but you know what I prayed for you and here's the thing you said and when you walk converted, so he was with Jesus with three years and he wasn't converted. So that's what we have to understand. You could be sitting in the church all the time. I'm not converter because the environment that you're in is an environment and I'll talk about in your head. How do you come into that church when you get into the church in your head, what is it all about? Is it all about you? Are you coming to worship him or do you want everybody to see how your dress or how you walk or how you talk or are you sing? Whatever it what is it all about when you come to church.

Because Jesus knows and that's why a lot of people but they think that uses postage to save them. He's going to say, I don't know who you are.

Because in the in the in the experience, you never really wanted a relationship with me. You wanted to be all about you. Doesn't matter. I can try not to bring any any resumes when I have to speak because it's not about me. You don't know me what's inside of my head. I can look good. I do look good, but that's alright. Alright, I could do a whole bunch of things. But it doesn't mean I am saved. All it means is that he can use me and let me show some Whitney Whitney sang of the church. Her mother was in the church church Hittle fact with an iPad some record. So don't think I'm a perfect person or right when she sang precious Lord take my hand and she plays it on the piano. She's 13 years old. I have a recording of it so I can see why people would make but it was it was raw it was sincere. It showed all of her Talent you can see where she was going and you saw all the stuff and by the way, you know, I don't know how anybody has a funeral and they change their closing three times in the coffin. $85,000 coffin and they changed her three times what that's I don't know what that means that all. I don't know what that means. Write them. Talk about Aretha. Whitney Houston died poor but they still put her in that $85,000 gold coffin James Brown. He had the coffin the but nobody knew who protects the body member who is father was there for like weeks before they decided what who who won the who have who could bury him and Sarah the point I'm trying to make is that all these people have such incredible Talent challenge, but after a while when they reach a certain level of the devil does what he wants to do with them. Let me stop right there. Let's understand who the devil is. Pikachu Let me see it again. He hates. You know why he hates you because you are the apple of God's eye and he wants to get back at a God. Let me go back to my teaching experience when I have a student. I've done many things not just teach but as a demon in different ways, they have to deal with behavioral kids and everything. I went they mess up. There is some children never say this is bad and you should talk to them you can work with them. And then there's the other one say when it was her. She didn't do nothing. And the worst thing you have is two best friends that did something wrong and then you separated that's what they going to do. It was his fault nor was his fault. They never say I did it they will get the other person in trouble so fast, you won't believe it. But the point I'm trying to make is that there are some people in the class that one person goes back and you can see Improvement. You can see that they're trying to do the best thing the other one goes back and guess what he does he tries to make the class. in trouble cuz he knows he did something he and the way he feels and I will get punished anyway, so everybody get punished. Well Lucifer was the light-bearer in heaven. He saw the glory of God, but all the glory that was around him and all the jewelry is Sparkles because of God. And she got confused and thought it was coming from himself. So when he found out the Jesus was incarnate Son of God and God and equal to be God. And by the way, isn't that funny Jesus was equal to God and still he came down here and became a lowly human being Philippians 2:5, he says he's stupid is he stupid? He said he made himself of no reputation. I took on the form of a servant. who's supposed to know I will I will rise I will be like the most high I I I I I I I I

bottom line is Lucifer knows he lost you see because in the fullness of time. Jesus came. And he lived on this Earth for 33 and a half and a third year and then he died on the cross and when he died and when he said it is finished Lucifer said I'm done. Because you don't think Lucifer Through the Bible prophecies. He was doing everything in his power with Jesus to say I'm not going to die. He almost pushed Jesus to the edge because when he wants In The Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus said Lord, if it's possible, please let this cup from the past from me cuz Jesus was human. And here's another point of view to make just because you were Christian doesn't mean that you're not going to go through terrible things.

You will have your job experiences. I trust me. I know what you'll just say. Why is this happening to me? I don't understand why this is happening to me what the difference between the Christian that knows Jesus and the Christian that doesn't know Jesus one will check the Judas path and go run out and kill themself. Spiritually. The other one will be like Peter and say I messed up a Lord. I'm holding on to you because you're sad you said you said when you walk converter, so that that means this hope for me no matter what the situation is that I'm in there is hope for me and young people you need to understand even when you go to class and you failed a test you can pass the next test. But it means that you have to go home and do your homework and study. It means that you have to now change your attitude attitude has to be changed as to what can happen to you in your life that you can do things that no one told you ever could do. So Lucifer knows he lost and just like that kid in the class who decides that I'm going to get as many people as you in trouble as I can so they can suffer with me. That is simply simply what Lucifer is not Lucifer Satan now because now his name is Chad not the light. But the deceiver of the brethren. That's what he does. So he takes all this Talent all these talented people who have given their best years to him. And then they start to fall apart. When I read about Whitney. What are one of the greatest voices you're ever heard? I never she sent her the ground Grammys and she said one moment in time and you know, I played it for my students many times per singing that performance and she said one day. I love you and I want to live the best to make people see the best in me. I just came to my eyes and look what happened. She's singing the song about I want to be at a point where people see good in me and see how well and the last memory is that this lady probably committed suicide or died of a drug overdose drought in the old top of the seems like it was it was more to the story. But Satan said, I'm done with you Whitney. I don't care.

I don't care. It's like the basketball coach by the way or the football coach of the star who is doing real well, and then all of a sudden he or she enters them self. as a bear the police or whatever you want to call it that pay then I get especially the football players. They don't have long careers and there's no more money. You could be the best in the world today and then the coach says well, I'm sorry, you know, we will stick around you and the coach never calls most of those people never calls them that it's the mentality of the World by the way you go you work to Silicon Valley or you work on a job. What happens to you? You get sick.

I try to go through the health to get your insurance. It takes years sometimes to figure it out as a retiree. I'm learning that. What's your figure out which which it's just horrible? so we've got that all that you're in your mind. You're with me now. You wish me the about the people that walked in darkness there in darkness. And that's what I saw down there in Time Square, even though they were moving around. They look like didn't know what they were doing. So many of us in today's world are at that State. We don't know what we're doing anymore. We copy everything we see.

But we don't see the life.

She won't that light down at Times Square is all. made manufactured life It's not the real light.

God's people are to search for the real light.

He said I am the light of the world.

When Jesus comes he's looking for some people but actually know who he is.

It doesn't matter, you know, you go to these games and you going where people say, I want to thank Jesus. I will take my Lord and Savior for me. Just beating that person to the ground. He was with me so I obviously wasn't with the other person that got beaten up. All right, and sometimes by the way. This box is this week? He's in the hospital right now fighting for his life.

He was knocked out in the ring and he got up for a while and then all of a sudden he couldn't stand and now they did brain surgery on him and he's an induced coma. We don't know what's going to happen happened to him and the way they talk the way house silent it is, you know, it must be really bad because the family is asking for privacy and all that kind of stuff. You know, it must be really bad.

She doesn't care. We need to understand that because

problem with the church. Was that the ministers I'm talking about the Jewish priest they want you preaching the truth. They were supposed to know who Jesus was. And by the way, there were Gentiles who was studying the Bible more than the people in the church. Let me sit down cuz that's the end of a semi more than the people in the church. That's why sometimes when people come and ask us questions about the Bible. We need to check out cells when we can't answer them.

Because that, not asking serious questions and I'm not just talking about the Sabbath I thought about relations. Sometimes we will have talked to my pastor. Talk to your pastor.

I know the answer that's all due respect to the pastor. I'm not knocking any pastor Pastor to buy November long time. I know his wife and everything. He's cool with me. I'm cool with it, but don't try to break it up. The balm lie to me is about lunch meat. When you start to know who you are and what you're supposed to do. It should open your eyes to have a different view about life. I love to watch on ESPN when they showed these courageous stories of people that have gone through cancer and they've lost a Lego to something else and they are overcoming insurmountable odds. I remember Wilma Rudolph the Olympic runner years ago. She got polio at 8:16. All right, and they said her career is over and she said I'm going to win the Olympic gold medal.

It took a little while for her to start walking again, but she saw the light. She trusted in God and she did the hard work and that's what a lot of people in today's world that walk around the darkness. They don't want to do any work.

prayer out the window Well I can do is just say I mumble something going out? Eat my food on nutrient nutrient. What's up? NutriBullet get it just may take me two minutes to make my little breakfast now put some greens in there for some cherries and some nuts and I'm good. I'm healthy. By the way. You should bring that everyday you need to do the chewing your body needs to work. I'll see that part of your body and I mean I do it, but I also learned to alternate now. A true that is a truth or nuts because I need my digestive system needs to work properly because what you just have liquid going down after a while it gets some week is not working properly. the back to this Jesus came and I'm bringing it closer to close it. Close. I want to read something from the same book Desire of Ages.

It's stupid to take upon himself Humanity Christ reveal the character opposite to the Charter of Satan but he stepped still lower in the path of humiliation being found in fashion as a man. He humbled himself and became obedient even to the death of the cross. Jesus became one of the created. He was the creator, but he realized in order to save all of us. I've got to go into what they're going through and say I've been there I know what you've done and I can handle the problem for you. See that's the thing that we don't understand. The problem is already solved.

problem solved

to all the stuff that we do try to take to fix the problem. Jesus already fixed it. We can't die for ourselves. When we die, we not going to wake up unless until he died for us now we can wake up. So she also says price was treated as we deserve that we might be treated as he deserves to God With Us means that he's my brother.

Understand the Son of God is our brother. When we see him, he's not going to look like no ghost. He's going to look like us. What did you tell Thomas Thomas put your hand in my side. The holes in my hand, he is less. I mean obviously as God he can do he can be invisible when he wants to but he is connected with us in a way that no one else has ever been connected buta hasn't Muhammad hasn't done that there any other religion and I'm not knocking because there's going to be some of those people that was saved because they are more faithful to what they know and what we are A Jesus died for them to because Jesus died for what they didn't know. So the person that did not get baptized but knew as much as they knew Jesus got baptized for them. Jesus didn't mean to get baptized. He didn't do anything wrong. He did it for me and you if we're not able I remember years ago as soon tell me I can always just come back from Oakwood and I did this little Crusade and the lady she was getting baptized and she died before the baptism at one of the elders said to me. I was too bad. She didn't make it. Are you kidding? That's what Jesus came on this Earth to do he is about salvation heated MP3 communicate with those who can take communion. All right, he did everything that needs to be done. Jesus didn't need to do any of those things. God With Us means God is doing for us. He's taking over for a for a I'll look for my child if my child can walk. I'm walking for them.

If the dragon I'm going to carry them that's what makes Jesus. So special Jesus did what no one else could do. Now we always talk about Christmas. And yes Christmas is fantastic. And by the way, let's get it real.

Herb, I said how we shouldn't celebrate Christmas. Jesus wasn't born in San Antonio.

He was born. I don't know what benefits Corporation says benefits racing says that lady was some of y'all don't like in some of your love and some of your misspoke what she said. The Christmas is a wonderful time because a lot of people are thinking about the baby Jesus. So we have a great opportunity to witness the people about the baby Jesus. We shouldn't be so busy that we go around. I don't have a tree in my house because of the Old Testament says. Supposed No Testament didn't say you can have a Christmas tree.

Show it to me. Cuz what is talking about in the tree is not about the same thing that you think is talking about.

It was a humiliation to die on the tree versus a man that dies on the tree. It's like you're the worst of the worst. It's a humiliation, but it wasn't safe when people worship or tree. What's guess what we can ration fees flowers. We can worship the pulpit to worship the Mike's we can worship anything that we want to and and and and not give glory to God. I love my tree. But I don't worship my tree. Metre to something. I can throw my tree out in a minute. It's not a big thing. All right, but but I like with joy, you know God is about light God is about color. That's about all those I'm not going to go there. So I give my heart to the people come in. They say Merry Christmas to you. I said, yes and we start talking and they'll even say you know, it's Christmas. Jesus wasn't born on Christmas too cold. That's what I don't know if they could have been a chief in the pole. The bottom line was he was born then we can have a conversation about him being bored people who may be talked about never talked about it while we're looking at the tree. And then there's the other people would just sit in this in their going straight to hell cuz they have a tree in the house and I don't want to I don't want to be bothered them. So I'm not to be part of this conversation because I am a good even though I don't keep the Sabbath on Friday night. I start on Saturday morning and you're even though I don't have a tree I still would have broke in my thing in my hat shines like a glass of glitter and everything when I walk and I make sure everybody sees who I am. I don't worship Eyeworks. I don't worship the treat I worship.

And that's the that's the point. What Jesus came on this Earth he took on an attitude is that the attitude that we have to carry? Just give me a few more minutes. The minister not your minister. A lot of The Minister's today. I'm not talking about I don't know Pastor trip to judge him. That's not my job. But any other ministers in the church now, they are having the problem of not pointing people to Jesus. You better understand that because no Minister savior. No president of a country says, you know Church secretary saves, you know, Deacon saves you a lot of them then falling into this popularity thing. So lot of things that they discussed in the church right now that the church is fighting over. Jesus is looking like saying you got to be killing kidding me.

And what's happening is that will losing Souls. And then the motivation is no longer there to tell other people about Jesus. I've heard many people say I would bring my friends to church, but I really don't want to bring them to my church. Cuz I don't want them to see what's going on at my church best year-round nominating committee time and all those times when people make announcements and then people start arguing over something that people see that they don't see the love of Jesus. They don't see it. We still have a problem even with our racial tensions. You go one place. This group is sitting over here and the other group was sitting over there and you know what?

so

Jamaicans over here

Did you make it over here too? They'll oblige Island the bajans over here. Right here.

The people from the bronze up there. The people from Brooklyn over there. All right, then, of course the Italians over here and the Italians that the people from Morocco Germans over there, right the Russians over there. It's not going to be like that in heaven. It's not going to be like that and Heaven. Everybody's going to be walking around happy to see each other. We will be worried about how we look cuz we going to be looking at Jesus. We going to be tank and praising him for the route the ceaseless ages of Eternity trying to figure out how he saved a Wretch like Me.

See, that's what God With Us is all about. That's what it's about and we need to understand that it's a day's world because he's coming soon.

Regardless or not? We're ready. He's coming and for some people he may come today because when you died, but next thing, you know is he's a coming. They might live another 20 years if you Terry's but he's coming and when he's coming he's coming for people that he knows. And that they know him.

Plus you're in this season. I want to just us to go a little deeper. I think about what it's all about and think what it's about for each one of us personally. They said the men sang beautifully, but the Lord the Holy Spirit was using them cuz they sang Perfect songs. Addison are you ready for Jesus to come? Have you been faithful in all that you do? Have you fought a good fight? And that fight is with it. I'm not talk about fighting against the members of your your family or the church or have you have you fought a good fight with him when Paul said I fought a good fight he's talking about he's rebuking the devil. I've finished my course. I've kept the faith and he could claim. Are you able to claim when Jesus comes can you look up and say this? Oh have mercy.

This is my God my Lord. Are you ready for Jesus to come? Let us prey.

Thank You Lord For What only you can do And if I've messed up anywhere, we that you clean it up in the minds of The Listener listener have mercy on all of us have mercy on the speaker have mercy on the families that are represented here. I would pray that what's your spirit has done will be something that will lead us closer to thee not just for the few moments that were in the church. That will motivate us to study more and to get ourselves right by your grace. And as we go through this wonderful season, we ask that you would help us to share our faith with others. Let's Jesus be seen in US bless this church. Give them exceedingly abundantly above what they ask or think that brings praise and honor to your name if anyone is sick or has family that sick bless them and bless the one who's sick. If someone has lost a loved one give them comfort those were giving Financial or emotional or psychological problems touch the Lord Jesus rebuke the devil at this time in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ put a hedge around each one here in the put a hedge around this works for you the speaker. We thank you. And before we say the amen. It says someone who knows that they have to get it right with Jesus and I'm not about loan calls because Jesus calls you everyday. but if you're struggling Just Let Jesus know you don't have to raise your hand for me to see Let Jesus know Give him your all. Young people especially don't give up on life too many young people taking their life before life has even begun don't give up when it gets hard. Hold on look to the mall look to the light and you'll be surprised what will happen to you. The Lord. We thank you. We praise your name and we give it all to you in the name of Jesus. I pray. Amen. God bless you all.

-8 men Thank God for using.
