SAY JESUS!
HELLO, EVERYBODY, HOW ARE Y'ALL DOING TODAY?
VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD.
WANT TO SAY HELLO TO EVERYONE WATCHING ONLINE, AND NORTH
COUNTY AND EAST COUNTY.
ON INTERNET I WANT TO TELL YOU THIS MORNING OUR COMPUTERS
CRASHED AND ALMOST DIDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEND THE MESSAGE
OUT PAST THIS ROOM AND THEY FIXED IT RIGHT BEFORE THE
SERMON.
I CAN SUPER-SPIRITUALIZE WHY, BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU THE
MESSAGE I WANT TO SPEAK TODAY BY FAR, PROBABLY BY NUMBER OF 10,
10 TIMES MORE THAN I HAVE PREACHED THAN ANY OTHER SERMON
IN MY LIFE.
IT'S ABOUT 25 YEARS OLD.
AND I BELIEVE IT'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGES YOU WILL
HEAR IN YOUR LIFE.
AND YOU WILL FIND OUT.
AND IT'S ABOUT THE DEVIL AND HOW WE CAUSES YOU TO SIN.
I KNOW HE DOESN'T WANT IT OUT BUT GOD GOT IT THROUGH AND
AMEN.
SO GET ON OUR KNEES.
I WANT TO WELCOME ALL OF OUR VISITORS TODAY.
GOD BLESS Y'ALL, IF YOU ARE A VISITOR, SAY AMEN.
GOD BLESS Y'ALL, GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
LORD, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR YOUR GOODNESS AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORD THAT
GIVE US THE TRUTH.
AND I PRAY TODAY'S TRUTH WOULD SET PEOPLE FREE, IN JESUS' NAME,
AMEN.
AMEN, LET'S SEE YOUR BIBLES TODAY.
SAY WORD!
GENESIS CHAPTER 3, THIRD CHAPTER OF THE WHOLE BIBLE.
THIRD CHAPTER.
I SPENT THIS WEEK WITH ABOUT 150 NFL PLAYERS AND THEIR WIVES,
GIRLFRIENDS AND ETC. AND WE BAPTIZED ABOUT 40 OF THEM
ON THURSDAY, AMEN.
AND WHEN THEY SHOWED THE VIDEO OF THE BAPTISM.
THEY HAD PEOPLE GOING IN THE WATER AND THEN THEY HAD PEOPLE
COMING OUT OF THE WATER.
WHEN YOU KNOW SOMEBODY'S STORY AND YOU SEE THEM GIVE THEIR LIFE
TO THE LORD IN THIS CASE BEING BAPTIZED.
IT WAS VERY EMOTIONAL.
AND I GOT EMOTIONAL NOT ONLY SEEING AND KNOWING THE STORIES
OF PEOPLE GOING IN AND OUT OF THE WATER.
BUT I WAS IN VIDEO AS I WAS BAPTIZING THEM.
AND STARTING THINKING BUT HOW GOD SEES OUR LIFE FROM HIS
PERSPECTIVE.
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT GOD KNOWS GOING IN YOUR LIFE.
INTERESTING TO SEE FROM GOD'S PERSPECTIVE.
WHAT I TELL YOU TODAY, I WILL TELL YOU IS ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT THINGS YOU WILL KNOW IN YOUR LIFE.
I PRAY YOU PAY ATTENTION AND WRITE DOWN NOTES, I KNOW THAT IT
WILL OPEN UP A LIGHT BULB IN YOUR HEAD.
I GOT SAVED IN 1984, WENT INTO THE MINISTRY ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.
SHARING THE GOSPEL WITH KIDS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, HAD A BIBLE
STUDY AT MY HOUSE.
ONE OF MY FIRST SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS WAS FROM
PHILADELPHIA.
ANYONE FROM PHILLY?
THEY CALL IT THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE, BUT THOSE ARE
TOUGH PEOPLE IN PHILLY, THEY WILL JACK YOU UP.
THEY THROW SNOWBALLS AT SANTA CLAUS, IT'S TRUE.
AND NFL AND SANTA CLAUS GOING AROUND AND PHILLY HITTING HIM
WITH SNOWBALLS.
IT'S HILARIOUS.
SO I WENT TO PHILLY TO SPEAK AND I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT THE DEVIL
WAS HAVING A SWAP MEET OR FLEA MARKET AT VETERAN STADIUM WHERE
THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES USED TO PLAY.
I DECIDED TO GO AND THE TRAFFIC FROM ALL OVER THE TRI-STATE
AREA.
AND WHEN I GOT THERE THE DEVIL HAD TABLES ALL AROUND THE
PARKING LOT WITH DEMONS STANDING BEHIND THE TABLES WITH BOOTHS
AND GIVING STUFF AWAY.
*** AND DISEASE AND GUNS AND WAYS TO RUIN YOUR LIFE.
AND ALL FOR FREE.
PEOPLE HAD DRIVEN FROM ALL OVER THE EAST COAST TO GET TO THIS,
THEY HAVE IT REGIONALLY.
AND THE STADIUM IS LOCKED AND THE DEVIL IS ON TOP OF THE
STADIUM.
AND GETTING THIS STUFF FOR FREE, AND ALL THE DOORS ON THE STADIUM
SAID, NO ADMITTANCE BUT FOR SATAN ONLY.
AND I SAID WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MILES I AM GIVING AWAY AT THE
TABLES TO DESTROY THEIR LIVES AND THEY DON'T KNOW.
AND I SAID WHY ARE THE DOORS LOCKED.
HE SAID THIS IS MY NUMBER ONE WEAPON, I CAN'T MAKE THEM TAKE
IT, BUT I TRICK IT AND DECEIVE IT AND I USE MY NUMBER ONE
WEAPON.
AND I SAID, EVERY TIME WE SIN AND YOU DECEIVE US, WHICH IS
EVERY SINGLE DAY, YOU USE THIS WEAPON AGAINST US.
HE SAID, EVERY TIME.
MILES, NOT EVERY DAY BUT EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY.
EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY.
I USE THIS ON EVERYBODY.
I SAID OKAY, WHAT IS IT.
HE SAID I AM NOT GOING TO TELL YOU, BECAUSE YOU CAN BEAT ME AT
MY OWN GAME.
AND I SAID, I WILL READ THE BIBLE AND GET THE ANSWER FROM
THE BIBLE.
AND IN CASE YOU ARE TRIPPING AND THINK THIS HAPPENED, NO THERE
WAS NOT A SWAP MEET OF THE DEVIL.
MAN, IT'S REGIONAL, WHEN IS IT COMING TO SAN DIEGO.
BUT WHAT WE WILL TEACH YOU IS TRUE.
AND BEFORE I START THIS, I NEED TO TELL YOU THAT EVERY DAY,
EVERY MINUTE THE DEVIL IS USING THIS WEAPON ON YOU, ALL OF US,
EVERY DAY.
CONTEXT, GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND THE FISH AND
THE BIRDS AND LAND AND PEOPLE.
AND EVERYTHING WAS GOOD.
WE SAW THAT HE CREATED MAN IN HIS IMAGE AND HE TOLD MAN, YOU
HAVE ALL AUTHORITY.
I GIVE YOU DOMINION OVER THE EARTH AND SUBDUE AND EXERCISE
DOMINION OVER ALL THE EARTH.
AND SUBDUE IT AND SLAVE IT AND SLAVE THIS TEMPTATION.
SO EVERYTHING IS GOOD.
ADAM AND EVE, BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY.
WALK AROUND, THEY ARE NAKED WHICH MEANS THEY ARE PHYSICALLY
AND EMOTIONALLY EXPOSED AND COVERED IN LIGHT.
AND THEN THEY ARE TEMPTED.
AND THE DEVIL'S NOT ONLY FIRST TEMPTATION I WOULD SAY IT WAS
HIS BEST TEMPTATION, USE THE BEST FIRST AND THIS IS WHAT
HAPPENS.
THIS IS HOW ADAM AND EVE ARE GOING TO SURRENDER THEIR
DOMINION OVER TO THE DEVIL AND THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE AN
AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVIL.
NEXT WEEK WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE AGREEMENTS WE ALL HAVE WITH THE
DEVIL.
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US IN THIS ROOM HAVE AGREEMENTS, CONTRACTS
WITH THE DEVIL.
AND YOU MAY BE SAYING, NO, I DON'T.
YES, YOU DO.
AND I WILL PROVE IT NEXT WEEK.
BUT YOU CAN BREAK THAT AGREEMENT.
BUT YOU HAVE THEM.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT NEXT WEEK.
CHAPTER 3, VERSE 1, IT SAYS THAT THE SERPENT WAS MORE CUNNING
THAN ANY BEAST OF THE FIELD THAT THE LORD GOD HAD MADE.
STOP RIGHT THERE.
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEVIL IS VERY INTELLIGENT.
HE'S DUMB, GOING TO HELL.
HE'S A GENIUS, GENIUSES GO TO HELL.
SMART PEOPLE GO -- HOW MANY OF YOU THINK YOU ARE RELATIVELY
SMART?
Y'ALL ARE LIKE THAT'S A TRICK, THAT'S A TRICK.
I RAISE MY HAND -- YOU JUST LIED.
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF YOU JUST LIED.
WHAT YOU MEAN YOU LIED, YOU KNOW YOU THINK YOU ARE SMART.
YOU CAN RAISE YOUR HAND, YOU JUST OUT SMARTED YOURSELF, I AM
NOT RAISING MY HAND.
I AM DUMB.
I AM DUMB.
HOW MANY OF YOU THINK YOU ARE RELATIVELY SMART AND SOME
INTELLIGENCE, GO AHEAD, RAISE YOUR HAND, IT'S OKAY.
BROTHER IS BACK THERE, YEAH, I AM SMART.
WE DO DUMB THINGS, CAN I GET AMEN.
THE DEVIL IS A MASTERMIND AND SO SMART THAT HE CAN GET YOU TO
LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND TELL YOURSELF, I WILL GETTING READY
TO DO SOMETHING THAT WILL CAUSE YOU PAIN.
AND YOU DO IT ANYWAY.
THAT'S HOW SMART HE IS.
AND YOU DO IT ANYWAY.
THAT'S HOW SMART HE IS.
HE GETS WORLD LEADERS TO DO THINGS THAT CAUSE THEIR WHOLE
COUNTRY PAIN.
AND THEY DO IT ANYWAY.
HE'S A MASTERMIND.
AND THEN THIS IS HOW SMART HE IS.
YOU DO EXPERIENCE PAIN AND THEN SOMEBODY TRIES TO TELL YOU HE'S
TO BLAME.
AND THEN YOU BLAME GOD.
AND BLAME OTHER PEOPLE.
NEVER YOURSELF, IN NEVER THE DEVIL.
THAT'S HOW SMART HE IS.
HE'S A MASTERMIND.
LOOK AT WHAT IT SAYS, WAS MORE CUNNING THAN ANY BEAST FIELD
THAT THE LORD GOD HAD MADE.
AND SAID TO THE WOMAN, YO, GIRL, WHAT IS YOUR NAME.
THERE IS A WHOLE BUNCH OF LADIES GOING, THAT'S WHO THEY GUY WAS.
I MET THAT DUDE BEFORE LAST NIGHT.
HE WAS AT THE CLUB -- I SEEN HIM.
[LAUGHTER]
HE SAYS, YO, GIRL, WHAT IS YOUR NAME.
HAS GOD INDEED SAID YOU SHALL NOT EAT OF EVERY TREE OF THE
GARDEN, AND THE WOMAN SAID TO THE SERPENT, WE MAY EAT OF THE
FRUIT OF THE TREES OF THE GARDEN, BUT OF THE FRUIT OF THE
TREE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GARDEN GOD SAID DO NOT EAT LEST YOU
DIE.
I WILL GIVE EVE A B- BECAUSE TOUCHING THE FRUIT, BUT I GIVE
EVE AN "F" AS SHE SPOKE WITH THE DEVIL.
IF I WAS WITH MY WIFE AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM AND A GUY WAS
TALKING TO HER.
I WAS THAT PSYCHO-DUDE TRYING GET IN THE FIGHT.
WHAT IS UP MAN, DON'T BE LOOKING AT MY GIRL.
I WAS THAT GUY.
FOR REAL I WAS THAT GUY.
I WAS SO GLAD I NEVER GOT IN A FIGHT.
I WAS LIKE YO, MAN, THIS IS MY WOMAN.
AND I WOULD CALL DUDES OUT IF THEY WERE STARING AT HER.
I WAS THAT GUY.
BECAUSE I KNEW THAT NONE OF THOSE GUYS WERE TELLING HER WHAT
GOOD A GUY I WAS.
THEY WERE TRYING TO GET HER PHONE NUMBER.
AMEN.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS FOR OUR RELATIONSHIP.
THEY HAD GOOD INTENTIONS FOR HIS RELATIONSHIP.
WHEN YOU TALK WITH THE DEVIL, HE DOES NOT HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS
FOR YOUR LIFE.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU HEAR.
NOW LET ME CLARIFY.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WAKE UP ONE DAY IN YOUR ROOM AND THE DEVIL
AT THE BED AND HEY, WHAT IS HAPPENING, SATAN, WHAT IS GOING
ON.
THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
BUT ANY TIME YOU START TO CONTEMPLATE DOUBTING WHAT GOD
SAID, DOUBTING IF YOU BELIEVE GOD, DOING YOUR OWN THING.
WHEN I SAY DEVIL IN THIS CONTEXT, EVIL.
THE DEVIL IS THE MASTER.
HE'S AN ANGEL CAST OUT OF HEAVEN.
HE TOOK ONE-THIRD OF THE ANGELS WITH HIM.
THEY BECAME DEMONS.
THEY ARE REAL ENTITIES.
THEY CAN THINK, THEY CAN SPEAK AND HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.
AND NEXT WEEK WE WILL LOOK AT PART OF THE RELATIONSHIPS THEY
HAVE WITH YOU.
ONE DAY I ASKED, DO YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DEVIL.
THEY SAID I HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DEVIL.
IN THE LEAST HE'S YOUR ENEMY.
THAT'S A RELATIONSHIP.
IN THE LEAST HE'S YOUR DECEIVER.
I WAS WATCHING ESPN THIS MORNING WORKING OUT.
AND THEY HAD A PIECE ON COLLEGE BASKETBALL FANS WHO HECKLE THE
VISITORS.
AND STUFF THEY SAY THAT IS HORRIBLE.
BUT THEY GO ONLINE AND RESEARCH THEM AND USE THAT AGAINST THEM.
AND SAY THIS NASTY STUFF ABOUT THEIR MOTHER AND FAMILY AND
RACE, AND TRY TO GET IN THEIR HEAD.
AND TALKING ABOUT HOW TO SENSOR THE KIDS.
AND WHEN I WATCHED ON THE INTERNET AND WENT TO THE PIECE,
HOW MUCH RESEARCH THEY DO ON THE PLAYER TO GET UNDER THEIR SKIN.
THE DEVIL DOES THE SAME THING.
HE KNOWS YOU, HE KNOWS WHAT YOU LIKE.
IF YOU LIKE BLONDES, HE WILL SEND BLONDES YOUR WAY.
HE AIN'T GOING TO SEND A LATINO TO YOU, IF YOU AIN'T INTERESTED.
IF YOU LIKE LATINO, HE WILL SEND YOU ONE.
HE KNOWS YOUR BUTTON.
YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK TO HIM, BECAUSE HE WILL LURE YOU IN.
BY THE WAY AS A SIDE NOTE, WHY WAS EVE BY HERSELF?
WHERE IS ADAM?
NOW ON A PRACTICAL LEVEL, GOD, YOU GIVE ME A WOMAN AND WE ARE
BOTH NAKED AND TOLD TO HAVE BABIES.
WHY IS SHE BY HERSELF?
FOR REAL.
THEY DIDN'T SEE NAKEDNESS LIKE WE DO.
WE WILL SEE THAT IN A MINUTE.
ONCE THEY SIN THEY DID.
IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN AND WANT TO WALK WITH GOD AND NOT AROUND
OTHER CHRISTIANS.
YOU WILL GET TEMPTED MORE READILY.
YOU NEED TO SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GODLY COUNCIL.
HERE'S THE NUMBER ONE WEAPON, IT COMES IN A TWO-PART LIE.
IT SAYS, THE SERPENT SAID TO THE WOMAN, YOU WILL NOT DIE.
IN OTHER WORDS IF YOU DO WHAT GOD SAID DON'T DO, YOU WILL NOT
SUFFER A CONSEQUENCE.
YOU WILL GET AWAY WITH IT.
NOW BARRING SOME LAPSE IN COMMON SENSE, I IMAGINE WHEN YOU SIN,
YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO GET AWAY WITH IT.
I KNOW SOME OF YOU. I'M GOING TO GET CAUGHT, IT'S GOING TO BE
SO MUCH FUN.
BUT I GOT TO BELIEVE THAT THE AVERAGE JOE WILL SAY, I AM GOING
TO GET AWAY WITH IT.
YOU THINK STUFF IN YOUR HEAD.
SHE THINKS SHE'S ALL THAT AND SHE'S NOT ALL THAT.
THAT'S NOT EVEN HER HAIR.
I KNOW SHE AIN'T GOT NO HAIR LIKE THAT.
AND YOU STRAIGHT UP HAVE A WEAVE.
YOU THINK PRIMAL THOUGHTS AND GOSSIP.
I KNOW PEOPLE, THEY CAN'T TALK FIVE MINUTES WITHOUT CUTTING
SOMEBODY DOWN.
DRUGS, YOU THINK YOU CAN HAVE SEX WITH WHO YOU WANT, NO
CONSEQUENCE.
YOU THINK YOU CAN TALK ABOUT WHO YOU WANT, NO CONSEQUENCE.
THAT'S WHAT HE TELLS YOU, AND EVERY TIME YOU BELIEVE THIS,
WELL, I AM ALIVE NOW.
NO, THE DEATH IS TWO-FOLD.
IT'S SPIRITUAL DEATH THAT IS BROKEN RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND
WHAT COMES WITH THAT IS BROKEN DREAMS.
THEY DIE.
YOUR HOPE DIES SLOWLY BUT SURELY.
YOUR RELATIONSHIPS DIE.
YOUR CREDIBILITY AND INTEGRITY DIE.
YOUR SELF-ESTEEM AND SELF-WORTH DIES.
YOUR OPPORTUNITIES AND SKILL AND VISION DIE, DIE, DIE.
AND YOU SLOWLY GET BROKEN DOWN.
THAT'S THE DEATH THAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
GOD HAS GIVEN YOU WARNINGS.
DON'T RAISE YOUR HAND, BUT IF YOU CAN, HOW MANY OF YOU GOT
DRUNK LAST NIGHT AND HUNGOVER RIGHT NOW AND YOU THINK I AM
SCREAMING AT YOU.
I AM REALLY WHISPERING.
ALL OF YOU ARE HUNGOVER NOW, I THOUGHT HE WAS YELLING.
THAT HANGOVER IS A WARNING.
DON'T DO THAT AGAIN.
THAT'S THE WARNING.
DIE, DIE, DIE.
AND WHEN THE DEVIL SAYS YOU ARE NOT GOING TO PAY ANY
CONSEQUENCE.
HE IS LYING TO YOU.
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE DONE, YEARS AGO OR MONTHS AGO OR DAYS AGO,
YOU DID SOMETHING THAT GOD SAID NOT TO DO.
AND YOU ARE SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES AND/OR YOU ARE
ADDICTED TO THAT THING OR PERSON.
AND IT'S PAINFUL.
THE ADDICTION IS PAINFUL.
SO THIS ADDICTION TO A PAINFUL SOMETHING IS WHAT THE DEVIL TOLD
YOU WOULD BRING YOU JOY.
AND YET NOW YOU WANT TO STOP BUT YOU CAN'T.
SO YOU ARE ADDICTED TO DESTROYING YOURSELF.
THAT'S DEATH TIMES TWO.
HE LIED TO YOU.
AND HERE'S THE TRIP THING ABOUT IT.
YOU ARE NOT EVEN BLAMING HIM.
YOU ARE BLAMING GOD.
YOU ARE BLAMING YOUR FAMILY.
YOU ARE BLAMING YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
YOU ARE BLAMING YOUR DADDY.
YOU BLAME YOUR CHURCH.
AND NOT THE DEVIL.
HE IS LAUGHING.
LOOK AT THAT HYPOCRITE.
HE'S A MASTERMIND.
EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY, LISTEN TO YOUR THOUGHTS.
GOD KNOWS EVERY THOUGHT, YOU GET AWAY WITH NONE OF YOU.
AND THE PART TWO OF THE WEAPON, VERSE 5, FOR GOD KNOWS IN THE
DAY YOU EAT AND THERE IS GOOD AND EVIL.
GOD KNOWS IF YOU DO WHAT HE SAID TO DO AND KNOW GOOD AND EVIL.
OF COURSE I KNOW GOOD AND EVIL.
YOUR JOB IS NOT TO KNOW GOOD AND EVIL.
GOD HAS NOT CREATED YOU TO DECIDE GOOD AND EVIL ON YOUR
OWN.
HE CREATED YOU TO OBEY HIM.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
I WILL TELL YOU, I WAS IN MEXICO WITH A BUNCH OF KIDS 20
SOMETHING YEARS AGO.
I WAS A YOUTH PASTOR AND GIVING FOOD AND CLOTHES TO THE POOR.
AND THIS GIRL CAME UP, FIVE-ISH, NO SHOES AND IT WAS RAINING.
AND SHE WANTED SHOES.
I WANT SHOES.
I SAID I GOT SHOES.
GOD SAID TO ME NO SHOES
[SPANISH]
GOD YOU KNOW SPANISH?
THAT'S COOL.
HE SAID MILES DON'T GIVE THAT GIRL SHOES.
WHY?
SHE'S HERE, I DON'T GET IT.
IT'S NOT MY JOB TO GET IT.
I SAID NO SHOES.
AND SHE WALKS WITH SOMEBODY ELSE AND ASKING FOR SHOES.
SHE WANTED SHOES.
AND ONE OF OUR KIDS GAVE HER SHOES.
AND SHE WALKED DOWN THE HILL.
AND I SAW IT HAPPEN.
I THOUGHT GOD WHY COULDN'T I DO THAT.
AND THE PASTOR CAME OUT AND SAID IF THAT GIRL COMES BACK, DON'T
GIVE HER SHOES.
WHY NOT?
IT'S A SCAM, SHE WILL TAKE THE SHOES AND GET ALL OF THESE SHOES
AND CLOTHES AND SELL IT.
IT'S NOT MY JOB TO KNOW THAT.
MY JOB IS TO SAY, GOD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO.
THE DEVIL SAYS, YOU DON'T NEED GOD.
YOU DON'T NEED THE BIBLE.
YOU DON'T NEED TO GO TO CHURCH.
YOU CAN DECIDE GOOD AND EVIL ON YOUR OWN.
YOU WANT TO SEE PEOPLE BEING THEIR OWN GOD, JUST WATCH THE
NEWS.
HERE IS WHAT IS RIGHT.
HERE IS WHAT LOVE IS.
HERE IS WHAT MARRIAGE IS.
HERE IS WHAT FREE SPEECH IS ALL ABOUT.
ALL THE RULES THAT THE WORLD IS TELLING YOU, BUT THEN TELL YOU
NOT TO IMPOSE YOUR RELIGION ON THEM.
BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
GOD SAYS THAT'S NOT YOUR JOB AND WHEN YOU DO THAT, YOU ARE DOING
WHAT THE DEVIL WANTS.
MAKING YOUR OWN RULES.
HE SAID I MADE THE RULES.
IF YOU MAKE YOUR OWN RULES, SOMETHING IS GOING TO DIE.
PERIOD.
SO WHAT DO WE DO?
ALL DAY LONG WE MAKE OUR OWN RULES.
AND BY THE WAY, CHRISTIANS CAN BE THE WORSE BECAUSE YOU CAN USE
THE BIBLE TO MAKE YOUR OWN RULES, IT'S NOT BIBLICAL.
THEN YOU ARE DOUBLE-DOUBLE TWISTED BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU
ARE DOING IT IN GOD'S NAME.
AND YOU ARE NOT.
YOU BEEN IN A PRAYER MEETING, LET'S PRAY FOR OUR BROTHER.
AND YOU SPILL ALL OF HIS PERSONAL STUFF AND THEN YOU
PRAY.
AND GOD GOES, YOU JUST BROKE THE CONFIDENCE OF THAT PERSON.
AND ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE GO, GUESS WHAT I HEARD.
SOME OF THEM MAY PRAY.
BUT MOST OF THEM -- I SHOULDN'T SAY MOST BUT I ASSUME BECAUSE I
HEAR IT ALL THE TIME.
THEY JUST GOING TO SAY IT.
YEAH, THEY DID THIS AND THAT.
AND THEY TELL SOMEBODY AND THEY TELL SOMEBODY AND THEY TELL
SOMEBODY.
ALL OF THAT IS GARBAGE FROM HELL.
AND THE DEVIL IS JUST LAUGHING AT YOU.
AND PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT CHRISTIAN ARE SAYING I AM NOT
GOING TO THAT CHURCH.
AND THEY ARE RIGHT.
AND THE DEVIL -- HE IS GENIUS BUT GOD IS SMARTER.
LET'S KEEP READING.
SAY AMEN IF THIS MAKES SENSE.
I KNOW IT IS.
VERSE 6, AND THE WOMAN LOOKED AT THE FRUIT AND GAVE TO THE
HUSBAND AND HE ATE.
AND THE EYES OF BOTH OF THEM WERE OPEN AND KNEW THEY WERE
NAKED AND SEWED FIG LEAVES TOGETHER.
SAY SEWED FIG LEAVES TOGETHER.
YOU CAN'T COVER YOURSELF WITH FIG LEAVES, A NICE HOUSE, A
SUCCESSFUL CAREER, AN INTACT FAMILY.
ALL OF THAT DOES NOT COVER YOUR SIN.
ONLY JESUS CHRIST'S DEATH ON THE CROSS WILL PAY FOR YOUR SIN.
NOTHING ELSE.
AND YOU LOOK AT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND THIS IS A NICE
NEIGHBORHOOD, BETTER CHRISTIANS.
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
COME TO CHURCH ON TIME.
LOOK ALL PURDY, AND BELIEVE ME, I AM SO HAPPY THAT THERE ARE
HYPOCRITES IN THIS ROOM.
LIARS AND CHEATERS AND DRUG ADDICTS AND ALL THAT, SO HAPPY.
BECAUSE THIS IS THE PLACE THAT GOD IS GOING TO LOVE YOU TO
DEATH.
BUT DON'T TRICK YOURSELF.
YOU CAN TRICK ME, I DON'T REALLY CARE.
BUT YOU WANT TO SAY, LORD, HERE IS MY JUNK.
THAT'S WHAT WE WANT.
KNOW THAT GOD KNOWS.
DON'T THINK THAT GOD DOESN'T KNOW.
HE KNOWS.
AND SO IT SAYS IN VERSE 8, THEY HEARD THE SOUND OF THE LORD GOD
WALKING IN THE GARDEN IN THE COOL OF THE DAY, ADAM AND HIS
WIFE HID THEMSELVES FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD GOD.
HOW DID THEY KNOW THEY WERE NAKED?
REAL QUICK, THE THEORY IS THAT THEY WERE COVERED IN LIGHT.
THEY WERE GLOWING.
WHY DO I THINK THAT?
THERE IS A STUDY CALLED BIOPHOTONICS, THAT'S THE LIGHT
COMING OUT OF LIVING THINGS.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY MEASURE THE LIGHT COMING OUT OF THE FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES.
DID YOU SEE A WOMAN ON HER WEDDING DAY OR PREGNANT OR FALLS
IN LOVE, SHE'S GLOWING.
YOU CAN TELL, CAN'T YOU.
NO?
I CAN, SHE'S LIKE -- NOT ONLY A SMILE, NOT ONLY THAT.
THERE IS SOMETHING COMPARED TO SOMEONE WHO IS DEAD.
THEY ARE LIKE DUST.
IMAGINE THE LIGHT BEFORE THERE WAS SIN.
NOW ADAM AND EVE HAD NO PHYSICAL CLOTHES ON BUT THEY COULDN'T SEE
THEIR NAKEDNESS.
THEIR LIGHT WAS SO BRIGHT.
AND WHEN THEY SINNED THEY WENT, YOU ARE NAKED.
THE LIGHT WAS MUTED.
WHICH IS WHAT IT IS NOW.
THAT'S WHY WE SEE EACH OTHER THE WAY WE DO.
AND THEY HID THEMSELVES FROM THE PRESENCE FROM THE LORD GOD,
ANSWER, CAN YOU HIDE YOUR THOUGHTS FROM LORD GOD, CAN YOU
HIDE YOUR INTENTIONS?
CAN YOU HIDE YOUR ACTIONS?
WHY EVERY SINGLE DAY DO YOU TRY.
MY WIFE AND I HAVE THREE CHILDREN.
OUR OLDEST DAUGHTER, MY WIFE WAS IN LABOR 12 HOURS AND THE SECOND
IN LABOR 24 HOURS AND THIRD CHILD TWO DAYS IN LABOR.
I WAS PRAISING THE LORD JESUS THAT I AM A MAN.
THE LORD JESUS.
SO MY SON'S HEAD, THE THIRD ONE, 49 HOURS, HIS HEAD WAS STUCK
FIVE HOURS.
AND WHEN HE WAS BORN, WHEN HE WAS BORN, I MEAN HIS HEAD WAS
LIKE 49% OF HIS WEIGHT.
USUALLY A BABY'S HEAD IS 30%, GIVE OR TAKE A THIRD.
THAT'S WHY A BABY IS SO CUTE.
NEXT TIME YOU SEE AN INFANT ON THE SLY, LOOK AT THEIR HEAD.
COMPARED TO THE REST OF THEIR BODY.
IF YOUR HEAD WAS ONE-THIRD OF YOUR WEIGHT, YOU WILL BE IN
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.
HIS FOREHEAD WOULD RUB ON THE CARPET, WALK LIKE THAT.
FOR REAL.
WE WOULD PROJECT MOVIES ON HIS FOREHEAD AND GET THE 3-D EFFECT,
MAKE YOUR EYE BROWS UP.
HE WAS RUNNING AROUND ONE DAY LIKE THIS AND MY OTHER DAUGHTER,
THEY WERE RUNNING AROUND.
YOU BETTER STOP RUNNING AROUND, AND WE HAVE FUN.
OKAY, YOU HAVE THIS LITTLE GIRL RUNNING AROUND AND THIS BIG
SLEDGE HAMMER RUNNING AROUND.
SOMETHING BAD IS GOING ON HAPPEN.
SURE ENOUGH, MY DAUGHTER IS ON THE FLOOR, AND HER HEAD IS
BLEEDING AND MY SON HAS SLOBBER.
SO WE REINVENTED HIDE AND SEEK, FOR HOW YOU PLAYED IT.
YOU WOULD SAY OKAY, THE TREE IS BASE, Y'ALL HIDE AND YOU HAVE TO
GET BACK TO THE BASE BEFORE SOMEONE TAGS YOU.
THAT'S WEAK.
WE CHANGED IT.
SO WE DID IT, THIS IS LIKE WHEN WE KIDS WERE FOUR, FIVE AND
THREE.
WE WOULD TURN ALL THE LIGHTS OFF IN THE HOUSE.
THEY WOULD HIDE, AND WHO WAS LOOKING FOR YOU, YOU HAD TO
SCARE THEM.
MY KIDS WOULD CRY.
THEY WERE TRAUMATIZED.
YEAH, THIS IS HIDE AND SEEK.
THIS IS WORTH PLAYING.
SO MY SON CAME UP TO ME WITH HIS GIGANTIC HEAD.
HEY DAD, HEY DAD, LET'S PLAY HIDE AND SEEK.
I AM LIKE BROTHER, WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO HIDE?
I MEAN YOU ARE GOING TO BE BEHIND THE GARAGE OR SUBURBAN,
THAT'S IT, NO PLACE TO GO.
LET'S PLAY HIDE AND SEEK, BUT I AM GOING TO MAKE YOU CRY.
HE'S OKAY.
I CAN HEAR HIM WALKING THROUGH THE HOUSE, HIS HEAD IS BANGING
ON THE HALL.
AND GOES THROUGH THE DOORWAY AND HAS TO SQUEEZE THROUGH THE
DOORWAY AND HAS HEAD IS LIKE THAT THROUGH THE DOORWAY.
GO AHEAD, I AM COUNTING.
THIS I DID THIS SERMON ONE TIME AT YOUTH CAMP AND THIS KID CAME
UP TO ME AND CRYING.
AND HE SAID, YOU TALKED ABOUT YOUR SON LIKE THAT.
AND I SAID HE LIKES IT.
BUT IF AN ADULT COMES UP AND I SAY, MIND YOUR BUSINESS.
MY SON LOVES IT.
DAD, TALK ABOUT MY HEAD, HE'S 25 AND A SAN DIEGO POLICE OFFICER,
HE'S FINE, OKAY.
BUT WHEN YOU PLAY HIDE AND SEEK, YOU HAVE TO COUNT LIKE A CHILD.
ONE, TWO, FREE, FOUR -- ONE.
MY SON WITH HIS KINGDOM STADIUM-SIZED HEAD HIDES BEHIND
A PLANT LIKE THIS AND HAS HIS HANDS OVER HIS EYES -- HE CAN'T
SEE US.
MY DAUGHTER IS HIDING BEHIND HIS HEAD.
SHE DOESN'T EVEN CROUCH, SHE'S DANCING.
COLORING.
AND HIS HEAD GOT HER HIDDEN.
HE CAN'T SEE US.
I AM WALKING THROUGH THE HOUSE, WHERE IS MILES.
HIS HEAD IS EXTENDED INTO THE HALLWAY AND I AM LEANING ON HIS
HEAD BUT BECAUSE HIS SKIN ON HIS HEAD IS SO FAR AWAY FROM HIS
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM IT HAS NO FEELINGS.
HE'S LIKE -- HE CAN'T SEE US.
HE CAN'T SEE US.
THE REASON HE DOESN'T THINK I CAN SEE HIM IS BECAUSE HE CAN'T
SEE ME.
LITTLE KIDS CAN'T THINK ABSTRACTLY AND THEY DON'T
UNDERSTAND THERE ARE THINGS THAT THEY DON'T SEE EXIST.
WHEN MOMMY LEAVES THE ROOM, MOMMY IS GONE.
IF THEY ARE PLAYING HIDE-AND-SEEK AND THEY DON'T SEE
YOU, THEY WILL LOOK ALL OVER.
WE UNDERSTAND THERE IS A GOD THAT WE DON'T SEE, BUT HE
EXISTS.
BUT YOU FORGET.
HE CAN'T SEE ME.
AND YOU ACTUALLY NOT ONLY THINK THINGS AS THOUGH HE CAN'T HEAR
YOU THINKING.
YOU PHYSICALLY DO THINGS, YOU ACTUALLY WILL GET OUT OF YOUR
CAR AND -- AND GOD IS LIKE, HELLO.
HE'S WHERE YOU WERE AND WHERE YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU ARE GOING
AT THE SAME TIME.
AND WE FORGET.
WHY?
BECAUSE WE CAN'T SEE HIM.
AND THE DEVIL TRICKS YOU.
YOU ARE GOOD.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SAY.
I AM.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE?
WRONG.
BUSTED.
NUMBER ONE WEAPON, EVERY SINGLE DAY.
TODAY PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR THOUGHTS.
PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR EYES.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
WHEN YOU TALK, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING.
WHEN YOU THINK, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING.
GOD KNOWS ALL OF THAT.
ASK YOURSELF IF THIS IS HONORING GOD OR NOT.
IF IT'S NOT HONORING GOD, STOP.
AND THEN IT SAYS, THE LORD SAID ADAM WHERE ARE YOU.
HE DIDN'T ASK YOU WHAT ROCK YOU ARE BEHIND.
HE ASKED ARE YOU BETTER OFF WHEN YOU DID WHAT I ASKED YOU NOT TO
DO.
IN YOUTH CAMP DANNY WAS A WHITE KID WITH RED HAIR AND FRECKLES
-- ACTUALLY HE WAS NOT WHITE, HE WAS CLEAR.
THAT BROTHER WAS PALE.
MAN OF GOD.
MAN OF GOD.
HE WAS A KID.
HE GOT INTO A MEXICAN GANG.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
A CLEAR, RED-HAIR, RED-FRECKLED, OPPIE-LOOKING DUDE IN A MEXICAN
GANG.
I WAS IN A JUVENILE HALL AND I WAS TALKING ABOUT DANNY AND I
DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT TO THE SUBJECT.
AND THEY SAID, HE'S DOWN THE HALL.
THIS IS A TRUE STORY.
I ASKED THE COACH, THEY CALLED THE STAFF COACHES.
HE GETS HIM OUT OF THE CELL AND WALKS IN THE ROOM.
A KID WHOSE PICTURE I HAVE TO THIS DAY 8 X 10 IN MEXICO WITH
BIBLES IN THEIR HANDS.
TO THIS DAY I HAVE THIS PICTURE.
AND HE WALKS IN THE ROOM AND TATTOOED AND JACKED UP AND SITS
IN THE FRONT ROW, BROKE MY HEART.
DANNY, YOU REMEMBER GOING TO BIBLE STUDY AND WORSHIPING,
YEAH.
DANNY, I WANT TO ASK YOU ONE QUESTION, ARE YOU HAPPIER NOW
DOING THIS DOING WHAT YOU WERE BEFORE OR WALKING WITH GOD.
AND BY THE WAY, DANNY, IF YOU SAY YOU ARE HAPPIER NOW, I WILL
NEVER PICK THIS BOOK UP IN MY LIFE.
WHAT DID HE SAY?
HE SAYS, I WAS HAPPY BEFORE.
OF COURSE YOU WERE.
BECAUSE YOU WERE DOING WHAT GOD CREATED YOU TO DO.
AND NOW YOU ARE DOING WHAT THE DEVIL WANTS YOU TO DO.
AND HE DECEIVES YOU.
THIS COULD APPLY TO GANG MEMBERS OR ANYONE, WHAT IS YOUR FUTURE.
I AM GOING TO PRISON.
THAT IS CRAZY.
IT'S CRAZY.
BLACK, MEXICAN, WHITE, WHATEVER IT IS.
YEAH, I AM PROUD OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO, YOU ARE GOING TO DIE OR PRISON AND
FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO DO THAT.
AND THEN RECRUIT YOUNG KIDS LIKE YOU TO DIE OR GO TO PRISON.
THAT'S CRAZY.
IT'S CRAZY.
NOW IT APPLIES TO ALL OF YOU TOO.
YOU ARE GOING TO CHEAT ON YOUR WIFE.
IT'S GOING TO RUIN YOUR LIFE.
YOU ARE GOING TO DO DRUGS.
IT'S GOING TO RUIN YOUR LIFE.
IT IS.
IF YOU GO AGAINST GOD, YOU WILL LOSE.
YOU CAN'T FIGHT.
BUT THE DEVIL CONVINCES YOU TO DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
AND THEN HE KILLS YOU.
AND THEN GOD SAYS, BUT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, I WANT TO GIVE YOU
A CHANCE.
I STILL WANT TO LOVE YOU TODAY.
AND HERE IS ADAM, GOD SAYS, ADAM ARE YOU BETTER OFF?
TELL ME ARE YOU HAPPIER NOW THAN DOING WHAT I WANTED WHEN YOU
WALKED WITH ME.
ADAM SAID I WAS AFRAID AND I WAS NAKED.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE NAKED.
THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE RUNNING FROM ME BECAUSE YOU DID WHAT I
TOLD YOU NOT TO DO.
AND YOU SUFFERED THE CONSEQUENCES I TOLD YOU, YOU
WOULD SUFFER.
YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME, ADAM.
AND THEN HE SAYS, THE WOMAN MADE ME DO IT.
FELLAS, YOU NEED TO BE A MAN.
STOP BLAMING THE WOMAN.
STOP BLAMING YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, STOP BLAMING YOUR DADDY.
SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I WILL STAND UP FOR MY SIN.
I DID IT.
DO WE HAVE DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES?
YES, BUT GOD SAYS HE WILL NOT TEMPT YOU BEYOND WHAT YOU CAN
TAKE.
AND THEN ADAM SAID THE WOMAN MADE ME DO IT.
AND DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO HIM.
WOMAN YOU ARE GOING TO SUFFER, AND LADIES WHEN YOU LABOR -- YOU
HAVE TO TALK TO EVE.
THAT'S A CONSEQUENCE OF THE SIN.
HE SAID MAN, AND WOMAN AND DEVIL, YOU ARE ALL GOING TO PAY,
BECAUSE WHAT YOU DID, YOU DID ON YOUR OWN.
HERE WE ARE TODAY.
YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY LORD, I DON'T WANT TO BE SUBJECT
TO THE LIES OF THE DEVIL AND DIE AND BE IN SLAVERY TO THE
CONSEQUENCES OF MY SIN.
WE WILL PRAY IN A MINUTE, AND YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY
JESUS, I SURRENDER MY LIFE TO YOU.
BECAUSE THE DEVIL HAS BEEN LYING TO ME.
AND HE'S TRYING TO DESTROY YOU.
SO YOU CAN MAKE A CHOICE TO KEEP BELIEVING THE LIE OF THE DEVIL.
OR SAY, I WILL BELIEVE THE TRUTH OF GOD.
ALL CAMPUSES YOU WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, JESUS,
PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR MY SIN.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR BELIEVING IN THE LIE.
THE ONLY WAY I CAN COVER MY SIN IS BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST,
HE PAID THE PENALTY FOR MY SIN.
JESUS PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
ALL CAMPUSES PLEASE CLOSE YOUR EYES AND BOW YOUR HEAD.
AND LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY.
LORD, WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TRUTH.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORD.
WE THANK YOU THAT YOU TELL US ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT
OF THE GLORY OF GOD.
SIN DOES HAVE A CONSEQUENCE.
THE DEVIL LIED WHEN HE SAID IT DOESN'T.
BUT THE BIBLE SAYS THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS AND
ROSE FROM THE DEAD.
HE PAID THAT CONSEQUENCE FOR US.
AND WE DON'T NEED TO LIVE IN DECEPTION AND BONDAGE AND
SLAVERY.
AND YOU WANT TO FORGIVE US.
SO RIGHT NOW IF YOU ARE SAYING YES, I DON'T WANT TO LIVE
BELIEVING THAT LIE.
I WANT TO FOLLOW THE TRUTH.
AND JESUS SAYS, I AM THE TRUTH, THE WAY AND THE LIGHT.
SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK CHRIST TO BE YOUR SAVIOR, IF YOU
WOULD LIKE TO BE SET FREE OF THE LIE OF THE DEVIL.
PRAY THIS PRAYER WITH ME IN YOUR HEART.
SAY, DEAR GOD, I KNOW THAT I AM A SINNER.
AND I KNOW THAT MY SIN IS WRONG.
BUT I BELIEVE THAT JESUS LOVES ME.
THAT HE DIED FOR MY SIN.
AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD.
JESUS, PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
SET ME FREE FROM THE LIE.
BRING ME INTO THE TRUTH.
I SURRENDER MY LIFE TO YOU.
THANK YOU, GOD.
AS OUR EYES ARE CLOSED AND OUR HEADS ARE BOWED, IF YOU PRAYED
THAT PRAYER IN A MINUTE.
I WILL ASK YOU TO STAND, AND BY STANDING, YOU ARE SAYING, YES, I
WILL STAND ON THE TRUTH OF GOD AND NOT THE LIE OF THE DEVIL.
AND I WANT TO WALK WITH GOD AND NOT THE COUNSEL OF THE DEVIL.
RIGHT NOW WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED, STAND TO YOUR FEET.
AND ACKNOWLEDGE GOD'S GIFT TO YOU YOUR LIFE AND THAT HE SET
YOU FREE.
VERY GOOD, GOD BLESS YOU, GOD BLESS YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU.
STAY STANDING.
WE SEE YOU IN THE BALCONY AS WELL.
GOD BLESS YOU.
VERY GOOD, GOD BLESS YOU.
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU.
VERY GOOD.
GOOD, GOD BLESS YOU.
AND NOW ASK THOSE STANDING TO COME TO THE ALTAR, IF YOU ARE IN
THE BALCONY, STAND UP AND THE USHERS WILL BRING YOU DOWN.
NOW STAND AND COME TO THE ALTAR AND GIVE THEM A HAND.
[APPLAUSE]
AMEN.
STAY RIGHT HERE, STAY RIGHT HERE.
COME ON.
GOD BLESS YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU.
STAND RIGHT THERE, THERE YOU GO.
GOD BLESS YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
GOD BLESS YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU.
HOW YOU DOING.
[APPLAUSE]
GOD BLESS YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
GOD BLESS YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
GOD BLESS YOU.
AMEN.
GOD BLESS YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU.
AMEN.
GOD BLESS YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU.
AMEN.
AMEN.
[APPLAUSE]
GOD LOVES EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU.
HE LOVES EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU.
AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE TURN OUR BACK ON GOD, HE IS READY FOR
YOU.
HE WANTS TO LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN ASK OR IMAGINE.
HE'S NOT CONFUSED OR WHAT I WANT TO DO NOW.
HE'S GOT IT READY FOR YOU, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS OBEY HIM.
THE NUMBER ONE COMMANDMENT IN THE BIBLE IS TO LOVE GOD WITH
ALL OF YOUR HEART AND SOUL.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU FEELING IT.
AND ONE REASON PEOPLE GET DIVORCED, I DON'T FEEL IT.
NO, YOU MADE A COMMITMENT, YOU STAY.
THE BIBLE SAYS FOR BETTER OR WORSE.
WE DON'T IT, WE DON'T KEEP OUR WORD.
WHEN YOU SAY GOD I LOVE YOU.
YOU ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH PAIN.
THAT'S WHEN YOU HOLD ON TO GOD.
SO WE WILL PRAY FOR ALL OF YOU, AND WE WILL LEAD YOU OUT.
AND IF YOU ARE A VISITOR, WE ARE NOT DONE UNTIL AFTER WE PRAY.
COME BACK NEXT WEEK, WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE AGREEMENT YOU
HAVE WITH THE DEVIL.
YOU HAVE A CONTRACT, NOT NECESSARILY ON A PIECE OF PAPER,
BUT YOU HAVE AGREEMENTS WITH THE DEVIL.
AND BECAUSE OF THOSE AGREEMENTS YOU ARE SUFFERING, WE NEED TO
BREAK THEM.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT NEXT WEEK.
LORD, THANK YOU FOR THESE PEOPLE, THANK YOU FOR THEIR
FAITHFULNESS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOODNESS.
THANK YOU FOR TRUTH.
AND LORD, I PRAY YOU OPEN ALL OF OUR EYES UP TO THE TIMES THAT WE
THINK WE KNOW RIGHT AND WRONG ON OUR OWN.
OPEN OUR EYES TO HOW WE ARE TRYING TO GET AWAY WITH STUFF
THAT WE ARE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH.
OPEN OUR EYES THAT WE MIGHT SEE OUR OWN SIN AND WALK THE OTHER
WAY.
TEACH US TO BE HOLY OBEDIENT MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD.
AND IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
TURN RIGHT AND WALK THIS WAY.
