[SPEAKER_00]: Let's all now turn.
[SPEAKER_00]: The first Corinthians, chapter 15 versus 45 through 49.
[SPEAKER_00]: First Corinthians, chapter 15, 45 through 49.
[SPEAKER_00]: And once you have found that, if you can please stand on to the reading of God's word, and it says, so it is written, the first Adam,
[SPEAKER_00]: was made a living soul.
[SPEAKER_00]: The last Adam, that's Jesus.
[SPEAKER_00]: The last Adam was made a life-giving spirit.
[SPEAKER_00]: However, that which is spiritual is not first, but the natural and then the spiritual.
[SPEAKER_00]: The first man was of the earth, made of dust.
[SPEAKER_00]: The second man was of the Lord from heaven.
[SPEAKER_00]: as was the man of dust, so are those who are of dust.
[SPEAKER_00]: As is the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven.
[SPEAKER_00]: As we have been born, the image of the man of dust, we shall also be bear the image of the man of heaven.
[SPEAKER_00]: God bless and honor the reading was word and you may be seated.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is speaking about Adam, the original Adam, Adam the man from Genesis.
[SPEAKER_00]: And a speaking about Jesus who came to take this place to give a salvation.
[SPEAKER_00]: They call him the last Adam or the second Adam, depending on how you will look at it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And speaks of this often because Adam didn't do what he should have done, which is lead us,
[SPEAKER_00]: And the way to live, he brought us, brought sin to the world.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so therefore, we see that Jesus had to do, what Adam did not, could not, in that sense.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why they called Jesus the last Adam.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is Memorial Day.
[SPEAKER_00]: Memorial Day weekend that is Memorial Day is tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mentioned some of this a year ago.
[SPEAKER_00]: So some will be repeated, so it is not.
[SPEAKER_00]: Memorial Day is a federal holiday.
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, the USA, and it honors and mourns, if you will, the US military members who died while serving in the armed forces.
[SPEAKER_00]: On the last Monday of May, so when it is, that's what they decided on, originally.
[SPEAKER_00]: Memorial Day was called Declaration Day.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what they call it originally.
[SPEAKER_00]: Originally, Declaration Day was focused to remember those who died during the Civil War.
[SPEAKER_00]: I spoke about that last year a little bit, but today we're going to remember every soldier of God.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to remember every soldier of God.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, people, like I said earlier, they remember the people who've passed, not just those who are soldiers, they remember those who've passed who we remember, that's okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't bother me.
[SPEAKER_00]: It bothers some.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen them on Facebook and other things.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not for anyone who's died.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then this is not just for every soldier, it's for those soldiers who died during combat or those who died during service and they are technically correct.
[SPEAKER_00]: but I think people get a little worked up sometimes because they say, they're acting as if this is veterans day and they could buy veterans there's one more they're technically correct in a sense.
[SPEAKER_00]: but let's just be glad that people remember and those who served at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because there are some who don't, you know, there are some in this world and in this nation who think poorly of the servicemen at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it should be glad that they remember them.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there it would also be very grateful that people would remember the dead at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: There are some people who are so arrogant that they don't think about their loved ones after they passed out like, ah, it's all about me, me, me, me, me.
[SPEAKER_00]: uh, they have eye problems, you know.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's, that's an issue.
[SPEAKER_00]: It should buy glasses for that, but different high problems, but they, they really do have a problem.
[SPEAKER_00]: A real issue.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're so arrogant.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't care about their grandmother grandfather once they're gone.
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll care about their mom and daddy.
[SPEAKER_00]: As long as they, they are all about themselves, the problem with that is, though, where they realize they're not, they're going to have problems with themselves.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, in the, this
[SPEAKER_00]: in the service of the Father.
[SPEAKER_00]: They have fallen in the service of Father.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what's interesting, those memorial day is really about those who followed in the service of our country.
[SPEAKER_00]: But we're going to think about those who have fallen in the service of the Father.
[SPEAKER_00]: The interesting thing is, they may have fallen in the service because of Christian and soldiers to always be serving God.
[SPEAKER_00]: But really, they haven't fallen in the service in the sense that they have died in a so sad that they've died.
[SPEAKER_00]: Really, when a soldier has passed, we should be sad for them.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're sad for us because we missed them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Really we should be glad for them.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's easier said than done.
[SPEAKER_00]: I miss so many of I've been dreaming this week.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's because I had this sermon prepared.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's because I've been thinking about my dad and so many others.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know what?
[SPEAKER_00]: All this week I've been dreaming about different ones and this building combined with a couple other buildings we've had in church, one was just a little room, one was a second buildings where I met Jeremy and others.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's interesting how in my dreams I've been combined in all those places and a few others.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I've been seeing a bunch of people who I've known.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen Brother Randy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen my father, I've seen my grandmother, I've seen Jeremy's grandmother, I've seen a few other people who I haven't seen in years, decades even some of them.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I know I'm gonna see him again.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so therefore I'm not sad anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad because I know I'm gonna see him again.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're waiting for me.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're waiting for you, people who you haven't seen, who know Jesus Christ of your personal or Savior.
[SPEAKER_00]: They are waiting, you're going to see him again.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's going to be a great reunion, and you're going to see him again.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe your grandmother and grandfather, your father, your mother, no Jesus.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so therefore, you will know them again.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're going to recognize them.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's going to be a great day.
[SPEAKER_00]: This year, I will remind you of the wonderful reunion you have.
[SPEAKER_00]: We will be reunited again with the Saints.
[SPEAKER_00]: That as I say, the soldiers of Christ, I'm not talking about those if the Roman Catholics called a saint, the saint or whatever.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'd be surprised to have the saint to clean access because they made a saint of everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm talking about the fact that when you are born again by the blood of Jesus, you are a saint, according to God, it says that the old and the New Testament.
[SPEAKER_00]: Where did the then Christian come from?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let me tell you where the Jews and the Romans were mocking those who asked Jesus to be the Lord Savior.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they started saying, Oh, they believe in Christ.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll call them Christians.
[SPEAKER_00]: They were mocking them.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know what the Christians did?
[SPEAKER_00]: Those who were saved the saints, they said, Oh, I like it.
[SPEAKER_00]: They took it and they put it on them and they wore it.
[SPEAKER_00]: They wore it.
[SPEAKER_00]: They said, yes, I'm a Christian.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a proud Christian.
[SPEAKER_00]: There was to the lions, Romans.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to praise the Lord God as we go and they did.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because that's what a Christian soldier needs to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Where they name a Christ on them proudly.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they did.
[SPEAKER_00]: So today's sermon is called, remember the righteous reunion.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I want you to remember the righteous reunion because that's what happened.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what's going to happen.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's going to be our righteous reunion.
[SPEAKER_00]: You mean your righteous, don't jump ahead, we'll get to that in a moment, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: Every Christian, a saint, every soldier, your soldiers and God, you're a saint, because you've been born again, bought with a blood of Jesus, bought with his wonderfulness, and you have nothing to worry about.
[SPEAKER_00]: because Jesus is good when you're not.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now let's see what it says in Psalm 116, Psalm 116, 14 through 15.
[SPEAKER_00]: Psalm 116 written by David by the way.
[SPEAKER_00]: Psalm 116, 14 through 15.
[SPEAKER_00]: David says, I will pay my vows into the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now in the presence of all his people, precious in the side of the Lord,
[SPEAKER_00]: That's you.
[SPEAKER_00]: What does Saints mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I told you before.
[SPEAKER_00]: I told you last week.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll tell you again.
[SPEAKER_00]: Saints means godly ones.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're a saint.
[SPEAKER_00]: But pastor, if you only knew my bad habits.
[SPEAKER_00]: Pastor, if you only knew the things I sometimes say when I get mad.
[SPEAKER_00]: Pastor, if you only knew some of the habits I'm trying to break.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll give it in to God.
[SPEAKER_00]: I understand, believe it or not, I got habits, I've got things, there's things, all of this.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're all have sinned fall towards the Lord of God, Romans 3, 23.
[SPEAKER_00]: Every sin of the waters, there's none right, just no, not one.
[SPEAKER_00]: The one you say, the right, just for you, and we'll get to that.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll get to that, hang on now.
[SPEAKER_00]: What does it mean to be a godly one?
[SPEAKER_00]: Where to be godly, to be godly is to be saved by righteous, faith in God.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is the righteous one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Our faith is in the righteous one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus, now let's turn to Ephesians.
[SPEAKER_00]: Chapter four.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ephesians chapter four.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't worry, we'll go to Ephesians chapter six.
[SPEAKER_00]: We do that, but you know,
[SPEAKER_00]: Six are excuse me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Feet and chapter four, seven through 16.
[SPEAKER_00]: Feet and four, seven through 16.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I love this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause this is talking about the church.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all it does to save momentary Bible Baptist church.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it doesn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's talking about the church itself.
[SPEAKER_00]: That means the same ones, the saints, those who gather together, we are all one family.
[SPEAKER_00]: That means the momentary Bible Baptist church, tower of you,
[SPEAKER_00]: Play com a Baptist, all those who've as Jesus Christ into the heart, those who are over there in Germany, those who are over there in California, okay, we may not all believe the exact same things, except for one very important thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: They know without a shadow of it out, there's one way into heaven, and that's what Jesus Christ our Lord in Savior.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some people may be incorrect in certain little new toads.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the most important thing is that Jesus Christ is our Savior.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the only way in the heaven.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you need to be careful because there's some people who will change things and say, it's by your actions that you're safe.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't mix it up now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't mix it up.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's through Christ and Christ alone that you can get to heaven.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not because you're so good because you're not.
[SPEAKER_00]: past your hurt my feelings.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't mean to hurt your feelings by telling the truth.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes I hurt my own feelings by reading the truth.
[SPEAKER_00]: But guess what?
[SPEAKER_00]: That's okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: The truth is the truth.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to lie to anybody.
[SPEAKER_00]: But Haster, when you're on the phone the other day with this crazy person who was telling you that they were born a woman in a man's body, it really hurt their feelings when you said that's not true.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know it did, but I had to tell them that they're calling out a liar.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had to tell him the truth that God loves him, despite the fact that, and I didn't say this word, but despite the fact that they're a little crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: The fact is, they don't know the truth because Satan's lying to him.
[SPEAKER_00]: Folks, Satan's lying to him.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that person, despite the fact that he thinks he's a, he's a she.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he doesn't think that, poor soul.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't hate that, man.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't hate anything about him, except I hate the fact that the devil's lying to the poor guy.
[SPEAKER_00]: The guy really believed he was born in the wrong body and that God was wrong and he thinks he's a she.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got to pray for that man.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, if you really nice in loving, you'll say she, she, no, won't.
[SPEAKER_00]: I won't lie to him because God says, now, shall I not bear false witness.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not gonna do it, but it hurts his feelings.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry, I'm sorry that you're so emotional, but I know that I know it sounds rude.
[SPEAKER_00]: the truth sometimes is.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I know this.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to lie.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's not read this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Chapter 4 verse 7, 3, 16.
[SPEAKER_00]: But grace was given to each one of us, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
[SPEAKER_00]: Therefore, he says,
[SPEAKER_00]: when He, that means He is when He ascended on high, He let captivity have to.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Gibbs gives to men in saying He ascended, what does it mean, but that He also descended, first into the lower parts of the earth, He who descended is also He who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.
[SPEAKER_00]: profits.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, there's comments.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want you to see that, evangelists, pastors, and teachers will have different gifts.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, different callings, verse 2, for the equipping of the saints that you for the work of service and for the building up of the body of Christ, that's the church, until we all come into the unity of the faith,
[SPEAKER_00]: and of the knowledge of the Son of God and to a complete man and to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got to grow.
[SPEAKER_00]: We can't stay babies.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can, can you imagine
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never seen Laurel Hardy, remember them?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll lower Laurel and Hardy.
[SPEAKER_00]: What's wrong, Laurel?
[SPEAKER_00]: But I remember whenever you would see them, sometimes playing his babies, and they'd be wearing diapers all you remember.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you'll see stand up, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm not talking about a mental status.
[SPEAKER_00]: Someone who's really having problems, but I'm talking about, you see there are some Christians who are still sitting in a high chair in the diaper, and they believe themselves to be baby Christians because they've not grown up spiritually.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen a lot of Christians who are sitting there in diapers when they should be, by this point, time growing up, and I gotta tell you the truth.
[SPEAKER_00]: I sit back there with the little kids teaching them and I was growing up.
[SPEAKER_00]: partially retarded in the spirit of speaking, in the sense that I allowed myself to be lazy and grow up slowly until God finally said, Son, you gotta grow up.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't stay back there being a child while you're teaching the children.
[SPEAKER_00]: You gotta be an adult.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't stay in a childlike status.
[SPEAKER_00]: You gotta grow up.
[SPEAKER_00]: So guess what I had to do?
[SPEAKER_00]: I had to be party trained.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I know on being where you got to be party trained.
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got to pick off these crazy ways of living.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to grow up spiritually speaking.
[SPEAKER_00]: So just saints, you've got to do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't forever be in basic training.
[SPEAKER_00]: At some point time, time to pick the pinkie out of your mouth.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mama's told me stories about when we were going either out to California or back out of recall.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was a little over one or whatnot.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't recall.
[SPEAKER_00]: We were not.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I apparently, they're trying to break me from the bottle.
[SPEAKER_00]: Back then, bottles were glass.
[SPEAKER_00]: and they said that I just took a bottle and the windows down and I took the bottle and I threw it out the window and they said it broke apparently and they said that when they have to say well that's it.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's off the bottle.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they said, I won and cried and moaned, and they said, that's fine, they got me a little sip and cup, and that's how they broke me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because my own bullheadedness, even then.
[SPEAKER_00]: And here's the deal.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes, God has to break you from your sin.
[SPEAKER_00]: He has to let you throw your little sin out the window, and he tries to break you into something new to grow up a bit.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how has to be sometimes Christian?
[SPEAKER_00]: Say, I'll have to be.
[SPEAKER_00]: and I digress.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go.
[SPEAKER_00]: Verse 14.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we may no longer be children tossed here and there by waves and carried about with the every wind of doctrine by the trickery of men.
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop for a second.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: So here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Earlier on, I was talking to a senator school.
[SPEAKER_00]: Be careful who you listen to today.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was trying to watch Dr. David Jeremiah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Adrian Rogers, Charles Stanley, listen, listen, listen.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, Dr. Dr. Charles Stanley, I love you.
[SPEAKER_00]: But here's, here I did.
[SPEAKER_00]: But here's the thing, whenever there was another minister came on, I guess you could call her.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not a big fan of this individual, but I finally,
[SPEAKER_00]: to unfollow this thing because I'm not going to listen to this gal and not just because he's a gal okay but she's allowed gal who anyway doesn't matter but the point is is that I don't follow all for doctrine because I'm going to be a doctor and I don't like when people try to change the Bible be careful who you listen to but it has a cross on the picture
[SPEAKER_00]: Well guess what?
[SPEAKER_00]: The devil himself quoted the Bible, miscoded it, just because it has a cross on the picture, be very careful, very careful, know the word and that way you know when you're hearing the word and when it's not quite right.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you ever heard people who sing a song?
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember the 1990s.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like 92, 93.
[SPEAKER_00]: a big fan of the Eagles.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the Eagles.
[SPEAKER_00]: Brother Randy and I were listening to the Eagles together.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the last thing he gave me was a CD of the Eagles.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'd be able to listen to all of it because I feel that whenever I listen to the whole end of it, it'll be the last of what Randy gave me.
[SPEAKER_00]: And now, so I want to have it to enjoy.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that being said,
[SPEAKER_00]: when the Eagles were about to come back for their first reunion CD, before they did that, some people, country people, had decided to make some remakes of their songs.
[SPEAKER_00]: I hated it, because I'm glad that people made a pocketer game, but,
[SPEAKER_00]: I hated hearing Garth Brooks and others, I'm not a big Garth Brooks, I hated hearing Garth Brooks and others mutilate their songs.
[SPEAKER_00]: It didn't sound right, it didn't sound right to eagles and it was, I'm used to hearing the eagles singing.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, I don't want it on the eagles song.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well that is what happens a lot of times when people take the gospel.
[SPEAKER_00]: and they change a word here of there and they change the meaning of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It sounds like someone trying to sing a good eagle song or an Elvis song or something else.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they change the note, the tune to whatever.
[SPEAKER_00]: When it's not hitting all the right notes and you know the song, you know when it's wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: Amen.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the way it is when you know the gospel and you hear the gospel and one of the notes is it right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because the Holy Spirit said, oh, that's the wrong note.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's the wrong tune.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, something's not hit right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Amen.
[SPEAKER_00]: I say that to say this, know the word.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so that when Satan is not harmonizing correctly, when Satan is miscocting it, when Satan is trying to get you off the right words, that you know it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when Eve is adding a word to what God said, you know it's wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, where was I here?
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, 14, now 15,
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, so we may no longer be children to us here and there by waves and carried off carried by the, uh, every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness with the seeful scheming, but speaking the truth and love we may grow up.
[SPEAKER_00]: and all things unto him who is the head Christ Himself.
[SPEAKER_00]: Love doesn't mean you're so loving that you lie about what you're standing, what you're not saying, just is feeling loving.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it means.
[SPEAKER_00]: Be honest.
[SPEAKER_00]: Speak, what does it say?
[SPEAKER_00]: Speak in the truth in love.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a lie in love.
[SPEAKER_00]: The truth in love.
[SPEAKER_00]: From whom the whole body is joined together and connected by every joint and ligament as every part effectively does, it's work and grows building itself up in love.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's important to be loving.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've also seen the other side of things.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen people who come up so legalistic, and so unloving that it turns everybody off.
[SPEAKER_00]: You ever go to gym and you see these trainers who are like, you're going to do this, there's this, you're going to do 25 push-ups now now now.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're like, not me, not me, not me, I'm out, I'm out, I'm out, that sounds some Christians are.
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got to do the kicker, man.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm scared of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're so overboard that it makes you like, I'm out.
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't do this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you cannot get saved by what you do, but what he has done, and he's got to be grace and love with the passion.
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, and we're not going to go through it all.
[SPEAKER_00]: We already went through it last week.
[SPEAKER_00]: In Ephesians 6, 10 through 20, we won't go through it all.
[SPEAKER_00]: It talks about being a soldier of the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: It talks about putting on the helmet of salvation.
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, in a row, it talks about having the belt of truth.
[SPEAKER_00]: So as we have in the shoes of readiness of peace, it talks about having the breastplate of righteousness, the hell in the salvation, talks about having the shield of faith.
[SPEAKER_00]: And what does the sword, sword is the word of God?
[SPEAKER_00]: We need to make sure that we all just have the word of God, because that's all of it is the word of God.
[SPEAKER_00]: We need to all is make sure that we are protected.
[SPEAKER_00]: Make sure you're always protected.
[SPEAKER_00]: And do or hard times, like this, and do or hard times, I'll say it one more time, say to Timothy 2 through through four.
[SPEAKER_00]: And do or hard times is a good soldier of Jesus Christ, no soldier on active duty and tangles himself with civilian affairs that he may please the enlisting officer.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the Lord God Jesus.
[SPEAKER_00]: Even to subdue all things to himself, the Lord God Jesus,
[SPEAKER_00]: make sure that he enlist us to serve him and we want to make him happy, but we're not going to get involved with the ways of the world, no, no, no, for a good soldier, we're going to be good in the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember the same did soldiers.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the next part.
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember the same to soldiers.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes he goes to remember those who fall in.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, we get to think in a sad way and it's understandable.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're human.
[SPEAKER_00]: We get to
[SPEAKER_00]: You might miss your dad like I knew.
[SPEAKER_00]: You might miss your mama if she's gone.
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you grandma, you're grandpa, whoever else, name him, you got him, you're right in your heart.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're brother, you're sister, you're aunt, whoever, a friend, a neighbor, whoever it might be.
[SPEAKER_00]: But if they are home in heaven, you know, I'm no reason to be overcome with grief.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, I'm not insulting you if you're sad.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing wrong with that.
[SPEAKER_00]: to be sad for your sake, but you need to also remember the gladness that you can be overcome with joy because you'll see them again.
[SPEAKER_00]: What I used to go to reunion with things, I've been very, was a happy day if it was one day thing and sometimes it's more than that, but usually it was one day thing, if it was a coups of reunion, let's say, it was usually the last Saturday and May or sometimes the first Saturday and June usually.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I remember being super excited because it was the first of the summer.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we was excited.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we would go there.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the day was wonderful.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was really happy because Adam would be there.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was what I was really happy because I was excited for a couple of reasons.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was my age, basically a little younger.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was black.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was so happy to have a black cousin because I remember learning about the history of black people.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I loved him.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was great.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we also agreed on everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was a Christian.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was with the Lord now.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love and dearly, I love and love very much, can't wait to see him again.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love his mom, I love everything about him.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, what was really great was we would play and we were so happy early in the morning like let's say 839 when we get together.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then 530 would come as soon as about to, well, not said, but it's starting to get that evening, you know, at 536 it's time to leave and we get sad.
[SPEAKER_00]: We weren't going to see just for probably a year.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we get sad with the next year come.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a little taller.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a little taller bigger.
[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll be excited because there we were again playing.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the next year it come.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was that way for God only knows.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's say 10, 15, 20 years.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was so neat to see you together.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Adam even came here to this church for a while.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we came and remember for a while before he passed.
[SPEAKER_00]: The point is this, it was hard to say goodbye.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the reunion would come real quick.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there it was again.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's how it is when you say goodbye to your brother, sisters of Christ.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's hard to say goodbye, but then the reunion will come.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you'll be together forever.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there'll be no separation from that wonderful love one.
[SPEAKER_00]: No separation, no more pain, no more sorrow.
[SPEAKER_00]: No more missing body parts if you've had to have a separation.
[SPEAKER_00]: There will be some people, my grandfather, for instance, had a loose half of foot because a diabetes and other things.
[SPEAKER_00]: And because of that, I remember having a dream after he left, had a dream about him going to heaven.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was reminded in heaven right now, he has complete, a complete foot, complete everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the same for you when it comes to your heart right now where your heart spiritually speaking, when you get in heaven, it's gonna be complete.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're gonna have a complete heart, completely spiritually filled.
[SPEAKER_00]: Parts of your brain right now, not like mine that has been physically severed, but right now, you have parts of your brain that doesn't work.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why?
[SPEAKER_00]: There's parts of your brain that doesn't work.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't know why.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just way it is.
[SPEAKER_00]: Only a bit of our brain works, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: But when we get having, God will fill in the full of knowledge that we don't have.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we will understand things that we just can't get.
[SPEAKER_00]: You won't have to worry anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to know, and there will be a reunion, a great reunion.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all right to miss them, but remember, you will see them again.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right now, you're probably homesick.
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably homesick.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know I get homesick, am I the only one to get homesick?
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I know I get home now, young people, let me just tell you this young people.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right now, you probably don't get as homesick because you're still young.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you still don't know all that you think you know, and that's okay, too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right now, you're still growing, and you're supposed to be,
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't use the word ignorant, but you don't know all the things you think, you know, you'll know more by the time you're 40 and 50, you're going to like, you know what?
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I understand.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you'll realize it because that's how supposed to be, you're supposed to learn as you go.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's great.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love to see young people learn it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how it's supposed to be.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like when you see a little baby growing up and watching Sesame Street, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: And this was the bet.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you like it because you like to see these kids learn it.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how supposed to be.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's way to spiritually too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, spiritually, it's the same way.
[SPEAKER_00]: Second Corinthians five eight says this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Second Corinthians five eight.
[SPEAKER_00]: Instead, I say that we are confident and willing to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord, Amen.
[SPEAKER_00]: The moment we leave here, where you're gonna be, with God, in heaven, you're gonna be with the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the moment I leave here, you know, people like to talk about ghost.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not scared of anything.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you hear people talking about ghosts, I got warning for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not seeing ghosts unless you're watching Ghostbusters and by the way that CGI or whatever, back in the day would have been mechanical.
[SPEAKER_00]: But here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: That kind of stuff, that's all fictional stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not seeing ghosts.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're seeing demons.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: You Christian don't need to be scared of demons.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you see something demonic,
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't worry about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: You rebuke it in the name of Jesus Christ because that has no power over you because greater is He who's in you than He who's in the world first on four four.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't be scared of that thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: But know that there are some Christians who like to dabble on that stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: They should be dabble with anything like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about that more near October.
[SPEAKER_00]: But know that Christ is more powerful.
[SPEAKER_00]: Revelation.
[SPEAKER_00]: Revelation chapter 14
[SPEAKER_00]: Revelation, 12 and 13, excuse me, 14, 12 and 13.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here is the patience of the saints.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here is the patience of the saints.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a John speaking,
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, right, blessed are the dead who died in the Lord from now on.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their laborers, for their works follow them.
[SPEAKER_00]: When you follow God,
[SPEAKER_00]: When you do the works of God, folks, I'm not talking about when you're at Walmart working.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not talking about when you're working at wherever you work at, and you're putting in a daily clock, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm talking about when you're serving God, when you're sitting here teaching here and there, when you're talking to the people, let's say, at Walmart or wherever.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wherever you're talking to people at the grocery store, anywhere in your family, when you're texting them, talking to them and they're asking questions about the Lord God, and you're speaking the truth, when you're not afraid to be courageous for God,
[SPEAKER_00]: And God will give you rewards for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not why we do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: We do because we love Christ so we love the people.
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't want them to go to hell.
[SPEAKER_00]: What does it say in 2 Timothy 418?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad you asked.
[SPEAKER_00]: 2 Timothy 418.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Lord will deliver me from every evil work.
[SPEAKER_00]: And will preserve me for His heavenly kingdom, the whom be glory forever and ever.
[SPEAKER_00]: Amen.
[SPEAKER_00]: Philippians chapter 3, 20 through 21 and I want you to remember this.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're here for now.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're here for now in this place.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're here for now on this earth.
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is not your home.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I know you have a house.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad you have a house.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad you have a place to be when you need to be.
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is not your permanent home.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just not.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's do what it says in Philippians 3, 20, 3, 21.
[SPEAKER_00]: Philippians 3, 20, 2, 21 says, but our citizenship is in heaven.
[SPEAKER_00]: From where, also, we wait for our Savior, the Lord, Jesus Christ.
[SPEAKER_00]: who will transform our body of humiliation so that it may be conformed to his glorious body according to the working of his power even to subdue all things to himself.
[SPEAKER_00]: Your body's going to be transformed.
[SPEAKER_00]: Completely transformed.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to worry about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now there's a couple other things I want to say before we go here today.
[SPEAKER_00]: We need to continue to remember praying for the lost, always.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to irritate you, and I know they do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember that was you one time.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was you at one time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not understanding.
[SPEAKER_00]: You might have been young.
[SPEAKER_00]: But we need to pray for them.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're spiritually dead.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we need to pray that they become living, saved, and becoming a saint to soldier.
[SPEAKER_00]: It says in Ecclesiastes 95, Ecclesiastes 95, the living know that they will die.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the dead know nothing.
[SPEAKER_00]: They have no more reward for the memory of them is forgotten.
[SPEAKER_00]: Pray for them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Keep praying for them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do not listen to the loss of this world.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do not be misled by them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Many of them will try to mislead you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And many people listen to it because that's who they're surrounded by.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's who they know.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's who they work with.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's who they're related to.
[SPEAKER_00]: They believe that they have to listen to.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, I just believe we shall just get along.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's just get along.
[SPEAKER_00]: Folks, why would you want to get along with someone who knows nothing?
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you imagine there being a blind man, and this is not an insult to it when he's physically blind, but can you imagine if there was a let's say trail?
[SPEAKER_00]: And you say, who should we listen to?
[SPEAKER_00]: And you can see exactly where it's supposed to go, but you say, hey, I don't want to hurt his feelings.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's blind, a blind man true, but we should let the blind man lead us.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would you do that when you know exactly where you're going you're the only one with the map and you're letting the Brian man lead you Who doesn't have a man nobody else to see, but you because you have the map and they're letting the blind man lead how stupid do you have to be But I don't want to hurt the feelings.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings of course at the same time Feelings come and go like the wind
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll get over it, but I got news for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you let them feel good as they travel to hell, they're never gonna feel good again when they get there.
[SPEAKER_00]: You understand what I'm saying?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd rather than be mad at me for the moment while we're on our way to heaven and that you show them this is the way and if they decide not to follow you there, that's up to them.
[SPEAKER_00]: But, but, don't buy them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Golly, don't let them feel good for the moment as they're on their way to hell.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's stupid.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just stupid, but I got no other word for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's dumb.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you know the truth and you're not speaking the truth, not only is it dumb, you're cruel.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're cruel.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what you're supposed to be doing?
[SPEAKER_00]: Do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember, the righteous will be reunited, but the other saint of soldiers, and that'll be reunion time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why are we righteous?
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not.
[SPEAKER_00]: But Jesus is the righteous one.
[SPEAKER_00]: The only reason why we there's any righteousness in us at all is because the righteous one Jesus is in you and he saved you and all the unrighteousness of you has been washed away through the grace of Jesus and the holiness of Christ and when you have faith in him, you're a widest now.
[SPEAKER_00]: He brings you everlasting life.
[SPEAKER_00]: It says in John 1413, let not your heart be troubled.
[SPEAKER_00]: You believe in God, believe also in me.
[SPEAKER_00]: And my father's house are many dwelling places.
[SPEAKER_00]: If it were not so, I would have told you so.
[SPEAKER_00]: I am going to prepare, excuse me, I'm going to prepare a place for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself that where I am, you may be, also, Jesus said this, you prepared a place for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: There are many other words I like to say to you, but I'm not going to go through them all.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's just say this.
[SPEAKER_00]: and revelation, it mentions many, many things.
[SPEAKER_00]: It mentions in 1914.
[SPEAKER_00]: It mentions there are armies in heaven.
[SPEAKER_00]: Closed and fine-lit and that's gonna be you some day.
[SPEAKER_00]: Closed and fine-lit and white and clean, it says they're gonna follow him on white horses.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mentioned this last week.
[SPEAKER_00]: Gonna follow him on white horses.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would love to be on that white horse and I'm gonna be.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not because I deserve it, but because he loves me,
[SPEAKER_00]: It says in Revelation 21, 4, God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
[SPEAKER_00]: There shall be no more death.
[SPEAKER_00]: Need it shall be shall there be any sorrow in a crying or pain.
[SPEAKER_00]: For the former things have passed away, the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
[SPEAKER_00]: You will have no more pain, no more sorrow, no more hardship, praise the Lord God.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you suffer from pain every day, I know some of you do.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have pain, maybe when people say, but I thought we were gonna have you tear some people say there are tears that joy, folks, that's different.
[SPEAKER_00]: Pears of sorrow are as far different from tears of joy.
[SPEAKER_00]: You mothers know, you've had sorrowful tears.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus Christ talked about a mother who went into labor and all the pain she had.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yet when the baby was born, all the joy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Many of mothers when they were crying from pain, suddenly those tears of pain turned.
[SPEAKER_00]: from tears of painted tears of joy.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when they held that beautiful baby, suddenly they couldn't help but cry.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the terrible tears of pain were sending tears of great joy and they couldn't help but cry because they're so happy overcomedy joy.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I have held babies that have made me cry, yes, made me cry.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because when I felt Freddy for the first time,
[SPEAKER_00]: I was so overcome with joy and that baby had, I didn't cry cry, but I had little tears of joy, stuck in my eyes, but I held that beautiful, beautiful baby.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe I shouldn't tell you this, but I will.
[SPEAKER_00]: The first time I saw him, I didn't get to hold him.
[SPEAKER_00]: See, they had him in just a little machine, because he wasn't doing too well.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was born in a little early, and he gave me a certain suggestion.
[SPEAKER_00]: I won't tell you exactly this suggestion, but let's just say it's usually what people do on the road and they're mad at you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he gave me a suggestion with his little hand.
[SPEAKER_00]: And what I saw on my said, that's my boy, that's my boy.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was just saying hello, saying I was number one, and I just love that boy.
[SPEAKER_00]: So when I held him, I was overcome a joy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had tears of joy coming down my face, you know, I love that boy.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I prayed for him so much, I love him.
[SPEAKER_00]: And my mother's no.
[SPEAKER_00]: My mother's no.
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen what it says.
[SPEAKER_00]: All through Revelation 21, the wall will be built with Jasper.
[SPEAKER_00]: as clear as glass, now it makes no sense to us.
[SPEAKER_00]: How is it going to be Jasper and clear as glass and made a pure gold?
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a spiritual thing, not a physical thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: I understand that.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what it also says.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Wall of City had 12 foundations and on them were the names of the 12 apostles of the Lamb.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Revelation 21, 27 says, no unclean thing shall ever enter it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nor shall anyone who commits a bomb an answer and falsehood, but only those whose names are written in the last book of life, that means that you shall not enter unless you are righteous.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not righteous.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not righteous, but Jesus is righteous.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's only because your name is written in the last book of life, because he is righteous, and he is entered into your spirit so hard.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is why your known as righteousness.
[SPEAKER_00]: Only because of that can we enter in now, because I'm good, because I'm not.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not, but Jesus is Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_00]: All through Revelation 22, it says there's pure river of water of life, clears crystal flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
[SPEAKER_00]: On each side of the river was a tree of life, poor kinds of fruit.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I like to think about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is what it says, 12 kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: You remember on the Christmas vacation, the fruit of the month club, you remember I saw that face, the fruit of the month club, thank you to this heaven.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's going to be a fruit of the month club, every single month, a new fruit on the tree.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I don't know you.
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's going to be a new fruit.
[SPEAKER_00]: Each month leaves healing the nations, no more curse, no more death, no more sin.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Son of God and the other lamb shall be in it and his servants shall serve him.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't get weird.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't think you're gonna be out there like a slave.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't mean that you're his servant.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna be glad we're gonna be kneeling and praising it's holy name.
[SPEAKER_00]: Happy as a Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: Happy forever, evermore.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it says no more night, no more dark.
[SPEAKER_00]: For the Lord, God will give them light.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they shall reign forever and ever.
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen to this verse in Revelation 2214, write it down.
[SPEAKER_00]: Revelation 2214, well, let's sit or those who do his commandments that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates into the city, Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I say this to you today, remember that you are
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't pretend that you're on leave.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not on leave.
[SPEAKER_00]: There is no leave.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't pretend you're on a break.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not on a break.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're serving God.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you feel like your service is over, it's on over.
[SPEAKER_00]: Get back up again.
[SPEAKER_00]: Take up your weaponry and serve God with it.
[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, we live.
[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, we speak by the way, we go about our every daily moment.
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember the soldiers you miss,
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a whole lot of them.
[SPEAKER_00]: I could think of a whole slew, hundreds, maybe even more, but you will see them again.
[SPEAKER_00]: You will see them again.
[SPEAKER_00]: When you start missing them and become overcome with grief, it's understandable to be sad.
[SPEAKER_00]: But turn that sadness into gladness when you think about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like when I saw my cousin at him.
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanna see him again.
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll have grown, but you're gonna see him again and have him.
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll have grown, and it's spiritual sense.
[SPEAKER_00]: Think about how many brothers and sisters of Christ that you don't even know we're going to be there.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you get there, whatever you're getting it will be, hugs all around, praises of God together.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hand in hands, we praise the Lord God.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be loud, harmonizing, singing, praising the Lord as we all bow down together.
[SPEAKER_00]: No more knee pains, all those who have arthritis praise the Lord God.
[SPEAKER_00]: No more arthritis, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello, I saw some thumbs up just now and it's not gonna hurt when we do that even No more pains in the neck No more aching no more hurting No more tired at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you Lord No more prop no more sleep.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have to worry about how does it know more dark Anyone ever get afraid of the dark.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what about that anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: No more
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember to pray for the lost to repent with no hatred towards them, hate the one who hasn't blinded the enemy, Satan, but love them, despite what they do, not in spite.
[SPEAKER_00]: Pray for them, pray that they come to the family, make them a member, pray that God will make them a member.
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember that you are righteous by the righteousness of Jesus, not by your own, don't let arrogance sneak in and let him be seen in you by all those around, by all those around.
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember the saints and soldiers who are still with you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't miss the other soldiers who are gone so much.
[SPEAKER_00]: that you forget to appreciate those who are with you.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I do mention those who are gone.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't want you to believe, for one second that I don't appreciate you.
[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate Sister Rock Hill.
[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate Brother Gary.
[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate Sister Christine.
[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate just a Carol.
[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate every single one of you right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Every single one of you, now it might be true that when I talk to you, my brain does a little nap and may call you sister Barbara when your name is sister Susan.
[SPEAKER_00]: I may call a sister Barbara sister Susan.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that doesn't mean I don't love you and pray for you every night because I do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: The truth is we are to love our brothers and sisters.
[SPEAKER_00]: But they're not perfect, I know.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the righteous one in them is.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's who we're to love.
[SPEAKER_00]: And remember one last thing, remember the righteous reunion that may come at any time, at any time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Be ready, always be ready for that righteous reunion and be prepared for God can do with you today, tomorrow in the next.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me close this one last verse and they were going to go to the Lord and prayer.
[SPEAKER_00]: Psalm 37 verse 28, Psalm 37 28 for the Lord loves justice and does not forsake his saints.
[SPEAKER_00]: They are preserved forever, but the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.
[SPEAKER_00]: Please pray for the lost.
[SPEAKER_00]: trying to love them and pray for them, even though they may treat you poorly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Doing the others who you'd have them doing to you, after you're 712 and Luke 631, continue to live Godly around them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Dear precious Heavenly Father, I pray right now for all of my soldiers with me and by my soldiers, what I mean yours,
[SPEAKER_00]: Lord, I pray that we allow others to see you in us.
[SPEAKER_00]: When we feel tempted, Lord, to fall, and to live ungodly, and I know we all tripped in our marches at times.
[SPEAKER_00]: I pray, Lord, that we will get back up again.
[SPEAKER_00]: Lord, God, you will help us with your word to wipe off the mud and the dirt.
[SPEAKER_00]: to become a clean soldier.
