Delighting In The Commandments Of God

And enter into our bloodstream this great commandment or God, their words of Spirit and words of Life and it will cause us to be separated from all of that thing out there or those things that could contaminate me or take my life away from me. What a wonderful thought, to think about the commandments of God in that way. Then it says that His seed shall be mighty upon earth. Not only saying that God's seed shall be mighty upon earth as we know that it will, but that the seed of the righteous man shall be mighty in the earth. Whereas the Bible says I've never seen the righteous forsaken. And I've never seen His seed that is God's seed nor the righteous seed begging bread. I've never seen that David said. Then he goes on to say it shall be mighty upon the earth the generation of the upright shall be blessed. The wealth and riches shall be in His house. The blessing of the Lord maketh rich and addeth no sorrow. Now you can get rich in the world. It's no problem to get rich in the world. You cut a few corners pull a few deals over here and shift a few things around in the shadows you know, and you can come up a wealthy man. But the Bible says he that hasten to be rich shall not be unpunished. But the blessing of the Lord maketh rich and it doesn't add any sorrow. At the end of the trail there will be sorrow for the man that hasten to be rich. But when God makes a man rich there is no sorrow given with those riches. He, He the Bible says here He shall have a name that shall be in everlasting remembrance. His name shall be remembered from now on. Might have a great President, his name might be remembered from generation to generation. But long after the memory of that great dignitary has passed away, millions and millions of years from now the name of the righteous shall still be in remembrance and still be going on. Because God will bless the upright in heart. He tells us that a man that is of God that he, he has his heart fixed, evil tidings will not trouble him. It goes on a little farther here. He said the desire of the wicked shall perish. You know it doesn't matter what the wicked desires, he isn't going to receive anything but confusion, problems, heartaches. He can, he can go out and make as we would say a ton of money. He can get a bushel basket full of dollars. But the Bible tells us that when he brings it home that God will blow upon it. It doesn't matter how much he makes though he makes a lot of money. He may cut corners he may manipulate he may have a power of ingenuity that makes him so brilliant and just, he may just sparkle among the other business men. But the Bible tells us that all of that that he gets when he brings it home God will blow upon it. But riches gotten by labor that is blessed of God they shall increase. So then we see the blessing of the Lord is in the house of the righteous. That the blessing of the Lord maketh rich and it lasts not only through this life time but it lasts in the world to come, it's eternal riches. Lay up treasures in heaven where thieves don't break through and steal. Where moth doesn't corrupt or where ever your treasures are. The Bible says your heart will be right there. You know if a man's got an ambition in life he sets that thing in motion and that thing captivates his entire attention. Isn't that right. Everything that he does is motivated and moved in the direction of that ambition or desire. So then if that be true why not set that thing in motion toward God. Let's lay up treasures in Heaven let's let our ambition be toward God. Let's get a vision for God, without a vision the people perish. Let's get a vision for God and for mankind. Let's think about a human being and the loss of a human being and what it means to preserve one human life. Whereas the Bible uses the terms hating the garments that are spotted with sin pulling them out of the fire. Why not be a savor, He said I will raise up savors and I will send savors out to the people. Why not be a savor. In every case when Israel sinned against God the Bible says God will raise up a savor, it might be Elijah it might be Moses it might be some other great person. But God always raised up a savor to Israel. Isn't that right! Why not be a savor, why not let God raise you up and be a savor to mankind. What could be greater than saving a human soul, or saving a human life? If a person was about to be consumed with flames and you broke through the flames and risked your own life and saved that life. Look at the praise and the honor that would be given you look at the declaration that come from some men over in battle. How when they break through and become a hero as we say. Look how the President will personally sometimes personally come down there and put some kind of metal on them. Just for saving a human life because that person has become a savor. But look how wonderful it would be if you and I become a savor to save a soul which means that we have saved life eternally. We have saved life in such a way that it will never diminish or pass away. What a wonderful thought that is. What could be more thrilling than that? Making a dollar having a nice home getting a new car. Can you compare those things as Paul said the beggarly elements of this world with a human life and a human soul. Can you? With eternal, one that can live on eternally and you being responsible for it? The Bible says all these people shall be jewels in our crowns. You know we've got a crown of life and these shall be jewels in your crown of life. In that day when God crowned your soul with eternal living everyone of these that shall live on throughout eternity shall be the jewels of God and they shall sparkle radiantly sparkle throughout eternity because they are jewels in your crown of life. Every time you walk down the streets of glory you see one of them sparkle. The Bible says that they will they will shine as the new day sun. And you see one of them sparkle and say Glory to God there's a crown, there is a jewel in my crown of life. There is a jewel in my crown of life. I am responsible for that one being up here in glory. Hallelujah! What a thought what a thrill that would be to know that you won somebody to God. Wouldn't that be a wonderful thought. So then we, you know if you had a diamond mind out here somewhere or you had a place, I've heard of a place overseas where you just go through the sand and pick up diamonds. You know if you had such a place around here like that people would be picking up diamonds. They'd have they'd have baskets they'd have boxes they'd have every container that they could get wouldn't make no difference what kind it was they'd want to fill it up. Isn't that right! But to think that those things are corruptible and those things will pass away and yet those things are only a type and a shadow of a living jewel. A living jewel. Not one that's got a little sparkle of sunlight in it, but one that's got light radiating from within. A human jewel. We can gather human jewels there laying around everywhere. And God is asking you to gather those and lay up your treasures in heaven where thieves don't break through and steal where moth doesn't corrupt. That's why I keep my bucket with me all the time. Hallelujah! I'm always looking for some jewels. Always looking for some jewels. I'm always on a prospecting trip. You know the old miners out in the west they'd spend their lifetime always prospecting. A day would go by a month would go by a year would go by and after a while they they'd begin to get a little age on them but they kept saying if I just one time, one time. You know like a gambler just one time I strike it rich. I'm always prospecting I'm always looking. But you know it's a more sure thing with God. It's not a gamble it's a sure thing with God. If you being in the mind of God you're going to discover some beautiful jewels. If you follow after Christ you're going to follow, you're going to find something that's rewarding. I'm always looking no matter where I go everyday when I awake the first thing I think of. I'm always thinking about souls always looking everywhere I go looking for a new jewel looking for somebody that I can win to God. Or maybe I'll run across a stone that's kind of bruised and beat up a little bit or maybe the brilliance of it is not really showing like it ought to show you know. And then I say lord make me and expert. You know it takes an expert to cut a diamond to where you get all of the beauty and radiance out of it. And I say Lord make me an expert and don't let me don't let me abuse it don't let me break it don't let me chip it, let me cut just right and Lord I see so much more beauty that so much more radiance that could come out of that if you just show me how to cut it and show me how to handle it. Lord how beautiful that could be if it was just handled the right way. And so then I ask God I say Lord go with me Lord help me to do something for the Lord Jesus Christ. Oh that thrills my soul. I can tell it doesn't do some you know anything to some of you. But to me it just literally thrills my soul. You say Brother Pike why do you get so excited about it? Because I'm laying up treasures in Heaven. Those are diamonds those are ruby's those are beautiful jewels and I'm laying them up in Heaven. I'm just laying them up in Heaven and one day I'm going up there where they're at, my riches, my blessings all of those treasures will belong to me. Do you believe that? See the Bible speaks of people going to hell and it says that some shall have the greater damnation isn't that right. And Jesus said one time when they come over there right there at Pilots judgment throne He said these have the greater sin. See you can have the greater sin you can have the greater damnation or you can have the greater reward, is that right? I want to have just as great a reward as I can get. I do! If I was going to be a man here in this world after the things of this world I'd want everything I could get my hands on, is that right? I wouldn't want to have to do the job I'd want to do everything that could be done and do, and get everything that I could get my hands on because I believe that's the way it ought to be done. And so then since God has opened my eyes and caused me to look around me and see eternal riches and the glory and the splendor the great loving magnificence of Christ and His people. I want to do everything I can do, get my hands on everything I can get my hands on and lay up every treasure that I can in Heaven because one day I'm going up there where it's at. So then blessed is the man that fearest the Lord. The Bible says the desire of the wicked shall perish. You may have great ambitions in the earth and you may have a lot of desire in the earth, but if you are a wicked person all of that is going to pass away. It's going to perish there's not going to be anything left for you. But oh let me tell you beloved friend if you'll fear God. If you'll believe in God if you could take God's word if you delight in God's commandments and you evaluate properly in your mind to know the what the commandments of God means to humanity. My what a wonderful treasure you have. See I think about the laws of the land take the laws of the land out here, and I think about that. Now those laws are good if there not violated. I know that there misused I realize that there misused. But you've got to admit that the average law that's instigated is good. It's a protection to us. And it protects life. And if you want to conform to that law and obey that law and honor that law it becomes a great protection to you. But if you want to be a villain and you want to violate that law and you want to be haughty raised up and say no I'm not going to do that. Then it becomes a punishment and a detriment to you, isn't that right? It can it can prove to be something very sorrowful and it can prove to put you behind bars or whatever. See because you refused to conform to the laws of the land. They can't protect your natural life because you rejected. You go around the curve the curve says fifty miles an hour, maybe it's already been tested and proven that you can't go much faster than that or else you lose your life. Well somebody says well I don't believe that so they go seventy miles an hour. Maybe they make it or maybe they don't make it. You understand what I'm saying? Those laws are given to protect your natural life and the commandments of God are the laws of Heaven that God has given to protect my spiritual life as well as my natural life. And to preserve me eternally without blame Paul said. I want your spirit your body your mind soul everything Paul said to be to be preserved blameless at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thou the laws that protect my life they protect me they protect my loved ones they protect my treasure they protect everything that I desire everything that I want everything I believe and everything I stand for. The laws of life the commandments of God. Hallelujah! The more I think about it I get excited. To think that God has endowed me with knowledge and understanding of something that can take care of me. The commandments of the Lord. I delight in those commandments. They thrill my soul. I know in times past a lot of times I'd be confronted with something you know. I'd come up against something and that thing would cut across my grain and would be contrary to what I wanted to do or contrary maybe to what I was doing. And ah the Lord let me know that that was truth that that was truth and I'd say my God that cuts across my heart. Lord that's so contrary to what I'm doing. How in the world will I ever conform to that. And the Lord would say to me unless you love the truth I'll turn you over to a reprobate mind I'll cause you to believe a lie send you strong delusions and let you be damned. And I'd say oh God don't do that. Lord let me love the truth let me love the truth and God would say it's going to cut across your flesh. It's going to cut across your grain it's going to cut across your way of life. And you're going to have to conform to the laws of life which is the commandments of God if you want to preserve your life unto eternal life. I say oh Lord let me conform. Lord let me conform. And I'd say oh God let me conform to your way of life for God hath predestinated us that we be conformed to the image of His Son the Lord Jesus Christ which is the commandments of God made manifest in the flesh, or the Word made manifest in the flesh. And I'd say Lord let me do it. And a lot of times it would cut across my grain you know and ah the Lord would say to me he'd say son remember this. If I demand of you that which is right for the sake of your enemy's and them that have hurt you. If I demand of you that you love your enemy's and that you do these things. If I love humanity enough that I demand of you my own son if I demand of you that you do these things. If I love humanity enough to do that, you can be sure that when they come against you that I'll demand of them right down to the very fine line. And I'll make your enemy's be at peace with you. And them that rise up against you I'll rise us against them and them that trouble you I'll will trouble them Jesus said. But you've got to do what I tell you to do. Hallelujah! And so then God let me know that I had to honor His laws I have to obey His laws I have to go His way. Blessed is the man that delighteth in the commandment of God for the but for the desire of the wicked shall perish. I don't know what kind of desire you've got this morning but if you are a wicked person the Bible says the wicked shall not live their days half out that the prayers of the wicked are abomination in the sight of God. That all the offerings of the wicked are abomination in the sight of God. The wicked are always always evil in the sight of God and rejected and despised in the sight of God. And He said I will pursue the wicked till they perish from off of the face of the earth. For I am angry with the wicked every day. Don't ever get the idea that God loves everybody. Don't ever get that idea because God doesn't love everybody. The Bible says I am angry with the wicked every day I will pursue the wicked till they perish from off the face of the earth. God loves those that that honor His laws. He said I've not lost a one of them father only the son of perdition. Whereas before he was ever born it said let another his bishop partake. So then God loves you. If you will turn in his direction. God loves you if you will call upon His name. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord. God loves you if you'll make a sincere effort to do what is right. And Brothers and sisters if we take the other outlook and were contrary to God. God said I'll walk contrary to you. Said you walk contrary to Me, I'll walk contrary to you. So then the wicked isn't going to get into the Kingdom of God. The Bible says outside of that city will be whoremongers and liars, and cheat, robbers. All of these things will be turned outside of that city. So then there isn't going to be a thing like that on the new earth or in that city. You can be sure God isn't going to let that be. But we are washed we are clean were holy were pure, because God has made us to be so. Now I realize that out there in the world there is a world full of sinners. And I know that were to go out there and were to love them. God has given grace He's given the love of God to the Son Jesus Christ. I know that. He has given it given a day of grace so that the wicked can have grace and have the love of God present for a dispensational truth and a dispensational grace and a dispensational time. I realize that. But give them time to do right to change about. And to come to God. But I've said this so many times and I emphasize it this morning. The Bible says the grace of God has appeared unto every man. Teaching them that dining worldly lust and ungodliness. That they should live soberly and righteously in this present world right here. That's the grace unto salvation. And if you don't have that grace you don't have the right kind of grace. The other grace is just a dispensational grace that's going to last for a period of time. And then after that that grace is going to be lifted and all of those people that that had part in that grace will be turned into hell if they've not repented of their sins and come to the grace of God. God that bringeth salvation. So then we see God has a plan. While we have grace while God is giving us grace while He is working with us let's gather all the jewels that we can. Let's go about pulling them out of the fire hating the garments that's spotted with the flesh and pulling them out of the fire. Let's turn them away from the flesh and the things of the world and turn them into God and God's Word and the wonderful things of Christ. Let's get together and love one another and let's leave those that want to be wicked let them go their way. Because God isn't going to have them. They're going to have to repent of their sins there going to have to turn to God. But not one of them that looks in His direction will he reject. He that cometh unto me I shall in no wise cast out He said. I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Even though He said I will pursue the wicked till they perish from off the face of the earth. Yet He said I don't have any pleasure in having to destroy them. I beware ye that forget God lest I tear ye into pieces He said. But I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked. I'd rather that the wicked would repent of their sins turn away from their evil ways and come to me and let Me save them. I'd rather that they do that but I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked. But you can be sure of one thing that if a person doesn't except God doesn't follow God you're not going to make it in to the Kingdom of God. Now listen children of God and you hear me real good. We're going to close. I just thought we'd exhort you a little bit this morning. But there's a right way and there's a wrong way and the Bible says there is a way that seemeth right unto a man and that way is his own way. For the Bible says every man's ways is right in his own eyes. But there is a highway there is a way a highway that's called the highway of holiness. No unclean thing shall walk there on. The eyes of the vulture has never seen though a man be a way fair and foolish he shall never ere there in. Now there is a right way. We must go that right way. We must remember this one thing. That God requires righteousness. And we cannot depend on some theology. Some experience or something somebody has told us. We can't do that. Faith cometh by the hearing of the Word. In the latter times many shall depart from the faith. And I say this again departing from the faith is not departing from some religious strive that you've taken through life whereas your connected with some denominational work. But departing from the faith is leaving the confidence of the Word for faith cometh by the hearing of the word. Many shall leave the Word and turn to old wise fables and be given to thoughts and things of this world that's not profitable for them. Saying that you can do this and you can have this and God doesn't mind and God understands. But be sure of one thing. You're sins will find you out what God Word tells us is what God will require in the day of judgment. Exactly what He has said in His word it will be just exactly that way without any additive what so ever. Al-right so then remember this as we go through life. There is a right way. There is a wrong way. You cannot do good yesterday and go to Heaven on it today. Somebody say I love Jesus. I said you cannot do good yesterday and go to Heaven on it today. Neither what you did yesterday will take you to Hell today if you repent over what you did yesterday today. The Bible says all of your righteousness all that you've ever done all of your goodness. If you turn and do wickedly it shall not be remembered in your sins ye shall die. It doesn't matter how many good things you've ever done, how much predestination you've been taught. The Bible says when you turn and do wickedly all of your righteousness that you have done in the past shall not be remembered in your sins ye shall die. And if you do wickedly all of your life and then turn and call on God and clean up your life. The Bible says all of your wickedness shall not be remembered in your righteousness ye shall live. So then you've got one problem. Now somebody would say well Brother Pike that's that is the case then I'll just wait until I get ready to press my death pillar and then I'll give my heart to God. Why a person with that kind of attitude couldn't ever get close to God. Why a person with that kind of attitude you couldn't even get close to God. Did you know that? When you went to die you look at yourself you'd say you wretch. Come on now. You'd say you're wretch you threw your life away. And the devils would be buzzing in your ear like a bunch of bees. Saying here you preplanned this. It's just like premeditated murder. Why you couldn't never convince yourself that you love God. You've got to love the Lord Jesus Christ. And He's got to love you. And he does love you if you'll give Him a chance to love you. If you'll be lovable. You know Solomon said to have friends one must show himself friendly. To be lovable one must show himself lovable to be loved. Isn't that right? So then whatever it is that's the way the Bible teaches it. And that's the way it will have to be in the day of judgment. If you want to do right then start living for God. Live for God. The Lord will bless you. And if you don't want to do right just remember. You're going to go into the lake of fire. There is a lake of fire. And the Bible calls it the second death. And you're going to die more than just being put down in the grave and going to sleep. You're going into that lake of fire. It's real folks. It's hard to believe but it's there. Where the fire is not quenched and the worm dieth not. Al- right I want you to stand with me. We just thought we'd say a few things to you this morning. The testimonies where so good and um. I hope that our little exhortation this morning might have done something for you. Don't wait too late. Don't wait too late. I say well I think I'll just wait awhile. Well you don't know when the last day is coming. You don't know. Say well I feel like it's a long time Brother Pike before the end of the world. Well I don't feel that way. I really don't. And at the same time even if it was a long time as I've said so many times. Maybe it is a long time, but let's look at it like this. Supposing it is a long time. There is one thing for sure. It may not be a long time for you. Beware ye that forget God lest I tear you into pieces. The danger is when you know and don't do. That's danger. See all long as you don't know and you don't do then it isn't required of you. God is expecting someday that you be confronted with it and then it will be required of you. Now he requires that all men repent. But he also says the gospel must be preached to every creature and into all the world for a witness first. Now! So then it is a true fact that He will require it of you. He'll require it of you. But you've got to repent of your sins. You've got to repent of your sins when you come to the knowledge. When you come to the knowledge. You can't until you come to the knowledge. The Bible says if you come to the knowledge and the truth and then you turn away. There remaineth no more sacrifice for sin. Only the fearful looking forward to of the fiery indignation of God that shall devour the adversary's. You cannot put God off once you know a truth you must perform the truth. You must incorporate that truth in your life. You cannot lay one truth aside. Every truth must then be incorporated in your life and you must you must have an earnest sincere endeavor to perfect that truth in your life. If you leave off that one than God leaves off with you. So if you know then it's required of you and sad times are ahead for you. If you don't know then God will be merciful to you until such a time as you can know. So then remember this morning that Jesus loves you and Jesus wants to help you. But you have to give him a chance to help you. If you be wicked then Jesus doesn't love you. He doesn't love you. He said I'm angry with you every day. And I'll pursue you till you perish from off the face of the earth. I'll want let you live your days half out. When you hear the truth if you want except it, then the Bible says I'll cause you to believe a lie and be damned. He didn't say I'll just let you. He said I'll cause you to. Pray Father lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil Father. I'll turn you over to a reprobate mind that is your own thinking. Don't lean to your own understanding the Bible tells us. You lean to your own understanding you go wrong every time because your born with the mind of Adam your born with the mind of Satan. That mind is in you from your birth. You've got to transform your mind. The Bible says be there transformed by the renewing of your mind to prove that which is the good and acceptable will of God. So then we've got to study to show our self approved. We've got to get understanding. Transform out mind learn to live another life. Were a new creature in a new world the song say's if the Lord saves me. Oh, let's sing this little chorus together can we? "singing" Do you love Jesus this morning? Do you really love Him? I want you to lift your hands up close your eyes. The Bible says I would that men everywhere lift up holy hands without wrath without doubting. The Bible says examine yourself and see if you be in the faith, examine yourself. Say oh God, what is my convictions Lord is my convictions in my feelings, in what I've have theorized in my heart during my life time! Is my convictions Lord in what I would like to do in my ambitions in my fleshly demands in my own lust. (turn tape over here) has told me. Lord is my convictions in the Word of God? Examine yourself see if you be in the faith, faith by the hearing of the Word of God. Rooting and grounded in the truth in God's word. See this morning examine yourself see if you be in the faith. Many shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing doctrines. Seducing spirits and doctrines of devil's. You know devil's the Bible teaches that Satan is the prince that's over the powers that's in the air. And there working in the minds of the children of disobedience and the children of disobedience are taken into captivity at the will of Satan. Through temper, through anger through all of the misdemeanors of life. Just ask yourself the question. Say Jesus do I have the infilling of the wonderful Holy Ghost of God? Do I have the wonderful inner resistance that I need to overcome the outer gnawing of the evil powers that work in my human desire. My human senses Lord in my human weakness. Lord am I really anchored in the faith? Am I really anchored in the faith? Am I Lord? See if you be in the faith. Have you drifted from the faith? Have you rearranged things to your own convenience so that the flesh can have an outlet. You know the flesh it'll say to you it'll say I'm in a prison I'm in a prison. My you're so cruel to me you make me fast you make me do without you're so cruel to me, you should be kind to me. Don't listen to that voice that's Satan. The kindest thing that you can do to your body as the temple of God is to get that evil mind of lust and human desire out of it. Because it's contrary to the Holy Spirit that wants to live in that temple. If the Holy Spirit lives in that temple you live eternally beloved friend. But if you let that crying gnawing weakness. Jesus said Satan savors the things that be of the flesh. You let him plan your life and he'll wreck you, he'll wreck you and that temple will decay and pass away and you won't have it eternally as a gift from God. What a wonderful thought what a wonderful thought. How wonderful thou art. How great thou art oh God! How great thou art. So wonderful. Hallelujah! I feel the Holy Ghost right now you know it. I feel Him right now. Hallelujah! I feel Him. The mighty wonderful Holy Spirit as He moves through my being right now. Hear what the Spirit sayeth unto the church. Hear, you're the churches. Hear! God wants to speak to you God wants to help you God wants to strengthen you and do something great and marvelous in your life. Your special to him. Every person is special to God. You've got your own world. Oh Hallelujah! What a what a sovereignty what a greatness. It can be a lovely world. A world that includes others a world of happiness and defiance a world of rest and peace. Whereas when you invite somebody else into it and their spirit their inner man their spiritual being enters into your atmosphere. Oh what a place of rest. What a place of comfort. Oh Hallelujah! What a wonderful thing. People walked into Jesus’ presence and they felt loose they felt freedom the anointing broke the yoke. And they felt at rest, relaxation, the desire of their heart was discovered. And as it was with Solomon in the days of Queen of Sheba. Solomon told her all of her heart. She was so happy. Jesus will tell you all of your heart the precious Holy Ghost the Holy Spirit of God as a comforter. He's with you every day of your life. He's a blessed comforter. When you have problems He'll talk with you. He'll live on the inside. He'll never take anything good from you. They that walk upright before God shall lack in no good thing. The blessing of the Lord maketh rich and addeth no sorrow. He that delighteth himself in the laws of God I will make him to ride upon the High places of the earth. I will feed him with the heritage of Jacob. For by me kings rain, prince rain where great people rain for I raise up one and I put down another. I create the Good and evil I have my way in both. I work all things after the counsel of my own will. Delight thyself in the Lord. The Bible says that ye shall be like a tree that's planted by the water. You'll bring forth your fruit in your season and your leaves will not wither and whatever you do will prosper. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Let your roots go down deep into the waters of life, your planted by the river of life. On either side of that river the trees with their roots growing down into the river of life will bring the waters and produce the fruits of life. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Just for a lingering moment while their playing. I wonder if we can sing that song "Sweep Over My Spirit" and while we are singing it I wonder if you'll just step out just for a moment and come down here and let us pray with you. Would you? Can we sing it? "singing" Sing it with me will you. Sing it with me. Every hour Lord I want you. Every hour Jesus I want you. "singing" Let's sing it like this now. "singing" You know while were standing here. And I trust that you've really examined your heart's and your lives. If you've not surrendered your heart to the Lord and you've never given him a chance at your heart. Never said Jesus take my heart take my life. Use it for the glory of God. If you've never given Him a chance now is a good time. Now is a good time just to say Jesus take my heart, take my life. And Father whatever there is in my life and heart, use it for the Glory of God. And like the little boy with the fishes and the loaves, magnify the fishes and the loaves Jesus. I don't have much to offer perhaps as others do but Lord take what little I have. Magnify it Jesus and feed the multitude with it. I see the hungry multitude waiting waiting and Jesus said less we feed them they'll faint in the way. But the Lord. Just say Lord take what I have and use it for Your Glory. Take it Jesus. Ah it would be so wonderful. The way that He can magnify, the way that He can multiply. And you think you just don't have enough to feed the multitude. And Jesus takes what you have then all of the sudden you'll be feeding the multitude and you say oh Lord I never thought it could be done. But see a little bit with Jesus is a whole lot. A whole lot without Jesus is a little bit. So then let's do something for Jesus can we. Can you lift your hands up as out Brother Taylor comes to pray a prayer with you now. Here worship with you for just a minute or two. Can you lift your hands up now? Search your heart's and don't forget the services tonight. Come and be with us. Bring somebody. Bring your loved ones.

Hallelujah! Praise God! I want a, I want a ask God to touch your body just before Brother Taylor comes to dismiss you. Lift your hands up and let me pray with you. Will you?
