Good morning everyone from Hawaii to all points of the world. I thank God I am still able to preach the living God, to witness the Love and eternal life that God Himself has given us. Welcome to The Church Ministries 62nd Church service. God went forth to send His son Jesus to become a man and yet still have and hold pieces that form into God. The interlocking evidence of a story of salvation how a man that was born into this world of sin. Even though this man was God, He still was born into this world as a man, without sin. He was born of a virgin and was to grow up into this world without sin. All of our future lies in the threshold of believing and becoming an active piece of God by placing the spiritual living Christ , the Messiah the chosen one of God His Son who is an always will be without sin, that blends into our hearts if we ask Him. We are to place this God –man into our hearts and have fellowship and a loving relationship with the One God-Man. Some of us don’t understand how simple the law is. The law that was written was to show us we cannot follow the Law perfectly. The Law was our schoolmaster to show us that we are in sin. And none of us including myself can be perfect or even good. When we understand our obligations, and yet we are still human beings we are all going to fall short, or shall I say miss the mark. Most of us can not even follow the Ten Commandments, without breaking them or falling into sin. Even if we were locked in an empty room alone, just our thoughts could cause us to sin. So God made His plan that was set forth from the first day that Moses picked up a writing instrument the plan of salvation through Jesus Christ and the thin red line of redemption was already on the planning board.
Dear Heavenly Father, we are all sinners and we all ask for your forgiveness. Each and everyday we sin. Father as Jesus said “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to accomplish His work.” (John 4:34) So my Lord we are all here to claim the Lord Jesus as our Savior and Lord. Our work and duties to You all fall short unless we have Your Son in our hearts. We need Your strength, Your Faith, and Your power of trust. Father forgive us that as we live in the world, but trying not to be a part of it, we are being altered by the vast amount of sin that is progressing in this world. We need to be over comers of this world and exercise our spirits at the same time. We all need the power of the Holy Spirit to open up our eyes and ears to give us the power, wisdom and knowledge similar to the day of Pentecost. We are just simple sinful servants, full of sin just because we are human and carrying all kinds of faded ideas off beam teaching and all sorts of different misconceptions. Some of us are being pounded daily by all sorts of evil to change our thought patterns, and bring us confusing ideas and all different areas of uncertainty, plus we are being influenced by all different sorts of evil on different waves, to misdirect us into the gates of hell. We ask You Father that you constantly renew us as in 2Cor. 5:17, dear Lord we choose the message of reconciliation, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” So dear Father keep changing us, please keep our feet planted on Your word and promises. “Submit therefore to God Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” Dear Father we also submit to You so we can also have peace as your word says in James 4:7. Dear Lord, we do not want to fall into this world that surrounds us with heaviness, we choose to be over comers, and we all understand that the evil one is controlling the worldly actions, please Father don’t let any worldly design influence us. We are Your children and we want to worship You, and love You in spirit purity, and in truth, we need to be revitalized daily so we can stand firm in front of You blameless, clothed in Christ. So father we so need you, we are nothing, send us Your Holy Spirit and baptize us each and everyday. As the end times approach us, You know that the enemy is out to seek and destroy Your chosen ones, the ones that already have Your grace and understanding that will guide others to Christ. In 1Cor. 3:7 we are the simple farmers of this world, just your servants, but Lord we need You to help us continue, as it is written ”So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. Father we need Your strength and guidance fighting off all this evil so we can still plant seeds and water. Father when we are in pools of sorrow and afflictions and pain, how can we finish our work on this earth when we are so busy fighting off evil? We all need time and peace to think and to plan and formulate our next actions to help others. We are all your children to help plant seeds, so You can make them grow. Lord You know the tactics, some of us are weaker than others, we need Your strength so we can help You with the flourished fruits of men. You cause the growth and the beauty but each one of Your workers or servants are fighting several battles, we need time to lay down our swords so we can plant and water these new seeds. You made us all different in (2Tim. 2:20-21) Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work. So Dear Father, what we ask is we need Your love, direction and focus, we need to be cleansed from the world and all it’s lust, pride and sin. We need to be sanctified; we all want to be useful for Your glory! Our Father help us to help others, help us to bring righteousness to others so when they stand during judgment day, they will be spiritually clean being clothed with Christ. In John 17 Jesus made a remarkable series of prayers for all people, to read and hear to benefit everyone from the heart for all our relationships that we are all to be one. Our Father we do not want to be lost, we want so much to be a part of You and Your Son, please grant us this prayer, some can be workman and servants, grant us the power to speak your words, so we can continue on Your journey, not the worlds, to gain the power to overcome the world and it’s sin. Please Father here us, we so much want to share all we have which You and Jesus have planted in us. In Jesus Name, Amen
Brethren, I speak in terms of human relations: even though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it. Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed He does not say, "And to seeds," as referring to many, but rather to one, "And to your seed," that is, Christ. What I am saying is this: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise. For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise. Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made. Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one. Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law. But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise. Gal. 3:15-29
"But," some say, "our sins serve a good purpose, for people will see God's goodness when he declares us sinners to be innocent. Isn't it unfair, then, for God to punish us?" (That is actually the way some people talk.) Rom. 3:5 NIV
For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. Rom. 4:13 NASB
The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 5:20-21 NASB
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Rom. 8:14
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts. Rom. 13:14
So our main theme is to show us all that it was very hard to keep the law it almost made prisoners of men, and took away many or much freedom, the point is now we have Jesus Christ and we fully have to understand and except that he suffered and died for our sins and if we don’t put on Christ, or have fellowship and relationship values you are still under the law and you can still suffer the punishments of hell. I am writing this today to save souls from the gates of hell this is a very touchy subject if not put into scripture and analyzed. We are here to educate not to take away from the law but to in turn watch out for backsliders which I would say 80-90% back-slide in this day in age, just go into a video store to get a film on Jesus, and you will notice all the lust and violence just covers of all the film boxes. We all need to communicate so we remain the beautiful Christians we are.
We all have to be careful do you want to be those people that Jesus says;
Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.' Matt. 7:21-23 NASB
You don’t want the door to heaven to be shut on you in the last minute of your life, and through your whole life you thought you were going to heaven because you were a good person, remember;
And He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." Matt. 19:17 NASB
"The axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Matt. 3:10 NASB
What we all must admit that we are nothing and our sins with in our flesh surely will bring us to hell. We have to be clothed with Christ in order to be claimed not guilty. Most Christians today think if they go to church every Sunday will grant them into the gates of heaven, and while in church you just happen to look at a man or woman in a way more than beauty remember:
You have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY';
but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matt. 5:27-28 NASB
We all know our minds are carnal and it is hard for any of us to keep pure thoughts. That alone makes us an adulteress. Also remember the scriptures on murder, you may not go out and do the original offence but Jesus says;
"You have heard that the ancients were told, 'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER' and 'Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.' "But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell. Matt. 5:21-22 NASB
So now you could be an adulteress and somewhat of a murderer do you expect the door to remain open for sins of these qualities? There are other reasons why God loves us so much, God doesn’t want people with a bad attitude and full of sin in heaven, heaven is going to be peaceful with no bring downs of the word, you don’t expect to go to heaven and here people calling each other names and saying bad words, or a place where the will be jealousy. Most people today thing God is such a loving God that He will not send anyone to hell for calling someone a fool, we my friend it says it in scripture and God cannot lie, so you all have a bit of begging forgiveness and repenting and putting on the Christ, He is the only thing that will save you from hell fire. There are so many small infractions within the law you can not even look over at your neighbors’ car and imagine yourself in the driver’s seat; you see you have broken another commandment. The same with did you ever tell a lie? That would make you a liar, or did you ever steal anything like a pen or a paperclip or a stamp, anytime you have broken one law you have broken them all. So that is why we must put on Jesus Christ. Jesus suffered and died as an atoning sacrifice for the sin of the world. He declares you not guilty.
The early Christians obtained the power through the Holy Spirit to witness to others and we did talk about Peter standing up and preaching to all the Jews from 16 different locations, and through that power of the spirit he was able to save and baptize 3,000 men in that one day. I would say that was a good turn around for the first day of the beginning of the church. What we all need is through prayer, we need to make that holy connection. Prayer is the key point to almost all things in the spirit realm. Prayer is the holy connection that we all need to be better witnesses. Remember when Jesus sent out his apostles He instructed them to the letter. He told them to say the kingdom of Heaven is at hand. He also told them to heal the sick and to raise the deed, cleanse the leapers, cast out demons, freely give and freely receive. We can all obtain this power, some have already obtained it and they are using it for their own fame and fortune. Remember He also told His disciples; do not acquire any gold or silver or copper in your money belts. You see God will supply everything you need. Who could be a better boss than God himself? So there are many other Christians that are missing the point of what they should be doing with there lives, don’t forget Jesus told us to follow the great commission and to preach the word and to share our faith with others, and all of this is a part of witnessing for Christ. Don’t you want to save lives, don’t you want to save people from burning buildings and houses, when you are telling and spreading the gospel you are doing what you have been asked. Some are placed in different situations of different types of work so they can be good reliable witnesses. God could place you in a job working in personal for a big company, and just think how many seeds you could plant on just you normal job. God has a plan for each and every one of us, and it is so wonderful if we just let go and let God.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 2Cor. 5:17 NASB
Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 6:2 NASB
Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. Rom. 6:4
For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God For we also are weak in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you. 2Cor.13:4
With the Lord's authority let me say this: Live no longer as the ungodly do, for they are hopelessly confused. Their closed minds are full of darkness; they are far away from the life of God because they have shut their minds and hardened their hearts against him. They don't care anymore about right and wrong, and they have given themselves over to immoral ways. Their lives are filled with all kinds of impurity and greed. But that isn't what you were taught when you learned about Christ. Since you have heard all about him and have learned the truth that is in Jesus, throw off your old evil nature and your former way of life, which is rotten through and through, full of lust and deception. Instead, there must be a spiritual renewal of your thoughts and attitudes. You must display a new nature because you are a new person, created in God's likeness--righteous, holy, and true. So put away all falsehood and "tell your neighbor the truth" because we belong to each other. And "don't sin by letting anger gain control over you." Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a mighty foothold to the Devil. If you are a thief, stop stealing. Begin using your hands for honest work, and then give generously to others in need. Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. And do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he is the one who has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of malicious behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Eph 4:20-32
You see we are to be living as children of the light, we should be out there spreading our faith, we should be out there talking with people and sharing the gospel, we are new creatures in Christ, this way when God looks at us on judgment day he will not see myself he will see a new creature clothed in Christ, God will see Jesus not you, but he will and has been taking notes in what you have been doing with your life to help others and to save souls. We must continue to be one with the Father and with our Lord Jesus, we gain our power through the Holy Spirit through prayer and thanksgiving for the things that we do have. We should never dwell on the things that we don’t have. God has a special plan for each and every one of us.
Even when we witness now we have a lot to talk about, and the law and the Ten Commandments, the purpose of this whole sermon is to let people know that they need a savior, that they are facing the gates of hell, and that there really is not any good people (scripture wise) only God. We are all sinners and if we want to make the correct approach to people, we can not just come out and say that “Jesus loves you” or that “Jesus suffered and died for you”. We have to make a point in the conversation that they are a sinner and that at the rate they are going they are surely bound for hell, unless something is done right away. We know we will all stand in the judgment seat of Christ and if we are wearing the righteousness of Christ we will have the chance to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Next is to be totally repentant of our sins, in other words we must be really sorry and make a complete turn around. Most all of us have failed the Ten Commandments. So my brothers and sisters we need our Lord Jesus, we need him to be in our hearts, and fully understand why He sacrificed his life for us. We have to love the Lord thy God first and then love our neighbor as ourselves and if we accomplish all of these things, we should be heaven bound.
Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ 1Cor. 2:14-16 ASV
Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a “fool” so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness” and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” So then, no more boasting about men! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future–all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God. 1Cor. 3:18-23
But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. Rom. 14:10 NASB
Dear Heavenly Father, we all love you , we just thank You for another day and another gathering, so we can preach and learn about Jesus, O’ God how we all thank You for all the planning, and Father, to send Your only Son, to carry the sins of the whole world. We Love You Jesus, Amen and Amen
