Great morning. Great morning, great morning. Sometimes tears come down your eyes, not because you're sad, because of how blessed you are we talking about tears of joy? What is this message about the Lord's benefits? See, everybody's talking about going to church, but nobody talks about the blessings of the Lord. I'm gonna deal with the Lord. Benefits. We talk about blessings in my life. He, he needs to send somebody that he can show the example of walking correctly now to do what I'm about to tell you and about to say what I'm doing is I don't even remember the last time I sinned. Why? Because I know his words and I live according to what he tells me. We talk about the Lord's benefits. In the Book of Psalms, chapter one, oh, uh, Psalms 1 0 3, verse one through five, Psalms chapter 1 0 3, verse one through five. That's all we are gonna deal with today, and we are gonna deal with the Lord's benefit. First thing he says is, bless the Lord my soul, and all that is within me talking the spirit. Now. Bless his holy name. Bless the Lord my soul. And do not forget any. Of his benefits. That's what we talking about now, the Lord's benefits. Who pardons all your guilt? Who heals all your disease? Who redeems your life from the pit? Who crowns you with favor and compassion, who satisfy your years with good things so that your youth is renewed like the ego? Or we about to talk now, but I'm gonna break some things down and what we just covered, and I wanna show you the Lord Word in action. See when you talk about benefits, we talk about protection. He said, I'll dispatch my angels to protect you. I remember one day it was a dark net and I could feel the evil in the night. And as I was driving and my son says, daddy, can I drive?'cause he's just at the age where he got his permit. And I said, no, it's too dark and this is a evil night. I can fence it. And as I was driving home, I remember being behind this car and he was going. Slow and I couldn't pass'cause I couldn't see to get around. Sometimes you don't even understand how powerful the Lord protection is. And lo and behold, I saw the brake light come on the car and I stopped. And as I stopped because the car in front of me stopped, I got out to see what was going on. And the lady is in panic. She said, I hit a deer. And I said, okay, not a problem. So I went in the front and looked to see where the dead, how, how much damage was to the car, and she did not hit a deer. She hit a man on a m head. And I said, ma'am, calm down. I says, there was a person that you hit and I'm having my son call 9 1 1 and as my son is calling 9 1 1, I'm talking to the man and I'm telling him because part of his face has already been ripped off. I'm telling him you're gonna be all right. Help is on the way. You are gonna be all right. Help is on the way. We talking about protection. If I had passed that car, I would've been the one that have hit this man on a moped. What am I telling you? I have watched the protection of God over and over in my life. We talking about the Lord benefit, guilt. I've done wrong things and made wrong decisions. I made wrong choices. I've hurt people. That's why I always say hurting people, hurt people. But what he has done is he has let me know I'm going to give you compassion. Yes, I know you've done wrong, but you've done it in ignorance. Disease. When I had a stroke in my left eye, the Lord healed it. The Lord heals my headache constantly. The Lord healed my broken leg. The Lord healed me from things and illness that I had. The Lord healed me from the mental issues and the things that have went through in my life. We are talking about the Lord's benefit. See, people don't talk about this because to be here, you gotta get to a point to realize that the Lord is the Lord. He's gonna take care of you. He's gonna do what his word said he is going to do. But we talking about redeems. He redeemed me. He redeems those spoken words that was wrong, that was evil. He redeems us from the curse that we have put on our life, or people have put on our life, or people have cursed us, but he has redeemed us. He redeemed us from the bad choices that we have made in our life. That's why we are talking about the Lord. Benefit favor. He's talking about favor means not only about the jobs, which is great, but the house, the cars, the relationships. My wife, the woman of my dream. I could not ask for a better wife. We talking about the laws benefit. He said, I will give you the desires of your heart. He's compassionate. We talking about grace. He says, I understand that you are not but dust. So I understand why you are where you at, but I also want you to start to move into who you are. So that's why he can be compassionate. I always think about my kids, how compassionate we are, even when they make a mistake.'cause we've been there. When he talk about years, we talking about good things, the blessing, the peace, the joy. See when you can start walking in these things here, and I'm talking about joy, that's unspeakable. When I say sometime I tear up, I tear up because I know it ain't, but God. I didn't have a chance. He said, I picked the lowest things of this world and I confound it. To Wise. We talking about having peace in the midst of all the stuff that goes on. He said, I'll give you peace in the midst of all people. When they lie on you and they say bad things about you, you can still have peace. We can talk in about years. You gonna do your knees? Now we talk about youth. Sometime you get back around people and you be talking about classmates and I or people you used to, or you've been around or you come back home or whatever the reason is you, uh, in a better shape and a, and you look better than most of them. Why? He said, I knew you. Like your years are going backwards when everybody is fast forwarding. We talking about the lowest benefit I, I know sometimes we don't look at it that way, but he says, I will renew your years. I will renew your life. I will make your ladder better than your beginning. We talking about the Lord's benefit. I just wanted to give you a tip of what goes on in real worship. I wanted to show you about real protection. I can go on and on, but to finish up the story about the man that was hit. I'm praying for him and talking to him. I said, Lord, just let him hold on long enough till help comes. And he's held on and he's talking, and I'm calming him down, but I can't move him. Why? Because he's been hit and he's, and, and the trauma he went through is massive. What am I telling you? The Lord protected me from doing something that I, I, it would've last with me forever. But to go on with that, soon as the ambulance, the cops got there first and then the ambulance got there. As soon as they put him on the, the, the scratcher on the, the, the, they carry him out. He goes in cardiac arrest and they got all the equipment and they're working on him. And then I move on. Why am I telling you this? But that's not the only time I remember getting ready to go walk on the beach. As I was driving, the Holy Spirit said, stop. Okay. I ain't got a question that I stopped. I'm in the middle of the road. I stopped and I got outta my car and looked in the front, and there's a man that's about to touch my tire. If I didn't listen to the Holy Spirit, I would've killed this man. No, ain't no, uh, ain't no, that ain't no doubt. Doubt. And I, I thought he was dead. I ran to the store, which is about maybe a hundred yards away, and I said, call 9 1 1. There's a man dead in the road. And I had my flash on and I came back to the car and I'm just waiting for the cops, waiting for the ambulance. And I, as I was waiting, I'm thinking, God, that I didn't hit this dead man. Lo and behold, the cops got there. He stood by me and he says, man, you are lucky you didn't hit him. I said, I didn't see him. I said, I was just told to stop and I stopped because he's under my car. I didn't hit him, but he's under my car. And the EMS come and they're about to roll him over so they can check, you know, check and do all the things they do. And the man got and ran. When he got up and ran, now they're running behind him and I'm looking like, what is going on here? He wasn't dead. He was on the road trying to get warm from the heat of the road and somebody could have killed him, but thank God I can, and thank God I was obedient and allowed him to live. Find another day. We talking about the Lord's benefit, if nobody else believes, and I'm fine with that. Oh, I can't do nothing but believe because he's done too much thing for me to doubt his word, and that is the word of God. And.
