SPEAKER_00

Hallelujah. Jesus. Hallelujah, Jesus. Hallelujah, Jesus. Glory to God. Good morning. God bless you all. Hallelujah. Well, what a wonderful day it is. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Praise you, Jesus. So much to be thankful for. We have Jesus. We have everything. Glory to God. Bless the Lord. Hallelujah. Well, we just want to welcome everyone at Grace and Truth Church and uh and everyone who's listening by any other means at any other time. I pray for you as I do those that are here in our midst. And just want you to know that we we see you. I I see you. I see the listeners and uh the watchers and the listeners, depending on how you're tuning in. I see some of you, lots of you. I can't see or determine how, but some of them are shown. So welcome to all of you in Germany and Spain. Been a lot of you lately. Ireland, South America, India, the Philippines, and all the European nations. Thank you. Also, all of you here in America, all over the country. We love you. And I pray for you. The anointing of God, the word of God, knows no limitations, distance, or boundaries at all. No time constraints. God created time, space, and matter, which consists of physics. He's not limited by them. Praise God. Hallelujah. Well, let's pray. Heavenly Father, thank you so much for this beautiful day that you've given us to come together to worship you, to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for using me today as a willing vessel, the conduit, to share your word and your love and your liberty and light. To a world that is needing to hear the truth of the word. Thank you, Lord, for everything that you are, everything that you've done, and everything you continue to do and to be. In Jesus' name, amen. Hallelujah. Turn it over to Matthew chapter twenty-eight. Matthew chapter twenty-eight. And I'm just going to read the nineteenth and twentieth verse to you. The last thing that Jesus said before he ascended. Of course, you all recall this, but just as a reminder to get us started today, we'll plant some of the powerful seed of the manna from heaven. Amen. Jesus said, go therefore, speaking to all of his disciples, which include you now. Go therefore and make disciples. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe or to obey all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always to the end of the age. Brothers and sisters, we are in the third great awakening. And revival is wonderful and breaking out all over the world. But as true believers, true disciples that love God and love people and want Jesus to have the wonderful body of believers that the church he paid such a high price for, we must be aware that without discipleship, something Samuel was touching on a moment ago, without discipleship, a new believer can be in great, or even an old believer, can be in great danger of being deceived. So, as any infant, they must be protected and taught, discipled in the Word of God. Now, I'm going to say something that it would be much better if we already had a 5,000-member church, because I would say it to them. Speaking to a small congregation, it looks as if sometimes it can be construed as someone being angry about that. Take it how you want, it's the truth. Oh. Pastor Will said, big member churches aren't good. Did I say that? I did not. I said, I don't believe that it's impressive to God just on the merit of numbers alone. Or membership. We're not called to amass members, converts, but to create disciples. Isn't that what Jesus said? I believe God is actually grieved when churches amass great numbers of church members who are not disciples or being discipled. This is one of the fallacies of the megachurch role model. Not role model, but the model of the megachurch. And even one of the great founding members of the first model of the megachurch, he came out and repented several years later, saying that he was afraid that all he had done was bring in a lot of people who were still lost and and it wasn't working. Because the model is for them to be brought in, you throw out a huge net and you bring them in, then you disciple them in the small groups, and that can work. Seldom does. Nevertheless, I'm not gonna I'm not banging on anybody. I'm talking about the necessity of discipleship. Because that's what Jesus called us to do is go therefore and make disciples, not converts, taking scalps. I got I got so many to sign a card, say a prayer. Now what? You see. So we want to grow the kingdom of God, yes. But Christians must be discipled in the word, or it leaves them open to all sorts of deception. Outside of the church today, as an example, we have Islam, a hateful ideology of the devil. Oh, Pastor Will said he hates all Muslims. I did not. I love everyone. I'm praying for Muslims, right, these days more than I'm praying for other folks because of certain things that are going on around the world. Because I'm believing for great revival and this third great awakening to light the ignite the fires of the Holy Ghost all over the world. Amen. I'm talking about demonic religions and ideologies. And so Islam is hateful because it's of the devil. Everything. Jesus says, I'm the way, the truth, and the life. So anything that doesn't say that Jesus is the Son of God and the only way to God, everything they're all demonic. So don't say I'm just against one. I'm against them all. If they don't glorify Jesus Christ as the King of kings and Lord of Lords. So we're praying as Muslims are coming to know the Lord, the true and loving Savior, Jesus Christ, by the millions. But on the inside of the church, we have what? Compromise. We're called to grow real followers of Jesus, not just fans, not just members of an organization. And especially not if it compromises or perverts the word or ignores the Holy Spirit. See, the Holy Spirit's goal is to be sure that we honor the Father and the Son Jesus Christ. And he is the helper, the teacher, and caretaker of everything that belongs to the Father, to the Son, and to all of God's children. Dispersing as he sees fit for the glory of God and the benefit of believers. So we need him very much. If anything's not in here or anyone says it was left out, or leave it out. If there's another book that goes with this book and they say, here, no. I reject that too in the name of Jesus. The word should be the anchor of every believer. And it will keep us rooted and grounded and established so we are unshakable in the storms of life. Psalm 138, verse 2. I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name. Now remember, this is old covenant. And so what did Jesus tell the woman at the well? He said, There's days coming where you're not going to bow down toward any temple or any, go to anywhere to worship it. You're going to, because God is a spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. That's John 4.24. So you have to put things into new covenant perspective. Be thankful that you don't live under the law anymore. But I give thanks to your holy name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, which never changes. For you have exalted above all things your name and your word. God has exalted above all things his name and his word. His integrity is in his word. He cannot lie. All of God's promises are backed by his word and his name. That used to mean something to men, to people. To some it still does. Thank God. And I believe that's a growing number again, thankfully. But God is faithful and his word is true. So we plant the word deep into the gardens of our heart. Amen. Been planting lots of seeds in the with the grandchildren. And I love to start with the seeds every year. And I they even plant the winter grass seed in the yard. And I make sure that we talk about that. Because I learn as much about God in the beginning in the garden as I did it from the Word. And that's how I'm teaching them many things. And then we go back and we look at the results. And we see the necessity of watering that seed and nurturing it and protecting it and giving it freeing from the weeds and so forth and so on. So we plant the word deep in our hearts and we grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. The only way to the Father. Already done. How do we lay hold of it? Because it's here in our born-again spirit, where we can't discern with our natural senses, but it's on account, sealed. Not sealed up so we can't get it, but sealed up so nothing can get in and corrupt it. That's important to understand. Because rivers of living water flow from what was once a very thirsty and dry land, you see. Once we have Jesus. Aha. So that through them, through what? The promises, you may become partakers of the divine nature. Christ in you, the hope of glory. You are, as Christ is, so are you in this world. Having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. As Christians, true disciples, believers belonging to Jesus Christ, we should not be paralyzed by fear and worry and doubt or be in slavery to our circumstances. We have everything we need to live in freedom and to have the abundant life Jesus came to provide us with, don't we? We have his word, we have his spirit, we have his name, we have his blood, we have his faith, the very faith of Jesus Christ. We have his delegated authority, we have the gifts of the Spirit, we have the fruit of the Spirit. It's all there. In the bank and in the tank. He's given us his promises to escape the corruption, to overcome the circumstances, if you will, of this world. Two things I just want to touch on today. Two of the most crippling things that we deal with are bitterness and disappointment. Resentment or bitterness and disappointment or loss. We're equipped, but the wounds of life can hit us very hard sometimes, can't they? And bitterness, unforgiveness, disappointment, hurt, loss. We can get stuck. And this hurts our effectiveness in the long haul as believers. We have to learn to navigate through these seasons in our lives. Otherwise, we can go shipwreck. Or just be like that ghost ship that I ministered about one time sailing aimlessly. Now listen, this is something I'm very, very familiar with. I have lived it. I have experienced it. Much more before I was a believer. And I've seen it at work in believers. To the point that they were just stuck on something. A loss, a death, a betrayal, something. And it paralyzed them in this life. And it brought a slow death, is all it is. That's what it is. And that's what it'll do. My own mother, I watched. I watched myself throw away everything that God tried to give me. For decades. Never going to leave you in that condition. You know that, right? No matter what storms confront you. Remember this. Can sail into the wind. Do you know that? It certainly can. But you have to manage the rudder and the sails just right. The rudder for us is what? Our tongue. And the sail is what? The attitude of our heart. The heart of the matter, my wife would say. I'll say it like this. We want the breath of God and not the winds of adversity to fill our sails. Amen? Like ships sailing into the wind, that rudder or that tongue steers us. And the sail, the heart attitude, propels us or empowers us to go in the desired direction. So what do we do? We replace hurt. Remember, you can't stop thinking about something by trying to stop thinking about it. It's replacement therapy. So we replace hurt with God's word, his promises, his instructions. Because God is love. And he loves you more than you know. Not more than you can possibly know. Because Paul prayed that we would be given a spirit of wisdom and revelation to know the love of God that he has for us. So press in. Get a revelation of the love that God has for you. It'll put wind in your sails, and you'll just be like, woo, jump in the waves. God wants us unstuck. Our memories and our losses can't be bigger, can't remain bigger than our dreams. Amen. Our problems can't be bigger than our God. So the simple truth is like a formula. Which there are no formulas with God, but just something. Sometimes it's good to have little things to help you, you know, remember by. Keep you on track. I'm gonna, I derive this from a scripture. I'm gonna go backwards. The simple truth is like this trusting God over our situations or feelings equals humility and the fear of the Lord, equals prosperity and honor and life. That's what's implied in Proverbs 22, 4. Humility and the fear of the Lord. Bring prosperity and honor and life. So this is the goal. And God delights in the prosperity of his children, doesn't he? In 3 John 2, it says, Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in good health, even as thy soul prospers. It's a correlation there with what's going on between these ears, you see. Even as thy soul prospers. Because very seldom you see someone who is stuck on hurt and bitterness and resentment and things like that. You very seldom will you see them prospering in their relationships and in their finances and in their health. You see what I'm saying? So there is a correlation, isn't there? God is good and he wants good for you. Right? So we can't have our tongue, our words, and heart in adversity, out of step with God. Amos 3, 3, how can two walk together unless they be agreed, right? So if we're out of step speaking words that don't line up with God's word, and our heart is not free of bitterness and unforgiveness and disappointment, then we're out of step with God. He still loves us, and he's calling us back to this because it's good for you. This is the owner's manual. Hallelujah. If we get out of step, it's not going to yield the fruit we desire and that God desires for us. And really it will be playing into the hands of the devil, even if we don't mean to. No one would do that on purpose. I think even the knuckleheads that call themselves devil worshipers, if they really knew what that meant, they wouldn't do it. There's nothing good at the end of that. So we get the seed of God's word, his promises planted in the gardens of our hearts. Then, out of the abundance of the heart, what happens? The mouth speaks. Right? And now, having planted, we begin to harvest from what we planted, right? Then, once we've harvested, we're full, we begin to sow the seed. Which produces after its own kind. You're going to get what you sow, later than you sow, more than you sow. That's a spiritual law. Jesus starts with money. He says, let me teach you this law, and this is the least of all things, money, but it's something you're familiar with. So let me show you how it works. Because it it pertains to everything in the kingdom of God. If we believed it, Samuel said, We sin because it's unbelief. He's right. All sin is a form of unbelief. I believe in Jesus, yes. So does the devil, and he trembles. What did Jesus say? Go into all the world and make disciples, teaching them to obey everything I have taught you. Well, we're not under the law anymore. Okay. I didn't say he stopped loving you. He stopped loving her today. No, never. Jesus paid it all. You want to live sick and tired and mad? You're going to reap a harvest, and it ain't going to be from God. That's all I'm saying. He does not want that for you. He loves you too much. Proverbs 18, 21. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. And those who love it will eat its fruit. That means whatever you sow, you're going to reap. James, the brother, the half-brother of Jesus. He gave us some stern warnings regarding our speech, didn't he? He was pretty frank. I always say the only one who was more blunt than Jesus' brother James was his other brother, Jude, who did a one-pager in the Bible. Started off saying he wanted to preach about one thing, but he was so mad about something else. Those who had taken the grace of God and turned it into a license for sin that he felt like he needed to address that. And he didn't take long to do it. But James said in chapter 3, verse 5 and 6, so also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell. Now, I don't think I need to even explain that any further. He didn't mince any words there. He was speaking, of course, of the negative aspects of negative speech, right? You don't set. Amen. And remember, first, we maintain, what did Proverbs 22, 4 say? We maintain humility first. And good stewardship, right? Keep God first. This is all part of humility. Good stewardship. What's that mean, good stewardship in God's eyes? Realizing that everything you have and that you are and that you receive is not your own doing. It's of God and it's all his. That's good stewardship, keeping that in mind. Keeping God first. This is humility. Forgive everyone quickly. Why is that humility? Because it recognizes that you understand that you were forgiven. You were barabbas. You were on death row, and Jesus took that punishment for you. So who are you to hold some silly grudge against somebody else? When God says, give it to me, I got it. I don't miss nothing. You be free. Sheep were never meant to carry packs on their back. I'm God, you're not. Enjoy that. Enjoy that. I said last week, why would anyone, like that dumb devil, Satan, when he was Lucifer, why would you want to be God and have the burden of all that responsibility on your shoulders when you can just be his beloved child and enjoy everything he has and let him do all the heavy lifting. Oh, wow. Oh. So healthy, filled with the joy of the Lord. Purpose. Purpose. Purpose is powerful. And you were all born with a purpose. But you know the graveyards are filled with people who never entered into their purpose in this life. Oh, whatever happens, that's what God meant. That's not true. That's the sovereignty of God preached in error. God is sovereign, God is the Alpha and Omega, God is all that and a bag of chips. But we have a free will. But we certainly are supposed to be blessed and healthy and filled with joy and purpose, and we are blessed to be a blessing. We are helped to go and help others with that same help we've received of God. In various ways, spreading love and light in the midst of a dark and desperate world. So I'll close here. We know the truth. Before you say, oh, he thinks he knows everything. We don't know everything. No, we don't. We're going to keep on growing and knowing more and more until we see him face to face. Praise God. But we do know the truth because Jesus is the truth. So we know Jesus. And that's what I mean by that. We know the truth, thanks be to God. And to remain humble, we remember the time we did not know him. We don't linger there. So we're hoping and praying for everyone to know him. Amen. I'm saying this so you hear me. And no matter what background someone has, no matter what denominational setting or where they're from in the world, or what, no matter what, no matter who, no matter where. If they have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, then they are our brothers and sisters in Christ. John 14, 6, Jesus said, I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. So he's not just one of the ways. He is the way. He was either a big liar or every other religion and claim is a big lie. And that has to be your stance. It has to be if you are a part of him. God formed us, sin deformed us, the Bible informs us, but only the real Jesus transforms us. This woke sickness of the mind in today's culture is just communism rebranded. And spiritually speaking, Satan is behind it always. And his end goal is to get rid of the teaching of the Word of God. Don't be deceived. That's the real thing. That's the real end goal of all the craziness you see. They may not know it. Our battle's not against flesh and blood. There's a spiritual battle going on everywhere. And Satan works from lots of different fronts, trying to penetrate, to disrupt, and to prevent people from coming to know the true and living God. And when he can't prevent the teaching of the Word of God, he incorporates himself into traditional religious settings where he believes it gives him cover and a platform which is already Christian looking. So just an example. But just since I'm on this example, how he infiltrates and puts himself into religious settings that are Christian looking, that are already established, and will give him some credibility. I will say this Catholicism fits the devil's playbook just for that reason. Oh, he speaks out against Catholics. I do not. I have a lot of Catholic friends. I love everyone. Hello. One of my wife's best friends is a Muslim. She loves Jesus now. Listen, it's not about individuals. I am talking about institutions and false teaching. But the devil does. He infiltrates those sort of settings. And there's lots of other breakoffs and splinters and things like that. My great-grandfather was a denominational pastor. And right now, my mama would say he'd be rolling over in his grave. Because of the things that have taken place. And this is exactly what I mean. The devil infiltrates, and then he has a platform. This is hard teaching, but you have to hear it in love. And the fact that God is just pointing out the deception. It doesn't mean that we turn on anyone or any group as a whole. You see what I'm saying? It just means we're mindful that just because someone puts on a robe or turns their collar around backwards, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're of God. And you have to know this word and plant it in your heart so that you can protect yourself from the deception. Jesus warned about it. The Bible warns about it explicitly on many occasions. Because traditions, here's the thing. See, a lot of people love the tradition and stuff, and sometimes it is. It's very beautiful. I mean, you know what I mean? I really uh enjoy some of it, actually, you know, because I'm thinking of what it means really. It's all pointing to Jesus and stuff like that. You know what I'm talking about? Even the the old uh you know the I don't want to get off track I'm finishing here Oh boy that would be a good place traditions dilute the word traditions dilute the word they can they don't have to but they can let me just let Jesus in it it talks about in Mark 7 but I I'll go from Matthew chapter 15 verses six through nine Jesus said for the sake of your tradition so he's not complimenting them for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God they elevated their tradition above the veracity of the word of God, the intent. For the sake of your tradition, you have made void the word of God, you hypocrites. See, people don't talk about Jesus saying things like this. And then he quotes the prophet Isaiah. Well did Isaiah prophesy of you when he said, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. In vain do they worship me. Sounds a whole lot like, Lord, Lord, depart from me. I never knew you, you workers of iniquity. You see what I'm saying? In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. That means they had started going past the word of God and making commandments out of things of their own creation, their own desires, their own wicked minds and intents of the heart. He was quoting the prophet Isaiah from chapter 29, if you ever want to go back and read that. Because he elaborates on it even more. I won't go there. Would love to. 1 Timothy, wrapping things up here, chapter 4. 1 Timothy. Not 2 Timothy. There's two of them. 1 Timothy chapter 4, verses 1 through 3. I say things like that so you'll remember. 1 Timothy 4, 1 through 3. Now the Spirit, that's capital S, the Holy Spirit, expressly says that in the latter times, some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits, little less. That means demons. Deceitful spirits and teachings of demons through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared. That means they don't even feel guilty about it anymore. They've built their lives around a lie, and now if they find their way to a pulpit, it's just a place to spew their propaganda. You see what I'm saying? Their consciences are seared. Jesus said in these end times, sin will increase because the love of many will wax cold because of sin. And so their consciences are seared, who forbid marriage? Now, who would do that? I tell you what. Peter and them were married. Peter was crucified right alongside his wife, upside down. And they said he was the first pope, which he wasn't. But then they don't allow their priests to marry. Who made that up? Tell me who made it up based on the scriptures, just looking at the scriptures, what would you deduct from that? That in the that in the end times, and believe me, when they wrote this, they said it was the end times. So devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods and things that God's created and received and thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. So he was talking about specific things, but that's just one of the points, you see? And when you do that, when you go against God and you create a law calling it something religious, implying that it's godly and it's not, it's from a little s instead of the capital S, Holy Spirit, then who's it inviting in? Well, they made a law order honoring me. I have legal right there. It's what the devil says. Today we have a couple of massive Trojan horses inside the church. Talking about the body of Christ at large. Anti-Semitism, anti-Jew, anti-Israel, and the compromise of the Word of God. And the former comes from the latter. If you eat the whole scroll, the whole Bible, there's no way you can be anti-Semitic. You have to come up with crazy replacement theology and all these different. Why is there so many different theologies? Is Christ divided? Nope. It comes from deceitful spirits and teachings of demons. That's right. All the divisions and schisms are not from God. Jesus' prayer was that we would all be one. And that our unity and our love one for another would point us out as his children. And would glorify him, you see? Antisemitism and the compromise of the Word of God. You see it in a lot of political and media folks these days. Yes, you do. That's the reason that I mentioned Catholicism just as one of the many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many things that the enemy can infiltrate and has. Because you see people like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson and that guy that just resigned from the White House, and they all gravitate toward Catholicism and anti-semitism. I'm pointing it out to people that have the Spirit of God so that they can pray about it and decide how they need to pray about it. Because trust me, the end times has everything to do with Israel and the church. Everything that will happen naturally in the Jewish nation of Israel and to the Jewish people naturally before the spiritual manifestation of that thing happens in the church. That's how it works, always has. Whatever truth is of God, if there be any error in me or any of us, I pray that God shows it to us and reveals it and helps us to shine a light on it so that we can repent and just embrace His truth. That's all I ever want for anybody. Because His way is perfect. So those things are sad. They should not be, and we must pray and stand against that dark presence, is all I'm saying. And in the end, remember, we keep it simple. I know that's kind of not something that's kind of heavy, like, ooh. Well, you have you have a part to play. Like I said, Jesus isn't here preaching the gospel and setting things in order anymore in person. He delegated that to the church. That's why he needs real disciples, not just people who said, Oh, I was baptized last week and I'm going to this big church and I met somebody. You know, that's part, some of that, none of that stuff is bad on its own. But if that's all there is, that's not enough. That's not what God has called us to. Those I may say we may see those people in heaven if they really meant it. But what God wants is us to get past ourselves and get on to the business of being kingdom builders and being his mouthpiece and his feet and his hands in a sick and dying world. As he's bringing about this third great awakening and revival all over the world, he needs people that can speak the truth and love the real truth, not watered down or altered or compromised truths. Right? So we focus on Jesus. Love everyone. God is love. So if you compromise his word or his truth, you're not walking in love, right? That's just the you're you're you're siding with the devil, and we don't want to do that. Incidentally, I often refer to people pleasers, that man-pleasing spirit, which the Bible says is a snare of the devil. I always often refer to them, again, it's kind of mean sounding, but I want you to remember it. So I say some things that I do. But I refer to people pleasers, which is the snare of the devil, as mealy-mouth fence sitters. You ever heard me say that? And then last week I was trying to remind you that the fence belongs to the devil, and I said the fence belongs to God. So I'm correcting myself. I heard it in my replay. Somebody has to listen to my messages, so I do. And I'm always blessed. I pretend it's not me. To see if it was really God. And I'm like, yeah, okay, that was good. That part might have been me. Lord, forgive me. I hope they didn't hear that. And so I'm correcting myself on that. It either glorifies the Father and the Son or it doesn't. The agreeable road, the broad road that doesn't ever hurt any feelings, is the broad highway to hell, isn't it, Samuel? And that narrow path that leads to Jesus and the Father. Jesus said it's narrow, and then it's relatively few that find it. Jesus said that. Salvation simple. We don't want to complicate the gospel. What Jesus has done and the free gift that it is, and just to open up our hearts and to receive it by faith. That's it. So we're keeping it simple. So what is the message today then? Discipleship is key. Keep anchored in the Word of God. Navigate pain by applying the promises and the provision of God and casting all the weeds, the cares upon Jesus. Then make sure your tongue says only what God says, because you'll have what you say. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. And if you have Jesus, you have his life. He loves you. And so do I. Amen. Is that what you get out of that today? I hope so. Heavenly Father, thank you so much for your precious word, for discipling us in the truth, the word. Thank you, Jesus, that you are the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and our precious Lord and Savior. We love you and we love you for everything that you've done and everything that you are. We thank you, Father, that you gave us your Son, and that you did what you did, Jesus. And that you're seated at the right hand of the Father. And we thank you that you have sent the Holy Spirit here to be with us, the paraclete to come alongside us and take hold together with us against every obstacle that faces us in this life, to teach us and to guide us and to prepare us and protect us. And we thank you for the angels you've assigned to encamp round about us. We thank you that we are blessed, love children of God. If there's anyone who does not know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, just say this prayer. If you believe the message, and you desire to have Jesus come into your life and be the Lord of your life, to repent of your old life and to lay it down and to only take it up again new in him. Say this prayer. Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus Christ is your Son. I believe that He came to earth and lived a sinless life. That he laid down that life on the cross of Calvary and took my sin and the judgment for my sin on his body on the cross and laid down his life for me. I believe he was resurrected from the dead on the third day by you, Lord God, and that he lives today. Jesus, I ask you to be my Lord and Savior to the exclusion of all others. In Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Have you said it and you meant it? I'll see you in heaven. God bless you. Love you all.
