SPEAKER_02 1:28

The Bible says to serve the Lord with gladness. The Bible says to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. And this is what we're doing right now because God is worthy of our praise. Hallelujah. If God says to praise, well, let's praise. If God says to shout, then shout. If God says to dance, if God says to leap for joy, let's go ahead and do that. Praise God. Well, I'm stuck in my living room. Tune anyways. Hallelujah. Put your hands together. Let's praise God. Blessed be his holy name. Wherever you're listening from, praise God. Hallelujah. Welcome everyone on Facebook. Welcome everyone on YouTube. Praise God. Hallelujah. Praise God. Clap your hands. I don't serve a 32nd God. Blessed be his holy name. Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. As her sister was singing, Oh the joy. Praise God. I thank God it's not down the street somewhere. It's not around the corner. Amen. Someone could say in me. Praise God. Hallelujah. So again, I welcome every one of you. This is a live stream from the House of God here in Montreal. We started about uh what what time is it now? 5 30. We started four hours ago in the French on the French side, and this is what we were doing in French. Now we're just gonna do it in the English. Praise God, hallelujah. Last chapter of Psalms, praise ye the Lord, praise God in his sanctuary, praise him in the firmament of his power, praise him for his mighty acts, praise him according to his excellent greatness. So if we praise him according greatness, praise God, our hands are not in our pockets. Someone say amen. Praise God, because God is a great God, amen. The Bible teaches us he is greatly to be praised, praise God, amen. Full of wonders is what the Bible teaches us as well. Praise God, amen. His name is Wonderful. Praise God, hallelujah! Amen. If if I need to go on, I'll just go on, amen. I want somebody, I want to hear some of you. I know on the other side of that camera, I really don't hear you, but by faith, y'all be jumping up and down and clapping, moving your feet and dancing better than the way I dance, but hallelujah, praise God. Just move a little bit because there's no death no longer reigns in our mortal bodies, amen. But the live the life that we do have through Jesus Christ our Lord, praise God, hallelujah. One more time, give God a good hand, praise God. Put your hands together and rejoice in the Lord, praise his holy name. Thank God for the victory today. Praise God, hallelujah! In me, I can I can walk in it, praise God, amen. Hallelujah. I can serve God in that victory, give God the praise and give God the glory for that. Amen. Praise God. Well, haven't you heard of what's happening in Iran? Oh, yeah, I've been reading about Iran for 50 years or 55 years, amen. Talk to I know we weren't online last week, but we were talking about it in the Old Testament or even in the New Testament. If you read Elam or Persia, especially Persia, read about Darius and King Xerxes and uh Cyrus the First and Daniel and and um Nehemiah, you read it's all talked to different names, amen. That corner of the country, that corner of the globe has been in trouble since uh since since well, since day one, since they began, since they disobey God. Amen. I've been fighting over land, fighting over resources, fighting over money. Well, it doesn't matter to me. Praise God. Hallelujah. My God has not changed. Amen. Praise God. And I thank God to be the the his workmanship. Amen. When you read Ephesians chapter 2 in the 10th verse, and I know verses 8 and 9, but when you read the 10th verse, that we are created, amen. We become his workmanship, praise God. That means we become what he has created, what he has designed, amen, what he has formed, amen, within his hands. Our sister was singing, puts his hands all around me, praise God, gets to work, and he gets to work on me, praise God, as we as we allow God into our lives and allow God to do what God wants to do, praise God, to be his creation. Hallelujah. We're gonna read, amen, about those as as God made us, as God has created us in the book of James, when we get into the scriptures in a few minutes, and but I thank God if if if only we can have that realization right today, right now, how God made us, praise God, for his purpose. Amen. I know some people they sit around saying, I wonder what I can do. Well, here's a book full of instructions. I lost some amens now, amen. Here's a book full of instructions teaching us what to do. Like I said, when the Bible says clap, y'all better be clapping. Amen. The Bible says to dance, y'all better get your feet off the ground, even if it's just one at a time. Amen. Praise God, hallelujah. You can send me some emoji clapping hands or some emoji hands up in the air. I don't I don't do emojis. Everybody knows I do not do emojis, but there's gotta be some something there somewhere that says emoji, hallelujah, amen, emoji, amen. Praise God, emoji, glory unto God, praise God in the comment section. So as I as I bring this day to a close, when I read all your comments, I'm gonna say, Oh, well, sister was praising, amen. Brother was doing what the Bible says to do, praise God, and I thank God for everyone listening. I'm gonna pray in a couple of minutes, but I thank God for everyone listening on on our YouTube channel. Praise God, thank God, my brother, for greetings from Nova Scotia. I don't know if we've ever met, but I thank God for that blessing on our Facebook page. There's some names which I've never seen before, and I welcome each and every one of you if you're still listening. We're gonna get into the word of God soon. We are going to continue um the we're gonna conclude, but it's a continuation of what we looked at two weeks ago was part three of What You Say Matters, and uh today is gonna be part four of What You Say Matters. We're gonna get into the Bible. I mentioned two weeks ago that we were getting into James territory, and uh we didn't quite make it, but today we're gonna be in the book of James. Praise God. So get your Bibles, get ready to receive from the Word of God. Share this link. Help me to preach, help me to evangelize. The folks that are uh haven't yet figured out it's Sunday. Amen. Thank God for the saints from Rimby. Thank God it's Sunday, praise God. I love Sundays, it's the phrase that our sister coined for us, put together for us, and I thank God, praise God, that we have taken advantage of this time. We have taken advantage of what God has in store for us through the Holy Ghost. Amen. The Bible says that the Holy Ghost that leads and will guide us, praise God. What's in this world will lead us astray, amen. It'll lead us away from where we ought to be. Praise God. But there is a way, and that way shall be called the way of holiness. When you read in Isaiah chapter 35, praise God. For those of you glad to be on that way, you want someone to say thank you, Jesus. Praise God, amen. Before Jesus came, there was no way, amen. There was prophets, there was prophetess, there was women of God, there is men of God that could point, that could prophesy, someone coming, amen. He shall be called the Messiah. Praise God, hallelujah. And Jesus came and he fulfilled every word of prophecy that was spoken, praise God, hallelujah, until the time he was able to say, It is finished. Amen. Put your hands up and be glad for a work that is finished, salvation, praise God, to be had. Hallelujah. Praise God. In our modern-day churches, the doors are wide open and all kinds of stuff is being let in. Praise God for the truth that does not change. Praise God for his word that does not change. I don't have to be caught up with new kinds of songs and new kinds of music and new kinds of flags and new kinds of costumes and new kinds of. Well, if I get into it, I'm just gonna make some people upset, but amen. I got different, it's not the biblical. It's time we get biblical. Amen. Let's get biblical in 2026. Hey, we're already the third march, the third month of the year. What happened to January? What happened to February? It's already gone. We changed times last night. Amen. We're into the we're into the we're into the good part of the year. I mean, things are warming up, but what what's it it it seems like the the the time that is being redeemed right before our eyes? And this is scripture, this is prophecy. Hey, this is 2026. This is God, this is, I'm gonna say God to be, I'm gonna say it is. This is the worst generation since the flood. Amen. Some of you might not like to hear that because we're part of it. Who do we blame? Well, folks running around. Amen. Without the fear of God. Keep your hands up. I'm gonna pray. I'm getting there. Amen. There's two places for all of eternity. You're either in the presence of God or you're gonna be entertaining devils in hell. Lucifer. That's the way my friends, I worked for 20 years in an industry, and that's all they would talk about. Can't wait. Eternal party, Prince of Darkness, all that. And when I kind of remind them about hell, about the about hell as the Bible teaches us, they'll say, Well, you'll you'll get me in. I'm not the way in to heaven. There's gotta be a back door somewhere. No, there's no back door. I've had to explain this over and over and over again. To folks who don't read the Bible. I can't sneak you in, I'm not the door. Jesus is the door. And the Bible says to be unidentified. Amen. Standing at the door, not halfway. I mean, my brother White needs to say no prize for a halfway runner. Well, you figure people, you know, halfway and they give up or they turn around. Some folks they make it to the door, and they'd be knocking on the door. Saying, Let me in, let me in. They don't have the credentials, they don't have the blood, they don't have the name. Amen. His name is. Let's pray and be thankful. Father in heaven, we're so glad today for the name above all other names. So glad today that we are able to have a shepherd. The Lord is my shepherd, the Lord is our shepherd, and we can follow him on a way which doth lead to life. Father in heaven, Lord, I thank God that I pray now that everyone within the son of a voice, Lord, I thank God that they are able to recognize and to realize what is at stake for all of eternity. So that we can we can disregard the influence that caters to this world. God, to make sure that we are relevant to society. God forbid. Our relevance comes from your word. Lord, our relevance comes from being washed in the blood of the Lamb, for having a robe of righteousness, no longer a garment of sackcloth and ashes, but a garment of praise unto you for having our names written in the Lamb's Book of Life, for being attentive, for listening for the sound of the last trump, for when it does make that sound. Those that are asleep in Christ shall be caught up, and we who remain and are alive shall be raised from the dead, rather, and we who are uh remain and are alive, we shall be caught up at the sound. There's gonna be no time to make it right, no time to run and get some more oil and get back, Lord. I thank God today that we can have that wisdom, that intelligence that comes from above. Be part of five virgins who were not foolish, but who had their lamps lit up, make it through the darkness that we are in, because there is light within us. You brought us out of that darkness over into your marvelous light, and I thank God we can be we can walk in the light while there is light because of what you have given us, you have strengthened us, you've given us a mind, you have encouraged us. We receive the exhortation and the edification from your word, from your Holy Ghost that leads us and guides us and brings to remembrance all truth that we need to know so that we can endure until the end to be saved. Father in heaven, touch my brothers and sisters listening today, praise God, across this country, south of the border, and around the world. Thank God for those that came to Christ this morning. Pictures that I received from our churches in Africa. Thank God, bless the pastors, praise God, as they were handing out Bibles, amen to folks going home with the word of God with a Bible for the first time in their life. Father in heaven in Jesus' name, praise God. Touch our brother Sylvain, three weeks in a row, praise God, being found amongst the saints and everyone else, praise God. Let him know, praise God, through your spirit, praise God, that in his hands, that Bible that he received from sister, praise God, and went home, that in his hands, much more precious than anything else this earth has to offer, was the truth given unto him in Jesus' name, praise God. Hallelujah. Blessed be the name of the Lord. As the word of God is about to come forth, Lord, I pray that it makes its way, it falls into good ground, praise God, to be to be rooted in Jesus' name, praise God, for all of eternity. Lord, we need this these instructions, your commandments, and your ordinances written on the fleshly tables of our heart. And I thank God for it today, in Jesus' name, praise God. Touch those, there's ailments in the flesh, praise God, as as summer tries to peek around the corner. There's lingering germs and viruses settling in our in in in I don't know that the name that it's a long list, so I I don't I won't say all the names, I'll just pray in general. Protect us at work, protect us at school. Lord, I bind every germ and virus that's doing a work in people's lungs and people's whatever it is, Father, be healed. Stripes of Jesus Christ. Amen. That there's a difference that can be made right now. Praise God. Rebuke headaches in my brother. Praise God. Waking up, this is not a good day because the head is under all this pressure in Jesus' name. Be loosed right now in the name of Jesus. Praise God. If you're listening, receive your miracle right now in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Praise God. Lord, I pray for Jordan. Touch my brother with life. Praise God. He be that there be an overabundance of life. Baptize him from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, praise God, with life in Jesus' name. We're not looking, we're not seeking after, we're not desiring anything else, but to live, praise God, to live, because to live with the life that your son Jesus Christ has given us in Jesus' name, praise God. Prosper, my brothers and sisters, as offerings continue to come in. Lord, I thank God that their businesses, their contracts, the phone rings, whatever is needed to generate, praise God, our tithes and our offerings, that they be multiplied in Jesus' name. Touch the eyes, every single person that I've seen the billboard. Again, praise God. Two words. Jesus, Savior. Praise God. The message is short, the message is simple, and the message is urgent. That they call upon the name of the Lord to be saved. In Jesus' name, praise God. Anoint the Word of God, anoint the reading of the Word of God. May we be blessed with eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to receive and perceive. But thus saith the Lord today, I bless every single one of my brothers and sisters listening today. Praise God. The time spent together will be a bit will be beneficial to our souls, to our heart, to our mind. In Jesus' name, praise God, to this great salvation which we have received. Praise God. I pray for our leaders. There's trouble in every corner of this land. They don't know what to do, and they want to reject parts of this Bible again. In Jesus' name, praise God. I thank God. Praise God that your spirit can talk some sense into them. In Jesus' name, praise God. May there be order in the leader, in the leader of the opposition, in everybody in between, the prime minister, the president. Pray for peace. There's wars and unrest and death that has taken place so close to Jerusalem, but I pray for peace as you have instructed us in your word, praise God, to make it make a difference because there's too many souls dying and going to hell. It's not about the land, it's not about the oil, it's not about any other resource, it's not about what they wear on their heads or they wear on their on their feet. It's about a soul that needs to be saved, a soul that needs to know to call upon the name of Jesus Christ before it is too late, before a bomb drops on their head, Lord, in Jesus' name, praise God, in Jesus' name, salvation in the name of the Lord, praise God, in Jesus' name, praise God, and all the saints of God, everyone says, Praise God, and amen. Praise God, hallelujah. Put your hands together, rejoice in the Lord once again. Blessed be the name of the Lord, hallelujah. Praise God, praise God, hallelujah. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Praise God. Well, let's get into the word of God. Hallelujah. Get your Bibles, get your Bibles, get your Bibles. Praise God. You may be seated. Those of you here at home, if you're still, if you're still standing, you may be comfortably seated. What's my soul? Hallelujah. Thank God to be rejoicing. Hallelujah. Praise God. Someone say his name. Praise God. Hallelujah. We serve a wonderful God. Praise God. I don't want to lose anyone. I know some of you, like I said, we've been here for four hours. And I don't want to lose any of you. In the meantime, praise God. We are uh we're still here in Quebec, but we're getting ready to um to be in the in the street. Our French trailer was downtown Montreal yesterday. They gave away four Bibles. Simon and Eric, two brothers. Amen. Pray for them. Praise God. This morning, Pastor Michel sent me pictures, uh, five Bibles for um, they were evangelizing in on a Friday and Saturday, and they said many people uh received the word of God. For Pastor Michel, um they I think they have two two cases, 48 Bibles. They need they were required, and we printed 1,000 pamphlets, I get reprinted because we're, I don't know how many hundreds and how many thousands we've given away in the streets. And Pastor Michelle mentioned Saturday night that the reception was good. There was people that were interested, and then they showed up this morning in the house of God and uh went home with the Bible, praise God, and this is this is important for people to recognize uh what this what this resource is, praise God. Amen. When you look at the word of God and what is required in our lives, praise God. So as I mentioned, uh we have billboards that are still up, and um the the the blessing that we have to um in this country before they shut it down. I know once again somebody posted something on a Facebook page here in Montreal called Spotted Montreal. And um, I don't know how many hundreds of comments were generated in a few hours, and uh most people they don't appreciate amen. But thank God for a few. Amen. When somebody says I don't like that, it you know, it's it's eye pollution. And the next comment comes in, look somewhere else. Amen. Praise God. That's what we have to do walking through this world as pilgrims. Amen. We got sometimes quite often we gotta look someplace else. Amen. We have to deflect, we have to go someplace else. I mentioned this on the French side. When I was working and um for about 20 years in the in this industry where we I flew across uh the country several times or drove and in the U.S. as well, and whenever a vehicle was rented, it was my name on the contract, and the keys were in my hand, and I was the driver. I was the DD back in, I don't know if you know what that expression is, the designated driver because I didn't drink. Amen. But there's some places where we had to split, amen. We had to split ways. Amen. You know, I'll drop you off, but I'm not going in. Hallelujah. Because the Lord is my shepherd. I follow Christ Jesus. I'm not an old creature doing old, you know, under old old habits. The old man, the Bible teaches us, the old Lincoln is no longer calling the shots. Amen. And this is what we're gonna look at today, praise God, when we get into the book of James. I'm gonna start in Romans, find the book of Romans, chapter 14. And um, before I do that, I'm going to um thank God for everyone who's listening. And uh, I thank God for that blessing that we do have to be able to identify with Jesus Christ. Praise God. Amen. And the devil is not laying low either. Somebody this week they started a GoFundMe, and uh they're calling it satirical uh Montreal, and uh they're making fun of the billboards, so they have um they they have using the same colors and they're trying to raise money, but the devil is a liar, and it doesn't matter what they do, people will still be talking about the message that will that will that they'll still have in the back of their head, Jesus Savior, amen. With a picture of the holy Bible that's written there, and uh giving people the um the thirst and the hunger to read, to get a Bible. This is what's important. I mean, they can talk, they talk good and they talk bad. They did it, I mean, they did it throughout the Bible. You had people you had the naysayers and you had the yesyers throughout the Bible, so it makes no difference to me, praise God, as long as the name of Jesus Christ is being lifted up, praise God, amen. So the devil can try to be all the devil can do is copy. Amen. So when they start their GoFund page looking for money elsewhere, praise God to to subsidize or to uh to pave the way that they can put up their and just playing around with with uh with nonsense instead of pastor, they have a pat they have pasta, and instead of Jesus, they have spaghetti, and instead of savior, rather, they have spaghetti. They're just like very, very unimaginative as far as their delusion is concerned. And um they want to put they they they want to um they would rather, and this is what the Bible teaches us when we live in a day and a day day and age, and so we do, when they they would take what is good and call it evil, and they will take what is evil and call it good. This is the day and age that we live in, and this is how they want to uh want to spend their time and spend their resources, and uh whatever the outcome is, there's consequences for every decision that a person makes. And I thank God today that the decision that I have made, I have decided to follow Jesus. Praise God. Most of you know that song. Raised in church with that song. Amen. I have decided to follow Jesus, praise God. It's gonna take you to a place where life is everlasting. Amen. It's gonna take you to a place. This is where Jesus, like I said, there was times when I had to split ways with the people that I was working with. And uh, well, if you're going in there, I'm not. It's not for me. Praise God. Once they got to know me, they would even let me know. I'd knock on the door. Who is it? It's Lincoln. Don't come in. Okay, I'm not coming in. Amen. You don't have to warn me twice of what is going on behind closed doors. And uh, I thank God that that a living witness is who we are, whether you be in school or whether you be in um uh uh in the in the workplace or on the on the job site or just even walking the street, people need to be Jesus needs to be identified. Amen. If he was here, I'd let Jesus do it. As he did when he was, but he is no longer amongst us, and the representation still needs to take place, and that means it is up to you and I. Amen. It's it's a false interpretation or a false doctrine that puts people in their in their seats or in their in their um sofas, if you would, and they're not making any effort, not making any, they're not producing, they're not productive for the kingdom of God. And this is who we need to be because there's something in us that gives us that life. There's something in us that makes us who we are in Christ. Praise God. We've been looking, and there's something, and and by saying all of this as well, it boils down to what we say. Praise God. But looking at what we say is important, what we say matters. Amen. In French, the way it was translated was what we say is important. And um the the the word, if you turn before I mentioned Romans 14, but if you want to turn, I'm gonna um repeat a couple of scriptures. Uh, Matthew chapter 12, verse 34, for out, this is Jesus' teaching, for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. And um I want you to keep in mind the word heart, and uh because it's going to uh it's going to repeat. We're talking if you're sitting there saying, Well, I thought we're talking about the tongue, we are talking about the tongue, but it the heart, your heart, my heart plays a major role in what what we speak, what is spoken. So if I ask you the question, what is written, what has God written on the fleshly tables of your heart? And this is important to have the right answer. We read in Proverbs chapter 18, verse 21, death and life are in the power of the tongue. So I'm gonna make sure that that when when I when it when I need to confess that Jesus is Lord, I make sure that that power is on the tip of my tongue, is in my tongue. Praise God. It's important in the word of God. I mentioned something, I don't know if you picked up on this. Um I'm gonna resay it if you could allow me a couple of minutes before we get into the teaching. And um, I just want to talk to you about um the third part in this series where I mentioned for those of you online, you see when I describe it, I said this is a live stream from the house of God in Montreal. Now, I know that this, that God doesn't live in this house. Amen. I know that. I'm living under the, we are living under the new um, the new alliance, oh that's French, the the new covenant. And um I know that God does not dwell in anything that is made with hands. But the fact boils down to the fact of the matter is this building belongs to God. That's why I use that term, this is God's house. And I'm in the carnal right now. I'm gonna step into the spiritual in a minute or two. Right now I'm in the carnal. And even though I am responsible, I'm the man responsible to pay the hydro bill and to pay the oil bill and such. This is not my house. So excuse me. I'm gonna make an adjustment. That might help. So that's why I call this God's house, because this place belongs to him. And again, I'm still in the carnal. If you look around, can you get some grab some verses on the wall? To film me the version. Take the camera off me, and I know it's French because we're downtown Montreal, but I want some of you to see what you haven't, so many people haven't seen it. I mean, I don't know of any other church in the world that has this um interior design. Let's call it that. Amen. By holy men that painted on the wall these scriptures. Remember, I am uh, as I said, I am still in the in the in still speaking earthly, carnally. So this is under the Mosaic covenant, covenant, rather. Moses was told to write on the wall the um the the scriptures, the the word of God, and so and this is what we did, because this is bricks and mortar, this is a carnal structure, if you would, but it is a foreshadowing of things to come. This is important, it's what the Bible teaches us. Whatever occurred in the Old Testament under the Old Covenant was a foreshadowing. We can read it in the flesh, in the carnal, and we can see it taking place in the spiritual. So now I'm gonna step out of the carnal, and you see the verses that are written on these walls. Now I'm gonna talk about what's written on the fleshly tables of my heart. We fast forward to Ezekiel, and God says, I'm gonna remove the heart of stone, and I'm gonna replace it with a heart of flesh. And on those fleshly tables I will write my precepts, my commandments, and my ordinances. And this is where God dwells today in me, not a temple made with hands, but this is where God, when you read, Jesus says, We will come and we will make our abode. And Jesus said, I don't come alone, but my father will come with me. So the foreshadowing of you see verses on these on these walls, that's plaster and bricks and mortar. And um, because like I said, this is not my house, this is not your house, it's this is God's house. He owned this is God's place. This is what God um established uh in 1979 here on this corner for the good of our souls, but now under the new covenant, praise God, so you can better understand what the fleshly tables of your heart needs to look like. Amen. Thank God for a couple of amens. Praise God. I don't know if what you saw written on the walls, if that helps. If you can sit back for a moment or two and say, you know, close your eyes and say, Okay, heart, that's kind of what you need to look like. Amen. Like I said, holy men wrote, you know, painted on these walls. Amen, brother. Praise God. We took the time to do this, but the finger of God, hallelujah, however, God, amen, came down that heart that you received in replacement of the heart that was. God couldn't deal with it. Amen. God wrote, He wrote commandments on a piece of on a on a stone, on a stone tablet, didn't last very long. What's written on my heart? Like I said, C19, or whoever, whatever numbers they want to put on it, you can take this book out of my hands. But what's in my heart? Amen. Someone say, My heart. What's in me? Amen. How many people recited verses this afternoon on the French side? Praise God. Good to see you. Hands going up. Praise God. Because those verses are in you. The Bible was closed or not too far away, out of eyesight, and then you st you were able to stand and recite, memorize, because it's because of what was in your heart. So when Jesus said, He said, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh, when the intelligence that is given us from Solomon, and we receive the uh we receive the understanding of what the tongue is capable of. And this is what when so go into Romans chapter 14 when we read um for it in verse 11, for it is written, as I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, every tongue shall confess to God. That's why I wrote in my subtitle. The title is what you say matters, and I wrote my subtitle today is every tongue shall confess. So it doesn't matter where you read it, subtitle or title, or title to subtitle, every tongue shall confess, what you say matters. And as I said, your heart plays a major role in what is the abundance of your vocabulary, the words that you choose to use. Amen. This is in this, as I say, it begins in your heart. So what has God written? What has God engraved, if you would, what has God written on the fleshy tables of your heart? The Bible closed, there won't be there, there, there, there, your, your vocabulary, your thoughts, your actions, your deeds, your reactions will not be the same as when the Bible is open. Give us this day our daily bread. So as we get turn into the first chapter of James, that's the foundation that I'm gonna lay today. Asking you the question, what has God written upon the tables of your heart through the word of God, what we are going to be reading this afternoon? I trust to um, how can I say this eloquently? I trust to add to the um scriptures, if you would, that are inside of you. Hallelujah. Praise his holy name. This is gonna make a difference. And James, as I mentioned um a couple of weeks ago, James, we get into the territory of James because James, we I am certain that James had the apostle James I'm speaking of, I am certain that the Apostle James has read what we call the Old Testament. And um as you begin to write these letters, these letters are written to, when you read the first chapter, I'm gonna read verse 26, but when you read the beginning of the first chapter, James is writing to a certain group of people. Uh, but it is our understanding that all scripture is given. I mean, I'm tired of hearing people standing up behind pulpits and podiums, and as soon as they use the word context, you I sit back and I'm I I brace myself. Okay, here it comes. Some satanic, you know, thoughts. Amen. To the point where preachers stand up and say, These letters weren't written to me. Good luck getting to heaven. Amen. Paul was written to Corinth, he wasn't writing to Lincoln. Ah, yes, he was. Paul may not have been aware that Lincoln would exist, he Lincoln would show up in January 1962, but when Lincoln showed up in January 1962, there was a word, and it was a word from God. Hallelujah. And I can put my name on this word because this is God talking to me every time I open up this book, every time I open up this resource, this is God directing his word by the spirit of the Holy Ghost. Amen. This is God speaking to me. Hallelujah. Amen. I don't mind the church in Corinth. Praise God. You're gonna do the same thing too when Jesus was talking to a scribe, or when Jesus was talking to a Pharisee, or when Jesus was talking to a hypocrite, or when Jesus was talking to somebody who was wicked, or when Jesus was talking to a dog? See, I don't know about you, but I fit all those categories. Amen. I once was a dog outside. I once was a hypocrite playing around. Now I'm saved, sanctified, there's a change that took place, and it's not just a change that the society can relate to, it's a change that comes from the written word of God. Follow peace and holiness with all man, praise God. Without such, you're not gonna see the Lord. Hallelujah. Be ye separate. This is the change that people need to be uh the to get a hold of. This is the change that the Bible speaks about. This is what it means to be a new creature. Praise God. You're walking out of sickness over into holiness, you're walking out of darkness, amen, into his marvelous light. You're coming out of sin, the sin that is in this world, and there's a sanctification that begins to take place. Praise God. This is God talking to you and me. So I know when you read, this is why, amen, the the the concepts, the ideologies that that are running rapid in the churches these days to try to get them off the hook. The problem with a sinner is because a sinner wants to sin. Without the Spirit of God, you're not going to be in a position to flee from what is evil or to flee from what is corrupted. So if a if a sinner is teaching you, what do you think a sinner is going to teach you? God's not there. Joshua found this out the hard way. God, what happened? Why'd we lose? God, hello? Hello? Hello? God? Where are you? There's sin in the camp. So sin in the camp means God is not in the camp. This is what Joshua was. As I said, learn the hard way. And I thank God today that this that this just because the book has Joshua's name on it doesn't mean that I'm not a partaker of what has been written. Someone say amen. Just because James, you read the first couple of verses, James to the uh who does he dread? Let me get this right. Because I want to find James chapter 1, because I want to drop down to the 26th verse. Because then James says, If any, if any man. So near the end of the your scriptures, find James and Book of Hebrews 13, there's James. Greetings to the 12 tribes. James, he's servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ to the 12 tribes, which are scattered abroad. Verse 1. So if you, and there's more than one verse in the Bible, but if you're going to use that verse, well, I guess he's written writing to the 12 tribes. Now, if you drop down to verse 26 in the same chapter, if any man, oh, that's me. Hallelujah. If any man among you seem to be religious and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, underline that word, heart. Surprisingly, if you well, if I can, if you allow me to use that term, surprisingly, heart just showed up. We're talking about the tongue. If any man among you seem to be religious and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Do we understand what a bridle is used for? Turn the page into chapter three, but we're gonna again we're gonna pick up on that word bridle, which means it's it's something used to restrain, it's something used uh to allow us to guide. And that guidance is by the person in charge. Excuse me. James elaborates on this a little bit. He says, My brethren, verse uh chapter three, James chapter one. My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. For in many things, I underline the word many, for in many things we offend all, and I underline the word all. And I I continue to read verse two. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man and able also to bridle the whole body. Now, my text I circled the word whole H W H O L E, because that word is going to show up two more times soon in the text as we continue to read. For I'm gonna repeat verse 2, for in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, able also to bridle, there's the word bridle again, the whole body. And again, bridle is used to guide, according to the one who is who the bridle belongs to, who the is using the bridle, and we get into the details in verse 3. Behold, we put bits in the horse's mouth that they may obey us. Someone say, obey. Uh that we turn about their whole body. Someone say that you circle the word whole again. So the bridle is put, and listen how James writes this. He says, We put bridles in the horse's mouth so that they obey us. The horse will obey who the person who put the bridle in the mouth. This is important. Verse 4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great and are driven of fierce winds, yet they are turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. So the governor, if you would, in French, it translated the word governor to the word pilot. Most of us can understand the word pilot. If you are in an airplane, the pilot decides whether that vessel goes up or down using, you know, a very small controlling device compared to how how large compared to the size of that aircraft. So when we compare the tongue, you know, what's moving in my mouth right now compared to my body, all six feet of it, the tongue is a small member. And James is going to confirm what I just said as we continue to read. But somehow we've already read the word W-H-O-L-E twice. The whole body. This has a detrimental effect, if you would, to the entire package. And when I read, remember, behold, we, verse 3, we put bits in the horse's mouth that they may obey us. Amen. And verse 4, it says, There is a governor that is deciding, despite the winds, there is a governor that decides where how the vessel should be turned. And this is important. As I said, the bridle is used to restrain, if you would, uh, to bring into check. And when you read here in verse 4, whithersoever the governor listeth, if there is no governor, there is no control. If I'm gonna repeat that. So the the the word of God, the Bible right now, here's this is what governs. Amen. I'm carrying my Bible under my arms right now. Because this is what this is what governs, this is what is uh what will establish the control. What is being right now imparted in what is being um inserted, if you would, into my heart. Amen. So tomorrow morning or down the road at some point in time, um, I shouldn't maybe say some point on time, I should say at every point in time, we are there is there is a control that has been established, and we are able to make the difference, we are able to be the difference, we be able to show the difference of who we are, who's in control. Praise God. You know, when it's in someone's heart, it just seems to spill, it seems to come out. And the word of God, as we make ourselves subject to the word of God, the word of God needs to be the purpose in our lives. Someone say amen. Praise God. So I'm gonna read verse five. Before I get into verse five, if we sit there and say, Yeah, but the tongue is so small, it's such a small member. Well, let's let's read verse five. Even so, James, I'm reading from James chapter three, if you're just joining with us. Verse five. Even so, the tongue is a little member, but it boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth. And in French, it actually said, How a little how a little fire can burn the whole forest down. Verse 6 and the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. Just for no, I'm not gonna read it, but just for us if you're taking notes, write down Isaiah chapter 30 and the 27th verse. Um, or maybe someone can post it in the comments. If you can post that. Like I said, James was a reader of the Old Testament. You're gonna read, you're gonna read in Isaiah chapter 30, verse 27, you're gonna read a um you're gonna read some words that you're gonna read the same thing, put it this way, under the penmanship of the holy man of God, prophet Isaiah. It could be a little different, but it's you're gonna sit there and say, This sounds familiar. Isaiah 30, verse 27. Right now I'm reading verse 6, and the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. So is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body. There's the third time we read it, circle that word. I have it circled three times in my text. We read the re read that word again. It defileth the whole body and setteth on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire. And where is the fire being relegated to? Reading in James, not making this up. The fire of hell, someone say hell. It was not an ordinary, this is not a campfire. Get your weeders and your marshmallows out. This is hell fire. You might want to run. Amen. Now just just to dig down a little deeper. I've already used the illustration about my little tongue and all six feet of me. We're talking about the whole body. I'm gonna step myself out of what is carnal into what is spiritual and talk about the body of Christ. Now it's just no longer this, what you see, this vessel here. This is every one of us. Someone say me and you. Praise God. Say it. We're talking about me and you. Amen. For those of you listening, you want it in proper English, we're talking about you and I. Praise God. The body of Christ. Amen. We there is members in the body of Christ. This is not just a hand, an arm, and an elbow and a knee, and whatever else, an earlope. This is the there, there is, when you read, we read in verse 2 and we read in verse 3, the whole body is turned. Then we read, the whole body is bridled. And now in verse 6, verse 7, we're gonna read that the whole body, or rather, in verse 6, the whole body is defiled. As I said, very important.

unknown 55:59

Amen.

SPEAKER_02 55:59

As I said, there's a lot of weight, there's a lot of responsibility on that little member, even so the tongue is a little member, verse five. The whole body is turned by it, the whole body is bridled, brought under control. You're established, the bridle establishes control. Allah some amen. Verse 7 for every kind of beasts and of birds and of serpents and of things in the sea is tamed and hath been tamed of mankind, but the tongue, no man, I underline those two words, no man. Verse 8, but the tongue can no man tame. Bring under subjection if you would. For it is an unruly evil full of deadly poison. Well, we just read, Brother Lincoln, we just read that no man can tame. What are we going to do? Is there an option? Is there something that can be done? Well, the Bible says, No man can tame it, but we just finished reading that it can be bridled. See, if I've heard people use this excuse, the verse that we just read, and they said, Yeah, no man can tame it. And it's usually followed by some kind of discourse of um displeasure unto God. I'm gonna call it that way. Storytelling, something that divides, and something that is not uh subject to edification or subject to exhortation, and then we make excuses why there's a G D coming out of our mouth, or an OMG, same thing, comes out from behind the pulpit, even omg, careful. I mean careful when you use the name of God unto glory, unto praise, unto worship. This is how the this is what the Bible teaches us, but not in vain. And then we sit there. I know you can use verse 8 or verse 9 to say, Well, we can't tame it, it's just an unruly fire, it's out of control, then bridle it. Because this is what we read. If it can't be tamed, it can be bridled. Amen. And a bridle, when we read, if you if you want to rewind a little bit, it's teaching us that the the the bridle is and of the whole body when you read in verse 2 and in verse 3 can turn about the whole body. The bridle is used is is used by those who place the bridle, you know, the the the rider, if I feel I'll go back to the horse as an example because I want you to get this. That the before you saddle a horse, the the um the the bridle or the the manes or the reins rather are are um are attached to the horse. As you can tell, I'm not a horseback rider, I've been around horses, but and once once that has been set up, you are able to give direction to the horse. Even though the horse wants to go that way, it's not going to go that way because there's a bridle. There's something that is governing its direction, something that is changing its thoughts, something that is letting the horse knows know that I am not, uh as long as this bridle's in my mouth, I'm not the one in control. I'm not the one making the decisions. As long as this word of God is in your heart, as long as the Spirit of God, the Word of God is in your heart, in your mind, in your soul, the decision, allow those decisions to be made correctly and spiritually and biblically, allow those decisions to be made by what is written on the fleshy tables of your heart. That's the bridle. You may not see the bit, you may not see what's inside my mouth because we are still in these earthly vessels, but the word of God that I allow God to do his his work and that I allow God to the word of God in my life every single uh time we get together. When my brother reads, when there's the scriptures, when the scriptures are are being memorized, they're being brought forth in such a way that it my my my uh my intake is godly. Amen. My intake is biblical. Praise God. Amen. But the tongue can no man tame, it's unruly, full of deadly poison, but it can be bridled. Someone say amen. So let's continue reading. Verse nine. Therefore, bless we God. Um, as we read the next few verses, it's interesting the um uh the sides, if you would, the the two different directions, the the uh how we how we go from one side to the next. And and by next I mean the second side. There's only two there's wisdom which descendeth from above, and there's wisdom which is not from above. And um, so keep that in mind as we read. Therefore, bless we God, the Father, and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. So, James here he's giving us the understanding that you may be bad-mouthing brother or sister so-and-so, but don't forget the God aspect of that situation. I've said this before. When I look at my brother, I see the blood. Hallelujah. When I look at my sister, I see the blood. Praise God. I can't look at my brother and sister ordinarily, because they've been washed in the blood of the Lamb. Verse 10 says, Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. Okay. But James says at the end of verse 10, my brethren, these things ought not so to be. He said, That's the way it is, but it's not supposed to be like that. Someone say change, someone else say sanctification. Hallelujah. Can I keep reading? Verse 11. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? Either can a vine produce figs. No. So can no fountain both yield salt, water, and fresh water. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? Let him show out of a good conversation his works. I know sometimes quite often James or certain passages in James are neglected because when we start to get into works, workmanships, and such phrases, it kind of um it goes against some doctrines that exist. But you can't avoid it because it's in God's word. You can't avoid it because it is written. Before you decided to come along and try to change it, it has already been written. So I'm gonna read this again. Where it talks about who we are. Is there a wise man, is a wise woman endued with knowledge among you? Let them show out of a good conversation their works with meekness of wisdom. It's not about who I am, it's all about who I am in Christ. Amen. It's not about what I did. Thank God for Calvary, thank God for the cross, made me who I am. I'm not a self-made man, I'm not educated out of the, you know, out of the realms of whatever whatever this the system may have to offer. But I thank God today, amen. This is not the you know, theology from from YouTube, this is not faith out of Facebook, this is not a gospel according to whoever else it is. This is God's written word. This is written by holy men. Whether you believe in holy men or holy women or not, this Bible was inspired of the Holy Ghost and written by men who are holy. As they wrote these words, James being one of them. Someone say amen. Don't get too quiet. Verse 13. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? Let him show out of a good conversation his works, and conversation is just not what we talk, conversation is how we live. Amen. Well, I thought we were talking about the tongue. Yeah, but when the tongue is bridled, what happens to the Whole body? What happens to all the body? The whole body not only is going to sound good, it's going to look good. It's going to disperse a good spirit. You will be able to walk into a room and change the atmosphere. Because who is walking into that room with you? His name is Jesus. Amen. Have you heard about the war in Iran? Yeah, let me tell you what the Bible says. Praise God. The Bible talks about Iran. It does under a different name. Like I said before earlier, I think I mentioned this on the French side. For sure on the French side, I'm not sure if I mentioned this on the English side. I think I did, but when you read of Persia, you're reading about that land. Amen. Persia was a little deep. The Persian Empire, when it was in its full bloom, if you would, was a lot bigger than Iran. But that's that whole country. And it got messed up by a man by the name of Muhammad. Amen. Some camel riding illiterate in the desert. And so he was. He couldn't read. Amen. Not only am I, now this is what the difference is between, what's the difference between the Quran and the Bible? This is written by the Word. And I and I have it and I have a good resource that teaches me that the Word was a good reader. Jesus Christ, not only is the not only is He the Word, not only did He stand and read the scrolls in the synagogue, Jesus Christ was not illiterate. He was full of the Word and well able to read. Thank God that we are where we are today. Amen. I know they want in on this, but righteousness exalted the nation. Praise God. For righteous people in Canada, for righteous people in the United States, for righteous people in your neighborhood to make a difference. In your county, in your villages, wherever you are, because of God in us. Like I said, you should be able to walk into a room and change that whole atmosphere. That's what happened when I would work. I'd come in the room or I'd be in the room, and people see me. Oh, yeah, we can't swear Lincoln's here. Just change your vocabulary. Just because of the respect that you demand. You don't use the name of my Lord and Savior in vain. Say whatever you want to say, but you don't curse and not in front of me. This is who we are. And this is what we're doing, verse 13. Let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. What kind of conversation? Someone say it. Good. What kind of life? Livelihood? Good. And the next three, four verses are important. And then we pray. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, in your where? Funny as we've been talking about the tongue for the past month. Heart shows up quite a bit. It's the inside of you. Where God has taken the time and the precision to write upon those fleshly tables. Do you have a new heart? Come on, listeners, do you have a new heart? But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not and lie not against the truth. Don't work against the truth. See, I mentioned this about an hour ago. When we are faced, and we all we all are faced with eternity. So put eternity in in front of your face. Eternity. Where am I gonna end up? And once you end up there, there's there's no going back. There's no getting out. Amen. People think they go to hell to rehabilitate. Uh uh. Hell is not a rehabilitation center. Get right with God now. You don't go to hell for 30 days and come out rehabilitated. See, I have to explain this to people I would work with. You know, they'd be all saying, ah, yeah, you know, highway to hell and ACDC and rock and roll and parties and whatever are the words they'd use in hell, it's gonna be great. Then when I'd remind them what hell actually is, yeah, well, you'll you'll be able to get us out, right? No. Yeah, you'll be able to get us into heaven like there's there's like a back door. No. You can see their minds working over time, still not saved, but at least they know I'm not the door, I'm not the one gonna let you in. So you can think, and this is why people today they don't have they're not they're not serving God, they're not serving God with fear, they're not serving God with righteousness because they don't have this understanding. It's being avoided, it's a subject, it's a topic that is being avoided behind so many pulpits today. So that men and women, sorry, so that men and women know what they're facing. Keep going the way that you're going, don't do anything about it, you will end up in hell. Been asked the question what do you have to do to go to hell? Nothing. You were born, and if you do nothing, welcome to hell. Amen. What do you gotta do to get to heaven? I'm glad you asked. According to Jesus, he said, You must be born again. There's a start. Some folks believe, well, there's nothing we can do, there's nothing as far as salvation. Thank God for the cross. Because none of us could do the cross like Jesus did the cross. I was well represented on the cross, on that ugly, horrible, splintery piece of wood. My sins were nailed, even my sufferings and my sorrows were taken to that wood and nailed to that tree. Couldn't do that. Amen. But now that the cross has had this effect on my life, the blood which was shed has washed me from my sins, I become his workmanship in Christ Jesus. Amen. Unto good works. Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus, and James is writing the same thing to us. This is intelligence which comes from above. Lie not against the truth. When we read the truth that is in this word in the Bible today, and this is what, like I said, the truth, you can't turn hell into fun and games. Because it's not going to be like that. The Bible says that God is a righteous judge. The Bible also teaches us that God has righteously judged or condemned Lucifer and the angels that followed him out of heaven to an eternity in the lake of fire which burns with fire and brimstone. This is God's judgment. And there's no way when you look at everything, every every evil, every deception, every death, every war, every torture. I'm trying to list the things that the devil is responsible of. Remember, God is a righteous judge, and he will be righteously punished if you want. Be to use, if you would, if I can use that word, punished. So you can't turn hell into fun and games. I don't care what Hollywood has to say about it. Hollywood's hell only exists on the screens in the theaters or on your TV or whatever screens. The place which has enlarged its doorway, its mouth that God created, that exists when you read it off the pages of my King James Bible. You don't want to play around with that. And as I said, when I read these verses, look how it, look how we there's a balance that is being uh equated by the writings of James that balances we have wisdom from above, we have wisdom from below. You can't play the game. You know, just try to be, they're not coming to church, they're not here, they're not sitting in front of me. So you can't have one step over, you know, the left foot on this side and the right foot on this side. Creating the gap. The Bible says to stand in the gap. In the gap, I don't know if you can use this as a verb, but the gap is getting gappier, it's getting wider today with our government, folks in charge that are making, I mean, fix the potholes in our street. Don't try to fix religion because this is what we're talking about today. How religion becomes vain because there's no bridle, then they want to take it away. No Romans chapter 1, no Leviticus chapter 18. I think that's the chapter. I forget the third part, third element they want to take out of the book. And now our government announces a couple of days ago we're gonna fast track it. Sure, why not? Because gay pride month is coming up, it's just around the corner. Let's get rid of the last holy standard that is standing between the abomination that is upon this earth and God's people. So we can celebrate. A whole month of abomination. There's people dying in a war. They're gonna get one day a year, Veterans Day, Remembrance Day. That's all they get. People laying down their life so that I can speak as I'm speaking right now, and they just get one day. But the abomination before God, they get third, they get a whole month, four weeks, loose in our streets. What is good has become evil, and what is evil has become good. Look at the balance, like I said. Wisdom from above. I know we haven't read that verse yet, I'm getting there. Thank you for your patience. Amen. Wisdom from above, wisdom from below. Let's get back to James. If there be envying and strife, I underline that because that repeats. In your hearts, glory not and lie not against the truth. This wisdom, what wisdom that makes strife, it descendeth not from above, but is earthly, it is sensual, it is devilish. Uh-oh. He said, if this is what is in your heart, glory not. Now, if I was allowed, if you permit me to um, I don't want to use the word translate, but if you permit me to add my commentary to glory not, I think glory not is a real polite, real nice word of saying, keep your mouth shut. We've heard mom say, if you have nothing better to say to your sister, to your brother, my wife says that to me. If you have nothing better to say, Amen. Now she's gonna change. Instead of saying, just keep your mouth shut, she's gonna say, if you have nothing better to say, glory not. It's nothing good to say nothing good to say. No, but after having said something bad, if you have nothing better to say than that, glory not. People get up and glory. Oh, I'm a sinner, I've sin every day, I follow. It's nine o'clock in the morning, you already sinned. Don't follow me. No, it's a good thing. Thank you for the advice. I won't be following you. I'll be following Jesus Christ. Amen. I'm looking for wisdom which cometh from above. Praise God. The word of God. My Bible, which is holy. Amen. Now let's, as I said, we're gonna we're gonna go from one aspect to the next. So verse 16 teaches us, James chapter 3, for where envying and strife is, there's those two words again, there is confusion and every evil work. Amen. But God is not the author of confusion. Hallelujah. So we have verse 17 and 18 before I pray. But the wisdom, remember verse 15, this wisdom descendeth not from above. Verse 17 says, But the wisdom that is from above, someone say above, is first. Remember, and and I like the the way we we have the word here, um we use the word confusion. There is confusion in every evil work. And in French the word confusion was translated as disorder. And I like that word because God is a God of order. And I want you to, and the reason why I'm bringing this up because I want you to pay attention to the order that we are given. Remember, we can't tame it, but the bridal is being applied right now. But the wisdom that is from above is first. Someone say first. What is it first? Shout it out. Pure. Already that goes against some doctrines that are running around in church. We're all bad, we're all evil, we're all messed up. Get saved. Get wisdom from above. Wisdom from this earth, wisdom from Bible school or from Google. We're all messed up, we're all no good. That's why Jesus came, because there was none righteous. No, not one. But the Bible doesn't end in that verse in Romans chapter 2. The Bible continues. Amen. There's no one non-righteous because they're not searching for truth, they're not searching for God, they're not looking for what we are told to look for. I'm gonna get there. Anytime soon. First, pure, then peaceable. Someone say peaceable. Remember the order. First, it's pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated. Now, this next four-letter word is important. Full. Someone say full, full of mercy and good fruit. Hallelujah. When it's full, there's no room for the devil to come along with the seed. I don't care how small the seed may be, I'm full. I'm filled with the fullness of God. There is no room for whatever you want to inject, however you want to influence, whatever you lay on the table. Devil knows how to up the ante. Amen. In Matthew chapter 4, it started with bread, didn't work. Next thing you know, look at all the kingdoms, it can all be yours. It doesn't matter what the devil laid on the table, Jesus was able to say, devil, it is written. Hallelujah. It is written a second time, it is written a third time. Shall worship the Lord thy God and Him only, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace to them that make peace. Hallelujah. Like I said, this is the this is the bridal. I'm gonna pray in about two minutes. This is the bridal. If you have nothing better to say, glory not. I'm just asking for an extra two minutes. All I need to wrap this up. I don't know what time it is, but praise God. This is the bridle that has been um given us by God, the governor. Amen. For everyone here, you were all here on the French side. Every one of you, you're back. Thank you for coming back. Or thank you for saying. Amen. In French, it was the pilot. Amen. This is the way, walk in it. Okay. The steps of a good man, the steps of a good woman are ordered of the Lord. Okay. It's the right step. A little bit to the left. Okay, there we go. Stay on that center line. Amen. Not to be on the wayside. Praise God. Not to be in. This is who we are. First, pure. Thank God. Then it's peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated. Praise God. Let's stand. That'll remind me that my two minutes are up. Praise God. Hallelujah. Entreated. That's in the last verse, or uh, but the wisdom, well, somebody can look up if if somebody has a um like a King James Bible dictionary or Bible dictionary, you can look up look up the word entreated, but it it's it's how you deal with something. It's the way I would put it. It's something that you want. Amen. Despite whatever the dictionary says, when you read this, it's easy to be entreated. It's something that it's something that you want in your life. This is what I want. Someone say it. Amen. Put your hands up, say this is what I want. Amen. This is this is what I need. Praise God. Allie, give me a sec. I'll turn to uh put your hands up, you can begin to pray. Someone wants a definition. Try to get a couple of words that can help me out. I have here um besought or solicited. Like I said, it's something you want that's easily to be entreated. Um, it may sound like I'm asking you for something, something hard or difficult, but no. If I'm gonna go by and thanks for bringing that up. Earnestly supplicated. This is what my Bible dictionary has to say. Webster's 1828. Um besought or solicited. Urgently, too. Something consenting, something that they're being granted. So, so um, that's good. I mean, good call. Thank God we can understand that in such a way. But that's what I was saying. This is something that you want. Amen. I know so many people don't tell me what to do. Well, I'm not. I read, I didn't tell you we read it. Then I kind of emphasized on it, but hands up, we're gonna pray. Praise his holy name. Hallelujah. If your hands are hands are Up, say, I'm on it. Amen. Solicit God saying, Oh well, you can't tame that little member, but we can bridle it. Make sure your heart is full, mind is full of God's words. And that abundance is going to make a difference in your speech. Hallelujah. Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thank God today for what we have received. We asked for our daily bread, and certainly we received it. We heard it with open ears. We read it with open eyes. We received it with an open heart. Perceived it. Easily to be entreated. It's something it's not just something that we want, it's or desire, it's something that we need active in our life. Praise God. The governing, the direction, which can be and will be and is divine in every in every true sense of the word that we have received today. Lord, I I I pray that this is imparted in to the spirit and to the mind and heart of every single person listening, even the young folks, teenagers. Praise God. In school all these years, now they're working, sending in their offerings, serving God, blessed as obedient servants, profitable to the kingdom, to your kingdom, Father in heaven. Bless them. They have a different battle, they're a different generation that some of us older ones have. In Jesus' name. Pray for those that are coming against the Bible, ravening wolves, they are. But I thank God today, praise God that we have. It's already too late because you've spoken it, you've said it, you've established it in our hearts. It's written upon our fleshly tables, and it's making a difference in our lives. Every day in school, at work, at home, especially, amongst our family members. Father in heaven, we're not giving up. We know time is short. So this matter is urgent. As we take the responsibility to go into this world, thank God for this day which you have given us to make a difference. Because of your grace, because of your mercy, because of your long suffering, somebody can be making a decision right now in Jesus' name to give up the old life, to give up the old way, to fall in love with your word, to fall in love with the truth. Hallelujah. So that our lives can be can be spent, can be used serving you. In Jesus' name, Lord, I pray. Thank God for the blessing that we have of the Bibles being open before our eyes today. In such a way. I know the people there's naysayers and there's government people that don't, not all of them, but some government people don't want this and don't want that. Thank God that we have it. In its fullness, in its entirety, Lord, I pray a protection upon us. This is rooted, this is written on the fleshy tables of our hearts. It's rooted into good ground. I come against any kind of storm, any kind of weapon, any kind of drought. Whatever it is the devil will use to come against us, Lord, I pray protection upon each and every one of us today. And until Jesus comes, we've made up our mind. We've decided there is no going back. And I thank God, praise God, for this living testimony that we can be a living witness, a living sign and a living wonder to our family, to our friends. Not much time, let them realize not much time. Gotta get right with God. We're expecting, but so many folks in this world they are not. Praying for peace once again in our lands, not just on the other side of this country, or other side of this world, rather, but even within our own nation. Even the devil is there to stir up trouble. But I thank God that we are the peacemakers. And where we go, there shall be peace. Righteousness, your righteousness will exalt this nation. Praise God. South of the border as well. Exalt that nation, Lord. Certainly it needs it. Whatever turmoil that we're going through, I thank God we can keep walking anointed through the valley of the shadow of death. We shall fear no evil. In Jesus' name, Lord, I pray. Thank God for the preaching of the Word of God today that we have received. It's doing a work in us, it's doing a good work in us. It's creating, it's forming, shaping who we are in Christ Jesus. Anoint the little ones. Two, three months left of school. Give them the protection that they need in elementary school or even in high school. Praise God. Protect them on the school bus in school tomorrow. Keep us well at work tomorrow. Thank God. Amen. Serving you is a joy, serving you is a delight. In Jesus' name, Lord, I pray these things. Amen and amen. Praise God. Keep your hands up. Another moment or two. Entreat. Thank God for it. Say God. Ah, this is what we read. This is what I need. Praise God. And thank God for that blessing of what we have received today. In Jesus' name. Praise God. Hallelujah. It's a good time to make your confession right and acceptable unto God. This is the time, this is the hour. This is the minute. Time to do it. Praise God. Amen. Every tongue shall confess. We read this in the book of Romans. Make your confession now before it's too late. After you die as judgment. So now is the time. Now is today. If you're making that decision, call upon God. Say, God, here am I. Entreat, say God, amen. First pure, first, amen. Give me that uh that the peace that I need that I can be a peacemaker. Give me what I need from you, from from from that is peaceable, that is gentle, that is of a good work and of a good witness unto you. I don't want what's from down here below. I don't want what's devilish, what's earthly, and what's sensual. I want that wisdom which is from above. Praise God. Ask God for it, and God will deliver. Praise God. Blessed be the name of the Lord. If you're making that decision today, it's the best decision you can make. Don't put it off. Don't put it off. Amen. Some of you have been telling me this for Sunday after Sunday after Sunday. Don't put it off. Call upon the name of the Lord today, and you shall be saved. Make that confession because what you say matters. My name is Lincoln. Thank you so much for listening to That's the Truth. I love you all. Until the next time, praise God. What you say matters.
