We finally hit that and he did about right 3 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:24,960 He man to have your Bibles if you can find it turn to first Chronicles 4 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:31,960 May have to go to the index to get there but we're looking first Chronicles one verse chapter 12 5 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,840 verse 32 6 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:57,840 I get into the dilemma when I get to play I get caught up I just about soon play his preach until the preach hits me then I'm done playing I'm through playing now 7 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:08,840 so good to see you today 8 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:16,840 just from my moving about the room this morning 9 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:28,840 I think if you respond to what you about to hear I think the Lord's going to do something 10 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:50,840 verse 32 chapter 12 first Chronicles and of the children of Iskar which were men that had understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to do 11 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:58,840 the heads of them were 200 and all their brethren were at their command 12 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:18,840 I want to speak to you just for a little while this morning exercising your rights 13 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:30,840 I'm about to exercise my right to get somebody open that door let me sling this toward the parking lot 14 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:38,840 see I'd be one of you I have my struggles to you anybody have struggles 15 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:47,840 there's there's a few things that I have zero tolerance for 16 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:54,840 and I'll grab another for tolerate much exercising your rights 17 00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:02,840 Father we love you Lord I need your help this morning for your goodness and your mercy 18 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:09,840 what a wonderful atmosphere here your presence is with us 19 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:18,840 Father I pray that we have ears to hear what you're speaking to the church this morning Lord I need your help 20 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:27,840 I need your help preach what is expedient to the hearing of the body pleasing to you 21 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,840 edifying to the body may we be built up lifted today in Christ's name 22 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:41,840 the church said a man and a man just a little backstory I know just pulling that verse out doesn't tell you a whole lot 23 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,840 but David's been anointed king 24 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:53,840 mighty men are coming to him you read that 11th and 12th chapter you will see some of the character of the men that are serving 25 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,840 with and under David 26 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:04,840 and in the listing from the tribes of the people are the sons of Iscar 27 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:11,840 who had an understanding of the times and had wisdom in knowing what to do 28 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:17,840 for you and I understanding our rights and troubled times is important 29 00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:23,840 understanding what's available to you as crisis arises in your life 30 00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:29,840 will help you be the overcomer that God has called you to be 31 00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:37,840 how many times have you come into contact with someone running to someone that you know maybe hadn't seen him for a while 32 00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:42,840 and you pose the question hey how you doing how many of you said that this morning 33 00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:51,840 hey how are you doing many times the reply that we get if we were honest with ourselves is really not what we were wanting to know 34 00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:57,840 so what we may ought to do sometimes is find another salutation another greeting 35 00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:05,840 because truth be known you really don't have the time for me to tell you how I'm doing 36 00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:08,840 hello 37 00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:14,840 and we'll throw that out there and then when somebody really wants to tell you how you doing you in a hurry and we brush them off 38 00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:19,840 and we go well man I hate that for you and we gone 39 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:24,840 people begin to say things that aren't going well 40 00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:32,840 they begin to tell you their backs against the wall they're hurting all over the egg well you know I got it and then here it just begins to spill out 41 00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:39,840 man things are just turned negative and am I young and this or that young and that or this or that 42 00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:45,840 and they begin to unload on you and try to really tell you how things are going but deep down we're really not interested 43 00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:50,840 why because we got our own stuff going on 44 00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:59,840 a lot of times someone begins to pour out and you ask that question and they begin to pour out and you're thinking if you'll catch your breath I'll tell you how I'm doing 45 00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:05,840 because many times they'll say oh I'm good I'm good I'm fine man I'm great you know we're lying right behind our face 46 00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:13,840 we got this facade hanging out here and say oh how you doing oh I'm good how you doing haven't seen you in a while oh I'm great 47 00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:17,840 and we're thinking oh hell is blowing up at my place 48 00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:24,840 devil is using my house for a welcome mat and we'll just put that grin on and go right on about our day 49 00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:31,840 but that's not what you have to do you don't have to subject yourself to that you don't have to live under those circumstances 50 00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:34,840 you don't have to feel like you've been thrown around like a dog 51 00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:43,840 an old rag doll somewhere or wore out dish rag you just slung around no that's not who you are that's not what God has redeemed you for 52 00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:48,840 you're not some play toy of the enemy are you with me this morning? 53 00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:54,840 how many of you's ever had a little cat in the house and it caught a little mouse and you've seen it just toy with it and just play with it 54 00:06:54,840 --> 00:07:01,840 the little mouse try to get it I've seen cats do that in barn yards and they'll catch one and they'll just turn it loose and they'll just keep catching it 55 00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:07,840 ring it back like the mouse actually thinks he has an opportunity to get away it ain't gonna happen 56 00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:11,840 no no when the cat gets tired of playing it's over 57 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:19,840 can I tell you that's what the devil tries to do in our lives he tries to mess around and toy and play around with your emotions and your feelings 58 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:25,840 and your family he tries to disrupt he tries to steal he tries to kill he tries to destroy 59 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:33,840 and if it would be his will he'd play with you till he's done with you and he will kill you and leave you laying right where he found you 60 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:40,840 but that's not God's plan for your life and you and I must understand our rights and times of trouble 61 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:46,840 there's something we have to get a grip on and that is you are a child of God we've sung it this morning 62 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:55,840 you're not a play toy of the enemy your emotions is not some place for him to toy around with but you are a blood-bought born again 63 00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:02,840 I'm telling you blood-washed child of God and that gives you some authority that gives you some rights 64 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:12,840 and you and I have to learn to exercise those rights for many believers today many face challenges in life with life through life and of life 65 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:19,840 so many obstacles that they face day in and day out trials tribulations they are going to come into our lives 66 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:27,840 as the old cliche declares it a little rain must fall in every life at some point we know that the Bible tells us that 67 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:35,840 it's going to rain on the just and it's going to rain on the unjust but I'm here to tell you I'm not some lioness going around with a cloud 68 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:42,840 hanging over my head and it rain every day of my life I'm looking for the sun of the joy of the Lord to begin to rain down on me 69 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:51,840 I need a little ray of his glory I need a little ray of his sunshine I need a little ray of peace and I am refusing to walk under the cloud 70 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:58,840 of the downpour of a debit downer and a devil who doesn't want joy to be in my life I'm going to exercise the right I have 71 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:07,840 yes life is difficult yes life presents itself with problems and trouble but it does happen to us all but even though I'm in trouble 72 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:15,840 I am not in trouble alone you are not in trouble alone you have not been forsaken everybody in this world may forsake you 73 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:22,840 but he that is out of this world but yet is present in this world will never leave you and he will never forsake you 74 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:30,840 so take joy in knowing let others turn their back and walk away but Jesus will be walking towards you to let you know 75 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:36,840 you don't have to live a downtrodden life it is he who has come to give you joy and to give you peace 76 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:44,840 let the devil try to steal let the devil try to kill let the devil try to destroy Jesus's declaration is that I have come 77 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:52,840 that you might have life honey and that you might have it more abundantly 78 00:09:52,840 --> 00:10:00,840 I'm ready for some abundant living how about you 79 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:17,840 right according to Webster's dictionary right is something to which one has a just claim the power or privilege 80 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:30,840 to which one is justly entitled you need to get this in now something that one may properly claim as due 81 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:37,840 can you not already hear good preaching coming out of a Daniel Webster dictionary 82 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:49,840 can you not already hear some things you have a just claim to something there is the power or the privilege to which one is justly 83 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:58,840 entitled something that one may properly claim as due well I'm here to tell you I'm entitled to some things as a child of God 84 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:05,840 you're entitled to some things as a child of God there's some things do your life according to the promises of the word 85 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,840 I'm not talking about getting outside the book I'm actually talking about getting in the book and staying inside the book 86 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:19,840 there are some things that rightly belong to you as a child of God 87 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:28,840 understanding basics of rights there's the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 88 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:36,840 which is recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family 89 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:45,840 it's the foundation of freedom justice and peace in the world it establishes that everyone has the right to life 90 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:57,840 are you hearing me liberty and security of person it states that no one shall be held in slavery or servitude 91 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:04,840 no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel inhumane and degrading treatment or punishment 92 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:14,840 everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law that's the right simply of just being a human being 93 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:24,840 that sounds like a pretty good deal and we live under those and we exercise daily under those 94 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:31,840 there's also civil rights there's political rights there's economic rights social and cultural rights there's women's rights 95 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:46,840 there's religious rights there is what is called the Miranda rights maybe some of you have been here have heard them 96 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:57,840 maybe some of you have heard those Miranda rights personally aren't you glad you have them 97 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:08,840 if it didn't work out good for you you're in here today amen 98 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:15,840 I mean it's whole card hard cold facts of reality look around the room we're not all perfect 99 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:22,840 we've not all been perfect but we are who we are today because of the mistakes that we made 100 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:31,840 and the grace of God that has redeemed us from our mistakes and for many of the rest of us 101 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:39,840 had it not been for a four wheel drive truck and an exit up a bank on the side of the highway 102 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:48,840 others of us would have been read our Miranda rights I just barely got away 103 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:57,840 that's the only difference between me and somebody that had theirs read they got caught I didn't 104 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:16,840 I didn't realize that until I was coming over Montaigle Mountain doing 88 in what was a 55 105 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:29,840 didn't know it was 55 the little thing on the dash said police ahead twice I said where can it be 106 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:38,840 sitting going down Montaigle Mountain well he found a spot about halfway down when we got pulled over 107 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:47,840 he come up to me he said sir do you know how fast you're going and I said yeah I was doing this 108 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:59,840 he said no that was after you touch the brakes yes sir it might have been because I didn't look down 109 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:06,840 until I touched him you know I'm saying he said do you realize I could take you to jail I said no sir 110 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:13,840 I did not and we got serious real quick 111 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:21,840 it's a longer story because I didn't have wallet I didn't have license I didn't have proof of insurance 112 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:28,840 and I didn't know that until he asked for it and it dawned on me it was in my truck sitting in the parking lot 113 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:37,840 of the Daisy Church of God where I'd met some other preacher you see we struggled together 114 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,840 he said well that's okay if you'll just write your social security number down right here I'll find out what you got 115 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:53,840 I said yes sir and I don't give my social security number out but I didn't want to hear those Miranda rights either 116 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,840 I may have bought some things I don't realize but that's okay I didn't go to jail 117 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:05,840 there's rights we have rights before you can be interrogated 118 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:12,840 I have to read you these rights you have the right to be silent 119 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:20,840 there's law enforcement in this room and there's you know what the rest of those are if you can't afford an attorney they'll get you one 120 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:27,840 you have rights if you're not informed of those rights 121 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:36,840 whether you were caught red-handed or not if your rights are violated you could be released 122 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:42,840 oh you see what we're about to go here the rights of a child of God 123 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:48,840 Elton Trueblood wrote this he said it used to be that Christianity was a revolutionary faith 124 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:55,840 that turned the world upside down but today Christians sit in Sunday morning church services looking at their watches 125 00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,840 wondering what time dinner will be served or thinking about the kickoff that is up to come 126 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:08,840 and we hope that church will interfere with the things we would rather really be doing 127 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:14,840 those individuals in that situation and condition are not concerned about their right as a child of God 128 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:22,840 but you take someone when crisis comes in when crisis begins to overwhelm when the enemy as the scripture says comes in like a flood 129 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:29,840 and the flood is about to go over their head and the flood is about to rush through the home and the torrent of life is about to carry them away 130 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:38,840 then that person who is here not worrying about lunch or dinner or these other things they are listening for what can I take a hold of 131 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:45,840 what is my right as a child of God in this situation and that person is looking that when the flood begins to come 132 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:52,840 and the waters begin to rise they are looking for the standard that stands against it that thing that is not moved 133 00:17:52,840 --> 00:18:00,840 that thing that is established that the waters and the flood of life have to go around and I'm telling you it is Jesus Christ the righteous 134 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:07,840 who is the standard of our hope and of our life and no matter what torrent no matter what flood begins to come into our life 135 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:14,840 I am a Christian today who is still looking for that invading power of Jesus Christ that would avail itself to my situation 136 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:21,840 and in my current circumstance that I understand the right that I have and the first right that you and I have as a child of God 137 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:33,840 is we have the right to call upon him at any point at any moment and at any time you have the right to call on the Lord 138 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:45,840 how so Jeremiah 33 3 calling to me this is the Lord speaking calling to me and I will answer you 139 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:54,840 he is not just going to answer he said I will show you great and mighty things which you have no clue about 140 00:18:54,840 --> 00:19:03,840 that is the waters parallel paraphrase I will show you great and mighty things that you cannot think of I will show you 141 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:09,840 God said I will show up in your situation and I will reveal myself like you have never seen before 142 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:17,840 I am going to reveal but all you have to do is call upon me oh I am so glad that the Bible gives me an invitation 143 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:25,840 I am so glad that the Father of Glory offers unto me an invitation that I can call when crisis comes 144 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:32,840 when I don't know which way to go when I don't know what to do when I can't figure it out he says call unto me 145 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:39,840 and I will answer you and I am not just going to answer you but I am going to reveal I am going to show myself 146 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:48,840 and great and mighty things I will show you that you have no thought of call on the Lord 147 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:58,840 so many times when we get in crisis we call everybody but the Lord until all human effort is exhausted 148 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:06,840 then we turn to the Lord but I say we need to be like old King Hezekiah when the enemy surrounds the city 149 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:14,840 and sends that letter in well you might as well forfeit you might as well give up you might as well surrender 150 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:22,840 Hezekiah takes the letter and he goes directly to the house of the Lord and not only did he go into the house of the Lord 151 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:28,840 but he opened up the disregard of the enemy and read it to the Lord this is what they are saying 152 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:36,840 he came he took it to the Lord and he prayed my my my what a novel idea for the child of God 153 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:44,840 you can call upon the Lord in your time

your trouble God said call upon me in the day of trouble I might deliver you no that's not what the 185 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:28,840 word of the Lord says call on me in the day of trouble and I will deliver thee and thou shalt glorify me that's the reason I get so bent out 186 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:43,840 of shape he showed up in my day of trouble and he took me out he brought me he delivered

getting into position you pray your way into the reality of the answer and you keep praying 194 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:15,840 until it shows up can I tell you I've got far more grace to get me through than I ever got grace to get me out 195 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:26,840 and it really doesn't matter whether I'm through or out either way it's behind me 196 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:35,840 somebody needs to think about that it doesn't matter if he has that grace to you when your weakest moment like he did old Paul 197 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:42,840 when he's declaring and testifying I prayed three different times and I know he prayed more than three times if he had a problem 198 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:49,840 I was bothering him as bad as this problem seemed to be but I think what Paul is saying he said I believe I prayed through three times 199 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:57,840 I believe I touched heaven and I still didn't get my healing I still didn't get my deliverance I still didn't get the remedy for what I needed 200 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:04,840 and on that third time then I hear this voice from heaven saying Paul Paul my grace is sufficient for you 201 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:14,840 that through your weakness I'm gonna add grace and strength to you I'm gonna get you through you may have to grab a plank and float to shore 202 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:24,840 but you're gonna come through my god you may be like oh Philip he may translate you the next 40 mile it doesn't matter where he picks you up 203 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:33,840 and carries you over or gives you grace to float through just so long as you come out on the other side my god you're coming out child of God 204 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:39,840 you're coming understand your rights when you call upon the Lord exercise 205 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:55,840 9115 the psalm says he called upon me this is the Lord speaking 206 00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:08,840 he called upon me I will answer him I will be with him in trouble I will deliver him and honor him 207 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:17,840 you just gotta call on him you gotta call on him you gotta trust him you gotta have confidence that he is able 208 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:23,840 Romans 10 12 through 14 for there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek for I will answer him 209 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:32,840 there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek for the same Lord over all is rich under all that call upon him 210 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:41,840 aren't you glad that you don't have to be in a certain socioeconomic class to be able to call upon the Lord 211 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:52,840 aren't you glad of that aren't you glad you don't have to be in a certain demographic of racial equity for the ability to call upon the Lord 212 00:30:52,840 --> 00:31:03,840 aren't you glad you don't have to be all the same color race creed amen to call upon the Lord because whoever calls on him shall be saved 213 00:31:03,840 -->

speak to a neighbor down the road to drop you off a sack of groceries on your steps you're going to make it 299 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,840 why because you're one of his and your right is to be fed

provider you belong to him just like we will do any and everything in our power to take care of our children 302 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:52,840 to make sure they are fed to make sure they're clothed you ought to hear this preacher this morning if you're one of his and you're faithfully serving him 303 00:37:52,840 --> 00:38:01,840 he will not forsake you in your dilemma they may want that threatened to put the wheels under your house and pull it down the road like they did ours one time 304 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:10,840 but it didn't go out that way it went out the road under wheels but it wasn't a repo my Lord sent a buyer and it was sold and I got out from under the trouble 305 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:19,840 I'm here to tell you the Lord is going to make a way for you in your economic crisis just cry out call out and trust him 306 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:27,840 you may be scraping the bottom of the barrel but when you go back tomorrow there will be more to scrape in the barrel 307 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:34,840 he didn't say the barrel would be full he just said it never would be empty oh my 308 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:43,840 we're looking for full barrels and we're eating the whole time 309 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:53,840 wondering why God isn't making a way and the whole time he's made your way 310 00:38:53,840 --> 00:39:00,840 that's what I'm talking about either grace go through or power to take you out 311 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:07,840 either way God is faithful if you'll trust him 312 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,840 part of our problem we're ready to bail by the time the barrel gets half empty 313 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:20,840 either he's God or he isn't either his word is true or it isn't what's it going to be 314 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:28,840 but as a child of God if you get in this and the more of your rights that you commit to your heart 315 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:36,840 when you call on him all you got to do is quote it 316 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:42,840 all you got to do is find your promise lay it on an altar somewhere lay it on the foot of your bed on a coffee table 317 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:48,840 on the couch as you're turned around on your knees and you lay it open you spread it out say Lord here's where you said to call 318 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:55,840 and here's your promise for my calling I'm one of yours my sins are under the blood and I'm dependent upon you 319 00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:02,840 and I'm going to stand stand stand no wonder the songwriter said standing on the promises of Christ my Savior 320 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:08,840 my Lord you got to get to the point where the promise is what's your own and understand the right of the promise 321 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:25,840 that avails itself to you through faith I am trying to hurt 322 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:39,840 understanding our rights and the diseases of our body for those to be healed some 103 323 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:55,840 bless the Lord oh my soul and all that's within me bless his holy name bless the Lord oh my soul and forget not all his benefits 324 00:40:55,840 --> 00:41:04,840 who forgives all that iniquities and who healeth all your diseases 325 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:14,840 who redeems your life from destruction and crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies listen to this one who satisfies 326 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:22,840 your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles 327 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:34,840 and exodus 1526 to the children of Israel when he tells them what not to do don't follow in the way the gypsies don't follow after their gods don't do this don't do that don't do that 328 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:40,840 he said because I am the Lord that healeth thee 329 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:49,840 I declare to you today there's more healing in Christ than simply the wounds of our bodies 330 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:54,840 how many of our minds have been wounded by life 331 00:41:54,840 --> 00:42:13,840 live tormented day in and day out in our mind but our bodies physically are perfectly well our emotions are tormented he's the God that heals you 332 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:23,840 first Peter 2 24 who his own self bear our sins in his own body stand with them on clothes on the tree 333 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:33,840 that we being dead to sin should live under righteousness by whose stripes you were healed 334 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:47,840 James 5 13 14 is any afflicted and pray for 14 says he needs to come on you let him call for the elders of the church 335 00:42:47,840 --> 00:43:07,840 and the prayer for 16 confession false one another pray one for another that you may be 336 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:18,840 that you 1414 will take our store for just a moment ago before he feeds that multitude he healed 337 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:26,840 and Jesus went forth and saw a great multitude was moved with compassion toward them 338 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:40,840 and he healed their sick acts 31 the lame man laid at the gate called beautiful side the temple 339 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:51,840 Peter John comes walking at the hour of prayer they see the lame man laying there 340 00:43:51,840 --> 00:44:00,840 and declared him look on us and he looks the scripture says expecting to receive 341 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:06,840 I guarantee you that old boy wouldn't expect him what he was about to receive 342 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:18,840 he was looking for lunch money he was looking for supper money he's looking for money to pay rent car payment gas money 343 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:33,840 that's what he was looking on for but then silver and gold have I not but such as I have give I to the and then here it is 344 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:57,840 in the name of Jesus rise up he's our healer Luke 619 and their countless others and the whole multitude sought to touch him 345 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:13,840 the scripture says for their went virtue out of him that word virtue means power and he healed them all 346 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:29,840 I think before we can exercise our rights we have to understand our need as I read to you this just a touch just a brief touch 347 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:43,840 of the rights that we have is just simply being human beings but you know for never made aware of our rights 348 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:54,840 we don't know what we have the potential to receive works that way with the insurance and so many other things 349 00:45:54,840 --> 00:46:02,840 those underlying small print clauses well this is all printed on the same font same size you don't have to strain to look to find 350 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:15,840 the fine print for what belongs to you in this world yes but not in this book 351 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:22,840 so when you understand how many of you you've went before you you've had that conversation and to find out what you know you have 352 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:43,840 this coverage one know I really did you've got some coverage that you may not be aware of today they're seeing coverage 353 00:46:43,840 --> 00:47:00,840 just this morning walking around count I can remember them all prayer request for people in need sick troubles this problem that trial 354 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:12,840 this need that need and whole time I'm walking around I'm thinking Lord you've lined this up good today I'm thinking I got a word for that today 355 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:30,840 I hope I delivered it to you you've got rights as a child of God so many more you have rights but where we have to fall is with these 356 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:45,840 sons of Issa car we have to understand the times and know what to do you have to understand what's going on in your life and know 357 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:56,840 what to do what do I do first of all you come and you cry out you call out to the Lord if you need healing he's the healer 358 00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:13,840 I just very briefly touch there's so many scripture to tell you your right that's made available where we get caught up as if 359 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:28,840 God didn't do it the way we tell him to do it huh see were saved yet to be saved explain that I have redemption here below but 360 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:37,840 this is not my salvation my salvation is when the Lord appears and he delivers me out of it all but my salvation is also current 361 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:50,840 with me every day because he delivers me through every single day I'm saved yet to be saved the Lord's hand has touched this body 362 00:48:50,840 --> 00:49:09,840 and healed its elements but it become ill again right so I'm healed but there's a healing that is coming because see in our humanity 363 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:22,840 we think death is the end no not for the rights that belong to the child of God it's simply the beginning and so we get 364 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:35,840 conflicted when God doesn't do the way we want to but he does the way he wills sometimes the Lord longs for his saints to be with 365 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:52,840 him rather than me here with us and so he calls them home healed to be healed for one day we shall see him and we shall be 366 00:49:52,840 --> 00:50:06,840 like him we shall see him as he is do you need something from the Lord this morning if you're sick you know somebody that's 367 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:15,840 sick you want to stand in proxy by faith brother Steve Ridge is in the hospital this morning has had two strokes we're going to 368 00:50:15,840 -->
