00:00:13.369 --> 00:00:16.910
Good morning and welcome to Champions in Christ.

We're so glad you joined us. This is the day

00:00:19.789 --> 00:00:22.969

glad in it. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Pray your

day is going well this morning. It is a great

00:00:31.070 --> 00:00:35.409
day because Jesus has risen from the dead and

00:00:35.409 --> 00:00:39.009
he is alive and well today and he loves you he

00:00:39.009 --> 00:00:42.049
loves you very very much and Today we're gonna

00:00:42.049 --> 00:00:47.109
get in the word. We're gonna go into John last

00:00:47.109 --> 00:00:50.590
week we talked about Jesus raised being raised

00:00:50.590 --> 00:00:53.369
from the dead. I mean not Jesus. I'm sorry Lazarus

00:00:53.369 --> 00:00:57.530
being raised from the dead and in John chapter

00:00:57.530 --> 00:01:01.409
11 verse 25. We talked about where Jesus said

00:01:01.409 --> 00:01:04.510
I am the resurrection in the life and he that

00:01:04.510 --> 00:01:06.810
believes in me though we were dead yet shall

00:01:06.810 --> 00:01:11.010
he live and that is true today. It's true every

00:01:11.010 --> 00:01:14.390
day. It will never change. Jesus is the very

00:01:14.390 --> 00:01:18.769
life of God and hallelujah. Thank God the Trinity

00:01:18.769 --> 00:01:21.870
the Father Son and the Holy Ghost and Lord. I

00:01:21.870 --> 00:01:24.209
just thank you right now as we read your word

00:01:24.209 --> 00:01:27.129
that she will speak to. every one of our hearts

00:01:27.129 --> 00:01:31.890
and we thank you for it in Jesus name in John

00:01:31.890 --> 00:01:36.030
chapter 12. It was six days before Passover celebration

00:01:36.030 --> 00:01:39.709
began and Jesus arrived in Bethany the home of

00:01:39.709 --> 00:01:41.709
Lazarus the man who had been raised from the

00:01:41.709 --> 00:01:46.329
dead and a dinner was prepared in Jesus's honor

00:01:46.329 --> 00:01:50.290
Martha served and Lazarus was among those who

00:01:50.290 --> 00:01:52.390
ate with him now Lazarus had just been raised

00:01:52.390 --> 00:01:56.090
from the dead not Not long before and Martha

00:01:56.090 --> 00:01:58.590
was serving, you know I want to stop right here

00:01:58.590 --> 00:02:01.090
and say thank God for all the people that serve

00:02:01.090 --> 00:02:05.250
God By serving food by giving cups of water in

00:02:05.250 --> 00:02:08.629
Jesus name All of that is the love of God working

00:02:08.629 --> 00:02:11.289
through the body of Christ all the people that

00:02:11.289 --> 00:02:14.490
serve in all the various churches around the

00:02:14.490 --> 00:02:17.449
world and give their heart to teaching Sunday

00:02:17.449 --> 00:02:22.090
school or feeding feeding people after service

00:02:22.090 --> 00:02:26.460
or feeding the poor or pouring into all of that

00:02:26.460 --> 00:02:29.039
is serving the Lord when it's and when it's done

00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.500
with the right heart God will bless you back.

00:02:32.419 --> 00:02:34.539
So just be thankful if you see someone today

00:02:34.539 --> 00:02:36.719
that has blessed you in that way, thank them

00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.319
for it because that is that is a big deal. It's

00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.020
a really big deal to God that that everything

00:02:43.020 --> 00:02:46.039
we do we do is unto the Lord with the right heart

00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.860
and he will bless us for it. So Martha's serving

00:02:48.860 --> 00:02:51.259
Lazarus was sitting at the table amongst others.

00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:55.699
There Mary took 12 ounces Mary was Martha and

00:02:55.699 --> 00:02:58.580
Lazarus sister and Mary came in the room and

00:02:58.580 --> 00:03:01.620
she took a 12 ounce jar of expensive perfume

00:03:01.620 --> 00:03:05.900
and Made me I'm sorry made from the essence of

00:03:05.900 --> 00:03:08.439
Nard and she anointed Jesus feet with it wiping

00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:12.560
his feet with her hair and The house was filled

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:16.719
with the fragrance Wow. Well, she took this expensive

00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:21.460
perfume. She worshipped him And in this is another

00:03:21.460 --> 00:03:24.300
way that that you can worship by getting at the

00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:27.319
feet of Jesus and that's humbling ourself getting

00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.719
on our knees laying on our face before God and

00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.680
crying out to him or just loving on him. You

00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:35.840
know, there's many ways to worship God. But in

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.939
this instance, Mary wanted to worship him by

00:03:39.939 --> 00:03:43.240
pouring that expensive oil something that meant

00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:47.919
a lot to her over his feet and washing his feet

00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.240
with her hair. And it says in verse 4, but Judas

00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.759
Iscariot, the disciple who would soon betray

00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.939
him said that perfume was worth a year's wages.

00:03:56.939 --> 00:03:59.280
It should have been sold and the money given

00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:03.460
to the poor. Not that he cared for the poor because

00:04:03.460 --> 00:04:06.439
Judas was a thief and since he was in charge

00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:11.180
of the disciples money often he stole from them.

00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.240
He stole out of the bag. This is a New Living

00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.740
Translation that I'm reading. And Jesus replied

00:04:17.740 --> 00:04:20.459
leave her alone. She did this in preparation

00:04:20.459 --> 00:04:23.339
for my burial and you will always have the poor

00:04:23.339 --> 00:04:25.680
with you, but you will not always have me among

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.379
you. You know, Jesus came and he only lived on

00:04:29.379 --> 00:04:33.759
earth for 33 years and 30 years of that was being

00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.980
raised up and trained in the things of God. And

00:04:36.980 --> 00:04:39.680
then those last three years were years of ministry

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.899
and those ministry because he came on the earth.

00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:48.480
to die to be that sacrificial lamb of God. And

00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.279
so here he is. And he's talking about how Mary

00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.579
came to prepare for his burial. Now, she didn't

00:04:55.579 --> 00:04:58.560
know that she came worshipping him, but it was

00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.459
in preparation for his burial. So it goes on

00:05:01.459 --> 00:05:03.560
to say in verse nine, when all the people heard

00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.500
that Jesus had arrived, they flocked to see him

00:05:06.500 --> 00:05:09.759
and also to see Lazarus, the man Jesus raised

00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.279
from the dead. Just think about that. If that

00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.129
happened in your town. Does it still happen today?

00:05:15.850 --> 00:05:18.769
Absolutely. God has raised people from the dead,

00:05:18.970 --> 00:05:22.990
not just spiritually, but physically and it has

00:05:22.990 --> 00:05:26.470
happened around the world. Smith Wigglesworth,

00:05:26.629 --> 00:05:29.870
who was an old -time Saint of God who's been

00:05:29.870 --> 00:05:32.889
in heaven for a long time. I believe his number

00:05:32.889 --> 00:05:37.410
he raised 11 or 13 from the dead in his life

00:05:37.410 --> 00:05:41.560
in Christ on the earth. Andrew Womack has raised

00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.540
a couple people from the dead. I mean, there

00:05:43.540 --> 00:05:46.379
are people today that have done it and it's through

00:05:46.379 --> 00:05:49.300
the power of God to the glory of God. And we

00:05:49.300 --> 00:05:51.879
just thank God that that resurrection power is

00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.339
still alive and well. And guess what? If you

00:05:55.339 --> 00:05:58.360
believe on him that Jesus died and raised from

00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.019
the dead and you accept his free gift of salvation,

00:06:01.379 --> 00:06:04.519
that same power will come and live on the inside

00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:09.300
of you. Glory to God. Hallelujah. I am so thankful

00:06:09.300 --> 00:06:13.279
for that. Aren't you? And so these so imagine

00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.639
if someone had you had heard that Jesus raised

00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.339
someone from the dead in your town. Wouldn't

00:06:18.339 --> 00:06:20.800
you want to meet them and see them after they

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.360
had died? Wouldn't you want to talk to Jesus

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:28.060
the one who had the power to do that? Well, it

00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:31.300
also says in verse 10 that the leading priest

00:06:31.300 --> 00:06:36.120
decided to kill Lazarus too. For it was because

00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.939
of him that many of the Jews deserted them and

00:06:39.939 --> 00:06:45.459
believed in Jesus they deserted and turned to

00:06:45.459 --> 00:06:48.740
Jesus and believed that the life of Christ and

00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:52.060
So the next day the news went out and Jesus was

00:06:52.060 --> 00:06:55.139
on his way to Jerusalem swept through the city

00:06:55.139 --> 00:06:59.100
a large crowd of Passover visitors took palm

00:06:59.100 --> 00:07:02.779
branches and went down the road to meet him You

00:07:02.779 --> 00:07:05.540
know, they wanted to celebrate Jesus. They had

00:07:05.540 --> 00:07:09.220
heard they had believed they had Accepted what

00:07:09.220 --> 00:07:12.680
he was saying and so they began to shout praise

00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.480
God blessings on the one who comes in the name

00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.279
of the Lord hail to King of Israel Jesus found

00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:22.439
a young donkey and rode in on it fulfilling the

00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.480
prophecy that said don't be afraid People of

00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.680
Jerusalem. Look your king is coming riding on

00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.569
a donkey's colt colt that had been prophesied

00:07:32.569 --> 00:07:35.110
six, seven hundred, eight hundred years prior

00:07:35.110 --> 00:07:38.170
to Christ coming. And so he's fulfilling that

00:07:38.170 --> 00:07:42.550
prophecy and he's triumphantly marching through

00:07:42.550 --> 00:07:46.009
the town as they lay palm branches before him.

00:07:46.829 --> 00:07:49.149
And so no one knew what was coming next. I mean,

00:07:49.230 --> 00:07:52.410
they're celebrating Christ again, another way

00:07:52.410 --> 00:07:55.310
to worship God. Many people will stand and lift

00:07:55.310 --> 00:08:00.449
their hands and worship him. Many will sing praises

00:08:00.449 --> 00:08:04.269
to his name. So many wonderful worship and praise

00:08:04.269 --> 00:08:07.930
songs nowadays. Glory, glory, glory, glory. And

00:08:07.930 --> 00:08:11.329
we're going to turn real quickly to Psalms 112.

00:08:12.529 --> 00:08:17.870
And Psalms 112 talks about blessing God. And

00:08:17.870 --> 00:08:21.490
in Psalms 112, it says, praise the Lord. How

00:08:21.490 --> 00:08:24.589
joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight

00:08:24.589 --> 00:08:28.120
in obeying his commands. Their children will

00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.779
be successful everywhere and an entire generation

00:08:31.779 --> 00:08:35.379
of Godly people will be blessed. You know, as

00:08:35.379 --> 00:08:38.700
we praise the Lord, God gives us promises and

00:08:38.700 --> 00:08:42.559
rewards. He loves people to worship him. He loves

00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:45.320
to spend time with you. When you worship him,

00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.659
you get into that deep place with him where it's

00:08:48.659 --> 00:08:51.120
you and him. You can just lock in, shut your

00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.559
eyes, lift your hands, begin to worship him.

00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:56.279
You don't have to have a song. Many of you have

00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.519
a song in your heart. You can sing to the Lord.

00:08:58.779 --> 00:09:01.519
Many times it's just our words of how much we

00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.120
love him, how much we worship him, how much we

00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:08.120
thank him. It continues to say they themselves

00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:10.799
will be wealthy and their good deeds will last

00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:14.980
forever. That's right. When you sow a deed in

00:09:14.980 --> 00:09:18.559
Christ's name with worship in your heart, when

00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.080
you do something for God, it goes on into heaven,

00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.509
your heavenly account. And but you get rewarded

00:09:25.509 --> 00:09:29.629
here. He talks about right there how how great

00:09:29.629 --> 00:09:32.570
things will happen. You know, you yourselves

00:09:32.570 --> 00:09:36.669
become wealthy light shines in the darkness for

00:09:36.669 --> 00:09:40.049
the godly, you know, God is a lamp into our feet

00:09:40.049 --> 00:09:42.389
and a light into our path. He will lead you and

00:09:42.389 --> 00:09:44.389
guide you just lift your hands unless you're

00:09:44.389 --> 00:09:47.549
driving and praise the Lord and say, Lord, I

00:09:47.549 --> 00:09:49.570
thank you. You're a lamp into my feet. I thank

00:09:49.570 --> 00:09:51.629
you. You're a light into my path. I thank you,

00:09:51.629 --> 00:09:55.039
Lord. that I know the way in which I should go

00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.879
because he guides you. It continues to say they

00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.879
are generous and compassionate and righteous

00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:06.200
good comes to those who lend money generously

00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:10.919
again and conduct business fairly that scripture

00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:13.860
is talking about, you know, as people serve God,

00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:17.220
they're going to lend generously. Because everybody

00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:20.100
that loves and learns about God knows that you

00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:23.059
can't sow a seed into someone's life, whether

00:10:23.059 --> 00:10:27.360
it's food or money or a car or anything. You

00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.360
can't sow that you don't reap a harvest because

00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.820
from now until forever, it's going to be seed

00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:37.080
time and harvest. Hallelujah. And you conduct

00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.799
your business fairly, you know, those with a

00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.360
heart of God are not going to try and cheat people.

00:10:42.620 --> 00:10:44.740
are not going to try and steal from them. They're

00:10:44.740 --> 00:10:48.659
going to conduct business honorably and it says

00:10:48.659 --> 00:10:53.299
such people will not be overcome with evil. Wow.

00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:56.879
Wow. Praise God. Evil cannot overcome light.

00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.480
Darkness cannot overcome light. So if you worship

00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.720
and praise God, you have the light of God living

00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:08.360
in you and God will see you through. It says

00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:13.389
they do not fear for bad news. They are confident

00:11:13.389 --> 00:11:16.509
and trust in the Lord who cares for them. They

00:11:16.509 --> 00:11:19.690
are confident and fearless and can face their

00:11:19.690 --> 00:11:23.830
foes triumphantly why because Jesus defeated

00:11:23.830 --> 00:11:27.590
the devil on the cross and hell and the grave

00:11:27.590 --> 00:11:30.690
glory to God. So we have nothing to fear. God

00:11:30.690 --> 00:11:33.029
has not given us a spirit of fear, but he's given

00:11:33.029 --> 00:11:37.809
us power love and a sound mind. They share freely

00:11:37.809 --> 00:11:40.190
and give to those generously in need. Let's drop

00:11:40.190 --> 00:11:44.120
down. They will have influence and honor. You

00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:47.159
know, sometimes we get persecuted. It's promised

00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:49.960
in the Bible. When you serve God, persecution

00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:54.019
will come. But there are other times God will

00:11:54.019 --> 00:11:58.899
honor you to whom honor is due and God will.

00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:01.799
He says promotion comes from the Lord. That's

00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:04.779
what the word says. So you just trust in him.

00:12:05.019 --> 00:12:07.019
You follow after him. You do what he tells you

00:12:07.019 --> 00:12:09.679
to do and he will make your way straight. And

00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:12.460
even when the persecution comes, he will fill

00:12:12.460 --> 00:12:15.740
you with joy. You will laugh through it. You

00:12:15.740 --> 00:12:17.840
will just like Paul and Silas when they were

00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.159
put in prison and stocks on their feet and they

00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.919
were beaten thrown in there. They began to sing

00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.419
praises to God. They didn't care that they were

00:12:25.419 --> 00:12:27.919
persecuted. They didn't they didn't worry about

00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.990
the pain that they suffered. They sang praises

00:12:30.990 --> 00:12:33.870
and guess what? An angel of God delivered them

00:12:33.870 --> 00:12:37.210
open the prison doors. Glory to God. That's our

00:12:37.210 --> 00:12:40.850
God. That's our glorious God. You know, it goes

00:12:40.850 --> 00:12:44.509
on to say the wicked will see this and be infuriated.

00:12:44.789 --> 00:12:47.210
They will grind their teeth in anger. They will

00:12:47.210 --> 00:12:50.129
slink away and their hopes will be thwarted.

00:12:50.309 --> 00:12:52.549
You know, that's what happened where we were

00:12:52.549 --> 00:12:56.129
reading in John chapter 12. Those who had other

00:12:56.429 --> 00:13:01.289
motives in their heart could not see the glorious

00:13:01.289 --> 00:13:05.549
miracle that God did when he when Jesus raised

00:13:05.549 --> 00:13:08.570
Lazarus from the dead or they couldn't see the

00:13:08.570 --> 00:13:12.529
truth of the worship that Mary did when she poured

00:13:12.529 --> 00:13:17.269
over his feet with that expensive perfume and

00:13:17.269 --> 00:13:20.429
wiped his feet with her hair. Judas mocked her

00:13:20.429 --> 00:13:23.429
why Judas's motives were all wrong. Was he a

00:13:23.429 --> 00:13:26.279
disciple? He had been. Did he do miracles? Yeah,

00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.940
Jesus sent him out with the 12 and and later

00:13:28.940 --> 00:13:32.320
the 70 also, but look at his heart. You know,

00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:34.919
just because you start out with God doesn't mean

00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:37.779
you finished with them. We always want to continue.

00:13:37.779 --> 00:13:41.240
You have to pursue them. You'll never not be

00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.740
blessed when you pursue God. You'll never not

00:13:43.740 --> 00:13:45.860
be loved. He loves you whether you pursue him

00:13:45.860 --> 00:13:48.960
or not. But if you pursue God, if you love him,

00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:51.779
if your heart is hard after him like David, you

00:13:51.779 --> 00:13:54.019
will be blessed. Your children will be blessed.

00:13:54.139 --> 00:13:58.840
The generations behind you will be blessed. And

00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.679
so there's lots of ways to praise the Lord. If

00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:07.600
we go on, if we go on and we look in Psalms 116,

00:14:09.800 --> 00:14:13.059
116 says I love the Lord because he hears my

00:14:13.059 --> 00:14:17.039
voice and my prayers for his mercy Do you know

00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.840
God hears your prayers? He hears every one of

00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:23.379
them every one of them and he answers them It

00:14:23.379 --> 00:14:26.039
says because he bends down to listen. I will

00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.320
pray as long as I have breath Jesus bends down

00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:34.549
to hear you It says death wrapped its ropes around

00:14:34.549 --> 00:14:37.029
me. The tears of the grave overtook me. I saw

00:14:37.029 --> 00:14:40.629
only trouble and sorrow and then I called upon

00:14:40.629 --> 00:14:44.149
the name of the Lord. Please Lord save me how

00:14:44.149 --> 00:14:48.149
kind the Lord is how good he is. So merciful

00:14:48.149 --> 00:14:52.309
this God of ours verse 6 the Lord protects those

00:14:52.309 --> 00:14:55.990
of childlike faith. That's right. He likes us

00:14:55.990 --> 00:14:58.950
to come and just believe it. Just believe it

00:14:58.950 --> 00:15:01.529
when he says, I love you. Just believe it when

00:15:01.529 --> 00:15:05.190
he says, I want to save you. Just accept that

00:15:05.190 --> 00:15:09.789
free gift. He loves it. Simple faith. God is

00:15:09.789 --> 00:15:14.350
simple. He keeps everything simple. And so we

00:15:14.350 --> 00:15:17.769
continue on and it says the Lord protects those

00:15:17.769 --> 00:15:20.490
of childlike faith. I was facing death and he

00:15:20.490 --> 00:15:23.909
saved me. Are you facing death today? He'll be

00:15:23.909 --> 00:15:27.840
your Savior. Are you sick in body today? He's

00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:32.399
your healer. Are you low in finances today? He

00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:36.720
is the victory in your finances. He will bless

00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.840
your socks off. You'll look around and go my

00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.039
my my look what the Lord has done. Hallelujah.

00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:46.820
It says let my soul be at rest again for the

00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:50.500
Lord has been good to me. He has saved me from

00:15:50.500 --> 00:15:53.879
death my eyes from tears my feet from stumbling

00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:59.389
and so I walk. in the Lord's presence. Wow. Wow.

00:15:59.769 --> 00:16:01.789
And how do we get in his presence? The Bible

00:16:01.789 --> 00:16:05.190
says he lives in the praises of his people. So

00:16:05.190 --> 00:16:07.549
just by praising him, his presence will come.

00:16:07.830 --> 00:16:10.970
He can't stay away. He cannot help himself, but

00:16:10.970 --> 00:16:13.649
show up when you start praising and worshipping,

00:16:13.870 --> 00:16:17.370
you will feel the presence of God. But whether

00:16:17.370 --> 00:16:21.389
you feel it or not, he's there because he's omnipresent

00:16:21.389 --> 00:16:26.409
and he loves You he loves you so much and he

00:16:26.409 --> 00:16:29.450
goes on to say here. It says he has saved me

00:16:29.450 --> 00:16:32.990
from death my ears from tears my feet from stumbling.

00:16:33.009 --> 00:16:35.470
And so I walk in the presence of God as I live

00:16:35.470 --> 00:16:38.669
here on earth. I believed you. So I said I'm

00:16:38.669 --> 00:16:41.649
deeply troubled Lord and in my anxiety. I cried

00:16:41.649 --> 00:16:44.690
out to you. These people are liars. What can

00:16:44.690 --> 00:16:48.019
I offer the Lord for all he's done for me? I

00:16:48.019 --> 00:16:51.059
will lift up the cup of salvation and praise

00:16:51.059 --> 00:16:54.419
the Lord's name for saving me. I will keep my

00:16:54.419 --> 00:16:57.340
promises to the Lord and in the presence of all

00:16:57.340 --> 00:17:00.600
his people. Glory to God. Do you know God will

00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.320
save you? You don't have to listen to the words

00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.019
of people talking about you cast that down and

00:17:06.019 --> 00:17:08.680
lift up your voice. God will deliver you. He

00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:11.180
will set those people right. He will make your

00:17:11.180 --> 00:17:15.109
name great. He will make your name great. You

00:17:15.109 --> 00:17:18.750
just look unto him. It says the Lord cares deeply.

00:17:19.750 --> 00:17:22.769
When his loved ones die, even when you die, he

00:17:22.769 --> 00:17:26.109
loves he's present in death and to be absent

00:17:26.109 --> 00:17:28.250
from the body is to be present with the Lord.

00:17:28.250 --> 00:17:30.309
And when we're present with the Lord, it's a

00:17:30.309 --> 00:17:33.190
glorious thing. But we want to be present in

00:17:33.190 --> 00:17:36.109
heaven and we'll talk about that in just a moment.

00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:39.859
And it continues to say Oh Lord, I am your servant.

00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.500
I am your servant born in your house. You have

00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:45.640
freed me from my chains. He will free you from

00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.660
the chains of mockery from the chains of sin

00:17:48.660 --> 00:17:51.960
death hell in the grave. It says I will offer

00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:55.759
to you a sacrifice of Thanksgiving and call upon

00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:59.660
the Lord. I will fulfill my vows to the Lord

00:17:59.660 --> 00:18:02.220
in the presence of his people and in the house

00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:05.099
of the Lord in the heart of Jerusalem. Praise

00:18:05.099 --> 00:18:10.880
the Lord. Again, God loves you. He wants the

00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:14.579
best for you. He wants to be your victory. He

00:18:14.579 --> 00:18:18.680
is our victory. You know, Psalm 117 says, praise

00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.640
the Lord. All you nations, praise him. All you

00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.920
people in the earth, praise him for his unfailing

00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.799
love to us is powerful and the Lord's faithfulness

00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:35.380
endures forever. Praise the Lord. You know, Jesus.

00:18:35.660 --> 00:18:40.079
Is the sweetest name. I know why because he came

00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:43.279
on the earth. He died for you and me. He didn't

00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:45.859
have to he could have wiped this all out and

00:18:45.859 --> 00:18:50.380
started over, but he didn't he wanted to save

00:18:50.380 --> 00:18:55.480
his people. He loves you today. He loves you.

00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.619
And if you need a Savior today, I want you to

00:18:58.619 --> 00:19:01.960
listen to this song. These two songs that are

00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:04.740
coming up. They talk about praise and the Lord

00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:08.519
it talks about that sweet sweet name of Jesus

00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:12.119
Christ who died for you and rose from the grave

00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:15.819
and is victorious and is waiting on your behalf.

00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:21.920
He's waiting for you. He's waiting for you. So

00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:23.700
we're going to break away and I'll come right

00:19:23.700 --> 00:19:26.099
back at you at the end of these couple of songs.

00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:39.259
Met a good, good God I remember when my heart

00:19:39.259 --> 00:19:45.480
was broken But now it's not I've tasted and I've

00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:49.700
seen You've been so good to me From the moment

00:19:49.700 --> 00:19:53.420
that you changed my life, God You never stopped

00:19:53.420 --> 00:20:25.670
I'm gonna sing Come try to get me gonna praise

00:20:25.670 --> 00:20:29.890
the Lord From the moment when the Sun starts

00:20:29.890 --> 00:20:34.309
rising till the Sun goes down I'm surrounded

00:20:34.309 --> 00:22:59.839
by Got filled with the spirit And now I'm satisfied

00:27:10.900 --> 00:27:15.160
Hallelujah. He is the sweetest name I know. And

00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:17.180
if you don't know him today, we want to give

00:27:17.180 --> 00:27:20.240
you opportunity right now. You know, the Bible

00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:24.059
says that he that believes on Jesus Christ shall

00:27:24.059 --> 00:27:27.339
be saved. The Bible says for God so loved the

00:27:27.339 --> 00:27:30.099
world that he gave his only begotten son that

00:27:30.099 --> 00:27:33.079
whosoever calls upon his name shall have eternal

00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:36.400
life. You know, if you believe in your heart

00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:39.940
that Jesus died from the grit died and rose from

00:27:39.940 --> 00:27:43.059
the grave, you can be born again. Just pray this

00:27:43.059 --> 00:27:46.490
prayer with me. Dear Jesus I come before you

00:27:46.490 --> 00:27:49.670
and I ask you to forgive me to wash me of my

00:27:49.670 --> 00:27:54.369
sin I receive your salvation your free gift through

00:27:54.369 --> 00:27:57.569
Jesus Christ I thank you Lord and accept that

00:27:57.569 --> 00:28:01.009
you died and rose again on my behalf and I thank

00:28:01.009 --> 00:28:04.130
you father I ask you to fill me with your Holy

00:28:04.130 --> 00:28:07.910
Spirit and I thank you that I am a new creature

00:28:07.910 --> 00:28:12.950
in Christ today in Jesus name Amen. Hallelujah.

00:28:13.150 --> 00:28:16.170
If you prayed that prayer today, you've been

00:28:16.170 --> 00:28:18.970
born again. If you prayed that prayer and you

00:28:18.970 --> 00:28:21.089
haven't prayed it in a long time, you've just

00:28:21.089 --> 00:28:23.890
been brought back to the restoration with God.
