Sermon Notes

If you want the blood of Jesus applied to you, get into the waters of baptism. When you mix it with faith, God turns the water into the blood of Jesus, flowing with forgiveness and mercy to deliver you from the power of the past.

 

Key Scriptures:

Exodus 3:18; Exodus 4:9; Exodus 7:19-21; Acts 2:38-29; Matthew 28:19-20; John 2:9; Leviticus 14:4-7; II Kings 3:16-22; John 19:33-34

 

Key Points:

  1. Get in the water. The water in the baptismal tank is just water, but when you mix your faith with the waters of baptism, God turns it into the blood of Jesus, which washes you and forgives you of all your sins.
  2. Mix water with blood. There are only 5 liters of blood in a human being; that’s not enough to cover everyone who receives salvation. But when you mix it with water, God turns water into wine, and you come up resurrected and washed by the blood of Jesus.
  3. You can be free. When you mix the blood of Jesus with the water of baptism, you can expect great victories! The blood and water will cleanse you and set you free from all your sins.

 

Final Thoughts:

Blood and water are waiting for you. God can untie what has bound you and set you free through baptism.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello. I'm Jensen Franklin, and I'm so glad you're watching
Real America's Voice, and I want to encourage you today
to know that Normally, I know you're used to seeing
the news being broadcast twenty four hours a day all
over the world, but the founder of this network wanted
to take some time on this Sunday and bring some

(00:24):
good news to all the other news. What you do
with the next few moments can affect the years ahead
of your life. Selena, in listen to this message. I
believe it's going to speak to you, and you're going
to encounter a God who loves you and cares about
you this very moment.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Ba ba.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Me, keep still kept.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Halleluja. Do you love him today? How many of you
are in love with Jesus this morning?

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Lord?

Speaker 1 (04:45):
I love you, I worship you, I praise your mighty name.
Today I want you to open your Bibles with me.
I want to read in Exodus chapter three. They will
heed your voice, and you shall come, and the elders
of Israel, the king of Egypt, and they shall say,

(05:05):
the Lord, God of the Hebrews has met us. Now
please let us go three journeys. They will notice God's
telling him, they will heed your voice. And now in
Exodus chapter four, go to Exodus four, and I want
to read the next verse, thank you. And it should
come to pass that if they will not believe, also
these two signs, and if after these two signs, God

(05:27):
tells Moses because Moses had a faith problem. Moses was
scared of Pharaoh, and he was afraid that he would
not listen to what he told him. When he walked
up with a stick and a good beard and sandals
and said, let my people go. And he said, but
God had already given him a promise. I had him

(05:47):
throw that God had already said, they'll hearken. Do your voice.
You got to take God at his promise. God, if
God tells you something, I don't care how long it takes.
I don't care how long is what would've been through
to get there. Don't give up on what God told you.
He told you they'll hearken. They'll hearken. But he didn't
believe it. He had a faith problem. And I'm glad

(06:08):
God didn't give it give up on us when we
start doubting him. So and so he says this, He says,
I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you three signs
and I'll just quickly tell you what to worry. He said,
what's that in your hand? He said, it's a stick,
and he threw it down, and this stick became a serpent.
He picked it up by the tail, and it was
a poisonous serpent. How you know that because the Bible
said he ran and fled, and he picked it up

(06:30):
by the tail because God told him to. And it
turned back into a stick. And he said, this is
something I want you to do. I'm giving you authority.
That represents authority. I'm giving you authority. And if you
get there, and Fay wrote it, and believe you, throw
that down. And the magicians did the same thing, only
one problem. That snake swallowed all the magician snakes. And

(06:51):
he picked it back up and it became a rod
or a staff. And then he told him to take
your hand, and he took his hand. He said, put
it in your garment, and he put in his guard,
pulled it out and it was totally filled with leprosy.
It was withered a leopard. He put it back in
and pulled it out. It was totally healed. He said,
in other words, I want you to tell him that
I'm a healer, I'm a cleanser of leoprosy, I'm a

(07:14):
miracle working God. I want us to boldly declare this
morning there God is still a miracle working God. I'm
tired of people not don't don't ever settle for not
believing that God can do the same kind of miracles
today that he's done in the past. And then and
then then, this is the one I missed. This is

(07:35):
the one I've never pre this is the one I have.
How did I miss this? And he said, I'll give
you one more trick if that doesn't work. That's what
I said, you know. He said, take water of the
river that's the Nile River, and pour it upon dry land,

(07:55):
and the water which you take out of the river
shall become blood on the dry I'm going to turn
water into blood.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
I'm going to do it, and it'll be a sign
to Moses.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
I have the power to take water and turn it
into blood.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
So what is amazing about this to me.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Is water would be turned into blood as the final sign.
And then you remember it was Moses' first plague was
to turn every river. And it says this in the
book of Exodus, every river, every pond, every creek, every

(08:43):
body of water. Everybody say, all the water. It even
said if you had a picture, what wooden picture, that
that water would be turned into blood in the wooden picture.
If you had some ice water or something that you
were drinking in that moment, anywhere there was water, this
is a supernatural miracle. It would be transformed when it

(09:07):
was because if you have faith in me to do
it and pour it out, I'll do it and I'll
transform it. You mix it with faith and the water
becomes blood. So the water would be turned into blood
would be the first miracle. And when you understand that

(09:29):
the streams were filled and all the water wherein there
was water that was turned into blood. If you want
the blood of Jesus Christ applied to you, I'm gonna
preach it like I want to get into water. Because
this is a type of water baptism. All the water

(09:51):
wherever it is, was turned into blood. If you won't
forgiveness of sin, confess your sins. The moment you confess
your sins and say, Lord cleanse me in the blood
he forgives you, and your name's written in the Book
of Life.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
But if you want to wash away the sins.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
If you want to wash away, he turns the water
into blood, symbolically, get in the water. If you want mercy,
get in the water. If you want the past to
be over, the water mixed and baptized in Jesus' name.
Acts two thirty eight. Repent, every one of you. Repent

(10:33):
and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for
the remission of sins. And you shall receive the Holy Ghost.
For this promise is under you, and to your children
them that are far off, as many as the Lord
our God shall call. And then in Matthew twenty eight
it says, in Matthew chapter twenty eight, the great commission,
go into all the nations, baptizing them in the name.

(10:56):
Why why, I'm gonna tell you why. In a minute,
you're gonna get this, baptizing them in the name of
the Father of the Son, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost,
teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I've commanded you.
And low.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
This is the last thing Jesus said.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
And he goes up and lo, I'm with you always
even until the end of the world, notices Moses. First
plague was turning water. The first plague that he pronounced
was water turning into blood. Jesus shows up in the flesh.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
He was, he he came, and.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
The scripture said that the first miracle that he performed
was the turning of water into wine, and wine represents
his blood. Wine in the Bible is a type this wine.
Jesus said in the Last Supper. This fruit of the
vine represents my blood which is shed for you.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
Isn't it something?

Speaker 1 (11:47):
The first plague that Moses brought against Egypt was turning
water into blood. And then Jesus his first miracle, his
first sermon, his first big deal. Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin,

(12:09):
and I want to welcome you to Real America's Voice.
There's something that's going to happen. I believe as you
watch this program, lean in, listen, and let's see what
God can do in your life. First miracle, his first sermon,
his first big deal, was to turn water into wine,

(12:31):
or water into the type of blood. God is teaching
us that the waters of baptism deliver.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Us and cleanse us and wash us and.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Free us from the power of the past. You've been
washed in the blood, and once you've been washed in
the blood.

Speaker 4 (12:52):
You need to just add water and get in the
water and.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
He turns the You take literally a cleansing that takes place.
Let me give you another quick example of what I'm
talking about. In Leviticus chapter fourteen, there's another connection to
water and the blood. The story is told of when
a person had leprosy and they were healed of leprosy

(13:18):
or miracle, they seemed to be getting better. What was
to take place was they were they were to go
to the priest and the priest would take an earthen vessel,
that's just a vessel made of something, pottery of whatever,
and they were.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
To take two birds.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
And they were to take one of the birds, the
first one, and sacrifice it and cut it and let
the blood of that bird drain into that cut. Now,
I want to ask you a question. How much blood
does a little bird have? I mean, it's not enough
to deal in. And that's why this is important point

(13:56):
I'm making. This is what I saw and I want
you to get it. There was not enough blood from
one little bird. And then they were to take the
second bird. Look at this beautiful type. They were to
take quote cedar wood type of the cross and they
were to take scarlet threads type of the cross, tie
the wings of the second bird down on cedar wood

(14:19):
like a cross, a bird on a cross, and they
were to deal that bird in that earthen vessel that
had the blood of the innocent animal that had been shed.
But they knew it wasn't enough blood, so they said,
but mix. The High priest was to mix water with blood.

(14:41):
And if you mix the blood with water, the blood
is enough. There's enough blood, and in the faith of
the blood, it transforms the water into blood.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
Now this is so important because one of the.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Commentaries said there was no way that they could have
gotten enough blood without the water.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
All right, now, let me throw this at you.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
I'm not making a doctrine out of this, but it's
worth thinking about. I think at the very least, we
don't emphasize enough water baptism.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
So here's what I want you to understand.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
When I think about Jesus coming in his humanity, and
he only had he was only one man, he only
had a certain amount of blood, How's he going to
wash the whole world? How's he going to cleanse the
lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world.
You got to have blood. Without the shed of the blood,
there's no remission of sin. Well, the human body only

(15:44):
has five liders of blood, approximately one zero point three
gallons of blood at the most, and it's estimated that
there are literally someone did a study twenty eight thousand,
three hundred and forty drops of blood in every human deed.
Twenty eight thousand, three hundred and forty. So that means
there's enough blood for twenty eight thousand, three hundred and

(16:07):
forty families.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
If that's if the blood of Jesus.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
If we don't, if we don't figure out something else,
it's not enough blood. But when you take the blood
of Jesus by faith and apply it to your heart,
and you confess him as your savior, and you get
in the water and the preacher baptizes you, here's.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
The magic mixer.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
He takes the blood and the water and the name
of Jesus, and when you go down, he turns water
into wine and you're washed completely, and when you come
up you are resurrected in new life. I thought you'd

(16:56):
get more excited about that. This water over here, it
just came from the Gainesville Water Department. This is nothing
that's warm too. It's nothing I might get in there
that feels good.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
But you know it's just water.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
But when you mix it with faith and you walk
up here and you say, I'm an overcomer by the
blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony,
and you don't just get up here to get wet.
You get up here because you believe that Jesus, if
it was the last thing on his mind when he
left this world, go preach the gospel and make sure

(17:35):
you baptize them. Why, because how much time have a
got two minutes? I just want to say, if you're
online wherever you are, and you want to be baptized,
Pastor James, our online pastor, we need to figure out
how a way to do this. Because you can get
baptized in your jacuzzie. You can get baptized in your
swimming pool. You can get baptized in your pond. You

(17:55):
can get baptized in your baptub you can get baptized
in the creek, can get baptized in the river, you
can get baptized in lately near you can get baptized
into ocean. I just want to say, there's enough blood,
am I gonna do this.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
There's enough blood for Spartan Bird.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
There's enough blood because we got a tank over there,
and if you get in that water, it turns into blood.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
Halleluj y'all.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
There's enough blood for Alfareta, Mitttown, Brazleton, Gwinette, Orange County Metro.
The blood is coming into the prisons, Hey State, Whitworth,
Hall County, Phillips State Prison, hal County Jail.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
I want to.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Preach like I want to preach. I took the time
to write it down. I just want to say, in
the name of Jesus, you know, I just I don't
know how we're gonna do this, but I'd like to
have a mass online baptism, and I want to do
it like this in the mighty name of Jesus. The
blood of Jesus is washing away sins of thousands and

(18:56):
millions of people who get in baptized. And I'm just
gonna do it in America, but in Alabama, in Arizona,
in Arkansas, and in Alaska, in Colorado, in California, in Connecticut,
in Delaware, in Florida, in Georgia, and in Hawaii. The blood,
the blood, the blood in Idaho, in Illinois, and Indiana,

(19:16):
and Iowa and Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, and if you know
somebody won these states, plead the blood. Come on, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina,

(19:40):

South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia,
and last lee.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Wooman Maye blood.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
What of Jesus Christ flew like a river Hallelujah all
across the land and around the world. All right, y'all,

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Wonderful have you given your heart to the Lord recently,
or is this what's going on? Well, I knew I
loved him ever since I was a little girl, but
I rededicated my life after I come out of addiction.
That and you know what they would do after they
dipped the bird in Ooh, I can't believe I forgot.

(21:08):
This is the Bible said. They would take them to
an open field. They would take that bird, that dirty
bird that had been dipped in the blood, in the water,
and they would untie the streams that had it bound,
and they would set it free, and it would become
a free bird. She said, I'm fixing to become a

(21:34):
free bird. So when you come up out of this
watery grave and the blood, the water that's been turned
to the blood of Jesus, and it washes you and
your family, and you come up your free bird, you
can soar, You can fly, no more bondage.

How long have you been coming to the church.

Speaker 8 (26:01):
I think since I was about four years old. And
I'm just I've been so lukewarm for so long. And
about a month ago, it was about say, three am,
I had a dream about the rapture.

Speaker 7 (26:16):
Scared the heck out of me.

Speaker 8 (26:20):
You did good on that, And I woke up and
I sent Pastor Tucker a message and I.

Speaker 7 (26:27):
Just texted him. I got her to talk to you.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Man.

Speaker 7 (26:29):
I got to get some stuff off my chest.

Speaker 8 (26:31):
And I think it was about maybe two weeks ago
or three weeks ago, and at youth, I just got
all that off my chests with him, sat down and prayed,
and then I prayed with Pastor Jacob, and they really helped.

Speaker 7 (26:45):
Me out with a lot of stuff. I love y'all.

Speaker 9 (26:52):
You.

Speaker 7 (26:53):
You've helped me out so much. You helped me get
back on a straight path.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
This is what it's all about.

agree God. If God can't get you while you're awake,
he'll he doesn't play fair, he'll come after bring you
a nightmare. You ready, sir, let's baptize him. We baptize you.

Speaker 10 (27:45):
I got baptized up and I'm baptized. I got saved
at twelve and I just wanted to wait till I
was a little older, to just do this, to make
sure I understood the importanceness of it. And I know
the Bible talks about baptism, and I just want to
follow in Jesus example and do this to so.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Great Have you recently made a commitment to the Lord
or is it just I.

Speaker 10 (28:07):

of want to like refresh it, just because being a
teen ager there's a lot.

coming here.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
And why are you doing this today?

Speaker 11 (29:00):
I grew up in a family where it's not really
accepted to be a Christian. So I've been a Christian,
but it's been very personal to me, and so I
just wanted to tell God that I'm not ashamed and
get up here. And you know this is KRN.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
You're redeeming your family name.

Speaker 1 (29:21):

proud Albie, my goodness, in this a blessing. I baptize
you in the name of the Father, the Son, Jesus Christ,

Speaker 5 (30:00):
Family?

Speaker 3 (30:00):
And friends?

Speaker 12 (30:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Good? How long you been coming to Free Chapel?

Speaker 13 (30:04):
My mom started bringing me and my siblings when we
were kids, so it's been a while.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
And why today, why are you doing this?

Speaker 13 (30:11):
So growing up, I you know, I had a relationship
with the Lord, was coming to church but for a while.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
I had straight away really far.

Speaker 13 (30:23):
And I it was just so far, and I heard
a friend describe it as having like a god size
hole in your heart, and that's what it felt like.
I just knew something was missing. And it was actually
last year at the Easter production. I wasn't coming to
church much at the time, but I just knew. I
knew I had to be here, and I did. I came,
I showed up, blade sat in the very back. But

(30:47):
I remember as I was watching, I just felt so
just heartbroken with life. I had chosen after everything Jesus
had done for me, and so I knew after that,
I just wanted to live for him.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Ever since.

Speaker 5 (31:02):
He has given me love and a peace.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
That makes no sense. You're doing good, Yes, Raise God.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
What a miracle that is so rewarding to hear that
that's particularly tied to the Easter production. That was worth
the whole production. This right here was worth the whole production.
I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son,
Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord, Thank
you Lord, Thank you Lord, thank you Lord, thank you,

(31:37):
thank you.

Speaker 14 (31:37):
Jesus.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Good morning, good morning. How old are you I'm nineteen
years old. Nineteen years old? And how long you been
coming to the church?

Speaker 15 (31:47):
About two years now?

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Great?

Speaker 4 (31:50):
Have you made a commitment to the Lord here?

Speaker 15 (31:52):
Yes, Sir, I made a commitment in I think the
September of twenty twenty three at Free Chapel.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
Camp Camp, the youth camp.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
That's and so you man, that changed your life, didn't
it did?

Speaker 7 (32:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (32:04):
So I came from a Hindu family. All of my
immediate distant family are all Hindu. And about exactly two
years ago today, I had a friend invite me to
Forward Conference twenty twenty three, and that just sparked a
fire inside me that I really couldn't explain.

Speaker 7 (32:21):
I was trying to.

Speaker 15 (32:22):
Find it for a really long time. And then I
had a dream where I was sitting on the floor
fallowing my eyes out. Every one of my friends and
family was just walking past me, and then one person
stopped held me until I stopped crying, told me it
would all be okay. And I looked up and that
person was Jesus.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
So, and are you excited about Forward this week? It's here.

Speaker 15 (32:49):
I wish I could come, but unfortunately I'm going to
Athens and taking summer courses.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
So I know the Lord will be where you are.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son,
Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord, Thank
you Lord, Thank you Lord. What it's all about, That's
what it's all about. Good morning. How are you all right?
I reckon good.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
You don't need a microphone?

Speaker 11 (33:17):
Yeah, are you?

Speaker 4 (33:18):
I've been the right line and young folks, that's.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Right, that's right. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
If you go down, you're coming up like a new man,
just brand new.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yes, sir, what's your name? What do you what?

Speaker 12 (33:31):
My name is Raven Mendel, currently with the Jericho House.

Speaker 4 (33:34):
Oh great, we love Jericho House.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Powerful, powerful, and and so how long have you been there?

Speaker 12 (33:42):
I'm going in three and a half months?

Speaker 1 (33:46):
And uh what what what brought you there? And why
are you why are you hearing this tank today?

Speaker 12 (33:54):
Well, uh, God took my family and my ends up
there with him quite a while back, and I just
felt alone. So I just took off running, running, hog wild,
and I got tired of running. He was standing waiting
on me, and uh, I felt like I didn't have nobody.

(34:17):
And he said, look there, look what you got. He said,
you got brothers and sisters, that word. He said, you
got a family tradition right there.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
And uh.

Speaker 12 (34:31):
And I just want to let you know that I
helped build your church. Here you have, are you construction
that I did? The cabotry and the food cordea?

Speaker 1 (34:43):
What about that? What about that? I love that? And
uh and and so here you here, you are in.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
The tank now, Yes, I like praise the Lord. Anything
else you want to say, You've.

Speaker 12 (35:01):
Said my favorite proverb one time, Proverbs seventeen seventeen. For
a friend, Come on, I'm a ner respect for a
friend loves at all times. Brother brothers born in adversity. Yes,
and I love that. Thank you, Praise God.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
Isn't that a great verse?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
A friend is born for adversity, and a friend loves
at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. Yes.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
May you have many brothers and many friends.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
In the mighty name of Jesus, I baptize you in
the name of the Father, the Son, Jesus Christ, the
Holy Spirit. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
I bless you pretty neat good morning.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
How are you good? What's your name?

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Avelin, Miguel and Eveleen?

Speaker 1 (35:50):
How are you? How are you connected to free chapel.
Does somebody invite you? Did you see it on? What
made you come?

Speaker 10 (35:57):
So?

Speaker 9 (35:57):
I've been here for twenty two years.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin, and I want to welcome you
to Real America's voice. Maybe you've been going through some
things and you've had moments that have discouraged you, or
maybe you just feel like you've messed up and you
can't recover. This message is for you. I believe it's
going to speak to you.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
This very moment made you come.

Speaker 9 (36:33):
So I've been here for twenty two years. Good, very grateful.
I have been baptized. I got saved when I was
seventeen in Trinidad and Tobago and I've been baptized right
after that. But in life, you know, you get saved
if you hear about Jesus and then the next thing

(36:54):
is like, okay, get baptized.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
And you do it.

Speaker 9 (36:57):
But it makes so much difference after the years following
the Lord understanding what it really means. Yes, So my
son Robert Hoo's behind me. He's goetting baptized and he
was like, mom, I want to do it. I'm a
little bit nervous, and I say, you know what, But
I'll do it with you because I feel like this time,

(37:19):
the first time is just doing it because you were
told that's thirty years ago.

Speaker 7 (37:25):
Now I'm doing it because I know what it is.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
And it makes a difference.

Speaker 9 (37:29):
When you know something, you can tell me about God.
But now that I know him, you can't take that away.

Speaker 7 (37:38):
It sounds so grateful.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
I'm so grateful for you, and that you're right. This
is a blessing.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
This is as good as it gets. You have no
greater joy, the Bible said than to see your children
walk in truth. It's beautiful thing.

Speaker 9 (37:51):
Yes that I was reading something and it said this.
It says the character of a mother is the compass
of her children. And I said, God, you never understand
your steps as a parent, what it means for your children. Yes,

(38:17):
And I see this little boy, he's thirteen, but what
he knows of God and how he serves him. And
I said, Lord, the story of Abigail and Daniel so
beautiful because she did something so important, preparing the way

(38:39):
for David not to commit that terrible sin of killing
innocent people. And he accepted, and he said, if you
had not come quickly, And the Lord allowed me to
start seeing how much she prepared, this humble spirit, and
he was like live with a spirit of preparedness.

Speaker 8 (39:03):
Amen.

Speaker 9 (39:05):
And I read Daniel, and I never knew Daniel was
her son. And when I say I made a connection,
I think it's in Chronicles where it spoke about David's
descendants and it says that talks about David wives and
the six sons he had, and then it says Abigail
the mother of Daniel, And I said, go way back

(39:30):
her character produce such a son.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Yeah, and your example, and as you're leading the kids
who were following that direction, I baptize you in the
name of the Father, the Son Jesus Christ and the
Holy Spirit. Bless her Lord in Jesus' mighty name. Amen, Hey,
budd Okay, great? What's your name?

Speaker 13 (39:56):
Son?

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Robert? And Gal? Great? And that's your mother. You're proud
of her, aren't Yes, sir? And you love the Lord today?
Is this why you were doing this? Yes, sir, I
heard that you could lead us in the Lord's prayer?
Would you like for everybody? Would you mind leading the
whole congregation in the Lord's prayer right now before I
baptize you. Let's do it. Everybody say it together.

Speaker 14 (40:20):
Our Father who aren't having him. I'll be thy name,
that kingdom come, that will be done on earth as
it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass
against us. Lead us not in temptation, but deliver us
from evil and n this Kingdom, powering the glory forever

(40:40):
and ever.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
Amen, Excellent, excellent. I baptize you in the name of
the Father, the Son, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit. Praise God, hallyluja,
Praise the Lord.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
Good morning, good morning. Why are you doing this?

Speaker 5 (40:59):
Because I love the Lord.

Speaker 16 (41:01):
I walked away from him for a little bit because
I was hurt by a church in my early twenties.
I had a mother that prayed for me, and I
asked God October of twenty three, right before the Revival,
to please give me a hunger to.

Speaker 5 (41:17):
Want to want him again. I wanted my first love back,
and he did well.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
So you got touched in the revival a couple of
years ago, about a year name. Yes, Praise God. That's wonderful.
Had you never been to the church until then, I've.

Speaker 7 (41:32):
Been watching you since the early nineties, but no.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
Yeah. Well, we're glad you're here. Thank you, and welcome
to the family of God, to free chapel, to a
great future. I baptized you in the name of the Father,
the Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Praise the Lord,
Praise the Little, Praise the Little, Praise the Lord. Good morning, sir, sir.

(41:58):
How are you?

Speaker 4 (42:00):
Irvous?

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Wreck, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Nobody here but
me and you. So how long have you been at
the church? I've been coming here on and off for
about four years. Somebody invite you. Yes, my lovely mother
is in the crowd right now, and she invited you
to come. Yes, yes, sir. And what happened? I've been

(42:20):
running too long.

Speaker 17 (42:21):
I've been running for Godlin and my mother's been at
my side, praying for me the whole time, through addiction
and getting in trouble and and uh, it's like Jonah,
I feel like I got swallowed up by the world.
I wanted to try everything and just wanted to get
into trouble. And I feel like it's time to come home.

Speaker 8 (42:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
And he's been calling me. He's been struggling stuff.

Speaker 14 (42:49):
You know.

Speaker 17 (42:50):
This kept me safe and He's kept me safe this
this whole time, when so many times I could have
I could have could have died. And and about sixty
days ago I really had a health scare where I
thought I thought I was going And uh, you know
when you feel that, you know it's like, okay, you
got to get right with God. And so always like

(43:12):
to stop, stop, you know, feeling around, get to it.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
And so here you are. Here I am, and I'm
going to use the name of Jesus, and He's going
to turn water into wine and wash and cleanse a
multitude of sins. And he said, I even I am
he that bloodeth out your transgressions, to remember them no more.
That's a Bible verse in the Book of Isaiah. God says,

(43:38):
I will not remember your sins again. I baptize you
in the name of the Father of the Son, Jesus
Christ and the Holy Spirit. Bless him, Lord, Praise God, Amen, Amen, Yes,
the Lord h good morning morning. What's your name?

Speaker 5 (44:00):
I'm Sarah, Sarah?

Speaker 4 (44:02):
And who are all the people?

Speaker 5 (44:05):
So those are my good landing girls.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
I landing. Yes, we love good landing.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
God bless you. So how long have you been there?

Speaker 18 (44:14):
I have been an employee there for over a year
now and I'm about two years sober now, two years amazing.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
What was life like?

Speaker 4 (44:29):
It gets a grip on people, doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
You didn't see it like that when you and before
you know it, it had you.

Speaker 5 (44:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (44:37):
So I was an atheist my whole life before I
came to good Landing. That's my first experience with God
and deep in addiction. You know, I was homeless for
a long time. I was just completely lost and coming
here and coming to service here, sitting in the back,
putting my hands in there and worship for the first time,

(44:58):
I just felt that sense of relief, you know, and
I felt home and there was gratitude and love.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Hey, so never your whole life, never taken the church
or anything to speak of.

Speaker 18 (45:10):
Yeah, No, an atheist pretty much my whole life. Yeah,
anybody would talk about God and I would just completely
turn away and argue with them and try to give
them my opinion. I mean, my husband has always been
a believer, and he just accepted the fact that I
was an atheist. But little did I know it. He
would pray for me at night when I was sleeping.
He had put his hand on it.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
You see here this morning. Where's your husband at way Vettus? Awesome? Awesome, sir,
What a what a powerful thing. So all those years
of alcoholism, I'm just curious, how do you stop?

Speaker 6 (45:48):
What do you?

Speaker 1 (45:49):
I mean? I know you came to Good Landings and
what but what it's every day You've done it every day.
It's a pattern that's established. You can't break out of
the cycle. What do you do?

Speaker 5 (46:02):
You just have to get sick and tired.

Speaker 18 (46:04):
You know, no one could bring me out of addiction
and my loved ones, my family, my kids, no one
had had to come in with it myself, you know.
And it was God and that was it was a
push from God. I didn't know it at the time
because like I said, I didn't believe. But once I
got into Good Landing, I knew that God had been
leading me and pushing me, you know, and it just

(46:26):
it took what it had to take.

Speaker 5 (46:27):
And I'm grateful for where I'm at right now.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
And so like those first few months and stuff, did
you go through withdrawals and all that kind of stuff?

Speaker 5 (46:37):
Yeah, oh horrible with your all was shaking, sweating.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
You know, you could have left, you could just those
kinds of programs you can just walk out. Yeah, yeah,
why didn't Why didn't you?

Speaker 18 (46:48):
I knew that there was a better life. I knew
there was something. I didn't know what that life looked like,
but I knew there was something better that what I've
been doing to myself for years, and I knew God
was pushing me that way new.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
So what would you say to people who are struggling,
good people but they're watching an addiction, take everything that
matters in life, because that's what it does, little by little.

Speaker 18 (47:18):
That there's a better life, That God has something in
store for you that you have no idea what it
could be like. God has opened up so many doors
in my life. I had no idea that this is
what my life could look like. That I'd be helping
other women get sober and you know, leading them to
God and leading them to sobriety. And it's just just

(47:39):
hold on and don't give up.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
And receive Jesus, receive his blood and receive Today we
bury the old youth and we resurrect the new youth.
This is powerful.

Speaker 4 (47:54):
I baptize you
