We thank God for each of you that are joining
us today. I'm Pastor Ronnic Hooks of the Word of
Life John one fourteen Church Church located in Troy, Alabama.
We are virtual church. Hallelujah. And we stand by the

(01:42):
Word of God that says, and the Word became flesh,
and it dwelled among us, and we beheld as glory
that of the only begotten of the Father, full of
grace and truth. And in our endeavor to be used
by God to feed his sheep with knowledge and understanding,
that we may be any pistols, read of men, walking

(02:03):
word of God, hallelujah, talking the Word of God, living
the Word of God. Hallelujah. Let us pause for a
moment a prayer. Right now, Father, we come to you
and we thank you for your grace and your mercy. Hallelujah.

(02:28):
Today we give you all the glory on and the
praise in the name of Jesus. We lift up our
burdens and our courage to you, my son, Hallelujah, for
it is you who will sustain us and not suffer
the righteous to be removed. We cast all of our
cares upon you, Lord, for your care for us. As

(02:49):
we humble ourselves under your mighty hand. Hallelujah, we take
on the mind of Christ. They put on the mind
of Christ, that we may be sober and vigilant for
our enemy, Satan, the devil as a ruined lion walking about,
seeking whom we may devour. But we decline to no
weapon that he has formed against us. Shall prosper as

(03:12):
we learn by the power of the Holy Spirit, to
walk up right for you before you, as we study
your word, as we hear your word, and increase in faith,
knowledge and understanding, and foremost in love, hallylujah. In the
name of Jesus. So Lord, we ask Lord, that our
hearts be attentive to what you have to say. Myself

(03:34):
and those who are listening, I asked that you help
me to step back hallelujah, and allow the Holy Spirit
to minister this word to your people. Today. We're bind
the works of the flesh, and we take authority over
all the power of the enemy for its in Jesus' name,
we do pray. Amen and Amen, God bless you again

(03:58):
on this morning. We speak blessings over each one of
you in your lives. I hope is that through Christ Jesus,
that you will live for the blood of tones.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
It.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
We're justified by the blood and we're saved by his life. Hallelujah,
Glory to God. I want you to open with your
open your bibles with me on today. We're going to
explore a subject to that the Lord has given me

(04:34):
and which appends in pencils and uh with your studying
of yourselves and well. I believe that the Lord will
speak to your situation privately, and that when we come
together as the Body of Christ, will be thoroughly equipped,
will be fitted together. There will be no division in

(04:57):
the body, because all of us are different members but
having different officers, but one body will be able to
carry out their assignments because we are the workmanship of
God in Christ Jesus. Unto good works that God is
already ordained that we should do all. E lujah. I'm

(05:22):
going to speak to you from the topic of every
step on the rock. Every step you take is on
the rock. Every move, every decision, every thought, every imagination,

(05:44):
every behavior, your motives. Glory to God is established on
the rock, every step on the rock, every step, not
just when you're in trouble, not just when you feel
like it. But we wanted to become a nature, a

(06:10):
part of them. We wanted to become the nature that
we live by, not a part, but the nature that
we live by. Because our sinful nature, we're drawn away
by our own lust and enticed by our own sinful desires.

(06:31):
So it is our endeavor, Ah, as ministers of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, to feed you with knowledge and understanding,
so that you would desire to take on the nature
of Christ and die to the nature of your flesh.

(06:53):
So our scriptures will be reading from are found in
first and Psalms thirty seven, and in Saint John fourteen.
And I'll give other scriptures as we go along. Well,
let's open your bibles to a founding scripture on this morning.
Psalms thirty seven, verse twenty three and twenty four. Psalms

(07:17):
thirty seven, verse twenty three and twenty four. The steps
of a good man are ordered by the Lord. The
steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,
and he delighteth in his way. The steps of a
good man are ordered by the Lord, and he delighteth

(07:40):
in his way. We'll further talk about this. But they
asked Jesus, they call him good Master, And he said,
why I call this thou me good? There's none good
but God. So if since this is true, not if
this is in true, but since this it's true, there's

(08:01):
none good but God, because it's his glory that is
revealed to us, his goodness and his kindness towards us,
even while we were at sinners. Uh, there's none good
but God. Because God orchestrated his recon ministry of reconciliation
towards us when he gave us his son. He showed
us his goodness even while we were yet sinners. Hallelujah, hallelujah.

(08:25):
So there's nothing good but God. So God told Moses
when he was in the mountain, and hallelujah. I want
to dwell in the midst of my people. I want
to dwell in the midst of my people. Well, we
know the story. The children Israel rose up to play,
and God told Modes to go down and deal with

(08:49):
the people, and Moses ended up interceding for them because
God was going to destroy them. So in the stead
of God being in the midst of his people, he
his temple was on the outside of the camp. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
So God had God devised before the foundation of the

(09:12):
earth a way to make this happen, so he could
be in the midst of his people to share his
goodness with them personally, one on one, personally. And that
the rest of that scripture goes to say in twenty
fourth son, though he fall, he shall not be utterly

(09:35):
cast down, for the Lord upholded him with his hand.
Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down,
for the Lord holdeth him with his hand. Now, the
illustration of this that the Lord gave me was like
so picture a scale bound and seen picture of scale balancing.

(10:03):
And as Jesus said, come unto me, all ye that
labor that are heavy lightening, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke up and learn of me, for my
yoke is easy and my burdens of life like hallelujah.
Some fifty five twenty two say cast your burdens upon him,
for he and he shall establish you. One Peter, chapter five,

(10:24):
verse six to the verse seven says cast your carriers
upon him, for he cares for you. So picture this.
You are a scale, and this is you, and this
is Christ. And you're casting your burdens upon him. And
as you cast him upon him, you begin to go higher,

(10:46):
and he begins to go lower. Hallelujah. And he lifts
you up Glory to God. As he begins to go higher,
casting your cares and your burdens upon him, hallelujah. He
gives you his yoke is easy and burdens of light,
and you begin to excel hallelujah, and righteousness hollowly. Why

(11:07):
he carries away your sins and your burdens, hallelujen, to
the Father to perform them or to do the work
that you cannot do for yourself. This is the how
the Lord portrayed that to me Halloween, to give to
you on today, Glory to God, hallelujah. So that being said,

(11:29):
let us explore in the scripture what the Lord had
to say about every step on a rock, every step
on a rock, hallelujah. For this illustration illustrates that you know,
even though you're going up, you still have to be
careful in what you do so you don't encounter any

(11:52):
unnecessary weights or sins. For the Bible elders that we
should lay overside every weight, and seeing that do it
so easily beset us. But God is able, hallelujah. Going
to chapter fourteen with me in Saint John very for me.

(12:15):
We read it all a lot, or have ridden read it,
but there's a lot in it that we can apply
to stepping out on the rock. We know that Peter,
when he seen Jesus walking on water, asked him say, Lord,

(12:38):
bid me to come. And when he did Jesus say come,
Peter was able to stand on the water. But we
know that soon as the ways begin to rise and
the waters were troubled, Peter began to sink. Hallwlu and

(13:00):
that which he stood on going out cease to be
Why why okay verse one of chapter fourteen, Let not
your heart be trouble. Ye believe in God, believe also

(13:22):
in me. This is Jesus speaking in my father's house
on many mansions. If it were not so, I would
have told you I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
and if I go to the parent place for you. See,

(13:44):
you got to choose, I will come again and receive you.
He's coming back to receive you unto myself. That where
I am there ye may be also. So we have
a partners and his plan as well. He's going to

(14:05):
prepare a place for us. Hallowyah for you, hallelujah. And
he says, I will come again and receive you. It's
an individual thing, but at the same time, as a
part of the body, I will and receive you unto
myself from where I am that you shouldn't be also,

(14:26):
And whether I go, ye know, and the way ye know?
Now Verse five, it says Thomas said, unto him talking
to the Lord Lord, we know not whether thou goest,
And how can we know the way? This knew what

(14:47):
Jesus says. Jesus says unto him, I am the Way,
the Truth and the Life. I am the Way, the
Truth and the Life, Glory to God. Romans five. I

(15:11):
believe it was around first seven or six. It says
that we were by his blood we were justified, and
by his life we are saved. Glory to God. M mmmm.
You can look at that yourself. Glory to God. Hallejah.
I am the Way, the Truth, and the life. No
man coming unto the Father but by me. Let's stop

(15:34):
right there. And our studies in our Sunday schools recently,
we've been studying about Jesus as intercessor, the great High
Priest after the Order of mel chesterdak hallajenh. What was
different about him and the others was that he was
not only the high priest, but he was also he

(15:55):
also take on the order or the responsibility or the
power of in Uh Glory to God. Now Chazidac was
that he not only was the king, but he was
the high priest as well. Well, we have a greater
in Christ, Jesus. He is the King of King, the
Lord of Lord. He is our great high Priest. The

(16:16):
Bible says that he enters into the heavens, into the
holies of holies, hallelujah, to present himself as the perfect
sacrifice for us, for us words, hallelujah, hallelujah. And we're
talking about we're talking about the steps on the rock,
and we're he's establishing himself as that rock right now.

(16:41):
M Glory to God. He said, I am the Way,
the Truth, and the Life. Hallelujah. No man cometh unto
the Father, but by me, So as he ascended through
the heavens to go into the holies of holies, and
and and interceed for us, hallelujah, to show his father

(17:02):
his his nail scarred hands, with the blood hallelujah that
was his on in his feet as well, and the
wound in his side, for by his stripes where healed,
Hallowed Jujah, who when we learn to step on the rock,
m these things are made available to us because he

(17:23):
is the first, first partaker of this fruite Hallelujah. The
Bible says that he learned obedience through the things. Now
look at this. He learned obedience through the things that
he suffered. Glory to God. Now now look at this.
He's the word of God that was made flesh. He
already knew, hallelujah. With the will of the Father is

(17:46):
but he subjected himself unto the under his father mighty hand. Hallelujah, hallelujah,
to suffer even as we suffer. Hallelujah. He demonstrated that
in like manner, we have to submit ourselves unto God.
I know you, I know you got your PhDs and

(18:08):
your d d d s, and your and and and
your Google and your and and and your Thompson changed
and your concordances and all these things. But God Jesus.
But Jesus even himself subjected himself to learn hallelujah, obedience

(18:28):
through the things that he suffered. Hallelujah. And likewise we
learned to uh to suffer, we learn to obey God. Hallelujah.
We're talking about our steps on the rock, not a rock,
but the rock marked the perfect man for the end

(18:49):
of that man's peace. Let's keep it moving and verse seven.
And ye have known me, Jesus said to Thomas, and
ye have known me, Ye should have known my father also,
and from henceforth ye know him and have seen him. Hallelujah.

(19:12):
Philip said, unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and
it suffices us. Jesus said, unto him, have I been
so long with you? And yet hast thou not known me? Philip,
He that hath seen me has seen the Father? And

(19:33):
now and how sayst thou, then show us the Father
all this time he had been with him, and they
did still didn't even realize that when they seen him,
they seen the Father. Hallelujah. In other words, what does

(19:54):
that translate to us in this message? Step on the
rock calling? Just like the Father moved, Jesus moved. He
subjected him, even though he was the word of God
that has been here all the time. He subjecting himself
to follow only the pattern of it, the words that

(20:16):
his father had given them. Glory jes Why Jesus is
our Lord as well as our savior. We follow his
pattern Hollow the Bible says again, by his life we
are saved. Glory to God. Hollewood, Verse ten. Believest thou
not that I am looking here. Now. This is what

(20:38):
I was explaining to you first when I said that
he wanted to abide, He wanted to be in the
midst of his people. Look at what God said Jesus
said here, believest thou, not that I am in the
Father and the Father in me. The words that I

(20:58):
speak unto you, I speak not of myself. See what
I'm saying. He didn't come and preaches own of his
own intellect or his own gospel. He not speak. I
speak not of myself, but the Father that dwelleth in
me he do with the works. I hope you all

(21:21):
catching this. We're talking about stepping on the rock, following
the pattern that following the life of Jesus. Hallelujah, Halloah,
he said the Father. I am in the Father, and
the Father's in me. God is bringing bringing to a

(21:42):
past what he wanted in the first place, to be
in the midst of his people, the where he was
with Adam. He was right there. Hallelujah all the time.
That a song saying he was there, Oh the time
he was there, Oh the time, hallelujah. Go over to God.

(22:07):
So God wants to be there in a more personal way.
You know. The scripture says that I will never leave
you know, will I forsake you love? Hallelujah. Well to
many of us that has not been manifested, and that
has not been manifested because we don't. We don't. We
don't respond or act like He's with us. If we

(22:31):
did some of the things that we do, we wouldn't
do some of the things that we think. We wouldn't
think because we realized that Jesus is on board. He's
the one that is the uh. He's not only the pilot,
the co pilot, the flight attendant, but he's the plane
we ride on his wings go over to God, hallelujah.

(22:53):
But it's him that does the works. It's him that
is the pilot. It's him that is the plane. It's
him that's the motive, the engine. It is he that
is the jet fuel. That fuel is the motive and
the engine. Glory to God. It is he the life, hallelujah,
the spirit of the law of life, that is in Christ,

(23:16):
that frees us from the law of sin and death.
It is he who motivates us. It's him, and thus
only in chapter four that teaches us brotherly love. It
is God himself that teaches how to mind our own
business and work with our own hands. Hallelujah. It is
he that do it the works and verse eleven, say,

(23:39):
believeth me that I am in the Father and the
Father in me, or else believe me for the very
work's sake. Look at the work that God has done
in your life. You're yet still alive. You'll let me

(24:00):
yet a partaker of prayers and requests some you made
and some that are made for you by other people.
You had to have a roof over your head, food
in your stomachs, in your icebox. Your bills are gonna

(24:21):
have been paid. You might be missing things that need
to be done right now, But has he ever failed you? Hallowejah?
Like the Iblue Hubrew boys said that ah because they
were in the furnace. Even if he doesn't deliver me,

(24:44):
I know he's able. Glory to God. Job said, though
he slaved me, my God from glory. Our God is able.
Don't you know that all things work together for you
or good who are called according to his purpose? We

(25:05):
give him glory. We're here to give him glory. And
somebody's watching you. How you handle what looks like to
you defeat somebody's watching? How you relate to God even
when you don't get what you think you should be getting.

(25:26):
What is your attitude? What is your state of being
when you seem to fall short of what you want
or you think the reward should be. Somebody's watching you,
your children, your grandchildren, your brother, your sister, your neighbor. Hallelujah.
See God will take that which is meant for evil

(25:48):
to good beautiful good. Whether they were a nosy neighbor
watching you and trying to find something evil against you,
you have that opportunity to show good, show the glory
of the Lord to them, and allowed them to see
Christ in you, the Hope of glory. Hallelujah, Glory to God.

(26:10):
Verse thirteen, verse twelve. Verly, I say unto you, he
that believeth on me, the works that I do, shall
he do also, and greater.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Works, hallelujah. And greater works and greater works each time
that you make the right step, the steps of a
good manner order a boy the Lord, because it's the
Christ in you, the Hope of glory, the God in
Christ in you that dictates the steps that you take.

(26:47):
And you are led by the Spirit into all truth.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Hallelujah. See coast. The Holy Spirit searcheth the mind of
God see, and he maketh intercessions on you. Hallelujah. For
God searching the heart, and He knows the mind of
the Spirit. Hallelujah. And they work together to keep you

(27:14):
on a straight and narrow path. Hallelujah, Glory the God, hallelujah.
So your works are greater, not because of anything that
you did. But because of the greater one lives in you. Hallelujah.
So you end up doing greater works. And then shall

(27:34):
you do because I go unto my father, Jesus go
unto my father. Jesus goes to his father. And greater
works than these shall you do? Because I go unto
my father. Why because he goes to the father and
he intercedes for us. Father that I'm standing in the

(27:58):
stead of running. Don't see him, but see the blood
that in my hand, my nail scarred hands, my period side,
that was shed for him. Hallelujah. The word that I've
given him, he is glorified me with it, just that
I have glorified you. Or he intercedes for us, my

(28:21):
God thirteen. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name,
that will I do, that the Father may be glorified
in the son. And whatsoever you shall ask in my
name when we ask in Jesus' name. Listen there, Uh,

(28:43):
I'm not I don't judge anybody, at least I don't
try to. I ask God to forgive me when and
I do, I may say something. If I've offended you,
please forgive me. But when he says this went tever
whatso and whatsoever you ask in my name.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
I believe we should obey to listen to that. When
we ask of God in Jesus' name, we should do
just that. Uh. He said, if you ask it in
his name, and I've heard heard it people pray prayers

(29:29):
and not mention the name of Jesus. But leave it
and leave the prayer uncovered by the name of by
the name of Jesus. But I've learned this me personally
to speak the name of Jesus. Let it be known
in Jesus name. I pray. See, I've given this authority

(29:50):
and power to come to you. Father that because he
went through the heavenly, heavenly, went through the heavenly into
the holy of holies. For me and for you, steps
of a good man are ordered by the Lord. Make
sure your steps on the rock glory to God. And

(30:11):
I try to make it a point to step on
every rock. If he says and he I asking his name,
I'm going to ask in his name, because that's what
he told me to do, and that I will do.
He said that, will I'll do that. The Father may
be glorified in the Son. Hallelujah. I'm jumping ahead of

(30:33):
myself because I go unto my father, he said, because
he goes to the Father, he goes to the Father
for me, he goes to the Father for you. Halleljah,
you've learned to walk in the steps that gone before you.
In Christ Jesus, He's already lived a life mimic or
follow the pattern mark the perfect man. For the end

(30:54):
of that man is peace, glory to God, Halleljah. And
whosoever shall ask in my name, that will I do
for the Father may be glorified in the sun. If
ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it,
he said, I will do it. If you ask anything

(31:16):
in his name, I will do it. We're talking about working,
walking on every step on the rock, not just some
of the steps, not just when we feel good or
when we're in trouble, but every step in all of
your ways, acknowledging him, and he will direct your path

(31:44):
in all of your way. I know it may seem
tedious the time, because we studied this the other day
and all the time when you in obeeding to God,
it doesn't bring about peace and doesn't bring about peace. Sometime,

(32:06):
when you walking in the will of God, you have
to go through the valley of shadow death. What he
tells you to fear no evil and believe that he's
going to prepare a table before you, not past your enemies,
but in the presence of your enemies. And you got
to believe that he's going to anoint your head with oil.

(32:28):
So your couple running over what he wanted to take
from you, where he wanted to steal from you, because
he comes to steal, killing, destroy, you got more than enough,
like Jesus said, if they want your coat, giving your
shirt too, if he wants you, if he wants you
to go one mile and go two miles with him,
Glory to God, Calleljah, Halleljah, and he will do it

(32:54):
for you. He declares that again if in Psalms hit
the two, cast your burdens upon him, and he will
sustain thee and not suffer the righteous to be removed.
Lolord to God. Turn to me Mark Mark chapter ten.

(33:16):
I want to explain to you how good God is
Mark ten, verse seventeen eighteen. And when he was gone
forth in the way, we're talking about the steps of
a good man ordered by the Lord. Hallelujah. Every step
on the rock hallelujah. And he said, when he was

(33:38):
gone forth in the way Jesus is the way, the Truth,
and the Light. There came one running and kneel to
him and ask him, good Master, what shall I do
to inherit eternal life? Now this is the parable or
the story about the rich young ruler. And Jesus unto him,

(34:01):
why call us down? Me good? There is none good
but one that is God. So we thank Jesus because
it's through him that God is able to make his
abode in us. See, there's no good Paul de care

(34:25):
And he realized that there's nothing good in us, no
good thing that dwell us. As matter of fact, he
became aware of the fact that there was a law
in his members, even in us. There's a law in
our members that wants to kill us, that wants to

(34:47):
destroy us. And he said, who will save me from
this body of death? For with the law, I said,
for with the mind I served the law of God.
But with the flesh the law of sin. So sin
was condemned than the flesh. Now, call of mine is
the enemy of God. Hallelujah. So God came down in

(35:07):
the likeness of sinful flesh in his son to create
a way to abide in us, to live in us,
in his son, hallelujah, so that the goodness his glory
can be projected in us and out of us into
this world. And we gotta let it be. So we
got to believe that our gender. We got to get

(35:30):
rid of our own agendas and our own forms of righteousness.
We got to get rid of our own plans and
be led of the spirit into all truth. Matthew seven
twenty four says this. Therefore, whosoever hear these sayings of

(35:51):
mine and do with them, I will liken him into
a wise man, which buildeth his house up on a rock. Hallelujah.
Establish your your life, the life that God has given you,
on the rock on Jesus every word that comes out

(36:13):
of his mouth. Established your life on every word. I know,
I know it. People say, well, you know, you could
be normal, or or things like be practical, or or

(36:34):
or ask me things of that nature. But if Jesus
always spoke what his father spoke, always did his father
moved him to do, why not me? Why not you?

(36:59):
When it served wouldn't it not serve you even the more?
In your your desire to be in heaven. If you
would allow every step to be on a rock, not
oh rock, but the rock. Wouldn't that serve your desire

(37:21):
to be in heaven and for others to be saved
as well? If your every step be on the rock,
my God from glory in my colozing in the Book
of Genesis that said in chapter five twenty twenty one

(37:44):
through twenty four says this, and Inoch lives sixty and
five years, and begot Metthuselah, and Enoch walk with God.
After he begot Matthusa three hundred years and begot sons
and daughters and all the days of Enoch for three
hundred and sixty five years. And Enoch walked with God,

(38:10):
and he was not for God took him even with enough.
He learned to walk with God. He learned to walk
in a way that pleased God. And God has given
us a way that pleases him and his son Jesus.

(38:34):
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life mark
the perfect man. Don't think it hard or tedious or
even we don't need all of that to type of

(38:55):
attitude to do everything that God tells you to do.
Ask God for every decision down to uh uh, Am
I gonna get regular gas today? Or super? Am I
going to buy go in the store? Or am I
going to go on this street or that street? Or

(39:15):
what am I gonna put on today? What should I
say when I walk into the president of people? How
you're doing? Or should I? Or good morning? Everything? And
you don't have to open your mouth to counsel with

(39:37):
God and all this. You know, you know something, when
I was incarcerated and God was teaching me by a spirit,
and I got to the scripture said me and should
always pray and not faint? I said, Lord, how are
you gonna do that? How am I going to do that?
That didn't sound feasible, that didn't sound doable. How am

(39:58):
I going to always? I would to use a word
like that, always pray and not faint? And in my
spirit I believe the Lord said, just wait and see.
And as I begin to grow in Christ and in
the knowledge of his son Jesus Christ, and in God's workings,

(40:20):
how you work with the prophets before that and the
kings and the people before that, I found myself praying
more and more and more and more. I found myself,
you know, not necessarily getting on my knees, but in
my mind and in my heart, Lord, how do I

(40:42):
do this? A Lord, I'm falling short in that area.
A Lord, I need you to help this person and
that person. Somebody walk up to me and say what
to pray for me? Not waiting, say Lord, I need
to lift up a prayer for this person right now
because I don't want to not forget it. And I
found out that when God all things are possible, men

(41:07):
should always pray and not faint. And our last first
four this evening, for this for today is found in
Psalms eighteen thirty three thirty four. He maketh my feet
like Heine's feet, and sitteth me upon a high place.

(41:29):
He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bowl
of steel is broken by my arms. See when God
established him. One thing about Hine's feet with the form
of a deer, a kind of deer. And what's unique

(41:51):
about them is they traverse or climb cliffs that usually
some men wouldn't even better climb. It would seem to
be impossible to scale. Mountain climbers were called. But where
it looked like there was no way, they find a
way to get up a cliff up the side of

(42:11):
a mountain, and they found small edges. And what's unique
about them is when they place their first foot and
they get ready to move it, the back foot goes
exactly where the front foot was before, exactly. The back
foot moves in union with the front exactly to the

(42:37):
place where the front foot just left, so they may
remain sure footed. That's our state of being in Jesus Christ.
So when we get to that point, as the writer

(42:58):
said in Psalms, and that obstacle that we get to
he said, then he said, and so that when you
so that a boe still is broken, it in my arms.
So that the task that God has given you to do,

(43:18):
you're well able to do it. You're strong enough to
do it. You're strong enough to carry it out. Hallelujah,
because your steps are ordered by the Lord, and He's
shown himself mighty in your life to sustain you. And
every time you ask him in your son Jesus' name,

(43:40):
in his son Jesus' name, God does perform it. Let's
pray Father, in the name of Jesus, every step that
we take, let it be on the rock, the rock,

(44:00):
and that rock is Jesus the perfect Man has come
into the world through the birth of a virgin. He
has shown us the way, for he is the way,
the truth, and the life. None of us can come
to you but by him, the rock that we stand

(44:24):
on that Peter tried to stand on. And when Lord,
we meet up with these troubles in life and distractions
that come our way, and our feelings are stirred up
in our emotions, and that sometimes crippolous. Lord, we know
because of your mercy, your compassion, fail is not and

(44:49):
we're able to be rescued by you, that we may
yet continue again to stand on the rock, because you
promise that you never leave us. Neither would you forsake
us as we stand on the rock, the rock of

(45:13):
our salvation. Let us not be weary and doing well,
doing Father, allowing every one of our steps to be
ordered by You, and taking no occasion to lean to
our own understanding. Help us, Lord, Help us, Lord, for

(45:35):
it is in thy son Jesus' name, I do pray. Amen,
and Amen, we pray that you received that prayer that
will help you in your life. And for those who
don't know Jesus or may not be sure that Jesus
is present in your life or in your hearts, you're
invited to go through the sinner's prayer with me. The

(45:59):
Bible says that if you confess with your mouth the
Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God
has raised him from the dead, doubt shall be saved. Hallelujah.
So if you would, if you're not sure, and that
any doubt in you, let me say this is the
fervent and effectual prayer of a righteous man that availeth much.

(46:22):
If you want to get to the point where you're
a righteous man in Christ and you're interceding for somebody else,
you need Christ in your life, and all you have
to do is pray in earnest ask God in earnest
sincerely to come into your heart and be your Lord
and savior. If this is something that you want, repeat

(46:46):
after me. Father, I have sinned, I've come short of
your glory. I've sended before you, and I've sinned before man.
Forgive me, Father, come into my heart and be my
Lord and savior. I believe that your son Jesus is

(47:10):
your son. I believe that he died for my sins.
I believe that as he took up his cross. I
take up my cross to bard with your help. I
believe that the spirit that raised him from the dead
will also raise me up from dead the dead. I

(47:33):
asked you Father to give me of your spirit so
I can be a witness as well. In Jesus' name,
I do pray. Amen and Amen Saints, those of you
who have just prayed that prayer, and those of you
who have witnessed this. Uh. The Bible says, not only

(47:56):
does the Greater One live in you, but he said
if you ask anything to according your will, he would
do it. In your times of trouble, call on the
name of Jesus and he will come and rescue you.
I'm assured of that. I know that to be true.
Carlin Lujah, ask him and he will do it. Those
of you who are just coming into the body of Christ,

(48:16):
