(06:49):
Let's get on with the word. ALRIGHTY. I want you all.
I don't think I'm gonna be along with you, but
I don't know how the Holy Ghost is going to
do this. I really don't, but I want you to
be prepared. We're gonna Our scripture for today is one

(07:10):
scripture and this is not usually how I do it.
If some is found in Psalms sixty nine and thirty.
I heard the songs some months ago. We were in
an all night prayer in our prayer summit, not the summit,

(07:30):
but the all night prayer, and one of the bishops
came on the line and he quoted a scripture that
has stuck with me to today through today. And I
want you all to hear this here because it will
help you. It will bless you. It will help you

(07:55):
to know that God is with you. And God there's
a what you and there's something that you can do.
Let me explain this. There's something that you can do
to expand God's presence around you. There's something that you

(08:18):
can do to illuminate the presence of God around you
so you can feel more secure in His presence. Psalm
sixty nine thirty says this, I will praise the name

(08:38):
of God with a song. I will praise the name
of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
Now the word magnify is identified or mean this to

(08:59):
a large to make appear larger than it usually does. Okay,
and will magnify. I will magnify God with thanksgiving, meaning

(09:21):
that each time I give God thanks for something that
He's done, I can identify in my life that he's done.
He will be magnified in my life. And I want
him to magnify in my thought so he can have

(09:45):
supremacy over the things that I think in my mind.
Because you know that the things that you think in
your mind will captivate you sometime and bring you into
worry or distress a man, or lead you in another
direction the thought. I want him to be magnified in
my life because he will take my conversation in a

(10:06):
way that I will. I will speak life and not death.
I want him to be magnified because I want to
believe at all time, not just when it suits me,
that He is able to do exceeding and abundantly above
what I can act or think. I want to. I

(10:31):
want this to happen. I want him to be magnified
hallelujah every time I call his name. I want the
thought of God to be so magnified that the that
when when the wind hear it peace, Jesus said, be still.

(10:51):
I want it to be so magnified. When I speak
to a pain that is in my body, somewhere is peace,
Be still, Glory to God. I wanted to be so
magnified in my life that when I speak over another
person's life hallelujah, that even their bodies and their ears,

(11:12):
who may be dull of hearing hallelujah, is subject to
that the presence of God hallelujah. I want God to
be so magnified in my life that, like Peter, when
they seeving hallelujah, even my shadow will cause the manifestation

(11:35):
hallelujah of healing or the blessings of the God to
come on someone else other than me. Y'all get where
I'm coming from right now, magnifying God. And all we
have to learn how to do is learn how to
say thank your Lord, hallelujah, Thank you Lord, hallelujah. The

(12:00):
title is give thanks to God. It's a simple thing, hallelujah.
We start out by saying thank you Lord, thank you,
just opening the mind in obedience to God. Thank you Lord,
Thank you Lord. And you be surprised. The more you thinking,
the Holy Spirit begins to bring to your imagination things

(12:24):
that He's done for you and with you that are
worthy of giving him thanks for Hallelujah. Y'all didn't hear me,
did you? Or did you hear me? That the Holy
gooses will bringing things to your remembrance. This is what
you can This is why you've given God thanks without
even knowing or remembering why you've given him thanks. But

(12:45):
you just open your mouth in obedience, giving God thanks
hallelujah and magnifying him in a situation, Hallelujah, Glory to God.
It is said. Now this is not a scripture, but
it is said by a lot of people. When I
think of the goodness of Jesus and all that He's

(13:09):
done for me, my soul cries out, Hallelujah. I thank
God for saving me. It is said, hallelujah. Why because
the scriptures give hallelujah gives reference to hallelujah, hallelujah. The
goodness that God has done for us in our state

(13:31):
of being, hallelujah, when we did not deserve it. God's
sin has only begotten son that so whosoever believed in
Him should not perish, but have ever lasting life. Why
when we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus Christ
and believe in our heart that God raised it from

(13:51):
the dead, the Bible declares that we shall be saved. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
That find him because he has come to deliver you, hallelujah.
Magnify him, because he's saved you from yourself. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
You might have to go through some trials and some tribulations,

(14:15):
but my soul is anchored in the Lord. Hallelujah. I
learned how to give thanks hallelujah, even if I couldn't
remember what to thank him for. I learned to open
my mouth and cry, thank your Lord, hallelujah, Thank your Lord,
and wait on the Holy Spirit to bring them out
remembrance to those teams that He's done for me, some

(14:37):
of which I may have forgotten along the years, through
the years that are gone, hallelujah. I got a reason
to give him thanks glory to God, hallelujah. I got
a reason to want him to be magnified in my life.
This is how the Lord described it to me when
I got this revelation on inscription how you described to

(14:59):
me was I had a vision, and each time, hallelujah,
I said, thank you Lord, Thank you Lord. First in
obedience and through faith, I open my mouth say thank you.
Then he began to give me visions or remembrance of
the things that He has done for me over the years. Hallelujah, hallelujah.

(15:21):
And then he showed me it's like an umbrella, and
that umbrella opens up, it spreads out more and more
and more and stretches to cover you glory to God.
And he showed me this umbrella. Each time I said
thank you Lord, the umbrella spread it around me more
and more and more, and it began to cover me. Hallelujah, hallelujah.

(15:46):
I remember what the Bible says in Psalms in ninety one, hallelujah.
He said, they will come against you on your right
hand by by shund down, and they will come to
you our thousands that have come at thy side, and
ten thousand let thy right hand, but it will not
come thy die dwelling glory to God. Hallelujah. He began

(16:10):
to show me hallelujah by simply opening your mouth and
give God thanks hallelujah. That the presidence of the Lord. Hallelujah,
is a rebuke to the devil, my God from glory, hallelujah.
Don't you know Sin cannot stand in the president of
the Lord. Hallelujah. Glory to God, hallelujah, hallelujah, Glory to God.

(16:34):
Sin cannot. Now the Bible declares this, I want to
be correct about it. I want to be correct hallelujah.
In the Book of Job it states that Satan came
before God hallelujah, and he asked Satan what was he doing?
He said, I'm going to and fro on earth. I'm paraphrasing, hallelujah.

(16:56):
And he asked me, have he considered have you considered
my servant job? How say, yeah, but you got a
hedge around them. Look at God, saints. Do you want
a hedge around you? Do you need a hedge around you?
Glory to God, islan lujah, Glory to God, hallelujah. All
give thanks unto the Lord, hallelujah, for he is good.

(17:20):
Philippians four and eight says this, Finally, watch this, hallelujah.
When you begin to give God thanks out of for
seemingly no reason, then just that I feel like giving

(17:41):
God thanks. Watch this, Paul told Philippi this. He said, Finally,
my brothers, what sever things are true? What whoever things
are honest? What who other things are just? What's whoever
things are pure? What's whoever things are lovely? Hallelujah? What's

(18:06):
whoever things are of good report? If there be any virtue,
if they're be any praise, Think on these things. Why.
I'm gonna tell you why hallelujah. My father used to
call it stinking thinking. Glory to God. All of those
corrupt thoughts that came to bring you down, to bring

(18:30):
came to depress you, came to bring stress in your life,
came to bring worry in your life, cause you to
be overly concerned about your well being. When you told God,
when you asked Jesus to come into your heart and
be your lord, Glory to God. You didn't realize what
you were doing. You'd be asked him to come in
to be your master teacher and take care of you. Hallelujah,

(18:53):
Glory to God, Hallelujah. He shall supply all of your
needs accordinated riches and glory by Christ Jesus. When the
enemy attacked that belief, that thought, that's in your mind. Hallelujah.
He said, think on these things, hallelujah, Go over to God, hallelujah.
Think on those things that are just, those things that
are pure, those things that are lovely, if the beingnery

(19:16):
are praised, hallelujah. Think on those things. Why because you
don't want hallelujah. Like it just said, Like I heard
Peta say one time, you don't want birds flying around
your head trying to lay a nest in your mind
when you're trying to think on those Be positive about
your actions, be positive about your conversation, hallelujah. Don't you

(19:40):
know our deeds are birth, hallelujah, out of our thoughts.
Our deeds are birth out of our thoughts. Your deeds
your when you let unjust deeds, when you le perverseness

(20:01):
get in your thoughts, then there's a battle going on
for you to choose what is right or wrong. If
you don't have the word of God in there to
show you what's right, hallelujah, you cannot be conformed in
your mind. So you can prove what is good and acceptable, hallejah.
And many times you will give place to that which
is evil, My God from glory hallelujah, and that sets

(20:24):
up in your heart glory to God. And to try
to get it out of your heart, a former way
of doing things, a form of behavior that you don't
need anymore. It turns into lust. Hallelujah, hallelujah. And when
it's conceived to turn into sin, glory to God, my
God from glory. So what you think hallelujah has a

(20:47):
lot to do with what you believe. For with the heart,
man believes unto righteousness. Hallelujah, Glory to God, my God
from glory. Now go to Thesalonians. I told you I
wasn't gonna before you talking about giving thanks to God.
It produces hallelujah, and you magnify the Lord in your life.

(21:09):
I'm not gonna worry about you shouting on it. I
can get glad about it myself, but I'm going But
I do know this. When you receive this hallelujah, this
revelation right here, and start practicing, you're gonna shout on
your own Hallelujah. You're gonna be glad that you do it. Hallelujah.
You're gonna be glad that you're out of your mouth
you speak blessings hallelujah, hallelujah, over yourself and learn to

(21:33):
give God thanks even when you don't know why, even
when you don't feel like it. You're gonna learn to
open your mouth. Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus. Just thank your Lord.
Thank you for being who you are. Thank you for
your holiness. Thank you for your sanctification. Thank you for
your love. Thank you for your goodness. Thank you for
your kindness. Thank you Lord for never leaving me nor

(21:54):
for saken. Thank you for the food on my table.
Thank you for the clothes on my back. Thank you
for the house hall. Thank you for the gasoline of
going in my car. Thank you for the few dollars
I got in my pocket. Thank you Lord for my son.
Thank you for my daughter. Thank you that you're gonna
bring him back one day. Hallelujah. Thank you Lord for
my wife. Thank you for my job. Thank you find

(22:15):
things to give God? Thanks why because the earth is
the Lord, and the foreigners thereof and day that well
there in everything belongs to God. Hallelujah. Now to go
to the book Theessalonians. First, Thatsalonians, go with me, right quay,
we're talking about giving thanks to God. Hallelujah. This is

(22:40):
this is what Paul tells. The Thessalonians followed this prescription.
Saw in the verse fifteen first Desalonians, Chapter five, give
me Chapter five, Verse fifteen. First, that's the one there,

(23:01):
verse fifteen. I want you to get some meat, and
they give you some meat for thought. Excuse me, give
me thanks to God. Okay, Now see that none render

(23:26):
evil for evil unto any man. See that none render
evil for evil to any man. It didn't say only
the Christians. It didn't say only to your brother. It
didn't say only to those who you like. It said
any man over to God. See, we got to eat

(23:48):
the whole world. We got to We got to live
by the whole thing, and not minimize what God has said,
My God from glory, but every but ever, excuse me,
but ever follow that which is good, Ever that which
from he said. Everything, follow that which is good, both

(24:10):
among yourself that getting here it is again, and to
all men. Don't just do it to your relatives, don't
just do it to your friends. Don't just do it
to the ones you like, but to every man. Look
at God, watch us. We're talking about giving thanks to God. Hallelujah.

(24:31):
He said, rejoice evermore, hallelujah. This is a state of mind.
Rejoice evermore. Verse sixteen, pray without ceasing, hallelujah. Now this
is a scripture right here. When I read it the
first time, long time ago, thirty years ago. To add

(24:51):
to my remembrance, I didn't know how to pray to
God without ceasing. As a matter of fact, I said, God,
now how do I pray to you without ceasing? And
God's response to me, I believe, was keep on living.
And I did. And I found reason hallowy to pray

(25:13):
because the circumstances of life, the situations in life that
came at me day after day after day, after being transformed,
after being becoming a part of the New Birth and
receiving the Holy Spirit hallowljah, I found out that I
couldn't do things the way that I used to do them.

(25:36):
I couldn't respond like I used to respond hallewjah. So
I had to learn to pray in the moment and
ask God for help. And sometime, like David did in
Chapter twelve Psalm, it reduced itself down to help Lord,
Help Lord, if it wasn't but that brief moment, I

(26:00):
need your help glory to God. We talk about giving
thanks glory to God, hallelujah. Eighteen And in everything give
thanks hallelujah, for this is the will of God in
Christ Jesus. Concerning you. Look at what Paul tells us
for Thessalonians. In everything, everything includes at all, It's conclusive.

(26:31):
It includes, yes, that encounter when something bad's happened to you.
I'm not saying glory in the fact that you experienced
something bad, but at least Lord, hey, thank you for
getting me through it. Hallelujah. We know I'm not saying

(26:52):
if somebody parishes or dies, give God thanks about that.
But I'm saying you still got to get through it.
Thank God for getting through it. Thank God that you
are able to help in the situation. Whatever the case
may be, there's a reason to give God thanks. Even

(27:12):
if you don't know it. Then give God thanks. Wow.
Because the Spiriture says in everything, give thanks for this
is the will of God in Christ. It is concerning you.
And verse nineteen says quits not the spirit. This is
the time that you need to allow the Spirit of
the Living God. This is capital s the Holy Spirit,

(27:36):
the Spirit of Truth. You need to let him do
what He do you need at this time. The Bible says,
the Holy Spirit will intercede for you when you don't
know what to pray for. He knows what you have
need of. He knows the mind of God. He knows
the plans that God have for you. They're good and

(27:57):
not evil, and there are to manifest to you. And
expect it in Hallelujah. Twenty. Despise not prophesying. Despise not
the revealing of the truth. Despise not the revealing of

(28:18):
the truth. What the word of God is truth hallelujah.
It gives you the truth and the truth. Get this.
The truth will override the facts. It's a fact that
you got an illness in your body right, But the
truth in God is that I am healed by His striketh.

(28:40):
Come on now and it will take authority over the facts. Hallelujah.
And this occurs with the presidence of God. Give thanks
to God. You magnify him over the situation. He is
the creative all things by God from God. Despise not prophesying.
Prove all things, hallelujah. Hold fast that which is good.

(29:06):
Hold it whatever God has showed you that it's good.
Hold on to it, don't let it go. Prove all
things see if it be of God. The Bible tells
us the spirits that be ordainumed or the power that
be ordained of God. Ask God if that spirit or

(29:28):
if that power is supposed to be in your life,
ask God to take authority over it. By giving God
thanks Halloween, everything that's not like him will have to go.
Everything that He didn't appoint to you will have to
be removed. When you give God thanks, Why because you're

(29:51):
magnifying him. I hope y'all getting this. God has give
me a word platitude. But the magnitude of this, of this,
of this revelation in our lives is by simply given thanks.

(30:12):
You make him larger than the situation. You make him
larger than not so much to the world, because he's
already there, but in you, in your belief, in your faith,
he becomes greater than the object or the fact that
is existing. In your presence. Hallelujah, Glory to God, Hallelujah.

(30:35):
Listen this twenty two abstained from all appearances of evil,
abstained from all appearances. Why you in the presence of
a holy God, you can't look like God and look
like the world at the same time. By God from glory.
Your desire shit is to separate yourself from the very

(30:57):
appearance of evil. Hallelujah. Three. And the very God of Peace.
Listen what it says, and everything you give thanks. But
this is will God concerned you through Christ, Jesus and
the very God of Peace, sanctify you Holy. He will
set you apart. The Bible declares that this God that

(31:21):
does the work when you mad, when you magnify him
in your presence, He puts you in a safe place,
and he does all the work for you. It is
him that do it, and he will sanctify you holy.
He will set you apart, holy, and set you aside

(31:41):
for his use, and will not allow the enemy to
use you. Glory to God, and pray God your whole spirit,
your spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto
the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will protect you.

(32:03):
He will keep you until that day. Oh Glory to God. Hallelujah.
If we only learn how to give God thanks even
when we don't know what we're giving God thanks for,
just open your mouth and start thanking God. Just start
thanking Him and allow the Holy Spirit to give you

(32:26):
things in particular that you can give thanks for glory
to God. Hallelujah. I'm almost through glory to God. Now
go with me the Jonah all right, quick. Jonah said
this chapter two, verse nine. He said, but I will
sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanks God talking
to God. But I will sacrifice unto the unto d

(32:53):
with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that that
I have viowed salvation is of the Lord. I will
give God what he's doue thanks. I will give God
what is due to him. Thanks. Thanks be unto God,

(33:19):
the creative Heaven and Earth. I didn't get myself out
of the mess I was in looking at twenty delight.
God did. I didn't deliver myself from dangers that I
seen and something that I did not even know on
what with the world? God did? I didn't put the

(33:43):
food on my table. God did. He gave me the job,
gave me favor with me. And when men didn't want
to have anything to do with me, God did that.
He put it in their hearts. Hallelujah, to give me
a job. It wasn't what I want, but it supplied

(34:03):
every one of my needs and put a roof over
my head, food on my table, Glory to God close
on my back, hallelujah, hallelujah. It provided for me hallelujah,
a testimony that I could share with somebody else, hallelujah.
And after being obedient and saying God, thank you for hallelujah,

(34:27):
thank you just for I just thank you for being God, hallelujah,
he provided for my thoughts hallelujah, something else to think
about other than the state of the world hallelujah, and
what men are doing to me, or what men are
trying to do to me, hallelujah, or how I feel,
how I'm discouraging, how things didn't go my way hallelujah, hallelujah.

(34:53):
He provided for me that comfort hallelujah, that came in hallelujah,
and gave me peace when the waters around me were troubled.
Glory to God. Gave me peace when the when the
fires of this world, when the when the raging fires
of this world tried to consume me, Glory to God, hallelujah.

(35:14):
He delivered me out of my fears hallelujah, hallelujah. He
sustained me hallelujah. In my desert places, hallelujah. Glory to God, hallelujah.
When there was no water, he provided me for me
for my first time. When there was no food, hallelujah. Hallelujah.
He put food in my stomach. Over to God. He

(35:37):
took the hunger pains away, my God from glory, hallelujah, hallelujah.
When they're living good like it was coming my way.
God's present were the ever present help to me. Hallelujah.
In times of trouble, hallajah. This as mere presence hallelujah,
comforted me my God from glory hallelujah. Here and heal

(36:01):
is my very being in him? Do I trust her? Hallelujah.
I put no confidence in the flex hallelujah, but my
confidence in God. Therefore I use what he says. I
call upon him hallelujah, with thanksgiving. I call him, Thank
your Lord, and he covers my situation. Thank your Lord,

(36:23):
because it's not minds anymore. It belongs to him. I said,
Thank your Lord. Hallelujah. Oh you, my wise counsel. I
need somebody to talk to you right now. I need
some good advice on how to deal with this and
how to deal with that, how to deal with that
person or that person? I need you, hallelujah, Thank your Lord, hallelujah.

(36:44):
If you say thank you Lord, you'll come right there
or hurr it. Why because he never left you? Know
you forsaken hallelujah. He will forsake you, hallelujah. Why because
he never left you hallelujah. You just were not aware
that he was there. Hallelujah. God's your way of bringing
yourself into remembers that God is there all the time. Hallelujah.

(37:10):
Bless it be the name of the Lord in everything.
Learn to give thanks unto the Lord again. Psalm sixty
nine thirty says, with thanksgiving we magnify him. Get that
in your spirit, get that in your understanding. I hope

(37:31):
you see that in your spirit, realm with thanks, with
the giving of thanks. Excuse me. We are called by faith,
we live by faith. So even if you don't remember
at that moment what to give him thanks for, just
be obedient and give him thanks halleujah. Because at that moment,

(37:55):
your your person, your mind, your heart needs to know
that God is with you. There's nothing that you're going
through that He does not know about you need to
know at that time, because sometimes these situations come at
us so fast and so awesome. They want to overwhelm

(38:18):
you and take your mind right off of God. I
believe that David said, lo, I'm with you always. No,
it wasn't David. The bodyble says, low, I'm with you always,
even until the end. Hallelujah. We need to be reminded

(38:38):
of that. Just saying thank your Lord will put your
state of being back on track. God is with me, hallelujah.
God is with me, and he has a plan. He
has a plan and get this. It will not fail.

(39:00):
Do you believe that it will not fail? Give God thanks.
Learn train your tongue to give God thanks. Ask the
Holy Spirit to bring it to your rememberies as often
as you need it. Holy gooes. Remind me to give

(39:21):
God thanks. Remind me to give it thanks just for
just because. Hallelujah. I need to know that He's with
me through the good and through the bad, hallelujah, through
the storms and through the rain, through sickness and through pain, hallelujah,
Glory to God. I need to know that. I need

(39:44):
to know that, and I need to be able to
convey that to you by my behavior, the way I
live should be. I should be able by you looking
at my life to see that the manifestation of what
I'm saying is true. Hallelujah. Glory to God. The Bible

(40:07):
tells declares that that we should be spreading His glory
in the earth. He said, Jesus asked Jesus to teach
him how to pray. Our father, who art in heaven hollowed,
be thy name that kingdom come. Thy will be done

(40:28):
in earth as it is in heaven. Hallelujah. I will
be done in earth as it is in heaven. And
that's to give God glory in all the earth. Magnify him,
show him to be God, give him his is just

(40:49):
do give him the credit for everything, because without him
you can do nothing. You can't do a thing. You
can't even breathe. Without God, you can't back one of
your eyes. Could you imagine not being able to bat
your eyes? Can you imagine this? I've done this one time,

(41:13):
aware of everything that's going on around there, trying to
wake up, and you couldn't, and you tried with all
your might to wake up. Felt like you were trapped. Hallelujah.
Felt like you were trapped. It was a scary feeling
to me the first time I've done that. You know,
it was so scary that I said, oh, I never

(41:34):
want to get back to that again. But guess what,
like a fool, I said, let me try that again.
See if that's real. You know what. It happened to
me again, and God released me from it, and I said,
you know what, I won't do that no more. I

(41:54):
won't do that no more. Sometimes we get ourselves in
some some horrific, in some scary situations, and you need
to know that God is with you. Learn how to
give him thanks, Learn how to give him thanks. Make

(42:15):
it a part of your sacrifice. As Jonah did, I
will give you the sacrifice of thanksgiving. I will sacrifice
my tongue to utter thanksgiving to you even when I

(42:36):
can't see a reason or think of a reason to
thank you. I'mna sacrifice my tongue to utter thanksgiving to you.
I'm gonna make my tongue say thank you Lord, even
when I don't know why. I'm thinking you hallelujah, Why,
because I know that it's going to bring thoughts memory

(43:00):
back to me. That's gonna let me know that you're
always with me. You're always with me. You're always with me. Father.
It is in thy son Jesus name. We take this
revelation of knowledge. We take it, Lord, and we apply

(43:21):
it to our everyday lives to give you thanks just
because that our old miles open up early in the morning,
at any time during the day and utter thanks thanksgiving

(43:41):
to you. Hallelujah, hallelujah, Because Lord, we need to be reminded.
We need to be reminded not only that you are magnified,
but you've already been there. You've already supplied what we

(44:02):
have need of. So in fact, we'll magnifying you in
our minds to remind us of your ever present love
for us. We thank you, Yeah, not our truth that cake.
We thank you. We even praise you for your glory. Hallelujah.

(44:22):
Now to those of you who don't know Jesus and
apartment of your sin and want to experience this presence
of God, hallowah, this peace, hallelujah, this comfort of knowing
that the True and the Living God, all powerful God
is always there with you even while you're going through.

(44:45):
You need Jesus in your life. You need to accept
Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior. Want today, ask
them to come into your heart. Ask God to forgive
you for your sins. If this is something that you
want to do on today, you can repeat after me. Now.

(45:07):
If you're not you're not sure, I'm gonna pray a
prayer for you too. Thank God, give your mind to
those of If you want to receive Jesus Christ as
your Lord and savior, repeat after me. Father, I have
said against you and against others, forgive me no, no, no

(45:32):
talk shock out of an earnest, sincere heart. Lord, I
am sorry for the things I've done. I asked you
to come into my heart and be my Lord and
savior and cleanse up, clean out of my heart any

(45:53):
form any left over unrighteousness that it remains in me. Hallelujah.
I believe that Jesus is your son. I believe that
he died on the cross from my sins. And I
believe that the same spirit that raised him up from
the dead will also raise me up from the dead

(46:17):
works or the works that were not productive for kingdom living,
for righteous living. And I ask you, Lord to give
me your spirit that will guide me into truth, that
will equip me to be a witness, for it is

(46:38):
Thy son, Jesus name. I pray, Amen and Amen. If
you prayed that prayer of faith, the Bible declares that
you shall be saved. Now, I want you to understand this.
Now that you're saved by grace through faith, it's a
gift of God. You can't boast about it because you
didn't do it. It's a gift, free gift God is given

(47:00):
to you because of your confession. But understand this. In
your flesh, there are some still behaviors that you need
to deal with. There's still some false thoughts of appearing
real that that inhabit your mind, and you need teaching.
You need to be taught the word of God. You

(47:22):

need examples. You need people that are like minded around you.
