(Part 2 Divine Protection)

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Long sting hallan Lujah. Thank you, Father, We thank you
for your amazing grace. We thank you for the love
that you, hallelujah, commended presented to us while we were
yet sinners in Christ. Jesus, you gave us your son

(00:26):
that we could receive the power to become sons of God.
The Word says you came into your own, and your
own received him not but as many as it did
receive him to them, he gave power to become sons
of God. How I'm Pastor Ronnie Hooks of the Word
of Life, John one fourteen Church located in Troy, Alabama. Hallelujah.

(00:53):
And the Word became flesh, and we beheld his glory,
that of the only begotten of the Father, full of
grace and truth. We thank each of you for joining
us today. Hallelujah in our morning service. Hallelujah. A word

(01:13):
of prayer before we move any further glory. Hallelujah, Father,
most Magnificent and Pure and Holy, Righteous, perfect God. You

(01:35):
are faithful, your right, You're true. You never leave us,
neither will you forsake us. You are our Father, who
are in heaven. You reign in our hearts. For you
are in Christ Jesus who reigns in our heart, those

(01:59):
of us who are yours. And your word says that
when your doctrine abides in us, or we go to
do your doctrine, you are in us, and Christ is
in us. And if we do not your doctrine, you

(02:23):
are not in us, and neither is Christ in us.
So Lord, we ask, following the name of Jesus, Lord,
that you revealed to each of us who listens to
this prayer and watches discerning, Lord, what our state is,
what our condition is, glory to God, so the righteousness

(02:46):
of God can be revealed in and through us. Now, Lord,
let no flesh glory in thy sight as we come
before your throne of grace. Come before your people with
this word of truth. Hallelujah. We asked Father that you
will help us to yeah nakshah decrease, that you can

(03:09):
increase in us, and that the word will go forth
without any hindrance. With all power fourth in my son
Jesus name, we do pray. Amen and Amen again, Thank
God for you, those of you who are joining us
on Facebook Live and those who are will be listening

(03:29):
to us on our Heart radio and Hope Gospel Radio
station and on our YouTube channel Hallelujah Pastorni Hooks and
on Facebook. We thank God for each of you. We
don't want to think it lightly that you're with us

(03:51):
on today to review a word of truth. A few
weeks ago, the Lord gave me a word that I
didn't get to complete. The topic was divine protection. Divine protection,
and that's simply is protection that is orchestrated by God

(04:14):
himself for us, those of you who are walking in
holiness or living a life the life of God by
His spirit. In this present world. There is a protection
for you while you live according to the will of God.

(04:35):
But it's not like any protection that you would think
it is. Because God allows us to go through affliction, Amn, hallelujah.
He said, many would be our fiction, but God he
will deliver us out of them all. And one of
the things that affliction Jesus said this he learned. The
Bible says he learned obedience through the things that he suffered. Hallelujah.

(04:57):
Sometimes we have to suffer a little while. And the
one of the places, the place where He chooses you at,
is in the furnace of affliction. Look it up. For yourself.
You can google at in the furnace of affliction, he
chooses us. I want to do part two of divine protection.

(05:21):
Divine protection he gave me. I heard somebody say that
it's not about being perfect, but it's about being righteous.
God schools me on that it is about being perfect.
But this is what He's taught. He said, in our

(05:43):
struggle to be perfect and our struggle to be perfect,
because the Lord says I am perfect, so be perfect.
Glory to God, and our struggle to be perfect. Learn
to be righteous why Proverbs fourteen thirty four said righteousness exaltsination,

(06:05):
but sin is a reproach to any people learned to
be righteous, learned to be righteous. The scripture will tell
you in Genesis that Abraham obeyed God and it was

(06:26):
accounted to him for righteousness. Why, because he believed God
to obey, For God told him to do and get
this God. It wasn't that God was speaking to any
other people. It was a lot of people following Abraham,
his nephew Lot, and his wife Sarah and others that

(06:49):
were following him. But God was speaking to Abraham, and
Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
That did he get everything ain't right, No, but he
believed God and followed the voice of God as he
led him into the wider The Bible says, he left
his family that was in the US, the nation or

(07:15):
the where he lived, that where his family was familiar with,
and he went into the wilderness led by God, pretty
much like Jesus. When the Holy God descended upon him
as of a dove. The Bible says, the Holy Spirit
led him straightway into the wilderness to be tempted of

(07:38):
the devil. So as we those that are in Christ,
God will allow what you are learning to be tried
by life circumstances. By life circumstances. God doesn't just want
us to be protected to our for our bodies to
be protected God, but God wants our integrity and our

(08:09):
liberty to be protected as well. He wants our integrity
when He puts in us the word that is able
to reconcile us back to him, He wants to want
to protect you, to protect that. He wants to help

(08:30):
you to protect the liberty now that you have through
Christ Jesus. When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord
and savior. The Bible says if you confess with your
mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that
God raised them the dead, doubt shalt be saved. When
you are delivered from the bondage of sin, God wants

(08:53):
to protect you while you're in that liberty. Hallelujah. Galatians
five team, which we quote every Sunday, it says this,
for brothren, you have been called unto liberty. Hallelujah. You
have been calling to liberty. What does that mean? You're
free from seining the bondies of sining fear, hallelujah. Only

(09:18):
use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but
by love, sir one another. So don't let and many
of us don't know what we're afraid of. We don't
know what we're afraid of. And to deny that you
have fear in you is a big mistake, hallelujah, because

(09:43):
fear has torment an. I'm gonna ask a question. I
want you to answer this to yourselves. Any of you
feel tormented in your mind and your spirit and your
body with disease or anything, like you're going through something
and continuously and you're being tormented by well, the foundation

(10:05):
of the author of that thing is fear. For fear
has torment. Phil has torment word to God. But don't
use your liberty to fulfill the loss or your flesh.
So you need to be give yourself to God. Romans

(10:26):
ten enormous twelve one and two said Paul says, I
beseech you. I beg you, brother, by the mercies of God,
that you present your bodies to God, a living sacrifice,
holy acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service word
to God. Now look what else he says too, before

(10:47):
he tells them that in Romans twelve he goes back
in Romans chapter seven, and he had to go through
this process himself. He had to find out what was
going on with him row with God. And in chapter
seven of Romans he finds this out. After he gets

(11:08):
to going through the law. In fourteen, he says, for
we know that the law is spiritual. He states to
the Romans, I know that the law is spiritual, But
I am carnal sold under sind What is he saying?
But I am carnal? So he said, I'm trying to

(11:31):
operate the will of God with a natural mind, with
a natural mind, with the mind of men who are
being governed with my emotions and my feelings. The Law
exposes the law of God. The ten Commandment exposes what

(11:51):
is sin. And that's why it's imperative that we received
the baptism of the Holy Ghost. That's why it's imperative
that we still to show ourselves a proof unto God.
Why so we can know what is saying in us?
What are we doing that is wrong? What are we
thinking that is wrong? Why isn't our behavior like that
of Christ? Glory to God, hallelujah. The Law comes to

(12:17):
reveal that to us. Verse fifteen in that same chapter
says this, for that which I do, I allow not.
Now he's showing you that, he's telling us the conflict
that he's running into. For the thing that I do,
I don't allow for what I would that do? I not?

(12:41):
The thing that I want to do, I don't do it.
But what I hate, that's what I end up doing.
Anybody felt like that before, hallelujah? You know you didn't
want to act that way, but you end up acting
that way anyway. You know you didn't want to say that,
but you end up saying that anyway. Reflected upon it,

(13:01):
you know you didn't want to feel like that, but
you feel like that anyway. So Paul wanted to know
what's going on with me. Hallelujah. And then he further
found out that in fifteen sixteen he said, if then
I do that which I would not, he didn't agree
with it. So if I'm doing the thing that I

(13:23):
don't want to do, I consent that the law that
it is good. In other words, I wouldn't have known
that this was wrong except I read the law. In
other words, you who are buying homes or getting cars,
or writing contracts with others, you wouldn't know what you
can do or what can't do unless you read the contract.

(13:49):
Same is with the word of God. You don't know
what's permissible with God and what is not permissible unless
you read your word. Hallelujah. Now this is another thing
that a lot of believers are unbelievers don't know. You
can read the Bible, but the understanding of it comes

(14:11):
through the Holy Spirit being in you. You can read
the Word and not understanding hallelujah. But you need the baptism,
but the Holy gooes to understand it. Glory to God.
Now look at the listener verse seventeen. He said, Now
then it is no more I that do it. Paul

(14:35):
finds out, wait a minute, the thing that I don't
want to do, it's being done without my consent. But
saying that Dwelleth in me, my God from glory, he
found that there was another law operating in his members
that is taking control over him. Remember that fourteen said

(14:59):
you are soul, understand, hallelujah, because you didn't know the
error of your ways. Hallelujah. The sin that was that
you had in you was selling you to a devil's hell.
Condemning you to a devil's hell. Go with the God.
You don't have to believe it, but it's true anyway,
and I hope you do believe it. You find it

(15:20):
out for yourself. Now listen to this. But seeing that
dwells in me eighteen for I know that in me,
Paul says, that's in my flesh, hallelujah. In the way
I think, in the way I behave, in my emotions,
in my feelings, dwelleth no good thing. What is he saying,

(15:46):
he said, apart from the spirit of truth, apart from God.
I'm gonna feel it like God said, He said, your
righteousness is as filthy rags. You can go to do
right all you want to do. You can feed the pool,
you can clothe those that are naked. You can give

(16:07):
a buycar from somebody. You can give people money to
help me in their distress. But if you don't do
it in the will of God. Being lad of the spirit, hallelujah,
is like filthy rags, hallelujah. Except God build the builder building.

(16:28):
The builder builds it in vain, except God builds you
up your building in vain. You're doing it for the
wrong reasons. You're doing it because you want to be
lifted up. You're doing it for selfless reasons. That's why
it's filthy rats. Hallelujah. For to will is present with me.

(16:50):
Paul says, I want to do what's right is with me.
But how to perform that which is good I find not.
He looked all through his members and he could not
find how to do that which was right in God's eyes.
Because you got to understand something. Paul loved God, even

(17:13):
though before his name was Paul, he was called Saul.
He loved God, but he was loving God in the
wrong way, with the wrong motive. Hallelujah. That's why he
was persecuting the Christians. He thought he was doing the
will of God, and he found out he wasn't. Hallelujah,

(17:35):
I want you all to go further with me on down,
going down, going down, halleljo skip a couple of verses.
Now look what he says after he finds out all
this about the verse twenty four, in twenty five, he said,
old wretched man that I am. Once he finds out
by the law that he is, that he is out

(17:57):
of the will of God and he can't do what's
right because there's something inside of him that's hindering him.
He said, old wretched man, that I am. Who shall
deliver me from this body of death? Hallelujah? Who should
deliver me from this body of death? And then if

(18:19):
because now he's awakened to what sin is doing to him,
he said in verse twenty five, I thank God through
Jesus Christ, our Lord. So then with the mind I
myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh
the law of sin. So he recognizes that there are

(18:40):
two laws that are working in him, contradictory one to another. Hallelujah.
Now I'm aware that sin is taking me to a
devil's hell. How to do that which is right? Hallelujah, God.
I'm believing that you're gonna bring me to the knowledge
of it now that I know it exists. But my
body's still acting up. I'm still doing those themes that

(19:04):
are wrong. I still got bad habits. I'm still having
urgent to smoke cigarettes. I'm still having urges to gamble.
I'm still having urgers to be a whole mother. I'm
still having urgers to do those things that are wrong.
But I know through Christ Jesus, that is wrong. Hallelujah.

(19:25):
Now jump over the verse to chapter eight. Jump over
to chapter eight first, just the first two verses. Paul
has an interesting experience with himself. Once he comes into
the knowledge of the truth, he's converted. Halleujah. A self
awareness of yourself is what we all need. Instead of

(19:48):
looking at somebody else, examine yourself in the mirror, in
the mirror of this word. Allow this word to be
a lamping to your feet and a light unto your path. Literally,
and that's why that you will better serve your neighbor
or your friend on whoever, by lining yourself up with

(20:12):
the will of God. Look at here verse one and
two of Romans eight. There is therefore now no condemnation
to them which are in Christ Jesus, to them which
are in Christ Jesus, the anointing word of God, who
walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. Now

(20:36):
Paul is finding out there is a law that will
enable me to be bring my flesh under control, so
I can do the things that I didn't used to do,
and I can stop doing the things that are wrong.
He said that. Now verse two, it says this, but

(21:01):
after the spirit for the law. Now get this, For
the law of the Spirit of life is a law.
The law of God exposes sin to you, the things
that I should not be doing and things that I

(21:22):
should be doing. Now through Christ Jesus, listen to this,
for the law of the Spirit of life, in Christ
Jesus has made me free from the law of sin
and death. What do we referring to Jesus came in

(21:43):
the likeness of sinful flesh and became sin. He didn't
do any sin. Come on, now, he didn't do any sin.
But because he looks like sin, sin didn't have a
problem putting his hands on it. Hallelujah. They accused him

(22:03):
of being a sinner. They took him from court to court,
and he did no wrong. But yet because he looked
like us, he bored he took it. And the Bible
says he didn't say a word of mumbling word hallelujah.

(22:24):
So he was crucified for the things that we do.
He didn't do. He took our punishment upon him for
the things that we do. The Bible says in Isaiah,
he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for iniquities,

(22:49):
and the chest title of our peace was laid upon him.
And then he had the audacity and had the love
for us from the Father, the love for us while
he was on the cross, to say, Father, forgive them,

(23:10):
for they know not what they do. Listen what he said,
they know not what they do. Now, through the scripture
which he is written of in the volume of the book,
now has come to light what we did wrong, what
we do wrong on a day to daily basis. Hallelujah.

(23:37):
And God is asking us to take this revelation of knowledge,
that is, through Christ Jesus, we can be freed from
the law of sin and death. Hallelujah. And all you
have to do is believe and receive Jesus Christ as
your We talk about divine protection. Receive Jesus Christ as

(24:00):
your Lord and Savior into your heart. Glory to God.
In verse two, he says, for the law of the
spirit of life that is in Christ, Jesus has made
me free from the law of sin and death. If
you had not known the law, you never would have
known that it was sin that was taking you to
a devil's hell. But now that you know that it

(24:23):
is sin, because you study the word of God, you
don't forsake to assemble yourself with others. Glory to God. Hallelujah.
The spirit of truth guide you into truth. He teaches
you all things of God. He brings to you, remembers
those things that Jesus has said. Hallelujah. Now you equipped, Hallelujah.

(24:45):
I believe it. Second Timothy three sixteen. He says, all
scripture is good, hallelujah, and it equips you for every
good word. Now you equipped, Hallelujah to say no to sin.
We talking about walking in divine protection and protecting your integrity,
protecting the liberty that God gives you. Glory to God,

(25:09):
and not using it to do what you want to do.
A famous scripture that we always read is in Psalms
ninety one. It says this, I'm just gonna read a
couple of verses of him. He said, he that dwelleth
in the secret place of the most Time, shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of

(25:29):
the Lord, he is my refuge, my God. In him,
will I trust. Surely he shall deliver me from the
snare of the fowler and from the newsome pestilence. He
shall covety with his feathers, and under his wings. Shalt

(25:49):
thou trust His truth shall be thy shield and butler. Hallelujah.
So when you walk in the will of God, God,
not fulfilling your lust of your flesh. In the knowledge
of God, you said, Okay, God, I've said to this,

(26:10):
I've done this wrong. I need your help. The greater
One lives in me. I need your help to do
that which is right in your eyes. I need the strength. Hallelujah.
The Bible tells us day that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength. What he's saying. He said, those
that find themselves in the duties of God, in the

(26:33):
servitude of God, will gain strength as they go. You
don't get strong hallelujah, physically by not picking up weights.
You got to lift some weights and you got to
keep adding to them so you can get stronger in
the Lord. It's the same way with the spiritual strength
in your spirit. Man, you gotta keep on exercising the

(26:55):
will of God. You gotta keep on pressing to the
mark of the high calling, which is in Christ Jesus.
You got to allow the Holy Spirit to lead and
guide you into the desert to be tempted of the devil. Hallelujah,
so you can get stronger and stronger, so when the
day comes, hallelujah, you can say no more devil. Will

(27:17):
I do that with you? You're trying to coerce me
to do. Through my feelings and my emotions, I waited
upon the Lord. Hallelujah. I will seek his counsel in
all my ways. I acknowledge him so he can direct
my past. He will give me the wisdom and of
the knowledge and how to perform the will of God
in this present day. Hallelujah. Glory to God, Hallelujah. Now

(27:41):
look at this. Matthew had a similar experience. Matthew had
a similar experience, hallelujah. He wrote about it in chapter five, hallelujah.
Now this is a show of love. God said his
only mis in the likeness of simple flesh, sinful flesh,

(28:03):
and he presented his love to us, and that he
died for us. He showed us, and he died for us,
and we can go and do likewise. We have this
ability I'm talking about walking in divine protection. Hallelujah. This
is how you do it. God will protect you. Why,

(28:26):
because you are His, You are bought with a price, hallelujah.
You don't belong to yourself anymore. Look at chapter five,
verse forty three through forty eight. He says this. You
have heard that I had been said, that it had
been said, doubts shall love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy.

(28:48):
Uh oh, that's old Testament, right. But look what he says.
Jesus come and says, and Matthew wrote about it. He said,
but I say unto you. This is all in red
Jesus speaking. But I say unto you, love your name,
love your enemies. He just didn't say your neighbors, love

(29:10):
your enemies, bless them that curse you do good to
them that hate you pray for them that despitefully use
you and persecute you. Come on now, this is unheard
of in our society, with our regularly our call on mind,
and our regular behavior. Who goes and love that enemy? Huh?

(29:35):
Who blesses those who curse you? Somebody curse you and
you bless them? That's unheard of in today's society. Who
does good to people who hate them? Come on now,
who prays for them who despitefully who intentionally use you,
go over to God, hallelujah, and then persecute you, Lord Glorver, hallelujah.

(30:00):
That's forty five. Says this that you may be the
children of your father, which is in heaven, for He
maketh the sun to rise on the evil. See God
just not concerned about you. There's a scripture that says
he will make your enemy be at peace with you.
You can go into a dark place and start out,

(30:21):
and everybody be against you, and then God will make
them to be at peace with you. Why because they
see something in you, They see the peace of God
in you, and they want it. Why because they in torment.
They are in torment and they want peace. That's why

(30:42):
your children and your children's children when they don't find
love in their home. They when you won't take the
time to talk to them, and you shove an MP
three or a game boy in their face, and instead
of conversation, hallelujah, instead of your testimonies. He said, if
I can't find they'll say, if I can't find love

(31:04):
at home, I'll find in someplace else. And they go
to the streets and they find young men and young
women that they cast out into the streets and they
find love that I'll listen to you, hallelujah. You know
what the Lord told me one day? He said, many
saints are in the Old Testament, there were many tribes,

(31:28):
and none of them was one of them that they
would sacrifice their children. And he said that has become
something common in today's society, sacrificing our children. I know
you don't want to hear this, but you're gonna hear
it anyway. He said, we've been sacrificing our children. He said,

(31:49):
I told you to train your child up in the
way they should go, and when they get older, I
wouldn't depart from I told you when you wake up
in the morning to talk to them about me. You
go and talk to him about you. You go tell
them what you want them to hear. He said that
I told you, when you sit at the table and
tell them about me, give him my Testamenty, you sit

(32:10):
at the table and you won't see a word to them.
You fuss at them, he said. And when he said,
when you walk in the way, when y'all going someplace,
you don't say nothing about me. You talk about the sports,
you talk about everything else, and you and your spouse
are sitting there arguing about what's going on. You don't
talk about me, he said. When you lie down at night,
sit at the table with them, you don't talk about me.

(32:32):
You're mad at each other because of this and that
that's what you talk about, he said. You've done none
of that. And then you pray to me to save them.
And when the power is in your hand and you rejected, hallelujah,
he said, you reject it. And then when they don't

(32:55):
want to go with you the church, you leave them
at home by themselves with the game boy, and you
wonder why they are like they are. Hallelujah. You leave
them at home, hallelujah, and you don't take them with you, Hallelujah.
And you leave them to themselves. The Bible says a
child left to himself will find his own way. Hallelujah.

(33:17):
You've left them to themselves, and you left them to
the beasts that are out there in the world, the
beasts of the field that ravaged them and devour them.
And then you want to come to me and ask
me to save them, and you won't do your part.
But guess what God is faithful. God remains faithful even

(33:38):
when we're not. Hallelujah. Don't tell me we don't sacrifice
our children to devils. Hallelujah. When we don't do when
we don't do what God told us to do, hallelujah.
He said, by the word I frame the world. Don't
you know you have the ability through the spoken word

(33:58):
of God, not your veteric, not your not your your conversation,
but the word of God. When you repeat it into them,
you have the power to form the worlds and their minds.
Have that you have that authority given to you by
Christ sees your words becomes law when you speak to him.

(34:20):
He said, you have what you say. Hallelujah. I got
a spiritual daughter that says this all the time. He said,
when you get what you get. Don't put your fit.
It came out of your mouth, out of your disobedience. Hallelujah,

(34:41):
he said, he said, the rain, hallelujah. The evil. He
maketh the sun to rise upon the evil and good,
and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust. He's
the same to everybody under the sun. He gives air
to those to adjust and unjust. He gives rain to

(35:02):
the just and the unjust. Hallowen listening to what he's saying.
For if you love them that love you, what reward
have you do? Not? Even in Republicans the same What
is that motive for loving? They love so they can
get back. I'm giving you this, but I expect you

(35:23):
to give back to me. Hallelujah. We actor. He's talking
about mannerism, he's talking about behavior. Remember what Paul said.
I can't do that which is right, so I ended
up doing that which is wrong because I don't find
within me how to do it. Now, Matthew, God is

(35:45):
telling Jesus is telling us in Matthew, how to do
that which is right through love. Don't worry about who
it is your enemy, on your neighbor, do right and
let your and let your righteousness be of God and
not of you obedient. And if you salute your brothern

(36:08):
only what do you more than others? Do not even
in Republicans do so be there for perfect, even as
your Father, which is in Heaven, is perfect. I told
you we struggle at being perfect. So do right in

(36:28):
a struggle to be perfect, do that which is righteous,
obeying every word that comes out of the mouth of
God that's righteous. Do not let your feelings and your
emotions dictate to you how you behave glory to God.
Were talking about, were talking about walking in God's divine protection. Hallelujah.

(36:55):
Dude Ramed twenty eight says this around this long time ago,
these are blessed he gave before the children. It went
over the Jordan, after they come through the Red Seat,
after they had stayed in the wilderness for all this time, hallelujah,
and been rejected from going over the Jordan because they

(37:18):
yet again were in unbelief, and only Caleb and Joshua,
the one that would believe. I despise that went over.
They had to go back out again, and he all
of them died. Under the age. I believe it's something
under the age of twenty one twenty one and under lived,

(37:40):
and he brought back a new nation, and they believed
they were able to go over. But he told Joshua this,
But he told the children. Moses told the children of this.
He told it to Joshua Robert, verse twenty eight, Chapter
twenty eight, Verses one and two. And it shall come
to pass. I hope somebody get this, and it shall

(38:03):
come to pass if you shall hearken diligently, get that word, diligently,
be strategic, be purposeful. And again, if you shall hearken
diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe,

(38:23):
you have to look at it, to observe, and to
do all his commandments, which I command THEE this date, hallelujah.
Not the Lord, not man, not the government, not your president,
not your buddy, not your husband, not your wife, not
your boss, but the Lord thy God. Shall set THEE

(38:47):
on high above all nations. Colon. Now you're getting ready
to explain what he's talking about verse two. And all
these blessings shall come on THEE and overtake THEE. If
thou shef hearken unto the voice of the Lord, that

(39:08):
God Now the rest of that chapter is given to
naming the different blessings. Hallelujah, that will come up on you.
And further on down about the middle of it, if
they start giving the curses, that will come up on you.
If you don't hearken unto the voice of the Lord, hallelujah.
Now excuse me. God's word is solevn it is true.

(39:32):
It's settling in heaven and in earth. Whether you believe
it or not, it's gonna come to pass. So if
you disobey God he already talked about Matthew talked about
the just and the unjust. It don't make no difference.
If you unjust and you disobey God, that's what you're
gonna get. If you just and you disobey God, that's
what you're gonna get. Come on, somebody. But if you

(39:57):
are just, there's a reward waiting for you. But you
got to be just. You got to be justified by
God through Christ Jesus. You need to receive Jesus Christ
as your Lord and savior so you can walk in
this divine protection and learn to walk in love. Don't
receive him and just lay down on your on your

(40:19):
liberty or on your your anointing or your reward. Once
you receive Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, act
up on the liberty that God has given you. Get knowledge,
get understanding, make it your purpose, because in getting knowledge

(40:40):
and understanding, you will be protected and you will what
he said. He will make you to rise above nations,
not for your good, but so he can get so
He can not just to bless you so you can
be blessed, but you will be blessed, to be a blessing.
Hallelujah to others, Glory to God. And I want to

(41:01):
give this last scripture. James said this one and twenty two.
But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only,
deceiving yourselves. But be ye doers of the word, not
hearers only. If your hears only and not doing the word,

(41:24):
you're deceiving yourself. You are deceiving yourself, and the devil
don't have to put it in the road blocks in
front of you. You're doing a good job of it yourself.
You're doing a good job of it yourself because you
willingly keep the blinders on your own eyes. Were talking

(41:46):
about walking in diff How many of you want to
divine protection. This simply means that you're you're protected from
things that don't need to come your way. Some of
us received things in our in our lives that don't
need to be He don't want to put more on

(42:09):
you than you can handle. But God has a special
design for you in life, a purpose for your life,
and it's to do good to you, and it brings
forth and expected in into your life. Glory to God.

(42:30):
Dif ie protection. It's more than just knowing Jesus, but
it's walking by the spirit in the will of God.
Who knows the better the will of God than the
spirit of God, the spirit of truth. Stop being afraid

(42:51):
and stop saying that you don't have fear when you do.
If you don't walk in the will of God, you're
dealing with fear and you just don't know it. You
don't recognize it, you don't want to recognize it. If
you tore amnute in anything in your life, you got fear.
Let's pray, Father, it is in the name of Jesus

(43:15):
that we come to you. Your word is true. It's
settling heaven and in earth. Lord, as I examine myself
with your word, by your spirit, I don't examine myself
by myself, so I can deceive myself. Lord, let your
light shine on these your people, all who would hear

(43:36):
and give the people are ear to hear, because we
can't do it without you. Help us to put that
magnifying on ourselves, on our own hearts, so there would
be no God be found in us, nothing corrupt, and
nothing unrighteous be found in our hearts. So in that day,

(43:56):
when you come to get us, you can say, well done,
my good and faith, and we won't have an excuse.
Try to give you an excuse as to why we
come short of the glory of God. When you've provided
for us a way of escapement. Father, we do thank
you and give you praise in the Jesus' name. We

(44:17):
do praise now those of you who don't know Jesus
or don't know if you know Jesus in a manner
that we're talking about right here. It's more to it
than just receiving him. You have to learn how to
walk in the spirit. You don't just come and say
Jesus coming to my heart and be my lord and
save and sit down on it. Now. You need to

(44:37):
receive power, power from up on high. So you can
live the life. And it's a learning process. And as
I shared with the class this morning, it's like going
from preschool to twelfth grade and then the college. You
have to learn as you go. You have to learn
as you go, like Israel did as they went into
the willers. They learned as they went, and some of

(44:59):
them died off as they went, the one that would
not receive, the one that kept on rejecting God. They
died off as they went. Read your Bible, Glory to God, hallelujah.
But it's not God's will that any should perish, but
that all that's his will that all should come to repentance. Unfortunately,

(45:21):
all will not because that's the person's choice and that disobedience.
Those of you who want to receive Jesus Christ as
your Lord and savior, repeat after me on today, Father,
forgive me. I have sin. They come short of your glory.

(45:42):
I believe that Jesus Christ is your son, Father. 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 hot apacal shaping the spirit of
life that is in Christ, will raise me up from
dead work will cause me to be triumphant in doing

(46:03):
that which is right in your eyes and not according
to my own will. Being led of the spirit and
not of the flesh. I thank you, and I give
you praise in Jesus name. Amen, if you praise that prayer.
The Bible says, if you confess with your mouth the
Lord Jesus Christ, and believe in your heart that God
has raised it from the dead, doubts shall be saved.

(46:25):
See it's not over yet. Hallelujah. The Bible says, you
will hear wards the rumors of wards you said, and
don't be deceived by a scripture or a spirit or
any of those things. He said. The end is not yet.
That has to be first or great falling away, and
then the lawless one bit will be revealed. Hallelujah. Then

(46:45):
the end, hallelujah. So we got time. You got time.
But you need to confess Jesus Christ and your Lord
and Savior. And I'm sure this with you too. You
need to get into a church that is spirit felled,
that will teach you the will of the Word of God,
and you can be baptized in the spirit of God
so you can receive power to be a witness. UH.
