in us, Father, that just word would go forth and
do what you have accomplished it to do. And Jesus
name be pray, Thank God, Amen, Amen, Okay again the
message knight is free but still shackled.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Galatians five one.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
The NIV version says it is for freedom that Christ
has set us free. Stand firm then, and do not
let yourselves be burned again by a yoke of slavery,
free but still shackles. You see, the scripture lets.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Us know that we have a choice.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You can either live like, act like, walk like you
believe the word of God and truly have been set free.
Or you can be captive to the enemy and continue
to be bound by his lives and remain in a
paralyzed position.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
You do have a choice, because.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
The scripture here says, do not let yourselves be burdened
again by a yoke of slavery. Stand firm, then, and
do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke
of slavery, free but still shackled.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Imagine this.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Imagine if you will. You've been in prison for a
long time. Finally someone comes up to you and say
you're free to go. They take those old prison rags
that you've been wearing for quite some time, and they
give you a fresh set of clothing. They then take
you to the gate that opens to the world. You
look out, but you don't go through that gate. You
(08:46):
stand there gazing, paralyzed by the thoughts and actions of
the past. They tell you again, hey, look, you're free
to go, but there you remain frozen to that place,
refusal to accept the fact that you are free, refusing
to accept the fact that it's just that easy. You
(09:07):
can walk through that gate and have a brand new
life waiting for you. Yet you stand there, frozen, refusing
to accept the fact that you are free. Indeed, there
are no longer bars set parading you from freedom, there
are no longer restrictions to what you can do, where
you can go. But yet something within is preventing you
(09:28):
from moving forward. Something within is preventing you from forgetting
about your past and moving forward forward with great expectations.
Something from within you is causing you to wrestle with
two opinions. Something within you is causing you to be
weighed down with all those shackles. Something within its causing
(09:52):
you to miss the many blessings that God has in
store for you. Something from within. You're free, but you're
still shackled by the thoughts that rage within your own mind.
You're free, but you're still shackled, not fully understanding that
he who just loves set free is free. Indeed, this
(10:14):
scripture there excuse the Galationians five to one. It is
for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then,
and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a
yoke of slavery. You are free, but you're still shackled,
and your mind won't allow you to stand firm and
(10:36):
not be burdened. That's not be entangled again by a
yoke of bondage. What is that one thing that is
keeping you from walking in your freedom? What is that
one thing that you are allowed to hold you back
from being all that God wants you to be? What
is that one thing that you are allowed to keep
you in bondage? Before we answer that, let's pause for
(10:57):
a minute. You see, you are spirit, You have a soul,
and you live in a body. You are a spirit,
you have a soul and you live in a body.
For those who of us who have accepted Jesus Christ
as our savior, our soul Christ, I thank you Lord,
our soul has been redeemed and wants to glorify and
(11:19):
praise God for sectin chances. But we all will admit
that our thoughts won't always line up with what's good.
Our thoughts aren't always pleasing to God. Our thoughts aren't
always pleasing even to ourselves. For on our Christian Journey
Scripture lets us know that we need to renew our
minds daily.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Your mind.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You need to renew your mind daily, and be careful
what you allow to be planted in the garden of
your mind. Roma's twelve two says, be not conformed to
this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind,
that by testing you may deserve what is the will
(12:00):
of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Don't
stand there at that gate to freedom and watch the
world pass you by while you let the old.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Man linger and strangle you.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Don't stand there at that gate and allow all those
spiderwhebs to clutter your mind and paralyze you. Don't stand
there at that gate to freedom when Christ has a
deed set you free and allow all those negative thoughts
to take root in the.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Garden of your mind.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Don't you stand there at that gate to freedom and
allow those negative thoughts to take root. There you yourself
begin to nourish and cultivate those thoughts, with negative words
coming out.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Of your mouth.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Free but still shackled. How do you shake all those shackles?
How do you stand up in your God given image
and say enough is enough? How do you stand firm
on the word of God and not let yourselves be
spurredened again by a yoke of slavery. How do you
let go go to past and move forward in victory?
(13:03):
How do you, my brother, be free with no shackles?
Speaker 5 (13:07):
There are two.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Absolute things you must do on a daily basis, and
this would be the focus of our lesson this evening.
Two absolute things. Number one, you must renew your mind.
You must renew your mind. And two you must speak
all the positive things. You must let go of all
the negative, defeating words that try to slip in underwear.
These two things you must do if you are to
(13:30):
be truly free of the shackles that continually weigh you down.
So let's talk about renewing your mind. Renewing your mind
on a daily basis. What does it mean to renew?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
It mays to refresh, to refresh.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Ephesians four twenty two through twenty four. Phase that you
put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which
is corrupt according to the deceitful lust, and be renewed
in the spirit of your mind, and that you put
on a new man, which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
You see, you need to.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Meditate on God's word and you need to allow it
to take root in.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
The garden of your mind.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Do you struggle with bitterness, anxiety, depression, or other emotional pain.
You need to meditate on scripture, truth more and more
and renew your mind and the hope of Jesus Christ.
Renewing your mind, let's focus on Ehippitius four Eighthess fIF
Philippius four eight really tells us about what things we
(14:32):
should think of. Philipping four a says, whatsoever is true,
whatsoever it's noble, whatsoever is right, whatsoever is pure, whatsoever
is lovely, whatsoever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy,
Think on these things. So instead of thinking on the negatives,
(14:56):
false things, think of what's true, Think of what's pleasure,
Think on all those good and pleasant gifts.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
That come from God.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You see, you must renew your mind on a daily basis.
You must take on the mind of Christ. Now, this
doesn't happen overnight, but it can't happen when you begin
to study and meditate on God's word. So here's a question,
how can I know the mind of Christ by meditating
First Corinthians two twelve says, Now we have received not
(15:27):
the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is
of God, that we might know the things that are
free to given to us of God.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Thirteen. What things also we speak.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which
the Holy Ghost teachers. Comparing spirits of things with spiritual
the fourteenth verse says, but the natural man receives nothing
natural things of the receive nothing things of the Spirit
of God, for they are foolishness unto him. Neither can
he know them, because they are spiritually deserved.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Fifteen.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
But he that is spiritual judges all things. Yet he
himself is judges of no man. Sixteen For who has
known the mind of the Lord? Here we are right here,
for who has known the mind of the Lord that
he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Talking about this new man, we have the mind of Christ.
(16:25):
Meditate on God's words. Psalms one nineteen eleven says that
the word of God hid in your heart. Let the
word of God be hidden in your heart, so that
you do not sin against him. Psalms the first of
chapter of Psalms. In the first the third verse says,
bless Us is the man who walks not in the
counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the sway of sinners,
(16:49):
nor sits in the sea of skuffers. But his delight
is in the law of the Lord, and on his
law he meditates day and night. He is like a
tree planted by streams of water that yields is fruit
in its season, and its leaf does not wither. At
all that he does, he prospers. I want you to
(17:11):
think about that before we go out.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Think about that for a minute.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel
of the wicked. He's like a tree planted by streams
of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and
its leaf does not wither. And all that he does
he prospers. Stand still like a tree planted by the
streams of water, and don't bulge. When negative thoughts comes
to your mind, cast them down. Second CORENTHRO is ten
(17:40):
to four, and the NIV version says, the weapons we
fight with are not the weapons of the world. On
the contrary, they are divine power. To demolish strongholds. We
demolish arguments in every pretension that sets itself up against
the knowledge of God. And we take captive every thought
(18:03):
to make it obedient to Christ. The scripture lets us
know that you can take captive every negative thought, you
can cast it down.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
So how do you renew your mind?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
By casting then everything that does not come from God?
How do you know if it's not coming from God?
By according to Glatians the fifth chapter and the twenty
second verse, anything that goes contrary to the fruit of his.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Spirit does not come from God.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
The fruit of his spirit love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
All those good things come from God.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
If anything and the thoughts comes to your mind and
they go against the food of His Spirit, you can
trust the word of God. It does not come from God.
Anything that is not wrapped up in one of these
fruits of his.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Spirit is sin.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Therefore, if you are to be free from any shackles,
you must be knew your mind daily by casting down
anything that is contrary to the few of His Spirit.
If the thoughts enter your mind are not loved, ask yourself,
is this hate? Is this connected to hatred? They cast
it down. If the thoughts enter your mind are not joyful,
(19:19):
ask yourself, it's this sadness. It's this sadness, cast it down.
If the thoughts entering your mind are not peaceful, and
you know Jesus it is the Prince of peace, ask yourself,
is this something that's trouble making? It's this trouble confusion.
And if they're against peace, then cast it down. If
(19:39):
the thoughts entering your mind are not long suffering, which
is patience, ask yourself, is this causing me to be
tric temple crick through anger? They cast it down. If
the thoughts entering your mind are not gentle, ask yourself,
is this harshness against someone?
Speaker 5 (19:58):
They cast it down.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
So forth and so on. Cast down any imagination that
exalts itself against the Word and the knowledge of God.
In other words, refuse to give in to negative thoughts,
thoughts that are not based on the fruit of His spirit.
Remember second tempathy one seven says God has not given
you the spirit of fear, but of love and of
(20:23):
power and of a sound mind. So if fear attempts
to enter your thoughts, instead of giving in to it,
allow His word to replace it. Know that He is
the Press of peace. Words like I can do all
things through Christ, which gives me strength. What does it
mean to meditate on the word of God? It means
to study his word. Don't just read it, study pray
(20:47):
and ask God how you should apply it to a
particular situation. Trust him, Listen closely to what he has
to say. Get to learn God's voice. Get to learn
his voice through his precious Holy Spirit. You see, God
has given us his wonderful spirit to guide us and
to comfort us, to protect us. He stands ready to
help you. Call upon his help today, free but still shackles.
(21:12):
Are you allowing negative words to keep you in bondage?
Are you allowing negative words to keep you in shackles?
Are you hung by your own tongue? Stop speaking those
negative words. What truly matters When it's all said and done,
m get this, when the dust settles, when the rubber
makes the road, when the curtains poured back, when all
(21:33):
the results are in, Only speak the words for in
the final analysis and the final episode and the moment
of truth, and God says you shall live and not die,
then that's it. Believe it not because I said it,
Believe it because He said it. Just know that God
loves you, and he say he would never ever leave you.
He knows your future, and he cares about every aspect
(21:55):
of your life. He knows you when you wake up
in the morning. He knows who you when you start
off in your He knows you at the sun side
of your day. He knows you when you lay your
head down to night. He knows the thoughts you have
before you go to sleep. He knows you even while
you are slumber and sleeping. God knows you. He knows
when you wake up in the middle of the night.
He knows and sees that tear, that trick is down
your face. He can wipe away every tear from your face.
(22:18):
He and he alone can comfort you like nobody else care.
Jesus hallelujah. You see, sometimes you need to get up,
shake yourself and clear all those cobwebs from your head.
Then sell on yourself once and for all, plant your
feet firmanent on a solid foundation, and declare to yourself first,
(22:38):
and then declare to all.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
To anyone who would come into your presence.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I must only speak the word, for the word comes
to me to give me liberty. I will not receive
any negative ism from you. Free but still shackled. Are
you allowing your own word to be a stumbling block
to you being shackled? Free, free, but still shackled. Are
the words coming out of your mouth paralyzing you? Free
(23:03):
but still shackles? Are your own words giving you life
or giving you death? For all the negative things you
have to say, guess what, God has a positive word
that you need to say to replace those negative Those
negative words statements like I'm always worried on first rate
God says m M. You don't have to be. To
cast your cares upon me, says Jesus first Peter five seven.
(23:27):
Cast all your cares upon Jesus, for he cares for you.
What happens when you weared your mind takes you all
over the place. What does it mean to cast your
cares upon the Lord? It means to live a life
free of weary gnawing, trusting and believing that he who
promised is well able to perform, that he who promise
(23:50):
has not forgotten you, That he who promised is very
qualified to fulfill his promises, that he who promise is
yet faithful. If I wear it, he's well able to
handle inner situation. Why allow frustrations to bother your mind,
he's well able to mind your business. When you say
I'm always wear it and frustrated. When you allow those
(24:12):
words to come out of your mouth, regardless of whether
you realize it or not, you're telling God that you
don't believe he can do what he's promised he can do.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
MM.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
There's something in this. When you say I've always wear
it and frustrated. What you're really saying is I really
don't believe it's that simple. I really don't believe that
I can cast my cares upon Jesus and forget about it.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
MM.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
You see when he says cast your cares upon him,
for he cares for you. He's saying, I know what
you need, I know how you're feeling. I know what
I have in store for you. So you go along.
Now mind your business. That is obeying my word and
trust me to mind your business.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
I got this, says God. I got this.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
You say I'm always wearing and frustrated. Yeay, I know
he took care of that last situation, that last problem,
that last relationship, But I still can't seem to figure
it out. Why am I always so frustrated? Why am
I always so wared. This is the answer because you
refuse to accept. You refuse this knowledge, and you'll refuse
to lie God to be Lord in your life. Free
(25:20):
but still shackles. You see, you have the faith, for
He's given each of us a measure of faith. You
have everything you need as a Christian to be victorious.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
But still you wary. You're weary because.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
You aren't activating the faith that He's already given you.
And how does that make our Lord feel that you
simply don't trust him? Free but still shackles only speak
the words?
Speaker 5 (25:43):
How many know that the word tells.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Us the light and death are in the power of
your tongue Proverbs eighteen and twenty one. Death and life
are in the power of the tongue. And they that
love is shy eat the fewth thereof. Do you want
to be rid of those shackles once and for all.
Stop meditating on his word day or night night, and
(26:06):
replace every negative word with a word that comes from God.
Duda Rami thirties, chapter the nineteenth verse says, I call
heaven and earth to record this day against you that
I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore,
choose life that both thou and thy seed may live.
Do you want to get rid of those shackles once
(26:28):
and for all. Choose life over death. Choose blessings over curses.
Stop speaking your own defeat. Start meditating on God's word
day and night. Replace every negative word with a word.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
From the Lord.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Free but stilling shackles. It's your spiritual growth hindered by
the very words that you speak come with may just
depend on His word and speak the word.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Stop speaking defeat. Stop speaking defeat.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
When you are going through trials and tribulations and you
feel all hope is gone, something may occur come to
your mind to remind you about what God said about
that situation. But then you think to yourself, that doesn't
make sense. Stop relying on your senses. I tell you.
For example, you may be facing a financial crisis and
your beers are due. The Word of God tells you
(27:17):
the trust and the Lord with all your heart and
lean not to your own understanding. Then you say, well,
that sounds good, that's fine. But how it's trusting Him
and leading not to my own understanding God to help
me right now?
Speaker 5 (27:29):
That makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
You say to yourself. You may be facing this financial
crisis and have only ten dollars in your name, and
the spirit tells you to give that ten dollars to
someone else who is in need, and you say to yourself,
wait a minute, that makes no sense at all. You
may be facing any health issues, you may have pain
in your body, and the spirit of God tells you
(27:50):
go share some good news with a neighbor, Go talk
to a nurse and a doctor and share good news
to them, tell them about the goodness of God. But
he's done for you. Something tells you to count it
all joy. Something tells you to go feed the hungry,
visit the sick, and you say to yourself, I need
food myself, I need healing myself. I don't feel no joy.
(28:12):
That just makes no sense to me. Well, you're free,
but you're still shackled. Are your all words and thoughts
defeeding you. You may only have one coat on one
runner that keeps you warm. You may only have one
blanket to keep you warm, and you get their urge
to give it up to someone else, and you think
to yourself, that's crazy, that makes absolutely no sense.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
Who told you to trust your senses anyway? Why do that?
Speaker 2 (28:37):
You say, I be cold if I gave my blanket away.
When does God make sense? What does God say about that?
You may know of someone who served God with all
their heart. You may know someone who fed the hunger, hungry,
visit the sick, went out of their way to do
things that were pleasing to the Lord, and they ended
up in a place where they weren't supposed to be,
or so you think. You may even be thinking to yourself,
(29:00):
how did I end up here? I love the Lord,
I thought him first. I strive to do right by
my family and those I meet on the way, and
yet I am right here with Hardy and his friends.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
Sometimes I'm lonely.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Sometimes I feel as if I'm tossed a style. Sometimes
I feel as if no one loves me. Then you
think about someone who was mean to everyone, didn't even
strive to live right by God, never attended church, church
aver opportunities, they got, drank or smoke like there was
no tomorrow, never gave a second thought to feeding the
hungry or visiting the sick, and yet they all live
an independent, successful lives, Or so it appears. That doesn't
(29:38):
seem fa sae fair? You say, how many know the
appearance can be deceptists. When life seems unfair, when your
world seems this is crashing down around you, When there
are times you don't see the end of your tunnel,
go to the word of God. John twelve forty six
Jesus says, I am come a light into the world
(29:58):
that who's ever believe it on me should not abide
in darkness. When it seems like the tuna is so long,
so dark, Just remember and say to yourself, what does
God say about that? Speak the word?
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Isaiah fifty eighteen says, and if thou.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Draw out thou soul to the hungry and satisfy the
afflicted soul, then shall that light rise in obscurity and
that darkness be as the noonday. When someone approaches you
in an unkind way and a nasty way, when they
say things that make you want to snap back at them,
just remember what would God do?
Speaker 5 (30:34):
What would God say about this?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Speak the word? Proverbse fifteen one says, A soft answer
turns away wrath, but grievous words stirrup anger. A soft
answer turns away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger.
When you are faced with the situation that seems unbearable,
(30:56):
and you just don't know how you are going to
make it. Just remember what does God say about this?
Mark nine twenty three. Jesus speaks, and he says, if
thou canst believe all things are possible, then he says,
all things are possible to them that believeth Jesus said,
unto him, if thou canst believe all things are possible
(31:18):
to him that believers. When your enemies talk naster to
you and tell lies on you, when they try to
make you feel bad and take your eyes off of God,
say to yourself, what does God say about that? Only
speak the word Psalms one thirty eight and seven. Psalms
one thirty eight and seven say, though I walk in
(31:38):
the midst of trouble, Thou shalt revive me. Thus to
stretch forth thy hand against the raps of my enemies,
and thy right hand shall save me. When your body
is wrapped in pain and it doesn't seem as if
you will gain your strength, When your heart is heavy
and you don't believe you have enough strength to make
it through each hour more lane each day, say to yourself,
(32:02):
what does God say about that wraps up the strength
that God has given you from within, and speak the word.
Psalms twenty seven fourteen says, Wait on the Lord, be
of good carriage, and he shall strengthen thy heart. Wait,
I say on the Lord. When it appears that your
suffering will never end, and that you can no longer endure,
(32:25):
say to yourself, what does God say about that? Only
speak the word? Rolmost eighth eighteen says, for I reckon.
Paul says, for I reckon, that the sufferings of this
present time are not worthy to be compared with the
glory which shall be revealed in us. When at times
you want to have a pity party, When at times
(32:47):
you believe you're all alone, you appears that God is
at a distance, say to yourself, wait a minute, Wait
a minute, Wait a minute. What does God's word say
about that? Jeremiah twenty nine thirteen says, and yes, ye
shall seek me and finding me, when you shall search
for me with all your heart, with all your heart,
think about.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
That for a minute. Think about that for a minute.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
When the time that you believe your family has forsaken you,
you say to yourself, no one loves me, no one cares.
You believe that you are of no significance in anyone.
Just say to yourself, wait, you needn't see a lot
of times we have to stop. We have a pause,
and we will just talk to ourselves. Shake it all,
shake it off. Say wait a minute, Wait a minute,
(33:33):
wait a minute. These are negative thoughts and they're not
coming from God. What does the word of God say?
And you need you a place those negative thoughts with
words that comes from the Word of God. Do you
want to be free, totally free of those shackles that
have been a burden to you and have kept you
in bondage? Do you want to be free, totally free
of those shackles and wait that had so easily beset you?
(33:57):
That speak the words, speak the word word on a
daily basis, and those shakhas got.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
To come down, They got to come there.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Thus said the Word of God. Psalms twenty three says,
the Lord is my shepherd. What shall I want? What
is a shepherd? What does a shepherd do? A shepherd
protects you, he gats you, he cares for you. And
that's what the Lord wants to be in your life.
Are you allowing him to be your shepherd?
Speaker 5 (34:24):
Psalms twenty three two says, he makes.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Me to lie down green pastures. He leaves me beside
the steel waters. That's rest unto your soul. That's rest
unto your soul. When everything arounds me seems to be chaotic,
when everything around may seems to be confusing, when everything
arounds me appears to be against me, he steals my waters,
so his peace surpasses all understanding. Everything around me may
(34:50):
appear dark and gloomy, but Jesus makes me to lie
down in green pastures.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
He gives me rest. He gives me rest.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
And that's called And the next verse is he restoreth
my soul. He restores my soul. He leads me in
the past of righteousness for his namesake. You see I
can be free and free of all shackles. These are
times when my soul needs a refreshing, and God knows it.
So he speaks restoration to my soul, and he leads
(35:22):
me the past of righteousness for his namesake, not for
my sake, but for his son, Jesus namesake.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
Yay, though I walk.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil. Thank you Lord, for thou art with me,
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
Thy rod and thy staff. Thou comfort me. Even though
I may.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Walk through the valley of the shadow of death, the
shadow of death, fear may try to paralyze me. What
is fear? False evidence appear in rear when the earth
all around me is seeking sand on Christ, the sun
that rock I stand. I may be walking through the
valley of the shadow of death, or by faith and
(36:08):
the name of Jesus. Fear, you got to go. Fear,
you have no dominion here, for God never leaves me.
Fear and faith does not mix, no more than water
and oree mix. Just like a good shepherd watches over
his sheep, he uses his rod and his staff to
comfort me. Every once in a while, I feel it crickening,
(36:29):
a pulling, to let me know he's still there and
I'm still his sheep. I may be tempted to go
off course. I may even go off course, and sometimes
but his gentle spirit, his loving spirit, touches me with
his rod and his staff and calmly rears me back.
In death of parents are table before me, in the
(36:49):
presence of my enemies, Thou anonneth my head with oil,
my cup runneth over.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
What a mighty God we serve when our enemies.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Are all around us. He loves me, our personalized this women,
the enemies around me. He loves me so much that
he allows me to find favor, and he leaves them
shaking their heads. He leaves my enemies shaken their heads.
For what my enemy meant for evil, God would turn
it around for my good.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
Praise God.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Surely, surely mercy and goodness shall follow me all the
days of my life, and I would dwell in the
house of the Lord forever. Goodness and mercy following me
around all the days of my life.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
Yes, yes, hallelujah, Thank you Jesus.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
There is no place I can escape that God doesn't
know about. Yes, that's correct. Even when I mess up,
God and still there.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
Yes he is.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Especially when I mess up, He's still there. Yes he is.
His loving presence called goodness and mercies follows me, embraces me,
loves me. Yes he does. Yes, Goodness and mercy would
never leave you. Yes it does. And get this, when
you come to the end of your journey and you
look back over your life and want of just what
(38:05):
lies ahead, you can rest and the knowledge that if
you belong to him you will spend eternity with him,
and for some reason, if you ever begin to doubt,
say to yourself, what does the Word of God say
that say about this? Glatians five one says, for it
is for freedom that Christ has set me free. I'm
(38:25):
gonna stand firm there and do not let myself be
burdened again by a yoke of slavery. I'm gonna trust
the word of God because he did tell me that
I've trusted in him, and never doubt.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
If I accept Him as my savior.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
According to John eleventh chapter Jesus speaks to the twentieth
and Jesus speaks and says, I am the Resurrection and
the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead,
Yet shall he lived, And who sever liveth and believe
it's in me, shall never die. Believe it thou this,
Jesus asks. And then in first John five, First John five, eleven, and.
Speaker 5 (39:03):
Thirteen, Jesus says, these things have.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
I written unto you that believe on the name of
the Son of God, that ye may know that you
have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the
name of the Son of God, who.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
Is the Son of God. Jesus the Christ.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
When the enemy tries to bring fear into your heart
or tries to tell you that you are losing your mind,
you say, what does God say about that? What does
God say about that? God tells me in Second Tempathy
one seventh that He has not given me the spirit
of fear, but of love and of power and of
a sound mind. When I wake up in the morning,
a pap when I make up in the middle of
(39:41):
the night, And perhaps I don't feel like praising him,
or I'm gonna think to myself, I'm gonna praise him.
But yet I'm wonderfully and fearfully made. I'm gonna meditate
on God's word. I'm gonna hon speak those things that
are positive. I'm gonna speak his word. Psalms one eighteen
and twenty four says, this is the day the the
Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
(40:03):
What does God say about it?
Speaker 5 (40:05):
Mm?
Speaker 2 (40:07):
The circumstances don't look good, but I'm not gonna be
moved by what I see. Second Corrections four eighteen says,
while we look not on the things which are seen, no,
but all the things which are not seen, For the
things which are seen, are temporal, for the things which
are not seen are eternal. That second CORRECTI is four
eighteen HM. I am redeemed from the enemy. Psalms one
(40:32):
seven Tom says, Let the redeemed of the Lord say
so whom he has redeemed.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
From the hand of the enemy.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
When sickness tries to strike your body, when you feel
like you are going to get ill, or when the
doctors give you a bad word, meditate. I tell you
to meditate on one Peter two twenty four that says,
who his own bear, his own self, bear our sins,
and his own body on the tree, that we, being
dead to sins, should live unto righteousness. By whose strikes
(41:04):
ye are healed. Meditate on these scriptures day and night.
You already have peace, Jesus says, peace I leave with
you my peace. I give unto you, not as the
world giveth, give out unto you. Jesus says, Let not
your heart be troubled, neither let.
Speaker 5 (41:20):
It be afraid. Be strong in the Lord and in
the power of his might.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Ephesus six teens says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in
the Lord and in the power of his might. You
are blessed. Do you know how blessed you are that
Jesus is your comforter. You are all ready blessed. There
are so many scriptures, so many scriptures that you can
go to and the words and replace those negative thoughts
and those negative words with so many scriptures. Just meditate, meditate.
Speaker 5 (41:49):
And speak on the word.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Meditate on those scriptures that would give you life.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
Meditate.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
You see, the Lord is not slack concerning his promise
as some men slack count slackness.
Speaker 5 (42:03):
That means if.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
God said that, that's it, you can take it to
the bay. Man may give you a promise, and when
you look for man you can't find them. But according
to Second Peter three nine, the word of God says,
the Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some
men count slackness. But it's long suffering towards us, not
willing that as your parish, but that all should come
to repent.
Speaker 5 (42:24):
So if God said it, that settles it.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Just speak the word speak life to that dying situation.
Speak life. Maybe you've had an unexpected setback or loss.
Your future is unknown to you, All of our fruture
is unknown. All of us need to trust Jesus as
I saved in Lord, you can be sure if this
one thing that He'll go with you wherever you go.
Speaker 5 (42:43):
You can believe that because God said it. God said it.
God said it. So in summary.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
In summary, you can be free of all shackles and
live in victorious life, the life that God intended you
to do.
Speaker 5 (42:56):
But you must do two things.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
You've got to be knew your mind daily and stop
speaking negative words your own defeat, because you got to
stop being your all worst enemy. You can't be made
whole by accepting Jesus Christ as you're saving if you're
not already save. So even if you're saved, we knew
your mind on daily basis, and stop speaking negative words.
Speaker 5 (43:19):
Now.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
If you've been listening to me or you know someone
who needs to hear this word that are not saved,
don't be selfish with this world. You see, everybody can
be made whole and can be free and broken. Loose
every shackle, every shackle when they meditate on the word
of God and when you speak positive words. So if
they're not saved, if you're not saved, if you're not
(43:42):
repentant of your sins and accepting Jesus into your heart.
Speaker 5 (43:45):
What am I mean?
Speaker 2 (43:46):
What am I saying? If you're not onetred percent sure
that you will spend eternity in heaven, I want you
to listen very closely. No man can save you. Your
husband can't save you, Your wife can't save you. No
man can save you. Only Jesus. You have to put
your trust in Jesus. John fourteen six Jesus says to him,
(44:09):
I am the Way, the Truth, and the life. No
man coming into the Father, but by men, no man.
That's John fourteen six, Acts four twelve says, neither is
there salvation in any other for is for there is
no other name under Heaven given um to men whereby
we must be saved. So I'll ask you this question.
(44:32):
Wherever you are right now, right now, take a pause.
Are you saved? Are you born again? Have you made
the confession that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life?
Because if you heaven, you are not free. If you heaven,
you got many shackles, many wastes bearing out on you.
Rama's ten nine says that if thou shall confess with
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your
(44:54):
heart that God has raised his son Jesus from the dead,
thou shall be saved. So the first thing you need
to do is admit, admit that you are a sinnered
You see, all of us have sins. Ramast three ten says,
as it is written, there is none righteous, no not once.
You need to be willing to repent that it's a
turn from your sins. You need to believe that Jesus
(45:16):
Christ died for you, that he was buried and he
rose from the dead. Ramas ten ten says for with
the heart, man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation. So through prayer, right now,
right ever you are, through prayer, you can invite Jesus
to come into your life to become your personal savior.
(45:38):
You see, this is the first step. You see, you
got to invite him to come into your life to
become your savior before he could be lord over your life.
Rama's ten thirteen says, for whosoever shall call upon.
Speaker 5 (45:50):
The name of the Lord shall be saved.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
I thank God, I am a whosoever. What about you?
I thank God, I am a whosoever. So you can
say this prayer after me right now, right now, and
be serious. Don't play with this word.
Speaker 5 (46:05):
Be serious. Dear God. I am a sinner and I
need forgiveness. I believe that.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Jesus Christ shared his precious blood and died on the
cross for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin.
I now invite Christ to come into my heart and
life as my personal savior. If you just did that,
(46:34):
if you just prayed that prayer of salvation with me,
if you trusted Jesus as your person savior, my sister,
my brother, you just be got a wonderful new life
in him. Praise God. I thank you, and not all
ado I thank you. Praise God for you. But guess what,
all the angels in heaven are rejoiced. And write this
very moment, Write this very moment. Heaven stood fear because
(46:56):
you accept the Christ as you'll save you and He
is given you in new life. Now you need to
get a good Bible and read it every day to
get to know Jesus better. Talk to God in prayer,
meditate on his word day and night. Stop allowing negative
thoughts to penetrate your mind, and stop speaking negative things.
Then you need to get baptized and worship and schelarships
(47:18):
and serves other brothers and sisters in a local church
where Christ is preached and the Bible is the finner authority.
And guess what, don't forget to tell somebody else about Jesus.
Speaker 5 (47:29):
Don't be selfless what he's done for you.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
He can certainly he will certainly gladly do for someone
else a man. Let us pray, Let us pray, Heaven,
the Father. We come to you right now, Dear God,
thanking you, Lord God for your word.
Speaker 5 (47:42):
Dis God.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
Forth, we thank you Father for souls that have just
come crying out to you, Lord, that had given your
lives to you. We thank you Father, and your words
have been in charity to somebody in Lord God. Lord,
we thank you Father. Somebody now know that they can
be free of everything, Lord God, that he who the
Son has set free is free. Indeed, Lord God, somebody somewhere,
Lord God can know that the minds do not need
(48:04):
to be entangled with the yoke of bodies, but they
can go out and be truly free in You and
the name of Jesus, Lord God. We thank you, Lord
God for using this vessel. We thank you, Lord God
for your honors. We thank you, Lord God that your
people Lord God, are free and free indeed to worship
for you, to praise you, Lord God, to give you

message knight is free but still shackled.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Galatians five one.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
The NIV version says it is for freedom that Christ
has set us free. Stand firm then, and do not
let yourselves be burned again by a yoke of slavery,
free but still shackles. You see, the scripture lets.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Us know that we have a choice.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You can either live like, act like, walk like you
believe the word of God and truly have been set free.
Or you can be captive to the enemy and continue
to be bound by his lives and remain in a
paralyzed position.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
You do have a choice, because.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
The scripture here says, do not let yourselves be burdened
again by a yoke of slavery. Stand firm, then, and
do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke
of slavery, free but still shackled.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Imagine this.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Imagine if you will. You've been in prison for a
long time. Finally someone comes up to you and say
you're free to go. They take those old prison rags
that you've been wearing for quite some time, and they
give you a fresh set of clothing. They then take
you to the gate that opens to the world. You
look out, but you don't go through that gate. You
(08:46):
stand there gazing, paralyzed by the thoughts and actions of
the past. They tell you again, hey, look, you're free
to go, but there you remain frozen to that place,
refusal to accept the fact that you are free, refusing
to accept the fact that it's just that easy. You
(09:07):
can walk through that gate and have a brand new
life waiting for you. Yet you stand there, frozen, refusing
to accept the fact that you are free. Indeed, there
are no longer bars set parading you from freedom, there
are no longer restrictions to what you can do, where
you can go. But yet something within is preventing you
(09:28):
from moving forward. Something within is preventing you from forgetting
about your past and moving forward forward with great expectations.
Something from within you is causing you to wrestle with
two opinions. Something within you is causing you to be
weighed down with all those shackles. Something within its causing
(09:52):
you to miss the many blessings that God has in
store for you. Something from within. You're free, but you're
still shackled by the thoughts that rage within your own mind.
You're free, but you're still shackled, not fully understanding that
he who just loves set free is free. Indeed, this
(10:14):
scripture there excuse the Galationians five to one. It is
for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then,
and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a
yoke of slavery. You are free, but you're still shackled,
and your mind won't allow you to stand firm and
(10:36):
not be burdened. That's not be entangled again by a
yoke of bondage. What is that one thing that is
keeping you from walking in your freedom? What is that
one thing that you are allowed to hold you back
from being all that God wants you to be? What
is that one thing that you are allowed to keep
you in bondage? Before we answer that, let's pause for
(10:57):
a minute. You see, you are spirit, You have a soul,
and you live in a body. You are a spirit,
you have a soul and you live in a body.
For those who of us who have accepted Jesus Christ
as our savior, our soul Christ, I thank you Lord,
our soul has been redeemed and wants to glorify and
(11:19):
praise God for sectin chances. But we all will admit
that our thoughts won't always line up with what's good.
Our thoughts aren't always pleasing to God. Our thoughts aren't
always pleasing even to ourselves. For on our Christian Journey
Scripture lets us know that we need to renew our
minds daily.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Your mind.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You need to renew your mind daily, and be careful
what you allow to be planted in the garden of
your mind. Roma's twelve two says, be not conformed to
this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind,
that by testing you may deserve what is the will
(12:00):
of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Don't
stand there at that gate to freedom and watch the
world pass you by while you let the old.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Man linger and strangle you.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Don't stand there at that gate and allow all those
spiderwhebs to clutter your mind and paralyze you. Don't stand
there at that gate to freedom when Christ has a
deed set you free and allow all those negative thoughts
to take root in the.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Garden of your mind.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Don't you stand there at that gate to freedom and
allow those negative thoughts to take root. There you yourself
begin to nourish and cultivate those thoughts, with negative words
coming out.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Of your mouth.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Free but still shackled. How do you shake all those shackles?
How do you stand up in your God given image
and say enough is enough? How do you stand firm
on the word of God and not let yourselves be
spurredened again by a yoke of slavery. How do you
let go go to past and move forward in victory?
(13:03):
How do you, my brother, be free with no shackles?
Speaker 5 (13:07):
There are two.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Absolute things you must do on a daily basis, and
this would be the focus of our lesson this evening.
Two absolute things. Number one, you must renew your mind.
You must renew your mind. And two you must speak
all the positive things. You must let go of all
the negative, defeating words that try to slip in underwear.
These two things you must do if you are to
(13:30):
be truly free of the shackles that continually weigh you down.
So let's talk about renewing your mind. Renewing your mind
on a daily basis. What does it mean to renew?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
It mays to refresh, to refresh.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Ephesians four twenty two through twenty four. Phase that you
put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which
is corrupt according to the deceitful lust, and be renewed
in the spirit of your mind, and that you put
on a new man, which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
You see, you need to.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Meditate on God's word and you need to allow it
to take root in.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
The garden of your mind.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Do you struggle with bitterness, anxiety, depression, or other emotional pain.
You need to meditate on scripture, truth more and more
and renew your mind and the hope of Jesus Christ.
Renewing your mind, let's focus on Ehippitius four Eighthess fIF
Philippius four eight really tells us about what things we
(14:32):
should think of. Philipping four a says, whatsoever is true,
whatsoever it's noble, whatsoever is right, whatsoever is pure, whatsoever
is lovely, whatsoever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy,
Think on these things. So instead of thinking on the negatives,
(14:56):
false things, think of what's true, Think of what's pleasure,
Think on all those good and pleasant gifts.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
That come from God.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You see, you must renew your mind on a daily basis.
You must take on the mind of Christ. Now, this
doesn't happen overnight, but it can't happen when you begin
to study and meditate on God's word. So here's a question,
how can I know the mind of Christ by meditating
First Corinthians two twelve says, Now we have received not
(15:27):
the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is
of God, that we might know the things that are
free to given to us of God.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Thirteen. What things also we speak.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which
the Holy Ghost teachers. Comparing spirits of things with spiritual
the fourteenth verse says, but the natural man receives nothing
natural things of the receive nothing things of the Spirit
of God, for they are foolishness unto him. Neither can
he know them, because they are spiritually deserved.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Fifteen.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
But he that is spiritual judges all things. Yet he
himself is judges of no man. Sixteen For who has
known the mind of the Lord? Here we are right here,
for who has known the mind of the Lord that
he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Talking about this new man, we have the mind of Christ.
(16:25):
Meditate on God's words. Psalms one nineteen eleven says that
the word of God hid in your heart. Let the
word of God be hidden in your heart, so that
you do not sin against him. Psalms the first of
chapter of Psalms. In the first the third verse says,
bless Us is the man who walks not in the
counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the sway of sinners,
(16:49):
nor sits in the sea of skuffers. But his delight
is in the law of the Lord, and on his
law he meditates day and night. He is like a
tree planted by streams of water that yields is fruit
in its season, and its leaf does not wither. At
all that he does, he prospers. I want you to
(17:11):
think about that before we go out.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Think about that for a minute.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel
of the wicked. He's like a tree planted by streams
of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and
its leaf does not wither. And all that he does
he prospers. Stand still like a tree planted by the
streams of water, and don't bulge. When negative thoughts comes
to your mind, cast them down. Second CORENTHRO is ten
(17:40):
to four, and the NIV version says, the weapons we
fight with are not the weapons of the world. On
the contrary, they are divine power. To demolish strongholds. We
demolish arguments in every pretension that sets itself up against
the knowledge of God. And we take captive every thought
(18:03):
to make it obedient to Christ. The scripture lets us
know that you can take captive every negative thought, you
can cast it down.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
So how do you renew your mind?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
By casting then everything that does not come from God?
How do you know if it's not coming from God?
By according to Glatians the fifth chapter and the twenty
second verse, anything that goes contrary to the fruit of his.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Spirit does not come from God.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
The fruit of his spirit love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
All those good things come from God.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
If anything and the thoughts comes to your mind and
they go against the food of His Spirit, you can
trust the word of God. It does not come from God.
Anything that is not wrapped up in one of these
fruits of his.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Spirit is sin.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Therefore, if you are to be free from any shackles,
you must be knew your mind daily by casting down
anything that is contrary to the few of His Spirit.
If the thoughts enter your mind are not loved, ask yourself,
is this hate? Is this connected to hatred? They cast
it down. If the thoughts enter your mind are not joyful,
(19:19):
ask yourself, it's this sadness. It's this sadness, cast it down.
If the thoughts entering your mind are not peaceful, and
you know Jesus it is the Prince of peace, ask yourself,
is this something that's trouble making? It's this trouble confusion.
And if they're against peace, then cast it down. If
(19:39):
the thoughts entering your mind are not long suffering, which
is patience, ask yourself, is this causing me to be
tric temple crick through anger? They cast it down. If
the thoughts entering your mind are not gentle, ask yourself,
is this harshness against someone?
Speaker 5 (19:58):
They cast it down.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
So forth and so on. Cast down any imagination that
exalts itself against the Word and the knowledge of God.
In other words, refuse to give in to negative thoughts,
thoughts that are not based on the fruit of His spirit.
Remember second tempathy one seven says God has not given
you the spirit of fear, but of love and of
(20:23):
power and of a sound mind. So if fear attempts
to enter your thoughts, instead of giving in to it,
allow His word to replace it. Know that He is
the Press of peace. Words like I can do all
things through Christ, which gives me strength. What does it
mean to meditate on the word of God? It means
to study his word. Don't just read it, study pray
(20:47):
and ask God how you should apply it to a
particular situation. Trust him, Listen closely to what he has
to say. Get to learn God's voice. Get to learn
his voice through his precious Holy Spirit. You see, God
has given us his wonderful spirit to guide us and
to comfort us, to protect us. He stands ready to
help you. Call upon his help today, free but still shackles.
(21:12):
Are you allowing negative words to keep you in bondage?
Are you allowing negative words to keep you in shackles?
Are you hung by your own tongue? Stop speaking those
negative words. What truly matters When it's all said and done,
m get this, when the dust settles, when the rubber
makes the road, when the curtains poured back, when all
(21:33):
the results are in, Only speak the words for in
the final analysis and the final episode and the moment
of truth, and God says you shall live and not die,
then that's it. Believe it not because I said it,
Believe it because He said it. Just know that God
loves you, and he say he would never ever leave you.
He knows your future, and he cares about every aspect
(21:55):
of your life. He knows you when you wake up
in the morning. He knows who you when you start
off in your He knows you at the sun side
of your day. He knows you when you lay your
head down to night. He knows the thoughts you have
before you go to sleep. He knows you even while
you are slumber and sleeping. God knows you. He knows
when you wake up in the middle of the night.
He knows and sees that tear, that trick is down
your face. He can wipe away every tear from your face.
(22:18):
He and he alone can comfort you like nobody else care.
Jesus hallelujah. You see, sometimes you need to get up,
shake yourself and clear all those cobwebs from your head.
Then sell on yourself once and for all, plant your
feet firmanent on a solid foundation, and declare to yourself first,
(22:38):
and then declare to all.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
To anyone who would come into your presence.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I must only speak the word, for the word comes
to me to give me liberty. I will not receive
any negative ism from you. Free but still shackled. Are
you allowing your own word to be a stumbling block
to you being shackled? Free, free, but still shackled. Are
the words coming out of your mouth paralyzing you? Free
(23:03):
but still shackles? Are your own words giving you life
or giving you death? For all the negative things you
have to say, guess what, God has a positive word
that you need to say to replace those negative Those
negative words statements like I'm always worried on first rate
God says m M. You don't have to be. To
cast your cares upon me, says Jesus first Peter five seven.
(23:27):
Cast all your cares upon Jesus, for he cares for you.
What happens when you weared your mind takes you all
over the place. What does it mean to cast your
cares upon the Lord? It means to live a life
free of weary gnawing, trusting and believing that he who
promised is well able to perform, that he who promise
(23:50):
has not forgotten you, That he who promised is very
qualified to fulfill his promises, that he who promise is
yet faithful. If I wear it, he's well able to
handle inner situation. Why allow frustrations to bother your mind,
he's well able to mind your business. When you say
I'm always wear it and frustrated. When you allow those
(24:12):
words to come out of your mouth, regardless of whether
you realize it or not, you're telling God that you
don't believe he can do what he's promised he can do.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
MM.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
There's something in this. When you say I've always wear
it and frustrated. What you're really saying is I really
don't believe it's that simple. I really don't believe that
I can cast my cares upon Jesus and forget about it.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
MM.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
You see when he says cast your cares upon him,
for he cares for you. He's saying, I know what
you need, I know how you're feeling. I know what
I have in store for you. So you go along.
Now mind your business. That is obeying my word and
trust me to mind your business.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
I got this, says God. I got this.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
You say I'm always wearing and frustrated. Yeay, I know
he took care of that last situation, that last problem,
that last relationship, But I still can't seem to figure
it out. Why am I always so frustrated? Why am
I always so wared. This is the answer because you
refuse to accept. You refuse this knowledge, and you'll refuse
to lie God to be Lord in your life. Free
(25:20):
but still shackles. You see, you have the faith, for
He's given each of us a measure of faith. You
have everything you need as a Christian to be victorious.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
But still you wary. You're weary because.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
You aren't activating the faith that He's already given you.
And how does that make our Lord feel that you
simply don't trust him? Free but still shackles only speak
the words?
Speaker 5 (25:43):
How many know that the word tells.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Us the light and death are in the power of
your tongue Proverbs eighteen and twenty one. Death and life
are in the power of the tongue. And they that
love is shy eat the fewth thereof. Do you want
to be rid of those shackles once and for all.
Stop meditating on his word day or night night, and
(26:06):
replace every negative word with a word that comes from God.
Duda Rami thirties, chapter the nineteenth verse says, I call
heaven and earth to record this day against you that
I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore,
choose life that both thou and thy seed may live.
Do you want to get rid of those shackles once
(26:28):
and for all. Choose life over death. Choose blessings over curses.
Stop speaking your own defeat. Start meditating on God's word
day and night. Replace every negative word with a word.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
From the Lord.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Free but stilling shackles. It's your spiritual growth hindered by
the very words that you speak come with may just
depend on His word and speak the word.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Stop speaking defeat. Stop speaking defeat.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
When you are going through trials and tribulations and you
feel all hope is gone, something may occur come to
your mind to remind you about what God said about
that situation. But then you think to yourself, that doesn't
make sense. Stop relying on your senses. I tell you.
For example, you may be facing a financial crisis and
your beers are due. The Word of God tells you
(27:17):
the trust and the Lord with all your heart and
lean not to your own understanding. Then you say, well,
that sounds good, that's fine. But how it's trusting Him
and leading not to my own understanding God to help
me right now?
Speaker 5 (27:29):
That makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
You say to yourself. You may be facing this financial
crisis and have only ten dollars in your name, and
the spirit tells you to give that ten dollars to
someone else who is in need, and you say to yourself,
wait a minute, that makes no sense at all. You
may be facing any health issues, you may have pain
in your body, and the spirit of God tells you
(27:50):
go share some good news with a neighbor, Go talk
to a nurse and a doctor and share good news
to them, tell them about the goodness of God. But
he's done for you. Something tells you to count it
all joy. Something tells you to go feed the hungry,
visit the sick, and you say to yourself, I need
food myself, I need healing myself. I don't feel no joy.
(28:12):
That just makes no sense to me. Well, you're free,
but you're still shackled. Are your all words and thoughts
defeeding you. You may only have one coat on one
runner that keeps you warm. You may only have one
blanket to keep you warm, and you get their urge
to give it up to someone else, and you think
to yourself, that's crazy, that makes absolutely no sense.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
Who told you to trust your senses anyway? Why do that?
Speaker 2 (28:37):
You say, I be cold if I gave my blanket away.
When does God make sense? What does God say about that?
You may know of someone who served God with all
their heart. You may know someone who fed the hunger, hungry,
visit the sick, went out of their way to do
things that were pleasing to the Lord, and they ended
up in a place where they weren't supposed to be,
or so you think. You may even be thinking to yourself,
(29:00):
how did I end up here? I love the Lord,
I thought him first. I strive to do right by
my family and those I meet on the way, and
yet I am right here with Hardy and his friends.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
Sometimes I'm lonely.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Sometimes I feel as if I'm tossed a style. Sometimes
I feel as if no one loves me. Then you
think about someone who was mean to everyone, didn't even
strive to live right by God, never attended church, church
aver opportunities, they got, drank or smoke like there was
no tomorrow, never gave a second thought to feeding the
hungry or visiting the sick, and yet they all live
an independent, successful lives, Or so it appears. That doesn't
(29:38):
seem fa sae fair? You say, how many know the
appearance can be deceptists. When life seems unfair, when your
world seems this is crashing down around you, When there
are times you don't see the end of your tunnel,
go to the word of God. John twelve forty six
Jesus says, I am come a light into the world
(29:58):
that who's ever believe it on me should not abide
in darkness. When it seems like the tuna is so long,
so dark, Just remember and say to yourself, what does
God say about that? Speak the word?
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Isaiah fifty eighteen says, and if thou.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Draw out thou soul to the hungry and satisfy the
afflicted soul, then shall that light rise in obscurity and
that darkness be as the noonday. When someone approaches you
in an unkind way and a nasty way, when they
say things that make you want to snap back at them,
just remember what would God do?
Speaker 5 (30:34):
What would God say about this?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Speak the word? Proverbse fifteen one says, A soft answer
turns away wrath, but grievous words stirrup anger. A soft
answer turns away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger.
When you are faced with the situation that seems unbearable,
(30:56):
and you just don't know how you are going to
make it. Just remember what does God say about this?
Mark nine twenty three. Jesus speaks, and he says, if
thou canst believe all things are possible, then he says,
all things are possible to them that believeth Jesus said,
unto him, if thou canst believe all things are possible
(31:18):
to him that believers. When your enemies talk naster to
you and tell lies on you, when they try to
make you feel bad and take your eyes off of God,
say to yourself, what does God say about that? Only
speak the word Psalms one thirty eight and seven. Psalms
one thirty eight and seven say, though I walk in
(31:38):
the midst of trouble, Thou shalt revive me. Thus to
stretch forth thy hand against the raps of my enemies,
and thy right hand shall save me. When your body
is wrapped in pain and it doesn't seem as if
you will gain your strength, When your heart is heavy
and you don't believe you have enough strength to make
it through each hour more lane each day, say to yourself,
(32:02):
what does God say about that wraps up the strength
that God has given you from within, and speak the word.
Psalms twenty seven fourteen says, Wait on the Lord, be
of good carriage, and he shall strengthen thy heart. Wait,
I say on the Lord. When it appears that your
suffering will never end, and that you can no longer endure,
(32:25):
say to yourself, what does God say about that? Only
speak the word? Rolmost eighth eighteen says, for I reckon.
Paul says, for I reckon, that the sufferings of this
present time are not worthy to be compared with the
glory which shall be revealed in us. When at times
you want to have a pity party, When at times
(32:47):
you believe you're all alone, you appears that God is
at a distance, say to yourself, wait a minute, Wait
a minute, Wait a minute. What does God's word say
about that? Jeremiah twenty nine thirteen says, and yes, ye
shall seek me and finding me, when you shall search
for me with all your heart, with all your heart,
think about.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
That for a minute. Think about that for a minute.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
When the time that you believe your family has forsaken you,
you say to yourself, no one loves me, no one cares.
You believe that you are of no significance in anyone.
Just say to yourself, wait, you needn't see a lot
of times we have to stop. We have a pause,
and we will just talk to ourselves. Shake it all,
shake it off. Say wait a minute, Wait a minute,
(33:33):
wait a minute. These are negative thoughts and they're not
coming from God. What does the word of God say?
And you need you a place those negative thoughts with
words that comes from the Word of God. Do you
want to be free, totally free of those shackles that
have been a burden to you and have kept you
in bondage? Do you want to be free, totally free
of those shackles and wait that had so easily beset you?
(33:57):
That speak the words, speak the word word on a
daily basis, and those shakhas got.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
To come down, They got to come there.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Thus said the Word of God. Psalms twenty three says,
the Lord is my shepherd. What shall I want? What
is a shepherd? What does a shepherd do? A shepherd
protects you, he gats you, he cares for you. And
that's what the Lord wants to be in your life.
Are you allowing him to be your shepherd?
Speaker 5 (34:24):
Psalms twenty three two says, he makes.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Me to lie down green pastures. He leaves me beside
the steel waters. That's rest unto your soul. That's rest
unto your soul. When everything arounds me seems to be chaotic,
when everything around may seems to be confusing, when everything
arounds me appears to be against me, he steals my waters,
so his peace surpasses all understanding. Everything around me may
(34:50):
appear dark and gloomy, but Jesus makes me to lie
down in green pastures.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
He gives me rest. He gives me rest.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
And that's called And the next verse is he restoreth
my soul. He restores my soul. He leads me in
the past of righteousness for his namesake. You see I
can be free and free of all shackles. These are
times when my soul needs a refreshing, and God knows it.
So he speaks restoration to my soul, and he leads
(35:22):
me the past of righteousness for his namesake, not for
my sake, but for his son, Jesus namesake.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
Yay, though I walk.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil. Thank you Lord, for thou art with me,
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
Thy rod and thy staff. Thou comfort me. Even though
I may.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Walk through the valley of the shadow of death, the
shadow of death, fear may try to paralyze me. What
is fear? False evidence appear in rear when the earth
all around me is seeking sand on Christ, the sun
that rock I stand. I may be walking through the
valley of the shadow of death, or by faith and
(36:08):
the name of Jesus. Fear, you got to go. Fear,
you have no dominion here, for God never leaves me.
Fear and faith does not mix, no more than water
and oree mix. Just like a good shepherd watches over
his sheep, he uses his rod and his staff to
comfort me. Every once in a while, I feel it crickening,
(36:29):
a pulling, to let me know he's still there and
I'm still his sheep. I may be tempted to go
off course. I may even go off course, and sometimes
but his gentle spirit, his loving spirit, touches me with
his rod and his staff and calmly rears me back.
In death of parents are table before me, in the
(36:49):
presence of my enemies, Thou anonneth my head with oil,
my cup runneth over.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
What a mighty God we serve when our enemies.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Are all around us. He loves me, our personalized this women,
the enemies around me. He loves me so much that
he allows me to find favor, and he leaves them
shaking their heads. He leaves my enemies shaken their heads.
For what my enemy meant for evil, God would turn
it around for my good.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
Praise God.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Surely, surely mercy and goodness shall follow me all the
days of my life, and I would dwell in the
house of the Lord forever. Goodness and mercy following me
around all the days of my life.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
Yes, yes, hallelujah, Thank you Jesus.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
There is no place I can escape that God doesn't
know about. Yes, that's correct. Even when I mess up,
God and still there.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
Yes he is.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Especially when I mess up, He's still there. Yes he is.
His loving presence called goodness and mercies follows me, embraces me,
loves me. Yes he does. Yes, Goodness and mercy would
never leave you. Yes it does. And get this, when
you come to the end of your journey and you
look back over your life and want of just what
(38:05):
lies ahead, you can rest and the knowledge that if
you belong to him you will spend eternity with him,
and for some reason, if you ever begin to doubt,
say to yourself, what does the Word of God say
that say about this? Glatians five one says, for it
is for freedom that Christ has set me free. I'm
(38:25):
gonna stand firm there and do not let myself be
burdened again by a yoke of slavery. I'm gonna trust
the word of God because he did tell me that
I've trusted in him, and never doubt.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
If I accept Him as my savior.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
According to John eleventh chapter Jesus speaks to the twentieth
and Jesus speaks and says, I am the Resurrection and
the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead,
Yet shall he lived, And who sever liveth and believe
it's in me, shall never die. Believe it thou this,
Jesus asks. And then in first John five, First John five, eleven, and.
Speaker 5 (39:03):
Thirteen, Jesus says, these things have.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
I written unto you that believe on the name of
the Son of God, that ye may know that you
have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the
name of the Son of God, who.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
Is the Son of God. Jesus the Christ.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
When the enemy tries to bring fear into your heart
or tries to tell you that you are losing your mind,
you say, what does God say about that? What does
God say about that? God tells me in Second Tempathy
one seventh that He has not given me the spirit
of fear, but of love and of power and of
a sound mind. When I wake up in the morning,
a pap when I make up in the middle of
(39:41):
the night, And perhaps I don't feel like praising him,
or I'm gonna think to myself, I'm gonna praise him.
But yet I'm wonderfully and fearfully made. I'm gonna meditate
on God's word. I'm gonna hon speak those things that
are positive. I'm gonna speak his word. Psalms one eighteen
and twenty four says, this is the day the the
Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
(40:03):
What does God say about it?
Speaker 5 (40:05):
Mm?
Speaker 2 (40:07):
The circumstances don't look good, but I'm not gonna be
moved by what I see. Second Corrections four eighteen says,
while we look not on the things which are seen, no,
but all the things which are not seen, For the
things which are seen, are temporal, for the things which
are not seen are eternal. That second CORRECTI is four
eighteen HM. I am redeemed from the enemy. Psalms one
(40:32):
seven Tom says, Let the redeemed of the Lord say
so whom he has redeemed.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
From the hand of the enemy.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
When sickness tries to strike your body, when you feel
like you are going to get ill, or when the
doctors give you a bad word, meditate. I tell you
to meditate on one Peter two twenty four that says,
who his own bear, his own self, bear our sins,
and his own body on the tree, that we, being
dead to sins, should live unto righteousness. By whose strikes
(41:04):
ye are healed. Meditate on these scriptures day and night.
You already have peace, Jesus says, peace I leave with
you my peace. I give unto you, not as the
world giveth, give out unto you. Jesus says, Let not
your heart be troubled, neither let.
Speaker 5 (41:20):
It be afraid. Be strong in the Lord and in
the power of his might.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Ephesus six teens says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in
the Lord and in the power of his might. You
are blessed. Do you know how blessed you are that
Jesus is your comforter. You are all ready blessed. There
are so many scriptures, so many scriptures that you can
go to and the words and replace those negative thoughts
and those negative words with so many scriptures. Just meditate, meditate.
Speaker 5 (41:49):
And speak on the word.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Meditate on those scriptures that would give you life.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
Meditate.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
You see, the Lord is not slack concerning his promise
as some men slack count slackness.
Speaker 5 (42:03):
That means if.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
God said that, that's it, you can take it to
the bay. Man may give you a promise, and when
you look for man you can't find them. But according
to Second Peter three nine, the word of God says,
the Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some
men count slackness. But it's long suffering towards us, not
willing that as your parish, but that all should come
to repent.
Speaker 5 (42:24):
So if God said it, that settles it.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Just speak the word speak life to that dying situation.
Speak life. Maybe you've had an unexpected setback or loss.
Your future is unknown to you, All of our fruture
is unknown. All of us need to trust Jesus as
I saved in Lord, you can be sure if this
one thing that He'll go with you wherever you go.
Speaker 5 (42:43):
You can believe that because God said it. God said it.
God said it. So in summary.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
In summary, you can be free of all shackles and
live in victorious life, the life that God intended you
to do.
Speaker 5 (42:56):
But you must do two things.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
You've got to be knew your mind daily and stop
speaking negative words your own defeat, because you got to
stop being your all worst enemy. You can't be made
whole by accepting Jesus Christ as you're saving if you're
not already save. So even if you're saved, we knew
your mind on daily basis, and stop speaking negative words.
Speaker 5 (43:19):
Now.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
If you've been listening to me or you know someone
who needs to hear this word that are not saved,
don't be selfish with this world. You see, everybody can
be made whole and can be free and broken. Loose
every shackle, every shackle when they meditate on the word
of God and when you speak positive words. So if
they're not saved, if you're not saved, if you're not
(43:42):
repentant of your sins and accepting Jesus into your heart.
Speaker 5 (43:45):
What am I mean?
Speaker 2 (43:46):
What am I saying? If you're not onetred percent sure
that you will spend eternity in heaven, I want you
to listen very closely. No man can save you. Your
husband can't save you, Your wife can't save you. No
man can save you. Only Jesus. You have to put
your trust in Jesus. John fourteen six Jesus says to him,
(44:09):
I am the Way, the Truth, and the life. No
man coming into the Father, but by men, no man.
That's John fourteen six, Acts four twelve says, neither is
there salvation in any other for is for there is
no other name under Heaven given um to men whereby
we must be saved. So I'll ask you this question.
(44:32):
Wherever you are right now, right now, take a pause.
Are you saved? Are you born again? Have you made
the confession that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life?
Because if you heaven, you are not free. If you heaven,
you got many shackles, many wastes bearing out on you.
Rama's ten nine says that if thou shall confess with
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your
(44:54):
heart that God has raised his son Jesus from the dead,
thou shall be saved. So the first thing you need
to do is admit, admit that you are a sinnered
You see, all of us have sins. Ramast three ten says,
as it is written, there is none righteous, no not once.
You need to be willing to repent that it's a
turn from your sins. You need to believe that Jesus
(45:16):
Christ died for you, that he was buried and he
rose from the dead. Ramas ten ten says for with
the heart, man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation. So through prayer, right now,
right ever you are, through prayer, you can invite Jesus
to come into your life to become your personal savior.
(45:38):
You see, this is the first step. You see, you
got to invite him to come into your life to
become your savior before he could be lord over your life.
Rama's ten thirteen says, for whosoever shall call upon.
Speaker 5 (45:50):
The name of the Lord shall be saved.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
I thank God, I am a whosoever. What about you?
I thank God, I am a whosoever. So you can
say this prayer after me right now, right now, and
be serious. Don't play with this word.
Speaker 5 (46:05):
Be serious. Dear God. I am a sinner and I
need forgiveness. I believe that.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Jesus Christ shared his precious blood and died on the
cross for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin.
I now invite Christ to come into my heart and
life as my personal savior. If you just did that,
(46:34):
if you just prayed that prayer of salvation with me,
if you trusted Jesus as your person savior, my sister,
my brother, you just be got a wonderful new life
in him. Praise God. I thank you, and not all
ado I thank you. Praise God for you. But guess what,
all the angels in heaven are rejoiced. And write this
very moment, Write this very moment. Heaven stood fear because
(46:56):
you accept the Christ as you'll save you and He
is given you in new life. Now you need to
get a good Bible and read it every day to
get to know Jesus better. Talk to God in prayer,
meditate on his word day and night. Stop allowing negative
thoughts to penetrate your mind, and stop speaking negative things.
Then you need to get baptized and worship and schelarships
(47:18):
and serves other brothers and sisters in a local church
where Christ is preached and the Bible is the finner authority.
And guess what, don't forget to tell somebody else about Jesus.
Speaker 5 (47:29):
Don't be selfless what he's done for you.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
He can certainly he will certainly gladly do for someone
else a man. Let us pray, Let us pray, Heaven,
the Father. We come to you right now, Dear God,
thanking you, Lord God for your word.
Speaker 5 (47:42):
Dis God.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
Forth, we thank you Father for souls that have just
come crying out to you, Lord, that had given your
lives to you. We thank you Father, and your words
have been in charity to somebody in Lord God. Lord,
we thank you Father. Somebody now know that they can
be free of everything, Lord God, that he who the
Son has set free is free. Indeed, Lord God, somebody somewhere,
Lord God can know that the minds do not need
(48:04):
to be entangled with the yoke of bodies, but they
can go out and be truly free in You and
the name of Jesus, Lord God. We thank you, Lord
God for using this vessel. We thank you, Lord God
