foreign foreign [Music] [Music] is [Music] you may take your seats your brothers and sisters we will be happy [Music] because they live in this time where many things are offered to them there are many different things uh thoughts and information is being presented to them but we must pray and intercede for them all individually [Music] and from every age from the very youngest to the oldest the lord is guiding all of us and therefore it's important that we pray that we pray and and we i think all brothers and sisters that came with us this to this service you know i shared in orlando that i bought earphones so i bought these they were a little more pricier but they transferred the sound through without going inside the ear and when we uh bring our children to church maybe some of them fall asleep pastor paul mentioned that they they have so much energy they're excited they want to jump but how important it is that we bring him into the house of the lord you know when we're planning our vacations for us to make them plan them on other days and maybe adjust our schedules in order to make sure our children are able to make it to youth services and maybe make some other adjustments in order to uh serve the children in sunday school the devil lies in one way and he says uh the following words to us that it's a waste of time experiences thank you but i would like to share from experience one hundred percent should say investment just because more so it is an investment the more we invest into our children the more we invest in our teens and into our youth and also never forget to pray for them may the lord bless you [Music] you [Music] me [Music] me [Music] my [Music] [Music] is [Music] oh [Music] is [Music] is [Music] oh oh [Music] is [Music] so praise god brothers and sisters it is an honor and privilege to be standing here before you today and with the time that i have if chase uh i'm going to try to uh deliver the message that i intend to deliver that god put on my heart but um i would like to just quick short prayer because i need to summarize the content that i have prepared to deliver today father god i thank you for this opportunity to stand before your people father god and i pray that you give me the knowledge the wisdom the understanding lord to deliver the word that you have prepared in order for the people to receive so that it may build up and may edify encourage and bring comfort into our lives jesus i ask you by your holy spirit speak through me and let them receive with good soil in jesus name we pray amen you may take your seats so i will attempt to tie the first and the second message uh together to the best of my ability it just so happened that uh our brother kiwi he shared on a topic that is similar to one that i i would have liked that i was planning on sharing the main point of that would be that by faith we have access to the power of life in the resurrection of jesus or what jesus has done for us meaning that if we step into what he has done for us we can begin to live that weightless life as kiwi said stupid me and with that he overcame the grave which means sin and death he overcame it he says on the cross he said it is finished and so sin and death no longer have a hold on us why because he was victorious so then the question stands do we believe then in the power of the resurrection do we believe that there is a power over sin do we actively attempt to step into that victory and walk out just like apostle paul says in romans 8 to walk in the spirit and not fulfill the desires of the that jesus has already won the victory has already been accomplished and it is finished even and we have access to that power to overcome the sins and the trials and the tribulations and temptations and i want to read from hebrews chapter 10. uh touch on a couple verses in that section previously sacrifice and offerings burnt offerings offerings for sin you did not desire nor had pleasure in them which were offered according to the law then he said behold i have come to do your will o god he takes away the first so that he may establish the second this is referring to jesus by by then by that we we have been sanctified through the offering of the body body of jesus christ once and for all and every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices which can never take away sins but this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever sat down at the right hand of god from that time waiting till his enemies were made his footstool for one offering he has he has perfected forever those who have who are being sanctified but the holy spirit also witnesses to us for after he had said before this is the covenant that i will make with them after those days says the lord i will put my laws in their hearts and in their minds i will write them then he adds their sins and their lawless deeds i will remember no more now where now where there is remission of these there is no longer an offering for sin therefore brethren having the boldness to enter the holiest by the blood of jesus by a new and a living way which we have which he has consecrated for us through the veil that is his flesh and having a high priest over the house of god let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith having our hearts sprinkled from our evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water and you don't you don't have to read from that it's a long section but in this verse it speaks about what jesus has done when he came what what exactly he did for us and enabled us by that will we have been sanctified through the offering in the body of jesus christ so our sanctification meaning post salvation after our salvation our sanctification also relies on the sacrifice of jesus christ and so also in in similar similar uh verse in uh it's verse 14 it says it says for one by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified and so here we see that it's an active process of sanctification and so verse 22 it says let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water and so we see here that we must draw near in full assurance by faith in order for this process to take place you know sometimes we have the faith necessary for our salvation but oftentimes we don't have the faith necessary for our sanctification as if as if maybe jesus needs a little bit more help that he did not fully accomplish it all on the cross but the truth lies in the fact that the power is already given the truth is already there now we must step into it by faith and allow that power to begin that work in us you know it's almost as if it's almost as if we uh lost my train of thought it's almost it's almost as if we um think that that we aren't doing enough but if we remember at the moment of our salvation was there anything that we did or did not do uh specific you know in order to be worthy of that salvation yes it was as that verse said it's that we came near to him and and he gave us that grace and mercy and we were able to step into something and so in sanctification it's a similar process when we are near to him and we are seeking after him building our relationship with him it says by his spirit our conscience is being purified and cleansed apostle paul says a verse that pertains to this apostle second corinthians chapter 12 verse 9 he says and he said to me my grace is sufficient for you for my strength is made perfect in weakness and so and so we see that apostle paul actually notices that when it's not what he when he excels at what he's doing that he is able to the grace is sufficient for him meaning that every what jesus did one time he did it was enough from the moment of his salvation to the end of his race of his journey and if you notice what causes the power of christ to rest on him in this world it's actually when he is openly openly surrendering and admitting he is weak but it goes to the one who is doing the good work inside of you glory belongs to him and so how do we test if we are truly being sanctified by faith and walking in good works and it is when we look back at me personally you know when i look back and i see what christ has done in me and through me that i cannot even boast for a single thing but can only think and praise jesus in which his power is at work in me and it is that that work that power that was worth at work in me that produced that fruit it's absolutely said and only that it's a tiki and so we overcome the top and i want to close everything out and just bring us uh to prayer and i want to close on this thought brother roman shared in his word uh believe and so we see maybe another person as he shared in his uh sermon a neighbor a friend a relative you know instead of pointing a finger at them telling me they need to do this and they need to do that and they're like this and they're like that something like that because you know that he will be able to make that work a reality in their lives it is me to deliver the good news to the people for the salvation of souls by love in order to bring them into the kingdom of god supreme [Music] and you know maybe we're in a place in our lives where we're uh there's a place in scripture that says um to not run in vain and to not toil in vain let us not run in vain and toil in and so we as believers we may find ourselves in our lives we're trying to do everything we can running and working out putting all the effort in we can often times what we need is found in jesus christ it is a very simple answer that requires our faith by delivered is that jesus was sent jesus christ in order for you to overcome be victorious to receive everything that he has in store for you but are we willing to stretch forth our hearts to him and understand that it is only him by his blood teaching his sacrifices do we want to live for christ's church we want to dedicate our lives solely to him we want everything that we do to know when we look back that was jesus christ i was rid of that addiction because of christ i am no longer in pain because of christmas father god we thank you lord jesus for this time for this day for this opportunity lord to stand before you we thank you for the victory that you have given us on the cross lord that you have overcame that you have fulfilled you have fulfilled what was what we were not able to do lord we as people we have as men and women lord here on earth we were not able to to fulfill what we needed lord to be saved so that our souls would be in eternity with you lord god but we thank you jesus for your sacrifice for your coming to this earth lord for the blood that was shed and poured out for us jesus that we may be able to step into this victory that you did not just die and remain in the grave lord but you were victorious over the grave and sin and death remains in that grave lord but you have resurrected and let us take this faith lord let us let us receive the faith lord that needed in order to step into this victory lord we want to be resurrected with you jesus christ we want to apply the power of your resurrection in every area of our lives lord if there are people in addiction in this place jesus i pray you free them of those addictions lord i pray if there are people in depression or anxiety father god i pray that there be no depression or anxiety jesus i pray that if anybody is in any turmoil financially lord in their families lord in their relationships if there is unforgiveness if there is bitterness if there is hatred god i bind them in jesus mighty name and i tell them to leave and they have no authority here in the church of christ father god we with power and authority will proclaim the gospel of your kingdom lord and its freedom in jesus mighty name church let us just step into it with faith let us receive what christ has given us he has given it to us freely by by his grace and his mercy though we are undeserving he has done it anyways and therefore we must take this privilege take this opportunity to step into it boldly and begin to carry the gospel begin to carry the truth and be filled so filled with christ that people around us will be transformed and shaken by the power and the presence of the almighty god that lives in us in jesus name we pray amen foreign is your church is the time we'll pray for our needs if you maybe send us your note or maybe
