IF YOU DONT CRY YOU WILL DIE

HELP IN THE CITY

DUET. 22:23-27

Deuteronomy 22:23-27 (KJV) 23  If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; 24  Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you. 25  But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die: 26  But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter: 27  For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.

WE FIND IN OUR TEXT TWO WOMEN WHO WAS BETROTHED OR ENGAGED TO MARRY

BOTH WAS ATTACKED

IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES.

ENGAGEMENT SHOULD BE A TIME OF ANTICIPATION AND EXCITEMENT.

A TIME OF MAKING PLANS FOR THE FUTURE ETC..

#1) LADY WAS ATTACKED IN THE CITY AND WAS FOUND WITH ANOTHER MAN

GOD SAID SHE WAS TO BE STONED TO DEATH WITH THE MAN.

V24 BECAUSE SHE CRIED NOT, BEING IN THE CITY.

HER SILENCE SAID SOMETHINGS LIKE:

MAYBE SHE WAS CONSENTING

MAYBE IT WAS FEAR, INTIMIDATION

WHATEVER IT WAS, IT MADE HER GUILTY OF DEATH BECAUSE SHE WAS IN THE CITY.

IF SHE HAD LIFTED HER VOICE HER CRY WOULD’VE BEEN HEARD.

HEAR ME TODAY, HER SILENCE, MADE HER GUILTY!

I DON’T BELIEVE THIS WOMAN WAS FORCED

I THINK SHE SAW A MAN WHO FLIRTED WITH HER.

THAT’S HOW THE DEVIL ATTACKS IN THE CITY:

YOU MAKE ME LAUGH

BEEN YRS SINCE MY WIFE MADE ME LAUGH

FIND YOURSELF TALKING ABOUT THINGS YOU SHOULDN’T

YOU FLIRT WITH THE DEVIL AND HE WILL MAKE A PASS AT YOU!!

#2) WOMEN ATTACKED IN THE FIELD V25

MAN FORCED HER AND RAPED HER

SHE WASN’T WORTHY OF DEATH BECAUSE SHE CRIED OUT, BUT NOBODY COULD HEAR HER.

SITTING HERE TODAY, YOU ARE NOT IN THE FIELD.

Matthew 13:38 (KJV) 38   The field is the world…..

Hebrews 12:22 (KJV) 22  But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God……

WERE NOT IN THE FIELD TONIGHT WE ARE IN THE CITY OF THE LIVING GOD.

NOTICED, BOTH WOMEN WAS ATTACKED IN THE CITY (CHURCH) AND FIELD (WORLD)

JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE ATTACKED THE ANSWER IS NOT TO BACKSLIDE

THE ANSWER IS NOT TO GO TO THE WORLD

THE DEVIL IS NOT GOOD TO HIS OWN

HE ATTACKS THOSE IN THE FIELD JUST LIKE HE DOES THOSE IN HERE.

THAT’S WHY SUICIDE IS ALL TIME HIGH

NOT IMMUNE BECAUSE THEY ARE IN FIELD

JOHN 10:10 “THE THIEF COMETH NOT BUT FOR TO, STEAL, KILL AND TO DESTROY”

LEAVING CHURCH WONT SOLVE THE PROBLEM

BACKSLIDING SHOULD NOT BE AN OPTION.

MANY THINK “IF I GO TO THE FIELD I’LL FIND PEACE, AND ATTACK WILL BE OVER”

THE DEVIL ISNT GOOD TO HIS OWN

THE DEVIL WANTS YOU TO FEEL LIKE NOBODY CARES

THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE’S TELLING THOSE IN THE FIELD.

HE WANTS THEM HOOKED ON PORNOGRAPHY

HE WANTS YOU HOOKED ON PORNOGRAPHY

THE DEVIL WANTS TO MAKE YOU AN IMMORAL, LOWLIFE

YOU KNOW TOO MUCH & FELT TO MUCH TO ENJOY THE FIELD

THE DEVIL ATTACKS IN THE CITY AND IN THE FIELD, BUT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE

WHEN YOUR ATTACKED IN THE CITY THERE IS HELP FOR YOU, IF YOU’LL LIFT UP YOUR VOICE

IT’S NOT TIME TO PUT YOUR BEST FACE ON AND ACT LIKE EVERYTHING IS OK

ITS TIME TO LIFT UP YOUR VOICE AND CRY OUT!

YOUR CRY WILL BE HEARD, YOUR IN THE CITY!

IT BOTHERS ME SO MUCH TO SEE PEOPLE BACKSLIDE SILENTLY.

YOU KNOW YOUR DRIFTING BUT YOUR NOT CRYING OUT

YOU KNOW YOU HAVE SECRET SIN, BUT YOUR NOT CRYING OUT.

CRY OUT AND YOU WILL BE RESCUED

WE ARE BETROTHED TO JESUS CHRIST

WE ARE ESPOUSED TO JESUS CHRIST

WE ARE ENGAGED TO JESUS CHRIST

THERE IS A WEDDING DATE IN MY FUTURE

IMAGINE: A WOMAN ENGAGED TO A MAN AND SOME OTHER MAN TRIES TO PUT HIS HANDS ON HER.

IF SHE’S THE WOMAN SHE OUGHT TO BE, HER FIST WILL BE BALD UP, AND KICKING, SCREAMING:

GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME

DON’T TOUCH ME, IM ENGAGED

GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF OF ME

SILENCE MAKES THE ONE YOUR ENGAGED TO QUESTION YOUR REAL LOVE FOR THEM.

MAKES HIM WONDER “ARE THEY REALLY FAITHFUL TO ME”

I WANT THE DEVIL TO HEAR ME:

GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME

IF YOU TOUCH ME, I’LL CRY OUT

MY VOICE WILL BE UPLIFTED

SILENCE MAKES YOU GUILTY OF DEATH

THE DEVIL IS FIGHTING YOU AND YOU KNOW IT, BUT YOU GOT YOUR BEST FACE ON

YOU DON’T WANT NOBODY TO KNOW WHY YOUR CRYING SO LOUD

YOU HAVE 2 OPTIONS:

YOUR GONNA CRY OR

YOUR GONNA DIE

YOUR IN THE CITY!!!!

THERE IS HELP IN THE CITY, BUT YOU GOT TO CRY OUT!

CRY, HELP!!! JESUS HELP ME

JESUS I WANT YOU TO KNOW, I’M NOT CONSENTING TO THIS ATTACK

I’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT QUITING---CRY “HELP”

CLAPPING HANDS IS GOOD

RUNNING IS FINE

BUT YOU GOT TO LIFT UP YOUR VOICE AND CRY.

DON’T BACKSLIDE SILENTLY!!!

MANY IN N.T WAS IN THE PRESENCE OF JESUS AND NEVER WAS HEALED

MANY DID BECAUSE THEY LIFTED UP THERE VOICE

Luke 17:11-14 (KJV) 11  And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12  And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13  And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14  And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

BROTHER B. I WOULD BE ASHAMED TO PRAY THAT WAY.

THAT PRIDE OR INTIMIDATION COULD MAKE YOU WORTHY OF DEATH.

YOUR WORRIED ABOUT WHAT “OTHERS” THINK ABOUT YOU

WHAT DOES THE ONE YOUR ENGAGED TO THINK

CRY OUT:

SAVE ME JEUSS

TAKE THE LOVE FOR THE WORLD AWAY FROM ME

RENEW ME IN THE HOLYGHOST

GIVE ME VICTORY OVER THIS BESETTING SIN

PETER WALKING ON THE WATER

Matthew 14:30 (KJV) 30  But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

HE DIDN’T WORRY ABOUT HOW IT SOUNDED

HE DIDN’T WORRY ABOUT HIS PRIDE

HE JUST CRIED “LORD, SAVE ME”

IS THERE A BARTIMAUS HERE?

ARE YOU TIRED OF BEING BLIND?

PRIDE WILL TELL YOU TO SIT THERE AND ACT LIKE YOU CAN SEE

PRIDE WILL TELL YOU, ACT LIKE THIS PROBLEM ISNT REAL

BARTIMAUS CRIED “JESUS THOU SON OF DAVID, HAVE MERCY ON ME”

OTHERS SAID “DON’T LIFT YOUR VOICE”

“YOUR MAKING A SCENE”

HE CRIED THE MORE “JESUS HAVE MERCY ON ME”

WHEN YOU HEAR THOSE VOICES TELLING YOU TO BE QUITE YOU NEED TO CRY OUT MORE.
