Our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and help us rid of that burden. Hallelujah, I praise you. Oh, Lord! I praise you with all of my soul. Oh, Lord. Let us not.

Thank you, Lord. Thank you may be seated today. Hallelujah. The title of my messages, his benefits. And what a fitting song to intro the message with today. Oh, Lord, hallelujah, his benefits coming from Psalm 103 1 through 5.
Bless the Lord. Oh my soul and all that is within me. Bless His holy name. Bless the Lord. Oh my soul. And forget, not all of his benefits. Who forgiven all thine iniquity. Who sealed all the diseases who read demuth? I like from destruction who crown and see with loving kindness and Tender Mercies. Who satisfy of the mouth with good things? So they use is renewed like the eagles. Hallelujah. You know, I like the way that David begins this song, he begins at the same way, we should start our day and anything we do in life Lord. When you wake up and get out of bed, the Lord before you eat, before you drive down the road or go away. And when you come back bless the Lord, when you're on the job, is the Lord's. When speaking to the sinner on the streets, bless the Lord in the world, where people blow themselves up in fly into skyscrapers in a world. When people don't know who, or what they are in a world where people kill themselves with drugs and alcohol, and children are more afraid of their parents than the man on the street outside. If you're blessed the world. The world will see a miracle.
Verse when it says, oh my soul. Oh my soul. My soul. You can't blame the devil. You can't blame your mama. You can't blame your papa, your pastor, your ex. You can't blame the world for your loss of victory in this light.
You are the one.
Who like David must Shake Yourself. And say, bless the Lord. Oh. Oh my my, my my soul. Oh, my soul.
Saints, when I was, Young before Christ. And when I was young and Christ, I struggled with some Temptations and I still do No one can really understand. Only God. And myself could.
so, in an attempt to remind myself, what I needed to do in the midst of Temptation, While in a cool year. Sound unclouded Minds by Temptation, how to have a short conversation with myself and the conversation kind of went like this.
Hey, Stephen. Are you stupid? Don't mess up your life. Don't mess up. Your career. Don't mess up your future. Don't mess up. Your job. Don't disappoint your parents. Don't blow all that hard-earned money. For only a short short moment of pleasure.
It went on and I like that. And I can't tell you how many names I've called myself over the years. Anytime I was tempted to sin, I would go back to that conversation.
And plead to myself. Not to make the same mistake again. Hi. and most likely you like David. Now shaking. Oh my soul. Oh my soul. Forget, not all of his benefits.
Which leads us to verse 2. Forget not all of his benefits you see benefits, or like Goodwill. Luke 2:14 says, peace and goodwill toward men Romans 8:28 says, and we know that all things work together for the good to them, that love God, to them, who are the called to his purpose.
you think God is in some big old giant in the sky throwing lightning bolts down at you but he could He made you. And he wants to finish you. He wants you mowed it. He wants you to be like him. He is giving you all the benefits. He has given you his Goodwill.
He is behind you and he wants you to prosper. We must Shake ourselves when we get into that run with my shake ourselves, when we see is heading down in that direction. We must remember his goodness. We must remember his intentions. His intentions.
Let's the adversaries, naira.
And that's what church is all about. That's what church is all about. That's what prayer time is all about. That's what Bible time is. All about reminding ourselves. Shaking ourselves. Ended knowledge in him. And his goodness towards us.
Which brings us to verse three in the scripture for given all of the high in equities. Who heal it all by diseases. You see, iniquities will place as as Sin will safe. Is our failures, is the Injustice of the world. The sinful things that we don't like to talk about. But yet, in our quiet time, they come rolling back to our minds. It's the sinful things that we are ashamed of the things that we did that. You really shouldn't have done it disappoints. God, it's answer points. You it just disappoint your parents.
It's like lying. It's like cheating. It's like stealing, it's like murdering. It's like getting drunk his homosexuality. The world is full of it and we come to church to remind ourselves to shake ourselves from those things.
I don't know. You are rap sheets, but I know mine.
But he's forgiven you.
for whatever it was, he has forgiven you You see, it's all under the blood. It's all under the blood. Jesus Christ died on the cross for the Forgiveness of our sins.
If we are waking up smiling every day, there's saying bless the Lord. When we wake up, what are we thinking about?
Thinking about herself. How am I going to get up in the morning? How am I going to get dressed? How am I going to drive this? The car going to make it to work today? All the things I got to do to excel in life due to excel in my job.
What a benefits.
But in verse 3, it says who he was all night diseases, Diseases. Sickness of the Mind. Sickness of the heart. Sickness of the soul. And I think that's where this country has a problem. Right now, that's what's missing in the people today was brought on into the world.
The sin is destroyed. So can the sickness be?
It not only makes her so sick. But I truly believe it makes our heart sick. Mental disorders. Think about it. There is only man. There is no only woman. That's what God created. What you are is what you are. I am. Who I am, says the Lord. Do you are understand how God Made You?
You see the man cuz that's the Legion of demons. He was sick.
When the city was gone.
The word a demon. How many times did Jesus heal someone and also forgave them of their sins?
James 5:15 in the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he had committed sins, they shall be forgiven of him. 2nd Timothy 1:7 says, give us a sound mind. Corinthians 11, 29 says, for he, that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh Damnation to himself.
Not Discerning the Lord's body.
And it goes on for this cause many are weak. It's sickly among you. And many sleep.
I'm not saying every time we get sick, it's because something something we've done. But that's in called sickness to come into this world. And it is Christ. Remove sin, sickness can be removed, also. What a benefits. My God Church. Think about it. Go home and read this song.
British forces destruction to crowned.
Destruction means of pits. Apendice, hope listed in every direction except up.
And there's only one way out of a b, then it's up.
You can see it. You can see the light, you can see the sun, you can see the clouds, you can feel the rain but you can't reach it.
And I could never reach that Mark as a sinner. I found a seat in every direction I turned.
Until Jesus Christ down into the pits.
It pulled me out.
He can or he did that for you also.
The song he brought me up out of the Miry clay. Any set my feet on the Rock to stay?
You know, I played that song church early and I knew people would hear it. I knew they would recognize the chorus.
And the feet started tapping in the hand started clapping. There's nothing like those old times songs that get to us. Drowning scene with loving kindness and Tender Mercies.
Grounded to you. And I Is honor. It's glory. It's victory.
And no doubt we've all been given that.
