He's like a worm. Amir magat. Somewhere. It is written that man is born once to leave and then the ones to die and then the judgement best way to said that is giving free scores and ten anything more than that is just a coupon. Jesus was talking to a group of Hypocrites and they're asking for a sign and Jesus said the queen of the soffit arising judgment with this generation and condemn, it traveled from the ends of the Earth to come to listen to the wisdom of Solomon. Someone greater than Solomon is here. These are the very Man Who Would salivate in the presence of Harold, but it could not recognize the God within their meat. In the first chapter of Exodus.

And the children of Israel ask. Please God, that you were talking about and the Lord said to Moses, I am who I am. I'm from the perspective of a Christian pedestrian. This answer seems insufficient. What God is saying? My name is, I am. An Army's a verb. Do not say I am the verb. I am not the object, I tell. I am not told. I'm the verb comes from the verb to be and to be the only firm in its category.

It means present continuous tense from one another eternity to the other. I am. And this morning, we going to look at one of the decorations, but made,

Which was just read. I'm going to say that when he when he came to Moses on the Lord Pastor before he even proclaim the Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering goodness and truth and keeping Mercy for thousands forgiving iniquity transgression and sin by no means clearing the guilty visiting the iniquity. I don't like the word punishing. Another phrase or not to punish you but I like this one visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children or children's children to the third and fourth generation. The Lord. The Lord God. But you can kiss, you. Mistaking him for one of the Lords of England, God qualifies it and he said the Lord. The Lord God is different from the other Lords. And this morning, I asked a rhetorical. He's gone. That we worship. Who is this? God, we serve. Who is this God that you seek? I submit to you ladies and gentleman that he is the Alpha and Omega. The beginning, and the end the first and the last and there is no one like him. None before him. None besides him known after him. He has no advisors no counselors. New board of directors. Have these extraordinary features of him in the 6 chapter of Isaiah

In the year King Uzziah died. I said the prophet. I saw the Lord sitting on his throne and lift it up and the train of his robe filled the temple. Anna Barbie movie seraphim. Each had six rings. Two wings of the word. Each had six wings with two. He covered his face with two covered his feet and move to. He flew And one cried out to the other. Holy holy, holy is the Lord of hosts. The whole Earth is filled with his DNA. The whole Earth is filled with his glory. Isaiah said, the doorpost Where I Stood shoot from his voice and the place was filled with smoke. And I said to myself on Dawn, because I am a man of unclean lips and I leave among the people on my eyes. Have seen the king, the Lord of hosts, who is this Isaiah is referring to who is this?

He is the Lord of lords. He's the monarch of the vast expanse of the galaxies. He created all things.

All seems like he's all things are beneath his feet is in his hand, and he has to make great time to give strength to. All, he has never lost a war. It is impossible for him to fail. He's a god of Victory. Always Victory is my Imperial Majesty. He's the lion of Judah, The Shepherd of Israel, he will let Joseph like a flock. He will redeem their brain. He's the Ancient of Days, the change of a ginger. The wonderful counselor. Mighty God, the Prince of Peace, the Everlasting father, he's the one who is the one? Who was the one? He's the bread out of shut-eye. The Lord God Almighty, the god that is more than enough. No. Or sufficiency the god of miracles signs and wonders the inexhaustible. God! The god whose power has no measure of comparison. God of Limitless boundless possibilities as 250 million ways of solving your problems.

Yep, I hear a mummer. Someone is Whispering.

Who is this? God. We wish you. Who is this? God.

Who is this? God. Don't you see? I beg your Indulgence little children. Let me tell you a little bit about my God.

He's self-sufficient. Self-existent is eternal infinite. Immortal immutable, Invincible Spirit, we fall Perfections in himself. He's exceedingly exceedingly, great himself with honor and majesty and as Putin a light as a damning indeed, he's the Father of Lights in whom there is no variableness. I'm from whom proceed if every good and perfect gift. He's the one, the true. The only the Blessed potent is the king of King and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality in the light, which no man can approach unto, which doing my not seen, nor shall see. Who all won searchable is his wisdom on the council and designs of. It cannot be fathomed is understanding is infinite for he tell the number of stars and call them each by their names or the depths of the wisdom and knowledge of my God, how one? Such a bill are his judgments and his ways past finding out his sovereignty is on contestable and he's the absolute absolute load over in the armies of Heaven. I don't know how many tons of Earth and none can stay to him. Why US dollar? Hawaii. Do it snow soon. He's Dominion is an everlasting dominion and his kingdom is from generation to generation. His power is irresistible and the operation cannot be controlled, all power belongs to him and to him. Nothing is impossible. He's a god of unspotted Purity and poofa cricked. You'd he's holy, his truth is inviolable and the treasures of his goodness in exhaustible, when we can see all that, we could possibly see about the divine Is divine nature. The Glorious Perfection of his divine nature. We still fall infinitely, infinitely, short of the merits of the subject will hold it. Let me know, and how little we understand office, Transcendence power. Whoever alamy said why did Sarah law? Is there anything too difficult for the Lord? Jeremiah behold. I am the god of All Flesh. Nothing is too difficult for me. So, terrifying was excited. Mount Sinai. That Moses said I am exceedingly afraid and trembling. ASRock Putin's rule himself in the dirt prostrated himself on the floor begging weeping, crying for repentance. These are some of the awesome God. Go to absolute power. Is also a god of outstretched arms. That brings me to the second declaration that he's a god of mercy and Grace and love. I don't want to spend too much time on the second declaration. Because we are all acquainted with that subject.

But Chris is any man who's Neil on the tree came and took on the cross for us at the best and given to Abraham befallen, to the Gentiles. Receive the presents the power down on the function of the Holy Ghost. But he condescended though, he was rich became Paul. Those of us who are poor. Might become rich, but he suffered many things in the hands of the chief priests and scribes on the elders was crucified and was buried. The food. Do you roast a game? Joseph cut into scripture, spoke to the man on the way up. You may, I ask you a cartoon. Revealed himself to the parcels of many in fallible, proofs, ascended, into heaven, made Lord, and Christ. But you see that the right hand of the father making intercession for confession, what Paul said in the twentieth chapter I believe is the Easter 3859 verse 8 chapter of Romans Then I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities nor powers nor things. That will be not things that we're not height nor depth nor any other creature shall separate us from the love of God, which we have in Christ Jesus. I don't want to mention free John 3:16 to you and you know, that's not the Third. Declaration in the passage which is God, is long suffering is long suffering. What do we understand by the word long-suffering? It means forbearance. But what does forbearance mean? It means patients. But what does patient mean to us? One man, patience, is what sitting on the porch, drinking a glass of iced tea with waiting for things to happen. I'm going to give you 5 minutes if you don't show up in 5 minutes, I'm out of here. But what does fission mean to Lord?

In the 9th, verse of the third chapter of 2nd Peter, the Lord said the Lord is not slack. Concerning his promise about some count slackness long-suffering towards us. Not willing that any should perish but that org org. Org should come to repentance.

So, he's long-suffering. What that means is that he's going to put you on the potter's wheel.

Hot sauce on the potter's wheel is going to do more or less fashion as Crafters Farmers into his Divine workmanship.

Dedicated in Christ Jesus unto good works which he has before ordained. That we should walk in them. Why, why is he doing that? That we may walk in his righteousness? That we may become ambassadors of God. That we may have the mind of Christ and be imitators of God. I've been godliness is profitable unto all things and being thoroughly equipped for every good work. Why is it doing that?

We may carry out the Great Commission.

How come it's not Souls from the fire?

That ain't trying to refashion us into the image of his son.

so he's going to work on us and then we go to Hebrews. Very, very interesting passage. That's long-suffering means discipline. And you have forgotten the excitation, which speaks to you. As two sons. My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord. Not be discouraged when you are. Rebukes by him. When do Lord look for whom, the Lord loves he chastens and scourges scourges. Every son, whom he, he, he rebukes seems to be joyful for the present but painful. Pan pan food. Nevertheless, afterward. It heals. The Peaceable fruit of righteousness, to those who have been trained by,

So God's discipline is painful.

C.s. Lewis. In his book, the problem of pain. Said God Whispers to us in our pleasures. Speaks you know what conference, what shouts in our pains? It is his megaphone to Rose a death world.

so, when you guys are in my discipline is painful,

I'm going to give you a person example. About God, disciplining his children.

Because we talked about this subpoena Lord for the manifestation of that discipline is very important that we are able to identify when disciplines manifests when the discipline is being manifest. He's in

7th chapter of 2nd Chronicles and God is visiting Solomon in a dream. Is about to have a contract with Covenant in agreement with Solomon in his dream. That's why you should pay attention to your dreams. And then the Lord appeared onto Solomon by night, not not at Night, by by night, Unset to him. I have heard your prayer. On have. Dedicated this place for myself as a house house of sacrifice, when I shut up the Heavens on, there is no rain, economic problems. Socio-economic problems, that's what it means. Symbolic off, anxiety, and depression, When I send pestilence among my people sickness, disease and infirmity. If my people are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face. Then will I hear from him?

How to forgive your sins will not heal. And this is how God disciplines his children to the free. Manifestation of discipline is socio-economic anxiety, and depression, meant mental issues. all sickness infirmities and in

disease. Some strange in it. Why would a righteous good? Do something like that.

He's begging you that's the problem. He's, we whispered to you further than a like like c.s. Lewis if you whisper, you don't hear so now he's trying to get your attention cuz he loves you so much and the hell is worse than a little paint on Earth.

Unlimited ammo. She said something very similar Nemesis well.

Josue, give you clean. Lots of teeth in all your city's. A lot of bread goes, giving his children lack of bread. What bread in all your lives, yet, you have not returned to me. Since the Lord, I also withheld rain from you economic problems.

When Dale was still free months to the Harvest, I made it rain on the one city, I withheld rain from another city. One pack had a hard rain and where it did not occur in the pot, with the other part was held to two or three cities wanted to another city to drink water. They were not satisfied yet. You have not returned to me, says the Lord economic problems, anxiety and depression. Sickness and disease. You put a spirit of discipline on you. So you could come to him.

Look at what David said.

They essentially said, pain is good.

Symptoms verse of the 119th chapter Sam. David said it was good. That I was afflicted. Heard someone say that I was afflicted 123 it was good. That I was afflicted. Again. It was good. That I was afflicted again it was good. That I was afflicted, why?

Amen. Amen, shut up. I mean know his decrees which is his words. That's what David said, the word of your mouth. I better to meet than five thousand pieces of gold and silver. It would ease a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path by the entrance of your would bring lines. That the spirit gives life, The Flash comes for nothing to the words. You speak unto me India. Life understood. Pain is good.

I hear people talk about how he died in his sleep last night. This is so wonderful. Sometimes, the best way to dice the dice suffering in the hospital bed. Is that what you call me in a minute with God? That's where you cry unto him. While you are in that bed, you seek him. Because what's more important with your life being saved and a little pain on Earth, Romans 8:29 for whom he foreknew. You're so pretty spent to be conformed into the image of God. Don't discipline things to confirm us into his image and when he whispers and we do not pay attention, then he's going to bring the pain.

Penny's good said this and I'm not smiling David. So Abdul and I want to talk about one more thing and unforgiveness leads to jail.

No, we don't talk about physical to jail, to talk about spiritual energy, and we talkin about discipline discipline, God is disciplining his children, so they become any confirmed into his image. In Matthew 18th chapter. Remember when when, when Peter asked about forgiveness and he said 77 +, 70 * 7 *

So then he's mastered summon him and said to him. You Wicked servant. I forgave you all that that because you pleaded with me and should not you see on your fellow servant. So I had mercy on you and I need, I need anger. His master delivered him to the to the who

Who won the jailers. Aragon.

Certainly not certainly not.

We know their Spirits because God is a spirit incorporating Spirit, we know is a spirit of discipline. Hand you over to the jail?

This is a system real picture I got from chat, g54, Lily margination, you know ya ninety-nine percent but it's a field. I want you to see what happens when you have unforgiveness in your heart or all repented scene.

Independence, verse of the 12th, chapter of revelation will learn how Satan operates, his accuser of the brethren Who accused in court. Thank you, sir. Thank you the prosecutor. He's the prosecutor in the courts of Heaven. And he's very successful at it.

Cuz he thought you'd up another profession by now, he's very successful. 10 years old. and, Comes to the Georgia. Georgia, Georgia keeps his word. He's word set. According to Matthew, 18, if you have one forgiveness, you hand you over to the jail.

So the holy spirit is on your side, Jesus is on your side, is your advocate. he's willing to help you and they are talking to you and your mind, you need to forgive, you need to forgive but you would not forgive the podcast is called and they hand you over to the jealous because you refuse to forgive

No, you having problems because of unforgiveness.

Do we live in the world? And Jesus said, in this world, you have a lot of trouble. So you might be a good Christian because your good Christian you will be attacked on the cross so you get to God is the more you will be attack. What are some attacks? Which we brought another one. Sounds because of unforgiveness and unrepented sins.

I know this is might be hard to watch, you guys can see it. Well, And what God Did In, this passage is unique. He's separated.

Trespa season categories. Because he sent iniquity. I'm transgressions.

When you see a sequence, you know, it's different things. Play categories. So you have ordinary scene. Equalizer is running is driving his lawnmower. I need lawn mower blade, Touchstone. I'm not too perfect word may come out from his mouth. that's an ordinary scene, didn't mean to do it, but it came out Hudson don't know soon as you seem to change to be as well for all Tran trespasses. But in this case, got places in categories. What to do. If an ordinary seem like, you just say, Lord, I repent for my sins. Please forgive me. And that's done. That's all you need to do. Then you have transgressions. And transgressions are those trespasses which you do with other people.

Guy come to your smoke a joint. Before you know it you're taking something out of them joints, you ain't an agreement together. You're doing it with all the people to young people shocking off. That the transgression. It's a guy in a rebellious Behavior against God, but you don't hate Jimmy, just in Rebellion. That's what friends Gresham. How do you do you, repent. But you must break that Soul tie.

If your mom lives with a prostitute, the spirit of the prostitute is on him.

What's a soul-tie? You came into agreement buddy, some on body suit like David and Jonathan.

A man and a woman married become involved in sinful. Things of other people, you have entered into an agreement and Unholy on Godly agreement and you must break it up.

Then you have any cooties. It's not like regular scene. These are people who hate God. I'm going to show you passages that God use the term, hit those who hit him. Anime quties. A people are involved in idolatry. I'm at Dollar Tree, there are so many categories of idolatry, witchcraft Voodoo odia secret societies.

Seances Pixies, vaccines curses. numerology palm reading 5th Street in

God's tarot cards. Dream catchers.

Hello. But God is saying, these are people Doctor against him with war against him because they are now a, which is an enemy of the camp. That's why you should I suffer not a witch to live.

God is looking at this category of trespassing cause it iniquity because they are Waging War against him. Sexual immorality falls in the camp as well.

I need to look at the history of Israel. Israel was never in trouble. Never in trouble, unless they was iniquity in the count.

Always the end up in slavery, the end up playing types of taxis to others because of iniquity.

Pedo sexual scenes. Witchcraft scenes. Oh, murder. Like Soul when he murdered the gibeonites and he caused the famine in Israel. Akon. When he took the gold, taking the ball was not an equal iniquity. Taking the goal was a transgression but he hid the gold in a proof of divination and Witchcraft proof. I'm so Israel off the wall and Joshua is buff

just having one cloth that belongs to the enemy will make you lose your wall. How do you get rid of iniquitous? Where you have to renounce? It certainly is not just on the repentance, it is. So is so grevious, the god that you can adjust diarrhea pants. Now, you have to renounce, you have to say, I'm separating myself from this, right? I didn't have to break a soul-tie that which you went to that psychic, you visit and give you that little stone that you have in your bag. The lot of Christians. Now, a lot of Christians the Christians but it's still go to psychic. They still have little stones in the bag. They still Bernardino hers that still doesn't work. You understand. You want board hates that stuff. I'm so you have to renounce, you have to repent, and you have to break the soul, tie with that with that with that which that you went to visit.

I'm up telling you that. Out of some basic, understanding of the text. I'm telling you guys based on experience.

Moving the Bible one insane. The Lord recently. I've been employed me into the ministry of Deliverance.

Can I can give you a kitchen, where in the Bible talks about visiting the iniquity of the fathers unto. The children's children, it is not a generational, curses generational discipline, I'm sitting at rustic, know if you have things patterns in your family that you observe Some people have a certain disease in the family, some family, the men, none of them 60, they all die, some family there. Suicide in that lineage. They are spirits of discipline. The face in the family. I did the lady and I asked why you here Should raping the bloodline rabies of sexual immorality, leave dad's raping, the bloodline that might be interested in the blood and there's incest in the Broadway and might be pedophilia in the homosexuality and you have to and I just let her to renounce repent, and ask for forgiveness, went back and asked the demon. Are you there? No. I do. You have any more legal right? To know, when I come and eat to live? I sleep all the time.

When God speaks, we have to pay attention. he's saying I'm going to put a spirit of discipline in your family until somebody renounce this stuff because it is his desire people who hated me Pizza said. I am the door. if anyone enter into another door, they are all of the wicked one. I am the door. If you try to go to us to a psychic or you try to burn leaves or whatever you do, when you look at numerology astrology and make decisions, based on these things, you are not relying on Jesus. I am the door. Open, wonder, why did Jesus call a woman or refer to a woman as a dog? The syrophoenician woman. Why would you say that? And then she said even the dogs in the scrums. Why do you say that?

I'm going to come back to why I said that but I do want to show you a few more verses may God's repeats himself and said to those who hate me. If you want any in iniquity, you hate him, you hate him.

And he is the reason why Jesus called the woman a dog or referred to as a dog. Revelation 22:13 215, the right to the tree of life and they go through the gates into the city outside of the dogs.

Those who practice witchcraft.

Magic Arts sexual, immoral murderers.

But I don't rules and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. Jesus is speaking there and he referred to them as dogs.

I mean, or the syrophoenician. She was part of Jessie. Bells came from Jessie Bells country. Play School of Witchcraft and idolatry. People who enter into the heavens, through all the doors. And God say he hates those things.

so,

I want to end. If a couple recommendations.

Two books that I read recently that a pretty good and pretty relevant to the topic at hand.

The first is the Forgiveness project. Nepal grapefest project is. Is a study that was done by a preacher. Who collaborated with the treatment of Cancer Treatment Center of America? What this song. It's a six piece, but 60% of people who had cancer had on forgiveness.

I'm 35% serious levels of unforgiveness, I mean, grevious levels of unforgiveness. I'm going to come back. What I just said. If you're sick, Jesus said, you are in this world, you will have trouble. It's not because you have cancer. If you have one forgiveness, don't don't charge me. Until I said those things to go. Do you get to God or Satan and be after you? I think you are not having troubles. I question your Christianity, if you're not having trouble, you will have problem. What day is Tom Cruise. We created ourselves. So I'm going to come back to the book 35% off of the people with cancer in that research. High levels of on forgiveness, for the program, took them into the process where they could come to a point forgiveness and once they were able to do that, what happens with something called spontaneous remission? We did a week or month to cancel was gone.

The high level. So a lot of people are sick because of unforgiveness and then the prayer freedom. I think this is written by a man from Alabama thinking Montgomery or somewhere like that on the prayer prayer forgiveness of preference. And since I'm just asking God to heal, you still great books. I've read and I just want to make that recommendation. Thank you. Thank you. Please be seated.

Good morning.

So, I think at this point, most people are probably aware of some of my Adventures. As some of y'all are aware, I am a frequently frequent traveler to national parks and other places like that and every now and then people ask me like why. And part of the reason why is that I just see like the beauty of creation and maybe it's just the engineering me coming out, but I just think it's really cool to see all the different things that God created and all the different Anomalies and weird things, like, even seahorses, like, no male seahorses are the ones that get pregnant like who would have thought of that and that definitely not me.

I just, I think it's really awesome to see that creation and the other things there are part of it. And so I brought a couple pictures with me.

This is Sequoia National Park. Sequoia trees. Their massive, there was at least one we saw was about as big as a stage all the way around. And that's just, that's really awesome to see that. Right there is, what is a, is a bison. Not a buffalo, That's that. I had a whole conversation with a park ranger about that.

And they're finally, I think I'll know what this is. Grand Canyon. Pretty, I think nothing place like this. You're awesome. Cuz you just see how the creativity of of God and his way to see all the trees and those who see all the animals. And then finally, like things like this or just truly awesome. And I was reading in song the other day and Psalm 104. Verse 24 says, how many are your worst Lord and wisdom you made them all the Earth is full of your creatures. And you're the same God that building is Maggie thing is also built us and he made us in His image. He make a special and not only that he loved us enough to Die For Us whenever we fell away from him. And so I like 22 verse 19 or 20 and he took the bread gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them saying this is my body given to you do this in remembrance of me in the same way after the supper, he took up saying this cup is the New Covenant in my blood which is poured out for you. Just let us pray. I do have a father thank you for this day. You provide for us as opportunity, we have to see the beautiful world around us and the things that you've made and we thank you very much for making this. A special part of it, but we also thank you for the sacrifice that you gave us and that you took our sins away and Jesus name.

Let's pray again. Dear, heavenly father, thank you for the sacrifices, you made and the blood that you gave to take away our sins. And we pray that we are able to take the things we have learned about you and spread them to those around us. And it keeps reading the the gospel message to those around us in Jesus name, amen.
