Speak Life

Hey, man, let's give God a big hand of Praise. Come on. Y'all we can do better than that. Let's get in the house of the Lord this morning. How many more enjoy sitting on you this morning rejoice in the Lord again? I say rejoice you don't sometimes life just won't act right but you still got to give God praise a man. So as best as you possibly can stand to Sophina give God the biggest praise you can muster out of your belly. Let's move the roof in this place. It's 2018. Let's let him know we are here giving God praise and I'll praise will extend outside of these four walls and bless them house up in here. Hallelujah. We thank you Lord. Hallelujah, we give you praise and glory this morning. Amen. Amen. It's good to be in the house of the Lord this morning. Amen. Amen. Thank you to the praise team a man. Y'all just blessed my heart again. I say we need to Rejoice no matter what you going through. Amen. So why you standing A couple things sold in our announcements. We are going to have given statements by the end of the month. So let us know if you don't want them mailed out if you want to meet me out or you want to pick me up here at the office cuz that's really important for her for tax purposes. He got does something amazing. He said you give to the church and I'm allowed you to get it back through your taxes. How many people that realize that so you give to the church and you can take the deduction on your taxes amen. So whatever you give he going to get back to you amen and sometimes because he gives it back to you get back more than what you gave me an amen. So just keep that in mind as you praying that this year over your giving and always give with a cheerful and a joyful heart. Amen. Alright, we going to continue last week. We started this series called listen and we talked about how important it is what we hear a man. And so today we going to continue a little further and we going to talk about what we speak a man. Tell your neighbor speak. Life Speak Life, you know there's power in the tongue on you know, that old adage sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never that's the biggest lie. Amen. Some of us are still dealing with stuff Oaks of send it to us a man how they have broken our Spirits by what the words they've used. So we want to learn how to speak life. They are foundational scriptures for the for the message that they come from Proverbs chapter 18 and verse number 21 Proverbs chapter 18 verse 21, if you have your Bibles pick it up pick it up and in Proverbs chapter 18 verse 21, but we should have it on then we go get it on the screen. Let's read that together first 21 says death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit. That's some powerful stuff. Hopefully we can break that down and and when we leave out of here, we have a better understanding what God was sent us when he talked about the power of the tongue. A man without confession of faith. I want you to repeat this after me. I am not move. By what I see. about what I feel I am moved by what I believe. I believe the word of God the victory is mine. I have it now. I can see it through the eyes of my faith in Jesus name now. Let's give God one more big and the praise and you may be seated in the presence of the Lord. Amen. So a couple things for our young people don't give up. Hope we are going to have kids world. If it and we're working out something some strategic thing. So kids world will be a lot of fun now. Here's the deal.

Pastor apologizes cuz we had some situations in our kids world where Grown folks didn't do what they were supposed to do a man. And one of the things I don't like to do is disappoint kids a man Soul y'all keep on hanging in there with us. And we going to get our kids world together where it's going to be on fire a man. So I need all the adults praying because our kids are important to me a man and when when grown folks tell me they going to do something and they don't do it and they disappoint the kids and leave them hanging hanging. I have a problem. So please pray for me as I'm dealing with folks who tried to tell me they have a Ministry for kids and they don't have a Ministry for kids. Amen. Alright, I had to get that off my spirit cuz you know what? I see kids maybe like I don't trust the church, you know, then we have some issues here and we have issues because grown people are supposed to do what they say. They're going to do any man parents are supposed to do what they say. They're going to do teachers are supposed to do what they say they're going to do. Adults are supposed to do what they say they're going to do so that I can scan know what truth is a man. But when you have kids were looking at adults and adults are disappointing two of them are lying or not telling the full truth. Do we have problems? Amen? And so here at UCF, you know, we try to nip all that stuff in the bud real quick. Amen. Alright, so last week we we started with hearing hearing what we listen to and the importance of what we hear and what we listen to and how it impacts who we are and what we do. Again, I want to remind us what you listen to has gotten you to where you are now a man so it if you listen to depressing things guess what you going to be depressed if you listen to encouraging things then guess what you going to be an encourager. So what you listen to his gotten each and everyone of us whether we want to admit it or not. It's gotten each and everyone of us to where we are today. Amen. It's impressive on my heart where where to take the turkey said go back to Foundation because a lot of us are hearing things incorrectly. We can hear the preacher word and say things like I didn't get anything out of that because we're not listening a man. So when it when he said I want you to teach my people on how to listen and also what the speech see sometimes and we see in the scripture what comes out of our money out of our mouths will kill a situation. Bring light to a situation. We all know how that goes. If you tell someone they can do something. They will believe they can do it. What you speak out of your mouth impact not only on you, but the people you're speaking to a man that whole thing again. I said sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me. You try speaking something positive to someone and watch what it does and then try speaking something negative to him. Amen. So words have power till your neighbor words have power. We use our confession of faith in every time we speak out our confession of Faith that's power. I'm not moved by what I see. You. Don't people come to me all the time with pastor this and Pastor that I'm like wait a minute stop. I'm not moved by what I see. I'm not even move out what I feel cuz sometimes I can feel up and sometimes I can feel down but that doesn't change the word of God Amen. So I can't get moved by my emotions. They meant a lot of people operating the emotions and because they're operating in motion's you hit him one day and then life. Hey God is good in the next day you hit them in their life.

She can't get moved by emotions. You can't get moved by what you see. It's all and always goes back to what does the word of God say, Amen. Tell your neighbor no matter what you going through go back what the word of God says and then when you begin to see what the word of God says speak what the word of God says don't speak what the latest what they come and go. Right, you know, it's just like Diet versus this diet and the second one is just died and then his distance and then you got to do this workout program and it comes and goes but you know, it's always the same the word of God. A man and that's why when we when we have our confession of faith. I try to make sure that we were getting past all of the Ashley stuff and getting to the truth issue which is the word of God. That's what we believe in a man. Okay. So is Luke chapter 8 verse number 18 the Bible says so pay attention to how you here to those who listen to my teacher more understanding will be given and we dealt with that last week and said before those who are not listening even what they think they understand will be taken away from there now go back to it. If you weren't here last week, you can find it on faith life.com or or go back in. I think we recorded a video on Facebook live. So we have it out there. Okay. Now my wife share with me as well as I was playing a preparing the message. She said hey baby this what Martin Luther King said and I was like, wow, that's powerful. Look at what Martin Luther King said. He says our lives. Begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

See our lives begin to end when we become silent when we don't speak. Amen on the things that matter when you just let anything and everything happened and you don't speak on that thing you let stuff coming to your household and you don't speak the word of God on that thing you let messenger and problems and tribulations and sickness coming to your house and you don't speak on that thing. That's when things start to end. Does that make sense? So what so went when he said that not only in the social realm or political rant, but also in the spiritual realm if we don't speak On those things that that thing will take over your house. amen Keep in mind it's what you hear and what you speak will determine. Where you at in Christ Jesus. Does that make sense?

So speak like tell you later to Speak Life. Now you got to realize the power of your words. You got to realize the power of your work. You know what I hear people all the time saying stuff and said, why didn't mean that yes, you did.

So you can't let stuff come out your mouth and say you didn't mean that. You let it come out because you meant to say it that you wasn't ready to deal with the consequences of what you said, but you let it come out and you said it for a reason and when it came out it did what it was supposed to do it either cause damage or lifting someone up. So you meant what you said. Amen, you got to realize the power of your words and Proverbs chapter 8 verse 22 Bible says wise words satisfy come on out with the sums happening with the wise words satisfied like a good meal. Look what the Bible says the right words bring satisfaction. No, no, we got to think before we speak. Let me say that again. We got to think before we speak see sometimes we get so familiar with each other that we just say anyting Amen just because you're familiar say that it's lonely being the pastor because I'm not going to let just anybody say anything to me. And as a man and woman of God, you should be the same way. Everybody just can't say anything to you because of who you are in Christ Jesus. Does that make sense? See when you when you cut that stuff off that devil got to go somewhere else. Amen. It can't be up in your house in your space trying to ruin and take over what God has planned and purpose for you. You've got to put a stop to that. So everything can go on in your house.

since the right words bring satisfaction 7 chapter 6 verse 45 in the King James translation. It says a good man or woman out of the good Treasures of his brains for that, which is good all the time. We will come out.

But you can't hide a too long because if it's on the inside it eventually come out if you cuss, you know where you can be cute for church for a couple hours, but guess what Captain going to come out of your mouth? Hey, man, if you are a liar, you can try to keep it again. But guess what? You ain't going to come out of your mouth a man. If you are encouraged your guess what encouragement is going to come out of your mouth what's inside of you? What's in your heart is going to eventually come out. Always say Time Will Reveal everything.

Time Will Reveal everything all you got to do is give it time. I always tell people when I'm doing premarital counseling and they all excited about him or her I said give it some time.

Slow your roll.

Just cuz y'all like the same color don't mean y'all need to be getting married. I'll pass that we both like glue. That is not a reason to ask.

Time tell your neighbor Time Will Reveal everything. I was going to tell you where you are with God. Amen to see sometimes people get on fire for a little bit and then it's sort of wings. Um It's Time. Amen. The Texas a good man out of the good Treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good conversely and in the evil man out of the evil Treasures Nazi Treasures, that word is something that's important.

Yeah, I miss that you either got good Treasures. Just want to encourage someone you want to lick them up. You want to build them up good Treasures. Are you have even ones what you want to tell me how you want to feel like you're on top you want to step on any enough? Whatever is in your heart. That's your treasure. That makes sense and then people want to run around throw rocks and pretend like they innocent.

Really? Seriously, did you just throw that Boulder in here and try to pretend like you didn't do anything? Why you thought about how it was an accident? No, it wasn't. That's out of The Treasure of your heart a man heart bring for that which is evil for the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks in the New Living Translation that same text a good person hear me out a good person to have good person produces good things. Wait a minute. And don't change the Bible's a good person produces good things. So, you know if a person is good or not because they produced me good things. You can't have so much on my pastor. He all right.

Not a good thing.

Does that make sense?

out of your heart

a good person produces good things from The Treasure of a good heart in an evil person produces evil things from The Treasure of an eagle what you say from? What is in your heart? What you say flows from what is in your heart? My challenge to all of us is in 2018 to speak life into people's lives in two situations and circumstances. Cuz what you say flows from your heart and you can't change that you can't hide from that. You can lie to try to cover it up, but when it happens it is coming from your house.

Play Speak Life. See what's on the inside will come out. In Proverbs chapter 4 verse 23 the Bible says keep the heart with all diligence. For out of it are the issues of life. Whatever you going through will manifest in your hearts and whatever issues you haven't will come out.

Come on, y'all y'all need to work with me here too. Sometimes we wondering why why we were having problems with certain people out of the issues of they life is what's going to come out of their mouth and you still trying to fix folks.

Is grown folks you still trying to fix you need to turn them over to God Amen. You still trying to trying to manipulate them and change them and turn them over to God because they got issues in that are not good for you in this case because they're not speaking life into your situation.

The same translation in the New Living Translation says guard your heart above all else for it determines the course of your life. What is in your heart people tell me all the time. I love them or I'll do anything for Jesus then I look at the actions. UK love got that much and you don't spend time with him. K-LOVE. That much and you want to do what he's asking you to do out of obedience. Whatever's in here is going to come out. I always think I was coming out. So I don't look at my folks say they can tell me anything. I watch him over. Of time. Oh, I'm on fire. I'll come to the church and do whatever and then after a little while they kind of doing them. And don't worry you can.

In relationship, I'm your man. I'm your woman. I'll be there with you and then all of a sudden.

Come on, y'all. Can we keep this thing real and these are the same folks I'm talking about. I'm not talking about the people in the world cuz we expect that from spokes out of the world. I'm talking about.

Say Speak Life.

And Hebrews chapter 10 verse 24. It says let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. Please say when you come to the church, it should be like and I'm so glad to see you. I'm so glad to see you. We all excited about seeing each other and see how we can be a blessing for the kingdom of God and let's see how we can help somebody. That's what it should be what you know when we get busy child, did you see her wig?

No, come on. Y'all. Let's keep this thing real we getting behind folks and we talkin about him as opposed to listen them up. And then we wonder why the church is divided because we're things that are destroying people.

She over there sitting in my seat always sit in that seat.

She act like to eat the only one who could do that Ministry. I could do that Ministry. I could do it better than him call religion. We do this weird thing with what we try to hide it under rules and regulations. Oh, well, you know what if you get this title, then you're allowed to do these things. And if you come five times and you give this amount then you can have this and if you do all of these things that show you were prove to me that you were then we can let you do some things that's religion.

We're hiding the real issue we're divided cuz we're speaking things out that cause division in the church always tell people if you didn't have a title, but you still do the work for the kingdom of God. That's the litmus test right there. What you still do it if nobody recognize you cuz there's a lot of people want to be recognized for doing something in the old please say my name in French. What is your name? Never gets there. What you still doing? Do you still love God if he doesn't even lift you I mean recognize you in the church environment.

I bet you that a stop a bunch of folks.

amen The Bible says in in in verse Hebrews chapter 10 verse 24 y'all Whitman is this making sense you making sense? It says let us think of ways to motivate one another verse 25 says and let us not neglect our meeting together as some people do but encourage say encourage say encourage saying current when you get up in the morning Courage the people in your household claim and encourage them to get up and get on get the church on time. Encourage them. Amen. Encourage them. That's what I goes. That's what I job is it's to encourage each other a man. We have learned that we have learned the rules of this world so much.

I think of anything nice to say and then we taking on this at wave. I ain't got nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. That should not be the case. As a Believer we should always be. A man know folks don't always do the stuff that I want them or I think they should be doing. Amen. He was at why do you get angry? All of us get a person isn't doing what we want to do. So we mad they're not doing it the way we want them to do it. So we angry and then not doing it when we want him to do it. Amen, so you can always trace your anger back with a person back to Y and then it falls into one of those three categories that y'all can come up with some more. Amen. Look at what the Bible says encourage one another especially now that the day of his return is Drawing Near what I don't want God to what Jesus to do is to find us not in the position where the Bible told us. We should be and then and it is in a position of encouraging each other. I don't want him to come back and find a church divided arguing being manipulative been back by then because you know what he's going to do destroyed off.

And someone the Bible says encourage each other speak words of encouragement speak words of exaltation. That's what my job and my goal should be so I should be speaking things that are good things to people that are encouraging things to people that are good nice things that people as opposed to backbiting in line, and I don't know

say Speak Life. Times and life ain't fair. Right sometimes life ain't Fair. Sometimes you got to encourage yourself. Sometimes you got to encourage yourself sometimes stuff be hitting you so hard and in this case and David and the first Samuel chapter 30 verse in the Bible says and David was greatly distressed for the people speak of strolling him back in the day that was killing him because the soul of the people were grieved every man for his sons in for his daughters, but they but David encouraged himself in the Lord see sometimes you got to encourage yourself in the Lord when they always when they talking about you and they treating you like a duck. Sometimes you got to say Lord. I know who I am in Christ Jesus. I'm not here and not to tell I'm the beginning and not the end. I am the lender and not the borrower. I know who I am in Christ Jesus when all these little Minions trying to pull me down because they're hurt I have to encourage myself.

City job in Acton, right You still got to encourage yourself? Don't bring that negativity to your job come by cuz you know you spewing things that not only you but everyone around you. So get up and courage us upload you gave me this job for a reason. I think you that I have this job. I don't have to agree with everything is going on but I am here to represent you and I'm going to do everything in this job to represent you so somebody will come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ who didn't know you before that's how I'm going to encourage myself to get up everyday and be the best I can be and that work environment when they're trying to tell me that when I try to talk about me when they misuse and abuse me, I'm going to encourage myself.

Since but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. Say Speak Life. in Philippians chapter 4 verse 8 the Bible says brethren Speak whatever things are true. Whatsoever. Things are honest whatsoever. Things are just whatsoever. Things are pure whatsoever. Things are lovely whatsoever things of a good report if there be any virtue. and if there be any praise think on these things

Season we got we got a lot of stuff we can focus on as opposed to what the world wants us to focus on they want us to stay and CNN and CBS NBC with all that negative stuff when God is calling us good focus on was just focus on what has virtual fucus on. What's a good report?

I keep running into these people can tell me about everything that's happened in the world, but they can't tell me about what's happening in the world.

Speak Life

the same scripture in the New Living Translation says and now they're brothers and sisters one final thing. Fix your thoughts. On what is true? an honorable and right

and lovely an admirable Think about these things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

Then the question becomes.

Is it the things of the word? Or is it all this negative stuff that's in the world? This really not helping anybody get anywhere. You can encourage anybody by telling them that that was his number 45 46. 45 is doing another crazy thing. How does that how do you get encouragement out of that? But you know what? That's the stuff people want to know. What would happens when you say you know, what? I'm excited to see you. You know what brother you made my day? I'm glad you here. Let's see how we can get a little further in this walk of Faith. Amen when when you can take a kid and you can spend some time with them not only in the word but doing something fun with them. When you can look at your spouse and say, you know what? I'm so thankful that God brought you to me. That's what's good. That's that virtual. That's lovely. That's beautiful. That's the stuff people need to hear. But you can't we always say enough about what we ain't and when we can't do it when we didn't do and what we should have done. What about what you can do and what God has planned and purpose for you. Say Speak Life. Is this making sense to you? words have the power of life and death Let me tell you all that's true. I shared with some of you guys that my story and I'll share it again. So if you've heard it before don't Swindell say and it might be a little nugget in there for you, especially as you dealing with kids it so when I was little I went to a birthday party for one of the kids and I can t remember to buy was one of the kids in the neighborhood and I bought I remember saving up in buying this big ol bottle of bubble bath. I was taking it to her birthday party and we took it there and it was time for dancing, right it was time for the kids to dance and this grown woman said to me you too fat and black to be dancing like that.

Let me tell you that took root in me. If a million years I thought I was too fat and too black to achieve to the levels that God had planned and purpose why would sabotage things? Cuz I don't feel like I belong there. amen until God showed me who I was So I say when you speak something into a child's life, whereas the adult you were supposed to be the one taking care of them. Watch what you do because it will have a long-lasting effect and some of us are still doing right now are still dealing with issues and problems because somebody broke something negative try to kill a spirit and it took Ruth.

And then we hide it. With perfume in clothes, we try to look good and smell good. We try to be what people want us to be and try to do what they want us to do and we're broken and hurting on the inside because someone spoke death into our life. Are you with me? Wives be very careful what you speak into the lives of your husband's husband's be very careful what you speak in into the lies of your wife because if you're not careful you could be speaking death into your marriage a men in relationships. Be careful what you're speaking to the person that you say you love.

And then more importantly. Be careful. What you say is a man or woman of God because you represent the most high and you're making a statement about who he is to you. If you don't speak truth, if you don't speak, what's right, does that make sense Speak Life to your neighbor to Speak Life?

So powerful that God use words by his words God created the heavens and I'm not going to go through all of the verses 1 through 5 in first one in Genesis. It says in the beginning God created the heavens and there was y'all know that one right and it says the Earth was without form. That means it wasn't what it was supposed to be. It didn't have the form that God wanted to be some of us are like that. We don't have the form that God wanted until he speaks into my life any man. Come on, y'all as Earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep in the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters then God spoke.

the Bible documentary that says then God said

Facebook Ben God said let there be light and there was Life That's The Power of your words. He's giving us by example you speak something to an existence. Boom. That's what's going to happen. Hey, man, you speak you speak Prosperity into your life. Guess what's going to happen? You speak Health into your like this was going to happen. You speak it a man and guess what? It's going to happen.

God said let there be light and there was lightning.

He's going to give me do a little manipulate. Let me to buy the lights. From the darkness and I'll call the light day in the darkness. He called night. So the evening and the morning was the first day of the you go back to Genesis 1 all through the entire chapter. He speaking. My question to you is what are you speaking into your life?

Words are coming out and how is it at impacting you? Words of encouragement Words of Life. Are you smoking something Dan into your situation?

Don't teach them how to speak life. It's really important that we learn how to speak life. The world is trying to get us to speak Destin to everything. We have to come back that by speaking like they Speak Life.

And Hebrews chapter 1 verse 3. The message translation says the sun perfectly mirrors God and a stamp with God mention Jesus Jesus the son. He says looking what the Bible says. He says he holds everything together by what he says. Hear me out. You know what I remember. grandmother's talking about keeping the family together and saying know this ain't going to happen in my home.

Come on y'all. No, this is not allowed. Or this is allowed. Amen. We will pray. We will come together as a family and guess what the family came together.

If you don't speak it and and and and and put it into the atmosphere don't expect anything.

For somebody else to do something for them. By speaking the truth. Are we going to believe next next week and faith and and Grace you'll see how all this comes together? See people talk about they got faith, but they not speaking anything. Can we cut the heat down some?

Does that make sense? The Bible says he holds everything together by what he says powerful words. This continues to rotate on this. in the middle of this this song Galaxy

universe solar system. Thank you. Thank you. I had a I'm not speaking it into my life, but it was a middle-aged. this world Honest at this Earth on its axis stays where it supposed to be revolving during the time. It's supposed to be in the midst of all of this chaos is going on.

When we call it gravity and stuff, but it's God's word. That's keeping that thing up there. Now, we have to justify some stuff. So we got to figure out why this is working in a I say is God's word. The things are being kept together because of God's word. How do you take?

So you say powerful words? Because after you finish the sacrifice for sin, the son took his honor place in the heavens right along so I got after he spoke. It is finished. Now we going to deal with that. It is finishing a couple of weeks cuz see we trying to get. Got to do stuff that's already been done.

Catch that you're running around snotting and screaming and doing all this stuff and wondering why it's already been done. Is finished a man? So what you got to hide God's word in your heart. So so in Romans chapter 10 verse 8 The Bible says but what does it say? The word is near you in your mouth and in your heart, that's the word of faith that we preach we preach faith. We preach faith and we preach great. We preach those two things, but it's in you a man. It's in you what you speak will determine. What you speak will determine what kind of Victories you have what you speak will determine what kind of love you get? or not Does that make sense?

Say Speak Life. I'm almost done.

You got to hide this thing. Let me tell y'all I keep going back to the the the the the example of planning a seed in the soil in and watching it turn into from a CD to a tree and it takes time and it has to be watered and it has to be fertilized. But at the end of it you going to get the fruit. A man and I keep going back to that because God keeps impressing it up on a harp. Some of us are trying to plant a seed and then go to the get to the fruit before the tree has had time to grow. amen So you can take this word what you getting you like man, some of us to be like me and I ain't never heard that like that before men. I was pretty good. Now, you got to take it and hide it cuz you know what the cares of this world in the next problem that comes up in your life is going to try to snatch it. So when when you go to speak encouragement and somebody goes up one side of you and down using profanity you going to say alright that ain't even worth it. I'm getting them but you got to stop yourself. You got to hide that word in your heart. You still got to speak life. Here's what I've come to realize hurt people hurt other people. Let's just say it happens when you hurt that's what you going out to somebody to hurt them and then always get it the aftermath and people's like what I didn't mean to. Yes, you did. Could you get it out of your hurt out of your death out of your anger all your English? You tried to go hurt someone else we would charge to Speak Life.

The Bible says in Psalm 119 11 your word. I have hidden in my heart that I might not do what sin against you. Keep in mind we represent Christ Jesus here on Earth. Have we forgotten? That's who you represent.

We we we represent Christ Jesus and all I have to remind you you do not you are not a citizen of this world. This is not your home. It's all we know right now, but we have a home waiting for us in glory. I try to do this and my wife reminded me. She said she said cuz we have this little car this little electric car, right and in when people borrow we want them to treat it. Right, right.

So when we borrow this time here, we want to treat it, right.

Come on. Yeah. So the question is what the time that God is giving you here. What are you doing with it? amen I got you because we always see this will make sense when we get into this hole. Where am I with Grayson? Where am I with faith? And you know for many years we have been taught a Grace that is not correct. A man, but that's all we knew and like I say don't y'all start blaming folks when the Holy Spirit reveals the truth to you? Don't start blaming cuz that's all they knew a man just say, thank you Lord, you know one of my mentor said to me if what you thought to be true turned out not to be too. When would you want to know?

What did you just say?

You want to know right away, right? You want to if I thought that was the truth and I found out it's not the truth. I want to know immediately, right?

So y'all just keep on coming back. Amen? finally last scripture in Colossians chapter 3 verse 16 This is his charges. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another and Psalms. Thank you for the praise team and hands. Thank you for the praise team and spiritual songs. Thank you for the praise team. But you know what? You need to become your own praise team.

And let me say one more thing before we close out.

The way you talk and always with your words. It's how you live your life.

your actions scream

amen So you might be saying one thing. But your actions are screaming something else. Watch what you say.

In the New Living Translation, that's that text has left a message about Christ and all its richness feel your lies teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom. He gives sing Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankful hearts.

That's how we Speak Life.

That's how we keep ourselves out of speaking death into each other's lives into our own lives. That's when it becomes important to us that someone comes to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ cuz we're going to speak encouragement to them in their life in their situation. One of the things that God gave me and my wife when we started this ministry is what's the take God's word to their world meet them right where they are at and Speak Life into him speak encouragement into him speak. Peace into an speak. Joying to meet him right there. Don't step back and talk about him meet him right where they're at with the word of God. I don't have the power to change but the word of God can change anything and everything is possible with Christ. Does that make sense? So I need to do one last thing. I need you to turn to your neighbor and say neighbor. I'm going to commit to you. To speak life and I give God a big hand of praise.

Last thing next steps, I am challenging our ministry to read the Bible this year a man. Some of you I've given you the apps to view the app that you can use. There's plenty Bible apps and there's plenty of the papers that you can use to help you get through the but here's the deal. You won't know what to speak. If you don't know what the words are a man. So I'm challenged to read the Bible in the year and then pray for our church growth. Amen. And here's why not just four numbers so that we can go out and do the work for the kingdom. Amen, which is going out and impacting people who are hurting who are depressed for incarcerated who are sick. Yeah. We got to get into the hospital they meant but we need two people to go with us cuz we can just I'll put that burden on two or three people. Amen. We need people to go with us until hospitals. We need to prison ministry. We got a food Ministry that God is blessing blessing but we need people to go out and do the kingdom work came in so that we can bring snacks them people out of the world and bring them into the kingdom of God. Amen, that's why you know people that all you want to make sure you're no week at work to do a man. And so I'm charging folks to get involved and do the work. That's why I'm looking for and it let me say this to our women. Thank y'all because y'all have been pillars in the church. If you go to Every Church, there's been pillars in the church and we thank you, but me and this time for us to step up. A man not now. Listen, I know we all work and we all have families and stuff. But see there's a lot of idle time in man that we could be giving to the Lord. So I'm going to challenge me in to step up and step forward a man and say Pastor. I'm going to make myself available. What do you need a man? So no more excuses of you. Keep going make every Sunday back to church Sunday invite someone you know, what here's a realize there's a realization people will come to church if you invite them. Hey, man, do you think they going to knock down? Cuz we working on our signage and everything, but a lot of people don't even know we're here. But if you tell him and you and you pick them up and bring them or you let him follow your car here, they'll come. The best thing we can do is invite someone to come amen and we invite them they'll come a man. So let's make every Sunday back to church Sunday. Amen. And then I'm going I'm going to leave and bring Deacon pass up. Amen. Come on dick in bath and he's going to share something which is an amazing gift that if you don't know about it y'all listen to this man a guy.

Let the Church Say Amen Vanilla, one of them s in that pasture. He always nice to me. is something that I have to do to Yeah, where we going to do with our faith.

All we can speak for his right now. Some of us does he have today next Sunday? We might not be

so are we need to get on board and

Wait for the Lord. puppies so good I had a friend that's passed a few days ago. And he have been all over the world have been a lot of places.

But he went home and he just had got back. a few days and he went home and you never woke up.

He was a very nice person. I know it's brother that we have sang together. We went all down the Mississippi up in Atlanta in Tennessee all that but He's gone now. And I do believe that he love the Lord. He was a Hershey at the church that he attend.

But we never know. so there's anyone here that on the October safety then you should come on God's eye. Everybody should belong to some church.

You know. You should have your chest. Somebody should have everybody should have their name on The Church Road. You know. And do something for the Lord.

I got to say we do have a lot of our time but we should be giving it to the Lord. and if you hear and you want to come to be apart of United Christian Fellowship now is the time. And then Pastor say if you don't want to be alone here you would send you to. a good study Bible Church

But you know is still room God died for us. That we might have a ride.

He said he didn't want any of us to Paris.

So if you love the Lord, this is your time.

What if you got your business fixed with Jesus? You have nothing to worry about.

I do all I can because I want another star on my crown

I'm going to tell you this little. Little Joe and then we going Hosanna this bus driver Linda priest

and when the bus driver in the priest died. and then St. Peter come around and take him around and looking at the mansions. In the breach in the preset. I know one of them big mansions is mine.

Cuz he know he was in God's word. And then the bus driver got out it said this is your Mansion. It's a look at that big mansion that he has. Then he went down a little bit farther and then he gave him a little small one. He said that why I get this little small mansion in the bus driver get the laundry. He said because when the bus driver was driving they was praying and when you was preaching they were sleeping.

So, you know so so that we need to pray for one another I pray for you. You're not a Christian Fellowship everyday I ask God to give us what we need and bless the pastor and the first lady and everyone that have their name on the church roll and all those that want to be that's not he

But it's time God still have room. He's waiting. He said if you make one step he'll make two.

So now is your time. Now we have done what God have required up us to do. Oh, come on. Come on, Mike. God bless you brother. God bless you. my mom passed

The devil is mad cuz he made that step. But one thing about it, he built that he got to see Jesus William sent. Mama can't see him for you your brother your sister or daddy. You got to see Jesus for yourself.

I don't want him there when I get there to the judgment. Is he going to ask me? Who did I help along the way I'm going to do all I can while I'm here. By saying this song so you can't make it to Heaven if your heart ain't right.

But we bind the devil right now in the name of Jesus. We buying all of the situations and circumstances that have been keeping you from all that God has planned and promised to you and have for you and so right now we're asking God In The Name of Jesus to receive you back just as been waiting to do in the name of Jesus and so by your profession and I'm going to ask you this.
