Churches in Camden

“``What do you see? Do you see the word? Do you see the word, or do you see the impossibility? Do you see the revelation of God's word and what he's spoken, or do you see the impossibility and the challenge that's before you? Can I tell you too many times in the church today? We look with our natural eye, but forget the revelation of God's word in our heart. What did God say? What has God spoken? What has he decreed? What has he declared? Remember the word of the Lord. Why? Because when you face the giants, not if. When you face the storms, not if. When you face the obstacles, not if. When you find yourself up against a formidable enemy, not if. When you find yourself in that place, you better remember the word of the Lord and not what you see with your natural eye, Or you will fall prey and fall victim like everyone else in the world to the lie on the oppression of the enemy that God must not have meant what he said. Can I tell you God is not a man that he should lie? He didn't go back on his word and he hasn't changed his mind. His word says that if he's for us, then none can be against us. His word says that he is my armor, that he is my shield, that he is my defender, that he is my provider, that he is my redeemer, that he is my salvation, and I refuse to give up and go silently into the grave because it looks impossible.”

“``So like Israel, stop sinning. That's lesson number one. Stop being disobedient. Stop putting God behind things in your life, and stop thinking that you can live your life any way that you want to, and you'll just give god whatever's left over. Maybe the problem is that you're not saved. That could be the problem. That god really isn't your lord. You have never asked Jesus to forgive you of your sins and to save you. You can change that today. If god's speaking to your heart, you can cry out in repentance today where you sit or where you stand, where you kneel, and god will hear you and he will save you today. One day, the bill is coming due. For me, you, Israel, and this whole world, God's stepping out of glory one day and time's gonna be up and there are no second chances. You either take care of business now or God will take care of business then.”

“"Could it be that the division of this church was God's plan in the first place? Oh, I'm sorry. Yes! Why? Because God is sovereign. This is His church. Some of you forgot that. He has a plan. And He has a purpose. So stop looking behind in the rear view mirror and start looking forward to what God wants to do to bring you alive."”

“God has commanded us as his people to see what he sees. How do I see what God sees? The word of the Lord. How do I have eyes of faith? Listen, I I don't wanna leave I don't want you to leave today without the how. How? How do I respond? Pastor, you don't know the giant that I'm facing. Pastor, you don't understand the fortified city that I'm up against. Pastor, you don't understand the powers and the principalities, the strongholds, the the the enemy has that I'm that I'm fighting through, that I'm that I'm working against. Friend, can I tell you none of them can stand against the name of the Lord? None of them can stand against the name of the Lord. Remember what Paul said in Romans eight? If he's for us, who can be against us? Faith shows the reality of what we hope for. It is the evidence of things not seen. Joshua and Caleb trying to save these people from the punishment that is coming for their rebellion and their disobedience to the word of the Lord says to them, stop. Even these giants are only as helpless prey before us.”

“So the question that we have as believers is what do we see? Do I see the report as the 10 spies from Israel see it? Do I see the report from how Saul saw it? Or do I see the report? Do I see the things that are in front of me through the eyes of faith that that that Joshua, Caleb, and Paul had? Do I have eyes to see what the word of the Lord says and what the revelation of God's word is? Do I have the eyes to see what God has decreed and what God has declared? Do I have eyes to see and to identify the giants that stand in front of me and the impossibilities that are all around me? And instead of retreating in fear, do I rise up in faith and in confidence in the word of the Lord and in obedience decree and declare his word and his will be done?”

“Listen. We have got to be men and women of the word. We have got to be people that set aside time to listen to the voice of the Lord. Why? Because the word of the Lord is a light to our feet. It is a lamp unto our path. It illuminates and reveals the truth of what God has said. Too many times we do not read the word, and we do not make time to sit and listen to the voice of the Lord, so we have no revelation and we have no truth. So what happens is when we go back to Hebrews chapter 11 verse number one, is we don't know what reality is anymore because we're going based off of the evidence of the things that we cannot see, but we have no revelation of the reality of what we hope for because we haven't spent time in the word and we're not listening to the voice of God.”

“but, oh, we think we're so smart. We do. We think we're so smart. We think that we can have our cake and eat it too, that we can have all the blessings that god has given to us, and we can do whatever we want to and god's still gonna love us. That's the thinking of a lost man right there. That you think that no matter what, god's always gonna love you. If you know god, why would you not wanna serve him? Why would you wanna be disobedient? When you were saved, you were saved because you said, I want god to be my lord and I wanna serve him no matter what. So, what changed? Did you change your mind? being disobedient. relegating god to just this corner of your life, and he's in second or he's in third place, and you just pull him out whenever you need something, stop. He's first above all above all because he is worthy of that.”

“You value it way too much above me. So, I'm gonna take it away. Their riches couldn't save them all the money they had collected, the houses that they had built, the land they had acquired, all for nothing, gone. He says, you're gonna die. That's what he says in verse 14. Always an encouraging sermon. You're gonna die. I'm gonna send you down to Shaul. You're gonna die. Hell is never full. Scripture tells us, you can always fit one more in there. Riches can do something for you in this life. It does. Money is good to have in this life. Money can influence people. It can influence governments. We know that. Money makes the world go round. But what if god takes your money away? Rich people, when it's gone, you gotta eat just like poor people.”

“If you think that you can spend all the money that God has given to you and not give him back what he is owed, think again. If you think that you could take all the blessings that God has given to you, that he has bestowed upon you and never serve him, never appreciate, never be obedient, Guess again. Because one day that bill's gonna come due, and God's gonna say, where am I at in your life? You have all these other things and you seem happy with them, but but where's my spot? We're supposed to be building God's kingdom, not ours.”

“"Why do we lose faith so easily when our feelings shift? Why do we lose confidence in who He is and who we are in Him circumstances fall apart? Romans chapter 8 verse 28. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them. God is. He is at work even when you don't see His hand."”
