“In in the Bible, that word believe, you should look it up as you come to it. It can mean knowledge or it can mean the idea trust and they kind of use that the belief, trust, and faith interchangeably and in context, they really help us out because the devils, they don't trust god. They don't have faith in god. They believe him. They have knowledge of him is is the definition there but they don't trust him. Knowledge isn't just good enough. If I have knowledge of god and don't trust him, then that's not faith.”

“So, we we can't just throw away what god says is right and wrong. We can't just throw away the the standards because god has spoken that but when you and I try to earn his merit, we just are earning his wrath. We're just we're just displeasing him because we're not operating in faith. We're thinking we can do something. God desires that you and I believe and we trust in him. That is how we have righteousness in him.”

“Because the faith, the faith should move us to submit to Christ. The faith should move us to live as Christ wants us through. Our faith is Christ living through us. Because if not, that's a dead faith. If I'm not acting as god wants me to, my faith is useless. If I'm not living in the spirit as god has moved me to, my faith is lukewarm and profitable for nothing.”

“God desires we have faith in him. Faith that will change our life. Faith that will change other people's lives because of what Christ has done in us. If there's any scripture from from this time in god's word that you would meditate on this week, it would be this James passage. God desires that we act, not just sit but we act and that acting, that that motion, the the doing in our life is a result of faith.”

“"Grace was shown to us, mercy was given to us, victory is attained by his death. Satan was defeated at the cross. The powers of the world were at check at the cross. The dates of hell shall not prevail against the church which is the gift of Christ from Calvary onward. Everything of our existence of our promise goes back to Dalgaltha. And when life gets challenging mayhap I'd be remind you to go back near the cross. Let's pray. But heads bowed and eyes closed."”

“"Saul becomes eventually mad but one thing he starts out right is giving credit where credit was due he didn't he could have easily said oh this is great I'm really glad that you know I I did this he starts out well he says the Lord accomplished salvation he gave credit where credit's due and I'm going to tell you friends from the Old Testament to the New Testament the Bible does not change at all in the response in fact in James chapter 1 verse 17 in the New Testament the Apostle James says every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning there is nothing that could be good in your life that you did not achieve from your own self everything good from the Lord take nothing for granted and said oh look at what I've accomplished you when it comes to the Lord humility is the best key here he said well pastor I I with my own two hands and with my own two with my mind and my knowledge I was able to build this and I was able to wire that and I was able to bring up and and put all this hard work and put the money into achieving this for my family I did that the Lord didn't tell me to do this this was my own achieving great who gave you the heartbeat each and every day to get up and out of bed to work who gave you two hands so that you could work on those things who gave you a sane mind so that you could think out these things who gave you the breath to be able to uh to be able to breathe and be able to sustain yourself as you work through those things to give you energy each and every time you need to give you two eyes to be able to see and not be born blind the Lord is perfectly and abundantly good to us if we sit back and recognize it and we can do no good thing without him"”

“"Saul was righteously angered towards the attacks of his brothers and sisters in the Lord's nation, in the Lord's chosen people. Israel at that time, and it was in favor with the will of God."”

“"You guys can lead yourself. You'll be fine. He goes back to his farm. And Saul said, what troubles the people that they weep? He has no idea what's going on in the nation that he's supposed to rule. And they told him the words of the men of JBS. And notice with me, verse number 6, Saul did not get angry. The Bible says, then the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard this news, and his anger was greatly aroused."”

“"Now, Israel did come, and Israel came not by one person's orders, but by the Lord himself. We're going to see in just a moment. Salvation came by the Lord. Look with me in verse number four as we continue reading. So the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and told the news and the hearing of the people. And all the people lifted up their voices and wept. Now there was Saul coming behind the herd from the field. I remember our last week's message. Saul really didn't want to be king."”

“"it would come naturally your flesh continually is at war with the holy spirit the bible tells us so the more we draw away from the word the more we draw away from the boundaries of god the more we draw away from the power of the holy spirit or you know we we tend to uh we tend to kind of say hey we're not going to let you lord over our lives here we're not going to let you speak into our lives here i'm going to do what i want in this particular manner of my life whether it's an addiction whether it's a relationship whether it's a job i don't know what it is for you there's a part of our life perhaps we say we're not going to let the holy spirit lead us in this place as soon as you make that decision as soon as you say hey i'm going to drift away from god's word on this all you are doing is inviting the world and the father of the world to speak into it and make a deal with it and they wanted to make the covenant with nahash the serpent they wanted to make the deal with and maybe in their mind these elders when when they saw the army they probably thought oh you know maybe he wants to enslave us and say you know hey we're going to serve you well"”
