“All the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. This is why people will perish. They perish because they refuse to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason, god sends them a powerful delusion so that they will not that so that they will believe the lie so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wicked. It's in the Bible. I wish I could sweeten it up for you on child dedication Sunday. I wish I could just be nice and nice with you until you take the high road. It's gonna be okay. Now if you reject the truth, if you reject the truth again, Romans one eighteen, those who suppress the truth, they will suffer.”

“but he will deliver them from all of them. Amen. God will deliver us out of all of our troubles today. So, don't be afraid. Do not fear because Ephesians one thirteen says, that when you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised holy spirit. So, you have been, if you're a believer, you are sealed today. You are protected until the day of redemption when you see the lord. You not the devil cannot break that seal. There's not a force from hell can break the seal. We have been sealed by the holy spirit and we will not have to endure any of the wrath of god. Now, we may have to go through some of the tribulation. Now, look, I know some are here today's scholars”

“This evil spirit had taken over man and I I think it's very interesting. He was in the synagogue. He was in the church of their day. You know, the devil can go to church. Demons can get in churches. First Timothy chapter four verse one. Listen to this everybody. The spirit, that's the holy spirit clearly says that in the last days, in the latter times, some will abandon the faith and watch this. This is why they will abandon the faith and we are seeing it happen right now because they will follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. That is intriguing to me.”

“I think he operates more like this how Paul said when he wrote to the Corinthians and he said, Satan masquerades himself as an angel of light. He he pretends. He he he masquerades. He he appears to be polished and professional and he he appears that see this is how he works. He will he seduces and he manipulates and yet you don't even know it. That's how he appears. That's how he works but I'm here to tell you, Paul wrote elsewhere and said, but even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preach to you, let them be under god's curse.”

“"Paul writes from a prison, a dungeon in Philippians 4 and 4 and says rejoice in the Lord. And then he wants to exclaim, he wants to put more to it. And he says this, and again I say rejoice in the Lord. Here's a man sitting in a dark dungeon, a prison. He's been beaten. He's been abused. He's been lied about. But he's not going to let that take his joy. He is self-medicating. You know what I'm talking about? He's medicating from the word of God. He's medicating from the joy and the power of the Holy Ghost that was at work in his life. And now I'm going to tell you, I came up in old church. I don't know about you. But we used to sing a song like this. The world didn't give it to me. And the world can't take it away. I'm telling you, this joy that I have is coming from the Lord Jesus Christ. We need joy back in the church again. Amen."”

“"For the joy that was set before him, he endured the cross, despising the shame. Do you catch that? For the joy that was set before him, he endured the cross. He had joy, but yet he had to endure the cross. He has this joy that is in his heart, but he knows he's got to do something that's not going to be fun. He knows he's got to do something that's not going to be exciting. But there is a joy that he had that he's going to endure the cross. It's not being crucified that's going to bring the joy. It's three days later in the resurrection when he defeats death, hell, and the grave. And he triumphs over sin for us. That's the joy that he had. And that's why he endured the cross and despised the shame. He said, I could hold back. I don't want to do this out of the flesh. But I know what I must do for my purpose was that I came to seek and to save the lost. And the only way to do it is to lay down my life for them so they can have life and have it more abundantly. I'll do this with joy because I see it on the other side. I see a cross that I'll come off of."”

“"The choice is this. The choice. We make a choice to rejoice. You have to choose that you're going to rejoice. You've got to choose. You've got to choose if you're going to have the attitude of gratitude today. Seek to be holy as God is holy. And there find true inner joy. I'm going to ask you. Are you a joyful Christian or are you a grumpy Christian? Who wants to be around a grumpy believer today? If you're a grumpy Christian, you know, always just down and out. Don't wear any ROL attire, please. Don't advertise for River of Life. Don't do that. Don't do To be a Christian, we should be joyful Christians. And I again realize that things happen in this world that upset us and takes our happiness."”

“"You see, we know from the New Testament teaching. That we can grieve the Holy Spirit. And we can quench the Holy Spirit. And once we grieve him and quench him. Then that joy will leave us. As believers. We do occasionally sin. And what we must do is not be flippant toward that. We must be repentant toward it. We must call it for what it is. Because we have an advocate with the Father when we sin. And he is faithful and just to forgive us. But we must confess it. And once we confess it. Then he'll cleanse it. Amen. And the sin will be removed. And the joy of our salvation will come back. And that's how you get a restoration of joy in your life. Is when you call sin, sin. And you seek it. And you seek it out with an old-fashioned repentance and pray. And he'll forgive that sin. And cleanse it. And the fruit of the Spirit is joy. And that joy will come back in our life. Amen. Seek the Lord. And go after him."”

“"How do we maintain or keep the joy? Well first of all. Number one. We need to restore the joy. Of salvation. There needs to be a restoration. Of joy in our lives. Because a lot of believers. Are not joyful. They're joyless. They really don't have the joy. And again. I'm pretty certain that I'm speaking to people. In this service today. You are a believer. But if you were to be transparent. Like this person. And you were to say hey. But I don't have the joy. Of what it really is to have. As a believer. What's going on? Why don't I have that joy? Well first of all. It could be that you've lost the joy. Of your salvation. And you need it restored."”

“"Let me tell you, while they're shooting each other, while they're cursing each other, while they're stabbing each other in the back, we're equipping, we're encouraging. We love one another. We shout the praises of God in this house so can let that make you bitter and make you mad and disturb your peace. But I'm telling you, I'm not going to let the enemy disturb my peace and take my joy. I have it in Jesus. I have it in Jesus Christ. He's coming back. Oh, I think I hear the sound of the trumpet about to sound, and the Lord is going to return again. He's going to rapture the church. We're going up, not down, not here, up, up, up, we're going, hallelujah."”
