we're called to be like Christ and what did he say? He said, for I am holy, you be holy too. Ain't that what the Bible says? Amen? We can be holy through Christ Jesus. You say, pastor, you don't know what I've done. You don't know my thoughts. Baby, I'm a tell you something. You just give it to Jesus. Amen. And you learn that if you rely on him, you're holy through Christ not because our own, my righteous, your righteous, filthy rags in god's sight, the bible says. Without that, without the peace, without holiness, without which no man can see the lord. [01:07:04] (35 seconds)  #HolinessThroughChrist Download clip

What I wanna tell you is you can't have power in your life and try to control it yourself. You have to surrender to god. I'm talking about holy ghost power. See, Galatians two twenty says this, I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live, yet not I, but Christ live it in me. Christ live it in me and the life which I live now in the flesh, I live by faith of the son of god who loved me and gave himself for me. [00:52:35] (33 seconds)  #SurrenderForPower Download clip

And it may be too late for some, but let me tell you something. You ought to take your wife by the hand. You ought to get down before you go to sleep sometimes. You need you don't need to do it every time, but you ought to bend down beside the bed with your wife, put your arms around her, or if you're laying in bed, hold her tight and pray as the head of your household over your wife and ask god to bless your relationship.

See, James four seven says, submit yourselves therefore to god. Resist the devil and he will flee for you. The key there is you've gotta submit yourself to god. You have action. I have action. I'm not talking about salvation. I'm talking about those of us that are born again today. Those of us that call ourselves children of god. Stop walking around here like somebody that's powerless and start being powerful in your walk for Jesus Christ. Why? Because if we submit ourselves to God, the the the resist, the devil, he will flee from us. [00:57:57] (31 seconds)  #SubmitResistPrevail Download clip

There's no way that you can have the power of god in your life if you don't renew your mind daily in god. There's no way. A man that tells me, a woman that tells me that they have the power of god in their life, you might be saved, but you do not have the power. You're not tapped into the power source, the holy spirit. If you don't read your bible daily and you don't pray, I don't care who you are. You don't have to like it. It's just biblical fact. [00:50:50] (26 seconds)  #DailyBibleDailyPower Download clip

Without having a centered, sacrificed life of being a living sacrifice, surrendering to him, you can't live and have the full potential and the power in your life. When someone calls me and wants me to go to the hospital, I I have to understand that I need to live a life in such a way that surrender to him to have the power of the holy ghost. So when I touch somebody or when I'm praying for somebody, they can see something and the ones that are not only hearing but god's hearing me and healing people.

But if we understand that if we we're honest and we start surrendering to god, not my will but thy will, he's gonna put us in ways that we need to be honest and truthful with love and grace to our family members. You're walking through what you're walking through because you're making bad decisions. Now, I'm not trying to beat you up. My name is Bubba. I love you. I'm telling you that if you live a surrendered life, you're gonna deal with some of this stuff in your life, but I'm gonna tell you how to get past it. Amen?

Of reconciliation to Christian men and women around you, brothers and sisters, and to the world around us. We're called to be hey. We're called to be ambassadors of reconciliation. That's setting them that that's setting them back, giving them another chance. How can you do that? You gotta be kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you. How can we say we're forgiven and then we wanna hold somebody responsible for something? [01:02:11] (31 seconds)  #AmbassadorsOfReconciliation Download clip
