"I just want to say thank you Jesus, but I get to be here with you all. I want to say thank you Janice, for your wonderful support through my COVID experience, to my children who stood by me so faithfully when I was reaching my lowest. My two daughters, immediately, well my three daughters actually, two daughters from South Dakota immediately got airline tickets to fly out here, my daughter from Tennessee got an airline ticket to fly out here, and the support I received from my children was just amazing." [00:00:33]
"There was fervent prayers offered here in behalf of others that also faced COVID, and God in His sovereignty took some of those people home. In His sovereignty, their time was finished here, their tasks were completed, and they're in the presence of the Lord now. And I want to say that looked pretty inviting for me in those last couple days before I went to the hospital." [00:01:16]
"Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean from all of your filthiness and from all your idols will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you any new spirit while I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh and I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments and do them." [00:05:51]
"My Holy Spirit within you will empower you to walk in my statutes and my commandments. It will not be as it was in the old covenant that though I was married to you, and you departed from me and kept not my commandments, I'm going to do something new. This is the covenant that I will make after Israel in those days saith the Lord, I will put my spirit within you." [00:07:04]
"The amazing thing here is that the herb yields seed after its kind, and it produces fruit after its kind. So the scriptures tell us that the power is in the seed to produce after its kind. So here's the question, can the fig tree bear olive berries? Yes. Can the fig tree bear olive berries? Yes. John Mark, can the fig tree bear olive berries? No." [00:10:24]
"Every seed and fruit bears after its own kind. All right, thank you man, you may be seated. Yeah, it was wonderful, very good. I have a little fruit basket up here, and we could look at a lot more, but I want us to really, really get this so let's pray. Father in heaven, creator of the heavens and the earth and all that in them is, creator of every fruit and every herb, all wise almighty God." [00:13:03]
"Have you been born again by the spirit of the living God, and the spirit of God deposited into your very heart and nature? We now have a new nature, I'm a new creation, I'm not what I used to be. I now am filled with the Holy Ghost because His spirit dwells in me. You know it's possible here this morning, someone under the sound of my voice has just tried to do better and has become more religious but you have no life of Christ in you." [00:15:59]
"You must be born again by the spirit of God, you must. You cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven according to Jesus' teaching in John chapter 3 to Nicodemus and to all of us. You must be born of water and of the spirit. Have you had a spiritual birth? If any man have not the spirit of Christ, he is not of his, and if Christ be in you the body is dead because of sin but the spirit is life because of righteousness." [00:16:55]
"Let's be honest with ourselves, let's be honest with ourselves and God. Am I being led by the spirit of Christ Jesus, the Holy Spirit making me holy, quickening me, quickening this body or am I dead in my trespasses and sins? I'm a pretty good Pharisee man, I can fool most of the people most of the time, I'm a pretty good hypocrite, I can cover my sin real well." [00:18:37]
"Whosoever you yield yourself servant on yield remember servant to obey his servant ye are, and Jesus Christ came to deliver us and set us free from the bondage of the corruption and the filth of sin and from our idolatry. Well maybe today you're just a pretty good person, yeah, you don't offend no one, you don't disturb anybody, you're just a really nice person, but you're lost." [00:19:36]
"For as many as are led by the spirit of God they are the sons of God. Brethren we are debtors allow me to take the claws out of the middle that talks about living to the flesh. Brethren we are debtors not to the flesh we are not debtors to the flesh, but we are debtors to the spirit of the living God, we are bought with a price with the precious blood of Jesus and we are indebted and our whole life to Jesus." [00:20:54]
"If you are full of the Holy Spirit of God indwelling in you, ye shall reproduce spiritual fruit. Ah yes, so we're going to bring this to a close and uh, everybody who's got enough of teeth to chew an apple gets an apple. If you've got teeth enough to chew an apple or if mom can cut it with a knife and you can suck on it that's okay too." [00:37:36]
