00:00:00Good morning. Let's give the Lord a hand clap of praise this morning as we just started this morning for those who are here and those who are online.
00:00:10We're glad that you're joining us on the second Sunday in October.
00:00:15I just want to remind those members who are new and online this morning that we have a three o'clock service at New Hope Baptist Church.
00:00:23And we hope that you will go with us over at New Hope at three o'clock.
00:00:26At this time, we're going to turn it over to our deacons and let them lead us in devotion.

00:00:39From the rising of the sun, until I'm going down, I'm saying, Lord, your name is to be proclaimed among the heavens and the earth, among the rich and the poor, among the dead and those that are alive.
00:00:52You're still a magnificent God. You're still a good God.
00:00:55That's why we sang with up-looking voices this morning.

00:03:34Word of God
00:03:37In Hebrews
00:03:38Leaves as such
00:03:41Hebrews 4th chapter
00:03:43Starting at
00:03:4414 verse
00:03:46It reads
00:03:47Seeing then
00:03:50That we have a great high priest
00:03:52That is passed into the heavens
00:03:55Jesus
00:03:57The son of God
00:03:59Let us hold fast our profession
00:04:02For we have not a high priest
00:04:05Which cannot be touched
00:04:08With the feelings
00:04:09Of our infirmity
00:04:10But was in all points
00:04:13Tempted like as we are
00:04:15Yet without sin
00:04:19Let us therefore
00:04:21Come boldly
00:04:23Unto the throne of grace
00:04:24That we may obtain mercy
00:04:27And find grace
00:04:29To help in time of need
00:04:32May God's word be heard
00:04:34Morning, Emmanuel
00:04:38That the spirit
00:04:42Of the living God
00:04:44Can dwell in us
00:04:46At all times
00:04:47As we move into this fall season
00:04:51We see that we are
00:04:54Lacking in folks here

00:44:27I'm going to say the verse again.
00:44:29There are some things that I may not know.
00:44:39There are some places I can go.
00:44:49Yes, God.
00:44:51But of this thing, I am assured, yes, that God is real.
00:45:04For I can feel him in my soul.
00:45:10Say, yes, God is real.
00:45:12Yes, God is real.
00:45:14God is real.
00:45:16He's real.
00:45:18He's real in my soul.
00:45:20Come on, let's stand before the word comes.
00:45:22Yes, God is real.
00:45:24Yes, God is real.
00:45:26Yes, God is real.
00:45:28He's real in my soul.
00:45:34He's real in my soul.
00:45:36He's real in my soul.
00:45:37For God is real.
00:45:38He's real in my soul.
00:45:39He's real in my soul.
00:45:41Oh, God is real.
00:45:42Oh, God is real.
00:45:43Oh, God is real.
00:45:45He's real in my soul.
00:45:48Come on, let's sing it.
00:45:50Yeah, yes, God is real.
00:45:53Yes, God is real.
00:45:56He's real in my soul.
00:45:59He's real in my soul.
00:46:02For God is real.
00:46:04He has washed and made me whole.
00:46:09Oh, his love for me, it's just like pure gold, oh, yes, God is real, let's say that one more time with power, come on, let me hear you sing, stand with me, yes, God is real, he's real in my soul.
00:46:39Oh, yes, God is real, oh, he has washed and made me whole, oh, his love for me, it's just like pure gold, yes, God is real, oh, I can hear him in my soul.
00:47:09Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, it ain't no harm to praise the Lord, hallelujah, how many know God is really real?
00:47:30Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah, that song has some substance to it, I tell you this morning, I want to thank our brother, brother, some of y'all might remember him way back when I first got here, he was a good friend of Pepe Hendrickson.
00:47:47He left here, brother Don Allen, but he told me he'd come back as Apostle Dr. Don Allen, and we thank him for giving, coming, worshiping with us and leading our worship.
00:48:00Let's give him some love, let's give him some love this morning.
00:48:09What a joy this morning, that choir and brother Allen, y'all set me on fire, hallelujah.
00:48:17At this point, I know we have an appointment this afternoon, but you have your Bibles, I just have one scripture, Hebrews 11 and 3.
00:48:28Hebrews chapter 11, one verse, verse 3.
00:48:32Hebrews 11, you can read it on the screen, for those who are online and those who are here.
00:48:46By faith, we understand the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
00:49:00So, you might be seated.
00:49:03I want to talk for a moment, faith that frames the future.
00:49:09Faith that frames the future.
00:49:14I don't know about you, but at this point in time in my life, I want to see what real faith looked like.
00:49:23I want to experience real faith.
00:49:25I believe faith calls us to walk with God in a different way than anybody else.
00:49:32If I was to ask you, if I could pull back the cover of some of you this morning, some of you are going through some stuff at home.
00:49:44Some of you are going through maybe some stuff at work.
00:49:47You have some situations that are in your life that you really don't like.
00:49:53Am I, have I missed this up?
00:49:55Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
00:49:58You don't want nobody to, some folk, we don't want nobody to know about it.
00:50:02But we're going through a struggle.
00:50:04And we have God on our side, and we want to know God.
00:50:08But you know what?
00:50:09It seemed like God not moving fast enough.
00:50:13I don't know about y'all.
00:50:15Sometimes I'll be praying, and I'm wondering, God, do you hear me?
00:50:20Sometimes he come quick, but sometimes he say, wait.
00:50:24Now, I can take God saying no.
00:50:27I love him when he say yes.
00:50:29But I sure enough struggle when he say wait.
00:50:32So this morning, but I want you to know it takes faith to do great things for God.
00:50:41But more than that, it takes faith in God to do great things.
00:50:46And let me give you a story.
00:50:47That was a story I read I wanted to share with you.
00:50:50Because I'm saying, Lord, some of us need extraordinary faith.
00:50:55We need something that can make things move.
00:50:58Does it really, does it really, does it work?
00:51:01Lord, are you answering?
00:51:04Do you hear me?
00:51:06There was a story about a woman she wrote.
00:51:07This is a true story.
00:51:10She was at the National Convention.
00:51:13They sent word to this sister.
00:51:16Her name was Mother Boy.
00:51:17They said, Mother Boy, your son died in Atlanta.
00:51:24And they were making arraignment for Sister Boy to get back to Atlanta from the convention
00:51:30to claim her son's body.
00:51:34And she sent word down there by one of the bishops to the morgue.
00:51:38She said, tell him, don't touch him until I get there.
00:51:41So immediately, they tried to find Sister Boy, Mother Boy, a flight to get back from the convention
00:51:49to her house in Atlanta, where her son was in Atlanta.
00:51:53So she said, wait a minute.
00:51:56I'm here to do a seminar.
00:51:58Let me do my little seminar, and then I'll go home.
00:52:01She went to do a seminar.
00:52:03She jumped on a plane, and she made it to the morgue where her son was.
00:52:08And she asked the man who was over the morgue to say, can you step out for a minute?
00:52:13Well, the boy had two other prayer warriors in her room with her.
00:52:18Her son was laying there.
00:52:20They had a sheet over his whole body and his head.
00:52:25She pulled the sheet back from his body.
00:52:30She looked at him, and she said, wait a minute.
00:52:38She spoke to her son that was named.
00:52:43She said this.
00:52:45Now, God, she said, wait, what did she say?
00:52:47She said, now, God, you made my boy, and I know he's not through the will of God.
00:52:59So, Satan, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.
00:53:06And she looked at her son.
00:53:07He said, I speak life back into my son.
00:53:13She said, she waited five minutes.
00:53:15Nothing happened.
00:53:15She said, God, if I mean anything to you, then I want you to bring my son back to life.
00:53:27And she said, within a short period of time, her son came back to life.
00:53:33And at the time of this writing, he was living during this time.
00:53:39To me, faith is beyond anything this faith that I've ever heard recently that some woman, some prayer warrior,
00:53:51somebody had enough faith that God could take that which was dead and bring it back alive.
00:53:58Y'all with me this moment?
00:53:59There are times that you and I, if you haven't got there, there's going to be a situation in your life.
00:54:08You're going to need some extraordinary faith.
00:54:12And you might not need it for yourself, but you might need it for somebody close to you.
00:54:19Hebrews 11, chapter verse 3 says,
00:54:23Before I get into the text, I need you to understand that how can one see things that are invisible?
00:54:46How can God make that which is visible, visible?
00:54:49Could it be the natural eyes see facts and the spiritual eyes see truth?
00:54:56The natural eyes sees and it says it's impossible.
00:55:00But the spiritual eyes says all things are possible to those who believe.
00:55:06With God, nothing is too hard.
00:55:10So could it be faith sees what God sees, what God says, and before he shows it?
00:55:16Faith sees what God says before he shows it to you.
00:55:22Let me show you what I'm talking about.
00:55:25God called Abraham away from his family.
00:55:29And he made Abraham a promise.
00:55:31He says, I want you to look up in the sky and count the stars if you can.
00:55:37He said, now, that's how many descendants you're going to have.
00:55:44Your descendants are going to be like the stars in the sky.
00:55:50Then he turned around and produced sons just like the stars.
00:55:56Think about that for a moment.
00:55:57What do you mean, pastor?
00:55:59Abraham had one son.
00:56:02According to God, Isaac.
00:56:05Am I right?
00:56:06Y'all walk with me.
00:56:08Isaac had how many sons?
00:56:10Two.
00:56:11Esau and Jacob.
00:56:14Jacob had 12 sons, which formed the what?
00:56:1812 tribes of Israel.
00:56:20And then from those 12 tribes, a whole nation sprung up.
00:56:26And Abraham had sons like the stars of the sky.
00:56:34Abraham believed what God said.
00:56:37God showed him the stars and then he produced them in his son.
00:56:42And I want you to know that faith frames the future, our future,
00:56:49and makes that which is impossible, possible.
00:56:54I have three points and I'll sit down.
00:56:55Point number one, faith helped us discern the plan of God.
00:57:02In Hebrews 11, notice something about faith.
00:57:06It helps us discern or understand God's plan.
00:57:10More than God hearing our request.
00:57:14So I was looking at Hebrews, kept reading it over and over and over,
00:57:18and I went back into God's word, and I noticed something.
00:57:22Faith is not God following our plan.
00:57:25Faith is us following.
00:57:28Y'all don't hear me at this moment.
00:57:29It's following his plan.
00:57:31So when great things happen, I believe God is moving us into position
00:57:38to experience what God really want us to experience.
00:57:43Let me give you an app.
00:57:44Faith is not seeing what God is saying, but it's following what God.
00:57:53Faith is the substance of things what?
00:57:56Hopeful.
00:57:57The evidence of things what?
00:58:00Not seen.
00:58:01In the book of Ruth, God led me to the book of Ruth.
00:58:05Naomi had a husband named Emmalich.
00:58:11Emmalich died.
00:58:12They had left Bethlehem and went to Moab.
00:58:17Naomi's husband died and left her with two sons.
00:58:20Both sons were married.
00:58:24One was Oprah.
00:58:26Another one was Ruth.
00:58:28Both sons died and left Naomi with two daughter-in-laws.
00:58:35Listen to me.
00:58:35I'm going to show you how faith works.
00:58:40Naomi said, I'm going to go back to where I'm from.
00:58:43She was in the area of the land of Moab.
00:58:46She said, I'm going back to Judah, to Bethlehem.
00:58:49And she said to her two daughter-in-laws, y'all need to go back to y'all family.
00:58:54Oprah kissed Naomi.
00:58:57And Ruth decided she was going to stay with Naomi.
00:59:01Y'all walk with me.
00:59:03Naomi said, I'm going to go where you go.
00:59:04But Naomi, Ruth didn't just tell Naomi that she was going to go with her.
00:59:11She has some very poetic words that is read in most weddings.
00:59:20Oftentimes called a wedding a funeral, but that's not her.
00:59:23Y'all didn't get that last week.
00:59:26These words were, entreat me.
00:59:29This is what Ruth said to Naomi.
00:59:31Entreat me not to leave you or turn back from following you.
00:59:37Where you go, I'll go.
00:59:40Where you lodge, I lodge.
00:59:44Your people, being my people.
00:59:47And your God, my God.
00:59:51Ruth followed Naomi, not knowing what the future would bring.
00:59:58But Naomi was a woman of faith.
01:00:01So Naomi took Ruth back to Bethlehem.
01:00:06Notice.
01:00:07And she began to be Ruth's advisor.
01:00:11I'm going to cut through the long part.
01:00:13In the process, there was a relative of Emma Leach who was a part of Naomi's family named Boaz.
01:00:21He was a rich landowner.
01:00:23When Naomi and Ruth went to Bethlehem, they had nothing.
01:00:30But the Bible said, when Naomi encouraged Ruth, and Ruth went and gleaned in Boaz's field.
01:00:41Gleaned mean they would leave wheat and enough for people who were poor to come and get the wheat so they'd have enough to eat.
01:00:49When Boaz saw Ruth in his field, he lost his mind.
01:00:57Who is that?
01:01:03In my field.
01:01:08The Bible said, his servant said, that's the woman who came back with Naomi, the Moabite.
01:01:15Her name is Ruth.
01:01:17He went to Ruth and he said, Ruth.
01:01:19He said, from now on, I want you to glean only in my field.
01:01:26Whatever you need, you can get it from me.
01:01:30Faith is following after God when you don't even know the outcome.
01:01:36Faith does not create God's plan.
01:01:39It cooperates with God.
01:01:42Faith does not make God do something new.
01:01:46It positions us to walk like God want us to walk, in the way God want us to walk.
01:01:53And at God's own timing, cannot get a witness.
01:01:56Paul said in Ephesians chapter 2, verse 10, for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,
01:02:10which God prepared before the foundation that we should walk in them.
01:02:14And Boaz saw Ruth in his field and said, who is that brick app?
01:02:22And they told him, this is Ruth the Moabite.
01:02:27And so Boaz said, whatever you need, Ruth, I want you to follow my field.
01:02:34And over time, Boaz married Ruth.
01:02:42Can I get a witness?
01:02:43Y'all look quiet, but I don't preach anyway.
01:02:47What God did was move Ruth into position to be blessed.
01:02:54When you walk by faith, you may not understand where you're going or even how to get there.
01:03:01But you trust God.
01:03:03Can I get a witness?
01:03:05And God, I mean, no God can take us from here to here.
01:03:11And can't nobody do anything about it.
01:03:13Bible says, but Ruth and Boaz got married.
01:03:21And the Bible said, in the process, Ruth and Boaz had a son.
01:03:28His name was Obed.
01:03:30Obed, Obed grew up and had a son named Jesse.
01:03:36Jesse grew up and had a son named David, the king of Israel.
01:03:42God placed a Moabite woman in the lineage of Jesus.
01:03:48If you go and read the chapter, the first chapter of Matthew, you will see the name Ruth and Boaz.
01:03:55I want to let you know God is good at positioning us.
01:04:00If we learn how to walk by faith.
01:04:03Can I get a witness?
01:04:05There are some times that's going to look a little scary.
01:04:08There are going to be some times you don't know what to do.
01:04:12There are going to be some times it don't even go right.
01:04:15But if you walk by faith, God will position you.
01:04:19Can I get a witness?
01:04:20Is it the thing it is?
01:04:22When you're walking by faith, it seems that you have to go through some difficult times.
01:04:27But in the difficult times, it helps you learn who God really is.
01:04:31Where faith moves us, where his promises come alive in our life.
01:04:38Can I get a witness?
01:04:39The first thing we see, faith helps us discern the plan of God.
01:04:47But then the next thing it does, faith helps us declare the power of God's word.
01:04:55Where does it say that?
01:04:56It says in Hebrews 11 verse 3, the worlds were framed by the word of God.
01:05:03The word of God was the architect, the artist, and the authority behind all creation.
01:05:11If you really want to see God and his power, all you got to do is look at his creation.
01:05:17Now the verse tells us faith helps us declare the power of the word of God.
01:05:23And see, I take this personal because there are times I need the Lord to speak over my family,
01:05:34over my situation, over my future.
01:05:37Faith speaks what God says.
01:05:40Even before we see the results, go with me for a moment.
01:05:45In the 24th chapter of Joshua, Joshua was getting ready to leave and get ready to die.
01:05:55Israel had come in and conquered the land.
01:05:59But then Joshua was letting them know how good God had been to them.
01:06:04He was already in the final stages of death.
01:06:08And in the 24th chapter, he said he reminded them of who he was.
01:06:14But what he said, God started with Abraham.
01:06:18He said, Joshua said, you remember Abraham, how God blessed them to dwell on the other side of the river.
01:06:26Let them out of Canaan.
01:06:29He said, I want to let you know.
01:06:30And Joshua began to tell the story how God gave Abraham Isaac and how Isaac and Jacob came
01:06:38and how they went into Egypt and how Jacob went into Egypt and Esau went into the mountains.
01:06:46And then Joshua reminded the people of God how Moses and Aaron came into Egypt
01:06:53and how God plagued them.
01:06:55And he said, you remember how God brought them out of Egypt with Moses and Aaron.
01:07:02Then Joshua said, God led you through the wilderness.
01:07:05And he helped you fight nation after nation.
01:07:09Then God led you over Jordan River.
01:07:12And then God allowed you to come to Jericho and brought you and you fought Jericho.
01:07:20And then you were able to beat them.
01:07:23And then he said, now I want to let you know all of this is what God has done for you.
01:07:29And he said, now you're in a new land and you have to start learning how God wants you to walk.
01:07:38He said, the first thing I want you to do is fear the Lord
01:07:42and put all the other gods that your father served on the other side of the river, put them away.
01:07:49He said, I love you to follow the way I'm going.
01:07:54But he said, I want you to choose this day on whom you're going to serve.
01:07:59He said, you can serve the gods which your father served on the other side of the river.
01:08:07Or you can choose to serve the God of the Amorites in whose land that you serve.
01:08:12You stand.
01:08:14But for me and my house, we're going to serve the Lord.
01:08:19Can I get a witness?
01:08:20And I noticed when Joshua said those words, he didn't ask his family if they're going to serve the Lord.
01:08:27He made a declare, a declaration.
01:08:30Me and my house are going to serve the Lord.
01:08:35Faith have you declaring what God has already spoke in your life.
01:08:40Yeah, and you know, that's somebody who's going through a struggle here.
01:08:45And God wants you to know that all you have to do is declare faith over your family.
01:08:52Declare it over your husband.
01:08:55Declare it over your wife.
01:08:57Declare it over your children.
01:08:59That's a song that Karen Shears sang.
01:09:02I really love it.
01:09:04It says, my words have faith.
01:09:06And in her song, she says, my words have power to defeat the enemy.
01:09:14He said, those same words speak power and life and prosperity.
01:09:21She said, I've been given the authority.
01:09:24He says, I can move mountains by the words I speak.
01:09:29But the power, by the power invested in me.
01:09:34I decree God's favor resting on me.
01:09:38I know my words.
01:09:41My words have power.
01:09:43Church, if you're going to walk by faith, you ought to realize that your words have power.
01:09:50I mean, power to change what is going on in your household.
01:09:57Power to change your situation.
01:10:00Some of us have to make up our mind that if we're going to walk by faith, we're going to trust God has given us some authority.
01:10:10I speak authority over EJ, Jason, Mark, and Tisha.
01:10:15I speak authority over Barbara and myself.
01:10:18I speak authority over Emmanuel Baptist Church.
01:10:23I speak authority of deliverance in the house of those I pray for.
01:10:28I speak authority not because I have it, because I want it.
01:10:33Because God has given me the authority to speak life into those dead situations.
01:10:40To speak hope into those who lost hope.
01:10:44To speak joy into those who are going through sorrow.
01:10:47Some of us who are walking by faith have to speak life into our situations.
01:10:54Anybody know what I'm talking about?
01:10:56If you're going through a tough time right now and things are not working like they ought to work,
01:11:03you need to speak life.
01:11:05You need to speak hope.
01:11:07You need to speak joy.
01:11:10You need to speak deliverance.
01:11:12You need to speak salvation.
01:11:15Ain't God all right?
01:11:17Ain't he all right?
01:11:20It might not be working right now, but you'll keep speaking authority.
01:11:26Where did you get the authority?
01:11:29Jesus gave you that authority.
01:11:31Ain't he all right?
01:11:37Faith says, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
01:11:44Yeah, you might knock me down, but you're not going to knock me out.
01:11:49Because I believe that God can do anything.
01:11:54He says in his word.
01:11:56Is there anything too hard for God?
01:12:00Faith says, we don't have any money right now.
01:12:07But tomorrow, tomorrow, God going to make a way out of nowhere.
01:12:13Hey, can I get a witness?
01:12:15Faith says, my children are not acting right.
01:12:18But tomorrow, too many of us, and let Satan win.
01:12:28Jesus says, I've given you the authority to speak over your family.
01:12:33I speak.
01:12:34I've given you the authority to speak life in Emmanuel Evans.
01:12:40Ain't God all right?
01:12:41It's yeah.
01:12:44Point number two.
01:12:45Faith declares the power of God's word.
01:12:51And I know right now, if I don't believe in nothing else, I believe God's words have power.
01:12:58Yeah, it might not look like it right now.
01:13:01But I believe God is going to bless Emmanuel to be greater than it ever been.
01:13:07Because I believe in the faith that God has given me.
01:13:12Ain't he all right?
01:13:17Finally, finally, faith helps us demonstrate the proof of God's word.
01:13:24The latter part of verse three says, so that the things which are not seen were made of things which are visible.
01:13:34Faith does not need evidence.
01:13:37Faith becomes evidence.
01:13:40Can I get a witness?
01:13:42What do you mean, Pastor?
01:13:44In Genesis chapter 22, Abraham, God said, Abraham, I want you to take your son Isaac.
01:13:54And I want you to offer him up on Mount Moriah.
01:14:00Yeah, can I get a witness?
01:14:02He began.
01:14:04He took his son.
01:14:05And they began to march up Mount Moriah.
01:14:11Ain't God all right?
01:14:14And as they began to march up the mountain, just Isaac and Abraham.
01:14:22Bible said halfway up the mountain.
01:14:26Isaac looked at Abraham.
01:14:30He says, I see the fire.
01:14:34I see the wood.
01:14:36But where is the lamb?
01:14:40Can I get a witness?
01:14:42And Abraham said, God will provide a lamb for the burnt offering.
01:14:49Can I get a witness?
01:14:51Ain't God all right?
01:14:52The Bible said, they got up to the mountain.
01:14:56And Abraham laid Isaac on that wood.
01:15:00Let me tell you how faith operates.
01:15:03Abraham did everything God asked him.
01:15:07He took his night and got ready to kill his son.
01:15:12And God said, stop, Abraham.
01:15:14I know you love me and you fear me.
01:15:19And the Bible said, at that moment, there was a ram in the thicket.
01:15:25Abraham went and got that ram and off it up.
01:15:28I want to let you know, when you operate by faith, faith can save your whole household.
01:15:37When you walk by faith, faith will let you do things that you never thought you could do before.
01:15:45Ain't God all right?
01:15:47Faith says, I'm going to do things God's way.
01:15:52Can I get a witness?
01:15:54And as I'm getting ready to close, I saw Abraham offer up Isaac.
01:16:00I saw Rahab hide spies in Egypt.
01:16:04I saw Enoch walk all the way up to heaven.
01:16:08I saw Noah build a boat.
01:16:12Ain't God all right?
01:16:13Faith says, whatever God says, that's what I'm going to do.
01:16:21Faith is God's word in existence.
01:16:26And evidence is seen when God produces what needs to be done.
01:16:32Faith is, I believe that God will provide a ram.
01:16:36When Isaac got up to the mountain, God provided a ram.
01:16:42Faith is, Noah, I want you to build a boat.
01:16:45And I want you to build it for the saving of your household.
01:16:50The Bible said, by faith, Noah built a boat for the saving of his whole household.
01:16:57The Bible said, Rahab hid the spies.
01:17:02And by faith, she saved the whole household.
01:17:05Ain't God all right?
01:17:07God will produce the evidence in the life of the believer.
01:17:13You just keep on walking.
01:17:16You keep on believing.
01:17:18God will produce evidence.
01:17:20See, faith is thing not seen.
01:17:23But you can see what God is doing when he comes into your life and changes you.
01:17:29Can I get a witness?
01:17:31There's evidence.
01:17:32There is evidence that faith is in action.
01:17:38Can I get a witness?
01:17:40Ain't God all right?
01:17:42See, I want you to know this morning.
01:17:45You have no evidence that God is going to save you.
01:17:50But you have his promise.
01:17:53Yeah.
01:17:54That whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
01:18:02You have no evidence, no proof that God's going to save your family from financial crisis.
01:18:12But you do have a promise that God says in Philippians 4, 19, that I will supply all of your needs according to his riches in glory.
01:18:25You have no proof that God even loves you.
01:18:30But you have a promise in John chapter 3, verse 16.
01:18:36But God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son.
01:18:41That whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
01:18:47You can't nobody.
01:18:49You can't show me God.
01:18:52But I can show you his promise.
01:18:54There's power in the word of God.
01:18:58I'm standing on that very word.
01:19:01Ain't God all right?
01:19:03When God speaks, things happen.
01:19:06If you've got an unsaved husband or an unsaved wife, you just keep standing on the word of God.
01:19:15Word of God will bring deliverance to your household.
01:19:19The word of God will change your family.
01:19:23The word of God will bring hope.
01:19:26Ain't God all right?
01:19:27Anybody know what I'm talking about?
01:19:29Somebody said, when I was in the hospital, and the doctor said, yeah, it's not looking good.
01:19:43Ain't God all right?
01:19:44He said in his word, by my stripes, you are healed.
01:19:52Ain't God all right?
01:19:54All I got is the word of God.
01:19:57But what I've learned is all I need is God's word.
01:20:03If I stand on it, he will provide.
01:20:06He makes faith visible.
01:20:09He makes that which is impossible, possible.
01:20:13He can turn a life around.
01:20:16He can turn your situation around.
01:20:20Anybody know what I'm talking about?
01:20:21If you're going through a crisis right now, stand on his word.
01:20:26Stand on his word.
01:20:28If things don't look right, stand on his word.
01:20:32Things ain't going right.
01:20:34Stand on his word.
01:20:35There's power in his word.
01:20:40I'll never leave you.
01:20:43I'll never forsake you.
01:20:45It might not.
01:20:46I've learned one thing.
01:20:50I've learned sometimes God don't come when I want him to.
01:20:53And he showed me I may have to go down before I come back up.
01:21:00But I do know one thing.
01:21:02I don't care how far I fall.
01:21:04He ain't going to let me fall too low.
01:21:07He's coming.
01:21:08He's coming.
01:21:10He promised he's coming.
01:21:12Ain't he all right?
01:21:13I don't know what I'm talking about.
01:21:17But whatever you are going through, God has a word for you.
01:21:25Stand on it.
01:21:27Faith is standing on the word of God.
01:21:30Whatever he says, it's got to be true.
01:21:34Stand on it.
01:21:35Even when you don't see the revoke come and just stand.
01:21:40We got the saying, and I believe in the saying.
01:21:43He may not come when you want him.
01:21:48But he is always.
01:21:52He's on time.
01:21:54He's not going to leave you when you've been faithful to him.
01:21:58You've been faithful to him.
01:21:59He ain't going to leave you when you need him.
01:22:01He's going to be right there.
01:22:03Now, anybody know what I'm talking about?
01:22:05Has he come?
01:22:07Has he touched you?
01:22:08Has he changed your situation?
01:22:10And if you're going through something, don't give up right now.
01:22:13Don't throw in the towel.
01:22:14That's the easy thing to do.
01:22:16God wants you to walk by faith.
01:22:20You're going to see it.
01:22:22In that song that Carolyn Sheer sing, she said, my word got power.
01:22:28She said something that caught my, I just love the song.
01:22:31She said, see it before you see it.
01:22:35Sometimes God wants us to see it before we see it.
01:22:39Because he's coming.
01:22:41There may be somebody here this morning.
01:22:47Might not even know what it means to walk by faith.
01:22:50But you want to try it.
01:22:52You want a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
01:22:54See, one day you're going to meet him.
01:23:04When you meet him, you want to hear him say, servant, well done.
01:23:10When you meet him, you want him embracing you.
01:23:21You want him, though, when you leave this world to walk into his kingdom.
01:23:27Here's your opportunity to give your life to him right now.
01:23:30Don't put it off tomorrow.
01:23:37There's nothing better than knowing Jesus.
01:23:42Doors of the church open.
01:23:45You hear this morning.
01:23:49He will pick you up and turn your life around.
01:23:54Speak over your family.
01:23:59Speak over your children.
01:24:03Speak over your husband.
01:24:05Speak over your wife.
01:24:08Speak over your mother.

01:25:41We give you praise for what you're doing for Eddie.

01:26:05We thank you this morning.
01:26:06We're going to ask if you will stand at this time.
01:26:08All right, I know some of y'all are going to watch the Miami Dolphins.
01:26:25But I can tell y'all what the outcome is going to be.
01:26:28I won't do it, but I can tell you.
01:26:30Father God, we thank you.
01:26:34We praise you, Lord, for all that you're doing.

01:26:44Thank you for everything you're doing.
01:26:46Lord, for every member that's standing here and those who are online,
01:26:50who are struggling with their faith, God, let them know, Lord, they have enough.
01:26:55All they have to do is exercise it.
01:26:57Now unto him that is able to keep us from falling and present us faultless before our maker.
01:27:02To the only wise God, our Savior, be glory, majesty, minion, and power, both now and forever.
01:27:07Let the church say, amen.
