2 IF YOU THINK YOU ARE STANDING STRONG BE CAREFUL NOT TO FALL

I WANT TO THANK GOD FOR HIS GRACE UPON OUR LIVES IN THIS CHURCH

• THIS MORNING I WANT TO SPEAK SERIOUSLY ABOUT OUR WALK IN CHRIST AS DIRECTED BY THE HOLY GHOST
• JOHN 8:1-11
• JESUS WAS TEACHING IN THE TEMPLE AND SUDDENLY THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES CAME IN, DRAGGING THIS WOMAN CAUGHT IN ADULTERY WITH THEM
• THEY WERE READY TO STONE HER QUOTING THE LAW OF MOSES
• NOW JESUS KNEW THAT THE WOMAN HAD BROKEN THE LAW AND THAT SHE DID DESERVE TO DIE
• BUT THE PURPOSE OF JESUS ON EARTH WAS AND IS TO PORPERGATE GRACE AND TRUTH IN GOD’S WORD.JOHN 1:14 
• OUR LORD JESUS IS THAT VERY LAW OR WORD THAT THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES WERE QUOTING
• BUT HE HAS COME TO GIVE US THE GRACE TO WALK IN THE LIGHT OF THAT WORD
• FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD
• WE ARE ONLY MADE RIGHT WITH GOD WHEN WE PLACEOUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST
• THIS IS TRUE FOR EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN CHRIST NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE
• THIS IS THE GRACE OF GOD AND THIS IS WHY JESUS CAME IN THE FLESH TO FORGIVE US AND FREE US FROM THE PENALTY OF SIN WHICH IS DEATH
• WE DO KNOW THAT THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH,
• BUT THAT THE FREE GIFTOF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
• NOW THE WOMAN UNDERSTOOD THAT SHE WAS A SINNER CONDEMNED TO DEATH BY THE LAW
• BUT SHE ALSO KNEW THAT JESUS SETS FREE FROM THE CURSE OF SIN AND DEATH
• SO SHE RAN VERY FAST TO JESUS AND FELL AT HIS FEET AS DEATH WAS PURSUING HER
• NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT IS PURSUING YOU,YOU MUST RUN TO JESUS CHRIST
• HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU,HE WILL ALWAYS RESCUE YOU
• HER ACCUSERS WERE READY TO DEFEND THE LAW WITH BIG STONES FROM DEATH AND HELL
• THEY WERE READY TO DEFEND THE LAW OF GOD
• JESUS THEN BENT DOWN TO WRITE ALL THEIR SINS ON THE GROUND  WITH ALL THEIR NAMES ON TOP OF THEIR SINS,
• ALL THEIR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS ,AND THE INIQUITIES OF THEIR FATHERS WERE ALSO WRITTEN.
• WHEN HE FINSISHED HE ASKED ANYONE OF THEM WHO DID NOT SEE HIS NAME AND HIS SINS ON THE GROUND TO THROW  THE FIRST STONE.
• SO THEY ALL LOOKED ON THE GROUND AND LEFT ONE BY ONE CONVICTED OF THEIR SINS BY THEIR OWN CONSCIENCE
• ONE BY ONE THEY DROPPED THEIR STONES AND LEFT,IN GUILT AND SHAME
• HOW I WISH THEY HAD ASKED THE LORD RIGHT THERE FOR FORGIVENESS
• NO, THEY LEFT CONDEMNED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE WORKING OF GRACE AND MERCY
• THEY LEFT BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO PROUD AND STUBBORN TO REPENT
• THE WOMAN COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT SHE WAS FREE:
• JOHN 5:4-10
• “ They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what say you?  This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.  So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.  And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.  And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the oldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the middle.  When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you?  She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more. ¶  Then spoke Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
• “NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE GO AND SIN NO MORE” SAYS THE LORD OF LIFE AND PEACE
• LET EVERYONE HERE NOW RECEIVE THE POWER TO GO AND SIN NO MORE IN JESUS NAME
• TECHNICALLY, EVERYONE IN CHRIST JESUS SHOULD BE SIN FREE.EVERYONE SHOULD LIVE A VICTORIOUS LIFE IN CHRIST.
• BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO YIELD TO TEMPTATION AND BACKSLIDE
• WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE,BACKSLIDING AND FRONTSLIDING AGAIN
• AND AGAIN.PRAISE GOD FOR HIS FAITHFULNESS.BUT AT A POINT YOU MUST FRONTSLIDE FOR GOOD ROMANS 6
• THAT IS WHY WE ARE TOLD TO BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT.
• YOU HAVE TO KEEP WORKING ON YOUR SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING:PHIL 2:12
• KEEP YOUR SELF IN THE LOVE OF GOD PRAYING OFTEN IN THE HOLY GHOST AND MEDITATING ON THE WORD OF GOD EPHESIANS 6:10-18
• BE ACTIVE IN THE CHURCH,TRY TO BE IN CHURCH AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK
• MAKE SURE YOU REGULARLY ATTEND PRAYERS EITHER ON MONDAY  OR ON FRIDAY NIGHT
• LIVE ACCORDING TO GOD’S WORD AND GOD’S WILL.WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING
• DON’T TAKE YOUR SALVATION AND CONSECRATION TO GOD FOR GRANTED
• THAT IS HOW TO REMAIN SAVED AND SECURE IN THE LORD.
• MANY HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES TO CHRIST BUT THEY ARE NOT BROKEN.THEY ARE NOT READY TO LIVE FOR CHRIST ALONE
• AND OF COURSE THEY ARE NOT READY FOR RAPTURE OR DEATH
• BROKENNESS IS GOD’S REQUIREMENT FOR MAXIMUM SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND USEFULNESS IN GOD’S KINGDOM
• WITHOUT BROKENESS THERE CAN BE NO REAL SPIRITUAL POWER
• BROKENESS IS SOMETIMES PAINFUL AND HUMILIATING BUT IT IS THE ONLY WAY
• LET ME ASK YOU THIS QUESTION TODAY HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO RECEIVE THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BE IN THE RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD?
• IF YOU PUT UP YOUR HAND THEN YOU NEED TO BE BROKEN.YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION HERE TODAY
• THAT PROUD SELF WITHIN YOUR HEART MUST BE BROKEN
• IT MEANS THA T HARD PART OF YOUR HEART, THAT PROUD AREA,THAT ARGUMENTATIVE
• THAT UNYIELDING SELF MUST BOW BECAUSE AS LONG AS IT IS THERE YOU CANNOT LAY CLAIMS TO BROKENESS
• BROKENESS IS THE BEGINNING OF A PERSONAL SPIRITUAL REVIVAL AND SERIOUS WALK WITH GOD
• THE DAY YOU SIGN UP WITH GOD FOR BROKENESS THAT DAY YOUR LIFE STARTS TO REVIVE
• BROKENESS IS YOUR ACT OF HUMILITY IN YOUR TOTAL ACCEPTANCE OF GOD AND HIS WILL
• TWO PICTURES OF BROKENESS ARE GIVEN IN THE LIFE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
• THE LAMB AND THE DOVE
• JOHN REFFERED TO HIM AS THE LAMB THAT TAKES AWAY OUR SINS
• AFTER THAT HE GOT BAPTISED AND THE HOLY SPIRIT RESTED ON HIM
• THE LAMB SYMBOLISES MEEKNESS AND SUBMISSIVENESS,THE DOVE SYMBOLISES PEACE
• WHAT HAPPENED TO JESUS AT BAPTISM SHOWS THAT THE DOVE CAN ONLY DWELL FULLY ON THE LAMB ACTS 8:32-33
• The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
• NOW BIBLE ALSO TALKS ABOUT GOAT S, DOGS,AND PIGS
• YOU IMMEDIATELY NOTICE THAT NONE OF THESE ANIMALS CAN BE USED AS SACRIFICE TO OUR GOD
• I KNOW MANY OTHER GODS ACCEPT THEM AS SACRIFICE
• LAMBS DO NOT COMPLAIN OR GRUMBLE OR DISOBEY,THEY ALWAYS RESPOND QUICKLY TO THE SHEPERD’S VOICE
• UNLIKE GOATS AND COWS MANY LAMBS CAN BE REARED BY ONE PERSON
• THE EARLY CHURCH HAD 8000 SOULS AND WERE CONTROLLED BY7 DEACONS
• IT WAS BECAUSE THEY WERE A FLOCK OF SHEEP BUT TODAY,EVEN 2000DEACONS WOULD NOT CONTROL THEM
• SOMEONE ONCE SAID “ A SOUL IS CONVERTED IN A MOMENT OF TIME, BUT TO BECOME A SAINT TAKES A LIFETIME”
• CONVERSION HAPPENS INSTANTLY ,BROKENESS AND MATURITY IN CHRIST TAKE MANY YEARS OF WORKING SERIOUSLY ON YOUR SELF
• TO BRING US TO MATURITY, GOD HAS TO BREAK US OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN AMEN
• I OFTEN SEE CHRISTIANS STRUGGLING TO GET WHAT THEY PERCEIVE AS SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND BLESSINGS FROM GOD
• THEY GATHER AND ACCUMULATE AND ARRANGE AND AMASS WHAT THEY CALL BLESSINGS
• ALL THE WHILE WRITING THEIR LONG LIST OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
• PERHAPS WITH THE HOPE THAT THEY WILL ONE DAY BE ABLE TO HAND THEIR RESUME TO GOD AND SAY, “SEE WHAT I’VE DONE OR ACQUIRED FOR YOU” SEE ALL YOU GAVE ME
• GOD’S WORK THROUGH BROKENNESS CALLS US NOT TO ACCUMULATE, BUT TO DISCARD
• HE CALL US TO GET RID OF THIS, THROW THAT AWAY ,, PURGE OURSELVES OF THIS TRAIT AND THAT HABIT
• REPENT OF THAT DESIRE AND THAT GOAL, AND FINALLY STRIP OURSELVES OF ALL THAT IS SELFISH AND  SELF- CENTERED
• UNTIL WE CAN TRULY  SAY, “ALL THAT I AM AND ALL THAT I HAVE IS GOD’S
• HE IS IN ME AND I AM IN HIM, AND THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS
• WHAT IS GOD STRIPPING AWAY FROM YOUR LIFE? WHAT COMES TO MIND WHEN YOU THINK OF BEING BROKEN?
• YOU MUST SINCERELY PRAY ABOUT THAT TODAY
• WHAT HAVE YOU PUT BETWEEN YOU AND TOTAL SURRENDER TO GOD?
• WHAT DO YOU TRUST MORE THAN YOU TRUST GOD?
• WHAT DO YOU LOVE MORE THAN YOU LOVE GOD? WHY DO YOU COMPLAIN SO MUCH?
• WHAT IS GOD STRIPPING AWAY FROM YOUR LIFE?WHY SO MANY TRIALS AND PAINS AND TRIBULATIONS IN MY LIFE
• PETER WRITES “BELOVED, DO NOT THINK IT STRANGE CONCERNING THE FIERY TRIAL WHICH IS TO TRY YOU, AS THOUGH SOME STRANGE THING HAPPENED TO YOU, BUT REJOICE TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU PARTAKE OF CHRIST’S SUFFERINGS, THAT WHEN HIS GLORY IS REVEALED, YOU MAY ALSO BE GLAD WITH EXCEEDING JOY” 1 PETER 4:12,13
• LET US LOOK AT PAUL’S TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS 2 CORINTHIANS 11:16-33
• IN VISITING GOD’S ALTAR OF BROKENNESS, YOU WILL FIND A SPIRITUAL DEPTH NOT PRESENT BEFORE THE TRIAL BEGAN
• CHARLES SPURGEON WROTE “GOD KNOWS THAT SOLDIERS ARE ONLY TO BE MADE IN BATTLE, THEY ARE NOT TO BE GROWN IN PEACEFUL TIMES
• IS HE NOT DEVELOPING IN YOU THE QUALITIES OF THE SOLDIER BY THROWING YOU INTO THE HEAT OF THE BATTLE?
• THE LORD HAS ONE THING IN MIND FOR BROKENNESS:SPIRITUAL VICTORY,
• YOU WILL SOON DISCOVER THAT ONLY JESUS CHRIST CAN TAKE YOUR WEAKNESS AND TURN IT INTO STRENGTH, HOPE AND HONOUR
• WILL YOU TRUST HIM TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE?
• WHY DID THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FALL IN THE WILDERNESS? THERE WERE GOATS AND DOGS AND PIGS AND A FEW LAMBS
• 1COR 10:1-10
• Moreover, brothers, I would not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized to Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.¶ Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be you idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.  Neither murmur you, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.  Now all these things happened to them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the world are come.  Why let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.  There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.  Why, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.”
• WHY WAS GOD NOT PLEASED WITH MANY OF THESE JEWS? THEY WERE NOT BROKEN AT ALL.
• THEY ATE AND DRANK AND JUST LIVED IN IMMORALITY AND IDOLATORY,EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE GOD’S PEOPLE
• THEY ALSO MURMURED OR COMPLAINED A LOT AGAINST GOD
• WHAT WAS THE CONSEQUENCE OF THEIR SINS? THEY WERE DESTROYED AND GOD KILLED 23,000 OF THEM IN ONED DAY
• IF YOU READ THE STORY OF THEIR DELIVERANCE FROM EGYPT YOU WILL SAY “OH GOD CAN NEVER DESTROY THEM”
• HE WENT INTO TOO MUCH TROUBLE TO DELIVER THEM
• MANY BELIEVERS HAVE THIS WRONG NOTION ABOUT GOD THAT HE LOVES US TOO MUCH TO JUDGE US
• WELL GOD HATES SIN.HE HATES IDOLATORY AND HATES SEXUAL IMMORALITY WITH A PASSION
• HOSEA 4:11
• GOD HATES SEXUAL IMMORALITY BECAUSE IT TAKES PEOPLE’S HEARTS AWAY FROM GOD
• THE REASON WHY SOLOMON FELL WAS BECAUSE OF STRANGE WOMEN
• HE MARRIED WOMEN WHO WERE IDOL WORSHIPPERS AND THEY SIMPLY TURNED HIS HEARTAWAY FROM GOD
• 1 KINGS 11:1-4
• “But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites: Of the nations concerning which the LORD said to the children of Israel, You shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in to you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon joined to these in love. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.  For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.  And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.”
• IF YOU DO NOT FOCUS YOUR WHOLE HEART ON GOD THE ENEMY WILL CROWN YOUR HEARTS WITH LUSTFUL DESIRES
• HE WILL SURELY BRING THOSE TEMPTATIONS, BUT YOU MUST BE VIGILANY AND PRAYERFUL.
• SEXUAL IMMORALITY IS NOT TO BE PLAYED WITH AT ALL 1 COR. 5 TELLS U THAT IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SIN IN THE SIGHT OF GOD
• IT IS A SIN THAT CAN EXPOSE YOUR BODY TO GOD’S ANGER AND DIVINE JUDGEMENT
• FIRST YOU MUST SEE IT THE WAY GOD SEES IT AND STOP CELEBRATING PREGNANCY WITHOUT MARRIAGE
• It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that has done this deed might be taken away from among you.  For I truly, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that has so done this deed.  In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ.  To deliver such an one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.  Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? ¶  Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:  Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. ¶  I wrote to you in an letter not to company with fornicators:  Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortionists, or with idolaters; for then must you needs go out of the world.  But now I have written to you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortionist; with such an one no not to eat.  For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not you judge them that are within?”
• ACCORDING TO WHAT APOSTLE PAUL WAS HEARING,IT WAS AS IF THE PEOPLE WERE PROUD OF FORNICATION AND ADULTERY
• THEY WER PROUD TO BE DOGS AND PIGS,SO THEY BECAME GOATS AS WELL
• IT WAS A THING OF PRIDE TO SLEEP AROUND AND GIVE BIRTH TO CHILDREN OUTSIDE MARRIAGE.
• FOR THEM IT WAS NOT SUCH A SERIOUS SIN IT WAS A NORMAL WAY OF LIFE
• WELL PAUL SAID THEY WERE NOT TO GLORY IN THAT SIN ANYMORE
• IT MUST BE SEEN AS AN ABOMINATION .
• HE EVEN SAYS THAT THOSE WHO COMMIT SUCH SIN SHOULD BE DELIVERED TO SATAN SO HE CAN DESTROY THEIR BODIES
• AND THAT WE SHOULD NOT EAT WITH A BROTHER OR SISTER WHO IS AN IMMORAL PERSON
• WHAT WE CALL HIV/AIDS OR SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED SIN IS GOD’S JUDGEMENT AGAINST IMMORALITY
• IF YOU LOVE TO LIKE DOGS LUST YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR SOUL IN DANGER:
• APOSTLE PETER SAYS IN 1 PETER 2:11:
• “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
• PAUL ALSO SAYS IN GALATIANS 5:16-25:
• This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you would.  But if you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law.  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, jealousies, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,  Contentions, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.  And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
• THIS IS ABOUT LUST IF YOU NOW TURN THOSE DESIRES INTO ACTION AND GO INTO FORNICATION OR ADULTERY YOU ARE LOOKING FOR DEATH IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE
• SPIRITUAL,PHYSICAL, EMOTIONALLY AND FINANCIAL DEATHS ARE WHAT YOU ARE INVITING
• IF YOU LOVE SEXUAL SIN YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR HEALTH AND DESTINY IN DANGER
• 1 COR 6:12-20:
• All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.  And God has both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.  Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.  What? know you not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body?  for two, said he, shall be one flesh.  But he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit.  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.  What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?  For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
• THE BIBLE SAYS SEXUAL IMMORALITY IS A SIN AGAINST YOUR BODY
• NO OTHER SIN AFFECTS YOUR BODY LIKE SEXUAL SIN
• YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
• NOW SEEING THAT THIS INDEED IS A VERY SERIOUS SIN,WHAT SHOULD WE DO IF WE FALL INTO IT
• NUMBER ONE YOU MUST RUN TO JESUS AND TRULY REPENT
• YOU MUST REDEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO GOD AND TAKE A VIOLENT DECESION TO STOP SINING
• YOU MUST BECOME A CHURCH AND PRAYER ADDICT
• YOU MUST BE ADDICTED TO THE BIBLE.
• YOU MUST GET RID OF THAT TRADIONAL PRIDE OF SLEEPING AROUND AND MAKING FATHERLESS BABIES
• YOU MUST VOMIT THAT DOG AND PIG SPIRIT AND HATE THAT GOAT AGENDA
• NOW IF IT IS SOMEBODY ELSE WHO FALLS INTO THIS HORRIBLE SIN WHAT MUST THE CHURCH DO?
• IT MUST BE REBUKED OPENLY
• 1 TIM 5:20-21
• “Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. I charge you before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that you observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.”
• THE BIBLE ALSO SAYS OPEN REBUKE IS BETTER THAN SECRET LOVE.PROV 27:5
• BUT THE SINNER MUST BE RESTORED WITH MEEKNESS:
• “Brothers, if a man be overtaken in a fault, you which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering yourself, lest you also be tempted. Bear you one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.  For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.  But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.  For every man shall bear his own burden.”
• JAMES 5:19-20
• Brothers, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
• ALSO READ 11 COR 2:5-11
• But if any have caused grief, he has not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. So that contrariwise you ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. Why I beseech you that you would confirm your love toward him.  For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether you be obedient in all things.  To whom you forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
• A PERSON WHO SINS IS ALREADY SUFFERING A LOT IN MANY WAYS
• PAUL SAYS WE SHOULD SHOW MUCH LOVE AND FORGIVENESS TO SUCH SO THAT SORROWS AND REJECTION WILL NOT OVERWHELM THEM
• WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILTY TO FORGIVE IF WE ARE TRULY SAVED
• BESIDES ONCE YOU CANNOT FORGIVE A PARTICULAR SIN YOU OPEN THE DOOR FOR SATAN TO TEMPT YOU WITH THE SAME SIN
• NOW BEFORE WE PRAY WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE? A LAMB,AGOAT.APIG OR ADOG?
• THE LAMB IS NORMALLY THE COMMON VICTIM ON THE ALTAR
• SO WE CAN ONLY BE PERMANENTLY INHABITED BY THE DOVE IF WE BECOME LAMBS LIKE JESUS CHRIST
• MANY TIMES WHEN WE LIFT UP OUR HANDS AND SING I SURRENDER ALL LIKE WE DID LAST SUNDAY FOR ONE HOUR, YOU’D EXPECT A CHANGE THE FOLLOWING WEEK
• BUT IF IT IS THE VOICE OF THE GOAT OR THE DOG OR THE PIG THAT THE DOVE IS HEARING
• THE DOVE WILL NOT ANSWER BECAUSE HE IS A GENTLEMAN WHO DOES NOT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH GOATS OR PIGS OR DOGS
• REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO 2000 PIGS IN MARK 5? JESUS CAST OUT THE SPIRIT OF MADNESS IN A MAN THAT WAS LIVING IN THE GRAVE YARD AND THE DEMONS BEGGED TO INHABIT THE PIGS
• THE PIGS DROWNED IN THE SEA.DONT CHOOSE TO BE A PIG.
• PIGS EAT ANYTHING AND LIVE ANYWHERE AND CAN NEVER BE CLEAN
• WASH APIG,POWDER A PIG OR PERFUME A PIG,A PIG WILL ALWAYS BE A PIG
• AM NOT CALLING YOU NAMES BUT IF YOU REALLY DESIRE SPIRITUAL GROWTH OR REVIVAL YOU MUST ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT YOURSELF BEFORE SINGING “ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDEREVER AGAIN
• ASK HIM TO HONESTLY TO TELL YOU IF YOU ARE A PIG ,A GOAT OR ADOG OR A LAMB
• THEN YOU CAN FIRST SORT THINGS OUT BEFORE ASKING FOR HIS PRESENCE.
• NOW LETS FIRST STAND UP AND RAED TOGETHER MATT 8:20-28:
• Then Jesus went there, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried to him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, you son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.  But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and sought him, saying, Send her away; for she cries after us.  But he answered and said, I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.  Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.  But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.  And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.  Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great is your faith: be it to you even as you will. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
• MINISTERATION AND PRAYERS:
• LET US KNEEL BEFORE THE LORD AND SAY
• “HOLY SPIRIT I DESIRE YOUR PERMANENT PRESNCE IN MY LIFE IDESIRE A SERIOUS SPIRITUAL REVIVAL”
• “BUT PLS FIRST SHOW ME WHO AM”
• ASK HIM “LORD PLS SHOW ME IF AM A DOG,A PIG OR AGOAT OR ALAMB
• HOLY SPIRIT HELP ME TODAY IN JESUS NAME OPEN MY EYES AND THEN PRAY IN TONGUES
• NOW LET US LET US SING I SURRENDER ALL.
• SR ISABELLA
• FATHER’SDAY CELEBRATION AND OFFERINGS
