this morning as you met the Samaritan woman in our worship today for you are with you to dwell in our hearts we want you to dwell on today first John verses 1 through 10 after one verses 1 through 10 that which was from the beginning which we have heard which we have seen with our eyes which we have looked upon and our hands have handled of the world of the word of life for the life was manifested and have seen it and bear witness and show unto you that eternal life which was with the father and was manifested unto us that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you that ye also may have fellowship with us and truly our fellowship is with the father and with his son Jesus Christ and these things right we unto you that your joy may be full this then is the message which we have heard of him and declare unto you that God is light and in him is no darkness at all if we shall if we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness we lie and do not and do not the truth and if we walk in the light as he is the light we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ his son cleanseth us from all sin if we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to clean cleanse us from all unrighteousness if we say that we have not sinned we make him a liar and his word is not in us may the Lord add a blessing to the reading the hearing and the doing of his word hallelujah thank the Lord that we can go to him in prayer hallelujah and that we can confess our sins repent of them and the Lord will forgive us away away of his holiness bless your name Jesus thank you Jesus hallelujah there is not like Jesus hallelujah at this time we will have hallelujah special music this morning by elder kevin ross amen praise the Lord is anybody thankful out there let me hear say thank you Lord about you but i'm glad today he's been good to me i can't say thank you Lord when he's down people can't get the drug at this some say they just can't beat barbers and muggers seem like no place is safe but you've been my protection every step of the way and I say for protection every hour right now we're going to receive a powerful word from the man of God say thank you Lord as it comes in Jesus name and it's greatly to be praised when we think about what the Lord has done for causes us to worship him what he's done for me in my life think of the goodness of Jesus and all that he's done for me my soul cries hallelujah hallelujah come on somebody say hallelujah thank you Lord for all you've done for me thank you hallelujah hallelujah he's so good amen and he supplies all of our needs when we come to think of it that we belong to Jesus and he belongs to us yes he's our father and he makes a way now that that might sound kind of trite but that's heavy that's deep he makes a way yeah he's able to do anything he's able to do anything that is he's able to do more than we can imagine our frail minds can't conceive how deep how wide how great our God is it's truly a blessing to be in the house of the Lord on this afternoon now well this morning when we come together the Lord meets us here at this place and I thank God that he cares for us and he meets every need and I'm going to talk today some what along that line what we're going to consider today is how to be saved I was born into a family the parents were saved many years before I was born and I always went to Sunday school I have certificates in my office perfect attendance in Sunday school but I didn't do it on my own they got me there and I thank God for that now while we went to Sunday school we went to children's meeting between Sunday morning service and evening service and we were taught to live right and they told us without peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord and they taught us 1 Thessalonians 5 22 that that was our slogan 1 Thessalonians 5 22 tells you exactly what to do and that says abstain the very appearance of sin but they didn't tell us how to be saved they told us a lot of scriptures and we agreed with them that they didn't really tell us how to be saved well I'd like to talk today for consideration we'll be looking at Romans chapter number eight this is one of the most important passages in all of the scriptures its subjects cannot be overemphasized when we begin to live our lives and people see if we're living what is in this text they'll say it doesn't take all of that you're just going overboard well I want to say you can't overemphasize what the will of God is for you and your life power of God's spirit and the life of this of all believers if the believers need anything if they need anything he needs the power of God's spirit so we're going to talk about the power of the Spirit of God our reading to your hearing beginning at chapter number one where it says there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who walks not after the flesh but after the Spirit let me read that there's therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who walks not after the flesh but after the Spirit now let me just put a little something in here everybody who's a believer is not condemned because everybody who is a believer walks in the Spirit right if you're not walking in the Spirit you're not a believer all right so now the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and you know how you were if you'll admit it if you stand in the mirror and look at yourself you see a difference in where you are now than where you started amen if you can't see a difference in where you started and where you are now you're in bad shape you haven't been changed what happened what has to happen for every creature every man woman boy or girl who's on the face of the earth if they don't have an experience with Jesus Christ the righteous they'll be lost throughout all of eternity and it's no do-overs the Spirit of God is the best thing that ever happened to creation now we all have to admit whether you know scripture or not but everybody has to know they were born in sin right and there was no remedy that they could bring forth to be set from his sinful position right the Jesus came down wrapped himself in flesh and came down to the earth and he came down with the purpose of changing lives and he said here are the rules now in sports a lot of us like basketball but in basketball you can't just do what you want to do and make points they're boundary lines and they say stay within this boundary and you get the ball unexpectedly it kind of catch you off guard but you get it and start to dribble anyway and you get over close to the line and step on the line and you're called out that's a hard feeling it's a bad feeling been there well now when basketball has rules and you're called out purely by stepping on the line for a second the rules that are set before us in the scripture carries more weight than I remind it the scripture says that if you look upon an individual with lustfulness you've already committed the act the rules are strict and people say you all go too far you can't go too far if you're walking with Jesus and we all have the same problem we were born and wanted what we wanted from the day we were born have three daughters and all of them have different personalities but when they all got here they were sinners and they wanted to do what they wanted to do yes without restrictions well as a child you have to look toward the parent for direction and Jesus is our father yeah we can't make up the rules I don't make the rules up I I've said from time to time I didn't write this I received it as God's word right and so don't look at me cross-eyed when I tell you you can't be smoking and drinking and getting high fornicating don't treat don't look at me cross-eyed when I say that it's in the book and so we've got to walk by the spirit live by the spirit yes you got to learn how to deny yourself it's not easy but it's worth it amen first two for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin so what that says is when you're walking in the flesh when you were born you were born into a sinful state and you couldn't help yourself but Jesus saw the condition of mankind and he said I'm not leaving my people out there like that he said this is my greatest creation mankind he said I created man to bring praise to me he said but the devil some kind of way got in there and and got to talking and caused them to begin to walk willfully he said but I'm not letting that go down like that he said I'm going to ransom them I'm going to restore those that belong to me they're mine yes he's possessive yes he's possessive he said the law of the spirit of spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free all of us who are walking with God we've been made free and we don't have to be tempted like other people we don't yield to temptation come on somebody yield not to temptation because yielding is sin so God has set us free he said we're not condemned when we do it like he said for what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh God sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin condemn sin in the flesh the law could not accomplish a turnaround from the flesh the reason there's two sections in the scriptures one in the Old Testament and one in the new is because the Old Testament was too hard for people to keep right people just couldn't do it they'd walk with God for a minute before you know it they'd turn around and go in another direction you know about when Moses went up to receive the tablets came back and the people were completely crazy the Lord said I'm going to write you a new contract so he said the law could not do what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh God sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin condemn sin in the flesh so now Jesus came down to prove it can be done yes it's difficult it's not a part not a walk in the park not a piece of cake it's difficult but I want to tell you it's no problem with doing something that's difficult when you got somebody on your side when you got a helper that's going to help you pull the load he said it's able to be done because I'm going to help you so when Jesus came down he came down and got in fleshly body and he was tempted in every area just like we attempted I don't know if y'all understand I don't know y'all if y'all feel that Jesus was tempted to do anything that mankind can do he was tempted to go off on somebody when they looked at him wrong he was tempted to to shoot somebody when they step on his shoes I just got my shoes shining you stepped on so in every area that we might be tempted I'm going way out you know I want to go to the extreme because it proves my point everything you've been tempted to do Jesus was a man he was the god man but he was a man in the flesh and everything you might have been tempted to do that's nothing new he was tempted to but he didn't sin he refused the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walked not after the flesh but after the spirit Christ condemned sin in the flesh Christ provided righteousness for those who do not walk after the flesh but after the spirit what we need to do is we need to get ourselves together we need to make a determination that I'll walk with Jesus no matter what comes no matter what goes you can't make it too tough because God is on my side the power of God lives in residence yes I don't have to try to find out where he is all I got to do is say Jesus he's right here in my spirit right in my soul right now just call him whatever something happens that not what I say Jesus I don't have to go into a long deep prayer eternal God our Father we thank you Lord God we ask you and so forth and so on all you got to do is call his name at the name of Jesus come on somebody thank you Jesus righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh after the spirit well they that are after the flesh hear this do mine things of the flesh but they that are after the spirit the things of the spirit so now you can't walk with Jesus if your mind is on fleshly stuff all the time that's right you'll be weaker than water if all you can see is sports all you can see is girls all you can see is guys if all you can ever volunteer for is school projects little league baseball all all of that is flesh and my wife mentioned on bible class what our mother used to say to us mother said think about what you're doing and ask yourself is this going to help me on to God you got to think about what you're trying to do to me so now it takes it's a process that we must go through and we can't do it just just by shucking and jiving we got to be serious we have to be determined to walk with God now walking with God is a challenge yeah but it's not that tough when the Holy Ghost is walking with me I've had I had nine brothers to grow up with and sometimes those brothers came in kind of handy when people want to do something to you you know well just know that just Jesus is more than nine brothers Jesus is all powerful all powerful he's got all power in his hand and nothing that come can come against us can be victorious when the Lord is on our side when he is our strength or they that are after the flesh do mine the things of the flesh they that are after the spirit the things of the spirit because verse 6 says for it I like to say because because to be cornerly minded is death now you got to decide whether you want to die or live and I'm not talking about in the fleshly body you got to you got to die or live in eternity so because to be cornerly minded is death but to be spiritually minded is life and peace I want to put that on a scale I want to weigh that out and see which one seems like it ought to be what we're trying to get to accomplish I want to be spiritual I want life and peace then the next verse because the corner mind is enmity against God all right enmity means actively opposed or hostile you know you got to want to miss heaven if you're a child of God when you belong to Jesus there's no way that you you can be hostile against the word of God I just want I just want to be a child of God because it shows me that's my best bet I'm trying to get through here you are I'm trying to get through this life down here because I got another home up in heaven that's been prepared for me and I can't get the key so to speak I can't get the key until I get it right I got to get there and I got to have a key that says come on in so you know when we're tempted and sometimes we don't like to admit that we get tempted I don't mind admitting that I get tempted as long as I don't yield to the temptation you can't help what the devil brings to your mind but you can help whether or not you entertain it start making plans plans will it will eventually turn into an event I want I want to be right I want to be right and I have to throw this in well I'm getting ahead of myself I get ahead of myself that comes on down the end corner of mind is enmity with God or is not subject to the law of God neither indeed can be I grew up in a strict environment in church and there were some things that they said we should do that was actually not scripture and we did it in obedience but I want to say that I can't feel it now that they had us doing something we didn't need to do that's gone that's fast I've forgotten about it but I don't want to be one who heard the word of God the requirements that God has for his people and they said it don't take all of that there were some people who grew up with us who are no longer with us who are not in a heaven heavenly bound position some people just refused to do all the scripture well the reason is they called they had a carnal mind the things in life that were important to them were carnal said it couldn't be for because carnal mind is enmity against God but it's not subject to the law of God and it can't be so then they that are in the flesh can't please God I I've heard people say it all long the years and it's my my saying also I just want to please God y'all don't have to shout on this I just want to please God yes well if you just want to please God what are you doing about it you know how are you responding to his word what is your department like if you're going to please God you got to stay in bounds because the spirit wants to help you so then they that are in the flesh cannot please God you can't please God God God is not pleased I've seen people come and be baptized and filled with the spirit walk with the Lord maybe for a few minutes we don't see them again I've seen people who have continued to come back to the house and the Lord move upon them the spirit of God moves upon them and they still can't find a way to be faithful to God and they they're not pleasing God and they know it but if they could just get in their spirit let let the spirit of God get into their spirit see that's there's a difference they're different spirits you all know that there's a spirit there's a spirit in a bottle if you see that liquor store say spirits well there are all kind of spirits but if you have a spirit that's different than the spirit of God you can't please him you ain't going nowhere when he comes you want to please him yes indeed I'm working on my spirit but you're not in the flesh saints he's talking to us you're not in the flesh but you're in the spirit and if so be that the spirit of God dwells in you now if any man have not the spirit of Christ he is none of his it don't belong to me he said I won't claim you if you don't have my spirit chew on that rejection rejection is awful it's terrible everybody wants to be embraced but rejection is a tough one to handle see actually mankind is not created to be alone he's created to be included but when you're excluded from your family circles or the people who are supposed to be high society when you're excluded from that that don't make that much difference but to be excluded from God the law said he's not mine if Christ's being you the body is dead because of sin but the spirit is life because of righteousness so that means you got to do some right you've got to do right you've got to do right this may not be to anybody in here or maybe but it is what it is you got to please God I it comes from my mind that it's it's really foolish for us to not think about delayed gratification you don't have to have everything you want here on this earth when you have streets of gold pearly gates walls of jasper on and on and on when that is laid up for the righteous you ought to be thinking further than down on the corner you need to be thinking further than over in the bar somewhere you need to be thinking about over in the glory land oh I want to see him to look upon his face there to sing forever of his fave saving grace on the streets of glory let me lift my voice cares all past home at last ever to rejoice I want to see him I want to see him he's my father and I haven't seen him but I want to see his face hallelujah hallelujah somebody says when I get there I'm gonna put on my robe and glory and shout and tell the story I want to see Jesus I want to see Jesus forget the shouting and the robe and all that explanation about how I got over I want to see his face I want to see his face in peace but I gotta live like he says live stay in the boundaries get it right hallelujah hallelujah yeah that sounds good you got to live before you die right you got to live right before you die hallelujah hallelujah now they all take this good now this is encouragement this is encouragement thank you Jesus and if Christ be in you in you the body is dead because of sin but the Spirit is life because of righteousness but the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you come on somebody I'll say that again the Spirit that raised him up from the dead dwells in you he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal body by his Spirit that dwells in you thank you Jesus thank God thank God for the power of the Spirit hallelujah hallelujah you can't it ain't no abracadabra kind of magic stuff it's the Spirit of God hallelujah that causes us to be right in the sight of God hallelujah now we was all rascals and some to a greater degree than others but but all of us were so sinful we had no hope salvation no hope to getting into glory except that Jesus would come and come into our hearts and change our direction cause us to long for him cause us to worship him yes hallelujah hallelujah thank you Jesus talk about the Spirit but the Spirit come on somebody see it's not going to be you know get get your your gloves on and your work clothes and all that he said all it is is by the Spirit his Spirit makes all the difference since since this is true for us verse 12 said therefore brethren we are debtors not to the flesh to live after the flesh you don't owe the flesh nothing hello somebody you don't owe your flesh nothing i'm sorry you all but this is a little personal thing if if you're one who declares this pardon me while i say this i can't understand why anybody thinks they're so great that they need to celebrate their birthday for a whole month that's that's flesh flesh when the scripture says that all of us collectively who are on earth don't amount to dust on the scale and the meat market and you got got to celebrate yourself for 30 days i don't think that pleases the Lord and not in my spirit that don't register in my spirit all right so that that goes along with thinking too much yeah about who you are you ain't that such a much therefore brethren we we are debtors not to the flesh to live after the flesh for if we live after the flesh ye shall die yes but if you live through the Spirit do see through the Spirit do modify the deeds of the body ye shall live now modify modify when you say modify you're thinking in term of a funeral home a mortician so it says if you through the Spirit do modify the deeds of your body if you put to death the deeds of your body ye shall live now i don't see any any escape mechanism in this verse right here it says that if you don't modify if you don't kill the deeds of your body that not complying with the scripture you shall die shall die not or maybe not or could you shall die i'll pause right here when it comes to this and we see this so clearly and we know that there's another place that we will be in throughout eternity you got to start to think clearly you got to think about doing something difficult yeah from time to time i i continue to hear people say well i would do such a such but it's too hard you're not up to doing something this hard it's got to be easy for you in order for you to participate you got to kill it you got to kill that action in you all right let me go i'm almost through you all far as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God look at look at the difference if you're led by the Spirit there's power in the Spirit the Spirit is what causes you to wind up being a son of God for you have not received the Spirit of bondage again to fear but you have received the Spirit of adoption where we cry Abba father he said you got the Spirit of God and you can call him daddy because that's who he is to you because he supplies everything that you need he opens doors that don't exist he makes a way where there is no way he's your daddy yes sir hallelujah hallelujah and then verse 16 said the Spirit itself bears wisdom with our spirit his spirit our spirit when we walk with God yes he's our daddy and our spirits are just alike i can't i can't tell you how many times throughout life even up until this time from the time i was the little kid we're walking together brothers and sisters and say you all look just alike and we've learned to say yes we both have the same mother and the same father so the Spirit is recognized by the Spirit if your spirit is not what it ought to be that Spirit can't recognize that as like him that you ain't like me you gotta tighten it up you gotta move a little closer you gotta dig a little deeper you gotta love me a little bit more than you love me if my spirit is going to recognize you as mine the Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God aren't you glad you're a child of the king oh hallelujah thank God that he chose us to walk with him thank God that he chose to come down and put his spirit in us and give us peace give us confidence that we can make it we can make it hallelujah i'm gonna make it sir hallelujah thank God and if children then we're heirs heirs of God and join heirs with Christ yeah if so be that we suffer with him hello anybody in there willing to suffer anybody willing to pay the price hallelujah i'm willing i'm willing i'm determined to walk with Jesus yes i am yes i am and if children then heirs heirs of God heirs of God joined heirs with Christ yes if so be it that we suffer with him we may be also glorified together together now what what that says to me Elder Ross you know let me say this my parents had 16 children and we were heirs to their fortune i don't know how much they had in the bank when they died but when they said you can go on page and find out if there's money that's left to you and i went on the page it would wasn't hardly $200 but being heirs of the alexander family they left us more than money could pay for more than anything they left us with a desire to walk with Jesus with a determination to do it right yes don't do it cause you're gonna can't scare you good cause do it causes right right hallelujah thank god i'm glad i'm a error i'm glad i'm a error i'm a joy error we shared it together hallelujah yes hallelujah now and if children then heirs and heirs of God now when when you leave something to your heirs it's specified by the one who left it and i understand that there are some people when they make their will out or their trust they exclude some people depending on their deportment one person say i'll not leave my money to someone who doesn't embrace the word of God said they don't get it all right so the one who possesses the object can leave it to whom he desires to leave it to thank god that he chose to share with us hallelujah we're his heirs and we're joint heirs with christ come on he said we're gonna have a party come on somebody oh i want to see his face i want to go to the party we're gonna party down up in the glory hallelujah the heirs are gonna have everything that god has that that's available and it's wonderful more than we can understand so i i want to be with him i want to walk with it that make me want to suffer mind suffering scripture said bless it or you when you suffer for righteousness sake if it costs me some suffering i'm willing to take it because when we suffer the Lord is just building us up and preparing us for the kingdom he's preparing us to be conquerors hello we can either be conquered or we can conquer and i want to conquer come on somebody you can't make it too tough not when you're willing to go the last part of the journey you've got to be willing to stay in the fight yield your spirit to god and the law says it's going to be always well for you he said i'll walk with you yes my spirit will live in you my spirit will will guide you you can walk in the light because my spirit is the light that i prepared for you and when you're walking the light he said i recognize who you are i recognize you're a child of mine because i see you in the light my spirit yeah all right that's the word that the Lord has given for this church today and for those who hear this word you need to stay in round don't fight the spirit let the spirit leave you as i journey through this land singing as i go pointing souls to calvary to the crimson flow many arrows pierce myself from without within but my Lord leads me on through him i must win oh i want to see him look upon his face there to sing forever of his saving grace on the streets of glory let me lift my voice cares all past home and last ever to rejoice oh i want to see him so look upon his face there to sing forever of his saving grace on the streets of glory oh let me lift my voice oh my cares all past home and last ever to rejoice oh i want to see him so look upon his face there to sing forever of his saving grace on the streets of glory oh let me lift my voice so glory let me lift my voice and i'm so grateful i owe him submission i do i do i do i owe him submission a needfulness i owe him when everything amen and if you're having if you're having issues with submitting i know and it's it's it is just true in our culture the concept of father is kind of strange as many of us were not raised with our father's present and you know i know that along my journey the Lord had to show me how important a father is and and he did it in the physical you know amen when i watched my husband's father amen father his sons amen and do the best that he knew how to do you know he showed me how a father and then i watched my husband father our children and it showed me how important a father was and then i looked in the scriptures and i saw the undeniable way a father loves his children and it just drinks to my heart and caused me to want to live right because i understood how important a father is how the heirs amen how a child becomes an heir amen because of what a father does yeah what a father does amen whatever the father leaves amen in the spirit and in the natural is what a child receives amen and it is such a beautiful thing how god made a way for us amen and you know i i i watched a child uh it was a baby he was probably about three years old how he looked up to his father and how he needed his father for protection and to be kept and for sustenance and for everything that child was dependent upon that father for everything and they were in a public place and that child was afraid of something and the first thing that child did was reached up to its father and it was like a child was saying help me protect me you know and i'm like god does it for us on a daily on a daily he keeps us and he protects us amen so it behooves us to follow the rules it behooves us amen whatever is left in the book as a concept of what we should follow amen because the father left it he left it for us to follow amen and i'm just glad i am i'm so glad that the lord saved me hallelujah he saved me from myself hallelujah and i'm just thankful so if you're having issues this morning amen none of us are perfect none of us are amen and as long as we're in this flesh we'll be dealing with it amen we'll be dealing with our imperfection amen but the holy ghost is a present him hallelujah it's a paraclete it walks on the side of you and tells you don't go that way don't you do that you know that wouldn't please the lord amen that's what the holy ghost does amen and maybe somebody in here today is not filled and wants the holy spirit amen that kind of sounds what you were saying bishop come on and get it amen if you're here today and you don't have the holy ghost and you need it you need the power to live right you need the power to follow the rules you need the power to know hallelujah that god is your father amen and everything that you need he will provide if you need that today come on up and get it or if you just need prayer for your walk amen you need the lord to strengthen you in your walk come on come on and get your strength for the day come on and get your

give the same amount but we gave the same percent 10 percent belongs to god and if you do that god he says i will open up the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing and i know there's been a debate was that old testament and new testament i don't care all i want to know is do the windows still work as long as they work i don't care he's gonna pull me out of blessing so we're inviting you to come right now and to bring your offering your ties and your offering give over and above if you can windows are still working he says i will rebuke the devourer for your sake come on and raise
