 Let's shoot this morning. I wanted to worship and to praise you today. We thank you for keeping your angels and camped around us. As we came into your house today, we ask that you keep your angels and camped around. We pray that you anoint every portion of this. My name wanted this morning, amen. No difference, what you're going to make it. Hold your head up, put a smile on your face. This is just another test, what you're going to make it. God's up, put a smile, it's just another. Let me encourage you, it's going to be hurting. Deep down, let me encourage you, it's going to be. God's got a blessing, God's got a blessing, God's got a blessing. God's got a blessing. Hallelujah, our God, he never fails. And his word is yay and amen, hallelujah. God has always been good to me, hallelujah. And if we look into our own lives, we'll see that God has always been good to us. Amen. Thank you, Jesus. I love you, all my days. I've been here from the moment that I wake up until I look all my days. I've been here from the moment of the goodness of God. In darkness, you are clothed as a father. I've known you in the goodness of God. I've known you as a father in the goodness of God. And I would dwell in the house of the Lord. Amen and amen. Thank God for his goodness this morning, amen. We'll have the bishop this morning, amen. Please greet him. Hey, everybody, come on, let's do better than that. We just promised it with all of our life, with all of our breath, we'll sing of the goodness of God. You may be seated. Oh, get thanks unto the Lord because he's good and because his mercy endurance forever. I thank the Lord for those who are here today. Thank the Lord that we have another opportunity to come into his presence. And we've come with singing and praise. And I did some amaze at how the Lord works things out. You know, our program is not structured as maybe some others might be, but the Lord connects everything that comes into this purview. When our scripture was Psalm 150, it said praise the Lord. Praise God in the sanctuary. Praise him in the firming of his power and it goes on and on and on. And that's what we've done this morning. Come on, somebody. I need to hear amen. The Lord has moved in this place. For that, we're truly grateful that he would choose to come by and dwell in this house with us. I want to just have just a remark or two. I want to remind you of the convention. I'm gonna call on minister Marilyn to come and we're gonna encourage you to be prepared. The convention is right around the corner. There are things that have to be handled in a business sense. So I'm gonna encourage you now. I'm gonna encourage you, she's gonna say it too. I'm gonna encourage everyone to register. And wherever you find yourself able to land in registry, I want you to do that. See, I became accustomed to hearing a phrase that said, people say, I don't have any money. And what they were saying is, I don't have any money for that. So if you got some money, I'm gonna ask you to support the work of the kingdom of God. God is worthy of everything we are and everything we've got. So I'm gonna ask you to shake your pocket book. Shake your sock or wherever you keep your money. And find God worthy of a sacrifice on your account. Come on minister Marilyn. God everybody, Scripture tells us that the Lord causes us to arise to every good work. And I don't know about you, but I have found shield of faith fellowship of churches to be a good work, things are going on. Amen, this church, this fellowship. Amen, I've found to be working tremendously in it. Amen, and he places his approval in specific areas. He does, he does. He doesn't just give his approval to every denomination or whatever it is you wanna call it. Every sector is up saying it's all about him. You know, he has anointing on, amen. And I know shield of faith is a great work, amen. And I thank God, amen, for even having the opportunity to be a part, amen. The shield of faith, fellowship of churches convention. Our theme will be, I was taken out of the book of Acts. Amen, 15 and 16. After this pandemic, the whole body is needing some rebuilding you all, amen. And so this is an opportune time for amen for us to get oil washed. And whatever it is that we're needing, amen, to rebuild and to rejuvenate and revive for the kingdom of God, amen. Special guest will be Bishop Kelly R. Woods from Covenant Worship Center in Berkeley, California and Bishop Gentry Richardson from right here in Los Angeles, amen. And for the women, amen, Apostle Veronica Moore will be there on Friday at one o'clock. PM and on Saturday, amen. Can I have all the young people say yaya? A whole lot of young people in the house. And Bishop Jason Nelson, amen, will be the special guest and he'll be ministering there on Saturday, amen. He is a world-renowned international gospel singer and the Lord has highly anointed in, in the gift of ministry, amen. So you don't wanna miss any of it. There are seminars that are being prepared, amen, for your edification every day, Wednesday, April the 12th through the 15th, amen. Things that will up build and uplift you and edify your spirit, amen. And also the registration is only $20. Things that are going on and people want 150, 200, 300. Some folks asking 10,000 and going on with a special self. But anyway, hallelujah, our registration is only $20. And we're asking also if the Lord so touches your heart, if you will sponsor, amen, for $100. You can sponsor up to five people with that $100 or you can just give the $100, amen. God is worthy of it and the kingdom of God deserves, amen. The benefits we receive so much from God, amen. And this is an opportune time to give back. So prepare your hearts and your mind. If you wanna be, if you wanna work with the choir, I actually have the song list. We can get it, you can get that today. And we also, we have a prayer list. Everybody, please pray because this isn't an opportunity. Apostle Henry and Bishop Marty wanna make sure all the financial ends are taken care of before we get there so they don't have to go through taking offerings, long offerings and so forth. So make sure that you pray, that God will move and God will do it. Amen, touch our young people, amen. The special cry out for our young people because the enemy ain't playing but shield of faith ain't playing either, amen. And so we just thank the Lord, prepare your hearts. We have one more week and then we'll go into the convention week. So just wanna encourage you, stay encouraged. Get your minds and your hearts and your finances and everything prepared so that we can have a wonderful time in the Lord, amen. God bless you. Gene Words. At this point, we're gonna have our special music. Sister Shia. All right. Let's receive Sister Shia Gilliam as she comes. With a song given to her by the Lord. God bless you. Praise the Lord everybody. The song says, if you provide the fire, I'll provide the sacrifice. And this song right here, it speaks to me because ever since I've been so dedicated to coming to church and giving God my all and giving him the sacrifice, he's been giving me the fire, favor, grace and I couldn't be more thankful. So let's sing this song. If you provide the fire, sacrifice. If you provide the spirit. I won't be satisfied. Tell my cup. Scripture said the day you seek it with. Let's seek God. Seek God in earnest. So give us the victory that we seek. God bless you Sister Shia and Singers. Amen. Without further ado, I'll introduce to some and present to others the speaker for this morning, Elder Kevin Ross. Amen. And we know that he has a word from the Lord for us in this place. So I'm gonna ask you to stand. Let's stand and receive the speaker for the hour, Elder Kevin Ross. God bless you Elder Ross. Bless me so all I could think was anointing that if you provide the fire, I'll provide the sacrifice. I'll make myself available to burn. All I need is your anointing. I can't do it by myself. I pray that the anointing of God will continue to flow. What a blessing Sister Shia, we thank you for that. Praise the Lord everybody. You can go ahead and take your seats. I'm so honored to be here. Give honor to our bishop and our first lady. Give honor to the ministers. I honor our guests and our saints. And my testimony is the same. I was saved, I'm being saved, and I'm gonna be saved. And it's not by any goodness of my own it's simply the grace of God. I was so excited Wednesday night when Minister Merlin, she was teaching and she introduced her topic. And I believe I got it right. It says, do you really believe what you say you believe? Is that right Sister Merlin? Do you really believe what you say you believe? And I felt like running if I could run, I would have ran, but I says I can't run, I ain't gonna mess, you know. See, but a few days before that the Lord gave me the message for today and it says, it only works if you believe. So you put it together, it says, do you really believe what you say you believe because it only works if you believe. God's saying the same thing to us as a church. Have faith in God and have the faith of God. He's good, let's pray. Father, we just thank you for this time together. We thank you for your words, sir. We give you praise, we give you glory, we give you honor. You have provided the fire and we bring the sacrifice of praise and we have come to bless you and to honor you. So help us God, use us God, give us a word for your people. We will bless you in the name of Jesus, amen. Romans 117 says, and the just shall live by faith. The just shall exist by faith. The just shall survive by faith. The just will prosper by faith. The just shall persist and endure by faith. God has made provisions for us in advance, Bishop. Even before you get that he has provided provisions, but it's only gonna work for you if you believe it. The foundation of our faith is based upon the account of God, who he is and what he does. We believe that God is highest in rank, power, and authority. We believe that God is creator and sustainer of everything. We believe that we owe God worship by right of creation. He created us and right of redemption. He redeemed us. And so we believe that he is a waymaker, a miracle worker, a promise keeper, he's a light in the door. He's all of that. There's so much more. If you believe, then you'll see the goodness of God. But you gotta believe it. Now there are many people that don't believe what we believe. And they would try to convert us to their way of believing. Many people have many different belief systems that they hold on to. Some believe in the Big Bang theory that there was a cosmic bane and all of a sudden it just all kinda came together. Some people believe in evolution that man evolved from a one cell, a neighbor, and became a man. That's kinda like saying there was a piece of metal that sat on the ground and involved into a watch. I don't think so. I don't think so. Some believe in secular humanism and on and on and on, there are all kinds of different beliefs that people hold on to. We have different platforms and media outlets and all of them are pushing what they believe to be right and what they believe and what they hold on to. But the question is today, whose report will you believe? And I will believe the report of the Lord. I don't know about you. I believe I do know about you, but we're going to believe what God said. To many people have tried to figure out some of the what's and some of the why's and how it all comes together. But at some point, you simply have to believe the word of God. You can't figure it out, the exes and the owls, but the Bible just says have faith in God. So you can be going through a test and a trial and you try to figure out how in the world am I gonna get out of this? But when you have faith in God and you go to God in faith somehow He brings you out, somehow He turns it around, somehow He makes a way out of no way. I was talking to somebody yesterday, I said, who do you know that can win a war with frogs, flies and grasshoppers? God did it. Who do you know that can divide the red sea and cause people to walk across on dry land? God did it. The Bible says, is there anything too hard for God? So no matter what you're going through, no matter what the problem is, just have faith in God. He's gonna bring you out. But it ain't gonna work for you if you don't believe it. It's just that simple. Sister Merlin taught us on Friday night in the Bible class and it was wonderful. We wanna give a shout out for Bible class. If you don't come on Wednesday night to Bible class, you are missing it. I'm gonna tell you, we hear some good stuff and we ain't gonna tell you about it on Sunday. I shouldn't have even told you today. No, no, that's right. But Sister Merlin said, his ways are not our ways. And his thoughts are not our thoughts. See, sometimes people think, I could figure out God all by myself. But at the end of the day, his ways are not my ways. See, I think I'm pretty sharp. I think I got it all together. But I found out his ways are not my ways. His thoughts are not my thoughts. He can do things I couldn't even imagine to do because he's God. See, sometimes we talk about God and we just kinda just throw it out there. But when you think, consider all that is behind that name. And then he said, and I've given him a nameness above every name and not the name of Jesus. Every knee shall bow. It's all wrapped up in the name of Jesus. So question is, do I really believe what I say I believe? Do I really believe the report of the Lord? Do I really believe the report of the Lord? I was thinking about that. What you believe will change what you say and what you do. If it doesn't change what you say and what you do, then you don't really believe it. See, James said, you show me your faith by, you know, what you say, I'll show you my faith by what I do. So we take the word of God and we act on the word of God. God has done some great and wonderful things in our lives. God has given some exceeding great and precious promises to us in his words, but none of it is gonna work unless you believe it, unless you believe the word of God it will do you no good. Turn to Hebrews chapter four. Hebrews chapter four, you know, Hebrews chapter four. You know, first let's look at Hebrews chapter 11 because I wanna start there and then go back to four. It says, now faith is a substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things that not seen says by the elders obtained a good report. It says through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God. So things which are seen were not made from things which do appear. It says by faith able offered unto God a more excellent, a more excellent sacrifice than came. By which he obtained witness that he was righteous. God testifying love his gifts and by saying he being dead yet and speaking. By faith in it was translated that he should not see death and was not found because God had translated him for before his translation, he had a testimony. There's something about when you have a testimony. See words don't mean much if you don't have a testimony behind what you're saying. He said he had a testimony and the testimony was I please God. See when I'm going through a test in a trial and see God he's merciful he's forgiving and he'll help me but you know what when I know I please God that I know he's gonna bring me out and he's gonna bring me out all right he's gonna make a way because I've tried to please him. He said if you're ways please me I'll make even your enemies sit down and shut up. I had four daughters and they were excellent students and I told them if you bring me these and see some I'm gonna let you live in my house I'm gonna let you stay in my bed I'm gonna let you eat my food but we ain't going to Disneyland or Knoxbury forms. See but it is something about the favor of God. So he had a testimony that he pleased God but here it is, here it is. But without faith. But without faith. See faith is kingdom currency. If you need God to do something if you need favor from God you need to have faith. He says but without faith it's impossible to please him. In the story. It says for he that cometh to God must believe. He that cometh to God must believe, believe what? It says believe that he is. Believe that he exists. We used to sing a song years ago oh I know that Jesus is real. If he's not real to you he has no power in your life. But when you believe that he is real then you can come to him in faith because you believe that he is and that he's a rewarder of them that diligently, faithfully, constantly seek him. Now go let's go back to chapter four because I want to put this together. For verse one and two. Now over in 11 it says but without faith it is impossible to please him. For verse one. It says let us therefore fear less a promise being made of us of entering to his rest any of you should to come short of it. And it says for unto us was the gospel preach as well as unto them. But the word preach did not profit them not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. So the word says let us be careful that we don't miss any advantage of any of the promises that God has made to us. Let's not miss it. Let's not come up short. It says some heard the gospel some heard the word of God preach but it did not work for them. Why? Although they heard it. They heard the word. They heard the good news. They heard the good report but it was not mixed. Their hearing was not mixed with faith. Their hearing was not mixed with believing. See when I hear a word from God even if I don't say it out loud in my mind I say I believe that. If I hear something that sounds crazy but it's in the Bible I say that must be for me because I mix what I hear I mix faith with it because my faith activates the promise. I like that. It said it was not mixed with faith although they heard it it did not work for them because it only works if you believe it. See God promised the children of Israel the land of Canaan the promised land. And Hebrew says for those over 40 says they did not enter into the rest of God because of unbelief. See a lot of us think maybe they didn't enter into the promise because they sin, yeah they sin but God said that wasn't the paramount problem. He said they didn't enter in because they didn't believe. See if they believed that I got it right. If they believed they would have repented. He said but they did not believe it was not mixed with faith and the problem with that is it only works if you believe. The Bible said God is not a man that he should lie nor the son of man that he should repent. If God said it now we have to know that God said it and not mama and them and not Ray Ray and them. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day he asked me a question. He says when you go to God and pray does he usually agree with you? I said surprisingly he always agrees with my prayer. He said you better go back here and listen again. See we have to get a mind to know the difference between my spirit my human spirit and the spirit of God. See because I've discovered if I see God and I get a word to go do something that's right that I don't want to do I know that's God. It didn't come from me because I know I don't want to do it but if God said forgive I got to forgive if God says repent I got to repent if God said move I got to move because if I'll do what he told me to do if I believe the report of the Lord he'll bless me. Over and over and over and over again see some of the common reasons people give for not believing or there is no evidence of God I can't see him I can't touch him but we just read in Hebrews is that we must believe that he is and that he exists even when I don't see him when I don't feel him I know he's there and he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him in other words if I live for God he's going to bless me if I live for God he's going to make a waste for me if I live for God he's going to open some doors that no man can open and no man can shut that's all the evidence that I need some people feel like he didn't answer my prayers write this down God is not your sugar daddy you can't tell him give me a job give me a car give me some money and a honey now he'll do that but don't you walk up and demand that you do it right now he's not on demand he's on worship he's on praise he's on trust I come to him and I make my request known but I add this disclaimer if you don't give it to me right now please consider for your consideration maybe later and then you know some people some of the excuse another excuse is somebody at church hurt me they hurt my feelings I got news for you everybody at church have been hurt and some of us two or three times every Sunday been hurt see we need to grow up and stop acting like a baby the Bible said quit and be like me said be strong in the Lord in the power of his might because he'll bring you out he'll deliver you but you gotta be strong you gotta fight the devil not people but the devil he was a big one I read it and it knocked me out of my chair some people they can't believe cause they wanna be sexually free to do whatever they wanna do they wanna do it too it's another thing write this down sex is reserved for married couples only write that down and under but write men a husband and a wife you can't have two of the same but a husband and a wife it is reserved for them but people have reasons they have all kinds of crazy reasons that they use to justify not believing God or to stop believing in God second chronicles 2020 says believe in the Lord and you shall be established believing in his prophet the man sitting right there and you shall prosper see it only works if you believe him if you will have confidence in that man right there if you will bless that man right there God will cause you to prosper that's the book I didn't write it he was here when I got here but in the book of second king chapter 6 and 7 Samaria was under siege the city was surrounded nobody in and nobody out no food in no food out even the 99 cent store was closed it was rough y'all the situation had got so bad that they were eating donkey heads they were eating, they were selling it and see a donkey head was considered unclean but if you get hungry enough you gonna eat some stuff that you never thought you'd eat now I don't deal with chitlins but if I got hungry enough I put me some hot sauce on them bad boys and call a steak and go for it I might have to hold my nose but if you hungry enough you won't even hold your nose you'll be eating with both hands the situation had got so bad that they were taking dove dong to make soup just like camel soup good oh my goodness the situation was so bad two women got together said look today we'll eat your baby we'll eat my baby and they ate the one woman's baby but the problem was the second woman took her baby and hid her baby see you can't trust in people people will let you down people will hurt your feelings can anybody testify to that don't raise your hand I know you're out there things were out of control they were selling food for two and three times what it was actually worth just like they're doing today these major corporations are price gouging they're taking advantage of the moment I live in Inglewood they send us a thing and they said don't get upset but when you get your gas bill and your electric bill it's probably going to be two or three times what it normally is because they can't and they roll back they gave us some money back but things were that bad but the good thing about it was God sent a word hallelujah one word from God will change everything one word from God will turn your situation around one word from God will open doors for you one word from God will heal your body all you need is one word one word so it's as soon or later it's going to turn in your favor turning your Bible to 2 Kings chapter 7 2 Kings chapter 7 so they're in this lockdown the city is under siege nobody can get in nobody can get out and people are literally starving to death we live in America we've never seen real gross poverty but I've come to meet some people that have seen people starving to death and that was a situation in chapter 7 verse 1 and verse 2 it says and then Elijah the prophet said hear ye the word of the Lord thus said the Lord tomorrow about this time measure a fine flower shall be sowed for a shekel and to measure a barley for a shekel in the game of Samaria verse 2 it says and then a Lord a leader whose hand the king lean answered the man of God now you better be careful how you talk to the man of God I'm not talking about myself but I'm talking about this man right here see because he carries the anointing you know David said touch not my anointing to do my prophet no harm so he this man is bold enough he answers the man of God and says behold if God would make windows in heaven might this thing be in other words you must be crazy you're talking like you have lost your mind how is God going to do this it is impossible but the word said but with God all things are possible I don't have to see it I don't have to understand it I don't have to figure it out all I have to do is know with God it's possible and he said behold I shall see it with your eyes but you shall not eat thereof you're not going to taste it so 2 Kings verse 7 one they're in this famine and God makes a promise he says about this time tomorrow everything is going to be turned around and then in verse 2 this man this unbelieving man that one of the leaders that works with the king said I don't believe the word of the Lord that was spoken how could it happen and then the man of God says you're going to see with your eyes but you're not going to be able to touch it you're not going to be able to eat it because of unbelief it's not going to work for you because you don't believe God took four lepers led them to the enemies camp God in the enemies camp found the blessing so you need to know God's got a blessing just for you now you have to get up and go get it he's not going to just lay it in your lap but God's got a blessing with your name on it and can't nobody have it but you and you've got to go get the blessing and this is what I like about it they went and found the blessing they enjoyed the blessing and they went back and shared the blessing when God blesses you do you share what God has done for you with somebody else or do you hoard it all up says for me in my own I'm going to put it in my can and sit on the can I didn't sound racist about it I'm sorry I just talked about that scratch the can thing y'all know what I'm saying so they went back and they shared now let's go back to chapter 7 let's look at verse 18 through 20 said and it came to pass as a man of God had spoken sang two measures of barley for a shackle and a measure of fine flour for a shackle it says she'll be tomorrow about this time at the gate of Samaria says and that Lord that answered the man of God and said behold if the Lord should make windows in heaven should this thing be it can happen that's crazy do you see what's going on said and he said behold I shall see it with our eyes and you're not going to eat thereof verse 20 it says and it fell unto him for the people tried him the people trampled upon him the people ran him down into the ground he was right at the gate he saw it but he couldn't have it he couldn't taste it he couldn't touch it he couldn't eat it because he didn't believe see that unbelieving man he died because he did not believe the report of the Lord and it only works if you believe it God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt they believe what God said they put the blood around the doorpost but it came to me I would just imagine Pastor Bobby that some of the Egyptians saw what they were doing and laughed but you know what in the morning all of their first born were dead they didn't believe it didn't work for them Noah built an ark out in the middle of nowhere and he built an ark and Noah said they said Noah why are you building an ark he says because it's going to rain you know what they said and we ain't never seen rain before but if there was a brother he was almost prophetic he said when it came to that Noah should have said how long can you treat water see because Noah believed God Noah acted on what God said Noah obeyed God and then it rained and everybody drowned but Noah and his family got to make it up in our mind no matter what it feels like no matter what it looks like no matter what people say I'm going to believe the report of the Lord I'm going to believe what God said I'm going to do what God said do we have to believe the report of the Lord and I said all that to say this the question is today whose report are you going to believe I will I will believe the report of the Lord his report says I'm healed his report says I'm filled with the Holy Ghost and power his report says I'm free I believe it free from sin free from sickness free from poverty free from lack someone said God said it God said it God said it God said it God said it God said it whether you believe it or not that settles it if God said it the best I can do is I line up with everything God says if he says it can happen I say I believe it if he says I'm going to do it I say I believe it if he says I'm going to open up a door and make a way I don't know how you're going to do it but I believe it I believe the report of the Lord Mark 11 23 Jesus said speak to the mountain you speak to the mountain he didn't say I'm going to speak for you he says you speak to the mountain and tell it to be cast into the into the midst of the sea and it says and it shall be done so I'm going to speak to the mountains in my life I'm going to speak to the trouble in my life I'm going to speak to the situation in my life and I'll tell them you got to move you got to move you got to go in the name of Jesus they got to move they've got to move tell somebody they've got to move they got to move they got to go God said it I'm confident that this thing is going to work for me because God said it God said it he said it and I believe it this is the day of victory this is the day of breakthrough this is the day of celebration this is the day for running this is the day for shouting this is the day for dancing because the enemy has been defeated and Jesus is Lord and we win we win we win do you remember tell your frenemies tell the devil to his face we win in Jesus name we've overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony and we declare that Jesus is Lord I believe I believe the report of the Lord and I believe it because I found out it only works if you believe God bless you whose report do you believe I'm encouraged by the word of the Lord Scripture says that as a man think it in his heart so is he think it in his heart his inner most being think it when it seems totally impossible think it in his heart and in the last Scripture Elder Ross used Mark 11 23 just above it the testimony that we are to believe is the testimony of Jesus Christ now when you go to court I've been on jury duty way too many times and I've come to understand the system and when you're trying to win your victory you need somebody to testify you don't have to go to jury duty to see that you can see that on Judge Mathis when a person says well the guy next door said that's inadmissible you need to have witnessed it yourself but when there's a credible witness that comes forth with testimony that's where victory comes to be Jesus said in this verse he said have faith in God therely I say unto you that whosoever shall say unto this mountain be thou removed and be cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe those things which he said shall come to pass it shall come to pass whatever your test or trials that comes into your purview when you believe God's reports if you believe that God says you can move a mountain the mountain will be removed hallelujah it shall be shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things which he shall say I'm sorry what he says shall come to pass he shall have what so ever now what does that include what so ever everything what so ever that means whatever your mind whatever your heart can conceive of and you have the faith and the testimony of Jesus Christ that is possible all you've got to do is lean on God's word lean on his word hallelujah lean up on the arm of Jesus he'll help you along amen what I want to do is I want to today if there's anyone present who's not yielded themselves or not availed themselves to the testimony of Jesus Christ when he says that whatever you need he said I can fix it if you can believe in your heart that the Lord can make you prepared for heaven if you believe it in your heart God said I'll do it for you He said I'll come into your life make the things that are wrong I'll make them right he said I can give you the victory but you got to engage me as your lawyer he said I'll take your sins away the day that you seek me with all your heart he says you'll find me and I'll give you victory like no other at this point I would invite anyone whether you're in the building or whether you're in the media land you need to come to Jesus if you've not I'm right with God many people feel like there's nothing to be done I've heard about people who heard this recently from a testimony from someone said people said I used to go to church I don't believe it anymore I don't have anything to do with

you to come to the altar effectual problem whatever test we're going through we can come to Jesus and he'll embrace us he'll give us victory the church was began back in act when the spirit of the Lord fell upon those who believed his report he says I'm going to send a comforter when I send the comforter the comforter is going to be with you now the disciples had walked with Jesus but Jesus left and he says I'm going but I'm going to send back a comforter the comforter that he sent was his spirit to live inside of you when the spirit of God lives inside of you you allow him to guide your life that's where our victory comes through the power of God by baptism in water in Jesus name and the infilling spirit of God the Holy Ghost that will prepare us to see God's space in peace and I'm

to go to heaven and also everyone wants to be blessed everyone wants to be blessed who don't want to be blessed everyone wants to be blessed but there's a way to be blessed in Proverbs 3 9 10 it said honor the Lord with your wealth with the first fruit of all your crops they said then your barns would be filled to overflow it and your vats will brim over with new wine in the living Bible it says honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency from righteous labor and with the first fruit of all your income so shall your storage places be filled with plenty and your vats be overflowing with
