 chapter 24. And it said upon the first day of the week, very early they came to the sepulchre bringing the spices that they had prepared and certain others with them. And they found the stone from the sepulchre and they entered in and they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass as they were perplexed therefore about it. Behold, two men stood by in shining raiment and they said they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth and they said unto them, why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here. I said he is not here. But he is remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee saying the Son of man must be delivered unto the hands of sinful men and be crucified. In the third day rise again and they remembered his words and they returned from the sepulchre and told these things unto the eleven and all the rest. It was Mary, Magdalene and Joanna and Mary, the mother of James and other women. Thank God for the women. And they were with them and they told them these things unto the apostles. And the words seemed to them to be a fable, a fairy tale. They did not believe. Do you believe today? Do you believe the report of the Lord? I don't know about you, but I believe it. They said, and Peter arose and ran to the sepulchre and stooping down there. Behold, the linen whereby was departed, wandering unto himself. How could these things come to pass? And behold, two men went the same day to the village and they came into Jerusalem above. I'm sorry, I skipped a verse. And Peter rose and ran into the sepulchre stooping down and found the fine linen, laying there in a departed, wandering to himself. How can these things be? He got up, hallelujah. Tell somebody he's risen. He's risen. He's risen. He's risen indeed. Let's celebrate. He got up. Celebrate our risen Savior today. Hallelujah. Bless the Lord. Bless the Lord on this day. By his stripes we are. By his nail pierced hands. By his blood now we have the victory. We send up our praises unto the Lord today in thanksgiving and giving him all honor and glory. Hallelujah for what he has done for us and for the entire world and the faculties of our mind because of our God. Amen. Amen. Let his praises ring. At this time we'll have our Bishop, Bishop Arling Alexander come forward. Please welcome him with the hearty amen. You may be seated. What a privilege it is to be in the house of the Lord, Sunday on this Easter summer Sunday. I want to say resurrection Sunday. I got a little touch. What a privilege it is to be in the house of the Lord and feel his presence as we feel it today. Come on somebody. Somebody got to say amen. The presence of the Lord is in this place. Hallelujah. And we give God's thanks. Glory because we know where we've come from. I just got this scripture right here. I want to just say a little bit on it. I'm not the preacher for the day. The real preacher's coming. Ephesians chapter two says, and you has he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and in sin. Where in time past you walked according to the course of this world. You did everything the world did and you tried to do something even more than according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience and said, among whom also we all had our conversation. We all did our own thing. That's what conversation means. All did our own thing in time past in the lust of our flesh, fulfilling the desire of the flesh and of the mind. And we're by nature the children of wrath. Wrath means big trouble. By nature that's how we came here on our way to judgment. But here I love the fourth verse. It said, but God who is rich in mercy for his great love were with, he loved us even when we were dead in our sins, had quickened us together with Christ, by grace, by grace, the grace of God. Hallelujah. Oh, he went to Calvary, shed his blood, but that wasn't the end. He got off. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And he favored us. Hallelujah. By grace are you safe and have raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Oh, don't you love the Lord? Oh, don't you love him? Hallelujah. He's great and he's great needs to be praised. Somebody up praise him. Praise him. He's a minded God. He said that in the age to come he might show his exceeding riches of his grace and his kindness towards us through the man who went to Calvary, through Jesus Christ. Thank God. Thank God for Jesus. I'm so excited to see each of you who are here today. Thank the Lord that you yielded your will to roll over. Amen. Amen. But the Lord put it in your heart to be here today. Those who are watching by the weight of media, we're glad that you're with us today. We invite you to be with us as often as you're able to. God is good. God is great in this place. This is a good church. This is a good church. If I must say so, being the pastor, this is a good church. Amen. God's people in this church, we love one another and the Lord continues to bless us. Now, starting on next Tuesday, what's going to happen? Shield of faith, Wednesday. I'm sorry. Shield of faith, Fellowship of Churches Convention. And they're coming from all points across the country, even from around the world. We're going to meet together Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. You, yaya, on Saturday. Mr. Maryland, do you have anything to add to that? All right. All right. Yes. And I want to thank you all for meeting your responsibility for supporting the convention. Those who need to be licensed, thank the Lord. They're being licensed. And we're going to have a great time in the Lord. Now, the convention's going to be held in Rancho Cucamonga. And I'll just say this, then I'll turn it over to our next person, special music. When I first came to California at 16 years old, I heard people talking about, way out in Cucamonga. And I didn't think that was a city, even. Who ever heard of Cucamonga? I thought it was just an expression. I come to find out that Cucamonga is now Rancho Cucamonga. And it's a little distance away from here, but it's not the other side of the world you are. So I'm going to encourage you, get in your car, get in your Uber, your taxi cab or whatever, get in it, and meet us down there. You're going to have a great time in the Lord. And I might encourage you to create a carpool if that's necessary. It's going to be a great time. And I'll say as my old pastor used to say, nobody will be able to tell you exactly how it was. You need to be there to experience it for yourself. So we're going to have a great time in the Lord on this next week. So now without further ado, we have special music this morning by a praiser. She's a praiser's praiser. Minister Marilyn Alexander. Let's receive her as she comes with a great amen. God bless you. Praise the Lord everybody. Amen. Resurrection Sunday. I'm telling you that's one of my favorite times of the year, more than Christmas and all that other stuff, because it really speaks to what the Savior did to redeem us the cost. Amen. The cost, the culmination of the cost. Amen. And I am overwhelmed in my emotions up from the Mary clay and set him free. Tell the story. Shouting glory. Y'all going to have to help me with this worshiping. Get excited when I hear the testimony of who got it. I get excited when I see the work of God's mighty hand over your life. I get excited when I think about how faithful God excited. I get excited, immunity, us coming into one with one heart striving together for the faith of the gospel. Hallelujah. You can be seated. You can be seated. You can be seated. I definitely want to give honor where honor is due to the leader and the head of this house. We want to say thank you to Bishop Arlene Alexander. Let's say thank you to Bishop. We're coming back to that. I want to come back to that. Let's also give honor and love and gratitude to First Lady Bobby Alexander. Hallelujah. Thank God for you. And so we introduce First Lady. I want to introduce my lady. All right. My lady, you know, some of you all have seen her grow up from child on up and she is a phenomenal woman. She is awesome. She is beautiful. She is smart. She is okay. God, that's good. It's green. There we are. Now, can you hear me now? Oh, yes. So we thank God that technology has definitely improved and you have to work it though. You have to work it. So we're going to be patient with that and enjoy what God has already been doing. Look at these beautiful upgrades. Y'all clap it up for these wonderful upgrades. It's beautiful around here. Praise the Lord. But back to my beautiful bride. I was telling you that she is an awesome woman of God. What you see is what you get. She is trustworthy. She's loyal. She's kind. She is an awesome woman and she is a mentor to many. She has a record of being a woman of truth, a woman that is doing the will of God. So y'all here welcome with me Alicia Moore. Come on out baby. Thank you hun. Good morning everybody. How are you all? So good to see your wonderful smiling faces in the house of the Lord again. I'm so glad to be back with you all. It's our pleasure. We miss you guys. It's been forever hasn't it? But we're glad to be back with you. You all look wonderful. I just want to send you greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus from Memphis, Tennessee. And so we were here yesterday for the celebration of Angela and Steven's wedding. So we had a wonderful time with family and we're just glad to be back. Just open your hearts, open your spirits and be ready to receive because the Lord is about to pour out in this place. I want you to build your anticipation. I want your faith to be on 10 because God wants to do awesome things. He wants to mark this day in history in your lives. Okay so he's going to bring a word. Just open it, receive it, draw from the vessel that is going to present. Okay so bless you all. I love you so much and I'll speak with you after service. Thank you sweetie. Thank you Lord. So it's going, it will be 20 years, May 31st, that we've been married. It'll be 20 years. Yes. So it is an awesome experience. I mean I get to be with this wonderful woman every day and he that find it, the wife find it a good thing. And definitely I have obtained much favor. Yeah there are times I don't even have to talk. I can send my wife before me and she handles everything because the favor of God rests upon her. So husbands use that favor. Use what God has given you. Sometimes we get to a place I don't want to hear it. I don't want you doing to, no, no, release. Let her go and do and allow her to do and to be who God has created her to be. Hallelujah. So I want us to go back to this. I want us to go back to Bishop and the Lord was impressing on my heart to talk about Bishop. I want to talk about this because it's very important. When we understand the position of honor, we're able to allow a stream to flow into our lives. We allow God's holy stream to flow into us and we get the benefits of what God desires to do. So he is Bishop Arling Alexander. But will he be Bishop to you? Will you allow him into your heart? Will you allow him into your space that he can shepherd and watch over your soul as he's been given a commandment from God to do? He's going to be held accountable for how he's watched for your soul and what he has done in concerning your life, what advice that he's given you and how he has instructed you in the ways of God. The word tells us to not, don't make it grievous for our leaders to lead us. We make it grievous when we come and we ask for advice and he gives us instruction and we go back and we do the exact opposite. And then sometimes we take it for granted and we take it lightly that he's still going to walk through us with us through that particular process. That he told us don't go into it but now he's going to graciously walk us out of the situation. So let's look at our bishop. Let's look at who God is in charge over our souls. He is not a mentor. A mentor you pick and choose and you can cut the relationship off when you want to. But when you have a bishop, when you have somebody that's watching for your soul, sometimes he's going to tell you things that you don't want to hear. Sometimes he's going to pull something from you that will cause you to have to sacrifice and make a move that's uncomfortable to you. But you said I want the best and the benefits from God. Sometimes you've got to be obedient all the time you got to be obedient. But just understand this, that leadership in this hour right now, people are picking and choosing what they want from their leader. They pick and choose and say you know what bishop, I'll allow you to be bishop in this area. But when you start talking about this, no, I got to cut you off. But again, let's be open to what God is saying. God said, I will give you shepherds after my own heart. So when you're rejecting him, you're rejecting God. And when you reject God, there comes with consequences. That comes with the curse instead of the blessing. Sometimes you may not understand, you may not get it. But when an instruction has been given out, you grab ahold of it and believe God, God, I believe this came from you and I'm going to receive it and I'm going to act for it. For instance, he just gave us instructions. Some of us can pick and choose what we're going to do with that instruction. He said it's going to be beneficial for the flock of this house to go to the convention. And he said, if you got to sacrifice, make your way to the convention. And he said, you're going to be blessed. He said, people all over the world are coming in. So there's a mandate right there. He just placed in your heart. So now you've got to choose. Am I going to run with this? Or am I going to go with the crowd? If the majority of us say, yeah, we'll go, we'll go. Now you out to go. No, you got to settle in your heart and say, Lord, you see that I desire to go. I need provision. I need a way, but it's about the heart. When God sees your heart not even willing. He can't do anything with it. But when you're willing to go forward, God will open up the doors and pour you out a blessing that you do not have room enough to receive. I haven't experienced that enough. I haven't experienced blessings pouring out over my life so that I can't even take it no more. I've seen how they can disappointment come over and feel like I can't take it anymore. But how about the blessings of God to overtake you till you just say, Lord, hold up, hold up. That's too much money coming into my house. Lord, wait a minute, wait a minute. That's too much favor. That's too many promotions coming into my life, into my heart. So that's the place that God wants us to be in. So what do you call him? Do you just call him Arling? Do you just call him a kind man? Or do you call him Bishop? Because if you call him Bishop, there is accountability there. That means that you are now held accountable for who you are calling him. You hold him accountable, but when it comes to you, you don't want people to hold you accountable. But we're growing from that, amen. We're growing from that place of doing the picking and the choosing. We're going to run with this 1000% because we're not doing it unto man. We're doing it unto God. And as you do that, it builds integrity. It builds you up to be in a position now that you can be promoted on your job. If you're not learning integrity in the house of God, how can you learn integrity in the places outside of the church? If you're not seeking to learn and to mature and to grow in this safe haven, which God has created for you, you will not get it on the outside. So I'm telling you a secret that can change and transform your life. I'm telling you the benefits of being obedient with a pure heart, not instructions now and going home and that's just too much. I know he's told us to go to the convention, but that's just too much. Now here's the thing. If you have that kind of situation and that kind of thought, do not spread it because the moment you begin to say that out loud, now you're spreading some mayhem. You're spreading some discourse. You're spreading something that the other body does not need to receive. We are to keep each other accountable and build one another up. And so as you are operating in that place of integrity, God sees you. He said, if you seek me in secret, he said, I'll reward you openly. So God wants to do the things allow him in and to do what he desires to do. Wow, there was not a part of what I was going to talk about, but that's good. Amen. So today we're celebrating Resurrection Sunday. Today is the day that we talk about the goodness of our Father and how he rose from the dead on the third day. Now it's good that we all are dressed nice and we have our Easter baskets and we have a good time with the chocolates and our Easter egg hunts. Those things are fun and so here's the thing what we do need to do. We need to make sure that we differentiate the two. Teach your children the truth concerning who Jesus is. Teach your children the truth. Hey, the Easter bunny, that's fictional. We have fun with that. Matter of fact, think about this. We even have fun with our children. We tell them that egg comes from out of a rabbit. Think about that. We tell them an egg comes from a rabbit and we're eating these chocolate eggs that come from a rabbit. Okay, so it's fun. That's part of the festive things that we do, but at the end of the day, now you make a demarcation and you tell your children, hey, that's fictional, but we are celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. We're celebrating the one who bled for all of our sins. When he was on the cross, he received the wrath of God. He was beaten. He was bruised so we can be healed and not only that, but he died and he went to the grave and he rose on the third day. And so when you're sharing these things, your children can be receptive to receive the truth. So when they hear about Noah, it will not be a story that is just a bedtime fictional thing. They will know that the world was actually flooded and God saved the people through Noah. We are here as a result of this man's obedience. We are here because he decided to obey God when it was uncomfortable. He said God, God told him and gave him instructions. He said, build an ark and he began to do what God told him to do. There are benefits in being obedient to God and being obedient to God immediately. Some of us, we think so well. We try to intellect, we have an intellect and we try to think our ways out of situations. We try to think our ways into the next place. But God says, in order for you to go to the next place, I need for you to obey. And I want you to build an ark. It took them years upon years. Sometimes things don't happen in our liking of the time, but God is working on something. In the midst of the persecution, Noah was being talked about. Noah was being put down, but Noah was in a wicked generation. Noah was in a place where the people had just forgotten about God. They were doing any and everything. The word tells how they became violent. There was violence. When somebody is violent, they're very hostile. They're very aggressive and they demand their way. Does that environment sound kind of familiar to you? Doesn't that sound real familiar to you? And so we understand now that Jesus is coming back. He is coming back because he said, before I come there are going to be wars and rumors of wars. There'll be earthquakes and diverse places. He said, I will have brother against brother, sisters against sisters, because my word has come to bring a sword and to divide. I've come to you that you may have life. So we know that Jesus is coming and he has created an ark for us. And that ark is Jesus. Just how Noah, they were in the ark and they was protected from the rain that rained all those days. We will be protected in Christ Jesus. Amen. So that ark of safety is only in Jesus. So continue to tell your children the importance of our Father. I want to talk about Jesus, he died, but he resurrected. So now he is not a historical Jesus. Jesus is alive. Everybody tell your neighbor say, Jesus is alive. That means he's not a museum. He's not a museum. Museum, you go and look at old artifacts, but he is alive and he reigns forever and ever. So we need to, we need to learn a little more about this resurrected one. We need to learn how he feels and thinks about us. So let's, we're going to go through a couple of scriptures. Well now we're going through a lot of scriptures because I want you to leave with the word. All right. So let's look at Matthew chapter 15. The media team is going to be definitely helping us out this evening. Matthew chapter 15 verse 32, right? Matthew chapter 15 verse 32. All right. Then Jesus called his disciples unto him and said, I have compassion on the multitude because they continue with me three days and have nothing to eat and I will not send them away fasting, let they faint in the way. So first of all, we got to understand that Jesus is very compassionate. Jesus has compassion for us. If you begin to feel like God is not compassionate compassionate towards you, you'll feel that he's a mean God. You'll feel that he doesn't care and he's not concerned about even the very food that you need to eat. He said, I want to feed the multitude. Look at Mark chapter six verse 34. Mark six 34 says, and Jesus, when he had came out, saw much people and was moved with what? Compassion toward them because they were a sheep, not having a shepherd. And he began to what? Teach them many things. So God had compassion and his compassion pulled him to teach. It's something you can feed somebody, but it's another thing when they able to go get their own. When you teach them not how to how to enjoy a fish a fish sandwich, but you teach them how to fish. And when you teach them how to fish, now you teach them how to cook. Now they themselves have something that they can have and pass on to the next generation. How many of us have had some good fish before? I'm talking about something. Okay. My great aunt, I was raised by my great aunt and one thing I really should not have done. I should have not have allowed her to go on the heaven without learning how to cook her sweet potato pies. I shouldn't have did it. And there were times she she pulled me into the kitchen and say, Hey, I need for you to do this and if you do this, well, I do it when I get back, but I didn't do it. But Jesus had compassion on us that he want us to be taught. So when your teachers are pouring into you, they're showing you compassion. I know what to do and I want to teach you what to do. So this spirit of pride, you gotta let it go. When something, when you being taught something, receive it with gladness. All right. Let's look at Luke chapter seven verse 13. This is how God feels towards us. And when the Lord saw her, he had what on her and said unto her, weep not even those very tears that you are crying concerning your family concerning your life. God is compassionate towards you. If you think that God is not hearing you and not concerned about you, you're not going to be out to worship him and be excited about his presence. But when you know that God has compassion for you and he's moved to do something for you, you now want to worship him. You now want to give him honor and glory because he has compassion for you. Say, Jesus has compassion for me. Yes, Lord, when I was feeling in school, Jesus had compassion on me. I'm like, Lord, if you don't help me, I'm going to be in serious trouble and God had compassion on me. So he would send people into my life to help me do my assignments to learn what I needed to learn. And so he'll do it for you because he has compassion. And so that same compassion, everybody, God wants us to show that he wants us to live a life of compassion. For one thing, when we come into this house, let the church be the place of safety. Let the church be the place of love. Let the church be the place of encouragement. Let the church be the place that people desire to run through the doors because they know there is life there. Okay. So five areas of where we can be helpful in the churches. Y'all may have heard it as these five love languages. I'm going to spin them out real fast. Hugs. We should come to church and be able to receive a true hug. Matter of fact, let's practice it. Everybody stand up real quick. Give your brothers, brothers, the brothers, sisters, the sisters. Give somebody a hug. Just give them a hug. This is what this kind of house is. This is the kind of church. Bishop said, we are loving family church. Bishop said, we care about one another in this house. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Now already, thank you. See that I just want to talk about. Thank you. All right. See that? Look at that. I can't even get y'all to stop hugging now. That is amazing. Thank you, Lord. So, so understanding, even just a simple act of kindness like that has just made somebody day shift because we are the church. We are the loved ones of Jesus. We are his church and we carry compassion. So that hug just alone broke up some stuff. All right. So, we need to be making sure we're hugging in the house of God. True hugs. I'm not talking about that perverted crazy stuff, but you know what I mean? A connective hug. All right. Another thing, another language is gifts. How many of us have received something from a brother and sister that was right on time? Thank you, Lord. So make sure you think about, Lord, who can I bless today? Who can I be a gift and give a gift to today? You don't know what that $5 would do for somebody. You don't know what that $200, that $300, that $1,000 check, that $10,000 check will do for somebody. So be a great gift giver. Words of encouragement. Now, turn and face your neighbor and say, you're going to make it. God is on your side. You are loved. You are going to make it. Come on. Say it loud. You're going to make it in Jesus' name. Hallelujah. So, words of encouragement begin to do something and stir you up. That should be in the house of the house of God, our norm. You're going to be fine. You're going to be well because the world comes in with all of his agenda and the world puts all this heavy stuff on us. On our jobs, you being told you're not good enough, you're not smart enough at school, you being bullied, you being talked about, you being feeling out and left out on the side. So the house of God is an embracing place. The house of God is an aroma of compassion and love. Spend time with me. That's another one. As the people of God having compassion, you've got to be able to spend time with people. That means you've got to sit down sometimes and listen. We in a society where everybody got something to say. But how about how many of us can be a person that listens and be able to hear their heart and just be able to listen? You've got to give all the answers. Just listen. Yeah. Just be a good listener. And another one is acts of service. Do something kind for somebody else. Mom was bragging about this wonderful soup. Who's the sister that's been doing this wonderful soup? Oh, bless your heart. They have been enjoying that soup. Praise the Lord. Thank you. Thank you. And Bishop been getting him some in too. So they are grateful. That's an act of kindness. You don't know what that soup is doing for somebody's life. You don't know what it means for a brother. I come over there and help you do this. What that will do for someone. I know that you need help with this. Let me come do this. Let me come fold some clothes for you. Let me come do this. How many of us would love a helping hand every now and then? Come on. Raise them high. Y'all see? I'm trying to give you a doorway in. Let somebody know. Look, I need some help. Okay. But that's what who we are as the body of Christ. We're to show compassion. Hallelujah. And I will tell you when you show those words of kindness and when you do those things, it ministers to people. I taught school for 16 years. Y'all want to hear a secret? Y'all want to give y'all a good secret in raising children and all the good stuff and being a person that connects with people. You want me to tell you all a secret? I used to be a band director and I would have a kid. Maybe they came in and they hurt themselves. They have hit their hand and I would say and they would come up to me, Mr. Moore, I hurt my hand. I said, what? And I would just touch their hand. Oh man. Okay. Then I would say, go get you some water and they'll go to the water family and they'll drink that water and they'll come back and they ready to go. Another kid would come up to me, Mr. Moore, I just got a headache. I'm like, really? I just touch them. Really? Go get you some water. They'll go to the water fountain. We had a miracle fountain in our school. I'm telling you, I'm telling you, they come back from that fountain. They good. They ready to go. Now was it the miracle fountain? What was going on? Just compassion, the touch, the act of me listening and showing concern. And when I did that, it opened them up and they would do anything that I instructed them to do. And so they loved that because they saw the compassion and I would do anything for them. Everybody say, half compassion. And another thing of how we need to see our savior, we need to see him as a healer. Mark chapter four, Mark chapter four, verse 24, we need to see Jesus as our healer and he and Matthew chapter four, verse 24, Matthew four and 24. And this thing was went throughout all of Syria and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers, diseases and torments and those which were possessed with devils and those which were lunatic and those that had the palsy and he healed them. Jesus desires to heal our bodies. He desires to heal. So we believe God for his healing power and his virtue to float in and through our lives. He desires to heal us. Look at another verse of him healing. Luke chapter four, Luke four, verse 18. It says, the spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captive and recovering in sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. He wants to even heal your broken heart. So those of us that have experienced traumas, God wants to heal your broken heart because he's a healer and he has compassion for you. God doesn't want you struggling the rest of your life dealing with that trauma over and over and over and over in your mind again. Yes, those ugly things happened and that was not God's plan for your life. That thing that happened in your life was not God's idea to prove and to show you a lesson. That's not our father. He's a good father. He's a faithful father. So that hurt in that trauma that you went through, it came from the devil. But God comes to heal. But you got to open up and let him heal your heart. That boy that treated you like dirt, that girl that left you like this and that situation that happened over here, that abuse, that this and all of these traumas. But God comes to heal. How many of us would want to receive that healing? Say, Lord, heal me. Heal my broken heart from every trauma, from every dilemma that has occurred in my life. In Jesus' name. All right. Look at Luke chapter 18. We'll jump right into that. Luke chapter six verse 18. Luke chapter six verse 18. And they were vexed with unclean spirits and they were healed. These unclean spirits come to torment. These unclean spirits come to have you unsettled. These unclean spirits causes you in a place where you feel like you know that you're supposed to be growing, but it's like something always happening. That's an unclean spirit that is trying to set root in your soul. That spirit of fear that comes to torment you even when you're trying to rest, even when you're trying to excel and do higher things. It's like you just can't do it because that's an unclean spirit, but it's coming out in Jesus' name because God wants to heal you. He wants to heal your heart and there'll be no unclean spirit that's able to rule and abide in your spirit man, in your soul, in your home, in your life. God wants to heal. Tell your neighbor, God wants to heal. Now, he is a redeemer. I'm got to go fast. Whoo! Who is playing games with the clock? Who's doing that? All right, so redeemer. He is a redeemer. The word redeemer means bring goodness and honor to a person. God is a redeemer. Look at 1 Peter chapter 5 verse 10. No, I'm sorry. Titus 2, 14. Titus 2, 14. God is a redeemer. This is what his word says. This is the resurrected one, the resurrected one who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all, everybody say all, all iniquity and purify us unto himself a particular people, zealous of good works. So God desires to redeem us from all iniquity. Everybody say all. That means everything that has gone on in your life, God wants to redeem you. Some of us are ex prostitutes. Some of us are ex thugs. Some of us are ex liars. Some of us are ex selfish people. We used to be so selfish, but God has given you a new name because he's redeemed you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. God has redeemed us and given us a new name. You not that anymore. You've been redeemed. He's established honor back to your name. Hallelujah. Everybody say your name out loud. Charles Moore has been given honor. That name has been given honor. Your name has been given honor by the blood of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. He is a restorer. He is a restorer. First Peter chapter five, verse 10, first Peter chapter five, verse 10, first Peter five and 10, but the good of all grace who has called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, established, strengthened, settled. He will settle you. He is the one. He is the one. All grace has called unto us his eternal glory by Christ Jesus after that he has suffered a while, make you perfect, established, strengthened, settled, and he will settle you. He will restore you here in California. I noticed you all have wonderful low riders. It's been wonderful driving down the street like, wow, that car's really sitting low to the ground. Got the little small tires on it and all that. And I was like, oh man, this is, this is so cool. Seeing all the old antique looking cars, these cars, I see that they've been restored. They've gone back to their original look. Somebody has taken their time to make sure that each detail of this car is back to his original form. And some have even enhanced it and make it look better. That's what is happening in your life when you receive Jesus, when you repent of your sins and you turn from your ways and you give your heart to Jesus. He will restore you. Hit him. He will restore you. Jesus sees you. He is the bridegroom. Look at John chapter 14 verse two. John chapter 14 verse two. In my father's house are many mentions. If it were not so, I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you. In those times, when it was time for a person to get married, the man will have to go and build something and get a house established. And then once the house was built, then they will set the party. They will say, hey, the house is built and the father will give him the blessing. You now can come receive my daughter and take my daughter to the new place that you've built. Jesus said, I go to prepare a place for you. He sees you as his bride. And when I look at my bride and I know how I feel concerning my bride, I said, Lord, you really do love me. You really do care for me. You really do tend to me. You're really tender to me. You're very kind to me because when I see my bride, I'm like, Lord, you are awesome. And so let it be so that God is preparing a place for you because he sees you as his precious bride. Hallelujah. God, another thing, the one who is resurrected, he is a father. Luke chapter 11 verse 13, he is a father. Luke 11 and 13 says, if you then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? If we know how to do good things toward our children, how much more does God know how to give towards us? Where do you think those ideas come from for you to do good to somebody and for somebody that comes from God? But what I want you to understand is we gotta open up the door and allow the Lord to come in, allow his goodness in. We've shut the door because we've been hurt. We've been let down. And so we say every relationship is a toxic relationship. So you don't let anybody in. And God said, I want to use my body to bless you. He said, I will give you favor. He said, I will bless you. He said, I will bless you and give you favor. He said, I will give you good measure, pressed down, shaken over and running over shall men given to your bosom. But you don't shut everybody off. So that means you don't shut your blessings down. He wants to use men to bless you. But because you said, I ain't let nobody else in. I was talked about last time. I trusted too hard. That's not God's plan. God's plan is for you to open up, receive and do and be who he's called you to be because he's a good father. First John chapter three verse one. We're almost done. First John chapter three verse one. Behold, what manner of love the father has bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God. Therefore the world knoweth him not because it knew him not. God has called you a son. He's called you his beloved one. There are benefits that comes with the son. See, there are other children that can come and play at your home. But after they get done playing, they got to go. There is favor when you are a son and you are a child of God. It's time for you to ask the father. Some of us have been let down so much to the point we don't want to ask God for anything. You're trying to get yourself to a position where you feel that you're good enough to ask God for something. You will never, you will never be good enough. It's not happening. You have got to simply believe and receive. Open up and believe God again. Start asking him for stuff that comes up to your mind. I'm not only thinking about a house, I'm thinking about three guest house. So when I call for people, they can come and they can stay in the guest house and I can have another person here and their family can stay here, their family can stay there. Begin to dream. Begin to think those things that are not, you're not capable of doing of yourself because it'll take God. So begin to dream. God ain't giving you that spirit of disappointment. Where is that spirit of heaven is coming from? I bind it up in the name of Jesus. That ugly spirit of heaven is that comes to lie and to kill and destroy your life. We bind it up in the name of Jesus. That ugly spirit, I break it off of your life in the name of Jesus. Come on, let's go ahead and lift up our hands right here. We break you foul spirit of depression. You will not hurt the people of God. You will not come against this fold. You will not prosper over the lives of these people. They will prosper on all sides. I declare that they will be dreamers. They will dream in the deeper places. They will see and they will hunger after you, Lord. You said that those that hunger and thirst after righteousness, they shall be filled in the name of Jesus. We bind you up, you ugly spirit of depression. We come against you now, you ugly spirit of depression. Straight from the pits of hell, you are bound up and you shall not prosper. We release encouragement on the people. We release life on the people. We release joy on the people now in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. Shift their homes right now. Shift their homes, shift, shift it, shift it, shift it. In the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. I receive it. I receive it. I receive it. I receive it. I will dream. I will dream. I will go deeper. I will desire the very best from my father. I will desire again. Come on, say that out with your mouth. I will desire. I will desire the better things. I will desire what you desire to give me, Jesus. I will desire it. Conditions don't got to be according to what you think. Your heart got to be in the right condition that he will do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we can ask our think. It's time to shift your heart. It's time to shift your mind. Jesus is the compassionate one. He is the healer. He is the restorer. He is the redeemer. He is the bride group. He is the father. Break that bastard spirit, that spirit that says you're not fathered. You're not cared for. You're not loved. We break it now in the name of Jesus. You are fathered. You are shepherded. You are loved. God said I will never leave you nor forsake you. I will be with you always. Hallelujah. We say we got the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit gives us power in bonus to preach the gospel. We can't focus on preaching the gospel if we have not received him as father. We cannot preach the gospel if we have not received him as healer. We cannot preach the good news if we know that he doesn't have compassion for us. We can celebrate him being resurrected from the dead if we know that he is not for us. Hallelujah. So that negative lying spirit that's come to sabotage your life is broken in the name of Jesus. It's resurrection Sunday. The resurrected one is here. The resurrected one with all power and authority. The provider is here. The restorer is here. The one who is our father is here. All these daddy issues. All these daddy issues. My daddy wasn't there. My father wasn't there. But Jesus said I am here. Jesus said I am here. Deal with that by simply receiving Jesus as your father. How many more years? How much time will you continue to meditate on that? Jesus said I am the God that healeth thee. It's time to be healed. It's time to be restored to the fullness of who God has created you to be in the name of Jesus. Come on. Let's go ahead and stand for a moment. Hallelujah. With this last one, John 10.10. John 10.10. John 10.10 says this. John 10.10 says the thief cometh not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. But Jesus said I am come that they might have life. Everybody say life and that they might have it more abundantly. So Jesus is the resurrected one and he is the life giver. He's come to give you life. How can the one who comes to give life still be dead? How can the life giver be dead? Think about that. How can the life giver be dead? That's why Jesus is alive. Hallelujah. The life giver is here and he wants to give you eternal life. He wants to give you eternal salvation and joy. He wants to give you peace. So this father that I'm talking about, this joy giver that I'm talking about, if you want to open up your life to Jesus, if you know that what I've said today really pricked your heart, I want you to come down to this altar. If you know what I said to you today, pertaining your life and you know that you need to get some things done with the Lord, come on down. If you're giving your heart back to Jesus, if you're crying out to him, if you know that you need prayer in these areas that I just mentioned, come on down. We're going to pray with you and then we're going to have some of the elders to come and they're going to pray with you and minister to you after I pray with you and lay my hands on you in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. This resurrection Sunday, I will never be the same. This resurrection Sunday, I will never be the same. I let this stuff go. You foul spirit of heaviness. You ugly spirit of heaviness. You are broken. You are broken. You ugly spirit of heaviness. You spirit of despair. You are broken in the name of Jesus. I declare the living word of God to flow over my life. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. Come on, honey. The name of Jesus. Yeah, those of those out here, I want you to continue to begin to pray for the people that are here because their lives are being changed and transformed right here. This is altar business. We're killing this stuff. We're killing all of this. We're not concerned about what people think and are feeling. I need Jesus. I need transformation. I need healing and deliverance in the name of Jesus. Go ahead and lay your hands on her belly right here. In the name of Jesus. Satan has desired to swift you like wheat.

Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah. Any additional prayer you welcome to come and speak and talk with the elders of the church and may the Lord continue to bless you body of Christ. What we thank the Lord for what the Lord has said to this assembly on today. The Lord is mindful of us and he won't let us go. I said he won't let us go. He said that I will never leave you. I'll never forsake you. The Lord is mindful of us and he loves us with an unfailing love. So all we have to do is yield our spirit to the spirit of God and he'll embrace us and he'll carry us through dark dark times bring us into the marvelous light and we'll worship him in spirit and in truth. Thank the Lord for the word that we've received on this morning. Come on. Come on. Thank God. Amen. Thank the Lord for the servant Pastor Moore. Thank the Lord. The Lord uses him in deliverance and we're excited because he's done a great work in our midst on today. Now it's time to receive the offering. Let us worship him in spirit and in truth in the offering. I want to say a word or two concerning this. The body of Christ is supported by silver and gold should we say. And this is God's body and God is faithful to us and he gives to us all of our lives all the way down as far back as I can remember I see the hand of God that has been upon my life how he protected me how he led me and he guided me and as I look back over that life I find that there's a duty that I have that I'm responsible for to him. If somebody gives you something over and over and over they're thinking kindly of you and they deserve to be reciprocated in some kind of way. So what I'll say to you today is it is the duty of the body of Christ to keep the bills paid for the church. In Deuteronomy chapter 16 verses 16 and 17 it said three times a year shall all males appear before the Lord that I got in the place where he shall choose in the feast of unleavened bread in the feast of weeks in the feast of tabernacles and they shall not appear before the Lord in the feast. He says it is the requirement that when you come to the sacrifices when you come into the presence of the Lord don't come empty handed. The last verse said every man shall give as he is able can you say that with me? Every man is is to give as he is able. Now I didn't say as he is willing I became aware of saying back in probably or I imagine it was in the late 60s when people would say I don't have no money. Then under their breath they say for that. I don't have no money to support the church. Well you're commanded if you're a part of the body of Christ you're commanded to support the ministry that God has set in this city. Amen. So it says every man shall give as he is able according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which has given thee. Anybody got any questions about that? I think that's clear. I think it's clear. It's not optional. It is the duty of the body to feed itself. Amen. After you get past a certain age you don't have to ask anybody to feed you. You find out that it is necessary for you to feed yourself and so this is what's being pointed out in this scripture that it is the duty of the body to feed itself give as you are able in accordance to how God has blessed you. Now if the Lord didn't bless you you don't have nothing. You can't give nothing. But there ain't one of us who the Lord has not blessed. So I'm asking you all to remember that this is a great church and I declare to you the Lord that I ordered this church for the city of Long Beach and the reason I know is because I tried to move it out of Long Beach and it didn't work. I looked all around surrounding areas trying to find a church and it didn't work and so I finally got over myself and I said yes Lord you want it in Long Beach? Long Beach it is and so since that has been the direction that God has given me I pass that direction on to you as well. Let us stand with our offering we'll hold our offering I'm holding this for my wife and myself. Hold our offering to the Lord we're making an offering we offer to him first of all we pay our tithe tithe is due to the Lord we give some extra to tell him how much we care for him how much we love him. Alright let's look to God. Eternal God our Father we thank you for who you are. Thank you for your strength for your power. Thank you for your loving kindness your tender mercy. We thank you all God for what you're doing in this place. Thank you all God because you moved through this house on today and we thank you Lord that you've given us the opportunity to share in the work that is being built here in this city. Lord we ask you to look upon those old God who will give their tithes in their offering. You look continually on them in favor and open up the windows we pray and pour out the blessings that are not able to be contained. We thank you because it's your word and we bless you and we know that all these things will come to be you proven yourself so many times and we thank you and we praise you because you're going to do greater things as we go on in your name. In Jesus name we pray amen and amen. We love us. Hallelujah. Thank you for that word pastor. Hallelujah. Thank you for that word pastor more. Amen. The compassion that the Lord has for us. The love of God that he heals us and he delivers it. That's why he sent his word saints of God to heal us and deliver us. One thing before you go further there's no online Bible class on Wednesday night. We'll be at the convention All right, invite all of you to be there with us. Amen. Amen. Come on you all. Amen. I'm going to be there all week. I'm so excited. I am. This is my first full time trip to the convention. Amen. And I'm excited and looking forward to the Lord moving and doing what he has to do. Amen. Amen. Come on. I'm determined to walk with the Lord. Amen. Oh Lord bless the offering God. Thank you for those who were able to give. Thank you. Hallelujah. For the blessings that you pour out. Amen from our obedience. God we thank you and we praise you in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. We're going to get ready to get out of here. We love you all. Have a great resurrection day. Enjoy your families. Hallelujah. And celebrate.
