[00:00:01] Good morning. Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, beautiful day? Hope you're having a great day today. I hope you are excited today.
[00:00:10] Today is a day the Lord hath made. We'll be glad. We will rejoice in it. Rejoice in every single moment that you have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful, be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice. Praise. Praise him and thank him.
[00:00:24] I'm just so thankful to be healthy and getting healthy and getting my strength back, which is fantastic. Although we're working out again. So I don't. I don't know if that's a great thing, but I've been reading and still working the Word and still working this whole. Like, where do you stand now? Once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you are righteous, there's nothing you can do to change that. And God talks about it over and over and over again, especially in Galatians. I went over this yesterday. We have a little, a little study group of guys that, that, that, that go through the Word. But to Galatians, chapter four, verse five, it says. Well, I'll do verse. Verse one, it says. Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all, but is under tutors and governors until the appointed time of the Father. Even so, we, when we were children, were in bondage or enslaved under the elementary rules of the world. But when the fullness of time came, God sent forth his Son made of a woman, made under law to buy out or to redeem them that were under law, that we might receive in full the sonship.
[00:01:38] The law was there in order to bring us to Christ. But now we are righteous, you're righteous. There's no acts that can change that. And if you jump up to verse 22 of chapter three, it says, but the Scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our school master to bring us to Christ that we might be justified out from faith. But after faith is come, we are no longer under a school master. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ.
[00:02:28] It was to bring us to Christ. And once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you are righteous with God. You're no longer enslaved or under the bondage of the law, you're free. And it talks about that too. Actually, I wasn't even going to go over this, but if you go to Galatians, chapter 5, verse 1, it says, Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you, made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. That's a yoke of servitude.
[00:03:01] Stand fast in the liberty. You have the freedom to go where one wants and don't be entangled again with the weight or the yoke of bondage or servitude to the law, because it's not about the law. However, God's face is against those who do evil. You go to Romans. Boy, this is not even going anywhere close to what I was going to do today.
[00:03:23] Oh, it's funny. If you go To Romans, chapter 2, verse 9, it says tribulation. And that's pressure and anguish or distress or afflictions or conflicts upon every soul of man that doeth evil.
[00:03:39] When you do wickedness, when you do evil, tribulation and anguish sets in your life.
[00:03:46] That's why you stay away from it. We were talking last night about, I mean, a lot. A couple of the guys that are in the group grew up under law in the sense that they condemn themselves when they pray. It's always started when they would pray to God. It always started with, I'm sorry for this, I'm sorry for this, forgive me for this, forgive me for that.
[00:04:05] The thing is, is that once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you're righteous. You're no longer under law, but you have that moral, that moral dilemma. You know when you're doing wrong and you feel bad about it, but there is such a difference. Thinking on, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad. And not thinking on the goodness of God. Thank you for allowing me to live this way, because I can.
[00:04:30] Although it is antithetical to the way you want me to walk.
[00:04:34] But thank you for forgiving.
[00:04:37] Thank you for bringing Christ Jesus, knowing that that is the sacrifice that we needed in order to reconnect us. When Adam transgressed, we lost the connection with God.
[00:04:49] And immediately God put in motion for us to get reconnected. It took the laws, it took someone to be born out from those laws and walk perfectly, to be the perfect sacrifice of for us in order to be reconnected with God.
[00:05:08] Once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart, God raised him from the dead, thou Shalt be saved. Once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you are righteous and reconnected. We have the ministry of the reconnection in the Word which it talks about. That's reconciliation.
[00:05:28] We have that with God.
[00:05:30] That's what it's about. I want to finish up with this. This is the first thing I was going to go through. If you go to First Peter, chapter one, verse seven, it says that the trial of your faith being much more precious than that of gold that perishes, though be tried with fire, might be found to praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
[00:05:50] The trial of our faith is the most important. You're going to go through ups and downs in this life, but you focus on God.
[00:05:58] You focus on believing specifically in what you hear.
[00:06:02] You focus on the Word and renew and renovate your thoughts to that in the spirit that you are. Once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ and you are a son of God.
[00:06:13] It's a wonderful life that we live. Pray the big prayers today lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. When you pray, it's always to God. You never pray to Jesus Christ. You pray to God. Christ told you that you pray to God. Lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day. God bless you and your family.
[00:06:31] Talk to you tomorrow.
[00:06:41] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much for today. I pray for man. There's so much to pray. I just pray for that lathe that that is made very, very clear, that we receive what we should receive. If we need to fix the one or if we need to get the new one, that it's just done, it's done quickly. I just asked to take care of that whole financial situation concerning it. I pray that all that product gets out on time and that it's a blessing. I also ask that you kind of order the steps of everything that's going on between the business, the houses, the properties, all the stuff with the wind that you just.
[00:07:16] That you bless that situation and that there aren't any problems. I thank you again for the family that I have, for the people that you've surrounded me with. I pray for we get the mirrors up, the gym. I mean, there's so much stuff that needs to get done. I thank you for your timing and that it's always perfect and that you kind of just. Just iron all this stuff out. I lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
