[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another faith-building message by Pastor David Entry. Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the Word of God.

[0:12] May your knowledge of Jesus Christ increase as you listen. Be blessed. In Hebrews chapter 1 we found out that Jesus is superior than the angels.

[0:24] And actually he started by talking about the superiority of Christ. God in times past, the God of the fathers, the God of the Old Testament related to us, spoke to us, spoke to us in diverse ways various times by the prophets.

[0:50] Say the prophets. Say I can't hear you. The prophets. But in these last days, he's speaking to us. He's spoken to us by his son.

[1:04] Then he began to talk about the son. Seven things he spoke about the son. He said that seven things he spoke about the son.

[1:19] He said the son was appointed, he's been appointed heir of all things. Number two. The son. Through the son, the wells were made.

[1:34] He. Through the son. The wells. Okay. The wells were made there. The universe and everything. And what I like about it is that it is not only.

[1:47] Hallelujah. I have to move. I have to move past this verse. But I'm getting distracted now. But I'll manage it to move past it. The second thing he said about the son is that he, through him the wells were created.

[2:04] In Colossians chapter 1 verse 16, it talks about how the son, Colossians 1 verse 16, talks about how by him.

[2:15] Say by him. By him. Say it again. By him. By him. All right. Don't forget about that. Say by him. By him. Okay. Talking about the son. All right. By him. All things.

[2:25] How many things? All things were created. Then he goes on to just throw a little bit light about that eye in heaven and the earth. Whether it's visible or invisible. Whether thrones or dominion, principalities, all things were created.

[2:37] But so the point he's trying to make is that created. You can end there. You can keep that way. By him all things were created. Then he talks about what are the things that are created in heaven.

[2:50] Okay. Things in heaven that are on earth. Visible, invisible, thrones, dominion, powers, principalities, powers. All those. So he just. These are all created things. Great power is created things.

[3:02] Principalities. What? Created things. Thrones. What? Created things. Dominion. What? Created things. Heaven. What? Created. Earth. What? Created things. All right.

[3:12] So he spoke about these are all created things. Then he said again. Remember. By him. But then he said all things were created. He repeats it.

[3:23] Did you notice that? There's a repetition there. He spoke about created it. All things. By him all things were created. Then this was said all things were created through him. Not by him.

[3:35] Through him. The original Greek stands like he's the substance. He. All right. The things. Go to the next verse. Go to the next verse.

[3:45] Verse 17. Verse 17. And before him. And he's before all things. And in him all things consist. They are held together. The reason why your heart hasn't jumped out of your body.

[4:02] The reason why. Are you aware. Are you aware that the earth. Spins. I mean. Earth spinning. Do you know what it means? It's spinning.

[4:13] On its axis. And we are all still on it. And I've been flown away. Because science will tell you there's something. No. Centrifugal force. All right.

[4:24] It moves from the center of space. But we are still. Why? Because him. By him. All things consist. So. He. Everything was created by him.

[4:36] And through him. For him. Wow. For him. For him. For him. Ordinary human beings. Can't understand it.

[4:47] Hmm. One of the. One of the funniest things. As you go out. Which people ask you. How can you say Jesus is God? How? How can you say God has got a son?

[4:58] Now. In the first. Before you even go into. How can you say God has got a son? Or God. God. Jesus is God. Who do you think God is? If we can establish the philosophy. And the theology of God.

[5:09] Then we can move away. But if you think God has not got a son. That's where the problem is. So. I can't be discussing this with you. Because you can't get it. Because the God you are describing.

[5:19] Is different from. The God I'm talking about. The God you are describing. Can't come as a human being. The God you are describing. Does not have a son. So why are you. Why are you.

[5:30] Why are you trying to talk to me. Like we are talking about. The same God. You are upset. You are upset. Because this God you know. Cannot come and relate to you. That's why you are upset.

[5:42] I mean. How can you say God. How can you say. God has got a son. How can you say that God. Because you don't know this God. I'm talking. That's why I'm talking to you. I want to introduce to you. This God you don't know.

[5:53] Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I like that. That's my God. When we come to church. The God we are worshipping.

[6:04] Is different from the God. Even there are people. In certain churches. Who don't know. They don't know. Hebrews chapter 1. It says that.

[6:15] So Jesus Christ. Instead of talking about the son. Number one. He's the heir of all things. Number two. Go to the next verse. Number three. He is the brightness. The brightness of God's glory.

[6:27] And number four. The express image of his peace. I took my time to explain all these things. So number four. The express. Number five.

[6:37] I upholding all things. By the word of his power. The word of his power. That's what keeps everything together. He upholds all things.

[6:47] So if there's something you should look for. Actually you should look for his word. When the word comes to you. That's what makes the difference. But I'm going to talk a bit more about that. By the word of his power. And. And.

[6:59] When. When he had by himself. Paged our sins. Sat at the right hand of. Majesty on I. He paged our sins. That no prophet could have done this. And I told you sometime ago.

[7:10] If you don't know. Where you died. If you don't know. Whether you are going to heaven or hell. It means that you are going to hell. Oh yeah. It's straightforward. If. Right now. If you die. You don't know. Whether you go to heaven or hell. It means you are going to hell.

[7:22] Come on. How can you say. No one can't. No no. Those of us going. We know. So if you don't know. It's a sign that you are actually going to hell. It's as simple as that.

[7:32] No. I don't understand. How can. Who do you think you are. Who do you know. The one who saved me. Told me I've saved you. And you are going with me. That's it. Amen. Oh but how can you know.

[7:44] I know because I'm saved. Now are you saved. Oh yes. But I don't know whether I'm going to heaven. That means you are not saved. No. Because what it means to be saved is that you know you are going to heaven. Yes.

[7:56] You are going to heaven and you are going to be with daddy. We are just going vacation. We are going back home. We are going back home. Where else am I going. I'm going home.

[8:06] Because you are homeless. Somebody shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. So it's important to understand that Jesus purged our sins.

[8:20] The problem of sin is actually a very big problem. A ton of times people will try and massage their condition their mind. It doesn't matter. I'll be okay. You can be okay.

[8:32] Anyone who can guarantee you forgiveness of sins. I think it is very stupid to follow him. Because he himself doesn't know where he's going. Doesn't know whether his sins are forgiven.

[8:45] Back to the text. So Jesus Christ. Then he talks about Jesus Christ is better than the angels. Hebrews chapter 1. Jesus Christ is better than the angels. And then he talks about.

[8:56] He begins to make a case like that. He can't imagine. He quotes seven Old Testament verses. Just to highlight the fact that Jesus is better than angels.

[9:09] If there is a land dispute. Or if there is a dispute. We go to court. You win based on the documents you can produce. Yes. Yes. And so.

[9:21] Hebrews. He said you guys in Hebrews. Let me show you. The only document that is authentic and reliable is the document of God. That governs the earth. That governs the creation and everything God does.

[9:32] And the document. So he quoted seven. Seven references from the document. That Jesus is better than angels. Because angels have been created with supernatural powers.

[9:46] As you sit now. You don't have supernatural powers. But angels were created with supernatural powers. I have a reason why I said this. Because it's going to come back in the term of the things I'm going to.

[9:57] Angels were created with supernatural powers. We were not created with supernatural powers. Angel. I think in Revelation chapter 5 verse 11. Let me just make sure I get it. Revelation chapter 5 verse 11.

[10:08] It's interesting. It talks about how these guys are amazing. They have access to God's presence. All right. Revelation chapter 5 verse 11. It talks about.

[10:20] And I looked and beheld. There were some of many angels around the throne. Did you see that? Angels around the throne. And the living creatures. We can only go to the throne via Jesus Christ in our spirits at the moment.

[10:33] But the angels practically. They are around the throne. The angels. They just hang around God's throne. Oh, these guys are amazing. I think you should clap for God for angels.

[10:45] Yes. The Bible says that. Revelation. It said, I saw around the throne. Revelation chapter 5 verse 11. It says that the voice of many angels around the throne.

[10:58] And the living creatures. And the elders. And the number of them was ten thousands times. Thousands. And thousands of thousands. Yeah.

[11:09] Lord. That's why. That's why Hebrews talks. Hebrews chapter 12. It says that you have come into the company of innumerable angels. You can't count them. Innumerable.

[11:19] What's the meaning of innumerable? Uncountable. You can't number them one to three. Only God knows their number. But they are innumerable. They are just there. And they are super.

[11:31] Super beings. But it says for you not to get confused. Christ. His status. Christ. He's talking about Christ. Who is the son of God.

[11:42] Who came on earth. Lived a human life. Died a human death. Was resurrected as man. And he's seated on the throne of majesty. Bible says that Christ is higher than the angels.

[11:54] Because God never said to any of the angels. You are my son. That is a serious one. Hebrews chapter 1 verse 5. He said to which of the angels has he ever said. You are my son.

[12:04] Today I've forgotten you. They are very powerful people. But they don't get that status. In the same way he said. To which of these angels has he ever said. Not once has he ever said. Which of the angels has he ever said.

[12:15] Has he ever. He will never tell an angel you are his son. You never tell an angel you are his son. But the son. He said.

[12:26] Your throne oh God. He said. Verse 8, 9. He said. Your throne oh God. God is an everlasting. He said. Your throne oh God is forever and ever. Your scepter. He said that to the son.

[12:37] God said that to the son. And he called the son. Your throne. Oh God. The father speaking to the son. And the father addressing the son as. Oh God. Hallelujah.

[12:50] Hallelujah. So where do we fit in? Don't worry. You are coming. We are coming in. We are coming in. And so we got to talk about the son. And then he speaks about better than the angels.

[13:03] And then he ends by in the verse 14 that the angels. Hebrews chapter 1 verse 14. The angels are ministering spirits. Okay. They are ministering spirits.

[13:14] Sent to minister to those who inherit salvation. So. View me as those who have inherited salvation. They are sent to minister to us. They are servants.

[13:25] As much as they are so powerful. They are so supernatural in their operations. They are servants. They are servants. They are servants.

[13:39] They are sent to minister to us. Because they are supposed to be serving you. You are not supposed to be serving them. They are supposed to be serving. Angels are to be serving us. But angels are.

[13:49] Because they work directly with God. They are precision. They don't make mistakes. The ones who make mistakes are being shipped out. So you can't report an angel to God.

[14:01] Because. They. They. They. They. They. They. They. They serve in his presence. So they don't have faults. They serve us. Are you guys going to come up? I'm coming.

[14:11] Then it goes on. I like the verse. Chapter 2 verse 1. Chapter 2 verse 1. It brings a warning. Therefore we must give. Say we must. We must. Say we must.

[14:22] We must. We. Talking about we Hebrews. We the people of God who have been saved. We the heirs of salvation. We must give.

[14:34] A more. Ernest. Heed. Intense. Heed. Attention. We must give. A more. God will do it for you.

[14:45] You have to do it yourself. What do you have to do? You have to pay attention. You have to give a more serious heed. Don't be distracted. From.

[14:56] These things that you are hearing. He said we must. Therefore. We must give. A more. Endless heed. To the things. We have heard.

[15:07] You. I. You can't be saved. Without hearing. The fact that you are saved. That means that you heard something. Because you. You only get saved by faith. Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8.

[15:18] Says that. For it is. By grace. Are you saved? Through faith. God brings grace on the table. You bring faith on the table. Amen. Grace is God working.

[15:31] Faith is man. Man exercising. His confidence in God. So. God brings grace. You bring faith.

[15:42] Then salvation happens. But how do you get faith? Where do you. Can you go to the market and buy it? No. Romans 10. 17. Faith comes. By hearing. Faith comes.

[15:54] By. Are you getting? So then. You cannot be saved. Without faith. And you cannot have faith. Without hearing. So that means. You can be saved.

[16:04] Without hearing. Now. In Romans chapter 10. Verse 13. It says that. As many as shall. Shall call on. As many as call on his name.

[16:16] Shall be saved. Okay. Shall be saved. Then he says. But how shall they call on him. Whom they haven't believed. And how shall they believe.

[16:26] On whom. Of whom they have not. Head. Okay. So then. You need to hear. In order to believe. To be saved. So you can't tell me.

[16:36] You have been saved. But you didn't hear anything. Then you have not been saved. You are going to hell. I mean. It's a straight. It's not nice to say that. But it's a fact to say that. When you go to the doctors.

[16:48] And they check you. And they say. Hey. I can see. A black. A black suit. Around your kidney. It's not nice to hear that. But what? They have to tell you. So that you can do something. About the situation.

[16:59] It's not that a person. Doesn't like you. He's there to help you. So he has to tell you. The facts. So that he can. So if you are going to. Hell. Now how do you know.

[17:12] You are going to hell. If you don't know. Whether you are going to hell. Or not. That means you are going to hell. That means you are not saved. But how can I be saved? You have to hear. I have not heard anything so far. That you are not saved.

[17:25] Because you need to hear. To be saved. And now. Watch this. He says that. Watch this. Verse 1. He says that. Therefore. Let us give. Therefore. We must give. A more earnestly.

[17:35] To the things we have heard. So if you say. We must give. A more earnestly. To the things we have heard. That starts to imply. That you have heard something. He can't say. To the things we have heard.

[17:45] When you haven't heard anything. Yeah. Yeah. So what is. What is he supposing. We have heard. You can't be a Hebrew. Without having heard. You can't be saved. Without having heard.

[17:56] Okay. I am not communicating. Something to somebody. So let us give more. To the things we have heard. Why? Why should I give. Let. Let. We. Let. Let.

[18:06] Let. We drift away. In other words. It can. These things can slip by. I explained how sheep. That is not moored. Can. Be carried away by the. The waves.

[18:18] To which we just drift away. So you can be sitting beside a miracle. You can be sitting beside. Sitting right in front of a blessing. The blessings of God for your future. For your family. And you can let these things drift away.

[18:31] Hallelujah. Therefore we must pay more. Energy into these things. That. That. We. Don't drift away. Why. Don't we have to drift away. Because.

[18:43] And it brings. Like what I was explaining last week. Verse 2. It says that. If. For. If. The word spoken. That means. If this. This whole thing. Is word based.

[18:55] Spoken word. Okay. If the word spoken. Through angels. Proved steadfast. I explained to you. In the old testament. And. Actually. The law was given. Through angels. Okay.

[19:05] And. All the instructions. That were given to them. Through the angels. Instructions. That. Those things. Were. Valid. It proved steadfast. Because. It told something. Don't touch your hair. It told something.

[19:16] It's better. It says. It should not be touched. When something. Allowed his hair to be touched. What happened? That means. What the angels say. It's steadfast. Through instructions. The angels brought. It said. Even.

[19:26] If so. If the instructions. Angels brought. Were. Proved steadfast. And. Every. Transgression. And. Disobedient. Receive. A just reward. Every.

[19:37] Transgression. That reward. You remember. The reward. I spoke about. Mr. Padusia. Everything. That. Every. Mr. Padusia. Is not. A reward. For doing good. It's actually. Reward. A compensation.

[19:48] Or. Recompense. Reaction. For. Breaking a law. For what you do. Now. Every. Every. Transgression. Every. Put it on the screen again. That's interesting. Interesting. It escaped.

[19:59] My. My. My. Attention. Last week. Every. Say every. Every. Every. Transgression. And. Every disobedient. Will receive it. Everyone. This one.

[20:10] Is not big. That. Big enough. This one. Every. Every transgression. Under the law. Under the law. Under the law. Received a just. Okay. Just. Mr. Padusia.

[20:21] Just. Recompense. Now. In other words. If. If you do this. If you go. Far. 20 degrees. You receive 20 degrees punishment. If you go far.

[20:32] 80 degrees. What do you get? 80 degrees punishment. When it comes to. The reward. For breaking. For transgression. Disobedience. God. Is a just God. Some people will say.

[20:44] But why did Jesus. Jesus didn't do anything. Why did he have to go through that. Because of you. He received that. Just treatment of God. That's why on the cross. He couldn't come down. That thief told him. Come now. And save.

[20:54] If you are God. Come now. And save yourself. And save us too. They laughed at him. That. If you are the. Now he says. The son of God. He can't save himself. If you are the son of God. Jump off. He had to.

[21:05] He had to stay there. Because he was paying for you and I. Listen. Your sins have been paid for. Don't keep them. Hallelujah.

[21:17] He didn't suffer for nothing. He suffered for us. It's called the vicarious death. He suffered for us. The just for the unjust. Once you are in Christ.

[21:27] The Bible says that. In 1 John 1 verse 9. It talks about. How. If we confess our sins. Is faithful and just. To forgive us. And. And. And. Forgive us. Our sins.

[21:38] And. Cleanse us from. All our. Right. Verse 7. Chapter 1 verse 7. It says that. But if we walk in the life. And the blood of Jesus. His son. Cleanses us from.

[21:48] All. Sin. So the blood of Jesus. It cleanses. Your sins have been paid for. In 1 Peter chapter 1.

[21:59] Verse. 18 and 19. It talks about how. We have not been saved. By corruptible things. All right. From our. Aimless conducts. Received from tradition. From. By tradition.

[22:09] From our fathers. By what verse 19. But by depression. But with the precious blood of Christ. As of a lamb without blemish. We have been saved by the blood. That it paces. We have been saved.

[22:20] Bible says that. In. Acts chapter 20. I think yeah. Verse 26 to 28. Somewhere. Acts chapter 20. He talks about how. Therefore. I'm innocent of every man. Verse 28.

[22:31] Verse 28. He talks about. Take it to yourself. Take it to yourself. And to the flock. Among with the Holy Spirit. Among. To shepherd the church of God. Which he paces. With his own blood. Purchase tells you payment.

[22:43] Jesus paid to buy you. So your sins have been paid for. It's paid for. Paid for. Someone shout. I'm forgiven.

[22:55] Unforgiven. In Christ. In Christ. If you are not in Christ. Your sin will take you to hell. I like it when I talk about heaven and hell. Because at the end of the day.

[23:06] It's heaven and hell that will not go. Oh yeah. We are going there. Me I'm going to heaven. I don't know about you. Praise the Lord. Alright.

[23:17] Let me write this text. So Hebrews chapter 2. It says that. We have to be careful. Unless. We drift away. Okay. And then it says that. For the message that was delivered by angels had just recompense.

[23:29] If the message delivered by angels had just recompense. It said then. Verse 3. Verse 3. I like the verse 3. Hebrews chapter 2. Verse 3. How shall we escape? If we neglect. You remember the word neglect. The Greek word neglect.

[23:39] Neglect. Ameleo. If we neglect. If we pay. We do not pay heed. If we disregard. So great a salvation.

[23:51] What makes our salvation great. Is the one. Who brings us the salvation. Some of you have got some stuff in your houses. Gift that was given to you by somebody.

[24:03] And you treasure it so much. Maybe the value is not. The market value may not be so high. But you have so much value to it. Because it was given to you by.

[24:13] You know. Your grandmother. You have a sentimental value to it. Because of where it's coming from. Where it's coming from. There are some things you can't give to anybody.

[24:25] Because of who gave it to you. Our salvation is so great because of where it came from. Jesus gave us the salvation. His person. So it's not just his work.

[24:36] That gives us his salvation. His person and his work. The things he did. The things he died on the cross. To save us. Man. And he himself.

[24:47] He saved us. Not just to save us. To leave us. He saved us into an inheritance. We have been saved from what is perishing? It's such a great salvation. So in Hebrews chapter 7.

[24:57] Verse 25. It says that. He is able to save to the atomos. Therefore he is also able to save to the atomos. Those who come to God through him. Why?

[25:08] Since he always leads. To make intercession for them. That's his job now. That's his job now. He's doing. He's making intercession on your behalf. He's making intercession on your behalf.

[25:20] He's making intercession on your behalf. It's good to have people praying for you. It's good to have people praying for you. But in case no one tells you I'm praying for you. I want you to know that Jesus is praying for you.

[25:34] He's praying for you. Tell someone Jesus is praying for you. Jesus is praying for you. He says he'll ever live it. He'll ever live it to make intercession for them.

[25:47] Who are the them? Us. Us. He's making ever. Ever. He's always alive. And he's sitting at the throne of majesty. And interceding on your behalf. Interceding on your behalf.

[25:59] First your salvation. And your forgiveness of your sins. Once you have saved. You must also enjoy forgiveness of sins. In case you sin. 1 John chapter 2 verse 1. In case you sin.

[26:09] We have an. The word is advocate with the father. Ooh. If we. Anyone says we have an advocate. Where is he? He's with the father.

[26:20] So it's not just that you are going to heaven. Whilst you are here. He's talking to the father about you. About your health. About your business. About your career. About your marriage. About your children. The things that matter to you.

[26:32] He's talking to the father. He's making sure that your forgiveness of sins is being effected. So he says that. Watch this. He says that. 1 John chapter 1 verse 9.

[26:42] He says that for his faithful and just. To forgive. His faithful. The key word. Faithful. Two words. Faithful and just. God can't say he can't forgive you. Because someone has paid the price. And he's. So God is faithful.

[26:53] He's just. If he doesn't forgive you. He's unjust. He can't. He doesn't have any grounds. Not to. Ah. Not to forgive you. God doesn't have any grounds. But to forgive your sins. When you confess your sins.

[27:04] As a believer. Shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. He doesn't have any grounds. Because he's a just God. And actually. He's faithful to the deal. Jesus has paid for it.

[27:16] So. Jesus said. Daddy. So. The angels are about to. Allow. That. Sickness. To wipe off your. Skin.

[27:28] Because of the mess you have done. And then you pray. God. Forgive me. Not because of your sickness. But you just genuinely ask for forgiveness. But you didn't know that that sin. Because sin.

[27:38] Yeah. Sin. Sin. Sin. Sin. Comes with sickness. Anytime you see there's sin somewhere. Just don't look fast. Sickness is also there.

[27:53] Read your Bible. He said. Who forgives all your iniquities. And then heals the diseases that came with the sin. Jesus healed the man. He says that. Go.

[28:04] And sin. That means he used to sin. That's why the thing came. They asked him. Who sinned. That this man was born blind. Is he his father? Because the man was born blind.

[28:15] Before he was born. Before he could do anything. He had the sickness. So who sinned. It was a common knowledge. Common understanding that. Sins come with sickness. So Jesus healed the man.

[28:26] He said. Go. And sin no more. Less a worse thing comes on you. Anytime you see people feeling comfortable in sin. Just don't look too far. Doctors are waiting.

[28:40] Hallelujah. But because. What she was expecting. I don't know what's legal rights.

[28:53] Or what allowed that sickness to come around you. But because we have an advocate with the father. Are you getting me? Because we have an advocate with the father.

[29:05] And he has paid for the sins. That means the sickness doesn't have any rights. Legal rights. To stay there. Every sickness in your body. If you are a believer.

[29:16] Every sickness in your body is illegal. Yes. Yes. That is why he said. We are coming to some greater salvation. How can we escape if we neglect it?

[29:27] You have to know this. Other than that. They'll slip by and suffer like others suffer. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. He says that.

[29:39] Let me just move on to that text. Oh my turn again. How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation. Watch this.

[29:50] Watch this. Which at the first began. Began. That's as it ended. Not spoke. It said. Began to be spoken by Jesus.

[30:03] And was confirmed to us by those who heard him. So the thing is. Someone hears and begins to give. Is giving the audacity to pass it on.

[30:13] So those who heard him. There and then. In John chapter 1. He says the things we have seen. The things we have heard. The things we have handled.

[30:24] That's what we are speaking to you. So you don't slip by. I get to what I'm saying. The things we have seen.

[30:36] And so. They heard him. They spoke to us. They began. Watch this. This is interesting. Thank you Holy Spirit. I told you. This whole thing is word operated. The universe.

[30:46] Everything in life. Is word operated. If you don't have words. Or don't know words. You will suffer in life. You want to win the court case. You must have a lawyer. Who knows how to use the words.

[31:00] Two things. You must know the words written. Law. Okay. When you go to court. You must know what is written. The words written. And you must know.

[31:12] How to speak it. Declare your case. Argue your case. Court is about arguments. They can't say that. Yeah. We can't.

[31:22] We know. We know you stole it. But we can't. You have argued your case. That you didn't steal it. The. The. The. The. The. The prosecutor. Couldn't.

[31:33] Code gently. Ague the case that you did it. And the defense have been able to defend. Ague that. I didn't do it. Even though everyone saw. You. Everyone know that he did it.

[31:46] Wes. Say Wes. Wes. And so. If even human written words. Can win in a law court. How much more you have in the word of God.

[31:59] The word of God. You win in life with God's word. I said you win in life with God's word. You win. You triumph in life with God's word.

[32:09] Amen. That's why the devil can't do anything. He has to first of all take away the word from you. By making you always sleep when you are reading your Bible. By making you say things like. I don't even know what to read. I don't even. But I've quoted about seven.

[32:21] More than seven scriptures. You haven't written any of them. And yet you go in my seat and say. I don't know what to read. I don't know where to read. I don't. When you are quoting. Why didn't you write it. I think. Go and start from there. He said.

[32:34] Then who is making you. So that the word will sleep. After services. You have to buy the message. Or get the message. Hear it. And hear it. So it doesn't sleep. There are things I'm saying.

[32:47] Which you won't hear now. There are things I'm saying. That even me. I'll hear it later. When I hear it again. Yeah.

[32:58] Always. The word. So you have to pay careful it. You've listened to so much music. And so much music. And you like. So much music.

[33:08] And music. And music. And now you polish it by saying. This is gospel rap. Let the word rap you.

[33:19] In Colossians. I'm quoting another one. In Colossians chapter 3 verse 16. It says. Let the word of God dwell in you. Richly. If the word of God is not in you. You are. You are cheap prayer for the devil. Even though you are saved.

[33:32] You can. Show me someone who is saved. And doesn't have a word. And I'll show someone the devil will be throwing about. Beating about. Satan will be working you. Working you. As a person. Satan is working you.

[33:43] Bible says. He sent his word. And healed. Yes. That's why you can't afford to go to a church. And you don't hear the God's word. I'm just trying to tell somebody.

[33:55] Download the messages. Listen to the messages. Be careful. So the word of God doesn't. You see. How many of you have tried to grow some plants and garden before.

[34:07] If they don't. Nice crops don't just grow. You have to make them grow. And deal with weeds. So if you're thinking. Oh. Things will just happen. Word of God will be just developing in my system. Because I go to church.

[34:17] And I. Oh. My pastor. He can preach. Oh. I'll be sitting listening. That's not enough. That's not enough. That's not enough. You will be very empty. And Satan will blow you.

[34:28] This one is even too heavy. Some of us. Some of us. We are like this. Satan. These things are too heavy. Maybe I'm not eating that.

[34:45] Shout hallelujah. It's very important. Pay attention to the things you have heard. Jesus saves.

[34:57] How can we escape? How can we escape? If we neglect so great a salvation. Which first. At first. Began to be spoken to us. By the Lord. And was confirmed to us.

[35:09] By those who heard him. Then the next one. That's where. I thought that's what I was going to preach on verse four. So I came prepared. With the Greek word for science. Simeon. The Greek word for wonders.

[35:22] And then the Greek word for miracles. Dunamis. Dunamis. Dunamis. Dunamis. I mean. I came. I came for verse four. I came for verse four.

[35:35] Says. God also. Four things. God was bearing witness. To the words that were spoken. God also. God says. Jesus. He did not read the words that were spoken to you.

[35:48] I said. Jesus said. Jesus. Jesus said. If. I do not understand the words I do. I said.

[36:08] God doesn't do miracles because someone needs them. God doesn't do miracles because someone is suffering. That's why there are all kinds of doctors and experts to help the suffering, manage the suffering.

[36:23] He does miracles to confirm. That's why he does it. He does these things to confirm his word, to show that he's behind it.

[36:36] He told Moses, take this road with which you will do wonders. Moses said, if I go and they don't really listen to me, what would I? He said, do wonders with this road. If they don't believe what you are saying, when they see what you are doing, I'm not sure.

[36:52] Hallelujah. In the book of, can I preach at all? In the book of Acts chapter 2, verse 22. Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, a man, say a man. Say a man.

[37:04] I can't hear you, shout a man. Jesus, Jesus, man of Israel. Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did through him in your midst.

[37:21] Amen. A man. Yet, when he spoke something, the Bible said God was the one doing it. God did it through him in your midst.

[37:31] That should let you know that he didn't come by himself. In John chapter 3, the man came, Nicodemus. He said, we know, we know you are a man sent from God. Because these miracles you do, no one can do them.

[37:44] God is, and listen, and he said, and he gave, he confirmed with the Holy, giving the Holy Spirit. Gifts given by the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit himself said gifts. God's business is to confirm his word.

[37:57] The Bible said he confirms the counsel of his messengers. I can't wait for next week. Simeon, Teras, and Dunamis. Did you receive something?

[38:10] Come on, put your hands together for the Lord. Shout hallelujah. Shout hallelujah. Thank you for listening.
