[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another destiny-changing word by David Entry from one of our Revival Seeking Youth Services. If you want to control your world, catch the word. Be blessed.
[0:17] In Matthew chapter 5 verse 6, it says that... Let's all read it from the screen. Let's go.
[0:30] Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Say it again. Read it again. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
[0:40] Read it for the last time. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. In Acts chapter 13 verse 20, 21, and maybe we add 22, it says that, Acts 13, 20.
[0:57] After that, he gave them judges for about 450 years until Samuel the prophet.
[1:09] And afterwards, they asked for a king, so God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin for 40 years. And when he had removed him, he raised up for them David asking, to whom he also gave testimony and said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man.
[1:36] A man after my heart. You can't be after God's heart until you have a heart for him. So it was David who said in Psalm 67 that, my soul follows hard after thee.
[1:56] My soul follows hard. My soul. It was David who said in Psalm 42, verse 1, that as the deer pants after the water brook.
[2:09] As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you. So my soul pants after you.
[2:23] One of the best things that can happen to any human being on earth, especially when you are young. The younger you are.
[2:34] It doesn't matter your age. It's always the best position to be in. But when you are younger, it gives you the best of life. It's a hunger for God. A heart for God.
[2:46] So when Jesus resurrected from the dead in Matthew, chapter 21, verse 16, that was as they were eating fish. Jesus asked Peter, verse 16, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than this?
[3:03] Your love for Jesus must always be more than for others, other things, and more than others do. Do you love me more than these other guys?
[3:16] Or do you love me more than the fish you're eating? It still means the same thing. More than what you are enjoying. The best position to be in life is a heart for God.
[3:32] That's why who you do God with matters. Because for some reason, people who have great destinies in God are so much always influenced and touched.
[3:46] By others who have a heart for God. If God is going to do something meaningful with your life, you begin to develop attraction for people who have a heart for God.
[3:59] That means God is beginning to help you. In fact, was it yesterday's reading? Yeah. In fact, Psalm 15, it spoke about who stands in the holy sanctuary of God.
[4:17] In other words, when you read the Message Bible, it puts it in a very funny way, 15, verse 1. How does the Message Bible put it? Who gets invited to dinner at your place?
[4:34] How do I get on God's guest list? You want to be invited for dinner?
[4:49] You want to make it your name to be on God's guest list? There are things that you have to also do. It's not enough to say Jesus has done it.
[5:00] There's things that if Jesus, okay, listen. Are we all not born again? Like many of us have been born again for, how many of you here have been born again for about three years?
[5:14] Okay, some people don't understand what it means to be born again. Jesus is now living in your life. You are ruling your life. You are in constant fellowship with Jesus and with the saints.
[5:25] And you are active in Christ. You know you are serving the Father in spirit and in truth. You don't have issues about your life. You are fully in Christ. That's what it means to be born again.
[5:36] Not just being in church. You've been born again for over two years or three years. Over three years. You see? But not all of us are at the same level of blessing. Some are getting more blessed.
[5:49] Others are not getting that blessed. So that means that we can all be children of God, but not all of us will enjoy the blessings of God to a certain dimension.
[6:01] So what Christ has done for us is to make us qualified to stand before God to be blessed. But now, the dimension of the blessing is determined by certain things we also do.
[6:15] Who gets invited to go to be on girls' list? A girls' guest list. Wow. I'm on girls' guest list. I've been invited to dinner at girls' place.
[6:30] Wow. When you read from the New King James Version, the verse 2 tells us, He who walks uprightly, do you see?
[6:45] You see? What does it mean to walk uprightly? You're not dodgy. Your behavior is not dodgy. So you see, this is what I'm saying.
[6:56] We can be in church. We might not know other practices you are having because it's well covered. Because you are good at it. Your weakness or your disadvantage in life is that you are good at covering up.
[7:14] So when you are even sinking, you cover it up. Before we realize, you're under the sea. Oh, what happened? We thought you were fine. No, no. Cover up.
[7:27] Cover up. Cover up. Yes. Is it not the same when you go to school? You go and sit. Everybody is going to the library. You are at the library for 15 hours or 14 hours, 12 hours in the library.
[7:43] You're like on a computer. But you're not steady. Yeah. You're not steady. Yeah. You are not steady. Every time, oh, I'm going to the library, guys.
[7:56] Oh, I have to go to the library. There are times you tell your parents you have lectures, but you are somewhere. So final exam is coming.
[8:16] You didn't learn. You looked like you were learning with us, but you were not learning. You see, then when the result comes and then jobs begin to flow based on results, you realize that you didn't, you're not hurting somebody, but you were hurting yourself, your own laughter, your own future, and your own advantage.
[8:41] Do you understand? It's the same way. Who will be invited to share in God's, be on God's list? Well, life is about choices. But where you receive the word and where you fellowship determines to a large extent the outcome of your entire life, your marital life, your destiny.
[9:06] Your charity. It's very cool. It's not simple. It's not simple. So when you are choosing a church, you don't choose because it's close to me. You don't choose because my family like it.
[9:17] Carice is so blessed. Because we didn't set out to depend on material things. We set out to seek God. And not just that.
[9:27] God has blessed us. Because I've done this thing with a very pure heart. A very pure heart. I mean, listen.
[9:40] When I'm talking, I am a Christian at core. Not a Christian at church. A Christian at core. My core is Christian.
[9:50] If you take away church. The reason I'm doing church and I come here is because I'm a Christian. I'm a Christian at core so much that I'm a church addict. Because I'm a Christian at core.
[10:03] Listen. If you want God to bless you, who are the people who qualify for this kind of certain type? We can all be in church. But it doesn't mean we will all shine.
[10:16] No. We can all be doing outreach. But it doesn't mean we will all shine. Because some of us, you are doing the outreach and your motive is not sold out for Christ.
[10:28] Something else is motivating you. Femme. You also want to be a pastor one day. So people can listen to you and you feel. That's why you want to be a pastor. That's why it's your ego.
[10:41] Don't start that. Don't start ministry by developing appetite for the rewards of ministry. The physical rewards of ministry. The things that ministry brings naturally have become your target.
[10:54] So you miss ministry targeting those things. Wow. He said that those who will be rich. First Timothy chapter 6 verse 10. Those who will be rich.
[11:05] That word there doesn't mean you end up becoming rich. It means that those who desire. Verse 9. Those who desire to be rich.
[11:18] Is it a sin to desire to be rich? No. That desire there is, I will get money at any cost. If money becomes your motivation, you are befriending people because of their money.
[11:32] That's it. Those who desire to be rich. It's money. Fall into. You fall before you realize. You fall into temptation. Not only temptation.
[11:44] And a snare. A snare is like a trap. You fall into a temptation. You fall into a trap. And you fall into many foolish. They tell you, I won't.
[11:57] But how did I end up with this? You fall into foolish. Foolish and harmful lust. Because you desire. Watch this.
[12:07] This is very interesting. Because you desire to be rich. You fall into, not trouble. No. It didn't say you fall into trouble. No. What do you fall into? And then what?
[12:19] And then what? Many foolish and harmful lusts. So you fall into temptation. You fall into traps. And you fall into lusts. Lusts.
[12:31] Okay. You fall into lust. But this type of lust is the foolish ones. And harmful. It has ruined your destiny. Yeah.
[12:45] Ruined your destiny. Every lust is not good. But some. It's very harmful. It's very harmful.
[12:56] It's important. Am I preaching at all? Preaching. I've never. Related to anybody on the grounds of how much I'm going to get from them.
[13:12] That's not my kind of Christianity. I don't know that. I don't know that. What attracts some of you want to get close to me? It's very easy to get close to me.
[13:23] Be hungry for God. And be genuine about it. For some reason. We will meet in the spirit. We will meet in the spirit. They said. When I heard the sound of your voice.
[13:34] The baby in my womb left for you. Yeah. So what I'm saying is that. To me.
[13:45] It's not even a price. To pay. To work with God genuinely. It's not a price to pay. It's a hard thing. I just. I just. I enjoy it. You see what I'm saying?
[13:56] Ah. It's like my daughter is hungry. I said. Let's go and sit. Somewhere. Restaurant. Let's eat. With my daughter. And I'm feeling I'm paying a lot. Ah. Your work with God is not a price.
[14:10] To pay. Excuse me. When you don't have a heart for him. That's when you think you are paying price. Any little thing is a sacrifice. Every little thing. Going out. Is a sacrifice.
[14:21] Coming for fellowship. Is a sacrifice. I'm trying. I'm trying. Every little thing you do is a sacrifice. Oh. Come on. Come on. Your love for God.
[14:33] Neutralizes. A lot of. Painful feelings. In your passage of God. You don't even realize it. It hurts for God. God said.
[14:44] He removed Saul. And. He put in. David. He removed Saul. And. Puts David there.
[14:55] And he. God testified. God sent him there. I found a man after my heart. Acts 13. 22. And when he had removed Saul.
[15:07] The him is Saul. He raised up. For them. I never even saw that. He didn't appoint David. He raised him himself.
[15:19] He nurtured him for the kingship. Yeah. Yes. Yes. I've seen that guy. I've seen that guy. It takes time. It takes time for God.
[15:30] To show you forth. It takes time. Never desire. You have to come to the place that God. Even if you don't bless me again. I'm sold out for you.
[15:41] God. Even if I don't get married. I am deadly committed to you. God. If I never get money. It's not. Money is not part of the deal. For my worship.
[15:53] It's not. It's not part of the deal. He said. He. When he removed Saul. He raised David up. He raised David. Oh. Thank you Jesus.
[16:04] He raised David. Asking. To whom. Also. He gave. Testimony. And said. I have found. What's the testimony God had about David? That. David.
[16:14] The son of Jesse. A man. After my own heart. Who will. See. The way this guy has a heart for me. What I'm planning someone to do. He will just end up doing it.
[16:25] It's not that. I will go and tell him. I won't tell him. He will just be doing it. Because. He has a heart for me so much. Anything that concerns me. Before I could ask. He knows it.
[16:35] He won't have to mobilize him for outreach. When people are not praying. He won't come and say. Let's go to theme park.
[16:47] He will say. I want. I want some people. I want us to come together to pray. I want. He'll be praying to God. God. Help me. I want to talk for people to come for us to pray.
[16:58] He doesn't know. That's what God has been looking for. God has seen that prayer has gone down. But he's looking for a man. Who is. Who is. Connected to him enough.
[17:12] Does it surprise you how. David. He said. After. Can you imagine. After God has blessed him. And he's got all that money. David got.
[17:23] Most of us. When we get the money. Worship changes. Oh yeah. Some of you. You are not trustworthy. That's why God has to wait. Because if he blesses you too quickly.
[17:35] It's not good. You can't stand it. David. When he has come into wealth. And he was living in the best of houses. He said.
[17:47] Look at the house I live in. How come. God's house is in. This state. No. No. I will do something. God has to ask. See. He was doing the will of God.
[17:57] God didn't ask him. So God said. Tell David. I have never asked anyone to do this for me. How come this has entered you how to do it? Lord. He wasn't raised. Because he was a fighter.
[18:08] A good fighter. Because he could kill Goliath. That's not why God raised him. You can kill Goliath. And Saul killed a lot. Yeah.
[18:19] For God. You can kill Goliath. And still. Not have the sensitivity of the. What is most important on God's heart. Wow. David said.
[18:29] I want to build. For God. I want to build the church. I want to do church. When he sat at home. He said. I don't want to do Zoom. I want to go to church itself. I just. I just want to church.
[18:41] God said. David. Because of this thing. The throne. Never leave your house again. You've gone. You've loved me too far. He said. I found David.
[18:52] A man after my heart. Who would do all my will. He would do it. When I tell him. He would do it. When I have him tell him. He would descend. Not like. He's sensitive to no.
[19:02] Listen. Listen. Listen. This is what I'm trying to say. You know. When you love somebody so much. You are able to do things for them.
[19:13] And it surprises them. They say. Wow. I've always wanted to do this. You did it for me. You. What. When you do that. You draw them very close to you.
[19:25] Anyone who honors and celebrates you. And values you. Maybe that's one of the reasons I like it. Anyone who values you.
[19:38] You just feel drawn to them. It's natural. There's a way when you have a heart. It shows in the gifts. God said.
[19:48] David. You are doing this for me. This is too much. Doing this for me. That's a way. That when you have a heart. For somebody.
[20:00] It shows. You see. It just makes you feel. This person values me. It's not what you are getting from the person. But. The person's interest is in making sure.
[20:13] You are rewarded. It makes you feel. You value me that much. God said. You.
[20:24] You. You. You. You. The. The gifts you bring. God. This is how God said. He said. The gift you bring to me. Will you give it to a governor. He said. Take away. Take away your. Rubbish gift.
[20:36] You. God. Yeah. In Malachi. In Malachi. He said. You bring me. Those days. The family and community. You are bringing sheep. That is sick. The one that when you sell.
[20:46] You make much money. That is the one you bring us offering. That is why. Some of you. You have been so badly. Miseducated.
[20:58] And misinformed. Spiritually. That when you come to church. You. Your giving is like a battle. You give. The. Bronze. Coins.
[21:09] Because you are giving to charity. Never give to church. Just like you are giving to charity. It is a covenant. Practice. It is. It is. Honor to God.
[21:20] And it is a statement of faith. And it is an expression of love. Some of us are fully dedicated. No wonder. God.
[21:31] Counts us first. He removes others. And raises us. For what he wants done. Don't fool yourself. And think. To think what we are doing. We are all doing at the same level.
[21:41] And it is just on the surface. Don't fool yourself. Some of us. This thing is more than skin deep. It is blood. It is blood. A hat for God.
[21:55] David. He said. I have a hat for you. God. Psalm 26 verse 2. He says. Search my hat. Wow. Psalm 26 verse 2. Examine me.
[22:06] Oh Lord. Improve me. Try my mind. And my heart. One dollar. Examine me. Found a man. After my hat.
[22:19] He said. Did our hearts not burn? It depends on where your heart is. Heart burn. When he spoke to Luke chapter 24 verse 31 and 32.
[22:31] Did our hearts not burn within us? Did our hearts. Did not our hearts burn within our wives. Talked with us.
[22:42] When you have a heart for God. That heart actually lifts. When you hear certain pure words of God. It burns for God. And they were touched to the heart.
[22:53] Let me round up by saying this. If you have a heart for God. It will always lead you.
[23:06] In executing. Alright. Let me put it this way. This is a good one. God. Has got things. That are hidden behind the curtain.
[23:18] Oh yeah. God. That's what is called revelation. His revelation is not given to everybody. When he sees that your heart is warm towards him. You have a heart towards God.
[23:30] In fact. I like this. Let me add this before I go. In Psalm 27 verse 8. Yeah. When you said. Seek my face. What the pastor is preaching.
[23:42] It's not just my ears that's hearing. My heart is actually heart. This is what my heart is looking for. Some of you be. Your cousins don't understand. Why you don't attend the church with them.
[23:56] Because the thing is a heart thing. Some of you might even be pastors children. And you don't attend your father's church. Or your mother's church. And it's not because you don't respect them. But you found a place.
[24:08] Your heart. Your heart is so hungry for God. And when you come to this atmosphere. You can tell. We are doing heart things. It's a heart thing.
[24:18] That's why. I want you to know. That you'll be disappointed. If you don't have a heart for Jesus. When you say. Seek ye my face. My. Ah. My.
[24:30] Ah. My heart said. Your face. Oh Lord will I seek. When you said it. My heart said. This is what I've always been looking for. When they are preaching. When the word of God is coming to you.
[24:42] Some people. Their heart is saying something else. No. I said. When you said. My heart said. No. When you have a heart for God. Some of the things that happen. Is that.
[24:55] God. Has revelations. And the revelation is behind a curtain called heaven. And every now and then.
[25:06] God opens the heavens. Upon people who have a heart for him. Or who are after his heart. Yeah. So. In Genesis chapter 28. Verse. Verse 12 to 14.
[25:20] Bible said he slept. And behold. Elada. Has to come. Elada. And he saw. He saw heaven. And he saw the Lord. The first person who encountered open heavens. Was Jacob.
[25:32] Jacob. In Ezekiel chapter 1 verse 1. Is someone receiving something? Yes. I came to pass. In the 13th year. In the fourth month.
[25:43] On the fifth day. Sometimes the Bible is very specific. Yeah. 13th year. Fourth month. Fifth day. Oh. The man. As I was among the captives by the river Jeddah.
[25:55] That the heavens were opened. And I saw visions of God. He was with the people. But they didn't see it. He saw it. Heavens was open.
[26:08] And I saw visions. Of God. God has things hidden. He doesn't show it to everybody. He should. So I can be speaking. But certain individuals are the one God is opening.
[26:20] Because he said. When you said. Seek ye my faith. My heart said. My heart said. The reason why your temptation is stronger. Is because your heart for God is weaker.
[26:33] It's not like you want to fall into temptation. But your heart for God is weaker. So. It makes temptation more potent. There are certain temptations you fall into.
[26:47] It's more a reflection of the fact that you have a weak heart for God. Did you understand? There are some temptations you. I mean. We are all prone to temptation. But there are certain temptations.
[26:58] They can't. You can't fall into them easily. When you have a heart for God. There are some parties. You'll never see me there. What am I doing here? I can't be in some places.
[27:12] I just can't be there. I can't. Let alone to be exposed to. All kinds of things. That will stir temptation in me. I can't be there. Because of my heart for God.
[27:25] My heart for God has damaged. Certain levels of desires in me. My heart for God. Simon. Simon. Do you love me?
[27:36] This is a love thing. You must love God enough to be able to say. I'm going to walk away from this. My marital Isaac. My monetary Isaac.
[27:46] My career Isaac. My beauty Isaac. Yeah. What makes me important amongst. I love God. I'm willing to walk away from it. Your heart for God.
[28:00] Your heart for God is what determines what kind of temptations that you follow. Joseph. He said. How can I do this again God? How can I do this?
[28:11] It wasn't because he was so strong. Please. Joseph didn't walk away from Potiphar because he was so strong. He walked away from Potiphar because his heart for God was so strong.
[28:23] It is his heart for God. Not his character. Some of us. Some of the things that is happening in your life. Is because it's not your character.
[28:34] It's just your weak heart for God. Wow. Ezekiel was amongst others captives. I said. I saw visions of God.
[28:46] The heavens was open. Jesus. Others were being baptized. He was also being baptized. Matthew chapter 3 verse 16. The Bible said the heavens was open upon him. Yeah. The heavens was open upon him. That's the next time heavens was open upon somebody.
[28:59] Opens and you see. When heavens open you always see. Oh yeah. He noticed things that have always been. People have been. Heavens was open upon Jesus.
[29:11] Heavens was open upon Stephen. In Acts chapter 7 verse 56. He was being stoned. He was about to die. He said.
[29:22] And he said. He be free of the Holy. Gazed into heaven and saw. Glory of God and Jesus. Standing at the right hand of God. He saw. Wow.
[29:33] Wow. 56. And he said. Look. I see. What? Wow. Open heavens.
[29:45] Open heavens is the heritage of people who have a heart for God. I saw. I saw.
[29:57] I saw. I saw the Achilles. You couldn't even feel it. I've seen heaven. He saw the son of man standing. He has a heart. He will do anything for God.
[30:07] He will do anything for God. It doesn't matter how long. Some of us will only do it for a while. Listen. If you are going to decline in your spiritual work because your family members are complaining.
[30:20] You are not even qualified. Bible says that a man's enemies will be those of his own house. Matthew chapter 10 verse 36, 37.
[30:31] Those of your own house. It's they who can stop you from pursuing God. Those of your own house. And don't you know your church and don't you know the pastor.
[30:42] You come to church one, two, and you can tell this thing is having a glorious, godly impact on you. They haven't been. When someone wants to advise you on your spiritual life. Check their lives first.
[30:53] Check their life. Check their fruit. Jesus said you shall know them by their fruits. Check their spiritual fruit. Not only behavior. But their fruit. Their outcome. How many people are they affecting? You say you're a pastor.
[31:04] How come you are not impacting anybody for Jesus? Just that we know you in the family as pastor, pastor, pastor, pastor Mike, pastor Mike, pastor Mike. How many people are you really changing for Jesus?
[31:15] And suddenly I'm beginning to do outreach. I can feel people crying. I can feel people changing through my preaching. You are telling me you are taking this church in too far. I'm a pastor. I can advise you.
[31:25] You can advise me. Show me your fruits. And never listen to people who tell you I used to. When it comes to godly results, it's not about how you used to.
[31:37] It's about now. What are you doing? Where are your fruits? Because good behavior is not a permanent possession. Heavens was open on Stephen.
[31:52] Heavens was open on Peter. Acts chapter 11 verse 10. I think from verse 9, it's hallelujah.
[32:03] Yeah. But at the end, Peter encountered open heavens. Heavens were open upon Peter. Peter had open heavens.
[32:15] In Revelation chapter 4 verse 1. Revelation chapter 19 verse 11. Chapter 4 verse 1. After these things, I looked and behold.
[32:25] Ah. And behold. A door standing. Oh, Jesus. You see, this man, John. John. In Revelation chapter 1 verse 9.
[32:39] See his credentials. Before you rush to Revelation 4 verse 1. See this guy's credential. I, John. Both your brother and companion in tribulation.
[32:52] Tribulation means troubles. Plenty troubles. Tribulations. Tribulations and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ.
[33:06] It comes with tribulations. Christianity. The Bible says, all those who live godly in Christ shall suffer persecution. Yeah. Shall suffer persecution. 2 Timothy chapter 3.
[33:17] I think there's 12 or something like that. All those who live godly in Christ, he says, shall suffer persecution. All those who desire to live godly in. If you are doing it somewhere.
[33:27] In just church. If you are just doing it in church. You are not likely to suffer persecution. But if you are doing it in Christ. Even church people. People who invited you to church.
[33:39] It gets to a time. They will begin to say, hey, you are doing it too much. I taught you. I taught you. You suffer persecution. Wow. He said, I am your fellow brother in the kingdom in tribulation of Jesus Christ.
[33:53] What? Yes. And see. He said, was on the island that is called Patmos. So, this guy was. The isle of Patmos is such an island.
[34:04] Because they were killing. He won't die. They put him in hot soup. They boil him in oil. He won't die. They boil him in water. He won't die. John wasn't dying.
[34:16] That's why he said tribulations of Christ. They did everything. He wasn't dying. Others, they killed everybody. But John wasn't dying. So, they just relegated him to the isle of Patmos. To stay there.
[34:27] And die in the wild animals. And he said, I was on the isle of Patmos. For the word of God's sake. And the testimony of Christ. That's why I was there. What have you suffered for Jesus? You are making noise about God.
[34:40] He's not blessing me. Please stop those charismatic language. Charismatics. They are entitled to blessings. That's why more of you. Talk about I give you more of myself than telling you.
[34:54] Give me more of you. Please. But he said, is it such a person? He said, look at the next verse. I was on that hour. And I was in the spirit on the lost day. And I had behind me voice.
[35:05] God began to talk to me on that condition. Revelation. And it was that. That's how we got the book of Revelation. And then the Revelation chapter 4 verse 1. That's when he talked about after these things.
[35:16] After all that he has seen. After these things behold. A door. Standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me. Saying, come up here.
[35:28] And I will show you things which must take place after this. He started deep things showing. Why? Goes off his heart for God. Well.
[35:41] For the testimony of Christ. And the word of God's sake. I was on the Isle of Patmos. They thought they are getting rid of me. That's where we had the strongest revelation in the Bible.
[35:53] Telling us about how everything is going to be in the future. It was given to a man who had a heart. The Bible says that this guy used to put his head on Jesus' heart.
[36:06] John. He put his head in his bosom. The one who used to put his head in Jesus' bosom. That's John. He was very close to Jesus. Yeah.
[36:18] That's why he wrote about beloved. Let us laugh. He wrote. Now there was. There was leaning on Jesus' bosom. One of the disciples. Whom Jesus loved.
[36:30] Do you know why he was leaning on his bosom? When they sat. Notice that they used to sit on the floor floor. And sometimes. That's what I would say. They reclined at table. So you can stretch your leg this way.
[36:42] And then they are sitting like that. And he would always sit next to Jesus. And sometime. Put his head on Jesus' bosom. He loved Jesus. Jesus loved him. And when you put. When you put your head on somebody's bosom.
[36:55] You feel their heartbeat. Yes. He's talking about. He knew Jesus' heartbeat. That's how much he loved him. Have a heart for God. That's what secures your.
[37:07] I didn't even finish talking about Psalm 15. Go ahead. reading. Who. The one who stands in your place. Who. First dude talks about. Who has. A bright walk. And then he talks about the walk.
[37:18] Then he talks about. His works of righteousness. Now the things you are doing. You do right things. Which is different from your actual behavior. And then he speaks the truth. In his heart.
[37:30] These are qualifications. That shows. Who will be sitting there. In the time of glory. There is an approach to this scripture. It went as far as saying that.
[37:41] You can't stand people who are not right. It's there. He who does not backbite with his tongue. You are in church. A little bit backbiting people. That's not.
[37:52] No. That's evil to his neighbor. No. That's. Does he take up. A reproach against his friend. Otherwise. You are. You. This is your friend.
[38:03] But you are behind your friend. Saying things that will not hurt your friend. Look at the next verse quickly. In whose eyes. A vile person. Give me an IV. Okay.
[38:14] Who despises a vile person. But honors those who fear the Lord. So. Someone who is vile. You don't value God. You despise people like me. I despise people like that.
[38:25] Not that I don't value a human being. But I don't crave your company. I don't crave your company. There's nothing you have that will attract me to you. A sinner. You don't value God.
[38:35] You don't value worship. Oh. Come on. Come on. I despise you. Not as a human being. But you understand. I despise relationship with you. I don't crave it. I don't look forward to it.
[38:47] Despise. That's a sign. That shows how far God can take you. The people you accommodate. Tells us how far God won't take you. Yeah. Did you see that? It's in your Bible.
[38:57] Who keeps an oath. When. Even when it hurts. And does not change their mind. You know you are committed. Others are talking. But you are loyal. Even when it's not favorable for you.
[39:09] You are loyal. You are firm. When a church comes out. There are some people. Who turn their backs against the church. But others. No. I'm genuine. And I know.
[39:20] I know what this church has done for me. I am genuine. And I'm committed. It doesn't matter. Even if my entire family. Rides against me. Father. Thank you for your word. Help us to love you.
[39:32] For an open heavens. I pray for these precious friends. Bless them. Let them do well. In Jesus name. Amen. God bless you.
