[0:00] Here in Deuteronomy 30 we're going to do quite a bit of reading tonight. We're going to read the first 10 verses first with the Lord til we'll read another few verses after that. But anyway Deuteronomy chapter 30 beginning at verse one says, And it shall come to pass when all these things are come upon thee the blessing and the curse which I have set before thee and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee and shall return unto the and shall return unto the Lord thy God and shall obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day thou and thy children with all thine heart and with all thy soul that then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity and have compassion upon thee and will return and gather thee from all the nations whither the Lord thy God hath scattered scattered thee if any of thine be driven out into the outmost parts of heaven from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee and from thence will he fetch thee and the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy father's possessed and thou shalt possess it and he will do thee good and multiply thee above thy father's and the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart and the heart of thy seed to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soul that thou mayest live and the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies and on them that hate thee which persecuted thee and thou shalt return and obey the voice of the Lord and do all his commandments which I command thee this day and the Lord thy God will make thee plenious in every work of thine hand in the fruit of thy body and in the fruit of thy cattle and in the fruit of thy land for good for the Lord will again rejoice over thee for good as he rejoiced over thy father's if thou shalt hearken under the voice of the Lord thy God to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law and if thou turn under the Lord thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soul now if you pay attention there was a lot of that what we just read there that was present tense there was a lot of it there was future tense and there was a little bit of it that was past tense we just kind of all over the place as far as tenses go in this but when we read that passage of scripture there God is telling these

[2:29] Israelites when you go into the land when you go into this land that I promised you're going to be scattered he say it when you go into the land you're going to disobey me God already knows what they're gonna do my God is omnipotent my God is omniscient my God is omnipresent my God is all of these things he is sovereign over this universe and he knows what people are gonna do even before he does it he knew what these Israelites were gonna do before they ever crossed over into Jordan before he ever give them over into the promised land before the spies even went over to scope out and see what all was going on my God knew that that land would be theirs he knew that they would disobey him once they got over there but he says even though I scatter you he didn't say the nations will scatter you he didn't say you will leave on your own he said I will scatter you but even if I scatter you to the outmost parts of the heaven to the other most parts of the earth I will gather you right back here where I promised folks he is not a God that he could lie he's not a man that he could laugh my God has never had God found in his mouth my God has never sinned what he has promised his people we can bank on it hallelujah just like these Israelites good now listen he was giving them warning he was telling them when you go over you're going to transgress my law when you go over you're going to do just as your forefathers did just as those whose carcasses have rotted out here in this wilderness over these 40 years that you've been wandering around in circles looking for the promised land these 40 years that I told you you would wander around here looking for this promised land that I told Abraham your father that you would inherit he says when you go over there you will transgress my law but don't you worry you your seed your posterity will inherit this land one day after a while hey when God saved my soul he knew that I would sin when God saved my soul he knew I wouldn't walk perfect when God saved me he knew I would fall he knew I would stumble but my God has made a promise he said I sought you to the utmost parts of the earth I intend to bring you home oh my god says in his word in Philippians chapter one it says that God will finish that which he started in me he will finish what he started in me folks I rest easy at not knowing that I rest easy and now when I lay down my my head hey after I pray after I've sought God after I've repented for my sins for the day after I've asked my forgiveness hey I lay my head down and I sleep easy and I know that my Bible says that God will it doesn't say me doesn't say maybe doesn't say he could it says that he shall finish that in me which he began therefore I can lay down my head and rest easy at not these Israelite chair God was telling them when you go into the land you will sin you will transgress you're gonna whore after other gods you're gonna whore after other idols you're gonna do all of these things at your father's before you did but I will seek you out hallelujah that's the God that I serve listen he wasn't giving them a license to go see and telling them these things he wouldn't tell them go out and have yourself a big party you live your life the way you want to

[6:32] you drug it up you drink it up you woman it up you man it up you do all these things he wasn't telling them that he was just saying these are the things you're going to do but I have made a promise I have made a promise but he says he gives them a foreign notion he says when all these things have happened when the blessing and the cursing has happened after all these things he said I'm going to circumcise your heart I'll circumcise your heart folks the circumcision was the sign of the covenant it wasn't the covenant itself the covenant was words that God spoke into Abraham that was the covenant he said I will give you this land I will multiply your seed that was the covenant it was the words that God spoke the circumcision was nothing more than a sign of that covenant folks over in the New Testament we read over and over again in the book of Galatians we read in Hebrews we read in Acts chapter 15 we read it all over the New Testament where those Jews were depending on the sign of the covenant instead of the covenant itself instead of the covenant where Almighty God said I will send a deliverer I will send one that all nations will come into I will send one that will be Messiah not just for you but for the entire world they were depending on their sign they were saying Jesus is all great and fine and well they were saying the blood of Jesus Christ I appreciate the man shedding it but we still need the circumcision we still got to follow the law we've still got to do this and we still got to do that

[8:12] Paul wrote to the Romans Paul wrote to the Roman church Christ is the end of the law under salvation he's the end of the law under righteousness not the end of the law but he is the end of the law under righteousness folks that law includes the law of circumcision it includes the 10 commandments it includes every law that those Jews for thousands of years have been trying to keep and failing to keep when God gave the 10 commandments it wasn't so that they could keep those and be in right relationship with him God gave those commandments that the Jews could see just who God was they could see just how holy he was and righteous he was and how filthy and rotten and sinful they were because none of them could keep it no more than I can and no more than you can God telling these Jews here he's telling them when you go into the land you will transgress but I will seek you out and you will listen there's no doubt in this scripture that we read he says you will come back to me you will come back once that reminds me uh it reminds me of Luke chapter 15

[9:24] Jesus give three parables in that chapter one a parable of man that had a hundred sheep one of them went astray says he went out he found that one he left the ninety and nine praise God and he went out he found that one hey he started with a hundred sheep and he ended up with a hundred sheep he went out he left those ninety and nine that hadn't strayed they hadn't gone out the fold they hadn't gone over yonder on the mountain or down in the weeds they hadn't left at all but he left the fold and went out and found that one the next parable that Jesus speaks in that chapter is a woman that had 10 pieces of money and she lost one of them but hey she swept around she cleaned around she looked everywhere for that piece and she finally found it that woman began with 10 and she ended with 10 and the last parable he speaks is the parable of the prodigal son a man had two sons one of them came to him and said give me my inheritance and the father gave him his inheritance he went out and blew it on riotous living but then a famine hit the land that boy found himself in the pigsty eating husk of corn but he found himself hungry and when he got hungry he remembered the father's house and he come back to him that man started with two sons and he wound up with two sons he started with two and he wound up with two folks god won't lose a single one of us he will not lose a single one of us those of us who were born again those of us that are washed in the blood those of us that are on that straight and narrow path that he has set us upon he will not lose us he began with a hundred he'll end up with a hundred she began with 10 he she wound up with 10 the man began with two boys he wound up with two boys god will not lose a single one of those which belong to him he will not lose his elect he will not lose those he has chosen he will not lose those which he has seen and his son died poor hallelujah that's my god he's telling these Jews here yes you're gonna see but you'll come back your children will see but you're gonna come back i preached a sermon here not long ago about the syrophoenician woman that syrophoenician woman sought out jesus when he came through town she said she said lord my daughter's possessed with a devil and i said there if we had parents and we had grandparents that would own the problem with their children and their grandchildren like that woman did if they would say well it's not just a phase and it's not just this and it's not just this my child has a demon my child has a devil inside of them if they would own the problem like that woman did i think we'd see a whole lot more people on the altars in the churches i think we'd see a whole lot more mothers shedding tears a whole lot more daddies begging for salvation from their children and a whole lot more grandparents doing the same but no no we want to chalk it up to something else we want to chalk it up to society we want to chalk it up to problems personal problems school problems when it boils down to the fact these children have demons folks i had demons i didn't realize it and when you were lost you had demons too every one of us did if they wasn't inside of you they was following you everywhere that you went whispering in your ear camping out on your shoulder doing all kinds of things convincing you of all kinds of things folks what happened to the israelites they were convinced that it was okay to do idol worship they were convinced it was okay to seek after other gods after god after god had shown himself to moses on a mountain top as sada after they had heard the thunderings after they had felt the earthquakes and seen the lightnings

[13:26] and seen the birds they had seen the very glory of god shining off of moses yet they still went chasing other gods my goodness how many people spend years in church houses seen the glory of god heard the testimonies of god people heard the preach word of god and still left out just as lost as when they came in yeah even after they've seen the evidence of it even after they felt the presence of almighty god even after all these things they still leave out because they chalk it up to something else i wasn't no different i wasn't no different when i was under conviction before i got saved i was i was chalking it up to everything i was like no this can't be i couldn't have been wrong all these years i couldn't there can't be a god out there i couldn't have been wrong about this this is just adrenaline this is just a coincidence it's just this and it's just that when all the time deep in my mind because god gave every one of us a conscience he gave every one of us the knowledge of right and wrong good and evil he gave every one of us that deep in the back of my mind i knew what it was i knew it was almighty god that was stirring up something inside of me i knew it was god that was dealing with me i knew it was god that was showing me your own doorway to hell boy and i'm the only one that can do something about that and praise god he didn't give up on me that god he chased me for three solid days not letting me eat sleep work or anything else and bless god he finally saved me hello that's what my god works folks these israelites want no different they want no different he chased them he chased them my goodness when they come when the first generation when they come up out of israel roger taught on it just this morning and sunday school when they come up out of israel they wouldn't across the red sea for just a few days they was already wine it's already wine and comes to come to a place that had bitter water not thinking maybe just maybe if we trance on just a little ways further if we just parade on our way we might find find some good water we might find some sweet water but no they chose to stop at that place and wine to moses who was a representative of god he was the deliverer sent by god he's the man commissioned and ordained by almighty god to deliver them up out of egypt they murmured against him murmured against god they said hey the denigin not having enough graves for all of us we'd be better off back there at least we had the flesh pots at least we had the leeks and the onions at least we had all these things there you brought us out into this wilderness just to let us die folks god didn't save me just to let me die he didn't save me to sit dead in a churchhouse pew he didn't save me to do nothing with my testimony he didn't save me to do nothing for him he saved me to bring glory under him he didn't save me for my benefit he saved me for his own when god saves us all he saves it to his own glory into the glory of jesus christ it had nothing to do with you everything to do with god that's why he deserves praise he didn't have to save us he don't need our praise he's got stars to praise him he's got angels to praise him he's got an entire universe that he created that he can use in any way shape or profession that he wants to to bring him praise he wants us to praise him and he expects us to praise it and we should praise him because everybody under the sound of my voice right now deserves to be burning in hell right now and i ain't going that's why i praise god that's why i shut my hallelujah that's why i get my amen howl that he praise god he tells him we'll circumcise your heart you're gonna do something

[17:32] different well circumcise your heart we'll get into those last four verses here in just a minute verses 11 through 14 and did around me 30 the folks the circumcision we all know what that is that was a sign of the covenant and uh it was given unto Abraham way back over in genesis and that's what these jews were depending on they said well i've got the sign of the covenant i'm one of god's children because i have this done my parents they've done this to me paul even said that over in his letters over in a couple of his different epistles he said i will circumcise the eighth day in other words i will circumcise just as the law said that i needed to be he said i'm of the stock of benjamin i'm a jew of the jews i'm a Pharisee of the Pharisee he said i sat under the feet of the man named gandriel he said i was taught by the by the top notch jew by the top notch jewish teacher said i've got all these things going for me if any man has any right to brag about himself it is me but i count all of this as done to know jesus christ doesn't matter who we are doesn't matter what we know i've had people listen i'm bragging on spencer not not one little little bit i've had people tell me spencer i wish i knew as much about the bible as you do i've had people tell me that folks and listen i wish i knew as much about the bible as those people thought that i knew i know people right now i know men to preach circles around me i know men that have forgotten more about the bible than i'll ever know but i've had people say those things folks i know i know atheists that know a lot about scripture i know a lot about scripture before i believed in god before he saved my soul i knew a lot about this book i knew a lot about jewish history i knew a lot about church history but that did not save my soul that did not bring me in right standing with god it took god to save my soul out of the pylf and the muck and the myrrh and the sin that it was in it took god to circumcise my heart i couldn't reach inside and do it to myself only god could do that and god did that for me yes thank you at all bible says that he looks on the on the heart yeah say he's not like man don't look on the outward appearance over everyone david was being anointed king says you look on the outward appearance i look on the heart yeah bible describes when there's one that searches the range of the heart he searches the range the folks these jews god was telling him you're gonna mess up you will mess up but i will bring you back to me and you will come back to me folks there is no doubt in all this this 10 verses that we read tonight and all these 10 verses there is no doubt what god's plan was and there is no doubt of what god intended to do there is no doubt that god can do exactly what he said that he would do that's why i tell people folks not only this chapter but multiple other chapters in the scripture god is still not finished with israel i don't care who says what i don't care who says that the church is the new israel of god hopes i can't find that in the scriptures anywhere god is not finished with israel he promised him a land he promised him a king and he promised that king would reign from david strone one day he said he would reign with a rod of iron and he would reign from jerusalem that wasn't for the gentile church that was for the nation israel and the church has no claim to that promise we have no claim to that you want to claim that promise flip over to deuteronomy 28 you better claim every one of those curses too if you want to claim the promises to israel you claim the curses too we don't want any part of that we just want the good stuff god ain't done with israel praise god for israel y'all have heard

[21:36] me say before we can have judaism all day long no christianity it was done for thousands of years but you cannot have christianity without judaism jesus was a jew jesus was from the tribe of juda which was one of uh one of jacob's boys one of the original 12 tribes oops jews were around three years before christians were ever thought of in the human realm we can have jews but you can't have a christian without a jew we can have jews without christians all day long and all week long and all year long but you cannot have a christian without a jew it's impossible do rami 30 verse 11 for this commandment which i command you this day it is not hidden from the neether is it far off and i remember everything we just talked about everything we just talked about he said you're going to go into this land i'm going to put you into this place and i'm gonna i'm gonna get you over there you're going to mess up your children are going to mess up he said but i will bring you back to me but everything i've commanded you this day he says everything i've commanded me this day it is not hidden from me neither is it a far off it ain't no further off for us than it was for the jews it was the word of god this was the word of god listen moses was speaking this to the children of israel directly from the mouth of god god related to moses moses related to the israelites that's how it worked back back in this time god spoke to moses and moses gave it to the israelites he says this commandment which i command you this day it is not hidden from the neether is it far off it is not in heaven that thou should have said who shall go up for us to heaven and bring it unto us that we may hear it and do it neither is it beyond the sea that thou should have said who shall go over the sea for us and bring it unto us that we may hear it and do it but the word is very nigh unto thee in thy mouth and in thy heart that thou mayest do it he says it's not up in the heavens and it's not over the sea you don't have to send a single person out in search of that word that word is being written in your heart that word is in your mouth it's the same word that he told the israelites the forefathers of these it should be as frontlets in front of your eyes you should bond it to your wrist you should not forget the word of god don't neglect the word of god this word is not under you both every one of us in here and everyone out there as a conscience they know if they are right they know if they are wrong god has not changed every one of us knows we're right or we're wrong we're the only one to do all right man person in here knows for 100% certain if i'm saved or not except for me and god that's right i don't know for 100% certain if any of you are saved you know that and god knows that god has given every one of us a conscience he has written upon our hearts he's written upon our hearts right and wrong and the more we do wrong the easier it is to do wrong the longer excuse me the longer we stay out of church the easier it is to stay out of church you miss a sunday you miss two sundays you miss three sundays it's a whole lot easier to give up that fourth sunday same same way with thursdays or wednesdays or whenever whenever we're coming it's a whole lot easier folks we get hardened that way the the heart gets hardened and and you know what's in the back of our mind when that happens and i'm talking about christians now i'm talking about save born again believers now you know what's in the back of our mind well god didn't punish me it must be all right i must be all right in the eyes of god i must be all right in the mind of god because he didn't strike me in the rear end with a light

[25:39] in the bowl last week when i missed sunday or last week when i missed the midweek or when i when i get that i'm doing this or doing that at the church he didn't strike me down then so i must be all right hey god is long suffering and god is patient the folks you listen to me from salomon roth in the book of proverbs i believe it's proverbs 13 and verse 15 he said the way of the transgressors hard the way of the center is hard the way that they have to travel is hard i don't care how easy they think that it is i don't care how wonderful they think their life is the way of the transgressor is hard because the bible says the way of the transgressor is hard we might look out at the world and we might say boy they've got it easy they've got it they've got everything coming to them everything's working out their way but a thing or a transgressor against the laws of god their way is hard amen my way simple what is my way i said it just this morning if any man wants to be my disciple jesus said let him deny himself take up his cross and follow me amen across his heavy is that burden gets heavy is the way it gets and the way it gets a little tight sometimes on that straightened era absolutely the folks it's easy compared to the transgressor compared to the transgressor my way is easy my way that god has set out for me is easy compared to their ways wise the way the transgressor heart because they know somewhere in the back of their mind they know somewhere down deep in their heart that they are wrong that they are wrong therefore they don't sleep like they should therefore they can't get the rest like they need therefore they have an ultimate end and if they've sat under preaching any any decent preaching and i've heard about hell they know that that's their ultimate end and there's people out there i preached about it just this morning there's people out there that just blatantly outright saying they will own their sin they'll own that they're on their way to hell like they're proud of it and you got other people that think that they're all right they think that they're just fine with god but neither one of those folks is right with god and both of them's on their way to hell you got the folks that that uh well like i preached this morning when jesus said jesus said the the publicans in the harlots will get into the kingdom before you do the publicans in the harlots will go before you talking to the religious people when he said that he didn't completely close the door on him praise god he just said before he didn't say instead of hallelujah but the way the transgressor never lessens hard hey folks just because god saved you out of your sin just because he saved me out of my sin sometimes even though we might be saved 10 15 20 30 40 years we might still be living with the consequence of a sin that we committed before we got saved even after we're saved we might commit a sin and still have to live with the consequence of that sin god will save the alcoholic i'm living proof of it hallelujah he'll save the alcoholic he might not heal that cirrhosis that becomes on setting their liver that's a consequence of sin that's a consequence of something that they done but hey still yet the way the transgressors are if somebody born again if somebody is born again they got something to look forward to they got something to look forward to god may not heal us of every disease he may not heal us of every ailment that we suffered he may he may let us go on and go on and go on and something folks and sometimes that's god's way god will use things like that to bring himself glory god will place those things or he'll allow those things to be

[29:42] placed upon his people because his people should be given him praise regardless of what's going on in their life if they're hanging out with people and they're sick and got disease they got problems they got issues but they're still shouting the praises of almighty god and bringing glory unto god that might just be the very reason that you're suffering what you are because god knew god knew that bring me glory regardless of this folks david is a prime example of that in scriptures david a man after god's own heart and that ain't my description that's god's description of him and god's word he was a man after god's own heart we all know his big sin with bathsheba his sin against your eye her husband having him murdered after he had committed adultery with your eyes wife we know the baby that came out on on the scene after that adulterous relationship we know all these things we know all these things about david but yet god sent a prophet god sent a man named nathan and under david to call him out and he said god chased david through his sin he didn't give up on david just because david said that didn't mean god was finished with him that didn't mean god had kicked him to the curb like yesterday's trash it didn't mean god was completely finished and letting david ride on into hell no he sent a man under david named nathan to call him out in his sin but that wasn't just to entertain god and it wasn't to entertain nathan it was to bring david to a place of repentance and it succeeded my god's plan will succeed it cannot fail no more than his word will fail the word of god will go out and it will not return to you y'all have heard me say before when i preach if it don't if it don't draw lost people to god it should encourage saved people it should do one of those two things you either draw the lost into god or you exhort the brethren one of the if it if i fail i do one of those with a sermon my sermon is a complete failure i preach something i wasn't supposed to if one of those two things doesn't happen but most of all it should bring glory unto god it shouldn't be all about me and it shouldn't be all about you i've heard men get up and read a couple of verses of scripture and spend a half an hour talking about their day at work that ain't gonna get anybody saved it ain't gonna help anybody either it might make get a couple of chuckles it might keep their paycheck from the church coming in it might do all kinds of things but folks and i've heard multiple times people get up and talk about their personal life like that is going to get somebody saved i've never saved anyone and neither of you the only one that can save his almighty god through the blood of jesus christ with the conviction of the holy ghost on the life of a guilty sinner that's what it says amen and nothing else nothing else god says this word is very nine to thee not just nine it says it's very nine to thee very nine to the end of my mouth and in the heart that thou may us do it he tells the what this word is very nine to thee in the heart and in my mouth and he tells the why that thou may us do it man the word is nine to us that we may do it god won't force us to he won't force nobody to do it folks if that if that was a case pharaoh and his whole army would have been saved oh yeah pharaoh and his army would have been saved satan and have chance after chance after chance the demons of this world they would have another chance folks there's a line out there

[33:44] there's a line that we can cross where god will not deal with us anymore i know i preached that just a service you do ago about that line but there is a line out there where god will hand us over he'll let us live whatever life that we want to hey folks and that he's god he can do that people will say how could a how could a god that supposedly loves us do that post-abible plainly states that god hates those that do iniquity don't take my word for it turn to psalm chapter five and read it turn to psalm chapter 10 and read it it doesn't say he hates the iniquity it says he hates those that do iniquity you know why that is because he gave his son to die he gave his son to die and those that do iniquity and they do it blatantly and they do it outrightly and they do it as a snub in the face of almighty god they are spinning on the blood of jesus christ they are trembling the blood of the only means of salvation that has ever been made for the world if that is a reason to hate sin and those that committed i don't know what is the folks at the bible you can turn to those two chapters and read it for yourself that ain't the word to say that's a word of god people don't like that people want to clean on to john 316 forgot so love the world and he did and he does now folks i'm telling you what else the bible says yeah i'm telling you what else it says y'all heard me preach before you've probably heard me say you don't flood an entire world of people that you love yeah and you don't you don't burn up the the city you don't rain down fire and rimstone on cities that are full of people that you love you don't do that that's the god that i serve though that's the same god that is going to come out of the sky one day riding on the horse and on his thighs going to be written the name king of kings and lord of lords and his vesture shall be dipped in blood and that won't be his own blood it'll be the blood of his enemies his vesture is dipped in and he will slay every one of his enemies with the sword from his mouth being the word of god that's the god that i serve that's the god that i fear that's the god that saved me that's the god that keeps me and that's the god that is going to take me home one of these days hallelujah i'm gonna get one of them horses right behind him because it says he comes out on the white horse in revelation 19 and the armies of heaven followed on their horse man the armies of heaven i'm gonna be part of that army praise god but you know what i won't have to draw a sword i won't have to have a gun i won't even have to lift the shield folks it's no different now is no different now god fights our battles does he not god about our battles now listen i understand i understand putting on the full armor of god and i appreciate those scriptures and we should do those things that they're in the scriptures that we should wear that full armor of god but god will fight our battles for us what did moses tell the israeli when they were standing there on the former border of the red sea and the pharaoh's army was coming in from behind and they were worried moses said hey stand still and see the salvation of the lord you need not fight you need not do anything to stand here and let the lord fight for you and fight for him he did he got them across on dry land pharaoh's army followed in camped out some of the funniest scripture in there god came down and personally removed their chariot chariot when they took off after the israeli they couldn't move they couldn't move now folks you listen to me what god do that to people that he loved he turned pharaoh and pharaoh's entire army the strongest army on earth at that time he turned them all into fish food yeah every one of them you don't do that to people that you love

[37:51]  don't do that to folks that you love when you serve god and when you praise god and when you seek god and when you pray to god you remember what god it is that you're praying to you're praying to the god of the universe you're praying to the god you're praying to the same jesus the same jesus that give the warning over in the new testament he said he said those that fell upon the stone they were going to get hurt they were going to get hurt but those that the stone fell upon them will be grinded into powder yeah be grinded into powder that's a warning that jesus himself gave he was that stone by the way he meant he was the stone that the builders rejected he is the stone that god said it over in the old testament it was prophesied then and it came to be over in the new testament said behold and sign i lay a rock of offense i lay a stumbling rock and a rock of offense or a stumbling stone a rock of offense jesus is that rock of offense jesus will offend the lost world he will offend hey if you ever present the gospel and somebody doesn't get offended you probably presented it wrong if there's a lost person in your midst when you when you present the gospel and they're not offended in one way shape form or fashion you probably didn't present it correctly the gospel is a gory story the the death of jesus christ is a bloody gory nasty mess but praise god it doesn't end with the death there's a resurrection that took place three days later and that that's that's the best part of the gospel there because he raised from the dead to vindicate us to vindicate himself to go and sit up at the right hand of the father to make intercession for you and i have no jay or not james john says and first john says if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness if there is no god to confess to and there is no intercessor that we can go through to get to that god our faith is in vain our prayers are in vain but praise god he sits there at the right hand of the father be an mediator being my lawyer because i could not argue my own case hallelujah that's my god that's my jesus that's my mediator in my intercessor anyway god bless y'all i appreciate you i think good lord is done with me this evening
