The Sinfulness of Acts and Thoughts of Impurity — W.F. Kumuyi

Praise the Lord. Rise up as we pray together. Heavenly Father, we thank you for our Bible study tonight. We bless your name because you've given us the strength, the desire, and the love to come before you and to take this bread of life.

Lord, we pray as we take this bread of life, you feed us and give us spiritual strength in Jesus' name. We ask you, Lord, that you open our eyes of understanding that the things we didn't know before, the things we knew but we have forgotten, Lord, we pray you remind us.

You write upon the tables of our hearts that your word will be fresh, will be pungent, will be powerful in every one of our lives in Jesus' name. And the grace and the strength, the spiritual energy to be able to carry out your word, to be obedient to your word, you grant unto us tonight in Jesus' name that we'll be able to stand on our two feet with conviction, knowing who has called us and knowing what he has called us to, that we with one mouth and one heart and one soul and one purpose and one intention will glorify your name every moment, every day of our lives in Jesus' name.

That, Lord, whether we're with people or we're just alone by ourselves, our lives will shine forth the light of the glorious gospel. Teach us tonight, Lord, and let our hearts give accent, answer, and give complete submission to everything you teach us tonight in Jesus' name.

We thank you because we know you have answered. In Jesus' name we pray. Thank you very much. You can sit down. I welcome every one of you to the Bible study tonight in Jesus' name. And for those who are joining us for the first time, maybe a friend has invited you, a neighbor has invited you, a member of the church, a fellow student has invited you, and you are here with us tonight, wanting to study the word of God with us, I pray that this study will be of tremendous benefit to every one of you in Jesus' name.

This is our Bible school. This is where God develops soldiers of the cross, giants in the faith, and the future ministers, evangelists, pastors, and teachers of the world. And you do yourself a world of good as you come every time, day after day, week after week, Monday after Monday, as God gives us opportunity and strength.

And we study the word. And for those who have just given their lives to the Lord, and you are even so quick as to be with us today, this is the best place you can be. Jesus healed one man who had been sick for such a long time, and had been looking for that healing for a long time, and he couldn't find it.

Actually, the story is that all the sick people at that time, they were brought to the side of the pool. An angel will come from heaven and then trouble that water. Whoever gets him first will get the healing.

He's been there for such a long time. And he didn't have any helper, any relative, brother, sister, uncle, or cousin, to put him there. And Jesus said, Will thou be made whole? Will you be made whole?

Or do you want to get well? And he began to tell a lot of stories. I've been here for a long time, and nobody has been able to help me, to put me in the pool, so I've not got my healing. And Jesus said, Get up, take up your bed, and walk back home.

And it was a wonderful thing. The Lord healed him. The point of the story is this. The next time Jesus found him, he found him in the temple. Not in a nightclub. Not with the prostitutes. Not in the sports or the games or the lunch.

He found him in the temple. And then he said, You have been made whole. Go and sin no more. I'm rejoicing with you that you came to the Lord. And then the first place was finding you. And here we are today.

And you are here with us at the Bible study. May the Lord strengthen you in Jesus' name. For the old timers who have been coming for a long time, regularly, consistently, I pray the Lord will bless your faithfulness.

Christ’s Interpretation of Purity in the Sermon on the Mount

Today we come to Matthew chapter 5. We'll be studying from verse to verse. And from one section of this wonderful sermon on the mount. Section after section. In Matthew chapter 5, we're looking at verse 27 today.

All through to verse 30. The two servants looking on a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery with her already in his heart. If thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee. For it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off and cast it from thee. For it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. In those verses of scripture which we have read together, you have a lot inside those verses.

Actually you understand, Jesus Christ is the light of the world. Also is the light of the word. That is the light of the scriptures. The light of revelation. And the light of everything that came from the very mind of God.

Until Jesus Christ came, people thought they knew God. But only Christ can reveal God to man completely. Until Christ came, people thought they knew the scriptures. They knew the word of God. In fact, the members of the Sanhedrin, they were supposed to memorize some of those signs and have it, store it in their head.

And they were recited and parodied. And you will see that the new scriptures and the new God, it was until when Jesus came, it began to open it for them. Even the disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, they thought they knew the scriptures.

They thought they knew the Lord. Some of those disciples of Christ had been followers of John, John the Baptist. And they thought they were strict. They thought they were righteous. They thought they were following the Lord.

Until Christ came and began to reveal the mind of God, the word of God, the proper interpretation unto them. In fact, you remember when Jesus rose from the dead, there were two men, there were disciples of Jesus, and they were going on the way to Emmaus.

And Jesus joined their company. And then he began to ask them, what is it you are talking about? And this time, they could not recognize him. And so they said, are you a stranger in the land? Don't you know what just happened?

And he said, what is it? And they began to talk to Christ about himself. How they took him. How he was betrayed. How he was nailed to the cross. How he was buried. And then on the third day, now we are hearing the story.

That they went to the tomb, to the graveside, and they could not find him. And then Jesus began to open the scriptures unto them. And then they got to the table. And he broke the bread. And he gave it unto them.

All of a sudden they knew, this is Christ. And then they said something. Did not our hearts burn? When he opened unto us the scriptures. And he showed us the light. That's the point I'm making to you.

Until you meet Christ, you will think you have studied the Bible. But when you meet Christ, and then he begins to interpret the words of the Father. The mind of the Father unto you. Then do you understand the impact, the import, the intention of the scriptures of the Lord.

When he gave us those scriptures. When Jesus said, you have heard it had been said. Thou shalt not kill. And the majority of the people in the world at that time claimed their kept the word of God. And they thought they were innocent.

They were righteous. They were pure. They were sinless. Because they didn't kill. Until Jesus now said, but I say unto you. That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment.

By the way, why did Jesus Christ give us such deep interpretation, revelation of his word. That all the world may be guilty before him. In Romans chapter 3 verse 19. Romans chapter 3. What do you mean from verse 19?

Yeah, it says now. We know that what thing soever the law says. It says to them who are under the law. That every mouth may be stopped. And that all the world may become guilty before God. As we listen to the interpretation of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Concerning the world. Everybody becomes guilty. Was that the intention of the Lord to just make us feel guilty. Make us feel sorrowful and such. No. He wants to make us feel guilty. So we will know that forgiveness is of the Lord.

He wants to make us know the need for forgiveness. And the need for grace. And the need for salvation. The same thing in what he comes to today. As he begins to tell us. People will say I have heard that before.

Thou shalt not commit adultery. Who doesn't know that? In what country don't we know that? In what community are we ignorant of that? Thou shalt not commit adultery. Even the laws of the land incorporates that.

Into the constitution. Into the laws of the land. Thou shalt not commit adultery. We know that. If a school teacher defiles a student, a lady student. And becomes pregnant. That school teacher can be dismissed.

And if a lecturer does anything like that. To give a mark of grace to a lady. And they know he did it by asking for kind of reward. By using her body in fornication and adultery. The university authority can dismiss that lecturer.

And if it is known, especially in overseas, in Europe. That a man will defile what they call them a minor. That is somebody less than 16 years of age. And if it is proved that fellow can go to jail. Who doesn't know thou shalt not commit adultery.

That is the problem. We think we know. That that is the law. That is the word of God. Until Christ now begins to say. But whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her. You read the whole thing. Don't just say whosoever looketh on a woman.

No, that is not it. Whosoever looketh on a woman for the purpose. For the intention. For the wrong negative desire. To lust after her. Has committed adultery already in his heart. It is just like if I told you.

Whoever looks on money. With the intention of stealing the money. Is deceived. That is what Jesus is saying. He is not saying whosoever looketh on money. Is already deceived. No. Whosoever looketh on the money.

With the intention of stealing the money. If he had the opportunity. Is deceived already in his heart. And so whosoever looketh on a woman. Well he doesn't have any intention. He doesn't have any desire.

He doesn't have any purpose to do anything wrong. It's alright. But whosoever looketh on a woman. With the purpose, the intention, the desire, the imagination. The pursuit, the passion. Of wanting to commit sin with her.

Has committed adultery with her already in his heart. As Jesus gave the interpretation. He removed the veil of deception. A way to make everyone in the world see. The need of salvation in Christ. Christ makes the world to see.

The need for divine mercy. And then he makes the church. The body of Christ to see. The need for cleansing. The need for sanctification. The need for purity of heart. We're going to divide the study today into three parts.

Already you have the outline in your hand. We're looking at the sinfulness of acts and thoughts of impurity. There are two things. Number one, the acts of impurity. Sinful. Dirty. It brings condemnation.

It brings judgment. Dirty acts. Sinful acts. Licentious acts. Immoral acts. Impure acts. Brings condemnation. Number two, the thoughts. The thoughts of impurity. The thoughts of uncleanness. We need to be free from the acts.

The external acts. And then from the thoughts, the inward intention and passion to do evil. That's the study. And then we have three parts to the study. Number one, command against an immoral deed. God's command against an immoral deed.

Number two, condemnation of an impure desire. God's condemnation of an impure desire. Number three, consideration of an illustrative deliverance. The consideration of an illustrative deliverance. We come to number one.

God’s Command Against Immoral Deeds

The command against an immoral deed. In Matthew chapter 5, we are reading from verse 27. Matthew chapter 5, verse 27. Ye have heard that it had been said by them of old time, thou shalt not commit adultery.

It says, ye have heard. We have heard. Even before I became born again, I heard. Even before you read your Bible, you heard. Number one, you heard from the voice of conscience. Your conscience told you, this must be wrong.

Whether you come to church or not. Whether you've read the Bible or not. That's why you cannot grab the woman in front of her husband. You know it's wrong. That's why you need to wait for the man, for the husband to travel out.

To be absent. Before you want to do anything bad with the woman. You knew. You have heard. The voice of your conscience told you, it is wrong. Number two, you have heard from the voice of society. From the voice of society.

Everybody in society, even though they also may be guilty of it. They themselves, they say, look at that man. A useless man. Look at that man. A man that doesn't have, doesn't know anybody. Whether it's a pepper seller or onion seller or whatever.

You know, he makes himself useless. Even the society, they tell us, thou shalt not commit adultery. Ye have heard from the voice of conscience. And from the voice of the society. Number three, from the voice of self-interest.

If you want to live long, stay away from adultery. Because the husband of that woman is going to be after you if he discovers you are messing up with his wife. For your self-interest. Also to avoid disease.

So you don't die young. And so you don't get all these incurable diseases. Self-interest is shouting loud. Leave those women alone and leave those men alone. You have heard from the voice of self-interest.

You have heard from the voice of judgment. From the voice of judgment. You know, sometimes it's jungle judgment. What I mean by that is, You know, there are people that if you commit adultery in some places, the husband gets so angry.

He doesn't wait to even take you to court. And arraign you. Or accuse you. Before he lawyer, before he judge. He takes laws into his hand. Because anger gets into his mind, his heart, his brain. And anger covers his face.

It carries a cutlass. And if you are not careful, you are dead, you are gone. You have heard from the voice of judgment. Thou shalt not commit adultery. You have heard now as you come to church. You have heard from the voice of priests.

From the voice of preachers. Thou shalt not commit adultery. That's not strange to us. We know fornication is sinful. We know that nobody can pretend to be born again. And be committing fornication secretly.

Even if people don't know. He knows in his heart. That is just a self-deluded man. A self-deluded woman. A person adultery, fornication privately or publicly. Whether it is known or it is not known.

He doesn't have salvation. You have heard. That it had been said by them of old time. Thou shalt not commit adultery. And that is the commandment of the Lord. And it is the moral law. This moral law had been there before the law of Moses.

That is why God told Abimelech, a dead man. In Genesis chapter 20. Far before the time of the law. You, a dead man. Because that woman with you is another man's wife. And then Abimelech said. Oh Lord, but I have not touched her.

And I didn't even know the woman is another man's wife. And then God said. That is why I kept you from the woman. Now very quickly. Restored the woman unto the husband. Genesis. Before the law of Moses.

And then after the law of Moses. After Christ has come. And after Christ was buried. And after Christ rose from the dead. In the acts of the apostles. They were telling those Gentiles. In Acts chapter 15.

Acts chapter 15. I'm reading from verse 28. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost. And to us. To let no greater burden than these necessary things. On you. That ye have stained from meat to idols. And from blood.

And from things strangled. And from fornication. New Testament. After the law of Moses. Acts of the apostles. After the Holy Ghost had been poured out. Upon the believers. The era. The period. The age of the Holy Ghost.

And yet it says. You abstain from fornication. And then it says. In verse 29. From which if ye keep yourselves. Ye shall do well. Fear ye well. Therefore we understand. That this commandment. Is still standing.

Thou shalt not commit adultery. Christ has not come. To excuse sin. For mankind. He has not come to conceal. To cover up sin. He has come to expose. And to cleanse. The sin of the world. Yes he has not come to condemn us.

And leave us under condemnation. No. He has come to reveal the guilt. And the condemnation of all men. In order to make men seek. Forgiveness from God. Mercy from God. And salvation through Jesus Christ.

His light. Searches us. So that his love. May save us. Let's look at the commandment from the Old Testament. To the New Testament. Exodus chapter 20. Exodus chapter 20. What do you mean from verse 14.

Thou shalt not. Commit adultery. Thou. Shalt not. Commit adultery. Very clear. Very definite. And there was no allowance at all. There was no condition at all. And this is not what they call. Situational ethics.

That is some people will say. Alright. Thou shalt not commit adultery. If. No there is no if. It's absolute. It's complete. It is not. Thou shalt not commit adultery. If the woman does not agree. Even when she agrees.

You must not do it. Thou shalt not commit adultery. If her husband. Does not give consent to it. There are times. Some foolish husbands. Will give consent. To another man. Committing adultery with their wives.

They are looking for children. And the man knows. That he cannot produce. A child. From the woman. And therefore the man will say. I'll close my eyes. To whatever you do. Go ahead and do whatever you want to do.

And bring a baby to this family. The bible does not say. Thou shalt not commit adultery. If the husband does not give consent. Even when the husband. Foolishly gives consent. Thou shalt not. Commit adultery.

The bible does not say. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Especially when you have. Your own wife. Even when you don't have a wife. Even when your wife has run away. Even when you don't have. A legitimate scriptural way.

Of keeping your body. Thou shalt not commit adultery. The bible does not say. Thou shalt not commit adultery. If you are not a widow. But if you are a widow. And your husband is gone. And now you are alone.

By yourself. Who can accuse you? No. There is no condition. There is no situation. Even when you are a widow. A man who has lost the wife. Thou shalt not commit adultery. It doesn't say. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Except when they force you. Into it. It's not my fault. My director. Is asking for it. And I will lose my job. And I will not be able to have. Anything on hand to do. If I don't agree with this man. Lord you know my heart is not in it.

But it's this man. The bible does not give that condition. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Whatever the situation. Whatever the condition. Wherever you find yourself. Thou shalt not. Commit adultery. It's an absolute.

Commandment of the Lord. And if that. Is so. You don't have any excuse. If you privately crawl. Inside a room. And nobody sees you. But almighty God sees you. And then you are messing up your life. The commandment of God is very clear.

God's command. Against an immoral. Deed. In Deuteronomy chapter 22. Verse 22. If a man. Be found lying. With a woman. Married to an husband. Then they shall. Both of them die. Both the man. That lay with the woman.

And the woman. So that thou shalt. Put evil away from Israel. Christ hath not come. Did he have. Abundance of grace. Like we have today. And yet it says. If you find a man. In Israel. Lying carnally. With a woman.

Thou shalt put both of them. To death. Yes. Can you imagine. Today in the church. There are pastors. There are preachers. That commit fornication. Adultery with members of their church. They keep on preaching.

In the land of Israel. If you committed adultery. With a man. Whether you are a priest. A Levite. Or an ordinary man in Israel. You are gone. You are dead. And there was no allowance at all. Because of this.

Because of that. Once it is discovered. You are gone. And today if the church will be the church. Any church. Whether it is deeper life. Whether it is evangelical. Historical. Whatever kind of church.

If a man is living. In adultery. Take the microphone from the man. Take the pulpit from the man. He has no right. He is dead. You cannot just be standing. Reading the bible to us. And preaching to us.

You have nothing to preach. You are dead. A dead man cannot evangelize. A dead man cannot win souls. A dead man cannot preach. A dead man cannot mislead. A dead man cannot work in the church. He is dead.

When you find a man. When you find a woman. And he goes into adultery. In fact this one is not talking of repeated adultery. This is just an incident. In Israel. And it was so serious. And strict. That if anybody did that.

The woman is gone. The man is gone. They are dead. That is how strict the word of God is. Proverbs chapter 6. In Proverbs chapter 6. But whoso committed adultery with a woman. Whoso. That means whosoever.

Anybody. However intelligent. However wise. However rich. However popular. However talented. However gifted. However important. However significant. In the land. Whosoever. Committed adultery with a woman.

Lacketh understanding. He that doeth it. Destroyeth. What? His own soul. Somebody who has destroyed the soul. Has also destroyed his ministry. If you claim to have a ministry. And then you commit immorality.

You have forgotten. You have given up your ministry before you did that. You are not conscious of being a minister. You are not conscious of having a soul. You are not conscious of having a future. Already you gave up your future before you did it.

You have lost it. You gave up your soul. Whosoever commits adultery with a woman. Lacks understanding. He destroys his own soul. We come to Romans in the New Testament. Romans chapter 1. In Romans chapter 1.

We are reading from verse 29. Romans chapter 1 verse 29. Being filled with all unrighteousness. And then the very first one. Fornication. You see the scriptures. Very clear. Being filled with all unrighteousness.

Fornication. Wickedness. Convictiousness. Full of envy. Murder. Deceit. Malignity. Despiseful. Proud. Boasters. Inventors of evil. Disobedient to parents. Without understanding. Covenant breakers. Without natural affection.

Implacable. Unmerciful. You see the point we are making. Fornication is on top of the list. Adultery on top of the list. Immorality on top of the list. Impurity on top of the list. So that means. You cannot say.

I am not a smoker. You are a senior brother to a smoker. I am not a drunkard. You are a senior sister to a drunkard. I am not a thief. You are a senior brother to a thief. Because it is the fornicator that tops the list.

It is the number one. It is the one to get the acts of the judgment of God first. Fornication. Then all the other sins. And then we are told in verse 32. Who know in the judgment of God. That they. Which commit such things.

Are worthy of death. New testament. New testament. They who commit such things. They are not worthy of smile. They are not worthy of mercy. They are not worthy of excuse. You know when people commit fornication.

Or they commit adultery. There are people that say. But you know. God is merciful. Let us be merciful. Yes God is merciful. That in new testament age. We don't stone them. That is great mercy. In the new testament time.

We don't burn them with fire. That is God's mercy. In the old testament. In the new testament age. The fellow will be stoned. The fellow will be burnt with fire. But now the fire is taken away. The stoning is taken away.

That is the mercy. And then Calvary. The cross is there. And the person can go to the foot of the cross. And say God. I have blown it. I am dead spiritually. I need your mercy. That is mercy enough. To even keep the man alive.

And keep the woman alive. And to be able to kneel down. And pray for salvation. That is the mercy. But you know. That mercy is just for you. To be able to reconnect with God. And get saved. Not that you committed adultery yesterday.

Last month or last year. And then you are back preaching again. You have blown that one. Who knowing the judgment of God. That they which commit such things. Are worthy of death. They don't only do that they exist.

They have pleasure. In them that do them. You see then. That the new testament. Is telling us that adultery is still wrong. Hebrews chapter 13. Hebrews chapter 13. Verse 4. Marriage is honorable in all.

Marriage. Is honorable. In all. And the badge. On the file. But among us and adulterers. New testament. The time of grace. The time of love. This is after the cross. This is after Pentecost. And after Christ has come.

The bible says. The among us and adulterers. That God will judge. Is still wrong. Adultery is still wrong. Fornication is still wrong. Immorality is still wrong. And whoever does it. Destroys. His own soul.

Judgment on Persistent Immorality

But hold in. Revelation chapter 2. Revelation chapter 2. I'm reading from verse 19. Verse 19. Why don't you back up to verse 18. And unto the angel of the church. In Tartarus write. The saint says. The son of God.

Who has his eyes. Like unto a flame of fire. And his feet. Are like fine brass. I know thy works. And charity and service. And faith and thy patience. And thy works. And the last. To be more. Than the first.

And the last. To be more. Than the first. And the last. To be more than the first. You see that's. Religious activity. That's church. Activity. Your works. Your activity. Your service. To be more. Than the first.

I remember when I was in school. It was a boarding school. We all lived there. All the students lived there. And the first year. When I came in. Were all boys. And in the following year. The principal wanted to make it.

A co-educational school. That is to bring in the girls. So that we'll have boys and girls. Studying together. In those days. It was new. And the principal lectured us. For many months. Before those girls came to school.

He said. I'm taking this step. The girls are coming. And as a result of those girls coming. Some of you are not going to finish your education here. Because if I find. That you try to have a girlfriend.

Or do anything. He said you are gone. Circular school. Just education. And then eventually. Those girls came the following year. 1957. And he kept on reminding us. I told you. It's not a co-educational school.

If I find you doing this or that. You are gone. He wrote a paper. He gave it to everybody. Then he said it. Every day of the assembly. And then we have one man. In my own class. I remember his name. He was very active.

Very very active. And he'll take care of a lot of things in the school. And the principal will praise him. And they will exalt him. And say all you students. Look at this young man. This is the model.

Copy him. Follow after him. And a principal put him up almost every week. In the assembly. If he wanted to do anything. He'll call him and say. You go and do this. That's the reward of his loyalty. Faithfulness and activity.

But one day. The principal discovered. A letter. That he had reached into a girl. In the school. And said let us meet. At this place. By this time. The principal got that letter. And the principal came.

To the assembly that morning. And he said. Students today. The assembly is going to be. Longer than usual. And then said. He called the name of the student. I still remember. It was very dramatic that day.

He called him up. And the man did not know. Because he was used to the principal calling him up. Every time to exalt him. And to praise him. And he said stand there. And then he called. I remember the name of the girl.

He called the girl up. Stand here. And then the principal opened. And said pay attention. And then read the letter to the whole school. And some of the bad language. Dirty language there. And then the principal explained.

And he said. I said. Before these girls came. If you do this. You are gone. And then he gave him six strokes of the cane. And that man. He was a soldier. And when he beat somebody. He really beat the person.

And after beating him thoroughly. We did not leave the assembly. He said. You, you and you follow him to the hostel. Pack his load. Before we left the assembly. He was shown the way out of the school.

He was gone. Secular. That is how I was raised up in education. And if a person. That did not know God. The man was even an atheist. Did not even believe in God. Did not even believe the Bible. If he was that strict.

Now look at what Jesus said. I know your works. Like that man I have told you now. That your last works. Are more. Than your faults. Then he said. In verse 20. Notwithstanding. I have a few things against thee.

Because thou sufferest that woman. Jezebel. Which calleth herself. A prophetess to teach and to seduce. My servants to commit fornication. And to eat things. Sacrificing to idols. And I gave her space.

To repent of her fornication. And she repented not. Behold. I will cast her into a bed. And them that commit adultery. With her. Into great tribulation. Except. They repent of their deeds. And I will kill.

This is Jesus. This is Jesus. This is our savior. This is a God of love. But will not tolerate sin. Will not tolerate adultery. It says. I will kill her children. Her followers. Her disciples. Her supporters.

And all the churches shall know. That I am he. Which searches the reins and the hearts. And I will give unto every one of you. According to your works. But unto you I say. Unto the rest in Tyre. As many as have not this doctrine.

Which have not known the depths of Satan. As they speak. I will put upon you. None other burden. But that which ye have already. Hold fast. Till I come. That's the commandment of the Lord. Hold it fast.

This word of righteousness. This authoritative teaching. Of holiness. Hold unto it. I come to point number 2. Condemnation of an impure desire. Condemnation of an impure desire. We are looking at Matthew chapter 5.

The Condemnation of Impure Desire

Verse 28. Matthew chapter 5. Verse 28. It says. But I say unto you. That which ye have already. Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her. Already I have explained that to you. Whosoever looketh on a woman.

What the purpose. What the intention. What the desire. What the plan. What the imagination. What the strategy. The method. To commit adultery with her. Whosoever looketh on a woman. To lust after her.

Has committed adultery with her. Already in his heart. The Lord is saying. That your intention. Carries weight. Along with your action. Your purpose. Your motive. Carries judgment. Along with your practice.

Along with the things that you do. Along with the things that you do. The thought in your heart. The desires. You manifest in your heart. Your intention. Your goal. Your dream. The things you are planning to do.

Carries the evaluation. Examination of the Lord. As much as the action. Itself. That's why Jesus said. Whosoever. Looketh. On a woman. On a lady. On a girl. Whosoever. If a woman looketh on a man. To lust after him.

You have committed adultery. Already. In your heart. And these are the words of Christ. You know sometimes. As you look at religion today. And as you look at churches today. They have let the words of God.

Entirely. In fact you know. Really. If we know that Jesus is coming. Very soon. And we know the teaching of Christ. I think what a reasonable believer. A person whose heart. Is longing to get to heaven.

What a believer should do. Is just to bury himself. In Matthew chapter 5. Chapter 6. Chapter 7. And re-examine himself. And get deep into that word. And say Lord. Before the judgment day. Before the time of the rapture.

I don't want to find anything. That will disqualify me. From making it at the rapture. And just read and study and apply. And examine your life. According to this word. That you will know. That by the grace of God.

Whatever happens on earth. Whatever doesn't happen on earth. At least you make it to heaven. And Jesus said. Whosoever. You know the Lord is no respecter of persons. And just like I told you. When I was in school.
