How to Walk the Gospel Out #4 — Milton Green

And the ministry gift that he's placed in our brother. Thank you for this man who's brought such an encouragement to the body of Christ. Praise God. Brother Milton, I don't know if you're gonna say it over again or not, but you said something.

You've said a lot of things so powerfully. You know, he said, you know, after all, he said, those little demons aren't so complicated, but what God can't handle them. You know, I'll tell you, some people get devils bigger than God.

I want you to know there is nothing out of hell that's bigger than God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I appreciate the way our brothers live. Give a good hand clap and the service is yours, brother. We love you.

Thank you, brother. I appreciate it there, brother. Praise God. Hallelujah. Thank you, brother. That's another doctrine. Our weapons are mighty in God to turn down strongholds, casting down imaginations, and every thought that comes up here that exalts itself against the Word of God.

And we bring every thought captive into the obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now that got in our Bible to do instead of analyze, didn't it? We don't analyze it, we do it, isn't that right? Is that the reason it's in there?

Our Father's Word is forever settled in heaven. Our Father's Word is a final authority. Heaven and earth will pass away and our Father's Word will never pass away. Our Father's Word is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Our Father's Word is life to us and health to all our whole flesh. Our Father's Word doesn't return void without accomplishing what He desires and succeeding in the matter which He sends it. Our Father's Word sanctifies us, renews our minds, separates us from the world, into righteous we rule and reign in life through the gift of righteousness and the grace of God through the Lord Jesus Christ.

We're more than conquerors. We take dominion, we rule and reign in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. God is our Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ is our Lord and we're a product of His love. We have love, we have joy, we have peace.

We have long-suffering, goodness, jealous, meekness, temperance, and faith. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. We're strengthened in all power by the might of the Lord. We let the high praises of God be in our mouth, the two-edged sword in our hand.

We execute vengeance upon the heathen, punishment on the people, to bind their kings with chain, their nobles with fetters of iron, to execute upon them the judgment written. In this honor, however, we let all the riches of the glory of the inheritance of the saints and the exceeding greatness of His power to us who believe according to the working of His mighty power, the same power which He wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and set Him at His own right hand in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

He disarmed the rulers and authorities. He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them, and He's given us authority in His covenant name and covenant word over all, all, all, all, all the perks of darkness in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We always triumph in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We take dominion right now in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and every work of darkness and all the heaviness, all the oppression right now, all destruction, and all the every work of darkness over these people, every word, curse, and spell.

Jesus became a curse. We lifted all of them right now in the name of Jesus. Lift up your hands there in the name of Jesus. All worry is released right now, all the works of intimidation and all fear, all dread is commanded to be released right now.

All heaviness, all burden, all gloom is released right now. All confusion, mind wandering, and mind-binding spirits are released right now. All oppression and all confusion is gone right now in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Every religious spirit and all religious oppression right now is released, and skepticism, and unbelief and doubt is released right now in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Tiredness, fatigues, and sleepiness, these works are all released right now in the name of Jesus.

Praise God. Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah to the name of Jesus. Praise God. Praise the Lord. Now, Father, we just come to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. We now receive your word. We receive the furnished works of Calvary.

We receive the fruit of the Spirit. We receive the weapons of our warfare. And Lord Jesus, we just receive your presence right now in the name of Jesus. We invite you to come and minister. I would just pray to anoint it, to quicken, and enlighten your word now in Jesus' name.

And Father, I just pray for clarity. I just pray for liberty and freedom for each person right here in the name of Jesus. Praise Jesus. Now, Lord Jesus, you're just so precious. And we just wanna thank you, Lord.

We thank you, Lord, that we can come with you a shout of praise like the interpretation said. We just wanna bless you and praise you and give you all the glory because we come to worship you and receive your word that we'll be conformed to the image of Jesus, that we'll love you with all our heart and our neighbors ourself, and we bless you.

And I speak your blessing, peace, grace, love, healing deliverance over this meeting. Lord, be the God forevermore. Hug three people around the neck before you sit down, okay? Turn James 1, please. James 1.

We're gonna talk about how the God kind of love is perfected in you tonight. How it's perfected in you? Now, you have a divine nature. What does this divine nature look like? And we're gonna see how, while we're looking at this, we're gonna see how and why people miss this divine nature because of religious traditions and other things here.

For the powers of darkness, really. The powers of darkness, folks, if someone does not understand them, if you don't understand the powers of darkness, they're probably talking to you all the time. Anyone that's not in the war, the powers of darkness have just about occupied all their time with thoughts and suggestions.

And we're gonna begin by looking at this right here at verse 14. Well, let's see verse 13. Let no one say when he is tempted, I'm being tempted by God, for God himself does not tempt of evil, and he himself does not tempt anyone.

We know that God doesn't do the tempting, don't we? We know the powers of darkness do the tempting, but each one is tempted. You might circle that tempted when he is carried away and enticed. Now, I want you to circle tempted and enticed by what?

Why don't you put that flash on and just turn it on there, Walter? Okay. All right, the powers of darkness come, all of these things exalt themselves against the word of God and all the works of the flesh.

They come to fill your mind full of these thoughts right here. They wanna get these thoughts down into your heart, and when it gets down in your heart, you receive it, then it's gonna be coming out your mouth.

And then when you're coming out your mouth, you're not getting your prayers answered, you don't have peace, and the powers of darkness have ground to attack you, destroy you, and they work death in you.

Everybody see that? Ain't that right? Okay. Now, that's how they do it. Now, they come, now, we just read this first. They come to entice you and tempt you. Let me get my Bible. They come to entice you and tempt you after this cursed nature which you repented from and supposed to die to and put to death, right?

So, if you're not in a war, you'll receive these thoughts into your heart, they'll come out your mouth, you produce the fruit, they'll build strongholds, they'll get ground because when you practice these things, they're in your life.

Front row, back row, or platform, you might as well adjust to it. And I tell you, when any of them get any control in your life and you're not walking in peace, death is working in you. Also, I'll promise you one thing else, you're not walking in love.

Every one of these things right here exploits, is deceitful, and it uses your neighbor. It's the very opposite of loving your neighbor. Amen? That's what sin, and by the way, that's what sin and rebellion is, is when you exploit or you don't use, any act you do that doesn't love your neighbor is sin and rebellion, okay?

And that's what the powers of night, they get you, they put these, say, anger, whatever, they put that in your mind, and then they build it up, it comes down in your heart, and it comes out your mouth right there.

Then you're breaking God's law. Then they can move in and get built, when you agree with them in your heart and your mouth, right there, and you speak these, then the powers of darkness, when you speak and you agree with the nature of Satan, they can come and move in strongholds on you, and they're there, folks.

They're absolutely there. And so this is what it talks about. They come to entice you and attempt you with these works of the flesh, so they can carry you away from the faith of love. Loving the Lord with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself.

Now, that's exactly what that verse is saying. And by the way, you're gonna say this, see, this is talking to brethren, not the pool room again, okay? All right, now, verse 15. Then when lust is conceived, now, let's just stop and look at this.

Lust is conceived, see, if you really hate the flesh nature, and you only want to love the nature of God, you're gonna despise criticism, you're gonna hate greed, you're gonna hate grumbling and scoffing, you're gonna, if you don't love the flesh nature, you're not gonna receive these thoughts of murder, and because all your heart belongs, you love the Lord with all your heart, you're gonna hate these thoughts, isn't that right?

But on the other hand, now, if you don't love the Lord with all your heart, and you're not loving with all your heart, then you'll receive these thoughts, and you'll meditate on them. You know what these thoughts right here, they're seed.

Now, watch very closely. These works of the flesh come as seed. They're seeds that the enemy right here, once you see the war goes on right up here, you stop it in your mind before it gets down in your heart, right?

So they plant these seeds right here, and if you don't stop them, these seeds will go down in here in your heart. Now, whatever treasure you put in your heart is gonna come out your mouth. You follow me?

If you just put this treasure right here, receive the word implanted, then your fruit of love is gonna come out your mouth. But if you're receiving these thoughts against your brothers, these seed is gonna come out down in your heart, and the powers of darkness is always showing you what's wrong with your wife, what's wrong with your husband, what's wrong with your children.

They're showing you what's wrong with people at work. Listen to me. People who love the flesh nature, the power, the walk in selfishness and self-love, therefore, the powers of darkness are able to tear down every relationship you have.

People that walk like the devil can't have any relationship because the powers of, it's part of the curse. Because they'll always lie to you. They're lying to each one of you. In a marriage, any kind of relationship or friendship, they're lying to each one of you about each other.

They're always, and see, if you're not a lamb, if you're not a lamb, you won't put things up on the table. See, that's the only way you can expose the devil is get everything up front. See, if something, some people that walk in the love and the body of Christ is trying to please the Lord with all their heart, they have this kind of freedom.

Say, brother, you know, there's something going on right here, and I've got to get this thing. I'm believing that such and such and such and such that you did such and such. And then he'll turn around and he'll tell you, well, you know, I was thinking the very opposite.

I was thinking, you see, none of that is true because I was thinking such and such and such and such and such. See, the devil was telling you both of you a lie. But see, if you're holding on to pride and all these kind of things, you harbor these things, and they build into strongholds, and this is how the power of the Lord.

But when you put everything up front, now listen to me, when a lamb doesn't have anything to hide, he puts everything up front because all his motives is Jesus. None of this stuff works. He's not interested in that.

Only thing he's interested in is Jesus, and he puts it all up there. That is the way you expose the power of the Lord. And when you start doing that, you expose their lies, lies, lies. Now, the minute you put it on the table, all of that torment's gonna end in your mind.

It ends. See, they're gonna torment you about unforgiveness towards somebody or resentment towards somebody or rejection to somebody. When you go talk to them, honey, then you'll find out all the lies that were involved with the powers of darkness there, and the moment you get that thing right, it's all over.

No more torment. Listen, when you do everything is unto the Lord. God protects you. I'm gonna tell you something, folks, just like Brother Bob was talking about. It's abomination to fear the powers of darkness.

It's abomination to make anything out of this place. I'll tell you what we make something out of is God. Now, see, when we get on what God's up to, he takes care of the powers of darkness, and there was us to begin with, right?

He just shows, he gets involved with us. Now, I want you to know, he doesn't have any problem with the powers of darkness, okay? Because they don't get to do nothing he doesn't let them do. Nothing. Did Satan have to get permission from God before he jumped on Job and brought that sickness and all that stuff?

Sure he does. God, the powers of darkness don't cross their heads. Let me tell you, just to give you an example, you start dealing with demons, and I don't believe in this manifestation stuff. I believe in this manifestation stuff.

Somebody needs, you need to get them saved first because, see, all we want to see is a manifestation of God. We don't see no manifestation. But back when I didn't know any better and things like that, and I thought you had to go through these manifestations and everything, and sometimes there might be situations where you do, when you start using the word in the name of Jesus, you find out who doesn't tremble.

Are you seeing what I'm saying? But see, we don't have, it's the prayer of, and a power comes through righteous people. It doesn't come through double-minded people. And this is where we've been missing it by our religious traditions.

And our ancestors didn't understand the powers of darkness who handed down a bunch of stuff, and folks, I want to tell you something. We've learned a bunch of things, and we enjoy a lot of things, but I'm going to tell you something.

I've learned a lot of things this morning I never heard of in my life, in my Bible this morning. So don't adjust and settle down anywhere because there's a lot of things the Lord is wanting to show us.

Now, what do we got? The ones that's wise virgins and Christians are going to come to light. Now, they come to entice you and tempt you to carry you away from the faith. How they carry you away from the faith?

Getting you to break God's law. When they get you to break God's law, the hedge comes down. And when the hedge comes down, they can start building strongholds and fortresses, and then they can put diseases and things with this to begin destroying you.

Amen? Now, they put these seed, they try to get these seed in your heart, and they do it by thoughts up here. Now, if you meditate on what they are saying, let's take sexual lust. If you meditate on lust up here, and you don't resist it up here, it's going to go down in your heart.

What, Matthew, you say that you have committed adultery is when you've done it in your what? Heart. Isn't that right? See, the heart is the whole issue. Either your heart believes under righteousness, or your heart believes under unrighteousness.

Now, the question is, who has your heart? If religious traditions have your heart, I'm going to tell you what, you're no different from the world. You just probably quit drinking, smoking, chewing, and cussing, but you still walk and talk like a devil.

Amen? You just clean up your act a little bit, because don't you understand something, folks? What God calls love and righteousness has not been what we've been calling righteousness and holiness and love.

It's two different things. You've got to understand this. If you don't understand it, you've shot for the wrong goal. Amen? And see, and also understand this, too. See, that's where all the glory is. This is where you get all your prayers answered.

This is where all, folks, this is where it is. God just pours out heaven on you. But you have to suffer. Don't let Mr. Pride come along and kind of put a little condemnation on you because you're suffering the flesh, because we're going to see later on, it's not joyful, but sorrowful when you're dying.

Amen? But after you've suffered for a little while, that's when you establish strength and confirmed and established. All right, now. These things exalt themselves, all the works of the devil, exalt themselves against the word of God, against the law of God, and that this is what the powers of darkness come to do to entice you, to tempt you.

Now, once again, they put these thoughts in your mind. False teachers, powers of darkness use false teachers, and they, 2 Peter 2, that's how they try to lead you after your fleshly lust. They promise you freedom while they're slaves of corruption also.

This is corruption right here. That's corruption of the, and you're supposed to escape the corruption that's in the world of lust. So that's what Jesus came to do. So now, then when lust, well, let's just read it again now, while we got to 14.

Each one is tempted when he is carried away from the faith, and he is enticed by his own lust. Now, when you're carried away from the faith when you're not walking in love, and this is the very, the powers of darkness bring the very opposite of love to your mind.

Then when this lust is conceived, in other words, you meditated on it in your mind, instead of resisting these thoughts, putting up a shield of faith, you start meditating. When you start meditating, listen to me right here.

Like unforgiveness comes up here instead of, instead, you know, if you love the flesh, you love what the powers, you welcome the thoughts of unforgiveness that the powers of darkness talk to you about.

Because if you love the flesh, you want to get him back. You want to revile back anger, revenge, grudge. Are you hearing? So you welcome these thoughts of unforgiveness, but if you love Jesus more than you do anything else, if you love the Lord with all your heart, you'll say, Lord, I know my flesh right now is wanting to hit back at this person, but I want your approval more than I do my own.

And I choose, Lord, to suffer here because I want to please you more than I want to please myself or anything else. And so what you'll do in that particular faith, you know that God's looking right at you all the time.

He's looking right in your heart. Every thought. And so you choose to stand right there and say, Lord, you say in your word, from the throne of grace, I can receive mercy and grace and help in time of need of temptation.

I'll not be tempted by any point, but without that temptation, there's going to be a way of escape. From your throne, I receive love and forgiveness. Love and forgiveness is flowing through me now to this one that wants to murder me over there.

And what do you think happens? There it comes. It's only when the Lord doesn't have all your heart that you have a problem with these thoughts because if you still love the flesh nature, you're going to love the suggestions from the powers that are in you because the flesh nature and the nature of Satan and the powers that are in you is the same thing.

See, what you're going to have to work on is decide to repent, to decide you love the Lord more than you do anything else. Amen? And then when you love the Lord more than anything else, these are not going to be any temptations for you because you're not trying to please flesh and selflessness and self-love in the ways of Satan.

You're trying to please God. So amen? So you suffer in the flesh, but you'll cease from sin. You're not going to meditate on them. So these seeds cannot conceive in your mind. So then you're purifying your heart with the word of God because all your motives and thoughts is to purify your heart.

So you'll be conformed to the image of Jesus. You'll have the nature of God. Amen? And in that way, you have a renewed mind. You no longer have the mind of Satan. You have the mind of the Lord because you have a renewed mind when you put to death the deeds of the flesh.

Now everybody see that, hold up your hand. Okay, all right. So then, all these want you to come against your neighbor. Remember that mind set on the flesh, if your mind loves the flesh nature, you're hostile to God and you will not subject yourself to the law of God.

Amen? Okay. Okay. Now when lust is conceived, it gives birth to sin. And then when sin is accomplished, the powers of likeness have ground in your life then and then it brings forth what? Because you've broken God's law.

Is God's law bring death? Amen? Shake your head. Brings death. All right, now all of these want you to come against your neighbor. Is that right? Selfishness and self-love. You're not loving your neighbor when you're living in selfishness and self-love.

If you're living in self-love, you're living in self-worship. All right, now let's just continue verse 19. So it goes on to warn you. This you know, my beloved brethren, but let everyone be quick to hear and you better be slow to what?

You better be slow to speak against your brother. Are you beginning to see this? Don't let the fruit come out of your mouth that comes against your brother. Are you hearing me? All right, quick to hear and slow to speak and slow to anger.

For the anger of man does not achieve, it comes short of the righteousness of God. Therefore, you putting aside all, all, all filthiness. Can I tell you what filthiness is? Right here you see it. All these works of the flesh.

Every work of the flesh and everything is not love and breaks God's law. It's put aside. You put aside all that remains of filthiness, all the filthiness and all that remains of wickedness. Which is the works of the flesh.

And now in humility, you're gonna receive the word implanted. This word implanted is gonna perfect you in love. This is how you're born again by the word of God. And it's gonna save your soul. If we see it, Jesus told us, you're gonna have eternal life.

You're gonna love the Lord with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. You can never be perfected in love. You can never love your neighbor as yourself unless you first love the Lord with all your heart.

And if you don't love the Lord with all your heart, you're not gonna receive the word implanted. You're just in religion. I hope that you're learning something about the fear of God here, folks. You know, a little, I just feel like some stronghold just shot some darts right up.

Well, that's too hard to do. You know what I'm really saying to you right here? What was so difficult to ask you to love the Lord with all your heart? What is so difficult about that, to love the Lord?

What's wrong with that? Unless there's some part of you that you love better. And the only thing that can be would be the nature of Satan. And that'll get you killed. You can come to every meeting, you still get killed.

You can go to a lot of seminars and still get killed. The issue is loving the Lord with all your heart. Folks, it's the side. This is what repentance is. The side you're gonna love the Lord with all your heart, then you have to give up the world.

You have to give up your family. You have to give up. In other words, you give up everything else but come second. God, I'm living for you. And then when you do that, the spirit of God's all over. He puts a few angels around you and he's not bad fellowship.

It's not a total loss, is it? Isn't that right? Now, listen to me. You put aside filthiness and wickedness. But listen, folks, if you're still gonna hold on to some of these things of pride and greed, now watch me.

You're not gonna receive the word implanted in your heart. You know why? You'll resist the part of the Bible that comes against pride and greed because you love pride and greed more than you do Jesus.

That's why it said you have to put it all aside. This is what the power of the darkness wants you to do. They wanna make an idol out of pride. They wanna make an idol out of greed. How would that apply to a man who teaches a word?

How much of this Bible do you think he's gonna use to tear down pride and greed when he loves pride and greed? How's he gonna tear down those strongholds in you? After you're fully trained, you're gonna be like your teacher.

If Jesus is your teacher, you're gonna be like him. If some man who still loves pride and greed, you're gonna walk out with spiritual pride too. Are you following me? That's the reason the power of the word says you better take care of what you listen to.

You better guard your heart from all flows, issues of life. You better be sure what gets down in your heart. That's the reason 2 Timothy 2 says, the fellowship of those who come to the Lord with a pure heart.

You out here walking and talking like the world, you're getting killed. You're getting destroyed. That's the world in the church today. This is a different thing going on today. It's in your Bible, it's in context, and God's letting us see it, grace.

Now, if you're a wise virgin, you're gonna come to light. If you're a foolish virgin, you want peace and safety, and you just don't like to hear having to give up pride and greed and selfishness and self-centered, you won't come.

That's how Jesus said, I didn't come to bring peace. I came to bring a sword. I'm gonna divide mother-in-law and daddy-in-law and sister-in-law and son and father, daughter. It's gonna divide. My family is split wide open.

I'm not going over where they are. They have to come over where I am. I've got God. You hear me? Now, remember that the word is not gonna receive in plan. Now, you can just be religious and you intend everything.

You do back flips and shake, rattle, and roll, but I'm gonna tell you what, unless you receive the word in your heart, buddy, you're getting killed. Now, you better back up. You better back up and decide.

You love the Lord with all your heart. It's only when you love the Lord with all your heart are you a love the things that exalt themselves against the word of God and break God's law. Now, folks, let me tell you something.

It's when you love the Lord with all your heart is simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. Isn't that right, brother? It's a simplicity. It's when you love the Lord with all your heart. I tell you what's real complicated.

It's getting rid of the devil when you love him. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Now, when you love the nature of the devil, you get him. And he come with a sword too, brother. You don't make any truce with him or any peace with him.

You don't make any covenant with him, he'll kill you. The way you, everybody in this world, now, let me show you something about the justice and judgment of God. This world is in rebellion to God. It's hostile to God.

It shakes its head right in God's face. You know, they're wise in their own eyes. It'd be sure terror. People actually die from fear if they understood the judgment of God. But God allows people to be wise in their own eyes.

He permits people to draw near with their mouth while their heart is far from him. But see, he puts a sword right to their throat. God lets those who wanna walk and obey in him and see every word that they say against God, every word they do to break God's law and motive, God just lets more chains get on them.

That's the rod. More strongholds, they come and come and come because they don't repent and turn to God. They don't honor God and they're not gonna love God. And everyone, now listen to this, everyone is destroyed and removed from this earth that won't honor God or his word.

And it looks like that people get by with things. And if you could just see what's happening to them in the spiritual, how the powers of darkness are just entering their bodies. And he said, you can watch the wicked.

Don't envy the wicked people. He said, you can just watch them. And I, you see, after a little while, you're gonna look for them and they're not gonna be around because the powers of darkness don't do anything but kill, steal, and destroy.

And it kills, steal, and destroy, and torment with pure hell everyone that does not have the hedge and protection of God. And everyone who refuses to honor God, to honor his word, do not have that hedge and protection.

As a matter of fact, God lets you have a little sample of that. When you break his laws, he stays on the throne of grace. He lets you come back, but he lets everybody be destroyed. Today is a great falling away.

You're living in it today. There's a falling away from the faith. People are taught it's okay to practice these things, that you can have two natures. You can walk, take the devil by one hand, you can take God by the other hand.

James 1 tells you a double-minded man will receive nothing from God. James 3 tells you you speak blessings and cursing. Brother, this is a world of flesh and demonics. James 4 calls this, you speak this double-mindedness.

That's who the adulterous whore harlot is. That's the ones that false doctrines that do not conform you to Godliness. Teach people that they can walk in this and they've got a place in heaven because they capture their hearts.

See, I've got me a new doctrine tonight. There's number one, do this. Number two, do this. Number three, do this. Number four, do this, and be saved. And see, when this captures your heart right here, you can toss your Bible away.

You don't have to be formed to godliness because you've got some smart men, the precepts and opinions of men right here, they're smarter than God, and you just follow them to hell. I better leave this close by.

If you don't think some teeth and action's fixing to go on, folks, are you hearing me? God, I'm gonna tell you, sheep are gonna start hearing. Everyone can hear is gonna have, are gonna leave the pig pens.

You know what the second Peter two says about false teaching? It said they'll lead you and guide you into your fleshly lusts. It says a man who'll see the word of God and then turn to sin here is like a pig after you get, like you get, do you get worship of the word of God?

So you worship pig and he go and jump right back in the pig pen. So all false teaching is pig pens, and it leads people to destruction. And see, we're talking about something that's so important. It's grace and mercy, folks.

You know, we've been proud about so many things, and you know, just kind of strut around. You know, I've heard about people that can sit down and strut. I think that kind of, kind of explains where we're kind of coming from and everything, but it's a time to humble themself.

Joel says, Joel is talking about a people that's going to fast on that, and then see, joy and gladness has left the house of God. Here, I run into a man today in a place that was with a pastor right here, and boy, I'm telling you what, see, his whole life is centered around Jesus, but don't you count down and start looking back at somebody that's not where you are.

I want you to know every one of us have got a different place to go and walk in. Are you hearing what I'm saying? You can always find these people. You start comparing yourself among yourself and maybe yourself by yourself without understanding.

Right here, I'm gonna tell you where you're headed for, to love the Lord with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. Now, when you get there, once again, we can call it it, okay? What happened to that holy thing right there?

There it is. Okay. Are you seeing how you receive the word implanted? Folks, if you love other things, if you've got some mantles, why don't you just lay your Bible down and quit reading it until you get ready to love the Lord with all your heart?

The Bible's not changing your heart and it's not changing your life because you're not receiving it implanted, amen? Okay, so you put aside all filthiness, that's it. Wickedness, you put aside, then you receive the word implanted and then when you love the Lord with all your heart, you're not gonna enjoy this stuff when it comes in your mind and so when you don't enjoy it, you're not gonna welcome it into your heart.

Glory be to God, that's good, isn't it? I wish I'd known that a long time ago. I'd miss a lot of jails and a lot of nut houses, I'll tell you that for sure. I was looking, I went up to the jail and I went up to people, I went up, I'm telling him today, I was on drugs and I was seeking help.

Standing over bridges in a loot in Chicago up there, just went up on a 60-story building, that's about how tall, it used to be a steel rig and I went up there at night and found my way through there, actually got up there at night to go up there and jump off and just stand on the edge of it and boy, just one thought and I can just go, I can end all this, just jump off.

I leaned over, I leaned over, boy, I just wanted to go and get it all over with. I was listening to a name, of course, I didn't know that. And something just tell me back. And then finally, I got on the coping and run around the edge of the building on that coping about that wide right there and maybe I'll just stumble and fall off at night, drugs.
