When Victory Is Impossible — Keith Daniel

Our God, we do thank Thee from the depth of our hearts, that we can bow before Thee in worship and adoration here tonight as Thy people. We thank Thee for the death of our Saviour, Jesus, the Christ, God manifest in the flesh, God with us, God the Son.

We thank Thee that God took on Him the form of a man and died. It's beyond our comprehension, but we believe it and have no doubt that Jesus was God, the Creator of this world, the Saviour of this world in the coming Judge.

And so we bless Thee for our Saviour, Father, Thy Son, and that Thou didst so love the world, us, and every living being, that Thou didst give Thine only begotten Son. That whosoever liveth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

We worship Thee for the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and we worship Thee that He ever liveth to make intercession for us. As a high priest standing before God the Father, He ever liveth to make intercession for us, wherefore He is able to save them to the uttermost, which come to God through Him.

And so we come to Thee through Jesus our Father, we come to Thee through Thy Son. And we ask Thee to cleanse me in the blood of Jesus Christ, the Flesh, only with the Holy Spirit, who shall not speak of Himself, except in awe of Thy Christ.

And His whole work is to conform us back into the image not of the Father, but the image of Thy Son. Come by Thy Holy Spirit, anoint and fill, and speak to the depth of our hearts through the Holy Bible, Thy Holy Sacred Word.

That we at length tremble to open, and that we ask Thee, in mercy and grace upon us, to look upon us as we consider the words of this book, and ask for grace to take them with our hearts and lift them.

In Jesus the Christ's name, for His glory, and in faith unswerving, we unitedly ask this of our Father in Heaven. Amen. We read in 1 Timothy 5 .22. Neither be partakers of other men's sins. Keep thyself pure.

The Danger of Giving Place to the Devil

Neither give place to the devil. Don't give the devil any opportunity to defile you again. Don't invite Satan to hurt you spiritually. Don't give the devil any opportunity, inviting him to defile you again.

Neither give place to the devil. Be vigilant, because your adversary, your enemy, the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 5 verse 8. The title of my sermon tonight is When Victory is Impossible.

When Victory is Impossible. My wife and I, for the last number of years, have gone to New Zealand for a few weeks, and had many wonderful opportunities to speak to the conservative godly of that land, in the North Island, Auckland, and many other towns, conferences, outreaches that they arrange.

A family that we met in New Zealand, by the name of Lois and Barry Jordan. Some of you might have heard them, ATI people. And did a lot of work with Mr. Gothard's work, in Romania, other countries, over the years.

But they are one exciting family. Life was one incredible adventure. I hope it has been for you. If I had 50 lives over, I wouldn't hesitate to cry to God, if he gave me another 50 lives, let me have the same adventure of serving the earth.

When they were married, their honeymoon was going to Europe. What to do? To win souls. On the streets, they just went as young missionaries. That was their honeymoon. And they haven't stopped, it seems.

They're right in their 60s now, but what an incredible couple. That we were so privileged, and oh, what a thrill to hear them. They spoke of, in the early years, going to Europe, how they were stunned at these old stations.

You know, you have beautiful stations. You break down your buildings all the time in America, it seems, to put new, most of them. Europe doesn't. Europe preserves the old. The old stations, some of them are there for so long now, they're part of the heritage of the nation's history.

They're like walking into history. Well, they said that in Bucharest, in Hungary, as a young couple, they were astonished as the train pulled into this massive old steel structure, you know, in Europe, Bucharest.

They were astonished at how many dogs, stray wild dogs, they were running in packs around this old station, running down the rail lines, running, scavenging from the trash heaps to stay alive. They were just there, they stayed alive by their own scavenging, and no one cared for them.

But what shocked them is that these dogs did the most atrocious things, and they're mischievous, and they're adventurous, mischief, and dangerous things. They would run as a pack, because when you're with a pack, you will always follow.

Don't doubt it. They would run, and it didn't take much to get some of them, after these big trains coming in, and they'd jump, barking in front of the steel wheels, you know. This thing just would come, oh, the danger.

Then as they looked, they noticed that almost every one of those dogs were maimed, had limbs cut off, through this dangerous, mischievous, foolish activity. You know, this to them was fun, fun to get crippled.

But in spite of that, they still pursued the same thing that maimed them, that crippled them. They were walking, obviously many had been killed, obviously many, but that didn't stop them. That didn't stop them.

That's the shock of it. Oh, how many Christians foolishly chase after things that cripple them, spiritually. Oh, how many Christians are influenced and chase after things that wound them, and destroy them, and cripple them in their pursuit of God.

That is staggering. But why? Why would a professing Christian, ask yourself if you're guilty, and try and answer yourself. I dare you. Why would a professing Christian still chase, and follow, and seek the company of the Godless?

And become crippled as a result, spiritually, deeply wounded spiritually, by pursuing things that the lost chased after, the lost pursued. Why? Why? When God says, be not deceived. Be not deceived, young people.

Evil communications corrupt good manners, 1 Corinthians 15, 33. Evil communications, evil company. Why would God warn a Christian this if it wasn't possible that you could still choose evil company? Oh, you say to win them.

Oh, brother, sister, let me be honest with you, and be honest with yourself. The Holy Spirit always draws in everything you do in the name of Christ. And you know, when you cross over that line, it's no longer God's will.

Oh, to win their souls is one thing. But when you know, you're not there to win their souls anymore, you're never going to win their souls. If anything, they're winning you. They're influencing you to go back.

Then you're not there in the will of God. You're very foolish. Be not deceived, God says. Don't think you'll get away with it. Evil communications, evil company, corrupt good manners. What does that mean?

Evil company undermines and destroys godly virtue. It will destroy your pursuit of God. If you have any pursuit of God left, you will become maimed and crippled spiritually. And your pursuit of God will be a terrible shame.

Through the wounds, you will be inflicted with fools. Fools make a mock at sin. Proverbs 14, verse 9. And a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Proverbs 13, verse 20. Fools make a mock at sin. And God warns.

Who's he warning? The godless? No, you, me. A companion of fools shall be destroyed. Proverbs 13, verse 20. Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil, God says. To whom? His people. Exodus 23, verse 2.

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil, as Isaiah 57, verse 20, declares the wicked. The wicked are like a troubled sea. It cannot rest. They weary themselves. They weary themselves to commit iniquity.

Jeremiah 9, verse 5. Which drinketh iniquity like water. Job 15, verse 16. Giving themselves over to fornication. That's filthiness. Giving themselves over to fornication. Jude, verse 7. That they may do evil.

That they may do evil with both hands. Earnestly. Micah 7, verse 3. With no restraint. Who causes the righteous to go astray. In an evil way. Proverbs 28, verse 10. You're not going to get away with it.

They cause the righteous to go astray in an evil way. Oh, don't become lovers of pleasure. More than lovers of God. 2 Timothy 3, verse 4. God speaking to his children. Don't say there's no possibility.

Don't become lovers of pleasure. More than lovers of God. 2 Timothy 3, verse 4. He that loveth pleasure. He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man. Proverbs 21, verse 17. Jeremiah 7, verse 24. But they hearkened not.

Perhaps you, tonight, God says this on. Word perfect. Answer God, it is you. They hearkened not. Nor inclined their ear. But walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart. And went backward and not forward.

Speaking of God's people. They went backward and not forward. God's word cries out to us all as Christians. Be not entangled again in the snares of this world. You can or God wouldn't warn you. Be not entangled again in the snares of this world.

Neither be partakers of other men's sins. Keep thyself pure. 1 Timothy 5, 22. Psalm 1, verse 1. Blessed. I love that word. They say the new versions say happy. Well, I don't want to touch the new versions.

Let alone read them. Let's not get controversial now. I said it, good. Now don't leave. I won't say it again. Blessed. I love the word blessed. You see, I know happy sinners. Not every sinner's out there.

Oh, woe is me, I'm in sin. I know a lot of sinners who are happy. But I don't know any sinners that have God's joy. God's peace. That passes all understanding. The joy of the Lord. Joy unspeakable, full of glory.

There's no comprehending it until you experience it. This blessedness is God's reward. To those who do this, answer yourself. Have you done this? For you're not blessed, sir. Not by God. Blessed, God said.

This is God's reward. It's the man that hears the gospel, responds to an appeal, prays a sinner's prayer, writes a date and time, stands up and testifies. I was going to a prayer meeting. No, no, no. God doesn't say that.

Most people who only have that look cursed. And people aren't watching. No, this is what God will bless you. And all the rest, I guarantee you know nothing but emptiness and frustration and the heart that condemns you.

With all the other things you can talk about. Unless this is your life. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly. What does that mean? He will never allow the ungodly to influence him again.

Never. God says, not me. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel, the influence of the ungodly. Nor standeth in the way of sinners. He will never go where sinners go to be fulfilled with sin.

He will never go where sinners go for their happiness. That is not God's happiness. But their momentary satisfaction with sin. Which is only and always momentary. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly.

Nor standeth in the way of sinners. He will never go where sinners go. Is this your life? If it isn't, we're saying you've been. Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. What does that mean? There's always scornish.

Find me a church left on earth, even the most conservative you'll ever find on earth that hasn't got a little group of scorners. Those who sit there and look at the other young people who go all the way through with God and they scorn them, ostracize them.

There's always scorn. There's scorners. It's always speaking of scorning those who go through with God. There's nothing here. It's scorning the godless that God's speaking about. It's scorn. They find it a delight.

Oh, he will never sit. He'll never associate. He'll never identify or keep company with those that scorn the godless. In Psalm 26 verse 5, David cried, I have hated the congregation of evildoers. I have hated the gathering places of evildoers where they go for evil.

But you can't walk out of there with a testimony if you go in and you name the name of Christ. You walk out, you have no testimony left. It's credible. To anyone that knows you went there, that means you know you are not allowed there.

I have hated the congregation, the gathering places of evildoers and will not sit with the wicked. Psalm 26 verse 5, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season or this brief moment called life.

And that's the biggest shock most of you are ever going to have in life is how short it is. How terribly short it is. Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.

Hebrews 11, 25. Isaiah 59 verse 15 It speaks of the gospel dispensation. The only book in the Bible that you can say apart from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John is the gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John.

The only other book in the entire Bible is Isaiah. The gospel according to Isaiah 500 years before Christ appeared on earth. Every single thing was there. His birth to a virgin Isaiah 7, 14 that he was God, the Son manifest in the flesh Isaiah 9, 12 How when he came it would be a great light with his darkness around the source of Galilee.

How it would all lead for him to be crucified Isaiah 53 and why he would die for your sins and mine that when we make his soul an offering for sin God will see those sufferings and he will be dead. The first appeal of the gospel was made in Isaiah 54 and 55 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found All in the context and then comes the judgment of God to those that reject.

Most of Isaiah in its context is speaking of the gospel dispensation of what would come 500 years later through Christ. Oh the Jews say it's Cyrus. No. Sit with them in the end they want to cry they run.

One man ran screaming for me when I was in Israel screaming and he was brilliant in his orthodoxy. They have no answer. It's Christ. But Isaiah says these strange words in Isaiah 59 verse 15 He that departeth from evil that means repents and turns from sin.

As a result in its immediate context of the gospel of Christ of Christ's death, life and call for us to turn he that departeth from evil through the gospel maketh himself a prey. Isaiah told you what would happen if you turn from sin not turn to religion.

Religion is sickening outrageous blasphemous sacrilege if you don't live this book and pursue what God says it is sacrilegious blasphemy to say you say if you don't pursue with all your heart and not reject this book God says what will result persecution.

He that departed from evil as a result of the gospel maketh himself a prey. You know what that means literally in the Hebrew insane that's the closest you will come to what God said to Isaiah you'll be looked upon as insane.

You go through with God to see how it starts right with your family. My Christian in Pilgrim's Progress. His wife said he's beside himself. You've lost your senses. What he got saved. He was excommunicated from the church.

You remember that you're insane. You've lost your sensibilities. What do people say. Oh he's insane. He has a distemper. Oh get saved really saved. And watch where your enemies are. They begin in the hall God says if they don't want Christ or repentance from the things that you turn from the man's enemies are the members of his own house where the sun rises up against the father daughter against her mother.

The man's enemies become the members of his own house. If his house has people who will not turn and cannot tolerate those who do without treating them as evil. He that departeth from evil will be accounted as mad.

He maketh himself a prey. Oh beloved. All who will live godly. Not all who come out to get a testimony and carry on like the world. In the world part of the world. All who will live godly in Christ Jesus' cell suffer persecution.

God says God says. But young man young woman be willing to be loved to scorn for God's sake and your own. Be willing to be loved to scorn but don't be a companion a fool. Don't be a companion of those that go into foolish things that can destroy their lives.

Don't you let it happen to you when you're saved. Proverbs 28 verse 7. Galatians 6 verse 14. God forbid. Paul cries out that I said glory. There's nothing a preacher can glory. What have I got to glory.

In education. Academic knowledge of Greek Hebrew qualifications that give me the right to think I can stand up and preach because I've got six years in Oxford. Oh no. I've got nothing to glory. Any of you could possibly even raise your eyebrow and say oh that's good.

I've got nothing. And Paul said God forbid that I said glory. I've got nothing. Save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The closer a man is to God who preaches. There's only one thing he glories in.

And that's Christ's death for this world. God forbid that I said glory. Save in the cross apart from the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ by whom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world. Now.

That's something always quote the second half of the verse. Don't be like a Jehovah Witness that can't that dare not. If you have come to Christ through the cross this is what happens. By whom the world is crucified unto me.

The world dies to me. The world in my home my wife my children my father my mother. By whom the world anywhere not just out there in the wicked places but everywhere is crucified. I die to them and I unto the world.

All they do I die to. I die to these things. Paul said tell me he was unique. Or does this not apply to us. Who dare in this world to name the name of Jesus Christ. God manifest in the flesh. And what he said he requires of man.

Why call ye me Lord Lord. And do not the things that I say. Many will say to me in that day. Lord Lord have we not prophesied preached thy name cast out devils in thy name done many wonderful works. You were like professor to them.

I never knew you. I wonder how many preachers and those who have cast out devils in his name and done miracles in his name. He doesn't say no. They didn't happen. The devil would do anything even to a preacher.

Be careful. I never knew you. I never knew you. Why depart from me ye that work iniquity. You never repented. You just went on in your sin and became a preacher. And you cast out devils because of sensationalism.

Sensationalism draws 90 of the church miracles but repentance 90 of the professing church would run the day. You even named it from the pulpit. The old preachers used to say turn or burn. Today you say that they'll burn you fast.

Preacher by whom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world. Is that your testament is the world crucified unto you. Are you crucified unto the world. Or is the world still in your heart unto God.

Because after all he's the only one we have for and if you're not yet for God God forgive you. But you could sit under the preaching of this holy book and reject everything you knew though Christ died for you.

Keeping Oneself Pure Through the Word

In John 15 Jesus prayed. I pray not that thou would take them out of the world but that thou should keep them from the evil literally from the evil one and all he would have them do in its context. Deliver us from evil everything the devil would do neither be partakers of other men's sins is a very serious statement to Christians.

Keep thyself pure is a command that is very very very very fearful if you're not going to listen to God Christians 1 Timothy 5 22. Keep thyself pure whatsoever things are pure. I love that Old Testament.

80 of the New Testament is the Old Testament word perfect mostly only this side of Calvary the light of Calvary. Same as things in Tokyo. Keep thyself pure whatsoever things are pure. Philippians 4 verse 8.

If there be any virtue what does that mean. Any protection for you spiritually morally strengthening and building up your moral integrity literally is what the context is saying. If there's any strengthening morally in your integrity morally your moral integrity protection spiritually.

Think on these things whatsoever things are pure. If there be any virtue think on these things. What does that mean. Let your mind become absorbed by these things. Let your mind become absorbed disciplined to reject evil.

You can bringing every thought into obedience bringing every thought into captivity. You can do it. God wouldn't ask it of you. No I don't want that. Whatever evil thoughts whatever thoughts of evil come they're not evil thoughts.

They're thoughts of evil. You have to think on these things whatever will protect you morally spiritually strengthening and building you up in your moral integrity. Think on these things. Let your mind become absorbed with these things these pure things reject evil things of every avenue that could defile you and break down your walk with God.

I will set no wicked thing before me. Psalm 103. David cries back in New Zealand. The beginning of this year my wife and I were driving from city to town to town. Some of them are cities. We just finished in a very lovely convention and the man who arranged this conference now was driving me and my good wife through town after town to get to another part of the north island of the two south and north islands to preach in another conference.

So as we were driving through the towns there's one town he said the most strange thing he said this town. Something quite strange happened. There was a little lady in this town. We were driving through the town centre.

A little lady dressed well she wasn't poor. She wasn't a tramp. She wasn't a downcast outcast. She dressed like a lady refined. She had a beautiful home. She wasn't a guttural person. This little lady would walk through the town every single day for years.

What did she do. She had bags in the bags. She had little carry plastic bins and she went to every trash bin in the town. The rubbish bins right across the city. This town rather large and she would stand there.

People who didn't know her because they were outsiders would stand in shock amazement. What is this refined lady taking out of these dirt trash bins carefully selecting and putting them into categories and placing them eventually and then going to the next place where there was a trashy trash bin for people to throw their rubbish.

Ah well most people eventually just said we don't interfere. She's obviously a bit senile but there you are. When she died the police broke the door down because the neighbors people began to worry. She hadn't appeared for a while.

They smashed down the door in this lovely home beautiful and beautifully kept outside. But they were shocked. The entire house. She had shells right through that hole. She had stacked the rubbish the trash that she had collected carefully selected from the trash heaps that were right through the hole.

These were the things that she treasured she valued. She went out of her door in the morning to carefully select and find from the trash the rubbish heaps of the world. That was a shock to that whole town.

How many Christians do the same. Not with literal rubbish and trash but with the morally decadent trash rubbish of this world with DVDs literature CDs music. How many Christians do this daily. They go out to carefully take from the rubbish the trash the moral decadence and trash of this world.

Oh what have you deliberately and carefully gone out and selected while you name the name of Jesus to take back in your home from the rubbish the moral dirt and trash of this world. It will shock people if they were ever to find out what you took back from the world's moral trash carefully and took to your home preachers.

Would you be allowed back in the pulpit if anyone before you died was shocked by what you treasured what you valued. Would you be allowed back in the pulpit if people were to know what you've taken back in that home of yours from the moral trash of this world.

Oh a young man here in America I met years ago Jonathan Decino. Some of you might know him. His sister was the lady who wrote that tract of Kansas. He had Kansas and how she related to the cross. And people have spread that around much of the world that tract.

But this boy is really a fireball for God. Oh burning heart. He came to South Africa. He was in our home and many Christians and my word. He had an impact on our nation. He had an impact on our nation.

He was so courageous for God. What an amazingly godly young man. Jonathan Decino. He's over married into Romania now goes down the big tubes to go all these drug addicts all these broken lives. He's run away to give them the gospel and brings many to Christ.

But that's a full time service that they're trusting God to stay alive to go out and reach all these lost people because so many thousands have left home and no matter what happens to sin they won't go home and they're sleeping in the big drainage in their thousands.

And it's a full time ministry. But listen this Jonathan Decino was telling me and telling a youth group that was in my home I think years ago how he used to walk around with ear things all you know. And there was his little CD collection of godly music conservative and his godly father and mother.

And they thought he was listening to you know lovely music old hymns of our faith. He was listening to the heaviest metal this heavy metal about killing people killing yourself murder the worst of all music this boy had resorted and was listening in this godly home.

There was moral. There was indecency moral decadence. There was blasphemy righty against god and hatred and rebellion against authority. Parents beginning with parents even killing your parents. They said you know when I was young to be honest with you you were institutionalized if you did those things let alone sing and make millions.

Money can get away with anything this way. All the barriers have been thrown aside when it comes to money. Hollywood singers day and age of freedom of speech. You can be a devil worshipper so long as it makes money.

And you're famous. Oh he was there. You see. Tell me what music are you listening to. I'm talking about music that you know you. And morally decadent. What do you allow yourself to be conditioned to. You begin to love anything you allow and tolerate that you shouldn't be.

You go across the holy spirit warnings. What are you bringing from the world's trash heaps into your life that you choose. Why do you name the name of christ. This is the obnoxious part. What do you allow your mind to store from the trash heaps of the world.

Let alone bring physical things in. But you go out there and you get things here. What do you feed your mind. What do you feed. What do you feed your mind on the moral decadence of this world. Let alone the physical things you could bring in there.

Oh keep thyself pure. God says it's up to you. No you're saved. Otherwise god would say i'm going to keep you pure. You have nothing to do with it. Rubbish. Let's not say any word further than that rubbish.

Keep thyself pure. Open up your mind. Discipline your mind to reject anything that could define you or in any way hinder your pursuit with god. Whether it's the cinemas the books the literature the music the dvd the telephone and anything else going on in social media that defiles you.

That opens you up to moral filth. That satan's watching you. God's watching you. But it doesn't matter. If god's watching then he doesn't really matter. You know how much god matters to you is how much you just brazenly do.

What you know is evil though you know he's watching. It doesn't matter. No one's watching. Should i pick up this magazine that years ago they jailed you for pornography. Today it's on every stand to buy a loaf of bread.

Your children have to plead the blood of christ. Oh no one's watching. God's watching. But god doesn't matter. Why doesn't he matter. Feed your mind. What are you feeding your mind from the moral trash heaps of this world.

I will set no wicked thing before me. I won't keep thyself pure. What do you still hunger for the world. Do you still thirst to be with sinners where sinners go. Do you. There's only one reason. There's not two reasons.

If you're saved if you begin to hunger for evil again for wicked company for wicked places for wicked things to go into the devil's houses to feast from the devil's table with the devil's people from the things the devil holds out to satisfy his people.

You hunger and thirst. If you begin after you're saved to hunger and thirst for these things and go to these places and take up these things. And the devil gives to the devil's people. And you're saved.

There's one reason not two. You neglected this book you starved yourself and the food that would satisfy you otherwise you would never ever thirst for these things again or these places or these people.

You neglected feeding from the food that will strengthen you. As newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the word that you may grow thereby. This is how you grow when you're first saved. This is how you grow till the day you die.

It's the word of God that strengthens you that feeds you daily. I've come to regard thy word more than my necessary food. Why. Well you see when you're born and not born again all you are is a child of your father and mother.

You're not God's child. Nobody's born a child of God. You must be born again. Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. He'll never go to heaven. There has to be a spiritual birth. A baby can't do all you do as a baby is take the milk of your mother and you feed her ordinary food.

But the day you become God's child is a spiritual birth where you be born of God born of the spirit because of your obedience and your faith in the grace of God through Christ and the risen Christ to set you free.

If the son shall set you free you shall be free indeed. And if you are born again at that moment you have another food that you've never required to stay alive. You would die unless you had food that was there having a physical birth.

Now God tells you from that moment there's another food that you have to feed. That's important that's vital for you to grow for you to be strengthened by. For you will become weak and God knows what will happen to you.

Even morally. You can't starve yourself on the edge of the only food that would strengthen you. Wherewith also the young man cleanse his way by taking heed according to thy word. Thy word have I hid within my heart that I might not sin against thee.

It is sin will keep me from the Bible. But the Bible will keep me from sin. And there's no other way you can try a thousand ways. I guarantee you until you try this way you will never ever cease to think thus for the world and the devil's things again it will come with a vengeance.

If you starve yourself here you've got to get some food and you'll be amazed what you resort to to satisfy a starving heart and mind. Don't deprive yourself of this book. Man shall not live by bread alone by food anymore.

Once you're shaved it stops. But by every word that preceded out of the mouth of God you live by this. God says you come to regard this more than my necessary food. I've come to regard thy word more important more vital for my survival because this survival means more to me than physical survival.

Once you really want God there's only one reason you will ever thirst for the world again if you truly say beloved. Psalm 90 verse 8 speaks about secret sins. Oh secret sins. Proverbs 28 13 he that covereth shall not His sins that means a secret sins shall not prosper that means spiritually if not speaking about other things in this particular country but who so confesses and forsake has then shall have mercy now in Ezekiel Chapter 18 verse 28 God promises that he will restore any man woman or child who falls back into sin into this world and its follies, who goes back.
