Summary: When you put God first, you will suffer. Over all your friends, you got to fight the good fight of faith

Joshua 24: 14-18

If I had a chance to speak individually to every American, I would say to them. “You have a right to be Christ like.” Instead of withdrawing from the presents of God, we should be trying to continue, in the things of God. Make a conscious effort to try to stay in the word as much as possible: look for opportunities to go the right way; Jesus showed us which way to go. He showed us who to believe in.

Having neglected the truth of morality, our country is in and out of almost everything, but prayer and fasting. Oscillating back and forth concerning the will of God and the will of man to serve other gods has become obloquy, an abusive contradiction. We are becoming more and more like the Pharisees and Scribes. Dressing the outside with beauty and fame, multitudes of people have missed their Lord and savior.

It’s hard to serve the Lord, if he’s not the main focus; you want to be sincere. You want to break whatever is distracting you from keeping your focus by doing what you know are good for you. Serving the Lord is good for every one of us. In sincerity and in truth, God is Holy all the time. I have to admit that I’m not holy all the time; and you are not holy all the time. We pray for each other; we help each other, but God’s grace and mercy endures forever.

About the truth of the entire crisis that we face today, God is still on his thrown; and we must accept the plan that he gives to all those who call his name and find him. Excepting his plan means to realize all other plans have failed. If we plan on living with the Lord forever, we got to find him here before we go over there every where he is. The worst thing a man can do to himself is to leave this world without the lord. You can’t do anything more badly than that.

However, people are doing this every day. I know they don’t want to hear the truth, but there are some people who do. The truth is Jesus; the more of the truth we get in us; the truth is, we’re going upward. The same way he ascended; we will ascend likewise. There is power in Jesus to live in this world, and yet not be of this world. To get this power to be different from the world is to be sincere.

It’s a big job to be sincere; it’s a big job to be sincere when almost everybody else is insincere. Some people call Jesus for the wrong reasons; for the wrong reasons, some people start ministries; and they do prosper. Some people call Jesus not because they need him, but because they are looking for a way out of whatever they are in. I thank that’s a talent. If you have a talent, you should use it, but that don’t mean salvation is in your soul. Salvation comes from being sincere, when you call Jesus sincerely.

Appearance has nothing to do with salvation.

For the sins of the world, Jesus gives his life. It’s not a pretty picture when you have to die so Christ can live. Killing the powers of the flesh is a process; so we can live again, we must give back to God what belongs to him. What belongs to God is in the world, but it is not of the world. Killing the flesh of man is in the world, but it is not of the world. We kill what is pulling our heart away from God; by trusting Jesus, we let live whatever is drawing our heart closer to God by resisting temptation.

The world has already been deceived by living, but without God. The world is deceived by living apart from the life of God. Thinking tomorrow is promised, all most everybody has taken life for granted, but I say by truth of God in me, tomorrow is not promised to any man. Showing forth his pleasures in us, God wants the world to know the light of the world is alive and doing well.

Jesus is doing well. After pensive revelation, Jesus Christ declared on the third day that he would rise from the dead; and he did. At the photoperiod of life, he fought the good fight of faith, and before the light to gain full affects on growth and development, he endured daily exposure. Before Jesus Christ proved to be the central arena over death, he actually was God manifested in the flesh; and he was justified in the spirit.

As the war between good and evil prevailed known as spiritual warfare, some people refer too. Those who know the truth fight with truth, and are made free in heart against the sting of death. We are not trying to save our life in the flesh. That don’t mean to let the devil just take you out without a fight, but it means we fight with confidence that there’s a promise of a better tomorrow.

The truth that we have in our heart is not bound by the perception of the clean cups on the outside; they are among us, but we have the faith of Jesus living and abiding in us on our behalf. Thank you Holy Spirit for being a comforter when we needed you the most, during times like these, no one else can comfort us like you do. I’ve always preached that God can do anything but fail.

He can drive certain people out from among you; I know because he drove me out from among certain people; and I didn’t hinder them intentionally, but because they were watching me, they would have tried to do what I do. You can’t do what others do, because you are built to do your own thing for God; you have a heart; and it is different from anyone else.

People are going to be driven out from among you and your congregation, not because they did anything wrong, but because God don’t want them there; he wants them somewhere else. They can love the same God that you love, but it’s hard to get alone with them without a word being said. And if we are not spiritual, we might end up thinking the wrong things about these people.

As well as the unjustified, God rains on the justified. As the people of God get in the right place with God, they have nothing to fear but God. We are not suppose to sit up all night worrying about what somebody else is trying to do to us. God could be thinking about doing something to one of us that is really bad. When God wants to try the faith of Jesus in us, he doesn’t have a respect of persons, what he is doing is confronting the god that you have placed before him. He wants to see your turn against it.

At anytime, man has the ability to repent of his own sins. And because God is Holy, he will forgive whosoever only because he is a forgiven God. This is the only side of God that we have to get inside of him. To get inside of God is to go through Jesus. Jesus left part of his garment behind to let those that love him with all their heart, know, that you are covered with the resurrection of life, when you die a physical death.

Jesus proved his love with great signs and wonders everywhere he went among all the people through whom he passed. Yet, there were people who forsake him any way to serve other gods. You can serve man and all that is in his hand, or, you can serve Jesus and preserve your right to live with him forever.

After reading this sermon, so you can die, so he can live, if you feel a change of heart; and you’re thinking about giving your life to Jesus. Ask Jesus to forgive you of all your sins, than I want you to start confessing your sins. And most important, sometime you got to call him as fast as you can, and make this a part of your life. You will experience a supernatural everlasting blessing, if you faint not.

Thank you Sermon central More Love than Friends
