the prayers I prayed some years ago was I said Lord I read in scripture in Revelation chapter 5 that they sing about the blood of Christ in heaven did you know that they sing about the blood of Jesus

clearly outlined in scripture and in fact it calls it a great mystery we learned this on friday night that there are only two times that great mystery is spoken of in the scriptures and one of them is in relation to this

love power and discipline right always remember the preparation right that god has given us this like you know how many times you read in the scripture like i lavished my grace upon you like my grace is sufficient for you right and

before. And that is you go before God and say, "Lord, brother Santos showed me from scripture, but now you got to make it personal. You got to seal this in my heart. You got to open the eyes of my heart to see that anchor cast that hope

well. There's no foundation other than Jesus Christ. And on this foundation we build our life in the church. Yes, that is correct. But we must compare scripture with scripture. The balance of scripture, you know, like two legs we stand on. Don't try and

will go well with you spiritually. The first reason is God said you should in Hebrews 13:17. So that ought to be enough. Um there are many New Testament scriptures that speak against divorce and remarage. I generally don't speak

to correct people who have that wrong teaching Romans chapter eight turn with me too it's always good to see a verse in Scripture as the authority Romans chapter 8 and verse 9 Romans chapter 8

and that path took me on a a path of worldly wisdom and then i recognize from the scriptures that there's a difference between worldly wisdom and wisdom that's from above and this verse describes what wisdom from above really is

that because of my sins that's where i should be and so i i and having that reality the as i serve the lord over the years it's easy to kind of forget where you came from in fact scripture in several places reminding us hey don't forget about that

Josh you need to be a better listener and it's sad to me that the world gets this more than Christianity gets this and so I want to show you in scripture all right look at complete this phrase for me he who has ears to hear yeah let him hear everybody knew it

even doing a good thing. I I didn't realize that because I didn't know my Bible. And then one day, a pastor pointed out what a dead work is, and I was like, "Oh, that's consistent with the rest of scripture. Now I get it. I don't want to

and he saw and believed and so they saw this empty tomb verse eight verse nine john 20 verse nine for as yet they did not understand the scripture that he must rise again from the dead and even mary didn't understand she didn't intellectually

scripture there's different emphasis of what he means by by being ready it's not just being ready for his return although we always want to you know be in a state of like Lord you could come back right now and I'm ready to drop everything and

how I kind of feel this morning is like I've made so many mistakes and so some of these things may seem uh May challenge you you may may may have not thought that way or not seen the scriptures in that way but I would encourage you um you know just

him also will be like that so it's always good good to go and check in the scripture what is that relationship that I can have and there are many many uh I think God's word is so beautiful it explains the relationship that we can

this but the scriptures are really what challenged me Jesus used this phrase and again it's recorded in scripture uh 16 times and we went through that last time but I believe Jesus said it hundreds maybe thousands of times you know when

immersed in the Holy Spirit. Can you all tell me many of you have read the New Testament when did the disciples disciples of Jesus when did they receive the Holy Spirit? Tell me if you know the scriptures if

divorce so in the same way sometimes people take scripture and misquote it but god said to the pharisees how was it originally god did not make two women for adam only one so

wine and then one day that Authority who really irritated you because he was always telling you what what to do suddenly he gets drunk and passes out naked in his tent True Story I mean I think it's in scripture how do you

torn out my dear friends read your bible that way like a few pages have been torn out of your bible and you realize lord i i haven't read this scripture with the seriousness like it's money spiritual wealth that you want me to have and for years

follow me as I follow Christ and that is our calling also think what Jesus said in Matthew chapter 5 you know there are verses in Scripture which we don't take seriously Matthew chapter 5 let me read you just

living a life of fear and worry and so we go to the scriptures and we say Okay Lord um how you give me a commandment don't be anxious how and I think these three verses tell us how and one thing I want to say very quickly I grew up with uh

richer inheritance that they have in Christ they don't read the scriptures carefully the inheritance that God's bought for you is here in this book and when I look at the spiritual poverty of so many Christians it's to me it's like

Thank you, brother David for taking us through the scriptures which are very important reminders. On the subject of finding God's will and the way Jesus walked I think David showed so many verses.
