shall be he's changing me my blessed Jesus I'm not the same person that I 20:17 used to be times it's slow going but there's a knowing that one day perfect I shall be we'll take a little high little by little and day by day 20:36 little by little in every way my Jesus is changing me since I've made a turn about face I've been growing in his grace my Jesus is 20:54 changing me he's Chang Ching me my precious Jesus I'm not the same person that I used to be sometimes it's 21:12 slow going but there's a knowing that one day like him I shall sing it again from the top little by little little by little and day by day little by 21:28 in every way my Jesus is changing me I turn about face I've been growing in his grace my Jesus is changing 21:47 me he's changing me my precious Jesus I'm not the same person that I used to be sometimes it's 22:02 slow going but there's a knowing that one day perfect I shall [Music] be we'd like us to learn a new song be new for almost all of you but it's a very old song um it's a really deep 22:22 songs I want us to just quickly look at the words you know there were many people in jesus' time who were praising him think of those who put their garments on the on the road they took the palm branches giving glory to him 22:34 but there were very few who followed him those same people many of those same people who were so excited to clap their hands and sing along and put the palm branches down when it came to following Jesus they didn't and they were the ones 22:47 that even some of them even crucified him and send him to the cross and it's the same today there are many who are very happy to sing about Jesus and Proclaim what he's done but when it comes to following him you find that 22:58 there's very few in the second verse they'll say that many people speak of walking in his footsteps but when it comes to actually obeying and doing the spirit's bidding when the Holy Spirit speaks to them in their heart they're 23:09 not able to find the way there are many shouts of acclamation verse three for the signs and wonders that Jesus can do and has done but when Jesus wants to teach them only few will follow on if you read the gospels carefully you'll 23:23 find that this was true over and over again there were crowds when there was food that was being multiplied di but when it came to following him there were only few yes they desire his gifts many people want to have gifts of the Holy 23:36 Spirit to do Mighty things which God does give through his grace but when it comes to dying with Jesus there will be very few that choose the way they'll even Rejoice over the victory that Jesus has won on Calvary and that is a 23:49 permanent Victory but when it comes to going with him outside the camp like we read in Hebrews 13 and dying with him and being Forsaken and receiving the reproach of men there very few that want that life there are very few faithful 24:03 few who follow him on the narrow way who Delight in his Commandments and will obey with willing hearts and these few are even rejected but they are his very own it's a precious life they're partakers of his suffering and they'll share a throne 24:19 with him this is the life this is the only way this is the most freeing way Joyful Way To Live the Christian Life like we'll sing in the chorus Jesus has opened this way through the veil his flesh and only few there will be who 24:31 will follow and to dying Will consent will you agree consent means agree will you agree to die with Jesus today oh you'll find Freedom you'll find that he'll set you free from the things of this Earth more and more and the 24:43 Christian life will be exciting I want this life I hope you do dear friends it's a very simple Melody so you can learn with us though though the Crowds Are praising Jesus giving Glory glory to God's lamb 25:00 look more closely and you'll notice there are few who follow him through the fleshed Christ Jesus went till the veil under only few there be who follow and 25:20 to dying will [Music] cons many people speak of walking in his footsteps here but they will not do the spirit fing thus they 25:37 canot find the way through the flesh Christ Jesus went till the veil of su R only few there be who follow and to dying Will consent hear the shout of 25:59 acclamation for the signs and wers done but when Jesus wants to teach them only few will fall on through the flesh Christ Jesus went till the ve 26:18 under only few there be who follow and to dying well consent yes his gifts they hold desire which in Grace he does 26:35 bestow but the day he speaks of dying you will choose this way to go through the flesh Christ Jesus went till the veil under only few there be who follow and 26:55 to die Will consent they Rejoice or Jesus Victory which on calary won but the camp they not abandon 27:11 for reproach of men they sh through the flesh Christ Jesus went till the veil of only few there be who follow and to die will consent see the faithful few who follow 27:35 H this way and narrow way they Delight in his Commandments and with whing heartsy through the flesh Christ Jesus went till the veil 27:52 of only few there be who follow and to die well cons see the few are now rejected yet they are his very own 28:09 they're partakers of his sufferings soon they'll share with him the throne through the flesh Christ Jesus went till the ve under R only few there be who follow 28:28 and to ding will [Music] conent indeed and Jesus promises to be with us even until the end of the age on the base of this he says Go Make Disciples of all people All Nations help us Lord we thank you that you're with us 28:47 fear not I am with thee bless Golden Rain like a star of Glory Glory lighing up my 29:01 way
