Welcome to Christian Revival Church with Pastor Advosal. This message serves to lift the name of Jesus. Bring revival to every believer. For more information on CRC, visit CRCChurch.com. Now let's tune into this week's message. - I'm gonna talk to you about God's love, the greatest revelation any human being can have. As our theme is invasion, the second wave of love, the greatest invasion that can take place in your life is not an invasion of expanding your business, not even us taking more territory for God. It is an understanding of God's love for us. And I have counseled hundreds of thousands of people. And one of the most difficult things for people to really grasp and understand and comprehend is the love that God has for them, why? Of course we grow up in a world where we are limited. We are loved a certain way. And we begin to relate to God the way people deal with us. So we wanna go to the Bible. And this is one of the greatest revelations that Paul brings to the New Testament. The love that God has for you. I know it's easy to tell people God loves you and to say God loves the world. But what about God loves me? Jesus died for me. I am a son of God. And you, the ladies, you're a daughter of God. I'm not gonna say I'm a son and a daughter of God. I'm a son of God. I need to be secure in this relationship with God because everything stems from that. Let's flewy, Fanny of Rodin, Mediera. Debelled, Fanny of God. If you don't have the right image of God, then you will have the wrong image of people. You will have the wrong image of yourself. You can be saved and yet lived in secure. And I mean, this week I sat with somebody. And when I say this, I'm not exposing people 'cause you don't know who I'm talking about, but I counsel people all the time. And it keeps me in touch with hurt and pain and need. And this man built a pre-room in his house. But he's too embarrassed to go to his pre-room. Saved, washed. But the guilt of yesterday is plaguing him and stopping him from going to the pre-room that he built. I said to him, we need to change the picture. You need to see who God is. You need to see how God loves you. You need to understand what Jesus did for you on the cross two thousand years ago. Because my friend, you cannot earn God's love. You do not deserve God's love. God loves you unconditionally. God loves you in spite of you. And yet God loves you because of you. That you are special to God, you know? When you look at your child, when you look at your child, you just fall in love with that child. When my first child jumped out of Narekna's womb, I fell in love that she deserved no. Did I know her? No. But the minute that 2.7 kilogram little pink baby, and she was beautiful to me in any case. I fell in love with her. I fell in love with Sinnel when she came out. Look, Sinnel was perfect. She was 3.4 kilograms. Like some of you are just perfect. She was born perfect and it was easy to love. David, when he came out, it was like Jesus help us. 'Cause he looked like a little boxer. He said, it was swollen. The court was around, he was blue. And by the way, in those days, not like the fancy doctors today with these sonas. In that day, they did sonas. And ends link was supposed to be a boy. And we prepared the baby room, a blue and green. And we went for the son of three times. And two weeks before the time I said to Narek, that's not a boy, it's a girl. She said, after you said to God, told me. And then David, there's a reason I'm saying that. David was supposed to be a girl, according to the sonar. And then God worked me up again two weeks before the time. And said to me, it's a boy. I said to Narek, it's a boy. She said, how do you know? I said, God, told me. So guess what I was looking for when he came out of that room? I didn't care how bruised he was, how swollen he was. I was looking for one thing. That was, I was looking for his son, Hallelujah. So I tell you when God looks at you. He looks at you as perfect. He looks at you with love. He looks with you as acceptance. God loves you. God loves you. God loves you. You know, I've got so many grandchildren now. We had a party yesterday. It's like every Saturday, I've got another birthday celebration for another grandchild. And I say to them, why can't you just have one party for everybody? And I can also have a life. But you see those little things. And some of them are naughty. Those boys, Marcus, just like him, naughty. But I love them two birds. I don't care how stained they get when they play. I don't care how muddy they are. I don't care how bruised they are. They can come and sit on my lap with their wit, with their obterty. It doesn't matter. You know, why? Because they are my children. They are my grandchildren. I am their baby. I am their big boss in the name of Jesus. I mean, so I love, so the Bible says, if we love with that imperfect love, our children. And we do not will evil on our children. How much more your father who is in love? How much does he love you? And yet we struggle with that because of our experiences. Maybe you were abandoned as a child, rejected, molested by an earthly man. You call a father. That's why we have to reestablish the fatherhood of God. Who is your father? Because your mother's womb was your gateway into this world. Your father had a part to play. Thank God for that. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here. But you hail from God. You come from God. You are born from God. You are loved by God. And you're accepted by God. And I want to start by saying to you that this morning, Christian, child of God. God, your father loves you. He loves you. He loves you. He loves you. Come on, stand to your feet and give the Lord a praise for the love that He has for you. I mean, you had a baby now recently, right? Daniel. And I fell in love. It's not the DJ at 12 o'clock at night. It's the dad that's nervous waiting for that baby to come. Amen. And they're not all perfect. I looked at some of my grandkids I have to be honest. I thought, where do you come from? You must be the other side of the blood. But then we confessed so much over them that we came. Amen. And if ever they do anything wrong, I say to you, there's a glasses of blue dye. Listen what I'm saying. Because you're going to do things wrong and that's your human blood. And then there's the boss, I mean, there's the Christ blood. There's the Jesus blood. There's the blood that washed you. There's the blood that cleans you. There's the blood that made you righteous, made you a child of the loving God, hallelujah. Come on. So I want to talk about this love today and the title of the message, I don't know if I'm going to get his perfect love casts out all fear. I want to talk to you about God loving you. You can never love inwardly until you experience the love God asks for you. You can never love God back until you first encounter the love of God. Because that is works. And you can never love outwardly until you love yourself. Because you can only love people the way you love yourself. And the reason why so many people are harsh and judgmental on other people is because they're hard and judgmental on themselves. They have an assorted image of God. They have the wrong picture of who God is. God doesn't have love, God is love. And every encounter that you will have with God is love. He is a love that he's stern, a love that will refine you, a love that will purify you, a love that will heal you, a love that will break the power of sin, a love that will sit you down and discipline you when discipline is required. But it is a love that will never break you. It is a love that will build you. It is a love that will restore you. It is a love that will lift you because that is in Jesus Christ is the gift to the love. He doesn't leave you where he finds you. He lifts you to a higher place in the name of Jesus. Shut Amen. So one John chapter 4 verse 7 of the Bible says, beloved, beloved, a smile. Let us love one another for love is of God and everyone who loves is born of God. And those God, he who does not love does not know God for God is love. In this the love of God was manifest to do orders that God has sent his only begone and sending to the world that we might live through him. In this is love. Listen, not that we love God. I tried that for years. I tried to keep the 10 commandments that we should. But you are not justified by those 10 commandments. I used to go to church and every time those compartments were red, I thought kill, take, kill, take, kill, take, kill, take, kill, and till I stopped going because nobody ever told me, you can't change yourself, you cannot save yourself, you cannot work your way to the place of righteousness, you can accept what Jesus did for you. He says in this is not love, not that we love God, I don't care how good you were, but that He loved us and He sent His Son to be the prepared patient, the mediator, the go between, for our sins, we love it if God so loved us, we also love one another, no one has seen God at any time, if we love one another, God abides in us and His love has been matured or perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us because He has given us His Spirit, now what happens when the Holy Spirit comes is not just speaking in tongues, it is you become a love bug, you become a hug bug, you become a magnet for people to experience the love of God, because the Bible says in Romans 5 is 5, the love of God is shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit invades your life, it is the love of God that invades your life, you can say many Jesus name. We have seen a testify that the Father has sent His Son to save you to the world, we have confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in Him and He in God. And we have no one, listen no one, rhyme or revelation, no, and believe the love that God has for us, God is love and He abides in love, abides in God and God in Him. Love has been perfected among us in this or matured, mature people understand this, that we might have boldness, no fear in the day of judgment, because as He is, so are we now in this world, Hallelujah, as He is, so are we. He made Him to be Son who knew no Son, that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, you are righteous, not by the virtue of your works, you are righteous by virtue of the blood of Jesus Christ that you were washed and you are sanctified and you are established in righteousness, that means right standing with God. So when you understand that God loves you and you are in right standing with God, you have boldness toward God. Sometimes when I go to people just before they die, they want to go through a whole confession list and I say, have you asked Jesus to forgive you, they say, yes, but these things are bothering me. If we confess our sin is faithful and just to forgive us, had to cleanse us from under righteousness. Listen to me this morning, you are righteous today as you ever will be, because of His sacrifice. Your works of righteousness are as filthy rags. So somehow in our minds we have a performance mindset, because maybe our parents told us, if you do this, I am going to buy you a watch. If you don't do this, I am going to do this for you, etc. And that's performance driven love. God's love is exactly opposite, it is unconditional. He loved you while you were a sinner. He loved you while you were the furthest away from Him. Now you are the Son of God and you are the daughter of God and there is nothing that you get to do that will make your heavenly Father stop loving you. So stop having the thoughts in your mind that if you are good enough God loves you and if you are not good God loves you list and if you are bad God really doesn't love you. That's a matter of fact, in each of those who are the lowest that should experience and encounter the love of God, like the prodigal son when he came home, what happened? The Father waited for him, the Father ran to him, the Father embraced him, he came as a slave, he came bound, he came lost, he came empty. He said he came looking for mercy, but he found a father that ran to him, a father that put a robe of righteousness upon him, a father that put a ring, a covenant ring upon him, you are still my son, a father who put sandals on his feet. That means you are a child of God, because slaves walk barefoot, so I don't know what we are going to do with these African grandkids, they don't know about shoes, so we are going to have to get them into sonship. Bible says, listen, there is no fear in love, my kids never crawl to me in fear, no matter what they do, I said you can come to me anytime, I'm here for you, never reject to them, never turn my back on them, and will they perfect, pretty close. But did they mess up sometimes? Yes, and out of the right response, as a dad loving, as a dad sending them down at times and saying, this I will not allow because it's going to destroy you, I will not tolerate this because I love you, but I'm committed to you, you are my son, I will never turn my back on you, I will rescue you, I will not rescue you, I will break that influence over your life, but you will serve God because you are a child of God in the name of Jesus Christ, so there is no fear in love, but perfect love costs out fear, because fear involves storming. You fear, there's not been perfect in love, we love him, because he first loved us, hallelujah, that's why you're in church this morning, Jesus won my heart, come on man, I was lost, now I say I was blind, now I was lost, I'm found, I was blind, now I say, that's why you are young this morning, not because you have to serve God, you want to serve God in the name of Jesus Christ, because your heart belongs to God, he's your father, you're not a slave, the Bible says you've not received the spirit of bondage against fear, but the spirit of adoption whereby you cry, ever father, he's your daddy, he's your dadah, he's your papa, what your colleagues will say, that he's a very intimate word, he's not this God of thee, God with a knopkiri, hey, as your papa, hey, as your dadah, hey, as your what your colleagues, you'll pardon them and you'll continue. David is 34 years old, he still calls me dadah, my daughter's daddy, now when they say dad, then I know, okay, what's coming here, but it's like daddy, I'm sure when I'm 85 years old, still strong, climbing a mountain, and they are now 60, are you going to come though daddy? It's not like we mature, you know, walk with God and suddenly it's like our praise becomes so mature, you listen to believers out, as they grow, they go from that ever, thankfully, all my kids, the first words they said I told them, all I did was say da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da, so the first words they said was da da da da da, say da da da da, do you see, dad, first words, but we go from daddy to child like faith, to maturity, almost gracious heavenly father, imagine my children talk to me, and some people too on planet earth, look at my family, what's your mother, father, mother, mother, mother, No, I respected it, but as a belief man, that is a Kent. Blake Kanderlick and your glue, Blake Kanderlick and your brother Yerah. Blake Kent, for God's sake, even if you are the biggest director, the biggest CEO, when you walk into the presence of God, you come there as a child and you call him father. You call him dead, a ever father. You have the spirit of adoption. You are not a slave to sin any longer. You are not a slave to your past any longer. You have received a spirit of sonship. That means you have access to the throne room of God, because you are a child of God. You can come boldly, no matter what you can make yourself way into the presence of God. And every time he's like that, father, ever, God says, yes, my child, I'm here for you, my child. I'm here to love you, I'm here to love you, I'm here to heal you. I'm here to restore you, never will God turn his back on you, never will they be something in this world that can separate you from the love of God and your people, living this world and they feel they've disappointed, they father, no, you have not. You cannot disappoint God, God loves you with your flaws and your failures and all your perfections, God loves you, God loves you with an unconditional love, God loves you with a love that human beings cannot comprehend. God loves you with a love that goes beyond human understanding and human reason, because God is love, not God is love, not God loves at times. God is love, God is merciful, God is faithful, God is loving. And that's who God is, he cannot deny himself, that was his even if we are unfaithful, he remains faithful because he cannot deny himself, he cannot deny himself, he cannot stop being love. He is, Mary will be, Mary was, he is. love. Someone says I love God. He's brother. He's 20. He's a liar. For you does not love his brother. Who may have seen? How can he love God? Who may have not seen? And this commandment we have from him that you love God must love his brother. Now listen. Listen. You don't choose your brother. You don't choose your family. Chanel didn't choose David. David didn't choose Angelic. And the return I chose them. So they come along. One, two, three. Then you have to get on with it. You don't say that's not a brother. That's not a sister. You don't necessarily own your family like some people doing this world. You're brother. That you have a melee. He can sit in another church. He's your brother. He may not speak in tongues. He's a brother. If you called on the name of Jesus Christ, he's a brother. She's a sister. You may not agree with everything. But they are your brothers and your sisters and you are commanded by the Word of God to love them. To love them as God loves you. Full stop. Not open-ended conversation. You love God must love his brother and you don't choose your brother. I grew up in a home with Ford. My brother and I fought a lot. As a matter of fact, one of the biggest fights we ever had when we both were not in a great state led to my salvation because it wasn't a good day and I thought there was going to be payback and he got saved and I unfortunately did something that caused him to learn in hospital and I thought my word now don't have feeling for anybody and you're my brother two weeks old to that goes to a church and he changes and I'm waiting for you know there is the coming out of that year. I know you were all good boys but I wasn't a quiet boy when I got saved. Okay I'm still a work in progress. But I was waiting for payback. I was waiting for you know somewhere he's gonna hit me over here when I'm sleeping. He was naughty when I was drunk and I was snoring he hit me. I didn't know that I woke up the next morning with my ribs like yeah you're part of it. Yeah you're part. And wake up the next morning you're like but I'm in as out of this world okay. But what changed me? What changed me? Because when I deserved payback you got saved and suddenly he comes back and say you're gonna make your eyes out. Suddenly he's nice. Suddenly he's friendly. He smiles. He's different. He talks about God. I mean, we want to talk about God. We didn't talk about God. We talk about Daha. God. Don't talk to me about God. I went to church. I grew up in the church. I guess Anakani and Furkestel. I get my vein licensee. I make a question by name but not by action. Because action means my nature change and reflects the nature of God in me. Which is love? Love. So when you encounter people they should encounter love. When you reach out to people they should encounter love. Love personified in what acceptance. No notice me see me. Love me. The greatest need of humanity is to be accepted to be loved. That's why the rejection of a child is so bad. People that were rejected by the parents struggle without throughout the adult life because my daddy rejected me. But mommy rejected me. They take that into their marriages. That's why we have to reestablish the identity of who you truly are. Because your identity stems from who God says you are. Not what your father said about you. Not what a great two-teacher said about you. But what God said to you, that God loves you and God affirms you and God adopts you and you are born into God's family. There's no place you're gonna go where you will not find the love of God in Jesus' name. Oh, maybe your grandfather wrote you out of his will. But I want to tell you who were written into the will of God by the blood of Jesus. And that means you have an inheritance as a son, as a daughter of the living God. I'm gonna say it again. You are a son. You are a daughter of the living God. And that means you have an inheritance. You are forgiven. You are accepted. You are washed. You are loved. You are justified. You have authority. The promises of God are you naming. You're not fighting for your inheritance. You are living from the place of the inheritance that you have in Christ Jesus adopted into the family of God as sons and daughters. We are not tolerated as slaves. We have been adopted into the family of God. Hallelujah. The Gentiles, you and me, adopted by the Spirit of God into the family of God. God is my father. That is the greatest revelation Jesus brought to this world. When people pray to Elohim, yes he is. When people pray to Jehovah, yes he is that. But Jesus is more than just your God. He's your father from this day. You pray our father who art in heaven. Hello, it be thy name. Now you come before God as a child because you have a covenant with God. Because God loved you so much. He sent his son to be a preparation, to be a mediator, to be your Savior. Therefore you can stand justified by the love of God, by the grace of God who art in the blood of Jesus Christ full as you were washed. You were sanctified. You are no longer a slave. You're a son of God in Jesus' name. Come on. Oh, come on sons and daughters of God. Give him a moment of praise in this place. Hallelujah. [MUSIC PLAYING] I mean, this is huge. This is actually everything. With the Bible says faith works by love. So if we're not established in love, we always doubt God's intent towards us. The Bible says James 1 was 17. Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of Christ with whom there's no variability or shed of turning. Now we as human beings, unfortunately, one day you like this, the next day you like that. So if you more like this to your child, your child has confidence to approach you. But if you, one of those people that come back from work by foot art, your child's going to start staying away from you. Now, matter how tired you are, that little boy comes running to you, get to his level. You hug him for two minutes. So Daddy loves you. I just need some time to work through something. Never a jet. Sometimes I've heard people pray say, Lord, if you have time to spare. I mean, what do you mean if you have time to spare? God, if you've got some change up there, bless my business. He did more than-- he's got more than a little change. He owns the cattle in 1,000 eels. There's some of the goldies. He's your father. That's why when you understand that, your prayer is bold. There's no condemnation. There's no fear. Ephesians, three bull prays that Christ may dwell on your hearts through faith. That you may be rooted and grounded in the love of God. May be able to comprehend, understand, have the revelation of all the saints, not by yourself, your private revelation. What is the width, the length, the depth, the height? To know the love of God, which passes knowledge, human understanding. That you may be filled with a fullness of God. So until we don't have that understanding, you can talk in tongues and be as mean as a devil. But when you're having an understanding of God's love, what will come out of you is the fullness of God. God personified. Jude, the Apostle who wrote this short, this book, but it's a very strong book, you need to go read it. Verse 21 says, "Keep yourself in the love of God." So we have to become rooted and grounded in God's love. We need to know and understand and believe. God's love that He has for us as, listen, sons and daughters, not Christians, sons and daughters. The greatest revelation you can have is a Christian, He's God's unconditional love for you. Until we are not rooted, listen, root it and ground it in the love of God, the love God has for us. The storms of life will always shake us. Your actions will determine the level of your relationship with God. No. Your relationship is established by who? The death, the burial and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. You are a child of God. Maybe you're a naughty child and we are going to help you get rid of your naughtiness. Maybe you're backslidden. We are going to get you back to God. But we're going to do that with God's love and God's grace and God's mercy. Come on, church, say, hey, man, in Jesus' name. So until we don't receive this love of God, we will never be able to love upward, inward, and outward. You'll never walk free from sin because love the power of God to break sin in your life. And then we make this clear policy for that. That Jesus did not come to manage your sin. He came to save you from sin, right? Because sin will leave you empty and sin will leave you worthless. So God warns against sin because it destroys you. It's an act of love. It's not an act of punishment. He knows that sin will destroy you. sin will make you feel worthless. Like the man that doesn't want to visit his spray room. He feels worthless. Now I have to restore his worthless, or his worthiness in the identity of Christ. If you don't have an understanding of God's love, you will never receive healing for your broken heart. And that's what Jesus came to do. He came to heal broken hearts. You know, sin is the symptom of a broken heart. That's why the gospel comes to bring salvation. Then he heals you inside out. He doesn't come and fix the fruit. He deals with a root. So people do things that is as a result of something that happened in their lives. And there's no justification for it. But if we don't understand people, we become very legalistic and very, very, very unsuccessful in actually helping humanity. I mean, looking at the statistics in South Africa, we are third of our young boys are being molested, a third against the will, not just women, a molested sexually, a third of our men in this country are being sodomized at a young age. And they carry that hurt and that pain. And very often what happens to that person at a young age, that girl, there was raped or abused, or during a certain time taken by a boy to prove that he is sexually mature and he can't perform. He just takes that woman objectifies her, possesses her. She suddenly changes. Not that she wants to, but a door is open. Now that woman is promiscuous through a teenage years, through a student years. That boy becomes promiscuous. Not because of what he did wrong, but because of something somebody else did wrong to him. Now we have to come not in judgment. We have to come understanding and say to him, it wasn't your fault. God loves you. God cares about you. Let's get you whole. Let's get you whole. Let the love of Jesus come and heal your broken heart. Then sin loses its power because the love of God is the remedy for sinning Jesus. Name amen. God bless you. Television audience. God loved you. May a wave of God's love come over you in the name of Jesus. Amen. Come on. Hallelujah. You don't see Jesus going around putting people down that woman with five men. He didn't justify it. She had five husbands. She lived with a man that was not a husband. He didn't judge her. He pointed out to her healing. I am what you are looking for. Bring another man to make you feel secure. Beautiful. Need to be rooted in God's love. There are many women in our world that have a daddy complex because daddy never loved him. So some old almost I said fool but I won't. In the workplace sees potentially that young woman grooms her and actually becomes like a daddy now in Africa we call it sugar daddy because he talks to what her need her hurt and he entrapped her without realizing it because she's broken. If I don't understand this we didn't understand the gospel. She didn't come to deal with symptoms. He came to fix broken people. He came to save people. Save them. Save them. Heal them. Set them free. Lift them up. The guy. My generation so many people of my generation struggle with anger because nobody ever acknowledged be STT whatever you say. I don't even know what that would be. Post-traumatic stress disorder when we had many tourists like the Americans say they went to Vietnam we went to Angola but nobody ever gave us the time of day to come back and we they just split you in a demobilization area and there was and then you were all back into civilization you have to get on with it. Well a lot of those people of my generation some maybe your fathers that you don't understand are struggling with alcohol anger because of that era that they were placed in an unnatural environment where they saw death killed people the things they didn't want to do but they were exposed to it. Now they have to numb that. Drinking. I'm not saying drinking is right. I'm saying I have to understand what is causing that and deal with that hurt and deal with the root and break it by the power of the Holy Ghost come on say I made and that is to first kill that person. Lesson God loves you as you are. Now you have to repent means turn to God open your heart to God allow Jesus to take his rightful place don't self-medicate with cocaine don't self-medicate with with trying to acquire more positions don't self-medicate with alcohol or with sexual promiscuity because those things will take you further away and kill you more. That's the conversation Jesus has with the women at the well of Samaria he doesn't point out his son she acts religious so he pulls her card and he said whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa you bad five mean the one you live with is not your man but let's not talk about that what you're looking for girl you never found it in a relationship what you're looking for you're looking for the gift of God you drink of that water you will thirst again more money you will thirst again another relationship you will thirst again but when you drink of the living waters when you drink of the man the the river of heaven you will never thirst again and sin will lose its power shout amen in the name of Jesus hallelujah I mean what the law could not do God did by singing son and condemned son and destroyed the power of sin so should that Christians sin no do Christians sin yes what is the remedy getting them rooted and grounded in the love of God and that will break the power and the hold of sin because oftentimes the cycle of guilt takes you to the thing that you're running away from that's why you need to be saved I've got extra blood said three neckers just don't have blood say yes you have a squirm my so we will never enter God's presence without this understanding I believe the next revival please listen to me evangelists not just you fast as the next revival to sweep the earth will be rooted in the love of God it will be a wave of God's love that covers the earth as the waters cover the sea in the name of Jesus Christ and I prophesized sin as are gonna come to salvation because they can experience a God of love not a God of judgment murderers are gonna come to Christ the polls are gonna come to Christ the beat is gonna come to Christ the Moses is are gonna come to Christ the worst sin is are gonna come to Christ the drug dealers are gonna come to Christ the prostitutes are gonna come to Christ the backside is are gonna come home the prodigal's are gonna come home that's why our churches have to be an oasis of love where everybody is welcome everybody is received come as you are in the name of Jesus Christ you can be rich you can be poor you can be black you can be white you can be sinful you can be sinless he doesn't matter come into the presence of God and let the love of God wash over our church and over our nation in the name of Jesus Christ Hallelujah we are gonna see a manifestation of God's love around the world as we have never seen that and the enemy knows that South Africa get ready for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit and I want to say the Holy Spirit not the way we spoke about before yes they will be science and wonders but the greatest sign is when we love those that make cannot love naturally we need an outpouring of God's love you can say me so stop being mad with your brother stop being mad with your natural bloodline sister can make right man sometimes the things down yeah we are so caught up with the nonsense petty issues yeah that we forget what's waiting up there you get a thing that you go sit in a corner and now you're mad with the rest of your family and if you died now what what's gonna happen huh yeah but they don't deserve my forgiveness well you never deserve God's forgiveness as well that's why God's is when you stand praying forgive as your father forgave you you don't earn it I don't care perfect you are every day you need God's forgiveness yeah you would my suicide look you were on a vexed in girettir trot this is a sonda you what were it this is a sonda you have a scandal as a sonda you have a finger vice as a sonda It's easy to go look at somebody else, go look at yourself man, go take a look. Let's take your life for the last 60 years or 80 years or 100 years or you old you all 20 years. Let's look at every day how perfect you are. Let's make a movie of the thoughts in your mind because that's where God looks. He sees that all. That's why we can have confidence because we can stand before him, him without fear. Having an honest relationship you know my kids always as they grew up they said because we also had family discussions and then they tell me how imperfect I am. I've never had that discussion with God because we would have them say okay right down what your mom and I am doing wrong my word then they would start one two three I say that's enough now three is enough that's enough. I think you should all pack your bags and go live somewhere else now I get personal you see you should pack your bags and go live somewhere else because there's a thousand kids in our church that we'd like to live in this house where you are but I listen to those three things and it's always the same three things daddy you're not spending enough time with us true what else was it so you as a parent or not even perfect as a child you are not perfect but God is perfect and his love is perfect and people will fail you and people will disappoint you but God will not people will forsake you David say it even with my father and my mother for sex me the Lord will take me because he's established in the understanding that I have a father you have a father you have a God who loves you so much they died for you I think the older and more mature we become we think it is the center that needs that message oh no no no no no no look at the story of the two sons the prodigal and the older brother who was the true lost brother actually wasn't even the prodigal because he came to his senses was the older brother when the younger brother came home the older brother stood outside and said what is all this joy and happiness about is it your brother is home my brother my brother wasn't happy the father has to go out to him and the father says to him come join the feast he says why should I I have been righteous I have served you he's a son but with a slave mentality religious and religious works that's why we have to go beyond religious understanding to relational understanding this is but this your son like I did that in our marriage when the kids were not you are sitting right to your children when they were perfect my children come on man you know what I'm talking about because those naughty genes are not my genes oh wow yes okay man they used to be but now they are not okay but nice is this your son suddenly these brothers not worthy of his father's love and mercy and acceptance let me say this to each and every one of us our brothers and our sisters out there they're all back slanted our brothers and our sisters that have become prodigals out there we need to go love them back to God that older brother should have gone looking for his younger brother but he didn't he sat on his spiritual high horse and he was not happy that the father favoured the youngest son and put a robe in a ring and sandals he couldn't handle it because he had a distorted image of who his father was and his father said you but you've lived with me everything I have is yours in any case you've enjoyed this this is yours you don't deserve it you don't earn it it's not because you work hard it's not because you pray long it's not because you don't or you do it is because God is God he cannot deny himself he loves you and I'll say this again I have to go to Janice book but we counsel people and a 90 of the which think 5% of counseling goes back to people established in the identity and in the love of the God has for them and when things happen they think they have to work for love so they get married they have to work for the husbands approval work for the wife's approval and it's this vicious cycle that is like an endless but that can never be filled you cannot do enough you cannot be right enough should you be righteous yes Romans 5 and Romans 6 is clear about that but all your rightness is not why God loves you God loves you because he came through the womb the birth canal you were born into his family you are he's people speak as if today you can be saved and tomorrow you're not saved I don't know about that we can debate that theologically so when that political son left his father's house was you no longer a son he was a son the father waited for him to come back every day he didn't write him out of his will then write him off so so all you have to do is get back to him just close your eyes close your eyes just feel his love just feel his presence right now and just repeat this prayer after me say Heavenly Father thank you for sending Jesus Christ your one and only son to die on the cross for all of my sins today I believe that Jesus rose of the third day and right now I invite you Jesus to come and live inside of my heart I ask you to forgive me of all of my sins and to cleanse me clean thank you that from today I am a new creation thank you then my past is forgotten and that from today I will start focusing on the greater things that you have for me thank you Jesus for loving me thank you Jesus for saving me in Jesus name and all God's people says amen and amen if you just set the prayer in the end we want to celebrate this miracle with you also if you're interested in visiting one of our many churches across the country visit our website at crcchurch.com bye for now
