HELLO, WELCOME TO SEASON 8 OF THE BEING TOUCHED BY MERCY AND LIVING ON GRACE PODCAST.
WORSHIPPERS, CHILDREN, DISCIPLES, SERVANTS, AND FRIENDS: GOD CALLS US OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT TO SAVE US FROM EXPERIENCING THE WORST POSSIBLE THING WE SHOULD EVER FEAR, ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM HIM. HE CALLED US TO BE WORSHIPPERS, CHILDREN, DISCIPLES, SERVANTS, AND FRIENDS. HE WANTS US TO STOP WALKING AND LIVING IN DARKNESS. HE NO LONGER WANTS US TO BE HELD CAPTIVE BY THE POWER OF SIN. MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS CHRIST'S DEATH DECLARED AND DELIVERED YOUR FREEDOM, BUT THERE IS A PART YOU PARTAKE IN. YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT, BELIEVE, AND CONFESS. WHEN YOU CALL HIM YOUR LORD, SAVIOR, AND REDEEMER, HE WILL CALL YOU BY YOUR NEW NAME.!
INTRODUCTION: WILL THE REAL CHURCH OF GOD PLEASE STAND UP AND STAND OUT?
Ephesians 6:14- (AMP) So stand firm and hold your ground, having [a]tightened the wide band of truth (personal integrity, moral courage) around your waist and having put on the breastplate of righteousness (an upright heart).
Philippians 1:27-(NLT)- Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News.
I’m talking about the people of God who live out what they believe, you live according to the Truth of God’s Word and live by the holy standards of God. You are reading the bible, and attending church to seek a real change in your life. You give and serve out of gratitude and humility. You stand up for righteousness, you hate the things God hates, and you desire to do the will of God. Am I getting your attention yet?
Jesus has to be our Lord and Savior.
People of God we have been in the business of messing up God’s church for far too long. We are no different than the Egyptians, Pharisees, Sadducees, Assyrians, Hittites, and the non-believers. We may not be physically putting people in slavery or committing murders but we have enslaved a lot of people with these laws and regulations that have nothing to do with God’s free gift of salvation.
Do you really know why the church was even established? Do you what God expects from every church that is open in His name? Do you know what the needs are in your church/community?
Y’all the true church of Christ is the ones that God loves, the one that loves God, the one He died for. According to the Word Jesus is coming back for His Bride, this is not a building or denomination. Church in Greek means “a called-out assembly”- called out of the world, set apart by Jesus, (plural and single). Y'all show me in the Bible where Jesus called the building the church!
