You know, I always get approached every morning before service, you know, what's your title?
And well, of course, it's Father's Day. Happy Father's Day.
Do we got any dads in the house?
Okay.
Yeah, whole bucket full. Yeah.
But so I didn't know what to entitle this.
I could throw in a Father thing, but the thing that's probably overwhelming is an impossible command.
And you think, you look at God's Word and you look at God's law.
And obviously, you don't have to look at the Ten Commandments very long to realize how terribly short we fall of God's glory.
And so Jesus, this last week, we looked at the woe, woe, woe, woe.
And we go from the woe to are you kidding me?
And so we're going to look at verses 27 through 36.
And I want you to hang on to your hat.
And I want you to prepare your heart because just looking at this this last week and studying through it,
it's it's kind of tipped me over a little bit.
And so would you pray with me?
Father, thank you for this word that is Lord is from you.
All the letters are in red and you speak truth to our hearts.
And Lord, it seems to be overwhelming and impossible for us fallen creatures to to fulfill what is what is written here, Lord.
But we know that with you and by your spirit, you're able to do things in us that we could never do in ourselves, Lord.
And so we pray for that as we as we look at this and that you would teach us by your spirit, Lord,
and also empower us by your spirit.
If we feel weak, if we feel incapable of doing what you've called us to do, Lord,
you you you tell us that you'll you'll enable us, Lord, that you'll you'll qualify the called,
not necessarily calling the qualified, Lord.
So we just thank you that you use the foolish things of the world.
So may we be your fool tonight in Jesus name today.
Amen.
And tonight.
So let's just read.
We'll read these these 10 verses from verse 27 to 36.
And it says, but I say to you.
Do what?
Yeah.
Chapter six.
Sorry.
Luke chapter six, verses 27 through 36.
But I say to you who hear love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you and pray for those who spitefully use you to him who strikes you on the one cheek.
Offer the other also.
And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either.
Give to everyone who asks of you.
And and from him who takes away your goods, do not ask them back.
And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them to them likewise.
But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?
Or even for even sinners love those who love them.
And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you?
For even sinners do the same.
And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you?
For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.
But love your enemies, do good and lend, hoping for nothing in return.
And your reward will be great.
And you will be sons of the Most High.
For he is kind to the unthankful and evil.
Therefore, be merciful just as your Father also is merciful.
And, you know, you say, well, really?
The first thing he says is to those, it says, but I say to you who hear.
You got to hear God's word, right?
And sometimes these words are so familiar to us, we don't really hear them, right?
We don't really let it sink in and really ruminate in our hearts and in our conscience and in our mind.
Because when I see this, I see, what?
But I hate my enemies.
I don't like them.
And Jesus is telling me here, you know what?
Sorry.
You know, I want to be like David.
You know, Psalm 58, which says, break their teeth in their mouth, O Lord.
And so, but are we one who hears?
Are we willing to hear?
This is those who will listen and shame on you if you don't.
Because this is really, it is a command.
And it does seem like a ridiculous, impossible command.
And, but enemies often stir up an anger and a hatred.
And I think that we see that's what's going on in the Middle East right now.
Because of hatred, because of the darkness of men's hearts.
That's why we see a pretty ferocious battle going on in Israel and in Iran.
And so, we definitely need to be praying.
Praying for the Israelites.
Praying for the Iranians.
That they would come to know Jesus.
That this is going to solve nothing spiritually for either country.
They need to repent and turn to the great God and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
That's what they need.
And that's what you and I need.
But it's interesting how easily we're angered by those who come against us or take from us or hurt us.
And our hatred causes us to forget our own sin.
When you're angry with somebody, you forget your own sin.
You forget all about it.
It's like, no, I'm justified in this.
No, you're not.
Nor am I.
The only one justified to punish sin is God himself.
Right?
He's justified in that.
Or the whole justice system that God put into place.
That's justified.
But the Lord tells us, vengeance is mine.
I will repay, says the Lord.
And, but I don't like that because I want to be the one who's paying that bill.
Right?
I'm the one that wants to get even.
I've often said, and I confuse people sometimes when I say this, but I often say that someone's sin against you can be your greatest sin.
It can become your greatest sin.
When somebody sins against you.
Because you harbor it.
You hang on to it.
You let it fester.
Turning to this oozy, pussy sore in your heart that you can't get past.
And it's all consuming.
And it becomes your greatest sin.
That's why Jesus says, if you do not forgive, you can't be forgiven.
And I've had people tell me, I will never forgive.
Really?
That's a pretty tough stance.
Because you, you're disqualifying yourself from the kingdom by doing that.
And, and all fruit of the flesh.
It just, it just, just, it's evident.
It just comes out.
Right?
Sometimes there's little triggers.
Maybe you hear a person's name that you're angry with.
Or, or maybe even a people group.
Galatians tells us what it looks like.
And it's, it's, it's, it's a stench.
It's ugly.
In Galatians 5, it says, now the works of the flesh are evident, which are adultery and fornication.
Cleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions.
Sounds like teenagers, don't it?
Dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like.
Of which I tell you beforehand, just as I told you in time past,
that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
The Lord is really calling us to call our hearts into account here.
With how we deal with those who hate us and, and don't like us.
And, and may have maybe hurt us.
And therefore caused us to hate them and not to like them.
So he says four things in verses 27 and 28.
First, he says, love, right?
Love, this is agapeo.
It's the, it's the noun, or the, excuse me, the verb form of agape.
It's wholehearted, unconditional devotion.
Really?
To my enemies?
You know?
That's what he said.
I didn't say it.
He said it.
Feelings and condition, you know, feelings, sentimental feelings.
Really?
But I don't feel anything for these people.
Years ago, I, I worked with a guy that I didn't really like.
He was kind of a greaser.
You know what I mean?
You know, he had long, greasy hair.
And he mocha-toked quite a bit.
And I was saved at this point.
And I'm, I walk into the break room one day, and I just met this guy.
And I'm thinking, oh, Lord, please don't ever let me have to work with that guy.
Oh, you know what's coming, don't you?
Very next day.
Him and I are in a transport, transporting equipment all day long.
And I thought, oh, my gosh, I'm going to backslide all over this guy's face.
So we get to talking, and I start sharing with him.
And come to find out he had grown up, knowing the Lord, knowing who the Lord is.
And he finally looked at me.
He says, Scotty, he says, don't you got to want it?
And I thought, yeah, you really do.
You got to want it.
You got to want Jesus.
But it was amazing to me how the Lord totally turned my heart.
And even now, when I think of him, his name's Chris Wynn.
He's from the Magic Valley down there.
When I think of Chris, I pray for him.
And just began, just, I just came to love the guy.
And I know that wasn't me.
But the Lord, you know, checked my little sour attitude, if you will, by, oh, so you don't
think you can like this guy?
Well, I'm going to just make you, you know, a little uncomfortable here and put you in
your place.
And he did.
And my love for him began to grow.
I actually had feelings for this guy.
I loved him.
And I wanted to see him come to know Jesus.
And so God can do that.
But you got to let him, right?
That was the only thing that I had going for him.
And I was willing to let God let me.
Because at the moment, I didn't feel like it at all.
Right?
But love goes beyond feelings, right?
Anybody married?
You ask my wife many times.
She feels like murdering me and collecting that life insurance policy.
Life would be so much easier without this bozo around.
But, so it goes beyond feeling.
Secondly, he says, do good.
And this is a, it means an honest goodness, not fake.
Do good.
Do good to my enemies.
Yes.
If they stumble, help them up.
If they break down, give them a pull.
If their donkey wanders astray, return him to the one that's your enemy.
I had this happen to me one time.
I was, well, I saw it displayed, actually.
And it was one of my hellion friends that had grown up as a Christian.
And we were up skiing.
And I was the youngest.
I was just between my eighth grade and freshman year.
And, and, or maybe it wasn't my freshman year because it was winter time.
And we were skiing.
And these guys had graduated high school.
And I was, and they were big, tough guys.
And so, I was kind of cocky.
And I go off this jump and crash.
I wasn't a very good skier.
I was really good at crashing.
And I crashed and I dug this big divot down below the jump.
And this one kid up above, you know, that was, he was still in high school.
He goes, hey, dopey, cover up your hole.
You calling me dopey?
And they were a lot bigger than me.
But my buddies said, hey, he's with us.
And, and so he kind of give him, give the kid a little tongue lash in, in, and humbled him.
And so, we're on our way home that night after the lifts closed.
And guess what?
About a mile down from the, from the ski hill, this dude's run off the road.
And I thought, good.
And my buddy, all of a sudden, he got this soft heart.
He's a great big guy.
He got this soft heart and he goes, no, we got to help him.
I said, really?
I said, yeah, we got to help him.
His dad was my elementary principal.
And boy, could that guy swing the paddle.
But they were a Christian family, just good people.
And though this kid was kind of right in his testimony, he knew what was right.
And he knew that we needed to stop and help this kid that had, you know, insulted me.
And sure enough, he did.
Showed him kindness.
I thought, wow, that's how you do this?
I don't know that I was impressed.
I was just kind of, you know, behooved that he would do that.
But that's what it's talking about here.
Just an honest goodness.
No, I'm going to help you.
I don't care what you did.
Isn't that what God does to us?
Hey, I'm offering you salvation here.
And you've sinned against me.
And I'm willing to let all that go.
You just come to me.
And the goodness of the Lord.
And that's what Jesus is teaching here.
That we're to be good.
It doesn't matter what people do to us.
Thirdly, he says, bless.
It's interesting.
This was a Greek word.
Well, I can't even say it.
Eulogio.
Which is where we get our word eulogy.
Right?
And eulogy, it literally means to speak well of.
We see that at funerals.
A lot of times people are lying at funerals.
But they try to speak well.
It reminds me of this story.
That I heard about the two brothers.
They were just, they were no good lying, cheating, thieving dogs.
They weren't.
One of them dies.
And so the pastor's getting ready to do the funeral.
And the brother comes up to him and says, I don't care what you say about my brother.
But you better let them people know that he was a good, upstanding, honest guy.
And the pastor was in a quandary.
He didn't know what to do.
So he gets up and he says, this man was a lying, thieving, womanizing, cheating, stealing dog.
But compared to his brother over here, he was an upstanding, good guy.
He says, bless those who curse you.
They're speaking ill of you, right?
That's what it means.
It means that we must speak well of those who speak ill of us.
William Barclay, a certain commentator, says this about this pastor.
He says, we cannot love our enemies as we love our nearest or dearest.
To do so would be unnatural, impossible, and he says, even wrong.
But we can see to it that no matter what a man does to us, even if he insults, ill treats, and injures us, we will seek nothing but his highest good.
That's so against our nature.
That's why people are going, how can you do this?
This is like it's impossible.
Fourthly, he says that we should pray.
Right?
He says, pray for those who spitefully use you.
And that's the key, is to pray.
When you pray for your enemy, something happens.
One commentator said, how should we treat our enemies?
We must love them, do good, bless them, fourthly, pray for them.
Hatred only breeds more hatred.
That's so true.
For man's anger does not produce the righteousness of God.
That's James 1.20.
It can't be done in our own strength.
It is impossible for us to do in our own strength.
But it can be done, however, through the Holy Spirit.
Right?
And if you finish, I read part of Galatians 5 there.
And if you go on down, when it talks about the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace.
You know, long-suffering, brotherly kindness.
That's what comes from a person that is filled with God's Holy Spirit.
He goes on and he says, we must not look at these admonitions as a series of rules to obey.
They describe an attitude of heart that expresses itself positively when others are negative.
And generously when others are selfish.
All to the glory of God.
It is an inner disposition, not a legal duty.
It's just a...
It's who you become as the Spirit of God begins to mold and shape you into the image of Christ Jesus.
That's what happens.
And then we're able to do it.
Not in our own strength, but in His strength.
Praying for our enemies, you guys, keeps our heart right with God and with men.
It just keeps your heart right.
Keeps you in the right place.
You know, the old saying, right thinking leads to right living.
It's true.
But many say, impossible.
Yes.
But didn't Jesus come doing the impossible?
He healed the terminal.
He gave sight to the blind.
He raised the dead.
Conquering death itself.
Jesus came doing the impossible.
And He talks about it quite a bit.
In Matthew 17, His disciples got face to face with this dude that was demon possessed.
And they couldn't cast the demon out.
And so they questioned Jesus about it.
And Jesus said to them, because of your unbelief, for assuredly I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there.
And it will move and nothing will be impossible for you.
So it's all predicated upon our yieldedness to the Holy Spirit.
Experience in salvation, being a child of God, born into the family, then God can fill you with His Spirit.
And do what He wants with you.
And give you the strength, the wherewithal, to do what Jesus instructs us to do here.
Do you have faith that God can help you love your enemies?
Because that's what He's saying here.
If you've got faith, then nothing will be impossible for you.
So many people say no, because they cut it off right there.
They say, I will never.
Don't say that.
Right?
Don't say that.
I've said that before in my life.
I would never do that.
Guess what I do?
Just what I said I would never do.
That's how weak we are.
Jesus talks to His disciples about the rich young ruler.
I mentioned it last week.
And how hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
And He said, surely I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
And again, I say to you that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
You know, and I talked about the woe to the rich.
And I talked about the woe to the rich, right?
Now, this is interesting.
This, this, these disciples see the world like most Americans.
They, they say, they say, and when His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished saying, who then can be saved?
Why?
Because you and I, we got a habit of chasing old George.
Don't we?
The more Georges we can get in our pocket, the better off we are, right?
The disciples realized that.
Who can be saved?
Right?
Isn't that why we go fishing every morning?
Trying to catch enough fish to get rich?
But Jesus looked at them and said to them, with men, this is impossible.
But with God, all things are possible.
But He said, it's hard.
Hard for a rich man.
Most of us in this room would qualify.
As years ago, I had a Mormon friend that told me, oh, that eye of the needle thing.
That's a, that's a, this, this little brick doorway in the Middle East that, you know, the only way camels can get through it is when they get on their knees and they can crawl through it.
It's hard, but they can do it.
Well, I thought, oh, wow.
Well, that makes that a little more, you know, palatable.
And then I looked at it in the Greek.
And the Greek where it says needle, it means sewing needle.
Right?
It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a sewing needle than for a rich man to get to heaven.
Whoa.
but with God
all things are possible
including loving your enemies
now as an old brawler
back in the day
fisticuffs was a
normal thing
I'm shocked now that
people that I get upset with I don't want to
beat their face in
and it's like Lord you're
you're pretty awesome
because left to myself
I'm a murderous self-centered
huh yeah I won't go there but you know
and so he doesn't stop there
but in verses 29 through 31
Jesus takes it to another level
to him who strikes you on the one cheek
offer the other also
and from him who takes away your cloak
do not withhold your tunic either
give to everyone who asks you
and from him who takes away your goods
do not ask them back
and just as you want men to do to you
you also do to them likewise
turn the other cheek
seriously
now I haven't been hit
I haven't I haven't had to try to practice that one
but I'm thinking
I think I'd fail that test
it's kind of like my friend
my old Baptist preacher friend said
yeah God told me to turn the other cheek
and when they hit that one
I have no further instructions
we're terrible
we are terribly wicked sinners
and
you know
is this generosity
generosity
or stupidity
Paul tells us in Romans chapter 12
he says
beloved
do not avenge yourselves
but rather give place to wrath
for it is written
vengeance is mine
I will repay
says the Lord
therefore if your enemy is hungry
feed him
if he is thirsty
give him a drink
for in so doing
you will heap coals of fire
on his head
do not be overcome by evil
but overcome evil with good
overcome evil with good
and I don't think that
Paul is speaking tongue in cheek here
right
I don't think he's going
yeah you're just getting them
you're killing them with kindness
yeah
no
he's just
he just realized that vengeance
is the Lord's
and that when God calls us
to show this kindness
and this
this
ability to not retaliate
that God can bless that
and if this person doesn't turn
then coals of fire will be heaped upon his head
literally
and simply to be a witness
years ago when I was
I was young in the Lord
and I read a
read a book about a
KGB
officer in Russia
that had defected
to the US
and
they were persecuting
the underground church
there in Russia
at this time
and
they would go in
and break up Christian meetings
and he was beating
this old woman
and
she looked up at him
with blood running out of
all of her orifices
in her face
and she said
Jesus forgive him
he don't know what he's doing
and it was that
it was that act
that led him to Christ
and
he moved to Canada
defected from Russia
the Holy Spirit
got a hold of him
and it was powerful
what
she was a witness
she
she was living out
what Jesus instructed us here
and
it
it converted a soul
and so
it's our opportunity
what I believe
Paul's saying here
is to be a witness
to be a witness
and to
to be like Jesus
as he said there
at the cross
that they don't know
what they're doing
now
now we must have wisdom
right
I think there's
there's times
when we
discern certain things
I remember
when they
smote Jesus
there in
John 18
he spoke
to the dude
and
he said
if
if what I've said
is wrong
then okay
but
if what I said
is good
then why
did you strike me
why did you hit me
and
he was simply
answering a question
of the high priest
Paul does the same thing
in Acts 16
when they're gonna come
let him out of
prison secretly
he said oh no
oh no
we ain't going there
they arrested me publicly
put me to shame
in front of everybody
they're gonna come publicly
and release me
and so
there's discernment
but for the most part
we are to turn the other cheek
and pray that God
would give us wisdom
as Paul did there
in Philippians chapter 1
where he says
this I pray
that your love may abound
still more and more
in knowledge
and in all discernment
that you may approve
the things that are excellent
that you may be sincere
and without offense
till the day of Christ
being filled with the fruits
of righteousness
which are by Jesus Christ
to the glory
and praise of God
and so yes
there's discernment
but
but think about this
I mean
he who steals
your coat
right
let him have your cloak
also
that'd be like some dude
coming stealing your stereo
out of your car
and you catch him
and he takes off running
and you go
wait a minute
you forgot the amplifier
fire in the speakers
it's just like
Lord
you got some work
to do in us
right
and then he says
and just as you want men
to do to you
you also do to them
likewise
now
years ago
and this was even
before Christ
in about 500 BC
Confucius comes along
with this same thought
but in the negative
and he was saying
whatever you don't want
people to do to you
don't do it to them
that's a negative
Jesus brings it
in the positive
right
where he says
and just as you want
men to do to you
you also do to them
like
well what do you want
men to do to you
I want them to bless me
I want them to be nice
to me
and kind to me
and take care of me
well
then what does that mean
you have to do
I gotta bless them
and be kind to them
and take care of them
that's what he's saying
that's in the positive
not in the negative
no don't do to people
that you don't want
no
do to people
what you want
done to you
it was
it was proactive
verses 32 through 36
as we close here
this morning
it says
but if you love
those who love you
what credit is that
to you
for even sinners
love those who love them
and if you do good
to those who do good
to you
what credit is that
to you
for even sinners
do the same
and if you lend
to those
from whom
you hope to receive
back
what credit
is that to you
Jesus is saying
you love people
who love you
so what
there's nothing cool
about that
you don't deserve
a pat on the back
for that
no you
you love somebody
that wants to
beat your face
in and cut
your head off
and you're nice
to them
that's what he's
talking about
for even sinners
lend
to sinners
to receive
as much
back
maybe with a little
interest
but love
your enemies
do good
and lend
hoping for
nothing in return
and your reward
will be great
and you
will be the sons
of the most high
for he
is kind
to the unthankful
and evil
therefore
be merciful
just as your father
also
is merciful
and he says
here
he says
listen
when you do
this
right
you
you don't do it
for nothing
right
you don't do it
for nothing
he says
this
there will be
a reward
and
and we know
that because
it is the
ultimate
display
of self
denial
well I've
got rights
man
I've got the
right to
throw a
punch
after they've
been
beaten
on me
no
pastor
Gordon
used to
tell us
when you
come to
Jesus
you give
up all
your rights
to be
right
when you
come to
Jesus
you give
up all
your rights
to be
right
notice
he says
for he
is kind
to the
unthankful
and evil
doesn't that
just gall
you
the
unthankfulness
of people
we're seeing
it's like
a wave
in our
country
people
aren't
thankful
for this
country
that didn't
just
oh it
just makes
it just
bristles
me up
makes me
want to
sin
again
teenagers
right
they just
think they're
entitled
sometimes
unthankful
but notice
it says
that God
the father
is
is kind
to the
unthankful
and evil
and it
says
and you
will be
the sons
of the
most high
this is
the father's
day
a loving
kind
merciful
father
should
produce
kind
merciful
children
we need
to be
like our
father
in heaven
Jesus
was
well it
wasn't
that it
wasn't
that he
didn't get
fired up
he did
righteously
I might
add
mine is
seldom
righteously
it's
usually
selfish
proverbs
10
1 says
a wise
son
makes a
glad
father
and really
folks we
are truly
living our
lives for
the audience
of one
it's only
one person
that matters
because the
day that you
take your
last breath
and you
stand all
by yourself
and I
stand all
by myself
before the
God of
heaven
I will
give an
account for
all this
stuff
and I
want to be
that wise
son
that he
did
the
awesome
powerful
word of
God
that
discerns
the
thoughts
and the
intents
of our
heart
and
I'm
looking
forward
to that
day
so I
need
to keep
learning
how to
turn that
of the
cheek
over
and over
again
just as
Jesus
told Peter
there
how many
times
should I
forgive
my
brother
seven
times
no doubt
he was
puffed up
and thinking
aren't I
generous
and Jesus
took the
wind out of
his sails
when he
said
not seven
times dude
seventy
times seven
now you're
starting to get
the picture
I
am excited
about that
day
but I
do walk
in fear
because I
know
sometimes
I'm not
that wise
son
and so
father we
just come
before you
right now
seeking your
face
Lord as
we
enter into
communion
we
remember
ourselves
and how
far
we fall
short of
your glory
and we
pray that
you would
change our
hearts
Lord
empower us
to live
these
out these
commandments
of
loving
and doing
good
and
blessing
and praying
for those
who we
know
don't
like us
and we
know that
they didn't
like you
so the
world's
not gonna
like us
help us
to be okay
with that
Lord Jesus
and help
us to
that you
would fan
that flame
of our
love
in these
day last
days
when the
love of
many
is
growing
cold
and so
Lord now
as we
have the
elements
in our
hand
and we
we
remember
your
body
that was
broken
displaying
your
great
love
for
us
and
you
forgave
those
who
tore
your
flesh
and
pierced
it
with
the
nails
Lord
and
the
spear
and
the
and
those
Judean
thorns
that went
on your
head
as a
crown
and you
forgave
and you
let it
go
and you
turn
the other
cheek
Lord
we
take
that
as a
memory
but also
Lord
we
we desire
it as
your
people
to be
like
you
so thank
you for
that
sacrifice
Lord
help us
to be
willing
to lay
it down
just as
you did
for greater
love has
no one
than this
that he
would lay
down his
life for
his friends
Lord
and you
did it
for us
so we
hold this
bread
before you
Lord
we
thank
you
for
it
pray
that
you
would
bless
it
as
we
partake
and
remember
your
broken
body
for us
in Jesus
name
let's
partake
likewise
you
took
the
cup
and
you
told
him
Lord
that
this
is
my
blood
that
is
shed
for
you
Lord
that
it
truly
washes
us
clean
from
that
anger
and
that
hatred
that
can
so
just
stack
up
and
fester
up
in
our
hearts
Lord
would
you
remove
it
Lord
with
the
cleansing
power
of
your
precious
blood
Lord
as
we
remember
you
Lord
being
willing
to
be
poured
out
as
a
drink
offering
for
us
and
so
Lord
just
bless
this
cup
as
we
partake
and
we
remember
the
washing
that
took
place
and
may
it
wash
over
our
minds
and
hearts
Lord
as
we
remember
you
Lord
and
maybe
even
remember
some
of
those
who
we
would
consider
enemies
Lord
and
we
lift
them
up
to
you
praying
your
blessing
upon
their
lives
Lord
that
they
would
come
to
know
you
Lord
that
they
wouldn't
depart
from
this
life
not
knowing
the
king
of
kings
and
the
lord
of
lords
their
great
sacrifice
for
their
sin
Lord
so
deliver
them
deliver
them
from
themselves
and
from
the
world
and
from
the
devil
and
Lord
we
just
praise
you
for
that
precious
blood
that
offers
us
that
eternal
cleansing
of
our
hearts
from
this
sin
in
Jesus
name
bless
the
cup
let's
all
stand
shall
we
Lord
Jesus
we
just
thank
you
for
this
impossible
command
and
so
may
you
do
that
which
is
impossible
with
God
in
each
one
of
us
this
week
Lord
as
we
go
about
not
being
ashamed
of
the
name
that
is
above
every
name
Lord
knowing
that
one
day
is
coming
soon
Lord
help
us
to
lift
up
our
head
in
these
days
Lord
when
it
seems
to
be
so
out
of
control
around
the
world
and
even
in
our
country
Lord
help
us
to
not
get
full
of
rage
but
may
we
be
full
of
your
Holy
Spirit
in
Jesus
Holy
Name
Amen
God
bless
you
guys
have
a
great
week
in
Jesus
Thank you.
