Prayer And Message Setup
SPEAKER_01Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise God. Glory to God. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we want to thank you again for bringing us to your house this morning. Lord God, we're here to hear your word again. That word that will transform us. That word that will change us. That word that will heal us. That word that will bless us. That word that will deliver us. That word that will save us, oh God. Let that word come today out of my mouth. In Jesus' name. Amen. Put your hands together for the Lord. Hallelujah. Amen. You know, it's it's so amazing. Pastor Sean is not here, and then he's asked that, you know, I bring the last of the Ten Commandments. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. So I want to thank Pastor Sean, you know, and Pastor Angela for giving me this opportunity to speak God's word to his people this morning. And I know that the Lord is going to bless everyone in the house. Amen. Um, how many of you can tell me what today's message is going to be? If you've been here for we're doing the Ten Commandments, right? And who can tell me what today's message is? Not Bruce. Who can tell me what today's message is all about? Nine commandments you've heard in the night last nine weeks. So who's the student in the house? Who's the worshipper in the house that will tell me what today's message is all about? Tell me somebody. Steve. Students in the room. Okay, Bruce, could you tell them what the word for today is? Hallelujah. So that's the title of my message this morning. Exodus chapter 20. And verse 16.
What False Witness Really Means
SPEAKER_01The Bible says, Thou shalt not. We've been hearing enough of thou shall not. This is a tent, thou shalt not. Thou shalt not what testify falsely. That is to lie, to withhold, or to manipulate the truth against your neighbor or any person. In the King James Version, it says, Thou shalt not, like Bruce said, Thou shalt not bear what? False witness. False witness. And God was giving them this commandment for a reason. Like Pastor Sean said, he said, you know, I'm not going to give you in that chronological order. This is the ninth of the tenth commandment. In that order, in Exodus chapter 20. And God was saying to his people that you should not be a false witness. That is, you should not lie, you should not distort the truth of my word, or you should not lie one to another. And we're going to be seeing all kinds of lies, all kinds of liars, even in the Bible. And how God wants us to come out of that nature because it's in our past, it's in our old nature. And like Pastor Sean has been giving us like a kind of like a style in the last 10 weeks. I want to pull out our 10 most common lies that we tell. You want to hear the 10 most common lies? We we call them white lies. We call them half truth. You know, maybe you've found yourself in one of these before. And um, what's the first one? I'm on my way. But you are still at home. Folks, you are still on home, and you are telling me, Dad, I'm on my way. How many of us are guilty of that? You know yourself. Number two, he says, I'm almost there. Hey, sister Sherry, are you coming for small group meeting? I'm almost there, I'm almost there. No, it's not you. She's just leaving the house. Number three, oh, you get to work. You're supposed to resume at eight eight on the dot, but you get to work at eight, eleven. And then you walk to your boss. Oh, traffic was terrible. How many of us have done that? But there was the road was free. Number four, I didn't see your text. But you never texted. Number five, my phone died. Don't lie against this instrument. Number six, still on this. I was just about to call you, Pastor Jason. You beat me to read. Number seven. I'll be ready to leave in five minutes. Women in the house. Let's go, let's go in five minutes. Just give me five more minutes. Let me make my hair. The next one is how are you? I'm fine. But that's not true. You're not fine. Mom, I'm fine. Hey, tell me, Matthew, what's going on? I'm fine. Tell the truth. Number nine. You gave me a birthday gift. And I wanted a blue, a blue, you know, denim trouser. And you bought me a black. In my heart, I didn't like the black, right? But I was saying, Oh, I love your gift, Stephanie. I love the gift you gave me. And then this last one, all the women in the room. Honey, you look beautiful. I said that this morning. How dare you look at your wife after she dresses up and you say she's not beautiful? Men in the room, you know what will happen to you. All right. You know, God wants us to be truthful with one another. God wants us to live in love one to another. And we're going to be seeing that. So he says, Exodus 20, verse 16, he says, Thou shalt not lie or bear false witness against thy neighbor. Now, let me give a backup on this. You know, before that, you know the nature of God in three scriptures, in Numbers 23, verse 19, the Bible says, God is not a man that what he should lie. God does not lie. God will never be a false witness. To who? For what? Number two, nature of God in this light. Titus
God’s Nature And Sinai Backstory
SPEAKER_011, verse 2, it says what? It says, God that cannot lie. God that cannot lie. God cannot lie. It's impossible for God to lie. It's like saying a man comes to meet you, your friend, he says, Hey, Pastor Jason, do you know I'm pregnant? Is that possible? It's impossible. And then the third one, he says, Hebrews 6 verse 8, he says, By two immutable things of which it's impossible for God to lie. It's impossible for God to lie. And that is God's nature. He wants us to have that nature. Let your word to your wife, let your word to your children, let your word to your boss be what? Yea, when is yea? And nay, when is what? Nay. That's what God wants. And so let me back off a bit. We've come from you know commandment one to ninth. This is the tenth one. Why did God give them these 10 commandments? What's the backstory? They had just left captivity in Egypt for how many years? 430 years. And they had just crossed the Red Sea. We all know the miracle at the Red Sea. God parted the Red Sea and they all crossed. About three million Israelites crossed the Red Sea and they were on their way where? To the promised land. In the third month of their living Egypt, that was when God gave them these Ten Commandments. According to Exodus 19, verse 1. It was in their third month they had gathered at Mount Sinai. They were there gathered. Moses, what do we do next? How do we go next? And I put a picture of Mount Sinai. And God was telling them that, telling Moses, their leader, gather everybody together. Gather together. I want to say something to you guys. So three million people gathered on this mountain at the base of the mountain, and God gave instructions. Nobody should come near the mountain. Only you, Moses, come to the top of the mountain. I am going to speak to these people. They will hear my voice, and I'll be dropping the commandment one by one. So they were all gathered on this mountain in the wilderness. Why did God give them this commandment? One was to purge them of their past. They have lived 430 years in the wilderness. They had learned the ways of the Egyptians. They have learned the culture of the Egyptians. Also, I believe they had learned the language of the Egyptians. So they could speak in Egyptian language, apart from their Hebrew language. So God was saying, I want to pour you of that life 430 years. All the people that were living in Egypt at this time, they were all born in Egypt. None of them was born out of Egypt. All of them were born right there in Egypt. And I want to ask this question: how many of us have lived outside the United States? For five years, three years, not visits. You've lived outside the United States.
SPEAKER_00How many? Very few hands. The laws that govern maybe you live in Europe.
SPEAKER_01You went, you stayed in Europe, or you stayed in Africa, or you stayed in Asia, wherever you stayed, the laws that govern the land outside the United States are different. And if you are coming into the United States or you are going to another country, you have to learn the laws of that land. And this is what God was trying to do first to push them of the ways of Egypt. You don't need that life anymore. You don't need that culture anymore. You don't need that language also anymore. I want to infuse you with something that will stand you guys out. And that was the second dimension. God gave them the commandments to distinguish Israel amongst the people on the earth. You guys are going to live a kind of life that will please me, a loving relationship with me and with one another. That wow, the whole world will look at you as a different species of people. Hallelujah. And that's what God wants to do, also, even in the New Testament. When Jesus came, Jesus was saying exactly the same thing. In 1 Peter chapter 2, verse 9, he says, Ye are a royal priesthood, ye are a holy nation, you are a peculiar people, you are different from all the people on the earth. The church, the children of God, Christians everywhere. We are supposed to be different. So back then the Bible called these people the church in the wilderness. And God was giving them that instruction. This ten commandments is going to distinguish all of you. And we saw the beautiful thing Pastor Sean did for us. Please let's put our hands together for Pastor Sean. You know, this last nine weeks has proven to us in the house that we have gifts in this house. So we've seen the young people, Jackson, Leo, Easy, they came out and they spoke in one dimension of the Ten Commandments. Hallelujah. Then we saw the worship team, Aldo. Man, when Aldo was preaching that day, I was like, wow, this guy got the word. Pastor Gwen, Megan, Daniel, Stephanie, Pastor Jason, they all came out here, gave a dimension of thou shalt worship only the Lord thy God. And then when we had the panel here, honor thy father and thy mother. Man, when when um your husband, Jamal, was speaking, wow. And everybody on the panel spoke. It was glorious. And I'm like, God, there's gift in this house. And I pray that even in this last one, as you hear this last one, God is going to tweak something in you. God is going to turn something right on your inside. Amen. God is going to open your mind that, hey, I'm a different breed. When Pastor Susan came and gave the dimension of thou shalt not steal, God was forging something on our inside. So today is the last of the forging. God wants to forge you with those ten commandments by his grace and by spirit that work in you, so that you can live exceptionally as a child of God in this time. Hallelujah. So God gave them that commandment porge yourself, and then two, I will distinguish you on the face of the earth. But let's back to scriptures. What is this whole commandment all about? Thou shalt not bear false witness. Who was the first liar in the Bible? Who was the first liar? Who lied first? Who? I got I got brilliant students in the room. I got brilliant students in the room. Cain was the first liar. When Pastor Susan spoke about thou shalt not skill, she used this same verse in Genesis chapter 4
Cain Abraham Jacob And The Pattern
SPEAKER_01and verse 9. You know what happened. He had murdered his brother Abel out of jealousy, out of insecurity. And now the act had been committed. He had sinned one of the commandments. He had broken that commandment. Guess what? He added another layer of thou shalt not in his sins. So when he killed his brother Abel, he ran. But God sees of everything. Just like how God sees us today. Nothing is hidden from God. So Abel, Cain, God came to meet him and he said, Abel, Abel, where art thou? And he asked him, he said, Where is your brother? Abel? What was his answer? I don't know. Is that the truth? Is that the truth? That was the first lie. And sadly, it was between siblings. It was in a family. Today we see that still happening. Siblings lying one to another. Parents lying to their children. Children lying to their parents. Spouses lying one to another, lying to your pastor, lying to your boss in the office. It's not right. And God saw that and he said, Abel, why, Cain, why? And then he added to that that I do not know. He said, Am I my brother's keeper? That's insult on God. You lied, and then you are now like, God, can you just back off me? God, back of me. Go find your son. Go look for Abel. And that's not it. Tell your neighbor, don't lie to me. Hallelujah. And then in the scriptures, we see we see a list of people who bore false witness. People who lied in the Bible. I will take just about three in this first service. Number one was Abraham, our father of faith. And what Abraham did, like we're talking about the ten common lies, we lie. Abraham's lie was a white lie. Permit me to put it that way. Abraham's lie was half truth. Right, mama? What was his lie? Genesis 20. He was before Pharaoh. And you know Abraham's wife. What was her name? Sarah. Sarah was a very beautiful woman, physically beautiful. From scriptures. Physically beautiful woman. They got into Egypt, and the king saw when Abraham entered into the city. And he said, Who is this beautiful woman? I want her. And then they asked Abraham, Who is she? And Abraham lied. He says, It's my sister. But if you check scripture, Sarah was indeed, in truth, his sister, half sister.
SPEAKER_00But at that point, was Sarah his sister? It was his wife. Then fast forward again.
SPEAKER_01At another time, Abraham was in the land of Gerah. And then they told him, Who is this? The king of the city, Abimelech said the same thing. Who is this woman? He said, Oh, she's my sister. He lied a second time. Now, interesting thing. Fast forward many years after his son Isaac got married to Rebekah. In the same land of Gerah, the same king looked, casted his eyes on Rebekah. I love this woman. Rebekah again was another physically beautiful woman from scriptures. And the king wanted Rebekah. In fact, the king took Rebekah from Isaac. But Isaac lied to the same way his father lied. He said, She's my sister. And then because he said so, what happened? The king took her. But guess what? He could not sleep with her that night. God kind of restrained and constrained him. And somewhere, somehow, he knew that Rebekah was Isaac's wife. To what end do we lie? Why do we lie? Then go to the next generation. We know Abraham, uh the family of Isaac. Isaac had Rebekah, and Isaac had two sons, who? Esau and Jacob. And Isaac was about to die. And he told his son, his first son, Esau, go prepare me food. His mother heard it. And he said, No, I love Isaac more than you. And then he went to tell her son, hey, this is what your father wants to do. Hey, let's do this. And then they schemed and lied to Isaac when Jacob was going to present the food to his father. He said, Who is this? And Jacob lied. This is who? Esau. In a family. So you see mother and son conspiring to bear false witness to lie against her own son, to her husband, against her own brother, his own brother, to his father. And we see all of that going on in the lineage of Abraham. God is going to break generational patterns today. God is going to destroy whatever has been a negative pattern in your family. Today, God is going to break it. We see it in this family. It may not be life for your family, it may be something else in your family. God wants to break it because you are in a new covenant with God. And so we see all of that going on in this generation, in these families. But guess what? Jesus came. Hallelujah. And told us in John 8, verse 44 that Satan is identified as who? The father of lies. He's a liar from the beginning. So everything that comes out of us when we lie, we know that there's a seed that is not of God in us speaking. But Jesus came and introduced himself in John 14, verse 6. He says, I am the way, I am the truth, and I am the life. I am the truth,
Jesus Is Truth And Love Fulfills Law
SPEAKER_01not a truth. I am the truth. You want to know truth, you want to walk in truth. This is me. Connect with me, walk with me, be a part of me. Young people in the room, you don't have any business line. You are still young. You can and you can be engrafted in that nature of God through Jesus Christ. And then he was telling us something here that we should speak in truth. Only Jesus can speak and live in truth. Only Jesus did that. Truth is the language of what? Heaven. We belong to heaven. We have been translated to the heavenly realm according to Colossians 1. 18. We have been translated, and if you live in heaven, if you have if you belong to the heavenly realm, we are supposed to live in truth. I'm going to give us how we can live in truth. Somebody is saying it's not possible. It is. It is. Tell your neighbor it's possible to live in truth. Ephesians 4, verse 25. He says, So stop telling lies. Stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors. Your neighbor could be your parents, it could be your spouse. It could be your worker, your co-worker in the office. He says, Let us tell our neighbors the truth. For we are all part of the same body. Let us stop telling lies. Colossians 3 verse 9. He says, Don't lie to each other. For to have stripped off yourself of your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. You are no more in that old cloak. And that was what God was showing them in that you know wilderness experience. I want you to take off the old man, the one that was Egyptian, the one that was enslaved, the one that had a slavely mentality, the one that had a captivity mentality. Strip yourself of it. I'm giving you a new life. I'm giving you a new nature. I'm giving you a new cloth. Put it on. That cloth is the cloth of truth. Let's put it on. It takes that consciousness. As Christians, it is no longer in our nature to want to tell lies. It's no more. It's no more.
SPEAKER_00Why would you lie to your wife?
SPEAKER_01How would you lie to your children? Children, why would you lie to your parents? What it is. Your parents are not going to disown you.
SPEAKER_00Say it is what it is. We are supposed to filter every thought and conversation from now on.
SPEAKER_01And this is the question you ask yourself. Am I speaking Jesus? Because he is the truth. Because he is the truth. And then when he came in the New Testament, he gave us this commandment. He says, What? Love God. Matthew 22 from 36. He says, Love God. I've come to say these ten commandments, you don't need it anymore. This is what you need now. Hallelujah. This is the commandment you need now. And he collapsed those ten commandments into what? Two. Pastor Sean has shared that in the course of these nine weeks. He said it over and over in different ways. You don't have to worry about I won't steal, I won't covet, I won't lie, I won't kill. You know when Pastor Susan was talking about thou shalt not kill. You see, killing is not only when you cut somebody's head off or you shoot somebody to death. The Bible says life and death are where? In our tongue. Sometimes we've used our tongue to kill certain people by bearing false witness, by lying.
SPEAKER_00And God is saying that you know what?
SPEAKER_01I saw the way they struggled in the Old Testament to keep the Ten Commandments. Jesus, when you get to the earth, you are going to change those ten commandments to two. And the two, one is what? Love God with all your heart, with all your might, with all your soul. And if you do love God, Pastor Sean shared it again. The first four commandments are unto God. Thou shalt not bear false witness. Thou shall not, you know, worship any other image. Thou shalt not keep idols, worship the Lord your God only. On and on. The first four commandments, thou shalt keep the Sabbath. All was unto God. So the first dimension, the first four, love God. People of God, nobody, since I gave my life to Christ, January 12th, 1997. By the grace of God, nobody has pushed me, begged me, cajoled me, followed me up to know God, to serve God, to follow God. I have made up my mind that I will love God with all my heart. I choose to. If you do, you have kept the first four. And then the next six, it says, Love thy neighbor. How? Like you love yourself. Who is your neighbor? Jesus defined your neighbor. He's not the person that lives next door to your house only. It's not somebody that you have a sphere of contact with is your neighbor. It says, Love them. If you love your neighbor, what happens? You will not steal from them. True or false? If you love your neighbor, you can't kill. If you love your neighbor, you can't steal from them. You can't lie to them.
SPEAKER_00I love my wife a lot. And in 23 years of marriage, I've been truthful to her.
SPEAKER_01I'm an open book by the grace of God. Why? Because love is my foundation for our marriage. I love my kids. All five of them. At times they would say, Your favorite is this or is that. I love all my kids. I love all of them. I will not say because these are my sons, I will show favoritism towards them than my daughters. No. If you walk in love, it's is a golden commandment. Jesus has said the whole Ten Commandments is collapsed into these two. The prophets came, they said all kinds of things. The law and the prophet, the one of Moses. Everything is collapsed into the law of loving. And that's what the whole world needs. Love. There's so much hatred in the world now. There's so much hatred, even in families, so much rivalry, so much beaconing, so much competition, all kinds of things. It must be me. No. Why don't you let him have it? Why don't you let your wife have her way? It's all out of love. And Jesus was saying, This is how to love. Romans chapter 13, verse 10. He says, Love does not harm, does no harm to his neighbor. Therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law. Love is the seal. First Corinthians 13, 13. He says, Now abide faith, hope, and love. But the greatest is what? Love. It's love. So we've been going through the ten commandments. Whichever one, check yourself in all of the ten. What you need, brethren, is to walk in love. Follow the two commandments Jesus gave us. Galatians 5 and 14, it says, For all the law is fulfilled in one word. All the law of the commandments, all the you know instructions God has given to us, it is at the root of it is love. So do you walk in love? Do you walk in love? This is how to keep the commandments. There's nothing hard about the Ten Commandments. Whether you want to refer it in the Old Testament or you come to the New Testament and you want to live as a child of God, as a Christian, born again of the Lord. This is all you need to live. This is all. This is what God is saying to us in these 10 weeks. As I begin to round up, this is the whole mix of the 10 weeks we have all shared, we've all heard. Hey, hey, hey, if you love your husband, it's impossible for you to commit adultery. If you love your wife, it's impossible for you to commit adultery. Young people, you are not married. It applies to you. Yours is called fornication. If you love God so much, even that lady, if you love her so much, you will not sleep with her until you are married. It's the law of love. It's the law. It keeps us in check. It keeps us guided. And somebody is saying, I've tried. I've tried to love. I've tried to keep the commandment of thou shalt not bear false witness. Then I have to survive. I have to lie in the office to keep my job. I have to lie to my husband to keep the marriage. How do you walk in love? Jesus has made a provision. Still for you and me. He was about to die. He was about to go to the cross. He said, These two commandments I've given you. You cannot keep this commandment by yourself. You cannot walk in these two commandments without this. Acts chapter 1 and verse 8. This was the last sentence of Jesus before he left the cross, before he went to the cross. I mean, before he ascended, because he had resurrected. And then he was talking to his disciples in Acts chapter 1. And this was
Holy Spirit Power To Walk Free
SPEAKER_01the very last sentence in Acts 1, verse 8. It says, And ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost. And ye, Pastor Susan, you will receive power. Power to walk in love. Power not to lie. Power not to steal. Power to keep the Sabbath holy. Ye shall walk in love when you receive this power of the Holy Spirit. The power of the Holy Spirit is not only for Pastor Jesse to lay hands on you and you do, and then you get healed, you get well, all that. This is another dimension of the power of the Holy Spirit that works in every Christian. And if you want to live for God, this is the this I call this the Joker of the Christian life. Why did Jesus live a sinless life? How did Jesus walk on the planet without it an out of sin? Acts 10 38. How God anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost and with power. How God anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost and with power. You want to do good, walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, walk in the anointing of the Holy Spirit. This is the key. Receive this power today. Shortly, the prayer partners are going to come out. They're going to pray for as many that need this power of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Romans 5 and verse 5. He says, The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts. Our hearts, our hearts, the power of the Holy Spirit resides in your hearts. The law, God kind of love is in your heart. I love talking about my dad. Bless his soul in heaven. My dad was my biggest example, model, mentor on living a Christian life. My father didn't have enemies, he didn't hate anybody. Even when we know this person is not a friend of my dad, my dad never showed evil for evil. I learned that. That's just me. I love loving people. It's hard for me to hate. Even when you do me wrong, it's hard. I can't, I can't do you wrong. I tell my wife all the time, there's no basis for me to wrong you. There's no basis for me to do you evil. It can't happen from me. Why? Not my power, people of God. Is this Holy Spirit on my inside? And that Holy Spirit is going to come on some of you as you come out to pray. Receive the Holy Ghost. So how do we receive this power? I close with these three. Number one, you have to be you have to receive the Holy Spirit. You have to receive. If you are not born again, that's the first dimension. Receive after you are born again, receive the Holy Spirit. Paul went to a church in Ephesus. He said, Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed? Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed? Have you ask yourself this question in the room? Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed? Maybe that's why you are struggling with that sin of the ten. Maybe you've kept all nine, but there's this one that you're struggling with. Have you received the Holy Ghost? He's going to kill that sin in your life today. The second dimension, he says, be filled with this spirit. It's not enough to receive the Holy Ghost. You got to be filled with the Holy Ghost. Ephesians 5, verse 18. He says, We should not be drunk with wine whereby whereby it's in excess. But let's be filled with the Holy Ghost. Let's be filled with the Holy Ghost. God is going to fill you with that Holy Ghost today. And then the third dimension, it says we should walk in the spirit. Many times temptations come to me. I'm not saying I'm perfect. No one is only God, only Jesus that walked the earth. Many times temptations come, but when you have given the Holy Spirit the right of way in your walk, in your life, then it's easy. Children, it's easy. Fathers, it's easy. Husbands is easy. Paul that wrote the Bible, that wrote two-thirds of the New Testament. Paul that wrote two-thirds of the New Testament, what did he do in Romans chapter 7? And I close with this. Listen to this because Romans chapter 7 delivered me from sin, from the power of sin. From verse 14, if you know who Paul was, Paul was a man that was very mighty with scriptures. He wrote two-thirds of the New Testament, and Paul was confessing in Romans chapter 7 from verse 14. He says, The sin, the thing I want to do, for I do not do the good I want to do. Maybe somebody's like that here. But the evil, the evil I do not want to do. This I keep doing. This was Paul. He was struggling with a sin. I don't know what sin you are struggling with right now. Of these 10, there's hope in the room today, there's deliverance in the room today, there's salvation in the room today. Paul had this struggle. But hear what Paul said in Romans 8. Please go read Romans 7 from verse 14 to the end. Then take it into Romans chapter 8. And in verse 2, he said, There is now no more condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh. He says, For the law of sin, for the law of for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death. The law of the spirit of life. Brethren, you need that law of the spirit. The law of the spirit, the law of Christ, the power of the spirit. He sets you free from that sin. He sets you free from that entanglement of that struggle that you are going through, young people, pornography. Whatever it is, it's the law of the spirit. When you are scrolling through your phone, the Holy Spirit is there with you. That's why it's a walk in the spirit. The Holy Spirit will tell you say, Hey, daughter, don't go on this site. Husband, don't go on that path. Drop this friends. You don't need this kind of relationship anymore in your life. The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus. I want you to know David was a man that sinned so much. He killed, he murdered, he lied, he coveted another man's wife. He was in those sins. But in 1 Kings chapter 5, verse 15, it says, David, when he acknowledged his sin, and then he wrote it in Psalms 51. He came out of that sin. Somebody's going to be delivered here. I want us to bow our heads. Maybe you are like David. Maybe you are like Peter, who denied Jesus three times. He lied also. The Almighty Peter lied. He denied Jesus. I don't know him. I never walked with him to a little girl. Or maybe you are like Abraham or his son Isaac or his wife Rebecca. You've bore false witness before. There's forgiveness in the room. There's healing in the room this morning. Father God, we come to you this morning. Lord, we come to you in our filthy garments. And we pull it all out on the altar this morning. Lord, come and forgive every one of us in any way we have come short of your glory. Out of these Ten Commandments, oh God, that we've gone through. You forged us, Lord God, even with this last of the Ten Commandments. Lord, we are going out as new men. We're going out with a new life. We are going out with fresh power. Lord God, to do your will on the face of the earth. Lord, we will be distinguished. Lord, we will be different on the earth, oh God. I pray for everyone struggling right now with sin. Lord God, come and release your anointing upon them. Come and release the Holy Ghost upon them. I want the prayer partners to please come out. Let the prayer partners come out. If you know you want the Lord to touch you, if you know you want the empowerment that the Holy Spirit brings, I want you to come out and let's pray with you. Talk to the partners and let the Holy Spirit come upon you like never before. Father, we thank you. Father, we thank you. Father, we thank you. I don't know how many of you are not saved or born again in the room. I want all of us with our heads bowed, with our eyes closed. Let's say this all together. Heavenly Father, we want to thank you for today. We thank you for the gift of Jesus. And we thank you for the power of the Holy Spirit that helps us to live like Jesus. Today, Lord, we drop our sins at the foot of the cross. We confess our sins before you, Lord. And we say, Lord God, come wash us clean. Wash my sins, Lord. Forgive me my sins, Lord. Like David, I confess them before you. Lord, take not the Holy Ghost from us, fill us afresh with your Holy Spirit. Lord, I'm born again. I receive the life that Jesus gave to us even this day. In the mighty name of Jesus. Let's put our hands together for the Lord. Let's put our hands together for the Lord. Hallelujah. If you need that infilling of the Holy Ghost, please come to the prayer partners that we give you that prayer. Hallelujah.
