,

We are told that we should be wary of those who wish to deceive us. It certainly is important for us to understand the definition of deceit before we journey further into this discussion. Deceit is defined as the act or practice of deceiving, concealment, or distortion of the truth for the purpose of misleading, duplicity, fraud, or cheating. It is also defined as something intended or serving to convey a false impression.

The unfortunate truth, however, is that recognizing just who the deceivers are is often difficult. You see, they use techniques to hide their deception. As an example, they may use phrases or slogans to make you think that they agree with you or are like-minded. They may say something to the effect of; “I can help you”, or “I understand”, or “I know just how you feel”. This is done in order for you to lower your defenses. However, you must be able to see through the deception. We should know about these deceivers. We certainly have been told the truth and we have also been warned about such deception. Matthew 7:15 tells us to; “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”

I have worked diligently to observe and eliminate deceivers in STN. I have said from the inception of the Shield of Truth Network Inc. that there is no place here for egos or hidden agendas. And yes, it has been necessary to root out deceivers over the last several years. Those who wished to subvert the core values of STN.

But we must hold strongly to the truth and remember what we have been told as is noted in 1 Timothy 4:1 which warns us again by telling us that; “Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons.”

We are also told that we must put every potential deceiver to the test. As we see in 1 John 4:1 which tells us; “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world”. Also, in 1 Thessalonians 5:21 we are told “But test everything, hold fast to what is good”.

I felt led to warn us all about this concern through recent events which I experienced. A deceiver tried to gain my confidence, however, my “deceiver radar” was up, and this individual was forced to reveal the truth. You see, as Christian Brothers and Sisters, we can all be compelled to be perhaps a little too trusting, particularly in these contentious times in which we live. The old adage “Trust but verify” is something that we all need to be cognizant of today more than ever perhaps.

You see, if we are not diligent in our discernment, we will be led down the wrong path, not intentionally on our part, but by the gradual and progressive drip of deceit. This may, in turn, lead us into a trap from which we would have a great deal of difficulty in escaping.

I would like to end with 2 verses to consider this month. The first is from Psalm 5:6; “You destroy those who speak lies; The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.” The second verse is from Psalm 101:7; “No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes.”

Please be diligent in your observation of others. Keep your eyes wide open, and your ears perked. The spirit will guide you. When you hear that voice in your head telling you that something isn’t right, or you feel that something is not as it should be, please listen. The Holy Spirit speaks to us constantly, and we need to be listening at all times.

all right if you'll uh take your Bibles and just join me in
taking a look at some things tonight as I said at the closure of that prayer it's it's just going to be a light study
and that's really the purpose of Wednesday nights it's kind of a dress down night doesn't mean we don't talk about the Bible and biblical things but
uh you know certainly you could make a eight-week series out of this but it's
something that I I've come up with recently because it's it's just so
prevalent I I think this is probably the main issue in a lot of people's lives it's become very pharmaceutical nowadays
and there's a huge debate about is depression something that is all mental is it a chemical imbalance and all that
I'm not here to settle that debate tonight I just know it's a real thing and I have three main points that I want
to share with you that pretty much talk about what I believe are scriptural cases for how we
can have victory over depression it's going to come and it's going to go and that's actually my first point is
that it's you know depression is the result of the overwhelmed uh the soul
that is overwhelmed by circumstances and certainly everything would be fine if we didn't have circumstances
because circumstances change uh that sounds like when Bruce um when Bruce's uh son-in-law says oh
the vehicle didn't pass inspection we have another one well that vehicle died and whatever vehicle they have right now
Bruce didn't give any detail but it doesn't sound like it's that great circumstances things change I think
about what Dave just said about his his brother who was waiting for a little bit of time on something that looked like
and was we were you know very certain was skin cancer and because of that
circumstance your life changes the way you're thinking about things the way you're perceiving things it it begins to
change Dana's talking about the things that she's hearing from her doctor and certainly no one wants to hear you need
to learn how to live with chronic pain so certainly you're going to the doctor to try and find a solution and now you
may be hearing something that you don't want to hear because it's difficult all of these things are circumstances
and they do change and they can change very very quickly but it's a result of being overwhelmed
with what is put in front of us and there are examples of depression All Through the Bible
there are examples of it everywhere and I'm not we're not going to go into chapter and verse in this area but I'll
just give you some as an example you read the book of Psalms and you can see how it records different instances of
specifically mournful songs songs of wailing Lament
because Israel desired to go back into the land they desired to go back and be reunited
in Jerusalem and be able to worship there and worship properly they lamented that that's not a
light word that's not you get moved by a a movie scene you know these are not
also tears of joy it's very heavy pain King David wept bitterly over his sin
and he was vexed by that sin to with uh committing adultery with Bathsheba and
then um killing bathsheba's husband Uriah he was vexed by it for many years even
resulting in the loss of his son to an early death and and his son Absalom was
extremely rebellious too that caused the depression for King David King David wanted so badly to take
the presence of the Lord which dwelt in in Cedar and make a temple but he wasn't
able to do that because he was a man of war he had to wait for his son to do that and Solomon certainly did do that but it's amazing to see in Psalm 51 you
you see King David's grief-stricken plea to create a clean heart in me what do you mean by that of
course it was available but that meant the way he felt was pretty rotten pretty bad about his sin
restoring to me the joy of my salvation that doesn't sound like somebody who is enjoying their Christian Life
I don't think depression is wrong I'm like I'm gonna beat my chest up here and go oh yeah that you just need to get
over it folks this is this is we we see these things in the Bible Rachel Sarah Hannah and many others
lamented over their inability to Bear children some of the some of the most
heart-wrenching portions of scripture describe those women and the things that they they were very
uh stricken with I think Hannah specifically is was one of my
favorites to study her in-depth prayer for a child and how she was ready to
give that child to the Lord and she did she did but certainly there were difficulties there and one of the ones I
think is very prevalent too is when Jesus in Luke 24 17 describes the two
disciples who are on the road to Emmaus he describes them he says to them why are you sad
well if everything's supposed to be hunky dory and everything's great and nothing affects me why would these guys
be experiencing grief you know it's that story is amazing too
because Jesus hid himself what he meant by that what the scripture means by that is they didn't see who he really was
and they they look to them and they say are you a stranger here in Jerusalem have you not heard what has happened
and then those two got probably the greatest Cliff Notes
version of the Old Testament he expounded all the things from from the time of Moses
that must be to bring him about but they were very depressed all the disciples uh all the disciples were
depressed as a result of Christ's death so it's not a it's not an unbiblical thing I don't think it's right for us to
stand uh in the Pulpit as pastors or sit in front of cameras and shame people that have depression I think a lot of
pastors struggle with depression it's something that if I'm not careful it can happen to me too and it has happened
before but you have to answer these things with the truth and that leads me into my second point but to conclude
this first point it is is to say depression is common because the heaviness of circumstances are common
but Point number two here truth is the key to victory over depression truth is
the key and the truth is strong sometimes it can overwhelm us what does the Bible say is truth before we go to
John 17 17 if you are there in Psalms chapter 42 I want you to see uh verse
three Psalm 42 in verse 3 says this
oh man I think I messed that verse up I don't think that's the right one
it's verse five excuse me Psalm 42 and verse 5 says why art thou cast down O my soul and why art thou
disquieted in me hope thou in God for I shall yet praise him for the help of his
countenance if you understand the passage here in 42 and 43 which many biblical scholars
believe should just be 42 that's not up for discussion but it's talking about the wickedness of the land the
wickedness of the people and how that was causing Direct punishment and chastening upon the
entire nation and the ones who were faithful the one who were maintaining the righteousness
they were saying we're we're suffering we're going through all this pain but yet they would
remind themselves why are is is your countenance low why are you discouraged
who should we put our hope in and what is the instruction there it says hope thou in God not in the people not in the
nation's ability to get right we get right with God we put our hope in him
now having seen that go to John 17 17. we looked at this very briefly last week
but in John 17 17 we have some of the most encouraging portions of words ever
uttered about truth our whole justice system is built around finding the truth
now it's not being used to find the truth but it is built to find the truth that's
how it's supposed to work it's a wonderful system and by the way it's all biblical you go read the law of the two witnesses
which Shameless plug if you can be here the next four Wednesday uh Sunday nights
as we're getting into the record of God in first John it is an absolute beautiful picture of how the legal
system that God had set up in the Old Testament he uses it to verify himself and the word that he says but anyway
the system that we use to exonerate truth is supposed to find out what the truth
is and it's so important that we recognize what is truth and Jesus says what it is in John 17 17.
he says sanctify them he's speaking about his disciples through thy truth
Thy word is truth and when you see things in the Book of
Psalms where it says the word uh has been elevated over God's Own Name
because it it is God when we study our Bibles we are studying the words of God
these are not words of men these are not cleverly crafted quotes and sayings that
we can throw up on a bio or or get a tattoo of that's not the purpose of
these things they are literally nuggets of truth that we should continue to live
by he said it best in John 17 17 sanctify them through thy truth Thy word is truth
what does it mean to sanctify it's a Greek word hagiazzo boom nailed it which
means to set apart for God's service I want you to think about it this way you have 10 apples and you take one of those
apples and you set it apart for a particular service it's been brought out of that group and it it's going to serve
a purpose whatever that purpose is it's removed it's set apart you are set apart
for God's service by the operation of the truth which is found in God's word it's how you came to put your faith in
Christ even if you didn't trust Christ because you heard a Bible verse if you heard a
Biblical principle it's built off the word of God that's how you came to faith in Christ
without it we would not we Romans 3 none seek after him they are all gone
out of the way consider also second Timothy 3 16 which
we can take a look at that here although you probably know it but second Timothy chapter
3 in verse
16. says all scripture is given by
inspiration of God and is profitable and it gives you four areas of profitability by the way you want profitability
you don't want to be unprofitable that's I'll I'll put it in 2023 terms that's
useless you I don't want to be useless you don't want to be useless we need to know the
truth which is in God's word and this scripture talks about um that this passage talks about the
truth of scripture and it says it's profitable for Doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness
when we know God we know the truth when we know God we know the truth so
then how do we experience victory over depression well there's two specific things that I want to talk about and
they both start with the letter P the first one is praise I think it's I think it's very hard to
properly praise because there's a little bit of shame that has to be broken okay especially in conservative Christianity
which is kind of where we are here at Calvary Community Church okay we don't do a lot of the what would be considered
praise and worship and I'm not saying we should do that and bring that in because a lot of it is driven with emotionalism
but when we do have the opportunity to praise the Lord with spiritual songs we
should do so and it's not like you're singing along with the group
you should sing loudly you should sing confidently and you should sing based off of songs that are true in a couple
of weeks one week from next week I'm going to do I'm going to give you some
great hymns for dark times and we're going to look at the lyrics of these hymns and why I think they're why I
think they're beautiful I'll tell you right now why it is they're built off a truth we're singing bible stuff that's what's
beautiful about it but I want you to see this in Colossians chapter 3. Colossians chapter 3 and verse 16 and
Ephesians 5 19. we're not going to look at the Ephesians reference because it's essentially the same thing but in Colossians chapter 3 and verse 16
there's a command here it says let the word see that again the word sanctify them by truth Thy word is truth all
scripture is given by inspiration of God it's profitable let the word which is profitable and it is what sanctifies you
let the word of Christ dwell in you richly can I ask you a question Ty if
you had a richly amount of money in your bank account would that be a good thing yeah if if whatever have you had in
there if it was brought into the realm of richly we may even be smiling a little bit more this evening you know it
might be going hey some of these circumstances are not that bad we should have that same attitude that
we would have towards a little bit more money in the account we should look at a little bit more of the word of Christ dwelling in US man that's a rich thing
I'm a rich man because I have the word you're a rich person because you have the word we've got the holy spirit that
dwells within us I went and saw beautiful models of Jerusalem in the second temple area and I got to see some
some beautiful renderings of the temple the Bible says that the on the Temple of
the Holy Ghost man did I treat myself in such a way do I think of myself in such a way that is
congruent with what the scripture says about me it's a very beautiful thing to understand
but here we are we we think we don't have enough because we don't have the material things
but getting back to this this command here it says let the word of Christ dwell on you richly how did how do we do
that teaching and admonishing one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs
singing uh with Grace in your hearts to the Lord
so how are we able to have the word of Christ dwell on us richly sing about it
sing praises about it I think what case board does many would would kind of look at and go out mediocre you know he's
doing these scripture songs that's Colossians 3 16. and when you're struggling with
difficult times learn how to sing and I'm not saying learn how to carry a tune
I don't care how it sounds you're not singing for me you're singing for the Lord
I have there there's there's a there's one of my favorite songs and it's funny
because of how I view it and how my wife views it I don't know how I heard this song somehow this CD ended up in my my
1998 Toyota Avalon that had this thing called a CD player you remember that now
not so much you got that Bluetooth you know now you want the Bluetooth 80.0
but I remember this CD somehow found its way in the CD player of my of my car and
Kyla had left it in there and this is this is what she would play every single day at her daycare which
was right down the road she worked there for almost eight something years and she had listened to this CD all the
time so to her it's just background noise but to me I was having a really difficult time when I heard this song I
was really thinking about what's my what is God's will for my life I you know I want to go to school but my schedule's
not going to work and and so I got to make a decision am I gonna move my entire family which is just me and Kyla
up to Chicago and go to school there or what am I going to do and these lyrics
which is a rendition of Psalms 46 10 came on a little kids song very well
done by the way there it's called scripture lullabies but this is what the song said and I still get emotional when
I I played this song today to get the lyrics and I was teary-eyed at my desk because of the truth of this song
it says Be Still My Soul be still and know that he is God Rest quietly rest in
his loving arms for he is watching over you ever faithful ever true so be still
my soul and know be still and know that he is God the second verse goes Be Still
My Soul be still and listen for his voice rest in his peace knowing how much
he cares for He is watching over you ever faithful ever true so be still my
soul be still and know that he is God that's a great reminder for me to what
be still and know that in the hurricane that's going on
is God still God is he still with me he's walking right here with me that's
one of the things this song could say but it doesn't say he's not not that he's just watching over me from above but that he he resides with me
that's a beautiful truth to know friend it will certainly be difficult at first but will learning to sing to the
Lord when your burden is heavy is the process of extremely nourishing therapy to the depressed soul
I encourage you to get in the practice of memorizing hymns and singing those
hymns as you're going through difficult times there's nothing wrong with with doing that we do that right now when our
favorite song comes on the radio from years ago we go oh that was my jam and automatically feelings and memories come
back up we should train ourselves to do that with hymns
there's hymns that are just stuck in my brain and I don't hear them for a while and then boom I'll tell you one of them
right now is on page 420 in times like these we need an anchor in times like these be
very sure be very sure your anchor holds and grips the solid rock this rock is
Jesus yes he's the one this rock is Jesus
his only son something like that be very sure be very sure your Anchor Holds and
grips the solid rock little little truths can we see that
that's true we can find scripture to put little CF dot which means cross reference boom and you can see where
those things are true you're not just singing hopeful Wishful things please pay my rent
yeah I'm just not sure I played these numbers can they come
back on the screen what is that that no we don't no we're singing scriptural
songs and what a blessing that can be but the other thing that we should do and we're going to go a little bit over
just uh just to make sure we cover this because I know it's important is the other word that starts with the letter P
is prayer this is equally important I want you to see this in James chapter 5.
the Book of James is a great book it's a difficult book it's one of the most contested in the New Testament
because it's just not rightly divided but James chapter 5 in verse 13
it just talked about not swearing when things are are difficult right and and he's not talking about like you know
making a promise or something but you know using course language when things are difficult what is the what is the
opposite reaction in which we should learn to do verse 13 is any among you
Afflicted we'll turn it into a q a tonight I'll ask you the question that James asked his writers is any among you
Afflicted tonight we all are absolutely we are going through difficulties what
is the solution let him pray I've said it time and time again and
some of you may think this is the only thing that I say but this is one of the most important services that we have all
week it really is let him pray I've often thought about having it
possible to have these doors open all the time so that people can come in and there'll be somebody who can sit with them and
pray ER is sometimes people I was just talking to Tracy about this because
I was leaving and she was coming in and I I stopped by and rolled down the window and I was talking to her and I said sometimes people say well all we
can do is pray all we can do after we've asked Google and Siri and Alexa and we've saw what
Dennis Phillips says about the weather all we can do is pray that's the best thing that we can do
it should be the first thing that we do we should pray for all the things that
afflict us what is the next thing say is any Mary is there anybody here
tonight that is joyful yes absolutely I would agree let him sing Psalms beautiful strike it up you
first let me hear you you know look what he says in verse 14 is any
sick among you let him call for the Elders of the church and let them pray over him our our Elder board is ready to
do this and we have done this for people we've prayed for them to be healed now
there's a practice in here anointing him with the oil in the name of the Lord some people take that to the extreme and
they actually think that the anointing of the oil is what's what heals a person it's the prayer that does so
it's God responding to that prayer that is in his will but oftentimes we don't do this churches
don't do this you kind of get put on a block and no one actually prays for you I know for a
fact there are praying people in this ministry one of them he prays more than than all of us who have our sight
and that's Tom I I really am able to get to the phone when he calls but you know what is
always there a voicemail with a prayer request and we were just talking about Mr Frank
Heckman who's bedridden and many people would say where's the joy in his life he's found that in prayer
in prayer look what it says in verse 16. confess your faults one to another and
pray for one another that ye may be what healed the effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man a veileth much I really do believe when you look at the banner of truth and you add spiritual songs and
constant prayer you're going to find Healing and I'm not I am not going to stand up here and say it will be instant
but the more you learn to practice these things the more instantaneous it will be I'll I will say that I'm not saying it's
like a secret formula you know I got to do these things and all of a sudden boom we're here okay when do I feel what I'm supposed to
feel but as you walk in obedience to the Lord you become more sensitive to his working I really do believe that I'm not
a big feelings guy but I know and I've learned these things through successful past experiences the more I yield myself
to the Lord the easier it is to feel at peace with what I'm going through some of the hardest stuff I've walked
through is was with Kyla a couple of years ago and and that's the hardest road that she has walked it's prepared
us for many things in our lives I think God did that for a reason and I
know there will be hard Journeys ahead I was talking with someone today who said some of his greatest fears is
losing a loved one I can understand what that's like losing my mother at eight years old seeing her
going to the hospital two years before no no six-year-old kid should see that there's some purpose in that God still
gets the glory but when we look at it from the right lens
it's hard to really find depression when we look at it through the right lens but we do feel heavy because of our
circumstances last one here is in Hebrews chapter 12 and this is my final point which is we
must keep our eyes fixed on Jesus hallelujah amen to avoid the long-term symptoms of
depression I'm just overwhelmed in even the the ability to read these verses here in
Hebrews chapter 12 and verse 1 it says wherefore seeing we also are accomplished about with so great a cloud
of witnesses this is strategical here there is a big warning that was given in
Hebrews 10. you better not misuse the grace that you've been given in this new covenant you better not tread a foot on
the blood of Christ All These Warnings were given but then there's what chapter 11.
by faith Moses by faith Noah by faith Abraham by Faith by Faith by Faith by
faith and you have all these people who live their faith by their actions and by their lives so what Hebrews 12 is giving
us encouragement wherefore seeing we also accomplish the Bible so great a cloud of witnesses that doesn't mean
there's Old Testament Saints sitting down crossing their legs going all right let's keep an eye on Armando today how's he doing
you think he's gonna make it what do you think Noah I don't know he didn't do good last week but he'll do that's not
what this is when it says a cloud of witnesses they are our example
because they bore witness of their faith in God and it says because of what these people
did because of their faithfulness to the word of God look what it says let us lay
aside every weight I think if there's an accurate definition of depression it is
heaviness it's a fog that becomes so dense you can't think clearly but on one subject
you can lay that aside and look what it says let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so
easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us how do we lay aside that weight
of course by the encouragement of those who have gone before us and how they finished well but ultimately this is
what sustained them in verse two and what should sustain us looking unto who
Jesus nobody else looking unto Jesus the
author and the finisher of our faith he started it he finished it now he's
asking us to walk to that finish line keep just keep it going just keep it going
I love the difference between a Sprint and a marathon boy that's that's a Christian life I've seen many young men
start at a pace they cannot keep and they're not serving the lord today and it it burdens me I I don't like it
but it's a reminder to myself you just keep doing what you're supposed to do you just keep doing what you're supposed
to do and the opportunities will come I would have never thought that some of the things that have already happened in
my Ministry life have come to pass in the amount of time that's gone by
it's not me folks it's the Lord and this you can experience that same Victory but you've got to look to the
Lord because you're going to get over this depression that you're going through you may even find victory in it tonight and
you're going to wake up tomorrow and your body's gonna forget what your mind was taught
and there's going to be all sorts of things that try to inform the way you're supposed to think you just keep your
eyes fixed on Christ we look back to the Cross because it's brought us to where we are today but
we're looking forward to the clouds because there's there's coming a day when we're going to be out of here gone
and for our brother in Christ Hormel who passed away this week he's gone he was received up into the
clouds I Believe by an Angelic transport and hopefully you and I get to hear a
little thing called a trumpet and then we go but if not and you find yourself in a situation
where you're dying the end is not near the beginning is
just about there you know you're just about to start eternal life you can have that Joy right now and I'm not saying
it's going to be easy I'm not coming up to you here tonight and saying look up be clean pressed I got everything's great that's that's
certainly not the case you know how many things I've wanted to do since I've gotten back from Israel but this silly
little illness has stopped me like literally it is the most annoying thing and it can be very discouraging at
times but I got to learn to lean on the Lord got to learn to lean alert and know that there's there's power is working against
uh the advancement of the gospel and the teaching of God's word you know what I am glad I've got men that I can lean on
Trent literally getting the the text on Friday night hey I don't know if I'm going to be able to go
you know you see that and you're like okay I was pretty confident I said but I'm
pretty sure but just in case and then like five o'clock or something
or maybe seven o'clock on Saturday night amen you're gonna have to go and he was he was was he not ready
he's ready I'm thankful I got men like that men like Dr Gilbert who are talking about
things about how you know your Bible how we got our Bible I'm so glad he's doing and I'm not doing it I'm just glad
I nailed hagiabs though you know what I'm saying so but and and all of the people that serve
in this ministry thankful for that even when the things are not going great
right now for how I want them to go as far as my health right now but I can we
can trust the Lord for that but how do you find that victory over depression
it's it's twofold and I gave you praise and prayer but I think more often or
above those things it's truth you pray things that are true you sing songs that are true
your countenance will be lifted and you look unto Jesus he started it and he finished it and
he's just asking you to trust him along the way amen if you're here tonight you don't know where you're going when you die it we
use this illustration to clearly show how you can know you're going to heaven if this hand would represent you and me
I'm gonna let my wallet represent sin I put this on top of my hand because the Bible says for all of sin that comes
short of the glory of God now God He Loves Us very much but he does hate this
sin and that sin separates us from him the Bible says in order to get to heaven you have to be perfect just like God you
have to have the the equivalent of his righteousness which is perfection and we all fall short of that that's why we're
called Sinners that word sin means to miss the mark the wages for sin is death Eternal separation from him forever in a
literal fire burning hell which was created for the devil and his angels but is also where sin will be
cast out and that's a very important thing to remember another thing we have
to see too the scripture says there's no good works that can pay for this sin many people think if I do enough
I'll be able to pay this off like it's a credit card debt it's not this only the
only accepted payment for sin is death it's not turning over a new Leaf it's not starting something brand new it's
not making any payment there used to be a dollar in here as a joke from somebody but it's gone now but there's no money
in here because you can't you can't pay for your sin that's part of that illustration the Bible says that not of
work so say man should both that's Ephesians 2 9. this hand will represent God's only begotten son I use it's just
for the sake of the illustration so I mean it reverently but this will represent Jesus Christ and we see in John 3 16 what brought us into eternal
life but what so many people are missing for God so loved the world that's you and me that he gave his only begotten
son that's Jesus Christ that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting
life what's the flash point of Salvation when does it occur whosoever believeth
in him what does that mean you put your trust in the finished work of Jesus
Christ's passion as Luke describes it which is his death his brownish Resurrection by his shed blood we
receive the remission of sin and the moment that you put your faith in Christ you receive as an exchange your sin has
been paid for it's removed as far as the East is from the west and you receive the righteousness of God
so now when God looks to you he doesn't see this sin of which he hates
he sees the righteousness of his son he sees Christ
and so now you go along this life living the Sanctified life which is the daily
denial of sin and living in righteousness but that has nothing to do with your
salvation how do you know you're going to heaven oh I live a good life that's that's not enough
you got a sin payment Jesus has offered that sin payment the moment that you believe on him you
receive as a free gift everlasting life the Bible says that you can know that you have eternal life first John is all
about that there's three different places where it says that specifically we already have eternal life and how
long does eternal life last forever so once you're saved are you saved forever
yes regardless of how you act or how you behave and some people are like what not
saying you should go out and do that but Christ is paid for all of our sin and he will discipline you as a loving father
should and would do and trust me God's not going to go oh I forgot about that one
he will discipline you for for that sin in your life but you can know you have
eternal life by simple faith in Jesus Christ that's the ultimate victory over depression right there
let's go to the Lord in prayer shall we heads are bowed and eyes are closed so no one's looking around if you're on the
internet tonight and that made sense to you I encourage you to put your faith in Christ if you're here in the audience
for the and that made sense for the first time maybe you're trusting in your good works or something else to save you
I I pray that you'd put your faith in Christ and would you just let me know by lifting up your hand that doesn't save
you it just lets me know hey Pastor I put my faith in Christ tonight would you pray for me
I know that most of you here understand that and I want to encourage you because I know how prevalent depression is
it's happened in my life and it I know it's happened in your life you may be going through a valley right now
I want to encourage you to lean on those spiritual songs that we have and they're
called spiritual songs because they're built off the truth of God's word learn to learn to cry out to the Lord
and know that depression is something that is very common it's it's the overwhelm it's the soul that's overwhelmed by circumstances
but learn to look unto Jesus and to pray are you Afflicted pray
are you sick ask your church for prayer and we will pray for you but above all we need to look to Jesus
he started it he's going to finish it he's asking us to trust him along the way
father thank you so much for the examples that we have in your word bring us back here safely for worship on Sunday morning
we pray Lord those prayer requests again we ask that they're all answered in your in your will
in Jesus name we pray these things amen
