• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

  Speaker 2: and our caption for today is teach transgressors your way,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: teach transgressor there is your way. I was still writing
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: notes right while it was my cue to come on,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: and uh yeah, I made it. Thank God, thank God,
• 1:08

  Speaker 2: build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and

  Speaker 2: then we will get underway. Father, We thank you for

• 2:01
  Speaker 2: your voice together, and then do your will together. Please teach,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: help us to teach people who don't know you the way.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. So
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I almost missed my cue when the guy says author speaker,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: his name is Mac author Speaker El David Harris. And
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I was writing really quickly, really quickly on my notes
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: because I know the way. Why was I writing that
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: so feverishly? At the last minute? I was considering in
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the moment waiting for my cue that this lesson writer says,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: based on the scripture that David will treat will teat
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: transgressors your way meaning God's way. Well, well, how is
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: that person? How is David going to do that? How
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: am I going to do that? Why am I going
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: to do that? This is all that popped up in
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: my mind in the last moments. You know why because
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: because because I know the way. Yeah, the broadcast has
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: not broken. I said, because I know the way. There
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: are a couple of things. Now, Jesus said, you do
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: know the way. I am the Way, the Truth and
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: the life. No man cometh unto the Father except by me.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Because the disciples were like, we don't know the way,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Please show us the way. Well that's one thing, but no,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that's what I mean. But there's something more. There's something more.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I know the pathway that transgressors who are becoming saints
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: of God need to take because I have transgressed the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: law of God. The Bible says that when that sin
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: is the transgression of the law, that means that means
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: that I that I as a sinner who has transgressed
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the law of God and worthy of eternal death. But
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: when I receive mercy from God, when I received grace
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: from God through faith that God gave me, and I
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: started to walk the pathway toward holiness. Now I can say, hey, brother,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: hey sister, I know the way, and I want you
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to follow me, just like Paul said, follow me as
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I follow Christ. I know the way. I know the way,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and so I can help you because I know the way. Now,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: there is a reason that some people are reluctant to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: help others get connected to God, and I'll share that
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: in just a moment. There's a reason why some people
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: are reluctant to help others get close or connected to God.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Let me begin. Let me begin with Psalm chapter fifty
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: one and verse seven. The Bible reads, purge me with hissup,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and I shall be clean, Wash me and I will
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: be whiter than snow. And Isaiah chapter six, verses seven
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and eight. The Bible says, your iniquity, the Angel said
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to Isaiah, is taken away, and your sin is purged.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: And then of course, when the invitation comes, who will
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I sin? Who shall go for us? He says, here
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: am I send me? Now? Both David and Isaiah were
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: in awe of God. They were aware, keenly and palpably
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: aware of their sinfulness. But once they were cleansed, somebody
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: needs to start worshiping now. Once they were cleansed, they
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: had the awareness of their cleansing. They had the awareness
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: that it was it was God who gave them what
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: they did not deserve. He gave them holiness, He gave
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: them cleansing from sin. Yes, Jesus died the death that
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: we deserve so that we can live the life that
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: he deserves. This is our full and present awareness in
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Since that is the case. Now, once
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: they're cleansed, once we're cleansed, we step into action, we
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: step into service. We're not reserving anything for our anymore.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: We're saying, where Thou leadest, God, I will follow, et cetera.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: So we can't serve from guilt or shame. We can't
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: serve because we're bracing for some negative thing to happen. God,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: his cleansing qualifies us for the mission. I said, God's
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: cleansing qualifies us for the mission. Sometimes people say God
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: doesn't need human beings to close up the work, that
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: is to share the gospel with people and it's just like,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I know what you're trying to say. But really and truly,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: who can give a testimony better than a human being
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: who was a sinner saved by grace? Who can give
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: a testimony that could say I was sinking deep in sin,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: far from the peaceful shore, very deeply stained within, sinking
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to rise no more. But the master of the sea
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: heard my despairing cry. The Angel didn't have to have
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: a despairing cry, and from the waters he lifts me.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: The angel didn't need to be lifted from the waters
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: of sin, And now safe am I Love lifted me.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: So this is a special ministry and calling that only
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: redeemed humans have. Number two after mercy comes ministry. In
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Psalm chapter fifty one, verse thirteen, the Bible reads, then
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners will be
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: converted unto thee That's because people will see your life
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: and they will say, oh, my goodness, if God can
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: transform you. I've seen you drinking and smoking. I've seen
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: you violent towards your spouse. I have seen you do
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: all kinds of things in the name of God that
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: God does not condone. I've seen you rebel against God,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I've seen you be unkind toward people. I've seen the
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: pride and the puffed up chests that you used to have.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: But now I see you connected to God in such
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: a way that I am so drawn to him. Can
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: you show me the way? The reality is that people
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: who once rebelled who now are choosing to serve God
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: are the best case studies, the best examples of people
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: to other people to say, God is able to do
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: it for you, so your testimony of forgiveness can be
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: someone else's breakthrough. God uses healed people to heal others.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I said a little bit earlier that there is a
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: reason that there is a reluctance on the part of
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: some people to help others to get connected to God.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: You have to beg them, to help beg them because
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: there are people out there dying in their sins and
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: you have to beg them. That's because they have not
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: yet embraced or maybe they embraced and then rejected later,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: but they are not currently embracing the beauty of the
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: forgiveness of God. They are not currently and presently appreciative
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: and empowered by the fact that God has cleansed them. Yeah,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: it's the reality. Yeah, you don't have to text me,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: it's true. Yeah. Number three, worship is restored when guilt
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: is removed. The Bible writer says, deliver me, and my
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. O Lord, open
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: my lips and my mouth shall show forth your praise.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: And there is so much more to say. The fact is,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the fact is, the ones who praise God most are
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the ones who are forgiven most. I think Jesus said it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: The ones who love most are the ones who are
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: forgiven most, as you are forgiven and cleansed. Now you
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: know how to teach people who also need to be
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: forgiven and cleansed. Peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
