If you will, let's turn to Exodus
chapter 8. Just a reminder, two weeks from
now, Brother Eric Lutter will be here, Lord willing. He'll
bring the gospel to you, and I'll put a reminder again, but
for the 19th and the 26th, those midweek services, we won't have
service here. I was trying to orchestrate somebody to get here
to preach for you, but that's proven difficult. There's more
and more open pulpits. We're covering down for Brother
Marvin right now. Lord already took Joe home and
several other places. It's becoming difficult. But pray for Eric as you're able.
We're getting geared up to get to the flies here in Exodus 8. Here in California, you have
earwigs season, at least at my house. And they're a plague of
earwigs. I was taking a vacuum cleaner
the other day to get them all. And then I thought, well, as
soon as they start leaving, what comes? I got a couple big old hats,
and that keeps the flies off of me. I try to walk outside,
and them flies just, my neighbors think I'm crazy. I'm just swatting
at the air all the time, you know. Well, as soon as them flies
die out, what comes? We get dry, ants. Ants is coming. That's what we go through, isn't
it? And as we've been looking at these, and Lord's been giving
me the experiences of having those serpents in my driveway
and all the things that I've been through the last couple
months, I thought, I don't want lice. I don't. I'll take them flies. We're gonna
look at the lice this morning. Lice. I don't want to experience
that, but. The Lord, we remember in these
plagues, He started with that river, all the waters, the birdbaths,
everything. If you had a picture somewhere,
what did he say to Pharaoh? He said, Moses, you go tell Pharaoh,
let my people go. He said he won't. And then you have Aaron lift
up the rod and the rods will turn every drop of water you
can find in the blood. And then he sent Moses, right? And he sent a man to go tell
a man. And what did he say to Pharaoh
about the frogs? He said, let my people go. Thus saith the
Lord, let my people go. And he did. And those frogs came
forth, those loud, stubborn, shape-shifting, false prophets.
They come out of that river that they worshiped. They come out
of the water, didn't they? They worshiped frogs, too. They
had an idol that was a frog. And the very thing that they
thought was just so wonderful was a thing that was corrupt
in every bit of it. This third plague, Lys, the first one come
from the water. This one's coming from the earth.
It's from the dust. But there's no warning. Moses wasn't commanded and Moses
didn't go to Pharaoh and say, let my people go. There was no
warning. that old brother pink pointed that out as he go through
his plagues the the third the sixth and the ninth plague there's
no warnings you get two warnings two plagues and then no warning
then two warnings and then no there wasn't a warning what does
that tell me and you god say he's gonna teach his people something
right what's he teaching us in that the lord does not owe mankind
a warning Well, it's not fair you didn't
tell me. Yeah, he did. Walk outside and look up. Watch
the weather change. Watch a tree grow. Watch grass
grow where you don't want grass grow. And watch grass die where
you're trying your best to make grass grow. He's on his throne. Lord doesn't owe mankind anything. We need to get that right. There's
such an entitled generation throughout this world. Everybody thinks
everybody owes them something. I was privileged to have parents
that taught me that mankind didn't owe me nothing, and God sure
didn't owe me nothing. And I thought, what a privilege
when the Lord gives room for repentance. Like Ananias and
Sapphira, why'd you lie? Satan's filled you. Why'd you
do that? I don't know what you're talking
about. Don't you dare say it to me. Then the wife comes in,
Sapphira, why'd you lie to the Holy Ghost? Room for repentance,
right? Just like Moses, a preacher of
righteousness, standing out there, coming to the ark. Right now
is the time of salvation. Not just today, now. Come, come. No man can charge God with folly. You're unjust, you're austere,
you didn't give us, no. No, he didn't give a warning
on this one, did he? And I thought, That time will come. Paul told
the church at Thessalonica. He said, but of the times and
the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you.
Paul said, I ain't writing a book on end times. I'm not on eschatology. I'm not going to do it. He said,
for you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh
as a thief in the night without warning. Be ready. And the child of God is that
we look for it. Maybe this is it. We can hang this up. This
world just gets darker. I don't want to do it no more. I want to go home. But I'm here,
and the Lord's gave me something to do, and I want to do that.
But if we could go home today, that'd be great, wouldn't it? Exodus, remember? That's delivered.
We're brought out, and they're brought out together. If they
were scattered out throughout Goshen, they're going to shrink
in together as they're coming out. That's a good lesson here
that the Lord's showing us. Don't get between God and His
children. Brother Bob just read that in
Psalm 1, those that prevent sinners. And then it says, and the day
will come when they prevent marriage. What's that mean? Well, oh, you
got to go through our counseling course before you young people
can get married. What? Who are you? No. But don't get between the Lord
and his people and his children. We looked last hour at that perseverance
and that preservation of God, of the saints. He keeps them. He ain't gonna lose one. He said
so. It's so. His name's at stake. His glory's at stake. It ain't
just I'm gonna lose out or we just care about self. As a child
of God, are we here just to get a warm fuzzy and to go to church
and do the thing we do? Are we here for Christ to be
uplifted and glorified? The glory of his name is at stake
if he loses one. So with and his word says it
throughout, and I would caution us, but my one might not want
to do that. You may not want to try to separate and devour
God's people and divide and sow discord and all that. We're going
to deal with it. He will. He ain't going to lose
one. That's his child. That's his child. He'll move
heaven and earth. He'll give nations. He's given Egypt right
here. to let my people go, let them
go. This time didn't warn him. He said, send them lice, cover
them. He's gonna bring those he's loved
everlastingly to himself. And eventually one day we'll
be with him in glory. He said, I'm the Lord thy God, the Holy
One of Israel, thy Savior. I gave Egypt for thy ransom,
Ethiopia and Saba for thee since thou was precious in my sight.
Thou hast been honorable and I have loved thee. Therefore
I give men for thee and people for thy life. The Lord values his children.
He said, Matthew 18, whoso shall offend one of these little ones,
which believe in me, it would be better for him that a millstone
were hanged around his neck, and that he were drowned in the
depth of the sea. He goes on, and he says, take heed that you
despise not one of these little ones, for I say unto you that
heaven and their angels do always behold the face of my Father
which is in heaven. For the Son of Man come to save that which
is lost. For the child of God, this is kind of a continuation,
I guess, from hour one. For the child of God, he says,
they're angels, you're angels. The Lord said, I've set my angels
over you so you don't stub your toe. You ain't gonna miss a step. I haven't seen that, and I'd
be real leery, but it says they have. But the Lord has heavenly
hosts that surround his children. If we could only believe, I said,
faith is just believing the Lord's gonna do what he said he's gonna
do, right? Believe what he says. If I could just believe for a
second, 2nd Kings 6. You remember that? When Elisha
was there and that servant was scared. And he said, hold on. And Elisha prayed. He said, Lord,
I pray that you open his eyes that he may see. Let us see things
as they truly are. And the Lord opened the eyes
of that young man. And he saw and behold, the mountain was
full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. Can
you imagine that if the Lord opened your eyes and you saw
all the way around all these hills? We think seeing a cow
fire helicopter or something. You see nothing but chariots
of fire just waiting. And it says in heaven, those
angels, they just behold the face of the Lord, looking at
him saying, Lord, you say when? We'll go get them and we'll protect
them. We'll do whatever, whatever you say, that's what we're going
to do. I'm assigned to that one. And I just felt, I read that
this week and I felt so sorry for my angels. If they had sin
in them, I'd be like, I got to watch that one? They're looking
at me? Shameful, isn't it? Well, the
Lord's going to deliver his people. How's he going to do that? When
the Lord is going to come, he's heard the cry because of their
taskmasters that he gave them. And they said, I remembered you.
I remember my covenant. You forgot it. I remembered it.
And I'm going to take him out with the power of my right hand.
And he's doing all this through a physical nation that took this
all took place just to show us what he does in the heart to
his people and local assemblies throughout time. How's he gonna
do it? Oh boy, every one of them's gonna
hit the lottery. All their children's gonna be well behaved and become
doctors and lawyers. Their business is gonna be a
booming and everything's gonna be great and the pews are gonna
be full. His ways ain't our ways. He said,
I'm gonna save my people. I'm gonna send them lice. What if he was to teach us something
about that? I pray he does. Let's look at it. Now I want
to tell you this too. Fleas. We'll look next time,
flies. The heading in my study Bible,
not in this Bible. The heading in this Bible says
the plague of lice. The heading in my study Bible says the third
plague, gnats. G-N-A-T-S, gnats. Well, that
ain't what God says. It says lice, doesn't it? There's
a difference between flies and fleas and lice and gnats. They're different. They manifest
different. They're different organisms.
What they do to the host is different. It's just different. They are.
And I thought, gnats don't bite. That's just mankind and just
a driven, I mean, like it's a force of nature. It's an instinct to
take the sting of sin away. Don't talk about that. Don't
bring it up. Because then if you bring it
up, there's going to have to be blood. We don't want to hear about no blood.
And all these plagues, they begin with blood, they end with blood.
We'll see that as we go throughout. Verse 16, Exodus 8, verse 16.
And the Lord said unto Moses, say unto Aaron, remember without
warning, didn't say let my people go, stretch out thy rod and smite
the dust of the land, that it may become lost throughout all
the land of Egypt. And they did so. For Aaron stretched
out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth,
and it became lice in man and in beast." Three quarters of
it. No. All the dust of the land
became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. Just think how
much dust is around here. This is one of the dustiest places.
I've lived all over. I've been around this globe. It's a real dusty place. And
I thought, think how if every speck of dust was a louse. Was a louse, excuse me. Pardon
my English. Was a louse. If it all became
lice. Verse 18, the magicians did so
with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not.
They couldn't do this one. Remember, there wasn't no water
to turn into wine. That's a lie. The Lord turned
all the water in the blood. The Lord turned all the water
in the blood. Where'd they get water? There wasn't no water to get.
It's a hoax. Then they had frogs. Somehow
they made some frogs come out. Well, there's frogs all over. I made a ceiling hobby. It was
already there. They said, make some lice. They couldn't. This
one they couldn't do. So there were lice upon man and
upon beast. Lice here pictures the gnawing of man's nature. Not the fact of a legal presence
or contingency that happens to be so. We're leeches. So will all mankind born of Adam
apart from Christ. We're parasites. That's what
a lice is. The lice is. It's a parasite.
We're trespassing on the Lord's property. We're sinning against
him, spitting in his face, and all we ever do is take. That's
what a parasite does. It's not a symbiotic relationship.
It's like, well, they get some benefits. We take barnacles off
of. No, we're leeches. All we want is to get something
for self. We're out for number one, no giving a thanks, no giving
a praise, no giving of honor, just looking out for number one.
And God said that's going to happen. I thought about it. Well, it's too late to put it
in my notes, but in Psalm 30, or Proverbs 30, it says, there's
a generation that are pure in their own eyes, yet they're not
washed from their filthiness. I'm fine. I've been saved my
whole life. Everything's good, but you ain't
washed from your filthiness. There's a generation how lofty are their
eyes and their eyelids are lifted up. There's a generation whose
teeth are as swords and their jaw teeth as knives. And they
devour the poor from off the earth and the needy from among
men. They just chew on God's people. They chew on the poor
that need the gospel preached to them. And they divide their
words and they say, well, that ain't what I said. And they twist
things and their teeth just razor blades is all it is. And it said
the horse leech hath two daughters. And all they cry is, give, give.
Give, give. There's a big old horsefly, big.
Comes, and all its offspring, and all it can do is make things
just like itself. And all it wants is somebody
to give it something. Don't want to be a blessing,
just wants a blessing. That's what lice are. They're parasites,
and that's us. And it says they came from the
dust. They came to the dust, and all the dust was turned into
lice. Well, where'd we come from? That's just nasty, filthy, lies. I'm a man. Well, where can a
man come from? And the sweat of thy face shall
thou eat thy bread till you return to the ground. The Lord said,
you're gonna work, you're gonna break a sweat until you die to
get your food. For out of that it was taken,
for thus thou art, and to thus thou shalt return. We can cut and divide and come
up with all the ideas of what this lies, this us. God's allowing Pharaoh room for
repentance. He's showing him what he is.
And all the people of Egypt, the whole lot of them, that says
he lies to Goshen. But Goshen's sitting there watching.
The Lord's convicting the sin. This is good. He may save some
folks out of this. Good. What about these lies? I thought,
too, some people are afraid to say things. If the Lord says
it, we ought never be afraid to say it. And sometimes the messages
in the scriptures are beyond PG-13. Just so. There's three types of lies.
There's three types of lies. There's head lies. That's what
we all know growing up and all that stuff, isn't it? We have a thought problem. Do
you know that? Psalm 10 says, the wicked, through
the pride of his countenance, it's all pride, will not seek
after God. God is not in all his thoughts.
They don't think about it. They don't consider it. They
just blame everybody else but themselves. And they give no
credit, honor, or esteem to God. We've got a head problem. We
ain't in our right minds. Peter said, I'm going to preach
gospel, I'm going to stir up your pure mind. You've got a pure mind. You've got to
get stirred up. Turn over Ephesians 2, I know we, same text, learned
something different out of it. It's a living word, you can't
exhaust it. It's amazing, isn't it? Ephesians 2. There's head
loss, we got a head problem. That's, what do you say the,
it's wickedness in high places. What's the highest place on us?
My head. There's wickedness up here. Thoughts
ain't right. The second's body lice. You have
head lice and you have body lice. What's that? That's all the actions
of this unclean body of death. That's us, our thoughts and our
actions. The whole of us, the body. Look here in Ephesians
2, 2. Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course
of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.
That's all of us. People say, I was a good little
boy and girl. Well, then you know something that God don't,
because he said, there's none righteous. No, not one. There's
none that do us good. There's none that understand
it. There's none that seeketh after God. I was looking for
him. He said no! I was talking to
Cameron about this. I think I said it the first hour.
It's so simple. John said if you confess your
sin, he's faithful to forgive you. I'm a sinner. I sinned against
God. He said, well, I made you know
that. I forgive you. And if you say
I haven't sinned, he said you're calling God a liar. You either
believe him or you're saying he's a liar. It's one or the
other. This ain't terribly complicated, but it takes the power of God
to know it. You pray for people? I'm cleaning
off my notes. I missed the last part, too.
You reckon that the land of Goshen was praying for Pharaoh? These
lies come? And they said, Pharaoh, just bow. Come home, buddy. There's room enough in this ark.
We ain't gonna run out of food. You need mercy, too, buddy. Do
we pray for our leaders? We're commanded to. Will the
New Testament come out yet? God changes not. Watch your mouth.
Who are you to reply against God? We pray for Gavin Newsom?
Joe Biden, whoever's going to be in November 6th or whatever,
I don't know, 7th. Who ought to? God save them.
God save the king. Tyndale did that. He translated
the scriptures into English because the Catholic church only let
people have it in Latin so they could be vicars and go in between
sin and God. And they burned him at the stake.
for translating the scriptures. And you talk about a little cocky,
I'd be too. He said, I'll have it. The plow
boy knows more about God than you people in your red robes
do. Two years later, King James Commission said, hey, let's translate
these scriptures so that people could read it. How about that? God saved the king. Imagine if
God saved King Charles right now. I wanted to write about
that. If God saved the president, they're going to make the same
blunders they've been making all along. The debt's going to
go up. They're going to mess up. But our attitude about it's
going to be different. We'll say, well, that's all right.
That's my brother. I probably wouldn't do no better if I was
in office. That's my sister. It'd be different,
wouldn't it? Attitude's different. But we got head loss, we don't
think that way. We got body loss, our actions
don't do that. We don't, in and of ourselves,
we ain't doing nothing good. Nothing good. Well, I handed
out Bibles my whole life. Lord does good. He's the one that's
good. And then the other type's genital loss. Look at verse three.
Among whom also we all, A-double-L, all had our conversation and
time passed in the lusts of our flesh. fulfilling the desires
of the flesh and of the mind that were by nature the children
of wrath, even as others. Head, body, desire, everything
else, we ain't nothing but lies. I said one louse is a louse.
They still call it in England a louse. That's where you de-louse
someone when you take them to jail to get rid of the louse. That's where we get the word
lousy. Lousy. I know some parasites and they're
just mooches and they're lousy. Don't want nothing to do with
them. And I thought all my thoughts are lousy. All of my actions,
all of my iniquity, all the things I thought I was doing good, it's
just consuming and it's revolting. And it's just an itch that can't
be scratched. And all of our desires, it's
so. Lord's true. All of our desires
are solely looking out for number one to consume all our lust.
It's so. Seek ye first the kingdom of
God, His glory. How often do I look out for number
one? It's so. James said, you ask and you receive
not because you ask amiss that you may consume it on your lust.
You're looking out for number one. You're not praising God, you're
petitioning for something for you. He's just shooting them plainly. He
said, do we think, do you think that the scripture saith in vain,
a spirit that dwells in us lusteth to envy? Do you think the Lord
was lying when he said that what's in you is bad? He said, but give,
but he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth
the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. And James is saying,
regardless of all that, we ain't nothing but lies, but he giveth
more grace. God's still gracious. That ain't
just a cold dead fact. That's heartbreaking. Don't that
melt ya? Don't you fall in love with him? I don't want every other week
visitation with that one. I want to live with him. 24-7,
wherever he's at. Well, we're going to be in a
hot place. Oh, that's fine. But it's going to be cold. I'll
bundle up. But I want to be where he is. He said, submit yourselves,
therefore, to God. God is going to deliver his people
from Egypt. And those saints in Goshen know
it. And they see these lies and they think, that's me. And the
Lord's convicted me of that. And look at him. He's telling
you, Pharaoh, hear him. He's telling you, Egypt, hear
him. We don't need your stuff. Keep
what you got and just bow to God. Bow to God. Or in Ephesians
2, look at verse 4. But God, that's what James said,
but God's gracious. But God, who's rich in mercy
for his great love, wherewith he loved us, even when we were
dead in sins, head, body, and desire, hath quickened us, he's
made us alive together with Christ, that in the ages to come, he
might show the exceeding riches of his grace and kindness towards
us through Christ Jesus. If he reveals that to you, I said he
wasn't going to take it away, right? You're going to keep saying
it more and more and more. It's called growing in grace,
right? That's what's going to happen. How do I know that? He
said so. Do we believe him? He's going
to. For by grace are you saved through
faith that in all yourself is a gift of God, not of works,
lest any man should boast, for we're his workmanship. A lice
can't make itself something different. I can't make myself taller or
shorter, and the leopard can't change its spots, and the sinner
can't change his ways. That's to be his workmanship.
Created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before
ordained that we should walk in them. I thought with that
lice, it's in all the land, and it's just itching and nagging.
A couple flies get on me and I go nuts. I couldn't imagine
all the dust. I mean, you're just breathing
lice. Drinking it like water, right? It's all over. How are we gonna be free from
this curse? The loss has to die. We're getting
there, okay? The loss has to die. How's it
gonna go away? Gotta die. Gotta be put away,
as far as the East is from the West. Scripture says in Ezekiel
18, the soul that sinneth, everybody, It shall die. It's going to die. It'll either die in Christ, on
Calvary's cross, being made one with Him, or it's going to die
in eternal damnation. One or the other. That's it.
There's no degrees, there's no nothing, and that's it. The soul
that sinned, it shall die. Period. It says in Galatians
3, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. being made
a curse for us. He was made the lies. He was made me. People get so
much heartburn over that. And the problem is they don't
think they're seeing just boil it down, give it a long enough
time. That's what's going to manifest. That's the, that's the root of
it. Pride, pride, their contention. What's the cause of it? God said
only by pride. When he says only what's he mean? He means only
he, Christ was made his bride. We were, we were in him. And
all that punishment was poured out on him. He bled and died,
gave up the ghost, laid in a tomb. And that sacrifice was accepted
because we have an empty tomb. He rose. The Lord said to him,
well done. Job's done. It's finished. Just like he said.
It's over. He was made a curse for us. He
was made sin. Who knew no sin? That we might be made the righteousness
of God in him. Holy. Unapprovable. Without blame. Before him in love. Not because
he had to. He gritted his teeth so well.
He ain't got sharp teeth. Not to his people. They're not
swords coming at us. That's tenderness. It's love. I wanted to say, if that don't
just melt your heart and make you love him, I don't know what
to do for you. Well, it's because there ain't
no love there. There ain't no life there. Just a cold, dead
stone. But for his people, boy, that'd
just light you up, don't it? Back in our text, Exodus 8. Verse 18. And all the magicians
did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they
could not. So there were lice upon man and
upon beast. This time the magicians couldn't
replicate this miracle. this gracious, tender, loving,
merciful miracle of covering that whole place in lies. They
couldn't do it. And there is so much written.
There's books upon books that just, ugh, read through that.
And I thought, what? Why couldn't they do it? The
Lord didn't let them. Is that a good enough answer?
I'm sitting there arguing until we're blue in the face, just
clinging past Christ. The Lord didn't let them. They
couldn't make life that day. But I'll tell you what was common,
and all these we'll see. In all these plagues, in all
these cases, the magicians could never undo the plague. Sometimes they could start them,
sometimes they could replicate it, whatever, make a smoke and mirrors do something,
make it look like they could do it. They might be able to
get it fired up, but they could never end whatever plague the
Lord sent. Why? Mankind cannot remove the
justice and judgment of God. God must provide himself as the
lamb. He must provide himself as the
payment. And if he provides it, he's going to accept it. That's
it. He says, I require this. And
whatever I require, I'm going to provide. And whatever I provide,
I say, that's wonderful. I gave that. That's mine. It's
showing us mankind can't do it. We can't stop this play. We can't
pray it away. We can't wash it away. We can't work it away. We can't
walk it away. We can't give it away. We can't
buy it away. Salvation's in the Lord. He has
to remove the curse. He did that. It says in Romans
3, God set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood to
declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that's
passed through the forbearance of God to declare. I say at this
time, His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier
of him which believeth in Jesus. So He's just, He's holy, and
He's the justifier. I'm just lies, and God saved
me anyway. He gets a glory for it. Who shall lay anything in
the charge of God's elect? It's God that justifies. That's
a magnificent thing. We can read through that, just
a couple verses, real quick. Say, oh, yeah, there's a bunch
of lies put there. God's working. Look here in verse 19. Then the
magician said unto Pharaoh, this is the finger of God. Do we say
that? I'm talking to myself, because
them flies are getting spun up. And as I walk down my driveway
here in about two more weeks, I'm going to get covered in flies
on my ears and swat and get mad. His finger of God did that. The
Lord's doing that. He's on his throne, isn't he?
It's the finger of God to reveal sin. One with a true speech, one with
a true tongue, that speaks plainly, speaks right, says, I'm louse. I ain't nothing but louse, head
to toe, inside and out. I'm the pest. And Joseph Hart said, a sinner's
a sacred thing. The Holy Ghost has made him so. The Lord said in Luke 11, but
if I, with the finger of God, cast out devils, no doubt the
kingdom of God has come upon you. These magicians said, this is
the finger of God. And the Lord said, I can remove all that.
He said, and when I do, that's a kingdom of God coming down
to you. He's saving sinners is what he's saying. So I told him,
same message. He said, if you go into a city
and they receive you and they love that and you heal their
sick and you look them dead in the eye and you say the kingdom
of God has come down to you. And if they won't have anything
to do with you and they fight you tooth and toenail and they won't
provide for the gospel, they won't want nothing to do with
it. He said, you look them dead in the eye and you say the kingdom of God has
come down to you. That's a finger of God. What's the response to
that? I thought another finger wrote
on a wall, didn't it? Only say good things. It said
you've been in the scales and you found wanting. There's a
need for a savior and he's the fang here. He's the right hand
of God. He's God. Bow to him. Love him. What's the response to that?
A magician said something true, didn't they? Them false witnesses
are going to say something right. Well, that was right. I heard
them and I could tell the difference between right and wrong and what
they said. That's what the word says. Balaam preached through, never
said nothing wrong. Did you know that? Don had a
message on that. He said a good message from a
false prophet. It's true, everything he said. Verse 19, the magician
said unto Pharaoh, this is the finger of God. And Pharaoh's
heart was hardened and he hearkened not unto them as the Lord had
said. What a thing. Do we love him?
We got hard hearts? We got hard ground if that seed
just bounces off our forehead? Things so easily of this world
come in life and death and principalities and just takes our mind off of
those things. Is that us? Or has the Lord plowed us and
watered us and nurtured us and He keeps the weeds out of His
garden? Which is doing. Do we love Him? We have hard
hearts. If we love Him, it's because
He first loved us, didn't He? And then rewind to last hour,
and if He's done that, it ain't gonna go away. Good news, isn't it? Isn't that
better than being covered in lies? I don't want to get covered
physically. I don't want lies. But if I do
get it, I'm afraid the Lord will make me go read that again and
be blessed.
