You have memorized probably to God when you need to encourage now is what I was low noteworthy sermon, you know you need to encourage God has great things in store for you so you take encouragement from that and then what means you have the guy would get on her from accomplishing in your life, what did you have that God will receive the honor from accomplishing in your life. She is important that we look at our relationship with Jesus Christ in the way that is not just about me, but it's about how that God is working in and through my life to release the potential that inside of us and in first Samuel chapter two verse thirty. It says those who honor me, I will honor and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed, and we been speaking about this for the last three weeks as the third week, and the idea of honor is the idea of valuing up writing at recognizing as precious as lazy, such as gold or seminary having great value in our lives and we saw how that's done through the last couple weeks about I give the city of Nazareth, the town of Nazareth when Jesus went there to perform miracles and to minister to those individuals they dishonored him because they said what isn't this Jesus. Progress on. They gave him no honor. They gave him no place and what his words, his words that he delivered to them. They kind of spotlight what this end it, and that type of response you just couldn't bring anti- ally bifaces from jail. The miracles are what needed to be .com Commissioner in the village and community because of the way they approached Jesus OSS. It was at this honor. Then we spoke about the century. Mister generated a Roman soldier and job. There were six thousand in the Legion and there were sixty century, and one Centurion was over a hundred men and their sanctuary and came to Jesus and said my server to say. And Jesus said. While I will come and heal him. This insurance is not an audio need to come just saying the word, and my servant will be healed and in that setting. We saw how that the century and have had an understanding on what authority was any a specific instead. I know that God has given you power, authority, all were this sickness interview say the word. My server will be okay and this this century and was honoring Jesus again high esteem to what Jesus would say, and saw myself that he said, noting the need to come to my house just say the word in my service as well, and in the third story that we've spoken about, is a great woman. All the collateral submission on down sounds like them. So the thought Messiah, Rome for an Asian woman came to Jesus for help, and this was our story last week where the coming around and getting in front of me and Ellen and what a homicidal Venusian woman came to Jesus and she wanted her father be delivered from her illness and prime are demon possession and once again there. She got it that way. This is this a very strange situation because Jesus basically called her a dog in a athletic shoe designer running around staying in front of them. And Jesus is there and in all this model situations was like one review that is why we call this because I hear there a says to her we hope that I have to take care my disciples. Basically I have to take care of them and teach them, and I don't have time to feed the little dogs. It's almost like that. And that means like I will have that running around in them and the lady doesn't become offended. She doesn't walk away upset, Janice. She honors Jesus and she says to him while he was a little dogs to be the crumbs from the table into the said because of your faith because of what you said no and hear your prayers answered and we we look at the situation. Then we see them mentally see how that God was able to how the Jesus was able to look at these people and pick up saving honor and what they were doing and how they were approaching him now. Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs. She knew Jesus was persistently honored him by not giving up by not reveling in the apparent rejection and not waiting so she received the full reward for just a minute on so as you look at the Gospels, you find others and you find other situations that were able to the portray this idea on or in some other areas all on perception. Now, when we think about how lives went on the people which are the people that we find ourselves involved with weights in the situations that we find ourselves doing and my job. The days of the weekend, and so on. We delete find ourselves honoring our even thinking of God when we stop to say Jesus in each of these daily activities. When we stopped to see Jesus being part of our life the way it do we honor him as being arrogant. We just assume that he is there that we pay attention, that God is with us will never leave us or forsake us are delete discounted along in now the spare tire religion in our young think of your spare tire, unless you got a flat. So when we think of Jason swallowed something goes wrong and that we want to know some people blame him for it going wrong and self psych one, religion or relationship is that suddenly see Jesus in each of our relationships is that easy. There are these on the challenges that we have to look at and commonly standing on. I was then very much challenged by couple weeks ago we start out by having the girls come up and they were the cheering squad and we had Janet to be the coach and last as the event of the girls while here's Janet she's a mother, how much do you believe what she tells it, Janet says you're going to be a good squad new believer and the idea was mostly just a mom dry her events that are similar to the mom and she's out and she said. American squad while cognitive approach issue is she really that good or whether she is mom to the coaches is a nationally recognized during coach and she's going to be our coach. Then what happens;-) you're going to be a good squad, so any ideas that squad has to believe in the coach in order for the coach to be able to do the work with the lot right if you ever think of your faith is that that same way that God believes in us. But we have to accept his word so that they can go his word in our life a confusing I would like to come up and out, no posturing that they think that, so God calls us any- analyze and and any is he wants us to hear his words like organ. I will start with forgiveness, visit everything, nothing is valid unless we understand forgive because we don't have a relationship, we can understand the rest of some the relationship begins with God calls each of us all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We did this on Wednesday night. I know that we love you become chargeable. Everybody is in a remake on something wrong. So God says that I constantly Ball State now do we honor his work honoring his word is saying while yet we've all seen. We've all done something wrong, but he also says if we confess our sins, he will forgive us. Now this is where the honor begins to the understanding begins to make application God has called us and gives us his word do we accept it if we accept his word that God prevents and whenever we are for Gammon are sins of the failures of our life. God removes them from us. Then Linda said his remote. The VFX on his word can be even greater in our life, and he can do more for us. They the village of Nazareth near the village of Nasser Jesus shows up becomes that of villages, says any race of them from the prophet Isaiah and tells them this day. The Scripture is fulfilled, but the messiahs with you, Jesus says that the village of Nazareth, the village of Nazareth says watch your just a car of your son don't you think you are. They dishonored him and everything. Jesus wanted to do in their life. Stop it was stopped because they couldn't get beyond their beliefs or their dishonor of Jesus blots and they are alive, we find ourselves in the same situation that we hear the word of God. I challenged by this, I chose mine all the time with attitude perspective on hold lose hope when things don't go right. Believe God 's word. Why honor God 's word in my life when things don't work out if I honor God 's word in my life. I am allowing God to work in the that if I don't honor it. I'm like stopping God from doing his best in the right. I know this kind in the meantime and in the church and I'm most years all the non- empathic, the Rhonda said Dave interview recounting vision one and only exact truth. I'll be sixty one in October, but the so the idea is that I fear your God working in my life because I don't always honor his word to the extent I need to is another description when read in James chapter and James chapter one verse twenty through twenty five, Jesus teaches us that there is a difference between a wise man and a policeman. They and the difference between a wise man and a flawless man is his response to what you already know the difference between a wise manner, Polish man. It is response to what he already know a wise man follows up on what he hears while a foolish man does not take James one twenty two twenty five, but drive yourselves doers of the word, and not mere hearers only and not merely hearers who delude themselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in the mirror for once he has looked at himself. He's gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was the one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become forgetful, a forgetful hearer but an effectual gloominess man shall be blessed in what he does the challenges here is if we all do not forget that God is Auburn are alive that God is going to bless us with what we do on few weeks ago we said to be encouraging a July sometime. Many people are not encourages because they don't believe in themselves they don't really believe in what they're saying when you offer encouragement you really believe it. You really say something and someone and you say to them, not to the job, while not perfect, but so what is perfect. The challenge is, if you see if we mean a compliment. Left unsaid. It's a wasted thought a compliment. Left unsaid is a waste of. Why can't we be the most complementary people. Why can't we complement ourselves and complemented what we all want to be. They had an army doll. I appear to be forgot that stuff complement the idea is they run a lot of complements that people feel good about, visit, read on. It says for thirty days. Treat every person you meet as the most important person on our you will find that they will begin trading in the same way for thirty days. North America Gravis up about complementing again encouraging for thirty days. Treat every person you meet at the most important person on earth. Okay then what's next, you will find that they will begin treating you in the same way, you will find that they will begin to treat studio feel like you're not important you ever feel like what you do with& will will will start placing value on other people, and upon what they do they go this way, Nazareth. Jesus Nazzaro says you're just the carpenter 's son. Jesus had come to tell them he is the son of God, and they say, you're just the carpenter 's son. He couldn't do things for them. You can't make a continually shouting down my disbelief and dishonor. So what happens in our lives when we began to honor people, when we began to honor others and and and bring out the specialness. The uniqueness of who they are as an individual. I even align no, you're going to pick up the qualities that you see that are good and you're going to accentuate them now you will find that when you begin training other than limited its review in the same way you begin to treat them. One guy once I was up guy came to the city came to decide became limber story and making the stop and this is an actual event is a godsend. Weber and older gentleman greets him and that he came from. It came from New York City again becomes the whim verities of the water people and liberalize and moving in the wise gentleman says will what with the people life where you came from New York. Their cell on personal people do not know your name are you not know who they are yada yada. Watch out for the crops everywhere and you got, you just got a beware of you know where you where you part in what you do. And in I just can't trust anybody in the now lies guy from women wiseguys remember the wise gentleman from when this is what you know echo like that around here to say that there is another guy came from Forest Hills in Lawrenceville and is moving away. Bernie says, you guys and what kind of a barn, and in England very. The guy says Lola, when people are poor skills. This is all people or sales. They're really good. You are your neighbors are friendly. The people around your friendly in all units have lots you can leave your values and Yost is great having people around and noticed the kindest people know what kind of people eliminate AL gentlemen says, you know, they're the same, people here. What was the gentleman, the old wise gentlemen line or was he just kind of pointing out your attitude determines the people around what you bring with you is what you will receive here now. You will find that they will begin treating you the same way. How does that work how does that world look to you out of that world, look at you exactly how you look at the world. You see, you will find that they will begin treating you the same way that your treating them, and out of that world, look at you exactly the way you look at the world, if you look at the world has certain way that their eyes for sin robbers and in all, whatever you're going out there and look at how that same perspective do something positive for someone else regularly no one is useless in this world. Reason why things the burdens of the others around them you say you look at your world and you began to have that world you will find that to you in that same line they see you in the same line that you are giving to them first. Daniel two thirty, says those who honor me, I will honor those that despise me shall be lightly esteemed estate the context of this verse is a high priest had to thought and his sons say the least. They were very crooked. They were, they were they were priests of the time representing God to the people, but they did a very poor job and Eli also was over the praise I a and the priests who were serving. So not only his sons, but also other priests and a lie was was not doing a good job. In fact, he was guilty of laundering his sons among God by letting them continue in their sinful ways and he didn't try to correct them. He didn't try to bring them back in the appoint and direct direction because laughing dog and that dishonor God, and it dishonored the religious system and it began to present people a wrong image of God, so the question for our lives is is there a relationship is there a situation either days either events in our life as their work that you will and people work and the work that we do. Do we allow them to even though you looking you continue to do things, even though you know that they are wrong. You allow it in your life. If we didn't wear life. That he allow his and those under his leadership to continue to continue in the wrong behavior continued in the wrong action and godly classes. Eli told to honor me, I will honor and all to despise me, will be displaying so God telling a lie. You haven't honored me so therefore you cut yourself off from what I want to do in your life and what I wanted to do through you what I wanted to do through your children, your new prevented me from doing that. So onerous as essential key to receiving from God for sending up to thirty five, says I will raise up for myself, faithful priest, so is telling a lie on the afternoon. I'm going to happen, you know this thing is aware to stay. I separate myself from you. Because you homage honored me in so those who do honor me I will set up in less than Mark chapter fourteen verses one through nine. Mark chapter fourteen verses one through nine. Now the Passover and the feast of unleavened bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers. The law were looking for some sly way to arrest Jesus and feel him but not in the fees they said, or the people. Ryan and while he was in Bethany reclining at the table in the home of a man known as Simon the leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume made of pure lard. She broke the jar and poured perfume on his head, and some of those present were saying indignantly to one another why this ways the perfume. It could've been stalled for more than a year is way and the money given to the poor and they revealed her harshly leave her alone. Jesus said, why are you bothering her. She has done a beautiful thing to me before you will always have with you and you can help them and you can help them any time you want, but you will not always have the she did what she could. She poured perfume on my body before hand to prepare me for my burial. I tell you the truth, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world what she has done will also be told in memory of her. I tell you the truth, wherever the gospel is preached what she has done will be told. Her desire was to honor Jesus, but this outpouring of anointing oil upon Jesus positioned her to be honored by him, her desire was to honor Jesus and what she did position her to be on. She wanted to do something for Jesus and she did and what bad happened. What happened was she position herself to allow God to water her angel and visit. This is the kind of that. The hard part. God wants to do things in our lives. God wants to honor us God wants that is blessed by doing the Pentagon wants to do good things, and I will how you doing something and eyes when we have no desire to honor him when we unload desire to give God credit when we have no desire to to bless and went to to recognize his word, we stop God from honoring us. We stopped off and letting us just like the town of Nazareth, the Nyhan I look at myself when I say how many times have I been like the people of Nazareth that I am not really saw how God I could've honored God and all and and and something and how that I stop God for blessing my life and the challenge is that we might have enough faith to hear God speak to us his word like forgiveness. God wants to forgive us so that we can become the person he created us for the God had in mind whenever he created us in our mother 's womb, that that person dog wants the blessing for all that good stuff and the seeds of greatness, and this seems a potential mistake, but we can become. And he wants to water down and rolled out and make that person flooring. All we have to do is honor his word, and when we do, he unleashes that in our life and blesses us how much faith does it take sometimes just enough faith to stick around and keep asking how much what I have to do the honor is paying attention to his word, and allowing his words, etc. life first Samuel, two thirty, says those who honor me, I will honor but those who despise me will be disdained the state has the idea that someone is unworthy of consideration of respect those who disdain God is aware place themselves in a position where God can't bless them, and that's not what we want in our lives. B in the place where God 's blessing can be part of us. Jesus was dishonored by the people of Nazareth in a lifestyle and Jesus never reviewed those who honored him, but he praised them for recognizing him as one worthy Jesus is worthy of honor are our sleep is where the. The praise and honor that we get to him. And whenever we allow his word to touch our lives, it brings good into our lives. You know, some people say on. They know we have these flowers around the house and in their name, their blooming. The other really grown in out if you saw them when they started they were just a little plugs and plots. You know, and stick them in whatever now, there may get blown out full-blown and blooming in everything he will say how to get that miracle grow miracle grow go browse at it wrong once a week. I watered them every day with miracle grow. I watered them every day with miracle grow. Why has I know there's not enough fertilizer interbred I thought fifty four. Now I'm, you know, and now there is blue linen are all replace what I want to. What a great rainbow we got. I had a great time with miracle grow and I enlisted them. I just kept pouring on and sometimes whenever the plot gets down the bottom. You know that stuff. I think something on a enough water down a little bit in an arm our baskets and we haven't rather garage door. They're just all over the place. You know, like while working at a big basket miracle grow. It's a miracle they grow. I don't thought I'd stop on their what is God. He wants to do in our life miracle grow. Allow God to bless you for it. See if I don't put that I put the plants in the final water but miracle grow on a discounted buyout, but when I apply the miracle grow. It's like allowing them to develop to their full potential and sometimes I look at our lives, and that's why sometimes you need to be encouraging me to be God 's voice speaking to other people to be an encouragement to them. Sometimes people just need to hear something good you can be that person that says it shouldn't. But what happens is that becomes something that comes back to you. It comes back to you and then we give it. It comes back to us. We came up with his back to us honor God 's word. Okay, don't be Nazareth be the will be the centurion that honor God 's word and it came back into his life were opening ourselves up for God 's blessingYou have memorized probably to God when you need to encourage now is what I was low noteworthy sermon, you know you need to encourage God has great things in store for you so you take encouragement from that and then what means you have the guy would get on her from accomplishing in your life, what did you have that God will receive the honor from accomplishing in your life. She is important that we look at our relationship with Jesus Christ in the way that is not just about me, but it's about how that God is working in and through my life to release the potential that inside of us and in first Samuel chapter two verse thirty. It says those who honor me, I will honor and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed, and we been speaking about this for the last three weeks as the third week, and the idea of honor is the idea of valuing up writing at recognizing as precious as lazy, such as gold or seminary having great value in our lives and we saw how that's done through the last couple weeks about I give the city of Nazareth, the town of Nazareth when Jesus went there to perform miracles and to minister to those individuals they dishonored him because they said what isn't this Jesus. Progress on. They gave him no honor. They gave him no place and what his words, his words that he delivered to them. They kind of spotlight what this end it, and that type of response you just couldn't bring anti- ally bifaces from jail. The miracles are what needed to be .com Commissioner in the village and community because of the way they approached Jesus OSS. It was at this honor. Then we spoke about the century. Mister generated a Roman soldier and job. There were six thousand in the Legion and there were sixty century, and one Centurion was over a hundred men and their sanctuary and came to Jesus and said my server to say. And Jesus said. While I will come and heal him. This insurance is not an audio need to come just saying the word, and my servant will be healed and in that setting. We saw how that the century and have had an understanding on what authority was any a specific instead. I know that God has given you power, authority, all were this sickness interview say the word. My server will be okay and this this century and was honoring Jesus again high esteem to what Jesus would say, and saw myself that he said, noting the need to come to my house just say the word in my service as well, and in the third story that we've spoken about, is a great woman. All the collateral submission on down sounds like them. So the thought Messiah, Rome for an Asian woman came to Jesus for help, and this was our story last week where the coming around and getting in front of me and Ellen and what a homicidal Venusian woman came to Jesus and she wanted her father be delivered from her illness and prime are demon possession and once again there. She got it that way. This is this a very strange situation because Jesus basically called her a dog in a athletic shoe designer running around staying in front of them. And Jesus is there and in all this model situations was like one review that is why we call this because I hear there a says to her we hope that I have to take care my disciples. Basically I have to take care of them and teach them, and I don't have time to feed the little dogs. It's almost like that. And that means like I will have that running around in them and the lady doesn't become offended. She doesn't walk away upset, Janice. She honors Jesus and she says to him while he was a little dogs to be the crumbs from the table into the said because of your faith because of what you said no and hear your prayers answered and we we look at the situation. Then we see them mentally see how that God was able to how the Jesus was able to look at these people and pick up saving honor and what they were doing and how they were approaching him now. Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs. She knew Jesus was persistently honored him by not giving up by not reveling in the apparent rejection and not waiting so she received the full reward for just a minute on so as you look at the Gospels, you find others and you find other situations that were able to the portray this idea on or in some other areas all on perception. Now, when we think about how lives went on the people which are the people that we find ourselves involved with weights in the situations that we find ourselves doing and my job. The days of the weekend, and so on. We delete find ourselves honoring our even thinking of God when we stop to say Jesus in each of these daily activities. When we stopped to see Jesus being part of our life the way it do we honor him as being arrogant. We just assume that he is there that we pay attention, that God is with us will never leave us or forsake us are delete discounted along in now the spare tire religion in our young think of your spare tire, unless you got a flat. So when we think of Jason swallowed something goes wrong and that we want to know some people blame him for it going wrong and self psych one, religion or relationship is that suddenly see Jesus in each of our relationships is that easy. There are these on the challenges that we have to look at and commonly standing on.

Then what happens;-) you're going to be a good squad, so any ideas that squad has to believe in the coach in order for the coach to be able to do the work with the lot right if you ever think of your faith is that that same way that God believes in us. But we have to accept his word so that they can go his word in our life a confusing I would like to come up and out, no posturing that they think that, so God calls us any- analyze and and any is he wants us to hear his words like organ.

Daniel two thirty, says those who honor me, I will honor those that despise me shall be lightly esteemed estate the context of this verse is a high priest had to thought and his sons say the least. They were very crooked. They were, they were they were priests of the time representing God to the people, but they did a very poor job and Eli also was over the praise I a and the priests who were serving. So not only his sons, but also other priests and a lie was was not doing a good job. In fact, he was guilty of laundering his sons among God by letting them continue in their sinful ways and he didn't try to correct them. He didn't try to bring them back in the appoint and direct direction because laughing dog and that dishonor God, and it dishonored the religious system and it began to present people a wrong image of God, so the question for our lives is is there a relationship is there a situation either days either events in our life as their work that you will and people work and the work that we do. Do we allow them to even though you looking you continue to do things, even though you know that they are wrong. You allow it in your life. If we didn't wear life. That he allow his and those under his leadership to continue to continue in the wrong behavior continued in the wrong action and godly classes. Eli told to honor me, I will honor and all to despise me, will be displaying so God telling a lie. You haven't honored me so therefore you cut yourself off from what I want to do in your life and what I wanted to do through you what I wanted to do through your children, your new prevented me from doing that. So onerous as essential key to receiving from God for sending up to thirty five, says I will raise up for myself, faithful priest, so is telling a lie on the afternoon. I'm going to happen, you know this thing is aware to stay. I separate myself from you. Because you homage honored me in so those who do honor me I will set up in less than Mark chapter fourteen verses one through nine. Mark chapter fourteen verses one through nine. Now the Passover and the feast of unleavened bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers. The law were looking for some sly way to arrest Jesus and feel him but not in the fees they said, or the people. Ryan and while he was in Bethany reclining at the table in the home of a man known as Simon the leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume made of pure lard. She broke the jar and poured perfume on his head, and some of those present were saying indignantly to one another why this ways the perfume. It could've been stalled for more than a year is way and the money given to the poor and they revealed her harshly leave her alone. Jesus said, why are you bothering her. She has done a beautiful thing to me before you will always have with you and you can help them and you can help them any time you want, but you will not always have the she did what she could. She poured perfume on my body before hand to prepare me for my burial. I tell you the truth, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world what she has done will also be told in memory of her. I tell you the truth, wherever the gospel is preached what she has done will be told. Her desire was to honor Jesus, but this outpouring of anointing oil upon Jesus positioned her to be honored by him, her desire was to honor Jesus and what she did position her to be on. She wanted to do something for Jesus and she did and what bad happened. What happened was she position herself to allow God to water her angel and visit. This is the kind of that. The hard part. God wants to do things in our lives. God wants to honor us God wants that is blessed by doing the Pentagon wants to do good things, and I will how you doing something and eyes when we have no desire to honor him when we unload desire to give God credit when we have no desire to to bless and went to to recognize his word, we stop God from honoring us. We stopped off and letting us just like the town of Nazareth, the Nyhan I look at myself when I say how many times have I been like the people of Nazareth that I am not really saw how God I could've honored God and all and and and something and how that I stop God for blessing my life and the challenge is that we might have enough faith to hear God speak to us his word like forgiveness. God wants to forgive us so that we can become the person he created us for the God had in mind whenever he created us in our mother 's womb, that that person dog wants the blessing for all that good stuff and the seeds of greatness, and this seems a potential mistake, but we can become. And he wants to water down and rolled out and make that person flooring. All we have to do is honor his word, and when we do, he unleashes that in our life and blesses us how much faith does it take sometimes just enough faith to stick around and keep asking how much what I have to do the honor is paying attention to his word, and allowing his words, etc. life first Samuel, two thirty, says those who honor me, I will honor but those who despise me will be disdained the state has the idea that someone is unworthy of consideration of respect those who disdain God is aware place themselves in a position where God can't bless them, and that's not what we want in our lives. B in the place where God 's blessing can be part of us. Jesus was dishonored by the people of Nazareth in a lifestyle and Jesus never reviewed those who honored him, but he praised them for recognizing him as one worthy Jesus is worthy of honor are our sleep is where the. The praise and honor that we get to him. And whenever we allow his word to touch our lives, it brings good into our lives. You know, some people say on. They know we have these flowers around the house and in their name, their blooming. The other really grown in out if you saw them when they started they were just a little plugs and plots. You know, and stick them in whatever now, there may get blown out full-blown and blooming in everything he will say how to get that miracle grow miracle grow go browse at it wrong once a week. I watered them every day with miracle grow. I watered them every day with miracle grow. Why has I know there's not enough fertilizer interbred I thought fifty four. Now I'm, you know, and now there is blue linen are all replace what I want to. What a great rainbow we got. I had a great time with miracle grow and I enlisted them. I just kept pouring on and sometimes whenever the plot gets down the bottom. You know that stuff. I think something on a enough water down a little bit in an arm our baskets and we haven't rather garage door. They're just all over the place. You know, like while working at a big basket miracle grow. It's a miracle they grow. I don't thought I'd stop on their what is God. He wants to do in our life miracle grow. Allow God to bless you for it. See if I don't put that I put the plants in the final water but miracle grow on a discounted buyout, but when I apply the miracle grow. It's like allowing them to develop to their full potential and sometimes I look at our lives, and that's why sometimes you need to be encouraging me to be God 's voice speaking to other people to be an encouragement to them. Sometimes people just need to hear something good you can be that person that says it shouldn't. But what happens is that becomes something that comes back to you. It comes back to you and then we give it. It comes back to us. We came up with his back to us honor God 's word. Okay, don't be Nazareth be the will be the centurion that honor God 's word and it came back into his life were opening ourselves up for God 's blessing
