Galatians 3:1-4
1) Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified?
2) I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
3) Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?
4) Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
Luke 16:19-31
19) "Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20) A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21) and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man‘s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22) It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham‘s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
23) In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.
24) He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.‘
25) But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in like manner, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.
26) Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that none may cross over from there to us.‘
27) He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father‘s house;
28) for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.‘
29) But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.‘
30) He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.‘
31) He said to him, ‘If they don‘t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.‘"

These young fantasy and move into a spiritual realm words ungodly thing whereby they become all-powerful, all-knowing, everywhere present, they take on a different quality is a difference between having fun. Went than dressing up like a princess and dressing up like a demon in a Windows evil become evil. When is the bewitching taking place. For we start to move away from the truth of God 's word. I began to accept something that is, well, that's true. But yet in and around that is now not where we want to go there exists individual. This is the amount that put while I don't I don't watch it now, but there's this program I hybridize, I'd shall serve as front of him. I don't want the same things. You know a lot that advertising comes with what something else know what set of the advertisement comes for the back. The other things you just is. As we were watching whatever we started verbally. I love my long gone now. This is different in a you pay attention while I was doing one of my channel surfing things and I came across this individual that I had seen before and I hadn't seen them for a while and then this I've come across him again so I'm assuming that he was off for a while and get back on by his individual that talks with the debt and that, and people come to him and seek them out. They want to know if their loved one is doing okay on the other side as they want to know that they went this individual, and in the Old Testament than in places like that. They were called medium meetings are individuals who serially have just things that will help them to talk to the dead. Well, we need to make sure that we don't become familiar with these things because they are not in the event that the scriptural perspective of this is evil. It is wrong and that it is very real and is very railed the spiritual realm is very real. There are angels of God. You know what the one singing angels of paint and God 's angels watching over you. What's, what's, and I've never let the ladies to sing it. Angels of God are watching over you angels are with us as a bunch of Angels in your but we don't. We don't draw attention to the Angels, the heavenly beings will draw attention to them because they are messengers from God. And they will help us and they are there, but the greater emphasis of our life is that the Holy Spirit is with us, the greater emphasis of our life, is that Jesus Christ lives within our heart. So our emphasis Dennis upon Christ and his love and his power. The blood of Jesus Christ, the cleanses us from setting the blood of Christ, the protects us and like that but we had in our society. People who present themselves as spiritual mediums and they will talk to the dead weather, not talking to the dead. They're talking to imposters now we know that there are two types of Angels. There are good Angels and there are fallen angels fallen angels are called demons, fine Angels got their position by rebelling against God. They were created by God. They were put in place by God to worship God, but there is this guy named Lucifer, Angel, he was the next to God, Angel, he was very powerful laws very beautiful and he was very influential, because he led a third of the angels in rebellion against God was overthrown, overthrow God guess what didn't work you kicked out in a whole bunch got kicked out, so they are called in is to deceive and to destroy and bring deception into God 's creation, and now we have individuals that and I had not only today but this was no backing King Kings fall. Yes. King Saul went to visit the witch of Endor in reality talk about the things which is an stuff in helping these programs and and what they do is make Britain a talk about the things of familiar hierarchy is almost like to become familiar with them and it's like an hour like in the shelves that Arnold Arnold Schwarzenegger and one of his movies defeat Satan picnic. I began fitness is this car commercial where this guy is being enticed and any in-house like he's being enticed. Then he makes up his mind by one by a car and then this. This one was enticing and disappears as he was in double counting. He made a card. He defeated the in the devil by choosing a car, but the witch of Endor, and it is important that we understand. And the reason I'm doing is saying this today and was was a difficult decision to preach on this are to speak on this because it's something that it is very common in our society, but yet very deceptive in our society and we have to know the truth so that we guard ourselves that we don't be caught in the ally the deception being installed in the case all and he had banned, forbidden. This witchcraft and practice in Israel while he decided because profit had died and he decided that yet all he needed some guidance from the other side. He had heard from God. So what does he do, he goes to this medium. This switch to conjure up to be in touch with the other side while while he is there, though this medium is going through her process and all of a sudden she is scared out of her wits, because as she was talking to was the real person. The real profit King wanted Samuel to come back and talk to him, and the medium who is used to talking to imposter 's demonic people who are in my spirits who are familiar with the dead calm and talk to the living as if they are the person they decide they deceive the meeting even the mediums are deceived and here is this witch who taught the proper God gives permission for the prophets said we would come back and win this medium sees the prophet who is the real thing. She is terrified and that she knows while your bouquet and I see scared to death now because she rocks she got a hold of the real person. Of course that that's one of the situations we have another situation is a rich man and Lazarus, an instructor with chapter sixteen we find where there is this desire to cross back and forth between heaven and hell and between heaven and the earth between unit between yell the dad and the people who are living there was once a rich man, especially draft the latest fashions, wasting his days in thing conspicuous, conspicuous, whatever that word is consumption, so he is here is that this guy. He's very wealthy and everybody knows these wealthy any really for trades and Southwell, a four-man name Lazarus, covered with sores had been dumped on his doorstep all the list for this is the poor guy only lived for was to get a meal from scratch off the rich man's table is best friends with her dog who came and licked his sores. So we have a God who is extremely wealthy and we have a guy was extremely poverty now, it doesn't mean that the rich go to hell for go to heaven and resist using Mrs. Jesus is the one telling the story you die. This format. He died he was taken by the Angels. These are the good guys, the Angels of God, he's taken by the Angels of God, and is escorted to the lot of Abraham in the Old Testament when people died. They went to paradise and it was a place of holding until the resurrection, and so when Jesus will parentheses hear our message. When Jesus died upon the cross descended into the lower parts of your led captivity captive, he went to those who were in the bosom of Abraham. Those who were covered by the Old Testament soccer vices of the humble lamb, and so on. He led them to heaven is Jesus Christ, the resurrection and the life descended into hell, took the keys of death, hell and the grave from Satan and he is the possessor of life he gave those that calendar. He gave all that the mankind. Mankind blew it when he said, now Jesus Christ of the back and reclines so got that the Angels then took Lazarus to Abraham 's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried in hell and in torment, he looked up and he saw Abraham in the distance, and Lazarus in his lap. He called our father Abraham, have mercy. Have mercy, said Lazarus to dip his finger in the water to cool my time. I'm in agony in this fire. So Jesus again is the one telling this and how is a very literal place heaven is a very real place. We don't need to be afraid of life, then we don't need to be afraid of death, because Jesus is the giver of life, and with Christ is in our heart. We are safe in this life and in the life to come. We are saying nothing can separate us from the love of God, we are safe in the arms of Christ, so never allow fear to come into our life, because if it tries to get in you. Just remember I'm safe because I'm saved crisis forgiven me of my sins and the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed upon the cross covers me if you're ever in a place where the hair on the back of your head stands up and you know that this is an evil place. They just stop when you pause and say Jesus is with the blood of Jesus Christ is upon me. He keeps me safe. They now, I've been there on the places no, because I was on a mission from God place of ministry and you could just send it and know that God is there. He is your safety. Now, verse twenty five Abraham said child. Remember that in your lifetime you got the good things in my hazards. The bad things, meaning that he's referring to his character. The character of people who are Christians look for helping others. The character of this rich man was obvious that he wasn't a Jew, a righteous Jewish individual because Lazarus only wanted straps. Anything to get them. This rich man, Wetherington Lazarus the scraps on his table. Besides, in all these matters. There is a huge chest and so he's telling Ms. Richmond. You can go back and forth you can weekend we can come here and you can come to me as a child in between us and even if he wanted to. Nor can anyone cross over from huge loss. There's no crossing over. There is no going back and forth. The rich man said that, let me ask you father sent him to the house of my fathers, where I have five brothers, so we can tell them to score and warned them so that they won't end up here in this place of torment. Abraham answered, they have Moses to have a proper sitdown in the score, but they listen to them. The admonition is Jesus again telling the story you have the Scriptures to read it is the Scriptures to become our foundation of our faith and our relationship. It is the Scriptures that set things in motion for us to know what the truth is to know where life is to know that we have life in Jesus Christ. It is eternal and amen and here in this case, Abraham is telling they are rich man in hell they won't listen even if there's no crossing over there is no one going back from the dead to tell them they should be righteous. They should change the way, what happened whenever Lazarus was raised from the dead. They remember what they wanted to the Lazarus than one kilo, they wanted to kill him. The Pharisees and the Sadducees, the religious rulers and leaders in Israel wanted to kill Lazarus and Jesus with a raise from the dead and now this rich man says send them back, send somebody back to tell my brother so that they will listen to sit there and listen. If they won't listen. If they won't listen to the prophets and the Scriptures that I can elicit anyone raised in the bed. I know father Abraham, he said. But they're there. They're not listening. They're not listening to the Scriptures. If someone came back from the dead, they would change their ways. Abraham replied, if they won't listen to Moses and the prophets were not going to be there not going to be convinced by someone rising from the dead. If someone came back to them from the dead, they would change their ways and they will, we have Jesus who came back from the dead who have Jesus was given us the truth of his Word. Jesus is the only one who can declare to watch the truth of what is on the other side. If you want to know is somewhat someone's ability like on the other side. Ask them while they're living it out if I asked you what is heaven like you're going to tell me and I can tell you what heaven is like. Based upon the Scriptures that when some one dies. I have first-hand experience with this. I've been with hundreds of people when they die. The people who have Christ in their heart are not worried about where they're going the minorities, elders no, the struggle with death is getting there dying for Christian is never really a struggle ninety eight I know some people can be anxious about that that sister personality, but ultimately inside there is a piece because they know what's coming. And for you and I has believers and we have believers have died will have gone to heaven. We don't have to ask them if they're okay, we know they're okay my mom. She died along give thirty years ago, so my mum died two years ago if I live to be ninety, which is twenty five years from now, and the Bible says a thousand years. This is a day so there's three hundred sixty five thousand days in our lifetime. That amounts to one in eternity. So if I live twenty five years. How many minutes is that in eternity. So if I live to be a hundred, and I don't have and I know how molecules, David, I just got here. How did you get here having is a heaven is a place that is prepared for us. Jesus says I go to prepare a place for you. Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life. No one the father but by me that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. And when the blood of Christ is applied to our life, we don't have to worry about where were going. We know what were going at the same blog that cleanses us from our sins and gives us the hope of eternal life is the same Christ who comes to us and gives us hope for today. We don't have to worry about that while young. What is the greatest frustration of a Christian. I didn't do the right things. I I fail I I I didn't make it. And Paul tells the Galatians were talking about the bank, you will begin to did you begin this walk on your own will know Jesus forgave me. My sense while if Christ has forgiven you understand how you think your little live a Christian life without it at all like what you think you're doing it to do this on your route. So when we feel frustrated this because we're looking at the wrong looking at life from the wrong perspective. We want to look at our life from the perspective of Christ. We need more help. We need more help and the destruction comes when we people become so familiar with the things that are wrong with life in the evil that is in life and we began to accept evil as a natural part of life. Because you look at people on some of the individuals on TV. They would talk to the dead and ended the sad thing is, people want to know if their loved one is okay on the other side. If you don't believe in Christ. How can you even believe there is another side the other side is a Christian principle. Heaven is a Christian believe and resurrection is a Christian belief. A bodily resurrection and eternal home. Heaven is a Christian principle and to believe are somehow think that everybody goes to heaven is not a Christian principle. People who are forgiven who believe in Jesus Christ have eternal life and in our in our society. We haven't even to the point now were evil, know the movies and it's been a month of hollow wean in the one channel has been all they offer these Halloween horrors shows you know it all Friday the eighteenth or something. Enough is enough and and and is just like it is a continual horror thing of evil and and then you get on these these these movies that are supernatural and you have people pretending supernatural acts and supernatural things, and we're not supernatural were human but we have a God who is supernatural. We have a God who is all powerful. We have a God who is standing with us. We have a God who holds us in his hands. We have a God who keeps us in the worst of circumstances. We have a God who will walk with us to the Valley of the shadows we have a God who will make sense out of that which doesn't make sense. We have a God who will comfort us a God who will give us strength to God will give us hold a God who lives within our heart. I gone it will clear up our foggy think I go through will help us think the right thought and I will help us do the right things. I got to win with us in every situation and an end. Paul says to the Galatians, you heard this, I told you this, any outside me that Parliament did you think that you began this thing didn't begin on your own is God who begun and began it in you and don't think they put this one are you going to continue this craziness are you going to continue this craziness. The craziness of confusing that which is biblical principles that would star what is more of the ideas of our society, our world on evil. Don't get them confused. We don't have to talk to the dead. We talk to the one who is living. We don't have to worry about the deck. Their fate is sealed. We need to worry about the living. They are a lot okay worry about you attacks worry about you and how what we are going to allow the spirit of God the Word of God, the teachings of Christ, think about, think on these things. Think other things that are lovely that RPR than ever good report, if there's any virtue of this any praise, think on these things, but the love of God, hold your hearts and your minds, but the power of God make you feel safe in his presence, but don't let the godless Spirit of God direct you in your life and in your walk because it is these things that are going to keep us in this life and for eternity. Amen. Let's stand it does not preach for a while now& I had. We give you right enough in the sense that we know the difference between right and wrong. The difference between good and evil, the spirit of God this the spirit of God will let you know what is good and what I don't know what people I don't care what people know what's good allow God help me to know what's good I can say that God help me to know what's good and good means what is right with him. And when it doesn't measure up with a good back away, not yours. Walk away, walk away. Jackson told grandma about the enough that it had done Jackie Maitland, Jackson doesn't party it up with a defrauded watch this again uses it. You didn't say this on the Jackson when he goes the body. I got to get them writing all these things and then, before he goes about the meter walk away, walk away there. I'm writing this on my own. I found a drought so I figure out to do this while whenever we are confronted with, and this thing comes up in front of us. Let the word of God, the Spirit of God let you know what is right and if we fight against that which we know is right. You do feel that check inside it says David you to go there and you don't create problems for yourself doesn't say UW lost put in hell you create problems for yourself spiritually walk away. This is the way, walk ye in it. That's right think this is the way, walk units. Amen, so know the truth and the truth will set you free know the truth and the truth will keep you free. Amen so blessed father, thank you for the truth of your word for this spirit could you give us an Lord. May we be childlike in our faith that we just hold onto you knowing were safe in your arms and nothing in this life or the life, the come to never separate us somewhere safe. There were happy and were capable of wanting supper and lunch and everything we describe a little bit. We get that a man hath like that for safe in his arms and were grateful for the baby. Amen. Grateful for the babies. That's it. So God bless you and will know the difference between right and wrong. Amen, amenHim for one reason for that is what is in little will you he is is is is is is is where God is Allah is in line and I will will serve as a is in the anger had a will is and he is will and will and will will will you you are smart enough to go in half is allotted in the know is all a learner driver is not a whole lot as he is in and will is and will will monitor as it will end there was a lawyer in your while he is he is and that is all he will] what is known as he okay on the. The one I is will and a is is is only as a reason in their own way as law will will and in and in and you will you and I have. I will review a and I will be in a will is Jesus and are bruises on the way you will is is an and will and will and in a I and is is is is and he will believe that God and the dinner and in and in and be a not you and is and is what happens when we are in I will a will and will I and you and I I him as I know I and you and you and is is is is is is an and I is will you will and will and is will he will he he he he and he is a very they are in will is is I will while I is holding on his or in an and I will will will help of the eye is so you will leave you know will and you and will and will and is is is is will you and your letter is read as they will be in. I is a you a will you are holy and you will you are being a good a is and I is an and and a small bar superhero things lead the child.

Of course that that's one of the situations we have another situation is a rich man and Lazarus, an instructor with chapter sixteen we find where there is this desire to cross back and forth between heaven and hell and between heaven and the earth between unit between yell the dad and the people who are living there was once a rich man, especially draft the latest fashions, wasting his days in thing conspicuous, conspicuous, whatever that word is consumption, so he is here is that this guy.

Anything to get them. This rich man, Wetherington Lazarus the scraps on his table. Besides, in all these matters. There is a huge chest and so he's telling Ms. Richmond. You can go back and forth you can weekend we can come here and you can come to me as a child in between us and even if he wanted to. Nor can anyone cross over from huge loss. There's no crossing over. There is no going back and forth. The rich man said that, let me ask you father sent him to the house of my fathers, where I have five brothers, so we can tell them to score and warned them so that they won't end up here in this place of torment. Abraham answered, they have Moses to have a proper sitdown in the score, but they listen to them. The admonition is Jesus again telling the story you have the Scriptures to read it is the Scriptures to become our foundation of our faith and our relationship. It is the Scriptures that set things in motion for us to know what the truth is to know where life is to know that we have life in Jesus Christ. It is eternal and amen and here in this case, Abraham is telling they are rich man in hell they won't listen even if there's no crossing over there is no one going back from the dead to tell them they should be righteous. They should change the way, what happened whenever Lazarus was raised from the dead. They remember what they wanted to the Lazarus than one kilo, they wanted to kill him. The Pharisees and the Sadducees, the religious rulers and leaders in Israel wanted to kill Lazarus and Jesus with a raise from the dead and now this rich man says send them back, send somebody back to tell my brother so that they will listen to sit there and listen. If they won't listen. If they won't listen to the prophets and the Scriptures that I can elicit anyone raised in the bed. I know father Abraham, he said. But they're there. They're not listening. They're not listening to the Scriptures. If someone came back from the dead, they would change their ways. Abraham replied, if they won't listen to Moses and the prophets were not going to be there not going to be convinced by someone rising from the dead. If someone came back to them from the dead, they would change their ways and they will, we have Jesus who came back from the dead who have Jesus was given us the truth of his Word. Jesus is the only one who can declare to watch the truth of what is on the other side. If you want to know is somewhat someone's ability like on the other side. Ask them while they're living it out if I asked you what is heaven like you're going to tell me and I can tell you what heaven is like. Based upon the Scriptures that when some one dies. I have first-hand experience with this. I've been with hundreds of people when they die. The people who have Christ in their heart are not worried about where they're going the minorities, elders no, the struggle with death is getting there dying for Christian is never really a struggle ninety eight I know some people can be anxious about that that sister personality, but ultimately inside there is a piece because they know what's coming. And for you and I has believers and we have believers have died will have gone to heaven. We don't have to ask them if they're okay, we know they're okay my mom. She died along give thirty years ago, so my mum died two years ago if I live to be ninety, which is twenty five years from now, and the Bible says a thousand years. This is a day so there's three hundred sixty five thousand days in our lifetime. That amounts to one in eternity. So if I live twenty five years. How many minutes is that in eternity. So if I live to be a hundred, and I don't have and I know how molecules, David, I just got here. How did you get here having is a heaven is a place that is prepared for us. Jesus says I go to prepare a place for you. Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life. No one the father but by me that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. And when the blood of Christ is applied to our life, we don't have to worry about where were going. We know what were going at the same blog that cleanses us from our sins and gives us the hope of eternal life is the same Christ who comes to us and gives us hope for today. We don't have to worry about that while young. What is the greatest frustration of a Christian. I didn't do the right things. I I fail I I I didn't make it. And Paul tells the Galatians were talking about the bank, you will begin to did you begin this walk on your own will know Jesus forgave me. My sense while if Christ has forgiven you understand how you think your little live a Christian life without it at all like what you think you're doing it to do this on your route. So when we feel frustrated this because we're looking at the wrong looking at life from the wrong perspective. We want to look at our life from the perspective of Christ. We need more help. We need more help and the destruction comes when we people become so familiar with the things that are wrong with life in the evil that is in life and we began to accept evil as a natural part of life. Because you look at people on some of the individuals on TV. They would talk to the dead and ended the sad thing is, people want to know if their loved one is okay on the other side. If you don't believe in Christ. How can you even believe there is another side the other side is a Christian principle. Heaven is a Christian believe and resurrection is a Christian belief. A bodily resurrection and eternal home. Heaven is a Christian principle and to believe are somehow think that everybody goes to heaven is not a Christian principle. People who are forgiven who believe in Jesus Christ have eternal life and in our in our society. We haven't even to the point now were evil, know the movies and it's been a month of hollow wean in the one channel has been all they offer these Halloween horrors shows you know it all Friday the eighteenth or something. Enough is enough and and and is just like it is a continual horror thing of evil and and then you get on these these these movies that are supernatural and you have people pretending supernatural acts and supernatural things, and we're not supernatural were human but we have a God who is supernatural. We have a God who is all powerful. We have a God who is standing with us. We have a God who holds us in his hands. We have a God who keeps us in the worst of circumstances. We have a God who will walk with us to the Valley of the shadows we have a God who will make sense out of that which doesn't make sense. We have a God who will comfort us a God who will give us strength to God will give us hold a God who lives within our heart. I gone it will clear up our foggy think I go through will help us think the right thought and I will help us do the right things. I got to win with us in every situation and an end. Paul says to the Galatians, you heard this, I told you this, any outside me that Parliament did you think that you began this thing didn't begin on your own is God who begun and began it in you and don't think they put this one are you going to continue this craziness are you going to continue this craziness. The craziness of confusing that which is biblical principles that would star what is more of the ideas of our society, our world on evil. Don't get them confused. We don't have to talk to the dead. We talk to the one who is living. We don't have to worry about the deck. Their fate is sealed. We need to worry about the living. They are a lot okay worry about you attacks worry about you and how what we are going to allow the spirit of God the Word of God, the teachings of Christ, think about, think on these things. Think other things that are lovely that RPR than ever good report, if there's any virtue of this any praise, think on these things, but the love of God, hold your hearts and your minds, but the power of God make you feel safe in his presence, but don't let the godless Spirit of God direct you in your life and in your walk because it is these things that are going to keep us in this life and for eternity. Amen. Let's stand it does not preach for a while now& I had. We give you right enough in the sense that we know the difference between right and wrong. The difference between good and evil, the spirit of God this the spirit of God will let you know what is good and what I don't know what people I don't care what people know what's good allow God help me to know what's good I can say that God help me to know what's good and good means what is right with him. And when it doesn't measure up with a good back away, not yours. Walk away, walk away. Jackson told grandma about the enough that it had done Jackie Maitland, Jackson doesn't party it up with a defrauded watch this again uses it. You didn't say this on the Jackson when he goes the body. I got to get them writing all these things and then, before he goes about the meter walk away, walk away there. I'm writing this on my own. I found a drought so I figure out to do this while whenever we are confronted with, and this thing comes up in front of us. Let the word of God, the Spirit of God let you know what is right and if we fight against that which we know is right. You do feel that check inside it says David you to go there and you don't create problems for yourself doesn't say UW lost put in hell you create problems for yourself spiritually walk away. This is the way, walk ye in it. That's right think this is the way, walk units. Amen, so know the truth and the truth will set you free know the truth and the truth will keep you free. Amen so blessed father, thank you for the truth of your word for this spirit could you give us an Lord. May we be childlike in our faith that we just hold onto you knowing were safe in your arms and nothing in this life or the life, the come to never separate us somewhere safe. There were happy and were capable of wanting supper and lunch and everything we describe a little bit. We get that a man hath like that for safe in his arms and were grateful for the baby. Amen. Grateful for the babies. That's it. So God bless you and will know the difference between right and wrong. Amen, amen
