This is a machine transcript of the sermon. It won't be completely accurate of what's said in the sermon.
My sermon is the perfect person, but I really like it is the perfect body but is losing was trying to look up perfect body on the Internet. You can imagine what he got. So yeah, it's it all. He was looking on, trying to come up with an illustration uses the perfect body will work faster. You can't do that so it kept coming up with my picture enough, just a joke and of course with them. But anyhow the perfect person is an end-to-end meaning the perfect body is the body of Christ and how that we need to see what that body entails. And it means more than just eye a person 's looks their size or shape or their gender is more than just that. The perfect body of the body of Christ and how that that body interact somehow that the body of Christ relates and when we spoke in the Sunday school about wisdom and wisdom is his, not just the accumulation of knowledge. That's a philosophy where wisdom is the knowledge and the application of that knowledge to everyday events to our everyday life. And so what we're doing is we are accumulating knowledge and never taking that knowledge and how does that translate transfer to how we live. That's wisdom and God says, if any man lacks wisdom, he see a full dozen. Nobody's foliage now and is in the forest Gump is a stupid is as stupid does. And I know restless use word stupid. I'm sorry about that. For those of you who have been off-limits for your kids and that's all right. It's a good thing to be off-limits for some words and specially that one because we can throw out there quite easily, but something this is just dumb. No edge is no way around it. The only they just don't they can find a way out of the only can they can go left or right without being you know industry in this picture and lesson this morning. Another illustration was even always felt fully sparse and why because their egos walking down the road the wrong direction. Again, you know, there always lies, and they don't even know their loss. So the perfect body. The body of Christ is one that which belongs to Jesus Christ, which is the believer you and I as we fit into the body of Christ we find that each person has their own spot their own function and that each part of our body has a way of helping and aiding the other parts of the body. This Scripture is in Romans chapter eight versus nine to eleven and same text that we used last week but if God himself has taken up residence in your life, you can hardly be thinking more of yourself than of him. Anyone, of course, it has not welcomed this invisible but clearly present God, the Spirit of Christ, won't know what were talking about, but for you who welcome him in whom he dwells even though you still experience all the limitations of sin, you yourself experience life on God 's terms. We experience life on God 's terms to which we are so prone to think that if you have enough faith. We can't live life on our terms and instruct God how he spoke to do things doesn't work him found that out yet you well enough we did, we cannot our faith does not put God on on it in our chart. God is the outline that I for my life and this is what I want you to do to make this happen. That's not what faith is. We find that life we are living life on God 's terms. It stands to reason documented if the alive and present God, who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life. We have sinned and fought border D we ask God to come into our lives. Forgive us and if he has lived in God, who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life. He'll do the same thing in you than he did in Jesus bringing you are alive to himself one of the things that went on in our and knob when an armed wisdom in our Sunday school is learning about the book of Ecclesiastes, and how that Solomon is arriving at these different conclusions as he experiences them. He puts it in the perspective that all of us no matter how wealthy or how poor were all equal in the aspect we will stand before God with nothing but ourselves to speak up to answer for. So whether we are the wealthiest or whether we are the poorest, we still have the responsibility of standing before God with whom we are and as we look over the Scriptures, we see that were not an isolated island yacht in the Scripture talks about if you cut off your finger is laying on the floor is separate from the body and it loses its effectiveness. It doesn't do nobody any good anymore. I saw our lives are ineffective if we think were islands separated from the rest of the body we are part of the body of Christ and as part of the body of Christ. We have a function that we base they are right. I'm really not that important while trying kind off your little talents even has an effect upon my taking the latest so that it's even the then effective on your body. It has an effect. So everyone has a part of the body is a part of the body of Christ, we have to come to the place were we realize that we are part of this body part of the greater body of Jesus Christ is not just a local body. It is a worldwide body and we all have our part. Our function presently here in this place and in the greater body of Christ around the world. So the God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life to do the same thing in you than he did in Jesus bringing you will live to himself in the ball things we stand before God and what God lives and breathes and you and he dies as surely as he did in Jesus, you are delivered from that Ted life you are delivered from the life in which you think you were debt that you had no purpose. You have no reason that you can't see beyond your own life and what the influences of what's going on and how that you can take care of you if you can't say beyond that stupid is as stupid does we find that that that life you are delivered from it, with his spirit living in you is the spirit of God that is alive and honest. That makes the difference. It would be it. Would it be nice if we cut and and and again, this is self-improvement self-help philosophies and thought that you can do this on your own, you meditate this knowledge about putting your life to go think this takes twenty one days to make a habit. So let's change in overall slaves. The habits so let's make good habits become slaves to them, and it's all about what you do, how you think and what you all backups that you can make it to wherever you can get rid of think and grow Rich, you can hot hollow influence people by your thoughts and words and actions and mannerisms. If you touch your chin. That's a good thought. If you touch your neck, your being choked by their presence. Jenna if you're with people under how a server holding their neck. You're choking him. If you take your thumbs and put them in your pocket. That means you lost it. But if you got two thumbs out. It means you're in charge. Geez, no body language that we are in someone's presence that you you give the keys if JR body language tells the whole story about what's going on. And Jesus is telling us to belong to the body of Christ, now belonging to the body of Christ has certain things certain qualities. While this what we spoke about last week 's very thing life on God 's terms. God can be trusted even when his ways are mysteries to watch God can be trusted even when his ways are mysteries to were living life on God 's terms. We don't have the plan. We know the outcome of the plan, and we know that God is working the plan, but we can't always see we don't know all the things you're happen tomorrow. We don't know what's to happen by next week, but does we live in the body of Christ, and in that body we are safe and we can trust God even when we don't understand his ways so the first thing we spoke about last week was the nominee. Remember, it's all major hand for things not about likely was the heart, thank you. Just, you know that the high if were going to have the body of Christ would not have a heart and the Lord seat is not usually the Lord sees not as a man saves for man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks where on the heart. She and Ray isn't what it appears to be God looks at the heart. The motive success or failure. What was the motive was the intent to hurt with the intent to destroy God knows that while what about wrong prayers you never have a wrong prayer you have a wrong prayer. Think about that while it didn't hurt what to seek God knows what you want to say okay, God knows what you want to say. Sometimes we try to say the right thing and don't you people get upset over God chance. Why because you knew what you meant to say some people will say flowering things in an art that is line after God knows that. So anyhow, so as to have us a good heart, a good heart, a heart. The desires truth in love and and and and righteousness before God. The second is a sound mind. A new authors on that one for God hath not given us a spirit of fear, God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and how my sound mind cells online means sensible stupid is as stupid does sensible wisdom is the application of knowledge and truth to my life. We want to have a sound mind and we also spoke about how the download salvation, basically, is knowing that we are saved, knowing that we are forgiven and what happens. It protects our thoughts are so many things out there trying to get your thoughts. The Salt Lake things trying to initiate thoughts and get us going in the wrong direction salvation and our relationship with God guards our hearts, our minds the relationship guards those things Garrison Garrison anyhow Garrison warm regards them, salvation, fourth one is caring hearing faith comes by hearing Stephen F inhere to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith, we hear the word of God, and it has an influence upon our minds, our hearts, our actions and today we're looking at today were looking at on a weekly royalty them out young aspiring year. This is both taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, that's part of who we are noticed anything that doesn't go here one of these things is not like the other face then see the everything to take his seat, although together. How can you say something and see to wonder that so here's a piece of chocolate and but what I was enabling the taste isn't seeing it. It was been on the floor and step on anyone want to taste and see greater in you allocate want to see him take on faith, and saying I like your government taste and see what I said is true, it is a piece of chocolate. The weather on the floor. They got stepped on items that want to did you aptly derided at the clock to run to clean it. So we find that taste and see, is tasting to understand. So we see that I have a Hershey kiss that has been walked on and dropped on the floor and are you willing to taste it and see that it is correct. Well, the opposite and in the Scripture is taste the goodness of God. Sample his bouncy sample. His grades, his love and forgiveness sample what God is who God is and then see that it is correct that when we ask for forgiveness. We are forgiven. Take care, and that which God has given us in his word tasted experiences and what you experience it, you begin to see or understand salt taste to make a discovery that we might see the goodness of God taste insight taste and site make discoveries, so the body that is perfect as a mouth that will taste also a mouth that speaks Luke six forty five a good man out of the good treasure of his heart. Notice how that the Scripture makes connections between the heart in the mouth, tasting and see there are connections you see we are not isolated. One aspect of our body is not isolated from the other. We touched we feel we think we experience we have possible with all of the things that come out in our body language because I can say that I am at peace. But you know I don't fear anything that I really don't get angry, but what's going on. What I'm saying doesn't match the expression) number one. Situation which in and on the hospital there is lady and she in no she had her hands on the rails at her knuckles were white and I'm asking her what's wrong she says nothing. I said oh you frightened no, I said, you know, we are going, who Joshua started testifying and she didn't. She couldn't tell you that you once I do that because you are to say it would mean that it might happen then. She's scared to death of it, and there are lives we are scared to death because of what we're thinking maybe not what we are experiencing, and it's important that we have the wisdom to think to know to get the connection between our hearts and our minds to get the connection between our tasting and are seeing and that we allow the spirit of God to do well. Our lives in a way that influences our body. One, the peace of God that passes all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds that I am at peace. Why, because God is with me, and nothing can separate me from the love of God. I have tasted the love of God, and I have. It's more than just the knowledge it is something that holds my heart. The same happens that were nailed to the cross on the same hands that hold a broken, the same God who says, my peace I give unto you, not at the rug is unto you, if the same peace of God that allowed him to go through the crowd of the crucifixion and that the persecution and the suffering because there is a knowledge that overtaken there is a knowledge and experience that is greater than the experience that we are having. I have a knowledge of a God who will see me through, then nothing can separate me and that knowledge, I have experienced that I have tasted. I have seen it, and therefore as I now encounter life. I find that God is there a good man out of the good treasure the good treasure out of the good treasure out of the good treasure, a treasure chest. I treasure chest out of the good treasure chest of his heart he bring it forth that which is good, but an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart, bring it forth that which is evil, for the abundance of the heart his mouth will speak for the abundance of the heart his mouth will speak so we find that we began the body of Christ we become part of the body of Christ because of our heart and our relationship with Jesus Christ and how that our heart is forgiven, how they are hard to the feelings of the wounds of our heart are thereby, Jesus himself who holds us and those imprints on his hand. The nail prints in his hands. Either imprints that are holding our hearts in its brokenness and how that that that a place of security in Jesus. I find the treasures and I began to speak about it, and so the heart is the seat of my treasure. The heart is the seat of my words and my actions for with the heart man believe it unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. So our heart confesses our mouth confesses. What is in our heart of hearts as a way of bringing confession, evil treasures bring out evil, yet you you been around people who are just destructive in their words, I think about this comes from watching too many Westerns now I was at one with the Kevin Costner and he goes out in the West Indies. The lone soldier and did some of the two thousand wolves dancing with wolves left it that enables you I is and has these their needs. There around this little pond, you know, these washing in whatever they have this whole thing looks over and there staring at them as a deer in the water is watching and helpful of the whole pool is poisoned because of the watching animal in the water. Sometimes people are like that, that there their life is just full of Jesus is dead men's bones. Their life is full of place in their life is an intellect you know it. It's like you have to see it and you sometimes you don't have to see it to know that it's there. You can smell it, you can tell it by their words and their words are destructive to the words of my mouth. It get you every of the commode is the Komodo dragon mode. It was felt that it is it Komodo dragon young this thing is a big lumbering animal. It's that they can be huge. Like twenty feet long. They can be huge and are slow your letter. However, this thing needs until now, it doesn't. If they can get close enough and sneak up enough to just bite something, there is enough bacteria and its mouth that that animal will get infected and die just by a nip this great from its mouth. There are some people that just a few words from their mouth is so destructive, and so infecting the people will begin to die from their words and these are the things the evil intent. The people 's heart, and that's a treasure, but this is the only way to survive if only way to survive is to infect other people to the point that they will die. And that's with a little you see, God has a whole different perspective of life and of words, a font set of actions of a heart treasure that is able to think to pray the love, to forgive, to let it go to get rid of the dead bones. The dance. The dead treasures that are affecting our heart and our senses and are our words, our vocabulary. It affects everything and God wants us to get relevant and how to get rid of it. We forgive putting God first. Some people and some things and some events that have just been like that Dragon has put an infection in the system, what would I do about what the only way they know to live, but I'm not going to die while they are going through their living process. I'm going to ask for forgiveness, and I'm going to turn that life over to God, and I'm a focus on my life and what God has for me to do what God has for me to live let God deal with the hearts of your heart. My heart, let God forgive us, but God committed to heal the brokenness and feel the loneliness because God knows that Jesus knows exactly what it is like to be well dead respectively for somebody else's actions misguided actions. You know the we would like to be wounded for somebody else's misguided actions and thoughts, and he who better than the two common human woundedness of other people 's actions upon our hearts like to clean up the well-liked. Oddly enough, that treasure, but the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart speak and building edify God allow the contamination of the Dragon don't allow the contamination and the infection of that dragons who influence our hearts and our words anymore. So what do you want to create with your words. What do you want to create with your thoughts. What is the dream that God has placed in your heart what is the dream that God has placed their if it's not working, change what you are creating change your words, your drain created with the words up with the word of God because God has given us our dreams and he is coming together with our wisdom and our understanding and his Word and his spirit to create something the outlook of evil is to infect to destroy to constantly work at eating away at that's the effect of evil. God 's effect upon our life is forgiveness is healing his restoration is hope it's piece 's joy is understanding. God wants to bring all this about it. So God 's word as we are part of the body of Christ. We speak we hear God 's word as we speak that word into our live by remembering and by praying and talking about it, God 's word. What if God looked in on us. Instead, all while you know that David, he's failed again. But that's not the failure unless the person with the know you got this problem is done at the present with that problem that the person with that diagnosis. We put a diagnosis auditing got your driver like us, we would be in trouble because they diagnose things and people never let go of the diagnosis, but God diagnosis things and he has what is necessary for the healing and he knows what the problem is, but he knows more. He knows better what we can become an soul in the process. God looks at us and it other diagnosed the problem. God tells the problem. This is what you can become the let go of the problem unless become this. Let's put our sites over here. Let's allow the Spirit to put a treasure in your heart and from the treasure. Allow God to speak to think you can thank God spots you can, by his word is where desires for us to have truth and love, forgiveness, and we can think God 's thoughts and put them into words that encapsulate our dreams and we begin to pray and speak in seeking go in those direction. He looked beyond my faults and saw my name the song I like failure misfits, which is seeing by his word by his grace by his mercy. I am in creation, and created a new and the most thing that we have the most powerful tool that we have is the words that speak the treasure of our heart to edify tubules to exhort to encourage faith comes by hearing itself as I hear the word of God. If I hear faith as I hear, and as I see it. I tasted I can taste this, we can trace the victory of the taste of victory ever wonder that the mentoring what I can taste it in the air. I can taste success is that sky like a vacancy. The abundance of the word skills are hard to fill the chambers of our lives and we can taste the word and then verifies how long it is. How wonderful it is as though the word is our hope. And from this position of the words speaking hope the word of life, the word of faith, the word of thankfulness. The word courage. The word of possibility is a speech is the best way to pick out the wise person from the full pickup in our Sunday school lesson this morning. Speech is the best way to pick out the wise person from the fool speech is the best way to pick out the wise person from what we say we belong the body of Christ is greater than our individual, isolated, self-discipline cannot and won't yell off on our own. God has brought us into his body. We had become his child. Any use part. We are part of him. He is part of us and our speech and against what the next one is talking James three eight, but the tongue can no maintain and it is unruly evil, full of deadly poison. No one ever you see a snake that spits out this time. That's not the poison at this feeling and sensing the year and what's around so that it can strike Romans three. Their throat is an open sepulcher with their time. They have used to see the poison of asps is under their lips with a bunch of scriptures that talk about that, but that's not the point. Psalm thirty five and my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness of thy praise all the day long. My time will speak the praise of God and God 's righteousness and goodness of God lived, and his mouth was opened immediately and his timeless and he spoke any praise God. God has away all influence seeing losing icons ever pray for somebody is bound to be silent while John is right for us to speak God is praying for us to speak. Not saying amen is enough. I don't want either him or her to speak to botch it out. They might get the wrong impression. God is empowered us to speak the word of truth and first Corinthians thirteen, though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels by the amount mode and I don't have love in my heart as the molten nothing more than climbing symbols of beating drum acts chapter two verse twenty six therefore did my heart rejoice, and my time was glad. So we find that what is hard, as reflected in our speech reflected on and are on our conversation, the perfect body perfect person works as one unit. Our minds are sites I talk our taste our hearts have one focus of one focus minutes ago and we talked about. We become excited about. And God has a way of building an edifying and taking the wisdom and the knowledge that we have and making it blue. I was years ago, probably thirty five years ago I heard a woman speak the rows that blooms in the desert. Everything says it should die. There is no water there is no nutrients. There's nothing but heat and dropped and out of that feeds into route. This flower blooms in our lives. It doesn't matter our surroundings. It doesn't matter what is happened, the doesn't matter what will happen with matters that God planted the seed in our life and that his spirit is love. He is grazed his mercy will cause at the blue when everything else says it can't be there. It can't happen. It can't be done, but in our hearts, we feel it. We have a treasure that says it can happen our mind has knowledge. But the wisdom of God says it can happen and then the voice kicks in and we begin to taste it. I would begin to talk about it. We begin to believe it when we allow God to take something and make it something else to take nothing and bring it into something we have a God who touches our hearts heals the wounds puts the good treasure. There, and wants us to speak about and love anything and then let's than selling a the stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive and present God, who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life. He'll do the same thing you can do the same thing in you that he didn't Jesus bring you a live to himself. And when God lives in phrase and you you are delivered from the dead life with this spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ's payment, I am alive in Christ, he is alive in me, God, and I make a majority so what is your dream they got it right on it talk on it, build it for what it needs to be in Christ they been saying to say goodbyeMy sermon is the perfect person, but I really like it is the perfect body but is losing was trying to look up perfect body on the Internet. You can imagine what he got. So yeah, it's it all. He was looking on, trying to come up with an illustration uses the perfect body will work faster. You can't do that so it kept coming up with my picture enough, just a joke and of course with them. But anyhow the perfect person is an end-to-end meaning the perfect body is the body of Christ and how that we need to see what that body entails. And it means more than just eye a person 's looks their size or shape or their gender is more than just that. The perfect body of the body of Christ and how that that body interact somehow that the body of Christ relates and when we spoke in the Sunday school about wisdom and wisdom is his, not just the accumulation of knowledge. That's a philosophy where wisdom is the knowledge and the application of that knowledge to everyday events to our everyday life. And so what we're doing is we are accumulating knowledge and never taking that knowledge and how does that translate transfer to how we live. That's wisdom and God says, if any man lacks wisdom, he see a full dozen. Nobody's foliage now and is in the forest Gump is a stupid is as stupid does. And I know restless use word stupid. I'm sorry about that. For those of you who have been off-limits for your kids and that's all right. It's a good thing to be off-limits for some words and specially that one because we can throw out there quite easily, but something this is just dumb. No edge is no way around it. The only they just don't they can find a way out of the only can they can go left or right without being you know industry in this picture and lesson this morning. Another illustration was even always felt fully sparse and why because their egos walking down the road the wrong direction. Again, you know, there always lies, and they don't even know their loss. So the perfect body. The body of Christ is one that which belongs to Jesus Christ, which is the believer you and I as we fit into the body of Christ we find that each person has their own spot their own function and that each part of our body has a way of helping and aiding the other parts of the body.

It stands to reason documented if the alive and present God, who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life. We have sinned and fought border D we ask God to come into our lives. Forgive us and if he has lived in God, who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life. He'll do the same thing in you than he did in Jesus bringing you are alive to himself one of the things that went on in our and knob when an armed wisdom in our Sunday school is learning about the book of Ecclesiastes, and how that Solomon is arriving at these different conclusions as he experiences them.

The habits so let's make good habits become slaves to them, and it's all about what you do, how you think and what you all backups that you can make it to wherever you can get rid of think and grow Rich, you can hot hollow influence people by your thoughts and words and actions and mannerisms. If you touch your chin. That's a good thought. If you touch your neck, your being choked by their presence. Jenna if you're with people under how a server holding their neck. You're choking him.

Remember, it's all major hand for things not about likely was the heart, thank you. Just, you know that the high if were going to have the body of Christ would not have a heart and the Lord seat is not usually the Lord sees not as a man saves for man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks where on the heart. She and Ray isn't what it appears to be God looks at the heart. The motive success or failure. What was the motive was the intent to hurt with the intent to destroy God knows that while what about wrong prayers you never have a wrong prayer you have a wrong prayer. Think about that while it didn't hurt what to seek God knows what you want to say okay, God knows what you want to say. Sometimes we try to say the right thing and don't you people get upset over God chance. Why because you knew what you meant to say some people will say flowering things in an art that is line after God knows that. So anyhow, so as to have us a good heart, a good heart, a heart. The desires truth in love and and and and righteousness before God. The second is a sound mind. A new authors on that one for God hath not given us a spirit of fear, God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and how my sound mind cells online means sensible stupid is as stupid does sensible wisdom is the application of knowledge and truth to my life. We want to have a sound mind and we also spoke about how the download salvation, basically, is knowing that we are saved, knowing that we are forgiven and what happens. It protects our thoughts are so many things out there trying to get your thoughts. The Salt Lake things trying to initiate thoughts and get us going in the wrong direction salvation and our relationship with God guards our hearts, our minds the relationship guards those things Garrison Garrison anyhow Garrison warm regards them, salvation, fourth one is caring hearing faith comes by hearing Stephen F inhere to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith, we hear the word of God, and it has an influence upon our minds, our hearts, our actions and today we're looking at today were looking at on a weekly royalty them out young aspiring year. This is both taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, that's part of who we are noticed anything that doesn't go here one of these things is not like the other face then see the everything to take his seat, although together. How can you say something and see to wonder that so here's a piece of chocolate and but what I was enabling the taste isn't seeing it. It was been on the floor and step on anyone want to taste and see greater in you allocate want to see him take on faith, and saying I like your government taste and see what I said is true, it is a piece of chocolate. The weather on the floor. They got stepped on items that want to did you aptly derided at the clock to run to clean it. So we find that taste and see, is tasting to understand. So we see that I have a Hershey kiss that has been walked on and dropped on the floor and are you willing to taste it and see that it is correct. Well, the opposite and in the Scripture is taste the goodness of God. Sample his bouncy sample. His grades, his love and forgiveness sample what God is who God is and then see that it is correct that when we ask for forgiveness. We are forgiven. Take care, and that which God has given us in his word tasted experiences and what you experience it, you begin to see or understand salt taste to make a discovery that we might see the goodness of God taste insight taste and site make discoveries, so the body that is perfect as a mouth that will taste also a mouth that speaks Luke six forty five a good man out of the good treasure of his heart. Notice how that the Scripture makes connections between the heart in the mouth, tasting and see there are connections you see we are not isolated. One aspect of our body is not isolated from the other. We touched we feel we think we experience we have possible with all of the things that come out in our body language because I can say that I am at peace. But you know I don't fear anything that I really don't get angry, but what's going on. What I'm saying doesn't match the expression) number one. Situation which in and on the hospital there is lady and she in no she had her hands on the rails at her knuckles were white and I'm asking her what's wrong she says nothing. I said oh you frightened no, I said, you know, we are going, who Joshua started testifying and she didn't. She couldn't tell you that you once I do that because you are to say it would mean that it might happen then. She's scared to death of it, and there are lives we are scared to death because of what we're thinking maybe not what we are experiencing, and it's important that we have the wisdom to think to know to get the connection between our hearts and our minds to get the connection between our tasting and are seeing and that we allow the spirit of God to do well. Our lives in a way that influences our body. One, the peace of God that passes all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds that I am at peace. Why, because God is with me, and nothing can separate me from the love of God. I have tasted the love of God, and I have. It's more than just the knowledge it is something that holds my heart. The same happens that were nailed to the cross on the same hands that hold a broken, the same God who says, my peace I give unto you, not at the rug is unto you, if the same peace of God that allowed him to go through the crowd of the crucifixion and that the persecution and the suffering because there is a knowledge that overtaken there is a knowledge and experience that is greater than the experience that we are having. I have a knowledge of a God who will see me through, then nothing can separate me and that knowledge, I have experienced that I have tasted. I have seen it, and therefore as I now encounter life. I find that God is there a good man out of the good treasure the good treasure out of the good treasure out of the good treasure, a treasure chest. I treasure chest out of the good treasure chest of his heart he bring it forth that which is good, but an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart, bring it forth that which is evil, for the abundance of the heart his mouth will speak for the abundance of the heart his mouth will speak so we find that we began the body of Christ we become part of the body of Christ because of our heart and our relationship with Jesus Christ and how that our heart is forgiven, how they are hard to the feelings of the wounds of our heart are thereby, Jesus himself who holds us and those imprints on his hand. The nail prints in his hands. Either imprints that are holding our hearts in its brokenness and how that that that a place of security in Jesus. I find the treasures and I began to speak about it, and so the heart is the seat of my treasure. The heart is the seat of my words and my actions for with the heart man believe it unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. So our heart confesses our mouth confesses. What is in our heart of hearts as a way of bringing confession, evil treasures bring out evil, yet you you been around people who are just destructive in their words, I think about this comes from watching too many Westerns now I was at one with the Kevin Costner and he goes out in the West Indies. The lone soldier and did some of the two thousand wolves dancing with wolves left it that enables you I is and has these their needs. There around this little pond, you know, these washing in whatever they have this whole thing looks over and there staring at them as a deer in the water is watching and helpful of the whole pool is poisoned because of the watching animal in the water. Sometimes people are like that, that there their life is just full of Jesus is dead men's bones. Their life is full of place in their life is an intellect you know it. It's like you have to see it and you sometimes you don't have to see it to know that it's there. You can smell it, you can tell it by their words and their words are destructive to the words of my mouth. It get you every of the commode is the Komodo dragon mode. It was felt that it is it Komodo dragon young this thing is a big lumbering animal. It's that they can be huge. Like twenty feet long. They can be huge and are slow your letter. However, this thing needs until now, it doesn't. If they can get close enough and sneak up enough to just bite something, there is enough bacteria and its mouth that that animal will get infected and die just by a nip this great from its mouth. There are some people that just a few words from their mouth is so destructive, and so infecting the people will begin to die from their words and these are the things the evil intent. The people 's heart, and that's a treasure, but this is the only way to survive if only way to survive is to infect other people to the point that they will die. And that's with a little you see, God has a whole different perspective of life and of words, a font set of actions of a heart treasure that is able to think to pray the love, to forgive, to let it go to get rid of the dead bones. The dance. The dead treasures that are affecting our heart and our senses and are our words, our vocabulary. It affects everything and God wants us to get relevant and how to get rid of it. We forgive putting God first. Some people and some things and some events that have just been like that Dragon has put an infection in the system, what would I do about what the only way they know to live, but I'm not going to die while they are going through their living process. I'm going to ask for forgiveness, and I'm going to turn that life over to God, and I'm a focus on my life and what God has for me to do what God has for me to live let God deal with the hearts of your heart. My heart, let God forgive us, but God committed to heal the brokenness and feel the loneliness because God knows that Jesus knows exactly what it is like to be well dead respectively for somebody else's actions misguided actions. You know the we would like to be wounded for somebody else's misguided actions and thoughts, and he who better than the two common human woundedness of other people 's actions upon our hearts like to clean up the well-liked. Oddly enough, that treasure, but the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart speak and building edify God allow the contamination of the Dragon don't allow the contamination and the infection of that dragons who influence our hearts and our words anymore. So what do you want to create with your words. What do you want to create with your thoughts. What is the dream that God has placed in your heart what is the dream that God has placed their if it's not working, change what you are creating change your words, your drain created with the words up with the word of God because God has given us our dreams and he is coming together with our wisdom and our understanding and his Word and his spirit to create something the outlook of evil is to infect to destroy to constantly work at eating away at that's the effect of evil. God 's effect upon our life is forgiveness is healing his restoration is hope it's piece 's joy is understanding. God wants to bring all this about it. So God 's word as we are part of the body of Christ. We speak we hear God 's word as we speak that word into our live by remembering and by praying and talking about it, God 's word. What if God looked in on us. Instead, all while you know that David, he's failed again. But that's not the failure unless the person with the know you got this problem is done at the present with that problem that the person with that diagnosis. We put a diagnosis auditing got your driver like us, we would be in trouble because they diagnose things and people never let go of the diagnosis, but God diagnosis things and he has what is necessary for the healing and he knows what the problem is, but he knows more. He knows better what we can become an soul in the process. God looks at us and it other diagnosed the problem. God tells the problem. This is what you can become the let go of the problem unless become this. Let's put our sites over here. Let's allow the Spirit to put a treasure in your heart and from the treasure. Allow God to speak to think you can thank God spots you can, by his word is where desires for us to have truth and love, forgiveness, and we can think God 's thoughts and put them into words that encapsulate our dreams and we begin to pray and speak in seeking go in those direction. He looked beyond my faults and saw my name the song I like failure misfits, which is seeing by his word by his grace by his mercy. I am in creation, and created a new and the most thing that we have the most powerful tool that we have is the words that speak the treasure of our heart to edify tubules to exhort to encourage faith comes by hearing itself as I hear the word of God. If I hear faith as I hear, and as I see it. I tasted I can taste this, we can trace the victory of the taste of victory ever wonder that the mentoring what I can taste it in the air. I can taste success is that sky like a vacancy. The abundance of the word skills are hard to fill the chambers of our lives and we can taste the word and then verifies how long it is. How wonderful it is as though the word is our hope. And from this position of the words speaking hope the word of life, the word of faith, the word of thankfulness. The word courage. The word of possibility is a speech is the best way to pick out the wise person from the full pickup in our Sunday school lesson this morning. Speech is the best way to pick out the wise person from the fool speech is the best way to pick out the wise person from what we say we belong the body of Christ is greater than our individual, isolated, self-discipline cannot and won't yell off on our own. God has brought us into his body. We had become his child. Any use part. We are part of him. He is part of us and our speech and against what the next one is talking James three eight, but the tongue can no maintain and it is unruly evil, full of deadly poison. No one ever you see a snake that spits out this time. That's not the poison at this feeling and sensing the year and what's around so that it can strike Romans three. Their throat is an open sepulcher with their time. They have used to see the poison of asps is under their lips with a bunch of scriptures that talk about that, but that's not the point. Psalm thirty five and my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness of thy praise all the day long. My time will speak the praise of God and God 's righteousness and goodness of God lived, and his mouth was opened immediately and his timeless and he spoke any praise God. God has away all influence seeing losing icons ever pray for somebody is bound to be silent while John is right for us to speak God is praying for us to speak. Not saying amen is enough. I don't want either him or her to speak to botch it out. They might get the wrong impression. God is empowered us to speak the word of truth and first Corinthians thirteen, though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels by the amount mode and I don't have love in my heart as the molten nothing more than climbing symbols of beating drum acts chapter two verse twenty six therefore did my heart rejoice, and my time was glad. So we find that what is hard, as reflected in our speech reflected on and are on our conversation, the perfect body perfect person works as one unit. Our minds are sites I talk our taste our hearts have one focus of one focus minutes ago and we talked about. We become excited about. And God has a way of building an edifying and taking the wisdom and the knowledge that we have and making it blue. I was years ago, probably thirty five years ago I heard a woman speak the rows that blooms in the desert. Everything says it should die. There is no water there is no nutrients. There's nothing but heat and dropped and out of that feeds into route. This flower blooms in our lives. It doesn't matter our surroundings. It doesn't matter what is happened, the doesn't matter what will happen with matters that God planted the seed in our life and that his spirit is love. He is grazed his mercy will cause at the blue when everything else says it can't be there. It can't happen. It can't be done, but in our hearts, we feel it. We have a treasure that says it can happen our mind has knowledge. But the wisdom of God says it can happen and then the voice kicks in and we begin to taste it. I would begin to talk about it. We begin to believe it when we allow God to take something and make it something else to take nothing and bring it into something we have a God who touches our hearts heals the wounds puts the good treasure. There, and wants us to speak about and love anything and then let's than selling a the stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive and present God, who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life. He'll do the same thing you can do the same thing in you that he didn't Jesus bring you a live to himself. And when God lives in phrase and you you are delivered from the dead life with this spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ's payment, I am alive in Christ, he is alive in me, God, and I make a majority so what is your dream they got it right on it talk on it, build it for what it needs to be in Christ they been saying to say goodbye
