reetings, holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ. The sermon subject for today is:

HOS:4:6 MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. THE MIND IS A WONDERFUL FACULTY OF THE HUMAN BODY, IT HAS PERCEPTION, IMAGINATION, REMEMBRANCE, REASONING, VISUALIZATION, INTUITION AND POWER TO PLAN, WHEN A PERSON WAKES IN THE MORNING, AND IS OF A SOUND MIND; IT IS A BLESSING FROM GOD. FOR THERE ARE IN EVERY GREAT CITY MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE THAT DO NOT KNOW THEIR RIGHT HAND FROM THEIR LEFT. JON:4:11 AND SHOULD NOT I SPARE NINEVEH, THAT GREAT CITY, WHEREIN ARE MORE THEN SIXSCORE THOUSAND PERSONS THAT CANNOT DISCERN BETWEEN THEIR RIGHT HAND AND THEIR LEFT HAND; AND MUCH CATTLE? THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN EDUCATION, AND WISDOM. EDUCATION COMES INTO THE BRAIN THROUGH PERCEPTION AND EXPERIENCE. WISDOM IS A GIFT OF GOD. 1KGS:4:29 AND GOD GAVE SOLOMON WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING EXCEEDING MUCH, AND LARGENESS OF HEART, EVEN AS THE SAND THAT IS ON THE SEA SHORE. PRV:9:10 THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM: AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY IS UNDERSTANDING. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WISDOM IS A FEMALE SPIRIT. PRV:8:1 DOTH NOT WISDOM CRY? AND UNDERSTANDING PUT FORTH HER VOICE? PRV:8:36 BUT HE THAT SINNETH AGAINST ME WRONGETH HIS OWN SOUL: ALL THEY THAT HATE ME LOVE DEATH. JMS:1:5 IF ANY OF YOU LACK WISDOM, LET HIM ASK OF GOD, THAT GIVETH TO ALL MEN LIBERALLY, AND UPBRAIDETH NOT; AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN HIM. WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, AND UNDERSTANDING HAS INCREASED IN THESE LAST DAYS AS WAS TOLD TO DANIEL. DA:12:4 BUT THOU, O DANIEL, SHUT UP THE WORDS, AND SEAL THE BOOK, EVEN TO THE TIME OF THE END: MANY SHALL RUN TO AND FRO, AND KNOWLEDGE SHALL BE INCREASED. WISDOM GIVETH LIFE TO THEM THAT HAVE IT. Ec7:12 FOR WISDOM IS A DEFENSE, AND MONEY IS A DEFENSE: BUT THE EXCELLENCY OF KNOWLEDGE IS, THAT WISDOM GIVETH LIFE TO THEM THAT HAVE IT. IF A MAN WILL NOT DEPART FROM EVIL IT IS BECAUSE HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES. FOR EXAMPLE , A PERSON WOULD NOT COMMIT ADULTERY IF HE REALLY UNDERSTOOD THAT ADULTERY DESTROYS THE SOUL. PRV:6:32 BUT WHOSO COMMITTETH ADULTERY WITH A WOMAN LACKETH UNDERSTANDING: HE THAT DOETH IT DESTROYETH HIS OWN SOUL. A MAN WOULD NOT GO INTO THE HARLOT’S HOUSE IF HE KNEW FOR CERTAIN THAT HER HOUSE WAS THE WAY TO HELL GOING DOWN INTO THE CHAMBERS OF DEATH. COUNT THE COST, FOR THE COST IS VERY HIGH. PRV:7:10 AND, BEHOLD, THERE MET HIM A WOMAN WITH THE ATTIRE OF AN HARLOT, AND SUBTIL OF HEART. 13. SO SHE CAUGHT HIM, AND KISSED HIM, AND WITH AN IMPUDENT FACE SAID UNTO HIM, 16. I HAVE DECKED MY BED WITH COVERINGS OF TAPESTRY, WITH CARVED WORKS, WITH FINE LINEN OF EGYPT. 27. HER HOUSE IS THE WAY TO HELL, GOING DOWN TO THE CHAMBERS OF DEATH. I BELIEVE THERE ARE THREE WAYS THAT KNOWLEDGE COMES INTO THE BRAIN, FIRST THROUGH PERCEPTION, THE THINGS THAT YOU SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL, TOUCH, SECONDLY I BELIEVE THAT KNOWLEDGE COMES INTO THE BRAIN THROUGH EXPERIENCE; THE THINGS YOU DO, AND THE THINGS YOU SEE DONE. FINALLY I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU LEARN ANY THING ABOUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IT SHALL BE THROUGH REVELATION. MT:16:17 AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, BLESSED ART THOU, SIMON BARJONA: FOR FLESH AND BLOOD HATH NOT REVEALED IT UNTO THEE, BUT MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. A MAN CANNOT EVEN CALL JESUS CHRIST LORD EXCEPT THE HOLY GHOST REVEALS THIS FACT TO HIM. 1COR:12:3 WHEREFORE I GIVE YOU TO UNDERSTAND, THAT NO MAN SPEAKING BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD CALLETH JESUS ACCURSED: AND THAT NO MAN CAN SAY THAT JESUS IS THE LORD, BUT BY THE HOLY GHOST. WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF THOUGHTS, PLANNING, AND VISUALIZING IN THE HUMAN BODY? THE HEART IS THE SOURCE OF THOUGHTS THAT ENTER THE MIND. GOD GIVES TO HIS CHILDREN GOOD HEARTS, SATAN GIVES TO HIS CHILDREN EVIL HEARTS. MT:12:35 A GOOD MAN OUT OF THE GOOD TREASURE OF THE HEART BRINGETH FORTH GOOD THINGS: AND AN EVIL MAN OUT OF THE EVIL TREASURE BRINGETH FORTH EVIL THINGS. BECAUSE OF THE ORIGINAL SIN OF ADAM, THE SPIRIT OF GOD DEPARTED FROM ADAM; AND THE SOULS OF ALL MANKIND DIED THE SPIRITUAL DEATH. DEATH REIGNED UPON ALL HUMANITY FOR THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE WAS IN ADAM AT THE TIME THAT HE TRANSGRESSED THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, 1COR:15:22 FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE. BEFORE A MAN RECEIVES THE HOLY GHOST HE IS CARNAL MINDED. THE CARNAL MIND IS THE FLESHLY MIND OF SENSE AND REASON WITHOUT THE HOLY GHOST. THE CARNAL MIND IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF GOD, NEITHER INDEED CAN BE. ROM:8:7 BECAUSE THE CARNAL MIND IS ENMITY AGAINST GOD: FOR IT IS NOT SUBJEST TO THE LAW OF GOD, NEITHER INDEED CAN BE. WHEN A CHILD IS BORN INTO THE WORLD, HE IS ALIVE PHYSICALLY, BUT DEAD SPIRITUALLY, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL MUST BE RESTORED TO LIFE. AS DAVID KING OF ISRAEL SANG. PS:23:3 HE RESTORETH MY SOUL: HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR HIS NAME’S SAKE. WHEN WE, THE ELECT OF GOD, ARE BAPTIZED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST, WE BECOME A MEMBER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST. 1COR:2:16 FOR WHO HATH KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE MAY INSTRUCT HIM? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST. JESUS CHRIST SAYS WE, AS CHILDREN OF GOD, MUST BE BORN AGAIN. JN:3:5 JESUS ANSWERED, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD? ROM:14:17 FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT MEAT AND DRINK; BUT RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND PEACE, AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST. WHEN WE, THE ELECT OF GOD, ARE BORN OF WATER; BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, WE ARE BAPTIZED OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. OUR SINS ARE WASHED AWAY BY THE WATER OF OUR BAPTISM, AND WHEN WE RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST WE BECOME A NEW CREATION. 2COR:5:17 THEREFORE IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATURE: OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW. I BELIEVE THAT THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST IS THE MASTER KEY TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. ACTS:4:10 BE IT KNOWN UNTO YOU ALL, AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, THAT BY THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, WHOM YE CRUCIFIED, WHOM GOD RAISED FROM THE DEAD, EVEN BY HIM DOTH THIS MAN STAND HERE BEFORE YOU WHOLE. 12. NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: FOR THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED. WHEN WE RECEIVE THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, THE INWARD MAN, THE SOUL, COMES TO LIFE. AND WE BECOME A MEMBER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. 1COR:12:27 NOW YE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND MEMBER IN PARTICULAR. NOW WHEN A CHILD IS BORN INTO THE WORLD, THEY ARE ALIVE PHYSICALLY, BUT DEAD SPIRITUALLY; CARNAL MINDED, THEREFORE WE RUN WITH THE CHILDREN OF SATAN DOING THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOT PLEASING TO GOD. TI:3:3 FOR WE OURSELVES ALSO WERE SOMETIMES FOOLISH, DISOBEDIENT, DECEIVED, SERVING DIVERS LUST AND PLEASURES, LIVING IN MALICE AND ENVY, HATEFUL, AND HATING ONE ANOTHER. TI:3:4 BUT AFTER THAT THE KINDNESS AND LOVE OF GOD OUR SAVIOUR TOWARD MAN APPEARED, 5. NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTESOUSNESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY HE SAVED US, BY THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST. WHY MUST A PERSON BE BORN OF WATER, BAPTIZED? ETERNAL LIFE IS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST , 1JN:5:11 AND THIS IS THE RECORD, THAT GOD HATH GIVEN TO US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND THAT IS THROUGH THE WATER OF BAPTISM. GAL:3:27 FOR AS MANY OF YOU AS HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE PUT ON CHRIST. WHEN A PERSON IS BAPTIZED, THE WATER OF THEIR BAPTISM WASHES THEIR SINS AWAY, AND THEY ARE IN A SANCTIFIED CONDITION. AND THEY COME INTO THE PROMISE THAT THEY SHALL RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST. ACT:2:38 THEN PETER SAID UNTO THEM, REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, AND YE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST. WHEN WE, THE ELECT OF GOD, RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL COMES TO LIFE; THE SOUL OF MAN DELIGHTS IN THE LAWS OF GOD. ROM:7:22 FOR I DELIGHT IN THE LAW OF GOD AFTER THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL. THERE IS A WAR THAT GOES ON WITHIN THE BORN AGAIN HUMAN BODY; THE FLESH WARS AGAINST THE SPIRIT, AND THE SPIRIT AGAINST THE FLESH. ROM:7:14 FOR WE KNOW THAT THE LAW IS SPIRITUAL: BUT I AM CARNAL, SOLD UNDER SIN. 15. FOR THAT WHICH I DO I ALLOW NOT: FOR WHAT I WOULD, THAT DO I NOT; BUT WHAT I HATE, THAT DO I. 16. IF THEN I DO THAT WHICH I WOULD NOT, I CONSENT UNTO THE LAW THAT IT IS GOOD. 17. NOW THEN IT IS NO MORE I THAT DO IT, BUT SIN THAT DWELLETH IN ME. 18. FOR I KNOW THAT IN ME (THAT IS, IN MY FLESH) DWELLETH NO GOOD THING: FOR TO WILL IS PRESENT WITH ME; BUT HOW TO PERFORM THAT WHICH IS GOOD I FIND NOT. 19. FOR THE GOOD THAT I WOULD I DO NOT: BUT THE EVIL WHICH I WOULD NOT, THAT I DO. 20. NOW IF I DO THAT I WOULD NOT, IT IS NO MORE I THAT DO IT, BUT SIN THAT DWELLETH IN ME. 21. I FIND THEN A LAW, THAT , WHEN I WOULD DO GOOD, EVIL IS PRESENT WITH ME. THE ELECT OF GOD BECOME SPIRITUALLY MINDED , AFTER WE RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST. BUT THE NATURAL MAN IS CARNAL MINDED AND THE THINGS OF GOD ARE FOOLISHNESS TO HIM. 1COR:2:14 BUT THE NATURAL MAN RECEIVETH NOT THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD: FOR THEY ARE FOOLISHNESS UNTO HIM; NEITHER CAN HE KNOW THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. 15. BUT HE THAT IS SPRITTUAL JUDGETH ALL THINGS, YET HE HIMSELF IS JUDGED OF NO MAN. WHEN THE ELECT OF GOD RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL COMES TO LIFE, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL NEVER GROWS OLD BECAUSE THE SOUL OF MAN IS RENEWED DAY BY DAY. 2COR:4:16 FOR WHICH CAUSE WE FAINT NOT; BUT THOUGH OUR OUTWARD MAN PERISH, YET THE INWARD MAN IS RENEWED DAY BY DAY. EXCEPT THE LORD OPENS A PERSONS UNDERSTANDING TO THE HOLY SCRIPTURES THE PERSON WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES. LK:24:36 AND AS THEY THUS SPAKE, JESUS HIMSELF STOOD IN THE MIDST OF THEM, AND SAITH UNTO THEM, PEACE BE UNTO YOU. 45. THEN OPENED HE THEIR UNDERSTANDING, THAT THEY MIGHT UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES. WHEN WE, AS SAINTS OF GOD, RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST, THE ANOINTING THAT HE BRINGS WILL TEACH US, AND BRING US INTO ALL TRUTH. 1JN:2:27 BUT THE ANOINTING WHICH YE HAVE RECEIVED OF HIM ABIDETH IN YOU, AND YE NEED NOT THAT ANY MAN TEACH YOU: BUT AS THE SAME ANOINTING TEACHETH YOU OF ALL THINGS, AND IS TRUTH, AND IS NO LIE, AND EVEN AS IT HATH TAUGHT YOU, YE SHALL ABIDE IN HIM. YOU CAN RECOGNIZE YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT ARE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST THAT HAVE RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST, BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT WILFULLY TRANSGRESS THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. 1JN:3:8 HE THAT COMMITTETH SIN IS OF THE DEVIL; FOR THE DEVIL SINNETH FROM THE BEGINNING. FOR THIS PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFESTED, THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL. 9. WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; FOR HIS SEED REMAINETH IN HIM: AND HE CANNT SIN, BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD. 10. IN THIS THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE MANIFEST, AND THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL: WHOSOEVER DOETH NOT RIGHTEOUNESS IS NOT OF GOD, NEITHER HE THAT LOVETH NOT HIS BROTHER. WHEN WE FIRST RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST, WE ARE LIKE BABES IN CHRIST, AND IF WE SIN IN IGNORANCE WE CAN CONFESS THAT SIN, AND BE FORGIVEN. 1JN:1:9 IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS, AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. BUT AS WE STUDY, AND COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, WE KNOW ABOUT REPENTANCE FROM DEAD WORKS, WE KNOW ABOUT FAITH TOWARD GOD, AND ABOUT BAPTISM, WE KNOW ABOUT THE LAYING ON OF HANDS, AND THE RESURRECTION, AND THE ETERNAL JUDGMENT. IF WE SIN WILFULLY AFTER THAT WE HAVE COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, THERE REMAINS NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SIN. HEB:10:26 FOR IF WE SIN WILFULLY AFTER THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, THERE REMAINETH NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SINS. THE BORN AGAIN CHILD OF GOD WILL NEVER BE CONDEMNED IF HE WILL ABSTAIN FROM THE WORKS OF THE FLESH. ROM:8:1 THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION TO THEM WHICH ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT. 2. FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HATH MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR MIND IF YOU LET THEM. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL THERE WAS A MAN THAT CAME TO OUR SCHOOL THAT HAD THE ABILITY TO HYPNOTIZE, AND HE CALLED FOR VOLUNTEERS. AND THREE OR FOUR OF THE CHILDREN VOLUNTEERED. WITHIN MINUTES AFTER TALKING TO THE STUDENTS, HE SAID TO ONE YOU ARE A MONKEY, AND THAT YOUNG MAN WENT TO ACTING LIKE A MONKEY. THERE ARE MEN THAT TAKE OVER THE MINDS OF WHOLE NATIONS BY BEWITCHING THE PEOPLE, AND BRINGING THEM UNDER THEIR CONTROL. ACTS:8:9 BUT THERE WAS A CERTAIN MAN, CALLED SIMON, WHICH BEFORETIME IN THE SAME CITY USED SORCERY, AND BEWITCHED THE PEOPLE OF SAMARIA, GIVING OUT THAT HIMSELF WAS SOME GREAT ONE: 10. TO WHOM THEY ALL GAVE HEED, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST, SAYING, THIS MAN IS THE GREAT POWER OF GOD. THERE WAS A MAN THAT BEWITCHED A STRONG EUROPEAN NATION, TOOK CONTROL OF THEIR MINDS, AND CAUSED THEM TO MAKE WAR ON THERE NEIGHBOURS, WHICH STARTED WORLD WAR TWO. BEFORE THE WAR ENDED APPROXIMATELY SIXTY MILLION PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES. GOD HAS ALLOW MANKIND TO GATHER MORE INFORMATION, AND INVENTIONS SINCE WORLD WAR TWO THAN ANY OTHER TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. THE ABILITY TO READ, WRITE, AND SPEAK, TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER HAS CAUSED KNOWLEDGE TO GREATLY INCREASE. USING AN ACRONYM IS A GOOD WAY TO REMEMBER SOMETHING. FOR EXAMPLE "HOMES" TO REMEMBER THE GREAT LAKES. LAKE HURON, LAKE ONTARIO, LAKE MICHIGAN, LAKE ERIE, LAKE SUPERIOR .
