▶ 0:00 Up earlier this morning how Naaman as an unbeliever. He was a very decorated soldier for the Syrian army and he had to humble himself. And get in the river that the prophet told him to go to and wash in the river and he thought he would have to do something wonderful and that that there would be some great uh pomp or they’d spend a lot of money doing something great for him but it was all he had to do was go to the river and wash and that’s what we have to do with Jesus humble ourselves come to him and let him cleanse change us restore us so no matter what your opinion is of Jesus Christ the river of his word the river that he has we need to humble ourselves like Naaman did and at the beginning he was not he was angry and upset but he changed and he submitted himself to the river and that’s what we need to do this morning so would you come let’s stand together and worship the Lord this morning.

▶ 18:12 In the house. We worship. You. As an unbeliever had to humble himself and the result was cleansing and healing but all there is another who was a mighty man of God who was one who was highly favored highly favored even in a time. Where the children of Israel were carried away to Babylon but Daniel was elevated to a high position. And we know by reading the book of Daniel that later in his years he always served the Lord three times a day he prayed but the thing that really stood out and just touched my heart.
▶ 19:15 Is when Daniel saw a vision he was given a vision and the Bible says he fell sick he laid ill for three days. And Daniel. Another he had a a vision in a time of fasting and praying. And the Bible says that the angel of the Lord came to Daniel and said this because you humbled yourself. But wouldn’t you think Daniel was already a humble man and you know it it it speaks volumes to what we’ve been learning we need Jesus in real time Daniel was a humble man but yet in his circumstances he had to humble himself and the Bible says that the the angel of the Lord came to him because he humbled himself we never stop humbling ourselves amen we have to constantly bow at the feet of Jesus kneeling at the cross amen.

Scripture in this part
2 Kings 5:14 (NKJV)
So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
— 2 Kings 5:14 (NKJV)▶ Hear it at 0:00What happens when Jesus shows up?
Short answer: He changes everything; darkness trembles at the light.
▶ 26:36 And I think it is a great. Statement about Jesus Christ when Jesus shows up changes everything. Everything changes when God shows up and that’s what we want in our personal lives we don’t want to serve a God who’s far off in the distance we want to draw close to Christ and have that closeness to God make that huge difference in our lives and I encourage everyone in the room and online do not keep God far from you be close to him keep him as close as you can in your life. When you walk into the room. Everything changes.
▶ 27:30 Darkness starts to tremble at the light that you bring when you walk into the room. Every heart starts burning. Nothing matters more than just to sit at your we love you. We’ll never stop we can’t live without you. Jesus we love you. We can’t get enough all this is for you.
▶ 28:28 Jesus. When you walk into the room. Sickness starts to vanish every hopeless situation. Ceases to exist when you walk into the room the dead begin to rise cause there is resurrection life in all you. Do. We love you. And we’ll never stop we can’t live without you. Jesus. We love you. We can’t get enough all this is for you.
▶ 29:20 Jesus we love you. And we’ll never stop we can’t live without you. Jesus. We love you. We can’t get enough all this is for you. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. We thank you Jesus. Hallelujah Jesus. Glory thank you father we thank you Jesus.
▶ 30:20 Let’s pray this morning as Mr. Kincer comes to share the word. This morning Lord we come before you God. Jesus and we pray Lord that we would be like Naaman God who humbled himself. Lord sometimes we’re knuckle-headed like him Jesus and we need to humble ourselves Lord. Lord Jesus we pray that we be like Daniel even though Daniel was a seasoned Christian somebody who believed in you wholeheartedly he still had to humble you God and Lord Jesus even though we may be a Christian for 30 50 years God doesn’t matter we still need to humble ourselves Jesus. God Lord I pray Jesus. That we would respond right when you walk into the room God. That we would listen like the young men on the road to emmaus God Lord they just listened God and when you.
▶ 31:12 When you continued to walk away God they stopped you and they said come with us God I pray that we would have that response to you Jesus. Jesus please we ask this in your name we thank you for this wonderful day and Jesus change our hearts God we love you everyone said amen. Okay we’ve been asking ourselves this question can our past limit or reject God’s present promises. And we are dealing with six different characters here in John chapter 11 verses 1 through 44. First there’s Lazarus a disciple a pupil a disciplined one of Christ that was sick weekly and then he died he dead okay there’s a lot of Christians today that are weakly and sickly and a lot of them are dead okay then you got Mary who chose the important thing the necessary thing to sit at Jesus’s feet worship him and hear his word.
Does Jesus love the weak?
Short answer: Martha was busy, Lazarus sickly — whether dead, sickly or weak, Jesus loves you.
▶ 32:23 Then you got Martha the busy one. So busy serving she didn’t take time to sit at Jesus’s feet in this chapter to hear his work and she was a complainer. You know if people wasn’t doing what she thought was important and what she thought what God was doing she complained what’s the rest of these what’s wrong with the rest of these people why you always got your complainers. You always got your workers but she also had the characteristic of worrying worrying about this worrying about that and she was troubled about many things. And. We got those in the church they just worry about everything and they are troubled about everything. But the important thing is Jesus loved all three.
▶ 33:15 Whether you’re dead whether you’re sickly whether you’re weak spiritually or in body Jesus loves you and whether you are a worshiper in spirit and in truth and you know how to get into the word and sit at Jesus feet and learn the word Jesus loves you and whether you’re so busy that sometimes you neglect to sit at his feet and hear his word Jesus loves you and though you are a complainer of all things. He loves you in spite of your complaining mouth all right and your worrisome and your troublesome spirit and attitude he still loves you then there is a fourth character here in this chapter and that’s Jesus Christ of Nazareth himself the only begotten son of God the savior of the world the savior from sin the only one that can save us from sin and a miracle worker the only miracle worker sent by God.
Scripture in this part
John 11:5 (NKJV)
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
— John 11:5 (NKJV)▶ Hear it at 33:15Do you know who your Jesus is?
Short answer: Some preach a Jesus who didn’t die; know the real One.
▶ 34:16 You’ve got to know who your Jesus is there’s people out there preaching to Jesus that didn’t die on the cross you know they’re preaching to Jesus that’s just a good man wasn’t the son of God wanting God himself you got to know your Jesus could that be an amen as that song says when he walks into the rooms things happen. Yes we need him and can’t live without him I love special songs by the way you can get a two-minute message into people’s minds and spirit. In a song that a preacher. Can’t do in 20 minutes. All right and then there’s the apostles those great apostles the ambassadors of Christ with authority to heal the sick and cast out devils and preach the gospel that brought people to Christ and and save them from their sins.
▶ 35:09 And as we already learned these apostles didn’t have all the answers did they they said they were going to go down to bethany and die with Jesus. They said well he’s dead already why are we going you know what. Ministers don’t have all the answers folks don’t be looking at him for all the answers be looking until the author and the finish of your faith for the answer Jesus began your faith Jesus will end your faith and Jesus will keep you between the end and in the beginning could that be an amen hallelujah. And then you got the religious people the Jews who wept with Martha and Mary and comforted them and that’s what religious people are good at they’re good at being there for your wedding being there for your funeral being there for your birthday party whatever they’re very good at these things but they bring no substance with them.
What were Mary’s past facts?
Short answer: She sat at His feet; when called she rose quickly and came to Him.
▶ 36:08 So. Mary’s. Past facts we’re going to deal with Mary this morning. And show you that her past beliefs her past facts her past experiences. Oppose Jesus present purpose. Martha left Jesus. And she went and called Mary secretly Mary. The master’s out there and he wants you to come to him. All right now why they did she didn’t want the Jews hearing it I don’t know but she said it secretly. And uh don’t be afraid to talk out loud hallelujah. When I get into witnessing with people we get into a scriptural debate my voice goes to top volume I want everybody within 50 feet here and what I got to say I want them hearing the truth amen.
▶ 37:09 Don’t keep the gospel quiet but anyway Jesus invites Mary now Mary’s the one that sat at his feet and heard his word and worshiped him and when Jesus came and and it was uh gossip the broad or or the grapevine through the grapevine uh Martha heard that Jesus was out there and Martha the busy one went to Jesus here see she did have that part in her but she always was a busy one too. And Mary who said at his feet didn’t even move. But now when Mary her heard a personal invite. Jesus gave me a personal invite man she goes running out there don’t wait for a personal invite when you hear the message of Christ just go running to him could that be an amen it’s nice for him to personally invite you but he invites us all to come unto him doesn’t he.
▶ 38:10 Hallelujah. Now so she went out there. And she rose quickly and came to Jesus. The Jews which were with her in the house to comfort her when they saw Mary that she rose up and hastily went out and followed her thinking and saying that she goes to the grave to weep we got to stick with her and comfort her the poor girl she just she just got to be comforted. And. A lot of people. Unknowingly. Can follow you to Jesus. Hallelujah. A wedding for instance. They can unknowingly come and that wedding can be christ-centered a funeral can be christ-centered.
▶ 39:03 A birthday party. A block party whatever. And unknowingly. They. Can find the Jesus that you find because you take him with you could that be an amen hallelujah. Then when Mary was come there. To where Jesus was and saw him she fell down on his feet saying Lord here it is again. The one who. Knew. And kneeled at his feet heard his word here it is again it’s like this whole family’s plagued with the past all right it’s like everybody around here is stuck in the past. Lord if you had been here now she knows he’s a Lord do you catch that she knows he is the superpower of the world the spirit world the natural world the total controller she knows that.
Scripture in this part
John 11:28-29 (NKJV)
And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, “The Teacher has come and is calling for you.” As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to Him.
— John 11:28-29 (NKJV)▶ Hear it at 37:09What did Mary say?
Short answer: Lord, if You had been here my brother would not have died — she knew His superior power.
▶ 40:08 She knows how powerful he is you get the message. Lord. That is the superior power the Lord. If you the Lord had been here my brother had not died. Well if he is the Lord. It doesn’t matter if he was there or not could that be an amen you see she saw Jesus healing people when they came to him or he went as he walked around the road and preaching and all that so in her mind Jesus has to be there in Martha’s mind Jesus has to be there in everybody’s mind Jesus has to be there but the father is doing a new thing he is going to prove there is a resurrection at the end day by raising Lazarus after over four days of being in the grave.
Scripture in this part
John 11:32 (NKJV)
Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
— John 11:32 (NKJV)▶ Hear it at 40:08How dead was Lazarus?
Short answer: Four days dead; the body was decaying.
▶ 41:08 With the insects eating his flesh blood and vomit and foam coming out of his mouth he is dead in a door. Now. God is going to tell the world I’m coming at the end to resurrect everybody and I’m going to prove it by resurrecting Lazarus the apostles didn’t get it. Martha didn’t get it Mary didn’t get it the Jews didn’t get it. Are you there. And you notice it isn’t going to hinder Christ at all to finish the will of the father don’t think everything depends on you a lot of these mega church ministers try to train you that your faith and your thinking will accomplish everything I don’t care how dead you are how sick you are how worshipy you are how deep in the God you are how shallow you are God loves us all and he is going to fulfill his will amen.
Should we live in the past?
Short answer: No; don’t live in the past or by your level of spirituality — look to Jesus.
▶ 42:16 Hallelujah. Don’t live in the past and don’t live by your level of spirituality look unto Jesus the author and the finish of our faith and let’s see what he’s up to. Amen. It seems like everybody here in this chapter is in the past if you would have been here now. My question this morning is what is our past or future excuses. For not accepting Jesus’s purposes today in our life. In our family. In our community. In our province or state and in our nation what is our past excuse and our future looking to the past can’t be done looking to the future is not ready to be done.
▶ 43:21 Hallelujah. You know God wants to use his people folks he chose to use his people and if we are going to get stuck in the past or we’re going to get stuck in the future well when Jesus comes he’s going to deal with the evil people well we’ve been waiting for 2 000 years for Jesus to come the Bible says that the righteous. Are supposed to rule and rule justly and they’re supposed to punish the evil doer and praise the wicked what are we waiting for. He said we use it as a school Jesus comes he’s writing all this mess out he wants to straighten this mess out right now could that be an amen. Hallelujah we can’t live in the past we can’t live in the future we’ve got to live in the presence. Okay well all the politicians are evil.
Scripture in this part
Hebrews 12:2 (NKJV)
looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
— Hebrews 12:2 (NKJV)▶ Hear it at 42:16Can God change our generation?
Short answer: Yes; Rome’s evil laws didn’t stop the apostles.
▶ 44:16 So what. Can God change things in our generation if we ask him and seek him can he change things did he say if my people which are called by my name will humble themself and pray and turn from their wicked way then I will what hear from heaven and heal what their land forgive their sin and heal their land do we want our land healed. We can’t stop at prayer we got to repent and we got to get up and fight isn’t that what Israel had to do they had to pray they had to repent. Admit their sins and then they had to get up and fight. Hallelujah. Well evil laws you know we can’t preach we can’t do this and can’t do that.
▶ 45:13 Rome had all kinds of evil laws and it didn’t stop Jesus from preaching or the apostles from preaching is that an amen not only wrong but the Jews had a lot of laws that forbade them to preach did they stop preaching no way. But see if we live in the past we live in the prayer we always have an excuse. And God wants to deliver the innocent from the evil bullies well pastors and priests are evil yes they are we read about it every day almost but because some pastors and some priests are evil and and doing things they shouldn’t do. Does that mean we just set back and do nothing. No that should excite us more and and drive us more to rise up and stop this evilness in the earth could that be an amen. Hallelujah.
Are bad schools an excuse?
Short answer: No; parents must be responsible.
▶ 46:06 The schools are evil parents are evil oh we’ve got all these excuses oh the kids are bad because the parents are bad well God is bigger than parents God’s bigger than kids God’s bigger than schools. And we need to find out what he wants to do well we already know he wants to set the captives free he wants to liberate people he wants the children to come unto him. And speaking of children because it’s dealing with a family here we’re going to deal with children this morning. Children dealing with children is like dealing with the marriage you know he that findeth the wife findeth the good thing and obtains favor of the Lord a man on the day of the wedding everybody’s happy and excited and we decorate and we do all this we have everything just right. And over 50 percent of Christians are divorcing.
▶ 47:01 When it comes down to being responsible. And hanging in there as strong powerful Christians we don’t. The way same way with children. Children oh man they’re a blessing of the Lord. Happy is the man that has his quiver full I got eight of them things and I’m a happy man all that. Oh it’s so wonderful we pass out the cigars or whatever we do you know bubble gum cigars or whatever and all that they’re all excited about a kid then a few days later they realize they got 20 years of responsibility to raise this thing. Can’t run with my pals. Anymore.
▶ 47:54 Can’t run off and surf like I used to I have responsibilities oh my gosh are you there. Oh everybody’s excited grandmas and grandpas are excited and everybody’s excited and then comes the responsibility of raising those children. To adulthood. Oh and we love that scripture that says honor and obey your parents for a long life ah yes children. Obey papa if you want to live long. And we’re good at that. But the New Testament adds something to it I don’t know if you noticed that it says obey your parents in the Lord if your parents aren’t telling you the right way to go that the Lord tells you you better watch out.
▶ 48:56 Could that be an amen so parents don’t have an excuse just to raise kids the way they want to raise them they’re supposed to raise them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. So here we are we’re happy we got our quiver full and then all the rotter correction man that that’ll change everything I’ll just beat obedience into it. And then time goes by and abuse comes in the home physical. Verbal. Sexual. Alcohol drugs the parents are tired of just raising kids they want to go back and have fun like they did when they were 18 and stupid. That’s.
▶ 49:56 True. Adults have kids without preparing themselves for an occupation a job and they can’t afford to raise them. Can’t afford to buy them clothes can’t afford to buy them food problems come. They’re neglected. Because there isn’t money there to provide for them. They use profanity. They get angry. From a lack of self-control. I’ve seen mothers lose it and beat. Their six-month-old baby with their fist right in front of me. And one of them everybody thought was the most meekest woman in the world because she was so submissive to her husband so quiet and all and she lost it right in front of me and beat this kid.
▶ 51:01 That kid wasn’t a year old. Well fist. I’ve seen it more in one time. Lack of self-control they get anger they lose their temper I’ve seen a lot of dads they can’t discipline their child they gotta. They get angry and they just beat the tar out of them and yell and scream at them and good God. I’ve seen kids so terrified of their dead that when their dad said something they shook just like that. I’ve seen them break their arms and break their legs spanking. Them. And then they tag them you’ll never amount to anything you’re stupid you know you’re ugly you’re fat no one ever marry you they tag them.
What harms children?
Short answer: Media with immorality, lack of discipline, runaways, trafficking and abuse; he cites statistics.
▶ 52:09 And then they bring in media cartoons and disney movies and all kinds of things where there’s immoral acts in there and the whole emphasis. Is immoral a lot of these movies make bad good and good bad they have you rooting for the villain instead of the victim. Can that be an amen. And because it’s cartoons and all this man. You’re getting my pictures and so their br their minds are fed the stuff. They stir them up to anger. When dead and mom can do something and the child can’t. It creates a problem. Dad can use profanity. But the six and seven-year-old can’t.
▶ 53:04 That. A kid like me I would pick it up I was born with a brain that that just thought different how come you can do it and I can’t. Are you there. Drinking alcohol well you’re 14. I want a drink no no no you can’t drink well why are you drinking well I’m an adult well why is it okay for an adult and it’s not okay for me. Are you there it stirs up anger. Drugs. All this stuff. Or I’ve seen parents just let them go they don’t discipline. You know they try to talk them into everything. Man they think an hour talk will get the job done.
▶ 54:02 Or they just ignore it and say they’ll grow out of it. That while they’re growing out the rest of us are driven crazy by their kids have you noticed that. While we’re waiting for them to grow out of their kids are driving everybody in the neighborhood crazy. No restraints so here you have the condition and a kid comes to you let me let me keep going. Okay these kids grow up this is this is the facts in America. 660 some thousand are abused every year children. From 1. To 20 years old. 243 000 of these are sexually molested sexually abused. Good God folks that is horrible do you understand the depth of that.
▶ 55:01 That is that is just. Gross every year so in 10 years you’ve got two and a half million kids. In America that have been sexually abused and millions more that’s been physically and mentally and emotional abuse. You’ve got 62 million kids that have been aborted since roe versus way that we celebrate this time of year. 1710 were murdered in 2018 just murder. And the majority of those was one year old or under. Murder a kid. Because we don’t have self-control. We can’t control our anger. 4.2 million kids run away every year.
▶ 56:01 One and a half million are out on the street every at any time in America. But they run away or the parents throw them away and I’m talking eight-year-old nine-year-old twelve-year-old teenager. They run away why because of the abuse in the home. The physical the mental the verbal and the other one. Ah. Now these are facts and they’ve been facts for a long time and these these statistics are climbing. They’re actually climbing. Six hundred thousand a year go into foster care because the parents can’t handle them and foster care is a failure the government’s paying big bucks for people to take care of children and homosexuals lesbians all kinds of riff raff are are fostering these kids are you out there and the church is silent.
▶ 57:07 Politicians are silent we think we’re being humanitarians because we got this federal uh supported. Foster care program going on. And the kids are being destroyed in it most of your criminals come from single-parent families and foster care are you out there this is a fact. And yet we just keep. Doing it let the kids suffer but don’t don’t touch the adults just let the kids. Suffer. 800 over 800 000 children.
▶ 58:01 Are. Trafficked sexually trafficked every year. Okay. The last time I reported this to you it was four hundred thousand. That was a few years ago it has more than doubled. And this is just the ones they know. How many of you know a lot of them they don’t know they don’t recommend everybody don’t come in and check in and say I’ve been trafficked I’ve been trafficked do they it’s only the ones they know. So this is a serious thing you got to kidnap the kid. You got to force your will on them. Now the punishment for trafficking and abuse is 15 years if they are under 14 and 10 years if they’re 14 and up I don’t know why it’s different somewhere they’re blaming that 14 year old.
▶ 59:09 In that sentencing. Our politicians just don’t seem to have it together though they’re from Harvard and yelled and all that okay. But the 25 are never even charged. And most of the ones that are charged go free. So time served for kidnapping a child is four and a half years kidnapping them and forcing them to do things that you want them to do the average time though the law says 15 years the average time is 4.5 years. Church there’s something wrong out here. Those kids are the most innocent thing we have. And the church world as well as any normal.
▶ 1:00:02 Human being should be protecting children could that be an amen. Child abuse is 3.5 years you can beat your tar out of your kids bust their eyes black their eyes and at the most you’ll serve three and a half years. A lot of it they don’t do anything to them prostitution trafficking. Is. 12 days. Isn’t that horrible. Now a kid comes to you. Are you going to and they’re saying one of these things is happening are you going to say honor and obey your parents.
▶ 1:00:55 The past method. Are you going to say oh man you make your parents happy you you go back home God God blesses parents with kids you go back home. You can’t live in the past you need a present word for them. And the present word is don’t offend these kids don’t call cause them to roam from the truth to roam from right. Or you will be cast into the sea you’re going to be corrected. Should child abusers be corrected. And not a slap on the hand well church why are we in America so silent on this. And you know being cast into the sea is capital punishment now in other words Jesus said they’re going to drown.
▶ 1:01:55 I mean you know hurting a child deserves some serious punishment and the reason we have this thing growing is there’s no one being punished enough to put the fear into the other ones that come in to do it. Ah. Now train them up in the way of the Lord. Not your way. When you talk to parents you got to tell them man you got to train these kids up in the way of God the right way to live rightly not your way not what you think is right when you talk to parents you got to be honest with them. Could that be an amen. And shouldn’t children hear that their parents should be raising them to live rightly. Yes that way they can judge it the Bible says.
What does Scripture say about discipline?
Short answer: Correct your child and you will save him from death.
▶ 1:02:52 That. If you discipline your your child. You will save him from death. And if you don’t discipline your child it brings dishonor to the mother now why they said the mother because mamas have a problem disciplining. In my lifetime they really have a problem disciplining their kids. Dads have a problem over discipline. All right they think they can just yell and slap them around and everything done. One verse says if you love your child you’ll discipline him often. You know some Christians I meet think they’re smarter than God.
▶ 1:03:47 It just amazes me. You know God said to spank your child. To save his soul. And they can’t handle thinking my little. Oh my goodness. They are smarter than God come on church. Do you see why we’re in the mess we’re in. But. When my parents forsake me my mom and dad forsake me the Lord will take me up. Now how is the Lord going to do that. Through the church through the believers. And we’re guilty in America.
▶ 1:04:41 Of knowing these facts and doing nothing about it could that be an amen. The scriptures also say. Well Jesus said when you accept the child or receive a child. You are receiving me. Oh Jesus come to me okay I’ll come to you go out there and help that kid that the parents are abusing. I’ll come to you. Are you there receive that child you’re receiving who. Man see there’s got to be some action. Are you hearing me today chuck. Hallelujah and every church whether they’re small or large we should be active in combating evil in this world.
▶ 1:05:37 And I’ve gone over my time I don’t have time even for an altar call or anything. I don’t want to wear the kids out we have a shorter service because we don’t want to wear the kids out we appreciate them being here. And. I just challenge you out there in facebook on youtube and those of you are. Here. Jesus loved Martha Lazarus Mary the religious people. Dead Lazarus sick Lazarus. Complaining Martha worried Martha troubled Martha busy Martha folks he loves us. And he wants to change your life. So that you can be used of him to change others lives especially.

Short answer: It is time for the church to take responsibility for protecting innocent children.
▶ 1:06:36 Innocent children it is time for the church in America to take responsibility for the failure of America and because we’ve been silent it’s time to stand up for the innocent children. Publicly. Prayerfully. And in action could that be an amen if you’re willing to. Entertain. That would you stand with me wherever you’re at and let’s just say God here I am like the prophet said use me all right if you’re willing to entertain that action. To stand up in America. Against the evil that people are doing and I had a lot of examples to tell you but I just don’t have time when you hear the examples it is so it is so disgusting.
▶ 1:07:39 Really disgusting father we just bow our hearts right now before you we thank you for your word we thank you Lord that through Christ we can do all things. That you’ve enabled us to do and Lord we can raise a family work and provide love our spouse love our children and yet we can be a mouthpiece for you in this nation for the innocent children that are being abused being hurt and being led the wrong way Lord we thank you that we can do all things all things in proper amount of time.
