hello my friends how are you today I would like to talk to you about loving God it requires hard
choices ok so a lot of people may show up to church and they may say oh I love God and and
they may I think they do and what you should know is that God loves you ok so God loves God loves us
and but when you really love God you're going to be presented with these choices and you're going
to have to make some hard choices when it comes down to like if you really love God not just show
up to a church building but if you really love God there's going to be hard choices you have
to make people are going to want are going to be pulling at you and they're gonna say like I
want you to do this or let's go do this and maybe you know God's calling you in a certain direction
maybe you know God wants you to go to college and finish your degree and maybe you have friends who
are like trying to pull you back and say no don't do that and so maybe by you going to you know you
may lose a lot of those friends friends who are like you know oh don't don't go to college just
keep working here let's just do this and but um whatever the path is they God wants you on
there are going to be people who disagree with you and when when there's people in your life
and they're saying we want you to do this and it might be your father your mother your wife
your brother your sister friends acquaintances business associates the boss but when if people
are in your life and they're saying we want you to do this and you tell them I'm not going to do that
that and when you are not willing to give there's going to be some problems in your life and it's ok
like it's completely ok there may be some people that might have to go you're from your life and
there's some type of some people are toxic some people are negative and it's actually better for
you to kind of get rid of those people out of your life and having knew where people come in
your life so um yeah I have personally experienced the wrong type of people in my life and it's been
absolutely amazing to have distance between myself and some of the toxicity and so it's
it's actually really really good and once you get away from some of these people sometimes it might
be hard for people to see reality if they're around these people speaking lies into their
life and trying to actually hold them back from what God has planned for them and so when you
can separate yourself from them and I actually get some distance it can actually help you with
your head to clear your head to not listen to the lies and basically the the devil would like to
hold you back from God's purpose and he may use other people's mouths speaking into your ear to
try to confuse you misdirect you get you off the path get you believing things and your actions
may go and start doing things that are contrary to the will of God now some people might have feared
that maybe like oh you know if I surrender it all to God he's gonna make me do something terrible
we need to understand that God is the perfect father okay he has your best interest in mind
God designed you for a purpose like he has special gifts and talents inside of you maybe you're um
maybe you're really good at math maybe you're really good at science like there's something
in you that's very special and unique and so if you are like really really good at accounting
you know your calling it might not be to stock shelves in a grocery store it just might not be
because God may have put something you know that maybe you're supposed to be doing accounting work
somewhere there's this there are certain areas and giftings that you may carry that like maybe
you're designed with for like for leadership and you're a natural leader you know it may not be
your job like to sit there and be like a follower and work for someone this constantly maybe you're
just designed to be the boss and that's that's okay maybe you're designed to be a follower and
you weren't you don't want to be a boss and you're like I don't want that pressure and responsibility
that's okay like people different people are made different and so it's really important to find
out who you are but um I just want to caution you and let you know that when it comes time to make
these decisions and when you start and you're stepping out into what God has planned for you
and if you can expect there to be resistance you can expect family members to like try to
hold you back and friends friends to try to hold you back and I just I really encourage you it's
really important to here know how to hear God's voice to yourself and be very confident in what
you're supposed to be doing and you can pray to God and say God please direct me please show me
my purpose please help me to do it he might give you a dream he might give you all kinds of stuff
but it's really important for you to know his will and to act very confidently when that time
comes and you may have some people who may try to hold you back and then maybe they'll go out
of your life for a time and then maybe they'll come back in later and that's okay but the most
important thing is to stay in the will of God and don't feel bad if people are trying to hold
you back and you're not doing what they want some people might maybe they feel guilty if they're not
like trying to please everybody well you know it's just not your job to please everybody you
can't please everybody and it's completely fine so um I really encourage you find your purpose
know who you are know what you're supposed to be doing and don't let anybody hold you back you know
a lot of people there's a lot of talk on maybe the news internet and people might be like this
you know all this like advice and stuff but - see the thing is people have their own unique purpose
and so what's good for me may not be good for you and so some people maybe they didn't live their
life destiny and what they were supposed to do it maybe they have a life full of regrets because
they didn't push through with sports when they when they were super talented at like football
or baseball and they know that they should have been playing like on the pro level and they like
didn't give it their all maybe they're a lazy slacker maybe some things and so they may try
to take like what they should have done and try to put that on other people and if they're trying to
like if they should have been a pro like football player and they're trying to put it on someone who
just doesn't have that ability it's just it's it's really dumb it's not really you know don't accept
other people trying to stuff their what they think their identity should be or what their identity is
like on you it's okay to just be like you know I'm not gonna do that and just be yourself and
like you don't have to be like anybody else and so when you know who your father is and you're
confident of of where you are and a lot of people aren't confident they don't know who they are in
Christ they're very insecure because they don't know their identity they know and you need to
know who your identity is so your identity like when you are right with God is that you are God's
Son and he loves you and so when you when you become right with basically God loved everyone
he loved the world even while they were sinners so he sent Jesus on the cross Jesus died on the
cross for our sins and he died and rose again so that's how much God loves you is that he was
willing to pay at all like so hit like the highest price for you and so it's kind of like if I rob a
bank and the judge like hits the hammering goes you're going to jail for twenty years and then
you step forward and you're like I'll go to jail for criminal I will take his place so Kendell can
be out scot-free and you did that that's kind of like what Jesus did but I'm an on a greater scale
so basically we've all done wrong so Jesus died on the cross for our sins he died and he rose
again he shed his blood for us he so he shed his blood for us he died and he rose again and he did
it for us but when someone's offering you like a million dollars and you don't reach out your
hand and say I'll take you just like to stare at them you don't get the million dollars you got to
reach out and you got to be like Oh God did that for me so I can be right with him I'll take that
and so the way to take that is you basically tell God you say God you know you just need to know
that everyone's done wrong and the way to be the only way to be right with God is through Jesus so
you're just some place that you were like god you know I know I'm a sinner I know I've done wrong
I know Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins I know he died and rose again please come in and
be the Lord of my life in Jesus name Amen and we and so when you when you do that with your whole
heart me I'm gonna go do it again basically I was praying and you can pay after me but you need to
know that we've all been wrong God had just has a solution it's Jesus Jesus died on the cross for
our sins he said his blood for us he died and rose again so you need to reach out and take it and so
basically the way to be right with God you can ride with got about 30 seconds this prayed after
me and mean it with your heart don't just let it be words like mean it with your heart you know and
it's like reaching out and taking and being like that's mine that's for me um I like Billy you know
know that Jesus and believe it and receive it and um so here we go let me go ahead and pray
say yeah dear Heavenly Father just repeat after me say did your home the father I've done wrong
I'm a sinner I know Jesus Christ
that on the cross he shed his blood for me
I know he died
I know Jesus Christ died and rose again
please come in and be the Lord of my life
please fill me what's you holy spirit in Jesus name Amen
my friends if you just did that you just got right with God and that means you're part of the family
that means God is your father and that means um that um God loves you with the same way that he
loves Jesus and so when God's looking like you can know it like basically I sure like going around
you know that you are the son the daughter of the king of God and so what God wants is
more important than what other people want so when other people are like pulling at you and saying we
want you to do this and we want you to go become a doctor because that's what our family does and
you know God has does not want you to be a doctor you know God wants you to be a lawyer or maybe
they're saying we want you to be a lawyer and you like no I'm not supposed to be a lawyer you know
that you're supposed to go and go become a doctor it's like whatever it is that God has for you you
just do it and you know that no matter what other people think of you no matter what they like are
pulling at you if they have negative criticism you know that you are secure in love that God loves
you and so you that God is your rock and you're secure no matter what you have God's love and so
you're going to be okay even if you have negative criticism and people trying to hold you back and
people trying to speak negatively of you that you're going to be okay and you can make those
hard choices much more confidently and you can say you know what I'm going to do this and they
may say well I don't really want to be around you if you're not gonna do what I want and they
might say in different words than that but you know and it's just like okay bye you know like
you just do God's will but you're going to have to make hard choices I want to go ahead and pray too
I'm gonna pray if you don't get the Holy Spirit baptism it helps you date it helps
you to hear God's voice and walk in power I mean father please give them all the everyone
who's eligible the baptism in the Holy Spirit right now in Jesus name you just
say you just say dear Heavenly Father I receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit
in Jesus name Amen
the only father I receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit in Jesus name Amen if either please give
them all the complete baptism the Holy Spirit Doosan baptize you in the Holy Spirit father
please fill them all completely with your love your joy and your peace and your Holy Spirit do
you Father I am part on them everything you want them to have please give them every impartation
you want them to have God help them to all feel your presence and your love your joy the peace
always be right the second please give them all the complete baptism the Holy Spirit is
eligible Lord um please help them to hear your voice and obey and please help them to be able
to make these hard choices that they have in life confidently help them to to do it lovingly as you
want them to do but help them to stay on your perfect path and not be led astray by people
pulling at them trying to get them to do the wrong things God ask them thank you help them
to give them favorites you want Lord and please help them to hear your voice understand interpret
and obey and nobody your voice confidently and not be led astray about other people and the negative
voice any any negative voices Lord and help them to do your will only Lord adduced name helping
your voice I understand interpreter band Jesus amen my friends also want to really encourage
you when there's people pulling at you saying I think you should do this and I think you should
do that and it's totally contrary to what you know you should be doing it's better to be very
firm with people and say I'm not going to do that then it is to sit there and try to be polite and
listen to them for like 15 minutes on the phone or face-to-face while they try to convince you
and allow the devil to get all these lies in your head I'm just telling you right now it's
better to just cut the conversation short and say I'm sorry I don't want to or just be like
I don't want to talk about this I'm not talking with you about this I'm on God's path if they're
on the phone with you you can be like hey you know what I'm on God's path if you want to try
to get me off it I'm done with this relationship and with this phone call and just be like firm
and then once people's can see that they cannot push your boundary some people might if they try
to push it anyways you may just have to cut them off but if people can see that like hey I cannot
push this person around he's going to his path then they might want to be your friend but they
may see that there's a boundary in place and they may not want to cross it okay so it's much better
my friends to be firm with people when you have to make these hard choices I think I've actually made
a mistake of like listening to someone before while their person is just like telling me this
stuff like I was not God's plan for my life it was absolutely not God's plan not God's purpose and
I sat hour I was like standing or whatever like listening to this person on the phone just like
speaking the stuff into me which was completely not God's will for me this person was what what
what this person and their knowledge thought that I should do which was not God's path for me so I'm
it's better to just cut cut the bad voices off like quickly so um anyways don't listen to the
negative people do god's path know what your path is and you should really pray that god will help
you to know what your path is and i'll give other please help them know what you pet a plan purpose
for your life is God or for their life is God please often know you the path purpose you have
for their life and please something know your voice and obey it and use Damon and my friends
when your which you wanted to hear God's voice he can talk a lot of different ways like you
may have a prophet come and give you a word God might use a prophet not everything that someone
says who who says calls themselves the prophets necessarily true maybe they're eighty percent
accurate just you know but maybe you'll see like it maybe you're listening for God's voice and you
see like a flash of light and you'll hear God that might be one way maybe you'll be listening
for God's voice and you feel something in your body and you hear God's voice maybe you get a
dream or a vision about us I think it's like a third of the Bible is made it for dreams of
visions of what came out of that so you may know what a dream is but a vision is like maybe you're
awake and you might just see like a picture and you might be like wow like maybe you're
you you see a picture of like a horse going down the path and then you see it at the path you see
veterinary school and you're like what does that mean God and you may say I want you to be on the
path to veterinary school got a good go become a vet of a veterinarian and you're like oh wow
and and um and you may you may literally you see like a picture of a horse going down the path or
something towards veterinary school or something you can think okay or maybe um you'll you're
listening for God's voice and use you might see a word like you might literally just see a word
and you may say what is that like I'd like to work my stay at Harvard and you may say what is it what
are you saying god he may say I want you to go to Harvard or maybe you'll be some other college or
maybe you'll be like a trade school or something or maybe you'll see you just listen for his voice
he can talk a lot of different ways like but so dreams visions may he see a flashlight here and
say something gonna feel something you divided me here and say this to say something and you
could also ask God you can say God please confirm it for me and he might confirm it the same thing
like maybe like two or three times but um and you may also have like a knowing in your heart
like you just know maybe you'll have like peace about something and you may but it's okay to say
God you know we please confirm it for me please help me to know for sure and Jesus amen and God
is very faithful and loving and you can ask how to confirm it for you so many ways my friends I
