We do offer transportation, the numbers on the screen, college, we'll be happy to come and pick you up. Come and receive what God has got in store for you. God bless you, hope you see you soon. Praise the Lord, welcome to God's Place Party for Jesus' ministry.

I'm here in my beautiful Washington, and it's an honor to be here to serve the Lord. We want to talk about keeping God's commandments, and we talked about this a few weeks ago about the Sabbath day. If you look at the commandments, I have them right in front of me, the 10. Went out of 10 says remember, and that's number four.

And the Lord says remember my disciples, remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. And so I was raised up going to a Baptist church, and always taught my whole life at Sunday. It was a Sabbath, and my whole life I went to church Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night. And but when I really, after everything I'd been through, I was in a coma for 37 days, and the doctors had pretty much given up on my life.

My mother was buying me a casket, my bitch was written up, and everybody had given up hope. But one, and that was the Lord Jesus Christ, and he sent a preacher, he laid his hand on me, said, Lord, if you'll just walk by, I'm leaving touch to him, you're going to come up from there. And he did, but before he did, he let me wake up and say, hey, I know it's unbelievable to a lot of people, but it's real to me, it's real to me, it's been here today. The devil had a hold of my hand, and he was about seven foot tall.

He had a big huge head, big huge shoulders, arms burnt, ashy colored. He had a tail coming, I was back about, I don't know, about four and a half feet long. He had like big ears pointed at the top, and it was a humongous creature, and he was just laughing at me like I've got you. And the Bible said in Romans 10, 13, who should ever call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.

And so the gate of hell caught out to God, and I want to thank him today for his love and his mercy and his grace that he pulled me from the Hills door. And the Bible says in Psalms 25, 14, that I will reveal my secrets to those who fear me. Well, you know, that put a fear in me, nobody, if you've seen what I've seen, I always, everybody would get a glimpse of hell, I really do, because the fear of the Lord is beginning to wisdom. And the fact that I've seen what I've seen, I don't know, I don't ever go back there anymore, and not only that, but I don't anybody else to go out there.

So that's why I'm here today. You know, I'm here today because, you know, I started seeking the Lord and God called me to preach. I had never read a book in my life. I could barely read.

You know, God has taught me the Bible says, and one thing I give you, I teach you all things. My Holy Spirit will teach you all things which will be the truth. And so God started revealing stuff more and more to me. You know, I was, you know, first right, you know, praise the Lord, talk that I can ask God to save me and live anyway.

I want to as long as I believe in Jesus. Of course, we know that's a lot from Satan. It's a strong delusion. The Bible speaks about that.

He said that God was in a strong delusion to make people believe a lie, because they've never come to love the knowledge of the truth. The truth of it is that you truly have to give God your whole heart, your mind, your soul, and your strength. And the only way you can do this is through relationship, is to die to yourself. You know, we can't serve two masters.

We can't, the Bible says the flesh is winning, the spirit is winning against the flesh. Paul said, I was crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live not. But Christ lived in me in the life I live now.

I live by faith that the Son of God who loved me and gave His self for me. So, you know, I started seeking the Lord every day, every day I'm alive and seeking God and seeking God. And, you know, that's what he takes. He said the Bible said he is a rewarder to those who diligently seek Him.

And so, he started waking up in the middle of the night. And he started to, I woke me up one night and started to reveal him about the Sabbath. And so, it was like, you know, it was completely different from anything I've ever was taught or, you know, any place I'd ever been. And so, I started researching it.

And so, you know, if you go to Genesis chapter 2 verse 3, God created heaven and earth in six days. But on the Sabbath day, He rested and He sanctified that day. So, you know, it's not by accidents or coincidence, all the 10 commandments, you know, praise the Lord. And this is the commandments that God took Moses upon the mountain and he wrote with his own finger.

And he said, in stone and he said, this is a perplexal covenant that's meant to be kept forever and ever and ever throughout the generations. I think he says forever, like three times in Exodus chapter 32, 35, chapter 32 and 35. And you know, this is not the Moses' law, this is God's law that he actually spoke. He spoke, amen, and wrote with his own finger.

This is the only time in the Bible that I was saying, God, write anything with his own finger. And so, the reason he wrote it in stone, that's just the fact it spoke to be kept, it's written in stone. And that's powerful, you know. And so, more than I started researching it and studying it.

And I started to understand that God was starting to feel himself to me that we're grieving the spirit. You know, God, he looks at us and he judges us on the way that we keep his commandments. It's not a suggestion that we keep his commandments. No, we're not in our law, you know, if we walk in spirit, but once we know, maybe we spoke about the laws upon the table of our heart.

We spoke about the law of our heart and our mind are selling our strength. Absolutely. And so, you know, the Bible says in it brought to my attention, you know, in the book of Timothy in chapter 3 verse 5, he says that people have a form of godliness, but they deny the power of, they're of. And so, what happened is the reason that it got changed is because years ago before cross, they used to worship the sun as a sun god and they'd worship it on Sunday, the world did.

And so, then what happened is when there was a Roman Catholic king called Constantine, and after Jesus was crucified and resurrected, you know, just like the day, you know, the church wants to line up with the world. And I hate to say that, but it's the truth. I mean, we'll get into that later. But Constantine said, well, since everybody's worshiping the sun on Sunday, we'll worship the place of God, the resurrection of Jesus.

Well, it changed the Sabbath over to Sunday and worship Sunday because he was resurrected on the Sunday. But God never told anyone to change that. You know, God's the same God today yesterday forever more. Now, there's a pamphlet I've got here a little brochure.

And I do want to say that was the last time, just a few months ago, that we'd talked about the Sabbath and I've got so much response. And there was a little saint that called me from Maryville. She lives behind wild girls. I remember talking to her and I was going to go out and give her some, some breaks of Bible scripture, some information, she's real hungry and thirsty to know more.

And that's the way we ought to be. And but I broke it. My phone, he got damaged, run over to Lomor. And I lost all her information.

So if you're out there, if you hear this message, please, contact me again. I do repent for not doing, you know, getting out there and meeting you and I lost all your information. But we got so many calls on this, on this, on this message here today. And this pamphlet was, this was made, this came from a pamphlet that was made in 1885.

And it's, it shows 60 Bible facts concerning the Sabbath day. And it's also, it goes on 40 Bible facts concerning the first day of the week. And so just a few things I've written down here, you know, after work, it says, after work in the first six days of the week in creating this earth, God rested on the seventh day, Genesis chapter two, one through three. And it says, therefore the Sabbath day, we must always be God, must always be God's Sabbath day.

Can you change your birthday from the day which you were born? He says to one which you were not born. Neither can you change God's rest day to the day on which he had not rest. He says, so in other words, the Sabbath is the day the Lord said, I sanctified in Genesis.

He says, I created heaven and earth in six days, but on the Sabbath, he said, I rested and I sanctified that day. So, and so many people you ask him, you know, about the Sabbath. They said, why do my Sabbath? Who's Sabbath?

I mean, who are you? I mean, who are we? Who are we to try to change the creator of this universe, the creator of heaven and earth, creator of everything to change the day that he has sanctified? There's no scripture authority whatsoever.

And it goes on, here's one that really sticks out. He says, the Lord requires us to honorable. He says, Isaiah, feet eight, thirteen, he says, be wire. You, who delight in calling it an old Jewish Sabbath.

A lot of people say, well, it's a Jewish holiday. It's a Jewish, the Jewish dude does that. But see, this is not, this is not about the Jews. This is from the creation of the world.

Amen. And he also says, after the holy Sabbath has been trotted down many generations, it is to be restored in the last day. And that's in Isaiah chapter 58, verse 12 and 13. So God says, you know, he's going to restore the Sabbath.

And I can see that because he's got me, you know, using me as a will and vest or everywhere I go. He's got me teaching, you know, preaching through me and talking to people. And it's amazing because, you know, after God had told me, go and spread the gospel about honoring God's Sabbath day. I mean, there's sometimes I run into two or three preachers of miniatures a day.

And a lot of times when we do roof and I'll pull up and, you know, come up for a roof repair and I have a shingle blowed off. And Lord said, you know, you're about to shingle. You're here to talk to him about the Sabbath. Just a couple weeks ago, Shannon, I was, we had a privilege to go out and preach in revival where they were shared with churches involved and got to talk to one of the leaders about the Sabbath.

And, you know, every person that we've brought this up, every one of them says, you're right. And it's not, they were right. It's God's right. You know, you know, what's about us?

He says in John 14 asked anything in my name and I would do it. But if you love me, then keep my commandments. Amen. So he tells you in Proverbs, in 1916, he said, those who keep the commandments, keep it his own soul.

But those who despise my way shall die. You know, God judges us the way that we keep his commandments. He tells us in 1 John 2, 4, we say we know him and not obey his commandments and we're liars. And of course not in us.

So he says, if we, you know, if we add or take away from the book of this prophecy, you know, we'll be cursed. He said, our names will be taken out of the books of life. Amen. That's part of adding and taking away.

Dura on in chapter 5 verse 12, he says, keep that satutah to sanctify it as the Lord that God had commanded thee. The Bible tells you in 1 John 3, 22, he says, whatsoever you ask, we receive of him because we keep his commandments and do those things pleasing in his sight. He said, he to keep his commandments, dwell it in him and he and him. He said, we know that if he abided in us by the Spirit, which he had given us, numbers, chapter 15 verse 40, remember, and do all the commandments and be holy into your God.

You know, there's a scripture in numbers. In chapter 15 verse 33, where he found a man, gathered in sticks and brought him to Moses and Aaron and because it prays God, they caught just me carrying some sticks through his yard. He brought him to Moses and Aaron and said, what must we do with this man? He's broke his head today.

The Lord stepped up and said, this man was picked up today. Now this isn't the Old Testament, this is for Jesus' common and all this but God. You know, he's still the same God today yesterday, forevermore. We do have the Lord Jesus interceding for us every day.

There is love and mercy and grace, but at the same time, once you know the truth, it's better than not to know the ways of righteous and to know and turn away from the holy commandments that delivered to us. And so, you know, guys, I believe that we're wondering, you know, people think that the miracles in the days back in the old apostles, I mean, the apostles, the miracles people have been raised from the dead and all that the healings and the Lord, and God gave us power and authority over all devils and care, all diseases. That's in the New Testament. And the reason we're not seeing the miracles is because in Acts 5, 32, he said, I will give my spirit to those who obey me.

We're hindered in a relationship with God by breaking this commitment. If he says, if you say, you know me and I'll obey my commitment to the Lord, then you know what, most probably 90% of people in the churches don't even know the 10th. The 10th commandments. Praise God, that God has given us, excuse me, praise Lord.

So it's so important that we know what God expects from us. Amen. If anything, the Lord is guilty of all. James 2, 10, who should ever keep the whole off, even in one point is guilty of all.

Amen. So, guys, you know what, we live in the last hours. I believe that God is coming back soon. He said in Luke 21, 25, you know that in the times there'll be signs in the sun, in the moon, there'll be times in the waves of roaring, signs in the waves of roaring, there'll be stress upon the nations, amen.

And we see all that, you know. We preach to the whole world. The God will be preached to the whole world. And that's what he's doing today, you know, just because, you know, I even, there's a pastor came to me and he says, you know what, brother?

I get it. You're exactly right. And he says, but if I go back and tell my congregation, I'm going to lose my congregation. He says, because, but if I don't tell my congregation, then I put my congregation before God.

Now listen, this is, this, we all, God is a general God. But I do want you, I mean, God is asking me, praise God, God is asking you to, to, to research it, to study. I mean, to see, you know, people, there's more and more people that realize the truth that that Saturday is a Sabbath. It actually starts from Friday sundowns to Saturday, not Sunday.

We got six years old son and he goes, mama, he says, does it make any sense? You know, Sabbath, he said, you know, some, but he said, I don't make no sense. It's a Sabbath, not the sun, but and so, you know, even her children are understanding. And that's what, that's why the Bible says straight as a gate and there was a way to probably lead to destruction and meaning we'll go there, they're at.

And so, you know, my job is to be a servant to the Lord. Just, I'm not here to preach to nobody. I'm here to, I'm not here to please me. And I'm here to deliver you a message and just Jesus himself said, just doctorate is not mine.

But is he that sent me? Now, if it's written in the Bible, you can't live on bread alone, but by everywhere they proceed, all the mouth of God, then I mean, praise God. I mean, God is a just God, amen. And he's, he can't tell us one thing into another, amen.

He cannot lie. And so, if we're not keeping this commandment to this goes from, you know, the book of Genesis, you know, you know, God, even Jesus, you know, it talks about it. And there it talks about even Jesus kept a Sabbath day. Even Jesus kept a Sabbath day, man.

He ministered on the Sabbath. Now, we do a lot on the Sabbath as far as the Lord's work because we're, we're, we're doing it for the Lord. We have church on the Sabbath. God uses us to, as will investors to feed the homeless on the Sabbath, drive buses on the Sabbath.

But, you know, read chapter, Isaiah chapter 50, and chapter 58, where he talks about distracting your own pleasure. You know, let everything be on our God. He says, even the words that comes, that we speak, let it honor God. Amen.

You know, years ago, see, people has gotten, it's just like throughout the traditions. And, you know, generations, people has gotten further and further away from God's word. And God is the still the same God today, yesterday, forever more. But, you know, Genesis chapter 6, he talks about Noah, God come in and destroy the whole world.

But eight people know his day. But, it talks about Noah did. All that God can many of them to do. And so, and he goes all the way to Revelations in chapter 22, where he says, he said, praise the Lord, he said, he did his unjust, letting be unjust, he did his filthy, letting be filthy steel.

He said, he does holy, letting be holy. He said, he does righteous, letting be righteous. He said, behold, I come quickly and my reward is with me to give to every man, according to his works. He says, I am Alpha, Omega, the beginning, the end, bless, he that keeps my commandments.

Amen. You know, my son told me the other day, he said, I want to go to tomorrow. I said, really, I'm the Sabbath? I said, praise the Lord, you know what, realize breaking the Sabbath is just in God's eyes.

We look at it as something so simple, so small. But, you know, they line up with the other 10. And if you broke them, when you broke them all, it's just the same as murder. Amen.

You know, the break when the God's commandments, it's just, you know, it's unrighteous. And the Bible says, be not deceived for the unrighteous, shall I not hear the king of God. Now, you know, there's a lot that, you know, we, we, shed on both. We, we want to grow in.

I mean, I believe that we all can do better. But by the grace of God, you know, we, we honor the Sabbath. We don't, we don't go to Lake. We don't go to the mountains.

So many people justify, well, I'm, I'm praising Lord by going to Gotlenburg. You know, that's to ride some rides or to do whatever. That's the way I, you know, I worship the Lord. But literally, it's a time that God wants to rest in Him.

He sanctified that day. He wants to do nothing but just, just, I look forward to the Sabbath. You know, all day I get to spend time with God. And then when I get time resting in the Lord, then we're, you know, we're, you know, go out and preach the gospel, bring people in, you know, to further the kingdom.

Go ahead. You know, he says, and I think it's Hebrews 48. He says if he would have spoken of another day, you know, what, what even not a toadus. Right.

And see, he never says that the Sunday is a Sabbath. There's no scripture saying Sunday Sabbath, you know, as a seventh day Sabbath. And you know, it wasn't sanctified or blessed. So there's no enforcement for us to keep the Sunday law.

And you know, the Bible says in Romans, you know, where there is no law, there's no transgression. You know, there's no enforcement. There's no sin there. And so, I mean, Sunday is, is not being enforced by God or, you know, even Jesus never mentioned it.

And it talks about how, you know, Sunday is just been changed, like you said from King Constantine, and everybody's following traditions of man. The Bible says that, you know, we have been trust to be put in the gospel of God, that we not speak, pleasing to man, but pleasing to God. And that should be our number one concern, you know. You know, that's, that's so true.

And right here's a good little, uh, little scripture says, uh, he said it is a sign of the true God by which we are to know him from a false God in Ezekiel chapter 20 verse 20. But, you know, here's the problem guys, we have got to quit trying to be men pleasers. We got to quit trying to, I think, uh, uh, praise God, what is it, Jeremiah 23? He says, well, we're to the pastors that scatter my sheep.

Uh, you know, we're supposed to do everything in love and show the, the, the God pay love, the unconditional love that God shows us to each and every one. But truly if you have the love of God in you, you don't want people to know the truth. You don't want anybody on that broad path that's going to lead to destruction. If you've got the love of God in you, you want to bring people, uh, to, to, to, to, you know, to the kingdom of heaven, amen.

And so this is, uh, this is one thing that a lot of people is not teaching about and not preaching about, but I believe it was on the heart that getting, there's going to be more than hear more about it. Uh, people is going to be out preaching about it. Uh, you know, I thank God for revealing this to me. Uh, it was only Holy Spirit that, that showed me, I never had a man to tell me anything like this.

Uh, praise God as, as, as, as far as I can remember, is, uh, the Holy Spirit. And, but listen, we have got to line our lives up with the Word of God. Uh, the Bible says, if you say you know me and not obey my commandments, you're a liar and the truth's not in you. Uh, so all I'm asking you, Jesus said, I tell you the truth and you believe me not.

Well, this is the Word of God. He's never told us to worship Sunday as a Sabbath. He tells us all through the Bible, Saturday is a set, not even in the new law. Amen.

Uh, but praise the Lord. I encourage you to, if you really, I believe that true believers out there today really want a closer relationship with God. Well, this is how we do it. Amen.

We're much as given as much required. And you know, God wants to perfect the work that He started in us. Amen. I believe that the manifestation, once I, once God has taught me about the Sabbath, I've seen more and more manifestation.

I've seen people healed of cancer over and over again. I had opportunity to see a man, God raised a man from the dead. And John 1421, he has my commandments and keep it my commandments. It is, he that loves me and he that loves me will be loved by my father and I will love him and I will manifest myself to him.

A lot of people don't believe in the miracles no more. Uh, they say that's for the days of the apostles. Well, that's not true. God, God is still performing miracles.

He's looking for will and vessels that will be obedient. He gives the spirit to those who obey Him. The Bible is sitting in the book of Romans. Grace and apostleship is given through obedience.

Amen. So regardless of what the world is doing today, we're not out of this world. When Jesus came to this world, everything that He taught was totally against the grain of what people was believing. People thought, but you know what?

Her ways is not God's ways. Amen. His ways is not our ways. Heaven is above our.

So His ways is higher than our ways and His thoughts is above our thoughts. So we're all called to be servants. We all come to Him as a child and cross the Bible. So He did not come to Him as a child.

Shown out in here at the Kingdom of God. This is one of the commandments. Whosoever keeps the whole law offended. One point is guilty of all.

So let's get this right. Let's let's pray for one another. The Bible said, my people are so sorry from lack of knowledge. That means lack of information.

And I want to thank God for the information God has given you today. Amen. So grab a hold of this. The Bible said, it will turn their ears from the truth.

There's going to be some people out there that they will say, oh man, it's crazy. You've been going to church. My mom, how far has been going to church? I've been watching Sunday, the Sabbath, your whole life.

We don't matter. Praise God. Let's research it. Let's study it.

Show ourselves a proof. A word. It needs not to be a shame, but rightly divided the word of truth. If you're not rightly divided, then you're wrongly divided.

Amen. And so let's get praise of us. Work together. Set the example on what God has called us to do.

Amen. Praise the Lord. I've always had my business. The business God's having.

It's been open on Sunday, closed on Saturday, we didn't sell a car. Our clothes on Saturday because we have got to do. We have got to the Bible said, whatever we do, it needs to be done in decent. It needs to be in order.

We need to line our life up with where to God. We'd love for you guys to come out and visit us at God's Place Church. God's doing amazing things. We do ask you to pray for this ministry.

This is God's ministry. We're just blessed to be a part of it. We're started at God's Place Church. We don't have no titles.

It's just a shannen in the team. Amen. And it loves Jesus. And so we're just blessed to be a part of what God's doing.

I love being in the relationship with God. Listen, there's a lot of people religiously going to church, but this is how we get a true personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Seek God every day. He told us to stop us.

Can you not watch him probably with me one hour? Make sure you at least spend an hour with God every day. If God even sins in your life, praise the Lord. Most people do.

Unless you're seeking God, we can overcome sin through the blood of the Lamb and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Sin has no more dominion over us. Let's get down, cry out to God and ask God to help us and keep us. He said, if you confess your sins, he has faithful and just forgive you and clean you from our unrighteous.

We'd be happy to come and pick you up. The number's on the screen for any transportation. 30, 9 at 7 o'clock, Saturday at 6 o'clock. Pray for us.

We'll pray for you. We love you because God loves you. Tune in next week. Thank you.

Thank you for tuning in. God bless you and have a good night. Listen to the book of John chapter 3 verse 3 that you must be born again. And being born again means that you ask God to come in your heart and save you from your sins.

The Bible said, if you confess your sins, he is faithful and just forgive you and clean you from all unrighteousness. And now it means your life don't blow to you no more. It belongs to him. And the Bible says, trust God to be whole heart and not to lean on your own understanding.

Know the truth and God to God your past. Now it's time to get a relationship with God by reading and praying and seeking God to be whole heart each and every day of your life. The Bible says the number one and greatest commandment is to love God with your whole heart, your mind, your soul and your strength. Thank you for tuning in.

God bless you. For more information on the Lord is on the screen. Feel free to call us. Have a good day.
