I have come out of alcohol, out of bondage, out of death, out of hatred and violence. You know, the name above all names is Jesus. If the name of Jesus is lifted up, He says, I will draw all men unto Me. Men and women, you know, Jesus is the one you need to see. And Jesus is the one we need to praise. The Word of God says in Psalm 146, The Lord sets prisoners free. You say, 'I'm not a prisoner.' If you don't know the Lord Jesus, baloney, you're a prisoner. You're bound to somethin'. You might be bound to a person; you might be bound to a job; you might be bound in sickness; you might be bound in frustration, and hatred, and lack of love, and loss of self-esteem, in violence; you might be bound in poverty. Let me tell you somethin'. If you don't know the Lord Jesus, you're in prison just in your own space. The Lord sets prisoners free.

And the Lord gives sight to the blind. You say, 'I'm not blind.' If you have not opened your eyes, and received Jesus as your Lord, you're not even seein' anythin'. You don't see the truth. You don't see anythin' goin' on around you. All you look at is, you see somebody doin' something on the news. You see somebody go into, like we saw yesterday, some people in different parts of the country went into the Post Offices; and murdered and killed people in Post Offices. And you look at it; and say, 'Oh, some nut case shot a bunch of people.' Well, let me tell you somethin'. There is someone who is behind every murder, and every killin' on this planet. His name is satan. But you don't have to be bound up by satan. You need to open your eyes; you need to see who your enemy is; you need to confront your enemy. But, first and foremost, you need to receive Jesus as your Savior.

The Word of God says, The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down. You say, 'I'm wealthy. I've got plenty of money.' Yeah, but every knee shall bow, and every tongue will confess, that Jesus is Lord. You say, 'I'm not bowed down.' You will bow down. You will bow down to somethin'. And you will bow down. Even in this life time. Whether it's through love; whether it's through loss of your health; somethin', somethin' is gonna bow you down. And you need Jesus to raise you back up. The Lord loves the righteous. The Lord watches over the alien, the one who feels that like you don't belong. He sustains the fatherless, and the widow. Are you fatherless? Did your father ever tell you that he loves you? Has your father been around? Maybe your livin' with your father; and you still say, 'I don't even know him. I just stay in my little space in my bedroom, here. I don't know him. He doesn't seem to care.' Well, the Lord says, He sustains the fatherless, and the widow. But He frustrates the ways of the wicked.

About a year ago, one of the richest men in the entire world, billionaire, based out of England and New York. Died by fallin' over the side of one of the largest yachts in the world that he owned. And yet, this man owned all these kind of things, you know. Well, let me tell you somethin'. The ways of the wicked are frustrated. Now, if you're storing everything up into your wealth, everything up into this world, these are not the things of God. It's not wrong to prosper, but, what I'm sayin' is, The ways of the wicked are frustrated by life itself. You can't control, I don't care how rich, I don't care how powerful you are; you can't your destiny, with regards to life and death. Even this man that was worth millions, fell over his boat and died. You've got to put your faith in more than the things of this world. The Lord reigns forever. Your God oh Zion, for all generations. Praise the Lord.

Some people think that the God that is worshipped in some parts of the country, or other parts of the world where they lift up an idol. They think this is God. It ain't God. You need to worship the God who created the heavens and the earth. And praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord Jesus.

My Deepest Love,
