JESUS SETS YOU FREE



How many have been delivered by the Blood of the Lamb? I want to share something the Lord is dealing with me a little bit here lately. You know, God loves us so much. He says above all else He wants us to be healthy and prosper. You know, He wants to prosper us. He wants us to be in good health. Praise God.

Jesus says when you go through the hell, He'll be there. How many know He went into hell and stole the keys of death? He took the keys, He didn't steal 'em, He took them. He demanded them. Praise God. And the high water, Jesus says, When Satan comes in like a flood, I'll raise up a standard against him.

Well, you know, there is an awefull lot of success stories, right here. There is a bunch of success stories about the building (TBN's International Production Center) and the people that have gotten together. This is a success for the Body of Christ. Did you know that? But more importantly, this is a success for our Lord and Savior Jesus. It is His success.

And yet a lot of times we get like brats, we get like brats. We want to give God a 'Christmas list', if you will? We go to Him all the time saying, 'I want this and I want that.' You know I went to God when I started serving the Lord. And I said, 'I want to live the way I live. And if my lifestyle starts going down, I ain't going to serve You that way anymore. I'll still be a christian, but I'll go do other kinds of music or I'll something, you know.' And I made Him a little deal, there, you know? Well, my accountants told me this year that I'm the only client they have working his way down the ladder of success. :) But seriously, I'm happier than I've ever been in my life. And I'm not going anywhere, not going anywhere.

But, you know, Jesus really doesn't owe us anything. If we really think about it, God owes me nothin'! What more could He do for me, but give His life? Our Father sent His only Son to die for us. And to give His life for us. You guys know me because I like to goof around. And I'm a joker. I'm always goofing off. I get in airplanes and people laugh and we have fun. And that's everywhere I go, that's called the joy of the Lord. Somebody actually accused me of being on drugs 'cause they said, I looked like I was too happy. :) You remember that? On television a christian group came against me and said, 'He's too happy. He laughes even when it's not funny. He must be on drugs!' :) Yes, the drug is called, the overdose of the Holy Ghost! That's what the drug is. I'm overdosing on the Holy Ghost. Praise the Lord Jesus.

YOU'RE MY PRAISE

Oh my Lord, when I think about my Jesus
And all you've done for me
The wonder of your precious love
Is how you set me free

(How many know the love we have for the Lord will never end. And the love He has for us will never end. A trillion years from today, we're going to be praising the Lord. I believe this building might still be standing, because I think everything that belongs to the Lord will be standing. Everythingelse will be gone.)

You're my praise; You're my praise
You're the song my heart is singing
You're my praise

(You know Jesus is your hope. Amen. Praise the Lord.)

You're my praise

(Praise You, Lord Jesus. Praise You, Lord Jesus.)

More awesome then the world can know
Is what You've done for me
The wonder of the death You shed upon the cross
The Blood is how You set me free

(I'm getting so tied up in this, I can't sing.)

Then my heart cries out to You
With a love that has no end
My soul begins to rise within
And worship You again

You're my praise; You're my praise
You're the song my heart is singing
You're my praise
You're the reason why I'm living
My very life and breath for me
You're my praise; You're my praise
You're my praise; You're my praise!

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Praise ye the Lord! Praise the Lord!

You people who say, 'Why is that ex-dirtball that I know here? I've seen him in concert, throwing up and all the other garbage that you saw before I was serving the Lord.' You say, 'Why is he here, today?' 'Cause I'll tell you. Rock'n'roll never set me free. Why am I not making albums that say Manic Nirvana?' I'll tell you why. 'Cause Buddha never set me free. Why am I not off making a tour of Mecca? Because Mohammed never set nobody free. Jesus is Lord. Jesus is Savior. You can worship false gods, but until you come to Jesus, you will never be set free. Because there is only one King. And His name is Jesus Christ. In this nation we're trying to diefy all kinds of things. We're trying to make dieties out of celebraties, out of Republicans, out of Democrats. Let me tell you somethin'. There ain't no political party going to set this nation free.; It's going to be by the hand of Almighty God. Praise the Lord!

My Deepest Love,
