you know but Hebrews 13 5 says this let your conversation be without
covetousness and be content with such things as you have for he has said
talking about the Lord I will never leave thee nor forsake thee he's there
his presence is there you're living a good life you're a good Christian in
God's eyes guess what he's there he's with you he's happy with you you bring
the light to us so a and for his pleasure we were created amen you know
so that's God's will for your life it's not just to go so when you're not just
abstain from fornication but to bring pleasure to the Lord to please the Lord
you know what whatever good thing you do God's gonna just bring you right back to
you well you do it to other people you did things unto the Lord
Bob says what's every good thing you do the same so you'll receive not from the
people of the Lord but from the Lord it'll come directly from him he'll make
sure that you'll get rewarded for the good that you do in this life and the
next so keep struggling keep doing right keep getting right with God or die
trying amen so I'll just read from Isaiah 54 4 says this fear not for thou
shall not be ashamed neither be thou confounded you know for thou shall not
be put to shame for thou shall for thou shall forget the shame of thy youth and
shall not remember the reproach of thy widowhood anymore for that maker is thy
husband the Lord of hosts is his name and that redeemer the Holy One of Israel
the God of the whole earth shall he be called no weapon that is formed against
thee shall prosper and in every tongue they shall rise against thee in judgment
thou shall condemn this is the heritage of the service of the Lord and the
righteousnesses of me sayeth the Lord so the first benefit that we get by being
good Christians is that God is with us 24 7 7 days a week you can go to him
anytime you want doesn't matter anytime anyplace anywhere driving to work coming
back from work walk into the park taking a little walk to get your exercise for
the day whatever the case may be he's there anytime and don't take that for
granted think about it you can go to the God of the universe anytime you want and
he will hear you unless you have iniquity in your heart because the Bible
says if I have iniquity in my heart the Lord will not hear me but think about it
the most powerful person on the planet anytime you want you can just come to
him come to him anytime anywhere it doesn't matter you know why because
that's the benefit you get direct to him for being good for living a good life
for being righteous for continuing to struggle continuing to fight continuing
harness guys says you know what I'll let you come to me anytime you want any time
any time doesn't matter if you're like oh my husband doesn't have time for me
God has time for you man my wife doesn't have time for me well God has time for
you my parents don't have time for me kids God has time for you seriously you
know growing up always wanted like a superhero dad you know always wanted a
superhero dad that was muscular you know will never yell at me will be like my
bodyguard you know I'm talking about never got it but I got something better
than that I got God seriously you know my dad was very skinny you know it was
like like me a fat skinny guy did a big belly skinny arms you know it wasn't a
Christian whatsoever he was Catholic you know I love my dad it's weird even
though my dad treated my mom not not perfect I still love them it's just how
children are they love their dad they love their parents you know even though
mom did more than anything for some reason you know I tend to kind of like
honor and love my dad more it's just one of those things you do you know so if
you have a dad praise the Lord but here's the thing though you know even if
I did it let's just say there is children out there parents have just
abandoned them or whatever you know happens a lot in the Philippines from
what I hear even happens in the streets you know kids are born out of wedlock
dad is gone you hear about it all the time especially with these NFL players
you know this head of her player didn't have a right his dad just left them you
know left them hanging with his mom or whatever and somehow they get the
motivation to become NFL players but they become rotten people once they get
money because it's the prosperity of fools shall destroy them you know and
that's what tends to happen but you know what for the kids that we get saved make
sure you tell them look hey you can come to God anytime you want he's your friend
you know but he wants you to do right you know if you do right he'll bless you
if you don't he won't and tell him look you should do what's right when you get
older you know God wants to use you not just save you but it's only going to
happen if you live a good Christian life and these gangs and these drugs and what
you see on TV don't get into that you know because God's pleasure is better
than the world's pleasure and we'll get into that that's another benefit we'll
get his pleasure not the world's pleasure but I read Isaiah no weapon
shall be formed against these so the second benefit is that we'll have his
protection and I'm just throwing in there as a bonus and we'll have his
vengeance amen because guess what you know people are gonna talk trash about
good churches until Christ returns but he's gonna shut all their mouths he's
gonna rebuke them to their face and even before it returns he will pour out his
vengeance you know if he sees that is what needs to get done amen and we don't
have to worry about people hurting us because in reality a everything happens
in your life is a reflection of what you do or you felt to do you fail to
pray well guess what bad things happen is because you fail to pray and nobody
blamed but yourself you're living a righteous life bad things happen well
guess what that's a good thing but in the end just remember there's no one to
blame but yourself because what happens in your life is a reflection of what
you're doing or you're failing to do fail to live right bad things will
happen do what's right hey God will bless you I'm not saying it's gonna be
perfect because the Bible never says that he lives a perfect good Christian
life is not gonna suffer no those that live godly in Christ will suffer but
we're gonna suffer persecution and we're gonna get rewarded in this life in the
next but the second point is we will have his protection and we will have his
vengeance
