(Disclaimer: This transcript is auto-generated and may contain mistakes.) 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
