[Music]

change we started this some weeks back

we talked about God’s

ways versus man’s ways and we have to

know this

because we keep trying

to bring God down on our

level and he ain’t

coming he came down on our level when he

bought

Jesus yeah who was touched with the

feelings of our

infirmities but not so we can stay at

that

level but to come up to where we need to

be and so I I need you to listen

man I need you to listen let me start

off with

this it’s one of the things God

instructed me to begin to do everywhere

I

go

life once you get born

again you get on a

journey life is a journey life that

spiritual life your saved life is a

journey I I may have mentioned this to

you before but it’s like if you take a

road trip from Atlant Atlanta to

La it’s on a you’re on a journey okay

and there will be different things that

may come up on that

Journey you might be on your way to LA

and take a wrong turn and you’re you’re

you’re you’re off the path and it may

take some time to get back on the path

you may be on your way to LA from

Atlanta and you’re going to have to have

a pit stop you might have to stop and

get some gas or retire there there are a

lot lot of things that could happen on

the way to the

journey but nobody is there to condemn

you to hell just because you took a

wrong turn just because you had a flat

tire just because it was necessary for

you to get a

refill nobody’s going to condemn you to

hell and yet as Christian people we

don’t understand that this life is a

journey and on this journey you’re going

to fall you’re going to say the wrong

things you’re going to make the but but

that doesn’t mean condemn them because

the journey

continues and you know what’s great

about the journey is Jesus is going on

the road trip with

you not to beat you up but to say to you

okay I got you let’s get back on the

journey here okay no problem you need a

refill I’ll go ahead and fill you up

again you need a you need a uh you need

your wheels aligned I’ll line you up

you’re out of balance I’ll give you a

balance there’s nothing wrong with all

of any all all the stuff that happens in

our lives on this journey it’s like God

says that’s that that’s the stuff that’s

to be expected on the journey why do we

get on this journey and don’t expect for

anything to show up on the

journey so it’s all right amen you don’t

spend two years in condemnation because

you had to fill

up you don’t spend 10 years in

shame because you you had a flat tire

Tire you’re going to get fat tires on

Journeys but it’s okay because Jesus is

your road

dog no no no

you the dog part God just an

illustration you know forgive me

Jesus we got to start thinking like that

so what happens sometimes is in real

life you mess

up it took you probably 30 minutes to

mess that up and you spend 10 years

being condemned by

it he says stop doing that you’re on a

journey we still got a ways to go nobody

has time for you to sit at the rest

station for a

week nobody has time for you to sit

there pit yourself for another

week you had the flat tire change the

tire and get back on the

road you might be tired take a nap get

back on the road that’s how life is so

shake off all the things you’ve

encountered and thank God that today you

are still on this

journey you’re still on this journey so

stop beating yourself

up stop stop beating yourself up and

stop beating one another

up that’s how God’s looking at it you’re

on a journey your kid first start

walking your kids’s going to fall that’s

what happens on the Journey of learning

how to

walk when he falls you don’t beat his

brains out and speak all kinds of crazy

stuff to him you ain’t no good you fail

now don’t fall no more if you fall him

Nobody Does that everybody understands

this is for a

time you wear a pamper for a

time how many you know there’s a problem

if you’re still wearing a pamper and

you’re

21 you’re on a

journey

now

God has a way of doing

things and human mankind natural man has

a way of doing things and we need need

to see the

difference cuz too many times we’re

coming up with ways of saying God just

like this

no look what he says here Romans 55:

8-9 Isaiah thank

you you can tell I’m

excited for my thoughts are not your

thoughts

neither are your

ways my

ways sayth the

Lord for as the heavens are higher than

the earth Heaven’s ways are higher than

the earth God’s ways are higher than

your ways he says so are my ways higher

than your ways and my thoughts are

higher than your

thoughts and there is no instance in

that’s that this is more true

than in the connection with promptings

to proper conduct there’s no instance

where this is more true than in

connection uh to proper conduct so we

look at your

conduct and you look at how you have

chosen to conduct conduct and carry

yourself and God is

saying my ways are higher than your ways

where this is concerned because under

grace God does everything apart from

Human Merit when I use the word merit

I’m it it’s it really means being good

to deserve a reward so so God does under

grace everything apart from uh

influencing you to uh to to to to do

something in order to deserve uh a

reward and so under grace he does

everything apart from

that he’s not doing doing anything under

grace uh he does everything apart

from any thought of

repayment so God under

grace is not trying to do

something because you’ve been good so

you deserve a

reward we may not do that I’m going to

be good so I can deserve a reward God is

so far from

that God is is so far from the thought

of repayment you know you are you’ve

been good so he’s going to do something

good to you to pay you for being

good that has that is not his way that

is never been his

way but us humans have kind of made it

like

that and his way is much higher than

that

he cannot offer his

Blessing as an inducement or influencing

someone to do something he can’t offer

his Blessing he can’t say I’m going to

bless you if you do

this he he he he he’s not saying he

can’t say I’m going to bless you if

you’re

good he cannot say I’m going to bless

you if your behavior your lines up right

then I’ll am bless you God God can’t do

that His blessings he cannot offer his

Blessing as an inducement nor can he

offer his judgment as a threat to

encourage Godly

living so he wants you to you he wants

you to live

Godly but he can’t use the blessing to

get you to live

Godly and he can’t use judgment to

threaten you to live

Godly amen he can’t do it and I am

telling you all my

life I’m thinking that’s how it

worked I go to church this Sunday God

going to repay

me by letting me get a raise how many

y’all thought that raise your hands or

or come up here let me cast that line

devil out

you and I guess that’s why it’s taking

me so long to preach is because this

goes against

everything that we heard about God now

it is true that what I just

said it’s true for

humans if you do

good I’m going to do something to reward

you I if you do good then I’m going to

repay you for doing good that’s that’s

our

way but what’s going to happen now I’m

going to judge you if you don’t do

good didn’t we do that with our kids if

you if you if you if if you act if you

act right in school I’m going to do you

good but I’m going to threaten you if

you don’t act right in

school that’s our

way and somehow we have made our

way God’s

way and that ain’t God’s

way woo Jesus everybody on still on the

bus with me now we you’re still on the

bus with me you’re still on the bus with

me all

right therefore under

Grace under grace God first reminds us

of what he has done in

Grace and then on the basis of

that he he he appeals for a life of of

godliness with that in mind in other

words God

God has this work of

Grace he reminds of of his grace and he

reminds us of his

mercy and then he makes an appeal for us

to live

Godly but not without us understanding

his work of

Grace let let me show you the the phrase

that God gave me to to to pull all this

together it may help you I wrote it down

I was so excited about it I signed my

name just in case I leave it back and

hundreds of years later so nobody else

w’t have to struggle with what I’m

getting ready to to preach and it’s no

longer struggle but here’s what he said

God will not make an appeal when I when

I use the word appeal he want appeal to

you to to say all right you need to live

Godly or or or all right you need to

present your body uh as a Living

Sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God

all right you need to treat everybody

that that’s what I refer to as an

appeal so I I’m going to use the word

appeal this morning the appeals that God

make he appeals to you to live holy

appeals to you to do right appeals to

you to do that but but he he never

appeals to you here’s what he says God

will not make an appeal without first

providing mercy and Grace for our

failures oh boy so so what what he what

he means there is I’m not asking you to

live right until I first of all have a

work of mercy and Grace for when you

don’t live right that

day so now all of a sudden you’re not

too afraid to accept that

appeal because the threat of me not

being able to do it has been taken away

because he said before I ask you to live

Godly notice my mercy and Grace is at

every beginning of every appeal that I

have asked

you so I went and checked that out I

said oh yeah and I started seeing it I

saw how we skip we skipped the mercy and

Grace part and went straight to the

appeal live Godly but God says no no no

I won’t ever request for you to do

anything without first of all

recognizing my work of Grace in being

able to ask you to live this way so

don’t be afraid that you can’t live this

way because I’ve already worked this

thing out for your bad days

[Applause]

amen

yes praise God now thank you Lord yeah I

know I know I got my hand I got my

handkerchief here a ain’t time we going

to cry in a minute baby I got I got one

for

you now watch this now but man’s ways

are not God’s

ways in general man clings to the idea

that benefits always come because of

Good Conduct and man’s way are that

losses come because of bad

conduct so man’s ways are all right

these good things showed up because we

did something

good uh this bad thing showed up cuz we

did something bad that’s man’s

way losses and rewards based on our

conduct with no consideration of the

grace and mercy that has been put in

this

place natural man always feels that he

must contribute something to earn God’s

favor that’s what church has been like

for some of you for the last 10 20 30

years natural

man natural man saying and based on

church and based on pull pit and based

on sermons natural man says I’ve got to

contribute something in order to get

God’s

favor and if I don’t contribute

something I can’t get God’s favor

in in the pull pits of the world this is

what you have to contribute to get God’s

favor but you have to understand you did

not contribute anything at the beginning

of God’s favor God’s favor was God’s

idea not mine not

yours

[Applause]

Hallelujah think about this think about

always thinking I’ve got to contribute

something I got to think it it’s it’s it

so contradicts everything if you have to

contribute something to get God’s favor

it’s not

favor how is it favor if you had

something to do with getting

it it’s

not I I contributed

nothing

to get born again except I

believed I believed his

way A lot of gifts that you’re walking

in now you keep trying to find where

your contribution made this happen

that’s right that is not God’s way

amen it’s man’s

way God’s method under grace is seen in

Jesus dealing with that woman taken in

adultery let’s look at that John

8:

3-1 and the scribes and Pharisees

brought unto him a

woman

taken in

adultery I mean in the very Act of

adultery they bought the woman sheets

and

all ain’t no we think sheet in

adultery and when they had set her in

the

midst they say unto him Jesus

Master this woman was taken in adultery

in the very

act now cuz they trying to they’re

trying to trick Jesus because Jesus is

supposed to be there fulfilling the

law and according to the law

this should be This Woman’s last day now

Moses in the law commanded us that such

should be

stoned but what do you

say they’re trying to trip Jesus up

watch him this is why he my

king this they said tempting him that

they might have to accuse

him but Jesus stooped down

and with his finger wrote on the

ground as though he heard them not he

was igging them you understand what I’m

saying I ain’t got time for this Tom

Foolery so when they continued asking

him he lifted up himself and said unto

them okay and I like this cuz he can’t

go against the law because he had come

to deliver people from the law and he

couldn’t deliver them from the law

unless he operated and fulfill all the

law so what do you

say so he didn’t say don’t Stone

her here’s what he

said he lifted up himself and said unto

him he that is without sin among

you let him first cast a stone at

her and he again stooped down and rode

on the

ground somebody said do you know what he

was writing no I don’t know what he was

writing and you don’t either so get

don’t get up and get a preach don’t get

up preach a sermon talking about what

Jesus was writing you know the day that

he would return now you don’t know he

was he might have been

doodling cuz that’s what you do when

people talking T Foolery you just

like he says all right fine I’m not

telling you not to Stone her here’s all

I’m saying anybody any any one of you

who don’t have sin in your life go ahead

and the Bible says the older people left

first because they knew they had a whole

bunch going

on the older people just got on out of

there like man let me let me

goone the younger people thought they

had hope but they eventually left

too and they which had heard it being

convicted by their own conscience they

went out one by one beginning at the

eldest even until the

last and Jesus left her alone

and the woman standing in his

midst when Jesus had left lifted up

himself and saw none but the

woman he said unto her

woman where are those thine

accusers had no man condemned

thee she

said no man

Lord Jesus said unto her watch this

neither do I condemn thee this sin of

adultery will not condemn

you what you did

deserved death and condemnation you

should have been condemned to death

because you broke the law and the law

said you should be condemned to

death but in a sense he said but Mercy

has come before you

today Jesus full of grace and

truth and I forgive

you now take this mercy and this

grace that you’ve received

today and go and sin no more because

Grace has come unto

you now it’s

possible for her to actually

walk without sinting and doing this

again because before there was no mercy

and Grace there was just the threat of

death and people telling you you’re

going to hell for this and you’re going

to hell for that but now I see Mercy I

see grace I see

Jesus I see that I can and do what I

didn’t think I was able to do before

because his way showed up and he

red what was supposed to happen under

the

law

huh and that same thing going on

today we still trying to send folks to

hell when we catch them and

stuff do you know who God really is in
