amen glory
today
the
as i stated to you last night the
thing that the lord has
instructed
that the purpose of these meetings
is to look
into and
be determined to do
the works of jesus
doing the works of jesus
amen
now
in uh
looking at this
today
we’re going to be talking about
increase
and of course when you when you think
about
increase the the first thing you think
about of course is in any in the uh
economics and
and finances and so forth
there’s a whole lot more to it than that
but that is a vital part of it
well you know
christian people ought to not care
anything about money well when when the
devil talks you into caring nothing
about money he’ll make you so broke you
can’t pay attention
amen he’ll steal it from you that’s all
the power he’s got is what he can get
from you
jesus stripped him
he has nothing
talk about this a minute
um
you remember when satan tempted jesus
and the scripture said he was
sorely tempted but deeply deeply tempted
now i want you to listen to what satan
said to him
he said
the scripture said he showed him the
kingdoms
of this world
and he said bow down before me
and i will give them to you
they
are mine they have been given unto me
and i give them to whomsoever i will
now
if that had not been the truth
it would not have been a temptation
because jesus i mean satan is a liar
yeah we know that
but had he not had that authority to do
that jesus would have certainly known it
it wouldn’t be any temptation too i mean
that’s like me coming up to you
and offering you the entire state of
texas you just laugh and turn around and
walk off because you know i ain’t got
the authority to do that i don’t own the
entire state of texas
amen
now
after jesus
went to the cross
this is the mindset that believers
should have and think this way 24 7.
when jesus
went to the cross
and then went into hell
and paid the
awesome
terrible
penalty
for adam’s sin
he took his place he took our place
there was a guy that really i mean he he
came to the service that night to get on
me
i’m not talking about talking he came
there to get on me he was
and um
because some of his uh some of his
church members went to him and told him
brother copeland said jesus went to hell
what made him mad
well i didn’t say it the bible said it
but anyway
and so he came there i mean he was he
and he he’s big enough to do it too how
do you know he’s a big fella and the
church we were in that night was just
about the size of this center section
here
and i when he came through the door i
was standing on the platform which
wasn’t about that high
and i was standing there and i knew it
when he came through the door
it just it rose up in the let the lord
let me know what he’s coming for
and so i just looked at him i said well
lord there he comes
