in dolan springs and i asked him my name said anderson that's got to correct that so do we met fred at the rescue event and dewey asked fred if he knew of a pastor that was available to lead a church that that he and tina were starting well fred said come back tomorrow because this pastor he knew would be preaching at the baptist church in dolan springs so doing teen went back on sunday but to everyone's surprise pastor roger was not preaching but let me ask you this if god has a plan can anything stop god's plan i don't think so so back to the story after church introductions were made fred teen and roger and uh so roger and ann and teen and dewey went out to lunch to talk about things roger and i'm very interested and decided to help dewey out after tying things up at the church they were involved in in las vegas and that's what i'm going to leave you for this week stay tuned thank you good morning everyone and good morning around the world that is so cool really yeah okay

turn off your cell phones or steve will come to see you and we announced last week that now we have a ladies bathroom in the church and it was my fault i forgot to say we're a vet so it's the first door when you come in the east door the first door on your left and it works and if you leave the door open when you leave the next person knows that nobody's in there so right but if you come in backwards it's on the right pastor only you would think of that well guess what that one's not for fred fred goes outside outside we ask that the gentleman please use the other bathroom outside and they own both of them thank you bread ministry is here today thank you fred kathy and mike if you can help out with some petro that would be great the red canisters over there and kathy said that what they're going to try to do is do every other week bread every other week food is that right okay because we really do appreciate them coming and bringing us this is a lot of work and we don't have to have it cowboy shirts there are burn houses back in the back and hopefully the birdies haven't made a nest in them so whatever the lord puts on your heart to put in there please do your pets are welcome in cowboy church all we ask is if they have an accident please clean it up right away yeah so that nobody steps in it and also with it getting warm out that's right with it getting warm out do not leave your pets in your vehicle because if you do and we find it your windows will be broken oh no oh yes well because most of the time the doors are locked and if you'd like to be baptized there is a clipboard in the back to sign up on and pastor will let us know when we're going to do baptism again also there's a clipboard back there for membership and he will also let you know what the membership class is next week next week okay forget what i said because purpose and direction has to help them it can be second study no because you will not be here to do the paper okay that's right okay my wife's going to leave okay so uh we will announce it later when when i return okay i didn't bother with anyone's thing we got a lot a lot of complaints in here and a lot of them are trivial i don't know i i think things like you know we started with an hour floor party outside and then we had toilets and now we got inside toilets and i still hear complaints every week about things in the department this is right our complaint department works at nine o'clock tuesday morning anytime you want to come in and put your complaint in you'll be very welcome to come at nine o'clock tuesday morning yeah this is fred over there he's had so many complaints about food that he didn't want to bring food anymore yeah that's pretty bad when you complain that much to people and if you know if you really had to eat this in your heart you'd be happy about the things they have the food that's happy in fred's brain they don't go to the fields to pick it up and bring it to us they get it from the food pantry who gets it from the grocery stores and it's the ones they don't want yeah cornerstone but the cornerstone gets it from other places it was picked it was picked fresh but not when fred got it right right so you know if you get an apple and it's got a worm in it or a bad spot give it to the animal don't don't complain to daddy and fred is yes it's like man said if something doesn't look like like you want it just don't take it you know just just don't take it don't complain they have a lot of brains in the water very discreet if you feel like you need to complain just pick up the Bible and read a little bit do we have any dual orders any dual orders now back to our regular program yeah of all ages these are our young rulers right here is i got a new lord way way oh is is is oh a dream on the wings of oh oh oh he's something on the wings of the snow on the wings when it was done oh on the wings of the snow oh oh okay on her shoulder i'll find a more away just but there's a fire softly burning and suffer on his throat the light in her eyes that keeps him warm and hey good to be back home again is well there's all the news to tell him is well is and hey good to be back home again is oh yes living with you it's the sweetest thing i know of just spending time with you it's a little thing that makes a house a home like a fire softly burning and suffer on the stove and the light in your eyes that keeps me warm is sometimes oh i said hey it's good to be back home again is coming home to carry me home is is please tell all of my friends i'm coming home but still my soul is yes is little wranglers little wranglers miss kathy and miss ginger him up to by the west side running to the scales little wrangler you know our goal in cowboy church is to learn how to get along with god um been half a lifetime ago and we started putting cowboy churches together across the country and we found that a lot of us was getting together and meeting because we barely spoke english there in east texas and and a lot of the stuff in in churches was in hebrew and greek from people like college professors almost you know they bs and then ms is more the same and then phds right piled higher and deeper and so we we tried tried to figure out a way to just make it simpler where we can understand it and how to get along with god because i know in my life i was so frustrated 30 years going to church everything and and it just seemed like man no matter what how hard i tried or how hard i wanted to do and everything i had no power overseen in my life it just was there and i was always sorry for it you know but i hated suckers in my life i hated thoughts in my mind stuff come out of my mouth but i had no power but i was trying to overcome everything by my willpower right fire and flesh and that's that's what um all of the uh oh psych psychology counseling and stuff is about is strengthening your self-will you know and accepting your weaknesses and working to overcome them by your own will and uh third time i went back to college i had to work on psychology and uh my my argument with their counseling programs that they were teaching was that man is a trinity created in the image of god and what what they were teaching dealt with man's physical body with addictions and stuff you know for more drugs to overcome addictions and stuff like that and also um brain riddles i call them for training your soul which is your mind your emotions and your will for your your flesh to whip your soul into shapes but they gave no um credence to the power of god to the spiritual aspect of man when god created man it says he gave man's spirit a spiritual quality why do we have to have spiritual quality because god is spirit and and it takes spirits to communicate have fellowship with have a relationship with to get along with a spiritual being god the father god the son god the holy spirit all spirit god is spirit and um so if you're leaving that out of the equation just like most secular counseling doesn't work um i don't do a whole lot of counseling i um because i'm not a very good pastor the uh the marriage counseling come in we sit down and we talk i say this is what god says they go do it and they come back next week i said did you do what we talked about last week you think what god said no i said well we're done that's marriage counseling you know in my office you ain't gonna do it god's way don't don't worry about it go out there and do whatever you're going to do and uh the uh god's plan is for us to have a relationship with him and in that relationship to maintain fellowship two different things two totally different things in in college in psychology they use those two words interchangeably relationship fellowship they don't distinguish it at all when when god gave man a spirit he created the trinity body soul and spirit man is a trinity also created in the image of god if we're going to get along with god first of all we have to establish a relationship with him and god says i'm going to be your father jesus explained that to nicodemus he said you must be born again you must be born again what's born of the flesh is flesh what's born of the spirit spirit nicodemus i'm going to enter into my mother's womb again he's not exactly what it works and what must we do to establish a relationship with god believe that god's who he says he is believe what he says and and accept his plan for us to have a relationship with him because it's on his terms he's god right i mean uh when we're running around the place we're always saying okay god if you want to hang out with me here's my terms right you know you accept me being drunk you accept me being gambling you accept me being uh whatever you know and uh and then we can be friends god god says you know he says you need to go back and reread that book well maybe you better read it in the first place because that book is the the manufacturer's warranty and service manual for this creation that god created that's what that book is and in that book is all the principles of how to get along with god how to establish a relationship with him how to have fellowship with him and how to be blessed how do we get along with god i boiled it down back in 75 to prayed up up well and that covered prayed up god i believe who you are i trust you i trust you to be what you say you are i believe your word that's about as far as it goes i i ain't able to do nothing else fessed up well yeah god i see in that book what it says and i definitely am a sinner and i see separates us in fellowship and relationship and god i ask you forgive me and i say that i can't match up on my own because i sin and i sin and i sin and there's no covering for my sin god says i gave my son as the ultimate sacrifice to cover all the sins of the world god says believe and trust that that's the plan that i provided for your forgiveness of sins say okay god i believe that i'm trusting what jesus did to pay the whole ticket for my sins that we might have a relationship and he says i'm putting my spirit the holy spirit will dwell in you from now through eternity to ensure that you have eternal life with me and never face the penalty for sin because it's paid for that's getting born again that establishes relationship and from that day on how you get along with god depends it is your fellowship with him where you mind him or not that's the way it is just like when you're born into your daddy's house he's your daddy and no matter how rotten you might get in your life can't take that dna away from you god's dna is the holy spirit he puts it in you when you're born again and when you're conceived in your mother's womb god put your daddy's dna in you your earthly father and ain't nothing can take that away old devil you're trying to change that he's jacking around with it right now all over the place so when god puts his holy spirit in you you're born again and uh uh he won't take his dna away from you i think you got a question is mother lord mother-in-law mother-in-law all right back we'll get into that back in the old testament god has chosen israel to be his wife all right and out of this world right now he is choosing a gentile bride for his son jesus that's us when you get when we marry the son his mother is our mother-in-law and he is born of israel which is god the father's wife even though they're divorced right now and god hates divorces i hate it but that woman israel see see mary that gave birth to jesus is representative of the whole nation of israel as god's wife and she conceived of god himself by the holy spirit the holy spirit's dna when when uh they they talk about being virgin marty says how can i be pregnant when i've never known a man god and then god's angel you will conceive of the holy spirit god there's god's dna right there and israel is god's wife god is jesus father because jesus is the son of god jesus is god in the flesh born of israel so that when we get there we got mother-in-law because we're jesus wife we're his bride so when you marry the son the son's mother is your mother-in-law that makes any sense so are we supposed to pray for her mother-in-law and i have the greatest mother-in-law in the world i did she was a wonderful lady good friend from the beginning from the beginning man we used to catch a lot of fish yes we still fish oh yeah we go fish yeah we catch fish so when when god establishes a relationship with us because we believe then we've got a whole new daddy we've got a spiritual father then and just like growing up if you didn't mind your earthly father you might get whooped right chastised you might be out of fellowship might send you to the room shut up i don't want to talk to you stay away from me till you get straightened out right that's fellowship put this he didn't come take his dna away from you because he couldn't and when god the father puts his dna in us it's for eternity now we can grieve the spirit grieve our father by being disobedient and when we're out of fellowship with god we don't have his power and authority it's like pop can i have keys to the truck tonight no we're out of fellowship right right yeah pop i need some gas for the truck no we're out of fellowship pop i was wrong i'm sorry and i tried to do what's right i want to do what's right god you gotta help me i'm sorry son you want to use the truck now need some gas see the difference isn't that how it worked at home like what it did for me you know that's how it worked in fellowship we're out of fellowship out of fellowship when you're out of fellowship with god you feel frustrated you feel no peace you feel no joy because there are a couple of the gifts of having the indwelling power of the holy spirit when you're in obedience with him all the fruit of the spirit is available to us when we're in fellowship with him when you're out of fellowship with him you're on your own in your flesh best way i've ever learned how to describe that is like in the army when you just first get in camp and uh you got a drill sergeant he's over you get up there in the morning you go out and you what he says he's a drill sergeant you're just but proud or less and you have no power or authority over the drill sergeant because he outranks you god's creation is all set up in levels of power and authority god the father and son the holy spirit and it seems like right under him the most powerful thing in the world was satan was created he was god's right hand man until he's messed up and he ain't never been sorry for it he says he was a liar and a murderer from the beginning so he's like well i won't talk about our administration today but on down the line you've got all you got generals and colonels and majors captains all you just keep going down you know lieutenants sergeants and uh you get down to corporals and privates and then below privates just recruit and that's where you are in the flesh in the hierarchy of god's creation and one of those things of powers and authorities in their wickedness and high places and powers and principalities is all created things that have power and authority in god's creation over man in the flesh but when you get down there paul says i find that there's a law of power and authority over me that i don't seem to have any control over he's talking about sin same as your drill sergeant he has power and authority over man in the flesh and when when you come to god and walk in the power of the spirit what paul calls it walking in the power of the spirit that means walking living daily prayed up fessed up well fed you have the power of the holy spirit in your life which is the power and authority of the commander-in-chief which has power and authority over every entity above you including the drill sergeant if you want to live a victorious life above temptations and sins and be victorious in you got to walk in the power of spirit paul calls it walking in the spirit now some places they talk about walking in the spirits like zack and people and healing them and doing you know stuff like that that's that's not what it is what it is is walking in obedience prayed up fessed up well fed well boy i tried but i still said fess up right now as soon as as soon as you mess up fess up if you want to walk in the fire of the spirit don't let it hang out there and die we find out um that that obedience is better than sacrifice back in uh in the book of samuel samuel told king saul go do such and such and everything but don't don't do nothing until i show up and king saul he was pretty much in the flesh in a lot of ways and everything and um he uh after he got this victory right he got it god's instructions was to kill all the animals and and all the enemy and everything and so well we some of these good animals you know they have good good gated mares in there we kept some of them right and uh um you know and and the people well the king a guy i kept him you know he saul says that to obey is better than sacrifice and from that time on saul was downhill in his kingdom and he ended up losing it because he didn't obey and do what god said and no place to ever see where he fessed up about it said i'm sorry about it but he just kept going in the flesh in um in colossians chapter one just give thanks unto the father which hath made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in life god has made us fit that sanctification he's crowding the junk out of our life so that we can walk closer with him in obedience in our daily life and uh uh for the inheritance of the saints the kingdom of god is our inheritance delivered us from the power of darkness by his powers the power of the holy spirit that delivers us from the power of the drill sergeant and he's translated us he's born we're born again as his heirs into the kingdom of his dear son that'd be jesus second corinthians 5 18 says and all things are of god who hath reconciled us to himself god did it god's the one that got your attention drew you to him and is working on your heart to get you to learn how to walk and get along with him he has reconciled us to himself by jesus christ and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation what's that mean the ministry of reconciliation is telling somebody else jesus saves and teach them how to get along with god that's the ministry of reconciliation god was in christ reconciling the world and to himself not imputing the trespasses unto him and he hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation god covered our sins and set us free from the power of that sin so that we can teach people how to get along with god and their job and and why would we be doing that because we're born into the kingdom of god and when we're born into the kingdom of god we get government jobs you're an ambassador to government job now then we are ambassadors for christ as though god did beseech you by us we pray you in christ that you be reconciled to god you know what an ambassador does an ambassador we've got ambassadors for about everything there is you know ambassadors for grass ambassadors for trees i don't know there's ambassadors for everything a lot of the ambassadors we got now have been an absolute humiliation to the reputation of the united states they've been caught dealing drugs they've been caught running whorehouses they've been caught dealing pornography ambassadors take advantage of the position in the working for the government to get away with stuff you know so they're not being good ambassadors that's not the path that we should follow as a christian as an ambassador for the kingdom of god we are his ambassadors our citizenship is in the kingdom of god when we're born into the kingdom of god that's our citizenship we're and god has hired us to work for the government as ambassadors we're ambassadors and god said that he made jesus to become sin for us and he didn't know when he sinned but he'd become our sin that that we be can have the righteousness of god in christ that we can be in fellowship that we can have the power and authority and the inheritance that god has for us that we don't have to be frustrated in our lives dealing with sins that we can't overcome in the flesh we walk and talk in the power of the spirit of god will overcome seeing god grabs the junk out of your life that's sanctification you can't do it in the flesh god does it vision 6 10 says finally my brethren be strong in the lord and in the power of his might put on the whole armor of god that you may be able to stand against the wives of the devil i wish their nation would do that folks we're on a downhill flight i think we're on agriculture talk about that but we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against the principalities his powers see he's listing different spiritual authorities and and their ranking he says we're not struggling just against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places you put your finger on some of that and wherefore take unto you the whole armor of god that ye may be able to withstand the evil day and having done all stand stand for the righteousness of god be that ambassador no matter what stands therefore having your arms dirt about you with truth and having the breastplate of righteousness and your feet child with preparation of the gospel of peace you get all that stuff out of the book so i ain't got to be well fed swords that's in the book above all taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked take the helm of salvation toward of the spirit which is the word of god praying always and with all prayer and supplication in the spirit watching their undo with all perseverance and supplication for all things pray for each other i got a word this morning that larry and donna daughter-in-law passed yesterday or day before yesterday or this morning i will pray for them lift them up this morning their daughter-in-law's passing perseverance and supplication for all things and for me the utterance may be given unto me that i may open my mouth boldly make known the mystery of the gospel we pray for each other that in our capacity as ambassadors we're able to proclaim the gospel as a witness to the world around us paul says pray for me that i can explain the mystery of the gospel he says for which i am an ambassador he says but i'm locked up i'm in bond i'm in jail but i'm still an ambassador and that there and i may speak boldly as i ought to speak and joshua chapter 9 says and when the inhabitants of gibbon heard that joshua had done unto jericho you see gibbon was was real close to george not too far right along the jordan river not too far away from where jericho was and they didn't have telegraph back there but they had tell everybody else and they talked about things and word got around to them and they said man we need to send an ambassador down there to joshua that we might get along now this is sometimes how these jacks these these ambassadors work says they did work wildly they were tricky and they went and they made as if it had been ambassador and they took old sacks upon their donkeys and wine bottles old wine bottles and uh they just covered themselves up and dust and jumped like they'd been been on the road for a long time from a long ways and they wore wore out shoes and stuff and drove dry moldy bread with them you know said that's all they had been on the road so long after they had and they went to joshua and they told joshua said we want to be we don't want you to come kick our butt we want to be friends we want to get along and god told joshua well you know you got to go in canyon land in there and kill everybody kick them out and uh but they said well you know these ambassadors come and and the men of israel said to the hillites um if you dwell among us and how should we make a league with you and they said unto joshua we are thy servants and joshua said unto them who are you and where'd you come from well they said we come from a long way so we got moldy bread to brew with i think a lot of our ambassadors today is hauling around some moldy bread anyway they had mercy on them and they said okay we're not gonna kick your butt and you can just you can chop her firewood and clean out the stables and uh just be our servants and they said well that's better than getting our butts kicked so they that's what they did and they was painting the butt ever since then because they didn't do what god told them to do you know they got tricked probably didn't pray about it luke 14 says oh what or what king going to make war against another king said it's not down first figure out whether he'll be able to win in the battle and uh and he said that maybe we ought to send send an ambassador over to see if we can keep from having a fight i understood that night pearl harbor was bought was bombed we had japanese ambassadors talking to the president trying to figure out a way don't know we want peace we don't want you know well they had moldy bread and uh said they desired conditions of peace while they was bombing us and then they cut tail and left um jesus talked about him he told him he said look he said this is this is what you got going on here is like this he said there was a rich man in ball place and and uh he called 10 servants and he delivered them such and such but the but the citizens hated him and they sent a message which is an ambassador after him saying we will not have this man to reign over us we don't we're not going to do what this this guy that you hired to be boss we ain't gonna do what he says those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves that's what it means to establish a relationship with god we live for god we accept him the holy spirit the lord jesus god's words that he puts over us to rule us it's his rule that guides us and directs us not flesh not the world not even facebook and uh in second corinthians verse 5 it says if it seems we are crazy paul's talking to his church he says it sounds crazy he said but we are trying to teach you how to get along with god so you bring glory to god and if we're in our right minds it's for either way christ's love controls us since we believe that christ died for all we also believe that we have all died to our old life there's a problem you just don't die to the old life if you're not walking in the spirit of god you say the old life churches surround the gossip the lying the cheating the whatever you know we just stay keep doing that stuff and not having to cram it out of our lives we're still the old man in the place walking and controlling either way christ's love controls us since we believe that christ died for all we also believe that we have all died to our old life he died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves instead they will live for christ who died and was raised for them an ambassador being ambassador for the king kingdom of the lord jesus christ so we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view oh whoa have we at one time we thought of christ merely from a human point of view how differently we know him now colossians 2 2 2 corinthians 5 17 this means that anyone who belongs to christ has become a new person the old life is gone a new life has begun and that was so frustrating because for a long time in my life it wasn't i hated it i hated the conflict in my own life because i knew what i was supposed to be i just couldn't cut it in the flesh and yet i had to have it going to my earthly father and i was wrong i'm sorry i'll get it done and re-establish fellowship you know i mean the pattern was right there before me but i never learned nobody taught me how to apply that to my relationship and fellowship with god the father it's the same deal it's the same deal you see how important it is to have good families and what is the devil destroyed in the world families because that's the foundation of god's teaching us how to get along with him family same thing the old life is gone and new life has begun all of this is a gift from god who brought us back to himself through christ and god has given us this task of reconciling people him telling others how to get along with god our job we're ambassadors for god was in christ reconciling the world to himself no longer counting people's sins against them and he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation he forgave us and he told us he's forgiven us and so we are christ's ambassadors god is making his appeal through us to a lost and dying world don't seem like we've been done very good we speak for christ when we plead come back to god for god made christ who never sins to be the offering for our sins so that we could be made right with god through christ our job as ambassadors is to explain the gospel so people can learn how to get along with god the gospel is how do you get along how what must i do to be saved how do i get along with god believe in the lord jesus christ and i shall be saved romans 10 9 says that thou shalt confess with thy mouth the lord jesus and shall believe in thine heart that god graced him from the dead i shall be saved okay i got saved i established relationship i believe but i turn around and mess up first john chapter two verse one my little children these things i write unto you that you sin not it's best that you don't sin all right i got that how you do it well and if a man sins we've got an advocate with the father jesus christ the righteous advocates your lawyer and he is the propitiation he's our covering for our sin he covers it up so that when we sin and seek god's forgiveness for our sin the penalty of that sin is eternally forgiving you don't have to go to hell for it you might not be getting along with your father and you don't have the power and the blessings of the holy spirit in fellowship in your life and and he's covering for our sins not only for ours but also he died for the sins of the whole world there's nobody you can talk to they cannot receive the salvation they need to they have the ability to you know the devil himself i believe could be saved if he would turn to god because god forgives sin you never do it it's not his nature well last sunday of the month is the lord's supper sunday i guess we've got a crew put together now in cowboy church we have what we call open communion all baptized believers in the lord jesus christ are welcome participate in the lord's supper we give these instructions be sure you're not messing up paul gives these instructions in first corinthians chapter 11 starting verse 23 says i received of the lord that which also i delivered unto you that the lord jesus the same night in which he was betrayed he took bread and when he's given thanks he break it he said take eat this is my body which is broken for you do it in remembrance of me after the same manner also he took the cup and when he's up said this cup is the new testament in my blood this do as often as you drank it in remembrance of me as often as you drank this cup eat this bread you show the lord's death shall he come wherefore and whenever you see wherefore in the bible it's there for a reason you need to read it back up and read it again it's wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread a drink of this cup unworthily shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the lord jesus christ is your fault but let a man examine himself let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup that means a believer take time bows his head he checks and see that spiritually he's got clean hands and a clean heart by being fessed up come to the table of the lord jesus to remember the broken body and the shed blood eat and drink of that cup for he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drank damnation to himself i didn't write it it's in the book not the lord's body what's the penalty for doing that for faking it for this cause many are weak saying it just keeps running over you because you're out of fellowship and sick yep sickness disease accidents bondage on you yeah it's part of the stick god's whooping us not fessing up not being in fellowship for this cause many are weak and sick among you many sleep there is a sin under the new testament they talk about it saying under there saying under death is like when you got that kid that just won't ever straighten up you just want to kill him so it quits embarrassing you well you probably don't as his mom and dad but there comes a time when dot when god turns christian's flesh over to the devil for the destruction he gave us an example of a church in corinth there's a boy running his stepmama paul told us if you throw that sucker out of church he takes the whole crown can't have that in there don't don't let him get away with it throw him out for the destruction of his flesh though his soul shall be saved see devil wants you to be out of fellowship with john the father but god the father wants you to be in fellowship with him because you have his fire strength over the devil all right for this cause many are weak and sick among you and many sleep if we judge ourselves if we pass us we won't be judged by god but when we are judged we're chastened of the lord that we should not be condemned of this world jeremy father we just come to you lord father we're just we're human we're stuck in these that you come get us as we live in a sinful world stuck in these tents of flesh there's temptation around us devil's always around us temptations of this flesh sinful place father and the draw of the world father we just ask that you
