Sunday Night
Sunday Night - July 21, 2024
[ Pause ] Good evening to you folks here in the chapel. This is our regular Sunday night service here. First Baptist Church of Algiers. And this is Pastor Albert Pandora. Inviting you folks to stay tuned now. We're going to have a couple of our choir songs. And then bring the mail's going to come and bring the message. But I just wanted to say hello to you. I'd like to hear from you folks out there. We're here every Sunday morning at 10 o'clock for a Bible school Bible with Brother Freddie. And then normally Brother Glenn's here is in Hattiesburg tonight. And we'll show you how to pray for him. Make sure to pray for him on his way home. And then you folks there in San Benito, we're happy to have you. I hope all is well with you. I'd like to hear from you. I tell the folks who call me every now and then. They said, "Well, they told me not to call you. My other guy said, "Well, call me. Don't break your arm to call me." So I've been getting a few calls. I thank you. Even local. Local people call me. So I praise the Lord. When you've been having cabin fever for a while, you won't talk to people. But I'm here at the office every morning. So Brother Glenn and Brother Freddie and I get here about 7 o'clock. And this is an old trailblazer. And sometimes eat a biscuit or a pop tart or something like that. And then just have prayer and just meditate and fellowship for a few minutes every morning. Get started on the right foot. That's what I like to do. And I praise the Lord for you if you're able to do that. But I would like to hear from you folks. Let me know where you listen. Maybe you've never written. Maybe you've never called. Maybe you send money here and never say a word. Write me a little note and put it in there. And I appreciate it. I appreciate it. But you stay tuned now. We're going to have us number 281 in our red song. But before we do, I thought of we thank you for the day that you've given us, for the early morning broadcast, on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and then Brother Freddie and Brother Glenn bringing God's message. As we have for over 80 years, the Lord has been gracious unto us. And we don't see no end to it because the Lord said He'd be with us. Certainly I'll be with you. Exodus 312, if you folks want to promise, go there to Exodus 312. Certainly I'll be with you. Thank you, Lord. And you listen now as we bring you this song in this message in song, still sweeter every day. Verses one, two, and three. That's number 281 in our red book. Go ahead, brother. [MUSIC PLAYING] Jesus, every day after my heart is close and drawn. He's scared within the glory of the golden pearl of dawn. He's all my fancy niches in his fairy streams and more. He'd stay grossed to sweeter than he was a day before. The heavens enough, each eye will see. We'll sound the love we're waiting to know. Each eye will go with you. Oh, there it is, with this desire. Just with that, we ever was before. He stole me from the morning when I saw him from afar. He's scared within the lily brighter than the morning star. He fails and said it's wise the longest theory or in all. Each day he grows to sweeter than he was a day before. The heavens enough, each eye will see. He'll sound the love we're waiting to know. This shadow will go with shore. Oh, there it is, with this desire. Three grand, we ever was before. My heart is sometimes terrible and he comes with sweet relief. He falls me to the face of his bosom when I drum. I love the present body free. I love the price to hold my burden taking his body poor. He's staying grossed to sweeter than he was a day before. The heavens enough, each eye will see. The heavens enough, each eye will see. Oh, there it is, with this desire. It must be black when he ever was before. Hey, man, thank you. Ain't that a gracious song? I want to remind you, maybe many of you have never heard, maybe you missed the service. But we have the radio missions radio now, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. With radio missions, it's music and recorded messages. And the schedule for the messages we have on the office, I'll be glad to send you a copy of it. But it's about every two hours, starting early in the morning, maybe before you get up and after you go to bed. I listened to it before I get up sometime. I listened to it when I go after I go to bed sometime. But it's about every two hours. We have a trailblazer there. We have voice of truth there. We have selected messages there by Pastor Shelton, Pastor others, myself, Brother Glenn, Brother Freddie. Different ones. And so if you would, if you'd like to have a copy that schedule, write me, you'll call me. My mailing address is radio missions, post office box, 1810 Walker, Louisiana, 70785. And then also, we'd like to mention you can help us with a broadcast, if you will. The Lord is supplying the needs. We'd never have to get on here and beg for money like some of the preacher do, do we don't do that? But the Lord has been gracious to us all of these here, many, many years. So you do that, if you would. And now let's turn to number 266 in our red book and saying I walk with a king versus one, two, and three, and then Brother Mael is going to come bring the message. [MUSIC PLAYING] In sorrow, I wonder my spirit oppressed. But now I am happy, gently I rest. But more until evening, let carols I sing. And this is the reason I won't live the king.

Hallelujah, I won't live the king. The first message that I brought was here. It was entitled "To the Unknown God." And it was where Paul the Apostle was on Mars Hill in Ephesus. And he's seen all the folks out there worshiping all different kinds of idols. And he come across this one lettering on it. It was called "To the Unknown God." And he said, "I've seen this idol with the caption on it, to the Unknown God whom he currently serve and him I declare unto you." And we spoke about the Blessed Lord. And then in Jackson last week, we talked about Christ in you the hope of glory. And tonight's message, the Lord is laid upon my heart, is Paul's battle in Romans 7. So we begin with this thought in mind, and that is how many worship of false God. How many worship of God they have no knowledge of the true and living God. And this, I told you, is prevalent, it's widespread, and it's not something that is just here and there, it's everywhere. Multitudes fill up church pews and different religions with the thought in mind that when they die, they're going to pass into eternity heaven and know not that they're headed for a devil's hell. In Matthew 7, the Lord says, "Many will say unto me, Lord, Lord, and she'll..." As we look at this verse, we see the people that are justifying themselves in what their religion is leading them to do, and it tells us how deceived a person can be to worship and unknown God and to think that he's doing God a favor, as it were. There are those that have come to the throne of grace without a sacrifice who will end up at the day of judgment with no righteous covering. This is a fearful thought to me, and it's one that I can only plead that Lord remember our folks, remember them, give us grace, Lord, to continue in prayer for our loved ones. What are we doing if we're not calling upon the Lord? Time is wasting, and time is the unrenewable resource. Once it's gone, it's gone, time slips by, and before you know it, those plans and things that you had laid out that you would do in this life have passed by, and here you are. You find yourself depending on Christianity, depending on keeping the law, depending on being a church member in word only, but the Bible tells us in James 1.22, "But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only deceiving your own selves," and that's what we're called to do, be not hearers of the word, but doers of it. This is what James tells us. And the Lord goes on and he said, "Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name,' and in thy name done many cast out devils, and in thy name done many wonderful works.'" You think of those that have built tremendous ministries in name only. Think of those that have filled up Colosseums with people making a profession of faith saved today and lost tomorrow, and the Lord says, "And have cast out devils and done many wonderful works," and the Lord says, "I will profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from me, that work iniquity." What came to me when I was reading that portion of Scripture is all they did was serving an unknown God in Matthew 7, 21 to 24. That's all they did. They were serving an unknown God because the Lord says, "I never knew you. I never had that intimate relationship with you. You were going about doing your religious things, but they were apart from me. I never knew you." And there's something to bear thought, "How about you tonight? Are you serving an unknown God or are you serving Christ and Christ alone?" And that's what we came to in the next portion in Colossians chapter 1. It says, "Even the mystery," see, "even the mystery which have been hid from ages and from generations, but now has made manifest unto his saints." The Lord Jesus Christ, he says this in the 11th chapter of Matthew, he said, "O Father, I thank the O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou has hid these things from the wise and the prudent and has revealed them unto babes." Babes. And that's the way you come to the Lord for salvation. A babe knows nothing, can do nothing, is unable to care for itself, and it clings to the mother, it clings to its parents, and that's what we do with Christ when we're coming to Christ. We have nothing. We have no ability. We may be prudent and smart in the things of the world, but spiritual dummies in the things of the Spirit of the living God, and this is what Paul was saying to the Colossians. He said this mystery which had been hid from ages and from generations, but now has made manifest unto his saints, and he says, "To whom God," and this is in the hands of a sovereign God to reveal Christ to any soul, it's a sovereign work of grace, and he said, "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery amongst the Gentiles." And what is this mystery? What is it that Paul says it was revealed, it was hidden from the eyes of the wise and the prudent and revealed on the bathes, and that is Christ in you, the hope of glory. My salvation doesn't rest on what I can do. My salvation doesn't rest on what I know and what I can do in my own strength. It rests wholly and completely upon one thing, Christ in me. My hope of glory is all I have, and it's all I want, and it's all I can do. And so we went on and we take this portion of Scripture leading into the seventh chapter of Romans where Paul says, "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, nothing more, nothing less." As I told you last time I was here, it wasn't for putting up big cathedrals and stained glass windows and idols in the church, but it's one thing. It's what Zacchaeus found out when he crawled up that sycamore tree, and the Lord combines this, "Come down, today I must abide at thy house, and one day he stopped by Moss Point, Mississippi, and he says, "Follow me, and I will make you a child of the king." Thank the Lord for His mercy and His grace. 1 Corinthians 2, 14 says, "But the natural man, the natural man, receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, but they are, but they are spiritually disarmed. And that's what Paul is telling us here in Galatians 2.20. He says, "I am crucified with Christ. This is what took place in my life." He says, "I was once a natural man, the natural man, receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for this foolishness unto them, neither can he know them, for they are spiritually disarmed." And the apostle Paul, he was a Pharisee, and he was knocked down to the ground, and when he lifted up his head, all he saw was Christ. His eyes were open, and he saw that all his religion was nothing but shucks and sticks and huss, nothing more. He saw that all the prayers he made, he had never prayed unto the Lord Jesus Christ, and had he went out into eternity to the day of judgment, Paul would have stood before the Lord, and the Lord would have said to him, "All the works that you done, all the things that you accomplished, I never knew you, I never knew you saw. But it was not God's plan, and the Lord did a work of grace, and knocked him down from his high pedestal, and made him a worm of the dust in his own sight. Can you imagine, as we speak here, can you imagine the thoughts that went through his mind, all the books that he had learned from, all the teachers of the law that he had sat under, all the things that he had done, thinking he was doing God's service and persecuting the church. All that ran through his head, and three days he sat there, a lost sinner. And if you ever hope to be saved, you will come the same way as a lost, doomed and damned his sinner, deserving nothing but damnation. That's how the Lord brought this worm, brought me down to the end of my way. And here Paul says, "Now this is what I am. I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me." You hear that? Christ, it's Christ living in me. All through the scriptures of the New Testament, you read the Gospels, read the letters, read them over and over and see how many times salvation is spoken of as being in Christ or Christ in me, me in Christ, Christ in me. That is salvation. That is all that the world cannot find out. How is it possible? Is that possible? And that is what God does. I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. In the life that I now live, in the life that I now live in the flesh, I live by the fate of the Son of God, not Paul's faith, and it isn't going to be your faith. It wasn't my faith. I couldn't. I racked my brain trying to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. I would come to service, hoping to be saved, hoping coming and sitting down and listening to the gospel and leave just as lost as when I came in. Could not, but the Lord had a purpose to teach His center that salvation is of the Lord. But not what you can muster up, not any righteousness you can bring. That's what they were doing over there in Matthew 7, 21 to 24. They were trying to bring the righteousness on to God. Just think of Isaiah 64, 6, where it says, "All are on clean, and all are righteousnesses are as filthy rags." That's all we can bring to God in the natural. That's all we can bring is defiled righteousness defiled with sin. Let me tell you, these that are trying to work their way to heaven with the works of religion and all these things. Think of all the preachers and the Billy Grahams and the woman that laid down her life over there in India, if she didn't know Christ, all those works. May keep every law, every jot, every tittle, you may keep everything, every bit of it. Right, boom, boom, boom, right down the line. Keep the law, keep the law. And James says, "Whosoever keepeth all the law, and yet offend in one point, one point, one tittle, one point, he's guilty of all." You imagine trying to work your way to heaven and have someone tell you, "You've got to keep it all, or none of it will save you." It is Christ that Paul found it was Christ. It was the faith of the Son of God. He says, "He loved me, and he gave himself for me." A wicked, undone sinner, he says. This is a faithful saying, worthy of all acceptation, Christ Jesus, Paul says, "Christ Jesus, come into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief, chief rebel, chief of sinners." And so now we start with the Book of Romans. There's a battle going on. There's a battle going on in the apostles' mind and heart and mind. The Lord has saved him. The Lord has given him grace. The Lord died for the apostle Paul and revealed to his heart that when Christ poured out his life on Calvary's cross, Paul died with him, and Paul was raised together with him, raised together over there in the 2nd chapter of Ephesians. It speaks in the 7th verse. It speaks about being raised up in the ages to come. We have been raised with Christ. So we begin here in the 7th chapter of Romans, for I know it's not guessing, I know that in me that is in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing, plain and simple. I know that in me that is in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing, for the will is present with me. But how to perform that, which is good, I find not. Now follow me with these thoughts, that was the 17th verse, for the good that I would, the good, the good that I want to do in serving the Lord, I had been washed in the blood. The Lord had revealed himself onto me as my hope of glory, my only hope. And it was shortly after the Lord saved me, and I was calling on the Lord praying, and I said, Lord, I just want to serve you. I don't ever want to break your law again, I just want to serve you, I just want to please you, Lord, I just want to please you, and it wasn't no self righteous thoughts. There was a joy that I had in my heart what the Lord had washed me ever so clean in his precious blood, and this thought came to my heart. This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, and I thought about that, and I had thought about it, and I said, that's what I won't ever be able to please the Lord without sinning, or not doing his will, not doing all that I promised to do for him, all that I desired to do for him, that that is not what pleases the Lord. What pleases the Lord is when I bring him the substitute, the sacrifice, I bring him Christ in me, and me in him, and I come to him in Christ. You can't do any better, no way can you do any better than coming to the Lord in Christ to the Father. Holy Father, I come with the blood, the precious blood of Christ. Holy Father, Lord of heaven and earth, you have had mercy upon this sinner, and you have done a work of grace in me, and Lord, give me grace to always come to you in the sacrifice, in my substitute. And so, for the good that I would, I do not, but the evil which I would not, that I do. Here is the dilemma, Paul wants, he wants to do what the Lord wants him to do. He wants to now serve the Lord who has washed him in the precious blood of Christ, and he's finding a battle that's going on in him. And he says, "When I would do good, evil is present with me." Now if I do that, I would not, this, now if I do that which I would not, this is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I'll thank you, barren with me, pray, pray, please. I find then a law that when I would do good, listen to this, I find now, he says, I find a law that when I would do good, evil is present with me. Now I'm not talking about Paul going out and sitting on a bar stool somewhere, slopping down miller lights. I'm not talking about that. In fact, don't use this chapter to say, "Well, Paul's sin, so I'm going to go sin." This is not what he's saying. He's talking about, "Well, the Friday's going to be coming in a few verses down in Matthew 5 where the Lord talks about the spirituality of the law, and I don't want to go ahead of him." So I'm just going to say it's the spirituality of the law that Saul is talking about. You remember what he said, he said, "I was alive without the law once. But when the law came, I died. When the spirituality of the law came to him, that's when it knocked him down, knocked him for a loop. I find then a law that when I would do good, evil is present with me." This is what his battle is. Now listen to the next verse, verse 22, "For I delight in the law of God after the inward man." Now, I wanted to listen to this and Lord help, I ask. This cannot be Saul, Paul. How many of you have ever went a whole day with nothing on your mind but the glory of God? Never a vain thought, never a diminishing of your dedication to the Lord. No eyes going astray, no thinking in the heart. And we would all of us would say, "I haven't, I can't say that I go a whole day." Or how about a whole week or a whole month? We are plagued with this entity within us that's of the old nature. And so who is this, that's his talking. For I delight in the law of God, who always delighted in the law of God, I ask you, who who always delights in the law of God, who can never sin, why it's the Lord Jesus Christ is my substitute, my redeemer. I have been given his righteousness because mine is full of spots, full of sin. It's filthy rags by nature. And so we're talking about Christ. Paul says, "I was crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life that I now live in the flesh, I live by the fate of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me." So this is Christ. This is what Colossians, the first chapters talking about, the mystery that's been hid from ages and from generations, is Christ in me, the hope of glory, all right? Hang on to that thought, let's go to the next one. But I see another law in my members, warring. This is the battle, warring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin, which is in my members, the law of sin that is in my members. And this is the war, here's the war. In Galatians 5th chapter and the 16th verse, this I say then, "Walk in the spirit and he shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." For the flesh lusts against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary to the one to the other, so that you cannot do the things that you would. But if you led me led to the spirit, you're not under the law. Now, that's why I'm saying this is the battle that the Apostle Paul is going through. And this is the battle we all have. And so he ends that seventh chapter with this, "Oh wretched man that I am." Here he is in conclusion to what we have read and we have talked about. He cries out, and this is something that I believe every childly God does at one time or another, "Oh wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death." And then he says, "I thank God through Jesus Christ, O Lord, how are we to manage through these battles is I'm going to go on to the Father, Lord of heaven and earth, and I'm going to go in the name and to the blood and the righteousness of the Lord, my Savior, my substitute, my Redeemer, my all and all. For I have nothing else and can do nothing else because the eighth chapter starts out, there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit, for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death." And that eighth chapter, I'm not going to read it, it's pretty thick and it do for your reading. So we see what our battle is, we see who has conquered it for us and listened to Ephesians chapter 4, that she put off concerning the former conversation, the old man. That's the culprit. The old man, the old nature, Paul says that she put off the conversation of the old man, which is corrupt, amen, according to the deceitfulness and be renewed in the Spirit of your mind and that she put on the new man. Now that new man is the one that delights in the law of God. He is the one who magnifies the law of God by his every action. My blessed Redeemer is who we're talking about here and that new man is Christ in me. That new man is Christ in you, the hope of glory, none other than Christ, anything other than that is religion and religion will send your soul to hell, anything other than Christ in you, the hope of glory is insanity. There is only one way, one hope, one Christ, salvation is of the Lord that you put on the new man which after God is created in true righteousness and holiness. You see that? That is how I come to the Father. That is how you come. You come in the new man and you regulate that, that old man to the dust and you tell and you get up in the morning and you say, "You play dead. You just lay down there and I'm going to reckon you're dead and Lord give me grace to walk with you today. Help me, Lord. Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doeth righteousness is righteous even as he is righteous. He that commit a sin is of the devil." That's why I told you back there, don't say, "Well, Paul has the battle and he can't do what he wants, he can't accomplish what he's trying to do." So I just got it, devil makes me do it, don't fall for that heresy and that's what it is. But every man has tempted when he's drawn away of his own lust and enticed and when lust hath conceived it bringeth for sin and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death. So you try to twist chapter seven around so you can fulfill the lust of your flesh. You better read James 1st, chapter 17 verse 1. He that commit a sin is of the devil and the devil sineth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifest and that word "manifestment" revealed that he might destroy the works of the devil, now listen to this in closing. For whosoever, listen now, don't get distracted. For whosoever is born of God, born of the Spirit of God, born of him. If not commit sins for his seed remaineth in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God. Not my friends is salvation when Christ enters in to me, when he entered into me and I entered into him, that new man never once ever sinned against God because Christ cannot sin. But the old man was left there so that we wouldn't get high in mighty and think we're doing something of ourselves, that old man knocks us down every day with a prayer. Oh wretched man, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? When we wrestle and we trip and fall and we get up and go on again and we battle for the flesh, lust against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh and these are contrary to the one to the other so that you cannot do the things that you would, but if you'd be born of the Spirit of God. You are not under the law, for there is no condemnation. Father, I ask you to just wash this message, wash it Lord, wash me and wash us and give us grace to carry on by the grace of God and we continually pray Lord for our unsaved love ones and those that are sick, those that are afflicted, those that are in the nursing homes and those Lord who are loving the world at this hour and we ask you Lord, have mercy in Christ's name, amen.
