Sermon Transcription
Medically it is called heart failure. It's a failing heart. Some people are alarmed at the sound of this diagnosis. Your heart is only working twenty-nine percent. You have to walk and do some exercise. Make your heart pump more. You can see myself locked in that room. And me, even at midnight, people are there. Is this fellowship dying of heart failure? The spirit of Egypt shall fade. Let us pray. O loving father, help us to be honest in your presence. These are very subtle sins that keep us from progressing in our pilgrimage. Big buildings, big show, big comforts, the verdict of God. The spirit of Egypt shall fade. The spirit of Egypt shall fade. Let us not put our trust and stake all our everything in the spirit of Egypt. Cleanse us in every part. Let us not be a disfigured, deformed, shrinking bride. Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in us again. Save us from the spirit of Egypt. It seems to be all over us. See how that man is prospering. If you go there, you will get more money. If you study this subject, you will get a big start-up pay. The spirit of Egypt is ruling many families. Not even preachers seem to be exiled. Save us Lord. Your prayers for our sanctification are to cause us to totally reject the world. Help us Lord. Cleanse us Lord. In Jesus Holy Name. Amen.
