“Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.”

Brother Lawson I hope you read this I love you and I thank God for you 😊
Thank you Pastor Lawson, from Perth Australia, so inspiring, God bless you 😊
Thank you Pastor Lawson for sharing the word of God with us. God bless. London, UK
Thank you for being a real believer. Love from UK
Finally I found a Pastor that speaks God truth. Watching believers preaching about scripture can lead us astray. His teachings do not lead believers astray. He is educated....
Thank you for providing us with this lesson
The Holy Spirit is the Author & finisher of
Our Faith. 💖💖💖💖💖

The living Word of God is life to all who receive it and obey. ❤
Powerful 🔥 🔥 hallelujah!!! I've been beating myself to death doubting and crying onto the Lord whether I'm 🙏 in conviction or not or saved ot not.. didn't know.
It's been rough roads lately and this sermon by the grace of God just given me aweh.

AMEN!
Thank you for sharing this video. Will you please pray for me and my family's salvation and direction 🙏
I still declare that in all the church of today, nobody preaches the broad perspective of Our Lord's Word as does Charles Lawson. Thank God for his faithfulness. The heart of man must be replaced by the new birth in Christ Jesus.
when JESUS reaches your heart your lowdown life will never be the same. some people believe in backsliders I dont because I believe if GOD ever reaches you a wall is between you and the things you use to be. we will never be perfect but the things you use to do before GOD came is gone forever. I sometimes have dreams about the things I did, wake up saying thank GOD that was a dream...never going to happen. when JESUS comes in HE takes over.....if you want HIM to. and GOD knows I am HIS! forever. never forget when JESUS came in my life. I cried for days thinking about what a mess I was but GOD cleaned all that up..... one day at a time. I will never feel good enough for JESUS.... tells me HE is still at work and will never stop because I want HIM there AMEN. love you Pastor Lawson not much truth left in this world but you will find it here!!!!
What if I don't feel the holy spirit's presence inside. I have asked Jesus into my heart as my Lord & Savior. I recall the parable of the mustard seed and I surely have more faith than that because I pray regularly & read but I don't feel like my prayers are heard. What am I not doing and what do I need to do?
@@user-qm2fq8ov9l do you look for your awnserrd prayers everywhere? Do you count all your blessings to Christ if you don't start there. Don't just ask for things praise Him for giving them to you before you've realized them.
Jesus is my Lord and Savior ❤
Amen.
The Good News: The Lord Jesus Christ died, was buried and rose again on the third day and shed his blood for the forgiveness of all sins for all who believe! Get saved today if you aren't already!
Have a blessed day folks!!
Amen
Amen! ❤
Pastor. Now is THE FIGHT FOR CHRIST. COME LORD JESUS. Amen! Pray often.
Don't trust your heart and mind to tell you how to be right with God. Trust the word of God.
Thank you for feeding the flock,i am hungry for God's word.
Thank you Pastor Lawson! God bless you!
Excellent Sermon Pastor. Sadly here in little New Zealand the churches has turned it's back on GOD, and now entertained by the world to keep the people seated.
power of holy spirit,God bless you sir lawson
thank you Jesus!
Please pray for my Family to be saved
Done. He is faithful.
@@sandylross8710 thank you Sandy and God Bless you too my Friend
Where 2 or more are gathered in His Name, He is there! I'm with you and we're with Jesus. That makes at least 3. It is finished; right? Trust Him. He is Good and kind. He's got your family! I will try to continue to pray for y'all. But it's not our prayers that do the work. It's our Savior and God! He does the work! May He richly bless you and yours ❤️
God bless you and your family to Jesus Christ 🙏 ❤
@@sandylross8710 You obviously didnt know this person has been posting the same request for about 6 years now !!!! all prayers have failed.She will be back next upload on Sunday and on it goes.So its not done at all.
Please pray for ALL lost souls to be saved 🙏🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 King James Version only.
Which church are true according to the Bible in this world? Because many churches are not true according to this scriptures, Roman's 10:1-3,2thimoty 4:3-4,2Peter 2:1-3..
@@vusimngomezulu2500You have good people in bad places and bad people in good places. Focus on Loving God 1st, then your neighbor and the rest will fall into place. Don't listen to men, listen to the Word of God because faith comes by HEARING the Word of God.
Look at the numbers. Temple Baptist is reaching the lost. The Lord let Temple Baptist go viral. Please keep this in mind, and share these messages. We need to reach the lost.
I am one of the youtube members of this church. It is reaching people. People who love the bare bones TRUTH of God's Kjv word. God bless Pastor Lawson and TBC!

God bless you Pastor Lawson. A man of truth that strikes the heart with God's word of truth. Translated in a way from God's servant who can deliver his word to us in a way many pastors of this day can't. Thak you Lord and please keep this man safe in Jesus name 🙏
I was among the chief of sinners the Lord had to reach way down low to pull me out of the pit I was in I still find it hard to believe he could forgive a man like me oh the depth of the love of God what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us that while we were still yet sinners Christ died for us
AMEN
& THEN you say THANK YOU Father for the chastisement‼️

We have about 50,000 thoughts per day so if we need to confess every sin we are in trouble.
Thank you Pastor Lawson

In my decades of living I have never seen God work a miracle or his promises come true.
That sounds like a sad existence, I couldn't imagine, I'm sorry. I've seen God move in my life and others around me, but I'm sure your definition of "miracle" and mine differ.. but also, I don't look at God as a genie either, answered prayers come in all shape and sizes. Maybe that's why you can't see any prayers being answered?🤷♀️
The Lord lefd me and I want to follow him I’m literally in Pain I don’t feel like living anymore sometimes I get heartbroken every time i need Jezus but he Don’t want me I think I want him
Tell him just what you said here. He is listening all the time. He is waiting for you to speak to Him. He is the one who can help you. Believe in His shed blood. It is very powerful. God bless you!
I’m prying every time for the same thing but it doesn’t happen and I keep believing in him but my heart is keep getting broken I’m always in pain I believe in the Lord Jezus Christ but I’m a Broken man you know He Knows My Heart and I Want Him To Know Me I I To Know Him He Is My King
Find a good Pastor to counsel with.
Go to church. Continue to pray and ask for prayer.
Seek help from God fearing men.
Maybe some sins and behaviors have to be repented of??
Never give up on getting help from the brethren.
Things don't come easy. But God is with you. ✝️🙏💜
@@yannicpocornie5194
Why do you think Jesus doesnt want you?? Why do you think Jesus left you??🤔
Thanks everyone for caring I love the Lord Jezus Christ
Let the holy Ghost search your heart; and the difference between the three gospels and the Gospel of John; another magnificent sermon. I learn every time I listen to your message. Amen God bless you.
John best book in bible Lawson best preacher in the world.
Romans
I kicked the slats out of my crib the other night and had a bout with the LORD. Said things I now regret, and asked questions that don't make any sense to me in the world. Basically, I ended up being humbled by the reminder that we are just passing through this world and the torment we experience here is NOTHING in comparison to the Hellfire I was saved from, by His grace and mercy. Still, I struggle with why He allows innocent children to suffer. Is it generational curses? Are they already destined for heaven or hell? I guess I'll find out when it's my time. 🤷♂
I been kicking and screaming lately too. But He keeps telling me paraphrased-- Dude! Really? Slap* I began a good work in you man,, chill out!
@@innyen19dYeah, it's tough sometimes and admittedly the devil gets the best of me at times. Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad pastor Lawson already covered this subject about getting upset with God.
Well said
@@scaleworksRC Funny isn't it, how over the last 5 years, how nearly every sermon on this channel, is aimed at so many, at the exact time they're in that specific issue. I'm out doing the job hunt today. I, me, Tim, feels like I'm wasting gas. Father though,,, He's up to something, I can feel it. And ai feel like He's smirking at me cause I'm finally up off my rump seeking His Will for my hands.
@@innyen19dYep, you know the battle.
THANK YOU BLESS YOU CHARLES! SHARED THIS OUT.
I was appalled when I saw Sister Jan Markell's program tonight showing some of these churches who have compromised and let the world into their services. There are no churches in my city that preach the Word. The United Church has 2 gay pastors, one woman and one man. The Catholic Church is full of idols and I've seen people praying at the feet of Mary and the Angels. The Baptist Church has gone woke as well. I praise the Lord that I can attend your services Pastor Lawson. I consider your church my church and the congregation are my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. Love you all very much.
The Lord bless you and keep you all in HIs tender care,, protect you and provide your daily needs, save your lost loved ones and friends. Agape - Maranatha!
“Return, O backsliding children,” says the LORD
“This fellow does not cast out demons except by [e]Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”
The Unpardonable Sin
31 “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come
Great message, Amen and Amen.
Amen.
Mr Lawson....help me
Pastor Lawson has given you The Word, now bring it to God and He will help you. ❤
John 1: 18
Greek manuscripts and many other English translations say the begotton God, not begotten son.
So it is another verse calling and recognizing Jesus is God.
Isaiah 9: 6
1John 5: 7-8
Titus 2: 13
Also notice John 21: 24 says WE (plural the desciples) know that his testimony is true.
I really appreciate Pastor Lawson's interjections of his life stories and testimony.
It makes him more relatable and human like the rest of us and his 5 decades long successful Christian walk gives us hope and encouragement.
My name is Hank and I'm not so good these days...I need the Lord...please respond if you can
Hank, its not a thing of being good or bad ,but on believing that Jesus died and payed the price for your sins so that you can be saved from them .When you recognize ,confess and are willing to repent of them ( which means to stop sinning) then you will be saved .The Holy Ghost of God will make his abode with you and give you the power to become a child of God ,defeat the devil , and be free from all sin . Alelulla Praise the Lord
I believe denying the diety & of the Holy Ghost of God & denying power of the Holy Spirit. Also after secind to what you said Pastor Lawson Grieving & rejecting the Holy Spirit.
You know Pastor Lawson, when I go out to share the gospel about 25% that say they have received Jesus into their lives, do not know if they are "born again?" I doubt their salvation, but most of all it shows that they are not in the Word. I always hand out the gospel of John when someone comes to Lord. They should know the gospel of John, don't you think? I pray for them that they not be deceived. Thank you brother in Christ!
For more on this topic, No King But Caesar & The Return Of The Melchisedec is available online at Advantage Books. Peace to all.
Yes that is the unpardonable sin
Iam a dirty dog that has repented to Jesus Christ✝️📖⌛
I can't wait to to your church and sit thru one of your services God bless you and your doctrine 🙏🙏🙏
I've been baptized 3 times, but never seeing it as dead and risen truly with Jesus
Why 3 times? The first time should have been sufficient!
Not biblical to have numerous baptisms! 😖🇬🇧
Matt 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Some of you may not know but jot and tittle are part of the Hebrew letters. The hebrew bible being written in Hebrew. The jot know. As “yod” is the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet. And a tittle is something like beit (ב) and kaph (כ) notice that little piece protruding out of the bottom right side of the letter kaph. That can be the tittle.
Why does God search the hearts of those who are reading, and studying the pure words of God?
Could it have something to do with these verse?
(John 4:23-24) "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: >>>>>for the Father >seeketh< such to worship him.
Pastor Bunny Trails cannot follow a train of thought. It is marvelous that the Holy Spirit can communicate inspite of the inability of the preacher to hold a thread.
At the beginning of this sermon i noticed how the pastor has not mentioned the gaza conflict yet, he did wait five months to even mention it🤦🏻♂️
I love pastor lawson but his opinions on conflict are really twisted, its good he stays with bible and faith...🕊️📖🕊️🛐🕊️
God bless you all greatly, brothers and sisters...
🙏🙏🏼🙏🏾🕊️👑🕊️🙏🙏🏼🙏🏾
The devil is trying to condemn you
Pastor Charles has an estimated net worth of $2,748,914, and Jesus says this about that in Matthew 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
How do I share these videos but from my channel?
Can someone at Temple Baptist tell Pastor Lawson that 2024 Passover will have the 10th red heifer to sacrifice.
*What The Father has spoken will never change, His promises are still good and our prayers are still answered! Hallelujah!!! But as impossible as this sounds, like so many of the true stories in scripture, our bibles have all been supernaturally changed by Satan in the last several years, right in our homes, in the fulfillment of prophecy. It's being done to prepare for the reign of the antichrist. All languages and all translations have been changed along with concordances, encyclopedias, dictionaries, history books, the original Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Aramaic manuscripts. Even the Dead Sea Scrolls have been changed!*
*I'm 71, was saved when I was 10, and have read only the exact same copy of the King James bible my church gave me in 1961. (This does not mean I was a King James onlyist but now I'm glad I never read other ones or I might not have noticed the changes as soon.) I had memorized many scriptures from it through the years. Then in 2014 I started seeing changes in it that I couldn't explain. I had never owned a computer or heard of the Mandela Effect back then. But after being given my first computer in 2016 I finally found out why I had been noticing all of the oddities that I couldn't explain. I then started diligently studying what should actually be called the "Daniel 7:25 effect". That's where God said He would give the antichrist the power to do this. (Change times and laws, history and scripture) We're seeing many end times prophecies being fulfilled SUPERNATURALLY! This is some of the "lying signs and wonders" God told us He would give the AC power to perform which would even deceive His very elect, if it were possible in 2nd Thessalonians chapter two!*
*God said in the end of days, (NOW!) that He would send us a famine for hearing His words in Amos **8:11** and that He would give the antichrist the ability to do this in Daniel 7:25. In Daniel 12:4 & 12:9 He told him to seal his book until the end days. He told John **_not_** to seal his book because the end time is at hand in Revelation 22:10. One of the Greek definitions of seal in Strongs concordance is “to protect from Satan”. He also told us to “write His words in our hearts”, which meant memorize, if not word for word at least the essence of what was written, because He knew this was going to happen.*
*God commanded us to "prove all things", and people **_better_** obey Him, especially on this subject. I urge you to research this. There are many brothers and sisters making videos about the changes with more proof of what was originally written and I have lots more about this in my playlist 👉 which can be found by typing in (proof of bible change residue junkie)* 👈
ruclips.net/p/PLOTw4zBND_NPf66nKUONLoe2MNFLb5LQr
*I've continued stay in God's word by reading what has been documented to be what used to be written and what Satan has been changing. Soon Amos **8:12** will be fulfilled too and we won't be able to find God's word anymore, and the only way it can happen is by not being able to see these videos that document what used to be written in our bibles.*
*_May God bless all who read this with eyes to see this incredible faith strengthener, and how close we are to our Saviour's return!!!!_*
*P.S. Everyone is going to learn about this one way or the other. I'm just trying to save people from hearing Jesus explain it to them at the Gate. If you ask for them at the address on my about page I will send you links for 15 films that absolutely prove the snake bite is the mark. And yt hates me, they won't notify me of replies and won't post my answers so write me at residue junkie in one word at g mail for lots more info yt would never allow you to see.* ❤✝️💪
*P.P.S. YT will not notify me if you reply here so write me at my g mail which is residue junkie in one word.*
26:02 You're right, John didn't mention that you have to be baptised to be saved. But are you saying that Mark lied in Mark 16:16 when he quoted Jesus? "He that believeth and is BAPTIZED shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." Or maybe he misquoted Jesus? Or did Jesus lie?
That Bible verse always puzzled me, none sell all, give to poor, deny self, take up cross, & follow him????
It's about a man’s heart and highest priority.
The man's possessions were his priority, not righteousness and seeking God's will and purpose.
That one statement could have a book written on it, bc it means a lot of different things to a lot of different people
I don’t think anyone can do it but Him, what He said was more about Himself than others, even if we did do what He said, we still can’t be numbered with the transgressors bc we are the transgressors
A lot of what’s going on with Christ and the righteous is Him showing them who He is, while at the same time hiding who He is
We think we are like Him and can follow Him and do what He does and be like Him but we can’t
So He made Himself like us by going to the cross and having an end in place of the end that we would have
Is the cross the end of the life for one like the Son of God, or is it the end of someone in total rebellion against God?
If you have nothing and your dead in your sins, you can’t do what He told them
@@pitbullw2350 That's why Paul says to follow him as he follows Christ.
1Corinthians 4: 16
1Corinthians 11: 1
@@bryanrendleman2001 Paul is referring to a pastoral position bc they got saved by Paul’s preaching and confirmed by Him
Paul has went on to be with the Lord, and we use what He wrote bc it’s inspired scripture
Paul’s salvation is one that causes a lot of debate and strife, we end up at one end of the spectrum or the other on it
A similar dialogue went on between Christ and the Pharisees over father Abraham, Abraham was called father for a different reason than what they thought it was, if Paul was alive on earth in an earthly ministry we could call Him father if your faith came from his preaching
But me personally I don’t call anyone father like that, I called my biological dad father out of respect but in no way was it implied the way religion does it today
@@bryanrendleman2001 point is Paul’s pastoral authority is no different than other Pastors, his Apostleship is equal to the others who were apostles, Paul’s salvation and relationship with Christ is the same as ours
He literally got capital punishment for being a Christian
