someone spoke about dna and what dna stands for my dna stands for divine nature alteration because when i got the baptism of the holy ghost he changed some things in me and i know he changed some things in you how many knows this world is out of order there's a lot of people moving out of certain states in record numbers they're moving out of states in record numbers all because they tell you one thing it's out of order here it's out of order here and they're moving to areas of the country that they deem that's in order well i'd like to make a spiritual application tonight i hope the world sees that the church is in order and they'll come out of the world and come on in the church amen you have your bibles turn with me to exodus chapter 26 and verse number 17 exodus chapter 26 and verse number 17. again um i mentioned the ericksons sister carpenter and myself was at brother mcknight's funeral uh last night and the ericssons stayed for the second service today and on their way home and then we have got a busload a busload of our juniors and seniors from aca that are in florida at a their junior senior trip that's where that's where they're at and and you know i came through three states today all right and and one state my wife and i walked in the little store with our mask on and they looked at us like we was about to rob them because they nobody had their mask on we went in another state alabama i think and uh every everybody had their mask on and then i drove over the into tennessee and got out and half the people had their mask on so so whether our young folks are in florida they're in florida exodus chapter 26 and verse number 17. two tenions shall there be in one board set in order set in order i'd like you to repeat those three words with me set in order one against another thus thou shalt make all the boards of the tabernacle tonight i'd like to teach a bible lesson simply put he is the god of order he is the god of order father i love you tonight father i consider it a high honor god i don't know why you saved me and i really don't know why you called me into the ministry but god if i can fulfill your will tonight and feed these precious people that have gathered those that have gathered in this room and those that are gathered around computers i pray tonight god that you would anoint your servant and anoint god you would touch me and help me to articulate what's on my mind that i feel that's come from your mind help me to lead us and guide us lord i'll give you the praise and the honor and the glory in jesus name we pray amen you may be seated set in order set in order he's his opening verse tonight is about the tabernacle and it's about the material of the tabernacle and three words that will be used and you will see this in a moment you might just want to direct your attention to the screen they're going to put the scriptures just one right after the other but the word order simply means an arrangement an arrangement the word order has a military uh array it's it has to do with military it means to be placed it means to be placed in a rank it means to be placed in a row and when god begin to build the tabernacle you will see that he uses the phrase set in order exodus 27 21 in the tabernacle of the congregation without the veil which is before the testimony aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to morning before the lord exodus 39 37 the pure candlestick and i'm i'm emphasizing the word order because i want to i want to as an attorney if i was an attorney in a courtroom and you were the jurors what i want to convince you of tonight is that we serve a god who is a god of order he's a god of order exodus 39 37 the pure candlestick with the lamps thereof even with the lamps to be set in order exodus chapter 40 and verse number four and thou shalt bring in the table and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it exodus 40 and verse number 23 and he shall and he shall he and he set the bread in order upon it before the lord as the lord had commanded moses so we see here in this tabernacle that there is a word that is used over and over and over again set in order you just didn't you just didn't you just didn't haphazardly operate in the sanctuary in the in the tabernacle wasn't just haphazard there was order and this order was established by god but he didn't stop with the physical material things of the tabernacle itself in leviticus chapter 1 verse number 7 and the sons of aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar and lay the wood in order upon the fire so now we not only have a tabernacle that is set in order but we have men that have been ordained as they operate in the sanctuary to set the wood in order verse 8 and the priest aaron's sons shall lay the parts now we're talking about sacrifices now shall lay the parts the head the fat in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar in other words there was a particular order that they put the wood on the fire but not just a particular order that they put the wood on the fire there was a particular order that they lay the sacrifices on the wood leviticus chapter 1 verse 12 he shall cut it into pieces with his head and his fat and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar again leviticus 6 and verse number 12 and the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it it shall not be put out and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning and lay the burnt offering in order upon it and he shall burn there on the fat of the peace offerings order leviticus 24 and verse number 3 without the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation shall aaron order it from the evening and to the morning before the lord continually it shall be a statue forever in your generations leviticus 24 and verse 4 he shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the lord continually leviticus 24 verse number 8 every sabbath he shall order it before the lord continually being taken from the children of israel by an everlasting covenant look at this that old testament tabernacle was a place of god-ordained instructed order the men that operated in the tabernacle among the altar and the sacrifices there was an order that they were to go by but not only that not only that hebrews chapter 5 and verse number 6. says these words and as he saith also in another place thou art a priest forever after the order of melchizedek so so we begin to understand something about the god that we embrace tonight the god that we worship the god that we're asked to devote our 100 compassion and love and devotion to we soon find that he is a god he is a god of of order he's a god of order but i believe that we can actually see how much he is a god of order by simply looking at creation the first chapter in our bible shows us that he's a god that doesn't work out of order he started with what was essential what is essential to life church he started with water water is essential for life and he moved in an orderly fashion from day one day two all the way to the sixth day and you know it all follows in order god never made a fish until he had first made a seed that the fish could thrive in god never made man until he first made the atmosphere that would be conducive to the life of man god is a god of order to live in god's order is one of the most if not the most beautiful thing a human being could ever do is to live in harmony with god's order it's the most awesome thing it's the most wonderful thing it's the most indescribable thing that i could ever try to tell you about but to align your life up with god's order you reap such rich unbelievable mind-blowing benefits from almighty god when we line our lives up with god's divine order we just thank him right now why don't we just thank him oh god i love you lord i'm thankful for your word i'm thankful god for your word tonight that i can set my life in order god and i can find lord the peace that passeth all understanding i love you god i praise you god god has an order god had an order of how the tabernacle and how all the furniture in the tabernacle should be treated you're still with me tonight right god had an order of how he how you treated the tabernacle if you're reading the bible through with us in the in this year you're reading or you have read through the part where around the tabernacle god would over and over and over say don't let a stranger come in lest i kill him don't let a stranger you see if you take your highlighter and just underline every time he talks about the tabernacle and he says don't let a stranger come lest i kill him matter of fact we've already read were some uh some sons of aaron offered strange fire you see this god of order he doesn't play favorites he doesn't care if you're someone that's never known or someone that has always known when you get out of god's order these two young men their lives were taken so god has an order of how things are to be and i want to inform you that the spirit of sincerity is not a card that you go directly to gold and collect 200 there are a lot of good sincere people that are out of order with god they're out of order they're sincere well let's read let's read about one tonight ii samuel chapter six verse number one let's read about a sincere man second samuel chapter six and verse number one again david gathered together all the chosen men of israel thirty thousand and david arose and went with all the men that were with him from balia of judah to bring up from fence the ark of god whose name is called by the by the name of the lord of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims and they set the ark of god upon a new cart and brought it out of the house of abinadab that was in gibeah and uzza in ohio the sons of of abinadab drained the draped the new cart and they brought it out of the house of abinadab which was in gibeon accompany the ark of god and ahayah went before the ark and david and all the house of israel played before the lord on all manner of instruments made of fur wood even on harps and sultries and timbrels and cornets and on symbols and when they came to nacor's threshing floor user put forth his hand to the ark of god and took hold of it for the oxen shook it and the anger of the lord was kindled against us and god smote him there for his error and there he died by the ark of god david was displeased because the lord had made a breach upon us and he called the name of the place prelusa unto this day and david was afraid of the lord that day and said how shall the ark of the lord come to me now was david sincere absolutely was there unity in israel thirty thousand absolutely did they have the emotions in it they had all the music was in it they had every kind of music there but they were not moving god in the order that he had previously told them to move you see that new cart business that putting the the ark of the covenant on a new cart they didn't get that from god you know where they got it from when the ark of god when god allowed his the ark to be taken into the hands of the philistines god allowed it god allowed the philistines because of the the sinful life of israel god allowed the philistines to take the ark of the covenant and they took it and sometime later the israel got it back but how the philistines carried the ark was on a cart on a wagon they had a wagon it was a philistine mode of carrying things on a wagon and so when it came time in david's day to carry the ark to move the ark he naturally brother brandon thought about the way that the philistines moved it he was sincere he was emotional he had a desire to have the presence of god in his life but all of those all of those things do not negate the fact that we have to seek god by an order oh they're happy they're singing they come to a place and the oxen came to a rough place it was a threshing floor it was rough and the oxen stumbled and the the cart teetered a little bit and uzza uzza reached his hand up asked to to to stabilize it i i i i guess you could say the ark wasn't ooza friendly he he he put his hand up on the ark to destabilize the ark and when he did the anger of god kindled against dusa and whether it was a bolt of lightning we don't know but all of a sudden somebody hollered over the top of the music we've got a dead man here who's us dead he's dead he's not breathing he's dead we got a dead man here and all the music lord and david came up and david said what in the world happened i said well the the ark the the the the ark teetered a little bit the cart when it got on the threshing floor and it it teetered a little bit and oozing just put his hand up there to protect and to keep the ark from falling off and god smote him well david got afraid david got afraid he said i i i don't know hey this this can't come home to me i i somehow we're not doing this right and david sent the ark away but then in first chronicles chapter 15 and verse number one you see tonight let me say that god is so awesome that you can seek him and be out of order and not get life but get death but god is such an awesome god that if you just go back to this book and begin to read the order david went back to his house and he began to read the bible and in first chronicles 15 and 1 and david made him houses in the city of david and prepared a place for the ark of god and pitched for it a tent listen to verse 2 real closely then david said none ought to carry the ark of god but the levites for them hath the lord chosen to carry the ark of god and to minister unto him forever and david gathered all israel together to jerusalem to bring up the ark of the lord unto his place which he had prepared for it verse four and david assembled david assembled the children of aaron and the levites what happened what happened between the death of ooza and what i'm reading you david went to the book david went to the bible david went to the levites david went to a generation that that was before him and he began to question and someone said well first off the ark should not be carried on a cart that's a worldly way to do it oh friend being in the apostolic church i'm not interested in how the world's doing it somebody take me to the book let's seek god after the order of god it's too many people there's too many people judging the way they live for god by how the world views that they should live for god the world can carry that but it's going to be death and so david saw the ark doesn't belong on a cart it belongs on the shoulders of the levites he got it set in he got it said well i almost said it he got it set in order verse 12 first chronicles 15 verse 12 and he said unto them ye are the chief of the fathers of the levites sanctify yourselves clean yourselves up both ye and your brethren that ye may bring up the ark of the lord god of israel unto the place that i have prepared for it for because he did it not at the first now now he's going to explain why ooza died he said because we did it not at the first the lord our god made a breach upon us for that we sought him are you are you following now we sought him not after the you know why oozing died we were out of order i mean we can have the that we we had sincerity we had pleading we had music but we were out of order and david said we had death because we sought him not according to the new order so the priests and the levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the lord god of israel and the children of the levites bear the ark of god upon their shoulders with the stage thereon as moses commanded according to the word of the lord and david spake to the chief of the levites to appoint their brethren to be singers with instruments of music sultry's harps symbols sounding by the lifting of the voice in joy do you understand what i'm talking about the ark came back to jerusalem and david danced his coat off the ark came back to jerusalem and it became one huge celebration people david fed everybody in the city of jerusalem it was a festive time the ark of god has come for the tent that i have pitched for it what was the difference in the first time when moving the ark led to a funeral and the second time moving the ark of god led to a festival i tell you what it was it was a simple thing called order and it's the same thing tonight that'll turn our funerals into festivals if we will seek god according to his order would you give the lord a hand of praise right now order is beautiful order is beautiful god's order is beautiful everything god makes everything god makes is beautiful everything god makes is beautiful god's never made one ugly thing everything god makes everything god makes is beautiful even when god made that angel which would later become satan when god made him at the first he made him beautiful ezekiel chapter 28 verse number 11 moreover the word of the lord came unto me saying son of man take up a lamentation upon the king of tyrus and say unto him now this this this this prophecy here mentions a king but the prophetic meaning is to satan thus saith the lord god thou sealest up the son full of wisdom and perfect in what's that word beauty thou has been in eden the garden of god every precious stone was thy covering the sardis the topaz the diamond the barrel the the barrel the onyx the jasper the sapphire the emerald the carbuncle and the gold the workmanship of thy tabrets tablets that's musical instruments and of thy pipes was prepared in the in the day that that was created thou art the anointed cherub that covereth and i have set thee so thou was upon the holy mountain of god thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire thou was perfect in thy ways from the day that thou was created until iniquity was found in thee let me tell you satan had a job lucifer had a job he was the closest angelic being that was to god inside of satan was prepared every musical instrument that you can imagine there was pipes in him and tambourines in him there was stones that would reflect the glory of god he is his the the the name lucifer means son of the morning and it has the reference to praise was continually going up before god god calls him a beautiful creature god calls him a beautiful creature you know why he is beautiful is because he is in god's order his beauty is hinging upon his order he is beautiful till till iniquity was found in thee and then isaiah chapter 14 verse number 12 picks it up how art doubt fallen from heaven oh lucifer son of the morning how art thou cut down to the ground which did weaken the nations here's the reason for thou has said in thine heart i will ascend into heaven i will exalt my throne above the stars of god i will sit also upon the mount of the congregation and the sides of the north i will ascend above the heights of the clouds i will be like the most high yet thou shalt be brought down to hell to the sides of the pit when satan was doing god's order he was beautiful when satan was walking in god's perfect order there's none compared to him but when he got out of order and decided instead of being the praiser i want to be the one being praised inside of instead of being the worshiper i want to be the one being worshiped and god said no no no no no you are simply out of order and when this beautiful being got out of order god cast him down to the earth and he became a demon we all would agree sin is not beautiful if you think sin is beautiful you need a heart change if there's anything about the world seen that attracts you you need to get your heart checked and you need to do it very quickly this world is an ugly place because it's a place of being out of order you can blame every ugly thing in this world from suicides to mass bombings you can blame every ugly thing in this world to one being that got out of order we can blame every sickness in our bodies tonight to our original parents adam and eve because they got out of order everything that we suffer from tonight is tied to their being out of order but i haven't come tonight to say i told you so i've come tonight to try to convince you that we need to always strive to be in god's order you're in trouble when you begin to see the world as ugly and the ch and you begin to see excuse me the church is ugly and you begin to see the world as enticing that's listen you're you're starting to get out of order and you may have things partially good right now but you're headed in the wrong direction and death will soon death will soon follow oh i um i could tell you just for some some illustrations the man is tormented the man rips his clothes off the man takes rocks and cuts himself uh brother fagaso he was telling me today that he had had that migraine for for uh six days and he said pastor he he said he said you don't understand the torment the torment that that that that he that he was going that he was going through to be tormented you would take rocks and cut yourself mutilate your body to be tormented that you would dwell among graves and you would you would sleep in tombs with corpse corpses that were rotting always in the mountains day and night crying out cutting himself naked unkept crying but all of a sudden the god of order stepped on the shore and when the god of order stepped on the shore those demons knew that their time was up and those demons came running and opened its mouth they had control of him there was legions legions hundreds of spirits in this one man this one man had hundreds of demonic spirits in him and the demons said why have you come to torment us before a time jesus told them to be quiet and to come out to come out of the man come out of that man see he's a god of order he's a god of order come out of a man but before they came out sister angela before they came out they had a request now god in his creation had made these animals called pigs and these pigs were doing what the god of order created them to do they were eating they were feeding they were doing what the god of order created them to do no one looked over and said hey the pigs are acting strange today what do you mean they're eating they're not acting strange that's what they always do hey the pigs are over there wallering in the mud yeah that's what they do that's that's just the piece but the demons said lord would you allow us to enter in to the swine and the lord gave them permission you are permitted you're allowed you're leaving the man and i do allow you to go into the swine and when those demons went into the swine you see the man before this was out of order how you know he's out of order cutting himself naked tormented away from family couldn't get a night's rest it's not what the way god created man so when the spirits came out the spirits of disorder came out they went into the swine who were in order but when the spirits of the devil went into the swine what did the devil what did the swine start doing they got out of order they just sitting over there chomping away eating away what they've always done from sun up to sun down just eating the eating to their little piggy hearts is content they just over there eating and the next thing you knew they decided to drown themselves they began to act out of their nature they ran down a steep place over into the ocean and thousands of them drown all because the spirit of disorder entered in to them that's why you and i have testimonies tonight that before we had the hope got the holy ghost listen to me now please before we receive the holy ghost we were destructive creatures out of order we were doing things we knew were wrong but we did them anyway we were doing things that on the side of the packages say if you do this if you smoke this if you drink this liver a cancer and all these things but we did it anyway you know why we had the spirit of disorder inside of us but what happened when we received the holy ghost we received the spirit of the god of order and the spirit of the god of order said you don't need to do that anymore as a matter of fact aren't you thank you thankful you got the before and the after in your life i used to hate to go to church but when i got the spirit of the god of order i wanted to go to church i had no desire to praise god i had no desire to lift my hands i had no no desire to live for god but when the spirit of the god of order came inside of me i got a desire to want to go to god's house i got a desire to want to live for him oh i wish somebody helped me praise him tonight well brother carpenter i don't have that i don't have that i want to ask you a question i don't want you to answer it when is the last time you were in the presence of the lord i didn't ask you when the last time you were at church because you can come to church and not be in the presence of the lord you can do that i'm asking you now i want you to ask yourself when was the last time i was in the presence of god now can i tell you this you control whether or not you're in the presence of god well i don't know brother carmen when's the last time we had a real good service no no no no no no no i matter of fact i think any time we can gather together and worship god's a good service you decide if you're in the presence of god you can be in a good service and the person your shoulder is touching tonight can be in the presence of god and you not be in the presence of god how is that because they that worship the father must worship the father in spirit that is a little s you must worship the father in spirit god is a spirit you have a spirit you must worship god in your spirit and in order to worship god in your spirit you have to conquer the flesh the flesh acts as almost a sealant around the spirit and the flesh does not want to give way to the spirit but you have to worship god in the spirit you have to close everybody out around you you can't be concerned listen you will never worship god you will never get in god's presence worried about what people think about you because underneath that is pride you're not going to get in god's spirit concerned how will i look what will somebody think what will if i if i get in no no you'll never do that but if you will tonight decide i don't care what anybody thinks about me i'm going to lift my hands right now because i'm living a tormented life i'm living a life that is empty of the joy of the lord i don't care what my boyfriend thinks i don't care what my youth group thinks i don't care what anybody thinks around me jesus i love you jesus i need you oh god i've got to have you lord i don't want to live life without you i don't want to be a part of this disordered life i need to have you lord i need to have you god and somewhere oh hallelujah somewhere in the midst of that i feel the presence of the lord i feel the presence of the lord that's why i can say psalm 16 11 thou will show me the path of life in thy presence is fullness of joy at thy right hand are pleasures forevermore can i tell you something tonight things don't have to change for you to get joy things may be the same as they were when you come to church tonight but if you can just get into the presence of the lord there's unspeakable joy in the press but you can't care what you can't you can't be bothered about what you look like and you can't have leaving on your mind you can't have well i'm in a hurry listen god's not going to move on anybody that's in a hurry but if you'll just simply say i'll put the brakes on right now i'll put the brakes on right here i don't care what anybody thinks about me i'll stand to my feet i'll begin to worship you i begin to praise you i begin to magnify you i need the joy of the lord there's all kind of chaos going on in my life there's all kind of disorder going on around me but if i can just begin to praise you if i can just begin to praise you now let me tell you tonight as i come to a close here in a moment you control it you control it too many people are thinking god's spirit is something that's just going to hit you one day oh you know i'm sorry it doesn't work that way someone told me once they said well i'd like to come visit your church but i don't believe in that holy ghost speaking in tongues i said come on you don't have a thing to worry about come on you don't have a thing to worry about well i i you don't have it if you don't want it you ain't gonna get it i know that's not good grammar but it's good doctrine all right you're not gonna get it if you don't you don't want it because it's not gonna you're not just gonna be standing here in this church one day boom it just hit you you got to want it you got to want it you you got to see that you got to have it you got to want it you control it you control it and i know that mean some arched eyebrow stuff absolutely just like adam and eve did our parents in genesis 3 and 8. they heard the voice of the lord god walking in the garden in the cool of the day and adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the lord hid themselves they had a choice it got in their family it got in their first son came genesis 4 16 and cain went out from the it didn't stop with them it was a prophet called jonah and in jonah chapter one verse number three says but jonah rose up to flee and to tarshish from the you control it you can hide from it you can leave leave it you can run from it but i don't want to be with that group i don't want to i don't want to run from the only orderly thing on the planet i don't want to run from the only thing that can help me the only running i want to do is go running to it i want to go running to it oh you're telling me you're going to give me the they're going to get here an hour or so brother brother josh they're going to get here an hour or so before church and they're going to practice praise and worship music and they're going to pray that god anoints their voices and we're going to be given several minutes to worship god let me tell you sign me up i'm running toward that because this world is crazy this world is out of order their music does not bring victory their entertainment does not bring family wholeness put me in the church put me in the church put me in the church first timothy 3 14. listen to paul listen to paul put me in the church put me put me in the church verse timothy 3 14. listen to paul these things right i unto thee hoping to come unto you shortly but if i tarry long that thou mayest know how thou ought us to behave thyself in the house of god which is the church of the living god and the pillar and ground of truth can i tell you you're listening to me tonight there is a certain behavior we should have in this room there is a certain behavior a certain behavior we should have when we when we come into this building this is no ordinary building this is god's house this is god's house and paul wrote to timothy and said that you ought to know how you ought to what there's a certain behavior there's a certain behavior well let me let me let me just go back to the old testament leviticus chapter 19 verse number 27 now anytime mother fart any time in the bible that you find two identical scriptures means that god is placing emphasis on this when you find two scriptures that are identical i mean identical it is god placing emphasis and i want you to just hold that hold that thought leviticus 19 verse number 27. you shall not round the corner corners of your heads neither shall you mar the corners of thy beard now what this was the heathens had haircuts that identified with their pagan gods and god was just simply saying don't you pick up their behavior still with me right you shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead nor print any marks upon you i am the lord they painted on their flesh body art they painted on their flesh to identify them with their pagan gods verse 29 do not prostitute thy daughter to cause her to be a now now please if you've got a channel on your television that brings that kind of language in your home don't get upset with me that i just use that word i hear somebody laughing i love it do not pry oh the preacher you know that preacher what that preacher said tonight you hear what that preacher said honey did you pay that hbo bill we got to get that new channel do not prostitute that daughter to to cause her to be a lest the land fall to whoredom and the land become full of wickedness ye shall keep my sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary i am the lord regard not them that have familiar spirits neither seek after wizards to be defiled by them i am the lord your god thou shalt rise up before the horry head that's gray-headed people and honor the face of an old man and fear thy god i am i am the lord look at sandwich right in there i mean he's talking about about people that identified with their pagan gods through body art and and chopping up their hair and everything else he comes down to talk about fathers causing their daughters to become right in the middle of that sandwich he said you reverence my sanctuary you respect my place of dwelling then he went in to talk about witchcraft sorcery and and uh and all that right in the middle of it right in the middle i mean he talks about the behavior in god's house right in the middle of this everything we're talking about is disorder trying to keep up with the pagans is how they dress and what they do and right in the middle of it god just said let me slide some order in here you know what the order is right in the middle of this carpet he said let me slide some order in here and the order is come to my house and reverence my house have a different behavior when you come here well let's go over to chapter 26 of leviticus verse number 1 leviticus chapter 26 verse number 1 ye shall ye shall make you no idols nor graven image nor rear you up a standing image neither shall you set up an image of stone in your land to bow down unto it for i am the lord your god you shall keep my sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary i am the lord now here again that second time sister penton he says that verse a second time i want you to reverence my sanctuary i am the lord now the first time he said it was sandwiched in between the disorder of the world sorcery all kinds of lewdness but now he says in verse 2 you shall keep my sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary i am the lord if you walk in my statues and keep my commandments and do them then will i give you rain and due season and the land shall yield her increase the trees of the field shall yield their fruit and your threshing shall reach unto the vintage and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time and ye shall eat your bread to the full and dwell in your land safely and i will give peace in the land and you shall lie down and none shall make you afraid i will rid evil beasts out of the land neither shall the sword go through your land and ye shall chase your enemies and they shall fall before you by the sword five of you shall chase a hundred and a hundred shall put ten thousand to flight your enemies shall fall before you by the sword for i will have respect unto you and make you fruitful and multiply you and establish my covenant with you look at the difference in one place he tells you how to come out of that lewd lifestyle in one place he tells you how to not cause your daughter to be a and how to not to be mixed up with wizards and all of that kind of stuff in one place he says the answer is get in my sanctuary and learn how to behave get in my sanctuary and learn how to worship me get in my sanctuary and learn my word get in my sanctuary and hear teaching on how a godly woman ought to be acting get in my sanctuary and learn how a man ought to be acting get in my sanctuary and bring your children and let a youth pastor tell them on how and he said then then if we do that oh hallelujah if we do that he said you're going to live in a land i'm going to bless you he said you're going to have jobs you're going to be prospering the hand of the lord is it going to be upon you and said when the enemy comes out you're going gonna five of you is gonna chase a hundred and all of these things are gonna happen and it all revolves around the sanctuary our behavior because god is a god of order now parents i ask
