Greetings friends and new listeners.

Welcome to the RT heart ministries program.

Nine. Sharon not thanking you for joining us today because we know Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Today's message by my father, brother Hardy is certain to speak to everyone of our hearts in both a powerful and discerning way. It's entitled brotherly love.

The key to unity. Psalm 133 declares how good and how beautiful it is for brethren to dwell together in unity well. While it is certainly beautiful. It is not always easy, but unity starts with brotherly love. All right walk on the same lines 1125 and 20 search will go to that I want to get the setting you just redo the 2520 search you will get the setting let's go to more global chapter start at the 22nd two just entering sure you follow them, have faith in God really say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain we will remove you vocationally see and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass. What jewelry sale 24 verse therefore assume you bring shall be bizarre when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them personally like most favorite scriptures on receiving from God context, it should now read the next verse, the 25th verse and when you stand praying, forgive, if you have or against any that your father also which is in heaven may forgive you for your trust fashions. If you do not forgive, neither will your father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. So what did she tell you to do until June 24 first to pray 25th verse he says what are you praying remembered to forgive your brother and sister because if you don't you will be able to say the verse up ahead to this method, be thou removed, be thou cast in the sea and not doubt in your heart and you have whatever you say because you have combination in your heart so you gotta read that in the context that he said it you got things in your heart you can act like you received. You can have absolute faith and say, as it were, to the mountains of things would you like be removed without piercing the sea you have, whatever you say it's in the context that you forgive your brother God will forgive you and therefore if you are not forgiven. For God, how can he hear you we are condemned we have confidence with God that what are we asking if he hears us and gives us because we keep his commandments.

The Scripture discipline of a fallen brother 15th chapter of Matthew how to deal with brotherly paddleboard. Right now we come to this brother he don't response: Zada fellowships what should we do say you got just what he deserved.

What should we do. Galatians 61 brother if a man be overtaken in the fall was after he will jump going for knocking down overtaken in all these in sin is outside of the church devil is really disease things almost ready to die.

What should we do the will of the devil, then finishing what I know. What should we do brother never maybe overtaken authority which are spiritual first requirement is what you gotta be spiritual. What is our mode of condition of the person to go to this brother is to be spiritual. What is the attitude of the goes in spirit of meekness. Remember 12 things to try to render some kind of some good deed to win part of me is me in the right attitude in the right mindset tried to get him to respond by love, trying to show him that your loving coming in the right attitude you not kicking down we know brother you did wrong, but that's all right. We all make mistakes. Having the right attitude, but like I said a lot of people are looking for. This still waiting for some. I do make a mistake. They already got a gift of suspicion already noted on the gotta have the proof in their weight soon as they find a brother sister made mistake delectable chicken hawks break down all of the good offensive walk, but God said no in the wrong gender fall stole my brother and sister, try to getting back going to wing it had to be spiritual with this at me, to be prayed up. I would have to have the right mindset.

Gotta have meekness when I have to go try the minister to his knees, minister grace and kindness and favor to his needs. First of all, so that we are not high-minded hears of pride again concerning our selfless, we also be tempted. We don't know the circumstances make a brother for and without God's grace one of us would stand you know if the God would let the devil just attack us without any limitations without cessation. Everyone of us to crack him if he would just let us go continually continually continually everyone of us, somebody will go longer than others, but we will all crack hundred but God doesn't do that. What he said I will put more than you want a because he uses the devil is a puffin pad doesn't to get out cracks in the future for diamonds in the rough sometimes and father may be a dominant big baton, they could cut polishing it got cracks and fissures they might not come up with anything. God let there be something left that it will come up and take his jewels just keep all but the use of the double above" when we can't stand it anymore mixing that will pull it back doubles the puffin pad in the hand of the Lord. So we all stand by God's grace and when we see her brother felt that we want to take in consideration that we could fall the same way the Bible to let him to think stand take the last people I know a lot of people so you can fall without Scripture said to you would fall and then we are to consider our selfless, we also be tempted.

Don't know whether we could go through what that brother sister. We don't know the circumstances extend waiting circumstances behind. In fact, what we went on after all we have to know is that the body of Christ. So money have stumbled and fell and we're going to go to minister healing that fallen brother were going have to be spiritual would have to have the right mindset in the right modems and the motive is what store but maybe overtaken authority which is spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself must also be tempted. I was trying to remember how Martin Luther said it should. What was your brother. This fall we will run up to him.

Thor arms running, hugging, embracing, kissing and loving letting know that we love him as a long-lost brother not pushing down condemning Troy to somebody that's backslidden well away from the Lord. Somehow somebody bridging the church why all the brother should go around and put their arm around bless God good to see in the house of God, praying for your brother. If you have let them know that you forget when you fall down the devil tells it, and they all know what they know you. Please go back to her. They know what they all ran you don't want to go back there. All they know all about you probably did the sermon topic, you probably been the last gossip on the phone and we need to let her know and reassure them that we love him, but for the grace of God that would be everyone of us so we were to confront those being spiritual and in the spirit of meekness world insurer brothers that we are sincere and want to restore him, forgive him regular healing towing getting back in the body on fire shot for God we been missing that measured the increase that you brought just like it might've been a singularly blessed us all. God get back in your get that anointing again maybe they had a good testimony. Maybe there was a good prayer warrior. Second Corinthians 2, seven and eight, now in the first Corinthians, and in the sixth chapter had a case in the church world. One of the members was having affair with his father's wife, that we don't know what it was his mother's stepmother, but either one was terrible and told them to discipline that may number.

They were all puffed up. The reposted were the only church discussed this case and the Paul said, you should morning should discipline them. Now they want from Posten. We got a special type of fornicator.

Now they want to the other and of not let me back in after he gets saved to the devil will try to get you this way, you see that I have that means between two extremes.

Try to get you to be so dogmatic that it's terrible. Or he'll try to get you to be so lenient that you let everything go menu try to get you so strict that you let nothing go so here they were finally obeyed. Paul censored the mayor being censored for his sin by the whole church. Now he wants to come back in narrower letting you know you got the picture so then the six sources of funds to such a man is this punishment which was inflicted of many was supposed be put out of the church evidently was put out of the church like you said, Solomon's air repented when the come back so now person so that contrary why you ought rather to forgive them.

The punishment was right. Should I did what you did put them out of the church to excommunicating now is repented and wants to come back and let's bring him back. That's not the unpardonable sin. But here's the only one portable shows blaspheming the Holy Ghost and the other sin to be forgiven and when the brother or sister that is offended into center the one or two blows it in here. You brought up of the church you didn't hear you excommunicating for the church and then finally he sees his role repents and wants to come back. Amen. The prodigal son that was lost. He was a Saudi job loss, restoring the older brother didn't like it.

By the same splendor them coming back so Paulson so contrariwise your brother to forgive him and comfort him less. Perhaps such awards should be swallowed with over much sorrow and then sinking will get an image for this and also did I write that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient all things to whom you forgive anything. I forgive. Also, for if I forgive anything to whom I forgave it for your sakes for gay buy it in the presence of Christ that Satan should get an advantage. He seemed to take those two verses out parentheses and read. Wherefore I beseech you that you should confirm your love towards him, lest Satan should get an advantage of us, for we are not ignorant of his devices so therefore will forgive them that were in the bed conditioning and synthesis.

This is sin. Sin, the God who big little sense to God for God's concern to do once. Are you guilty of the whole catalog so the forgiveness chorus satisfy an infinitive in the Greek it means to be friendly to be gracious time in order to comfort them by recalling size also an infinitive, it means to encourage and exhort birds all its use of leaders send hesitant soldiers courageously in the battle regarding coverage of give him a pep talk: they might be condemning yourself, you know, one of the hardest things. A lot of times it's gotta forgive people, but people a lot of times are harder on yourself and forgive yourself you need to go in Holcomb co-opted a field God, who hasn't failed because we've all failed God.

But that's what grace is all about the love of God is all about work on homework, growing in grace and knowledge.

I know in my earlier years, his pretties dogmatic boards were trying to temper me and show me it's not so much the dogmatic nests, but the get the person saved and healed and delivered bring that loving unity of the body so that he could use us to win souls confirm him Greek word roadside other infinitive means to legally confirm to ratify the church community. If the church has openly excommunicated somebody easy see that too much to what we we have seen it halfway televangelists, but if that person then repents than the church are openly likely, openly excommunicated should openly embrace him opening the whole church world bringing back your love and favor again said all right to reinstate the offender ensure him in their love and then another Scripture truth John 516 and 17 and this is really tremendous. You see, we are brother's keeper and we have power to either give our brother death or life. Did you know that you can either give your brother death or life. Let's read first John 516 and 17 is that if any man see his brother sin a sin which is not on the death. Now this is not suspicion.

This is actually called this brother in the sin and what should we do know. Like I said most people to get on the phone until everybody. The brother all about it when the Bible said that if a brother is overtaken in a fault that you want to go to him and him alone and that if he hears you. You gained your brother and that if you don't hear your take two or three witnesses that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word would be established and then they wouldn't hear that. Then filing a bring them up for the church like finally they had to bring that mailing from Scribners, the fifth chapter, committed to fornication and then they excommunicated him, but it worked because the excommunication because the man sees airily repented he was in store. So here Johnson. If you see a brother. Sin is sin is not on the death and I'll clarify the art not on the death of the Minutemen of the death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life is beautiful if you see your brother. Seven. You can give them life, you could go to the father and give them life which other words, God's will somehow answer your prayer and turn it brother around and bringing back in the salvation, if any man see his brother Simpson which is not a definitional asking shall give him life, then that's another that there is a similar them. I do not say that he should pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin in the risen sin on that. So what is a sin on the death that's placing the Holy Ghost. When you blessing the Holy Ghost and that sits in the spring.

All other sin except the blessing of the Holy Ghost to be forgiven. Therefore, if you see your brother that sin.

Sin of the deaf in here is talking about eternal death, when he sin is backslidden's out of the favorable Lord that he dies. That condition goes to hell when he can be redeemed somebody strings the Holy Ghost than there is no redemption there's no repentance factor not going to seek repentance because when you blessing the Holy Ghost has the last stages apostasy you deferred yourself over to the devil. I get letters from all around the world. Around the country people to a mouseclick of placing the Holy Ghost. I said no you didn't because you blessing the she would be sorry about would be all shook up, sets a willful act, and it's usually the last stages of apostasy in not wasting the Holy Ghost in error or make a mistake. It's a willful act be surprised how many letters I get across the country. People be implemented to think the committed the unpardonable sin and blessing the Holy Ghost course, we have ministered them the word of God shown the lives of Democrats.

If you blessing the Holy Ghost you would be sorry at all shook up to get attributes willful with the girl write your your reprobate your last stages of apostasy. Okay so we have power to give life. Instead of condemning our brother and sister to swallow. It will intercede and pray, then maybe gotta make us more the spiritual wants to go to them and God will allow us to minister life and that's what we want to do the minister life to our brother and sister because it is the flesh of Jesus is our flesh. It's the one body that were a part of, and we don't want the devil to get in the cage, get a foothold Emily CMM Peter, the fall of the spiteful perfect constriction, that's code Luke 2231 34 you know the setting don't you Jesus is getting ready to be crucified spelling are all beautifully course impetuous Peter is always saying the wrong thing at the wrong time and like a lot of us. Luke 2231 34 and the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan is desired to have you, that he may sift you was weak, but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not now are converted strengthened by brother and he said on the more I am ready to go with me both in the present and in the death and he did. Lord answered by accident.

He said I tell the Peter Cox micro this day before. Thou shall deny that thou that was me you said no I won't do it properly. Peter meant that I believe you really believe that he would know he was talking to Lori, he knows who the Lord is remortgaging fairly remote but a little wink.

The Lord knew Peter as a changing sign Simon being read read to be bent with any went to a changing from assignment after the baptism to a Peter know Peter is the stone chip off the rock changing from Reeves to be bent little may take in person backslide after the baptism of the Holy Ghost emitting what solid rock, just like Jesus. But let's really denial 54 first down to 60 then took a him and led him and brought him to the high priest house computer folder for all she had were careers and follow when they are given a Florida midst of the hall and were set down together. Peter sat down amongst them, as was his problem.

There he was amongst the world and the enemies of the Lord. Anyway, you know, when you sit down with the enemies you like to lie the board but I certainly beheld him as he sat by the fire and earnestly looked upon him and said this man was also with him Peter denied insane woman I know him not there for a little while. Mother Solomon said that our also of them and Peterson of the man I am not these already backslid peace at the bottom by mail that the space of one hour another confidentially affirm saying about truth this fall also was with them, for he is a Galilean Peterson man I know what they'll say this immediately when he spake the car crew and the Lord turned and looked upon Peter. Peter remember the words of the Lord set on him before the caulk proves that also, but on reflection, Peter went out bitterly.

Now what you think the Lord should do after he's resurrected here, Peter has denied three times and even cursed is when the other gospel said the woman said that your Galilean your speech for Tracy so I suppose in speech that he gave the speech he wanted it cursed. So what did the Lord do what would most of us there was somebody betrayed us across us, our life the way we be be really kindhearted with the width of the Lord. When Mary met Jesus in the garden reveal himself with that he tell her to do that.

I want to go to Galilee should go and tell Peter and the brethren iGoogle forum and I'll meet up. It was the only name he mentioned was he one of the Peter know that he did what all was forgotten when he wept bitterly. God had heard God had answered God had answered prayer. So what does God do God restores we can read that in John 21 famous persons were about fishing and then here's Jesus out there is the little foreigner said come and dine and they came and Jesus asked Peter three times, Simon son of Jonah, but was tell me read, noting:. Finally, read you really love me Peterson Lord down the list.

He said I restore you feed my sheep feed my lambs feedback sheet 18 verse really bury our sanity when Mel was young Valdis Curtis us often walk us whether that was when thou shall behold also stretch forth thy hand.

And another. So gird the car the weather that would a snob not going to fail to do it not going to fail me and course tradition said that's when we were told all the Christians in the Coliseum. Peter ran from Rome or the wrong all killed now is were the last apostles left and he's running in all the way the Lord stops and says famous saying quo vadis worker was that how much my sheep are being slaughtered in Rome. The leadership and I like to give my version of worker was found. Mother Salome cannot give you my version 2 Jesus said on the Simon Simons of Jerusalem was tell me Jesus use the word agape since love is down. That means, do you love me with a sacrificial love and Peter answered and said on the him Gaylord down the was I love the when here used by Leo by Leo we get a word following month and following the means to kiss Sophia. Leo really means to show to be friendly show love. So Peter is really saying yes Lord, I'll show you I love you.

Jesus said the only week shoe meets feed my lambs asked him again. You will agape me by the object of your affections.

Am I the one that you love a sacrificial love by Leo you I'll show you, Lord, feed my sheep's unit when you can show me Peterson. When Peter was running away while they were being fed to the lines in the Coliseum.

The Lord said to him, but was soundly Peter quo vadis worker was doubtless tell me Peter knew what he meant. I got a showing. Another took sanity back into the Coliseum Mayor turned all the lines loose all the Christians. All these young lambs. I guess a devilishly preaching to them were confused because you see they had never seen the Lord that in know about a computer was old now.

They didn't know where they look around and their shepherds: use a fairytale baby Jesus, is it really the son of God. Maybe he didn't rise from the dead.

Maybe the fakes invade or confuse the lines are common to be destroyed and steps to bid for shipment to the Coliseum.

Dr. hearing states that stand out from Jesus in a new frame for the new who comes in and they said yes there is a Savior. Yes, there's a Jesus, Peter was whipping. Peter knows Peter told us all about it.

He hasn't asserted us in Colorado. If Jesus wasn't really what else grab all of the soldiers grabbing they took him said so you're one of these Jesus followers and your one of these leaders are were going to just let you have the same thing with the crucified group to bid for from his heart. The more unique set am not worthy to die the way my war did so they said okay will crucify you upside down.

They crucified him upside down and put them on the main hill that led to Rome for all.

See that's where Peter wanted to be for all the sea and Jesus was saying out of heaven. Peter Roberts tell me several work show what you built for that hill he was showing that he will be in God's faith was vindicated in the forward brother. The brother that the my brother that Kirstein brother the turkeys back when in the back Coliseum strength of his little lambs of these little sheet was on that hillside and I'm sure we don't.

Lord, I can almost hear the Lord entrance and yesterday Peter hours showing me well thought out, good and faithful servant now is been faithful in the least battles over your journey is done can come home. That's what's going to be worth it all and I believe Jesus is saying to you and I love us tell me feed my sheep feed my lambs love my sheep of my lambs and marijuana come to the first thought in the brotherly love, brotherly love open the door to evangelism the body isn't increase when it is edified in love. Ephesians 416, when every measure, every individual joint brings forth its measure recordings ministers it to the rest of the body than the body makes an increase of itself added souls to the edifying of itself in love and we found out that the greatest church amongst the seven churches in Revelation was the church of Philadelphia revelations 378 these things saith he that is holy, he that is true you that has the key of David even open up the no man shut up and shut up. In no manner but I know thy works, behold, I set before the open door, and no man shall shut it church of Philadelphia at an open door open, belong to Jesus and an open door to evangelize the world.

How many CMM the word Philadelphia is a combination of two Greek words Helio which means affection, fondness for castanets and as a synonym of the Mema PHI L EMA if you want to write that down word study PHI L EMA for you will be mom and it means to kiss or to express love. So this was the church of expressing love and that love was to Adolfo's brother. They would a church that expressed love to the brother of the church of brotherly love and it was built in a strategic location of the boundaries of linear mycelia and freedom that it was built for the purpose of being a missionary church of the Greek culture to the people beyond its great highways that link it to your in the Eastern world and preach the other Philadelphia to be a missionary center evangelize, as it were world with the Grecian philosophy and Jesus took the church he really let them call it that God had in mind. It was good to be his church and that he was going to make it the church that he was going to use the same highways so the postal route number you that started the seven churches so that circuit of the postal route of the seven cities, and that was in the strategic place that he could go under all of Europe and Asia just was wide open placed the spread of any kind of gospel or philosophy or is it that you wanted Greek set it up to spread their philosophy used it to put brotherly merit love one another to spread the gospel in the wall of Asia and Europe so it was found to be a missionary church to take the gospel throughout the Roman province. It was located on the postal routes in the highways Asia minor Jesus challenge them. I set before you an open door and the door evangelism door was wide open for them. The cover the gospel all over the Roman Empire. We find out the day of this last statement, the door of evangelism is open to the church that has brother Lee love every church should have brotherly love and it then God has a door of evangelism open to like I've said many times if there's writing bickering, devouring one another, God is not going to bring in new lands.

In that atmosphere, let them be caught up in that and be destroyed because Paul said, if you bite and devour one or take heed that you be not consumed one another but wherever there is an atmosphere and an attitude of brotherly love and the owner of the evangelism and salvation his phone while we found that out as we been praying in the corporate prayer we been praying and loving one another and try to put this message in the action, God's move so I can move wonderfully over the weekend. The good people say that healed and delivered a door of evangelism is open I will cure who comes if the people have brotherly love the can have a revival even of the Lord Jesus Christ himself would come if there was not brotherly love. He couldn't have a revival that was demonstrated when what the nonsense how many CMM they love him they would accept them. They resented him in the Bible said that he could not do many wonderful works lately and sailed with you and healed was a miracle that Mr. to get a few healed. I know preach in evangelistic and going to different areas in America around the world and if there is disunity if there's some, trouble in the church. You can have a revival. First of all, if you got that type of ministry that God can use you outside of an evangelist that you had to minister the church and try to give them a loved one another. Got big ministering to correct them and if church is having problems the pastors be a little more. He can preach salvation.

These got a preach healing to get the body healed so they can get back in unity.

In one moment when the court and bring favorites because of increase, so that the body can increase itself beatified and built up in love. So the first love is love for the body, because if you don't love your brother and sister. We started in this part of the lesson, you don't love God, and you shall love the center.

Also, if you love your brother see you cannot love God whom you've not seen and the two greatest commandments of all the condensers of 613 the Jewish rabbis made out of the 10 Commandments are condensed in two love the Lord our God before our Lord by Manuel Viso will make it short, with five being everything that pertains the and love thy neighbor as thyself. And in the Old Testament the neighbor in the Jewish port in the Gospels. A neighbor was in the one of those that were Israelites saved in the family of God.

So you are to love your neighbor as yourself today, whether they were needed a rented Jesus once said no. Love your neighbor and also love your enemy making your neighbor so to Commandments is love all your whole being everything that pertains to you and love your brother as yourself. Now if we will love our brother as her softeners were not demanded of were not demanded and demonized when I could do any harm to, if you're not demonizing the manager not going to take a hatchet cut your fingers off you want to protect your body with which a strong portability of firms of the week you limited big media must storm to protect her delicate eyes and nose and mouth, whatever. That's a tall order to love God with everything we have everything we are all of our being and we got to love our neighbor as ourselves, not tell you we love our brothers and sisters as ourselves. We would have a love time. So tell your folks really love themselves. In other words, when you love your brother and sister as you love yourself mentally thing to them that you would do yourself and you would do everything to them that you would yourself. Love the key to the unity and amen. What an eye-opening Holy Spirit admonishing message by God's servant. Brother Hardy brotherly love.

The key to unity the book of acts is the birth certificate for the church, the body of Christ and its outstanding birthmark with unity again and again we read that the believers were in one mind and one accord in interesting fact about the book of acts is that the work, love is never used because you don't have to preach about love when everyone is walking in love. It's a different story when we get to the epistles of the apostles Paul said that if anyone be in Christ he is a new creature, old things are passed away in all things are become new.

And he said this includes a new wardrobe. He described these new clothes as mercies, kindness, humility and meekness, long-suffering, and above all, the perfect bond of love as the church multiplied and spread throughout the Roman empire, there arose factions and worldly influences crept in.

Christians were shielding outright sin in the church. Others were going to court to sue other believers in front of unbelievers, all of which the Holy Spirit condemned the church faced falling and failing brethren. And as Jesus said it is impossible, but that offenses will come.

And James said that we all offended some time. So how does the church deal with offenders and attendees. There is the Bible way to deal with these issues and the emphasis is on restoration, not amputation. Only one church out of the seven in Revelation had an open door of the evangelism given to them by Jesus.
