Greetings friends and new listeners. Welcome to the Archie Harding ministries program. I'm sure 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 every one 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 that we have been sold to a position of framework for the brother, then we want to watch the reportage of love one another with a pure heart. One thing though crypto's that means without hypothesis a lot of people going sham of the water bed for a long trip in the Bible. Frame love Judas.

So what would Jesus like it almost seems things to come up Jesus, I love you. I remember watching my own experience when I was just a young Christian person, my last one a day.

And I mean they threatened me and every other all they really just let me and acted like you were double when I come to church that night they were at the door and when I came in just a few hypocrite frame love we are to have on frame about high proxy. True love.

If we don't have love something to pray about fervently. No Taino cut.

No sale lately, but, as it were streaming while illustrating the love your brother and sister thunder God's work. So many scriptures in the Bible about loving your brother did you we just got started to love brings the vision and sin that's really understandable is Galatians 5 1214 but while all serve one another. Most people want to be served but remember when the disciples came to Jesus and some more was going to be the greatest should he that would be the greatest B servant, even as I came not to be ministered to but to minister to and give my life a ransom for Maddie so by law, serve one another for all 31 were given this that you love our neighbor as thyself. But if you bite and devour one another, here they were to talk about your brother and sister in Christ, but if you bite and devour one another to keep that you be not consumed one another. That's what the devil likes to do Mexican woman swore another hatchet and they say second wall once hit one of the hatchet once retaliate with the sword is after goblin up our lost loved ones. Now every city has a demonic spirit that rules six to rule with the rules of darkness.

Paul said in Ephesians 6, chapter ULI is the church collect we are in a wrestling match not with humanity.

Flesh and blood, not with the human foe. They're just ponds in the hands of the evil power of Satan behind the seat but well wrestling principalities and powers in the course of the darkness of this world and wicked spirits in the heavenly high places and what is trying to get us to do is put brother against brother, sister against sister so that we cannot join forces and overpower and personnel help before we can have a revival in the city every time when I would go God would tell me to go to a city put up a tent in auditorium and that God would show me the willing demon that rolled in control that cities need to have an outpouring of the Spirit have revival. We had to defeat that spirit, we had a Rasul and make him see Jesus.

We had to wrestle him because we wrestle not against flesh and blood without Rossiter's arrest were Russell what the putting down for the count. I'm going to be a 30 ration spirit, I'm putting down 123 up out the putting out of the whole lesson business up to end his career, knowing that in the natural they got wrestlers that are bad guys and they are out trying to put all the rest was a member career when I'm in the spiritual wrestling match and I'm at the end the demons career.

I want to end his career to Scott Baltimore city. I want to end his career. I wanted getting there that I will break his legs and break his arms and punch his teeth out and britches hold so that he cannot keep his wits, especially this violent spirit that's got our city bird on all these young people ordering these drug Lord we got a Rasul and bring them under sink spray uncles were cinders. God's grace much more abound when God's people in unity and one mother working loving one another than they could director unified corporate prayer against sinking and binding and pulled out his strongholds and the devil knows that but instead he tries to get us separated hatchet with a sword fight one another that he has free reign to impede see the devil tries to get sidetracked from the real issue by looking at the condition of America in the world. I'm afraid of a lot of Christians are sidetracked because the devil is seemingly have an unimpeded rain and freedom to do what he wants is a devil's motivation and desire, and his ambition that he puts everything into Jesus calling the wealthy become a map of steel to kill and to destroy. And when the body of Christ is not in unity. Could you see, the only force that's on the face of the earth that could defeat the devil is the church. The church is God's vehicle to defeat the devil and to liberate souls from the devil's kingdom and his clutches. If the only angels are not going to come back to do it.

The only thing we'll do it is the church Jesus body. He's the head. In heaven, but it's just body down here that's going to do for the devil and the devil is working tooth and nail to keep brethren separated and I said it several times over the course of this teaching that God is showing me the church needs a new baptism of love and when we get this new baptism of love and walking the slope and you will find that the gifts of the power is going to automatically operate.

Therefore, we ought to endeavor to keep the unity of the spirit bond of peace. Then Galatians 512, 14, and by law we will serve one another will be one of other servants also filling one word, even this that you shall love your neighbor as thyself.

If you bite and devour one another to keep that you be not consumed one another. Emily CMM will God give me that love that I can serve my brother and my sister because I realize she will flesh your bone is your vehicle to go to use fixated and when sold James 289 is along the same lines up to fulfill the royal law. We only have two commandments God condensed 613 commandments that the rabbis talk out of the 10 Commandments and he convinced them down into two of the Lord our God with everything your soul your mind be in your neighbor as your self that that's a tall order. If we don't love our neighbor as ourselves. Whatever we would do for ourselves. We will do for our brother and sister. What we wouldn't do to ourselves. We don't do to our brother and sister Emily CMM factory dissent all things whatsoever you were disarming to do unto you. Do you also wonder, therefore, that is, the whole prophets you know somebody told me once upon a hoary only play when I see the need, and I see a lot of E3 break not told the brothers about looking up there at the condition of the world and the condition of our city. Even the condition of our own but once in my family.

I see the need to pray if you don't see the need to pray you need prayer did Alana pray for you first so we don't see the need to love our brother and sister. We need to get in the line and hit the altar get a new dip and come up out of that baptism for new attitude in the spirit of love October going into the next point to love the brethren is to love God, you know people say I love God, but I don't love so-and-so. No no no no no you can't do that don't work along the body is to love Jesus because body is Jesus that right. Let's go to first John 310 start at 310 and 18 to connivers first John 319. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin, receive remain within him and he cannot sin, because he is born of God when it's a powerful Scripture is to say a few words from here to view this word of God is convincing the neck with word means make sin is lifestyle and so you might not stumble. Make statements well but you do not habitually sin and the reason why is because you see the world remains keeps you britches leads God's strength to any connection because he is born of God when you're born of God you cannot live a habitual life of sin can't do it live in the book but selection of one of God you got one of the devil. Again in this the children of God are manifest in the children of the devil's work does not do is not righteousness is not of God. Neither is he that lobo not is brother for this is the message that you heard from the getting that you should love one another, not skating, who was of the wicked one, and slew his brother more thoroughly slew him because his own works were evil and his brothers were righteous. What about my brother.

If the world hates you.

We know that we have passed from death on the life because we love the brethren. You let him about his brother about a thin depths of money said to be. You never know that your chaise to get to heaven. Yeah I know I'm say if I love the brother and I know I have passed from death to life. Emily CMM if I mother my brother. I know that I am say and when Jesus comes on meeting in the air. If we don't have a brother that we abide in death were still on regenerated soirée.

This brother is a murderer.

What a strong word, I heard something said to me talk about flaws in the character.

I believe you.

We have falls in her character God's goodness to make us mature that sanctification and were talking about. But the good that they would do the good knots.

Of course I think my brother and I thought mama Lord you hate your brother, you don't have a flaw in your character, your brother, me, how can you hate your brother and say that your say or search or a murderer should spiritually or murder you would do it naturally because you would murder your brother naturally to good get away with a cane hated Abel what did he do not approach why should never let hate get into you on the descending scale of the opposites of the fruit of the spirit is what hey, that's when you hit the bottom.

Let hate getting you your blood murder coming to you. It's a descending scale are sending scale up to love opposite of love is what hey and when you can hate your heart, you have a murderer spirit hereby perceive we the love of God because he believed that his life for us will listen to this and we want to lay down our lives for the brethren. I mean, that's a strong-willed resident but whosoever hath this world's goods and see his brother have need, and shut up up his bowels of compassion from him, how the love of God in him eating first model children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue, but in deed and truth.

Let us love and actions, words don't mean anything if it's not backed up by action. Emily saved them October going into the next point.

Variable of the brother will bring combination and result in unanswered prayer and were at first John 319. Fatima read verse 18 again because it's continuing to keep the continuity aching model children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue, but in deed and improve and hereby we know that we are in the truth. How do we know where the truth is, hereby we know where the truth that we love them talking word but in deed and truth. That's how we know where the truth if we love and even true if we love and true actions that we know were in the truth and show offshore hearts before him, God the father hearts condemn us, God is greater in her heart know what all things we got combination because we got all against her brother, and surely God knows all about it were not in the truth before heart condemns is not that we have confidence toward God.

The only way we can pray the prayer of faith is to have a heart doesn't condemn us in the way that we have a heart doesn't condemn us is because that were walking in the truth and loving our brother in deed and in truth and whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do those things which are pleasing in his sight. We know that we are in the truth because we love the brethren indeed improve if we do not love our brother.

We are under combination in our hearts condemn us, we cannot have 234 of our heart condemn us, God is greater than a large knows all things heart condemns not we have confidence that God will answer our prayer. Let's read that 23rd verse of this is his commandment that we should believe on the name of the son, Jesus Christ, and love one another as he gave us commandments and he that keep with his commandments forth in him and he and him. And hereby we know that he abides in us by the spirit which is given us so what is his commandments believe on the Lord Jesus Christ love our brother in deed and in truth than there is no, then they should in a heart therefore whatsoever we ask God he hears us, because we keep his commandments. It's all in the context of love in our brother commandment was about God and our brother and was we love our brother and we can get down and pray is nothing in there to bring combination with the right relationship with God. God hears us jobs is another place.

If we knows that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, know we have the petitions that we desire of him. Okay, let's go to first Peter three starting at the eight verse people says finally be all of one mind, having compassion, one of another, love as brother and be pitiful, be courteous not rendering evil for evil or railing for railing, but contrariwise blessing that you are there to call that you should receive an inheritance. He that will love life and see good days when he refurbished him from evil and his lips that they speak no guile that he missed you evil and do good and seek peace and suet for the eyes of the Lord, all the righteous and his ears open to their prayers with the face of the Lord is against them that do evil Emily CMM as we love the brotherhood and unity, compassion, courteous as we don't render evil for evil or railing for railing delegate is back in a shouting match. He says evil against me and RC evil back that the stops the flow of God's Spirit club. Rather, we want to bless them that we might receive a blessing verse nine. Neither render evil for evil or railing for railing, but contrariwise blessing knowing that you are there or to call that you should inherit a blessing preferred to inherit a blessing that we can rail back speak.

He will back we got a blessed of Jesus and in the Gospels bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you, that's what you got the victory. Somebody pushes you and you say Lord bless just blossom and get down and pray that I mean the devil turns green, purple, colors says I've missed it by seductive them that way. Reframe your tongue from evil… And speaking doll that will try to get you talk evil against her brother why he that would love life and see good days when he referred his tongue from evil slips that they speak no guile letting this chew evil and do good that were disturbing to run away from it. Letting seek peace and ensue for the eyes of the Lord upon the righteous and his ears open to their prayers with the face of orders against the wicked is against them that do evil eyes of the Lord only hear those that are walking in truth walking in love, love, and their brother. Okay section C will want to come to the port scriptural commands concerning a brother that has offended you, you know a lot of people Agatha brother without a cause, but now here is a case that a brother stand. I gotcha. Living they been waiting for him to offend him and I get on the phone same. I, we been waiting a long time have a way to get this one, he's done something against me were you know what happened. We been tricked by the devil. Heavenly. Let's go to Matthew the 18th chapter and Jesus is telling us how to deal with a brother that is offended to Matthew the 18th chapter in the 15 verse. Jesus had more with our brother shall trespass against the go to tell him his fault between the and him alone if he shall hear the bell has gained my brother a whole lot of what they do this like I said get on the phone and spread it through the whole church.

You know what happens when you do that you are the one in sin you're in fall, you're in trouble. You have disobeyed the Lord. This is the direct word of Jesus brothers offended check is in the wall got have the mindset of what my brother is what the flesh and bone of Jesus of sickness has entered into the flesh and bone of Jesus. My brother, I got to try to minister healing to him because if I do not minister healing to him, then he might have to be amputated from me as a member of the body of Jesus and the member of me because we are about of flesh of Jesus, which is bone and flesh.

And we, individually, or bone and flesh were members one of another. Now when you dictate something from your body.

You feel it if the Lord has to ever take somebody out of the body. All the healed and well. People suffer that amputation. So therefore, our mindset is to go and render healing tool. Let's get this disease out of our brother. He's done something wrong, I'm not going to get it blasted all over the place.

If he gets back and all the people looking at a go to get the victory over the people again that's got nothing to do with the rest we are to minister healing to our brother. Jesus said if his son something to use trespass against it is in the wrongs that all know a lot of people got suspicion that the get the suspicion and they think some iced on some of the wrongdoing right away on the phone. You know what the brother and sister. So did this to me. I mean the really terrible. We see that the Devils got us what bite and devour one another, careful brother does Roma try to getting healed because if I cannot getting healed, Imitating when I'm going to suffer this likable to suffer if I ever take my thumb dipped in the body is been rendered disease and one respond in the body is bless her for more with our brother shall trespass against a goat and tell him his fault between thee and him alone if he shall hear the asking by brother lot at times like I say we destroy the brothers that again by telling everybody not doing the Lord's procedure and when we do that, that we are guilty of destroying the Lord's body and God's will judge us remember and prescript this 11th chapter talking about the communion and it said that interchurch lot of times questions people say to us with healings of the atonement Lord Shealy belongs to loss of the covenant contract that God is made us the cognitive atonement healing as part of the benefits where there Christian sect. One of the reasons why Christians are sick is because they do not discern the Lord's body so they didn't serve the Lord's body.

Many are weak, many are sickly and many sleep or die had a time and one of the reasons is that they did discern that the brother and sister is the Lord's body and when we destroy our brother and sister.

We are not resorting to restore the Lord's body and when we do that, God judges us and brings us in the judgment chastises us that we will be condemned with the world family or brothers. No longer was go to him and him alone try to minister healing the affair.

Upon administer therapeutics healing tool, but they continue to do it. 60 verse liberty for not hear the then take with thee one or two more witnesses that in the mouse up to three witnesses every word should be established if the thing is terrible enough that he won't respond and go would get one or two more witnesses then if he shall neglect 70 verse to hear the then Tele under the church that you bring it under the church, but if he neglects to hear the church within the under the us of a heathen, that's a publican. The main idea of the is Jesus preaching to try to minister healing to our brother and sister, don't get caught in the trap Devils calls them "the trap, the done wrong. Now he's going to try to get you in the trap by not forgiven and run around are getting on the phone talking against her brother and sister to also make a right that is the Scriptural Way, Luke 17, three and four, Jesus says, Peter.

I think it was a came to him and said, Lord, have anytime soon so we forgive our brother 7×11 exact complete absolute. Jesus said no.

70×7 sets 490 times a day. Take five minutes between each offended you, and asking forgiveness in your forgiven than the heavenly times can you get borderline run out of minutes, so he really met every time your brother offends you, and comes back and answer Gibbons you do what you forgiving obscene people, people would walk on water so and asked him, forgive them, they would forgive more than their hot potatoes in their hands. That person is the liver there so and that the seller for such a trouble. So he's going to have to pray for them.

So our main mindset motivators affect healing the Devils got it Jesus, God, in its covering the body of Christ. It's stopping it from being in one minor one accord in unity at stopping it from increasing of law because how do we increase about Ephesians 416 are the measure of every joint to bring forth the much of this increase causes the body to increase itself and will be solidified.

One by one accord in the Devils Chana Rob unity ticket measure away stop them. People from BMC so we gotta be alert and on guard and have the mindset that were going to render healing to our brother and sister were going to bless them that curse us to pray for that they despitefully use us to take the heart in one place in Corinthians, I believe it was the six chapter Paul was writing against all the ills that was in the church and all shortcomings in all of things. It was stop of even though they had the great revelations. Every gift was in the place they had the full knowledge of the son of God. They were getting souls saved because it will all these things come in and separate them in one ones that brother was going against brother the court unheard-of thing and that before the unbeliever, brother and sister does not have a Bible like to go to court for the unbeliever, even if they sold something, even if they go to heaven something Paul said to keep the unity of the faith to keep her from the eyes of the world rather suffer the loss that the cause of Christ will not be hurt bought a black mark upon him, and he saved them just suffer the role instead of taking brother against brother and sister again sister. And if they're going to respond then if you suffer the Lord and God will have something convict them with get a hold of your praying in the go see the error in her slip. God may turn them around. Restore the brother you want to restore nobly our see everybody that God saves Stacy and stay in love. I don't see the devil we get one of them is if he gets one that's a victory for the devil and our and our mother was no victory for the devil.

We must also ask forgiveness for those against whom we have trespass at the lowliness of mind that kills your pride.

I believe the hardest thing for person to do is the go to ask so minor. Forgive me. You got have a hold on the love of God, your heart a lot of husbands and wives could patch up a monitor quarrels.

One would go would ask for forgiveness if it's the man it's awful tough on him is my true nature. What is it gets going to ask forgiveness but Jesus taught us that if we go to pray for go to do anything. We got on against her brother not doing.

We pray, we got autographs of what was going to happen. I could hear was Matthew five 2324 therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remembers that my brother has on against the leave there thy gift before the altar go thy way.

First be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift was if we know, forgive our brother in the Lord's prayer. Matthew the sixth chapter, the Lord's prayer, such forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors.

If we don't forgive our brother and sister.

I believe the Lord gave a parable along that line you said that the king or the rich man had a servant that owed him an astronomical amount of money just to configure $1 million in the servant, big mercy and compassion and so just give me time, have patience with me to be Tylenol pay that debt, and his master. It was moved with compassion. He did what freely forgiving of $1 million is notable and he left that scene and one out and found somebody that owed him a penny that's with the numbers. That's what Jesus is saying nothing practically nothing and the man they deem like he had paid because he owed a million and he was hardhearted and he didn't any of the jailers.

They took him to the debtors prison and threw him in jail.

What happened said that one of the servants of the rich man saw that and went back and told the rich made it forgive them $1 million and call me when he said, thou evil servant offer gave you $1 million.

I just freely forgiven and you didn't have enough love and compassion and forgiveness brother. Apparently what happened to remember the jail.

So that's what Jesus is saying if we don't forgive that God can forgive us and another thing in the Lord's prayer limit can never pray the Lord's prayer say I wrote it says give us this day. Loss us. That's another reason why a lot of people get the prayers answered side, I startle us us. You see, because we all by us. We are one. When you pray for your brother, your praying for yourself.

All right mark on the same lines 1125 and 26 now I want to go to that I want to get the setting you just read it at 25, 26, you will get the setting, but let's go to Mark the 11th chapter starts at the 22nd Jesus answering saith on in and have faith in God.

Verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be the removal without kissing the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he sale 24 verse therefore assume you things will be bizarre when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them that there are some of the light most favorite scriptures on receiving from God with context of sin. Now read the next verse read the 25th verse and when you stand praying, forgive, if you have on against any that your father also which is in heaven may forgive you for your trespasses. If you do not forgive, neither will your father which is in heaven forgive you of your trespasses. So what did she tell you that to me till June 24 first to pray 25th verse he says while your praying.

Remember 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 set it in.

If you got things in your heart you can act like you receive them.

You can have absolute faith and say, as it were the mountains things in your life be removed without kissing 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 given.

How can you hear Mark and Deborah thought we have confidence with God from Alaska. He hears us and gives us because we keep his commandments and amen.

What an eye-opening Holy Spirit admonishing message by God 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 in 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 and 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. Philadelphia the church of brotherly love.
