Welcome to the Teaching Ministry of Jubilee Church International. Jubilee is devoted to making disciples, winning the loss to Christ, building strong families, and taking the Gospel to the nations. Open your Bibles and join us as the presence of the Holy Spirit helps us to grow a little deeper.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:27)
Amen, y'all ready to get in the word this morning?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:31)
Let me get my Bible over here.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:34)
Hallelujah. Well, this is going to be the last in this series. We've been in this series, Reflections in the Mirror. This is the last in our series on Reflections in the Mirror. Today, I'm gonna talk about living in his holiness.

**Marvin** (0:59)
Living in the holiness of the Lord. It's interesting that I don't think the... I think the only person who knew what my title was this morning was John. He prepared the slides and Jesus.
And Angie, because I went over my message. I always go over my message with Angie.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:20)
Amen.

**Marvin** (1:24)
But it's interesting how the Holy Spirit has orchestrated this morning.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:29)
I love how He does that.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:34)
Calling us closer to Him.

**SPEAKER_9** (1:39)
Calling us to be more intimate with Him.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:42)
That's His desire.

**Woody** (1:44)
That's always been God's desire, is an intimate communion with you, His people, His bride.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:53)
Amen.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:55)
In this series, we've been talking about, again, the Reflections in the Mirror. And the concept is to challenge us to personally assess our lives in how we are living.

**Woody** (2:13)
How are you living?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:18)
Have you ever just sat and just contemplated how you're living? How are you living compared to this word? Because when you stand before God, come here, Pastor Woody, if you just stand up with me, he's not going to say, well, that's a nice jacket, and those are nice shoes, and man, your beards trim nicely. Yeah, he's not going to just puff you up, right?

**SPEAKER_9** (2:53)
He's going to say, do you look like this?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:58)
Do you look like this, this word?

**Woody** (3:03)
What do you mean, do I look like that book?

**SPEAKER_4** (3:05)
That's a nice Bible cover you got, except it doesn't have a fish on it, Pastor.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:11)
Shame, if you'd be more holy if it had a fish on it.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:14)
No, he's going to look in this word and say, did you love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength?

**SPEAKER_9** (3:22)
Did you love your neighbor as yourself?

**SPEAKER_4** (3:25)
Did you lean not to your own understanding in all your ways, acknowledge him?

**Woody** (3:30)
Did you let my truth be written upon your heart, and my words be upon your mouth?

**SPEAKER_4** (3:37)
Did you guard your ears and your eyes?

**Woody** (3:39)
Did you let no unholy thing be set before your temple?

**SPEAKER_4** (3:44)
Was there unforgiveness in your heart?

**SPEAKER_9** (3:49)
He's going to see if you look like this. Thank you.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:53)
Amen. That's it.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:58)
And you can sit there and try to come up with every excuse that you've given your pastor, yourself, anyone else.

**Marvin** (4:15)
My nephew come to pick up some material the other day. I had just a little bit of maybe 200 square feet of laminate left.

**SPEAKER_8** (4:33)
And I gave it to him.

**Marvin** (4:37)
He's in need of it, and as he was loading it, I was helping him load it, and he says to me, man, my girl is going to love this.

**SPEAKER_9** (4:53)
I said, your girl? I said, you ain't married her yet?

**SPEAKER_2** (5:01)
Well, I said, son, let me just tell you the truth.

**SPEAKER_4** (5:06)
The truth is hard, but hell is hot.

**Woody** (5:14)
Truth is, son, you're living in sin, and that's gonna send you to hell, and it's gonna separate you from God and his favor and his blessings and his promises and everything else.

**Marvin** (5:24)
Son, y'all need to repent, and you need to reconcile with God, and you need to get that right.

**Woody** (5:31)
He said, well, Uncle Marv, I'm just afraid of bending that knee and making that vow.

**SPEAKER_3** (5:41)
I said, son, you need to fear God.

**SPEAKER_11** (5:47)
That's what you need to fear.

**Woody** (5:50)
And you know how many people refuse to bend the knee and make that vow to God because they do not fear God?

**SPEAKER_4** (6:00)
See, you might have heard when I said that, when I said, son, you need to fear God. Oh, he needs to tremble in there.

**Woody** (6:05)
What I'm saying is, you need to recognize who he is.
