this program is brought to you in part
by the partners and Friends of Klo
Dollar
Ministries coming up next on changing
your
world when you condemn people’s sin
apart from God’s work of Grace apart
from God’s work of Mercy it leaves a
feeling of self-righteousness a holier
than thou attitude in those people who
feel like they’re
reformed that always amazes me how
somebody can take the time
to really condemn somebody else’s
stuff when they
stuff are y’all listening to me they’re
condemning somebody else’s stuff when
their stuff is not really
together can I get a
witness and we got to stop doing
that your story is just beginning the
2024 change experience tour is where you
need to be meet crlo Dollar on Friday
April 26th at the Centennial Memorial
temple in New York New York to be
renewed by the word and reminded that

vow to make it a better
place let every heart than me to
know you love is here to
St it’s time we live a new
life let us love sh ring
you we sa by his grace so we Embrace
Your Love
today we are change
under grace God first reminds us of what
he has done in
Grace and then on the basis of
that he he he appeals for a life of of
godliness with that in mind in other
words
God God has this work of
Grace he reminds of of his grace and he
reminds us of his Mercy
and then he makes an appeal for us to
live
Godly but not without us understanding
his work of
Grace let let let me show you the the
phrase that God gave me to to to pull
all this together it may help you I
wrote it down I was so excited about it
I signed my name just in case I leave it
back in hundreds of years later so
nobody else w’t have to struggle with
what I’m getting ready to to preach and
it’s no longer struggle but here’s what
he said God will will not make an appeal
when I when I use the word appeal he
won’t appeal to you to to say all right
you need to live Godly or or or all
right you need to present your body uh
as a Living Sacrifice holy and
acceptable unto God all right you need
to treat everybody that that’s what I
refer to as an appeal so I I’m going to
use the word appeal this morning the
appeals that God
make he appeals to you to live holy
appeals to you to do right appeals to
you to do that but but he he never
appeals to you here’s what he says God
will not make an appeal without first
providing mercy and Grace for our
failures oh boy so so what what he what
he means there is I’m not asking you to
live right until I first of all have a
work of mercy and
Grace for when you don’t live right that
day so now all of a sudden you’re not
too afraid to accept that appeal
because the threat of me not being able
to do it has been taken away because he
said before I ask you to live
Godly notice my mercy and Grace is at
every beginning of every appeal that I
have asked
you so I went and checked that out I
said oh yeah and I started seeing it I
saw how we skip we skipped the mercy and
Grace part and went straight to the
appeal live Godly but God says no no no
no I won’t ever request for you to do
anything without first of all
recognizing my work of Grace in being
able to ask you to live this way so
don’t be afraid that you can’t live this
way because I’ve already worked this
thing out for your bad days
[Applause]
amen praise God now thank you Lord yeah
I know I know I got my hand I got my
handkerchief here a ain’t time we going
to cry in a minute baby I got I got one
for
you I now watch this now but man’s ways
are not God’s
ways in general man clings to the idea
that benefits always come because of
Good Conduct and man’s ways are that
losses come because of bad
conduct so man’s ways are all right
these good things showed up because we
did something
good uh this bad thing showed up cuz we
did something bad that’s man’s way
losses and rewards based on our conduct
with no consideration of the grace and
mercy that has been put in this
place natural man always feels that he
must contribute something to earn God’s
favor that’s what church has been like
for some of you for the last 10 20 30
years natural
man natural man saying and based on
church and based on pull pit and based
on sermons natural man says I’ve got to
contribute something in order to get
God’s
favor and if I don’t contribute
something I can’t get God’s
favor in in in the pull pits of the
world this is what you have to
contribute to get God’s favor but you
have to understand you did not
contribute anything at the beginning of
God’s favor God’s favor was God’s idea
not mine not
yours
[Applause]
Hallelujah think about this think about
always thinking I’ve got to contribute
something I got to think it it’s it’s it
so contradicts everything if you have to
contribute something to get God’s favor
it’s not
favor how is it favor if you had
something to do with getting it that’s
right it’s
not I I contributed
nothing to get born again except I
believed I believed his way
a lot of gifts that you’re walking in
now you keep trying to find where your
contribution made this happen that’s
right that is not God’s way
amen it’s man’s
way God’s method under grace is seen in
Jesus dealing with that woman taken in
adultery let’s look at that John chapter
8: 3-1
and the scribes and Pharisees brought
unto him a
woman
taken in
adultery I mean in the very Act of
adultery they bought the woman sheets
and
all ain’t no we think she in
adultery and when they had set her in
the
midst they say un to him Jesus
Master this woman was taken in adultery
in the very
act now cuz they trying to they’re
trying to trick Jesus because Jesus is
supposed to be there fulfilling the
law and according to the
law this should be This Woman’s last day
now Moses in the law commanded us that
such should be stoned
but what do you
say they’re trying to trip Jesus up
watching this is why he my
king this they said tempting him that
they might have to accuse
him but Jesus stooped down and with his
finger wrote on the
ground as though he heard them not he
was igging them you understand what I’m
saying
I ain’t got time for this Tom
Foolery so when they continued asking
him he lifted up himself and said unto
them okay and I like this cuz he can’t
go against the law because he had come
to deliver people from the law and he
couldn’t deliver them from the law
unless he operated and fulfilled all the
law so what do you
say so he didn’t say don’t Stone her
here’s what he
said he lifted up himself and said unto
him he that is without sin among
you let him first cast a stone at
her and he again stooped down and rode
on the
ground somebody said do you know what he
was writing no I don’t know what he was
writing and you don’t either so get
don’t get up and get a preach don’t get
up preach a sermon talking about well
Jesus was writing you know the day that
he would now you don’t know he was he
might have been
doodling cuz that’s what you do when
people talking T Foolery you just
like he says all right fine I’m not
telling you not to Stone her here’s all
I’m saying anybody any any one of you
who don’t have sin in your life go
ahead and the Bible says the older
people left first because they knew they
had a whole bunch going
on the older people just got on out of
they like man let me let me
goone the younger people thought they
had hope but they eventually left
too and they which had heard it being
convicted by their own conscience they
went out one by one beginning at the
eldest even until the
last and Jesus left her
alone and the woman standing in his
midst when Jesus had left lifted up
himself and saw none but the
woman he said unto her
woman where are those thine
accusers had no man condemned
thee she
said no man
Lord Jesus said unto her watch this
neither do I condemn thee this sin of
adultery will not condemn
you what you did deserved death and
condemnation you should have been
condemned to death because you broke the
law and the law said you should be
condemned to
death but in a sense he said but Mercy
has come before you today
Jesus full of grace and
truth and I forgive
you now take this mercy and this
grace that you’ve received
today and go and sin no more because
Grace has come unto
you now it’s
possible for her to actually
walk without sinning and doing this
again because before there was no mercy
and Grace there was just the threat of
death and people telling you you’re
going to hell for this and you’re going
to hell for that but now I see Mercy I
see grace I see
Jesus I see that I can do what I didn’t
think I was able to do before because
his way showed up and he reversed first
what was supposed to happen under the
law
huh and that’s same thing going on
today we still trying to send folks to
hell when we catch them and stuff but
when Jesus asks you to live a Godly life
he will never do so without first of all
making sure that there’s an act of grace
and mercy available for your bad day
am all right let’s go through this Jesus
first freely forgave her of sin for
which under the law she was worthy of
death then secondly he admonished her to
live a life free from sin and it’s
important to recognize that under the
law God’s order was reversed under the
law God promised blessings only on the
conditions of obedience
and he threatened
curse if every part of it was not
fulfilled Deuteronomy 28 1-2 I’ll bless
you uh you know if you obey I’ll bless
you and then in verse 15 of Deuteronomy
he says I’ll curse you if you
don’t that was the law of Mercy that was
a that was Grace showing up see for
every Christian that’s still trying to
live by the law why did Jesus reverse it
here amen amen
huh why did he reverse
it why did this woman walk
away and Jesus said I don’t condemn you
and you remember scripture he says I
didn’t come to condemn the world but
that the world through me through grace
through Mercy might be
saved so it is imperative that God’s
orders under
grace that those orders are not confused
with that the orders of the law and and
to be honest with you it it is often
confused we live this Christian
Life confusing the orders under grace
with the orders under the
law and the problem with
that is you you have to be careful
because self-righteousness is trying to
get in a holier than thy attitude tries
to get in somehow if you think you’re
able to keep doing that with people
you’re kind of saying that you ain’t got
no problems nowhere and the next thing
we look next thing you know you going to
look around and we got we got a holy
Police Department developing in the
church as God’s basis of mercy and Grace
his works of Grace for an appeal are are
disregarded the the service that follows
is often done in dependence upon self if
you disregard the mercy and the grace
and the works of Grace and then God
tells you to live Godly then what
happens is if you disregard this Grace
you’re going to often end up doing
things depending upon yourself instead
of depending upon him and that’s what’s
happened in church we disregard the work
of Grace we disregard the mercy of God
and so we look at the appeal live Godly
and so what are we going to do we we’re
saying I I I not got to do I got to
depend on myself to be able to do that I
got to discipline myself to be able to
do that I got to work hard to be able to
do that and what God is saying I I don’t
want you to do it like that I want you
oh to be so into my unrestricted love
for you that you find yourself doing it
not out of Duty and responsibility but
as a response to the love that I have to
you that I I I don’t want you to do it
because you think it’s your duty I want
you to do it because you’ve been blown
away by his unrestricted unrestrained
love that he loves you enough not to
condemn you and you say I got to be I
got to do this not cuz I want to because
I’ve never encountered nobody like
this I want to live right I want to live
Godly I want to say no to that and no to
this not because of of the consequences
of Hell or condemnation or shame but I
want to do it because he loved me so
much he wouldn’t dare make an appeal
without first of all showing me there’s
mercy and there’s Grace and I won’t
condemn you but I’ll get you to want to
do it because you want to do it because
you’ve encountered my
love that’s why I had to wear tennis
shoes this
morning cuz you can’t tell me I’m going
to go to hell because you’re a preacher
dressing the way you
dress but I can dress this way because
there’s mercy and Grace for the way I
dress
amen
amen when the appeal is based on God’s
work of
Grace the resultant conduct will be in
dependence upon him and for his glory so
when I when God ask me to live Godly
okay I’m depending on
you I need you to do
this you your appeal is for me to
present my body as a Living Sacrifice
all right so you know I’m going to need
your mercy in your
grace to be able to do
this the eloquence and the persuasive
powers of a speaker or the enthusiasm of
an occasion may move something people to
action but it will probably be lacking
depth and it probably won’t be centered
on God motivational speak is what I’m
saying that yeah it’ll move you to
action for a minute I’m motivated my
emotions are high you can do it we can
do it we can do it and I’m not against
motivation but it if it if it’s not
dependent on God it has an
expiration that just one day you’re
going to wake up and you don’t feel
motivated but under God’s way I can wake
up every morning knowing his grace and
his Mercy is from Everlasting to
Everlasting From Grace to Grace and when
you have a bad
day you don’t stay stuck on your evil
day your bad day you realize it’s a
journey and you realize you have mercy
and race and you simply get up wipe
yourself off and keep going on the
journey sometimes what it took you five
M five minutes to commit it takes you 20
years to get
over the children of Israel their
actual Journey time from them getting to
where there was was about 11 days or so
supposedly and it went from 11 days
to 40 40 something years
that’s basically what we got
here we got a few times under grace that
we can get something done and we’re
taking 40 years to do something that
should take about a day or two to
do because we’re depending on us and not
on
him God’s appeal for Godly conduct are
valid only when it’s based on his works
of Grace and his works of
Christ and so the more that is made of
the works of Christ and of the fullness
of God’s work of Grace the stronger will
be the appeal for Godly living but by
omitting God’s work of Grace by omitting
God’s work of Mercy standards for Godly
living are brought down from the Divine
plane to the level of human
concept now all of a sudden
God is asking me to live Godly but I
bring it down on the Divine plane now
I’m depending on
me it’s often necessary to correct the
sins of
Believers and this should always be
related to God’s work of Grace for
them sin should be shown as being of the
old man and should be part should be put
off as being inconsistent with the
believer’s position before God however
condemnation of sins
condemnations of vices apart from God’s
work of
Grace when you condemn people’s sin
apart from God’s work of Grace apart
from God’s work of Mercy it leaves a
feeling of self-righteousness a holier
than thy attitude in those people who
feel like they’re
reformed that always amazes me how
somebody can take the
time to really condemn somebody else’s
stuff when they
stuff are y’all listening to me they’re
condemning somebody else’s stuff when
their stuff is not really
together can I get a
witness and we got to stop doing
