We welcome you now to a true church perspective with Pastor G. Craig Lewis.

In order to truly follow Christ, we must do what?

In order to truly follow Christ, we must deny ourselves.

Y'all hear me say this all the time.

You know why I say it all the time?

Because folks need to know that they need to do it.

You need to learn how to stop doing everything you want to do.

Put yourself on punishment. At some point, we got to stop doing everything we wants to do. Stuff that comes in

your head, you know you can't do that. I was telling another person this past week, they're like,

yeah, I didn't know I had this in me. I didn't know I had this in me. And now that I've, you know,

listening to you and you telling me, I'm finally myself I said that's what it's for we as

believers we're mirrors for each other that means when you're talking to somebody and you're

around or like buying a believer you're going to see yourself they're going to let you know issues

that you can't see things you've gotten so used to that's what the fellowship. That's why that's how iron sharpens iron.

You need people that aren't afraid to say, hey, brother, you know, man, I've been noticing

something about you. I don't want anybody in my life that can't handle me saying that.

Yeah.

So that's what the fellowship is all about.

That's how you know when it's time to deny yourself.

Brother, you need to go on a fast dude.

You didn't say that word too many times.

Yeah.
