Before the latest big news that 94 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:27,720 that that that happened with brother Charlie Kirk, there was 95 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,120 a word that went out to this house. 96 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,960 But also, you know, if we learn to share what, what word that 97 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:39,480 God gives in this house, then that word can be passed on to 98 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,280 the body. And he just reminded me, this is 99 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,920 for whoever, whoever has ears to hear and, and wants to receive 100 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,480 it. But man of God, can you go ahead 101 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,240 and read that word that you wanted me to read? 102 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,200 From August 20th, given in this house, the word of the Lord is 103 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,240 He. Is He meaning the Lord? 104 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,880 He is perfecting because the wind is about to blow. 105 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,320 He is equipping because the harvest is about to storm in. 106 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,520 He is cleaning His house because the wind is about to blow. 107 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,920 It is His grace and it is His mercy that He is giving His 108 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,920 children time to turn around. Before the Savior stepped out, 109 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,960 there was a warning in the wilderness, and that warning was 110 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,160 repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand. 111 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:34,679 God is gracious to warn, to compel, to send a Clarion call 112 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,159 before the wind blows. He is perfecting because the 113 00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:43,039 wind is about to blow. The call cost. 114 00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:47,080 He is perfecting because the wind is about to blow. 115 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,360 The power of God's Word is meant to bring about transformation. 116 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,200 He is perfecting because the wind is about to blow. 117 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,480 There's been warning about being too busy. 118 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,400 There's been warning about who you're getting in covenant with. 119 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,960 There's been warning about some of the tricks of the enemy in 120 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,080 2025. Why? 121 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,560 Because the wind is about to blow. 122 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,080 We get so focused on harvest time we don't focus on routine 123 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,400 time. The dangers about compelling you 124 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,240 about the promise is you begin to get hyper promised and think 125 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,800 anything that good. Then think anything good that 126 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,240 comes is because this is the year. 127 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,120 Not knowing this loud voice about promise on the flip side 128 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,640 is a warning to brace yourself because the wind is about to 129 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,720 blow. So in these convos, there's 130 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,600 going to be a stirring of the gifts. 131 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,640 God is shifting your seasons, He is disturbing your rhythms, He 132 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,320 is silencing your comforts, He is transplanting your desires 133 00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:52,120 and He is releasing you to your pride. 134 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,480 He does not free you from your pride. 135 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,760 You do that, but He will, when it's time, release you to your 136 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,400 pride. This is about to be a dusty 137 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,840 season. God owes no one an explanation. 138 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,800 We're in a season where you have to be OK making decisions 139 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,200 without an explanation. We're in a season where the 140 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,520 wind's going to blow and you got to be ready to go. 141 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,560 When God speaks, be quick to obey. 142 00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:21,480 If you misstep, be quick to repent. 143 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,280 He has prepared you for the day of the wind. 144 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,040 If the wind takes you out, it's because you didn't take the 145 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,040 quipping season seriously. This is a season to be very 146 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:38,480 careful, to be distracted by contentious conversations, 147 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:45,280 battles, unnecessary weights, unnecessary quarrels, 148 00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:49,760 unnecessary arguments. In this season, there's an 149 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,560 anointing to make peace and be empowered. 150 00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:54,200 Without closure. An explanation will not heal 151 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,360 you. An explanation will not get rid 152 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,240 of your insecurities. An explanation will not make you 153 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,640 trust somebody. This is a season where God's 154 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,000 going to do the healing and you need to take that passion and 155 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,200 that energy and that love and put it towards God, but also 156 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,200 show the same love that He showed you to people. 157 00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:21,200 But I'm telling you, waiting for an explanation and closure is 158 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,440 going to rob you of necessary energy that you need for the 159 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,000 divine moment. We're stepping in. 160 00:11:26,680 --> 00:11:29,040 You don't need closure for the winds about to blow. 161 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,480 The wind's about to blow. He is equipping you because the 162 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,360 wind is about to blow. Like fishing in this season, God 163 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,960 is throwing His net into the sea of Saints, and as the wind is 164 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,000 blowing, the net's going to come out of the water. 165 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:52,960 Is God's love bait enough? Is His word bait enough for you 166 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,360 to repent? You don't just come to get 167 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,880 taught the word. You don't just come for somebody 168 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,800 to read the Scriptures to you. If you say this is a house God's 169 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:09,360 called you to, then there's a part that is surrendered to to 170 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:16,200 that house. And I forget how many weeks 171 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:22,440 after or days after that word, the Charlie Kirk situation 172 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,280 happened. And. 173 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,600 The world and situations in this world and in life it gives us 174 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:42,760 opportunities to respond to God's word so when I take a word 175 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,840 like that it's not just for my just everyday life or some 176 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,120 promises unbelieving. I will take it to that Charlie 177 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,640 Kirk situation, right? And how we interpret the event 178 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:59,280 can cause divide amongst us. Here we are not paying attention 179 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,440 to the word. Be careful getting in these 180 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:07,560 conversations. So if I keep the word before me 181 00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:11,080 when these situations come, God's already warned me. 182 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,880 So when I'm ending up in these conversations, I'm obeying the 183 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,520 right now Word of God. And it's going to keep me 184 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:23,080 fruitful under pressure. So then there's other people in 185 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,640 my life that may not be experiencing that same type of 186 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,160 fruit, but they also didn't get that word to respond. 187 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:35,360 See, God gives us a word. The wind blows, the wind is 188 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,040 blowing, something else don't come up. 189 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,800 And it don't got to be a world event. 190 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,840 It could be at your house event. It could be at your job event. 191 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,280 But you have a word of how to respond in these dark days. 192 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,760 Will you obey? Or will you take a word like 193 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,200 that and don't go back and chew on it? 194 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,200 See, the cool thing about a word like this too is it causes me to 195 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,120 have eyes to see who not to be around. 196 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,560 Oh, those that aren't those who want to argue, those who want to 197 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,960 have these unnecessary conversations, those who want to 198 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,320 gossip. Those who want to do these 199 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,560 things. Guess what? 200 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,760 In this season, if that's the word, then that ain't the 201 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,600 activity I should be around. Why? 202 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,440 Because I'm trying to go. It ain't watch this. 203 00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:20,040 It ain't because I don't like you, Danny. 204 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,240 It's because I like the word that God gave me more so I'm not 205 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,880 trying. If it's friends over word, word 206 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,120 is going to always win. If his Mama over word, Word's 207 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,960 going to always win. If his wife over word, word is 208 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:40,160 going to always win. The reason God gives me a word 209 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,480 is because everything and everybody that I'm in alignment 210 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,680 with that word is to sync us together. 211 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,320 But that word also, that's that the word that syncs me with who 212 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,800 God's called me to be within the season always also purges people 213 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,240 that I'm not supposed to. Because what you've proven to me 214 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,320 is we not hearing the same in this season. 215 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,000 We own too. God has changed my my channels. 216 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:16,120 You still on the same channel. God has given me a new 217 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,600 frequency. You still on the same frequency. 218 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,960 God can give me a new energy. You still got that same energy. 219 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,960 You know how some people say keep that same energy? 220 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:33,200 No, sometime change that energy right? 221 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,880 He's doing a new thing. He's maturing us. 222 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,640 He's growing up growing us up. If the wind's about to blow, 223 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,720 it's examination time. Are you humble enough to say 224 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,000 man, now I can't keep walking this way. 225 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,040 I can't keep talking this way. I can't keep clicking up 40 deep 226 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,320 and rallying around familiar spirits that's going to agree 227 00:15:54,320 --> 00:16:00,080 with me and that's going to no. What is God calling you to 228 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,160 today? These last few weeks have proven 229 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,400 that the Bride needs to go back to elementary school. 230 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,360 We need milk. Our bones are weak, our bones 231 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,320 are dry, our bones are frail. Our immune system has been 232 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,720 compromised by the lies of the enemy, the affairs of the world, 233 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,360 the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of 234 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,080 life. And we are severely divided, but 235 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:29,200 in areas that aren't essential to us being united. 236 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:36,040 It's amazing at the things the church will turn its head from 237 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:42,160 when it comes to our beliefs outside of Christianity. 238 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,160 Our beliefs, our philosophies, our ideologies, the things we 239 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:54,160 will ignore in the name of Jesus versus no, no, no, no Jesus 240 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,080 character. Is it love? 241 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000 They will know you, they will know you. 242 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,560 They will know you like like the proof the world will know you 243 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,760 are mines by your love. No, I all right. 244 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,960 I know Elder John just simply I know Elder John because he come 245 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,359 to church and he say he a Christian and he knows some 246 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,160 scriptures. So I'm just like you, my brother 247 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,160 in Christ. You a Christian. 248 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,359 Hey, you ever? You ever? 249 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,480 Find that person at work or something and y'all look at each 250 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:30,400 other like are you? Christian, y'all been working 251 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,720 together all this time and y'all just like I knew you was one of 252 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,520 us. No, no, no, I, we don't, we, we 253 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,120 can know that we're Christian by just saying, hey, I'm a believer 254 00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:43,520 in Jesus. What he's saying is the way the 255 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,440 world will know that you are mine, that there's something 256 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,800 different because the world knows love. 257 00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:53,320 Although it's confused about love, the world knows love. 258 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,120 The most important thing that we can offer the world in these 259 00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:02,640 last days is love, the Father's love. 260 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,280 And before you can offer the world the Father's love, you 261 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:14,680 have to receive it and you have to produce the love of God, the 262 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,520 fruit of His love to produce in you. 263 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,760 Because what the church know how to do is talk a big game. 264 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:32,480 But look at our fruit, not just Oh my disciples, because we 265 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,200 guess what we will do. We'll put human beings in a 266 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,640 fruit basket and be like this. Look at my. 267 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,000 Fruit. Let's put your joy in a fruit 268 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,040 basket. Let's put your peace in a fruit 269 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,000 basket. Let's, let's, let's, let's, 270 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,000 let's, let's, let's inspect your kindness and your 271 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,080 long-suffering. But let's inspect your kindness 272 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,600 to people who ain't right to you. 273 00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:04,600 Let let's inspect your joy and your peace. 274 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:11,680 When all hell break loose, Let's inspect your long. 275 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:17,120 Suffering when somebody mean to you, lie to you, talk down to 276 00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:19,440 you. Let's do that. 277 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,600 You can't expect no fruit with everything. 278 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,960 Good. Everybody nice to you. 279 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,240 How's your fruit when God's calling you to submit to 280 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,000 somebody you don't want to? Or how's your fruit when God's 281 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,200 calling you to be in a relationship with somebody you 282 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,120 don't want to? How? 283 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,640 How's your fruit when it don't go your way when they turn their 284 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,640 back on you? How's your fruit then, you 285 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,120 think? Jesus had to come and just 286 00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:53,400 suffer just to suffer. Yeah, part of it was our 287 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,040 salvation, but part of it was him showing us how to walk our 288 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,840 salvation out. And he said, look, if you really 289 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,720 mind. They going to persecute you like 290 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,920 if you really about that frontline soldier life they 291 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,520 going to get you going to get the business. 292 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,000 I'm because because I'm going to assure I'm going to make Jesus. 293 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,440 I'm going to make sure I ask you to say some stuff that ain't 294 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:29,250 popular so these last few weeks. And many current events prove to 295 00:20:29,250 --> 00:20:32,890 us that we need to go back to elementary school. 296 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,080 Milk is not mere suggestion in this hour, but it is a vital 297 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,400 necessity. We got Saints who claim to know 298 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:46,040 Jesus, but the spiritual fruit doesn't say the same the the 299 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,360 scripture says be rooted so you know the depth somebody say 300 00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:54,760 depth depth means what deep right, right. 301 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,080 So so so when I'm what? Maybe this? 302 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,840 Is what I'm saying. Guys, I have no doubt that you 303 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:07,040 know Jesus in a certain dimension, but when he says that 304 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,440 you may know the depth he is saying there is, there is 305 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:15,120 dimensions to my love. There's depths of my love that 306 00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:20,040 you don't have the capacity to understand, right? 307 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,640 And so for me, I'm at a place in my life where but but there's a 308 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:28,760 depth of love that you can never understand until you respond 309 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,360 like Jesus in the midst of persecution. 310 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,640 There is some depths of love you will never know if you never 311 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,920 embrace the valley. Watch this. 312 00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:52,160 You can go through the valley but not embrace it, right? 313 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,680 You can have kids, but not parent. 314 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,720 You can have a spot. You can be married but not have 315 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,400 but but but not engage in marriage. 316 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,880 You can be a pastor and not pastor. 317 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,120 Yeah, So you can go through the valley. 318 00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:16,960 So don't take pride because you're going through a hard 319 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,800 time. Where's your heart in the hard 320 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,520 time? How's your tongue in the hard 321 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:31,180 time? We have Saints that are 322 00:22:31,180 --> 00:22:33,740 exhausted in a time we should be exuberant. 323 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,160 Saints are complaining when we should be compassionate. 324 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,360 Saints are retreating when we should be reviving. 325 00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:43,280 Saints are confused when we should be clear. 326 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,680 Saints are political when we should be priestly. 327 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,840 Saints are subdued when we should be subduing. 328 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,520 Saints are running where we should be rooted. 329 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,280 We are fickle when we should be focused. 330 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,400 We are passive when we should be pursuing. 331 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,840 We are siding when we should be seizing, taking over still. 332 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,600 And yet Jesus is on the throne still, and yet my God is alive 333 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:14,240 still, and yet the Holy Spirit is still assigned. 334 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,480 Watch this last week. Let me, let me, let me, let me, 335 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,640 let me keep reading, Let me, let me, let me keep reading, let me, 336 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,000 let me keep reading. Stay right here. 337 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,920 If I wanted to divide the Father's house right now, all I 338 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,920 have to do is ask everyone to publicly share the true thoughts 339 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,320 they have about their world views. 340 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:42,720 Church would be divided. Why is it that simple to divide 341 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,520 us? I said share your world views. 342 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,320 But you know what's crazy? Even if I asked us to share our 343 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,920 theological views, when I do believe that every person in 344 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:58,520 this room believes our doctrine. He was born of a virgin named 345 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,320 Mary. Yeah, he lived. 346 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,280 He died. He rose. 347 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:08,880 What? Why, What? 348 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,040 What's all the other stuff about? 349 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,240 How is it so easy to divide us when what we're called to unite 350 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:25,280 around is so simple? What what pride and arrogance is 351 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,760 in this room, But who came to get delivered from it? 352 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,200 And who came to and who but who came to hold on to it? 353 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,680 Where's the day? Where the Spirit? 354 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,400 Can move on people's heart and before the message is over you 355 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,840 hear people crying out, Lord I repent. 356 00:24:46,140 --> 00:24:48,860 How is it come? That was so easy to divide. 357 00:24:48,860 --> 00:24:52,260 Us. And you wonder why we are where 358 00:24:52,260 --> 00:24:57,800 we are. The crazy part is we should be 359 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,520 uniting and putting this energy together and this faith together 360 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:05,840 to go win the lost world. Because when you witness all 361 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:12,000 it's about is Jesus died, Jesus rose, he look for God, so love 362 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,960 the world that he gave. It ain't about none of the other 363 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,040 stuff. When you are out there 364 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,440 witnessing, saving the lost, the blind, they know what love. 365 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:25,840 They want love. Now the cool thing about here, 366 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,480 man, I didn't I didn't preach. I didn't preach some pretty 367 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,760 gangster churches. OK, nobody preach from gangster 368 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,640 messages because OK, nobody in here be like PT soft and PT 369 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,320 little warm and PTPT don't be preaching. 370 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,400 He don't be going after that, all of that, all of that. 371 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:41,720 I've been preaching for a long time. 372 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,440 All of that. Go go check up on it. 373 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,160 I don't ski skirt. I don't run from nothing. 374 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,360 No, no conversations I'm running from. 375 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,080 But at the end of the day, you can be so prideful in your 376 00:25:55,080 --> 00:26:00,560 willingness to obey God and say the hard stuff that you rebel 377 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:06,400 and don't say the simple truth. And so you got so much 378 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,120 theological pride in the church today because we pride ourselves 379 00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:11,840 in no, I'm going to tell you, I'm going. 380 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,160 You go, you know, No, you go. No, no, no, no, no. 381 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,640 And all through the Bible, it tells us and warns us this, this 382 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,880 is this. It warns us it's so much 383 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,880 theological pride going on, and it's just one simple truth, man, 384 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,280 that the world needs now. Now as we're discipling and 385 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,880 we're trying to carve and and mold and become more like 386 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,680 Christ. I can't become more like Christ 387 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,920 if I ain't received Christ. So the goal is not to make the 388 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:46,120 world become more like Christ, is to get them to receive 389 00:26:46,120 --> 00:26:50,160 Christ, because the world can't become more like Christ, nor can 390 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,920 we without the Holy Ghost. Well, the world can't receive 391 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,760 Christ, they only can receive Jesus. 392 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,200 And once you have the gift of Jesus from the Father, then you 393 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,000 get the gift of the Holy Ghost, which is the gift from Jesus. 394 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,800 And then it is the Holy Spirit in us that works out our 395 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,480 salvation. But even the Holy Ghost can't 396 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,360 work out our salvation if we don't work it out with fear. 397 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:25,200 Trembling what we talking about You think we you think the world 398 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,400 got a capacity? You think we you think we can 399 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,640 afford with all? The information that's going on 400 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,240 in the world, all the news we see, all the bad news, all the 401 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,520 fear, all the stuff the world is feeding us and we feeding 402 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,720 ourselves. You think we it ain't time for a 403 00:27:39,720 --> 00:28:06,250 simple message? It'd be very simple to divide 404 00:28:06,250 --> 00:28:13,250 this room right now. Our opinions would divide us, 405 00:28:14,210 --> 00:28:22,870 some of our convictions would divide us, and some people 406 00:28:22,870 --> 00:28:26,030 wouldn't even mind that. Well, let me help you. 407 00:28:26,030 --> 00:28:27,550 Division breaks the Father's heart. 408 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:30,320 It may not. Break yours. 409 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:31,600 But it breaks the father's heart. 410 00:28:37,090 --> 00:28:41,690 The father hear me, Elder John. The father has worked too hard 411 00:28:42,130 --> 00:28:46,370 and he has given too much to get his sons and daughters home for 412 00:28:46,370 --> 00:28:51,050 me to take a service, to do something as stupid as split the 413 00:28:51,050 --> 00:28:57,560 room over an opinion, oversiding or over weaponizing the word. 414 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:03,000 My ethnicity, weaponizing my culture and racial disposition. 415 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,720 Once again, I'm on Jesus side. I am a citizen of the Kingdom of 416 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,720 God. I am and you are sons and 417 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,960 daughters. We've been washed by the 418 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,200 precious blood of the Lamb. We will spend eternal life with 419 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:23,320 our Creator, with our Savior, with our Maker, and we are free 420 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:28,280 from condemnation and we are the righteousness of God and the 421 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:38,720 devil is under our feet. To those who have come from all 422 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,400 walks of life, you are a new Christian, new convert. 423 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,880 You left new age, you left Muslim. 424 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,560 You've you've come from some very complex background. 425 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:52,040 I am sorry that you have gotten in caught up in the crossfire of 426 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,680 Christians fighting one another and disagreeing. 427 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,880 And you are new to the faith. And in these times, all you can 428 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,880 do is see. How dysfunctional we are with 429 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,440 one another. I promise you that the Father is 430 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,760 not confused. The Father is not dysfunctional. 431 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,720 The Father cannot lie. Jesus saves, He loves, Jesus 432 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,040 heals, Jesus delivers, and Jesus sets free. 433 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,200 There's people here who are locked in on Jesus. 434 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,520 Locked in and focused. Focused on his way, His truth, 435 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:34,480 His life, His grace, His mercy. There's people in here where 436 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:41,680 Jesus is enough. Jesus is the focus. 437 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,680 You are unified around the essentials and you are you. 438 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,240 You give liberty around the non essentials and in all things you 439 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,920 love. Joshua 513 through 15. 440 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,760 He simply says this. He says, are you on our side or 441 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,680 the enemy side? Here's his response. 442 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,840 I'm on neither side. I'm on the Lord's side. 443 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,800 Watch this. I'm here to declare to you today 444 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,000 that I am not undecided where I stand. 445 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,600 I am not playing it safe. I am playing it grace and truth. 446 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,520 I have a stance. It is the firm foundation 447 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:27,200 preaching the loving gospel of the King and his Kingdom is the 448 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:32,480 mandate. Paul, a loving and loyal servant 449 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,920 of the anointed One Jesus, he called me to be his apostle. 450 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,920 Watch this. He called me to be his apostle 451 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,160 and set me apart with a mission to reveal God's wonderful 452 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,800 gospel. Wait, wait, wait, wait. 453 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:54,040 Brett, Apostle Paul says this. He says I have been set apart to 454 00:31:54,040 --> 00:32:00,720 reveal God's wonderful gospel. I write to all His beloved 455 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:05,560 chosen ones in Rome, for you are also called to as holy ones. 456 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:11,760 May His joyous grace and total well-being flowing from our 457 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,840 Father and the Lord Jesus Christ rest upon you. 458 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,560 My Commission is to preach the good news. 459 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:23,120 Paul says My Commission is to preach the good news, yet it is 460 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,640 not entirely new. Watch this, but the fulfillment 461 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:31,320 of the hope promised to us through his prophets in the 462 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,280 sacred Scriptures. Watch this, the fulfillment of 463 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,920 the hope promised. Are we preaching? 464 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:47,880 Hope for the gospel, it continues, is all about God's 465 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,080 Son. I'm going to read that one more 466 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,400 time. For the Gospel is all about 467 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,840 God's Son. As a man, he descended from 468 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:02,040 David's royal lineage. But as the mighty Son of God, he 469 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,160 was raised from the dead and miraculously set apart with a 470 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,200 display. Watch this of triumph, power 471 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,400 supplied by the spirit of holiness. 472 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,240 And now Jesus is our Lord and our Messiah. 473 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:21,840 Through Him, grace cascaded into us, empowering us with the gift 474 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,640 of apostleship. Watch this so that we can win 475 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,640 people from every nation into the obedience that comes from 476 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,880 what faith to bring honor to His name. 477 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:39,480 And you are among the chosen ones who are called to belong to 478 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:45,360 Jesus, the Anointed 1. Every single believer in this 479 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,200 room is called to share the good news. 480 00:33:58,270 --> 00:34:03,150 Focus on the good news. I shared something this morning 481 00:34:06,030 --> 00:34:10,070 about my contacts and I think a lot of times when you are 482 00:34:10,070 --> 00:34:12,150 sitting in your chairs, you're only thinking about your. 483 00:34:12,150 --> 00:34:15,920 Contacts, right? It's your seat, your shoes, your 484 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,440 car, your house, your life. What you came to church for is 485 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,840 you, you, you, you. You don't think about what I'm 486 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,560 up here for. I have somebody back there tell 487 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,440 me, do texting just like man, you're kind of like like the 488 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,560 elementary teacher who got to talk to all the elementary 489 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:34,120 student parents and all the parents think they write, but 490 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,639 it's only about they kids. It's not. 491 00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:39,280 About the teacher who has to. It's not about the principal 492 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,360 that has to all the kids, right? It's not, it's not about the 493 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:51,000 president that has to facilitate a country of of hundreds of 494 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,840 thousands of religions and and philosophies and people from all 495 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,159 over the world. It's not about that. 496 00:34:56,159 --> 00:34:59,240 Normally we're just trying to push our agenda and anybody that 497 00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:03,680 does not agree or say or affirm what we think or believe, what 498 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,280 happens? We get demonized. 499 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,760 You get demonized. What am I sharing this with you 500 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,120 for? Because we don't need coward, 501 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:19,960 weak believers in the last days, not who's courageous and bold 502 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:25,680 enough to just point out wrong. But ain't it crazy how 503 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,840 courageous, how hard it is to be courageous and bold? 504 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,280 It's almost like the gospel ain't simple enough. 505 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:45,760 We got to complicate it. This pastor have always had to 506 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:50,920 adapt just to survive. Or, and some of you have in here 507 00:35:50,920 --> 00:36:00,640 as well, I've spent the last 23 years sharing food and bills and 508 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:07,880 life with a person who looks like a family member of some of 509 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,920 the people who oppress my family. 510 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,920 Can we can we talk real So I can help you with context. 511 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,720 So you don't just think we supposed to to preach for you, 512 00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:23,280 right? We're in this this city alone 513 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:29,040 has 98% of the globe here. What church is going to be able 514 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:41,990 to speak to the world? My My family's greatest chance 515 00:36:42,270 --> 00:36:45,390 of having success in this world is to love. 516 00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:55,480 God has, as He did with Paul, used my context that He put me 517 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,760 in the community, the culture, the life, and all these things. 518 00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:04,560 And He is molding the type of leader that he wants and He 519 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,760 loves the uniqueness in which I grew up in. 520 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:13,160 And He gives me his perspective, but use my context and watch 521 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,680 this, my contact. His context should consume my 522 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:21,520 context. And I should shut my mouth until 523 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:26,760 my context has been sifted through and and and and and and 524 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,920 be made to point to his context.

And, and if you're really 536 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,400 serious about obeying God, you're going to always at times 537 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,080 feel the tension between the people that you really want to 538 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,120 please and the people that you love and the people you walk 539 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,160 with.

Then there's another. 548 00:38:57,240 --> 00:39:00,760 Side where you get people that's going to always have something 549 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:08,040 to complain about and so as a vulnerable human being you 550 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:12,760 wrestle with I'm going and thank God I have a wife who. 551 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,760 Is a little. Stronger than me in some areas. 552 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:23,960 And I have had to submit to her wisdom and to the word that you 553 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,480 wrote. You wrote because the reason I 554 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,640 didn't read it is because I didn't want to hear it out of my 555 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:28,560 mouth. I needed to hear it. 556 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,120 And part of that was getting in unnecessary conversations. 557 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,120 And although you not hollering back at me, sometimes what I can 558 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,600 preach, it's a conversation happening. 559 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,280 And sometimes you you going to say stuff to try to to try and 560 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,400 bring people understanding that's already made-up. 561 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:49,080 They mind they walking away someday versus focusing on the 562 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,280 people here who know God has called them here and really need 563 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:53,840 a word for where they are in life. 564 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,200 And they hear. They hear. 565 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:56,880 You get what I'm saying? Like you, you. 566 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,840 And so sometime in that wrestle, you get so caught up trying to 567 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:08,400 save something that's already not you, you trying to change 568 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,320 people mind who have already made-up their mind about you. 569 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,720 This is why we like Paul, because he was vulnerable and 570 00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:19,160 you can relate to him. Right. 571 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:20,400 What? What would the book be if we 572 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,280 didn't have that in prison Story? 573 00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:26,120 But. It's it's late in the midnight 574 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:31,000 hour, but you was in jail bro. Like you had them shackles on 575 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:35,760 like you, you was in prison. I get I feel you right they 576 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,240 talking about you. I feel right. 577 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:42,960 These stories matter, and it is an Apostolic grace to be 578 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:48,120 vulnerable with your life. And so I'm being transparent 579 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:53,240 with you so you can learn. It's like you, you don't have 580 00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:57,520 time in the season trying to preserve relationships that you 581 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,560 know, you called to you. You don't have time to be like, 582 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,800 hey, open your eyes. You call to me and I'm call to 583 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:06,920 you. Don't you see it? 584 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:12,240 You don't have time to do that. Because if they were walking in 585 00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:15,240 the way that the Lord has called them to walk, they would have 586 00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:20,560 eyes to see the fruit of your life, OK. 587 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,280 And so I really want some people in here because I got to move 588 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:25,680 on. I'm not going, I'm not going to 589 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,400 do that. I really want to help some 590 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:31,560 people in here that's really, really, really have ears to hear 591 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,560 right now. We spoke on the scripture in 592 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,720 Mark 15 today, starting at 25. It said that Jesus was crucified 593 00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:41,840 at 9:00 AM and then and then the little homies on his left side 594 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,760 and his right side was talking crazy. 595 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,000 They, they were all on the cross and they had an audacity to be 596 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,320 persecuting him on the cross. They all three on the cross and, 597 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,320 and they're daring him. They're mocking him. 598 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,840 They're like if you, the Savior. Then go and get yourself off the 599 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,400 cross. You raise this and that, you 600 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,800 heal this and that. Now save yourself. 601 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,840 Crazy that they read about him, but when he was in front of 602 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,240 them, they couldn't see it. It just lets us know, man, we, 603 00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:14,200 we, we need help to actually see the depths and the layers. 604 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,840 I know although I am up here, I can't see everything. 605 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,360 I need my wife, I need, I need people that God put around me so 606 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,400 I can, I can, I can say say, hey, can you, can you help me 607 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:33,800 see, watch this. Ain't nobody seeing the fullness 608 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,400 of what God is saying and doing by themselves. 609 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,560 He says you only know in part. Guess what? 610 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,560 But He only know in part. But He got a part I don't got. 611 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,200 She only know in part, but she got a part. 612 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,040 Now I'm trying to get to the whole part as much as I can. 613 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,960 So I got some people around me that got a part I don't have. 614 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,800 That's the power to five fold ministry gift because each part 615 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,360 got something the other one don't have. 616 00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,640 And when you put that fist together, it makes a powerful 617 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:08,600 punch. And then it says 3:00 came 618 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:13,960 around and Jesus said, Lord, why have you forsaken me? 619 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,160 So he was crucified at 9. He cried out at 3. 620 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:22,520 How long he been on the cross? We got a few people know how to 621 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:27,880 do math. OK, 9:00 AM He was crucified 12 622 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:32,760 AM 12:00 PM came. He's still hanging. 3:00 PM 623 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:33,840 came. He cries out. 624 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,480 Darkness started to come. It's about to go down. 625 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,560 How many hours is that? Six hours? 626 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:47,600 Can you imagine being on that cross in the condition that he 627 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:53,000 was in? For six hours alive, watch this. 628 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,480 We going to see something here in a minute. 629 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,840 OK, watch this. The whole point here with this 630 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:05,400 passage is that when you are holding the tension in the 631 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:10,240 middle, what allows you to hold the tension is the work of the 632 00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:15,920 ministry, the word. You don't even know how bad you 633 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,760 need to serve. You don't know how bad you need 634 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,880 to tell your testimony. You don't know how bad you need 635 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:27,720 to make disciples like. Like you actually need to. 636 00:44:27,720 --> 00:44:31,200 The work of the ministry is a lifeline. 637 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,160 OK, See, See. Watch this. 638 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:44,760 In the tensions, in the valleys and in the pits, do the work. 639 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,920 I'm going to say it loud. I'm going to say it real loud. 640 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,600 I'm going to say it real loud. In your tensions and in the 641 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,480 valleys and in the pits, do the work. 642 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,680 Right, I, I'm, I'm scrolling through you, you know, even when 643 00:44:58,680 --> 00:44:59,800 you write. That's the cool thing about 644 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,040 diary and stuff like that. Journaling. 645 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:03,320 There we go. That's a little easier to say 646 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,120 journaling and stuff like that, right? 647 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,800 You, you, when you sometime when you write stuff out, like when 648 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,360 persecution came this week and when, when insecurities came up 649 00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:15,000 this week, I started to write. So what I'm sifting through is 650 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,440 certain things that I wrote in that moment and then I'm passing 651 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:24,240 over so I can get to the work, meaning the assignment, not God 652 00:45:24,240 --> 00:45:29,360 can use this. Right, he can use this, but when 653 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,880 you're after the well done, your feelings don't matter. 654 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,280 It's cool, it's cool, it's cool. Your feelings don't matter. 655 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,640 Watch this. Your feelings can be valid, but 656 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:49,000 your feelings should never trump assignment, yo, your feelings 657 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,720 should never trump mandate. So you got to give your 658 00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:53,360 feelings. This is why watch this. 659 00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,240 This is why Jesus says, hey, Peter, the enemy want to come 660 00:45:56,240 --> 00:45:58,880 sift you like wheat because you a real emotional dude. 661 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,560 You real insecure dude. You a real hasty dude. 662 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,200 So, Peter, I got to let you go through this season of tension, 663 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,280 and I pray your faith don't fail so when you come out, you can 664 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,320 get back to the work of the ministry. 665 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,440 What did he say when you come out of this season? 666 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:27,720 So might it be that the Lord's hand that in order for you to be 667 00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:30,720 strength for someone else, you have to surrender to the 668 00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:40,320 sifting, not fight the sifting season, But you're going to have 669 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:46,880 to allow the Lord to allow you to go through a season purging 670 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:51,320 and sifting and trying and testing and tension and valleys 671 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:56,320 and pits. But He's telling us what to do 672 00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:02,480 to thrive in that season. See, we're not putting our 673 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,880 valleys, our tensions, our valleys in our pits. 674 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:10,160 We're not seeing that that is an ordained, designed and beautiful 675 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:11,800 cross. That we get to carry. 676 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:16,760 In order to carry the cross, He says this EJ, He says if you 677 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,960 want to live in my resurrection power or my glory, then you also 678 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:27,200 got to share my cross, my what you want to get out of He wants 679 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:31,760 to get in. I will promise you this. 680 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,160 It is much better Jesus getting in the furnace with you. 681 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,000 Then you getting out without him. 682 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:45,640 Because because watch this, if I let Jesus get in the furnace 683 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,240 with me, I can see how he handles fire. 684 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:55,160 Can I get, can I get if anybody just heard what I said, tap your 685 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,800 quiet neighbor next to you. If they give you an attitude, 686 00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,480 just pray for him and say come out of you in the name of Jesus, 687 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,120 but say, did you hear what he said? 688 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:09,560 I need Jesus to get in it with me so I can observe. 689 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,400 He is walking with he's walking. He says my yoke is easy. 690 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,640 Walk with me. I'm about to, I'm about to get 691 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,840 in this furnace with you and I'm going to show you how to handle 692 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,320 the fire. I'm about to get in this den 693 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,880 with you and show you how to handle the lions. 694 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:28,440 I'm about to bring a bear and show you how to deal with bears, 695 00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,600 right. And so often we just want to get 696 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:38,920 out or we shut off until we out. Watch this, watch this. 697 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:45,600 If you get out when you shut off in, you really didn't get out. 698 00:48:49,760 --> 00:49:01,400 If you get out and you shut off while you was in tracking, I 699 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:05,080 will challenge to tell you, you really ain't out. 700 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,840 Get ready for something else to resurface. 701 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,520 This is that 7 times stronger thing. 702 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:17,160 You, you don't get out kicking and complaining, being mean and 703 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,080 no no you get out by love graduate. 704 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:24,200 The cap and gown only comes when love is rooted. 705 00:49:25,240 --> 00:49:28,760 I'll say it again, the cap and gown is because you passed the 706 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:33,880 love test. Watch this. 707 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:40,320 Love is not toleration. So I applaud you for tolerating, 708 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,080 but Jesus didn't tolerate us. He died for us. 709 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,160 That ain't tolerating. Watch this, because when you 710 00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:54,440 tolerate, in order to tolerate, you have to house resentment. 711 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:06,080 OK, all right, all right, all right. 712 00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,440 So in the team, do the work, do the work, do the work, do the 713 00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,360 work. The work of the ministry keeps 714 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,880 us sound, it keeps us strengthened, and it keeps us 715 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,560 surrendered. OK, listen, this morning I went 716 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:21,240 over that. What do you do when your only 717 00:50:21,240 --> 00:50:23,800 way out is to work worship and wait? 718 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,640 Not work a principal, do the work of the ministry? 719 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:33,480 I don't. Am I the only one in here who 720 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,280 went through like an extended season? 721 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,160 It felt like God ain't saying nothing to me. 722 00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,520 God ain't saying no left turn, no right turn. 723 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,680 He ain't saying stop. He ain't even saying you, you 724 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,400 tripping. He ain't saying nothing. 725 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,240 He ain't saying you bad. You, you missed it. 726 00:50:47,240 --> 00:50:50,280 He ain't saying nothing. Am I the only one? 727 00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,640 Can I? I'm the other one-on-one on one, 728 00:50:52,880 --> 00:51:00,280 right? See the challenge with see, when 729 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:07,000 I walk with the word Jesus, I don't always need a word to make 730 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:12,960 it through a season because the word lives in me with the Holy 731 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:16,520 Ghost, right? Because there was people who 732 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:17,840 watch this. There was people. 733 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:24,280 There was a whole testament, old one bigger than the new one. 734 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,000 They didn't. They didn't. 735 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,480 They didn't have these. They didn't have 66 books. 736 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:36,720 All they had was a word. All they had was a visitation. 737 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:44,160 All they had was presents. All they had watch this. 738 00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,640 All they had was generational faith. 739 00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,040 The work of the ministry, the work of the Kingdom is simply 740 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,080 win souls, make disciples. Matthew 2818 through 20 right 741 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,520 there. Boom, go ye therefore make 742 00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:12,240 disciples. All nations teaching them this 743 00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:14,600 stuff. He I don't think Jesus tried to 744 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:18,720 be complicated. I think he was pretty simple and 745 00:52:18,720 --> 00:52:21,080 then he said the complicated stuff I can't really share with 746 00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:26,600 you until the Holy Spirit comes. He's very gracious. 747 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,640 He's very kind. The ministry of reconciliation. 748 00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:35,440 We read about that in the first experience, 2nd Corinthians 5. 749 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,800 The work of the Kingdom is simply watch this. 750 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:43,360 Also the ministry of preaching and teaching the gospel is why 751 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,920 he says study to show thy selves approved just because. 752 00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,560 You throw a scripture.

And what God was doing to prune 844 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:25,640 me, I made doctrine. I needed to stop listening to 845 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,720 secular music based on the cleansing He was doing in me. 846 00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:33,080 I needed to put down the weed. I needed to put down the drink. 847 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,760 I needed to. And So what I did is because I 848 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,680 was convicted, everybody. Got to stop doing this. 849 00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,480 I'm listening to nothing but Jesus and you out here having 850 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,280 fun.

I'm just hating a little bit. 852 00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:57,520 But you have to understand and there's that's that spirit of 853 00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:01,280 where that that's a religious spirit of where some things that 854 01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:04,760 you're convicted by is not for you to make. 855 01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:10,400 Everybody's God is dealing with them as he's dealing with you. 856 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,200 And I had to take responsibility. 857 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,320 And that is watch this. That's maturity. 858 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:21,240 That's perfecting when you can look at yourself and be like, 859 01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:25,480 man, God's dealing. With my heart about that, that's 860 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,000 what he said. Why take the plank out of your 861 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,760 eye? Can we look at your nastiness? 862 01:00:39,890 --> 01:00:44,010 So can we say do the work, Say do the work, Watch this, say do 863 01:00:44,010 --> 01:00:48,200 the work, preach the gospel, keep it simple. 864 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,800 Watch this, watch this, watch this, watch this. 865 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:53,520 This is so good. Why do you like Jesus? 866 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,160 He was watch what Jesus was doing up there at all. 867 01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,320 Say focus on the work one more time. 868 01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,920 Focus on the work, OK? OK. 869 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,520 Not the word, the work. OK, I just went and did the word 870 01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:13,360 too, but they're just the work, OK, One of the criminals. 871 01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:17,480 So this is Luke's account. I started off with Mark, same 872 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:22,280 account, but Luke got a little. He has another part, right? 873 01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,920 You only know in part what it what if it was only Mark's part. 874 01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,360 But Luke, Luke got a glimpse of something. 875 01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:34,760 That's why we got Matthew, Mark, Luke and John because John. 876 01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:40,200 But the based on John's gift sets, based on Luke's gift sets, 877 01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,320 God can only deal with him one way. 878 01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:49,000 Thank God we got 4 accounts because then we might miss some 879 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,200 stuff. So Luke come and say one of the 880 01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:57,000 criminals who was suspended kept kept up railing at him saying 881 01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,240 are you not the cry? If I was on the cross next to 882 01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,720 Jesus, I would not be taunting Jesus right now. 883 01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:09,600 How? How are you doing that? 884 01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,080 He's watch this, rescue yourself and us. 885 01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,120 He's smart though. He like, don't forget me though, 886 01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,800 rescue yourself and us from death. 887 01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:24,080 Watch this. But the other one reproved him 888 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:28,400 saying do you not even fear God seeing you yourself are under 889 01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,520 the same sentence of condemnation and suffering? 890 01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,160 You see, you see two parties here. 891 01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,720 PDL mentioned this beautiful story about being in the middle. 892 01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:43,120 The prodigal son's father was in the middle while one son was 893 01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,240 complaining and being like he did this and he did that, he did 894 01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,440 this and he did that. The father said I don't want to 895 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:51,080 talk about none of that son, let's celebrate your home. 896 01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:59,680 How that father held attention. He said, do you not understand 897 01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:02,960 the grace and the blessing that's on you that stayed home. 898 01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,880 Why do you want us to turn this into a party where we just beat 899 01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:10,840 them up? The we got to see the father 900 01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:15,920 knew, but we got to see the prodigal son, how down he was 901 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:19,800 and how much he beat himself up. The world is a shame. 902 01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:22,520 That's why we drink and that's why we smoke and that's why we 903 01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,920 sex and that's why we do the stuff we do because it's pain. 904 01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:31,880 They're trying to numb the pain. May we be a source of freedom 905 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,840 and pureness and, and healing and A and a healing balm in 906 01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,320 their lives. So the Father said the last 907 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:43,080 thing we about to do when our son comes home is remind him of 908 01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:47,160 a place he just ran from. You don't, you don't realize, 909 01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,280 right? But the fact that you are even 910 01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:54,040 listening to me speaks to the fact that God LED you to hear a 911 01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:58,240 word. May I not take advantage of you 912 01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,320 being led by the speech? My job is to help you understand 913 01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:07,920 You are in a divine moment. How dare I take that 914 01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:15,760 opportunity? Lord May, if we get a captive 915 01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:19,040 audience, may we give them Your love. 916 01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,280 What's this? What's this? 917 01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:30,920 And we indeed suffer it in justly receiving the due reward 918 01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:35,880 of our actions. But this man has done nothing 919 01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:43,880 out of the way, nothing strange or eccentric or perverse or 920 01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:48,840 unreasonable. Then he said to Jesus, Lord, 921 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:53,840 Remember Me when you come in your kingly glory. 922 01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:57,760 Watch this Watch this. And Jesus answered, truly, I 923 01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:01,440 tell you today you come in with me. 924 01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:07,640 What is he doing? He's on the cross, witnessing, 925 01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:12,840 doing the work of the ministry. Because you don't understand 926 01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,600 that you may not want to go in your pit, but God put something 927 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,320 in you that somebody in the pit needs. 928 01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,400 Joseph, we don't want to go through that. 929 01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:29,960 But Joseph met a man in prison and he helped him interpret 930 01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:35,080 dreams, use gift that when that man got out of prison and 931 01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:38,640 somebody else needed an interpretation, he called on the 932 01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,960 man that was stuck in prison wrongfully. 933 01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:47,680 Then that man loved him so much he put him over some things. 934 01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:53,120 What was Joseph doing in prison? The work of the ministry. 935 01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:56,120 What was he doing when his brothers walked up to him that 936 01:05:56,120 --> 01:06:02,920 left him for dead? The work of the ministry, He 937 01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:06,920 said today you shall be with me. The other part of this guys is 938 01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:11,400 you don't understand is though the devil nailed me to the cross 939 01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:14,360 I snatched. One out of hell. 940 01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:21,080 Do you want to repay hell for putting, for messing with you, 941 01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,400 for messing with your family? Guess what you got to do to work 942 01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,720 in the ministry? So while they watch this, while 943 01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,760 they're mocking you and the devil think it's over, you look 944 01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,080 over and you know you got all power. 945 01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:35,440 You know what God is putting you. 946 01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:38,480 I'm not about to watch this. I'm not about to say a word to 947 01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:45,080 y'all who persecute me. I'm going to look to my left. 948 01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:47,360 And say you going to come with me today? 949 01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:50,920 I'm going to let you in. Because I got the keys. 950 01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:54,400 What? Dude, we got the keys. 951 01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:58,640 We got the keys, guys. We got the keys. 952 01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:04,560 What are we doing with the keys? You can't lock people out with 953 01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:08,720 the keys. You have keys to open doors. 954 01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:21,360 You got keys to bind and loose. Preach the gospel, somebody. 955 01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:23,000 Shout out. Preach the gospel. 956 01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:31,280 But not everybody. Welcomes the good news. 957 01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:35,120 That ain't just what I'm saying. That's what that's what Paul 958 01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:39,040 said. As Isaiah said, Lord, is there 959 01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,240 anyone? Who hears the belief and 960 01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:46,040 believes our message? So faith comes by hearing, and 961 01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:48,760 what is heard comes by preaching. 962 01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:56,480 So if the devil already telling me I'm jacked up, then you come 963 01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,480 with the key of life in your mouth and tell me I'm jacked up. 964 01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,720 Guess what? I got faith to believe I'm 965 01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,920 jacked up. But if I can can, if I can come 966 01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:09,280 back the devil's voice in your life and tell you the good news 967 01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:13,240 eventually what you hear over and over and over again you 968 01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,319 build the faith for. So how about we got to preach 969 01:08:16,319 --> 01:08:19,760 the gospel into the darkness until faith rise for them to 970 01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:23,640 come out. Come on, come on, come on. 971 01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:25,040 I know, come on, come on, come on. 972 01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:28,960 So faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God, the 973 01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,600 mess. Watch this by preach by the 974 01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:34,359 preaching watch this is very important. 975 01:08:34,359 --> 01:08:39,840 Let's read this slow by the preaching of the message that 976 01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:45,479 came from the lips of Christ, the Messiah himself. 977 01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:51,520 The message we preach is the message he preached. 978 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:57,960 He tells us what he preached. He said I came to preach the the 979 01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:05,279 the gospel of of the Kingdom. What is the gospel of the 980 01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:08,920 Kingdom? Watch how simple this is guys. 981 01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:13,680 Whoever calls on the name of Jesus shall be saved, period. 982 01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:26,399 Whoever calls on the name of Jesus believes that shall be 983 01:09:26,399 --> 01:09:29,000 saved and believes in their heart. 984 01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:30,560 How do you believe in your heart? 985 01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,240 How does faith come? It comes by hearing. 986 01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,000 So if I'm in the world, I don't know about you in the world. 987 01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,240 I heard bad news every day. I was the bad news. 988 01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:41,279 I was a part of the bad news. I, I, I opened the door for 989 01:09:41,279 --> 01:09:44,080 condemnation. The devil beat me up until I 990 01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:47,760 partnered with him. So I know how to feel bad about 991 01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:50,760 myself and my sin. I anybody been condemned before? 992 01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:52,479 Anybody. I felt shame before. 993 01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:56,640 I felt shame before. But what I had a grandmama I 994 01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,520 went home to. I walk in drunk. 995 01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,520 She smelled of liquor.

What did she do? 1002 01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:36,200 She went to church. Some people got probably go to 1003 01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,000 church all day because they got all day. 1004 01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,760 They got all like, like, like they got they they won't. 1005 01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:42,600 They family saved that bad.

You get what I'm saying, huh? 1040 01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:55,640 All right, the Bible warns us. In these last days. 1041 01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,280 Holy Spirit distinctly and expressly declares that in 1042 01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,520 latter times some will turn away from the faith, giving attention 1043 01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:06,920 to deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach 1044 01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:12,080 through the hypocrisy and pretensions of liars whose 1045 01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:18,960 consciences are seared. We really need to get to the 1046 01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:23,240 gospel guys. Watch this John 316. 1047 01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:24,800 You do you need to put that up. Do you have you do. 1048 01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:26,920 I'm just treat everybody just was born today. 1049 01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:30,600 We got to elementary. So I'm going to give you John 1050 01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:37,880 316, Romans 10/13, Ephesians 28. Yeah. 1051 01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:39,200 Let's go there. I'm about to. 1052 01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:41,480 I'm about to shoot them to you as soon as you put them up. 1053 01:13:41,480 --> 01:13:45,280 We going for God so greatly loved and dearly prized the 1054 01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:46,400 world. Did he say the church? 1055 01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:49,920 No, he said the world that he even gave up his only begotten 1056 01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,680 unique son. So that whoever somebody shout 1057 01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:54,920 out whoever. Come on, somebody shout out 1058 01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:58,560 whoever. Whoever it's for everybody 1059 01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:03,520 believes in trust in clings to, relies on. 1060 01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:07,640 He didn't say whoever changes, whoever put the bottle down, 1061 01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:11,120 whoever put the smoke down, whoever closed their legs, 1062 01:14:11,440 --> 01:14:16,320 whoever go from homosexual to heterosexual, he shall not No, 1063 01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:18,680 no, no, no. Don't get me wrong, 1064 01:14:19,440 --> 01:14:26,240 homosexuality, many other things are not in the character of God 1065 01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:28,680 based on the word. So I'm just choosing to believe 1066 01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:35,640 a word but no one can change that person except for Jesus. 1067 01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:41,040 This is my point. I am not saying that a behavior 1068 01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:45,120 or a lifestyle is OK. What I am saying is you don't 1069 01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:52,360 lead with that. Get more mad at the devil then 1070 01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:57,640 you are a people, man. Some look, some kids really do 1071 01:14:57,680 --> 01:14:59,560 you did.

But the bountiful free gift of 1277 01:27:57,480 --> 01:28:02,480 God. Are we reading the same thing? 1278 01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:06,320 The wages sin pays the death, but the bountiful free gift, 1279 01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:11,560 It's the union with Jesus. It's eternal life. 1280 01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:14,160 Is there? Is there? 1281 01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:16,840 Christ our Lord. Hey man, next one. 1282 01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:20,600 What? Which one is this? 1283 01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:26,320 Hebrews 9. OK, we will do it like the old 1284 01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:28,240 school Pentecostal church. You're just going to read out 1285 01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:30,000 the scripture that I'm going to read it and we just going to 1286 01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:32,880 holler back at each other. Even so, it is that Christ 1287 01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:37,840 having been offered to take up on himself and bear as a burden 1288 01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:41,880 the sins of many once and for Can y'all help me understand 1289 01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:47,840 what's what's once and for all? Adams was the one where you had 1290 01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:50,560 to keep. You have to keep repaying the 1291 01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:52,240 law, right? You have to keep repaying all 1292 01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:54,040 the time. Every once a year you got. 1293 01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:56,120 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, once and for all. 1294 01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:58,680 So if Jesus said he's it's settled, then it's what it's 1295 01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:04,560 settled. Man once and for all will appear 1296 01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:08,040 a second time, not to carry any burden of sin, nor to deal with 1297 01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:10,680 sin, but to bring the full self. He's going, He's going to 1298 01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:13,920 return, but not to take care of sin. 1299 01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:16,320 He's coming the second time to deal with death. 1300 01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:21,480 He's already conquered the bridges of sin. 1301 01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:26,240 When he returns, there will be no more death, no more sickness, 1302 01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:29,760 there will be nothing that. Causes it's eternal life. 1303 01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:38,600 Keep on verse down to one watch this, watch this, watch this my 1304 01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:41,160 little children. I write these so that you may 1305 01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:46,760 not violate God's law and sin. But if anyone should sin, we 1306 01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:50,440 have an advocate, one who will intercede for us with the 1307 01:29:50,440 --> 01:29:52,960 Father. It is Jesus Christ the All 1308 01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:56,600 righteous upright just who conforms to the Father's if 1309 01:29:56,680 --> 01:30:02,520 anybody do sin, just in case we got somebody to take your place. 1310 01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:06,920 Keep going, keep going. Keep going. 1311 01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:09,120 Keep.

Tell them all these things. 1340 01:32:01,440 --> 01:32:05,480 Urge, advise, encourage, warn and rebuke with full authority. 1341 01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:12,840 Let no one despise or disregard. What? 1342 01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:20,960 OK, who gave himself on our behalf, that He might redeem us, 1343 01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:26,120 purchase our freedom from all iniquity, and purify for himself 1344 01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:34,400 a people? He purified us for himself. 1345 01:32:35,720 --> 01:32:37,600 Eager. And enthusiastic about living a 1346 01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:41,440 life that is good and filled with beneficial deeds. 1347 01:32:41,640 --> 01:32:45,240 Good news What's the next one? Good news? 1348 01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:51,080 Titus 3 but when when the goodness and loving kindness of 1349 01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:53,960 God our Savior to man as what is this too? 1350 01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:57,200 This was what are you doing comes to somebody take his all 1351 01:32:57,200 --> 01:32:58,600 right, all right, all right, I'm just read it. 1352 01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:01,440 I'm trusting you right now. But when the goodness and loving 1353 01:33:01,440 --> 01:33:05,200 kindness of God our Savior to man as man appeared. 1354 01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:10,480 He saved us not because of any works of righteousness. 1355 01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:17,360 That we had done, but because of His own pity and mercy, by the 1356 01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:22,240 cleansing bath of the new birth, regeneration, and renewing of 1357 01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:25,480 the Holy Spirit. Oh, He's doing the work in US 1358 01:33:25,480 --> 01:33:30,120 which He poured out so richly upon us through Jesus Christ our 1359 01:33:30,120 --> 01:33:32,080 Savior. Keep going. 1360 01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:36,640 And He did it in order. He did it in order that we might 1361 01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:40,880 be justified by His grace, by His favor, holy or entirely 1362 01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:45,640 undeserved, that we might be acknowledged and counted as 1363 01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:49,280 conformed to the divine will and purpose thought in action, and 1364 01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:54,560 that we might become heirs. Keep going. 1365 01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:03,840 He personally bore our sins In what is it? 1366 01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:07,040 There we go. He personally bore our sins in 1367 01:34:07,040 --> 01:34:18,040 His own body. He bore our sins in his own 1368 01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:19,520 body. Why are you making people bear 1369 01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:25,920 it? Don't mean that I beat my sin. 1370 01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:28,000 I get to be like, who cares? No, I don't take. 1371 01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:32,480 His grace in vain. The Bible talks about that as on 1372 01:34:32,480 --> 01:34:37,160 the altar and offered himself on it, that we might die, cease to 1373 01:34:37,480 --> 01:34:40,560 exist to sin, and live to righteously. 1374 01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:42,480 See this. When you get a revelation of 1375 01:34:42,480 --> 01:34:44,480 what He did for you, that's what changes you. 1376 01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:49,440 And if you have not yet received Jesus, you don't have the 1377 01:34:49,440 --> 01:34:52,720 capacity to understand what He did for you. 1378 01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:56,840 Therefore, the only thing you can relate to is someone that 1379 01:34:56,840 --> 01:35:00,160 means something to you or you can relate to and they become a 1380 01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:04,480 witness in your life. And then they show you what? 1381 01:35:04,480 --> 01:35:08,880 God has done for them. Keep going, keep going. 1382 01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:10,440 Let me give you a couple more. Come on, come on. 1383 01:35:10,560 --> 01:35:11,800 I just, there's some good stuff in here. 1384 01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:15,520 There's some good stuff in here. First, either not because of us, 1385 01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:16,640 but he died. Yeah. 1386 01:35:16,640 --> 01:35:19,000 Romans 81-GO. Romans 81. 1387 01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:24,840 Let's start there. This is so good, and this is 1388 01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:25,920 love. And this is love. 1389 01:35:25,920 --> 01:35:30,960 Not that we love God, not that we love God, this is love, but 1390 01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:34,960 that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation, the 1391 01:35:35,080 --> 01:35:43,920 atoning boom. The atoning boom, there's still 1392 01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:48,560 a boom on there. Come on, sacrifice for our sins, 1393 01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:52,720 Amen. OK, next one. 1394 01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:57,200 Therefore, there is now no condemnation, no a judge in 1395 01:35:57,200 --> 01:36:01,480 guilty of wrong for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live 1396 01:36:01,480 --> 01:36:06,360 right, he says in Christ Jesus. This is the good news man, when 1397 01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:10,160 you step over here, even though you still jacked up and you are 1398 01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:14,640 beginning the regeneration process, you have the time to 1399 01:36:14,640 --> 01:36:18,920 work it out because the moment you receive Jesus you are 1400 01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:22,840 sharing seats with Him. You are cleansed that day. 1401 01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:26,440 You not cleansed. I don't still got sin stank on 1402 01:36:26,480 --> 01:36:30,600 me. The first day I received Jesus I 1403 01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:34,120 was considered clean. Watch this, which then gives me 1404 01:36:34,120 --> 01:36:41,760 the power to walk with serpents under my feet and giving me the 1405 01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:47,920 power to work out my salvation. So everybody in here still got 1406 01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:48,920 some. Stank on them. 1407 01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:52,480 But what's what The enemy watch this. 1408 01:36:52,480 --> 01:36:59,960 What the devil reads is the blood right in in in when 1409 01:36:59,960 --> 01:37:02,680 they're fighting in wars, they have people that cover them 1410 01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:08,680 while they gain ground. You are you anybody hearing me? 1411 01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:13,240 The blood covers you while you gain ground. 1412 01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:23,200 Can I, am I talking to anybody? Go Isaiah fit? 1413 01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:33,960 Was that Romans 81? So Isaiah 54, Romans 10/11 That 1414 01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:38,160 is so good. I'm going home loved. 1415 01:37:38,800 --> 01:37:40,960 Fear not. What's this one? 1416 01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:48,920 Fear not, or you shall not be ashamed, neither be confounded 1417 01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:53,360 and depressed, for you shall not be put to shame, for you shall 1418 01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:58,160 forget the shame of your youth, and you shall not seriously 1419 01:37:58,160 --> 01:38:02,440 remember the reproach of your your widowhood any more. 1420 01:38:13,470 --> 01:38:16,150 Which one is this? When you turn it, brother, just 1421 01:38:16,150 --> 01:38:18,270 shout it out, OK? Romans 1011 There we go, we 1422 01:38:18,270 --> 01:38:21,030 almost done. The scripture says no man who 1423 01:38:21,030 --> 01:38:25,070 believes in him, who adheres to, relies on and trust in him, will 1424 01:38:25,070 --> 01:38:33,480 ever be put to shame. That's the good news, like we 1425 01:38:33,480 --> 01:38:36,960 got the best deal to offer anybody in the world and we'd be 1426 01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:42,600 selling it. Like it's just like they look to 1427 01:38:42,600 --> 01:38:45,760 him. Oh, sorry, there we go. 1428 01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:49,320 They look to him and were they look to him and was radiant. 1429 01:38:49,480 --> 01:38:53,920 You see this? They focused on Jesus and they 1430 01:38:53,920 --> 01:38:58,920 were radiant. Their faces shall never blush 1431 01:38:59,080 --> 01:39:02,880 for shame or be confused. They fixed. 1432 01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:06,520 Their eyes on him, and they were radiant. 1433 01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:15,280 Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you. 1434 01:39:15,400 --> 01:39:19,760 I will save the limping ones and gather the outcast. 1435 01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:26,360 I will gather the outcast and I'm going to make them a praise 1436 01:39:26,360 --> 01:39:29,840 and a name in every. Have you ever looked at someone 1437 01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:35,440 who lives on the other side of yo-yo yo thought life don't look 1438 01:39:35,440 --> 01:39:40,360 like you and ever thought that that jacked up person today that 1439 01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:42,920 there's a praise God is trying to get out of their life. 1440 01:39:44,440 --> 01:39:47,600 This is what the heart of a true soul winner is is they look at 1441 01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:52,120 the outcasts and the downtrodden and they said or or let me the 1442 01:39:52,120 --> 01:39:55,120 bones, the dry bones. They look at the dry bones and 1443 01:39:55,120 --> 01:39:58,080 they say, and this is the watch Jesus question. 1444 01:39:59,480 --> 01:40:02,200 This is how you should approach every lost person. 1445 01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:07,360 Do you think that this person can live? 1446 01:40:08,640 --> 01:40:11,720 Your father may have abandoned you, Terrence. 1447 01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:14,360 But do you when you? Look at your father who 1448 01:40:14,360 --> 01:40:17,600 abandoned you. Do you see? 1449 01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:21,040 That he can live, that's the question. 1450 01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:25,360 If you think he can live, then change your approach. 1451 01:40:26,120 --> 01:40:29,280 If you think what what did he say to Ezekiel? 1452 01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:34,400 If you think he could live, then prophecy speak life. 1453 01:40:34,520 --> 01:40:36,560 No. If you think what's watch this, 1454 01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:40,560 what's coming out of your mouth speaks to what you believe. 1455 01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:53,650 Can come out of their life and you could just run those 1456 01:40:53,650 --> 01:41:04,440 less. Oh man, behold, I'm laying in 1457 01:41:04,440 --> 01:41:09,120 Zion a chosen, honored, precious chief cornerstone, and he who 1458 01:41:09,120 --> 01:41:14,480 believes in him, trust in and relies on him, shall never be 1459 01:41:14,480 --> 01:41:17,760 disappointed. That's the good news, that if 1460 01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:19,960 you try this life, you'll never be disappointed. 1461 01:41:24,320 --> 01:41:28,440 In this freedom, Christ has made us free and completely liberated 1462 01:41:28,440 --> 01:41:31,440 us. Stand fast then, and do not be 1463 01:41:31,440 --> 01:41:36,400 Hanford and held ensnared, and submit again to a yoke of 1464 01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:39,640 slavery, which you have one. You see this, You see? 1465 01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:41,440 He said. Now you've entered. 1466 01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:54,300 Don't go back. You're free, but you shall be 1467 01:41:54,300 --> 01:41:58,060 called priests of the Lord. People will speak of you as the 1468 01:41:58,060 --> 01:42:02,640 ministers of our God. You shall eat the wealth of the 1469 01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:06,880 nations, and the glory, once that of your captors shall be 1470 01:42:06,880 --> 01:42:10,280 yours instead of your former. Shame. 1471 01:42:11,440 --> 01:42:14,560 You shall have a 2 fold recompense Double for your 1472 01:42:14,560 --> 01:42:17,320 trouble. Instead of dishonor and 1473 01:42:17,320 --> 01:42:22,600 reproach. Your people shall rejoice in 1474 01:42:22,600 --> 01:42:25,360 their portion. Therefore in their land they 1475 01:42:25,360 --> 01:42:28,960 shall possess double. Somebody say double y'all see 1476 01:42:28,960 --> 01:42:37,680 that what they had forfeited everlasting joy shall be theirs. 1477 01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:42,680 Come on, somebody. Come on, somebody. 1478 01:42:50,610 --> 01:42:55,010 The Holy Spirit and the Bride, the Church, the true Christians 1479 01:42:55,050 --> 01:43:00,120 say, can y'all help me with this? 1480 01:43:00,320 --> 01:43:03,640 He said the Holy Spirit and the. Bride, the Church and the true 1481 01:43:03,640 --> 01:43:06,160 Christians, this is what comes out of your mouth. 1482 01:43:06,440 --> 01:43:11,880 Come. Watch it and let him who is 1483 01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:18,520 listening say, Come, and let everyone come who is thirsty, 1484 01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:22,640 who is painfully conscious of his need of those things by 1485 01:43:22,640 --> 01:43:26,720 which the soul is refreshed, supported, and strengthened. 1486 01:43:26,720 --> 01:43:30,800 And whoever earnestly desires to do it, let him what come. 1487 01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:36,480 Take appropriate and drink. Take appropriate and drink the 1488 01:43:36,480 --> 01:43:39,520 water of life. Watch it without cause. 1489 01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:45,160 Shout out. Come listen. 1490 01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:54,160 No, you, you listen to me. Listen, listen. 1491 01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:57,720 This is what should be coming out of our mouths. 1492 01:43:57,720 --> 01:44:02,880 Any platform God gives us, it is an invitation. 1493 01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:05,120 Sons and daughters, we got this basket. 1494 01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:10,560 Sons and daughters coming home, don't forget that you put people 1495 01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:12,440 watch this. Don't forget you put people in 1496 01:44:12,440 --> 01:44:16,040 that basket and how you talk to other people. 1497 01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:22,880 It impacts that harvest in that basket because guess what? 1498 01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:26,320 You talking to somebody's son, you talking to somebody's 1499 01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:28,920 daughter. Now, I don't know if you believe 1500 01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:31,760 in, I don't know if you got a soul winning list, but I got 1501 01:44:31,760 --> 01:44:34,880 family members and friends that I am believing to not just come 1502 01:44:35,160 --> 01:44:37,960 to church, but to come to know Jesus. 1503 01:44:39,280 --> 01:44:47,160 Come on, Luke 2332, you close there. 1504 01:44:47,360 --> 01:44:52,040 I am believing and how I treat you impacts the harvest I'm 1505 01:44:52,040 --> 01:45:01,140 believing for. We read that earlier. 1506 01:45:01,140 --> 01:45:03,900 It's good. It impacts. 1507 01:45:04,900 --> 01:45:09,620 It all works together, guys. I can't talk crazy to you out of 1508 01:45:09,620 --> 01:45:11,940 the same heart. I'm believing for something else 1509 01:45:13,360 --> 01:45:18,600 like this. I got one, I got one heart, I 1510 01:45:18,600 --> 01:45:23,520 got one inner man. So I I can't be believing or 1511 01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:26,280 loving or whatever the case may be. 1512 01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:31,440 But also, how's this nasty side, right? 1513 01:45:31,440 --> 01:45:35,760 James talks about this, this, this tongue, you wait one, one 1514 01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:38,120 part of your mouth, you praise me and another part of your 1515 01:45:38,120 --> 01:45:40,560 mouth. You just killing folks. 1516 01:45:41,800 --> 01:45:51,210 You speak at death, guys, we got the best deal on the planet, 1517 01:45:51,930 --> 01:45:52,770 right? Watch this. 1518 01:45:53,010 --> 01:45:55,050 When you know you won, there's nothing to argue. 1519 01:45:57,730 --> 01:46:00,210 I don't think Jesus just he, he was silent because he was a 1520 01:46:00,210 --> 01:46:02,730 punk. He was silent because it wasn't 1521 01:46:02,730 --> 01:46:04,930 nothing to argue. We won. 1522 01:46:05,730 --> 01:46:08,890 He believed the outcome. Do you? 1523 01:46:09,530 --> 01:46:11,610 He believed the word about himself. 1524 01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:15,400 He believed the prophets, he believed what his father said. 1525 01:46:15,640 --> 01:46:21,040 He was led by the Spirit of God. So we either got the greatest 1526 01:46:21,120 --> 01:46:28,280 offer in the world or we don't. You either believe that God can 1527 01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:31,280 turn that situation around or you don't. 1528 01:46:32,680 --> 01:46:35,200 If you believe your marriage can work, you can believe, but if 1529 01:46:35,200 --> 01:46:39,000 you believe it, then you align your mouth and watch it and your 1530 01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:41,200 actions. He said you were saved because 1531 01:46:41,200 --> 01:46:44,240 you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart. 1532 01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:48,800 It means you have to have a tongue and heart correlated. 1533 01:46:48,800 --> 01:46:51,640 They have to align. You can't. 1534 01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:54,400 I believe, I believe, I can believe, but in your heart. 1535 01:46:56,320 --> 01:47:00,120 So what's the work that you have to do to get your tongue and 1536 01:47:00,120 --> 01:47:04,080 your heart aligned? You believe God or you don't? 1537 01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:11,320 And I believe when we see people, man, who are God's 1538 01:47:11,320 --> 01:47:15,360 children, we got to be very careful of how we are 1539 01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:17,960 ambassadors and we speak on God's behalf. 1540 01:47:18,280 --> 01:47:24,600 And it's why it's very dangerous to mix the gospel with with 1541 01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:26,600 politics. You can't. 1542 01:47:26,600 --> 01:47:30,120 They're separate. The gospel is of a Kingdom 1543 01:47:30,120 --> 01:47:35,200 itself, so I can't blend worldly Kingdom and heavenly Kingdom 1544 01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:38,680 together. The outcome is not fruitful. 1545 01:47:44,250 --> 01:47:57,810 So church, our vision is love, equip and mobilize to serve all 1546 01:47:59,720 --> 01:48:01,720 this word right here is not for this. 1547 01:48:01,880 --> 01:48:04,760 This is I'm taking my time. We haven't, but this is serious 1548 01:48:04,760 --> 01:48:07,800 because I'm trying to give you the tools that when you go out 1549 01:48:07,800 --> 01:48:10,280 in this world, there's people you are going to reach that I 1550 01:48:10,280 --> 01:48:14,520 can't that your neighbor can you got family members that get on 1551 01:48:14,520 --> 01:48:16,960 your nerves. But the gospel, man, if you 1552 01:48:16,960 --> 01:48:21,400 focus on the gospel, then you will have a good enough spirit 1553 01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:23,880 to contend with that you will start seeing people that's 1554 01:48:24,080 --> 01:48:27,480 that's that's wearing on you as like man, they must be in so 1555 01:48:27,480 --> 01:48:30,360 much darkness. Let me be the light. 1556 01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:34,440 Let me be the light. Let me not put a lamp shade. 1557 01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:41,240 Let me just shine so bright. The darker there the darkness if 1558 01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:44,640 the darker they're in, or the darkness that they're in if it's 1559 01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:45,720 so. Bad. 1560 01:48:46,240 --> 01:48:49,880 Guess what can combat it? Making the light so good. 1561 01:48:51,400 --> 01:48:54,720 Yeah, it's hard, but he said what good is it that you love 1562 01:48:54,720 --> 01:48:57,960 somebody who love you? That's what Jesus said. 1563 01:48:59,640 --> 01:49:07,800 Say love your enemies, forgive them. 70 * 7 Are we the church 1564 01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:14,000 or what? US going to heaven don't make us 1565 01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:20,960 the church. What make us the Church is the 1566 01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:25,600 ekklesia that we govern here on earth as it is in heaven, that 1567 01:49:25,600 --> 01:49:29,640 we use our keys properly, and that we reflect His love. 1568 01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:34,400 And as you get tested this week, I. 1569 01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:36,120 Wonder if your response would be different. 1570 01:49:36,120 --> 01:49:42,680 Than last week. Watch this you don't got to pray 1571 01:49:42,680 --> 01:49:45,840 to love in the sense you don't got to pray about it to give 1572 01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:51,680 love like love people and once they're one guess. 1573 01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:57,240 What you could do it's like once you get a fish in the boat, you 1574 01:49:57,240 --> 01:50:02,440 can start purging and getting them ready to what be served. 1575 01:50:05,800 --> 01:50:09,000 But you got that fish all in the water trying to cut them and 1576 01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:13,520 they flapping. Win the soul. 1577 01:50:14,520 --> 01:50:23,320 Get them out their environment. Let them rest when you go into. 1578 01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:28,960 Rehab first day. They ain't talking about the 1579 01:50:28,960 --> 01:50:32,520 root issue. You detoxing? 1580 01:50:33,520 --> 01:50:35,320 Do you know how hard it is to detox? 1581 01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:40,440 Some people leave, like stay on the drugs. 1582 01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:44,200 So do you think someone who has lived that way and who has been 1583 01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:53,560 convinced that they are this way or that way, you can't? 1584 01:50:53,560 --> 01:50:57,840 Lead with that, got to lead with the grace of God. 1585 01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:03,760 And then as we get into discipleship now we can begin to 1586 01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:08,960 become more like Christ. The standard is higher, 1587 01:51:09,640 --> 01:51:15,080 accountability is higher, because the point is to get us 1588 01:51:15,080 --> 01:51:19,680 right so we can go back out there into places. 1589 01:51:21,080 --> 01:51:24,640 So in a couple weeks we go on the Gilton Co, they're going to 1590 01:51:24,640 --> 01:51:27,400 have a full bar. I ain't drinking because I'm 1591 01:51:27,400 --> 01:51:29,360 free. I'm not even tempted by the 1592 01:51:29,360 --> 01:51:32,040 drink. It actually stinketh to me. 1593 01:51:33,880 --> 01:51:35,720 Right? We're going. 1594 01:51:35,720 --> 01:51:37,360 Why do we go out here? You want to know what the 1595 01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:38,960 mission and the vision is? Ain't coming here. 1596 01:51:39,080 --> 01:51:41,760 Equip No. In school we used to go on field 1597 01:51:41,760 --> 01:51:45,760 trips right when if you're going to be a cop, you got to do some 1598 01:51:45,760 --> 01:51:50,000 ride alongs. So guess what, we going, we 1599 01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,640 going and we going. And I don't know if y'all saw 1600 01:51:53,360 --> 01:51:57,160 but they had a band in there singing Kirk Franklin and they 1601 01:51:57,160 --> 01:51:59,600 wasn't doing gospel before they they told us we couldn't come 1602 01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:02,280 back for a while because we was because I prayed up in there. 1603 01:52:02,440 --> 01:52:06,280 Now singing a Kirk Franklin song and praying and rebuking demons 1604 01:52:06,280 --> 01:52:07,840 in the club is a little different. 1605 01:52:08,040 --> 01:52:09,880 But the point is that they got us back. 1606 01:52:10,160 --> 01:52:13,480 They gave us Friday night for Thanksgiving weekend. 1607 01:52:13,480 --> 01:52:19,240 That's a prime night. And I believe we broke some 1608 01:52:19,240 --> 01:52:22,640 stuff in there that now when they hear gospels music like 1609 01:52:22,640 --> 01:52:24,600 people was dancing. What song was that dude? 1610 01:52:24,600 --> 01:52:25,760 What song was that they were singing? 1611 01:52:26,440 --> 01:52:32,000 Love theory they were talking about God's love in the club and 1612 01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:33,720 they were so blind watch spiritual. 1613 01:52:33,720 --> 01:52:35,160 They don't know. They don't know what they sing 1614 01:52:35,160 --> 01:52:39,040 it probably some drunk girl was looking at her husband just like 1615 01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:40,640 you. My love girl just thought it was 1616 01:52:40,640 --> 01:52:45,880 a RB song.

And I remember nights full of 1699 02:05:24,880 --> 02:05:28,600 shame and waking up in a bed next to someone like, How did I? 1700 02:05:29,080 --> 02:05:33,480 Well, you know how I got there? It's like what my soul, 1701 02:05:33,480 --> 02:05:39,000 something living in this world without the Lord is very heavy. 1702 02:05:43,480 --> 02:05:51,360 That's why we got marijuana stores, almost more marijuana 1703 02:05:51,360 --> 02:06:05,080 stores than churches. Marijuana stores is the new 1704 02:06:05,080 --> 02:06:09,040 church where you can get the most high. 1705 02:06:18,230 --> 02:06:21,990 How did they know that this would be a boom because they 1706 02:06:21,990 --> 02:06:26,230 know people are in darkness church. 1707 02:06:26,990 --> 02:06:30,790 Did the did the marijuana store give them something that was 1708 02:06:32,240 --> 02:06:36,240 hey, they package it real pretty right? 1709 02:06:36,240 --> 02:06:38,040 They even make chocolates and gummies. 1710 02:06:38,040 --> 02:06:49,560 And however I got a church, as I mentioned last week, we're not 1711 02:06:52,640 --> 02:06:55,920 minimizing sin or giving permission to that. 1712 02:06:56,360 --> 02:07:03,960 But as we read like he paid for it all though he paid for it. 1713 02:07:05,400 --> 02:07:11,040 And so we I what I do believe is that we have to be louder about 1714 02:07:11,040 --> 02:07:17,160 his grace and his love. Then we are about this prideful 1715 02:07:17,160 --> 02:07:21,520 Christianity that we can point out other people's faults and 1716 02:07:21,520 --> 02:07:27,600 make it so loud and shame people that even those that are sitting 1717 02:07:27,600 --> 02:07:33,720 there watching you reign, people condemn people. 1718 02:07:34,480 --> 02:07:37,360 They're now afraid to take a risk with God. 1719 02:07:39,400 --> 02:07:44,480 So if you just get a chance to show the love of God, I promise 1720 02:07:44,480 --> 02:07:49,520 you, even if that person is incapable of loving you back, I 1721 02:07:49,520 --> 02:07:52,480 promise you God has a reward for you. 1722 02:07:54,200 --> 02:08:00,720 If you can be diligent about love, 9 times out of 10, the 1723 02:08:00,720 --> 02:08:05,680 person he's calling you to love is incapable to love you how you 1724 02:08:05,680 --> 02:08:11,360 desire to be loved, just like you were when he died for you. 1725 02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:17,680 But it's the kindness of God, the relentless kindness of God 1726 02:08:17,680 --> 02:08:23,360 that leads us so patiently to repentance. 1727 02:08:24,520 --> 02:08:28,640 Promise you the love of God is the most powerful weapon on 1728 02:08:28,640 --> 02:08:33,560 planet earth.

But they're here. 1736 02:09:09,920 --> 02:09:20,000 Or lest we forget, undeserving favor. 1737 02:09:21,120 --> 02:09:26,880 Mercy, goodness and mercy, you follow us all the days of our 1738 02:09:26,880 --> 02:09:28,840 lives, and we say thank you for the gift. 1739 02:09:30,360 --> 02:09:35,280 Thank you for never giving up on us, thank you for always keeping 1740 02:09:35,280 --> 02:09:40,320 the door open, thank you for stretching wide, and we even 1741 02:09:40,320 --> 02:09:44,080 thank you for not saying a word on our behalf. 1742 02:09:46,360 --> 02:09:49,440 You could have called on a legion of angels on that cross, 1743 02:09:50,240 --> 02:09:55,280 but you chose not to flex and instead you did one of the 1744 02:09:55,280 --> 02:10:01,680 biggest flexes on Hell and that was to forgive your enemies 1745 02:10:02,240 --> 02:10:05,480 instead of trying to. Prove you was the Christ. 1746 02:10:05,840 --> 02:10:10,560 I hope y'all heard me. He could have flexed the power 1747 02:10:10,560 --> 02:10:17,280 he had legions it says. But instead he flexed by 1748 02:10:17,280 --> 02:10:21,200 shutting his mouth and saying I forgive you. 1749 02:10:22,360 --> 02:10:24,800 Now watch this.
