-
A man certainly thankful to be in the house of
-
the Lord. I agree with everything pastor has said, and
-
I support him doing the Lord's work because we get
-
to have him twelve months out of the year. I
-
believe it's all right if somebody else receives help. It's
-
a shame, though, that that somebody in that area couldn't.
-
But God uses his people that are willing, and we're
-
certainly thankful to have them home. I love my parents
-
and my pastor first and foremost. He is my pastor,
-
and I'm thankful for this opportunity. I respect him highly well,
-
thank you for your giving. May the Lord richly bless
-
you accordingly you can be. Turning to the Book of Matthew,
-
chapter number seven, his pastor said, the Lord definitely has
-
dealt with us, and I believe he's going to speak
-
to somebody. I pray that he uses me. I've spent
-
a lot of time in prayer about this. I've had
-
it on my heart for several several days, several weeks probably,
-
and when I got this study and this it just
-
the Lord just helped us to him be the praise
-
and the glory and the honor we give him. The
-
praise for it. It's all for the benefit of his kingdom,
-
all free him. I'm certainly thankful for this opportunity again.
-
But let's look here in Matthew chapter seven and verse
-
twenty one, we'll read here to Verse twenty three says,
-
not everyone saith the Lord unto me, Lord Lord, even
-
hang on, let's restart there. I want to make sure
-
we get this across properly. Not everyone that saith unto me,
-
Lord Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven. But
-
he that doeth the will of my father will in heaven.
-
Many will say to me in that day, Lord Lord,
-
have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy
-
name have cast out devils, and in thy name done
-
many wonderful works? Then will I profess unto them? This
-
is Jesus speaking here, says, Then will I profess to
-
unto them? I never knew ye depart from me, ye
-
that work iniquity. Turn over to Luke chapter number thirteen,
-
verse number twenty four. Strive to enter into that straight gate.
-
Strive to enter in at the straight gate. For many,
-
I say unto you will seek to enter in and
-
shall not be able when the master. When the Master
-
of the house has risen up and has shut to
-
the door. And ye begin to stand without and knock
-
at the door, saying, Lord Lord, open unto us, and
-
he shall end certain say unto you, I know not
-
whence ye are. Then shall ye begin to say, we
-
have eaten and drank in thy presence, and now has
-
taught in our streets. But he shall say, uh, He
-
shall say, I tell you I know not, whence ye
-
are depart from me? All ye workers of iniquity, would
-
you lift your hands tonight and ask God to help
-
us here? We ask him. We need this anointing. God, Almighty.
-
We ask you right now in the name of Jesus, Lord,
-
thank you God, to please Lord, touch us God in
-
a special way.
-
God. We plead Lord.
-
God for the anointing from God, Almighty God. We need you,
-
Lord God. It is within you Lord that we live
-
and move God and have our being Lord and our strength.
-
Lord God. Ask you to touch your soul God in
-
the heart God, and let us leave here God change
-
o Lord God in help Lord, by you God and
-
through you, y'ad, Oh Mighty Lord, We'll be sure y'all
-
to give you the praise and the honor and the
-
glory Lord, and we thank you for it. God in
-
the church said Amen. For a short little while tonight,
-
I plan to be as quick as the Lord will
-
allow me to be. We want the Lord to have
-
his way.
-
But I would like to.
-
Preach on rejected replicas. Rejected replicas, and I think we're
-
all pretty familiar with what a replica is. It is
-
something that is made extremely close to another thing. So
-
if you have an original, then you have a knockoff.
-
But both of these passages the scripture that we just
-
read here tonight, are found in the New Testament book
-
of the Bible. Matthew seven is a conclusion of the
-
Sermon on the Mount. And I'm sure when reading these
-
passages of scriptures we all noted the similarities in these
-
two scriptures that we just read depart from me ye
-
that work iniquity, depart from me ye workers of iniquity,
-
pretty much word for word. This is recorded by two
-
different authors. So this lets me know that these two
-
men did not just miraculously or somehow come up with
-
the same wording. That these two men definitely recorded at
-
the way it was said, there's no way around the Bible.
-
It is the truth that is all the truth. But
-
they recorded it word for word, and I remember a
-
quote that this. I remember quoting these words with my
-
dad as he preached as a little boy. I would
-
say this is probably one of the most memorized scriptured
-
passage of script from a young age. I remember quoting it,
-
like I said, from my with my along my dad
-
as he preached, or some other preach. They would begin
-
to quote these and I would begin to say them
-
with them, because I honestly it was a good feeling
-
to feel like I knew a little bit of the
-
Bible there. But I've always thought of how terrible it
-
would be to hear these words, and with God's help,
-
I don't plan on ever hearing these words spoken to me.
-
I hope that I'm never in the presence of someone
-
that I love as he gives them the final ruling
-
to depart from me. Ye that work iniquity. I don't
-
want to ever experience that. I've been in a place
-
in my life. I'll be honest with you that if
-
something were to happen to me where I would have
-
lost my life, those probably more than likely would have
-
been the very words that I heard. But thank God,
-
I cried out unto the Lord, and he saved my soul.
-
We asked for a praying church. Sadly, there will be
-
many people in this world that here's depart from me,
-
the that work iniquity, and they'll suffer because of their
-
wicked ways. Something that has always stood out to me
-
in these scriptures. He's talking to those that claim to
-
have something. He's talking to church goers. He's talking to
-
those that claim to be prophesying and casting out devils
-
in his name. They're using his name as a seal
-
of approval for their actions in order to have people
-
believe them that they have something that they actually don't have,
-
and to kind of give you a little bit of
-
understanding here if you need it. I'm thankful we got
-
a bunch of Bible believers and people that understand the
-
word of the Lord. We're not living off of that
-
new King, James. But it's like this, whenever you're a
-
little kid, right, whoever done this? I know I was
-
guilty of this, so I'll just blame it on myself.
-
But you went to one of your siblings and you
-
knew good and well that what you were about to
-
tell them isn't what your Mama told you or your
-
dad told them told you to tell them. So you
-
went to them and said, hey, so and so you
-
better do this. And they said no, I ain't gonna
-
do that. And then you thought real quickly, you said, well,
-
dad said so. Well Mom said so, because you knew
-
that once they heard dad's name behind it or mom's
-
name behind it, that you would say, Okay, wait a minute, Okay,
-
I understand. Now I must do what I need to do.
-
And there's a lot of people in the churches nowadays
-
that are prophesying in God's name who were casting out devils.
-
If you in them, maybe not, I don't think so,
-
if they don't have the power of the Holy ghost.
-
But they're gonna say I cast out devils in your name.
-
I've done many works in your name. But the Lord
-
is gonna say I never knew you. But the reason
-
why they're doing this is because they are being a
-
replica of what should be. They're saying there because they
-
want people to come to their church because their money, huh,
-
because they want a fatter wallet.
-
But it's not what the Bible says. They're not doing
-
it right.
-
They're just a replica. They're just to rip off. They're
-
just wanting to grow their church. They're just wanting bigger
-
and better things. They're not thankful for the small things.
-
They're wanting to go faster in life than they should.
-
God help me, Lord. They say this for the benefit
-
of themselves, not for the benefit of the kingdom. They
-
say this for the amount of money. They say this
-
because of the amount of money that you will probably give.
-
There's a lot of preachers, so called preachers and TV
-
evangelists here that say you have to give this amount
-
of money now, or the Lord's gonna judge you if
-
you don't. The Lord said, give this amount of money
-
now so I can get a bigger and better plane.
-
But God will never ever ever tell someone to do
-
that that isn't a child of God, that isn't gonna
-
use it for the benefit of the kingdom.
-
He might lay something on your.
-
Heart, yes that's a saying of God, but he isn't
-
gonna tell you to do that to further the devil's kingdom.
-
God help us, Lord. Because of their lives, there's gonna
-
be a lot of people who get to judgment and
-
they're gonna hear God say, I never knew you because
-
of the lies of another preacher, because he made them
-
believe that he had something that he had when in
-
reality he really didn't. They will live their lives, their
-
whole life as a replica of a child of God.
-
But there are some things that you cannot have. A
-
knockoff and sanctification true blood of God born again, a
-
child of God is something that you cannot replicate. It
-
is not something that you can just say I am
-
one of them, and you'll be able to make it
-
into Heaven's gate. God will meet you right there when
-
you get there, and he will say, to part from me,
-
you've a reconiquity. Depart from me. You are a replica.
-
What should be to part from me?
-
Should you may?
-
You may speak in my name?
-
You might have used my name in vain.
-
If you say you're a child of God, the that
-
you is the devil, you are basically using the Lord's
-
name in vain.
-
You will say, I am a child of God. I
-
believe in the Word of God. But that you don't
-
rent to the standards. You don't rent to its believes.
-
You told aly like the Bible.
-
Says, help us, Holy God. They still get to those
-
that that preacher a replica religion. They preaching their people
-
it's okay to do certain things. It's okay to go
-
to it's okay to go to the movie house, it's
-
okay to put a little bit of parents underneath the skirt.
-
That is a replica of the world, not of our
-
religion and holiness, true blooded, bald holiness way. That is
-
a replica, that is a knockoff, that is identifying with
-
the world, not identifying with the Word of God.
-
Oh hallelujah.
-
They get.
-
They say, you can partake in things that's you alt,
-
that's you ought not to, but that is a replica.
-
Yelp us God. And this goes for so many churches
-
in the modern day holiness movement. They are now a
-
replica of what was something that was once genuine and true.
-
It is a replica.
-
And making a replicacause of something is to making as
-
close to the real thing as possible, to leave as
-
much as little doubt and as little questioning about it
-
as possible. And they run that when making a replica,
-
they try to make it to the finest extent, so
-
that the person that is buying that religion is food
-
and the person that.
-
Is buying that item is deceived. That way, they can.
-
Say, Lord Lord has said, Lord Lord said us all right,
-
you better be careful put in the Lord's name behind
-
your religion, behind something. Let does not sound upturn that
-
is not biblical. You can say, child, Lord Lord.
-
Said, it's okay. You better not lie to your children.
-
And say, Lord Lord, say the.
-
Thought right to it. That way, Lord Lord, say the
-
thing right.
-
That I sit here quiet, Lord Lord, say the so
-
right that I said.
-
At a.
-
Replica, you are not genuine. But those that create a replica,
-
in order to not get in trouble and to experience
-
some type of lawsuit, they have to leave some minor
-
detail out. The holiness movement started with minor details. They
-
started with small things, a lettle snip snip, put your
-
hair up.
-
They won't know thise my God, and we've.
-
Watched him all the time, as they had let her
-
be more and more knowliceable that hey, we are a ripoff.
-
Come as you are, be accepted as you are. Speak
-
with the same tongues.
-
But that is a knockoff.
-
That is not your brow gleat through rivera my God,
-
genuine holy little sanctification. This modern on, this movement y'all
-
bear with me. I got a lot to get to here.
-
This modern holness movement hasn't let up in small details.
-
They've made it obvious of their change.
-
They've let the world know.
-
And this sad thing is they identify more with the
-
world and they're so blind that they don't even realize
-
and they see their own selves that they are deify
-
mill of the world. Then they're dealing with the holiness way.
-
They do it to grow at church. But the world
-
sees the Hey, you're just like me. What doesn't matter.
-
Why do I need to go to another part of sermons? Well,
-
sit there. I know it's gonna be.
-
An hour long service.
-
This, many people's gonna sing this, many people's gonna do this,
-
The creature's gonna preach are turning in a sermon there.
-
I'm so thankful that we got breath to hor this
-
church for our services, our time.
-
We don't know how long we're gonna be here.
-
That us what a genuine experience as a replacus, something.
-
That you have a format to follow. Sure we not
-
following a little bit, but we never know what time
-
are gonna leave.
-
We never know when the whole little coast is gonna fall.
-
We just stay until it does. We stay until God
-
speaks help us God.
-
They rush it.
-
I think there's some in here that kind of knows
-
what I'm talking about. Won't call any names. And I've
-
heard stories. You've been to churches where you knew church
-
starts at seven thirty. We'll be out by eight thirty
-
on the dot. That's a replica. That's a routine. That
-
is a dangerous routine to fall into. Some of That'sel's
-
most powerful services are nearing the closing time. Because we
-
have a pastor that stage tune and says, speak, Lord,
-
what more would you like to say?
-
Lord? I want to make sure you sell everything that
-
you wanted to say. I don't want to touch you
-
short Lord, Lord. That might preach somebody.
-
Else that might knew the hirprind of different area, My God,
-
when to reach the Lord, there's somebody that got left behind.
-
That's something there with.
-
A gay friend word saying, my God, I wish we
-
running in a rotat my God.
-
I wished to pish you again. Hold of God, my God,
-
I'm hurrying.
-
And those that sell old replica, they try to make
-
this replica as close as possible in order to get
-
the same price that's the original.
-
They want the same experience.
-
They want those that are walking around where this item
-
that those that are looking at him saying, Hey, you're.
-
Wearing so and so. You must have money. Hey, I
-
see you got to sign it on. You must have money.
-
But that is something that you wish.
-
We should want.
-
We should run a replica of a real Dell. We
-
shouldn't run. We shouldn't be satisfied running knock on.
-
We could say, Lord, I want the little Dell.
-
God, I want the genuine all.
-
The girls, Jesus. Let me tell you.
-
There's some people that get food and they buy that
-
junk food price at the value of something that is
-
worth way less. But God is the creator of the rule,
-
and he will reject every replica that walks through those
-
doors on judgment day. Why because he knows the ends
-
in the outs, just like one that created that genuine,
-
authentic item. As soon as they said, they can say
-
that's not right. There's a little detail out there, you
-
see the way that there is soula that's not how
-
it should be. My God can tell it the same way.
-
He may speak in a tongue, and he may say
-
this and say that the Lord from my God can
-
tell the moment you walk in the door that you
-
are not saying llyd Lord, that you're saying his name
-
in vain. You can say Lord d but it's in vain.
-
He knows his people, he knows his.
-
Children what he's saying there.
-
Whenever he says, they gonna say, the Lord be prophesied
-
in your He's gonna say, but I don't recognize your voice.
-
My people, I hear. I hear when my children are
-
in need. I hear when my kids call on my name.
-
I can tell and it's one of mine because I
-
feel a draw, I feel an urgency. You wonder why
-
God isn't moving in your life. It's because you say
-
a Lord, Lord, but it's not actually your Lord. You're
-
living a replica life.
-
God. I need you God.
-
There are those that spend their whole life trying to
-
make a name for themselves by recreating someone else's painting,
-
when if they would have just dedicated that time and
-
that energy that they spend on reak. You're eating someone
-
else's if you will just delegate that time and that energy.
-
Oh replicating Mama, Oh replicating Daddy. You've seen the way
-
they do it, and you copying them.
-
But if you spend that.
-
Time replicating God, you would, how God says, you would
-
have a genuine experience authored take of your own. Oh
-
God help us Lord, if they would have just spent
-
and if you spend that time and energy, I'm doing
-
it your way or God's way, doing it God's way
-
instead of recreating something you saw great Grandma do that.
-
Our pastor has taught us it doesn't work. Time and
-
time again. He said, reset your mindset, do it differently.
-
It hasn't worked.
-
You come down here in.
-
The same attitude, and you get down at the same spot,
-
and you praying, and.
-
You say, Lord Lord, when.
-
All along you ain't praying to your heart, Well, God
-
lays sorrow.
-
You're just simply replicating.
-
What you do.
-
Each and every servant as to walk in and he say,
-
I'm don't pray again. I want to make him think
-
again that I really got a hold of it. I'm
-
gonna let them on again.
-
I want to recreate what I've done last Sunday. I'm
-
wanna recreating Ridnsday.
-
Help us God, I'm so glad for the moves of
-
God that we have around here that aren't replicas of
-
what happened yesteryear. We heard it all our life. People
-
come to sometimes at our church and I'll just sit
-
back and I'll laugh inside, and they say, we don't.
-
Have moves of God like we used to have.
-
That's because you're stuck in the past. You're doing the
-
same thing. What's the definition of a sandy is doing
-
the same thing over expecting different results. If you've been
-
churching the same way for twenty years, you gotta show
-
God you want to grow. Just like an employer, they
-
see somebody that's just happy to be doing one thing
-
day in and day out.
-
They have no intention on growing them. Why would they
-
give them more responsibility? They want to see initiative.
-
God is the same way you replicating over and no,
-
you're again, you don't shown initiative. But let you say,
-
Lord Lord, Lord Lord, when it's my turn, Lord Lord,
-
where am I gonna grow?
-
When you get them.
-
Replicating the same thing that you're done five or six
-
years ago, Wow, when you sit, you're replicating. When you
-
sit to recreating that same.
-
Lie what your wants live in your mind, the way.
-
Grandma done it, the way Dad done it, Papa done it,
-
whoever done.
-
It, If they were the same when they died, it
-
ain't gonna work for you.
-
You gotta do something.
-
Different, My God. I don't know if y'all remember this
-
particular service we had one time. I know some of
-
y'all would. Pastor got up and he said, I believe
-
we need to do something different. Tonight we were having
-
a move of God. All the women prayed on this side,
-
all the gods prayed over here. Why because we were
-
showing God. Lord, I can worship you no matter of
-
the situation. Lord, If I need to change the way
-
I'm doing things, if that's the result that it takes,
-
the things that it takes for different results, then Lord,
-
let me change my spot. Because we gotta get out
-
of a what. We gotta stop coffee cadding ourselves. We
-
gotta stop parenting something that we saw somebody else. Do
-
you have mastered the art of coffee catting? He realize, Hey,
-
the Saint to God, if begetting to feel a shift,
-
I better come over here. Hey, the Saints to God
-
is starting to run.
-
Let me blend in.
-
He will never experience something on your.
-
Own when you just counsul the repricat something that you say,
-
somebody else do, what are you gonna do?
-
Let yourself?
-
Oh, God help Jesus, my God, I'm afraid in here tonight.
-
There's a few living a replicated life. God help us. Lord.
-
You've learned to say amen when the preacher is preaching.
-
You learn how to close your eyes when he says,
-
bowl your head, let's pray. You know how to look
-
like you're really praying. Just shake your head just right. Hey,
-
you can fake cry all you want. You can fake cry.
-
I've seen some people that can fight out, fake cry,
-
turn it on half a second. I missed around. I
-
haven't recently, but I have missed around before, maybe sometimes
-
by myself, just to do it. You know, when you're alone,
-
you kind of go crazy, you start doing things. But
-
I wanted to see yourself fast. I can make myself cry.
-
It wasn't thirty seconds later on I had a storm.
-
I had a tear rolling down my Eh. You can
-
do that over and over and over and over and
-
over again. Service at your service. You will never experience change.
-
You are just replicating the same thing over and over
-
and over again. Don't let me tell you what I've
-
came to preach about. God, we reject you. God will
-
reject your replica.
-
You coming there.
-
We will fake goddee saying Lord.
-
Lord, I am God.
-
I'm made.
-
Ah. God's gonna say you liar, you liar, you liar
-
where you prayed, so you re that you service Lord, Lord,
-
Lord Lord, but not get you.
-
Repair you will not make it up.
-
Because you shut you.
-
Yeah.
-
I said it my word that if a man finds
-
a woman, he finds a good thing.
-
That man knows a virtuous woman is a pearl.
-
Of great priss or, you know, to be my bride,
-
the pearl of great price, a value.
-
Yeah, I know mine.
-
You're not mine.
-
My servant has spoke to you. You know it's a
-
cheap imitation. You know it's your own version. You know
-
it's a twisted version. It's not the truth. It's not
-
the real you.
-
I say, look, look, my people, Look under the clothing.
-
You'll see the pains of the wolf.
-
Watch out put the wolfs.
-
I say.
-
To all, I say, used to be a pearl of
-
great price. I'm looking for a brow a virtue.
-
Yeah, I say, humble thyself tonight under my mighty hand,
-
and I will lift thee up and look upon thee
-
as that pearl of great value.
-
But if you turn not unto me from this world,
-
I say soon, and very soon.
-
I will judge.
-
The Holy Ghost sitting there. You are a cheap imitation.
-
In my notes, I had wrote there are some things.
-
That can never be recreated.
-
There are some things that can never taste like the original.
-
Now they're trying to be cardinal, but crab meat is
-
one of them. The moment you buit into it, you
-
know it is not genuine. By the texture.
-
And the moment.
-
If God was to put you in his mouth before
-
he choose you up and spits you out, he will know.
-
The texture is not right. He will know I was
-
right all alone.
-
There's people in this world that pay millions, or not millions,
-
but hundreds of dollars for a fake idea to partake
-
in something well, to get into a certain place that
-
is identification required. You can't do that for Heaven. There
-
is no identification that you can buy to fool God.
-
Let's all stand the Holy Ghost, my God. Somebody better
-
come and pray. Somebody better fall on their knees and
-
ask God. Not a replicated prayer, but a genuine, genuine
-
can't be recreated. You will know when you will praying
-
genuinely because it will be a prayer that you never
-
prayed before, and God will meet you. Let's all come
-
and pray. Let's find a place to pray.
