  1. It's a thing that people don't understand about these gods,

  2. that people these these uh, these gods, and these idols

  3. they make them. God always was and always will be

  4. the idol that you made. Something you came up with.

  5. Our law is something they came up with. It ain't

  6. It was not always Joe Witnesses, Baptists. They all made

  7. it up. As I've said many times, that God did

  8. not give us denomination.

  9. He gave a salvation.

  10. The nomination was given by the devil to man, and

  11. he took hold of it.

  12. You want me to prove that to you.

  13. I want somebody to find in the Bible, where Jesus

  14. was a Baptist.

  15. Find where he was Church of God in Christ.

  16. Find where he was Catholic, Find where he was Church

  17. of Christ.

  18. Find where he was Joe Witness. Find it for me,

  19. and I believe it.

  20. Until then, denomination was given by the devil to man

  21. who received it.

  22. The Bible said.

  23. That God didn't call us to be denominational.

  24. He called us to be holy. That's what he called

  25. us to be.

  26. And since Jesus, we claim, is our example, who God

  27. sent to be our example, then that's who I should

  28. be following shouldn't I I should not be following denomination.

  29. I should be following Jesus Christ salvation and not denomination.

  30. You gotta understand, we don't think about this stuff. We

  31. just get emotional and we're gonna go here? Are we

  32. gonna go there? Most folks are not in the House

  33. of God for the purpose of Jesus Christ.

  34. Anyway, I'm gonna.

  35. Go to that church because there's one hundred thousand people

  36. in there, and I can hide in that church. See

  37. the hide They go to Joelo's Thing's church because they

  38. can hide for the most part. And he don't preach

  39. against their filthy life.

  40. And he's not a preacher.

  41. I told y'all that a long time ago, and then

  42. it came into fluition where he came on TV and

  43. told her about I'm not a preacher. I'm a motivated speaker.

  44. I told y'all that a long time. God gave me

  45. that a long time ago, and I told y'all, bet

  46. I said, he ain't no preacher, He's a motivated speaker.

  47. And he himself contested to it with his own mouth,

  48. just like TD Jakes.

  49. And all these other people.

  50. You see these big ministries and you think what a

  51. wonderful work he's doing.

  52. Look at all them people.

  53. Look at all them people who are being led to hell.

  54. That's what I see. Jesus had twelve people.

  55. In his church. Two of them were jacked up. I

  56. always say for every twelve to jacked up. So just

  57. think about if you got ten thousand, eighteen thousand members,

  58. thinking of how many are jacked up. These churches are

  59. not all God's houses, and folks go to differ. I'm

  60. gonna go to this church because this preacher is well renown,

  61. known as a lady that I did some work for.

  62. Recently.

  63. She goes to a big congregational church. As a matter

  64. of fact, the pastor preachers at three churches on Sunday.

  65. And she brought him up.

  66. She wished she had in the though, but she did

  67. bring him up. While I was in her house putting

  68. a new floor in her kitchen, and she brought him up.

  69. I said, oh, you talking about that heathen. I said,

  70. your past.

  71. Is a heathen.

  72. Now some would say that was right, but that ain't

  73. what the Bible say.

  74. That's what they say.

  75. The Bible tell me to expose them, so I do.

  76. Feelings can't take it.

  77. Well, well, well, well, and then I can tell you

  78. because her pastor is a heathing. As a matter of fact,

  79. I did it wasn't strained. I did some work for

  80. another member of his. No, what she said, I don't.

  81. Know why our pastor has to take up so much money.

  82. He asked us for so much money. My Bible say

  83. bring an offering. It is bank say brings so much money.

  84. That's what my Bible say. My Bible say what God said,

  85. because God said it. Because all scripture, as the Bible say,

  86. is given by the.

  87. Inspiration of God.

  88. So everything they wrote was wrote by the inspiration of God.

  89. And then you got these idiots.

  90. Running around talking about all the white man wrote that.

  91. What not one white man in that room, the King

  92. James put another righte to King James verd not one.

  93. The delusion of the world and the system that it

  94. tells you and gave you from time back, we've been

  95. believing a whole lot of stuff that was never.

  96. Right concerning the Bible. Why because we don't read it.

  97. We listened to the preacher, We listened to the pastors,

  98. We listened to the prophet or the false prophet that

  99. speaks to the people on the radio on TV.

  100. He got a great ministry, does he? Does he? There

  101. was a time when people of.

  102. God were rescued by God using Moses out of Egypt.

  103. Amen and millions, not just a few, came out of Egypt.

  104. But when the Egyptians saw that, some of them left

  105. with the Israelites. See, the devil was always trying to

  106. work his work inside of God's house. So when God's

  107. people left Egypt, some of the Egyptians left too. So

  108. when they get out there, that's why they wandered for

  109. forty years when it's only should have.

  110. Took two to three weeks to make it to the Promised.

  111. Land because of their disobedience and following man instead of God.

  112. Hey, man, following God's word. So what happens?

  113. So they got a great, big church. Right, So there's

  114. a lot of people. But in the wilderness, when Moses

  115. came down and the people were worshiping an idol, and

  116. Moses said, whoever's on the Lord's side, come over here,

  117. don't you know, a whole nation of people. The earth

  118. opened up and swallowed them. So because there's a lot

  119. of folks, that don't mean it's right. As a matter

  120. of fact, the number was two hundred and fifty thousand

  121. was swallowed up in the earth, claiming.

  122. They were following who Moses was following wasn't. So let's

  123. look at something.

  124. All of this is because of this, of this scripture

  125. here in the Book of Proverbs, chapter fourteen.

  126. Get your bibles. I hope you got your bible. We're

  127. gonna see.

  128. We're gonna see a few scriptures here because it's prevalent

  129. that you know this is what the Bible says and

  130. not what the pastor says.

  131. And know that the pastor is only repeating what God

  132. has already said. Amen, it ain't gonna bother men. Let's

  133. look at Proverbs fourteen, and when you get there and

  134. say amen, Amen. All right. Now, let's look at verse twelve.

  135. I wanna look at verse twelve, and I'm gonna have

  136. sister Cassidy stand.

  137. Up and read that, so y'all won't say it came

  138. from me.

  139. Fourteen and you get there, say, man, wait till we

  140. all there out here, pages turning.

  141. I want everybody to see it.

  142. Proverbs fourteen and verse twelve.

  143. Are we there? Let's read.

  144. Person?

  145. All right? Thank you?

  146. Uh, Sister Lisa, can you read that from me? Sister Lane,

  147. can you read that from me? Ye, Sister Chelsea, can

  148. you read that from me? Suster Brenda, can you read

  149. that from me? Proverbs chapter fourteen and verse twelve, Brother Merrick.

  150. And while you get in that, we gonna have my

  151. little niece read that. Proverbs chapter fourteen, verse twelve. Stand

  152. when you read, say your voice will project you notice

  153. some bibles read different, but the last word is the same,

  154. brother married, Chapter fourteen of Proverbs, verse twelve. You got

  155. your glasses, brother, Proverbs fourteen and twelve.

  156. There's a way which seems to me a man at

  157. the end, therefore.

  158. Are the way that hey man, would our visitors like

  159. to read that verse? I'm sorry, Proverbs, same thing you

  160. just read.

  161. Amen.

  162. Now the reason that young man right there setting beside

  163. let him Let him read it? Brother, brother, Let that

  164. young man read it. How is I'm sorry that?

  165. How is your daughter? Okay?

  166. She can't read it yet, I'm not saying she can't

  167. read I I have a reason why I know she

  168. can read it.

  169. Go ahead, sair. Amen.

  170. Now, there's a reason why I wanted each and every

  171. one and you. The first reason is because God inspired

  172. me to do that. And the reason why I believe

  173. He inspired me to do that is because each and

  174. every one of you saw it with your own eyes.

  175. You had you to read it, and you spoke it

  176. with your own mouth, hey man. And then after you

  177. did that, you heard it with your own ears. So

  178. that in a sense says you accountable because you read it,

  179. you saw it.

  180. And you heard it. You did it.

  181. You read it, you spoke it into your own ears

  182. and eyes.

  183. And this is how.

  184. Scripture Jesus the Word of God gets in us. We

  185. read it, we see it, and it comes into our eyes.

  186. The Bible said, the eyes of the mirror to our soul.

  187. So you spoke.

  188. It, it went in your ear, so it went down

  189. in your spirit and into your soul. You did it,

  190. and that causes a growth of the word of God

  191. to come into your body. But there's still something left

  192. to do even after all of that, to accept it,

  193. to live it.

  194. That's what's next. To accept it and to live it. Amen.

  195. So the Bible says, there is a way that seems

  196. right to a man, but.

  197. Therefore are the ways of death.

  198. So the right way is Jesus Christ and him crucified.

  199. Amen. That's the right way.

  200. And the reason why this scripture comes into fluition for

  201. us today is because we need to be sure sure,

  202. We need to.

  203. Be sure they're sure, and make no mistake, because the

  204. mistake of.

  205. Believing that you saved and you're not during the rapture

  206. gonna cost you your life. Y'all saw the movie I

  207. told you to watch, Those that watched it, what did

  208. the little girl say setting in the front row in

  209. that movie when the rapture hit, all those folks that

  210. were left behind, and all those folks that was It

  211. came on a Sunday where folks should have been in

  212. the face of God collectively, but they weren't. People all

  213. over the world don't do that because they have other

  214. gods they serve, And even those in God's house have

  215. other gods they serve besides God. See what you gotta

  216. understand is everybody setting in the house of God not

  217. serving God. The rapture gonna prove that. That's why you

  218. have to make no mistake. So in the movie that

  219. I told you all to watch, the girl who was

  220. of accountability, probably was say seventeen eighteen years old, sat

  221. there on the front row when the rapture came. All

  222. those people were left in the church, left behind didn't

  223. get the gold and be with the Lord.

  224. She said this. She made a mistake.

  225. Because her word was this, I thought I was saved,

  226. she said, I thought I was saved. See, you can't

  227. think you saved. You gotta know you saved. You gotta

  228. know that you know that you know you saved. I've

  229. been preaching this this type of message because this word

  230. God is alluding to for each and every one of us.

  231. I not talking about each of every one of us

  232. in here. I'm talking about each and every one of

  233. us claiming Jesus Christ is our Lord and savior. I'm

  234. talking about those who are right now listening because we broadcast,

  235. we're on the air right now, and all over the

  236. world they're hearing this message. And I'm talking to each

  237. and every one of them. By the way of the God,

  238. of the Lord, our God. You make no mistake. You

  239. cannot say at the end of it all, I thought

  240. I was saved, because at that point you are miss heaven.

  241. So you have to really be sure of your eternal salvation.

  242. Aymen, It's very important. This is a.

  243. Very important question to each and every one of us.

  244. Are you really sure of your salvation? Are you? This

  245. is a question. This ain't for you to answer to me.

  246. This is for you to answer to yourself.

  247. Are you really sure of your eternal salvation? Why you're

  248. asking us that? Because we at the end of it all.

  249. That's why look at the world.

  250. Everything the Bible say is gonna happen in the end

  251. time before Jesus comes and raptures us.

  252. Is happening now. I can'tnot tell you.

  253. I don't know how many times I'm gonna tell you,

  254. but I'm gonna keep telling you.

  255. They're doing the last thing. Just about now.

  256. They're trying to build a temple in Jerusalem. The Bible says,

  257. once they build that temple, the Antichrist.

  258. Gonna enter end. When that happens, the door about to

  259. open and shut, he gonna go in the temple.

  260. He gonna make all of them people believe he God,

  261. and then he's gonna be revealed.

  262. Amen.

  263. That's why the question is, are you really sure of

  264. your eternal salvation? It is a very very important question

  265. and one that will have lasting eternal consequences, lasting eternal consequence.

  266. What did he say to the man, I got.

  267. A thousand dollars, You saw it trying to give it

  268. to the preacher.

  269. What the preacher gonna do.

  270. The preacher missed the rapture too, you're giving it to

  271. the wrong person. He ain't gone. You came back and

  272. he told him. You can't buy your way into this.

  273. You gotta live this.

  274. So you got to be sure.

  275. Here's another question if if it's conditional, Hey man, are

  276. you listening. If you would have died today, do you

  277. know for certain that you would go to heaven.

  278. It's a question for you to answer to yourself.

  279. It was a lady in the church that used to

  280. go to Mother I forgot her name, Mother something. She

  281. sat on the third road, right there on the corner,

  282. and every time she would come to the House of God.

  283. Before she's getting them doors, you could hear her praise God, God,

  284. glog glorys Hallujah, Hallujah, praise it Hallujah.

  285. That before she.

  286. Even came through the doors, and she was setting there

  287. single I'm ready, I'm ready. And one Sunday when she

  288. came in with that and sat there and said I'm ready,

  289. God took her, sitting right there in the third row,

  290. I'm ready, I'm ready, Hallujah praise him.

  291. She was sure.

  292. As far as I know, without question, Hey man, But

  293. do you know for certain that you will go to

  294. heaven if you died right now? You see when the

  295. Bible says, no man know the day or the hour.

  296. I told you a long time ago that hour part

  297. got me. That means at any minute of any day,

  298. at any time, he can call you. He can call

  299. you right now, He can call you when the sermon ends.

  300. He can call you when you walk out that door

  301. to the to your car. He can call you whenever

  302. he got the he one got, the got the number,

  303. he the one got the time.

  304. We don't know.

  305. He knows and he know when he gonna call you,

  306. but we don't. And since we don't know, we need

  307. to be sure. We ready to go and be with

  308. the law. You see this question right here.

  309. We cannot afford afford. We cannot afford to be wrong.

  310. You can be wrong about anything else you want to

  311. be wrong about, but that's right here, This, right here,

  312. you cannot afford to be wrong about. You can say

  313. it's blue and it's really purple because you've seen it

  314. from a far off.

  315. You can say.

  316. It's blue because it's nighttime. It may look black. You

  317. can be wrong, but you can't be wrong.

  318. About this question. Here. You can't be wrong about this,

  319. and one.

  320. Day each each of us will know the true answer

  321. to this question. But see, I don't won't to wait

  322. till that one day you understand, because that one day

  323. might be too late. I want to know now. I

  324. want to be for sure now, right now that I'm assured.

  325. And only way I can know for sure is I

  326. have to stay focused. I have to stay focused on

  327. my life. See, I only have one life to live.

  328. Let me say that again.

  329. I only have one life to live. What does it mean?

  330. I can't live yours, your, your, your, your, your, and yours.

  331. I can only live mine and you can't live mine.

  332. You can only live yours. But there's people who try

  333. to live their life and your life, you know me,

  334. people always trying to tell you what you need, what's

  335. good for you, what's best for you, where to go,

  336. when to go, who you need all that's the right

  337. man for you, that's the right woman for you. No,

  338. I make that decision because this the life God gave

  339. me to live, and only I'm going to live it

  340. according to him.

  341. Amen.

  342. So you have to be assured that you're living the

  343. life of God the way God plans for you.

  344. To live it. Amen. The word planning is very important

  345. because this is the plan right here. You see. See

  346. this ain't like the test in school. Not only in school.

  347. Can you take an open book test. You can take

  348. open book tests, but they ain't gonna point to the

  349. answers out there. No but God to give your open

  350. book tests and point to the answers. So you gotta

  351. be sure yourself to this question and your answer to

  352. this question. You should be the one to know that answer.

  353. I don't know, only you know. And the way you're

  354. gonna know is.

  355. The way you live your life. You have.

  356. These are the instructions right here how to live your life.

  357. These are the instructions right here. This is how you

  358. live your life. You gotta follow the instructions to do

  359. it right. I recently put together on while I don't

  360. know what that thing is called its desk or whatever,

  361. for my daughter, and it was five hundred thousand pieces

  362. to it with after directions, I couldn't have done it.

  363. And here's another thing. You have to follow the directions

  364. to the t I was watching and following the directions,

  365. but I missed something and I had to take the

  366. thing apart. Why Because I didn't follow it correctly.

  367. Y'all, don't hear what I'm saying.

  368. I had to take it apart, take the whole top

  369. off of it, and start all over again.

  370. Why Because I couldn't see.

  371. There was a part in that directions that I missed,

  372. and so I had to take it apart again and

  373. start all over.

  374. I thought I thought I was following the structures. I

  375. thought I was following instructions. I thought I was saved.

  376. But you got to know for sure.

  377. And when I looked at it, and I kept looking

  378. at it, I.

  379. Said, I'm wrong with this picture. That's how you gotta do. You.

  380. You gotta look at you and look at you, and

  381. you gotta know yourself some wrong with this picture. So

  382. I knew right away before I went any further, let

  383. me look back at these directions. And when I look

  384. back at the directions, I saw where error. There's a

  385. way that seemed right to a man, But therefore are

  386. the ways of death. Because the reason why this scripture

  387. says that the way it does is because your way

  388. may seem right, but your.

  389. Way is not God's way.

  390. So your way is wrong. See your way your way?

  391. Bible said a way that seemed right to a man.

  392. Your way is not God's way. Your will is not

  393. God's will. Your thoughts are not God's thoughts.

  394. Hey man, until you make them, until.

  395. You not me, I can't make them. You have to

  396. make them. See when the Bible says let this mind

  397. be in you, there was also in Christ Jesus. Jesus

  398. is telling you that's something you gotta do. I'm not

  399. just gonna take my mind and put it in you.

  400. You gonna have to let it be in you. It's

  401. something you got to go after. That's what Paul says,

  402. I stretch forth.

  403. You gotta go forth.

  404. You gotta go forth with your own mind, seeking God

  405. yourself to live the life which is holy that he

  406. called us to live.

  407. Amen. So we understand.

  408. That we all, every one of us, nobody is exempt,

  409. are gonna stand before the judgment seat of Jesus Christ,

  410. all of us, every one of us are nobody's gonna

  411. miss it.

  412. Every one of us have two appointments.

  413. Every one of us has two appointments, and these two

  414. appointments has already been made for each.

  415. And every one of us. You ain't gotta make it.

  416. You ain't got to call and say I need to

  417. be seen on Thursday next week. These two appointments have

  418. already been made for us, and we will definitely keep them.

  419. You will not be able to call in, You will.

  420. Not be able to say I'm sick, I can't make it.

  421. You will not be able to reschedule. You will definitely,

  422. every one of us will definitely keep disappointment, whether we

  423. want to or not. And those appointments, as it is

  424. appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,

  425. those are the two appointments every one of us.

  426. Is appointed to die.

  427. The second appointment is going to be judgment after we die.

  428. And Hebrews nine to twenty seven it says these two

  429. appointments and judgment cannot be canceled. See the understanding of

  430. no man knows the day of the hour.

  431. We looked back.

  432. In a lot of times uh in in in the

  433. years past, like in New York, Washington, d C. And Shakersville, Pennsylvania,

  434. where these multiple deaths happened Amen due to the plane

  435. crashes and these uh Kama cozies and these terrorists, they

  436. didn't know they was gonna fly them planes into them buildings.

  437. They was at.

  438. Work kicking it, at work on break doing whatever they do,

  439. drinking coffee, and then all of a sudden, two planes

  440. flew into the Twin Towers. A plane flew into the Pentagon,

  441. a plane flew into Pennsylvania.

  442. They didn't know. They didn't know. The daidy owl and

  443. thousands died.

  444. Just the other day in Lexington, Kentucky, was a mass shooting.

  445. They didn't know it was a mass shooting coming. They

  446. was gonna be killed.

  447. They didn't know those mass shootings in the schools were

  448. gonna come.

  449. They didn't know. See, you don't know the day of

  450. the hour.

  451. These things can happen at any time, and your life

  452. is gonna be required in you and your soul is

  453. gonna be judged. Now you're hearing what I'm saying. That's

  454. why you have to be sure. Can you like the

  455. little girl in the movie, I thought I was saying,

  456. she found out the hard way, I mean a really

  457. hard way, that she was not saved.

  458. You don't make the rapture. You know where you're going,

  459. don't you no coming out? See God don't have a

  460. halfway house. That's either heaven or Hell. He don't have

  461. a halfway house.

  462. You has no where where you can be in between.

  463. And if you act bad, you're gonna go ahead and

  464. go to hell. You stay good, you're gonna go to heaven. No,

  465. I ain't a halfway house. You either going to heaven

  466. or hell. And you need to.

  467. Be as sure of your eternal salvation.

  468. Why because this is what we are making, no mistake,

  469. this is what we're living in right now. Things are

  470. happening on a daily basis. Oh, a little baby in

  471. Memphis was shot just the other day.

  472. That little baby didn't know he's gonna die. Another little baby,

  473. six years.

  474. Old, left on a bus died the Paris center of

  475. the school.

  476. Hoping for her to come back home, didn't happen.

  477. No man know the daddy hour, young girl. I know

  478. daddy came to visit her from Atlanta in Memphis. On

  479. his way back home to Atlanta, he died on the highway.

  480. He don't matter where you are.

  481. It's not promise you gonna be in a comfortable spot

  482. when you die.

  483. Young man, I was looking at here.

  484. He was a prominent winner on the talent show on TV.

  485. And got in a car wreck and die. Didn't even

  486. get to go through the whole thing, but was looking

  487. forward to it. We don't know the day of the hour.

  488. People, we need to get our life right with the

  489. Lord Jesus Christ. For the scripture says, even when God

  490. tells us in Book James, chapter four and fourteen, whereas

  491. you do not know what will happen tomorrow.

  492. For what is your life? What is your life? It

  493. is even as a vapor that appears for a.

  494. Little time and then vanishes away. No man knows the

  495. day of the hour. That's in Matthew twenty four and

  496. thirty six, But.

  497. In James four and fourteen. It's a very powerful scripture

  498. here your life is a vapor.

  499. What are we talking about here in four and fourteen?

  500. The Book of the Lord tells us in fourteen, whereas

  501. you know not what shall be on.

  502. Themorrow, So in other word, we don't know. We don't know.

  503. It says, whereas you know not what shall be on

  504. the morrow, that's a fact that we don't.

  505. While God does, we don't. Then it goes on to say,

  506. for what is your life?

  507. What is your life? Making plans without God's proclaiming It

  508. is even a vapor. It is even, it says, a

  509. vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

  510. So if the Lord right here where it says it

  511. is even a vapor, it is evil.

  512. The word even is what we really linger on.

  513. Why because when it says it is even a vapor

  514. that appears for a little time and then vanishes away,

  515. what does this mean?

  516. It means if the Lord doesn't guide your life, then

  517. your life is a waste a vapor. It's a waste.

  518. Hey, man, we must not make an error concerning our

  519. salvation and following what seems right to us are.

  520. That we feel in our heart that we are saved.

  521. The Bible says in Proverbs fourteen and twelve, there is

  522. a way that seems right to a man, but it's in.

  523. Is the way of death.

  524. Our feelings are not safeguarded our life.

  525. I say that early in Sunday School.

  526. Our feelings are not a safeguard, but only the Bible is.

  527. Your feelings ain't a safe God. See, whatever prior assumptions

  528. you have already made about your own salvation, many of

  529. these assumptions that people make contradict. Many assumptions that people

  530. make contradict what the Word of God says.

  531. Amen. And if it contradicts what the Word of God says,

  532. then you in error. Amen.

  533. See, all you got to do is look around, and

  534. you can find the contradictions, amen, and the contradictions they

  535. don't line up to God. All you got to do

  536. is look around at all the many y'all hear me. Now,

  537. y'all listening, pay attention. I'm gonna tell you what you

  538. got to look around for. All you gotta look around

  539. for is all of the many different doctrines, all the doctrines.

  540. That are being in talk.

  541. And then compare them to what God says in the Bible,

  542. and we can see a great difference.

  543. And what are you looking around at?

  544. The Baptists have a different doctrine, The Catholic have a

  545. different doctrine. Church of God in Christ have a different doctrine.

  546. All these denominations have denominational doctrines which are not God's doctrine.

  547. This is what you're looking around for. That's what the

  548. Bible says.

  549. All of these different denominations have different doctrines. They have

  550. a denominational doctrine and they have a man's doctrine. And

  551. a lot of Baptists people have a theological doctrine because

  552. they were with the theologianal.

  553. Schools and that.

  554. Teaches theology, and the Bible is not theology, right. Scientology

  555. teaches a different doctrine. They teach how they can explain

  556. the miracles of God. And I told you last time.

  557. Every time they try to explain the miracles God, they'll

  558. need them giving glory.

  559. That's all they do.

  560. Scientology says, back in the days when Moses lifted up

  561. the rod, and God parted the sea, and they walked

  562. across on drag ground, theologists say.

  563. Scientists say that in the.

  564. Red Sea, at a part of the Red Sea, at

  565. a certain time of the year, the water is only

  566. three feet tall, and when the wind blows strong, it

  567. can part the water, bounce off the banks, and dry

  568. the land.

  569. This is with theology.

  570. Scientology tells, they people, but when they get through ministry

  571. that they forget one thing, how glorious.

  572. They just make God again because he.

  573. Drowned a whole army of horses and men and three

  574. feet of water.

  575. When you get through, try and explain it.

  576. Amen, you see the Lord, our God, says in the

  577. Book of Marcus seven and seven, it says, and in

  578. vain matter of fact, let's look at mark.

  579. Mark, chapter seven and verse seven. Now I'm not gonna

  580. wait on you, but you can get there.

  581. Mark chapter seven and verse seven. Matter of fact, let's

  582. look at it. Said a lord says this in the

  583. book of Mark seven, and in vain they worship me

  584. teaching the doctrines, that commandments of men.

  585. This is God saying this.

  586. He knows that they teaching the commandments of men and

  587. not teaching His doctrine.

  588. The folks the commandments of men, so they worship. It's

  589. in vain.

  590. So in Mark chapter seven, after he starting in verse one,

  591. then came together to him the Pharisees and are.

  592. Certain of the scribes which came from Jerusalem.

  593. And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread

  594. with the file, that is to say, with unwashed hands,

  595. they found fault for the Pharisees and all the Jews,

  596. except they washed their hands, often eat not, holding the

  597. traditions of the elders, these adoptions of men. And when

  598. they came from the market, except they washed, they eat not.

  599. And many other things there be which they have received

  600. to hold, as the washing, washing of cups and pots, basins, vessels,

  601. and of tables. Then the Phariseeson scribes ask him, they

  602. walk not. If they ask him, why walk not? Your

  603. disciples according to the traditions of the elders, but eat

  604. bread with unwashed hands.

  605. Now, these are the doptions of me that they're talking about.

  606. He answered, and said, unto them, well, has it has

  607. Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites?

  608. Call them hypocrites? He says, as it is written this.

  609. People honor me with their lips, but their hearts is

  610. far from me.

  611. Have that in vain? He says?

  612. Do they worship me teaching for the doctrines and the

  613. commandments of men? For laying aside the commandments of God?

  614. They lay that aside. You hold traditions of men, as

  615. the washing of pots and cups, and many other such

  616. like things.

  617. You do you hold that, dear to you, but not

  618. God's doctrines. You hold the.

  619. Doctrines of baptism, the doctrines of all these denominations, but

  620. not the ones I give you. You don't hold my

  621. doctrine there, dear you. It's what he's saying, and he's said,

  622. unto them, full well, you reject the commandment of God

  623. that you may keep your own traditions for teaching the

  624. doctrine of men. You want, you want to keep what

  625. you made up. You want to keep what God said?

  626. Do you want to keep how God say?

  627. Live?

  628. You wanna keep what you made up? And your worship

  629. is in vain? God says, if it comes from men

  630. and not from God. God is not the author of confusion,

  631. Ah the form of man. So where else could you

  632. have got that doctrine if.

  633. It didn't come from God? You got it from man

  634. and man?

  635. Where else could they have come from if they did

  636. not come from God?

  637. This is a very serious question. See, this is why we.

  638. Walk around with all these traditional customary things. They have

  639. nothing to do with God. But the doctrine of men

  640. with men have taught Man has taught people over decades.

  641. You know, I always attack this that the pastor is

  642. supposed to have.

  643. An anniversary every year.

  644. Multitude of churches have an anniversary for their pastor. It's

  645. not the doctrine of God, it's the doctrine of men.

  646. Every year.

  647. Seemingly, and I'm being sarcastic, in these ministries, only the

  648. preacher and his wife have a birthday. Everybody in church

  649. ain't got no birthday. They the only ones got a

  650. birthday because they traditionally honor their birthdays.

  651. But they don't honor everybody else's birthday. If everybody in.

  652. The church honors the pastor's birthday, then everybody in the

  653. church out of honor a member's birthday when it comes.

  654. But because of the doctrine of men, and then they

  655. call his wife the first lady. That's the doctrine of men.

  656. She ain't no first lady, she's the pastor's wife.

  657. The first lady was Evey Eve Adam did ease she

  658. was the first lady.

  659. It But because of the doctrines and teachings of men,

  660. y'all called the.

  661. Pastor's wife the first lady. It's not Bible. It ain't

  662. in here. It's not in here.

  663. The Bible says she was the first woman, a man

  664. who founded the church Jesus. But what do you see

  665. on the signs? We got one out there ourselves. They

  666. put out there before I came. I'm gonna change it.

  667. Don't worry.

  668. They got every church got a sign out there and

  669. say the founder is doctor so and so, elder so

  670. and so, pastor.

  671. So and so. It ain't the founder. Jesus said, I

  672. founded my church up on this rock. Jesus is the founder.

  673. But we've been taught these.

  674. Different doctrines of men, and then the church and got

  675. in Christ. This is what they do when they want

  676. to when they when they want to walk out when

  677. the preacher going.

  678. You know what that means to me.

  679. You trying to excuse yourself and you want everybody to

  680. see you.

  681. When you puts to be discreet and not cause attention to.

  682. Yourself because all the attention is supposed to be focused.

  683. On Jesus in the sanctuary of God.

  684. As ministry goes forth, Hey man, we take on these

  685. traditions and customs. It has nothing to do with God.

  686. But where else could you have gotten them from? It's

  687. a very serious question. Your worship becomes vain and useless.

  688. You in that praising God hallo, Yeah, praise and praise

  689. him Hellely, Yeah, that's in.

  690. Vain if you're using the doctrines of men.

  691. Choir back here singing, fifteen of them, fifteen choir meiggers singing,

  692. and only two of.

  693. Them saying doctrine of Men.

  694. I was setting up in this poet pit one time

  695. he was having a funeral, and one of the preachers

  696. sat beside me said, that man coming in the door,

  697. he's a preacher called him up to this poor pit

  698. doctrine of men.

  699. I ain't.

  700. I told him now, I ain't calling him up here

  701. because I don't know him. If I knew him, I

  702. knew his life, i'd let him come up in here.

  703. As matter of fact. When I turned and looked.

  704. At him, I said, you mayby glad you're sitting up here,

  705. cause you righting to the core.

  706. I told another pastor that was setting up here. I

  707. walked over him, was very nice.

  708. I said, you need to sit down there with the

  709. rest of them, because he needed to be saved and delivered.

  710. He called himself a preacher. He's an alcoholic. That's not

  711. God doctrine.

  712. You see, God give me an eye to see right

  713. through you, and I dismissed it. That's why I took

  714. all the cheers down from my prayer, put him down there.

  715. Ain'tybody suposed to be up here, but the speaker, whoever

  716. he may be, whoever our nim to be. That's what

  717. it's made for. Everybody's setting up here like their God

  718. or something. I ain't never liked that, and pre stting

  719. up here with they made fold looking like they ain't

  720. got to anticipate in nothing.

  721. Prayer come, Prayer.

  722. Come, a call. You don't never see preachers come to

  723. the altar. You don't see preachers come to the altar.

  724. You don't see ministers come to the altar. Folks what

  725. were now got names? Call theyself evangelists and all that crap.

  726. They don't come to the altar. No, they live in

  727. a hell of life like everybody else. You need to

  728. be on that altar to be prayed for too.

  729. You got women running around the church of my evangelists.

  730. So and so.

  731. That's a lie, Bishop, Bishop Betty Brown.

  732. It's a lie. Doctrine of men.

  733. How in the world can you miss that a woman

  734. can't be a bishop. The Bible pacimply says that a

  735. bishop is a husband.

  736. What's a hoodson?

  737. Look like you what it looks like the house?

  738. Look like a woman. The Bible said it. I'm just

  739. repeating it. You're mad, that's your problem. Take it up

  740. with God. It said a bishop is a husband of

  741. one wife. She can't be no bishop, She ain't no man.

  742. A pastor is an overseer as a bishop.

  743. She can't be no pastor. She ain't no man.

  744. In the scriptures, it wasn't the apostles, it wasn't the prophet.

  745. It was Jesus himself who spoke in the Bible. Y'all

  746. know it's in read right, and he said he gave

  747. a fivefold ministry.

  748. See, we keep.

  749. Walking around with traditions and customers and doctrines of men,

  750. and it ain't got nothing to do with God. And

  751. we're gonna go to have behind following these guys. Jesus

  752. gave the fivefold ministry apostles, evangelists, preachers, and teachers.

  753. There's another one in there.

  754. Evangelists, apostles, preachers, and teachers and prophets.

  755. Jesus gave that.

  756. Guess what he said when he gave it, he said,

  757. and I gave it to m N. That sound like

  758. w e N, He said, I gave it to m N.

  759. So you can't hold those positions unless.

  760. You're a man.

  761. But traditions and customs of men, they let women hold

  762. those positions, they're going to hell. They're gonna be a

  763. held accountable.

  764. The Bible says it plainly. It don't even you don't

  765. even need an angel to come down from heaven. When

  766. you read that scripture.

  767. You don't need an angel, you don't need a prophet,

  768. you don't need a pastor. When you read it, you'll

  769. see that Jesus said it. And if Jesus said it,

  770. if God said it, it is so, and so it is. Oh,

  771. I know, we don't like it because we've been living

  772. this life for thirty forty years. Don't matter, you've been

  773. living it wrong. That's what's important. There's a way that

  774. seems right to a man. But therefore all the ways

  775. of death, that scripture, that scripture that ain't Jars Tompkins,

  776. that Jesus Christ. So it's a very serious question, very serious.

  777. Are you really sure of your eternal salvation? Because guess what,

  778. make no mistake, because you won't be there corrected when

  779. the rapt sure come.

  780. Make no mistake.

  781. And your following the traditions of mans causes your worship

  782. to become vain.

  783. It caused your worship to be useless. It's useless. You

  784. stand there singing to God and you ain't saved.

  785. You know what God says about folks singing to him.

  786. You know what God says about folks praising him. See,

  787. we don't notice circle. We don't read the Bible. Say

  788. I read the Bible, and it's plain.

  789. It ain't something that I got to call on the

  790. Holy Gooses, which I already call on the Holy Ghost.

  791. So I read it anyway. But you know what the

  792. Bible says.

  793. He says, the praises of a heathen is an abomination

  794. to me?

  795. Does God? He said, If you ain't saved and you up.

  796. Here trying to sing songs to God, God said, that's

  797. an abomination to me.

  798. He says, it falls in line with.

  799. The same scripture I've told you in Deuteronomy, if a

  800. man lay with a woman like If a man lay

  801. with another man like a woman, he said, it's an

  802. abomination to me. If a man lay with another man

  803. like a woman. God says, that's an abomination to me.

  804. You know what abomination means. God said, it's nasty. He says,

  805. it's the Testable.

  806. That's what God says, it's the Testable. To me, I

  807. don't like it. So we got to understand something. Anybody

  808. can praise.

  809. Him, but only the saints of God can worship him.

  810. Anybody can praise it, he said, with a rocks cry out.

  811. So he said, the birds praise him, the trees praise God,

  812. the grass praise God.

  813. Doing everything grows straight up.

  814. It all praises him and I'm about to come to

  815. an end here. See if your doctrine or our doctrines,

  816. doctrines come from men. When they meet, you see they

  817. have all this stuff too. Y'all know it's true, if

  818. your doctrine comes from me. And when they meet in convention,

  819. they have all these conventions.

  820. They're in there selling all kinds.

  821. Some people can't wait till the convention come because they

  822. got stuff to sell.

  823. They talking about Jesus. The conventional meeting for them, it

  824. don't mean Jesus to them.

  825. When they had a convention, they bring it all the

  826. stuff they want to sell. Before you even go into

  827. the place, they got booths set up all around on

  828. the outside. They selling books, they selling they selling markers,

  829. they selling hats, They selling all kinds of stuff.

  830. Ain't about Jesus.

  831. At the conventions and the conferences, and when they have

  832. these conventions and conferences, not only are they doing all

  833. of that mess, what's taking your focus off the fact

  834. that you're gathering as a nation of a denomination of

  835. people to get in the face of God. Not only that,

  836. but in these conferences and in these conventions, when you get.

  837. In there, they're deciding something.

  838. In these places they're deciding on what you are to

  839. believe and do. That's what they're doing because they have

  840. the meetings in these conferences. They have meetings in these conferences.

  841. They have them in these where they come together Church

  842. God Christ comes together in the symbol. And when they

  843. have the conventions, they come together to decide. I say,

  844. to decide of what to tell you, what to believe in,

  845. what to do.

  846. This is all you need to believe and do. I

  847. don't need to have a conference. I don't need to

  848. have a convention. I got my Bible. But these conventions and.

  849. Conferences, they ain't really for you.

  850. They to make money. They're making money.

  851. Ain't no Jesus in these conventions, in these conferences. We

  852. got to be like Peter when Peter went to the

  853. when Peter went to the convention, when Peter went to

  854. the conference, he told the Jewish Council and Acts five

  855. and twenty six to twenty nine.

  856. Let's look at what let's look at Let's look at

  857. what Peter told him when he went to the conference.

  858. You know they had them back them days too now,

  859. Acts chapter five and starting in verse twenty six, this

  860. this what Peter told him at.

  861. The conference, at the conference.

  862. At the convention, as the apostle Peter told the Jewish

  863. Council and Acts, chapter five and verse twenty six.

  864. He said to them, then went the.

  865. Captain with an officer and brought them without violence, for

  866. they feared the people. At least they should have been stoned.

  867. And when they had brought them, they set them before

  868. the council, and the high priest asked them, the high

  869. priest saying, did you not did not we straightly command

  870. you that you should not teach in this name? And

  871. they ain't even mentioned the name. They ain't even want

  872. to say the name. Theirself name was Jesus Christ. And behold,

  873. you have failed Jerusalem with your doctrine and intent to

  874. bring this man's blood upon us. Then Peters and the

  875. other apostles answered and said, we are to obey God

  876. rather than man men who you think we all obeyed.

  877. That's what Peter was asking. We are to obey God

  878. rather than men. So we don't care what y'all. Y'all

  879. brought us to this council. Y'all brought us to this convintion.

  880. Don't you don't bring me to the convention to tell.

  881. Me what to believe? And what to do. I don't

  882. obey me and our big God.

  883. So while we are told rather are we are to

  884. obey God.

  885. Rather than man.

  886. Do not believe anything that I tell you, because we

  887. are not going to be judged about what I say.

  888. Do not believe anything any other person tells you. Are

  889. your listening, do not believe anything any other person tells you,

  890. because we're not going to be judged about what some

  891. other person says. In fact, we are not going to

  892. be judged about what we personally believe, personally believe.

  893. On the day of judgment.

  894. We are going to be judged only byt what the

  895. Lord says in the Bible. That is going to be

  896. the only standard for judgment. For our Lord says himself

  897. in Saint John, the Lord himself says in Saint John,

  898. chapter twelve and verse forty two, twelve and forty two,

  899. this is what the Lord himself says, chapter twelve and

  900. verse forty two. And the Lord himself says, Nevertheless, among

  901. the chief rulers also many believe on him, but because

  902. of the Pharisee, they did not confess him, least they

  903. be put out of the synagogue, for they love the

  904. praises of men more than the praises of God. Jesus

  905. cried and said, he who believe on me believes not

  906. on Jesus cried and said, he who believes on me

  907. believes not on me, but on him who sent me.

  908. And he who sees me sees him who sent me.

  909. And I I am come a light into the world,

  910. that whosoever believes on me should not abide in darkness.

  911. And if any man heard my words and believe not,

  912. I judge him not, For I came not to judge

  913. the world, but.

  914. To save the world.

  915. He who rejects me and receives not my words has

  916. one who judged him the words that I have spoken.

  917. The same shall judge him in the last day. For

  918. I have not spoken of myself, but the Father which

  919. sent me, he gave me a commandment what I should

  920. say and what I should speak. And I know that

  921. his commandment is life everlasting, whatsoever I speak. Therefore, even

  922. as the Father said unto me, so I speak, So

  923. I speak as well the words of God to you

  924. that he spoke. So we come to understand that it's

  925. going to be the only standing for judgment, For from

  926. our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, is the word that

  927. I have spoken would judge him in the last days.

  928. Jesus said, the words that I have spoken, the words

  929. are gonna judge you in the last days.

  930. So if I are.

  931. Any other person, So, if I are any other person,

  932. cannot point listen, If I pastor or any other person

  933. cannot point to it in the Word of God, then

  934. please do not believe it, because there is too much

  935. at stake on your belief, and the too much is

  936. your soul.

  937. Our soul is worth more than the whole world and

  938. everything in it. You can take everything in.

  939. The world, every building, every car, every dollar, every diamond,

  940. every gold, every silver, every diamond, everything in the world

  941. cannot buy a soul.

  942. That's how valuable your soul is.

  943. So if any other person, even me, cannot point to

  944. what's being taught and what's being preached in this Bible,

  945. don't believe it. Everybody got an opinion, that's true. Everybody

  946. got an understanding. That's true, But there's only one understanding,

  947. and there is no opinion. See, everybody got a pin,

  948. but there is no opinion. There's only one truth. That's

  949. why when people say you'd say something to people and

  950. try to explain it to them. Then I say, well,

  951. that's how you believe it. That's the person trying to

  952. be comfortable in their mess.

  953. That's what that kind of person is.

  954. That's the kind of person that tell you wants you

  955. tone told.

  956. Them the truth of the world of God, and you.

  957. Can show it to them, and they still ain't gonna

  958. believe it.

  959. They don't believe it.

  960. Why because they got their own understanding, because they don't

  961. have the mind of Christ.

  962. They're using their cardial.

  963. Mind to try to understand something that's spiritual, and you've

  964. given it to them spiritual and they don't understand it,

  965. and they ain't gonna look at it.

  966. In the Bible and understand it either.

  967. Your soul is worth more than the whole world and

  968. everything in Jesus said in Matthew sixteen to twenty one.

  969. For what profit? What profit is it to a man?

  970. Profet is it to a man? If he gains the

  971. whole world and loses his own soul? What will a

  972. man give in exchange for his soul? What will a

  973. man give an ex I mean they've given a whole

  974. lot of people have given something in exchange for their soul.

  975. What will a man give in exchange for his soul?

  976. Our soul is the part of us. Are you listening?

  977. Our soul is the part of us. It's the part

  978. of me. It's the part of you. Brother. No, I'm

  979. telling you that you're a signal. Our soul is the

  980. part of us. Your soul, my soul. Everybody in here

  981. has a soul.

  982. Now, all the folks don't have a soul as animals,

  983. but every human being has a soul.

  984. And your soul, once you lose it, it's gone. Amen.

  985. That's why I say it's what does a man give

  986. in exchange for his soul? Because our soul is the

  987. part of us that.

  988. Is going to continually to live on. Your soul once

  989. you die.

  990. Your soul is going to live on forever throughout all eternity,

  991. So we cannot afford to lose it.
