THE WORD OF GOD

Isaiah and the ninth chapter. I hope you brought your bibles,

because we don't use phones in here. The Bible says,

he come in the volume of a book. See this

is real doctorated preaching. This ain't comfortable preaching in this house.

We give it to your lif i'mna give it to

you like Jesus gave it to them. Ain't gonna ain't

gonna move it around. I add nothing to take nothing away.

But if you go to Isaiah chapter nine, and when

you get there and say, man, and if you need

to look on with somebody, you can shure they'll be

glad to share the word with you from the Bible,

the Holy rit And in verse six, now this passage

is talking about the birth of the Prince of Peace. Hey, man,

I know that the whole world has vamboozo the people

of God and themselves in believing that the twenty fifth

of this month was when this Jesus Christ was born.

Not so, not so. And the Bible even lets us

know approximately when he was born. But it don't tell

you for show. And December is not in the making.

Nissan fourteen in the Old Testament, lets us know this

day that they call Easter, this pagan holiday that they worship,

which is a day that the pagan Roman people called

Estra because it was a fertility god. But this Christmas

that they're proclaiming and have vamboos of the people of God,

and the world is already vambooso because they love lies anyway,

So we come to understand when we really look at

when Jesus was born, it was somewhere in the fall.

Somewhere in the fall. I don't know when it was,

and neither the you, and neither that anybody trying to

tell you, unless God told it to you. You see,

there are some things that Deuteronomy twenty nine, twenty nine

tells us, and those sayings are some things are the

secret things of God. And there are some things God

it will reveal to us. He hasn't revealed that. So

when we look at this right here in chapter nine

of Isaiah, and it says, for unto us, a child

is born, unto us, a son is given. See, God

didn't he wasn't even just born. When he was born.

God gave him to us. And the government shall be

up on his shoulder, and his name shall be called

wonderful counselor the Mighty God. So all them people run

around town to tell you Jesus and God. Okay, the

scripture just said that he would be called the Mighty God,

the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. You may be

seated in the house of the Lord a man. So

when I look in the book, this act of God

was because of how much he loved us. He gave

us Jesus Christ. And so as I was looking through

notes and and trying to find a title for this

message this morning, I found one that came to mind.

And then I heard the Lord says, I'm not igling

in this. Let's just call it Jesus, because that's what

we're talking about. Jesus is the title here. We're talking

about Jesus, although we do that every Sunday. Who was

Jesus the Savior? He was more than that. Jesus was

the epitome of love. Amen. So what does the Bible

say about love? Sent Christians chapter thirteen. It says, do

I speak with the tongues of men and of angels

and have not charity? Even though you speak in this

and you don't have love charity, we know it's love.

I am become as sounding brass or tingling symbol. In

other words, all you're doing is making a whole lot

of noise. So all you're doing, even though you speak

of tongues of men and of angels, you ain't doing

it but making a lot of noise. If you don't

have love with the people that even speak in tongues,

if that I speaking in tongues out of love, they

just making a whole lot of noise. I want you

to understand today, and I may not even get to

a lot of that this rope, because there's a lot

to God to put in my spirit beyond what was

on paper. It is that we don't really understand love.

We don't have the depth of it, and we're using

the love of the world and calling it the love

of God. And the love of God is considered to

be all a God paid, which means there is unconditional amen.

But a filial love has conditions with it. It only

does what you do for it. But a godpe does

it not matter, It's still gonna do amen. But let's

understand Jesus, because Jesus is love. It's impossible to use

the word the gode love without saying Jesus Christ, because

he is love. If you say love, you're saying Jesus

because he is love. Are you with me? So, so

let's understand that Jesus Christ, he was the human, divine

son of God, born of a vision Mary, the great

high priest who interceeds for his people at the right

hand of God. Founder of the church. So all them

folks with them signs out there talking about I'm the founder.

That's a lie, founder of the church, founder of the church,

and central figure of man and one man. So to

really understand who Jesus was and is and what he

accomplished while he walked the earth, you first must study

first and only first, there is no second, the Bible,

which is the Word of God, to really understand who

he is, because this is who he is. The Bible

said that Jesus Christ came in the volume of a book,

he was flesh and became the Word. Amen. So when

you reading the Bible in you're entering in into Jesus' mind. Amen. See,

there are people that read the Bible, and then there

are people that read the Bible and study it. That's

the reason why people are confused about who Jesus is

and who Jesus was, because most folks just read it

and they don't study it. That's reading. Why they run

around here talking about some Christmas, Easter. And the one

that gets me the most, y'all know the one get

me the most, don't you. The one that gets me

the most is a day that don't even lie about itself.

Halloween and let you know it's evil. Easter don't tell

you it's evil. Christmas don't tell you it's evil, but

Halloween tell you it's evil. But here we are because

we don't study to know Jesus. We just read about

him like he's a jet magazine or a novel or

ebony book. This book is not to be read like

any other book, any other book. This book is to

be read in a total different You can read a

jet magazine in the Ebney book the same way you

can read a dictionary in any other book. You can

read those prosperity Preachers books any kind of way. But

this book is only to be read one way and

to be studied. I've had people that try to give

me their book past Us that they wrote, I don't

want to read your book. Let the world read your book.

I'm gonna read this book. It's the only book I'm

gonna read. It's the book I'm gonna read. I'm talking

about me. Don't get offended. I'm talking about me. This

only book I'm gonna read about God. But when we

come to understand and how real reality of who Jesus

really is, we gotta want that reality. And what's the

driving force of us wanting that reality. It's four words,

I bet you know it. Love. Love is a driving

force fuck that pushes you to want to know who

he really is. These folks that that that get up

behind these podiums multi a million dollar ministries, they don't

love Jesus. They don't even know who he really is.

Because if they did, they wouldn't do what they do,

because love would have compelled them not to rob God's people.

I'm talking about love. I'm talking about a filio. They'll

tell you they love you. That's that's not that's not

a filio. I mean, that's a filio. That's not a gape.

I don't want to get him mixed up. See they

have a filial love. Don't go to the past anniversary

several times. See how you look at you don't give

in the ministry, and see how you look at you.

That is called a filial not a god thing. See,

my job is to teach the word and priest the word.

That's what God told me to do. It's not up

for me to live it for you. My job is

to teach the word and priests the word is up

to you to live it. And what I mean by

that is I give you what is God's word and

doctor because why because you need to have what God

says that we're supposed to get in all of our

getting understanding. And man, there's people so confused about you know,

and and they debate about he was born on the

twenty fifth. I'm not debating when he was born because

you know why, I don't know when he was born.

When you debate, you got to have some truth even

care when he was born. Let me make that quite clear.

I don't care when he was born. I just cared

that he was born. That's all I care about that

he was born. It's not that impart to me when

he was born. What's the part to me that he

was born? So this is the problem with the church today.

There is a dissipation of painting in the love of Christ.

They're not caring the really to get to know him.

Most people are even in the House of God today

because they're robotic. Ain't about Jesus. They even today in

the House of God because they want to see who

they saw last Sunday or they saw somebody they like it.

This Sunday. They gonna get the carriage enough to talk

to him when service is over. Are they there because

they want you to see the new wig they got on,

new suit, they got on, new dress they got on.

It ain't about Jesus, It's about them. So the love

of God has dissipated because of not coming. Because we

love him, we say we do. But the mauth will

speak a whole lot of things that is not in

the heart are come out of the heart. But we

have to understand who Jesus really is. We have to

understand who Jesus, who he is, and who he was

because when he walked this earth, he walked it for us.

Why because he loved us? Because he is loved. And

you got people out there talking about they atheists, they

don't even believe in him. You got Jews out there

don't even believe he's ever come. Why because they don't

really know him. They have n't become to even try

to know him. You got Jews after saying that he

hasn't come. And there's a reason why they're using that

he hasn't come things because they don't want to be

accused of the ones that told the king to crucify him. See,

they don't want to be accused of that. But it's

too late for all that you are accused of that

you gave up Jesus Christ instead of the Sinner, even

though it was written, hey man, so to really understand

his life, to understand his life, there has to be

some love driving you to want to know who he is.

You know what when you meet somebody you're a man

meets a woman or a woman meets a man, they

don't want to get to know him. They feel something.

You know, this is what they say. I feel something.

It was love at first sight. So if it was

love at first sight, you must have found something. Why

don't they feel anything when they met Jesus? He is loved.

How come you can't feel the love when you meet

Jesus but you can feel some kind of love when

you meet somebody else. How how come you can't feel

that love? Then? I'm confused? Somebody can help me later though,

But when you want to really understand his life and

his teachings, his his person and his work, his life

was is and all about us. He was born to

save us from a devil hell, I said. He came

to save us from a devil's hell. See, he knew

we was gonna be so confused that we were gonna

be trying to break into Hell. That's what you do

when you go to hell. You're broke in. You done

broke in. The ain't no alarm system, ain't not gonna bails,

gonna go off. It ain't gonna be reported to the

to the police. You just broke in. Down, you in,

and you ain't getting out because that's why I ain't reported,

because can't nobody come get you out? You're breaking it entery.

The Bible said that hell was made for the devil.

Hall was made made keyword for the devil and the

fallen angels. What you're doing going to hell? Heaven is

your home supposed to be. Jesus took our beaten. You

ain't gotta take no beating. He shed the blood. You

don't have shed no blood. We should have when we

really get to know him, we should have so much

encouragement that we are to just be a beaming, glowing light,

hey man, because because we couldn't have shed blood, but

he shed the blood, but that we should have been shedding.

We the one was acting the food. We the ones

was sinning and sin comes with a blood of blood price.

But Jesus did it so we wouldn't have to and

we could not have anyway because our blood was tainted.

Our blood wouldn't have helped. Our blood wouldn't have been

able to wash away the sin. That's the reason why

the priest every year they had to bring him to

the priest so that he can go into the Holy

of Holies to forgive the people of God of their sins.

But it was only like talanaw, It was only like

bird aspirin. It was just a temporary relief. But when

Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God was put on the altar,

it was a permanent fix. See, God had to lead

us up to under He had to lead us up

to understand this lamb was coming, that we was gonna

need to love him and believe in him so that

we can receive. So that we can receive. See, only

those that had received have the victory over sin, said,

sin has no power. It does for those that receive it,

for for those that don't it don't. See, his blood

was pure, undefound. He was innocent, but took the beating

of a guilty world. Why because he loved us. He

loved each and every one of us that hated him,

he loved. He forgave each and everyone that hated him,

and that that did things against him, talked about it,

mocked him, beat him. He forgave him. You see, the

love of God does not have conditions. See if yours

up there on that cross you've been talking about, give

them God, beat them down, God, and get me off

of here. But now Jesus, Jesus said, forgive them. See

that's what love does. It for gives them. You'll hear

what I'm saying. Love forgives them. Love, don't hold on.

It for gives them, ay man. And then then let's

go first Christian, this chapter thirty eight says, and though

I have the gift of prophecy, and understanding all mysteries

and all knowledge, all mysteries, all knowledge, I have the

gift of prophecy, And though I have all faiths, so

that I could remove mountains and have not charity. I'm nothing.

You're still nothing if you don't have charity. That's why

all these people prophesizing over you. They got the gift,

they ain't got no love for you. They want that

money coming to these churches. They go to different churches.

They pay them, some of them get paid for or

even come. Tdjays wanted it back in the day, fifty

thousand dollars to show up. Now he's way way past

that they were back in the days. Why it was

no love of God, no love of God. Although you prophesied,

but you don't have charity. You still nothing. You got

the gift, but you're still nothing. See before I took

this podium, God told me. He says to me, they

don't care how much you know. They want to know

how much you care. He said, they don't care how

much you know. They want to know how much you care.

And that's where a lot of them are missing it

because they can't care because they don't have the love

of God. They have a love in Him, but it

ain't of God. But when Jesus came, he took our beaten.

He was innocent, took the beaten. We should have been

had have had because we was guilty. He was innocent,

and he did that the place and right standings were

back with the Father. Amen. So this day that's coming

up that the world calls Christmas, and the people of

God have been van booze and do the same thing.

I'm here to tell the people of God. If you

got a tree in your house, if you got gifts

under that tree, if you got lives beating on the

outside of your house in celebration of this day, you

a liar. You're a liar, and your love for God

is not where it need to be, because if it was,

you would not worship a pagan holiday. It's a lie.

Do y'all not understand it's a lie. You're saying what

the world says he was born on the twenty five,

that's a lie. And all these Christian parents telling them

Santa Claus coming, set out some milk and cookies. So

while they putting all your stuff together, your parents can

eat the milk and cookies. Santa Claus ain't getting jack.

You are celebrating and worshiping a lot. You can fix

it up any kind of way you want to, like

most churches do. If they call it trunk a tree.

You're still celebrating an evil day. You can't fix it up,

you can't put a mask on it. It is what

it is. God says, I don't have holidays. My days

are holidays. That's the one you love that says that.

But this is the day that the world wanted to

celebrate Jesus' birth day. Well, I'm here to tell you.

Every Sunday you come up in here, you're celebrating jesus birthday.

It's a celebration of Jesus birthday, not just on that

day you see his birthday day like ours. His day

is celebrated every Sunday you come up in here. And

I tell you what. Once a month we actually celebrate

his death buried resurrection. It's called holy communion. That's a

celebration of remembering. Do you remember when he was born? No,

But that's why you celebrated every Sunday. That way, you'll

get it right, because he was born one of these months,

so mine will celebrated all of them, one of them.

Were gonna get it right. We ain't got him all right.

But the world sets this side apart this day rather,

But it's not the dead. It's a lie. It's so

much of a lie, and it got so good to him.

They went on and said the Santa Claus is like God.

He know when you're sleeping, he know if you're awake.

They saying he's all knowing. Not just that he's all knowing,

is that he hits everybody on one night, on the

twenty fifth. He's omnipresent. It's a lie. It's blasphemy.

He's not like God. He's so much not like God.

He don't even exist, but God does. That's the lie.

Or and then they get even deeper into it. We're

gonna put the snowman out there. What the heck is

a snowman? Three big balls of snow. But they really not,

not only when it's snow. I'm not saying you can't

building something call them a snowman. But they put this

in representation of Jesus's birthday. And those reindeers they fly, well,

you know, I watched Wild Kingdom and stuff like that

all the time. Then them dreiors can't fly, but it's

only for a few seconds. And I promise you they're

not getting up orto the moon. They can't even jump

over my house. They can jump over my car. But

they can't jump over my house. That's only flying. They

doings when they leave, and they come right back down

because gravity gets control of them. Oh, and that wouldn't

lie enough. They come to the Temple of God, and

I believe most ministries have you come early that morning

and all of them take up an offer on Sunday

morning or whenever. What day is this day? On? What

is it on the Thursday this year? So most folks

ministry is going to be open to take up a

collection for Jesus. Of course, see the people of God,

don't you? Why are we not? See? The love of

God drives the wisdom that God gives us. The understanding

that God gives us. The knowledge that God gives us

is driven by the love of God. Now the world

has a wisdom that's driven by filial love, but God's

love a godpe is driven true love and understanding to

his people. And when you really look at all of it.

We talk about this Christmas. One lie is we don't

know when he was born, why we was celebrated. Second

lie is that Santa Claus is not God. So if

Christmas is all about Jesus Christ, how does Santa Claus

get in on it. We not using our wisdom everything

that man, show you everything that the devil looks like

an angel of light. There's a flower in there somewhere

that helps us to recognize that. Ain't God used to

use rabbits and eggs, But rabbits don't eggs. There's a flaw.

The devil is not ignorant, He's just stupid. And he

uses this against parents and auntie and whoever claiming to

be godmothers and fathers of these ones. He uses them

to them boozele you to celebrate these pagan holidays. He

uses the children because whenever I speak to people and

tell them about this, Oh man, it's for the kids. Okay,

that makes it right. That makes it right. It's for

the kids. Man. You should have told me that long

time ago. It's for the kids. Wrong answer. Kids go

to hell too, Oh yeah, they do. The Bible said

honor thy mother and thy Father that you may have

long life. That's a commandment, he'd asking. He ain't asking.

That's a commandment. We're taking the love of God out

of proportion and using it the way we want to

instead of the way he told us to do it.

Unconditional See, the love of God is unconditional. There's no condition.

His love ain't gonna change because you want a worship

of pagan how they ain't call it Jesus. It's not

gonna change. You want to have conditions with it. It's

for his children. Don't work with God. It don't work

with God. You fool yourself. That's all you're fooling, because

you ain't fooling God. You See, this day is all

we as society would say. See this twenty fifth day

is all about Jesus. While you mad if you don't

get a gift, then huh huh, it's all about Jesus.

Why are you mad? If you ain't got no money

to buy a gift? Why you mad? If you can't

buy no food to celebrate? Why are you mad? It's

all about Jesus? Another era, This day is all about him,

they say, But we have, but we have allowed the

world to call it a holiday. Even if it was

about him, it's not a holiday instead of the day

of worship for Jesus. Ain't nobody worshiping Jesus on this day?

For the most part, it's some folks, But ain't nobody

worshiping Jesus, and even in their worship, they need to

check theyselves. It's all right to worshipmen don't be worshiping

like it's his birthday. But how many people worship. They

ain't worship. The kids ain't thinking about no Jesus. They

waking up. They can't even sleep because they can't wait

to get up and go downstairs and look under that

demonic tree and find a present from that from Santa Claus. Mmmmmmm,

let me help y out, Let me help y'all, Let

me help y'all. Let me help y'all, Let me help y'all. Mmm. Jeremi.

Chapter ten. I want you to hear this here, this

here is here is here is God, the difference between

God and the idols. Hear ye, the word which the

Lord speaketh them to you, old house of Israel. Thus

said the Lord, learn not, learn not the way of

the heathen, the sinner, and be not dismayed at the

signs of heaven, for the heathens are dismayed at them.

I'm not done for the custom. Let me back up,

he says, learn not. This was God talking to his people,

not the way of the heathen. Then he goes on

the same third and three. For the customs of the

people are vain, they're futile. For one, cutting a tree,

whoa out of the forest. You ain't got to cut tree.

Now they already cutting it for you, and you go

bad one on the corner. The work of the hands

of the workmen with the axe. He didn't work the axe,

brother Dean, cut that tree down for you. Then you

got to go into the corner. Buy one. You ain't

got go in the forest. Then once you get that tree,

it says, they deck it with silver and with gold.

They fasten it with nails and with hammers. That it

moves not. They are upright as the palm tree. But

speak not. You know why don't speak? It's an idol.

They must need be born because they cannot go. Be

not afraid of them, for they cannot do evil. Neither

Also is it in them to do good? It says,

for as much as there is none like unto thee

O Lord, they are great, and thy name is great

in might head. I'm just telling you what the Bible says.

That tree is an idol. You're worshiping. I told you

you was worshiping an idol, demonic scripture, God's word. I

don't remember, y'all help me that they gave the kings.

I don't know how many kings us. People run around

saying it was three of them, but I don't know.

You know, the ones that came to Jesus as a

boy and brought him gifts. But I want you to

help you with that. Now, those gifts we wasn't given

to him when he was born. So it wasn't given

on his birthday. He was over two years old when

he got those gifts. Amen, somebody hallelujah. So when you're

talking around giving gifts because they gave Jesus gifts over, No,

he didn't. He wasn't his birthday. He was over two

years old. It wasn't his birthday. They brought gifts to

him because they recognized him as a king. Wasn't his

birthday they recognized him as a king. So that's delusion

up for you and all your presence you're buying now

for this day of the evil that you're working in

the sight of God talking about Hallelujah, Thank you Jesus.

But Jesus ain't thankful, and your hallelujahs a vain ain't man.

Somebody I know y'all don't like this. Should have been deeply

rooted in it, then deeply rooted in it. It's hard

to bring you, you know, some trees, it's hard to

get him out of the ground because the roots are

so strong they holding on. But I'm here to tell

you they bad roots. And because this day is taken

out of contents, the meaning of the day has become

commercialized because it ain't about Jesus. Y'all work with me now,

think about it. It ain't about Jesus. It's about commercialism so

that the world can prosper monetarily off of his birth day.

Where at the stars say we make a who we

come up out of the red black one, the one

they call it. We prospered that day. Why folks out

there spinning s finish, spinnish, spinish, spinning some start they

spending in August and still spending in December for that day.

On the twenty fifth of December, my sister called me

and said her daughter was struggling to buy presents for

her three kids. Can I send her some money? I said,

I wouldn't give you a dime. I said, go buy

Jesus a present, because it ain't your children's birthday. You

know what my sister said, you right, And I just

want to thank you for helping me. You're welcome. I

ain't giving you a dime for no presence for your kids.

It's not your kids' birthdate. The world's already prospering of

his birth so called birth date. Off all you saints,

to y'all out there spending two and then what you're

gonna do. Go to the church because you need some money,

because you can't pay your bisi and bo all them presents.

This church won't help you. The Bible say, don't strengthen

the hand of the wicked. And if you celebrating the day,

you're doing a wicked act. Not that you're wicked, but

it's in a wicked act. We have gotten lost. Not

the world's already lost. We mean us, the people of God,

have gotten lost in the commercialism of what the world celebrates.

And that's the reason why. And if you're lost, then

the love has diminished. For your Lord to say, for

Jesus Christ, who you love the most? The tree, the

fat man in the right in red suit, the day?

Your children? Yeah, your children? Who do you love the most? Jesus?

Are them your actions prove who you love the most.

You can say whatever you want to say, your actions

prove it. You're celebrating what the world celebrates. That's what

you love the most. What the Bible say about your

heart and your treasure, well, your heart is, your treasure is,

or your treasure is your heart is. We are so

commercialized this day, and they call it his birthday. But

guess what isn't it ironic and so sad that it's

supposed supposed to be supposed to be Jesus' birthday and

he's left out of his own birthday. Whoa? He don't

even get a gift. It's supposed to be his birthday.

He don't even get a gift. We've left him out. WHOA? Wow,

another era left the matter of his own birthday. We've

forgotten what it's all supposed to be about. We have

forgotten selfish rings a bell on this day that the

world claims is his day. You're selfish. Jesus don't even

get a gift. But your tree do get many gifts

up under it. Yeah, but Jesus ain't nothing none of

that for Jesus. There's nothing under your tree for Jesus.

How right, that's crazy. It's his birthday. But ain't nobody

got a present for up under the tree? Whoa left out?

Forgotten what it's all about? Selfish. Jesus is the gift

God gave him to us. Jesus is the gift of

all days, not just that day, not what you buy

with your money, because you couldn't buy him with money.

He was free that give it. How many gifts can

you go to the store and get for free the

ones you steal? And those ain't free either, because when

you get caught, you're gonna pay. And if you don't

get caught, then you gonna get caught later if you

don't repent. See, you only get by. You never get away.

You just get by. You don't never get away. Jesus

is the gift of all gifts. But the people of

God have lost focus, lost focus. This is how they

see in right now. The people of God say it

like this, can't see. Can't see because the world told

you this is what you're supposed to do on this day,

so you can't see. You're blind hy But Jesus is

the gift. If you can see that, then the blinds

will come off. But the Church has lost focus. The

world has caused us to believe that if we don't

get a gift from someone, we have been done wrong

on that day. Who my God, if you don't get

a gift on his birthdate, you been done wrong. WHOA.

But really, in actuality, spiritually speaking, it is us who

have done him an injustice. Jesus went through a great

d but we forget that on that day. He has

went through a great deal to free us. So that

this are these days that we could focus on celebrating

and praising him and giving him the glory each and

every day for all he has done for us. Look

at all these Look at all these churches. They so

sympathetic and passionate. It's Christmas. We gonna feed. That's gonna

feed them, you know, the home great and the holeness

and stuff. Man, they want to eat every day. You

have some real compassion, feed them every day. So good

on around this he just feel given. Feel it all

in my spirit deep down in here. They have to

pass into place, say God, bless you, God bless you. No,

you bless him. But what God gave you the gives See,

we just we just turned into something different around the town. Huh,

We just get all special. We should be all special

every day because He got to be living in us

and lifting us up every day. And for compassion for people,

those that are struggling, those that need help, those that

are being unlawfully unjust dealt with. But we get a

special sense of all of them folks when they come

around this time. Mm hmm. We gotta be praising him

every day, not just trying to give him. And they

ain't even praising him on the twenty field folks setting

up in the ministries on that day when they when

those pastors telling them how were having an early month

where they call it Sunrise service, that's the Eastern Service.

And they don't even knowing this Sunrise service is all about.

See that sunrise said come way back a wrong they

were fake facing the east anyway. That's another story. But

at the end of the day they get all compassionate,

won't you there, And they say, we want to give

to Jesus before you give to each other. Well, and

nothing to give to each other. But Jesus ain't your birthday,

that's what they calling it. I'm just ting to help

everybody mad at me because you got a tree in

your house and stuff, and you're worshiping a pagan god.

The God I save went through a great deal. Ain't

giving no tree, no worship with no praise, no presence,

no fat man and a white and a red suit.

Who's a pedophile one of all those kids sitting on

his lap. He went through a great deal. And we

can't focus on that deal, you know, you know what.

We want to focus on him Sunday, and most folks

ain't even focused then. And then we get all here

at you, Jesus, we all in we in this house.

You still worshiping an idol, You worshiping this building because

you're up in here. You won't want to cut up

in here. As soon as you leave it, you're gonna

cut up. You still ain't got the love of God,

isn't you? You got a temporary aphilio and not a

god ping these soon as the pastor the reason Bill

Dick say, hey man, you talking bad about somebody ready

to fight, fighting in the parking lot, fighting in the

inside of God's house. You gotta love God in you.

You ain't even hear for him. And we say this

time of the year is for him. But yes, the

suicide rate is the highest in this time of the year.

Imagine that, in the time of the year we supposed

to be joyful, cheerful, hat bee because of Jesus. You

know the funny thing about Jesus. I'm almost done. You know,

y'all sitting in front of the basketball game. Football games

through the end. Don't even want to miss Run during

the intermission and get your popcorn, drink hairim get back

because you're gon'n miss nothing. Well, don't miss this this,

keep your live. That football game ain't gonna do nothing

for you. You know. Let me tell you something funny

about Jesus. If the twenty five was his birthday, he

don't require you to give him a gift. Imagine that

he doesn't even require you to give him a present.

The only thing he requires you to give him a

life kept holy and obedient to him his all. And

he even gives you the stress to do that, because

He is the reason for this in all seasons. So

the Bible says in John three fourteen through seventeen, as

Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so

much the son of Man be lifted up, that whosoever

believe it in him should not perish but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world that he gave he

didn't get. He gave his best gift, his only forgotten son,

that whosoever believed in him should not perish, but have

eternal life. For God sent not his son into the

world to condemn the world, but the world through him

might be saved. Hey, man, look at him giving. I

ain't hear him getting nothing, and that he wants you

to give. Guess what he gave it to you. He

gave you life. He gave you the breath that you breathe,

the joy that you feel. He just wants you to

He just wants you to give back that life by

living holy and being obedient to his word. That's all

he wants. Hein't asking everybody give him no gift, just

the life that he gave. You give it and holiness

and obedience towards him. That's free because the power that's

needed for that he gave you through the God. They

love of God. Without the God, they love of God.

You cannot love Jesus without the a God, the love

of God. You cannot forgive people. See the world told

you forgive them forget. That's what the world said God

had never told you to forgive and forget. It's nowhere

in description. He said forgive and let it go, not forget,

because he's wise. See that's why, that's why man's wisdom

is foolishness to God, forgive and forget. Hey, you're gonna

forget it. You got a brain, don't you. You gotta

memory in your brain, don't you. Your memory gonna keep

you remembering. But God said, forgive and let it go.

He know you're gonna remember it, but let it go.

Let it go. How do you let it go? By

the love of God. The love of God persuades you.

The love of God motivates you. The love of God

empowers you to be able to let it go and

to forgive, the love of God does that motivates you,

push you to let it go. The enemy gonna keep

reminding you of it. That's why you know you ain't

gonna forget, because he gonna keep your mind you of it.

Every time you see that person. You remember what they

said about you, You remember what they did. You know

he owe you about fifty dollars. Do you know he

owe you that money, don't you? But God said let

it go. God said, let it go and forgive them.

But the only the love of God can empower you

to do something. Hmm. So I got a question, and

I'm concluding with this question. I'm gonna ask you what

are you celebrating? What are you celebrating on that day

that's supposed to be for Jesus? What do you celebrate?

Because if you got a treat in your house, you

can't serve two masters. You can't celebrate that treating them

gifts and Jesus. Either you're gonna celebrate Jesus. Are you

gonna celebrate this pagan holiday?

And if you choose the pagan holiday, then your love

for your Savior is not where it need to be.

You See, this walk ain't easy, he said, I never

said it would be easy. As a matter of fact,

he said, if you follow after me and serve me, you.

Gonna suffer some things. What things are you gonna suffer?

You might suffer the ridicule of people saying you're evil

because you don't celebrate Jesus' birthday on the twenty fifth.

Thank you for helping me, sister. They gonna call you,

that's why they made that movie. They're gonna call you scrooge.

Scrooge had the right idea until those demons came. Those

demons came and changed his mind, them ghosts. He had

the right idea. Baha humbug. There ain't Jesus birthday. They

ain't celebrating this. So the question is on the table

and the question is personal. And this is for all

of them who are listening on the airways this morning,

at every country that we're broadcasting in, and for those

that are in this house today, what are you celebrating

and whatever it is, why are you celebrating it? Because

if it ain't Jesus, it ain't worth celebrating. Amen, getting

no whole lot of amen on that. Amen. Anyhow, the

truth has been spoken, Amen, Amen, let us stand
