THE WORD OF GOD

Read these scriptures here in chapter fourteen of Saint John,

verses one through three. When you get there, say man,

if you're not there, say wait on me, Hey man,

let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God.

Believe also in me. In my father's house are many mansions.

If it were not so, I would have told you

I go to prepare a place for you. And if

I go and prepare a place for you, I will

come again and receive you. Unto me that where I

am there ye may be. Also Can you say, man,

may be seated in the house of the Lord.

I've titled this. You must believe.

It is necessary, absolutely a requirement amen in your faith

walk with God. Jesus says also in John chapter eight

and verse twenty four. And he goes on to say

in eight and verse twenty four that I said therefore

unto you that ye shall die in your sins. Are

you hearing this? For if you believe not that I am,

he ye shall die in your sins. He said there twice.

So believe you must believe. Aymen, I titled this.

You must believe because Jesus said, therefore you that shall

die in your sins? I said therefore unto you that

ye shall die in your sins. For if ye believe

believe not that I am, he, ye shall die in

your sin. If we believe not, in order to do

the will of the Father. You're hearing this, the will

of the Father. We must believe in God and in Christ.

We will certainly not do that if we do not

do what he tells us to do.

Amen. Because the requirement for believing in God.

In Christ is doing what God has told us to do.

So we must believe in God and in Christ. Otherwise

we will die in our sins and be lost.

If we don't believe in God and in Christ.

We will certainly not do what they tell us if

God is to be believed in at all. This is

why people who say they believe in God, but they

don't do what he says they believe not. I don't

care what their mouth say, their heart is far from it.

That's what God means when he says that, because not

only must we believe in God and do what He

say do, we must believe in God and do all

that He say do so we must believe fully. In

other words, because Hebrews eleven six says, but with our faith,

it is impossible to please him. For he who comes

to God must must believe that He is, and that

he is a reward of those who dilingly seek him.

In other word, God does not settle for just acknowledgement

of his existence. A whole lot of people believe he exists.

He don't settle for just that.

He wants a personal relationship that will transform your life

because you believe in him.

So we must generously seek to.

Know all that God wants us to do, and then

we must gladly do it.

Because God said, I love a cheerful giver. Most folks

here they think about money.

He talking about giving of your time, giving of your mind,

giving of your substance.

Amen.

He loves a cheerful giver, and he loves those that

do what he say do.

But not only do what he say do.

He loves it that you do it gladly, Amen. Because

believe faith is an absolute requirement, and all your rituals

mean nothing without it, nothing don't mean nothing. A whole

lot of people, they go through all these rituals, they

don't believe God. One of the rituals they go through

is coming to church on Sunday. That's one of the

rituals that they go through. But believe not, it's for nothing.

Where's your faith that you just coming because of Sunday.

We've been over that whole spiel. That's been a sermon

almost every Sunday. So Jesus said, do you believe in

God in Christ with all your heart? This is what

he asks. That's why he says. He says with all

your heart. That means with your whole mind. There's no doubt,

there's no contradict there's no waiver. Amen, there's no compromise.

That's with your whole heart. So do you believe in

God and Christ with all of your heart? And do

you believe in them to the point that you have

all the confidence in the world in them, and that

you will do anything somebody say, anything and everything they

tell you to do.

See, that's how you gotta believe.

In them and everything and in anything did he.

Tell you to do. I remember when God told me

to do a certain thing.

I told you about that situation sitting on the third

row in the chapel, and God told me to get up.

I had to believe. I didn't believe it right then,

But when.

God showed me, yes, I was talking to you, and

this is what I told you to do because he

told me. But somebody else did it, so I knew

he was talking to me because it.

Happened just like he said it was supposed to happen.

But I didn't do it. But somebody, say a second

chance spoke to me again when the service is ending

and told me the same thing. He didn't change a word.

I got up so quick I forgot I was setting

in that seat and did just what God said do.

I said, all thing and everything amen that He tells

us to do, not what we choose to do, because

God would tell us to do something, and we'll choose

to do something else, not what we choose to do,

but what God tells us to do. If we will not,

then we are no different than the people that we

read about in the Book of John, chapter twelve and

forty two, and the people that we see that will

do a ritual every Sunday.

We just like them, just like them.

And in the Book of John, chapter twelve, it talks

about these people in verse forty two, twelve and forty two.

It says here in forty two, nevertheless, among the chief rulers. Also,

many believe on him, but because of the Pharisees, they

did not confess him. They didn't acknowledge him, not publicly.

Least they should be put out of the synagon, for

they loved the praise of men more than the praise

of God. Amen. The Jewish leaders believed in Jesus, but

was afraid to admit to it because the Pharisees would

expel them from the synagon. Their faith was weak. They

had faith, but the faith was weak because they were

still subject to the lure of human praise. That's just

like today. There are saints today. They won't even mention

Jesus in public. We like to say God, they won't

say Jesus. Jesus. Jesus is a stumbling for him. They'll

say God, but they won't say Jesus. But he tells

us in the Book of John, chapter five and verse

forty four, how can you believe, which receive honor one

of another and seek not the honor that cometh from

God alone?

How can you believe? How can you believe?

For they love the praises of men more than the

praises of God, and they do in this day and time.

They love the praises of men. The men is all

these folks down man in his poor pit, these podiums.

But you must understand that your sinful life cannot be

covered by the blood if you don't believe, and if

you don't believe in Jesus Christ, then you are in

dwelling or dowing in spiritual suicide. Amen, Because if you

don't believe, you're not gonna make it. And you must

believe all that's to be believed. I spoke in Sunday

school to day. I was really disturbed by the young

lady that I was talking to a couple of weeks ago,

and uh, I'm always talking about the Bible, even dealing

with my customers. And she was a customer, and I

said to her, do you believe in the Bible? Yeah,

been in church long than I have. But she told

me something disturbing. She said that the Bible contradicts itself.

I asked her, I said, do you believe the Bible

contradicts yourself? And she said yes.

So if you.

Believe that the Bible contradicts itself, then you don't believe

in the whole Bible.

Amen.

Somebody, And if you don't believe in the whole Bible.

I said, I'm using the word.

If you don't.

Believe in the whole Bible, then you will die and

go to Hell in your sin. For if it's verse

eight and twenty four says in the Book of John,

if you do not believe that I am He, you

will die.

She don't believe. If you don't believe in the whole Bible.

Then you don't believe in that He is who he

say he is.

Hey, man, you can't believe some of.

It, not all of it, because if you don't believe

all of it, then you're not gonna do all that

he tells you to do. But you're gonna choose what

you wanna do in certain situations and circumstances. Aymen. And

if you do that, you're no different from those ritual

folks because they believe in God and they believe there

is a God, but they don't believe in everything God says.

Why because they want to believe in what they want

to do. But many people believe that the redemptive faith

is merely a willing disposition to trust in God. It's

only a willing disposition to trust in Christ as their

personal savior, independent of any further acts of obedience. In

other words, save me, Lord, but please don't tell me

what to do. It is a complete alien notion to them.

Amen.

It is a complete notion that is alien from the

truth of the Bible. And anything that's not in the

Bible is an alien truth of the Bible. Amen, Living again,

as I say and will say probably every Sunday, because

I want you to always be reminded and be mind

four of the dispensation of time that we're living in.

We're not living in this dispensation of time just to

be living in it. It has purpose. This is a

directive of the end of it all. And the truth

must go forward because He's a loving, trusting and he's

a loving, trusting and a faithful God. And the fact

that he is that just God, that which we have

believed in organizational teaching and denominational teaching of organizational teaching.

Is being uncovered now.

But it's hard for us to believe because we have

believed it for so long. Amen. Denominational organizational teaching is

not of the Bible, ay man. An is alien from

the Bible. People have dressed it up for you and me,

but we.

Must know the truth, because when He comes, we will

be without excuse. You must get in your word and

study even the very teachings and preachings that I give you,

and believe and know it's directly from God. I do

not preach for my own selfish desires.

I do I teach for that, like all of these,

most of these preachers do. I do not preach for that.

I preach for the souls of the people of God,

not to be lost, but to be saved. And you

cannot disregard the truth of this Word.

You must believe.

And if you believe, then you must react to what

you believe. And you must live what you believe about

this Word, and be cautious and mindful of the wisdom

and the follies that this word teaches you. Amen, because

a belief that will not accept and do all that

God tells us to do is not enough.

It's not enough.

If this is the case, then we are no better

than the demons. A belief that will not accept and

do all that God tells us to do is not enough.

Why because even the demons believe this case. And in

the Book of James, chapter two, the Bible indicates does

in chapter two and verse nineteen that though it says

thy believe it that there is one God, thy does well.

You believe there's one God, You do very well. The

devils also believe and tremble. So they also believe and

tremble the demon's faith. Hear me good. The demon's faith

does not lead them to love God or obey him.

They believe in him, but the belief does not lead

them to love Him, and it does not lead them

to obey him. But the saints faith in believing God

should lead us to pleasing Him in all our ways

and being in unity with Him. Amen. The demons have

complete and thorough conviction the demons. You got to compare

this now. If the demons have this thorough conviction that

there is one God, and look at all these people

talking about all these different gods. But the demons believe

there's only one God. But they are terrified by that truth,

and they believe in God only to hate and resist

him in every way they can. But they believe in

one God. When all these folks believe in all these

gods all over the world Buddha heavy Kishener. They believe

in the God or they preacher of the God of this,

and they but one God.

The demons even believe it.

They're going to hell, but they believe it's one God.

They don't love him, but they believe it's one God,

and they believe it into the hurt of it. They

hate it because guess what, they know. They know it's true,

and they know he's true. The demons know he's true.

And we're still trying to figure out if it's true.

How ironic is that.

They believe that there is one God?

And the Bible says you do well because the demons

believe is one God too, and they believe in They tremble,

We believe, and we arrogant, but they only believe in God.

The hate and resist Him in every way they can

their faith. The demon's faith only moves them to a

negative reaction to God. That's all. Our faith should always

move within a positive direction of God.

Because our belief.

Is a work of God that God requires of us.

What does God require us?

He requires that the work of us is to believe him.

The work is to believe, aymen, The work is to believe.

Our belief is the work that God would have us

to do.

Believe in Him.

Let's look at John chapter six, and we're gonna, We're gonna,

We're gonna.

We were just proven by the Bible.

Hey Man, John chapter six, verse twenty nine, says John

chapter six and verse twenty four. When the people therefore

saw that Jesus was not there, he wasn't never he

got there, neither was his disciples. They also took ship

and came to Capronium. So they took ship and came

into the Komproma. So in other words, they got into

a ship, They got into a boat and came to

a campernia. And why did they do that? They were

seeking for Jesus. And when they had found him on

the other side of the sea, they said, unto him, rabbi,

which means teacher, when comes die hither? When'd you get here? Doc?

Jesus answered them.

And said, verly, verily, I say unto you. I'm gonna

tell you why you seek me, Not because you saw

the miracles, but because you did eat of the lows

and were filled. This is when he had fed the

five thousand. Y'all only seeking me because of the miracles.

You ain't seeking me for me. You seeking me for

the signs of the miracles that you saw and then

he goes on to say, labor not for the meat

which perish, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life,

which the son of Man shall give unto you for

him hath God the Father sealed. Then said they unto him,

what shall we do that we might work the works

of God?

Jesus answered and said unto them, this is.

The work of God.

I just told you what it was.

That ye believe on him who he had sent. This

is the work that you believe on him. What is

your work to believe on him? Jesus answered and said

unto them, this is the work of God that ye

believe in in him whom he sent.

So I believe must.

Be an obedient belief in all the things that God

tells us to do. We cannot have selective obedience like

some folks have. You can't have selective obedience and be

pleasing to God. Our obedience is how we show our love.

Our obedience. I'm repeating things because I want you to

get this thing. Our obedience is how we show our

love to God and Christ. Because John said to fourteen

and twenty one, he that has my commandments and keeps them,

is it he who loves me, and he who loves

me will be loved of my father. Love means more

than words. It requires a commitment of action. It means

more than words. It requires a commitment an action. I

love you, Lord, I do love you, Lord, and you're

not doing anything to.

Show your love. You don't even witness the people. You

won't even mention Jesus, but.

You love him. I bet if I was a better man.

When you get that boo, you tell his whole name,

John P.

Jenkins.

You know that's my man, your whole name. You don't

just give him a title, my boo, John P. Jenkins,

that's my man.

Girl.

You don't know John, John P. Jenkins. He's good to me, baby.

How come you can't say Jesus is good to me baby?

Jesus is good, God is good. Now Jesus is good

to me baby. They can't call him bad name, they

can't come back name hm. So if we love Christ,

we will abandon all we do religiously that is not

found in the Bible and do all things that Christ

wants us to do. Amen. If we believe in him.

It's always if, because it's conditional, and the reason why

it's conditional because we have choice. Amen, So if we

love Christ, we will abandon all we do religiously that

is not found in the Bible. Like celebrating Christmas. They

ain't found in the Bible. Easter is only found in

the Book of Acting. That means Passover, and you don't

celebrate it, right, you celebrated religiously without understanding that Estra

was a statue in the Roman days as a statue

for fertility, and that ain't got nothing to do with

the passover. Somebody say, man, but if we love Christ,

we will abandon all we do religiously that is not

found in the Bible and do all things that Christ

wants us to do. But we don't because the pressures

of life causes us to compromise. That's why we keep

putting that tree up every Christmas. That's why we secretly

be going to all these different churches.

Is representing themselves.

That's why they dress up. They represent Christ's represent themselves

everybody by the kids. If any day of the year

the kids har gonna be clean, their clothes gonna be clean,

and her gonna be came on Eastern they representing themselves

and they got their new dress on and their big

fat hats, and they got their new suits on, and

they talk about it.

I thought we came in to talk about Jesus. When

you get to.

Suit that man, it's bad boy. Them shoes is kicking.

I didn't know we came here to do that. Those

of us that believe, see, we say we believe what

we compromise. You cannot compromise and believe God, because if

you compromise, you're not doing all that he said do.

And he says, I want all of you. He said,

I want your whole heart, I want your whole mind.

We can't compromise what God knows. I love him and

you are him. God knows I love her and you

a hug.

Well, you ain't doing all God says do because God

said it's an abomination for a man to live with

another man like a woman. You're not doing all he

said do.

Well, we in love.

Yeah, but y'all living together and you ain't married. Well,

we love each other, okay, but the bedroom is up

the fire. Only if you're married. It's only, honorable brother,

if you married. And furthermore, you have no certificate of marriage,

so you in fornication. And if she's married, and you

sleep with her. She's in adultery and you in funication

with the reason why I'm with him because my husband

don't pay out attention to me.

Yeah, and adultship girl, shut up.

The Bible says when you made a vow to God,

it says better to make it's better not to make

a vow than to make a valor to not keep it.

And you made a vow and said for better worse

to God. You thought you was talking to that person

that was across from you when the preacher was uniting

you and married a ceremony, but you was actually making

that vow to God. See a lot of people don't

know that when they get married, when they stand up

here and make them vows, they think they facing each

other and give them a vow, and he give her

val and he give his val. You making those vows

of God, and then when you don't keep that val,

y'are not doing all that he said do. And guess

what that means. You don't believe in That's what he says.

Don't get mad at me, y'all, Russian. Don't rush up

here with me.

Let'm just telling you what the words say. If we

love Christ.

And I know there's not one in here, a one

that may be listening.

That knows the Lord and believes in him, will.

Never say that on love him. But this is what he.

Says about that love.

If you love Christ, we will abandon all we do

religiously that is not found in the Bible. In other words,

when you love him, you'll only do what he says do.

And the only dudes of him is in the Bible, not.

In a man, not in religiously religious acts, organizational teaching,

denominational teaching, but in this Bible. And you will do

all the things that he asks you to do. Why

because you want to cherish him. Because the only work

that God wants us to do is believe in Him,

his son. But for some reason we feel better trying

to earn God's favor. You can earn God's favor rather

than accepting it as a gift. You want to earn it,

can earn it. It's a gift. A gift is free.

Eternal life is a gift. It cannot be earned. The

only work to be done is to believe in Jesus,

not working for favor in God. The work is to believe,

and this love requires commitment. And action. Amen.

So in this conclusion of mine that God has given me.

In the Book of Matthews, just before Jesus ascended back

into Heaven, he commanded his disciples in Matthews twenty eight,

nineteen and twenty to go, therefore, are you listening because

he talking to you. He's just talking to them. He's

also talking to you and me. Go therefore and make

disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of

the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you.

So the question is, have your witness to anybody this week?

Our faith in Him must lead us to observe all things.

Understand what I'm saying. The faith that you have in

Jesus has to lead you. Are you with me? The

faith that you have in Jesus must lead you. They

must lead you. Not the faith that got in the

man that leads you. But the faith that you have

in Jesus must lead you to observe all things the

Lord has commanded us to do. In order for you

to please, we must be led by the faith, by

what we believe in Jesus. What we believe in Jesus

leads us to do what he tells us to do.

The faith that they had in that wicked president led

all of them people to commit a crime against the

United States of America, treason. Let all them people believe

in him. I'll beat y'all down there. They believe that

he never showed up. Jesus ain't like that, and Jesus

don't have to show up either, y'all already there. How

is it that we can do with a heathen who

has no heaven in hell? And then leading us in

the wrong way is leading us to hell. And we're

following the path to hell consciously and by choice, instead

of a path by being led by Jesus to eternal

life with the Father and comfort and peace, enjoy it

and happiness and pleasures.

But we're following a path to doom.

And gloom and torture and pain. Our faith in Jesus

should lead us down that path, because that's the path

he walks. We cannot select just certain commands of God

to obey not to do this. But the ain't really

the Bible saying about that. Now, man, I read it,

I understand it. He said, I can drink this. I

can drink this vodkal as long as I don't have

a food, it's all right. Brother asked me that I

told y'all about it.

Somebody.

It's okay for him to drink as long as he

don't really act the food. And I said, well, let

me ask you a question. If you think it's right

before God, the moment you drink that alcohol and Jesus

comes back, are you presenting your body a living sycrifice

holy and accept the want of God with alcohol in

your body, with a blemish in your body.

He don't accept that. Blemishes pure and defil is what

he accepts. He got real silent and changed the subject.

So we cannot select just certain commands to obey of God.

We can't just select certain things. We can't have selectiveness

like some people have selective memory.

You gave him five dollars two days ago, and man,

I didn't remember.

Selective memory. We cannot ignore. We cannot have selective memory,

nor can we have.

What what's the word rationalization.

We can't rationalize away any of his commandments. You can't

rationalize them. It is what it is. There's no rationalism.

It's stern truth.

That's all it is.

You can't rationalize it just because we don't like it

and didn't expect to be saved. I said, it didn't

expect to be saved. To believe in him is to

obey fully, not rationalizing, not doing what we want to do,

and doing some of it not all of it. Hebrews

is speaking of crisis. And I'm concluding with this in

chapter five and verse nine says, and having been perfected,

he became the author of eternal salvation to all who

obey him. If here we go with that again, Christ

is to be the author of our eternal salvation, then

he must.

Be obeyed with the obedience of faith.

Respect for Jesus as our Lord means doing what he says.

And for the reason he says, Luke tells us six

and forty six, But we do. But why do you

call me lord? He said in respect to him is

to do? Author he says, to do. But he says

in Luke six and forty six, but why do you call.

Me lord lord.

And not do the things which I say? Why do

you call me lord? Lord? Stand why Jesus asking that question?

Why do you call me lord?

Lord?

Lord Lord?

What is lord? He's lord over your life. He's leading

your life. He's in control of your life.

Why do you call me lord lord and you don't

do what I say? Do? Why if you're.

Still in control, I'm not lord?

So why he says in verse forty six of chapter

six of Luke, do you call me lord lord and

do not the things which I say? Jesus is not

our lord. He's not if we do not do what

he says, you are willing? And so are you willing

rather for Jesus to be your lord.

And save you? And I noticed this.

I said, I was gonna tell y'all during the sermon

what I meant in Sunday school. And I'm definitely concluding

with this thought. There is such.

Hm.

There's a belief, and it is written in the Bible

that at the end times, all of those that believe

in Buddha herry kishener Allah and all these other gods

that they serve Eestra and all these other gods. At

the end of it all, the Bible says, every need

shall buy and whatever time I'm gonna do, gonna fast,

and what they're gonna confess, Jesus is Lord. Now watch us,

Now watch your y'all didn't get all of that. I'm

getting fins. I'm finna clear it up for your real

good in the end of time.

Jesus don't crack that skuy.

And the Bible says that every need shall buy every need.

I don't care what you believe.

Then you might have believed in your mama, your daddy,

your grandmammy, your children. But every need gonna buy to Jesus,

and every tongue, every tongue, they ain't gonna be confessing

Allah Buddha. Every tongue is gonna confess this saying that

Jesus Christ, just like the Pharisee said he must when

he died on the.

Cross, be the son of God.

Every tongue is gonna confess that he is Lord. But

guess what, at that time, He's not gonna be everyone savior.

That's what you're missing.

Every tongue gonna confess he Lord. They're gonna acknowledge that

Jesus Christ is God, but they're not gonna get a savior.

They're only gonna get a Lord.

Lord. You get a savior before he comes, no more

savior after he comes. So every time's gonna confess that

Jesus Christ is Lord of it needs gonna bend. But

everyone's not gonna get a savior. Even those that are

confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord, never did. They're going

to hell. They're not getting a savior. They're only getting

the Lord. Guess why, Because the commandment of God is

that depart from me, you workers of iniquity. That's lordship

right there. That's him telling them where to go. In

the Bible because of the way they live. You're gonna

get a Lord.

You're not gonna get a savior.

So we must believe in everything as Jesus Christ as

Lord and Savior. We can't run around like the world

and says save me Lord. Like people, they want to

be saved. They want to be saved from poverty, they

want to be saved from bills, but they don't want

to be told what to do with the rest of

their money.

It's just the same.

They want to They wanna savior, but they don't want

a lord.

That's the way in the world they want to say.

People want to be saved, they don't want me in trouble.

They don't want to be They don't want to be

in trouble. They don't want to suffer. They want to

be saved from the suffering. Even even the leopards were

saved from the suffering, but did not accept.

Him as lord.

Many miracles he did. He was.

Their savior, but not their Lord.

So you gotta ask yourself today, do you believe in

the way he calls us to believe him as savior

and Lord? Hey, man, give
