IS YOUR LIFE REALLY HIS

And thank and praise God for everyone that's here today.

Man Amen, let us pray and go before the Lord

for the reason and purpose that we're all here today.

going and comings today. Thank you for this fellowship that

we have each and every Sunday. In the name of Jesus.

Thank you Lord for waking us up and allowing us

to be in our right mind where the mind stayed

on you. Father, in the name of Jesus, we come

to give you glory and we come to give you praise.

We thank you for watching over our family members. We

thank you for watching over our friends and even our associates,

and we pray God that we will give a word

to them someday that they would too come into your fold.

In the name of Jesus, we ask that you continue

to watch over us and keep us safe. Lord, continue

to hover over us, Father and in us Father, in

the name of Jesus, helping us to keep our mind

Every enemy to come against us, God, we thank you

for rebuking them and giving us the victory in the

name of Jesus. Thank you for our health and our strength.

Thank you for a right mind. God, So many people

are losing it any day and time. Thank you for mind. God.

To hold on to you, Lord, in Jesus' holy name,

we pray, thank God, Amen and Amen. In the Book

of Psalms, chapter fifty one, very familiar passages of scripture,

this is a time where David had done wrong, a

time when Nathan the prophet came to David after he

had gone in to Bathsheba. And David was a man

after God's own heart. Amen. Even though David sinned against

God multiple sin at one time, yet David was considered

a man after God's own heart, because David had a

heart of repentance and a heart after God. When he

done wrong, he immediately repented. And you don't read nowhere

where David even went back to the sin that he

had committed anymore.

Amen.

So we look here in Psalms fifty one at verse ten,

and it says, this is David. He's gone to God.

He doesn't want to. He know he has sinned against God,

even though he sin against Eriah and his wife. But

yet David considered the sin was against God, which all

sin is against God. So David said to him, he

knew he messed up. And he said in verse teen,

and creating me a clean heart, O God, and renew

a right spirit within me. He wanted a stadfast spirit.

The spirit stood fast on God. Cast me not because

he didn't want to do this. No more, cast me

not away from Thy presence, and take not thy holy

spirit from me.

He didn't want to lose.

God, restoring to me the joy of Thy salvation and

own and uphold me within thy free spirit his generosity.

Then will I teach transgress us thy ways, and sinners

shall be converted unto thee.

Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O.

God, thy God of my salvation, and my tongue shall

sing aloud of thy righteousness, his blood guiltiness where he

killed Oriah killed, Oh Lord, open thy my lips, and

my mouth shall show forth thy praise. If you open

up my mouth my lips gonna show forth thy praise. Amen,

you may be seated in the house of the Lord.

We're living in a day and time where you have

where we have no respect in life. Are for life? Amen?

These are the times we living in.

There's no respect of life, and there's no respect for life.

People are killing people over a very just a very circumstances.

You look, looking at what you say to me, and

people and a lot of people are looking to do

something just to be doing it. Some people are waiting

on the right moment where they can pounce on whoever

and whomever. And because of these gun laws, are these

gun no laws, folks are waiting to see what they

gun can do to a person.

I truly believe. I truly believe this. Unless God show

me something else to put something else in.

My spirit, I shrurely believe that these young folks are

shooting people just to see what a bullet to do

to them.

I believe that, I really do so.

We are living in a day and time where we

have no respect for each other. We don't respect the

pastor of the temble, the members, ourselves, and all of

that really leads unto is it that at least that

we really don't respect God. And we know the world

don't respect God, but we should respect God.

But the Church don't. And this is David.

David didn't respect God in that sense because his flesh

wanted something. And if David had been where he was

supposed to be, he wasn't seen by She was beauty

on the roof bathing.

Amen.

So we can say what we want to, but the

fact that we don't respect God, that's just what it is.

Amen, because if we respect See.

David, David went and got somebody else's wife, brought her,

had them brought, had them, had her brought to him

rather he was the king. And then after he did

what he did, found out the woman got pregnant. He

tried to get he tried to get a riot to

sleep with the with his wife so that he could say,

all that's your baby now. All that didn't work because

the riot was so loyal to David, and they was

going in war at the time.

He stayed near Davy.

He wouldn't go home, we slept on the stay, wouldn't

go nowhere, He wouldn't go.

To his wife's.

Okay, the next thing to do is put him in

front of the put her on the front line.

That's what he did. So when he did that, he

was out.

He wasn't respecting God, who gave him all of these victories, Amen,

and who was giving him all of these victories. So

all of this, like I said, leads up to this too,

is that we don't respect God. And you can say

what you want to, but that's just what it is. Amen,

you don't respect God. Why do I say that you

don't respect God? I'm glad you had because when you

disrespect the pastor or the temple of God are his people?

You disrespect God God. Amen. The world unknowingly and some

knowingly disrespect the people of God. It's because the people

of God have not respected themselves and have not respected God.

Amen.

That's the reason this look how the world looks at

us today. Hey man, this is how they look at

the church today. The church ain't no big The church

ain't no big deal to the people out there of

the day. It's not even a big deal to the

people who go to church anymore today. And that's why

this title of this is called is your life really His?

Is your life really his? Because if your life, see

if your life is really his, Then the world will

see that your life is really his. I had an

encounter at the hardware store the other day and I

was in there getting some stuff from my job, and

this one guy I was two hours over and I

could hear him talk, and I said, I know where

that is because his favorite word is mL. That's his

famed word. I can hear him over there talking. It

comes out as and if he had six words in

a sentence, had come out four times. So I walked

over there, right, they know who I am in there,

and I was. I was asking my brother in there.

He was building something for this plumber and the guy

was kept talking. I say, man, you know what, you

probably need to cut all that cussing out. He know

who I am, but his his idea was that I

need to get out of his space when he was

in a public store when you should be You shouldn't

be disrespectful in there as well.

Right.

But the maravel to the story is the next day

I was in the I was in that same hardware

store getting some more stuff, picking up some locks. I

was already in there and he came in there, and

I was sitting in there talking to one of my

brothers in there. And he came in there and he

started talking. And don't you know, the whole time I

was in there, he ain't used one word of afanity

because see what I told him with the day before

was and see they got the wrong idea about God

the world does. And he said, well, I said, yea,

all that custom man, I said, I'm trying to help

you to get to heaven. He said, well, I'm all right,

he said, all I gotta do is ask God to

forgive me. He'll forgive me. I'll just keep asking to forgive.

You can't keep asking God to forgive you. I said, no,

you got to twist it, doc, I said, it's only

so many times.

Then God's tired of you.

And see what you don't understand is when you're talking

about forgiveness, that means you must be asked, you must

be repenting, and repentance means you turn from that and

don't come back no more. I said, I'm trying to

keep from going to hell. Then I walked away. That

stuck with him till the next time I saw him,

which was the next day. Look how God worked, I

ain't know he was coming there again.

But when he came in there that next time.

He wasn't doing all that custom not why I was

standing there and there about ten fifteen minutes. Now one

word and I recognized that God spoke and said listen.

And now he was standing right there, right beside me,

talking directly to me. Now because he would know that

he was disrespectful the other day. But I didn't go

off on him. I just told him what the words say,

and I walked off. But when he came back the

next day, he was standing, he still heeding, but he

had respect.

And that's the problem.

The respect for the church is not respected because the

church doesn't respect itself. Hey, man, that's why I say that,

because even the church disrespects the pastor, it disrespects the temple,

it disrespects the people. Even the church does that. See,

God says, the people of God are his temple. Amen.

And when you disrespect the temple, you disrespect God. And

even when we look in the Book of Matthews, rather

than in the twenty fifth chapter of the verse twenty

fifth chapter, verse forty one through forty six, it lets

us know that we are the temple of God. And whatever, see,

we can't get twisted to know that because I'm saved

and you saved. God ain't gonna give you no free bath.

You respect me because you save and I'm saved. Respect

Respect is respect for everybody, not just God's people and

God's people respecting the world. But they got to not

respecting each other, but the world as well. And we

must respect each other. Ain't man Because in Matthew, chapter

twenty five and verse forty one says he went away

the second time in pray, saying, oh, my father, let

me see where I want to start at. Yeah, he says,

watch and pray that ye inter not into temptation. I'm

eating the wrong thing verse twenty five. As verse twenty

six he said, then shall he say unto them on

the left hand depart from me? He cursed into everlasting

fire prepared for the devil and his angels. So God

says that the everlasting fire is prepared for the devil

and his angels.

Y'all saw that, right, And this is in rid. This

is Jesus speaking here.

So as I always say, Hell was made for you

and me, You see right here who Hell was made for.

Amen. And then he says, far I was a hungry

and he goes on and.

Saying he needed me, he was thirsty, he was a stranger,

he was in prison, he was in the hospital, and

you didn't.

Visit him and know it? Did you help him?

And then he says, and forty four, then shall they

all answer him, saying, Lord, when did we do all

of this?

Lord?

And forty five said Then he answered them, saying, verily,

I say unto you. And as much as he did

it not to one of the least of these, you

did it not to me.

And those shall go.

Away into everlasting punishment, but righteous into life eternal. So

what he's saying is, whatever you have done to the

least of our little children, you have done it under me.

This is why I keep saying you to live anymore

but God that live in you and the God that

live in you. If you living right before God and

in the example and exemplifying Jesus Christ in your life,

when people come against you, they don't come against you.

This reason why you can't be looking at people like

you got rocks in your mouth, and you always fired

up at them for what they may have said. What

they may have did, They ain't do it to you.

They did it to Jesus and he said, vengeance is

min It ain't your us. Chris, Why it's not your

us because you don't live.

He lives. You've died.

So when we that's why I keep saying, we got

to get church. We got to walk out to this

spirit that God commands us to walk out of it

and not walk out of our flesh.

Because when we walk out to our flesh.

You begin to believe that people coming against us, it

ain't coming against us, coming against g Esus in us. Now,

they're coming against you when you do something that to

them that you ain't got nobody's doing because Jesus do that.

When you wrongfully do something wrong with somebody that ain't God,

that's you. So rightfully, when they come, they are coming

against you. Are you with me? Do you understand what

I'm saying. We stay in the spirit and they come

against us, it ain't us, it's Jesus. I don't care

if they cuss you out. They ain't cuss you out.

They cussed out Jesus.

Amen. So that leads me to believe.

That the body and individual in the body in the day,

in this day and time, we need to be cleansed

because of the hatred in the church.

Look, look, look at the TV, y'all. Look at it.

Y'all tell me, y'all seen the news, you've seen, You've

probably seen pre just talking on TV.

How much of the world is against the church?

Really, the preachers are the ones on TV talking about

all the different preachers in different ministries in a negativity way.

You understand, it's the.

People that belong to the church talking about their own members.

Hey man, it's not the world. The world already fixated

the ones that have their own understanding, They already fixated

on the fact that they not like that. But when

they see you acting like them, you not like that,

you like them and they feel like you like them,

because if they feel comfortable being around you, that's a problem.

That's a problem, y'all. Don't might not believe that, but

that's a problem. It's not the problem to me, it's

a problem to God. He said, what fellowship? He said,

what fellowship? He said, what fellowship? He said, what fellowship has?

Light with darkness? You know what the fellowship is none?

That's what fellowship. Light and darkness have none. They don't

have a fellowship. Go in the dark room, turn on

the light. The darkness leaves. They don't want to be

bothered with the light. Turn the light out and the

darkness come back because they don't be bothered with the

light light, don't want to be bothered with darkness dark,

and don't be bother of light. They can't coexist. And

that's what God says about us. Yeah, Jesus was over

the sinner's house. Yeah, Jesus was amongst the sinners, but

for one purpose. He wasn't shooting dice with him. He

wasn't sitting there watching TV with him. He wasn't sitting

there gambling with him. He wasn't sitting there talking about

what's going on at the job with him. He was

sitting there telling him about his father. That's why he

didn't hang out out with him. He hung amongst them.

And that's what's wrong with the church. They think they

can keep hanging out with the old sociates and friends,

not realizing that bad communication corrupt good habits, and the

devil is so deceitfully wicked that you can't even see

you changed because you keep coming to church on Sunday

and you keep reading your Bible.

Hey, man, I had a conversation with.

An individual individual I pray to God or talk to

God all the time. And what does that mean when

you're a homosexual. What does that mean when you're homosexual?

Talking about you pray to God, you keep God, you

read your Bible, you do all this, but you're homosexual.

You are far from God your food. Look at the

homosexual churches. They're thinking that they're preaching the gospel of

Jesus Christ and God is fine with.

Them, but that so far from God.

God like they over that in God's like this.

This is the way God was when Jesus hung on

the cross costs of sin.

This is how he looking at them churches that them

folks in they're not churches of God. They can call

it what they want to, but it's not a church

of God. So that leads me to believe that there's

so much corruption in God's house there's necessary for a cleansing.

A cleansing is necessary.

Now right now, as ministries are going on on this

customary traditional day Sunday, there's a cleansing that needs to

be done in every church around. Well, look what he

said about the churches in Revelation. He found one church

that was right before God. It was only one church

that was halfway right, that God saw that was okay.

But the the churches jacked up the churches. The church

needs a cleansing. What's the cleansing. Their hearts need to

be cleansed. Their hearts are vile. Their hearts need to

be They need to be brought back to the newness

what God first gave it to them, to the first love.

Amen.

Because people can say what they want to say, but

your actions speak a whole lot louder than your words.

Whoever whatever this statement came from. As a powerful statement,

your actions speak a whole lot. You say you love

somebody but never show it to him, then what is

your your mouth?

Say you love what your action? Don't do that?

So what they gonna think you don't love them. You

say you like somebody, but you always treat them bad.

So they always asking you why you always treat me

like that? You said you like me, see't they ain't slow?

Why you have treating this way? You said you like me,

but you keep treating them bad.

See.

We don't have We don't have the ability, We don't

have the necessity or the right it's another word I'm

looking for. We don't have the comfort of not liking anyone.

As a child of God, we don't the question here

is your life really his? Because when you understand that

your life is really here, you don't have the affordability.

That's the word I'm looking for. Thank your holy ghirls.

You don't have the affordability not to even like somebody.

Because the Bible commands, it didn't ask, it commands. God

commands his children to love. You. Ain't never been like Jesus.

You've never been done like Jesus. Raise your hand. If

you hung on the cross, raise your hand. If they

put a thorn of thistles, of thorn of a crown

of thorns on your head, raise your hand, raise your hand.

If they whipped your back so that the meat was

coming off, raise your hand. If you've been nailed to

the cross. But Jesus said, forgive them, for they don't

know what they do. I said, love them. You have

been crucified like Jesus. You've been crucified, but not like Jesus.

You suffered, but not like Jesus. Jesus went through that

horrific suffering so that we could understand we still must

love some of us. Can't love a person that done

talked about us no more. We can't even we can't

even get with them no more. And we allow them

to control us. On top of all of that, because

soon as they come in room, they come to help. Yeah,

I heard, I remember what she said about me? Mm hm,

Why you remember it? Okay, remember what she said about

because God gave you a memory. But when you're gonna

let it go, when you're gonna let it go and

show the love of God, when you're gonna let it go,

and and and understand that your life is supposed to

be his, It's not your life no more because you

freely gave it up. So many have freely given it

up and then took it back, gave it up and

took it back. Actions speak louder than words. We're too quick.

Our life is supposed to be his, but we're too

quick to judge folks without the whole understanding, too quick

to jump to judgment without the whole understanding. I see

so much stuff concerning the Bible out there. When I'm

working and out in society. I'm in home depot and

the Mexican guy comes up with this wood.

He's fins Bae. The lady that was checking.

Me out, was checking me out, and then it was

a guy checking him out on the other side, and

he was trying to tell the guy he supposed to

get seventy percent off of this wood because and the

new cash she didn't know how to handle it. So

the lady was checking me out just walked over there

and started telling him. He said, oh no, he's doing

that on it. She said, if you would just listen,

he was too quick to judge. He had it in

his mind he gonna get the same sent out. Nobody

wouldn't nooy, no matter what nobody said, and she wasn't

gonna mess it up.

He said, you can even I ain't got to do

all this, sir.

She said. She wasn't even talking to him first of all,

but he was he when she walked over. His judgment

was she trying to stop me from getting this at

this price. But when she was really trying to do

was tell the new cashier how it's supposed to be done.

So he made a shame of himself.

And then after all that was over with, I leaned

into him and said, sir, if you would have just

been listening, you wouldn't have made a sham out of yourself.

She was not trying to keep you from getting it.

She was trying to tell him how to give it

to you. And then his wife that was with him said,

you know, the wives know when we be talking too much.

Mm hmm, So when we're his we have to step

back and look.

Then, like I was talking to my sister yesterday and

she started talking about somebody, and I said, hold on,

when last time you seen them? I said, been long times?

You've seen them heaven? She said yeah. I said, how

you know they ain't changed? She said, oh, I said, yeah,

you don't know if they might not be that low

damn person. No more, you can't say that they like that.

You ain't seen that person in a long long time.

And you claiming to be God's child. Yeah, you right, brother,

you're right. I said, Okay, don't be judging them. You

don't know what they're doing now. You ain't seen that

person in years. They gave they like the Christ and

shouting loud anybody else in the church because of deliverance.

You don't know.

You have to understand the whole matter of the thing

before you can make a judgment. But the so many

of us so quick to judge without the whole understanding,

and then won't take the consequences. I'm going to own

up to the consequences of our own actions, but rather

we have that spirit of Adam. Look what the woman

done did Lord, the woman. He blamed the woman, and God,

it was the woman you gave to me. Won't take

responsib ability for his own his own actions, but rather

blame someone else. That's why we need a cleansing. Our

hearts are messed up. We're supposed to have the heart

out of God.

Amen.

That's why he said, let this mind be in you.

You that was also in Christ, Jesus. Let this mind.

The mind is your heart. Hey, man, the mind is

your heart. So that's why he said, let this mind

be in you. That was also in Christ, Jesus. That's

the heart of Christ. The mind of Christ was his heart.

This thing only pumps blood when people say, my heart

ain't right with you, man, this thing you got your

hand on the wrong. You gotta get it up here.

You ain't need to go up here, are you with me?

I'm just being a realness. Okay, this is your heart

and this heart of the Christian world needs a cleansing

in this day and time.

Because our hearts have gone dim.

Some of them the light has gone out because they

have left God. Any time you turn to the world

when you've been in mist industry for twenty and thirty years,

you have.

Left God and your heart has gone black.

But we, meaning Christians, would often believe it's the center

that needs to cleansing. We believe that the center is

the one who needs a cleansing and a revived heart.

Huh am I saying something they sent us. We believe

they need a cleansing. We believe they.

Need a revived heart.

But guess what. In reality, you can't revive something that's

never lived before. So it ain't the center that needs

a revived heart. You cannot revive the center because the

word revived simply means means to.

Bring back to life.

And you can't bring something back to life if it

never lived. You can't re energize anything which once lived.

It has to have been to live before to energize

it again. Amen, we're supposed to be evangelistic. We're supposed

to have an evangelistic message. Amen, don't get twisted. Because

you have an evangelistic message doesn't make you an evangelist.

It's just that we all supposed to have an evangelistic message.

What is an evangelistic message, a message that we minister

to the loss of this world? Every one of us

in this house today and in the House of God

today who are truly saved. Amen. Let me add that

in there, you're supposed to have an evangelistic message for

the lost people of this world.

Amen. That this is is the work.

It's for us to be trying to lead sinners into

being saved. And this is not something we do on occasion.

This is something we do every time there's opportunity.

Amen.

God always leads us where to go. It's just a

matter if we will go.

Amen. Even here in this story in the Book.

Of Acts, the second chapter after the Day of Pentecost,

when the one hundred and twenty in the upper Room

received the gift of the Holy Ghost, after they receive

the gift of the Holy Ghost. If y'all have received

the gift of the Holy Ghost, this hat operates after

you receive it.

Amen.

This is how you should operate after you receive the gift.

Of the Holy Ghost.

This is what you should have in your heart to

want to do after you receive the gift of the

Holy Ghost.

Amen. This is what they did.

They went out every day into the temple and from

house to house, and the record shows that as they

went out and evangelized, Jesus Christ added to the church

every day such as to be saved. He added to

the church such as to be saved. And as it was,

so it is now. But we're not evangelizing. We're too

busy coming up in here in his house, getting with

God give us and hoarding it up, not telling anybody.

And some of us just here in the House of

God around the world today just because it's Sunday, y'all

know that whole ministry right there, just because it's Sunday, tradition, custom,

robotic people coming into the temple.

No, Jesus Christ is just Sunday. That's where I'm supposed

to be.

And before they come, most of them are making sure

that the way they dress, somebody gonna say I look

good today.

It's not about Jesus.

But we're supposed to have an evangelistic message for the world,

not want the praises of people because of the way

we look. You want to be praised, be praised because

what you've done for Jesus be praised because somebody know

you love the Lord. That's a praise. You understand what

I'm saying. It's okay to praise somebody when they do good,

but to be self absorbed for praise is not in

the right criteria with Christ. Hey man, I see people

all the time. You know, they know they look good.

They what you think about this outfit? Nothing? Nothing, deecon

because I came here to hear a word. I came

here to hear a song because the reason why I

come to hear a song because the song has words.

Amen.

And when you listen to more than the beat and

the temple, then you can get what the message is

in the song.

Amen.

And you can also understand that some folks are singing

the wrong song and some folks singing a lie. Amen.

When you listen to the word, and you can listen

to the word when your life is his, because it's

really not your ears, but His ears opening for you

to hear. M. I know I'm kind of I'm just

kind of casual this morning, Amen, But casual is what

we need. I've been saying this for a long time,

and it looks like it's actually catching on. I've been

watching some preachers nowadays, and they're not into the hoop

thing much more. They're actually teaching. Have y'all been seeing it?

They're actually teaching it a lot. I'm still hooping now,

but some of the ones I've been watching a teaching

now and they still a preach still comes out of

them that way. But that's okay as long as they're not.

The whole thing is not entertainment, as long as none

of us entertainment. Let me correct myself, because entertainment is

what got the church in the rem that is in

now because people I've heard people over the years say, yeah,

he h that was a good message, but he ain't

really preach today. That's because they're saying he didn't entertain

them today. It's what they really want to say, that's

really what they're saying.

So when you go to a basketball game.

And somebody dunk, so somebody there's a behind the back

pass or anything, that's entertainment. That's what they have to do.

And they have to entertain you. When you go to

the movies. The movies are supposed to entertain you.

Amen.

When you go to a baseball game, when you go

to a if you go to a concert, y'all, you

go to a gospel can, that's what's they're they're there,

Those gospel.

Singers are there to entertain you. Amen.

But those gospel singers when they come up in here,

they're not supposed to be entertaining you. Y'all see the difference.

When they have a concert, they're entertaining you, But when

they come up in God's house, they're not supposed to be.

Some of them still trying to entertain you. They're not

supposed to be entertaining you. See, when your life is his,

you know where the switch is, aymen, you know the switch?

For some know what the switch is because see, it's

our job to witness to the sinner every day. Every

day we're in that presence that God allows. Some people

don't want to hear you. They might be the one

God sent you to and they may not be. But

you will soon find out as you begin to witness

a man. We're afraid to witness the people. The people

of God are afraid to witness the people. So that

suggests to me that their life is not his, because

that's the only reason Jesus came here. Do we know

any other reason that Jesus came to earth. He came

to witness to folks that they may be saved, but

without witnessing how they're gonna be saved. He came to

witness to them. And if our life is his, that's

what we're supposed to be doing. But we don't have

a problem talking to people that we believe is saved.

We don't have a problem saying Jesus the people that

we believe is saved. Many ministers in the church, people

ask why don't the preacher let you get up and preach,

because the message that he preached you spost to take

it out there and preach it. He ain't stopping you

from preaching. You post preach out that. Now he may

let you use your gift in here at one point,

But when you really think about it in your mind,

what is one of the ministers gonna preach to you

all that you haven't heard? Although you can have another

preacher come in, are one of the ministers on the

board preach a message and you will get it because

you're so used to listening to your pastor when they

say it, then you heard it. Nothing wrong with that,

It just happens that way. That's the way God would

have it to be a time. I've heard messages and

messages from my pastor and heard somebody else preach it.

But the first thing that came to my mind, that's

what he preached. That's what he said. Heymen, these folks

won souls daily after they received the Holy Ghost.

Let me say that again.

These folks won souls daily after they receive the Holy ghost.

So you have to ask yourself, how many souls have

you one after you receive the Holy ghost? Let me

say it like this, how many souls have you tried

to win after you want after you receive the Holy ghost?

Because they went out daily to win souls for the Lord.

So let's take this for example. Everybody look around. If

you ain't, if your head don't turn, you ain't looking around.

Everybody look around. So it's a few people in here.

And if every one of us would win just one soul,

not a day, a week, a month, if we just

win one soul a year, we'd have to build a

bigger sanctuary. I said, a year, one sol one, So

a year, just one from each one of us, we

wouldn't have we wouldn't have room in this place. Amen,

Just one soul a year, we wouldn't have enough room

in this house. They won souls every day, the Bible says,

I just say it one so a year. But even

when they were even when they was winning souls, they

begin to be persecuted. See this was wrong with the

saints today. They can't stand no pain. They can't stand

a broken finger, nail, They can't stand no kind of pain.

Down and hear what I'm saying. But even though they

were winning souls, guess what happened. Persecution came upon them.

And that's why I say, these saints today can't even

se they had no pain, no suffering, because it suffers

you to have to witness to somebody and not know

the outcome. But if you believe in your heart and

believe in your heart that the individual that God sent

you to you were prepared. They were prepared for you

to come. I told you about the God. When I

was in the penitentiary. He stood there and I came around.

I told God, of if he's still there, come back.

God already had him prepared for me. I didn't know

it until I opened up my mouth and did what

God told me to do. That's when I knew God

spoke to me in the temple. I told y'all that

story told me to get up and do something. I

didn't do it, But when I got up and did it,

a man got saved. For the fear of witnessing, We

too concerned about what people are going to say to

us and about us. But when you give your life

to Christ, it ain't to you and about you. It's

about Jesus. It's not about you, It's about Jesus. So

whatever they say to you and about you, then im

talking to you and talking to Jesus. It's the spirit

of them talking to the spirit in you. That's why

we got to walk out.

To the spirit. We'll understand. It's all spiritual. Amen.

Persecution didn't stop them, even though they had to scatter,

And when they scattered, still kept talking. They went everywhere.

They didn't do nothing but scatter them into the new

place to go to tell somebody else about the gospel.

So that bad became a good thing. All things work

together for the good of them that love the Lord.

That bad became a good thing. Amen. And they continue

to go on preaching the gospel with the expectations that

the saints would continue in Jesus Christ and continue building

the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and continue in putting in

bodies inside of the House of God.

Amen.

And then there were those that still stayed there when

the others were scattered around, and they too continue to

preach Amen.

And they had to have a time of revival.

And that time came in the book of Acts in

chapter four, and after the Holy Ghost had failed upon

them the day of the Pentecost in chapter two, and after.

The healing of the lamb of the lame Man.

In chapter three, and the persecution broke out following in

chapter four of Acts.

Amen.

And when they had brought Peter.

And John.

In and they whipped them, Why did they whip them

because they were preaching the gospel. Y'all, y'all can't do it.

Y'all can't even do it this kind of stuff because

you don't want to. You don't want this county. And

they still getting whooped today. Now, don't think that's over it.

Folks still getting killed claiming the name of Jesus in

this day in time. Folks still getting whooped literally and

physically because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But it's

so many that can't stand depression. Don't want depression. But

they whooped Peter and John. And after they whooped them,

they chained them and charged them not to preach anymore

in the name of Jesus Christ. What would you do?

You be whooped, chained, fat at then they release you.

What you're gonna do? Go lay down? I continue to

preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. See, at this time

of John and Peter, the ministries were at a low

in this particular time, at that dispensation. And it's not

different now than it was then, because even now the

church is at a low. The churches at a low

every time you turn it on. Where was I was

somewhere the other day last night coming home and somebody,

the guy that was driving, said, that's that church where

that guy, that preacher was molesting them people molesting them boys.

The church is at a Loa.

That's that church right there where.

They was stealing all that money out of there.

Church at Alae, that's that church right there with that

man was preaching and he was talking about that Jesus

was wrong. Church at Alae churches at a load today.

That church right there, don't nobody go there but homosexual

That church right there, and man got a lot of homosexuals.

He can't control them. I remember when this pastor came

to our pastor and said, I need help. The homosexuals

are taken over. He needed help that the homosexuals was

taken over. Who did you need to help from? I thought,

Jesus was our help. You came to my pastor for help.

You're supposed to go to God, preach the word. The

word gonna help you. The churches at a law when

the pastor don't know where to turn, the churches at

a law. This ain't favorable, but it is what it is.

The church today is at a load. But they went

back to the prayer meeting in chapter four at verse

twenty nine. And when they got through praying and said,

now Lord, behold their threatenings, and great unto thy servants,

and grant unto thy servants that with all boldness they

may speak Thy word. Because they was threatening them. You

don't speak in the name of Jesus no more. And

he said, now Lord, behold their threatnings. You see what

they're doing to us. You see what they're trying to

do to us. You heard what they said. But guess

what he wanted to do keep on teaching and preaching

the gospel, because he said, grant unto thy servant, that

with all boldness.

They may speak Thy word.

And the Bible said when they had prayed, the place

was shaken where they were, and they were all filled

with the Holy ghost, and they just got baptized and

filled two chapters of good earlier. But somehow their holy

goals came low and the level of it dropped, and

they prayed again, and the place was shaken, and they

were filled with the holy ghosts and spoke the word

with boldness as they prayed unto God to do. They

spoke the word with boldness. After they were filled. They

spoke the word with boldnes. Y'all, don't hear what I'm saying.

After they were filled. They spoke the word. After they

were filled. They spoke the word with boldness, and they

were filled after God shook the place, and God shook

the place after they prayed, and in that order. So

the act a revived vote is the act of God

reuniting or reuniting or energizing the individual amen putting the

fire back in him.

So God was putting the fire back in the.

Church because they prayed for the boldness of God to

speak his words. When they prayed, how shook when and

how shook they were feel when they were feeled?

He spoke boldly, Hey man, you know why, because the

holy ghosts don't fear nobody.

Let me say that again, the holy ghosts don't fear nobody.

And if you got the Holy ghost, why do you

fear anybody? Because the holy ghosts don't fear nobody. The

church is you and me, by the way, So we

are in a time of revival because we need our

hearts cleansed. We're in a time of revival. The church

is in a time of revival because our hearts need

to be cleansed. We're continually every Sunday coming to the

House of God, some Sunday, some Sunday, and Wednesday and Thursday,

some Tuesday.

But yet no cleansing. Folks.

Right now today in ministry, gonna have about three services today,

but there'll be no cleansing for the multitude.

Why are we here? Why are we even here?

If we can't get eno jazzed, if we can't be revived.

You you ever try to charge up a battery. They

got two dead sales in it. Let me take that back.

You ever try to charge up a battery, they got

one dead sale in it. Does anybody know what happens

when you try to charge a battery with one dead sale.

It only takes a charge until you put it back

in that car and start it up.

It's dead again. It's dead. It's dead.

You need a new battery.

You need a new battery.

Church. You know why because in this dismissation of time,

all the stuff that's going forth in the House of God,

it's called too much junk, too much junk, and the

junk is killing out the hearts of God's people. And

the one behind the podium is with the junk killing

the people. And the people are being killed because the

people won't know God for themselves, and they're allowing all

the junk in them. I used to tell people this,

it's your ear of garbage.

Can so quit letting people throw.

Trash in your ear, killing us out with all of

the junk, and not enough word cleansing us and reviving

our hearts, our reflection. In this day and time of

our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has gotten very dim

and very blaring.

People looking at.

Us like this, Oh, see it's blary like that.

The reflection of Jesus Christ from the people of God

today is dim and bleary.

And we have been.

Attacking each other. So I'm saying earlier we've been attacking

each other. But when I read in the Book of John,

Chapter one, verse eighteen, it says no man has seen

God at any time, but the only forgotten Son, which

is in the bosom of the Father, he had declared him.

So what we know through Jesus Christ is that God

is not a god of vengeance.

He's a God of love. M hm. He takes vengeance,

but he is a god of vengeance.

He says, vengeance is mine when it's necessary, but he's

a God of love. See, we can mess up and

still love. We can mess up in God and still

love us. Ay man, God will love us all the

way to Hell. He will, and when we get there,

he'll still love us. Because God is love, he can't

change it. We can know to do good and and

do evil, but he'll still love us.

Don't get me wrong doing evil to day just because

he loves you.

The day of judgments coming, but thank God, we're all

still under.

A day of grace. David said, have mercy up on me.

Oh Lord, according to thy loving kindness, according unto thy

multitude of that tender mercy, and blot out my transgressions.

Don't y'all lose your focus. Listen to me. I'm almost done. See,

we can make mistakes and bad choices. There's a difference.

Mistakes and choices.

Are not saying. I want you understand that.

But we can make mistakes and bad choices, and we

can make them. Say we're writing, and we can make

a mistake on a piece of paper, and we'll take

that pen sometimes with scratch a line through it, and

everybody who looks at that paper can see where we

made a mistake.

Hey man, they can see where you're messed up.

But God in his office, See he got a business office.

In God's business office, he has what we call that

new stuff white out.

You hear what I'm saying. God got some.

White out, And when he gets through wiping it out

your mistakes and your bad choices, you can pass by

and not even see the mistake of the bad choice

somebody made because God wipe it out. David said, Lord,

I know he knew, like we know I messed up,

But God white it out, so that when people look

at it, they really won't know how bad I messed up.

So you ought to tell God when you make the

wrong choice, Are you make a mistake?

Be like David. Lord, white it out, wite it out.

Lord. Let's look at David. He says in first two,

Wash me faoroughly. I don't want you to miss nothing.

Wash me faoroughly. Get under here, get under here, get

behind here, get behind my ear, get all get in all.

The cracks, he said, wash me thaoroughly from my iniquities.

And cleanse me from my sin. But he said, wash

me before you wash me. The instructions God, I to

do it faoroughly. Don't forget under my fingernails, don't forget

in my ear, look up in my nose, wash me

between my toes faoroughly. Why because I acknowledge my transgressions

and my sin is ever before me. I messed up.

So I need a cleansing.

I need my heart revived. I need a cleansing in

my heart.

Lord, we out of know, just like David, A lot

of folks aren't into self reinformation. You can't really clean

your own self up. Most folks into self reformation. They

think they can clean their own self. You can't clean

your own self up. You can't clean up your own act.

That's why you keep going back to it, because you trying.

To clean it up.

Jesus said, when an unclean spirit goes out of a man,

he walks through a dry place seeking rest. But when

he comes back and finds that house swept and garnished,

swept is equal to dry cleaned. Garners means decorated. And

a lot of folks are trying to clean up their

own act, and then after they clean it up, they

decorated with a new dress, a hat, glasses, the makeup,

high heels, a nice tray suit with a brim on,

and some gators they try. After they do that, they

try to clean it up and then they try to

decorate it. Hey, man, their own self. But if you

really want to be clean, you're gonna have to tell God.

You're gonna have to do.

Like David say, Lord, I don't have the ability to

get it right myself, wash me thoroughly.

I know. At first, when you save me, you wash

me in your blood. But the thing that I know

is that the blood of Jesus cleanse it, which means

it keeps on cleaning.

God.

I messed up and got back in a mess, and

it was you that washed me the first time, because

I couldn't get it right by myself. But wash me, Lord,

wash me again thoroughly, and clean me from my sin,

for I acknowledge my transgressions. This is how you get

clean in the first place. You first got to acknowledge

your transgression.

In order to.

Even get clean the first time. In the first place,

you need to stop trying to acknowledge everybody else's transgressions

and acknowledge your own and look at your own. For

God has already given commandment that before you can mess

with your neighbors, you already have to You already.

Have offended God. And God was simply saying.

Your Riah got caught up in David's mess, and he

told David, I told you in the first place, don't

commit adultery. He told us in the first place. Don't

be lying, he told us in the first place. Don't

be deceitful, don't be stealing, don't be hating, don't be backbiting,

he told us in the first place. Like he told David,

I told you, don't commit adultry. And if it had

no been having been on the Ariah. The fact is

you have sinned against me. And David said, Lord the Lord,

only have I sin and done this evil in thy sight. See,

when you do evil, when you do wrong, you're doing

it all in the sight of God. So if you

think you somewhere would nobody seeing you up in the closet,

you still doing it in.

The sight of God.

Because the eyes of the Lord in every place beholding

the good and the evil. The eyes of the Lord

in every place beholding the good and the evil.

So wherever you do, wherever you at, it ain't no

people around.

And it's even even hard nowadays to do evil with

all the cameras on the streets and highways and all

the phones that people got with cameras on them.

If that don't catch you, God still see you.

And then in verse five, it looks like he was

trying to do like we do something times. Now, Lord,

you gotta understand, heard somebody say this the other day.

That's a pastor Now I'm only human. David said, behold,

I would shape the iniquity, and in seeing that, my

mother conceived me.

But when he thought about it, he realized that.

Even though human beings come into the sinful world.

A victim of the flesh.

That if you let God work on your heart, you're

come in this world a victim of the flesh. But

if you would just let God work on your heart,

he said, behold, die, there is truth in the inward parts,

so don't worry about outside action. If you get the

right thing in your heart. If truth is in your heart,

you don't have to act a lie.

If truth is in.

Your heart, you don't need no instructions telling you what

to do and how to do it.

If you really got truth in your heart.

The love of God is shed abroad about the Holy Ghost,

and the power of God on the inside will help

us to know how to act. It will help us

on what to say. It will help us on where

to go. You don't need a guess. It will help us.

That's why he's called a helper. David said, behold, the

dearest truth is in is in the end way parts,

and then the hidden part that shall make me to

know wisdom.

In verse six, he says, Then he said, purge me.

With hits up. Hits up has a purpose.

That's why David said, purge me with hiss up.

Whenever you read the Bible is I always tell you

they don't just say stuff in here just to be saying.

It has purpose, it has meaning, and you shouldn't just

repast that. You should try to find out what do

you mean by hiss up? What do you mean by this?

And what do you mean by that? This is how

you grow in the Lord, how you gonna grow up.

You don't know what he's talking about. People read that

and say HiT's up and just keep on going. But

hits up had a purpose. Hits up was a plant.

As we was talking about this morning about how plants

are favorable for us that God gave us.

Hits up was a plant that.

God told Moses to use when he wiped the blood

to the upper posts and the side posts of the doors.

He said, don't use a paintbrush, but dip it in

his sop. See. That plan came to be known as

a symbol of inner cleansing. That's why David said, purge

me inner part. The plant became a plant of inner cleansing.

So David said, purge me, purged me. He's got to

go inside and get it out.

He said, purged me with his wash me down.

On the inside, and he said, Lord, beuse, I don't

want none of that that that soap that the devil's using,

that that causes people to be deceitful, deceit and believe

in they're all right with you.

I don't want none of that soap. I won't hiss up.

Because that soap just gets off some surface dirt. I

don't want the surface dirt. I want to end of

dirt gone because the surface soap only cleans the surface

but still leaves the germs. I want the hiss up,

the inner cleansing, because that other soap just leaves germs

still attached to you. I don't want nothing attached to me,

because if I clean the inside out, the inside gonna

come on the outside. He said, Lord, I want you

to purise me with hissup, And God wants you to

know that he has the hiss up. This is the hissop.

The Word of God is your hissp that gets down

on the inside and cleanse the enner's part of you.

The Word of God is your hiss up. Amen.

It gets down in you and it searches for that

those hidden areas that's stuck in your mind where you

can't stand suster so and so that's that thing stuck

down on the deep on the ends where you're still

lusting for just a little kooler to drink. You know,

that hiss up gets down there and cleanses you when

you're urging and lusting for just what boopuff, just one.

It's just down there, cleanse out the lust of that

man that you know how he used to do it,

she used to give it to you. It cleanses all

of that out of you.

Got out here. What I'm saying.

Gets down on the inside when you get fearful. It

cleans out the lie and calls you to tell truth

during your suffering. See that it don't You don't want none.

That's soap that just does the surface cleaning, because they

gonna leave some stuff attached to you. And when you

open up your mouth, you gonna dress up of the lie.

But the hits up won't even let you dress it up.

It's perish me lord.

With the hiss up.

God wants you to know that the hiss up is

his word. And when it gets down inside of you,

it's gonna get that hidden stuff holding you against your wheel,

holding on the stuff that you had against somebody ten

years ago. You ain't seen them in ten years, and

then when you see them again, you groll in your

eyes at them. See it gets that you see you

didn't know, You didn't know that it was still there.

But the his hiss up can get in there and

see it and clean it out of you.

It can clean that stuff right out of your heart.

Because see some of that stuff found a corner somewhere

in your heart, and it looks like you just can't

get it out. You know, you be cleaning them corners,

sweeping that broom, just can't get it all out of there.

You gotta get something to get that corner clean, because

stuff hides in the corners, be right in the cracks,

thank you deep.

So. But you gotta see the hiss up get all

in the cracks.

It gets all in the corners of your heart where

it looked like you just can't get it out. But

the hits hoper get in there. Because I heard David say,

purge me with hisser.

You ought to tell the Lord, purge me with your hisser.

This is his hiss his word.

Purge me with your hiss up, Lord, and I shall

be clean all the word gonna clean you. Ain't no

doubt about it. You ain't got to worry about going

the second round. It's gonna cleanse you. That he said,

wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. And

then in verse ten, he said, creating me after you

an't got cleansed up, got it all out the corners,

now creating me a new heart, a clean heart.

And guess what.

Not only that once Youton did that, then renewing me

a right spirit. See, after you didn't clean me all up,

gave me a new heart, then renewing me a right spirit.

Some people can say what they want to say. Some

folks just sit up in church. Your heart gets full

of mess right here in the House of God. Sitting

up in church, jumping and singing and dancing, and still

gott mess in your heart.

I see it all the time. I tell you about

it all the time.

Some people don't make it past the double doors and

something make it to make it out of the entry

and the exit door that you come in in the

morning before you can see that junk still in their heart.

And the preaching I'm preached for an hour, it's in

the corner.

They need some hiss.

Up even after they dancing and they gant jumping and

they shouting, they still got that mess in their heart.

But I hear David say this whole heart won't do.

Give me a clean heart because I know I got

the wrong spirit, and renew the right spirit in me. Lord,

I know the way I've been acting. Can you say

that to God? You could have taken your spirit from me,

But Lord, don't do it.

Forgive me and try me one more time.

Don't take your holy spirit from me, but restore unto

me the joy of thy salvation. I set around with

so much junk building up in my heart that I

have to try to fake it. But I want the

joy that I used to have. I want the anointing

that I used to have. Give me a new heart,

give me a new spirit, revive me. Set me on fire.

See see that anointing will burn up all in that

stuff in you. And when it burned it up, the

word of God had come in and clean it up.

You don't hear what I'm saying.

He said, set me on follord, take me back, take

me back, take me back where I used to be.

Clean me up. See he's coming to God. That's why

David was a man after God's own heart. God felt

that that proud David was felt by God because he

really meant it.

He had no intentions in going back the other way.

His heart was going forward and forward only in that circumstances,

in them situations that he had put his He put

hisself in a man somebody he put hisself in, not

somebody else, because he had a choice to make, and

he made the wrong choice. But his heart couldn't take

it because he knew that he offended his God. So

he said, clean me up, wash me, revive me, revive

my dead heart. I thought I was alive in you.

Don't let me be lost, Lord, because I want to

see you in right standings.

Amen.

And here you say, well done, good and faithful servant. Amen,

give God a hand clap of praise. Is your life

really his? You see, David's life was really God's because

he had a heart after God. And that's why God

said he was a man after his own heart. Because

David had a repentive heart. Church, you have to have

a repentive heart. We gonna mess up sometimes. That's a guarantee.

Because we live in a human body, we live in

a fallible body, which is not totally perfect. Amen, But

were to be striving for perfection, and that perfection is

going to perfect the spirit man in us, which helps

our soul to prosper even as we prosper.

Amen. This flesh is a reason why it's going back

to the dust.

It's tainted. It got tainted in the garden. That's why

the Lord says it's gonna go back to the dust.

But he gonna give you a new body, a body

that won't be tainted. He gonna give you a god

holy body. And you won't have to worry no more

about having a cold. You won't have to worry about

no more pains in your shoulders and your knees. You

don't have to worry about no more pain in your head,

in your back, you don't have to worry about ringing

in the ear.

It gonna be a new body, a holy body. Amen.

We're standing at this time, Amen, in the name of Jesus,

renew a right spirit.

In each and every one of us.

God, if we have those hidden things, let your hiss

up cleanse it. But we're asking for a pharaoh cleansing.

We too want to hear well done. We too want

the right spirit in us at all times during our

trials and tribulations. Encourage us, Holy Spirit, anoint us to

stand fast in our trials and tribulations and not allow

it to cause us to come out of the character

of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. But if we share,

forgive us and renew the right spirit in us in

the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.

In the name of Jesus, in the name of.

Jesus, help us Lord in these last and evil times.

You see what's going on, because it's you that allowed it.

You saw it in the days of creation. But you

promised to take care of us, and Lord, we thank you.

Let us be encouraged. God, help us Holy Spirit to

be encouraged through these times that are going on today.

Let fear not inny end and cause us to try

to do it our way. Let us continue on this path.

Help us to continue on this path, Lord of Salvation,

Father God, in the name of Jesus, every one of us. Lord,

help us in this house. It's personal. So I'm asking

you right now, Lord, every harvest time member, help us

to stay.

Right in Thy sight.

Lead us in the path of righteousness for our namesake,

no matter what the trial, no matter what the tribulation,

no matter what the suffering. Help us to keep our

minds on you, God, to be focused. And yet you

rebuke the enemy it all costs. In the name of Jesus.

And continue to hide us in your bosom. Lord, continue

to cover us with your divine protection. Continue to walk

with us because we know you said you'll never leave us,

not forsake us. And if there's anyone in here God

that's in any kind of pain, pain in they body,

pain in their finances, pain in their mind, pain in

they thought process, pain in their family life, hell.

In the name of Jesus.

We come to you God because you the only one

can do it, and can't nobody do.

It like you.

We're crying out to you because you are help.

You are help.

We look to the heels. What cometh our health from

up above? And you clad to us and promise us

all good things come from up above. So Lord look

upon us right now, Father God, in the name of Jesus,

and continue to cleanse us with the hissop of your words.

And there are those in our families that are not saved.

Help us to give a word of encouragement to them

to turn them around in the name of Jesus.

We're concerned about them. Lord.

We know you love him, so we love em. Turn

em around. God, turn'em around. Give 'em something real. And

if we have family that's in different ministries, Father, God,

give them the truth of your word. Move onum Holy

Spirit to get into the Word of God for themselves

that they may know the truth.

And the truth will make them free.

And it's in Jesus name I pray, Thank God, Amen

and Amen.
