-
Well, alright in there. You don't have to hear from
-
me to give God praise and give him the glory.
-
You worthy of the praise and the glory. It looks
-
like one of those rainy day Sundays, heymen, where folks
-
are r too relaxed. A man, somebody, I know that
-
he who Okay, we are to be excited to be here,
-
but I always say that the excitement of what we
-
do outside of here seems to supersede the house of God.
-
I don't understand it, but it is what it is
-
for some of us. Ay Man, I guess when we
-
get in that real truth, we'll get that real, that
-
real praise for God. You know they're in worship. Most
-
folks know how long worship service takes, how long worship
-
service was, but do they know during that time how
-
much time they actually took to worship. They may know
-
how long it was, but how much worship did you
-
do in that time. It's just like we forget to
-
give him praise and glory when the Bible tells us
-
when we come into his house to enter in his gate.
-
Antybody gonna finish it for me? One of those rainy
-
day Sundays. Amen, where folks are so relaxed, they so
-
comfortable a man, but I want you to wake up
-
in here. I come to enlighten you on some things
-
that God has enlightened me on. Amen. So let us
-
go to the Book of Saint John h. Chapter fifteen.
-
And while you're getting that, we'll go to the Throne
-
of Grace with me. This morning, I left my glasses
-
at home, so if I mispronounce, I skip over word,
-
I'm sure Sister Lisa gonna help me out. Amen. Amen.
-
I'm not in this on my own, am I? All right? Then?
-
You know some folks say it's the pastor's church. No
-
it ain't. It's God's Church, and it's the people's house. Yeah, amen,
-
somebody amen. So let us go to the Throne of Grace.
-
Father God. We come right now in the name of Jesus, Lord.
-
We want to thank you for yet another day. God.
-
We're so glad to be here God that we're just
-
bubbling over. Not only did you wake us up, God,
-
but you got us up, and you got us up
-
in all right mind, God, a mind to come this
-
day to give you the service, give you the glory
-
and the praise. In the name of Jesus Christ, our
-
Lord and Savior. Thank you for salvation. God, thank you
-
so much for life. In the name of Jesus Christ,
-
by the blood of the Lamb. We thank you. We
-
thank you Jesus that you went to the cross, that
-
you kept the faith and the commandments of the Father
-
for our sake. We want to say thank you, Thank
-
you for blessing our trip here this morning. Thank you God.
-
In the name of Jesus I've asked that you look
-
over those who are out of town and keep them safe.
-
Keep him under your covering God a protection. And look
-
upon brother James's family who has lost his brother, and
-
give comfort to the family. Lord, give comfort and lessen
-
Lord to know that we're not going to always be here,
-
so we need to cleave to you. Lord, learn of you,
-
get into you as you get into us, because we too,
-
one day will leave this place and enter end to
-
another place. And I pray God, it's your house. In
-
the name of Jesus, save and deliver God. Today in
-
the name of Jesus Christ, look up over the people
-
that are listening on the airways. Those in this house today,
-
keep them stadfast in you Father, in the name of Jesus,
-
help them Holy Spirit to be aware and conscience and
-
mindful always of the Father and the way that He
-
would have us to walk in the wisdom and understanding
-
and knowledge of Him. In the name of Jesus Christ,
-
our Lord and Savior. Now, Lord, as this word goes forth,
-
use me like never before, always, like never before, a
-
new experience, a new day with new grace and new mercy.
-
Use me, Lord, that the people may hear a word
-
from you, not of myself, but of you God. Because
-
our decreases, you increase. And let your word go forth
-
and those that are listening, that you may save the
-
sinner and bring back the backslider, and continue the strength
-
and those that are holding on in this last and
-
dispensation of this evil time, that we in look over
-
this government God that has gone totally wicked. Turn the
-
heads of those that are leading God in the ways
-
of righteousness. But God, my prayer is always have your way,
-
and let your will be done. In the name of Jesus,
-
rebuke the devil and filled this house and these temples
-
in this house with your holy Spirit, that we understand
-
and get knowledge and wisdom of your words. And Jesus name,
-
I pray, thank God, Amen and Amen. In the Book
-
of Saint John, chapter fifteen and verse twenty six, the
-
Bible says, this is the key verse of this chapter.
-
But when the comfort, n the helper, the protector, the
-
leader is come, whom I will send unto you from
-
the Father, even the spirit of truth. Somebody say, truth
-
which proceeded from the Father. The spirit of truth comes
-
from the Father. The spirit of a lie. I need
-
not go no further, which proceeded from the Father. He
-
shall testify of me, who the spirit of truth shall
-
testify of the Father. Now let us jump down and
-
jump over to chapter sixteen and verse eight, and it
-
says at the end of twenty six or fifteen he
-
shall testify of me. And then eight says in sixteen
-
and when he is come, he will reprove convict the
-
world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment of sin.
-
There's three things here. He's getting ready to tell you
-
what of sin because they believe not on me, of
-
a righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye
-
see me no more. Of judgment, because the prince of
-
this world is judged. Are the ruler of this world? Amen?
-
You may be seated in the House of the Lord,
-
We're gonna get a little bit deeper into this truth. Amen.
-
Today we're gonna talk about conformity, or rather, truth requires conformity.
-
Truth requires conformity. What is conformity? Conformity is the condition
-
our fact of being being in harmony, our agreement. Amen.
-
Conformity is the conditioner our fact of being in harmony,
-
our agreement. Amen. And in John sixteen and eight through eleven,
-
which I just read to you, the work of the
-
Holy Spirit is to reprove, to point out a fault
-
or an error. Are to a expose something as it
-
is or as it really is. Amen. Why because the
-
Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth. So it's gonna
-
expose everything as it really is. Amen. Somebody, but in
-
church she's shouting and dancing and praising. But at home,
-
or in the mall or in the store she acts
-
like a heathen. Why because truth is she's a heathing.
-
It exposes Amen. I don't care how you act up
-
in here. The Holy Goal is gonna expose it because
-
it's the spirit of truth. Keep that in mind. Is
-
the spirit of truth. The Holy Spirit reproves in three ways, sin, righteousness,
-
and judgment, which is justice. Amen. Sin it talks about
-
in verse nine, the Holy Spirit reveals the need of redemption.
-
The greatest sin is unbelief, Amen, And the greatest work
-
is belief. And then righteousness the second thing verse ten.
-
Christ goes to the Father after a righteous life and
-
death that will impute this righteousness to others. It is
-
because of the righteousness of Jesus Christ. He goes to
-
the Father and announces, because you'll cover it under the
-
blood and the blood, and you have the blood stained
-
that you are righteous in the sight of God. Because
-
of the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Judgment is justice speaks
-
bad self. Hey, man, That means that with this Holy Spirit,
-
all things that you will do in this life, when
-
you have this Holy Spirit, you would do it justly.
-
You will not because the Holy Spirit is not an
-
unjust spirit. So in understanding these things, then we must
-
understand what the will of God is. When we understand
-
these things, Amen, I'm teaching today, Thank your Holy Ghost.
-
The will of the Living God is that man walk upright.
-
That's God's will for mankind. And you can't walk up
-
the right unless you're walking in truth. And what is truth?
-
The spirit of God, which is the Holy Ghost. So
-
you must walk up right in truth and obedience. But
-
somebody say, but however, through conditions of deficiency, Man has
-
come to make us for of doing wickedness in the
-
sight of God is made of a sport. And this
-
is what was going on. Also in the days of Noah,
-
they had made a sport of committing sin and unrighteousness
-
and ungodliness. But what does the Bible tell us that
-
these days would be as the days of Noah? And
-
we're living in the prophecy of what Jesus Christ said
-
about these days Because these days are very sinful. Man
-
is practicing every sport of wickedness that he can come
-
up with in his mind. And that what got the
-
first world destroyed, and that is what is going to
-
get this world destroyed. It's repetitious. Man is still doing
-
what he was doing, hey man, because of the spirit.
-
You can't kill a spirit. The Spirit of Babylon is
-
running through and through this earth. I didn't say America,
-
I said the earth. In Revelation is eighteen. It tells
-
us that God is going to destroy the Spirit of Babylon.
-
But as long as it's running, it's wickedness is going
-
to climb. But is that our concern? Yes, it is
-
because we are called to witness, as I spoke this
-
morning in Sunday School, that we're not We are the
-
hope of the dying world, and the hope that's in
-
us is what we're supposed to be given to a
-
die world. But the church has allowed the dying world
-
to kill it and has infiltrated the House of God. See,
-
this kind of preaching is not going far in the
-
churches today. You know, I always go back to that
-
scene and other scenes that I've seen where these guys
-
are doing everything but what God called them to do,
-
and that's what's causing the church to diminish. But the
-
real thing is what we talked about this morning. Wisdom
-
is giving an invitation to God's people to come in,
-
and they're not using that wisdom, and that's why that
-
truth is not being foremented in the people of God.
-
You got folks in the pulpit, grown males walking around
-
with women heals on preaching the gospel to people. Have
-
seen two preachers like that. Now it's two of them
-
that wear heels women heels in the poor pit and
-
preach to the people. So where is the wisdom of
-
the people gone. No truth. You think I'm gonna sit
-
out there while man is ministering the word of God
-
to me wearing high heeled shoes, got on stilettos. Something
-
wrong with that picture. But the bigger picture is something
-
wrong with them people. So we are living in the
-
days as the days were, as no asdays. And when
-
we understand that man, in this dispensation of time has
-
made a great sport of wickedness, and it doesn't even
-
move them. It don't even move those in the church
-
because they are committing the same wickedness, because they have
-
allowed the church. The Church has allowed the world to
-
infiltrate it, and now they want to It looks so
-
glamorous to be more like them than them, to be
-
like us. But Ecclesiasts tells us Lord this, only have
-
I found that God had made man upright? The only
-
thing we found about God, He made man upright. But
-
they have sought out many inventions that means schemes and
-
evil things to do. These inventions, in their least destructive capacity,
-
leads those of whom are exposed to them, wounded, shattered,
-
and captive to the powers of darkness. It does those
-
folks up here that's leading the church are leading them
-
into darkness and even darker days because why they are
-
not filled with the spirit of truth, so they ain't
-
telling the truth. Somebody was talking to me about the
-
preacher the other day and I said, yeah, he's an
-
anointed back God said all other things he do. I said, yeah,
-
he's annointed back God. Yeah he is. I said, you
-
don't never hear him preach on a daughtry because he
-
got hundred women in the church is up under him,
-
so he's gonna preach about dultch and he got a wife,
-
he got a third wife or a second wife, matter
-
of fact, and babies by those sitting on the front row,
-
so he ain't gonna preach about adults. I ain't gonna
-
mention his name. I would tell he's in Memphis, though,
-
So he's preaching the gospel with an anointing, but darkness,
-
because you know, the devil's annointed to do his evil.
-
But because of the many schemes that the people of
-
God are caught up in by the so caught man
-
of God, they're wounded, shattered, and captives to the powers
-
of darkness, some to the physical powers of darkness, giving
-
all their money on past anniversary, and it can't pay
-
the light bill. So they in the physical doctness and
-
the spiritual doctors. I've seen that man is taken captive
-
by his own desires, his own lust. Nobody put you
-
in captivity but you that they have probably compelled you
-
and cohersed you and caused you. But you put your
-
own self in this captivity. And then when they are
-
in captivity, these men of God, so called ministering the
-
words to the people, they lead others into the like bondage.
-
When they remain in darkness too, they lead others. You
-
ever heard the I Am leading the blind fall in
-
the ditch. That's what they're doing. They in darkness. They're
-
leading the people of God into a deep of darkness
-
because the spirit of truth is not in them. Jeremi
-
four and two says, it informs us that the Lord
-
liveth in truth, in judgment and in righteousness, and the
-
nations shall bless themselves. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
-
Be blessed in Him and in Him shall their glory.
-
Truth as is manifested in God are back. God has
-
the transforming power to deliver truth, has the transforming power
-
to deliver us. Have you ever heard of the truth
-
will make you free? That's delivering. The transforming power of
-
deliverance is what the truth has when we receive it
-
and accept it. Amen, as we know, Amen as we know.
-
As in saying that you know, there's not a person
-
in here that don't know that the truth will make
-
you free. What is the truth? The spirit of God?
-
Hey man? What is the truth? Jesus Christ will make
-
you free? As we know. But I'm here to tell
-
you for those that's jumping back and forth, there is
-
no such thing as partial liberty nor a partial bondage.
-
I'm just in the little bondage. I ain't in all
-
that kind of bondy. It'll sustain. It is imperative. Therefore,
-
that those who believe in God through faith in the
-
Lord Jesus Rice, examining truth is imperative. It's like breathing air.
-
You must examine the truth. And they're not examining the truth.
-
That's why they are all being led in the darkness.
-
You see, truth has a transferring power. And when you
-
examine the truth, what transferring power it has and the
-
life that is in truth. Of course, we understand that
-
the evidence of truth will always prove itself. The evidence
-
of truth will always prove itself. I was watching the
-
should the other day where these women lied on these men,
-
but the truth came forth and it delivered them. If
-
the truth had not come forth, they would have been
-
in a lie and they would have been condemned by
-
the life, hey man. But the truth will have come
-
forth at some time, just like I understand the woman
-
who lied on Tillman, the young boy, and said he
-
whistled at us on a dying bed. She told the truth.
-
The truth gonna come out. I know sometime we believe
-
this takes too long, but it gonna come out, ay man.
-
And that's an enlightening point. That's a very enlightening point.
-
That's a hope to hold on to, to know that
-
the truth will come out. Now, it's only an enlightening
-
point for the righteousness of God. But a liar is
-
dangerous for them. They don't want the truth to come out.
-
See the lie, A lie and truth both have power,
-
hey man. But the truth is more powerful than a lie.
-
Are you with me? So here we see that life
-
is in those who walk in truth. I letna say
-
that again. Life is in those that walk in truth. Why.
-
I'm gonna be a minute, so y'all stay awake because
-
we need to know this, I said. We need to
-
know this. Life is in those who walk in truth.
-
Why because Jesus Christ is truth and Jesus Christ is life.
-
He said, So I'm the Truth, i am the Life,
-
and I am the way. So if you are in him,
-
and if he's in you, then you are walking in
-
the truth. Amen. But if he ain't in you, you're
-
walking in a lie. And you're a dead man too,
-
our woman. So life is in those who walk in truth, judgment,
-
and righteousness. Why because the Lord lives in the that's why.
-
And he lives only in these things. He don't live
-
in a life and unrighteousness and ungodliness. He only lives
-
in the truth. That's the only place he lives is
-
in the truth. And nowhere else. Whoa This is a
-
hard one. When Jesus Christ comes alive in us, as
-
we keep ourselves in these, and as we keep ourselves
-
in these, he comes alive in us. And what do
-
people see. They see Jesus, They see a shining star.
-
They see the light, and the light is him. That's
-
why when people look at you, they say something different
-
about you than that other person. Is something different about you. See,
-
they don't understand what the difference is, but they do
-
see there is a difference. And they should see difference
-
in you than they see in the world. Because you're
-
supposed to be the light of the world, the illumination, Amen,
-
because of Jesus in you, because the truth lives in you. Amen. So,
-
knowing the truth, are you listening? Knowing the truth but
-
not walking in the truth, will most or surely bring
-
you face to face with the terrible wraft of God.
-
It brings you in face face with him if you
-
don't know the truth and don't walk in it. But
-
the fact that you know the truth and won't walk
-
in it, oh yeah, it's gonna bring you in the terrible,
-
terrible presence of the wrath of God. In Romans one
-
in eighteen, the Scripture speaks to us on this wise,
-
and it says to us, for the wrath of God
-
is revealed from heaven against all somebody say, all, I'm
-
gonna help you. They y'all help me this morning, because
-
they might help me stay awake from all ungodlesness and
-
unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness. And
-
that's what you got in the poor piss today, the
-
men holding the truth in unrighteousness. Amen, Saints of God,
-
holding the truth in unrighteousness. You ever see people try
-
to use the Bible to help them out, they're using
-
it in an unrighteous way. That ain't what it means truth.
-
Somebody say truth as manifested by God is a standard. It,
-
in fact, is the only access we have into the
-
presence of God. Truth, God is revealed from Heaven against
-
all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth
-
and unrighteousness. In fact, is the only access we have
-
is the truth. As John fourteen and six says, Jesus says,
-
I am the Way, the Truth and the life. No man.
-
Somebody say, no, no man coming to the Father. But
-
by me, ain't no other way. I don't care what
-
open w'free seeing as many ways to the fire. No
-
it ain't. It ain't. Just the scripture just said what
-
it is. See when folks quote stuff out of their
-
own mind, thinking that they write about it because of
-
common sense and not wisdom of God. No it ain't.
-
But one way to the Father, and that's by Jesus Christ. Jesus,
-
he is the standard. He is the transforming power of
-
God in man. He's the transforming power of God in man.
-
Because he was the transforming power in Jesus. Jesus fed
-
the five thousand because of the transferring power of God
-
in his hands. That caused him every time he brought
-
the bread. He had transforming power. It was creating power.
-
But first he said Father, before he fed him. He
-
prayed Father, and God already knew what he wanted. It's
-
in your hand, son, All past five thousand Bible, just
-
say five thousand men, but there were women and children,
-
and women and children mostly outrank men. Children definitely outrank
-
with men and women for the most part. You may
-
have a father and a mother and they may have
-
three kids, or they may have six kids. A seven
-
kids are twelve kids, so the kids outnumber the mother
-
and father. So it was more than five thousand. So
-
it was a miracle. Amen. Truth has deliverance power, and
-
the delivering the delivering power of the truth becomes manifested
-
in man. When man humbles himself before the Lord. What
-
does that mean? It means repent and turn away from
-
your ways to His ways, which means you turning away
-
from your sins to His righteousness a man somebody, and
-
it's an act of surrendering, and that surrendering has to
-
be completely. I'm gonna surrender, but I'm just gonna hold
-
onto this right here. I'm gonna hold onto this in
-
this too, but I'm gonna surrender all the rest of this.
-
You ain't surrendered. You ain't surrendered, You can't keep nothing.
-
It's complete surrenders to the Lord. The Lord, Jesus Christ says,
-
if ye continue in my word, then you are my disciples.
-
There's a flip side. Disciples is a follow of Jesus Christ.
-
If you're not continuing in his word, then you're not
-
following him. Indeed, Amen, and you shall know the truth,
-
he says, if you continue to follow me, you will
-
know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
-
John eighteen thirty one and thirty two. So then we
-
say we see here the truth is the power of
-
deliverance in man. The truth will deliver you. The Bible
-
clearly says the truth will make you free. It'll give
-
you liberty. Does the truth hurt, Yeah, but it will
-
still make you free. The truth will hurt and help
-
you to live. A lie will hurt and kill you.
-
Are y'all with me? And by the way, there is
-
no such thing as a black a little white lie.
-
It's all a lie. And they got it's multiple colors
-
on a lie. It ain't just black and white. So
-
we see here in this lesson that truth delivers. Hey man,
-
why does truth deliver? See, y'all ain't paying attention. Truth
-
delivers because truth is Jesus. Y'all got me. Y'all with me.
-
It delivers because it's Jesus. It makes us free, because
-
he went on the cross and made us free. He's
-
the truth, the only truth.
-
Everything else is a lie. Everything else is a lie.
-
The Bible said so that God be the truth and
-
every man be a lie as scripture. I didn't make
-
that up. I'm trying to help y'all this morning. Why
-
I believe Brother Joe. I don't my desermer say brother
-
Joe's speaking, But if Jesus is speaking through Brother Joe,
-
I believe what he's saying. How y'all with me. I'm
-
taking this slow. Stay awake, don't make me call your name.
-
Stay awake. I want you to stay awake. I'm serious
-
about this. I'm upset about it in a good way,
-
y'all must y'all don't understand the endurance that I have
-
to have and go through through the week of watching
-
all kinds of damnation things going on, and people claiming
-
to be saved, but living in like a heathen. People
-
claim in this gospel, but a liars. But this house,
-
this house, It's gonna know the truth. And I'm not
-
gonna sugarcoat it, and i ain't gonna perform for you.
-
I'm gonna teach you this. I'm here to teach the word,
-
preach the word. It's up to you to live it.
-
And the word that come forth don't come from me.
-
It comes through me. So it's up to me to
-
live it. Hey man, he says, then you shall know
-
the truth, and you shall know the truth, And ye
-
shall know the truth. You shall know it, and the truth,
-
once you know it shall make you free. So then
-
you must see today that truth is the power of deliverance.
-
In man, it will deliver you. It's better to tell
-
the truth than tell a lie. It ain't never better
-
to tell a lie. So ain't such thing better than
-
it's always as a child of God. If the devil's child.
-
Always better to tell a lie because that's what glorifies him,
-
that's what gives him praise. Aymen. Oh yeah, the devil
-
won't glory and praise too. We all know that's what
-
got him in the position that he's in. Now he
-
wants it too. He got his own, folks, And we
-
must understand man's bondage. It's spiritual, and it's not only
-
spirit but it's internal. Amen. So the deliverance must be
-
spiritual and internal. So how blessed are we, Amen, How
-
blessed are we to have the promise of the indwelling
-
Spirit of God in us. That's a blessing. It's a privilege,
-
and it's a blessing. And it's an honor to have
-
the dwelling Spirit of Truth dwell in us. It's an
-
honor for the Spirit of Truth to wanna dwell in us. HM.
-
Who is the Holy Ghost, who is the Spirit of Truth?
-
Glory to God, Glory to the Most High God. For
-
true deliverance. I ain't say nothing but no partial deliverance,
-
because ain't no such thing. But for true deliverance. I
-
give God the glory and the praise, because it all
-
comes from up high. Amen. The dwelling spirit of Truth
-
is also a promise to us, So it ain't like
-
you can't have it. We all know that God. All
-
of God's promises are yes and amen in Jesus Christ
-
as scripture. I didn't make that up. It's in the book.
-
All of the promises of God are yes and a man,
-
which means yes, I agree that promise is mine. That's
-
why I say, is that, amen, I agree that all
-
of your promises are yet yes. Whenever I promised you,
-
don't worry about the answer. It's yes. It's already yes.
-
It belongs to you, every one of them. And it
-
is an honor and a privilege to have the Spirit
-
of God that will even want to end dwell in us. Amen.
-
It is a promise from God which has already been
-
fulfilled by Jesus Christ. Hey, man, it's already been fulfilled
-
in the Book of John fourteen in sixteen where he says,
-
and I will pray the Father this Jesus, and he
-
shall give you another comfort us. It's already been given
-
that he may abide with you forever. He ain't going nowhere.
-
Even the spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive
-
who even the Spirit. Y'all, hear what I'm saying, what
-
Jesus has you hear what I'm repeating that Jesus had said,
-
even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive.
-
The world cannot receive because it seeth him, not neither
-
knoweth him. But you know him, for he dwell with
-
you and shall be in you. He don't just dwell
-
with you, He also dwells in you. But the world
-
know him. Not. I ain't saying nothing bad about the world,
-
Just Jesus speaking here. Amen. The Gospel of Jesus Christ
-
reveals to us in clear language. Somebody said clear that
-
it is the Spirit of Truth that will accomplish when
-
he comes in you. And when he comes, he will
-
reprove and make known our convict the world of sin, descripture,
-
and of righteousness and judgment. This necessary reproof brings illumination
-
to the darkness of man. That's what the Spirit of
-
Truth does. He's gonna bring an illumination because he comes
-
to convict, not me. I'm just telling you what God says.
-
It's not my job to convict you. That's the job
-
of the Holy Ghost. Ay man. My job is just
-
to tell you the word, try to plan to see,
-
but it's gonna illuminate to the darkness of man. The
-
spirit of truth is gonna illuminate what's hiding in man.
-
For what causes man to face his demons and face
-
the bondage that he's in. That's what that light does.
-
It calls you to face your demons as well as
-
place man in a position in a position of accountability.
-
It causes you to be accountable for some of us
-
won't take it, but you have to be accountable to God,
-
not me. Folk run around telling out well, they don't
-
tell pastors. You ain't worry about telling me. You not
-
held accountable to me. You held accountable to God. I'm
-
a held accountable to God. That's why I can't be
-
in no booth talking about listen to you talking about
-
I have sin. Priests forgive me. The priest will say,
-
so are thy son, get about his box and go
-
with me to the altar. How you ain't held accountable
-
to me? They still practicing that foolishness. And that's the
-
reason why God has revealed all of the damnable things
-
these priests are doing in this Castolic church. Because the
-
practice is out of order. Let me just say it
-
like this. It's a lie. It's not the truth. We
-
only accountable to God. That boop you go in, and
-
that wall between you represents the veil. The veil in
-
the Bible says it's been wricked, writed, and it says
-
it is safe from the top to the middle. It
-
says from the top to the bottom. So it's wide open.
-
It's what it's trying to say. In other words, the
-
door is open for you now to bring your convictions
-
to God on your own. You don't need nobody to
-
carry your stuff. You got it. It say, carry your
-
own stuff, and you can't carry nobody else's. You pray
-
for him, but you can't carry the stuff. The Gospel
-
reveals to us clearly, it's clear, clear language that we
-
are put in a position by the Holy Ghost to
-
be accountable to God and God alone, because the promise
-
of the indwelling Spirit of God, like all other promises,
-
must be received. How you with me. It's there, but
-
you must receive it. Salvation is there, but you must
-
receive it. He gonna make you take it. I told
-
you a long time ago three things I know God
-
don't do He don't force feed, He don't kidnap, and
-
he don't break it in it. He don't do them thing.
-
He ain't gonna kidnap you. In other words, he ain't
-
gonna kidnap the devil's children. He ain't gonna forcefeed you
-
the word of God, and he ain't gonna break into
-
your heart. You're gonna have to let him in. So
-
he ain't into those things. So the spirit of promise,
-
of the Spirit of Truth is a promise to all
-
of us, but we must receive it. We must receive
-
the Spirit of truth, the spirit that was promised. We
-
must receive it. Hey, man, before it can be accomplished,
-
we must receive it. There's no way he can accomplish
-
his purpose in us that we don't receive it. And
-
we know what the purpose of the Holy Spirit is
-
to come in us, but it can't accomplish it unless
-
we receive it. It said Jesus could not Jesus did
-
not do many miracles where he came from, because the
-
prophet is not honor in his own home. Yeah, they
-
don't understand Lisa in whole home because she saved, sanctified,
-
and they ain't ain't nonhing standing at Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay,
-
you can you can hear me, I hear you. See,
-
a prophet is not honored in his own home. They
-
they look they said this, you're talking about him. Joseph. Boy,
-
that's how they looked at him. Joseph mooy. Now that's
-
Jesus' son. Man help me. Yeah. Some did come good
-
at a nights, but they didn't know it mentality. That's
-
why the Bible says that the world cannot receive it
-
because it seid him not. They couldn't see it, so
-
they couldn't receive it. But you, the Bible says, shall
-
know him, for he dwells in you, and he shall
-
for he dwells with you, and he shall be in you.
-
Clearly the Gospel reveals this to us. So this promise
-
must be received to accomplish its purpose that God gave
-
it to us. For Jesus says he had to go,
-
and I'm gonna leave you another comforter, but you have
-
to receive him, just like they had to receive Jesus.
-
Jesus came that they all receive him. He went, but
-
as I go, I send you another comforter. So receive
-
him who may He's not gonna force it on you.
-
Why because God wants what you do for him to
-
be truth, amen, and not alive, and not for comfort
-
for truth. So before the spirit can be received in
-
that inn, a man, man must be set apart for
-
God as well. During one of the prayers for us
-
who believe, did y'all get that this prayer was for
-
those who believed, Jesus petitioned the Father for us. You
-
can't get no better than that. I can petition the
-
Father for you, but it ain't like Jesus. Yeah. So
-
Jesus petitioned the Father in this manner, and this is
-
the way he petitioned him for us. I pray not
-
that I pray, not that they that thou should have
-
taken them out of the world. I'm not praying that
-
you take them out of the world, but that they
-
should have keep them from the evil. They are not
-
of the world, even as I am not of the world.
-
And then he goes on to say, sanctify them, talking
-
about the believers, set them apart from the world. Sanctify
-
them through what through his truth. That's how you gonna
-
get sanctified Through the truth of God. Thy word is truth.
-
That's John chapter seventeen fifteen through seventeen, if you want
-
to read it for yourself. But I quoted it from
-
the Bible. I ain't make that up. Thy word is truth,
-
and thy word is Jesus. Jesus Christ is the word
-
of God manifested in flesh. Only complete say, complete surrender
-
to the Lord will place us in Christ, Jesus, who
-
sanctifies us in him, John seventeen and nine. Only complete surrender.
-
There's though such thing as partial surrender. People, It's no
-
such thing. Ain't no halfway house with God. You either in.
-
Oh yeah, ain't no halfway ain't no. It ain't no
-
such thing as traveling the fence. They made that up
-
to sound good, but it's not true. You can't straddle
-
the fence. You either in. Are you out? That's truth?
-
So you say complete surrenders, pastor I'm glad, y'all asked, Yeah,
-
that's what I said. What is it? It is the foundation,
-
foundation or element. This is what it's complete is of deliverance,
-
though it isn't the will of God. That man find
-
himself in bondage is not God's will. Man's inventions, his desires,
-
his skin have taken him captive. His own desires have
-
taken him captive. And God didn't do that. You did
-
it to yourself because God gave you choice. I just
-
told you he ain't in the force feet. God gonna
-
feed you this word. You got to get in this
-
word and get it for yourself. And when you get
-
this truth, when you get in this word, then this
-
word gets in you, hey man, just like when you
-
get in the world, the world gets in you. You
-
ever see mothers have this this strong intuition when they
-
see their kids hanging with the wrong person. They know, Uh,
-
he gonna wind up being messed up. Why because he's
-
hanging around the wrong people. He's hanging around worldly people.
-
The world gonna get into them. I didn't teach you
-
to you, I ain't teaching him that. I ain't raised
-
him that way. All prayers say, I ain't raised him
-
that way. Now, you didn't raise him that way. But
-
because he got out there and got lost in the world,
-
the world raised him that way. So it got in
-
him because he was in it. So when you get
-
in the word, then the truth will get in you,
-
and then the truth will give you complete deliverance. Are
-
your with me? Because the desires of man, and the
-
wickedness of man comes from man himself. Man has caused
-
himself to be in captivity to sin. Because my Lord,
-
and say, if you died on the cross of sin
-
and made us free of it, you fight with it
-
because you don't want to let it go. The prophet
-
Jeremiah says, the Lord tells us, if thy will return,
-
O Lord, oh Israel. And that's what God's saying today.
-
He's saying it right now. He's saying it right now.
-
If thou will return, old people of God, Oh, if
-
the church would return, said the Lord, return unto me,
-
because the Church has gone astray. And God is speaking
-
loud today. If all, if you just return unto me,
-
and if thou will put away thy abominables, this out
-
of my sight, then shalt thou not remove are cause
-
you to be moved, Are to be shaken? Because God
-
won't violate are y'all listening. He will not violate the
-
free will he created in us. He will not. That's
-
the reason why Jesus had to come. Because of what
-
Adam One did. He couldn't violate his word. He could
-
not violate the free will. See, man must choose to
-
put down his devices. Man must choose to put his
-
own vices down in devices and cast him from himself.
-
Only when man, y'all have to listen to this, Take
-
this in. This is gonna be very vital to you.
-
Only somebody say, only only when man wills to be
-
delivered will the true power of deliverance have access to
-
change the inner man. Only when man wills to be delivered,
-
will the true power of deliverance have access to change
-
the inner man. Watch this, Though it is desire, are
-
lust that takes man captive? Your will has dominion over desire.
-
Did y'all get that? See you may desire to do something,
-
but if it ain't your will to do you ain't
-
doing it. It's not till it's your will to do
-
that it will overpower your desire to want to do it.
-
It's a whole lot of people in hell that desire
-
to be saved, but they will didn't kick in. So
-
the will has dominion over desire. A will for deliverance
-
always renders the desire to remain in bondage, remain powerless.
-
See desires powerless to the will. When deliverance becomes our will,
-
it lines up with the divine, divine and supreme will
-
of who God and the Spirit of Truth comes in
-
and gives us the power to walk in liberty, liberty
-
through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Likewise the Holy Ghost,
-
because the Holy Ghost is a constrainer, for he keeps
-
us from doing the things that our contrary to God.
-
The truth. I'm almost done, y'all. Hole over. The truth
-
as manifested by God's Almighty is erected. It's upright and
-
cannot be to fit. Didya get that? The Truth as
-
manifested by God Almighty is erect upright, and cannot be
-
bent to fit or to conform to the crooked conditions
-
of men. Can't do it. You can't bend God's Truth.
-
If you try to bend it, bounce up, don't stay straight.
-
Can't bend it. Man. I'm just gonna be in the
-
truth a little bit now. You telling a lie. You
-
ain't been in no truth. Truth won't be in for
-
people say, I'm just gonna be in the truth. I'm
-
just being in the truth a little bit. Now. You
-
ain't been in no truth. You lying come to understand
-
that's what you're doing, because you ain't been in no truth,
-
because truth don't being not the truth of God, it
-
don't be in it won't being to fit crooked man's condition.
-
Man must take hold of the truth and pull himself
-
upright and straighten up to the truth, because the truth
-
not gonna straighten up to you. Truth is a delivering
-
Truth is the delivering and transforming power of God. And
-
what it does, It takes us out of the darkness,
-
Hey man, It takes us out of the darkness of
-
this world. Truth does. That's why we can see so
-
clearly us who I believe us, and the truth is
-
it and we're walking in the truth with me, we
-
walking in the Holy Spirit of God. We can That's
-
why we can see stuff. We see stuff out. You
-
see stuff all the time. They come in your job,
-
lying like a doll. You'll be like, yeah, you lying.
-
You wouldn't nowhere. Yes's why you sposed. You know you're
-
supposed to been here. You flopping around somewhere else doing
-
something you ain't gonna business. But you don't say that.
-
But you can see that because the truth will help
-
you see. Amen. Ah, hold to the truth that you
-
may pull yourself upright and be straightened. Amen. Because the
-
truth has delivering power, a deliverance power. Amen. See, the
-
truth has delivered delivering power. Because the truth can transform,
-
It has transforming power. Are you with me? The truth
-
has transforming power, and it can transform us to that
-
deliverance and bring us out of the bondage that we
-
put our own self in. But when we have truth,
-
we don't walk in darkness of this world no more.
-
We can see what the world does, what it does
-
and runs into things because he can't see. It can't
-
see spiritually. It can see with its natural eyes, but
-
it can't see spiritually. That's why all the folk voted
-
for Donald Trump. They couldn't see spiritually. They were looking physically.
-
They were looking out of wont and greed, and it
-
backfired on because they was in darkness and guse he
-
was leading them, and he in darkness. But when we
-
walk in the transforming power of God, which is the Truth,
-
it takes us out of the darkness of the world.
-
And when it takes us out of the darkness of
-
the world, it places us into the kingdom of His
-
dear son, in whom we have redemption through His blood,
-
even the forgiveness of sins. Hey man, When we walk
-
in this the Bible clearly says in the Book of
-
Colossians and the first verse and the the first chapter. Rather,
-
in the thirteenth verse, the Bible says, who had delivered
-
us from the power of darkness and had translated us
-
into the kingdom of His dear son, in whom we
-
have redemption through His blood, even forgiveness of sin and scripture.
-
And to make that up. So if we are so,
-
here's the thing. If we're still I'm getting ready to
-
come to a conclusion, So y'all can leave here and
-
go do nothing. But I'm coming to a conclusion. If
-
we are still experience in bondage, then that means total
-
surrendering is and yet a factor in our life. Okay,
-
y'all want me to say it again, I will. If
-
we're still experiencing bondage, then total surrenderings is not being
-
perfected in our life, is not yet a true factor
-
in our life. Amen. And if we have not totally surrendered,
-
we know it is solely due to our needing to
-
give more of ourselves to the Lord. That's why it's
-
not a total factor. Because we know. I don't know.
-
I said we know, And what I mean by we
-
know it means you know what you know. I don't
-
know what you know, but I know what I know.
-
And I don't know what you know, but I know
-
what I know. So if you ain't got complete surrenderings,
-
then you don't have the fact of true deliverance, a
-
true deliverance. But I don't know. Only you know, Amen,
-
only you know. If you still experienced in bondage, then
-
you haven't totally surrendered it all to God. But I
-
don't know that. Only you know, because you only one
-
that know what it is. Amen. See, if you ain't
-
totally surrendered, it's due to the fact that you need
-
to give more of yourself to the God, to the Lord.
-
And somebody saying, if we are giving God our very
-
best and all and all in all? If I said,
-
if we're giving God our very best and are all
-
in awe, deliverance is a fact in our life, for
-
we are subject to the will of God. On the
-
other hand, there's another hand, If there's another If somebody say, hey,
-
we know we could be giving God more of ourself.
-
Question why are we not doing so? Another question? Who?
-
What's his name? What's her name? What's their names are?
-
What are we holding out? On God? For who you
-
holding that on God? For? What are you holding out
-
on God? For? Who is it? Or what is it for?
-
Whatever it is? Thank you, sister, it is not worth it. See,
-
if you're holding out on God, you got to ask yourself,
-
is this worth me dying and going to hell? There?
-
You got it right there that I'll just straighten you
-
all the way up. It's that's simple. Oh yeah, this
-
ain't no shopping message. I know. God told me that
-
when I left the health. See, we gotta stand fast.
-
We gotta stand fast. And therefore in the liberty where
-
with Christ had made us free. See what we gotta
-
stand fast in the liberty in which God made us
-
free in the first place. We gotta stand fast in
-
that liberty He gave it to us freely, hey man,
-
And be not entangled again with the yok of bondage
-
Galations five and one. This is a very very important
-
admonishment to us all that we be not entangled again
-
with the yok of bondage, because I'm here to tell
-
you I've seen it, I've watched it. When you get
-
entangled with the yok of bondage again, it somehow brings
-
mo hands. It brings more hands to hold on you,
-
and your fight is greater than it was before when
-
you allow yourself to be entangled again with the yoke
-
of bondash. It's very important to understand. So this should
-
compel us to keep ourselves free from the entrappment of
-
the lure of sin. Why because once it grabs a
-
hold of you again, it's hard to get a loose.
-
I got a brother right now in Michigan. He's fighting,
-
trying to get away, keep falling shot. I said, you
-
ain't let it go yet. Brother. I can tell just
-
by talking to you and listening to your conversation. And
-
I begin to keep talking, he don't say a word.
-
That's evident that what I'm saying to him he know
-
is true. And then when he do speak, Yeah, brother,
-
there it is. I said, I know, man, I warned
-
you against the fall you was about to take, and
-
you still didn't protect yourself free will. Nobody did it
-
to you. You did it to your own self. So
-
people today with this understanding that Jesus is the Son
-
of God, and that Jesus Christ is the Word of
-
God manifested in the flesh, we must also grasp and
-
understand that if the sun therefore and he did, shall
-
make you free, he shall be free. Indeed, that's the
-
only freedom you're gonna get it. Get it from the
-
Sun and man. Because Jesus Christ came into the world.
-
This is why he came in the world. He ain't
-
have to come here. He came to make us free.
-
He came into the world that we might have liberty,
-
which is freedom. We have the so we have the
-
obligation somebody say obligation, say it again of walking in
-
the liberty glory. Find God in our body, in our
-
body and spirit which is his. So let the spirit
-
of the Lord and the spirit of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
-
of the Living God, let him come into our hearts
-
today a man completely. Whatever's in there that's empty or
-
it's holding space, feel it and move it. Whatever's in
-
there is your empty space, feel it. Whatever in there
-
that's don't need to be in there, move it. Are
-
your with me? If it's empty, feel it, if it's
-
in the way, move it. Aymen. So we got to
-
come so he can come into our heart and that
-
wull be the beloved of God, and that we that
-
we may have all the desires that he has for
-
us and the to do ay man, because this is
-
what he desires of us. It is his will for
-
us to walk in the spirit of truth on his
-
own return. I should have said, on this return of
-
the Lord, let us shed all the deeds of the
-
old man and put on all somebody say all of
-
the new Man, and forever walk in the newness of
-
Jesus Christ. This day. I don't comb what you did yesterday.
-
I only camach you did before you got here. But
-
I'm talking about right now and being mindful, Say mindful,
-
Say mindful that in God is no darkness at all.
-
Be ever mindful that though we shall have trouble in
-
this world. We shall have trouble in this world. Say trouble,
-
we're gonna have it. Say we're gonna have it. He
-
told us we're gonna have it. So be mindful, be
-
ever mindful that though we shall have trouble in this world,
-
the Lord Jesus Christ has overcome the world. So the
-
trouble ain't no trouble. Because if you mindful that we're
-
gonna have trouble in this world, be also mindful that
-
Jesus Christ has overcome the world. He has overcome the world.
-
And in him, I said, in him, so in him.
-
If Him is in you, that is in you too.
-
Because in Him that's in you. Amen, we can be
-
of good cheer and quick panicing about the wickedness that's
-
going on in this world. Amen. Jesus has done it
-
all for us. We need only but remain in Christ
-
Jesus unmovable. And if we stay unmovable and stay at
-
fast it is our victory is assure. Amen. If we
-
stay unmovable, unshakable in Jesus Christ, our victory is asure. Amen.
-
I said a lot. But if you don't get nothing else,
-
walk in the spirit of truth. Amen. We're standing at
-
this time. I want us to be mindful of our
-
brother and the death of his brother, brother James. Brother. Amen,
-
y'all give me one moment and wearing a coup of
-
hat chair. But let us be mindful of our brother James,
-
his brother died. And let us be prayer for for
-
sister Porter as well. Amen. Keep them on in our prayers.
