Time to get back to the mission you were call to do

Church.

We're located at three on nine South twenty fifth Street

in West Memphis, Arkansas. We heard to preach the word

and teach the word, and it's up to you to

live it. Get ready and open up your bibles. Let's

get started.

Kind of quiet in there. I've been excited for the Lord.

I'm just glad to be here, Hey, ma'am, Thank you Lord, y'all.

I've been praying he Praise him, Praise him. God is

an awesome God. Every day proves that to me. Everyday

God proves that He is an awesome God. Amen. He

is an awesome God. Amen. I was listening to some

things this week about certain things happening, and it all

points to how all awesome God is. Isn't he awesome?

I'm so glad God ain't like man, but you prayed

man would come to be like God. Hey man, God

is an awesome God. Amen. Somebody amen, somebody, Yeah, thinking

about what my brother said, Yeah, you don't want to

know the whole thing. But and winds in South Carolina

were cutting up. They were cutting up bad knocked the

tree down in his backyard. But the tree didn't hit

the house. Amen. Somebody, winds at sixty five miles an

hour rain. And they had a little spot under this

It's a little spot they fixed under his steps where

they can go for in this case the storm comes,

you know, the protection. His wife was like, she wanted

to go upstairs or something. He said, well, you go upstairs.

He said, you want to stay down here and be

uncomfortable and live or go upstairs and die? Which one

you want to he said, He's funny, I'll tell you

God got you. Of course she's like, oh, he ain't

that uncomfortable. Hey man, God is an awesome gud. He

spares our lives. My brother was in a car accident,

uh when I was out of town a couple of

weeks ago. And if you saw the car, you would

declare it was something wrong with him because the back

the guy hit him was in a van and he

hit him no skid marks. He was doing about somewhere

between eighty ninety nine nine, pushed the whole back of

the car up to the past like where the back

seat was, and the car began to smoke and catch

on fire, and so his door was jammed, couldn't get out,

so he got out clammed out through the passenger side

but when but when the police came, y'all stay with me.

The police was talking to him and they was talking

to they had they talked to him. It was the

other police always talking because the guy who hit him

hit four other cars. He hit my brother's card, jumped

up in the air and knocked him out the way.

So look at God not allowing him to hit the

other cars and re responsible for them. Y'all ain't hearing

what I'm saying. Noted his card the way and then

he hit four other cars. How fast he was going.

And then the police was talking to my brother. And

the police said to my brother, so where was the

guy that was in that first car? He said, you're

talking to him? He said, you was in that car?

He said yeah, He said, you all right? Even get

in the panic because the car was total. It broke

the wheels off the back. He had his brim on,

y'all know how you know how so Ian do it

his brim on it. You know, y'all know how he

dressed brim straight and everything. He said, all I need

to do is get get my Bible at that trunk

because they couldn't get the trunk over. But the police

officer said, where's the gad that was in the car?

He said, you're talking to the gad that was in

the car. He said, man, you all right, you need

an ambulance. Everything he said, he said, I'm now, I'm good.

You show. He was just going on and on because

he couldn't believe that my brother was standing there Creachpins

had brim on looking all right, everything was straight. You

can't tell me that God ain't awesome, And it had

in the very same day I came in town. Wow,

you can't tell me God ain't Austin. See. That's the

reason why this message here is so important to each

and every one of us, and it's so important to

those that are listening that's claiming Jesus Christ says, they

Lord and Savior, claiming that they are a child of God. Amen.

Is so important cause in the Book of Luke chapter five. Amen,

the Book of Luke, chapter five, my brother even went

up to the guy that ran into him, and he

was in the van on the phone. He probably was

on the phone was the reason why he hit him

in the first place, And he said, man, what is

the problem? He said, he was late trying to get

to an appointment. Now, you ain't gonna make it, Luke,

Chapter five, Verse one. Let us pray. Father, We thank

you for this privileging opportunity. We thank you God for

allowing us to see another day. That Lord, if I

be gracious and merciful as you are, forgive us for

whatever we may have said, or done or thought. Any way.

We may have acted God in the precious name of

Jesus Christ. But we come in the name of Jesus

and his name only do we come for this power

in the name of Jesus. And there's entrance into you God,

by way of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We

thank your Lord for that privilege and opportunity. We thank

you Lord for our Savior who allowed us back into

your graces. Father, back into your presence. We thank you

for being here this morning. We thank you God for

rebuking the enemy. God. We thank you for shunning the

evil that we seen and unseen. God. Thank your Lord

for all that you do for us and all the

saints of God. I ask God this word, go forth today.

God threw me from you by the help of the

Holy Spirit and the power the Anointed, and you placed

upon my life. Let the power of your words reach

the people that are listening today over the airways and

even in this house, and save the unsaved. God, bring

back the backslider, and encourage even the more, and strengthen

the saints that are holding on in these last and

evil days. Look upon our government who claims to be

our leaders. God, turn their heads in the righteous way

that you would have them to go. Lord, rebuke the

evil that's in their hearts and minds, because they are

that they're so evil today. God, turn them around. Father,

in the name of Jesus. Let their words not be deceitful,

for we know that their words are not for the people,

but for themselves. Turn them around, God, and help the people. God,

Save God this world as much God, as thy see

it fits according to Thy will and Thy purpose, and

is in Jesus name, I pray, thank God, Amen and Amen.

In the Book of Luke, chapter five, as the people

of God, we have a responsibility to the call and

the walk in Jesus Christ. Amen. In verse five, the

Bible says, and it came to pass that as the

people pressed upon him, they crowded around him to hear

the word of God. Isn't that wonderful? In that they

ain't try. They ain't. They ain't crowding around today to

hear no word of God. But anyway, he stood by

the lake uh Genus Genus secret, and he saw two

ships standing by the lake. But the fishermen were gone

out of them and were washing their nets, so they

were just laying there. The ships were just setting there.

The fishermen had already been out, and they dinet came

to dock and down they washing out their nets. So

Jesus saw something he could use, amen, and he ended

into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed

him that he would thrust out. Now, he ain't prayed

like he praying for him when they said he prayed him.

He's asking him to do it. He's asking him to

thrust out a little from the land. And he sat

down and talked the people out of the ship, which

was a multitude the people, because you understood, they crowded

around him. So it was a multitude. So Jesus, being

all wise, got in one of the ships and thrust

out because what he knew in his in finite wisdom

was that his voice would carry over the waters would

carry his voice. Hey man, like a microphone. There was

so many people he needed all of them to hear

what he had to say. So now in verse four,

when he had left speaking, when he stopped speaking, was

that means when he says he left speaking, he said

that the signmon, launch out into the deep and let

down your nets for a drought. Okay, Now I done

talked all the folks, and there's a scenario here. He

done talk all the folks. So now he's telling he's

through talking to them. So now he's telling them, now

get on that a little feather because we're going fishing.

Now it's gonna come all together for y'all. He said, Now,

now I done got through talking all the crowd. Now

what I want y'all to do now is to get

on out there a little further in the water so

we can go fishing. Now, mind you that the ships

were setting there and nobody was using them because they

already been out and they was washing their nets. They

were washing their nets because they already been fishing. Hey man,

And Simon Anson said, unto him, Master, we have toiled

all the night and have taken nothing. Nevertheless, at that word,

I will let down the nest. He said, we don

have been our fishing, we have not caught anything. But

because you said it, let's go. I'm gonna be obedient

because you said it. Lord, I'm gonna be obedient because

you said it, even though we' done been there already

and we ain't caught nothing, because you told us to

go back out there, Let's go, y'all, Eh hallelujah. And

when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude

of fishes, and their nets break, uh huh, because they

were obedient to God. With back got fishing, even though

they didn't catch nothing the first time they went out.

Because of their obedience, they caught so many fish they

nets couldn't hold them. And they beckon into their partners

which way they had call other people come on out there,

that they should come and help them, and they came

and filled both the ships so that they began to sink.

That's so many fish in the boat, it's starting to sink.

How many know? Jesus will bless you far greater then

you can ask. I think he'll give you an overflow.

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying,

depart from me if I am a sinful man, oh Lord,

for he was astonished, and all that were with him

droft of the fishes which they had taken. He was

astonished by their care. They ain't never called them like

that in their life nowhere near. And so was also

James and John, the son of Eba, did which were

partners with Simon. And Jesus said, unto Simon, fear not,

for whenceforth thy shall catch men. And when they had

brought their ships to land, they forsook all and followed him.

They left everything behind. They were so amazing in all

of what Jesus had them to accomplish that when they

got to the land, are we going where he goes?

If this what comes from following him, We're gonna go

where he goes. They just left everything behind. A man

may be seated in the house of the Lord. We

can go home now. I feel like you I know

already priests, But the church say, man, hey, man, See

this lesson is directed to us that Jesus Christ has

given us purpose. So He's given us a mission. This

read when they forsook off and followed him. Now they're

on the mission of what Jesus Christ symbolized to them.

He first spoke to the multitude, because when he began

to speak, they were all drawn. He drew them. So

now he's getting ready to teach them how not just

to catch fish, but how to catch me. This was

the lesson that Jesus was teaching them. Now you're on

a mission to complete a purpose, just like every one

of us that was. I ministered this word about three

years ago, four years ago. Okay, good, I'm gonna give

you some more with it, because that's all we do.

We repetitionous about this. All of the Word of God

leads to one point. It all does. I can teach

on the Lord at a Psalm twenty three. I can

teach on the Lord is till Jesus come back, just

the first the first part of the first line, the

Lord is. Because there's so much in the Word of

God that we miss, and when we go back over

we get more and more. Amen. And this the mission

and reminded me of a show that used to come

on years ago. It comes on it they don't revise

it now and got Tom Cruise in and all that.

But back then it was a good to get smart.

Now I remember that get smart, y'all might not have

been born. But hear my mature folks back the year,

I don't remember that, but but yeah, yeah, that's him Maxwell.

But he was he was a private, he was a

secret he was a secret service person. He was a spy.

It's a sword I'm looking for. And he would always

get these missions. He would he would go into a

phone booth and get a tape. They would tell him

where to go and he would get this tape and

he had a mission to complete a purpose. Are you

with me? So he would listen to the tape and

the tape would give him directors of what he had

to do. And at the end of the tape it says,

if you accept this, it's your mission to do. But

if you don't, that it's not your mission. But what

I'm here to tell you is not what the tape

told him, hey man, and that the show was called

Mission Impossible. Uh huh. And then after he listened to

that tape, it would the tape would it would tell

him you can choose to accept it or not. But

I want to tell each and every one of you

who claiming Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior this morning,

that it's your mission. If you accept it or not.

If you accept it, it's your mission. If you fail

to accept it, guess what, it's still your mission. You

don't get to do like Maxwell smart and see after

the tape was through, it would explode. Y'all missed it.

If you are a member of the body of Christ, Amen,

it's your mission, whether you accept it or not. What

is your mission? Huh? God has sent each and every

one of us on a mission to complete a purpose,

and the purpose we all have the same purpose, but

our mission may be a little different. Amen. Verse ten

tells us and so was also James and John and

the son of Zebdeh, which were partners with Simon. And

Jesus said to Simon feared not from henceforth thy shall

catch men. That is our mission. Amen, This is our

mission to bring men and women to Jesus Christ. And

I would ask how many. Please don't raise your hand.

It's our mission to bring men and women to Christ.

So the question has to be posed this morning, to

put put on your mind so you can look over

your own mission for the purpose that you are to

complete for God in the time when he comes. Hey, man,

how many, how many? I asked you today? How many

souls have you won? To Jesus, we are about to

embark into the seventh months of this year. We're about

to be more than halfway through twenty twenty five, six

months in going on seven How many have we ministered

to about our mission? Our mission? It's our mission. The

moment you say here I am Lord, use me. You

don't an assignment. The moment you came to the altar

wherever it was, you say Lord, here I am a wretch. Undone,

take me and use me, send me, I'll go. How

many have went this year? In six months? How many

souls have you won so far? This month this year?

Some people don't even want to think about it, but

I wish you would. Because you've been to church. You've

been to the Temple of God. Those that are listening

over the airways have been to the Temple of God.

And those that are here today you've been to the

Temple of God. And if you've been to the Temple

of God, most have you've been to Bible study? Amen.

And if you've been to Bible study, you've been to

Sunday School most of you, amen. So you have been

equipped for your mission. And if you're at home, studying.

You've been equipped. Amen, it got quiet again. You've been

out in the communities once you've been equipped. You've been

to the store. Once you've been equipped, You've been to work,

work work. Once you've been equipped, you've been at home,

visited your family. Once you've been equipped. Your mission does

not start and stop in the Temple of God, but

it starts outside of the Temple of God. If you

notice Jesus had twelve disciples. It did not start with Jesus.

He equipped them and then it started, because it's then

he sent him out once he equipped them, but he

just sent him out. He first equipped him to go out.

How many souls have we wonder Jesus far this year?

Because this is our mission. Now, it's gonna be a

quiet one. So I'm here today to tell you that

the reason churches are not growing. And I'm not talking

about the house being full. I'm talking about mature in

Jesus Christ. That's growth. You get one hundred thousand people

in here and still not even made it the kindergarten.

Yet ain't nobody grown. That's what's happening in the mega church anyway.

Ain't nobody grown? Why? Because they performing they're off the

mission and on their own accord. They got their own mission.

They own now, not own the mission that God put

them on them. They on their own mission. Anytime I

look over a megaministry, and as I said before, if

you notice when they're doing all this foolish just in there,

they ain't got no lights on in there. It's Doc

and there. You ever notice that you can watch him

on YouTube is Donk in there. They got all the

lights out. Look at it sometimes, look at it all

the time. I look at it all the time, all

the lights out in there. I'm watching them in the past.

It come on, y'all, I'm gonna start up here, get

it together, let's go together, work it out. Walk at out,

walk out, and they're all dancing like they're in the clubs,

stroll lights blinking, thousands in there on their own mission.

That's why the church today is not growing, because they've

lost sight of the mission. They don'et lost sight of

the mission. Their eyes is fixed on the Mercedes and

the rolls, rosses and the big old mansions, the gated houses,

the big big ministries. To speak to the people. I

got a big old church. Oh you got his trouble, brother,

and you're part of it because you ain't even on

you the lost sight of the mission. Their mission now

is to get more and more people in there, and

that's why they've got their own mission, doing whatever it

takes that they believe it takes to get the folks

in there. Preachers flying out of the daggonna sky down

to the poor pit. That ain't God. Jesus never flew nowhere,

since he is our example. If you're with me, they

got they got their mission wrong. Brown Baptist, their pastor.

I'm gonna tell it. You know, I had decided that

I was stop doing it. But the Bible says, expose them.

That's what they said, expose them. They're too busy entertaining

the people. What in the world. At the beginning of

the sermon you see that it's a big church. A

man flying out of the sky all the way down

to the podium. That's on your mind the rest of

the service. When you leave that that Sunday, you gonna

talk about how the man flew down to the podium

like he was in the Ringley Brothers circus. He was

in the Ringley Brothers Simon. If he wasn't in his

in his mission, trying to impress the people. Look at me.

I know it ain't God, but I wish the cable

had broke see the par The problem today is they've

lost sight of the mission. And people today in the

church think it's all about them. They think it's all

about them folks sitting around in God's houses, aymen looking

around at everybody else, got their spiritual daggers sharpened up

against everybody else and not willing to be one of

the Indians, but wanna be the chief. And everybody can't

be the chief because if there's not a spirit of

fellowship and the spirit of submission, and the spirit of willingness,

and the spirit of dedication, and most of all what

drives all of that is the spirit of love. See,

we believe because of what the world is dictating to

us and the anointing that's on the evil of the

day is that we can do anything, have anything, and

go about any kind of way because of the deceitfulness

of the seductive spirit in the earth that's causing all

He said making them. It ain't making them. They're making

a choice. So it's causing them to make the wrong

choice and to get off the mission that God calls

you for as his child. If you don't have none

of that stuff in your church, then the house just

ain't right. You see, God first of all makes the

house right. Notice Jesus made the house right first before

he sent him out. You can't just send folk out

there all raggedy. You're gonna lose some souls there's already lost.

So first the house gotta be right. And once the

house is right, then comes the call to go out

into the highways and the byways and the edges. And

then you can compel men to come in that the

house may be felled because where Jesus is. When the

crowd gets the word, they come and they fill up

the house because God wants his house full. Hey man,

because in the text we just read, Jesus gave them

a demonstration as fishermen on how to catch fish. And

then he said, what I'm going to do is teach

you how to catch men. And if you know anything

about fishing. Anybody know anything about fishing? Are y'all too

scared to put your hands on worms and with all

that kind of stuff? But you probably sing folks fish,

But that don't teach you how to do it. Matter

of fact, they don't even explain what they actually doing

to do it. See, there's a science to fishing, hey man.

Some people don't want to catch nothing but bluegills. Some

people won't bass, y'all with me. Some people won't catch fish,

some wan't buffalo, some people even like God. So you

gotta know how to catch them. And well, Jesus, I'm

gonna teach you how to catch men. And if you

know anything about fishing, it's a science. And it takes

bait to catch them. And it just don't take the

same bait. It takes different bait for different fish. And

some fish don't care what it is. They gonna they

gonna latch onto it. See bass, they like living moving things.

So you just put a worm down there. Nine times

out of ten, it ain't happening for unless that worm

starts moving around down there. Catfish, then they gonna hit

any They don't care if it's alive or not. They

gonna hit worms, liver, and anything you kind of concoct

and put together. So this ain't know I'm talking about.

You got the blue gill out the brim. She put

them little crickets on there. They loved them little crickets.

They gonna hit them. They love them little worms too.

But you gotta know what kind of tool do you

use as well where you're trying to catch your fish,

because you can't use a catfish hook to catch a

brim because his mouth too small. Sometimes you might get

one hooked, but for the most part, you need a

smaller hook for the bringer and a bigger hook for

the catfish, and a stronger line for the catfish. See,

it's a science to this. That's why Jesus, I'm gonna

teach you how to catch me in the science to this.

Uh huh. You might need a different weighted line because

catfish is gonna fight and the line got to be tough.

You can snatch the brim right out of there with

a thin line. Ain't a big deal. Them bass, they

gonna give you a fight like they're way all on

your line. When once they hook, they gonna go for it. YOA,

here what I'm saying. I went deep sea fishing and

we had to go see sometime they might be up

if you in a lake are pond, they might be

one foot down, they might be four feet down. But

when you're in the ocean. They two hundred feet down,

so we had to fish two hundred feet down to

catch what we were after. Had to go to a

certain spot because that's where they wear. We were after

costant Havoc, that's the name of the fish. Two hundred

feet down. We were pulling them up. I caught a

shark about five feet long. It was a baby, but

it was a It's a tough line because if you

get one of the little weak lines and poles, he'll

break at and get away. Y'all ain't hear what I said.

He'll break that and get away. So you gotta be

wise in your fish. So Jesus don't teach them how

to fish for me. And because he already taught them

how to catch fish, they had to put the nets

down because they wanted with Jesus head when he cast

the float out at first and begin to speak to

the month itude. So he said, cast your nets out. Nets,

gonna catch a month or two of the fish. See

a pole, don't catch one or two, but then donna

catch a multitude. Sometimes we fish with two hooks on

there to find out where they at, or they hide,

or they lower. Sometimes they hide and low. When you hit.

You got two fish on your line. When you pull

them up, I'm gonna teach you how to fish. The

tactics are different, but we still after the same purpose

catching fish. Hey man. You might use a different tactic,

but you after the same purpose the fish. You may

use a different tactic, but you after the same purpose

the souls of men. Hey man. So maybe some of

you need to learn how to fish first, and maybe

you'll learn how to catch men. I love to fish.

Sometimes when I go to the lake and I've been there,

I'm going out on the boat. Someone might be coming

in and they would tell me, Man, they ain't biting today.

We been out there for a while. We ain't caught nothing.

It sound like Peter Well. I say to myself, it's

not a matter of if they're biting, but it's a

matter of where they at. Using the wrong place. See,

you gotta find out where they are, so you can

see having an obligation to snatch men and women out

of the fire. We have that obligation. So what we

do sometimes he where why was you at? Man? I

was over here? Okay. So sometimes the river runs like that,

and then there's a little gully in there that water

runs in there and then it goes back, it goes

straight on out. Sometime them fish up and there. You

don't fish out here, go up and there. Yeah, and

that's what it did. We went up and down. We

was hitting croppy like ninety going west. He said, they

ain't hitting the day. He must have been over there,

or he could have been using the wrong thing, because

in a certain season there's a jig thing going on

with the fish. See, you gotta know the tactics to

catch him. You put a little jig on, a little

rubber little thing, look like a little worm. Might we

look like a little a cricket or something. You put

it in and none, you jig as jigging, and then bam,

a croppy hit that joke. Uh huh, Bless somebody would.

So we have an obligation to snatch mean and winning

out of the fire, just like you're trying to snatch

them fish out of the water. That's what you go

out there for. But because the church today has turned

their thoughts inward and their great concern is only me,

They're great concern is only self. Most folks today coming

to the church, they ain't think about no souls, to say,

They come for theyself, what could be theirself. They might

be coming to see how fine tan looking today. It

comes for theyself. The man might the man might find

out where Sus the Lame went the church that was oufter.

But he gonna come up in here. He looking for you.

He ain't looking for Jesus. Huh. They come to pry

to show you how fine their clothes. They big fat

hats and stuff on. It's turned inward. It's about self.

It's not about Jesus anymore. They come to see if

the preacher gonna perform, And if he don't perform, Huh,

he ain't preach his Sunday life. He ain't preach the

sony because he didn't perform. You come to see a

performance their self. I've had people ask me after speaking

the Word of God to them. They was excited about

the word, and then the next thing come out of

their mouth. Y'all got a good choir. They come to

be entertain else, not about souls. Souls is our mission

in our purpose. They come up here into the House

of God with their problems, my problem at home, my

problem with my coworkers, my problem with my children, my

problem with my fiance, my problem with my girlfriend, my boyfriend,

my problem with my health. And the more you pack yourself,

the worse your problem gets. So the best way to

keep the faith is to give it away. But I

know the world would like to put a guilt trip

on you for not it's they would like to put

a guilt trip on you for not doing this or that,

for your uh, for your for not doing what's to

be done for your physical man. You know, ain't you

got to look out for yourself. They won't put the

guilt trip on you. It's all about you. God got them.

But you can feed the hungry, that's the guilt trip

they try to put on you. Either. You can feed

the hungry and clothe the nicked, but if you don't

give them the word of God, you haven't done what

the Lord has put you out here to do. You

have not on your mission. You can feed the hungry,

that ain't the mission. It could be part of it,

but that ain't the mission. You can feed the hungry

and close the nicked, but that's not what God had

put us here to do, because anybody would closed. Anybody

were closed. How many clothes do they give out at

these Catholic churches. How many homeless dinners do they give out?

They feeding folks, But ain't nobody menacing to the folk.

And you're feeding them? You just feeding them. Have you

ever been to one of the missions? They just feeding them.

Folks coming there and they eating. They leave. Folks coming

there and they sleep and they leave. And when they

come into the some of these shelters, some shelters do

require them when they come in to come to a service.

Some of them do. But that's not the mission. You

got clothes, you can get folk clothes if they hungry,

and you got some food, you can give full food.

But only people who are washed in the blood can

give to a dying world Jesus Christ. And that's our mission.

One of the questions that opposes me is when I

don't see people that claim in Jesus Christ on the

mission for the purpose that is to be completed. Is

how many I saved claiming Jesus Christ. Because you know,

it's a lot of folks claiming Jesus Christ and thanking

God for this and thank God for that. Hey man,

they're so mixed up in this world today about who's

really saved and Father Lord, and I bring this up again.

They even gave an award to a sister at a

BT Awards. It's not even a godspel. All her songs

is evil, they're all demonic, but she got the Gospel Award.

Are y'all hearing what I'm saying? Her songs are evil

and demonic, but she got the Gospel of Ward because

she got maybe one or two songs on there that

talk about God that she don't even know about, and

she got up and got her award. Almost buck Nicker.

It's all over the media even about how wicked Kevin

Hart busted out Kurt Franklin. Folk. No, let me tell you,

some folks ain't stupid. But the thing about it is,

because he portrays what he does and claims what he claims,

he's sending the wrong message and the people are off track.

Even in the House of God. They have taken off

the mission of Jesus Christ and on the mission like

Kirk Franklin demonic mission. They gonna bust hell wide up

and with Kirk Franklin if they don't change their ways.

You ain't supposed to follow Kirk. He's supposed to follow

Jesus Christ. He's the Savior. Ain't no performer, no artist,

the savior. There's a mission God sent us all on

and it's the same purpose for the same purpose. Hey man, somebody,

we're supposed to be out here with this into a

dying world, but we claim to be saved, being saved.

Something come along with that. There's purpose behind being saved.

And when you saved, you need to know you saved it.

And when you know you saved, then you should be

on your mission that God save you for and save

you from. He saved you from something to save you

for something. Are you with me? That sound good to me?

He saved you from something to save you for something.

He didn't save you just to be saved me, myself

and I. But he saved you for something, for other

souls to be saved. Are we witnessing church? Because that's

what He saved us for. I mean, you don't have

to guess about it if you saved. Now I've talked

to are you saved? And they be like, well, then

before they can get it out, you ain't saved. I've

been baptized. Thank you. Sis man. Ask you how you

been dunked and diving and swimming in the YMCA. I

asked you why you saved, and when it takes you

too long to answer that, there's some guilty going on

in your mind. You ask me, and I'm saying. I say,

I'm saved, sactified, and filled with the Holy Ghost, with

confidence I know Jesus is mine. Do you know he's yours?

If you know he's yours, you shouldn't stumble over the answer.

You need to know. You don't need to be guessing

how you saved because by the time you figured out,

you might be in hell. And so if you are saved,

God has given you a mission. And what are you

gonna do about that mission? Because every one of us

in this building, every one of you that's listening, if

you are saved, washed in the blood of the Lamb,

you got a mission to help evangelize the world. Because

when you read in the tenth chapter of Matthew, he

called twelve and he gave them power against unclean spirits

and to cast out devils and to preach the Kingdom

of God has come near thee. And then in the

tenth chapter Luke he appointed seventy more and said, I

want you to go before me. I mean, go out

into every city where I would later come and finally

in the sixteenth chapter of Mark, he has gone from

the twelfth twelve and gone from the seventy. And now

he's telling all the believers to go into all the

world and preach the Gospel. And he that believes it

shall be saved, and he that don't shall be condemned.

And these signs shall follow them that that believe in

my name, and shall cast out devils. And some of

you been saved a long time and still need the

devil cast out of you. And you should be casking

him out of everybody else but Jesus. Before he got

ready to go back to the throne room, he said,

wait a minute. That's what he told the disciples. Wait,

he told that the twelfth disciples. I want you, the

first of all, go back to Jerusalem and received the

gift of the Holy Ghost. And in Acts one in

eight say you shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost.

It's come up on you. But a lot of us

stopped right there after the power has come upon you. Oh,

I got the Holy Goal, So I got power to

speak in tongue. So what I got power to dance?

I got power to praise God. But that ain't the

power we're talking about, hey man, somebody. He gave them

the authority to heal the sick and cast out devils

in Matthew chapter ten and Luke chapter ten, before they

ever got the Holy Ghost. They had the power to

do this before they ever got the Holy Ghost. You

don't believe it. Send the Bible chapter ten. Remember he

sent the twelve out. He sent the twelve out in

chapter ten. But when he was getting to when he

got ready to as sind to heaven, he told him

go and wait for the Holy Ghost. So I mean

they ain't had a holy gost when he sent him out.

He equipped them before they ever got the Holy Ghost,

because you got power over the devil when you first

get saved, because you get baptized with the Holy Ghost.

There's a baptism when you get saved, when you truly saved,

if you saved it all. And the power he was

giving them was witnessing power. We don't use it. We

want to tell everybody about the Lord that we know

already gold in the Temple of God. That's not the mission,

this part of it. But there ain't it. He send

them out to speak to the loss of the world.

We scared to talk to sinners about Jesus, embarrassed of

our own mission. Embarrassed. I've seen it too many times.

I know what I'm talking about. I've been out there

talking to people and with folks claiming to just saying

Jesus Christ. I know y'all heard my story and walk off.

I even heard folks say, there go again, yeah, and

again and again and again. That's my mission. I be

talking to folks on the phone about something they talking about.

I don't know what they talking about. Sometimes I start

talking about the law. They be trying to get out

the phone in cause they know it's gonna be a

long time. It's gonna be a little while. Now you

get me talking about the law, it's gonna be a

little long. It's gonna be a little while. Now. He

gave him witnessing power from the Holy ghost because we

were not see there's witnessing power from the Holy ghost.

Because see, none of us was there when Jesus hung

on the cross. None of us was there when he

was beating all night long. We wasn't there when they

placed the crown of thorns on his head. We wasn't

there when he died and was buried, and he rose

again on Thursday. None of us was there when all

that happened, hey man, None of us was there when

he got up one day one Sunday morning, as that

Baptist preach all the time. But because of the eye witness,

the Holy Ghost was there. So when I get the

Holy Ghost, I got the eye witness. I got to

see that eyewitness's living inside of me, that should be

living inside of you, and you and you. And when

you got that eyewitness inside of you, you can attest

the witness of Jesus Christ, death, burial, and resurrection, hey man,

because it's not you speaking, but the Holy Ghost speaking

to what he had seen and witness. Aymen see. For

that reason, I can give witness to the rerection of

Jesus Christ. And I can tell angry young folks, because

young folks angry nowadays, super angry, past angry, they demonically angry.

Who always talking about Christians. I was coming out of

the store. I went there to get some a shoe fixed,

a boot fixed. And I was coming out of the

store and these two young men were out there trying

to do something. I was begin to talk to him

about the Lord, and they say, oh, man, you know

we are. You know these churches today they blah blah blah.

See the young folks. The I told you the enemy

after the youth. As we was even ministering in Sunday

school about the young man coming down the road. He

got to get the youth because once he can get

the youth away. You don't see the devil's scheme. If

he can get the youth away from church, the older

folks will grow old and die and the youth won't

come in. Because see, the devil's not stupid, he just ignorant.

I mean, he's not ignorant, he's just stupid vice versa.

He just he's just stupid. He's not agnant. He fare

well knows if he can get all the youth to

stay out of the House of God and the presence

of God and the ones that's in there, he know

one day they gonna grow old and pass away. He know,

he don't know win, but he knows. And he didn't

keep them out, there will be no there will be

no followers a man. So I witness to the youth.

You witness to the youth, because these youths already know.

You know a preacher, they called him the preacher, the

pastor of the pimp, and and and and they got

all kind of and and the women in church churds

theirs their course. They call the calling in him loose

and easy. Gonna give me a church church, that's what

they say. I heard it. Y'all know what I'm talking about.

It like you, you know what this. Y'all been in

this too long not to know what I'm talking about.

You know what I'm talking about doing Lane, And why

that man coming after you? He could he could feel

you As a church girl. I can easy persuade the

church girl. How I got to do? Say God or

something like that to him. No, no, no, that's why

God give us wisdom for the lurkers, the ones lurking

trying to seduce us, and all kinds of things. Even

when I go to my job, they try to seduce me. Yeah,

he's a preacher. He don't give me the low low

price because he a man of God. Ain't gonna charge

me all that money. They trying to seduce me. See

seducing on me, trying to get the person in bed

all the time. And I let him know when I

tell him. God told me to be fervent in business.

They get scared. Then you finish, get the wam wham price, Yeah,

the real price. But you need to eye witness the

Holy ghost. Because the youth are very angry in this day.

They're always talking about Christians and the church and the

preacher that they're not they're not about to go to church.

They're always talking about this. They're always talking about that,

concerning the ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So

that's why you don't go. That's why they say they

don't go to church. But I can tell them that's

not the answer. And it doesn't matter how some of

those for the most part, so called people claiming to

be Christians act and how they live. Jesus died for you, too,

young guy. He died for you on the cross. He

died for your sins, and he hung up there for

your hang ups. All of your sins were nail to

the cross. Your smoking that you're doing is nail to

the cross. That drinking you're doing is nail to the cross.

All that profanity you're doing is now to the cross.

All that cocaine you using and selling was now to

the all that weed you smoking and selling, smoking more

than you selling's new to the cross, and at the

line time you got was nail to the cross. He

was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for iniquities, not just

mine because I'm saved, but yours too, who are sinning

your diseases? Was noil to the cross. Your counsel, your diabetes,

now to the cross. He went there for all of

that for you too. So you talking about what other

people are doing, ain't got nothing to do with when

you doing it. Don't give you no excuse not to

go to the House of God. It don't give you

no excuse not to witness. To folks witness because they

they ain't got nothing to do with you. What they

are with they not. You have a mission to complete

a purpose, witness to the lost soul. You looking at

too much. We should be looking only at the souls

of people. He ain't gonna never change. I ain't. I

ain't nothing I canna tell him. Yeah it is. It's

something that God can tell him. You had it right though.

Ain't nothing you can tell him, But it's something God

can tell him. Because whatever you tell him might not saying,

But what God tell you to tell him may save

his soul. That's your compassion and your purpose. We got

a mission, whether we want it or not. Once you

come into the House of God and come into the

body of Christ, you have a mission to complete a purpose.

Your mission ain't just to come here on Sunday mornings.

Your mission ain't just listening to this radio show or

this television show every Sunday or through the week, and

that's you done with it. No, you listening to that

so that you can grow with the power of witness,

and so you can know what you're talking about when

you come up against them devils. Because when you go

to witness, you gonna come up against the devils. You

could be witnesses of this person. This person here, he

gonna come because the devil gonna send him to mess

you up, all right, But because you got the witness

inside of you, you're gonna mess him up for coming.

I know what I'm talking about. I'm menacing to people,

teaching them. The Muslim comes up, got to talking about

his stuff. Elijah and Mohamed is the one they talking

about that will come with all powers to know it, ain't, sir.

Read the Bible scripture all the way down. He's talking

about the Holy goos. He ain't talking about noing lies. Muhammad,

he got upset. I messed him up, got to talking

about what we eat. I said, well, God wasn't talking

to you and me. He was talking to the Jews,

and you Jew messed him up. Got to give you

wisdom and the witness. The Witness got wisdom. It's the

Holy Ghost. So I want you to know that Jesus

he can straighten your life out and does not matter

how broken up it is. See, that's what you got.

A witness to people. Because some people think they ain't

got no hope. You gotta let them know they got hope.

They don't know. He can straighten out their lives, bring

them out of the gutter. It don't matter how broken

up they are. He can pick them up. He can

pick up all the pieces that's broke up. They think

they broken the Megia. He can pick them all up

and put them together, put their life back together again.

I don't have to tell you about all the people

in the Bible. You ain't got to go telling them

about Matthew, John, Luke, and James. Tell them about you.

You ain't got to be no scholar. Tell them what

God did for you. That's a witness. You ain't got

to go tell him about all that. Well, you see

Moses in Abraham, tell him about your personal experiences and

how he picked you up, because I can tell you

how he picked me up. I was not fit to

live when I was on my way to a devil's hell,

and I didn't have a God on my side. That

he lifted me out of all my mess. So, just

like me, you got something to tell to tell it,

and tell it from this day forward. Make a decree.

You're gonna win souls to Jesus. You got a mission,

whether you accept it or not. A man, you have

a mission, whether you accept it or not. But you're

gonna have to make You're gonna have to make a

decree right now today with yourself because there's not much

witnessing going forward in the direction that the way Jesus

Christ would have us to witness. In the teachings of

Jesus Christ. All they witnessing a whole lot of stuff. Today.

They gonna tell you how to get rich by giving

them all your money so you can be blessed. They witnesses.

They witness and tell you don't miss and if you miss.

Sen in that money. Yeah it's COVID. You can't come

in here, but you can drive by the back door

and drop off your tithes and offer. I'm telling you

about stuff I seen myself and know about. They gonna witness.

Oh yeah, they gonna witness. They gonna tell you, I

ain't seen nobody to get their taxes to bring your

large no money in the church, But the taxes belong

to you, and if you want to bless God off

of it, that's that's something you do. But they trying

to their using seduced seduction to get you to give.

And when you're given in that manner, you're not giving freely. Amen.

There's witnessing going on, but it's not the same witnessing

for the mission that Jesus Christ would have them to

be witnessing for people on the wrong mission. All these

people trying to be pastors on the wrong mission. Why

because they want to be a pastor. Why because they

want to be a pastor because they want to get

that filthy Luca from them people. Hey man, it was

a preacher that used to be in this city, came

back to this city. Y'all know who he is, the

name of Smith came back and had a pastor anniversary

one month when he'd been back anniversary, mean the whole year.

They let everybody know he was after money. He on

the wrong mission, many of them. They want to get

behind this podium to get money. They want to get

behind this podium to get women to get cars and houses.

Wrong mission, not the mission of God. Amen. So, like

Paul said when he spoke to them, I speak to you,

I beseech you there for a brother and the sisters.

Make up your mind from this day forward, make it

a creed. You're going to witness to souls for Jesus.

You got a mission, whether you accept it or not. Amen,

give God a hand clap of prayer. I got to

wear a couple of hats today, but y'all can praise

Him while I'm gone.
