Here's when we are whether whether folks that wanna drink
-
they wanna struggle with it and be not drunk with wine?
-
See this verse. See what this verse does. It gives
-
an example of what it is and what is not
-
the Lord's will. Are you with me? Mm? This verse
-
right here talks about what is the Lord's will and
-
what is not the Lord's will? Really, And all it's
-
saying is, we ain't supposed to be filled with nothing.
-
We we we ain't supposed to be filled with smoke, right,
-
We ain't suppost to be filled with drugs, alcohol. We
-
ain't sposta be filled with hatred. We ain't supposta be
-
filled with nothing but the spirit of God. Really, And
-
when you get filled with the spirit of God, that's
-
what to do. What not to do is get filled
-
with all those other things. Right, So this verse gives
-
us example of what it is and what is not
-
the Lord's will because Christians are not supposed to be
-
intoxicated with alcohol beverages. Well, this ain't nothing but a
-
look cooler. It ain't gonna hurt nobody. Oh, it's gonna
-
hurt your body. It's gonna hurt your body. Because the
-
Bible said present your body holy and acceptable into God,
-
which is your reasonable service. Oh, it's gonna hurt your body.
-
Might not hurt my body, but it gonna hurt your body.
-
So when you say it ain't gonna hurt nobody, yeah,
-
it ain't gonna hurt me. It's gonna hurt you because
-
it clearly tells us that drunkenness leads to a moral intemperances,
-
and it is clearly contrary to God's will. See, they
-
say that brings out your sober thoughts, but that thought
-
might not be a righteous thought that it brings out.
-
But the spirit of God gonna bring the right thought
-
out of you if you feel with the spirit. His
-
will is that we be filled with Him and with
-
his spirit, which is his own life, his own character,
-
his own attributes, Amen, his own virtue. Virtue is excellence.
-
And when you are filled with his spirit, he controls
-
our thoughts, our attitude, and our actions. Amen. You you
-
won't be walking around talking about well that's slip. You
-
see why slip was You weren't in control of it.
-
But when you, when you, when he when you feel
-
with him, he's in control of it. So they gonna slip.
-
You understand, it's slip because you ain't in control. But
-
when you when you get filled with him, he's in control.
-
When you when you get filled with him, he's in control,
-
and it won't slip because he's in control. So today
-
we're talking about where will he finds you in this
-
time because we talked about just the scriptures, the ways
-
somebody say ways of the believer, the ways of who,
-
the ways of who. Everybody ain't with me the ways
-
of who. So if it's talking to w W so
-
whatever it's saying right now, it's talking about the ways
-
of the believers. So if you find something in here
-
that is talking about and you're not in that way,
-
then there's something wrong with what you're doing. You need
-
to come on to the ways of the believer. All
-
all of the ways of the believers, ain't man somebody man? Right?
-
And so believers they they invest the time that God
-
give them. They don't waste the time, right hey, man,
-
cause they see a believer realize and wisdom again, as
-
we were talking about a Sunday school, will lead you
-
to understand that you don't have time to waste because
-
wisdom to let you know it ain't your time. See
-
God controls time. If you can control time, you can
-
live as long as you won't. But you don't control time.
-
God does, cause in new time, it gonna be time
-
for you to go. We gotta understand, and the time
-
is one of the most precious things we have. Time
-
is more valuable than money because you can make more money,
-
but you can't make more time. I'm gonna make some
-
more time for your man. You can't make no time.
-
Time you lost is gone. You can't get it back.
-
It's over. You can lose ten dollars and make twenty,
-
but you can't lose five minutes and get ten backs.
-
I'm just saying I got an awakening about time a
-
couple of weeks ago. Somebody told me about some time,
-
and I know that I had wasted that time. I
-
can't get it back, but what I can do is
-
take the time that I got now and use it
-
the right way. You understand what I'm saying. The scripture
-
tells us to redeem the time. This is what he's
-
talking about here. That means don't waste it, but make
-
the most of every opportunity. And that opportunity is exposing
-
the sins of the loss and being a witness to them,
-
and because the days are evil, that's why we should
-
be redeeming the time and making more time, making more
-
good of the time that we have. There's not one
-
person in here that does not understand that this country
-
is in an uproar. This country is in an evil
-
state a man somebody and folks are fear faulk. Folks
-
are running with their heads cut off. Folks are doing
-
whatever they think it's necessary to survive in these times.
-
And we as the people of God, should be redeemed
-
in the time and tell them that hope is still
-
alive in these times and not keeping it to ourselves,
-
which means that we need to be a witness to them.
-
That the don't understand the hope that we got. And
-
that's the reason why we should find ourselves seizing every
-
opportunity to help lead the loss to Jesus. As Christians,
-
we must stay focused. The world is throwing everything at everybody.
-
They're not leaving us out. They're even infiltrating our temple,
-
our peaceful place, and there are those of us allowing
-
them in because they want to let be a part
-
of them instead of us being a part of them.
-
They find out that they're finding out, a figuring out
-
in their own wisdom, which is foolish. Is to God.
-
Look like they're having more fun to us. So let's
-
play some of this world and music in there, and
-
let's back it up. Let's back it up and drop
-
it like it's hot. Uh huh, look at that, because
-
they having more fun than we are. So now let
-
us waste the same time they wasted. But we, as Christians,
-
we need to stay focused and use our time here
-
on earth to the glory of God, not trying to
-
do what we think it tastes to draw them in.
-
For my Bible say, we don't have to think about
-
what to do to draw them in. He said, if
-
I've even lift it up, I'll draw all me in
-
under me. I don't know about your Bible. My Bible
-
say that, yes, sir, my Bible said, just live right.
-
He said, I didn't tell you to hang out 'em
-
hang out with him. Would Jesus hung out with him? No,
-
they didn't. He didn't hang out with 'em. He hung
-
amongst them. He there's a difference in hanging amongst somebody
-
and hanging out with 'em. Ninety nine point nine nine
-
nine times if you hang out with somebody, you gonna
-
wind up doing what they doing. But when you hang
-
amongst them, you have the opportunity to witness to them
-
about how they hanging out right cause he hung up
-
for your hang up. This is only for the believers. This,
-
this is only for the believers, understand. And y'all listening
-
to me over the airways, but but you can listen
-
to We are to be glorifying God with the time
-
that we have, and people are to be able to
-
see the glory of God on our life. There are
-
so there are people who are walking around don't believe
-
they have no hope. Now, people walking around believing they
-
can't do no better, so they keep doing what they doing.
-
Because the church, I ain't talking about this building. I
-
because the church is a body is wasting time, man,
-
And don't even realize the reason why is because we
-
are not always going to be here. And this day
-
today is a gift from God. That's why they call
-
it the present. It's a gift, hey man. So are
-
we living the gift to the fullness and to that
-
which you are called to do. We're called to be witnesses.
-
Everybody's sitting on their hands in the church. And I
-
ain't talking about this building. I'm talking about the body
-
sitting on their hands, wasting time, just doing whatever comes along.
-
That's what's wrong with the body now. They just doing
-
whatever come along. Now, whatever is gonna please the people
-
and keep them coming and keep my pockets fat and
-
keep me looking good. I'm doing whatever I need to do. Now.
-
You don't do whatever you need to do. You do
-
whatever God tell you to do, and what you were
-
told to do. You don't change that. You keep on
-
redeeming the time and witnessing to the people the gospel
-
of Jesus Christ, instead of wasting time trying to entertain
-
them when they come up in health and trying to
-
please them so they can talk good of you, that
-
you entertain them like you one of those entertainers. Are you, Beyonce?
-
Somebody which is a heathen? By the way, So you
-
rather follow a center than God? People of God. I'm
-
talking to the people of God. The heathen gonna follow
-
they own the Bible, say they they they love, they own.
-
They gonna treat their own right. It's disturbing that the
-
heathens treat they people better than the saints treat they people.
-
As a matter of fact, I've seen the seats Saints
-
treat a heathen better than the Saints. Some wrong with
-
their pictures. You're wasting time. You're wasting time, and you're distracted.
-
Ay man, You're doing whatever comes along, which causes you
-
to be distracted, which causes you to lose focus on
-
what your purpose and mission is from God. Some of
-
you are just in jobs. You can't you you in
-
a job, job you don't even like, and you don't
-
have a focus because you're in a job you don't like.
-
Hey man, somebody, you're hanging out with people who are
-
pulling you down. It ain't got enough wisdom from God
-
to see it going oops every now and then. You
-
know why you're going oops because bad communication corrupts good habits,
-
and you just slipped off and did something you know
-
you ain't used to normally do. Because you're hanging out
-
with the wrong folk. I don't care if you can
-
to them, they're still the wrong folk folk. The folks.
-
It ain't no black, white, ain't no Japanese Chinese. To God,
-
it's just folks. And all folks do the same thing
-
other folks do. Chinese living the projects Whites living to projects,
-
Negroes living a project, Koreans living a project projects wasn't
-
just for one person. I want people Negroes still, white,
-
folks still Chinese, still Japanese. Still ain't no difference. You're
-
wasting time with all that kind of thinking instead of
-
redeeming the time. I'm gonna give it to my brother.
-
Who's your brother? Who's your brother? Saints? Now? I know
-
who your brother is, world, but who's your brother saints?
-
Who's your brother saints? Who's your sister? I know who's
-
the heathen called they brother and they sister? But who's
-
your brother? Are you wasting time with folks that ain't
-
gonna never turn around? Heathens? You wasting time? You kicking
-
it with them, but you ain't telling them about Jesus.
-
You're wasting time, and time ain't on your side because
-
He is soon to come. He controls time. He soon
-
to come. How you get distracted by Facebook and Twitter?
-
Are you just distracted by all the texting you do all day?
-
Can't wait till get to your phone? I left my
-
phone at home the other day. While I was leaving
-
my phone, my wife said, you know you need your fone,
-
So I don't need my phone. I drove on off.
-
Turning my thing off. The phone is demonic. It has
-
become demonic the people. And if you want to talk
-
about wasting some time, that phone got you covered. That
-
phone got you covers a whole lot of folks. They
-
can't look up for the phone. Folks driving a car
-
can't look up. I believe the person that ran into
-
my brother when I was out of town at close
-
to a hundred something miles an hour, was in his phone,
-
because when my brother got out of his car and
-
got to the van he was driving, he was on
-
the phone. Still on the phone is the phone. Your
-
distraction is the phone, your means of wasting all this time,
-
and you get the phone more time you get Jesus,
-
they don't lie to yourself. You on the phone more
-
than you read the Bible. And you ain't reading the
-
Bible on the phone. You either watching something on the
-
phone you ain't got no business watching, texting somebody you
-
ain't got no business texting, and all this stuff. You
-
don't even realize how deceitful it is and how much
-
time you've wasted. Because the devil is not just wicked,
-
he's deceitfully wicked, got you tied up in that phone,
-
and you don't even realize it's messing with your spirit.
-
When you're wasting time, it messes with your spirit cause
-
your spirit ain't lying up where it's supposed to be. Amen, somebody.
-
Your spirit is not redeeming the time that it's supposed
-
to be doing. You on a mission to complete a
-
purpose and it came from God. And when you're wasting time,
-
you're not redeeming what God calls you to do. Amen, somebody.
-
And when you on all of this mess, you're not
-
redeeming the time. That's wasting time. And all the time
-
you waste it, you can't get back. And you must
-
understand and always be focused on the fact that the
-
days that we living in are a witness so that
-
we are in the end of it all. So the
-
saints need to stay focused and redeeming the time that
-
we have. Don't you have the compassion of Jesus Christ
-
said he live in you, So you ought to be
-
redeeming the time by speaking to the loss of this world,
-
who are lost and any sin you want to get
-
On Facebook, you got a hundred thousand people following you.
-
How many of you done told about Jesus. How many
-
of you don't send a scripture to you? Donne send
-
some kind of nice saying to him, roses are red,
-
violence of blue. But send him something that will entertain
-
Jesus Christ instead of you. You you got a means
-
to do a greater thing than Jesus did. He ain't
-
have Facebook, he didn't have a million followers subscribe to me,
-
that on with that YouTube, so that subscribe to me
-
and tounch something I don't know. And so I'm trying
-
to make a hundred thousand followers for a bunch of
-
jump TikTok. Yeah, TikTok's right. The clock is ticking tocking,
-
it's running out. And why tiktoking? You wasting time?
-
Yes, sir, I'm talking to you, but I ain't innocent
-
of it.
-
Don't look up for me. I hear some of your mind. Eh.
-
You gotta bet you waste time too. I show you, Yeah,
-
I waste time, but I'm mindful of the fact that
-
I've wasted some time. My face ain't always in their farm.
-
My face ain't always my face ain't never on Facebook
-
and TikTok and all none of that kind of stuff.
-
But that don't mean there were other means of time
-
that I waste. I may waste time joking around, being foolish.
-
Sometimes it's applible and sometimes it's not. A man, somebody,
-
we must understand that time we don't get back time.
-
We got to understand how valuable time is. When you
-
waste it, you don't get it back. People, you don't.
-
You get to look back, but you don't get it back.
-
Hey man, you get to look back, but you don't
-
get it back. You don't get to be thirteen, sixteen, eighteen,
-
twenty one, twenty five. Again, it's over. It's over, and
-
a lot of us look back and say, who man, girl, Man,
-
I wish I could do that all over again, But
-
you can't. You don't get a do over. You could
-
never get the time back you wasted. Just look like
-
you may never get the chance to do it again.
-
You can do it again, but you don't get the
-
time back that you wasted. Hey man, you won't get
-
back the time you wasted, just like you may never
-
get the chance to witness to a person. You know
-
you should have told them about Jesus when you were
-
standing there talking about nothing. All that time. You've been
-
standing there fifteen twenty minutes talking about nothing, and you
-
knew that person don't live for God, and there's nothing
-
that you could have been talking about that. They could
-
not have left you to tell them about him. No
-
matter what the conversation you was having, you could have
-
still redeemed the time. They could have been saying, look,
-
yesterday I got a fat X package. Man, I've been
-
waiting on that package and so and then you could
-
have just stepped in there and look at God. He
-
sent it right on time, didn't you? Oh no, you
-
said what was it? What looked like? How many did
-
you get? Let me see where you ordered that from.
-
They don't know nothing about Jesus. You could have took
-
that time and told him about the law. One of
-
your work workers to walk up to. Man, you see
-
the game last night, brother Mary, Man, you say, had
-
that boy? I did that three sixty and nunk? Yeah?
-
Look at all that talent God gave that maiden. Whooa
-
God equipped him with all that to do what he did?
-
Why did it? No? Yeah, man, that was a beautiful boy.
-
I wish I could do that. Tell him about Jesus.
-
They can't have a conversation with you. I don't here
-
what they talking about. They can tell you about Jesus.
-
They can come up to you and tell you, girl,
-
I was with that man last night. He had my
-
eyes rolled in the back of my head. Girl, Was
-
he your husband? Because the Lord said, you ain't supposed
-
to be No man, ain't your husband? What you doing
-
a funny cake? Now? God, what what you doing? Well,
-
he's somebody else's husband. They can't have no conversation. You
-
can't redeem the time with him. You can't have nothing none.
-
They gonna be talking about brother Gun. You still can
-
redeem the time and tell him about the Lord. But
-
we rather listen to them and talk about what they
-
talking about, which is nothing, knowing that he's soon to come.
-
That's why Paul said in Ephesian, see then that you
-
walk circumspectly, are carefully, not as a fool, but as
-
wise redeem the time because the days are evil. Wherefore
-
be he not unwise but understanding what the will of
-
the Lord is, because he is soon to come. So
-
the question is are you investing his time? Cause he
-
the one gave it to you, like he is soon
-
to come. See, every day we u we wake up
-
in the every day we're going say Lord, I thank
-
you who gave me another day to get it right
-
to live, holy to s to witness of somebody, and
-
you then destroy everything. So let me take the time
-
and redeem this time. I'm not telling you gonn you
-
need to be robotic man. God know you live in
-
a a a a physical world as well. But in
-
some time you need to tell somebody about Jesus a man.
-
I'm not telling you to be all up in the
-
movie theater. As soon as you see the man uh
-
tricking another man with his wife. Now he ain't talking.
-
You just stood up. Now that ain't clad it ain't
-
hold it right there. I ain't telling you do all that. Yeah,
-
if they put you out, I ain't telling you what.
-
Folks walk up to you to speak to you, hey man,
-
and you know they ain't say, hey, brother man, how
-
you doing? Shot nothing nothing of the old shot of
-
it on who shot? Glory of God? Now say how
-
you doing? I ain't tell you be crazy. I just said,
-
redeem the time when the time is redeemable, hey man.
-
Somebody like he's soon to come. But you But are
-
you wasting the time like you have all the time
-
in the world. People tell you that at the time.
-
Do they tell you that? No, they tell you that's
-
the least girl. You got all the time in the
-
world to get that done. Now you don't cause you
-
ain't in control of time. So you ain't got all
-
the time in the world. Told you the story about
-
the young man who the old head has told him
-
he had all the time in the world, and his
-
friend or his associate, who was the same age of him,
-
got shot in the street. And I said, well, if
-
he didn't have all the time in the world, what
-
make you think you do? He mustn't have all the
-
time in the world. He's the same as you because
-
his time was up at nineteen twenty. Uh huh, his
-
time was up at nineteen and twenty years old. It
-
was up and yo, and you about nineteen twenty. And
-
what makes you think you got all the time? And
-
you the same age as him? You might not have
-
him to the ma. You might drop about it here
-
when I walk away from you. You ain't got all
-
the time in the world. Don't ever let nobody tell
-
you that you only got the time God give you.
-
And while you got it, redeem it. Don't waste it
-
walking around some people walking around personally like they know,
-
I know when my boy coming back. Yeah, See, I
-
got all the time in the world. I'm gonna go
-
to the I'm gonna go here, I'm gonna go down.
-
And then when I feel like I'm on and when
-
I feel like I know he coming about what Tuesday
-
at about three o'clock, I'm gonna get on my knees
-
and pray. You don't ask the Lord to forgive me,
-
you know, because I know he coming. Now you don't
-
know that. And if you did know that, your repentance
-
may not be pure just because you know he coming.
-
Because you know he coming, you repenting that ain't pure,
-
That ain't pure. You ain't gonna make it like that.
-
That's why that's why no man know the day or
-
the hour, because if you did know it, you're acting
-
fool up until the time and forget about God's house.
-
That's over. If you know when he's coming, you're gonna
-
try to run up in air as soon as you
-
think he's coming. After you don't waste it all that time,
-
and you're gonna run up in and think you were
-
deeming something. The devil is a liar, just like you.
-
It ain't gonna happen. Your heart ain't gonna be right,
-
your heart gonna be scared. So you don't have all
-
the time in the world. You don't have a personal
-
you don't have personal information on when he So you
-
need to be redeeming the time because you can rest
-
assure you don't know when he's coming. But what you
-
can't be sure off is he is coming. He's coming.
-
He ain't coming to no no Rose, Ross are hunder
-
He's coming on a cloud, the best ride. So we
-
gotta stay focused church. We can't be caught up in
-
the world's things. We gotta stay focused. I don't care
-
how much fun it look like. They haven't. The Bible said, yeah,
-
they having fun. Brother God is some wives. He lets
-
you know they having fun. He says seeing is pleasurable.
-
For a season, they having fun, but it's end. Results
-
is hell bound. If you don't repent, don't be led
-
to help. Lets some let somebody follow you to heaven.
-
You with somebody wasting time. They ain't good for you.
-
They ain't good for you. Gotta stay focused. Can't be
-
called up in what they doing, can't be called up
-
in those things we can't be caught up and all
-
kinds of mess that has no value. We have to
-
stay focused because Jesus is coming back soon. You see.
-
I've inspired to tell you church that He is soon
-
to come because on my journey this last week, I've
-
watched folks walk away from God. And the sad thing
-
about it, some of the folks that I saw that
-
once was with him, if they really was with him,
-
That's what I always say. We are saved if you
-
stay saved. If he ever was saved, is I saw
-
him not in the same position they was in when
-
I saw him last. And the heart fat thing about it,
-
they were my family then and walked away for the
-
pleasures of this world. Now they wasting time, and he
-
soon to come. I was inspired by God to give
-
this message to the church today because you can't be
-
wasting time. He is soon to come. I also made
-
a stop on my way to where I was going,
-
which was eighty something miles away. I made a stopped
-
there because somebody I know had a heart attack. He
-
could have died and went to Hell because he wasn't saved,
-
but somebody saw him. You know, they wasn't nothber God
-
nobody was home. Somebody saw him outside walking their dog
-
called the people and they came and got him, took
-
him to the hospital. I made a stop because he
-
had heart surgery, so I went to the hospital to
-
see him. They were praying before he went to surgery.
-
I prayed because I know that just wasn't being heard
-
because they ain't say, funny, how we just think we
-
can talk to God cause something detrimentalism happened in our life.
-
It was like God doesn't change his mind about not
-
hearing the saint the prayers of the center. Funny, ain't it?
-
He's funny, man, That's kind of funny. End they don't
-
quickly pray for it. They having the dilemma they gonna
-
pray when the Bible say they don't hear the prayers
-
of the sympom. That's the word. I ain't trying to
-
be mean. I prayed for him. I pray for him
-
for other women because I knew what happened to him
-
forfore I left here. And when I got there, he
-
he had everything they probably had in the hospital hook
-
to him. Every you didn't seen all that stuff had
-
him hooked, all kinds of stuff. I'm sitting there talking
-
to him every other words for family. I said, brother,
-
Oh yeah, after you gone praise, surgery went after you praise,
-
surgery went well, and you still wasting time? Why you
-
still wasting time? You just had a h a open
-
heart surgery. Oh that wasn't enough for him. I'm sitting
-
there talking to him. I'm telling him about the Lord.
-
You need you couldn't run him. I done told him, brother,
-

-
you didn't have. You done have had more serge than
-
the doctor than did surgeries. You done had knee surgery,
-
full back survey. Now you having heart surgery. You have
-
some other kind of surgery. Now you're gonna have another surgery.
-
Cause I called the other day to say how he
-
was doing in the hospital. He fell out the bed,
-
busted a vessel in his eye, something, uh, bust his
-
nose or something else. Do you need to cut running
-
so you can get under the cab and the protection
-
of the Lord Jesus Christ. I can't talk to him. He he,
-
he said, do you watch the basketball game? Man? I
-
don't talk You been no a basketball game. I'm talking
-
to you about you need to give your life to God,
-
I wanna talk to you about no basketball game. He won't
-
talk about basketball game. I said, I don't really watch
-
basketball games like that. I said, for what I do
-
watching Jesus, i'ma tell you something, Douy. You've been running
-
a long time. God been trying to get your attention.
-
You ain't paying attention. You wasting time, And i'm'a tell
-
you something. This might be your last time him trying
-
to get your attention, cause after a while he'll he'll
-
give you over to your foolishness. That's why we gotta
-
stay focused them people need us. We can't be wasting time.
-
We can't be found wasting time. When he comes back.
-
We got to be doing what he says to do.
-
We can't be doing like he said when I come back.
-
If you on the roof, stay there. If you over
-
Susie House and your wife ain't married, stay there, huh.
-
If you over Jenny House and your husband named jen A,
-
stay out. Huh. If you in the liquor store with
-
the fifth in your hand, don't put it back, keep it,
-
stay there. If you got the weed in your math
-
of the cocaine and the pipe, stay dout, cause when
-
I come back. Time's out and you're gonna be right
-
where you are. It's where you're gonna be. It's over.
-
You don't waste the time. It's over faith. That's why
-
we got to redeem the time. Because if he wasn't coming,
-
come on now. But I'm telling you he is coming.
-
But if he wasn't coming, you could get away with
-
all of that mess and do whatever you wanted to
-
do and waste all the time you wanted to waste.
-
But you can't. You know why, because he's coming. He's
-
coming back, and he's coming back soon. He may even
-
let you get away. He may even let you get
-
bad with some things like he does, but he don't
-
never let you get away. You hear what I'm saying.
-
He may let you get get bad with something, but
-
you never get away. You may fool some of the
-
people some of the time, but you ain't gonna fool
-
all the people all the time. And for the rest
-
are sure, you're not gonna fool him none of the time,
-
none of the time. And sometimes sometimes people think they
-
have because he sometimes will have a long delay on
-
his return. You understand what I'm saying, But I'm telling
-
you the day is coming. You see, that's why you
-
can't be wasting time. You have to stay ready. See,
-
sometimes because he delays the time. What you're talking about
-
a preaching glad you ass When you're in your mess,
-
you think you're you think you the slickest of the slicksters.
-
And you done got away with everything you think you
-
can get away with, and trying to get away with
-
some more. Oh, you ain't got away, You just got
-
byed and he's just delayed. But when he comes and
-
you hadn't repented, you gonna have hell to pay literally. Amen.
-
Some folk think they got it all figured out. When
-
he comes. You know, the it's gonna be a bomb.
-
It's gonna go off. Everybody's gonna be killed. That ain't scripture.
-
And nothing's gonna be running around on this herb of bugs. No,
-
they gonna die too. Aymen, ain't not gonna be running
-
around when he comes, because the dead in Christ is
-
gonna go up first and the living gonna get caught up. Amen.
-
And this whole system of things is going back to
-
the beginning like God intended for it to be. And
-
I intend to be there, I said, I intend to
-
be there. And man, I'm gonna be part of the weed.
-
Now you're hearing me, I'll tell you what it is
-
gonna be like. It's gonna be like right now, that's
-
what it's gonna be like. When he comes, you're gonna
-
have folks running around doing all sorts of evil like
-
they're doing now. You're gonna have the church folks, church
-
folks still playing church folk games in church. In the
-
body of Christ and Jesus spoke of what would be
-
happening in the earth. He said, in one place, two
-
will be sleeping, hey man, in a bed. One will
-
be taking and the other left behind. So if one
-
is sleeping, one left behind, that's speaking of night time.
-
If they're sleeping, amen, somebody. And then he said, on
-
the other side of the world, two would be plowing
-
the field. That gonna speak about daytime, ay man, One
-
will be taken and another left behind. So if you
-
think he gonna start in the west like the sun,
-
I mean in the east like the sun, and go
-
to the west, they ain't gonna happy, Captain. It's gonna
-
happen simultaneously all over the world at one time, So
-
you ain't gonna high time to get it right. If
-
you're wasting time. Hey man, Oh, he in ease right now,
-
I'm gonna go over here. Get it right, sis, listen,
-
please forgive me, please forgive me now. Uh. It's simultaneous
-
in the day and the night, wherever are you at.
-
That's the reason why you gotta choose the right company,
-
because if you both want to be caught up together,
-
both of you better know Jesus, I said, both of
-
you better know Jesus. One won't be left behind. You
-
might not go up at the same time, and you
-
might go up at the same time. I don't know
-
how the gonna go up. All I know is he said,
-
you're gonna be caught up. Amen. You better know when
-
he comes. The Bible says he shall descend from heaven
-
with a shout h with the voice of an arch angel,
-
and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in
-
Christ shall rise first. Yeah. Could talking about like, oh yeah,
-
brother Manthew even gone to heaven. No he ain't. And
-
if he ain't live, right, he show ain't Amen, Because
-
the Bible said the dead in Christ is gonna rise
-
up first, and the living gonna be caught up. Amen.
-
But there's gonna be a shout.
-
Like an arch angel with the trumpet of God. So
-
for all of us, you see, you see praises.
-
Praises is supposed to be like the trumpet life. You
-
understand what I'm saying. Jesus gonna shot like a trumpet
-
of God. It's the word, and man, it's the word.
-
But there's there's all kinds of people who don't like
-
to make a noise for Jesus. But on that day,
-
on that day, Jesus gonna shout, and Jesus is gonna
-
he gonna start off the shouting. And if you getting
-
caught up, you're gonna need to shout too. Hey man,
-
I don't know if you be able to shout. I know,
-
once you get where you're going, you're gonna give him glory.
-
Then you're gonna shout. I don't know if you're gonna
-
shout while you're being caught up, But if you can
-
shout while you're being caught up, your body as well.
-
Give it in, get it in, hey man. Say he
-
gonna leave heaven with a shout. And when Jesus shouts,
-
the trumpet of God will sound. And when the trumpets sound,
-
the dead bodies will be coming up out of the ground.
-
I almost like Jesus saying, wake God, time to go,
-
Wake God. All of you that died in my name,
-
gonna shout, time to go. Let's row. The rest of
-
y'all fall, leaving man that lived for me. Maybe that's
-
where he gonna be shot. I don't know, but I
-
know when he do, them dead bodies gonna get up.
-
They gonna praise him, and them live bodies gonna be
-
caught up. And when we getting that great when we
-
get that great and that great day, rather, we're gonna
-
have a great meeting in the air. See as the
-
as the dead in Christ go up, you're alive, gonna
-
be caught up, the Bible says, in the air. And
-
we're gonna have a great meeting in the air, a
-
shouting and a praising as we go up in the air.
-
You don't hear what I'm saying. We're gonna be shouting
-
in the air. We're gonna be talking about Jesus Christ
-
is come. We're gonna be praising him. We gonna be
-
dancing talking about the praise. Dam we're gonna need that
-
new body on this praise day. We're gonna wear that
-
on without But I have to give you the other
-
side of this man. You gotta give you the other side.
-
You gotta do it. But oh, if you don't know him,
-
if you don't know him, when he comes, you're gonna
-
be running, trying to find a place to hide.
-
And see they said he gonna try to hide under
-
the rocks. But see, I I believe this, this hiding
-
is that when he comes, it is not so physical
-
as you tryna hide under the rock.
-
Because God knows all things. You know, you you know
-
where you're gonna be. You gonna be trying to hide
-
them sins. See, you gonna be running, tryna hide them sings.
-
Youin't gonna be to hide them sins. That's why Gee said,
-
if you on top of the roof, stayed there, if
-
you don't sue his house in your name, your wife name,
-
Baddy Looke, stay stay right down. That's saying you ain't
-
gonna be to hide him. He come looking for a
-
place to hide. Co'a looking for a hiding place. Mm
-
And your hiding place is gonna be revealed when he comes.
-
You not gonna be able to hide. Your hiding place
-
gonna be revealed. But the Bible says, then the we
-
and I don't know about you, but I'm gonna be
-
a part of wee yeah, amen, which our lives and
-
remains shall be caught up together with them in the
-
cloud to meet the Lord in the air. I'm gonna
-
be in the air, caught up with them that will
-
died in Christ. I'm gonna be with them in the air.
-
And so shall we ever be with the Lord. So
-
you see, and I hope you do see. We won't
-
have to worry about our spirit coming down, and we
-
won't have to worry about our bodies going up, cause
-
if we are already alive, you will be changed in
-
the moment, in the twinkling of an hour, You're gonna
-
be changed, transformed before you can twinkle or blink your eye.
-
You ain't got to worry about none of the hey man,
-
without go listen, listen, I love this part. Without going
-
by the way of the grave, you don't hear what
-
I'm saying. Without going by the way of the grave,
-
you are our bodies. Where we change, our natural bodies
-
will become spiritual bodies in the twinkling of an eye.
-
Missing the way of the graves, uh huh. We not
-
gonna go by the way of the grave. Our natural
-
bodies gonna become spiritual bodies, and the bodies that in
-
our spiritual bodies. Our natural bodies may not have had
-

-

-
didn't waste time. I redeemed the time, and I got
-
that spiritual body that that that physical body was jacked up.
-
It't like to wear it sometimes it it things look
-
bleary to us. Sometimes my eyesight gonna be clear, so clear,

-

-
of'em dead in that. You know, I don't know the number,

-
it was put here so we can understand time. But
-
God don't live in time. He lives in eternity. Hey man, somebody,
-
he gave us the time, so we can't waste it.
