  1. Here's when we are whether whether folks that wanna drink

  2. they wanna struggle with it and be not drunk with wine?

  3. See this verse. See what this verse does. It gives

  4. an example of what it is and what is not

  5. the Lord's will. Are you with me? Mm? This verse

  6. right here talks about what is the Lord's will and

  7. what is not the Lord's will? Really, And all it's

  8. saying is, we ain't supposed to be filled with nothing.

  9. We we we ain't supposed to be filled with smoke, right,

  10. We ain't suppost to be filled with drugs, alcohol. We

  11. ain't sposta be filled with hatred. We ain't supposta be

  12. filled with nothing but the spirit of God. Really, And

  13. when you get filled with the spirit of God, that's

  14. what to do. What not to do is get filled

  15. with all those other things. Right, So this verse gives

  16. us example of what it is and what is not

  17. the Lord's will because Christians are not supposed to be

  18. intoxicated with alcohol beverages. Well, this ain't nothing but a

  19. look cooler. It ain't gonna hurt nobody. Oh, it's gonna

  20. hurt your body. It's gonna hurt your body. Because the

  21. Bible said present your body holy and acceptable into God,

  22. which is your reasonable service. Oh, it's gonna hurt your body.

  23. Might not hurt my body, but it gonna hurt your body.

  24. So when you say it ain't gonna hurt nobody, yeah,

  25. it ain't gonna hurt me. It's gonna hurt you because

  26. it clearly tells us that drunkenness leads to a moral intemperances,

  27. and it is clearly contrary to God's will. See, they

  28. say that brings out your sober thoughts, but that thought

  29. might not be a righteous thought that it brings out.

  30. But the spirit of God gonna bring the right thought

  31. out of you if you feel with the spirit. His

  32. will is that we be filled with Him and with

  33. his spirit, which is his own life, his own character,

  34. his own attributes, Amen, his own virtue. Virtue is excellence.

  35. And when you are filled with his spirit, he controls

  36. our thoughts, our attitude, and our actions. Amen. You you

  37. won't be walking around talking about well that's slip. You

  38. see why slip was You weren't in control of it.

  39. But when you, when you, when he when you feel

  40. with him, he's in control of it. So they gonna slip.

  41. You understand, it's slip because you ain't in control. But

  42. when you when you get filled with him, he's in control.

  43. When you when you get filled with him, he's in control,

  44. and it won't slip because he's in control. So today

  45. we're talking about where will he finds you in this

  46. time because we talked about just the scriptures, the ways

  47. somebody say ways of the believer, the ways of who,

  48. the ways of who. Everybody ain't with me the ways

  49. of who. So if it's talking to w W so

  50. whatever it's saying right now, it's talking about the ways

  51. of the believers. So if you find something in here

  52. that is talking about and you're not in that way,

  53. then there's something wrong with what you're doing. You need

  54. to come on to the ways of the believer. All

  55. all of the ways of the believers, ain't man somebody man? Right?

  56. And so believers they they invest the time that God

  57. give them. They don't waste the time, right hey, man,

  58. cause they see a believer realize and wisdom again, as

  59. we were talking about a Sunday school, will lead you

  60. to understand that you don't have time to waste because

  61. wisdom to let you know it ain't your time. See

  62. God controls time. If you can control time, you can

  63. live as long as you won't. But you don't control time.

  64. God does, cause in new time, it gonna be time

  65. for you to go. We gotta understand, and the time

  66. is one of the most precious things we have. Time

  67. is more valuable than money because you can make more money,

  68. but you can't make more time. I'm gonna make some

  69. more time for your man. You can't make no time.

  70. Time you lost is gone. You can't get it back.

  71. It's over. You can lose ten dollars and make twenty,

  72. but you can't lose five minutes and get ten backs.

  73. I'm just saying I got an awakening about time a

  74. couple of weeks ago. Somebody told me about some time,

  75. and I know that I had wasted that time. I

  76. can't get it back, but what I can do is

  77. take the time that I got now and use it

  78. the right way. You understand what I'm saying. The scripture

  79. tells us to redeem the time. This is what he's

  80. talking about here. That means don't waste it, but make

  81. the most of every opportunity. And that opportunity is exposing

  82. the sins of the loss and being a witness to them,

  83. and because the days are evil, that's why we should

  84. be redeeming the time and making more time, making more

  85. good of the time that we have. There's not one

  86. person in here that does not understand that this country

  87. is in an uproar. This country is in an evil

  88. state a man somebody and folks are fear faulk. Folks

  89. are running with their heads cut off. Folks are doing

  90. whatever they think it's necessary to survive in these times.

  91. And we as the people of God, should be redeemed

  92. in the time and tell them that hope is still

  93. alive in these times and not keeping it to ourselves,

  94. which means that we need to be a witness to them.

  95. That the don't understand the hope that we got. And

  96. that's the reason why we should find ourselves seizing every

  97. opportunity to help lead the loss to Jesus. As Christians,

  98. we must stay focused. The world is throwing everything at everybody.

  99. They're not leaving us out. They're even infiltrating our temple,

  100. our peaceful place, and there are those of us allowing

  101. them in because they want to let be a part

  102. of them instead of us being a part of them.

  103. They find out that they're finding out, a figuring out

  104. in their own wisdom, which is foolish. Is to God.

  105. Look like they're having more fun to us. So let's

  106. play some of this world and music in there, and

  107. let's back it up. Let's back it up and drop

  108. it like it's hot. Uh huh, look at that, because

  109. they having more fun than we are. So now let

  110. us waste the same time they wasted. But we, as Christians,

  111. we need to stay focused and use our time here

  112. on earth to the glory of God, not trying to

  113. do what we think it tastes to draw them in.

  114. For my Bible say, we don't have to think about

  115. what to do to draw them in. He said, if

  116. I've even lift it up, I'll draw all me in

  117. under me. I don't know about your Bible. My Bible

  118. say that, yes, sir, my Bible said, just live right.

  119. He said, I didn't tell you to hang out 'em

  120. hang out with him. Would Jesus hung out with him? No,

  121. they didn't. He didn't hang out with 'em. He hung

  122. amongst them. He there's a difference in hanging amongst somebody

  123. and hanging out with 'em. Ninety nine point nine nine

  124. nine times if you hang out with somebody, you gonna

  125. wind up doing what they doing. But when you hang

  126. amongst them, you have the opportunity to witness to them

  127. about how they hanging out right cause he hung up

  128. for your hang up. This is only for the believers. This,

  129. this is only for the believers, understand. And y'all listening

  130. to me over the airways, but but you can listen

  131. to We are to be glorifying God with the time

  132. that we have, and people are to be able to

  133. see the glory of God on our life. There are

  134. so there are people who are walking around don't believe

  135. they have no hope. Now, people walking around believing they

  136. can't do no better, so they keep doing what they doing.

  137. Because the church, I ain't talking about this building. I

  138. because the church is a body is wasting time, man,

  139. And don't even realize the reason why is because we

  140. are not always going to be here. And this day

  141. today is a gift from God. That's why they call

  142. it the present. It's a gift, hey man. So are

  143. we living the gift to the fullness and to that

  144. which you are called to do. We're called to be witnesses.

  145. Everybody's sitting on their hands in the church. And I

  146. ain't talking about this building. I'm talking about the body

  147. sitting on their hands, wasting time, just doing whatever comes along.

  148. That's what's wrong with the body now. They just doing

  149. whatever come along. Now, whatever is gonna please the people

  150. and keep them coming and keep my pockets fat and

  151. keep me looking good. I'm doing whatever I need to do. Now.

  152. You don't do whatever you need to do. You do

  153. whatever God tell you to do, and what you were

  154. told to do. You don't change that. You keep on

  155. redeeming the time and witnessing to the people the gospel

  156. of Jesus Christ, instead of wasting time trying to entertain

  157. them when they come up in health and trying to

  158. please them so they can talk good of you, that

  159. you entertain them like you one of those entertainers. Are you, Beyonce?

  160. Somebody which is a heathen? By the way, So you

  161. rather follow a center than God? People of God. I'm

  162. talking to the people of God. The heathen gonna follow

  163. they own the Bible, say they they they love, they own.

  164. They gonna treat their own right. It's disturbing that the

  165. heathens treat they people better than the saints treat they people.

  166. As a matter of fact, I've seen the seats Saints

  167. treat a heathen better than the Saints. Some wrong with

  168. their pictures. You're wasting time. You're wasting time, and you're distracted.

  169. Ay man, You're doing whatever comes along, which causes you

  170. to be distracted, which causes you to lose focus on

  171. what your purpose and mission is from God. Some of

  172. you are just in jobs. You can't you you in

  173. a job, job you don't even like, and you don't

  174. have a focus because you're in a job you don't like.

  175. Hey man, somebody, you're hanging out with people who are

  176. pulling you down. It ain't got enough wisdom from God

  177. to see it going oops every now and then. You

  178. know why you're going oops because bad communication corrupts good habits,

  179. and you just slipped off and did something you know

  180. you ain't used to normally do. Because you're hanging out

  181. with the wrong folk. I don't care if you can

  182. to them, they're still the wrong folk folk. The folks.

  183. It ain't no black, white, ain't no Japanese Chinese. To God,

  184. it's just folks. And all folks do the same thing

  185. other folks do. Chinese living the projects Whites living to projects,

  186. Negroes living a project, Koreans living a project projects wasn't

  187. just for one person. I want people Negroes still, white,

  188. folks still Chinese, still Japanese. Still ain't no difference. You're

  189. wasting time with all that kind of thinking instead of

  190. redeeming the time. I'm gonna give it to my brother.

  191. Who's your brother? Who's your brother? Saints? Now? I know

  192. who your brother is, world, but who's your brother saints?

  193. Who's your brother saints? Who's your sister? I know who's

  194. the heathen called they brother and they sister? But who's

  195. your brother? Are you wasting time with folks that ain't

  196. gonna never turn around? Heathens? You wasting time? You kicking

  197. it with them, but you ain't telling them about Jesus.

  198. You're wasting time, and time ain't on your side because

  199. He is soon to come. He controls time. He soon

  200. to come. How you get distracted by Facebook and Twitter?

  201. Are you just distracted by all the texting you do all day?

  202. Can't wait till get to your phone? I left my

  203. phone at home the other day. While I was leaving

  204. my phone, my wife said, you know you need your fone,

  205. So I don't need my phone. I drove on off.

  206. Turning my thing off. The phone is demonic. It has

  207. become demonic the people. And if you want to talk

  208. about wasting some time, that phone got you covered. That

  209. phone got you covers a whole lot of folks. They

  210. can't look up for the phone. Folks driving a car

  211. can't look up. I believe the person that ran into

  212. my brother when I was out of town at close

  213. to a hundred something miles an hour, was in his phone,

  214. because when my brother got out of his car and

  215. got to the van he was driving, he was on

  216. the phone. Still on the phone is the phone. Your

  217. distraction is the phone, your means of wasting all this time,

  218. and you get the phone more time you get Jesus,

  219. they don't lie to yourself. You on the phone more

  220. than you read the Bible. And you ain't reading the

  221. Bible on the phone. You either watching something on the

  222. phone you ain't got no business watching, texting somebody you

  223. ain't got no business texting, and all this stuff. You

  224. don't even realize how deceitful it is and how much

  225. time you've wasted. Because the devil is not just wicked,

  226. he's deceitfully wicked, got you tied up in that phone,

  227. and you don't even realize it's messing with your spirit.

  228. When you're wasting time, it messes with your spirit cause

  229. your spirit ain't lying up where it's supposed to be. Amen, somebody.

  230. Your spirit is not redeeming the time that it's supposed

  231. to be doing. You on a mission to complete a

  232. purpose and it came from God. And when you're wasting time,

  233. you're not redeeming what God calls you to do. Amen, somebody.

  234. And when you on all of this mess, you're not

  235. redeeming the time. That's wasting time. And all the time

  236. you waste it, you can't get back. And you must

  237. understand and always be focused on the fact that the

  238. days that we living in are a witness so that

  239. we are in the end of it all. So the

  240. saints need to stay focused and redeeming the time that

  241. we have. Don't you have the compassion of Jesus Christ

  242. said he live in you, So you ought to be

  243. redeeming the time by speaking to the loss of this world,

  244. who are lost and any sin you want to get

  245. On Facebook, you got a hundred thousand people following you.

  246. How many of you done told about Jesus. How many

  247. of you don't send a scripture to you? Donne send

  248. some kind of nice saying to him, roses are red,

  249. violence of blue. But send him something that will entertain

  250. Jesus Christ instead of you. You you got a means

  251. to do a greater thing than Jesus did. He ain't

  252. have Facebook, he didn't have a million followers subscribe to me,

  253. that on with that YouTube, so that subscribe to me

  254. and tounch something I don't know. And so I'm trying

  255. to make a hundred thousand followers for a bunch of

  256. jump TikTok. Yeah, TikTok's right. The clock is ticking tocking,

  257. it's running out. And why tiktoking? You wasting time?

  258. Yes, sir, I'm talking to you, but I ain't innocent

  259. of it.

  260. Don't look up for me. I hear some of your mind. Eh.

  261. You gotta bet you waste time too. I show you, Yeah,

  262. I waste time, but I'm mindful of the fact that

  263. I've wasted some time. My face ain't always in their farm.

  264. My face ain't always my face ain't never on Facebook

  265. and TikTok and all none of that kind of stuff.

  266. But that don't mean there were other means of time

  267. that I waste. I may waste time joking around, being foolish.

  268. Sometimes it's applible and sometimes it's not. A man, somebody,

  269. we must understand that time we don't get back time.

  270. We got to understand how valuable time is. When you

  271. waste it, you don't get it back. People, you don't.

  272. You get to look back, but you don't get it back.

  273. Hey man, you get to look back, but you don't

  274. get it back. You don't get to be thirteen, sixteen, eighteen,

  275. twenty one, twenty five. Again, it's over. It's over, and

  276. a lot of us look back and say, who man, girl, Man,

  277. I wish I could do that all over again, But

  278. you can't. You don't get a do over. You could

  279. never get the time back you wasted. Just look like

  280. you may never get the chance to do it again.

  281. You can do it again, but you don't get the

  282. time back that you wasted. Hey man, you won't get

  283. back the time you wasted, just like you may never

  284. get the chance to witness to a person. You know

  285. you should have told them about Jesus when you were

  286. standing there talking about nothing. All that time. You've been

  287. standing there fifteen twenty minutes talking about nothing, and you

  288. knew that person don't live for God, and there's nothing

  289. that you could have been talking about that. They could

  290. not have left you to tell them about him. No

  291. matter what the conversation you was having, you could have

  292. still redeemed the time. They could have been saying, look,

  293. yesterday I got a fat X package. Man, I've been

  294. waiting on that package and so and then you could

  295. have just stepped in there and look at God. He

  296. sent it right on time, didn't you? Oh no, you

  297. said what was it? What looked like? How many did

  298. you get? Let me see where you ordered that from.

  299. They don't know nothing about Jesus. You could have took

  300. that time and told him about the law. One of

  301. your work workers to walk up to. Man, you see

  302. the game last night, brother Mary, Man, you say, had

  303. that boy? I did that three sixty and nunk? Yeah?

  304. Look at all that talent God gave that maiden. Whooa

  305. God equipped him with all that to do what he did?

  306. Why did it? No? Yeah, man, that was a beautiful boy.

  307. I wish I could do that. Tell him about Jesus.

  308. They can't have a conversation with you. I don't here

  309. what they talking about. They can tell you about Jesus.

  310. They can come up to you and tell you, girl,

  311. I was with that man last night. He had my

  312. eyes rolled in the back of my head. Girl, Was

  313. he your husband? Because the Lord said, you ain't supposed

  314. to be No man, ain't your husband? What you doing

  315. a funny cake? Now? God, what what you doing? Well,

  316. he's somebody else's husband. They can't have no conversation. You

  317. can't redeem the time with him. You can't have nothing none.

  318. They gonna be talking about brother Gun. You still can

  319. redeem the time and tell him about the Lord. But

  320. we rather listen to them and talk about what they

  321. talking about, which is nothing, knowing that he's soon to come.

  322. That's why Paul said in Ephesian, see then that you

  323. walk circumspectly, are carefully, not as a fool, but as

  324. wise redeem the time because the days are evil. Wherefore

  325. be he not unwise but understanding what the will of

  326. the Lord is, because he is soon to come. So

  327. the question is are you investing his time? Cause he

  328. the one gave it to you, like he is soon

  329. to come. See, every day we u we wake up

  330. in the every day we're going say Lord, I thank

  331. you who gave me another day to get it right

  332. to live, holy to s to witness of somebody, and

  333. you then destroy everything. So let me take the time

  334. and redeem this time. I'm not telling you gonn you

  335. need to be robotic man. God know you live in

  336. a a a a physical world as well. But in

  337. some time you need to tell somebody about Jesus a man.

  338. I'm not telling you to be all up in the

  339. movie theater. As soon as you see the man uh

  340. tricking another man with his wife. Now he ain't talking.

  341. You just stood up. Now that ain't clad it ain't

  342. hold it right there. I ain't telling you do all that. Yeah,

  343. if they put you out, I ain't telling you what.

  344. Folks walk up to you to speak to you, hey man,

  345. and you know they ain't say, hey, brother man, how

  346. you doing? Shot nothing nothing of the old shot of

  347. it on who shot? Glory of God? Now say how

  348. you doing? I ain't tell you be crazy. I just said,

  349. redeem the time when the time is redeemable, hey man.

  350. Somebody like he's soon to come. But you But are

  351. you wasting the time like you have all the time

  352. in the world. People tell you that at the time.

  353. Do they tell you that? No, they tell you that's

  354. the least girl. You got all the time in the

  355. world to get that done. Now you don't cause you

  356. ain't in control of time. So you ain't got all

  357. the time in the world. Told you the story about

  358. the young man who the old head has told him

  359. he had all the time in the world, and his

  360. friend or his associate, who was the same age of him,

  361. got shot in the street. And I said, well, if

  362. he didn't have all the time in the world, what

  363. make you think you do? He mustn't have all the

  364. time in the world. He's the same as you because

  365. his time was up at nineteen twenty. Uh huh, his

  366. time was up at nineteen and twenty years old. It

  367. was up and yo, and you about nineteen twenty. And

  368. what makes you think you got all the time? And

  369. you the same age as him? You might not have

  370. him to the ma. You might drop about it here

  371. when I walk away from you. You ain't got all

  372. the time in the world. Don't ever let nobody tell

  373. you that you only got the time God give you.

  374. And while you got it, redeem it. Don't waste it

  375. walking around some people walking around personally like they know,

  376. I know when my boy coming back. Yeah, See, I

  377. got all the time in the world. I'm gonna go

  378. to the I'm gonna go here, I'm gonna go down.

  379. And then when I feel like I'm on and when

  380. I feel like I know he coming about what Tuesday

  381. at about three o'clock, I'm gonna get on my knees

  382. and pray. You don't ask the Lord to forgive me,

  383. you know, because I know he coming. Now you don't

  384. know that. And if you did know that, your repentance

  385. may not be pure just because you know he coming.

  386. Because you know he coming, you repenting that ain't pure,

  387. That ain't pure. You ain't gonna make it like that.

  388. That's why that's why no man know the day or

  389. the hour, because if you did know it, you're acting

  390. fool up until the time and forget about God's house.

  391. That's over. If you know when he's coming, you're gonna

  392. try to run up in air as soon as you

  393. think he's coming. After you don't waste it all that time,

  394. and you're gonna run up in and think you were

  395. deeming something. The devil is a liar, just like you.

  396. It ain't gonna happen. Your heart ain't gonna be right,

  397. your heart gonna be scared. So you don't have all

  398. the time in the world. You don't have a personal

  399. you don't have personal information on when he So you

  400. need to be redeeming the time because you can rest

  401. assure you don't know when he's coming. But what you

  402. can't be sure off is he is coming. He's coming.

  403. He ain't coming to no no Rose, Ross are hunder

  404. He's coming on a cloud, the best ride. So we

  405. gotta stay focused church. We can't be caught up in

  406. the world's things. We gotta stay focused. I don't care

  407. how much fun it look like. They haven't. The Bible said, yeah,

  408. they having fun. Brother God is some wives. He lets

  409. you know they having fun. He says seeing is pleasurable.

  410. For a season, they having fun, but it's end. Results

  411. is hell bound. If you don't repent, don't be led

  412. to help. Lets some let somebody follow you to heaven.

  413. You with somebody wasting time. They ain't good for you.

  414. They ain't good for you. Gotta stay focused. Can't be

  415. called up in what they doing, can't be called up

  416. in those things we can't be caught up and all

  417. kinds of mess that has no value. We have to

  418. stay focused because Jesus is coming back soon. You see.

  419. I've inspired to tell you church that He is soon

  420. to come because on my journey this last week, I've

  421. watched folks walk away from God. And the sad thing

  422. about it, some of the folks that I saw that

  423. once was with him, if they really was with him,

  424. That's what I always say. We are saved if you

  425. stay saved. If he ever was saved, is I saw

  426. him not in the same position they was in when

  427. I saw him last. And the heart fat thing about it,

  428. they were my family then and walked away for the

  429. pleasures of this world. Now they wasting time, and he

  430. soon to come. I was inspired by God to give

  431. this message to the church today because you can't be

  432. wasting time. He is soon to come. I also made

  433. a stop on my way to where I was going,

  434. which was eighty something miles away. I made a stopped

  435. there because somebody I know had a heart attack. He

  436. could have died and went to Hell because he wasn't saved,

  437. but somebody saw him. You know, they wasn't nothber God

  438. nobody was home. Somebody saw him outside walking their dog

  439. called the people and they came and got him, took

  440. him to the hospital. I made a stop because he

  441. had heart surgery, so I went to the hospital to

  442. see him. They were praying before he went to surgery.

  443. I prayed because I know that just wasn't being heard

  444. because they ain't say, funny, how we just think we

  445. can talk to God cause something detrimentalism happened in our life.

  446. It was like God doesn't change his mind about not

  447. hearing the saint the prayers of the center. Funny, ain't it?

  448. He's funny, man, That's kind of funny. End they don't

  449. quickly pray for it. They having the dilemma they gonna

  450. pray when the Bible say they don't hear the prayers

  451. of the sympom. That's the word. I ain't trying to

  452. be mean. I prayed for him. I pray for him

  453. for other women because I knew what happened to him

  454. forfore I left here. And when I got there, he

  455. he had everything they probably had in the hospital hook

  456. to him. Every you didn't seen all that stuff had

  457. him hooked, all kinds of stuff. I'm sitting there talking

  458. to him every other words for family. I said, brother,

  459. Oh yeah, after you gone praise, surgery went after you praise,

  460. surgery went well, and you still wasting time? Why you

  461. still wasting time? You just had a h a open

  462. heart surgery. Oh that wasn't enough for him. I'm sitting

  463. there talking to him. I'm telling him about the Lord.

  464. You need you couldn't run him. I done told him, brother,

  465. you need to couldn't run him all this stuff that

  466. you didn't have. You done have had more serge than

  467. the doctor than did surgeries. You done had knee surgery,

  468. full back survey. Now you having heart surgery. You have

  469. some other kind of surgery. Now you're gonna have another surgery.

  470. Cause I called the other day to say how he

  471. was doing in the hospital. He fell out the bed,

  472. busted a vessel in his eye, something, uh, bust his

  473. nose or something else. Do you need to cut running

  474. so you can get under the cab and the protection

  475. of the Lord Jesus Christ. I can't talk to him. He he,

  476. he said, do you watch the basketball game? Man? I

  477. don't talk You been no a basketball game. I'm talking

  478. to you about you need to give your life to God,

  479. I wanna talk to you about no basketball game. He won't

  480. talk about basketball game. I said, I don't really watch

  481. basketball games like that. I said, for what I do

  482. watching Jesus, i'ma tell you something, Douy. You've been running

  483. a long time. God been trying to get your attention.

  484. You ain't paying attention. You wasting time, And i'm'a tell

  485. you something. This might be your last time him trying

  486. to get your attention, cause after a while he'll he'll

  487. give you over to your foolishness. That's why we gotta

  488. stay focused them people need us. We can't be wasting time.

  489. We can't be found wasting time. When he comes back.

  490. We got to be doing what he says to do.

  491. We can't be doing like he said when I come back.

  492. If you on the roof, stay there. If you over

  493. Susie House and your wife ain't married, stay there, huh.

  494. If you over Jenny House and your husband named jen A,

  495. stay out. Huh. If you in the liquor store with

  496. the fifth in your hand, don't put it back, keep it,

  497. stay there. If you got the weed in your math

  498. of the cocaine and the pipe, stay dout, cause when

  499. I come back. Time's out and you're gonna be right

  500. where you are. It's where you're gonna be. It's over.

  501. You don't waste the time. It's over faith. That's why

  502. we got to redeem the time. Because if he wasn't coming,

  503. come on now. But I'm telling you he is coming.

  504. But if he wasn't coming, you could get away with

  505. all of that mess and do whatever you wanted to

  506. do and waste all the time you wanted to waste.

  507. But you can't. You know why, because he's coming. He's

  508. coming back, and he's coming back soon. He may even

  509. let you get away. He may even let you get

  510. bad with some things like he does, but he don't

  511. never let you get away. You hear what I'm saying.

  512. He may let you get get bad with something, but

  513. you never get away. You may fool some of the

  514. people some of the time, but you ain't gonna fool

  515. all the people all the time. And for the rest

  516. are sure, you're not gonna fool him none of the time,

  517. none of the time. And sometimes sometimes people think they

  518. have because he sometimes will have a long delay on

  519. his return. You understand what I'm saying, But I'm telling

  520. you the day is coming. You see, that's why you

  521. can't be wasting time. You have to stay ready. See,

  522. sometimes because he delays the time. What you're talking about

  523. a preaching glad you ass When you're in your mess,

  524. you think you're you think you the slickest of the slicksters.

  525. And you done got away with everything you think you

  526. can get away with, and trying to get away with

  527. some more. Oh, you ain't got away, You just got

  528. byed and he's just delayed. But when he comes and

  529. you hadn't repented, you gonna have hell to pay literally. Amen.

  530. Some folk think they got it all figured out. When

  531. he comes. You know, the it's gonna be a bomb.

  532. It's gonna go off. Everybody's gonna be killed. That ain't scripture.

  533. And nothing's gonna be running around on this herb of bugs. No,

  534. they gonna die too. Aymen, ain't not gonna be running

  535. around when he comes, because the dead in Christ is

  536. gonna go up first and the living gonna get caught up. Amen.

  537. And this whole system of things is going back to

  538. the beginning like God intended for it to be. And

  539. I intend to be there, I said, I intend to

  540. be there. And man, I'm gonna be part of the weed.

  541. Now you're hearing me, I'll tell you what it is

  542. gonna be like. It's gonna be like right now, that's

  543. what it's gonna be like. When he comes, you're gonna

  544. have folks running around doing all sorts of evil like

  545. they're doing now. You're gonna have the church folks, church

  546. folks still playing church folk games in church. In the

  547. body of Christ and Jesus spoke of what would be

  548. happening in the earth. He said, in one place, two

  549. will be sleeping, hey man, in a bed. One will

  550. be taking and the other left behind. So if one

  551. is sleeping, one left behind, that's speaking of night time.

  552. If they're sleeping, amen, somebody. And then he said, on

  553. the other side of the world, two would be plowing

  554. the field. That gonna speak about daytime, ay man, One

  555. will be taken and another left behind. So if you

  556. think he gonna start in the west like the sun,

  557. I mean in the east like the sun, and go

  558. to the west, they ain't gonna happy, Captain. It's gonna

  559. happen simultaneously all over the world at one time, So

  560. you ain't gonna high time to get it right. If

  561. you're wasting time. Hey man, Oh, he in ease right now,

  562. I'm gonna go over here. Get it right, sis, listen,

  563. please forgive me, please forgive me now. Uh. It's simultaneous

  564. in the day and the night, wherever are you at.

  565. That's the reason why you gotta choose the right company,

  566. because if you both want to be caught up together,

  567. both of you better know Jesus, I said, both of

  568. you better know Jesus. One won't be left behind. You

  569. might not go up at the same time, and you

  570. might go up at the same time. I don't know

  571. how the gonna go up. All I know is he said,

  572. you're gonna be caught up. Amen. You better know when

  573. he comes. The Bible says he shall descend from heaven

  574. with a shout h with the voice of an arch angel,

  575. and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in

  576. Christ shall rise first. Yeah. Could talking about like, oh yeah,

  577. brother Manthew even gone to heaven. No he ain't. And

  578. if he ain't live, right, he show ain't Amen, Because

  579. the Bible said the dead in Christ is gonna rise

  580. up first, and the living gonna be caught up. Amen.

  581. But there's gonna be a shout.

  582. Like an arch angel with the trumpet of God. So

  583. for all of us, you see, you see praises.

  584. Praises is supposed to be like the trumpet life. You

  585. understand what I'm saying. Jesus gonna shot like a trumpet

  586. of God. It's the word, and man, it's the word.

  587. But there's there's all kinds of people who don't like

  588. to make a noise for Jesus. But on that day,

  589. on that day, Jesus gonna shout, and Jesus is gonna

  590. he gonna start off the shouting. And if you getting

  591. caught up, you're gonna need to shout too. Hey man,

  592. I don't know if you be able to shout. I know,

  593. once you get where you're going, you're gonna give him glory.

  594. Then you're gonna shout. I don't know if you're gonna

  595. shout while you're being caught up, But if you can

  596. shout while you're being caught up, your body as well.

  597. Give it in, get it in, hey man. Say he

  598. gonna leave heaven with a shout. And when Jesus shouts,

  599. the trumpet of God will sound. And when the trumpets sound,

  600. the dead bodies will be coming up out of the ground.

  601. I almost like Jesus saying, wake God, time to go,

  602. Wake God. All of you that died in my name,

  603. gonna shout, time to go. Let's row. The rest of

  604. y'all fall, leaving man that lived for me. Maybe that's

  605. where he gonna be shot. I don't know, but I

  606. know when he do, them dead bodies gonna get up.

  607. They gonna praise him, and them live bodies gonna be

  608. caught up. And when we getting that great when we

  609. get that great and that great day, rather, we're gonna

  610. have a great meeting in the air. See as the

  611. as the dead in Christ go up, you're alive, gonna

  612. be caught up, the Bible says, in the air. And

  613. we're gonna have a great meeting in the air, a

  614. shouting and a praising as we go up in the air.

  615. You don't hear what I'm saying. We're gonna be shouting

  616. in the air. We're gonna be talking about Jesus Christ

  617. is come. We're gonna be praising him. We gonna be

  618. dancing talking about the praise. Dam we're gonna need that

  619. new body on this praise day. We're gonna wear that

  620. on without But I have to give you the other

  621. side of this man. You gotta give you the other side.

  622. You gotta do it. But oh, if you don't know him,

  623. if you don't know him, when he comes, you're gonna

  624. be running, trying to find a place to hide.

  625. And see they said he gonna try to hide under

  626. the rocks. But see, I I believe this, this hiding

  627. is that when he comes, it is not so physical

  628. as you tryna hide under the rock.

  629. Because God knows all things. You know, you you know

  630. where you're gonna be. You gonna be trying to hide

  631. them sins. See, you gonna be running, tryna hide them sings.

  632. Youin't gonna be to hide them sins. That's why Gee said,

  633. if you on top of the roof, stayed there, if

  634. you don't sue his house in your name, your wife name,

  635. Baddy Looke, stay stay right down. That's saying you ain't

  636. gonna be to hide him. He come looking for a

  637. place to hide. Co'a looking for a hiding place. Mm

  638. And your hiding place is gonna be revealed when he comes.

  639. You not gonna be able to hide. Your hiding place

  640. gonna be revealed. But the Bible says, then the we

  641. and I don't know about you, but I'm gonna be

  642. a part of wee yeah, amen, which our lives and

  643. remains shall be caught up together with them in the

  644. cloud to meet the Lord in the air. I'm gonna

  645. be in the air, caught up with them that will

  646. died in Christ. I'm gonna be with them in the air.

  647. And so shall we ever be with the Lord. So

  648. you see, and I hope you do see. We won't

  649. have to worry about our spirit coming down, and we

  650. won't have to worry about our bodies going up, cause

  651. if we are already alive, you will be changed in

  652. the moment, in the twinkling of an hour, You're gonna

  743. it was put here so we can understand time. But

  744. God don't live in time. He lives in eternity. Hey man, somebody,
