  115. a dirty player and he's not prejudiced to who he

  116. turns to evil. He'll tell you anybody, but God will

  117. only take those that want to do right before me

  118. and live right. Stay in prayer, and I'm praying that

  119. God would turn you right when the enemy would try

  120. to turn you left. You need to get in a Bible,

  121. Sunday school based ministry and a preacher that's preaching truth

  122. and not entertainment and not your pockets. One that's here

  123. for the souls of God people that he was called for.

  124. I'm not campaigning. I'm telling you get in one, whether

  125. it be here or wherever. But when you do, make

  126. sure you ask God. Am I in the right place?

  127. Make sure you in the right place. A whole lot

  128. of people in the wrong place. I don't mention a

  129. whole lot of names of a whole lot of folks

  130. I know and d and although you know too that

  131. they don't care nothing about your soul. They just cared

  132. about your pocket. And they want these pews to stay

  133. full because they want they pockets to stay full. It

  134. ain't about you, It's about them. And it's been proven.

  135. I asked a young lady. She goes to a megature.

  136. I said, Uh, when the last time you walked up

  137. and talked to the past? Oh? No, he he kind

  138. of you know? Uh do you know you? Do you

  139. know his phone number? She said, no, I don't know.

  140. It's fun you don't know its phone number. I said,

  141. everybody in my church know my phone number. Am I

  142. supposed to be like Jesus? Am I supposed to be

  143. like Jesus. One of the part one of the One

  144. of the parts of being like Jesus being accessible. You

  145. got to be accessible. I don't care where you live,

  146. living behind them gates in the big can't nobody get

  147. tell you? Oh, make an appointment. I ain't seen nobody

  148. making no appointment with Jesus. I ain't see the lady

  149. with the issue of blood. Say, can I get an

  150. appointment because I've been believing for twelve long years and

  151. I need an apartment so I can talk to you.

  152. I didn't see blind Bartimaeus make an appointment. Once he asked,

  153. who is it that this crowd is praising over. It's Jesus, Oh, Jesus,

  154. Jesus of Nazareth, by son of David. Jesus. I need you.

  155. He didn't make no appointment, y'all got it twisted? You

  156. not imparting at all. Jesus is the reason. Well, let

  157. me pray. Father, I want to thank you for another day.

  158. Thank you for these heir temples in your house. We

  159. thank your God even for this Synagonu. We thank you

  160. you for this temple that we allowed to come in

  161. worship here. And we thank you God that you, who

  162. are so holy, allowed little o us to come in

  163. such a holy God's presence. Thank you God. It's such

  164. an honor and a privileged god to be before you

  165. Lord today. It's an honor. It's a privilege that you

  166. even woke us up this morning and allowed us to

  167. get up with our minds stayed on you. We know

  168. that the world out here is chasing Easter bunnies and

  169. the eggs right now, but we know God that they're

  170. desecrating the very death bearing resurrection of you, our Lord

  171. and Savior. But God, you always got around in the

  172. bush upholding your righteousness and your truth. And we want

  173. to thank Your God for a mind to be right

  174. before you. Lord. In the name of Jesus, we want

  175. to thank you Lord that not only did you wake

  176. us up this morning in our right mind, but you

  177. allowed us to get up. God. We know God, there

  178. somen that didn't wake up. We know God, there are

  179. some that woke up that couldn't get up. But you

  180. blessed us. God. Thank your God. And we use the

  181. activities of our limbs to dress ourselves, to drive ourselves

  182. and to walk up in your house. God. And since

  183. we're here today, God, we gonna praise you, we gonna

  184. glorify you. We're gonna give you the honor. Let no

  185. flesh glory in your presence. God, for you are the

  186. only audience in the house. We thank your God. We

  187. will glorify you. Hallelujah. You are the one and only God.

  188. Now I know other God besides you, None besides you God.

  189. We didn't have to make you God. You already was God.

  190. And there's many making their own selves God. But we

  191. didn't have to make you. You already God. That's why

  192. we know you real, and that's why we know you

  193. the only true, in living God. And we come today

  194. heal word from your Lord, a word that will help

  195. us in this walk. Help us, Holy Spirit, teach through me.

  196. Use me work these lips of clay, this tongue you

  197. made in the name of Jesus. For your glory and

  198. your righteousness. My flesh shall not glory in your presence, none,

  199. whether it be any here today, but you get the

  200. glory in the hoymor and praise God. Help me today,

  201. Holy Spirit, help me to teach your word and preach

  202. your word and open up the eyes and ears of

  203. your people, bring them into the like God, so many

  204. preachers today. And I know that your responsibility God, and

  205. I know you already know it. But I'm praying today, God,

  206. that you even touched they minds to turn it around,

  207. that I deceive in your people God, in the name

  208. of Jesus, because it's not your will that any of

  209. us should be lost, any of us should perish, but

  210. all shall receive the truth of salvation. It is my prayer.

  211. Look upon this government, Look upon our wicked president. Look

  212. upon the demons that directed him in every way that's

  213. pushing him to the left, the right, and up and down.

  214. God help him. God, in the name of Jesus, help

  215. this government. God, turn them around. God. But have your way, God,

  216. have your way, and your will be done. In Jesus

  217. Holy imprecious name. We rebuke every enemy that tries to

  218. come against this message. We rebuke every devil, every demon

  219. and Satan. The Lord rebuke you. Now, God, fill this

  220. house continually with your spirit, and every temple that abides

  221. in this house. Feel it now to overflowing that no

  222. evil can get in. And in all I get in today. God,

  223. let us get an understanding. And it's in Jesus name,

  224. I prayer, and the church say, Amen, Amen and amen.

  225. If you will turn with me to the Book of

  226. John sat John and the twelfth verse, Saint John, and

  227. the twelfth chapter, Saint John and the twelfth chapter, and

  228. we're gonna start at the twentieth verse. I was wondering

  229. what God was gonna get me. He just gave it

  230. to me right now, thank you, Lord. And the Bible

  231. says in verse twenty of Saint John, chapter twelve. And

  232. there were certain Greeks among them that came up to

  233. worship at the feast. The same came therefore to Philip,

  234. which was about Cheetah of Galilee, and desired him, saying, sir,

  235. we would see Jesus. Philip cometh and tell it Andrew,

  236. and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. And Jesus answered them, saying,

  237. the hour is come that the son of man should

  238. be glorified. The hour has come that the son of

  239. man should be glorified. Now, when we think about it

  240. being glorified, our mind don't come to what Jesus talking about.

  241. And he says, very rarely I say unto you, except

  242. a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die

  243. it abided alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth

  244. much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it,

  245. and he that hated his life in this world shall

  246. keep it until life eternal. Y'all get that in this life,

  247. if any man serve me, let him follow me. If

  248. any man serves me, let him follow me. If any

  249. man serve me, let him follow me. And where I

  250. am there shall also my servant be if any man

  251. serve me him. Will my father honor? Now? This is

  252. my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father? Save

  253. me from this hour? But somebody say, but for this

  254. cause came I until this hour? Can you save me

  255. for it? But I know this hour was the reason

  256. why I came. So Father, glorify thy name. Go ahead

  257. and do what you gotta do God, and get the glory.

  258. Then came their a voice from heaven, saying I have

  259. both glorified it and will glorify it again. The people

  260. therefore that stood by and heard it said that it

  261. funded up. Others said an angel spoke to him. See,

  262. when God ain't talking to you, all you hear is

  263. a bunch of noise. But when he's talking to you,

  264. then you hear it. And his children always hear his voice.

  265. But the other they can't understand it. That's why they

  266. heard thunder when others heard when he was actually speaking.

  267. Jesus answered and said, in verse thirty, this voice came

  268. not because of me, but for your sakes. Now is

  269. judgment of this world. Now he's speaking futuristic right now. Now,

  270. shall the prince of this world be cast out? The

  271. rule of this world? And I and I if I

  272. be lifted up, if I be lifted up, he ain't

  273. talking about how we lift him up from the earth

  274. will draw all men unto me. And this he said,

  275. signifying what death he should die. Can you say, man,

  276. he man, you may be seated in the house of

  277. the Lord. Jesus said, now now means at the crucifixion,

  278. not when he is bound before the millennium, when he

  279. is cast into the lake of fire. It was at

  280. the cross when Jesus was lifted up that Satan lost

  281. all power. He didn't, he said, now, which means when

  282. I be crucified, I'm taking over dominion. Now comes back

  283. to me that I gave to humanity, and humanity gave

  284. to the devil by the first Adam, a man, somebody,

  285. you see. The devil had power because of Adam one.

  286. But when Atom two at the cross, gave up all power,

  287. gave all power back to us. You know, Jesus, the

  288. Bible said, he got up with all power, not some power,

  289. not a little bit of this and a little that,

  290. Dad of do, but all power. So see, Jesus, I

  291. don't want to blow your mind. When Jesus before the crucifixion,

  292. he didn't really have power. Wait a minute, He he

  293. did because he healed this one and delivered. He had

  294. no power. The Bible says he got up with all power.

  295. So if he got up with all power, that means

  296. he didn't have the power. What he had was faith

  297. in the Father and believed in truth to know and

  298. obedience to God. See when you got obedience to God

  299. and you believe in him and you trust in him,

  300. that's power all bad self. So if Jesus got up

  301. with all power, see, I got to question this thing.

  302. It's the least I already know where I'm going. I

  303. can tell when people know where I'm going, and people

  304. can tell when I know when where they're going. But but,

  305. but but if he got up with all power, this

  306. is sea live moment for all y'all and those that

  307. are listening over the airwaves. If he got up with

  308. all power, yeah's crashed my head. And when you got saved,

  309. Jesus came into you. Let me let me, let let

  310. let me, let me look at this. If Jesus got

  311. up with all power. If that be the case, then

  312. we today should be operating with the power of Jesus

  313. that works on the inside of us. See see see

  314. the reason why a whole lot of saints of God

  315. are not operating in it because they don't know what

  316. it is, and they're still operating in the flesh instead

  317. of the spirit. You see, I know you see these

  318. pews in him, and I know you see these chandeliers

  319. and everything that's in here. When you leave here, you

  320. see everything out there, but that stuff don't really exist.

  321. We live in a spiritual world that saints of God huh,

  322. faith in the subs of things hoped for, in the

  323. evidence of things not seen. So in saying that when

  324. we begin to walk like God caused us to walk,

  325. he called us to walk in the spirit, not in

  326. the flesh. And when you walk in the spirit, you

  327. recognize you have died and He's living in you. I know,

  328. we say a whole lot of stuff. Oh, I must decrease,

  329. that he increased. Well why are you still increasing and

  330. he ain't increased yet? Why I still see you and

  331. I don't see Jesus. Since you decreasing and he's increasing,

  332. Why you still got a problem loving folks, forgiving folks.

  333. When you said, he live in you, and he don't

  334. have no problem for giving folks. And if he don't

  335. have no problem loving folks, So if you got a problem,

  336. he ain't living in you, something wrong with your walk.

  337. And if he's living in you, let's get back to

  338. the power. Then you got the power to love and forgive.

  339. It's somebody with me. Well let me move on, let

  340. me move on. Now. Jesus goes on to say, if

  341. I'll be lifted up, Well, let's understand what Jesus was saying.

  342. What Jesus was saying is different than I lifted him up.

  343. See I understanding means it is in its application when

  344. we said were lifting up Jesus, But when Jesus said it,

  345. it is in his direct form. What are you saying, preacher, Well,

  346. I don't know, but I'm gonna tell you what's being saved.

  347. There are many applications of the scriptures, but only one

  348. direct meaning. Hey man, there are many applications, but there's

  349. only one direct meaning you can read out of the

  350. Bible amplified the King James, the New King James. But

  351. there ain't but one meaning. See, that's what people get

  352. confused talking about well that's your opinion. Well I don't

  353. have an opinion, and I'm not gonna give you an

  354. opinion because my opinion don't mean nothing. If I can't

  355. tell you what this say, I ain't telling you what's right.

  356. I can make up something to make you feel good.

  357. When you're talking about you a man, and you love

  358. that man, I can tell you something. I'm gonna tell

  359. you what God says about. See, I don't have to

  360. be twisted all up and and frightened and trying to

  361. say something that don't mess everybody up. I just don't

  362. tell you what God said. You got a problem with it,

  363. tell go to God. I ain't got nothing to do

  364. with it. I'm just the youth here setor express for

  365. the Lord. All I get it would bring you your package.

  366. You got a problem with your package, go to the source.

  367. So if you ask me, because I got the truth

  368. in me, which is Jesus Christ, I'm gonna tell you

  369. what's wrong with you man, and you man, and you

  370. woman and you woman. I'm gonna tell you God said

  371. you an abomination. I said God said you an abomination. See,

  372. the preachers ain't got no problem telling you God said,

  373. there's twenty people out there with one hundred dollars gonna

  374. get in line. But they ain't gonna tell you God

  375. said you an abomination. No, no, they gonna get on

  376. TV and say when I don't see anything wrong with

  377. as long as they love each other, God I want, says,

  378. shut up and tell the truth. You can't show me

  379. that in the Bible. But what I can show you

  380. in the Bible is when a man lay with another

  381. man like a woman, he's an abomination. And that's the

  382. truth from here to glow. You nasty, God said your bomination,

  383. which means you are detestable to God. A word abomination

  384. means detestable.

  385. No, God ain't made no no mistakes because he's perfect.

  386. Hey man, He's perfect and he don't need nobody opinion.

  387. So there are some applications of the scripture that man

  388. mix up. But Jesus Christ only had one direct form

  389. of the scriptures. See, we are saying we lift him

  390. up by giving him praiers, lift up year praise him.

  391. Or we may lift him up by the way we

  392. live holy before him, are before others, letting our lights

  393. so shine. Hey man. But when Jesus talked about lifting

  394. him up. He gave a direct meaning about it, and

  395. that had nothing to do with the way we apply

  396. it ourselves. But his direct interpretation, he was talking about

  397. being lifted up on the cross. He was talking about

  398. being crucified. He was talking about being crucified, not by

  399. you giving it and praise and glory, but his crucifixion

  400. brought about praise and glory. And man, somebody, you see

  401. we today as Christians. And I've said many times, even

  402. on this day that's supposed to be a holy day,

  403. because God said in the Old Testament, I don't have holidays,

  404. I have holy days. My days are holy, not holidays,

  405. and his holy days. The world has desecrated it, and

  406. the Church has taken it on and accepted it. That's

  407. why the world is in the condition that's in now,

  408. because the Church made itself acceptable to the world and

  409. allowed the world to come into God's house and do

  410. whatever they want to do. Since it's up in the choir,

  411. fornicators in the choir, liars in the choir, wanting to

  412. be entertained, an entertainer in a choir. That's why the

  413. ain't no choir. Because when you understand what the choir represents.

  414. It don't represent none of that. You see. I have

  415. to tell you this today because of what today is

  416. supposed to represent. Today is supposed to represent a meant

  417. somebody for God gets the glory Man, but we forget

  418. about the cross when we get saved. It's the cross.

  419. It's the reason why we even allowed to be saved.

  420. You see, a lot of people get the wrong God

  421. did when they get saved. That's why you got folk

  422. runing around talking about whence you saved, you're always saved.

  423. That's a lie from the Pizel Hill. Because if that

  424. was true, then the scripture wrong. And we know the

  425. scripture ain't wrong. The scripture right. Revelation says that those

  426. that endure somebody saying do them till the end, shall

  427. shall be saved. Paul said, I follow good fight. Why

  428. was he fighting? If he got saved and if he's

  429. already he ain't have to fight no more? Diddy, he said,

  430. I follow a good fight. Huh. I stretched far for

  431. the prize of a high calling in Jesus Christ. See

  432. folks be lying the folk. See if you believe once

  433. you get saved, you always saved, that means you can

  434. go out and drink and smoke and commit a dodgy

  435. And because you saved, you done, got saved you good?

  436. Now you saved all the way to hell. That's what

  437. you say. The good fight was the fight of faith.

  438. It's gonna fight. We fight the enemies after our faith

  439. in God, and we gotta fight to keep it because

  440. the ballot is not ours. But we gotta fight a

  441. good fight of faith. Hey man, it's like we get

  442. saved and we forget God, just like when we get

  443. in trouble, we forget Jesus. Jesus ain't never forgot the Father.

  444. Jesus didn't want to go to the cross because he

  445. was thinking of the Father, if it be possible take

  446. this cup from me. It wasn't that that he had

  447. a problem with. It was this connection. He didn't want

  448. to be disconnected from God at no period of time,

  449. not even for a sentiment of a time. But he

  450. knew when he took oh, not in the sins in

  451. the world, that God was gonna turn from him. He

  452. didn't wanna be disconnected at no time. And if he's

  453. in you, you shouldn't wanna be disconnected at no time.

  454. And saying disconnects you get saving.

  455. You think you're in some kind of paradise, forget about

  456. the blood and the suffering. I think you can just

  457. take it easy in rest. But there's no rest for

  458. the saints. It's on the other side of the Jordans.

  459. On this side, there's gonna be some suffering. In fact,

  460. when Paul talked about knowing the Lord, he said that

  461. I might know him in the power of his resurrection

  462. and in the fellowship of his suffering. In other words,

  463. you don't look forward to a resurrection if you have

  464. not also been involved in his suffering.

  465. Right.

  466. And here's another thing. You first gotta die, ay man.

  467. In fact, you don't need to resurrect if you have

  468. not already died. So you gotta go through the suffering

  469. process and the process of self and flesh dies before

  470. you can even have hope of a resurrection. You can't

  471. resurrect nothing that ain't die. You ain't died to see it.

  472. How you gonna be resurrected. See, Jesus was doing what

  473. he's doing now in me. He was trying to prepare

  474. his disciples for his debt and in his and in

  475. this chapter of this verse twelve, it actually begins in

  476. verse twenty three when Jesus says the hour has come.

  477. So he's trying to get them ready for his death,

  478. burial and resurrection. Why because he's preparing them for the

  479. Kingdom of God. Amen. And there's no way in his

  480. preaching where he talking about all these material blessings to them.

  481. I not one time as I follow Jesus in his

  482. word to my Look here, Peter, if you just continue

  483. to bless me and praise me, you're gonna get that

  484. house you're looking for. Come on in here, John, you

  485. gonna get that car and that job. But what he

  486. did tell them about that is that if you would

  487. just seek first the Kingdom of heaven, and if you

  488. would just seek first the Kingdom of Heaven.

  489. And his righteousness, oh things will be added unto V.

  490. But first, let me teach you to seek first the

  491. Kingdom of Heaven, so that your mind will stayed on him.

  492. God's mind is on your car, his mind is on

  493. your house. His mind is on your husband, your wife,

  494. and your life. As long as you keep staying on him,

  495. he stayed on what you need. David said, I've never

  496. seen the righteous forsaken, the righteous forsaken, nor his seed

  497. begging bread, because when you keep your mind stayed on him,

  498. he gonna take care of you because he promised, and

  499. he's not a man that he should lie. Are the

  500. son of man that he should repent. And he went

  501. to the cross to prove his promise. He went through

  502. a lot to show you that he's real about what

  503. he's gonna do and what he's says, he real about it.

  504. Jesus here is trying to prepare his disciples here for

  505. his death. And in this chapter of John, chapter twelve,

  506. it actually begins in verse twenty three when Jesus says

  507. that our has come that the son of Man should

  508. be glorified. And when we hear that, we think of

  509. him being glorified as being caught up on the cloud

  510. in the heaven, he being glorified, he being caught up

  511. on the cloud. But that ain't what he was talking about. No,

  512. you see, Jesus was talking about being glorified in his hour.

  513. He meant the hour of betrayal. We might not be

  514. able to see the glory and the betrayal, sister Elaine,

  515. but the betrayal had to come that he might be glorified. Amen.

  516. He was talking about the hour betrayal, and the hour

  517. of suffering, and the hour of death, and then the

  518. hour of his resurrection. So Jesus was saying, if you

  519. want to see me be glorified, yeah, you first have

  520. to go and see me suffer. Hey man, you gotta

  521. first see me suffer and go through. But in the

  522. end of it, it's not going to last very long.

  523. And then he goes on in verse twenty forty. Let

  524. him know that he meant. What he meant was he said,

  525. as verily, very good, verily very I say unto you.

  526. Except a corn or grain of wheat fall into the

  527. ground and die, it abide it along. But if it dies,

  528. it bringeth for much fruit. If I took a grain

  529. and set it right here on this arge, it ain't

  530. gonna do nothing. But if I take it and put

  531. it in the ground and it died, it's gonna bring

  532. some stuff to life. You don't hear what I'm saying.

  533. Jesus was telling them about the process of germination, that

  534. when you take a seed and keep it, it produces nothing.

  535. But when you put it in the grind a man somebody,

  536. when you put it in the ground, it's gonna die.

  537. And then when it dies, it's gonna live again, and

  538. it's gonna bring forth much fruit. Understand, keep this in mind.

  539. You have to take the grain and put it in

  540. the ground. Once it goes in the ground, it has

  541. to be nourished. And once it begins to get the

  542. right nourishment, and you water it as part of nurishment,

  543. then God gives it the increase. Amen, keep that in mind.

  544. You gotta put the seed in the ground for the

  545. seed to become something more than what you're looking at.

  546. I missed that that sea gonna come out looking like

  547. more than what you were looking at. The seed dies,

  548. and then it pops open under the ground, and out

  549. of it comes a little sprout. And that sprout comes

  550. up and becomes a stalk, and on that stalk our

  551. many more ears of corn. See, it came up looking

  552. a whole lot different than it did when it went

  553. in their ground. It went in a little bit of

  554. seed what some other man sowing. Also, Shelley, reaping and

  555. sewing is not greater than reaping. Reaping is greater than sowing.

  556. So you sought the little sea, but you reaped a

  557. great horvest that goes with ways that goes, but ways

  558. you plant a bad seed. I don't have to go

  559. no fucking do it. You're gonna reap a great harvest

  560. upon yourself of evil. Amen, some bad and all of

  561. this from one little seed, all this corn. But you know,

  562. the grain would have been nothing but a grain if

  563. it had not been put in the ground. I keep saying,

  564. if it had not been putting the ground, if you

  565. hadn't put it down in the ground, if you hadn't

  566. put it in the ground. Amen, it had to go

  567. on the ground. And then when it went in the ground,

  568. it went through the process of germination. The process of

  569. germanation was the suffering. Are you listening to me? It's

  570. the suffering because you put the seed in the ground, Amen,

  571. and once to see you went in the ground, it

  572. had to suffer. It suffered through all that dirt trying

  573. to get back up to the top of the ground.

  574. It's suffered through the weeeede, Its suffered through the roots

  575. that were down there. It's suffered through the rocks and

  576. all of that hard dirt. But at one time, at

  577. given time of its germination, it puts out. You ain't

  578. even had a suffer through the dirt first to get

  579. to the light. What am I trying to tell you?

  580. Is that Jesus was saying, if you just let me

  581. keep walking around in Galilee, you just let me. And

  582. that's what. If I just keep on walking around on

  583. this earth and I don't get planted in the ground,

  584. salvation ain't gonna sprout up. I got y'all, got the y'all,

  585. I got the as my hour has come down, y'all

  586. where I got to be put in the ground. So

  587. when I pop up, you ain't gonna be able to

  588. stop what's gonna happen once I pop up. Once I

  589. pop up, it's old and pop in. I don't know

  590. if I just keep walking around here, I know I'm

  591. gonna pick this one up. And because I'm well right now,

  592. my name is where veright now. They might not have

  593. seen me, but my name is whereveright now. Because someone

  594. said I heard, they ain't seen nothing I heard. That's

  595. what they said in the words I heard of this man.

  596. But I want to be more than just heard of. See,

  597. if you put me in the earth when I come

  598. back up, You're not ever gonna be able to stop

  599. what's gonna happen. Ain't nobody being able to stop Folks

  600. being saved. She got saved today. You ain't gonna stop

  601. see when see when I when I pop back up

  602. and I start sprouting up, It's not only gonna happen

  603. in Harvestime Christian Church. It's gonna start happening in all

  604. ministries all over the world. You ain't gonna be able

  605. to stop what's gonna happen once I pop back up.

  606. It's gonna happen all over the world. Just because they

  607. hung him on the cross, you and me are here

  608. today because of that. He said. Let me, he said,

  609. lift me up, and you'll never be able to stop

  610. what's gonna happen next. Because if you think that chilling

  611. me is gonna be a victory for you, devil, you

  612. better think again. It's a victory for me. It ain't

  613. a victory for you. It's a victory for me. You see,

  614. since the enemy is not all knowing, he decided to

  615. hunt the sun a man down to take him out,

  616. But he didn't know he was ignorant of the fact

  617. in taking him out, he was gonna bring all his

  618. other about. He thought he had help at one time,

  619. but when he decided to get in the minds of

  620. him to take him out. He didn't know he was

  621. producing even more enemies for hisself. Yeah, I don't hear

  622. what I'm saying. So he didn't get the victory. Jesus said,

  623. the victory belongs to me, and not just me, but

  624. for me and my people. That's who gets the victory

  625. for my suffering and for you putting me in the ground. See,

  626. Jesus Christ is the only one that offers this salvation

  627. that the world seeks. Even though people today are focused

  628. on a brand new suit, a brand new dress, a hat,

  629. some eggs. They ain't even each the eggs because rabbits

  630. don't even lay eggs. That's how you know it's dumb

  631. in the first place and has nothing to do with God.

  632. There's already enough of lost focus in God's uh, in

  633. the ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And they

  634. adding all this other stuff to it, each the eggs

  635. and fat people in red and white suits and stuff.

  636. It's already enough stuff and preachers telling you it was

  637. the heel you went in with the heels lying to

  638. you up in the poor pit, preaching damnation, and folks

  639. don't even get it. But see, that's because the focus

  640. is off of what this day really represents the death,

  641. burying resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I said,

  642. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. A whole lot of

  643. people want to save you, but they don't want the

  644. lord part. Save me, Lord, but please don't tell me

  645. what to do. That's what they're saying. I wanna be saved.

  646. Save me from this unruly man, Save me from this

  647. court date, save me from this jail on this prison time,

  648. save me from these drugs, But don't tell me what

  649. to do. See, if you ain't got Lord and Savior,

  650. you ain't got the full package. And if you don't

  651. have the full package, you not gonna make it. How

  652. many you want to have a rope when you done

  653. fell over to the mountain side and they gonna put

  654. a rope down you weigh down there, the rope stops

  655. right here. You ain't got a whole rope. You want

  656. the whole rope, don't just so you can reach the rope.

  657. Salvation only comes from Jesus Christ. It don't come from

  658. no man. It don't come from no woman, no money.

  659. You're gonna be blessed if you just give all this,

  660. if you're serving God, you already blessed, You got already blessed.

  661. I heard a preacher preach one time I was at

  662. the service, and he says, all y'all blessings come off

  663. of him. I said, not mine, not mine, because he

  664. ain't even right. So how my blessing gonna come off him?

  665. My blessings come from up above? Heard the preacher tell

  666. me one time he said I'm the bishop, and I say,

  667. I said, you might be the bishop, but God, you

  668. ain't Jesus. And he might be the business, but you

  669. ain't Jesus. I do what Jesus said. Do now, if

  670. you tell me some Jesus told you to tell me

  671. to do, and I know he told me because I'm

  672. he already gonna tell me to do it for he

  673. tell you, just tell me to do it. It don't

  674. work like you think it works. Well, you think I'm

  675. supposed to be all impressed because you call yourself a prophet.

  676. You can't tell me nothing God ain't already told me.

  677. And if you tell me anything outside of what God said,

  678. you aligned prophet. See if people get prophecy mixed up,

  679. they think it's some wonderful thing, some mystical things that

  680. some man does. And even Jesus had to operate out

  681. on the power of God. He said, I look up

  682. with the five thousand plus and I pray, and I

  683. break every time he prayed and break. God gave him

  684. creative power. God put creative power in his hand. He

  685. looked up to the Father and prayed, and he prayed,

  686. and he was seeing all the folk, and still had

  687. left those wife because the power of God got in

  688. his hand, not his own power. Oh Lord, come to

  689. some reality. Nobody stands up here. It's all great. Anything

  690. great is gonna come from God, because all good things

  691. come from up above. He ain't did nothing. You can't

  692. find salvation in no man, no woman, no money, no

  693. nothing outside of Jesus Christ. Some folks running around think

  694. they can get it at any Muhammad. You can't get

  695. it out of Muhammad. Mo Muhammad is a cult. Buddha

  696. is a cult. Ain't man, somebody, ain't no salvation, and

  697. nobody but Jesus Christ. Because the Bible says there is

  698. no other name under heaven and above under heaven or

  699. above heaven, that we might be saved. But by Jesus Christ.

  700. You can't get saved by Allah. Buddha, Harry Kishener, Joel Osteen,

  701. none of them. Kreflold Dollar, you can only get saved

  702. by Jesus Christ. He's the only one that has the power,

  703. because the Bible says that he got up with all power.

  704. He's the only one with the power to save you.

  705. I can pray for you, I can't save you. There's

  706. nobody I can save you. So don't get twisted when

  707. folk come up here and get prayed. It ain't me.

  708. I'm just I'm just touching an agreeing with him. I'm

  709. only doing what they want done. And I can't do

  710. no more. If I come from praising you for something

  711. you want and you really don't want it, I can't

  712. help you. God deals with the heart. It's a matter

  713. of the heart, he said. At the end of it all,

  714. every nee go on about, and every shall bow to

  715. the name of Jesus, not to the name of our law,

  716. not to the name of Buddha. And I saw these

  717. church in Africa where this man was setting in a

  718. chair like a throng, and all these people in there

  719. with their ignorant self were coming up to him, bowing

  720. down to him with their dumb self like he was

  721. Jesus Christ, somebody. They ain't gonna go to Hell. I

  722. believe they are all gonna be holding hands if they

  723. don't turn from the wicked ways. Ain't no need to

  724. be bowed too, but Jesus Christ. Even when in the

  725. Bible where they tried to bow before the angels, oh no,

  726. don't do that, they knew, I'm not the one you

  727. bow to, gave but one, the one that went to

  728. the cross, is the one that we bow to. As

  729. I live and die, every neede shall buy, and not

  730. only that, every tongue shall confess that he alone is God.

  731. And Jesus is Lord. And he was lord over all

  732. the problems you had. He was lord over all the

  733. habits you had. He was lord over all your confessions.

  734. He was lord over your state of mind when your

  735. state of mind was jacked up and man somebody, and

  736. he was lord over what you couldn't do. He could

  737. do until one day he came into our lives. And

  738. what a wonderful change did take place. It's a wonderful

  739. change when Jesus come into your life. I don't know

  740. how folks can go back in the other direction. It's

  741. a wonderful change. If the building is in golf in

  742. fire from all the windows and the front in the

  743. back door, five flames just shooting out of that and

  744. you made it out, why would you run back in

  745. the building. I'm confused. I'm totally confused. A man, somebody,

  746. you know, some of us we get saved, and we

  747. were ashamed of salvation. Get saving us, and you're ashamed

  748. of being saved. Some folks get saved. They don't even

  749. want folks know. They say they want to get with

  750. the crowd. They the crowd to come around you. You

  751. ain't got to get with them. They'll come around you.

  752. And then you don't want the crowd to know you saved,

  753. so you start acting like them instead of instead of

  754. you trying to fit in. You're supposed to be withdrawer,

  755. not being drawn. I remember many times I would minister

  756. the people in the store, on the street or wherever

  757. I might be. Got over work clothes. Folks, you know,

  758. they can't imagine. So sometime they look real good. You

  759. know what I'm saying. You had to look real good sometime.

  760. And then something when I start speaking and they really

  761. get it right, You must be a preacher. But I

  762. be with folks claiming the same salvation, and I get

  763. to talk to him.

  764. Now run off.

  765. Oh there he go, he talking about Jesus again. I'll

  766. be right back. Brother. You supposed to stand with me.

  767. It's a soul when you running off, fron the soul

  768. need to be saved. I don't get it. I don't

  769. get it. All I know is when Jesus came into

  770. my life, it was a wonderful change. A wonderful change

  771. took place in my life because he had to reach down.

  772. You understand, he had to reach down and lift me

  773. up because I was down in the ground, and he

  774. had to cultivate me and lift me up out of them.

  775. He had to water me. Can't nobody want to water me? Brother,

  776. he wanted They didn't believe in it. So Jesus knew

  777. it because he knew my heart. He said, let me

  778. put some water on his brother. Let me put a little,

  779. a little little feed on. Anybody got flowers in the

  780. front of house they had in front of their house.

  781. They got to put a little little fertilized on it

  782. to help me pop up out of that ground. You

  783. don't hear what I'm saying, Jesus said, if I be

  784. lifted up. You see, I told you to keep remembering

  785. that when you put the seed in the ground, it's

  786. not until you put the seed in the ground that

  787. the seed can come to life. Then you gotta understand

  788. the same thing happened to our Lord and Savior when

  789. he was beat unmercifully and he had to carry the

  790. cross all the way to God God, and then when

  791. he got there, they laid him down on the cross,

  792. nail on his hands to the cross, naw his feet

  793. to the cross. Then they lifted up the cross. And

  794. you know what happened out they lifted up and lifted

  795. him up on the cross, they dropped him down in

  796. a hole. They put him in the ground. And when

  797. they put him in.

  798. The ground, he began to grow some relationship, went everywhere

  799. he had to go in the ground that he made

  800. him die and didn't live again.

  801. See, they literally dropped the cross in the hole. And

  802. when they did that, immediately the enemy was going out

  803. of messed up. I'd have messed up now I didn't

  804. gotten them folks head and they donet beat this man

  805. and put him on the cross. And now he done

  806. rolls up, beat me out of my own house, took

  807. away all my power, gave it back to them. Now

  808. I gotta really be that trickster I've been called to be. Now,

  809. I gotta really try to trick him and tell him

  810. that didn't really happen. Y'all, there ain't no such thing

  811. as having our hell and I really don't exist. See,

  812. that's the biggest trick he ever gave anybody to try

  813. to make you believe he don't even exist, and got

  814. folks running around trying to show you what he looked like.

  815. He got that hotel on him with a point and

  816. them two horns on his head. He'll say that in

  817. about what it does says he was one of the

  818. most beautiful angels in heaven. And what it also says,

  819. which is most important, is I'm trying to figure out

  820. how they got a physical description of the devil when

  821. he's a spirit. How do they get a physical spirit?

  822. How do they get a physical description of him? Brother?

  823. And he's a spirit. Even when John went, does God

  824. put him to sleep and gave him an alibody experience?

  825. He looked, but he couldn't describe the way God really looked,

  826. or there had been sacrilegious But y'all, know how the

  827. devil look. I can tell you how he look too.

  828. Sometimes he looked like an individual acting of food. That's

  829. the devil. I know how he look. When I see

  830. you shooting people that ain't done nothing to you, that's

  831. the devil. That's how he looks. So if you're not

  832. ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ or ashamed of salvation,

  833. you got to tell somebody. I'm so glad. I'm so

  834. glad by him being lifted up. You know why, because

  835. when he got lifted up, I got lifted up. I'm

  836. so glad he got lifted up because when he got

  837. lifted up, I got lifted up. You don't hear what

  838. I'm saying. I got lifted up because he got lifted up.

  839. I'm so glad he was obedient unto death that he

  840. didn't turn back from what God called him to do.

  841. I'm so glad he didn't turn back from what God

  842. called him to do. So glad he didn't turn back

  843. from what God called him to do. So glad he

  844. didn't backslife. He came on a mission to complete a purpose,

  845. and the enemy he does the same thing. He comes

  846. on a mission to complete a purpose in you, and

  847. when he does. See. The difference between the enemy and

  848. Jesus is that when he comes on a mission to

  849. complete a purpose. The devil, once he completes the purpose,

  850. he leaves you to deal with the circumstances of the situation.

  851. He leaves you. But God came on a mission, send

  852. Jesus on a mission to complete, on a mission to

  853. complete a purpose in you. And when that purpose was

  854. completed in you, he stayed with you that the purpose

  855. may continue to be completed. But the enemy, he leaves

  856. you to deal with it on your own. You on

  857. your own. That's why people say what they say. Man,

  858. I don't they when they set up back in their

  859. mind they sat in court going what I shoot him for?

  860. Now you've got some reality. But God give you that

  861. reality in the beginning. Hey man, And I didn't give

  862. y'all a title of this message. That's because I'm not

  863. a script preacher. But if you just want a title,

  864. Jesus is saying an these scriptures, it's my time. Now.

  865. See the devil he done took over for so long,

  866. and now I'd have made it to the cross. You

  867. hear what I'm saying, deep, And then I've made it

  868. to a borrow grave because all of this had to happen,

  869. because it's my time. Now, it's my time to stop

  870. all this foolishness and bring about some salvation in this world. No,

  871. God ain't gonna do what he did to the first world.

  872. I said to the first world, see the second world.

  873. I'm gonna have to let this go on and let

  874. them make this choice of theirs. I'm gonna help them

  875. to live and not die, but the choice will be

  876. theirs to make, whether they want to live or not die.

  877. I say this in my clothing. God is not in

  878. the force feeding. He's not in the breaking an enery,

  879. and he ain't in the kidnapping. He ain't gonna break

  880. into your heart. He ain't gonna kidnap the devil's children,

  881. and he's not gonna force feed you the word of God.

  882. He ain't into none of that. He all lay it

  883. out for you, and it's for you to get if

  884. you want it. Hey, man, he did all he know

  885. to do to save your soul. He went to the cross,

  886. destroy the power of the enemy, restore the power back

  887. to humanity. And all humanity gotta do is receive the

  888. power and receive Jesus Christ into they life. Pick up

  889. this Bible, which are your instruction The b l e.

  890. Basic instructions before leaving the earth is right here. And

  891. if you read it and believe it. You can't just

  892. read it. You gotta believe it and hold it fast.

  893. You gotta meditate on them. You gotta put it in

  894. your memory banks. So when your trials and tribulations come,

  895. you know where to lean on me. It ain't no

  896. good to you. If you can't lean on me, you

  897. ain't gonna be able to lean on nothing. You don't know.

  898. Folks run around trouble. Why you trouble? You run around

  899. talking about you broke. I never say I'm broke. How

  900. we broke? When the Father that I got owns everything

  901. I count on a thousand heres, the earth, and the

  902. fullness the ever belongs to him. If my money is shut,

  903. I've just got a slow money flow right now. But

  904. I ain't broke because I serve with God, who promised

  905. to supply all of my needs according to his riches,

  906. not yours, not the bank, not the credit cards, but

  907. his riches in glorious and since he's eternal, his never

  908. runs out of what he can give me,
