Welcome to Transformation Church Podcast, where we represent God to
-
the lost and found for transformation in Christ. We're so
-
glad you're here and wherever you're listening from, we believe
-
God will transform your life. Do today's message.
-
Come on, come on, come on, give God a serious,
-
a serious pray. Do me a favor and grab the
-
person's hand right next to you real quick, just grab
-
the hand and just ask them a quick question and
-
say what can I pray for for you? Then I
-
want you to take sixty seconds after they answer you,
-
and I want you to pray out aloud for them.
-
Sixty seconds. Go ahead and ask them and then pray
-
for them. Pray for them. I said, come on, don't
-
be afraid to pray.
-
That's it, that's it. Thirty more seconds.
-
Oh oh yeah.
-
Now, if you believe what you prayed and you know
-
you touched heaven, I want you to give.
-
God a serious hand clapping.
-
And while we're clapping, let's bless God for amazing pastor
-
Pastor Mike, Pastor Natalie, Pastor Charles, his beautiful wife. Yeah,
-
come on, let's bless God for these chillers right here,
-
Pastor Mike's parents. Bishop McIntosh, come on. Let's God for
-
all of the staff. You have an amazing church, and
-
it's good to be here. I haven't been here in
-
a while. I moved to Florida. My family and I
-
moved to Florida, and we actually lived in Oklahoma for
-
a long time in Oklahoma City, I moved to Dallas
-
for four years and then we went to Florida. A
-
wonderful opportunity there, and we have loved the ministry, but
-
hated the animals. It's like Jurassic Park in Florida. I mean,
-
as soon as you walk outside, some just shoots by
-
you all the time.
-
And then I came home from work.
-
No before I came home from work, I woke up
-
one morning and it was a lizard just in the kitchen,
-
in the in the living room like this, looking at
-
me like this.
-
So I had to kill him, and I had to
-
killing him, and it was.
-
I had to use the quickness because they so fast,
-
you know. And so I get to work and when
-
I get to work, there's one like this big what
-
do they call those iguanas? And he's a big joke
-
and he's just sitting up there looking at me like this,
-
like I'm not moving you not moving somebody. So I'm
-
looking at him and killing him didn't work. Then we
-
got home and one of the ladies we work with,
-
he says, pastor, just put traps, sticky pads, you know,
-
by the garage door there to catch him. And I'm like, no, well,
-
I got these little things. Is they're not getting in there?
-
She says, put it down. We pull up in the
-
house and I look over. I think he's dead. So
-
I'm like, I told my daughter. I said he's dead.
-
I said, we can get him. So soon as I
-
walk over there, I said, oh god, And I did
-
it in front of my thirteen year I looked, so,
-
you know, so I had to fix it. I grabbed
-
the two by four and beat him into pieces, and
-
then I threw him out in the front yard. Some
-
others made fear and tremble, but pray for us as
-
we deal with the Wow, it's.
-
Pretty intense out there.
-
You never know if it's an alligator outside anything.
-
So it's really different from me.
-
And they're like, yo, you've been in Oklahoma almost twenty years.
-
I'm like, yeah, but we don't deal with that kind
-
of stuff. Okay, it's a different thing, but anyway, I
-
want to jump on this series. I'm a Bible teacher.
-
I love the Bible, and Pastor Charles has been doing
-
a phenomenal.
-
Job with regalations.
-
Come on, let's let's talk for him.
-
And so.
-
I watched the last two services and y'all read the
-
whole chapter. Did y'all do that? Or was I saying something? Okay,
-
so you'll ready to read it. Okay, let's put the
-
whole chapter chapter three.
-
But you got to read it.
-
Don't wait, don't depend on me, hey man, you're ready
-
to read one.
-
Two, three? Read.
-
Let me ask you this one question. Did you receive
-
the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses?
-
Of course? Not?
-
You received the spirit because you believed the message you
-
heard about Christ.
-
Read.
-
I ask you again, does God give you the Holy
-
Spirit and work miracles among you because you obeyed the law?
-
Of course not.
-
Abraham believed God and God counted him as righteous because
-
of his faith. The real children of Abraham, then, are
-
those who put their faith in God. What's more, the
-
scriptures looked forward to the time when God would make
-
the Gentiles right in his sight because of their faith.
-
God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when
-
he said, Read, so all who put their faith in
-
Christ share the same blessing Abraham.
-
Received because of faith. So it is clear.
-
This way of faith is very different from the way
-
of the Law, which says it.
-
Is come on.
-
When he was hung on the cross, he took upon
-
himself the curse for our wrongdoing. Or it is written
-
in the scriptures, cursed is everyone who is hung on
-
the tree fourteen brothers and sisters. This is what I'm
-
trying to say. The agreement God made with Abraham could.
-
Not be canceled Cory.
-
Then it would not be the result of accepting God's promise.
-
But God gracially gave it to Abraham as a brummer.
-
Why then was the law given?
-
All right, all right, hold it, y'all, All right, let
-
me take a drink of water for y'all because y'all thirsty.
-
Y'all got that saying all kind of stuff. That's for everybody. Okay,
-
here we go twenty one Read Absolutely not. If the
-
law could give us a new life, we could be
-
made right with God by old began. But the scriptures
-
declare that we are prisoners of sin. So we receive
-
God's promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ.
-
Is that it no. All right, here we go twenty three.
-
All right, pauls, Okay, so let's start all over.
-
Ready read.
-
Before the way of faith Christ was available to us,
-
we were placed under God by the law. We were
-
kept under protective custody.
-
Until Christ came.
-
It protected us until we could be made right with
-
God through faith. We no longer lead the law as
-
our guard. Here, like putting on new clothes. Okay, hold on,
-
hold on, hold on, let's last one.
-
Let's read it with power.
-
Ready, read, there is no longer you are gentle. Come on,
-
come on, bess God for the word, you may be seated. Wow,
-
you did a phenomenal job reading that. I mean, really, really,
-
really good. I want to talk for just a few
-
minutes on the subject that God gave me when Pastor
-
told me to deal with it. Somebody shout the illusion
-
of custody. I want to talk about the illusion of custody.
-
Now. In the opening verse we all read in chapter.
-
Three, Paul calls the Galatians foolish right out of the gates.
-
So this tells you the tone and the temperament that
-
he's pretty disappointed. It would be just like me in
-
front of you and say, read fools. You wouldn't receive that,
-
that would upset you, that would make you feel a
-
certain way. But he opens the letter calling them foolish.
-
But interesting enough, he's not calling them a fool because
-
of their lack of intellect, but rather for allowing.
-
Themselves to be robbed of their happiness.
-
So he calls them a fool because you're allowing people
-
to take from you what you worked so hard to receive.
-
How you set yourself apart, suffered, learned, listened, fast, prayed,
-
and now you've allowed people to come into your life
-
and rob you.
-
Have you ever been robbed of your happiness?
-
Have you ever experienced someone coming into your life after
-
you have just believed God for something that just really
-
took a lot for you to believe him, for you
-
trusted him, You fasted, you prayed, you partnered with You
-
did the necessary things for God to work in your life,
-
and He did it, and then someone robs you up
-
that entire experience. That is something difficult to deal with it,
-
but it happens regularly. But he calls them foolish. Now,
-
what's interesting to me is I started studying, I started
-
looking at the fact that it can be depressing when
-
that happens to you, And it can also be confusing
-
to be called something by somebody you respect so much,
-
to have to receive a blessing after they just gave
-
you a word that doesn't fit well with your spirit,
-
for someone to walk up and rebuke you after they
-
just blessed you, for someone to check you after they've
-
just absolutely just appreciated you in front of the entire crowd.
-
But one of the things that I've noticed with us
-
is that we are quick to believe what is not
-
true and slow to believe what God is saying to us. Yeah,
-
and Luke, chapter four, twenty four, twenty five, it says,
-
how foolish are you and how slow to believe all
-
the prophets what they have said to you. We have
-
to go double check and triple check and make sure
-
is this a man of God? Is this a woman
-
of God? Let me check their track record. I need
-
to make sure. I don't know who they are. But
-
you'll receive anything else from anybody else when it comes
-
outside of the Kingdom of God. We're slow to receive
-
what God has but quick to listen to gossip, quick
-
to listen to what we see on social media, whether
-
it's a quick clip or short clip, well quick to
-
believe what other people have said without even proof and
-
knowing that we've got a God that has touched you,
-
that has raised you, that has taken care of you,
-
that has protected you, watched.
-
Over your family, watched over your children.
-
It takes too much for the people of God to
-
receive from God. And I do not understand why we
-
I struggled with this. But if you look at this text,
-
Paul asked them five questions after he called them a food.
-
After he calls them foods, he says, number one, who
-
has bewitched you?
-
Look at that.
-
This is what arrested me when I was reading the text,
-
because now he's telling us.
-
That the only way for you to actually.
-
Walk away from what God is doing in your life,
-
somebody had to come in and almost put a spell
-
on you, which would simply mean you have given your
-
attention to somebody too much. You've absorbed their presence. You've
-
allowed them to be a source in your life or
-
a resource at a higher level than what they should be,
-
and they actually have the influential power to make you
-
walk away from something that you had clarity over you
-
knew that God had done something in your life.
-
You know that God is a healer.
-
But after you allow this particular person to come into
-
your life, it costs you the question your own confession.
-
Who are you listening to? That you will get to
-
the point that you would let go of everything that
-
God has done for you and decide that I'll try
-
you instead of trying Jesus. What kind of power does
-
a person have.
-
In your life?
-
What place do they have in your life that would
-
make you walk away from the word of God. Just
-
because you went to college means you got to try something.
-
The devil is a liar.
-
You ought to have enough stay in power to look
-
the devil in the face and tell them I wasn't
-
raised like that.
-
I wish I had a witness in Tussuh.
-
I want you to look at somebody and tell them
-
I got too much power to go through like this.
-
Now here's the reason.
-
Why I know that person sitting next to you ain't
-
got no power, because.
-
They whispered it to you.
-
At them, look at somebody else and tell him I
-
got too much power.
-
To go through like this.
-
Now you look back at them and tell him use.
-
Your power now.
-
If that nave ain't praising God, get away from him.
-
Tell them get somewhere. I got somewhere, I got to be.
-
I've God too much power, glory to God, too much power.
-
Don't play that thing, my God? He said, who bewitched you,
-
who put a spell on you, who made you walk away.
-
From the truth of God's word?
-
And We've got a whole lot of friends like that
-
that we were brought up with, that loved God, sung
-
in the choir with us, went to Bible band, Bible
-
study with us, and then got connected with someone that
-
had some type of influence that caused you to walk
-
away from clarity and to step into confusion. And something
-
about confusion is interesting. It's one thing when you don't know,
-
but it's another thing when you actually know and you
-
walk away from what you know. That means that it's
-
more than you just misunderstanding. That means that there's a
-
spirit behind what you're communicating with, that someone intentionally sought
-
you out to turn you into a minion so that
-
you could become their follower and their supporter, so they
-
wouldn't be in their circumstance or their belief system flown
-
In other words, they're recruiting you because they want to
-
pull you from the Kingdom of God.
-
Satan desires to sift you like wait. That means he
-
will take your life and shake you.
-
And the question that you need to answer here in
-
Tulsa and the world, how are you handling the shaking?
-
How are you handling the sifting? Do you still have
-
your testimony while you're shaking? Do you still have a
-
praise while you're shaking?
-
Glory to God? I wish I had a witness in here.
-
Can you still shout Hollylujah when things are shaking?
-
The part?
-
Do you still trust God when it looks like all
-
hell is busting loose and everybody's got the goods on you?
-
How are you handling the shaken? Can you still say?
-
I love you? Yo?
-
He slaved me, yet I trust in him?
-
I don't know.
-
He asked him the second thing, did you receive the
-
spirit by the works of the law or by believing
-
what you heard?
-
Then he came back and said, are you foolish?
-
After beginning by the means of the spirit, are you
-
now trying to finish by the means of the flesh?
-
And when he says flesh.
-
He's not talking about flesh as in sex or flesh
-
in trying to be a certain way.
-
He's talking about the works of the law. He said,
-
are you.
-
Telling me that you got this thing by faith and
-
now you're trying to work it out through merit? Now
-
you want to do good? So God will say, come up.
-
Has nothing to do with that. Then he says to him,
-
have you experienced so much in vain as if it
-
was really in vain? Then he goes to the fifth thing.
-
He says, does God give you his spirit? And what
-
miracles among you by the works of the law, or about.
-
You believing what you heard? See, here's the problem.
-
When we preach the law without preaching Jesus fulfilling the law,
-
then we put you in a seat. Or let me
-
just say, we become manipulators, because we're turning you into robots.
-
To do, to do, to do, to do, to do,
-
to do, to please God, to do.
-
I've got to do this to please God. And if
-
I haven't.
-
Done this, then God's not pleased. And if I haven't
-
done it this way, God's not pleased. This is how
-
it has to be done. So you have people that
-
preach the law. There was nothing wrong with preaching the
-
law the first five books of the Old Testament, the Torah,
-
the septuagen Nothing is wrong with doing that. But if
-
you don't preach Jesus fulfilling the law, then you incomplete
-
the law. Jesus said, I did not come to do
-
a week with the law, but I came to it.
-
Fulfill the law.
-
This is the only way that we can really teach
-
it by teaching the finished work of Jesus Christ.
-
But a lot of us are so caught up with
-
the law.
-
That we have this duality going on in our churches.
-
Sometimes law, sometimes grace, sometimes law, sometimes grace. You won't
-
grace when it's you, You won't law when it's somebody else.
-
Come on, somebody shout hallylujah. So I want you to
-
look at your name and ask them who are you
-
listening to?
-
Whoever has your ear.
-
Ultimately holds your future, who we give our way to
-
or make room for. And time kind of replaces our
-
inner voice because what they say to you, what you're
-
listening to, you start pulling in that information, and it
-
sits in your recessive voice. And there are times when
-
the dominant voice is strong enough the recessive voice will
-
speak for you. But all of that is dependent upon
-
whoever you lend your ear to. That's why the scriptures
-
tell us that he that have an ear hear what
-
the spirit has to say.
-
Unto the church.
-
Now, it's critical because spirits are always talking. Evil spirits
-
are always trying to influence you to do what you
-
shouldn't be doing. But if you're not tapped into the
-
Kingdom of God and understanding that, it's not just enough
-
for me to come to church, but I've got to
-
actually have a serious relationship with God. So my whole
-
walk with God is not me trying to figure out
-
what God sounds like. I'm not always having to go
-
to a pastor Todd's mom to get a word. I'm
-
not always having to go to the team of prophets
-
and prophet tests to get the word. If you get
-
in a real relationship with God, you'll hear God in
-
the wind. Oh, by God, You'll seek God in the trees.
-
You'll seek God in the grass. Why wouldn't you Here
-
is the creator of the entire world. Everything that God
-
made has essence from God in it. You ought to
-
get a word from a squirrel, a word from a dog,
-
a word.
-
From a cat. Now you're saying, no, you can't get that.
-
Let me tell you why you're wrong.
-
Because in the Old Testament, when oh my God, do
-
y'all know what I'm getting ready to tell you? Who
-
you think spoke to the flies? Who you think spoke
-
to the frogs? Who you think spoke to all? It
-
was John that was speaking frog and speaking life, because everything.
-
He created has an ear to hear.
-
I wish I had a witness sentence here look at
-
somebody asked him, do you have an ear to hear?
-
I'm trying to be all proper and polite, but that
-
has got to be who I am. I love God
-
and I hate the devil. Somebody shout hallelujah. Watch what
-
he says in Mark chapter fourth, verse nine, and he said,
-
he who has ears to hear, let him be hearing.
-
He had to be black wrote this.
-
One, and let him consider.
-
And comprehend. Watch what he says.
-
Let me keep moving from around in time, Mark twenty
-
four to twenty five, Mark four twenty four twenty five.
-
And he said to them, be careful what you are hearing.
-
The measure of thought and study you give to the
-
truth you hear will be the measure of virtue and
-
knowledge that comes back to you. And more besides will
-
be given to you who here, for to him who
-
has will.
-
More be given.
-
And from him who has nothing, even what he has,
-
will be taken away from.
-
Him by force.
-
The next thing I want you to write down in
-
your notes is this, stop listening to everybody's word. Just
-
because it's in his name does not mean it is
-
for you.
-
You understand that. Now, how do we know that to
-
be true? Everything?
-
I'm gonna give you his Bible Matthew seven twenty two
-
and twenty three.
-
Man, he will say.
-
To me, on that day, Lord, did we not prophesy
-
in your name?
-
And then come on?
-
And did we not drive our demons and then your
-
name perform miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, I
-
never knew you. Then he says, away from me, you
-
evil do us.
-
Now here's what's crazy to me.
-
You spent time getting to know who God doesn't know.
-
You spent so much time putting on your makeup, getting sexy,
-
getting on the tread meal. You spent so much time
-
making sure that you cut your food so you could
-
have abs so when she saw you, you was gonna
-
look fine, and you was gonna break her mind.
-
But come on, I was ahead of witness here.
-
But the person that you're trying to get to know,
-
God said, I don't even know them. You spent more
-
time trying to get to know them than trying to get.
-
To know him.
-
Somebody shout hallelujah.
-
You've got to get to know him.
-
And when you get to know him and you build
-
your relationship with him, then you won't always be running
-
to social media.
-
To get a quick word for your life.
-
You will pick up your own fingers, pick up your
-
own Bible and let your fingers do the walking through
-
the word for yourself, and you'll find a word for
-
your circumstance, for your own family, for your own mind,
-
and read your own word. Look at somebody, say, get
-
a word for yourself.
-
He said, stop doing that. He said, stop doing that.
-
See, the people of Galicia were constantly listening to the
-
teachings of the Judaizers and the Jews was like, okay,
-
I believe Jesus, but they had these other teachers that
-
was telling them, Yo, you can't just be saved by grace.
-
You can't just be saved by faith.
-
You can't do that. You got to be circumcised.
-
You you gotta sacrifice, You gotta keep these rules.
-
You gotta keep these rules. So they're going back and forth.
-
So the truth of the matter is the reason why
-
Paul has questions is because more than likely they had questions,
-
but they didn't ask the right person the questions. Sometimes
-
you should just shut up now you laughing. But some
-
people didn't know. You didn't know until you told them
-
you didn't know. And when you told them they didn't know,
-
you gave them an opportunity to come into your life.
-
Because when you don't know, you don't know, and when
-
you don't know, everybody that sounds like they know becomes
-
a master to you. So you'll pick up and move
-
across the country because you didn't know, but they sounded
-
like they knew, you will pick up and leave your
-
family and go be with somebody else. Or because you
-
still don't know God's voice, but you know theirs.
-
Are y'all all right over here.
-
In this section over here, y'all, y'all God, You don't
-
know God's voice, but you know the voice of the
-
enemy that's robbing you, robbing you of your happiness, robbing
-
you of your joy, robbing you of your circumstances, robbing
-
you of your issues.
-
You don't know God, but you know them. How is
-
it that you can know them?
-
Know her, know how she smells, know how she moves,
-
know how he moves, know how he maneuvers, knows what
-
he thinks, how she thinks, but can't interpret God.
-
It is because.
-
We allow other people to be the voice in our
-
lives instead of us building the relationship with God.
-
Our own selves.
-
Now, Pastor told you in chapter one, if you look
-
at Galician six and seven. In chapter one, Paul said,
-
I am astonish that you are so quickly deserting the
-
one who called you to live in the grace of
-
Christ and are turning to a different gospel, which is
-
really what no gospel at all. So evidently they were
-
preaching so well that it made them walk away from
-
their own blessing, made them move from their own blessing.
-
What is it that's causing you to ignore the pool
-
of Jesus but to invite the pool of others. This
-
is what's happening in Galatians. They are constantly in a
-
struggle of confusion, going back and forth.
-
Is this right? Or is this right. Is this God?
-
Or is this God?
-
When you don't know, you become pray to those that do.
-
You have to build your relationship with God. And what
-
am I trying to tell you? You have to go
-
beyond membership. Are you'll listening to me? Your relationship with
-
God shouldn't just be institutional, It should be personal. If
-
the only time you're touching your Bible when you come here,
-
you don't have enough.
-
Street to make it through the week.
-
You're gonna need a word every single day. And the
-
Old Testament, when the matter was coming down, he wouldn't
-
let them store the.
-
Matter for tomorrow.
-
He told them, you get enough for today and then
-
tomorrow I'm gonna put some more out there, which in
-
the New Testament Jesus puts.
-
It in the prayer.
-
Give us this day our daily bread. You should have
-
daily bread. You should have daily prayer, You should have
-
daily revival, you should have daily consecration. This shouldn't be
-
a day that goes by that when one of your
-
sisters or one of your brothers call you that they
-
don't feel God or hear God, because you got a
-
daily relationship with him. Can I get a witness in
-
this house? Look over and tell somebody, tell them about
-
walk with God every single day. It's not just a
-
Sunday thing for me. It's an everyday thing. Now here's
-
the critical issue. If it's every day for you, your
-
company is going to be limited. You more than likely
-
will not be famous. Or if you are famous, you
-
will be tortured because you got a daily walk. See
-
when you do it every.
-
Now and then from time to time, demons don't need
-
to bother you. No where.
-
I wish I had at least ten pre tend people
-
in here that the enemy ain't thinking about you because
-
you ain't even thinking about God.
-
We only hear We only see you on Sunday morning.
-
Heaven only hears you praising on Sunday morning. Heaven only
-
hears you shouting glory on Sunday morning. Heaven only sees
-
you when you pick up a microphone. Can you're praising
-
without a mic Can you're praising without a church? Can
-
you're praising without an organ? Can you're praising without an ussher?
-
Can you praise him when you got cancer? Can you
-
praise him when you got a divorce? Can you praising
-
when you've got nothing? Can you praise it when your
-
back is up against the wall. Those are the people.
-
Those are the people that Satan is trying to destroy
-
because he knows it doesn't matter what it looks like.
-
You gonna praise him when you're up, and you're gonna
-
praise him when you're down. It doesn't matter if if
-
you've got money or no money, evicted or just bought
-
a new house. The circumstance does not determine who gets
-
my glory. Jesus does wish I had a witness in here.
-
High five two people that tell him I'm going with
-
Jesus U wooh mind God today, I don't want a
-
different gospel. Don't come preaching no different gospel to me.
-
This is what Paul is telling him.
-
He says, you don't want that. That's why you're confused
-
and confused.
-
Just simply means that there's more than one pure thing.
-
There's multiple things that have been poured into it, and
-
there's a mixture of things that's on your mind. And
-
the reason why you're confused because there's too many things,
-
and you've got to figure out how do I detach
-
from some of these things. My sanity means more to me,
-
Oh my God, my family means more to me. My
-
future means more to me. And when you stand up
-
and realize that you are more than what's going on
-
in your life, you will fight like hells and you'll
-
let the devil know. You will not disrupt my family.
-
You will not disrupt my people. You will not disrupt
-
my company. If you want to fight, we're gonna fight
-
the good fight of faith. Oh, somebody said, hallelujah.
-
By that organ, sound mighty, mighty right to me back. Then,
-
what do you do when confusion has you in custody?
-
Write it down?
-
Number one, Pray to the Lord and ask him to
-
unclutter your mind. Pray to the Lord, asks him to
-
unclutter your mind. Number two, Capture every thought that is
-
against the knowledge of Christ. If the thoughts in your
-
mind are rising up against the truth that you know,
-
you know that this is an attack of the internet.
-
Number three, Let the peace of God God your mind.
-
It is not your job to God your mind, because
-
you can only guard it while you're conscious. You can
-
only guard it while you're awake. But if you let
-
the peace of God, God will have soldiers walking in
-
your suit.
-
God will have soldiers.
-
Why you don't lunch break talking to somebody you ain't
-
got no business.
-
Talking to you.
-
God will guard you when you shouldn't be with that man,
-
or you shouldn't be with that woman.
-
He will guard you.
-
Look at somebody and tell them God is guarding my mind.
-
If he's God in your mind, listen to what he says.
-
Peace that's surpassed all understanding. I don't even have a
-
word for what God is doing for me.
-
I don't have description.
-
I don't have vernacular for how God is God in
-
my mind? Did he tells me be anxious for nothing.
-
But in everything?
-
Through prayers, supplication, make your request known unto God. That's
-
how you battle with anxiety. You battle with anxiety by
-
the peace that's surpassed all understanding. God is your God,
-
and God is your Counselor.
-
Are you all right with me? Transformation? Stop found no
-
one listening to the source of your confusion in the world.
-
Are you asking God for peace but you keep going
-
out with confusion? Yeah?
-
Some of you sitting right next to your confusion right now.
-
Some of you texting your confusion in.
-
Church right now.
-
That's why you can't stay focused because you so confused.
-
You got booty on your mind. While we praised in God.
-
Confusions.
-
He ain't preaching my word, No I'm not. You don't
-
even hear it because your mind is somewhere.
-
My mind is telling me, but my.
-
Body, Yeah, that's where you are.
-
That's why you can't hear it. You can't hear it.
-
You can't hear it because confus uson this. You're tied
-
to it. You're connected to it. You can't wait to
-
churches over so you can go sit down with brunch
-
with confusion. Have you noticed that when you're connected to confusion,
-
y'all have a good day in a bad second right
-
after the good day. It's like this constantly, because maybe
-
you're not supposed to give them your ear. You were
-
fine until you connected with confusion. This is what's going
-
on in Glatiip Paul's preaching, and all the confused teachers,
-
missionaries and speakers are constantly agitating them. And because they
-
don't know it enough, the one who knows more sounds
-
like the master. And so this idea of custody, it
-
caught my attension immediately. Custody is defined as a circumstances
-
which a suspect is deprived of his freedom in.
-
Any significant way.
-
Or they're led to believe that in their mind they
-
have been guarded, they've been closed. Where's my officer head?
-
When when you are, when you in custody, you're controlled,
-
you're controls. And even though you feel like you've got freedom.
-
And control.
-
And control, the control and control, control, control, control, control, controul, controul.
-
You hear who the son said, Fred, it's free. You
-
don't believe it. You're in control, your control.
-
And when you feel like you made it, you're ready
-
to go in there. You control and control and control.
-
And this is what the law does, because the law
-
is a reminder of your transgression. The law is constantly
-
telling you you're you're not right. The law was actually
-
made to show you your transgressions, that you can't make
-
it without God, that you actually need Jesus. And so
-
the more you try to live and you're trying to
-
experience freedom, and you get a break and you feel like,
-
oh my God, I feels so good. God's been so good,
-
and you run right back into because you know why. Now,
-
the truth of the matter is this, according to this text,
-
if Jesus fulfill the law, then who is this? This
-
is the illusion because the only reason He's there is
-
because your mind has not been transformed. If your mind
-
becomes transformed and renewed, then it doesn't matter what people preach.
-
He who the Son sets free is free indeed.
-
And so the problem is this stay right that law.
-
The problem is this.
-
The problem people care more about the custody than they
-
do your freedom. They want you to pay for what
-
you did. Yeah, they want you to pay. And they
-
want you to pay bad for what you did. And
-
because you're still gifted, and God forgave you, and you're
-
still gifted, and God opened up a door for you
-
and you're still gift. It in God keep making a
-
way for you. You're still gifted. And God keeps just
-
for some strange reason, as wrong as you were, God
-
still keeps doing it over and all.
-
The and all the and all the and all the
-
and ol the and all the how is that? And
-
why is that? It is not I, but it is
-
the Christ that lives within me.
-
You cannot do it alone. You have to have Jesus.
-
Look at somebody, tell them I got Jesus. I got Jesus.
-
I got Jesus, I got I got Jesus. I got
-
cheeses that ain't a good neighbor of pine. Somebody that
-
would tell him, I got Jesus, I got Jesus. Has
-
he done anything for you? Has he made a way
-
for you? Has he cracked open the door? Has he
-
healed your body? Has he fitched the pills? Has he
-
done something for you? Somebody shot, I got Jeesus. Here's
-
what's amazing to me. The law, the Mosaic law, the
-
judy is love Moses. Moses transcribed the law. And then
-
when you keep reading Ezekiel and Deuteronomy, not easy, excuse me,
-
but Exodus doudon Leviticus. It's more than ten commandments. It
-
moves over six hundred and thirteen laws, and of the
-
sixteen hundred and thirteen laws. If you read it in
-
the text that we read, you would see what it
-
says the just shall live by faith. But if you
-
read it, you also saw where it says that those
-
that live by the law had to live by the law.
-
So if if you broke one law, you broke all
-
six hundred and thirteen laws. So you can just break
-
one and be all right. If you broke one, you
-
broke them all. And then you have to go get
-
a substitute.
-
A lamb, a bird, a ram, a bullock, a bird.
-
Pay for it, give it to the priests, let the
-
priest do the sacrificing. Then you beat issued forgiveness or
-
an escape goat. All of that stuff had to happen
-
just for you to get forgiveness. And if you broke one,
-
you broke them all. And so here we are with
-
the law. The law is just a constant reminder that
-
you are not good enough. And so that's why churches
-
preach the law all the time because the law they
-
want you to know you're not good enough, and they
-
want you to keep coming back and keep coming back,
-
and keep coming back, and keep coming back, and keep
-
coming back and keep coming back and keep coming back.
-
When in reality, if he fulfilled the law, you already
-
have everything that you need. But the problem is this fasted, Well,
-
are you giving us a license to sin? Nobody said
-
nothing about sin. We're talking about Jesus. We're talking about
-
that he set up a system that was better than
-
the first system. He's not saying that that system was
-
not right. He's not saying that even that that system
-
was wrong. But what he's saying is that system itself
-
was perfect. According to Hebrew seven. He said that system
-
was perfect, but it did not perfect anybody.
-
Are you here with me?
-
He said, though the system, though the law was perfect,
-
it could not be It could not perfect you. The
-
only way for you to be made perfect was for
-
him to fulfill the law. And once he fulfill the law,
-
he gave you freedom. And then what what's this?
-
Moses, who's that law?
-
It happens four hundred and thirty years after Abraham has
-
been given the Covenant. Abraham was given the Covenant before.
-
There was a law. That's no law.
-
But Abraham trust God and believe that he's going to
-
be blessed in his entire family. It's going to be blessed.
-
So if that's the case, the third thing I'm gona
-
taking is the final thing is you have an unstoppable promise.
-
You have an unstoppable promise. You have an unstoppable promise,
-
and he who promised you is faithful. What does that
-
mean that even though the law was established after the promise,
-
the law wasn't strong enough to stop the promise. It
-
could nullify what God told Abraham.
-
The law didn't even exist.
-
But then when he told Abraham, listen, you are going
-
to be a father of many nations. Your whole nation
-
is going to be blessed because of you. If the
-
nation is going to be blessed and we walk it
-
into a system that calls us to.
-
Be cursed, is god lyon. No, he's not lying. What
-
God is saying.
-
I solved problems before there was ever a problem. That's
-
why the Bible says that the lamb was slain before
-
the foundations of the world, that when the situation comes,
-
Jesus already has an answer. And the truth of the
-
matter is Jesus is the answer. The reason why you
-
can't make the law work is because you were never
-
supposed to. Jesus was Jesus was supposed to fulfill it.
-
Jesus was supposed to change it. Jesus set it up
-
so that you didn't have to keep going back to
-
a lamb. You could go back to the lamb of God.
-
I wish I had a witness.
-
Sit here, grab somebody by the hand and tell them
-
you got a real lamb. Oh, tell them you got
-
the Lamb of God who comes to take away the
-
sins of the world. Hop five somebody and tell him
-
my God, Jesus. Oh, I wish I could preach it
-
like a philis, but I gotta let this thing go.
-
But just grab somebody by the head and put that
-
dogin in the house so I can hear it like
-
you did for praise and worship. Grab somebody by the
-
head and tell that neighbor the reason why I can't.
-
Be stopped.
-
Is because I have an unstoppable God. And tell them
-
it doesn't matter what I'm going through. I came to
-
let hell know that I got a serious praise on
-
the inside. And I don't know who I'm talking to
-
it here. But if there's a real praiser in Tulsa,
-
crab that neighbor and tell him, neighbor, I feel like
-
giving God a real praise. Tell him I've been through hell,
-
been through storm and raid, been through sickness, been through
-
financial problems, but through.
-
It all, God.
-
Steve pulled me out. Have I got a witness in here,
-
Snatch that neighbor, if you're not ashamed in here, crap
-
him by the hand and just rock them real quick
-
and tell them, neighbor, this is how God come bring
-
you out. He's going to rock you through trouble. He's
-
going to rock you through the pain. He's going to
-
rock you through the divorce. He's going to rock you
-
through trauma. Tell somebody, come on organist.
-
And ride with me. Have I gotta praise here?
-
You got an unstoppable promise that means that what you
-
have Hell can't stop it, demons can't stop it. It's
-
just an illusion. He's trying to play tricks on you.
-
But look at somebody and tell them tricks is for kids.
-
Have I gotta witness here? And I'm not a kid.
-
I belong to the Most High God. And he walks
-
with me, and he talks with me, and he tells
-
me that I am his own. Have I gotta witness here?
-
It's just an illusion, It's not real.
-
It's just in your mind. But if you can just sex.
-
Yourself and come to yourself and tell hell, I am
-
walking with the key, I'm unstoppable. I got too much power,
-
I got too much of an Anna say it. I
-
just believe that if you grab somebody that wants to
-
praise God, something's gonna hit your house before you get
-
home today.
-
If they don't want to praise it, man.
-
Get away from m But grab somebody that feels like
-
praising God and tell them you don't know how bad
-
I need a miracle in my house, in my body,
-
in my family. I need a miracle. And God, God
-
is unstoppable. He's going to heal your body. He's gonna
-
save your soul. He's gonna fix your credit, he's gonna
-
fix your mind. Say, I want to know who feel
-
God in here right now? If you just take one
-
more second and look at somebody.
-
Who threw their hands up and say the neighbor. God
-
put me by you.
-
For a reason, because both of us are unstoppable.
-
And where.
-
That's true or three caredd in his name.
-
Now he is.
-
Right in the middle. He's in the middle. Love to
-
your headache, he's in the middle. Love of your finances,
-
he's in the middle, Love your sickness. He's in the medal.
-
He's in the middle.
-
He's in the medal saying it is.
-
You cannot. Oh my God, you cannot do it on
-
your own. He said, the Lord, it wasn't enough. So
-
I had a better coming.
-
Only I could fulfill it, he said, But I'm here
-
now and there's nothing that can stop me. You have
-
a God that is unstoppable, So you got to understand
-
there's some of you in this room that have given
-
up on some of the things God told you you
-
were supposed to do because you have a law mentality.
-
You think you have to take merits steps to get there.
-
While I understand the responsibility in the natural, the consequences
-
that are in the natural, but you got to understand it.
-
That is just for humanity.
-
And a lot of times we can't see eternity because
-
we don't understand it. We're trapped in time, and time
-
is all you know. And because of time, you don't
-
want to be in shame for an enormous amount of time.
-
You don't want to operate in guilt an enormous amount
-
of time, and you've blocked your own self.
-
From being what God called you to be.
-
They are dreams that you had that you gave up
-
on because you don't believe you deserve it. And you've
-
penalized yourself along with what others have said you should
-
not do, and you cannot be and you do not deserve.
-
And I want you to come to this altar.
-
Not gonna take a long time, but if that's you
-
and I'm talking to you, I want you to get
-
up and I want you to move right now, because you're.
-
In this room.
-
You in the stands, come down. No time to sit
-
there and look at us. Come down. It's just an illusion.
-
You may have done wrong. Yeah, people do penalize us, yes,
-
and I'm not saying that's not supposed to happen.
-
But what you gotta understand is you got a God
-
that fork gives you and we'll restore you. And he
-
is not like man. So I want you to get
-
down here quickly. Come come, come, come, come, come, I
-
see you. Come on, get on the keyboard for me,
-
real nicely.
-
Come up, louder, come on, come on, come on, come on,
-
come come, come, come, come on, come on.
-
We want to pray for you.
-
If y'all just hold time, give these people the opportunity
-
to talk to God.
-
Come on, come on if you can.
-
And they're not ashamed as you touch that person next
-
to you, let them know they're not the only one.
-
Say it. Unthought he had you, you got away. He
-
wanted you to wrestle with yourself.
-
Right.
-
He is a lion.
-
What you're going through, it's just an illusion. God, he
-
has something for you, So why don't you.
-
Reaton?
-
That's Jesus.
-
Can you touch Jesus? Can you touch Jesus. Can you
-
touch Jesus.
-
He wants.
-
To touch you. Lord, this is all prophetic. Okay, can
-
you touch Jesus? Here are it's to touch you?
-
Here?
-
He are you more you, That's just what he does.
-
I want you to hold that hand, squeeze it, and
-
I want you to know God loves you, and I
-
don't care what you did. Brother, I don't care what
-
you did. Sirs.
-
There may be people here that disapprove, but God loves
-
you so much that he will love you through that disapprovement.
-
He'll love you through the shame. He'll love you through
-
the guilt, because that old Covenant is just an illusion.
-
He said. You don't need that guardian anymore because you've
-
put on the close of Christ.
-
You have the clothes of Christ. And I'm looking at
-
some of you right now as God is dealing with you.
-
I want you to forgive yourself. I don't want you
-
to give yourself another chance. You deserve freedom, You deserve
-
to be everything that you desire to be. And you
-
may have something on your record, but I serve the
-
kind of God that will get you hired with a record.
-
I serve the kind of God that will wash your record.
-
I serve the kind of God that's got people looking
-
for people like you, with a record.
-
That says it doesn't matter what man has said. Ah
-
Am unstoppable. Glory to God.
-
Father touched them now as they're this altar, as we
-
sweep this room with your presence. Give them the courage
-
of a thousand lions to rule in a season where
-
they've kept quiet. Give them their raw back, give them
-
their hollow back, give them their power back, give them
-
their courage back, give them their joy back, give them
-
their pushback. Give them everything that they lost in this
-
past season because of what people said. I rebuke their
-
own mind that's telling them they don't deserve it. The
-
devil is a lie. He who the Son sets free
-
is free. Indeed, you're a free woman. You are a
-
free man. This is your season to step into your future.
-
We're not waiting for things to be right. Now is
-
the time, Glory to God. I hear the spirit of
-
the Lord saying, now is the time. This is your
-
hour to trust God and not go back and forth.
-
Take him at his word and believe that it's already done.
-
And when you walk through the fire, when you walk
-
through the flood, when you walk through the rivers. It
-
will not overtake you, but you're gonna have to walk
-
through it. The river's gonna stay there, the fire is
-
gonna stay there, the water is gonna stay there. But
-
He's given you an unstoppable force to keep it from
-
drowning you and burning you up. I want you to
-
turn that handle loose, and I want you to praise
-
God for your right now.
-
You unstoppable, You got power. You're way more annoughty than
-
what you think you are. You got way more grace
-
on your life than what you think you have.
-
You got something that hell is afraid of. But until
-
you recognize that, you won't use it. I said praising.
-
Don't worry about them you're praising. Open your mouth and
-
praise it. If you want it, open your mouth and
-
praise it.
-
No time to be cool.
-
This is a time to shout unto the lawn with
-
a voice of triumph. Let hell, No, I'm still here.
-
I'm not committing suicide. I'm not moving to another city.
-
I'm going to open my business right here. I'm gonna
-
finish school right here. I'm gonna get married again right here.
-
I'm gonna start.
-
All open in and ride here.
-
If you're in this room and you're not saved, nobody's moving.
-
You're not saved, and you want to give Jesus your life,
-
you're just freeze and I'm gonna hand it over to
-
the preacher. You're not saved. I want to be saved.
-
Throw your hand up. He wants to save you today.
-
You need that unstoppable power. You need that unstoppable power.
-
You need unstoppable power. Salvation is in the room. Unstoppable power,
-
unstoppable power. If you're in this room, if you're online
-
and you said I need that unstoppable power, I want
-
to give my life to Jesus.
-
You know what to do here in this church, they
-

We thank you for salvation. We thank you for the
-
opportunity to come into the Kingdom of God. This is

the greatest decision that I've ever made.
-
In my life.
-
I believe that your son died for my sins and
-
that same power that brought him back is the power
-
that's living in me right now. And right now I'm
-
saved and ain't nobody in Earth or Hell can do
-
anything about it. And I give your praise for salvation.
