  5. Come on, come on, come on, give God a serious,

  6. a serious pray. Do me a favor and grab the

  7. person's hand right next to you real quick, just grab

  8. the hand and just ask them a quick question and

  9. say what can I pray for for you? Then I

  10. want you to take sixty seconds after they answer you,

  11. and I want you to pray out aloud for them.

  12. Sixty seconds. Go ahead and ask them and then pray

  13. for them. Pray for them. I said, come on, don't

  14. be afraid to pray.

  15. That's it, that's it. Thirty more seconds.

  16. Oh oh yeah.

  17. Now, if you believe what you prayed and you know

  18. you touched heaven, I want you to give.

  19. God a serious hand clapping.

  20. And while we're clapping, let's bless God for amazing pastor

  21. Pastor Mike, Pastor Natalie, Pastor Charles, his beautiful wife. Yeah,

  22. come on, let's bless God for these chillers right here,

  23. Pastor Mike's parents. Bishop McIntosh, come on. Let's God for

  24. all of the staff. You have an amazing church, and

  25. it's good to be here. I haven't been here in

  26. a while. I moved to Florida. My family and I

  27. moved to Florida, and we actually lived in Oklahoma for

  28. a long time in Oklahoma City, I moved to Dallas

  29. for four years and then we went to Florida. A

  30. wonderful opportunity there, and we have loved the ministry, but

  31. hated the animals. It's like Jurassic Park in Florida. I mean,

  32. as soon as you walk outside, some just shoots by

  33. you all the time.

  34. And then I came home from work.

  35. No before I came home from work, I woke up

  36. one morning and it was a lizard just in the kitchen,

  37. in the in the living room like this, looking at

  38. me like this.

  39. So I had to kill him, and I had to

  40. killing him, and it was.

  41. I had to use the quickness because they so fast,

  42. you know. And so I get to work and when

  43. I get to work, there's one like this big what

  44. do they call those iguanas? And he's a big joke

  45. and he's just sitting up there looking at me like this,

  46. like I'm not moving you not moving somebody. So I'm

  47. looking at him and killing him didn't work. Then we

  48. got home and one of the ladies we work with,

  49. he says, pastor, just put traps, sticky pads, you know,

  50. by the garage door there to catch him. And I'm like, no, well,

  51. I got these little things. Is they're not getting in there?

  52. She says, put it down. We pull up in the

  53. house and I look over. I think he's dead. So

  54. I'm like, I told my daughter. I said he's dead.

  55. I said, we can get him. So soon as I

  56. walk over there, I said, oh god, And I did

  57. it in front of my thirteen year I looked, so,

  58. you know, so I had to fix it. I grabbed

  59. the two by four and beat him into pieces, and

  60. then I threw him out in the front yard. Some

  61. others made fear and tremble, but pray for us as

  62. we deal with the Wow, it's.

  63. Pretty intense out there.

  64. You never know if it's an alligator outside anything.

  65. So it's really different from me.

  66. And they're like, yo, you've been in Oklahoma almost twenty years.

  67. I'm like, yeah, but we don't deal with that kind

  68. of stuff. Okay, it's a different thing, but anyway, I

  69. want to jump on this series. I'm a Bible teacher.

  70. I love the Bible, and Pastor Charles has been doing

  71. a phenomenal.

  72. Job with regalations.

  73. Come on, let's let's talk for him.

  74. And so.

  75. I watched the last two services and y'all read the

  76. whole chapter. Did y'all do that? Or was I saying something? Okay,

  77. so you'll ready to read it. Okay, let's put the

  78. whole chapter chapter three.

  79. But you got to read it.

  80. Don't wait, don't depend on me, hey man, you're ready

  81. to read one.

  82. Two, three? Read.

  83. Let me ask you this one question. Did you receive

  84. the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses?

  85. Of course? Not?

  86. You received the spirit because you believed the message you

  87. heard about Christ.

  88. Read.

  89. I ask you again, does God give you the Holy

  90. Spirit and work miracles among you because you obeyed the law?

  91. Of course not.

  92. Abraham believed God and God counted him as righteous because

  93. of his faith. The real children of Abraham, then, are

  94. those who put their faith in God. What's more, the

  95. scriptures looked forward to the time when God would make

  96. the Gentiles right in his sight because of their faith.

  97. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when

  98. he said, Read, so all who put their faith in

  99. Christ share the same blessing Abraham.

  100. Received because of faith. So it is clear.

  101. This way of faith is very different from the way

  102. of the Law, which says it.

  103. Is come on.

  104. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon

  105. himself the curse for our wrongdoing. Or it is written

  106. in the scriptures, cursed is everyone who is hung on

  107. the tree fourteen brothers and sisters. This is what I'm

  108. trying to say. The agreement God made with Abraham could.

  109. Not be canceled Cory.

  110. Then it would not be the result of accepting God's promise.

  111. But God gracially gave it to Abraham as a brummer.

  112. Why then was the law given?

  113. All right, all right, hold it, y'all, All right, let

  114. me take a drink of water for y'all because y'all thirsty.

  115. Y'all got that saying all kind of stuff. That's for everybody. Okay,

  116. here we go twenty one Read Absolutely not. If the

  117. law could give us a new life, we could be

  118. made right with God by old began. But the scriptures

  119. declare that we are prisoners of sin. So we receive

  120. God's promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ.

  121. Is that it no. All right, here we go twenty three.

  122. All right, pauls, Okay, so let's start all over.

  123. Ready read.

  124. Before the way of faith Christ was available to us,

  125. we were placed under God by the law. We were

  126. kept under protective custody.

  127. Until Christ came.

  128. It protected us until we could be made right with

  129. God through faith. We no longer lead the law as

  130. our guard. Here, like putting on new clothes. Okay, hold on,

  131. hold on, hold on, let's last one.

  132. Let's read it with power.

  133. Ready, read, there is no longer you are gentle. Come on,

  134. come on, bess God for the word, you may be seated. Wow,

  135. you did a phenomenal job reading that. I mean, really, really,

  136. really good. I want to talk for just a few

  137. minutes on the subject that God gave me when Pastor

  138. told me to deal with it. Somebody shout the illusion

  139. of custody. I want to talk about the illusion of custody.

  140. Now. In the opening verse we all read in chapter.

  141. Three, Paul calls the Galatians foolish right out of the gates.

  142. So this tells you the tone and the temperament that

  143. he's pretty disappointed. It would be just like me in

  144. front of you and say, read fools. You wouldn't receive that,

  145. that would upset you, that would make you feel a

  146. certain way. But he opens the letter calling them foolish.

  147. But interesting enough, he's not calling them a fool because

  148. of their lack of intellect, but rather for allowing.

  149. Themselves to be robbed of their happiness.

  150. So he calls them a fool because you're allowing people

  151. to take from you what you worked so hard to receive.

  152. How you set yourself apart, suffered, learned, listened, fast, prayed,

  153. and now you've allowed people to come into your life

  154. and rob you.

  155. Have you ever been robbed of your happiness?

  156. Have you ever experienced someone coming into your life after

  157. you have just believed God for something that just really

  158. took a lot for you to believe him, for you

  159. trusted him, You fasted, you prayed, you partnered with You

  160. did the necessary things for God to work in your life,

  161. and He did it, and then someone robs you up

  162. that entire experience. That is something difficult to deal with it,

  163. but it happens regularly. But he calls them foolish. Now,

  164. what's interesting to me is I started studying, I started

  165. looking at the fact that it can be depressing when

  166. that happens to you, And it can also be confusing

  167. to be called something by somebody you respect so much,

  168. to have to receive a blessing after they just gave

  169. you a word that doesn't fit well with your spirit,

  170. for someone to walk up and rebuke you after they

  171. just blessed you, for someone to check you after they've

  172. just absolutely just appreciated you in front of the entire crowd.

  173. But one of the things that I've noticed with us

  174. is that we are quick to believe what is not

  175. true and slow to believe what God is saying to us. Yeah,

  176. and Luke, chapter four, twenty four, twenty five, it says,

  177. how foolish are you and how slow to believe all

  178. the prophets what they have said to you. We have

  179. to go double check and triple check and make sure

  180. is this a man of God? Is this a woman

  181. of God? Let me check their track record. I need

  182. to make sure. I don't know who they are. But

  183. you'll receive anything else from anybody else when it comes

  184. outside of the Kingdom of God. We're slow to receive

  185. what God has but quick to listen to gossip, quick

  186. to listen to what we see on social media, whether

  187. it's a quick clip or short clip, well quick to

  188. believe what other people have said without even proof and

  189. knowing that we've got a God that has touched you,

  190. that has raised you, that has taken care of you,

  191. that has protected you, watched.

  192. Over your family, watched over your children.

  193. It takes too much for the people of God to

  194. receive from God. And I do not understand why we

  195. I struggled with this. But if you look at this text,

  196. Paul asked them five questions after he called them a food.

  197. After he calls them foods, he says, number one, who

  198. has bewitched you?

  199. Look at that.

  200. This is what arrested me when I was reading the text,

  201. because now he's telling us.

  202. That the only way for you to actually.

  203. Walk away from what God is doing in your life,

  204. somebody had to come in and almost put a spell

  205. on you, which would simply mean you have given your

  206. attention to somebody too much. You've absorbed their presence. You've

  207. allowed them to be a source in your life or

  208. a resource at a higher level than what they should be,

  209. and they actually have the influential power to make you

  210. walk away from something that you had clarity over you

  211. knew that God had done something in your life.

  212. You know that God is a healer.

  213. But after you allow this particular person to come into

  214. your life, it costs you the question your own confession.

  215. Who are you listening to? That you will get to

  216. the point that you would let go of everything that

  217. God has done for you and decide that I'll try

  218. you instead of trying Jesus. What kind of power does

  219. a person have.

  220. In your life?

  221. What place do they have in your life that would

  222. make you walk away from the word of God. Just

  223. because you went to college means you got to try something.

  224. The devil is a liar.

  225. You ought to have enough stay in power to look

  226. the devil in the face and tell them I wasn't

  227. raised like that.

  228. I wish I had a witness in Tussuh.

  229. I want you to look at somebody and tell them

  230. I got too much power to go through like this.

  231. Now here's the reason.

  232. Why I know that person sitting next to you ain't

  233. got no power, because.

  234. They whispered it to you.

  235. At them, look at somebody else and tell him I

  236. got too much power.

  237. To go through like this.

  238. Now you look back at them and tell him use.

  239. Your power now.

  240. If that nave ain't praising God, get away from him.

  241. Tell them get somewhere. I got somewhere, I got to be.

  242. I've God too much power, glory to God, too much power.

  243. Don't play that thing, my God? He said, who bewitched you,

  244. who put a spell on you, who made you walk away.

  245. From the truth of God's word?

  246. And We've got a whole lot of friends like that

  247. that we were brought up with, that loved God, sung

  248. in the choir with us, went to Bible band, Bible

  249. study with us, and then got connected with someone that

  250. had some type of influence that caused you to walk

  251. away from clarity and to step into confusion. And something

  252. about confusion is interesting. It's one thing when you don't know,

  253. but it's another thing when you actually know and you

  254. walk away from what you know. That means that it's

  255. more than you just misunderstanding. That means that there's a

  256. spirit behind what you're communicating with, that someone intentionally sought

  257. you out to turn you into a minion so that

  258. you could become their follower and their supporter, so they

  259. wouldn't be in their circumstance or their belief system flown

  260. In other words, they're recruiting you because they want to

  261. pull you from the Kingdom of God.

  262. Satan desires to sift you like wait. That means he

  263. will take your life and shake you.

  264. And the question that you need to answer here in

  265. Tulsa and the world, how are you handling the shaking?

  266. How are you handling the sifting? Do you still have

  267. your testimony while you're shaking? Do you still have a

  268. praise while you're shaking?

  269. Glory to God? I wish I had a witness in here.

  270. Can you still shout Hollylujah when things are shaking?

  271. The part?

  272. Do you still trust God when it looks like all

  273. hell is busting loose and everybody's got the goods on you?

  274. How are you handling the shaken? Can you still say?

  275. I love you? Yo?

  276. He slaved me, yet I trust in him?

  277. I don't know.

  278. He asked him the second thing, did you receive the

  279. spirit by the works of the law or by believing

  280. what you heard?

  281. Then he came back and said, are you foolish?

  282. After beginning by the means of the spirit, are you

  283. now trying to finish by the means of the flesh?

  284. And when he says flesh.

  285. He's not talking about flesh as in sex or flesh

  286. in trying to be a certain way.

  287. He's talking about the works of the law. He said,

  288. are you.

  289. Telling me that you got this thing by faith and

  290. now you're trying to work it out through merit? Now

  291. you want to do good? So God will say, come up.

  292. Has nothing to do with that. Then he says to him,

  293. have you experienced so much in vain as if it

  294. was really in vain? Then he goes to the fifth thing.

  295. He says, does God give you his spirit? And what

  296. miracles among you by the works of the law, or about.

  297. You believing what you heard? See, here's the problem.

  298. When we preach the law without preaching Jesus fulfilling the law,

  299. then we put you in a seat. Or let me

  300. just say, we become manipulators, because we're turning you into robots.

  301. To do, to do, to do, to do, to do,

  302. to do, to please God, to do.

  303. I've got to do this to please God. And if

  304. I haven't.

  305. Done this, then God's not pleased. And if I haven't

  306. done it this way, God's not pleased. This is how

  307. it has to be done. So you have people that

  308. preach the law. There was nothing wrong with preaching the

  309. law the first five books of the Old Testament, the Torah,

  310. the septuagen Nothing is wrong with doing that. But if

  311. you don't preach Jesus fulfilling the law, then you incomplete

  312. the law. Jesus said, I did not come to do

  313. a week with the law, but I came to it.

  314. Fulfill the law.

  315. This is the only way that we can really teach

  316. it by teaching the finished work of Jesus Christ.

  317. But a lot of us are so caught up with

  318. the law.

  319. That we have this duality going on in our churches.

  320. Sometimes law, sometimes grace, sometimes law, sometimes grace. You won't

  321. grace when it's you, You won't law when it's somebody else.

  322. Come on, somebody shout hallylujah. So I want you to

  323. look at your name and ask them who are you

  324. listening to?

  325. Whoever has your ear.

  326. Ultimately holds your future, who we give our way to

  327. or make room for. And time kind of replaces our

  328. inner voice because what they say to you, what you're

  329. listening to, you start pulling in that information, and it

  330. sits in your recessive voice. And there are times when

  331. the dominant voice is strong enough the recessive voice will

  332. speak for you. But all of that is dependent upon

  333. whoever you lend your ear to. That's why the scriptures

  334. tell us that he that have an ear hear what

  335. the spirit has to say.

  336. Unto the church.

  337. Now, it's critical because spirits are always talking. Evil spirits

  338. are always trying to influence you to do what you

  339. shouldn't be doing. But if you're not tapped into the

  340. Kingdom of God and understanding that, it's not just enough

  341. for me to come to church, but I've got to

  342. actually have a serious relationship with God. So my whole

  343. walk with God is not me trying to figure out

  344. what God sounds like. I'm not always having to go

  345. to a pastor Todd's mom to get a word. I'm

  346. not always having to go to the team of prophets

  347. and prophet tests to get the word. If you get

  348. in a real relationship with God, you'll hear God in

  349. the wind. Oh, by God, You'll seek God in the trees.

  350. You'll seek God in the grass. Why wouldn't you Here

  351. is the creator of the entire world. Everything that God

  352. made has essence from God in it. You ought to

  353. get a word from a squirrel, a word from a dog,

  354. a word.

  355. From a cat. Now you're saying, no, you can't get that.

  356. Let me tell you why you're wrong.

  357. Because in the Old Testament, when oh my God, do

  358. y'all know what I'm getting ready to tell you? Who

  359. you think spoke to the flies? Who you think spoke

  360. to the frogs? Who you think spoke to all? It

  361. was John that was speaking frog and speaking life, because everything.

  362. He created has an ear to hear.

  363. I wish I had a witness sentence here look at

  364. somebody asked him, do you have an ear to hear?

  365. I'm trying to be all proper and polite, but that

  366. has got to be who I am. I love God

  367. and I hate the devil. Somebody shout hallelujah. Watch what

  368. he says in Mark chapter fourth, verse nine, and he said,

  369. he who has ears to hear, let him be hearing.

  370. He had to be black wrote this.

  371. One, and let him consider.

  372. And comprehend. Watch what he says.

  373. Let me keep moving from around in time, Mark twenty

  374. four to twenty five, Mark four twenty four twenty five.

  375. And he said to them, be careful what you are hearing.

  376. The measure of thought and study you give to the

  377. truth you hear will be the measure of virtue and

  378. knowledge that comes back to you. And more besides will

  379. be given to you who here, for to him who

  380. has will.

  381. More be given.

  382. And from him who has nothing, even what he has,

  383. will be taken away from.

  384. Him by force.

  385. The next thing I want you to write down in

  386. your notes is this, stop listening to everybody's word. Just

  387. because it's in his name does not mean it is

  388. for you.

  389. You understand that. Now, how do we know that to

  390. be true? Everything?

  391. I'm gonna give you his Bible Matthew seven twenty two

  392. and twenty three.

  393. Man, he will say.

  394. To me, on that day, Lord, did we not prophesy

  395. in your name?

  396. And then come on?

  397. And did we not drive our demons and then your

  398. name perform miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, I

  399. never knew you. Then he says, away from me, you

  400. evil do us.

  401. Now here's what's crazy to me.

  402. You spent time getting to know who God doesn't know.

  403. You spent so much time putting on your makeup, getting sexy,

  404. getting on the tread meal. You spent so much time

  405. making sure that you cut your food so you could

  406. have abs so when she saw you, you was gonna

  407. look fine, and you was gonna break her mind.

  408. But come on, I was ahead of witness here.

  409. But the person that you're trying to get to know,

  410. God said, I don't even know them. You spent more

  411. time trying to get to know them than trying to get.

  412. To know him.

  413. Somebody shout hallelujah.

  414. You've got to get to know him.

  415. And when you get to know him and you build

  416. your relationship with him, then you won't always be running

  417. to social media.

  418. To get a quick word for your life.

  419. You will pick up your own fingers, pick up your

  420. own Bible and let your fingers do the walking through

  421. the word for yourself, and you'll find a word for

  422. your circumstance, for your own family, for your own mind,

  423. and read your own word. Look at somebody, say, get

  424. a word for yourself.

  425. He said, stop doing that. He said, stop doing that.

  426. See, the people of Galicia were constantly listening to the

  427. teachings of the Judaizers and the Jews was like, okay,

  428. I believe Jesus, but they had these other teachers that

  429. was telling them, Yo, you can't just be saved by grace.

  430. You can't just be saved by faith.

  431. You can't do that. You got to be circumcised.

  432. You you gotta sacrifice, You gotta keep these rules.

  433. You gotta keep these rules. So they're going back and forth.

  434. So the truth of the matter is the reason why

  435. Paul has questions is because more than likely they had questions,

  436. but they didn't ask the right person the questions. Sometimes

  437. you should just shut up now you laughing. But some

  438. people didn't know. You didn't know until you told them

  439. you didn't know. And when you told them they didn't know,

  440. you gave them an opportunity to come into your life.

  441. Because when you don't know, you don't know, and when

  442. you don't know, everybody that sounds like they know becomes

  443. a master to you. So you'll pick up and move

  444. across the country because you didn't know, but they sounded

  445. like they knew, you will pick up and leave your

  446. family and go be with somebody else. Or because you

  447. still don't know God's voice, but you know theirs.

  448. Are y'all all right over here.

  449. In this section over here, y'all, y'all God, You don't

  450. know God's voice, but you know the voice of the

  451. enemy that's robbing you, robbing you of your happiness, robbing

  452. you of your joy, robbing you of your circumstances, robbing

  453. you of your issues.

  454. You don't know God, but you know them. How is

  455. it that you can know them?

  456. Know her, know how she smells, know how she moves,

  457. know how he moves, know how he maneuvers, knows what

  458. he thinks, how she thinks, but can't interpret God.

  459. It is because.

  460. We allow other people to be the voice in our

  461. lives instead of us building the relationship with God.

  462. Our own selves.

  463. Now, Pastor told you in chapter one, if you look

  464. at Galician six and seven. In chapter one, Paul said,

  465. I am astonish that you are so quickly deserting the

  466. one who called you to live in the grace of

  467. Christ and are turning to a different gospel, which is

  468. really what no gospel at all. So evidently they were

  469. preaching so well that it made them walk away from

  470. their own blessing, made them move from their own blessing.

  471. What is it that's causing you to ignore the pool

  472. of Jesus but to invite the pool of others. This

  473. is what's happening in Galatians. They are constantly in a

  474. struggle of confusion, going back and forth.

  475. Is this right? Or is this right. Is this God?

  476. Or is this God?

  477. When you don't know, you become pray to those that do.

  478. You have to build your relationship with God. And what

  479. am I trying to tell you? You have to go

  480. beyond membership. Are you'll listening to me? Your relationship with

  481. God shouldn't just be institutional, It should be personal. If

  482. the only time you're touching your Bible when you come here,

  483. you don't have enough.

  484. Street to make it through the week.

  485. You're gonna need a word every single day. And the

  486. Old Testament, when the matter was coming down, he wouldn't

  487. let them store the.

  488. Matter for tomorrow.

  489. He told them, you get enough for today and then

  490. tomorrow I'm gonna put some more out there, which in

  491. the New Testament Jesus puts.

  492. It in the prayer.

  493. Give us this day our daily bread. You should have

  494. daily bread. You should have daily prayer, You should have

  495. daily revival, you should have daily consecration. This shouldn't be

  496. a day that goes by that when one of your

  497. sisters or one of your brothers call you that they

  498. don't feel God or hear God, because you got a

  499. daily relationship with him. Can I get a witness in

  500. this house? Look over and tell somebody, tell them about

  501. walk with God every single day. It's not just a

  502. Sunday thing for me. It's an everyday thing. Now here's

  503. the critical issue. If it's every day for you, your

  504. company is going to be limited. You more than likely

  505. will not be famous. Or if you are famous, you

  506. will be tortured because you got a daily walk. See

  507. when you do it every.

  508. Now and then from time to time, demons don't need

  509. to bother you. No where.

  510. I wish I had at least ten pre tend people

  511. in here that the enemy ain't thinking about you because

  512. you ain't even thinking about God.

  513. We only hear We only see you on Sunday morning.

  514. Heaven only hears you praising on Sunday morning. Heaven only

  515. hears you shouting glory on Sunday morning. Heaven only sees

  516. you when you pick up a microphone. Can you're praising

  517. without a mic Can you're praising without a church? Can

  518. you're praising without an organ? Can you're praising without an ussher?

  519. Can you praise him when you got cancer? Can you

  520. praise him when you got a divorce? Can you praising

  521. when you've got nothing? Can you praise it when your

  522. back is up against the wall. Those are the people.

  523. Those are the people that Satan is trying to destroy

  524. because he knows it doesn't matter what it looks like.

  525. You gonna praise him when you're up, and you're gonna

  526. praise him when you're down. It doesn't matter if if

  527. you've got money or no money, evicted or just bought

  528. a new house. The circumstance does not determine who gets

  529. my glory. Jesus does wish I had a witness in here.

  530. High five two people that tell him I'm going with

  531. Jesus U wooh mind God today, I don't want a

  532. different gospel. Don't come preaching no different gospel to me.

  533. This is what Paul is telling him.

  534. He says, you don't want that. That's why you're confused

  535. and confused.

  536. Just simply means that there's more than one pure thing.

  537. There's multiple things that have been poured into it, and

  538. there's a mixture of things that's on your mind. And

  539. the reason why you're confused because there's too many things,

  540. and you've got to figure out how do I detach

  541. from some of these things. My sanity means more to me,

  542. Oh my God, my family means more to me. My

  543. future means more to me. And when you stand up

  544. and realize that you are more than what's going on

  545. in your life, you will fight like hells and you'll

  546. let the devil know. You will not disrupt my family.

  547. You will not disrupt my people. You will not disrupt

  548. my company. If you want to fight, we're gonna fight

  549. the good fight of faith. Oh, somebody said, hallelujah.

  550. By that organ, sound mighty, mighty right to me back. Then,

  551. what do you do when confusion has you in custody?

  552. Write it down?

  553. Number one, Pray to the Lord and ask him to

  554. unclutter your mind. Pray to the Lord, asks him to

  555. unclutter your mind. Number two, Capture every thought that is

  556. against the knowledge of Christ. If the thoughts in your

  557. mind are rising up against the truth that you know,

  558. you know that this is an attack of the internet.

  559. Number three, Let the peace of God God your mind.

  560. It is not your job to God your mind, because

  561. you can only guard it while you're conscious. You can

  562. only guard it while you're awake. But if you let

  563. the peace of God, God will have soldiers walking in

  564. your suit.

  565. God will have soldiers.

  566. Why you don't lunch break talking to somebody you ain't

  567. got no business.

  568. Talking to you.

  569. God will guard you when you shouldn't be with that man,

  570. or you shouldn't be with that woman.

  571. He will guard you.

  572. Look at somebody and tell them God is guarding my mind.

  573. If he's God in your mind, listen to what he says.

  574. Peace that's surpassed all understanding. I don't even have a

  575. word for what God is doing for me.

  576. I don't have description.

  577. I don't have vernacular for how God is God in

  578. my mind? Did he tells me be anxious for nothing.

  579. But in everything?

  580. Through prayers, supplication, make your request known unto God. That's

  581. how you battle with anxiety. You battle with anxiety by

  582. the peace that's surpassed all understanding. God is your God,

  583. and God is your Counselor.

  584. Are you all right with me? Transformation? Stop found no

  585. one listening to the source of your confusion in the world.

  586. Are you asking God for peace but you keep going

  587. out with confusion? Yeah?

  588. Some of you sitting right next to your confusion right now.

  589. Some of you texting your confusion in.

  590. Church right now.

  591. That's why you can't stay focused because you so confused.

  592. You got booty on your mind. While we praised in God.

  593. Confusions.

  594. He ain't preaching my word, No I'm not. You don't

  595. even hear it because your mind is somewhere.

  596. My mind is telling me, but my.

  597. Body, Yeah, that's where you are.

  598. That's why you can't hear it. You can't hear it.

  599. You can't hear it because confus uson this. You're tied

  600. to it. You're connected to it. You can't wait to

  601. churches over so you can go sit down with brunch

  602. with confusion. Have you noticed that when you're connected to confusion,

  603. y'all have a good day in a bad second right

  604. after the good day. It's like this constantly, because maybe

  605. you're not supposed to give them your ear. You were

  606. fine until you connected with confusion. This is what's going

  607. on in Glatiip Paul's preaching, and all the confused teachers,

  608. missionaries and speakers are constantly agitating them. And because they

  609. don't know it enough, the one who knows more sounds

  610. like the master. And so this idea of custody, it

  611. caught my attension immediately. Custody is defined as a circumstances

  612. which a suspect is deprived of his freedom in.

  613. Any significant way.

  614. Or they're led to believe that in their mind they

  615. have been guarded, they've been closed. Where's my officer head?

  616. When when you are, when you in custody, you're controlled,

  617. you're controls. And even though you feel like you've got freedom.

  618. And control.

  619. And control, the control and control, control, control, control, control, controul, controul.

  620. You hear who the son said, Fred, it's free. You

  621. don't believe it. You're in control, your control.

  622. And when you feel like you made it, you're ready

  623. to go in there. You control and control and control.

  624. And this is what the law does, because the law

  625. is a reminder of your transgression. The law is constantly

  626. telling you you're you're not right. The law was actually

  627. made to show you your transgressions, that you can't make

  628. it without God, that you actually need Jesus. And so

  629. the more you try to live and you're trying to

  630. experience freedom, and you get a break and you feel like,

  631. oh my God, I feels so good. God's been so good,

  632. and you run right back into because you know why. Now,

  633. the truth of the matter is this, according to this text,

  634. if Jesus fulfill the law, then who is this? This

  635. is the illusion because the only reason He's there is

  636. because your mind has not been transformed. If your mind

  637. becomes transformed and renewed, then it doesn't matter what people preach.

  638. He who the Son sets free is free indeed.

  639. And so the problem is this stay right that law.

  640. The problem is this.

  641. The problem people care more about the custody than they

  642. do your freedom. They want you to pay for what

  643. you did. Yeah, they want you to pay. And they

  644. want you to pay bad for what you did. And

  645. because you're still gifted, and God forgave you, and you're

  646. still gifted, and God opened up a door for you

  647. and you're still gift. It in God keep making a

  648. way for you. You're still gifted. And God keeps just

  649. for some strange reason, as wrong as you were, God

  650. still keeps doing it over and all.

  651. The and all the and all the and all the

  652. and ol the and all the how is that? And

  653. why is that? It is not I, but it is

  654. the Christ that lives within me.

  655. You cannot do it alone. You have to have Jesus.

  656. Look at somebody, tell them I got Jesus. I got Jesus.

  657. I got Jesus, I got I got Jesus. I got

  658. cheeses that ain't a good neighbor of pine. Somebody that

  659. would tell him, I got Jesus, I got Jesus. Has

  660. he done anything for you? Has he made a way

  661. for you? Has he cracked open the door? Has he

  662. healed your body? Has he fitched the pills? Has he

  663. done something for you? Somebody shot, I got Jeesus. Here's

  664. what's amazing to me. The law, the Mosaic law, the

  665. judy is love Moses. Moses transcribed the law. And then

  666. when you keep reading Ezekiel and Deuteronomy, not easy, excuse me,

  667. but Exodus doudon Leviticus. It's more than ten commandments. It

  668. moves over six hundred and thirteen laws, and of the

  669. sixteen hundred and thirteen laws. If you read it in

  670. the text that we read, you would see what it

  671. says the just shall live by faith. But if you

  672. read it, you also saw where it says that those

  673. that live by the law had to live by the law.

  674. So if if you broke one law, you broke all

  675. six hundred and thirteen laws. So you can just break

  676. one and be all right. If you broke one, you

  677. broke them all. And then you have to go get

  678. a substitute.

  679. A lamb, a bird, a ram, a bullock, a bird.

  680. Pay for it, give it to the priests, let the

  681. priest do the sacrificing. Then you beat issued forgiveness or

  682. an escape goat. All of that stuff had to happen

  683. just for you to get forgiveness. And if you broke one,

  684. you broke them all. And so here we are with

  685. the law. The law is just a constant reminder that

  686. you are not good enough. And so that's why churches

  687. preach the law all the time because the law they

  688. want you to know you're not good enough, and they

  689. want you to keep coming back and keep coming back,

  690. and keep coming back, and keep coming back, and keep

  691. coming back and keep coming back and keep coming back.

  692. When in reality, if he fulfilled the law, you already

  693. have everything that you need. But the problem is this fasted, Well,

  694. are you giving us a license to sin? Nobody said

  695. nothing about sin. We're talking about Jesus. We're talking about

  696. that he set up a system that was better than

  697. the first system. He's not saying that that system was

  698. not right. He's not saying that even that that system

  699. was wrong. But what he's saying is that system itself

  700. was perfect. According to Hebrew seven. He said that system

  701. was perfect, but it did not perfect anybody.

  702. Are you here with me?

  703. He said, though the system, though the law was perfect,

  704. it could not be It could not perfect you. The

  705. only way for you to be made perfect was for

  706. him to fulfill the law. And once he fulfill the law,

  707. he gave you freedom. And then what what's this?

  708. Moses, who's that law?

  709. It happens four hundred and thirty years after Abraham has

  710. been given the Covenant. Abraham was given the Covenant before.

  711. There was a law. That's no law.

  712. But Abraham trust God and believe that he's going to

  713. be blessed in his entire family. It's going to be blessed.

  714. So if that's the case, the third thing I'm gona

  715. taking is the final thing is you have an unstoppable promise.

  716. You have an unstoppable promise. You have an unstoppable promise,

  717. and he who promised you is faithful. What does that

  718. mean that even though the law was established after the promise,

  719. the law wasn't strong enough to stop the promise. It

  720. could nullify what God told Abraham.

  721. The law didn't even exist.

  722. But then when he told Abraham, listen, you are going

  723. to be a father of many nations. Your whole nation

  724. is going to be blessed because of you. If the

  725. nation is going to be blessed and we walk it

  726. into a system that calls us to.

  727. Be cursed, is god lyon. No, he's not lying. What

  728. God is saying.

  729. I solved problems before there was ever a problem. That's

  730. why the Bible says that the lamb was slain before

  731. the foundations of the world, that when the situation comes,

  732. Jesus already has an answer. And the truth of the

  733. matter is Jesus is the answer. The reason why you

  734. can't make the law work is because you were never

  735. supposed to. Jesus was Jesus was supposed to fulfill it.

  736. Jesus was supposed to change it. Jesus set it up

  737. so that you didn't have to keep going back to

  738. a lamb. You could go back to the lamb of God.

  739. I wish I had a witness.

  740. Sit here, grab somebody by the hand and tell them

  741. you got a real lamb. Oh, tell them you got

  742. the Lamb of God who comes to take away the

  743. sins of the world. Hop five somebody and tell him

  744. my God, Jesus. Oh, I wish I could preach it

  745. like a philis, but I gotta let this thing go.

  746. But just grab somebody by the head and put that

  747. dogin in the house so I can hear it like

  748. you did for praise and worship. Grab somebody by the

  749. head and tell that neighbor the reason why I can't.

  750. Be stopped.

  751. Is because I have an unstoppable God. And tell them

  752. it doesn't matter what I'm going through. I came to

  753. let hell know that I got a serious praise on

  754. the inside. And I don't know who I'm talking to

  755. it here. But if there's a real praiser in Tulsa,

  756. crab that neighbor and tell him, neighbor, I feel like

  757. giving God a real praise. Tell him I've been through hell,

  758. been through storm and raid, been through sickness, been through

  759. financial problems, but through.

  760. It all, God.

  761. Steve pulled me out. Have I got a witness in here,

  762. Snatch that neighbor, if you're not ashamed in here, crap

  763. him by the hand and just rock them real quick

  764. and tell them, neighbor, this is how God come bring

  765. you out. He's going to rock you through trouble. He's

  766. going to rock you through the pain. He's going to

  767. rock you through the divorce. He's going to rock you

  768. through trauma. Tell somebody, come on organist.

  769. And ride with me. Have I gotta praise here?

  770. You got an unstoppable promise that means that what you

  771. have Hell can't stop it, demons can't stop it. It's

  772. just an illusion. He's trying to play tricks on you.

  773. But look at somebody and tell them tricks is for kids.

  774. Have I gotta witness here? And I'm not a kid.

  775. I belong to the Most High God. And he walks

  776. with me, and he talks with me, and he tells

  777. me that I am his own. Have I gotta witness here?

  778. It's just an illusion, It's not real.

  779. It's just in your mind. But if you can just sex.

  780. Yourself and come to yourself and tell hell, I am

  781. walking with the key, I'm unstoppable. I got too much power,

  782. I got too much of an Anna say it. I

  783. just believe that if you grab somebody that wants to

  784. praise God, something's gonna hit your house before you get

  785. home today.

  786. If they don't want to praise it, man.

  787. Get away from m But grab somebody that feels like

  788. praising God and tell them you don't know how bad

  789. I need a miracle in my house, in my body,

  790. in my family. I need a miracle. And God, God

  791. is unstoppable. He's going to heal your body. He's gonna

  792. save your soul. He's gonna fix your credit, he's gonna

  793. fix your mind. Say, I want to know who feel

  794. God in here right now? If you just take one

  795. more second and look at somebody.

  796. Who threw their hands up and say the neighbor. God

  797. put me by you.

  798. For a reason, because both of us are unstoppable.

  799. And where.

  800. That's true or three caredd in his name.

  801. Now he is.

  802. Right in the middle. He's in the middle. Love to

  803. your headache, he's in the middle. Love of your finances,

  804. he's in the middle, Love your sickness. He's in the medal.

  805. He's in the middle.

  806. He's in the medal saying it is.

  807. You cannot. Oh my God, you cannot do it on

  808. your own. He said, the Lord, it wasn't enough. So

  809. I had a better coming.

  810. Only I could fulfill it, he said, But I'm here

  811. now and there's nothing that can stop me. You have

  812. a God that is unstoppable, So you got to understand

  813. there's some of you in this room that have given

  814. up on some of the things God told you you

  815. were supposed to do because you have a law mentality.

  816. You think you have to take merits steps to get there.

  817. While I understand the responsibility in the natural, the consequences

  818. that are in the natural, but you got to understand it.

  819. That is just for humanity.

  820. And a lot of times we can't see eternity because

  821. we don't understand it. We're trapped in time, and time

  822. is all you know. And because of time, you don't

  823. want to be in shame for an enormous amount of time.

  824. You don't want to operate in guilt an enormous amount

  825. of time, and you've blocked your own self.

  826. From being what God called you to be.

  827. They are dreams that you had that you gave up

  828. on because you don't believe you deserve it. And you've

  829. penalized yourself along with what others have said you should

  830. not do, and you cannot be and you do not deserve.

  831. And I want you to come to this altar.

  832. Not gonna take a long time, but if that's you

  833. and I'm talking to you, I want you to get

  834. up and I want you to move right now, because you're.

  835. In this room.

  836. You in the stands, come down. No time to sit

  837. there and look at us. Come down. It's just an illusion.

  838. You may have done wrong. Yeah, people do penalize us, yes,

  839. and I'm not saying that's not supposed to happen.

  840. But what you gotta understand is you got a God

  841. that fork gives you and we'll restore you. And he

  842. is not like man. So I want you to get

  843. down here quickly. Come come, come, come, come, come, I

  844. see you. Come on, get on the keyboard for me,

  845. real nicely.

  846. Come up, louder, come on, come on, come on, come on,

  847. come come, come, come, come on, come on.

  848. We want to pray for you.

  849. If y'all just hold time, give these people the opportunity

  850. to talk to God.

  851. Come on, come on if you can.

  852. And they're not ashamed as you touch that person next

  853. to you, let them know they're not the only one.

  854. Say it. Unthought he had you, you got away. He

  855. wanted you to wrestle with yourself.

  856. Right.

  857. He is a lion.

  858. What you're going through, it's just an illusion. God, he

  859. has something for you, So why don't you.

  860. Reaton?

  861. That's Jesus.

  862. Can you touch Jesus? Can you touch Jesus. Can you

  863. touch Jesus.

  864. He wants.

  865. To touch you. Lord, this is all prophetic. Okay, can

  866. you touch Jesus? Here are it's to touch you?

  867. Here?

  868. He are you more you, That's just what he does.

  869. I want you to hold that hand, squeeze it, and

  870. I want you to know God loves you, and I

  871. don't care what you did. Brother, I don't care what

  872. you did. Sirs.

  873. There may be people here that disapprove, but God loves

  874. you so much that he will love you through that disapprovement.

  875. He'll love you through the shame. He'll love you through

  876. the guilt, because that old Covenant is just an illusion.

  877. He said. You don't need that guardian anymore because you've

  878. put on the close of Christ.

  879. You have the clothes of Christ. And I'm looking at

  880. some of you right now as God is dealing with you.

  881. I want you to forgive yourself. I don't want you

  882. to give yourself another chance. You deserve freedom, You deserve

  883. to be everything that you desire to be. And you

  884. may have something on your record, but I serve the

  885. kind of God that will get you hired with a record.

  886. I serve the kind of God that will wash your record.

  887. I serve the kind of God that's got people looking

  888. for people like you, with a record.

  889. That says it doesn't matter what man has said. Ah

  890. Am unstoppable. Glory to God.

  891. Father touched them now as they're this altar, as we

  892. sweep this room with your presence. Give them the courage

  893. of a thousand lions to rule in a season where

  894. they've kept quiet. Give them their raw back, give them

  895. their hollow back, give them their power back, give them

  896. their courage back, give them their joy back, give them

  897. their pushback. Give them everything that they lost in this

  898. past season because of what people said. I rebuke their

  899. own mind that's telling them they don't deserve it. The

  900. devil is a lie. He who the Son sets free

  901. is free. Indeed, you're a free woman. You are a

  902. free man. This is your season to step into your future.

  903. We're not waiting for things to be right. Now is

  904. the time, Glory to God. I hear the spirit of

  905. the Lord saying, now is the time. This is your

  906. hour to trust God and not go back and forth.

  907. Take him at his word and believe that it's already done.

  908. And when you walk through the fire, when you walk

  909. through the flood, when you walk through the rivers. It

  910. will not overtake you, but you're gonna have to walk

  911. through it. The river's gonna stay there, the fire is

  912. gonna stay there, the water is gonna stay there. But

  913. He's given you an unstoppable force to keep it from

  914. drowning you and burning you up. I want you to

  915. turn that handle loose, and I want you to praise

  916. God for your right now.

  917. You unstoppable, You got power. You're way more annoughty than

  918. what you think you are. You got way more grace

  919. on your life than what you think you have.

  920. You got something that hell is afraid of. But until

  921. you recognize that, you won't use it. I said praising.

  922. Don't worry about them you're praising. Open your mouth and

  923. praise it. If you want it, open your mouth and

  924. praise it.

  925. No time to be cool.

  926. This is a time to shout unto the lawn with

  927. a voice of triumph. Let hell, No, I'm still here.

  928. I'm not committing suicide. I'm not moving to another city.

  929. I'm going to open my business right here. I'm gonna

  930. finish school right here. I'm gonna get married again right here.

  931. I'm gonna start.
