Felibicus, chapter number one.
-
Yeah, beginning at verse number one, and we'll read through
-
verse number eleven. And the Bible says in paula intended,
-
it's the servants of Jesus Christ to all the saints
-
in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi. So he's speaking
-
to the saints and it's also speaking with the bishops
-
and the deacons. This ill is an established church. You
-
got to member that the apostle Paul was wise enough, uh,
-
for this gentile church and this church that was coming up,
-
to establish a system, an organization, a structure in which
-
he called church. And there's different churches. First of all,
-
churches started in homes, from house to house, they went
-
breaking bread called fellowship. Okay, they went from house to
-
house breaking bread, and they had fellowships transformed into a
-
hub and then to our nice sanctuary in which we
-
have today. So he began to put order in the
-
church and to ordained bishops and deacons for the administration
-
of the church. All right, let me not stay that
-
too long. Ambisi and deacons are not special gifts. They
-
are officers for administration. Superintendent came oversee you, that's for administration. Purposes.
-
I'm first a pastor. Hallelujah, because that's my gift.
-
He said.
-
Grace be unto you and peace from God, our Father,
-
and from the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God
-
upon every remembrance of you talking to this Pacific church.
-
Say this Pacific church, he says, always in every prayer
-
of mine for you all, making request with joy, he said,
-
when I'm pray for y'all, I pray for y'all.
-
I'm happy to pray for y'all. It's some mother churches.
-
I pray for a man. I almost had a fit.
-
All the hell they.
-
Was going through and all the stuff that we had
-
to go out and try to fix and fix. Except listen,
-
I had a fit. It was a burden.
-
But for you guys, you guys have made it easy
-
for me to.
-
Pray for you, So he said, making request with joy.
-
Why for your fellowship in the gospel from the first
-
day until now, Being confident is everything that he would
-
be gone had begun a good work, and you will
-
perform it or complete it unto the day of Jesus Christ.
-
Even that it is right for me, he says, it's
-
right for me to think of this of you all,
-
because I have you in my heart and as much
-
as both in my bonds. And then the defense and
-
confirmation of the Gospel. Ye all are partakers of my grace,
-
for God is my witness. How greatly I long after
-
you and in the bowels of Jesus Christ. And this
-
I pray that your love may abound yet more and
-
more knowledge and in judgment, that you may approve things
-
that are excellent, that she may be sincere and without
-
offense to the day of Christ, been filled with the
-
fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ. Until the
-
glory and praise of God. Somebody shot a man from
-
that particular scripture. I would like to use a thought
-
because when you look at this book, this book only
-
has four chapters. In the four chapters, it has about
-
one hundred and twenty verses. Within the one hundred and
-
twenty verses, there are sixteen to twenty verses that talks
-
about joy. It really reflects the attitude of the pastor
-
towards his church or this particular church. And he says,
-
I could not do what I have done without your support.
-
And so I would like to title this message cornanea
-
what a fellowship. Tell your neighbors and neighbor Cornania, what
-
a fellowship? Say today you gonna find out what Cornornia is. Oh,
-
you gonna learn something. Holly Nujah hoighy knew Yah Cornaneia,
-
what a fellowship.
-
Father.
-
We thank you now for your loving kindness, your tender mercies.
-
I thank you for what you've given you a servant
-
on today to serve through your people. I thank you
-
for the sweet community of the Holy God. Said God,
-
this word cannot give life without the spirit of God.
-
So I thank you right now God, that the word
-
of God is spirit, and in this life always it
-
comes out of my mouth on today, Thank you God.
-
It would touch the hearts and go into the deep
-
treasures of the heart to produce a harvest like number before.
-
So help us now in the name of Jesus, we praise.
-
Somebody.
-
Shout a man, I write high, five at least seven people,
-
and tell them, what a fellowship, what a fellowship? Come out,
-
talk to him real loud, Come on, alright, come out
-
saying lie, said loud, what a fellowship? What a fellowship?
-
My brother, Let's break it down. Let's break it down,
-
Let's go to work. Let's break it down. What a fellowship?
-
You know, I wanted to name this type. I wanted
-
to really tightle this this this, this discermon ain't no church.
-
Like the one I got.
-
I did, I did. I didn't know if y'all could
-
handled that, you know, but I should have known better.
-
You'll know, knowing Vip, you know that we we could
-
have done that. You know I could have done that,
-
you know, like I ain't no woman, you know like
-
the one I got. You know. And then when you
-
think about your children, there's no other children, even though
-
you may celebrate other children, regardless of that, there is
-
no other children like the one you have. I mean sacrifice,
-
the commitment, the dedication, the devotion, the sense of forgiveness
-
to you know, look beyond our faults and still meet
-
everyone of our needs. There is not a fellowship in here.
-
That's not a company. That's not a family in here.
-
That's not a perfect family. There's no perfect parents, there's
-
no perfect children, there's no perfect spouse.
-
Can I get a witness in here? Hey man?
-
When we come together, we come at odds with one
-
another because we come with our differences, and with our differences,
-
either we can tear things up or we can build
-
things up.
-
Oh boy, which y'all help me here.
-
It's okay for us to be different because we different anyway.
-
I'm not trying to be like you, and you don't
-
have to be like me. I'm equipped a certain way,
-
you equip a certain way. There's some places in my
-
life that I'm strong and you're weak, and you're weak
-
and I'm strong, and vice versa. But there is no
-
perfect relationships. No matter when people come together, we're gonna
-
have some problems. And either we can tear each other
-
down or we can use our differences to build each
-
other rep I wish I had a witness in here,
-
so when they make batteries, minister women, I found out
-
that there's a positive and the negative and it can't
-
work together unless you have the two together in order
-
to make a charge. And if you learn how to
-
work together with your differences, you're gonna learn how to
-
make a charge. Because you ain't got to pray like
-
I pray. You ain't got to sing like I sing.
-
Come on, you ought to just be you. And if
-
you don't sing, don't sing, clap your hands somebody shot.
-
Clap your hands and say, hey man, I'm just missing.
-
What do you like to pray?
-
Holly? Do ya? So we have these differences again, we
-
can have these differences. You gotta find a way that
-
how do my differences? How do our differences support one
-
another so that we can improve? How can we break
-
these differences together so that we can be productive in
-
our relationship Because it's impossible for two to walk together
-
unless they agree. And there is a term, a term
-
knowledge that we don't agree. We are to learn how
-
to disagree and still go with the flow. We got
-
so many people breaking up and breaking down, and systems
-
breaking up and breaking down because of the differences.
-
We're hell long life for him to talk. I don't
-
like listen. This is what's wrong with the church.
-
Man, I'm a mother polers, I'm Paul, he said, Man,
-
which one of y'all was baptized?
-
Which one which one of y'all didn Christ? Did we?
-
Did we die for y'all? He say no, It was
-
Christ who died, died for you all. So we want
-
to celebrate our fellowship. Hey man, here a victory and
-
praise for leadership success. When we think about Cornania, it
-
is company known as fellowship. If you take it notes
-
right there down and there's a company known as fellowship.
-
And if it's not just the fellowship, and we'll get
-
into deeper details about where the fellowship is, but it's
-
also can be it's a synonym of communion, communion to
-
mean to break bread with one another, to have communion
-
with each other. Thirdly, is can be considered a partnership.
-
And when we think about these three things, the fellowship,
-
the communion, and then we think about the partnership, it's
-
all's involves that when we together, when we together, then
-
we we participate with one another. It's not right for
-
the praise seemed to be praising God and those in
-
the audience is just looking at him and says, if
-
this is a show.
-
Howley knwya? How they knew ya?
-
That even when God blew into Adam, something had to
-
come back to God.
-
Oh I wish I had somebody up in here, all right.
-
It's a reciprocal thing that if something is blown in you,
-
if something is given to you, you ought to be
-
willing to give back. If God has been good to you,
-
would you give him praise God had been good to you?
-
Will you clap your hands? If God had been good
-
to you? With you open your mouth and tell him,
-
thank you, how to do your it's reciproc He's on
-
a whole nother lot.
-
Other than us.
-
I don't know if we can really give him what
-
he needs, what he deserved, but we ought to be
-
able to give him what he acts for.
-
Oh, I wish I had somebody up in here the
-
Bible of the plants.
-
Let everything that have breath. That's what I want, what
-
I want. If you got breadth, if you got breath
-
in your body, if you got breath in your body,
-
what new card requires of you to give him? Praise?
-
Ah?
-
This fellowship of this community, in this partnership is involves
-
for us to participate with one another.
-
It's wrong for me.
-
You know, I'm the kind of person that if if
-
I cook, somebody else are to wash the dishes.
-
Come on, now, how they do you?
-
I'm the kind of person that if I bring home
-
the bacon, somebody else are cooking.
-
Come on, somebody, come on, man, they do you? How
-
they do you? Come on?
-
If I'm doing the laundry, somebody want to be able
-
to clean up the living rooms? They got the trash?
-
Come on, somebody, how to do you?
-
And our house?
-
It shouldn't just be one person doing all of the work.
-
Mama's mama. You should not be doing all the work.
-
I hate to.
-
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, daddy, daddy, you should not be doing
-
all the work by yourself. Daddy. Then I said, right,
-
Doddy too. All right? And if you got any children
-
that were born of a man, did I say that
-
right of a man? You didn't make that baby. Oh,
-
I'm gonna get in trouble money. You didn't make that
-
by everybody yourself. So quit depending on your grandma to
-
raise that baby. That is not her baby, that's her
-
grind baby. I know she done got soft and he
-
done got soft along the way with the grand baby.
-
They get away with everything, now huh. But when they
-
get away with everything, you cause the other people to
-
not take responsibility for what their part is in the relationship.
-
I wish you clap your heads right there. I know
-
y'all don't like that. Hardly knew you.
-
And if you can't catch up with him, but he work.
-
All right, and he don't show up on the doorstop
-
and bring no papers, no milk, similart and that other
-
kind of milk they drink hip for me and I
-
knew I got a couple of week. If they don't
-
do that that some kind.
-
Of way or the other.
-
You ought to get some child support. You ought to
-
get a little cut of that chat if he get
-
paid every week or she get paid every week. Because
-
that's some single fathers too, they get paid every week.
-
You want to look for your cut. Matter of fact,
-
you want to be right up in their face street.
-
Where my cut at? Come on, somebody I do.
-
So it's about participation, Okay, I don't want to participation,
-
but sharing with one another. It's about building community communications
-
in unity. We ought to be able to have one
-
at least one or two decent conversations without argument.
-
Oh I wish I had a ah, y'all, don't wanna.
-
Colinela involves from a practical, practical perspective, but also spiritual.
-
Is spiritual communion.
-
So on First Sunday we do what we call the Eucharists,
-
which is founding First Corinthians one in nine when we
-
come together to break bread one with the other. But
-
as we break bread one another, that's really showing our
-
fellowship with one another, because we are to wait on
-
each other before we take it. That's unit till okay,
-
somebody's our community.
-
We are to communicating unity.
-
To make sure we wait for one another because we
-
getting ready to partake in a fellowship, and our fellowship
-
is with Christ.
-
That we keep his death in remembrance.
-
Everybody, Now, if you're not if you don't have a
-
deep relationship and you ain't got to have, just remember
-
this that when you take communion, nobody can judge you.
-
We just do it with us. God is your judge.
-
Can I say that one more time? I say, God
-
is your judge. He know what you did yesterday, you
-
know what you did this morning, and he know what
-
you're gonna do tomorrow. So you are to examine yourself,
-
not compared to me or anybody else. Come on, examine yourself.
-
See if you start examining yourself, other people that got
-
examine you. And I said, douya, huh. Listen, I know
-
I ain't the best at all that, this, that and
-
the other. I know that I acknowledge that I've examined myself.
-
I'm definitely not the best singer. But I will sing
-
out loud, I'll sing in your choir. I'll just start
-
taking over your song. I'll take over the quash if
-
I like it. I ain't like that part, ah, But
-
the other part I ain't like it right now. I
-
don't never know all the word, but I sure will
-
take your poor huh. And I'm not intimidated by people
-
who are better than me. I'm I need to be
-
around folks that's better than me so that I can
-
see something so that I can't grow. If you the
-
only one that you the best in your group in everything, listen,
-
they gotta be sucking.
-
The juice out of you.
-
You ought to be exhausted because all everybody got a
-
call on you to get the answer. Come on, somebody,
-
if you are to ort to be somebody in the
-
group that you ought to be able to ask them,
-
what do you think? Oh? I wish I had a
-
neighbor right there. Hallelujah, Glory to God. So there's you.
-
Charrisis communion this also meaning the breaking of bread. I
-
remember the Old Testament and Acts. Remember Acts two and
-
forty two that they went from house to house breaking bread.
-
You know, like we come together right here breaking bread.
-
We have the Apostles doctrine, and then we shared with
-
one another. In other words, whatever you need it, I
-
had it, so I was able to give it. Let's
-
get back to that church that's quit being so stingy
-
in church. Well, let's quit being so selfish in church.
-
Let's become selfless. Let's be able to you know, have
-
a hand helping, a helping hand to help somebody lift
-
their hands up. Listen, we're not handing out, no handouts.
-
We don't want to cripple nobody. Or I'll teach you
-
something now. We ain't trying to cripple nobody. But we're
-
trying to give you a hand up. And every now
-
and again people come to you because they need a
-
hand up. You know who's coming out for a handout
-
because you done gave to them the last thirty times.
-
But the people that showed that showed up, that need
-
a hand up, you ain't never help them because you
-
don't exhausted everything you had on the ones who oh, okay,
-
well shout shout horghly do you shout shayl shout hordly?
-
Do you? I hardly do you.
-
I'm gonna help somebody with their hands to be lifted up.
-
It's also an opportunity for fellowship with one another. And
-
that's why the bug of Hebrews seeing twenty five said,
-
do not for sake, tell your neighbors, do not forsake,
-
quit listen to these people on Facebook, and quit.
-
Listen to other church people. Church people got it wrong.
-
They knew, they knew because they ain't never study this
-
word colonel.
-
They ain't study cordoneal.
-
They don't know the details of the deeps of the
-
Greek word of colonia. They got this American thing that
-
you just choose and just crisis in your heart. That's
-
why you ain't getting no better because you got them
-
in your heart. You're hiding in a cave. Come on, somebody,
-
Holly Nujah, how you gonna get better? And you just
-
hiding and hanging out by yourself. You telling me you've
-
been your only teacher. Somebody had to teach you, Holly Nujah.
-
Well you know that's the white man book he is.
-
But you got some white man language in you too.
-
Callin Juja if you live in the Maryland, I don't
-
care what you saying God, what your believe on. Somebody
-
taught you you didn't just get this osmosis out of
-
the air. Hallelujah, even Jesus, Come on, somebody, Halley Lujah
-
had to go to the wilderness. Holley, do you had
-
to learn obedience?
-
Come on through the things that need? Something?
-
That is that right? Somebody shot a man? Or this
-
good teaching right here. Clap your hands, Halley, do you
-
clap your hands?
-
Listen?
-
This here involves actors sharing, sharing resources to help those
-
that in need. So and it's important that disministry is
-
a ministry. We ought to be looking forward to meeting
-
other people's needs. If y'all want to think about the
-
definition of ministry, Ministry is the meeting of the people
-
where there is a need. If you want to ever
-
want to start, you want to start ministry. Ministry is
-
that finding people where they are in need, and so
-
you minister to that need. Come on with somebody hallelujah,
-
So you minister it to that need and involves encurriaging,
-
inspiring and empowering to leadership, support and ministry. Somebody shout
-
what a a fellowship? Come on, shout it again, what
-
a fellowship? Now? You can have all of this stuff
-
on walk and have it on paper. You can have
-
it on the books until it's active. It's nothing because
-
faith without works is dead. Holley, dojah, you can say
-
what you're gonna do all day, but you need to
-
do it. Don't don't tell me, don't show me. I'm
-
for a Missouri baby. You got to show me what
-
you got, Holly Nojah. I tell people all the time. Boy,
-
when I get on that dumbino tape, you gotta show
-
me you're talking and all that and almicht old baby,
-
you know, and I know bad when you get on
-
there yesterday. Boy, I want some folks that I so bad.
-
I talked so bad to him. I would talk to
-
him and doing it cause like y'all talk trash, but
-
you ain't got nothing to back it up. Yeah, we're
-
gonna go wall then we gonna do this.
-
We gonna do that.
-
W every the Lord put it on our spirit. Well,
-
you about to get active cause he show ain't gonna
-
push you out there. Huh. You got to show him
-
something to tell you that. You got to show him something,
-
Holleyluja corner. Now it's deed whathing just soiza right there down.
-
We ain't coming just together to have a someone group together.
-
Gotta be some prayer in that. Come on, somebody, fellowship.
-
Ain't just pot lucks. You done turned it around. Everything
-
we talk about fellowship. We think fellowship. Fellowship is what
-
we do in the fellowship hall. The devil is a lie, hallelujah.
-
Fellowship is any time we come together to share it
-
with one another, the common goals and purposes in which
-
God has placed in my life.
-
Amen.
-
In other words, connor Neial is a shared bond for unity,
-
love and active contribution. Somebody shot a man outside of that,
-
connor Neill is a partnership. Somebody shot partnership again.
-
Let me just tell you, I can't do this by myself.
-
I mean, I'm up here. All my medicine come up here.
-
They do what I do.
-
Them, babies can do what I do, Okay. I'm just
-
called to do it. So I'm standing here and I
-
do what I do, okay. But nobody can do what
-
we do without our partnership. We cannot be successful without
-
our partnership. You know what partnership does. Partnership is that man,
-
if two are together, they're stronger than the one.
-
Oh I wish I had somebody. Hallelujah.
-
When we talk about our fellowship, the reason we're strong
-
because we connected together with the link together. Hallelujah. We're
-
threaded together. It makes us stronger when we work it together. Hallelujah.
-
In other words, it discriputs the weight. Woo. I wish
-
I had somebody up in here, hallelujah. I said, it
-
discripules the weight. Everything ain't got to be on me.
-
And you crazy if you're gonna let it be on you.
-
You crazy that you got to do everything passing you
-
crazy if you got to open up the door and
-
sweep the floor and drive the vand man, you got
-
some other gifted people in that church. Why would you
-
prevent film from partnering with you. You may not be
-
an evangelist, but there's some EVANGELI.
-
You may not profit us out, but I ain't an
-
say that I'm not some profits profits.
-
Man, you can't do tell you you can't do everything
-
by yourself.
-
Huh.
-
So when we have partnership, when we talking about the
-
way this weight is my grace. In other words, we've
-
been graf grace in certain kind of ways that you
-
do your part. I do my part, and it brings balance.
-
Anybody need balance in that relationship and might need balance
-
on their time and their job. Did anybody need balance
-
with God? I just talking to brother Tim another day,
-
he said, Man, I have to be a balance in church,
-
and you know, in what we do in real life.
-
It should should be we should not become to church
-
twenty four seven, three hundred and sixty five days a week.
-
Gotta be sometime. You gotta spend some time with your
-
wife and enjoy life. I don't know about you, but
-
we ain't listening to the Christian music in the bedroom.
-
I don't know what y'all talking about. The devil.
-
There's a lot, Holly Nudie. Tell your neighbor. It's a balance, man,
-
that's a different kind of love. Baby, I ain't know yet.
-
All right, I got hot right there. I'll quit.
-
Man to God, what's rother? But you need to bring
-
some I'm hey, you need to bring some balance, man,
-
Holly Noya. You love the Lord, but you're gonna leave
-
them kids at home? Holly nuya. Come on now now,
-
if they don't live with you, all right, I said,
-
if they don't live with you or RD, you can't
-
tell them nothing.

-
scripture on the refrigerator. Yeah, everybody got one of them.

-

I dare you get up and go to work, and
-

-
scratching their feet and scratching their head, and you going
-

-
won't even say hello to you. Come on we Oh God,
-
holly noya. People don't even people don't even speak to
-
you no more. So I'm appreciate it. Huh holly nuja.
-
The worst thing we can do for people, Brother, tell them,
-
is take people for granted. Huh. So the moment we
-
start start taking for granted, we started losing the value
-
of what they who they are, and what they have.
-
Oh I wish I had a neighbor up in here. Hallelujah.
-
Blurry to God. See y'all can get used to me,
-
But I might go to another churin. They say, pastor,
-

-
about a new preacher. Y'all getting used to listen. You

-
And I ain't comparing them to another church. I'm just
-
saying I have an intimate, deep relationshetship with you, all
-
that I have with anybody else. Oh God, Come on, somebody, hollylujah,
-
Holly Nujah, Glory to God. I have a deeper relationship
-
with my wife than I have with other women. Can
-
I get a neighbor up in here? I have a
-
deeper relationship with my spiritter's.
-
Time than I have with others.
-
Come on, give God praise right there, Hallelujah, tell your name. Well,
-
you got a deeper relationship, rather you realize or not.
-
The devil is a lot to talk about you treating
-
everybody the same, the devil. Come on, The devil is
-
a shait that Nah, you ain't listen. Joseph was favored.
-
It was twelve of them. Then why is Joseph? See
-
that's what happened. Because if we think everybody else deserved
-
to say it, we start.
-
I want to kill people I had knew you.
-
We don't. We want to start killing for I had
-
a duke one time in the navy, the navy man.
-
This boy had a homeboy, had a homeboy, and homeboy
-
moved overseas, came to our ship.
-
We became homeboy came close. This dude came up. He
-
came up and he said, hey man, he called me outside.
-
He was crying. Wow, man, because he can be your friend.
-
And my friend.
-
Do you think I took your man.
-
Boy, I wouldn't say then that, Sister Bibby, I I
-
almost slapped him, lap on him. Listen, we're different, we
-
bring different things, we value different things, hardly do you.
-
And so we have a fellowship because we have a
-
deeper relationship with one another.
-
Amen.
-
Another word to distribut weight. Not only that, it supports
-
each other in struggles. I had to go back to that,
-
and I'm sorry I had to flip my paper. I'm
-
mother shot it to not all right, Listen, it supports
-
you in struggle. If you with somebody that ain't supporting
-
you while you struggling, you might not well.
-
No, I don't even say that. Just know that you
-
are not in fellowship.
-
Y'all like they would say, lack each other, y'all lack lack,
-
y'all lack each other, y'all some things lacking, but in
-
each other.
-
Can I get a witness up in here, hallelujah?
-
If you got somebody who's in room of fellowship with you, listen,
-
you out of your shoulder that they can lean on.
-
Oh I wish I had somebody here halleluja teaching this morning, halenluja.
-
Not all this shit. You be able to lead on God.
-
You ought to be able to lean on your brother
-
or your sister. Hallelujah. The barble declared, let the weak
-
say that I'm strong, but that may come some areas
-
of your life. You might be weak and don't see
-
no strength hallelujah. And you need somebody strong in your
-
life to be a leaning post. Hallelujah. Why don't you
-
turn to your neighbor real quick and say, nay, I
-
need you and you need me. Hallelujah. In other words,
-
this right here creates, Hey, this right here creates. It
-
creates a safety net. Come on somebody, hallelujah. You don't
-
look at people when they fall. You don't, Oh boy,
-
I'm talking to easy. You don't criticize folk when they fall. Hallelujah.
-
They may have failed in one area, but you are
-
not called them a failure because if God can change Paul,
-
come on somebody, hallelujah and knock him off his bees
-
or hurt bees. Surely, if the light shine on the inside,
-
come on somebody. The reason I said the light shine
-
on the inside because nobody else seen the light. Poh card,
-
y'all ought to give card preak not all that couldn't
-
see the light.
-
But it wasn't blind when he's seen it. They ain't
-
gonna see light when you blind somebody.
-
Y'all wake up.
-
He had a spiritual awakening. Holly do yea.
-
We don't judge the people. We don't listen to be
-
our peek. You don't judge nobody. You don't listen because
-
they be. And they come to me and tell me
-
who one of your mother? They blame it on me.
-
You know why they blame it on me. We're in partnership.
-
He had like fifty fifty fifty fifty point partnership.
-
So you did it.
-
I did it.
-
We fitty fitty fit fitted.
-
Come on, now, if you ever see a brother down,
-
sister down, ain't just gonna passing up if you can
-
help them, help him up. Come on, y'all say we're
-
gonna repent and be saved. We need to quit doing that.
-
Come on, let's clear our mind. Come on, will help
-
us one to another? Oh God, I wish I had somebody, hallelujah.
-
Will help us one to another, hallelujah. We'll say, not
-
only that, we also pursue our purposes together. And so
-
when we think about this text interesting texts because now
-
the apostle Paul is writing to the church at Philippi
-
and he says to them, man, listen, I pray for you,
-
and you pray for me. He says, listen, I have
-
you deeply within my heart. He said, I think it's
-
right for me to think life is for you. And
-
he says that because of their fellowship. So the first
-
thing I'd like to just share real quick is that
-
our fellowship leads us to be thankful unto God for you. Hallelujah.
-
Our fellowship leads us to be thankful. Somebody shout faithful,
-
Oh God, yes, yes, just be faithful for whom God
-
has brought to you. Eat the good, spit out the bat, hallelujah. Again.
-
Our fellowship leads us to be thankful for for you,
-
unto God.
-
For you.
-
Here's the scripture, verse number three. He says, I thank you.
-
Look at that.
-
Come on, somebody, but the last time you told him,
-
and I thank you, man, come on, listen every now
-
and again, well, not all the almost all the time.
-
I didn usually take my wife out to eat. I do,
-
I do, and and I use my debit card and
-
and I pay for it. And then after I get
-
through and I get full of fat, and we just
-
had a brown, a.
-
Chocolate trip brown and will greenish. I said, we're gonna.
-
And the thing about us is that we don't have to.
-
We can save money actually eating out because we eat
-
our meals together. So whatever cast fourteen dollars, I said,
-
your meal, I said, we split them. She said, now
-
we're fourteen. I said, no, what my meal was seven dollars.
-
Yours was seven dollars. Come on and I fellowship. But
-
when I do that, after the meal is paid for,
-
I tell my wife, thank you. Listen, especially when you
-
can't pay people. Huh, administry and all of the service
-
that you guys do here at the service listen. Forgive
-
me that I haven't said it publicly enough. Oh God, Haley, Nojah.
-
But every now and again, all the past by and
-
say thank you such the djer, thank you, thank you,
-
thank you, thank you for what you're doing. I'd have
-
known something about you, like the cakes in the corn bread.
-
Appreciate Listen. You just got to have a gratitude of
-
being thankful to other people. Oh I wish I had
-
a nighbor right there, all right. I know I ain't
-
hollering the script. That's all right, so he says, I
-
thank my God. Watch this upon every remembrance of you.
-
Can I tell you this that I don't just thank
-
you in front of your face, but in my spirit
-
and my soul, in my mind and in my body,
-
I'm thanking God for you.
-
The reason being is that because we.
-
Can't be where we are if it had not been
-
for you, Oh God, you ought to clap your head,
-
and you couldn't be where you are if it had
-
not been for us. You ought to give God praise
-
right there, hallelujah. So in remembrance of you, even when
-
I'm not with you, uh huh, I have a spirit
-
of saying thank you, hallelujah. I have a grateful spirit
-
to say thank you and appreciate you and remembers of you,
-
he says. Always watch this in every prayer, mind, he said,
-
every prayer, he says, I rejoice to pray for you
-
with joy. In other words, I ain't condemned nobody in
-
this church now yet. I mean I ain't had no
-
bad word for nobody, not even life. I had a
-
meeting with my family the other day with all of
-
the negative things that came out of that. Regardless of that, listen,
-
the only thing I could do with speak life into them,
-
the only thing I can do in the relationship, and
-
we're gonna be partners in relationship. I can't condemn you
-
because you're the one that's gonna bless me. How am
-
I gonna condemn something that's supposed to bless me?
-
How am I gonna.
-
Condemn a gift? Come on, somebody, Holly nuw ya, you
-
was a gift giving to me. How I'm gonna condemn
-
a gift in which I've been given? In other words,
-
if you my blessing, why would I curse my blessing?
-
Oh boy, y'all, don't hear me up in here, Holly
-
nu yah? Or the happening about five people real quickly
-
it's looked up to heaven and shot Lord, I thank you,
-
Holly nu ya, he says, I rejoice for your fellowship
-
in the gospel. In other words, I said, he appreciate
-
you for helping me in this minute.
-
Pee, thank you.
-
I hadn't said it enough. Thank you so much. I
-
see you. I can't I can't really give you everything,
-
all of the things that's in me, but I want
-
you to know when I said, I'm not just saying
-
it from my mouth. It's not just rolling off of
-
my tongue. It's coming from the seat of my bedding down.
-
Depth took my soul. And I want to say to you,
-
thank you, hallelujah, thank you for what you do. Hallelujah.
-
Thank you.
-
Matter y'all, thank you, thank you hallelujah, because you've been
-
faithful in this gospel. Not only AH now, but when
-
we first started. You've been faithful. Come on, somebody, hallelujah.
-
Can I talk to you and tell you that something
-
folk might have left, but you stayed. See, great faithfulness
-
is not measured when things are easy, holley jujah. Let
-
me say that again. Faithfulness is not measured when things
-
are easy. Faithfulness is measured when you got a little
-
trouble on your hand. Hallelujah.
-
Ah.
-
Faithfulness is tested when you're going through a test. It
-
shows that you're still here. So I thank God that
-
you're still here. Yeah, there was a brother and say, hey, man,
-
I don't understand what all you're going through and what
-
you're facing in your life, but I want to let
-
you know I may not understand what I'm gonna stay
-
here with you, hallelujah, until Cardon do whatever he called
-
you to do, and as soon as you step by
-
the way, I might leave. But outside of that, if
-
you do leave, I'm gonna still be here because I
-
didn't feel this chart the spirit of God. Oh God,
-
y'all don't wanna pray with me. Holleylujah, somebody shot thank
-
you another words. We are attached. I don't really know
-
how I love you, but I also like you, hallelujah.
-
Thank you that you have people of the same mind
-
than you to have the people of the same heart.
-
Thank you that you have a people of the same
-
spirit for feeling the same purpose. I want to tell
-
you that I'm fond of you and I'm grateful for
-
you that you add to my life instead of taking away.
-
I'm protected with you.
-
I not only that, but I gain provision through you
-
and power.
-
I just want to say to you today, thank you
-
when I'm weak, you're strong, hallylujah, and I thank you
-
for your strength even in the times of that I
-
have been weak. I want to recognize your time. I
-
wanna thank you for your time. Not only for your time,
-
but I wanna thank you for your investment, not only
-
for your investment. But I wanna thank you for your knowledge,
-
your mind, and I want to thank you for your
-
it is ye oh. I just want to say thank
-
you today, hallelujah. I want to say thank you I
-

-
for being a hope when I was hopeless. I wish
-
I could talk. Can I just talk? I'm just I
-
just want to Holly, no Ja, I couldn't do this
-
bout myself. In other words, I want to say thank
-
you because you improved me. I want to say thank
-
you because you and an Aye set to me and
-
not a liability. I want to say thank you because
-
you helped me to define myself. I want to say
-
thank you because I'm better with you than without you.
-
So the writer's head is right, he says. He said,
-
it's right when I think of this about you, the
-
writer's head to the Church of Philippa. He said, Man,
-
it's right for me to think about the like this. Yeah, yeah,
-
I think about you like this. I don't know how
-
you think about your church, but this is what I
-
think about victory and praise. Come on, somebody, hollylujah, I think, Holland,
-
I holland esteem you with no seat fell on one
-
person coming to church on the wisday might appas tell it.
-
Let me know, I highly esteem you for who you
-
are and what you do in the fellowship of the gospel.
-
Come on and kill card, Praise, Holly, Loojah, glory the
-
cod In other words, he said that I have you
-
in my heart. And not only do I have you
-
in my heart, but I also have you in my imprisonment.
-
In other words, not only in my heart, but when
-
I'm going through, I know I can call you if
-
I needed to, and you know that you can call
-
me if you need to. Hollylodja. Tell your neighbors the neighbor,
-
what a fellowship? Halleluja? What a fellowship? The class ain't
-
man and confirmed? You can help me to confirm this gospel.
-
And then in the second part of my statement, our
-
fellowship right this now leads us to be confident in
-
God for you. Our fellowship leads us to be confident
-
in God for you, the writer says in VERSI number six.
-
Being confident of this everything that God which begone a
-
good work, and you will performed it into the day
-
of Jesus Christ.
-
Tell your neighbors, A neighbor, God will finish.
-
What he started.
-
Oh, I wish I had somebody in here. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
-
Tell another neighbor. They may not respond. I say, God
-
will finish when he started.
-
Well, how do you know? I know because he said
-
in his Word and Revelations twenty two and thirteen he says,
-
I am Apha.
-
And no made. He says, I am the beginning and
-
the end. He said, I'm the first, Yeah, and the last.
-
He said, I am he which is, which was, and
-
which he is.
-
To come, Tell your neighbors, a neighbor, God will finish
-
what he started.
-
You gotta that it is God which.
-
Work it in you, and you're not working this thing
-
out by yourself. That you are co laborers together with God,
-
reaching those that are lost, equeping those that are found,
-
and sending those that are chosen to fulfill the great commission.
-
Tell your name is a neighbor. I thank God who
-
working in me. Holly know you. I just need a
-
few folks that were testified that I should have been
-
dead and shut up in my grave.
-
I could have lost my mind, almost throw in the town.
-
But I thank God for working in me. Somebody shall yes.
-
Because it had not been for the Lord on my side,
-
my enemies would have destroyed me.
-
They would have came against me.
-
But since God is working for me, they may come
-
in one way, but they got the fleet seven different ways.
-
I thought I had a church in here. Somebody shall, yes,
-
what a fellowship. It is God who started, and it's
-
God who's gonna finish. And I'm comforted up this one thing.
-
Tell your name of this one thing. Tell them this
-
one thing that God wills finished the work he started
-
to work, and he's gonna finish it, because it's God
-
who gave you the will and to do of his
-
good pleasure. Tell your neighbors, say, neighbor, he's able to
-
do exceedingly abundantly above oh that you think. Or as
-

-
you a hundred fruits in these words and the word
-
that comes. Tell your neighbor I pray for you, and
-
you pray for me. What are your braying?
-
Be filled with the fruits of righteousness.
-
In other words, nothing missing, nothing broken, All things in
-
the place working together in.
-
The matter of station of the word of truth. Because
-
God word, some God's word is the truth. Now give
-
him praise for the is.
-
Feel me caught, Feel me, feel me caught, Feel me caught,
-
Feel me caught.
-
Kill me with your knowledge.
-
Kill me.
-
I'm just handy. Kill me with your word.
-
Tell me where another relation. Kill me with your love,
-
Fill me with your peace. Shot, Oh, joy, joy, you
-
feel me.
-
With your joy?
-
Somebody shot yet, Well, here's the breakthrough.
-
If you confess your faults.
-
One to another.
-
I'm not strong right here, but I see that you
-
are confess your faults one with another in the name
-
of Jesus. The reason you've been feeling is because you
-
hadn't shown your weak spots, because you know that if
-
people see your wheat spots, if they gonna try to
-
take advantage of you.
-
But let me tell you one thing. You can't hide
-
your wheat spots. Sooner later they gonna come out and
-
be seen.
-
But if you in partnership, if you in right fellas
-
here men, you ought to be able to pray one
-
for another. I'm about to call now, but the effectual,
-
fevrant prayers of the righteous offading much. You can't stop
-
my prayers. You might can stop my feet, but you
-
can't stop my prayers. I might be in prison, but
-
you can't stop my prayers. I may be in baund
-
but you can't stop my prayers. I might be locked up,
-
but my prayers it is not locked up. Tell your neighbor,
-
said the neighbor. The next time you get in trouble,
-
confess your faults and agree in fellowship with your neighbors,
-
he said, confess your faults. Why should one to another.
-
I know you've been telling God, and that's why they
-
keep going to kys and keep doing somebbatical whatever you
-
call them things. Yeah, you keep doing some baticles. Somebody
-
you spending time with God. You ain't spend enough time
-
in God. You ain't got that much thought, you ain't
-
got that much feelings, and you ain't done that. You
-
got to be led in a wilderness by the spirit
-
of God and not by your own intumission. But when
-
you confess your faults one with another, now you can
-
come together and agree in touch. If you agree in
-
touch on anything on earth, it's already done in the heaven.
-
Tell your neighbor's a neighbor, it's already done. Clap your
-
hands and give God prays. Holly, know you do me
-
a favor, and tell your neighbors a neighbor. God is
-
gonna bless you real cool. He's gonna bless you real cool,
-
and he's gonna do it for his honor and his glory.
-
Somebody's shot. Yes, let's give God some glory. What that fellowship.
-
Let's give God fellowship for this partnership. Let's give God
-
glory for this community in session. Let's give God glory
-
for your brother and your sister.
-
Somebody shall thank you. Let him bank him, let.
-
Him bank you. I they do you, he said, be
-
in field, Wow ben field e d e d.
-
How they do you? When we can agree and touch.
-
It won't be fulfilled until we agree and touch.
-
And I'm not just talking physical hands. I'm talking first
-
of all, in the spirit. We gotta be on one
-
accord in the spirit and only God. Say that only God,
-
only God. I wish I could have brother paracely. I
-
wish I could have fixed myself in the world.
-
But I couldn't.
-
My sin nature, I said, my sin nature. Everybody that
-
was born, was born, was born to woman and born
-
in the sin. My sin for nature would not permit me.
-
Cause even when I thought to do good, even was
-
always with who with your sin for nature, hallelujah, I
-
was no good for anybody. I thought about it. The
-
other day, I said, man, I was a mess. I
-
should have died. I should have I ain't gone. I
-
should have went straight to hell. Hallelujah. I couldn't change
-
my nature, sister maid, at all. See why I couldn't
-
change it. I tried when I thought to do good,
-
I said, when I thought to do good, I try
-
to make plans. Try to make a hen anybody, try
-
to do Try to make plans, try to make a journey.
-
I'm gonna make a violence this time. I'm gonna make
-
a good violence village. The virus I mean at this time.
-
I mean, I'm gonna get it this thing together. I'm
-
gonna get it together. Listen, when I thought to the good,
-
evil always praise as a member. There's a war going
-
on in my members, as a war going on in
-
our members. But thank God, with my mind, I'm able
-
to serve the law of God.
