What does your rock look like

Amen. Amen, Thank you very much. Amen. Amen. Amen. You

I was telling Sir William man Keenan in the back

that when my wife asked me to did I want

to preach? I said, I see, yeah, I don't mind.

And I was showing them that on this piece of

paper you preached on that date, second one, twenty twenty six.

But as he was preaching, it was something that you

said in that sermon that you was preaching that God

gave me this message. So I'm always ready to preach.

I'm always ready to preest because I got this in

the first day of February. On the top of this

piece of paper, I'm set up, you setting and what

he preached that day. God gave me a whole message

out of one word that he said, and so I

just been I wrote it all down. I told Sir

William Wallager, I say, I'm just putting something on paper

so I can communicate it to them. I said, because

God put it in my spirit last month what I

needed to do. So today I want to think, first

of all, my wife. Amen, give honor to my wife,

my co pastor, my first lady, my first real lady. Yep. Hell,

I'm gonna try not to be before you, loan, but

I have some I really believe I have a word today. Yeah,

I got a word today, and I want to make

sure I can give it to you as God has

given it to me. Father God, I thank you first

of all for the blood of Jesus that allows me

to be here. Father. Thank you for the blood of

Jesus that gives me access to all of your goodness,

all of your greatness, all of your mercy. Father God,

I thank you that the blood still works. I don't

always get it right, I don't always put my best

foot forward, but the blood make up for where I

become short. So I thank you for the blood. I

don't know about anybody else, Father God, but I thank

you cause the blood works for me. It works for me.

I know I wouldn't be here without the blood. So

I thank you for the blood of Jesus. Now, Father,

I pray, Father God, that you allow me to interpret

what it is that you want me interpret it to

your church, to your people. Father God, I thank you

for the opportunity to stand before your people once again. Father.

some spirit be uplifted. Father, as I try my best

to deliver what it is that you would have me

to say to your church and Jesus' name, I pray Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen,

amen amen. Uh. You know, I was thinking that when

Pastor was preaching that day, he said something and I

can't remember. I've been trying for the life for me

to remember what word that would that triggered my spirit.

And so I'm thinking to myself that it had to

do something with the found and act. It had to

had to Man, it had to it had to because

what what I want to talk about today is I

want to talk about God That's given me the the

the opportunity to speak with you today and enlighten you

as I have been enlightened. And y'all didn't hear what

I said, as I have been enlightened. It's a very

I mean, it's it's a scripture that we all know.

Y'all heard me. You didn't, you didn't hear it, They

didn't preached it. I'm gonna try to dissect it today, yes, sir, Yes, sir,

I want, I want. I want to bring it to

light today. Uh so, so if you don't mind, you

you could go with me to Matthew eighteen and I

forgot what mo nor I don't nor don't. I want

to say. It's Matthew eighteen seventeen and eighteen. I think

mm hm yeah, I got so many of them. I

want to start off with the right one. Yeah, okay, no, no,

I'm sorry Matthew sixteen and eighteen. Alright, alright, alright, I'm sorry. Yeah.

And he said, And Simon Peter answered and said, the

author Christ, the Son of God, to live in God.

And Jesus answered and said, unto him, blessed o Simon,

but joined, for flesh and blood has not revealed this

unto you, but my father house. And I say unto

you that the uh and upon this rock, somebody say,

upon this rock I will build my church. I will

Bill Wait a minute, Wait a minute. I want you

all to hear what he said. He says, and I say,

unto thee that that art Peter, and upon this rock,

I will build uh oh, my church. All Right, you

may be seated. I don't want y'all to run off.

I don't want y'all to throw rocks at me. Yeah,

because I want you to understand. I don't mean no

harm preachers. I don't mean no harm. Bishops, I don't

mean no home souperintendence. I don't mean no harm. He said,

my church. So, in other words, he didn't tell Peter

he was gonna be a Peter church. He didn't tell

Peter he was gonna use to be a Marx church.

He said, I'm gonna be a my church. I don't

mean to offend no, preachers, it's not your church. Jesus said,

I will build his church. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

And he say the gates of Hell will not prevent

against it if y'all keep reading. But I'm gonna y'all

know me. I'm gonna tie it in just a minute.

I'm gonna throw in a few minutes, I promise you

I am because I got happy sitting right there last

month when God gave this to me. He said, I

will be on my church, So it don't make no

difference what it looked like to you. He said, I'm

gonna be a my church. Watch this, y'all. We have

a tendency to try to make the church look like

what we wanted to look like. We have a tendency

to make the church try to run like we wanted

to run. Jesus said, this is his church. This is

the first mention of the word church. The church has

yet not been a status, but this is the first

mention of it in the Bible. Go he yo, you

ain't got to go back and rid your bible. That

the first mention of the word church right here in Matthew.

Why because just the first time it was revealed that

he said, upon this rock, I'm gonna build my church.

And so I took from that and I wanted to know, why,

what does your rock look like? Because Jesus said, upon

this rock, I build my church. What do your rock

look like? What your rock look like? He said, the

gates of hell should not prevail against it? So what

are the gates of hell? What are the things that's

gonna come against the church. But when he say gates,

wat's just when he say gates, you have to you

have to go back to and and and those times. Uh,

the bigger the gate, the broader the gate, the most

study of the gate. That represents strength, because when the

enemy come, the first thing they do is try to

go through the gate, because most often the walls are

higher than the gate, so it's more easier. Have you

ever seen them all them them ancient movies where they

they get the logs and and they got the gates closed,

and they and they throwing the big old things against

the gate trying to open the gate. Or they the

first thing they do, they'll say, close the gate, close

the gate. The enemies is coming. So the gate represents

your strength. And sometime a gate is to keep the

enemies out, but sometimes the gate says to keep danger

away from you. See it can protect you. Watch this, y'all.

You got to know your gates or it can harm you.

Oh y'all got quiet, man, that's that's all right. I'm

I'm gonna bring it. Wh y'all can understand that, I

promise you, because see right here we are doing a

we are doing a physical enemy. But Jesus says, upon

this rock, I will build my church, and the gates

of Hell should not prevail against it. Now watch this.

Jesus wasn't worried about the physical thing that could happen,

because he got that under control. And to show you

he got it under control. When they come from him

and drew their sword, and Peter drew his sword, he said, Peter,

put your sword away. He said that you not know

I could call twelve leading the angels. See that's the

physical thing to protect the gate. So when Jesus make

this reference, Jesus is reference to the spiritual gates. He

say hell should not prevail against the spiritual gates. What

your rock looked like? Because he said he phone this rock,

I'll build my church. See we know what Jesus rock

look like. What your rock look like? Oh, I know

you build emotions, you build feelings, You build these type

of things on your rock. So when things don't go

your way, your rock is easily penetrated. Your gates, your

gates is easily penetrated. So watch this when he says,

up on this rock, I will build in a case

of Hell should not prevail against it the power of

that is hated y'all. Have y'all seen the move where

Zeus the good son and the bad son, and and

and and and the good the bad son is the

black son. That's Hayden, that's in hell, and he trying

and release and take over Zeus and his son and

all this, and so he got the forces of darkness

with him. See, this is what Jesus is talking about,

the forces of darkness, the influence of Satan, the influence

of I'm gonna turn around. I don't want y'all see

my face when I'll say this, the influence of you.

Because see, sometime you can be your own enemy. You

don't need an outside enemy to destroy your gates. You

can destroy your gates from the inside. Baby, I'm trying

to tell you what God told me. See, some of

us turn up our gates from the inside. That's the

reason it's so easy for Satan to penetrate, because we

try the gates up on the inside, so he don't

have no work to do. That's the reason you always

talking about what the devil doing, cause you didn't told

your gate down, and he's just walking all over you.

Now what your rock looked like, we know what jesus

rock looked like, because he explained it to us in

March seventeen. He said, upon this rock, gates of Hell

can't prevail what your rock looked like. See, Jesus wasn't

worried about it. And in the in the in the in, in, in,

in in in history, in the in the making of it,

I want, I want to tell you where he said.

Then we're gonna get into some preaching. I'm just letting

the groundwork for you right now. It's a destrategic, a

strategic offense that that Jesus was speaking of. Right, I'm

gonna tell y'all something when you get into this. Jesus

is saying just the opposite of what I told you.

Jesus is saying, the gates of Hell shouldn't prevail against it.

You know why, because we on the offense, and we're

gonna kick the gates of Hell down. Yah, y'all, Yeah,

y'all already know he went to Hell and got the

keys and this that, and Jesus saying, this is an offense.

We're going into Hell to take people back. Ye See,

y'all thought Jesus was trying to protect his gates. Not

all Jesus finna break down Hell's gate. That's your job.

This is an offense strategy. Jesus is talking about the

gates of Hell. Can't pavail against it. While because we're

gonna knock that down, Peter, we gonna go get some people, Peter,

because we gonna the church gonna go forward, and I

don't care what they coming up with. They not gonna

stop the church. Oh y'all thought I was talking about

the gates Hell going against Jesus Church. Oh, my bad,

my bad. I'm talking about Jesus taking something. I'm talking

about the blood moving something. Yeah, I'm talking about the

Almighty's going into the enemy's count taking back what the

enemies do. See. You always tell about you went into

the enemy's camp, and this message Jesus is talking about

going into the enemy's camp. Oh, y'all need to y'all

read it, read it, read it, y'all read your scripture.

Understand your scripture, right, Okay. So in case of Philippi

is where this took place. And the reason Jesus spoke

this to Peter when he was talking about this is

because in this region there were a lot of caves

and this is a pagan place to where they thought

this is how you get to the underworld. So watch this,

Jesus says, upon this rock, Upon this rock. He's talking

to Peter, but he's standing in a place to where

there are legal ways that they think that they could

get to the underworld. So he's standing in the midst

of chaos, allowing them to know. Under rock, I'm gonna

build my church right on top of your graveyard, right

on top of your cinemerch cheery, right on top of

whatever you think you got going on. I'm gonna build

my church right here. And guess what we gonna do.

We gonna turn y'all gates down. I'm not afraid of

you turn my gage down, y'all. Y'all, y'all ought to

be happy about that, because I just asked you, what

did your rock look like? Don't worry about it. I'm

gonna show you what your rock looked like in a minute.

I'm gonna show you what your rock look like in

a minute. Uh, And then I'm gonna show you what

your rock should look like. He's talking about taking territory, y'all. See, y'all,

y'all thought Jesus just preaching and told Peter all pun

this rock, I will build my church in the gates

of Hell. Can't pavail against it. But we gonna flourish.

We're gonna put it. But Jesus telling Peter the only

way you're gonna flourish, you got to tear their gates down.

Turn they gage down. See that's how you're gonna flourish.

See you always talking about Now, you didn't call me

to do that. That ain't for me, That ain't my

min Yeah, it's your ministry to turn to gate down

of hell. Watch the ster. Stop trying to make your

church and make Jesus Church a preachers. I just told

y'all I didn't want to. I didn't I didn't wanna.

I didn't want y'all to get upset with me. But

this is not your church. This is Jesus Church. Stop

trying to build your own individual church and what it

you look like and what we should be doing. Jesus

said we should be turned down the gates of hell. Baby,

y'all ready for that. You ready to be a urschel,

You ready to be a minister, You ready to be

a deacon, You ready to be this. Are you ready

to turn down the gates of hell? Because that's what

Jesus told Peter. That was either he was a stabling

the church. For he didn't say I was a stabling

of no church to have no took aps. I wasn't

a stabling no church to have no this and have

no that. I'll stablished the church to turn down the

gates of hell. Oh, y'all, y'all a youth of that

type of preacher. The church ain't supposed to be scared.

Church ain't supposed to hide. Jesus build this church to

take something. He built it to take something. When you

research your scriptures, it's say, study to show ourself, approve

we got the wrong interpretation of the rock the church,

it's our waste moving now. He could establish his church anywhere,

but he'll establish his church in the midst of what

they had going on. These are porters to hell. When

you look at they say these caves, there's caves there,

and they feel like this is the way to get

to the underground, and this is the way. So Jesus says,

I'm gonna put mine right here, since yours right there,

I'm gonna put mine right here and my church is

gonna be so strong that we gonna take over your church.

Sell y'all think the churches. Wait the church, watch this

the church. I would say this. I ain't been in

church a long time, so y'all don't don't. Don't shoot

that me later on when you see me riding down

the street. But listen, I will say this from reading

and understanding my Bible. The church is weak because you're

building the church. The foundation is already laid. We don't

need you to build now another foundation. We need you

to take something and bring it back and add to

the foundation. Don't build nothing on it, just add to it.

The foundation is laid, Paul says. Let no man, no

other man, build upon the foundation that's laid. Else it's

work should be test it. Jesus told Petle flesh and

blood couldn't reveal that to you. And since you got that, Petle,

upon this, I'm gonna be in a church right hererow

fleshing blood didn't reveal that to you. But watch it, heirl.

We as a church, we as a people, have allowed

fleshing blood to run the church. Oh, we got cliques

in the church. You got to dress a certain way

in the church. You got to build a certain way

in the church. You got to No no, no, no, no,

no no no, that's not what the church is for.

That's not what the church is for. Oh I'm feel

I'm finia start going in jes a minute, I have

some more stuff for y'all because see, I understand it

don't matter to me what anybody say about me, because

I know and wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait

a minute, wait minute, let me back yourself because I

want you to. I want you to understand who you wield.

When Jesus says that upon this rock, the gates of

Hell can't prevail against it, and it's an offensive strategy.

But the reason is an offensive strategy, he says, because

those who are called out to be the church will

prevail regardless, regardless of what's going on. Watch it here.

You know how you talk about all say sanctified, to

be separated, to come from among them, Well, Jesus ain't

go back kidding them. Jesus say, we going to Hell

and take them out of there's some people in Hell

we got to lose out. I know you've been called

I know you sanctified. I know you're supposed to come

from among them. But if all you hang out was

those that are saved and sanctified, how you gonna go

into hell and take them out of there? Which I

build my church so the gates of hell can't pavailed

against it. It's an office to turn down the gates

of hell. Oh you done, God, saved and sanctified and separated.

Now you're building your church. It ain't be one. It

ain't be one church. That's Christ Church. One church. The gates,

the gates. Let's get back to the gates. The gates

ought to protect the enemy from the outside. Whatever's trying

to penetrate your your territory, the gates is built to

keep it out. The thick of the gates is stronger

because you wat sch this. I'm gonna show you something simple.

It's more easy to kick the door in in a

building boom that's got a wooden door, than it is

to kick the door in on a building it's got

metal doors. Take a little more effort. What your gates

look like? Is it easy for him to penetrate your gate?

Is it easy for your emotions to penetrate your gate?

Is it easy? And I'm gonna I'm gonna show you

all in a minute while I'm going here, is it

easy for your feelings to penetrate your gate because something

that's not going white with you or they don't go

like you think you to go. So now you mad?

You you do this? You do that because let me

tell you something, man, it's it's it's all mm hmm.

I won't say that. Let me say this. We have

to understand as a as a as the body of Christ.

Because I am talking to believers right because see I

understand this that Jesus say, my sheep know my voice.

And Jesus spoke to a lot of people, but everybody

wasn't his sheep because they didn't know his voice. See so,

so so this one we're preaching and teaching out of

this book. This book is for believers. This book is

for those who are in Christ Jesus for real. This

book is for those who know that if it had

not been for God for real. This book is for

those who understand what it took to snatch me out

the fire for real. So I stand on. I'm gonna

put my Bible down there and stood on. I can't

do that. I stand on this rock. This is the rock.

This is the rock. This the church. That's the ohs

to pietrates Hell and take back what's rightfully the churches

in the first place. So when we talk about some

things the assembly called out of the world to preach

the gospel, let me ask you this first. Where you're

preaching the gospel? At where you're preaching the gospel? You're

preaching the gospel on the words convenient to you to

preach it? Are you preaching the gospel? Only when birds

of a feather flock together get together? So y'all can

trade scripts. You I know, iron sharpers iron, but the

word save? Where are you spread in your gospel? Because

Jesus says, up on this rock, I'm gonna build my church,

and I'm gonna call y'all out Peter, So y'all can

go spread the gospel. But first I want you to

kick the gates of Hell in fir. We're gonna start

right there. We're gonna start in hell and work our

way out. Because like the three Hebrew Boys, you go

in the fire, I'm not with you. You won't even

come out smelling like smoke. How many is winny to

go into fire? Oh? Oh, oh, and raise your hand

y'all missed. Y'all should have went to praisen right there. Y'all,

y'all should have went to shouting right now, because y'all

just say it. I believe in the world. So, how

many of you is wooding to go like Star Trek

say where no one has gone before? Or is it

you done got comfortable with your church? You'd have got

about Jesus Church. Now you to establish your own church.

Now you go when you feel like it. You do

it if you think it's a benefit to you instead

of it being a benefit to somebody else. Jesus said,

We're gonna go in hell, Peter, I'm gonna be on

my church right here in the gates of Hell. Can't prevail.

You know why. We gonna kick it down. We gonna

go on. Then we're gonna take out what's in there.

We're gonna free those, We're gonna loose those that are

in Now, this is what I call you out to

preach the gospel For Peter, you can't get comfortable in

Jesus Church. What your rock look like. I'm finna I'm

finna go, and then I'm gonna I'm gonna bring it

back to you I'm gonna I'm gonna give you some

examples of some people that they allowed their gates to

be penetrated. These were regarded man who was established with

the church before the church. They was chosen set aboard.

Ah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, like we so watch this.

In the midst of this, there are four things, three

things I think that will allow you your gates to

be tore up from the inside. Oh see, y'all thought

your gaze was just for the outside. No, now I

want to cross over here because I'm not talking about

your outside enemies. I'm talking about you as your own enemy.

The gates of your mind. It's what I'm talking about

right now, because see there are gates on the outside,

gates on the inside. Even though watch this Peter, Jesus

tells Peter upon this rock, I build my church and

the gates of hell. Can I pavel against the Peter

and then good flesh and blood can reveal that to

you owning my father in heaven. That means Peter had

a direct line. But then Jesus tell Peter that Peter

Satan comes to swift you. You can see the physical

gate Peter Satan comes to swift you. Now Jesus talking

about the inside gate. Oh, y'all, ain't gonna talk back now,

Jesus talking about the gates in your mind, Peter Satan

comes to swift you. Oh you got it together, Peter.

Then nobody reveal that to you but my father in heaven. Man,

you smart. That's a direct link. Jesus on the high line.

Now the Father on the high line with Peter, because

Jesus himself said, my father revealed that to you, man,

so watch this. Peters. Then great standings with the Father.

But then Jesus said, saying, come to swift you like weaven,

I prayed that you your faith fail you not. Faith

is not something you have on the outside, ladies and gentlemen.

Faith is something that you have on the inside of you.

I'm talking about the gates on the inside of you. Now,

uh huh. We're not talking about the enemy that's out here. Now,

we can conquer them. Three rocks in the sling shot.

We can conquer these enemies. You understand what I'm saying.

That's all you need. Three rocks in the slingshot. What

do you need to conquer the enemy on the inside.

So Jesus tell Peter he come to swift you like we,

but I pray that your faith fail you not. And

one you've been converted. Uh oh uh oh, once you've

been converned, he said, Least don't don't go help your

other brother. Don't try to kick the door into hell

and go get nobody and your gate ain't stronger. Don't

go in there playing because them people are gonna beat

you up and run you up out of their neked

I'm telling you right now, don't go in there, Peter.

Least you be converted. So that means Peter had all

this knowledge. But Peter inne Gates wasn't strong enough. Oh,

Peter inne Gates wasn't strong enough to go to work yet. Oh,

y'all ain't gonna talk back to me. See, you just

want to be a mentalster, elder, deacon, bishop, but your

inner gates ain't strong enough yet. You want to be

a your church all y'all. I told y'all, I told

you your in the gates ain't strong enough yet. I'm

gonna show you here in a minute. Better're not gonna teinue.

So watch this, watch watch this here, Isaiah fourteen twelve

and fifteen. You don't have to go there. I'm gonna

tell you what that is. That is Jesus. I mean,

that's that's Satan being cast out. Why because he was

His gates was strong. His gates was strong on the outside.

He had it going on on the outside, but on

the inside his mind penetrated that gate and broke it down,

and pride crept in. I'm talking about you, Innegates. I'm

talking about your innegates because see Jesus back, let me

be back. Jesus Gates on the outside was strong. On

the inside was strong because he didn't say mumbling words.

You couldn't penetrate his gate from the inside. You couldn't

get him to say something that he was supposed to say.

You couldn't get him to do something that he wasn't

supposed to do. You couldn't get him to think bad

about you when you did thought bad about him. You

couldn't get him to hurt you when you hurt him.

Because not only was his outside gates strong, his integates

in his mind was strong. That's when when he say,

if this mind being you, I'd keep you in perfect peace.

That's the gate from the inside, not the outside. Ladies

and gentlemen, your car looked good on the outside. We

got rims on it, We got twenty folds on it.

The pain job is back, but you ain't got now.

Don't hand on the inside you getting in there through

the window? Sh wow, wow wow. What do it look

like on the inside? What your gates looked like on

the inside. Ego another thing that will penetrates your gate

on the inside. For that, we go to Daniel Folk

one through thirty seven. This is King gyebrik Nazo. He

did his ego get in the way, wouldn't humble hisself,

so God had to his ego penetrated his gate. He

started to do what he wanted to do. Like many

of us do today. We do what we want to

do instead of doing what God is called us to do,

instead of doing what we know it's right to do.

Paul says, and second Corinth as Paul says that God

say he sent a send Satan to buffing Paul, because Paul,

we're doing all right on the outside, but on the

inside Paul was messing up. So God said, I send

him to buffing you to keep you straight, to remind

you this is my work, this is not your work.

I'm watching this here. Christ says my church. Nowadays, I

believe everybody is getting too busy, old busy trying to

establish they church. That's the reason the church start off

like this and then your next thing, you know, five

six years later, because watched this, the cultural out there change.

Now the culture in the church didn't change. Oh, I

can't get y'all to talk back. How they dress out there.

Now they dressing like that in the church, y'all ain't

gona y'all, y'all don't it. It's cool to see on

TV the man wearing a suit and the tennis shoes. Well,

in the church, it used to be the suit and

the hard sold shoes. Now it's the suits and the

tennis shoes. So now the preacher looking just like the

man on TV who's not the preacher. Are y'all ain't

gonna talk aback because everybody's establishing their own churches. Watch this.

Back in the day, we say, man, that dude jeans

show is tight. Man, that dude shirt tight. Me, he

got to have some sugar in his tank. H Oh, y'all, y'all, y'all,

y'all ain't gon y'all aint gonn y'all don't want y'all

don't want to have church this morning. I told you

I'm gonna keep it real with you, y'all. He got

sugar in his tank, and you look how tight as

jeans is. And now they Jesus skinner jeans preaching because

what looked good then penetrated to church. Wow, because you're

establishing your church and you're getting away from where it

says in seventeen matter except where it says my church.

What Jesus says my church. What Jesus says my church?

What Jesus says my church? We all agree it ain't

but one. So where your church come from? Where your

church come from? How do you establish your church? But

I said in the beginning, what do your rock look like? Right? Okay,

let me get some help. Hey, son in law, can

you look behind at door right there in the office,

and uh yeah, I have some rocks right there. Can

uh huh yeah.

What your rock look like? Y'all ain't gonna talk back

to me. That's all right, I'm used to talking anyway. Yeah,

what your rock look like? What do your rock look like?

Jesus says, upon this rock, I build my church, and

the gates of Hell won't prevail against it. He said,

my church. Yeah, what your rock look like? Everybody looking

at the rocks trying to figure out what what you one?

The one live? What your rock look like? Yeah, yeah,

uh oh uh oh, now comes the gates of Hell. Ah,

y'all ain't gonna talk back to me. Y'all, don't don't

play with me today. Don't play with now. I'm telling you,

what do your rock look like? Oh? Yeah, see, I'm

gonna I'm on uh doucle, Jesus says, upon this rock,

I will build my church. Everybody want to do their

own thing, I'm gonna build my church. In the case

of hell, shimple fella gins. And I told you that

was an offense strategy what Jesus come up with. But

now I want to talk to you about. That was

the outer gates. We wanna talk about the innegates, because see,

sometime you allow situations in circumstances piltry. But the way

you live on the outside for the church, it's the

way you have to be in on the inside for

the church. Because see I told you Jesus sell love

on on the outside. Why because he had love on

the inside. That's the reason he didn't say a mumbling word.

Are y'all they gonna talk back to me? That's the

reason that Jesus didn't get mad. When they were setting

over there watching this here. You know, how are they

talking about me? They or they're whispering around, And Jesus said,

why you having them thoughts about me? Jesus already know

what they were thinking. He didn't get mad. He just

asked them, because why y'all having them thoughts about me? Man?

They didn't say nothing bad. See all the inner things,

See there are some inrigates. They ain't supposed to be penetrated.

You keep your mind staying on me, I'll keep you

in perfect peace. Why you're so angry? Oh, I know

your mind ain't on Jesus. Why things get you upset

all the time because your mind ain't on Jesus. Why

they hurt your feelings because your mind ain't on Jesus.

Because I'm gonna tell you some wat Watch this, y'all,

and I'm gonna I'm gonna listen everybody talk about somebody else.

And I got this, thank you, Lord. I got this

last night talking to my ball about that you're doing

my heir and then you're talking about his girlfriend. So

and I y'all dropped this in my spirit. Everybody talk

about somebody else. But I want you to leave it today.

If you don't remember nothing else today, I want you

to understand, well, no, I want my two things. I'm

gonna give you one right now, and it's free you in.

He got to pay for that. If you don't remember

nothing else today, y'all watch this. What I want you

to understand is Judas was handpicked for Jesus, Jesus, the Rock,

the word. I got to keep going back because I

want you to remember what you told me. The Believer

h never said a word about Judas, and he knew

Judas purpose never said a word. Wouldn't let nobody else

say nothing bad about Judas. So watch this believe them

word borroh. To stop complaining about people, because some people

that you complain about and you're trying to remove out

of your life or the people God is putting in

your life to get you what He want him you

to be, to get you to fulfill your purpose that

he called you to fulfill. So quick complaining because even

Jesus had a Judors, you'll innogate. Don't let Judas penetrate,

you'll innergate. Treat Judas with love him kindness. You understand

I'm talking about pray for m Jesus. Just say nothing

bod about Judas. And so I told the dude last night,

you tell me, yeah, man every time. Then you started talking.

She called him telling you the enemy and this, that

and the other. I said, well, just remember this man,

Jesus had a juicis. I got my truck and rove.

I went on, see if you if you rolling with

his church, you got to put up with Judas. Okay,

well I got.

Turned on brother, yes, okay, okay, okay, oh your battery

your battle dead.

Yeah, we'll watch this. Okay. What I was gonna do

is yeah you did I actually, yeah, I asked you

to brain mine What what I was gonna do is

is I was gonna show you watch this. This is

Christ rock. It is Christ rock. It's unmovable. This represents

the currors of the world, wild of the enemy, the

gates of Hell, whatever you wanna call it. That's enough

force to move the small rocks. Wow, but it's not

enough force. Another move Jesus rock. Watch this. Now, all

these rocks was Warren's one rock. Pasts all these rocks

was WARN's one rock. But you got calling, You got promoted,

You got a degree. You got a promotion from being

the choad director to being ministry of music, from being

on the usherboard to becoming the leader of the usher board.

Now they come see you. Now you so, in other words,

you got promotions. All these rocks was once one rock,

but you got a promotion. You was once the alma bar.

Now you're the old seer. You got some word in you,

you're the elder. All these rocks was once one rock.

Now you're the bishop. Started off as the minister, all

these rocks. What's ones one rock? Now you are the

treasure of the church. You run the operations of the church.

All these rocks. What's once one rock? And so I

was coming to say this. Jesus says, we're going to

attack Hell, take you back. But now that you Dinet

got promoted, you done forgot about the assignment. Now you're

more interested in your rock. The rock represents the church.

All of these rocks come from the church. You more

interested in building your church. You didne got away from

what the church was supposed to be doing in the

first place. So watch this. This church is gonna last.

This church is not. It's not gonna last. If we

understand when Jesus says that the gates of Hell should

not prevail against us, those are the ones that are

called to go and do what the church was established

to do. Now we look good. Now we do our

own thing in the church. Now we run the church

the way we want the church to go. We have

to understand that for your inner gates to stay locked up.

Watch this sealed tight. The scripture says that was an

inside enemy attack, not an outside that come from the inside.

Sadan says, watch this. You know I can't get Joe

to do nothing. You got a hedge of protection around

him on the outside. God, So okay, I'm gonna take

that down. Watch this goss. I'm gonna take that hedge

of protection down, and I guarantee you you can't make

Joe get off the rock. Y'all ain't talking back to me. See,

I'm talking about the inner side, the innegates, now, the

gates on the inside. Say you say you got a

head the protection around the man. You know I can't

get him gone. So okay, I'm gonna take all out away.

You talking about what's on the outside. I'm talking about

what's on the inside of Joe. You're not gonna get

your wife because Joe's standing on the rock. You can

take everything job on the rock. So if you take

everything for you, what you gonna do, you gonna cast God.

You gonna start acting different if you take everything from you,

if it gets to the point where you can't take

it no more, do you still stand on the rock?

Watch this? Or do you find you another rock to

stand on? What your rock looked like? Telling you about

some inner gates that shouldn't be penetrated. Believe the body

of Christ bg separated, sanctified, and set apart. I'm talking

about some inner case that shouldn't be penetrated. Oh were

the people? So if you take everything, Joe said, Man,

I almost stunning right here. When your friends start telling

you the influence when your man gone, when your woman gone,

when your kids is acting up, when your kids is gone.

What rock you standing on? What your rock looks like?

When your wife not doing what you think she ought

to be doing, or treating you like you think she

ought to be treating you, or your husband ain't paying

no tention to you no more? Are you still standing

on that same rock? Or have you got another rock

to stand on? I'm just trying to figure out why

you so angry, why you so frustrated, Why you so

double minded? And Jesus said, pun this rock, I'll build

my church and the gates of Hell can't pavail against it.

Why are you trying to prevail against Jesus rock? Why

are you steady kicking against the prick if you know

this is what you're supposed to be doing. Why you

finding other rocks this and don't suit me no more?

That's too stuck up. They want you to act a

certain way in the church. They want you so I'm

going over here and find me another rock to stand on.

Looked like Joe rock looked like man, real talk because

it's only one thing we can do. That's believers. We

got to have the mindset of Joe. The story is

there for a reason. They said God gave Joe double

for his trouble. No, sir, God gave Joe because Joel

retained his integrity, his character. He didn't get out of line,

he didn't waiver. He's solid on the rock even though

the case of Hell was bringing. He stays solid and

what he believed in. So God says, for this, you

are rewarded because you stood on the rock even though

I took everything down and aloud, watch this hero. Satan says,

you know, I can't get to Joe. You got a

head of protection on him. That means your gate is

too wide and broad for me. Man, I can't get

around it. He said, I can't get around it. God say, okay,

I'm gonna I'm gonna take it down. I'm gonna open

it up. I'm gonna open it up. I want you

to go get him, Go get him, go get him.

See and I want you to understand. See this is

what happens sometimes in our life. Oh oh see, sometimes

God will open the You so worried about God closing

doors sometimes God will opened the door. Say go get him,

Go get that relationship, Go get that kids, Go get

his job. Do what you got to do, because I

just believe I'm gonna stay on the rock. I just

believe he gonna stay on the rock. See, we never

know what God has in planning for us, what God

has in store for us, but we do know this

about him. He has that purpose for our life, and

our purpose shall be fulfilled. We can stand on the

rock and maintain our integrity and keep our character in

checked when things are falling apart, or we can get

on this rock, it still don't change the purpose that

He had for you over here, just because you got

on this rock. What this means is it's gonna be

a whole lot harder. Yeah, when you establish your own rock,

because he say the foundation is laid, it's laid. You

don't need now another rock. Stay connected to this rock,

stay right here. This is why I want you. Don't

build your rock off anything. I would move this rock

if I feel like it's time for you to bring

you a little higher. Yes, saying what I'm saying. We

can't do our own thing. We can't build our own

churches and in America today, everybody got a church. Everybody

got a church. There's no strength in it. You become

a minister, you get a little word. Just because you

get some words. That don't mean you need no keys.

The Comfert's coming up is following leadership. I know how

to preach. I know how to pray. Man, they asked

me all the time in that man. Ah. Look, I'm

onder my pastor should I do? Because I think he's

standing on this rock and I stand on the rock

with him. Ah, y'all watch this though, if he get

off this rock? Lord Lord, what are you doing? Lord?

You told me to follow him because he follow Christ.

Lord Lord, what he doing y'all standing him? Time out?

I'm just being real with y'all about me. I know

the rock, and if he decides to give him another rock,

I'm gonna pray for the other rock. Lord, what are

they doing with that that you that you called up?

Because Hee, it's so easy for you to get caught

up in mankind. It's so easy for you to get

your head swelled up with how good you doing. It's

so easy for you to get your head swelled up

for man. You've been under that man for twenty some

years man, and you ought to have your own this,

your own that. Now God ain't told me all to

have that. I'm just for real. I don't care what

you say. I'm standing on the rock. It don't make it.

Whatn't make me look like no different what it looked

like to you. What makes a difference to me is

when Satan come to attack me, and God say how

you considered Elder Alden Johnson, and Satan say I can't

get him cause you got a hedgie protecting around him.

That's what means something to me. And when God say,

well I take the heads, but taking down and I

bet you still can't get him to do nothing wrong,

That's what means to me. Because I'm on the rock,

I'm not running for Hell. I'm chasing Hell. Baby. Every

single day I come from Hell, So why would I

run from Hell? That's where I come from. So I'm

going back. I'm called to go back. Watch this. You

was called out to be separated, but you was called

out to be separated to you. Your gates got struggle,

So I can send you back. Whatever he called you

out of, that's your ministry. Because there's some people that

was in your clique. I ain't gonna never hear the

word of God or see the true living all until

you go back and show them. The Bible never just

describes what happened to Joe. I mean Joe's friends. But

I bet you when it was all over and they

seen Joe and they said, Joe, boy, you show him

say with good God, man, say what must I do

to be saved? Y'all ain't gonna talk back to me,

y'all y'ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, y'all ain't gonna talk back

to me. So watch this, man, your rock? What do

your rock look like? What's your rock look like when

ain't nobody looking? What's your conversation look like when you're

riding down the street by yourself?

What your rock look like? How strong are your gates?

How strong are your gates? How strong are your gates?

Now? I know y'all want to hoop and hollow. I'm

not that type of preacher. I mean I can. I

will sometime jump over churls, ah, go under churls, jump

in the baptism pool. See I can, I you know

I can. I can. I can. I can make you

feel good. I can make you feel good. That's what's

wrong with the church today. That's what's wrong with the

church today. Everybody want to go home feeling good. Don't

nobody want to stay with the rock Cause the rockets

about truth. The rockets is not about making you feel good.

The rockets about conviction. The rockers about correct The rocker

is about rebuking. It's not about making you feel good.

It's about making you worthy to live good. That's what

the rock is about. Hey man, God bless you. Yeah,

clap your hands and give God to pray for the word.

Hallelujah. Tell your nigme, I'm standing on the rock. I'm standing,

I'm standing, I'm standing. I'm standing on the rock. What

a wonderful message. I think that we need to think

about it for just a moment in terms of gates,

and then we got to think about rocks.

Keep
