The Book of Ephesians, if you will stand on your
-
feet for the reading of God's words, chapter number five,
-
Chapter number five, And let me tell you that we'll
-
continue to walk in what we call expository study and
-
preaching as we have some upcoming preachers to understanding that
-
we're living in the generation now that people will have
-
itching ears hallelujah and being tossed to and fro with
-
every sound of doctrine. The only doctrine that's true. It's
-
not the Baptist doctrine. It's not the Pentecostal doctrine. It's
-
not the Presbyterian doctrine. It's not the Catholic doctrine. It's
-
the Bible doctrine. Be a logic. Hey man, I don't
-
need to hear another man's opinion on that doctrine. I
-
need to hear from God. Hallelujah. So we've been walking
-
through the Book of Ephesians, if you will, and so
-
we've dealt with the theology that Paul takes our time.
-
Thank you, elders. Paul takes our time to first teach
-
the people of God because he understands that if if
-
we are taught, and if we know better, and we
-
can do better. He's dealing with a people that do
-
not know him, and it is necessarily that the principles
-
of the Oracles, first of all, is to be taught.
-
We have to know something before we can teach something.
-
Were really gonna know God, We need to know the
-
theology of God, and our theology needs to be based
-
on truth.
-
Hallelujah.
-
If it's not based on truth, then I thinking is
-
not right. If I thinking it's not right, then our
-
talking is not right. If I talking is not right,
-
then our teaching is not right. And people are being
-
taught to and fro. But we begin now, and we
-
started in the Ephesian chapter number four that Paul says,
-
after you have been taught, you so learned. So there's
-
a certain way, brothers and sisters that we just don't
-
claim to be saved, but we look like we're saved, Okay, hallelujah,
-
Because a lot of folks that believe in Christ, they
-
just don't walk like Christ, they don't look like Christ,
-
and they don't talk like Christ. If you have had
-
an experience with God, let me tell you that the
-
dead man, that old man of you is dead, and
-
now you're walking in the new man created in righteousness
-
and in true holiness. So in Ephesian chapter four he
-
gets to the point. He says, then walk worthy of
-
the vocation and which you will call and the first
-
walk A life a lifestyle, the kingdom lifestyle of the
-
rich and famous, is that we live up to what
-
God has inherited in us.
-
Tell you, nab, but that's a different lifestyle. We live.
-
The things I used to do. Are y'all quit playing now?
-
Don't don't testify if you ain't, I don't want no line.
-
Church have been here now, don't be saying that with
-
me if you if you still smoking it joking, come
-
on now, come on now, I'm talking folks said have
-
had some real experience with God. There's a lot of
-
folks that hang around God and get a contact.
-
Hallelujah.
-
You come to church to get a contact, you feel good,
-
but it ain't nothing really in you for change and transformation.
-
I wish I had a neighbor in here, hallelujah. If
-
you had a real experience with God, everything about you
-
change and testimony. He pick you up, turns you around
-
and place your feet on solid ground. That means you
-
run in a whole different direction. Hallelujah. You ain't doing
-
the things you used to do. Ain't that right to me?
-
And you ain't going.
-
Is that right?
-
And you ain't acting okay, I'm checking you now, I'm checking.
-
I'm checking your post. You know you used to didn't
-
like people, you haley lujah.
-
So you got that.
-
You don't like being around to listen, you don't like folk, hallelujah.
-
You gotta love everybody. Eve.
-
I hear you, I hear it, even your enemy. I'm
-
I'm messing with you today. I'm messing with you real
-
good today, hallelujah, because something about to change and transform
-
in your life. You getting ready to have a deeper
-
walk with God in twenty twenty six. I ain't prophit
-
sign over you over money and cause and how go
-
get a job, get a career, live the American dream.
-
But out of all of that, you need to be holy,
-
Oh God, I wish ah boy, y'all out.
-
God, hallelujah. What is it for you to gain? The
-
whole world?
-
Come on, you've been praying for husband, that man you can't.
-
He can't handle you, man boy, why he can't?
-
You ain't ready?
-
Hallelujah, hallelujah. You need something to look like God. So
-
we walked worthy and humility, and then secondly we dealt
-
with walking and righteousness and true holiness, and we use it.
-
Old song, Old Boy, came out of my spirit. Trade
-
in my life for you. I've traded y'all would play
-
that song right there. Helped me when I was going
-
through my dilemma. Helped me when I was out there
-
in the world. But when I was going through a dilemma,
-
that song helped me to trade in my old thoughts.
-
I was trying to come back. Have anybody had some
-
old thoughts trying to creep back on you?
-
Uh?
-
Yeah, you gotta call him down, bro Bright, calling the devil.
-
I thought it was my flesh. He does deal with
-
my flesh. Amen. Have you ever had some old mates
-
come up to you when you're just about to get
-
right and do right, and all of a sudden, them
-
folks that was gone long time ago show up at
-
the door. That's the devil. But I thank God that
-
we traded in the old life. Tell your neighbor, neighbor,
-
I've exchanged my old life for a new life. Is
-
a better life, and I'm glad about it. I ain't
-
heard no shouts. S here, I ain't hurt, no shouts.
-
I'm glad I ain't on my way to hell. Let
-
me say that one more time. If y'all don't think
-
of anything. I'm glad I was on my way to hell.
-
I said. I'm glad that I'm not on my way
-
to hell. Whoop you turn, baby, I'm going the other way.
-
I'm going to heaven. Hallelujahs any are they glad about
-
trading in your life for Christ? And the next week
-
series we'll talk about walking in love. We'll talk about
-
walking in the light, we'll talk about walking in wisdom,
-
and then we'll talk about walking in spiritual warfare as
-
we conclude this book. But today we're gonna talk about love.
-
Tell your name, We're gonna talk about love. Holly, do
-
you the loook of Ephesians, Chapter number five, verse number
-
one through verse number six, Be you, therefore followers of
-
God as their children you. That word as is used
-
at least three times, So that shows that there's some
-
sense of an imitation that we are to imitate. What
-
follows after that, So as their children or like their children,
-
he says, now in verse number two, and walk in
-
as Christ also had loved us and had given himself
-
of us and offering in a sacrifice to God for
-
a sweet smelling saber. He said, But check this out
-
before on occasion, in all uncleanliness or coveteousness, let it
-
not be once say there's no time named among you,
-
somebody shout ask becoming saints, neither filterness nor a foolish talking,
-
nor jesting, which are not convenient, but rather giving thanks
-
for this. You know that none of these folks, because
-
everybody ain't going to heaven. Can I say that again
-
that even in the church, you know everybody ain't going,
-
he said, For we know that no hormonger, no unclean person,
-
nor a covetous man, who else and a dollar too
-
had any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.
-
So letting no man deceive me with vain words because
-
of these things coming the wrapped up God upon the
-
children of disobedience, so he says again in verse number two,
-
and walk in love as Christ also loved us and
-
had given himself for us an offering and the sacrifice
-
to God for a sweet smelling saber. In other words,
-
we gotta walk in love. My thought today is I'm
-
looking for a real love. Let me say that again.
-
What my ninety baby said? It like Mary J. Blige
-
kind of situation. Hallelujah. Somebody said I'm looking for real love. Yeah,
-
I'm looking for somebody that can search my heart find me,
-
she says. She said, I'm looking for a real love.
-
I need somebody to search me and set my heart free.
-
I may you know that some of us are captive
-
to some toxic kind of love, toxic kind of relationship,
-
toxic kind of partnership or connection. But God said, listen,
-
I'm getting ready to give you a new heart so
-
that you can love with a real love. I may
-
one of love with that real love. Hallelujah. I'm looking
-
for a real love. So, Father, God, we thank you today.
-
We thank you for our life of health and stress,
-
and thank you for the praise and the worship. Thank
-
you for your presence being prevalent in this place. We
-
thank you for the words God that you have given
-
us to share with your people. And then we thank
-
you for the sweet communion of the Holy Ghost that
-
makes the change. So God, I'm just a messenger of us.
-
It's the Holy Spirit that is the message. And I
-
pray even now, by the power the Holy Spirit, that
-
you convict, convince, and persuade those to come closer to you.
-
In Jesus' name, you pray. Amen.
-
I five of these seven people to tell them I'm
-
looking for a real love. Come on, seven people, Come on,
-
seven people. Y'all help me preach now, y'all help me,
-
y'all help me get excited. Y'all help me now, help me,
-
help me, help me. Let me see that fan right there,
-
say I'm looking. I'm looking for a real love. Hallelujah.
-
Come on, y'all, touch everybody, Touch everybody that you possibly
-
can touch. Iselujah. Amen, I'm looking for a love, real love.
-
It is important that we understand as we look at
-
the text today, and I do want to thank God
-
for all of you that make up the household of Fate.
-
Thank God for all of the ministers, the elders, our
-
co Pastor Paster Johnson, Eld Johnson in his absence on today,
-
and thank God for our First Lady, all of the deacons,
-
and all of the saints that make up the household
-
of faith. We do give God praise and glory. But
-
when I thought about this particular subject on the day.
-
I guess I'm having some flashbacks of the nineties, and so,
-
you know, I'm kind of like nineties baby. You know,
-
I like the nineties music. I think it's better than
-
the seventies. I think it's better than the eighties. I
-
do you know polka dot shirts, Paisley, You know we
-
had the gummy cuts.
-
I mean, I'm like nineties baby, you know.
-
And so here lately, these last two Sundays, I'm using
-
these artists that I admired in the world, and I
-
do admire the words of their songs when I can.
-
Relate those songs to my relationship with God.
-
So as we think about mayby J Blige and her
-
nineteen ninety two debute her album Looking for Real Love
-
or Real Love, she said I need a real love
-
she is she said, I'm searching for or real love?
-
Did she say that? She said I.
-
Need something that set my heart free another word that
-
meant be some other kind of love that have caused
-
her to be captive, bound and non set free.
-
Amen.
-
It is interesting to me, then, as I looked at
-
and discovered here and search real love, that there must
-
be a possibility that if there's a real love, there
-
also must be a fake love. Oh okay, can I
-
talk to y'all today?
-
I mean, if she says I'm searching.
-
For a real love, then there is the possibility that
-
there may be a vein or a fake kind of love.
-
Not only in the world, there's also some fake love
-
in churches. Uh huh. In my assessment of the word real,
-
I concluded that the word real is something that is genuine.
-
Would you agree? Genuine?
-
And the synonym for genuine is something that is authentic.
-
Is that right? It's authentic? It is, it is real.
-
In other words, it.
-
It only comes from uh, the manufacturer. That's some other
-
people making products. But the products is not real. They're fake.
-
They look like the real, but they're not the original
-
make from the maker. Somebody asked me on yesterday I
-
had on the prayer of Jordan's and uh, I had
-
those Jordans owned. And I don't know how people you know,
-
want to get in your business, because, yeah, add me
-
with them Jordan's real. I said, well, I paid a
-
good penny for him. He said, well, people pray good
-
pennies for fake Jordan's too. I say, whatever they are,
-
they on my feet, I'm gonna make them real hallelujah.
-
Sometimes listen, that's the possibility that you may have some
-
fake stuff going on in your life and you just
-
make it real. But if it's gonna be real, it
-
has to be genuine. It has to be authentic.
-
Man. It has to be facts.
-
It have to be something that exists, something that's currying
-
right now, like real time. Right now, we're having real
-
time church. This is real church that looking on Facebook.
-
This is real time. You ain't got to go back
-
and look at it because this is the original cut.
-
Oh I wish I had somebody hallelujah, hallelujah. Yeah.
-
Yeah.
-
So real as a fact, it's not something that we imagine.
-
It's not about our imagination because we can imagine some
-
things that's set up in our hearts. When we talk
-
about something real, if it's real, then it has to
-
be something that we can touch. Oh come on, somebody,
-
let me get it, Let me get it close to you.
-
It's not just in your mind. Some of us can
-
be delusional and we can think of something that is real,
-
but it's not a reality. Okay, hallelujah, Uh huh yeah, yeah,
-
it's something if it's real.
-
A breath chritzy it has to be something that.
-
You can touch, It has to be something you can taste,
-
It has to be something that you can see, smell,
-
or feel. But the truth of the matter is that
-
it's not an ideal, it's not a hope, it's not
-
anything that is fake. Tell your neighbor is real, it's genuine.
-
Tell them it's authentic. It's authentic. You can't pay for it,
-
not for love. You can pray for a whole bunch
-
of stuff. You can pay for relationships. You can pray
-
for a prayer, pardon if you want to. You can
-
pay for a church. You can that folks in the
-
world today, that's paying people to come to church. When
-
God want their heart, You paying for them. They coming
-
because they want your money. Oh come on now, somebody,
-
Oh my God. Or when it come down to the
-
fact that if it's if something can be real, then
-
on the other hand, then there has to be a
-
fake love.
-
That exerts or exerts that something is not genuine.
-
And if it's not genuine, can I talk to you
-
for a moment, then it's counterfeit. Some of us are
-
dealing with counterfeit love. We have declared that it's real
-
because we got them on our feet, but they did
-
they did it really come from the originator of what
-
love is.
-
We can fit.
-
We get certain things that look real, but we shop
-
at black markets.
-
Yeah we look uh you know.
-
In other words, when we get something that's counterfeit, it
-
looks the part, but it doesn't have the same quality.
-
Let me say that again.
-
I say it looks the part, but it does not
-
have the same quality.
-
M hm.
-
So when I pick up a prairl Jeordan, I gotta
-
see how much they wait because I've done been to
-
the bazaar s Shir and I picked up the Jordans.
-
And when I compare the counterfeit, oh God, y'all ain't
-
talking to me to the genuine pair. The weight is
-
not the same. I got a proud Jordan right now
-
I've been having for twelve years. They ain't got a
-
terror in the soul. That's because that genuine. But as
-
soon as you get some fake shoes of fake Jordan's,
-
guess what they gonna tear up like pro wings. Y'all
-
understand that we got that been Levenie, you gotta be
-
in Levine's, but that you gotta know what Levieni's is.
-
Come on. You gotta know what the three for twenty years.
-
Come on, somebody, I have melp pro Wen and you
-
know pro we ain't make your feast stink. The inside
-
of the shooting it isn't do right, you know, And
-
I mean the quality is that. I mean, listen, they
-
got some shoes that looked like Jay. But man, listen,
-
on the inside of it, it ain't running right. The
-
souls ain't staying together. Come on, somebody, hallylujah. It's counterfit.
-
You got it, black market? You know you got it
-
black market.
-
Come on. I've been high sight with my wife the
-
last couple of days.
-
Now the men around these these bracelet necklaces with these this, this,
-
these diamonds. I mean, like everywhere. You know, it's like
-
the fat now right, all of this. Look at the
-
football player they all dimn niggas. Some one too.
-
I said that ain't real.
-
She said, yeah it is. She said they got money.
-
I say, rappers got money too, And it's fake.
-
Thank you.
-
Listen. It can look real. But if you test it,
-
come on, somebody. And the way you test gold is
-
you take a magnet to it and if the magnet
-
causes that chain to link to the magnet. Then it's
-
not real gold. Oh yeah, I ain't heard, but I
-
said in other words, it's a metal and it's not gold,
-
it's iron or something. Hallelujah. Again, this counterfeit another word.
-
Some of the fake is fake, is not real. It
-
is forged. Not only is it forged, but the truth
-
of the matter is is that some of us have
-
committed forgery about love. What do you mean by forgery
-
is that you endorse yourself to something that you ain't
-
supposed to put your name on. Oh God, they don't
-
want to talk to me in here, hallelujah. You probably
-
don't need to be in that relationship because you ain't married,
-
but you're forging the marriage certificate. You may not need
-
to be in that place. Come on, y'all, don't know.
-
I know, I know. I'm just in the text. It's
-
gonna get to the text real good. Hallelujah. Listen, some
-
of us have committed forgery by endorsing our names the
-
things that we should not be attached to. And the
-
reason we're going through what we're going through because there's
-
a lawsuit against you for committing the act of forgery.
-
You might not ever go to the courts, but life
-
would never treat you the same as long as you've
-
committed forgery and you're living on a hot check. Oh God,
-
I wish I had somebody to talk to me. Hallelujah.
-
You may got it, but you don't feel comfortable with it. Hallelujah.
-
You might have the spouse, you might have the man,
-
you may have the relationship, you may have the job.
-
But guess what, you ain't comfortable with it. Why because
-
you forged your name. Hallelujah. Now, some things that you
-
thought God gave to you, really God didn't give them
-
to you. Forged you and you would and got him.
-
That's why you got two or three. Oh card, they
-
don't want to talk to me today. That's why you
-
got two or three job trying to keep up, come
-
on with the joneses and you know you can't afford it,
-
but you want to look good and you're broke.
-
Oh, y'all don't want to say hallelujah today. Hallelujah.
-
Oh God, let me talk to some folks from the street.
-
Y'all look like church folks. Church. Oh don't like God, No,
-
because y'all have like you ain't never done nothing like that.
-
I know you gonna have floating some checks. Hallelujah. I'm
-
just gonna float this one. Hallelujah. Pay the thirty three
-
dollars charge. Yes, I mean you donna pay come ocause
-
what you do that ain't right, y gotta pay for it,
-
and it's gonna keep you in debt because you afford
-
something that you should not have ever endorsed your name on.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Tell your neighbors, say, neighbor, don't endorse your name on
-
something that don't belong to you. Don't come it after
-
something that doesn't.
-
Belong to you.
-
Even though they got it, you don't know what it
-
took for them to get it. Whatever you need to
-
get it, make sure that you get it done and
-
you get it right. Hallelujah. Tell your neighbors and neighbor,
-
please don't forard your name. You trying to make the
-
relationship work. It ain't gonna work. It ain't worked for
-
the last thirty years. Come on, somebody, you forging the relationship. Hallelujah.
-
You forging for people to like you. They ain't gonna

-

-
Some of us are backslaughters because we don't know no better.
-
You ain't been talk yet.
-
You know, you've been a back stable all your life.
-
It ain't just started.
-
You think that people in prison are bumping their head
-
on the wall. They just started doing that. They were
-
doing that, but they was three.
-
That old nature.
-
That old man is still doing what the old man
-
was doing because it han't identified that you a new
-
creature in Christ.
-
Oh, I wish I had a neighbor here. Hallelujah.
-
Tell your neighbors and neighbor quit it, man, quit it,
-
quit it, hallelujah. Yeah, tell him you you got a
-
new man on you now, tell him put on the
-
new man and shame for the old.
-
Yeah.
-
He said, Now I like this because they said it's
-
in the book, and I feed and they say, now
-
I want you.
-
You got the new man. Put on the new man. Watchit.
-
That's created. Watch this after God. The new man does
-
not look like your old man. You are a new creation.
-
You are made new. Old things have passed away, and behold,
-
all things have become new. Hey, man, tell your neighbor,
-
I'm brand new. Somebody just snipping and say, that's mall new, right,
-
now come on, come on this new it's new, because
-

Hallelujah, some new things about to happen in your life
-

-
on to them old behaviors because you are a new man.

Tell your neighbor, I can't hold on to that. I
-
gotta pull out off. Oh my God, we put a
-
new man that's created that to God, watch this. I
-
like this in righteousness. And then he says, in true holiness.
-
Why you just didn't say holiness? Why say true holiness?
-
Because that's some folks as in church that act holy,
-
but they're not.
-
Can I get a witness?
-
You sing like you holy, you walk like your holy,
-
but behind closed doors? Come on, somebody, you're not holy? Hallelujah.
-
You're nice publicly, but what does your life look privately? Ah,
-
Come on somebody, hallelujah, because your private life actually should
-
reflect your public life rather than your public life. High
-
siding about what you look like and going in because
-
your faith out here and then you reel in there?
-
Real what real boog a wolf?
-
H a real brawler, a real fighter. Can I talk
-
to you today? Hallelujah? In other words, he said, listen,
-
it's time for us to put on the new man.
-
And sometimes we have a difficult time having good relationship
-
with the father because we've had toxic relationships. If you
-
had a good relationship with your mom and dad, you
-
know what the father is like as far as being
-
a good father, a good mother. If you had wonderful siblings,
-
you know how he is to be a good brother.
-
You know, if you had good relationships her spouse relationship,
-
you know what it's like to be a good husband
-
or a good wife. But some of us haven't had
-
the luxury. Can I say that we haven't had the
-
luxury have good, healthy relationships. In other words, we grew
-
up in toxic communications. And that's why the world of
-
Pastor Jade loved toxic songs. You know, I got you
-
your man and I send him back home. But of
-
God what I needed to get. I'm cool with that,
-
you my side piece. Come on, somebody tell your naghbor
-
that's toxic man. Uhuh, that's toxic.
-
That was one. I know. I haven't heard him, but
-
I did the research, and don't get to day.
-
Britney Spears wrote a song called Toxic and Tried Perfectly.
-
What it says is that love is like a drug.
-
Even though it's damaging you, you can't stop doing it.
-
That's some forging that's going on in the church.
-
Come on, somebody, you know you want to stop because
-
when you thought to do good even as always present,
-
which I got to move out the hallelujah, and yet
-
you still in.
-
That same relationship.
-
Another person, Amy wine House, said, back to Back Back
-
to Back says deeply emotional song delivertyes for themes of addiction, betrayal,
-
and emotional numbness. Falls back into the old habits and
-
despair after the end of a toxic love affair. You
-
know he wasn't right. You can't make him rite either.
-
Have you all been a relationship? You try to fix
-
them to be how you want them to be. Tell
-
your neighbors, say, neighbor, that's a toxic relationship. Another one
-
was take a Bow by another lady. And so in
-
beside the idea that partners deceitfully behavior, what's all just
-
an act? And so she says, take a bow, it's
-
a bold declaration of self respect, making a strong anthem
-
for anyone breaking free from a toxic relationship.
-
Well, why did I bring that up today?
-
Because when we're dealing with this particular church and these
-
particular people in this text, we're dealing with the gentiles
-
who have lived in the culture of toxic relationships, and
-
so it becomes that when you are relationship in toxic
-
relationships to have a good, healthy relationship with God, some
-
of us are challenged because we're trying to figure out
-
why is it that I really can't love God like
-
I really want to. Why I can't praise God like
-
I really want to. Why I can't be devoted to
-
God like I really want to. I really want to,
-
but I just can't do it. The reason being that
-
some of us have been in toxic relationships that relate
-
to our relationship with God. That's hindering us from having
-
a closer walk with God. And God told me to
-
tell you today that he's about to break you loose. Hallelujah.
-
He's about your free your heart so that you can
-
love Him with everything you got in your mind, your soul,
-
as well as your spirit. I need somebody to hear
-
the shout I love God, man, I love God. Hallelujah.
-
Your neighbors and neighbor you don't love God? What's wrong
-
with you?
-
God? Th lujah?
-
Have you been in a toxic relationship, in the toss
-
of relationship, going into a toss of relationship that's causing
-
you not to get close to God? Come on, somebody, hallelujah. Now,
-
God loves you, but he hates the seing that we do. Hallelujah.
-
And so he'll lay down his life just to get you.
-
But he don't like the seeing that's in you. And
-
sometimes when you cheating on God, you can't have a
-
closer relationship with God because he don't share you with
-
nobody else. Oh, I wish I had somebody. I'm trying
-
to just come it down just a little bit. In
-
other words, you can't catch God and you and somebody
-
else in the same bed. I'll put it that way. Hallelujah.
-
Can y'all say it like that? Hallelujah? God, you can't
-
love God and love somebody else. Come on, somebody. You
-
got to put God first. I said, you gotta put
-
God first. And God don't leave no confusion about how
-
you ought to love him. He said, you ought to
-
love me with all of your heart, all of your mind,
-
all of your shit, all of your power.
-
In other words, all of you. Hallelujah.
-
He's not looking for a corner, he's not looking for
-
a side piece. He's not looking for somebody that needs
-
a sugarnad. And he needs somebody that don't gonna love
-
him for his sacrifice for you. Come on, somebody, hallelujah,
-
because most of us come to church because we looking
-
for a blessing for God.
-
But concept I just want you to love him me
-
for who I am.
-
And if I don't do enough, I wish I had
-
a few folk up in here. Gord. If you don't
-
do another finger in my life, hallelujah, you have turn
-
enough and.
-
I'm gonna praise you for who you are.
-
Oh you are to give God praise right there. Hallelujah.
-
I'm gonna praise you for who you are. Hallelujah. He
-
said to understand that what is real love a copy
-
love which is a selfless in other words, is a
-
love that gilds and not just take. It seeks after
-
the well being of others. It's not vain, but it
-
deals with this acronym of joy. Somebody shall joy. What
-
is real love. Real love is the love Jesus first, hallelujah,
-
and make him the center of your life. And then
-
cycle into love others, hallelujah. And then lastly to love yourself. So,
-
when we were talking about this particular church living in
-
the toxic relationship, Paul has to come back and teach
-
them what real love is. And so he says now
-
that in his first statement, writing this down, real love
-
imitate the love of God. Write that down, real love
-
imitates the love of God. As we looking at the
-
scripture Ephesian fave and one say, be you there for
-
followers of God as dear children. When you talking about followers,
-
that mean that you want to imitate your daddy. In
-
other words, you have by house some characteristics and some
-
attributes that look just like your far. You ought to
-
have his characterisms, in his traits of love, of giving
-
them sacrifice of all the things that he carries, the
-
show that he heals God. In other words, that talks
-
about now back that you are to follow him as
-
their children. In other words, as if you are somebody
-
who is dearly loved, And he says, because you are
-
dearly loved, then you ought to have my characteristics in
-
you and some of the characteristics that we find in
-
the Bible. That God is a giver hallelujah. Tell your
-
neighbors and neighbor. Love is an action word, hallylujah. In
-
other words, you got to do something to show an
-
expression of love. And so God said, listen, I'm not
-
gonna only tell you that I love you.
-
I'm not gonna just speak it out of my mouth,
-
but I'm gonna show you that I love you.
-
And we find then in the textis John three and sixteen.
-
For God so loved the world. I wish I had somebody.
-
For God so loved the world that he he gave,
-
He's an action to your neighbor. It's an action word.
-
You you got to show love. You can't love what
-
you don't show action too. You may say you love them,
-
but you got to show them that you loved him.
-
Hallelujah.
-
So the Bible of the class God so loved the
-
world that he gave his only begotten shuned that whosoever
-
believed in him should not paris, but have what ever
-
last in life. Tell your neighbors and neighbor a. We
-
ought to imitate God's love. We ought to be give
-
us and not take us hallelujah. We gotta look for
-
the moments and opportunities that we're not looking for a blessing.
-
But now it's time for us to pass how to
-
bless it.
-
I'm trying to tell you today, as you express God
-
loves on today, the more you give, God said, I'm
-
gonna give it back to you.
-
Hallelujah. I'm gonna give it to your good measure.
-
Press chund shaking together and running over were men pouring
-
to your bosoms.
-
Listen.
-
The reason we give God praise and glory because he
-
gave the greatest gift that keep on giving. And his
-
name is Jesus. And that's why we can't stop giving
-
them praise. Come on, we can't stop giving them glory
-
because of the gift that he can't And as long
-
as you give Card's gifts out to other people, they
-
can't help but to give God pray. I see something
-
that's going on in your community. I see something that's
-
about the shake in your house. God, people all around
-
the world is about the praise card because you are
-
an imitation of who God is. In other words, they
-
don't have to look toward Heaven to seek God. They
-
can see Card in you. Tell your neighbor, I imitate him.
-
Hallelujah. It's about an action word.
-
Even when we was with our strength according to Romans
-
five to six, say with our strength, this is love
-
and more than just words. Hallelu somebody shall real love.
-
Tell your neighbors and neighbor, I'm looking for real love,
-
Oh Card, Come on, somebody. You ain't got to look
-
very far, because in this book, that sixty six books,
-
Card shows us his love from Genesis to Revelation. And
-
he didn't have to wait for us to be complete
-
in order to show us his love. See you trying
-
to wait for people to get together first before I
-
can show him love.
-
I ain't gonna love him.
-
They don't tell me that the Bible, the class love
-
your enemy, Oh Gord, hallelujah.
-
I wish I had somebody, hallelujah. Somebody, y'all real love.
-
That's real love when you can love your enemy and
-
you can pray for them. That what despitefully use you.
-
I wish I had somebody in here, hallelujah. That was
-
a man one time put a knife.
-
In my back.
-
I probably never knew business with him again, but I
-
love him, hallelujah. I ain't got nothing against him, hallelujah.
-
Why that's real love. I can't do that by myself.
-
The only way you can forgive certain things that have
-
happening in your life. That's some trauma that you've been through,
-
that change and confused your life. But God have put
-
in your heart to love and to forgive. And the
-
only the way you can do that is because you
-
got cards love in your heart. I wish I had
-
somebody that would fake God for his love, because you
-
can't do this by yourself without the love of God. Said,
-
when you was here with our strength due season, he
-
sent Christ for the ungodly. He said, for specially with
-
a man, send one would die for one who is righteous.
-
I ain't gonna send somebody for us who are wrong,
-
who are unrighteous. And if he did it while we
-
was without strength, if he did it while we was
-
in sin, will he not do much more?
-
Come on, will you not do much more?
-
See you trying to you trying to love the greatest
-
of them, But you got to love the least of them.
-
Oh, card, come on, somebody, hallelujah.
-
You you're trying to you trying to love people that
-
you think you can get a favor from hallelujah. If
-
you're trying to love somebody that if you give to them,
-
they can give it back to your Now nothing, listen,
-
listen to the Bible of class. You're gonna start lending
-
the folks that can't even give back to you, and
-
you gonna show expressions of love. Come on, somebody that
-
when they come to your door and ask for a
-
piece of bread, you ain't gonna tell them I'm gonna
-
pray for you, but you're gonna feed them out card.
-
Come on, somebody tell your laghbor say, neighbor. Love is
-
an action word. Hallelujah. So he sitting the son Jesus Christ, hallelujah.
-
That real love imitates the love of God. We think
-
about love the Bible of class. What is love? Love
-
suffer alone? Love is kind, love envy not love vaunted,
-
not itself. Love is not puffed up. Does not say
-
behave itself unseemly. It seeking not her own. It's not
-
easily provoked. It thinketh no evil. I wish I had somebody. Hallelujah.
-
It joins not in iniquity, but rejoiced in truth. I
-
wish I had somebody right there. Hallelujah. Yeah, love bearing
-
all things it believe it all things, and hoping all
-
things as matter of fact, get in dur it.
-
Oh God, thank you. I got some preachers now and.
-
Now by the faith, Hope, charity, but these three the
-
greatest of these. It's love. Tell your neighbors and neighbor.
-
Real love imitates the love of God. In other words,
-
I'm gonna give a man and not a stealer.
-
Hallelujah.
-
I ain't trying to rob you for nothing, Oh God, hallelujah.
-
I ain't trying to get nothing out of you. I
-
was riding with Pops on the other day. He said, Man,
-
I got a big heart. Thank you for what you
-
did today. He said, I have a big heart that
-
when I give, I'm not looking for anything back, which
-
I had somebody.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Sometimes listen, I know they say they gonna borrow from you,
-
but they said that twenty times more so, whatever they
-
borrowed this time, they probably.
-
Give it back. Probably aint gonna give it back to you.
-
Hey, man, don't hold him hostage. Come on, God, come on,
-
I say, don't hold him. How you know they ain't
-
gonna pay you back, But don't worry about it. If
-
you give, I'm telling you again, it's gonna be giving
-
back to you. Hallelujah. That even when you lend to
-
the poort, it's like lending to God. Tell your neighbor,
-
I'm an imitator of cards love. Hallelujah.
-
I show Card's love.
-
I'm not looking Oh God, you ain't gonna help me
-
preach up in here. I ain't looking for nothing back. Hallelujah.
-
You ain't gotta pay me a penchion. I ain't got
-
the have insurance. Come on, I'm doing an online class.
-
It takes a lot of work, that's all right. I
-
sacrifice for whatever Card woman to do, for people to
-
get better in that life. Tell your neighbor, you ain't
-
got to look for nothing back. Card will pay you back.
-
He's got a record in heaven and also in earth.
-
He know what you have done. He have counted your
-
love of compassion to the saints. And guess what his
-
purposes and his promises. It's not in vain. If he
-
said he's gonna do it, he's gonna do it. He
-
did it for Abraham, he did it for Jacob, he
-
did it for Isaac and He's gonna do it for you.
-
Not only do it do that for them, he also
-
did it for me. I wish I had somebody in
-
here that was shot card. Thank you for doing it
-
for me. Whoa Hallenjah, hallelujah. Tell your name was a
-
neighbor ah. Tell him that's real. That's real love. The
-
second thing, real love imitates the love of Christ for others.
-
He's saying, walk in love.
-
As Christ also had loved us and had given himself
-
for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for
-
a sweet smelling sorver. In other words, God said to Jesus,
-
he does the things that pleases Me. And when you
-
do the things that pleases God by helping your brother
-
or sister out, he said, put a smile on his face.
-
And you got to understand that we.
-
Reflect the loving, sacrificial nature of Jesus Christ. And so
-
the Bible concern repel and says, if there be any
-
consolation in Christ, and if there be any comfort of love,
-
and if any fellowship of the spirit and it bowls
-
and mercies, He said, fulfilled he my joy that you
-
may be like minded, having that same love, being on
-
one accord, being of one mind. And then he said,
-
letting nothing be done through strife and vain glory, but
-
in loneliness of mind, let each other esteem each other
-
better than themselves.
-
Tell your neighbors and neighbor. That kills my.
-
Life's joy when I can put others before myself because
-
they put a smile on God's face. I'm so glad
-
that he called me, not only just to be called
-
for a position or a title of a pastor, but
-
what I am. I am a servant, and I don't
-
mind serving you. I don't mind washing your feet like
-
Jesus watch the feet of his disciples. Because when I
-
serve others, I put a smile on God's face. And
-
I don't know I'm about you, but I'm about to
-
put a smile on God's face. That every time I
-
speak a word, I put a smile on his face,
-
And every time I pray for somebody else, I put
-
a smile on his face. And every time I'm a
-
blessing to somebody else, I said, somebody else. Come on,
-
I know you looking for a blessing with you, you're
-
foid and no more. But God say you got to
-
look out for others, because I'm getting ready to bless
-
you in twenty twenty six, that the blessing is gonna
-
be so abundant that it's gonna spill out on somebody else.
-
I come to tell you that God is getting ready
-
to bless you to be a blessing to somebody else.
-
That you don't have to wait in the food line,
-
that you don't have to wait in the world for
-
a line. But God tell you gonna start pulling out
-
money and giving out kills and sharing his son Jesus Christ.
-
I wish I.
-
Had somebody in here that would shout joy. Somebody shout joy.
-
I'm gonna give God the praise, but I'm gonna bend
-
my bending knees to be a help to my brother.
-
The Bible says, let the weak say that I'm strown.
-
It also says let the strong birth the infirmities up
-
the week. Don't look down on him to put him
-
down on the ground. But when you look down on somebody,
-
shut forth your hand and pick him up. In the
-
name of Jesus, I thank God for those that is
-
in the house, because I come here to pick you up.
-
You may have been down in your spirit, but He's
-
a cleaner. Picker up God is picking you up to
-
lift up your hung down heads to when his carriage
-
of responded heart. Look to the heels from which come
-
at your help, all of your help coming from the Lord.
-
I amnna take Christ. So follow me as I follow Christ.
-
Somebody ain't giving praise. Somebody ain't giving praise. So when
-
we talk about love, love is a sacripe. May not
-
want to do it, but I love you. May not
-
want to forgive, but I love you. Might want to
-
turn the up way, but I love you. It's a
-
sacrificial appeal that even when you don't want to do it,
-
I'll go down there, will let anybody go.
-
He looked in the heavens, and looked in the earth,
-
and looked under the earth, and couldn't find nobody.
-
But if there was a little lamb, you ain't got
-
to be big, Just be a little lamb ready for
-
the sacrifice. I'm just a little lamb ready for the sacrifice.
-
He saw a little lamb that had been shrinking blood
-
from the foundations of the earth, and that little lamb said,
-
if you can't find nobody, you can send me.
-
Who am I working with?
-
Off? Say, Lord, you can send me. You can send
-
me if you can't find nobody, somebody shout out coat,
-
I'll go if I got to go all by myself,
-
but I will go. And my third one is real
-
love chans the very present of evil. For the Bible,
-
sex as becoming children, as walking in love.
-
Now become it saint.
-
Put away for nicasion, all uncleanliness comforciousness. Let it not
-
be once more named among you as become its saints.
-
He say, neither filterness nor foolish talking, a foolish jesting
-
your neighbor, your neighbor, split it away because it's not convenient,
-
it's not productive, rather than talk about people.
-
Kill card praise rather than criticize him.
-
Kill Cad praise rather than the panddem kim cad praise.
-
Because we know that no hormonger, that, no unclean person,
-
no uncovetous man who is in the knowledgship shout inherit
-
the Kingdom of God. If we don't do and.
-
L walk like God want us to walk in real love.
-
Tell your neighbor, say, neighbor, I'm loving for real love.
-
I'm looking for.
-
God's love because God is help me. Shout cards help
-
his head again.
-
Cardians. Card is love hallelujah.
-
He's a light that's shining my life.
-
Shall yes, shall yes, shout yes.
-
So I'm walking in love for the glory of Card
-
to me is pounding in the earth.
-
I'm walking in real love.
-
Thank God that I can look at his example and
-
his sacrifice to see what real love is. I don't
-
have to count on you, and you ain't got to
-
count on me. But I count on Card to show.
-
Me real love.
-
Because when I can love God, I can love my wife. Oh,
-
when I can love God, I can love my enemies
-
when I love Card God, I can love my church.
-
When I love God, I can love my children. When
-
I love God, I can love Donald Trump. When I
-
love God. I appreciate the devil because if I had
-
not been afflicted, I wouldn't have never came to this
-
point of glory.
-
Tell your neighbor, say neighbor, it's time to go higher.
-
Somebody shot higher, somebody shot higher, somebody shot higher than
-
God's Lord. Time to go hire, time to go higher.
-
For the gentiles, they wouldn't say they didn't grow up
-
in the church. They may be familiar with the church,
-
but they ended up either being in the world. Are
-
going back to the world, and Paul wanted them to
-
know where it's new creatures putting on the new man.
-
You cannot do that's a new man what the old
-
man used to do. But this new man we imitate
-
who God is. We imitate the love of God. And
-
that's becoming saints. We shone all the very appearance the
-
garments of evil.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Tell your neighbor said, nahbor, that's holy, man, that's holy.
-
Holy is a product of righteousness. Hallelujah. The righteousness of
-
God means bringing it back to original intent. Holyness is
-
a product of bringing things to his original intent.
-
What does that mean? God says, Listen, I'm gonna give
-
your dominion. I'm gonna multiply you. I'm gonna give you
-
the power to subdue. You're gonna be fruitful.
-
If you want twenty twenty sixty to see be what
-
God wanted to be, you gotta walk in
