I was just in praising worship, and I think in
-
every Sunday that we're in praising worship, there may be
-
a limited of people, but there's no limitation to the
-
spirit of God.
-
Let me say that again.
-
That may be a limited there might be some empty
-
seats in here, but I tell you what, the Spirit
-
of God fills this room with praise and worship. Why
-
don't you praise in one more time and say, Lord,
-
let your glory fill this house. Let your glory come
-
on feel this house, holland on you, Let your glory.
-
Fill this house.
-

-

-
your voices would be heard throughout the entire world. Hallelujah.
-
So there is a sound that touches heaven. Hallelujah. There's
-
a sound that's touching Heaven, and that your sound will
-
travel through the.
-
Entire world, hallelujah. Who Glover to God.

And as we have come back from Liberia, I know
-
that the Lord have given us exhortation and word of
-
proclamation that every person that's in this house cannot declare
-
this on you right now. I don't know how you're
-
gonna respond, but I just want to declare it to
-
you because it's been said, and I like listening to
-
the Lord, and the Lord said to you, you are
-

-
I would like to share with you. God is gonna

shift us from the mindset of looking and seeking miracles.

The gentiles seek miracles, the believers make miracles happen. Let
-

-
damn few people. Well, y'all, I know somebody said I
-

-
you can repeat to God what he's said, and his
-
word won't come back to your mart that I'm.

Better than blessed. I'm blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed. Tell your
-
neighbor's a shift man. There's a shift hallelujah.
-
All right, you probably you're probably looking for it in
-
the physical, but it happens in your mind, because if
-
it ain't your mind, you can't speak it.
-
Hallelujah. God said, I'm getting ready to shift your mind. Hallelujah.

That you're gonna quit looking for stuff and stuff.
-
Don't start looking for you. I gotta get out of here,
-

-
for a classing, and looking for a press parade, and
-

To God, last saying, and I'll go into the word
-
of the Lord, and I thank God for my beautiful wife.
-
Traveled all the way to Africa. They say, you are
-
African queen. Hallelujah. Flap your hands for my first lady. Hallelujah.
-
She did so good. I tried to scare the life
-
out of her before we left, you know, I said, yeah,
-
you're gonna you're gonna be skinty. You're gonna be skinny
-
when you come back. They don't say nothing but fish.
-
You know.
-
Elda Johnson with us, he eat no vegetable, no fish,
-
none of that.
-
So him and and love they gotta come and denumbinator.
-
But anyway, set her up and said, girl, the food
-

-
American food every night. Amen, hallelujah. We was out in
-
the country.
-
Amen. They said, what do you want? You are a queen.
-
What you want And she said, I want pizza, pizza
-
and Africa and we want hamburger and chicken sandwich. Listen,
-
that lady got her pizza, hamburger and chickens. And hey, man,
-
give God the praise for our third lady, a man
-

-

-
a man. Clap your hands for our for our first lady, hallelujah.
-
Clap your hands again and give God praise. Hey man,
-
we're excited. Let's go into the Word of the Lord again.
-
We're still working on our expository teaching and preaching. Thank
-
God for our friends. Family has here. What's up, John,
-
Good to see your brother, heymen, Good to see all
-
of you that are here on today. Expository teaching allows
-
us the opportunity to be subject to the text, rather
-
than the text being subject to us. We've been studying
-
in the Book of Ephesians. The Book of Ephesians really
-
declares to us the richest that we have that's in
-
Christ Jesus. Tell your neighbors, say, neighbor, because you have Christ,
-
you are rich and famous.
-
Oh God, ily lujah, ily lujah, aly lujah, hallelujah.
-
You are rich and famous.
-
This book declares all of the riches that we have
-
in Christ Jesus and speaks of the mysteries of Christ
-
and really understanding those mysteries of Christ, that we naturally
-
have to pray amen to really understand the deftness of
-
those riches. So he says, pray, when you pray, pray
-
that you may understand the hope of his calling, that
-
you may understand the hope of your calling, of the
-
riches of the inheritance that Christ have invested in us.
-
And then what is the exceeding greatness of his power
-
that is in Christ Jesus when he raised him from
-
the dead.
-
But we are rich.
-
This book is extremely rich, and the people that he's
-
talking to are extremely and abundantly rich. We talked about
-
him to the God and whom we pray to Mother Johnson,
-
And we know that the God who is of heaven
-
and the earth, a man who's the father of every
-
person that's ever lived, he's able to do exceedingly abundantly
-
above all ask or think. But the power that's invested,
-
that's why we don't pray to budd him. That's why
-
we don't pray a man who the Muslim, they don't
-
pray it to the Hindu. We don't pay you to
-
how how because they can't do nothing, they still dead.
-
But Jesus ishlylujah.
-
We know he's alive. Because he's alive inside of me. Hallelujah.
-
Because he lives, I can face tomorrow. Haigllelujah. Because he lives.
-
We thank God for that. But the rich book. So
-
today we're going into the Book of Ephesus again, chapter
-
number four, and we'll be reading in your hearing a
-
man Versus one through verse number six, Verses one through
-
verse number six. When you have it, stand on your
-
feet for the reading of God's word. Hallelujah, hallelujah. I
-
therefore the prisoner of the Lord. And he says, here,
-
I beseech you. What he says is that I'm begging,
-
I'm pleading, I'm persuading with you on this note, that
-
you understand the richest that God has placed in you.
-
He says, I beseech you that ye want walk worthy
-
of the vocation where with you are called. And then
-
it said, it's the way you walk, how with all
-
loneliness and meekness, with long suffering for bearing one another
-
in love. And verse number three he says endeavoring to
-
keep the unity of the spirit in the bund of peace,
-
and declares there is one body, one spirit, even as
-
you are called in one hope of your calling. There
-
is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and
-
Father of all, who is above all, through all, and
-
in you all that we keep the unity of the spirit.
-
He says, I beseech you that you walk worthy of
-
the call, worthy of what you have received in Christ Jesus,
-
that you walk in the worth and the value of
-
what God called you to be and what God called
-
you to do. In other words, how do we live
-
out the life of the Kingdom of God by demonstrating
-
how God how we should conduct ourselves and our lifestyle
-
that matches the high value and the glorious nature of
-
our divine calling. So today my thought is the kingdom
-
lifestyle of the rich and famous, the kingdom lifestyle of
-
the rich and famous. Again, how do believers conduct in
-
lifestyle that matches the value of what God has placed
-
in us in the glorious nature of this divine calling? Father,
-
I thank you now for your word, or thank you
-
for what you're gonna do, what you would say through
-
these lips of claim, Thank you God for preparing the
-
hearts of your people to receive your word on today.
-
So God, we don't have to wait for the batteries.
-
Or we have an expectation that, by the power of
-
the Holy Spirit, that you would teach us, lead us,
-
and guide.
-
Us in all truth in Jesus' names.
-
Shout Amen, high five at least three, four, five, six,
-
seven people and tell him the lifestyle of the rich
-
and famous, the life style, the lifestyle. You can put
-
that fan on up here closer to me, Amen, thank you,
-
Pastor tell him the lifestyle of the rich and famous.
-
Amen, the lifestyle. Amen. Listen.

-
I was watching The Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous,
-
I got to remind you that I lived in the projects. Hallelujah,
-

-
perhaps was a possibility that we didn't have no lights.
-
I don't know if there's somebody you know, I know,
-

-
to store, you know, some candles in our house. Amen, hallelujah.
-
We had like county y'all thought they were decoration. They
-
weren't for decorations. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Man, we had them candles
-
in the house because it may have come a time
-
that the lights may have went out.
-
Amen, hallelujah.
-
Man.
-
We grew up in a time that listen, we didn't
-
have the luxury. Can I just be honest with you.
-
We didn't have the luxury of a wash a machine
-
and a dryer connection like a connection in the house.
-
Come on, hallelujah. We didn't have that. But we had
-
a washer trier. Amen. And every now and again, now
-
we will.
-
Tie pillow cases together on our shoulders, me and my brother,
-
and we will carry it, amen, those clothes to the
-
lunder mat, so that we could do laundry.
-
Amen. But that came a time that John, Amen, that
-
we didn't.
-
Have no change and Mama didn't have no money, amen,
-
and so we could not take it to the washing
-
tier in order to wash our clothes.

But we had something like a parcelain tub, hallelujah.

-
and you hold that one. Come on, hold it like
-

Listen, boy, we we had it, but we we didn't
-
think about it until we seen the lifestyle of the
-
rich and famous.

We didn't even know we were poor, I said. We
-

-
Poor until they started broadcasting stuff on TV.
-

-
during those times, and still even still today, some folks
-
are still struggling because they don't live up to the
-

-
Come on, somebody, hallelujah, Glory to God. We were still
-
looking at the front of everybody up there, hallelujah. But
-
this is what we were looking at, amen, during the
-
times of the lifestyle of the rich and famous and
-
the song significant hell because we understand that this show, Amen,
-
was a narrative that gave us insight into.
-
What it looked like to live in a nice home.
-
Come on, some of us lived in rat infested community,
-
roach infested communities. I grew up in South Dollars, hey
-
Man burnt train and junction in South Dollars in Sunday,
-

-
to have you didn't have no double stick tape. I
-
don't know how you did it, super Bowl. I don't
-
even know if that was our hallelujah, But baby, please,
-
when we think about the rich and famous, we had
-
insight of opolite residents. It showed us glamorous lifestyles, showed
-
us man wealthy celebrities, can I get a witness? Wealthy
-
entertainers and wealthy athletes. We we we looked at them,
-
and the truth of the matter is is that we
-
he emited that stuff. Hallelujah ah. The lifestyle of the
-
rich and famous. It showcased some things that put an
-
aspiration and the desire in us of lavish homes. It
-
showed us how folks could have luxury cars and yachts
-
and take exotic vacations. And these folks was able to
-
spend over the top spending on habits of because of
-
their wealth and so we couldn't hard it because if
-
we bought anything outside of the building that you know
-
that Bill suffered, and some of us are still doing
-
that today at Christmas time. Hey man, you're gonna spend
-
some money that you know, go to the Life Bill,
-
go to LPN lt XU or whoever you got to,
-
go to atmosphere and the ja. Man. But we spent
-
that money so that we can satisfy the family. For
-
the truth of the matter is is that it put
-
us in there, hallelujah. But the lifestyle of the rigin
-
frame is created a wishing us. I wish I was rich.
-
I wish I had a nice home. I wish I
-
had a yacht. Can I get a witness up in here? Hallelujah?
-
I wish I could pay all of my bills and
-
not so come.
-
On, hallelujah, Glory to God.
-
I wish it drove in us a wish fulfillment the
-
narrative for us who were just average viewers who grew
-
up in the projects or grew up with wherever we are.
-
But we had an insight of what it could be.
-
Ah Yes showed and created a sense of aspiration and
-
an ah like wow, Man, and so it led us
-
to envy what others had.
-
Hallelujah. So yes, we wanted the homes.
-
We wanted the car, we wanted the yacht, we wanted
-
a man, the vacation, we wanted the spending money. Hey man,
-
we wanted all of those things, hallelujah. We wanted the
-
small bodies, we wanted the muscular frames. We wanted the
-
gold teeth and the change. Can I get a witness
-
up in here? Even on today, not only just on yesterday,
-
some of us are still looking at TV of the
-
lifestyle of the rich and famous, and yet we still
-
want to get what they have.
-
Hallelujah, Glory to God. But the truth of the matter
-
is is that.
-
They had all of those themes, and although they reached
-
the pinnacle of success and their personal professional and financial success,
-
yet they did not have they did not obtain the
-
riches of God's kingdom for kingdom excess. Because the truth
-
of the matter is is that when we get into
-
the word of the Lord, the Book of Matthew and
-
Matthew sixteen and twenty six say, what is it that
-
a man can gain the whole world?
-
Oh God, I feel the Holy goost right here yeah, yeah.
-
You can get all of this stuff and all of
-
this bling bling hallelujah, hallelujah. But if you don't have Christ,
-
you don't have anything. Hallelujah. If you ain't coming in
-
the blood, you don't have anything. If you don't have grace,
-
you don't have anything. If you don't have the Word,
-
you don't have anything. So what is it that a
-
man will gain, uh huh, the yacht, the car, the house,
-
the money, the value, and yet still lose his soul?
-
Or what would a man give in exchange for his soul?
-
You got to understand that when we come down to it,
-
that even in the generation in which we're living in today,
-
that there are some folks that's still not healthy in
-
their virtuality. Matter of fact, they are yet committing suicide hallelujah.
-
Even though they got the yacht, even though they got
-
the car, even though they got the jewelry, But yet
-
they're not emotionally stable, they're not psychologically stable. Come on,
-
can I get a witness up in here? Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
-
A money might can buy your happiness, but it came
-
by your love. Hallelujah. And folks, are loving for love
-
in all of the wrong places. Hallelujah. Yes, sir, it
-
can make you rich, but it can't make your healthy.
-
Hallelujah.
-
I wish I had somebody up in here. It can
-
make your rich, but it doesn't necessarily make you wealthy. Hallelujah.
-
He obtained everything, but yet have lost their souls. Mental
-
health having is shoes today, emotional help having isshoes today,
-
social help having issues today, psychological help ivan isshoes today.
-
The reason for this because they don't have the mindset
-
to cast down imaginations hallelujah. And even though they're going
-
through whatever they need to go through, yet they still
-
have some health issues. And the only way they can
-
be healed they got to own. They can only be
-
healed by the blood of Jesus. And that's why Jesus said,
-
I come for those that are not whole. So you
-
act like you hoole, you act like you complete, hallelujah,
-
and you don't realize that you unhealthy hallelujah, because you
-
don't have me, but because you are unhealthed. He's haid
-
to ain't come to them that will hold but them
-
who had.
-
Needed a physician hallelujah.
-
And so we got to learn that even in the
-
situations and what we're going through in life, that if
-
we could give counsel to any of those who are
-
yet unhealthy in all of those different aspects, you got
-
to learn how to cast down imaginations. Can I get
-
a witness up in here. You won't commit su side
-
if you cast down the imagination. You won't commit murder.
-
If you cast down their imagination. You won't be depressed,
-
if you cast down their imagination. If your cards, I
-

Don't take the worth of your calling for granted. See,
-
I see why we praise God. See the really the
-
level of praise and the level of worship goes back
-
to how much you can remember. Because if you if
-

-
you don't really get at his feet. You don't, you
-
don't lay at his feet. But if you can remember
-
where God brought you from, uh huh, you'll put some
-
more work to your praise. And I was listening to

the Holy Ghost because I've been hearing the spirit of

-
Yeah, that was a time. Now, let me g.
-
O Hey, God, oh God, that was a time that

-
Whoa you're telling me you're a joint air.
-
You didn't do nothing to earn it, but God showed
-
his favor and you ain't gonna praise it. You ain't
-
gonna appreciate that.
-
Enough with just reading scriptures. We are the manifestation of
-
the scripture. You gotta jump on your feel real quick
-

-

-
So everywhere you're received should be tested by fire to
-
prove if you have the attitude, the conduct, and the behavior.
-
To live up to the value that God has invested
-
in you.
-
Some of us are singing songs that we don't live out,
-
quoting scriptures we don't believe. Come on, somebody, hallelujah, preaching
-
sermons that's not really real to us.
-
We have like this ability to encourage other people. I
-
don't know. That's crazy. I don't know how.
-
Able it is encarriage over the people. And then when
-
it comes to me, that's crazy. How you gonna preach
-
the word and count yourself as a castaway? You ought
-
to be the first one who treaded out the coin.
-
So you ought to be the first one that treaded
-
out the coin.
-
And if you tread it out to quite a minute,
-
hit your teeth furs, So you ought to eat firs.

-
are you walking this? Here we go number one, he says,
-
walk in humility. Can I get a witness and the
-
folk that got that money selming gold, that got their
-
head up. But listen to every thing that we don't want,
-
is that we don't want pride? Iselujah. Listen to me
-
clothing about Mama's out as God elevate us in revelation knowledge,
-
not necessarily in position. Everybody a babe can have revelation knowledge.
-
I ain't talking about your position. But as God advanced
-
you in revelation, as He exalt you, you all humble yourself.
-
Can I say that again?
-
Hallelujah?
-
Folks asked Willy, well, what how you feel you feel
-
different about going?
-
Say no, I feel different. Hallelujah.
-
I'm at the alder, brother John, and I'm at the altar,
-
and I'm asking the elders to pray double portion over
-
their people. They did that, and all of a sudden,
-
the glory regard fell in the room. I was a
-
line from dew all the way to the back door,
-
and the first group of people that came to me
-
was a family or a church family, and they circled
-
around me. When they circled around me, two young men
-
kneeled down at my feet. I said, oh God, no,
-
I'll reach down and got both of them. Somebody shall
-
humble yourself. I say, you get yourself up. You get
-
yourself up, and don't you ever kneel down to another.
-
Man.
-
Oh God, you better you about to hear me hallelujah,
-
cause I'm not hearing. You're not here to exalt yourself.
-
I don't care how much gold and silver and howlder
-
come on get me. No, no, it ain't about you.
-
It's about God. And if you humble yourself, let me
-
say that I'm getting out of here third Pito five
-
and five. If you humble yourself under the mighty hand
-
of God, he will what exalt you in due season.
-
Come on, tell your neighbor, wait on your season. Man,
-
Oh y'ad, y'all ain't talking to me. Hallelujah, Wait on
-
your season. That's the lifestyle of the kingdom rich in favor.
-
Humble ourself under the mighty hand of the Card, that
-
he will may exult us in due season. Till your neighbor,
-
get ready for your season, because he see your humidity,
-
he see your faithfulness.
-
Hallelujah.
-
If you be faithful over a few things, he'll make.
-
Your ruler over a minute.
-
I don't know about you, but you want to encounas
-
somebody and tell him get ready to get ready, to
-
get ready, to get ready.
-
I might do too, maybe not all of them. God,
-
it's a good God, dog who is good.
-
The kingdom, lifes of original famous. Not only we walk
-
in humidity, we walk in meekness. They walk in meekness.
-
Meekness does not mean weakness. Because they talked about you
-
like a dog, and you ain't say nothing back. You
-
wasn't displaying weakness. You were just playing meekness. Come on, somebody, hallelujah. Now,
-
I'm fine to confuse a whole bunch of y'all if
-
they slap you on one cheek.
-
Look at you, y'all talking about the alder So I
-
don't know if I show weakness, right, come on, come on,
-
come on, hallelujah, Come on, come on and listen.
-
It is it is, say it is. He slap you
-
so hard? You turn?
-
He say you turn your head like, hey man, you

-
other cheek.
-
Hallelujah. Listen and listen.
-
And if you turn that cheek, I said, if you
-
turn that cheek, if you turn that cheek.
-
It is not a sign a weakness, but meanness.
-
Meanness means having power put under subjection. Oh I wish
-
I had that right quick. Come on, somebody, I say
-
Meekness means you got the power to do something. But
-
you ain't gonna explode this time. Electricity in the wire loose?
-
Come on, somebody, we'll start just showing things. But if
-
you put it in a wire and put it in
-
a switch, turn that switch out, turn it out, turn
-

-

-
I'll say something to you boy, hallelujah, hallelujah. I got
-
some holy word, but I still remember. But if you
-
keep your power on the subjection, hallelujah. They crucified Jesus.
-
He was God in the flesh. He hung up on
-
a rugged cross, nail's in his wrists and nails in
-
the hand of crown of thorns, and they pressed him
-
into syd. The Bible said he had power, said he
-
had power to call lesions.
-
Of angels, come on somebody to rescue with hallelujah.
-
But because he had his power under subjection, he wasn't weak.
-
He was meek.
-
Because he knew that after three days, Oh God, you
-
ain't heard what I said. I said after three days,
-
the ones who crucified him would have realized if you
-
had known who I was, you wouldn't have crucified me.
-
Because now I got more power to say more than
-
my dad that in my life.
-
Somebody shout double portion baby, kingdom lifestyle, humility, meekness, long suffering, patience,
-

-
don't know, Hollada, You're gonna start looking at situations differently.

-
It was problems, but now you see promises. So they
-
started out as burdens God, I got to but God said,
-
I'm turning them around for blessings. Ah, what they meant
-
for evil? Prophesigned to somebody right now. I don't know
-

-
