The Words of A Dying Man

Good evening, good evening, good evening, I said, good evening,

Glad to.

Be here, my God, Thank you, Lord God.

I wanna welcome you tonight to Eternal Fire Ministry as

the Holy Spirit Ministry and Extinguished.

You say, where is everybody else on vacation? Where have

you been?

Well, I've been doing a little bit of both. You know,

when God wants to speak, yes, I have to be obedient.

I know a lot of people struggle with that. I

struggle with it too, but you know what it is,

what it is.

I want to.

Welcome you tonight to our pot cast, my podcast ministry.

The gang is not here, except I got one pigeon,

like one pigeon.

That wants to stay behind.

Well temporarily that is, because in September she'll be gone

for two weeks and then I'll be left with the

two other pigeons, well whatever they are. April is still

down south doing her Southern sabbatical. No, she's in southern

Virginia and she'll be leaving for Louisiana in a couple

of weeks.

And then we have flipping that I.

Think she's flipping in her bed because it's been raining

up here and Louis is wrapped up in a burrito,

relaxing because.

We're in a living room marine in the pulping it.

We don't have to be in a pulpit because we

are the pulpits and we are the sanctuary.

I'm sure some of you already turned in say already,

not good enough for me if you're not in a building.

Well, if we're already the building, why do we have

to run to one?

All right, go ahead and say, man, someone might be

running to the wrong thing.

My name is Jonathan Hardwick, the one and only.

There are many names my first and last name, but

I'm the only one that's got the DNA of my father,

which is Jesus. Now it doesn't mean I always act

like Jesus, but I know who my father is, and

I want to wish all the father's happy Father's Day.

I know yesterday you had your day, but for me,

every day is Father's Day because I am striving to

do his will. And it can be difficult sometimes when

you've got a pestive flesh that wants to do its

will and its way. But what we found is is

that a lot of times we don't quite win when

we go in that course. If you'd like to get

in contact with this podcast, my number, my personal telephone

number is eight six.

Zero five zero zero eight three seven. You can call me,

leave a message, or text.

I know some of you are afraid to make phone

calls because for the past three years that we've been

on here, I haven't gotten one phone call. Maybe it's

because I'm not with an organization. I'm disorganized, and I'm

quite organized. I'm stepping out by faith and listening to

my father. Nobody said what you had to do was organized.

God just said, do you're the one that makes it difficult.

We make it difficult when we put our owners and oh,

I guess I'm talking.

About the wrong.

You know, when you made recipes for a disaster, when

you thought you knew what you were doing, and then

come to find out and steady you riding on the horse,

the horse was riding you. I'm only talking from my

own experience. I got a flesh man, and the flesh

does not want to do what God said needs to

be done.

I know none of you struggle with yours.

M Tonight, I want to talk about the very thing

most of us in this room are dealing with it,

including me. I want to talk about your death process,

and maybe that's why half the people aren't ear.

I want to talk about our daily dying to ourselves

and the words our flesh will use, or sentences or

statements it will use.

To let us know that our lifespan in the flesh

is coming to an end. Yes, I've made this statement

several times here and most of you have heard it,

and I pretty much made it a theme here. I said,

the funeral is happening, but you have not arrived yet.

They have the casket and the people are waiting, but

the body's not in it.

Oh, some of you don't get it. You'll hit it

in a minute.

The dying of our flesh is the mandate, that prerequisite

for experiencing the full experience of life in the spirit.

I've said this before.

Flesh and blood cannot inherit the things of the Kingdom.

When I talk about.

The flesh, I'm not talking about the body. I'm not

talking about your blonde hair in blue wig, I mean

blue eyes. I'm talking about the mindset of how we

think pertaining.

To the things of God.

I'm talking about the thoughts that when you're in bed

at night and they start attacking you in saying that

you are never going to amount to anything or get

to the destiny or the negativity of your flesh trying

to hind you. I'm talking about the thoughts. I'm not

talking about necessarily the actions. But in order to experience

the fullness of the spirit, your flesh, your thinking has

to die.

Oh, you thought you were going to take your thoughts

with you.

You thought you were going to take that carnal mine

into spiritual things.

There was a man in the Bible named Nicodemus.

He was a pharisee who came to Jesus at night,

and it asked him a question and said, how is

it that you're saying we can be born again? I'm paraphrasing,

And Jesus said, unless.

You are born again, it means that.

In order for you, your spirit man to be renewed,

you cannot accept kingdom.

And so the pharisee said, so you mean.

To tell me I've got to go through the womb

of a female and see it. Lets you know the

carnal mind that the pharisee had had. When Jesus is

really talking about spiritual things today, I'm going to bring

us all into the death.

Bed of our flesh.

The words of our flesh will say or statements when

we know we're at death's door. Now, wait a minute,

I thought you, when you were at death's door, you

were laying in your hospital bed. Well, some of you

are on the birds of being in the hospital bed,

but you.

Have not.

Accepted the dying process of your flesh. As a matter

of fact, some of you, including me, at times, had

found ourselves kicking and screaming at our process because we

don't like process. We like quickness without process.

See, every time they your food is created.

Or manufactured in a factory, some of it is processed.

It means that it goes through many different phases to

become edible to your mouth. You don't just get food

from a store. That food comes from somewhere, and even

when it is created, it goes through its own process,

through the growing process and the producing process to become

a fruit.

Oh y'all not trying to hear man.

So you thought the banana just arrived at the store

and you just came and picked it up. No, that

banana and that apple went through a process of growth,

and it even has seeds to and it has seeds

to accompany the growth of its process.

Oh see, that's a right there, o God. I'm going

to go into some statements now. Listen.

I only wrote down one because I did several, and

one of them I ended up shouting and God beat

me up with this one, and I didn't get to

the rest. But I do have them here, and at

some point where we turn back to this, I guess

we'll say it's a part one.

But I want to go to Proverbs.

Chapter fourteen, verse twelve, and the first death we're going

to talk about is a statement, and many of us

have said it and are still saying in it, and

at times I say it, I am not walking over there.

When God has a new approach to how we are walking,

we start fighting the process because we have different path.

But God rerouted us.

In another direction.

How many people know that when you were going in

one direction, God said you ain't going that way. Oh

He even caused the storm to come into in front

of you, and you thought.

You could fight through the storm when you realized that

the storm was.

Bigger than you, that it rerouted your ship to another place.

Proverbs chapter fourteen, verse twelve.

I'm just gonna do this the best way I can.

I'm gonna take my time, and I'm gonna read this

scripture that a lot of us have heard, but we

don't quote might understand what it's really saying. And this

is a scripture that I'm pretty sure all of us

in the room can understand it. Whether we want to

agree with it necessarily or not.

Is not really the issue. And that's in verse twelve.

Oh God help us. There is a way.

Which seemeth right onto a man, But the end thereof

are the ways of death. Let me go to work.

I'm just gonna preach my servant, if that's all right.

I'm gonna preach my funeral.

That's all right. I don't have to preach your.

Funeral, because I know some of you are still hanging

on to dear life. Anyhow, the crowd has showed up,

They've even got the food at the bank.

Hall ready to go.

And you picked out the music because you said this

is a celebration of life, but in reality, it really

is a celebration of death. There is a way that

seems right onto a man. I want you to notice

that statement. The way is right for the man. That

means everything you plan everything you conceptualized is going to

be right for man.

But when it comes to faith, which I know some

of you don't want to live.

When it comes to faith, nothing ever goes right, but

it is considered righteousness in God. Don't sit here and

tell me that everything that God has told you was

always right with you.

When He's said to give this.

Up or sacrifice this, or don't take that promotion or

don't take that career. That it didn't make sense to

the natural, but to God it made all sense.

Because His ways are not our ways.

Jesus, well, I'm sorry I didn't quote that scopcept. Jesus,

I want you to understand this statement. A way is

a fixed position that is rightly planned.

He's not talking about the path.

You take, but also the concept a way of living

that pertains to the righteousness of the flesh.

This way seems right, meaning.

It lights up with it lines up with everything that

is right according to the.

Course of this world, the world meaning yours. I'm not

talking about the land mass. I'm not talking.

About the flowers that you planted last year because Granny

decided that she wanted some bulbs in the front of

her house. No, I'm talking about your world when you

came onto Christ.

For some of you, when you came on to Christ,

your world ended.

I'm not talking about a world that's going to end.

Maybe it's got to end for you. But my world

ended when I confessed with my mouth and believed of

my heart that Jesus is Lord and you shall be saved.

That means that my way no.

Longer existed, that God was crafting something different in my life,

a different course of living. Because Lord knows, when you

tried to live according to the world, you made a

mess of it. And then when you get into your

situation and get into your problem, I mean some of

us still have that problem when we get into that situation,

when we no longer want to be in control of

the situation. Now has taken place to where it is

now bigger than what we had managed it to be.

Now, all of a sudden, we want to come to

God and we want to cry wolf.

And then now God's got to get us out of

some of the messes and some of the decision making

and some of the craftiness of concept of us getting

out of some of the mess that we put in.

Now we want God to help us. Oh God, maybe.

That's why maybe some of you are in some of

these messes. See, I told you, I'm preaching my servant.

This way seems right because everything in the course of

the world lines up with it. This decision lines up right,

because my nature says it's right. But guess what, in faith,

God says No, Lord, Yes, God, I put all these

things together. I am the one that created all of

these opportunities.

I worked hard. I worked hard on my credits.

I got a good salary job, and I even got

the down payment for the house.

And guess what.

Everything looks good according to the bank, everything looks good

according to what the natural standpoint would say. And guess what,

and you get the house outright. Oh, now, I'm gonna

preach your funeral. Let me get to your funeral. But

then the thing that started off right led you into

worshiping the thing that was supposed to be right, to

the point that you forgot about God.

Let's take this to another level. Let's take this to

another level of education. I'm preaching my sermon. I ain't

preaching your sermon.

So guess what, you can just back up the side

I'm talking about my funeral. Honey, I must have forgot

that God is the one that blessed me with the vehicle.

God is the one that gave me favor with the bank,

and God is the one.

That gave me the resources to put a down payment

on the car.

And then all of a sudden, I began to get

off fixated on the car and decide that I'm going

to use the car whatever I wanted to use it for.

But let me tell you something. God had to remind.

Me, said, I did not bless you with that car

so you could just work in it. I didn't bless

you with the car so that you can go and

gallivent everywhere you wanted to go. I blessed you with

the car because I said you needed a vehicle to

be able to spread my gospel and feed the people.

You must have forgotten the favor that I gave you

with the banks.

You must have forgot about the resources that I allowed

to be put into your hands to be able to

use this tool, to be able to execute my purpose.

God ain't gonna give you nothing until you learn.

The understanding the purpose of what God has called you

to has.

Nothing to do with you, but it has to do

with Him. Yes see, you.

Got the house, you got the car, you got the money,

but then you forgot the purpose that God, the command

that God had sent for you to do.

When you get said resource, Oh we're gonna act on them.

Oh I don't remember that God.

So oh we're start gonna crack in the speaker. I

guess I must hear the right place.

Yes, yes, yes, Lord, yes Lord. See we forgot about God.

Yes see, God doesn't matter in the equation. The problem

is we really got a God on board that really

ain't God.

Because I'm gonna tell you something and be real about it.

If God were truly talking to you, he'd be talking

to the death of your flesh. See, God ain't gonna

talk no flesh stuff, and then think that it's okay

for your flesh to keep living. No, God's gonna tell

you to crucify the flesh. He gonna say, Jonathan, your

attitude was a little tight. Yes, today you started going

off on people and acting like your pride was in

the way. And let me tell you something, I'm gonna

have to kill that fleshy. I had to let the

devil come into the camp to show you that you

were a little prideful in all of this that you

must have forgotten that you served God.

But guess what, in the midst of all that.

There's grace that says, I'm gonna bring you back to

the wood said, and I'm gonna correct you go because

guess what everything that is meant for evil, God will

turn it around.

And use it for good. I know what the type

of God that I've said, how about you? Do you

know the God that you served, the way that was right.

According to you, did not lead you to what was righteous.

After everything you did, after all the schooling and the

education that you got.

Out of all the money.

And the investments that you made. What type of righteousness

did it produce on the inside of your experience? But

you say that God is with you. But yet what

I find is what is righteous to man is not

bringing them further righteousness to God because righteousness doesn't come

by obtaining a possession. Watch this, I'm gonna give you

this revelation, but it comes when you become its possession.

What did you say, I'll say it again.

Righteousness doesn't come by obtaining a house. Right, Righteousness doesn't.

Become by you obtaining a car.

Righteousness does not come by your investments No, you become

righteous when righteousness possesses you.

What's it.

When the way that is right takes you over and

your life becomes the right way.

That you walk in. What is right?

I am talking about the right attitude, the right character,

the right righteous ignignation that you don't want to continue

the hurt people, but you want to get hit.

Now, that's righteousness.

That means that through the process of you obtaining something.

When I got that car, that car did not make

me more carnal. What it did was it made me

more respectful to the faith walk that God has got

me on to the point where I want to submit

myself to.

The God that gave it to me. I'm not talking.

About the four will listen if you think it's so

bad and you think it's so cute outside the title

over to you.

I don't care about the car. I don't care about

my education.

I got three degrees sitting in my Stewarde unit and

guess what I like.

I told my sister.

None of it prepared me for me doing what I'm

doing right now.

So if you want the fame and the glory, I

can give it to you.

But let me tell you something that's not what determines

the faith righteousness by the things that you have. It's

about the attitude and the character of you wanting to

serve God with all your heart and mind, soul, inspirits.

It's about you walking in a way that is contrary

sometimes then.

You wanted to go in the direction you want to

go in.

It's about giving yourself up a living sacrifice, holy and

a pleasing which is a reasonable service.

I'm sorry, I don't have my sear.

The way that is right leads you to forgiveness. Yes,

we talk about how so righteous we are. We talk

about that Jesus is a way maker. That's the only

thing we talk about. But while he is the waymaker,

he's dealing with the way that you deal with people.

Oh y'all missing See. It's not about getting the possession.

It's about God's righteousness, possessing a soul that needs redemption

to the way of righteousness. Oh boy, got quiet on

the line. I don't hear nobody. I don't think we're

gonna have a lot of phone calls. The way that

is right leads to death. When we start believing that

the course of this world or the way that is

right leads to death when we start believing that the

course of this world is right, even though the ways

of men are imperfect without His spirit.

That makes them perfect.

See, when you start believing that your course is perfect,

you're not acting in.

A form of righteousness.

You're operating in a form of self righteousness. It says,

But the end thereof are the ways of death. It

is the lifestyle that you live. It is the way

that you occupy your living. You always believe that the

thing you planned and have plotted out of your course

is the right strategy for bringing completion. But out of

all the right decisions, out of all the alignments, out

of all the hard work that you have done, what

has you completed in righteousness?

The Bible says, what.

Prophet a man that he gained the whole entire world,

But your.

Soul is losing out.

What point is it for you to be going after

all the things that are temporary in this world, that

are dead in this world? But your soul is taking

a deficit the very thing that God is trying to

bring in right standing with God.

But we got quite a bit God, I thank you,

thank you Father.

But out of all the decisions, I have a question

to ask you.

Where has it led you? See? Your way led you

to being more bitter.

Oh, we got quiet, didn't it.

It leads you to allowing your flesh to rule. Oh, Jesus, Jesus.

God, y'a'll take a moment for that. I'm sitting here

thinking about it myself. Your way didn't bring you into

any right standing with God. It brought you into right

standing with your flesh, your status, your symbol, what you

see on the outside. But the Bible says it's Jesus

on the inside working on the outside. No, honey, you

can put on all the mask ey you want. You

can put all the lips to go a pig all

you want, But honey, you'll steal a pig off the

inside and on the outside. See what you don't want

is you don't want that word to get a hold

of real soul. It means that it would have to

convict all the areas that aren't right. Oh yeah, see

I'm talking about and I ain't talking about you, those you.

Are preaching on. I'm a peach rone funeral.

Let's go to John chapter fourteen, John chapter fourteen, Thank you. Oh,

I know it's getting high. Maybe you need to go

back on vacation. I haven't even started. But honey, you

know my vacation and turned into ministry. I don't hear

nothing about that. I'm trying to live right There are

areas in my life right now that God ain't pleased with,

and I'm not talking about it. Necessarily me doing things

that necessarily doing things that I shouldn't be doing. But

my nature needs to come in line with this. God

is waiting on me to come. When you start talking

about you want to go to the next level, when

you start talking about you want to go to another assignment,

when you start talking about you don't want to keep

doing the same messa and dealing with the same hat

Oh are you're not dealing with no habits?

I'm sorry for Let me tell you something. The higher

you go, the higher.

Your flesh gets, and the more it wants to hinder

you from getting to the purpose. Because let me tell

you something, if your flesh ain't hindering you, then you

ain't got nothing to worry about. The devil already got you.

But let me tell you something. When you try to

act righteous, when you try to put your flesh under subjection,

when you try to say no we ain't eating the

cake today. When you try to say, no, we ain't

doing ice cream, even though I struggled last night and

I had a piece of chocolate.

Y'all, please forgive me, but there are things going on

in my life.

But that gives me no excuse to be flacked and

to be slopped for about the things of God. It

doesn't give me any excuse to say, I ain't gonna

read the word tonight because I'm.

Dealing with my flesh.

No, I gotta put my flesh on that cross, that cross.

Everybody's got their own cross to bear. And let me

tell you something, cross is getting a little heavy right

now because my flesh don't seem to see where the

way is. When your faith being stretched, sometimes you don't

know when your ending is gonna be and when your

beginning is gonna meet so ending.

But guess what you've got to do. You've gotta trust

in Noah.

That God is God, and he is before you.

He's besides you.

You've gotta be able to trust anyhow and what He's

setting to you in the beginning, when you.

First started this journey.

You got to be able to trust in the world

when it looks like you're about to crumble when people

start walking off and everything's funny when they start.

Leaving you left and right, when.

They start leaving your behind and you're seeing them in

the rear view mirror.

You gotta care with the stuff.

Jesus, Jesus, Yes God, Yes God, I tell you.

We're saying this, Yes Lord, Yes Lord, Yes Lord. It's

like I'm doing aerobics. Oh my father. Heck with the Jim, Jesus,

You've been.

Through enough stuff can be sweating John Chapter fourteen. I'm

just gonna read it at verse one to five to

get some context, but I want to focus on verse six.

Let not your heart be trouble. You believe in God,

believe in me also, or believe also in me.

In my father's house are many dwelling places.

That's what it means in the original, not mansions, dwelling places.

If it were not so, I would have told you

I go to prepare a place for you.

See, I'm sorry Jesus had to go him coming back.

He ain't coming back. He came back already in.

A body called the body of Christ, waiting for the

Body of Christ to rise up and be the be

like Jesus Christ, and stop waiting on some That's sorry,

that's the wrong sermon. I go to prepare a place

for you. And if I go and prepare a place

for you, I will come again and receive you onto myself.

If you see that, Ye.

See, this is continuum. This is not a one time thing.

Jesus is always coming.

Oh Jesus, Oh boy, that's the wrong.

Say let me get the verse four, because I know

some people already mad already And.

Whither I go? Ye know? In the way? Ye know?

He said, you know the way?

Thomas said onto him, Lord, we know not where you go.

How can we know the way? See, you had been

with me all this time. I sat here and ran

my mouth to you about the revelation of who I was.

I even read the.

Word to you, because I was the Word made flesh,

and you were nective. Whip me in the flesh and

in the spirits. And I give you revelation knowledge. And

you're gonna sit here and tell me you don't know

the way in which you're to walk, or lets me

know that your card ol' man has been in the

way all the time that cannot see the ways of

the spiritual.

Yes, God.

Mmmm, Jesus said, unto him, I am the way, the

Truth and the life. No man come unto the Father,

but by me. Why do you think Jesus was able

to say that? Because he had to become these things way,

truth and life. Oh God, quiet, didn't it? Maybe it

seemed like Jesus had to go through a process. Yeah,

the way and the truth.

And the life. He had to become those things. Jesus says, there.

Is a way that seamth right on to man. We're

talking about this now, look at the two differences. Jesus said,

I am the way. Yes, Proverbs fourteen says, or Proverbs fourteen,

let me get the rights, because Proverbs fourteen twelve says

there is a way that semith right on to man.

But Jesus said, I am the way. See, Jesus had

to conform himself to the way that his father conformed

him to be. Oh, y'all not trying to get because

Joe way gonna get a little rough. He might have

to pull up some of your stones that you put

to make away, you know, like Goldielocks in the Three Bears,

when you have to leave a few guns to leave

your little trail, and you give your little trail. Let

me tell you something, tell it you know how some

of you put flat stones down.

And you made your path so beautiful.

Until the storm came and ate and had to rip

up some of the stones.

Yes, Jesus had to become.

The way because the way is what made him the truth.

And guess what when he came into the Truth, that's

when he was able to.

Emanate the life out of his flesh.

Yes, yes, see, you don't just become the way because

you created some type of scenario. But there is a

way that God has already ordained in your life. Because

the Bible says, for your footsteps I ordered by the Lord.

See when they're ordered by your flesh. Of all they're

gonna do is crash and burn. All your flesh is

gonna do is burnout. All your flesh is gonna do

is say I give up already. But guess what, there's

something in your spirit that sits I know whom.

I believe, I know who my trust her.

Even though I've been waiting about five years, I've been

waiting off the Lord to renew my strength. And in

the midst of all that process, and as I've been

going through it, my flesh. I know that my strength

has been renewed by my Father because I've learned to

trust in him. You can't learn to trust in him

if you ain't been pulled in your faith. You ain't

gone through a couple of trials and tribulations and know

that's your faith worketh.

Patience, Jesus, Jesus, Sorry, I'm getting lower out. I know

it's seven fifteen. Thank you. Lords. There's a way that

seemeth rights.

That means that that way was created by man, so

it can be right in his eyesight, but it doesn't

bring him anything in righteousness.

It brings me fruit to your tree. Thank you, Father God.

Why is this right to man?

Because man is the one making the way instead of

becoming it. Know what I said you yourself had become

the way. But the former way that you once lived

is now dead because now we have a different way

that we have to live. See, your way was if

I can get my finances right, I'm gonna take it. Listen,

I told you I'm preaching my own funeral, so you

ain't got to worry about you.

I thought that if I got my credit right. You know,

I was talking to God this morning and I.

Said, Lord, you said I was getting a house. I

was gonna have a place by the end of the year.

So I better start getting my credit in order. Oh,

I better start getting my bank account. And there's nothing

wrong with that. If he told you, that's the way

you're gonna get it right. See, that's the key part.

God is the one leader, not you. Yes, well, I

have put this mathematically together, and I know that if

I moved five hundred dollars into my savings account, and.

If I put a thousand.

Dollars into my rough savings account, I can get higher

interest back on my return.

And you've got it all worked out until he sends.

You a bill that was unexpected and wipes it all out.

Jesus, Jesus, Lord. Oh, y'all gotta love you. You know

you gotta love me, Lord God, because I've been through this.

And you're sitting here crying and oh my poor oh

my credit card. He told me I had to sew

accede and it was my last It was a thousand dollars.

I had saved it. I had saved it for that house,

and I was trying to get prepared, and God said,

give it to the ministry God's trying to set your

priorities in all right, he said, a new seeky first

the kingdom of God. No seek ye first the banker,

No force the mortgage or no seeky first? How much

money you have in your account? No, they don't sound

like faith to me. That sounds like you was trying

to save some pennies for a rainy day. And as

long as I got there, I can believe Jesus. As

long as I see the nail prince in his hands,

I believe Jesus. But what happens when you don't see

the nail prince? What happens when you don't see the

man sitting on the cross? Where is your faith?

Then?

So I don't say that when he gets silent? Oh,

they go crazy. Because I haven't heard God in a

couple of days.

I think he left me. How can something leave you

when it's in you?

Maybe he don't want to talk alli them, Maybe he

don't want to talk through your bible. Let me tell

you something, Let me give you a hint. And I

know some of you get upset.

I haven't read my Bible in three months.

What how dim you ain't no man of God? Because

you ain't rich your Bible. You're supposed to take up

your cross gently. You're supposed to the sword.

Of the spirits.

You got to read your Bible every single day. You know,

you got to quote every scripture. If that's something that

you have to do in the place that you're in

because you need to grow, I'm fine with it.

But let me take you something. I got my word

yesterday when.

I see in that green car get in front of

me with the scripture that said that Jesus loves you

according to John fifteen, verse six. I got my word

yesterday and I was sitting there mid taking. Me and

God were just a talking, and we were sitting there

just a meditating. And I can tell you one thing.

While I was sitting there meditating on that word, don't

you think the devil didn't come in the flesh and say,

how in the world can Jesus love you? And I

had to remind my flesh that if it had it

up being for God, I would not have woke up

this morning another.

Day to take Jesus. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Yes God, we

live a different way, yes Father, And that's why some

of you are struggling. Honey, I know me. I'm struggling

with this whole thing.

Listen, I USh that me and God we're talking, and

I was talking about how I got saved, the day

I got saved, the day I got tongues.

Listen, I can't get tongues when I got saved. Y'all

need to stop pacing, glad, I tell it, hell it, yoh.

I need to stop pedal in that line.

Because when Jesus got baptized and water, he didn't speak

in tongues.

Paul Hooks, Sure didn't. Sure didn't. See, I'll need to

stop lying with that.

My tongues did not come later, until there was some maturity,

until God wanted to manifest that in my life. So

so you mean to tell me if somebody's not speaking

in tongues, they don't have the Holy Spirit.

No, I didn't say that.

Your tongues do not manifest whether you have the Holy Spirit.

I've heard devils speaking tongue, very good, cursed tongues too.

Sometimes they come in religious cursed tongues.

He does not say in the Word that when you

come out of baptism, you will receive tongues.

That's right. No, Honey, I'm gonna tell you something.

The way that you know that you have got the

Holy Ghost is your lifestyle.

The whatever the way that hastened.

I didn't say sometimes you weren't gonna struggle, but the

struggle is the best thing ever, because the struggle is

what gives you discipline.

Yes, last night I had a piece. I had a

kick caat. No, that's not my saying.

I had a kick cat last night along with some

ice cream. And I was going through something. I think

I was doing some emotional leading. Oh shut up. You

know you're sitting there right now, listen to me. Just

stop it. I didn't say there was anything wrong with that,

but God is showing you. He's showing you some things

that are manifesting in the flesh. And there comes a

time in your life that telling it to go away

ain't gonna work, right, telling that And it's always the devil. Oh,

the devil attacked the devil. Know it was the devil

of your flesh because you didn't put it under subjection, right.

So I mean, if you're flushed out put under subjection,

of course he's gonna use that. You haven't even fought

the principality that's connected to the fuck you're too busy

fighting me attitude. You haven't even gotten to the spirit yet.

I'm just like, God, yeah, y'all, just human me. I'm

talking about I'm not talking about I know what I

go through. See, I don't have to be in denial

about it.

That's why I can get up here on this podcast

and have so much material because.

I'm talking about me. I'm not talking about you. Now.

If you want to receive this about you, then amen.

But guess what I'm talking about me? Because I know

I'm a trip. You ain't gotta tell me I'm a trip.

I already know I'm a trip. You say one thing

and the next minute you do another. Well, two of

a two thirds of a feather flock together. I guess

you're in the same boat.

Yes we are. I mean, whatever I judge about you,

I'm judging about me. Amen. Amen. Amen. We walk according to.

A different way in which we are to live and

see that way. Watch this has a way maker.

Mm hm.

So if we are assigned to a waymaker, why are

we still trying to.

Make the way? Okay, very good? Interesting huh.

If I'm assigned to a foreman, yes, why am I

trying to create the path when the foreman knows the

plan as to how these stones are to be laid?

Yes? Lord, Yes Lord? Why are my fight the foreman?

Because your former way of living has not died yet?

Mm hmm okay. Ephesians chapter two. We'll just go there.

Ephesians chapter two, Verse one.

This goes for me too. That's what did not preaching

my own thing. Visions chapter two.

Verse one.

Let me help you out, and you happy quickened? He

hath made you alive. That's what quickened means who were

dead in trespasses and sins.

You don't remember how you came to grass. You don't

remember how you came to Christ. You were dead. You

were dead spiritually.

Where in time past he walked according to the course

of this world, At some point in two time beforehand,

you walked according to the course to the way, to

the plan of this world. I'm not only talking about

the world that we live in, but I'm talking about

your world.

You had your own walk, you had your own.

Beads, You had your own style, you had your own swag,

You had your own you had your own things, even

a certain way you put your wig on, even the

way you put your You had your shoes, your boots,

the way that you see.

You had your own style. Oh come, yes, come on,

you know you did.

Since you were dead in trespasses and sins. What were

the trespasses transgression? What were we transgressing? I'll tell you.

It means that before experiencing a spiritual rebirth, we were

blind and unresponsive to the things of God, and some

of us still are because our flesh is ruling the

way and God is trying to get it out of

the way. That's why he moved you out of the

way that you created.

And put you on up. I don't like that. I

know you don't like it. I know it because I'm here.

You were blind and unresponsive to the things of God.

You were in your own world. Some of you still are.

God is speaking to you, you know, God is talking.

He said, no, I didn't tell you to do that.

But yet you in your strong arm in the way

that you created, because you spent too much money on

those stone bricks that you started making your own bricks

and on your own path, and you said, God, I

ain't picking up these bricks that I just paid for.

I'm not about to tear down the program that I

have created.

I'm not going to tear down the education. And I

spent hundreds of.

Dollars on for you to tell me to go in this.

I'm not about to do that. I'm not about to

give up my credit cards. So what's the name of

that ministry you told me to give?

How much money? That misery? I'm not about to give

any money to this ministry.

I just got my credits straightened out to if my

credit score is seven hundred to But guess what's up.

You don't know the righteousness of your king. You don't

even know the path in which God is taking you in.

You don't even know the full purpose of what God

has ordained. You asked somebody, what's God doing? You said,

I don't know, And then all of a sudden you

sit there and are paralyzed because you don't know the

way and which sure to walk up because you're too

busy worried about the ling is fashion.

You're too busy worried.

About when I'm gonna get my next to pay you,

when I'm gonna get my next work out at the Gila,

When am I gonna get All those things are according

to the course of this world. But yet when you

ask them about Jesus, they can't tell you that the

difference between lipsticks or pig and the pig with the lipsticks.

Mm hmm, Father, it means that before experiencing spirits of birth,

we were blinded by the things of the flesh.

Yes, yes, unresponsive to things of God, functioning solely.

Under the control of our sinful nature. Yes, oh yes,

yes on some truth.

Maybe that's why you're unsensitive to what God is really

saying to you. Isn't it amazing that when God speaks,

your flesh is still the same way.

That habits still ain't moved. Nowhere I'm talking about me, Jesus, Jesus.

Even though I made the commitment that I said that

I'm gonna get some things older in my health, I

find myself going back to grab that donut.

Now. I didn't say there's nothing wrong with the donut.

But when you start eating boxes.

Of donuts, I ain't gotten to that. Let me get gone,

I will say, But God help me.

Mm.

When you start drinking ten glasses of wine, anything that

you're over indulging your time with is a god, he

is sin.

Or you think the word don't say it. Tell the

truth over.

Indulging in something means that you've given place to it,

and it has become a God. But yet that God

that you give all your time to ain't giving you

no place of righteousness and ain't bringing you any more

right standing with your purpose in God.

I'm talking you.

Here, Yes, Lord, Yes, Lord God, Yes you are, he

says verse two.

Yes you are on target.

Wherein in times past you walk according to the course

of this world, according to the Prince of the power

of the air, the spirit that now works in children

of disobedience.

Now listen. It ain't the sinful folk that are disobedient.

It is Christians that are ahead. Not say it. Say it.

You know how said yep, you walk according to the

course of this world. It means the age, the time,

the worldly period. You walked in the full alignment with

the things of this world. Mm hmm, thinking only on completing. Yes,

the things pertaining to.

Your self fulfillment. You were done right, selfish, Yes, ye see, when.

You're self fulfilling, you're a self God. And the devil

talked to you and said, don't worry about them, worry

about yourself.

Well, you think he ain't talked to you, I am

talking to me.

Until we became high minded in ourself.

Oh I'm sorry.

I mean for some of us we can deliver, but

see some of us still on that level.

So God say, you know what, I'm gonna bring you

in a place where.

I'm gonna make you a little humble. I'm gonna bring

you in a place where I can bring you down

from your heartiness and I can reveal to you.

The humilities of my spirits.

And that's why when it came time for the death process,

you had to come to a place that was humble.

You had to lay before God. You had to come

in a prostrated prost. You had to lift your hands

and surrender that said that I no longer can do this.

And guess what, some of you are still living experiences

like this where God has to bringing a problem that's

bigger than you in order for him to show you

that he is God. You walked in the full alignment

with the things of this world.

In a whole different time frame.

That's why when you talk to people that are sinners,

they're in a whole different place than where you are.

They're so focused on catching up with the joneses, I'm

missing the action that's going.

On with everything.

I'm sorry, but God, you're taking a little too long.

I need to hurry up and get this thing done.

Hold on, God don't want you to hurry up with nothing.

He wants you to catch up with him. He wants

you to get in his glory. He wants you to

get in his time frame, the place in which you

should be living in, because only the things of the

time of the flesh is when things slow down. When

you get into eternity, that's when things speed up.

Jesus, glory, How I do y'a?

Thank you Father God. I'm talking to this because I'm

living this.

Jesus, did it seem like when you tried to do

things by.

The flesh and flesh time it took forever, But the.

Minute that you began to do it in God's time,

he opened that door just like that. And when he

opened that door, it was no door that man could shut,

no door that man could open, no man that could

say that it was for me that did it for you.

It was only God that could do it for you.

And it enhanced your faith and made you go to

another level where you said, I worship God in spirited,

in truth up.

But he shows up and he don't show up. I'm

still gonna worship my God because I know what he

brought me food.

Jesus, Jesus, Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

But you found when you did that, you felt no fulfillment,

empty on the inside. When you drank enough forty ounce

of liquor, when you smoke two packages of cigarettes today,

oh I know I'm part of the side. When you

had enough sex to laugh for lot, Oh my God,

I got to stop. I wanted somebody bed. But you

still found no fulfillment. You felt empty on the inside.

Something was missing.

I know it was he.

Before I got saved, I felt empty, I felt meaningless.

I was doing things even though I was twelve years old.

I still felt empty. I felt lost.

But when Jesus came on the inside, I felt like

there was a purpose. It felt like everything in the

natural made sin because I had somebody up off the fire.

Something must be happening. It made sense. Yes, Father God, Yes, yes, yes,

because what had been aligned in the flesh had now had.

Any eternal purpose in the spirit. See without the spirit

your flesh ain't eternal. Mm hmmmm. The Bible says that

coming by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

But your faith life don't become eternal until it masters

over the elements of that tangible right. But when Jesus

came on the inside and you changed your course, you

felt filled. You sat there weeked all night. Oh, come

on you spirit. You didn't feel the joy unspeakable.

You didn't feel that. By God, what is this experience

that I'm feeling.

I feel like I can lift about five thousand tons

a bag of rice.

You're very good.

In your spirits up and all of a sudden that

you'd have felt like I wanted to share this, Yes.

Yes, yes, Lord God sure did.

It didn't matter whether you are black or white, reach

her poor, homeless, or had no home. All I wanted

to do was so well of the fire. I wanted

to find out about him. I want to find out

about this Jesus. I want to read the word that

he said, to read the word. I better find out

about him. Getting the menu and find.

Out what this new living life is.

Because if it had enough to clean me up from alcohol,

if it had enough to get me off of cracked

cocaine and out my heroine and getting it off of her.

Living a lascivious life. I got to find out who

this man is. Awesome, these awesome you walked according to

the Prince of the power of the air? What air?

It was?

The air you breathe, the life of the birth.

That was pure carnality.

But you didn't realize it was killing you. We served

the prince of this world. We served a knockoff king

who was only given temporal limited authority. He was a

pauper in a princess palace, not realizing we were We

weren't serving a king but a pass off king. He's

the prince of this world. But let me tell you something.

The king gives impartial authority. Or what are you trying

to say? Oh, the devil doesn't have all the powers,

you know what I'm Jesus has all the power.

Hey, he's got the cards. Some of you watch House

of Cards.

He's got the cards to the house, and he's got

the cards to the house and the house to the cards,

and he knows every move that you're gonna make. And

that's why he said to job when Jobo and when

te when God inquired up the devil, He said, have

you considered my servant job? That is perfect and upright?

He said, you can sick yourself on job, but you

cannot take his life. God uses the devil as an

instrument because he knows.

That if he can get you entrapped himself, he.

Knows that by the time his experience is over, you're

gonna learn about yourself, and you're gonna realize that you

are no greater than the God of the King of

kings and Lord of thoughts. That's why you have to

surrender yourself to God and realize that you are powerless

without her.

Oh yeah, that's the truth. That is the truth.

Yes, God, ollilujah, Thank you Father. We were with a pauper,

Thank you Lord God. He passed as a king. He

even tried to put the king's crown on, Yes he did.

But see we weren't walking in authority over those things that.

It blinded us. It took a king to do that.

A king that sees the fullness of who you are,

not temporary. See, the flesh can only get you temporarily deliberate.

The flesh only sees part of the equation. No, God

didn't as sign no aspirin to.

Your cases, and he can give you advil for that.

Heaven he sat on my heeler. Yes he yes, yes

he is, Yes, he is.

She the ductor lied to you and told you that

she'll be on pain medicine for the rest of you.

See the devil. Lets you tell you that, Well, what

did your God tell you?

He said, I'm gonna heal, I'm gonna break, I'm gonna chain,

I'm going to deliver you off of have totally so

that you can be a full testimony to the holes

that need to know that you serve a complete God.

Not I have deranged father.

That says that I'm only gonna heal half of you. No,

he needn't say that. He said, I'm gonna heal you

inside out. I'm gonna heal the emotional aspects of everything

that you're dealing with, all of the perfections, and I'm

gonna make you perfect according to my spirits.

Jesus, Yes, God.

He says, a spirit that now works in the children

of disobedience.

What kind of disobedience the.

Ones that go off course and do their own thing

and never come to the way of taking them over.

Because when you become the way, you will help lead

them to the way maker. Yes, disobedience leads those towards

disobeying orders, yep.

And that means if you.

Are a disobeyor, you're gonna make sure that everybody else

is out of order. And that is why the way

of a man leads to neth.

Because when you are the way, your.

Way leads to the other towards leading to the way.

It means that if you have now become the way,

you're gonna lead others to that righteous way. Right, let

me go to Second Corinthians chapter fifteen seven, and then

I'm through Second Corinthians chapter fifteen. Well, let me see,

I might be in the wrong place. Second Corinthians five.

I'm sorry. Let me get my bible up. This is

acting funny.

Second Chrystians, chapter five, trying to get to it.

Verse sixteen, let me help all the Jesus coming back folk.

Since henceforth, wherefore henceforth we know no man after the flesh. Yay,

though we had known Christ after the flesh, we knew

him mm hmm. Yet now henceforth and now on know

we him no more. See all the Jesus coming back people.

He's coming back in the flesh. No he's not.

Mm hmm.

We no longer know Christ after the flesh. We know

him by the spirits. Why do you think you've got

the Holy Spirit. Well, he's a comforter. No, he didn't say.

He said, the comforter will be with you forever. He's

not going anywhere. He is nothing. The spirit of the

Holy Ghost is Jesus, and he's not going. He said

he will live in you and twelve with you forever.

Forever does not.

Mean that, Wait a minute, No, he's coming back. No,

he said forever.

He said.

Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a

new creation.

M m.

It means you've.

Been reborn by the spirits. All things are passed away,

your own way of living, your own way, your own truth,

your own life has passed, and you come into the way,

truth and life.

Behold, all things are become new.

They become reborn into a new identity.

Of His spirits.

Spotify, Heart Radio. It has been a pleasure. I bet

you some of you wish I was on vacation. I

told you I speak with my God tells me to speak.

Some of you need to look at the way you're walking.

Some of you are not going the right way. And

you are a believer, but you allowed your flesh to

have rulership in the decision process of your life. God

had told me the other day, he said, you're sitting

here whining about a place to live. I already gave

you a place to rest. I already gave you a

place to rest your flesh. And he said, anywhere that

I send you, I will make sure that you've got

a place to live.

See, Jesus didn't have a way to lay his head.

He laid his head wherever his way led him to

lay his head. Right.

See, some of you are worried about where you're gonna live,

what you're gonna eat, what you're gonna have, he said,

Fuck have holes, birds have nests. But Jesus has nowhere

to lay and rest.

Some of you are worried about the natural things.

And God has not wanted you to focus on the

natural things. He wants you to focus on the spiritual things. Because,

as I said in Matthew six thirty three, if you

seek you first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness,

his right standing, his right will, all these other things

will be added to the will that He's ordained for

your life. You won't have to worry about a house,

you won't have to worry about a car, you will.

Not have to work.

See listen, I'm not about all those things anyhow.

Right now my life.

Is a living tabernac or a living testimony of his faith.

I want to thank you for listening. This is a

free broadcast. I'm not looking for your money. I don't

need it. Because I pay for the broadcast. You can

keep your money. I'm not a money preacher. If I

want money, I'll get a job. I got two of them, amen.

I am not looking for money. I never ask about money.

As a matter of fact, you look at my podcast,

I don't be looking for none. Why would I charge

you something when you're already going through the charging process?

Or what about your tithe? Well, that's between you and God.

I have nothing to do with it. You think tithing

is just about money. Tithing is about your time, your resource, whatever,

your time, your your prayer life, spending time with God,

worshiping God. I don't care what you do whatever, But

the biggest point of tithing is to prove Him through faith.

And see if God ain't wanting you to prove him.

There he may want to prove you in your work

life or prove you in your worship.

See, you ain't never heard nothing like that.

The first thing you gotta do is go to look filthy, lucre, Amen,

I'm not looking for that. But what I am looking

for you to is to examine your life, examine the

way that you're going, and to make sure that God

is in right standing or you are in right standing

with God.

That's what this is all about.

I encourage you to listen to all the podcast platforms

that we are.

We are on Facebook, YouTube.

And twenty seven other platforms, Heart Radio, and Spotify.

I want you to take the time to spend with God,

to talk with him.

God is very simplistic. He is not detailed as the

church makes it. You know, one thing about the church

is you're either not doing it enough or you haven't

arrived at the place of where you need to be.

So it's always some type of requirement with Him. But

I thank God, I've been saved and delivered. I thank God,

and I'm free from the church because he says I

already am, so I don't have to run to a building.

He said, I made a building that is.

Made with no hand. That's right. God, I'm thankful.

But when I am trying to say, you don't have

to go to a church building, I didn't say that.

If God said you got to go to one, find

But honey, I found my building in his spirit. I

found his building that he can He can build up

a tamer knack on it don't have to be laid

with prayer. Hallelujah, Jesus, Thank you Lord.

So until I hear from you again, which I don't

know when it will be, I pray that you have

a blessed the rest of your week. I pray that

you will go out and take some time for yourself

and hear the Lord, and maybe fast and pray and

God bless
