  4. Glad about it. We are still on our ain't a vacation.

  5. We're just doing ministry. We got some things planned for

  6. this weekend, and I know some people are gonna be blessed. Yes,

  7. I've reached ministry right at home. I believe we can

  8. bring them to the backshin. That's why we got a

  9. house ministry. We can bring them in the shed.

  10. Yes, we can get them saved. And I'm not talking

  11. about what's your door.

  12. I'm talking about saved and set apart because something.

  13. You don't realize what that is.

  14. Jesus. I want to welcome you this evening, Friday evening. Yes, well,

  15. I thought you have service on Sunday. I have it

  16. when God says it, that's right. Yeah, we have our schedule.

  17. I told you after October nineteenth, we'll go back to

  18. our regular schedule program, whether we be here or tim

  19. Buck two. We know that October nineteenth.

  20. If God should say something else, because he's in charge here,

  21. I'm not in charge.

  22. I know people get mad.

  23. Well, I wish you had a consistent I do have

  24. a consistent.

  25. Schedule with his spirit. Yep, yes, that's it. If you'd

  26. like to get in contact with me, my name is

  27. Jonathan Hardwick. Telephone number eight six zero five zero zero

  28. eight three seven. You can email us at Eternal Fire

  29. Ministries at gmail dot com. Since I've done the broadcast,

  30. I have not gotten either, except for one comment on YouTube.

  31. I encourage you to go on YouTube comment. I encourage

  32. you to go on Facebook comment. Thank you, Jesus. I

  33. mean I'll take criticisms too.

  34. I can be critical. I can take correction. Maybe I

  35. shouldn't have talked about your mother, or maybe I should have.

  36. You guys can sit. We're on our little podcast studio.

  37. We made some things possible. This is a free ministry.

  38. What do you mean by free? I don't pay anything

  39. for it. No, Jesus, this is not a church. This

  40. is a ministry. We already are the church. I'll say

  41. it again so I know the people in the back

  42. didn't hear me. We already are the church. I'm not

  43. looking for a building. I already am. I know that's

  44. hard for them to believe. Yes, I'm gonna say this

  45. very gracefully because I know we have people listening internationally

  46. and locally and in the United States. We know that

  47. there are a lot of current events that are happening.

  48. But I want you to be very focused, not on

  49. the people, but on the spirits that are behind the people.

  50. I'm not gonna say any names because I know.

  51. People are listening, but you know what I'm talking about now.

  52. The world can be silenced, but God is not going

  53. to be silent. I said, God's not going to be silent.

  54. As a matter of fact, God was speaking to me yesterday.

  55. He said, they may be able to silence them in

  56. the world, but my miracles and healings will not be silent.

  57. Until I said until or I'll put it.

  58. In this context. Miracles and healings are going to happen

  59. within his remnant. But God still desires a people who

  60. will repent.

  61. I heard a lot of gibberish, but I heard no repentance.

  62. J O.

  63. Body is accountable for the things they say. Yes, people

  64. got silenced, broadcasts got taken away, but I tell you

  65. something that will never get taken away, and that is

  66. the bloodstained banner of Jesus Christ.

  67. You can burn all the Bibles. I don't care if

  68. they do that. The word of.

  69. God is on the inside of you, and it manifests

  70. through you. I'm gonna tell you some things that are

  71. going to happen when we come back.

  72. But see, I'm not afraid of anything. I fear the Lord.

  73. Because the Bible says, as long as I am with

  74. the Lord, yes God.

  75. If my footsteps are.

  76. With the Lord, yes God, Yes fine. Didn't the Bible

  77. say you give you perfect peace when your mind is

  78. stayed upon him. I'm not worried about what Donald Trump does.

  79. I'm not worried about what the politics do Jesus. Jesus

  80. did not come here to preach politics.

  81. Read it in the Bible.

  82. There is nowhere in the Bible where Jesus preached about politics.

  83. As a matter of fact, he made it perfectly clear,

  84. render onto Caesar what is Caesar's and you render onto

  85. God what is God. You can't even tell the difference

  86. between the two because you mingled each other together. There

  87. is no place in scripts here where Jesus had an

  88. office in the government. Nowhere. Oh, I know you're mad

  89. with me. Well, the Lord's presence is all over the

  90. capital of the United States Congress, and the Lord's the

  91. Lord's presence ain't up in there. If the Lord's presence

  92. was truly in the White House, I'm gonna help you something.

  93. If it truly was there, there would.

  94. Be accountability, there would be moralism, but there would be

  95. most importantly conviction and repentance.

  96. Right, what we're learning is is.

  97. That the church is just as bad that's the government,

  98. because you're doing two systems of mind control. You don't

  99. want this, see I am talking about this, But some

  100. of you have gotten caught up in the hype and

  101. have missed the foundation.

  102. Of why we are here. To go all ye into

  103. the world.

  104. Matthew nineteen twenty nine, nineteen, go all ye into the world,

  105. baptizing them in the name of the Father and the

  106. Son and the Holy Go you had forgot him what

  107. our assignment is. I'm not getting caught up in democrat

  108. or Republicans, because when you start taking on a sigh,

  109. you have to uphold that side. That's right.

  110. When Jesus came, he brought.

  111. More questions because he would answer a question in a question.

  112. Jesus said, not come in the.

  113. Preper Now I know how they are, Well, we have

  114. to make a Jesus culture. Well that Jesus culture was

  115. his kingdom right, and he said it was not of

  116. this world. Oh, I know y'all don't like the truth.

  117. He said, his kingdom Come, Thy will be done on

  118. earth as it is in heaven. But that will has

  119. to start with you submitting yourself a living sacrifice, holy

  120. and pleasing on to him, which is a reasonable service.

  121. Jesus is not a politician.

  122. He's spirit. He said that God is a spirit, and

  123. those that worship God worship him. In Christian nationalism, no,

  124. it said, worship him in spirit. But spirit has a nature. Jesus, yes, sir,

  125. Spirit has a nature.

  126. I don't care what you hear, what people say, Hm.

  127. We are fighting a spiritual battle before we wrestle, not

  128. against flesh and blood.

  129. We are not wrestling against culture.

  130. We are not wrestling against black and white. Now, the

  131. devil comes only to steal, kill and destroy.

  132. But Jesus said, I come that you might have life,

  133. and have it more abundantly.

  134. He also said in his word that a kingdom is

  135. divided against itself, and the enemy is trying to divide

  136. this country. The enemy is trying to divide the people

  137. of God to choose sides. But the Bible says, choose

  138. you this day who you will serve. I'm not choosing

  139. to serve an institution. I'm not choosing to serve man.

  140. I'm not choosing to serve a culture. Well you're African American.

  141. No, I'm a spirit.

  142. God said he knows no Jew, no gentile, no bond

  143. or free, but his Christ in awe and through all.

  144. Honey, let me tell you something.

  145. Jesus is the color spectrum and his spirit first before

  146. he puts a little color on it. We need to

  147. stop looking at the face of what's going on and

  148. start getting on our hands.

  149. And knees and start praying for this nation.

  150. Where God says we are to pray for those we're

  151. gonna have rulership.

  152. I don't care if he's a devil from hell.

  153. You got to pray that devil out because we're dealing

  154. with spiritual.

  155. Praise at work.

  156. Right.

  157. That's right, and that's.

  158. All I'm gonna say on that matter. But when we

  159. get back, we're going, honey, I'm not scared about it.

  160. Jesu and God wants to use an instrument he trumps,

  161. Oh did you get it? He trumps in something else.

  162. The church has an opportunity to repent. Every time that

  163. the people of God Israel had an opportunity to repent

  164. before the Lord before he sent in an adversary to

  165. remind them of the God that they served the Kalidian

  166. the time of Jeremiah. He said, I would send in

  167. Nevy Connis.

  168. Tools.

  169. Amen, like my sister said, they're tools to bring correction.

  170. Don't get caught up with the faces. Don't get caught

  171. up in death. We said before this, in the beginning

  172. of the year, God said there was a spirit of

  173. death that was gonna hang over this nation. And I

  174. hate to tell you it's gonna get worse. Because when

  175. God wants to faith, bring his peace, go back to

  176. their knees, he will use tools to force you on

  177. your knees.

  178. He will bring.

  179. God will bring, Yes, he will. He will to make

  180. you get back before your face. See, people think God

  181. is so casual. You think God is casually religious. It

  182. is very simple. When something is out of line, when

  183. something is out of balance in his spirit, He's got

  184. to bring correction to bring it back in line. M hm.

  185. But I didn't come here to talk about that necessarily.

  186. Tonight.

  187. I came to talk about something else. If I can

  188. grab my glasses, maybe I'll be able to see.

  189. Tonight, I'm gonna do.

  190. The ac is on. Yes, it's hot in here. Oh

  191. we're doing some snap crackle and hop well you you're

  192. mad because I talking about your mother. It is what

  193. it is. I will say this, though, you will not

  194. find this voice in the church, as I said, unless

  195. God sends me there. We're staying in this little room

  196. because little as much with God, you wanna build these big,

  197. mega churches and have the people pay for the overhead.

  198. And the Lord told me to start a cafe. And

  199. the Lord told me to start our makeature. And the

  200. Lord told me, but you know it's funny. Jesus didn't

  201. have any of that. He had twelve dis cycles. He

  202. spoke in the desert. Yes, oh that's too uncomfortable for you. Yeah,

  203. he hung out with the prostitutes. He didn't become like him,

  204. I know, like some of you. He hung out with them,

  205. He ministered to them. He fed the people fish all

  206. honey after he came from fishing. But it's not glamorous

  207. work for you. You want a.

  208. Big steeple, big cross, big old choir.

  209. And I said this before. When you're doing, Minister, you

  210. don't need all that, you really don't.

  211. I don't know what God lied to you.

  212. All I need is my two feet and we walked,

  213. he said, because the harvest is plentiful, the laborers are few. Tonight,

  214. I'm gonna talk about something that we all deal with.

  215. I'm gonna talk about your faith.

  216. The title of the message is your faith fell short?

  217. And I'm gonna talk about the process of believing through

  218. our situation. How many of us, when it's time to

  219. execute our faith to go to the next love when God,

  220. we fall short. I'm gonna give several examples of that,

  221. and why it's very difficult for some to walk the

  222. full measure of faith. What is the solution.

  223. That prevents us from falling short in our faith? I

  224. want us to go to Romans chapter twelve.

  225. Romans Chapter twelve, Verse one. I'm gonna read from the

  226. King James version, New King James version. Oh it won't

  227. let me oh old on, I guess it won't let

  228. me read from there. I put my stuff on airplane

  229. mode because we have too many distractions. People wanna call me.

  230. Say that.

  231. I need you to run to the grocery store. I

  232. need this from you. I need that from you. Can

  233. you pick up some Uncle Ben's rice? Now you know

  234. they removed Uncle Ben from the box? Oh yeah, and Hhamima,

  235. I guess she ain't shammah. Yeah. See, I can be

  236. myself here. You're gonna get just what you get. Listen.

  237. If you think you're coming from religion here, uh, you're

  238. in the wrong place. I don't do daily wearing here.

  239. I don't do tearrying services here. Once she gets saved

  240. or saved and the Holy ghost will follow. Yeah, we're

  241. not waiting for him to come. He already came. There

  242. we go. Why don't you see all the bad stuff happening? Well,

  243. why does God have to be acquitted with everything that's bad?

  244. Man does that to himself? God doesn't have to do anything.

  245. Oh I better. I better go on cause I know

  246. there are two Pharisees. Listen, I'm gonna do a lot

  247. of teaching, So relax, cause I can get pretty brutal.

  248. But see, I'm preaching to myself. It starts with me first.

  249. And as I was studying this, I said, my God,

  250. I need this because some of the things I've gone

  251. through for the past couple of weeks. It's almost I

  252. wanted to take a knife and kill myself. Oh no, no,

  253. none of you.

  254. Have ever had gotten that place when your flesh had enough.

  255. You've had enough for your flesh complaining looking at the circumstances,

  256. saying when this is this ever gonna change?

  257. See I had that conversation with him last night.

  258. See, I'm gonna be real with my father.

  259. See, you can't be real with yours because you're with

  260. a f fake partner. I'm sorry. I don't let me. God,

  261. I better stop this. That's why we have so many followers.

  262. Like I said, I ain't looking for none, I'm looking

  263. for listeners. Romans, Chapter twelve, Verse one. I beseech you therefore, brethren.

  264. Now y'all know I got all these notes. You mind

  265. if I flow in the holy dose?

  266. Please please do some.

  267. See they gave me permission, so I don't need your permission.

  268. I was gonna do it anyway, whether they told me

  269. or not.

  270. What kind of.

  271. Preacher are you? One that you need to listen to,

  272. one that's not dainty by religion, not in the system.

  273. I beseech you there for, brethren, by the mercies of God,

  274. that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy I

  275. know that's foreign in this age.

  276. Holy acceptable onto God.

  277. Which is your not God's your reasonable service Verse two.

  278. And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed

  279. by the renewing of your mind daily, which I know

  280. some of you in this room don't do. Uh hole me.

  281. You're behind the shade. I I had graces behind here.

  282. I know some of you on podcasts don't know what

  283. renewing your mind is.

  284. Mmm. We'll talk about that because that has to do

  285. with your faith that ye may prove. Oh there's that word.

  286. What is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

  287. I'm trying to be the safe because you know people

  288. they like to sleep. M I'm being quiet as I can.

  289. MM.

  290. But uh, I'm gonna try, gonna try this place out.

  291. I know we cracked the walls. Listen. If you're looking

  292. for marble floors and.

  293. You hear it, we ain't got it.

  294. We ain't got no marble floors. I ain't looking for

  295. none of that. Jesus God is looking for people who

  296. are righteous and holy. That's why he said when I

  297. raised up this ministry, it's something that's gonna preserve. It's

  298. gonna be something separate. It's gonna be something priceless, because

  299. while everybody is casually looking for the big thing, I'm

  300. looking for the small thing in the big thing. See

  301. you think you need something big, honey, let me tell

  302. you something broad as the path that leads you to destruction.

  303. And many's gonna find it. But he said, narrow and

  304. straight is the way.

  305. Yes.

  306. And I know some of you are struggling.

  307. Right now in your faith. You're struggling with what direction

  308. should I go in. I know that they cut me

  309. from my job. I know that my job is being let.

  310. Go of, and I know that sometimes it seems a

  311. little bit foggy, and I don't know what place I'm

  312. going to go to. But I tell you one thing.

  313. You are not alone.

  314. You have three people in this.

  315. Room that are traveling around the sand that you're going

  316. through right now. And if you don't believe that God

  317. can do exceeding abund above all that you can ask,

  318. or think you're in the wrong place. God sets us

  319. up in our faith walk. You will never know how

  320. good God is if you don't go through some things

  321. that are hard. God. I had people, if they were

  322. in the ministry, said they will be with me and

  323. support me. Until the faith walk came. Well, when are

  324. you gonna get all the benefits? I've already got them. Listen,

  325. you could have negative five hundred in your account and

  326. still be blessed. Y's right. You could be living in

  327. a crack pot hotel and you call it a place,

  328. but you're still blessed. Yes, you know why you're blessed.

  329. When you woke up in the morning, you could see

  330. the sun coming. When you woke up in the morning,

  331. you could hear the sound of the birds. Widow, I

  332. was able to stand the soundation of the Lord this

  333. morning with feet.

  334. I was able to breathe the breath of life. Oh,

  335. y'all don't want.

  336. I give you praise Lord, Thank you, hallelujah.

  337. Verse three, For I say, through the grace given on

  338. to me, to every man that is among you, not

  339. to think himself more highly than he ought to think,

  340. but to think soberly according to God. Half dealt to

  341. every man the measure of faith. Now we're gonna go

  342. to work.

  343. First. One.

  344. I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,

  345. that ye present.

  346. Mm hmmm.

  347. What exactly are we presenting to God? Present? Means to

  348. exhibit to stand beside, that is, to be at hand

  349. ready to assist. What says, here we go.

  350. When you present your body, you are giving it up.

  351. Oh I know.

  352. I'm some of you can't even give up your TV.

  353. You're gonna give up?

  354. Oh I know.

  355. I'm talking to some people. You can't even give up

  356. that piece of cake.

  357. I'm gonna get behind that role speak mm hmm. He said,

  358. you're presenting your body, You're giving it up. You're making

  359. it available as an instrument of faith. What that's what

  360. I'm offering up? Yes, it said, a living sacrifice. You're

  361. alive in your faith. I know some of you are

  362. giving up dead sacrifices and passing it off as faith.

  363. Oh lord, I don't know where I'm going there. Well,

  364. you know what, let me make sure I got about

  365. five hundred dollars in my account and God, I know,

  366. God said to sell my house and a little make

  367. sure I got a little money here. Five I got

  368. to put that in an emergency account. All right, going,

  369. I'll sell my house. I gotta make sure how much

  370. money I have. I think I've been spent sith. I

  371. think I can get a hotel for a couple of days. Oh,

  372. I know how you think. But he said to offer

  373. up your body a living sacrifice.

  374. Faith is an.

  375. Attribute, an action of operated in the realm of expectation,

  376. activating the realm of what's hope for and bringing it

  377. into the presence.

  378. You present a living sacrifice.

  379. Oh, here we go, we're about to go to work, honting.

  380. When living means lively, sacrifice means slay. When your life

  381. has become an instrument of faith that presents itself as

  382. a form of sacrifice. Well, I thought I was giving

  383. my sacrifice of worship. That's not what he asks from here.

  384. He said, I want your body. I want the very

  385. thing that's going to hinder you from faith. I want

  386. I want your whole.

  387. Body, your mind, your spirit, I want all of it. Yes, well,

  388. how why do that?

  389. When you surrender your will and accept Oh, we're still

  390. pipping when we accept his will over our own. I

  391. know somebody, you don't want to do that because faith

  392. is gonna make you do some crazy things. Faith is

  393. not pretty. No, that's where the sacrifice of your body

  394. comes from.

  395. That says God.

  396. You can do whatever you want to do with my

  397. body because your body is mine. You don't listen your

  398. body don't belong to you, It belongs to him. And

  399. when you signed up, wait a minute, I thought I

  400. signed somewhere.

  401. I know we can say.

  402. You know, I was in this peril and I just

  403. wanted to get out and I just shined the document.

  404. But you didn't look at the fine print. Like I

  405. said before, that said that anytime I want to use

  406. your body to.

  407. Manifest my faith walk you not giving up.

  408. And that's why people are struggling now, going around in

  409. the wilderness acting like they've got something going on.

  410. But yet God said, wait.

  411. A minute, I need your body to be used to

  412. manifest my glory.

  413. But guess what, we want to.

  414. Keep circling around the wilderness, circling around the wilderness of

  415. our job, circling around the wilderness of our family members,

  416. of circling around the wilderness. So or if I could

  417. just get that next delivery, if I can just get

  418. that next.

  419. Time, Jesus. But God has told.

  420. You several times, I hope somebody's said He's told you

  421. several times that you were called, that you were chosen,

  422. that you had a ministry. But yet you keep wandering

  423. around in the wilderness because a demi God donell spoke

  424. to you and said, I don't feel like giving up

  425. my body.

  426. I don't feel like giving up my stuff.

  427. But your body don't belong to you.

  428. Faith is about living.

  429. You don't become a living sacrifice until you walk by

  430. faith and not by sight. See, he has to take

  431. your body because I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen.

  432. Your body is gonna hinder your faith. Well, so what

  433. are you saying, he's gonna snatch up my flesh.

  434. No, your body is connected to your thinking. That's what

  435. you need to offer him to God.

  436. He's talking about the body of your mind, your thoughts,

  437. your will, your emotions. This is why watch this perfect

  438. example Abraham and Isaac. Uh, oh, woman getting somebody walking

  439. around the building. I'm walking around because I'm gonna get somebody.

  440. Abraham and Isaac.

  441. God said to Abraham, sacrifice. Isaac put him on the altar,

  442. give up your living example. See this is what it

  443. was really about. See it wasn't about his son. And

  444. see Abraham walked in a place of faith.

  445. I know somebody gonna catch it in a minute.

  446. But it's because he said to offer up your body.

  447. See he offered up Isaac because Isaac was a part

  448. of his body.

  449. And guess what after he offered him up. Guess what,

  450. God said, It ain't the body that I really wanted.

  451. So it was your faith from it that I wanted

  452. you to offer up. Because He was saying, put your

  453. faith on the altar of sacrifice and offer for it

  454. up in the form of righteousness. Oh, some of you

  455. think you're righteous by the works that you do. Now

  456. you think that by you serving in so many auxiliaries

  457. and doing all the ministry and the footwork, that you're righteous.

  458. But guess what, that's nothing but a work of faith.

  459. Is an attribute of his character. Faith is an attribute

  460. that moves you into the realm of his spiritual that

  461. makes you into a place where you're pleasing God.

  462. Because his righteousness came.

  463. Through his faith that Abraham was an attribute to He

  464. was an example of a type of Christ that moved

  465. in the realm of faith, even in the midst of

  466. being old testamental. He was a prototype of things that

  467. were to come, and he walked by faith. He said

  468. to Abraham, go into a country that you know not

  469. of that you gotta lead behind your body.

  470. You gotta lead behind.

  471. All those that were some of.

  472. You are not getting it to in this place.

  473. Still connected to the flesh, and you're still trying.

  474. To operate in a realm of faith, and you're wondering why.

  475. You keep hitting the same old brick wall of why

  476. you keep circling around in the wilderness and passing the

  477. same bush, because you have not gotten into the place

  478. that Moses got you, well, where he had to surrender

  479. his body, a full living sacrifice, because in order for

  480. the glory to sit upon him, he had to exchange something.

  481. Watch this, We're going to go to another place. I

  482. don't want this. Enoch was taken up. He was so

  483. he did not see death. Why could he not see death?

  484. Because he couldn't perceive it. See, he offered his body

  485. in order for him to transition. In order for him

  486. to translate, he had to exchange one for another.

  487. He had to exchange his body for spirit.

  488. You think, he says in the word, that should have

  489. renewed your mind. He said, I'm trying to do what

  490. Enoch had. I'm trying to exchange your body of flesh

  491. and give you my spirits. I mean, some of you

  492. are in dialysis, some of you got blood transfers that

  493. you gotta get that blood clean. There has to be

  494. an exchange, rains out all the bad blood and puts

  495. in all the good money. You gotta do this every day.

  496. He said, you've got to die Tohim because that body

  497. and constantly wants to be in the mode of flesh.

  498. I want this, Jesus, Jesus, Yes, God, Enoch.

  499. Made an exchange.

  500. But he heard this teaching from somebody, this perfect word

  501. of faith from somebody, because.

  502. It doesn't have any record that Enoch was necessarily listening

  503. to anybody.

  504. But I believe that he walked by the spirit, totally

  505. by the spirit. He walked totally by faith, and it

  506. pleased God. And God said, in exchange for your body,

  507. I'm gonna take you about here in the realms of

  508. the spirits. And because you've totally been consumed by faith,

  509. don't you understand that God wants to do with his people.

  510. Right here we have the full measure of Jesus Christ

  511. on the inside. Yet all we can do is we

  512. can't in pray a fly off the window seals. We

  513. can in pray arms that grow back on people's limbs,

  514. and people's eyes can't even see you.

  515. We have to well, you know, come here, woman of God.

  516. I know that you're blind.

  517. In one ear.

  518. Just keep believing, hollering. Oh yeah, she's still blind, haller,

  519. she's still wing hal she's still blind after you prayed

  520. for her. What's wrong her faith of yours, God, the

  521. God of all nations, living on the inside of your spirit.

  522. But you can't deliver.

  523. A cat Jesus Jesus Enoch was translated because he couldn't perceive.

  524. He didn't understand it.

  525. He didn't let death, he didn't let the body get

  526. in his soul.

  527. He didn't let the soul take over his mind. He

  528. didn't let the flesh rule and rain. He said, I'm

  529. giving this over. I'm giving my dirty blood over to you.

  530. I'm giving my dirty body over to you. I'm giving

  531. my dirty thoughts over to you. And he allowed the spirit.

  532. Of God to cleanse him.

  533. By faith, and it pleased God. And God said, I'm

  534. taking you out of here. But look at what it

  535. says before the translation. Okay, well, let's go to the scripture.

  536. Let me see if I can find it. Because I

  537. didn't put it in my notes. I believe it's Hebrews one,

  538. verse six, Hebrews Chapter I'm saying Hebrews chapter eleven, verse six.

  539. Actually we'll start at five. By faith, Enoch was translated

  540. that he could not see death. Why couldn't you see it?

  541. Because he was offering up his body. And when he

  542. offered up his body, I'm talking about the mind of flesh.

  543. God poured himself into Enoch and said, there is no

  544. need for you to be here, because faith has consumed you.

  545. Jesus glorious, and you have pleased me. So I'm gonna

  546. take you out of the realm of the flesh. But

  547. I'm gonna say something spiritual. Enoch is not dead. He's

  548. much alive in his people because Enoch is Christ. Lost

  549. me now.

  550. Because Enoch overcame death just like Jesus. Oh, y'all don't

  551. want to, but look at what it says.

  552. Before the translation, there was a testimony. He was the testimony.

  553. He became the testament of faith.

  554. His life became the testimony. He became the witness of

  555. faith until it consumed.

  556. His mind, took over his thinking.

  557. And therefore it pleased God to take him into his

  558. realm because Edith.

  559. Was him Lord.

  560. See, in order for us to travel in faith, our

  561. body has to be removed because faith is an attribute

  562. of the spirits. As Hebrews eleven says that we might

  563. as well just read it because it's not in my notes.

  564. Now.

  565. Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence

  566. of things not seen. Notice it doesn't say things that

  567. are seen. It says not seen. Why says faith is

  568. the substance. Substance means the object of things that are expected. Oh,

  569. my goodness, God is trying to get his people into

  570. a place of When you walk in faith, when you

  571. walk in the realms of faith, you are operating in

  572. a realm of expectation. The only time you see death

  573. is when your flesh is ruling right. But you don't

  574. see death when you're walking by faith in the realm

  575. of faith, because you're walking in a realm based upon

  576. the spirit.

  577. That's why when God says, sell.

  578. Your house, sell your body. See that's what you're doing. Yes,

  579. leave everything behind, leave your nets, Take up your cross.

  580. And what do you say? He said, take up your cross.

  581. Your cross is your body. He said, lay it on

  582. the altar. He said to Isaac, lay your body.

  583. On the altar, because your body.

  584. Is hindering me from allowing you to operate in faith.

  585. It is a very veil that you had to tear that.

  586. Yes God, Yes, God. Enoch was translated. He didn't see death.

  587. He didn't perceive it.

  588. Means he was not consciously aware of it because he

  589. operated in faith.

  590. He operated in a realm that was outside of death.

  591. God. I'm sorry, I'm taking.

  592. Yes. Lord.

  593. See, that's why faith will have you do crazy things,

  594. because it's gonna go totally contrary to the things of

  595. this world.

  596. It's gonna go totally contrary to what man says.

  597. Man's gonna always Oh.

  598. Let me hold up, let me hold.

  599. He didn't embrace it because there was something else that

  600. he traded it for. He became a complete sacrifice of faith, because.

  601. When you embrace faith, you please God.

  602. Yes, your righteousness is not based upon what you do.

  603. It is based upon operating in the character and the

  604. spirit of faith. God does not need your work. Oh,

  605. I know somebody's gonna get mad at me. Boy, so

  606. you mean to tell me I've.

  607. Been in this church for over twenty years.

  608. I'm the mother, and I sat on the board of directors.

  609. Got saved here when I was fifteen years old.

  610. God don't care, and you're gonna meanestes that sits on

  611. the board, and you're the one. You become Jezebel now

  612. because the pastor gave you a promo. I know, I'm

  613. talking about somebody on the podcast, and you became the

  614. meanest snake there is that slivers it something. Okay, if

  615. I talk about your mother, too bad. But you don't

  616. operate in the fruits of faith because the Bible says

  617. that you could do all the wonderless things. But if

  618. you lack charity, you sound like nothing that has any sound.

  619. It's just like faith. You could do all the works

  620. in the world, but.

  621. Jesus not being it. You know, all the people that

  622. said God told them.

  623. God told me.

  624. To go travel across the country. God told me to build,

  625. He told me to start the Lord told me. And

  626. it's nothing but your flesh because there's.

  627. No fruit coming from Jesus.

  628. Your spirit that implifies the works that's you do. Okay,

  629. let's go to Hebrews chapter six. Hebrews chapter six, Hebrews

  630. eleven six. I'm sorry if your mama, if your mama

  631. slapped your mama and ate grapes, it's too bad. Hebrews

  632. eleven six. Let's get to the nitty gritty part. We

  633. got some strange phenomena. We're hearing the door open and

  634. people aren't coming in. I heard it was Shelley and

  635. Alan Fonsa. Shelley and Alonfonsa. Oh she came in. Okay,

  636. it says, but without faith it is impossible to please

  637. him for he Mu. He that cometh to God must believe.

  638. That he is.

  639. And that He is a rewarder of them that diligently.

  640. Oh no, I I I'll equate it to some of

  641. you in our day and age. Let me read the

  642. scripture again. I I I know I maybe I had

  643. a glitchen to comm it was Ai that did it.

  644. So I'm not gonna be Ai. I'm gonna be who

  645. you people are. But without faith, it is possible to please.

  646. God or to please him.

  647. For he that cometh to God must believe that he

  648. isn't and that he is a rewarded to them that.

  649. Don't seek him at all.

  650. They only seeking part time, or only seek them when

  651. their back is against the wall. And then get mad

  652. with God because I only sought you when I felt

  653. like it. But then you expect God to get you

  654. out of your mess or to reclaim what should have been.

  655. But you only spend a partial amount of time with

  656. your God. Let me tell you something about Let me

  657. rap with you about faith, honey from experience, and this

  658. is not my notes, but I think this isn't fit

  659. a little bit.

  660. If you think that you're gonna be able to survive

  661. faith tests and not know your God, you're gonna die.

  662. Your faith is an assignment. It is not just character.

  663. It's an assignment.

  664. And I'm looking at Christians today, I'm laughing at them.

  665. Some of you wouldn't last five minutes with what I

  666. had to go through. Some of you would abandon ship.

  667. And that's why I'm gonna say a statement. Everybody that

  668. says they're friends with you aren't going to be able

  669. to survive. They've got a faith, walk.

  670. Money, even lost life.

  671. Even Lot's wife, well he was kind of a lot too,

  672. because mm hmmm.

  673. That goes to show you.

  674. With Abraham that God had told him to go to

  675. a land that he wouldn know not of and decided

  676. that he couldn't cut off his body, couldn't cut off

  677. their body. Mm hmmm. And so when it came time

  678. for them to walk in faith, they decided they were

  679. going to take their body with them, and then they

  680. became a lot. They became a weight. But see Lot

  681. could not go where Faith was going because with Lot

  682. there was a lot of flesh. Because when it came

  683. time for Lot to come out of Sodom and Gomorrah,

  684. because he had grace, Abraham came to rescue your tale.

  685. I said till I was very nice about it.

  686. And Lot told his wife, don't look back.

  687. I know I promised, because for you to go into faith,

  688. you can't look back at what has already happened.

  689. God, some of you are wrestling with thoughts and disappointment.

  690. You're wrestling with thoughts.

  691. That if I could have did this, I would have

  692. did that, and I should have took this turn, because

  693. I know if I would have took this turn, I

  694. would have got this promotion. But I'm gonna just jump

  695. down to all of this because I'll explain that a minute.

  696. It says you must believe that he is, meaning he

  697. is in every situation. Oh he is, until he is

  698. taking over in every aspect of your life.

  699. That he is has to take you over and get

  700. rid of the he's not.

  701. Oh, y'all, don't want this. When you walk in the faith.

  702. He is is going to take over, and he's not

  703. is coming out, thank you. This is why some of

  704. you can't walk in faith because you're still dealing with

  705. He's not. You're still dealing with identity problems. You're still

  706. struggling with who God is. But see, you don't diligently

  707. seek your Father enough to learn to know your Father

  708. so that he can impart to you through your faith.

  709. Because I can you something during my own personal struggles.

  710. I have been away from God. When I mean away,

  711. I'm talking about not spending the time I need to

  712. with God.

  713. And let me tell you something.

  714. As the wilderness gets a little close, As the wilderness

  715. gets a little you know, when the snow starts falling

  716. the movie, Oh snow don't start falling the wilderness. Oh

  717. yes it does.

  718. It gets cold sometime.

  719. Yes, you don't have somebody with me, Jesus, it gets

  720. a little.

  721. God, because I don't have somebody with me.

  722. To cover me when I'm cold.

  723. Jesus, y'all don't have that meat to cover you when

  724. you're cold. You don't have that body up there. It

  725. is you don't have that body covering you in the wilderness.

  726. In faith, Jesus.

  727. You don't know if you're coming or going.

  728. Oh, I know, I'm gonna talk about me for a minute. See,

  729. I don't even anybody know. I'm gonna tell you real experience.

  730. You're thinking you're hearing fifteen voices.

  731. I know some of you.

  732. Some of you still listen in the fifteen voices, M

  733. and you go to God.

  734. I'm wondering when I'm gonna get out of this thing, Jesus.

  735. Floods start talking. The flood.

  736. The body starts talking before the spirit. But see that's

  737. what God wants. God wants the body. God wants the body.

  738. Look as Shelley had a lot of harm.

  739. I don't try to put up the finger. I'm about

  740. to give you the finger. I'm walking up into my

  741. meeting late y'all broadcast.

  742. You know I can.

  743. I can speak it the way I want to. Let me.

  744. Let me get back to this, let me roll it back.

  745. He's eleven sixcess. You must believe that he is. But see,

  746. you can't believe that he is when you don't know

  747. who he is. Some of you spend time Jesus with God,

  748. but you're too busy spending time with your dead beat

  749. husband or you're dead beat father, that's the devil Jesus.

  750. And you don't know who your dady is Jesus. And

  751. then when it's.

  752. Time to go through the faith trial, Jesus, Lord, where.

  753. Did you go?

  754. And God said, no, where did you go?

  755. He said in verse six.

  756. But without faith it is impossible to please him.

  757. For he that comment to God must believe that he is.

  758. But you can't believe who he is when you don't

  759. know who he is.

  760. And that's why he says he rewards them that diligently.

  761. He's a manifestation when you seek God with all your heart,

  762. leaving your body behind. I'm talking about your flesh.

  763. When you give up your house. Oh y'all don't want

  764. to do that. You don't want to give up your car.

  765. And that's why it gets taken because he's trying to

  766. sacrifice your body.

  767. Your body is your flesh. The things that are connected.

  768. He said, diligently seek me.

  769. It means without in.

  770. Because the faith walk is the cleansing walk. The faith

  771. walk is what gets you.

  772. Into the relationship with God because I'm faithfully knowing.

  773. That, Oh God, here, come, let me take off my brain.

  774. Lord word, maybe Sully, you should have stayed in the hallway.

  775. Diligently seeking him is what deals with the mind be

  776. being renewed. But why am I renewing my mind daily?

  777. Because you have a body that is going to stop

  778. the progress of His spirits consuming you and cleansing you

  779. into a place that fills you up with his Faith.

  780. Diligently means to pursue.

  781. Persistence. Oh God, let me put the dough on, Lord Jesus,

  782. let me put it on attentively showing care. It involves deep,

  783. earnest commitment. Now I'm gonna stay with the commitment. Now

  784. I'm gonna fry you like eggs on commitment. We're only

  785. committed when there's a benefit, only when there's a benefit.

  786. But are we committed to God when we lost every faith?

  787. Jesus, you know you're committed to paying your bills, But

  788. why are we not committed to the God that knows

  789. all things? Do we not trust the God that knows

  790. all things? Maybe we don't trust him because we don't

  791. fellowship with him. But without faith, which is the persuasion

  792. and creditence a moral conviction, it means truth. Without the

  793. true measure of faith, it is impossible to please God.

  794. To be in righteousness with him.

  795. He saved you by grace.

  796. He didn't save you because you look good or that

  797. you had a lot of money. He saved you technically

  798. because he wasn't. First of all, we weren't even on

  799. his own.

  800. We were adopted into this state.

  801. He said, I'm gonna make my people, my body jealous Jesus.

  802. But I'm gonna get some snaggle tooth.

  803. Wig pulling make up, wearing, tattoo wearing people that I'm

  804. gonna pour my spirit in them through my faith, and

  805. they are.

  806. Gonna become my people by faith. But guess what he

  807. had an agenda, because not only did he come here

  808. to save his body, he came here to adopt his spirits.

  809. Exactly what he was doing, he set it up before

  810. the foundations of the.

  811. World without belief. Where does belief come from?

  812. When you allow yourself to become a testimony? You cannot

  813. testify about faith when you don't allow God to operate

  814. in you in your faith. It starts with this process

  815. your relationship with God. Your relationship with God builds.

  816. On your belief. Yes, because I can't believe in something

  817. I don't know.

  818. And as you begin to know him, and I promise

  819. you he's gonna tell you to do some dog crazy

  820. things that are gonna go against your body.

  821. And I know that I've heard this saying before with

  822. it and I'm danced with it.

  823. How do you know that God is speaking I said

  824. this before.

  825. It totally goes against what you.

  826. Would think, because at that time, your thinking is connected to.

  827. Your body, the very body that Isaac, that Abraham had

  828. to sacrifice on that altar.

  829. You don't know how many things in my lifetime God

  830. has said, give this up. And here's some things that

  831. he took away. Yes, because none of your stuff belongs

  832. to you. When you confessed with your mouth and you

  833. handed your body over to God, and you handed your

  834. mind over to God, when you handled your when you

  835. handled your wig over to God, your dress collection over

  836. to God.

  837. Guess what all your stuff became His stuff? And what

  838. you didn't read at the fine per us. Any time

  839. I want to take your house from.

  840. You to prove in faith, anytime I want to take

  841. your car away from you to prove you in faith,

  842. I am at liberty to do it.

  843. Nothing belongs to you. Your breath does not belong to you.

  844. I know people think that their breath belongs to them,

  845. but they don't belong to them.

  846. Right now, let's go back to Romans. Romans twelve two.

  847. We talked about the offering of our bodies a living sacrifice.

  848. The offering of our bodies a living sacrifice is the

  849. representation of our faith. We are offering our bodies in

  850. faith as a living sacrifice, which is our reasonable service.

  854. I'm gonna tell you right now, faith for transforming.

  855. Huh m, because let me tell you something.

  856. Let me read this little statement that I put.

  857. Where is it after the transformation, you must continue in

  858. renewing it, keeping in the place of transformative thinking. But

  859. I can't find the statement. Here's the statement. Here we go,

  860. we go right here. When you're conformed, you accept the norm. Okay,

  861. when you're transformed, you're reborn. Yes, let me say it

  862. again because I know the people in the backmen hear me.

  863. When you conformed, you accept the norm. That means that

  864. you accept your normal. But when you're transformed, you're reborn.

  865. That means in transformation, we don't stay in the.
