-
his name is great and greatly to be praised.

I'm sorry, podcast, for his name is praise and greatly
-
to be praise. I'm my podcast. You know his name
-

-
In the mix stuff everything that is happening, his name
-
is way greatly to be price.
-
Glorified us. How everybody walks off and leaves you for
-
his name is great and greatly to be praised.
-
When you get the silent treatment for his name is
-
great and greatly to be prays, But it seems like
-
you're walking alone.
-
His name is great and greatly to be prais. I
-
want to welcome up fire minister the Holy Spirit Ministry.
-
We're gonna little so you have the part in us.
-
Lords one. We're just doing a little bit of worship.
-
I know that story.
-
How think you go on ahead of worship God, Halleyah, because.
-
He's too He's greatly to be praised.
-
And he's greatly to be praised. He's greatly to be praised.
-
It's not about what he's doing for you. Probably praise
-
him and worship him because of who he is.
-
Because a movie, isla, I'm not.
-
Hollejah.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
-
See, we're not on a time frame. Y'all are on
-
a time frame. I'm not on a time frame. Intimacy
-
takes time. How I knew, y'all he on the s.
-
When you're speaking in Thomson, you won't have no interpretation, Honey.
-
I gotta find my God, Honey.
-
This is an individual thing, honey, halleluja Jesus.
-
I know the skeptics are listening. I know you're listening.
-
You wish you had an intimacy relationship. This is what
-
we mean, My Holy Spirit unextinguished. We're not on the
-
time frame, honey, as they're not going to close the
-
doors of the ministry.
-
Worship is an intimate thing. It takes time, honey, But
-
in baskets presence and know that God is with you.
-
Everybody else can leave you. But God, his name is Grace,
-
say his name is.
-
If you don't know that God life, that's faan great God.
-
You can't say half the things you're all worship, half
-
of the things.
-
You're saying, if you have not experienced him and tasted him.
-
To see that he's good.
-
I don't, Oh, Man of God, how did you know
-
that you were called? I'm gonna answer somebody's question. You
-
have to make your colleagues an election. Sure, I didn't
-
go to my pastor. I went to the shepherd.
-
God.
-
How know ye me? Yeah, Jesus, And I know I
-
went with him this morning. I know I went to.
-
Yes, she's yes, yes, whatever.
-
They want to say about me. But I know who
-
I am. I don't have to look to be validated.
-
I don't have to look to be checked. Jesus, think you, I.
-
Know who I am of and I know when I
-
shed over down that God.
-
I know that God is whiskey. Today. I know that
-
everything that has happened to the things that have gotten taken.
-
Away, the things that I voluntarily surrendered because.
-
I meant what I said. By God. I do not
-
want a routine with my life. I want to serve him.
-
But you don't know what you ask. Oh no, I
-
know what I ask.
-
While y'all all chasing temporary things, you got to come
-
a time of your life where your life has to die.
-
And I'm at the end of my days. I'm at
-
the end of my days. I'm not talking about fisicley.
-
I'm talking about.
-
In my flesh, my mind, I will my emotions. You know,
-
I was as I was praising God to do as
-
I was getting caught up in the praise and the
-
worship music can't do nothing, that's right. Intimacy doesn't take
-
such It just takes out of the abundance of the heart.
-
He says that those that worship Him must worship.
-
See, there's a requirement, there's a prerequisite to your worship. Yes,
-
everybody can scream about it, everybody can jump, hoop and
-
holler Jesus. But when it comes to intimacy time, when
-
the music gets cut off, when the people leave you
-
and they come out of the room, and can you
-
still offer up a fragrant that's right, that's right.
-
I was sitting up there, I was worshiping.
-
God, and then a praise came on me.
-
Lord God, Thank you. Oh, well, you don't really need
-
the praise, You just need the worship. The skeptic always
-
talking m praise is a response to the worship. Thank you.
-
He still needs adoration, he still needs exalted And as
-
I was praising him, I wonna let y'all know I've
-
had the most difficult week. Depression tried to set in.
-
She'm gonna be real about myself. No, many pastors don't
-
talk about their weaknesses Jesus, but I believe.
-
I can talk about mine. Well, you need to get delivered.
-
I am getting delivered.
-
You can't get the livery because you won't confess your
-
sins one to another.
-
You can't.
-
I've been battling a stronghold for a very long time,
-
and I believe God is going to give me a
-
victory because the stronghold is a part of the annoyty.
-
The Bible says that the annoying breaks the yokes.
-
But see, if you don't ever experience yokes, you can
-
experience the annointing breaking them.
-
And that's the problem.
-
You've got too many people in church that want to
-
judge Jesus. But see, you don't realize that everything that
-
I go through is the makeup of building me into
-
who I am in love.
-
And as I was sitting there praising him.
-
I'm telling you one word, I said, I want to
-
hear from God.
-
One word. My car got taken, Thank you Jesus. My
-
job got taken. How are you gonna pay your stuff?
-
Now? I told you one word. It's not about paying
-
my stuff. It's not about getting another job. I have
-
a job, you see.
-
God. See when you die.
-
When you say that you wanna serve God, you don't
-
know the sacrifice that's gonna come with it.
-
It's easy for you to sit here.
-
And say the sacrifice until it comes. My car got taken,
-
My job went with my car, and the flesh started
-
going through, stuff going through I'll say, growing pains. Well,
-
if you would have did this right, you still would
-
have had it. Oh no, see, it's not even about that.
-
It's about where I'm going. You complain long enough, you
-
think God.
-
To hear you.
-
But see, the temporal things don't matter when you're operating
-
in faith. I thank God for a father who is
-
sensitive to what I ask him. I ask God to
-
take me out of my routine.
-
I ask God if I could serve him. I ask God, if.
-
I could preach his truth to people that would listen.
-
I ask God, well, why would you be crazy enough
-
to ask it? Because I have enough sense to ask
-
God for eternal things.
-
Not temporary thing.
-
Jesus, the temporary will come when you be about his business.
-
But see, the temporal things are not for you to
-
worship a temporal faith. It's for you to attach a
-
temporary thing and make it eternal. Your car is not
-
meant for you. But your car needs to carry people
-
to the House of God. Your car needs to carry
-
food to people that need to be. I sat there
-
and I praised God, and I worshiped Him in the.
-
Midst of my depression.
-
This week, what I did when I went through my
-
flesh was depressed because it sees no way out, It
-
sees no remedy, it sees.
-
No expected in. But I thank God for his word.
-
Thank God. It's faithful Lord, when you trust him, when
-
you give it all. I told you, this is my
-
dying dad answers.
-
I would have thought that when things got taken, I'd
-
be sitting there at the rental office crying.
-
But see, like God said, the rental is over. He said,
-
your car is sitting on the lot. But see, it's
-
not about the car. There's an annointing that goes with it.
-
There's a processing faith that goes with it. I don't
-
want the car, I want the faith. See, I'm already
-
blessed when I have the faith. I already knew a
-
long time ago people were not gonna hang with me
-
because they knew what they were gonna have to give up.
-
I sat in that chair out of breath because I
-
think I prazed the floor open. First of all, I
-
want to thank God for my sister.
-
I want to thank God for I'll say a vandalists
-
up in here as a thank her. Let me tell
-
you why, because right now I don't have a place
-
to lay my head. And I know I've been tearing
-
with her for a very long time. And like I said,
-
I know God hasn't expected in, but she has been
-
gracious enough to open up her phone to.
-
The man of God. Why don't you have a place
-
because I had to give it up. That's right.
-
You think I wanted to volunteer. That comes with the trip,
-
But when do you think you have a place. Listen,
-
I'm trying to get to faith. And it's funny when
-
the man of God can sit with someone, and his
-
ministry can be depositive into someone's home. God knows what
-
he's doing. Yes, I didn't plan any of this. I
-
didn't plan this ministry. It came into birth.
-
Yes, And the skeptics have said, why do you need
-
this and why do you need that? Jesus, thank you God.
-
But God said, be faithful. While I was sitting there,
-
he said, one word tells you. One word, that's all
-
you need. He said this to me, and I began
-
to weep, because when you're going through so much and
-
you're waiting, I said, I don't want to hear from
-
nobody else. Don't tell me about trust God. I don't
-
want to hear it. I want to hear from it.
-
He thought. Yes, he said one word to me, He said, Jonathan,
-
I have not forgotten about you.
-
That's right.
-
It may look like I have forgotten about you, but
-
I have not forgotten about you. He said, Terry, in
-
my word, go preach and teach, even when you're afraid
-
to places you have never been before. Whether somebody goes
-
with you or doesn't. Jesus, but he said, I have
-
not forgotten you. And when I'm begin to hear that word.
-
I lost it, And he said, now praise me, Now,
-
praise me, praise me like like you don't have any
-
other chance. He said, praise me Jesus. And Honey, I
-
skipped air around this for you. You think that's serving God.
-
You're gonna get to keep everything you think serving. Somebody
-
got on the phone me the other day and said, well,
-
I couldn't lose everything like you got.
-
You've lost everything. I don't think I can get in
-
that place. Oh no, honey, the more you go in faith,
-
the more you're gonna lose.
-
Did it ever occur to you that certain circumstances you
-
didn't ask for they were out of your control?
-
Right? But when God is done.
-
With something, he wants to do something else. He wants
-
to usher in something else. He kept saying to me.
-
He said, just let it go. He said, don't He said,
-
don't try to hold it, let it go. Yeah, be
-
free with it. Because Paul had to be content, he said, well,
-
this was fourth season. I guess you just want to
-
use my feet God, Jesus, He said.
-
There's not one thing that if I wanted you to have,
-
that you could have. But see, people's priorities are out
-
of order.
-
You inspect God to bless you with a car, You
-
inspect God to bless you.
-
With a house, but you had no faith in your container.
-
Jesus, Jesus, all of the blessings you've gotten have been
-
manufactured by your own little plans, in your manipulative ways.
-
And then when I come back to you and ask you,
-
where are you in your faith?
-
They have nothing to give you. Mm. That's right, thank you.
-
I want to welcome you in the podcast. No, I
-
didn't go.
-
Crazy, I didn't go into the defense. I'm living this experience. Yes,
-
I'm trusting him. I'm testing out.
-
The word to see if it's God or not. You know,
-
I've heard about fifty different voices. Oh well, he must
-
not be sure of the Lord. Oh no, let me
-
tell you something. The Lord will allow those fifty voices.
-
Oh y'all not hear me.
-
Oh you think you're always gonna hear one voice, You're
-
gonna hear many voices. Yes, that's why the Bible says
-
in John.
-
First John four to one.
-
Test the spirit? Well, how do I test it? Any
-
voices are gonna come to you. But let me tell
-
you something.
-
God's one word is always a command. He said, go
-
and preach my word. See, there wasn't nothing left over.
-
There ain't no ifs, buts in question.
-
That's how you weed out the voices.
-
And some come in flesh, that's right.
-
Come some come black, some come white, some Puerto Rican,
-
Many different voices, many different nations will speak to you.
-
One thing I've learned, when God speaks, it's a command,
-
and that's how I differentiate.
-
Why do you think half the stuff you tried to
-
do didn't work out? Okay?
-
I tried many things. He told me about my business.
-
He said, just be faithful. Be faithful. That's it.
-
He said, your business is my business. So you can't
-
handle it.
-
You can't handle that because that doesn't really mean that
-
we have a roadmand.
-
Oh yes it does. When God gives me a command,
-
I do it.
-
That's because if he's reigning in you, you become his command.
-
You become his word. His word commands a response. But
-
I want to thank God for men. April.
-
She opened up her home. She put up with me
-
for over a year. I was at Sheryl's house. But
-
God began to bring me over here because there's a
-
certain anointing here. One that's I'll say, discipline. It's rough
-
around the edges, but there's discipline.
-
You know, April, she was a marine.
-
Isn't that something the marines were trained to kill? Maybe
-
I'll get that anointing Jesus. Well, you sit there long enough,
-
you probably might. But anointings feed others. Iron sharpens irony.
-
And since I've been here her prayer life as elevated,
-
and I hear the Lord say, continue in my presence,
-
continue to be faithful.
-
But that word is crucial. The word is the.
-
Roadmap of your life, because without it you can't see.
-
Right.
-
I was scheduled to talk about something and then well
-
you said, he want to build on the little more.
-
That's okay. I'm prepared in season and not a season.
-
So today we're gonna continue part two of this is
-
not a test? All right?
-
All right now, Oh Man of God, aren't you discouraged
-
about where you're headed?
-
No, because I'm headed in faith. Yes. Now, a lot of.
-
People will listen to this podcast and they'll think I'm crazy.
-
Mm hmm. Well you need to have it this way,
-
you need to have it that way. You gotta have
-
a home, you gotta be established. Well, thank God, I
-
don't have any children or a wife. Isn't that something? Well?
-
Why would you?
-
What would cause him to leave his You know he
-
had a house and him now he doesn't.
-
They don't sound like God to me.
-
You know why it don't sound like God to you
-
because God didn't speak to you.
-
He spoke to me. It ain't gonna never sound like
-
God to you.
-
Because the God that speaks to me doesn't speak the
-
same to you.
-
But I guarantee you, when you need a word, you
-
know who to come to.
-
When you need a prayer to get through, you know
-
who to bring them digits.
-
That's way it is.
-
Because if I had to stand on some of your faith,
-
I'd be dead. Some people couldn't hang with me because
-
they knew what death was about to come. That's right,
-
because when he tells you to surrender it or involunteer,
-
people don't think involved luntarily.
-
He ain't gonna take stuff.
-
I'm gonna talk about all that today, yes.
-
Because I'm living proof. Well, I've been listening to something.
-
Your thumbs.
-
It'd be like two hours, honey, let me tell you
-
something to spit a guy, get a hold of me, listen.
-
That's why we ain't know no time.
-
I can come in this room every day and I
-
can offer up a worship. I can sit in this
-
in this room, because we in the room.
-
We no building. We don't need no building. We the building.
-
Right.
-
Well, I was looking for some big recording stupia, And
-
that's your problem right there.
-
You think you need all of this. All I need
-
is a street corner.
-
Oh that's too much freedom.
-
Well why you ain't doing it right now? You know why?
-
Because there's a level of faith I need to get to.
-
So excuse me while I go through my journey in faith.
-
God's got to kill off every part of my body.
-
He's got to kill you.
-
He said, as you decrease, the spirit of God will increase.
-
What do you think the spirit of God is going
-
to go to the levels of faith. The spirit of
-
God hungers after faith and don't hunger after flesh. So
-
that's why I know the difference between people who say.
-
What they do. That's right.
-
So the second test that we're about to face is
-
the test of truth.
-
Oh, God, here we go. We're in it now.
-
We are living in a time where the ideological mind
-
a man is changing facts and turning knowledge into fables
-
and lives altering truth understanding the true understanding of standing
-
on facts instead of falseness. We are about to experience
-
a season of self unawareness along with a period of
-
uselessness amongst the people.
-
Of truth.
-
What will seem truthful to some is going to be
-
false to others. The fabric of what is true and
-
right in society will be replaced with what is considered
-
unjustly qualified. People who know truthfully that they are committing
-
a crime will be given immunity, while the ideological approach
-
is meant to keep people in the understanding of what
-
is true will deteriorate into a position of falseness of
-
facts that are true.
-
Let me just break it down to you, so you understand.
-
What is a lie is going to become truth and
-
you see it happening now. But why is God allowing this? Well,
-
I can tell you why, because a lot of you
-
just we have people, I'll say, mainly in the church,
-
who listen to a lot of here set, but they
-
don't listen to the one that's declared what is being said, Well,
-
what do you mean?
-
A lot of you want to hear from.
-
A pastor, A lot of you want to definitely want
-
to hear from a prophet, not a.
-
Bunch of liars out there. God said in.
-
Romans, I believe, I believe it's one seventeen that I
-
would in strong delusion.
-
That the people would believe a lie.
-
Why would God bring something that is so delusional that
-
they would believe a lie, Because, first of all, delusion
-
deals with what is seen and can be manipulated, and
-
anything that is seen in front of me, I can
-
always change it to make you believe that it's true.
-
The problem that we're dealing with here right now is
-
we have a lot of people that.
-
Are in authority, and because they're in authority, they believe
-
that they're credible to say what they're saying. They believe
-
that they have been given the charge over speaking certain
-
things over their life without an accountability or a check
-
of speaking something that is out of context.
-
What do you say?
-
Everything that comes out of your mouth that you say
-
is truth should be filtered by the receptor or some
-
other voice that will check you. Right now, I know
-
the people in this room personally, and I know if
-
I say something heinous, they're gonna come to me after.
-
You know, our little service, and they're gonna say you said.
-
Something that kind of rubbed me a little. I need
-
you to explain. I need you to explain what you mean.
-
No person in this room is immature enough not to
-
come to me and say I did not understand.
-
What you meant.
-
Now, why would you say that you did not understand
-
what I meant? That's because you have built up enough facts,
-
you've built up enough research, and you and your God
-
have gotten together and he has spoken to you that
-
you've got enough sense to know that when a voice
-
that God would use is only to confirm or bring
-
direction to where you're heading, would say something that doesn't
-
seem a little in line.
-
What God has already said to you.
-
Even pertaining to his word, there are certain things in
-
word that a lot of people in these days use flesh,
-
and they use flesh as truth, but in reality based
-
upon what people believe, as I'll say, doctrine and theology,
-
because there's different kinds. You have man's theology and then
-
you have God's theology. And a lot of times people
-
will use the flesh as a foundation to their theology
-
and build upon that principle.
-
But yet what I've seen is is.
-
That people do not come into the fullness of who
-
they are based upon the doctrines of man. And I
-
said a lot, And I'll just break it down even further.
-
Some of you came out of churches that said.
-
They don't believe in tongues, and you walked in that truth,
-
my faith. But it wasn't until the truth was tested
-
with facts of the words.
-
This is why it's so important to know the word
-
for yourself. See, some of you are so used to
-
the pastor and the prophet coming with a word, and
-
then once you hear the word, you get out of
-
the room and you go.
-
Home, and that's the end of that. But I can
-
be telling you a lie. You know.
-
How can you rightly divide when there's nothing to divide,
-
when you have not even divided the very truth that is.
-
Speaking to you?
-
Okay, well, you know I only got two people in here,
-
so it shouldn't be that hard. I mean, I could
-
chase one out of fid I chase the rest of them. Mind,
-
I told you I clean out people's churches. But I
-
wouldn't be speaking on something if I myself am not
-
experiencing it.
-
How can you diviightly divide the word.
-
Of truth when you will not allow this written word
-
to divide what is not truthful in you.
-
I think I'm right where I need to be. Something.
-
You don't realize that you're operating off of the wrong
-
and you're sitting right here, some of you. You're sitting
-
in here and you shouldn't even be here. It's not
-
because I told you, but it's because the truth in
-
you has not moved you to being and walking in
-
places in truth that are based upon your own experience.
-
Let me just break this down. Let's go to John
-
sixteen twelve.
-
Oh, here we go. Now, I don't think they can
-
vote me out. God, you put me here right. Well,
-
you only got two people up and the hey that
-
because they're the only ones that have listened. Don't worry.
-
We had about forty people on podcasts too.
-
So well, and then we had this spike in the
-
summer over ninety listeners, and then it kind of else
-
started to dwindle down.
-
But in all the.
-
Times that I've done this, I haven't gotten one phone call,
-
so I'm pretty.
-
Sure it's maybe it got too much truth.
-
And then they said, oh I ain't calling him. That
-
means i'ma have to die. Yeah, when you go listen,
-
this is a death experience. You can't know the gospel
-
without a death.
-
That's the truth.
-
Now, I'm just gonna say this right now. If I
-
step on you, I'm stepping on me. If you got
-
offend it, I did my job. It's gonna offend me
-
before it offends you. But some of us need a
-
word life. I'm telling you, some of us need a
-
word life.
-
True. You can't eat it when you feel like it,
-
that's true.
-
Right.
-
Amen.
-
Now you'll sit up there and watch the news. Amen, go,
-
somebody knows where I'm going. And we can sit there
-
and play pac Men on our phone, even after the
-
word came forth that we weren't supposed to be doing.
-
But yet, when it's time for the work. See, I'm
-
gonna tell you something. There will come a season where
-
the man of God, who or the person that God
-
has designated.
-
And shuts up? Amen.
-
Amen, you think the pastor wants to do all the talking,
-
He has a body, he has a hand on the foot.
-
They still move to.
-
I know some of you coming from bodies where the
-
pastor does all the talking. Thankfully, I don't do all
-
the talking.
-
In this season. I gotta do all the talking. I
-
guess because somebody is not looking at the.
-
Time launch or they'll wait till the pastor tells me, hey,
-
can you come speaking?
-
Why does God? Why does the pastor have to tell you?
-
Amen?
-
Jesus Amen?
-
Maybe there's no up and in there to let me
-
get to the scripture. Hold on, I better get there.
-
Verse twelve. I have yet many things to say unto you.
-
I got a lot to say to you, but uh huh,
-
you cannot bear them now. Howbeit, when he the spirit
-
of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth.
-
For he shall not speak of himself. H oh, really,
-
but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak. And
-
he will show you things to come looking at that
-
right there. That's why some of you in this room
-
and in podcast are off?
-
Did I say that? Did I say that some of
-
you are off? Your prayer is off, your beat.
-
Is off, your velocity is off. You got to connect
-
with somebody just to get a prayer through.
-
Oh, I hear it's a going.
-
You know why, because you're off. You cannot bear witness
-
to them at this time.
-
He said, I have many.
-
Things I want to say to you, but you cannot
-
handle them.
-
You know why? You can't handle them because you had
-
not built up oh well in your spirit.
-
That if I even revealed these things to you.
-
Your spirit ain't gonna wanna go. Oh.
-
Let me break it down to you. I gave you
-
the word of God, that's my truth. But you won't
-
eat it, you won't digest it, and.
-
You won't walk in it. Therefore, you cannot.
-
Bear what I want to show you because you won't
-
have any understanding of what I'm showing you. Let me
-
tell you something about a navigation system. See, I don't
-
want to preach on. Come on, I'll talk about my life.
-
Y I ain't gotta talk about yours. The navigation system
-
brought me all the way here to East Hartford. I
-
didn't plan on coming here. I didn't plan on living here.
-
I didn't plan on establishing a ministry here. But the
-
navigation system brought me here. You know what the navigation
-
system is? My spirit bear witness with the word that
-
he gave me, and then he confirmed it out of
-
the Woman of God.
-
Yes, and then he began to.
-
Show me and deal with me individually about establishing a
-
place where people.
-
Could eat and be empowered to be sent out.
-
But guess what, it didn't come into establishment until I
-
brought the tools together. Now listen, before this place came
-
into operation, the word came.
-
That's right, that's right, that's the word came first. There's
-
a vision up there of words.
-
While I was being faithful somewhere else, God gave me
-
some words. He said, this is what you're gonna establish it.
-
As I was sitting there cutting the grass.
-
Or you think a word only comes into black and white,
-
but it helps you.
-
Let me give you some moura. The Word of God
-
is your manual, not the pastor. The word of God
-
is your manual. The pastor is only the illuminative expression
-
of faith.
-
Through the word. He empowers you to get in that word.
-
I can't be a word for you. I can only
-
be an example. And I can tell you I got
-
a word lot, and I don't listen.
-
If I sit there and watch TV all night, my
-
tail gets in that word. When I got finished at
-
two o'clock in the morning watching my program, I got
-
my little word together and was typing it while I
-
was watching it. Y'all not ready, But I'm sitting there
-
cutting the grass being faithful in the position. The position
-
wasn't all that great. I was in a dead place. See,
-
y'all don't know. You don't know my life. And I'm
-
sitting there tending over somebody else's problem. And that's when
-
I heard eternal fire ministries. I said, oh, I'm about
-
to go find out where they were at. I didn't
-
need a word because I'm in this dead church, this
-
other dead ministry.
-
I said, I don't have to find out who this is.
-
He said, no, that's your ministry, and you will establish
-
it now.
-
The word is coming forth. But guess what God trained me.
-
I went through a couple of consecrations. See, y'all ain't ready.
-
We went You went through a consecration. Yeah, because I
-
had to prepare my flesh for sipping a couple of meals.
-
So I'm sorry, y'all. Okay, y'all want to do that.
-
I'm getting ready to do that now because I'm trying
-
to go to another level too salty in here. I'm
-
preparing my body, consecrating, going in the prayer.
-
Shack, y'all ain't ready for that. Wondering why I'm getting
-
up at two o'clock in the morning.
-
To be with God till the sun comes up, forsaking
-
the assembly, staying home sometimes to consecrate, and they wondering
-
where you at.
-
Oh, no, you ain't.
-
Finding this profit. I'm sorry, I know you ain't finding me.
-
That's why I only give out my telephone number. On
-
the phone, you ain't getting me addressed. Well, I know
-
your man now, Because sometimes a word don't need to
-
be seen, it just needs to be expressed.
-
That's right.
-
When I'm sitting there consecrating, down in the basement two
-
three o'clock in the morning, everybody's sleep, I'm sitting there
-
in the word, I'm eating eating meals, honey, eating good meals,
-
and God began to reveal things and show me things
-
about my destiny and my per Oh, I'm sorry you're
-
sitting here talking about.
-
Wow, what do he show you? What do he show you?
-
We read the word, we sit there and we try.
-
I gotta try to figure this out, Honey.
-
Take all the time you need. But as I sat
-
there in that basement, I knew I was.
-
Being prepared for something, even in the midst of everything
-
going opposite in my life.
-
Because I'm gonna tell you right now, when you read
-
that word, I'm gonna tell you everything on honey, in
-
the natural, It's gonna go contrary. But then two years later,
-
I'm sitting in Bozeman's house. I don't know why I'm
-
sitting up in here trying to establish something for her.
-
And then God said, take these words down.
-
You're gonna write the vision of your ministry. But it
-
was not in stone. What am I trying to say
-
about the Word. The Word of God is your prophecy,
-
it's your expected Then it's showing you.
-
The room map of where you're going.
-
The things you got to put under, the posture, the perspective,
-
the revelationship of how you are going to die and
-
come into the full knowledge of the revelation of Esus Christ.
-
It is the road map that when a spirit comes
-
to you in a voice to a person, it should
-
confirm that I'm in the right place, going in the
-
right direction, based upon the manual.
-
Not Some of you want to.
-
Hear a word, but it ain't got no manual. Some
-
of you have are in faith right now. Some of
-
you have gotten possessions in faith right now, and you
-
don't know how to operate them because you ain't in
-
the manual. God gave you the word, He gave you
-
the instrument, But the instrument is sitting because you ain't
-
been in the manual on how to operate in it. Okay,
-
God brings things to your possession. He puts you in places.
-
Right now, I'm in a place where I have nothing.
-
So when you are in a place where you have
-
nothing in the natural, that's where you need to decrease
-
this flesh, because he's trying to kill some things out.
-
But see, you wouldn't know that if you don't read
-
the word, if you don't understand the seasons and the
-
timeframes of what previous people men of faith had to
-
go through, men of faith they had to endure.
-
See, you ain't heard none of that, and.
-
So then when a bumbabee stings you, you fall apart.
-
That's why he said, there are many things I want
-
to say on to you, but you can't bear them
-
because you know why, you don't understand them. The Manual
-
brings understanding. Some must don't realize we're sitting here, sitting
-
and we should be moving.
-
Oh God, let me get to the notes. I'll read
-
the notes, filter out everything.
-
See, Jesus is wise about telling things in his own timing.
-
He is only sharing things that are pertaining to what
-
is already manifesting. In order for you to bear the time,
-
you must be led into the time, he said.
-
He led them into this.
-
Jesus was presenting knowledge to them that helped them understand
-
the truthfulness of what was happening in front of them.
-
Wha says, the Spirit of Truth is a guide. Oh,
-
the Lord told me. God's God said that, I'm supposed
-
to Okay, So why aren't you doing it?
-
Two? Three? The devil after me?
-
Four? Five?
-
Six?
-
If God told you this, if the spirit of Truth
-
told you, get in the word, why aren't you getting
-
in it?
-
You know? And I'll go write my resignation. I think
-
the day is the day. The spirit of Truth is
-
a god. When you come into.
-
A circumstance, when you have to go up through a situation,
-
God doesn't leave you. He guides you with his truth.
-
You cannot walk with God and be ignorant of what
-
is truly in front of you. Then the spirit of
-
the God or the spirit of the Lord isn't leading you.
-
It's something in nice spirit.
-
Okay, what is it? I don't know? Are you kidding me?
-
I know Lord is doing.
-
Something to know you saying that because somebody else said it.
-
See I know you.
-
You ain't hearing the Lord.
-
You hearing your flash because your spirit is trying to
-
hang on to dear life.
-
I'm gonna help you with I'm gonna help some people today.
-
I know you know I'm I'm for you. Now.
-
You know your pastor is not your friend. No, you
-
suck from your pastor just like a baby with a bottle.
-
You figure, Hey, I ain't gotten a word this week,
-
So you know what, I'll just wait to the past
-
get up there on Sunday and I'll suck a little
-
something and then that shit carry me through the rest
-
of the week. And then okay, so when that circumstance comes,
-
when they get hand you another bell that you didn't expect.
-
Here, it ain't going. Yeah, we're the first ones ready
-
to jump ship. Your pastor is not your battery. That's right,
-
that's right.
-
Well, you know I know the Man of God, he
-
got so much revelation and I want to hear what
-
he's saying.
-
But why ain't nothing coming out of you? What's wrong
-
with your battery? You know why? Because you dura setled it.
-
You put it in things that sucked your time. Oh,
-
let me get my resumes. I better give my papers.
-
You put it in something that was temporary, and it
-
sucked all your energy outs.
-
Talk about it, talk about it, and that's why some
-
of you, when you're coming to prayer you're so stale.
-
Well, I know if I can get with sisters sew
-
and so and brother so and so, they can help
-
me out, because Lord, I know, honey, I should be
-
of a lot of match and it be set off.
-
Lord, same thing with the word true, true, come up
-
here off stale, Well.
-
The Lord, I know he said.
-
Something to me, and let me see if I can
-
get my cloth here.
-
Hold on, you came in, you guys. Just pray my
-
strength in the Lord. I was up all night.
-
You weren't up all night. You were up all night
-
with the TV. Then you try to get a little something.
-
I will, I'm getting a little something up in here. No,
-
that ain't how it works.
-
When the Spirit of Truth gets you something, it ain't
-
a little key this or something. He gives you the
-
whole load for the moment that you're in, and then
-
he says, get in the manual so that you have
-
understanding of what I'm showing you. You think he just
-
gives you a picture. You think he just gives you
-
a dream, and you ain't got no manual, and.
-
You're walking around here.
-
Well, I'm waiting for my blessing come. It can come
-
any time it wants to come, Oh, Lord Jesus. And
-
then when the blessing does come and it don't look
-
like what it should look like according to your expectations.
-
Oh, that ain't mine. I ain't gonna mess with that,
-
you know, I'm just waiting on the Lord. No, the
-
Lord's waiting on you.
-
He already showed you, He prophesied to you, he told
-
you what was gonna happen.
-
Well, I'm just gonna see here and wait and keep waiting, honey.
-
I keep telling you. The vehicle that you're using it's
-
supposed to be moving you to the place.
-
Jesus's I gotta speak in Spanish. I gotta speak Spanish.
-
Some of you get a possession and you don't know
-
what to do with it. The manue goes with the possession.
-
The manue goes with the blessing.
-
He gives you the instruction of what the blessing is for.
-
I know somebody. Oh, the Lord just blessed me with
-
one hundred dollars. My daughter gave me one hundred dollars.
-
Did he tell you what to do with it? Well, no,
-
I just put it in my savings of God. The
-
man you didn't tell you what to do with it.
-
He didn't prepare you.
-
I just know he keeps telling me, I'm gonna get
-
this big blessing.
-
I'm gonna get this big blessing. Yeah, and you know what,
-
your flesh is gonna be blessed. And you ain't gonna do.
-
What God is all y'all alone, leave me alone, leave
-
me alone, leave me alone. And the Lord said, and
-
the Lord said it, He said he was gonna bless
-
me in.
-
The meantime, I'm gonna keep working. And why is he
-
blessing you? Well, because I know he said, I've been faithful,
-
faithful over what faith over some souls. Because I don't
-
see souls that are running around.
-
Girls, I said, these people kill me. No, it's I
-
don't see him in the park. I don't see him
-
on the buses. But everybody's trying to run into God
-
to get the word. No, you don't want the word.
-
You don't want the word of truth, because, like I said,
-
when you get the word of truth, your.
-
Flesh your stuff. Ya gonna get lesser and lesser. That's true, Lord,
-
that's truth.
-
The Spirit cannot lead you into ignorance. The Spirit gave
-
you a command, get in my word. But why would
-
God tell me to get in my word? Because you're
-
ignorant of something that I'm about to bring to your possession.
-
There is something that you already have that you're ignorant
-
about how to operate in it. And I want to
-
tell you how to operate in it. And not only that,
-
I want to get some truth in you. So when
-
some booker man comes in and he looks like he's.
-
A saint, and you cut me out, help me out.
-
Some of you letts preach in your church because you
-
ain't got no words.
-
You don't know what to look for people. Well what
-
do you look for? He said?
-
You will know them by their fruits? Well, how would
-
you know that? Because I read the manual? Yes, fine,
-
I don't care if you're a pastor.
-
I know a phony one when I see it, m
-
especially one that holds an art. Don't talk about it.
-
Talk about that. I don't hold any arts. I don't
-
have a problem. Don't talk about that one. You want
-
a pastor, but you've got an art. Uh oh, I
-
don't think there's any fruit there.
-
Yes, Lord, you're a pastor, but you don't want to
-
submit to the prophet.
-
Listen, I'll tell you right now.
-
I'll submit to anybody that has the fruits of God.
-
But the minute that state arrogant attitude comes on you,
-
I'm out. See the people you think as pastors and prophets,
-
See there's humility that comes with those offers.
-
I can tell you. I love you know. I know
-
a lot of pastors. I know a lot of them,
-
you know, I know the map. I met some in
-
bush and a park.
-
I met some in an overpass in Richmond, Virginia. I
-
found some that were in a car or box and
-
y'all not ready, Oh my God. And they had a
-
better word than some of the people that I thought
-
had the anority. The spirit cannot leads you into ignorance.
-
He doesn't walk in his own authority, but he hears.
-
That's what the scripture says. He hears from the authority,
-
and the authority speaks to.
-
Him, and he speaks to you.
-
He is getting instructions from the fire.
-
And when you read this word and you allow your
-
spirit now to give you illumination. You're getting instruct He's
-
preparing you for what.
-
That's why when I'm gonna get to that, hold on.
-
We know that the word of God only becomes true
-
until you understand what you're walking. If you do not
-
read his instructions, how do you know where you're going?
-
Well, I know the prophet will come.
-
I know the man that he beat his Sunday, and
-
I know if I can just wag my tail a
-
little bit, I can get him to speak a word
-
to me. You can't live off of that, honey. I've
-
been in the wilderness for two years. I ain't hurt
-
a minute ago.
-
Now.
-
When God said I haven't forgotten about you, that's the word.
-
I had to wait those mini yet to hear that.
-
Jesus, I'm not looking for prophets to speak to me.
-
I sit in their service and they and God just
-
USh as a word and talk. I don't be looking
-
for him.
-
You know, I don't have to look for him.
-
Because there are minor prophets in the Bible that all
-
I gotta do is hear the word and mess. But
-
the Spirit mess where I am, and he can minister
-
to me. I ain't looking for no profit for what man,
-
Jesus is the Prophetjah? How can the spirit of truth
-
speak to you when you will not allow the words
-
of truth to be imparted to you. You got defenses up.
-
You don't even want God to speak to you about
-
that area. Oh, you can speak to me this and
-
this and that, and then some of us we try
-
to be defensive and then we try to, you know,
-
act like it's not there when it really is. Well,
-
I forgave everybody, did you know? And God said, did
-
you know? Did you forgive me?
-
It's not my problem, it's their problem. Really, it's their problem. Huh.
-
Why can't you minister to the one that has the problem.
-
Why is it when they step in the room you
-
get irritated? Oh I'm sorry. Yeah, you know the word
-
would deal with you about the irritation. But see, what
-
do we do.
-
We put safeguards up, We put safeguards where we don't
-
want God to meddle.
-
And that's why you're not full. That's why you're not full.
-
Why do you think I can operate in a level
-
of grace with people that don't deserve it because I
-
didn't deserve it.
-
And you know how I knew? I didn't deserve.
-
It because I read his word, and his words said,
-
forgive them, for they know not what they do.
-
Do you think he was just talking about the people
-
of the day, No, he was talking about me.
-
You ain't gonna mama too, because we were all in
-
shit and shafting of it. I'm sorry we were sittingful
-
until Jesus came and said, I'm gonna show you an
-
excellent way. Well, you wouldn't know about.
-
Excellent way had you not got than that man. You will.
-
Some of you don't even know how to serve a
-
man of God, or I'm gonna go there. The Bible
-
tells you how to serve the man of God. The
-
Bible tells you about relationships. It tells you how to
-
be a good friend. No greater love than a man
-
he would lay down his life for a friend. You
-
don't even understand what laying down is, honey, because some
-
of you are too busy laying down with fleas instead
-
of friends. Some of you are selling for scraps of a.
-
Man and not the man that God has ordag for you. Honey.
-
I'm not settling for less because my Bible says that
-
the wife has to submit to their husband, as the
-
wife is a.
-
Reprementation of the church. And if my church is out
-
of order, I know the wife that I pick up,
-
it's gonna be out of order. The church starts with me.
-
See, I wouldn't see you wouldn't know that because the
-
man Will told you it's right.
-
That's why I am settling. You're going on forty two
-
years old in two weeks.
-
That's right, But I still ain't Settling't come out because the.
-
Man you will said so. The manual said, I will
-
be the head, and not to tell the enemy ain't
-
coming in my house. You know whatever I want to do.
-
Come on, talk behind you. Well, how do you know
-
that customer man said so God, and you gotta.
-
Believe the manual. You didn't get some of you didn't
-
get your licenses until you believe the word and acted
-
upon it. You had to go to the driving school
-
and act upon the word. Honey, Yes, I know what
-
the manual says.
-
I know what the manual look says. To look for
-
for a false prophet.
-
If Christ is not in them, if he's not testifying in.
-
Them, how can he testify to you?
-
And he's not talking about how well he prophesies but
-
it's about the fruit the God.
-
Because you can have a bunch of prophecies.
-
But it ain't got no luck for the broth seen
-
it from it. But the Manuel says, so, yes, Lord,
-
how can the spirit of truth speak to you when
-
you will not allow the words of truth to be
-
imparted to you?
-
And let me tell you something about studying the words.
-
I had to develop a studying pattern.
-
It took years. When I got said I didn't know nothing.
-
Some of you are saying that you still don't know nothing.
-
I had to go get a concordance. If some of
-
you don't know what a concordance is, it's kind of
-
like a reference Bible, Greek and Hebrew, you know, when
-
you want to really get.
-
Deep, I had to go get a study dictionary.
-
He listen, and I had to go find a place
-
somebody gonna get a revelationship.
-
Sometimes your house say the best place to study. Yeah,
-
ain't listening. How bad do you want?
-
How bad I want to know? There's deep things like
-
the past. You know, I want to deep deep revelations.
-
You want to know the deep revelations? I can tell
-
you where I got them. I got them in the
-
park I wasn't home, Honey, I got enough sense to
-
know that when I get in my bed, I'm going
-
to sleep. That's why when I study, I'm not in
-
the pull out bed. I'm sitting on the couch. I'm
-
at the living room table. Because I got enough sense.
-
I'm gonna let my dad grim and go. Oh please,
-
you you think you'll slip. You?
-
You you've mastered the ability to be able to get
-
in your bed and not think that them eye lids
-
ain't gonna shot as soon as you're getting them fluffy pillows. No, honey,
-
you gotta discipline yourself. I tell you what, I'll tell
-
you what. Some circumstances have you do. We're gonna talk
-
about that anyway. Sometimes stuff will push you in places
-
that are uncomfortable. True, say you know what, I'm gonna
-
get up. I'm sorry, I'm going to the library. See
-
you don't want that? Oh well, I'm so comfortable here.
-
Ain't then? No, you don't know who you're gonna meet
-
at the library. Right, you're right, I'm gonna go get
-
one of those study rooms.
-
I'm trying to help somebody. Right, library got study rooms.
-
Ain't nobody gonna distract you? Turning your phone off. I
-
don't care if you're praying in the library, Honey, they
-
ain't gotta see you, howney.
-
Many times I've gone to the study room with my basement.
-
I said, I'm gonna get the hell away from these
-
people and family members up. Since I'm getting away from them,
-
I gotta get with God. You're right, money, Please, you
-
don't care when you hungry and you need something to eat,
-
you get your.
-
Fat killing that refrigerator.
-
You open it up and say, I don't care who looking.
-
I'm about to hear something eat, honey. Why we can't
-
be like that with the word of God. Jesus, Jesus,
-
you're talking right.
-
All these parks in this area, honey. Let me tell
-
you something.
-
I went to Martin Park, Quick Martin Park, right down
-
the street, hunting, and I got trails, and I began
-
to pray and thank God for his goodness.
-
I began to pray, beginning to pray, and that word.
-
Began to that word, that word began began to resonate.
-
In my spirit, honey. And by the time I knew
-
that was worshiping God.
-
Honey, they got the board walks over there, Honey, I'm
-
trying to get somebody in revelations.
-
Got the board walks over there, honey.
-
In the in the in the woods where nobody go undersercing,
-
and you begin, And I began to pray like I
-
lost my mind? Why was I able to pray? Because
-
I lost mine? Because I was in a different environment.
-
Because the manual said, see y'all, come on, then come on.
-
When Jesus was alone, he went into the mountain to pray.
-
If he went into the garden to pray, he didn't
-
pray at his house. He said, I had to get
-
into a different environment because a different environment might give
-
me a different result.
-
Somebody better catch that revelation.
-
And I went up in the mortain park and I'd
-
be to pray, and it was like something something about
-
being outside ain't no limits. I'm not kid didn't like
-
tuna fish. And then God began to speak Psalm chapter
-
twenty five. Honey, I heard it so clear, sing the.
-
Word will lead the word will lead you to uncomfortable things.
-
That's still the spirit of truth. Because God said, I
-
don't want to talk to you here.
-
I don't want to talk to you in your routine.
-
I want to get your house. Spirit got of moves.
-
I've read the word in the library, I've read the words.
-
In my college cafeteria. I've read the word in the car.
-
Come on, now, you ain't got no excuses if he's
-
that important to you, if the Spirit truth really told you.
-
Because the Spirit of truth gonna tell you, that's a command.
-
That means you're not listening to commands.
-
You don't know.
-
You may have to pick the profits somewhere. Oops, all right, Jesus,
-
because I'm gonna say a word to somebody. I thought
-
the Amanda was supposed to tell me where to go.
-
Oops. Trying to get you on the lave of the
-
evangels stirs it up. H alright, let me go over here.
-
Everyone is used.
-
To verbal prophecy, words and knowledge, but no one wants
-
to eat the truth of in partation. You don't want
-
individual accountability, you want suppress the Lord.
-
The Lord told me that in seven days you're gonna
-
get abundance.
-
Now you're listen to that word, that's easy.
-
But when the scripture says abstained from the flesh, Oh no, well,
-
it's kind of hard for me to be able to
-
do that.
-
Oh, it wasn't hard for you. When he verbally prof
-
I mean prophesied for you. See, because there's no accountability there.
-
I can hear it and say, well, bless it be
-
the name of the Lord. I see you next Sunday,
-
says God. Bless I heard the word. You didn't hear
-
nothing because your spirit man and your soul didn't bear
-
witness with the.
-
Correction of getting you to that place. Oh, we don't
-
want that. Some of us are so used to driving
-
our own man.
-
Well, we can't own Let me get over here.
-
What is true for one may not be true for you.
-
I'm gonna help somebody. You can connect to people in
-
the body you've been saying when two or three are
-
gathering in the name, he's there in the midst there's
-
unity when we connect. Yes, but you ain't me, and
-
you aren't e spiritiating mine. You came in and talk ucking.
-
We sounded like me, sing like me, and act like me.
-
Because when the consecration comes, I know you ain't me.
-
Um hum. You gotta get some of you need to
-
get your own identity in the spirit.
-
Jesus. Well, I know when my sisters speaks in tongues,
-
I'm gonna speak in tongues too.
-
When she lays before the Lord. I'm gonna lay before
-
the little he. He ain't told you the lay before him.
-
He didn't tell you the lay before him.
-
Because you are with the status quot you do what
-
everybody else does.
-
Where's your own beach?
-
The foot is moving to the left, the arm is
-
moving to the right. Why are you going to the
-
right with the leg? We ain't trying to go in
-
that direction. Maybe God wants stop ushering something different with you.
-
Yes, Oh, the ac is gonna end, my Lord, come
-
by yea, my Lord, coon by yah.
-
You got tired of that. It is truth based.
-
In the time of our own operation and where the
-
individual is in God.
-
What I say is truth for you. You may not be
-
able to receive it. There came a time there was
-
a time in April's life.
-
Well, I could say something in the world, she could
-
not receive it because she.
-
Was wearing Darley.
-
If I was woo, Yes I was, I'd have called
-
him that, Yes I would. There was a time in
-
my other sister's life where I said Jesus said coming back,
-
and she said I thought he was nuts. Yeah, I said,
-
we reading the same word. How is it that she
-
can't receive this because when the spirit of truth takes
-
you through an experience. Let me tell you something, every.
-
Word you get, you gonna test in outs.
-
Yeah, that's why every Sunday I got something fresh up here.
-
Because he can take a test. His word ain't gonna
-
come back void because I'm in the test subject.
-
That's why somebody you don't want to get in the word,
-
because you're gonna have to test it out. When he
-
said fast for twenty one days, No, you don't want
-
to know.
-
Oh will Moses had to do that? Oh no, money.
-
And after Moses had sat on the mountain and God.
-
In worship with God, he brought down the word see
-
that and it sat on him.
-
Oh hallelu you.
-
That was so powerful with a man of God said
-
it was so powerful.
-
You said you had a powerful word, pastor man of God.
-
Oh no, but honey, you see to this I'm throwing out.
-
You're gonna have to test.
-
It, honey, because if I give you.
-
A word and you sitting here and consuming and eat
-
it and never testing, you gonna die.
-
That word gonna come death to you. And that's why
-
we sat in so.
-
Many churches, especially one in particular, and I'm not where
-
they would get all that word, but everybody'd be dying
-
because they're not testing it.
-
That's right, Man of God, to be sitting there preaching it.
-
His eyeballs out. Next Sunday, they's sitting there. I said, God,
-
why are these people are still sitting here? Because they're
-
not taking the word and applying it and living it
-
and testing it out and coming back and saying I've
-
tested it out, I've experienced it. Now I can go
-
to another level. He can give me another level of understanding.
-
God ain't gonna give you no understanding. If you ain't
-
tested out what he gave you, why should he give
-
you more when you ain't did nothing.
-
With the less?
-
Right? Yeah, you think that a baby only drinks milk?
-
After a while, they want to meet because wat says,
-
because the system.
-
I'm gonna give you a revelation. Why says, because your
-
system you have nourishment.
-
Do you notice the nourishment stays the same, but the
-
body continues to grow and the anatomy begins to change. Therefore,
-
after a while, a baby can't contain to only sustain milk.
-
It will not survive. It needs meat, it needs protein.
-
And some of you are.
-
Trying to live a revelatory life with a bottle of milk,
-
and are passing that off as God giving you meat
-
when you're still living in milk and trying to operate
-
in gifting that requires you to have meat. Okay, I
-
don't understand why I can't see God clearly because you're
-
still drinking milk. Well, it takes too long. I can't
-
understand the word. I can't understand what it means. You
-
know why you can't understand what it means because your
-
mind is in one direction and the spirits in the other.
-
I'm trying to wait for this to get done because I.
-
Gotta hurry up and get my launchy, Honey, tell your
-
line to shut up.
-
It can wait two days.
-
Your dirty drawls ain't gonna get no more dirtier in
-
your hamper when you want to hear a word from
-
the Lord, you don't care.
-
Well, how do you know that? Because I lived it, Honey.
-
I sat in that basement as moldy as it was,
-
the very basement that I had.
-
To clean a couple of weeks ago.
-
I had to sit there in that moldy, rain filled
-
basement that was sometimes humidity over humiditated with the windows
-
closed and no breeze coming in yet I'm sitting there
-
two o'clock in the morning reading the work because I
-
want to know him. We gotta look at the drinks.
-
They're so pretty well. If I do that won't get done. Honey,
-
you ain't gonna know the work you gotta do if
-
you don't. For sake, see there's a manual again. I
-
had to forsake all of this. See, let me tell
-
you something.
-
I know exactly where I'm.
-
At because He's told me that i'd be here. In
-
a previous time. A man of God prophesied to me
-
and set a season would come in your life where
-
he would be dealing with you alone. But he's gonna
-
pour out his revelation and you're gonna come into maturity.
-
I know where I'm at. You think the outer don't
-
give you a revelation where you are in the manual.
-
But see some of you are missing your time because
-
you ain't gotten in the manual. And now the season's coming,
-
and now we don't know what to do.
-
Well, I'm just gonna go with the motion. No, the
-
motion is temporal.
-
It is truth based in time of our own operation.
-
And where the individual is in God.
-
Why is it not true for one and not for
-
someone else? Because God has fashioned each of us to
-
carry what is truly been mapped out for our own design.
-
What is truthful for me may not be truthful for
-
you because you may not want to carry Now.
-
You can carry me. You can smell like me, talk likely,
-
look like me, have the same experience, the same story
-
as me. But when it's time for me to consecrate,
-
oh Ima have to back up from there. Here you
-
emulate your pastor. But when it comes time from the consecration,
-
when you gotta give them up a couple of meals.
-
Oh I'm not.
-
Doing that, honey now, because I gotta take my pills
-
and my medicine.
-
And I know him. I Oh no, no, no, you you
-
gonna be like Christ, be like him all the way,
-
eat no meals for ten days. See, you can't talk
-
about that truth because you ain't been there.
-
But see, people in the milk, they can do cam.
-
They could talk casual things.
-
But when God starts dealing with you with the death process,
-
they get newt's. I can't help you there. I can't
-
help you there.
-
You know why, because you only want the crumbs from
-
the rich men say, I'm sorry, Ron sermon that was.
-
You only want the crumbs. Some of you in this
-
room listening to me right now, you are.
-
Not gonna come into the experience until you let go
-
of that flesh, until you let go off the things
-
that have already died. And it's some people you need
-
to let go up to.
-
Jesus.
-
He each has a road map for each of us.
-
I cannot follow April's road map. She can't follow mine
-
because her body may not be designed to take what
-
I have to endure mentally. Since it's said on the
-
phone the other if I lost my car and I
-
lost my job, I would be losing my mind and
-
I'd be pulling my hair out.
-
Of course you would be. Because God knows the god
-
you worship. That's why you ain't getting no results in
-
their hearing from him.
-
He knows what you can't take now those are easy things.
-
He knows your God is temporary, so he gotta deal
-
with you in that place of temporary until.
-
You realize what temporary is and what it's not.
-
See if you were in the Manual, you wouldn't know
-
that when something gets taken.
-
Yes, did in the Bible talk about I won't.
-
Restore, but I know why my stuff got taken, because
-
I want to.
-
Know a love of faith.
-
Well, if you would have paid the bill on time,
-
you would have still had that car and you would
-
have been able to get how many let me?
-
People are so dumb. But see, I know the manual.
-
Everything is going according to the manual that God has
-
spoken in his word to me. And that's why they
-
look at you like you're crazy. Because I wouldn't be
-
sitting up in somebody's house all the time. I would
-
have got my own apartment.
-
You think I didn't try.
-
You think I didn't try to get an apartment. Let
-
me help you with my faith. I tried several times
-
to get an apartment right at this very complex. And
-
you know what God said, You're gonna have to tell them.
-
You decline I got something better for you, But he
-
said the time when that was gonna no, he didn't.
-
And I can tell you something.
-
I'm having too much fun in faith to be worried
-
about a temporary house. He said, I want to build
-
a house in you.
-
You think God giving you a house it's some great thing.
-
You think it's something difficult. Let's go to test number.
-
Three, the test of tough circumstances.
-
Oh God, here we go. Here's where the failure comes.
-
I mutilated them with the spirit of truth.
-
But circumstances go with that. I'm gonna tell you something
-
right now. Things are about to get tougher, especially after
-
the month of August. But as I mentioned about the
-
word of circumstances, the main word in it is circum Now,
-
I'm gonna do a little teaching here.
-
I know about circumstances.
-
I think I'm the tester of all of them.
-
Meeting in a circle.
-
Stances mean the way you stand in circumstances. It is
-
meant to teach us how to stand in them.
-
All.
-
We are not designed to keep going through the same
-
circumstance and not come out without learning how to stand.
-
That's what circumstances are for. You learn to stand by
-
going back to the manual. Oh and that's why y'all
-
failed the circumstances.
-
You see one problem. I gotta try to fix it. Lord,
-
let me see, I don't have any money on me.
-
You know how much my flesh went through this week.
-
Man of God, don't like not having no money. I
-
have been a provider since I was thirteen years old
-
when I got my first farm job.
-
Grandmother said, you need a job.
-
I said, what's that? He said, you need to learn
-
to make income. Thirteen years old, I was at a
-
farm weeding all of the fields manually.
-
They didn't have any machines.
-
Weed individual plants, and then I had to pick the crop.
-
I did that up until I was sixteen years of age.
-
I said at sixteen, I want a retail job.
-
Sixteen years of age, I got a retail job that
-
kame her.
-
Did that for a year. After that, I got tired
-
of that and I said I want something else. I
-
went from retail to going to distribution work.
-
I've been working since I was thirteen. I'm not a
-
lazy person. I'm the type of person I don't like
-
to live off people.
-
Oh, I know some of you do. You don't care.
-
Well, you've been living with this day. But you ain't
-
have to pay nothing. Oh you know, honey, let me
-
tell you something. And sometimes I feel bad about that.
-
She keeps saying, well, I'm you know, I'm just doing
-
what I hear the Lord say do. But I said, listen,
-
when I do have something, I do give it to
-
her when she needs a ride.
-
I take her somewhere when she needs a grocery item.
-
I did it for her.
-
But I don't like living nowhere for free because people
-
gotta pay bills.
-
Oh oh, all the users? Are you listening to all
-
the users? Y'all on here? I don't like living nowhere
-
for free. I want to pay my due. But see,
-
all of this is.
-
A circumstance, me losing my car, my job. He created
-
a circumstance because he wants to teach you how to stand. Yes,
-
if God is the one that created the circumstance.
-
And we're panicking, that tells you in.
-
The manual where you are you don't trust him the circumstances.
-
I'm your control. Now, some of us got control of
-
our circumstances. You know, if you overeat, you're gonna get fat.
-
Now we want to Oh Lord God, I had no control. Yes,
-
you did, you over eighth. But something that's out of
-
your norm, something out of your reach, something that you
-
didn't plan, happens.
-
That is a circumstance.
-
Well, you just keep getting a bunch of circumstances, but
-
you ain't getting no blessing. Oh yes, I am, I
-
am very blessed. Look at my faith walk. I know
-
y'all laughing, I'm laughing hysterically, but you don't know where
-
your next time is gonna come. Sounds like faith to me,
-
doesn't It sounds like a circumstance of faith. Yes, I
-
know that God is stretching my faith, and He's stretching
-
my faith to do things I've never done before.
-
That's faith. If every time you woke up in the
-
morning and you had a million dollars your bank account.
-
Trying to help somebody, and you knew when you woke
-
up Monday morning your job was gonna be there.
-
What a sign on bonus in your car? You had
-
a brand of fancy new.
-
Mercies that God blessed you with, and you knew it
-
was paid for.
-
All your bills were paid. Why would I need faith,
-
y'all not hearing me? Why would I need faith?
-
If everything's taken care of, even my health is taken
-
care of.
-
God sets up, I said.
-
Notice what I said, God sets up even the mistakes
-
you make. You think God didn't know you were going
-
to make that mistake on that bill and use the
-
money when you know you were supposed to pay off
-
your rent, you used it for your hair appointment.
-
Okay, y'all, get out of y'all ain't real well. I
-
gotta ripet it and pay pal.
-
Some of us we've had to deal with whether we're
-
gonna pay our rent or eat. Y'all better come on night,
-
go ahead. Yeah, I found a couple of quarters underneath
-
my bed. I was searching under my mattress because I
-
was trying to get.
-
A cup of sugar. Oh, get out of here. You
-
know you in a circumstance, Jesus.
-
In circumstances, it's meant to teach us how to stand.
-
We are not designed to keep going through it.
-
Some of us don't develop patience discipline without our circumstance
-
to show us how to stand in these places.
-
While being in a place that.
-
Seems like it is circum and never going to end,
-
I said, scenes, God is the one that created the circle.
-
God is the one that created the circumstance.
-
He used your fullish spending. Oh, y'all, one I'm at
-
the other day, I said, Lord, I'm in all this dead.
-
Lord, Now you're telling me my car is waiting on
-
a lot and I can't even get a loan. He said,
-
get your hand out of the loan. Process, and get
-
your mind on the one that can loan you the loan.
-
But the Bible says you will not be a borrower,
-
but she will be a lender. See, your mind is
-
in the wrong place. Get off of dollars and cents and.
-
Get in faith.
-
Get in faith that when you take care of my business,
-
I will take care.
-
Of your business. This but see the cardinal.
-
Goes after the process instead of getting what is needed
-
in the process. You didn't learn discipline until your life's
-
got cut off. You didn't learn how to budget money
-
until the foreclosure.
-
No, his came, oh come on you, hm, you got
-
a prayer life quick. When they were getting.
-
Ready to take that TV, I can't miss myself. Lord,
-
she's bothering the name of Jesus.
-
When they took my car, I was gladly happy to
-
give it to him.
-
I got tired of paying all this money every week.
-
I got tired of running back and forth. Yes I
-
had income, Yes I paid my bills.
-
Yes, but I was.
-
Robbing Peter to pay Paul. I said, Lord, this is
-
not what you promised me.
-
This is not what you said.
-
You said that as by soul prosperous in the Lord,
-
he said, Oh, no, over, Now you go ahead, know
-
what the.
-
Man will say. What the man of the man said,
-
What as you're so prosperous where in the Lord? He said,
-
But it's your soul in the Lord? Is your soul
-
sold out to me? In the Lord?
-
Have you laid down everything even circumstances. You don't know
-
how much I was trying to hold on this week.
-
Honey started getting depressed. God said, let it go, even depressing,
-
because you ain't got.
-
An answer to this.
-
I'm the only one that has an answer, because I'm
-
the one that caused it.
-
Oh Lord, you're in the midst of nothing pulling you.
-
You're in the midst of no one calling you, no
-
one telling you to go anywhere, nobody pulling for your attention.
-
I've caused a dead space in your life to happen,
-
and I can tell you something. When God began to
-
speak to me, I said, Lord, you know what I
-
want your validation?
-
He said, well, you know what you.
-
Gotta do the thing that I've been trying to run from,
-
and that is death, putting this flesh under subjection, taking
-
away the.
-
Life source of this flesh.
-
Not so I can get a car, but so I
-
may understand the will that's happening in my life, and
-
going in the places that God wants many going, and
-
being about his business. But notice I didn't say, God,
-
take away my circumstance, because I have enough wisdom to
-
know that the circumstance is gonna give.
-
Me a revelation. MM. I got up the other day.
-
And I went over to Cheryl Boseman's house. They live
-
in the same Conflicts by the way, and I got
-
on the phone with my sister. We had a We
-
were on the phone for two and a half hours.
-
I had planned to go to the library.
-
MM.
-
Now I don't never go to the library. Now, you know,
-
when I'm riding in that car, I'm in and out.
-
But I guess now I had time to go to
-
the library. Said i'm'a pick up a couple of books.
-
Now you know I still ain't read the books, right
-
cause it wasn't about the books, that's right. I get
-
on the bus at about four forty one. Now I
-
had planned to go in the morning.
-
MM.
-
When we had that conversation, we had to do a
-
little work. Jesus, it's God. I felt compelled. I said, Cherl,
-
let's get on this bus four forty one. I get
-
on there and I see this man next to me.
-
I'm looking at this hat.
-
I'm like, God, are you trying to be serious? Now?
-
You want to.
-
Confirm your worth? As it said God, line man Aura order,
-
and it said in a shirt, you are sitting next
-
to the greatest person. And God began to speak to me.
-
He said, there is my shine. I'm putting things in
-
your life in order. That's why I had to stop
-
the clock. And you yield him to the clock because.
-
Something came out of your mouth that said, I desire
-
to serve you.
-
Because this ain't working. I'm not talking about another job.
-
I'm not talking about I said this circumstance that I'm in,
-
it ain't working towards me getting closer with you. And
-
he said, okay, I'll help you out.
-
Saw this man on the bus. I went to high
-
school and have never talked to him. Really that much.
-
Watched this.
-
Watch the confirmation of the word see got to confirm
-
say what you want, Yes he will, he said, Johnathan,
-
Oh my god, it's so good to see.
-
I said, who the hell is this the one that
-
never talked to me? I know that this is God.
-
What did you say, who are you.
-
Aren't you the popular one that didn't talk to me
-
in high school? But he knew my sister, my brother,
-
but he never talked to me. And that's I'm like,
-
you know that this is God? He said, I know
-
this is God. She witnesses.
-
She was right there. She said, let me let me
-
get your phone number. I know this is God because
-
I was not planning on it on the bus. Yeah
-
mm hmm. But he said something very key.
-
He said, I love this. I love it when I'm
-
in the presence of God.
-
Bam. God says, you're in the right place. You're going
-
in the right direction.
-
God places things in your circumstance.
-
Because as things are swirling around and confusion and it
-
seems like.
-
You're about to go under, God will send something that
