Bless his holy name, Amen. It's what the song that they
-
were singing or playing was. I come to praise him, come to
-
lift him up and bless his holy name, Amen.
-
Today, so thankful, so thankful that yesterday God's hand of
-
protection was upon everybody, Amen.
-
In the fire there in the high rise, and those firefighters of
-
our own assembly that God's hand was upon them, Amen.
-
And all the emergency workers and fire department and Police
-
Department and so on and so forth.
-
So thankful. Thank you for our community and
-
the network of people that come together.
-
There are Emergency Management people here.
-
They're people from the senior citizens that came and brought
-
stuff in the hospital, provided blankets, and just a whole
-
collaboration effort, Amen, of people here within our
-
community. And we're thankful today for
-
that. Amen.
-
Amen. Thankful today and we're glad to
-
have then Aaron Brown see he's able to be asked his his week
-
off then became or his time off became early morning yesterday.
-
And brother Tyler was supposed to have a four day weekend this
-
weekend of not working. And he asked him if he got up as
-
early today as he did yesterday, and he said no, but they were
-
working diligently, Amen. Coming across the parking lot
-
the other day was Brother Tyler, someone, I don't remember, it
-
might have been my wife or someone said, is that, is that
-
Tyler walking this way? I said, that's him.
-
There's only one person that has that type of gate right there,
-
that that's Tyler, that's Tyler Cruz, Amen.
-
So we're glad that God's hand of protection, Amen.
-
This morning we're going to be turning to the New Testament
-
Scripture of second Peter chapter #1 Second Peter chapter
-
#1 Amen. And we're going to read a few
-
verses of Scripture, verses 3:00 and 4:00 today in the House of
-
the Lord. Thankful for each of you that
-
are here. There were about 50 residents
-
here from the high rise in this building yesterday, sitting
-
where you're sitting and in the back and just a little bit of
-
everywhere, Amen. And so you consecrated that
-
place before they ever got here, Amen, By sitting there, Amen.
-
And we're thankful today for you second Peter chapter #1 and
-
verse #3 and four. I love these couple verses of
-
Scripture. Some time ago now, we did a
-
series on 1st and second Peter, and there are just some series
-
you do that. There's just certain verses of
-
Scripture that stay with you as a result of having done that.
-
And so these are a couple verses that just kind of stay in my
-
heart, my mind. But when a minister today second
-
Peter one the Bible says in verse 3, according as his divine
-
power, can everybody say that divine power hath given unto us
-
all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the
-
knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue,
-
whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious
-
promises, that by these you might be partakers of the divine
-
nature? Can you say the divine nature,
-
the divine nature, haven't escaped the corruption that is
-
in the world through lust? And so by His divine power,
-
we've been made partakers of his divine nature for a little
-
while. This morning I want to talk to
-
you about this. The day heaven bled into me.
-
The day heaven bled into me. Hallelujah.
-
Can we go to the Lord right now, one more time, Ask for his help
-
in the next little while. Father, I love you today.
-
I thank you, Lord, for your goodness.
-
I thank you, Lord Jesus, for your hand that's been with us
-
this weekend. I pray, O Lord, that you're
-
able, God, to pull in our minds right now.
-
God to your word. Help us, Lord, to learn of you,
-
God. I pray Jesus today, God, that
-
you're able to encourage and uplift and direct and give
-
guidance, Lord, for our individual lives.
-
God, those are the words of life.
-
God, that's within this book. Lord, let them be that Lord to
-
each one of us individually and the lovely name of the Lord
-
Jesus Christ that I pray Hallelujah, Amen of the church
-
say Amen, Amen. You may be seated this morning
-
in Jesus name. I was listening this week to
-
some programming. There's a fictional programming,
-
but nonetheless something that was said in that piqued my
-
interest. I was, I was listening to where
-
there were some detectives that were doing an investigation of
-
a, a murder scene and they found some blood that was at the
-
murder scene that did not belong to the victim.
-
And they were presuming that that blood was probably the
-
blood of the murderer or the possible suspect.
-
So they had a list of possible suspects that they were going to
-
gather together and they were going to ask each of them if
-
they would provide some DNA by swabbing the inside of their
-
mouth in order to provide their DNA.
-
And so while the detectives were quite sure that their murderer
-
was in that room of suspects, there was none that was among
-
them that refused to give their DNA for cooperation.
-
And so the DNA tests on the blood at the crime scene came
-
back and it did not match any of the suspects that they had had
-
in the room. And so the Long story short on
-
it was this is that one of the suspects had previously suffered
-
from the disease of leukemia and as a result of that had had a
-
bone marrow transplant in of their life.
-
And it revealed something and what they said was something I
-
never knew before. And so it piqued my interest and
-
I did further research. What they said was, is that the
-
murderer had his original DNA in his skin, his hair follicles in
-
in his muscle tissue, his saliva.
-
However, because of the transplant of the bone marrow
-
transplant, his blood carried the donor's DNA, essentially
-
meaning that he had two DNA's that his body supplied, one that
-
was in his blood and one then that came from other areas of
-
his life, of his skin and so on and so forth.
-
One that said he had the DNA of his donor and one that had his
-
original DNA. So that piqued my interest
-
because you hear all kinds of things, you know, fictional
-
stuff, and you don't know if it's true or not.
-
And so I did a little bit of research and the fact of the
-
matter is it is absolutely true. Bone marrow or stem cells that's
-
transplanted into a recipient, they begin to carry the donor
-
DNA the recipient does inside their blood cells, inside their
-
body. It's a process that's called
-
chimerism. I'm not going to try to get too
-
scientific on you, but our bone marrow is the factory for all
-
the blood cells in our body. It doesn't matter if you have
-
red blood cells, white blood cells, the platelets, your bone
-
marrow manufacture, all of those things in your body.
-
And they say that a successful bone marrow transplant replaces
-
the recipients Morrow with the donor stem cells.
-
And so as the donor stem cells begin to engraft there in that
-
bone, the new blood cells, blood white and red, and platelets
-
that are produced will carry the donor's DNA.
-
Hey, man, while the recipient's DNA is still found in its hair
-
and still found in its tissue and still found in all those
-
other things, but in its blood, in its blood, it is the DNA of
-
its donor. Just imagine for a little while
-
this morning, and this is total, just fixing them.
-
But imagine for a moment, imagine a young woman, if you
-
will. We'll just call her Emily for
-
our purposes. Just imagine that she's in her
-
early 20s, she's full of life. She has a lot of dreams and
-
plans and heard though blood has turned against her, her let's
-
say that she has this leukemia as well and being diagnosed with
-
leukemia, her body then is producing some cells, some blood
-
cells that's destroying her body.
-
It's going to take her from this life.
-
It's going to kill her. And her blood cells are carrying
-
a death sentence, if you will, that's written in her own DNA.
-
Every new cell that's created in her body, it's going to have the
-
same flawed code that is killing her and bringing her down.
-
No medication can can fix this disease.
-
No medication can fix this problem.
-
The doctors tell her your only hope, ma'am, is to have a bone
-
marrow transplant. We need to find a donor.
-
We need to find somebody's DNA, if I could say it like that,
-
that can replace your own DNA in your blood.
-
Her family gets tests to see if they're proper.
-
Her friends get tests. Amen.
-
Even strangers test to see if they can help her.
-
And finally, there's a stranger, a volunteer among them.
-
After weeks of search, they find somebody that can help.
-
It's a young man that she's never met.
-
She's willing. He's willing, though, for her, a
-
person who is a stranger to him. He's willing to go through the
-
pain of of a bone marrow transplant from his body to her.
-
The surgery, the recovery, all of that to save someone he don't
-
even know. And they performed the
-
transplant. And early in the weeks, her body
-
kinds of fights a little bit against the new cells.
-
But after a while, she adopts them in her body, and her blood
-
begins to change. And the doctors begin to test
-
her. And now her blood shows that it
-
no longer matches her own DNA, but it matches the DNA of her
-
donor. And from that day forward, each
-
time that they check her blood, it's not identifying her as
-
Emily, but it's identifying her as her donor.
-
The record of her blood is basically saying I belong to
-
somebody else. I know that's imaginative, but
-
there's real stories. I looked them up in the Los
-
Angeles Times. There was a lady by the name of
-
Karen Costa Blanco, 42 years old when she was diagnosed with
-
leukemia. She received the bone marrow
-
transplant from somebody from Germany and Karen's blood, her
-
blood changed from that bone marrow transplant.
-
When she was when she didn't have it, she was a positive
-
blood type. After she had it, she was AB
-
positive blood type. And her own omission was this.
-
This is what Karen, the the recipient said.
-
She said my DNA is her. Speaking of the lady from
-
Germany, she said. So on the inside, we're the
-
same. Someone say, man, that's what
-
happens in medicine. But let me tell you what happens
-
in the spirit. Every single one of us were born
-
in essence with some bad blood, blood that was diseased, blood
-
that was infected, if you will, by seeing blood, if you will,
-
through the family line from the beginning until now was carrying
-
some mutated DNA, so to speak, of Adam and Eve's fall in the
-
garden. But don't you know, this
-
morning, morning, unknown to us, but also knowing us, there was a
-
donor that walked that that via Delarosa to Calvary's Hill one
-
day. And he allowed himself to be put
-
upon a cross who said I'm going to give my life in this moment
-
so that there can be somebody else that can live.
-
And the Bible tells us, even according to the book of the New
-
Testament, that whenever God's Spirit takes up root inside of
-
us, our identity in a certain means begins to change.
-
All of the blood test of our soul and of our Spirit starts to
-
come back with a different result.
-
I'm no longer, if you will, Paul McGee, but there's a Jesus that
-
is inside of me. It, it doesn't just come back
-
the man that I am or the man that I was, but there's a new
-
identity in Christ that I take on inside of me.
-
You look at me, I got the same hair, I got the same skin, I got
-
the same lack of muscle tissue that I always had.
-
But something happened whenever Christ Spirit got inside of me.
-
There was a transplanting, if you will, of new things, Amen.
-
Taking over old things inside of my life.
-
I no longer today, as a result of being born again in the water
-
and the Spirit, I no longer today have to carry the DNA of
-
my old fallen man. I'm carrying, if you will, the
-
DNA of the one who shed blood for me, who touched me, who
-
anointed me, who filled me with His Spirit.
-
What are you saying? I'm saying what medicine does
-
for the body today the Holy Ghost can do for us.
-
So in this hour we can have a spiritual transplant, so to
-
speak. Amen.
-
A spiritual transplant. Look what the Scripture tells us
-
our text says. Here's divine power has given
-
unto us things that pertain unto life and godliness.
-
This divine power is not just something that operates upon us,
-
but it's something that can operate inside of us.
-
It's not just something that comes up on our lives, It's
-
something that can work in our lives.
-
By virtue of receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost,
-
Ephesians 316 says to be strengthened with might or power
-
by His Spirit in the inner man, the might or the power by His
-
Spirit in the inter man. Brother Reese is that Holy Ghost
-
that I received that day. I marked it on the calendar and
-
I begin to speak in other tongues as His Spirit gave the
-
utterance. It is the Spirit and the power
-
of God working inside of my inter man and the Spirit.
-
Please hear me today. The Spirit that you received is
-
sufficient. It is enough.
-
There is not have to be another search.
-
It's not a transplant that doesn't make good on what needs
-
to be corrected. It is sufficient and the Bible
-
says this is what Jesus said to Nicodemus.
-
He said that which is born after the Spirit is the Spirit and
-
that which is born of the flesh is flesh.
-
Honey, Everything that I receive in the Holy Ghost, the spiritual
-
things then that start to come about in my life, the way that I
-
talk, the way that I carry myself, my demeanor, then from
-
that point on, it all connects them back to the Spirit.
-
The Spirit will empower and give you everything you need for your
-
life. There are things that continue
-
to be born of the spirit that you have received in your life.
-
It's kind of like a seed, right? You get one of those we got
-
right now, pecans back over there.
-
We got walnuts over here. If you were to get a oak tree
-
around here and get a little oak seed, everything within the
-
might and that little seed is the mighty oak.
-
All the roots, all the branches, all the trunk, everything, the
-
bark, everything that would identify an oak tree as an oak
-
is right within that little acorn, Amen.
-
Whenever you receive the Spirit of God, all of the attributes of
-
God, the love, the joy, the peace, the meekness, the
-
goodness, Amen. All of those things are found in
-
that spirit that you received. It can produce and has
-
offspring, if you will, of all these other things that are
-
attributes and characteristics of God.
-
It'll happen in your life. It just needs an environment to
-
grow. The Bible says we are made
-
partakers of the divine nature, and the way that we have the
-
divine nature is because of the divine power that we have
-
received, the Holy Ghost. That's our experience.
-
And so by the promise of the Holy Ghost, we partake of the
-
divine nature. It provides a way.
-
It provides an escape route, the scripture says, even from
-
corruption, from destruction, from decay, from death, from all
-
those things of life. Because now we have a spirit
-
that allowed us to partake of a divine nature.
-
It can even keep us safe in the afterlife for a home, Amen.
-
That is eternal in bliss rather than eternal in agony, all
-
because we we receive the spirit of one who now has transformed
-
us on the inside to be like the divine nature of the God that we
-
desire to serve. But here's the fact of the
-
matter. Many of you know this, but let
-
me just say it again in Romans 512.
-
The problem in our situation is we got we got a bad bloodline.
-
Wherefore the Bible says as by one man sin, everybody say one
-
sin entered into the world and death by sin, and so death
-
passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
-
The Lord paints with a broad brush here brother pat it, it's
-
not exclusive. It includes all of mankind and
-
humanity that we were and impacted by the one man, Adam
-
and the family in the garden. From the very beginning, sin
-
entered the world. Do you know that whenever you
-
entered this life then through your mother's womb, you didn't
-
have to sin to be a Sinner because you were born into sin.
-
It's truth of the matter that then by sin, for the Bible says
-
that the wages of sin or the payment of sin is death.
-
And so death passed upon all men.
-
We were born into the world with a death sentence upon our life
-
as a result of the sin that we were born into.
-
And so we were all, I could say it in terms of our early
-
analogy, we were all born with some bad Mara.
-
We inherited a spiritual leukemia, if you will, from Adam
-
and from Eve. And it was a disease, though
-
that wasn't just on the outside, Amen.
-
But it's one that all went all the way to the core of our
-
being. And so the issue, the issue
-
isn't just what we do then in this life.
-
The issue is who we are because of how we've been born, because
-
of how we've come into the world.
-
And so it's not just skin deep, it's it, it's blood deep.
-
If we could say it like this, The bloodline of Adam flowed
-
through and flows through us all.
-
And as a result, I'm born then, Amen.
-
Corrupt I'm born Vienna with a a lean toward the rebellious.
-
I'm born with a death sentence on my life.
-
And so we know this this morning, we can do this.
-
We know that we can change our behavior and we know that we can
-
somehow come around and join a church and go to a church and we
-
can scrub as the New Testament Scripture.
-
Jesus spoke to the Pharisees. He said you you may clean the
-
outside of the cup. He says you can do all that.
-
You can scrub that. But if the source, if the source
-
of your life has not changed, if the source of your life has not
-
changed, you're going to just keep getting the same results,
-
Amen. You're going to just get the
-
same results. You need something to change on
-
the inside that can affect the production, Amen, of other
-
things in your life and other areas of your life.
-
And so I can dress it up, try to change my behavior, do all those
-
things, But I need a life source change.
-
I need a life source change. I need there to be a alter that
-
what's going on in Paul McGee now won't trace back to the
-
first Adam, but I need to be born again to be able to trace
-
it back to the second Adam, which is the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Hey man, because everywhere where the first Adam failed, the
-
second Adam came through. The 1st Adam couldn't live a
-
sinless life. But the second Adam, the Lord
-
Jesus Christ said he was tempted in all ways like you and I are,
-
yet without sin. He bore sin in his body.
-
And so hey, man, I need today. I need a cure, Amen, that comes
-
from heaven. I need more than just behavior
-
modification. Whoa.
-
I need a transplant from heaven today.
-
And sin can only be cured today if there is a blood, if there is
-
a inside replacement plan that happens.
-
Amen. And I thankful today, Missy,
-
that there's been a donor though found Hebrews 2 tells us.
-
And allow me, I just have it down here as a reference, but
-
I'm just going to go and read it today.
-
And you're hearing if that is all right.
-
Hebrews chapter #2 and verse #14 you guys don't have that up
-
there, but you perhaps can get it here pretty quickly.
-
Hebrews chapter #2 and verse #14 has a few verses of Scripture
-
there that I would like to share.
-
Amen, with you this morning. Verse #14 of Hebrews 2.
-
I'm trying to turn there and my pages are sticking together in
-
some places. Amen.
-
The Bible says these words. I can get there for Lehman,
-
Hebrews Hebrews 214 for as much then as the children are
-
partakers of flesh and blood. He also this is Speaking of
-
Jesus Christ. He also likewise Himself took
-
part of the same, that through death He might destroy him that
-
had the power of death, that is the devil, and delivered them
-
who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to
-
bondage, just talking about humanity.
-
For barely He took not on Him the nature of angels.
-
Speaking of Jesus, again, He didn't take on Himself.
-
Amen. The nature of angels.
-
Whenever God came down, God was manifest in the flesh, but He
-
took on him the sea of Abraham. Wherefore in all things that
-
behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might
-
be merciful and faithful High priest in all things pertaining
-
to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
-
What the writer of Hebrews is saying, in order to have a
-
donor, we had to have a donor match to us.
-
Amen. God was a spirit, nobody
-
involved, no body like literal body involved, therefore no
-
blood involved, therefore no bone involved.
-
But God says he's looking. You see it through Old Testament
-
scripture even in in the Ezekiel when the Bible says they look
-
for a man to make up the hedge, they look and they found none.
-
You see that a common a common theme throughout Old Testament
-
scripture at different times. They're looking for someone to
-
mediate. They're looking for someone to
-
stand in the gap and they're never finding a man.
-
The reason why that's pointing to, to the answer of the New
-
Testament Scripture, the only man that could satisfy all these
-
things and that was Christ Jesus.
-
God says they're looking for a man.
-
They're not finding a man. I'm going to have to become the
-
man. I'm going to have to become a
-
man. And that the Spirit of the Lord
-
overshadowed Mary. The Bible says hey man, and that
-
was born in her was of the Holy Ghost.
-
And she would tarry that child for nine months as a lady would.
-
And then Bethlehem's Manger, she would give birth to Jesus
-
Christ. Hey man, the Son of God, the Son
-
of man. Hey man who had the ability that
-
no other man in humanity had. Look what the Scripture said.
-
He said he was made lower than the angels.
-
He took upon himself the form and the nature of the seed of
-
Abraham. What's that mean?
-
He had to become our match, He had to become our donor match,
-
He had to come the acceptable match.
-
And so whenever He came down, that divine, that divine God, He
-
took on the nature of humanity, He took on the nature of
-
mankind. With this in mind, that if I ask
-
God, the Divine will take on the nature of humanity, I will then
-
in return give humanity the chance to take on the nature of
-
the divine. That's what what happens when
-
you receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
-
God came down as man so man could take on the nature of the
-
divine by being filled with the power of his Spirit.
-
And that is a transplant that revolutionizes your life.
-
So that as I walk, I don't just bear, so to speak, the DNA of
-
Paul McGee. I bear the DNA of a nature
-
different than my human nature. Oh, yes?
-
Hey, man, there's a match. That was found.
-
Calvary, the perfect donor, stepped forward.
-
His blood wasn't corrupt. His blood wasn't tainted.
-
Again, having having been tempted or tested like we are,
-
but without sin, He was, He was tested like us, but He didn't
-
sin like us. In these terms His Morrow was
-
pure. His Spirit carried no trace of
-
sin or mistake or fallacy. And it is.
-
The Bible even calls it the Holy, it's the Holy Spirit,
-
their own Calvary through the beatings that even LED up to
-
Calvary from the crown that was pierced upon his head.
-
You know what? The Lord, and this is something
-
that he was allowing, Amen. No one took the life of Jesus
-
Christ. So I want to mark that well, no
-
one ever took the life of Jesus Christ.
-
He gave his life, but in the giving of his life, he opened in
-
a, in a sense, his veins at the cross and his beatings prior to
-
the cross, He opened his veins and was offering his life, Amen.
-
The Old Testament said over and over again that the life of the
-
flesh is in the blood. As He was given forth that
-
blood, He was given forth His life.
-
And whenever we receive His Spirit, Amen, by new birth, He
-
enters into our hearts, into our lives.
-
And the awesome thing about God is this, He doesn't just improve
-
upon us, He recreates us. I think we need to get that
-
right. He's not just improving the old
-
creature, but I'm a new creature in Christ Jesus.
-
All things are passed away. Behold, all things become new.
-
He's not just improving, he's recreating.
-
He's yes, he's recreating. So I don't need, I don't need
-
today, this morning. I don't need a transfusion of
-
religion. I need a transplant of identity.
-
This is what I'm going through. This, this thing, this
-
experience I've had in my life. This just isn't some type of
-
surface platitude just for the observer that walks by.
-
Oh, look at them. No, no, no, this isn't even
-
emotional support system whenever I got the Holy Ghost.
-
No, it's an inward correction. All because a donor said I'll go
-
through the pain. I'll go through whatever is
-
necessary in order to help save a life.
-
The Bible says in John 3 and verse #5 except a man, Jesus
-
speaking to Nicodemus, except a man be born of water and of the
-
Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.
-
Let me tell you what you've been through.
-
If you've been through Amen, receiving the gift of the Holy
-
Ghost. Your repentance is a clearing
-
out of the old system. To use the analogy, they got to
-
get the old bone marrow out of the recipient and replace it
-
with the bone marrow of their donor.
-
Repentance clears the old system, the disease, the Morrow,
-
if you will, that's in your life, it must be destroyed.
-
Your baptism in Jesus name washes any and all residue of
-
that away. It cleanses the bloodstream.
-
And whenever you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, new
-
life, new identity is implanted inside of you.
-
That folks is what the scripture calls regeneration, which is an
-
awesome thing Ray, because within the word regeneration is
-
the word gene. It's a re gening.
-
A re gening. I've received another genetic
-
code from heaven. He's begin to write across my
-
life, my bloodline, my bloodline, Amen.
-
Now doesn't end with Adam. No, no, it begins with Christ
-
Jesus. Now here's the thing ladies and
-
gentlemen, in medicine, doctors run tests after a donors A
-
recipient has had a transplant to see how the DNA is happening
-
in the blood, how things are going.
-
And over periods of time they can have this mixed chimmerism,
-
which means they can get from the bloodstream both the old
-
that the individuals original DNA and the DNA of their donor.
-
Because sometimes the body fights for the space of who's
-
going to have who's going to have dominance there.
-
Whenever you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, that's not
-
that's not our our journey over. That's our journey beginning.
-
And when we do, sister Ray the apostle polling spoke, I believe
-
it is in Romans 7. He talks about a warring going
-
on in his members. Huh.
-
The things that I would do, I do not.
-
The things that I should do that I don't do.
-
There's a warning in the members, right, because there's
-
a new identity that's trying to take control, but there's an old
-
identity that's not wanting to give up.
-
That happens. Sister Brittany, there is not a
-
single person that's ever received the Holy Ghost that not
-
have had that happen to some degree of a warring and still
-
have it happen warring that takes place within the members,
-
Amen. And so as they do this, they'll
-
they'll take samples of the blood, Amen.
-
And they know that the transplant has totally
-
succeeded. Whenever the donors DNA within
-
the bloodline begins to be dominant, Amen, over the old
-
DNA. They say about two to four weeks
-
in whenever engraftment and that's the words they use, not
-
mine. Whenever engraftment is taking
-
place, that's taking place in their bones and their bone
-
marrow, and then about a one to three, three months in both the
-
recipient and the donor DNA can be found in the blood.
-
And so they're going to do this little chimerism analysis to try
-
to find out what percentage of the blood is the original, what
-
percentage of the blood is the donor.
-
And so whenever a a successful transplant takes place, the the,
-
the results are this that the the DNA of the donor is
-
increasing while the DNA of the original is decreasing.
-
But you can't make this stuff up.
-
This is a good picture spiritually.
-
What happens whenever you start and have a walk with God?
-
He meant there is that wrestling of identities within you.
-
But as time goes on, we should be able to find starting to find
-
an increase of your new identity, increase of your new
-
identity, while there's becoming a lesser, if you will, a lesser
-
presence of your old identity. Why?
-
What happens? You'll find out that your words
-
begin to change, your desires begin to shift.
-
You're just things that used to grab your attention and
-
interest. You don't interest you anymore.
-
And other things began to interest you.
-
And so the results are coming back week after week and they're
-
starting to see, oh, I see something here.
-
There's more more of him and now less of them.
-
There's, there's coming a little, there's a, there's a
-
little turn going on here. It's a little more of him.
-
Did not John the Baptist even say with the ministry of Jesus
-
Christ on the earth, he said he must increase and I must
-
decrease. I can't imagine.
-
Maybe he's talking about a little chimmerism going on.
-
There's something going on. There's identity.
-
I know there's a war, but we're going to more of him less than
-
me. They say at about 3:00 to six
-
months or even a year that nearly all the blood cells of
-
the of the original individual has been changed over to that of
-
the donor. So that when they do blood
-
tests, at that point, all they're going to get in the
-
blood is whoever their donor was.
-
And I want there to be some spot along in my life that if he's
-
going to test Paul McGee, that they're going to say rather
-
short. I want them to be able to see,
-
not me. I want them to say there's Jesus
-
there. I see it in their actions.
-
I see it in the way that they handle people when there's
-
catastrophe. I see how it is when they talk.
-
I see it how it is as they relate.
-
I see it in their attitude under pressure.
-
What's going on. There's something that's
-
becoming more that I see Jesus in the earth.
-
Yeah, I'm still Paul McGee, but there's some.
-
There's been a a recreation. There's been a transplant.
-
Paul said in Galatians 220 said I'm crucified with Christ, he
-
said. But it's no longer I, he said.
-
It's no longer I who live, he said.
-
But Christ liveth in me. He says.
-
I'm Paul, he said. But there's something come,
-
there's something happened in me.
-
I'm Paul. Absolutely.
-
I got the same looks, if you will, as far as facial
-
appearance and all that. That's me.
-
But Christ is living. If I'd say Paul was saying, you
-
know what, the blood test has come back, they said I'm Christ
-
positive, not AB, not O, He said I'm Christ positive.
-
It's there's been a successful transplant.
-
The doctors call that full donor chimmerism when there's no more
-
trace of the Odna left, just the trace Amen of the donor inside
-
the body. Folks, that's what Scripture
-
calls sanctification. That's when we've been totally
-
set apart unto him that that's what we call him, the scripture.
-
Walking in the spirit, right. You're not just walking by,
-
you're walking in the spirit that whenever my thoughts that
-
Amen has become here, I've adopted his thoughts.
-
I've I've adopted his outlook, His compassion has become my
-
compassion, His Holiness has become my hunger until all
-
that's left is Him. Honey, I want to get to a place
-
in this world that I live, that all that is left of Paul is the
-
Lord. All that's left of Paul is
-
Jesus. You can call me a Jesus freak.
-
You can call me a holy roller. You can call me one of his.
-
But just don't call me who I once was.
-
I want to be identified as his and his alone.
-
Call me Sabredeemed owned by Him.
-
Amen. I want him to be all that's
-
left. Let me say today, listen to me
-
folks, some of you maybe noon, let me tell you, going to face
-
some tests and trials, going to face some hardships.
-
And sometimes, sometimes the purpose of those things is to
-
subtract more of you from him so that as we subtract more of you
-
from the equation, the net of what we have is him.
-
And that's rough. It's difficult.
-
It is, it's not easy, but you're not walking on that journey
-
alone. You, if you receive the Spirit
-
of Christ, you have him with you, right?
-
And you can be an overcomer, Amen.
-
By the Scripture says in Revelations overcomer, by the
-
blood of the Lamb, which is our Lord Haman, the word of your
-
testimony. Because no one knows like you do
-
what he's done for you. No one knows like you do where
-
you were at when he found you. No one knows like you do how far
-
he's brought you along the journey, as you, everybody else
-
can observe. But, you know, in the secrecy of
-
your home, you know, in the thought processes of your mind
-
more than anybody, what he's revolutionized, what he's
-
recreated, what he's reformed, what he's transferred.
-
And I'm standing on his blood, and I'm standing on what he's
-
done. I'm standing on his blood.
-
And I'm my God, I feel the Holy Ghost.
-
Oh, yes, thank you. God.
-
It blows my everlifting mind, folks.
-
It does, I guess why I say that. Is there a real issues today?
-
And I'm not trying to go CSI on you here, but there's real
-
issues today of crime scenes where they've got blood from
-
scenes and they've wrongly thought what they thought was
-
the suspect to have been the murderer when it's been one of
-
these individuals that have had a transplant and their blood is
-
telling them that their identity is somebody.
-
Thank God I'm not, not what, not what I used to be.
-
So when that transplant takes place, when, when this divine
-
power takes place in your life in the medical world, when, when
-
the dominance of the DNA is in the bloodline, they consider
-
that person's life is saved. They'll never have their own
-
blood again. No, their old you in that in
-
that sense has has died. There's there's life that
-
flowing through them of their donor.
-
They they don't have to live with the bad blood they were
-
born with. Neither do we have to die with
-
Adam's blood stream for us. You don't have to fight the same
-
infection, so to speak, because we've been healed.
-
We've been made whole by a divine power.
-
We've been made partakers of a divine nature.
-
So whenever I as a young boy, and thank God, you know the Lord
-
had to save me early because he's seen me.
-
You would not want to see an unsaved Paul McGee.
-
I'm telling you the world just would.
-
I don't know. Whenever I went and received the
-
Holy Ghost at 8 years old, I was baptized in Jesus name.
-
It wasn't Mom that he just changed me, but he he
-
transformed. He transformed me.
-
And if you had a mom like my mom, she'd remind you of it.
-
Mom was kind of hard. She wasn't allowing for the
-
mixed chimerism process. I would be the old Paul one day
-
and she'd say, Bobby, did you proceed the Holy Ghost?
-
She was expecting full chimmerism day one.
-
But the fact of the matter is the becoming process sometimes
-
takes time, but as long as each day we can just see a a movement
-
in the forward direction. It might be 3 steps forward and
-
two steps back, but that's still a step forward.
-
So you just be glad my mom's not pastoring the church.
-
That same spirit the Scripture says in Romans that raised
-
Christ from the dead, it dwells in you.
-
That same spirit it dwells is not a different spirit.
-
Same spirit, We take it for granted.
-
The exact same spirit that got him out of the tomb dwells
-
inside of me. Listen, I don't have, I don't
-
have a more powerful spirit in me than you have in you.
-
Your prayers are heard just as much as my prayers.
-
Your worship is just as meaningful as my worship.
-
Your pray all of those things just as meaningful.
-
We all share that we have been baptized into one body by 1
-
Spirit. Amen.
-
Oh, they're really ho ho. No.
-
I got the same spirit that raised him.
-
You got the same spirit raised him.
-
We all do. And it's all transplanting.
-
It's all transforming, if you will, the identity of our lives.
-
It's it's pushing out the old, it's reproducing the new.
-
Every time, every time he moves in my life, I feel there's a
-
shift, Huh. I I feel that spirit of the Lord
-
upon me and I begin speaking new tongues.
-
Just a fresh, you know, And man, there's another shift.
-
Here's the question tonight. I'm coming to a close.
-
If heaven took Adna test today, would your SO be identifying
-
with the first Adam or with the second Adam?
-
Would it say mine or would it say I'm his?
-
Do you understand with me this morning?
-
I would say, and I encourage you in this, every single one of us,
-
from day-to-day, week to week, we need a fresh infusion, if you
-
will, of His Spirit receiving the Holy Ghost and speaking in
-
other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance is not just
-
a day on the counter that took place in your past.
-
That is an experience we try to encourage this.
-
That is an experience that can happen any and every day of your
-
life. In the real, in the real
-
spiritual world, sometimes there's some old cells that try
-
to come back to life. There's sometimes the old nature
-
rears its head that 8 year old Paul McGee creeps up.
-
But the great physician is in the room.
-
You know, when we talk about difference between transplant,
-
transfusion, they give you a transfusion and that's something
-
that's temporary for a moment. It mixes with your blood.
-
It helps you through a certain spot.
-
But transplant is permanent. We need to be vying for a
-
transplant rather than just a transfusion.
-
Amen. Oh, let's just bow our heads
-
here today. Whenever I receive the Spirit of
-
God, folks, that's the day that heaven bled into me.
-
That's whenever heaven bled into me.
-
That's whenever the the divine nature begin to take formation
-
in my life. I'm here to tell you today, if
-
you've not yet experienced that He wants to do that for you.
-
And if you've already experienced that He wants you to
-
walk and grow in that. He wants there to be the
-
increasing of Him and the decreasing of ourselves.
-
And it's going to be warfare sometimes.
-
It's going to feel uncomfortable sometimes.
-
It may be some rocky roads sometimes.
-
I guarantee the more that we submit to to what he is working
-
out in us, he man, the more that we're going to become more and
-
more like him and be identified by him and with him.
-
Can we raise our hands right now this morning just through an act
-
of submission to the Lord today and say, Lord, I know God that
-
you left your home in glory and you came down to be an
-
appropriate match for humanity. God in order to right the wrongs
-
Lord in order to solve Lord the difficulty Lord Jesus of the
-
bloodline of sin. God from the very beginning the
-
in the garden for our life. I pray, Father, today I need
-
Lord Jesus, a permanent Lord Jesus alteration inside of me.
-
Help me God with the war and with the struggle.
-
You can be honest with God. God knows that you're in
-
process. God knows that you're in
-
process. Hey man, but we just need to
-
continue just to give ourselves over to him.
-
Pray through to speaking in tongues and allow that spirit to
-
speak through you over and over again in your personal home and
-
at church. Every time.
-
Just go on and press into that area because by doing so,
-
there's something taking place inside of you.
-
There's there's more of you that's becoming law,
-
self-evident, Amen. And there's less of the old you.
-
It's starting to bow out at it. It's starting to Amen.
-
Give gift, give room and give precedence to the Spirit and the
-
power of God. Hallelujah.
-
He wants all of you this morning.
-
Can I tell you that He wants all of you.
-
There doesn't need to be any square inch or area of your life
-
or your heart that you're like God.
-
You can work on every area of my life, but this little protected
-
spot in my life. No, no, no, no, no, no.
-
Every area of your life needs to be open to the Lord.
-
Let him let him impact that life source in you.
-
Hallelujah. Oh come on, let's begin to talk
-
to the Lord today. Amen.
-
There's some that just just want to talk to him.
-
Lord, I need Lord, renew and infusion.
-
Lord of your spirit. I need, Lord, to adopt and take
-
on. Lord, your nature.
-
I've received your divine power, but help me Lord, allow that
-
power, Lord to have all power. Lord, in my life.
-
Jesus, I need the nature of the Lord.
-
I need the nature of the Lord. I need the nature of the Lord
-
upon me. Hallelujah.
-
Our righteousness is as filthy rags.
-
There's none righteous. No, not one, the Scripture says,
-
but Roman says he is. He's he's taken our sin upon
-
him, but he's imputed to us his righteousness so that when he
-
looks on me, it's not the righteousness of Paul McGee
-
because it's an heir. It's flawed.
-
But if I've allowed it, when he looks on me, he sees his own
-
righteousness, his own identity upon me.
-
Here I am Lord just needs to surrender today and say here I
-
am Lord, here I am Lord Shalala robo sandai Baba sanda robo Baba
-
Saye God. I need heaven to bleed Lord into
-
me. I need heaven to bleed into me.
-
God, it's been a rough week. I've had a few battles with some
-
things. I've I've had the old me that
-
wanted to Lord surface and wanted to say some things and
-
wanted to do some things, but I need heaven to bleed into me.
-
Will you allow the increase of the Lord?
-
Will you allow the increase of the working of the Lord in your
-
life today? I need the oh, I need the Lord.
-
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
Oh, yes, Lord. Brother Mason, if you got a song
-
on your heart right now, we can play that.
-
These altars are open this morning.
-
Amen. For someone that needs, for
-
someone that needs heaven to bleed into them.
-
Heaven to bleed into them. Yes, Lord, Hallelujah.
