  1. Bless his holy name, Amen. It's what the song that they

  2. were singing or playing was. I come to praise him, come to

  3. lift him up and bless his holy name, Amen.

  4. Today, so thankful, so thankful that yesterday God's hand of

  5. protection was upon everybody, Amen.

  6. In the fire there in the high rise, and those firefighters of

  7. our own assembly that God's hand was upon them, Amen.

  8. And all the emergency workers and fire department and Police

  9. Department and so on and so forth.

  10. So thankful. Thank you for our community and

  11. the network of people that come together.

  12. There are Emergency Management people here.

  13. They're people from the senior citizens that came and brought

  14. stuff in the hospital, provided blankets, and just a whole

  15. collaboration effort, Amen, of people here within our

  16. community. And we're thankful today for

  17. that. Amen.

  18. Amen. Thankful today and we're glad to

  19. have then Aaron Brown see he's able to be asked his his week

  20. off then became or his time off became early morning yesterday.

  21. And brother Tyler was supposed to have a four day weekend this

  22. weekend of not working. And he asked him if he got up as

  23. early today as he did yesterday, and he said no, but they were

  24. working diligently, Amen. Coming across the parking lot

  25. the other day was Brother Tyler, someone, I don't remember, it

  26. might have been my wife or someone said, is that, is that

  27. Tyler walking this way? I said, that's him.

  28. There's only one person that has that type of gate right there,

  29. that that's Tyler, that's Tyler Cruz, Amen.

  30. So we're glad that God's hand of protection, Amen.

  31. This morning we're going to be turning to the New Testament

  32. Scripture of second Peter chapter #1 Second Peter chapter

  33. #1 Amen. And we're going to read a few

  34. verses of Scripture, verses 3:00 and 4:00 today in the House of

  35. the Lord. Thankful for each of you that

  36. are here. There were about 50 residents

  37. here from the high rise in this building yesterday, sitting

  38. where you're sitting and in the back and just a little bit of

  39. everywhere, Amen. And so you consecrated that

  40. place before they ever got here, Amen, By sitting there, Amen.

  41. And we're thankful today for you second Peter chapter #1 and

  42. verse #3 and four. I love these couple verses of

  43. Scripture. Some time ago now, we did a

  44. series on 1st and second Peter, and there are just some series

  45. you do that. There's just certain verses of

  46. Scripture that stay with you as a result of having done that.

  47. And so these are a couple verses that just kind of stay in my

  48. heart, my mind. But when a minister today second

  49. Peter one the Bible says in verse 3, according as his divine

  50. power, can everybody say that divine power hath given unto us

  51. all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the

  52. knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue,

  53. whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious

  54. promises, that by these you might be partakers of the divine

  55. nature? Can you say the divine nature,

  56. the divine nature, haven't escaped the corruption that is

  57. in the world through lust? And so by His divine power,

  58. we've been made partakers of his divine nature for a little

  59. while. This morning I want to talk to

  60. you about this. The day heaven bled into me.

  61. The day heaven bled into me. Hallelujah.

  62. Can we go to the Lord right now, one more time, Ask for his help

  63. in the next little while. Father, I love you today.

  64. I thank you, Lord, for your goodness.

  65. I thank you, Lord Jesus, for your hand that's been with us

  66. this weekend. I pray, O Lord, that you're

  67. able, God, to pull in our minds right now.

  68. God to your word. Help us, Lord, to learn of you,

  69. God. I pray Jesus today, God, that

  70. you're able to encourage and uplift and direct and give

  71. guidance, Lord, for our individual lives.

  72. God, those are the words of life.

  73. God, that's within this book. Lord, let them be that Lord to

  74. each one of us individually and the lovely name of the Lord

  75. Jesus Christ that I pray Hallelujah, Amen of the church

  76. say Amen, Amen. You may be seated this morning

  77. in Jesus name. I was listening this week to

  78. some programming. There's a fictional programming,

  79. but nonetheless something that was said in that piqued my

  80. interest. I was, I was listening to where

  81. there were some detectives that were doing an investigation of

  82. a, a murder scene and they found some blood that was at the

  83. murder scene that did not belong to the victim.

  84. And they were presuming that that blood was probably the

  85. blood of the murderer or the possible suspect.

  86. So they had a list of possible suspects that they were going to

  87. gather together and they were going to ask each of them if

  88. they would provide some DNA by swabbing the inside of their

  89. mouth in order to provide their DNA.

  90. And so while the detectives were quite sure that their murderer

  91. was in that room of suspects, there was none that was among

  92. them that refused to give their DNA for cooperation.

  93. And so the DNA tests on the blood at the crime scene came

  94. back and it did not match any of the suspects that they had had

  95. in the room. And so the Long story short on

  96. it was this is that one of the suspects had previously suffered

  97. from the disease of leukemia and as a result of that had had a

  98. bone marrow transplant in of their life.

  99. And it revealed something and what they said was something I

  100. never knew before. And so it piqued my interest and

  101. I did further research. What they said was, is that the

  102. murderer had his original DNA in his skin, his hair follicles in

  103. in his muscle tissue, his saliva.

  104. However, because of the transplant of the bone marrow

  105. transplant, his blood carried the donor's DNA, essentially

  106. meaning that he had two DNA's that his body supplied, one that

  107. was in his blood and one then that came from other areas of

  108. his life, of his skin and so on and so forth.

  109. One that said he had the DNA of his donor and one that had his

  110. original DNA. So that piqued my interest

  111. because you hear all kinds of things, you know, fictional

  112. stuff, and you don't know if it's true or not.

  113. And so I did a little bit of research and the fact of the

  114. matter is it is absolutely true. Bone marrow or stem cells that's

  115. transplanted into a recipient, they begin to carry the donor

  116. DNA the recipient does inside their blood cells, inside their

  117. body. It's a process that's called

  118. chimerism. I'm not going to try to get too

  119. scientific on you, but our bone marrow is the factory for all

  120. the blood cells in our body. It doesn't matter if you have

  121. red blood cells, white blood cells, the platelets, your bone

  122. marrow manufacture, all of those things in your body.

  123. And they say that a successful bone marrow transplant replaces

  124. the recipients Morrow with the donor stem cells.

  125. And so as the donor stem cells begin to engraft there in that

  126. bone, the new blood cells, blood white and red, and platelets

  127. that are produced will carry the donor's DNA.

  128. Hey, man, while the recipient's DNA is still found in its hair

  129. and still found in its tissue and still found in all those

  130. other things, but in its blood, in its blood, it is the DNA of

  131. its donor. Just imagine for a little while

  132. this morning, and this is total, just fixing them.

  133. But imagine for a moment, imagine a young woman, if you

  134. will. We'll just call her Emily for

  135. our purposes. Just imagine that she's in her

  136. early 20s, she's full of life. She has a lot of dreams and

  137. plans and heard though blood has turned against her, her let's

  138. say that she has this leukemia as well and being diagnosed with

  139. leukemia, her body then is producing some cells, some blood

  140. cells that's destroying her body.

  141. It's going to take her from this life.

  142. It's going to kill her. And her blood cells are carrying

  143. a death sentence, if you will, that's written in her own DNA.

  144. Every new cell that's created in her body, it's going to have the

  145. same flawed code that is killing her and bringing her down.

  146. No medication can can fix this disease.

  147. No medication can fix this problem.

  148. The doctors tell her your only hope, ma'am, is to have a bone

  149. marrow transplant. We need to find a donor.

  150. We need to find somebody's DNA, if I could say it like that,

  151. that can replace your own DNA in your blood.

  152. Her family gets tests to see if they're proper.

  153. Her friends get tests. Amen.

  154. Even strangers test to see if they can help her.

  155. And finally, there's a stranger, a volunteer among them.

  156. After weeks of search, they find somebody that can help.

  157. It's a young man that she's never met.

  158. She's willing. He's willing, though, for her, a

  159. person who is a stranger to him. He's willing to go through the

  160. pain of of a bone marrow transplant from his body to her.

  161. The surgery, the recovery, all of that to save someone he don't

  162. even know. And they performed the

  163. transplant. And early in the weeks, her body

  164. kinds of fights a little bit against the new cells.

  165. But after a while, she adopts them in her body, and her blood

  166. begins to change. And the doctors begin to test

  167. her. And now her blood shows that it

  168. no longer matches her own DNA, but it matches the DNA of her

  169. donor. And from that day forward, each

  170. time that they check her blood, it's not identifying her as

  171. Emily, but it's identifying her as her donor.

  172. The record of her blood is basically saying I belong to

  173. somebody else. I know that's imaginative, but

  174. there's real stories. I looked them up in the Los

  175. Angeles Times. There was a lady by the name of

  176. Karen Costa Blanco, 42 years old when she was diagnosed with

  177. leukemia. She received the bone marrow

  178. transplant from somebody from Germany and Karen's blood, her

  179. blood changed from that bone marrow transplant.

  180. When she was when she didn't have it, she was a positive

  181. blood type. After she had it, she was AB

  182. positive blood type. And her own omission was this.

  183. This is what Karen, the the recipient said.

  184. She said my DNA is her. Speaking of the lady from

  185. Germany, she said. So on the inside, we're the

  186. same. Someone say, man, that's what

  187. happens in medicine. But let me tell you what happens

  188. in the spirit. Every single one of us were born

  189. in essence with some bad blood, blood that was diseased, blood

  190. that was infected, if you will, by seeing blood, if you will,

  191. through the family line from the beginning until now was carrying

  192. some mutated DNA, so to speak, of Adam and Eve's fall in the

  193. garden. But don't you know, this

  194. morning, morning, unknown to us, but also knowing us, there was a

  195. donor that walked that that via Delarosa to Calvary's Hill one

  196. day. And he allowed himself to be put

  197. upon a cross who said I'm going to give my life in this moment

  198. so that there can be somebody else that can live.

  199. And the Bible tells us, even according to the book of the New

  200. Testament, that whenever God's Spirit takes up root inside of

  201. us, our identity in a certain means begins to change.

  202. All of the blood test of our soul and of our Spirit starts to

  203. come back with a different result.

  204. I'm no longer, if you will, Paul McGee, but there's a Jesus that

  205. is inside of me. It, it doesn't just come back

  206. the man that I am or the man that I was, but there's a new

  207. identity in Christ that I take on inside of me.

  208. You look at me, I got the same hair, I got the same skin, I got

  209. the same lack of muscle tissue that I always had.

  210. But something happened whenever Christ Spirit got inside of me.

  211. There was a transplanting, if you will, of new things, Amen.

  212. Taking over old things inside of my life.

  213. I no longer today, as a result of being born again in the water

  214. and the Spirit, I no longer today have to carry the DNA of

  215. my old fallen man. I'm carrying, if you will, the

  216. DNA of the one who shed blood for me, who touched me, who

  217. anointed me, who filled me with His Spirit.

  218. What are you saying? I'm saying what medicine does

  219. for the body today the Holy Ghost can do for us.

  220. So in this hour we can have a spiritual transplant, so to

  221. speak. Amen.

  222. A spiritual transplant. Look what the Scripture tells us

  223. our text says. Here's divine power has given

  224. unto us things that pertain unto life and godliness.

  225. This divine power is not just something that operates upon us,

  226. but it's something that can operate inside of us.

  227. It's not just something that comes up on our lives, It's

  228. something that can work in our lives.

  229. By virtue of receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost,

  230. Ephesians 316 says to be strengthened with might or power

  231. by His Spirit in the inner man, the might or the power by His

  232. Spirit in the inter man. Brother Reese is that Holy Ghost

  233. that I received that day. I marked it on the calendar and

  234. I begin to speak in other tongues as His Spirit gave the

  235. utterance. It is the Spirit and the power

  236. of God working inside of my inter man and the Spirit.

  237. Please hear me today. The Spirit that you received is

  238. sufficient. It is enough.

  239. There is not have to be another search.

  240. It's not a transplant that doesn't make good on what needs

  241. to be corrected. It is sufficient and the Bible

  242. says this is what Jesus said to Nicodemus.

  243. He said that which is born after the Spirit is the Spirit and

  244. that which is born of the flesh is flesh.

  245. Honey, Everything that I receive in the Holy Ghost, the spiritual

  246. things then that start to come about in my life, the way that I

  247. talk, the way that I carry myself, my demeanor, then from

  248. that point on, it all connects them back to the Spirit.

  249. The Spirit will empower and give you everything you need for your

  250. life. There are things that continue

  251. to be born of the spirit that you have received in your life.

  252. It's kind of like a seed, right? You get one of those we got

  253. right now, pecans back over there.

  254. We got walnuts over here. If you were to get a oak tree

  255. around here and get a little oak seed, everything within the

  256. might and that little seed is the mighty oak.

  257. All the roots, all the branches, all the trunk, everything, the

  258. bark, everything that would identify an oak tree as an oak

  259. is right within that little acorn, Amen.

  260. Whenever you receive the Spirit of God, all of the attributes of

  261. God, the love, the joy, the peace, the meekness, the

  262. goodness, Amen. All of those things are found in

  263. that spirit that you received. It can produce and has

  264. offspring, if you will, of all these other things that are

  265. attributes and characteristics of God.

  266. It'll happen in your life. It just needs an environment to

  267. grow. The Bible says we are made

  268. partakers of the divine nature, and the way that we have the

  269. divine nature is because of the divine power that we have

  270. received, the Holy Ghost. That's our experience.

  271. And so by the promise of the Holy Ghost, we partake of the

  272. divine nature. It provides a way.

  273. It provides an escape route, the scripture says, even from

  274. corruption, from destruction, from decay, from death, from all

  275. those things of life. Because now we have a spirit

  276. that allowed us to partake of a divine nature.

  277. It can even keep us safe in the afterlife for a home, Amen.

  278. That is eternal in bliss rather than eternal in agony, all

  279. because we we receive the spirit of one who now has transformed

  280. us on the inside to be like the divine nature of the God that we

  281. desire to serve. But here's the fact of the

  282. matter. Many of you know this, but let

  283. me just say it again in Romans 512.

  284. The problem in our situation is we got we got a bad bloodline.

  285. Wherefore the Bible says as by one man sin, everybody say one

  286. sin entered into the world and death by sin, and so death

  287. passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.

  288. The Lord paints with a broad brush here brother pat it, it's

  289. not exclusive. It includes all of mankind and

  290. humanity that we were and impacted by the one man, Adam

  291. and the family in the garden. From the very beginning, sin

  292. entered the world. Do you know that whenever you

  293. entered this life then through your mother's womb, you didn't

  294. have to sin to be a Sinner because you were born into sin.

  295. It's truth of the matter that then by sin, for the Bible says

  296. that the wages of sin or the payment of sin is death.

  297. And so death passed upon all men.

  298. We were born into the world with a death sentence upon our life

  299. as a result of the sin that we were born into.

  300. And so we were all, I could say it in terms of our early

  301. analogy, we were all born with some bad Mara.

  302. We inherited a spiritual leukemia, if you will, from Adam

  303. and from Eve. And it was a disease, though

  304. that wasn't just on the outside, Amen.

  305. But it's one that all went all the way to the core of our

  306. being. And so the issue, the issue

  307. isn't just what we do then in this life.

  308. The issue is who we are because of how we've been born, because

  309. of how we've come into the world.

  310. And so it's not just skin deep, it's it, it's blood deep.

  311. If we could say it like this, The bloodline of Adam flowed

  312. through and flows through us all.

  313. And as a result, I'm born then, Amen.

  314. Corrupt I'm born Vienna with a a lean toward the rebellious.

  315. I'm born with a death sentence on my life.

  316. And so we know this this morning, we can do this.

  317. We know that we can change our behavior and we know that we can

  318. somehow come around and join a church and go to a church and we

  319. can scrub as the New Testament Scripture.

  320. Jesus spoke to the Pharisees. He said you you may clean the

  321. outside of the cup. He says you can do all that.

  322. You can scrub that. But if the source, if the source

  323. of your life has not changed, if the source of your life has not

  324. changed, you're going to just keep getting the same results,

  325. Amen. You're going to just get the

  326. same results. You need something to change on

  327. the inside that can affect the production, Amen, of other

  328. things in your life and other areas of your life.

  329. And so I can dress it up, try to change my behavior, do all those

  330. things, But I need a life source change.

  331. I need a life source change. I need there to be a alter that

  332. what's going on in Paul McGee now won't trace back to the

  333. first Adam, but I need to be born again to be able to trace

  334. it back to the second Adam, which is the Lord Jesus Christ.

  335. Hey man, because everywhere where the first Adam failed, the

  336. second Adam came through. The 1st Adam couldn't live a

  337. sinless life. But the second Adam, the Lord

  338. Jesus Christ said he was tempted in all ways like you and I are,

  339. yet without sin. He bore sin in his body.

  340. And so hey, man, I need today. I need a cure, Amen, that comes

  341. from heaven. I need more than just behavior

  342. modification. Whoa.

  343. I need a transplant from heaven today.

  344. And sin can only be cured today if there is a blood, if there is

  345. a inside replacement plan that happens.

  346. Amen. And I thankful today, Missy,

  347. that there's been a donor though found Hebrews 2 tells us.

  348. And allow me, I just have it down here as a reference, but

  349. I'm just going to go and read it today.

  350. And you're hearing if that is all right.

  351. Hebrews chapter #2 and verse #14 you guys don't have that up

  352. there, but you perhaps can get it here pretty quickly.

  353. Hebrews chapter #2 and verse #14 has a few verses of Scripture

  354. there that I would like to share.

  355. Amen, with you this morning. Verse #14 of Hebrews 2.

  356. I'm trying to turn there and my pages are sticking together in

  357. some places. Amen.

  358. The Bible says these words. I can get there for Lehman,

  359. Hebrews Hebrews 214 for as much then as the children are

  360. partakers of flesh and blood. He also this is Speaking of

  361. Jesus Christ. He also likewise Himself took

  362. part of the same, that through death He might destroy him that

  363. had the power of death, that is the devil, and delivered them

  364. who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to

  365. bondage, just talking about humanity.

  366. For barely He took not on Him the nature of angels.

  367. Speaking of Jesus, again, He didn't take on Himself.

  368. Amen. The nature of angels.

  369. Whenever God came down, God was manifest in the flesh, but He

  370. took on him the sea of Abraham. Wherefore in all things that

  371. behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might

  372. be merciful and faithful High priest in all things pertaining

  373. to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

  374. What the writer of Hebrews is saying, in order to have a

  375. donor, we had to have a donor match to us.

  376. Amen. God was a spirit, nobody

  377. involved, no body like literal body involved, therefore no

  378. blood involved, therefore no bone involved.

  379. But God says he's looking. You see it through Old Testament

  380. scripture even in in the Ezekiel when the Bible says they look

  381. for a man to make up the hedge, they look and they found none.

  382. You see that a common a common theme throughout Old Testament

  383. scripture at different times. They're looking for someone to

  384. mediate. They're looking for someone to

  385. stand in the gap and they're never finding a man.

  386. The reason why that's pointing to, to the answer of the New

  387. Testament Scripture, the only man that could satisfy all these

  388. things and that was Christ Jesus.

  389. God says they're looking for a man.

  390. They're not finding a man. I'm going to have to become the

  391. man. I'm going to have to become a

  392. man. And that the Spirit of the Lord

  393. overshadowed Mary. The Bible says hey man, and that

  394. was born in her was of the Holy Ghost.

  395. And she would tarry that child for nine months as a lady would.

  396. And then Bethlehem's Manger, she would give birth to Jesus

  397. Christ. Hey man, the Son of God, the Son

  398. of man. Hey man who had the ability that

  399. no other man in humanity had. Look what the Scripture said.

  400. He said he was made lower than the angels.

  401. He took upon himself the form and the nature of the seed of

  402. Abraham. What's that mean?

  403. He had to become our match, He had to become our donor match,

  404. He had to come the acceptable match.

  405. And so whenever He came down, that divine, that divine God, He

  406. took on the nature of humanity, He took on the nature of

  407. mankind. With this in mind, that if I ask

  408. God, the Divine will take on the nature of humanity, I will then

  409. in return give humanity the chance to take on the nature of

  410. the divine. That's what what happens when

  411. you receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

  412. God came down as man so man could take on the nature of the

  413. divine by being filled with the power of his Spirit.

  414. And that is a transplant that revolutionizes your life.

  415. So that as I walk, I don't just bear, so to speak, the DNA of

  416. Paul McGee. I bear the DNA of a nature

  417. different than my human nature. Oh, yes?

  418. Hey, man, there's a match. That was found.

  419. Calvary, the perfect donor, stepped forward.

  420. His blood wasn't corrupt. His blood wasn't tainted.

  421. Again, having having been tempted or tested like we are,

  422. but without sin, He was, He was tested like us, but He didn't

  423. sin like us. In these terms His Morrow was

  424. pure. His Spirit carried no trace of

  425. sin or mistake or fallacy. And it is.

  426. The Bible even calls it the Holy, it's the Holy Spirit,

  427. their own Calvary through the beatings that even LED up to

  428. Calvary from the crown that was pierced upon his head.

  429. You know what? The Lord, and this is something

  430. that he was allowing, Amen. No one took the life of Jesus

  431. Christ. So I want to mark that well, no

  432. one ever took the life of Jesus Christ.

  433. He gave his life, but in the giving of his life, he opened in

  434. a, in a sense, his veins at the cross and his beatings prior to

  435. the cross, He opened his veins and was offering his life, Amen.

  436. The Old Testament said over and over again that the life of the

  437. flesh is in the blood. As He was given forth that

  438. blood, He was given forth His life.

  439. And whenever we receive His Spirit, Amen, by new birth, He

  440. enters into our hearts, into our lives.

  441. And the awesome thing about God is this, He doesn't just improve

  442. upon us, He recreates us. I think we need to get that

  443. right. He's not just improving the old

  444. creature, but I'm a new creature in Christ Jesus.

  445. All things are passed away. Behold, all things become new.

  446. He's not just improving, he's recreating.

  447. He's yes, he's recreating. So I don't need, I don't need

  448. today, this morning. I don't need a transfusion of

  449. religion. I need a transplant of identity.

  450. This is what I'm going through. This, this thing, this

  451. experience I've had in my life. This just isn't some type of

  452. surface platitude just for the observer that walks by.

  453. Oh, look at them. No, no, no, this isn't even

  454. emotional support system whenever I got the Holy Ghost.

  455. No, it's an inward correction. All because a donor said I'll go

  456. through the pain. I'll go through whatever is

  457. necessary in order to help save a life.

  458. The Bible says in John 3 and verse #5 except a man, Jesus

  459. speaking to Nicodemus, except a man be born of water and of the

  460. Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.

  461. Let me tell you what you've been through.

  462. If you've been through Amen, receiving the gift of the Holy

  463. Ghost. Your repentance is a clearing

  464. out of the old system. To use the analogy, they got to

  465. get the old bone marrow out of the recipient and replace it

  466. with the bone marrow of their donor.

  467. Repentance clears the old system, the disease, the Morrow,

  468. if you will, that's in your life, it must be destroyed.

  469. Your baptism in Jesus name washes any and all residue of

  470. that away. It cleanses the bloodstream.

  471. And whenever you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, new

  472. life, new identity is implanted inside of you.

  473. That folks is what the scripture calls regeneration, which is an

  474. awesome thing Ray, because within the word regeneration is

  475. the word gene. It's a re gening.

  476. A re gening. I've received another genetic

  477. code from heaven. He's begin to write across my

  478. life, my bloodline, my bloodline, Amen.

  479. Now doesn't end with Adam. No, no, it begins with Christ

  480. Jesus. Now here's the thing ladies and

  481. gentlemen, in medicine, doctors run tests after a donors A

  482. recipient has had a transplant to see how the DNA is happening

  483. in the blood, how things are going.

  484. And over periods of time they can have this mixed chimmerism,

  485. which means they can get from the bloodstream both the old

  486. that the individuals original DNA and the DNA of their donor.

  487. Because sometimes the body fights for the space of who's

  488. going to have who's going to have dominance there.

  489. Whenever you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, that's not

  490. that's not our our journey over. That's our journey beginning.

  491. And when we do, sister Ray the apostle polling spoke, I believe

  492. it is in Romans 7. He talks about a warring going

  493. on in his members. Huh.

  494. The things that I would do, I do not.

  495. The things that I should do that I don't do.

  496. There's a warning in the members, right, because there's

  497. a new identity that's trying to take control, but there's an old

  498. identity that's not wanting to give up.

  499. That happens. Sister Brittany, there is not a

  500. single person that's ever received the Holy Ghost that not

  501. have had that happen to some degree of a warring and still

  502. have it happen warring that takes place within the members,

  503. Amen. And so as they do this, they'll

  504. they'll take samples of the blood, Amen.

  505. And they know that the transplant has totally

  506. succeeded. Whenever the donors DNA within

  507. the bloodline begins to be dominant, Amen, over the old

  508. DNA. They say about two to four weeks

  509. in whenever engraftment and that's the words they use, not

  510. mine. Whenever engraftment is taking

  511. place, that's taking place in their bones and their bone

  512. marrow, and then about a one to three, three months in both the

  513. recipient and the donor DNA can be found in the blood.

  514. And so they're going to do this little chimerism analysis to try

  515. to find out what percentage of the blood is the original, what

  516. percentage of the blood is the donor.

  517. And so whenever a a successful transplant takes place, the the,

  518. the results are this that the the DNA of the donor is

  519. increasing while the DNA of the original is decreasing.

  520. But you can't make this stuff up.

  521. This is a good picture spiritually.

  522. What happens whenever you start and have a walk with God?

  523. He meant there is that wrestling of identities within you.

  524. But as time goes on, we should be able to find starting to find

  525. an increase of your new identity, increase of your new

  526. identity, while there's becoming a lesser, if you will, a lesser

  527. presence of your old identity. Why?

  528. What happens? You'll find out that your words

  529. begin to change, your desires begin to shift.

  530. You're just things that used to grab your attention and

  531. interest. You don't interest you anymore.

  532. And other things began to interest you.

  533. And so the results are coming back week after week and they're

  534. starting to see, oh, I see something here.

  535. There's more more of him and now less of them.

  536. There's, there's coming a little, there's a, there's a

  537. little turn going on here. It's a little more of him.

  538. Did not John the Baptist even say with the ministry of Jesus

  539. Christ on the earth, he said he must increase and I must

  540. decrease. I can't imagine.

  541. Maybe he's talking about a little chimmerism going on.

  542. There's something going on. There's identity.

  543. I know there's a war, but we're going to more of him less than

  544. me. They say at about 3:00 to six

  545. months or even a year that nearly all the blood cells of

  546. the of the original individual has been changed over to that of

  547. the donor. So that when they do blood

  548. tests, at that point, all they're going to get in the

  549. blood is whoever their donor was.

  550. And I want there to be some spot along in my life that if he's

  551. going to test Paul McGee, that they're going to say rather

  552. short. I want them to be able to see,

  553. not me. I want them to say there's Jesus

  554. there. I see it in their actions.

  555. I see it in the way that they handle people when there's

  556. catastrophe. I see how it is when they talk.

  557. I see it how it is as they relate.

  558. I see it in their attitude under pressure.

  559. What's going on. There's something that's

  560. becoming more that I see Jesus in the earth.

  561. Yeah, I'm still Paul McGee, but there's some.

  562. There's been a a recreation. There's been a transplant.

  563. Paul said in Galatians 220 said I'm crucified with Christ, he

  564. said. But it's no longer I, he said.

  565. It's no longer I who live, he said.

  566. But Christ liveth in me. He says.

  567. I'm Paul, he said. But there's something come,

  568. there's something happened in me.

  569. I'm Paul. Absolutely.

  570. I got the same looks, if you will, as far as facial

  571. appearance and all that. That's me.

  572. But Christ is living. If I'd say Paul was saying, you

  573. know what, the blood test has come back, they said I'm Christ

  574. positive, not AB, not O, He said I'm Christ positive.

  575. It's there's been a successful transplant.

  576. The doctors call that full donor chimmerism when there's no more

  577. trace of the Odna left, just the trace Amen of the donor inside

  578. the body. Folks, that's what Scripture

  579. calls sanctification. That's when we've been totally

  580. set apart unto him that that's what we call him, the scripture.

  581. Walking in the spirit, right. You're not just walking by,

  582. you're walking in the spirit that whenever my thoughts that

  583. Amen has become here, I've adopted his thoughts.

  584. I've I've adopted his outlook, His compassion has become my

  585. compassion, His Holiness has become my hunger until all

  586. that's left is Him. Honey, I want to get to a place

  587. in this world that I live, that all that is left of Paul is the

  588. Lord. All that's left of Paul is

  589. Jesus. You can call me a Jesus freak.

  590. You can call me a holy roller. You can call me one of his.

  591. But just don't call me who I once was.

  592. I want to be identified as his and his alone.

  593. Call me Sabredeemed owned by Him.

  594. Amen. I want him to be all that's

  595. left. Let me say today, listen to me

  596. folks, some of you maybe noon, let me tell you, going to face

  597. some tests and trials, going to face some hardships.

  598. And sometimes, sometimes the purpose of those things is to

  599. subtract more of you from him so that as we subtract more of you

  600. from the equation, the net of what we have is him.

  601. And that's rough. It's difficult.

  602. It is, it's not easy, but you're not walking on that journey

  603. alone. You, if you receive the Spirit

  604. of Christ, you have him with you, right?

  605. And you can be an overcomer, Amen.

  606. By the Scripture says in Revelations overcomer, by the

  607. blood of the Lamb, which is our Lord Haman, the word of your

  608. testimony. Because no one knows like you do

  609. what he's done for you. No one knows like you do where

  610. you were at when he found you. No one knows like you do how far

  611. he's brought you along the journey, as you, everybody else

  612. can observe. But, you know, in the secrecy of

  613. your home, you know, in the thought processes of your mind

  614. more than anybody, what he's revolutionized, what he's

  615. recreated, what he's reformed, what he's transferred.

  616. And I'm standing on his blood, and I'm standing on what he's

  617. done. I'm standing on his blood.

  618. And I'm my God, I feel the Holy Ghost.

  619. Oh, yes, thank you. God.

  620. It blows my everlifting mind, folks.

  621. It does, I guess why I say that. Is there a real issues today?

  622. And I'm not trying to go CSI on you here, but there's real

  623. issues today of crime scenes where they've got blood from

  624. scenes and they've wrongly thought what they thought was

  625. the suspect to have been the murderer when it's been one of

  626. these individuals that have had a transplant and their blood is

  627. telling them that their identity is somebody.

  628. Thank God I'm not, not what, not what I used to be.

  629. So when that transplant takes place, when, when this divine

  630. power takes place in your life in the medical world, when, when

  631. the dominance of the DNA is in the bloodline, they consider

  632. that person's life is saved. They'll never have their own

  633. blood again. No, their old you in that in

  634. that sense has has died. There's there's life that

  635. flowing through them of their donor.

  636. They they don't have to live with the bad blood they were

  637. born with. Neither do we have to die with

  638. Adam's blood stream for us. You don't have to fight the same

  639. infection, so to speak, because we've been healed.

  640. We've been made whole by a divine power.

  641. We've been made partakers of a divine nature.

  642. So whenever I as a young boy, and thank God, you know the Lord

  643. had to save me early because he's seen me.

  644. You would not want to see an unsaved Paul McGee.

  645. I'm telling you the world just would.

  646. I don't know. Whenever I went and received the

  647. Holy Ghost at 8 years old, I was baptized in Jesus name.

  648. It wasn't Mom that he just changed me, but he he

  649. transformed. He transformed me.

  650. And if you had a mom like my mom, she'd remind you of it.

  651. Mom was kind of hard. She wasn't allowing for the

  652. mixed chimerism process. I would be the old Paul one day

  653. and she'd say, Bobby, did you proceed the Holy Ghost?

  654. She was expecting full chimmerism day one.

  655. But the fact of the matter is the becoming process sometimes

  656. takes time, but as long as each day we can just see a a movement

  657. in the forward direction. It might be 3 steps forward and

  658. two steps back, but that's still a step forward.

  659. So you just be glad my mom's not pastoring the church.

  660. That same spirit the Scripture says in Romans that raised

  661. Christ from the dead, it dwells in you.

  662. That same spirit it dwells is not a different spirit.

  663. Same spirit, We take it for granted.

  664. The exact same spirit that got him out of the tomb dwells

  665. inside of me. Listen, I don't have, I don't

  666. have a more powerful spirit in me than you have in you.

  667. Your prayers are heard just as much as my prayers.

  668. Your worship is just as meaningful as my worship.

  669. Your pray all of those things just as meaningful.

  670. We all share that we have been baptized into one body by 1

  671. Spirit. Amen.

  672. Oh, they're really ho ho. No.

  673. I got the same spirit that raised him.

  674. You got the same spirit raised him.

  675. We all do. And it's all transplanting.

  676. It's all transforming, if you will, the identity of our lives.

  677. It's it's pushing out the old, it's reproducing the new.

  678. Every time, every time he moves in my life, I feel there's a

  679. shift, Huh. I I feel that spirit of the Lord

  680. upon me and I begin speaking new tongues.

  681. Just a fresh, you know, And man, there's another shift.

  682. Here's the question tonight. I'm coming to a close.

  683. If heaven took Adna test today, would your SO be identifying

  684. with the first Adam or with the second Adam?

  685. Would it say mine or would it say I'm his?

  686. Do you understand with me this morning?

  687. I would say, and I encourage you in this, every single one of us,

  688. from day-to-day, week to week, we need a fresh infusion, if you

  689. will, of His Spirit receiving the Holy Ghost and speaking in

  690. other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance is not just

  691. a day on the counter that took place in your past.

  692. That is an experience we try to encourage this.

  693. That is an experience that can happen any and every day of your

  694. life. In the real, in the real

  695. spiritual world, sometimes there's some old cells that try

  696. to come back to life. There's sometimes the old nature

  697. rears its head that 8 year old Paul McGee creeps up.

  698. But the great physician is in the room.

  699. You know, when we talk about difference between transplant,

  700. transfusion, they give you a transfusion and that's something

  701. that's temporary for a moment. It mixes with your blood.

  702. It helps you through a certain spot.

  703. But transplant is permanent. We need to be vying for a

  704. transplant rather than just a transfusion.

  705. Amen. Oh, let's just bow our heads

  706. here today. Whenever I receive the Spirit of

  707. God, folks, that's the day that heaven bled into me.

  708. That's whenever heaven bled into me.

  709. That's whenever the the divine nature begin to take formation

  710. in my life. I'm here to tell you today, if

  711. you've not yet experienced that He wants to do that for you.

  712. And if you've already experienced that He wants you to

  713. walk and grow in that. He wants there to be the

  714. increasing of Him and the decreasing of ourselves.

  715. And it's going to be warfare sometimes.

  716. It's going to feel uncomfortable sometimes.

  717. It may be some rocky roads sometimes.

  718. I guarantee the more that we submit to to what he is working

  719. out in us, he man, the more that we're going to become more and

  720. more like him and be identified by him and with him.

  721. Can we raise our hands right now this morning just through an act

  722. of submission to the Lord today and say, Lord, I know God that

  723. you left your home in glory and you came down to be an

  724. appropriate match for humanity. God in order to right the wrongs

  725. Lord in order to solve Lord the difficulty Lord Jesus of the

  726. bloodline of sin. God from the very beginning the

  727. in the garden for our life. I pray, Father, today I need

  728. Lord Jesus, a permanent Lord Jesus alteration inside of me.

  729. Help me God with the war and with the struggle.

  730. You can be honest with God. God knows that you're in

  731. process. God knows that you're in

  732. process. Hey man, but we just need to

  733. continue just to give ourselves over to him.

  734. Pray through to speaking in tongues and allow that spirit to

  735. speak through you over and over again in your personal home and

  736. at church. Every time.

  737. Just go on and press into that area because by doing so,

  738. there's something taking place inside of you.

  739. There's there's more of you that's becoming law,

  740. self-evident, Amen. And there's less of the old you.

  741. It's starting to bow out at it. It's starting to Amen.

  742. Give gift, give room and give precedence to the Spirit and the

  743. power of God. Hallelujah.

  744. He wants all of you this morning.

  745. Can I tell you that He wants all of you.

  746. There doesn't need to be any square inch or area of your life

  747. or your heart that you're like God.

  748. You can work on every area of my life, but this little protected

  749. spot in my life. No, no, no, no, no, no.

  750. Every area of your life needs to be open to the Lord.

  751. Let him let him impact that life source in you.

  752. Hallelujah. Oh come on, let's begin to talk

  753. to the Lord today. Amen.

  754. There's some that just just want to talk to him.

  755. Lord, I need Lord, renew and infusion.

  756. Lord of your spirit. I need, Lord, to adopt and take

  757. on. Lord, your nature.

  758. I've received your divine power, but help me Lord, allow that

  759. power, Lord to have all power. Lord, in my life.

  760. Jesus, I need the nature of the Lord.

  761. I need the nature of the Lord. I need the nature of the Lord

  762. upon me. Hallelujah.

  763. Our righteousness is as filthy rags.

  764. There's none righteous. No, not one, the Scripture says,

  765. but Roman says he is. He's he's taken our sin upon

  766. him, but he's imputed to us his righteousness so that when he

  767. looks on me, it's not the righteousness of Paul McGee

  768. because it's an heir. It's flawed.

  769. But if I've allowed it, when he looks on me, he sees his own

  770. righteousness, his own identity upon me.

  771. Here I am Lord just needs to surrender today and say here I

  772. am Lord, here I am Lord Shalala robo sandai Baba sanda robo Baba

  773. Saye God. I need heaven to bleed Lord into

  774. me. I need heaven to bleed into me.

  775. God, it's been a rough week. I've had a few battles with some

  776. things. I've I've had the old me that

  777. wanted to Lord surface and wanted to say some things and

  778. wanted to do some things, but I need heaven to bleed into me.

  779. Will you allow the increase of the Lord?

  780. Will you allow the increase of the working of the Lord in your

  781. life today? I need the oh, I need the Lord.

  782. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

  783. Oh, yes, Lord. Brother Mason, if you got a song

  784. on your heart right now, we can play that.

  785. These altars are open this morning.

  786. Amen. For someone that needs, for

  787. someone that needs heaven to bleed into them.

  788. Heaven to bleed into them. Yes, Lord, Hallelujah.
