-
He said, in the cool of the evening, he will
-
come to the garden. But then the serpent, the adversary Satan,
-
appeared to Eve and convinced her to eat of the
-
forbidden fruits, the fruit that God told them, you can
-
eat any other food, but don't touch this one. And
-
lo and behold, that's the one. She ate because she
-
heard a voice. Turn to your neighbor and say, what
-
who you're listening to? Tell them look them in there
-
and say, watch who you are listening to. So she
-
listened to the serpent, and he lied to her. He
-
convinced her, He deceived her, He manipulated her. We all
-
have people in our lives, friends, who can convince us,
-
who can impress upon us. They influence us to do
-
things that we normally wouldn't do. Be mindful of that,
-
because that spirit, that influential spirit, to do the wrong thing.
-
Because you can be influenced to do the right thing,
-
But the one that influences you to do the wrong
-
thing is it is not a spirit from God. God
-
would not influence to break his command. So anytime somebody
-
is influencing you to do something that is out of character,
-
know that that spirit that is operating in that person
-
is from Satan. It doesn't mean the person is Satan,
-
just that they have allowed themselves to be possessed and
-
used by Satan. Amen. So God came to the garden
-
and talked to them, and the next time we came,
-
they were not anywhere. Not that he didn't know where
-
they were, because God knows everything. He realized that they
-
were hiding from him, and he said, where are you.
-
I came to commune with you. God is a god
-
of community. Let us make man in our own image.
-
He was talking to the Trinity, God, the Father, God,
-
the Son, got the Holy Spirit. Let us make man
-
in our image and our likeness. So like God likes community,
-
God likes all us to be together like fellowship. That's
-
the first time he demonstrated in Genesis, let us make man.
-
So he comes to commune with man that he had created.
-
He created him from the clay, and he breathed his breath,
-
his essence into him. That is why you are made
-
in his image and likeness. God doesn't have skin. God
-
is a spirit, and those that worship him must worship
-
him and his spirit. And in truth, that's what the
-
Word says. So he came and Spirit came to the
-
God and looking for them, and they were hiding. He said,
-
why are you hiding from me? And then Adam said,
-
we were hiding because we realized we're naked. And God
-
was like, all this time I've been coming to you.
-
You were naked. You didn't know, So how come you
-
know today that you're naked? What opened your eyes to
-
make you realize you're naked and that you need to
-
cover yourself? That means you have eaten of that fruit,
-
the tree of the knowledge of knowledge and life right
-
and death, the knowledge of life. And so that's how
-
he knew. And so they became cut off because they
-
disobeyed God, and they were put out. They were evicted
-
from the garden of Eden, and to make sure they
-
didn't come back, God plays an angel at the gates
-
of the Garden of Eden to make sure they wouldn't
-
come back. But the same God in his other manifestation,
-
that is Jesus the Christ, the son of the Living God,
-
God himself had made provision because he never created man
-
to spend eternity in hell to be disconnected from him.
-
He loved man so much that he had made provision, say,
-
make a plan be. Tell your neighbor. Always have a plan. Be,
-
always have a plan. B. It's important. God was teaching
-
us something. He said, I'm creating man, but I know
-
his flesh, and the flesh is weak. The flesh doesn't
-
like stress. The flesh wants to chill all the time.
-
So that flesh is going to try and take control,
-
is going to lead man into trouble. And so when
-
the trouble arises, I want to be there to deliver
-
him from that trouble. So that's why Jesus Christ offered.
-
The scripture tells her that he said, I gave up.
-
I give up my own life. Nobody takes my life
-
from me. I give it up, and I take it back.
-
So Jesus Christ, when the issue happened and they were
-
talking about it in heaven, said, okay, God, we need
-
to reconcile man to ourselves, the Trinity, God, the Father, God,
-
the Son God, the Holy Spain. We need to reconcile
-
mankind to ourselves. So I will go down there. The
-
only way we can reconcile man is we shed blameless blood.
-
Efficacious That means powerful, effective, blameless, stainless blood. And no
-
man is perfect on earth so the only one who
-
could do that was Jesus Christ. So he stepped out
-
of eternity into this realm called earth and came suffered,
-
died because the same man who he was trying to save.
-
You don't like peace, you like trouble, and when your
-
deliverer comes, you don't even recognize because the flesh is
-
in charge. That's why your spirit must always be in charged.
-
Because you are not flesh and blood. You are a
-
spirit being first. You're made in the image and likeness
-
of God and God's spirit, so you are spirit first,
-
living in this flesh, this meat suit, so you can
-
live here on earth. The conditions here on earth required
-
to have this, so your spirit can live here. So
-
tell him to your neighbor and tell you if you
-
break down the flesh, tell them, if you break down
-
this flesh, the spirit must leave. That's why you must
-
take care of yourself. Must take good care of yourself,
-
because you only get one chance. You don't have spare parts.
-
They can't take your spirit out of your body and
-
go and hang the body on the shelf and give
-
you a new body once you tear this one down.
-
Eating the wrong things, drinking the wrong things, smoking, doing drugs,
-
engaging in certain activity that can bring you all kinds
-
of sickness. You are tearing down the body. When you
-
tear it down, the spirit has to leave. That's the
-
law of nature. You get one body, and the spirit
-
dwells in the body when you tear down the body.
-
Oh yah. So God comes down, He talks to them,
-
and so when this happens, they get they're sinful. Then
-
Jesus Christ comes down. Jesus Christ is the second person
-
in the trinity, is God the Sun. Now when Jesus
-
Christ says, He's coming down to redeem man, to reconcile man,
-
to justify man, we talked about all those things justifications.
-
Though you are sinful, though you were conceived in sin,
-
your very nature is sinful. Jesus Christ comes to justify.
-
He makes it just as you've never sinned. That's what justifications.
-
He wipes away your history. He says, if you come
-
to him in repentance with a broken saying God, I'm sorry,
-
I made a mistake. I did it. I wanted to
-
do it, and I went and I did it. When
-
you are contrite, when your heart is repentant, then God says, okay,
-
you're taking responsibility. I honor that. I appreciate it. So
-
I will throw your sins as far away as the
-
east is from the west. If you keep going east,
-
you will never come to west. So that means forever
-
it's separated. But the own condition is that you accept
-
the sacrifice that Jesus Christ did on the cross, because
-
it is only his blood that can erase your sins.
-
So the Holy Spirit says, okay, God, if you're going
-
to go down God the Sun, than me, the number
-
three person in the Trinity. My job, what I'm going
-
to do to help is to broadcast you. I'll be
-
your blogger, I'll be your influencer on earth, and I
-
will tell everybody about you and the sacrifice you're making
-
because you love man. I will shed the information about
-
you into the hearts of man so they can know
-
that you love them, love them so much that you
-
came to die for them. So then the Holy Spirit
-
his job, his primary job is that we talked about
-
that on Friday for those of you who are not here,
-
But today I want to focus even more on Jesus
-
the Christ, the number two person in the Trinity. We've
-
talked about him, We've heard about you know how he
-
came here, died and all of that. But we have
-
to know about him because Christianity, our faith, what we profess,
-
is all about Jesus the Christ. That is why you're
-
a Christian. If you've noticed Christian, the first few letters
-
of Christian spells Christ. So you are a follower of Christ.
-
And if you follower of Christ, then you have to
-
know who you're following. Don't follow blindly. That's why you
-
don't just follow your friends to go and do anything. Well,
-
crime said let's go here, and then you go, Then
-
you get arrested. What happened? Oh no, godm me telling
-
me to go? Then I come and say, oh let's go. Yeah, hey,
-
they're chilling over there. You go. Then some other issue happens,
-
there's some five breaks out and they come and arrest
-
you for the Well what happened where I was? Then
-
said we should go? This I went. You don't just follow,
-
You're not called to be just a blind follower. Yes,
-
it is good to follow because there's leadership, and your
-
leader has watch over your life. That's what the scripture says.
-
Those who are you, who are committed to leading you
-
to teach you who are assigned have watched over your life.
-
They are responsible for your life. But even when your
-
leaders are going the wrong way, you should because that's
-
what the Bible says. You must judge. In other words,
-
you must decipher between If you know your leader is
-
saying something that doesn't work, don't just sit there and
-
go with it. So excuse me. I check the word
-
of God. That's what that's how you judge. You check
-
everything against the word of God. The Bible is your
-
manual for your daily life. So if they're telling you
-
to go and rob somebody, where in the Bible does
-
God say you should go and steal? In fact, it's
-
the commandment, now shall not steal. So if you're under
-
someone's leadership and what they're trying to do is coerce
-
you to go and steal, you see reverence bag google,
-
it's a nice pow. If we get it, you can't
-
sell it. We get some money, so you know, you
-
take it, I'll be back there. You pass it to
-
me and I'll leave and we'll go and sell it.
-
He's coercing you to steal. But now shall not steal.
-
That's what your God says. The Christianity that you are professing.
-
That's what God says. So watch even those leaders that
-
you follow. Amen. So, Jesus the Christ is who we
-
are talking about this morning? Who is he? Who is he?
-
Somebody who can tell me who Jesus is? Just give
-
me something. We've all heard over and over and over
-
and over again who Jesus is. But I want someone
-
to tell me, anyone. Come on, come alive, Come alive.
-
You have God's spirit this morning. You're awake because you
-
have the spirit, and His Holy Spirit quickens you, gives
-
you unction. So today, somebody show me that you're ani.
-
Who is Jesus Christ? Anyone, anyone? If you don't, if
-
you don't talk, I'll come down there. I'll choose. I'll
-
put the mic in your face. It's not easy to
-
stand up here and teach you. So me, I want interaction.
-
That's often. Pick anybody today. Somebody would talk today with today.
-
Tell me who your understanding of Jesus Christ is. Who
-
is it to you?
-
What do you know about him? To me?
-
Jesus Christ is the son of God, and he's the
-
one who came to die to save us, says, and
-
to cleanse us over our own righteousness.
-
Amen, Come on, let's praise God for that. Now, all
-
of you sitting down, you didn't know that you see
-
the answer she gave. Didn't you know that I'm listening?
-
Didn't you know that over here? Did you know that
-
what she said? Did you know that hm hm, you
-
can't talk? Did you know that what she said is
-
corrected by Jesus Christ? So why didn't you just raise
-
your hands? Are you shy? You don't want to talk?
-
What is it? Or you just come here just hear
-
because my mother said I should come to Jay. I
-
really don't want to be here, so don't come and
-
give me any more hair and just talk. Let me go.
-
But you are in his presence, so if you're here,
-
you might as well commune with him, communicate with him.
-
Unless you don't want anything from him, then don't come.
-
But how about it. If you don't come, you lose.
-
He doesn't need anything. In fact, he doesn't even need
-
your praise, he says. If you do not praise me,
-
I will cause the rocks to cry out for me.
-
I don't know about you, but I don't want rocks
-
praising God in my place inanimate objects is in God
-
when He has given me his breath it rocks on
-
our breath. But even the rocks all of creation, as
-
a scripture says, all of ch even's there's a thing
-
professed when he said the trees, clap your hands trees.
-
So when you see the wind blowing the trees that
-
are doing this, you think is just wind. Even the trees. Praise, glorify,
-
magnify God. So when you have the chance, and I'm
-
asking you who Christ is the person you believe in?
-
Who here doesn't believe in Jesus Christ, raise up your hand.
-
If you do not believe in Jesus Christ, raise up
-
your hand. Anybody. You don't know him, so you don't
-
believe in him? Yet anybody, we all know him. We've
-
all heard about him. So he's the one that you
-
profess to know and believe in. He's the one that
-
likes from my MISSI came to die for us, bring
-
us salvation. You believe that, So why won't you talk
-
about it? But when you're around your friends, we can't
-
stop you from talking. Telling let me tell you what
-
I heard, talk about the wrong stuff. But when it
-
comes to Jesus, that's what the devil wants you to do.
-
But that is your first mission as a believer to
-
tell to spread the news about him. Amen. So the
-
Holy Spirit comes to magnify and glorify Jesus Christ, to
-
draw the focus, put the spotlight on Jesus and what
-
he has done for us. Amen. Now, Jesus who he is?
-
And our sister answered that, see in what you call
-
Christianity is the mystery of godliness. Jesus is also man
-
and God. He's one hundred percent God, and he's one
-
hundred percent Man, his one hundred percent God because he
-
is the Son of God and he's the second person
-
in the trinity that we've just talked about. So he
-
is God the Son. He's God, the Father, God the Son,
-
got the Holy Ghost. So his divinity unquestionable. You just
-
can't argue it. That is who he is, uncontestable. That
-
Jesus is God. He is God manifested in the flesh.
-
What does that scripture say in the beginning was what
-
and the word was? And the word was in the beginning?
-
What's the word? And who is called the word? Jesus Christ.
-
He is a word made flesh in the beginning. So
-
he was there at the beginning before we even happened.
-
That's why he says, I knew you In Jeremiah says,
-
I knew you before you were crought up blood in
-
your mother's room, before your parents even met to dream
-
to want to have a baby. I knew you. I
-
called you by name, I sanctified you, I set you
-
up out. I've marked you for my purpose, so he
-
knew you. You didn't choose him. He chose you from
-
the foundation of the time. So he has an original
-
intent and purpose for your life. You are here to
-
fulfill purpose. There's something that God has especially for you
-
to do. That's why you're here. And when it is done,
-
he will call you home. But you have time limited time.
-
Ma knows.
-
I don't know if you're gonna live to be one hundred,
-
one hundred and fifty sixty thirty. Nobody knows. That's why
-
I said work while you have sun, while it is day,
-
day and night is what is the word I'm looking for.
-
It is likened to having life, and darkness is when
-
you go to sleep you die. So while it is
-
yet day, you must work because you don't know when
-
he's gonna call you home. And if you get there
-
and you haven't fulfilled your purpose. I sent you to
-
earth to do this. But God, I thought I had them.
-
I wanted to wait and see. You know, I wanted
-
to live small and then you know, when I get older,
-
then I can do Eh. You don't know when he's
-
gonna call you. So why you still have this blessing,
-
while you still have this spirit, while you still have
-
the breath of your lungs. You have to do his work,
-
do his assignment, obey his word. How about this, When
-
you do what he has commanded, because you've been obedient,
-
he will bless you anyway. See when you put him
-
first in your life, everything else falls into place. But
-
we are most of the time we are busy chasing
-
the creation the gift instead of chasing worshiping, following the
-
createll But his word says, seek ye first the Kingdom
-
of God, and all is what, and what, all these
-
other things, all the things that you desire, It'll come anyway.
-
Just do what I say. I know what I plan
-
for you. I wish above all things that you prosper
-
and be in good health, even as your soul prosperous.
-
That's God talking to you. I have good plans for you.
-
The plans that I have for you You haven't. It
-
hasn't even entered into your mind. You haven't even thought
-
about I want to give you a jet. You you
-
are talking about Tiko. God is trying to make you
-
a billionaire. You're talking about I just need ten thousand.
-
You haven't even acquired the concept of what he wants
-
to do with your life and why does he want
-
to do that? For his glory. He wants to make
-
such a spectacle of you. He said that even your
-
enemies will look at you and say, Hey, that's what
-
this one here God pleas with God. O have you
-
seen him? That's what God wants to do in your life.
-
He wants to transform you and God, listen. You think
-
you can show off. God is a show off more
-
than anybody. He can show you off in such a
-
way that even your enemies will dear God. You do
-
if your enemies have to confess. But by the same token,
-
when you fall on the wrong side of God, he
-
can tear you down, break you down to the point
-
where your even your enemies say, He ask me, I
-
may know, I know I'm not good, but this one
-
let me get away. God has cursed him. Have you seen?
-
That's why it's a dangerous thing to fall to the
-
wrath of God. God is a merciful God, but he's
-
a just God, so he also judges. And the only
-
way you will escape that is when you choose. He's
-
giving you free will. You have to choose to follow
-
Jesus Christ. He said, the only thing you're going to
-
be judged on, the only thing the world will be
-
judged on, is if whether or not they chose Jesus Christ,
-
because he never intended for anybody to spend their life
-
in eternity, in hell with Satan and the fallen angels.
-
But you, he has given you free will, so that listen.
-
All he wants you to do is say I choose.
-
Even though he's chosen, you're ready, but he's given you
-
free will. So if you execute your will and you
-
choose to I don't want anything to do with God,
-
all this God God business. Let me just chill, Charley.
-
I haven't lived. There's stuff to do out there. I
-
want to hang out with my friends. I want to
-
go to the club. I want to do that. You
-
break his heart. He loves you so much. He came
-
down wrapped himself in flesh to come and die for
-
you and he's saying there's more, and you're saying, mm hmm,
-
he did all that, and what so what because you
-
did that, because you just died. Anybody can die, so
-
I should just give my life to you. Please. That's
-
what you're telling God. You're throwing it back in his face.
-
Would you die for your best friend? If your best
-
friend goes and comments a certain agregious sin and the
-
law is after them, and he said what he has done,
-
you have to execute him, will you say, oh, no, no, no,
-
it's my friend. I love him so much. Good that's
-
my girl. Oh no, no, no, take me instead. Really, if
-
you're your siblings, if you your mother and father, yes,
-
sorry for you. Probably say, oh, I'll pray for you
-
so that God to deliver you. But I'm not putting
-
my head down to be chopped off. What you were
-
going to do? Did you tell me? I said my
-
ba for you to go and die for you. It's
-
a natural human reaction. The flesh don't. They don't like
-
pain and don't find.
-
The day day.
-
The flesh doesn't like this comfort, so the flesh will say, hey,
-
how do you I did it? Let her go next time?
-
If you get us again, chance to live again. You
-
go and do it is just in our nature. But
-
Jesus Christ came down and died for us. So Jesus
-
Christ is who we are focusing on today. He's one
-
hundred percent God because he's got the Son, and the
-
evidence is there. He says in his word, if you've
-
seen me, then you've seen my father. Because I and
-
my Father are one, God the Creator, and God the Son,
-
and God the Holy Spirit. They are one. There are
-
three money testations of the Godhead, always in tandem, never
-
contradicting each other. So Jesus Christ came to do that
-
for us. But he's also man, one hundred percent man.
-
He's not fifty percent man and fifty percent spirit or God. No,
-
he's one hundred percent God. That's why he's able to
-
step into this realm or call the earth into what
-
he created. He subjects himself to what he has created.
-
For those of us that have children, would you let
-
your child tell you how to live as a parent,
-
think about it. And if you're at home telling your
-
parents how to live, then as an error, because it
-
is their job to raise up a child in the
-
way that they must go, and when they growing, they
-
will not do. That's the scripture says. So if you're
-
home telling your mother I think you should cook, change
-
your dress, and don't be home by nine o'clock. In
-
my flesh, not in my scientificed self, if my child
-
came and told me do this, don't do that now, Marica,
-
Now come my mom, my mother. In fact, to you,
-
he said, whine ya ya ya ya ya. You know
-
I go to here activ today. Why all these stations
-
you catch all of them? It is an error. It
-
is an error. It is out of order. And God
-
is a god of order. Amen. So he's fully one
-
hundred percent God, and he's one hundred percent man. So
-
what makes him fully God? He Jesus said he is God.
-
And then God, the Father, the Creator also says he
-
calls him God. You want proof, let's check the Bible.
-
God called him God. Go to John chapter twenty. Let
-
me give you a better one. I have a better
-
scripture than that that even God calls him God. John
-
twenty thirteen thirty one says it's recorded that he is
-
the son of God, but God himself also calls him God.
-
Hebrews one in eight Hebrews Chapter one, verse eight Hebrews
-
Chapter one, verse eight. Let's read it. But onto the sun,
-
he saith thy throne, O, God is forever and ever.
-
A scepter of your righteousness is the scepter of that kingdom. God,
-
the Father, the Creator, is talking to Jesus Christ, the Son,
-
God the Son, and say, you are God, and your scepter,
-
the sceptor, is symbolic of your rule, your authority. It's
-
forever and ever. The sceptor of righteousness is the sceptor
-
of that kingdom. He rules over a kingdom. Amen. So
-
you want evidence that he is God, there it is.
-
But there's other evidence of him being divine, of him
-
being the deity, of him being God. It's all about
-
his birth, his living, his death, and his resurrection. See
-
he was born of a virgin Mary, a virgin woman.
-
Who has ever heard of a virgin having a child? Ay?
-
All old enough to talk about this. A man and
-
a woman must come together and they have chromosomes. The
-
woman has ovaries and the man has semen. But the
-
man must introduce a semen into the ovaries for a
-
child to be conceived. But Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ,
-
was a virgin. She had never had an encounter with
-
a man. But yet the Holy Spirit. The Angel announced
-
to her that the Holy Spirit would come and overshadow her.
-
Now on Friday, I taught something for those of you
-
not here. The Holy Spirit is the is the action
-
man of the Trinity. You see in the beginning Genesis
-
one and one, God said, let there be the earth
-
was without form, and it was void and on os
-
and God called some things out. But when he called
-
it out, it is a spirit that moved on the
-
surface of the water. His spirit moved. The word moved
-
is a verb. A verb is what an action word
-
right a verb. When you use a verb, it shows
-
movement and action, a circumstance that has taken place. So
-
the Holy Spirit, when God conceived it, when God spoke,
-
it moved to execute what he had thought. And when
-
he spoke, same thing here. So that Angel announced to
-
Mary and said, the Holy Spirit shall overpower you. She
-
shall overcome you, and you shall conceive the Spirit of God.
-
God the Creator said, I need my son to go
-
down there to reconcile these creatures, these orangu creatures that
-
I've created that are breaking my rules and now getting
-
cut off and about to go to Hell. So I'm
-
going to have to send my son who is a
-
dispensation of me, to go down there, step into flesh,
-
be born of a woman. That is the only way
-
you're supposed to operate in this earth realm. That is
-
a legal way for you to enter this earth, to
-
be born of a woman, if you're born of a
-
lizard or something else, when you need so, he caused
-
marry to take seed, to be impregnated and to birth
-
Jesus Christ. So that's how Jesus is man. He's God,
-
the Father, God, the son who has wrapped himself in
-
flesh and is now birthed as a man, came to
-
live among us, and as a man, he was subjected
-
to everything that you're subjected to. He was hungry, he
-
was tired, he was thirsty. He was talked about, he
-
was lied on, he was gossiped about. Everything that you
-
go through as a human being. Jesus Christ came and
-
lived it. The only difference between you and Jesus Christ
-
is that he sinned not He did not like let
-
all those things affect him. He still kept his divinity.
-
He was still able to keep himself clean. All the
-
temptations that you have, all the wrong text messages that
-
you're sending all those conversations that you're having, that you
-
shouldn't have, all those calls, and gonn yea hear she
-
said this? She has done this. Did you hear she
-
went somewhere with the car, tell somewhere with a boy.
-
That's why you are Meanwhile, you two, you're doing it.
-
Her issue has come up now, so she is the subject.
-
But how about sin is sin? If she was caught
-
to the boy, you to your court on the phone,
-
God's lain by what she did. Instead of praying for her,
-
instead of being her keepers. Well, you see what you're
-
doing me. God doesn't like it to stop. Save yourself
-
because your body is the temple of God. And at
-
the right time you get married, that you can go
-
and experience all of that because then God has sanctioned it.
-
But before that it's fornication. And if your body is
-
the temple of God, then when you sin by fornicating,
-
you're sinning against God. You're not sending against Manu. It's
-
your body, so you think you're using it. But how
-
about the spirit of God dwells in you are the church.
-
The spirit of God dwells in this body. So when
-
you're drinking, smoking, doing drugs, having sex, watching pornography, godsippin
-
telling lies, doing this and the other, you are violating
-
your vessel and you're basically telling God, listen, I want
-
you out of here. Because his spirit cannot dwell in
-
the same splace, in the same space with sin. Jesus
-
Christ knew no sin. That's why he was able to
-
live on this earth, go through all of that and
-
die because his blood was still blameless, taints less, untarnished.
-
It is the only blood that can make the atonement.
-
It's his blood because he knew no sin. If it
-
was yours or my blood. Because your very nature and
-
everything that is crossing through your veins is sinful. Your
-
thoughts are sinful. What you think is your righteousness, God says,
-
it's as filthy rugs before him. Mom, just go to
-
church and be holy, clap and then Bundy, I'm like,
-
you come to church and holy and came talking praise
-
the lordlia glory. Oh shut up, and then Monday. Let
-
me tell you something. You switch. It's almost like you
-
have different personalities some of us, we're all skilled to
-
a little skizophrenic. When you are in a different setting,
-
a certain personality comes out. When you are you with
-
your friends everything. There's no limit when you come to church.
-
You can't talk when you're in front of your parents. Yes, ma'am, Yes,
-
that that's my daughter. She's so good. Though, as soon
-
as they turn their bag. Girl, let me tell you
-
something A fool that mamyr cas check many basele me
-
a god me shaky skitso a little you know, bipolar,
-
you change, flip flop, you become a different character to
-
suit the circumstance. But Jesus, having gone through all the
-
things that you've gone through, didn't submit, didn't allow himself
-
to be tainted, to be changed. He kept his divinity.
-
That's why his blood was acceptable as the only atonement
-
for your sin, because if he had allowed himself to sin,
-
there would have been no atonement. That means that means
-
there would have been no redemption. That means you would
-
have been dying in your sin. There would have been
-
no salvation, the free gift. Because if the one who
-
has come to save you is himself corrupted, how is
-
he going to save you? That's why you can't save
-
each other. If I do, I was doing something wrong
-
today a sin. Now looking all holy tomorrow, you are
-
going to do something when the two sins crash and fire.
-
But God, somebody said, but God, say it? But God, Yeah,
-
but in spite of your sin, he still loves you
-
so much that his sin is only gotten son to
-
die the ultimate sacrifice. But God, how do you not stoppeding?
-
We are all going to hell with me, even me
-
with this mic being here there I was in church
-
by praise Lord. Yeah, he'll be at that's a life
-
well no go lokal line because of that day judgment.
-
It's you and Gordo I do. I won't be there man,
-
son won't be there, Daddy won't be there, Mommy won't
-
be there, your siblings won't be there. It's you and
-
God on this day. I told Reverend before to tell
-
you about me. I always say that, you will say
-
that I'm going. He's just telling me some stories. We
-
should go. I'm going to the mall I'm meeting if
-
you were going to I'm going to eat something. We're
-
going to chill. He doesn't say, don't have a good time. Balance,
-
and he has given you a framework structure. Because you're peculiar,
-
because you're unique, because you're marked, you're sanctified. You have
-
to know whose you are, who do you belong to?
-
Because when you know who you belong to, there's some
-
things you just cannot do. You some things you just
-
won't shouldn't do. Whoever your parents are, whatever their stature
-
in society, they've worked hard. So if you go out
-
there and you exhibit a certain kind of character a behavior,
-
it is a reflection on them. Somebody who says, ah,
-
isn't that miss Damponza's daughter? Hey? Is that huh? Lees
-
our father know she's doing this out there? Dress some way?
-
Exposing everything? What's that song? My malek shape brings a
-
little boys? And when you come home, cover up so
-
your parents say, oh, And when you get out there,
-
when somebody sees it, it is a reflection same thing.
-
How would you testify about Jesus Christ if he came
-
and did the things that you do, the one who's
-
supposed to save you, redeem you, if he came and
-
joined you in your sin, then how would it reflect
-
on God? You sent your son to come, and he's
-
coming here Jesus young co Oh, mommy, mommy, mommy. One
-
thought every you see, if Jesus was doing that with
-
you when he comes and say, you know what I'm
-
the son of God. That I can't save you, you
-
can say, and who clat he would lose the effectiveness
-
of his witness. So his birth is also a proof
-
of his divinity. He had to be born by a virgin,
-
which is supernatural. Who can name a virgin who has
-
been impregnated besides Mary, mother of Jesus, what other virgin
-
on earth has been able to become pregnant and have
-
a baby. Scientifically, they said, there's something called what is it?
-
There's some term they have, but it's when artificial. You know,
-
the woman has eggs and she doesn't need any semen
-
to fertilize the egg, but when that offspring comes, it
-
is because a woman always carries one chromosome. The man
-
has X and Y okay, so it takes a man
-
to fertalize the egg. But in science it said something
-
and the thing can mutate and divide by itself, and
-
a child can be born, but the child is always
-
the same sex female. It can never be male. It's
-
an anomaly because it's only when the male introduces the
-
different chromosomes that you can have a son or a daughter.
-
That's the way God made it. But who can have
-
a child as a virgin. That proves Jesus was a deity.
-
He was supernatural, a man who at their birth does
-
do angels coming. And now the angels came and announced
-
it the shepherds and load the Angel of the Lord
-
appeared onto them and told them that this day a
-
savior was born. His living proved he was deity. The
-
things he did pre baptism and in their culture, when
-
you become twelve, you become a man. In Jews they
-
call it bat misvah. You start taking on the profession
-
that your father did so until he was twelve, In fact,
-
until he was eighteen. He was also doing his father,
-
his earthly father, the one who married Mary Joseph, was
-
a carpenter, so he had tacked by their culture. He
-
was subjected to the same things in that culture. He
-
had to take on your father's profession. So he started
-
learning how to be a carpenter. But he was in
-
the templar twelve and his mother came and found him.
-
So what are you doing, says I have to be
-
about my father's business. Which father was he talking about?
-
Nobody told him that he was conceived by the Holy Spirit.
-
As far as everybody knows his father as Joseph the Carpenter.
-
But at twelve he was in the synagogue in the
-
temple preaching, and when his mother asked him, he said,
-
I have to be about my father's business. He knew
-
his father was not of this earth, so the things
-
he did proved that he was not of this earth. Amen,
-
we're a little short of time, so I'm going to
-
we'll continue this because you need to know who Jesus
-
Christ is, not just the fact that he came to
-
die and give us salvation, but who he is, what
-
he came to the earth to do what he did
-
pre baptism and post baptism got baptized at thirty the
-
Holy Spirit came on him, and then he started doing
-
miracles for three years until he was thirty three. And
-
then he was crucified, and then after you, Chriscifie was buried,
-
and then he rose up on the third day. After
-
the third day, he ascended into heaven to take on
-
his new position as the Great High Priest, sitting at
-
the right hand of God, the Father, the Creator. Because
-
his assignment was complete. He had done what he was
-
assigned to come and die for you and me to
-
redeem us, to win us back to pay with his
-
blood so we wouldn't end up in hell. Don't treat
-
it like just some story. If you say you're a Christian,
-
then this belief is fundamental to your Christianity, this principle
-
of Jesus Christ being the son of God and being
-
a coequal with God. He is God, God in the flesh,
-
and the Word became flesh. But for what purpose? To
-
save you? So if you're here today and you do
-
not know I've just told you who is I've just
-
told you, and you have heard in the day that
-
you hear it, don't brush it up and say, oh,
-
next time, because you don't know if you have next time.
-
You do not know that. So when you've heard about it,
-
faith with our works is dead. And what we believe
-
in our Christianity, this faith, this religion that we aspired to.
-
We are saying that we have faith in the fact
-
that Jesus Christ is the son of God, that he
-
came to earth, he suffered, died and was buried, and
-
he rose up again on the third day and has
-
ascended into heaven, and he ever makes intercession for us
-
even after we have killed him. Me if you kill me,
-
my bost will come back and want you. Every night.
-
I will keep you goutu. I was trying to help
-
you go. Every morning you have the lumps on your face.
-
I will do you well well. But even after we
-
killed him, he ascended to heaven and is seated on
-
the right hand of God, the Father with the scepter,
-
sitting in his kingdom, with his authority still interceding for us,
-
saying God, this is what we planned. So we still
-
until I return. Because God used to hang out with
-
Adam and Eve in the garden. Then they got caught up.
-
They got separated, and Jesus came to reconnect them. We
-
killed him too, human means we are Sharegil. We killed
-
him too. He resurrected, he's gone back. Then he send
-
the Holy Spirit to come and guide you, to comfort you,
-
to teach you, to counsel you. If the Holy Spirit
-
that flesh, I'm sure will kill him too. But he's
-
the spirit of God. He's the action man of God.
-
So you are hearing the voice of God talking to
-
you today. I'm just a vessel. I can't save you.
-
In fact, I may not want to save you, because
-
if I know someone to shake it you have done.
-
I'll probably judge you human nature. If you know some
-
of the things I've done. Standing here now as a person,
-
you'll be like, Hey, what's awful? But God? Somebody say,
-
but God, But God, in this infinite mercy and grace love,
-
Jesus Christ is still sitting at his right hand as
-
the great High Priest, still interceding, still fighting for your soul. God,
-
give him another chance. You say, he doesn't give you
-
a second chance. If it gives you a second chance,
-
that means there's going to be a third. He's county,
-
he doesn't count. He say it gives you another chance.
-
Is a god of another chance. That means it's countless.
-
He's given you chance after chance, trying to make you
-
get it right, because he wants you to spend eternity
-
with him. And this is one of those chances. If
-
you do not know him as your lord and savior,
-
this is your chance. Come to the altar. But remember
-
what the scripture says. If you deny me before men,
-
I will deny you before my father. This is your
-
chance today, the day that you hear my voice hard
-
and not your heart. Why because you do not know
-
if this is the last time you're going to hear
-
about him. You do not know who here knows what's
-
going to happen in the next ten minutes. Anybody, what's
-
gonna happen in the next ten minutes. I'll give you
-
two undred cities. Tell me what's gonna happen the next
-
ten minutes? Anyone? Anyone? Ten minutes? It is? Now? What? Nine?
-
What off? Nine? What? Nine? One? Ten minutes? What's gonna
-
happen the next time minute? Anybody? Can you tell me? Anyone?
-
Nobody can because you don't know. If you know, I'll
-
take your ys and I'll beat you you before or
-
dare it for our fright too far? If you can
-
tell me what's gonna happen ten minutes from now, I
-
will beat you with a pulpet. I will do you
-
well well, and I'll give you to undressities. After that,
-
it's gonna go, you googl Nobody knows. So if you're
-
hearing his voice, now come because on that day he'll
-
tell you. At nine twenty one, on the twenty seventh
-
of April, Reverendestanding, they're talking about me, And I give
-
you free will to choose me, choose you. This day
-
I present your life and death. I've told you he
-
is God. He has a plan for your life, but
-
he wants you to be vested in that plan. He
-
can force you to just do what he says, but
-
he doesn't do that. He loves you so much, and
-
we are the only creatures that he allowed that. The
-
angels don't have a choice. Twenty four to seven. They
-
have to bow, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord. You're a wonderful Lord,
-
your great Lord. That's all they do twenty four to
-
seven around the clock. They're not governed by time. But
-
if we were to bring them into a time chronology,
-
that's what they will be doing twenty four to seven.
-
But in heaven there's no time. It's called eternity goes
-
on forever. That's all they do, singing his praises. He says,
-
every time they bow down, they've seen one side of him.
-
When they get up, they will never see that part
-
of him. If they saw him blue, this time when
-
they come up to us, that they see him white.
-
They saw him white, They see him orange. He changes.
-
There's so much about him that that's why we cannot
-
know God completely. The day you know God completely, that
-
he's not God to you anymore. The mystery of godliness.
-
You can't know him. Oh ask me, I know God.
-
Oh praise the Lord. Hey, but you don't know that
-
he loves you so much that he came to die
-
for you. If you don't know him, come today. I'm
-
not going to stay a long because we have things
-
to do. Please come, don't be shy. I don't worry
-
about who's sitting next to you. If you haven't accepted
-
Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior, this is your chance.
-
We are hearing every day. Old people are dying, Young
-
people are dying, middle aged people are dying. And I'm
-
wondering was he saved? Because if you're not saved, you're
-
going to hell. There's no sugar coating. If you haven't
-
accepted him as your Lord and savior, you're going to hell.
-
But guess what, when you're accepting, your life is fuller.
-
You have more benefits. Listen, you always have a company
-
of angels. He has given them charge over you to
-
what you're going out and you're coming in to protect
-
you from things you don't even know that the enemy
-
is planning for you. He protects you from danger, scene
-
and unseen. That's how much. He loves you, loves you
-
so much that he died for you. If you don't
-
know him, this is your chance. Don't get to heaven
-
on judgment day, standing before God and the counsel of
-
Elders and say I didn't know it, to play like
-
a video for you. Oh you don't know? At night
-
twenty one on April twenty seven, isn't that you're sitting
-
in the blue dress there? Yeay, that's me who was
-
done in there? Reverend before? What did Reverend before say?
-
He was saying that I should give my life to Christ.
-
Oh God, give me one chance. I've got no too late.
-
You had your chance then now it's time for judgment.
-
The only thing you're going to be convicted or judged on,
-
condemned on, is if you decided not to choose Jesus Christ.
-
This is your chance choose life. If you don't know him.
-
Please come. I don't talk anymore. I don't need to
-
pump you and prime you. This is your life and
-
it's about your eternal life. If you don't want it,
-
I'm not going to force you, but know that there'll
-
be judgment. Think about it. And your mother can't talk
-
for you. That day. I know because I'm a mama's
-
she's going to heaven now. But hey, if you say
-
the wrong thing about me, my mother will come for you.
-
So I know. But your mother can't save you, your
-
father can't save you. Your friends won't save you. In fact,
-
your friends would probably like to and say, hey, you see,
-
they may have accepted Christ, and they'll sit down and
-
what you're going to say, you thought you weed two noons? Beoni,
-
so say if you woke a hell, oh yeah, go
-
and Ben, this is your chance, please come. So everybody
-
here is saved. Is that what we're saying. Everybody here
-
is saved, sanctified, set apart, have accepted Jesus Christ as
-
your Lord and savior, and you're sure that you're going
-
to heaven if he comes right now, that you're going
-
with him to heaven, no doubt, no ifs, No hands
-
or butts, because you be the butt of the joke.
-
Because if you're sitting down knowing that you haven't accepted him,
-
you haven't professed him. If you believe in your heart
-
and confess with your mouth, it's not enough to say
-
I've accepted mine. I prayed inside so I know glory hallelujah. No, boy,
-
He says, believe it in your heart by faith, but
-
you have to confess it with your mouth, that Jesus
-
Christ is the son of God. He needs you to
-
tell everybody what you're believing, you're witnessing, you're testifying about him.
-
He needs you to open up your mouth so that
-
there's a record of it, so that when you get
-
to heaven he can say, not this one. You can't
-
judge this one. Because he or she accepted me. My
-
blood speaks for you. So that's what God is going
-
to see when he looks at you. He's not going
-
to see your sin. It's going to see the blood
-
of Jesus Christ, and he washes you white. Us know,
-
so you are presentable into the presence of God. So
-
if you know, then praise God. But if you don't know,
-
if you're not sure, this is your chance. God forbid.
-
We can step out of here and in the next
-
ten minutes he can be called you can be called home,
-
and if you're not sure, there's no coming back. There's
-
no second chance. Amen. Okay, well, let us all stand up,
-
be upstanding. Since you know you are saved and sanctified.
-
I want you to open up your mouth and give
-
God a praise, thanking him for sudding his blood for you.
-
Oh no, you're doing that for me. That's no good.
-
I'm talking about Jesus, the Christ, the one Way. Are
-
talking about God the Sun? Come on, come on, don't stop,
-
open up your mouth, clap for him, Tell him thank you.
-
He died for you, shed his blood for you, and
-
you're secured the place in heaven for you with him
-
till trinity. Come on, are you grateful or are you
-
still sleeping? Oh? Come on, oh come on, come on,
-
give him pray he's worthy. Tell your neighbor he's worthy.
-
He died for me. Come on, don't stop clapping. If
-
your favorite what you call it star celebrity came in here,
-
you'll be clapping and screaming like you've lost your mind.
-
Come on, give God some praise. Jesus is the biggest
-
celebrity of all the only one who would die for you. Amen.
-
I hope you've been blessed.
