Covenant School Of Ministry

Difficult people, so they were constantly upgrading us. I don't

want anybody to feel like this is not a classroom.

People will never pause in our class. For people with

basic preachers. It is an enhancement. It is a sharing,

a collaborative effort of all of us, sharing our experiences

about preaching, what works, what does not work. And as

I said to her, every two weeks, we're going to

have various courses, some in the episcopal see some and

how to be an overseer some of the what bishops

just know, our modern day impossibles, just all kinds of

things are pastoring.

I'm going to put together. I'm putting together.

A success Pastor's Institute because I'm.

Finding out that people like a pastor and her husband.

Make ministry look easy, right, so anybody think they can

do it. I am amused with a number of people

who have started churches who need to go find somebody

who already has a church and say me and my

people are coming over and we're gonna help you out.

And the number of people who think they're pastors.

There that are not man. Pastoring is not just a palacy.

It's not just something you get up because you got

all of us I teach in my church.

All of us are ministers. Everybody in the church is

a minister.

Everybody has a men nustry, but not everybody has the

ministry of preaching, the ministry of teaching, the ministry of pastoring.

You gotta know where you fit and stay in your

lanu a man. And this is the day where people

will jump out in a minute and then start a church,

and then after fifteen or twenty tries and ten years,

it ain't working, and they still think it's the devil.

It ain't the devil. You don't have that ability. That

is not what God calls you to do. So I

think it's I think I think it's imperative for us

to know that.

Yes, Uh and Uh, I know something up here. When

I was dealing with Uh and she will.

Tell you, I pantation was a part of our ministry.

And she kept trying to get famous, kept trying to

get famous. One day the Lord told me to tell

her something, and I'm telling it. This is this is

my mantram. People who think they have arrived usually have not.

People who try to be famous don't ever get discovered.

People who try too hard because uh, one day I was,

I was dealing with this stuff. As the Lord told me.

He said, it's the Holy Spirit and me that makes

you go viral. I said what he said, it's the

Holy Spirit in me. If I don't want you to

go viral, you ain't going viral. You can do whatever

you want to do. You can preach, you can go

up on the top of it.

I can swing from that uh uh top that roof

over there. But if the Lord does not want that

to be what he wants that to be, it's not

gonna be that. So we have to know where we are.

So let's deal with certain preparation. And there are a

lot of legal words I'm going to.

Try to pack in the time we have together everything

that deals with the basics of what you need to know. Now,

please let me tell you this course is normally talk

in two sections.

And it normally takes about eighteen weeks. But we're gonna

try to condense all of it.

One of my professors was named doctor Mitchell. Doctor Mitchell

calls what we do the celebration of preaching. We all

know Paul, and preaching has some parts. I want to

go backwards and come come forward. The first part is

your voice. Your voice. Your voice is your commodity. Your

voice is your main tool. You gotta take care of it.

You gotta protect it. You gotta make sure you guard

your voice, even down to One of the things I'm

going to do eventually is for preachers, bring in a

voice coach. Some people preach and then nasally. Some people

preach and the tone is off. Some people preach and

they don't realize they irritate you more than they help

you because listening to their voice is not a good thing.

Then there are preachers. I have friends and bishops and

people that I have known who are preachers, but they

lost their voice.

And there are a lot of things you can do

to lose your voice.

But I was growing up the old preacher fussing us

before we went outside winter or summer.

Howver, your throat up, what it's hot, how are your

throat your pores are open, your sweating stuff is getting

in your system and it can pollute your choints.

It also is a matter of focus, because when you

are preaching, you're gonna hear me say a lot about focus,

because if you are not focused in your preaching or

around the preaching, gift you're not gonna be effective, so

you have to focus.

So by God, well, James is on the microphones and I'm.

Struggling and need a mic, and I got to struggle

with him.

Missus.

Lord John's taught us something one time, he says. He says,

when I get up, I always.

Started real soft, every one of us, Lord, he said.

The reason why I do that is because I'm waiting for.

The man on the microphone to turn my mic up

and say, Lord, we can't hear them, he said.

And then after he gets the volume set.

I want him to leave it alone because I know

that I'm gonna use my voice in order to enhance

my crowd, he said. But if I start off loud,

they're lower my mic, and then by the time I

get to the end of the message, you have no voice.

Every preacher has gone through it where you started out preaching.

But I used to preach on Sundays twice Monday.

I was horse. I had no voice. Right now, I

am hoarse, but I am horse because.

Of fallen, because of sinuses, because of all of the

stuff that's gone on in our environment. And so you

have to protect your voice. There are things you can do.

You can't get throat coat. Throat coke gonna make you

sick as a dog, but it's gonna generate good vocal

You're gonna have to have vocal rests.

You know, you got to freeze today.

But the church is having a picnic and you go

out to the picnic playing.

South Park holly Head. Hey, come on, come up.

You're not protecting or resting your commodity.

It's your commodity.

I have people in my church right now and they

will tell you, and they all are going to throat

specialists because they're going through very It's the same thing

for singing.

Can I tell you something that you that you need

to know?

When people come to hear you freach, they want you

to sound like they expect you to sound, and they

don't want you up there now all of a sudden

because your voice is messed up, not delivering.

It's the same thing with singing. Same thing with singing.

If I go to a concert and I want to

hear beyonceing, I want be answer.

In the sun she sound on that record, because I

ain't fit to pay No.

Three and four hundred dollars to come in and hear

her lips sink and hear no CD play, I can.

I can get to see that from the store for

twenty dollars. So when I come in, no, God.

You gotta bring it. Come on, come on, Vincent, or

give it my money back.

Because concerts are three hundred, two hundred dollars a ticket,

So you expect that person to give you the same

thing that you would if you were listening to them

on Facebook, if you were listening to them on a recording,

if you listen to and you want to feel the

same spirit of God, I listen to people, Minister Howard.

She makes me laugh because I was I was thinking.

About what I was gonna talk about today, and I

was coming over here and I was playing fifteen hundred,

and I was listening to the radio, and there was

a man on now and I said, Lord, have mercy

at seven o'clock in the morning, why is this man

on the radio?

He can he can pay for that time and let

me preach. I still get him all them. But he

sat there and I can't even thank God.

I can't remember the name of the broad because he

was just on there. He was talking. I was like

seven o'clock in the morning. I'm gonna need just a

little bit more, brother, And he said, if you have

any suggestions for this, bro class, please call me.

And I started writing the number down and just call him.

Said brother, at seven o'clock in the morning, you got

to bring me some excitement.

I'm getting up by you know. I took my shower

and everything. Now I'm trying to get refreshing. Gonna sit

down the radio and talk just like this the whole time.

And he said, hey, y'all want.

Y'all in another prayer is essential and y'all was able

to do it, but he wanted I was. I was like, Lord,

have mercy, this is this is not what we need.

So number one, protect your voice.

And if you did write in your paper, write it

your voice is your commodity.

It's uh Todd Hall.

We were doing a sound check and Raleigh and I

was in there and he he he read spiritually. He

read the person doing the soundboard sound teenish and he said, oh,

he said, when I tell you to turn it up,

I mean.

Turn it up. He said, because you ain't. Because I

want you to think about it.

If preaching is the only thing you do, and and

and Pastor Smith will tell you because I was just

alluding to those who uh having have to have vocal

rests now and stuff like that.

They sing all the time. They sing all the time

and have to have.

If you don't take care of your commodity, then one

day you're the pastor one day you're a preacher, and

that's all you.

Have, and now you can't talk. What are you gonna do.

You didn't take care of your voice, you didn't protect

your voice, you didn't have a good might, and so

sometimes you have to argue with the technicians. Turn me up,

because I'm trying to protect this. This is the voice

of God. I'm trying to protect you. This is my commodity.

And if I lose it, I might be a good

o stent Walmart, but I ain't trying to do that.

So so protect what you have, take care of it.

Or the older stations tell us put a coat on,

wrap your throat up, don't leave, don't leave your vocal

be be aware of seasons like this, sin us, be

aware of various conditions and take care of it.

Oh, I'm trying to go straight. Others, Wrap your throat up,

be careful of milk.

I just know well, I think preachers need a vocal

coach like singers.

Be careful of milk before you preach.

Be careful of dairy products because they close your throats up.

Chocolate closes your throat up. Get vocal trained. Know about

your force. If you abuse it, gonna lose it. You

abuse it, You're gonna lose it. Okay, don't walk out

with your forest open. Be careful of certain medications. Certain

medications close your throat. Certain medications dry out your sinuses.

Certain medications dry out your throat. Okay, you have to

know before preaching. Now, back in my day, I don't

know if they do this now. I don't think they

do this no more. But back in my day, if

I know I had to preach on Sunday, I go

into a strict consecration. No choking, no laughing, no hanging

out out late at night, just just as I'm in

strict consecration because I want when I stand up, God

to use me, and I don't want anything in the way.

I want to be repaired for what I did last night.

I want to be at Lord. I stand in the

bowl and at it to four o'clock because we had

a contest going on. Now I got the preacher, and

I'm not prepared. I'm not prepared spiritually, mentally.

Or physically.

I will tell you one night, Bishop Noran Jones was

preaching in the Complication and he preached and the pul

pit in d C. And I'm not telling the story

to tell you it's about this. How he was preaching

and jumped off the pool pit and landed in the

second row of chairs. Everybody fell out of the hole

of GIRs. I'm seeing there going, Oh my God, Jesus

Christ I the living garden, and everybody.

Fell out around them.

After service, we got a church that night, maybe about

eleven thirty or twelve o'clock midnight, and he said, shall

she going with us?

I said, going with y'all?

Were He said, well, they didn't rent it because those

a gym. We're going to play some basketball. I said,

play some basketball. This man just preached literally for two hours,

jumped down bless the people, received the offering. And now

he talking about going to play basketball. He said, come on, shouts,

you you gotta get with it. You gotta get with

the rest of us preachers. This is what we do.

I said, this is what we do. Needless to say,

I went with them to the gym, but I was

the one on the front bleacher sleep and they were

running full course. But when I woke up, mister Jobs

said something to me. He said, listen, let me tell

you something. To preach, you have to be healthy.

And I'm not just talking about hoopers. Preach.

You have to be healthy. You have to have your

wind together. You have to have stamma though. You have

to be a walker. To preach you going. You have

to make sure you're sugar it's regulated. You have to

make sure you took the meds. And you didn't take

the meds. They're gonna make you light headed because these days.

I told my church. I told my church, and I

mean it.

If I fall out, don't just assume it's the Holy Spirit.

Check my pulse. And while you're taking my pulse, if

you need two.

Cars, now, I want one cause I used to be

there in the old Church of I was preaching out

up on the pews, just walking the pews, playing for folk.

We had about two or three hundred people in the building.

It was only folks to have fifty folk in it.

Folks falling left and right. And I went down and

when I came to I was an ambuland, and I

went and speaking in tongues and I wasn't speaking in

tongues because the spirit was on me. I was like,

I know, y'all didn't let the embulance come to the

most holy church.

This is the church of deliverance, and y'all let the Ambuland.

When I got to the hospital, I had a female

doctor because they rushed me to high point, and she said,

you had a stroke. I said I had a stroke.

I said, I don't feel like I had no stroke.

They starts sticking me on my left side, and I said, Lord,

have mercy, because the sanction would have went to praying

for a couple of hours.

I would have lost all the activities in my limb.

So what I'm saying these says, don't.

Be so proud that you that you don't let especially

the person who's with you a company.

I need to preach.

No, Hey, I just kicked my shuldarn and it's real

high I'm setting fall out. I was having an airy

situation not too long ago, and I said to all

my people, look if I if I tip over, it's

because my equilibrium was off because I went to the way. Oh,

y'all sitting there, Holly, louis he in the spirit?

No, he died. Call the paramedics. We need to take care.

You have to be healthy to preach. You have to

be exercising. You need to be swimming, you need to

play tennis. You need to be winded. You need to

be able to breathe and control your breathing. I know

that's the stuff nobody talks about. All of that is

a part of preaching. And you got arrest things like

fisherman friends. Don't strip your throat with lemon juice, don't

strip your throat with lemonade.

Don't drink certain.

Types of liquids because all those things take from you

and dry you out.

Now you're trying to minister effectively, and it's not working, okay.

And like I said, people expect you. If I hear

you one time and I follow you somewhere else, I'm

expecting you to bring it. I call the second time.

They tell you, I am, And I'm not critical in public.

I say, preacher should never talk about another. Preachers give

downfalling or ministry, especially across the porfit.

Don't ever do that.

And we can talk in a setting like this, But

I'm critical if I invited you to preach in my complication,

and then I'm responsible for you to preach somewhere two

weeks later, and you preach the same sermon word for word.

Same inflection, same movement, I cant I preach it. I say,

she gonna say, was she getting ready to say? She

gonna lift a leg? Right there? She gonna turn around

the twitter? It was identical.

And I said that gone, oh no, but there is nothing.

And I learned from mister nor John's here. This is

something we disagree on. He said, shots, I only have

five messages and that's all I preach. I just depending

on where I am and Holy spirits lead switch it up.

And that's true.

No A preach the same message for one hundred and

twenty years.

He did not change.

It's gonna raine, y'all ready, come in the house. It's

gonna rain. I'm building an art.

It's gonna right.

So technically, you have to discover where your ministry is

and know what God has called you to preach. And

if you listen to I'm gonna get y'all secret today, suicide,

give him my secret out. If you listen to every

one of my messages, it's the same message. If you

go back and listen to every one of your messages,

it's the same. Whether it's a message about reconciliation, where

it's a message about salvation, where it's a message about women,

whether it's a message about men, it's the same message.

It does not change.

We just change the method because when you walk into

a house, you gotta know your audience. Now I call

you to preach on you. Thanks to the children's you

don't come in with a message up here and the

children sit there looking at you. Now you fastor did

something on you Sunday the last time you preached that

blew me out the water. And what he did was

he gave each one of our kids a tie and

they had to listen to his message so they know

when to get up, bring the tie and put it

on his neck.

And I was sitting there looking at.

I said, nephing, I don't know if this gonna work out,

because you know, sometimes children are there they don't co

operate with But they sat there and listened to his message,

and each one of them knew their cue. So that

made them sit there and listen, and it brought them

into the message as a willing participant. You gotta be

wise when we're talking to children. I ain't finna preach

you about reconciliation, regeneration and salvation and they gonna see

that like, I don't know what are you talking about it?

So if I'm preaching the children, I gotta go to

the store and get a little little job maynaigs.

I gotta get a loaf of bread. I gotta get

a pack of handle.

I gotta say, you know, turban crisis like a Seidlers,

you need an outside, you need an inside. I gotta

take the maynaggs out and.

Them kids say that ooh, ooh, here you was a manaid,

oh my god, yah, y'all see that.

And you now have drawn them in, and now you

have their retention and they're listening the normal listenings fan

of any adults ten to twenty minutes. If you don't

cap shoot them and bring them in, you've lost them.

And people sit in church all day long. But then

I cut that part of what I'm gonna do.

After two, I'm gonna ask us to terrator, do they't

want to hang out with us and go over to

near us?

Honey?

They're sitting there, but they're not listening. They're not hearing,

so you've lost your whole artist. The last thing I'm

gonna say in that line is this, protect your image

in the pool pen and outset of the pool pen.

I said like this to my.

Medicines, and they would tell you, don't ever let people

get a butt on you.

She's a good preacher, but honey, she cusses all the time.

She's a good preacher. Behind they let me tell you.

Something I saw all and they was going in and

out of the club. She's a good person, but honey,

she can't get along with nobody. She's a good preacher,

but you don't ever walk people to get a butt

on you.

When you enter into preaching.

Ministry, it changes your whole entire life.

They laugh at me because my drummer has.

Finally got me in some jeans and polo shirts, because

he'd brought me at least two or three hundred of them,

and he said fast, I don't never said you don't

never wear the.

Stuff that I got to get.

They want me on you Sundays coming head with jeans

and a T shirt, and my wife ain't gonna let

me do it.

First of all, Second of all, I have a image

to part.

We were doing a photo shoot and if photographer saying, dang,

fast a smile.

I said no, cause I don't want about to think

I'm weak.

I want nobody when I'm in the ministry saying you

cause you have to be particular about which picture you

put on the fly.

So I said no, I got a certain image. So

when he caught me smile, he says, he started clicking

real fast. But there is an ever and for years.

But when I first came to our church forty one.

Years ago, I was I was a young pastor, and

they didn't like it because I was young.

And one of the.

Main reasons that I dressed in future with blue pants stripes.

I had a yellow suit. I had a right through

the sun. I mean how many yellow sits.

Boy, and I came in the church with.

It all, and the older sights were like, oh my god,

what in the world.

And we invited it into our world. So you know

what they did.

They went to Sears department store and bought me two suits,

and they presented it to me on a Sunday morning.

And I put the suits all and I looked like

I was ninety ninety, but I caught the message. The

mess as was we need you to talk down.

We don't. We don't get our pastor walking around with

yellow and and that was the style. You can't always

adapt to the style. You can't always I'm going to

say something, and ladies, it's kind to be hard to say,

because ladies, I don't believe women should preach wearing pants, right.

I believe that that know it. That's what I said.

I said, I want y'all know difference between what I believe,

and I ain't.

Telling no loue on the Lord, the Lord, the Lord

say no that the Lord ain't say that. I said

that because it takes the focus off your preaching. I

have talk preachers. You don't wear sparkle it diamond shoes.

You don't wear things that are going to accentuate your flesh.

You don't wear stuff that's dangling, because now you've preaching.

And we said, oh Jesus, that he ring gonna fall off. No,

that showed us a big hoop. One is that real gold?

They showed me are signing and guess what I'm hearing nothing,

she said.

They we'll tell you one of those states we we

had our church.

Uh, And she still she is still she's a pastor

to this day, and she should come to our church.

I used to have us like almost at least every

other month. And one of my trustees, Uh, we were

in the office. I said, how'd you enjoy the messas tonight?

And you have to know Isaac. I said, I ain't

hear it. And that's just the way Isaac is. Those

people that know Isaac will tell you. He said out

of here. I said, you ain't hear He said no.

I said, all that preaching that woman did and you

ain't here.

He said no.

He said her dress was so tight all I could

see was her shape.

And I didn't hear none of the message. And he

just stopped. He went up went back to count.

I said, oh my god, that I thought about it.

How many people make that mistake. Preachers who preaching with

jeans skirts are and we can tell you have on farm.

So now we're no longer listening to the word of God.

We're praying, lordies, he's a full of skirt up.

Lordies. Hope the rest of the people don't see what

I see.

So you have to guard your image as a preacher.

You gotta come a go in Holy can I tell

y'all something else? This is me, This is not prove anyway.

I don't like passist utterers before or after preacher, because

when I'm going in to preach.

At a place.

Now I go on to Pasistuda, you gonna but how

you been well? What's going on with your ministerment?

No? No, right now I'm on assignment.

I'm waiting for the last words from God. I'm waiting

for him to confer what I'm gonna say.

And I don't have time for out of tell them

and conversations.

I have that.

Problem now with the person who drives me. I have

to remind him over and over again, don't talk to me.

Don't talk to me on the way to church. You

talk too much.

Shut up.

I have to threaten him. You ain't gonna drive me

no more if you can't keep your mouth shutting. Now,

after church, I'm good.

We went talking.

How was your wee ben? Oh my wee man doing?

How your week man? Let's go get a hamburger. It's

a different thing. But when you are the ministry assignment,

I want to stay focused. Where is the generation of

people who are so afraid of God? I don't want

to miss this boy that.

I don't ever want to go somewhere.

I tell people, if I ever stand up and the

Lord don't say nothing, I'm say the Lord ain't saying nothing.

Then the Lord watched between me and the gods because

because because.

We don't have to make up stuff, and they're a

lot of people making up God saying God tired of y'all.

No, God ain't tired. You tell him to him, you tired.

God ain't tight God, God, I hate to tell you

all this and that, but part tired of all of y'all.

What No, you you got the attitude God ain't tight,

and stop lying on him.

Stop saying God saying.

All this stuff he didn't say because you didn't like

the fact that the usher didn't have you a fan

you you would be surprised how much stuff it is

motivated off of emotions. So we don't wear tight clothes,

We don't wear sparkles, don't wear something new.

I got.

I'm preaching at Pastor Brooks, show up at a church.

Oh y'all, man, y'all sitting.

And all of a sudden, I'm I'm a wear a

new custom made tailor suit. It's a new shoes and

I'm up there. I can't even focus on my message.

And I'm like, oh, Lord, ded, shoes ain't the right side.

And I'm trying to. I'm trying to. I'm trying to

look at my maid script. Oh Lord is Lord. I

normally kick my shoes off in the middle of the after.

I need to kick these off.

Now, Oh Lord, Lord Jesus, if I if I stand

at me, I don't know.

Maybe that's in the water's colored.

You don't wear anything new when you're going to a

new place because the devil will use it to take

your focus off the world of God. So, uh with that,

so you protect your image, protect your image going in.

Okay, So let's let's let's deal with this whole concept.

Uh. There are numerous ways to formulate a message. Some people,

the Lord gives them a subject and they find a scripture.

Some people, the Lord give you a scripture for the subject.

Some people, the Lord will give you the message and

you take the message and you build around. Some people

are just writing fond of a song jumps out there.

So there are there are numerous ways. And normally, however

God deals with you.

He deals with you. Let me let me ask answer

the question.

I know somebody's gonna ask profassor do you have to

have a written down sun.

You don't have to, but that is my suggestion.

Until you become comfortable, I'm always afraid I'm gonna get there.

He ain't gonna say nothing, so I at least won't

know if he don't, if if he don't start out right,

I got at least a start, and then all of that.

You know, y'all, y'all have either said it or you've

heard it. I feel my health coming because it's it's

like a fire.

If you strike a match and light it, the oxygen

is gonna come to make it blazed. But if you

don't start it. Okay, this this, this is not in

the Bible. This is a fair phrase, but I learned

it in the old Church. If you made one step,

he don't.

Make it two.

So you got to at least start it for him

to finish it. So whatever your preparation style is, whether

it is uh, somebody, somebody.

Throw out the scripture SOBS twenty three learns my ship. Okay,

so we already know that's that's that's my scripture, all right.

There are two to three hundred ways a three hundred subject.

You can get. Yeah, give me five off office. Off

of the script. He's a good chapter. He's a good

ship you can depend on.

Following his leave, h you can depend on God.

Give me to keep he takes. Can I add word?

Good kid? Okay, So now I got a subject. I

got much.

Least thing I want to do now is build my sonmon.

What you will probably do is eventually get like me.

I got sermon books full of sermons. But when I

get up there and the Holy Spirit knows who's there,

instead of me reading it verbatim, because the Holy Spirit

can only bring back to your remembrance that which is

already in there, let me say it again different. You

gotta put it in there first. So I put it

in there is what I've written. Because your mind, according

to psychologist, when you start writing, your mind has to

engage with your hand.

So now I'm engaging with my spirit.

And while I made and do not make the mistake

of thinking because I wrote it, I got to read

all of it.

Man, right, write this down in your.

Paper real quick. When the Lord gives you an exit,

you take it. When the Lord gives you an exit,

lord take it. Don't make the mistakes some preachers make.

I'm at the exit. I got you the bath froom.

I said, I'm gonna keep on going, wait for the

next sex. A few minutes later, I see a sign,

say next excit one hundred and fifty two miles. He said, Oh,

Lord Jesus, sometimes preachers don't know how to take the exit.

I'm in the middle of my servant and the people

are jumping up and knocking over.

Chairs and falling out.

You think I'm gonna keep going for a twenty more minute,

just so I can conclude, Because y'all, y'all better sit down.

I wrote this.

I no you getting ready to be hear boy yourself

in a few minutes, because we've already got the essay.

What you want to make sure you have done is

you have gotten across what the message is. Okay, we're

talking about several things. We're talking about a text, the

Lord's my shepherd. We're talking about subject.

Any one of these.

I'm building a message, and we're talking about reading the

people and the Holy Spirit well enough to know when

your assignment has been completed.

I don't have to preach for two hours. Let me

add this. I'm all over my notes, but it comes

to mind now.

Also recognize what type of preacher you are, because not

everybody is a Sunday morning preacher. As some preachers man

in me, they want to preach on a Sunday morning,

but never as long as I'm alive, Well, he ever

preach on Sunday. Now, you can't develop into a Sunday

morning preacher because all you gotta do is work your craft.

But recognize everybody can't preach on Sunday mornings.

On Sunday morning, we got all kinds of spirits, We

got all kinds of people.

We got people with patience and without patience.

So we can't put you up there and let you

practice on a Sunday. The people who preach on Sunday

morning must be able to deal with distractions. You preaching

and that whole road, get up, grab their bag and

walk out.

I don't need you, like what's wrong with time?

Oh you're gonna walk out on it if you want,

because the next thing I get ready to do, they say, okay,

belove it, have a seat.

I'm gonna take over from here.

Because you have just killed the pastor's surface because you're

in your flesh and you're not experienced enough to handle

some of you. Some people doing that. When I walked

in the room, they stopped talking. They must have been

talking about me. No, I ain't been giving you that

much credit. I don't know what they were talking about.

Excuse me. I really don't care. As long as I

know I'm on God, so I'm not. So we can't

give people all. I had to tell one one prophet,

don't be afraid of their faces.

Can I share something with you all?

I stood up in my church two weeks ago, and

standing in front of my church, Wow, the Lord showed

me inter pews, it's a bunch of hurt people you

need here. And if I was emotional, I would have

got caught up in my emotions and would have messed

up my whole message and everything else. Because the Lord

will show you the needs of the people right while

you're looking.

At have to stay on task and on your assignment.

So we got our subject and those those these are

parts you should know. We got our We got our text.

Our text is usually a scripture me answer somebody's question. Now,

you don't always have to use a scripture. That's old church. However,

you need to be scripturally silent.

Tell it again.

You don't always have to use You don't have to

start out with scripture. There we tell you. Sometimes I preach,

I get my scripture at the end. Nowtimes I preach,

I get my subject at the end.

That's time I preach. I don't get our subjects. You choose.

Choose it from whatever I said, find it.

Because what the the subject is supposed to do is

remind you what the preacher said.

About the scripture.

Soon as I say, he's a good sheepherd oh lord,

the terroristies, Oh.

My god, remember that message like it was yesterday.

I remember, well, first Paul, the second point. It should

bring you to a place of recall. But it is

not necessary. So you got your text, got your subjects.

Now we want to work on the whole message process.

Again. I say, for some of y'all want to hear.

Hey, I generated it's not accepted. It's the Holy Spirit.

Depending on your as.

Soon as you get the invitation.

As soon as you get that's to say you, I

want you to preach next Friday, next Thursday.

Immediately.

What should happen is your spirit should start to become

a subject to the spirit of God, and most of

the time you you will get ten to fifteen missages.

You just don't write them down. So you know what

I do, I have a whole section. I normally keep

one of these with me.

I call it. I call it. They're my cheek notes.

What I do is if I'm driving and the Lord

give me a subject.

Or or or y'all know, y'all know he's a good shipper.

What I'm gonna do is come back later on. I'm'a

come back later on.

I'm aa come back later on and develop the message

before I preach it.

I'm not gonna just stand up. This is the missing Lord.

Gave it and go to ramble, because you get like

some people pray, and when you preach like this, we're

not listening to you.

Preach the Lord, Glory to God. I want y'all to

know glory to God. He'll be whatever you need. Glory

to God. I want y'all to know glory God.

The Lord told me to tell you how to get

glory God, just to be encouraged. You know what we're doing.

I said, okay, thirteen.

Fifteen sixteen, Oh, she said glory to God thirty eighth time.

And what you have just shown us is you didn't.

Study, you didn't have no prep time, you ain't spent

no time with God, and you're nervous right now.

You will always be.

I have been preaching now for forty three years. Every

time I get up, I am scared to them.

Man, it never failed. I ain't up, not one time.

Well I said, oh I got this to night.

No me and you, Not one time have I ever

gotten up and felt comfortable. Now, once you start and

the Holy Spirit kicks in, you can relax. And I'm

one of those preachers that looks for and you probably

out to the response of the people.

I need the amen. I need to come on, preacher.

I need to.

Folks standing up, and when you don't get it, it

sometimes will throw you again off.

Folks. Yeah, don't study to preach, preach to live.

Minnie, come to my house right now, going down, says

to my basement.

Go to the bookcase.

I probably have about fifty or sixty sermon books with sermons.

I have never preached before. I didn't here.

I'm talking about book. I'm talk about good sermons. I'm

talking I got everything in it. Sometimes I get finished preaching,

I sit down and said, oh my God, smifful time.

I just swim.

Oh my god, I should have said it.

If I said it would kill. I used to get angry.

Then the God because I get up there and I

have it so beautifully written, I was I was like,

uh h, Jesse text my words rhyme and went together.

I was gonna, I'm gonna get up there. I'm a rhyme.

It's gonna go to kill. And I get up at

the lawss. I'm looking at book today. Yeah, and I'm like,

you wait a minute, Lord. A couple of times, No, No,

that ain't what I want you to give. But I

get up.

Then I got to the point that I started I

would have a message printed on written now, and I

started signing it and giving it to my sons.

And then the Lord came and won me said don't

do that no more. It's your preaching.

A big percentage of it deals with your experience. God

needs you and your servant. I had a friend, We're

going to California. I had a friend and this is

this is back in the days. Because Noel Jones was

my icon. I could tell you every summer he preached.

I could tell you everything he was gonna say. I

knew it before. He was spilling out of his mouth.

And we were in California. One of my friends was preaching,

decided to preach a Noel Jones's son. Now I was

up on a full pen and say no, he ain't,

and he preached it word for word. I was good

until he got to the park.

Where he started telling my two nephews. Came to me.

I promised my two nephews, I gonna take them to

Disney World all His nephew fell out the bike and

broke his leg, but I told him, don't you wear it. Oh,

can't gonna let you down. I'm gonna make this up

to you. His subject was it was Nord Jones' fatas message.

He'll make it up to you.

I said. I said, I'm done. Don't I ain't know.

My friend had nephew the same name as Lordtone. I said,

I swear her Nord Jones tell that story about the bicycle.

So I so, I said, so you got He said, no,

that was what Nord Jones said.

I said, say what, Oh, we don't use other people's experiences.

You put you in the message. God would deal with you.

God would speak to you and give you your own examples,

and it is plagiarizing.

When I said, well, my two.

Nephews, he said, I said, oh my god, I heard

this before.

I haven't had preachers in our turn My god son

living in my house got look one son I never preached.

He got up, he got your subject.

I heard that something someone and it ain't nothing wrong

with using the subject that you've heard before.

What bothered me was as he started preaching, he gave

his introduction. I said, what man, I hear? I ain't

just heard that subject. I heard that introduction. I put

the subject in my phone and it came right off

the Lord, word for word.

But he had said it all night long, writing word

for word, so he can preach another man's. Your messages

are exclusive to you. God takes your experiences. And can

I mention the Smith without getting in trouble. Smith first came.

You have to know, this is Pastor Smith.

He's one of the fasts. He's he's a comedian. He's

a comic. He keeps us laughing and keeps us happy.

So when Lord called him the Prench, he came him

in and said, Pastor, the Lord that called me the preach. Okay,

because the Lord gonna tell the pastor before he tells

you anyway.

I said, yeah, I know indeed, y'all, Lauren told the pastor.

I don't know.

I can just be that serious and be that stuff

stuff in, just be that straight what The Lord knew

who you were when he called you. But I can't

stop him, you know, making people that the Lord knew

who you.

Were when he called you. He doesn't separate you. And

now all of a sudden, you got that because he

came in here. If he apple comes from him, stiff

starts and crazy we allow ways in the murdency room,

something is wrong. What are you saying, Pasif God does

not change your personality, he keeps your personality intact.

He knows who he called, you know why he calls you.

Not all of us can reach everybody, but all of

us can reach somebody. Right, you work on the people

God has sent you to reach, and don't worry about

the rest of it. So God reserves the right to

take control of your personality.

Now, the spirit of God that.

Lives inside of you is always going to be your refiner.

Spirit of God that lives in side of you always

gonna add to your message. It's gonna determine what you say.

It's gonna determine the things you have gone through in

your life, whether you like them or hate them. You

gone through them for your preaching moment. You had to

go through them. You will go through a whole lot more.

It ain't because they would don't like you. It ain't

because the Lord is trying to shake you up. It

ain't because your friends are sitting in the room saying,

ballad stare you down. It is for your preaching moment.

You have to know every angle of God. And I

will submit to you in this room that half of

us do not know half of God. So God has

to create a situation to show you don't believe it.

John.

John's dealing with Lazard, you know, John says us.

John puts in.

A test, Lazaris, whom you love, it's dead. And then

Jesus says, and I am glad, y'all know in twenty

first SENTI that's gonna be a fight, Jesus, Jesus one

that made at two steps? Did you say you're glad?

And then the text goes further than saying that Jesus

didn't love Laser, he loved Mary and Martha also, and

all of a sudden, John says, Jesus is not yet.

You know, no, that's another substantation I want when I

call him.

I want him coming, you know. I'm like, John, wait minute,

are you the missage?

Shall look for somebody else when I was out there

and else who he was.

But now I'm in present, you can't at least come

and see me. So he put all this.

He puts all this in the text because every test

that you preach needs some type of attention, it needs

some kind of static.

It needs to bother the people a little bit. He

doesn't get it a hurt. He actually waits three days.

Then he come into town.

Man Martha in the kitchen with the potato salad and

the macaroni and cheese, honey bake hound, the green beans,

and Martha looked out door. H he ain't gonnaieve it.

He come Jesus, May said, let me go out to

meet him. Mother said, you go hand on out to

meet him. But I don't want to meet him, because

you know what, he's too late now.

He might as well stay away here. And she said, oh,

she said, this is Jesus. She said, where was Jesus?

Four days ago, but I'm sure for them disciples told me.

They told him, and God forbid. The disciples came back

and did like some of us, And he said, I

am glad.

Wait for the time. This whole house soon. Did Jesus

first hold the threshold? Hey, don't get having funny?

Did you say, I am glad.

We won't get time to display.

I don't know what you're talking about, Jesus, but Jesus

has to disappoint his friends because he's getting ready to

reveal a side of him.

He's a You got a message right there.

Sometimes your disappointment is leading you to your discovery.

Sometimes God's got to let you down to lift you up.

Sometimes God's got to disappoint you so you know what

he can do and who he is. Jesus would have

to next, we need an explanation.

Did you know last Jesus with his smart self.

Saying, lest dead he's sleep.

Jesus, what you're just saying, he's it's a wrap that

could be my subjects. Come on the.

Post that don't rap them.

Put him in the grave, roll start in front of him.

And Jesus said, show me where you're laying might so.

You what no no, you should have been with undertakers.

You should have been in the possession with us, You

should have been with the rest of them. On you

ain't gonna come up and here, Jesus, are you praising Jesus?

You missed the funeral? Show me I love Jesus is

the cools. But he don't get up selling that. He

just show me where you later. And then she comes

out with the fact, I ain't gonna show you not

because if you had been here, my.

Brother lived and died.

Now I gotta be on you if I had been Jesus.

At that point I was saying, baby, I got other

folks to hear. How do you checked my schedule? Jesus

goes to the jo and Jesus, well, mm hmmm, he weep.

Have I been for so long? Right?

You don't know who I am? I am? But I

don't know I.

Raised the widow name son from today? How how quickly

you forget, yeh, what I've already done, sir?

Show me where you left? And I noticed that I

don't know? And now he's thinking right.

Four days later, with them disciples eating up our potatoes, I.

Would say that last piece of hand for myself and

Jesus says, last.

Come for.

Let me help you because I need you.

I need you to understand why we have to study texts.

This was not the only last.

One that.

Because the Bible days, some of the common names were

last week John, so so that had to be more

than one.

Last one was in the grave. But when he speaks,

he called all right, lass knows he's calling me.

When he starts talking this, lads will saying not me,

not me, not me, but you. And then that's a

tension in the text because when lads will come forth,

come on here, and.

Then it fell out that up and like hold on now,

whomen Jesus.

When Jesus comes back, he has to disappoint his friends

because he wants them to know I am the resurrect Yes,

you saw me, you saw the rest when I speak men,

lys so that has to be and you can also

apply that to your life because while you're getting frustrated

and feeling busted and mass know, what he's trying to

do is show you I am.

We say it, but we don't want to hear.

That's nothing too hard for about thank you. So we've

just built a whole. I just gave you a Revival's

word from Servia and what it takes to get there

is the research.

I got my scripture. What's what's my research?

Now, let's talk about researches.

When you deal with research, we cannot try to explain.

All scripture with new daytime thinking.

Yes, there's a woman, she goes to the well those

at twelve noons.

You gotta understand something viable days because you have to

know the customs of the time. You have to know

the habits, something there in order to preach and explain

the scripture.

Can't take every scripture so literal that you change its meaning.

Right in vital days, the women got the water for

their family. When they got the water, they put the

water pots on their heads. You don't believe me. Go

to the New Testament and.

Find Jesus when he's getting ready to grab the cold

fast to them, and you will see a man.

Carrying a water pot. So that was an.

Unusual thing or man. So he uses that as a

signal in the New Testament. But you have to understand

the Old Testament customers make a scripture with So she goes,

she's gotta go get the water for her family, gets

to the well and I gotta be honest with you.

He's really frustrating. She don't want to see Jesus or nobody.

But when she walks upon the well, he's a sitting there.

Twelve noon is the hottest part of the day. She

thought up she went at twelve noon, she went and

running to nobody. She gets there, heyk me some water.

Uh huh, give it a what, so, she says, And

she's going to get water. Listen to her response, because

you gotta read everything in the text. I don't have

anything to draw water with. He's really trying to say that, Jesus.

In a nice way. He's getting just just go on.

I'm frustrated, I'm busted. I'm sick of people, he said.

But you ain't got to draw that water. I got

some water, davy. If you drink it, you'll never thirst again.

Go on, honor that. So now he's drawn her in.

Jesus is not giving her pick up line. She is

not the whole we make her out right. The facts

of the text says.

She has been with.

That means she is right now. And I hear people

preach the text like she is right now. No, she

has been with, So it gives us a description of

her past, and then it says, and the man she's

with now, the one man that she's with now, Oh,

she's a whole of times, she's efflusive.

She has six women.

See that's what's from And I want all y'all women

in this congregation to know. That's what's wrong with us.

Maybe you are interpreting the text wrong.

Good.

Can't put your feelings, your emotions, you're off thinking mm

hmm into a text.

This is bes.

Darst reader that's prophetic. Darts to tell her her past

and what she was looking for at the fountain.

She finds it because no man can run into Jesus

and be the same. So Jesus talking to her and

he's trying to help her. The time is coming, and

the time is now. Well, you're gonna be able to

worship me anyway? What what? What?

What?

What?

Where?

When?

Hall ups, Hollo up, Hope, let's get this straight down.

This is the concept we worship God in the mountains. Lord,

when we want to see God, we go to the mountains.

And she said, no, no, no, I'm getting ready to

break down that whole system. I'm getting ready to destroy

that whole system. Because the time is now where you're

gonna be able to worship the Lord wherever you are.

He changes her whole course of thinking, and she becomes

one of the Bible's first evangelists because she runs into

the city saying.

Come see your man.

I heard people preaching tests because this ain't go People

weren't surprised. They know she already about the text, says

she five men and the lunch. No, you're missing the

beauty of the text by trying to put twenty first

century thinking behind Bible texts.

Can't do it.

Gotta know the customers of the time, got to know

the habits of Gotta research outside out of the Bible

so you understand what's happening. You gotta dig into the text.

This is how I do it. Let's say let's say

I had to preach up. Let's say I'm getting ready

for my Sunday morning message. I start on Monday.

If the Lord gives me the scripture first, I take

that scripture and I read it.

At least five times.

And at least four to five different biblical versions. I

may read it in good news. Let me translations. What's

my favorable today today's today's language.

Message? The message Bible.

I'm gonna I'm gonna read it. I'm gonna read it

in five different places. Now, just because I read it

in five different places, and the words change does not

mean a whole lot of different things. What I'm trying

to do is get, and it's simplicity with the text

to say, all right, if I do that, I may

wait to to I may not wait to I'm gonna

look at the scripture in a commentary. People like Rivers,

I don't like Ribery. He wouldn't say it. People like

white Clock, you like Matthew Hearing.

Generation. It's up to you.

Just read it in different commentaries. Okay, my third day,

I'm gonna look at.

The text, and I'm gonna read the context, which is

the scripture he gave me. I need to know what

happened before that scripture. Then I'm gonna read what happened

after that scripture, maybe.

Sometimes the next chapter, context, pretext, post texts.

I'm gonna read all of that, because sometimes when you

take a scripture out of texts, you try to make

it have a meaning that it really doesn't have. I

need to know the event before it's after. Sometimes it's

in the same text sometimes the book before. What was

Jesus doing before?

What was he doing? After? What happened?

Here?

Jesus turn his way going through the city, and a

rich ruler runs to him and the name of Jarious.

Jarious starts talking to Jesus. Starts talking to Jesus. First

thing he says is said he should come witness specialist kings.

Not one of those occasions. He don't get your hurry.

Jesus still analysis, yess Jesus, my daughter who is twelve.

Sick before Jesus gets in a hurry. Another when his

servants comes back and says, your daughter, I got Those

of you who are mothers who have children immediately can

be drawn into the pat At that point, can you

imagine having a child? You going to get Jesus to

come to your house and he doesn't get there in time.

Jesus just telling to Jerry's all of a sudden, stuff.

Touch me now, I know how the church is come

on with Jesus. We gotta crown on here today. What

you mean who touched you all these fun anybody could

have Jesus.

No, no, no, no, no no no, I'm trying to

I'm trying to explain something to you don't understand.

I'm trying to explain to.

You, is when this touch happened, something left me and

went into the first God. Now, and her name is Veronica.

We know her, We know her name. But we only

know her name.

Because we have gone to the works of Joseiphas, and

he says there was a woman in the city by

the name of Verona. Because you got cause, if you're

gonna preach, you gotta you gotta study them all than

just to buy.

You gotta you to be open, You gotta be wise,

You gotta read other stuff that compliments you'll buy. You

gotta sit down with a rabbi and find out what

the customs of the time on. So so now we

know her name is Veronica.

Veronica is trying to be hid, trying to be hid

because according to the Vinegars, a person who has the

issue that she has is not supposed to be in

fun right.

She can no longer dwell in the house with her

family if she sets on the stool.

If you can bear me out by just going to

the videgains, I promise, if he sets on the stool,

nobody in her house can set behind. Right.

We already we got the details because we know she

has spent all of her money trying to find a

cure and has got none better.

She's frustrated, Dan, I'm not supposed to in public. I'm

not even supposed to touch anything clean. But long, Jesus,

I got to go for this. I ain't spent all

my money, I spent all my time. I'm sick of

being sick.

I'm tired. I don't need nobody to see me. So Lord,

I just want to touch the him up. It's gone.

But when she touches it, virtual leaves him. M hm.

Garrison is trying to get in the cover. Come into

the house. And now Jesus stops and say, somebody touch me.

And it's oh, Jesus, Jesus, all these folks that you've

been touching that that's the church's response because we.

Always had Come on, Jesus, this is no, no, no, no,

something special happened.

And then.

He says to her, woman, you're no longer comfort. I

want you touch me. Healing.

She's healed from every not just the issue, from every

sick you gotta read from every sickness. She every.

Subject. One touch she touches the lowest part of his garment.

She touches the him.

Because Song says that the anointing flows from the top

to the bottom, so the most only place is noist.

I've been, They've be fair. This is a class, but

I'm teaching you'll now you also got you also to

do research to find.

Out the hymns of Jesus's garments, because it encompasses three colors.

M Red parl it perfect. People think Scharlar is the same,

but it's nice. Scharlars is a little bit rich those

those three. It is also the same colors that are

in the temple.

That's not by happeness. Then it is the same colors

of the veil that is not by happeness that comes

from you doing your research. The threads of the temple

have those three colors, but Jesus is wearing them in

the New Testament to say in the Old Testament, I

am the fulfillment of what you love.

I am in nothing.

And once she touches it, she connects from a New

Testament all because Jesus is saying I'm the fulfillment of everything.

On reading such, I mean so now.

Jesus is stopic on his way to Jersey's house, he's

been an interrupted subject divine interruption.

Now he's because because it depends on who you're talking.

If I'm if I'm preaching to a ministerial conference, I'm

not gonna preach Louis simple.

Preaching to a Sunday morning. I'm gonna preach a Sunday.

Morning subject preaching on a you know, I'm gonna preaching

different types.

So now, Jesus at the woman healed from twelve years

of mission.

And of everything she was healing. Jesuays, come go with me.

Jesus got Ronica has jerious mister Jarris's house. Those here,

Hey he pass out, that's a fact. After one.

Jesus watching the room almost like he did last. Stay

way and hold up, or I do anything else. Come on,

I need all of y'all, folks who don't believe get out.

My subject is.

Leave.

Jesus goes in.

And you gotta read the text because this story is

mentioned in pree texts, while being mentioned in three texts.

One of those texts, and that's why I want to

make sure I read it, because if I'm gonna preach it,

I want to see what Matthew says.

I wanna see what Luke saying, and I want to

see what Mark said.

So I'm gonna read it, and I'm gonna read the

same story in each book. I'm gonna read it through

the commentaries at least three. I'm gonna read it in

other Bible translations. I'm gonna look up the works that

Joe siphis to see by chance that he mentioned.

Yes, he does. And then I'm gonna watch what he

does in the text. Because in the text, after he

puts everybody out, he brings in the little girl's mother.

He plays in the fall and he speaks to the

little girl and she gets up. He takes her by

the hand, puts her in the hands of her mother

and says, feed her the all Potata said, take a

private chicken hand for everybody else they to put out.

It's for them. Now, I got a question for you.

Who is the little girl's mother not mentioned in the text?

H h You couldn't because if you look at the text,

he says, I'm restoring the family.

But you gotta look at you gotta you gotta look

at it in every book, because it's not written in

every book.

It's written in one book. He says, I'm restoring the family.

Yes, sir, I'm giving the mother back her child and

the husband back his wife.

M she's been put out, who had this issue? Because

that's it on the stool, and I leave the bed

with us, not be around her children. Now, God heals

the daughter, takes her in her hands to hear brown

feed the side. That's called inference, infer And you can't

preach that that way.

You go.

You go go someplace and say, oh, my mother, that's blasphemy.

You got to prove it, tell me.

So let's deal with the fact that some informations the

Lord gives us is just for us. Some information the

Lord gives us. It's for us to share. Some information

the Lord gives for us. And don't make the mistake

of thinking everything you study now you gotta put it

in your manuscript right right, because now you up there

for three and a half hours, I'm gonna compare him

and the synagogue and we're like, but this have to

do with what you're talking about. You lost us, So

some information God will reveal it. It's only for you.

Sometimes when I write a sermon, I have four or

five pages of notes.

That's just for me, and I do that because I

don't know which way the Lord's gonna take me, and

if you decide to go right, I want to be

able to go right with him.

Instead of going left with him.

So I got these whole three pages before I ever

got to my sermon of notes on the research I

did on the text.

Every all information is not for you questions for you

to share. Some information is for you just to know.

Some information is for you to go back later on.

So there are official words for everything I've just done. First,

the first word that we want to discover is howolytics. Howmolytics.

Howmolytics is the that is the technical name for the

art of preaching, and preaching is just that.

It's an artist. You are an artist here and Mitchell says,

you're drawing a picture you want other people to say.

I'm putting myself in it, I'm using my body land,

I'm letting my voice rise and home, I'm getting your attention.

I'm not standing in one let, I'm moving this side.

I'll watch it do.

An illustration because Steinberg says people learn one of three ways.

Some people learn by listening, some people learned by seeing,

and some people have to put hands on okay, I'm

gonna listen.

Is in your notes.

I'm just I'm just not going straight down, all right.

So if I'm preaching concerning I don't want to leave

the people out that learn by seeing. So I might

get up like nord dogs hood. Come brother, come on, brother,

come on, brother, shut up here. Put three people up here, chauls.

Y'all that know how to.

Listen are getting the message. But the people who got

to see something.

I believe three men pot on the cross. One man

died in his shin, one of them died for sin.

One man died because of saying.

Now my message has become illustrated. I'm using an example, preacher.

I said, yeah, what's wrong with some of y'all?

These days? You just like this cook half full? But

Jesus wants your full love to hold it. Girl, you

want your feel to the breath. I'm trying to draw

you and official. I throw towels and my nurses go crazy.

They said, if you throw one more towel, after we

just bought twelve towers last month, you done throw them

all out. I kicked my shoes off. I tell you

that that excuse I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna use

this word, but I don't mean it. That's a gimmick

because I know when I'm preaching, people are wondering people.

Some people say, but he ain't preaching to them. Shoes coming, maybe.

Looking a lot.

You know, din go.

You preaching now fast.

Some people say, rock them, rock them and shake them,

shake them and rock them, rocking, shake them.

Some people say, we got through John't shake that hand

like you're gonna shake it off. Some people say, here's

three folks are hot. Some folks say, touch your neighbor. No,

that is the are a preaching.

That's what makes people not go to sleep on you.

That's what That's what makes people say, gonna do next? Right,

she didn't what she gonna do next? Lord see, I

gotta watch this preach that crazy. But you've drawn them in.

Let me tell you the Holy Spirit does not need

in it man. People need them right. People need illustration.

People because we listen on a flat tone, needs something

to happen.

Make me not stop listening. But you want to feel

our people don't do it as much? Am I?

No time I was preaching my commanded the Pool of

Offense thirty on the thirty eight long years.

And one of my ministress illustrating my subject was I'm

right on the edge. He was laying. We had a

Baptist church Penson, North Carolina. Lad right on the edge.

He messed up my whole message. Before I can get

to delivery. He had jumped up and went the souf.

That's that's when you know you had an exit and

you don't kill on the right. So I just got

the message. That was it. You got the beause he didn't.

He didn't killed my message. And what I what I

have found out with me it is when the when.

I'm preaching and the Lord tells me to use the

person right, it's usually the person that he really.

Wants me to use.

That's why they get happy and they can't and they

go to the leaping and all that kind of stuf.

Just just forget it.

Okay, y'all got the message.

Because the Lord will leads you to people who you're

really there to pre school. Oh, in the study section,

I got the text reading it, done my homework, in

the commentaries, I done my background.

I take. I want to make sure. The second word

that you need to know is firma nudist therma. Nudist

is Fromaeuticts. Is making sure.

You have.

Rightly interpreted the text. Does it mean what you said?

How much of you have you added? And it is

making sure you don't mispreach the purpose of texts. I

tell my church three things. All scripture is inspirational. It

is given by the Holy Spirit.

We all can said on it. Some has written to us,

some has written for us, and then some is about us.

We make the mistake. But did I say, oh, Lord

told me in my mother's womb he for me. No,

that ain't what he told you. That that's a samen.

That doesn't apply to all of us, not only a

lies to Samuel. I can't take ownership of what he

said to Samuel.

The preachers do it. And you're wrong. God ain't saying

to everybody in your mother's belly for you were born.

Is that true? Yes, it is true. But he didn't

say that to you. We do the same thing, we said,

Jesus said, And Jesus ain't say, Paul said it.

He beget happy, and we said Jesus said, no, No,

don't get so excited and so caught up that you

preaching and make Paul Jesus.

Paul said, I deal with people all the time. I

was in the whole room of.

Folks at Tommy tell Us is homegoing at y'all at

the place y'all have church. I asked the question, who

made you a Lord made me a vire?

I said, hold on, lordly got nothing to do with that.

You don't care and you don't have no scripture to

prove that.

The Lord makes Bishop Paul came up with that, right,

Peter came up. They are structuring the church. Jesus and

God ain't got nothing to do with that. Where man, pastor,

are you I need you to deal with If you

you call something, yes, the Lord does call something, but

that's through Paul.

That's the structure of the church.

And I can't get up and say what Jesus said,

Jesus made me an a bost No, no, no, when

this is St. Johnson said to me, I'm gonna lay

my hands on you in the front of your apostle.

You know what I said, No, Chao, the shouts. You

don't hear me, I said, I hear you. I don't

know about this right here.

He said, Well, you're already doing the job. I said, okay,

I've been doing a whole other jobs for a long time.

He said, all I hear your resumetion. You think I'm

gonna charge you some money? It wasn't my man, I

know how much is this gonna cost me? D said,

I got to obey God. So I did my research,

my research from.

I was in an.

Organization in the church that did not and to this

day does not believe in apostles because the original definition

of apostles, they had to walk with Jesus.

Somebody just say, right now, wait man, wait minute, wait minute,

because what about Paul? What about Paul? He walked with Jesus.

We got knocked on this walk with You.

Had to see Jesus do miracles, had to be present

at his death burying reservation.

Okay, I didn't know how that fit in the twenty first.

Century because I've seen them, but I ain't seen them, right,

I heard them, I ain't heard them. I didn't think

I fit the qualifications until I learned through research that

we are not first generational apostles, but fourth generational were

able to be apostles because what happened was in the

Bible days, they went from being disciples, which is supposed

to be learning about Jesus learning about Christ, learning about Christianity,

and when Jesus left because of the acts experience, they

became apostles.

Then came this. I mean, y'all just lost the way.

So the apostles have a function in the church, but

we are not the original apostles.

Needlessly we walk around like we do original apostles black

cluding tables for me.

No, you'll have to understand things in their context. Then

you'll understand the functionality of how things are. With that,

you always want to make sure when you're doing a scripture.

Herm a nudist, I am interpreting the text correctly, the

whole book of near minds.

They might need to break. Let me let me, let

me give you all about ten minutes breaking. May have

to use the restaurant. It is right around the corner.

They have doughnut they have. I'm really about thirty minutes

from being finished, I promise, But I didn't want to

take him a cause I've been sitting in class sometimes

to say I wish he was just.

Gave him mine rest for three minutes. I got to

finished twice to long, I.

Think five o'clock. So I want to Deorge pick A

questions because I don't want to leave you. I can.

I had a couple of weeks ago had to teach

Himinard and they didn't tell me. I had to fill

up three and a half hours.

Because actual supposed to be two classes, but it wound

up being one class.

But nobody moved. Pace was fast, and I so I

sold my point being I could. I could do this.

All day long, I was explaining, you began the fastest, fastest,

faster Brooks. I was just plains with them that And

I don't mean this in a negative way.

Here's Ago when I first came to high Point, and

to be honest, and she doesn't know this, I'm I'm

gonna say this about your wife and color her. She

is one of the reasons why I stayed and didn't

give up. We're on west Wood Street and it was

the old folk against the other folk, and I had

made up my mind, this is my last day. I'm

gonna kick the table over after this meeting, I'm going

out the door. I'm never coming back.

The Lord is cursed for you to send me the

high Point.

And she got up and began to talk. She made

me feel so guilty. He's like she she sounded like

the disciples when Jesus. Jesus comes to disciples, Disciples, he said,

he said, the rest of them and left y'all, I'm going.

To when I'm saying, where can we go? You got

the words of eternal life by the.

Time she got finished talking and testifying and crying, oh,

I nowhere else.

So she she is really one of the main reasons.

And the Lord is blessed them, is giving them great

success in their ministry. Haven't seen everything God's going to

do for me, But there are certain people in your

life that.

You know you are because of that.

But back then, when I first came, the Lord said

to me, you will be given to the body of Christ,

and you will be able to.

Now people said started leave my church. At first, I

got to be honest with you. Hold on, Lord, save

me from a house fool and folks just leaving and rolls.

And the Lord said, remember what I told you when

I called.

You told you you would prepare many who will serve

and earn the places.

The Kearneys, Uh, Jeremy say, he's in China right now.

He's in China. He spends most of his time in China.

He accredits. Uh, we used to have leadership at eight

o'clock on Sunday morning. You're a leader, you had to

be there.

At a oh two.

We locked the door, knocked the door, so if it

was hot, you stand outside beming on the door.

And I told anybody, I dare you to go to

that door. Then you got fined like thirty to fifty

dollars lord for various things. And this young man came

from durm, North Carolina.

His teachers told him, you will never graduate in high school.

Then secondly teachers to Hils, he'll never graduate college.

He now has his master's degree in engineering.

Holloyd. He is one of the top officials of Kim

General Motors. When I first started calling, he was in

his office like, why are you whisperings that you woke

me up? Did nothing when he first got them, but

now they sent him to China. He's running their division

out of China. His brother graduate Lakeith Martin and make

bombs to the United States. He's the head trustee at

a great amount Calvary d C. So you never know

whose lives you're going to touch. And then there's a

bunch of pastors, a bunch of elders, a bunch of

dcons who are at other people's churches. So I recognize

that one of my colleagues is to see Body of Christ.

So I go around and that's what I do, not

only for us, not the Holy Church, for charge a

bunch of people. But the Lord said, because my stuff

got set outside. They literally set my stuff outside two

am in.

The morning, I know about any notice of One of

the mother Pains grandsons was coming in from the club.

Called his grandmother two in the morning, said y'all having

the y'all sell at the church. Saying no, she gets

up out of her big goes over there and calls me,

ain't gonna leave it, said, I go there. And because

I was broken for three years and needed the healing

and deliverance, we had to going from place to place.

When the Lord healed me, he.

Says, now you gotta get back on your sign. Now

you gotta get back to equipment the body of Christ.

It doesn't matter to me what branch of God you're in.

What matters to us is that you are effectively operating

and work, and that's our intentions.

So you're here, and especially if you register, you'll hear

other classes and things that we're going to set.

UH. We're gonna do a success Pastors conference, so just

to train, just to help. I think that we're in

the day where people just need to talk. I see

so many fastors.

I have what four pastors fund, so many fasters, So

many people just need.

To talk, just need to express themselves, ask questions, have

a platform where they feel safe for they can excuse

I'm gonna say this, where they can get naked and nobody's.

Gonna So that's what we're endeavoring to do something. This

is our first session I had. I don't.

One of my sons, James Junior, he would tell you

I'm not a wiz and electronics.

I don't planning on anything. All I need to be

able to do is Christmas button and say hello. They

so they have to keep up with.

But yesterday I had, I know to the point that

I had to take my phone and put it back

on the charger.

I had between twenty five.

To thirty pastors and people just calling and who's the

sessions for them?

Can I come?

I'm a pastor for the UH, and like I tell everybody,

is open to whoever our prayers that we say something

that will help you that we answer some questions that

you have questions.

Oh, let's get back to this question. And if I

have a questions and sometimes you get up, go ahead,

okay you.

Different friend? Yes, study, how do finde what is not?

I mean, becide it?

Not even with this picture? How do we do? What

books are not good for study? Yes? Oh, you gave

me uh when you gave me this text, it is

a perfect text. Because what you do when you go

to buy a.

Bible or commentary is you always go to the twenty

third and you read a commentary or you read a Bible,

and it is the opposite of this. It's not a

good book. That's for commentarists.

That's for there.

Now, when I when I went to school, there was

one hundred and fourteen translations of the Bible.

You know how men there are now.

Eleven thousand translations of the Bible. Right Bible, Women's Bible,

Devorcet hollos in there. So when I when I'll get

ready to buy a Bible, I go to twenty third song.

If it says something that is against this, because some

of them say.

He is my shepherd. If it doesn't say the Lord

is my shepherd. It's not falent books. Because we are

in an ai generated society.

It's harder to do because I can tell you I

have purchased at least five books that deal with the

episcopacy that I wouldn't give to my dog to use

the bathroom. Because everybody writes, but they don't know what

they're talking about.

Have you all seen any about we have.

We have a big controversy right now because preachers are

supposed to wear the crosses in their pockets, but now

we've got a whole generation that's wearing them hanging down here.

There's a big controversy because hanging them to your side

is not acceptable because we put it in our pocket

as it's close to our heart. So when you know

things like that and you start to read parts of books,

leave it in the bookstore because you know it's got

a lot of county Riary. Uh. But then if I started,

if I started putting Riary, which is a commentary of

the Bible, I started putting Riary down. If you know

the history of the Bible, it's gonna make you nervous.

Constant King is working with the King. King is not saved.

He ain't thinking about he ain't got all of those.

He just says, take these books, panitize them, and put

them together. Sanitizing is simply deciding whether or not they

have the doctrine of the church. But there are at

least thirty lost books of the Bible and dress Dorcas,

so that if we wanted to, we can prove that

women were bishops during.

Jesus' times, right.

Inference, I just taught your inferences. In inference, Aquila and

Priscilla start the church. In emphasis, no church is started without.

A woman's health, and it started in their homes.

So for us to sit here in our open scripture

where Paul said to be a bishops you must be

the husband of one wife, I mean a woman can't

be aficient.

No, that excuse me, you stupid Paul is a chauffiness smell.

If by the day right now, if I take you

over there, ladies, you're gonna have to put something over

your head.

Or be killed, or be killed third and third world countries,

women are property. You have no rights, no right.

So you can't take the Bible and interpret it in

American without understanding the customs of the time. So of course, okay, Uh,

we gotta deal with Corinthics. Paul said, don't let the

women say nothing in the church. I wish I would.

I wouldn't handle church.

What do you actually saying was come on, men, stand down,

Come on, women stand down. Let your husbands come to

their place.

So we don't drown them out. So you got you

got to right leave devide the world of truth. And

some people don't do it because we don't. We're lazy.

We repeat what we've heard. That's that's what it is.

That's what it is. Somebody has said it for a

long time. If I had heard her say the fifty

second gotta be right.

No, No, I kept my pastor mission Herd and Williams

who married Shelley season He told us, don't take nothing

I say for granted. And because I travel with him,

spend time with him, I was just big right hand,

the servant.

The shout.

Jesus said, the greater works than he shall I do?

What's greater than human? What's greater than raising the bed?

You're right, what is greater than that? But Jesus did

say greater work, so it's got to be something greater

than that. He would challenge us, and these days we

have nobody challenging us. Nobody something is wrong. Can I

tell you something?

The people in the few no more than us because

they studying this is right.

I ain't gonna take it for grant's I respect you.

I know what you're saying, but that's true.

So now we got to be doublely equip The reason

why I am a good preacher and a good teacher.

One lady, her name is Deborah Dickerson. Yes, sir, he's

luneous to that till she pops up. Now she's about

seventy eight, seventy nine years old. I was fourteen year

old in the church, and she said, yet they're cashing out.

Death ain't know what they're doing. You might want to

shut them down.

They made me the Sunday schoo teacher of the dumb

class at fourteen wow, chasing my class, and only too

one Sunday for her to turn me apart and rip

me up.

I just should never do it again. My wife will

tell you. So now my habit is. I went home.

I was set on the floor on Sunday night fifteen book.

My wife wild coming as an old Jesus, what is this?

Didn't you take him to another room.

No, I'm sitting on the floor, and I want to

make sure that what I teach is correct.

And if anybody comes against me, I can prove what

I say. Answer. Yeah, that put the fire, God and

fear end me to the point that now when she.

Goes around, she goes sen certain see the prophesy either,

don't say nothing either take a whoa. But she she

gives me all the respect any person in the Yes,

I have been tested right in the fight. Those are

the people we need leading the church. There is a

whole new I don't know if y'all know. Whole new

thought of the least heresy is out here that if

you don't know the truth, you will be convinced that's truth.

So you gotta study the shot. So yeah, so uh

And like I said, just just the history.

And if you go to seminary, seminary is usually somebody's cemetary.

They gonna kill every thing you thought. My godson went

to Suke. They took God away from him. I said, Lord,

I don't know if he's gonna recover. They told him

that Jesus was not the son of God. They ripped

his apart. By the time they put it back together

because they want you to be able to It's called apologics,

being able to defend. And a bishop is supposed to

be able to defend the word of God. He's supposed

to stand up and say it ain't true, and they'll

tell you.

Uh, Carolina. They to think I was crazy. I had

a preacher. Preacher I got in the middle of revival,

say the lovers, prince, this is the last night of revival.

The Bible's cancer. This young man in office said, who's

your coming. He said, well, well, to be honest with you,

I left my pastor. U.

I said, that's the problem. But then we didn't have

all this technology. I said, Okay, your flight leaves on Friday.

At the hotel, we're gonna feed you for the next

three days.

He's gonna be a good offering. But you're not preaching

to my congregational moment. That's good. And they just think

they used to think I was crazy.

I had.

I had a group around ourstle of battle. Uh, and

we we almost fought that night, I mean real fight,

because they're trying to get her to get the hold

of hoasts.

They all around her. If my blad breathfast, I said, wait,

my mother pastor who out the way. She ain't gonna

get the hold of y'all suffocato. She's gonna die in here.

The priest said, you may tell me this my service.

I said, but this is my church. As a matter

of fact, service is over. It is day.

I went to uh hey, douncle Thomas h husband and

he was still he was still on the front row.

You still kicking. I said, yes, sir, gonna be here

to the little car. He looked at me like, I

you remember what you did to me? Yeah? Good, I said.

We we ain't better. Rehas nothing what was and what

is now?

He is. I'm not. I'm not mad at him different things.

But when the Lord puts you in charge of a house,

I'm responsible for what. Look y'all need you need to

be my wife.

We don't eat out of dirty place.

I get so embarrassed when I'm in a restaurant because

she's like, okay, put mine breaking, stop from.

Breaking classics. I'd be like, oh, I'll be like, oh

my Jesus tried. If it ain't right, girlfriend sending it back.

I said, they're gonna mess around spinning your stuff now.

She said, I would they would so so we are

responsible for what the people JE was. I'm gonna say

everybody doesn't preaching my chother.

I don't invite people out of friendship. I did that.

They had to sit and listen to a whole lot

of folks. One day they can passed. Do you owe

anybody else some of the stuff you bring up in here?

I asked you to preach. You should feel honored. And

we got a school preacher. Have them mad at me

now because I won't let him preach.

I don't even realize they should have been here today.

You got because a lot of people things, you know, Wow,

they damn don't need UH said a minute. I already

had that class. I'd have been on your teach. This

ain't the same teacher. It's a different day. You gotta

move with the time.

I had one some of that, you know some of that.

So some of that's three or four people preaching or

platform service. And the person had uh ten fifteen minutes.

I got up, I ran in the bell. First, you

got gonna shoot the bell. I got wait a minute past,

I got some more to set.

You better say anything. You gotta say that. This is

the last time you're gonna.

Say because if you can't be subject to the house,

you can be subject to your leader.

You can be something spirited.

God as you already out of control, said oh yes.

My question is how do you know? How do you

go about learn? Teachers? Everybody don't college, So how do

you go about knowing that?

What you do is I tell people to know what

you're supposed to do? Go back to how you will call.

Peter has denied Jesus. Lord, come and Peter love it, Lord,

love it, feed my Peter comes back again, Peter, you

love it.

The Lord. I'm sicking you asking me. I just answered

this yesterday.

Lord, I said, feed my lamb. Don't come to him

a third time. And he only does that because he

knows Peter's going to deny him, so he's given him

solid evidence to use against Satan. Sayan can't say you

denied Jesus.

That he said. I also he said yes to the calling.

So he comes back and says, feed my sheep. What

he was saying to him was, you're going to preach

as a shepherd.

Always look at the call, look at whatever calling of

anybody in the Bible.

Pull up anybody your what God wants you to do?

Is in your calling. Now, this is this is the problem.

Sometimes God is calling people to be jealousies and they

don't wait for the instructions.

You got who you said, Kevin, I run. I didn't

hear the rest of the rest of the instructions are

I want you to clean the church? All I heard

was my name.

I didn't wait for the instruction. So you have a

whole lot of people who are not called to the

fool pit. They missed their calling because I heard my name.

But if you go back, if I was, if I

was to go to any person, he say, explain your calling.

Tell me how you were call.

Some people call to children's ministry, some people call to

minister to other women. Then you only have to look

at the things that happen in your life. Because He's

gonna quote those he called. He qualifies, he justifies.

So if you are a woman, you've gone through a

lot of challenges as a woman, chances.

Are God is calling you three other women hoses, take

off your shoe the ground out here, standing on this

holy ground, and the Lord speaks to him out of

the bush and makes him a liber raider. He gives

them strict instruction, go tell Pharaoh. Now see, I told

y'all the Lord, and hear me when I say this,

so you understand I do not separate God from Jesus.

Just talk this to my people.

Lash In the beginning God, the world was with God,

the Word was God. So when you see God in

Genesis is really Jesus, and both will.

They're the same. He says, all through to this, I

ain't my father one, but you can't. You can't freaks

that just understand the concept. So when I understand that.

Jesus has been, Jesus will be, Jesus will forever be,

I understand the workings of Christ. We get caught up

into my new details. Mary and Elizabeth, see jam both

all are pregnant, and the baby leaps in their wont

what makes that baby leap in their wont.

So the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit? But it has

not come yet, because it they't come into Acts chapter two.

So if I go by y'all thinking the Holy Spirit

is only New Testament, but not truth to the Genesis.

Because somebody says, the spirit of the Lord moved on

to mee.

So the same Holy Ghost that comes in Acts two

if if anybody told me a little lady.

Who was in charge of the youth department of mounth

Cal Holy Church. She's forty years old, but she's in

charges department. Everybody complain and they said, how you gonna

be in charge of the youth department at forty years old.

I'm a convention, I'm seven. She takes me and said,

come up, son.

Well yeah, hands me up in a chair. You're gonna

be a great preacher. I'm saying, I don't know what

Sometimes it is the people around you who solidify your college. Jesus,

and this is why we have consecrations, this is why

we have public services. Jesus is on her. John already

has his church. John's church got more p the diseases,

John got disciples TODs.

Right.

John's touch is busting out the saints. Jesus comes down

while John is baptizing, people say you got to baptize me.

Don said, oh, oh, don't you know who you are?

Man?

I ain't been a bat, he says John. John, come on, John,

you have to baptize.

But he's saying to him, it is necessary because you

want pastors who have a good reputation, who are quality pastors,

who have great standing ministries.

To say she's good.

Now Jesus steps in the water because John really wasn't

gonna baptize. John now baptizes him. And when he comes up,

you hear a voice.

never fight bad.

She took I promise you if you asked her right now,

asked him that didn't like everything I said.

Answers I probably didn't understand, but Lord, you put me

under this man, I'm gonna take it.

people that God advanced. Before God started doing anything for me.

I had to sit and make another man great.
