  1. Hallelujah. Get your bibles. You can take your seats.

  2. We honor the elect lady of this house and those

  3. women who.

  4. Make up the Queen's court.

  5. All of our ladies who are married to pastors, bishops,

  6. we honor you. Pastors and elders, we honor you on

  7. this morning. Get your bibles quickly. There are two scriptures

  8. that will draw our attention. The first is Joshua chapter seven,

  9. and the second one will be Matthew. They give you, Marco,

  10. Matthew gave you. Matthew, I gave you, Luke. Okay, it's

  11. in this, not the gospels. Luke five.

  12. That's right, Okay, all right, listen and the ushers can go.

  13. Ahead and take your seat and want to deal with

  14. this in a different way. God is specific about all

  15. of the instructions he gives to the people of God.

  16. I am in this our beginning to understand how God

  17. works and he operates.

  18. You don't want to take notes. I preach. I'm grateful

  19. for you who support it.

  20. On Wednesday Thursday, one of those days I got it

  21. mixed up.

  22. I was supposed to preach one day and when a

  23. day early.

  24. But I found it necessary to understand that a lot

  25. of us don't understand everything that pertains to our Christianity

  26. or why we are in church. In other words, we

  27. have the propensity to talk a good game, but what

  28. do you do when the things that you talk about

  29. are not working for you? We shout, and sometimes we

  30. shout over situations, never dealing with what we really need

  31. to deal with.

  32. A fast flake was moving in such a great way.

  33. I wanted him to keep going, because unless we understand

  34. where we are and where we fit in Christendom, if

  35. we're not careful, we're going to become victim of what

  36. we find in this an optive Gospels, the Anactive Gospel

  37. says that it is the time of the rapture, it

  38. is the time of God's judging, and all of a sudden,

  39. there appear before him people who look like they have

  40. it going on, look like they're successful. And the Lord says,

  41. depart from me, I never knew you. Now there is

  42. a problem because and I do this every once in

  43. a while, because I want to challenge you, because you

  44. say God knows everything. How can a God who knows

  45. everything say to a group depart from me, I never

  46. knew you. It is a theological question but it is

  47. also a question of confidence that.

  48. Makes good sense.

  49. How can a God who made the world, how can

  50. a God who hung the stars in the sky and

  51. put the sun in its place and cause the whole

  52. earth to come into order, declare out of his mouth.

  53. I don't know you, because I was.

  54. Taught as a small child sitting in Sunday school with

  55. that little card that they used to give us. God

  56. knows everything, but I can tell you at least five

  57. to six things he does not know. God does not

  58. know sin, God does not no failure, God does not

  59. know irustration.

  60. But I can't deal with that, Pastor.

  61. I have to deal with the fact that the scripture

  62. says I have a high priest who can be touched

  63. with my feelings of infirmity. I want to serve a

  64. God that when I need him, he understands what I'm

  65. going through. So the Gospels have to be unfolded to us.

  66. Matthew wants us to look at the royal aspects. To Matthew,

  67. he is king of kings, lord of lords, He's royalty.

  68. Mark wants us to look at the fact that he

  69. is our suffering servant. Luke wants us to pay attention

  70. to details and understand.

  71. Not only is he God, he's man.

  72. John wants us to know that the word becomes flesh

  73. and among us. So the Bible wants us to identify

  74. with someone who is bigger than we are, because if

  75. you start to deal with who he is, you would

  76. never be able to come pass all the things that

  77. he really is. He's a dunni.

  78. He's Lord, and he's master, he's teacher, he's kingsman, diva,

  79. he's deliverer, he's sanctifier, he's wreckedifire I know some of

  80. these words, y'a ain't never heard before. He's propituation, he's

  81. my sanctification, he's my edification.

  82. So when I.

  83. Look at who he is, the only way to solve

  84. it and really put it into frame is.

  85. I have to deal with the fact that he's sovereign.

  86. Excuse me, I got happy. I'm trying to teach it.

  87. I'm trying to stay calm, but I feel something creeping up.

  88. My spy.

  89. I have to deal with the fact that he's God

  90. all by himself and he does not need a committee,

  91. he doesn't need anybody to sanction and what he does.

  92. I have to deal with the fact that he's so

  93. much God that when he walks, his footsteps hollow out

  94. the valleys and causes the mountains the bullsh I have.

  95. To deal with the fact that he's so much God.

  96. He can be here, he can be there, and he

  97. can be everywhere.

  98. I have to deal with the fact that he's so

  99. much God that he can cause the sun to shine

  100. and the right and depot at the same time. Y'all

  101. say he's beating the devil's beating his wife.

  102. I don't know if that's true. I just know he's God.

  103. He's unsearchable, he's immutable. I may be too deep for

  104. a few folk. Right now, he's.

  105. The only wise God.

  106. I'll save you to him, be glory, to minim in power.

  107. I can't allow a day to go by without blessing him.

  108. So I wake up in the morning and I say

  109. thank you.

  110. I get beside of the bed before I get ready

  111. to go to sleep and say thank you. And I

  112. realize it's not the alarm clock that costs my name,

  113. but I recognize us that every.

  114. Morning he takes his finger of love taps me. Because

  115. if he doesn't tap me, I wouldn't wake up.

  116. He's gone, but he's specific I'm purposely doing this. I

  117. don't want about to think when passonal loss this way,

  118. he done lost it. I know how to preach when

  119. it's time to preach. This ain't time to preach.

  120. He's God. He doesn't change. He's God. He does what

  121. he wants to, when he wants to, how he wants to.

  122. He's God. He'll come in the middle of a situation

  123. and tear it up just when I thought things were

  124. working out here, and work things out just when I

  125. think they're tore up.

  126. He's gone.

  127. Sometimes, while I don't like the fact that he's gone,

  128. there's nothing I can do about it. I can't change

  129. it because I'm serving something that's bigger than me. So

  130. this becomes a problem in church because what I have

  131. learned in all of my years in church, and I've

  132. been in church all my life, is we get used

  133. to hearing stories. You heard about Daniel in the Lion's Den.

  134. I hope I got the right house. You've heard about me,

  135. said Sharak, and a benign Everybody knows the story David

  136. and Goliath. If I would named Paul, Peter, John, any

  137. of those folks.

  138. All those folks y'all know.

  139. But there are some three thousand, two hundred and thirty

  140. seven characters in the Bible.

  141. Yet we spend all of our time talking about Peter,

  142. James and John.

  143. We know it, we know it by heart. Peter James, John,

  144. y'all know that, y'all.

  145. Y'all know, y'all know, y'all sitting here like y'all don't

  146. know scripture, y'all know, come up, come up with Peter,

  147. James and John were on their way into the temple,

  148. and there was a man who sat there begging for arms.

  149. Y'all you should know this by heart. Y'all sitting here

  150. like you don't know this and this chilvering gold have

  151. I none but such as I have the But the

  152. man was asking for money. What do you do when

  153. you're asking for one thing but what you're asking for

  154. is not really what you need. It is the story

  155. of the church. We're always asking God, God, give me

  156. a husband. Maybe you don't need no husband. You can't

  157. clean up your own house. Oh Lord Jesus, wrong Sunday.

  158. Oh y'all don't already gave me my birthday stuff? So

  159. I'm clear, God, I know God, if you give me

  160. a house, I'll praise you for the next fifty two Sundays,

  161. and the Lord gives you a house. But the house

  162. has no windows, the house has no carpet, the house

  163. needs work.

  164. Now, all of a sudden, you say, wait.

  165. A minute, Lord, and the Lord says, you ask me

  166. for a house, and I gave you what you waymen, lad,

  167. because I thought you.

  168. Was gonna give me three stories.

  169. I thought it was gonna be an eight hundred thousand

  170. dollars house, and I was gonna only have to pay

  171. a dollar for it. Soul, Lord Jesus, I hope I'm

  172. not bombing here. So church has become the place of

  173. the great illusion. Well, we think we can do anything

  174. we wanna do, live any kind of way, serve God

  175. any kind of way. Don't close your Bible yet, don't

  176. don't give up on me yet. But then we come

  177. to the House of God and don't recognize the scriptures

  178. that we quote. The scripture says, and you should write

  179. this down because some of y'all ain't got it yet.

  180. We cannot be ignorant concerning Satan's devices.

  181. I am concerned with.

  182. The church because there's a lot of us that don't

  183. know the devil when he walks in.

  184. The lot of us that don't know you.

  185. Sitting sometimes besides sometimes I thank you, Holy girl, sitting

  186. sometimes besides the devil.

  187. Some of us have not come to the conclusion that

  188. the devil comes to church sometimes more than you.

  189. So we become victims of sleeping with the enemy, marrying then, Oh, y'all,

  190. this ain't going good. Fly dating the enemy, hanging out

  191. with the enemy, sometimes even dancing.

  192. I know you're righting Smith, excuse me, come on, come on.

  193. We know church, but we don't know God.

  194. We know how to dance, but you ain't got no

  195. priyer life. Oh, Lord Jesus, we come to church every Sunday,

  196. but you have no relationship.

  197. So we determined, Lord Jesus, wrong Sunday. So we determined

  198. and get frustrated because all the enemy wants to do

  199. right now.

  200. Is frustrate us.

  201. I can't get you to go back to smoking joints,

  202. but I can frustrate the.

  203. Devil out of you. I can't get you to go

  204. back and.

  205. Drink some of y'all because I feel alcohol on it side,

  206. but I can get you frustrated. I can't get you

  207. to stop. Lord jeez, I'm gonna miss something because you

  208. know you down top my fortication and sis and I'm

  209. gonna do that and an adultery. I can talk good

  210. because I used to be an adulterous. Turn turn, turn turn,

  211. so I can talk good. But what happens is we

  212. get so comfortable being undelivered because church has become easy.

  213. Do something for me, y'all, put your drinks down for me,

  214. Do something for me. Get put pict pick up the

  215. base because I can't shot without no base.

  216. We can do this good. You know, we're cute with it.

  217. But what happens, Yeah, when the organists has cut off

  218. the organ.

  219. The drama has laid his sticks down, the keyboardist has

  220. gone home, and the lights of the church is out.

  221. Do we do what the Bible says and let your light.

  222. So we have become Church of Ties, a moving church

  223. of tie, Church of Ties, Church of Ties, Church of tise.

  224. We know church.

  225. Look at something besides that, I know church. Look at

  226. somebody else said no church. We know church. We can

  227. sit at home. We say we ain't even have a church.

  228. We said right now, right Joeldren showed up. If he

  229. ain't got on red, he got on green, he got

  230. on yellow.

  231. He got on something real.

  232. Bright, we said, And Joe ain't gonna get out of

  233. church without danks.

  234. If I ask you to show me how Joe dang,

  235. y'all we have those things.

  236. Down pack. Oh no, no, no, no, long with that.

  237. We have good church because in some churches, I don't

  238. think I could be a member of some of these folks.

  239. I watched it, I'd be like, Oh Lord Jesus, we

  240. have good church. But what is the difference between us

  241. and everybody else? May I submit to you? And I

  242. promise you after that, I'm gonna get into my message.

  243. You know how to have a good time?

  244. Oh lord? What a clubbers at one my side effects? Folk?

  245. What my twenty twenty? What's what's that club you used

  246. to go to?

  247. Don't you even try? You look like he looked like

  248. a clubb. Don't don't he like a clubb? He looked

  249. like a clubber? Kind of lights silhouette? You know they

  250. got had the right name. Can't name a club like

  251. a church silhouette? Sound effects effects eclipse because we're getting

  252. ready to eclipse your life.

  253. We know.

  254. Very few of us went to church, I mean went

  255. to the club and stood on the wall. Some of

  256. y'all got this problem right now. You know what they

  257. just did. They changed the law because it used to

  258. be deconnected that they played music when you shot. Pastor

  259. Pimlton told us a story one time when she was preaching.

  260. Pastor Pimpleton said she was in the store. She's trying to.

  261. Buy a dress for church, and she said, what's what's

  262. some boys she used to like?

  263. No, no, she like them old fellas something the phoetops

  264. or somebody came home.

  265. She said.

  266. She was in there trying to look at the dress,

  267. and she kept on looking at herself. All of a

  268. sudden she felt something dealing with her. And it wasn't

  269. the Holy Spirit, she said. When it started dealing with

  270. her all of a sudden, she says, she stars.

  271. That, Oh Lord, tell I gotta get out of here.

  272. I got to get out of here because they're not

  273. gonna like this part.

  274. Certain music does certain things to you. Are y'all trying

  275. to look real deep and home.

  276. You know, if I played the right song, you gonna

  277. remember where you was May of twelfth, nineteen sixty eight.

  278. Sitting on top of a car.

  279. I remember how he smelled, I remember how he was dressing. Honey,

  280. So we go through emotional changes. That's why when the

  281. devil was in heaven, he told the Lord he tried

  282. to steal the worship program. He tried to steal the

  283. choir because he knew that music can calm the savage beasts.

  284. But there are a whole lot of things in the

  285. scripture that I have become a part of the church,

  286. and a whole lot of things in church that are

  287. not a part of the scripture. They play a game

  288. on the radio when I listen to it, it's called

  289. church or what's the other phrase church full church or

  290. church fo scripture Bible or church folk. One of the

  291. things we talk about is this, and we'll give you

  292. three things, and then I'm.

  293. Every tub.

  294. Must sit on its own bottom scripture of church for.

  295. Okay, y'all like that ain't sure, pastor flak that ain't sure.

  296. So there's a lot of stuff.

  297. If we're not careful, it spills over into the church

  298. and we start to think we.

  299. Know, but you just.

  300. Don't know.

  301. So the smallest former church Jesus place is its smallest

  302. former church.

  303. Wherever two.

  304. All three are gathered together in My name, that's the

  305. smallest form of church. I need to look at the

  306. person and says, say, neighbor, I know I'm not preaching

  307. up in the mountain. I'm not trying to right now,

  308. say neighbor, I can get the devil off of you

  309. and see that. That's why you have to be careful

  310. who you sit beside in church. It doesn't take a crowd.

  311. The truth of the matter is two of us can

  312. upset this whole church with the right kind of praise

  313. and the right kind of worship.

  314. Two of us shot, oh shit about excuse me?

  315. Can get the devil to behave.

  316. Two of us can get so children free.

  317. Two us can praying God to give you a miracle

  318. bottomar smallest form of the church. But then Jesus transfers

  319. it and we come to Acts chapter two.

  320. Acts Chapter two.

  321. The Lord says two or three is good because you

  322. have heard I'm trying to give you a scripture.

  323. I said to give you exactly where scripture comes from,

  324. so when you go home, I would assume that you

  325. would study it.

  326. But but but the scripture says the Lord loves to dwell.

  327. Right in the middle of your praise. That's not a

  328. church scripture.

  329. What that means is sometimes God is just looking for

  330. the right seat. Sometimes all God has to do, I

  331. gotta make sure before I sit down I'm dwelling among

  332. some praises. All God got to do is dwell.

  333. Between a few folks that know how he works. Sometimes

  334. I come to church and I don't feel like coming here.

  335. I don't want to see you with so wonderful self.

  336. Excuse me.

  337. I didn't come in here to see what you got on.

  338. I didn't come in here.

  339. To see how you look.

  340. I know you spent one hundred and thirty five dollars

  341. getting your hand done, sixty five getting your nails done.

  342. I hope you brush your teeth and took you a sour.

  343. But I'm here this morning and I have a problem.

  344. I don't need nobody to co sign with me. So

  345. I have to make up in my mind that when

  346. I come into those doors because I have a problem,

  347. don't think I'm crazy if I enter his cakes websites giving.

  348. I'm not trying to be cute. But it took half

  349. for me to get here. Camo's been on my slack.

  350. Tim Jason's been trying to hold me down. Things have

  351. falling upon But I'm made up in my mind. I'm

  352. an enter into its cakes with thanks kidding, I'm.

  353. Going to hit him.

  354. Here's carts, take this shoe off of me with race.

  355. I'm gonna be sycul.

  356. And bless his name because I don't care what happened.

  357. The Lord is good. Here's my sacre. It's everlasting.

  358. Man is Ruth.

  359. Endorsed to all jlays.

  360. Shake a neighbor, die the hand, Shake that hand like

  361. you're gonna shake it off and say, neighbor, the Lord

  362. been better to me then you have Shaynab ain't mad

  363. at him? So oh help, thanks all health, praise, Oh

  364. help glory.

  365. Said said, since you don't know.

  366. What people are going through just to get to church.

  367. You don't know, but hell, somebody's had to endure. Somebody

  368. came to church and said, Lord, if you don't touch

  369. me today, I'm never going back. Somebody got a husband.

  370. They trying their best not to go to jail because

  371. they're ready to kill them. So when I come to church,

  372. I don't need no foolishness. I don't have time for

  373. no cute stuff. I'm sorry. I'm not here to be seen.

  374. I'm here for him to see me. I want to

  375. know it's the doctor ed. I want to know it's

  376. the healer here.

  377. I want to know. Do you have any victory?

  378. Y'all shouting like you have victory, But I'm about to

  379. lose my mind. I'm about to lose my stuff. I'm

  380. about to go out. I'm about to drive off a bridge.

  381. Now you think I'm come here and watch you be cute?

  382. The devil is a liar. Look at the person beside

  383. to tell me. You don't know the hell I have.

  384. I had to go through just to get here today.

  385. So y'all sit, I'm closing a promise.

  386. So so I can't come to church looking for an

  387. emotional hide. Monday morning, I gotta meet twenty six crumb

  388. snatches and I'm about ready to jerk or not and

  389. every last one of them. Tuesday, I gotta go to

  390. the demon Dennis, and he got to pull out seventee.

  400. with our foolishness. Hell, I mean, excuse me, it's no

  401. hell no, what time for foolishness? This next message may

  402. be the thing that delivers me from poverty to riches.

  403. This next praise maybe the thing that helps me to

  404. keep my mind. The next song, the CHOI saying, I

  426. what I'm talking about. Let's try to sit here like

  427. you don't know you got it in your CD in

  428. the car. Then I would get up.

  429. Come on, come on, praise team, Come on, Praiston.

  430. You ever you ever know thised Sometime on praise seem

  431. some folks rocking this way while the other folks they bumping.

  432. Up into each other.

  433. It's because they waited to have praise on Sunday morning. Look,

  434. y'all ain't gonna like me, cause this right, this right sensitific,

  435. this is gonna this is gonna be this gonna be

  436. real ugly. But I understand now why the old church

  437. did what they did. We had to lay our clothes

  438. out for church. Oh see, y'all was good, y'all said

  439. Saturday Friday, cause Mama say, ain't nobody gonna.

  440. Be iling in this house on the seventh.

  441. Yeah, I'm looking for the folk that's from the age

  442. and when it started.

  443. Thundering, Mama said, cut that TV off.

  444. Ah, we get a mount of the table, cause we

  445. know we ain't been that good lord.

  446. So just in case you came through the window, you

  447. didn't find us, You know you have.

  448. You had to hit the table before you hit us.

  449. My grandmother, my mother, don't even cook on Sunday. You

  450. better cook it on Saturday, Friday.

  451. And we warked it up on Sunday. She wasn't Friday.

  452. No chicken on Sunday, just lost day grass, snee cutting.

  453. You waited till Monday, Tuesday, just the lost day on.

  454. And then they then they quote the scripture and fleck

  455. they was quoting it wrong. Remember the seventh day and

  456. keep it holy. That ain't got nothing to do with

  457. you cooking, irony. I came from the church where you

  458. if you had your elbows out, you was in sin

  459. because you gonna make the men lust. Cover them elbows up,

  460. Darlin't nobody telling them. Put some baseline on so they

  461. don't look so rough. Cover your feet up, your dress

  462. gotta go there. They don't know nothing about this joy,

  463. y'all know. I wish there was some folks that's here.

  464. When I first came here because I used to be

  465. real qrazy. We couldn't wrap pants because the Bible said

  466. on't wear anything that pertain them to a woman. I

  467. ain't had sense enough passor Josh to know that they

  468. got women pants, ain't men pants. And I hate to

  469. see some men and some women pants and some women.

  470. Oh lord, jeez, let me keep going.

  471. But they make them.

  472. For different folks to put something on your head because

  473. you needed your head covered. But they ain't say nothing

  474. about Wiggs wigs his head covering, suit, hats his head covering.

  475. So I'm trying. I'm just I'm trying to make a point.

  476. So I had a whole lot of stuff, and I

  477. got real frustrated.

  478. It's a collar when I found.

  479. Out that the women without their elbows out, with the

  480. sleeves way down the hill, and the stuff all the way.

  481. To the floor, with some of the biggest holes in

  482. the whole church.

  483. Lord, this ain't good preaching, y'all. Sins have caught me today.

  484. So we came to the conclusion, it ain't what you wear,

  485. it's what's.

  486. David helped us with live man. Look at that they

  487. are with a perish but.

  488. Look at somebody besides something, God's looking at your heart.

  489. So seven minutes, seven minutes, seven minutes to seven minutes.

  490. I'm out there.

  491. So I got two scriptures. First scriptures, Joshua, just read

  492. the first verse. I'll give the story. It take me

  493. five minutes to give the story. And then I go

  494. to the second one. We're out of here. But they

  495. got some cookcakes.

  496. That's it's Mike's song that's in testing testing. Yeah, that's there.

  497. You go, Joshua, Chapter seven one. But the people of

  498. Israel both faith in regards.

  499. The church got instructions, but they failed to do the

  500. instructions that the church got.

  501. Did you finish the verse? Read? Read all of one.

  502. But the people of Israel both faith in regards.

  503. So the church became so church ad tized that they

  504. knew what to do, but did what they wanted to do.

  505. Did you finish the verse? Finished the whole verse to

  506. the devoted things for ACoM, the son of can I,

  507. the son of Zibete, the son of Zairah.

  508. So well will like names like that.

  509. We know Peter, Paul, John, Tell me about Peter, Tell me.

  510. About Thomas, Tell me about John. No, there's a man

  511. in the Bible named Akon somebody. Y'all need to know

  512. somebody else.

  513. Said ancon ACoM Aikin, what a can do? I'm glad

  514. you asked Aikon received instructions. The Lord says, this is

  515. how we're going to win the battle. We're gonna go

  516. into the enemy's camp. We're gonna rehab it, but we're

  517. coming out and we're bringing nothing.

  518. That's what the instructions. The Lord says. If you be

  519. willing and or bag, you will enjoy the fruit of.

  520. The lad The lord says, if you do what I said,

  521. this is gonna turn.

  522. Your life around.

  523. The Lord says, follow the leader, follow the instructions. An aching,

  524. I need an aching. I need an aching, Isa said,

  525. come in because I can deal with you because you're

  526. my son. You've been my son for a long time

  527. and you won't get offended.

  528. So aching, come on. I need to rest.

  529. Y'all got with all the folks, and they went into

  530. the enemy's territory and the enemy gave them victory.

  531. I don't I need you to pick up something, but

  532. you got it.

  533. You know.

  534. I don't know about Joe's bag. I don't know what

  535. he got in that bag. He can make a mistake.

  536. We let's don't. Let's let's let's get Joe's Bible. That's safe.

  537. The word of God is safer than a than a bad. See.

  538. He just looking like, we don't need to touch that bag.

  539. I don't think that bag is annointed. He said it

  540. got piece in that bad piece that goes beyond. You

  541. don't understand it.

  542. Don't work it out. That will keep your heart and mind.

  543. But what was the instructions go in, come on, let's

  544. go back?

  545. What was the numb?

  546. Huh uh uh uh said, I'm gonna I'm gonna be

  547. I'm gonna give you honor tribute. I'm gonna let you

  548. sit in there, pastor ship. Don't just get no hot

  549. head and think you're gonna be no this ship. Don't

  550. you getting no hot head think you're gonna be no

  551. pastor either. You sat there now shot down. My question

  552. to you is, what were the instructions, go in, rehab it.

  553. And come on out. Israel is now fighting.

  554. Some time later, and every time they come to church,

  555. they go home.

  556. Defeated the wrong side. Let me call you side.

  557. They shout, they dance, they got good singing, but they

  558. ain't got no victory.

  559. They get a good word.

  560. They got good music, they got a good praise, standing quiet,

  561. they got singers that can't sing.

  562. Now we've been going this long and we used to

  563. be winning, but now we are losing.

  564. Whenever you're losing, you would do well to take what

  565. I call introspection.

  566. Because we're good at blaming everybody else.

  567. Without taking accountability for our self.

  568. That was the best part of the message, right there.

  569. Boy that went down, Wood, that went down like a

  570. t bone state with some a one saw some. We're

  571. good at saying it's everybody else's fault, but we never stopped.

  572. And seek for.

  573. Revelation. Instead we run with information. Revelation is God. I

  574. gotta sit down here and deal with what's going on.

  575. I think it was a Bruce par Haam that says, Lord, whatever.

  576. You gotta do, do it, even if it means you.

  577. Gotta deal with Oh yeah, see, I'll see see.

  578. I gotta go to the back of the search because

  579. they ain't.

  580. Talking to me.

  581. Bruce part Hamn says, Lord, fix the problem, even if.

  582. The problem is otherwise.

  583. You continue the madness, I promise y'all almost finished.

  584. You continue the madness.

  585. You continue the same stuff you hear the same noise.

  586. You go through the same frustration because you never fix

  587. the problem. We're good at putting a band aid on it,

  588. But what do you do when you put a band

  589. aid over sixteen stitches? What do you do when you

  590. right and you keep covering up what you never dealt.

  591. With? You got childhood issues, you got repressed anger.

  592. You still mad at your daddy. Reason why we can't

  593. get you to do nothing in the church is because

  594. you still when I was a child, then't never let

  595. me say now, I was one of nine child Never

  596. let me say nothing.

  597. Never.

  598. And so what the church becomes is the type of

  599. place that teaches you.

  600. To be in denial when the reality of.

  601. Your situation is Pastor, I got something going on and

  602. I really need prayer, and I really need this this

  603. this is a dirty word.

  604. Now, deliverance, Pastor. I need deliverance.

  605. Pastor. I've been shouting, but I need deliverance. Pastor.

  606. The reason why I can't be a good leader of

  607. my organization, my auxiliary, my.

  608. Group, because I need deliverance.

  609. Every time the lady gets up she starts to talk here,

  610. I feel hatred.

  611. I'm mad at my sisters, I'm mad at my Anxes.

  612. I don't know why, but Pastor, I can take it

  613. when men preach, but when women preach.

  614. I can't take it.

  615. I need deliverance. You need to go back and seek

  616. revelation for why am I dealing with this? We got

  617. good church, but I leave church and.

  618. I'm a failure. Y'all ain't gonna admit this. I leave

  619. church and I ain't got no power. Lee chuching.

  620. I'm looking over my shoulder. I lee chuching. Every guy

  621. that call me, I turn him down cause I'm still

  622. stuck on what Jim Bob did to me and Sally Sue.

  623. I can't even have a healthy relationship because I'm twisted.

  624. I'm tainted, I'm angry, I'm mad, I'm evil.

  625. I'm the Devil's first cousin. What do we do?

  626. We get ben addiction, We send you home. You come

  627. back next week cause there's no freedom in your walk,

  628. there's no freedom in your talk.

  629. You ain't got no power. You look good, but you'll mess.

  630. Lord Jesus, The Lord says, go back, check all them guys.

  631. It's a nice watch flakes, Lord Jesus.

  632. Somebody said that that would be a nice birthday president

  633. for some apostle, just.

  634. Messing with you. Put your watchmen, put it back on.

  635. Somebody has transgressed.

  636. Against God.

  637. And then messing up the whole room.

  638. Somebody injected us up.

  639. Because instead of doing what God says that and got greedy.

  640. Somebody is so selfish you can't see as you no

  641. poss she needed to change.

  642. No, it's your baby. No she need to change. No no, no, no, no,

  643. no no.

  644. You have not dealt with issues that have made you

  645. a monster. Excuse me?

  646. You the only bishop for here. Second. You're a bishop,

  647. but you're a monst. I'm not talking about.

  648. Won't talk about you say you go over here admitting,

  649. don't don't admit too quick. Don't admit too quick. Don't

  650. admit too quick. You're a preacher, but you're a monster.

  651. You're praising worship leader, but you're a monster because you

  652. keep trying to hide what you will never suppose to take.

  653. You're not dealing with the little stuff, because it's the

  654. little foxes, the spoil of iron.

  655. And until you deal with.

  656. And seek revelation and go find what was taken that

  657. should have never been taken, and return it back to

  658. who it was stolen from, and redo their instructions, you'll

  659. never be good for nothing less scripture because I got

  660. a fishy Wims told me. Don't never end on a

  661. sad note. But I feel this thing working because I

  662. feel some of y'all like, Oh, I feel some of

  663. y'all like at the doctor's with your tongue stuck out,

  664. with the little stick on your mouth.

  665. Oh.

  666. I feel some of y'all saying, oh Lord, I've been

  667. to church before, but I ain't never dealt with this stuff.

  668. So come on by a second scripture five minutes.

  669. Read Luke five eighteen and twenty and behold, some men

  670. were bringing on a bed of man.

  671. So what happens when I know you need help? Reed?

  672. Who was paralyzed?

  673. There was a man who was paralyzed, and they were

  674. seeking to bring him in. Is a man was at

  675. church and he was paralyzed. That meant he could not

  676. come in on his own power. And he wanted to

  677. come in, but.

  678. He couldn't come in.

  679. He wanted deliverance, but he couldn't take his self where

  680. he needed to go.

  681. He got tired and frustrated. But he says, I'm paralyzed.

  682. Paralyzed means I'm stuck in this situation and I can't

  683. do anything about it.

  684. Reed, But finding him no way to bring him in?

  685. The church was packed, no more seats to us. Will

  686. say it ain't nobody else getting in. There was no

  687. room for anybody else. But the man needs deliverance. What

  688. do you do when you need deliverance but the house

  689. is packed? What do you do when you need delivering

  690. but everybody sitting in front looking like they got it

  691. and everything is straight? What do you do when you

  692. need deliverance but everybody around you is making you feel

  693. like you're inferior, and you can't get no.

  694. Help free because of the crowd. They went up on

  695. the roofs.

  696. The crowd was there, but somebody who cared more about

  697. him than they cared about themselves, saying, we got to

  698. do something. Look at look at these three folks. You

  699. will say, we gotta do something. Now, y'all ain't talking.

  700. Look at somebody will sayd we got to do something.

  701. Look at somebody saying I'm tired of the same old sam.

  702. I'm tired of the same folk in the prayer line.

  703. I'm tired of the same folk at the altar. I'm

  704. tired of saying we need some folk that really wants

  705. some help. Look at the folk on yourn, say we

  706. gotta do something. So these men, these men got a revelation.

  707. Oh shot, I gotta I got to take take that.

  708. That that that.

  709. That's when they got to be took down. They got

  710. a revelation because they were no longer selfish. I'm concerned

  711. about somebody else. They got a revelation because they said,

  712. it's not about us. This thing is really about God.

  713. They got a revelation. Then said, I ain't got nothing.

  714. To do with my tie. I don't got nothing to

  715. do my position. This got to do with God.

  716. They said, we got Sometimes you have to put your

  717. agenda aside to let God's agenda ride.

  718. So they shifted. They shifted. Let him down with his

  719. bed through that went up on the roof. Stand there,

  720. stand there, come on this side. Flag, Come men, smil

  721. he's slow me down. Smith, come on, come stay right there.

  722. And he says, since we can't get him in, let's

  723. at least get him down. They said, there's no room

  724. for him in, but we're gonna make a way to.

  725. Let him down. Come on, y'all, let's figure this out.

  726. We got to get this man in here. He needs deliveries.

  727. All these other folks taking up room, they ain't even

  728. trying to be delivered. Y'all, y'all, come on, listen, y'all

  729. get down here. Y'all too high. It's too high, not

  730. too grand, red suit on, it's nice blue thirty eight regular, hallelujah.

  731. He said, we gotta find a way to get this

  732. man to Jesus.

  733. Now, listen, I promise you don't get up yet. He

  734. probably had problems, He probably has stuff. He probably has stuff.

  735. He probably has stuff that he needed to get to

  736. Jesus for himself. But what happens to the church when

  737. we forget about what we need and place somebody else's

  738. need before our need.

  739. The roof.

  740. Denotes something that's separating the man from his miracle.

  741. It represents the thing that's holding him back.

  742. But all of a sudden, looking at this group, it

  743. was probably flake, Flake got a revelation that hit him

  744. on the top of the head and said, let's take.

  745. The roof off. Take the roof now, I requisition a requisition, Dick.

  746. And Nick, and I asked him to find me a letter,

  747. find me some rope, because I won't tie a few

  748. folk cars. We couldn't find no rope, and Lord must

  749. have hid the letter. But the point is, these men said,

  750. let's let him down. Come on, let him down. Let

  751. let ain't the man just let him down? How closing

  752. you let him down? It's so important. Can't let him

  753. down too fast, can't let him down too quick, can't.

  754. Let him down. Flake Flake got his end, higher smith

  755. got his head.

  756. Lord.

  757. Now the man going down cricket not. The man ain't

  758. got no faith. He's scared, Lord, these folks, because how

  759. many of y'all have been in church and been missed handled?

  760. The wrong folk had their hands on you. Wrong folks

  761. said a word to you.

  762. You turn off right now because some prophet prophesied to you,

  763. and they wasn't prophesied, it was prophilying.

  764. How you let him down, it's going to depend on

  765. whether or not he's here. They let him down. The

  766. man now.

  767. Appears in front of Jesus. Jesus looks at the man,

  768. and Jesus says, and this is where I want to get.

  769. You're blessed. You're blessed. You're blessed. You're blessed because you

  770. reposition yourself and put somebody else first. You had a need,

  771. but you put your need on hold. You were next

  772. in line, but you said he needs this more than I.

  773. Man slet down. There's still a hole in the roof,

  774. but the man is healed because somebody in church.

  775. Needs deliverance.

  776. They don't need another shout, they don't need another hollow,

  777. they don't need another run.

  778. Somebody, thank you. I'm close.

  779. Somebody needs deliverence, somebody needs real help.

  780. Can I say one more thing? This is none in

  781. my message.

  782. This is this edict.

  783. Stop making folks think because they need therapists and need

  784. to talk to somebody that ain't gone. The devil is

  785. a liar.

  786. Some folks need medicine, Some folk need therapy, some folk

  787. need a coach.

  788. Some folk need.

  789. Somebody else to talk to other than the pastor.

  790. Why do you sins again? Why do you think the

  791. Lord healed to you because he knew others.

  792. Were coming behind you that were gonna need to hear

  793. your testimony?

  794. Lord allows us to go through what we go through,

  795. and it ain't just for you.

  796. You're gonna run into somebody you gonna have to tell them.

  797. Well let it, baby, let me tell you something. I

  798. would do the same thing. But let me tell you something.

  799. He's a key heal the Lord. I heal you. The Lord,

  800. I bring you out, the Lord to take you. No,

  801. don't give up yet, don't throw in the tower. Receive

  802. this deliverance, last thing totally. I promise you. You gotta remember,

  803. and I need you to do this.

  804. Take everybody, take your right hand, Take your right hand.

  805. Put your right hand on your own belly. Repeat after me.

  806. Somebody's deliverance is in me, so repeat after me. So, Lord,

  807. I need you to heal me so I can heal others.

  808. Say Lord, I.

  809. Need you to free me, so I can free every

  810. person around me. Can I say this?

  811. The church doesn't grow, the church doesn't get full. The

  812. church doesn't need another church until we get some folks

  813. in here free. Because right now we ain't got no

  814. room for no more sick folk. We got to get

  815. what's assigned to us heal first, so there's room for

  816. the other folks to appear. And God wants to use.

  817. It's you. It's you.

  818. It's you.

  819. Can't just cover it up with a good time. It's

  820. time to be healed. I'm finished, But I will tell

  821. you this.

  822. Healing can contribute to what we teach is not somebody

  823. rolling on the floor, taking two or three hours. Most

  824. folks don't know how to treat you because they've never

  825. been healed. Most folks don't know how to talk to

  826. you because they've.

  827. Never been healed.

  828. Women, he can't handle you, right, he's never been healed.

  829. He's still a little boy. Man. No, she can't be

  830. for you what she needs to be for you, because

  831. she's still grieving over her father.

  832. Who never told her.

  833. You're a good girl. They're still grieving over death. And

  834. until we deal with some issues I know pasts. I

  835. didn't come here today for this. Yes you did, because

  836. the Lord told me. Don't be up there spitting and

  837. about to fall out. Lord says, give this to them

  838. and leave it with them, because until folk, flake come in,

  839. Come in, flake, come in real quick, come in. I

  840. need you to go right back up here. I need

  841. to stand right where you were standing.
