  1. Another time that he has afforded.

  2. Us another day. Not just another day, but a blessed day.

  3. I'm going to stand on the floor. I want to

  4. be close to y'all. I want to be close to y'all.

  5. This is a continuation message. from what you've already heard. Amen.

  6. It's like the fact that we're revelations in the kitchen.

  7. In your bow. The book of 1 John. In the

  8. first chapter. Amen.

  9. Let's go to the Lord in prayer.

  10. Father, we thank you for your word. We thank you

  11. for your happiness. We thank you for being God all

  12. by yourself to us. We thank you for being the

  13. God who is. For what you may be to me,

  14. you may not be to someone else. And what you

  15. may be to them, you may not be to me.

  16. But you are the God who is. And we just

  17. thank you for being that God.

  18. Amen.

  19. Father God, we come before you humble before your throne

  20. of grace. We come asking that you forgive us of

  21. anything we have said, any words we've spoken, anything that

  22. we've entertained in our minds that was not like you, Father.

  23. We ask in the name of Jesus Christ for your forgiveness.

  24. We come with a repentant heart, God. We come today

  25. with no shape, form, or fashion, but to hear a word,

  26. a word that will change our lives for the goodness

  27. and for your glory. You bestow the righteousness upon us, God,

  28. because for ourselves we are not righteous, but filthy ravens.

  29. So we thank you, Lord, for the cross. For the

  30. cross caused us to be righteous before thee. The cross

  31. has allowed us to step into your presence. The cross

  32. has allowed us to speak to you individually instead of

  33. needing some one man's help.

  34. So, Lord, we thank you for it.

  35. This personal invitation that you've given to us because of

  36. the cross. We'll praise you and magnify you and glorify

  37. your name from now until Jesus comes again. We thank you, Lord,

  38. for safe travel this morning, even for those who might

  39. still be on the way in the name of Jesus.

  40. Bless everyone under the sound of my voice.

  41. Bless every ministry that's preaching and teaching the undocumented word

  42. of Jesus Christ, but not the foolishness of many.

  43. Stare at them and say.

  44. To them, God, that they may come right before you,

  45. before the judgment, in the name of Jesus. Truly, without

  46. you we are nothing, and we need you in every

  47. aspect of our lives. We thank you, God, for covering

  48. us and keeping us under your divine protection, and that

  49. your word that's about to go forth, use your service

  50. to speak to your people by the help of the

  51. Holy Spirit. Teach Holy Spirit this morning. Get into the

  52. minds of your people. I pray that the people of

  53. God open up their minds in this house and those

  54. that are listening over the airway.

  55. Open up your mind. Open up your heart.

  56. Open up your eyes and your ears to hear a

  57. word from God that will lead you to eternal life

  58. with him.

  59. And that this word may bless each.

  60. And every one of you. Enter into these temples in

  61. this house, Lord. Fill this room with your presence. And

  62. it is in Jesus' name that I pray.

  63. In the church, amen.

  64. In the book of 1 John chapter 5. I mean,

    1 John 5 chapter mention

  65. in the book of 1 John chapter 1, verse 5.

    1 John 1:5

  66. When you get there, say amen. And verse 5 reads

  67. to the people of God, who is he who overcomes

  68. the world? question. But who, but he who believes that

  69. Jesus is the Son of God. So it asks you

  70. a question and it answers you. It is not he

  71. who does, but he who believes. This is he who

  72. came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ. Not by

  73. water only, but by water and blood. And it is

  74. the Spirit who bears witness because the Spirit is true.

  75. For there are three who bear record in heaven. The Father,

  76. the Word, and the Holy Spirit. And these three are one.

  77. And there are three who bear witness in earth. I'm

  78. reading the wrong chapter. Amen. My, y'all forgive me. I

  79. got in late last night from a flight coming from

  80. North Carolina. And when I saw that Lisa was confused,

  81. I said, I looked up and I said, I got

  82. to be doing something wrong. Amen. But we're going to

  83. get on the right track. That's what y'all here for.

  84. We are helpful one to another. But we're still in

  85. chapter 1 and verse 5. Amen. Chapter 1 of 1

  86. John and verse 5. Amen.

  87. All of you that are listening on the airwaves, forgive me.

  88. If you don't, you're going to have to deal with God.

  89. Verse 5 of chapter 1 of 1 John. This then

  90. is the message which we have heard of. Heard of him.

  91. This is the message that we heard of him. Him

  92. being who? Jesus. And he declared unto you that God

  93. is life. And in him is no darkness at all.

  94. What does that say to you? If he's in you,

  95. then it should be no darkness in you. If we

  96. say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness,

  97. we lie. Because to claim salvation while at the same

  98. time walking in darkness automatically dismisses your claim. And do

  99. not the truth But if we walk in the light

  100. and he is in the light, we have fellowship one

  101. with another. And the blood of Jesus Christ, his son,

  102. cleanses us from all sin.

  103. If we say that we have no.

  104. Sin, we deceive ourselves.

  105. And the truth is not enough.

  106. If we confess our sin, he is faithful and just

  107. to forgive us our sins. And to cleanse us from

  108. all unrighteousness. But if you don't ever confess it, you

  109. can't be clean. And you won't be able to see

  110. because you're going to stay in darkness.

  111. If, you notice all these ifs, right? A lot of ifs.

  112. It's a lot of ifs because if is a conditional word.

  113. Amen? Because it says if we confess our sins in

  114. verse 9, if we confess our sins, he's faithful and

  115. just to forgive us of our sins. But if we don't,

  116. He's also faithful in not forgiving you of your sins.

  117. He's faithful in that too. Because God is faithful in

  118. punishing sin. He can't go to the left or to

  119. the right. He's faithful in both. Verse 10. If we

  120. say that we have not sinned, we make him alive. See,

  121. if we say we have not sinned, then we make

  122. him alive because we were born in sin and shaped

  123. in iniquity. Are you with me? And his word is

  124. not in us. Because if it makes you a liar

  125. to say that you have not sinned, it makes him,

  126. that means that you make him a liar. And if

  127. you're making him a liar, then his word ain't in you.

  128. Because Jesus Christ is not a liar. The Bible said

  129. he's not a man that he should repent.

  130. Not a son of man.

  131. He can't lie. So let's go to chapter 2 of

  132. 1 John, starting in verse 7.

  133. Are you with me?

  134. Here's your proof. Brethren, this is your proof. Somebody say proof. Brethren,

  135. I write no new commandment unto you, but an old

  136. commandment which you have heard from the beginning. The old

  137. commandment is The word which you have heard from the beginning.

  138. This is the old commandment. And that is of love.

  139. Everybody heard of love? Okay, there's your proof. Verse 8 said, again,

  140. a new commandment I write unto you. The commandment of

  141. love is both old and new. If you didn't know it.

  142. Which thing is true in him. Him being Christ.

  143. And in you.

  144. If we are in him.

  145. There's an if again. Because the darkness is past. And

  146. the true light now shines. He who says he is

  147. in the light and hates his brother is in the

  148. darkness even until now. He who loves his brother abides

  149. in the light. And there is none occasion of stumbling

  150. in him. Because when you walk in the light, you

  151. are governed. Governed by love. The love of God. The

  152. agape love of God. When you walk in the light,

  153. you are governed by the love of God.

  154. Which means there's nothing people can do to you to

  155. make you happy.

  156. Nothing.

  157. When you walk in the light.

  158. But when darkness overshadows your light, Oh yeah, you can

  159. cut up sandwich. Verse 11. But he who hates his

  160. brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and knows

  161. not where he goes because the darkness has blinded his eyes. Now,

  162. this is a spiritual blindness, and God has given me

  163. the example of spiritual blindness, and it hit me like

  164. a tongue twister. See, spiritual blindness is different from a

  165. physical blindness. That's why we wonder why folks do what

  166. they do in the negativity and in the foolishness of man,

  167. because they're blind. You know why you know they're blind?

  168. Because a lot of folks, once they do something, say, well,

  169. I do that for them, because they're blind. The spiritual

  170. blindness of the enemy blinds you when he comes on

  171. a mission to complete a purpose.

  172. That's what he does.

  173. He has a mission to complete a purpose and that

  174. purpose is to kill, to steal, and destroy. If he

  175. can get you to do what he wants you to do,

  176. you're blind. You're blind and you're blind. Because without the light,

  177. you can't see the trickery and the deceit of the enemy.

  178. But when you're in the light and you walk in

  179. the light, love causes you to see the darkness of

  180. the enemy that he's trying to pull you back into.

  181. Be a dog in there. You know, if you're in

  182. the dark, you're scared of the dark. You want somebody

  183. to be in there with you. They give you a

  184. little confidence. Verse 12. I write unto you, little children,

  185. because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

  186. Because of what he did on the cross. I write

  187. unto you, fathers, because you have known him who is

  188. from the beginning. This is to those who are mature

  189. in Christ. Mature in your Christian life. I write unto you,

  190. young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. This

  191. is talking to the believers who have now come into

  192. the place and living in the power of the Spirit

  193. of God. Have the victory over Satan.

  194. Constantly.

  195. I write unto you little children because you have known

  196. the Father. This also refers to the believers who haven't

  197. been saved very long. That's why he says little children.

  198. They haven't been saved very long.

  199. They are believers now.

  200. I have written unto you. That's when he was talking

  201. to Peter when he said feed my lambs. Then he

  202. said feed my sheep When he said, feed my sheep,

  203. he was talking about the young convert. When he said,

  204. feed the lamb, he was talking about the mature convert.

  205. When Jesus was asking, Peter, do you love me? I

  206. have written it to you in verse 14, Father, because

  207. you have known him who is from the beginning.

  208. I have written it to you, young men, because.

  209. You are strong and the word of God abides in

  210. you and you have overcome the wicked one. Love not

  211. the world, neither the things that are in the world, okay?

  212. So the Bible says God loves the whole world. Don't

  213. get it twisted. He's talking about us and them. When

  214. he says love not the world, he's talking about the

  215. system of the world.

  216. Love not the system of the world.

  217. God hates no one but the devil because he hates

  218. sin and the devil is sinning. When he says, God

  219. so loved the world, and then the scripture says, be

  220. not of the world, for God hates the world. It's

  221. not the world, people, it's the system. So this is

  222. why people say the Bible is contradictory. You know why

  223. they say that? Because they're blind and they don't understand

  224. the word. They're blind to what the word is really

  225. saying because they don't have no relationship with God. And

  226. when things say something contrary to what it said before,

  227. which is not contrary, but to them it is because

  228. they don't understand the language.

  229. Amen?

  230. So when God says love not the world, neither the

  231. things that are in the world is talking about the

  232. system of the world.

  233. Talking about the order of the system with Satan.

  234. Hmm. You got those Satan and we talking about love

  235. not the world. Satan is the head of the system

  236. of the world. For all that is in.

  237. The world, the lust of the flesh, because there's nothing

  238. in the world that is of God, and.

  239. The lust of the eye, and the pride of life,

  240. is not of the Father, but is.

  241. Of the world.

  242. This is the world system. And the world passeth away

  243. in the lust thereof. It's going to soon fade away.

  244. But he who does... Now, and this is the last

  245. part of the scripture. But if the world is going

  246. to fade away, guess what else is going to fade away?

  247. Those that are of the world.

  248. But he.

  249. Who does the will of God abide forever. This is

  250. the one who keeps on behaving habitually in the word

  251. of God doing the will of God. Not the will

  252. of man. Not the will of your pastor. Not the

  253. will of your mama and your dad. Your husband and

  254. your wife and your children and your car and your house.

  255. A lot of people do the will of their car.

  256. A lot of people do the will of their house.

  257. A whole lot of people do the will of their money.

  258. But the will of God is the only way to abide.

  259. Any other will, not even your will, don't even read

  260. that out, will work for you to get you in

  261. the kingdom of heaven.

  262. Only his will will do.

  263. Amen? You may be seated in the house of the Lord.

  264. In these scriptures, It's dealing with the end time. Amen?

  265. Because it's talking about those that are there now. It

  266. talks about the little children, the father.

  267. It's talking about the mature saints. It's talking about the

  268. young converts.

  269. Amen?

  270. So judgment day is coming.

  271. Amen? We spoke about the millennial period. We talked about

  272. the tribulation period. We talked about the battle of Armageddon

  273. in Isaiah chapter 24. Amen? This is real. We read

    Isaiah 24 chapter mention

  274. it in the Old Testament. We read it in the

  275. New Testament. God is lacking nothing. And the very thing

  276. that captivates me should captivate you. Because the very thing

  277. that we were reading about in Isaiah is already happening now.

  278. So you can't tell me, you can never convince me

  279. that the Bible is not real. There's nothing you can do.

  280. You can say what you want to say, but you'll

  281. never convince me that the word of God is not true.

  282. So judgment day is coming.

  283. And after all the efforts of man to rebel against God,

  284. against Jesus Christ, After all that is completed, and after

  285. Satan's last stand against Jesus Christ, which is the battle

  286. of Armageddon, the judgment day. The end of the judgment day.

  287. You see, there are going to be two judgments. There's

  288. going to be a first resurrection, a first rapture, and

  289. there's going to be a second rapture. The second one

  290. ain't going to be free. As I spoke the word

  291. of God to you, then prove to you it was

  292. God's word.

  293. Blessed is he that goes on the throne.

  294. Judgment Day will come after Satan's last stand. And his

  295. last stand will be when he's released after a thousand

  296. years of being in captivity. with the obese as a

  297. seal over him and then he will be released after

  298. a thousand years and after he's released there's going to

  299. be a battle when he will not be able to

  300. deceive the nations anymore His last stand is the battle

  301. of Armageddon. But God spoke that he's going to put

  302. fire from heaven on Satan and all of those who

  303. have gone in with him. And it's going to be

  304. millions that's going to go in with him. But God's

  305. going to devour all of them. We ain't going to

  306. have to fight. You don't hear what I'm saying? That's

  307. the judgment day. And guess what? Every one of us

  308. will be there. I will be there. Everyone who ever

  309. lived and died from the greatest ruler that ever walked

  310. the earth to the most wretched piece of humanity will

  311. be there.

  312. And there the judge of.

  313. All creation, Jesus Christ, will set upon his great white throne.

  314. And when he sits on his throne, he's going to

  315. open up the book. That's why I keep telling y'all

  316. to open the book. Open the book. Don't just open

  317. it at church. Open it at home. Open it at work.

  318. Open the book because the end result, at the end

  319. of it all, Jesus is going to open the book.

  320. At the day of judgment.

  321. He's going to open the book. And that book is

  322. called the book of life. Jesus was set on his

  323. great white throne. And the books will be open. Listen,

  324. the scripture says, and the books will be open. And

  325. then it says, in another book, the book of life.

  326. So I would tend to wonder deep.

  327. The books?

  328. Huh. And then another book.

  329. The books? And then another book. Are y'all hearing me?

  330. The books?

  331. With an S.

  332. And then another book.

  333. Singular. The books? Somebody better help me. The books? Now

  334. they told us what the book was. But what's the book?

  335. Hmm. There's books and there's a book. The book is

  336. the book of life. What's the book?

  337. Those books are records. That's what the books are.

  338. They're records. See, when you know the scripture, the Bible

  339. says that the angels are writing down everything you say.

  340. Make your mind think back, don't you? Then what do

  341. I say?

  342. Because they're going to present it to God.

  343. Whatever you say. Yeah, you just got hung up. You

  344. just got through.

  345. Cussing him out.

  346. Let me write that down. What you call that woman?

  347. Let me write that down.

  348. Here it is, God.

  349. He said it. I didn't say that.

  350. Here it is right here. The angels do the work

  351. of God. The record they keep around. You got to

  352. be careful what you say to people. That's why you

  353. got to let that mind be in you. There was

  354. also in Christ Jesus. When they cursed him out, when

  355. they railed against him, he didn't speak nothing but what

  356. God told him to say.

  357. Records are being kept. The books.

  358. See, the books going to determine the book.

  359. You hear what I'm saying? The books are going to

  360. determine the book.

  361. Because the book is the book of life.

  362. And if you ain't in the book.

  363. You in trouble?

  364. Because when the book, book of life will be opened

  365. and you and me will face our records, we will

  366. have no excuse in that day of God's wrath, his

  367. burning wrath against all those who have rejected him.

  368. And whosoever was found written in the book of life.

  369. Was cast into the lake. Whoever was not found, rather,

  370. written in the book of life, was cast into the

  371. lake of fire. You see, hell ain't the stopping point.

  372. People tell me, you're going to hell. Yeah. And then

  373. after that, you're going to go into the lake of fire,

  374. which is the hell.

  375. Are you with me?

  376. What are you trying to say, preacher? You trying to

  377. say it's two hells? Oh yeah, that's not what I'm

  378. trying to say. I'm telling you there are two hells

  379. when you understand God's word. You know where the first

  380. hell is?

  381. The grave. But you don't want to make it to

  382. the second one. I don't want to make it to

  383. the first.

  384. One.

  385. I want to be called up. That's my prayer.

  386. I want to be called up. Your name is not

  387. in the book of life. You're going to be cast

  388. into the lake of fire. Are you just trying to

  389. scare us, preacher? Well, let me tell you what God

  390. said in Revelation chapter 20. Since you think I'm trying

    Revelation 20 chapter mention

  391. to scare you, chapter 20 verse 15 says, and whosoever

  392. was found and whosoever was not found written in the

  393. book of life, compares to the record of all Unredeemed

  394. was cast into the lake of fire. Is that the scripture?

  395. Is that the scripture of Revelation 20 and 15? This

  396. includes every single individual who isn't redeemed beginning with Adam

  397. and Eve if they didn't come back to God. It's

  398. not talking about you who have repented. It's talking about

  399. you who have not repented.

  400. You will be cast into the lake of fire.

  401. Jesus Christ will separate the sheep from the goats. And

  402. those elect of God who have done all his will

  403. will be separated from the ungenerated, the rejecters of him

  404. and will be placed on the right hand, the sinner

  405. on the left.

  406. Where will you be Where will you be?

  407. There's going to be a placing of the left and

  408. a placing of the right. Where will you be? You

  409. making this stuff up, preacher? Let's go to Matthew 25.

  410. I'm teaching this morning. This ain't nothing you can apologize.

  411. This got to be, this got to marry me. Let's

  412. go to Matthew 25, verse 31. I'm going to read

    Matthew 25:31

  413. a part of this and jump and read the other part.

  414. Are you with me?

  415. Matthew 25 and verse 31. This is the judgment of

  416. the nations. This is what this represents. The judgment of

  417. the nations. Are y'all with me? This leaves nobody out.

  418. This is talking about America, Israel, Russia, Australia, Ireland, South America. Africa,

  419. all of the nations. This is judgment for us. When

  420. the Son of Man shall come in his glory and

  421. all the holy angels with him, he comes by himself,

  422. then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory,

  423. the second coming. And behold, and before him shall be

  424. gathered all nations. Before him, God, shall be gathered all

  425. nations and he shall separate them one from another. As

  426. the shepherd divides his sheep from the what? And he

  427. shall set the sheep on his what? And then he's

  428. going to say to them, when he was hungry, you

  429. fed him. When he was naked, you clothed him. When

  430. he was in prison, you vented him. And then shall

  431. he say in verse 41 unto them on the what?

  432. The goat nations. He's going to say the same thing

  433. to them. When I was in prison, you didn't visit me.

  434. When I was hungry, you didn't feed me. When I

  435. was naked, you didn't even call me.

  436. This is the ghost.

  437. Ghosts don't care nobody but themselves. Ghosts are selfish. Ghosts

  438. don't have a nerve to say.

  439. Who are you talking to?

  440. Who are you talking about? He said, barely I say

  441. it to you. I know you're not in verse 20.

  442. Chapter 25.

  443. Jesus.

  444. Yeah, Matthew.

  445. This is what he's going to say to him. Like

  446. they say in Matthew 25 and 10 in verse 12,

  447. when he answered and said, I know you not.

  448. He's not going to know you.

  449. But specifically speaking, even in Chapter 25 and verse 45,

  450. he says, then shall he answer them saying, because they're

  451. going to say, oh, wait a minute. They're going to say, Lord,

  452. when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a

  453. stranger or naked or sick or in prison and didn't

  454. minister to you?

  455. When did we do that, Lord?

  456. And verse 45 says, then shall he answer them saying,

  457. verily I say unto you, inasmuch as you did it,

  458. not to one of the least of these.

  459. He did it not to me.

  460. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the

  461. righteous into everlasting eternal life. So to reject Jesus is

  462. to reject Jesus' children and to reject Jesus' word, which

  463. is his ordinance and commandment When you reject, okay, smoking ain't.

  464. Going to send you to hell.

  465. Drinking ain't going to send you to hell. Rejecting Jesus

  466. Christ is the only thing that's going to send you

  467. to hell. Don't get too happy now. Smoking and drinking

  468. and all of that is rejecting Jesus Christ. You see,

  469. Judas didn't do, if sin had a way, he didn't

  470. do the worst. when he turned him in for 30

  471. pieces of silver. Peter did the worst because Peter denied it.

  472. He rejected Jesus. Stabbing him in the back would not

  473. have gotten Judas into hell if he hadn't repented. But

  474. suicide did. But Peter, if he never repented of the rejection, Oh,

  475. he was going straight down. But see, here's the wonderful

  476. thing about God. Even though he denied him in his

  477. weak moment, God still saw greatness in him. You don't

  478. hear what I'm saying? Because when he got back on

  479. his feet, over 3,000 folks got saved. You don't hear

  480. what I'm saying? Don't count yourself out. That's what the

  481. devil wants you to do. The devil wants you to

  482. count yourself out. You see, because it is appointed unto

  483. every man once to die. But after this, it's just,

  484. it's appointed to every, everybody going to get out of here.

  485. If you get caught up, that's your once to die.

  486. But you don't want to die twice. That second death

  487. is going to be horrible. Amen? Look at the book

  488. of Hebrews.

    Hebrews 9 chapter mention

  489. Chapter 9.

  490. Starting in verse 27. I want you to know that

  491. when I say that it is appointed to man once

  492. to die, I want you to see it. In chapter 9,

  493. verse 27 of Hebrews, it says, And as it is

  494. appointed unto men, not men, men once to die. This

  495. is due to the fall of all men who are

  496. under the sentence of death. It's appointed to them once

  497. to die. Because all have died spiritually. Once you gave

  498. your life to Christ, you all died spiritually. Amen?

  499. Which means once you died then, You.

  500. Die again, you separate yourself from God.

  501. But after this, the judgment. As it is appointed unto men.

  502. Once you die, judgment. It don't wait. This judgment don't wait.

  503. It's not like you commit a crime in this world

  504. and you had to go to court and they say, well,

  505. you're going to have to come back on the 10th.

  506. And you come back on the 10th and they say, well,

  507. we kind of crowded up. We ain't ready.

  508. Come back on the 15th.

  509. No, when you commit this crime of sin and you

  510. don't repent and Jesus comes back, judgment are when you die.

  511. Even in this dispensation of time, before the coming of.

  512. Christ, judgment. This is serious stuff.

  513. You see, the only way you and I, not just you,

  514. Me too can escape God's wrath and be counted in

  515. amongst the elect of God.

  516. Is to confess our sins to Jesus Christ.

  517. The only way. And it has to be heartfelt. And

  518. God gave us that example when he dealt with Peter

  519. after his fall. He said, Peter, do you love me?

  520. Peter said, yeah, Lord, you know I love you.

  521. He said, Peter, she... My converts that are mature. He said, Peter.

  522. I guess Peter thought it was over with. Do you

  523. love me? He said, Lord, you know I love you.

  524. He said, then feed my lamb. Feed my immature children.

  525. My babies. Then again he said, Peter.

  526. Now you know if somebody keep asking you the same question,

  527. you're going to get annoyed, right? Do you love me?

  528. Peter said, oh, Lord, you know I love you, Lord. See,

  529. at that point, God drew from Peter what he tries

  530. to draw from us. Peter was in a sense of repentance,

  531. and he drew true godly sorrow.

  532. Out of Peter for what Peter had done.

  533. Because he asked him three times, and Peter denied him

  534. three times. God is always significant with his numbers. So

  535. he asked him three times, do you love me, to

  536. remind him of what he did. And now he's saying,

  537. God heartedly, yes, I love you. Now he's saying, I'll

  538. die for you. As earlier, he said, I'll die for you.

  539. And when he saw Jesus being persecuted, he didn't know

  540. him no more.

  541. But now he's saying, what God has done, he's fixed now.

  542. I'll die for you.

  543. I'll do it.

  544. The repentance that we have to have of the confession

  545. of our sin, nobody can do it for you. Nobody

  546. can tell you how to do it. All these preachers

  547. calling you up to the altar call, telling you, repeat

  548. after me. All these preachers in these mega million churches

  549. calling you up to the altar to give your life

  550. to Christ. And then they tell you, I'm going to

  551. shake your hand, but sister so-and-so and brother so-and-so and

  552. elder so-and-so, they're going to take you in the back

  553. and give you instructions. Let me tell you something. If

  554. the word of God don't instruct you and don't break

  555. your heart, ain't nothing they can tell you in the back.

  556. God is the only one that deals with your heart.

  557. I don't care who take you in the back. If

  558. the Holy Ghost Don't come over you and break up

  559. that stony heart by the word of God and your confession.

  560. Only then is it true to God. See, a whole

  561. lot of people say, I'm sorry, Lord, because I got caught.

  562. That's not a true confession. That's a confession saying, can

  563. you fix it this time, Father? And God is going, yeah,

  564. I'll fix it for you. You ain't going to do

  565. nothing but do it again. You think God is fooled

  566. about you asking him to forgive you and think he

  567. don't know you gonna do it again? He know you

  568. gonna do it again. But he's a gracious and merciful God.

  569. But don't try him too long. So we must confess

  570. our sins to Jesus Christ and be saved and be

  571. baptized in the name of Jesus.

  572. And it's in that order.

  573. You must be saved and baptized in the name of Jesus.

  574. I didn't say be baptized in the name of the Father,

  575. the Son, and the Holy Ghost. So anybody in this

  576. house that's been baptized in the name of the Father,

  577. when that preacher took you down and said, I'll baptize

  578. you in the name of the Father, the Son, and

  579. the Holy Ghost, and raised you back up, you weren't

  580. baptized right.

  581. Amen, somebody?

  582. Well, Jesus is the one in the scripture that said it.

  583. You ain't listening to Jesus. Jesus said it. Be baptized

  584. in the name of the Father, in the name of

  585. the Son, and in the name of the Holy Ghost.

  586. What's the name?

  587. Jesus?

  588. Where in that did you say Jesus?

  589. In the name of Jesus? Nowhere.

  590. You see, it must be done God's way and in

  591. his will.

  592. And everybody that's been baptized, a whole lot of folks

  593. have not been baptized right. And a whole lot of

  594. folks ain't been baptized right now because they didn't say

  595. the name of Jesus because they weren't saved when they

  596. got baptized. You can't be baptized as a sinner and

  597. live for God. Baptism is an outward showing of inward happening.

  598. And if you're a heathen and a preacher that doesn't

  599. baptize you, and never counseled you before he baptized you,

  600. he's going to be having.

  601. Blood on his hands.

  602. And you're going to be in worse of shape than

  603. you was before you went down in the water. You

  604. think it's a cute saying or a joke when people

  605. say a dry devil go down and a wet demon

  606. come up? That's true. As funny as you may take it,

  607. it is the truth. It's an average one of what's happening.

  608. Whatever's in you when you get baptized is going to

  609. come out more. And if you were heathen when you

  610. go down, you're going to be more heathenistic when you

  611. come up. You have to understand baptism is a spiritual entity.

  612. People take the spiritual sacredness of God not serious. Marriage

  613. is serious entity, a sacred thing to God. Holy communion

  614. is a sacred thing to God. Being in the sanctuary

  615. is a sacred thing to God. And a lot of

  616. folks take his sacredness the wrong way. You think they

  617. can do anything in the sanctuary? They can bend down

  618. below the pews and talk on the phone. Because the

  619. preacher don't see you. But God see you. And God

  620. gonna hold you accountable. You sitting there eating chips in

  621. the sanctuary. God see you. When my child was home,

  622. I just said these prayers. Take her out to the

  623. fellowship hall.

  624. The sanctuary is where you meet God.

  625. You don't realize what God had me to realize. But

  626. I believe I enlightened all of you at one point

  627. that the sanctuary is behind the veil. It's the Holy

  628. of Holies. Do we prove it to you? Do we

  629. come in here to meet with God? Where did the

  630. priest go in the Holy of Holies to meet with?

  631. It ain't gone nowhere. The veil was ripped.

  632. That's why now we all come behind the veil instead

  633. of the priest. Let me.

  634. Move on.

  635. You got to be saved, baptized in the name of

  636. Jesus Christ. And then after you do all that, a

  637. lot of people get saved and baptized. Like being in

  638. the military. Boot camp, you ain't in the military. You

  639. get out of boot camp, you're in the military. A

  640. whole lot of people go crazy in boot camp. One kill,

  641. they commit suicide, claim that they're homosexual and all that,

  642. so they let them out. You claim homosexual now, they'll

  643. keep you in there. That's what they're doing down there.

  644. But in boot camp, you're not in the military. You're

  645. training to be in the military. So once you get saved, sanctified,

  646. set apart for God, baptized in the name of Jesus Christ,

  647. you have to go to work. That was boot camp.

  648. Then you made it out of Buchanan. And then you

  649. got to let him cleanse your heart from all unrighteousness.

  650. And then you will be counted among God's people in

  651. that day. How do your heart get cleansed? How do

  652. you let God cleanse your heart? If you don't know,

  653. that's a problem. How do you let him cleanse your heart?

  654. The word of God is what cleans your heart. You

  655. can tell folks that have been walking with God on

  656. a daily basis that those that only walk with him

  657. on Sunday. You can tell because their walk tells on them.

  658. You can tell those that stay in the face of

  659. God compared to those that are in his face for

  660. the walk and the need.

  661. You can tell.

  662. Let me tell you something. If you miss heaven, you

  663. won't be able to do a U-turn and come back.

  664. If you miss that exit on the highway, you can

  665. hit the next exit. Well, if you miss this exit,

  666. the next exit is hell. See, if you miss this exit,

  667. the next one is hell. Came with two exits. And

  668. when you miss this exit, they don't turn around. But

  669. to be cleansed, to be cleansed. That's why God said,

  670. let this mind be in you.

  671. What needs to be cleansed?

  672. Your mind. Your mind been using your body as an

  673. instrument of seeing all your life. Your mind is the

  674. one to tell you to smack that girl on the

  675. butt and your hand do what the mind say. Your

  676. mind is to tell you to sleep with that woman

  677. that you ain't married to. Your mind tells you that

  678. then your body gets in motion and do what your

  679. mind tells you to do. Your mind is to tell

  680. you to let your hand be sticky and be still

  681. and stuff. Your mind is to tell your hand to

  682. pull the trigger. Your mind does that. So when you

  683. let that mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus,

  684. your mind won't tell your hand to do that. Your

  685. mind won't tell your body to sleep with that woman.

  686. Your mind won't tell you that the system of the

  687. world is wrong. And because you've been with her five years,

  688. you have common law marriage.

  689. And you can sleep with her at will.

  690. No. Jesus Christ will tell your mind, you must be

  691. married because the bedroom is undefiled if you marry. Listen,

  692. the bedroom, if you marry, the bedroom is undefiled.

  693. I said if you, but you said if again. If

  694. you're not married, your bedroom is defiled. Somebody help me.

  695. Oh yeah.

  696. Your mind told you you're a man and you love

  697. another man. Your mind told you you was a woman

  698. and you loved another woman. Your sinful mind. That's why

  699. you got to let the mind of Christ be in you.

  700. So your eyes can see and you don't walk in darkness.

  701. You were another.

  702. Man, man, because you were in darkness. God ain't told

  703. you that. Well, I love him and God know I

  704. love him. Yeah, love him all you want. You're going

  705. to love him and you all the way to hell.

  706. And God going to keep loving you too. But he's

  707. not going to love your sin. He's going to keep

  708. loving you, but not your sin. See, that's the agape

  709. love of God. That's why people can't figure that out.

  710. When I say people, I mean the people of God.

  711. The world don't know it no way. They have a

  712. filial love. But God's people are supposed to have agape love.

  713. And the agape love of God is a no matter

  714. what love. You understand what I'm saying. That's why the

  715. scripture was talking about how can you say you love

  716. me and don't love your brother? He said if you

  717. say that there's no sin in you, that makes you

  718. a liar. If you say you hate your brother and

  719. love me, that makes you a liar.

  720. Why?

  721. Because you're walking in darkness. And the Bible just told you,

  722. Jesus said there ain't no darkness in me. None. As

  723. a matter of fact, Jesus looked Satan in the face.

  724. In the scripture, he said he looked him in the

  725. face and said, there is none of you in me.

  726. Can we say that? Should we be able to say that?

  727. We should be able to say the same thing. Because why?

  728. When Jesus abides in you, you got a new mind.

  729. When you got a new mind, you got your cleanse.

  730. Your heart is cleansed. You see, when we speak of

  731. having the right heart, we ain't talking about this thing

  732. to pump blood in your body. This your heart. This

  733. what God talking about. He ain't talking about his organ.

  734. He's talking about your mind. Which is spirit. This your heart.

  735. This your heart. This is what evil or what's not evil.

  736. What's evil or what's righteous. Because your mind told you

  737. to pull the trigger. That's evil. Your hand didn't tell

  738. you to pull the trigger. Your legs didn't tell you.

  739. Your beating blood pushing heart didn't tell you. Your mind

  740. told you to do that. Be with him.

  741. So you got to let him cleanse your heart from all,

  742. not some, some people just want to hang on to

  743. some stuff. You got to let him cleanse you of

  744. all unrighteousness. Well, I just stole a little piece of

  745. bubble gum. That's a sin. I told you sin don't

  746. have no weight. To man, sin has a weight. You

  747. steal a piece of bubble gum, put you on the hand,

  748. until you pay that 25 cents. Murder somebody, you go

  749. into court, you go into jail, you go into prison.

  750. Steal a piece of bubble gum, this is the God.

  751. That was the man. This is the God. Steal a

  752. piece of bubble gum? Don't repent.

  753. Kill somebody?

  754. Don't repent. Go into hell. Steal a piece of bubble gum?

  755. Don't repent.

  756. Go into hell. Murder a person? Go into hell. There's

  757. no weight on sin with God. It's always the same.

  758. Man is the one that confuses you and tells you, Well,

  759. that's just a little sin. No such thing as a

  760. little sin to God. They all be to God. It's

  761. just a little white lie. Ain't no lie white. I'm black.

  762. It's dark.

  763. You got to let him cleanse you from all unrighteousness.

  764. Then you'll be able to be counted among people. The

  765. people of God in that day, what day? The day

  766. the books are open. Because God, you see, here's the

  767. wonderful thing about God. And this is the misunderstood also

  768. thing about God. God does not want any one of

  769. us to be left behind.

  770. He wants everybody to be saved.

  771. And that's why people go around saying he's a loving God,

  772. trusting God. He's a loyal God. He really loves me.

  773. God would not send me to hell.

  774. Guess what?

  775. That's true.

  776. God would not send anybody to hell. He said it's

  777. not his will that any should perish. You go to

  778. hell because you want to. You choose hell, not God.

  779. You choose hell yourself because it's not his will. It's

  780. God's will that everybody be saved. But God is wise

  781. enough to know that everybody's not going to be saved.

  782. They're not.

  783. We just read in the scriptures in Sunday school, millions

  784. will die and go to heaven. The scripture says so.

  785. But God don't want anybody to be lost.

  786. That don't mean there's not going to be people in

  787. front of you lost. See, we have our own choice

  788. whether we serve God or Satan.

  789. It's our choice.

  790. And you can't serve both of them, by the way.

  791. You can't have it both ways. Now, that cake and

  792. eat it too thing, I ain't never understood it because

  793. if I want to have some cake, you better believe.

  794. I'm going to eat it.

  795. You can't have your cake and eat it too. That's

  796. just stupid wisdom of man. If you give me a

  797. piece of cake, I'm throwing down on it. But you

  798. can't have God and Satan. You either have one or

  799. the other. And you're going to have one or the other.

  800. Whether you realize it or not, you're going to have

  801. one or the other. I can walk up to people

  802. claiming they're Satan, acting like a heathen. acting like they're

  803. damned to hell. You say, man, yeah, I'm saved. You're

  804. serving the devil. I ain't serving no devil. Well, you

  805. ain't saved. If you ain't saved, you're serving the devil.

  806. People will never confess that they're serving the devil because

  807. it don't sound good to them. But they are literally

  808. serving the devil. If you're not serving God, notice, put

  809. yourself on notice. The word serving is important. I didn't

  810. say just be saved, be baptized, sanctified, set apart for God.

  811. How do you set apart for God and don't serve him?

  812. He set you apart for his service. If you set

  813. apart from God, you're going to do God's will. You

  814. got people on the TV, famous people, one of them,

  815. always talk about he under construction. I'm under construction. You

  816. ain't under construction. You ain't even escalated the ground. You

  817. ain't broke ground for a foundation yet. You're a purebred heathen, man.

  818. On TV. You fooling.

  819. See, the thing with that, like Oprah Winfrey coming, I

  820. know the Lord.

  821. If you want to know the Lord. You don't know

  822. the Lord, Oprah.

  823. You're a heathen.

  824. You're going to bust hell wide open if you don't repent.

  825. None of them folks.

  826. Kirk Franklin dancing his, jerking and dancing and backing it

  827. up to the devil. Because he's a heathen. He's a sinner.

  828. Creflo Dollar, T.D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, they're going to bust

  829. hell wide.

  830. Open if they don't repent.

  831. Kenneth Copeland, Jesse Duplantis, Joyce Meyer, all of them And

  832. I hope many one of your famous ones that you

  833. love and follow, they're going to hell if they don't repent.

  834. They've robbed God's people for decades. They've lied to God's

  835. people for decades. They've preached prosperity to God's people for decades.

  836. God ain't never told us to preach prosperity. The only

  837. prosperity God ever told us to preach is behold it!

  838. Live right.

  839. The only prosperity he said, I hope that you probably

  840. let your soul prosper. The only prosperity God ever sold

  841. us is the book of Philippians 4.19. God said, I

  842. shall supply. He shall supply. He didn't tell you to

  843. go after this stuff like these preachers told you. Send

  844. me a thousand dollars. Why didn't he send you a

  845. thousand dollars for?

  846. And you will be blessed.

  847. Come on, write a blessing. I woke up this morning.

  848. That's a blessing. People have blessings messed up. The only

  849. folks that's being blessed in these multi-million dollar ministries is

  850. those preachers. You ever follow them?

  851. I follow them.

  852. I don't mean I follow them in their wording. I

  853. follow them in their lifestyle. They live in 10, 5, 7,

  854. 12 million dollar mansions. You better know that there are

  855. people in that congregation struggling and they ain't trying to

  856. help none of them. A brother of mine wrote to

  857. Kenneth Copeland The prosperity leader of the prosperity preacher said,

  858. I need some shoes for my kids. He said, hey, look, look,

  859. when you preach the prosperity, there's no I can't do

  860. in that. How you gonna say I can't do when

  861. you have faith? You got a long time, this is

  862. a true story. A brother of mine wrote to him saying,

  863. I need shoes for my kids.

  864. He was in the penitentiary.

  865. He got a letter back saying, we're not able to

  866. do that.

  867. And then one of his.

  868. Representatives came to the prison trying to make excuses for him.

  869. You see, he got a lot of people in his

  870. administration and they wrote that. Whatever they wrote, he's responsible

  871. for it. That don't fly with me. I don't care

  872. if it's great-great-grandmother wrote it. If she's in his congregation

  873. on his administration, he's going to be held responsible. Preaching

  874. all his faith. You got two jets, Doc. You can't

  875. afford five pairs of shoes? You got a compound that

  876. they investigated. You said it was for the people of God,

  877. but it was for you. You live in a multi-million

  878. dollar house. You're almost a billionaire out of all the

  879. prosperity preachers. You can't buy five pairs of shoes? Those

  880. folks are going to bust hell wide open. And if

  881. you follow them in their will, so are you.

  882. Because you ain't no different than the fallen angels. They

  883. followed Satan right out of heaven. And they chained up

  884. in hell. It's the same thing. This thing ain't changed.

  885. Sin didn't start on earth. Sin started in heaven.

  886. Not in heaven. Yes, it did. The first rebellion against

  887. God was not Adam.

  888. It was Satan. And he did it in heaven.

  889. Lucifer rebelled against God in heaven. How could he be

  890. kicked out if he wasn't in? Adam did not commit

  891. the first sin against God. Lucifer did. And then Adam,

  892. because he listened to Lucifer, who was now called at

  893. that time, Satan. And he had followers. And all of

  894. these preachers, he had followers. I don't follow them. I

  895. don't even give in to them. I don't watch nothing

  896. that Tyler Perry produces. Because he's a heathen, a homosexual.

  897. I don't watch those shows. You see, the Bible said

  898. don't strengthen the hand of the enemy. I take that literally.

  899. I don't even try to watch nothing that he produces.

  900. No shows, no plays, no nothing. The Bible said don't

  901. strengthen the hand of the enemy. He's saying he's saved.

  902. He's saying he knows Jesus. I say he knows Jesus,

  903. but I say he don't follow him. So I say

  904. he ain't saved. Let me get to my conclusion. This

  905. excites me.

  906. I have to draw this and draft it. Because the

  907. word of God will either draw you or drag you.

  908. So this is important. Hell is no laughing place.

  909. So all the lies of people telling you the devil's

  910. in the hell waiting to torment you.

  911. That's a lie.

  912. Hell is not a vacation spot. You can't hang out

  913. in hell. So the devil ain't down in hell hanging

  914. out waiting on you. Because when the devil go to hell,

  915. he's going to win the same time you're going. And

  916. he's going to be tormented too. How are you going

  917. to torment somebody and you being tormented?

  918. You ain't got no time.

  919. He's going to be tormented just like everybody else.

  920. He don't get no free back.

  921. Either you serve the God or Satan. And you can't

  922. serve both, God and Satan.

  923. You can't do it. You can't do it at the

  924. same time. First of all, you're going to be confused.

  925. And once you get confused, you're probably going to never

  926. serve God.

  927. See, when you get confused, you're.

  928. Going to turn yourself into a person that God's going

  929. to have to give you over to a debased mind.

  930. Because then you get a debased mind because now you

  931. can't believe the truth. You've been believing your lies so

  932. long your lies.

  933. Are true to you.

  934. So God's going to give you over to your lies.

  935. And that's all you're going.

  936. To be able to believe. Can you come back?

  937. No.

  938. See, God is unchanging.

  939. Once he speaks a thing, it's a done deal. So

  940. once he gives you over to a debased mind because

  941. you want to keep believing your own.

  942. Lies, you're done for.

  943. A whole lot of these preachers have a debased mind.

  944. It's on TV. They really believe. They've been doing that

  945. so long they believe in it. They even have gone

  946. farther than they want to go. They don't know they have,

  947. but they have. They even announced it. He believes in homosexuality.

  948. You can't tell him you done gone too far now.

  949. DJ's believes in it. That's because he is a homosexual.

  950. He believes in it.

  951. He said that he ain't got no.

  952. Problem with it.

  953. He said that the homosexuals should have their own church

  954. to go to. He said that on national TV.

  955. You see, I follow their lifestyle.

  956. I follow their lifestyle.

  957. You got to know your enemy. Because why?

  958. You can't expose your enemy if you don't know him.

  959. The Lord said expose them. It pays to serve God.

  960. But if you choose to go with the world and rebel.

  961. With the world in the thing of the world you

  962. will land in the devil's head.

  963. But if you serve God, you will inherit not only

  964. eternal life, but a life with Jesus Christ and the

  965. angels in heaven also. So which will you serve? This

  966. is a question for you to answer. Nobody can answer

  967. that question but you. Nobody can answer where will you

  968. be when he calls all the nations together Setting the.

  969. Goats on the left and the sheep on the right.

  970. Where will you be? On the left or on the right?

  971. Only you can answer that. Who will you serve?

  972. Only you.

  973. I can tell you who to serve. But it's still

  974. your choice to make. God told you which way to go.

  975. But then he said it's still your.

  976. Choice to make.

  977. And then he also, see, God is so wonderful. He

  978. even tell you what to choose. But it's still up

  979. to you to choose. He said, I set before you

  980. life and death. That's what he said in the book

  981. of Deuteronomy. I set before you life and death. You choose.

  982. That's what he said. But choose life. Told you what

  983. to choose from. Then told you what to choose. But

  984. it left it up to you to choose. But for me,

  985. I'm like Joshua. I'm going to serve my Lord and

  986. Savior Jesus Christ. But for me, I can't choose for

  987. my wife or my kids.

  988. But for me, I.

  989. Ain't be holding their hand when Jesus comes.

  990. They ain't going to be holding mine.

  991. You're going to be on your own.

  992. They're going to be your own choice you make. But

  993. for me, I choose my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

  994. In case you didn't hear me, for me, I choose

  995. my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Charles William Tompkins chooses

  996. my Lord and Jesus Christ. I said my, because it's personal.

  997. My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And I conclude, Jesus,

  998. the Lord. I stand at the door and I'm not.

  999. This is Jesus.

  1000. Said, I behold, I stand at the door and I knock.

  1001. And if any man hear my.

  1002. Voice and open the door, I will come in to

  1003. him and will sought with him and he with me.

  1004. This is God's word. For God so loved the world.

  1005. There it is.

  1006. I know where that comes from. Everybody know that scripture.

  1007. John 3, 16. Come on now. For God so loved

  1008. the world that he, because he so loved the world,

  1009. he gave. Because he loved the world, he gave. Because

  1010. he so loved the world, he went into action and

  1011. he gave his only begotten son. See, we are the

  1012. grafted in. We are the grafted in of God. We

  1013. are the adopted of God But Jesus was the begotten

  1014. of God.

  1015. And he gave him his only begotten son. And he

  1016. used Abraham to.

  1017. Symbolize that with his only begotten saved son.

  1018. But he.

  1019. Should be able to slave son. altar but God had

  1020. a ram in the bush. He was just showing you.

  1021. You love me enough to give up your son? Because

  1022. I love you enough to give up mine. So he

  1023. gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him

  1024. should not perish but have everlasting life. He gave and

  1025. if that don't mean nothing to you then don't serve him.

  1026. But if it means something to you serve him completely

  1027. Not just serving, but completely. See, God is not a

  1028. half God. He wants you all. He wants all of you,

  1029. or none of you. And whatever little thing you're doing

  1030. that you don't think God is aware of, or even

  1031. if you believe he's aware of, and you think it's

  1032. okay to do, because God understands. See, that's where you

  1033. miss it. God does understand. He does. All those folks

  1034. running around talking about, well, God knows my heart. You

  1035. don't cut the person out talking about, well, God knows

  1036. my heart.

  1037. Yeah, he knows your heart. He knows it's wicked. He

  1038. knows your heart is wicked.

  1039. And the little damn little things that you do that.

  1040. You think are simple, you're wicked.

  1041. Actions. A whole lot of saved folks think that they

  1042. can do their own will outside of God's will. But

  1043. you can't. It's all of his will and none of

  1044. his will. That's just who God is. He won't apologize

  1045. for it and neither will I. I question the very

  1046. things that I do. Because I got to make sure. See,

  1047. you got to be sure. See, when you miss that exit,

  1048. ain't no turning back. So you got to be sure.

  1049. You got to be like Paul. Paul said, I'm fully persuaded.

  1050. I'm fully. And Paul, he left a trail that if

  1051. you follow, because he was following Jesus, because it's a

  1052. Jesus trail, you can't lose.

  1053. He left a trail.

  1054. He even let you know, don't feel ashamed because of what.

  1055. You used to do. I said used to do, not

  1056. do no more. He said, don't.

  1057. And the reason why I say you used to do

  1058. it is because people will tell you what you used

  1059. to do.

  1060. Oh, yeah, they did. I had somebody tell me that

  1061. when I was out of town. You know, you used to.

  1062. I said, hold on.

  1063. Throw my past over my face.

  1064. It's my past. My past.

  1065. It don't mean nothing. What I'm doing now will matter.

  1066. Not my past. Past always. That's why I call it past.

  1067. It's over with.

  1068. Can't bring it back. Can't do nothing with it. Ain't

  1069. nothing you can do with it. Because if you could,

  1070. then you can do something with time.

  1071. Once the time is.

  1072. Gone, it's gone.

  1073. You can't get it back. You get more money, can't

  1074. get more time. Once it's gone, it's gone. Amen?

  1075. So it's coming, people.

  1076. And you don't know when. But it is coming.

  1077. And sometimes It looks like it takes so long. It's

  1078. because we live in time. God lives in eternity.

  1079. That's different.

  1080. Everything has already happened to God. Everything is still happening

  1081. to us. We live in time. But we don't know

  1082. what time it will be. But that time will come.

  1083. And we all are going to face two appointments. Death

  1084. and judgment. So the question is, how will you face it?

  1085. For me, my hope and my prayer in the Lord

  1086. Jesus Christ, I'll face it.

  1087. It is not my plan. Ever.

  1088. And it'll never be my plan to hear the part

  1089. from you. No, that's not for me.

  1090. Come on in. That good and faithful servant.

  1091. Well done. Now you got to understand something. Don't be confused.

  1092. We trip and we stumble through life. But as long

  1093. as we understand our wrong and don't get stubborn minded

  1094. and selfish and repent of our wrong. Even if people

  1095. Even if Lisa walked up to me and said, Pastor,

  1096. I didn't like what you said.

  1097. It offended me.

  1098. And I know within my heart, the totalness of my heart,

  1099. I didn't say that to offend her. But yet I

  1100. have to repent. And she believes I wronged her. And

  1101. I did.

  1102. Even if I know I didn't.

  1103. Are you with me?

  1104. That's a God-made love.

  1105. So what am I supposed to say? Forgive me, sister Lisa.

  1106. Forgive me, sister. Forgive me, brother James. That's my job.

  1107. That's my side. That's what I'm supposed to do. That's

  1108. my part. I've told you about parts. It's not everybody's part.

  1109. It's my part. Amen? So whatever you do, be watchful

  1110. of your own soul because The devil's after you. There

  1111. ain't nothing he can do to you. And don't believe

  1112. because you get saved, sanctified, holy, go to you with

  1113. a mighty burden of pride. Go into service every Sunday,

  1114. every Wednesday or Tuesday.

  1115. Go into all these revivals.

  1116. This is going to guarantee you a part of heaven.

  1117. A holy life guarantees you a part of heaven. Amen?

  1118. Give God a hand. It is my prayer that the

  1119. Lord use me to speak something to your heart that

  1120. will resonate in your heart. And you can have fun

  1121. in this life. You know, I had a person walk

  1122. up to me because he knew I was saved.

  1123. He loved God.

  1124. He said, you got to be, you must live a

  1125. boring life. That's what he told me. That's what he

  1126. told me because I serve God. He believed because I

  1127. serve God, I can't do nothing. I said, brother, you

  1128. are self-sufficient. I'm having the time of my life now.

  1129. You said it was this. I'm happy, full of joy,

  1130. full of peace. In the midst of a storm, I'm

  1131. still cheesing from ear to ear. When you suffer in misery.

  1132. So don't let nobody convince you because you're serving God.

  1133. You can't do that. We can do anything we want

  1134. to do to serve God.

  1135. Amen.

  1136. Amen.

  1137. They just tell you you couldn't watch TV or television.

  1138. You just got to know how to get the hell

  1139. out of the division. They just tell you you couldn't

  1140. wear certain clothes. You just got to wear your clothes

  1141. and be modest and powerful. That's what the Bible says.

  1142. They say you can't go to certain places. I can

  1143. go to the club if I want to. But see,

  1144. when I go in the club, I ain't going for

  1145. the club.

  1146. I'm going in there looking for souls.

  1147. You don't hear what I'm saying. If you can't do that,

  1148. you don't even go in the club when you find

  1149. yourself on the dance floor.

  1150. He's twerking.

  1151. Earl Flynn and twerking and everything. Because you ain't strong

  1152. enough to go in no club. I ain't going to club.

  1153. But I'll only go if God sent me. Amen?

  1154. I ain't going to liquor store.

  1155. Because I ain't never been a drinker. I ain't going

  1156. to crack house because I ain't never been a doper.

  1157. As a matter of fact, I used to teach AA.

  1158. I used to teach alcoholic anomalies, and I used to

  1159. teach drug anomalies.

  1160. I used to teach them.

  1161. And I always get that student in the class who

  1162. think he knows something. How you going to teach us about,

  1163. you've been an alcoholic? I say, I ain't never been

  1164. an alcoholic. He says, how you going to tell us

  1165. where we've been if you ain't been there? I say,

  1166. I ain't got to go with you. I was smart

  1167. enough not to go, but I can tell you why

  1168. you went. How about that? And I can tell you

  1169. how to get out. And I told him, I said,

  1170. sit down and you'll learn something.

  1171. I taught any.

  1172. I said the same thing. You ain't never been on drugs.

  1173. How are you going to tell us about being on drugs?

  1174. Trust me, brother, I can tell you about being on drugs.

  1175. So sit down. And the guy came up to me

  1176. after the end of class and said, man, how did

  1177. you know all this? I said, I told you, sit

  1178. down and you'll learn something. But let me tell you

  1179. what you learn. You see, I'm a man of God.

  1180. And the Bible tells me that I ought to be

  1181. able to teach A-L-L things. Here we go. A-L-L things.

  1182. All things. Why? Because the Holy Ghost knows all things.

  1183. And he can teach it to me because he is

  1184. the teacher. And when I got through in that class,

  1185. they're all, especially the one that Asked a question. Was

  1186. a man. Because he's the one that came up to

  1187. the front of the class and said, how did you

  1188. know all that if you ain't never been on, if

  1189. you ain't never.

  1190. Been at the hospital?

  1191. I said, man, the Holy Ghost will kick you off.

  1192. I told you. Amen?

  1193. Let us stand.

  1194. I know I was kind of lengthy today, but I

  1195. just knew in my spirit that this is, this is

  1196. really detrimental to our life.

  1197. It really is detrimental.

  1198. We have to look at our own lives. It's not

  1199. that you can't have fun in life. You can have

  1200. fun in life. As a matter of fact, when you

  1201. get saved, you really are having fun in life. Amen.

  1202. So there are things we can do. I mean, if

  1203. you ain't married, you can fellowship with a guy. You

  1204. just got to keep it holy. I said fellowship. Ain't

  1205. no boyfriends and girlfriends. It ain't in the Bible. All

  1206. the Bible talk about is a fiancee.

  1207. That's what Mary was to Joseph.

  1208. She was a spouse to him.

  1209. So she was his fiance.

  1210. And God called her his wife and him her husband

  1211. before they ever said anything. See, I'm telling you the

  1212. will of God. The will of God is not a

  1213. boy or a girl. It's either a fiance or a

  1214. dead man. Amen.

  1215. God's will.

  1216. I can drink a little wine for stomach's sake. That

  1217. ain't God's will. You can't drink a little wine. You

  1218. can't drink a little nothing. Water, juice, apple salt, apple cider.

  1219. You see, the Bible says wine is a mockery. It says,

  1220. spin you around the world, you're going to get stinking.

  1221. You know what that means? That means once you drink

  1222. the wine, after a while, then you get your bug.

  1223. That's where it says it's sneaky like a snake. That's

  1224. the snake part, when the bugs come from drinking. That's

  1225. what the Bible says. Because if you could drink, then

  1226. why did God say present your bodies holy and acceptable

  1227. in Him? Your body ain't holy with alcohol in it.

  1228. Your body ain't holy fornicating.

  1229. Your body ain't holy smoking and drinking. Your body ain't

  1230. holy cursing, using profanity rather.

  1231. That ain't holy.

  1232. You can't present that to God. My cousin walked up

  1233. to me and I'm done. He says to me, What

  1234. do you think about gospel rap? I said, I'll tell

  1235. you what I think about it. It's not gospel rap.

  1236. I said, you got to think about this, son. When

  1237. you said now rapping, do you think God accepts that?

  1238. A holy God accepts that?

  1239. Come on now.

  1240. He only accepts worship. You think rapping to God is worship?

  1241. Rapping don't put you in a worship mode.

  1242. You want to boogaloo. It's no gospel rap.

  1243. It's just worldly rap. But you can keep it clean

  1244. because music is not demonic to God as long as

  1245. it's not demonic.

  1246. I mean, some people may say that because of the

  1247. Holy Roll.

  1248. I've been listening to music for my life. Teddy P.

  1249. With my wife.

  1250. Now there ain't going to be nowhere else I'm going

  1251. to turn out the light. Because the flesh ain't nothing

  1252. to play with. You know what I'm saying? You ain't saving.

  1253. You think you can control your flesh? The devil has

  1254. deceived you.

  1255. I tried that a lot of times, but I wouldn't save.

  1256. Didn't work out.

  1257. I was hula hooping out the wire.

  1258. That's when the brawl was getting around your ankle. Oh yeah.

  1259. Said I can teach y'all things. That's one of.

  1260. Them.

  1261. At least, oh no, Pastor.

  1262. But that's what it is.

  1263. Before you know it, that flesh will have your hoo-hoo.

  1264. And then you'll be looking up at it, looking broken,

  1265. looking crazy, going, what happened? Folks say they love the

  1266. Lord and they ain't even send somebody your way.

  1267. Don't open the door. Tell them it's too late. Don't

  1268. bring somebody with you. We can have a witness. We

  1269. can have a witness. Into a more.

  1270. Amen. Amen.

  1271. Let us pray. Father we thank you Lord for your word.

  1272. Your word will lead us in the right direction. It

  1273. will not fail. And it will not come back void

  1274. to you. It will go forth and do what you

  1275. cause it to do Lord. Because you have declared that

  1276. you watch over your word. To do what you tell

  1277. it to do. It shall not fail you. Nor will

  1278. it fill up. You change not God. You compromise not.

  1279. What you say. You have said. And you mean it.

  1280. It's up to us. To take it. The way you

  1281. meant for us to take it. And we need the

  1282. Holy Spirit. To break it down to us. That we'll

  1283. be doing your will. According to your will. Not according

  1284. to what we think it is. Not according to what

  1285. we suspect it may be. Not making assumptions or having

  1286. our own opinion.

  1287. But what your.

  1288. Will is designed for and what it is to us

  1289. to do.

  1290. And to know it.

  1291. And to know that we know, that we know, that

  1292. we know that we're in our standing with you. That's

  1293. what we want to know. And we can only know

  1294. that by the help of the Holy Spirit. So we

  1295. beseech you therefore, Father, in the name of Jesus Christ.

  1296. that you continue to impart your holy word, your holy

  1297. direction in the name of Jesus. In this dying world,

  1298. we need your strength in these last and evil, demonic

  1299. and wicked times.

  1300. Help us to stand on your word. Don't let us

  1301. lose faith, God.

  1302. Don't let us fall short. But God, if we happen

  1303. to stumble, let us weevil and wobble, but don't let

  1304. us fall down. Hold us up, God, with your mighty hand.

  1305. We don't want to be lost. We want to do

  1306. your will.

  1307. That one day, the day that you have appointed, we'll

  1308. all hear, well done, good and faithful in the name

  1309. of Jesus. Lord, I speak to you in supplication to

  1310. those that stand in Jesus' You know we all need it.

  1311. I'm asking you to tell us that situation. Whatever it

  1312. may be, God, you know, they know, and I know.

  1313. I know what mine is and they know what theirs is.

  1314. We all know what we need of from you. So

  1315. help us, Lord, whatever the need is. We need help

  1316. in our mind. We need help in our body. Healing.

  1317. Healing in our mind. Healing, God, in our relationship. Healing

  1318. in our family. Healing in our family. Whatever we need, God,

  1319. you know what it is individually and collectively. So I'm

  1320. asking you right now in your service, in the name

  1321. of Jesus Christ, by the help of the Lord.

  1322. Do it now.

  1323. Make haste. For we know not the day is come.

  1324. So make haste, God, and do it now. This is

  1325. my prayer for you, for the people, God, and for

  1326. my children.

  1327. And I know, God, that you heard me.

  1328. And I thank you, Jesus, that you always hear me

  1329. when I pray. In your name, in the whole church,

  1330. thank God.
