New Recording (draft)

We do thank and praise God for all that he does, amen?

Yes. We claim that him is the head of our life, amen?

Some claim he's the head of their life, but they

still live in their own life. But we're claiming a

true Savior, amen? That God is the head of our life.

We move, we live, and we breathe because of him, amen?

Amen. We give our all to him.

Not some of us, but all of us. We give

all of ourselves to him. He don't want some of us.

He wants all of us. We made our declaration and

our claim that here we are, Lord, a wretch undone.

Save me.

We realized then that there was nothing we could do

to live a life that would please the God. And

we knew then it took Jesus to save our soul,

that we won't wind up in the devil's hell.

It is the devil's hell, amen. It is the devil's hell.

Everybody that goes to hell, they're breaking and entering, amen.

As I told you before, they're just breaking and entering.

Hell was not made for God's people. Hell was made

for the devil and the fallen angels. Hell was not

even made for those that walk around and become sinners.

It was made for the devil and his fallen angels.

God made it quite clear. Amen. You go to hell

because you're breaking in hell.

The door to heaven is wide open to those who

continue in righteousness.

Amen. Who wants to break in hell? Come on now.

You can't get out once you break in. Amen, somebody.

Let me move along. Go with me to the book

of St. John, chapter 11. I'm going to be as

John 11 · chapter mention

quick as the Lord allowed me to be.

Say John chapter 11. And when you get there, say amen.

John 11 · chapter mention

Say John chapter 11.

John 11 · chapter mention

I don't always give you the verse right away, but

y'all start reading it. I want you to start reading it.

I want you to pay attention, amen. I'll let you

know it's in chapter.

11, though. Amen.

Let us look to the Lord. Father, we thank you

yet for another day, God. Truly it is a blessing, God.

You woke us up in our right mind, God. Gave

us the activities of our limbs, God. Gave us eyes

to see and ears to hear, mouth to speak, God,

in the name of Jesus. Lord, we thank you. So

many woke up but couldn't get up. But we woke up, God,

and we got up on your power, Lord, in the

name of Jesus Christ. So many don't even have hands

and wish that they could wave and wish that they

could clap. But, God, you gave them, so we're going

to use them to your glory. Hey, hallelujah, in the

name of Jesus.

We bless your.

Soul today, God, and we thank you for allowing little

of us to come in such a great God's presence

this morning in the name of Jesus. Thank you so

much about us, God. You love us so much, God.

Even teaching us how to love like you love, Father God.

Help us, Holy Spirit.

Help us.

Help us to be like Jesus. We don't want to

be like Mike. We want to be like Jesus. We

don't want to be like anybody but Jesus.

Hallelujah.

For Jesus never fails. And we thank you, Lord, that

you are that rock in our lives. We thank you, Lord,

that you are that healer in our lives. We thank you, Lord,

that you are the joy and the peace in our lives, God.

We come today to give you glory, give you praise.

We don't come for no other shape, form, or fashion.

It's all about you and some about us.

God, in the name of Jesus Christ. We come only

for that, God.

To hear a word that will help us in our

salvation of life.

A word that will keep us on the straight and narrow, Lord.

A word, God, that will prosper us.

In our soul, God. Even, God, as we prosper in

the life you've given us, Father. We thank you, God. God,

we just thank you. If we had a thousand tongues,

it wouldn't be enough. But all that you equipped us with,

we use it to your glory.

We give you.

Thanks, God. We give you praise in this house. And

it is in Jesus' name. And the church said, thank God.

Amen and amen. In the book of St. John, moving

right along. Chapter 11, starting at verse 21. And the

Bible says to the people of God, Then said Martha

unto Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother

had not died.

Evidently, Martha didn't fully know who Jesus was.

But I know, she said, that even now, whosoever you are,

will ask of God, whatsoever you will ask of God,

God will give it you. She wasn't real clear, but

it was clear to her who Jesus was.

At this point.

Martha said unto him, I know that he shall rise again. Well,

let's go to 23. Jesus said, I skipped that. Unto her,

your brother shall rise again. And he said that very

plainly to her. But she misunderstood what he meant by that.

So she said, Martha said unto him, I know that

he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

Jesus said, you misunderstood me. He said, Jesus said unto her,

I am the resurrection.

I am the life.

He who believes in me, though he were dead, yet

shall he live. And whosoever lives and believes in me

shall never die. She said unto him, Lord, yes, Lord,

I believe that you are the Christ. Now he's coming

into it. And gave her some understanding. I believe that

you are the Christ, the son of God, which should

come into the world. So now Martha's proclaiming her belief

in the Lord. Her belief now is different. The light

came on than it was previously.

You understand? Now she believes that Jesus is God. Let's

jump down to 33.

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping and the Jews also

weeping which came with her So a crowd came with her.

It was a crowd of people that came and were

weeping because Lazarus was.

A good guy. He groaned in the spirit and he

was troubled. He was troubled. And he said, where have

you lived? He was troubled So now he.

Ready to know where have you laid Lazarus, my friend?

Where have you laid him?

They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

So now they're.

Leading Jesus to the tomb. Then said the Jews, behold,

how he loved him.

No, let me back up. I'm moving, I'm moving too fast.

I'm excited. Jesus said unto them, Where have you laid him?

They said unto him, Lord, come and see. So they

led him to the tomb.

And the shortest verse in the Bible, 35, Jesus wept.

Tears of sorrow.

Then said the Jews, because they saw him weep, how

he loved him. How he loved him. I want to

talk to us today about because he cared. Because he cares.

You may be seated in the house of the Lord.

Because he cares. Jesus previously, before this, was away when

he got the message about Lazarus being sick.

Unto death.

And he said to his disciples, he told them, let

the dead bury the dead. Jesus, they kept telling him

about Elijah's. But Jesus waited four days on purpose before

he ever went to where Elijah's was.

There was a reason for that.

He knew on the fourth day they would, you know

they had these customs and traditions now. He knew on

the fourth day that Elijah's, if they would truly believe

that he was truly dead. And he came on the first, second,

and third day In Latin, woke up and said he

was in a coma.

But that fourth day when Jesus came.

And when he came, Mary and Martha approached him in mourning.

It was sad because Lazarus had already died and they

had already put him in a tomb. And they knew

at that point They wrapped him and then they put

the myrrh and all of that on him to keep the.

Body from stinking in the tomb.

And it suggests to us that he was not the

only one in the tomb.

Because when Jesus.

Came to the tomb, after being led to the tomb,

he says, Lazarus, rise and come forth. If he had

just said come forth, everybody in the tomb would have

got up because there was power in his words.

So he had to call him by name. But he

was troubled.

And because he was troubled, he was troubled because he

felt the mourning of the people.

But then the Bible says, and he wept.

And the Jews that looked at him gathered their own

opinion as to say, have.

You loved him? Because he cared.

And Jesus was showing the human side of him of

how much he cares for us. But there's another side.

How much do we care for him? You see, Jesus

may have been troubled. There's no real explanation, but there

are many reasons why he could have wept. One very

well could have been because Lazarus had died, but I

have to wonder because he is the resurrection.

So why would I weep if he died.

When I can raise him up again? But could have

been one of the reasons. But Jesus may have been

troubled by the excessive sorrow of the mourners. You know,

you be around a whole lot of people crying. If

you got any affection in you, it might cause a problem.

He could have been troubled by Martha and Mary's limited faith.

Or by the general unbelief.

But even more so, he was angry at the power

of death, which was man's ultimate enemy.

Death is our last enemy. Amen to that.

In the book of 1 Corinthians, and around about the

15th chapter, And the 24th verse.

The Bible lets us know. The 24th. It says.

Then comes the end. Now this ain't referring to the

total end. But it's concerning. A rapture time. When he shall.

Have delivered up. The kingdom of God. Even the father.

When he shall have put on all rule and all

authority and power.

When he shall put on all rule and all authority

and power. He got it all.

For he, Jesus, must reign till he has put all enemies.

Somebody say all. All enemies under his foot. All enemies.

Watch this. The last enemy, verse 26.

That shall be destroyed is what? What? Death.

Death is the last enemy.

So while there was amongst him the commotion and the

loud wailing of mourners, Jesus wept. So what made him cry?

Was it the love for Lazarus? Was it the presence

of sadness and death? Or was it the faithless grief

that surrounded him? Whatever the reason, the situation caused Jesus

to shed a tear.

The Jews believed.

His tears to be a sign of his great love

for Lazarus. They believed that Jesus wept in frustration and

sorrow that he had not arrived early enough in order

to heal Lazarus.

Like it's his fault.

But that could not have been, that could not have

been so because he had the power. You just read

what I showed you. He had the power and the

authority with the power. See, you didn't have power, but

you didn't have that authority. See, that couldn't have been

so because Jesus had the power to raise the dead.

Jesus showed that he cares enough for us and he's

yet still showing how much he cares for us. That

he cares so much for us that he went to

the cross, died for our sins, That we may live

and not die. And after he came.

Was resurrected. He came back again for 50 some days.

And walked the earth.

Then ascended up to heaven. But before he descended. He

left us some help. Because he loves us. He left

us the Holy Ghost. Because he knew it took a spirit.

To fight a spirit. See the devil is a spirit.

Jesus showed that he cared.

Enough for us.

To weep with us in our sorrow, in our limited faith,

even our unbelief. Jesus wants so much for us to

love him. Oh, he wants so much for us to

love him.

As he loves us.

And this is love that's consistent of us trusting in him. See,

there's no way You can trust Jesus without loving him.

There's no way you can love him without trusting him.

And there's no way you can say you trust him

when you doubt him. There's no way you can say

you trust him when you don't stand on his word. See,

we got to stand on every word of God. You

got so many doubters. You got so many drivers in

the wrong direction for God's people. They tell you, every

book ain't in his Bible. So, every book in there

is already in it. All I need. And all I

really need to know is that Jesus died on the

cross for my sins. And if I believe on him,

I shall be saved. There's other books in the Bible.

Well, you read them. Man wrote his Bible. No, he didn't.

My Bible says all scripture was given by the inspiration

of God. So, if you love him, You'll stand on

his word. And you won't be moved by ideology, opinion,

doctrine of men, theology, denominational teaching.

You won't be moved by none of that.

Denominational teaching is not God's word, first of all.

Denomination is not even from God.

Baptists, Catholics, seven-day Adventists, Church of God and Christ, Of

the devil.

God is not divided. They all have their own step

and rules and regulations. Ain't but one God. One gospel.

One mind.

One spirit.

One soul. They make it up as they go along.

It's already been made. It's denominational. Denominational is of the devil.

Can I prove it once more again brothers? Was Jesus

a Baptist? Was he church and God in Christ? Huh?

Was he seven day of Venice? Was he Catholic? God

ain't never told us to be nothing but holy. He

told you to be no Baptist, no Catholic. He said

be holy for I am holy. He didn't say for

I am Baptist. He didn't say for I am Catholic.

He said for I am holy. And he said, you

be ye holy. I ain't tell you to.

Believe in the preacher, the apostle, the bishop. He said,

believe in him. That's what he said.

And that's what we trust in. We don't trust in

no pastor. We don't trust in no bishop. I don't

care what kind of title you got. Those titles was

given for the edification of the church. But they're not

edifying the church, they're edifying themselves. Business running around robbing

the church. Evangelists is robbing. Preachers, teachers, apostles, robbing God's people.

And they ain't even the big problem. They're a problem,

but they're not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is

the people in the church. Because they don't trust in him.

They allow these folks to be pumped up in themselves

thinking they're doing something and they ain't doing nothing.

But leading people straight to hell.

Why? Because the people are not trusting in him. You're

not trusting in him. Our focus is Jesus Christ. Your

focus ain't no man. You gotta know The only way

you can focus on a man is what Paul said.

Follow me as I follow Christ. Now you can focus

on him because you're not really focusing on him. You're

focusing on Jesus and him.

Are you with me?

Are you understanding what I'm saying? The Bible said all

you're getting is an understanding. You focus on him because

you see him in him.

But when you don't see him in him, you better

go somewhere else. Run!

Run! This love is consistent of us in trusting him

and believing in him and believing in his word. He

has done so much for us in the time that

we have lived up until right now. But we don't

even have to come all the way up until right now.

The day that he hit the cross was all that

was needed to be done for us. You don't hear

what I'm saying. If he don't give you another dime,

another dollar, he don't give you another new car, a house,

another shred of clothes. He's done more than enough by

the cross.

You don't hear what I'm saying.

He's done more than enough done so much for us

in the time that we have lived even up to now.

He has given us so much in this life. And

the fact that he gave us life is more than enough.

And you know, Jesus has given us so much that

we're so slow sometimes. And some slow all the time.

He has given us so much in this life. And

a lot of us, I mean a lot of us.

I ain't talking about the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

I'm talking about millions of us. He has given us

so much. And the fact that he's given us all

of this.

Millions. He has given so much. We don't use what

he has given us. Millions. He has given.

Because Technically, truly, every living human being on this earth.

I don't care what country you are, what city you are,

what continent you're on.

He has given every one of us the same thing.

He's given it to us. For it is. Everybody in

the world.

So let me change my millions to billions. He's given

it to us. And what he has given us, we

don't even use what he has given us. Millions, billions

don't even use what he gave us. Let me tell

you what he gave us. Let me tell you what

Jesus gave us. Let me just give you a few

things that he's given us. One of the biggest things

he gave us we don't even use. The Bible says

God has given every man a measure of what? He's

given us faith and he gave us that faith to

believe in him. And what he has already done, that's

what he gave us. He gave us this faith to

believe in him and to believe in what he's already done.

And what he's already done for us. But we still

are in an unbelief and a doubtful state. He's given

us peace to stand in the midst of our storms.

He showed us how you can stand in the midst

of a storm. He showed us at least twice, we know,

on the waters. He showed us when his crucifixion, when

they came for him in the garden of Gethsemane.

He showed us his peace. And then he turned around

and gave us peace. And to stand in the midst

of our storms. Ha! Glory to God.

To stand in the midst of our storms. The storms

of life. When sinners are taxed. When your husband leaves you.

When your wife leaves you. When your children are cutting up.

When your car gets totaled. Or your car break down.

You let your bill $ 700. He gave us peace to

stand in the midst of our storms. When people are

stabbing you in the back. When folks are stolen from you.

Lying on you. He gave you peace to stand in

the midst of your storms. Those are your storms of life.

And some still choose.

To be shaken. He's given us joy. That the world

cannot understand. He has given us this joy. And you

know this joy and peace works hand in hand. I

still got joy. Man ran into a car and told

him that. I still got joy. I still got joy.

I still got peace in the midst of my stone.

He gave us that.

It's not like the world's peace. See, the world's peace

is conditional. His peace is not. The world's joy is conditional.

As long as everything is going all right, the world

has peace and joy.

It's not conditional. God's Joy, God, peace, it.

Don't matter what's going on, where it's turmoil, where it's

peace going on, and whether everything is all right and

whether everything looks like it's not all right. You still

got joy. You still got peace. As long as we

trust in him. Here's the problem with the saints of God.

They can't trust him fully. You know why?

Somebody help me. You know why? You know why? Because

they don't know him.

You got to know him to know you can trust him.

You hear me deep?

How you going to trust somebody you don't know? And

it's a fool to say I trust everybody. You a fool.

I trust no one. I trust no one but Jesus.

And if you got Jesus, I got you trusting. How

you going to trust him? How are you going to

know about the peace that he gives? He gave it,

but if you don't know it, you don't know where

it comes from.

How are.

You going to know it? Right here. You got to

get in his word.

This is his will.

This is his mind. How are you going to let

this mind be in you that was also in Christ

if you don't let it? And when you let it,

you'll know the peace he's given and the joy he's

extended to us. But we're still shaking with this piece

of joy. Because we don't know. We don't know the

strength of it. We have to be, we have to

condition ourselves. This is how you condition yourself. He gave

us self-control. It's still full clocking out.

Going off.

Stripping. He gave us self-control. So what he cussed you out.

So what he cussed you out. You can't cuss them

out and say, God, they cussed me out first, so

I cussed them out.

You know what God's going to tell you?

He ain't judging you for their actions. I'm judging you

for your reactions to the action. What you going to do?

I love it, but what you going to do? What

you going to do? What you going to do?

What you going to do?

Because they tapped your cock and kept on walking knowing

they'd hit you.

What you going to do?

Because you opened the door with somebody and they kept

walking and didn't say thank you. That was your choice

to open the door. And God gave them the choice

to say thank you and keep walking. You don't control

that choice. You want to control yours. Don't open the

door if you don't think nobody will say thank you.

You'll be all right. They don't owe you nothing.

We say ethically you should say thank you. Well, if

they don't, what you gonna, hey, you ain't see me

open the door for you?

Oh yeah, that's all. They ain't choose to say thank you. Man,

you upset. Tell everybody. Open the door for her. She

ain't have nothing, courtesy to say thank you. She ain't

have to.

It's a choice.

Where's your self-control? He gave us self-control.

And we still, some of us are still choosing to

trip and to go off, having fit. Where's your self-control?

You know you had two hamburgers and fries and a drink.

You don't need another hamburger. Where your self-control at? You

been gluttonous. You done had two plates. Where your self-control? Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Look at her, boy. She showed me a sign. And

you left it all over the place. Where your self-control?

I don't know who left that 20 right there.

Where your self-control? Why you stealing?

You don't know who left it. But one thing you

do know, you didn't leave it.

And he's given us love.

That the world don't understand this love. Because this love

is the driving force of your joy and your peace

and your self-control. Love is the driving force. You see,

this love is just like the joy and the peace

and the self-control. It don't have no conditioning. You see,

the world has a filial love. And God has agape love.

And the filial love says, I love you because.

You love me.

If you don't love me, I don't love you. Hate me,

I hate you. But see, the agape love says, I

love you no matter what. There's no conditions on agape love.

You hate me, I still love you. You despise me,

I still love you. You talk about me like a dog, I.

Still love you.

You stole from me, I still love you. You cuss

me out, I still love you. That's the love of God.

It's unconditional. There's no conditions to His love. It is

just love.

Continuously. Okay?

I don't love what you did, but I still love you.

You stole from me. I hate that, but.

I still love you. Talked about me like a dog.

I hate that, but I still love you.

See, the love of God, which I learned years ago,

God showed me how to separate that thing.

He said... God loves the sinner.

He just hates the sin they commit.

Huh?

He just don't love the children of God. He loves

the sinner too. He just don't love the sin.

That they do. He loves them people in hell. He

don't love the fact that he.

Is. You see, God's love is unconditional. He's going to

love no matter what. I say it like this. You

can't make me continue. Notice the wording. As I told

you earlier, wording is very important in the Bible. When

the Bible said word on word, precept on precept, you

have to listen to the words because the words will

match you.

Up to the understanding. You can't make me hate you.

The key word is make me.

Because see, it was a lie when Philip Winston told

everybody that they believed him.

The devil made me do it. The devil ain't never

made nobody do nothing but himself.

He didn't even make the third of the angels follow

him down to get kicked out of heaven with him.

They made a choice.

You people running around talking about I heard a voice.

God told me to kill them people. That's what the

man said when he came into church and pulled the

pistol on the preacher. He had already killed somebody previously.

They found that out when they went back to his house.

He killed an elderly man previously.

Then came to church, pulled the pistol on the preacher,

pulled the trigger, but the gun jacked him.

See, his voice has told him to do what he did.

God's voice.

See, that's what I tell you. You better know the

voice of God. God ain't told you to pull no

trigger and kill nobody. Because God said the house should

not kill. Why would he kill somebody?

God don't even kill.

Contrary to Papa Phil, God took him out because it

was time for him to go.

No, he didn't.

Sin took him out. Sin is unto death. God don't

contradict his word. He said it's not his will that

he should perish. Why would he kill somebody? See, you

got to know him. And when you know him, you

can trust him. See, you got to get to know him.

Because he gave us this love that the world doesn't understand.

And we still, we still, even though he gave us

his love, we're taking his love and still putting conditions

on it.

And his love is unconditional.

We still putting conditions on it and being tricked by

the devil. I don't hate her. I just don't like her. Well,

that's a sifting of the devil. You either love or

hate her. There's no in between with God. The devil

got you saying, I don't hate her, I just don't

like her.

No, you hate her. Because the love of God is unconditional.

The love of God don't say, I don't hate her,

I just don't like her. The love of God loves her.

But we keep putting conditions on God's love. And because

of his love, you know the biggest thing he gave

you with love?

His life. His son.

His life.

His son. Same thing. So that death couldn't take us out.

And come.

He gave us his life so death could not take

us out. Those of us who receive his son.

Don't get it twisted. I've proven to you many times.

We are not.

All the children of God as they taught you. Scripture

don't say that. Scripture say there are some who are

the children.

Of the devil. That's scripture. So if there are some

who are the children of the devil, we ain't all

God's children. We're not all God's children.

But those that believe and receive the life, that death

can't take us out. And some of us still, because

he gave us his life, some of us still refuse to.

Live So I can see now why he wins.

After all that he gave us and millions and millions

of us refused to receive what he gave us. He

gave us his life and then he gave us all

that he could receive because of his life. I now

know why he did we. After all he has done

for us, we still have not taken hold of what

he really means to us. We still, the church, has

not taken hold to what Jesus Christ really means to us.

Still going to church, still don't.

Understand what Jesus Christ means to them and to us.

Still don't understand. Going to church 52 times a year

and something more.

Some people having a whole month of revival, come out

of revival and still don't know what Jesus means to them.

Having a whole week of revivals and still don't know

what Jesus means to them. Going to church every Sunday

of the year which is 52 Sundays and still.

Don't know what Jesus means to them. Why wouldn't he weep?

That's enough to make me cry. Most folks ain't having

revivals no more. God told me years ago there ain't

nothing but.

What I call fundraisers. Fundraisers. A week of snatching your

pockets off of them. That's all. A week of you

giving and going home and can't pay your electricity. You

done gave and gave and gave and ain't nothing changed.

Why do you think they call it a revival? You're

supposed to be revived. Your spirit's supposed to be revived.

Them folks still having a fool when they come out

of them. They're having a fool when they come out

to their other revival every night.

Nothing changed. So who's been revived? The pastor, the speaker,

his pockets are being revived. You know revival? It's fundraising.

It's fundraising.

And then they come on Friday. It's the last day

of revival. What are they coming for?

Brother Mary? Because they're serving dinner on the last day

of revival. They're coming to eat.

They're coming to get their belly full. Fill up their flesh.

Spirit ain't done nothing. So I can see why he went.

And yeah, they look for the big part of revival

on Friday because most people get paid on Friday. After

all he has done for us, we still have not

taken hold of what he really means to us.

He is life to us. He is joy. He is love.

He is peace. He's self-control and faith. He's hope. But

most of all, he is our way back to the Father.

So I guess, no, I know.

I would cry too if I've done everything and he

did everything.

When he died on the cross, that was everything. Y'all

heard what he said on the cross, don't you?

He said it's finished.

So he done done everything. He done done it all.

He said it's finished.

He done everything that he knew to do to give

us life. And we still want to die. I don't

know about nobody, but I know I will live and

not die. So I'm going to say this today. Accept

Jesus Christ into your life. And let your life prove out.

Don't just claim you accept him in your life. If

you claim you accept him in your life, then let

your life prove out. Let the manifestation that you receive

him prove out of your life. Amen?

Without a doubt. Folks see you, there won't be no doubt.

But when they see you, they'll see Jesus. Don't demons

know who Jesus is?

I've had people walk up to me on many occasions

and they say, I don't know what he said.

He said, you're trying.

To let your light shine. In other words, he recognized

the Lord Jesus in my life. I ain't preached to him.

I carried myself. You understand me? If you never preach

a word or minister a word to a person, your

life is going to minister to them.

The way you carry yourself is going to minister to them.

You don't hear what I'm saying.

Your life is going to prove that whether you receive

Jesus Christ your Lord or Savior.

And since you have accepted him and you believe in him.

And I believe that Jesus, if you really accept him

and you really believe in him and you really trust him,

I believe that Jesus, if he shed a tear, I

believe if a tear falls from his eye, it will

be a tear of joy.

Not a tear of sorrow. Amen? Because love is all

that he has to us.

And when we have the same love, the same love

that he exemplifies and he shows to us, Each and

every one of us.

And also the world. And first us. Then his tears

will stop flowing for the wrong thing.

And tears of joy will flow from his eyes. Can

we do that for him? Can we do it for him?

Let's not say it like people say. Can we do

that for him? Peter said, Lord, I never need you.

Got your back.

Staying tall with you. Maybe I'll die for you. And

then they came and got Jesus and tapped him and

took him. Peter said, I don't know that man.

Got his back.

What back?

I don't know the back.

Peter had to make it quite clear to the folks

that he didn't know him, so he started swimming.

Now you look like one of them. Your speech betrays you, God.

You can't fake it and make it if you say,

fake the fact, no, you've been filled with the Holy Ghost.

You trying to act like the world, they'll tell you

to be, nah, this ain't for you, doc. Nah, this

ain't for you. You go on home now. Let us

do what we do. This ain't for you.

They looked at Peter and said, nah, nah, man, your

faith betrays you, doc. You know Jesus. We know you

know him. You walk like him. Come on now. I

promise you I so and so and so and so

don't know. You smell like him.

You know righteousness has a smell because sin has a stench.

Oh yeah.

Righteousness has a spiritual smell to it. Just like sin.

God says sin has a stench to it.

No. It has a spiritual smell to it. Amen. And

sometimes you can physically smell it. And I promise you

it stinks.

But when you believe in him and believe that Jesus

Christ is who he said he is.

And he lived for him, I believe those tears will

be tears of joy.

Because see, all Jesus asked us to do, if we

love him, we don't have no problem loving others. See,

Jesus even calls you He calls you a liar if

you say you love him and hate your brother. Because

that's conditional love. That's not agape. Agape love don't love

him and your brother.

How can you say you love me but hate your brother?

He said you're a liar. He said you're a liar.

And then he said, and the truth is not in you.

So now he's relating you to your father, the devil.

Love is all he asks of us.

And when we have the same love that he's impressed

to us and show it to each other and the world,

but us first, then his tears will stop flowing for

the wrong thing.

And tears of joy will flow from his eyes. Can

we do that for him? I mean, since he's done

so much for us, can we just do that for him?

Like dying so we can live.

Amen.

Because all he really asks of us is to love him.

And that means we must trust him. And have faith

in him. No matter what life deals to us. No

matter what life deals out to us, we must hold

on to the belief and the hope in Jesus Christ,

our Lord and Savior. You know, this message, listening to

it in my own spirit, and getting deep into it,

it saddened me when I was reading about it. It

was much more to read, but we only have so

much time. But this message made me feel a little

sad because I began to think about so many who

call themselves leaders of ministry under the name of Jesus Christ.

Claiming to be doing ministry in his name.

They claim it. They're doing it in the name of Jesus.

That's what they said in Matthew. Did we cast out

demons in your name? In your name? In your name?

Did we heal in your name? In your name? Did

we do wonders? Marvelous, wonderful works in your name? And

Jesus said, I don't know you. I ain't never known you.

I don't know what you're talking about. Who are you anyway?

He said, depart from me, you workers of iniquity. You

workers of wrongdoing. These people is sad It should be

said to you. Wouldn't it be sad to you if

somebody was using somebody you love? And you know they

just use them. Using them up like toilet paper. Don't

care nothing about it. Just using them to get whatever

they can get.

And they're just using him for money and for power

and for fame. That's all these preachers are doing.

Bunch of them using him for money, for power and fame.

That's it.

They don't care nothing about Jesus. His name is making

a million. His name put him in mansions. His name

put him in Rolls Royces and Maybachs and Mercedes Benz

and Jaguars and Saracens.

His name.

Using his name for money and power and fame. And

don't love him. They don't love him. You don't use

somebody you love. They don't love him. They don't love

him at all. Just want what his name can do

for them. And the real sad part about it is

that they are all going to go to hell if

they don't turn from their wicked ways. If they don't

change their love for him, they're going to go to hell.

And a lot of them are already having the base mind.

So when they wind up in hell, they're going to

be like, what am I doing down here? See, you

must understand that scripture is so powerful. Didn't I prophesy

it in your name? Didn't I cast out demons in

your name? They believed what they were doing was in

the name of Jesus.

They probably were good folks, but they were bamboozled and

looked rich.

And a whole lot of folks are going to line

up in hell like a rich man, thinking you're doing

the right thing.

And most people got money, believe they don't need Jesus,

no way.

Because most poor people and people without, they come to

church like Jesus is a genie.

Rub him and get your three wishes. Don't work like that.

Jesus is not a genie.

And when you treat him like a genie, you don't

love him. You have to meet in the Lord. It's

sad to me that the church won't wake.

Up And they won't.

Not now, some not ever. Because they're trusted in a man.

And they're going to die trusted in a man. The

bishop that I was under in the other ministry, when

he died, I asked one of the teachers this.

I watched it for a long time. I said, brother,

let me ask you a question. What would you come

to church for? Would you come to church for Jesus

I wish you'd come to church for a man. That

boy was honest.

He said, I was coming for a man. He ain't

coming for a man now, but he was coming for

a man. But thank God he didn't get a debate mind.

He woke up before he died, but he told the truth.

You got to ask yourself, church, why you didn't come

to church? What are you coming to the house of

God for? I know why you should be coming. So

it really is a rhetorical question. What are you coming for?

That's for you to answer between you and God. That's

not even an answer that I'm deserving of. It's only

an answer deserving to God why you come up in

his house.

That's for the saints all over the world.

For all those that are listening over the airwaves.

Because we record every Sunday.

And I know everybody in Australia and our land and

everywhere they're here, so we see it. What are you

coming for? If you ain't coming for but for one reason,

you coming for the wrong reason. Whole lot of folk

coming for they wanna see what Betty look like this Sunday.

They wanna see what Susan May look like. I want

another chance at tension. I didn't get to really talk

to her last Sunday. I didn't really get to put

my game down right. I'm coming for Bob.

Bob, show them what y'all saying. Ooh, Bob look good.

You hear me?

You hear me? You hear me? Where's Jesus and all that?

Where's Jesus and all that? Ooh, I can't wait to

get to church so I can sing my song. So

I can get my applause. Hmm? Where's Jesus?

And all of that. And you wonder why he will.

If people don't change their love for him, they're going

to wind up in the devil's.

Hell. In the devil's hell, amen.

And so are the people who are not loving him

for himself, but for what a man says about him.

You got to love him for yourself. Don't tell me

you love me because a people love me. Love me

for yourself. There are people that say, if she love him,

I love him. People say, you know Jimmy, girl? Yeah,

I know Jimmy. Girl, I love Jimmy.

Girl, if you love Jimmy, I love Jimmy.

You don't even know Jimmy. You got to love Jimmy

for yourself. And the only way to love Jimmy for yourself,

you got to know Jimmy. The only way you can

love Jesus for yourself, you got to know Jesus. And

the only way you're going to get to know him

is you got to get in his Word. Most folks

don't even, most folks go to church 72 times a

year but never keep the Bible up at home.

But say they love Jesus. How you love somebody you

never spend time with?

Huh?

How you going to love somebody You never spend time.

A wife and a husband, if they never spend time

with each other, you better believe one thing for sure.

One of them gonna, one of them gonna understand, he always,

long time spent, he never spend time, you got the

one that even love me. You got the one that

she even love me. What you marry me for? You

don't never spend no time with me. Ain't no way

you love me. Love is an action word. It don't

sit on the shelf.

It moves.

It moves quickly. Because he cares, he loves us. And

because he cares, we should care. He loved us before

we loved him. He went to the cross when we

hated him. He went to the cross when we mocked him.

He went to the cross when we didn't believe him.

He went to the cross when we spilled him.

We slapped him in the face. But he still went

to the cross. You know why? Because his love didn't

change because we spit on him. His love didn't.

Change because we slapped him. His love didn't change because

we talked about him. His love didn't change because we

didn't believe in him. His love didn't change because the

church crucified him. The church crucified him, not the Romans.

But he still loved him in spite of it.

What's our problem? He gave us everything we need because

he said it's finished. It's done. All that we need

is in him. All that we need is in Jesus.

And believe you me, even the Lord Jesus Christ himself

said it gives him great pleasure.

To see his people prosper. Then we talk about prospering.

First thing that comes to people's mind is money. It

does his heart good to see you prosper in your peace,

in your love, in your joy, in your self-control. That

does his heart good to see you prosper in your forgiveness.

It does his heart good. That's prosperity to God.

The wealth ain't even our problem. And you're not focused.

Not even on God. And I say this and I'm done.

He said in his word that he shall supply.

All of our needs according.

To his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4, 19.

He said that so that we can focus on him.

Not on how to get a car and a house

and a wife and a husband and money and clothes

and jewelry.

Focus on him. He shall supply.

All of that because he said he'll give us the.

Desires of our heart. He said it.

We just ain't understood it yet. We still trying to

hustle and bustle.

Take it easy. Folks out here working three and four jobs.

If you trust in him. I had two jobs one.

Time, a long time ago. Going to the house of

the Lord, worshiping the Lord. God said, let me show

you something. You don't get your food sick.

I got you. Come home from my second job, ran

off the road. Not completely. When that happened, I said, okay. Uh-uh.

I'm done with this. So I work one job. And

then I say, Lord, I don't want to work this job.

I don't want to work for these folks. I want

to work for me. Work for you.

So now I work for him. And in working for him,

he allows me to work for me. That's how I

talk to God. I said, they approached me. Folks from

Apple Computers. Said, I don't want you to work for

us now. We don't want you to work for Apple

now no more. I said, okay, I'm going to listen

to everything you say. We're going to get a meeting

with the president, the vice president, and we're going to

talk to the owner of the company because we want

you to work for us now. Because I work for

a computer company, but Apple Computers is one of the

computers in the company.

And when he got through talking, I stopped walking. We

were walking through the warehouse when he stopped walking. I

stopped walking. He stopped walking. I wanted him to pay

attention to what I had to say.

I heard what he said. I said, well, I sure

appreciate that, but I don't want to work for y'all.

And I'm not going to work for them as long.

I said, I'm going to work for me. I'm going

to work for y'all, and I'm going to work for them.

There's going to come a time when I'm going to

work for me. He said, well, are you sure about that?

I said, I'm sure about that.

Have a nice day. I worked for you. You know

why I worked for me? Because I trust God. I

believe God.

There have been times where I didn't even have jobs

for weeks. But I said, well, let me go do that.

I would cut the grass at the church, cut the

grass at the pastor's house, and the pastor chasing me

down the day going to the driveway trying to pay me.

And I'm telling him, I don't need your money because

God going to bless me for blessing you. And five, four,

five jobs come out and I cut that grass. Four

or five jobs coming. I stay obedient to him. I

don't got to go to the left. I tell God

what he already knows. Now, I got this bill coming up.

I don't need the money. And I get a phone call.

It ain't enough money to pay a bill, but I

get a phone call. And it starts to trickle from

that phone call. I get that job. I get another job.

I get another job. I get another job. I stopped

working for folks back in 19, no, 2000. It's been

almost 30 years. I quit working for folks.

I've been doing what I'm doing for almost 30 years.

Folks say, ooh, what's your sign? Jesus. That's my sign.

They want to know that I got a sign on

my truck. They ain't got no sign on my truck.

Can I get a car? I ain't got no car.

I had some cards. I said, I said, my word

comes from the Lord. People call me talking about Peggy

Martha told me, gave me your number and said that

you know how to do it. In my mind, I'm going,

who is Peggy Martha? I don't know no Peggy Martha.

You got to trust in him. You got to have

your hope in him and believe in him. He said

he shall supply all of my needs.

I've had people tell me they didn't want to follow

me because of the color of my skin. I said,

that's okay. Did they change their mind? I said, still okay.

I still don't want to follow you. I said, one

thing you don't understand about me, I got a promise.

I got a promise. Dude, I got a promise. I

got a promise. You hear, brother? I got a promise.

Guess who it came from? A one that's not a

man that he should lie, or a son of man

that he should repent.

He's not a man that he should lie.

I got a promise.

And then he already told me that all of my

promises are yes.

Did you hear me? Yes. They already answered yes.

And amen.

Which means yeah. I agree. I agree.

Amen.

I agree that they're yes and amen.

I agree.

Amen. I receive them. And I have to listen. Because

the enemy will try to get your job. I don't know.

I've turned down jobs. I had a job recently.

I think he was the brother right there who works

for me.

He was in the car. There's a job. You remember

the job with the tree fell on the house? They

gave the lady $ 400, 000 to do the job.

She didn't even mind it yet, but she said she

wanted me to do it.

I don't want to do it. I want it. I

want it now. And I know why I don't. That's

all that matters to me.

Now, if she's trying to make a mind of whether

or not she's going to rebuild the house, or she's

going to just sell the house as is and buy

another house, wisdom to me was just go and buy

another house, 200-something, save 200-something, sell that house and make

some more money.

I don't need you paying me to take that house up.

Take the better out of it.

Amen.

You know why?

Because I got a promise. I got a promise. He

promised to take care of me.

He promised. And I believe him.

Now you can say he promised to take care of you,

but you don't believe it. It just might not happen

the way he wanted to. I believe him. He's never

failed me. He never will. See, some folks say he's

never failed me yet. I ain't no yet in it.

There's no yet. He never fails. There ain't no yet.

He can't fail. That's why there's no yet. Amen?

Amen.

So I would encourage you, church, To get before him.

To get to know him more. So that your trust

and your hope will be built up in him.

Amen.

The more you get into him, the more he gets

into you. The more you get into him, the more

he gets into you.

You see, the more the people practice devilment, the more

devilment gets into you.

And you've got to know the truth of the word.

Like I told you, I was watching that podcast yesterday,

last night, and he said Halloween. He don't have no

problem with saints celebrating Halloween.

He clearly said that. He had no problem with saints

celebrating Halloween.

Halloween is the only so-called man-made holiday to tell you

it's wicked.

And you ain't got a problem.

With the saints of God celebrating it? Well, if you

don't feel condemned, you should. What do you think the

base mind does? Keep you from feeling condemned. What do

you think a lie that's practiced does? Keeps you from

feeling condemned. You can lie to yourself. So much so

that you believe a lie.

That's why so many women out there are being abused,

talking about, if he don't slap me, that don't mean

he love me. No, he slap you because he hate.

You, girl. You ain't got every last word on you.

You ain't no punching bag. You want to hit something,

get him a body bag. And you ain't the body. Man,

twist it.

Twist it. A preacher telling the saints of God, it's

okay to celebrate Halloween. It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay if you commit suicide, you won't go to hell.

That's what he told us. He said suicide won't send

you to hell. That's what he said. Suicide won't send

you to.

Hell.

Hell. Suicide will send you.

Straight to hell because there's no repentance from the sin

you just committed. So you got to trust in him

and the way you trust in him is through his

word and through his word with a personal relationship. Not

by way of a preacher behind a pulpit tell you,

but a personal relationship.

Then let these titles go to the head. He's a bishop.

So he's a bishop. They esteem him higher than a pastor.

He's an apostle.

He's a human being who's a wretch undone and a

filthy rag if he don't have Jesus. You can have

the title of a bishop.

And still be a filthy rag.

Your trust, your hope has to be in Jesus Christ.

Jesus and nothing else. This is why we have this

word to help us to focus. You ain't supposed to

be focusing on all this stuff.

Going on in the world. The world is moving.

Around so fast And you don't have time to focus

on this devastation because this one just happened.

This one just happened.

Back in the days, this one would happen and you

can focus a little.

Bit, but not now. This will happen. This will happen.

This will happen.

You can't focus on none of that. So focus on Jesus.

So many folks focus on what Trump going to do next.

I don't care what he does next. Whatever he does.

Next, my Lord is saying you allowed him to do it.

He ain't in control. He thinks he's in control, but

he ain't. God's using him just like he uses the devil.

You didn't know God used the devil? Yes, he used

the devil. Didn't he use him on Job? Yes, he did.

God uses the devil.

He's using Trump to do his bidding according to the

prophecy that must come into fruition.

Wars and rumors of war. Saving in the land. Lack.

Price is going up without being able to afford. It's

coming down the mark of the beast. You got to

take it to be able to afford anything. Some say

it's already happening.

I would believe it.

They're killing Christians for not denouncing Jesus Christ. And this

ain't just happening in foreign countries.

This is happening in America.

This is happening in America, killing Christians because they refused

to deny Jesus Christ.

As their Lord and Savior.

The world is going into the full mode of the

hatred of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Good for us and good for them. Because see, we

got a problem. I got to keep telling you, we

got a problem. We got a problem.

And those liars getting up there telling you that everything

ain't going to be all right. We ain't going to

fix nothing. The Bible said we ain't going to wax

worse than the worst.

Where's the bad?

Amen.

God has spoken. And when God speaks, nothing changes. It

goes right in that direction.

Why?

He said, I'll watch over my word. He said, I

send my word out there and I'll watch it. Nothing

will go that way.

There you go.

Go that way.

It ain't going to go the other way.

It's going to go the way God tells it to go.

Amen from that. So put your trust.

I will beseech you, therefore, brother and sister, that you

put your trust in your love only in our Lord

and Savior, that your focus will be sure of what

voice you're hearing, what character you're carrying. Because the enemy

will have you to believe sometimes that you're walking on

fire when you're not. Stay focused on the Lord and

the Holy Ghost will always.

Guide you in the right way. Amen?

Stay focused on him and only him. See, God just

don't put us out there. He equips us. That's what

Jesus did. Before he ever sent them out in two

to preach and prophesy and heal, he equipped them first.

He endowed them with the power of God before he

sent them out.

They all came back to.

Jesus with all their joyful stories and testimonies because he

equipped them before he put them out.

So get equipped by the Lord before you go out.

Because the world is waiting to try you, to knock

you off your focus, to shake you, to break you.

But if you would just stay focused on you, just

stay focused. They're waiting to break you. You remember you

used to drink? Don't that D & J look good

to you? Man, you walked past that cigarette, it smelled good. Mm-hmm.

That guy drove by. You smelled that weed he was smoking.

Can't you go? Get your wine. Get your wine. Get

your wine. He know where you used to be. But

he don't really know where you're going.

Hmm?

He know where you're used to be, but he don't

know where you're going.

Player.

Come on, player. You used to have four or five

of them back in the day. I don't need none

of them. All I need is you. And if I

need anything, I need a wife. I don't need a girlfriend.

I need a wife. I need a fiance.

I used to be bored over this thing, but I

didn't get to be. I need a fiance that's going

to be a wife. Not somebody to play with. And

I need a fiance that I ain't touch until she

is the wife. It won't never touch me until she.

Is the wife. And if she can't wait, I need

to give you another. See, I need to do better

than have to be. I ain't going to take it.

I need to do better than Adam.

I ain't going to take it. You hear me, Sister Porter?

Don't try to hand it to me. I ain't going

to take it. You can try to back it up,

but I ain't going to take it. You hear my

wife here. Don't be trying to back it up. I

ain't going to take it. The Bible says she turned

and gained to Adam, and he took it.

New battle. No, I ain't going to take it. Now,

until you say I do, then I'll get it. I

won't have to take it.

Amen?

Amen. Let's give God a hand clap of praise.
