Hello, everyone, This is Michelle Jackson, lead Pastor Pope Christian Church,
and today on the Whole Connection, we begin with a
new message from Bishop Harry Jackson.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Anybody other than me, feel like the Lord is.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Trying to transform your whole inner life.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Praise God.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
It's possible for you to be going through transition or
even a deep emotional pain and still have the peace
of God and the love of God stuarting and watching
over your heart. We're going to go back in to
(00:47):
look me on. This should be approximately part seven. We're
talking about faith. After the beginning of the next month,
We're going to look at what it means to love
our city where right now we need faith. So I
want to give you scripture and a little testimony.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
In a moment, we begin today's message from Bishop Parry Jackson,
Hope's Blueprint. Find out how you receive a greater understanding
of what faith really means. Stay with us for more,
but before we get started.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Following the passing of my mother and father in twenty
eighteen and twenty twenty, the Hope Connection will continue the
ministry that God gave my parents. Bishop Hary R. Jackson
and doctor Vivian M. Jackson over forty years ago. Our
daily mission remains the same. Our anointing and conviction continue

(01:45):
you grow in Christ.

(02:33):
Bishop Perry with his moving message Hope's Blueprint.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Turn with me.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
If you don't mind to the Book of Isaiah. I
want you to see Isaiah chapter number seven. We're going
to read down through verse number nine Isaiah sixty six,
verse number seven, rather through nine. As you're turning there,
(03:02):
I want you to remember that this past weekend was
a hallmark week. You need to pray for me. This
week I felt like I needed two jets, amen, not
just one plane. Praise the Lord. Don't worry not taking
up an offering for such a thing right now. It
(03:25):
was amazing. Tuesday, I preached in Saint Louis to a
bunch of the leaders. Is a great thing to talk
to leaders. I feel like I'm called to do that. Wednesday,
we're in Orlando with another group of leaders all day.
That was great to pray for leaders, to preach and
prophesy Minister. We were back here. We had our wonderful
(03:49):
prayer meeting. But Saturday, it was absolutely amazing that we
went up with a group of people called One Race
the Event, and we were in Stone Mountain, Georgia, the
place where the KKK burned their first cross. And in
(04:12):
that situation, it was interesting. Folk had gathered out of
every kindred, every tongue, every tribe, out of the greater
Atlanta area, in the many places of the nation, and
we came to basically cry out to God that what
had been begone and released in the spirit in that
(04:37):
particular region was going to be reversed. That God was
going to move in a mighty way. How many remember
that when King came to DC and he had that march,
that he said, let freedom ring, And as he talked
about where freedom would ring from, he said, let it
ring from Stone Mountain in Georgia. And the historic significant
(05:03):
of that was great. But over fifteen thousand folks were there,
Travis Green was there, Tasha Cobbs, all these singers. At
a certain time, I had opportunity to pray and won't
go into all of this, but God is trying to
do something in our land. And for a few minutes,
(05:24):
we're gonna think about talk about what faith looks like
for you and me to team up with God to
pursue the call He's had on your life in my life.
Are you there? Isaiah sixty six, verse seven. Before she prevailed,
(05:44):
she brought forth, before her pain came, she gave birth
to a boy who has heard of such a thing,
who has seen such things? Can of land or can
a land be born in one day? Can a nation
(06:07):
be brought forth all at once? As soon as ion prevailed.
She also brought forth her sons. Shall I bring to
the point of birth and not give delivery, says the Lord?
Or shall I who gives delivery shut the womb, says
your God. And the answer to all these questions is
(06:30):
that a nation can be born in a day.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
That what looks like it's impossible.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
In your life right now, God can change and transform
right now. In other words, you can be in the
middle of your own personal winter. You can feel like
you're so depressed that nothing's going to happen. You can
have a terminal declaration over your physical life, and God
(06:58):
can say, not so you will live and not die,
but declare the wonderful works of the Lord. Go ahead,
give the Lord a clap offering of praise. Today, I
want to tell you by way of testimony, you've heard
it so many times that they made declarations over me physically,
(07:21):
that God said, no, We're turning it around today. As
I am before you. We have a pastor Duran cloud
is somewhere in the room. Where are you, pastor Praise
the Lord. He's right here, and we thank God for
the Man of God. We got some people here who
(07:43):
are also in various situations. Some of you are in
places where your check book is trying to mock you.
Anybody understand what I'm saying. To say that you feel
like you have insufficient funds would be understating your situation.
(08:03):
Because says I can bg something new, I can bring
into a new season. I can cause your winter to
turn into springtime with just one thought. All I've got
to do is just whisper a syllable. And if I
say it's coming down the tower, the wall, the agenda
(08:23):
of darkness against your finance. If I say something's gonna
change in your world, it changes you, know, not how
somebody needs to give the Lord a clap offering of praise.
Somebody here feels like you're gonna never be promoted, that
you're never gonna move to the next level. But God says,
(08:46):
just watched me as I turn your winter into spray. Today,
We're gonna go after the seed of hopelessness, the spirit
of being overwhelmed, the spirit of distraction and depression that
is actually a spirit of death that is trying to
(09:06):
come after you. The devil can't kill you physically until
he's first killed you spiritually or emotionally. Some of us
are on the verge of giving up, and God says,
not time to give up.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's time to hold on.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
It's not time to let the fear of what could
happen so overwhelm you that you feel like you need
to give up.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
It's time for you to remember that God is with you.
First Corinthians, chapter eleven.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
The Bible declares that at the table of the Lord
people that come there to have communion, that many of
the folks in Paul's day were sick and they slept.
That was euphemistic for they were sick and they died.
Paul said they died because they did not desern.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
The body of the Lord.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
And when they were gathered together and they were doing
something in the remembering of the Lord, they did not
see Jesus. The opposite of how can I say it?
I said this way, When we think about remembering, we
(10:31):
think of our memory going to a place and we
see a thing together. But could it be that when
we are getting together around the Lord's table, that we're
in a sense emotionally and spiritually calling back to our
minds who Jesus is. We're calling back to our minds
(10:55):
what he's about.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
And there's a reconnect with the power.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
The person and the presence of Jesus, and that's why
that thing called communion is so powerful. We're at a
unique place where the Body of Christ is God to
learn how to operate in faith, and one of the
platforms for faith we've been talking about repeatedly, subliminally, we've
(11:23):
been slipping it in in almost every message. We've been
talking about the need to watch what your expectations are
to guard the gates to your heart and your soul,
to your imagination. That fear to us is like a cancer,
(11:44):
and Jesus is trying to say, don't let fear get
into your soul and eat up and cause you to
cast away your confidence.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
You're listening to the Hope Connection. Bishop Jackson's message is
coming right back, but before he does, there is a
resource you'll want to get your hands on. When life
gets difficult. People often tell you to quote have faith,
but what does that really mean. The Hope Connection's latest
offer for you is a five part sermon series called
Look Beyond by Bishop Parry Jackson. In this series, you'll
(12:22):
discover how to move beyond positive thoughts into possessing a
living faith. Call one eight eight eight seven, seven, eight seven,
one four six with your gift of any amount to
help us deliver encouragement and strength to those that need
to be a part of God's family. And when you
give to the Hope Connection, Bishopary's five part series Look Beyond,
is our gift to you to thank you for your
(12:44):
support of this ministry. Call one eight eight eight seven
seven eight seven one four six one eight eight eight
seven seven eight seven one four six or visit the
Hope Connection dot org to get your copy of Look
Beyond on CD or MP three THUMBD today. Now, let's
get back to today's message, my manifestation.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
If you give up, Jesus won't show up.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
If you hesitate and you can't in a sense remember
what he is about, remember how he can manifest his
glory if you don't reconnect. Some of us are trying
to have faith in a desperation, but faith and fear
(13:32):
they really don't run on the similar tracks. The energy
of fear, the energy of terror, tries to destroy and
it causes your inner life not to be a container
in which God can pour out that faith that you
need to move And there's got to be this positive energy,
(13:56):
this expectation for God to move. Can a nation be
born in a day? Can God suddenly do the impossible?
Can God turn your winter season into a springtime? Can
God take the declaration of death that may be over
(14:19):
some of us, death financially, death physically for me is
the death sentence of esaphageal cancer. Can God take that
and turn it around and make something that looks like
it's impossible possible? He can do it. Go ahead, give
(14:41):
him praise. I don't want to go on a rabbit trail.
I want to deal with this again. Some of the
scriptures we've already looked at, but in time's past. But
we're going to pray again at the end of this
message today, and I want you to begin to join
with me to believe something.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
That is crazy to believe.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
What's that Believe that from this group of people, from us,
you and I who sit here together, knowing who you are,
where do you come from, your background, your upbringing, your training.
I want you to dare to believe that we have
been sent on an assignment to be a voice that
(15:26):
changes the course of history and destiny of this entire
nation called the United States.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
That you and I are game changers.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
We're not game watchers, that we're people of destiny who
have been called with an anointing that if we'll stand
our ground, God will change and turn our season. And
what you live for and what you're about is going
to echo down through the corridors of time. There are
(15:57):
going to be spiritual repercussions that demons and darkness and
the damnable things of hell shall not overwhelm or overcome
the purpose of God. Hey, turn to somebody and say,
I'm a champion. Come on, you say it, Oh, come on.
I believe that God is saying that out of this
(16:20):
company of people, somebody's going to rise up and be
an instrument of the true and Living God. Hey, somebody
is going to believe that they are more than conquerors
through Christ. That the anointing of God lifts heavy burdens,
(16:41):
breaks yokes, and overthrows everything the devil's trying to do.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Somebody give him praise. Come on, giving praise in his hell.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Woo. God can make stone mountain in Georgia. His amounts
in the worship. He did that yesterday, place known for
hate tridden racism, he get made a place of worship
(17:16):
where songs of Zion are sung.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
And people enter into.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Love not hate one Corinthia thirteen and thirteen and now
by the faith, hope, charity, these three, but the greatest
of these is charity. We said, if charity is the greatest,
(17:44):
faith is the lowest, hope, then is a powerful force.
We've got to touch hope a couple of times, that
positive expectation of good.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
We've got to keep hope alive.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
That from the Civil rights movement.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
What does that mean for them?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
It meant despite the fact folks are still lynching y'all,
despite the fact dogs are being released on y'all, despite
the fact that water hoses are being torned.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
On you full force.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Keep hope alive, despite the fact that it looks like
folks are standing at the gateway of the entry point
to your dreams and like bull Connor, they're saying, you
ain't coming in here.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Keep hope alive.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Despite the circumstances that would say that you don't matter,
You're never going to be anything. I need you to say,
Keep hope alive. See, some of y'all were raised in
Southeast d c. Or, in my case the equivalent, some
of us are raised in Avondale. We're raised in places
(18:58):
where blood stain in the streets on Saturday night, and
folks had to walk past all kinds of drug issues
and all kind of emotional issues. We lived in places
where emotionally people didn't survive. We lived in places where
they're all kinds of victims. Families were victimized, people were
(19:21):
taking advantage of. But God looked down on some of
us and declare that boy Jackson, that woman Vivian. They're
going to make it. They're going to move in a
new dimension. Let me say it one more time. Keep
hope alive. The hope that needs to be kept alive
(19:44):
is the expectation, in some way, some time in God's economy,
He's going to turn this thing somehow, despite what it
looks like now, this situation I'm dealing with is not permanent. Somehow,
some way, the next generation your descendants are going to
have a better life, in a better way than you have.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Somehow.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
As we keep hope alive, we will be change agents.
And what we have believed God for is going to
come to pass. Said another way from Scripture, it does
not yet appear what we shall be, but when he appears,
we shall be like him. Jesus is coming He's manifesting
(20:35):
more of his glory in.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Us and through us.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I think it's important that we have this expectation, this hope.
We've preached five different messages under hope, expectation, which has
to do under faith. Expectation has to do with hope confession.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
We've believed that so.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Often we try to speak a thing before we have
formulated the action steps to make these things happen.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
A final thought to wrap up today's message when we
come back, but first, the Hope connection is about turning
hearts to God with the hope of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. And this month we have a gift for

Bishop Perry Jackson series titled Look Beyond. Call today one

(21:57):
one eight eight eight seven seven eight having one four six,
or visit the Hope connection dot org. Now here's one
final thought for you today.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
So I want you to think about if you have
had a horrible diagnosis, if they've given up on you,
then in your state, your situation, how do you bring
God into your circumstance. I want to talk to you
about changing things that seem like they're as impossible as
(22:36):
we ask the question can a nation be born in
a day? Look at Isaiah twenty six to three. First
thing I need for you to do is that we're
going to look at this verse, but you want to
write down on whatever you're writing notes on. Is that
you and I need to meditate on the word of
(22:57):
God and met on the promise of God before you pray,
Before you start trying to say I know what God's doing.
I have faith that He's going to raise me up
and heal me. I submit to you that the battle
for your soul is, and the battle for your emotions,
(23:20):
and the battle for your imagination. The battle in that
realm is the most important battle. That's where the devil
often defeats us. Isaiah said this now will keep him
in perfect peace. Whose mind is stayed on THEE because
(23:44):
he trusteth in THEE.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
The word that's important.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
His mind is stayed on THEE is a word yet, sir,
and it's translated as imagination five times, frame once time.
Mind wants thing framed once and work once. The point
is that God will respond to something you do. If
(24:13):
you keep your mind, keep your focus on Him, on
his purposes, on what He's trying to do in your life,
then he'll keep you.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Before you go. If this message spoke to your heart today,
we'd love to hear from you and offer prayer. Also,
