Episode Transcript

(00:10):
Well, God, bless you.I'm sorry acting like I don't know what
I'm here for. That's part ofwhat I want to deal with today,
mindsets and opinions, especially of andI'm pointing to me too, leadership,
that you show up for what you'reto show up for, and then you

(00:31):
act like you don't know what you'rethere for. God bless you, And
I do mean that not as anexpression. I mean God, the creator
of the universe, the creator ofall that is. Not only he bless
you now. Bless is to bemade happy in all different realms and ways

(00:53):
and dimensions. And bless I'm almostsorry to tell you bless also means to
be able to come through with victory. However, did you hear what I
just said, come through? Youknow, like yay though I walk through

(01:14):
the valley of the shadow of death. Yeah, you want to be so
that you fear no evil? Ohdid you hear that evil? Most of
us want no evil around. Wehad the mindset that if there's some evil
around, it's a curse. Guesswhat, People of excellence, we are

(01:36):
anointed upon and equipped and ordained toput down the evil, to annihilate the
curse, to put down anything that. Remember, the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal but mighty through God, to put down anything that exalts itself
against the knowledge of God. Sothat curse tries to show up. Oh,

(02:02):
it is subject to Jesus Christ,who made an open triumph over the
enemy. That's not just the victorythat he gave and that he made open
triumph. Now, I want tosay this about mindsets, and I'm talking

(02:28):
about I might say about mindsets duringthe world and in society. However,
the mindset of leaders, mindset ofthose of us who know Christ. And
if you don't know him, thenI mean, if you're a seasoned leader
and don't know him. I'm notjust talking to babes, because even if

(02:53):
you're a babe and I'm talking toyou, you are a person of excellence,
anointed, appointed, equipped and ordainedto walk out miracles, to walk
in the glory of God, tobe walking word, and a demonstration of
the God who created all things,who so loved the world that he gave

(03:15):
his only begotten son, the Sonwho died born flesh, Yeah, lived
fully, human, fully God onthe earth, died on the cross with

(03:38):
full shame exposed like a criminal,treated worse than an outcast and downcast,
worse than the worst criminals. Hedid that for us and died. Oh

(03:59):
yes, he died what today wewould call graveyard dead. This was toomb
dead. He was buried, yes, and then he rose from the dead.
The Holy Spirit. When we talkabout the spirit of God, this

(04:24):
and the spirit of God that,the spirit that raised Jesus from the dead
with complete victory, open triumph,and the keys of death, hell and
the grave. Now I said alot, but the scripture says all that

(04:48):
and more. And if that's justbeing saved, that's just giving your life
to Jesus Christ. And if youare also anointed, appointed and ordained as
a person of that excellence, youmove in all of that, and you
move in it easy as breathing.Breathing is a complicated issue. If you're

(05:10):
a biologist. Breathing is like it'sgot so many aspects to it, and
when you know it, you knowit's complicated. However, most of us
we just breathe. Whether we knowall the intricacies of breathing, we breathe.

(05:33):
And the time that we know thatbreathing is something special is when we're
not breathing. Correctly. I'm sayingthis to let us know that we have
mindsets about things and opinions about thingsthat may or may not be formed by

(05:58):
the word of God. And thenif formed by the word of God,
I want to remind you that hewho has an ear the way to overcome.
Oh it's not just I used toI used to do ice skating,

(06:20):
skating when I was a teenager.Oh it's not just skating through the overcomer.
Huh. Our example, Jesus Christovercome death, hell and the grave.
Yeah, overcomer doesn't just mean thatyou say a thing and blink and

(06:41):
there it's gone. And I'm aperson who has I've I've experienced such.
I pray for something and and it'salmost as if I blinked and it happens
for the person. I've never likedto share that. When I'm moving in
that and when it looks like thatto everybody else, and I mean to

(07:05):
big crowds, I'm going through thingsthat make no sense. I'm going through
things to even try to explain doesn'tsound like any kind of sense, And
through things that everybody's got an opinionand a mindset, and it may have

(07:30):
nothing to do with what God said. One example I'll give you is let
the women keep silent in the churches, and I can turn to it and
we make it. That's the scripture, that's Paul. That's Paul. As
if that was Paul's mindset. Becausewhen you read all of the Pauline scriptures,

(07:56):
and he did give most of theNew Testament that isn't the gospels,
you'll see that there was one brother. He was at his house, the
church at his house, and hehad daughters that prophesied, and not daughters

(08:16):
are females. Hello, daughters arefemales. They prophesied, they spoke in
the church. And when you lookat the silence, let the prophets speak,
you know, First Corinthians or isit Second Corinthians fourteen. I think

(08:37):
it's First Corinthians fourteen. But letthe prophets speak everyone, and if something's
revealed to one, let the firstholdest peace. We've made manners in the
world, in the world, andthe church follows it. Manners is that
you let a person finish, andthen if you have something to just say,

(08:58):
you speak up. Well. Prophetmanners In First Corinthians fourteen, the
prophet is supposed to speak and thenif something is revealed to the other one
sitting by that the first the onewho's speaking, holds peace, and the

(09:18):
prophets speak, and reminding you theprophets are male and female. And by
the way, First Corinthians. Andif I'm mistaken that it's Second Corinthians,
that's Pauline scripture. But if wehave the opinion that Paula is against women

(09:41):
preaching and Paula's against women teaching,we'll make that mistake. Not realizing that
some of the churches paul addressed thewomen were head of the house. That
could be because their husband died orwhatever could be because of the timing of

(10:05):
when the husband's away and a womannot to teach a man. Aquila and
Priscilla, husband and wife team,come on. They pulled Apollos aside,
who the scripture testifies was eloquent.Eloquent, but there was a little something

(10:35):
that he got wrong. They didn'tput him down, stopping from preaching,
and giv him a course to take. Well, they might have says,
they pulled him aside and opened theWord of God to him more perfectly,
kind of like what Jesus did afterthe Resurrection meeting. The disciples on the

(10:56):
road, opening the Word of Godto them because there was so much tradition
for so many years and in somany i'll call it sex or denominations that
believe this and believe that. Whenthey asked, are you king, they're

(11:22):
thinking set it up now, they'relooking for an insurrection ordered by God.
Jesus expounded the word of God tothem more perfectly so that they could understand

(11:43):
not only the time that we're in, not only what they just went through
and witnessed. And either one isenough to just take up your whole mind,
but you witnessed and what you wentthrough. We're living in a day

(12:05):
and time where people are going throughlike never before. Different Now every generation
goes through different than the previous generation. However, it is extreme now,
weather patterns are extreme. Do weknow the word of God about it?

(12:30):
Or do we have the mindset ofclimate change? Do we have the mindset
of the last days? Do wehave the mindset of I hope you get
what I'm sharing. Some of thosemindsets are correct and some are incorrect,

(12:54):
But not one of them is thewhole picture. Not one of them is
the eternal purpose. The whole eternalpurpose of God. He knows that he
has ordained, that he has setthat and where he set you or me

(13:24):
in. That is what we needto step up to, not just have
a mindset about but know the wordof God and people of excellence. One
of the things I'll let you knowis most of the time you don't know

(13:46):
until it is time, and thenyou automatically move and you see it looking
back, kind of like what Godtold Moses. Moses wanted to know,
how do you know? How doI know? If you're talking to me?
How do I know? How doI know? And I'm skipping along
here, I'm skipping over some stuff. But one of the things God told
him, oh you'll know when you'rewhen you're back on this mountain, you

(14:11):
know you've done it all, broughtthe people out, and you're back worshiping
on this mountain. That's not themindset we have. We want it ahead
of time. We want to knowahead of time. We want to know
before time that I got it right, I did it right. And even
then we don't know because it takesbelieving God, it takes following God.

(14:33):
Even when God says understand him,no one understand him. And Jeremiah look
it up, and I might lookit up now. But even when God
says it, the thing that hesays, understand and know me that I
am the Lord, that's yeahweh Godof Covenant, and that he I'm actually

(14:54):
I think I'm going to turn toit, look it up if I if
I take too long to turn toit, I won't want to take that
time on the broadcast. But hesays that I'm about mercy, I'm about
loving kindness. Yes, judgment isin there. However mercy proceeds judgment.

(15:15):
Vanassa never would have been redeemed.You know, Manassa that the word of
God says was the worst, thatthere wasn't anybody as bad as him.
And yet when he repented, itwas just like what repentance is that he
was forgiven his unrighteousness past present.Ah, know the word of God.

(15:45):
God's not just whispering at us whenhe says, rightly, divide the word
of truth, not your neighbor's word, not the psychologist's word, not the
historians word. In our generation rightnow, we have history. Some of

(16:12):
the tombs that we know that thepharaohs recorded history, some of the fronts.
The stone is I'll call it deteriorating, which we thought because it's been
there so many thousands of years.If that doesn't happen and in this generation

(16:32):
and I don't mean early in thisgeneration, I mean in recent years,
some of this has been deteriorating toshow that there was another pharaoh face under
there. This isn't the Pharaoh thatwe thought, This isn't the Pharaoh week
because history being recorded in stone issupposed to testify. That's God's word about

(17:00):
that. And for me, I'mnot talking about revelation of God. But
for me, the way I think, I think that the Egyptians must have
known that from God. And Idon't mean serving him, I mean knowing
God's principles, so that if youdo this, then this is what's going

(17:21):
to be known in the earth.Because God is the one that said that
the rocks record, that's his word. He's the one who said that.
He's the one who ordained that.Look up, a I'm gonna say it

(17:41):
wrong, which John, first,second, or third John? But there
are three that bear witness in heaven. There are three that bear witness in
the earth. God's word says.So if a people know that stones record,
that's where I get my opinion.Remember mindsets and opinions. Oh,

(18:08):
I have good reason for my opinion. Doesn't make it the word of God
just because I can show you howthat opinion probably adds up. That they
knew these principles of the Word ofGod, and so they use stone to

(18:30):
record history that they wanted record ita certain way. And now here we
are thousands, thousands of years later, and God is the one who let
us know. The rocks record theygive the true witness, and these rocks

(18:55):
that were set up to be afalse witness are crumb crumbling. What I
was taught in school though about thePharaohs, And here, as an older
woman, we're finding out. Ohbut I was taught in school about that,

(19:22):
isn't so hmm. Mindsets and opinionssome of the examples that I was
giving before the broadcast about mindsets andopinions and how they form and where we

(19:44):
get them from. And I wasgiving these to show why we want to
be in the Word of God andabout the Word of God. And even
being in the Word of God andabout the Word of God, we can
be in error, gross error.We can be do the right thing and

(20:07):
be grossly wrong. One of ourin Christianity and in Hebrewism. One of
our favorite prophets is Elijah, powerful, powerful prophet. And we know the
Mount Carmel thing going on most ofus. And I'm talking to you who

(20:34):
are going through, and you're goingthrough stuff that doesn't make any sense,
and you're going through because you believeGod and you have faith and you trust
God, and you're still going through. But you'll stand as a witness.
When we read the story of Elijahon Mount Carmel, we tend not to

(21:03):
recognize what it took to live throughthat. How you walk along the way
and you've got prophets that are prophesyand only their prophe lion, and you've
got prophets that are prophesying, andthey're moving in truth, all of it
going on at the same time.This is one of the reasons why the
way why I like to recommend readinga chapter from the Book of Proverbs every

(21:30):
day, every day, And eventhough the Roman calendar is error. Before
God, I say, take thedate of the month and read that chapter.
Like, if it's the first,read the chapter one. If it's

(21:51):
the twenty fifth, read chapter twentyfive. If it's the eighteenth, read
chapter eighteen. One of the reasonsthat I recommend that, well, one
is because God gave me that backin nineteen sixty eight. However, one
of the reasons I recommend it isbecause living life is in there, and

(22:14):
living life at all the stages ofall the things that go on, all
at the same time, and allthe people that show up, all at
the same time. Because it's neverjust all the righteous when you're living life.
It's never just all the wicked whenyou're living life. And definitely there's
times when there is more wickedness goingon than righteousness. And the fool,

(22:36):
oh the fools mentioned. Proverbs letsus know how to handle things and how
to handle people. And I'll generallyalways remind you that Proverbs is to the
son, the Prince, the king. The thing of it is, the
first part of Proverbs is to thesun, so that the Sun knows what

(23:00):
the rules are and how things go. That you are related. You're in
relationship now the Prince. Most ofus, and I'm going to say,
in Churchianity, we take it thatthe prince has to do with the authority,

(23:22):
and yes it does. However,when you learn about that from the
Word of God, you learn thatthe prince. And here again, this
is why I like us to reada chapter of Proverbs every day, because
the prince is learning how to rule, so that when he's king, he
can just rule and not be inerror, and know what to do when

(23:48):
error happens. But so the princehe learns relationships. He learns how to
deal with his friends, and helearns how to deal with fools. He
learns how to deal with the wicked, who aren't trying to be wicked,
but they're wicked. And he learnshow to deal with the righteous, who

(24:11):
aren't trying to be righteous, butthey're righteous. Oh, you don't know,
you don't know. Esther's an exampleof that. She lived a wonderful
example, but she didn't have theautomatic know how her uncle helped her with
that. The prince learns how todeal with and he learns how to deal

(24:34):
with people who know who they areand they generally know what to do.
The prince learns how to deal withbrother, the brother who is a wonderful
brother. Trying to think of theproverb for that, and then the brother
who will turn on you, Andthen most of us when we hear that,

(24:59):
we think of Joseph and his brothers. And here we have the mindset
I'm gonna bring job in here.We have the mindset that when you do
righteousness, everything's gonna go well,everything's gonna go good. It's gonna go
in your favor because you have favorwith God. Well, yes you do,

(25:21):
Yes, you do. People ofexcellence, you have favor with God.
However, just because you have favorwith God doesn't mean that you won't
be like Joseph, accused for somethinghe did not do. And right now
today in Churchyanity, we're gonna praya prayer that this thing be made right

(25:45):
and he not go to jail,and we'll forget that is it Proverbs twenty
one. The king's heart is inthe hand of the Lord, and as
the rivers of water, he turnethit withthersoever he will. God can set
the heart of the king. I'mtalking about the authority, the person in

(26:08):
charge. However, his heart isin the hand of the Lord. Most
kings think that whether they're no Godor don't know God. Most people of
that high authority, they just knowthat they're that authority. Most the Word

(26:32):
of God tells us that the king'sheart is in the hand of the Lord.
And then the example God gives us, like the rivers of water,
It'll go with us whoever we will. And some of us we have the
mindset that we're thinking, oh,it'll flow this way, and it'll flow
that way, and it'll flow.And then others of us have the mindset
that it'll flood a place and killeverything there, destroy every crop, or

(27:04):
it'll go down right here in thestudio. Oh no, no, where
I go on Thursday for a pastor'sprayer. Just before you turn to go
into the street that that church ison. If you look at the the
water flow below the street, itlooks one way, and yet over by

(27:33):
the church, just a couple blocksaway, there's a whole different water flowing
system. And I remember back innineteen not nineteen seventy in particular, but
in the seventies, God showed methat that property looks there's so much moss

(27:55):
and whatnot there that the kind ofthings that I knew grow a swamp.
Except for that it didn't look likea swamp. It looked like a dry
spot. And God had revealed tome that his judgment on the city,

(28:17):
the municipality, the area way beforethat church that's there now and has been
there many years, was ever there, the city would move in unrighteousness towards
the Hebrews. The municipality. Nowthey thought they were right, they thought

(28:37):
they were right, they thought theyattested to and so we don't want these
Hebrews around. And there was alot of this was long before I ever
came here, so that there waswhat we call bad blood, bad communication,
and here again not knowing the peoplebeing so having the opinion that they

(29:06):
were right about what it was thatthey didn't like the Hebrews, and the
Hebrews coming back with as much opinionbecause these gentiles don't know a thing,
don't know what they think they know, and not realizing by the way,
the proverb says, these six thingsdoes the Lord hate? I'm talking about

(29:32):
God's people on one side, God'speople on the other side, not babes,
not people who don't know God.These six things does the Lord hate.
None of us are trying to dowhat the Lord hates. None of
us are doing that on purpose.God's word records it in Proverbs, these
six things doth the Lord hate?Yay or yeah? And the seventh is

(30:00):
an abomination to him? I don'tknow anybody, and I mean no,
rather know in history or no personally, or no any kind of way.
No anybody that's trying to be anabomination to God. Even people who serve

(30:30):
false gods aren't trying to be anabomination to the false God they falsely serve.
And yet when God tells us whatthat seventh thing is, he that
sows discord among the brethren. I'mso busy knowing I'm right. I'm right

(31:00):
that that woman shouldn't be preaching.That woman shouldn't be speaking, She shouldn't
be telling a man anything. Andrighteousness will show you that. Huldah.
The prophetes Jeremiah was a recognized prophetat the time when the people found the

(31:22):
books, and when they opened themand read them and found that they had
messed up so bad and they didn'tknow what to do. Jeremiah was a
recognized prophet. He was around.But they went to the woman holda the
prophet, to know what to do, and God gave it to her.
By the way, Oh, butyou want to say that's all Testament,

(31:45):
But I gave you the New Testamentof the Daughters. I want to look
it up, but you look itup and read the scripture, and you
know of Deborah. I have afriend who likes to call her Deborah.

(32:12):
Yeah, we have mindsets and opinions, and some of us have them from
the word. I'm ashamed to admitthat when I first started in ministry,
I'm not talking about when I firstgot saved. When I first started in
ministry, licensed and ordained by DeliveranceEvangelistic Church, Philadelphia, I had the

(32:50):
belief totally sold out on only savedpeople should be married. And my logic
was because only save people know howto love, how to walk in the
love of God, because only savepeople know how to keep commitment and keep
much contract. Now, if youlooked at certain things of how I was

(33:19):
brought up, you might be ableto think why I thought that, But
hey, I got saved. Itranslated the penitude for a year to two
a year and a half to twoyears before I got saved, learn some
things, learn God things. ButI still had this attitude and opinion that

(33:40):
I thought was God that you neededto be saved in order to be married.
Now I still believe that. Ijust believe it differently than I did
before, because before I thought youhave no disiness getting married. Now I
understand you want to enter into coantrelationship and you need to be in covenant

(34:04):
relationship with God to understand what thatmeans. And now having been married,
oh my, I thought I knewthis before I got married, But after
I got married and I married aprince of a man, I learned that
you need to be in covenant relationshipwith God in order to walk out the

(34:25):
covenant with the one that God gaveyou to be in covenant with for marriage.
Marriage has these different aspects that ohyes, love has everything to do
with it, and covenant overrides opinions, Covenant overrides mindsets. I've told it

(34:54):
before, and I embarrassed myself totell it now. However, my husband
he worked two and three jobs beforeschool started and then worked a job after
school. And I was in lovewith him from a ridiculous young age,

(35:21):
and then I loved him from adistance and then didn't get to meet him.
One day I came home and wehad one of those houses where you
come in the vestibule, but there'sthe living room, and then there's a
dining room, and then all theway back there's a kitchen and the kitchen
had a swing door we used to, you know, and the door was

(35:43):
open, and my brother was home, my big brother, and sitting at
the edge of the table that Icould see because you couldn't see the whole
kitchen table. It was that AndI called him a man. I barely
a teenager I was. He wasa teen my older brother's three years older

(36:07):
than me. There he was sittingthere, the same one that I had
seen two weeks earlier and loved witheverything in me and said so, said
so. He was sitting at theedge of the kitchen table that I could
see him from the doorway. Iforgot why I went there, the experience

(36:37):
of love. Now I met him, knew he was a principal man,
and because of that, I usedto try to make sure I was passing
him by. That's why I wentthere. I would try to make sure
I was passing by the classroom ashe was coming in and out, because
I didn't want to be Back then, they called a forward girl. But

(37:00):
I wanted him to see me.And he wore dark glasses back then that
was allowed only because he had whatwe called bottle bottom lenses and people made
fun of that. So he hadpermission to wear dark. He had dark
lenses, and I would see himand I would look in the classroom.

(37:28):
I'd stand there hoping he'd look upand see me, but I would see
him not know that he was asleepin class. Now I saw this so
much that I thought he's not smart. That wasn't smart of me. But
that's what I thought. So yearswent by, and when we're married,
both of us saved license and ordainedin marriage. I still had this opinion

(38:00):
of my prince of a man husband. I knew he was a prince of
a man. I knew he wasjust the most honorable and loving man.
And not just love me. Ohmy, how he loved. I always
say he loved me to life.He did. He was loving with people.
His love caused people to change.His love caused people to make different
decisions. His love caused people todo differently. His brotherly love. That's

(38:22):
what brotherly love does, by theway it protects and all that kind of
thing, But it makes a changein the other person. Anyway. I
learned all that watching him. However, I was of the opinion from the
days of seeing him not off ofsleeping's class, that he wasn't as smart

(38:45):
as I was, and of courseI wasn't as smart as I thought I
was, even though oh, Ihad tested out to be pretty smart.
And I didn't think I was sosmart because my older brother tested out gay
and every time they tested me becausethey thought genius runs in the family and
my mother was a genius. Wheneverthey would test me, I was always

(39:08):
borderline, never could measure up,and I didn't recognize a serpent being more
subtle that I've shared with you alot what that's about. I didn't recognize
that that was a mindset that theenemy still tries to use to keep me

(39:29):
under with that, I just don'tmeasure up no matter what I do,
and don't measure up no matter howhard I try. Don't measure up.
And from young childhood to even today, I deal with that. It's not
God's mindset, and it's not themindset that he would have me to have.

(39:53):
It's what the serpent, more subtlethan any beast of the field.
That's what he does. He comesinto interrupt relationship. Anyway, I'm reading
a word, and the Word ofGod says to for wives to honor their
husbands, and I remember I tendto talk out loud to the word,

(40:20):
and I said, when he doessomething worth honoring or something like that.
God immediately spoke up to spoke tome, I mean, spoke out loud
to me and said, it's acommand, not a request. I repented
right away, because I always wantto do what God says I want to
I want to be what God wantsme to be, not what I think.

(40:42):
And I repented, and I felthe changed, you know, he
because he says when you repent,he'll forgive you of all unrighteousness, and
that's the unrighteousness. It was,that is, and that can be.
And I began to see him differentlyhere. I thought he changed. As

(41:05):
time went on. I thought hechanged, and he may have. However,
I began to see the wisdom andhis decisions and the wisdom the way
he added things up. He hadthings up quite differently than me. He's
passed away now. But we didn'tthink alike. I thought we didn't think
alike because he came from the wrongside of the fence. I was taught

(41:30):
that by my family, and Ididn't realize that you're not to think that
way. Even though I had translatedthe petitive by the time he led me
to the Lord. I didn't catchthe mindset that I adopted because everyone I

(41:51):
knew and respected had that mindset.I didn't understand. It wasn't godly,
wasn't God, wasn't godly, Itwasn't God's word, even though I'd read
a lot of God's words. Letnot the rich man glory in his riches,
Let not the strong man glory inhis strength, but let he that
glory glory in is. That's aJeremiah scripture. I'm letting you know again

(42:13):
to look it up because God invitesus to know him and to understand him,
and then he tells us what areashe's talking about, because if you
don't read those areas, you'll havea mindset. I know God, and
maybe you do. Pharaoh said thatby the way and the King's heart,

(42:38):
that like the rivers of water,he'll turn it with us soever he will.
God is the one that let usknow that he turned Pharaoh's heart so
that Moses had problems with him.It's not that Moses wasn't called to do
what he was called to do.It's not that God didn't ordain for him.

(43:01):
I took almost the whole hour Iwanted to get to the scripture.
I wanted to show us that wehave mindsets about things in scripture. And
I want to make sure that weunderstand that we want to know the scripture
and not just a scripture. Wewant to know God's mind about a thing.

(43:23):
I'm going to go to revelation.I've used this as an example before,
and if it takes me too longto read it all that the hour
will be over that Jesus in howhis glory, power majesty. This notation

(43:47):
says I am Alpha and omega,the beginning and the ending. Most of
us when we called it, weincluded say the beginning and the end.
The word of God says I amAlpha and Omega, the beginning and the
ending. Say it the Lord.Remember when God first revealed the name or

(44:07):
title Lord. Anyway, if youdon't remember, look which is which was,
which is to come the Almighty.Now those are different aspects, and
you might know so much about himbeing almighty that when you hear me talk

(44:30):
about him being alpha and omega.And one of the things that I like
about that is something that I learnedin the Hebrew alphabet that the game had
to chase the talat because the talentis the poor person and the gimel is
the rich person. And the wayGod wants us, You know how Jesus
said, the poor you'll always havewith you. We're not to make the

(44:51):
poor feel like they're poor. We'renot to make them have to go to
the food bank and stand in lineforever and ever. We're supposed to treat
them well well. The rich issupposed to chase down the talent, not
make them have to come begging toyou anyway. So if you do it
that way, or if you havethe revelation of God that he's the beginning,

(45:15):
then you don't like it. Theperson who has the revelation of God
that he's the ending. And forthe person who takes it end and not
ending, you don't like it thatit's not over. When I say it's
over, I want it to beover. I don't want to have to
go through. And you don't likeit when the word of God says it

(45:37):
came to pass, because we readit came to pass. We read it
as all one thing, like itdidn't have some time involved in some tribulation,
involved in some situations and relationships involved. And the thing I said about
Elijah. Come on, he's ourfavorite. He's our favorite prophet. Yes

(45:59):
he is. However, even Elijah, and I ask God because I recognize
that. God taught me that whenyou see it, you're looking at yourself
at some state or way or stage, and that I see this about Elijah,
and I don't like it at all. I'm like, God, help
me, help me, help meElijah. Remember, he said, nobody's

(46:22):
serving you but me. He saidthat more than one time, and more
than situation, one situation, livingit out because of what it takes to
live it out. When you walkthrough the day, and like I said,
you're passing here and you see peopleprophesying only their prophelyon. And then
you walk a little further and yousee their prophecying, and they're prophecying well.
And then you walk over there andthey're prophecying and they're in a trance,

(46:43):
and nobody's covering them. See,he ran the school of prophets so
that the prophets knew how to covera prophet. And by the way,
in the New Testament, for thegift of prophecy, exhortation and comfort edification,
exhortation and comfort. Look at aprophet. They rebuke, they exhort,
they don't just give. The prophecyand the office of the prophet are

(47:07):
not the same thing anyway, Elijahone of the most astounding prophets, I
think the most. But anyway,and yet nobody's serving you but me.
Nobody's serving you but me. Andyet ob Daiah, who worked for the
king, mortgaged his home put hisfamily in jeopardy. It's one thing for

(47:32):
a man to mortgage his home andit doesn't hurt his family, his wife
and his children. But he knewJezebel would kill him without thinking about it.
Had she known he was hiding oneprophet much less fifty and another fifty
And yet Jerah, pardon me,Elijah didn't remember Oh Badiah's sacrifice. That's

(48:00):
more than a sacrifice and a heartbeat. Jezebel would have taken everything he had,
killed him and his children and hiswife. Obadiah believed God enough and
was serving God enough that he putall of that in jeopardy. He believed

(48:22):
God, and yet the head prophethe told me, he told me,
and the head of prophet forgot allabout it. But he didn't forget all
about it. The way I justnow said it. He forgot it for
the going through, for the goingthrough, for the going through. Don't
have the mindset that it's going togo my way because it's what I want,

(48:49):
or because it's what I believe,because I believe God about this,
He who has an ear, hearwhat the Spirit says to the church as
not just to you, and reverewhat he says to others, because it's
he who said it. And alsonotice that in the first chapter of the
Book of Revelation, it's the revelationof God that He gave to to his

(49:14):
son to share. And yet inthe churches he says, hear what the
Spirit. Don't have time now,but I'd like to take you to Romans
eight, where you have the spiritof God, the spirit of Jesus and
the spirit of the Lord, andyou can map out the differences and the
different ways of operating. It's importantto know the Word of God and walk

(49:42):
it and let it form your mindset, transform our opinions, and then give
us we'll have a mindset that he'llmove into another mindset because in the first
chapter, the whole revel the wholepicture of Jesus, Jesus every single church

(50:08):
had one of those as an example. Oh no, not every single church.
Of the seven churches named, twoof the churches had an example that
wasn't even one of those named inthe first chapter. And guess what those
named in the first chapter. Thoseexamples of Jesus. There are examples of
Jesus, and there's other examples ofhim in the word. In the word.

(50:32):
Have a mindset from the word,but don't put the roof on the
ceiling. God is the one buildingthe house. Let him move you from
glory to glory. Amen, He'sthe amens. Ass
