Speaker 2 (00:12):
I bless you.
Okay, man.
Hey guys.
Good to be here, man.
You filled that section up.
Where'd you have those peoplehiding at, out there doing a
background check on'em or what,where were you all in
another room?
Huh?
I'm glad you joined us.
It looks better this way.
Hey man.

(00:32):
Y'all good.
Well, I'm, I'm just excited.
Uh, those invites, I don't turnthose down by the way.
I just don't have enough time togo to all of'em.
I wish I could.
Uh, but it's true.
It's a dilemma.
It's it's a lot of hunger andthat's exciting.
Isn't it?
There's like, I'm just onefellow.
And, and I get a lot of invitesyear after year, and that
excites me in one hand thatthere's a lot of hunger.

(00:54):
People are wanting to hearwhat's being said and growing in
a truth and going after God.
And that's very exciting.
The downside is you can't goeverywhere.
And uh, I do, I do about 45weekends a year.
So, uh, this is one of'em and uh, I told Robert, I come back
here just cuz I love him.
And uh, he's a pretty specialguy, so, and he may be a big

(01:16):
steak one time.
So I thought if I come back, hemight make me another one
it was really good.
Oh man, it was good.
It was a special grill, youknow?
And I was like, so I said, ohLord, I gotta go there.
just having fun with you.
but it is true.

(01:37):
So, uh, man, the gospel, what doyou say?
I know, I know pastor Robertalready prayed.
I don't normally feel this wayin the beginning.
I'm just ready to roll, but canwe just pray something one more
time?
Can we just do something likesome of you guys who traveled in
to be here who came fromwherever, like out and about and
came here?
Like wasn't just local.
Yeah.
Bunch of folks.
So, uh, man, you're here.

(01:57):
You're all here.
You're here.
So, uh, man, that's open ourheart and that's, that's asked
the Lord to really teach ustonight and really hear what the
spirit of the Lord is saying.
And if you would pray for methat it would just be crystal
clear and that it would be whathe would say.
If pastor Robert would've handedthe Lord of Mike tonight, that
that's what you get.
Can we believe that father, wejust thank you tonight.

(02:21):
And we just shield ourself toyou and we ask you a holy spirit
to come in a very special andreal way.
We open as a group.
Yes.
Our heart to you.
We ask you to teach us throughyour word.
We just yield ourself to you.
We ask you to make it so clearthat every heart would, would
see and no in every eye wouldsee and understand that Lord

(02:44):
God, we would absolutely besewed into seated into and
transformed by our time in youhave your way do what you want
to do.
We yield to you in Jesus name.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
So I'm just gonna pour out myheart.

(03:04):
Uh, I'm not even sure.
I open my Bible by faith.
I, I, I have, I have a lot in myheart.
So you know, I don't have asermon.
Those of you that know me.
I don't like have a sermon setfor tonight that I'm gonna
preach.
So if that's a little differentfor some of you and your
background, just pay attention.
Don't write me off too quick.
Okay.
if, if you listen, Ishare a lot of the word.
Last time I was here, I actuallyquoted the verses the address

(03:26):
where and where I don't alwaysdo that.
I think I did that for somefolks here.
Jesus loves people.
So, uh, I know some of youaren't here.
You're, you're just here.
You're hungry.
Some of you watch YouTube.
Some of you might be here tocheck me out, just pay
attention.
And I think we'll pass the testtonight.
just, it's just fun,man.
I get checked out a lot and uh,I mean, people live that way.

(03:48):
They live checking people out.
You know, you sit on anairplane, people are checking
you out.
They, they ask, oh, well what doyou, oh, and they got beliefs
and they're, they're weighingyour answers.
But when you live him, not justpreach him when you live him,
your answers are easy.
Like if you're living out, ifyou're just, if, if, if you're
just trying to, if your theologyis your relationship, this

(04:11):
probably dry and probably won'tpass the test, you'll probably
get nervous and stumble overyour words.
But if your relationship flushesout your theology, it's
different.
You can talk about who he is andwhere you've been and knowing
him and yeah, and it's just realgood.
Like if you're free, if you'rereally free, like, you know, if
you're free, come on, you know,if you're free, you know, if

(04:34):
you're free or if you're caughtup on the inside with a bunch of
whatevers and oh, and firstimpressions and judgment and
critical stuff and little downmoments and or if you're just
free, you know, if you're free,like I'm not gonna try to figure
that out.
I'm just gonna enjoy being free.
live my life in Jesusand talk about it.

(04:54):
And they give me a mic.
So I have to talk about it.
But, uh, that is the truth.
You know, if you're free and ifyou're not free, don't be quick
to be critical in your life, inany area.
Talk to God and be open to learnand understand because if you
hold onto the same old thingsand you're not free, why are you
expecting change?

(05:14):
Listen, you could have beentaught something since you were
a little child in, in, in Sundayschool and taught at your whole
life.
But if it didn't bring freedomto your life and it didn't take
you face to face with him and itdidn't liberate your heart to
receive his love and to live inthe spirit, then why would you
make it that important?
Because you were taught it yourwhole life.

(05:35):
It happened in Jesus's day.
This is a little freaky to me.
This is a little like freaky.
That truth itself could stand infront of people for several
years.
Like the person truth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is sobering.
Doesn't make me cry.
The person truth, his name'sJesus truth stood in front of

(06:00):
people for years and spokedirectly to them.
And they couldn't hear what hewas saying.
And ultimately crucified him,calling him a heretic or a liar.
And he is the truth.
He's not a truth.
He's the truth.
They didn't just disagree withhim.
He was so wrong in their eyes.
He was worthy of death.

(06:20):
That's how far from truth manhas been removed that when truth
spoke, they couldn't hear, theycouldn't recognize what causes
that when the only reason theylisten is for what they don't
agree with instead of what he'ssaying.
And then it defines how youhear.
And Jesus said, be careful howyou hear.
And Jesus cried out withpassion.

(06:40):
He, that has ears to hear, lethim hear.
And that's why Jesus was sayingthese phrases because here he is
, truth himself.
And the first thing he did whenhe came to the people was weep
with compassion.
He didn't weep with disgust.
He weeped with compassionbecause they were people.
They were sheep without ashepherd.
And he came to shepherd.
He's a John 10 good shepherd,right?

(07:01):
He came to shepherd.
He was the, he was there toshepherd and he saw they were
sheep without a shepherd.
And he wept with compassion cuzthey had no one to lead guide,
10 direct protect and feed thesheep.
Right.
That's amazing.
I mean, camping on this for a, awhile and thinking about this,
you think 25 years saved andpreaching all around.

(07:23):
Like I get to do.
And I've had a lot of fun in my25 years.
More than I could describe it.
It make me cry.
But this one thought's beenhanging me up for a while and
I've been taking my time thereand I talk about it.
And some people look funny cuzthey're thinking, well, you
should have saw that a long timeago, but it's, it's not
something I move on from.
None of the gospel is him lovingme is fresh every day, Jesus

(07:46):
dying on the cross for theremission of my sin and me being
clean in his sight is a bigdeal.
Every day.
It's not old hat.
It's not old theology.
It's not Hey about preachingsomething new.
It's always new.
Jesus loving me is a big deal.
yeah, but this is whatI've been thinking about.
I've been thinking about Jesusactually coming and what it took
like, like if he'd had justshowed up in the wilderness,

(08:09):
Robert, if he'd had just showedup out there in the wilderness
at age 30, ready to roll thatwould've been one thing we could
figure that out.
God just beamed him down as a 30year old man in a body and he's
anointed and empowered.
And he has the plans of thefather and holy spirits with him
and he just gets it on and doeswhat he has to do.

(08:29):
But that's not what he had todo.
He had to come as a man, he hadto fulfill what man failed.
He had to fulfill the law.
He had to do it under allrighteousness so that when he
was crucified, his innocentblood would have the power to,
to, to cleanse the guilty blood,to wash people clean, to forgive

(08:49):
people, to make people saved.
Right?
So Jesus was, was, was on the,the earth as a man, but he
couldn't take a shortcut.
And this is what impresses mecuz all of us, we don't even
remember gestation.
We don't remember sitting in ourmama's womb.
We don't remember feet being feda bottle or nursing or having
our little DS changed all thetime.

(09:10):
We don't remember crying everyother couple hours when we were
born and being totally dependent.
We don't even remember thatseason.
And some of us can only rememberback to certain ages and dates.
My memory doesn't seem to goback real far.
Some people remember like fourand I don't know.
I'm kind of even blurry at aboutage six I am.
I don't know why.
I probably wasn't a lot good toremember there.

(09:31):
it's probably a gift.
What I'm getting at.
He couldn't take a shortcut andthis just impresses me cuz I
think about this.
Cause he's God he's he's God, hewas, he is.
And he is to come like there'sno timeframe on God.
You can't go back.
And like people say, wellwhere'd God come from.
I don't know he's from thebeginning.

(09:52):
And, and when you look the wordup, it means a time that goes
back and back and back tillthere is no beginning.
So the inte can't embrace thatcuz there's no real answer what
you mean.
You just always was well how'dhe get so much power and where'd
he come from?
I don't know.
I'm a preacher.

(10:12):
I'm telling you.
I don't know.
He just always was.
And he's amazing.
And he is, and he always willbe, but that God that's all
powerful and almighty andamazing that tracked me down and
saved my life and, and loved mewhen I was totally UN lovely.
Anybody have a story like thatwhen my attitudes were so gross

(10:33):
when my selfishness was so at apeak, when everybody, I said I
loved I was using and abusingfor my own sake.
When I didn't even like myselfand needed you to like me to
believe I was even likable.
Anybody relate to anything likethat?
In that moment he came, I didn'tinvite him.
I didn't ask him.
I had him seated into me allalong the way, but he just shows

(10:56):
up at work and saves my soul andI leave work changed.
You say calm down.
No you're wrong.
no you're way wrong.
It ain't time to calm down.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Come on.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
The God of the universe put himself in the womb
of a young lady called Marythat's a freak out I
don't think we camped there longenough.
I think we're too busy with babyand a manger and Jesus crucified
on a cross and Easter andChristmas and all the stuff we

(11:30):
made.
But chill with me just for aminute tonight and just think
about this.
That the God of the universelaid down.
His glory made himself of noreputation and allowed holy
spirit to plan him in the wombof a woman.
And he hung out there for ninemonths inside a woman.

(11:58):
We got any, we got a 15 year oldhere.
Don't be ashamed.
15 year old.
Stand up, honey.
Now look at her.
Ain't she precious 15 years oldtheologians.
Think Mary was right around thatage, right there.
Wholesome, Sweet as good pie,right?
Just precious.
You can sit down.

(12:19):
I don't wanna make you any red thank you though.
15 Jesus said, okay, I'm gonnahang out in her hand, picked by
God, my father, Mary I'm gonnahang out in her.
I'm gonna be born of her.
He was born of a woman.
He had to come through her bodythrough her birth canal and be
born of a woman and come as aman.

(12:39):
Now see when I was young, nobodytalked like this to me.
They just said, Jesus died onthe cross to forgive me of my
sins, cuz I'm such a sinner,which I was such a sinner.
And it, and you, you do a lot ofthings that are, and you just
get all messed up.
Like I said, a while ago andselfishness who knows we were a
mess, right?
So he dies in the cross.
But here's where we leave thegospel.
He dies in the cross cause we'resinners.

(13:01):
So we have a way to be forgiven.
So someday when the bell rings,we can go to heaven and that's
where we stop.
And that's where we make thegospel.
The gospel that's the gospel isway beyond there.
We're just getting forgiven sowe can go to heaven someday.

(13:23):
There's so many questions behindthat.
There's so much mystery shroudedthere.
You'll never see the love of Godin that.
You'll say, why, why would hesave me?
Why would he care?
Why is he want me in heaven?
Who's ever done that.
Growing up, who did thismessage?
We preach ever leave, wanderingand leave short rather than whoa
.

Speaker 4 (13:43):

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Come on.
How many of us just went tosummer Bible school and just
went, whoa, Jay and surrendered.
There's some along the way thatseemed to see something.
But the way the gospel wastaught to me, nobody taught me
the truth about the gospel.
Nobody made a big deal aboutJesus, actually what he had to
do to qualify me.

(14:04):
He had to fulfill what I failed.
He had to model what God mademan to be.
So he said, follow me cuz thelife he lived is what I was
designed for.
He never said follow me if Icouldn't.
He said, when you see me, yousee the, and yet he said, follow

(14:27):
me.
What are people to see in you?
He told you in first John fiveto walk in the light as he's in
the light, he said in first Johnfour, you have boldness in that
day of judgment because as heis, so are we in the world?
He's talking about love.
He's talking about what Jesuswalked out, come on, Jesus was

(14:49):
hated.
They back bid him.
They teamed up on him.
They schemed against him.
When he healed somebody, theyhad to find something wrong with
it.
They had to say there was aDemonn behind it.
They do that in the churchtoday.
Like big time, like there'sgroups and groups of people
called Christian that, that tryto shout down the move of God
and dissected and find outwhat's wrong with it.

(15:11):
But if you really look, a lot ofpeople that are doing that.
And I would like to challengethe people doing that.
If anybody watches this, whereis your joy?
Where's your fruit.
Where's your peace making?
Because the people that aredoing that, I don't see freedom
in.
Sometimes I see hostility,criticism, judgment, all the

(15:32):
things he's not.
Yeah.
Here's what impresses me.
See?
No, no preacher ever told methis.
I'm gonna make sure that if youcame here and you're gonna sit
under my heart and, and dareopen your heart and dare, listen
and take a little bit of time tohear what I have to say, cuz no

(15:52):
preacher ever told me this in mylife.
I'm not angry about it.
I'm just gonna make sure itdoesn't happen.
If I have a microphone, nobodyever told me that Jesus came to
restore the truth about my life.
They just said he came cuz I wasa sinner and it left me a
hopefully forgiven sinner thatwas still condemned and more

(16:15):
aware of my ability to fail andhad really no ability to do any
different.
Who can relate to that?
No preacher ever told me he diedon the cross to restore my
value.
My purpose, my destiny and mypotential.
They all told me he died in thecross cuz I was a sinner.

(16:35):
Now this isn't a play on words.
Listen carefully.
I've learned since he had to diebecause I was a sinner, but he
didn't die.
Cuz I was a sinner.
He died to forgive me of thesin.
He died cuz I was a lost son andhe wanted to restore the truth
about my life.
Come on, be real with me now.

(16:56):
That's goodness.
That's mind boggling.
That's whoa.
Cause I've done nothing, right?
Yeah.
The only thing I can do isbelieve, believe that this is
true and let this truth begin totransform my want to my desire,
my discipline life.
All of a sudden, I'm not tryingto be a good boy.
I'm his boy.

(17:17):
And I didn't do a thing.
He made me clean.
He said stand before me and beclean.
Jesus said to his own disciples.
You're clean cuz of the wordthat I've spoken, That was
before the cross, his mercy hadhim already here.
He wasn't imputing the world'strespasses to them.
Second Corinthians five.
He wasn't imputing.

(17:38):
God was reconciling the world tohimself, through Jesus, not
imputing their sins.
Why he was looking at what theycreated for.
He was looking at their createdvalue, their purpose and their
potential and love has neverfailed.
He didn't take our sin personal.
He took our purpose personal andJesus said, I'll tell you what

(17:59):
that's worth dying for.
If I can die and raise from thedead and bring to life, their
destiny I'll do it.
He ain't just dying to forgiveus every day we fail guys, he's
dying so he can put his spiritback in us.
We can have new life throughJesus Christ.
We can put off the old and wecan put on the new.

(18:22):
That's why he died.
It's all through the Bible.
You die in the likeness of hisdeath.
You live under God, you died asin once.
And for all you live under God,you raise in the newness of
life.
You raise in the resurrectionpower of God.
Why cuz you already died in thelikeness of his death.

(18:44):
And if you died, surely you'llraise.
It's not just about dying.
It's about living in him, butthis is my point.
And I'm still trying to make it that if the God of the
universe would humble himself toput himself in a 15 year old or
whatever, 14, 16, 18, don't getcritical about that stuff.
Theologians just seemed to thinkshe was right around her age.

(19:08):
So I had her stand up cuz I'mlike, whoa, Jesus, the God of
the universe.
The one that nothing was madethat wasn't made through him
shows up on the scene throughthe birth of a baby from Mary
and he's the baby.
He that's incredible.

(19:32):
He must think a lot of what he'spaying for.
This is what we think is Blayand heresy.
We think to talk ourselves downis to lift him up and he set us
in heavenly places.
Let's just get over and stopbeing falsely humble.
Let's just put on a garment ofsalvation.

(19:53):
Let's just wear a robe ofrighteousness.
Let's just go ahead and shot ourfeet full of peace.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Stop fighting over old thingsthat Jesus must think a lot of
the potential of mankind.
I bet he was there in thebeginning.

(20:14):
I bet he had a lot to do withwho we are and why we're here.
I bet he's in on the insideinformation.
I bet he knows our purpose andpotential.
I bet he knows what we all willlook like if we would ever just
completely yield to the power ofholy spirit.
I bet he knows what that lookslike.

(20:35):
And I bet he believes it's worthpaying for.
And then all my life I'm taughtthat he just paid to forgive me
and take me to heaven when thebell rings and then people live
with a sense of comfort and lifeinsurance cuz they prayed the
prayer when they were were 12.
But they're caught up in turmoiland mad at their boss and shout
down their spouse.
But at least they're forgiventhis thing.

(20:55):
Ain't about forgiveness.
It's about transformation andyou can't step into
transformation unless you passthrough forgiveness.
And if you understand the powerof forgiveness, it'll inspire
you to transformation.
That's right.
And it ain't you biting your lipto be better.
It's you see indifferentunderstanding what you're
created for and called to you.
Weren't created to beself-centered you were created

(21:15):
to walk in love you.
Weren't created to be needy.
He's your shepherd.
You shall not want you'refulfilled in his love.
Yeah, you weren't made todesperately need love from all
these angles you were made to belove from his angle.
Come on.

(21:36):
I can back that up with tons ofscripture.

Speaker 4 (21:39):

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Didn't God make us in his image in the beginning.
Didn't he say, let us make manin our image.
What do you think he's talkingabout ahead in arms and legs?
No, he's not.
God's God's a spirit.
There's nowhere in the Biblethat says God has an arms and
legs in a head.
He's the spirit.
God, his spirit, Jesus had toput on a body and come as the

(22:05):
likeness of sinful flesh beforeGod made man, there wasn't
nothing like that.
Just God was a spirit.
He didn't have a body.
Jesus had to take on a body torestore man.
Why'd he give us a body to actout what's on the inside.
He that something, let us makeman in our image.

(22:29):
He's talking about who he is,not what he looks like.
He's not talking about hair,color and eyes.
We're all different.
He can't be talking about that.
He can't be talking about humanform.
Kenny.
I was looking for a guy, butshe'll do did you jump

(22:51):
up?
We won't embarrass you differentgender.
So this will really serve thepoint.
Well different, different ethnicbackgrounds.
Would you ever mix us up?

Speaker 4 (23:03):

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Is there anything about us?
That's the same in the natural.
Are we totally different?
Yeah, but watch this.
We can both wake up in themorning and look just like him.
And that's what makes us one.
That's what makes us the body of

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Christ?

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Cuz it's obvious.
She's a girl and I'm a guy it'sobvious.
We come from differentbackgrounds.
There's so much diversity righthere.
And yet we have true unity whenwe live for the same reason.
And that's why we're one.
Thank you.
Makes sense.

(23:46):
I picked her on purpose becauseit's it's a visual.
It hits it home.
Same value, same value, samevalue, same value.
We both cost him the blood.
You go into Walmart.
There's different price tags cuzthere's different values, price

(24:07):
checks, barcodes screener.
You go into the store ofhumanity in the same tags on
every head.
Why everybody's worth the sameas that thing.
His image doesn't matter ifyou're a guy, a girl, it doesn't
matter if you're higher up in abusiness.
Or if you feel like you're ajanitor and you're, there's no

(24:28):
low life on the earth.
John said it well, everymountain, every valley, we're
all in the same place indesperate need of his mercy in
the shedding of his black.
So we can live life by hisspirit.
There's no hotshot.

(24:49):
There's no low life.
There's just people that aresaved and set free.
And we are what we are by thegrace of God, same price tag on
every head.
That means everybody possessesthe same as act value.
Now be honest, not many of us inthis room has ever believed that

(25:10):
Low esteem insecurity, fear aman don't like ourselves.
Don't like others, come on.
I guess this truth has beenlost.
Racism.

(25:30):
Let me make a strong statementin this church.
I don't know why I would say ithere.
If you have racism in your life,even a little bit, you can't
know the Lord.
How's that for strong.
I'm talking even a little bit ofracism.
You can't know him.

(25:51):
You can talk about him.
You can serve things that haveto do with him.
You can attend where he is, butyou can't truly know him.
If racism exists in your life.

(26:12):
It's true.
I'm talking on any level.
I'm not just talking skin color.
I'm talking on any level.
Cause the image of God is whatlove.
Love.
Doesn't seek its own.
So that wipes it out rightthere.
Your own preference, your owndesires.

(26:33):
First impressions.
Jesus never taught us thatstuff.
The world taught us that stuff.
Adam, the fall of man taught usthat stuff.
Nobody taught you to be angry,frustrated, jealous, insecure,
come on.
It just came by.
Instinct through birth into thefall of men.
You didn't have to study to beangry.

(26:53):
You didn't have to stay up lateto conquer jealousy and meaning,
pull it off and be jealous.
You didn't have to study longand hard to be insecure.
It came with the package ofself-centeredness And every
person in this room was borninto Adam and you must be born
again.

(27:13):
Come on, get this with metonight.
Let me get a little intense andaggressive.
Everybody knows what I'm talkingabout.
Self-centeredness the firstthing a little child.
Does this say mine?
Um, no.
As sweet as they are.
I love'em.
I wish I had a milliongrandkids.
You have no idea.
I try to make everybody's kids.
My grandkids I stay at atpeople's homes everywhere I go.

(27:34):
My goal is if they have littlekids that they cry, when I leave
that they get so attached to mecuz I love'em.
I just, I want'em to cry when Ileave.
It's so bad.

Speaker 4 (27:43):

Speaker 2 (27:44):
No.
And they had an amazing time.
I won a little girl over lastweek and her mom said you little
traitor.
I said, she's not a traitor.
Children perceived Jesus.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
She

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Got hurt.
And bypassed mama came to me.
I was in the house about sixminutes.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
Whoa.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
She wasn't really hurt.
She would just crying.
Mama sweet.
Mama's a great mama.
Come here, honey.
I'll hold you.
You're not really hurt.
Come on.
I

Speaker 4 (28:18):
Said, Hey little sweetie.
Hey, you wanna come here?
I'll hold you honey.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
She said you little trade

Speaker 4 (28:29):
Her,

Speaker 2 (28:33):
But who knows that little baby's gonna need born
again sometime who knows?
The first things they learn ismine.
No.
And we just think it's normal.
Cause it was all of us.

Speaker 4 (28:50):

Speaker 2 (28:51):
And it's everybody you've ever seen, but it's not
normal.
Jesus never taught us that.

Speaker 4 (28:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Fall of man taught us that.
Yes.
Jesus never said if anybodycomes after me, make sure you
pray or prayer at the right timein the right moment called the
sinner's prayer.
So you can make sure you go toheaven in case you die on the
way home.
Jesus said, if you come afterme, if you decide you're gonna
follow me and come after me, youhave to deny yourself.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
Yeah, come on.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
You have to pick up your cross

Speaker 4 (29:23):
And follow me.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Not just sing to me.
Not just pray to me when thingsare tight, Deny yourself.
People.
It's simple.
This self thing I talked about.
The racism thing.
Selfishness keeps all thosethings alive.
Self-centeredness keeps firstimpressions, alive, judgments
alive.
Criticism's alive, unforgivenessalive.

(29:45):
If you and I woke up to shine.
If we woke up to manifest hisimage, if we woke up to love
this sister that I had stand upwith me.
If we just woke up every day topursue his image, that makes us
one.
Even if we live a thousand milesapart, that makes us the body of
Christ.
That's an army.
That's powerful.
That's unstoppable.
If we all leave here and startpursuing this truth, think of

(30:07):
the impact we could all have inour lives.
Just think how we'd affect ourspheres of influence.
Then it wouldn't just be onehouse called a church, rocking
it for Jesus.
It would just be his peoplewaking up every day.
Understanding why they're alivewatch and they'd be done
complaining.
They'd be done back biting.
They'd be done feeling sorry forthemselves.
Cuz they'd realize they'reliving this one little gift

(30:29):
called life.
One little window here today.
Go on tomorrow.
One day face says you're gonnastand before the king and answer
for this one little gift calledlife.
Ain't time to dread it.
Ain't time to bail out.
Ain't time to complain.
It's time to grow up into himand all things and shine.
Baby.
It's time to walk in the light.
As he's in the light.
It's not time to have issues.

(30:51):
It's not time to be anunforgiveness.
It never was.
It's time to deny yourself.
Pick up your cross and followJesus.
Are you with me?
Yes.
Come on.
You never saw Jesus bail out.
You never saw him drop the crossand complain.
You never saw him say I hadenough.

(31:13):
This it, this is too crazy.
This is unfair father.
Sorry.
Forgive me.
But I can't take it anymore.
I mean, look what they've doneto me.
Look how bad they've beat me andhit me for doing nothing but
good.
I've been thinking, Lord, thisis crazy that I'm gonna die on
this cross.
And they wanna do this to me.
I heal all they're sick and theywanna do this to me.

(31:34):
They wanna leave.
Barcos killed a man.
I raised the dead.
He causes conspiracy.
I'm trying to make peace andthey wanna kill me.
These people are whacked and Iain't dying for none of them.
now here's the problem.

(31:56):
We stereotype Jesus.
And we think, well, he can'ttalk like that.
Cuz he's the Lord.
He can't talk like that.
Cuz he's love.
And the only reason he's therein a man's body is cuz he's
love.
And the people he's dying fordon't deserve a thing.
They were created for a thing.
It's not that they deserve athing.
They were created for a thingand love won't fail and let go

(32:20):
of what they were created for nomatter what they've been.
Ain't that something.
So he would put himself in thewomb of a woman and he would
raise a think of this.
He didn't even start ministrytill he was 30.
So he had to just live as a man,30 years on the earth by man's
timetable, submit himself tolive in a man's body.

(32:42):
He was the son of God.
He was from the beginning.
He always was with the father.
And now for 30 years, he's justliving as a man waiting for the
day.
You tell me he doesn't think alot of us.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
You

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Try to convince me right now that he doesn't just
love to love me.
See that wigs people out thatare religious.
They don't understand.
They've been around thetradition of church so long that
they miss the heart of God alongthe way.
See what changes my life is thelove of God.
Nobody loves God first.
Let's get this straight.
It's the book of John.
Nobody loves God.

(33:19):
First.
You see his first love.
And if that isn't made clear,you're not seeing it.
Then you feel indebted cuz youbelieve the cross.
You feel indebted and getreduced to serving him.
Instead of invited him to knowhim.
Are you with me?
That's a low level relationshipserving him without knowing him.

(33:42):
The old covenant that was calleda concubine, not a bride.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
and every once in a while, those
concubines brushed against theglory of the king.
So you have a testimony from sixyears ago, from eight months
ago, your hair stood up inworship and God was there and
you want that again?
And you serve him all along theway.
Hoping that happens again.
That's the Conine it's not realintimate.

(34:17):
You wake up every day.
His come on, I'm a guy talkingthis way.
It's not some weird thing.
It's spiritual.
I wake up his, I wake up abride.
I wake up one with him.
One with the father, through theson.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
You

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Get it.
He loves me when I was yet asinner.
He sent his son.
It was his initiative.
He's the one that rolled theball on this thing.
People don't get mad at thepreaching of the gospel in a
self-righteous way.
He's the one that forgave allour sins.
He's the one that paid the priceand sees us.
Holy Colossians, 1 21, holyblameless and above reproach in

(34:55):
his sight.
That's his doing?
Holy blameless and abovereproach.
You try to preach that in a lotof churches.
They think it's heresy.
It's Colossians one.
God's not a heretic.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
Come on.
You with me.
Yes.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
Sorry.
I'm so excited about this.
It just has had my motor runningfor a long time and I do way
better with the zeal.
I, you don't think I'm calmdown.
I'm very calm down.
no, I am.
I'm communicating.
I'm not talking in circles.
You can hear what I'm saying.
Making sense to your heart too.

(35:35):
Yes.
I'm excited.
Am I look too excited to you?
Trust me.
I am way more on the inside.
I'm doing you a favor.

Speaker 4 (35:41):

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Come on.
We were born in down that littlerant I did of Jesus throwing
down the cross and yelling atGod.
It can't happen.
Can it?
You don't have that chapter inyour Bible.
He never did that.
Cuz he's love not cuz he'sJesus.
Cause he's love.
If you say well, that was Jesus.
You're gonna miss the wholepoint.
Then you can't follow anythingcuz he's God.

(36:07):
But if that was Jesus empoweredby the holy spirit, then you can
follow that.
And if Jesus said follow me, hemust want you to see that.
Yes.
If he called himself, the son ofman, he must want you to see
that.
Come on.
We're not doing the deity of Godinjustice.
When we talk about Jesus comingas a man, a lot of people will

(36:28):
say, yeah, but he was a hundredpercent God and we wanna fight
and would nobody say anythingwrong?
Jesus said he was the son ofman.
Paul said, there's one mediatorbetween God and men.
And it's the man.
He didn't say the God.
He said the man, he's stillmaking him a man.
But he's God.

(36:48):
And he's the name above everyname.
And he's the Lord of all.
But he's still a man.
He rose from the dead and said,don't be afraid.
Touch me for spirit.
Doesn't have flesh and blood asme.
What's he trying to say, I'mstill a man.
I still have a body.
I'm gonna go into the holytabernacle with a body.
And I'm gonna sit at the righthand with my blood on the mercy

(37:11):
seat.
And I'm gonna mediate on behalfof, oh man,

Speaker 4 (37:15):
Come on.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
That one truth right there is why the spirit of God
is inside of me.
And I like it.
And he empowers me to see peoplefor who they are to love people
and not to give up on people andnot to judge people and not to
be critical and nitpicky.
Yeah.
Cuz everybody I ever lays eyeson.
Now I understand it's worth theblood.

(37:37):
And they all have destiny.
His image, zero racism in mylife.
Zero prejudice in my life.
Zero.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Yeah.
Yeah.
I bet you Jesus live that way.
He said follow me.
He said the things I do you'lldo.
If you believe my question iswhat do you believe a deeper
question is what do youunderstand?
Or what do you misunderstand?
Because if what you're believingis in produced in life, you
ought to reevaluate and re-lookat things.
If you're just letting peopleeat away at you.

(38:08):
If you just got this theologythat says, well, you gotta
understand.
I got a lot on my plate,brother.
My days are long.
And sometimes, you know, we allhave our moments.
When are you ever gonnachallenge that language?
Wonder if Jesus had his moments,then I guess he wouldn't be
rightly representing the father.
Cause if the father had hismoments, we'd all pushed him to

(38:29):
one

Speaker 4 (38:30):

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Come on,

Speaker 4 (38:35):
Come

Speaker 2 (38:35):
On.
Who's just walked flawlessly inthis room.
Who's ever followed every one oftheir convictions.
Who's had convictions you knewto do right.
And for whatever reason youdidn't do.
Right.
And then the conviction cameback and you still didn't do
right.
Anybody in your life.
Wonder if God was like us andsaid, well, that's it.

(38:57):
Now I know where they stand.

Speaker 4 (38:59):

Speaker 2 (39:00):
No wonder I wrote don't put your trust in flesh.
They're so untrustable they saythey love you.
They just want you to bless'em.
They just want you to make theircar run.
Good.
They just want you to give'em agood job.
Treat me like I'm their genie ina bottle.
They don't love me.
They just want me to do goodthings for them.
I think the devil was right whenhe told me that about Joe man,
I'll tell you what these people

Speaker 4 (39:20):
Come on.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
That would be ludicrous.
It that's not who we know God tobe.
God is love.
Yeah.
So on my darkest day, on mydarkest day, on your darkest
day, he never lost sight of whatyou're created to be.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
Come on

Speaker 2 (39:36):
On your most willful adventure, your most, your most
belligerent hardheaded, willfuladventure.
He said that ain't you.
I know way better of you.
I know your purpose, yourpotential, your destiny.
I know who you are made to be inme.
And he's got blood speaking andcrying out better things.

(39:57):
The whole time you're living inrebellion and where sin is
abounding.
Grace is coming greater torescue you.
Not judge you save you.
Why is that so hard tounderstand?
That's not the only reason.
It's hard to understand.
Cause we've never been affordedthat by people we've been
stereotyped by people.
But God, in a sense hasstereotyped us from the

(40:19):
beginning.
He knows what we're here for.
And he never changed his mindthrough time.
Cuz love has never failed.
Why?
Cuz love doesn't seek its owntakes no account of the wrong
done to it.
So God doesn't have a checklistof all the wrongs you've done to
him.
He knows what he created youfor.
And his love comes to set youfree to triumph over judgment,

(40:40):
mercy triumph over judgment.
Love, cover a multitude of sin.
Why to get you out, to get youclean and to get his life back
inside of you.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
Amen.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Every one of us in this room, I said it earlier, I
just didn't finish thisstatement.
I'm gonna make, we were all borninto Adam.
You can read it in Romans fiveand you must be born again.
In that birth, you can't bringin old motives.
You can't bring in old mindsets.
You can't in bring in the oldway you saw yourself.

(41:11):
It's everything's new guys, man.
I wish we'd teach this everytime people got born again, we
just make it a quick prayer togo to heaven.
The whole goal's going to heaveninstead of transformation,
instead of heaven coming backinto us, you're not praying as
sinner's prayer to go to heaven.
You're getting right with God.
So his spirit can live inside ofyou.
So you can walk in the light ashe's in the light.

(41:32):
So you can love one another,

Speaker 4 (41:35):
Not

Speaker 2 (41:36):
Be frustrated with one another, not use each other
as an excuse for wherever it is.
You are.
Come on.
People say, well, I wouldn't bethis way.
If it wasn't for wonder if Jesustried to pull that on us,

Speaker 4 (41:49):
Wonder

Speaker 2 (41:50):
If Jesus allowed men to decide who and how he was.
He couldn't do that.
He's love come on.
I've pastor for a while, I'velearned that a lot of people are
letting one thing, onesituation, and one person decide
who they are and how they areand that person's never Jesus.
But then we'll sing.

(42:10):
He's Lord in church, cuz it's inthe song, but what's really
governing your life is your viewof yourself and others.
And people owe you and peoplefailed you and people broke your
trust.
And next thing you know, youhave a justification for your
life and there's no hope forchange because you're looking
through that eye.
Come on.
That's not too harsh.

(42:34):
I determined a long time ago.
There's no one person gonnadecide who I am and how I am
unless it's Jesus.
I'm gonna deny myself.
I'm gonna pick up my cross.
What's that mean?
It means you never let sinagainst you give the right to
produce sin in you.
You never repay evil, free evil.
You overcome evil with good.
You don't back bite and youdon't bash.
And you don't talk about all thebad things people did to you to

(42:56):
make an excuse.
So people sympathize with youand now you have a reason to be
hurt.
No, you get up and you walk inlove and you understand if those
people knew who they were, theywouldn't say what they're saying
or do what they're doing.
And instead of being frustratedby'em, you should have
compassion on'em cuz if theyreally knew the truth, they
wouldn't be living that way.
And that should matter to you.

(43:18):
Let me give you scripturalbackground for that.
Forgive them father.
They know not what they do.
No, not what they do.
They're having secret meetingsand paying 30 pieces of silver.
And some of them say that's inscripture, they believed and
just didn't wanna be heckled bymen.
So they just stuffed theirbelief and their standard
created looks to me like theyknew what they were doing.

(43:40):
What Jesus is saying is theycouldn't have really saw.
Cause if they really saw, theywouldn't be living where they're
living and that's good enoughfor love.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
He

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Did something I wanna learn from him.
He said, if you're heavy Laden,if your burden heavy LA heavy
Laden come unto me, he said,I'll give you rest.
He said, his yoke is easy andhis burden is light.
He said, take of me, eat of me.
He said, learn

Speaker 4 (44:04):
Of me.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
He's the truth.
He's not a good idea.
He's the truth.
And he makes men free.
So where are we even goingtonight with this?
What are we even trying to say?
I'm trying to say he thinks awhole lot of us and that's not
heresy.
He would've never did what hedid and paid the price that he
did as a man that cost him allthat time and all that

(44:27):
persecution.
Do you realize that he knew, healready told the disciples, he
was gonna be turned over to thehands of sinful men and be
unjustly killed and crucified.
He already knew it.
Do you, do you know that healready knew his disciples were
gonna betray him and run andthat nobody was gonna stand
their ground?

Speaker 4 (44:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
Come on.
That's called hurt in ministry.
We have camps to send thosepastors to when that happens.
Yeah.
Cause we don't understand thegospel.
We just understand pain.
Wonder if we understood thegospel and no man owed me a
thing.
Yes.
Wonder if every day I woke up,nobody owes me a thing cuz I'm

(45:06):
not gonna give the power of mydisposition in my day to any
human being.
I'm gonna give it to the living.
God wonder if nobody owes me athing.
Wonder if my own spouse doesn'towe me a thing.
And I threw the psychology of itout the door.
When I got born again this 50 50in a lot of work and give and
take and you do for me and I'lldo for you.
Are you kidding me?
How about just waking up?

(45:27):
I love you and modeling Jesus.
No matter what sounds like.
That's what he did for us.
We ought to do that for others.

Speaker 4 (45:37):

Speaker 2 (45:39):
Come on.
Did you ever have the power tochange Jesus?
No.
That's why he has the power tochange us.

Speaker 4 (45:50):
Come

Speaker 2 (45:50):
On.
If we had the power to changehim, then he doesn't have the
power to change us.
So to learn who he is and stopgiving people the power to
change us and let him be the onethat changes us.
Did he ever change his mindabout men?
Have men ever been able to breakhis heart?
Come on.
He could been hanging on thatcross.
If he was just a man with amentality of man, he could have

(46:13):
been hanging there, crying somesad song.
Guys steady saying father,forgive him.
They don't know what they do.
He could have been crying out.
Are you kidding me?
People you tell me where I'vewronged you.
I healed so many of you.
I've fed your stomachs.
I've cleansed your lappers.
I've raised several.
You are dead and you're killingme.
Are you people nuts?

(46:34):
I'm living water.
I came from heaven.
Read the scripture.
I'm your Messiah.
And you wanna reject me andmistreat me.
Are you kidding me?
I've proved again.
And again and again through mylife who I am.
You didn't say none of that.
Did he like a lamb to theslaughter without a word gave

(46:55):
his life.
It was so important for him todo it.
Why?
Because he was fulfilling whatman failed and he was becoming
like us.
So we could be transformed backto sons and daughters again in
Ephesians.
One says you were predestinedinto adoption as sons and

(47:15):
daughters.
Please see yourself more thanforgiven.
Please see yourself more than,as signed up and registered for
heaven.
Please see yourself as sons anddaughters, A life and the spirit
of God on the inside of you.
The capacity to walk in love,like he loved, you know what?
Uh, Ephesians five says beimitators of God as dear
children.
Walk in love just as Jesus lovedand gave himself up.

(47:43):
See how you do it.
What'd Jesus say Matthew 16.
If any man come after me.
Let him deny him.
Now.
I'm not the sharpest man.
That's for sure.
I'm not a politician either.
And I don't have all theanswers, but I believe I'm right
on this one.
The biggest problem on theearth, isn't the things we make
it.
And it's not the presidency andit's, it's not the racism thing.

(48:04):
It's not ISIS.
The biggest problem in the earthvisit every day.
Men wake up and live forthemselves.
When they were made for God'simage every day, people go to
church and they're Christiansfor themselves and they prove it
by being discouraged, hurt.
And in unforgiveness,proclaiming the Lord, come on.

(48:25):
I'm not being mean.
I'm just being straight.
Don't be condemned.
Be inspired by what I'm saying.
And if the shoe fits, throw itoff and don't be Cinderella,
kick the thing off.
Come on.
It's good.
If some way come and just talkstraight like this now and then.

(48:45):
Cause I'm leaving soon.
I'm getting outta Dodgebaby.
no, are you hearing methough?
Yes.
Come on.
We prove many of us prove by ourlives that we're Christians for
our own sake, instead of hisgreat name.

(49:06):
Now you be straight with me andlet me talk to you just for
another minute or so.
Just think how it would changeour life, our responses and our
actions in life.
How we handle others.
If the truth about our motivewas we were Christians for his
namesake.
If you're just a Christian foryour wellbeing, your responses
will have a whole mixed bag ofstuff, but you're very a

(49:27):
Christian for his namesake.
If you really denied yourselfand picked up your cross and
you're really following him andyou're a Christian for the glory
of God and the sake of others,how would that challenge your
responses?
How would that keep convictionfresh in your life?
Wonder if you stayed alone withGod and talk to him about that
and prayed and asked holy spiritevery day to empower you to live

(49:49):
for his namesake in Ezekiel, hecried out.
He said, you know what?
I picked this nation of peoplecalled Israel out of the earth.
And I marked him as a holynation.
And they dispersed and went allover the nations and everywhere
they went, they profaned andmisrepresented my name and lived
as if they didn't know me.
The word profane means godless.

(50:09):
They lived godless among thepeople, meaning same attitudes,
same covetous desires, sameidolatries, same mindsets.
He said, but you know what I'mgonna do.
I'm gonna gather'em all back,pastor Robert, I'm gonna bring
'em all back together.
I'm gonna put a new heart inthem.
Take out the heart of stone, putin, in the heart of flesh, I'm
gonna put a new spirit in them.
He said, I'm not gonna do it fortheir sake, but I'm gonna do it

(50:33):
for my great name.
If you're made for God's image.
And that's your purpose forbeing alive?
If you are alive for his image,if that's the reason he made,
man, he didn't make man to earna good living.
If you're earning a good living,great, but make sure you're
pursuing his image.
The reason man's on the earth islet us make man in our image and

(50:58):
in the likeness in image of God,he made them both male and
female women.
You are not losing or lackinganything on us.
Men.
You're not here to scratch ourrich and you're not here to just
serve us.
You're here to shine and modelhis image as women of God.
That's your first created valuefound in the Bible.

(51:18):
The reason you make men completeis cuz you're an avenue of
expression of love to multiplythe same thing without the
woman.
There's no multiplication of theimage.
Are you with me?
It's right in your Bible, maleand female, both made for his

(51:39):
image and his likeness.
The number one reason a humanbeing is on the earth is for his
image.

Speaker 4 (51:47):
Say that again.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Well, it's real simple.
He made Adam and he gave himdominion and put everything that
he is in Adam.
And he breathed into Adam andman became a living being.
He gave him authority anddominion to rule the earth to
subdue it and not be subdued byit.
Is that in your Bible?
Yes.
And then he looked around thoseanimals and they all have a
partner that's comparable,meaning they can all reproduce

(52:12):
and multiply.
He's not just talking about AdamNeve, getting it on and having a
bunch of kids.
He's talking about him,multiplying, who he created him
to be.
Here's how you know it's true.
The woman, wasn't another lumpof clay.
He reached in to the fullness ofGod in the man.
He said, it's not good.

(52:33):
That man be alone.
Why?
Cause he's lonely.
Cut me a break.
He's filled with the fullness ofGod.
Come on.
Ephesians three says above allto know the love of Jesus
Christ, right?
The height, the depth, thewidth, the breadth to know the

(52:54):
love of Christ, which passesknowledge.
That means to know which passesknowledge is to be filled with
all the fullness of God.
I looked that word up.
That means a house with no emptyrooms Means a town with no empty
houses.
It means a ship.
So full of cargo.
There's no room to place anotherbox.

(53:16):
What's that mean over everyperson's life.
There's a no vacancy signflashing in Christ cuz you're
fully and completely occupiedand fulfilled.
Yeah.
Doesn't vulnerability drivepeople.
Don't people do things theyregret because of vulnerability
and emotional weakness.

Speaker 4 (53:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Don't people get played emotionally.
Don't women live by theirfeelings sometimes and cross
lines.
Don't men learn to takeadvantage of that.
Aren't people connecting, justlicking wounds, calling it love.

Speaker 4 (53:47):
That's

Speaker 2 (53:47):
Right.
Be real with me.
Wasn't that way from thebeginning.
That's the twist.
That's the fall of man.
You show me any life that's comeout of any of those scenarios.
You show anybody that's blessedand produced in life and
multiplying Christ.
That's living in any of thosearenas.
They're in survival mode andthey're trying to get by.
They're trying to feed thedeepest needs of their life.

(54:10):
And there's only one way you canonly know yourself through him.
Amen period.
Amen.
That's right.
So he looks at man and he says,man, this dude is chalk full of
me.
This guy looks just like me.
He doesn't make another lump ofclay.
He reaches right into thefullness of God in the man.
And he takes what was one andmakes it two.

(54:32):
Yes.
So two can be one.

Speaker 4 (54:34):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
Yep.
And in that place, cometogether.
Be fruitful.
Multiply till the whole earth isfilled with his glory.
Yeah.
That's where relationship began.
It wasn't one night.
Stand it wasn't chat rooms.
It wasn't lonely sitting in abar trying to connect it.
Wasn't being hurt by yourspouse.
So you get talking to somebodyelse that says what they're not

(54:56):
saying and buying in hello.
That's a Hollywood soap opera.
It can never be love.
It's never love.
It's always deception.
And it's always emotionallydriven.
That's

Speaker 4 (55:11):
Right.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
Never be love.
It's a self-centered person thatdoesn't realize most of the time
that it's self-centered we justthink it's normal.
Well, he wasn't there for me.
Well she wasn't well, no wonderI, they didn't well for five
months I just was sooner orlater you gotta get tired and
break.
I mean, I just, well where wasJesus?
All that time.

(55:32):
See cuz in Christ there's that'sthere's never your option when
I'm a pastor.
Okay.
So when I find out that somebodycheated on somebody, the first
sign it is without judginganybody, their life judges them,
the word judge means to presumeupon.
Let's just look at two youngpeople tonight and you see'em
sitting together and I think,well, but they're doing it.
that's judgment.

(55:54):
You're not supposed to do that.
But if a couple comes and tellsme their situation, and then I
start talking about it, theycan't say, well, you ain't
supposed to judge us.
I'm not judging you.
I'm talking about a realsituation.
That's a problem.
That's hurting your life.
And you already told me it'strue.
I'm not judging anybody stop.

Speaker 4 (56:09):

Speaker 2 (56:12):
Hello?
Did you ever hear anybody dothat?
They hide behind.
Well, you're not supposed tojudge me.
Yeah.
I'm not judging you.
I'm trying to tell you you'remore than that.
So let's just talk about it and,and get it straight.
Right.
But when I find out that aspouse cheated on her spouse, it
reveals that that spouse islacking a spiritual relationship
with Jesus or they would neverhave the capacity to cheat.

Speaker 4 (56:37):
Amen.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
So is the real issue.
The other spouse

Speaker 4 (56:42):

Speaker 2 (56:42):
No, the real issue is what you're lacking in Christ.
Cuz here's what you're gettingtricked into.
As much as you say, you hateyour spouse now.
And that's why you did that.
You're letting your spousedictate your life.
And the thing you are is becauseof them.
So they're fashioning you.
They're your Potter, but he'sthe great Potter.
The clay shouldn't be yielded tothe lie.

(57:04):
People do things cuz they'reangry.
Yeah.
People do things cuz they'refrustrated.
People do things cuz they'redisheartened and discouraged.
Everything has children.

Speaker 4 (57:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
But God's none of those things.
Ain't that's something.
See, this is so powerful.
What I'm telling you.
If you'll get ahold of this,I've been living this way for 25
years.
That's why I'm so passionate andaggressive with my speech.
Cause I'm either a real twistedman and I'm living off your
temporal.
Hmm.

(57:38):
Or I live this way.
Time will tell you, just see mefor a weekend.
Time will tell one day we'll allfind out.

Speaker 4 (57:48):
Yay.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
come on.
Don't tell me it's not possibleto wake up and not live for your
life and yourself that's notpossible to wake up and live for
his great name and his image andlive for the sake of others.
It's what Jesus made us for.
His image and his image is love.

(58:13):
As soon as Adam falls, he'sseparated from love.
He's in need of love.
He's separated from now.
He's in need of love a minuteago.
He's joined with love and he islove.
He's subduing.
The earth.
Don't eat the tree.
The day you eat the trees, theday you surely died, did he fall
over dead?
Then what died?
The image, the relationship, theconnection, and you must be

(58:36):
born.
And every man, since that imagedied was born into Adam.
And what Adam became everybodyin this room, born into Adam,
taught by the world, the wisdomof the world, the spirit of this
age taught by the lies of life.
Not the giver you with me.

(58:57):
That's why you're not formed tothe world anymore.
You're transformed by therenewing of your mind.
That's why you come outtadarkness and into the light.
That's why you come out fromthem and be separate.
You're in the world.
You're not of the world.
That's what all these scripturesmean.
You've been sanctified and setapart.
You've been put into a higherwisdom.
The wisdom of God says inCorinthians one Christ Jesus has

(59:18):
become the wisdom of God for us.

Speaker 4 (59:21):
You

Speaker 2 (59:21):
With me, come on.
If he didn't teach us, we neverlearned it.
Did he teach you to befrustrated?
Did he teach you to be anunforgiveness?
Did he teach you to tit for tat?
And he said, she said, well, Iwouldn't.
If they didn't, well, how comethey always would?
They make me so mad.
Did he teach us any of that?
No.
Then where'd we learn it and whyare we so sure it's so right to

(59:45):
give ourselves to it all thetime.
If I can't find it in him, Idon't ever wanna see it in me.
And you're the steward of yourown heart that just live by
faith.
It's time to man up guys andsay, you know what?

(01:00:05):
I'm gonna be a believer ratherthan a feeler ladies.
I'm gonna be a believer ratherthan emotion people say, well,
God gave us emotions.
Not the ones you grew up with.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Adam gave you those emotions.
You know how I know it's right.
They all spring out of aself-centered well, spring you

(01:00:27):
take away selfishness.
And the human being lookstotally different.
You think Jesus, isn't on thisthing and, and the truth.
He says, if you're gonna followme, there's one thing you have
to do.
If you're gonna follow me, denyyourself.
Why it's busting everything upyourself, living for yourself.
When you're made for my image isthe problem of your life.
It's not your neighbor, yourspouse, or your boss.

(01:00:48):
It's you living for you whenyou're made for my image.
And if you don't deny yourself,you'll never pick up your cross.
You'll let sins against you.
Give the right to produce in.
You.
You'll feel sorry for yourself.
And you're surround yourselfwith people that sympathize.
And they'll be your friends inthat season.
And then nobody's ever changed.
They're just justified in theirown mind, but no fruit to the

(01:01:12):
king.
And in this, the father's wellpleased that you bear much fruit
and that's your fruit remain.
Well, if you and I don't let thegospel give us a different
motive in life.
How's our fruit ever gonnachange.
If we don't wake up for adifferent reason, if we don't
wake up to shine, how are weever gonna shine?
Let your light so shine beforemen.

(01:01:36):
So they see your life andglorify the father.
Why Jesus said, when you see me,you see him follow me.
The things I do you'll do.
If you believe as he is.
So are we in this world firstborn among many, come on, you

(01:01:58):
need any more scripture.
I can give you more predestinedto be conformed to the image of
his son.
I give you second Peter one, youhave exceedingly great precious
promises by which you partake ofhis divine nature.
Colossians three, 10, you putoff the old man and you put on
the new man.
Who's renewed in knowledge.
According to the image of himwho created him.

(01:02:22):
Second Corinthians three, youlook in a mirror and behold us
in a mirror.
The glory of the Lord are beingtransformed into that same image
from glory to glory, even by thespirit of the Lord.
So I gave you like fourscriptures and then I gave you
like three or four more.
yeah.
Can you tell, I've read thatbook.

(01:02:44):
You know what?
I've done more than read thisbook.
Believed it.
It's one thing to quote it.
Yeah.
You're not a preacher when youquote it, I guess you can
proclaim it and be a preacher.
I guess technically you werenever called and anointed to
just proclaim it.
That's right.
The word becomes flesh anddwells among us.

(01:03:08):
That's the whole point.
And then you have something tosay, are you with me?
Yeah.
Well we're just well studied.
And we're passing on our study.
and we're allintellectual Christians and
we'll be doomed.
cause knowledge puffsyou up.

(01:03:31):
Love edifies and here's the rawtruth.
You can't let anything take theplace of knowing him.
You can't let your service intochurch service in a ministry.
You're calling in anointing.
You can let your Bible readingyour daily devotion.
You can't let anything take theplace of knowing him cuz knowing
him is what changes your life.
Serving in a ministry.

(01:03:51):
Doesn't transform your life.
Knowing him does praying aprayer to go to heaven.
That's what we call eternallife.
You know what Jesus calledeternal life in John 17 three.
He said to know him.
The only true God to know him iseternal alive.
How do you really know him?
How do you get that intimacyrelationship?

(01:04:11):
Believing him, watch this.
He said, how do you really knowhim?
Love that.
That was a aggressive heartfeltquestion.
Oh that blessed me.
Who you can see it in.
How do I, you know what that'slike?
That's like that little one whenyou don't have the bottle, but
she wants it.

(01:04:32):
you ever saw that?
Right?
And you get the bottle quick.
Don't you?
That's what?
He just remember.
Hot little beautiful.
You're so sweet.
Yeah.
I know.
Jesus makes me feel the same wayall the time.
all the time.
Yeah.
You hold onto that all the time.
Okay.
Don't let nobody touch that.

(01:04:54):
Yeah, that ain't for nobody.
Yeah.
Oh.
When a baby lets go of herbottle of milk to smile at you.
That's a compliment hesays, how do we know him?
How do you know him?
You know him through the personof holy spirit.

(01:05:14):
You get in touch and infellowship and in communion with
God.
But watch this.
You'll never really get to knowhim unless you believe and agree
with how he sees you through hisson, cuz you won't have the
confidence to be close to himand know him.
That's what removes the veil.
That's what like a bride.
That's what removes the veil.
You're being joined to him.
So you understand through thecross alone, through the cross

(01:05:35):
alone, not the circumstances oflife through the cross alone, he
loves you.
He's not mad at you.
Doesn't matter where you'vebeen.
Matter what you've done.
It matters that you care nowthat you see where he's been and
what he's done and youunderstand it's there.
I love you from God and you runto him and stop running from
him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And every morning you wake upfather, thank you for loving me.

(01:05:57):
Thank you that I'm your sontoday.
Thank you.
That you washed me clean thatyou gave me the present and
things to come.
You swallowed up my past.
I have new life through JesusChrist.
I so appreciate you in my life.
Yeah.
Holy spirit teach me today, man.
Help me to see Jesus more.
Help me to see people the wayyou see.
Thank you.
I'm done complain, complaining.
I'm done being frustrated.

(01:06:18):
I put off everything that usedto hold me back.
God, I'm becoming the man youpaid for me to become wonder if
you start every day, justthinking that way, driving to
work, thinking that way.
It's to can't believe I'm gonnawork an extra hour today.
And it's so miserable and, and afamily doesn't even have
appreciate anyway.
And the way my wife spends moneyand I whack whack,

Speaker 4 (01:06:37):
Whack, whack.

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
Now you tell me you got those thoughts from the Lord

Speaker 4 (01:06:44):

Speaker 2 (01:06:47):
Who's ever saw Jesus who's ever saw Jesus.
I'll sit here.
You can see me.
Who's ever just seen Jesus inany chapters of your Bible, just
sitting on a rock at daybreak,bummed out.
You don't have that chapter.
What version you all got?
You don't have a chapter.
And then Peter comes and sitsbeside him.

(01:07:07):
Finds a little flat rock pullsup.
What's the matter Lord.
No I'm okay.
No Lord.
I never quite saw you like this.
Well you wouldn't understandPeter.
Well, talk to me, give a chanceto understand Lord.
I love you.
Well, I don't think youunderstand how it feels, man.
Like you have good in your heartevery day you purpose to do

(01:07:30):
good.
You try to do good.
You're empowered from abovepeople are didn't healed.
I mean, did you see caper allthem?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was cool.
But the people, but the peoplethey're like they're sitting
there trying to figure outwhat's wrong with me?
Where's the catch?
What demon do I have?
I mean, God lets me hear thethoughts.

(01:07:51):
I wish he didn't their thoughts.
Aren't cool.
And I don't know.
I'm just bummed man.
And you know what's gonna happentoday.
They're gonna wrong me.
They're gonna come to me.
Why?
Cuz they want more bread fortheir belly.
They want more healing in theirbodies.
They don't want to hear a word.
I have to say.
They just want me to serve them.
And then when I serve'em theytry to find what's wrong with
the service.

(01:08:11):
I'm just bummed, man.
I think I need a break.
I don't, I don't know.
You guys can go wherever youwant today.
I'm gonna hang back.
I ain't, I ain't dealing withthe people.
And then he turns in here comesJohn.
No John, not today.
Just you're not no no,come here.
I have a better idea, John.

(01:08:32):
Why do I use silly a littleillustrations?
Cause if you can't find it inhim, why is it okay in us?
If it's not him, if it sounds sosilly putting that in him, it
should sound just as silly inyou.
If you're made for his image.
If as he is.
So are we in this world and thethings he does we'll do.
If we believe that's the key,what are we believe in?
Are we believe in the words ofmen, are we believe in our

(01:08:54):
circumstances, we believe infeelings and emotions, the
rooted in selfishness, or webelieve in a surrendered life.
That's the kingdom of Godthrough the blood of Jesus
Christ.
What do we believe in?

Speaker 4 (01:09:04):
Come

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
On, come on is right.
Come on.
If it sounds silly putting thatin him, it should sound just as
silly in you cuz you're made forhis image and he's the first
born among many brother.
You with me, come on.
When you squeeze an orange, youexpect orange juice.
My wife just found a big bag onsale and we have a little thing.
I squeezed the orange juice andI just juice is so good.

(01:09:27):
And you move that setting overwhere it's a big hole and it
ain't the little bars and it's adude.
It's good, man.
I had, I, I grabbed like threeor four big old there, big
oranges man filled'em in thisbig old cup.
Boom.
If that would've been applejuice, I just squeezed four big

(01:09:50):
oranges.
If that was apple juice, Iwould've spitted out.
As soon as it touched my lips,cuz I know it's orange.
Would've been weird.
Right?
Why isn't it weird when yousqueeze a Christian and
everything, but Christ comesout.
I wish that would be so weird tous.
I wish that would be so weird tous.

(01:10:12):
Wonder if Satan has learnedthat?
We're not sure exactly why weare what we say we are and we're
not exactly sure who we are andthat we have this kind of blend
and mix of something.
So he's just squeezing peoplejust to see what's in and what
they're made of and what theybelieve and what they
understand.

(01:10:33):
Wonder if he really is a Rome inlie and roaring around seeking
who he can to valor and youresist him steadfast in the

Speaker 4 (01:10:42):
Faith.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
So it's good to have somebody come along and just get
crazy with you for a little just, and just preach like five
sermons in an hour.
We can't put that kind ofpressure on pastor Robert he'll
fly me in.
I'll do it for him just for aweekend.
I just ArnoldSchwartzenegger of the kingdom

(01:11:09):
or the Sylvester Stallone of thebody of Christ.
You come in here and just dropit, man.
Boom.

Speaker 4 (01:11:16):

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
You act Jesus out like that.
It's like, yeah.
Okay.
But that's normal to us.
We sat and talked to our friendslike that and they cuddle us or
sometimes they ain't sosensitive and now you're double
offended cuz they don't evencare.

Speaker 4 (01:11:37):

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
Who they are trying to preach me.
Tell me I should get over it.
I seen them down and out enoughthey had no voice in my life.
And all of a sudden we don'tlike the messenger.
So we don't receive the messageand we get so thin skin.
We say, well, I hear what you'resaying.
I just don't like the way you'resaying it.
So you discard it.
Or we say, well, they get on mynerves instead of getting new

(01:12:01):
nerves or they get under my skininstead of getting new skin and
we always make someone orsomething the problem and never
look to ourselves to be changed.
I'll close with this.
You'd be real honest with me.
If you let tonight teach youthis one thing that from now on
every night you go to bed, youhave this in your heart and you

(01:12:23):
talk it out and you pray it out.
And when you wake up in themorning, you actually verbalize
it out and verbalize and startright here.
Nobody owes me a thing today.
Mercy gives me, gives giving meone more day.
Mercy's given me one more day,not to fulfill my dreams, not to
get the promotion, not to go onthe trip to Disney, go on

(01:12:44):
Disney, but make sure you'reshine.
When you go.
I'm not saying it's wrong to dothose things.
It's not why you're on theearth.
You're on the earth to shine.
Mercy woke you up one more dayto give you one more day to be
like him.
Don't miss that privilege anddon't expend it on self and
flesh and deception and humanwisdom and don't believe

(01:13:07):
anything that doesn't producelife.
Cause if he came to give youlife and life more abundantly
and your thought patterns notproducing life, then you're in
the wrong zone.
You believing the wrong thing.
Can you tell I'm genuinelyencouraged?
Like I don't know anything else.
Like they could lose my luggage.

(01:13:27):
They could do a lot of things onmy travel day and this is all
you're going to get.
Cause my luggage doesn'tdetermine me.
I'm not alive to complain.
I'm alive to shine in the midstof trials.
It doesn't mean he is gonna makeeverything go cookie color,
squeaky clean for me, there's alot of things that go wrong in

(01:13:48):
life in my life.
Just like in yours.
And there are alwaysopportunities to respond.
Just like he would.
If he's in my shoes andtheologically, I found out that
he is

Speaker 4 (01:14:00):

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
Are you with me?
So if all you have is a theologyfor him to protect you, to
provide for you and to blessyou, you're probably letting
life speak louder than truth andwondering where God is or what
you're doing wrong.
That's right.
Don't you let life speak louderthan truth.
Cuz truth makes you free, notlife.
And sometimes people do badthings.

(01:14:24):
Sometimes people make horriblemistakes.
Sometimes people flat out betrayyou, but here's how you'll know.
You know him when you don't livebetrayed when you've been
betrayed and you don't livebetrayed.
Now, you know, you're growingwhen people do things that
would've broke your heart beforeand you don't know how to break,

(01:14:45):
cuz you have compassion and loveand you're hurt for them for
having that capacity.
And you know, you've lostnothing cuz you found everything
in him.
See, the only reason we're sohurt by people is cuz we're
still finding our value andidentity through people.
So we're always taking it as areflection on us.

Speaker 5 (01:15:04):
That's

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
Right.
And it's a self-centereddeception.
But if you'll deny yourself andyou'll pick up your cross and
follow him, you'll find thatthese things change.
How do you get there?
Like the gentleman asked withhunger, you get there through
relationship, community, talkthese things over with God.
You, you get in alone, you'redriving in your car.
You talk about these things.
We have prayer life.

(01:15:24):
Most of us have a level of aprayer life and it's usually a
needs list.
Usually our prayer life is whatwe need God to do for us.
But what about your communionlife?
What about just communing withhim?
What about just fellowshipingwith the Lord?
What about him?
Just fathering you and you beinghis child driving to work and
just communing with him.

(01:15:45):
Thanking him for the gift calledlife, teaching you his way, a
whole new and living way.
Putting the attitude of heavenon the inside of you, causing
you to look through his eyes,see everybody the way he sees
them to take no account of thesuffered wrongs.
Come on love.
Doesn't seek its own love and ittakes no account of the wrong

(01:16:08):
done to it.
Well, that's a pretty heavyindictment.
We've been busted up by eachother.
Haven't we?
And guess what love does takesno account.
That means it doesn't even talkabout it takes no account.
Doesn't even see it.
Why?
Cuz it's not living for itself.
What it sees is that somebodycan't see who they are.

(01:16:29):
Forgiven father.
They know not what they firstTimothy one five says the goal
of our instruction is love.
First John two says, if he lovedus this way ought.
We not love one another.
For he who loves his brother hasno reason to stumble because of
him.
Ain't that something first Johnfour, seven and eight.

(01:16:53):
It's a little children's churchsong we think, but it's actually
scripture.
It's seven and eight saysbeloved.
Let us love.
One.
Another for love is of God andeveryone who love F is born of
God and knows God.
He who love.
If not just doesn't know God forGod is love.
He didn't say you don't pastor.
He didn't say you don't traveland preach.

(01:17:14):
He didn't say you don't play onthe worship team.
He didn't say you don't go on amission trip once a year.
He didn't say you don't attendchurch.
He didn't say you don't see yourneed for savior.
And then you're not going toheaven.
But he did say this.
If you don't love, there's onereason, not two, one.
You don't know him like youcould.
Which means I can't know himwithout being so influenced by

(01:17:36):
him.
That who he is begins tomanifest in my life.
That's how important thisrelationship is.
That if you love it's cuz youknow him and if you don't love
or I'll have to back up.
If you don't love, you justdon't know him.
That's not an insult.

(01:17:56):
That's not a slam.
That's an invite intorelationship.
So when you see somebody walkingin love, unconditional love, not
taking account of a sufferwrong.
What's it evidence of they knowhim.
Yeah.
It's not cuz they never missedchurch.
You go to church for 50 years,never miss a Sunday, get thrown
into crisis and respond like theman that never went to church.

Speaker 4 (01:18:20):
Amen.

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
Miss the whole point of why you went and think you're
just paying your dues or payinghomage.
No, the whole reason we're notto forsake ourselves assembling
together in order we might stireach other in love and good
works.
Yeah.
You come to get empowered andfocused and sharpened.
So when you leave, hopefully youlook just a little more like him
than when you came.

(01:18:41):
That's why we gather.
It's not just to see what Godmight do for us.
It's how can you make us morelike him so we can walk in the
light as he's in the light.
You with me.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:18:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
I'll take that applause as a stopping point.

Speaker 4 (01:19:05):

Speaker 2 (01:19:07):
The people told me to start.
No I'm I appreciated theapplause.
There's a receptivity in that.
I don't need to say anymore.
I said plenty.
I probably preach five sermons.
If you wanna break it down,

Speaker 4 (01:19:19):

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
Got a whole lot more in me.
I'm never done.
Just stop.
It's a time thing.
I'll never stop preaching man.
I'm preaching to myself all thetime.
I preach people.
I talk to, it says everycreature I talk to a tree.
If I'm the only, that's the onlything I have.
you're amazing.

(01:19:42):
You are awesome.
Wind blowing tree.

Speaker 4 (01:19:52):
Ah,

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
Go ahead.
Worship him.
It's the goodness of God thatleads men to change.
It's not the reprimand or thejudgment of God.
I didn't come here to shout youdown.
I came here to cheer you on.
Yeah.
I came here and right out of thegate, I told you that Jesus

(01:20:15):
thought your life lived wasworth his him coming to the wom
of woman and dying.
You coming alive was worth himdying.
That he actually did the extentof what he did cuz he wanted to
restore the value of your life.
Not just forgive you.
Amen.
That's pretty intense.
Come on.
Does anybody pay a high pricefor nothing?

(01:20:36):
How do you value the life ofJesus Christ?
How do you put a price tag onthe surrender in life of Jesus
Christ?
How do you put a price tag onhim coming through the womb of a
woman and becoming a man andhe's God.
And he has to become a man tocome as a man.
How do you put a price on allthat?
I'd call it selfless.
Yes.
I'd call it the deepest andhighest expression of love.
Wouldn't you?

(01:20:57):
He must really know what he'sbuying.
If he's gonna pay that high of aprice.
Come on.
I know us.
We know each other.
You're two for one buffet.
All you can eat.
It's 40% off and you know, intwo weeks cuz of the season
we're in, it'll be 60 and youwait.
Why?
Because when you write thecheck, you're sure what you're
buying is well worth.

(01:21:18):
What you're paying.
Yeah.
Any car dealers here, any carsalesman?
Don't be ashamed.
You're not all crooked.
Usually they won't raise theirhands.
Cuz we have this society beliefthat they're all crooked.
I don't believe that I've metsome amazing car dealers, no car
dealers here.
Robert used to be Robert.
Did you used to be a car?

(01:21:38):
I'm glad you got saved.
No, no.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
Kidding.
I figured I'd get away withthat.
Cuz nobody raised their hand.
Did you use to be a carsalesman?
Okay.
So when you were a car salesman,you had the price in the window
or whatever or wherever, butpeople never just came up and

(01:21:59):
said, wow, that's a great buy.
They usually tried to get youlower.
Tried to get you to absorb theirtransfer fees or their taxes and
even still knock off.
And they're, they're sure yougot that at auction.
They're sure you got that as arepossession or for practically
nothing.
And you're gonna try to eat fora month on their purchase.
That's how people think buyingcar.
Am I right?
Or am I how far off?

(01:22:20):
So what do they do?
Keep trying to knock you down tosee hello.
They can get you and you have toplay that game as a salesman to
try to get in that zone whereyou're still feeding your
family, but selling a car.
Am I telling the truth?
Okay.
So when you were a car salesman,what did you do?
Used cars or new cars used usedcars.
That's that's the one I reallywas hoping so you got the

(01:22:44):
used car and it says 12, nine onthe window.
They Kelly blue book it quick.
They go, whoa, this thing says13 one.
They type in all the car, theyear, good condition.
You got 12, nine.
They go 13 one.
They look and you got a littlehalo on your head.

(01:23:05):
they think this guy'shonest telling blue books.
I mean a couple hundred morethan they got in the window.
They're giving me a fair buy.
They don't have this marked up.
Who's ever done that.
And then they go, I'll tell youwhat, that's a good car, man.
You got a good price on that.
Oh, it's a very good car.
Believe me.
I mean, we're not making a wholelot on it.
We're trying to be fair.

(01:23:25):
That's why the price is on it.
I know what we got it for.
We're just making a couplehundred dollars commission and
well I'll tell you what, 12, 9,13 1 I'll give you 14, two
.
Did anybody ever do that?
Nobody ever did that.
Why don't they do that?
Cause they don't want to givewhat it's not, but yet he shed

(01:23:49):
his blood to redeem your life.
He must believe the purchasepossession is well worth the
price.
Not worth the price well worththe price.
That's powerful man.
And see no preacher ever told methat, but I didn't know.
Robert, no preacher ever told methat Jesus died on the cross to
restore my value and that thecross revealed my value.

(01:24:12):
Didn't just expose my sin.
Forgave.
My sin exposed my value.
That changes things.
Because as a young man, I had nocapacity to change and I still
felt like I was always just asmessed up a sinner.
But I believe the cross and I'dwatch crucifixion movies and I
actually feel guilty.
And after a while it was hard togo to church, cuz I always felt
bad about myself, who can relateto that?

(01:24:34):
And you actually believe thecross, but you had no power to
change.
We'll talk this week about thepower to change.
Some people still don't believewe have the power to change.
It's the cross that changes you.
It's holy spirit.
It's the working of God's power.
It's called grace.
You're saved by grace throughfaith.
It's called seeing yourself inrighteousness.
We'll talk about it cuz I am notthe same man.

(01:24:56):
I was before I was born.
Again, I'm not living with aconscious awareness of sin.
I'm not expecting to stumbleevery step of the way.
I don't believe I'm sinning.
Why I'm breathing.
Like people taught me growingup, actually believe I'm a son
manifesting and shining and inthe making.
And, and if I would stumble, Iwould never run from him and put
on the fig leaves.
I run to him and get wiser,sharper and clean in his

(01:25:20):
presence.
Cuz he washes me in the bloodand I didn't find a way to sin
and get away with it.
I found a way to be free.
And I'm gonna talk about thatthis weekend.
So we're coming tomorrow morningand tomorrow night and then
Sunday.
So if you can come, come, we'lltalk about it.
We'll probably expound a littlemore on how to get to know God
more.

(01:25:40):
Okay?
Y'all getting something out ofthis.
Yeah, watch this.
If you leave here with thistonight, I'm on the earth to
pursue his image.
And that's why he came to puthis image back into me.
And every day I wake up, I havea higher goal.
I wake up to walk in love.
I wake up to model his image.
I wake up to shine and in thattruth, watch nobody owes me a

(01:26:03):
thing.
What would that do for yourmarriage?
If you forget your spouse forjust as quick second,

Speaker 4 (01:26:08):
Just

Speaker 2 (01:26:08):
You put that on in your marriage and your family in
your home.
That nobody owes you a thing andyou didn't hold anybody to any
expectations.
They couldn't fail or break yourheart cuz you were blessed to be
alive and you were excited toshine.
It took me through an eight yearthing with my wife where I
didn't even see the pain event

Speaker 4 (01:26:24):
Eight

Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
Years.
My wife was in an identity,struggle with her own self.
And for eight years, all I coulddo is love her and not get tired
where you broke it.
And for eight years I just aboutlived like a married single man,
if you follow my drift becauseshe got so demeaned in her
identity and there was a timeshe was even suicidal when I was
a full-time pastor and shewouldn't come to church.

(01:26:48):
Can you see that in

Speaker 4 (01:26:49):
Me?
Can you tell, I've been throughthat?

Speaker 2 (01:26:56):
I wasn't calling nobody asking for help in
prayer.
Why not?
On the earth to be loved by her.
I'm on the earth to love her.
There's not a thing she can doto break my heart.
Why he fixed it?
And he put the right why in it?
And I live for the right reasonsnow and I don't wake up to be
loved by her.
I wake up to be more like him.

(01:27:17):
So when she's having troublebrings out the best in me.
But if I start saying brother,you better pray for me.
If she don't change soon, I'mabout the break, man.
Dude can only take so much.
Okay?
Tell me Jesus taught you thatattitude.
No men taught you that attitude,your own feelings suggest that's
true, but you show me whereJesus gave up on you.

(01:27:40):
You show me where Jesus let goof you.
You show me where Jesus justdropped on you.
Just one of you tell me that youactually came to Jesus and he
legitimately gave you a hardtime and said, oh, you're coming
to me.
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:27:53):
You

Speaker 2 (01:27:54):
Should have came a long time ago.
Hi, beautiful.

Speaker 4 (01:27:58):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (01:27:59):
He's so precious.
See, nobody had that experience.
We came to him and he washed usclean.
As if we never failed.
There was no long discussion andI'll get back to you tomorrow
and see where we stand.
I'll go have a board meetingwith the 24 elders and
deliberate and I'll be in touchin the morning.

Speaker 4 (01:28:21):
Come

Speaker 2 (01:28:21):
On man.

Speaker 4 (01:28:25):
Eight

Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
Years, my wife lived like that.
Would you say she was introuble?
Would you say she really neededa revelation of Jesus guess
where he lives

Speaker 4 (01:28:39):
In me?

Speaker 2 (01:28:40):
So now he did time to be a frustrated, discouraged
husband, a statistic on theearth with an alibi, a
justification.
Now it's time to be like him cuzthat's why he's in me to love
her in her most trying timeFascinates me that when people
cheat on each other, the onlything we focus on is how hurt

(01:29:02):
the person is.
That's cheated on.
We don't even have the abilityto hurt for the person cheating,
especially when they wereChristians.
Cuz we don't even realize howlost they must be.
How confused they must be, howhard they must be.
Something is really wrong.
If you're sleeping around andyou're married, but all we can
do is hurt for the personcheated on and almost resent the
person that cheated and theperson that cheated is the one

(01:29:25):
in trouble.
And the person cheated ondoesn't have a problem.
If they keep their life right inChrist, they just gotta walk
through some real things.
But in the long run they don'thave a problem.
Their spouse is in greattrouble.
It's amazing how hard it is topreach that in the church
because we think and feel andhurt for ourselves all the time

(01:29:45):
and think it's normal.
And if Jesus lived that way,he'd had never put himself in
Mary.
He'd been sitting up therecrying because of us waiting for
us to make up for it.
He said, Nope, I'll taking in myown hands and I'll make up for
it.
That's the Jesus that we loveguys.
And that's the one that gave uslife.

(01:30:07):
Y'all good.
Okay.
I'm done.
I know you don't believe me.
I don't even believe me.
It's eight 30.
I'm being so easy on you guysflew the whole way over here for
an eight 30 servant.
I don't think so.
I gotta milk this out a little can we do, can we do
something though?
Can we do something quick?
I didn't talk about this much,but really new life through

(01:30:27):
Jesus covers it.
Forgiven covers it.
If your sins are forgiven, canwe just, can we do this a
certain way?
Can we just pray for the sickwithout taking a super crazy
long time and actually see whatGod's doing in the room?
Can we do that?
Would y'all like that?
Would that be fun?
If we like pray for the sick andthen actually see what God's
doing rather than just pray andeverybody go home, but we

(01:30:47):
actually see what God's doing.
Would you like that?
Okay.
So here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna pray for the sickreal quick.
We won't be super long withthis, but pay attention.
Okay?
Cause I want you to help andparticipate.
And if we came this far, don'tback out on me now.
Okay.
Don't say, oh, that healingthing I ain't sure about that.
Well now would be a good time toparticipate and just hang in

(01:31:08):
there.
Don't get up and leave.
If you leave, I'm calling you atthe door.
I'm gonna pray the door.
Doesn't open you go back thereand boom and bang your head on
the door.
Cuz it didn't open.
You better sit down.
That's your cue.
Here's the deal.
When you pray for the sick,actually these signs shall
follow those that he's nottalking about the disciples.

(01:31:30):
He's not talking about theapostles.
He's talking about believers.
He said in Matthew 28, didn't hetell them these things to go
pray and, and, and ministerthese things, right?
Didn't he tell him in Matthew 28to teach these things and teach
every man go make disciples ofevery nation and teach them to
observe everything I taught you.
So if he's talking to them, ishe talking to us?

(01:31:52):
That's where we make a gravemistake in the church.
We say, well that was theapostles.
No believers.
These sons shall follow thosethat believe if you look in the
context of mark, what he'ssaying is those that believe
through your message.
They're supposed to go andpreach.
And those that believe throughyour message.
These signs will follow thosethat believe they will lay their

(01:32:14):
hands on the sick and the sickwill recover.
Right?
There's other signs too.
That's the last one.
First one is the though, uh,those speak in new tongues.
They cast out devils.
I mean, you start looking at thelist.
Things that have thrown a monkeywretch in the church, you talk
about praying in tongues.
People are like, wow.

Speaker 4 (01:32:34):
And

Speaker 2 (01:32:34):
You talk about cast out devils.
Like what devils, what freakythat's are you mean?
You're trying to say

Speaker 4 (01:32:41):
Possessed.

Speaker 2 (01:32:42):
I mean the things Jesus said are the basic signs
of believers are freak out modefor a lot of churches.

Speaker 4 (01:32:49):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:32:52):
Okay.
So here's the deal.
I've learned this over theyears.
This is just experience.
I've learned this over theyears.
The number one, I'd say I'd daresay this in your house.
The number one reason peopledon't pray for the sick.
It isn't because they don'tbelieve it's cuz they're afraid
nothing will happen.

Speaker 4 (01:33:08):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
They're afraid nothing will happen.
Hey.

Speaker 4 (01:33:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:33:13):
And because they're afraid nothing will happen.
Guess what they do.
They don't lay their hands onthe sick.
So guess what?
They always have nothing.
The very thing they fear it'sparadox.
Once you say self centerness ishinge to that and how they'll
feel and what the look

Speaker 4 (01:33:29):
Of.

Speaker 2 (01:33:30):
And I'll say, and I know some people, well I just
don't wanna misrepresent him.
Not loving people and prayingfor the sick is misrepresenting
him.

Speaker 4 (01:33:39):
Cause

Speaker 2 (01:33:39):
It is a sign of a believer.

Speaker 4 (01:33:41):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:33:42):
Look, if love never fails, I don't wanna fail to
love.

Speaker 4 (01:33:47):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:33:48):
Are you with me?
Yeah.
So here's the deal when you prayfor the sick, it's real simple.
It's not your prayer.
Be honest with me.
Help me with this.
I've learned this too.
Who in here has prayed for thesick before.
Okay, good.
Wow.
That's a majority majormajority.
That's exciting.
That's refreshing.
Now watch this.
So I have I'll have good classparticipation.
You'll you'll uncomfortablychuckle.

(01:34:09):
When I say this, I promise youWho realize when they prayed for
the sick and you're thinkingabout it, as I'm saying it, when
we go to pray for the sick,we're more conscious about what
we pray, how we pray and what wesay.
Then the finished work of Christand God's love for the person.
It becomes more about us and howwe're praying.
We're trying to pray right.
And powerful and effective.
And we become self-conscious.

(01:34:30):
As soon as we start praying forthe sick, a lot of the times
y'all get that.
Okay.
So that's a good way for nothingto ever happen.
And, and, and that's a goodthing to never ever do again.
Okay.
So it's not about your longprayer.
It's not about emphasizing nameof Jesus.

Speaker 4 (01:34:46):
Jesus.

Speaker 2 (01:34:48):
You know, it's not about trying to hit the right
tone or wave the right colorflag or hit the right note on
the show far.
You know, Jesus, whoa.
It's not that it's his finishedwork.
It is finished.
So there's something we have tosee through the cross that he
died to forgive our sins.

(01:35:09):
He shed his blood, right?
He was, he was raised from thedead for our justification.
Don't forget his benefits.
He forgives all of our sin.
He heals all our disease nowjust because we prayed for
people and haven't seen himhealed doesn't mean you have the
right to change what his wordsays.

(01:35:30):
We need to let what his wordsays.
Keep changing us.
Some of us, I'm not being smart.
I'll look up.
I'm not talking to anybody.
I'm just making a statement.
Some of us have a hard timemaintaining a healthy attitude.
But we think, cuz we've read atechnical scripture.
We should apply it.
TA da.
And it works.
It's not a technical scripture.

(01:35:51):
It's a revelation.
It's something you see, notsomething you say,

Speaker 6 (01:35:57):
Yeah,

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
Are you with me?
We just, sometimes some of ushave a hard time maintaining a
healthy attitude.
But we, we say, well, I prayedfor them and they weren't healed
and this and that.
And, and we're having a hardtime just living our life
productive sometimes in areas.
And then we get discouraged withscripture and we turn this into
a book of, of principles insteadof a revelation of relationship

(01:36:18):
and intimacy and love

Speaker 6 (01:36:21):
On

Speaker 2 (01:36:21):
Faith work is through love.
You.
Don't read the Bible and throwthis thing in your toolbox and
say, okay, I say this, say this.
And he does this.
I've seen countless Christiansgive up and get disappointed.
Well, I went out now I prayedand God didn't do nothing.
And if he ain't showing up, Iain't showing up.
I've met tons of Christians.
Talk like that.
I walked into a subway with aguy that used to pastor through

(01:36:43):
pastoring aside because he wentout on the streets and never saw
any healings.
And we're just talking.
And I asked if he'd do lunchwith me.
I didn't even know him.
He got nervous.
I was at a conference.
He didn't even doesn't even dochurch anymore.
He kept feeling like God said,go to the conference, go to the
conference, go to theconference.
He's sitting way in the back.
I just noticed him.
It was a God thing.
I'm preaching.
I noticed him at the end.

(01:37:04):
I told the, the leader don'thook me up with anybody.
There's a guy I wanna go tolunch with.
I went back and I said, Heybuddy, what's your name?
He told me his name.
He looked nervous.
I said, can we do lunch?
I, I bowed out of what they allwanted me to go to lunch with
certain people.
But I felt drawn to you.
I wanna go to lunch with you.
He's nervous.
Okay.
He's backsliding.
But he's hungry.
Who knows his heart's good downon the inside.

(01:37:25):
Who knows?
He's just deceived and confused.
And who knows?
He's not evil.

Speaker 6 (01:37:31):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
He's just deceived.
We go to lunch.
We're talking.
He's telling me his whole story.
I know you find this hard tobelieve.
I'm great listener and say word.
I just, you let people talk.
oh, I'm a greatlistener.
I'm actually believe I'm abetter listener than a talker
because people expose and revealwhat they believe and where
their heart is and where they'relocated.
When they talk.
I just let'em talk.

(01:37:52):
I just listen the whole way tosubway.
I asked if we could do subway.
We went into subway.
So I'm getting my great sandwichmade.
It was awesome.
They're just making my sandwich.
Subway is awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:38:04):

Speaker 2 (01:38:04):
I think there's gonna be subways at the marriage piece
of the lamb.
He's behind me, girlsmaking my, my sandwich.
And I looked at her and I said,honey, I never said anything to
this guy.
I just heard his whole story.
And he talked to me about how hewent on the streets and how he
used to pass.
I said, really you on pastormorning?
No, well it's because he tellsme this.

(01:38:25):
I mean, it was a terrible, sadstory.
So we're in subway and I'm like,wow.
And said, well, we gotta get oursandwiches.
We can talk at the table.
I get, I look at this lady and Isaid, honey, what's going on in
your neck and down into yourshoulder.
I said, car wreck.
She went, oh, how do you know?
I said it was a couple yearsago.

(01:38:46):
You've been going through thisfor a while.
She said two, two and a halfyears.
She said, how did you know that?
I said, listen, there's only oneway I could know that.
I said, the Lord showed me nowlisten right away.
When somebody does that, we say,whoa, they're so spiritual.

Speaker 4 (01:39:02):

Speaker 2 (01:39:04):
We wanna make people spiritual heroes.
We, we, people will come up.
You tell story like this, comeup and say, just tell me
whatever you hear.
I just want to hear whateverword, whatever.
And it's like, stop.
It's not why I'm telling thisstory.
Nobody has a thing unless it'sgiven.
And if, if he didn't speak, I'dhear nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:39:22):
Right.
Amen.

Speaker 2 (01:39:24):
But I actually believe he'll do that.
I'm positioned for it.
How many of you went into subwaythinking you'll hear stuff like
that for people.

Speaker 4 (01:39:32):
Sometimes

Speaker 2 (01:39:32):
It's so farthest thing from our mind.
And sometimes you get littleimpressions and discount'em as
something else you might findthe whole time.
It was God speaking.
He just gave me that littlebloop.
And I said, listen, honey.
I said, it hurts you right now.
She said, oh, it's it'svirtually like messed up
vertebrae.
It's kind of a pinch nerve.
It's always there.
It's bad.

(01:39:53):
I said, honey, it gets waybetter than just hearing it.
Gimme her hand, reach over.
And we prayed.
And I always say to people,you're gonna love this.
I said, gimme your hands.
You're gonna love this.
And she's like,

Speaker 4 (01:40:04):

Speaker 2 (01:40:05):
Just real simple father.
Thank you for your amazing lovefor her wholeness in Jesus name.
No more pain, three seconds.
She's making sandwiches.
There's a line.
It's not time to pray for a halfhour or preach for 15 or 20
minutes.
Or like there's a time foreverything under the sun.

(01:40:27):
You came for this.
It wasn't time in the subway.
She goes, it's her body whoknows?
She knows it's the mostbeautiful thing I've seen it so
much.
Just cry.
And oh,

Speaker 4 (01:40:43):
Oh,

Speaker 2 (01:40:44):
What I said, listen, there's a reason.
I just shared Jesus with herpastor.
I wasn't even, I forgot abouthim.
I'm locked.
Right, right.
She says, can you, can you dothe same thing for my friend?
I said, I, what, what about shesat me, get her.
She ran.
She said, Hey, she pulled herout of the little kitchen thing

(01:41:04):
and pulled her out.
I'm not saying this for any badreason.
I just saw it.
You could not see it.
She had her whole neck was atattoo of a spider web.
And she had a black widow on herAdams app.
And it's the statement ofsomething.
Right?
And I'm it.
Wasn't like Jesus

Speaker 7 (01:41:22):

Speaker 2 (01:41:23):
And I'm not like, oh, that girl, no wonder she has
pain in her body.
Just serving up the devil.
No, it's just a reflection ofwhat she's going through.
How she feels, how she takeswhatever.
She's trying to make astatement.
She's got her whole necktattooed.
She's got pain in every joint ofher body.
She's so young.
And the girl's telling me herstuff.
And I said, you got pain rightnow.

(01:41:44):
She looked at me and we, shesaid, no, you gotta let this man
pray for you.
You know how my neck and how Ialways it's.
I'm telling you for real, thisgirl's already get in touch by
Jesus.
I don't even say a thing.
She's already emotional.
I got her hand and I prayed.
She sobbed.
And she sobbed and she sobbedthis.
Every pain came out of her bodystanding at sublet.
So I got my sandwich.

(01:42:06):
I paid for pastor sandwich.
I ran over and sat down.
He come in behind me and satdown.
Cause there was people coming,young, black man comes out tall,
thin guy.
He's gonna ring me up.
I said, Hey buddy.
He said, I'm fine.
I'm fine.

Speaker 7 (01:42:19):

Speaker 2 (01:42:22):
It was hilarious.
He backed up.
He said, I'm fine, man.
I'm fine.
I said, okay, good, good.
He didn't want fist bump.
You don't know why people dothings like they do.
But it was just funny.
So I went and sat down, pastorsits down.
I look up to talk to him, getswhat pastor's doing.

(01:42:43):
He said, you know, I went outand I took the scripture on the
streets, but I never took love.
It was like, I was testing Godand holding to his word.
I didn't even have compassionfor people.
He said, I watched love pouroutta you for those girls.
Like they were your own girls.
I could see the love.
I could feel the love.
It was like, you knew them.
You loved them.
I could tell how much you caredfor those girls.
He said, I went and did allthese principles and I never

(01:43:05):
took love.
He said, man, I've beendeceived.
I said, you've been deceived fora long time.
Welcome home.
And we just chatted.
And soon as the line ended,guess what?
The girls did dove right in atour table.
And we just pray and fire.
Ah, we just had fun.

(01:43:26):
It is fun.
They came right to the table.
Why?
Cuz they found life in themessage.
They found life in Jesus.
Ain't that cool?
Not a sermon.
We're not doing a service.
We weren't in a conference.
We're just getting a sandwich.
These signs follow those that

Speaker 7 (01:43:47):
Amen.

Speaker 2 (01:43:48):
But you gotta carry a belief in your heart.
If you're gonna be conscious ofthese things when you're out
there.
So here's the deal.
We're gonna do it now.
And I took a long time to gethere.
We're still before nine o'clockthough.
when you pray forpeople, you'll find two things,
a lot of different ailments, alot of different sicknesses and
challenges.
But you'll find two situations.
You'll find a situation where ifpeople were healed, they

(01:44:09):
wouldn't necessarily know it inthe time because it's something
that comes and goes, you're in agrocery store line and they're
talking about a migraine thathits'em once every six, seven
days and they're in the sixthday and they thought it was
gonna hit'em today.
And they're glad it isn't here,but they're expecting it
tomorrow.
Do you ever hear anybody talklike that?
That's what you speak right up.
Come on.
The worst they could probably dois say no.
Right when you ask for prayer, Imean, I guess they could pull a

(01:44:31):
nine millimeter out and shootyou and you're still not gonna
die.
So just be okay.
but they're probably notgonna shoot ya.
Probably not.
They're probably gonna say nothank you.
that's not so hard totake.
Can I just pray for you?
No.
Oh and then you fall over anddie spiritually.

(01:44:52):
Are you kidding me?
people say no to Jesusevery day and he's okay.
He loves them.
He knocks on the door sometimesevery day, nobody answers like
nobody's home and they're therethe whole time and just keeps
knocking.
Cause that's what love does us.
Great.
So the worst they can do isprobably say no thank you.

(01:45:15):
But I ask'em please.
Don't say no, I'm a littleaggressive sometimes.
I'll say listen, Iwasn't Eves dropping.
I couldn't help.
But to hear what you said aboutthe headache, that has to be
terrible.
Oh.
And they're quick to tell youhow horrible it is and how often
they're quick to tell you thedetails.
Right?
Well, listen, I don't wannaembarrass you.
I don't wanna make much of thisnight selling you a thing, man.
It's ripping my heart.

(01:45:35):
When I hear that, I please gimmethe honor praying for you and
believe what you wanna it'sokay.
I'm not trying to make a scene,honey.
If I didn't see this stuffhappen, I wouldn't be asking
you.
I'm not winging it and I'm nottaking a shot at it.
That's where I'm at now withpeople.
When I talk to him, I say, if Iknew nothing was gonna happen,
I'd be a fool to ask.
I'm asking.
Cause I believe he can changeit.
And he'll never come back.

(01:45:55):
Would you let me pray please?
Don't say no, by then they seeyou're serious.
And even if they don't believe,they usually say, okay
and that's where you wanna makesure you only pray for about
four or five, six seconds.
No more because you're not.
You're there to bless him.
Not freak him out.
Yeah, that's fine.
Yeah.
Amen father, I thank you foryour amazing love for her

(01:46:16):
migraines.
You leave her.
You never ever come back.
The authority of Jesus name.
Thank you father for your love.
And you look at him and say,yeah, I know that seems simple,
but honey, it wasn't simple.
Jesus paid an incredible priceto make what we just did
possible.
What happens when you leavethere?
And the thing doesn't come back.

(01:46:37):
What happens if it doesn't comeback in a week, two, four,
that's gonna work on or ain'tit?
You say?
Well, wonder if it does comeback?
Well, you've lost nothing.
You've showed her that you care,you believe and you're pursuing
something and you love, shealready wasn't expecting
anything.
It's not like you're trashingthe gospel.
Well, thank God he disappointedme.
I thought I'd be healed.

(01:46:57):
She's not.
If she thinks you're not eventotally.
I'll tell you what people don't,don't miss that you're genuine.
You're sincere.
And that you care about him andyou so see to love.
Wonder if wonder if they get inthe car and they sit down and
they're thinking and they go,man, that was weird.
It's almost like they didn'teven know me, but it's almost

(01:47:19):
like they cared.
It's like they really loved me.
And all of a sudden the spiritLord comes on them cuz you, so
decedent says, I've loved youfrom the beginning.
And now they're having someencounter with God cuz you so
deceit, you ought be in faithfor this stuff.
So here's what we're gonna doreal quick tonight.
And I know you don't believeanything's quick at this point.
I'm trying, man.

(01:47:40):
I'm a teacher.
I'm a teacher.
I, I want to instruct, I want toteach, but here's what we're
gonna do real quick.
Please participate.
If, if this fits yourdescription, you're in the room.
You have a situation less thanwholeness.
It's, it's something that comesand goes.
You'd have to have a test.
It shows up on a result, but youdon't have any physical symptom
or anything to, to identify thatit's there.
That it's not there right now.

(01:48:01):
But you just have an ongoingcondition or you're medicated
for it.
Or it would take a test resultor it's stuff like migraines.
You'll follow me.
You have a situation in yourbody, less than wholeness right
now.
And there'd be no way to test.
If you're healed cuz youwouldn't be able to know.
Time would have to tell.
Let me see who you are.
If, if you can stand to yourfeet, just stand your feet real

(01:48:22):
quick.
So we know who you are.
Please don't stay in your seat.
If you have this condition, comeon, I challenge you.
Please stand up.
If you have something like this,don't sit there and say, oh,
this ain't real or why don't youjust stand up?
You got nothing to lose.
Okay?
Stand up.
Come on.
If you fit this condition, standup.
If you were healed, you wouldn'tknow.
Thanks.
People were slowly getting up.

(01:48:44):
I'm wait.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I'm still waiting.
I heard like four or five.
So I saw 1, 2, 3.
I'm just gonna wait for at leasttwo more.
You just stood up.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Just waiting.
Sometimes it takes a while.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Don't let's not come this farand miss out now.
Come on.
If I didn't think anythingwasn't gonna happen, why would I
take the time to do this?
I'd have preached my amazingsermon and went back to the

(01:49:06):
house.
So, uh, this is good.
We got everybody.
Do we really?
We got two more.
I just keep hearing in my hearttwo more.
I know we had more earlier.
Thank you.
I got him.
I'm good.
Isn't that awesome.
Come on.

(01:49:26):
Do I have plenty of people topray for?
Why am I waiting and thinking?
I hear too.
Cause he wants everybodyinvolved.
Cause I believe this is real andI believe it's gonna make a
difference.
So why would you want if Ibelieve that?
Why would I want you sit and I'mgonna compel you to stand right?
That what love would do.
Okay.
If you're sitting near him rightbeside him or right behind him,
stand up and tap.

(01:49:47):
'em get'em to turn around.
Don't pray yet, but just say,Hey, I'm gonna stand with you
when, when we pray.
So just you don't even have totell'em what's going on.
We're just gonna do a simple fewsecond prayer.
Okay?
The people that stood, all Iwant you to do is this.
I want you to believe Jesusloves you and God loves you or
he to never put Jesus on thecross.
That's all I want you to believeyou say, well, you don't know
what I've been through with thissickness.

(01:50:08):
Listen, this sickness is not themeasuring stick of God's love.
The cross is don't get thatmixed up ever.
Don't let your seccircumstances.
Challenge.
God's love.
Let his love be settled throughthe cross.
So you'll never be rooted andgrounded.
Don't give life the ability totalk yourself out of believing.
He loves you.
The cross says he does.

(01:50:28):
So I want you to do is believehe loves you.
The people praying.
All I want you to do issomething like this in a second
or two here.
Just something like this.
Be made whole in Jesus name.
No more symptoms of weakness orsickness in Jesus name be whole.
That's all I want you to doright now.
Believe that over him.
Just speak that right now inJesus name.
Be whole in Jesus name.
No more sickness.

(01:50:49):
No more symptoms.
Oh, here we go.
This condition never returnedreturn in the authority of Jesus
name because you love himfather.
Amen.
Amen.
Okay.
Now you say that's too simple.
No, you watch.
We're gonna let time tell onthis one, cuz nobody really
knows right?

(01:51:10):
Because of the situation, butwe're gonna let time tell and
you're gonna see when you leavehere tonight.
Wow.
Thank you for what you're doingin my body.
Thank you God that you're movingin my life, man.
I'm believing that.
Thank you.
That this thing will neverreturn.
Go ahead.
And don't be afraid to agreewith what we believe.
Amen.
Grab your seats real quick.
We're gonna do one more thingand this is the, this is to me,
the funnest one.
So if we just prayed for peoplethat wouldn't know if they're

(01:51:32):
healed, who's the next group.

Speaker 8 (01:51:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:51:35):
They will know.
Right.
Okay.
So that doesn't put the preacherunder pressure, cuz I can't
produce a thing.
I can just believe a thing andyou can just believe a thing.
So it's never about failing.
It's always about believing boy.
I wish we would just get that.
Let's stop taking this thing sopersonal that we're afraid to
step out because of what mightnot.
When we're closing the door towhat might are you with me?

(01:52:00):
And besides we're in a churchservice, are you kidding?
We're like this should be theeasiest setting like Christians.
We should know that we have oneresponse.
Thank you for loving me.
Thanks for what you're doing inmy life.
Thanks you for what you're doingin my body.
Right?
So if you have sickness in yourbody, a condition in your body,
if you have an eye that youcan't see out of or two eyes,

(01:52:20):
you have a ear or two ears thatyou can't hear out of.
Anything, anything in your life,that's less than wholeness.
You got to stuff, you can't liftyour arm.
You can't, your knees are likereally bad and you can't just go
up steps without a lot ofinconvenience and they're
degenerate and, and, and Ichallenge you and they don't say

(01:52:42):
well it's cuz I worked hard fora lot of years.
I know what we're trying to say.
But listen, Jesus is bigger thanall those scenarios.
And there's no place wherescripture doesn't cover your
life period.
Are you with me?
Yeah.
You got some less thanwholeness.
And if you were healed tonightwithout exaggeration, cuz we

(01:53:03):
don't want you to exaggerate.
That's called lying.
revelations.
19 says you lie, you fry.
I don't want any fryers here.
this is not a deep fryertonight.
This is an atmosphere forhealing, not frying.
I'm just having fun with y'all.
If you would, if you would checkyour body, you would know you

(01:53:23):
were healed.
Any situation like that.
No matter what it is, I need youto stand to your feet.
Please don't stay in your chair.
Some people are afraid to standsometimes cuz they say I'm gonna
feel so bad if I'm not healed orI'm gonna feel bad for the
person that prayed for me.
Don't you do that?
Stand to your feet.
Okay?
Stand to your feet.
If we're waiting on everybodythat needs prayer, that if you

(01:53:46):
were healed, you would know itand you could check it and it's
something in your body.
That's right now it's a rightnow thing.
You won't have to wait tilltomorrow.
You'd be able to check it rightnow.
We got everybody.
We good?
Thank you buddy.
How you been?
You.
Okay.
Good.
Good seeing you.
We got everybody.

(01:54:08):
I feel like somebody's holdingout.
It might be more than one.
Might be a couple people in that.
The knee thing I shared thatyour knees aren't aren't right?
Like if you walked upstairs,you'd be hurting in your knees
and it would bother you.
And, and if you would come uphere and run up and down these
stairs a little, you'd be ableto feel it in your knees.
If, if that's you, I need you tostand.
Is that where you stood?
You're going for probably thefirst to go, man.

(01:54:29):
I'm telling you is thatwhy you stood?
Did you stand because of thattoo?
That last little word.
Wow, good.
Did anybody else stand becauseof the little knee thing?
Cuz I was hearing it was atleast like two people.
Okay, good.
Good.
Thanks for standing.
Oh, you already were up though.
You were already up and standing.
These guys were holding out.
We had to fish for them.
Yeah.
There's one more personI'm gonna call out.

(01:54:55):
I don't think I'm gonna hearanything else.
I think this is the last thing,but I believe you're here.
I wouldn't take the time withit.
You feel, you feel, you don'teven know what it is.
You're concerned about itthough.
And it's been happening for alittle while.
You're real weak right now inyour body.
You have a weakness that'sun-normal to your everyday life,
but it's been there for a whileand you just feel drained and
weak.
Even as you sit in your seat, isthat you okay?

(01:55:17):
Got a couple people to standback here.
But man, when you stood down myheart jumped.
That was good.
I feel like God's called peopleout there now.
Now watch the love of God.
Watch did we already have plentyof people to pray for?
Could we already made a ministryof this thing, But I'm listening
to my heart and I'm not in ahurry cuz I know the love of
God.

(01:55:38):
And if one little girl stands upand that concern, cuz it's been
concerning you you're wonderingwhat it is and your mind wants
to go.
Right?
Yeah.
Isn't it awesome that Idescribed that and saw that.
So I, I got quiet and that'swhat I heard in my heart.
Boom.
And she jumped right up and, andtwo other people jumped up

(01:55:58):
behind her.
But when she jumped up I knewshe was the one I was directly
talking to.
Isn't that?
Cool.
Yay.
so why did we do that?
Where did that information comefrom?
How do I know that?
Why would the Lord hold up?
The thing that we're doing andshow me that if this wasn't

(01:56:18):
real.
Yeah.
Cool.
You get it.
okay.
Now here's what you didn't know.
The people sitting, this wasn'ta trick.
It wasn't a trap.
You're gonna be my prayer teamand I want you to participate.
And if you're really, reallydead set against it, I'm gonna
say challenge that.
And I wish you'd get up.
But if you won't get up, we'renot gonna judge you and be mad

(01:56:40):
at you.
And if you said, well, I neverdid this before.
Then I really want you on myteam because you're not gonna be
self confident and you're notgonna get in the way you're
gonna be fear and trembling andyou're gonna trust Jesus or it's
him or broke.
Right?
So I actually want you on myteam.
If you're uncomfortable, thatwould be great to put you on the
roster.
So here's what I need quick.
Don't anybody pray yet?

(01:57:01):
I just want you to connect thepeople standing, put your hand
up so we don't lose you in thecrowd.
Keep your hand up until someoneclaims you when you're claimed,
put your hand down immediately.
So we know who else to get.
I want one on one.
The people sitting go findsomebody have fun with it.
Don't pray yet.
Just claim I'm say, Hey, you'remine say, Hey, I'm gonna pray

(01:57:23):
for you.
You wanna really have fun.
Say, Hey, I never did thisbefore.
Or you could tell'em Iprayed for 10 people and nothing
ever happened.
I'm picking you.
go find your person.
Come on.
I think we can cover everybody.
I think we had about enoughsitting to cover.

(01:57:43):
Everybody's standing.
I want one on one.
If you're doubled up, go findsomebody with a hand.
I still got, I got a guy doubleover here, but I got two hands
over here.
Do I have anybody elseavailable?
Oh good.
Thanks for helping.
Yeah, you don't have to doubleup.
I got people coming.
Is there anybody unaccounted foranybody that's unaccounted for?

(01:58:06):
There's a man in the middle withhis hand raised brother with a
beard.
Can you oh, okay.
I don't mind.
The lady can go through there.
The young girl can get throughthere.
He grabbed the man.
That's right.
He needed somebody.
You she's coming in to get youbuddy.
Jesus is on the way in her.
Amen.
Look at her.
You can't tell me Jesus.
Ain't in her.

(01:58:28):
Does everybody have somebody tostand with ya?
Okay.
Let's let's move along and dothis just a little after nine.
We're not doing terrible.
Take three seconds and ask'em.
Why did you stand?
So you know what?
You're praying, praying for.
Don't pray yet.
Just three seconds.
Don't give him a life story.
Just, you know, herniated, disctore, rotator cuff arthritis in
my knees, whatever.

(01:58:49):
Just give him the three secondversion.
You got it.
Everybody should have it.
Y'all got it.
All right.
You're good.
You guys are good.
Bring it down.
Tone it down.
Now we're gonna move forward anddo this together.
This is a safe environment, man.
And you notice I didn't as goodas the worship team is.
I didn't bring up no music.

(01:59:10):
We're not gonna, this is notabout atmosphere.
This is about just simple truth.
It's about God loving us throughhis son and paying a price for
redemption and healing.
So I actually felt like a longtime ago.
The Lord told me to do it thisway to teach people and make the
room as dry as I can.
Cause we're so into atmosphere.
And wonder if the atmosphere isthe kingdom of God knits at

(01:59:31):
hand.
Wonder if it's in you?
Yeah.
Wonder if you don't have aworship team on a wagon, pulling
them through Walmart parkinglot.
Wonder if you just have you inthe atmosphere at Walmart?
Yeah.
So you ready?
You know what you're praying foryou.
You got it.
Right?
So here's what we're gonna do.

(01:59:52):
I'm literally only gonna giveyou like six seconds to pray.
That's for your sake.
It's cuz I'm a friend.
it's the truth becausewe get self-conscious when we
pray and we it's because we'resincere, we're trying hard, but
we're more focused on what we'resaying and praying.
And we think it's our prayerthat heals.
It's not our prayer.
It's his finished work.
So watch this nobody's prayerhas ever healed the sick.

(02:00:15):
Yeah.
It's their faith in what he did.
And all glory goes to him and wejust get to Stewart that truth
on the, on the earth.
Isn't that amazing.
So there's no pressure.
So you can't fail.
You just believe the rightthing.
Now here's what I want you todo.
We're gonna take six seconds andpray.
And then I'm gonna say, okayguys, wind it down.
When I say wind it down.

(02:00:35):
I'm talking in the next coupleseconds.
You just bring it to a close inthe name of Jesus.
Thank you father.
For your love.
Just finish finishing the nameof Jesus, but okay.
Say they said, I just havearthritis in my joints.
My elbows are really bad in myknees.
Arthritis.
You leave all pain.

Thank you for your love.
Who knows?
You can do that in six seconds.

(02:00:55):
Why am I telling you to praythat way?
Matthew 17, if you have faith,you'll say to the mountain move
and what will the mountain do?
It'll move the, just live byfaith.
Amen.
All things are possible to themthat believe so we're believers
tonight.
We're involved.
We're active and you might notunderstand how much Jesus likes

(02:01:16):
this right here.
Yeah.
You'll see in a minute.
Yeah.
Like can you tell I'm under nopressure.
Yeah.
And I'm not gonna pray over top.
You I'm gonna let you pray withyour person.
I know you don't believe this.
I'm gonna actually stay quietfor six seconds.
it's gonna be a miracle.
I'm not gonna prayovertop you just gonna let you

(02:01:38):
pray with your person.
If they're rotator cuffs towardrotator cuff, you be healed
shoulder.
You move freely in Jesus namewho knows?
Six seconds.
You can do that after we're donepraying.
I want you to take your time.
I'm gonna say wind it down.
And, and, and when you're beingprayed for, I just want you to
know he loves you or he'd neversent his son.

(02:01:59):
That's I want you to thinkabout, don't be like,

Speaker 9 (02:02:02):

Speaker 2 (02:02:04):
Don't do that.
I've seen, I've been around us along time and I know how we are.
And we mean well, but we thinkthat's receiving like Just chill
tonight to say, wow, if youdidn't love me, you'd never sent
your son.
Thanks for what you're doing inmy body.
Let the person pray for you.
Don't pray with'em.
Don't just, just don't evenpray.
Just let them pray over youafter they stop and say amen,

(02:02:27):
and I'll wrap you all up andsay, wind it down and you're
take your time and check yourbody.
Whatever that means for you.
Sometimes people get healed.
They just know it immediatelybecause they have like a
fibromyalgia symptom and it justbleep or they'll have sciatic
and poop going.
They'll have something that's soobvious and you're just boo
going.
And they'll know.

(02:02:47):
So if you know, you know, butmake sure you know, is what I'm
saying.
Take your time, check it.
Do what's necessary.
Some of you've lived protected.
You know what I mean?
And you don't do certain thingscuz it's real slow.
Just check it.
It's not a calst you just checkit and grace will let you know
and check it when you knowyou're healed.
Make sure I know that you'rehealed and go like this.

(02:03:09):
Okay.
When you know you're healed, golike this.
Now listen already.
Did your body already change?
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:03:17):
List it up.

Speaker 2 (02:03:18):
Really?
That's really something.
Remember?
I said you have no idea how muchJesus likes this.
Maybe.
Yeah.
What'd you stand up for sorethroat.
So it just went away.
How bad was it?
Just miserable?
Just kind of no, just, just,just moderate.
Yeah, but just miserable.
Just like distracting.

(02:03:39):
Soon as you stood, it was gone.
You'd been swelling.
It's not there at all.
Right.
Wow.
It's good.

Speaker 9 (02:03:45):
You still gonna pray

Speaker 2 (02:03:46):
For no that's good.
Is that your husband?
Jesus.
No, just kidding.
She said I was gonna call firedown.
this is my opportunityfire.

Speaker 9 (02:04:06):

Speaker 2 (02:04:08):
It'll never be the same.
No, that's just sweet.
That's just the little kiss onthe cheek for us.
That's just, Jesus is here.
I mean you watch and see what hedoes in these six seconds.
It's fun.
And it's because we're allparticipating in dare believing
at some level.
Like just think when you stoodup, there's a level of faith in
that when the person stood upwith you, there's a level of
faith.
No matter how nervous they wereand no matter how unsure you

(02:04:31):
were here we are.
Right.
So when you know you're healed,go like this.
Now watch if you check your bodyand it seems the same.
Do not disconnect.
Don't run your mind.
What am I doing wrong?
See, I said, I'd never stand upagain in one of these services,
cuz nothing ever changes.
There's gotta be somethingblocking my healing.
And I don't know why stop.

(02:04:53):
Like no night is a good nightfor that.
yeah.
Tonight is definitely not thegood night for that.
I just want you to stay in aplace of thankfulness while God
I know that you love me.
You never sent your son.
Listen to a couple testimonies.
And after they share theirtestimony just between you and
Jesus and your body, checkyourself again in a thankful

(02:05:14):
heart and thank him.
He's a healer.
Wow.
That's amazing what you did inher.
Wow.
That's so awesome.
God, and you check your bodyagain and I'm telling you don't
disconnect and like popcorn.
We'll see things changing as wedon't change our mind.
Yeah.
All right.
Yes.
If you feel somewhat changed andyou don't wanna raise your hand

(02:05:34):
cuz it's 60%, 80%.
Not all the way.
Cause I want you, when you knowyou're healed.
I want you to raise your hand.
If you're 60, 70, 80, just tapyour person and say, Hey, I'm
like 60% healed.
You ought to be excited.
Don't don't say, I wonder whyI'm walking in a 60% anointing.
Say, wow, that'samazing, man.

(02:05:55):
I'm gonna pray one more time.
Okay.
And let's just thank God, God,thank you for what you're doing.
And man, I know you're afinished work and I just thank
you.
Complete wholeness in Jesus nameand get'em to check it again.
I've been on the streets andI've prayed for people 2, 3, 4,
5 times.
And they keep getting better.
I've never had anybody on thestreets say, no, you can stop.
Now if they know they're gettingbetter, they're like bring it on

(02:06:16):

She's back there crying.
I want to hear what happened toher.
That's just fun, man.
See when you know your own bodyand you know, you change, you
can't, you can't make youremotions.
Right?
You get overwhelmed.
Sometimes when the reality ofthese things hit you, what's

(02:08:27):
going on back there.
They're bringing you amicrophone.
Don't be afraid of it.

Speaker 10 (02:08:32):
My knees were just bone to bone bone for the last
three years.

Speaker 2 (02:08:36):
Y'all hear that bone on bone knees.
Go

Speaker 10 (02:08:39):
Ahead.
So then I, that gives me areally bad back gate.
Okay.
And everything is gone.

Speaker 2 (02:08:48):
What about, what about your knees?
They're okay.
Are you bending them and youfeel good?
How easy would've been to findpain in your knees?
Like a half a second.
Oh yeah.
Do you hear her emotion?
Oh yeah.
She's lived with this for howlong?
Three years.
You have no trace of nothing inyour body.

(02:09:12):
Jesus.
Yeah.
See that's why she's crying.
Come on.
She lived with that for threeyears.
She knows what her body feelslike and all of a sudden boom
and the cynic would say, wellit's just emotion.
She just wants to believe she'shealed.
So she believes she's healed andno don't she sell Jesus that
cheap.

(02:09:32):
Yeah.
By

Speaker 4 (02:09:33):
Is gone.
The ringing in both layer

Speaker 2 (02:09:35):
Is that tonight is completely gone.
That's a big deal.
Was it pretty extreme?
It was loud.
Yeah.
Going, ah, Jesus.
Who else knows your heel?
Who else waved their hand, sir.

Speaker 4 (02:09:51):
There was a cyst behind my knee that was keeping
me from motion.
And now it feels like warmwater.
Just rolling down my side

Speaker 2 (02:10:00):
and you're bending it and it ain't there.
Ah, come on.
You see why I wasn't underpressure?
Cuz I can't produce anything.
He's just this way.
Jesus is like this now watch.
It's not.
Cause we prayed so powerful andso right.
We kept this so simple.

(02:10:20):
There's not even music playing we just believe he's
this way.
And some of us in our ownnervousness who, who
participated in you, weren't allthat confident.
But you participated cuz you'rehere and you stepped out because
of the atmosphere and you saidI'm just gonna get involved.
Yeah.
Good.
Thanks for being honest and lookwhat he does.

Speaker 11 (02:10:41):
Yeah,

Speaker 2 (02:10:42):
What's up.

Speaker 12 (02:10:44):
Well, the first time that she prayed, I didn't really
feel it.
It felt like I was 50, 60%.
Then she prayed again and, anduh, completely it's gone.

Speaker 2 (02:10:52):
What was it?
What was it going on?

Speaker 12 (02:10:53):
I had a little kink when I had an accident years
ago.
Okay.
And smashing my knee.
I've got wires in andeverything.
I can still feel the wires init, but when I was going down it
would crackle and I, now itdoesn't

Speaker 2 (02:11:03):
Do.
Yeah.
It would impair you.
So you don't feel limited likeyou were and you feel like you
have strength and motion.
That was not there.

Speaker 12 (02:11:09):
Yeah, it was.
There's always a kink.
When I was like this far downkinda

Speaker 2 (02:11:13):
Kink between who prayed for you?
This lady right here.
She can believe for this.
We're gonna take the mic andpass around.
Take your time.
Pray that any effect, can youfeel the wires with your hands?
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Okay.
Just pray that that even changed.

Speaker 13 (02:11:25):
I pray the wires disappear in Jesus' name.
I pray that your wholeness comesthrough the power of the holy
spirit.
Not me.

Speaker 2 (02:11:31):
Amen.
Give him the mic.
No.
I want you to lay your handright on his knee.
Give him the mic.
He's gonna take a couple moretestimonies.
Just pray between you and himand Jesus.
I want you to lay your handright on the, where the, the
knee is and just pray that theevidence of those wires would
disappear.
I had a lady in a service.
She went back to North Carolinato the doctor that did the
surgery.
Cuz she had no feeling of screwsor anything.

(02:11:53):
He did the x-ray.
He personally put the screws in.
None of them were on the x-ray.
None of them you say, well, Idon't believe that.
No, I understand.
There's a lot of unbelief in thechurch, but that's what
happened.

Speaker 11 (02:12:08):
Prayed for my eyesight.
I can see the clock is at nine17 right now.
And I can see the second hand,which I couldn't even see
before.
I couldn't see the clock before

Speaker 2 (02:12:18):
And oh my goodness, sir.
That's what I wanted to just askyou.
Okay.
So we can appreciate this beforethey prayed, before they prayed,
what would you have seen?

Speaker 11 (02:12:27):
I wouldn't have been able to tell what time it was.

Speaker 2 (02:12:29):
Okay.
You'd have just been able to seethat.
That was probably a clock.
Yeah mm-hmm wouldyou have even been able to see
the outline of the numbers orthe hands or?

Speaker 11 (02:12:36):
I wouldn't be able to tell which number it was on
or anything like that.
Okay.

Um, I still have just a littlebit of trembling in my body.

(02:15:54):
Okay.
But other than that,

Speaker 2 (02:15:55):
I feel does it, you mean trembling that's associated
with what you've beenexperiencing or is it just the
atmosphere and being touched?

We'll take you yet.

Speaker 19 (02:21:48):
Um, so I still feel some pain, but it's like a, it's
like a smooth, I just feel likea smooth, you

Speaker 2 (02:21:55):
Just know something is changing in

Speaker 19 (02:21:57):
Your body and the word you gave that woman over
there.
God's like, baby girl, that'sfor you too.
So I received that.
Yeah.
So I'm, I'm not complete.
I made whole in my heart.
He's he's talking about theheart condition too.
Not just a physical, physicalcondition, but he is soothing
healing in my heart and in mybody.
And it's just really smooth andbeautiful.
It's just gentle.

Speaker 2 (02:22:15):
No, that's beautiful.
Listen, if you, yeah, thank you,Lord.
If you were prayed for a nightand you're not all the way there
right now, or you didn't feelyour body changed, like you
were, were hoping and believingdo not do not leave here with
any other thought then.
Wow.
Thank you for loving me.
Thank you for what you're doingin me.
I so appreciate you making mewhole go to bed that way.

(02:22:38):
Wake up, check your body.
You live that way.
Does that make sense?
Amen.
Amen.
Can we do something?
I know we might not all be onthe same page of this, but I
feel, I, I feel this in my heartand I feel like it would be a
humble thing.
It doesn't mean you'recharismatic or Pentecostal.
It just means you're yielding tohim.
Can we lift our hands before theLord?
Like the Bible says holy handsto the Lord and just yield to

(02:23:01):
him.
And as you're doing that, juststart thanking him in your heart
for teaching, for healing, fordemonstrating, for just being
who he is.
Would you begin with your handsraised just to personally talk
to him for, uh, just a, just afew seconds of just that you're
thankful for something forsomething.
Go ahead.
Yield to him.
This is what clay does.
It just yields.
So father, we just hands raisedbefore you.

(02:23:21):
We thank you for this night.
We thank you for revelation.
Understanding, continue to burnin our hearts with truth,
continue to give truth allweekend long.
I would ask Lord, did you onlyspeak through me what you want
to be said and what you wouldsay if pastor Robert gave you a
mic and we thank you.
How about it guys?
For all the healings and all thethings you're doing in our

(02:23:41):
midst.
And here's what I'm gonna askwith hands raised that God, you
just let this be a beginning ofgreat things to come, and I'm
just gonna declare this.
I wouldn't be afraid to say asif it would be almost like a
prophecy form, but I don't wantfreak people out that, but I
I've declared that this is thebeginning of great things to
come.

(02:24:01):
That God begin to move andrestore and heal in our lives.
As we step out and keepbelieving and give him
opportunity.
I feel like we have barelyscratched the surface of what's
right in front of us.
So we're gonna continue on notgrow weary and well doing.
And we're gonna reap becausewe're not gonna lose heart in
Jesus name.
Amen.

(02:24:23):
Amen.
Love you.
Thank you.
What time tomorrow?
