Episode Transcript

(00:01):
It's again a blessing to be ableto come to you today, But we're
actually coming with a heavy heart becauseso much is happening around us, so
much is going on in our world, that I just can't understand how we
can be preaching the gospel. JesusChrist came and died on the cross sacrificially

(00:25):
that we might be able to operatein the kind of spirit of sacrifice and
the spirit of love. And yetstill we're living in a time when with
all the preaching, with all theteaching, with everybody declaring the Word of
God, how is it that wecan have so much hatred, so much

(00:46):
malice, so much prejudice, somuch bigotry. How is it that with
all of our preaching and teaching andthe voices of the church are not unified
in the presentation of what should bejustice, what should be mercy, what
should be holy and holistic and proper. From a social viewpoint, it seems

(01:07):
as if we have thrown up ourhands and we've decided to allow ourselves to
do just anything we want to do. So it's just a very sad time
today when you consider the fellows who, in just the normal operation of life,
just because they're black. They arecompletely decimated and treated like inferiors people

(01:33):
and citizens and treated like animals,and even worse than animals because we protect
animals. So my heart is heavytoday. And then to add even further,
we lost one of the most beautifulpeople you had ever meet in your
life. I would like to prayfor sister Beverly Tomlinson German. I'd like

(01:59):
to pray for her and her familyand Elder Lamar German's family that God would
just comfort them in this time.It was not the coronas that didn't take
him out. He'd just been sick, and God has gave him happiness,
gave him happiness with one wonderful andbeautiful lady that he married to for just

(02:27):
a few years. I could evensay a few months really. But we
just want to pray that God wouldmove in a very special way upon us
today and and just bless us inevery way he can, because we're in
a troubled time. And when hesaid pray for our governments, he meant

(02:49):
it pray for the time in whichwe lived. The administrators I would lead
us on every level that we mightfind justice in this country and peace and
serenity, tranquility, that we mightlive with each other in love. Heavenly
Father, we come in the nameof Jesus, and as we approach your
throne, we thank you for theprivilege you have given us. And our

(03:13):
hearts are heavy, as you know, because the Holy Spirit dwells in us,
and you feel what we feel.Right now. We pray for the
German family. Yes, we askyou to comfort Beverly in such a way
that your spirit will move upon herand give her peace. We thank you
because she gave him, in thelast days of his life, the happiness

(03:38):
that he had been searching for.And we thank you for bringing them together
and for the love that she exhibitedtowards him and the love he had for
her. And we pray now fortheir family, and for the Church family,
for the Ministerial Association, that thecity of Refuge, that the comfort
will be extended to all of usbecause of the brilliance and the greatness of

(04:01):
this man. We pray now forthe families surrounding the Aubreyes and the family
surrounding the Floyds, for the circumstanceand situation that we have to go through
again and again, and we askyou, Lord, that you might step
in and touch everybody. We prayfor the whole pandemic and going to one

(04:26):
hundred thousand deaths. We ask youto stay the hand of the death Angel
in this matter and give us thewisdom to operate as we should. And
we ask it all in that wonderful, mighty name of Jesus. It is
imperative for you. Now, well, I'm saying imperative, but I'm just

(04:47):
requesting that you have a watch partyof your own on Facebook and tell everybody
that we're on and that we haveI believe a word from the Lord.
I don't always say that, becausemany times we make a declaration that is

(05:08):
really out of our own thinking,but the spirit of the Lord says differently.
Now, I want to again reiterateto all of my pastors and all
of my leaders, because it seemsas if we have a disconnect when it
comes to the Bible as we understandthe God of the natural, God of

(05:28):
the supernatural. I'm looking for myglasses. I can't find them. I've
been locked up in the house.The glasses are in the house, and
I don't know why I can't findsomething that's in a house that I live
in and I haven't taken them out, but anyway, I wear glasses.
I don't expect, with the technologythat God has given through the consistency of

(05:50):
his natural laws, that optomology isable to be performed simply because it's out
here and God is the one whodeclares this. We're listening to science and
we're understanding that there are certain limitations, and sometimes we get tied away with
petty things, as if we don'tunderstand how essential it is for people to

(06:15):
be alive. We don't minister todead people. We minister to people who
are alive, and the natural lawsoperate within the parameters of our relationship with
God. So yes, we wantto be back together in church, but
it won't be the same. You'regonna have people sitting separately from each other

(06:36):
and nobody can touch, nobody canhug. There is no holy kiss.
There is nothing but separation. Solet's wait until things are safe enough for
us to function and operate. Youcan't have a choir behind it. You're
separated further from the people in thepulpit then they are sitting in the pews.

(07:00):
So my brothers, my leaders,my pastors, let's vie on the
side of life, on the sideof life, and let's be very careful
for the members that God has putunder our care and in our trust.
I want to say that because weare rushing and moving to go back,
and we can't politicize this. Ithas to be done in favor and for

(07:26):
the benefit of the people of God. We have to understand again too,
that there's a lot of mental situationsthat are happening now. People are slipping
psychologically and mentally, and they needcare, and they need care that's beyond
my pay grade and my ability tohandle. And that's why God has put

(07:48):
people out there who are Christian counselors, people who operate out of the biblical
point of view to touch people's lives. And so that's where we are today.
We have to pray that we don'trush back in the name of God.
We've done so much in the nameof God at the expense of the

(08:11):
health of the people that we serve. And so that's my word to you.
Before we go any further again.Now we're going to talk about reopening,
but we're going to continue the offonline virtual service until further notice.
And then I'm going to prepare theCity of Refuge for the way that we're
going back. I have it outlined. I have a committee. I'm going

(08:35):
to have health officials. I'm goingto have nurses and doctors from the city
on the committee. I'm going tohave people who are sensitive to the people
of God on that committee so thatwhen we go, we go back properly.
I'm praying for all black males.I'm praying for black males, not

(08:56):
simply because of the police, theirbehavior, and because our justice system fails
horribly when it comes to dealing withmy brothers in the flesh, my black
brothers. But I'm not only prayingfor black males because of police brutality and

(09:20):
because our social environment and our justicesystem is laying flat on its face.
I'm telling you at the end ofthe day that we need to take the
blindfold off that lady, because thatlady is looking around and is extremely prejudiced,
because she's being motivated and moved bya dominant culture that does understand that

(09:45):
you cannot be stronger than the weakestlink in your community. And when I'm
praying for black males as we movein and out and around my sons,
my grandsons, your sons, yourgrandsons who are black and need my white
evangelical brothers and my white evangelical sisters. Instead of lauding and praising the system,

(10:07):
get back into your Bible and practicelove and understand that all men are
created equal by God, and Heloves each one of us and regardless of
color and creed, and that theHoly Spirit is the single greatest unifier in
the world. And if you havethe Holy Spirit, then you're a part

(10:28):
of the Body of Christ as Iam. And that means we love one
another. By this, shall allmen know that you are My disciples,
by your love, one for theother. And that's why we embrace people
of different races and colors and creeds. Because God came for God's soul loved
the world, not just a particularrace. He loved the world. And

(10:54):
for too long, dominant cultures haveused religion and the name of Jesus to
enslave and break people down and tokeep them oppressed. And God is not
with that. He's not for that. And I'm questioning the salvation of some
people who can only speak up forcertain things that suit them, but not

(11:16):
speak up for everybody. Across theworld. And I shouldn't have to be
declaring this my white brothers in Christwho have black folks sitting in their churches
all over their churches, some ofthe churches are dominantly black, predominantly black

(11:37):
with white pastors, where black peoplein church can't be on the board,
can't operate in the office, can'toperate visually in these churches. And if
God has moved us to love,then you should love and you should love
us as we love you, andwe forgive everything, and yet still were

(12:00):
forgiving a group of people who don'twant and don't act like they are in
the same Christian vain that we arein. And this is problematic. Somebody
ought to speak up and declare,you're killing my member's children, people who
I want to be saved. Idon't want them shocked before they're saved.

(12:22):
I don't want them killed in thestreet. I don't want people kneeling in
their necks. I don't want peoplekilling people who are jogging in neighborhoods.
But I'm also praying for those ofus who are killing each other. So
it's not just white black, it'sblack on black, and it's all because
we're psychologically debilitated because we're made tofeel like we're less than anybody else.

(12:46):
And I'm saying to my black brothers, anytime you kill a brother, you're
committing suicide. It ain't homicide,it's suicide. And so now we've got
to come to a grip for thepandemic. Then we gotta deal with the
white police killing our boys. Thenwe gotta deal with black on black crime.

(13:07):
Now we gotta deal with increased suicides. Now we gotta deal with more
family abuse inside. And we've beenpreaching for years and years, two thousand
years plus since Jesus has left theearth and left us with salvation. And
we're in a Christian country. Christianbecause it's not Hindu, because it's not

(13:28):
Muslim, because it's not Buddhists,Christian because it is incomparable religions different from
the others. But it's not Christianbecause it follows the tenets and edicts and
maxims of the Word of God.And so we're living in a country that

(13:48):
is pseudo Christian, having a formof God that's denying the power they're up.
That's why everybody wants to rush thechurch so we can hide in sanctuary
without windows, and we can haveour little exclusive clubs and be segregated on
Sunday and then come out in theworld and kill one another, not have

(14:09):
any kind of discipline towards each other, love towards each other. And where
there is no love, there oughtto be laws, and we have no
love and we don't follow the laws. So yes, I'm upset today because
this is a day that we shouldbe extolling the virtues of Jesus Christ as

(14:31):
Christians in America. White and blackmakes no difference. I love my white
brothers. I wish they love usthe way we love them. I wish
that they would operate in justice,just justice, because that's what God's called
for. He told Israel, judges, don't be afraid of their faces.

(14:52):
Do your judgment. You can't politicizejudgment and justice. It's for all of
us. And go back to yourown constitution and remember what it said and
follow it if you will. Becausewhen you left the feudal system, you
came to America and you put togethera document that would express the pain of

(15:15):
what you came out of and atthe same time express how we should live
going forward. You had the document, yet still you wasted the Indians all
at the same time and just completelydestroyed them. And then finally you came
up with all men are created equal. Now, come on, you brought
slaves into the world here, andfor four hundred years you kept a group

(15:39):
of people suppressed and depressed and oppressed. And now you have the opportunity,
under the banner of Jesus Christ toshow love to everybody that comes an equality
and justice to everybody. So openyour mouth and stand up for what is
right. For the God we servethat we're all connected through the Holy Spirit.

(16:03):
And I just believe some folks aren'tconnected period. It's just coming out
of their mouths. But there hasto be genuine love. God didn't tell
me to tolerate my white brother andmy white sisters. He told me to
love them. But now everybody's operatingunder the banner of division, and it's
coming from the top all the waydown. So now we're seeing in America

(16:27):
based on leadership, just the conditionof the people that we've been dealing with
every day. I should not beget in my car and have to worry
about a policeman stopping me, handcuffingme, and then kneeling in my neck
until I die? Where is thehumanity? And people kneeling all over this

(16:48):
brother until he is dead? Ican't breathe. Policemen are supposed to protect
and serve the military arm of apresidential situation that is divisive, and they're
not a military arm of Nazis.Nazis killed more Americans than any other group

(17:12):
in the whole wide world. InWorld War Two. We were fighting Nazis.
We sank folk across the water tofight Nazis. Memorial Day we celebrated
men who died fighting Nazis. Andall of a sudden, now we've got
a country full of neo Nazism anda military arm called police that now is

(17:34):
acting as if they were the extensionof Nazism and racial disorder and hatred.
We've got to stop it, andsomebody's gotta cry aloud, all right.
The graduating class of twenty twenty,What a change? What a switch?

(17:56):
Thursday to twenty eight, at onepm Pacific stund the time, we will
feature the virtual graduation class of twentytwenty. I'm gonna give a little speech.
I'm gonna talk about commencement new beginnings, which is indicative of the fact
that you have conquered where you wereuntil you get to the place where you

(18:18):
can start again in a progressive situation. My granddaughter's going to Yale, and
I told her, I said,when people are leaving, I ask her
was she ready to leave home andto be away? And first she went
to being raised properly, so she'sready to go. And I said to
her, I said, okay,understand this. It's the people who are

(18:41):
left behind that feel the greater senseof abandonment or the greater sense of losing
somebody's presence. The person who isgoing out into new adventures and going to
new levels, that individual doesn't feelthe same intensity of loss of presence as

(19:06):
the one who is left behind,because the adventurers in front of them,
What am I going to become,what am I going to do? Is
right in front of them. Sothe one who's leaving going into new territories
don't have the same pain. Soshe's going to drop a tear, I
told her. And I told herI'm not going to cry at all.

(19:26):
I'm not crying, And of courseshe want to know why when I cry,
Because she's going to Yale and notgoing to jail. So I'm not
crying one bit, and I'm sayingto you graduating class, understand this.
You have left and a reader whereyou had to conquer and you had to
achieve, and now you're facing becauseof that achievement, another challenge where you're

(19:52):
going into achieve So commencement, newbeginnings, starting over in another re in
another high, not going back torepeat, but using what you have gained
on whatever level you are commencing from, use that to strengthen you, to
understand psychologically you are an achiever.So you're going forward. That's my speech.

(20:18):

California, nine zero two for eight. So I'm just gathering my thoughts
and getting my mind together, andI want to take you with me for

(22:12):
a little journey into Second Chronicles againchapter twenty. But right now I want
to read from verse chapter twenty thatSecond Chronicles twenty. I want to read
verse twenty one. And when hehad consulted with the people, he appointed

(22:33):
singers unto the Lord, and thatshould praise the beauty of holiness as they
went out before the army, andto say, praise the Lord for his
mercy in Doreth forever. And whenthey began to sing and to praise,
the Lord set ambushmen against the childrenof Ammon, Moab and Mount Seer,

(23:00):
which was come against Judah. Andthey were smitten, for the children of
Ammon and Moab stood up against theinhabitants of Mount Seyr utterly to slay and
destroy them. And when they hadmade an end of the inhabitants of Sea,
every one helped to destroy another.And when Judah came toward the watch

(23:21):
tower in the wilderness, they lookedinto the multitude and behold there were dead
bodies falling to the earth, andnone escaped. And when Jehosaphath andist people
came to take away the spoil ofthem, they found among them in abundance,
both riches with the dead bodies andprecious jewels, which they stripped off
for themselves, more than they couldcarry away. And they were three days

(23:45):
in gathering the spoil, it wasso much. And on the fourth day
did they assembled themselves in the valleyof Baraka, for there they bless the
Lord there are. Therefore the nameof the same place was called the valley

(24:07):
of barrakschops unto this day and theyreturned every man of Judah and Jerusalem Jahasaphat
in the forefront of them, togo again to Jerusalem with joy, for
the Lord had made them to rejoiceover their enemies. And they came to
Jerusalem with saltrees and harps and trumpetunto the House of the Lord. And

(24:30):
I'm glad I got through that withoutmy glasses. That was quite a challenge,
quite quite a work. The battleis not yours, The battle is
the Lord's. I want to approachthis. I don't know about the hermeneutics
totally and completely, but I wantto approach it in a manner that may

(24:52):
be a little avant God for thetheologian, for the one the one who
understand how to spostulate the scripture.And I want to go back to jay
hazy L because if you understand thechapter twenty, where Israel is facing an

(25:15):
enormous enemy, and when you're facingan enormous enemy, the call to prayer
and the call to assemble all ofIsrael is critical because you need the unity,
especially when you're the underdog, tobe able to defeat your enemy.

(25:42):
I'm saying that because I want toget you to understand definitely and absolutely that
there is no way to be theunderdog. There is no way to be

(26:02):
less than your enemy and defeat thatenemy while you're divided. There's absolutely no
way that you can defeat an enemywhen you're divided. And this is why
I go back to Jayzel, becauseit's Jazel who because of his prophetic ancestry,

(26:30):
because of his prophetic authenticity, whichis based on his ancestral resume.
Because if you notice in verse fourteen, then upon Jahesiel, the son of
Zachariah, the son of Beniah,the son of j I Elder, son

(26:52):
of Matthaniah, a levite of thesons of Asap, came the spirit of
the Lord in the midst of thecongregation. And it was he who told
them, hearken you Judah and theinhabitants of Jerusalem and vouching Jehasafat. Thus
saith the Lord until you be notafraid nor dismayed by reason of this great

(27:14):
multitude, For the battle is notyours but God's. Now. Notice I
had a problem when I saw Jehazeel, and according to the scriptures, the
son of Zacharier, the son ofBeniah, the son of Ji Elder,
son of Mattanaya, a Levite,the son of asap And I had a
problem because I said, why isthe chronicler giving me all of this data

(27:37):
on Jehaziel. But I understood nowthat he could be trusted for his prophetic
declaration because it was based on hisancestral resume. Jehasaphat had already had problems
with prophets, and we're living ina time now where we have to have

(27:57):
the authenticity of the prophetic word,particularly if we're going to operate outside of
a military operation, and that's whatJehosaphath had the faith. I need a
word from the Lord that's authentic.But in order to have an authentic word,
I need to check the resume ofthe one who's making the declaration.

(28:22):
That the battle is not mine,the battle is the Lord's. And I'm
going out there with a group ofminstrels and singers to face an enemy.
The mere fact that the prophetic wordis so absurd. I need to be
able to authenticate whoever is declaring theword. I think we've come to a

(28:48):
time now where we need to authenticatethe voices that we're listening to because we
are in serious trouble. If we'regoing to get through the time in which
we live, we're going to haveto get through it together. And that's
why in the absurdity of the declarationof leading with a group of choir members

(29:15):
and singing a group of songs againstan enemy who has all the equipment to
fight in a normal military way,we need to know this is really God.
I hear people talking about going backto church and the going back to
church being led by the Holy Spirit. Well, the Holy Spirit has always

(29:37):
moved us into the Word of Godand leads us into all truth. So
wherever there is truth, that's thefunction of the Holy Spirit. The Holy
Spirit does not operate against truth andbiblical truth. That's why you feed the
Spirit of God with the Word ofGod, and that's where your victory comes.

(30:00):
It doesn't come from subjective theological declarationwith no association to the Word of
God. It's got to be connected. I don't understand preachers, what are
you preaching. You don't preach simplyby leading. You preach through understanding the
Word of God. And that wordstands sure and the Spirit of God is

(30:22):
not separate from the Word of God. When he said let there be light.
Light came from the word. Theword its spirit that moves light to
come into being. So you can'tseparate the word from the spirit and operate
in the spirit. Separate from theword, it does not work. The
Spirit and the Word operate together tolead us into all truth. So let's

(30:48):
not be conformist. Let's be transformedinto the newness of life that is operating
through the power of the Holy Gooth. So prayer becomes a highlighted testimony of
his fathers as it relates to God. Jehasaphat had to go to prayer and
had to bring the people of Godinto a place where their togetherness was operated

(31:10):
in that sanctuary where God told themto go forward. So here is the
testimony. Art Thou not God inthe heaven, and rulest not Thou over
all the kingdoms of the heathens.And in Thine hand is there not power
and might, so that none isable to withstand thee So now here is

(31:33):
the declaration of Jesus to us,Thy will be done on earth as it
is in heaven. You have toextol the virtues of the power of the
God of the heavens, who wantshis rule to be exhibited on earth,
but His rule can only be exhibitedthrough the people who know His word,

(31:56):
know his principles, and operate withthe power of the only goes to unite
us, so that when we pray, we're not praying amiss or praying segregatedly,
or praying away from each other,but all of us are praying moved
by the same spirit. And thespirit of God in us as individuals expresses

(32:17):
itself by our love, one towardsthe other and one towards the other.
Love unites us against common enemies,and injustice is a common enemy. Treating
brothers with indignity, and treating thepeople around you as if they're peasants and
if they're not worth anything is acommon enemy to the Christian cause and to

(32:42):
the scriptural premise that we stand on. And we need to understand that Thy
will be done on earth. Itis not God's will for policemen to be
kneeling in His image, in peoplein his image and his likeness. It
is not you will for man tobe enslaving one another and hating each other.

(33:05):
It is not his will for folksto use the Bible as a means
of oppressing and taking other people's wealtharound the world. It is not his
will. And that's why I agreetotally and fully with the Unification Church and
with doctor Hakdahan Moon and the legacyof her husband, because they understand and

(33:28):
they have extolled the virtues of thewill being done on earth. And that's
why we join together with the peoplesof the world in the Christian environment,
with Christianity leading and Christianity leads andsays that we have to come together as
a group of people who are inthe image of God. It doesn't matter

(33:51):
the shape of your eyes or yournose, it doesn't matter the color of
your skin. They're black cadillacs,white cadillacs, red cadillacs, cadillacs,
but they're all Cadillacs, and theyall have the look of a Cadillac,
and all of us have the lookof human beings. One blood under the
earth. I can be traded.I can give a transfusion to a white

(34:12):
person. I can give a transfusionto somebody in Asia. I can give
a transfusion because the blood one blood, one blood. And it's critical to
understand this, and that's why me, as a black preacher, should not
be hollering this. My White brothersall are hollering. My Spanish brothers all

(34:32):
are hollering. My Asian brothers andsisters ought to be screaming why, Because
if we are those who are giventhe task of His will being done on
earth as it is in heaven,then we should be all in unison,
declaring that anything that is not just, anything that is not true, anything

(34:58):
that's not gentle, anything that it'snot patient, anything that does not have
long suffering, anything that's not merciful, anything that's not temperate, is not
of God, because that's what theKingdom of Heaven is, and that's what
He wants his will to be doneon earth. So the question now is
do we have the relationship with theelo Him in the text as creator,

(35:22):
sustainer and savior of his people.So when I look then at power power
here the Hebrew is strange and unusual. When I look at might, it's
the idea of being strong, achampion warrior, a champion warrior with unusual

(35:42):
powers. That's his prayer art,not Thou God in heaven. So the
children of God have to operate inthe same vein as their father, which
means then that God has given usthrough his word that unusual and strange kind
of power, and that same Godhas given us a champion warrior strength,

(36:08):
and that is we are champions forGod with unusual powers because the weapons of
our warfare, which somebody was withme, the weapons of our warfare are
not carnal. So it is herewhere the unity becomes critical, because we

(36:30):
have to join under the power ofGod which flows in each one of us
through the Holy Ghost, and thatgives us the unity that makes us a
champion warrior with unusual powers. Sowe don't come against the powers that be
with rebellion and fighting and cursing andgoing into some sort of revolution that means

(36:58):
killing and record and giving back theevil that we have received. That's not
what we do. What we dois we go with unusual powers that are
spiritually motivated, that are moved becauseof our unity. The problem with us
in the nominal visible church is thatthere is too much segregation and separation in

(37:24):
the visible church. But the realChurch of God is united to the power
of the Holy Ghost. And that'swhere the voices cry out into the world,
cry aloud and spare not. That'swhat the church has got to do
now, not only one group inthe body, but all of us in

(37:47):
the body need to make the samedeclaration for justice, for mercy, for
proper behavior, for dignity and decency, because we declare from a biblical standpoint
which undergirds the Magna carta, whichundergirds the Constitution. And if we are

(38:07):
Christian, then we ought to persuademen and women who have different attitudes in
our country, in our racial confines, in our space, we need to
convince them that the biblical and properway is to treat everybody as if they

(38:28):
were created by God, and theywere and they are, and that's how
we ought to operate. The unusualpowers are exhibited then in many battles which
totally defy conventional warfare tactics. Gideonhad the same thing, the issue of
confusion and the use of division.That's what happens when you want to defeat

(38:54):
an enemy, you use confusion andyou use Now here's what Satan is doing
to America. He is using confusion. And you got confusion when you don't
know what story to believe, youdon't know what tweat to believe, you

(39:15):
don't know what account to believe.That's confusion, then you have division.
And division is when one group speaksnegatively about another group or treats another group
negatively. So the group that's beingtreated negatively has to defend him or herself

(39:35):
against the individuals who are treating themnegatively. So now you've got oppressors and
those being oppressed, and you gotwar between them. And that is a
move of Satan, because Satan understandsthat anything divided cannot stand. Ah,

(39:57):
let's get into it now. Godis one. God is one, and
the number of unity. Where thereis no divisive element of any kind,
one one cannot be divided because that'san element that stands solely upon itself.

(40:19):
God is one. Even with therevelatory distinctions of the father, son,
and Holy ghost, he is stillone even with those distinctions. It is
the one God whose revelatory expression asfather, it's the same one God who

(40:39):
has a revelatory expression as son.It is the same one God who has
a revelatory expression of the Holy Ghost. I'm a father. I had a
father, so I'm a son,and I had a wife, so I
was a husband. But I'm stillone person. Yes, I exhibited qualities

(41:01):
of fatherhood. I express qualities ofbeing a son, and I certainly,
for twenty two years express the qualitiesof being a husband. But I'm still
no jokes one here, Oh Israel, the Lord, thy God is one

(41:25):
God. Now, this, ofcourse, is a place of profound simplicity,
in which neither duality or duplicity canbe found. Anywhere in God.
There is no duality, there isno duplicity, There is no changing Jesus

(41:49):
Christ the same yesterday, today,and forever. Nobody can operate their lives
in duplicity and duality because you don'tknow where you're going, you don't know
what to believe, you don't knowwhat to follow. Listen in my discussion,

(42:17):
and I think that now that I'mlocked away and I have these one
on one discussions with people, I'mbeginning to think, as I said to
my family the other night, everytime we get together and have a conversation,
we are to have a tape recordergoing. And I'm believing that one
of the reasons why we have somuch silence from the people who should be

(42:40):
verbal is because oftentimes people use yourpersonal imperfections to shut your mouth from telling
truth because you don't want to beinvestigated. All of us have secrets.

(43:02):
I got some that I wouldn't wantto publish, things that I had to
struggle through, and God over mistakesthat I made. But my personal mistakes,
my personal imperfection, does not eliminateme from being genuine. Should I

(43:23):
say that again? If you're genuine, you will admit to your personal imperfections
that you keep secret. Genuine iswhat we're looking for from the voices of
the people who declare they know God, from the leaders who declare they know

(43:44):
God and understand the oneness of God. Does not give room for duality or
duplicity. That does not have anythingto do with your personal imperfections that you're
striving every day to get over.In the middle of your imperfections, you
still ought to be genuine. Sela, I got a pause because we're living

(44:09):
in a time where we understand nobody'sperfect. I get up sometimes and I
play with the members of the Cityof Refuge, and I play and I
say to them, do you believeanybody's perfect? And they hollered, no,
you don't think I'm perfect? Andthey say no, can I tell

(44:29):
you my problems? No? Yousee, they know you're not perfect.
They don't want to know your problems. But at the end of the day,
everybody who's genuine will admit to notbeing perfect. But I cannot use
my imperfections as a means to shutmy mouth from being genuine and truthful.

(44:55):
Please, it is necessary for usto understand there is no duplicity and no
duality. It cannot exist in God. Time has no effect on it because
as an eternal being, changes andpolarity are impossible. With God, and

(45:19):
we are the children of God.The difference with us and He is that
we have imperfections. He is perfect. We have imperfections, but we ought
to be genuine. James puts itthis way, and I quote, and
if I miss a word or two, I don't have any glasses. Every
good gift and every perfect gift comesfrom above and come it down from the

(45:44):
Father of Lights, with whom it'sno variableness, neither shadow or turning.
There is not even a shadow whenhe turns. There's no dark side at
all. Why because there's no lightbrighter than him. In order to have
a shadow, you gotta have alight that comes against something that casts the

(46:07):
shadow. But there is no shadowbecause there is no light brighter. There's
no variable ness, because the totalconsistency of who He is. You and
I we rub things on our skinto make our skin sort of blend in

(46:28):
with the rest of the skin thatmight have been in the sun, and
so there are no lines. That'snot God. Everything about him is light,
Everything about Him is perfect and genuine. And there is no room for
it. The one writer said,and I quote ook Ev there is no
room for it negatives, not onlythe fact, but the possibility also unquote.

(46:54):
He is such an intense unit thatthere is no possibility of discord.
There is complete union. In therevelatory expressions of God. There is still
that total oneness. That's why whenwe come into him, he declares,

(47:15):
there is neither June nor Greek.Now understand that when you look at the
biblical attitude of the Jewish people,you will find that they were very segregated.
They were segregated because of their totalcombating oppression. They have always been

(47:35):
in the land where they had toagree with each other and hold on to
each other. And the time whenthey had the greatest amount of oppression was
during the time of judges, whereevery man did that which was right in
his own eyes. Their divisiveness inthe Book of Judges led them to be

(48:00):
completely and totally oppressed by various nationsin the land because they wouldn't harmonize.
Now, let me go deeper intoit. In order to harmonize, one
of the things that we have todo is we have to have a document

(48:21):
that all of us agree on.This is what makes unity. Listen to
me carefully. In America, weswear allegiance to the Constitution. Our president
does, leaders of states do,people in the Supreme Court do. We

(48:45):
do not swear allegiance to individuals becauseindividuals vacillate. Individuals can be caught in
their self aggrandizing disposition, in theirown personal attitudes, their own proclivities and
tendencies that might not be uniform orbeneficial to anyone but themselves. So we

(49:08):
don't swear allegiance to people. Whengovernments change, when different presidents come in,
they swear allegiance to the Constitution.We don't swear allegiance to political parties
because each person has their own agenda. Each party has its own agenda,

(49:30):
particularly when it comes to wielding power, and when we've got a group of
people who want to stay in power. So no longer do we serve the
people of God the people of thecountry. We serve ourselves because we want
power. In order to do that, then we have to ignore what we

(49:52):
swore to uphold, because in havingthe document, you take away the variety
of attitudes and dispositions of individuals.So you're not caught with an individual who
is narcissistic, and then next timeyou're caught with somebody who is ego maniacal,

(50:14):
and then you're caught the next timewith somebody who is kind and nice,
and then you're just bouncing back andforth if you keep allegiance to the
document. This is why we don'tswear allegiance to pastors. We don't fall
in love and hold on to pastorsAs God. What we uphold is not

(50:35):
his idiosyncratic concepts. What we upholdis his ability to stand on the word
of God. The word of Godthen becomes what we want to hear and
what keeps us all together. Ifall of us would understand the word of
God properly and approach the Word ofGod properly, we wouldn't have division.
We would have unity. Much ofthe division in Christianity is the individual attitude

(51:00):
of the person who is expostulating aword for his or her own personal agenda.
That's why I keep telling you,you got to have intent. You
got to find out the intent becauseintent determines content. And if the intent
of all preachers were pure, ifthe intent of the English going into Africa

(51:23):
and Europe going into Africa with theBible, if their intent was pure,
do we wouldn't have a country divided, with these major nations fighting each other
using the Catholic Church going from oneof the countries to the other country whichever
won suit what they wanted. Andtoday we have got Christians who are supporting

(51:45):
politicians outside of biblical truth. Ourallegiance is not to the Republicans or the
Democrats. Our allegiance is to theWord of God. And the word of
God deals with justice. The wordof God deals with love. The word
of God deals with treating other peoplewith dignity and integrity. Because that's what

(52:07):
God is. He is not agod of division. Let me take it
further. In Him, there isneither Jew nor Greek. There is neither
bond nor free, There is neithermale nor female. For all are one

(52:29):
in Christ, Jesus, the unityof God, the power of His unity
is so great that when anybody comesinto his presence and connects to him in
fellowship and relationship, they can't helpbut be one. No longer is there

(52:50):
any distinction between Jew or Greek.There is no distinction between bond nor free.
There is no distinction between male andfemale. I don't understand how we
can be in church and relegate ourfemale pastors and preachers to a second rate
seat. They're one in Christ Jesus. The woman who is preaching, the

(53:19):
woman who is preaching is not preachinggender. There are no gifts of the
spirit that are gender driven. Andyet still we make a spectacle out of
declaring whether I don't believe woman shouldpass, I don't believe woman should should
be a preacher, and go tothe Bible and misinterpret and misunderstand the context,

(53:42):
don't know anything about the historical analysis, don't deal with anything that deals
with the time in which it waswritten, and to understand it and glean
truth out of it and apply ittoday. A woman is not less than
a man, A black per isnot less than a white person. A
poor person is not less than arich person. That's what we teach,

(54:07):
that's what we preach, and theword of God is what we stand when
I hear oracles of God opening theirmouths, it should be open on the
basis of scripture, not on thebasis of political affiliation. Never. Scripture
and scripture makes us all one.And I'm not necessarily begging for somebody white

(54:30):
to think that I'm you know,I'm on their level. It really doesn't
matter. What matters to me iswhat God thinks about me in relationship to
them. I don't have power overhow they behave from a spiritual point of
view. That's why we have lawsto govern how they behave. But when

(54:52):
we have government that ignore laws,then I have to go back to love,
because if you don't love me,then you ought to follow the law.
So I'm saying to my Christian brothersand sisters, those of you who
are struggling with loving black folk,I'm saying to you, while you struggle,

(55:12):
follow the law and uphold the law. Well, I don't like him.
I can't get to like him,yet I'm trying my best to get
to like him. The Lord isworking with me. Fine, but while
you're struggling follow the law. Youcannot not have love and be lawless.
Toe and then declare you are achild of God. It don't work like

(55:36):
that. Don't work like that.You have to follow the law until you
can learn the love and learn tounderstand. Because he tells us that he
infects us with his unity, differencestotally eliminated. Therefore there can be no
confusion whatsoever. In Colossians, Iread chapter three about verse ten through eleven,

(56:02):
and I read and have put onthe new Man, which is renewed
in knowledge after the image of Himthat created him. Where there is neither
Greek nor Jew circumcision or uncircumcision,Barbarian Scythian, bound nor free, but

(56:27):
Christ is all and in all.This is why we are having trouble in
America, because, as Amos asked, the question, can two walk together
except they be agreed? And whatwe have is a steady diet of divisiveness
that is being ex preached from thehighest offices. But what God is saying

(56:54):
to us as the children of God, as Christians, white, black,
Asian his what God is saying tous is you need My spirit in you
and your voice from the Word toinfluence this culture. Influence the culture,

(57:15):
influence, the entertainment, influence thefinancial institutions, and then My will will
be done on earth as it isin heaven. I have given you a
spirit of power for you all tobecome one, so that you can have
the victory. Because there is andcan be no internal conflict in God.

(57:39):
It's either you're in him or you'renot. And if you're divisive, you're
not in him. If you're fullof confusion, you're not in him.
You just have the nominal church.Look, but the real church is totally
different. Because the real Church arewhite blacks and everybody from Asia and all

(58:00):
around the world. We all areconnected through the Holy Spirit as one.
That's the real church. And ourvoices are declaring this today because we are
the real Church. So even whenyou integrate soteriology, it's absorbed by the
principle of total harmony anytime, becausethere can be no internal conflict at any

(58:24):
stage in God. That's why itis impossible for God to lie. And
anybody who's operating genuinely in God,when they do lie, they'll confess it
and they'll say a lie. WhyBecause God's spirit spoke to my spirit and
said you lie. And my confessionis acknowledging to God that I walked outside

(58:49):
of the principle of truth. Butanybody who is in God does not lie
as a pastime. Every word isa lie. No, because lines bring
confusion, and people don't know howto operate when they're living with a bunch

(59:12):
of lines, because a line isactually nothing at all. When you lie
to me, you've told me nothing. I can't make any determination. I
don't know how to move forward ona lie. And that's the whole process.
Why God does not lie. It'simpossible for him to lie because there

(59:34):
is no duplicity or duality in him, and anybody who comes in him has
to pick up that same attitude.Lying is a sure sign of internal conflict.
Lying is a sign of dualism,of duplicity and confusion in the individual.
Why because if I'm lying, I'msaying something separate from what I know

(59:55):
is true. And if I'm sayingsomething separate from I know it's true,
then there's duality in me. Iam confused, and I'm spreading my confusion
by voicing it. And so theissue then of indecision and doubt does not
sit well with God, because nowhe turns around and tells us a double

(01:00:17):
minded man is unstable in all hisways, double minded. In this context,
it's not deceitful, but it's dubiousand undecided, because there again,
it brings polarity, internal conflict andconfusion. And God does not respond to

(01:00:38):
confusion. That's why he says wavering. When you waver, you get nothing
from the Lord. This is aPsalm's This is why when you read the
psalm, he hurries to settle aquestion, soul, soul, why art
thou cast down? O my soul? Why art thou disquieted within me?

(01:01:00):
When I feel that inner confusion comingthat brings on depression and doubt. Then
here's a response. Hope thou inthe Lord, for I shall yet praise
him for the help of his continents. Whenever he shows up, he removes
confusion and doubt. His consistence ofhis countenance brings me to the place where

(01:01:28):
I understand that God is not theauthor of confusion. At the same time,
it is impossible for God to lie. And yet still, when he
wants to destroy an enemy, Oh, I hope you see it. When
he wants to destroy an enemy,he can send singers who are together praising

(01:01:53):
him, and at the same timetheir praise goes out to God, and
God will send confusion in the camp. Let me let me take it further,
because I'm wondering, now, whereis America sitting in the side of
God? Because anytime I see divisionin America, I see America falling apart.

(01:02:19):
Let me go further. He isnot the author of confusion, but
he's always confused the enemy. Howdo I reconcile the statement when I look
at the historical document of God's behaviorwhen he's dealing with the enemies of his
people, he knows more than anyonethe catacalism that comes from division and confusion.

(01:02:46):
This is why there's none in him. So because there's none in him,
he knows more than any being,because he's a supreme being, and
the supreme being is so much wonHere's what he says to you and I.
Every kingdom divided against itself is broughtto death soule lation. And every

(01:03:09):
city or house that's divided against itselfshall not stand. It ain't a possibility
that it might. If Satan castout Satan, he is divided against himself,
how then shall his kingdom stand?The devil ain't against himself. The

(01:03:29):
devil's kingdom is solid, and inorder for us to defeat the Kingdom of
Satan, we have to be solid. The problem with America now, why
China is moving so rapidly to takeover the world. And look in Ezekiel
and you'll see the King of theNorth, the King of the East.

(01:03:53):
And you'll get a chance and understandthis that is in reference to where Israel
is king of the North, kingof the East. Understand that he said
nothing about the king of from thewest, because the West is sitting over
here divided against itself. And everygreat empire destroyed itself from within. Every

(01:04:24):
great empire came down, not becauseof outside forces, but because of internal
conflict. That's why when the Lordwanted to stop them from building the tower,
he interjected something that is not apart of himself, but he knows

(01:04:45):
it defeats the enemy. Behold,the people is one, and they have
all one language. And this theybegin to do. And now nothing will
restrain be restrained from them, whichthey have been imagine to do. So
go to let us go down andconfound their language, that they may not

(01:05:05):
understand one another's speech. Understand thejudgment that confusion brings. It stops you
from getting to that place that Godwould have you to be. Anytime you
have a nation that breeds and liveson division, you have a nation that's

(01:05:28):
about to crumble in every manner whatsoever. If you have a thought for the
lives of the people in your nation, and if you have a thought for
them above money, then you willunderstand that your money will only come when
the people are together, when thepeople are healthy, together, when the
people can advance together, when thedivide between rich and poor is broken down,

(01:05:54):
so at least you have a ladder. The latter has no wrong.
Now you can't be poor in Americaand become rich climbing up the ladder because
the wrong the next rung is sohigh up you can't reach it, because
the division is so great. Iwas in Ghana and I went to see

(01:06:15):
the ambassador, because when I goto countries, I make sure that the
embassy knows I'm in the country.In case something goes down, they know
I'm there so i can reach backto them for some protection or covering,
because I'm a part of that country. And the embassy is really a part
of America, even though it sitsin another country. And I was sitting
there with him, and he saidto me, well, how are things

(01:06:39):
in America? How are things inAmerica? And I said to him,
well, how are things in Ghana. He says, you know, we
have rich, we are poor,and we have no middle class. I
say, that's what's happening in America. Now. America has completely disavowed middle
class. You're rich or you're extremelypoor, and climbing up is extremely,

(01:07:00):
if not impossible, to do unlessyou're gifted, like a basketball player,
some kind of sports or some kindof entertainment talent. And then again,
your rise is not because of yourassociation with those who are on top.
It's because of your association with thosewho are on the bottom. With you,
you gave something to the masses thatthey enjoy, and they elevated you.

(01:07:24):
And then when you get up there, you should try to bring somebody
else up so that we can getrid of this great divide. That divide
is destroying us because certain people noware have employed themselves too, the group

(01:07:44):
of people who run things who arelooking down on a group of people who
we now regard as peasants. Becausethe feudal system is in place right now,
we've got monarchy oriented leaders who havenobles who sit in the Senate,
who have nobles who sit in theSupreme Court. And look over the last

(01:08:05):
ten years and see how many timesthe Supreme Court has dealt out justice that's
not partisan. They have voted andruled for the big companies and big people.
They want to eliminate unions for thesmall people because the country is divided.

(01:08:29):
Everybody's not for everybody else. Everybody'sfor themselves and for the group that
they have found themselves with. Andso he uses confusion to destroy enemies,
go to let us go down andconfound their language so they may not understand

(01:08:50):
one another's speech. So babbel nowis mixed or mingled. It's like oil
and flower. They can't and water. They can't come together. One floats
on top of the other, butyou can't stir them into each other.
And that's why the Lord scattered ordispersed, not invertingly like sheep that go

(01:09:14):
astray. He did it because heconfused their language. When we begin to
interpret the Bible properly, all ofus should have one language. And even
in the nuances in the scriptures,Paul says, there are certain things avoid
certain things that you suggest or putin a scripture asygetically that you cannot exegete.

(01:09:35):
If you put it in and Ican't get it out, then it's
subjective to you. All of usshould be able to get out what you
declare, it says. And whenyou do that, you have one language.
When you don't have one language,then we're divided with all kinds of
isms and schisms, and were separated. And there's one language. God says,

(01:09:58):
all of us should have this.Shall all men know you are My
disciples by your love one towards another. And so when you look at it
and I think I'll pick it upanother time. God is not the author
of confusion. That's why in thechurch, he says, limit speaking in

(01:10:19):
tongues to three at most, withone interpreter. No interpreter, no tongue
speaker, except he speak quietly toGod. Prophets speak two or three with
one judge revelation to anyone else,hold your peace at first prophesy one by
one to learn and be comforted.The spirit of the prophets are subject to

(01:10:40):
the prophet. For God is notthe author of confusion, but of peace,
as in all the churches of thesaints. So notice now that God
and his people are united by hisoneness, but he uses confusion to disband

(01:11:01):
the enemy. Hope you get it. And I'm wondering with the confusion in
America where everybody's telling me God isin the White House. The confusion in
America cannot be God because he won'teven have confusion in his church. But
when he's getting ready to dismantle anation, he allows confusion to reign.

(01:11:28):
Ask yourself, America, is Godwith us with this kind of behavior that's
causing division? Four leopards sounded likea multitude in the Syrians camp, and
the Syrians fell apart. Strong delusionsare allowed by his permissive will. Satan

(01:11:50):
is even permitted to blind the mindsof them that don't believe. I'm telling
you you can't play with the wordof God and play with the Christians and
people who love God and tell methat God is in America. With all
this confusion there is, it seemsto me like the country is self destructing.

(01:12:14):
I wish you'd understand. But letme talk to you a minute as
I close, because I don't wantto close on a negative note. I
want to close on a positive,powerful note, And so let me close
powerfully. The Lord is laying inweight. He's setting a trap. When

(01:12:34):
the group of praisers and worshipers.When those of us who look so helpless
in face of all that's going onaround us, God says, look,
you are champion warriors with unusual powers. So here's what I'm going to do.

(01:12:56):
While you praise me while the enemylooks at you as if you have
no strength at all, while theenemy is kicking their teeth with the death
of your boys, if you canjust come together and praise me, I

(01:13:17):
will send praisers out in front.And when they see the praisers, they'll
say, oh, they ain't readyfor fighting, but our weapons are not
gone. So praise makes the childof God one with God. When I

(01:13:38):
worship him and I praise him,and I worship him in spirit and in
truth, I become one with theMaster. So it defines the roles between
our God and his people. Itbecomes object and subject. And when the
object in admiration, when the subject, rather in admiration of the object,

(01:13:59):
begins to praise him. Now Ihave moved into his court with the thanksgiving
and the praise, and I becomeone with him. So praise then sets
the ambush on the enemy, becausewhen I'm praising God, he moves to
protect, because He dwells in themidst of praise and praise loves the enemy

(01:14:20):
into a false sense of an easyfight and victory against a group of misfits.
But the misfits didn't come with yourweapons. The misfits didn't walk in
with AK forty five or fifteen's andforty five. We didn't come in with
badzukahs and guns. We came inwith praise. Because the God we serve

(01:14:43):
can straighten and set any situation right, because we are not carnal in our
approach to situations that bother us sodeeply. Because we are not carnal,
we do not come with the natural. When we come with the supernatural,
and we are mighty through God tothe pulling down of strong holds, so

(01:15:03):
we can come rejoicing. So wego into battle declaring the Lord made them
to rejoice over their enemies on theway praise the Lord. We go in
to battle saying, praise the Lordfor his mercy ended forever. The Lord
is my life and my salvation.Whom shall I fear? The Lord is

(01:15:26):
the strength of my life. Ofwhom shall I be afraid? Wait on
the Lord, be of good courage. He shall strengthen your heart. Wait,
I say on the Lord, andI'm saying to these families, when
you go into battle, I willbless the Lord at all times. It's
praise shall continue to be in mymouth. And I tell you what's gonna
happen when we come out of battle. We are going to be able to

(01:15:51):
declare another kind of praise coming outof battle, and that is I will
praise thee O Lord with my wholeheart. I will show forth all thy
marvelous words. When mine enemies areturned back, they shall fall and perish
at thy presence. Give unto theLord the glory, Do unto his name.

(01:16:15):
Worship the Lord in the beauty ofholiness. That's where the children of
God, who come together in unity, will declare against any enemy. The
Lord is my rock and my fortress, my deliverer, my God, my
strength in whom I will trust mybutler, and the horn of my salvation,

(01:16:38):
my high tower. Praise Him inthe middle of all we're going through.
Praise Him in the middle of thepandemic. Praise Him in the middle
of injustice and open your mouth anddeclare that we're standing on biblical truth.
And if we're children of God,black, white, Asian, Hispanic,

(01:16:58):
it does not matter. We're joinedtogether by the Holy Ghost. And we
ought to have one voice against injustice, one voice against police brutality, one
voice against black on black crime,one voice against any kind of injustice.
Letting some people free while you gotother people bound. We need to put
the blindfold black on that woman.We need to put the balance back,

(01:17:24):
because she don't have no blind fauldnow and nothing is in balance. But
I will bless the Lord at alltimes until he brings down the stronghold.
God bless you today, Heaven,smile on you. I hope I wasn't
too angry righteous indignation. Father,We thank you. We pray now for

(01:17:51):
those who are suffering in any manner. We ask you to comfort them,
move on their behalf, move ontheir behalf. And I pray for this
country for leadership in all manners,from state, local, state, federal.

(01:18:11):
I pray God that somehow we seethe riding on the wall, that
this great country is falling apart becauseof division. And I am not presumptuous
enough to say, Lord that it'syour divine will. I know it's your
permissive will, but I pray Godthat somehow you will turn us around so

(01:18:38):
that we will understand that, morethan anything, division brings a great nation
down. And I pray now forthe world that your spirit will move and
that this disease will be brought undercontrol, whether naturally or supernaturally. Because
God, we have come to theplace where we know we must repent.

(01:19:01):
We must turn from our ways,evil ways. We must seek your face
so that you'll hear and heal thelad Bless my brothers and sisters all over
the world in Jesus name. Amen. For those of you who want to
become members of the City of Refuge, I haven't extended this to you,

again on the screen. I'm surethey have put up all the ways that
you can give and give as theLord blesses you, give, as the
Lord blesses you. I will lookat our situation financially, and as things

(01:20:12):
recover, I may run some sortof telethon or something. I might get
online a thon or something, andsee can we build up the coffers and
be able to go forward. We'refeeding people. I'm filling out a new
form now to a nonprofit group thatGod just blessed with bountiful amounts of goods

(01:20:38):
and food, and I'm going tohave that for your consumption, so that
in all of this you won't behungry. You'll be able to eat and
have sustenance and immune systems that arefunctioning and operating in the middle of this
disease. Now, as I gooff the air again, I want to

(01:21:00):
say to all of my fellow pastorsand leaders, you are reaching the Saints.
You're reaching the Saints. Some ofour mothers don't have the kind of
equipment to get this service, butwe have other members and they have children

(01:21:20):
who will make sure upon their requeststhat they get this kind of information.
And I'll go further to say,for everyone who does not have, we
can set it up in the sanctuarywhere you sit separately and look at it.

(01:21:41):
We can do that. That's notdifficult. So all I need you
to do is get on either socialmedia at the city of refuge La dot
org and put in your request,or go to prayer at City of refuge
La dot org and say that iswhat you need. I promise you we'll

(01:22:04):
come and see about you. Ihave at least three people who are calling
twenty people a day. I gavehim one hundred thousand names to call twenty
people a day and fill out aform after you've talked to them, so
that I can see what people areneeding while we're away. I'm saying to

(01:22:26):
my fellow pastors, don't rush inbecause of income, because of influence or
identity. God has given you peopleto shepherdize, to watch over, watch
over them, watch over them.It doesn't matter what the president says or

(01:22:51):
the governor says. The people whomy governor and my president should be listening
to are the people who operate inscience, operate in that natural field that
God has given. And God hasmade government his power his power. So

(01:23:15):
listening to them is not disobeying God. Get it straight, the lives of
our people. One of my greatbrothers died in New York, brother Clomax,
John Clomax, one of my brothersin business, and he was a
trader on the stock market. Hedied, Gone, Pg, Gone.

(01:23:41):
Let them not die in vain.They died probably not having the knowledge we
had. If I know, doctorPG, if he had had the knowledge
we have now, he would haveprotected himself. He was such a giving
human being. And I know youwant to be back with the people,

(01:24:03):
but only if it's safe. Ilove them too much to lose them.
I'd rather be away from them fora little season than to be away from
them for the rest of my life. So please, let's honor the love

(01:24:23):
we have for people and follow therule. God, bless you Heaven,
smile on me.
