Bishop TD Jakes - Holy Things are not Human Things - Potter's Touch

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
I'm excited to share the Word of the Lord with
you today. I'm gonna be in several scriptures. I've gotten
so much positive response from you regarding enjoying the Bible class.
I'm enjoying teaching it as well. I know doctor James
is enjoying getting a break for a minute. I'm gonna
have her back though. Don't getting too comfortable. But tonight

(00:32):
we're gonna be talking about holy things are not human things.
Holy things are not human things. And I think you're
gonna get a blessing out of this in your life
and in your spirit. Now, I'm gonna pray that God
open up your understanding. Get a pin, get a peg,
get your Bible, get ready to seriously get down. I'm

(00:52):
not preaching. I'm not hooping. I'm not trying to get
you excited, not trying to make you dance. I'm trying
to get you rooted and grounded and principles of truth
that will help your life. Holy things are not human things. Father,
in the name of Jesus, open up the understanding of
the person who says I can't remember and I can't retain.
Open up the understanding of the person who can't read
their Bible on their own, and it doesn't make sense

(01:14):
to this. Open up the understanding of the person who
is grounded in the Word of God, but they're looking
for a deeper sense of revelation and truth. Open up
the understanding of ministers, pastors, elders, and leaders, so that
we cannot only serve milk, but we can serve the
meat of the Word. In Jesus' name, we pray. Shout
Amen right where you are. I don't care if you
got neighbors. Shout it anyway. Okay, we're going to the

(01:37):
Book of Genesis. That's where everything started. It's called the
Book of Beginnings. We're going to be in Genesis, chapter fifteen,
verse seven through eight. And as you're turning to it,
I want you to understand what I'm really after is
to set you into a deeper understanding of the Passover.
That's what I'm really after, is a deeper understanding of
the Passover. Because when you understand the past us over better,

(02:00):
you understand cavalry better. You understand the price that Christ
paid for your redemption, and why you paid it, and
how you paid it and what it meant. But I'm
starting all the way back in the book of Genesis,
and I really could go back to Genesis one to start,
but I'm going to go to Genesis fifteen because it
really starts getting good at Genesis fifteen. Because this section

(02:22):
that I'm going to be talking about, I call it
the contract.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
People every day say, you know, I'm afraid to do
business with this one or that one. I'm afraid to
let somebody have a piece of my company. I'm afraid
to develop a partnership. I'm afreid to get a deed
to trust. I'm afraid to invest into a piece of land.
I'm afraid of doing this.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
That, and the other.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Don't be afraid get a contract, because when you get
a contract, you have a legal document that lays out
for you clearly and specifically what you get, what they get,
how they get it, when they get it, what to
do if they're All of that stuff should be written
out in the contract. And a handshaking is a wonderful thing,

(03:05):
and a word of promise is nice. But the Bible
says the giving of an oath or contract is the
end of all strife, and I hope to get to
it if I can't. Over in Hebrews, God said I
noticed that the custom amongst men is the giving of
an oath is the end of all strife. And I
look for something to swear by finding something, finding no

(03:26):
one greater than myself, I swear by myself that my
word is true, that surely blessings, I will bless you,
and multiplying, I will multiply. The think of that that
God would give you a contract swearing that He's gonna
bless you. It's not just that you got his word
on it, you got his contract on it. He says,
I swear I'm going to bless you. I swear I'm

(03:50):
going to bless you. You might need to hear that tonight.
If I don't go any further, God said, I swear
I'm going to bless you. And it goes all the
way back to God dealing with Abram in the Book
of Genesis, chapter fifteen. Abram is getting old. He's one
hundred years old when he has his son Isaac. He's
getting up in age, and there are some things that
God's going to do for him that he won't even

(04:11):
live to see. Regarding his descendants, and I believe that
the blessing of the Lord are generational, that they passed
out from generation to generation. I believe I'm walking in
the blessing of my parents and my grandparents, particularly my grandfather,
of whom I'm named after, who was murdered at twenty
two years old. I was astounded when my uncle looked

(04:32):
at me and he said, I think God gave you
more life because he gave my father less. His father
died at twenty two. He was named after me. And
here I am sixty two and I was born on
the day that my grandfather was murdered. But God seems
to have a way of passing blessings down, and I
pray that the blessing of the Lord not only will

(04:54):
bless you, but it will pass on to your children
and to your children's children. Every decision you you make,
it's gonna have an effect for generations after you're gone.
Positively or negatively, they're gonna have an effect. My mother
decided she liked Western Virginia. My father was just supposed
to be there for a temporary job. My mother liked

(05:14):
the mountains and decided to stay. And I was born
up in those hills, and it affected how I came out.
It affected the trajectory of my life. So every decision,
if you change churches, if you change jobs, if you
go back to school, if you accept Christ, all of
those things are gonna have an indirect or direct outcome

(05:35):
and effect on your family in some way. It's gonna
shift them. If you get married again, in some way,
it's gonna shift them. If you get divorced in some way,
it's gonna shift them. And you need to keep that
in mind, that you're not just thinking for you, You're not
just living for you. You're not just giving for you. You're giving
for generations and generations to come again. Okay, if you

(05:56):
haven't found Genesis by now, I'm just gonna pray for you.
Genesis chapter fifteen, verse seven through eighteen. And he said
unto him, being Abram, I am the Lord that brought
Thee out of error the Chaldeans, to give thee this
land to inherit it. And he said, Lord God, whereby
shall I know that I shall inherit it? Because he's

(06:18):
an old man, he says, how do I know that
this is gonna stick? And he says, I brought you
out of r which is Mesopotamia. It is a more
modern day Mesopotamia. And the interesting footnote there is that
he's subtly reminding Abram that he was a gentile, and
out of his loins God bursts the Jewish, the Hebrew

(06:39):
and ultimately the Jewish nation out of the loins of
a man who's a gentile. There's a miracle right there.
God calls those things that are not as so they
are because he has a power to make them become
whatever he said. So God starts a race out of
the loins of a man who was not that race,
and perpetuates that ethnicity, should say, and brings it forward

(07:02):
as his chosen people. But he starts with a God
a Mesopotamian says, get THEE out of that country and
away from thy kindred. I'm getting ready to do a
new thing in you. Glory to God. I don't know
who that's for, but sometimes God has to shift you
to bless you, to get you out of territories and
get you in the new ground so you can start
and your descendants can be blessed. So he says, I

(07:24):
am the Lord that brought Thee out of error of
the Chaldeans, to give thee this land to inherit it.
And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that
I shall inherit it. And he said, unto him, take
me a heifer of three years old, and a she
goat of three years old, and a ram of three
years old, and a turtle dove, and a young pigeon.

(07:46):
And he took unto him all these and divided them
in the midst and laid each piece one against another.
But the birds divided. He not now he took all
of these animals. He had to go gather them, He
had to bring them. I have to understand these animals
have value. Abram lives in a bartering system. It is
not so much as they always deal with gold or silver.

(08:09):
Certainly didn't have cash or cash aps, didn't have American
Express or visa cards or things like that. But they
used these goats and animals to trade for things that
they needed. For him to take them and slay them
open and lay them out before God was a sacrifice.
That many couldn't sell them, that many couldn't make wool

(08:29):
out of their coats, that many couldn't eat them. He
offered them up as a sacrifice before God, and he
split them open, and he took under him all these
and divided them in the midst and laid each piece
one against another. But the birds divided he not, And
when the fowls came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove

(08:51):
them away. And when the sun was going down, a
deep sleep fell upon Abram, and lorror of great darkness
fell upon him, and he said, unto Abram, God said
on Abram, know of a surety that thy seed shall
be a stranger in a land that is not theirs,
and shall serve them, and they shall afflict them for

(09:14):
four hundred years. And also that nation whom they shall serve,
will I judge, And afterwards shall they come out with
great substance. And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace.
Thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But
in the fourth generation they shall come hither again, for

(09:36):
the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. And
it came to pass that when the sun went down
and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace and a
burning lamp that passed between those pieces. And in the
same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying,

(09:56):
unto thy seed, have I given this land from the
rivers of Egypt, unto the great river of the Euphrates.
This is God entering into a contract with Abram. There's
so much I want you to see about this. There's
a big hint that you begin to understand about God.
Number One, God is proactive, not reactive. He has determined

(10:20):
the end from the beginning. He's not making up the
script as he goes. He's not going through the year
and saying, wonder what I'm gonna do next year. I'm
not sure about five years from now, God knows what's
gonna happen. Four one hundred years from now. He's already
gotten the plan laid out. He's just sharing the plan

(10:41):
with Abram because Abram is getting old, and Abram has
seen part of the fulfillment of the province, but not
all of the fulfillment of the province. And he needs
to know that God's work will last longer than him.
Now watch the language, because there's some hints in here
that are very important. Number One, in order for him

(11:03):
to get the secret of the future, he had to sacrifice.
Sacrifice is important. So God told him to take a
half of the three years old, a sheigo the three
years old, a Ram of three years old, and a
turtle dove and a young pigeon. And he took under
him all these and divided them in the midst and
laid each piece one against another. But the birds divided,

(11:26):
he not, And when the fowls came upon the carcasses,
Abram drove them away. It's very interesting there. There are
all these dead animals that spread out. This is a massacre.
Three of this, and three of that, and three of
the other, twelve different types of splitts. And then the
two turtle doves. He's laid them all out, then the

(11:48):
two pigeons, and he didn't split the pigeons, He didn't
split the turtle duves. But everything else is split into
and later. Can you imagine the blood? Can you imagine
the blood? These are living animals that have been sacrificed,
split in two, separated one from the other, leaving an

(12:10):
owl in the middle. There's blood absolutely everywhere. And so
you see the birds coming down, and the birds are
coming the fowls are coming down on the carcass. He says,
no doubt, vultures or some other type of carnivorous type
bird is flying down, and Abram is fanning them away.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
All day long.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
He's fanning them away He's fanning them away like rism
If you remember Rismal fanned away the buzzards from eating
up her sons who were hung in the Bible. He's
fanning them away like that. But God puts him to sleep.
Why do I get out of that? Abram's working. Abram's working.

(12:57):
Abraham is a patriarchal faith. Abraham has stepped into the
grace of God. It will not be by works lest
any man should boasts. Abraham will not get to brag
about this and say had fanned all the fouls away,
they would have eaten up this sacrifice. I wouldn't have
this contract with God. God put him to sleep because

(13:21):
this battle belongs to God. Some of you are working
real hard trying to keep something together that you have
to turn it over to God and let God do that.
I told some of our shtaff the other day. I said,
in these two months that we have been shut down
and we've been streaming online, it's been amazing to see
how much of what we were doing God didn't need.

(13:43):
God can do whatever he wants to do. He can
do it on camera, he can do it on the screen,
he can do it in your house. He can do
it in the sanctuary. He can use you, he cannot
use you. He's God. He's still in control. And as
much as we want to help, and as much as
we want to be a bleased, as much as we
want to fan away all the mothers that are coming

(14:04):
against what we perceive to be our work, our labor,
our house, our ministry, our job, our car, our kids,
it is vain. The Bible said for you to rise
up early and lay down late at night. The Lord
giveth his beloved sleep. This battle is not yours. It
belongs to God. And Abraham went into a sleep, But

(14:25):
that is not what got me the most. It's one
thing to say that he went into a sleep when
the sun went down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram,
and low, a horror of a darkness fell upon him.
It almost sounds like he's gone, like he's dead. I
mean a horror. For the Bible to say it was

(14:48):
a deep sleep.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
And a horror, and a horror.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Fell upon him. And when he was completely out of
the way, that's when God took over and start talking
to him. Wow, when he couldn't hear, when he wasn't working,
when he wasn't swinging, God started talking Are we too busy?

(15:17):
Are we so busy fanning away the buzzers and protecting
ourselves and fainting off the haters and responding to the
critics and doing this and doing that? And if you
said that, I heard that, We said, are we too
busy trying to do stuff? That?

Speaker 2 (15:32):
If we would just rest in.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
The Lord, would he not speak to us and reveal
to us his plan rather than us protecting our sacrifice.
Sometimes we're so busy protecting what we got in it
that we don't even understand what God has for us.
This is not about what Abraham has in it. This
is about what God has for him. The cost of

(15:56):
it mission was sacrifice. But he could not pay for
the word of God. He could not protect the word
of God. God put him to sleep so the blessing
would break out in his life. This is gonna get good.
And he said, Abram, know of a surety that thy
seed shall be a stranger in a land that is
not there. Now.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
He starts out, telling Abram, I have given you.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
This land, but after you're gone, somebody something's gonna happen.
You're gonna have to leave this land and your children.
Your seed will be a stranger in a land that
is not theirs, and shall serve them, and they shall
afflict them four hundred years. Listen very closely at these words.

(16:43):
They're gonna go through a period of digression. Just because
God is in your life, and just because you have
a covenant, and just because you have a contract, just
because God's given an oath, doesn't mean that you don't
go through a period of digression. But don't allow the
digression to become so entrenched in your spirit that you

(17:03):
believe that the digression is your destiny. It might be
a setback, but it's a set up for a comeback.
You have to understand that it might be a setback,
but it's a setup for a comeback. Sometimes God has
to give you a setback to redirect you, to shift you,

(17:23):
to change you, to prepare you, or it or those
around you for what He's about to do in your life.
And that's how you prove that He's Lord in your life,
not just when things are going up, but when things
are going down. He said, I'm gonna send your children
into a land that is not theirs. They're gonna be
afflicted while they're there. They're gonna stay there, not for

(17:45):
the weekend, not for a month, not for a year.
They're gonna be there four hundred years. But afterwards they're
gonna come out with great substance. Now he doesn't name
what land it is right in this particular text, but
he's talking about Egypt. Has to be taught about Egypt,
no question about it. Has to be talking about Egypt.
Abram goes to sleep literally right now, he sleep spiritually.

(18:10):
Ultimately he's gonna be sleep dead and when he dies.
He said, this is what's gonna happen after you die,
so that when you get ready to die, you will
already know how things are gonna go. Look at God
sharing secrets with Abram, and it's important for you to
understand the power of those secrets. If you go to

(18:32):
Psalms twenty five one through fourteen. Now I'm gonna come
back to this in a minute, But if you go
to Psalms twenty five fourteen, the Bible says, a secret
of the Lord is with them that fear him, and
he shall show them his covenant. Do not know when
you fear what that means. Be scared of means to
reverence God, when you respect God, when you honor him,

(18:54):
he will let you know secrets. A secret of the
Lord is with them that fear him. He called Abram friend.
He let Abram in. You remember in the Gospel John
chapter fifteen, when God said his fourth I call you
no longer service, but I call you friends. For a
servant knoweth not what his master doeth. A servant knoweth

(19:18):
not what his master doeth. One of the signs that
you know that you're a friend of God is that
he starts to let you in on secrets, and he
let Abraham in on a secret, because a secret of
the Lord is with them that fear him, and he
shall show them his covenant. That doesn't mean for you
to tell everybody, because sometimes when you tell people what

(19:41):
God told you, they'll try to kill you for it.
Ask Joseph. They'll try to destroy you for it. But
that doesn't mean that God won't still bring it to
pass in your life. But you might save yourself being
thrown in a pit and spending some time in Potiphar's house,
sold to the Midianites, lied on putting jail, and you
might be able to go right to the palace if

(20:03):
you didn't tell all your business all the time. The
secret there's a reason they call it a secret. The
secret of the Lord is with him to fear him,
and he should show them his company. Let's go back
to Genesis for just a minute, and thou shall go
to thy fathers in peace. Right after he told him
that your great, great, great great grandchildren are gonna come

(20:23):
out of everything I took him through with great substance.
And you need to underline that verse, because God doesn't
take you through tough times, not for you to come
out of it with nothing. If God saw fit to
take you and sojourn you in a strange place and
make you subservient and take you through tests and trials,
it means that afterwards you're gonna come out with great substance.

(20:45):
That's what he promised them. And thou shall go to
thy fathers in peace. Thou should be buried in a
good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall
come hither again. For the iniquity of the amirits yet full.
He said, in the fourth generation, they're gonna come back
into what you're in right now. So when Abra was

(21:07):
offering up that sacrifice, it wasn't just for him, it
was for his descendants. It was a deed of trust
for this property. It was ownership, it was a contract,
it was an investment, and Abraham was setting.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
His descendants up.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
The Oh God, there's some things that God has put
in your spirit, visions, ideas, concepts, business companies that are
gonna set your great great grandchildren up. I just don't
know who I'm talking to, but I believe I'm talking
real good right now, there's some moves that you're making
right now. It's bigger than you. It's bigger than your retirement.

(21:45):
It's bigger than when you get old. It's bigger than
the college's education for the kids. It's changing the trajectory
of your family. It's breaking generational curses. It's turning things
around in your life, lining things up so that they
can function different. There's a reason God moved you from
where you were. There's a reason God is shifting you

(22:06):
from where you want it to be. There's a reason
God puts you in a new atmosphere, exposed you to
new ideas. It's not just about you, it's not just
about the paycheck. It's for your children and for your
children's children. Who knows if he'd ha stayed where he was,
whether he'd have had any children or not. Maybe they
would have been killed, maybe they would have been destroyed.

(22:27):
When God does something, he does it because it fits
into his plan and into his purpose. For we know
that all things work together, all of them work together
for the good of them that love the Lord, who
are the called according to His purpose. All things, the
good and the bad, the shifting and the uncertainty, and

(22:48):
the discomfort and the emotional turmoil, It's all gonna work
together for the good of them that loved the Lord,
who are the called accordions purpose. I hope you get
that in your spirit. I hope you get in your
spirit to God is up to something good. I hope
I can teach well enough to drive the dark clouds
away over your life and that ominous feeling that you
keep having when you lay down at night, and that

(23:09):
discomfort you have, and that indigestion, and that anxiety and
those rashes, and that breathing disorder that keeps coming from you.
I hope that the faith of God's word would give
you the kind of confidence that it's going to work
together for the good and for your children, and for
your grandchildren and for your great great grandchildren. Oh, my God,
you should see how many people are sitting in this chair.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's one of this chair. Don't fall over in the floor.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
My father is sitting here, my mother is sitting here,
My grandparents are sitting here, My great great grandparents who
were slaves are all sitting here. I am the sum
total of all of them. The things that they fought
for I inherited. I reap the blessings of the people
who went on before me. And so showed my children
and my children's children's children walking into new doors and

(23:57):
dimensions only because he came first.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
And it's true about you.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
You don't know that. Sometimes the enemy isn't fighting you
about you. He might be fighting you over what's gonna
happen in your daughter and your son. He may be
fighting them over what they're about to inherit. The enemy
knows that God has a plan. God has a plan.
This is a four hundred years strategy. Some of you

(24:24):
don't have a four day strategy. God has a four
hundred years strategy of how things are gonna work out.
Nothing surprised him. Oh, you don't know what happened to
me when I got into Egypt. Lord, it didn't go right.
It started out good. It was good for about the
first thirty years, but then after that all hell broke
loose and we ended up in slaby.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
He knows all about it.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
But afterwards, afterwards, you're gonna come out with great substance,
Paul says, in this way, these light afflictions, which are
but for them moment, work for us a far more
exceeding weight of glory. For we look not at the
things that are seen, For the things that are seen
are temporal. The things that are not seen are eternal.

(25:12):
Let's go deeper with that. The things that are seen
are sensual. They appeal to our senses. I can see it,
I can smell it, I can hear it, I can
touch it. The things that we look not at the
things that are seen. For the things that are sensual
are temporal. The things that are spiritual are eternal. So

(25:36):
while you're praying about all this sensual stuff, God is
bringing about a spiritual thing that's going to outweigh every
sensual thing. There's a difference between sensual and sensual. Every
sensual thing. Everything your eyes have seen, your ears have heard,
have not even begin to imagine what God has in
store for them that love him. But it have been

(25:56):
revealed unto us by his spirit. God's spirit has got
a plan in place for your life. Stop stressing, go
to bed, stop stressing, be at peace. God's got this.
He put Abram in a deep sleep. I want to
go back to that deep sleep. He put him in
a deep sleep to say I don't need you. I'm

(26:18):
gonna do this without you. That means that this is
a covenant. But it's not a bilateral covenant, because a
bilateral covenant would be between two people. It is a
unilateral covenant. It is God in covenant with himself, and
we become the recipient of a covenant. We had nothing
to do with. Abraham was sleep and God was still

(26:41):
putting together promises for him and his children and his grandchildren.
My wife and I did his state planning. We did
a will, We set a wheel in place. Or if
something happens to me and they say I didn't have
a will, they lied. I do I have a will.
I have a state planning. I left things to my children,
to my grandchildren, to my fire. But they weren't there.

(27:03):
They weren't there when I made the will. They weren't
there when I made the decisions. They didn't sign the wheel.
I signed the wheel. They become the recipients of a
will that they weren't even there when it was ratified.
That's what it means to be an heir, an air
of salvation and purchase of God. You weren't there two

(27:24):
thousand years ago when Christ was crucified on the cross,
but you inherited it. You're an air of salvation. You've
been purchased by God, You've been born of his spirit,
You've been washed in his blood. This is my story.
This is my soul, praising my Savior all the day long.
Let me read on. And it came to pass it

(27:45):
when the sun went down and it was dark. The
hole of smoking furnace and a burning lamb that passed
between those pieces. That smoking furnace and that burning lamb
is God in covenant with himself. It was the custom
of the times that if we were to do a
deed of trust, we would split these animals, and you
and I would walk through the blood and swear that

(28:07):
we were going to transfer the deed. God walked through
it by himself. Abraham becomes the recipient of a covenant
that he never walked through. Oh, this is heavy. But
this is some good stuff. You have to understand. Salvation
is of the Lord, healing is of the Lord. The
blessing is of the Lord. Deliverances of the Lord, increases

(28:27):
of the Lord. You don't have anything to do with it.
Take all that air out of your chest. Stop looking
down your nose at people. Whatever you got, you didn't
do it yourself. God walked through this. You became the
recipient of something for which you did not labor. I
will give you houses you didn't build. I will give
you vineyards that you didn't grow. You can't take credit
for the blessing. I am God, and I am going

(28:50):
to do it for you. In that same day, the
Lord made a covenant with Abrams, saying, unto thy seed,
have I given this land from the river of Egypt,
unto the great river, the river you Phraatese and Abraham's going.

(29:11):
You know why you sleep because it's not by work,
so less any man should boast. It is by the
grace of God through faith. That's why you sleep. That's
why God does things about you without you, so that
you can't take credit for it. That's why God didn't
let it a rich uncle die and give you the money,

(29:33):
so he couldn't take credit for it. That's why God
didn't want your friends to meet your needs so that
you get up and pray service and praise them. This
is God's doing. You have a covenant with God. A
covenant is a contract. It's a contract. It's important that
you understand that you have a contract with God that

(29:56):
affects your children and your children's children. And Abram was sleep.
He wasn't fanning away buzzards. He didn't earn it, he
didn't work for it. He just received it. He is
an heir. It is a unilateral contract of which Abram
is the recipient. That's why in the New Testament, when

(30:19):
you get in the New Testament and the apostles are
laying hands on people and they keep saying, receive ye
the holy ghosts, receive ye, the Holy ghost, Receive ye,
the Holy ghost. Because when you're in error, all you
have to do is receive Hallylujiah. You don't have to
fan any buzzers, you don't have to beg for it,
you don't have to work for it.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Receive you.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
That's why when Jesus was walking around and he found
the lame Man, he said, Wilt thou be made whole.
You don't have to work for it. All you have
to do is receive it. There are some things that
God wants you to receive that your mind and your
flesh and your will. He said, Oh no, I'm not ready.
I don't deserve it. I didn't earn it. I didn't
work for it. I can't do that. I haven't been

(31:04):
trained for it.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
No, no, no, no no.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
God didn't ask you anything about your degree. He said,
receive it, my God. If you get that and I
don't teach another word tonight, if you just get that
and you never hear me again, you could live the
rest of your life off of that word right there.
Receive it. Receive it, Receive what God has for you.

(31:30):
Receive the blessing. Stop doubting and stop questioning it. Stop
pushing people away. Receive it. Receive a better life. Receive peace,
Receive joy, Receive wholeness. Receive a sound mind. You don't
have to earn it. Stop trying to think yourself into it.
Make yourself do it. Oh no, no, no, no, no no
no no. Just receive it. You're the benefactor. You're the

(31:55):
beneficiary of a covenant, the recipient. If something happens to
me right now. My kids don't know what I left
to them, But the lawyer's gonna call them on the
phone and call them down to the office and say,
he left you this, and he left you that, and
he left that well to this one and that to
this one. All they have to do is you got it,

(32:15):
receive it. And when Jesus died on the cross and
ushered in the New Testament, which is a new covenant,
all you have to do is receive it. Will you
receive it? Will you receive a better life for yourself?

(32:36):
Will you receive it? Will you receive joy and contentment
and peace and power? Will you receive prosperity? Or do
you think that's for them? And that's for those people
next door, and that's for those people over there, and
that's for those good people over here, And that's for it. No, no, no, no,
no no no no no no no, Abraam, receive it.

(32:56):
You sleep through it. I'm gonna give it to you
and to your children, to your crazy great great grandchildren.
They're gonna be the benefactors of something that they didn't
even hear the contract, But they're gonna receive the benefit
of it. That's what he's saying here. He's saying, I'm
gonna give you such a blessing that it's too big

(33:17):
for you to receive. It's gonna have to pass down
to your descendants. Can you imagine God giving you a
blessing so big that you didn't have room to receive it,
and it had to pass down to your descendants, And
despite all the trouble they went through and ins fight,
all the trouble you went through, God still brought it
to pass. Doesn't that make you want to jump up

(33:38):
and shout? Doesn't that make you want to say, I
am the Seed of Abraham. Doesn't that make you want
to rejoice in the God of your salvation. It does
if you receive it. It doesn't if you don't believe it.
It doesn't do a thing for you. If you don't
believe it, It won't lift you up one hour. If
you don't believe it, you can click me right off.

(33:59):
If you don't, you can go on and watch TV.
If you don't believe it, you can walk away from
the screen if you don't believe it. But if you
believe it, and if you receive it, the stuff I'm
talking about it's the stuff that makes champions and makes
kings and makes warriors and makes people victorious. If you
receive it, it's yours. Abraham woke up rich. He woke

(34:26):
up to everything. He woke up to land that wasn't
his before. He woke up with a clear blueprint for
his destiny. He woke up with it. And sometimes I
think that's better than stuff. He woke up with an understanding.
In all not getting get an understanding. To wake up
with an understanding is a big deal, because his life

(34:47):
is crazy and it's weird, and strange stuff happens, and
sometimes you don't know what's going to happen next, and
that uncertainty is stressful. But Abraham didn't wake up with
no uncertainty. He woke up with surety. He woke up
with an assurance. He woke up with an understanding. Nothing
good or bad surprised him because he had been with God.

(35:12):
If you've been with God, he'll let you know some things.
He'll let you know. There's some parents out there. You
already know some things. Your children are gonna go through.
You already know it. You can see it coming down
the track hadn't happened yet. But you already know it.
You look at your grandkid, Lol, Hoody Boody's so cute,
little blessed little heart. But you already could tell certain
little things already, you already know it. Abraham woke up

(35:34):
with a knowing. Oh God, let me have a knowing.
Let me have an understanding. Let me have a sense
of what you have in store for me, so I
don't waste time in years and decades of my life
fanning away.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Stuff that don't matter.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Avon was busy fanning away things that had nothing to
do with his destiny. Not one of those fowls he
was swinging at could stop the Covenant of God from
coming to pass. And I want you to hear me today,
because sometimes we're putting our energy in the wrong place.
We're so busy trying to find away what doesn't matter

(36:16):
that we miss what does matter. And God said, go
to bed, not only go to bed, go to sleep,
not only go to sleep, go to a deep sleep.
Because I don't need your talent. I don't need your skill.
I don't need your friends, I don't need your contact.
I don't need your degree, I don't need your education.
I don't need anything You thought I needed to bless you.
When I get ready to bless you, I will bless

(36:39):
you anyway.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
I cannot tell you.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
How many people came up who could sing better than
other people, who became world renowned singers. And I hear
him singing and doing the albums and doing projects in
our post stage, and everybody's screaming. And I know people
back her, frying fish in the back of a church
would say you under the table. And I say, Lord,
how did you put her on stage? And this woman

(37:05):
back here, frying, this catfish could sing the paint off
the wall. And the answer is this not by might
nor by power, but it's by my spirit, saith the Lord.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
I bring up one and I take down another.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
It's not your talent, it's not your intellect, it's not
your pedigree, your background, it's none of that. It is
the sovereignty of God. That's what controls the whole thing.
And God is made of covenant. And he'll make bad
sound good. He'll make weak sound strong. He'll make poor

(37:41):
look rich. When God gets ready to bless you, he'll
change the ear of the hero the eyes of the beholder.
When God's got something for you, he'll make them choose
you because he's sovereign. Will you receive it? Will you
receive it right now? Can you receive it in the
middle of a pandemic? Can you receive it without a job?

(38:01):
Can you receive it without a husband? Can you receive
it without a wife? Can you receive it without credentials?
Can you receive it without any signs of it? Can
you just receive it? Can you just wake up and
receive it? Can you wake up and receive it without
arguing and saying, Lord, I'm gonna need some proof, and
I'm gonna need some signs, and I need no, no, no,
no no.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Can you just receive it?

Speaker 1 (38:28):
That's what the contract is, That's what the companyt is.
It is something to be received. It is something to
be received, taken into your spirit. Now, let's go deeper
into this. Go to Exodus chapter two, verse twenty three,
verse twenty five, and I'm gonna show you what this
has to do with the passover. Because God has told
Abraham that he was gonna bring his descendants out, and

(38:51):
they were gonna come out with great substance. God has
said that the people that they were under were going
to afflict them, but he was gonna bring them out.
He has told Abraham about Moses. Abraham never met Moses.
But God said, I've already got delivered, So I've already
got a plan. I already got a strategy. Moses' mother

(39:14):
isn't born, his father isn't born, He's not alive. He's
four hundred years down the track. But God already knows him.
Do you not know that God knows you? Before your
grandmother met your grandfather. God knew you. He ordained you,
He sactified you to be in this world. They couldn't
have brought you. They couldn't miscarry you, quit, death couldn't

(39:34):
kill you. The disease that attacked you when you was
young and couldn't destroy you because God willed you to
be here. And there you are, sitting up here, said
I don't know if he loves me? Are you crazy?
Are you out of your mind? If he didn't love you,
you wouldn't be here. He willed you here, He allowed

(39:56):
you to come, He designed it for you, He predestined you.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
He far knew you.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
Get it in your head, get it in your spirit.
The problem with the church today we walk in our
feelings and not in the word. The only word we
get is the preacher preaching, and we just picked that
up on Sunday morning, and we pick up the little
cliches and we tweet them out, but we don't get the.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Word in here.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
And so our minds are sick, and our heart is sick,
and our life is overwhelmed, and we're stretched out because
we don't receive what God said. We receive what the
newspaper said, what's seeing in and Fox said, what MSNBC said.
You need to receive first and foremost, what God said
about you, Not the girls on the back of the
school bus, not the ladies at the hairdressers, not the

(40:47):
being in the barbershop, not the haters on the blog side.
You are who God says you are. You can do
what God says you can do. You can have what
God says you can have. You can be what God says.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
You can be.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Do you receive it, because it doesn't do any good
to be an air if you don't receive it. I
can will them this desk, I can will them this computer.
I can will them this foe. I can will them
this light. But if they don't receive it, it won't
do them any good. How many precious promises has God

(41:19):
left you, but you've not received them because you're so
busy fanning the way, the buzzards around what you think
you laid out, that you miss out on what God
has for you.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
That's so good. Go to Exodus two, twenty three, twenty five.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Are you with me? Are you enjoying Bible Clay? I
know it's out of style. You don't hear it anymore.
You hear a lot of fluff and a lot of cliches,
and a lot of cute stuff, and a lot of
fancy stuff. But real substance teaching is gone out style.
But it allowed me to just leave little droppings for
people out there who are serious about getting ready, getting

(41:56):
to know their God. Most people just know church. They
don't know God. That's why when they close up the church,
they panic because all they knew was church. They didn't
know God. If you know God in the building, out
of the building, in the grocery store, on the sidewalk,
in the car, in the bus terminal, riding subway, it
don't matter where you are. The Holy Spirit to come
anywhere you are when you know God. But when all

(42:16):
you know is churches, that close the church, your hook
comp is down. My hook compan is not down. I
miss the saints. I love to say I can't wait
for us to all be in service again. But my
contact with God doesn't have anything to.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
Do with them. Ah.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
I knew Him before I knew them. That's what I'm
trying to get you. And it comes through knowing Him
and perceiving him and understanding him and embracing him through
his word. We're doing something good. So we understand a
little bit. Now, we understand a little bit about the contract,
just a little bit, just a little bit. You can't
go real deep in this little bit of time, but
just a little bit, we understand a little bit about it.

(42:51):
I'm wanna talk about the passover, what that has to do.
Exodus two twenty three, twenty five, And it came to
pass in the process of time that the king of
Egypt died. Now this is the fulfillment of what God
talked about in Genesis. We are four hundred years later.

(43:12):
The Abraham's descendants have been in Egypt because Joseph went
there first, and he opened up away for Jacob and
his sons and Abraham's descendants to come into Egypt. And
they've been there thirty years in peace. But it came
to pass in the process of tithe that the king
of Egypt died and the children of Israel side by

(43:32):
reason of the bondage, and they cried, and the crit
came up under God by reason of the body. See
what that means, is this the first pharaoh that remembered Joseph.
He was good too, Joseph's finally when they came. And
so they were actually in Egypt four hundred and thirty years.
But God just said in the previous text that they'd
being bondaged for four hundred years. It wasn't the first thirty.

(43:55):
The first thirty was cool. But when the pharaoh died
and his successor came men, he made slaves out of them,
and they went into bondage. But God had told Abraham
that too, He said that they would be afflicted. So
in Exodus chapter two, verse twenty three. And it came
to pass in the process of time that the king
of Egypt died and the children of Israel side by

(44:17):
reason of the bondage, And they cried, and their cry
came up under God by reason of the bondage. And
God heard their groaning, and God remembered, this is what
I want you to get. And God remembered his covenant
with Abraham. Ooh, I could shot right there. And God
remembered his covenant with Abraham. There's a couple of things

(44:39):
that want to break down about that. Remembered is an
anthropomorphic term. What does that mean? Bishop Jakes? Remembered is
an anthropomorphic term. An anthropomorphic term is when God describes
himself in a way that you can't understand, because his
attribute is something that you can't understand. The Psalmist said,

(45:01):
he covereth me with his feathers. But that doesn't mean
that God is a bird. The prophet said, his eyes
go to and fro through out the earth, who looking
for whom he may show himself strong too. But that
doesn't mean God's got eyeballs flying all around the planet.
It just means he's omniscient. But he knows you don't
know what it means to be omniscient, which is all knowing.

(45:24):
So he describes it as the eyes of the Lord
godon to and fro. When the Bible says God remembered,
it doesn't mean that God remember it like we forget.
It's just the closest way that he can break down
to you on your level what happened to him in
his spirit regarding Abraham. Abraham is dead. The skin worms

(45:48):
have eaten up his flesh. He's been dead a long time.
If we found his remains, they be skeletal. Four hundred years.
They be skeletal. The skin worms have eating up his
flesh and eating up his body. There's nothing left but bone.
God didn't have to keep his word to Abram. Abram
was dead, but even dead God was faithful. You didn't

(46:12):
hear that, even dead God was faithful. Oh my God,
Now I see why he went into a deep sleep.
Now I understand why it was inputting for him to
go into a deep sleep, because Abram was gonna be
dead and God was still gonna be doing it. He
was gonna be faithful to Abram, his lover. He's faithful

(46:34):
to a lover that's dead. This is the character of
your God. Abram is dead, he's gone, he's in the ground,
his flesh is corrupted. And God is still watching over
his covenant, his covenant that he made to Abraham. And

(46:57):
the Bible said, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham,
with Isaac and with Jacob, and God looked upon the
children of Israel, and God had respect under them. God
bless them because of who their forefathers were. There are
some blessings that you get that don't have anything to
do with you. They have something to do with somebody

(47:18):
prayed before you, and God just remembered what he promised
my grandmother. And God just remembered what he promised my
great grandmother, and all of a sudden, he has respect
under me because of them. So it is with you.
Some of the prayers you're praying right now, you're upset
because you don't see him right now. They're not for
right now. But God will remember what he promised you

(47:44):
and it will come to pass. Oh, this is good.
This is good, this is faith building. We're in Exodus.
If you just turned us on, we're in Exodus, chapter two,
verse twenty three through twenty five. You miss Genesis. You
gotta go back and watch the whole thing, because if
you don't see how Genesis connects with the Exodus, you
miss the mastery of the texts. The mastery of the

(48:07):
text is not the isolated truth, but it is the
interweaving of revelation in a concerted effort that becomes a
quilt that warms the doubts of our souls and causes
us to stand in realms of reality that are forbidden
to those who only glance at the Word. You'll never
understand the revelation of God glancing at the Word. But

(48:28):
when you weave and stitch the Word together and begin
to understand the strategies of God, the providence of God,
the purpose of God, it changes the complexities of life.
So you got to go back and you got to
check out what I was teaching in Genesis, so you
can understand what's so good about Exodus. God remembered the

(48:50):
smoking furnace and the burning lamp, and God remembered the
bullocks and the doves, and the turtle doves and the pigeons.
Of God remembered the ghosts, and he remembered walking through
the blood. The blood, the blood, the blood, the blood,
the blood, the blood.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
The blood.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
Covenant is his strong as covenant. You can make no wonder.
God couldn't forget it. It was a blood covenant. It
was a blood covenant. Write that down. It was a
blood covenant. It was a blood covenant. In Genesis. It's
going to be a blood covenant in Exodus, and God
remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob.

(49:27):
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God
had respect unto them. Let's go down a little further.
I'm down in verse twenty seven. That ye shall say,
it is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover, who passed
over the house of the children of his And this
is how God plungs it.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
He said.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
Okay, I'm getting ready to bring you out, he said,
and I'm going to do it in such a way.
I want every man to have a lamb for his house.
Every man to have a lamb for his house. Every
man to have a lamb for his house, every house
of a lamb. And God said, I want you to
slay the lamb, and I want you to put it
on the doorposts and on the lintel. And that ye

(50:07):
shall say, it's a sacrifice. It is the sacrifice of
the Lord's passover Pascal.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
It is.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
It is the sacrifice of the Lord's Pascal who passed
over the houses of the children of Israel. In Egypt,
when he smoked the Egyptians and delivered our houses, he said,
he said, you're gonna make it because of this blood,
and I am going to cause the death Angel to
come through, and it's going to pass over. Hence the

(50:38):
word passover, Pascal, it's going to it's going to pass
over you. The curse will not come now you're a
dwelling place. It's going to pass over you. And the
people bowed their heads and worshiped, and the children of
Israel went away and did as the Lord had commanded.
Moses and Aaron, so did they. They all did it.

(50:59):
They all covered house with the blood, blood on the linil,
blood on the door posts. They all did the same
thing because God was honoring the blood. And it came
to pass that at midnight, the Lord smote all the
first all the first born in the land of Egypt,
from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne
unto the firstborn of the captives that was in the dungeon,

(51:21):
and all the firstborn of the cattle. God killed everything
that was firstborn, and Pharaoh rose.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Up in the night.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
When Pharaoh woke up, his firstborn child was dead. And
when he listened out of the window, all over Egypt,
mama's was screaming, Daddy's was crying, the firstborn child was
all dead, and Pharaoh sat up on his throne, and

(51:51):
the first born of the captives that was in the dungeon,
and all the first born of the cattle, and Pharaoh
rose up in the night, he and all his servants
and all the Egyptian and there was a great crime
in Egypt. God is ticked. God is saying, let my

(52:11):
people go. For there was not a house where there
was not one dead. There was not a house in
all of Egypt where there was not one dead, not
one house except for those that were under the blood.
Because when the Death Angel got to that house, he

(52:34):
passed over. He passed over that house, not because God
was playing favorites. He passed over that house because the
blood was assigned to the death Angel. That death had
already been there. This is the sacrificial pascal lamb. This

(52:55):
is the sacrificial lamb of God. This is God substituting
the blood of the animal for the blood of the child.
So the Death Angel killed everything. There was blood in
every house, but on some houses it was the blood
of the lamb standing in substitution. That's what pass over means.

(53:18):
He passed over that house because death had already been there.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Every other house was screaming and.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Crying, But in the house of the Hebrews, they were
sheltered up under the blood. That's why the old folks
used to tell you, plead the blood, because you want
to be sheltered up under the blood. And the children
of Israer did according to the word of Moses, verse
thirty five. And they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver. Yeah,

(53:51):
and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver and jewels.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
Of gold and Raymond.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight
of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such
things as they required. And they spoiled, they emptied the
Egyptian They took everything. God made the Egyptians like them
long enough for the transference of wealth. Remember in Genesis,
remembering Genesis when God said, afterward they shall come out

(54:18):
in great with great substance. This is God fulfilling his word.
This is the wealth of the unjust laid up for
the just. This is the season that we're in right now.
You can either sit in your house and scream and
cry and being fred and worry and talk about you

(54:38):
didn't get to live, and you didn't get to go
to this, and you didn't get to see a movie,
and you didn't get to.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Do the other.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Or you can begin to understand and strategize what God
is getting ready to do next in your life, because
God is up to something. Everybody else was screaming and
crying and weeping and well, but over these houses God
passed over. Why did God pass over you? Over one

(55:08):
hundred thousand some people dead already in our country alone?
Why did God pass over you? It wasn't because you
were know better. I happen to know some of those
people that died, Some of them were good people. Why
did God pass over you? You owe it to yourself
to find out why. You owe it to yourself to

(55:30):
get a deeper revelation of why He allowed you to live.
God has a purpose for your life, and you better
start walking in that purpose, and you better start playing
around with that purpose. Had you better get down to
business with that purpose. Because you could have been in
a box and a refrigerator on the side of the
road somewhere in New York.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
You could have been in the overflow room of some
funeral home.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
But God let you live. You owe it to yourself
to find out why. Not because you're good. It's not
because you're perfect. It's not because I'm good. It's not
because I'm perfect. If that were the case, I'd have
been dead long time ago. But there is a reason
that God let me live. And there's a reason that

(56:14):
God lets you live. And you gotta understand why why
he passed over you and your child and your family.
There's a reason God passed over you. And if you
just use this time to belly ache about what's gonna

(56:36):
happen next and how you miss the church and you
gotta get back to work and you don't have any
extra money to buy extra bread and d d da
da da da da da dada. If you use this
time just just talk up on the toilet paper, you
are crazy, crazy, flat up. I know that's not nice.
I know that's not polite, but it's right. You're crazy.
If you don't ask yourself, why did you let me live?

(57:00):
Why am I still here? There are young people dead,
there are babies dead. You're thirty years old. There are
thirty year old people that got the virus that died.
Why are you still here? Why did he pass over?
You now the sojourney of the children of Israel who

(57:22):
dwell in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years. In
Genesis it was four hundred, and Exodus is four hundred
and thirty because in Exodus he counts the free years
as well as the four hundred years of bondage. Are
you getting this? Are you getting this? There's some commonalities

(57:44):
between Egypt, between Exodus and between Genesis. Both of them
are bloody. Both of these stories is high sci fi
blood every word type of movie. Both of them are official.
Both of them have God in control of a situation

(58:04):
where the people are powerless and God is in ultimate control.
Both of them are built on one promise that God
gave a man named Abram that he remembered and consequently
he saved them through the blood. He promised through the blood.
He saved them through the blood. He passed over them
through the blood. Both of them are the recipients of

(58:26):
a blessing that they didn't earn. They just received it
and it became theirs. Are you seeing a pattern here?
What does that have to do with where you are
right now? It has everything to do with where you
are right now. It has everything to do with how
you perceive your relationship with God. It has everything to

(58:48):
do with what you are happy about and what you
clap about and what you shout about. God is trying
to get you to grow up. So you stop shouting
because they put some red bottom shoes on sel, And
you stop shouting because you got extra money back from
your tax return. Then you stop shouting because you got
a discount on a coach you saw you like. All

(59:11):
of that is foolishness. God is trying to get you
back into praising him because he passed over you, because
the blood secured you, because he anchored you, because he
made a way for you, because he established you. Because
you escaped. You escaped, you're not glad about that. You

(59:35):
let what your neighbor said about you stop you from
having joy, and you escaped. You might as well.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
Have died if you wasn't gonna live. Why live?

Speaker 1 (59:48):
If you're gonna be bitter and evil and frustrated and
complaining and mad and fussing about stuff that don't matter,
why be alive? There is not one person right now
on a respirator that wouldn't trade places with you in
a heartbeat, Not one, not one. They love to have

(01:00:14):
your problem, they figure a way to work it out.
They figure a way to fix it. They figure a
way to escape, They figure a way to change it.
But they want to be able to breathe. Let everything
that have one breath, Praise ye the Lord.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
You breathing.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
You got work to do. Come on, let's go to
my third phrase. I'm almost finished. I'm taking you to
communion John The Gospel of Saint John, chapter thirteen, verse
one through six. I'm gonna tie all of this up.
I'm gonna weave it. I'm gonna weave it till I
tie it up. Now before the feast of the Passover. Oh,
there's that word again, before the feast. Now the passover,

(01:00:54):
it was just a passover. Now it's a feast. It's
become an annual. It has become a continual celibate of
the Passover. Whenever they celebrated the Passover, they reminisced on
what God had done for them.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
Let's stop right there.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
Whenever they had the passover, they reminisced on what God
had done for them. When was the last time you
just reminisced over what God has done for you? How
much have you taught your children to praise God over
what God has done for you? Or have you taught
them to be bitter and to complain and to fuss,

(01:01:30):
and to talk about the church people, and to fuss
about the people at work, and to argue with your husband,
and to kick the dog and slap the cat. Now
they continued to praise God over what he had done,
now thousands of years ago, and they are still praising
God about it. And yours is five years ago, and

(01:01:53):
you don't say nothing about it all. Yours was ten
years ago, and you're through with it. You don't mention
it anymore. Yours was twenty years ago. Can you have
stopped having a feast already?

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
Before the feast of the Passover? When Jesus knew that
his hour was come and that he should depart out
of this world unto the Father, having loved his own
which were in the world. Talking about his disciples, he
loved them unto the end, and suffer being ended. The
devil having now put into the heart of Judas is
Cauriate Simon's son to betray him. Jesus knowing knowing Jesus,

(01:02:29):
knowing Jesus, knowing Jesus knowing Jesus knowing that the Father
had given all things into his hands, and that he
was come from God and went to God. See, Jesus
knew it's what you know that determines how you react
to what's around you. He rithered from the supper and
laid aside his garments, and took a towel and girded himself.
And after that he poured water into a basin and

(01:02:51):
began to wash the disciples feet and to wipe them
with the tow wherewith he was girded. And then he
cometh he to Simon Peter, and Peter says under him, Lord,
dost thou wash my feet? Simon Peter therefore beckoned to
him that he should ask who it should be of
whom he spake. He then, lying of Jesus. He then,

(01:03:13):
lying on Jesus' breast, says that to him, Lord, wasn't
I they're trying to figure out who it is. Jesus
is washing feet, and they're trying to figure out who
it is. Oh, my god, if they're still trying to
figure out who it is when Jesus was washing feet,
that means Jesus had to wash Judas's feet. Jesus had

(01:03:38):
to wash the feet of the guy who sold him
out for thirty pieces of silver. Wow, and you're not speaking.
And Jesus got down on his knees, girded himself with fatalo,

(01:03:59):
and washed his enemy's feet the same way he washed
the rest of their feet. And you roll your eyes
and you put a little nasty notes on your Instagram
to let them know that you're talking about them because
you don't like them. And Jesus girded himself with a
towel and got down on his knees and washed their feet.

(01:04:24):
Even Judas, Jesus answered he, it is to whom I
shall give a sop when I have dipped it. And
when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas,
his Curiod, the son of Simon.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
He fed him.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
He washed the feet of his enemies, and he fed them.
You know, the only way you can wash the feet
of your enemies and feed them is when you know
who you are, and you know who you are, and
you know where you're going, and you know that whatever
they did to you is only going to usher you

(01:05:09):
into the purpose of God. Ex husband or not, ex
wife or not. You know that all things work together
for good you know the end from the beginning. You
know the promise is going to be kept. That God
will remember his word, whether you're living or dead, whether

(01:05:30):
you're stretched on a cross or not. You know that
God will not forget you. Say that, God will not
forget me. Say it again. God will not forget me.
Say it again. God will not forget me. So Jesus

(01:05:50):
told told Judas, what thou do is do it quickly. Now,
no man at the table knew for what intil he
spaked this under him. He didn't turn it out, he
didn't turn them against him. He didn't try to get
it get him before he goes. I probably would have
done that. Jesus didn't do that. He spoke to him

(01:06:11):
and Cole said, hurry up, I know you got things
to do. Be quick about it. And he knew Judas
was going to kill him. Having crucified, from the Communion
to the Passover to the Covenant, what happens with the Communion.
Jesus has now become the Lamb. He has become the

(01:06:35):
sacrificial lamb that covers Us, that consoles us, that protects us.
It was the Passover. He is the Lamb. We are
the tabernacles, he covered, and because he died, death passes

(01:07:00):
over us. I'm gonna stop right there. I'm gonna stop
right there, because Sunday I plan to preach about Pentecost.
Pentecost sets its watch from the passover. You cannot have

(01:07:23):
Pentecosts without Passover. It is exactly fifty days after Passover
that Pentecost comes. So when the Bosble says, when the
day of Pentecost was fully come, it sets its watch
with passover, and fifty days later you're at Pentecost. This

(01:07:47):
coming Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. Now, I grew up at
the Baptist church, and my father's people were a and
me my mother's people were Baptists, and we hardly ever
heard anything about Pentecost Sunday. We heard a lot about Easter,
which represented Passover. They taught us about the passover, but
they didn't teach us about Pentecosts. This coming Sunday, I'm

(01:08:12):
going to be talking to you about Pentecost, Pentecosts, the
power of Pentocosts, what it means, why it means, and
while only those who have been through Passover are eligible.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
For Pentecosts. Can I pray with you?

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
Because I think there's some things that God wants to
pass over you. And I sense in my sphere that
there's some people that are worried about some impending dangers,
and I want to pray for it to pass over you.
And I think there are some people out there that
are stretched out and worried. And maybe you haven't been
as grateful, maybe you have not had a feast to
celebrate the things that have passed over you because you're

(01:08:56):
so worried about the things that are confronting you. Right
now in the presence from God, I want you to stop.
I just want you to stop. And you don't have
to knock over the dining room table, and you don't
have to kick over any chairs, and you don't have
to collapse on the floor.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
I just want you to receive it. I just want
you to lift your hands where you are and open your.

Speaker 1 (01:09:20):
Heart and receive from God what He has for you.
Even in the midst of the death outside your doors,
and the crying and the worrying, and the mask and
the PPEs and the news and the stress and the

(01:09:41):
pressure and the elements that have been rising against you,
I just want you to receive. If you can if
you will. If you're a backslidder, I want you to
receive Christ. If you're a sinner, I want you to
accept Christ into your life. And if you're a Christian,
I want you to receive Him the more life and
allow Him to rest and rule and to abide in

(01:10:03):
your heart forever. I'm not asking you to do nothing orse.
I'm asking you to open up it and just receive.
And if you open up your heart, I want to
pray for you tonight. I want to pray for what's
worrying you. I want to pray for what's eating at you.

(01:10:24):
I want to pray for what scares you. I want
to pray for the sound of crying outside your door.
Father in Jesus, name my boma my head before you.
I'm so grateful to you for the mercies that you
have allocated to all of us said we did not deserve.
I pray first of all for those that bore than

(01:10:46):
those that are suffering and those that are weeping, and
those that lost loved ones, and those that are fighting
for their lives and those who are serving them. I
pray for them always and try not to ever forget.
To ask you to bless all of those who put
themselves in the harms way that we might be safer
or fed, or closed, or blessed or better. But then

(01:11:07):
I pray for those who are watching me right now,
that in the deep its and most personal way, that
you would open up that invisible door that sometimes we
don't even know how to reach, and open it up
so that we can receive what you have for us.
I am so grateful that you thought enough. You didn't
have to give us a contract. You gave us a contract.

(01:11:29):
We are covenant people. We have a covenant with you.
You promised to bless us, You fix the end from
the beginning. I want to thank you for the things
that passed over us. And I want to thank you
because Christ through the Communion, it's my Pascal Lamb, my passover,

(01:11:49):
my sacrifice, the one who stood in for me. Because
of him, we fooled the death Angel. The death Angel
didn't get me because the blood was there as a sident.
Death had already been to my house. And I thank
you for the substitution, and I thank you for the
fact that he stood in my place and made up
the difference.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
And I pray in the name of.

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
Jesus that every backslader would come running back to you,
because every sign is telling them that they're running out
of time. And I pray God that they come running,
not walking, running back to you, flowed, broken, bruised, crippled.

Speaker 2 (01:12:27):
Lame, halted. I don't care, come back.

Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
Now. I pray for every sinner who's skeptical and made
excuses and had their feelings harding, been walking in their
feelings and walking in their flesh that day, would just
please get over it and come back to you and
allow you to do a fresh sting at their heart
and in their spirit. I pray for every business owner
who's worried to different, every pastor who's at his wits end,

(01:12:55):
and everybody who feels like giving up, and everybody who
can't even find consolate in their own house, that they
would find it in your word. And I pray that
you would heal them and bless them and set them
free in Jesus' name. Amen, man, I had a good

(01:13:19):
time talking to you tonight out the word of God.
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
I hope it blessed you more importantly, I hope it
fed you. I hope you're falling in love with God's
Word and starting to understand things about the Word that
you never understood before. I hope it touched you in
a deep way.

Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:13:37):
To all of you that were just mildly interested, thank
you very much, God bless you, take care, have a
nice eming to those of you who were deeply touched.
To those of you who were deeply touched, To those
of you who are starting to understand that holy things
are not human things. That there's a difference between Church

(01:14:00):
and God. That there's a difference between fan and buzzards
and receiving promises. That there's a difference between the frantic
screams of those who don't know Jesus and the deep
confidence of those of us who are hunkered up under
the blood. That there's a difference between the feet of
Judas and the hands of Jesus. You're starting to see

(01:14:25):
the difference between holy things and human things. To those
of you, that God touched you in a special way.
So us seed Planet sacrifice. There's not much of this
kind of teaching left before I leave the earth. I
want to pass it on to you. Will you receive

(01:14:50):
it as I come into the autumn or the winter
of my life. I want to impart spiritual knowledge and
understanding into your heart that this gospel will continue to
be preached around the world. There's a difference between holy

(01:15:10):
things and human things. But Paul says, if I give
you my holy things, you should sew your human things.
Why because you see the value. And if you don't
see the value, please ma'am, please sir, don't do it.
But if you see the value it touched you in

(01:15:31):
a special way and made it easier for your counselor,
or made you not need a therapist, or made you
able to persevere, or help you to make a decision
in your life. And this was a special word, then
you should sow a special seed. And I want to
bless that, and then I'm gonna let you go home.

Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
Father.

Speaker 1 (01:15:50):
I don't even know the reason that they're shwing. I
don't even know the circumstances. I don't know the details.
I don't even know what was in the mail that
I delivered. I am the male man. I brought the mail,
but they opened up the letter. I don't know what
was in it. But if it impacted them in such
a way, did they feel touched to so on to
this moment, on whatever level you told them this on,
if it impacted them in this way, I pray that

(01:16:12):
this word would not stop with the end of this broadcast,
but they would go back over those motes and they
would go back and hear this message again. They would
go back untill they were sure that they had breefed
it in every bit of it, every drop of it,
every house of it, that they had ingested it and
digested it and appropriated it for their lives. I pray

(01:16:33):
that this word would not slip, but it would bring
about a change in their lives. And Father, I finally
pray that when they go to work tomorrow, they get
up tomorrow, they deal with whatever they've got to deal
with tomorrow, that they would know the difference between holy
things and human things. Holy things are not human things.

(01:16:59):
And Jesus name, we pray. Heymen, let me hear from
you here. I'm on Facebook, I'm on Twitter, I'm on Instagram.
I'm on everything that they got out there except TikTok okay.

Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
I have not done TikTok okay, but.

Speaker 1 (01:17:16):
Everything else I'm out there and I'm looking and I'm reading,
and I'm waiting to hear from you. I want to
hear from you. Talk to me, ask me questions, tell
me what's spoke to you. Tell me what failed you,
Tell me what you didn't understand. Let's go deeper in
this word of God. I love teaching the Word of God.
I want to see you grow. I want to see
you take it and preach it and minister it and
share it. Take those notes and use it and study

(01:17:39):
from it and grow from it and become everything that
God has called you to be from it. I want
you to have it. And God wants to tell you
a secret. The secret of the Lord is with him
that fear him. He wants to give you some secrets.
Listen out. He's gonna talk to you about how to
maneuver through times like these. Have a great, great, great

(01:18:00):
day tomorrow. I know that this old preacher from Dallas,
Texas is praying.

Speaker 2 (01:18:07):
That you win. Have a good night tonight. Take care,
