Speaker 1 (00:00):
Alast, and didn't my savior bleed, And didn't my sovereign die?
Would he devote his sacred head for such a worm
as I have the cross at the cross where I
first saw the light, and the burdens of my heart
rolled away. It was die by faith I received my sight,
and now I am happy all the day.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
He seized.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Greetings, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am glad to have the
opportunity to share some TDJ classics with you that will
really bless your life for such a time as is today.
We're going to share with you that's called hidden Mysteries.
That's the Cross.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Take a look.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Jesus didn't come because he like barns. He didn't come
so some three old men could bring him bags and gifts.
Whatever they brought to him. Here already own whatever you
give God, He's already got. He is full and lacking nothing.
He owns everything. You can add nothing to God. He
(01:12):
was born to die. He understood that to go from
life to abundant life, he had to go through a
death to do it. He came here with an agenda.
He wasn't just wandering around to see what happens. When
they tried to stop him from dying, Peter tried to
he say, hey, Peter, get behind.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Me, you devil.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Don't try to stop me from getting in trouble. I
came to get in trouble. That doesn't sound like most
Christians today, because we talk about if you really believe God,
bless God, you won't go through nothing. Just stand on
the word bless God, and you won't have to go
through anything. Believe God's words. God don't want you to
go through nothing. Brother, if you just stand on the word,
you're just you don't have to go through no persecution, nothing,
just staying just daying bless God and rebuke the devil.
(01:59):
You want go through anything, you're not following Jesus.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Jesus went through a cross. You said you're following.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
If any man be my disciple, pick up his cross,
not his cadillac, pick up his cross. Oh, I had
(02:27):
messed you up. Read on fy make everybody mad. I
don't want to make it any.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Father, glorify thy name.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Then came there a voice from heaven saying I have
both glorified it and would glorify it again. The people
Therefore that stood by and heard it said that it thundered.
Others said an angel spect.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I'm not even supposed to be talking about this, but
this is an awesome moment because the Father spoke so
loud that the people around them heard it. Anytime the
voice of Divine becomes so strong that people around you
can hear it, that is strong. Some thought they heard
a voice, some thought they heard thunder, But Jesus knew
it was the Father speaking.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
That's powerful.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
There are some things that God will saying in your
life so strong that people around you know that God
said something to you. They don't know what he said,
but they know he said something to you. They can't
deny that God has spoken something in your life when
it gets strong enough to even the people on your job.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
No, I heard something. It's something about her.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I don't know what it is. I heard something. I
thought it was thunder. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
Come on, let me get to it. Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Jesus answered and said, this voice came not because of me,
but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world?
Now should the prince of this world be cast out?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
He said, Now I'm getting ready to whip up on
the devil. This is a judgment of the world. I'm
getting ready to put my foot on his head. Ooh,
that's kind of going back to Genesis. I'm getting ready
to tear his hind end up. We getting ready to
throw down. The cross was a fight. It was conflict
(04:17):
between good and evil. It was a powerful war. It
was so powerful that the ground tremble and the sun
couldn't look at it. He triumphed over the powers of
the enemy on the cross. You talking about spiritual warfare
at his best. Spiritual warfare at his best. His sacrifice
(04:39):
from the flesh, and Christ did it with excellence.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
He died.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
He said, I am getting ready to put the devil
in his place.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Come on, and.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I if I be lifted up from the earth.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
And I if I'd be lifted up from the earth,
all my if I be lifted up, Oh, that kind
of ties in with that other scripture we read. And
even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wildern,
so should the son of Man be lifted up. And
now Christ says, if I if I be lifted up
from the earth, what will he do?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Will draw all men?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
He said, I will he says, I will get more
done when I'm lifted up on the cross than I
did walking on water, heeling the shick, raising the dead,
and preaching the five thousand, and making fish sandwiches.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
He said, I'm gonna get more done when I am
lifted up as a serpent was lifted up. He said
that my worst hour is gonna be my finest hour.
I'm gonna look like I'm completely defeated. They're gonna mock me,
spit in my face, pull my beard out, make fun
of me, call me the king of the Jews, and.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Cast lucks for my garment.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
It's gonna look like I'm completely spoiled, fell dementded, and depleted,
he said. But I am going to get more done
at that moment than I did in all of my victory.
And all of you laying down palms before me and
everybody singing Hosanna, none of it's going to do as
much for me. My worst hour is going to be
my best hour. And if I if I be lifted
(06:13):
up from the earth, I will draw all being under me.
We've been all the way back to Genesis. We understand
clearly what the serpent is that the serpent is the.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Symbol of evil.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
But we've got to underline this one incident where Moses
lifted up the serpent.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Verse four, and.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
They journeyed from out horror by the way of the
Red Sea to compass the land of Edom, and the
soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way,
and the people speck against God.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Okay, they were discouraged. They're trying to get to the
promised land. They're out in the middle of the wilderness.
They became discouraged because of the way God took them.
Has God ever taken you away that was discouraging. I'm
not discouraged with God. I'm discouraged with the way he's
taking me. You know, I love the Lord.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I just don't like this way he's taking me.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Surely there's a better way for you to get me
here than to take me through this. You know, why
do I have to go through all of this? Theme
like to me that there would be a way that
you could bless me with. I me had to deal
with all of these hardship and go through all of
this stuff. It don't make no sense. I mean, I
all I'm living better than I ever lived before. I
(07:28):
go to church, I sing in the choir, I work
under us boy, and I don't seem like I said,
I have to go through this stuff I'm going through.
And they call that prayer. That's not prayer. That's a
complaint box. That's not prayer. That's not prayer. I hate
to talk to people that don't do nothing but whine.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I don't mind.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
If you got a problem, you need to talk about
a problem. But if every time I see you got
a problem.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
When I see you, I go the other way. I say, oh,
excuse me, I was God.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I'd avoid some of you because you're always mad about something,
upset about some complaining about something.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I would avoid you. You get on your knees, I'd
tip out of fifty.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Just pray. I'll check it out later. Send me an email.
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Read on and the people spake against God and against Moses.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
What or have you.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay, they were discouraged because of the way. Then they
start talking, having conversations. They spake against God and against Moses.
There is some camaraderie against rebellion against God and rebellion against.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Who he sent. Those two things go together.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
It's hard to be out of fellowship with God and
being fellowship with who God sent. They spake against God,
and they spake against motheres.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Come on, but there is no bread, neither is there
any water.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Wherefore have you brought us up out of Egypt to
die in the wilderness, for there is no bread, neither
is there any water.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Come on, And I've so loathed this light bread, and.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I'm sick of what you provided for me. I'm sick
of being single. My soul loathed this light bread. I'm
sick of the job you gave me. I'm sick of
the body you gave me. I don't like the body
(09:47):
you gave me. I hate my hair. How come I'm
not better looking? I'm sick of the wife you gave me.
I'm sick of it these kids you gave me. My
soul loathes what you have provided. I don't like what
(10:07):
you gave me. All y'all knowing to be shouting by now,
I better hear them hit something good or it's just
gonna be a dead night tonight. Some of you look
like you've just been caught robbing of seven to eleven.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I'm sick of it.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Have you ever bought people something and they never did
appreciate nothing. I'm sick of these kids. They won't pick
up their socks. Never mind that they're healthy, never mind
that they're in their right mind. Never mind that you
bless me to have a safe pregnancy, never mind that
you bless me to feed them in clothing. I'm upset
about socks. They won't pick up their socks, they won't
(10:54):
put their dirty underclothes in the hamber. I'm sick of
these kids. My soul loatheth this light bread. I'm sick
of driving this car, never mind that you didn't even
used to have no car. I'm sick of going to school.
(11:18):
You prayed and prayed and prayed that God would open
up a door for you to go to school, And
now I'm sick of all I do all the time,
and sit up in this class.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
My soul loatheth this light bread.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
And got the nerve to call yourself going to a
Thanksgiving service. One of the most wicked things you can
be is to be unthankful. Read on, They mad at me,

He said, I'm sick of you die.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
He did.

Speaker 3 (15:15):

Speaker 4 (15:16):
Therefore, the people came to Moses and said, we have sinned.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
You see, if you just think.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
About stuff when you read the Bible, it comes to life.
You won't fall asleep reading your Bible. You didn't think
about it. Almost all them dead and a few jokers.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Had left coming. Must you know? I just if I.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Said anything that hurt your feelings, I just want you
to know, you'd be surprised how people repent when everybody died.
You eating some potatoes and everybody who ate and died,
you say, I don't want no more.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I had enough of that. Praise God.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Read on, But we have spoken against the Lord.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
If I said anything about you, it might have heard
I said something important that you know what it is.
That's how people come to you. They've been talking about
you like a junk yard dog if I said anything
that I said, and said, but you forgive me. Then
talked about your mama and all your kid people and everything.
(17:00):
People ain't changed, no matter what color you are, no
matter what culture you are, no matter what age you are,
people have not changed. They just as crazy the day
as they ever was Amen again they say, he talking
about you? Yet read on sister praying.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
To the Lord. Did he take away the serpents from us?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Now?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
They spoke against the one who had to pray deliverance
on them. Over and over throughout Moses' life, Moses had
to pray for people who had dogged him. I mean
over and over everywhere them from Moses Marriam have been dead.
She spoke against his married if Moses, when I married
this black woman, his sister almost died. She almost had
a fit about him marrying this Ethiopian woman and got
to running off her mouth that she got leprosy. And
(17:49):
then the ones she been talking about had to pray
it off for. Be careful who you talk about, because
they may be the one who had to pray it
off you. And when people are talking about you, be
careful how you will allow them to upset you, because
God may need to use you to pray for them.
And if you get a spirit of bitterness, you can't
pray for people you're mad at. Come on, reading from it.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Sit and Moses prayed for the people.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
And the Lord said, unto Moses, make thee a fiery serpent.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
And Moses prayed for the people. He prayed for the people.
But they're still sick. They're still sick and dead and
down and out. And God says, make under thee a
fiery serpent.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Come on and set it upon a pole, and it's
your come to pass.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Get a serpent and a stick, a serpent and a stick.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Read on, and it's.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Your come to pass that everyone that is bitten when
he looked upon it shall live.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Lift that serpent up on that stick, and it shall
come to pass that every one that looketh upon that
raised up serpent.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Shall live.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And if I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
I'll draw all men under me. Even as Moses lifted
up the serpent in the wilderness, so shall the son
of Man be lifted up, And the seed of the
woman shall bruise his head, and he shall bruise his heel.
Here it is Christ lifted up on the cross for you.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Lasten.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Didn't my savior bleeding, didn't my sovereign die? Would he
devote his sacred head for such a worm as I
have the cross at the cross, when I first saw
the light and the burdens of my heart rolled away.
It was there by faith I received my sight, and
now I am happy all the day.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Oh you don't hear what I'm saying to underlable shock.
Now look at this.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Look, Oh God, we're getting down to the good. Pardon now,
because now they had been bitten by the same thing
that healed them.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Are you with me?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
They had been bidden by fiery servants, and God used
the same thing that bit them. So what happened is
when it came to redemption, Christ
