Speaker 1 (00:07):
Blessings everyone. I hope you guys are having a blessed
date in the Lord. I hope that I can be
a blessing to you if you're not, because God truly
says we must be happy in the Lord and we
must be free in God. And I am so thankful
to be here today to share this message because God
wially touched my soul this morning. I got up this
morning and God was speaking after I asked him something
less like toiling with it. And I want to share
(00:27):
something with you guys today because I think a lot
of people don't understand this, and they have to understand.
When you know the Lord, you'll start to understand it
better and better. Okay, let me explain something to you.
And this is why a lot of times I feel
like people in the faith are not really doing the
work of the Lord. They're doing their own work. And
this is why we got to go in prayer and
fasting and supplication ask the Lord to really search our
(00:47):
hearts and show us what we need to be and
what we need to be doing for Him that make
him proud, because truly, when you love the Lord, you
will go over and beyond for him no matter what
the cost. You're willing to sacrifice your life so that
you can live one for him. And so this is wonderful.
This is the one message I think that I have
not heard preached, and it needs to be delivered today. Okay,
(01:08):
so let's talk about relationship. Now. We've been talking about
a relationship with Christ and about how it's more important
to have a relationship with God and to worry about
all the things of the world. But that's the surface
way of preaching it. Let me share something a little
bit deeper with you, because when I discovered God, I
remember coming to Christ and God told me that I
love you in spite of anything you've ever done, all
(01:30):
your imperfections, where you come from, what you've done, I
love you, and I want to show you why I
love you. Okay, And so this is what we're missing today,
especially when it comes to ministry, any type of ministry.
A lot of people are looking for the performance, they're
looking for the deliverance, and so it's about relationship. The
(01:51):
most important thing that Jesus wants us to know is
that it was never about religion, never about the rules
that you follow. It was always about the relationship. Because
I tell you the truth. God says that a man
can do everything in religion. He could believe in dressing
a certain way, he can believe and not or she
(02:13):
can believe in not wearing makeup or not wearing her
hair a certain way. God is saying that all these
things a person can believe in. A person can want
to truly have every law down to the tea and
still not have a relationship with Christ because then you're
doing works, you're trying to follow a religion, You're doing
things every single day, but you're not getting closer to God.
(02:36):
You understand, don't am not religion to blind you where
you're not able to receive God the way that you should.
And let me explain something to you, because of course
it's great for us to want to do more for
the Lord, because yes, when you know the Lord, you
are going to be convicted about certain things. To say.
I know I shouldn't be doing this, but we have
to understand those who don't know Christ, they're coming into
(02:56):
the door. They're just getting new with the Lord. And
so a lot of the people that I am reaching
in this ministry, I know that I'm reaching people who
were like me, who were in the world who did entertainment,
who lived the life of sin, who went out the
clubs at some point, and they're lives. Some of you
probably still do. Some of you who are the younger
generation in my generation, who you know, you're still on
the fence and you feel like, why do I have
(03:17):
to stop doing this? And you want to be loved.
You don't have to stop doing anything to be loved.
God loves you anyway. But God is saying, when you
know the truth, he wants you to be able to
come out of sin, and when you truly discover who
he is, it's not gonna be a battle because you
truly love God. And let me explain this because I
want to make it very clear, because this is what
I started to find was really kind of bothering my spirit. Okay, Now,
(03:44):
a lot of us found Jesus when we needed something.
We were broken, tired, we were hurt, we were just
done right, and we knew that we needed him. We
knew deep down in our hearts, I need something, and
that we may not even have known even Jesus, but
we knew we needed something. And that's the first connection
that will pull you to make you feel that you know,
(04:08):
I know that my soul recognizes that I need a savior. Okay,
But as time goes on, we sometimes get caught up
in doing like the street ministry. I mean a lot
of you who are preaching the Gospel, or you might
be a pastor in a church. You're caught up into
the performances. You're caught up into people wanting to see you,
(04:29):
and you don't realize it, but you are. You're caught
up in wanting to give a stern message because I'm
doing this for the Lord, but yet it's your ego
in it. And let me just understand. Let me just
make this very clear. I'm not beating up on anybody's
method of how they preach, because every type of pastor
is needed for every particular type of situation. I'm not
taking nothing away from street ministry. I feel like street
ministry needs to be in force because there's a lot
(04:51):
of people who do know the Lord and they have
run away from God. They have lived a life of sin,
they backslid and they have not come and well, sometimes
you need to be out in the streets to catch
those people and say, look, you know the truth, come
back to God, get out of the way of sin.
But sometimes when you have new people coming in, those
people who don't know God and don't know they're in sin,
(05:12):
don't know that it's wrong for them to do what
they do. God is saying, let me introduce myself. God
gives a great introduction to what he could do for you.
When I was looking for someone to help me, or
I trying to understand, Lord, what are you trying to
do because I don't get it. When I was hurt,
I cried but didn't even know I needed a savior.
God is saying, let me be here to help you,
(05:34):
let me show you something. So by his love, I
was motivated to want to go seek him more, to
find out who he is, which is truth and to
be delivered. Nobody's gonna want to feel like they're damn
to hell and come into Christ for the first time.
They're not gonna want to feel like that. It's a
(05:57):
relationship relationship, and sometimes certain people might need something different.
They may not need the same approach that you feel
as for everybody. That's why I say you got to
be very very careful of how you're introducing yourself to people,
because your first impression can leave a bad impression. Remember
(06:20):
the first impression can cause someone not to want to
be a part of what God got going on because
they felt like they were done wrong by somebody who
was sent out here to do a message and it
clearly wasn't for that person, or whether it was delivered,
the message is still true, but the deliverance is also
something that it was just delivered wrong, and so now
(06:40):
it has them feeling like, I just don't feel like
that's for me. So sometimes we can be a hindrance
to the Kingdom of God by not being in the
right order or being in And that's what God says,
Let me lead you, let me show you where to go.
Simply be. Simply be, God tell them a lot, Just
(07:01):
simply be. I know what I have put inside of you.
I know you have the Word in you. I know
you have the spirit of Me and you. Wherever you go,
I will be there. I will put my spirit on
you that people will want to know who you are.
You don't have to do nothing more. You don't have
to do anything fancy, you don't have to do the
performances you All you have to do is to step
on the scene. Thank you, Lord Jesus stepped on the scene.
(07:21):
Thank you Father, Thank you Lord, and people were people
knew who he was by the spirit that lived in him.
It wasn't about all the things that he said, cutting
them down, making him feel not wanted. No, God says
the word hit because the spirit of God was in it.
I loved, I loved. I loved those people so much
(07:42):
that I even sat down with the very people that
people talked about. And then the Pharisees wanted the stone,
and the Pharisees talking about and saying, how could he
let a prostitute wash his feet with her hair. God
is saying in this paget that a prostitute was good
enough to wash his feet with her hair because she
had a heart of love for God. She had a
(08:03):
heart of love even though she came from a bad place.
God is saying, you are rebuking the people who will
one day have to be those people that will be
washing my feet with their hair. Symbolically, God is saying,
that's why no man should be so quick to judge
a person based off of where they come from. But
note that the heart saves. And it's gonna be very controversial,
(08:25):
but I'm telling you what I know. Trust in the
Lord with all your heart, and lean not to your
own understanding Proverbs three. Five. Let me share something that
God told me too, so that you can understand this story.
There was a story that God gave me about a
young man, and this young man grew up in a
(08:48):
home where his parents constantly told him that he was wrong,
that even when he was right, they still found fault,
and he never heard him proud of. He never was
told I love you, So he grew up needing to
prove that he was right all the time, even if
it meant that he was wrong. He didn't even care
if he was wrong. He just wanted to prove to
(09:09):
people I'm right, even if I'm wrong, I'm right. And
sometimes people grow up because they never really had love.
They were looking for something and they had to always
be proven that they were right because they were never
shown love. And sometimes some people do the extreme and
they never can be told they were wrong because a
mama did the wrong thing, and a mama made her
(09:30):
son believe that you're right even though you're wrong, and
there was no correction, because correction is love, you understand,
So some people they have a hard time admitting when
they're wrong because the pride in a man comes first,
and whatever a man has in his heart, it will
come out. And that makes a prideful man. Because a
prideful man who has never shown that he was loved,
(09:53):
it hardened his heart, and so he took love as
even if I'm wrong, I'm gonna still be right, you understand.
And so we can't necessarily blame this young man because
he does not know what love is or that because
(10:13):
he's this way. We gotta look at the person who
raised him up. Parents have a big responsibility. Your children
are not how they are because they're just simply how
they are. Yes, there's times that you did all you
could do in a spirit. Sometimes we'll overtake a person
and you have to pray that spirit out, and you
have to know this is a testing of your faith.
But at the end of the day, a lot of
(10:34):
the damage that comes to a person comes from how
they were raised, and the parents don't want to take
responsibility for it. They want to overlook it. A lot
of the men today who choose the gay lifestyle, a
lot of them say, I don't know who I am.
I never knew. The only way that I could connect
was from a mother's love. So I want to be
the one thing that loved me. You understand, you can't
(10:56):
blame someone for wanting to live what feels comfortable because
they don't know God. And if they do know God
in some degree, then God will work with them along
the way for them to find him. But at the
end of the day, God says that his will is
that no man should perish, even though we know that
even if the Word has preached amongst the people, that
some will perish. But one thing about God is that
(11:18):
God still gave everybody a chance every single day that
he allowed on the wake up, they still had a
chance to make it right. But when we beat people
down and make them believe they don't have a chance,
then you're also hurting the Kingdom of God, just as
much as you're thinking that you're trying to uplift it.
It doesn't make sense. You cannot beat a person down
and say i'ma abuse you all the way to the
(11:38):
door and then I'm gonna show you that I love you.
You cannot abuse someone and say it's love. I'm not
saying whole back the word. The word is the word.
The truth is the truth. But I am a prophet
of God, so at the end of the day of
God tells me to say something, I'm gonna say it,
and I'm not gonna hold back. I'm gonna say what
is wrong, whether you like it or not. And which
is a lot of the viewers why a lot of
people didn't like me because I said what I said.
(12:00):
I meant what I said. But then it's like when
you start to really call out the other side. Because
God is saying that it takes two to tango. You
can't take. You can tangle by yourself, but it takes
two to make it better. What I'm saying to you
is that everybody has to be accountable for what they do.
No man is perfect, and if any man sits here
and make you believe that he is perfect, he is wrong.
(12:22):
You will be wrong and sometime in your life and
you're not gonna always walk the narrow path. You're gonna
always find fault in you because you are not perfect.
God is gonna see that you are not. He wants
you to know you're not perfect for this very reason,
so he can say, we learn God is infinite information.
You will never understand everything about God. So that means
at some point in time, God, whether I am thirty
(12:45):
forty fifty sixty seven eighty ninety. I will never know
truly everything about you, So that means that I am
in some type of position to be wrong understand. And
that's why I do value people just simply say you
know what I don't know. I would rather tell you
I don't know it and for you to feel like
(13:05):
I know and then lead you all astray. I would
rather tell you that's something you gotta talk to God
about because I don't have that information. Because I know
I'm limited, even though I am a prophet of God,
even though I am a mouthpiece of the Lord. Even
mouthpieces of the Lord will be shut up because God
says I will stop speaking in a time where that
prophet won't even be able to have anything to say.
And I feel like you guys are looking for the miracles,
(13:28):
the spectacular movements, and then yet you're catering to the
people who want to see it and they're living false
and you're missing y'all on the people who really need
God the most. That's why God loves sinners, because sinners
are not overthinking it. They understand either I'm wrong I'm right,
And some people will admit that I am living in
sin and I know I need a change, and I
hope God will be there for me. But the only
reason why they don't change completely is because they don't
(13:49):
feel like they're loved. And a lot of the time
it's because the Christian people are the ones that making
them believe they don't have the chance. That's what happens
when people don't experience love with correction, And that's why
so many of us are doing this preaching where we're
judging instead of preaching about relationship. A prideful man can't
(14:15):
preach anything if he's dealing with pride. God says, the
heart has to be right for a man to be
able to preach anything. God says, you can't preach anybody
anything when you're struggling with stuff yourself. You gotta clearly true,
You gotta truly be healed from something if you're going
to preach about it. But if a man is not
well completely, how can he give any part of a
(14:36):
message and it be truth? Because God says, when you
love me, you love me in spirit and in truth.
That means you have to also understand that you're not perfect,
and you have to leave room for people to be
able to come and have to have room for forgiveness
in your hearts. You just have to. And when you
(15:02):
are loved by Jesus, you're not afraid to be corrected
because he corrects you as a father, not as a
fault finder. He doesn't. We're never gonna have it right.
But the people who do know the Lord keep pushing
that word, keep doing the street ministries, keep letting them
(15:24):
know you need to come back to God, cause this
is not this is out of order right now, You're
out of order. But also have that same energy you
got for yourself, have that same energy for yourself when
you want to point somebody else out, go and look
at the word of God and follow the word of
God in truth and integrity. Don't just feel like you
always have a word for somebody and that you don't
have fault, cause you also have fault. You too have
(15:46):
also have fallen short from the glory of God. You
didn't always know Jesus, but Jesus had compassion for you
to know you. And one thing I love about the
Lord is that he didn't care. When I met God.
He says, I don't care about your status. I don't
care about how much money you got in the bank.
I don't care about where you've been. I don't care
(16:08):
about how many houses you own. All I care about
is your heart. And that one thing about God that
allowed me to want to be closer to God is
because he saw the one thing that other people didn't
see when they looked at me. That is what made
me want to change, because I knew he saw me
for who I truly was, and not by what I
looked like, what I had my mistakes. He looked at
(16:31):
me for being me, and he accepted the fact that
I wasn't perfect, that I didn't line up with everything
that I did do that in my previous career. But
God did not judge me based off of what I
did in the past. God says, I want to get
to know you now, and it's okay for you even
now not to be perfect, because as you get to
know who I am, it's a relationship. Baby, it's a relationship.
(16:54):
It's a relationship. A father has to know his child.
But now I'm discovering truly who you are. You're allowing
me to come in your life to discover who you
really are, so you can see who you really are.
God is coming into your life, and you're allowing him
to come into yours so that he can truly know
(17:15):
who you are. That is a beautiful thing because now
you're not based off of what the world says you're
not and what's going to happen to You don't have
to ever fear. Whenever God is on the scene. God
is our defender. There were so many people that were
judge and said they would never make it, and how
could we sit there and eat with sinners and tax
(17:35):
collect us. How could he? Because he's a God who
has a spirit of truth and love and side. That's
how God taught love out of everything. But at the
end of the day, correction comes with being loved. You
first got to know who love is. You first got
to know what it is, and that's Jesus. But how
(17:55):
can you expect a person to know their love when
you're telling them they're not worthy? It makes no sense.
Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline, So be
earnest and repent. Revelations through nineteen. That's that's a message
that if you do sin and you know the Lord
of God, you truly know who you. God doesn't judge
a man about what he doesn't know. God says, when
(18:17):
you don't know, then then we gotta fix it. Now,
I'm gonna give you an opportunity to know so I
can fix it. But when you do know the truth,
when you get to know me, you have no reason
not to walk right. But I know you will make
a mistake. I know you're not perfect. But because of that,
my grace, my grace, and my love, I have mercy.
(18:37):
I have mercy. If Jesus has mercy, why can't we
have mercy on those who don't know him? Why can't
we have mercy on those who have strained and back slid.
Don't hold the word from the people that need to
hear it. But you also gotta understand there's a time
and a place for everything. That's what we have to
be led by the spirit. The spirit has to lead
(18:58):
you to those places. God says, simply be, Everything else
will take place. Simply be. But that's how you know
the reels from the fakes. Because God is gonna do
something in this time where a lot of the people
who are preaching these mega platforms and they're making you
believe that you're going to hell because you did this.
You did it, and they don't. People don't even know God.
They don't know God. They might have heard his name,
they might have heard you mentioned in him, but you're
(19:20):
making it so hard for them to really get connected
even water. Go down on these and pray to get
to know the Lord, because you're already bashing them out
before they can get there. That's why the gospel has
to be tailored, not watered down, not segregated, not sugarcoated,
(19:43):
but tailored. And I mean this is because if I'm
gonna preach a message to the sinner, then I have
to also find also thought God is saying in the
messenger who because the messenger can be wrong just as
much as the sinner. So at this point, no one
(20:04):
is in my will? So how can anyone be delivered?
If nobody's in my will? This is why a lot
of people aren't being delivered. They're merely just hearing the
word being convicted and hating more the Christian faith because
they're feeling like they're being come up against. I know
this is difficult. God been working with me all week
on this, and I just want to share because I
(20:27):
know what it's like to be a newcomer in Christ
and trying to figure out where you fit. But you
don't have to figure it out. Just go to God.
Let God do it. God says, simply be who you are.
Come to me with a pure heart. You go to God.
I don't care what you've done in your past, if
you slept around, you know. And my thing is like this.
You know, I hear a lot of people say I
want to get these prostitutes off the street. You want
to get the prostitutes off the street. You're telling them
(20:48):
what they're doing wrong, but you won't even offer them
a play of food. A lot of times the prostitutor
is out here sleeping around with a manners because they
have nothing to eat. And it might just seem simple
to you, but you could fix that situation by giving
them something to eat. A lot of times they do
things because they have to, because it's the only way
they know how to keep themselves sustained, because that's the
way that they feel. But when you introduce them to
a person that is of God and they say, let
(21:10):
me buy you a play of food, and then that
might leader you saying, you know what, let me give
you a little bit of money for the week. Now
you don't have to go out here and do what
you're doing. I'm giving you money for the week where
you can actually eat and you know what where you're living.
If I have it. If I have it, I'm gonna
pray that God would allow me to have it. If
I have it, I'm gonna also give you a place
to stay clean yourself up. The Lord told me to
(21:34):
do that for you. And i'm'a give you this Bible.
I want you to take this Bible. I want you
to read this Bible when you get a chance. This
is one of that meant a lot to me. And because
you did that for them, they gonna look at you
in a different way because you gave them a play
of food. The next day, they're gonna they when they
see you, they gonna be like they're gonna feel a
shame because they know that you told them I I
(21:55):
I want you to do better. I love you so
I want you to do better, and I love you
so much. I'm gonna give you a little bit. I'm
gonna buying something to eat. And you may not understand
why I'm buying you something to eat. And I don't
want nothing from you. I just want to know about you.
I just want to know what your life was like? Well,
how did you how was it what you growing up?
I'm sorry to hear that happened to you, and it's
not your fault. People running into hard times and then
(22:16):
we make bad decisions, but that's because a lot of
times we don't know that we're doing wrong. But God
saved me and he can save you. Sometimes those are
the conversations you need to have with somebody. It's not
about making them feel bad because they're on the street,
because we don't know what led them to the streets.
If you knew what led them there, then we can
pray against that and we can ask God to restore
this person, to build them up with they're torn down.
Thank you Lord, Thank you Jesus. Sometimes you got to
(22:41):
know where people come from so you can actually pray
for them the right way and help them get where
they need to go. Jesus was personable. Jesus, want to
know what is bothering you? They said, father fothered my
child to sit my child as a demon. They came
and they told Jesus exactly what was wrong. And it
wasn't a lot of times that they didn't believe that.
(23:02):
Jesus could do it. They just didn't see any other way.
They didn't have any hope. But when you know somebody
is walking through the land that has the spirit of God,
who and he can perform or she can perform these miracles,
and that she is willing to listen, and she's a
good person, she has the spirit of God in her,
there'll be more inclined to go find that person and say,
(23:23):
can you do this for me? Because I know you
did it for somebody else. Susie told me you gave
her a play of food, and I don't want to
go lay with this man today.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Who caut on way o he'm ouncushit on wyal o
clai away he Thank you Lord, Susie said, you gave
her a play of food, and I'm asking, can you
please give me a couple of dollars so I can
give me a buger for me and my children because
I don't want to go lay with that man.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
It's a lot of women out there right now, Thank
you Holy Spirit for giving me that. But just for edification,
there's a lot of women out there right now who
don't want to do to d but they have no
other choice. And you, you are a Christian. You preach
the gospel every single day and you don't know nothing
about relationship. It's crazy to me. It's crazy to me
how you can walk out there and see somebody suffering.
(24:05):
You talk about them and what they're doing. They're buying joys,
they out here on the streets. Well, what led them
to the drugs? A lot of the times, it's because
they didn't feel like they were loved. And you know what,
a lot of the drug boys tell me. A lot
of the drug boys say, the streets loved me when
nobody else did. My own mama didn't love me, but
the streets loved me. My boys they said they had
(24:26):
my back, and I took that as being loved. But
maybe God has to be a part of your life
for you to understand that. But how would you know
when already somebody's telling you, because you are a drug
you're going to hell. Well, he doesn't really even know God.
But if that's what you want to make God out
to be, you're damn, You're just you're you did that,
(24:47):
You're gone, You're just absolutely there's no redemption from you,
or you're just out of here. There's no opportunity for you. God,
is just gonna wipe you away. You're just nasty. I'm
not gonna be around you. Well, then how can you
preach to the people and do it in love? And
you don't want to preach. You don't want to love.
You don't want to sit with the tax collector, you
don't want to sit with the people who are broken.
I'm not saying go to clubs. You don't have to
(25:09):
go to strip clubs. No, we don't go sit in
places that we know where we're heavily attacked by some things.
But if you're out on the street, if you want
to do the street ministry, then do it where you
cannotually sit down. Take somebody. Hey, man, those some nice
shoes where you had it. Where you had it, Man,
those shoes look really cool. I like the colors in
(25:29):
those shoes. Where you're going? He might say, I'm going
to a gay club, But then your response would be,
hey man, I'm here just preaching the word of God,
but I love I love the shoes. I just want
to let you know, you know I'm we're here preaching word.
I want you to sit in and come have a conversation.
When we were trying to help people turn their life
over to Christ. I used to be in the world,
so I know what it's like. God delivered me. Man,
(25:50):
Let me tell you about what He did for me.
If you got a couple of minutes, I just want
to share something you didn't I believe it or not,
they'll be more inclined to listen to you. Then you
just tell them you're wrong. You're going to hell them.
It's the cross across it. I get it. I get it.
I'm a pastor. I have the gift of prophetic I understand.
I understand that the word has to be released. There
are times where God will move my spirit and that
message is so hardcore and that message just has to
(26:12):
be delivered that it has to be out there. People
have to hear the message. It has to be This
is a repent come back to God. Get that right
with God. Yes, I understand, and that word would never
be withhelp from my mouth. But I do understand too
that God is also a god of love, and there's
a lot of people who don't know him, and so
I have to represent him in a way to certain
(26:34):
types of people to let them know that you have
an opportunity. I'm not gonna beat a man down who
don't know God, I'm gonna show them the possibilities. I'm
gonna show them the possibilities of knowing who Jesus is.
But for those who know God and they know the
world and you know better, then Mama willna punish you
a little bit differently. Because see, I got this three
(26:56):
year old who I can't spank necessarily, but I can
hit that little hand and say, baby, I don't do that,
don't touch that. I can pack that hand and say
no because you're three years old. But at seven or
eight year old, I can go get that switch off
that tree, and I can swipe your butt and let
you know you know better cause Mama told you you
(27:17):
old enough to know, you been in this world enough
to know. So I'm gona get that switch and you're beaten.
Gonna be a little bit different, you know what I'm saying.
Y'all know I'm a little comedian at heart too, But
that switch, that switch is gonna be a little bit
different than me papping that little baby. Oh by little baby,
Why you do her like that? Don't mean that I
love her less or love her more, No, it just
(27:38):
means that Mama knows I gotta punish her in a
way that she understands, Oh, thank you Lord. I gotta
punish that baby in a way she gets it because
she's a she's she could be newborn, toddler, whatever it
may be. I can't. I can't put the same amount
of force on somebody who does not know like somebody
who knows and been in the game for a minute.
(28:01):
And then there's teenagers in Christ. Where some teenagers in Christ,
which I would consider those who might be in the
congregations to the Word. They've been in the Word for
a little bit, about forty thirty years old. They know
the Word of the Lord. They've been walking with God
for a while. They've had their trials and struggles, and
they're not perfect either. But then you you know, then
you might have to punishments might need to be different.
You might get a switch, but you also might have
(28:21):
to be on punishment. You might not be able to
go anywhere for a couple of days. And I'm just
using this as a just as a way to show
you guy's in story form of what I'm saying. God
is a god who he has He has certain ways
that he deals with certain people. The way you find God.
That's not gonna be the same with somebody else is
gonna find God. I found God from entertainment. God says, no,
(28:42):
absolutely not. I want I don't want you doing this.
You gotta come over here and do the word of God.
I put a you have to give a prophetic I
want you to be a prophet of the Lord. And
I said, okay, because God had to do a lot
of things in me to stop me from doing stuff
that I wasn't supposed to do. And then you have
the adults who now the mother, they left the mother,
(29:05):
and now they're out in the world. And all we
got is God. Oh Lord, all we God is you. Lord,
all we God is You. So we gotta hope and
pray that God's protection and stay upon us so that
we were not stumbling. Right. We gotta pray. Lord, help
my child. I'm a sixty year old woman, but help
my child who's thirty years old. Help my child find
the way. Lord, help them find you and help them.
(29:25):
Just keep keep the eye on the Lord. And so
then these beatings might come a little bit different. Your
beaten might become you go steal that stuff out of
that grocery store. I'm gonna put you in jail. And
while you're in jail, my child, because your hand, my
hand is still on you, because your mama, your mama
is a playing woman, and your mama is praying for you.
So now you're in jail, and now that jail time
is gonna lead you back to me. And if it don't,
(29:47):
I am letting you know I am a God because
you know the truth. You were raised in the truth.
God cannot fallt a man who does not know, but
a man who knows the truth, then you're liable. Then
sin leads to death. You understand, you understand, you understand.
I have never seen a police off officer lock up
(30:07):
a toddler or a newborn baby for something they had
no idea, because the gun only gets in a child's
hand by being put in a place where they can
reach it. Oh, don't put your children in harm's way.
Don't ever let your child know that they're not loved.
Never ever let somebody think they don't have a chance.
Who don't know who God is because they're just a baby.
(30:29):
They're just a baby. They're just a lost little baby,
a sheep lost. They have no idea what this is about.
They've never even been to a church because their parents
never put them in one. Their parents didn't have an
discernment to know what the word of God was. But
all they can see is the criticism from the world
of not being accepted. You're not accepting. You're not accept
(30:50):
because your hair is blue. You're not accepting because you're
sitting here walking around the short skirt. You're not except.
You'll never be nothing. You're from the pens of bell.
You'll never be a good person. My man is bad,
so you aretomn exclu me. This is what I'm saying.
Stop the press, please stop the madness, because you are
not working for the kingdom of God. You are working
for the kingdom of darkness. Whether you believe it or not.
(31:12):
You might have good intentions, but what you are doing
is tearing down the spirits of man and not showing
people the spirit that lives inside of you, where Jesus
has rolls from the dead from by our Father, which
is in Romans eight eleven. We have that same spirit.
But God wants us to start waking more people up
than to start killing people. Stop looking down on someone
(31:32):
because of where they come from. These people are lost
like you were. Once. You didn't always know God, but
you had to find your way to him. You had
to ask God for the discernment that does not make
you perfect. God still don't love you more than everybody else.
You are merely just a child of God, just like
I am, and everybody has to learn. We can't tell
(31:56):
people that they're disqualified from a relationship with God because
what they wear, or who they used to be, or
what their struggle is, because as long as they're living today,
they got a chance to make it white. God doesn't
give up on a man just because he may not
look like the idea at this moment. They have an
(32:18):
opportunity to fight, just like we have an opportunity to
fight every single day until we die. But once we
have reached death, there is no more. But the purpose
of this is we got to start preaching to people
the right way. Know your opponent, Know who you're preaching to.
Learn about your opponent, don't just look at them and
(32:42):
then just automatically counting them out. You don't know. You
can't possibly know every single person walking down the street
and what their life has been like, what they're going through.
You don't A lot of the Christian people right now
are sending people to heal themselves. So I'm gonna start
(33:06):
with Roomans fourteen twelve thirteen, cause this has going on
way too long. But I think you guys get the idea.
So then each of us will give you will give
an account of ourselves to God. Therefore, let us stop
passing judgment on one another Romans fourteen, twelve thirteen. Instead, let's
teach them about the Jesus who saved the woman caught
(33:28):
an adultery, the one who said, let he who is
without sin cast the first stone. Let's introduce to people
to the man who sat with the tax collectors. Y'all,
let's let's do that. Love the outcast and died for everyone,
(33:49):
even me, even when I was wrong, cause I wasn't
always right. Not just a clean up version of ourselves either,
not the person that I am today, not the person
that you are today. If you're following Christ and you're
doing good, that's great, but pray for others they have
that same type of relationship. One thing a lot of
(34:09):
people who are in ministry fail to understand is that
God used you, but he doesn't need you. You are
a servant, You're not the master, and just because you
know something doesn't mean that makes you greater than somebody else.
And just as harder as a man can be, that
the man can fall harder just as fast as he
has risen to fame. And God is saying to be
(34:29):
able to be a true servant and God, we have
to be less and he has to be more. But
God did not send his son into the world to
condemn the world, but to save the world through him
John through seventeen. That's the message. I'm gonna leave it there.
Love first, lead with relationship, than God with truth. Bring
(34:50):
a men with love, and then guide them with the truth.
So when they do find God, you don't have to
worry about doing so much, try to get feeble, to
turn back from your wage, going what the hell? As
you would say, you don't have to worry about doing
all of that because they're got to be convicted, because
Jesus lives and they know about them. Because Jesus can
(35:11):
do things that I can't do. I'm only a servant,
but Jesus can do things that I can't. He can save,
He can truly save. I can deliver the word, and
God can use me to save people. Yes, but when
a conviction comes when I am here to say, you
know what, Alex. We've been in this word for a
(35:31):
while and I've been you know, we've been talking about
the Lord. Now I see your shifting now, your head
in the wrong way. After we've done you know who
God is? You say you're experienced in God's love, but
you gotta keep going now, don't lose faith. Don't lose faith. Now,
you've been in this thing for a year and I
know that's still kind of new to you. But you're
a babe in Christ. But that still means you know
the truth. Now you gotta stay. You can't go back
to the things you used to. You're not a baby anymore.
(35:54):
You might be a seven or eight year old, but
you're not a baby anymore. So God is saying, stick
with this I can and give you the word and
let you know this is not what God says to
the teenager. You know better. I'm gonna spank your butt.
I'm gonna give you the word. It might hurt, but
God is gonna be the one that saves. That's what
(36:14):
the message is for today. So I hope that helps you.
For those of you who are struggling to know God,
don't give up. You are not all bad. God says,
I did not create a being to be all bad.
It's because they don't know me. And I can't judge
you for not knowing me. Come to me and know
where I am going. On your knees and pray to
Lord help me. I'm not perfect, be honest, have a
pure heart. Lord. I failed, I did not do the
(36:36):
right things. Lord. I struggle. Lord. I know I may
not be perfect, but Lord, I'm trying to understand. And
sometimes people just want to understand. And God, however, you
work with me to understand. Help me understand it. Go
to God that way so God can show you. But
everything doesn't have to be so aggressive. It doesn't have
to be so strict, it doesn't have to be so legalistic.
(36:59):
Means just to truly be and simply be who you
are and go to God with a pure heart. Let
him know where you're struggling. If you didn't like the
fact that somebody said you were going to go to
hell because you were gay, go to God with that.
So you know what this passage me, I'm going to
heel because I was gay, and God is gonna say, well,
you know he was wrong. For saying it that way.
But let me show you what my word says, and
(37:22):
let me show you how much I love you, Thank
your Holy Spirit. Let me show you how much I
love you, and let me show you the possibilities. Let
me show you the possibilities of what I can do
for you and why I made you for a different purpose.
Let me show you where God loves us so much.
Let me show you about your future, what I could
(37:43):
give you. I can give you children, I want you
to have descendants. I put you here to reproduce, to multiply,
not to lay with another man. Let God deal with that.
Let God, let God love come through you. Preach, preach
and teach and love. Relationship first, everything else after, because
we truly didn't really truly know God, and one day
(38:08):
it was a walk. So sometimes you got to have
a friendship with people to let them know who God is.
Sometimes you got to have a walk with people to
let them know who God is. Sometimes it needs to
be a walk a relationship. You don't marry a person
the first time you meet them, because then you really
discovered that you made a mistake if you just married
(38:29):
them the first time you met them, And just because
you felt a great soul connection. Why you call it soul?
Made you think of me? You are soulmate, but they're not.
You had to learn about that individual. You can't learn
if everything's legalistic. You can't learn if you don't know
the flaws. You gotta see them. You got to be
with a person that know what's from. So then God
can say, Okay, let me go and examine. Let me
(38:51):
go and fix this, let me go and fix that. Okay,
you struggling with this, let me fix that. You don't
know why they told you we're going to hell. That's
wrong for them to do that. I'll get it, and
I'm gonna come back and hit him later, but let
me deal with you right now. I'm working on your
heart because it bothered you. Because I put something in
here that's made for a purpose. We gotta be different.
(39:14):
The message is necessary. The message will always stay the same.
The message is very much what it is. Prophets will
still continue to speak. I will continue to speak as
a prophet of the Lord. Prophet is of the Lord,
and I will continue to show the word of God.
But I will not do it at the expense of
the dollar. And I will not do it at expense
(39:35):
to make you feel good about yourself, especially when I
know you know God. But if you do not know
God and you are a toddler or a baby, if
somebody who does not know about how this thing works,
you're new. So you're just trying to figure out, Okay,
who is Jesus? Let me first get Let me just
first understand who Jesus is, because I don't know. They
keep tell us about this Jesus God. Let me find out.
Then I gotta talk to you in a way as
(39:58):
a baby would understand. Repeat after me, baby, Jesus, what's
his name? That's your father? You understand. You got to
go differently with people who are truly walking in this
thing brand new, because a lot of times they don't
know because they were not told. You cannot hold a
man accountable for something they were not told. It's the relationship.
(40:21):
Be blessed.
