Episode Transcript

(00:03):
Around Lord as don keep me there. That's it. So watch this,
you said, Why did you sayall that? Because Jesus didn't wear no
makeups. See how I tie allthis in. Jesus didn't even look the

(00:25):
part. Jesus wasn't trying to lookthe part. He wasn't coming with gimmicks
and trying to look a certain way. Once you saw him, you would
say, dare you you mean thismighty son of man, this one who
can judge, that has all power. That's him, all power. So
as he walked around, even beforethe crucifixion, they were saying that wasn't

(00:50):
him. So you know, bythe time that he got on the cross,
then they started saying, well,if that's you, come down.
But he wasn't hiding nothing, washe. So watch this, watch this.
So there's a new and living way, Yes, has been opened up
through I gave you this through thecurtain. Well, how'd you open the

(01:11):
curtain or how'd you open the veilJesus? And Jesus said, through my
body because of what I did foryou, I allowed you to enter into
the holies so that you could bein the very presence of God and not
be cut off. Now, thisis all just leading up to the assembly.

(01:34):
Watch verse twenty one, verse twentyone. And since we have a
great priest, listen, listen,listen, listen. None of this stuff
is if we have confidence because ofhis blood, him being crucified, and
him being resurrected, this new andliving way, right, and we have

(01:56):
a high priest over the Church ofChrist. Yes, it don't say that,
does it? See y'all, letme slip that in there. What
does it say? Is right inthe town. And since we have a
great priest over the House of God, oh, let us hold hold it,
hold it we have since we havea what a great priest, a

(02:23):
great priest and James probably says highpriest, right, well, great and
high. Don't how you get confusedover great and high? Since we have
a great high priest over Listen,listen. That's why no brother can say
this is my administration, because wehave a high priest over over. Oh

(02:46):
but watch this, watch this,watch this. Those of us that have
confidence understand we have a high priestover and not a brother over for see.
Once once we hear that type oftalk, we can say, you

(03:07):
know what, Yeah, there arebrothers over the Church of Christ. But
we got a high priest that's overthe House of God. See that's how
you knocked that out the box.So here's another designation to add to your
collection, House of God. Soso so so now we say we started

(03:29):
saying, you know what, we'rethe House of God. Somebody gonna say,
are y'all the Church of Christ?And then then you you back up
and say to them, well,who's who's the priest over the Church of
Christ? Whose administration is it?All right? Says we have a great

(03:50):
high priest over the House of God. Yes, let us draw near.
Let us do what, Draw nearto God with a sincere heart. Listen,
listen, listen, listen. RememberI said to you earlier because I
was just giving you some things that'stying right into the lesson. Remember when
I said to you earlier in thelesson, God knows who's playing around and

(04:13):
who's sincere right. So since wehave all these things, let us draw
near and notice this, draw nearto God, Near to God. Stop
playing church and draw near to God. Stop being caught up in a punch
list and draw near to God.Y'all seeing this, go ahead, let

(04:36):
us draw near to God with asincere heart. Listen, listen to this,
Listen to this, Listen to this. We always say God knows my
heart. Right, you have heardsomebody say that, you say something that
they say, God knows my heart. The question is is your heart sincere?

(05:00):
Here? All of us got stuffon our heart, some of y'all
looking right now? When is thisover? This? This too? This?
This is digging too much in mylower back. That means I'm shooting
too low. Yes, I'm tryingto hit you right and right in just
like where go life got hit.Uh, let us draw near to God

(05:26):
with a sincere heart, with asincere heart, with the full assured,
with the full I'm fully assured.Hold on, how do I get to
that point a full assurance? Well, he already told you what Jesus did
for you and when he opened upright listen, all he's doing is building

(05:49):
on confidence, right, He's buildingon confidence. Now the only spirit using
a different word with full assurance,full assurance. Yeah, that faith.
Listen, listen, listen. Myfaith is going to be an outpouring or
manifestation of what I am fully assuredof. Are y'all picking up on this?

(06:16):
That's what my faith is outpouring ora visible manifestation of what I'm fully
assured of. You know why somepeople don't assymbol because they're not fully assured.
They don't want to hear it.But somebody gotta tell them they're not
fully assured. And people are lookingfor more reasons why not to than to

(06:42):
look at one reason and say,because of him, that's all I need.
All I need is him. Idon't need. Well, I'm fully
assured because the brother gonna be there. That can leave songs real good.
That's all well and good. Hecan leave songs real good. But I'm
fully assured because of him. Imean, yeah, it maybe some cake,

(07:03):
and it may be some ice cream, and it may be some chicken,
but that ain't my full assurance.I'm fully assured because of him.
But I'm still gonna eat. Readit again, brother Mario, and let
me say this why you get that? Because I heard the page turns.
Let me say this why you getthat? And I'll probably run over because

(07:25):
I still got to get the versetwenty five. I don't want to not
get the verse twenty five. Thatwhat you need to know about the adversary,
the satan is his job is tobleed all the full assurance out of

(07:46):
you. All right, He's tryingto bleed and cipher out all the full
assurance of what Christ is done,so you can run on empty and make
bad mistakes. Now you already knowthat's probably double negative. I said bad

(08:11):
and mistake. But you you knowwhat I'm saying, don't you, Because
listen. Once you ever been tothe doctor and they were feeding you,
they call intravenously and it's a drip. Remember they've hanged the bag up and
put the thing in your arm andit's a drip, and they putting medicine
in you. Well, how Satanwork is? First he come in because

(08:31):
he already know you you got aproblem. So he come in. He
don't tell you I'm doctor Satan.He come in, he say I'm doctor
Cibation. But you didn't hear whathe said. He said, So he
comes in, he rolls the thingin, he rolls it on in,
hangs it up, puts it inyour arm, and you think that he's

(08:52):
putting something in and he's actually extracting. And then by the time he gets
done, you look at you andsay you got any more faith left?
And you say what you mean byfaith? Remember, all that Jesus stuff
you used to talk, and howhappy you was to assemble within people.
What you're gonna say? Now yousee all that laying on He don't even

(09:13):
have the courtesy to put it inthe bag. He said, you see
all that on the floor, thatthat was your assurance right there on the
floor. But he just drip,drip, drip. So how does it
start? Well, you stop readingscripture during the week, drip, You

(09:37):
not praying as much, drip,You start missing midweek service, drip,
start missing starting that ten drip.Then you get a job drip. Then
before you know it, where's brotherso and so? All out on the
floor. And then when somebody callyou, hey, brother, how you

(10:01):
doing, hey sister, or somebodytext you, they say, oh,
you know, I'm working. Dripand be careful that drip don't drip on
you and poison you. All right, let us draw there, God with
a sincere and with fall assurance faithbrings yeah, our hearts sprinkled to cleanse

(10:24):
us. Listen to this, Listento this, Listen to this. The
verb is in the perfect tense ofit's already been accomplished. When you obeyed
the gospel, your heart was cleansedbecause you submitted to the Gospel of Christ,
and there should be no guilt.Now, yeah, we sin after

(10:50):
obedience, but there should be noguilt because we know His blood covered the
sin before that we committed before wewere baptized. But the blood is so
efficacious that it's still cleansing after baptism. So you don't have no guilt.
Now, there will be some churchfolk who will say you're guilty, and

(11:20):
then what you have to say tothem is, you know, I hear
what you're saying, and you saidthat I'm guilty. And the only issue
that I have with that is thejudge had it so in with the judge

(11:43):
that they both said not guilty,and they said not guilty forever. Y'all
ain't got this. Listen. Listen, y'all remember when I say, last
week, does Jesus save a quarterof a percent or does he save one

(12:09):
hundred percent? But what we triedto do was make Jesus save ninety and
then we make up the other ten. Now you're not guilty forever? Well,
why am I not guilty forever?Because his sacrifice satisfied the complete justice

(12:33):
of God one hundred percent. Soyou're not guilty forever. This whole room,
everybody on Facebook should have erupted offof that not guilty forever. But
I know I know why you didn't. You didn't erupt. I understand people

(12:54):
didn't know that that they're not guiltyforever. And then there may be people
that didn't erupt because you still maybe wavering with it. That's fine,
but at least you got exposed tothe information. See that, not guilty.
That's tough, ain't it. Youmean, listen, there's a possibility.

(13:16):
The reason why that's so tough toembrace is because when I say it,
not guilty forever, you immediately startedlooking at the things you order to
be guilty of, rather than lookingat it from the perspective of I may
do it, but I'm not guiltyof it because of what he did.

(13:37):
So nobody can. Nobody can putthe charge and make it stick. They
can say it, but it won'tstick. All right, brother Marter,
Let's move on. Let's move on. Let us draw near to God with
the sincere heart, with a sincereheart, with the full assurance that brings

(13:58):
you. See why they think I'mcrazy. I'm telling you stuff like you
not guilty forever forever. See whythey did we crazy and forf of you,
and preferfertly they get it, becausewhen they get it, bot they
gonna shout, Yes, they gonnabe free. You talking about free and

(14:18):
land free and land boul. Whenthey get it, they gonna be free.
Come on, having our heart sprinkleto cleanse us from a guilty conscience.
You think God wants you walking aroundwith a guilty conscience after what Christ
went through we just saw sincere heartnot a guilty conscience. Your conscience has

(14:41):
been catholicized. Come on, comeon, and having our bodies washed with
pure water. Weren't you baptized?Yes? Even though this terminology is dealing
with things that were done in OldTestament practice, the New Testament app location
is you repent it and you werebaptized, because this is still in the

(15:05):
perfect tense. Bodies washed with purewater. You've been immersed and now there's
no longer any more guilt on you, because if you were still guilty,
how could you be righteous? Allright? All right, okay, all
right, come on, brother,married let us hold I got to push

(15:28):
forward unswervingly to the whole Listen,listen, listen, let us hold without
wavering and without swerving. You know, I say, this ain't got nothing
to do with a preacher or somebodyelse. This got everything to do with
how you look at Jesus. Letus hold unswerving me. Well, the

(15:52):
doctor says, I ain't talking aboutthe doctor. Well, my family,
I ain't talking about what your familysaid about you. I'm telling you what
the spirit is saying to you.Let us hold unwavering or unswervingly. Well,
how can you do that? BecauseGod can lie when he tells you
to do something. Matter of fact, when God tell you to hold on,

(16:15):
everybody in the building ought to beI got it. Come on,
brother Barial, let let's hold unswerved. No, no, no, no,
what are we holding on to?To the whole? Let's hold hold,
hold it, hold on to thehope. Yes, we profess.
Listen, Well what did you professfor he? What did you profess?

(16:40):
Did you not profess? I believeJesus Christ is the son of God.
And don't you know when you madethat confession? And you may not have
known it then, which is finebecause we still learning after baptism, when
you made the confession that you believeJesus Christ is the Son of God.

(17:02):
You are actually acknowledging that you totallybelieved in His finished works to put you
in right standing with God eternally.Now I know back then there was a
possibility we may not have fully comprehendedit because you ain't gonna get everything.
But now you should be at apoint now you understand as you were growing

(17:23):
about who he is as the sonof God. You say, I believe
he put me in right standing withGod. I thank God that now I
can draw near to God. Ithank God that I can enter into the
Holy of Holies. I thank Godthat I'm no longer guilty eternally. I
thank God that one day I maydie, but I'm gonna be resurrected.
I thank God for everything that Jesusdone for me. Are y'all seeing this?

(17:48):
Now, you see what that confessionbrings in. People ain't gonna like
me. They ain't gonna like me, But I got something to hold on
to even in their dislike. Becausethey're dislike, don't trump the hope that
I have because what I profess theymay not understand. So they still operating

(18:11):
off of hate. But I'm gonnaoperate off of love, because it took
a love to put me where Iam. They did not take it off
for us to be where we are. Let us hold unswerving to the hope

(18:33):
we profess for him. I'm gonnakeep saying. I believe Jesus is the
son of God. I believe Jesusis the son of I believe Jesus died
for my sin. I believe JesusGod up on the third day. I
believe he ever liveth to make intercessionfor me. I believe that he's at
the right hand of God make aninnercession for me. I believe that he's
coming back one day. I believethat I'm gonna hear his voice after I

(18:56):
die. I believe it. Andain't nothing you can say, she okay,
okay. Ain't nothing that that thatyou can say that's gonna take away

(19:21):
the hope of my profession. Allright, Let's keep moving. Let us
hold on swervingly to the hope weprofess for He who listen Listen to this,
Listen to this. How can Ihold on without wavering because He for

(19:44):
He who promised listen, Listen,Listen, listen, listen, listen.
The hope of holding on is onlyas strong as the one who made the
promise, So the one who madethe promise can't back it up. I'm
holding on in vain, but becausethe one who made the promise said,

(20:12):
let that be light, and therewas light. Right, the one who
made the promise said, to thewinds and the waves, peace be still.
The one who made the promise,did y'all know that the lightning has

(20:34):
names? And the one who madethe promise calls the lightning, and the
lightning says, here, I amthe one who made the promise. Went
down to a French tomb four dayslater, said just move a stone,
don't worry about high smell. Justdo what I tell you to do,

(20:56):
and say, ladders, come forth, come forward. Now there's a possibility
there were other bodies in there,but only one body came out, because
that's the one he called by name. But then there's a day coming when
it says, oh, let ushold on unswervedly to the hope we professed,

(21:22):
for he who promised is faithful.Yes, all right, let me
drop something on you. Let medrop something on you. Not only is
our guilt erased, we are onlysaved because of his faithfulness. Could you

(21:55):
imagine if God reneges on his promise, Like how we remember how you you
promised to do something and you turnaround, I ain't doing that. Man,
God turned around and said, youknow what, I ain't doing none
of that. Thank God, heremains faithful. That's why you can have

(22:17):
that hope. And that's why youhold on unswervingly and you don't let nobody
get in the mix and try tobleed you out where you no longer believe
in what He did for you.Right, all right, let us consider
how we may spur one another.Let me get, let me get I
guess ten minutes of this, allright? All right, for ten minutes,

(22:40):
I got a lot more. Butas they say, I got a
lot more. But I'm probably overan hour now I know that. Watch
this. That's this, He whopromised is faithful. Now watch this.
Here's your other letter statement. Letus consider King James says, believe.
Let us con one another. Doyou come to the assembly before you got

(23:06):
here and you considered somebody else ordo you just consider you getting there?
Now? All right, give mea little bit of that again, brother
Mary, I know this. Weso used to going to verse twenty five
and sending people to hell. Wedidn't consider the consideration of what's to be
considered in verse twenty four, andlet us consider how who's they talking to

(23:32):
the brothers and sisters. Listen tothis, Listen to this. How many
years have people been coming to anassembly and haven't considered nobody? Now,
I told you it wasn't optional.I told you there's a social connection.
I told you there's a communal aspectbefore you got here. As a matter

(23:55):
of fact, this even takes placeduring the week because it's the present tense.
Have you been considering somebody? Evenbefore Sunday? Y'all seeing this,
somebody said, I thought I wasgoing to a worship service. That that

(24:15):
that that's where you got sidetracked.Well, I checked off all the boxes.
That's where you got siged you.You you were more focused on checking
off the punch lists. And evento a certain extent, sometimes the way
we preach get here, we needto preface that by saying, did you
consider somebody? Because you know what, you didn't consider somebody. There's a

(24:37):
possibility, even though you got here, you won't say the wrong thing.
There's a possibility you want to putsomebody in a position where they don't feel
right because you was miserable. Letus consider who, and let us consider
how. We may let her considerhow. James say, somebody got King

(25:00):
James. Let's let's let's look atit together and mash it up. Let
us consider one another. Listen,listen, let us consider how, or
let us consider one another. They'lllet you know your responsibility in coming to
the assembly is to be about somebodyelse. Right. I know you're not

(25:22):
read. I told you you wasgonna get mad at me. I told
you you must not get mad.But now you look at yourself and say,
well, who else did I consider? Did you consider? Did you
brothers consider brother Mario when he gotup and he had to lead all the
songs, do the communion and dothe prayers? Or did you just consider
yourself? Amen? Walls, yousee how the word make you look at

(25:45):
yourself when we come on Lord's Day, the brothers, even though the system
may bring po cake or the systemmay cook, did you give consideration and
say, you know what, don'tdo nothing this week? The brothers got
it this week. Now I knowwhat you brother's doing right now? Right
now, you pointed to me,saying, well, you ain't never done
it. Why you gotta wait onme? Right, Yeah, King James,

(26:12):
Yeah, let us consider one another. Let us consider one another.
Look, look, look, lookhow he lined us up. He told
us all this good stuff about whatJesus did and the confidence that we're having
Jesus and how we can enter in. And now he says, since you
know all of that, now consideryour brother. Yes. See, the

(26:33):
reason why many of us don't considerour brother is because we haven't looked at
Jesus first. That's why, youknow, I can see from the other
week. This ain't bragging how selfcentered disciples have come. Because for them

(26:56):
to say I've had enough in leaveonly consider their self. They didn't consider
how that would look to another disciplethat may have been struggling with something to
see them walk out, even ina disagreement. But that's when you only
focus on you and not your brother. There have been a whole lot of

(27:17):
situations or gatherings that I've been in, and I'm not saying this to make
a comparison. I'm saying this tosay I had to learn, even in
disagreement, not to uproot somebody else. That's true. So what are we
to do Mario, let us considerone another. To listen listen. When

(27:41):
I consider, I not only think, I'm not only reason, but I'm
looking at your betterment, he said. Let us consider one another. I'm
you're gonna see right here. Considerone another for purpose to provoke. Listen,

(28:06):
Listen, listen, listen, donfonme. I don't know what dow
shoe now, I don't know whatdo is our shoe? Low o shoe lo
