- - Ladies and Gentleman, I believe
- 00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:05.190
- it's a greater sin to not get back up and fight again.
- 00:00:05.190 --> 00:00:09.200
- That's what God wants you to do.
- 00:00:10.270 --> 00:00:12.090
- When you fall, he says rise up and go forward.
- 00:00:12.090 --> 00:00:15.250
- (clapping)
- 00:00:15.250 --> 00:00:17.170
- - We don't just survive things,
- 00:00:17.170 --> 00:00:20.070
- we overcome in every area of our lives.
- 00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:23.140
- - God has some design the human mechanism,
- 00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:29.080
- the spirit, soul, and body
- 00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:30.270
- that your life begins to move in the direction
- 00:00:30.270 --> 00:00:34.250
- of what you see.
- 00:00:34.250 --> 00:00:36.180
- - You got to visualize.
- 00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:38.090
- You gotta verbalize.
- 00:00:38.090 --> 00:00:40.030
- You gotta internalize until it materializes.
- 00:00:40.030 --> 00:00:43.240
- - If you see health, your body will move in that direction.
- 00:00:46.290 --> 00:00:51.250
- - Whew.
- 00:00:51.250 --> 00:00:52.200
- - No, but, I need you to really hear this,
- 00:01:42.290 --> 00:01:45.220
- He says that He's a way maker
- 00:01:45.220 --> 00:01:48.050
- and most of the time, when we're going through something,
- 00:01:49.170 --> 00:01:53.270
- we all automatically look for the way out,
- 00:01:53.270 --> 00:01:58.040
- we look for Him to make a way.
- 00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.210
- But I have something to submit to you this morning,
- 00:02:02.030 --> 00:02:05.180
- that He is the way, that He has already made the way.
- 00:02:05.180 --> 00:02:09.230
- No, no, I know that sounds good, and that's like
- 00:02:12.010 --> 00:02:14.230
- yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but I need you to give revelation of
- 00:02:14.230 --> 00:02:18.280
- that you don't have to look for a way
- 00:02:20.060 --> 00:02:23.120
- when you're going through something,
- 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.100
- you don't have to expect Him to make a way,
- 00:02:26.100 --> 00:02:30.190
- because the way has already been made.
- 00:02:30.190 --> 00:02:34.090
- The Bible says that Jesus is the,
- 00:02:34.090 --> 00:02:37.020
- - [Congregation] Way.
- 00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:40.180
- - So when you're singin' this song, you gotta realize
- 00:02:40.180 --> 00:02:44.270
- that all I gotta do is get in the way.
- 00:02:44.270 --> 00:02:48.190
- I have to just get in the way
- 00:02:48.190 --> 00:02:51.060
- that has already been made for me.
- 00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:54.010
- (congregation cheering in agreement)
- 00:02:55.060 --> 00:02:57.210
- Like when my health is failin',
- 00:02:57.210 --> 00:02:59.270
- and all Hell is breakin' loose, I have to realize
- 00:02:59.270 --> 00:03:04.140
- that my life, Debbie, is not an emergency,
- 00:03:04.140 --> 00:03:08.070
- that God has already created the way.
- 00:03:08.070 --> 00:03:11.100
- All I have to know that He is a way maker,
- 00:03:13.150 --> 00:03:17.000
- a miracle worker, that He's already made it, sing it, y'all.
- 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.200
- Promise keeper
- 00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:24.160
- Light in the darkness
- 00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:27.030
- My God
- 00:03:27.030 --> 00:03:28.190
- That is who You are
- 00:03:28.190 --> 00:03:31.240
- Woah
- 00:03:32.230 --> 00:03:35.050
- Way maker
- 00:03:35.050 --> 00:03:36.200
- Miracle worker
- 00:03:36.200 --> 00:03:38.180
- Promise keeper
- 00:03:38.180 --> 00:03:40.190
- Light in the darkness
- 00:03:40.190 --> 00:03:43.050
- My God
- 00:03:43.050 --> 00:03:44.210
- That is who You are
- 00:03:44.210 --> 00:03:47.260
- - But there's a scripture, 1 Corinthians 10:13,
- 00:03:49.070 --> 00:03:53.140
- it talks about that way like God has already made that way.
- 00:03:53.140 --> 00:03:57.190
- Before you were ever even thought of,
- 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.010
- before you were created, before your parents got together,
- 00:04:03.010 --> 00:04:07.060
- God went to the end of your life,
- 00:04:08.110 --> 00:04:10.280
- and He made a way for you.
- 00:04:11.250 --> 00:04:14.000
- No, no, you gotta see this.
- 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.200
- Pastor Mike did this illustration, come here, come here,
- 00:04:18.200 --> 00:04:22.250
- and then when I show you the scripture
- 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.130
- you really gonna kinda get it.
- 00:04:25.130 --> 00:04:27.130
- I need you to go because you're havin' challenges,
- 00:04:27.130 --> 00:04:31.130
- and you're goin' through all kinda stuff,
- 00:04:31.130 --> 00:04:33.280
- but somethin' is followin' her.
- 00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:36.150
- I know you think it's just mercy and grace,
- 00:04:36.150 --> 00:04:39.040
- and your angels and all, but look, your way
- 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:42.190
- is already there, your way is following your challenges,
- 00:04:42.190 --> 00:04:46.240
- your way is right here with you,
- 00:04:48.130 --> 00:04:51.120
- your way doesn't have to be created,
- 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.120
- look, this is the way.
- 00:04:56.070 --> 00:04:57.170
- You may not feel like liftin' up your hands,
- 00:04:57.220 --> 00:04:57.260
- but since I know that worship is a way of escape for me,
- 00:04:58.280 --> 00:05:02.010
- I'm gon' give it up.
- 00:05:04.050 --> 00:05:06.050
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:05:06.050 --> 00:05:08.080
- In every heart
- 00:05:08.080 --> 00:05:11.010
- I worship You
- 00:05:11.260 --> 00:05:14.080
- That's what we do, Jesus
- 00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:17.130
- We open up our mouth
- 00:05:17.130 --> 00:05:19.100
- We lift up our hands
- 00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:21.050
- Because the King is here
- 00:05:21.050 --> 00:05:24.150
- We know You can do it, Jesus
- 00:05:24.150 --> 00:05:28.040
- We worship You, Jesus
- 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:31.230
- We worship You, Father
- 00:05:31.230 --> 00:05:33.200
- Hey
- 00:05:33.200 --> 00:05:34.230
- You are here
- 00:05:34.230 --> 00:05:36.020
- There's nothin' like bein' in Your presence
- 00:05:36.020 --> 00:05:39.130
- I can do it when I'm in Your presence
- 00:05:39.130 --> 00:05:43.130
- And I worship You Jesus, yes I do
- 00:05:43.130 --> 00:05:46.040
- I worship You
- 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:47.140
- Alleluia
- 00:05:47.140 --> 00:05:50.070
- You are here
- 00:05:50.070 --> 00:05:53.010
- Turnin' lives around
- 00:05:53.010 --> 00:05:55.010
- Whatever you need Him to do
- 00:05:55.010 --> 00:05:59.010
- I open up my mouth
- 00:05:59.010 --> 00:06:01.160
- I worship You
- 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.060
- You are here
- 00:06:05.030 --> 00:06:07.190
- Turning lives
- 00:06:07.190 --> 00:06:08.200
- Mending every heart
- 00:06:08.200 --> 00:06:11.070
- You're mending every heart
- 00:06:11.070 --> 00:06:12.270
- I worship You
- 00:06:12.270 --> 00:06:14.230
- There's nothing else for me to do
- 00:06:14.230 --> 00:06:16.080
- But worship
- 00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:18.110
- When I don't understand I do worship
- 00:06:18.110 --> 00:06:22.060
- The King of glory is here
- 00:06:22.060 --> 00:06:25.080
- The King of glory is here
- 00:06:25.080 --> 00:06:27.260
- I worship
- 00:06:27.260 --> 00:06:29.270
- I serve an able God
- 00:06:29.270 --> 00:06:31.220
- I worship You
- 00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:34.120
- You are here
- 00:06:35.150 --> 00:06:37.130
- Yeah
- 00:06:37.130 --> 00:06:38.120
- Mending every heart
- 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:40.140
- Mending every broken heart
- 00:06:40.140 --> 00:06:44.130
- We receive it, Jesus
- 00:06:44.130 --> 00:06:47.110
- We receive it, Jesus
- 00:06:47.110 --> 00:06:50.190
- And I know I keep talkin' about,
- 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:53.240
- but a lotta times people always ask
- 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.230
- how did you really get through
- 00:06:55.230 --> 00:06:58.080
- when Pastor Mike was in the hospital?
- 00:06:59.230 --> 00:07:02.280
- It's like they want something else other than the Word,
- 00:07:02.280 --> 00:07:07.030
- or what I did.
- 00:07:08.200 --> 00:07:09.250
- Like come on, you had to feel something,
- 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.140
- you had to, I don't know,
- 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.020
- click your heels three times
- 00:07:21.170 --> 00:07:23.020
- and it was over, you had to, you had to pop a pill
- 00:07:23.020 --> 00:07:27.070
- to be able to go to sleep, you had to get some Xanax,
- 00:07:28.210 --> 00:07:33.130
- is that what it's called, to calm your nerves,
- 00:07:33.130 --> 00:07:37.020
- did the priest come in and lay hands on you?
- 00:07:37.020 --> 00:07:40.220
- But no, all I did was stayed in worship,
- 00:07:40.220 --> 00:07:44.220
- I promise you that's all I did,
- 00:07:44.220 --> 00:07:47.090
- because in His presence, and listen,
- 00:07:48.110 --> 00:07:51.110
- I don't have to create His presence,
- 00:07:53.080 --> 00:07:56.080
- I don't even have to enter into His presence,
- 00:07:56.080 --> 00:07:59.180
- because I live in His presence.
- 00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:02.080
- So when I wanna worship, when I wanna lift my hands,
- 00:08:03.200 --> 00:08:07.130
- I don't have to go to another place,
- 00:08:08.190 --> 00:08:11.270
- all I have to do is to remain faithful in where I am,
- 00:08:11.270 --> 00:08:16.030
- and lift my hands, and give Him praise and adoration,
- 00:08:16.030 --> 00:08:20.050
- and let Him know how much I trust Him,
- 00:08:20.050 --> 00:08:23.150
- how much I believe His Word,
- 00:08:23.150 --> 00:08:25.260
- how much I know that He's gonna do and manifest
- 00:08:25.260 --> 00:08:28.240
- everything that He has already promised.
- 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.190
- Our problem is we focus and we make everything
- 00:08:31.190 --> 00:08:35.250
- everybody else say so much bigger
- 00:08:35.250 --> 00:08:38.240
- than the only one that will keep His word.
- 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.190
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:08:41.190 --> 00:08:45.160
- You trust your husband, you trust your wife,
- 00:08:45.160 --> 00:08:49.110
- you even trust your supervisor to pay you
- 00:08:49.110 --> 00:08:51.290
- at the end of the week, and how many of you know
- 00:08:51.290 --> 00:08:55.070
- that businesses are closing every day?
- 00:08:55.070 --> 00:08:58.130
- Why is it that you trust them
- 00:08:59.280 --> 00:09:02.210
- more than the one that you would trust,
- 00:09:02.210 --> 00:09:04.210
- the one who would keep His word,
- 00:09:04.210 --> 00:09:06.210
- more than the one who have created You?
- 00:09:06.210 --> 00:09:09.280
- God says, I am not a man that I should lie,
- 00:09:11.070 --> 00:09:14.240
- neither the son of man that I should have to repent.
- 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.190
- But if I said it, - Come on.
- 00:09:20.190 --> 00:09:22.260
- - Come on, just lift your hands, just don't even sing,
- 00:09:24.230 --> 00:09:27.150
- just lift your hands and begin to worship God
- 00:09:27.150 --> 00:09:31.190
- and thank Him for who He is, and appreciate Him
- 00:09:31.190 --> 00:09:35.200
- for what He's already done.
- 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.280
- Come on, you don't have to look at me,
- 00:09:39.030 --> 00:09:40.180
- why don't you close your eyes and go 'head
- 00:09:40.180 --> 00:09:43.120
- and do what you do when you're at home
- 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.280
- in that secret place, every man lift your hands.
- 00:09:45.280 --> 00:09:49.280
- Lift your hands, there's nothing sexier than a man
- 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:54.050
- that will worship God.
- 00:09:54.050 --> 00:09:56.000
- Hallelujah, come on, let me hear your voices,
- 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:02.110
- come on, sing a new song unto the Lord.
- 00:10:03.170 --> 00:10:06.150
- Hallelujah.
- 00:10:09.040 --> 00:10:10.010
- Let me tell you this, last night we were in service, Debbie,
- 00:10:14.190 --> 00:10:18.240
- so Neil got up and he said, "This is August,"
- 00:10:20.170 --> 00:10:24.100
- and we were like, yeah, sure it is,
- 00:10:25.160 --> 00:10:28.030
- month of worshipers, sure is.
- 00:10:28.030 --> 00:10:30.220
- He said, "But it's also the eighth month,"
- 00:10:30.220 --> 00:10:34.070
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:10:35.150 --> 00:10:39.080
- He said, "It's also the eighth month."
- 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:42.100
- Pastor Mike and I wanted to jump out of our skin.
- 00:10:42.100 --> 00:10:46.130
- The eighth month, eighth means the new beginnings, look,
- 00:10:47.260 --> 00:10:51.210
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:10:54.030 --> 00:10:55.270
- no, no, no, see, your worship will change your focus.
- 00:10:55.270 --> 00:11:00.030
- This is the year of what?
- 00:11:03.090 --> 00:11:05.140
- - Change. - Of change,
- 00:11:05.140 --> 00:11:07.010
- so what we're tryin' to do with you
- 00:11:07.010 --> 00:11:09.120
- is to get you to change your focus,
- 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:12.250
- and bein' in this eighth month, this is a new day for you.
- 00:11:12.250 --> 00:11:17.000
- So this is new beginnings in your life.
- 00:11:19.010 --> 00:11:22.250
- What I would like to submit to you
- 00:11:22.250 --> 00:11:25.110
- is that this is the new year.
- 00:11:25.110 --> 00:11:28.110
- You know like New Year's Eve we come out and say,
- 00:11:28.110 --> 00:11:30.170
- Happy New Year.
- 00:11:30.170 --> 00:11:31.240
- I wanna tell you,
- 00:11:33.220 --> 00:11:35.290
- even though what you've been looking or expecting
- 00:11:35.290 --> 00:11:39.190
- hasn't happened in the last seven months,
- 00:11:39.190 --> 00:11:43.100
- you are in the eighth month of this year.
- 00:11:43.100 --> 00:11:46.230
- I decree that everything that you have desired
- 00:11:48.020 --> 00:11:51.270
- to see changed, will be changed this month.
- 00:11:55.010 --> 00:11:58.180
- Come on, worship God.
- 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.020
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:12:02.020 --> 00:12:03.270
- Come on.
- 00:12:03.270 --> 00:12:04.220
- Come on!
- 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.070
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:12:09.070 --> 00:12:11.290
- Hallelujah!
- 00:12:11.290 --> 00:12:13.190
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:12:13.190 --> 00:12:16.290
- Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
- 00:12:17.280 --> 00:12:19.260
- Pastor Mike, he got so bold, and he looked at me
- 00:12:24.270 --> 00:12:28.270
- at the 8 o'clock service and he said,
- 00:12:30.190 --> 00:12:33.080
- "DeeDee, you would like this,"
- 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.230
- and I say, okay, what is it?
- 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.170
- He said, "I decree that this month will be the month
- 00:12:40.170 --> 00:12:44.220
- "I see my manifestation in my health."
- 00:12:45.230 --> 00:12:48.200
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.210
- I'm like, alright then.
- 00:12:50.210 --> 00:12:52.270
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:12:52.270 --> 00:12:56.180
- Listen to me,
- 00:12:56.180 --> 00:12:57.200
- your manifestation is in your mouth,
- 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:04.080
- it's in your mouth.
- 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:09.260
- If you don't like how your life presently is,
- 00:13:12.030 --> 00:13:15.250
- open your mouth, begin to decree and to declare
- 00:13:17.090 --> 00:13:21.060
- those things that you wanna see happen in your life.
- 00:13:23.170 --> 00:13:27.140
- The Bible says, oh say, she's goin' to the Bible,
- 00:13:27.140 --> 00:13:30.050
- she goin' to the Bible, the Bible says, whatsoever,
- 00:13:30.050 --> 00:13:34.150
- say whatsoever. - Whatsoever.
- 00:13:34.150 --> 00:13:36.080
- - Whatsoever we don't like here on this earth, bind it.
- 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:40.130
- What we like in the heavens, loosen.
- 00:13:41.250 --> 00:13:44.250
- Where did the power start?
- 00:13:45.220 --> 00:13:48.070
- It started in the earth.
- 00:13:48.070 --> 00:13:50.070
- I knew these two had somethin' to say,
- 00:13:53.190 --> 00:13:56.140
- I asked Breeland a second ago, and she told me no,
- 00:13:56.140 --> 00:13:59.280
- I knew she had somethin'.
- 00:13:59.280 --> 00:14:01.150
- I kept lookin' at Debbie, Debbie wouldn't look at me,
- 00:14:01.150 --> 00:14:03.290
- and then when they both looked at me,
- 00:14:03.290 --> 00:14:05.180
- see, I'mma tell you somethin',
- 00:14:05.180 --> 00:14:06.230
- when you are sensitive in the Spirit,
- 00:14:06.230 --> 00:14:09.260
- and when you're in worship, no,
- 00:14:09.260 --> 00:14:12.030
- when you live a life of worship,
- 00:14:12.030 --> 00:14:15.160
- you will sense in here and know and recognize
- 00:14:15.160 --> 00:14:18.210
- the voice of God.
- 00:14:18.210 --> 00:14:20.030
- I'm telling you, you will automatically know
- 00:14:21.070 --> 00:14:23.200
- if this is God speaking to you,
- 00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.220
- because Satan can't enter into God's presence.
- 00:14:25.220 --> 00:14:29.170
- Satan can't come into worship.
- 00:14:32.010 --> 00:14:34.160
- So when you're in worship, you are sensitive,
- 00:14:35.260 --> 00:14:39.110
- and you'll hear the voice of God so clear,
- 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:44.010
- and He'll say, yeah, do that, say that,
- 00:14:44.010 --> 00:14:46.090
- don't do that, don't say that.
- 00:14:46.090 --> 00:14:48.200
- And Debbie, I was over here and I was like, yes,
- 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:52.230
- and jumpin' like this.
- 00:14:52.230 --> 00:14:54.180
- I was like, thank You, Jesus,
- 00:14:56.060 --> 00:14:59.010
- because I remember Debbie about 15 years ago
- 00:14:59.010 --> 00:15:02.230
- when they told me I had Rheumatoid Arthritis,
- 00:15:04.150 --> 00:15:07.010
- and I couldn't put on my shoes
- 00:15:07.010 --> 00:15:09.040
- 'cause my feet would swell up so bad,
- 00:15:09.040 --> 00:15:11.210
- and how it used to pain me and ache me.
- 00:15:11.210 --> 00:15:15.020
- I'm not talkin' about just typical wear,
- 00:15:15.020 --> 00:15:17.220
- like your feet hurt 'cause you got on high heels,
- 00:15:17.220 --> 00:15:21.000
- I'm talkin' about Rheumatoid where they swelled
- 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:23.130
- and they start to reshape themselves.
- 00:15:23.130 --> 00:15:25.280
- And I'm sayin' uh huh, uh huh, Kelly, no,
- 00:15:25.280 --> 00:15:29.100
- uh huh, I don't receive that.
- 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.120
- So I remember, say she remember.
- 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.180
- - She remembered. - That's the power
- 00:15:34.180 --> 00:15:36.020
- of your remembering, stop remembering everything
- 00:15:36.020 --> 00:15:38.000
- that the enemy wants you to remember,
- 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:40.020
- and remember the past victories you have
- 00:15:40.020 --> 00:15:43.010
- so you can live out your presence victories.
- 00:15:43.010 --> 00:15:45.260
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:15:45.260 --> 00:15:48.000
- So I remember when I got home, I put on some heels,
- 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:52.050
- not flats, I put on some heels, and I got in my driveway,
- 00:15:53.160 --> 00:15:58.070
- I said, I refuse to have Rheumatoid,
- 00:15:58.070 --> 00:16:01.090
- God, I worship You because Your Word is true,
- 00:16:04.050 --> 00:16:07.280
- and I trust You.
- 00:16:08.230 --> 00:16:10.220
- All of Your promises are yes and Amen,
- 00:16:10.220 --> 00:16:13.270
- that by Your stripes I am healed!
- 00:16:15.170 --> 00:16:18.090
- You are here
- 00:16:20.180 --> 00:16:20.220
- And then number six, right?
- 00:16:25.230 --> 00:16:26.250
- You got six?
- 00:16:26.250 --> 00:16:27.250
- Number one, you must study God's word,
- 00:16:29.060 --> 00:16:31.050
- number two, pray, number three, practice fellowship,
- 00:16:31.050 --> 00:16:34.090
- number four, make disciples, number five, sacrifice,
- 00:16:34.090 --> 00:16:38.230
- number six, you must be a good steward.
- 00:16:38.230 --> 00:16:42.120
- Say a good steward.
- 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:43.110
- - [Congregation] A good steward.
- 00:16:43.110 --> 00:16:44.250
- - Number seven we're going to try to cover today
- 00:16:44.250 --> 00:16:46.050
- and eight, you must serve others,
- 00:16:46.050 --> 00:16:48.180
- and you must display the proper kind of conduct.
- 00:16:48.180 --> 00:16:52.180
- Now when I was going through this lesson,
- 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:56.140
- boy I wish, I mean, I'll tell you,
- 00:16:56.140 --> 00:16:58.140
- I was so convicted, because this lesson made me wish
- 00:16:58.140 --> 00:17:03.150
- I acted like I was supposed to act
- 00:17:03.150 --> 00:17:05.270
- all of my Christian walk.
- 00:17:05.270 --> 00:17:08.000
- I didn't get too many amens out of that, but
- 00:17:12.120 --> 00:17:14.200
- you will feel the same way after I'm finished.
- 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:18.190
- Hunch your neighbor say, you better cool believe that,
- 00:17:18.190 --> 00:17:20.180
- you better cool believe that.
- 00:17:20.180 --> 00:17:23.110
- Matthew 25, let's go there.
- 00:17:23.110 --> 00:17:25.210
- Matthew 25, let's look at verse number 34.
- 00:17:25.210 --> 00:17:29.060
- Glory to God, I'm setting you up like a mullet.
- 00:17:31.100 --> 00:17:35.070
- (chuckles) I'm setting you up, boy,
- 00:17:36.110 --> 00:17:38.200
- this is gonna bless your life, yes indeed.
- 00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:42.030
- Now,
- 00:17:44.150 --> 00:17:45.100
- let me make sure this is clear to you.
- 00:17:47.210 --> 00:17:50.050
- The only reason you are on this earth today as a believer
- 00:17:50.050 --> 00:17:54.100
- is so that you might carry out the plan of Jesus Christ
- 00:17:56.030 --> 00:17:59.130
- to reach other men and women
- 00:17:59.130 --> 00:18:01.110
- with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
- 00:18:01.110 --> 00:18:04.070
- It is with this understanding in mind
- 00:18:04.070 --> 00:18:06.200
- that we accept the plan to follow Christ
- 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:10.030
- and to disciple others.
- 00:18:10.030 --> 00:18:12.240
- Some people think the extent of their receiving Jesus
- 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:16.220
- is having
- 00:18:16.220 --> 00:18:17.170
- enter into heaven card.
- 00:18:19.280 --> 00:18:21.250
- But if salvation was simply about your going to heaven,
- 00:18:23.090 --> 00:18:27.100
- when you receive Jesus Christ,
- 00:18:27.100 --> 00:18:29.170
- you should've just went on to heaven.
- 00:18:29.170 --> 00:18:32.200
- But there's much more involved
- 00:18:34.210 --> 00:18:37.020
- in your accepting Jesus Christ as Lord,
- 00:18:37.020 --> 00:18:39.200
- because he expected that your life would represent
- 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:43.190
- what his life represented on earth
- 00:18:43.190 --> 00:18:46.110
- and just like you've been drawn to him by his love,
- 00:18:46.110 --> 00:18:50.180
- the others in your life will be joined
- 00:18:50.180 --> 00:18:54.060
- and drawn to you by the love of God
- 00:18:54.060 --> 00:18:57.040
- that you display and exhibit from Christ.
- 00:18:58.100 --> 00:19:01.170
- Notice the Bible calls us the salt of the earth.
- 00:19:02.290 --> 00:19:06.160
- The Bible calls us the light of the world.
- 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:10.120
- And not many believers are sprinkling the salt
- 00:19:10.120 --> 00:19:14.070
- that comes from the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ
- 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.290
- in the lives of others, so that their lives can be
- 00:19:18.290 --> 00:19:23.020
- translated into the kind of flavor
- 00:19:23.020 --> 00:19:26.150
- that God intended for them to have in their life.
- 00:19:26.150 --> 00:19:28.270
- Notice the Bible says, taste and see that the Lord is good.
- 00:19:28.270 --> 00:19:32.110
- I'm preaching better than you realize.
- 00:19:32.110 --> 00:19:34.240
- Unfortunately, there are more salt substitutes in the earth.
- 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:38.290
- (congregation mumbles)
- 00:19:39.280 --> 00:19:42.170
- (chuckles) I'm just having myself a good time.
- 00:19:42.170 --> 00:19:44.230
- I'm preaching good all by myself.
- 00:19:44.230 --> 00:19:47.270
- And there are some who have
- 00:19:47.270 --> 00:19:50.050
- chosen a salt substitute,
- 00:19:51.090 --> 00:19:53.210
- because they want to reduce the sodium amount
- 00:19:53.210 --> 00:19:56.230
- of intake that they have.
- 00:19:56.230 --> 00:19:58.110
- But when it comes to the body of Christ,
- 00:19:58.110 --> 00:20:01.140
- you can't use a salt substitute
- 00:20:01.140 --> 00:20:04.210
- to sprinkle the earth with the flavor of God
- 00:20:04.210 --> 00:20:07.290
- and expect for the world to respond to you.
- 00:20:07.290 --> 00:20:11.160
- I mean, use that stuff and then you sprinkle it
- 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:14.270
- and you just say, wait a minute.
- 00:20:14.270 --> 00:20:16.080
- Taste and (whines).
- 00:20:16.080 --> 00:20:17.200
- It never seems like it's enough.
- 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:19.070
- And there are a lot of salt decoys in the body of Christ.
- 00:20:19.070 --> 00:20:23.120
- Turn to your neighbor and say he may be talking about you
- 00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:27.160
- and you didn't even realize it.
- 00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:30.040
- Watch this.
- 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:33.280
- Verse 34.
- 00:20:35.030 --> 00:20:35.280
- Jesus is speaking here.
- 00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:39.290
- Then the king will say to those
- 00:20:39.290 --> 00:20:43.000
- who are on his right hand.
- 00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:45.060
- Look up for a moment, look up, look up.
- 00:20:45.060 --> 00:20:48.130
- When we all get around the judgment seat,
- 00:20:50.050 --> 00:20:53.190
- the bema seat of Christ, when we all get around,
- 00:20:53.190 --> 00:20:57.190
- and you look up and realize your there,
- 00:20:58.250 --> 00:21:01.170
- let me help you out with something.
- 00:21:01.170 --> 00:21:04.160
- Make sure
- 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:05.110
- that you are on his right side.
- 00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:09.000
- (congregation laughs)
- 00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:11.060
- I'm just saying.
- 00:21:11.060 --> 00:21:12.160
- Hunch your neighbor and say he a good pastor,
- 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:13.280
- he trying to look out for you.
- 00:21:13.280 --> 00:21:15.050
- (congregation laughs)
- 00:21:15.050 --> 00:21:16.060
- I'm just saying.
- 00:21:16.060 --> 00:21:17.120
- There's something gonna happen to those
- 00:21:17.120 --> 00:21:18.210
- who are on his right side,
- 00:21:18.210 --> 00:21:20.110
- and something gonna happen to those who are on the left.
- 00:21:20.110 --> 00:21:22.010
- So when you get there, if you look up
- 00:21:22.010 --> 00:21:23.190
- and you see you on the left, kind of, you know,
- 00:21:23.190 --> 00:21:26.230
- (congregation laughs)
- 00:21:26.230 --> 00:21:29.280
- do something, you ain't gotta tell everybody, 'cause,
- 00:21:31.290 --> 00:21:34.060
- they may give you away, if everybody trying to sneak.
- 00:21:34.060 --> 00:21:36.180
- You find out Jesus is right here,
- 00:21:36.180 --> 00:21:40.040
- and you find them many left, ooh.
- 00:21:40.040 --> 00:21:42.240
- You gonna wanna, you gonna wanna, you know, do something.
- 00:21:44.060 --> 00:21:47.280
- Lean on somebody, the stuck up one,
- 00:21:53.270 --> 00:21:55.120
- or the bad breath one, which one you lean on,
- 00:21:55.120 --> 00:21:59.150
- and say there's a good pastor in this church,
- 00:21:59.150 --> 00:22:02.150
- there's a good pastor in this church.
- 00:22:02.150 --> 00:22:05.170
- He said, watch this,
- 00:22:07.250 --> 00:22:10.040
- king will say to those who are on his right hand,
- 00:22:10.040 --> 00:22:12.200
- come you blessed of my Father,
- 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.050
- inherit the kingdom prepared for you
- 00:22:16.290 --> 00:22:20.050
- from the foundation of the world.
- 00:22:20.050 --> 00:22:23.100
- Great God from Zion.
- 00:22:23.100 --> 00:22:25.210
- A kingdom that's been prepared
- 00:22:25.210 --> 00:22:27.120
- from the foundation of the world
- 00:22:27.120 --> 00:22:28.190
- has been prepared for us.
- 00:22:28.190 --> 00:22:30.200
- Now folks, I've been in some
- 00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:31.260
- of the most luxurious and exotic hotels.
- 00:22:31.260 --> 00:22:34.080
- One of my next stops, 'cause I got to see this for myself,
- 00:22:34.080 --> 00:22:38.020
- some of the things that are going over across the water.
- 00:22:38.020 --> 00:22:40.270
- My next stop, one of my next stops is Dubai.
- 00:22:40.270 --> 00:22:44.000
- Gotta check that out.
- 00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:45.170
- I had the opportunity to go about four or five years ago
- 00:22:45.170 --> 00:22:48.040
- and I declined, but I gotta get over there to Dubai.
- 00:22:48.040 --> 00:22:51.050
- It's some of the most exquisite hotels.
- 00:22:51.050 --> 00:22:54.270
- I mean, I've been in places where you could just look around
- 00:22:54.270 --> 00:22:57.160
- like and your jaw would drop.
- 00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:59.280
- Like, ugh!
- 00:23:01.010 --> 00:23:01.260
- Now watch this.
- 00:23:03.090 --> 00:23:05.070
- If your jaw will drop and walking into a hotel lobby
- 00:23:05.070 --> 00:23:09.180
- or walking around Vegas and seeing some of the stuff there,
- 00:23:09.180 --> 00:23:12.130
- Paris, or some of the historic buildings.
- 00:23:12.130 --> 00:23:15.100
- If your jaw, how much more,
- 00:23:15.100 --> 00:23:17.160
- if God put that kind of creativity in the mind of man,
- 00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:21.210
- he put it into man, imagine what this kingdom
- 00:23:23.020 --> 00:23:25.290
- that has been prepared for you.
- 00:23:25.290 --> 00:23:29.090
- Hunch your neighbor and say, you ain't gonna want
- 00:23:29.090 --> 00:23:30.270
- to miss heaven, I'm telling you.
- 00:23:30.270 --> 00:23:32.140
- Push that person in front of you again and say,
- 00:23:32.140 --> 00:23:35.100
- you don't wanna miss heaven.
- 00:23:35.100 --> 00:23:37.060
- Scripture said he that winneth souls
- 00:23:37.130 --> 00:23:38.290
- - [Congregation] Is wise.
- 00:23:38.290 --> 00:23:39.290
- - Is wise.
- 00:23:39.290 --> 00:23:41.050
- So now while I'm around certain individuals,
- 00:23:41.050 --> 00:23:42.280
- Paul said although everything is lawful,
- 00:23:42.280 --> 00:23:46.250
- everything is not expedient.
- 00:23:46.250 --> 00:23:49.120
- It's not good for me to do certain things
- 00:23:49.120 --> 00:23:51.160
- when I'm around those who are on the outside,
- 00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:54.050
- because they aren't gonna understand.
- 00:23:54.050 --> 00:23:55.290
- Like, if you get an unbeliever in your car
- 00:23:55.290 --> 00:23:57.240
- and you like listening to jazz,
- 00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:59.220
- you need to turn your jazz station to a gospel station
- 00:23:59.220 --> 00:24:02.270
- so that unbeliever won't get mixed up about,
- 00:24:02.270 --> 00:24:05.230
- 'cause they thinking, you say you a Christian,
- 00:24:05.230 --> 00:24:08.010
- see, and I gotta be wise
- 00:24:08.010 --> 00:24:09.260
- when I'm around the unbeliever than a believer.
- 00:24:09.260 --> 00:24:13.110
- a believer knows the liberty that we have
- 00:24:13.110 --> 00:24:15.150
- is not subjected to that kind of music.
- 00:24:15.150 --> 00:24:18.230
- Some of the music, of course, is vulgar,
- 00:24:20.080 --> 00:24:22.050
- you shouldn't be listening to it at all.
- 00:24:22.050 --> 00:24:25.150
- Are you understanding what I'm saying?
- 00:24:27.050 --> 00:24:28.110
- So I have to be aware of that person
- 00:24:28.110 --> 00:24:30.130
- who's on the outside that's around me.
- 00:24:30.130 --> 00:24:33.190
- Like where are my wine drinkers at?
- 00:24:33.190 --> 00:24:35.100
- Where are my winebibbers?
- 00:24:35.100 --> 00:24:37.010
- Where are my wine, why, why, why, why?
- 00:24:37.010 --> 00:24:40.070
- I didn't think they were gonna lift their hands.
- 00:24:40.070 --> 00:24:42.120
- (congregation laughs)
- 00:24:42.120 --> 00:24:44.080
- Okay, okay.
- 00:24:44.080 --> 00:24:45.270
- There's another group.
- 00:24:45.270 --> 00:24:47.290
- Where are my adulterers at?
- 00:24:47.290 --> 00:24:49.050
- Where, where, where.
- 00:24:49.050 --> 00:24:50.240
- Since y'all anteing up like.
- 00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:52.180
- (congregation laughs)
- 00:24:52.180 --> 00:24:55.220
- Where are my whoremongers?
- 00:24:55.220 --> 00:24:56.260
- Any whoremongers come on.
- 00:24:56.260 --> 00:24:58.290
- Like Tyson, let me say, listen,
- 00:24:59.260 --> 00:25:01.200
- you can't find one Scripture in this Bible
- 00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:03.290
- where it says you are in sin if you drink wine.
- 00:25:03.290 --> 00:25:07.090
- You can't.
- 00:25:07.090 --> 00:25:08.180
- (congregation laughs)
- 00:25:08.180 --> 00:25:11.230
- The wine people say yes.
- 00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:13.260
- Yes!
- 00:25:13.260 --> 00:25:15.090
- That's, this my church.
- 00:25:15.090 --> 00:25:17.060
- I've been waiting for somebody to address this.
- 00:25:18.180 --> 00:25:20.260
- (congregation laughs)
- 00:25:20.260 --> 00:25:24.120
- Lord Jesus, I.
- 00:25:24.120 --> 00:25:25.170
- Just blew that hat right in the creek, boy.
- 00:25:35.190 --> 00:25:37.180
- Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 00:25:37.180 --> 00:25:40.010
- Scripture just talking about wine in excess
- 00:25:45.180 --> 00:25:49.110
- where you're drunk.
- 00:25:49.110 --> 00:25:51.140
- But when I was drinking, I never knew where that line was.
- 00:25:51.140 --> 00:25:54.040
- (congregation laughs)
- 00:25:54.040 --> 00:25:56.020
- I couldn't find the line.
- 00:25:56.020 --> 00:25:57.140
- Maybe you know the line, but you say I'm drinking
- 00:25:57.140 --> 00:25:59.070
- to take the edge off.
- 00:25:59.070 --> 00:26:00.150
- What's the edge?
- 00:26:00.150 --> 00:26:01.250
- There got to be some level of intoxication.
- 00:26:01.250 --> 00:26:05.120
- But watch this, I know Scriptures,
- 00:26:07.040 --> 00:26:08.180
- plenty of Scriptures talk about protecting your witness.
- 00:26:08.180 --> 00:26:12.190
- And that kings and priests don't take
- 00:26:14.120 --> 00:26:17.230
- of wine and strong drinks.
- 00:26:17.230 --> 00:26:20.190
- I'm calling me a king and a priest.
- 00:26:20.190 --> 00:26:24.060
- So as a king and a priest, I gotta represent my kingship.
- 00:26:24.060 --> 00:26:28.110
- And furthermore, somebody who's around me,
- 00:26:30.100 --> 00:26:33.140
- if I'm drinking, why, come on and imagine
- 00:26:33.140 --> 00:26:35.200
- if you saw me with a glass of wine.
- 00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:37.160
- You'd be like, I thought he was a preacher, oh!
- 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.000
- OMG, he ain't, he ain't a.
- 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:43.260
- (congregation laughs)
- 00:26:43.260 --> 00:26:46.290
- Come on.
- 00:26:49.150 --> 00:26:50.100
- Ain't one Scripture in the Bible said
- 00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:54.290
- you going to hell if you smoke.
- 00:26:54.290 --> 00:26:57.170
- Matter of fact, you going to heaven long before a lot of us.
- 00:27:00.060 --> 00:27:02.260
- (congregation laughs)
- 00:27:02.260 --> 00:27:06.010
- - Ladies and Gentleman, I believe
- 00:27:19.030 --> 00:27:20.180
- it's a greater sin to not get back up and fight again.
- 00:27:20.180 --> 00:27:24.190
- That's what God wants you to do.
- 00:27:25.260 --> 00:27:27.080
- When you fall, he says rise up and go forward.
- 00:27:27.080 --> 00:27:30.240
- (clapping)
- 00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:32.160
- - We don't just survive things,
- 00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:35.060
- we overcome in every area of our lives.
- 00:27:35.060 --> 00:27:38.130
- - God has some design the human mechanism,
- 00:27:40.270 --> 00:27:44.070
- the spirit, soul, and body
- 00:27:44.070 --> 00:27:45.260
- that your life begins to move in the direction
- 00:27:45.260 --> 00:27:49.240
- of what you see.
- 00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:51.170
- - You got to visualize.
- 00:27:51.170 --> 00:27:53.080
- You gotta verbalize.
- 00:27:53.080 --> 00:27:55.020
- You gotta internalize until it materializes.
- 00:27:55.020 --> 00:27:58.230
- - If you see health, your body will move in that direction.
- 00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:06.260
- - Whew.
- 00:28:06.260 --> 00:28:07.210
