Thank you, 5 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: Father for delivering me out of the kingdom of darkness. 6 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: You purchased me out of the hands of the enemy 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: through the innocent blood of your sacrificial Lamb. My Lord 8 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: and Savior Jesus Christ, I have been legally transferred into 9 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: your kingdom. The transaction price was one life for another. 10 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: It was Christ's life in exchange for mine. Sat no 11 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: longer has any legal claim on me. Through your son's blood, 12 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: I have been redeemed, and all my sins are forgiven. 13 00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: Ah Glory Selah. Think, meditate and well on that reality 14 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: for a minute. Amazing. The King of Heaven is governed 15 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: by the laws of justice and mercy. I have little 16 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: understanding of the magnitude of those kingdom principles, but I 17 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: am grateful.

I actually I'm not offended by that. 42 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 4: I understand that there are people out here who are 43 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 4: the product of a very contentious environment, and I realized 44 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 4: politics by nature. 45 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 2: Is extremely contentious. 46 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 4: We just finished the government shut down, the longest one 47 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 4: in history, and there are a lot of people in 48 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 4: America that are suffering. 49 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 2: This is what I like to call the poison of politics. 50 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: And there are a lot of people, a. 51 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 4: Lot of people who I feel of the Lord, a 52 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 4: lot of people that I feel like are great pastors. 53 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 4: They're great leaders, but at the end of the day, 54 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 4: they've never had to deal with the questions that I've 55 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 4: had to deal with, and a number one question that 56 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 4: I've had to deal with as being a pastor. Was 57 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 4: born and raised on the East side of Detroit, mentored 58 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 4: by murderers. My dad is in prison for murder. I 59 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 4: was shot at when I was eleven years old. I 60 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 4: remember the first time when my friends they forced me 61 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 4: to consider killing somebody because of a fight in middle school. 62 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 4: I mean, I remember the first time I was taken 63 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 4: to my friends' basement and he showed me guns because 64 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 4: these guys jumped me, right, I mean, I remember that 65 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 4: context that I remember being in that atmosphere. It when 66 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 4: you are on the corner of Kilborn and Queen of 67 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 4: Detroit and you're raised at one four and nine four 68 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 4: one the net between Queen and Hayes. And you are 69 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 4: battling this paradigm, in this mindset. 70 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 2: Of demonic influence. What do you do? Jesus changed my life. 71 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,799 Speaker 4: When Jesus changed my life, I was called into ministry, 72 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 4: and when I called in the ministry, I preached my first 73 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 4: sermon at nineteen years old. And a lot of people 74 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 4: they look at my life right now and they're like, Okay, 75 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 4: how did you get where you are today? Specifically as 76 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 4: it relates to politics. The president spending as much time 77 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 4: as we spend Capitol Hill, the White House, and we 78 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 4: quite frankly preach follow the world. 79 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: Now, why are you so are involved in politics? 80 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 4: Well, I'm want to read something to you, and when 81 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 4: you reach voting, the same word that you're going to see, 82 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 4: actually is the same word that Jesus used for church. 83 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 4: And I want to read this to you. It's in 84 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 4: a Book of Matthew, chapter number sixteen. It's the very 85 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 4: familiar pastors of scripture. The same word when you if 86 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 4: you were to google voting and where originated from it 87 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 4: originated in the ecclesia or the ecclesia. 88 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 2: The same word that Jesus used to describe the Church. 89 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 4: And this is what Jesus says. And he says this 90 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 4: in a context of being on a city that was 91 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 4: built by an emperor. 92 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 2: For a king. 93 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 4: We know that Cesarea Philippi was built by Philip for 94 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 4: Caesar and this king, so to speak, build it for 95 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 4: this emperor. And Jesus in that place he says these words. 96 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 4: He says, who do people say that the son of 97 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 4: Man is? And they said, some say John the Baptist, 98 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 4: some say Elijah, and others Jemaiah are one of the prophets. 99 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 4: And he said to them, behoodof you, say that I 100 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 4: am Simon. Peter replied, you are the Christ, the son 101 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 4: of the Living God. And Jesus answered him, blessed are you, 102 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 4: Simon bear Jonah, For flesh and blood has not revealed 103 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 4: this to you, but my Father, who is in heaven. 104 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 4: And I tell you you are Peter, And on this 105 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 4: rock I will build my Church, and the gates of 106 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 4: Hell shall not prevail against him. And I will give 107 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 4: you the keys of the Kingdom. And whenever you bind 108 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 4: on earth, shall be bound in heaven. And whatever you 109 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 4: loose on earth shall be loosen in Heaven. Then He 110 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 4: strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he 111 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 4: was the Mashiah, the anointed, the Christ. 112 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 2: Now why would Jesus do that? 113 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 4: Because Jesus knew that everyone cannot understand Number One, with 114 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 4: the church, with this ecclesaia, this gathering, this assembly of 115 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 4: his people to make political decisions, to make policies, to 116 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 4: make rules, to influence laws. He knew that people would 117 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 4: not understand that, and he knew people wouldn't understand who 118 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 4: he was, So he did what he did oftentimes told people, 119 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 4: don't tell people who I am. 120 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: We see when he was. 121 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 4: At the well with the woman, he never told her 122 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 4: not to say anything, and cities came to him because 123 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 4: of it. What a mighty god we serve Jesus Christ. 124 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 4: When he used the word ecclesia, this word was used 125 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 4: to describe an assembly that made political decisions. In Jesus, 126 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 4: he wants to clarify the confusion. A lot of people 127 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 4: are confused about him being maybe Jeremiah, maybe he is Elijah, 128 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 4: maybe he's one of the prophets that he says, no, 129 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 4: who do you say that I am? 130 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 2: In Simon? 131 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 4: What's so powerful? Is not Simon speaking up with the 132 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 4: silence of everybody else. And there are so many people 133 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 4: that are church goers that are not involved in politics 134 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 4: because they just don't know who Jesus is. There are 135 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 4: so many people who love the Lord, their God with 136 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 4: all their heart, minds, old in strength, but they've limited 137 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 4: Jesus to just the pew and not politics. There are 138 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 4: so many people that give God glory in a building, 139 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 4: but don't understand that He wants to use their story 140 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 4: to give him glory in government. So it is we 141 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 4: are in a position that we're in right now is 142 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 4: a nation. We are fighting for the soul of a nation. 143 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 4: And that gets back to the very answer the question 144 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 4: that I lay before you. I'm always talking about President 145 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 4: Trump because God used our president. He used our president 146 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 4: to release a manto. Now what do I mean by this? 147 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 4: What does this mean? 148 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: To release a mantom? We see a scripture, specifically in 149 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 2: the Book of Second Kings. 150 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 4: We see that there is a prophet, Elijah, and the 151 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 4: reason why God called the prophet so prophets can hold 152 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 4: kings accountable. So it is Elijah. Prophets were also annoyed kings. 153 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 4: Remember Samuel who was the first prophet. Samuel anointed the 154 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 4: first king Saul, and he also anointed his successor David. 155 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 4: It's also prophets that select kings. We know that God 156 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 4: used Samuel to select David, and also prophets they advised kings, 157 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 4: they advised annoy, and they select kings all up under 158 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 4: the spirit of the Living God. And there was another 159 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 4: prophet in that succession, so to speak. We have the 160 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 4: prophet Elijah, and he was in a context where we 161 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 4: understand that there was an evil king and the evil 162 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 4: queen Aha ben jez Belle. So God used this prophet 163 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 4: to speak truth to power. And that's what God is 164 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 4: doing with believers all over the world. 165 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 2: He's using people like me, He's using people like you. 166 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 4: He wants to equip you to speak truth to power 167 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 4: on local government, in your county government, your state legislature, 168 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 4: and all so in federal government. God wants to use 169 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 4: the church to speak the congressmen, congresswomen, senators, judges, speak 170 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 4: truth to power. Why is that because if the Church 171 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 4: doesn't do it, who will do it. The Bible teaches 172 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 4: that we are the light of the world. We are 173 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 4: the sought of the earth. The Bible says that we 174 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 4: should do good deeds so that people will glorify our Father, 175 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 4: which is in heaven. The Bible says the goodness of 176 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 4: God will lead men to repentance. It is the church 177 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 4: that is the only hope of a lost, broken and 178 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 4: fallen world. So it is the church is called to 179 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 4: be involved in politics. Why because when Jesus said the 180 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 4: word echless say or ecclesia, he meant a governing body 181 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 4: of people that are called out to bind, to lose, 182 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 4: to forbid, to allow what he already allowed, would he 183 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 4: already loosened that He wants it to be done on 184 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 4: earth as it is in heaven. That's why we pray 185 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 4: that great prayer Our Father, which are in heaven hollow 186 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 4: it be thy name, thy Kingdom Come, that will be done. 187 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 2: But how is that going to happen? It happens on 188 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 2: earth as it is in heaven. 189 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 4: How does that happen? It happens when the people that 190 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 4: get involved in politics. Because we're filled with the spirit, 191 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 4: we'll fear with the power of God, We're filled with 192 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 4: the anointing of God. It's you and I that are 193 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 4: called to righteously regulate resources. And that's what politics is. 194 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 4: It's the righteous regulation of resources. Politics, it's the business 195 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 4: of the people. I'm not talking about poisonous politics that 196 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 4: we just saw with the government shut down, and I'm not. 197 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 2: Talking about potters and politics. 198 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 4: I'm talking about you and I being used by the 199 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 4: spirit of the Living God to do what only we 200 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 4: can do, speak truth to power. Only we have built 201 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 4: within us the calling to be righteous stewards over resources. 202 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 4: Only you and I have within us what it takes 203 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 4: to give people a hand up and not a hand out. 204 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 4: Only you and I the Church of the Living God. 205 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 4: Only believers in Jesus Christ have the ability to make 206 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 4: disciples and not make people feel entyped titled because we 207 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 4: enabled them. 208 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 2: Let me say this because this is important before we 209 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 2: go to the text. 210 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 4: Of scripture here, before we talk about Elisha and Elijah 211 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 4: a matta that President Trump released on My Life and 212 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 4: released on the nation. 213 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 2: Listen to you all. This is really important. When people 214 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 2: need something one time, they're grateful. 215 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 4: All of us find ourselves in an emergency where we 216 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 4: need our support system and in the context that God 217 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 4: has called us to serve heroinany church, that's more oftentimes 218 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 4: than not that we find people that are in a 219 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 4: situation where they really do need the church to be 220 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 4: the handsome feet of Christ to be that good Samaritan, 221 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 4: as it were, because they're beaten and have dead on 222 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 4: the side of the road, bleeding out, because life has 223 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 4: caused them to be robbed. 224 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: To be beaten, to be bruised. 225 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 4: We find ourselves oftentimes in this church with people like that. 226 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 4: When they come, God wants us to love them and 227 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 4: to disciples. When you give someone something, the first time, 228 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 4: they're grateful. But the second time when you give somebody something, 229 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 4: sometimes are helping hurts. When we give somebody something, then 230 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 4: what begins to happen. Well second time they begin to 231 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 4: expect it, the third time they feel entitled by it, 232 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 4: and the fourth time they depend on it. And when 233 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 4: you help somebody in an emergency, and I'm not saying 234 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 4: that we don't have emergency situations, I can tell you 235 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 4: thousands of them. I can tell you thousands of times. 236 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 4: I'm talking about individual people. Over the decade and a 237 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 4: half that I've been leading ministries. As it pertains to 238 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 4: impoverished communities, I can tell you people that are in 239 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 4: emergency situations. I can talk about wives that were divorced 240 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 4: by their husbands, living in their cars when they're helped 241 00:13:53,840 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 4: once they're grateful. The second time, they begin expecting. Third time, 242 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 4: you feel entitled. In the fourth time, it's over. They're 243 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 4: dependent and only the church can make disciples. Only the 244 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 4: church can build the relational equity with people that I 245 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 4: like to call those who are the leopards. Right, you 246 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 4: have people who are sometimes they're leopardess and they just 247 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 4: need help, and we're looking for the one person that 248 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 4: comes back and gives God glory. There's also the woman 249 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 4: at the well scenario when they just need to have 250 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 4: that in counter with Christ. They need to meet with 251 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 4: Christ so they can have their life change about Christ 252 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 4: and they'll tell the world about Christ. There's also that 253 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 4: person because the Bible says the poor will be with 254 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 4: us always. Yes, So you will find out of ten 255 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 4: people you will help, you will find out one person 256 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 4: that comes back and gives God glory like that leopard. 257 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 4: You will find people like that woman at the well 258 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 4: that needs that in counter with Christ, that will tell 259 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 4: the whole world about Jesus. And then you will find 260 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 4: that person that is laying on the matt for thirty 261 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 4: eight years. They've been in encyclical poverty. They've been in 262 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 4: cyclical homelessness for so many years. They're in a cycle 263 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 4: of it, and they're saying, can anybody help me? Nobody 264 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 4: will help you. They give excuses about everything and everybody else. 265 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 4: Only Jesus can tell that person to get up and walk. 266 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 4: Everybody that comes into our church, we don't have the 267 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 4: grace to help in every city that we're called to. 268 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 4: Over five hundred cities in America, over five hundred cities 269 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 4: around the world, one hundred and Asia, one hundred in Africa, 270 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 4: one hundred in Parsons Known, one hundred in Europe, one 271 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 4: hundred in South America. God is calling one of any 272 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 4: church to these contexts. So we can do four things transportation, housing, education, 273 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 4: and heal medical, mental and dialal illnesses. Thhe and what 274 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 4: we do for them, we do for him. 275 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 2: But when you're transporting someone to. 276 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 4: A job, you have to ask them question, where's your 277 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 4: family at No, you need transportation to a job right now. 278 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 2: We're going to help you do that. Where's your family? 279 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 4: Remember, Paul, he told in his pastoral letters his proteges. 280 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 4: He said to him, you can't help everybody that's on 281 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 4: the list, because what about their family? 282 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 2: Number two. 283 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 4: Remember, God has dignified all of us with the amago day. 284 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 4: He's given you and I his image and his likeness. 285 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 4: He has created great things for us to enjoy. The 286 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 4: second thing is what's your passion? The third thing is 287 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 4: what's your relationship with social services? The fourth thing is 288 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 4: what's your relationship with Christ. There's four questions to get 289 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 4: two questions answered, family passion, what's your relationship with social services? 290 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 4: What's your relationship with Christ? Two questions you're trying to 291 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 4: get answered. How did that person get there? And do 292 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 4: they want to be made whole? Remember John chapter number five, 293 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 4: Jesus looking at that man on the map, do you 294 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 4: want to be made well? There are some people no 295 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 4: matter how much you want to help them, they don't 296 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 4: want to be helped. But there are people that are 297 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 4: like that woman at the well. When they meet Christ 298 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 4: in you the Hope of Glory, They're gonna tell. 299 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 2: The world about him. 300 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 4: There are men like that leopardesss and one man that 301 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 4: came back and will give God glory. There are people 302 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 4: that God wants to use us as the Church to 303 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 4: help them. 304 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 2: And this is why we're involved in politics. 305 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 4: Because we believe in one of ady church that the 306 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 4: good news of Jesus Christ through good deeds gains good will. 307 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 4: We see that in the text of Scripture. We see 308 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 4: that of the good deeds of care for everybody's needs. 309 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 4: We see this in the history of the Church and acts. 310 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 4: We see that those good deeds right, it calls people 311 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 4: to have good will favor right. 312 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 2: And then we see the church grow. 313 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 4: We see the Word of God spread good deeds called 314 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 4: good will, so we can preach good news because it's 315 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 4: the goodness of God that leads people to repentance. Why 316 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 4: am I so involved in politics? I'm always talking about 317 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 4: President Trump. Why let's see the magic here. Let us 318 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 4: go to Second King's Chapter first, Second Samuel first and 319 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 4: Second Kings chapter two. The Bible says here in the west, 320 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 4: number thirteen, and he this is Eli Shah, took up 321 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 4: the cloak of Eli Jah that had fallen from him, 322 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 4: and went back and stood on the bank. 323 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 2: Of the Jordan. 324 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 4: President Donald Trump came to the church that I'm sitting 325 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 4: in right now for his birthday weekend. I'll be k 326 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 4: you imagine that a Republican had not come into the 327 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 4: city of Detroit as a presidential candidate since Reagan, right, 328 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 4: only Donald Trump was the only one to do that, 329 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 4: and he had not come into a church service to 330 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 4: listen to people until he came to this church. 331 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 2: And in that position, like Elijah. 332 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 4: Told Elisha, if you want my mantle, you have to 333 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 4: be in the right position somebody say position. And because 334 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 4: we positioned ourselves to pray for the president, he released 335 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 4: a mantle. 336 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 2: He released a mantle on. 337 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 4: Our lives that go all the way back to the 338 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 4: sixties during the Civil rights movement. It was a civil 339 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 4: rights movement that the local church caused laws to be changed. 340 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 4: It was through believers in Jesus that we see this 341 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 4: great movement. Obviously we know about doctor King and the 342 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 4: dream that he had had. We obviously know about how 343 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 4: students were sitting down at lunch counters, but they were 344 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 4: really stand up for all that was written and dug 345 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 4: deep in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution. 346 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 2: We realized it was during that time. 347 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 4: That freedom fighters of woman for it. It was the 348 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 4: church that was leading. And since that time the church 349 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 4: hasn't been involved. The local church has not been involved 350 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 4: in politics. Now, some say it was the Johnson Amendment, 351 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 4: but we know that the Johnson Amendment. 352 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 2: It did not apply to churches like mine, Black churches. 353 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 4: We see that Black churches would always promote political candidates, 354 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 4: typically Democrat, ninety nine point nine percent of the time Democrat. 355 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 4: When President Trump came to my church, I had Democratic 356 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 4: proper guid die as theirs and begin to evoke their 357 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 4: followers to threaten my life, begin to invoke their followers 358 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 4: to want to burn down my church, want to kill 359 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 4: my family. 360 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 2: Now why is that it happens? 361 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 4: Because the enemy does not want the local church to 362 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 4: be involved in politics. The enemy has a stronghold on 363 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 4: cities like Detroit, and he does not want the truth 364 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 4: of the Gospel to be shared. And when President Trump 365 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 4: released that manchl, the Lord used. 366 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 2: Him to release the mantel on the church. 367 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 4: And it was on that day that I found out 368 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 4: about election In integrity, we met the greatest political mind 369 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 4: that has ever crossed the bridge of time. 370 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 2: His name is Ramone Jackson. 371 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 4: He'll be sharing with you on I'm telling you you 372 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 4: need to. 373 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 2: Subscribe to this childel. 374 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 4: You need to share this to every single person that 375 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 4: is ever known that the elections were stolen. 376 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 2: You will have Ramon Jackson, who is the greatest political. 377 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 4: Mind that has ever crossed the bridge of time. He's 378 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 4: also our political minister here at one of the church. 379 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 4: I'm so proud of him, so proud that we are 380 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 4: able to say we are a political church. We hold 381 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 4: a teaching at the church every Friday and every Sunday, 382 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 4: called Souls to the Polls is going to be coming 383 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 4: exclusively on pray dot Com. I'm so excited about that. 384 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 4: Gives me so much joy because we have to equip 385 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 4: the church to do the work of the ministry. 386 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 2: This is why I'm involved in politics. 387 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 4: I'm involved in politics because God is calling the church 388 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 4: to fight for. 389 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 2: The soul of a nation. This is why I'm involved 390 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 2: in politics. 391 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 4: I'm involved in politics because God could have used anybody, 392 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 4: but he decided to use President Donald Trump. I'm not 393 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 4: looking at a man. I'm looking at a mission. I'm 394 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 4: not looking at a dunky or an elephant. I'm looking 395 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 4: at a lamb that was slain for the sin of 396 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 4: the world and in order for us to begin to 397 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 4: tell sinners about a savior. We do that through the 398 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 4: good deeds of the Gospel, so we can gain the 399 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 4: good will of our community, so we can preach good news. 400 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 4: There are forty five hundred churches in Detroit. If preaching 401 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 4: help poor black people, we'd be fine. You won't find 402 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 4: greater preachers then in black communities. I mean, it's just 403 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 4: the truth, right, I mean, if singing did it, right, 404 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 4: I mean, some of the greatest singers are black people. 405 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 2: If preaching did it, we wouldn't be in poverty. If 406 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:42,959 Speaker 2: singing did it, we wouldn't be in poverty. 407 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 4: Why is it that black people are on the top 408 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 4: of every list that nobody wants to be on highest foreclosure, 409 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 4: highest poverty, highest crime, highest human trafficking, highest illiteracy rates. 410 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,360 Speaker 2: Where I sit right now, why is that? 411 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 4: It's because black pastors have not been involved in politics. 412 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 4: They have been involved in propagandizing for the Democratic Party. 413 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 4: That's what's been happening. Remember, I'm not lifting up a man, 414 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 4: I'm lifting up a mission. I'm not looking at politics. 415 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 4: I'm looking at God's purpose. There's something so much deeper 416 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 4: than what we know. If we're willing to get understanding. 417 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 4: The Bible says, my people perish because of a lack 418 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 4: of knowledge, because they reject knowledge, and God said I 419 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 4: would reject you. Now, where do we see that rejection 420 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 4: happening as relates to politics. 421 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 2: Well, let us go. 422 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 4: Oh, I got another Bible I wish I could sell 423 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 4: you this in the NLT, but I'm gonna read it 424 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 4: to you. 425 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 2: In the ESV. Some Proverbs chapter number one. 426 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 4: I would encourage you to read this in the New 427 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 4: Living Translation. But look at what it says. 428 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 2: Proverbs chapter one, verse number twenty Wisdom cries. 429 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 4: Out aloud in the streets, in the markets, she raises 430 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 4: her voice, or in the public square, and at the 431 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 4: head of the noisy streets, she cries out at the 432 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 4: interest of the city gates. 433 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 2: She speaks, what is this poetic language speaking of? 434 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 4: It? 435 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 2: Speaks of? 436 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 4: What is this Wisdom being personified speaking of? Well, it's 437 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 4: Jesus speaking of his voice being lifted up in the 438 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 4: public square. Yes, Jesus is saying, I'm shouting, I'm yelling, 439 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 4: I'm lifting my voice. 440 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 2: Look at verse number twenty two. What is he Saying's saying? 441 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: How long are you simple? Ones? 442 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 4: Well, you love simplicity. How long, pastors, will you just 443 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 4: go all about preaching and singing and teaching, but yet 444 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 4: your community looks the way it does? 445 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 2: How long will you be simple? 446 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,479 Speaker 4: How long will you continue to ask poor people to 447 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,479 Speaker 4: give money they don't have to build a community that 448 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 4: they don't even want to live in. I mean, you 449 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 4: imagine that. Can you imagine that for a second. I mean, 450 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 4: I want you to really think about what I deal 451 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 4: with as a pastor. And I understand there's a lot 452 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 4: of pastors out there, and we thank. 453 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 2: God for you. We thank God for what you're doing. 454 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 4: I thank God for every pastor that pastors in an 455 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 4: affluent area. 456 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 2: I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about a pastor 457 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 2: like me. 458 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 4: I'm talking about a pastor who pastors in a context 459 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 4: with the medium income is less than twenty three thousand 460 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 4: dollars a year. I'm talking about I'm pastoring in a 461 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 4: context or right next to me there's a methadone clinic. 462 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 4: I'm talking about pastoring in a context and in a 463 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 4: construct where people just got stab for making fun of 464 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 4: a young lady because she didn't have enough money on 465 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 4: her EBT car. I'm talking about pastoring in that context. 466 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 4: I'm talking about pastoring in a context where the governor 467 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 4: said the church has to be shut down during COVID 468 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 4: and if the church isn't shut down, then we'll arrest you. 469 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 4: I'm talking about that type of context. I'm talking about 470 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 4: pastoring poor black people. I'm not talking about. I'm not 471 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 4: saying that you don't have your own set of issues 472 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 4: and influent context. I'm not saying that. What I'm saying 473 00:25:52,680 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 4: is if preaching, if singing, could bring people out of poverty, 474 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 4: then I wouldn't be talking to you today. 475 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 2: It's more. And this is exactly with Jesus saying. 476 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 4: Person of five through the Book of Proverbs, look at 477 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 4: verse number twenty two, how long will you scoffers delight 478 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 4: in scoffing, and fools hate knowledge. Remember, my people perish 479 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 4: because of a lack of knowledge, because they reject knowledge. 480 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 2: Therefore I reject them. If you turn up my reproof. 481 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 4: Now he saying, turning point, doing one eddy turn, I'm 482 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 4: correcting you. Behold, I will pour my spirit. That's exactly 483 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 4: what's happened here on one every church. God has pulled 484 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 4: out his spirit upon us. He's made his words known 485 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 4: to us. This is exactly what it says. But look 486 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 4: at what Look at the morning at verse time in 487 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 4: twenty four he said, because I've called and you refused 488 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 4: to listen, I was that guy, right, because I came 489 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 4: from a very affluent church, a fluent context. I was 490 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 4: the guy people would say, oh, don't get involved in politics. 491 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 4: I'm involved in politics because I don't have a choice. 492 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 4: They steal our properties right now. They are stealing right 493 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 4: now in the city of Detraite. They are stealing our 494 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 4: properties through something called eminent domain. That isn't a political 495 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 4: Can you imagine that? And that was the same law 496 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 4: that they used in order to kick black people out 497 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 4: in the sixties. I want you to check out I 498 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 4: want you to check out black Bottom. I want you 499 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 4: to look up emminent domain. If I wasn't involved in politics, 500 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 4: I wouldn't know that. Think about that for a second. 501 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 4: The same law the government is using my local municipal 502 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 4: municipality is using to take properties away from the church 503 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 4: that we're gonna build homes so that the church could 504 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 4: actually have a community that's safe to be able to 505 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 4: rear and raise their family, so we can begin to 506 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 4: do schools, and we can attract the right type of 507 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 4: talent around the nation, so we can be able to 508 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 4: give them homes so that they can teach in the 509 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 4: school that we're building. This city is saying, give us 510 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 4: those properties, and you know how we're gonna take it 511 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 4: from you imminent domain. Imagine that, Well, if I wasn't 512 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 4: involved in politics, I wouldn't know. What they're doing is 513 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 4: breaking the law. They're doing it through a solar project. 514 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 4: And guess who's financing it. The EPA. 515 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 2: H your federal time. Think about that for a second. 516 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 4: Your federal tax dollars is funding us having our properties 517 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 4: being stolen from us. Can you imagine that that's political? 518 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 4: It's the EPA. Now, I was up under President Joe Biden, 519 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 4: but it's the EPA. It was that legislation that funded 520 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 4: municipalities to get credits to do solar farms. Now, the 521 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 4: very property that we already are going to develop, we 522 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 4: have architects, we have a plan. The city said yes. 523 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 4: They came in and said no. And guess how much 524 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 4: they want to give us for the lots one hundred dollars. 525 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's happening to listen you all, that is 526 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 4: happening real time right now. This is the reason why 527 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 4: we're involved in politics, because politics are involved in us. 528 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 4: You are a nonprofit. I am a nonprofit. You are 529 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 4: a five oh one c three. That is a political posture. 530 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 4: That is a political statement. You are saying to the government, 531 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 4: you cannot take our money because we are the church 532 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 4: if you don't want to be involved in politics, don't 533 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 4: be a nonprofit. Why would you be a nonprofit? There, Oh, 534 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 4: there's a reason why you file. There's a reason why 535 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 4: you're a nonprofit. Because we're making a political statement. You 536 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 4: have a political posture. You are saying government, you can't 537 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 4: come in and tell me. 538 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:33,239 Speaker 2: What to do. 539 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 4: There's a separation between the church and the state. 540 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 2: This is what it means to be a nonprofit. 541 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 4: I digress, all right, So let us go verse oup 542 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 4: of twenty four. Because I have called and you refuse 543 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 4: to listen. Look at that stretch out my hand and 544 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 4: no one heed it. Look at Jesus. He's saying, I'm. 545 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 2: Telling you you need to go to the public square. 546 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 4: I'm telling you you need to be involved in politics, 547 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 4: telling you I want to pour all my spirit. 548 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 2: I'm telling you listen to my reproof. 549 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 4: But he's saying, you didn't heed verse number twenty five 550 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 4: because you have ignored all my counsel and will not 551 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 4: have none of my reproof because you haven't got involved 552 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 4: in politics. I would laugh at your calamity. Look what's 553 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 4: happening in New York. That's calamitis. Like what's happening when 554 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 4: Islami jihad is a commonist has overseeing the largest and 555 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 4: the most important city in the world, one hundred and 556 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 4: fifty three billion dollar budget, thirty four years old, never 557 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 4: ran nothing in his life. Can you imagine that that's happening? 558 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 4: And it's like, obviously this is an anthropomorphism. Jesus is 559 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 4: not laughing per se. But what happens when somebody laughs 560 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 4: at you, They're like, you chose not to do it, 561 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 4: So now my response is. 562 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 2: Like laughter, Wow, now I will mock when terror strikes 563 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 2: you Verse twenty seven. When terror strikes you like a storm, 564 00:30:59,360 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 2: and your co. 565 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 4: Comes like a whirlwind, just chaos, when distressed an anguish 566 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 4: comes upon. 567 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 2: It reminds me of COVID nineteen. 568 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 4: For every past or, every preacher, every believer that says 569 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 4: they don't want to be involved in politics. I think 570 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 4: about COVID nineteen, right, because good people do nothing. That's 571 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 4: why we have things like COVID nineteen happen. Because believers 572 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 4: are not equipping the saints to do the work of 573 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 4: the ministry and politics. This is why we see resources 574 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 4: mismanaged and misregulated. That's why we see the election fraud happening. 575 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 4: And this is the reason why I have received the 576 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 4: mantle that President Donald Trump when he came to my 577 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 4: church and blessed us with the greatest political mind that 578 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 4: has ever crossed the bridge of time Ramon and Jackson, 579 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 4: Jesus blessed us with the political prowess so we can 580 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 4: begin to defend and begin to fight, fight, fight for 581 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 4: the soul of a nation. This is the reason why 582 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 4: we're involved in politics. First number twenty eight. Then they 583 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 4: called upon me, but I would not answer. That will 584 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,239 Speaker 4: seek me diligently, but they won't find me because they 585 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 4: have hated knowledge. They didn't want to be involved in politics, 586 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 4: and they did not choose the fear of the Lord. 587 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 2: They didn't reverence me. 588 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 4: But look at this, would have none of my counsel 589 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 4: and despise my reproof. 590 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 2: Therefore, shall they eat of. 591 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 4: Their own way and have their full of their own devices. 592 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 4: For the simple are killed by turning away, and the 593 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 4: complacency of fools will destroy them. 594 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 2: Look at us, we become complacent. 595 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 4: President Donald Trump, he won people stop talking about election 596 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 4: for all people, stop talking about how they're cheating, instill 597 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 4: our resources lair. First number thirty three. But thank you God, 598 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 4: whoever listens that's me and that's you. Listen to me, 599 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 4: will dwell, secure, and will be at ease without dread 600 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 4: of disaster. Right now, we have three areas in which 601 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 4: resources need to be regulated rightly, right here in Black America, 602 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 4: right here in. 603 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 2: The most impoverished areas. 604 00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 4: Listening to you, while we are on the top of 605 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 4: every list that nobody wants to be on the resources 606 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 4: that need to be regulated rightly, HUD, we will be 607 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 4: producing a movie and showing you a documentary of what 608 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 4: has happened in the most dangerous cities in America and 609 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 4: how HUOD funding has not gone there, and quite frankly, 610 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 4: how HUD has not obeyed the law because pastors preachers. 611 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 4: Remember HUD started because a preacher was assassinated. Doctor King 612 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 4: was assassinated in April. Her legislation was passed in August, 613 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 4: and her legislation says in section three that if you 614 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 4: get government assistance, you can be trained to be contracted 615 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 4: with the government, because our government wants to give our 616 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 4: communities a hand up and not a handout. 617 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 2: That means if you're in skilled trades. 618 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 4: That means if you are in the most impoverished communities, 619 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 4: and yet you live in low income housing. The government 620 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 4: says by law that you can learn the skill trade. 621 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 4: The government says, by law you can learn technical assistance 622 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 4: skills and they will actually contract with you. But it's 623 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 4: never been obeyed to the tune of trillions of dollars. 624 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 4: It's happening right now. We also have the SBA, which 625 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 4: is quite frankly, a federally back bank. It's a bank 626 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 4: that we as Black Americans. We are the second largest 627 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 4: voting block, We are the second largest workforce, and we 628 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 4: have the second most cities. There are approximately one hundred 629 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 4: and six thousand cities in America. We have almost one 630 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 4: thousand majority of black cities, meaning that we can determine 631 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 4: our own destiny by our own voting rights, which are 632 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 4: our civil rights. 633 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 2: This is why they cheating. 634 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 4: Elections are still resources in communities like Detroit. We have 635 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 4: a three billion dollar budget, but yet we subsidize billionaires 636 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 4: and we don't regulate the HUD money correctly in order 637 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 4: to give people who are impoverty an opportunity to come 638 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 4: out of poverty. This is the reason why I'm involved 639 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 4: in politics. This is the reason I thank God for 640 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 4: President Donald Trump. This is the reason why I'm asking 641 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 4: you I'm employing you. This is why we invest pray 642 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 4: dot com to equip the saints who do the work 643 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 4: of the ministry. There is no ministry that's more important 644 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 4: than making sure righteousness rolls like water and justice like 645 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 4: We cannot just preach the Gospel and word. We must 646 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 4: preach Indeed, I'm asking you to join us and become 647 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 4: an urban missionary. 648 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 2: I'm asking you to donate. I'm asking you to give. 649 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 2: I'm asking you to. 650 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 4: Sacraly, sacrificially given the season of giving. Because without you, 651 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 4: we cannot do pray dot com. Without you, we cannot 652 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 4: continue to invest in going to different cities and be 653 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 4: again to look at what's happening in those communities. 654 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 2: We cannot do that without you. 655 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 4: We are calling you to partner with us to be 656 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 4: an urban missionary so we can go into cities like Philadelphia, 657 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 4: who has one million black voters. We want to go 658 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 4: into cities like Atlanta, cities like Baltimore. We want to 659 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 4: go into cities like Milwaukee. If we want to go 660 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 4: into cities like New Orleans, we want to go into 661 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 4: cities like Saint Louis because these are the cities that 662 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 4: we have detected and determined that there is cheating in 663 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 4: these elections. They cheat, They're still our resources. That's why 664 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 4: these communities stay in poverty. Now you would say, well, pastor, 665 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 4: what about Latinos. Whatever represents five people groups? Hive Venezuelans. 666 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 4: You have Cubans, you have Mexicans, Puerto Ricans. Right, you 667 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 4: have Dominicans. That represents five different people groups. I'm talking 668 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,879 Speaker 4: about descendants of free slaves. I'm talking about my ancestors. 669 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 4: I'm talking about the descendants of those that came across 670 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 4: this great land through a tragedy called the Transatlantic slave trade. 671 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 4: What the devil meant for evil, God is working out 672 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 4: for good and every single thing that was stolen from 673 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 4: our community. 674 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 2: God is raising up an army.
