And so 33 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: we went through the first part talking about building ourselves individually. 34 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: Last week we dealt with kind of building one another 35 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: like our spouses, our friendships. Today we're gonna deal with 36 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: building up the community or building up the culture. What 37 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 2: does this look like? What is our responsibility as God 38 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: sends us out to do his will? First thing is 39 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 2: thank you, LJ. I want you to look down your 40 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 2: role and say you have a responsibility. Okay, and so 41 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: God is gonna speak to us. Give me space today 42 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: to labor through this. It's not a short sermon today, okay, 43 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 2: but if you can just give me a second to 44 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: get through this and take my time to teach it 45 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: and talk back to me. So I've known that you're 46 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: understanding it. I promise you where we land, I think 47 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: you will be the better for it. Is that? Okay? 48 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: All right? Good deal. So let's go to Romans chapter twelve, 49 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 2: verse nine to verse ten, and then we'll skip down 50 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: and go from verse fourteen to verse twenty one. All right, 51 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: So chapter twelve, verse nine through ten, and then we'll 52 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: skip down and go through verse fourteen through twenty one. 53 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: Now I need while we're going there, what I need 54 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: you to do. It sounds real corny, but I need 55 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: you literally to pick up your thinking cap and put 56 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: it on. All right. I need you to do that 57 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: because the first part of this message is going to 58 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: sound like a history class, okay, and in black church culture, 59 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: when we start teaching too much, folks start being like, 60 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 2: the spirit ain't here. But if I don't teach you 61 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: the historical context to this, then you won't really grasp 62 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: why Paul is saying what he's saying. Hey, and you 63 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: won't grasp the importance of why you need to get 64 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: what Paul is saying to us today. Is that all right? 65 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,239 Speaker 2: All right, good, good, good, all right, Romans, Chapter twelve. 66 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 2: If you're there, say I got it. Everybody should have said. 67 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: It's on the screen, all right, who's reading first? 68 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: Don't just pretend to love others what you say, really 69 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 3: love them, hate what is thought over? 70 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, start over? All right? 71 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, don't just pretend to love others, really love them, 72 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 3: hate what is wrong. 73 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: Hold tightly to what is good. 74 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 3: Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in 75 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 3: honoring each other. 76 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: All right? Verse fourteen. 77 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 4: Bless them who persecute you. Don't curse them. Pray that 78 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 4: God will bless them. 79 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 2: Y'all struggling with this already? Huh? I love how somebody say? Uh? Huh? 80 00:05:58,960 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 2: Go ahead. 81 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 4: Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with 82 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 4: those who weep. Live in harmony with each other God. 83 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 4: Don't be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people, 84 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 4: and don't think you are you know it all. Never 85 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 4: pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such 86 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 4: a way that everyone can see you are honorable. Do 87 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 4: all that you can to live in peace with everyone. 88 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 4: Will who with everyone will? 89 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: Who will? Who? 90 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 4: I keep going, dear friend, dear friends, Never take revenge, 91 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 4: Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the 92 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 4: scripture says I will take revenge. I will pay them back, 93 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 4: said the Lord. Instead, if your enemies are hungry, watch it. 94 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: Feed them. 95 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 4: If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In 96 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 4: doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on 97 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 4: their head. Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil 98 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 4: by doing good made. 99 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 2: The Lord had a blessing for the readers, hears and 100 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 2: doers of the word. All right, now, let's go to Rome. 101 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: Let's use our holy imagination. Let's get on the plane 102 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 2: fourteen hour flights. Let's go to Rome back in the day, right, 103 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: and Rome at the time was the center, of course, 104 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 2: of the Roman Empire. Rome had a population of over 105 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 2: one million people. It was one of the largest cities 106 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 2: in the culture of that time. It was the center 107 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: of culture, politics, and religion because Rome's tentacles reached throughout 108 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: the Middle world of that time. Here it is, if 109 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: you could influence Rome, you could influence the world. Okay. 110 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 2: Many people went to Rome to prosper and build, and 111 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 2: this included the Jewish populace. The Jewish population during that 112 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 2: time of Paul in Rome, just pay attention was over 113 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 2: fifty thousand people. The Church in Rome was established around 114 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 2: forty AD, and therefore, because the populace was over fifty 115 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 2: thousands with Jews that came from Jerusalem, and the Christian 116 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 2: movement began in Jerusalem, then the church in Rome would 117 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 2: have started predominantly with Jews. Y'all got it, because they 118 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: would have received the message preached by Peter on the 119 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 2: day of Pentecost. They would have came back to Rome, 120 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 2: and they would have returned with this brand new message 121 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:46,119 Speaker 2: of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They were the original Church. However, 122 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 2: because the message of the Gospel and the practices of 123 00:09:52,800 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 2: Judaism promotes monotheism, which is the belief in one God God, 124 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 2: Rome was a culture that was polytheists, which means that 125 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 2: they believed in many gods. Their message of believing in 126 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 2: one God began to conflict with a culture that believed 127 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 2: in many gods. As a result, the Roman culture not 128 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 2: only believed in Greek gods, but they believed in what 129 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 2: they call demi gods, smaller gods, gods that were half 130 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: God and human, and they believed that their emperors were 131 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 2: demi gods. So when this message comes up that you 132 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 2: must believe in the one and true God. Then that 133 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 2: also meant that the Christians were spreading a message that 134 00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 2: was against believing that the Emperor was a God. So 135 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: the moment that the Emperor felt that their influence was threatened, 136 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 2: they came up with a law in forty nine AD 137 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: from the emperor at the time, Emperor Claudius, that banned 138 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 2: all the Jews from Rome. Everyone say, banned all the Jews. 139 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: Banned all the Jews from Rome because he wanted to 140 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: kill the message of the Gospel. But the problem is, yeah, 141 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 2: is that the Gospel never belongs to one demographic of people. 142 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 2: And so by the time from forty a d To 143 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 2: forty nine AD, they had begun to infiltrate the Roman 144 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: culture just a little bit, so that when the Jews 145 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 2: were banished. I love how God does this for his church. 146 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 2: When the Jews were banished, the church did not die 147 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: because now there were some gentile believers that are y'all 148 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 2: with me? That was that was left behind. Okay. Emperor 149 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 2: Claudius lived for another five years after banning the Jews, 150 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 2: and he dies in fifty four AD. Upon his death, 151 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 2: all of the things that he put in motion was 152 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 2: canceled out, and therefore the Jewish Christians and the Jewish 153 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 2: people could return back to Rome. But when the Jews 154 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 2: came back to Rome to come back to the seat 155 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 2: that they had left, they found that the church had evolved, 156 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 2: and it was now it was no longer ran by 157 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 2: the Jewish traditions. It was now strictly a church that 158 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 2: was ran by the liberal and free Gospel of Jesus Christ. 159 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 2: So here they come back, and they come back and 160 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 2: then looking at what they feel to be undeserving believers 161 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 2: and saying to them, basically, the ogs are back, and 162 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 2: you knew, folks need to get out of our way 163 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 2: and let us go back to how we were doing it. 164 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: But the problem was, the Gentiles said, since y'all been gone, 165 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 2: we tried God for ourselves, and we found out that 166 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 2: some of those laws you were telling us to keep 167 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 2: had no power in them, and we decided during your 168 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 2: absence to remove all traditions that no longer served a 169 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: gospel purpose. Immediately, contention breaks out in the church because 170 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 2: now the Jewish Christians are now arguing with the Gentile 171 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 2: Christians over small, any bitty little traditions that really meant 172 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 2: nothing to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So Paul writes, 173 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 2: Everyone say, Paul writes. Paul writes to the church in 174 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: Rome because he heard about the unnecessary tension between the 175 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 2: two groups that were in the Body of Christ, and 176 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 2: he understood that they were perfectly positioned to change the world. 177 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: Because they were so busy looking in a vacuum that 178 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 2: they could not pan out and realize that this church 179 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 2: was primed and positioned in a city that if they 180 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 2: could change this city, they could change the culture. And 181 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 2: Paul comes to elevate their tastes. Paul comes to say, 182 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 2: you guy's got to pan out and realize the time 183 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 2: that God has saved you and the place that God 184 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: has put you in, and that while you are arguing 185 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 2: with one another, what you need to realize is that 186 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 2: if y'all could just come together, there is something that 187 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 2: God wants to do in this church that can change 188 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: this city and ultimately change the culture and ultimately change 189 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 2: the world. That's the reason why I opened up telling 190 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 2: you how large Rome was, because you would understand that 191 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 2: it had so much influence. And can I prophesy to 192 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 2: about fifteen of y'all in here and tell you that 193 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 2: by the power of God, God, if he hasn't already. 194 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 2: He is going to place you in positions and seats 195 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 2: that can affect influential people. And here's what Paul says. 196 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 2: Paul says, here's what I need y'all to do. Church. 197 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 2: I need y'all to master how you treat each other. 198 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 2: And then I need you to master how you treat others. 199 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 2: Look at your neighbor, saying, now, welcome to the sermon. 200 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 2: Paul needs them in Romans to do two things. They 201 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 2: get better as I go. Number One, he says, y'all 202 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 2: being knowing God for a minute, he says, but here's 203 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 2: what I need from you, more now than ever. I 204 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 2: need you. First of all, I need you to be 205 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 2: the church. I don't need you to just go to it. 206 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 2: I don't need you to just gather in the houses 207 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 2: and read from the Bible and read from this down 208 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 2: and the other and lift your heels and then when 209 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 2: you go home you completely forget the things that God 210 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 2: told you why you were coming together. I need you 211 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 2: to be the church. Number two, Paul says in the 212 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 2: Epistle to the Romans, is I need you to no 213 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 2: longer carry yourself in a way that makes the Gospel ineffective. 214 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 2: Two things. I need you to be the church. Number two, 215 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 2: I need you to make sure you're not doing stuff 216 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 2: that makes the Gospel ineffective. Twenty twenty three, Greater Resionist. 217 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 2: God dealt with me all last night. I couldn't sleep. 218 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 2: I come with a word today. My word is that 219 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 2: we are alive as Christians, as the Ecclesia, as the 220 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 2: called out ones. We are alive, and we are called 221 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 2: to regions and cities and metropoliss and political positions and 222 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 2: platforms and power that, if influenced by Christianity, will properly 223 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 2: and can change the world and the culture that we 224 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 2: are attached to. I know we're living in the last days. 225 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: I know we're living in the anti christ culture. I 226 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 2: know we're living in amongst the people that are polytheists 227 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 2: and that they are serving multiple gods. But ladies and gentlemen, 228 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 2: I stand flat footed and declare that I still believe 229 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 2: that the preaching, the proclaiming of the Gospel, the good 230 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 2: News of Jesus Christ, still has the power to change 231 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 2: this world. That's a week clap. That's a week clap. 232 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 2: It's the best story we got, It's the best story 233 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 2: we have. It is the only thing that gives encouragement 234 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 2: to a world that feels as if God has forgotten 235 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 2: about fail to just proclaim and remind everybody that God's 236 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 2: soul loved the world, that he gave his only be 237 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 2: God and Son, that whosoever shall believe it on him, Oh, God, 238 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 2: shall not paris, but have ever lasting life.

Because you told it. 296 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 2: God wants to use you, oh to properly change this world. 297 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 2: But the church has to has to work on two things. 298 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 2: The church got to work on Number one, how we 299 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 2: treat each other Jews gentiles. There's no longer Jews and 300 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 2: gentiles clashing in the church. It's the I think I'm 301 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 2: better than you, and I don't know why God got 302 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 2: me here crowd. You got those that were raised in 303 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 2: the church and those that are just coming to church, 304 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 2: those who know the traditions versus those who know not 305 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 2: of the church traditions. And we find ourselves instead of 306 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 2: celebrating conversion, we find ourselves sitting in the seats of judgment, 307 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 2: looking at people who have not yet become what you 308 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 2: think that they should become, judging their prayers, judging how 309 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 2: they preach, judging how they use their gifts, criticizing every 310 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 2: move that they make. Because some in your little mind 311 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 2: you think that because you would raise the church, that 312 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 2: that makes you holier than somebody else, makes you better 313 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 2: than somebody else, makes you more wise than somebody else. 314 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 2: But ladies and gentlemen, if you know the God that 315 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 2: I know, he don't need your degrees nor your experience 316 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 2: to use you. Somebody in here I to testify now 317 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 2: you struggling big time to live this word out. But 318 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 2: the grace and the mercy of God keeps using you 319 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 2: over and over again. It ain't in my notes, But 320 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 2: I'm so glad that none of y'all that got judgmental 321 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 2: eyes have a heaven or a hell to put nobody in. 322 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 2: Somebody in here needs a hearing. Some of y'all need 323 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 2: to come off of your high horse and all because 324 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 2: we can't see your sin. Don't think God don't know it. 325 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 2: You may not be gay, but you evil as hell. 326 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 2: You may not be a hole, but you're unforgiven. Ain't 327 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 2: nobody saying under the me you may not use drugs. Man, 328 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 2: you're violent when you're at home and your whole other 329 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 2: person after the benediction. All sin is sin, and nobody's 330 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 2: saying nothing to me. There's no grad level in sin. 331 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 2: I'm trying to help somebody. There is no big sin 332 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 2: and little sin, and at your best you are still 333 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 2: nothing but filthy rags. Don't forget that if God didn't 334 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 2: look past your mess, you would have died in your 335 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 2: sleep last night. You sitting up in here because His 336 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 2: grace is better than your sin. Yeah, yes, clap your 337 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 2: hands because you got stuff that God could bring out 338 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 2: right now that to tell your whole life up, wreck 339 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 2: your reputation. If you got the nurban have to look 340 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 2: down your role and criticize somebody because they dressed is 341 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 2: too short. Now your dress is long, but you lifted 342 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 2: every Friday. You know better. There's somebody else. It ain't 343 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 2: jew and gentown no more. It's titles versus the untitled. 344 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 2: It's I'm an elder now, so I get to critique 345 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: the new preacher forgetting that you, yourself are still practicing 346 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 2: every week. It's the It's those that don't have prophecy 347 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 2: criticizing those who can prophesy, jealous because God didn't give 348 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 2: you the gift. I wish I had somebody up in here, 349 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 2: and I come to tell somebody up in here that 350 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 2: God is over all of it. God says, we got 351 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 2: a master how we treat each other, and we gotta 352 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 2: master how we treat others outside of us. It's interesting, 353 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 2: y'all if you go to the top of chapter twelve 354 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 2: that Paul opens chapter twelve saying this thing. He says, 355 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 2: I beseech you, therefore, by the mercies of God, watch 356 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 2: the text that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, 357 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 2: living sacrifice, living sacrifice. He's painting a picture that being 358 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 2: a Christian is more about what I do rather than 359 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 2: what I say. As a matter of fact, ladies and gentlemen, 360 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: what I say should support what I do, and what 361 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 2: I do should be the proof that I too believe 362 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 2: what I say. Paul wanted the church to quickly dead 363 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 2: the unnecessary internal strife amongst them. And here's why, because 364 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 2: they had bigger fish to fry, and they would need 365 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 2: both parties, Jews and Gentiles to pull it off. Now 366 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 2: Here where it is, I'm in the meat of the message. 367 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 2: I want to propose some things to you all, Greater Zion. 368 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 2: Number one, and you all may disagree, but I need 369 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 2: your spirit to talk over your flesh. May you find 370 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 2: a way to quickly dead any internal strife amongst you, 371 00:29:54,680 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 2: and dead any internal strife that's on your team. Number two. 372 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 2: May you realize that, quite possibly the strife that's allowed 373 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 2: to take place is to keep you in conflict with 374 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 2: who you will need to accomplish the bigger assignment that's coming. 375 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 2: I've said it before, I'm gonna say this thing again. 376 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 2: And many of you, all your ego will not allow 377 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 2: you to say, Man, God sent people are not replaceable. 378 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 2: The people you easily replaced are the people you brought. 379 00:30:54,920 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 2: God sent people are not replaced, which is why the 380 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 2: text says, what God has joined together, let ah, that's 381 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 2: the word. Let no man put asunder put on opposite 382 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 2: sides of I hear a lot of shouting from y'all 383 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 2: this year, But right here I want y'all to live with. 384 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 2: When I'm about to tell you you are better very 385 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 2: quickly sit down somewhere and analyze and ask God to 386 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 2: give you discerning if you cannot analyze the people that 387 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 2: are brought to you because God brought them there and 388 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 2: the folks you just running with, for those are two 389 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 2: sets of people. Y'all ain't gotta like me this morning, 390 00:31:55,040 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 2: And if you're not careful, you would jeopardize a relation ship, 391 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 2: a connection with somebody or with some people that y'all 392 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 2: aint gonna say a man here, either that you need 393 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 2: to accomplish the next assignment something else. Y'all ain't gonna 394 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 2: say a man to Lonnie. They're not hearing me on 395 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 2: this one. Is the next assignment is too big for 396 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 2: you to handle by yourself. All that y'all was clapping about, 397 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 2: all that y'all believe in God is gonna do for 398 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 2: you hear me very clearly. If it's of God, you 399 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 2: cannot manage it alone. God never gives you something you 400 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 2: can manage because it will cause you to take credit. 401 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 2: He gives you something that's too big for you and 402 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 2: makes you lean on others for support to be able 403 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 2: to get it done. You know why you're not clapping 404 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,959 Speaker 2: because this is the most egotistical, narcissistic generation that has 405 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 2: ever walked the face of this earth. Thinking that you 406 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 2: can do it by yourself is a lie from the 407 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 2: pit of hell. And there's so much hatred and bitterness 408 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 2: in our hearts that we don't want to admit that 409 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 2: we need other people to help us to do what 410 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 2: God is calling us to do. Ladies and gentlemen, I 411 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 2: need twinter y'all to help me. I'm tired of trying 412 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 2: to do it by myself. I ask God send me help. 413 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:46,479 Speaker 2: I can't do it alone. How much time I got 414 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 2: to really just slow walk this? Are we good? And 415 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 2: God responded to me and saying, why are you asking 416 00:33:53,720 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 2: me to send something that's already there? But conflict strife, 417 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 2: things that you haven't even said to one another can 418 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 2: cause great dissension between groups that are supposed to be 419 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 2: working together. And so Paul realizes two things. Number one, 420 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 2: how the church treats each other is our greatest strength. 421 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say that as a matter of fact. Everybody 422 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 2: repeat out to me. How the church treats each other 423 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 2: is our greatest strength. You hear me, how we as 424 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,399 Speaker 2: a church as have we as great as. I can't 425 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,280 Speaker 2: preach about the church across street and down the street, 426 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 2: I don't pastor there. I pass to here, and if 427 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 2: you're a visitor, I pass to you for the next 428 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 2: thirty minutes. How we treat each other is our greatest strength. 429 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 2: Watch this, and how the church treats others outside of 430 00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 2: it itself is its greatest power. He said. This is 431 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,800 Speaker 2: how they will know that you are my disciples. I 432 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 2: appreciate this already. And is that how you love one another? 433 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 2: Let's go further. How we treat each other makes it 434 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 2: easier to treat outsiders the same way, ladies and gentlemen. 435 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 2: It's a proven fact. Love at home produces loving children 436 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 2: at school. Love in the marriage produces a loving coworker. 437 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 2: Hatred at home produces a bully on the playground. Hatred 438 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 2: from your partner produces a cheater. In the culture. Ain't 439 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 2: nobody saying, oh, y'all not talking to me. I think 440 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,360 Speaker 2: I'm preaching better than y'all giving amen. But here's what 441 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 2: God told me to tell this house. If home base 442 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 2: is solid, it's hard for the culture to shake you. 443 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 2: And here's the prophetic word. So dead the internal conflicts, 444 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:23,280 Speaker 2: because a greater assignment is coming to this house. Dead 445 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 2: the internal conflicts amongst you and your household, and your 446 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 2: children and your friendship, because there's a greater assignment coming 447 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 2: to all of your lives. Nobody's saying other to me, 448 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 2: you are going to have to find a way to 449 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 2: get the devil out of the middle of what God 450 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 2: has put together. Y'all's saying, O it to me. That's 451 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,839 Speaker 2: why we're fasting. And y'all ain't clapping because you love 452 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,839 Speaker 2: baking more than you love wholeness, you love steak more 453 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 2: than you love God taking you to the next level. 454 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 2: Ain't nobody trying to control you. We're trying to get 455 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 2: you so God can't control you. And that means you 456 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,320 Speaker 2: gotta lay down that plate so that God can fix 457 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 2: your spirit, so he can open up your eyes and 458 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 2: you can see where the devil is lurking, and he 459 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 2: can give you power to get the devil out of 460 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 2: your house. Y'all gotta help me preach. Y'all, touch your 461 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 2: neighbor like his Instagram, and say, get the devil out 462 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,880 Speaker 2: of the middle of it. Right now. Come on, y'all, 463 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 2: say it again, Say it again, Say it again, Say 464 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 2: get the devil out of the middle of it. So 465 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it one more time. Don't hit the organ. 466 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 2: This word is for everybody that's looking at me. None 467 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,720 Speaker 2: of y'all protected by your little funky titles this morning. 468 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 2: This is a word from God, and he told me 469 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 2: to tell this house get the devil out of the 470 00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 2: middle of it. 471 00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 6: Now. 472 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 2: Let me tell you why you don't want to say man, 473 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 2: because some of y'all the devil. Ain't nobody saying nothing. 474 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 2: Some of y'all have allowed the devil to use you 475 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 2: to infiltrate with God never wanted him in the middle 476 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 2: of it. And you're too prideful to ask God how 477 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 2: to fix it. And you won't Time to heal all wounds. 478 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 2: But time never said it heals anything.

Younger people, you 563 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,360 Speaker 2: ain't doing it no better than the older folks did it. 564 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,919 Speaker 2: We all just vessels trying to be used by God. 565 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,280 Speaker 2: Someone look at three people saying, so kill the conflict. 566 00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,080 Speaker 2: Can I put something else there? Can I say this 567 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 2: is not in my notes? Can I say this? And 568 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,399 Speaker 2: nobody has to explain to you how God's using them, 569 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 2: especially here's the shell when you haven't figured out how 570 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:28,400 Speaker 2: God's using you. But there's a lot of that happening internally, right, 571 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 2: I'm not using a poor bit of beat Nobody up 572 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 2: the scriptures giving me liberty to address it. Because when 573 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,600 Speaker 2: people leave the church and out of the sight of 574 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:41,400 Speaker 2: the pastor, they become people that drive good people away. 575 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,240 Speaker 2: God said, we gotta dare the internal conflict. You gotta 576 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,120 Speaker 2: dad those conflicts. And Paul hearing about the new emperor 577 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,840 Speaker 2: that was coming because Claudius is dead. The new emperor 578 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 2: that was coming his name was Nero, and Nero hated Christians. 579 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,600 Speaker 2: But here's the thing, y'all, that is why they needed 580 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 2: to dead the conflict. Claudius hated the Jews that were Christians. 581 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:13,839 Speaker 2: Nero hated Christians. Y'all ain't got there the last time. 582 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,560 Speaker 2: The only ones that were affected by the hatred was 583 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 2: one group. What Paul knew was coming was that Nero 584 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,800 Speaker 2: hated all Christians, which meant that when he started tripping, 585 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,799 Speaker 2: he wasn't just coming for the Jews. He was coming 586 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 2: for Jews. And okay, so let me say what I'm 587 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 2: saying here, Hello, ladies and gentlemen.

But what God is telling 681 00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:50,560 Speaker 2: me is I want this church to be real. What 682 00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,280 Speaker 2: is say in verse nine, Vanessa, can y'all put it 683 00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,880 Speaker 2: back up there? In verse nine it opens up saying 684 00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:07,320 Speaker 2: love them for real, don't shout with me, then talk 685 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:19,840 Speaker 2: about me So these are the These are the two 686 00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,640 Speaker 2: things God wants you to get together, he says. He says, 687 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,600 Speaker 2: I want you all to master your reaction to things, 688 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,400 Speaker 2: because that's what's killing you. And I want y'all to 689 00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:34,000 Speaker 2: get together your ability to control yourselves when you are 690 00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:38,720 Speaker 2: in conflict and chaos. It's eleven twenty eight. Can I 691 00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:45,720 Speaker 2: get ten more minutes? And here's why God says we 692 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,880 Speaker 2: got to master it in here, Coop, is because what 693 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:53,440 Speaker 2: we do in here is practice for out there. If 694 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,920 Speaker 2: you that up in arms about someone who's on the 695 00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:02,400 Speaker 2: same team, imagine what conflict from the other team will 696 00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 2: do to you. If conflict from the same team can 697 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:19,960 Speaker 2: make you leave church, imagine what conflict from the world 698 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:26,000 Speaker 2: would do to your faith. And here, yeah, who said that? 699 00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,600 Speaker 2: Who said that? You said it? There is a big Listen. 700 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:30,920 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say something to y'all. Those that know the 701 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:32,760 Speaker 2: Bible ought to be talking loud to me to make 702 00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,640 Speaker 2: the people that don't know it a little jealous. We 703 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:43,600 Speaker 2: wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against powers and 704 00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:49,840 Speaker 2: principality and wickedness and high play ladies and gentlemen. I'm 705 00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:54,920 Speaker 2: not fighting people on this level. This is people are used, 706 00:59:55,880 --> 01:00:01,240 Speaker 2: but they're not the problem God on this leg, it's 707 01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:06,720 Speaker 2: the enemy and he will use any person that will 708 01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:11,480 Speaker 2: allow him to use them. God help me in here, 709 01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:13,360 Speaker 2: and I need trying to look at your name and 710 01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:18,240 Speaker 2: say take all that shout that you just game and 711 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:26,840 Speaker 2: grow up. We got to work on being mean. God 712 01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:33,480 Speaker 2: help me to unforgiving, rude, messy, treacherous and deceitful. And 713 01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:37,320 Speaker 2: Paul says, there's an Emperor Nero coming, and the Emperor 714 01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 2: Nero that's coming, here's where I'm gonna go prophetically, and 715 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:41,600 Speaker 2: I'm trying to cut across across this field. 716 01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:41,880 Speaker 3: Uh. 717 01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,880 Speaker 2: And and here's why I go prophetically. Imperor Nero came 718 01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:49,960 Speaker 2: and he was all about publicly embarrassing the Christians. And 719 01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,600 Speaker 2: here's what God told me. Great as I am, and 720 01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:54,240 Speaker 2: I may. I don't know where I be when this 721 01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:59,439 Speaker 2: comes to pass, but this is being recorded. I saw, 722 01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:06,440 Speaker 2: I saw, I saw the future, and I saw a 723 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:14,240 Speaker 2: spirit of Emperor Nero coming. There is a hatred for 724 01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:19,080 Speaker 2: Christianity getting ready to rise up. And it's all about 725 01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:25,760 Speaker 2: public humiliation. It's about open persecution, and it's gonna be 726 01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:32,160 Speaker 2: resistant to you changing for the good. It's filled with portrayal. 727 01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:32,560 Speaker 3: Y'all. 728 01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:37,720 Speaker 2: People you ran with forever when you were doing worldly 729 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:42,919 Speaker 2: things are gonna become your enemies when you start here's 730 01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,200 Speaker 2: the key word, when you start living this thing for real, 731 01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,040 Speaker 2: and you're gonna have to master Here's why I'm about 732 01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:51,400 Speaker 2: to close. I don't want to keep y'all all day. 733 01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:56,200 Speaker 2: Here's what you're gonna have to master your reactions to it. 734 01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:04,280 Speaker 2: God help me. Cousins are gonna turn against you. Mothers 735 01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:08,240 Speaker 2: are gonna turn against daughters, daughters against mothers. Y'all, don't 736 01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:14,400 Speaker 2: read your Bible fathers against sons, sons against fathers, best 737 01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:21,600 Speaker 2: friends against best friends, simply because you chose God over them. 738 01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:26,400 Speaker 2: Are y'all hearing what I'm telling y'all? And you are 739 01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:31,600 Speaker 2: too emotional to be released? God told me to tell 740 01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:35,800 Speaker 2: y'all you're too emotional for him to release you to 741 01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:40,480 Speaker 2: more So, what you gotta master is how you react 742 01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:46,000 Speaker 2: to stuff, how you react, how we react to people 743 01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:50,480 Speaker 2: that set out to sabotage you. And you're gonna have 744 01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:54,040 Speaker 2: to watch how you live out the Gospel in the 745 01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:57,400 Speaker 2: presence of chaos. So here's three things I give you. 746 01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:00,360 Speaker 2: On I'm done, and Judah come up and saying, we shouted, 747 01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:02,439 Speaker 2: so there's no need for me to hoop number one. 748 01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:07,520 Speaker 2: Y'all ready for this. Kill the pretentiousness. And when everybody 749 01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 2: say this with me, I gotta love them for real. Now, 750 01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:15,240 Speaker 2: y'all gonna get quiet when I say this and repeat 751 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:18,480 Speaker 2: that to me, and I have to love them for real. 752 01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:27,560 Speaker 2: Who don't love me? I'm not here for your amens. 753 01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:32,000 Speaker 2: I know you're wrestling with that. But you say, Lord, 754 01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:36,360 Speaker 2: that's hard, right, that's what you say, right, But the 755 01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,880 Speaker 2: scripture put the scripture up there. The scripture says, don't 756 01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,800 Speaker 2: just pretend to love others, really love them. Then the 757 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:46,040 Speaker 2: text says, hate what is wrong? Verse nine to ten. Right, 758 01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:47,800 Speaker 2: hate what is wrong? Go to verse ten. Go to 759 01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:51,560 Speaker 2: verse ten. Hate what is wrong? Hold tightly to what 760 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:56,640 Speaker 2: is good. Love each other with genuine affection. Here's how 761 01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:00,600 Speaker 2: you love people that you feel don't deserve to be loved. 762 01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:06,120 Speaker 2: You have to hate the wrong they did, and you 763 01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:12,480 Speaker 2: gotta find the good that they do and choose. This 764 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:17,480 Speaker 2: is a good sermon, to hold tightly to the good 765 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:24,400 Speaker 2: while hating the wrong. Now, before you say you can't 766 01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:29,920 Speaker 2: do that, it's exactly what Jesus did to you. He 767 01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:36,000 Speaker 2: chooses every day to overlook the wrong you do and 768 01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:42,560 Speaker 2: see the good in you. And he chooses, so hold 769 01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:46,880 Speaker 2: tight hey to the good in you over the wrong 770 01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,120 Speaker 2: you do. Now why you should be flipping but you not, 771 01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:52,000 Speaker 2: it's because you think there's more good in you than wrong. 772 01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:55,280 Speaker 2: But the truth is there's more wrong that you do 773 01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,880 Speaker 2: than the good that's in you. So God is literally 774 01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,160 Speaker 2: holding on to you by the hair of your chin, 775 01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:08,040 Speaker 2: ey chin, chin, when you when someone wrongs you. I'm 776 01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:11,680 Speaker 2: learning this in this season, when someone wrongs you, I'm 777 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,080 Speaker 2: learning that. The only reason why I'm still talking to them, 778 01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:18,040 Speaker 2: dealing with them, being kind to them is because as 779 01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,040 Speaker 2: I was studying for this sermon, I'm not telling y'all 780 01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,320 Speaker 2: something that I've mastered. I'm being tested on it right now. 781 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,120 Speaker 2: I'm maybe getting to see minus right through here. I 782 01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:29,920 Speaker 2: don't know. Pray for me. But when I found this scripture, 783 01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:31,640 Speaker 2: I said, oh my God, I get it. Now I 784 01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:35,600 Speaker 2: have to do better. God said, yes, you have the 785 01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,120 Speaker 2: right to fully judge them and dismiss them for the 786 01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:41,840 Speaker 2: wrong they did. He said, Or you can choose to 787 01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:46,600 Speaker 2: see the good and the good in the connection and 788 01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:50,760 Speaker 2: choose the hole tightly in that so you won't treat 789 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:59,520 Speaker 2: them with hatred. You ain't speaking to somebody right now 790 01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:07,040 Speaker 2: because you concentrating on the wrong they did. You ain't 791 01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:11,720 Speaker 2: saying nothing about the times they did show up. The 792 01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:16,760 Speaker 2: voice happens because couples choose to concentrate on the wrong 793 01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:23,600 Speaker 2: they do. It's quiet now, huh. Somebody in that situation 794 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:29,400 Speaker 2: can't let go of the wrong that was done instead 795 01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:33,520 Speaker 2: of focusing on the good in them that made you 796 01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,800 Speaker 2: want to be with them from the get go. I 797 01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:40,640 Speaker 2: know that the shout is the shout is gone now, 798 01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:46,600 Speaker 2: so monic suicide. Every relationship you have with a human 799 01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:53,880 Speaker 2: being will have some wrong in it. Don't tell nobody 800 01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,280 Speaker 2: what you can't what you won't do. You don't know 801 01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,880 Speaker 2: what you will or won't do until you get tempted 802 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:05,919 Speaker 2: and you don't or you do. I'm dealing with people 803 01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:08,160 Speaker 2: right now because I'm choosing to hold to the good. 804 01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:11,479 Speaker 2: I'm making a choice to say, but it was good, 805 01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:16,440 Speaker 2: you wrong, but it's still good in you. I used 806 01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:18,040 Speaker 2: to think that that was letting them off the hook, 807 01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,120 Speaker 2: until the Lord turned to me and said, that same 808 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:23,400 Speaker 2: hook you accusing them of getting off of you got 809 01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:29,200 Speaker 2: off of it too, So you gotta watch it. You 810 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,760 Speaker 2: gotta watch it. You gotta focus on the good. Number two. Oh, 811 01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:35,440 Speaker 2: here's why. Let me say this, here's why. When you 812 01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,920 Speaker 2: treat people better than what they deserve, it shows transformation 813 01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:44,240 Speaker 2: in you, and it shows that you believe in grace. 814 01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:48,200 Speaker 2: And when you treat people better than they deserve, it 815 01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:57,080 Speaker 2: convicts them. Number two, you're gonna have to react opposite 816 01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:03,200 Speaker 2: of what people deserve. The text says, do what bless 817 01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:07,600 Speaker 2: them that curse you. It goes on to say, ladies 818 01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:12,600 Speaker 2: and gentlemen, if they hungry, God, this is deep. Feed them. 819 01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:18,000 Speaker 2: If they thirsty, I'm closing, give them something to drink. 820 01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:19,800 Speaker 2: If y'all wait on me to tune back up, that's it. 821 01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:25,880 Speaker 2: I'm I'm on my descent now. If they're sick, still 822 01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:31,439 Speaker 2: look out for them. God, this is deep a the 823 01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:35,760 Speaker 2: this is I'm closing. I'm closing.

But I need y'all 847 01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,200 Speaker 2: to see this. This is not just about marriage. It's 848 01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:24,920 Speaker 2: about friendships as well. Right, okay, come here, cheating right? 849 01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:28,479 Speaker 2: So what happens is here? Give me this microphone. Praise Lord. 850 01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:30,479 Speaker 2: You hold that all right, don't get it confused. That's 851 01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,320 Speaker 2: her microphone.

Yes, 853 01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:49,000 Speaker 2: that that's that's self love. But then things happen, right 854 01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:53,960 Speaker 2: that get in between this and when even though you're 855 01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:58,000 Speaker 2: reaching to her because you hurt her, she ain't reaching back. 856 01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:13,200 Speaker 2: But when you let God take over, get back on organ. 857 01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:27,400 Speaker 2: Take care of that later tonight. There are times when 858 01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:33,160 Speaker 2: every connection, relationship, and everything is tested to see how 859 01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:36,360 Speaker 2: much of it is empowered by self love or empowered 860 01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:40,600 Speaker 2: by God love. You're gonna allow God to force you 861 01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:43,760 Speaker 2: sometimes he has to, So don't don't don't lie in here. 862 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:46,280 Speaker 2: I'm not telling you this is easy. I'm telling you 863 01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:48,760 Speaker 2: got to let God do it. I'm telling you that 864 01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:51,360 Speaker 2: on the inside, you're gonna want to curse them, and 865 01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:56,360 Speaker 2: God's gonna say bless them. Let them do it, because 866 01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:59,880 Speaker 2: that's the greatest power we have. That coworker you're working, 867 01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:04,519 Speaker 2: that boss you're working with right now. Everybody got somebody 868 01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:06,759 Speaker 2: in your head right now, don't you. Everybody got somebody 869 01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:10,280 Speaker 2: that's getting on your last that neighbor in the apartment complex, 870 01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:12,360 Speaker 2: that cousin that are, don't make me go down the list. 871 01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:20,519 Speaker 2: You've got somebody in. Bless them, don't curse them. They hungry, 872 01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:27,120 Speaker 2: Go get them something to eat, bring it to them. 873 01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:35,280 Speaker 2: Feed them. They sick, go to instacart or to medicine, 874 01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:42,800 Speaker 2: deliver it. It's quiet now. And here's my last point, 875 01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:55,639 Speaker 2: because he says, don't let evil overcome your good. How 876 01:12:55,880 --> 01:13:00,360 Speaker 2: you treat each other shows me how much e voe 877 01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:07,920 Speaker 2: you let sit in your heart. Bitter people are vengeful people, 878 01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:12,880 Speaker 2: people who carry that they did this to me, They 879 01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,639 Speaker 2: did that to me. My mama did this, my daddy 880 01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:18,200 Speaker 2: did this, my cousin did this, and these people did 881 01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:19,800 Speaker 2: this and this, that and the other. So now I'm 882 01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:24,320 Speaker 2: gonna make every single person pay moving forward. That reminds 883 01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:26,400 Speaker 2: me of what I allowed them to do to me. 884 01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:30,120 Speaker 2: Are people who have allowed what happened to them to 885 01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:43,120 Speaker 2: infiltrate their heart. And the last point is guard your heart. God, 886 01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:49,120 Speaker 2: and look at three people and say guard your heart. Everybody, 887 01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:55,880 Speaker 2: stand to your feet. Were and we're ending early, and 888 01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:58,880 Speaker 2: there was no smooth way to land the plane.

Then we come back tonight at 1041 01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:58,000 Speaker 2: five o'clock. The spear of God has been dealing with me, 1042 01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:10,000 Speaker 2: and the Lord spoke to me. I've been writing down 1043 01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:16,040 Speaker 2: every word he gave me since twenty twenty one. God 1044 01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:22,679 Speaker 2: spoke to me last night Saturday, January fourteenth at eleven 1045 01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:29,400 Speaker 2: twenty seven pm. If you can stand stand up, it 1046 01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:34,120 Speaker 2: says this, He told me to preach the sermon. When 1047 01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:37,320 Speaker 2: I finished preaching the sermon, big, the Lord told me 1048 01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:42,040 Speaker 2: to release this word on this house because after today 1049 01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:47,880 Speaker 2: it's like two by two He's gonna release us into 1050 01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:54,160 Speaker 2: the culture to light the world on fire. Greta Zion, 1051 01:27:56,240 --> 01:28:02,439 Speaker 2: our calm period is over, the Lord said, it's time 1052 01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:06,919 Speaker 2: for us to go forth in the highways and byways. 1053 01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:12,479 Speaker 2: Every single one of you, starting today, find every person 1054 01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:15,200 Speaker 2: you can tell them about the message of Jesus Christ. 1055 01:28:15,400 --> 01:28:20,080 Speaker 2: To the best of your ability. Invite them the church. 1056 01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:24,920 Speaker 2: Keep inviting them the church. Bring them be. Just go Ham. 1057 01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:27,519 Speaker 2: We have a window that God is going to give 1058 01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:35,639 Speaker 2: us influence. Okay. When I said that, God said, seventy 1059 01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:40,479 Speaker 2: five percent of that church will disqualify itself because they 1060 01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:43,840 Speaker 2: feel as if they are not worthy to do what 1061 01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:48,560 Speaker 2: they have seen you do. So God said to me, 1062 01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:55,280 Speaker 2: write this down and give this to them. I do 1063 01:28:55,600 --> 01:29:06,000 Speaker 2: not need perfection. I only require your permission. I need 1064 01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:12,920 Speaker 2: your permission to use you for my will as you are. 1065 01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:20,760 Speaker 2: Every one of my disciples were called with shortcomings, and 1066 01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:27,880 Speaker 2: none of them were recorded completely delivered from those shortcomings 1067 01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:36,360 Speaker 2: because the Cross did the work that none of them 1068 01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:40,880 Speaker 2: could do. I only called them to do the work 1069 01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:48,720 Speaker 2: I knew they could do. I did not ask them 1070 01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:57,000 Speaker 2: to be perfect. Great Desion, don't lie, I'm reading it. Yes, 1071 01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:04,200 Speaker 2: great a zion. I am also more patient with you 1072 01:30:04,360 --> 01:30:09,240 Speaker 2: than you give credit. And I did not call you 1073 01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:16,560 Speaker 2: to destroy you in the middle of our relationship. I 1074 01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:22,600 Speaker 2: know that you are not perfect, but that is the 1075 01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:28,679 Speaker 2: reason why the blood still works. I simply ask them, 1076 01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:35,360 Speaker 2: with all of their imperfections, two words follow me. 1077 01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:37,599 Speaker 3: There. 1078 01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:44,280 Speaker 2: Yes was all I needed. I do not need your perfection. 1079 01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:52,679 Speaker 2: I only need your permission. I the Lord will take 1080 01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:57,600 Speaker 2: care of the rest, because I the Lord, have already 1081 01:30:57,720 --> 01:31:02,800 Speaker 2: taken care of the rest. Here's the last paragraph you 1082 01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:05,920 Speaker 2: need to receive. And if this is your word, you're 1083 01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:08,160 Speaker 2: gonna dismiss and you need to come to the altar 1084 01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:10,599 Speaker 2: because this is confirmation for you. You get your stuff 1085 01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:12,240 Speaker 2: and you come to the altar. You ain't bothering us 1086 01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:16,320 Speaker 2: because this is the important part. I don't care if 1087 01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:19,000 Speaker 2: it's Judah, it doesn't matter. But this needs to set 1088 01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:22,160 Speaker 2: somebody free. I never heard God say this to me. 1089 01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:28,000 Speaker 2: The Lord said, write this down I'd rather you be 1090 01:31:28,160 --> 01:31:42,559 Speaker 2: an honest sinner than a liar. A liar cannot stand 1091 01:31:44,080 --> 01:31:50,439 Speaker 2: in the eyesight of God, but an honest sinner is 1092 01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:58,680 Speaker 2: presented fault. This that's gonna help you some more. I 1093 01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:02,479 Speaker 2: do not need you you to pretend to be whole 1094 01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:09,720 Speaker 2: if that's not my will for you. Sometimes I leave 1095 01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:16,120 Speaker 2: your broken to keep your humble. I can do more 1096 01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:22,120 Speaker 2: with your brokenness in my plan. Then you can with 1097 01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:26,920 Speaker 2: a pretentious version of yourself that is popular with man. 1098 01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:35,280 Speaker 2: Be true to yourself this year, and I God will 1099 01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:38,280 Speaker 2: take care of the rest. That is the word of 1100 01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:46,519 Speaker 2: the Lord for this house. So before you leave, some 1101 01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:48,560 Speaker 2: of y'all, before you hit that door, may need to 1102 01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:52,040 Speaker 2: come to the altar. And by a gesture of faith, 1103 01:32:52,920 --> 01:33:00,400 Speaker 2: you are giving God today your sense of inadequacy. Because 1104 01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:03,880 Speaker 2: God said I qualified you before you were even born. 1105 01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:09,479 Speaker 2: I knew what I was doing when I called you 1106 01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:15,800 Speaker 2: by name. Are we found? And yes, if you want 1107 01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:18,559 Speaker 2: to join this church you can. Afterwards. The elders will 1108 01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:21,840 Speaker 2: be around. You could come to one of us. We'll 1109 01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:24,040 Speaker 2: take you in. Now. May the Lord bless thee and 1110 01:33:24,160 --> 01:33:26,720 Speaker 2: keep thee. May make his face to shine upon thee, 1111 01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:29,720 Speaker 2: and be gracious unto thee. May the Lord livethop his 1112 01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:33,320 Speaker 2: countenance upon THEE and give THEE such peace. And so 1113 01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:36,920 Speaker 2: you shall put his name upon your children. And he 1114 01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:41,000 Speaker 2: promised that I will bless them. Look at somebody and say, 1115 01:33:41,120 --> 01:33:45,400 Speaker 2: God loves you. I love you, and there is nothing 1116 01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:49,240 Speaker 2: you can do about it.
