The Mystery Revealed - Bishop T.D. Jakes · Pst T.D Jakes -The POTTER'S HOUSE

• 0:13
  Speaker 1: God is doing some great things for his people. First
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Timothy chapter 3 verse 14 through 16. And for those
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: of you who care about subjects, I'm going to be
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: talking about the mystery revealed. The mystery revealed. We'll get
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: into it. First Timothy 3. These things write I unto thee.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Paul writing unto Timothy. Hoping to come unto thee shortly.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: But If I tarry long, that thou mayst knowest how
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Hold it right there. Paul is writing to Timothy, telling him,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I want you to know how to act in the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: house of God. You don't treat God's house like it's
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: some kind of something else. You treat, there's a certain
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: reverence you give to the house of God. If he
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: took time to write in the Bible how you ought
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to behave. thyself in the house of God which is
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the church of the living God the house of God
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: is bigger than a building it is the entire church
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: of the living God when God sees the house of
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: God he doesn't just see addresses and buildings he sees
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: his believers as lively stones that we collectively make up
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the house of God he said which is the church
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: of the living God the pillar The pillar, the foundation,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the pillar, the column, the pillar, the load-bearing wall that
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: is of the pillar and ground of the truth. See,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: if you don't have a pillar, when the storm comes,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: it'll blow you over. And a lot of us, we
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: really love the Lord, but we don't have any truth.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: We don't have any real truth, any foundation. We got feelings.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And when the feelings subside, we don't feel loved of God.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: But if you base it on the pillar and the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: foundation of truth, not feelings, not emotions, not situations, not circumstances,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: not whether you got a job or not, not whether
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you look good or not, not whether the girl likes
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you or not. You got to base this on something
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: that will not shake. And that's what we're going to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: talk about tonight. And he says, and without controversy, without arguing,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: without yelling, without fussing, without dissension, without debate, great is
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the mystery. Great is the mystery of godliness. Good God,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I love this text. Great is the mystery of godliness.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Your God is mysterious. Great is the mystery of In
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the Greek, it's mysterion. Great is the mystery of godliness.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And then he gives six points, and we're going to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: talk about them tonight, and I'm going to get out
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of your way. Number one, God was manifest in the flesh.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Number two, he was justified in the spirit. Number three,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: he was seen of angels. Number four, he was preached
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: unto the Gentiles. Number five, he was believed on in
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the world. And number six, he was received up in
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the glory. Say amen, somebody. Father, bless the word as
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it is being taught tonight. Let it seep deep down
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: into our hearts that we might get a deeper understanding
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and a revelation of you. Because the better we see you,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the clearer we see us. If we are created in
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: your image, then wipe the haze off the mirror. So
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: as we behold you, we see ourselves. Help us to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: understand ourselves in the light of your reflection. In Jesus'
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: name we pray. Somebody shout amen. You may be seated
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in the presence of God. The mystery revealed. And as
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I told you earlier, the Greek word for mystery is mysterion.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: And it literally means, all throughout the New Testament, wherever
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you see it, you will see it over and over again.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: It literally means that the things of God that were
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: once hidden are later revealed through Christ unto us. Okay,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: so when we start talking about a mystery, we're not
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: talking about something that didn't exist. We're just talking about
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: something that wasn't revealed. I have several gifts for different
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: ones of my children that they don't know anything about.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: When I decide to let them know about it, I
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: will let them know about it. When they know about it,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that I created it or I got it.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: When they know about it, it was hidden from them,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: but it was theirs. When you start talking about a
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: mystery revealed, it is amazing. There are levels to revelations.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Every preacher doesn't have the same level of revelation. Every
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: person doesn't have the same level of revelation. Every marriage
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't have the same level of revelation. Revelation grows. You
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: can know it on one level and not know it
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: on another. I was thinking about this whole notion of
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: how I would begin to talk about the mystery revealed
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and God gave me an image of a woman and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: her cycle has stopped and she's getting sick in the morning.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: She's getting sick in the morning strangely and she's not
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: normally sick and she's sick in the morning and she
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: can't figure out what's wrong. What do you think might
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: be wrong? Oh, she's pregnant, she's pregnant, she's pregnant, but
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: she doesn't know it yet. But her not knowing it
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean she's not pregnant. It hasn't been revealed to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: her yet, but that does not negate the fact that
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: some living thing is growing inside of her body. When
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: she knows about it, that doesn't mean that it started.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: It could have started before her. She knew about it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: So she goes, she gets a pregnancy test. And then
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: she finds out, indeed, she is pregnant. That's a level
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: of revelation. The moment she gets the revelation that she's pregnant,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that is a level of revelation. She doesn't know what
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: gender it is. She just knows that she's pregnant. After
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: months and months of formation, Eventually she will go and
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: they will do an ultrasound on her and reveal the gender.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: That's another revelation. Okay, and then she finds out I'm
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: pregnant and it's a girl or it's a boy, but
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: she hasn't met him yet. After the third trimester is completed,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: she goes into labor. She dilates, her water breaks. She
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: gives birth and in travail she pushes forth a baby
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and the baby is revealed. Those are three revelations before
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: she meets the baby. Are you hearing what I'm saying
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to you? Now she meets the baby when they lay
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the baby in her arms and cuts the cord. But
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: she still doesn't know the baby. She doesn't know the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: baby just because of boo-boo-boo-boo-boo. Yeah, but you don't know
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: boo-boo yet. You got to watch boo-boo a while before
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you figure out whether boo-boo is a liar or not
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: or whether boo-boo can be trusted or whether boo-boo is
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: dependable or whether boo-boo is loyal. You don't know them,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: but the baby has been revealed. And then as you
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: raise them, you get to know them. There are different
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: levels of revelation from the book of Genesis all the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: way to the book of Revelations. God is giving us
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: different levels of revelations of what was hidden from the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: foundations of the world. It's coming in stages. It's coming
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: in phases. It's coming through revelation knowledge. It's coming through teaching.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: It's coming through word. It's coming through experience until Christ
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: be formed in you. Just because you came to the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: altar and gave your life to Christ doesn't mean that
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Christ is in full formation in you. Paul said in Galatians,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: my little children in whom I travail in birth again
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: until Christ be.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Formed in you.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Christ has to be formed in you. It takes a
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: lifetime to live holy. Y'all ain't going to talk to me.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I mean to really live holy, to really get it down,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to get where holiness is more than long dresses and
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: not cutting your hair and all that kind of stuff.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Holiness is more than not fornicating and not drinking liquor
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and not smoking dope. Holiness is more than that. Holiness
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: is where you don't think evil. Oh yeah, you're going
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: to clap for us over here. The Bible says the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: very thought of foolishness is sin. It takes a long time.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I hear people say, oh, I'm holy. Yeah, but yeah, yeah,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: that's cute. That's nice. That's nice. but if everything you
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: thought was played on a loudspeaker right now you put
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: up your finger and tip out of here right now
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: because because it takes a long time for Christ to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: come into full formation in you are you hearing what
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I'm saying to you A mystery is that which can
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: only be known through the revelation of God. That means
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: that God cannot be proven. He cannot be explained. He
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: cannot be fussed about. He cannot be argued about. He
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: must be revealed. The MRI revealed this boy. I didn't
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: know it was a boy until they revealed, the ultrasound rather,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: revealed it was a boy. I didn't know I was
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: pregnant until the test revealed I was pregnant. I didn't
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: know they were going to have dimples like grandma until
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I pushed out the baby and it was revealed. If
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: you have to be revealed, how much more does God
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: have to be revealed? You are not here because somebody
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: explained him to you. You are here because he revealed
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: himself to you. He showed himself to you. He chose
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to let you see him. Some of it came through
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: preaching or some of it came through a song. Some
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: of you weren't even in church. You might have been
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: at the house. You might have been in the club.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: You might have been in the car. And he just
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: gave you a sneak peek and he revealed himself to you.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden you got convicted about things
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: you weren't convicted about before. And you decided to change
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: your life. And the more you walk with him, you're
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: taking off stuff every day. Changing habits and changing habits.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: because there are levels of revelation. Because our God is
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: a mystery. Great is the mystery of godliness. Great is
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the mystery of godliness. That's why you ought not to
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: judge one another. In a great house the Bible said
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: there are vessels of honor and dishonor. I got five
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: kids and only two of them the same age because
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: they're twins. The rest of them are all different ages
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: at different stages, at different stages of development. You don't
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: have no 12 kids and all of them seven. Yet
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: church will force you to act like you're the same
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: age as everybody else because we do not make room
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: for the development of revelation which takes time for Christ
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to be formed in you. So you're seven having to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: act like you're 27 because everybody's judging you like you're
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: 27 but you're really still on a seven level. Oh,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: y'all don't hear what I'm saying. I'm going to make
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: this thing clear. It is this God that has chosen
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: to reveal himself unto us all through the Old Testament,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: through shadows, through types. He shows up in all kinds
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: of ways. He's the fourth man in the fiery furnace.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: He's the kinsman redeemer for Ruth. He's the day star
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: of the Old Testament. He's the lover of my soul
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: in the Song of Solomon. He's the voice of the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Lord walking through the cool of the garden. All of
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: these are quick glimpses and glances of him just giving
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: us shadows of who he is. Hallelujah. He is the
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: tabernacle in the Old Testament. He is the brazen altar
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and the brazen laver. He is the mercy seat in
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the Old Testament. He is the veil in the temple.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: He is the bread on the table. He is the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: altar of incense. All of these are little glimpses where
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: he's giving you tests and you're coming through different stages
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: of the revelation. He is the animal that was slain
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: that covered Adam's nakedness. We don't know yet that it's
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: a lamb. It's just an animal. We don't find out
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: that the animal is a lamb until we get to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the book of Exodus. And in the book of Exodus,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: we find out that the animal is a lamb and
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: a firstling. We find out that it's a lamb in
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Genesis with Abel, but we don't know that it's a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: male and it's a firstling until we get to Exodus.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: And we don't know that it's slain and applied to
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the doorpost until Exodus. And it's way over in the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: book of Isaiah before we find out that the lamb
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: is really a man. Surely he hath borne our griefs
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and carried our sorrows. The chastisement of our peace was
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: upon him and with his stripes we are healed. And
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: we still don't know which man. It is only when
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: John the Baptist is baptizing in the Jordan River that
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: we know that the lamb that was a coat of
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: skin in the book of Genesis, the lamb that was
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: offered up by Abel in the book of Genesis, the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: lamb that was painted on the doorpost in the book
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: of Exodus is only the man that was pointed out
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: in the Jordan River with water running in between his legs.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, John says, behold, this is the one.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: This is who Isaiah is. It's talking about behold the
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Lamb of God which will take away the sins of
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the world. This is God being revealed. Jesus is God
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: being revealed. In Mark 4 and 11, the Bible talks
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: about the mystery of the kingdom of God. It is
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: something that in times past has been hidden but is
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: now revealed to God's people. Jesus spoke of it as
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: a mystery of the kingdom of God that he was
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: at that time revealing to his disciples. To his disciples,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: not to everybody, not to the world. Stop arguing with
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the world. They're not supposed to see what you see.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: They're not supposed to know what you know. They're not
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: supposed to believe what you believe. If they believe what
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: you believe, they would be saved. Do you know the
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Bible said the secret of the Lord is with them
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: that fear him and he shall show them his covenant?
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: There are some things that God will only show to
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: people that respect him, that fear him, that reverence him.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: And I don't care how much you like Sally Sue
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and Mary Jane, you can't make them see what they
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: don't see. The Bible said if our gospel be hid,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: it is hid from them that are lost. You are
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: here because God has revealed himself to you. You're not
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: here because you're a good woman. You're not here because
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: you're a holy man. You're not here because you don't
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: have proclivities and humanities and weakness. You are here because
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: God revealed himself to you. Oh my, hallelujah. He revealed himself.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: He made himself open before you. He showed himself to you.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: He let you see. It's by his mercy that you're
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: not consumed. God has revealed himself to you. Some of
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: you are the only one in your family, but God
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: revealed himself to you. Your sister didn't get it. Your
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: brother didn't get it, but you got it. God revealed
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: himself to you. Sometimes your twin didn't get it, but
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: you got it. God showed up and revealed himself unto you.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: And when you go to the family reunion, they treat
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: you funny because they don't see what you see. They
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: don't have the level of revelation to understand what you understand.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: And you're strange to them. And you got to be
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: cool with being weird. You got to be cool with
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: being weird. You cannot be his disciple until you get
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: good with being weird. As long as you have a
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: psychological need to fit in with everybody, you're going to
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: change religions every month. You're going to change your hair
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: every month. You're going to change your style every month.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: You're going to change your everything every month. Trying to
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: be all things to all people, you become nothing. Nothing.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: You got to be good with being different. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Write down in your notes. Yes, I'm peculiar. I'm peculiar.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I'm peculiar. I'm meant to be peculiar. I'm not trying
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: to keep up with the latest trend. I'm not trying
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: to keep up with the people. I do my thing
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: my way. I'm me. I'm good with being me. I'm
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: not trying to be you. I'm trying to be me.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to be the best version of what he
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: created me to be. Are you understanding what I'm saying?
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: And I'm not going to let you intimidate me into
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: what I ought to be because you are not my
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: God and I am not created in your image but
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: in his image. And the better I see him, the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: better I see myself. Good God. I said the better
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I see him, The better I see myself, the better
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I see him, the smaller my problems get. The better
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I see him, the stronger my faith gets. The better
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I see him, the more stable I am in how
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I deal with issues because I'm basing myself on the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: pillar of truth, the ground of truth. I am not
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: building on my emotions because my emotions are not stable.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: My God is stable. My God is stable. So Paul
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: says without controversy, without argument, great is the mystery of godliness.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: If it was a great mystery of humanity and we
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: went through all of those stages of revelation just for
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: a person to be manifest. How much more did we
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: go through for God to be made manifest? The Bible
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: said that God was manifested in the flesh. So number one,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about incarnation. For God to be
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: manifested in the flesh is incarnation. And it is incarnation
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: is inconceivable. Let me break it down for you. Incarnation
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: means God, who is a spirit, showed up in the flesh. Car,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: where we get carnal or carnivorous, means meat. God is
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: a spirit. For the spirit to be made meat is
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: a mystery. Incarnation means spirit became meat. And it's a
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: mystery that spirit could become meat because meat is an
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: enmity against God. According to Romans chapter 8, the Bible
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: says a carnal mind is enmity against God. So God
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: became the very thing that he hated. He became carnate. Incarnation.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: God was manifest in the flesh. Good God. Matthew 1.23.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Let's look at it for a minute. Behold, a virgin
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: shall be with child. See, we was talking about pregnancy before.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Only this one is pregnant with God himself. And shall
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: bring forth a son and his name shall call. And
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: his name they shall call his name Emmanuel. Which being
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: interpreted means God with us. Or literally the dwell amongst
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: us God. Y'all didn't hear me. The dwell amongst us God.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: It's not just that God called us to come up
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and dwell with him. It's that God came down and
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: dwelt amongst us. He is the dwell amongst us God.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: He is the dwell amongst us God. Wait, wait, wait.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Back up a minute. Not the dwell amongst you. You
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: don't own him. You can't decide who is going to heaven,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: who's not going to heaven, who is saved, who's not saved,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: who is real, who ain't real. You messing with something
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: that's none of your business because you can't own him.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: He is not the dwell amongst you, God. He is
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: the dwell amongst us, God. Somebody shout, he's my God too.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: You may not like me, but he's my God too.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: You may not appreciate what I said, but he's my
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: God too. I may get on your nerves, but he's
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: my God too. I may be immature, but he's my
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: God too. I may be unstable, but he's my God too.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I may be on medication, but he's my God too.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I may have one leg, but he's my God too.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I may be immature, but he is my God too.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: By now you ought to be shouting because I'm talking
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: about you with your crippled self, with your crazy self,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: with your weird self, with your inconsistent self, and yet
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: God dwells amongst us. God was manifest in the flesh, Timothy.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: And if you don't know this, you don't know nothing.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Because this is the pillar ground of truth. That the
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: invisible God was made visible. That the intangible God was
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: made touchable. That the spirit God walked amongst us in
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: the flesh. That the voice of the Lord took feet
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: and walked through the cool of the garden. It's God
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: incarnate dwelling amongst us. Filthy us, lying us, dirty us,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: cheating us, whoremongering us, perverted us, that dwell amongst us.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: God left the holy ranks of heaven and came down
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: where we were and dwelt amongst us. Drinking us, sneaking us,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: cheating us, deceitful us, gambling us, whoremongering us. Oh, don't
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: make me call us out. He came and dwelt among us.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Great is the mystery. That a holy God would choose
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: to live in a raggedy apartment like this. God chose
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: to move in a condemned building like this. This was
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: a condemned building and God moved in and said, I'm
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: going to live in there. Jesus is God incarnate. God
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: was manifest in the flesh and Paul is teaching Timothy.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: This is a mystery. You can't explain it. You can't
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: argue about it. The church has been arguing about the
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Godhead for years. I stopped arguing about the Godhead because
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I think it's stupid because you cannot explain what must
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: be revealed. If you argue with me and tell me
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: he's one, I can show you places where he was
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: individually three. If you tell me he's three, I want
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: to know are they going to be sitting on top
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: of each other in heaven? Because there ain't but one throne.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: God cannot be explained. He must be revealed. He must
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: be revealed. There's no need in arguing about it. He
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: must be revealed. You need a doctrine to make you
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: feel good, but it must be revealed. This is a revelation,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: not a doctrine. God was manifest in the flesh. Behold,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: a virgin shall be with child. They shall bring forth
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: a child and they shall call his name Emmanuel. God
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: tabernacled with us. Oh, wait. So that's what the tabernacle
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: was about in the Old Testament. God playing peek-a-boo. God's
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: showing us. That's what the tabernacle was in the middle
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: of the 12 tribes of Israel. The tabernacle is in
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the middle of the 12 tribes. And that is a
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: picture of Christ being the dwell amongst us. Y'all don't
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: hear it. Benjamin didn't own him. Judah didn't own him.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Y'all didn't hear. Ithamar didn't own him. Nobody could say
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: that they own God. He's a dwell amongst us God.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Issachar couldn't say he owned him. He's a dwell amongst
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: us God. In fact, he said, where two or three
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: are gathered in my name, there am I in the
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: midst of them. Glory to God. Not one of them.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: All three of them. He said, I dwell in your unity.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I'll come in the room. If two or three of
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: you gather in my name, I'll jump in the middle
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: of you. I'll get in the middle of your praise.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: If you start talking about me, I will sit down
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: in the middle of your conversation. That God would become, oh,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: let me stop. That God would become intimately entangled with
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: people like us. Out of the same mouth comes blessings
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: and cursings. And yet, when we start saying hallelujah, he's
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: worthy to be praised. Hallelujah, he's worthy to be praised.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Out of our filthy mouth, God will come and sit
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: down in the middle of the praise. Great is the
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: mystery of godliness. God was manifested in the flesh. St.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: John chapter 1 says it this way. I want to
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: read verse 14 through 18. And the word was made flesh.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine saying something out of your mouth that
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: became physical? And the word... Person. Person. Did you see that?
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: And the word person. The word was made flesh. John
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: 1 says in the beginning was the word and the
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: word was with God and the word was God. All
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: things were made by him and without him was not
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: anything made that was made. In him was life and
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: the life was the light of men. Light shined in
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: darkness and the darkness comprehended it not. It's word all
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: through 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 14. Poop is flesh.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: You ain't never said nothing that became human. You ain't
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: never said nothing that became human. You couldn't say anything
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: that moved a human. You could tell me to go
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: to hell, but it wouldn't make me burn. Your word
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: don't have that much power, but God's word is so
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: powerful that the word was made flesh. And why would
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: he want to be flesh in the first place when
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: the carnality is an enemy against God? And yet he
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: took on filth so he could be kin to you.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: So he could be touched by your moaning and groaning.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: So that he could understand your frailties and your weakness.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: So he would know what tired was. until he took
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: on flesh he didn't know what sleep was He didn't
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: know what tired was. He didn't know what irritated was.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: When he took on flesh, now he can be touched
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: by the feeling of our infirmity. Now he can redeem
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: us because according to the law, he has to be
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: kin to me in order to redeem me. And he
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: wasn't kin to me as God. He had to become
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: man in order to be a kinsman so he could
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: redeem me from the curse of the law and from sin.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: And the word was made flesh. and dwelt amongst us
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: and we beheld his glory as the glory as of
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the only begotten of the father full of grace and
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: truth that's the only way we got to see God
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: was through Jesus Jesus expresses him John bear witness of
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: him and cried saying this was he of whom I
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: speak he that cometh after me is preferred before me
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: for he was before me He was before me. Go
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: back to that scripture. I want to read that again.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: He that cometh after me is preferred before me for
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: he was before me. Do you not know that Jesus
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: said before Abraham was, I am? Are you following what
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I'm saying to you tonight? I'm going to go kind
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: of deep with you, but you can hang, can't you?
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: And of his fullness have all we received and grace
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: for grace. And of his fullness have all we received
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: has seen God at any time. The only begotten son,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: which is in the bosom of the father, hath declared him.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: So Jesus declares God to us. He is God's declaration.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: He is God revealed. Philip said, show us the father
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: and it suffices us. Jesus said, have I been so
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: long time with you and you still don't know that
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I and my father are one? If you have seen me,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: you have seen the father. That is, God was manifest
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: in the flesh. Hebrews 1, 1 through 3. Let's look
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: at this very quick. God, God, God, God, God, God.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Hebrews 1 and 1. God, who at sundry times and
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: in divers manners spake in times past unto the fathers
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: us by his Son, who he hath appointed heir of
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: all things, by whom also he He made the worlds.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Watch this. This is what I love. Who being the
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: brightness of his glory. The brightness. See, when I look
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: at that light, I really can't see the light. I
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: just see the brightness of the light. In fact, the
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: brightness stops me from seeing the light. I can't tell
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: you what size bulb is up there. I can't be
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: sure of it because all I can see is the
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: brightness of the bulb. So I can see the brightness
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: of the light, but I cannot see the light itself.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you whether those lights were in brown
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: casements or white casements or black casements because all I
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: can see is the brightness of their glory. Christ is
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: the brightness of his glory. The express light. image of
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: his person, the personality of God and upholding all things
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: by the word of his power. When he had by
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: himself purged our sins, he sat down on the right
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: hand of the majesty on high. Do you hear what
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I'm saying to you? This is God was made flesh.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: This is a simple explanation of the incarnation. You could
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: spend weeks on the incarnation and not exhausted. It has
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: to be revealed to you that Jesus is God incarnate
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: dwelling amongst us, walking amongst us. Riding ships with us.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Going in deserts with us. In the wilderness with us.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: He dwelt among us. And we beheld the wonder of
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: his glory. The brightness of his glory. The express image
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: of his person. I see the only way I can
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: see the Father is the light shining from him. Christ
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: is the brightness of his glory. And we beheld the
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: brightness of his glory. The express image of his person.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Why do we need to know this? Because we must
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: stop being ignorant.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: We must know who our God is and what he
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: has done and what he has given to us. We
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: must know that without knowing that we will not have
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: the economy of faith we need. You can't fix your
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: credit if you don't get your credit score. You can't
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: buy nothing if you don't know how much money is
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: in your wallet. We got a church full of.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: People who are living like they're bankrupt because they don't
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: know their God. They know their church. They know their pastor.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: They don't know their God. So they leave the church
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: because they didn't get to meet the pastor. How stupid
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: is that? You didn't come here to meet me. I'm
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: just like you. You came here to have a meeting
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: with God. An encounter with the Holy Spirit to come
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: to know him. And knowing me ain't knowing nobody because
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I ain't no better than you. I'm just as crazy
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: as you are. You came here to know God. And
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: if you get sick, God is the healer. And if
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: you get down, God is the one that's going to
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: raise you up. And if you're broken, God is the
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: one that can fix you. All I can do is
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: lead you to him. David said, when my heart is overwhelmed,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: God was manifest in the flesh. So that we could
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: get to know him through Jesus. So we get to
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: know the Father through the Son. We get to know
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: who Jesus is because he is the express image of
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: his person. The brightness of his glory. Good God have mercy.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to make that any clearer than
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: the brightness of that light. The brightness of the sun. Oh,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: it's hot today. The sun is so bright. I got
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: to put on sunglasses. Can I see the sun? No.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: I see the brightness coming from the sun. That's what
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Jesus is. The brightness of God. The express image of
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: his person. He is God's love made flesh. God loving
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: us Through flesh. The only thing he wanted from Mary
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: was a tent. He said, come here, girl. Nobody touch
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: you yet. He said, let me get my tent from you.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: So he got the tent from Mary. But that which
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: is within her is conceived by the Holy Ghost. And
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: he came out Emmanuel, God tabernacled with us. The tent
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: is all human and the glory is all God. To
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: God be the glory for the things he has done.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Is anybody getting any revelation in here? I want to
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: teach this till you get revelation. Down in your spirit.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: So you can stop jumping from religion to religion. I
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: ain't jumping nowhere. I found him. Who my soul lover.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: I know who my God is.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I've seen him. The express image of his person. In
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. When Jesus told him that he was God.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: They wanted to stone him. But he is absolutely God
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: and yet absolutely man. He is not the good man.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: He is the God man. He is man enough to
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: be kinsman to me. He is God enough to redeem me.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: So the word was made flesh because the word had
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: no blood. And without the shedding of blood there is
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: no remission of sins. And he needed Mary's tent so
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: he could bleed out. He bled out so I could
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: get in. Oh, y'all don't hear what I'm saying. I'm
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: going to keep on going until you get it. You
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: cut meat, it will always bleed. I don't care whether
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: it's white meat, brown meat, black meat. When you cut us,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: we all bleed red. Jesus bled red. So while y'all
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: arguing about what color Jesus is, let me tell you
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: what matters. The blood is red. He bled out. All
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: he needed, the flesh was, was so he could become
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: a living sacrifice. And when the Bible says that he
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: redeemed us by himself, it means he offered up himself.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: He is both the offerer and the offering. He is
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: the priest and the lamb. He entered into the holies
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: of holies with himself. Every other priest had to come
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: in with something else to offer up. But Jesus entered
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: in by himself. He is just as much lamb as
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: he is priest. Is this too high for you? Maybe
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: I should teach some baby food and break down some
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: crushed carrots or something like that. But somebody in this
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: room is ready for some meat. Somebody in this room
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: is ready to know. Somebody online is listening to understand
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: more fully a deeper revelation of your God. So when
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: you say hallelujah to God, you know too you're saying
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: hallelujah to God. When you say, oh, hell, the power
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: of Jesus' name, let angels prostrate fall, you know who
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: you're talking to. Are you hearing what I'm talking about?
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: I'm just on point one. Let me go to point two.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Point two, he was exonerated or justified in the spirit.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Justified in the spirit. He was justified in the spirit.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: So the Spirit is in agreement. He is not just
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: God in flesh. The Spirit justified it. Go to Matthew
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: chapter 3, verse 13 through 17. This Bible study. This
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: is how you study the Bible. Glory to God. I
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: might move you all around the Bible, but that's how
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: you study the Bible. Thank you. It's not about reading
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: the Bible. I read the Bible three times. I don't
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: mean nothing. You don't remember it. The Bible didn't tell
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: you just to read it. It says study to show
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: thyself approved, a workman unto God that need not be ashamed,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: rightly dividing the word of truth. Now we're in Matthew
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: chapter 3 verse 13. Matthew is committed to making us
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: understand that Christ is the Messiah. Understand that. We're in
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: the third chapter in the 13th verse. Then come of
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John. Then come of
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Jesus from Galilee, I've been to the Sea of Galilee,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: to Jordan unto John. Actually, the Sea of Galilee flows
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: and makes up the Jordan River. He comes down from
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Galilee to Jordan unto John to be baptized of him.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? Jesus answering
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: said unto him, Suffer it to be so now, for
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: suffered him. Watch this. Let me stop right there. Hold
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: it right there. Can I take a little bit of
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: time to talk about this? You know what I love
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: about this? This is the first biblical recording of Jesus
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: and John meeting since their mothers met in the tent.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: And Mary came and saluted Elizabeth and the babies jumped
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: in the womb. And John was filled with the Holy
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Ghost while he was yet in his mother's womb. If
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: anybody would know who Jesus was, it would be John
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: because he met him while he was still in his
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: mama's belly. Glory to God. Now he's floating around in
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth and Jesus is floating around in Mary. And when
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: the two women saluted each other, John got the Holy Ghost.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Now Jesus is floating around in the Jordan River and
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: John is floating around in the Jordan River and they're
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: back in the water again. they're right back where they
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: were it's a deja vu moment they were in the
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: fluid before they're in the fluid again and here they
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: come together again and John said oh yeah that's him
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: behold the Lamb of God who take the right the
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: sins of the world and Jesus comes stepping down into
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: the water where they first met And John says, I
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: don't want you to baptize you. You should baptize me.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: You're greater than I am. Jesus says, suffer it to
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: be so, to fulfill all righteousness. You know what? I
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: want to stop there because I want you to understand that.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: We quote it, but we don't understand it. Jesus being
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: baptized is a New Testament shadow of his death, burial,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: and resurrection. Okay? Okay? It is a shadow of his death.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: In fact, all baptism is about death, burial, and resurrection.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: If you go to Romans 6, you will read that again.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: For as many of us have been buried with him
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: in the likeness of his death, we shall be also
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: in the likeness of his resurrection. Baptism is about death, burial,
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: and resurrection. When you get baptized, it is saying that
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: your old person is dead. And you are buried with
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: him by baptism that the body of sin might be destroyed.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: That henceforth we should no longer serve sin. You know
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: why you want to declare yourself dead? Because when you're dead,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: you don't owe nobody. Y'all don't hear me. I'm teaching
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: way better than you shouting. When you're dead, you don't
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: owe nobody. They call me, my mama was dead. They
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: call me about some bill she owed. I said, she dead.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: They said, she owed this bill. I said, no, she don't.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: She dead. You can't collect from a cemetery. She dead.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: And everything I owed, every debt of unrighteousness, every debt
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: of sin. Hallelujah. When I was buried with him by baptism,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: I tell hell, you can't make me pay a bill
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: because I'm dead. I'm buried with him by baptism that
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: the body of sin might be destroyed. That henceforth I
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: should no longer serve sin. Oh, God, give somebody a revelation.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Somebody online a revelation. Somebody in the sanctuary a revelation.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Let somebody's eyes be open tonight that they can see
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: you more clearly than they ever saw him before. And Jesus,
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: watch this, when he was baptized, went up straightway out
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: of the water, which means he was immersed and came
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: up out of the water. I'm not going to argue
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: that point, but I just want you to know this.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: He came up out of the water, and lo, the
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: heavens opened up unto him. And he saw the Spirit
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: of God descending like a dove and lighting upon him.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: No wonder it said he was justified of the Spirit
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: because the Spirit lit on Jesus. From that moment forward,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: they started calling him Jesus Christ. Christ, Christos, anointed one.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Christ is not a last name, I'm sorry. It is
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: a messianic validation. It is the Holy Spirit saying, he
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: the man, he the one. He's the Messiah. He's the
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: one you've been looking for. The Christos was the sign.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: So the Holy Spirit descended on him like as a dove.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: No wonder the Bible, Paul is teaching Timothy, he is
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: justified in the Spirit because he whom the Spirit sets
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: upon is the Messiah. And lo, a voice from heaven saying,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: this is my beloved son in whom I'm well pleased.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: So the spirit descended on the son like a dove.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: And a voice spoke from heaven, which is the father.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: And the father said, this is my beloved son in
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: whom I'm well pleased. So what he is telling us
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: is that when he rose from the dead, he rose
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: with the fullness of the Godhead in him bodily. He
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: didn't just, oh, bless. Let me go deeper. He said,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: no man takes my life. I lay it down. If
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: I lay it down, I will pick it back up again.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Another place he said, I was raised by the glory
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: of the, by the power of the spirit. Another place
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: he said, I was raised by the glory of the father.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Either two of them are lies or three of them
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: are one. When he rose up from the dead, the
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: father endorsed him. And said, this is my beloved son
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: in whom I'm well pleased. The spirit descended on him
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: like a dove. This is why he thought it not
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: robbery to be equal with God, yet made of himself
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: no reputation. Because the God is not. in an argument
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: with God about God church folks are in an argument
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: with each other about God but God is not in
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: an argument with himself having an identity crisis or multiple
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: personality disorder Because God knows that God is God. No
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: matter however he shows up, he's God. He's God in creation.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: He's God in redemption. He's God anytime he shows up.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: He's God if he's the fourth one in the fiery furnace.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: He's God if he stands on the Mount of Olives.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: God is just God. Who shall I say sent me? Oh,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: you can't handle me. Just tell him I am that
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: I am. I can be whatever I want to be.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: I can do whatever I want to do. I am God. Oh,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: y'all ought to be jumping like juice because the power
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: of God, he's justified in the spirit. The spirit has
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: pointed him out. The Christos. Jesus Christ. Oh God, I
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: want to go deeper. I don't have time to go deeper.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you will see Jesus Christ. Other times you will
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: see Christ Jesus. Come here, come here, come here. Come here,
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: come here. See, get behind me. They can't see you
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: because you're the Christ Jesus. All he can see is Jesus, okay?
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: Jesus the Christ, sometimes Jesus Christ. But when he was
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: raised from the dead, Christ Jesus for the same spirit
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: that quickened Jesus' body and raised it from the dead
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: shall also quicken your mortal body. When you say Christ Jesus,
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: you're looking at the spirit that quickened him. When you
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: say Jesus Christ, you're looking at the spirit behind him.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: But either way, you can't divide them because it is
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: the Christ that points out Jesus to be the Messiah.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Are y'all with me? If you're with me, holler at me. Oh, good, good, good.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: So he is justified. I needed you to come up
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: here and justify me because you're acting as an agent
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit to justify me. Anytime God gets
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: ready to justify anybody's ministry, he will do it by
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: the anointing. Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: come on. It's not about whether you like me or not.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: It's about me being anointed. You can't mess with me
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: if I'm anointed. If the anointing is on me, I'm
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: justified by the Spirit. Hallelujah to God. You want to
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: be on something that is anointed. I don't mean acting anointed.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: I am so sick and tired of people acting anointed.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: There's a difference between acting anointed and being anointed. When
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: you are really anointed, you have power. And when you
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: have power, you affect situations, not style, power. Not style, power.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: You can steal my style, but you can't steal my power.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: For the power I have is not of this world.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Are you hearing what I'm saying? Are you hearing what
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? Any singer over there will tell you there's
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: a difference between singing because you got a voice and
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: singing when the anointing falls on you. When the anointing
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: falls on you, you can reach notes. You can sing
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: more effectively. You can change lives. People will fall out
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: on the altar because you're anointed.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: You can't fake anointing. I don't care if you don't
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: like me.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: I'm anointed. Ain't no way you can get here and
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: not be anointed. Now stick pins in all the dolls
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: you want, but you can't curse what God has blessed.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Don't mess with me. Don't mess with me. Don't mess
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: with me. Don't mess with me. Don't mess with me.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: Don't mess with me. If I had any hair, I'd
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: let you have some because you can't do nothing by
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: burying my hair. I'm blessed. If the anointing gets on you,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: it'll change your whole life. No devil in hell can
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: do anything. When you're anointed by the power of the
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: living God, can't nobody curse what God has blessed? Somebody shout,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: I am anointed. I've been justified by the Spirit. I've
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: been justified by the Spirit. That's why you are not
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: letting anybody mess up your anointing. Don't let nobody have
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: your anointing. Don't get so mad at nobody you lose
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: your anointing. Don't get so frustrated you lose your anointing.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: Because the anointing proves that you are legitimately his. When
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: the prodigal son came home, the father said, kill the
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: fatted calf.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: In order to redeem, blood has to be shed. Wrap
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: a robe around him. Perpetuation, that's the covering for my sin.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: But here's the Holy Spirit. Put the ring on his finger.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: Because the ring is the family sign that indicates you're
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: back in the family. This my son who was dead
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: is alive again. The ring is the family crest. Do
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: not grieve the Holy Spirit of God whereby ye are
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: sealed unto the day of redemption. Let me move on.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: I'm only on two. I got to get to three.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Are you with me? This is Bible class. Hallelujah. Tell
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: somebody I'm in Bible class. I'm getting anointed in Bible class.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: I'm getting a revelation in Bible class. I'm getting to
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: know my God in Bible class. Yokes are breaking off
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: of me in Bible class. The power of the living
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: God is falling on me in Bible class. Hallelujah. Yokes
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: are falling off of me in Bible class. Demons are
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: falling at my feet in Bible class. Chains are falling
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: at my side in Bible class. The anointing is in
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: this place. No devil can take over this place. The
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: anointing is in this place. Somebody give him 30 seconds
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: of crazy praise. I mean crazy praise. Anointed praise. Holy
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Ghost praise. Justified praise. Praise in the power of the
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: living God. So the Father spoke from heaven and said,
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: he's the man. The Holy Spirit descended like a dove,
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: said he's the man. When he came up out of
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: the water. He is the Christ, the Christos, the Christma,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, Jesus the Christ, the anointed one. And immediately
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: he was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: be tempted. Where'd my Spirit go? Where'd my Spirit go?
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Come here, Spirit. Come on, Spirit, and lead me into
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: the wilderness. The Christos, they just fell on my shoulder.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: is now leading me into the wilderness. And nobody's making
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: me go. I'm following him into the wilderness to be tempted,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: to be authenticated, to be justified, to prove to hell
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: that what tripped up Adam won't trip up me. You
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: can use the same tricks, but they won't have the
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: same effects because greater is he that is in me
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: than he that is in the world. Go on and
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: lead me into the wilderness. I'll be all right. And
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: there he is in the wilderness. And there some of
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: you are right now in the wilderness. But don't be
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: troubled in the wilderness because if the Holy Ghost got
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: you in, the Holy Ghost will get you out. I
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: said if the Holy Ghost got you in, the Holy
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: Ghost will get you out. If the Holy Ghost got
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: you in, the Holy Ghost will get you out. I'm
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: about to mess around and feel like preaching up here.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: Somebody shout yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: fist bump somebody and tell them I'm going to get
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: out of this. I'm going to get out of this.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: If the Holy Spirit chose to lead me into this,
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: the same Spirit is going to lead me out of this.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: I've got a feeling that everything's going to be all right.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: I've got a feeling. I've got a feeling everything's going
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: to be all right. Be alright! Be alright! Your Holy Ghost,
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: done told me. Can I teach this word? Shall I
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: teach this word? I love to teach this word. I
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: must teach this word. If I don't teach this word,
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: the rocks will cry out. Number three. Number three is angeology.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: Angeology is scene of angels. And the reason I wanted
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: the Spirit to bring me back into the wilderness is
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: because I wanted to talk about angeology a little bit.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: Angeology is when the Spirit led Jesus out into the
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: wilderness and there he was tempted. he had fasted for
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: 40 days and 40 nights he began to be hungry
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: and then Satan came and tried to trip him up
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: he used every trick he used on Adam and every
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: place where Adam and Eve were defeated Christ became victorious
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: he was victorious but he was tired but the Bible
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: said that That the angels came and ministered unto him.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: Am I in that Bible? Am I in that Bible?
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: Am I in that Bible? Am I in that Bible?
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: Why did the angels come and minister unto him? Because
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: he was in charge of the angels. He was the
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: captain of the host. He was the master of the angels.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: He could have called 10,000 angels. The angels knew who
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Jesus was. Hungry or not, they knew who he was.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: Seen of angels. I ain't got time to give you
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. Going to four. I got to finish up.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: Preached unto the Gentiles. He was preached on the Gentiles,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: Luke 2, 27 through 33. And he came by the
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: the child Jesus to do for him after the custom
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: of the law, which is circumcision, then took he him
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: up in his arms and blessed God and said, Lord,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace. According to
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: thy word, this is Simeon. For mine eyes have seen
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: thy salvation. He was just a baby, but even Simeon
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: knew that he was salvation. And I said, I have
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: seen Christ the Lord, which thou has prepared before the
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: face of all people. Not just you. All people. A
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: light to lighten the Gentiles. And the glory of thy
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: people Israel. And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: What were they marveling at? They knew he had come
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: unto his own, but they didn't know he was going
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: to be a light unto the Gentiles. There was no
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: reason for them to marvel at what Simeon had said
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: because they already knew that that which was within Mary
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: was conceived by the Holy Ghost and that his name
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: would be called Jesus and he would save his people
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: from their sins. But they did not know that he
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: would be a light to the Gentiles. So one of
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: the validations is he is to be preached unto the Gentiles,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: believed on in the world. And I'm going to finish
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: with this one. Six, received up in the glory. Put six, yeah, yeah.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: Received up into glory. John 17, one through seven. Received
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: up in the glory. These words speak Jesus and lifted
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: has come. Glorify thy son that thy son also may
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: glorify thee. As thou has given him power over all flesh, carnate, flesh,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: that he should give eternal life to as many as
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: thou has given him. And this is life eternal, that
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: they might know thee, the only true God, and the
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: Come on. I have glorified thee on earth. I have
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: O Father. Glorify thou me with thine own self, with
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: the glory which I had with thee. Before the world was,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: given me are of thee and that's before he catches
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: the limousine service of a cloud and is caught up
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: in the glory now great is the mystery of godliness
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: for god was manifest in the flesh justified in the
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: spirit seen Of angels. Preach unto the Gentiles. Believed on
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: in the world. And received up. Into glory. This is
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: the pillar. Ground of truth. And Timothy. If you preach
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: everything else. And you don't have this. You don't have
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: a pillar. You don't have a pillar. You don't have
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: a pillar. If they move you off of who Jesus is,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: you don't.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: Have a pillar. He's my rock. He's my shield. He's
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: my buckler.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, God, I got to quit. I feel like preaching
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: old school. I feel that old school storefront anointing.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: Jesus is. Jesus is. Jesus is. Jesus is. Jesus is.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: He's my buckler. He's my shield. He's my redeemer. He
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: is my prince. He is my lamb. He is my lion.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: He is the bread of life. He is the water.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: Jesus is....
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: What's his name? What's his name? What's his name? What's
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: his name? How in his name? Call his name.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: Healing in the name.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: What's his name? What's his name?
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: Jesus, Jesus.
