Transcript
- 0:04Sometimes I look around and I see the world as it is.
- 0:12I know you're saying to yourself, come on pastor, what are you talking about?
- 0:16I see the word coming true.
- 0:19I see as the word unfolds.
- 0:23People are blinded with truth.
- 0:27Lemme, lemme help out a little bit.
- 0:28Lemme help you out a little bit.
- 0:31In the book of John one, John chapter three, verse 13, the word says, my will, not my brethren, if the world hates you, here's my title for the day.
- 0:44You are blessed if the world hates you.
- 0:49Let me say that again.
- 0:49Now you are blessed if the world hates you.
- 0:55Why though?
- 0:57See the world love their own.
- 1:00No.
- 1:00Now watch this'cause see, Jesus is putting this pretty simple in his word.
- 1:04You either for me or the world.
- 1:08There's no in, no in-between, no if, ands, no buts either for me or the world.
- 1:17Let's get into the word.
- 1:18Let's get into the word.
- 1:19So we love what the scripture says when it says, if the world hates you, but there's a problem, can you handle it?
- 1:28See, people naturally want to be accepted by people.
- 1:33Can you handle it though, when the world hates you?
- 1:38Like I said, we in the book of John, first John chapter three, but before we get to that statement, we gotta see who's he talking about?
- 1:46Is this everybody that goes to church?
- 1:48Is this the domination?
- 1:50Who is he talking about?
- 1:54We're talking about your blessed.
- 1:56If the world hates you, well, let's go from verse one, one, John chapter three, starting with verse one.
- 2:03Who is he talking about?
- 2:06Behold, what manner of love the father has restored upon us that we should be called the sons of God.
- 2:18Therefore, the world knows us not.
- 2:21Because it knew him, not now.
- 2:23He said, when you get connected to me, I'm gonna help you out.
- 2:26Right now the world ain't going to deal with you'cause he don't know God and he don't know you.
- 2:33So that's why in verse two he says, beloved, uh oh.
- 2:37He's throwing something on you now.
- 2:38He beloved.
- 2:41Now are we the sons of God?
- 2:45And it does not yet appear.
- 2:48What we shall be.
- 2:49Now, I don't want you to get that.
- 2:50Now think about it.
- 2:51We getting dressed.
- 2:52We're getting dressed.
- 2:54But you don't know how you're gonna look.
- 2:55Why?
- 2:55'cause there's no mirror.
- 2:57He's saying you don't know how you are going to be.
- 3:00But we know that when he fell up here, who?
- 3:04Christ the Messiah, Jesus Christ himself.
- 3:08When he appears we shall be like him or we shall see him as he is.
- 3:15I wish people could see us.
- 3:17As we are.
- 3:19I wish we could see people as they are good, bad, or indifferent.
- 3:25It is what it is.
- 3:27I don't care if they put a sign on top of their head.
- 3:29I wish we could see people as they are, but let's get on because you are gonna deal with your blessed if the world hates you because you belong to God and every man that has this hope in him Christ.
- 3:46Purify himself, even as he is pure.
- 3:50Hold up.
- 3:51Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 3:53The the word told me, in every man that has this hope in who Christ purify himself, even as he is pure, you are telling me that we have the ability to cross over from sin to righteousness.
- 4:13That's the word now.
- 4:15He said, who You purify yourself now before you can purify yourself.
- 4:20You gotta know, what a word.
- 4:23Let me go on.
- 4:23Lemme go on on we talking now because in verse four, whosoever who whosoever commits sin transgressive.
- 4:35Also, the law for sin is a transgression of the law.
- 4:43You got to be kidding me.
- 4:45And you know that he was manifest to take away our sins and in him is no sin.
- 4:54Don't miss that.
- 4:55Now, he says, and in him, in Christ, there's no sin.
- 4:59He said, I've manifest myself so I can take away your sin.
- 5:04It was never sin in Christ.
- 5:07Why did he do that?
- 5:10Whosoever.
- 5:12Abide us in him sin us, not, let me say that again.
- 5:15Now, whosoever abide us in, him sin us.
- 5:19Not whosoever sin has not seen him neither known him.
- 5:28You got to be kidding me.
- 5:33Why though?
- 5:35Because it gets deeper.
- 5:38Watch what it says in verse seven.
- 5:39Little children don't miss that.
- 5:41Now, as you are starting to learn, you don't know what to do, why you are little children in the physical concept.
- 5:51Now it's a spiritual concept.
- 5:53He said you are trying to figure it out, but you still don't know.
- 5:56So he goes and says, little children, let no man deceive you.
- 6:03He that does righteousness is righteous.
- 6:08Uh, you, you didn't miss that even as he is righteous.
- 6:13See, this is a progression.
- 6:16Okay, let, let me let break it down a little bit better so you can really get an understanding.
- 6:19When a child is thinking about walking, it sees it, but it can't do it yet.
- 6:25Why?
- 6:26It hasn't given that capability yet.
- 6:28So what he does it crawl and then.
- 6:32He tries to stand up, but he falls.
- 6:34Why?
- 6:34Because he learning, I gotta manifest, I gotta work on disability.
- 6:41And then he slowly takes the hand off and he take a step.
- 6:47It's they gonna fall.
- 6:48Why?
- 6:49Because they haven't learned a mastery yet.
- 6:51Same thing with a spiritual walk.
- 6:54As you starting to walk, you're learning something.
- 6:56You see it in the word, but you starting to manifest it.
- 6:59So what you do, you step out a little bit.
- 7:01You start crawling, and then you, you hold on'cause you, you're holding onto Christ and then eventually you take your hand outta Christ.
- 7:09Okay, I just stand.
- 7:10Then you gonna fall.
- 7:11Why?
- 7:12Because you have to fall, then you get back up.
- 7:16And then you put your hand on again and then you let go and then you may take a couple steps, then you fall.
- 7:22What are you learning?
- 7:23You are learning to manifest the spiritual walk and you will keep falling because you start to get a hang of it.
- 7:30Righteousness, doing the right thing according to the word of God.
- 7:34Let me go on.
- 7:34We gonna get this right here now, but we going on'cause watch this in verse eight.
- 7:40He that committed sin is of the devil.
- 7:44Don't miss that now you are not gonna walk right when you stop this walk.
- 7:50You are being trans you, you are being moved from the devil because we all belong to the devil.
- 7:56And as you are coming closer to Christ, you are letting go of your sinful nature.
- 8:02That's the man, that's the flesh.
- 8:03And now you're grabbing a hold of the spirit.
- 8:06You can't see it.
- 8:07You gotta feel it.
- 8:09And as you start to walk spiritually, all that nasty attitude you have is starting to be released.
- 8:16All that knowledge of flesh and sex and immorality and curses and lying is starting to be released.
- 8:22And as you get deep in the word, you start using the word blessed.
- 8:27You start understanding the word purify.
- 8:29You start learning word clean.
- 8:30You start learning the word now dignified.
- 8:32Now you start moving in the spiritual realm, but it takes a process.
- 8:39See we get frustrated'cause we want to get this all done.
- 8:42Now you didn't stop walking.
- 8:43Now the average child don't walk until eight months, nine months.
- 8:51Some kids go over a year before they start walking.
- 8:54Why There's a progression.
- 8:56Let me go on, lemme keep on going now.
- 8:59So he that commanded sin is of the devil and we all was for the devil's sin us from the beginning.
- 9:05We did.
- 9:07But you ain't gotta stay there.
- 9:08Why you think you said born again?
- 9:10See, let me, let me share something with you.
- 9:11Now.
- 9:12You know the day you got born,'cause they told you it's on a birth certificate, but when you get saved, you'll never know that date.
- 9:21People will tell you what I knew the day I like I said, you're a liar.
- 9:24That's against the word.
- 9:26You knew there was something in you, but the day you got saved and manifested the Holy Spirit, you don't know that because you can have the Holy Spirit before you realize you have it.
- 9:37Why?
- 9:39Because your seed takes a while to manifest.
- 9:42Okay, let me do it another way.
- 9:43Since we missed that, that's our spiritual, let's go.
- 9:46Let's go physical.
- 9:48A girl sleeps with a guy today.
- 9:52She doesn't necessarily go get pregnant today.
- 9:54She got up till 48 to 72 hours to still get pregnant by the seed.
- 10:00Oh, y'all didn't wanna talk to me today.
- 10:02So even though it was there, it did not manifest.
- 10:09The minute the egg and the sperm comes together and now it gets fertilized, then the manifestation starts.
- 10:18It's small.
- 10:18In the beginning, she could walk around the whole month and don't even know she's pregnant.
- 10:23She could even go two months without she's pregnant.
- 10:26But that third month, uh oh.
- 10:28Something changing.
- 10:29She will start gaining weight.
- 10:31She gonna start eating, she gonna get nauseous no matter what.
- 10:36There's a change being felt.
- 10:39It was the same thing happening, but it was so small and so minute.
- 10:44She don't even recognize it.
- 10:45Everything feels the same.
- 10:48Oh, let me keep on going.
- 10:49Lemme keep on going because see we going somewhere today now.
- 10:53So it tells you, he said the devil sent us from the beginning.
- 10:57For this purpose, watch this now, for this purpose.
- 11:01The son of God was manifest.
- 11:03Why He gotta save us from the devil, but he might destroy the work of the devil.
- 11:11Whosoever verse nine.
- 11:13Now whosoever, we just saw that three times.
- 11:15Now, whosoever, it's a choice if born of God does not commit sin.
- 11:23For his seed remains in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God.
- 11:30That word born, that's manifestation of the Holy Spirit.
- 11:34Oh, lemme go ahead and give you right now.
- 11:36That's the manifestation of the Holy Spirit and what's happening is a lot of people get stuck in the one in the two month birth and medical physician.
- 11:50Time that will drive your spiritual growth Time drives your physical growth.
- 11:57Time doesn't operate in the spiritual realm that way.
- 12:01So in verse nine, it tells us.
- 12:04Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin.
- 12:08That word born is now in that spirit is available, so you know it's there for this seed remains in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God in death.
- 12:23The children of God, I manifest.
- 12:25Don't miss that.
- 12:26He's showing you the manifestation of the children of God.
- 12:31Son of God, same word, same concept, and the children of the devil.
- 12:39Whosoever does not.
- 12:40Righteousness is not of God, neither he, that love is not his devil.
- 12:45Now hold on up.
- 12:47Now hold up.
- 12:47I'm, I'm confused again.
- 12:49Now, this word brethren, that's not everybody.
- 12:53I'm sorry.
- 12:55I don't know who's taught y'all to just lie, but that's not everybody.
- 13:01You are not my brother.
- 13:03If you are not of my father.
- 13:06If God is not your father, you are not my brother.
- 13:09Now, brother and sister is the same thing, because if you got the spirit of God, it's a male spirit, so you all fall in the manifest of a male.
- 13:18In the spiritual realm, there's no sense thing as a female, it's all male.
- 13:23It's the same spirit.
- 13:24It's the spirit of God, and it can't be a female.
- 13:26It's a male spirit.
- 13:30Come on now.
- 13:30We're talking truth, now understanding.
- 13:33But now let us go on so we can get some understanding.
- 13:37Whosoever does not.
- 13:38Righteousness is not of God, neither he that love is not his brother.
- 13:42I am want you to understand I if you got the spirit of God, I can't hate you now.
- 13:49I should hate no one.
- 13:50Shouldn't even hate your enemy, but I definitely can't hate you.
- 13:55Why?
- 13:56We are from the same father, we got the same spirit.
- 14:01And if we are having a problem with each other, there's a problem.
- 14:06One of us is not of God because if we both above the world, we would love each other.
- 14:14That goes back to even, uh, uh, even, uh, when you're evenly yoked.
- 14:19Same concept.
- 14:21Somebody has a spirit of God, and if you are evenly young, then both of y'all do.
- 14:25If you're uneven, one, don't.
- 14:28Simple.
- 14:28It's not complicated.
- 14:29That's why the world don't have a problem with you getting married to a nonbeliever.
- 14:33Let's go on.
- 14:34Let's go on now.
- 14:35Here we go.
- 14:35Now, because I want you to understand now in this.
- 14:40The children of God are manifest and the children of the devil.
- 14:44Whosoever does not.
- 14:45Righteous is not of God.
- 14:47Neither he does love is not his brothers.
- 14:49For this is a message that you heard from when the beginning that you should love one another, not as Cain who was what from the wicked one.
- 15:04Uh, you missed that now, not as Cain who was of that wicked one from the devil.
- 15:10And slew his brother Abel came to Abel and whosoever sl he him, because his own works were evil and his brother was righteous.
- 15:25I don't miss that, that Then we go to how we started this Ma, not my brother.
- 15:31If the world hates you, came hate Abel because he was righteous.
- 15:36He didn't do nothing wrong with him.
- 15:38He was righteous in the sight of God.
- 15:42Now, I, I know you say to yourself, pastor, this is a lot, that, that means most of the people gonna hate me.
- 15:49Yes.
- 15:50I'll be honest, yes, outta every 25 people meet you.
- 15:5524 gonna hate you.
- 15:57I'm gonna be, I'm just gonna be real with you.
- 15:58It's going to be what it is.
- 15:59And you know the world is going to hate you.
- 16:01It is what it is now.
- 16:03But watch this though, because this is where.
- 16:07I think people miss it.
- 16:10They wanna be loved by the world, but they don't want to be loved by God.
- 16:15That's why I say I hated Esau, but I love Jacob.
- 16:19Why?
- 16:20Because Esau was from the devil.
- 16:23Jacob is from God.
- 16:26So I, I mean, you say to yourself, pastor, this, you, you, you, you'll win some place that most preachers won't go.
- 16:33I know, I know, but I ain't done yet.
- 16:36I'm about to take you even deeper because I know you ask yourself some, sometimes the questions.
- 16:44What is the blessing part of being of God?
- 16:49Ah, Psalms 1 0 3.
- 16:53I, I can give you a blessed one, but I really wanna deal with verse two all the way to 22 because we always say it, but how is it different?
- 17:01How does God look at me different than somebody else?
- 17:04That's not of God?
- 17:05Well, this is his word.
- 17:07Bless the Lord, oh my soul and all that is within me, bless His holy me.
- 17:13Now, that's a worshiper.
- 17:16But now here's some of the things that a lot of people don't realize.
- 17:22He says in verse two, bless the Lord oh my soul.
- 17:26And forget not his benefits.
- 17:31What?
- 17:32See, he used to be, it is not always.
- 17:35Now, it used to be when a woman marries a man, she matters according to how he's gonna bless her.
- 17:44Well, we talking about being married to Christ.
- 17:46Now, what is his benefit?
- 17:49Why should I be of Christ?
- 17:54Well, let's go to the word now.
- 17:56In verse three, he says, who forgiven all thy iniquity to all your sins?
- 18:03I forgive who heal is all thy disease.
- 18:06These are not for everybody.
- 18:08These for the one that belong to him.
- 18:11When I see people with cancer and dementia, well, y'all want to be in the world.
- 18:18Is what you gotta deal with.
- 18:20The Lord promised his people, I got you now.
- 18:26I'm gonna forgive your iniquities.
- 18:29I'm gonna heal your, I can heal all your disease.
- 18:33He didn't say you won't get'em.
- 18:34He said, I'm gonna heal'em.
- 18:36Oh, come on now.
- 18:37Come on now.
- 18:38Then in verse four it says, who redeems die life?
- 18:44From destruction.
- 18:45He says, you know you was going to be destroyed, but yet I redeem you.
- 18:50Who chronic be you with loving kindness and tender Mercy?
- 18:55He said, I'm gonna be kind to you even though I don't have to.
- 18:58I'm gonna be tender even though I don't have to because you belong to me.
- 19:04Now, I want you to imagine a woman handling her brand new baby.
- 19:11She's taking care of her.
- 19:12Why?
- 19:13Because she love her.
- 19:15Remember now the whole time this baby's in their stomach.
- 19:18She don't know this baby.
- 19:20She know it's in the stomach, but she don't know how it looks.
- 19:24But the minute she sees them, she's in love with'em.
- 19:26Why?
- 19:27Because it's hers.
- 19:28That's how God look at us.
- 19:30He said, you've allowed to me.
- 19:33Who satisfies Now why They die Mouth.
- 19:37With good things.
- 19:38Imagine how a mother gives a pacify, a bottle, a juice.
- 19:43It gives it to the baby.
- 19:44Why?
- 19:45Because he wanna bless him.
- 19:46God says, I wanna do the same thing to you so that mouth is a nude, like the Eagles.
- 19:53She said, I want you to know, I want you to fly hide.
- 19:57I don't want you to be like chickens.
- 19:58I want you to fly.
- 19:59I want you to be independent.
- 20:00I want you to be able to do things other people won't even think about doing because you're different.
- 20:06The Lord execute his righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
- 20:11He says, you are going to be oppressed, but guess what?
- 20:14I got you.
- 20:16They're going to lie on you.
- 20:17Don't worry about it.
- 20:18I got you.
- 20:19They're going to hate you.
- 20:20Don't worry about it.
- 20:21I got you.
- 20:24He made known all his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
- 20:30He says the same way the children of Israel was oppressed, they was inflamed.
- 20:35So will you.
- 20:37I will take care of you.
- 20:38That's why we as African Americans, we've been oppressed.
- 20:44He said, but I want you to realize your oppression was me going drawing closer to you.
- 20:50I know people ask themselves the questions.
- 20:51Why did my answers have to go through that?
- 20:54Because of the word.
- 20:57We're one of the only group of people that's not mad when you have done us wrong.
- 21:01We might have don't like it, but we ain't gonna be mad at you forever.
- 21:05Why it doesn't make sense.
- 21:10The Lord is merciful and gracious.
- 21:13Slaughter, anger, plenty of mercy.
- 21:15Those are not for everybody.
- 21:18Those are for his people.
- 21:21They have made a choice.
- 21:23They clean their life up to stop sitting.
- 21:25Everybody's not there.
- 21:30He will not always try.
- 21:33Neither will he keep his anger forever.
- 21:35He says, I want you to know I, I'm, I'm even as God, he gets angry.
- 21:42He said, but I ain't gonna execute judgment on you.
- 21:46He has not dealt with us after our sin.
- 21:51Uh, let me go to say that again.
- 21:52Now.
- 21:53I ain't know who.
- 21:54I ain't know who.
- 21:54Listen to this now.
- 21:55She said, there's a lot of people you watch somebody else go through the same thing you go through and it blew their life up.
- 22:02You went through it and you didn't get what you deserve.
- 22:09That's why he said he has not dealt with us after our since.
- 22:12He says, you have sin.
- 22:14I know you have.
- 22:15Okay, let me, let me help y'all out.
- 22:16I, I'm gonna talk about media and y'all ain't ready to listen to me.
- 22:18See, I know.
- 22:20I've done some things that had me hell bound jail bound.
- 22:25Yet, God saved me.
- 22:26Why?
- 22:29Why did I deserve it?
- 22:32No, I deserve the punishment.
- 22:35He said, but guess what?
- 22:37I'm not gonna give you after your sins, nor reward you according to our for as the heaviness high.
- 22:45Don't miss this now, above the earth.
- 22:48So great is his mercy toward them.
- 22:51That's him.
- 22:51He says, I have mercy for you.
- 22:54Yes, I know you have done wrong, but guess what?
- 22:57My mercy is like the heaven is high above the earth.
- 23:02So is my mercy towards you.
- 23:04That's saying me.
- 23:07As far as the east is from the west.
- 23:09So far has he removed our transgression from us?
- 23:13Don't miss that now.
- 23:14He said he's removed it.
- 23:17See, when we trying to stop walking, right?
- 23:19He says you can't do it.
- 23:21But now I'll help you.
- 23:24Life as a father pious his children.
- 23:28So the Lord pierce them that fear him.
- 23:31That word fear is reverence, but don't miss that.
- 23:34That word fear is fear.
- 23:37He says, I, I don't want you to think them.
- 23:39I want you to realize who I am and I do for He knows I'll rain.
- 23:48He remembers we are dust.
- 23:51Oh, I don't miss that now.
