  Speaker 4: here in mercy tonight. You got the activity of your
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: living in mercy tonight. God didn't have to give you
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: your breath, but He gave you breath tonight because He's merciful.
• 2:47

• 3:25
  Speaker 4: hot oven. So if you heat this place up tonight,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: God will move tonight. If you get online and start
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: praising him, God will move in your house tonight. He'll
• 3:35

• 3:55
  Speaker 4: the Lord. If you're a backslider, praise the Lord. If
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: you have been half-servant, praise the Lord. The only criteria
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: is that you have breath. If you ain't dead, you
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: ought to praise the Lord. I said, if you ain't dead,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: if you got a pulse, you ought to praise the
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Lord tonight. I can't hear you. You're getting a little

• 4:48
  Speaker 4: you feel his presence. I feel his presence in here.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Glory to God. Well, let's go to work. We're going
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: to Romans chapter 8, where we were Sunday. And you
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: don't have to remain standing. You can sit down. Father,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: bless your word tonight while it is being expounded upon you.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Let it materialize in our hearts and our spirit and
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: our character. Transform us into the image of your dear son.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Have your way in this place tonight in a supernatural way.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: We don't want it to be a natural way. We
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: want it to be a supernatural way. Put your super
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: on my natural. Yes, Lord, increase us tonight as we
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: expound the word of God. In Jesus' name, amen. You
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: may be seated in the presence of the Lord. We
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: are in the book of Romans, which is suspected to
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: be written by the Apostle Paul. He is sent to
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: the Romans. He is a citizen of Rome. He has
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: a background of Roman history, and yet he is of
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Israeli ethnicity and background, and he has come to the
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Romans to minister to them. Now, Rome is a massive
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: metropolitan city, It's got all kinds of people. It's not
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: like your hood. It's got all kinds of people. It's
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: got people speaking different languages, coming from different parts of
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: the world. It's got business people there. It's got spiritual
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: people there. It's got carnal people there. It's got lust
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: going on over there. It's got sexual sin and deviation
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: going on over there. It's got prayer and worship going
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: on over there. There's all kinds of things going on
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: in Rome. Rome is a metropolitan city like New York,
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: like Paris, like London. It's a huge city. It's an empire.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: It's an empire that has various ventricles that go out
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: into different parts of the world. It is the superpower
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: of his time. And God has sent him to Rome
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: to minister. Now, Rome is mostly heathenistic, idolatrous, full of
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: vain vanity, and all sorts of debauchery. And the church
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: is just being birthed in Rome. It's not popular to
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: be a Christian. You don't come to church because it's popular.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: You don't come to church because it's the thing to do. No,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: in Rome, you come to church that you might begin
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: to be on the first floor of a massive empire
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: that God is going to build and continues to build
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: in Rome. He continues to build on that foundation that
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: was laid by the apostles in Rome. And it was
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Paul's job to break up that hard ground, that solid place,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: that stubborn place, that confused place. Much learning had made
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: them mad. So many doctrines had mixed themselves together until
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: they had diluted and polluted the gospel. And yet Paul
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: comes to give them a clear word and a better
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: understanding of the word of God and what it can
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: do and what it can be. He starts out the
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: chapter in verse one saying, there is therefore now no
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus who walk
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: no longer in after the flesh, but after the spirit.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Now they had been walking after the flesh all of
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: their lives. He said, but if you just walk after
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: the spirit, you don't have to catch it. But if
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: you walk after it, if you get behind it and
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: chase it and pursue the Spirit, there is therefore now
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: no condemnation. I don't care what you did, you won't
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: be condemned. I don't care if you were caught in
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: the act of adultery and they're getting ready to stone you,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: you won't be condemned. I don't care if you stole
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: a loaf of bread from the bakery, God said you
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: won't be condemned. There is therefore now no condemnation or
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: no judgment to them that are in Christ Jesus who
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: walk not after the flesh, You're not seeking the flesh.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: You don't wake up in the morning talking about who
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: you're going to get with. You're not trying to inbox
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: everybody in the middle of the night. You wake up
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: in the morning seeking Jesus. Early in the morning will
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: I seek your face. You praise him in your car.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: You talk to him in your living room. And God said,
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: if you just chase me, I'll take away condemnation out
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: of your life. That's what God loved about David. David
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: was after his heart. not a pattern of his heart.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: He was chasing his heart. He was in pursuit of
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: his heart. He was waking up singing songs to God,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: writing poetry to God. What you call the book of
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Psalms was a collection of memoirs unto God that he
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: gave to God out there by himself, by his lonely self.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: That's what you ought to do with time by yourself.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: You say you're tired of being alone. You ought to
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: get in there and start singing to God. You ought
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: to start writing poetry to God. Because if you chase God,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: he'll chase you back. If you pursue God, he'll pursue
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: you back he said I found me a man that
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: is after my heart he's chasing me he's wooing me
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: he's flirting with me he's trying to date me he's
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: trying to get my attention he is after my heart
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: he's calling on me in the morning he's calling on
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: me in the night He is after my heart. I'm
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: wondering if there's anybody in here tonight that is after
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: the heart of God. There is therefore now no condemnation
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: to them that are in Christ Jesus. Look at their position,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: not their condition. Not their condition, the condition might be
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: they're hungry, they might be homeless, they might be destitute,
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: they might be rich, they might be an intellectual, they
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: might speak in a multiplicity of languages like the Apostle
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Paul did, or they may speak only in a broken
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: language and barely be able to write. But if they
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: are in Christ Jesus, there is therefore now no condemnation
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: to them that are in Christ Jesus. Do you know
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: that you are in Christ Jesus? You are in Christ Jesus.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: If you don't know that, then the devil can do
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: whatever he wants to do. If you don't know that
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: your life is hid in Christ with God, then the
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: enemy can come in at will and say whatever he
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: wants to say to you because you don't know your position.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: We haven't taught enough about the position of the believer.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: The position... of the believer is made to sit in
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: heavenly places, in Christ Jesus. In him I live. In
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: him I move. In him I have my being. Hallelujah.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Glory to God. I am in him. That means, devil,
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: if you're going to get to me, you got to
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: go through him because I am in him. I am
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: in him right now. If I'm broke, I'm in him.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: If I'm happy, I'm in him. If I'm depressed, I'm
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: in him. If you hate me, I'm in him. If
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: you're talking about me, I'm in him. There is nothing
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: you can say about me that drives my position away
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: from God. You can't talk God out of taking me
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: in because I've been baptized into the body by the
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Holy Spirit. And even though you try to hoodoo me
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: and hex me and get a piece of my beard,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: you can't do me no harm because I'm in Christ Jesus.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: And your roots and your magic won't work because I
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: live in him. I move in him. And I have
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: my being in Christ Jesus. Y'all didn't hear what I said.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: I have my being in Christ Jesus. I be in Christ.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Because I'm in Christ, I can be. In him I
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: have my being. You can't take my being away from me.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: No matter how much you pray against me, no matter
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: how much you try to curse me, I've still got
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: my being because I have my being because I know
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: my position in Christ Jesus. We spend too much time
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: worried about our condition and not enough worried about our position.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus,
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: it's a law now. It's a law. For the law
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus had made
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: me free from the law of sin and death. It's
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: a law that if I'm in Christ, for what the
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: law could not do in that it was weak through
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: the flesh, God sending his own son in the likeness
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: of sinful flesh. Look at that. God sent his son
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: in the likeness of sinful flesh. You don't see that.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: There's a switch there because when God's made his first son, Adam,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: He made his first son, Adam, in the likeness of God.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: When he sends Jesus, he sends Jesus in the likeness
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: of flesh. of sinful flesh, just like Adam was created
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: in the likeness of God, Jesus is created in the
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: likeness of sin so that when he was on the cross,
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: God didn't see Jesus, he saw sin. He said, Eli, Eli,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: lama sabbathani, why have you forsaken me? Because he was
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: there in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: condemned sin in the flesh he did what you couldn't
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: do what you don't have enough willpower to do what
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: you don't have enough fight to do and for sin
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: he condemned sin in the flesh that the righteousness of
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: the law might be fulfilled in us oh God I'm
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: happy right now The righteousness of the law is fulfilled
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: in us. It's finished. It's settled. It's over. It's done.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: It's fulfilled in us. Not because of any good thing
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: I did. Not because of the day I worship on.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Not because I don't eat pork. Not because I don't
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: mix wool with cotton. It's all because of what he did,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: not what I did. That the righteousness of the law
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: might be fulfilled in us. filled full. I am filled
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: full with righteousness because of him who walked not after
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: the flesh, but after the spirit. I'm attracted to the spirit.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: I'm drawn to the spirit like a magnet to metal.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: It pulls at me. It yanks at me. It tugs
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: at me. If you anointed, I like you. If you're anointed,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: I got to like you. I don't even have to
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: know you to like you. If you start singing and
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: you anointed, I just like you. If you start preaching
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: and you anointed, I just like you because I'm after
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: the spirit. I'm drawn to your spirit. I'm not after you.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: I'm after the thing inside of you. I'm drawn to it.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: I'm attracted to it. You might not be beautiful. That
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: don't have nothing to do with it. He beautifies the
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: meek with salvation. And anytime you're saved, you are beautiful.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Look at somebody and say, I'm beautiful. For they that
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: But they that are after the spirit, the things of
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: the spirit. That's just how it is. If you are
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: of the spirit, you are after the spirit. If you
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: are of the flesh, you do mind the things of
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: the flesh. You talk about the flesh. You look at
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: the flesh. You imagine the flesh. You fantasize the flesh.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: You want the flesh. You're attracted to the flesh. But
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: if you are in the spirit, you are drawn to
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: the spirit. You are drawn to the spirit. You might
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: be scrolling through your phone and you get to one
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: scroll and they're singing a song. And it's so annoying.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: that you get happy and you stop there and start
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: playing it over and over and over again. It gets
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: on the kid's nerve because you're playing it over and
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: over again. They don't understand why you're doing it, but
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: you are after the Spirit of God. I want him
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: in my house. I want him in my car. I
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: want him in my living room. I want him in
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: my kitchen while I'm cutting up onions, while I'm peeling potatoes,
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: while I'm cutting up grapes. I want him everywhere I'm
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: attracted to him. I want him in my life. Anybody
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: here tonight because you're after the Spirit? For to be
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: carnally minded, the word carnal means to be meaty minded. Carn, carnality, carnivorous.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: The root word is meat. For to be carnally minded,
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: to be meaty minded is death. So the enemy wants
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: you to be meaty minded because it will always lead
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: to death. But to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: So if you are carnally minded and you switch and
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: start being spiritually minded, minded as a man thinketh in
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: his heart, so is he, you automatically get life and peace.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: You don't have to fake peace. You don't have to
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: chant for peace. You don't have to cry for peace.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: You don't have to yell for peace. If you get
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: spiritually minded, peace will just come over your soul. If
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: you start talking to yourself in spiritual words and making
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: melody in your heart to God, peace will come over
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: your soul. If you're nervous natured, and you start worshiping God,
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: peace will come over your soul. You don't hear what
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: I'm saying to you. You would rather spend $ 300 talking
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: to a therapist then listen at this word and I
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: can save you $ 300 right now tonight if you would
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: just get your mind centered on Christ and away from
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: all that crazy stuff. You could speak to your mother-in-law.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: You could be nice to your father-in-law. You could handle
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: a licking and keep on ticking because you are after
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: the things of the Spirit. Because the carnal mind is
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: an enmity against God. To be meaty-minded is an enmity
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: or at war against God, for it is not subject
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: to the law of God, neither indeed can be. There
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: is no way you can have a meaty mind and
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: be subject to the law of God. So then, they
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: that are in the flesh cannot please God. They can sing.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: They can sing, but they can't please God. They can preach,
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: but they can't please God. They can tithe, but they
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: can't please God. They can go to church, but they
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: can't please God. They can buck and dance, but they
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: can't please God. When you're after the flesh, you can't
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: please God. But ye, ye, ye, you are not in
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: the flesh. You're not in the flesh. but in the spirit.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: If so be that the spirit of God dwell in you,
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: if he hangs around you, if he just lay up
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: next to you, if he just hold you in the
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: middle of the night. If he just comforts you in
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: the store. Somebody might be listening at me in the hospital.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: You're not in the hospital bed by yourself. Jesus is
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: all around you. Oh, he's all around you. You are
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: not in the flesh but in the spirit. If so
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: be that the spirit of God dwell in you. Now
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: if any man have not the spirit of Christ, he
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: is none of his. If you don't have the spirit
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: of Christ, you are none of his. If you don't
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: have the insignia of Christ, you know what I mean
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: by insignia, like a family crest or a family sign.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: If you don't have the insignia of Christ, which is
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: the Holy Spirit, you are none of his. You are
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: sealed to the day of redemption. That means God put
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: his mark on you. God put his mark on you.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: He's not going to be confused about where you are
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: because you got the family sealed. You are sealed to
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: the day of redemption. You are sealed. My mother used
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: to make jelly and she would put a wax seal
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: on it and it would last for years and years
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: and years. That's why he keeps you. You are sealed
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: to the day of redemption. Hallelujah. And if Christ be
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: in you, the body is dead because of sin, but
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: the spirit is life. because of righteousness. But it's the
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: dwell in you. He that raised up Christ from the
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: dead shall also quicken or make alive your mortal body.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: You don't have to worry about it. You don't have
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: to try to do it. You don't have to try
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: to get up. The spirit is going to quicken your
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: mortal body by his spirit that dwelleth in you. Oh
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: my God, isn't that something? You don't have to put
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: on at all. It is there for you. Keep going. Therefore, brethren,
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: we are debtors not to the flesh to live after
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: the flesh. I don't owe the flesh nothing. I'm not
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: saying I always do right, but when I do wrong,
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: it's not because I owe a bill. I don't owe
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: the flesh nothing. I'm not in debt to sin. I'm
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: not in debt to Satan. He can't have me because
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: I don't owe him nothing. I don't owe him anything.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Glory to God, I can be free. I don't owe
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: cancer anything. I don't owe leukemia anything. I don't owe
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: diabetes anything. I might have to deal with it, but
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: it doesn't own me. It hasn't purchased me. I have
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: been bought with the price and the precious blood of Jesus.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: But if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: of the body, you shall live. If you through the
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, that means
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: you got to kill it. You got to be a murderer.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: You got to kill yourself. You got to kill your mouth.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: You got to kill what you wanted to say. The
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: other night, I was pacing the floor. I wanted to
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: call somebody so badly. I was pacing the floor. I
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: was itching because I'm the kind of person that if
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: I got something to say, I'm going to say it
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: to you. And I was pacing the floor and I
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: had to mortify my flesh. I had to kill it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: I had to take it and stab it. I had
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: to wound it and let it bleed out on the
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: floor to keep me from, I had to mortify the flesh.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: You cannot, if you resist the enemy, he will flee
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: from you. If you just resist, if you pull back,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: if you fight against it. I almost text somebody and said,
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: pray for me because I don't want to make this
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: phone call because I'll say the wrong thing because I
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: could feel the flesh pulling at me. For as many
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: as are led by the Spirit of God, they are
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: the sons of God. If you're led by the Spirit
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: of God, you are the sons of God. For ye
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: You have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: You didn't come over here to be a Christian and
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: be put back under the law. But you have received
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: the spirit of adoption. Glory to God. Adopted children have
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: something over born children. Born children, you just had them
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: because you're pregnant. Adopted children, you chose them. You picked
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: them out. They never have to wonder are they wanted
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Because you had an option not to adopt them. You
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: chose to adopt them. So because of Christ, you have
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: the spirit of adoption. You who were not a people
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: have been made a people. You have been grafted into
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: the family. You have become a part of the commonwealth
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: of Israel. According to Ephesians chapter 2, you don't have
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: to worry about the commonwealth of Israel. You don't have
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: to worry about the Jews being the chosen people because
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: you have been adopted You have been adopted into that
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: same opportunity to receive all that God has for you.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: He wanted you. You don't have to worry, are you accepted?
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: He picked you out. You are chosen in the beloved.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: You are picked out in the beloved. He brought you,
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: some of you, you're the only one in your family,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: but he adopted you. And you're different from everybody else.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: So don't worry about trying to fit in. Don't worry
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: about trying to get everybody like you. Don't worry about
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: them rolling their eyes at you. Take your potato salad
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: and go back home. Because you are in him. You
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: have been adopted into the royal family of Jesus Christ.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: If I'm an outcast to everybody else, I still belong
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: to God. If all the church folk turn against me,
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: I still belong to God. If it becomes unpopular to
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: like me, I still belong to God. Y'all don't hear,
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: I'm adopted. He picked me out. He looked through the
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: window and said, I want that one right there. He
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: picked me out before I was formed in my mama's belly.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: He chose me in him. He made me a prophet
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: before he made my mouth. Before He made my lips,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: before He made my eyes, before He made me to
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: move or think, He had already made me a prophet
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: unto the nation, and I belong to God. Even when
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: I don't want to, even when I want to turn
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: in the deal, even when I don't want to be kept,
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: I still belong to God. No matter how far I
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: get away from Him, I end up running back to
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Him because I'm attracted to Him. And I can't break
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: the attraction. I can feel him pulling at me. His
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: spirit strives with me. It yanks at me. Every time
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: I fall into sin, it yanks till it pulls me out.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: It pulls me out because I belong to him. Is
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: there anybody else adopted in here? The spirit itself bears
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: And wait, wait, stay right there. I got to stay
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: there for a minute. The spirit itself beareth witness with
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: our spirit that we are the children of God. That's
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: so good. This is important because it's going to be
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: where I'm going tonight. The spirit of God talks to
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: the spirit of man. You are a spirit. You have
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: a soul. You live in a body. So the spirit
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: of God beareth witness with our spirit that we are
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: the children of God. You don't have to run around
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: asking the prophet, am I saved? Because the spirit of
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: God talks to your spirit and tells you you are saved.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: The spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: are in fact the children of God. We might not
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: look like him. We might not have ways like him.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: We may not bear all the fruit of the spirit,
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: But the Spirit itself is saying, don't worry about that.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: I'm going to fix that in time. You are the
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: children of God. If I sat down right now, I've
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: already preached. I've already taught. I've already said enough. If
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: you didn't get anything but that right there, it's going
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: to take you eight years to live out what I
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: already said. And you're sitting up here waiting on some more.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: And I've already given you more than you can handle
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: right now. If you just get that in your head.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: If you ever get to the place that the Spirit
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: of God is having a conversation with your spirit, it'll
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: change your attitude. It'll break down your will. It'll melt
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: your candle like wax. It'll make you say yes when
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: you wanted to say no. It'll make you say I'm
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: sorry when you wanted to go off. The Spirit itself
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: bears witness with our spirit that we are the children
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: of God. Somebody shout I'm a child of the King.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: If you're watching online, write it on the line. I'm
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: a child of the king. Write it till the devil
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: knows it. I'm a child of the king. How do
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: you know it? Because the spirit told me so. The
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: spirit talked to my spirit and told me I was
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: a child of God. I need no other witness. The
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: trial is over. The case is closed. There is therefore
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: now no condemnation. I have called my last witness. The
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: prosecution rests. The prosecution rests. The trial is over. I've
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: called my last witness. The case is over. It's ended.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: Throw it out of court, judge, because the spirit itself
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: has bore witness that I am a child of God
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: we don't need the jury we don't need the butcher
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: the baker the candlestick maker I brought such a strong
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: witness to the witness stand that I am a child
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: of the king y'all don't hear me but I'm talking
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: some stuff tonight I'm talking some powerful stuff. I'm a
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: child of the King. I'm a child of the King.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: I can walk through witches and they can't do me
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: no harm. I can walk through hell and always come out.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: I can go through depression and rise up above it
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: because I am a child of God. I might not
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: feel good, but I am still a child of God.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: I might not feel like I'm Ernest Jake's son, but
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: I am still Ernest Jake's son whether I feel like
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: it or not. My father is dead, but I'm still
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: his son. He cannot unsun me. If I died, he
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: could not unsun me. Once you make a son, you
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: can't not break him and make him not a son.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: I will forever be a son of God. Go talk
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: to me, somebody. Amen. Them kids might make you want
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: to unsun them, unfellowship them, but you can't do it
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: because once you have procreated, they're going to always be yours.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: If they drunk, they're going to be yours. If they lying,
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: they're going to be yours. If they're a whoremonger, they're
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: going to be yours. You cannot unsun what God has sung.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: In the hog pen, he was his father's son. On
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: the way home, he was his father's son. When he
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: got back to the house, he was his father's son.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: He was always his son. If I, God forbid, but
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: if I lose a child, then it will always be
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: my son. In the grave, it'll be my son. Life
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: nor death nor principalities nor powers nor things present, nor
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: things to come, or any other living creature can separate
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: me from the love of God. I am his son.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: You can run, but you can't get away. You can
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: get high, but you can't get away. You can fornicate,
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: but you can't get away. You can get on the
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: pole and dance, but you can't get away. Because the
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: moment the Spirit starts talking to you, you know his voice.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: He said, my sheep know my voice. And a stranger
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: they will not follow. I am a child of the king.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: I wish we'd sing the old songs just sometimes. Just
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: sing them every now and then. Like I am a
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: child of the king. We used to sing those kinds
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: of songs that reminded you who you were. Even when
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: you were sick, it boasted about who you were. I
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: must tell Jesus. I must tell Jesus. I cannot bear
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: these burdens alone. In my distress, I know he will
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: hear me. I cannot tell it. I cannot deal with it.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: I cannot stand it. I cannot handle it without Jesus.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: Are you with me? Clap your hands if you're with me.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: Now wait, if you ate that much... If you ate
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: that much and we are now settled that you are
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: the children of God, then he progresses and says, and
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: if children, then heirs. Oh, my God. See, you was
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: getting happy because you was a child. You was getting
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: happy without benefits. You was getting happy without an inheritance.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: You was getting happy without a will. But the Bible said,
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: if you are children, if you can eat that much,
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: then let me feed you some more. Open your mouth,
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: get another bite. Now you're an heir of God. You're
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: an heir of his nature. You're an heir of his grace.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: You're an heir of the king. You don't have to
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: try to be rich. You're already rich. Hallelujah. It may
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: not manifest yet, but it's got to come because you're
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: a child of the king. And since you're a child,
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: you're an heir of God. God has an inheritance for you.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: God has an inheritance for you. Do you hear me?
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: God has an inheritance for you. Eyes have not seen.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: Ears have not heard. Neither have entered into the heart
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: of man the things that God has in store for
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: them that love him. My kids have an inheritance that
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: they have not seen. They didn't go to court with us.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: They didn't go to the lawyer's office with us. They
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: didn't have to sign for it, but I've already left
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: them an inheritance. They didn't deserve it. They don't have
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: to earn it. They don't have to work for it.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: They got it because of my child. If you are
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: a child, then you are an heir. You're an heir
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: of salvation, purchase of God, born of his spirit, washed
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: in his blood. This is my story. Oh, you're going
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: to hear me. This is my song, praising my Savior
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: all the day long. So you got to get that.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: If you got the sonship, now you get the heirship.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: Wait a minute. And heirs of God and joint heirs
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: with Christ. That means whatever Christ got, I got it too.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: If Christ went to heaven, I'm going to heaven too.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: I'm joint heirs. We're tied together. We're Siamese twins. We're
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: joined together at the hip. Wherever he goes, I go
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: with him. If there's no poverty in him, there cannot
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: be no poverty in me. If there's no schizophrenia in him,
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: There's no schizophrenia in me. If there's no pain in him,
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: there has to be no pain in me. I'm joint
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: heirs with Jesus Christ. All I got to do is
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: receive it. Receive it. Receive it. Receive it. It's there.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: It's in the spirit. It's not in your murmuring. It's
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: not in your complaining. It's not in your fussing. It's
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: not in Netflix. It's not an HBO. It's not an ABC, NBC,
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: or CBS. Sometimes you got to cut off all them
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: alphabets and lay on your face before God and remind
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: yourself that you are joint heirs with Jesus Christ. Oh
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: my God, I feel something. I feel something about to
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: take over this place. If so be that we suffer
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: with him, that we may be also glorified together. Now,
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: that's the first time He used the word suffer. Go
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: back to that. That's the first time he used the
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: word suffer. Go back to 17. And if Christ has
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: been heirs, heirs of God, joint heirs of Christ, if
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: so be that we suffer with him, that we may
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: be also glorified together. See, if you're a joint heir
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: with Christ, Christ was beaten. Christ was whipped. Christ was
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: nailed to a cross. Christ was stripped of his clothes.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: Christ was buried in a tomb. Christ went through something.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: And every now and then you're going to go through something.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: It's not popular to teach that anymore. Because people just
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: want magic numbers and magic blessings. They want quick prophecies.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: I see in the spirit. You can just get on
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: your phone and see prophet after prophet. AI generated prophets
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: telling you, you're going to hit the lottery this week.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: And I need you to just punch the heart right
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: now and write on the line, I will win. And
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: you're going to hit the lottery tonight. You can play
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: with them witches all you want to. All you want to.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: All them generated witches. There's somebody in your life that
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: doesn't like you. It's a woman. And I'm going to
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: give you their initials in a minute. If you hit
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: the button right here. and go to WhatsApp, the fifth
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: person has the initial of the name, and there you
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: are consulting the witch at the inn door when you
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: got the Holy Ghost down inside of you. I would
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: consult her, but I'm too scared of God. We were
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: talking about losing the fear of God. I'm too scared
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: of God. I don't want God to see me. If
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: I get curious, I look up and think, no, I
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: better not do that. No, I better not try that.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: I better not try that. You're going to receive, you'll
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: be a millionaire by the end of the year. I said,
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: I'm already a billionaire. I'm a millionaire. I'm a millionaire. Hallelujah.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: My father is a millionaire. I'm wealthy. Y'all can't take it.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: Come on, y'all can't take it. Y'all can't take it.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: Y'all don't have the audacity to look the devil in
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: the face and say I'm a millionaire. That's why you
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: ain't got no money. You got to be able to
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: say it to be able to see it. If you
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: can't say it, you can't see it. If you can't
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: say it, you can't receive it. If your mind had
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: matured to the point that you only believe it when
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: you see it, then blessed are they who have not seen,
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: but yet they believe. Slap somebody and say, you sitting
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: by a millionaire. That we suffer with him that we
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Oh,
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: that I may know him in the fellowship of his suffering.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: Because if I know him in the fellowship of his suffering,
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: I shall also know him in the power of his resurrection.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: Some of you are holding out for the power of
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: the resurrection, but how do you think you're going to
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: be resurrected if you ain't been crucified? There's no way
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: to resurrect somebody that ain't died. You got to be
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: in a fellowship with his suffering that you might know
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: him in the power of his resurrection. Sometimes God takes
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: you through stuff just to show you he can get
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: you out of stuff. He took Israel through the wilderness
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: to show them that he could be water, he could
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: be bread, he could be food, he could be life,
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: he could be power. He couldn't show them that as
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: long as Pharaoh was feeding them. He had to break
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: the grip of Pharaoh and put them in a dry place.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: Where they couldn't feed themselves. So he could show off
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: and tell them who he really is. All God is
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: doing with you is creating a place for you to
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: have a testimony. Taking you through something so you'll come
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: out better. Not just preaching the word, but being the word.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: The word becoming a part of your life. you suffer
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: with him, you'll reign with him. When you stomp your foot,
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: devils are gonna run. When you open your mouth, hell
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: is gonna get nervous. When the word becomes made flesh,
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: that's what brings about salvation. You can have all the degrees,
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: you can have more theology than a thermometer, but if
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: you don't have an experience with him, you will never
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: know him in the power of his resurrection. Until you
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: have balled up in a knot and cried like a baby,
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: until you have wilted of all you thought you couldn't
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: stand and couldn't take, you will never know him in
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: the power of his resurrection. But to those of us
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: that have been to hell and back... There are certain
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: things we know about God, and you can't take it
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: away from us. We know it about God. We've been
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: down low enough to blow our brains out, and God
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: brought us back from the dead, and we know of
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: a surety that God is God. I know you can't
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: act like you know what I'm talking about because you're
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: too churchy for that, but you know you're those of
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: us that have been at the end of our rope
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: and felt like throwing in the towel, and all of
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: a sudden God said something that sustain you. I don't
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: have to beg you for a praise. I don't have
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: to beg you for a hallelujah. I don't have to
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: convince you that God is God. You've been through enough
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: hell that you know God is God. You still got
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: track marks in your heart. You've still been through hell.
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: Y'all don't hear what I'm saying. You were shooting dope
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: in your toenails. You were shooting dope under your skin.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: You were drunk in the morning and drunk at night.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: And God sobered you up and set you free. You've
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: done enough stuff that you ought to be in jail
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: right now. You ought to be locked up in a
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: cell right now. And there you are fussing about your
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: car running. You ought to be so glad that you're free.
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: You ought to be so glad that you're here. You
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: ought to be so glad that you're alive. You ought
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: to be ashamed of yourself, complaining about anything. Do you
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: know where you were headed when God snapped you out
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: of the fire? Glory to God, I feel something in
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: this place. Somebody take 30 seconds and start praising God.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: Now I'm ready for my text. Sit down. Whoo! My God.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: My God. My God. I love school, but school didn't
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: do this. I love education, but education didn't do this.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: Going through hell did this. Going through fire did this.
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: Burying loved ones did this. Dealing with pain did this.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: Going without food did this. Having my lights off did this.
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: Having my water cut off did this. If you ain't
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: been through none of that stuff, you don't really know
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: what I'm talking about. You can say my words, but
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: you won't have my power because the word hadn't been
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: proven in you. But once the word is proven in you...
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: You know that you know that you know that you
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: know it. I don't care how you can hoop until
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: you have been in the fire and been tried. You're
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: not going to have no power. You got a beautiful
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: voice with not a bit of power. Power comes through
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: knowing him in the fellowship of his suffering and the
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: power of his resurrection. Shout yes, somebody. Shout yes, somebody.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: Shout yes, somebody. Shout yes, somebody. So this is where
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: it gets good, and this is where I was Sunday.
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: So we're walking out. This is where I was Sunday. See,
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: I had to build that case to really make 18
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: pop because I wanted to prove, Paul says, for I reckon.
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: Just stop right there, for I reckon. The word reckon
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: in the original Greek language means to have come to
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: a conclusion after deciphering and looking at life for a while. Yeah,
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: I reckon. The broad definition, to reckon means to think,
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: to reason, to conclude upon careful consideration or to account
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: something as true after weighing evidence. Let's weigh the evidence.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: Put it back up there again. She's trying to take
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: a picture of it. Put it back up there again.
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: I saw you. I know what's going on. Yeah, let
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: her get a picture so you sound like a scholar.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: And so I reckon I come to a conclusion. Let's see. Paul,
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: have you been in jail? Many times. Paul, have you
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: been beaten? almost to death. Paul, have you been stoned?
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: They threw rocks at me. They left me laying for dead.
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: They laughed at me and laughed at my wisdom. And
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: as proud as I was of my intellect, they called
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: me a fool. And all of the intellectuals of the
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: day insulted him. And I think that the pain of
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: Lystra hurt him worse than the stones that they threw.
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: He said, I had to go through it and look
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: back at it and add it up. Reckon is an
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: accounting term. It means to account for, to add it
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: all up. He said, when I got through adding it
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: all up, I reckon that the sufferings of this present world,
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: take me back to my scripture, I reckon that the
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared. Now,
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: this is reminiscent of Paul's day. They weighed everything by
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: scales to determine worth. The heavier the scales went down,
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: the more weight it was. So if you put certain
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: things on it and it went up, it didn't have
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: much weight. So he said, when I put the suffering
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: on the scale, it went up. When I put the
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: glory on the scale, it fell down. So when I
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: stand back and look at it, the greater weight is
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: on the glory than it is on the suffering. So
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: he said, I reckon that the sufferings of this present world,
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: this present time, this present, oh my God. Oh my God,
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: somebody holler this present time. He said, what I'm going
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: through right now What I'm going through right now is
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: not worthy to be compared to the glory which shall
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: be revealed. I put it on the scale. I thought
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: about it. I weighed it out. I did some accounting.
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: I did some figuring. Whenever you went to the market
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: in Paul's day, there was always a scale. The scale
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: will tell you the weight of glory. That's why the
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: Bible says in the Greek it's doxa, the weight of glory.
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: Glory has weight to it. Trouble don't have no weight
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: to it. It might have pain, but it don't have
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: no weight to it. But when you hit it with glory,
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: glory will make the scales tip over. Glory will make
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: you drop down on your knees. Glory will make an
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: old lady run. Glory gets in your feet. Glory gets
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: in your spirit. Glory got weight to it. It's got
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: power to it. It's got force to it. It's got
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: fight to it. I wish I was preaching to some
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: folks that had some glory. I came up in a
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: storefront church where they had glory. They didn't have all
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: these fancy pews. They didn't have no fancy windows, but
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: they had glory. There's something about glory that when you
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: put the glory on the scales, the suffering always comes up.
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: If you want your suffering to come up, put glory
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: on the scales. I guarantee you, if you're feeling bad,
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: and some of y'all came in here feeling bad, I
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: could tell. But the more we praise God, the more
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: the suffering went up and the glory came down. You
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: need those scales operating in your life. For I reckon
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: that the sufferings of this present time, I'm not even
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: dealing with the past. I'm dealing with the hell you're
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: going through right now. The sufferings of this present time.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: is not worthy to be compared to the glory. It's
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: not just that it outweighs it. It's not even worthy
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: to be compared. It's one thing to outweigh it. It's
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: not even worthy to be on the scales to the
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: glory that shall be revealed in us. If you gonna
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: ever have any glory, you gonna have some suffering. If
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: you gonna ever have any power, you gonna have some suffering.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: If you gonna ever chase a demon out of room,
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: you gonna have some suffering. And the glory is not
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: worthy to be compared. It ought not even be in
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: the same sentence. Because you have suffered for it. You
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: won't give it up easy. You know things, you get easy,
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: you give up easy. That's why I don't believe in
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: giving folks a whole bunch of money, because you give
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: them a whole bunch of money, they spend it like
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: it ain't nothing. But when it's their money, and they
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: had to work for it, and they had to sweat
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: for it, and they had to labor for it, they
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: get the calculator out, they be counting up pennies, and
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: with taxes it'll be that much. And if I don't
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: get this one, maybe I'll get that one. All of
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: a sudden, everything changes. Value is added through suffering. You
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: give your kids everything. They spend it like it ain't nothing.
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: I don't blame them. They didn't do nothing to get it.
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: But if you had to suffer... eight hours and 10
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: hour shifts for weeks at a time and you finally
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: get that check, you're not just gonna throw it away
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: just any kind of way because suffering equates with value.
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: It makes it have more weight because you earned it.
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: I ain't giving it to you. I said no. Good
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: luck to you. I'm praying for you. I'll give you
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: a little bit, but I'm praying for you. You're gonna
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: have to get out there and get your hands dirty
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: and earn it. You have to earn it. When you
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: have earned this glory, you don't let nobody roll their
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: eyes at you and take it away. These are the
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: weakest Christians I have ever seen in my life. And
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: it starts at the pulpit and it goes to the door.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: We've had pastors meet, all the pastors talking about who
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: left my church They left my church. They walked out
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: on me after I paid their rent. They're supposed to.
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: They're supposed to. God didn't promise you you would reap
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: where you sowed. God didn't promise to be fair. He
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: promised to be just. There's a difference between fair and
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: being just. And you're fussing, fussing, fussing about suffering. I
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: got all kinds of questions about suffering because suffering is
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: a strange word in this present time. And it's Pulpit's fault.
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: You don't realize it, but back in the 90s, we
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: were talking about naming and claiming. Confess it. Walk around it.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: Call it yours. Speak it into existence. We made it
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: sound like all you had to do was walk around
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: and walk around and walk around. You're going to have
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: that house. You might have that house, but you're going
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: to have them pavements. Uh-huh, uh-huh. We didn't tell you
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: about the pavements. So you walked around a house you
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: couldn't pay for. And then when the pavements came, you
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: couldn't stay in the house because everything has to be
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: paid for. You have to suffer something. And when you
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: suffer something and somebody try to take it from you,
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: you will knock their head right off their shoulder. You'll
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: knock it off their shoulder. Because I don't have the
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: strength to go through that again. You are not going
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: to do that to me. I ain't going to go
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: but so low. I'm telling you right now, I'm not
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: going but so low. I paid too much. I cried
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: too long. I suffered too hard. I ain't going but
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: so low. We'll go to court. We'll go underground. We'll
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: get into a dogfight. I'll turn a pit bull loose
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: on you. You ain't getting this. I went through too
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: much to get it. Is there anybody out there that
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: paid a price for what you got? You pay enough
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: for a car, you'll wax it. You won't let nobody
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: run no cart into your car and say, excuse me,
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: excuse me, nothing. You hit my car, are you out
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: of your mind? Are you crazy? Do you know what
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: I pay in insurance for that car? Do you know
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: what I pay for inspection for that car? Do you
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: know what I pay for that car? Do you know
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: what I pay every month for that car? And you
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: let an empty buggy run into my car and scratch
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: it all the way down the side and you think
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: it's funny? You better hope the Holy Ghost grab me
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: because if the Holy Ghost don't grab me, I'm going
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: to grab you because I went through something. Come on,
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: talk to me. I went through something. I went through
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: something to get this joy that I had. The world
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: didn't give it to me and the world can't take
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: it away. Oh, you can't take it away. I'm not
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: going to just let you take it away. I'm not
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: just going to go home and let you take it away. No, no, no.
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to let you take it away. I'm
• 54:57
  Speaker 4: not going to let you take it away. I don't
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: care if the gun is in my mouth. I'm going
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: to pull it out. I'm not going to let you
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: take it away. It's not worthy to be compared to
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: the glory that shall be revealed in us. You have
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: lost your shell. Your shell. Suffering is a word that
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: means pathema in Greek. Pathema. The root word, apasho, is
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: to feel, to experience, to undergo, to be affected. Now,
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: let me tell you what suffering is today. For us,
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: suffering is not having no money. Because we're raised in
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: a capitalist society and all of the comments are coming
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: in about cash. Because we think if we got enough money,
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: we got joy. That ain't true. The broader definition of
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: apathema is refers to anything a person experiences that brings pain.
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: You're going to experience some things that bring pain, hardship, passion,
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: or emotion. Physical pain, emotional pain, spiritual struggle, unjust treatment.
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: It ain't going to be right. It ain't going to
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: be fair. And you cannot wait on them to make
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: it right Because then they become your God. Some things
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: are never going to be settled. And you got to
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: be at peace with the fact that it's just not
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: going to be settled. You're just going to have to
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: hurt so that it don't hurt anymore. You're just going
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: to have to deal with it. Inner distress that comes
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: from living in a fallen world is suffering. Nothing bad
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: has to happen for you to suffer. There's a deeper
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: nuance to it to understand that pathema takes it to
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: another level. It doesn't just mean physical affliction. It means
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: anything that happens to you, good or bad, that you
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: undergo rather than choose. I didn't choose this. This ain't fair.
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: I don't deserve this. This is not right. This hurts.
• 57:22
  Speaker 4: This hurts after you leave. This hurts in the middle
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: of the night. Have you ever noticed that pain gets
• 57:28
  Speaker 4: worse at night? How many people know that pain gets
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: worse at night? You can have a cold all day
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: and it's kind of okay. You're doing pretty good. The
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: later it gets at night, the worse it gets. Mucus
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: comes from everywhere. Mucus flies in on planes. It comes
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: in on helicopters. You can't breathe, think, or talk. It
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: is thick as mashed potatoes and gravy. And there you
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: are in a terrible shape just because it's night. Suffering
• 58:02
  Speaker 4: gets worse at night. There's no light. Afflictions. Heartbreak, trauma,
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: adversity gets worse at night. So the smart Christian tries
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: to drag the suffering into the glory where there's light.
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: Because if you can drag the suffering into the light,
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: it won't feel as bad because it's lit up. But
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: if you let that suffering get in that cave with you, Elijah,
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: you will lose your calling and have to anoint somebody
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: else because you won't be able to continue just because
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: you are experiencing Jezebel's threat in a cave. My God,
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: I think I'll buy this tape myself. I need it
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: on repeat. At night. And somebody in this room has
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: had a long night. You had a long night. And
• 59:21
  Speaker 4: it is the sufferings of this present time. It's not
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: the sufferings of when you was 18. That's not the
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: only thing. You made it past eight. You made it
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: to 38. But the sufferings of this present time, the
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: depth of it, the intensity of it, how much it
• 59:49
  Speaker 4: costs you to keep going. Can we talk for a minute?
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: I'm going to come down here where I can look
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: in your face. I want to talk to you for
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: a minute. I want to come. come down here and
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 4: talk to you for a minute. Can we talk about
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: the things that you press over? That you smile over?
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: That you hide? That you deal with? Not that you're
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: trying to hide it because you're sneaky. It's just that
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: they can't do nothing about it, no way. And it
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: ain't none of their business. And so your suffering is private.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: Your suffering is personal. Your suffering is intense and And
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: your suffering is lonely. And when your suffering gets lonely,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: you want company. Can we be real? When your suffering
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: gets lonely, you want company because you're wanting comfort. Must
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 4: Jesus bear the cross alone and all the world go free?
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: There's not a person in this room that hadn't had
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: night pain. Night pain. In the morning, you get up,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: dress up, wash up, put your deodorant on, brush your teeth,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: do your hair, put your cologne on, wear your makeup
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: if you're a woman. You come on out looking good.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 4: That makeup is hiding suffering. In this present time, there
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: will be suffering And you want comfort. Sure we want comfort.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: Of course we want comfort. I don't know about you,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: but I want comfort. I want comfort. I don't buy
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 4: a chair that's not comfortable. I buy a chair I
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: can fall asleep in. I want it to be comfortable.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: But life is not promised to be comfortable. So Paul's
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: theology has suffering in it. Because it is part of
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: the oil of the apothecary. Write that down. It is
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: part of the oil of the apothecary. A-P-O-T-H-E-C-A-R-Y. Apothecary. It
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: is part of the oil of the apothecary. That is
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: to say, this oil is made from roots that has
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: been in dark places underground. You can't have the kind
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: of aromatic anointing, the kind of anointing that changes the
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 4: atmosphere in a room. Let me tell you, the woman
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 4: with the alabaster box, that anointing that got loose in
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: that room could be smelt over the whole room. All
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: the disciples knew that she had broken her box. Because
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: this kind of anointing comes from deep stuff. Buried stuff.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: Roots are things that grow in the dark. Hallelujah. You
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: want a double portion of my spirit? Go through my hell.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: Go through my hell. Go through my hell. Go through
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: my hell. You're not going to get it just by
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: me laying hands on you. Until you go through my hell.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: Until you press your way over everything that you can imagine.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: I won't even start listing. That anointing costs you something.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: And it's thick. And the aroma of it is so
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: strong that you can spill it over there and smell
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: it over there. It's not like the olive oil we
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 4: buy in the store. That don't even have no smell
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: to it. The oil that they used in the Bible
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 4: days was the oil of the apothecary and it was
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: made from the roots because the roots grew in the dark.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: Real anointed grows in the dark. Notice I said grows.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: You're not going to get this quick. This is not
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: going to be instant grits. This is not something that
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 4: God's going to give you to make your ministry great
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: so you can be famous and get lots of dates. No.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: This is something that God's going to give you after
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: you have suffered a while. To weed out all of
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: the pretenders. It's how God strains his oil. With time.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: If you can endure hardness as a good soldier. If
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: you can go when you don't want to go. If
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: you can stand when you want to quit. If you
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: can keep moving forward when all hell is breaking loose.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: If you can withstand the wiles of the devil. If
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 4: you can walk in rooms where everybody's talking about you
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: and take a seat and sit down and eat your
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 4: dinner right in front of them and smile and belch
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 4: and pay the bill and walk out That kind of
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 4: anointing comes from that. That kind of anointing begs for companionship.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 4: Jesus cried on the cross, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani, my God,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: my God, why has thou forsaken me? His mama couldn't
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: reach him. The woman at the well couldn't reach him.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: His disciples were nowhere to be seen. Because when God
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: gets ready to produce this kind of oil, you go
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: through it alone. I don't know why the Lord's got
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: me going down this line. Roots grow in the ground
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: where there is no light. And you can't see your
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: way out. You can't see your way out. You're watching online.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: You can't see your way out. It's dark. Everything's wrong.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: Before you can fix this, that goes wrong. Before you
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: can fix that, this goes wrong. This one gets sick.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: This one dies. This one walks out and leaves you.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: Got more bills than you got money. Back just went out.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: Trouble's coming from every direction. Kids got pregnant. Trouble is everywhere.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: This kind of anointing grows in the dark. You pick
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: up your phone to call somebody and then you ask
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: yourself why. How many people have ever asked yourself why?
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 4: I have had to put my phone down and say
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: it ain't going to make no difference. Amen. It ain't
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: gonna make no difference. It's not that people don't like you,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: they don't love you, but at the end of the day,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: you got to bear this cross by yourself. Roots grow
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: in the dark and they are strained by time after
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 4: you have suffered a while. In due season, if you
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 4: faint not, Y'all not listening at the word. If you
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 4: don't faint, if you don't give up in the day
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 4: of your adversity, if you keep on going whether you
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: feel like keeping on going or not, if you stand
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 4: the test of time, God said, I'll do things in
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: you that'll leave people with their mouth hanging open. If
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 4: you stand the test of time, God said, I'm not
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 4: just looking at your suffering, I'm watching my watch I'm
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: watching to see, can you praise me with a broken heart?
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: Can you preach when there is no crowd there? If
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 4: all of y'all get up and walk out of this room,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 4: it will not stop my flow. I can flow by myself.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 4: I was trained by myself. I don't have to have
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 4: an amen or a hallelujah or a thank you Jesus.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: I grew up preaching in empty churches. I know how
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: to preach with no organ. I know how to slap
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: my leg and keep on preaching and keep on getting up.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: I know how to do it by myself because he
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 4: trained me in dark places. He trained you with no husband.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: He trained you when your check got swallowed up by
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: your rent. He trained you when you couldn't have simple things.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: He trained you at a time in your life that
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 4: people are talking about stuff that you don't even know
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 4: what they're talking about because you can't afford it. Come on, somebody.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 4: And God says, if you be faithful, if you be faithful,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 4: I will give you the crown of life. I will
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: give you the crown of life. So you have to
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: suffer And if you are not willing to go through
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 4: that kind of suffering, then you can't receive that kind
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 4: of glory. Paul says, when he puts it all together,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 4: he says, after reasoning carefully, I have concluded with conviction
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: that all painful experiences, hardships and trials of this temporary
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 4: life are insignificant. when measured against the incomparable splendor and
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 4: divine glory that will one day be unveiled in us.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 4: I'm living to live again. So when you start talking
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 4: about reframing it, this is a mind thing. Reckon is
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: about thinking. It's about reasoning. It's about calculation. It's about
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 4: coming to conclusion. It's about what you value. What do
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: you value? What do you value? What do you value?
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 4: Is it worth it to you to have his favor
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 4: and his presence? Or do you want something quick? Take
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 4: me back to the 18th verse and I'm going to stop.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 4: For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: are not worthy to be compared with the glory which
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 4: shall be. Revealed in us. Give me the next verse. 19.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: Did I give you 19? Yeah. For the earnest expectation.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: That's hope right there. For the earnest expectation of the
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: creature waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 4: The whole earth is waiting for you to come through this.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 4: When you come through this and you manifest yourself after
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: you suffered a while, after you've been strained, after you've
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 4: been scraped, after you've been purified, after you've been through
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 4: the fire, everything in your life is going to change.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 4: Everything in your life is going to change. The whole
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 4: creation is waiting on the manifestation of what God is
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: doing in you. This is bigger than you. This is
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 4: not about you. This is about all the people you're
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 4: going to touch and all the worlds that are going
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 4: to be changed and all the people that are going
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 4: to be strengthened. That's why it's not worthy to be
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 4: compared to how you feel. And you are living in
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 4: a world where all they talk about is how they
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 4: feel about it. God doesn't care how you feel about it.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 4: He doesn't care how you feel about it. When he
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: gives her, I can see myself now trying to tell mom,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 4: I don't feel like going through no whooping. That wouldn't
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 4: have worked in my day. Now today that stuff works.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 4: They come in, your children come in and talk about
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 4: their feelings. You hurt my feelings and you disrespected my
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 4: privacy and you came in my room and I don't
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: like it when you talk to me like that. And
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 4: I just feel some kind of way. We didn't even
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: have that word, I feel some kind of way. That
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 4: wasn't in our vocabulary. Mama would have knocked all the
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 4: teeth out of my mouth. I'd have been running around
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: with gums in my head, talking about I feel some
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 4: kind of way. Mama said, I don't care how you feel.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 4: I don't care how you feel. I knocked the taste
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 4: out of your mouth. If you don't get up them steps, See,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 4: we are so used to living in our feelings and,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 4: I'm going to make you mad now, manipulating people with
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: our feelings. Because you know if you start crying, he's
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: going to take you where you want to go. You
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 4: know if you start crying, you're going to get that
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 4: extra $ 100 bill. You know if you start crying, they're
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 4: going to jerk you out of that class and move
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 4: you around. And all they're doing is making spoiled children.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 4: And they don't teach you to endure anything. You have
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 4: to endure some things. And when you endure some things,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 4: they begin to happen. For I reckon that the sufferings
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 4: of this present time are not worthy to be compared
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 4: with the glory which shall be revealed unto us. Give
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 4: me 19. Come on, give me 19. For the earnest
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: expectation of the creature waited for the manifestation of the
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 4: Son of God. Keep going. For the creature was made
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 4: subject to vanity. He was made subject to go through emptiness.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 4: He was made subject. God put you in a place
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 4: that hurt. not willingly, but by reason of him who
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 4: has subjected the same in hope. He put you in
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 4: it in the hopes that he could make something out
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: of you. Can I go deeper? Oh, I feel like
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 4: I'm opening up something. I feel like I'm opening up
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 4: something that God wants to open it up and air
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 4: it out and get that bacteria and that infection out.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: that infection that's been down in you, that anger, that guilt,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: that frustration, that pain, that emptiness has got to come out.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: And I got to squeeze on it like it's a
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: pimple until it bursts. And when it bursts in this room,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 4: that yoke is going to break. That door is going
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 4: to open. That blessing is going to flow. Hallelujah. I
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: know it hurts because I'm putting pressure on a place
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: that's uncomfortable for you, but I got to get that
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: poison out. I can't leave you with that infection growing
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 4: on your arm and growing on your hand and growing
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 4: on your back. No, we got to press it. You
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 4: got to press it. Paul said, I was pressed above
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: measure and beyond strength so much so that I despaired
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: of life itself. Because let me go on verse 21,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 4: because the creature itself also shall be delivered. from the
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth,
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 4: there's that word again, groaneth and prevaileth in pain together, together, together, together.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 4: You ain't the only one. You think you're the only one?
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 4: If you get up and start talking your deepest, darkest secret,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 4: your deepest pain, your deepest heartache, your deepest disappointment, your
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 4: deepest shame, somebody in this room is going to connect
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 4: with you because we are going through this together. Together.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 4: Fellowship of his suffering. Fellowship of his suffering. For we
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 4: know that the whole creation groaneth, and travaileth in pain
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 4: together until now. And not only they, but we ourselves also,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 4: which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 4: ourselves grown within ourselves. That's the difference between church folks
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 4: and the world. We grown within ourselves. We don't want
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 4: nobody to see it. We grown within ourselves. We hope
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 4: for a word that will ease our pain. And then
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 4: when it comes, we act like it's not talking to us.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 4: We groan within ourselves, which have the first fruits of
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 4: the spirit. We have the first fruits of the spirit
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 4: that don't stop the groaning. So you got on one hand,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 4: you got the first fruits of the spirit But on
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 4: the other hand, you got the groaning at the same time.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: At the same, y'all don't hear me, y'all don't hear me. Lord,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 4: help them to hear me. You have both of them
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 4: at the same time. It's the best of times. and
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 4: the worst of times. You're happy, but you're sad. You're glad,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 4: but you're disappointed. You can see the blessing of the Lord,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 4: but you can see where all hell is breaking loose
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: over here. In the same life, at the same time,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 4: Anybody hear the words that are coming out of my mouth?
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 4: But ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 4: even we ourselves groan within ourselves. Now, the groaning within,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 4: I ain't got time to get into it. I'm running
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 4: out of time. The groaning within. The secret groaning within
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 4: comes with experience. Because people will teach you That groaning
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 4: out don't help. So what they do is they drive
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 4: the pain in. And you groan within ourselves. Waiting for
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 4: the adoption to win. The redemption of our body. Come on,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 4: give me some. For we are saved by hope. But
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 4: hope that is seen is not hope. For what a
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 4: man seeth, why doth he yet hope for it? Come on.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 4: But if we hope for that we see not, then
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 4: do we with patience wait for it? See, this is
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 4: how he purges you. This is how he fixes you.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 4: In the waiting for what you hope for, he purges
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 4: the desires of your heart. He changes what you need.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 4: He changes what you desire. He changes what you value.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 4: And he didn't answer you when you threw your temper
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 4: tantrum because God is not excited about how you feel.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: I feel some kind of way. Likewise, the spirit also
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 4: help with our infirmities. For we know not what we
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 4: should pray for as we are. I'm scared to ask
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: him for stuff Because I have asked him for stuff
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 4: that almost killed me. How many people can admit it?
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 4: I have asked him for stuff that wrecked my life,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 4: that broke my heart, that drove me crazy, that had
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 4: me up at 3 o'clock in the morning, and I
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 4: brought it on myself. We know not what to pray
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: for as we are. The beginning, one of the first
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 4: principles of wisdom is to figure out that you don't
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 4: know as much as you think you do. My God,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 4: this is good Bible class. This is good. The moment
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 4: you stop worshiping your opinion and your decision, you open
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 4: up to have a God in your life. But as
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 4: long as you worship what you have in mind, That
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 4: becomes an idol to you. And he's going to tear
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 4: down every idol. He's going to cast out every foe.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 4: He's going to wash you till you're whiter than snow.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 4: Do you hear what I'm saying? He's going to tear
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 4: it down. He's going to show you over and over
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 4: and over again that you keep making bad choices. You
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 4: are bringing this on yourself. The Spirit helpeth our infirmities,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 4: for we know not what we should pray for as
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 4: we are. But the Spirit, but the Spirit itself maketh
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 4: intercession for us. Here's that word again, with groanings. This
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 4: text has got groanings in it over and over again.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 4: The whole earth is groaning. We are groaning within ourselves.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 4: Now the Spirit is groaning. And it takes a groan
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 4: to stop a groan. So the Spirit comes. Now you're
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 4: going to get some help. Now you're going to get
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 4: some comfort. When the Spirit comes, now you're going to
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 4: get some comfort. Because the Spirit is going to come
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 4: in there and groan with you. See, we don't have
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 4: church like we used to. But we used to have
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 4: the bonus bench. We'd have groaning. We'd come in and
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 4: labor together. In the spirit. We weren't so quick to
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 4: want to leave. We were grown in the spirit. Because
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 4: some things only come out by prayer and fasting. Some
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 4: things take time. Some things take struggle. And the spirit
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 4: has to grow with your spirit. And now you got
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 4: fellowship in your suffering. Because you're not suffering alone. And
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 4: you're not in isolation. The Holy Ghost. Do you not
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 4: know that the Lord will get in the fire with you?
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 4: He will get in the fire with you. He will
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 4: call you out of the cave. Even in the midst
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 4: of all that stinky stuff, he groans with you. Because
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 4: he know you don't know what to pray for. So
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 4: he says, let me take over. This is why you
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 4: need the Spirit. Because the Spirit is going to groan
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 4: with you. He got to groan for a groan for
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 4: a groan. That's harmony.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 5: That's harmony.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 4: That's harmony. Give me a D, an E flat. Are y'all,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 4: anybody on the keyboard? Give me a D, give me
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 4: an E, E flat, and an F, and hit them
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 4: all at the same time. That's what it sounds like inside.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 4: Hit it again. That's a desolate sound. It's half steps
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 4: in one hole mixed together. Halves and wholes. Mixed together
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 4: produce groaning. Groaning is not pleasant. Groaning is not beautiful.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 4: Groaning is not melodious. Hit it again. Groaning is a disconnect.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 4: Some of your spirit, if I would write a score
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 4: with what's going on inside of your spirit, it would
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 4: sound like. Because the spirit is groaning in your spirit.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 4: And your world is groaning because of your groaning. And
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 4: it's all groaning together, trying to bring you to an
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 4: expected end. Likewise, the Spirit helpeth our infirmity, for we
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 4: know not what we should pray for as we are,
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 4: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 4: which cannot be languished. Uttered really means languished. I cannot verbalize.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 4: I do not have the emotional... intelligence to talk about this.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 4: This is pain. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 4: what is in the mind of the spirit because he
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 4: maketh intercession for us according to the will of God.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 4: And we know. Did it again. that even though it
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 4: doesn't sound good, even though it gets on my nerves,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 4: even though it wakes me up at 3 o'clock in
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 4: the morning, even though it wakes me up again at 5,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 4: even though I drive to work half asleep, we still
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 4: know that all things work together for the good of
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 4: them that love the Lord, who are the called according
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 4: to to his purpose. It's gonna work together. He's not wrong.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 4: He played exactly what I scored. We know it's gonna
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 4: work together for good. Hit it again. You might be
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 4: at this present time hearing this on your insides, smiling
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 4: on the outside, but inside you go home and get
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 4: by yourself and at night it's this. It is like
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 4: that because the Spirit is matching your spirit. Grown for grown.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 4: I wish I had time. Deep calling on the deep.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 4: That's what Job said. Deep calling on the deep. As
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 4: the noise of thy water spouts. See, this is what
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 4: spiritual people have. This is the intercession of the Holy Spirit.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 4: It's a groaning. He matches your groaning. He meets you
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 4: in the groaning. He meets you in the pain. He
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 4: meets you in the sufferings. He meets you in your confusion.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 4: He meets you in your frustration. He meets you in
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 4: your disappointment. You had an expectation. He meets you in
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 4: your disappointment because disappointment is made from expectation. Disappointment is
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 4: made from expectation. You can't be disappointed if you don't expect.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 4: If you want to stop disappointment, stop expectation. Let me
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 4: hear it again. And the Holy Spirit gets down in
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 4: there and he says, I'm going to make that sound
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 4: that gets on your nerves work together for your good
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 4: according to the will of God. Clap your hands. I'm
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 4: going to start. How many people got some help tonight?
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you why I'm teaching this way. We
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 4: are in the midst in this present time of a
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 4: lot of groaning. Our whole world is groaning. Our whole
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 4: country is groaning. Many of our houses are groaning. And
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 4: then we groan within ourselves for so many reasons. And
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 4: it's our job to try to lead you through the
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 4: groaning while we also groan. If the Spirit groans, you
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 4: got to let me groan. You can't hold me in
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 4: such high esteem that I can't groan. If the Holy
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 4: Spirit is groaning, please let me groan. Please, excuse me. Yes,
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 4: the bishop can groan. The Holy Spirit can groan. The
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 4: bishop can groan. It's okay for me to groan. And
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 4: yet I have to help you through the groaning process
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 4: because you're in labor. You're travailing in pain. When I
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 4: was preaching this Sunday morning, I saw a woman in
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 4: stirrups that like they put you in when you're about
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 4: to have a baby. and you're about to give birth,
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 4: ain't no girl cute when she's pushing that baby out.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 4: There ain't no cute way to push that baby out.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 4: What God is trying to get out of you, it
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 4: ain't no cute way to get there, but when you
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 4: get there, the whole world is waiting, not on the
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 4: coming of the Lord, but the manifestation of the sons
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 4: of God The whole world is waiting on you to
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 4: stop doing the same things over and over and over
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 4: and over and over again and listening at your own counsel.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 4: Now we can do this the easy way or we
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 4: can do this the hard way. But one way or
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 4: the other, God is going to win this fight. Close
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 4: your eyes. You know in your heart that the Lord
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 4: is talking to you. You know he is. You know
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 4: he has heard your deepest groans. And on Wednesday night
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 4: in a Bible class, he chooses the strangest time to
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 4: deal with the deepest things. Some of you have been
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 4: groaning most of your life. But tonight's your night. For
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 4: you to get your hope back, for you to get
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 4: your help back, And for you to at least understand
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 4: that God is getting you ready for glory. If he
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 4: is speaking to you, could you for once let go
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 4: of your image and open up your heart and let
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 4: him come in? Sweet Holy Spirit, do something in us.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 4: Do something for us. Do something with us. We cannot
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 4: continue on the path we're on. We arrest every demonic
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 4: plot and plan that has come to make us miserable
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 4: and incomplete. We say yes to your will. We surrender.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 4: We surrender all. In Jesus' name, amen. Give him the
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 4: best praise you got. Come on. Come on. Online, everywhere.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 4: Give us the blessed praise you got. Don't stop the stream.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 4: Keep the stream going. Keep the stream going. Keep the
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 4: praise going. Keep the anointing going. Keep the glory coming.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 4: Keep the groaning going. Keep it coming. Keep it coming.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 4: Keep it coming. Keep it coming. Keep it coming. Keep
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 4: it coming. Keep it coming. Now we know you're the
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 4: sons of God. Now we know you're the sons of God. Hallelujah.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 4: For as many as are led by the Spirit, they
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 4: shall be called the sons of God. Right where you stand,
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 4: right where you are watching, wherever you are in the world,
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 4: I want you to worship him. Even in your giving
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 4: and in a seed. And this is what I want
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 4: you to sow for. You kept me when I was
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 4: losing my mind. You kept me When I was ready
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 4: to die. You kept me when I had nobody to
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 4: talk to. You kept me when I cried in my
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 4: pillow at night. Come on, let it out. You kept me.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 4: And you sent this word tonight. You know what I
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 4: got tonight? I know for sure. You heard me. You
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 4: heard me. And I'm going to raise a thank you
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 4: offering and honor you. And when I sow my seed,
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 4: I'm going to cast my cares on him because he
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 4: cares for me. We're going to do things a little
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 4: bit different from how we normally do. If you're in
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 4: the building, I'm going to ask you to bring your
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 4: seed right to this altar. with no form, no fashion,
• 1:37:28

• 1:40:42
  Speaker 4: or in this building and you don't know Jesus, In
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 4: this present time, you can't make it. You need a personal, intimate, deep-down, gully-washing, thirst-quenching,
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 4: mind-renewing encounter with God. You need it. I'm glad for
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 4: your therapist. I'm glad for your degrees in psychology. But
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 4: it's going to take the groaning of the Holy Spirit
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 4: to fix your life. For all you've been through and
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 4: what you're going through at this present time, now is
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 4: the time of salvation. If you're in this room and
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 4: you don't know the Lord, if you're in this room
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 4: and you're backslidden, if you're in this room and you've
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 4: been out of fellowship, I want you to bring yourself
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 4: down to this altar. Not your seat, but yourself. And
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 4: give yourself to God. Thank you, deacons. Bring yourself to God.

• 1:42:21
  Speaker 4: If you're backslidden and you're out of fellowship and you
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 4: can come to church every Sunday and be backslidden as
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 4: all get out, you know in your heart that you
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 4: don't have the fire burning for God like you used
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 4: to and you are contented to be cold. You don't
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 4: mind being lukewarm. You got excuses for being lukewarm. But
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 4: God said, I will spew you out of my mouth.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 4: You need to get right with God. Come on. No faking.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 4: No just coming to church. God don't have to be
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 4: glad because you're here. You have to be glad that
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 4: he let you live to be here. So if there's
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 4: a backslider in the house, could everybody stand for a
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 4: minute so nobody has to walk over you? If there's
