Pastor Otha L. Turnbough | A Divine Shift Is Closer Than You Think!

And so, uh, in the same way that your body houses the real you, which is the spirit, is the same way that your brain houses the mind. Okay. Your brain is connected to your physical body. Your mind is connected to your spiritual body. So when you go to heaven, okay, unfortunately, I know nobody is going to hell. So we're talking about people that's outside this building. So whether you go to heaven or hell, your mind goes with you. And so that is a very difficult thing to go to the underworld and think about what you should have done forever.

And so, but the mind is connected to the spirit. The brain is connected to the body. And so when you give your life to Christ, you are given another mind because the Bible says, "If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away." Okay? So we have the mind of Christ. So this past weekend, we talked about what we needed to do in order to guard the mind. Okay? And so go to the next one. Guard your heart above all else. Above all else, guard it, for it determines the course of your life. That word "heart" means you must guard your thoughts and affections and discernment that spring forth from the mind. Okay? Simply put, your mind and your mindset determine the state of everything in your life. Particularly the mindset. Mindset means what your mind is constantly set on unconsciously. And as we were praying, the Lord gave me a vision about, about this is very important because what you constantly think on is what you are drawing into your life. Imagine I was sitting there and the Lord, like, gave me an example of being able to take you into the future and what would happen if God could take you into tomorrow and you see what's going to happen tomorrow because of what you're thinking about today. And what, what would happen if he could take you into the next week and he could show you the promotions and the problems and the situations and the circumstances that are all headed your way because of what you're thinking about today or because of what your mind is set on today. Okay? Remember what Job said. He said, "The thing that I was constantly afraid of is what came to me." So, you had to be very, very careful. And so, this is not being taught in regards to one of the main things that you're supposed to do as a Christian is learn how to control your mind on purpose. Now, you see out there in sometimes the occult world or, you know, higher thought world where they teach you how to control your mind so that you turn off the pain nerves, you know, like you see, like some of the Buddhists, they will walk on hot coals, you know, that's how much the mind has control over your body. And in the movie The Matrix, Morpheus told Neo, he said, "Your mind makes it real." That is 100% true. Your mind makes it real. That's why the Bible talks about renewing your mind. Go to the next passage. Hallelujah.

A final word. Okay. So, we talked about guarding the mind and then we talked about the type of creatures that, um, the Bible says to protect yourself against, which is, "Be strong in the Lord and his mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil." Um, I, you need to look at that carefully. Number one, it said, "Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm." Which means if you don't have on all of God's armor, you may not be able to stand, you know, just because you got a little pretty confession. "Oh, I'm the head, not the tail." Wonderful. Your tail's been dragging for the last three months. So, stop saying stuff like that. You know, it's, you know, people sometimes can just be flippant with the words and, "Oh, the blood of Jesus protects me," you know, and they cough. "Oh, I'm healed in the name of Jesus." I mean, you're just saying stuff. You know, y'all can tell what irritates me, can't you? Put on all of God. See, this is king stuff. This is royal stuff. This is power stuff. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm because the devil is constantly strategizing against you. Now, we're going to go a little bit deeper today in regards to that. It says, "We're not fighting against people. We keep making it about people, and it's not about people. But you're fighting against evil rulers, authorities of the unseen world, mighty powers in this dark world, and evil spirits in outer space." That word "heavenly places" literally means outer space. We have dumbed down the words, but there are three titans: the one you can see, the one in outer space, and the one where God dwells. So, it talks about four classes of spirits that we are fighting against. Well, if I don't see them throughout the day, they're not standing in traffic throwing pitchforks at us, you know, they're not shooting at us in the course of a day, they're not sneaking into our homes, you know, and different things like that. So, if we're fighting against them, this is a stiff warning to fight against something when we don't see anything. And so, the main way that they're fighting against you is in your mind.

Go to the next one. So, I wanted to give you this definition because, because normally when we use this word, it's in a positive sense. You know, "I'm inspired to do this. I need inspiration, man. I got inspiration from this person and that situation and that, and I was inspired to go back to the gym and I was inspired to get my education. I was inspired to get another degree." Okay? So, it's normally used in a positive connotation. Okay? But I'm going to show you how the enemy uses it in a negative way. But this is the definition of it. Inspiration is the process of being mentally stimulated to feel, create, or act. It is often triggered by someone that uplifts or motivates to do good, or someone who tempts or entices to do bad. But it is a place of inspiration. So all of us are influenced by this. All of us have done bad, and all of us have been used by the devil to a certain degree or another. So I'm going to show you three examples. We're just going to talk about three stories to give great insight. We're going to look at these three stories and how you see how the devil inspired these individuals. You will get a clue on what was inspiring you to do something that was the opposite of the word. Y'all ready? Yes, sir. Let her know. And for anyone else has small kids, our regular children's church is open, but we do have an area for women that have smaller children. It's a couch in there. It's too comfortable. Some couches in there and rocking chairs, and you can actually watch us on the screen. It's a private area for women with small children or nursing mothers, different things like that. So, I saw the young lady. Maybe I have some more people that need to stop. So, all right, y'all ready? Very, very interesting scriptures. I'm sorry. Then Mary took a 12-ounce jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard, and she anointed Jesus' feet with it, wiping his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance. But Judas, I mean, know Judas was one of Jesus' disciples. But Judas, the disciple who would soon betray him, said that perfume was worth a year's wages. So, stop right here. This lets you see, this lets you know here how you know you have to be careful because people have a problem, have a bad habit of complaining about things that Jesus does not complain about.

Now, he didn't have a problem with how. See, this also lets you, you have to be careful. People think, um, financial integrity or prudence is being cheap. It's not. Ain't nothing to do with that. The Bible says God is against those that are rich but are also not rich towards God. Also. Okay? So you have to be very careful because, you know, watch this. You know, so, so the guy that buys a $150,000 car, okay, the guy who has a car that costs $70,000 said, "I can't believe he would spend that much money on the car. He's out of order." Well, the person that spent $40,000 on their car has a right to say that about you since you spent $70,000. And the person that spent $20,000 on their car has a right to say it about the four who spent $40,000. "Why do you got to get a brand new car that costs $20,000? How come you can't go to CarMax and get one that costs $10,000?" Well, you went to CarMax and got $10,000, and the guy that believes in riding bikes for a living, he's not mad. Are y'all understand what I'm saying? And God is looking at all y'all. Why don't all of y'all shut up and mind your own business? I don't have a problem with what anybody buys, including if it cost $300,000, as long as you are on point in other particular areas. Y'all got me. Jesus asked for a new donkey, not a used one. They're going to talk about me like a dog. It just felt good to say it at that moment. How many, what can I say something? I only have three stories, and I'm going to extract a lot of revelation out of this. You know, because they, you know, I always tell the first-time visitors, I can step back over here when I'm talking. I always tell the first-time visitors, I am a prosperity preacher. I am not a money preacher. There is a difference.

A prosperity preacher preaches what the word says because Jesus said, "I came to give you life and life more abundantly." That sounds like prosperity to me, doesn't it? Okay. So, a prosperity preacher preaches on health in your body, money in your bank account, a wonderful marriage. All of that stuff is prosperity. Peace and joy and happiness and direction and wisdom. All of that is prosperity. So, I'm a prosperity preacher. I'm not a money preacher. A money preacher is, "The Lord told me that there's five people in here that's supposed to give $1,000 and 89 cents." It's always the 89 cents that gets me. Y'all ever seen people do that on $772? I'm just, I went to the bank, and they told me they're not even selling pennies like that anymore. Bro, just, why is this crazy? You see Jesus doing none of this stuff.

Okay. So, you have to be, you have to be very, very careful in regards to when you have a problem with someone and Jesus doesn't have a problem with someone. The perfume was worth a year's wages. Cuz how many, you know, first of all, I'm not buying any type of cologne or perfume that took my whole salary. That's crazy in and of itself. This woman sat up here for, and second thing is, what type of perfume is this that you got to save your entire paycheck for 12 months in order to buy this? No, I'm just going to use Dove. I'm good on that. That perfume. This is Judas speaking, trying to make it seem like it's an issue that this woman spent this much money on this perfume and then put it on Jesus' feet. He said that perfume was worth a year's wages. It should have been sold and the money given to the poor. Oh, that sounds like people right now. "It should have been sold." Not that he cared for the poor.

He was a thief. And since he was in charge of the disciples' money, he often stole some for himself. Stop right there. Again, this is proof that the disciples were not poor. You do not need an accountant to handle your money if you are poor. The Bible says that just several of the disciples, they had a fishing business, and Jesus did a big miracle that brought them an abundance of money. That's the reason why they were willing to walk away from their business because of how much money Jesus had just made them. They were fishermen. They didn't catch anything that night. Jesus told them, "Put your, put your net over here." It says they caught so many fish that the net was, the nets, the nets were breaking, and they had to call for all of the other boats. And all the other boats, the fish just kept multiplying, multiplying, multiplying, multiplying. Here's a deep principle. I'm getting too deep too fast. When Jesus told them to put, remember, they caught nothing, right? So when Jesus told them to put the net in the water, fish did not swim into the water. The water turned to fish. That's a whole, there's a whole thing in scripture where you see them having the ability. Y'all remember, did, did not Jesus turn water into. So that's another supernatural level that we haven't tapped into, is that you can change the substance of a thing. I can take a chair and turn it into a bike. He said, "I'm out there. I'm not even, no, I'm down there. I'm not out there because we're in the water right now." That's my wife said my jokes are corny. So let me just stop. Okay. And so, yeah, I am out there. I got to find my way back now. Oh, yeah. So this, so it says that Jesus, in order to get, they did not know Jesus was the son of God. He just asked to borrow their boat to preach. After he preached, he said, "Let me reward you." He said, "Let me put down, put down your net." He made them a boatload of money. Huge. So they were willing to walk away from the business for a while because they had enough to keep them for a while. But the scripture says that when they went with Jesus, it says that they put the fishing business in the hands of their employees. How many know back then fishing is one of the main businesses when it comes to food. They're not selling fried chicken and pork, you know, and land. They're not fish. Okay. He said oxtails. That's, I think Jamaicans, they invented that one. Okay. But not that he cared for the poor. He was a thief. And since he was in charge of the disciples' money, he often stole some for himself. He stole the money for three years, and no one knew. Three years. In charge of all the disciples' money because none of them were broke.

Go to the next one. The leading. Now. So, so, so now we jump in time. So, what do you see here? You see a man who is a man of God, who Jesus picked, and, um, as he is, as he is doing the work of the Lord, he has a personal problem that he is not getting on top of, and he is being inspired by a dark force to keep skimming off of that money. Hey, it's a force skimming, skimming, you know. And so now we move forward in time, near the end, after he's been skimming for three years. "The leading priests and teachers of religious law were plotting how to kill Jesus, but they were afraid of the people's reaction. Then Satan entered into Judas, who was one of the 12 disciples." How was Satan able to enter? Go back. How was Satan able to enter Judas? Because he was the one that was working on him all along. Whatever you won't get on top of. Any area of the word that you are breaking, especially if you know it's wrong and you just choose not to do it, is Satan inspiring you to do that. It's inspiring you to not walk in love. It's inspiring you to sin. He's inspiring you to do that. And, and because he needs you to do that for a little while so that you keep breaking yourself down so that they can now fully consume you. It's always a trick. Okay? Because when they, and then when they consume you, they, they will then use you to destroy people. Or use you to destroy yourself. Satan entered Judas. That's crazy. That whole, that sentence, "Satan entered one of Jesus' disciples who was in charge of the disciples' money, who was doing miracles along with the rest." Yes, your ability to do miracles is not what's stopping Satan from getting you. You have to live holy in order for Satan to not get you. I hate to say this, but any fool can do a miracle. The Buddhists do it. The hairy Christians do it. The occult does it. Witchcraft is doing it. And it's a group of people that says they will go before the Lord and say, "Lord, we did many miracles." He said, "Wonderful. I don't know you because you didn't live right." All of those who say "once saved is always saved." You keep playing that game. I don't believe in gambling with salvation. I'll gamble with the speed limit, but not with my salvation. And he went to the leading priests. This is Judas. After Satan, now remember, he already had a problem he wouldn't get on top of. This opened up the door for darkness to consume him greater. That's right. And as a result, he took it to the next level. At first, he was just stealing the money. Now, he's getting ready to negotiate the sale of Jesus Christ. He went to the leading priests and captains of the temple guard to discuss the best way to betray Jesus to them. They were delighted, and they promised to give him money. Now, it's the problem is increased. So, he agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus so that they could arrest him when the crowds weren't around. It's crazy, isn't it? Let's move forward again after he's done it. Jesus has already turned Jesus in. He's already taken the 30 pieces of silver and everything. And now that Satan has used him to destroy someone, now he leaves Judas. And when Judas, who had betrayed him, realized that Jesus had been condemned to die, he was filled with remorse. So he took the 30 pieces of silver back to the leading priests and the elders. "I have sinned," he declared, "for I have betrayed an innocent man." They said, "What do we care?" they retorted. "That's your problem." See, it's funny. The people who help you sin will not help you out when you get in trouble for your sin. Because they were used by the same individual that was getting you to sin. Then Judas threw the silver coins down in the temple and went out and hanged himself. Satan is always after your destruction. He's always after your destruction. But it starts with a little thing that you won't get on top of. What did Jesus say? He said, "Be careful. He said, 'It's the small foxes that spoil the vine.'" Y'all got that? So that is a lesson in how there was an inspiration. Inspiration is usually used in the good context. But there are creatures, those four classes, that they inspire you. They give you a good idea, and they begin to tempt you, and you come up with a plan that it's okay for you to do this because you can get away with it. Okay? And then they keep pushing it, and they just keep pushing it, and they just keep pushing it, and then next thing you know, you've taken it higher, and then you end up destroying yourself and the other individual. Okay? And then for some people, this is the reason why some people walk away from Christ because when Satan uses them this way, they then consider themselves unworthy to be a Christian. "I might as well just go on out there and be a sinner now." Okay.

Go to the next one. Ah, this is a good one. This is Peter. It's funny that the first two examples are with Jesus' disciples, which lets you know that regardless of how close to Jesus you are, does it not prevent you from hearing from Satan? People think because they have a title or they got a church or they're prayer warriors, and who are you? Jesus couldn't get Satan off his back for 40 days. You somehow better than him? Especially I try to counsel people, and they're like, "Oh, no, no, I got it." Then why are you asking me for? You know what the worst counseling sessions are? They come to you for counseling, and when you sit down, they want to preach. We had a lady that came here years ago and, um, with her friend, and, uh, she came for deliverance. I think they came from another state. And so when, when the ladies got ready to minister to her, I don't know if you were a part of that one, but, but when they got ready to minister to her, she said, "Well," her friend said, "Well, I don't really need y'all to to, I don't need what, what y'all have." She said, "I'm an evangelist." It's like, "Here we go." I wasn't even here. I was at home. She said, "I'm an evangelist, and so I will instruct you how to pray for me." And so, uh, and so it was a high level of pride and all that type of stuff. So, the ladies, they didn't need my permission, but they said, they called me on the phone. They said, "Pastor," I said, "Yes, we act this arrogant evangelist here." And that's what they told me. And they said, "We could really go on her, but we need your permission to go in." I was like, "Yeah, no problem. Just do what you have to do. You know, the spirit room don't expect titles, so just go in." So after they said that, I drove up to the church, and I happened to walk in the door when this, when the lady that they went in on was coming out the office to take a break. She was scared of everything. She saw me. I mean, she was shaking. I was trying my best not to laugh. And, and in my mind, I was like, "Mhm." I mean, her wig was all cocked to the side and everything. It was hilarious. I have no idea why I'm sharing with y'all. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So all of that title stuff and that stuff doesn't mean anything to Jesus and the devils. It just, that means stuff to people barely, you know. But again, you see the disciples, the disciples are hand-trained by Jesus. They are casting out demons. They are raising people from the dead. They are healing people. They are dealing with incurable situations called leprosy. They are out there bringing it. But it didn't prevent them from being corrupted by Satan. Y'all got it?

Okay. So, let's look at this one. It says, "From then on up, take show her where the baby room is. She tried her best. They might even have some chicken wings in there and stuff and all that. I know the ladies told me, they say, 'It's too comfortable in here. They got blankets and they were falling asleep on my sermon and everything.'" "From then on, Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law." Go back again. Go back. It's amazing, y'all. There's something I want you all to start paying attention to. When you read the Bible, pay attention to how everything is in threes. Just everything is in threes. It says that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, number one, leading priests, number two, and the teachers of religious religious law, number three. Pay attention to that pattern as you read the word. You're going to see everything is in threes. I don't know if they did it because God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. So they do everything in threes. But it's an amazing principle to see in scripture. Okay, let's go to the next verse. "He would be killed. But on the third day, he would be raised from the dead." But Peter, one of his close disciples, took him aside. Be careful about people who take you aside from the group because they need to inform you of some things that the Holy Spirit has shown them. Where Jesus said, "What I say in the one, I say in all." So why do you have a different revelation than all? But anyway, Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him. I get that sometimes too. Begin to reprimand him for saying such things. "Heaven forbid, Lord. He said, 'This will never happen to you.'" Sounds good. Okay, go to the next one. Jesus turned to Peter and said, "Get away from me, Satan. You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view and not from God's." Ooh, which lets you know one of the main attacks from the dark side is to influence you to see things from a humanistic point of view. You read something from the word, well, you know, we have to be careful about stuff like that. See things from a human point of view. I mean, think about that. That's a strange thing. So that's one of the tricks of the enemy is to inspire you to reject the word of God, which is always supernatural, and to just see things from a human point of view. After all, we can't be perfect. We all sin. Yet that's nowhere in the Bible. God, your Father said, "Be holy because I am." He said, "Be perfect because I am." Which means you should be striving for perfection, even though you're going to make mistakes. If we take you to the gun range, they don't tell you to just start shooting. They make you point for perfection. Shoot for the bullseye. You will miss every time. And if you hit it by accident, or that's what happens, you hit it by accident, it's not because you're a good shooter starting out the gate, but you keep on shooting for the bullseye regardless of how much you miss. Shoot for the bullseye regardless of how much you miss. Shoot for the bullseye. And what you don't know is the more you keep shooting for the bullseye, guess what happens? You don't even know that your body, your muscles, and your mind are adjusting for you to become what you are looking at. But it's just subtle. Shoot for the bullseye. And then if you keep doing that, guess what will happen? You will come to a place where you will hit the bullseye less than you miss it. Then if you keep on, you will become what they call a sharpshooter. Someone who never misses the bullseye. But it's only because you shot for the bullseye. And that's what God is saying. Be perfect. Shoot for being perfect. Stop making excuses and stop because it's Satan that is going to tell you you cannot be perfect. He's the one that would inspire you to say, "Well, you know, we're all human." No, we're not. You were human. God would never ask a human to be holy. He would never ask a human to be perfect. Are y'all following me? Yes. So that's the first thing. Here's the second problem. This lets you know about the ever-present presence of the demonic realm because when Jesus was talking, Satan was already there. Jesus is talking, and the disciples are listening, but so is Satan. He is listening to Jesus speak to the disciples and looking for a point to enter into the conversation. So Jesus makes this statement, and then Satan whispers in Jesus' ear, tells him he shouldn't be saying things like that. That's not how he did it. I'm sorry. He does it in, like, is it first person, third person, second person, whatever person? This is how he, first person. Thank you. This, so what this is what Peter had heard. He didn't hear someone say, "Tell Jesus you shouldn't say things like that." This is what Peter heard. "You shouldn't think, you shouldn't say things like that." And so what he heard in his mind, he then spoke out of his mouth. Okay? Y'all see that? And so the problem is is that you all, we're making decisions in life based on another person's point of view that hates you. The Bible talks, these stories are in the Bible for a reason. I want you to think, y'all see what's, this is what's classic about these first two examples. These are Jesus' disciples who are falling into this trap. These are the ones that are living with Jesus, walking with Jesus, being taught, I mean, private mentorship with Jesus. Now go out there and do what I do. They see him. They are with him. Watch this. The disciples are like-minded. This is the best-case scenario. And yet the best-case scenario could not prevent Satan from getting them. That's why I said disciples to show them how Peter, you know, Peter messed up several times. And watch this. These are the ones that are recorded. The Bible says if you record everything that happened in Jesus' ministry for the years, it says no books can hold them. So they just give you insight into a couple of, always remember this. So if you see one, it happened a thousand other times. But they just have the one in there to show you how it happens. That's an amazing thing is that two things. One, Jesus in the D, watch this. Jesus, see, we have this mindset that because of how powerful we are, Satan is way off some place in the back end of Beirut. No, light always attracts bugs. They must hang around the power to figure out how to disrupt the power. They must hang around the power to figure out how to get the people to sin that are walking in the power. Hang around them as much as you can. Find a way to corrupt, whisper, tempt. Are y'all following me? Inspire to do wrong. Oo, you want to hear you, y'all? You want to hear something crazy? Do you know that a majority of the stuff you gossip about, someone else convinced you to gossip about it? And you won't hear it this way. "Talk about Lucy and that ugly dress she has on." You're not going to like, "Who's that talking to me like that? Who's this?" This is what this is what this is what you'll hear. You'll hear your, you'll hear yourself say this, "Her dress is ugly." And so you actually believe it's you because it sounds like you. See, if all of these people on the front row, if I close my eyes and let me come up with a statement, "Oh, bingo." If I close my eyes and ask each one of them to make a statement, "Jesus is coming back soon." If I know them, I am able to determine who they are because I hear the inflection in the sound of the voice. But if you stand up those same 14 people and tell them to whisper, "Jesus is coming back soon," I cannot tell who it is because it's very hard to discern a whisper. So when Satan whispers in your ear, you can't tell it's him. You think it's you. Yes. And the only way you can know it's him is that it does not line up with what Jesus would do. Jesus would never say a person's, uh, dress is ugly because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Jesus would never call a person ugly. Are y'all following me? So anything that Jesus would never do, if you're thinking about doing it, is because someone else inspired you and influenced you to do it. And so we are living in a society, especially today, should be called the gossip center of the United States of America. That's all people do. They, we're taught to gossip. We're called to judge each other. We're called to smile in your face, but talk about you behind your back to to to make it seem like we all get along, but in private we talk about this is all. And, and, and if you could see it behind the scene, you would see just multitudes of crispers. Um, crispers. They're going to be crispy critters in a second. There's a man, can't remember who it was. And the Lord, an angel took him above New York and then pulled back the unseen realm. He pulled back. He said he was appalled. He said, because there was a creature on the shoulder of almost every single person walking around New York. There is very little teaching about the raw intensity of the unseen realm, and that you are the prize. The whole war between God and Satan is over you because of how val the Bible says all of heaven and the angels rejoice if one person gives their life to Christ because you, your value has been, the value that has been placed on you is the same value as the one who is sitting on the throne. And so they're going to come after you any type of way, and they're going to watch you, and they're going to analyze you, and they're going to determine your weak points. And once they determine your weak points, they start whispering, and next thing you know, you're doing something. And if we compare you to Jesus, you're on your way to hell because of your lifestyle, because of your character. And a lot of times it has to do with our. Do you realize that we've murdered many people with our mouths? I know it's real quiet now. The Christian temple turned into a Muslim temple. We have a moment of silence. Okay. But God doesn't see murder because there's two types of murder: spiritual murder, soulless murder, and then physical murder. And many of us have killed people with our mouths. And because at the end of this, you're going to have to go back to God, and you're going to have to ask the Lord, "Okay, Lord, I need you to reveal to me what's working against me." One of the ways you can do is just start reading the Bible. Any area that you are not obeying the word is because a creature is working against you, and you're yielding to him. You will either yield to the demonic spirit or you will yield to the Holy Spirit.

But that's very powerful. Satan was already standing there. He, that's why I keep telling people, watch this. If an unclean spirit has the ability to stand in the presence of Jesus and the disciples, then I'm pretty sure they have the ability to stand in the presence of our church services, listening, listening to the word, the way you're listening to the word. You're listening to the word to change your life. They're listening to the word so that they can counter the change that you're trying to produce. You know, there's so much incorrect concepts when it comes to Satan. If you don't pray in tongues and if you don't do deliverance, you don't have real revelation about Satan. You're just talking theory. And I hate to bust your little bubble, minister, but you're just talking theory. Okay? I mean, know, it's a difference between reading a book on mechanics versus actually being a mechanic. I know it's a difference between you reading how to cut somebody's hair versus you trying this experiment at home. I can't even remember what I was saying. Okay. But, oh, y'all remember when Satan, it says the sons of God came to present themselves before the throne, and it says Satan was with him. Now, last time I checked in the Bible, didn't it say that Satan was kicked out of heaven? So, if he was kicked out of heaven, then why is he allowed back in heaven? Oh, he's allowed back in heaven over one reason: legal issues. I have a legal right to march up you, march up here and talk to you about your son acting a fool in planet Earth. I need permission to do and bring the curse in his life because your son is disobeying the word. You wrote the word about how the curse comes upon people when they sin. You wrote it. So, I'm asking you to obey the law that you wrote. Ain't nothing worse in the world than your lifestyle allowing Satan to march into heaven because you won't walk in love and obey the word. There are cases against many Christians that are pending. Can't believe I just said that. There are many pending legal issues over Christians right now where Satan has asked God, "I need permission from you to destroy this person because of what they have done." And right now, that case is pending. It's pending because they want to see what you're going to do. It can be canceled if you repent. Okay? I don't know why I'm saying this. You all, some, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. And sometimes the case is pending because there are people in here that you have destroyed people with your mouth and your actions towards them. And, and so you, one of the things that Zacchaeus did is Zacchaeus didn't just repent. He went back and repaired what he messed up when it came to doing people wrong. And a lot of people do people wrong, and they repent, but they don't go back and repair. And you don't go back and repair because you're still arrogant in regards to the very thing that you did in the first place. And since you are unwilling to repent and repair, there's a pending case against you to see to give you enough time to go back and repair what you tore up. God is very much into you repairing people that you messed up. How many care about your little raggedy car? You know what I'm saying? We, watch this. We, we, we will speed, get in a car accident, and the first thing we're trying to do is repair the car. That's right. You go to a party, and you're dancing too hard, and you got juice all over your, and the first thing you do is send it to the cleaners. Anything else that's non-tangible, we are quick to get replaced. We are quick to to repair. Let you lose a diamond out of your ring because you were too callous. You know what I'm saying? And then you run to the jeweler trying to get another ring. But when it comes to people, that's the most valuable thing. We run, rush over people. We know we destroyed them, but we don't care. And so the case is pending because it's like, if you don't repair that, then now you got to reap that. Oh, you might be forgiven of it, but you got to reap it. I'm getting tired of telling people about doing the right thing. And I'm being honest with you. I'm getting very tired of telling people to do. I mean, I'm at the point now, I'm not counseling you. Do you read the Bible? No. Do you pray? Then get up out of here. Calling me for encouragement for what? I'm not the encourager. The Holy Ghost is the encourager. The Bible is the encourager. Learn how to pray. That's the problem. The most difficult thing is me dealing with quote-unquote seasoned Christians who won't do the very simple stuff in the word. That's why remember what time, one time Jesus' disciples did, they couldn't do something, and Jesus got so frustrated. I can't believe he said this. He said, "How long do I have to be with y'all?" He was upset, telling y'all the same thing over and over and over again. Y'all with me every single day, and you worried about some other guy that's casting out demons that's not a part of our team. That's the problem. If you would worry about your own business the way that you are in other people's business, maybe your business might be on top. But we are masters at judging everybody else, not realizing you look the most ugly in the mirror. I didn't mean to do none of that. I don't know what makes us think that what the Bible says is untrue when you stand before God. And there's nothing worse than being recorded by both sides, and you're going to have to stand before God, and he's going to say, "Unfortunately, I can't do this for you because of Satan's record against you." And the problem is, God will let you deal with. He, the problem is, you all, when you do things wrong, God institutes grace and mercy. And so because nothing happens, you think you're good. I'm preaching hard tonight. I know y'all didn't. But yet, if you watch, I don't know why I'm saying this. If it's so, again, we are masters at what other people should do that we don't do. We are masters about when someone else gets off track, but you're off track while you're judging them being off track. I never forget when Jimmy Swaggart, I never will forget when Jimmy Swaggart had that situation where, you know, he fell into sin and was sleeping with a prostitute, you know, and he repented. And, and, and, you know, let me tell you something about something. There are some sins that you will always be forgiven of, but you won't recover fully. I've never seen a man of God that got over into sexual sin and rose to the level he was at before he sinned. Never seen it. It's, it's something about that. It's like it puts a stain on you. You're forgiven and you're cleansed, and God will use you, but it's like you can't go all, it's, it's weird. You never see them rise to where they were before they fell. That's why Satan wants them to fall. There are a lot of mysteries about sin. The Bible talks about the mystery of sin, but it says, "Great is the mystery of godliness." Both of them are mysteries, but the mystery concerning godliness is much greater than the mystery concerning sin. Now, where was I at? Oh, so Jimmy Swaggart, you know, and so it came out that he was sleeping with this prostitute. And another man of God used his pulpit to just talk about Jimmy Swaggart and his foolishness and slandering him. Then they found out that this fool was also in an adulterous relationship. It's, it's, it's, you know, this, I didn't plan on saying it. I don't know why I'm tripping. I always say stuff I didn't plan on saying. How many of you know I, I want you to think about this. Y'all remember the scripture that says, "You are not qualified to take a log out of somebody's eye unless you get the speck out of yours." Now, the interesting thing is, it assumed that all, no, that's not right. Flip that. I says, "Wait a minute. That didn't sound right." It's, I want you to, I got to get a, I think they got this water from the Everglades. So, I want you to think about that just for a second. See, I'm, see, the thing is, I'm trying to help all of us because what has happened is the church has become just religious, where people actually believe that because they come to a building and saying "Hallelujah" and lift their hands and and worship the Lord with tears, and then go right out there and do the opposite of what he says, they think they're good. Right. Thank you. That she thought I was being deep. I was trying to remember what I was saying. Um, yeah. Now, I think about this for a second. The Bible says, "How many a log represents a big issue?" Maybe even big sins. You know, you are the residential drug dealer type stuff. You know what I'm saying? You threw that out there. But, but the Bible says, just realize they may not be able to see me in the back. The Bible says, "How can you see clearly about a log if you haven't removed the speck?" I did it again. How can you be qualified to remove a small issue in someone's life if you haven't taken care of the big issues in your life? Now, here's the problem with that scripture. It assumes that all of us had logs. It's written to everybody. It didn't say people in this category, people on this particular level. You've been saved for 30 years with a mighty burning fire. It didn't say any of that, did it? It said, I say to everybody, "How can you see the little small speck when you have a log in yours?" But guess what everybody does? Everybody assumes they're the ones with the small speck, which the truth be told is all of us have logs. We can only tell that you don't have a log because you walk in great humility concerning yourself and how you treat people. She said the molting the beam. That's the King James. Maggie, consider not the in. Yes, they didn't hear you, Maggie, because you're not on the microphone, but we thank you for the adjustment. Mag was like, "You got to get it right." Hey, but you know what I'm saying? I mean, it's talking about the motor in the beam. You know, in other translations, it says a speck in the log. You know, it uses other things, but, but both of them are talking about you can't see clearly, which is the reason why you should be quiet. And I understand in this day, it's hard to be quiet. All you need.

To do is take a trip to Walmart. It's real. Let me tell you something. When I saw those two dudes in aisle seven with their hair in ponytails, wearing a red and white polka dot dress with a wand. And Lana was walking in front of me. I said, "Lana," she said, "I ain't got time all of your today." Just my tone of calling her name, she know. No, no. I said, "You got to see this right here. You have got to see that. I can be totally out of order. I really can be totally I really be out of order."

Like the one guy, I had to run over to the across the street from the Riverdale site before church started. I was at Walmart. I think I had to get some boots or something cuz something had happened at church. And there's this dude, this he looked like he was 90, but he was like a 90. He's like he was he was dressed like a rapper with a toupe. And he looked so crazy. I actually started to take a picture of him and show the congregation. And the Holy Ghost is like, "What is wrong with you?" So, I'm not good at Walmart, y'all.

It's just that you you know what? When you're trying to save somebody's life and they're not listening, sometimes you have to be hard. And what I just said was very hard. But get you need to I'm telling you, you need to get yourself together because I don't need any cases in heaven that are pending investigation.

Do you all remember what God told um the angels um when it came to Sodom and Gomorrah? He said, "I need you to go." It was a pending investigation. I need you to go down there and investigate so I can actually confirm that what I am hearing is actually true. Now, the last time I checked, God has the ability to know all and see all. But see, those things are in there to show you pending investigations about how God does certain things.

So, Satan loves to pull you into stuff. And now that you're in that stuff, he then runs to heaven and says, "Uh, your boy, your girl is in stuff and I have a right to take them out." And then what happens is is that when it happens, an investigation starts pending. Why? And literally outcome is pending the investigation. And then they have people who watch you, angelic beings, holy spirit, all of that. They give input and uh and then they have to determine whether that they judge you or they determine if they will give you mercy.

I'll prove to you it's Satan. Y'all remember what happened to Job? Would have never happened if it wasn't for Satan. I want you to think about that for a second. That scenario would have never happened if Satan had not ran up before God and says, "Yeah, I understand that he's trusting you." Cuz God started bragging on Job because he was a righteous man. Say, "Yeah, whatever." He said, "But I bet you if you take away his prosperity, I bet you take away everything." He said, "That man will curse you to your face." Investigation pending.

I'm teaching whether you know I'm teaching or not. I'm teaching you the other side of what's watching you and that they are pending investigations about your lifestyle and your speech and what you have done in private and what you WHY YOU THINK THE BIBLE SAYS what you do in private is going to be exposed openly and preach from the housetop. It says that you're doing it in private, God gives you a chance to deal with it in private, but if you don't deal with it in private, he then exposes it to save you. It's a good commercial break right here. Hallelujah. Congratulations. I already tell them to bring them out at the same time and not just one by one. I can't interrupt 30 times during the sermon. We're waiting for them to come out. Are y'all following me what I just said?

So, guess what? There is a uh there is a scripture. I'm glad I only got three stories. Two more. All right. Well, bring them out together. Not one by one like the animals going into the Noah's Arc boat. My numbers seem to be off today, don't they?

Thank you. Now, before anybody in here feels bad, God is very serious about you repenting and reparing. Jesus said, "Bring forth fruits to prove that you're sorry about what you're sorry about. Don't just say you're sorry, recognize that you tow it up, not go back and reverse it and clean it up." So, there are many of you that you're in this category. Jesus asked the disciples, I just read this today. He said, "Which of the two obeyed me?" Let's wait. Congratulations. We're good. See the Bible there. Script is so all of this stuff is flooding toward me. This is like flooding toward me. I know there was a a seven-year-old went in an operation during the operation, went to heaven, came back and and told the whole hospital up. Y'all better get it right soon. She said, "Y'all better get right soon." She said, "This judgment thing and this is a seven-year-old." Okay, so what was I saying? Hold on. Oh, so so the Bible says God will he will hurt you, then he will heal you. It's an amazing scripture. It says it says that he will bruise you, and then he will heal you. Because there are some things that you have to hear that you don't want to hear, but I got to make you feel bad in order to save your behind. And it's going to make you feel bad, but if you'll accept it, then I'll heal you. This is for a lot of people in here or particularly I could be feeling this from online, too. Do I have to remember I have two audiences for this one online upstairs and then downstairs?

Um Jesus told the disciples, he said, "Which one pleased me?" He said, "The one guy, I told him what to do." And he said, "I'm not doing that." But later he did. He said, "The other guy said, "Okay, I'll do it." But he didn't. And they said, the first guy, he said, "That is correct." Then he said something crazy. He said, "That's why the prostitutes and the tax collectors are going to heaven before you will. You gonna set us up like that? See, so, so, so there are things that many of us should have done a long time ago, but you didn't. But if you do, God will, you'll be, you'll be pleasing to God. We understand that you didn't do it. Okay? Just he notice what I mean? These these are in there for reasons. He said, "Which one please be more?" The one who I told him what to do. He knew what was right, but he didn't do it. But then later on, he did. But then the other guy, those are the ones shout hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Yes. Oh, God, I'm getting ready to take it up. No. And they don't do anything. See, so it's so the thing is is that in in in in natural law, let me let me reverse that. With spiritual things, you are the one. Let me get this right. You know, let me tell you something about the school of eternity. There are some things that I'm teaching that I've never heard. You hear me, but you don't hear him. See, I didn't even say that right. What is with me today? Okay. So, in natural law, the outcome of the pending investigation is based on the past that you can't change. With spiritual things, the outcome of the pending investigation is based on what you will do in the future, based on what you did in the past, which you can change. Are y'all following me?

So, there are many things that have been against us that were canceled because you repented and got it right. There are many things that are still pending because God has given you mercy. Mercy is time. The definition of mercy is time. This investigation should have come to an end and we could have given Satan what he wanted. But we are going to give you mercy which is time. And the time that we give you has an end. And during that period of time, we're going to have the Holy Ghost convict you. You're going to see television shows. People are going to tell you what to do. And as long and if you've been, then that investigation is cancelled. Wow. But if not, we must go with the judgment written. And there's nothing worse than you moving God's hand because he had to listen to Satan about your lifestyle. Oh Lord. So when you are here, there are times when I will be extremely strong and extremely forceful because the hard I know this is not a word. this hard-headedness out here on the street now. Satan has a grip on these people and he has hardened their minds against the truth. And sometimes you have to come with a great big old hammer and just knock them right upside their head. You know what I'm saying? I have a couple people I told them, I ain't going to argue with you except Jesus or die. Simple as that. You welcome, Bishop. You both told that letter. He said, "Ma'am, you are welcome to go to hell. I'm not going to argue with you."

There's some things that don't need to be argued. You either want you either want to live forever or you want to die forever. You cannot going through life saying in order for my car to work, I have to follow instructions. I got to change the oil every 3,000 to 6,000 mi, whatever they say. If I don't, the engine will blow up or seize up. I must put 87 in this car. I can't put orange juice in this car because it's organic. Otherwise, the engine will not work. Are y'all following me? I must get I can only be up for a certain amount of time, then I have to go to sleep. I have to brush my teeth. I have to do certain things or I'm going to have problems. I have to take a bath. I have to take a shower or eventually I'm going to have issues on my skin. When I go to work, I have to do it a particular way or I will not got paid. When I go to the Secretary of State, I know that it's a gimmick to make more money, but I got to go with the gimmick and have my registration tags renewed on my birthday. Otherwise, they will not allow ME TO DRIVE. WE FOLLOW EVERY INSTRUCTION THAT these worldly people come up with, but the individual that died for you and is going to allow you to live forever. Oh, I'm going to be selective in regards to whether I obey or not because I don't feel like doing this. Well, what about IF HE DIDN'T FEEL like dying? If he didn't feel like dealing with your crap? IF HE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE GIVING you mercy? IF HE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE GIVING YOU ANOTHER CHANCE? It's obvious that God does not go BY HIS FEELINGS. HE GOES BY HIS WORD. God obeys the very word he told you to obey. Be patient with one another. So that's why he's patient with you. Longsuffering. That's why he's longsuffering with you. Let your love cover a multitude of sins. That's why he ignores yours for a little while. He never asked you to do something. Lord, y'all remember that story in the Bible? See, I'm I'm Man, man. I'm glad I only got one more story. Y'all remember that story in the Bible? I just Maybe this is fresh cuz I just read this stuff this morning. I was in the Bible this morning. I'm just letting you know.

Do y'all remember the story of the man? And it says that he owed the king a huge huge amount of money. Huge. You could put it in the category of he owed the guy a million dollars. And the king called him and said, "Hey man, where's my money?" He said, "Sir, please be patient with me and give me more time and I'll pay it all." And it says the king had great mercy and compassion on the guy and told him, "Ah, you know what? Never mind. You know, um, I got big money anyway. Just just you don't have to pay it. I'm going to release it." Then it said that that man turned right around and went to another servant that owed him $100. And and in the first scenario, it says that the king was I'm sorry, just go with the second scenario. I've been messing up scenarios, so I just need to move forward. It said that this man owed him $100. He said, "Pay me." And it says the man said, "Look, I don't have it. I'm sorry. Just give me a little bit more time." And and and it says that the man instead of operating at mercy says he put the guy in jail. You know what's always amazing to me? I don't have the money. Yes. You gonna put me in jail? Yes. So, how am I supposed to make the money to pay you back then? I never understood that. Okay. But anyway. Okay. And so it says this, you see this, you always have to look at the outside audience. God is always telling you when you do these things, there is an audience watching you that will tattletail on you. The Bible says that there were a group of people standing by that observed this and then went back and told the king, you know the guy that you forgave all of that? Yeah. He wouldn't forgive somebody of $100. And then the king brought him back in. He said, you wicked servant. Now, let me get this right. I let go of your $1 million and you wouldn't let go of a hundred. So, now I have changed my mind cuz you reap what you saw. We putting you in jail now until you can pay for everything. And how many of you know that as you are in jail, you are not getting ready to come up with a million dollars unless you got an international cartel ring that you are hooked up with behind the scenes. See, so there are some things that you are holding against people that God let go of and didn't hold it against you. If anybody owes you money and they can't pay it, just let it go. Because the Bible says, "What good thing you do for another, the same shall you receive of the Lord." If you let it go, God will let it go. Oh Lord, it's flooding me. This is the Holy Ghost. The Bible says you will be judged based on how you judge people. That's why I'm very very nice to people even if they do me wrong. I'm extremely kind. I'm extremely forgiving. When people say I did them wrong, I know I didn't do them wrong, but I still ask the Lord if I did them wrong. I'm extreme. Anybody that will tell you that I abuse people, they are a lie from hell. Because I know God is watching how I talk to my wife, how I talk to my kid, how I talk to my the the people that he has entrusted me with. He watches how I talk to the people who do me wrong, stab me in the back. He watches how I deal with the individuals that are running my name through the mud on social media, and I don't clap back. You understand what I'm saying? Amen. I'm glad you understand what I'm saying cuz I don't understand what I'm saying. I forgot what I was all saying, you know.

So, it's y'all, you know, one of the things I'm really tired of this going to be like a dagger. You know what I'm ready to start doing? I'm ready to start telling people don't get married. I'm really am. I'm being serious. Now, I better clean that up. All of the YouTubers are like, "Wait a minute. This might not be a drill. This might be the one thing we can use to take this brother down." I'm just tired of spouses that won't treat their spouse right. I understand you going to get into it for some time and not see eye to eye, but you should carry yourself in such a way that if you passed away, your spouse would have a difficult time recovering. You understand what I'm saying? I'm just so tired of married couples all the time. They just need prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer. You don't need prayer. You need to act right. You need See, but guess what? If you don't have a revelation, if you don't have a revelation of the afterlife, you may not be able to be a good husband. If you don't have a revelation about the afterlife, you may not be able to sacrifice yourself as a wife because you think you're going to lose out. It's It's not until you get a revelation that for eternity I'm going to be judged based on how I treated my wife and how I treated my Are y'all following me? And so, I'm that close to cutting off all counseling when it come to marriage. Read a book. Read the word. I don't need husbands love your wives as Christ loves the church. And women see that you respect your husband.

Here's another one. When you get married, your body no longer belongs to you. So when you get married, both of y'all become slaves to each other. If two slaves get married, it's a cool marriage. If two masters get married, it's a problem because masters always want to be served instead of serving. I think somebody said, "Why bother?" But most people get married because of what they need. What? You know, my son may not appreciate me saying this, but I think my wife asked him, "Why did he want to get married?" Guess what this boy said. He said, you know, he said, "I want to be a blessing and take care of somebody." That's what my son said. Not what I said when I get married. When I got married, I was like, "Well, she fine, so I just, you know, my Oh, I'm sorry. So, you know, there are there are moments of difficulty because I I remember a man of God said he said leadership is you climb the mountain by yourself. You see what's at the top. you come back down to the mountain and try to drag everybody up there with you because they don't like to climb, you know. So, but well, he's already Can I just finish this last story? I'm just amazed at how none of this is in my notes, which is a good thing, I guess. They told me some preacher said that he remembers everything he preaches. I'm like, I don't. If you remember everything you preaching, it's probably because there's not that much Holy Spirit in it. I don't remember nothing of what I preach. I had to go back and listen to the sermon myself to see what was said.

For three years. Oh, this is a good one, y'all. Y'all ready? This is This is dangerous. For For three years, there was no So, let me say this, y'all. I cut some people tonight. The Holy Spirit has the band-aids. Let me tell you something. I am the type of individual that if I'm off and there are pending investigations against me and if I'm off and Satan is planning things for me, I don't like crashing. See, the problem is when you wait too long to get on top of a thing, then you get into the Judas era where now you are disqualifying yourself for future because you waited too long to change. And that's what Satan does. He will inspire you to tell you you got time. It's not that deep. I mean that's amazing thing. Jesus turned to Peter and spoke to Satan who was already standing there listening and whispering in Peter's ear. And then Jesus said, "I see you." He said, "But your problem is you try to get everybody to look at things from a human point of view." Cuz how many know um it is not human to love somebody that did you wrong? Only gods can do that. That's why your father can do it. And he told you to do the same thing. Oh Lord.

For 3 years there was no war between Aram and Israel. Then during the third year, King Yhoshaphat of Uda went to visit King Ahab of Israel. During the visit, the king of Israel said to his officials, "Do you realize that the town of Ramothgilead belongs to us and yet we've done nothing to recapture it from the king of Iran?" Then he turned to Jehoshaphat and said, "Will you join me in battle to recover Rayoth Gilead?" Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, "Why of course you and I are as one. My troops are your troops and my horses are your horses." Okay, that's another thing about marriage. You shouldn't have your own. Mine is yours and yours is mine. Ladies, ain't no such thing as yours is yours and your husbands is yours. See, they keep creating all of this dumb stuff. And this is why marriages don't work. If mama ain't happy, nobody is happy. Well, last time I checked, if the husband is that happy, the whole home is not happy either. Where did they come up with this stuff? I'm mad at you, so you got to sleep downstairs. No, you go sleep downstairs because you're the one that's mad. I'm sleeping in my bed. I work. Now, my wife and I have never had that problem. We've never asked each other to leave the room. I'm just saying, where does this stuff come from? You mad at your husband. He got to go sleep with his parents in another house. You must be crazy. YOU GO SLEEP WITH YOUR PARENTS. You go get a hotel. That's our thing. This is our house. is not my house and it's not your house. That's right. If my wife is a stay-at-home mom and I make the money, it's not my money. It's our money. One made the money, but it's ours. Y'all follow me?

Jehoshaphat added, "But first, let's find out what the Lord says." That's wisdom. So, the king of Israel summoned the prophets, 400 of them. How many know that's too many prophets? Three is too many, let alone 400. You take these many fools to convince you all to do something, right? 400 of them and asked them, "Should I go to war against Romeo Gilead or shall I hold back?" They all replied in unison, "Oh, look at this." Unity. They all replied, "Yes, go right ahead. The Lord will give the king victory." But Jehosh, now now these were the king's prophets. Now, his boy apparently was more with the Lord than he was. Now, I want you to think about this. 400 men speaking, but you sense all of them are off. Never be moved by the crowd. Be moved by the truth. Or the crowd will deceive you. So I don't care how many people support homosexuality and lesbianism. That's the crowd. Amen.

Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there not also a prophet of the Lord here? We should ask him the same question." Watch this. You got 400. I just need to know if it's one from the Lord. The king of Israel replied to Jehoshaphat, "Yeah, there is one more man who could consult the Lord for us, but I hate him." See, your hatred of the truth will cause you to embrace a lie. The Bible says the Old Testament is written for a learning. So whenever you're reading these Old Testament stories, it's telling you about how things work in our New Testament era. He said, "I hate him." Listen to why he hat. He never prophesies anything but trouble for me. Wouldn't it stop living in sin? There's some people that's that crazy. They want to they want to do it wrong but get right results. He never prophesies anything but trouble for me. His name is Makaya, son of Imla. Jehoshaphat replied, "That's not the way a king should talk. Let's hear what the man has to say." So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, "Quick, bring Makaya, son of Imla." King Ahab of Israel and King Jehoshaphat out of Judah, dressed in the royal robes, was sitting on thrones at the threshing floor near the gate of Samaria. All of Ahab's prophets were going in prophesying there in front of him. So they waiting on this one guy. Meanwhile, the show must go on. One of them, Zedekiah, son of Canana, Canaan. Yeah. Can Kaa made some iron horns and proclaimed, "This is what the Lord says. With these horns, you will gore the Aramians to death." All the other prophets agreed. Amen. They said, "Go up to Rayoth Gilead and be victorious, for the Lord will give the king victory." This is a whole show putting on about 400 guys. Meanwhile, the messenger who went to get Makaya said to him, "Look, all the prophets are promising victory for the king. Be sure that you agree with the culture and agree with him that everything is going to work out just fine." But McKay replied, "As surely as the Lord lives, I will only say what the Lord tells me to say." When Makaya arrived before the king, Ahab asked him, "Meakaya, should we go to war against Rmoth Gilead or should we hold back?" Maya replied sarcastically, "Yes, go up and be victorious, for the Lord will give the king victory." But the king replied sharply, "How many times must I demand that you speak only the truth to me when you speak for the Lord?" Here we go. Then Maka told her, "Well, since you're asking, in a vision, I saw your entire army scattered on the mountains like sheep without a shepherd. And the now he's seeing the vision twofold. He's seeing the vision in earth, but he's also looking into heaven to see what caused this happen. Caused this to happen. And the Lord said, "Their master has been killed. Send them home in peace." "Didn't I tell you?" The king of Israel exclaimed to Joseph, "He never prophesies anything but trouble for me." Then Mia continued, "Listen to what the Lord says. I saw the Lord sitting on his throne with all the armies of heaven around him on his right hand on his left. How many low? That's a killer look. And the Lord said, "Who can entice Ahab to go into battle against Rayoth Gilead so he can be killed?" And there were many suggestions. And finally, a demonic spirit approached the Lord and said, "I can do it. I'm getting ready to tell you something that's going to make you jump off your religious train. There are some demons that have been cast out of heaven, know that they are going to hell, but are still willing to do the work of the Lord. That's a whole separate teaching. Go back. Finally, remember there were many suggestions. Finally, spirit approached the Lord and said, "I can do it." Now, remember the Holy Ghost and angels don't lie. So, this is proof that this is a demonic spirit. How will you do this? The Lord asked. The spirit replied, "I'll go out and inspire 400 prophets to speak lies." See, this is insight into the level of that realm and how one can control thousands. Y'all got real quiet on that one. I will go out and I will inspire all of Ahab's prophets to speak lies. You will succeed, said the Lord. Go ahead and do it. So you see, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all your prophets because the Lord has pronounced your doom.

Now when you see stuff like that, you have to think about this for a second. You're like, now when you backtrack, it seems, remember I told you, Satan can't get you with evil, he gets you with good. This is 400 men that you hired to be on your staff to give you wisdom and direction in times like these. Out of the 400, not one of them disagree with each other because all 400 are under the influence of one. It is perfect agreement, but it's a flatout lie. So if one spirit can influence 400 at the same, now watch this. and the prophecies. You remember the guy that created the horns? Yeah. It was a demon that convinced him, "Go over there and create these horns." And when he says, "You will gore the Aramians to death." Yeah. That's what he heard in his mind. So you got 400 pre preachers with this theatrical production just telling you're going to walk in victory. It's a demonic spirit lying about the future. My God. And God, watch this. under the direction of God. That messes with your mind, doesn't it? It messes with your mind big time. But but they do stuff not based on your little natural laws in the United States of America and Earth. Think about that. I want you to envision you got two kings sitting up here with their royal throne on their royal thrones and all these fancy robes and 400 people is a lot of people to be talking. I mean this is this is going on for a while. It probably went on for hours and they just they coming up with prophecy about prophecy and it's all for the purpose of telling the king you are getting ready to destroy great victory. I mean prophecy after prophecy after prophecy coming from one demonic spirit who's speaking to their mind. So you need to be you need to think twice before you say was in here because sometimes what you're venting in here I mean out of here came from somebody else who planted it. This is the reality of we're we're not we know what I mean by we we're not teaching these things correctly. So as a result of that there are many Christians that mean well but don't know that the stuff that's flying out of their mouths and the actions that they are Yeah.

I want y'all to think about something. The Bible says that there is a day coming where Satan and his entire army will be put in in prison. It's called the bottomless pit. It is a pit underneath planet Earth that has no bottom. When they throw you in it, you're stuck to the wall. That's why Satan said, "Lord, I'm coming after your throne." God said, "Wrong." He said, "I'm going to throw you into the pit to the sides of the pit." So, this is a prison where you are stuck to the side just like this. You cannot move. Okay. The lawyer, what was it 23 days in hell? 23 hours in something like that. When he got caught down there, he said, "No, that was another guy." Anyway, he said that this several people have been caught down the hill and they said when Jesus came and rescued them, they said you come up this long tube and they said that these creatures there's all of these, you know, the Bible talks about demons that are in the bottomless pit right now um being held there. And he said that as you're coming up, he said you can't see what's making them stuck. It's like they're meshed into the wall like a prison. And he said horrific creatures beyond your imagination. He said, "You're going up this tube and it's all you see." He said, "It's just thousands and thousands and thousands of them." He said, "They are so evil." He said that even though they're in the prison as you're coming through, they want to get at you so bad. He said that their fingers are twitching if they could just get to you. We don't No one in this room, including me, understands evil. You understand bad behavior, but you don't understand evil. Okay? Any thing that you see with drug dealers and terrorism and all that type of stuff, yeah, that's the beginning level of evil. That's not evil. Okay. That's them being influenced to the evil. Evil. Never mind. No, I was just going to say the evil has a limit when it comes to using me. And we can only go they can only go so far when it comes to that because when you go to hell is when you experience evil, then you understand what evil is. Okay? And so, but I don't plan on having that understanding. You I I will accept the word of the Lord on that. And I already told the Lord when it come to experiences, don't be taking me to hell over nothing. And he didn't really listen to me because he gave me an experience. Let me tell you something. I told you I was listening to the sermon I was cutting up. Forgot I had shared about my visionary experience where I was allowed to like fly over the area like the beginning area. There's no words to comprehend. Um, you can't I'm any You're I'm at a loss for words because I'm at a loss for words. And you know, there's one thing when you're burned with fire on planet Earth that's different. I You can't explain. I just So, I'm going to leave it alone because I can't explain it. So, let's go ahead and finish this.

So, y'all understand this. It's a very powerful principle when you realize that there is another world and that world is greater than this one. has more beings than this one. Has more technology than this one. More detail than this one. Ooh, more focus than this one. Everything in that realm is 100% focused. 100% focused. Rarely are we 100% focused. Okay? But they are focused 100% of the time on you. And that guy was suspended above New York. And he said there was a demon on the shoulder of almost every New Yorker whispering thoughts in your ear. That's why you could always admit. How many know that your mind goes many different places? You did not send it in the course of a day. All right, let's finish this. Y'all glad y'all came tonight? Oh, Lord.

So, watch this. I got to finish this fast now. So, how many know the it's bad enough that you have a creature assigned to you and these thoughts are coming to you. You can only tell he is there when the thought does not line up with scripture or what Jesus would do. There is no other way to tell except through through your thoughts. They speak to your mind. They whisper in your ear and words produce images. Y'all got that? But here's the sad part. Then the Bible says that there's one more thing that's working on your mind. Watch this. I love God's law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within my body. Oh, what a miserable person I am. Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God the answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is in my mind. I really want to obey God's law but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin. So what he is saying is is that you the real you. Let me read the next scripture first because that's the last second to last one. So I say let the Holy Spirit guide your lives then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. the sinful nature which is your body. Remember, you got saved, not your body. You got saved. You are not a body. You're a spirit that lives in a body. You got saved, not your body. So, the sinful nature is still in your body. Can I tell a story right quick? Y'all out here now. So, they're like, "No, you the one out here." The word spirit also means master. cuz you are the master. Follow me. The Greek word for body is slave. Are y'all following me? So, you're supposed to tell a slave what to do. That's why you're supposed to tell your body what to do. You ever seen a boxer? He got knocked down too many times and he spoke to himself. Get up. Get up. He was speaking to his body. Okay, y'all got that?

So, let me tell you a little quick story. This is very, very quick. Before Adam sinned, the master was in charge of the slave. Y'all got it? Okay. The body was completely 100% submitted that so much so that the man didn't even know he was naked because his spirit man was made in the image of Christ and it ruled and dominated his emotions. His emotions were 100% like God. He was a master and his body fell in line 100% period in every single area. The body would not die. It had no negativity. It did not get tired. All of those things. Adam and Eve didn't even go to the bathroom. That's a whole separate teaching about the body that they fell into what it became after it died. Y'all got it? So, the master is fully alive. And because he's fully alive, he puts the slave in check, which is his body. Y'all follow me? Then Adam sins and the master dies and the slave goes free. Y'all follow me? So now since the slave is free now, the slave has come up with a different idea. I'm no longer under the authority of the master. Now I can do whatever I want to do. Y'all follow me? The Greek word for body is slave. Okay, now I can do what I want to do. So watch this. The slave has been free for a long time and then mysteriously the master is raised from the dead. Are y'all following me? The master is raised from the dead. If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. So the master shows back up to the house and says, "I'm back. And and now a slave is like, "Yeah, I'm not trying to be a slave again, though. So, I'mma fight against you for the rest of your life. The sinful nature wants to do evil. Why? That's what it was used to doing from birth, which is just the opposite of what the spirit wants. The spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting against each other. So you are not free to carry out your good intentions. But when you are directed by the spirit, you are not under the obligation to the law of Moses. When you follow the desires of your body or the sinful nature, the results are very clear. Your body always wants to sleep around. Your body always wants to do things that bring about impurity, including eating all of the wrong food. Your body loves lustful pleasures. It loves to make itself an idol. It loves sorcery, hostility, fighting, gossiping, jealousy, outburst of anger, selfless ambition. Dissension. Dissension is you stay. Descension is you no longer you feel you special. You don't need to be a part of the group. I'm going just worship God at home because y'all too low level. That's dissension. Division is you stay in the group and produce division. Envy, drunkenness, wild parties. How many know before you got saved? Oh, you love the party. Party. I shouldn't have done that. I keep doing it before I think about it. Sitting up watching them stupid Martin videos, wild parties, and other scenes like this. Let me tell you again as I had before. Anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the real you along with the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Watch this. There is no law against these things, but there are laws against the other ones which cause pending investigations. I wish I had have made this up, brother, in my private time. I did not. So, you don't want to thank me. Just maybe I thank me for listening, but this none of this stuff was in my notes except for the scriptures. Okay? So, again, the real you is born again. You are the master. Now, y'all understand why Paul said, "I beat my body the way you beat a slave. in order to force it to submit cuz it does not want to submit cuz it got used to being free. You understand what I'm saying? See, it's much easier to handle these things when you know where it's coming from.

There's a young lady, I think week ago or so, I'm preaching this and all she kept saying was, "I am not crazy. I am not crazy." For the first time, she realized, "I am not crazy. Nobody told me that there was a monster that's in my mind all day long trying to get me to do stupid stuff. So you cast, how do you handle this? You cast down negative images. When it enters your mind, you got to throw it down. You ask God to help you with mercy and grace every day. Ask Lord, help me to keep my mind. Watch this. He said, "Your mind will be in perfect peace as long as it stays on me." Before you get ready to do anything, think about Jesus. Yeah, I don't think he would like me saying that. Think about heaven and fix your thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, pure, excellent, and worthy of praise. Stop imitating the ideas and opinions of the culture around you. Be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God's will as you live a beautiful life. So you must also go back because some people were taking pictures of it. Okay, this all. So you have to re see one of the issues in Christianity is that we are fighting a war casually. Do you think it's wise for us? You see what we doing overseas right now? Terrorists are not afraid to die. When they do what they do, they don't do it. They are they they come at you full weight. Full weight and will blow themselves up. They will send rockets. What they are doing over there um against Israel is unbelievable. They don't care about citizens, everything. So, we're supposed to go to war with them with a water gun and a bat. I was watching uh I can't remember this guy's name. Is it Cam Newton? The football player that dressed like he on Esther sometimes. Okay. So, I got him right and he was doing an interview with another guy. I don't know who this guy is. Um, but he it's a it's a middle-aged black guy. Usually wears a baseball hat and he uses profanity, but this man got a bunch of wisdom. Say who? DC Youngfly. Is he about my I don't I if you said his name, I don't know it. But but he uh he he the man I don't even know if the man is saved or not or if he is and he's just not that mature. But this man has a serious amount of wisdom concerning the times and common sense. He was on Cam Newton's show and Cam Newton was he was talking about addressing things in the culture that are wrong. And the guy was saying, "Hey man, so you you you you out." He said, "I'm sitting up here listening to a song and this guy is talking about putting his thumb in the butt and and lesbianism." He said, "I'm taking my little girl I'm taking my little girl to school. Why I got to hear about lesbian stuff when I'm taking my little girl to school? What's his name? Charleston White. Okay. Charleston White. Charleston White. Okay. He seemed like he could have, if that's the right guy, he seemed like he definitely from the streets from back in the day. You can tell he from the streets. Yeah. Yeah. Text. Yeah. And so, but the brother got I don't know if he saved or not, but when that brother speaks, that man got a lot of wisdom. He talks a lot about relationships and and sometimes you this, so I don't know. So, but but Cam Newton said to him, he said, "Yeah, that may be true." He said, "But the problem is the approach." And I never forget what he said. He said, "When you dealing with evil, you can't worry about the approach. It was just so powerful what that man said. He said, "Evil is sitting up here telling us it's okay to turn our men and the women and turn these girls out and turn them into prostitutes and smoke weed and get high." He said, "This is what they trying to do to us." He was talking about day. He was talking about evil. He said, "And you worried about the approach?" So you got to match weight with weight. When someone invisible is doing everything they can to kill you, you better learn how to fight on purpose. Whether the sun is shining or a tornado is coming or a snowstorm is on the way, you have to get up and fight. Whether you feel it or not, whether you're being attacked or not, whether you're full of joy or full of depression, you better learn the principles of whatever is in my mind is not real unless it lines up with what Jesus said. Sometimes you got to talk to yourself. A lot of

Times men, you should do something that David said. Sometimes you got to do what David said. You know what David said after he slept with that woman? He said, "Lord, I make a covenant with you with my eyes that I will not look upon another woman."

And you got to do that nowadays because they shoving the women right in front of our face all day. You can't even go on Fox News or CNN without seeing a woman with a tight dress on. This is up in our face. Up in our face, up in our face. And the enemy is doing this to try to break us down as men. Now they breaking the women down, too. Y'all just as crazy.

Every time I see something that looks good, guess what I say in my mind? I have made a covenant with God that I will not look upon another woman. Amen. You got to learn how to turn your head when you see something. We ain't even moved away from YouTube yet. You know what I'm saying? We ain't talking about television.

Sometimes my wife and I are watching something and if it's a really really like crazy, especially when I'm by myself, crazy crazy sex scene. Fast forward. Now I got a little granddaughter in the house every time she walk in the room. Pause. That girl imitates everything. Boy, she if you say it, she going to repeat it. That girl is too smart. Go to the next one. Let's finish this. I only have one or two more just to mention the

Now, let me tell you something. when these are the things that will allow you to help darkness come against you. And this is what they use. Pornography, ungodly music, foolishness and sin on social media, certain types of movies and shows on television, certain types of people in their life. Remember remember they were listening to Jesus and Peter. So they definitely listening to you.

They watching what you watch, coming up with a strategy. They're listening to what you listen to, coming up with a strategy. They're looking at your friends to give your friends ideas and suggestions about what you should do. And that movie that's on our website, the LGBT thing for two months that I taught on. And I remember one, it was 12, it was a movie. It's free. It's 12 people. They went into the lifestyle. Six ladies and six men. And I remember what the one girl said. She said, "I never had a thought like that in my life." She didn't need one. She said, "My friend dared me to kiss a girl."

And she said, "I did it. Came a lesbian next week." So sometimes, oh Jesus, sometimes if Satan can't get to your mind, he gets to the mind of your friend. A lot of times we do stuff cuz our friend. How many have gone someplace because your friend wanted you to go? You were minding your own business? How many you helped somebody move that you didn't plan on moving? How many when you in sin, you went to the club that you didn't plan on clubbing? You tried the marijuana and the drugs that you didn't plan on trying. All because of a friend.

There's a man in scripture, his friend showed him how to trick this girl into his bedroom so he could sleep with her. He said, "Pretend like you're sick." You remember that? See, this stuff is in the Bible. You think it's just me. No, you're late. that's doing this foolishness in the man. Before I really read the Bible, I thought all of this foolishness out here was new. Then I read the Bible, I was like, "This stuff is old. They were acting a fool even crazier back then." We still have not caught up with a whole city this gay. That's how they were rolling back then. When you go back and read it, it wasn't just that city. It said the whole region had become that way. So God said, "We're going to kill them all before it spreads to the whole world." It's the only reason why he killed Sodom and Gomorrah. He said, "This thing is spreading. If we don't stop it, it's going to spread to everything."

Y'all want to hear a crazy story? This is where we end. I know I don't need to ask the question in this place. Su the Indian gentleman that we follow. He look like Moses, you know. He always wears I'm serious. He always wears an orange robe and he look like Moses, you know. And he said he he had an experience where he was caught up to heaven and he said there are a lot of councils in heaven and elders. And he said there's one particular council in heaven that was made up of King David, Abraham, um Elijah, um Jeremiah, particular council he said and he was allowed to witness this in heaven. He said there there was a council meeting in heaven and two angels were in I believe Amsterdam and they were giving a report. He said, "You can't explain the technology." He said, "How the angels are there, but they're also in heaven at the same time." And they're given a report about what was going on in Amsterdam and that um and you know, I think Amsterdam has a high level of prostitution and stuff. And so what you say? Yeah. Ritike district. And so they were given a report about um what was being done to the underage children. And so they were given a port report. And Sadu said, you know, how many know Elijah was crazy? Okay, very boisterous. He said, Elijah stood up and banged his uh hand on the table of light. What is the church doing about it? And then the angel said, "Sir, unfortunately, the church is involved in it."

Remember pending investigations. And you want to hear something deep? The two angels that were reporting about Amsterdam are the same two angels that were reporting in Sodom and Gomorrah. Crazy, ain't it? So, um, and so the angels had been sent to Amsterdam to give an investigation. And so, uh, y'all want to hear what the what the outcome was when they found the church, they told the angels, "Destroy the churches." Don't y'all remember the book of Revelation Jesus said to the churches, "If you don't get your act together, I'll blow your candle out." Sound like mafia talk, doesn't it?

So, as we end, I'm just encouraging you all guard your mind. Now, this whole month will be about the mind. Um, you have to guard it and this was important to go first because you have to guard your mind once you get ready to start developing it. Now, we're not talking about developing it in just regular education. Just go to your school for that. We're talking about a mind that can do what Jesus did. When Jesus cursed the fig tree and it died in one day, disciples were blown away. Jes said, "What you blown away for?" He said, "You can do the same thing." I'm tired. I got tired of reading that. I want to know how to do that. See, if you can make something living die, then you can make something dead living. Understand what I'm saying? It's a and and and and right now Satan is trying to figure out how to destroy this. He is. It's a long time since Satan has seen something like this on this side of the world. You got lots of crowds, but you don't have lots of power. And you don't The crowds are going to church, but the crowds are not being the church Monday. You're supposed to be able to walk into your job or they're like, "Oh, here he comes again. We don't know what is it about this man. What is it about this girl?" We just stay on another. What is the They should be coming to you, you know. Quit walking up in there. Quit walking on the job carrying the Bible. It's so big you can't even get it through the front door and and acting all crazy with all the spiritual terms. Walk like you own the place. Even if you are the secretary, they'll know. It's something I can't figure it out. They just different. So that's where we're going. But I encourage you to do something till we meet again over the next couple of days. Ask because the Lord I think the last scripture I didn't put up. If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God. If you need wisdom, ask your generous God. He'll give it to you. He won't rebuke you for asking. I think it would be wise for all of us to begin to ask who is working behind the scenes tricking me. Lord, I would like you to reveal to me what if God knows who is tricking you, why wouldn't he tell you who's tricking you? Lord, I'd like to know the areas that Satan is tripping me up in. What is what are the things that he has enticed me to do? Or what are the things that I am doing that is giving him all of the ammunition and gasoline that he needs to mess me up further? Lord, why do I keep going around in circles and circles again? Is it maybe because somebody got a chain around your neck pulling you around the circle?

I'm telling you, I have I haven't mastered it, but I have come close to ignoring what's in here. Even if it is right, doesn't mean I'm supposed to say it. I have to be very careful. See, right now, I'm just being honest with you. I'm pretty close to coming out publicly and saying I'm not accepting anybody's invitation for anything. I'm pretty much close. you. It would blow your mind to know now all of a sudden now it seems like I'm the new popular thing that everybody wants me to come speak now. Everybody wants me to get on their show. Everybody, radio shows, television shows, Christian and none alike. New programs, podcast, they coming at me every single day. Literally, I'm not saying they're all wrong because of it, but sometimes they're being influenced by the dark side. Okay, we can't get that boy. We can't get that boy with sin. We can't get him with pride. He listens to the Holy Spirit too much. So, let's flip it. Let's see if we can get him to outwork himself. So, now what we need to do is we need to influence people around the world to give him invitations to speak so that he'll burn himself out and hopefully end up in a hospital. So, that's why I said with all of this newfound fame, Yeah. cares not. Amen. Those can be tricks. There's a man in scripture by the name of Epaphroditis. Paul said, "Hold him in high regards." He said, "He got sick working too hard." Then it says, "But the Lord had mercy on him." Which means he was out of order. If he can't get you with evil, that's why you should acknowledge the Lord in all your ways, including the 1300 speaking engagements.

Amen. only one. I've only when it come to churches, I've only taken one. And the one is a little small itty bitty church in Florida. Little small church. See, but I like that because that's how you keep your integrity. You don't go to something because it's big or small. You go to something because the Lord told you to go. I like going to the small ones because those are special. The one of the worst things that I heard, I can't mention the pastor's name because every single person in here knows his name. One of the worst things I heard was a little small church that said, "We wanted that speaker to come, but we couldn't afford the $10,000 price tag." So the little church that sent me the invitation, I told him, I said, "I'm paying my own way. Y'all keep that." And so it enter the ministry. Udipo told me that. He said, "Sometimes they give you an honor." He said, "Make your make sure your seed to the church you speak at is bigger than their honorarium." See, these new cats don't know anything. All I knew is I'm going to get a YouTube video and talk about pastor over because I don't agree with that tongues situation. I don't believe we are gods. I believe that we are regular humanistic sl you go ahead with that. See, so I'm I'm and so as I demonstrate this, I'm teaching you be careful whether whether you are a success or whether you in the hole. Just keep it. Okay? Don't be moved by anything. Don't be moved by the lack. Don't be moved by the prosperity. Just keep on pushing. Keep on climbing. Keep on seeking God. Keep on practicing living right. If you fall, get right back up and get back to going again. Doesn't matter if you've been consistent at the gym for three months. If you lose your mind and eat ribs and hamburger and ice cream for the next week, how many know you messed up? But you did not cancel out three months of work. But once you start down that path, Satan's trying to keep you on that path. till you mess up 3 months of work. That's why it's very important for you to get up really fast when you messed I didn't teach about 1,300 messages in one. So, we going someplace. I don't know where it is, but it's definitely up. Okay.

But I just want you to remember everybody in here, your value is pl the value that's placed on you is the same value that's placed on the son of God. God sees you that way. The angels see you that way. The Holy Spirit sees you that way. And the kingdom of darkness sees you that way. The only the people that don't see you that way are humans. And it's because they're human. Let's go ahead and stand. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. You keep hearing this. You keep applying this. You going to wake your way. You going to work your way out of just being mundane. You're going to work your way out of Thank you, oh Lord God. Let's put up these few scriptures here. All of us must die eventually. Our lives are like water spilled out on the ground which can't be gathered up again. God doesn't just sweep life away. Instead, he devises ways to bring us back when we have been separated from him. You know, everything about the Bible is telling you how valuable you are. I mean, I want you to think about for a second. How many you know the Holy Spirit seems to be one of the most important individuals in all of eternity? Yet, you're not here to help him. He here to help you. which let you should which should let you know how important you are cuz he is your helper. We don't help him. How many you know the helper always has a lesser status than the one he's helping. Jesus, I'm being in the skill trades. He went to school and he has a helper. The helper is not on the level as the one he's helping. The secretary helps the CEO, but she's not on the level of the CEO. See, that's messing with your religious mind. Who am I when the Holy Ghost has been assigned to me along with the angels? Hebrews chapter 12, I believe verse one says that angels are given to us as servants because we are the heirs of salvation. behind the scenes there. One of the things you will be allowed to see on the other side is the wars that the angels fought over you with the demonic realm. Wars. Wars. You like all of this over me? Mhm. The Lord must wait for you to come to him so you can show his love, compassion. Go to the next one. I've swept away your sins like a cloud and scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Turn to me. Oh Lord, I've paid the price to set you free. It's so funny how you can read these things at every service and in one moment it hits you differently. I've paid the price. I'm just using bonics. If you ain't nothing, why is God paying a price for you? So let me get this right. He pays a price to get you saved and goes through all of that just to get you saved and is now going to easily reject you because you made mistakes. That's what you're telling me. Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight. Hose joy for those whose record the Lord is clear of sin. I enjoy living my life in such a way where Satan is losing concerning the war over me. I take great pleasure in messing up his plan. I take great pleasure in knowing that there are armies that are after me. You got the same weight. I'm just saying that because of my responsibilities, they figuring out right now, we got to figure out a way to stop this man. I'm telling you, demons have told me that. They said, "We figuring out a way to stop you." They said, "Right now, we can't." They said, "But we've been assigned to look for every crack." You know me are crazy. Well, keep on looking, fool. I'mma turn the light on so you can see clear. But anyway, if you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by accepting the Lord in your heart you're made right. And it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. So, if you're here or online and you need to give your life to Christ to get on the winning side, why do you think the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:4, "Satan has blinded the minds of those who do not believe." You got to think about that. How in the world does Satan blind my mind and prevent me from accepting Jesus Christ by all of the lies that he has been whispering in your head? That word blinded, it's the word computation. It means to come up with a formula that has an answer. This plus this plus this means God is not real. You didn't have a natural father. Plus, you were molested and you don't have a degree. He puts that in your head to let you know that your value is less than the individual that runs a Fortune 500 company. Your grandmother prayed plus you prayed, but she still died from cancer. Therefore, God does not exist. I got into a debate with a guy who became an atheist because the Lord didn't heal his grandmother. But the Lord, it was Satan planting the thoughts in his mind. Maybe your grand was tired of your little raggedy behind and want to go to heaven. If you need to give your life to Christ, this is the prayer. Salvation, rededication, restoration, born again, saved. All of that means the same thing. We're just going to give God thanks in here. And if you need to pray that prayer, you have to pray it out loud. Whether you're in here or out there, you got to pray it out loud. But we're going to give you a moment to pray it while we lift up our hands and give God thanks for the insight that the Holy Spirit has given us. The insight that the Holy Spirit has given us. Lift your hands and give him thanks. Thank him for grace to keep you on the right track. Thank him for increasing your discernment to be able to ascertain when the enemy has planted thoughts in your mind that cause you to think a particular way, that cause you to feel a particular way. That's one thing about me. I don't know how I feel good or bad. I just keep on plowing. Thank you, oh Lord God, for those that are giving their life to you, recommitting to you today. Thank you for helping us to understand. Holy Spirit, bring to our remembrance these things. Help us to guard our minds. Thank you, oh Lord God. keep our eyes open against the great blinder. The one who always attempts to blind our minds from believing the word of salvation and rededication. Believing the word when it comes to walking in love. Believing the word how you want us to be prosperous and to be healed. Believing the word. He is always blinding our mind so that we won't believe some part of the word. In the name of Jesus, we thank you oh Lord God for opening up our eyes, opening up our ears, opening up our senses. We thank you oh Lord God for doing these things in Jesus mighty name. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you oh Lord for you this well.

Let me do this. Um we're going to go ahead and let you all go. It was a great night tonight. Your situations are going to change as we move over into how um what we call supernatural intelligence. Yeah. Yeah. You watch this. Uh Yale and Harvard are disqualified for this level. I know you've been you you've been reading that book. That book is phenomenal, isn't it? Oh, you finish it. It's a crazy book, isn't it? If every person in here could read that book, we we'd be on a different level of thinking. Well, I don't know if I can get it over here. What's the name of the book? Towards Intellectual Excellence by Bishop David Odapo. Yeah, I got to figure out a way. I need to ask him if he would give me permission to reduplicate his books over here because many of these books you can't you can't get them over here. They No. But it's called towards intellectual excellence. What it really means to have the mind of Christ. You can have the mind of Christ with a GAD. And I'll thank the greatest professor that got more more degrees in a thermometer. The mind of Christ has nothing to do with worldly education. It's above it. Oh Lord, Amazon is going to call us. That's interesting. My wife said you can get it on Amazon. So, I hope they don't sell out cuz now about 2,000 people just heard that. It's called Towards Intellectual Excellence by Bishop David Odapo. Great book. Great book. Okay, I'm going talk about this weekend. That level is how George Washington Carver was able to do what he did and how those three women were able to give NASA the information and the mathematics. Yeah, people have blamed it on this. It wasn't. Both of them admitted that it was the Holy Ghost and having the mind of Christ. But your school does not want you to know that. So they leave that out. So they never told you there's a book called The Man Who Talk with the Flowers. And it's about George Washington Carver getting up at 4:00 a.m. to spend time in prayer in the woods. And the Lord broke the peanut down into six categories and had him put it back together because out of the peanut you can make anything. Because technically you can make anything out of anything. They don't teach that in school. But imagine having that mindset in your household. I'm telling you. Hallelujah. Okay. What am I supposed to do? Oh, the door is open. Uh if you're a first- time visitor and you got a couple of seconds, just step out of the aisle. Just walk over here so my wife and I can just introduce you all, introduce ourselves to you just for a moment. If you're a first- time visitor and you have time to stay, if you don't, just come back next time and step back out again. Let's give a hand to our first time visitors. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. All right, just put up that one QR code. I'm not going to do any other announcements except for
