Hey you guys, I'm sorry for the extreme globe. But Miley went point out, and man, the enemy has really been trying to, like, get me from sharing this message because I randomly, like, all of a sudden got really sad, and nothing, there's nothing that made me sad. But I want to share a revelation with y'all, but I got tonight. And, um, both where I really get into what I want to say. Happy birthday to me and my brother David. Saying we made 21 today, so we got the same birthday. That's awesome. And thank you, Portia, for sending this today. I got this in the mail today, and me and her were talking about it a couple days ago, 'cause she lives up, she knows I love coconut. And she got me a coconut tree Avon set, the body wash, you know, the body butter, and the body spray that I've been wanting. And she got this for me. The Bath & Body Works, though. Thank you, Fifi. I love you. And the stuff smells amazing.
But anyway, so this is what happened tonight. I was babysitting all day today. I babysat my nephew. And, um, I was washing the dishes at the house I was at, and I just kind of, I put my nephew to sleep and everything, and I was like, "Okay, I finally got some quiet time to, you know, finish reading my book." While I didn't finish it yet, but, you know, I just saw 1:33. But anyway, so, um, I have to read this, y'all. All right, I'm just gonna go ahead and read it to y'all. And I'm gonna get to the part that, uh, my little revelation part. And everybody needs to hear this because this is the true gospel. Okay, we're gonna start. Okay, how's that? Right here.
Second Corinthians chapter 4, verse 11: "For we who live are always delivered unto death to self for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh." Through death to self, we can expect the life of Jesus to be manifested in our human bodies. The life of Christ here is not only his fruit, but also his ministry, as we shall see. Those who teach that we cannot expect the life of Christ in this life are deceivers. Those who preach that as long as we are in this body, we will always be in bondage to sin, are deceivers.
Second John 1:7: "For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, even they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh." When Jesus physically comes again, he will have a glorified body, but he is coming now in the flesh of his body of believers. Those who preach that our ultimate hope here is only to be forgiven and not transformed are deceivers. Paul explained that as he was revealing a mystery with the words, "Christ in you the hope of glory," in Colossians 1:27. He said that the wisdom in this mystery was to present every man perfect, complete, or mature in Christ. That's verse 28. Christ in you has power over sin and the curse around us. As we come to realize the purpose of Christ is to live in us, our faith in what he can do in us and through us grows exponentially.
I don't know what book that is, but it starts with a P, and I don't think it's Philippians. But anyway, that the fellowship, and in Greek, fellowship means sharing in common, of thy faith may become effectual in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you unto Christ. As we accept the mud of Christ, which is the Word of God, remember Jesus is the Word. It transforms us. Romans 12:2: "And be not fashioned according to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." And you may, I'm sorry, yeah, and you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
If we do not repent, this is where the revelation is. Well, it blew me away. I don't know who's gonna blow you away, but repent. In Greek, means change your mind. He says, "If we do not repent when we read the word, if you don't change your, you don't change your mind as you're reading the word, we do not accept the transformation to the life and work of Christ." The first thing we must believe is the gospel. Galatians 2:20: "I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer I that lived, for Christ living in me. The old me died at the cross, and now Jesus lives in me." Faith in this justifies us and entitles us to the power to bring it to pass. Because many do not understand this, they believe we have no hope, that to continue in sin and count on God's grace for forgiveness.
Romans 6:1-4: "Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we live any longer therein?" Notice that because of grace, we do not have to live in sin. But are you ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death, that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. When we were baptized, the old sinner died and was buried. So now we can walk in new life. For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. By faith at baptism, we both die and resurrect. Neither a dead man nor resurrected man can sin. Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin. Through faith, we died, and now Jesus lives in us. We were delivered out of the power of darkness, as Colossians 1:13 mentions. This is the real good news. This is the gospel.
Now, as I'm reading this at the house, I'm reading, you know, and this, I've been telling y'all about this book in my past, like, couple videos. And this book is amazing. I love this man. I can't, I have a strong, like, I love truth. I love righteousness. I love holiness. And I love wisdom and knowledge and understanding. Whoever this man is, David, deals, y'all. I've had to, like, I've had to pause reading this book. I've had to, like, put it down just to, like, meditate. Everything this man is saying in this book is, it might be, it confirms everything that God put in my spirit. Every single thing. Everything I've taught y'all, you're about to see. So I'm reading this, and I got confused because I've always read scriptures where, you know, it says how we got, or the old man is dead, and you know, we got to sin. And, you know, first John 3, even though God, like, kind of gave me revelation in part on that about not sinning, those part of God did not stand. I still couldn't understand it. It doesn't, like, well, I'm like, "Well, obviously I have a relationship with him." And I, I did all this other stuff. So what does that mean? And before I even read this, why I asked that question before I read it. But it's like Jesus answered it in the next line.
"We are only free from the power of sin if we believe it." I was like, "Really?" And I just sat there. I was just sitting on the couch, and I was just thinking. It just blew my mind because I'm talking to God out loud because, you know, he's speaking to my spirit, he's teaching me. But I'm like, "I asked him, I said, 'Are you serious?'" So it's really just that easy? Just believe that you're not a sinner anymore? And me and his relationship, it's kind of funny because I feel like he was just looking at me like, "Did you really just ask me that?" No. And that cut me so deep, in the right way, though. Because I guess God has been speaking to a few people. I said a couple recently, one of them was Damon. First, you know, he kind of got on my behind. And then last night, it was Cece, my sister in Christ. So I'm close to. And both of them told me how negative I am all the time. Oh, of course, I took offense to, you know, I got mad or whatever. But I read that, and I just kind of asked God, I'm like, "So that's, that is that what's wrong with me? Is that why I'm like this?" 'Cause I, 'cause I don't, it just kind of clicked with me that I really did not fully believe the gospel. And I'm gonna write down what Jesus told me. You know, I wrote it down. But it's just, and it's so funny. I actually, I says, "That's all it takes is for you to believe that you're not a sinner anymore." And he said, "Yes." And that thing, you told me that, this is what Jesus told me. He said, "If you truly believe the gospel, your mind would be free." I stayed confused. Some of these in past tense, but I was always confused, mentally tormented. I was just thought I really condemn myself all the time. It doesn't matter how much I surrender to read the word, you know, made videos. I just always felt like I was doing something wrong. I could never really just see myself in a positive light. That's loving everybody was sending me these birthday gifts, you know, they're all like, "Oh, you deserve a Brandy, you deserve it." And I couldn't believe it. I really could not believe it. I don't care. I thought it was like, all my subscribers don't care. Of all y'all came and told me, I couldn't believe it for nothing. I feel like I didn't deserve it. I mean, I thought, "Don't cry, do not cry." I mean, it just really had me thinking because I did have a very negative mindset. I can't, I can't like fully blame it on other people because I do have people in this house that they are constantly talking about my weight, or "You need to lose weight. Don't, don't eat this. You're getting too big." You know, this. I have negative people around me, so that has a lot to do with my negative mindset as well. But I can't fully put it on people because when it comes to my walk and Jesus is telling, I didn't believe that gospel. That's, that's wrong on my part because the Bible says, "With the heart we believe unto righteousness." So it's a hard thing. And it freed me. But it just kind of, when he told me that, I'm like, "You mean to tell me I've been keeping myself in bondage simply because I haven't changed my mind?" He said, "Yes." You will believe, or whatever you choose to hear is what you're choosing. But let's say you raise a child up and you constantly tell them, this child, they're weak, or they're ugly, and they're just gonna be like their dad, just like that dad, you know, they're gonna grow up believing that because that's what they're constantly hearing. So the Bible was telling you, Jesus died to free you from sin. You're free. You don't have to sin anymore. You're free to serve God in a fullness and freedom, you know, in liberty. You know, how many Christians don't believe that, even though it's right in front of a face? Or their scriptures that says we're supposed to be perfect, mature, we can do it, you know? Or this. All of this was just coming to me. But it just, all I could think about was how I stayed miserable because of my own unbelief. It's a mind thing. And it's kind of crazy. I had a Damon moment. I messaged him just a few minutes ago. He's up and not back. I remember I was watching his perfect video, and he was telling, or he was just saying how after meaning that the conversations, my perfection and stuff, he went to the Father, you know, talked with him about it, and it was like a revelation just got downloaded into his spirit. And he was saying how God had taught him this a long time ago. I guess it just kind of slipped away. That's exactly what happened with me because as Jesus is telling me, this is, it's like I already knew this stuff. And that's what, that was, what's tripping me out. I'm like, "I know this. I teach this. Why is this just now clicking with me that I wasn't believing this entire time?" That's why I had such a negative mindset. That's why I always looked down upon myself and down on others. Why, you know, why am I just not getting this? And so anyway, I'm just, I'm just gonna go ahead and read what Jesus told me.
He said, "If you truly believe the gospel, your mind would be free. You're an unbeliever. That is why you manifest the works of the flesh, and the power of God is not active in your life. God works with faith in his Word, which is Jesus. Without faith, it is impossible to please him. Doubt this pleases God." I'm gonna try to break down all of this and make it done. But the cross is foolishness to them that perish. He said, "It's a mind thing. You don't believe you have the mind of Christ, and that is why you're always conflicted and confused. Your spirit man wants to burst out, but your unbelief won't let it. Faith is what moves mountains." It's not a lot, but it's just the revelations I was getting as I was writing all this down. It just kind of opened my eyes that much more. And he taught me all this a long time ago. That's why I'm just sitting here like, "How where did I go wrong?" That I remember being on Facebook and just receiving this revelation probably like a year ago, and I'm typing it, you know, and I'm just telling everybody. I said, um, I said, "You believe that job is gonna be a sinner? Then you don't really believe the gospel because Jesus said he came here to free us from sin. If you're free, if you're up, you're still sinning, you're a slave to it, you're not really free." I remember typing all of that. I didn't know where it was coming from, but, you know, now I see it's in this book. Obviously, he's confirming it to be true. So this is something that he's already instilled in my spirit. I was just trying to figure out why did I not eat it? Like, what? I don't know. But I'm just, I just kind of learned tonight that faith is very simple. This entire thing is very simple, but it's foolish to those that perish. And he was, that's what he spoke into my spirit. He said, "You were perishing mentally. You were drained. You were dying because of your unbelief." And me, and though it's a common, a common thing that God teaches us that, you know, Satan only has as much power as we give him. That's true because all the power that Satan has is in unbelief. He can't do anything with a believing Christian because a believing Christian believes the promises of God over everything. You don't have no room for doubt. That's the only way the enemy can really get into your mind like that, through unbelief.
I just had so many scriptures popping up in my head as he was telling me this, like, um, first of all, I had to kind of, I was joking with him about me and my wisdom because I always thought myself to be wise, not, not like that, but obviously I do have some wisdom, you know, from him. But, you know, see the scripture where it says, "You have to become a fool in order to become wise." And I did tonight because I couldn't receive something so simple. It's very simple, just believing. Why is it so hard for us to do? What is so hard for us to believe what the Bible says? It's like we always have to challenge something. We're always questioning it. We're always, you know, it, it's really not that hard. Just believe it. Let me, let me see if I can come up with a scripture that nobody likes you to accept. How about, "The wages of sin is death." We know that the consequence of sin is hellfire. Yeah, we keep sinning. That's insane. Does it make any sense? If we really believed that hell was the consequence for sin, we would stop sinning. That's, that's true. Because there's a big, I don't know, tarp, it maybe it's a tarp, it in front of you, and somebody says, "Hey, don't put your foot in there, you're not gonna come out." No, you're not gonna put your foot in unless you have a death wish or something. But I mean, you're not gonna put your foot in there. But all of this stuff is just. And when he told me, "The enemy," I'm sorry, but when he told me, "This is why the power of God is not active in your life." It resonated with me because God can only work with faith. It doesn't matter if I have an intimate relationship or not, or how much knowledge you have, how much wisdom you have. This has to be someone who not only believes the gospel, but they stand on every single promise that the Bible says, period. Everything. Just believe it. And there's so true about the mind thing because I've heard before, their repentance means change your mind. But I can't, like I say, I guess I just never really received the revelation like that. If you truly believe that you're not a sinner anymore, you're not gonna want to sin. You, you know, you're gonna feel free, you're gonna feel relieved. 'Cause I did tonight. I was overly, like, joyous today or tonight when I received that revelation. It's a mind, it's everything's a mind thing. If you're miserable and you're unhappy, if it's something about your thinking pattern. I mean, unbelievers can receive this. It's like, so we can't even receive. And we're crazies. My unbelievers will even tell you that you've got to counseling. They're gonna say, "Well, change the way you think about yourself." That's what they're gonna tell you. They're gonna tell you to change your mind. So you don't pay like $600 to go to a counsel with what the Bible tells you for free. Renew your mind. Of course, it's gonna be done in Christ. But the secret behind that is, if you repent, which means to change your mind, and you're renewing it with what the Word says about you, if you really believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that he died for your sins, and that he resurrected on the third day, and you are forgiven, if you continue abiding in Christ, and you continue in his Word, that's what he says. "And you continue in my Word, then you are truly my disciples." But you're not a sinner anymore. If you truly believed that, you would feel liberty. You would not want to sin. You wouldn't feel bound to it. You're free. You're free. Do you believe it? I mean, you're free. Change your mind. All the negative. You're a new creation in Christ. Believe it. It's our thought pattern that makes us this way. We're not gonna have any excuse. We get to the throne. And this is not like a condemning message, but I mean, that it's true, though. You're not gonna have any excuse because he already tells us, "The unbelieving are already condemned." You're already condemned if you don't believe. And I would honestly believe if I would have never got that, I would have been condemned because I wasn't believing the truth. I wasn't believing the gospel. He taught me. But for some reason, I don't know why I didn't eat it. I don't know how that even transpired. But he taught me this a long time ago. I knew all of this stuff. Your change comes by the renewing of your mind. Your perspective is gonna change. Your perception. Everything about yourself, about other people, about life, if you believe what the Bible is telling you about yourself, about the Father. I couldn't even believe that God loved me. I knew it. I know the Bible said God loved me. I knew my past visions and experiences I've had with him where I've met him, I've felt it for myself. I just couldn't believe it. So it doesn't matter how much you know if you don't believe anything that you know. And he told me that, he said, "I've taught you all of this, you know, but it doesn't do me any good to keep teaching you stuff, you know, because I keep asking for wisdom." And so I always ask the Lord for that. It's very beneficial. But he said, "It's no good for me to keep teaching you if you're not gonna believe anything I'm telling you." And that's why he tells us to dust our feet with people who don't want the gospel. We can preach somebody's head off all day if they don't believe anything we're saying, it's gonna be non-effective. Because we see it non-effective in a Christian's life, so what is it gonna do for them as sinners? They're sinners. Do you know it? We're Christians, and it's just blowing my mind because even the scripture, and this is another thing I couldn't understand, you know, how he says, "And these signs shall follow them that believe." And always asked like, "Okay, well, why can't I like do miracles? Why can't I cast out devils? Why can't I do this and that?" Now I know those signs follow those people that believe. There's not a lot of people who truly believe they're not sinners anymore. There's not a lot of Christians that believe they're free. They're still, they're still bound in their head. As a man thinking, so is he. The Word doesn't lie. It's simple. It's really that simple. I couldn't believe it. Then he told me how he reminded me how he uses the foolish things that confound the wise. And I remember that being in scripture to where, I don't know if it was the Jews or the Greeks, it was somebody in the, um, the New Testament. They, it was just foolishness to them. The cross is foolishness. That perish because they were all about philosophy, I think. And when they came and talked about Jesus being crucified, "Oh, you're free now, just believe in Jesus." This man down on the cross. They're like, "Like, what are you talking about? Like, that's stupid." You know, they're so used to law, I guess. But as he was telling me that tonight, it, I got a chance to experience that. I did kind of think it was foolish. I had to ask him, like, "Are you serious? Like, it's just that simple? That's what's been wrong with me this whole time?" "I didn't change my mind." He said, "Yes, that's what repent means. Because if you change your mind, your actions are going to change too." That's why John said, "Bear fruit worthy of repentance." If you truly bear fruit of changing your mind, you're not gonna keep doing things the same way. And this, this is nothing new. I mean, that's why I'm saying everything I'm saying, y'all, you probably like, "Okay, I already knew that." I knew it too, but that's the thing. I didn't believe it. You know, that makes all the difference. A lot of people know about Jesus. A lot of people believe he exists, but they don't believe in him. They don't believe his Word. In order for Christ to truly walk through people and perform his ministry and his miracles and his power, you know, establish it throughout the earth realm like he did when he was here, he would need people who are true believers. Do you really believe that all things are possible with me? That's the kind of. And this is so crazy because Cece was just telling me this last night. She told me about how negative my stuff. She said, "You need to have crazy faith, Brandy." Of course, I'm just like, 'cause I'm a little funk that night. But even Portia, I just, I just got home. They didn't have internet where I was, but I just read Portia's kick message right on time. Everything Portia's saying is confirmation for everything I read tonight. And she tells me, coincidentally, she said, "Don't let the enemy steal your joy today." Right when I got home, I was excited to do this video 'cause I was so just like, overboard. Got the enemy started attacking me already, trying to take it away so I wouldn't do the video. That's no coincidence that Portia, Cynthia, and I read it at the at the right time. Everything she said. Jesus is busy. And I really, I really am thankful because he is really at the door. And it's so funny because Portia just said that her message, she said, "He will take," she says something about him getting us ready, even if it's at the last minute. I'm just like, "She don't even know." She just said a mouthful. When I'm gonna get on Skype, I might sell this girl everything. She's gonna be like, "Man." Faith is what moves mountains. I can't even. That's the true gospel. You want to get free? Believe that you're free. That's the only way you can be free. And it's something so simple. You would think we will receive something so simple, but so many people don't. The Bible tells us, "As a man thinketh, so is he." You feel unworthy, you feel disgusting, you feel unloved, you feel rejected. Well, then you are. That's your thinking pattern. That's the way it's gonna be for you. You're never gonna change. You're gonna stay moody, you're gonna stay depressed, you're gonna stay unhappy. Push everybody away. That's exactly what the enemy wants. Let him keep lying to you. Jesus told me, he said, "You know the truth, you just don't believe it. You're believing lies." He said, "It doesn't matter where the lies are coming from. It's not my Word. And that's the problem. If you're believing anything else aside from what I've told you, you will be in misery." And that is considered unbelief. And unbelief is a sin because if you want to please God, you have to have faith. Without faith, it is impossible. Impossible. That's the only thing that's impossible of me, you know? So please God. Crazy stuff. I'm sorry. I'm gonna finish reading. And then, like, I did a video on the conscience not too long ago when I had my brains in. But, um, I even started asking him questions about that 'cause I like, I like being, I was learning with him and I was talking to this stuff. But I was like, "Okay, Lord, I remember you telling my conscience wasn't pure. What does that mean?" And, uh, I wrote down, "Pure renewed mind equals good conscience." Your conscience is usually full of things of the past, things that you feel guilty of, condemnation, just impure thoughts because of your thinking pattern. These are things you're constantly dwelling on. But if you believe the Word of God and you renew your mind with the Word of God, you're abiding in Jesus by doing that. Because that's faith in Christ. That's what it means to abide in Jesus. You have faith in Him. Your heart is being cleansed by the blood of Jesus as you do that. That's what he told me. And that will, that will result in a pure conscience. I wonder how many people know this. I mean, 'cause I mean, as long as I kind of, I've been saying, you know, we're constantly learning, but this is the gospel right here. Change your mind. You know, simple that songs. Just change your mind. Submit yourself to Jesus and renew your mind with the Word of God. Then you're gonna start seeing some power. You want to see God's power? You want to cast out demons and heal the sick and perform miracles? You need some crazy faith. You need to believe that you are who God says you are. Not your feelings, not your emotions, not your thoughts. Cast down every thought and imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. So let me keep reading. What else did I write down? Who this man in this book? Okay, Missy. Yeah, "We are only free from the power of sin if we believe it. We can now use these promises as the two-edged swords to destroy corruption in our lives." Second Corinthians 7:1: "Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God." We are responsible to cleanse ourselves by faith in the promises. That's how you're cleansed. It's not a question of, like I said in my other video, this is the new revelation. So, like I said, I kind of knew in part my sinless in this video, and now I'm getting like another part. So the same way I said in that video, I said, um, "It's not a question of whether you can be perfect or not. The question is, do you believe you can be?" You say that somebody's gonna shut everything out. Well, what you trying to? We can't. I mean, they're letting you know right there, they don't believe they can. And I told, this is so funny. God taught me all this a long time ago. I was arguing with someone on Facebook like a year ago when I got this, this perfection revelation and stuff. And that's all he kept saying, "What do you mean? He just kept saying, 'Nobody's perfect. We can't be perfect. We can't be perfect.'" And I kept telling him, I'm like, "That's exactly why you won't because you don't believe it." You know how many times I posted the scripture with God, "All things are possible"? And he just kept ignoring it. I said, "That's the problem with us. We don't believe." Well, I said this like a year ago, but we don't believe the Word. How can we ever expect to get anywhere in life or change? All we don't believe in God. We can't claim God or claim a faith and not have faith. That doesn't make any sense. That's stupid. That's a dead church. Dead. That's why you don't see the Holy Spirit moving like he used to. There's very few Christians with true faith. They don't believe that the Bride of Christ. They don't believe they're the true church. They don't believe they're the body of Christ resurrected, dead to self. They don't believe that. Instead of, instead of us seeing as Christ living through us and that's being dead, we see it as us trying to be like Christ. It's not about you anymore. As long as you keep singing about you, you're gonna keep messing up because your focus is on you and not on Christ. If your focus was on Christ, you would be perfected in conforming to his image because that's the only way you can be transformed. You're never gonna be able to do nothing on your own. You're never gonna be able to be perfect by yourself, by you doing this, this, or can't do this. Always so hard. Oh my God. Okay, good. Take your eyes off of you and put your eyes on Christ. And the second you do that, before you know it, you'll look back and there'll be like, a huge difference. That's where your mind is supposed to be. Mind of Christ. Mind on Christ. Okay. Oh God. And this is, look, I wrote all of this. This is what Jesus told me before I even came to this page. And continue reading because I told you I had to pause. I was flipping out. Remember? I told you Jesus told me, "This is why you manifest the works of the flesh. He said, 'This is why you don't bear fruits of the Spirit, Brandy. You don't believe. You know a lot, but you really don't believe what you're teaching. You don't believe.'" And I'm just kind of sitting there like, "Oh my God. I could, I couldn't believe it. I'm like, 'That's what I've been doing wrong this whole time, Lord?'" He's like, "Yes, you could have been free a long time ago. Your mind is just not." Oh, you know. And this is crazy, but before I even read this, I wrote that. And look what this book just said. "Those who believe the promises will bear fruit." That's how you bear fruit of Jesus. That's why he said that his own, his burden is not heavy, or his yoke is light. That's why he said that because the gospel is very simple. It's just foolish. It's foolish to them that perish. It doesn't make any sense to us, but it's not supposed to because it's something that you have to believe upon. That's why he says you have to have childlike faith. It has to be. You can't be, you can't be all grown and be like, "It don't make no sense. I don't believe that. We're not gonna sing him." What? It's just not that simple. It is that simple. That's what's wrong with you. You don't. He said, "You don't humble yourself as a child and have that kind of faith. You're not gonna enter." Because that's pride, and it's gonna prevent you from entering because it's unbelief. That's why Jesus said that the gospel is very simple, very simple. And I'm just like, man, I'm just mind blown. I'm glad he told me, though. You know, give me the more prepare for the rapture. But anyway, yeah. So those who believe the promises will bear fruit. As a type, Mary believed the promise that she was to bear the fruit of Jesus in her mortal body. In Luke 1:31-35, Jesus said, "My mother and my brethren are these that hear the Word of God and do it." That's in Luke 8:21. In a type, we who bring forth the fruit of Christ are his mother. In the parable of the sower, Jesus sowed the seed. And in Greek, seed means sperma, or sperm of the Word, in our heart. Since the Word is the spiritual sperm of Jesus, it can only bring forth his fruit. No, no word from men and religion can do this. Only one of the four types that received the word bore fruit, 30, 60, or 100 fold. I had to write this down. This is so for me. This is Luke 1:45. Mary was told this is his mom before she got pregnant with him. The angel told her this, "Blessed is she that believed, for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord." That's how it is. The gospel. So the angel came and told Mary first. Remember the Word says, "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." That's when angels are here for their messengers. They come to present the Word of God to you. So in it, it is a type that the angel kind of came and gave Mary the gospel. You know, he kind of came to her first. He said, "Mary," um, or, you know, told her she's gonna become pregnant with Jesus, you know, by the Holy Spirit. And he told her what she's to name him. Now, she could have been like, "I'm a virgin. Like, I knew her. That's not gonna happen." Like, she couldn't did it. She could have pulled a Sarah like, "Oh, that's funny. That's not gonna happen." You know, but she didn't. She said, she said, "Well, you know, let it be as you say." I think she said something that was ready. She said, "Let it, let it be as you said." But see, the angel came to her first. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. He came with the Word of God, gave it to her first. It wasn't gonna happen unless she believed it. That's insane. That does show us right there that God was trying to show us that in Luke, this will only be fulfilled. All these promises God made to us, everything is says in his Word. We could talk about us being conquerors all day and how much power we got over an enemy. If you don't even believe you got the power, then you don't have it. And he sees that. The enemy can see that. He can see if you're a defeated power. This fake, unbelieving church. There's no power in you. He can't trample all over you. And that's my hands on people, churches right now because they're fake and they really don't believe. We don't believe. We really don't. We think we do, but that's crazy. "Blessed is she that believed, for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which I've been spoken to her from the Lord." That's this. Even confirms the whole predestination thing because if God is telling in his Word, or telling us in his Word, that "those who he called, he justified. Those who he justified, he also glorified." People will read that and be like, "Well, that sounds like then we're just destined to go to heaven." Then once they've always say this truth, "No one stays always say it." It is not true. He's saying, "This is what I promise you if you believe it." Because if you believe it, then you're gonna be transformed and conformed to the image of Christ, and you'll be ready. So yes, you will be glorified. We don't catch that when we read that. That's why people get so confused. And that's another thing that shows who does, who doesn't believe the Word because people who get confused over that, they're unbelieving too. They don't even realize it. This is so insane. Like, this is just so amazing. Yes, you, you are gonna go to heaven. Yes, you've already won. Yes, you are more than a conqueror. Yes, you will be glorified if you continue in the faith. Continue in the faith. Doesn't believe you continue in the Christian faith, or you continue in the Christian religion. Continue in the faith means continue in the faith. Continue believing because it's belief that saves you. He said, um, "Don't laugh at me." John 3:16: "And I don't even know about hard. I know y'all like, 'Oh my God, that's right.' But, but he's saying, um, 'Whoever believes in Jesus should not perish.'" People read that and they think, "Whoever believes in Jesus' existence." No, God promises right there in John 3:16 that we wouldn't perish and wouldn't go to hell if you believe in his Son. If you believe in his Son, aka, if you believe in the gospel, aka, if you believe that you've been freed from sin, aka, don't sin no more, aka, you're, you know, you're the spirit of liberty. Now shed off the world. Surrender your life to Jesus Christ. So God wasn't lying. He wasn't trying to confuse us with the whole, with the whole predestination thing. He pretty much set it out for us. He said, "Yes, you, you've already won." But he's talking to the true church. But the question is, who is the true church? Who are the true believers? Those who are bearing fruit. Because if you truly believe, that's the only way the Holy Spirit can do work through you. Because the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, and they're all one. And the Bible says it's impossible to please God without faith. So how can the Holy Spirit do all this stuff through us that they were doing in the early churches if we don't believe? You know, my grandpa, he's the pastor. Not gonna give my opinions on that, but I was having a conversation with him one day. He says, "I've been left his church because it is a dead church." But, um, we were talking about don't hop. He got on the topic. We're talking about demons at first, but we got on the topic of whether, yeah, casting out demons. And he told me, this is my grandpa. He's been pastoring for how many years? Since I was, I'm 21 now, probably since I was six, seven. Yeah, he's been pastoring that long. And told me, "I can't cast out demons, and I'm not gonna tell somebody that I can heal the sick or I can catch see." So I'm not gonna tell somebody I can do that when that's not my calling. All I could do was look at him like, "Did he really just say that?" When the Word says, "And these are the sons that shall follow them that believe me." I don't have room to talk, obviously, but I'm just saying that was confirmation because God was pulling me out of that church for a reason. When I, when I really started to get to know God for myself, and I started learning the truth, the Holy Spirit was teaching me because he was dwelling in me. I was 15, 16, like, you know, around that age. I just started feeling uncomfortable in that church. I just felt so much discomfort in my spirit. Like, I was getting to know God more, and I was like, "Well, the God I'm learning, you know, I don't feel him here. You know, what's going on? It's different." You know, then I was reading the Bible, and I was, um, what I was reading, how, how Christians are supposed to be. I was looking at him and his church congregation was really nobody's there. It's just family members. And I did, I didn't see it. It didn't line up. And that's the Holy Spirit told me, "That's a dead church. You need to leave it." Period. And to be honest with you, if you go, if you go to my grandpa's church, there's, um, at least some fake pastors. They, they try to fake a good message. They really don't even preach there. They just kind of get up there and talk about nothing. I mean, it just, they don't make it. I'm just, they don't make any sense. I don't know what thing you're talking about, but I mean, we'll sit there good to it. The hours like hearing nothing. But the Holy Spirit told me a long time ago, Brandy, that's a dead church. You need to leave. I didn't want to, I didn't want to, like, things they worry about my family. But that's what the Holy Spirit was telling me. And the Holy Spirit, he reveals the truth to you about a lot of your family members, everybody that probably played a part in you coming into Christ. The more you mature in him, if you're the one who's abiding in Jesus, and it turns out that they're not, he's gonna expose those people to you so you can see they're really not who they say they are. You know what's so funny? I was watching G. Craig Lewis on video last night, and he brought up a scripture and Psalm, Psalms, or Proverbs, one of them. And it says, um, "The congregation of the hypocrites shall be desolate." I never knew that was in the Bible. And that's so funny because God put that in my spirit a long time ago. That if somebody is truly holy spirit-filled, and if they're in obedience, their congregation is gonna be full. I don't care. I mean, there's, obviously, there's churches where, you know, they have people with itching ears, they're gonna have a full congregation of people who really don't know the truth. They just want to hear some feel-good messages. But on the other hand, if there was, if there is a pastor who was truly holy spirit-filled, I mean, operating in the power of God and true faith and belief in Jesus Christ, God, you can't tell me God wouldn't send people in that church to hear the gospel. That congregation would be flooded. Not just with us, not just with us who love the truth, you know, we want to eat good. I'm talking about people who really need the gospel. God would flood people into that church because that's when his true kids. Some, it's very, very rare. One of his kids in this entire world that really believes in the Father, that's dependent upon him, they've humbled themselves completely, surrendered to the Lord Jesus Christ, and they're doing his work. That's all Jesus cares about. That's all he cared about when he was here. That's all he cares about now. And this is his body. Here we are, his body. So you can't tell me Jesus went and sent a flood of people into that church. My grandpa's church is empty, and a few other family members' churches I know of, empty. And I always said that. And it's so funny. I read that scripture. I never knew that was in the Bible, but I always felt that way. I was like, "There's something wrong. Either in sin or they're fake because there's nobody here, yet they're still having church." Like, "Oh yeah, praising." And no, something's wrong. Something's wrong. And then I read the scripture, "That the congregation of the hypocrites shall be desolate." That's something I think about next time you go to a church. But then you really got no members. I'm just saying. I'm just saying that's how the power of God works. You know, we may think that just because, you know, there's very few narrow walkers, that it's gonna be just a few in the church. That's not true because you haven't noticed. All of us are scattered. Everybody I'll connect it with via net, Portia, Damon, David, Cece, know what everybody I've talked to over the net that I've really kind of like bonded with, we're all like in different states. Everybody scattered. The true believers are scattered. But my point is, if you're somebody who's a pastor and you have a church, your congregation would be full because even though you're scattered, you'd be all together with your brothers and sisters who are like-minded and you know, the same beliefs and narrow-mindedness and you know, being perfected in holiness. God would send people to you because you're the person in your area or your town or city that hears the voice of the Lord. That's just the point I was making. But, um, yeah, it's really sad, man. And we're robbing ourselves. That's the Cici told me to say, "Robbing yourself." I didn't understand what she meant when she said that, but this man even said in this book, this one just.
Like I was doing some crazy stuff, but this book, man. But, um, hurry, let me see because she believed the word. She bore the fruit of Jesus. The word must be believed for it to be fulfilled in us. Hebrews four to four: "Indeed, we have good tidings, or we have had that tidings which is the gospel preached unto us, even as also they." But the word of hearing did not profit them because it was not united by faith with them that heard. We can hear the gospel but make it ineffective by our own unbelief, as Israel did by hearing, or by bearing the fruit of the same Jesus.
We are proving who the true believers are. Jesus said, "You shall know them by their fruits, not about who they say they are." How many times have we read that scripture and just thought it was talking about, "Oh, you can tell who the fake Christians are because they're gonna be sinning"? That's not even what Jesus was talking. That's what he was talking about, but when you really look at it from a faith perspective, when Jesus said you're gonna know the true believers by their fruit, he was saying the Holy Spirit can only come and work and perform through people who are operating in faith, and they're gonna be bearing fruits of the Spirit. Because you cannot please God without faith, that's what Jesus was saying.
So he's saying, if you don't see fruits upon the signs, if you don't see fruits of casting out demons, if you don't see fruits of power, if you don't see fruits of healing the sick, and you don't see fruits of joy, the joy, this, you know, this one to please the Holy Spirit. If you're feeling joy, that joy comes from you knowing that you have been freed from sin. That's what the joy comes from. Why else did you have joy? You know, that's why I saved your miserable check-in mindset. That's how I was. I'm just the fruits of the Holy Spirit are, you're gonna be kind because you're gonna, you're gonna receive a revelation, you're gonna be like, "Oh my God, I want to tell everybody about this. Everybody needs to know this. Did you know that if you just change your mind, believe in Jesus, you'll be saved?" What felt like it, she's gonna have you just like, "Oh my God, I gotta go tell everybody the gospel." But that's what Jesus is saying, "You will know them by their fruits."
So if you see some mopey Christians, yes, I'm speaking for myself. What used to be, I ain't speaking that now. But he's saying, if you see mopey Christians, you see Christians still in sin, if you see Christians still doing this stuff that the world is doing, that's not my children. Because my children are those who believe in me, and believing in Christ will bear the spirit, or bear the fruit of the Spirit. That's where Jesus was saying, "You're gonna know them by their fruits." We really need to receive that. That's not just saying you're gonna know the hypocrites because they don't be in strip club one night, then in church the next day. That's not this. You're just saying, I just explained what it's saying. I learned that tonight, so y'all can learn with me. This stuff is awesome. But anyway, um, let me see.
Says Paul showed us how to exercise this faith with our renewed imagination. 2nd Corinthians 3:18: "But we all with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit." If our face is truly unveiled, then we see by faith the finished work of God in the mirror, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Only seeing the Jesus of the word and the mirror will transform us into the image of God. Like I just said, stop looking at you, stop focusing on you, what you can and can't do, and put your eyes on Christ and what Christ can do through you. Because you're dead. You are dead. If you don't believe in Christ, you're dead in sin. And what you do believe in Christ, you're still dead. So just consider yourself dead. So when it comes time for persecution or for us, and you know, give our lives up for Christ, you're already dead. The reason why it's going to be hard for some Christians to do this is because they don't believe they're dead. That's why it's gonna be easy for an arrow walking Christian to fully surrender their life to God because they already believe they're dead. It's not about them anymore. They, but they've already accepted that. That's the kind of people Jesus can work through. It's very simple. The enemy will fight you on that.
The Jesus we see must be the one who has power over sin and the curse around us. Most Christians would think us proud to look in the mirror by faith and see Jesus. But in truth, these are the only ones who are humble to the word. This is crazy when I read that because in my sinless, in this video, did not say that. I said perfection comes about humility. Just bring my mind. I said that in my video because when you say perfect Christians, immediately think of like a Pharisee type person. "Oh, you think you perfect? Or you think you've arrived?" This is, they're gonna say, they mainly think of somebody who's very haughty, they probably got a big head. And I said, my sinless, my sentences video, I said, "No, that's not true." Because if somebody is really perfected according to what the Bible says perfection should be, that person would actually be very, very humble. Because perfection means to be conformed to the image of Christ. Christ is very loving. He was humble. He was caring. He was full of righteousness and zeal and holiness and purity. That's how that person would be. That would actually be somebody who would probably pass up on the street. That wouldn't be a big-headed person like you're thinking about. And this man just said that. This is my brother. Problems like we got the same spirit, for real. This man, he just said that most Christians would think us proud to look in the mirror by faith and see Jesus. But in truth, these are the only ones who are humble to the word. Somebody who is truly pure and perfected, aka mature, yes, sinless because you've just been freed from it, renew your mind. That person would be extremely humble, extremely. Because that's the only way you can be perfected. It's through humility. I taught that in my video. If you see someone with an arrogant or a self-righteous spirit, well, yeah, or arrogant or like a proud spirit when it comes to the word, then it's self-righteousness. It's not Christ's righteousness, and that can't save us.
"The one who sees his natural face in the mirror will have no power to obey." That's James 1:23. These are the ones who do not unite in faith with the gospel so that it can be fulfilled in them. Okay, this is Romans 6:11: "Even so reckon," which means consider it done, "you also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus." Let not sin therefore reign in your, you know what? Let me give an example. Let's use somebody bougie, for example, because that just came to my mind. The Bible was telling us they were already dead to sin. We still sin because we don't believe that. List. Okay, let's say you saw the bougie chick. Um, you rich, you told her, you know, you're gonna wipe her up tomorrow. She's getting married. She probably came in this lawn acting all broker, you know, I saw some type of way. But now she just got this information. She gonna walk up in there, bougie, right? She gonna be like, "Oh, I'm getting married now. I don't do that no more." She would, that's the truth because she believes in her mind she's getting married to this rich guy, so she don't need this stuff no more. If it's easy for a sinner to have a mentality like that just because they believe something somebody told them, why can't we do that with the word? When the word is telling us, "You're dead to sin," so why can't we be like that? "Oh, I'm dead just saying. I gotta say no more." That's how we should be. We're not like that. We feel like we're just so good. You know, that's how we get. Don't laugh at that face. It's my grandma's face. I've been doing it for years. But anyway, um, it's so crazy. This is so simple. It's insane.
"Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey the lust thereof." Notice that the weights and outlets and reign is to reckon yourself to be immune to it because you are dead. It is, it is to believe that Jesus took away your sin and that you are free to obey God. God gives power or to say from sin to those who believe the true gospel. You only have the power to conquer if you believe you have the power to conquer. It's like, I want to use it as an example, sort of, because like, it's kind of, it's very like, um, Hollywood, you know, which type stuff. But you know how like they had little witch movies and, you know, let's use Halloween time for example. Halloween Town was on tonight. You know how like they were teaching them how to like do it, you're rich, you know, like your mom's away, true crime laws, which you can do it. And they couldn't believe they could do it at first. When they really started believing they could do it, they were like, moving stuff with their hands. You know, that's really all it takes. You even believe the word.
Romans 1:16: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God." We just went over there, that's where that's where you want to see the power of God. True believers, it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who that believeth. Those who do not accept their power over sin by faith will prove themselves tares and not wheat when they do not bear fruit. Okay, here's another scripture to tell us who we are, what we are. Romans 6:17: "But thanks be to God that were as ye were servants of sin." We were servants of sin. Change your mind. You're not a servant of sin anymore. You're free. You don't have to do it no more. You became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching where until you were delivered, which you can consider that my teaching as well. And being made free from sin. He just said that. He just said you're free from sin. This is Romans 6. How can we ignore that? He just said you've been made free from sin. You became servants of righteousness. So you're not a servant of sin anymore. You're a servant of righteousness. You are the righteousness of God. You are not a sinner. When you take that bondage off of your mind, you will be free to worship God in spirit and in truth, the way you want to, without feeling guilty and condemned all the time.
Okay, then he talks about how he got a, he said, "I received the lowest email from a friend who was grieved over his inability to overcome a certain sin." Highlighted in his letter, phrases like the following: "I couldn't resist. I'm hooked. My flesh is weak. They really got me. I have no hope. No willpower. I'm defeated and I'm late." And he said, "I sent it back to him with this following note: Just because you failed, that does not mean you give up faith. You are delivered of this sin 2000 years ago. Compare what you have believed in these phrases with what you should believe." I sent him the gospel message about deliverance from sin. You have a lot of faith to stay in bondage, even in your failure. You must walk by faith in order to get out of bondage. Now, this was for me, and this is for some of y'all too, because some of y'all been messaging me and you're like, "I can't stop masturbating. How do I get over masturbation?" Some y'all message me about fornication, and that kind of didn't respond. Isn't like I already got videos of this, but this should help you too. He said, "My friend's will was against the sin, so it was not a willful disobedience. His failure was in his faith. He believed everything he should not have, and that robbed him of power." So just by you believing that you can't conquer, or conquer that sinner, just, just by you believing that you are still bound to it, you've lost power, just like that. That's why you're still doing it because you still believe you're a sinner. You don't have to.
All right, this is so, I love this man. Like I can't even, I just, I'm just like shocked because this just confirms I really do think this is God confirming to me because I've been learning his voice a lot, a lot more. And as I teach, sometimes, like when I teach, I watch some of my videos and I'll know it's truth and I believe it. But you know, sometimes you just kind of still sometimes he's still kind of wondering like, "Okay, I hope that was, you know, God." And he's really been using this man's book to confirm to me, "Yes, you're hearing my voice, Brandy. That everything you teach, that's me, straight up." Because look what this man just said. I taught this in my, um, yeah, my sinlessness video. He says, "Faith that fizzes out at the finish line had a flaw in it from the first." If we sin, there are some steps we should take to lay a foundation for our faith. "If we say we have no sin," in other words, justify self, "we are deceived." 1 John 1:8: "If we confess our sins, we will be forgiven and cleansed from all sin." We should first confess our sins. This is so, my brother, that's what I was saying when you, that's just like the main scripture that people will use out of context. They'll use John chapter 1. We'll see the Bible says that if we least say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves. I'm like, "No, that's the foundation for like 2nd John." Or no, not not in the 2nd John. I said that's the foundation for the next two chapters because you can't have him saying in the first chapter, "If you say well, you have no sin, then you're deceiving yourself," so you're always gonna be a sinner. And then like two chapters later, he's saying, "Those born of God don't sin," and those who abide in Jesus Christ said it's not. He's contradicting himself. What he was saying in chapter one is that people who say they have no sin are justifying self outside of Jesus Christ. And this man just said that. So that's confirmation for me. I was teaching the truth. Thank you. Over. Yeah.
So, uh, this is amazing. "From then on, we should believe that our sin has been put on him, and we are delivered. Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world." God's complaint about the Old Testament law was that it could not make perfect. "Then that draw nigh, for it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. For by one offering he has perfected forever them that are sanctified." That's Hebrews chapter 10, verse verse 1. You, you just heard that right? You just heard that perfectly. Remember, hearing comes by the word. I'm sorry, yes, hearing comes by the word. And, um, I just messed that completely up. Anyway, let me say that one more time. This is verse 14: "For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified." You are perfected forever. Yes. You don't believe that, do you? That's the problem right there. It's a predestination thing. But what he's saying is, remember Jesus said in John, "If you continue in my word, you're my true disciple." So we continue in faith. That's that's that's a future tense. God told me a long time ago in my video I did, I think it's uncalled realm of eternity. That's a powerful revelation. He told me we need to have an eternal mindset because we're abiding in Jesus, and he's an eternal God. We can't, we can't like, we can't think about circumstance anymore. We're not circumstance people. We are the just, and we shall walk by faith. So we need an eternal mindset. That's why Jesus said, "If you ask for something and you believe that you've already received it, then it's yours because you're not gonna get it unless you believe it. It's already there." But if you want it, believe that it's yours and that you have it, then BOOM. That's how everything works. That's how faith works.
So, um, because he already told us in the Bible, we have every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. Everything you've ever wanted, everything you've ever desired, if it's in God's will for you to have it, all you need to do is ask for it, believe that it's yours, and you will get it. You're not asking amiss. You know, but yeah, most promises, they're their future tense. Even with Abraham, that's, um, it's pretty much the same thing. You know how the Bible says, "God is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Well, we can, we could consider yesterday Abraham's time when God told him, "I have made you a father of many nations," and he had not one kid. You know, every day he looked at him like, "No, you know, I don't have any kids. You know, what are you talking about?" God was speaking from an eternal perspective. He already saw the future. That was his will. All he did was prophesied to Abraham. And if Abraham would have believed it, then he wouldn't, he would have got it. We need an eternal mindset. So Abraham, that's why they said Abraham had great faith. That's why Abraham was God's best friend, because he was a man of faith. We need crazy faith like that. He was a just man living by faith. He wasn't living by circumstance. He canceled out all scientific bullcrap. He didn't care how old he was. He didn't care how old his wife was. He all he knew is that God told him, "This is what's gonna be." The same way the angel did Mary, came, presented the word. "Do you believe it?" "Yeah, I believe it." "Okay, don't have to wait for it." "Okay, BAM, it happened." You know, that's how it works.
Oh, this is so awesome. This book is amazing. But I'm not done with this chapter yet. Maybe I'll do another video. But this video is like already like an hour long. So yeah, if y'all want like a part two. I feel so good right now. That is such a relief. That's the true gospel. You know, the church you believe in when you have joy, period. So I hope y'all renew your minds. Hope that kind of incurred, not kind of, hope it encouraged you and made some of y'all unbelievers into true believers because Jesus is at the door, and he's coming for true believers. Okay, all right.
