Well, good morning Lion Heart Church. Go ahead and give someone a high five or a hug. Tell them you're glad to see them this morning. And you may be seated. Hallelujah. Cool. Glad to see y'all out on this morning. Keeping things light just for a couple of weeks before we start rocking and rolling. You know how many you know anything things start smooth and then the devil shows up and then you have to pack him pat him back down. I think I got just a tad bit of feedback up here. So um I don't know if you can hear it back there or not. So y'all doing all right this morning? I said is it maybe a vacation going on or is it some sports wise something going on this weekend? You never can tell one you it's full one day that it's you know you got to keep on going. So I you know I'm and I am gonna well I I guess I should stop saying I'm going to keep it light but I plan on keeping it light you know I just want to uh encourage you all with something particularly for the ladies single ladies um uh you know unfor I normally don't name drop but since he put himself on social media I just thought I would use what the man said as a warning to single women that are Christian here listening online and for you all that will listen in the not not too far distant future. And so I'll just be kind of blunt. Most of y'all know who Nick Cannon is. You know Nick Cannon Nick Cannon runs through women like kids do after going trick-or-treating with candy. I'll say that bluntly. That's not a proud That's not something to be proud of is that you create keep creating babies from all of these different type of women and then they end up missing out on true parent. You know what I'm saying? But that's the world thinking. But he said something that really really bothered me. He was being interviewed. I just saw this yesterday. And so this is just a warning. It's a warning for the single ladies, but it's a warning for us all. And uh it really bothered me what he said because the host asked him. He said, "Out of all of the women that you've been with, um, which was the one that you really really regret losing or that you really really fell in love with, whatever." And I can't remember her name, but apparently it was one of the first ones. And then he said something I thought was so crazy. He said, "That's the only woman I chased." So that means all the other ones was giving it up too soon. Too soon is before married. But he said that, now here's the problem. He said, "That's the only woman I chased." He said, "I chased her for three years." Okay. And so he said, "I chased her for three years." He said, "It took that long." And then he did this, you know, because, you know, she was like really into her Christianity. He did just like that. He said, "So, I couldn't believe he said this publicly on social media." He said, "So, it took me three years." He said, "I finally got to her through the Bible." That's what he said twice. No, I'm not kidding. Okay. He fell. I finally got through her through the Bible. He said, "That was my way in." So, he's doing that whole pretend thing. And that's the last thing he said. That's the last thing he said. Yes. He said, "I finally got to her." And he said, "I used the Bible to do it." And so, uh, so that's a warning. It also is a warning that Satan will work on you a long time. He work on you a long time. When you say no to Satan, he doesn't hear that because he knows most people that told him no, he eventually got them to say yes. So you have to be very careful and you have to hold your ground with these things. And and see, so guess what? So she she was and he said it. He said she was really into it. Like he said she was really religious with that Christian thing. He did like that. He said but my he said but he said I started pretending like I was with the Bible and and that's how I got to her. So is obviously he got what he wanted and he left her hung out to dry, you know. And so just be very very careful. There are always things that the enemy is using and some of them will be real stupid. Sometimes he will hit you with something that you're like, why would you even try? Well, just in case you lost your mind today. I mean, he does that type of stuff, you know.

And so, you know, I had two weird things happen to me this week. So, you know, we were at the house and in the evening, you know, we right across the street is this like park. So kids go over there, play on the play skate, play football, that type of stuff. And so there's a group of young kids out there and then ding dong, you know, and and after how many know after a certain time when your doorbell rings, you're like, okay, don't let this be any foolishness. And so we all look like who is ringing our doorbell at this time? So o open up uh open up the door and two of the cutest little Hispanic girls you ever seen in your life. I mean, they look like little models and they could be in the future. I mean, just gorgeous girls. And they standing there and one of them said, "Uh, I never seen these girls before in my life, by the way. I know they were playing across the street with some other kids." And so, they're standing there. They probably had to be, I don't know, maybe maybe eight, nine, something like that, maybe. And one of them said, "Um, can my my friend, she got to use the bathroom really bad. Can can we come in and use her bathroom? I stepped out. This is actually how I did it. Yeah, y'all not coming in my house to use the bathroom. So, we had this happen before where two girls came across the park. Ring dong, can we use the bathroom? And the other one said, make sure you go upstairs and see what they got. Yeah, like eight, nine year old gangsters up in this just I just like that. So now here's the deep part is that they rang the doorbell and when I said, "Yeah, y'all y'all not coming in my house to do nothing, let alone use the bathroom." And I said, "I don't think your parents would appreciate me letting y'all in my house." And I was like, "Okay." And they went right back over to the apartment, start playing. What happens if you have to use the bathroom? Right.

Then I got a call. Then I got a call from a guy yesterday who does visas. You know how sometimes in order to go to certain countries, you have to have a visa. Y'all ready for this one? This one is good. This is a masterpiece right here. This this this this this is one of the best ones of all times. Called me. I said, "Yes." He said, "Hey, I was wondering if you could possibly do this guy a favor." And so now this is a this is the owner of a visa company. And I said, "I'm already." And I see you know see certain cities that you grow up in like Detroit and Chicago Spidey sense just kicks on as soon as you you know I was like I was writing Walmart. I just paused. I said here we go. Y'all ready? He said yeah you know I got this guy and and his his boyfriend lives in another country. I said strike one was me answering the phone call. Strike two was I got a boyfriend that I'm trying to bring another country. And you know they were wondering if they gave a donation to the church that because some countries in order for them to get over here it was like that we're going to Nigeria you have to have to you have to be invited over. So you have there's some type of program some type of conference and and those conference leaders have to write a letter saying that you are you want to come over here for the conference. So, they were hoping that they could give a donation and that uh and that you could write a letter um saying that you were having some type of church program and that you know you were inviting them to the church program. So, let me get this right. You called me to ask me to first of all do a lie. Yeah, that's right. That's right. So you want me to lie? That's right. About a person I don't even know. That's right. To bring his boyfriend from another country. That's right. Over a fictitious conference. Yeah. And they going to give me a donation if I do this. That's right. And the words of my father. Guess what my words were? Ask Jesus when you get to heaven. Tell them to keep their donation. They'll need it more than I will. He busted out laughing. He said, "Yeah, I figured that was going to be the answer." See, you figured it was going to be the answer, but you decided to test me. So, you have these. So, when you're on the up and up and you're getting ready to do things, you have these little sneaky things that happen. These little these little baits, new people. Yeah. Game. Little two little girls that want to use the bathroom. No, you're not using the bathroom. I And I almost said this. I didn't. I said, "You might want to go on over there to them bushes." That's what I almost said. Okay.

So I'm just encouraging you is that you know Bishop Oapipo said this. He said wherever the sons of God are, he said the sons of Satan are hanging around also. And so ladies, I just just you know it's the same thing for men. Um single men usually don't have a problem with that. Married men can. But single ladies you know you know these guys out here in the streets yuck mouth living foul doing all type of stuff that they want to do. But then when they want to kind of settle down, they start looking for a woman that's not in the street. See? So, and then and then Nick kind of said out of his own mouth, he said, "Yeah." He said, "It's just" He said, "I'mma probably do it again." He said, "Cuz I think the boy been married. I came here. I haven't done the boy been married." He said, "I just like the idea of it and all of that." So, he said, "I'm gonna probably do it again." And yeah, you just damaging women, damaging women, damaging women, damaging. And see, and then mysteriously someone like that will get hit with something. You know what I'm saying? Mysteriously die. Hello. Oh, rest in peace. No, he got judged. Men, how many know the Bible says God will hinder your prayers if you don't treat your wife right? So, what happens when you just running through women destroying daughters of God? That's probably one of the best things that I've ever heard. She was God's daughter before she was your wife. And he was God's son before he was your husband. Yeah, I'll just start. I might have to actually write that one down. That was that was high up in there. You want me to come up You want me to lie and come up with a lie in order for a man to bring his boyfriend from another country. And I don't know either one of these ashy dudes. As they say, I was born but not yesterday. Hey, so keep a very simple teaching on today just for all of us to get on top of something. there are things sometimes the Lord deals with me about and it was just we're very interesting you know I came home last night I said let me just kind of finish and tinker around with this teaching and and then then the Lord started speaking to me I was like oh wow and then I fell asleep and then he gave me a dream about what he spoke to me about and then when I came out of the dream he then spoke to me again um the because of the hell video that we watched last week the original title was Jesus is not a god gossiper, neither does he murmur and complain. That was So, we may hit part B of that next week. But I decided to turn it over into the power of words. One of the things that the Lord dealt with me about very strongly last night, I mean, I just I would wake up, he'd talk to me. I'd write it down. Then I'd go back to sleep and have a dream, get up, write it down, and then he would talk to me. I probably woke up about five, six times last night, and it was all the Lord, you know, nothing else. And so, and the Lord was dealing with me very, very strongly about how his children are still extremely uneducated when it comes to the kingdom of God. And he said, especially with words.

Now, let me recount the story right quick because some of you heard me share this story before, some of you haven't, but uh there's a book called The Vision by Rick Joiner. And and in that book, the Lord told him, I mean, in this the whole book is one vision. And the Lord told him in the vision, go into another vision, walked through that door. He said, "I'm going to show you why I'm raising up a different type of man in the last days." So, long story short, he walked through the door. He was instantly in a jail yard. He said that, you know, he just saw everybody in groups, you know, like you see in the jail. And he said the blacks were with the blacks, the whites were with the whites, the Mexicans with the Mexicans, the Chinese with the Chinese. He said, "And then within the Chinese, the younger Chinese were with the younger Chinese, the older Chinese." Y'all get my point? And he said, "You saw people kind of wander around trying to identify their group." He thought it was a strange jail situation or prison, I should say, because he looked at the walls and he said when he looked closer, the walls weren't flat. They were steps. You could escape to prison at any time. And then he said that he saw the fence, you know, the barbwire fence. He said, there were holes in it. And this was amazing to him. So, long story short, he climbed a wall, went to a guard shack where a man was guarding and man, you know, had his rifle like they do. And so he he walked into the guard shack and said, "This is in the vision." He said, "Excuse me, sir." He said, "Could you tell me what type of prison this is?" Cuz it's strange. So the man whipped the gun around and it was a priest with a collar and he said, "How dare you call my church a prison?" Okay. And so then, you know, in the vision, he kind of, you know, simmered that down. There was another guard shack with a with a woman. Um she was dressed up and um she had a gun. And so he tactfully and carefully asked her the same question. She whipped her gun around. And uh she said, "How dare you call my classroom a prison?" And then when he came out of that vision back into the vision, Jesus told him, he said, "It'll be the schools and the churches that keep people in bondage in the last days." He said, "But the people could free themselves at any go moment from both of them if they have courage." Okay?

And so, and so with that, the Lord just began to deal with me about how when we went to school, we were educated on facts, not truth. Okay? So, for example, it could be so you might see him and yeah, right now it's a fact that he is a drug dealer, but the truth is that he might be called to be utter apostle. The fact is you might see him as a drug dealer, but the but the truth is that he might be called to be a business. That's why the Bible says that the gifts and callings of God are without repentance. What you see a person doing is not what they're called to do. You see a fact and you don't see the truth. Well, our education systems did not teach us the truth. They taught us facts based on their experience which is limited. They taught us what they wanted us to know to keep us in the system. The system of health, bad health, the system of debt. It's like all of the important, you know, how many some of y'all that are older like and and some of well even younger now. Um but like your 30s, 40s, 50s, you're like you end up finding out um in your 40s the stuff you wish they would have taught you in high school. Like man, we just finding this out now. We up in debt and and I didn't know that this this was here and and that was there. And then you got to do a special class to find out what the government been keeping from you and all of that type of stuff. The moment you go on the college campus, they try to get you in debt. They are not trying to help you. Those commercials are wonderful. They got people riding butterflies and bicycles and the music is really cool and and people are holding hands and and you know all of the pharmaceutical commercials are wonderful. They got the nice music and people are holding hands and they at the park and they're riding bicycles and and and you watching the commercial and and you're like do you ever have a problem focusing? You're like yeah. Do you ever have a problem concentrating on one thing at the same time? Yeah. Do you ever have a problem not being able to finish your task that you planned? Husband, pay attention. I think he talking to us. And they say, "We have a pill called Thibido. Now, it has 139 side effects. So, we can help you with one issue while we produce 139." And you're like, "Oh, we need to do this." No, you don't. You need to get your behind and eat some fruit, some vegetables, drink a lot of water, and go to the gym. That's what you need to do. I saw this guy at the gym the other day. You can always tell somebody that's the first time at the gym, they stretch too much. They be doing all this type of stuff. And this guy, he was just he was just going in and I started to text you and I didn't cuz the Lord told me to stop talking about people and making fun of them. He was doing that stretching like, "Yeah, we're going to have to call the paramedics in a second. His brother's going to stretch something that don't need to be stretched." How many know when you get to a certain age, if you're not careful, you can stretch and end up in a coma if you're not careful. if you ain't been working out. Okay. So, the stuff that the Lord was dealing with about is is just that we we in this day and age, we have to leave the intelligence in the world and operate at a different level of intelligence.

Hey, and so we're just going to briefly talk about the power of words. Some of it is going to be convicting, you know, but Revelation 20 11 says, "And I saw a great white throne and one sitting on it. The earth and the sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide. That's that that is an insane scripture to me. It says there is a throne that set sits is set. God comes and sits on the throne and when he tries to sit on the when he sits on the throne, the solar system tries to run and can't find a place to hide. That is a crazy scripture. He said, "I saw this happen. I don't even know what that looks like." But anyway, the earth and sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide. I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God's throne. And the books with an s were opened, including the book singular of life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. So you see two different sets of books at the throne of God. One is the book of life. You know how many how many you believe that your name is already written in the book of life that you know how many you know that's you know that's not the time for the angels be doing some April Fool's joke and oh I was just kidding. No don't play with me. I will smack you right in heaven brother. You know my name is right in that book. Don't be playing with me. Check again. You ever seen that in these movies and never mind. Name is supposed to be in there and they say check again. M I'm making sure my name is in that book. Can you imagine what that book looks like though? I mean, what material is made? This is the most important book in all of eternity. It has in it the names of those that have been redeemed as future kings. I guar I can guarantee you it is a living book. The calligraphy will be absolutely amazing. Maybe in the book there is a picture of you, but a living picture. Okay, I don't want to get over into that because I can slip over into heaven in in a moment. But that's the book of life. Then there are other books. Okay, and so those books house the works of both the saint and the sinner. Okay. And so the sinner is judged based on what he did with his actions to determine what level of torment you have to receive. How many of you know that when you break the law, you commit a crime, you go to court and they determine your sentencing? And so in the same way, these are people that their sins were never forgiven. They never received Jesus Christ. So we have to look at what you did, how much you acted a fool, and then we will determine your judgment. Okay? But the judgment for the Christian is different. They're not judged based on that. The judgment for the Christian is we're going to do the exact same thing, but it's for the purpose of seeing how much of a reward you will get. Y'all got me? But this scripture here, you need to really pay attention to this. Matthew 12:36. you you can be sure of this. Now that's the passion translation. So whenever it says you can be sure of this in the King James it says verily verily. And in the New Living Translation it says truly truly. Whenever you see that phrase the statement after it is them saying you better believe that this ain't going to change what we say right here. That's the way of saying that you can be sure of this that when the day of judgment comes, everyone will be held accountable for every careless word he has spoken. That's a dangerous scripture, man. You will be held accountable for every careless word you have spoken. Your very words will be used as evidence and your words will declare you either innocent or guilty. One of the things that the Holy Ghost shared with me is is that people are careless with their words because they have no idea what words are and they have no idea how powerful they are. They have no idea what is released when they speak words and because we are not educated by the school or the church when it comes to words. Then what happens is that we just kind of privously say things and and and stuff like that. So, the Holy Spirit gave me a phrase. It was it was a weird night last night. Must have been that parmesan that I ate something. Okay, I'm just joking. And this graphic, he said, "For every action, there is a reaction. For every word, there is a response." Now, people have heard that, but they've heard it in limited form. So, keep that graphic up there. I think it's two of them together. For every action, I'm gonna read it again. For every action, there is a reaction in the spirit realm. And when there is a reaction in the spirit realm, there is another reaction back in the realm where that first action came from. And so what you see going on around you is the result of action, reaction, and then reaction again. That's why people can't trace it. Then for every word there is a response in that realm. So for every word you speak, there is a response. That response then makes something happen back in the realm from where that word came from. Y'all following me? This is very very important because many of things that the Lord said is that's in your life is because of how you are casually speaking. See, you know what? You know what the you know what the dangerous thing is? The stuff people sometimes speak on purpose is the stuff they don't believe. But the stuff that they casually speak is what they have faith about because it's what this what you see. You can come on. I'm the head, not the tail. You shout. Why don't you do all that? Okay. But a lot of times you just doing that because we told you to. Your real faith is what you say at the computer in your job when nobody is listening. See, your real faith is in this. And whether you realize it or not, that was a voice. That was a word. There was some stuff in Yeah. Thank you. your mind and your heart. your mind and your heart came out through that sigh and it is interpreted a particular way to bring more of what you that's why the Bible says the joy of the Lord is your strength that that and and that's just something out the clear blue the Holy Spirit just y'all going to have to pay attention to your words in these last days okay everything you see and everything unseen was created by God speaking God does not experiment he speaks Okay.

So, I had this strange dream. I shouldn't say a strange dream. It wasn't a strange dream. It was a very power. It was a very It was extremely vivid dream and it happened down the street from the home where I grew up. A lot of times when you have How many of you have had a dream and it was your childhood home? Okay. So, um that usually many of times that represents the house of God. It represents the start of something. But anyway, in the dream, in this dream, I was walking around and the Holy Spirit was illuminating that everything that I was looking at was actually the word of God. It's hard to explain. I'm looking at a tree and I recognized that the tree is actually the word of God in tree form. I remember that there was this strange looking bird. I had never seen this type of bird before. Never seen this. I thought it was a um not a flamingo. I thought it was a hummingbird, but the way it flew, it wasn't a hummingbird. And so and so but I was looking at this and just in this dream I recognized that everything came out of what God said. Uh Vincent, one of the Russian brothers, he just told me last week, he was at the Sunday location. He told me after service because I had said something and he said that the Lord gave him a vision of you know in the scripture it says is not my word like a hammer that that smashes rocks to pieces. He said the Holy Spirit gave him a vision of what that hammer looks like. He said number one, he said you know it's a hammer but it doesn't look like a hammer. He said it's hard to explain. He said the thing was in between these two columns and he said the hammer was like spinning really fast. He said but on the inside of the hammer was the entire word of God. He said I can't even explain it. And he said the word of God was bouncing around on the inside of the hammer like lightning. And so when you speak it just like that Thor hammer bam I need a hammer. Jesus. Somebody need to I'm serious man. Soon as I get to heaven, I'm like, Lord, can I get one of them hammers? No, we gonna give you a water gun because you gonna act a fool. But these are weapons, you know, that are released through your words. These are powers. These are things that happen. And and these things are very, very mysterious. Let me do this right here. How many know the Bible says that God said, God said, I'm sorry. God, and and God said, and God said, and God said, and God said, and God said. Genesis 1:31 says, "And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was good in the evening and the morning were the sixth day." So, one of the things that I don't know why it just seems like a simple message, maybe it was just a reminder, but the Lord wanted us to realize that he didn't do anything except for speak everything in here's the mystery of this. God created everything in six days. Then he rested on the seventh. What's very interesting is when you read the scripture, more exist to the eye than what he said in the beginning. Are y'all following me? Are y'all following me? So, so when he So, it's very interesting when you read Genesis, he said, "Let there be light." But then a couple of days later, he's it says that he created the sun and the moon to be lights in the sky. So, what was the other light? See? And so what you'll find is, oh God, help me. So what you find is when God spoke, "Let there be light." What came to pass when he spoke it is what was in his heart and his imagination. Y'all follow me? And so the thing that you have to understand is words are not very very simple because you hear the words, but when you speak, how many you know there's something that you're trying to convey in that word? There's a mindset in that word. There's a heart set in that world. There's a feeling and an emotion and an intent in that word. So, you have to be very, very careful because all of us are made in the image of God and we can all create. Okay? And so, here in Genesis 21:19, it says, pay attention. And out of the ground, the Lord God formed every beast of the field. Formed it. Now, that's different than speaking. Says he formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the air. Brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them. and whatsoever Adam would call called every living creature that was the name thereof. So um in this particular context God for how I might be getting ahead of myself. It doesn't matter. How many know the scripture says y'all know this God calls those things that be not as though they were. See and so he did that when he created the planet earth. So what happened is that he formed the eagle brought it to Adam to see what he would call it. And when the eagle called that form an eagle, the thing then came to life and became what he called it. Y'all understand? So then after that that's very see and that is that in of itself God brought the animals to see what Adam would call them. That's a whole another lesson right there. Okay. It's almost like God shuts his brain off on purpose sometimes so he won't know. I don't understand, you know, but but but then he brought a lion and and he set it in front of Adam and it was just there as a form like a clay model and then Adam called those things that be not as though they were. He said lion and then the thing roared and then walked off tiger. I mean it says he named all the birds. He named all the animals. This took a long time but he ain't have nothing else to do. You know what I mean? So why no YouTube special coming on or nothing like that. But can you imagine what that looks like? You know, God brings something across his path and he says beaver and and it become it. So every every animal you see walking around and flying around, it came into existence because somebody called that thing into existence. And so apparently there's something coming where the Lord is saying your words are going to have to be right. Because what people do is they change their word based on circumstances. They change they watch this. They start complaining when gas is too expensive. I never complain about the gas. You know why? Because it doesn't matter how much it is, you still going to buy it. Sitting at the gas station grumbling and mumbling while you filling the tank and all of that type of stuff. Woo. I mean, when gas was up there, I mean, that that truck that I got, that thing cost about $100 to fill up, you know, and but stop complain. See, and so what we do is is that we complain about gas, then we complain about groceries, and we complain about this, and you complain about that. I'm going to show you in a moment. The Bible says that when you do that, you actually invite the angel of death into that circumstance. Mark 11:23. For truly I say unto you, there it is again. Truly, when you see that, well, this one says, verily, it's the same thing. For verily I say unto you, whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be removed, and be cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass. He shall have whatever he saith. Now people shout, "Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. I have what I say." That's not what it said. Number one. Number two, you just made it religious. You have to be, you have to be, first of all, this is Jesus talking. This ain't your friend. Jesus is letting you know your true ability. He said, if you tap into this correctly with unlimited faith and no doubt in your heart, he said, you could stand out there in front of Mount Everest. He said, and if you have connected correctly, he said, you will watch this thing get up and move over and be dropped into the sea. Now, see, now that's very, very strong. Now the problem is is that that's very very dangerous because that works on anything that you have faith and don't doubt. And we have great faith when it comes to dumb stuff. We have great how can I put this put this way? We have great faith when it comes to doubt and unbelief. We have great faith in regards to the negative thing that might be coming. You understand what I'm saying? And and so and so we talk a good game, but the truth is is that Jesus is telling you this principle. He says, let me read it again. He said, truly I say unto you that whosoever, so this is not talking about Christians, it's talking about people. Whosoever, righteous or evil, right or wrong, holy or Satan's cousin. Whosoever shall say unto the mountain, biggest thing in the planet, if it works on the biggest thing, it works on the smallest things. Be thou removed and be cast into the sea. something that people think is crazy and shall not doubt in his heart. How many How many of you believe that Jesus tells the truth, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatever he says, whether it's good or bad, righteous or evil, common sense or not, taught in schools or you found it on your own. Y'all got me what I'm saying? And you're going to have to really take a It seems like I know this is a very simple message. Sometimes y'all want all of the deep waters all the time. And sometimes the Lord will bring something to your attention. The deep water is found in the simple mouth. And see, I can't remember everything that I said yesterday. Can you watch this? Out of everything that came out of your mouth yesterday, what percentage was positive and what percentage was negative? And I have to be totally honest with you because let me just read the rest and I'll just let's do that because you know there I don't know if y'all really like this teaching. That's okay. I already showed you the graphic. God who gives life to the dead and calls the who quickenth the dead. It means who gives life to the dead and cause those things would be not as though they were. Now the proper way is to give life to the dead. Guess what most people have done? They have given death to the life because it works both ways. You got to be very very careful. They don't teach this in university. They teach it in the medical metaphysical a little bit. They just steal all of Jesus stuff and take him out. But y'all, it is very very it's very very simple, but it's very powerful. What you keep on saying out of your mouth and you believe it, you're going to have it. There's no good men in Atlanta for you is no good men in Atlanta. I've heard people say, "You can't make money in Detroit." No, you can't make money in Detroit cuz there's a bunch of other people making money in Detroit. And so because you believe that what you said come to pass, there will never be an opportunity for you to make money in Detroit. Then they move to Atlanta. Well, you can't make money in Atlanta either. No, it's a whole bunch of millionaires, billionaires, gazillionaires in Atlanta. You can't make money in Atlanta because the poverty mindset and the force of your belief and your wars is following you. Then you go to Russia. You can't make Russia. You can't make money in Russia. No, it's lots of millionaires, oligarchs in Russia. Well, you can't make money in Africa. Yes, you do. They calling that the new Dubai. You have the poverty mentality. You have created an invisible prison around you. Wherever you go, it follows you and it blocks access. It's crazy. Very much crazy. Now, y'all ready for this part? It's hard part. I'm going to do this probably for a couple of weeks. When Holy Spirit shared this with me, I was like, I don't want to share this, but I got to. One of the reasons we are judged for our words is that they affect the person even if they are not standing there. Holy Spirit said many people have murdered other people with their words. Y'all remember that scripture in the Bible? It says that if if a man looks upon a woman with lust, he already committed the sin. See, you think it's religious. No, it's scientific. He's telling you you don't understand spiritual laws that exist. You don't know that when you lock on a woman or a man like that, what you then created in that realm that you cannot see there. The Holy Spirit told me this a long time ago. He said, "There are some people that would have never committed adultery if the other person hadn't locked in on them." Oh Lord, we going behind here. I think I'm going home early today. I think I'm going to have it. That's the truth. Only got two more scriptures, I think. Oh no, that's not true. Jesus. Okay. So, let me show you that principle about how words affect people regardless of the person can be on the back side of Tibet, but if you are talking about them in a negative way, those words fly throughout the atmosphere and hit that person. And there are some people that the Lord said are dealing with depression and they're dealing with anger and they're dealing with frustration and they're dealing with poverty because of someone else's words. Matthew 8:5 When Jesus returned to Capernium, a Roman offsprer came, pleaded with him, "Lord, my young servant lies in bed paralyzed and in terrible pain." Jesus said, "I will come and heal him." He didn't say, "I will come and pray for him. I will come and heal him." I see Robert is the only person that got the revelation. Jesus, thank you. I will come and heal him. But the officer said,"Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are and my servant will be healed." He said, "I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say go and they go. Come and come." And if I say to my slaves, "Do this," they do it. When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to those who were following him, he said, "I tell you the truth, I haven't seen faith like this in all of Israel." The man was saying, "Because of my job responsibility and what I do for a living, I understand the true nature of what they don't teach in school. I know how words work." He said, "So words work. Words are servants. They are powerful. They are they're they're material. I can tell my soldiers, go do this, and they will do it." He said, "So you don't need to come to my house because I'll have a greater level of understanding than all the peons around you." He said, "Say it." And because of the power of words, he said, "The words will fly through the air and they will touch my servant." And Jesus turned around. He said, "See, see," he said, "my own people, the Jews, don't get this revelation." In Matthew 8:13, Jesus said to the Roman officer, "Go back home because you believed it has happened." And the young servant was healed that same hour. What did the man believe? He believed in the power of Jesus' word. This man believed that Jesus, you don't have to see him. You don't have to meet him. You don't have to come to the house. He said, y'all, you got to get a hold of this. I know it's a little difficult this morning. You got to get a hold of the fact he said, "Say it out of your mouth because what is invisible is actually material." That's the thing that you have to remember, folks. Can you see the air that you breathing? But how many know we can suck it right out of this room? We all be just sitting over like this like dead frogs. And that's the thing. You're going to have to re and here's the sad part is that you're going to have to really get before the Lord and say, "Lord, what area has my word produced a curse in my life?" Some people are walking around in invisible prisons that they created. And and let me tell you something. I'm going just be transparent for you. My words are pretty good. But how many know sometimes even if even if you speak positive, you can get off track. You know what I'm saying? You can get off track. Okay? But but but then the Lord start dealing with me. I think I told you I I would I'm the

Guy that I'm driving in traffic and I will say something like, "Look at this fool right here. This clown is getting ready to cause an accident." And then one day I was saying that and the Holy Spirit said, "Stop talking like that before you the one that caused it."

See, when I watch this, if I'm driving down the road and I say, "Watch this," based on the behavior of the driver, and I say, "This person is getting ready to cause an accident." There's some faith that's with that. So now words come, and then we wonder why we haven't... Tra. You ever been in a traffic situation and it felt like everyone was trying to hit you? You ever been traveling 90 but it felt like 40? You ever been traveling 30 but it felt like 80? It's because there are forces behind the scenes based on everyone's words. All of the words are clashing together.

The man that just put in this illustrious sound system, he said something years ago. He said, "Most people don't know. He said that words never stop. What you say keeps going." He said, "And it's all clashing together." So, why the Bible says, "The voice on planet Earth, it increases continually." Why? Because what we say today has to coincide with what everybody said yesterday. And so, what you see going on, how hum is going down. Wow. We got too many people speaking negative, acting negative, doing negative, creating negative, and just the foul nature of people on planet Earth right now, y'all. This is a different level. There's a different level of sin out here right now.

These people, you know, I'm just... Well, I'll leave that alone. That's political. It's not political, but people call it political. Just to see how people on college campuses marching around saying "death to Israel." First of all, you shouldn't be marching around a college campus saying "death to anybody." But see, let me tell y'all something. See, you know, you know, one of the negative things about COVID. You want to know one of the negative things about COVID? Is before COVID, you couldn't walk into any establishment with a mask on. Before COVID, you walk into any establishment with a mask on, everybody like, "Hold on, y'all. This may... this might not be a drill. Hold on. You can't walk in a place." Now you can walk... I wouldn't suggest you walk into a jewelry store with a with a mask on, but but you can walk into any place.

I'm... My wife and I going to the gym and I'm like, "Why are these young boys got got on a mask at the gym?" All I can see are your eyes. This this this goofy ghetto goon mentality. Dude, it's 90 degrees outside. You up in the gym working out, getting to 110 degrees, and you got a mask on that covers your whole head, a big old sweater cap. We can just see your eyes. It's just crazy what they can get away with now. So people on the street, they're doing all of these protesting and they cover their faces because they can get away with that now.

And I'm telling you from from from, you know, they said on the news yesterday that, and I know some of y'all are not going to like this, it is a possibility that they may ban TikTok. It is a simple fact. They already know it. The Chinese are using TikTok to grab your information. Now they're saying they said that there is an attack imminent. They said they're just waiting on it. They said the group, I can't remember what it's called, they're picking the right time to try to shut down the water and the electricity, something else, all at the same, same time to cause a state of panic. Okay? So it's not out of faith for you to get, you know, extra toilet tissue and stuff like that.

See, the biggest thing you have to worry about, I think, coming in the future is something that happens that slows down and stops supply lines. Y'all remember when you couldn't buy toilet tissue? Like trees were extinct. That didn't even make any sense. So, I remember during COVID, I just switched on you. I remember during COVID when I went to Sam's Club and, um, I think I was getting some groceries for a lady that was down and out with some children. And so, you know, when I bless people like that, you know, I get them a whole bunch of groceries. Come through the line, and then, uh, you know, they scan the first loaf of bread, boop. Scan the second one. Uh, I said, "Uh, switch that thing again." I said, "Huh, maybe it's a bad loaf of bread or something. Bad serial number." And so then I picked up a thing of rice, picked up a second one. So I said, "Ma'am, can you come help me for a second?" And I said, "For some reason, it's not scanning." She said, "Oh, no. She said, "Because of COVID, we pre-programmed everything. You can only, one buy, you can only buy one item." They was they were testing that.

See, so you, first of all, you need to keep your confession right on purpose. For real. See, there's a difference between... Watch this. I, I think I'll do it this way. "I know the Lord has my back." Hallelujah. See, y'all laughing 'cause you didn't believe that. Versus, "Everything in the future will be just fine." See, that difference? See the difference in that tone? Who do you believe? The first person or the second one? Second one. See, because there's a tone. There's a belief that is attached to it. You are relaxed. You... When you really believe that you're going to be taken care of in the future, you're not doing all of that pep rally stuff. Y'all know what I mean? Pep rally. Raw, rah, rah. "We haven't won a game in 359 years, but this is it." No, you're getting ready to lose again. You're getting ready to lose again. Just, just, that's not how you win a game. Y'all got me.

So, let's read this. 1 Corinthians 10:1-13. So, I'm going read this last one, but it's very, very important for you to understand, you all. One of the reasons why this church is working so well is because of how I talk. So, you... I know sometimes, and sometimes people, they have blamed us for being arrogant. If you pay attention to my words, I'm always arrogant against negative things. I'm arrogant against satanic things. I'm arrogant against those type of things. So when people hear me say stuff like, "Keep your donation. You'll need it more than I will." See, they think that's arrogant. No, I believe that. That's why we don't have to do cupcake sales here and chicken dinners and and donuts, fries. Up. See, I got some people that's been there and and all of that. And I'm not rebuking anybody that does that. This is a kingdom. This is not Walmart. It's not a bank where anything is acceptable. You can't sit up here and tell the world it's a kingdom. And like I always say, the Queen of England was not in the back making cupcakes in order to save money for the kingdom. See, so you, you... When you talk this way, it's not... See, people pray in unbelief. You got to talk in arrogance. Amen. And sometimes you do need to keep on telling yourself and just keep blaring it out until you believe it. "I don't care if gas is $10, $10 a gallon. I'm still buying gas." You know what I'm saying? "Thank God I got the $10 to buy one gallon and get home." But you're going to have to change your scope. You need to create a vision board of what your future is supposed to look like. You ain't got to quote 300 million scriptures all the time. Jesus didn't do that. Sometimes this is faith. "Everything is going to be all right."

You ever been in a hospital situation? Something happened to someone in the hospital and everybody was kind of all fearful and then maybe Dad walked in. "Y'all calm down. Everything is going to be okay." Everybody calms down. See, and so you're going to have to have... Because y'all, the things that are coming and and and what you say. Yeah. Yeah. Somebody got to be calm. Some... I mean, because because the whole world is going to panic and this stuff is coming. And, you know, I'll show you something in the Bible code that says that the next attack against America is atomic. Now, everything the Bible code said about America, 100% of it has come to pass already. Atomic. Worst thing you can do is die and go to heaven. And if they paid you a billion dollars to come back, you smack all angels a billion dollars to go back to planet Earth? Please, you must be crazy. Okay. And so you got to just... And at this moment, you all, any supply line... I'm not even supposed to be preaching on this. Any supply line can be stopped. Anything can happen.

I was appalled when I saw Iran has never done that before. In case y'all haven't been watching the news, you be watching Looney Tunes and Facebook all day. Check the Fox News app and CNN, you know, uh, every once in a while to see what's going on. I check it once a day at least. And so last Saturday, in case you didn't know this, Iran shot 300 projectiles toward Israel at the same time. I think 130 of them were drones. Each drone was the size of a car and carried four bombs. Y'all better pay attention to the news. 130 drones and the rest were cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Ballistic missiles are ones you just shoot up in the sky. You just hope that they land. I might have it backwards. The uh, the cruise missiles have GPS coordinates built into them. And so you can build the GPS coordinate said, "I need you to hit this particular house. I need you to hit this particular address. I need you to hit this particular embassy." Three of them. 300 at the same time. 300 of these things headed toward Israel at the same time. And other countries... This was amazing. I said, "Oh, Israel about to show their behind again because the Lord is on their side." But but this time, the United States and France had to all help them. They had to jump up in the sky because this this was unprecedented. Iran has never done this before. Iran uses something called proxies. I'm just giving you... keeping you up to date while you should be praying. And sometimes while the Lord... because there were people that the Lord woke up 3:00 in the morning that day and it's like the Lord don't normally wake up. They said there was something they were praying about. Yeah. The Lord was using your prayers to help. Do you realize how you have to scurry and planes have to jump in the sky and they got to hunt down 300 things coming into one country at the same time? And now, you know, Israel is about the size of California. And you know, you know, they're gonna make a movie on it. I'll be the first one to roll with some popcorn watching this. I like war stuff, you know. But France got involved. The United States got involved. The cruise ships got involved, and they pretty much shot down everyone. I think only like maybe one to three got through. And so, and everybody begged 'cause, um, Israel was like, "Okay, this is what y'all going to do. Y'all have never done this before. They've always used terrorists in Syria, Jordan, and Iraq, and and all..." Yeah. All of those individuals, but they've never shot missiles from their country. And they're all 300 of them flying them at the same time toward... Man, they jumped in the sky, shot them things down, and then when they shot them down, everybody started begging Israel, "Please don't respond. Please don't respond because you're going to take us into World War II." And Israel was like, "We'll listen to your suggestions, but we're going to do whatever we want to do." And and I didn't think they were going to respond, but they did two days ago. So, Israel shot back. But this is what they did. I don't know why I'm telling y'all this. This is good because your, what you see going on in the physical, there is a greater war going on in the spiritual. And you have to look at the physical to say, "Okay, the same way..." See, Israel is is is spiritual Israel. But Christians, I'm sorry, that's natural Israel. Christians are spiritual Israel. Okay? So when you see these things up and up, it's not a coincidence. It's telling me, you know, Christianity is being attacked more and more. And and you got to know how to shoot back.

So this is what Israel did. Is that everybody begged them, "Please don't retaliate because we were able to shoot down all of the missiles." Israel was like, "Wonderful, but what if we did not have our defense system?" Israel has the baddest defense system on planet Earth. So much so, they are the only country that the United States buys defense systems from. I mean, it's one is called Iron Dome, David's Sling. Um, they all got scriptural connotations to it. So I like that stuff. Hey, so this is what they did. And see, this is where when when you are attacked, be careful about the response. This is what Israel did. They shot off some missiles, missiles. They went into Iran. And y'all see this right here? Never mind. See this right here? This is Iran's nuclear facility. So what Israel did was is that they shot rockets and landed it around the nuclear facility to let you know, "Act a fool again. We can reach out and touch you." Guess what Iran's response? "We don't have any plans for any further attacks right now." I'm not making this stuff up. I'm not making this stuff up. Okay. So, when you see these things happening, these all this is all biblical prophecy coming to pass. Well, guess what? In the midst of it, you got to keep your words right and your faith right. Next thing you know, the world is going down and being pulled, and we have environmental disasters, natural, you know, the stock market going to have to correct. I mean, all these things can happen. And how many know the Bible says there's nothing new under the sun. Everything that has been will always be again. Unfortunately, this is the last time. So, I don't care. And now, and I'm just being totally honest with you. I went and saw a movie called Civil War. Not the old Civil War. There's a movie that just came out this past Friday called Civil War. That was very interesting. It was about the United States being split in half and they turn on each other and go into full war. That was very interesting. And one side, they weren't going to be done until they killed the president of the United States. That was a very intense thing to watch. And it was done from a journalist's point of view. So it wasn't like political one side or the other. But the journalist had to... I think it was like California and and Texas against Florida and Atlanta, something like that. It was either west against south or north against... Yeah. North against south. Y'all know what I'm saying? So, but see, how many you know how many you know all the stuff that you watched a few years ago always comes to pass? You know names from television shows where where they had they had they had these electronics and they were talking to somebody. Jetsons. That's it. Jetson. You're like, "Oh, look at this. This is a cartoon." Now we sitting up here with phones talking to people. There is nothing that you have seen on television that won't come to pass in reality, good or bad. I'm waiting on the zombie movement myself.

But how many know y'all read that scary scripture in Revelation? It said for three months, death will come into the planet. Men will try to die and they can't. The walking dead, man. I don't know if I need to be out of here or if I need to be the one with the rifle. Pop, pop, pop, pop. Watching my kids shooting off zombies at these video games. You understand what I'm saying? So, so, but but we are called... The Holy Spirit gave me something years ago. He said, "The children of God are called to stand in vomit and still stay clean." We have diplomatic immunity. And and it is in the time like this, y'all. In in the midst of these wars. See, I pay attention to stuff like this. I pay attention to that flood that came into, uh, Louis... No, no, not Dubai. I didn't even know about that one. Oh, yeah. I saw the little thing with the airplane. I thought it was CGI, but the flood. No, I'm talking about the thing that hit when Bush was president. Katrina. Yeah, Katrina. What? When Katrina happened, y'all, a lot of churches got washed away. Some of them relocated to Atlanta. See, the problem is is that you have to brace yourself when judgment hits. Because now, guess what? Here's now, here this is why you got to obey God. Now people like, "Oh, God, he he destroyed the churches, too." Point number one, maybe he destroyed them because he wanted them to be shut down. I tell people when churches close, it's never Satan. It's always Jesus. Point number two, how many of those pastors did not hear from God that he told them to close shop and move to another place, just like he told me to do with Riverdale? You cannot judge things by what it looks like, you all, because you don't know who obeyed and who didn't.

I know several people right now that have told me out of their own mouth, "I know the Lord told me to move to Atlanta." Then why have you been in the same state for the last 12 years? We know a... We know a pastor. I won't mention his name. We know a pastor. His wife was in another state. And the Holy Spirit kept telling him, "Go get your wife and bring her back here." He was given dreams. Sometimes he woke up in the middle of the night and he said out of his own mouth, "I knew the Lord was telling me, 'Go get your wife and bring her back home.'" He didn't. And mysteriously, a man walked up to her house, rang the doorbell, she answered it, he stabbed her to death, and walked away. Where was God? In the man's bedroom telling him to go get his wife and bring him back home. But see, if you don't have the ability to hear from God, if you don't believe God speaks to men, you hit. I am where I am because I know how to hear from God. You know, see, hold on. Let me drink a water. Drink a water. Quit. You know, it's ignorant. People don't know anything about God. Why you... Why are you influenced by what they say? You know, "God doesn't speak to men." Really? You went up there and interviewed him? He told you this. He visited you in a dream. You're his personal consultant.

This is an iPhone. How many know that if all of us have an iPhone, the one that created this phone has the ability to send all of us a message at the same time? Or if you have not paid your bill, they have the ability to send you an individual message, like they do for me from time to time. I had to put my own autopay because it's the only bill that I pay. And my wife was like, "Why you just let it go for three, four months?" I don't know. I wouldn't pay it until they would threaten me. And then I did the same thing with the Comcast here that we do the online streaming. Now they just calling me, calling me, and I just didn't pay it for some reason. And then one couple times we came in service and the online is not working. The internet is down. People going into warfare with Satan. Oh yeah, he is hitting us in the heavenlies. And... No, the pastor didn't pay the bill. Y'all, y'all in here praying, "I got Comcast, please turn it on. I'll send you $1,000 right now." That's not a joke. I don't make this stuff up. How many you do some of the same crazy stuff in certain areas? Y'all understand what I'm saying? Can't even remember what I was... Oh, so yes. So he has the ability to send you an individual message by yourself, or he has the ability to send everyone a message at the same time. These are the days where in the midnight hour, he's going to be sending us all messages at the same time. I need y'all to get up and pray.

Y'all remember, uh, is it Columbine? Y'all remember that with the two kids shot up the old school and everything? I dreamed the entire scenario the night before with the real guys in it and everything. The entire scenario. But back then, I was a part of a church that didn't believe in dreams. I remember, I remember I sat straight up into bed because the, the entire scenario played out just like it did. And it ended, the dream ended by one of the kids pointing a gun at me in a dream and says, "You're next." And right before he pulled the trigger, dream in. I sat right up in the bed, had no idea what to do.

See, so we will go down on record in heaven as individuals that influenced events. How many know 9/11 should have been much worse than it was? Yeah. All those, what is it, 3,000 people that got killed? Take the, remove the prayer of the saints, everybody dies. When you hear the testimonies of people, one, there were people who said they got up and there was an angel in the room, "Stay home," then disappeared. Another man said, he said he left the house and he said, and he... what he left the house, he forgot his briefcase, so he went back. Left the house again. I left my coffee, went back in. This time I left my car keys. Has any of that happened to you? You're like, "What is going on?" It's called divine delay. I need to, I need to kind of mess you up for just a few moments so when you get out there in traffic, you're next to this car instead of that car, 'cause this car is going to mess you up. So, it's called divine delay. It's an angel is tripping you up. Tripping you up. Tripping you up. He got delayed four times, and because he got delayed, the planes hit before he got to work. Had he been there, he would be dead. See? So you have all of these testimonies that were coming out, and we see that's the prayers of the saints behind... People make fun of tongues all you want to, but that's the purpose of praying in other tongues. Bible says it's mysterious. It's it's rearranging things. It's it's analyzing things. It's... Y'all got me.

Let's go ahead and close this. 1 Corinthians 10-13. I don't want you to forget. These are laws. I don't want you to forget, dear brothers and sisters, about our ancestors in the wilderness long ago. All of them were guided by a cloud that moved ahead of them, and all of them walked through the sea on dry ground. This is about six... The Bible says it's about 600,000. It was over 600,000 men. So, how many know if it was back then, if it was over 600,000 men, then by the time... Oh, and it says it was over 600,000 men 20 years of age and up. So if you're dealing with 600,000 men, how many know it's a safe bet that by the time you add the women and the children, we're talking about possibly, you know, a million and a half to two million people. Okay. It says, verse two, "In the cloud and in the sea, all of them were baptized as followers of Moses. All of them ate the same spiritual food, and all of them drank the same spiritual water from they drank from that spiritual rock that traveled with him. And that rock was Christ." So this is God telling you that there was a large group of people, maybe two, maybe even three million. And this is his way of saying they all were getting the same stuff, same word, same leader, same spiritual food, same instructions. Yet God was not pleased with most of them, and their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. These things happened as a warning to us so that we would not crave evil things as they did. Number one. Number two, or worship idols as some of them did. As the scriptures say, "The people celebrated with feasting and drinking and they indulged in pagan revelry." And we must not engage in sexual immorality as some of them did, causing 23,000 of them to die in one day. That is God letting you know that there are some people that they get sick and they die because of fornication. Okay? Bible says that is the only sin that when you do it, it says you're sinning against your own body. It's a mysterious principle. Just in case sexual immorality is anything, if you're not married, let me say this. You have to be... If you're not born a man and born a woman and then you get married and then start doing stuff. Anything outside of that, Bible says is sexual immorality.

Somebody asked me a question from the new church. I guess they want to see my stance on certain things 'cause they a little offended with me right now, but they're going to be okay. And so, uh, "What's your what's your stance?" I knew it was a trick. "What's your stance on, um, um, homosexuals in leadership?" See, you can't get me. And I'm going just be blunt. I said, "Well, let me answer it this way." I said, "If you are married to a giraffe, you are welcome to come to this church." Now, the giraffe got to stay in the parking lot. No matter what type of sin you're in, you're welcome to come to church. You'll never stop. But once you start moving over into anything that has to do with any type of leadership, parking lot, usher, children's church, man, cameras, once you move over into that, well, we can't have unholy things managing holy things. Like I said, this, this ain't Walmart where everything is cheap. This is not a place where we need you to do something. You understand what I'm saying? This is not a bank where any deposit is acceptable. How many know you go right to that bank teller, "I'd like to deposit a penny." She going to pause. She like, "Girl, this might not... this might not be a drill. We might be getting ready to go down. You're getting ready to rob us. He wants to deposit a penny." But if you are serious, how many of you know they will deposit that penny and they'll have enough to give you a receipt. This is not that place. Kingdom of God is a kingdom. Period. It's a kingdom of dominance with a real king that came as a lamb the first time and says coming back as a lion the second time. First time he came to save. Second time he's coming back to destroy. You understand what I'm saying? So, so I told him I said, "Absolutely. I said, you can." But but then I said this. So, and I said, "And that's not for people in that lifestyle. That's for adulterers, fornicators, uh, drug dealers, uh, people." That's... Y'all get my point. I still can't believe that man called me and told me to create a law so this man can bring his boyfriend from another country. I can't believe that. I still can't believe that. I just stood in Walmart for a second. I was just like, I was in the hanger section getting some hangers. You know there's some stuff that happens and you remember exactly where you were, exactly what you were doing. And usually women are good for that. But some men, you know, there's some stuff that happens. You know, no, I'm no think like a woman today. I remember exactly where I was when these fools called me and said that they wanted to give me a donation. I don't know neither one of y'all. I mean, people are... But see, that's how some people see the church right now. He said, "Boldness for the darkness." And that's sad when people see you that way, you know, but but they about to learn. Your grandmother said, "Oh, you're going to learn today." Oh, you are definitely going to learn today. Yeah. It's amazing what people... I had a guy one time and it was... I knew it was Satan. I made the mistake of letting... It was a guitarist. I know he was a drug dealer for real, and his daddy was a pastor. And, um, he got in some situation and he needed somebody to vouch for him, but it was a lie. I'll never forget, he was sitting right in front of me at a desk in Riverdale and he said, "Yeah, so I, I just need somebody to come to court and say this and this is exactly how I did it." He did it. You know, I don't know if that's something that you would do. This is what he did. When he did it, I knew Lucifer showed up. Guess what I did? "You're right. I don't do stuff like that. I work at McDonald's before I do anything. Stop the shady stuff when coming to church. This is God's." You understand? This is the kingdom.

See, and that's... See, that's why, let me tell you something. As a pastor, I identify more as a king than I do a pastor. I'm just being honest with you. And the truth be told, all of us are more of kings than we are of anything. When you give your life to Christ, you become a lord. You become a king. They call you more than a conqueror, an ambassador. An ambassador is somebody who's in another country representing the one that he's from. How many know we are in this world but not of this world? We represent heaven, a real kingdom. You understand what I'm saying? So, but I very much like, you know, I probably saw Lord of the Rings 229 times. Who knows? I saw because I love the way kings are. It we the king would say, "You know what? We vowed 30 years ago that if they ever got attacked, we would go and protect them." And then somebody says, "Well, you know, King, it's impossible for us to win. We're going to die." And he said, "We will keep our word, and it'll be a glorious death." See, I like that type of stuff. The Bible says it another way: "Keep your word to your own hurt." Every... The most important thing that will ever exist are words. There is nothing greater than words because the whole kingdom stands on God's word. What did Jesus say? He said, "I won't even judge you." He said, "The word will." So, we have no idea the revelation of words. And so, because we don't have a revelation of how powerful words are, we are so flimsy in our speaking.

Hey, but anyway, nor should we put Christ to the test as some of them did and then died from snake bites. These are all letting you know the things come into your life as you do this. And here's the 10. Verse 10, "Don't grumble as some of them did and then were destroyed by the angel of death." That word grumble means murmuring, complaining, and gossip. Verse 11, "These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age. So if you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall." And one of the things that I'm amazed at is how easy it is to get off track. You know what I told somebody yesterday? I said, "You want to know why it's easy for strong Christians to get off track?" Because if you're not sinning, you don't think you're off track. That's true. You understand? Oh. So, so you're not sinning. So, I'm not out here doing crazy stuff, watching pornography and shooting up and hanging out with Batman and Robin and Robin Banks and all that type of stuff. So, I'm good. But yet, you haven't read the Bible in two weeks. You haven't spent time in prayer. Any of you have been appalled at yourself? You're like, "I just realized I haven't read the Bible in two years." You'd be surprised some of the stuff that I've heard. You'd be surprised some of the stuff that I heard. And and I mean, it's just it's amazing how you can go to the gym. This is definitely my story. You can go. Now, I'm being consistent now. Okay, I said now. But how many know it's amazing how you can start doing something that improves your life like saving money, going to the gym, and then mysteriously something happens and whatever happened, you stop doing that good thing that you were doing. Now, how many know when it comes to the wrong thing, you got to be shocked. Oh man, you, you don't need help to stop doing. You just do the wrong thing. Do the wrong thing. Do the wrong thing. Do the wrong thing. And then you come to church, "Lord, I'm here because that 18-wheeler missed me by an inch." That's the only reason why you stop. You know what I'm saying? But when it comes to that, when it comes to doing things, that is the force of darkness. They hate anything that has to do with good, God, increase. They don't like for you to save. They want you to be in debt. They don't want you to be healthy. They want you to be sick. You don't understand what I'm saying? They don't want you to go to the gym because how many know when you do go to the gym, how many you know, how many of you know you went to the gym and because you were consistent for a little while, it felt good to start getting results? You know what I mean? You start feeling good and and then your energy start increasing and and and you know, before you were climbing up the steps like Sanford and Son, you know, and and now you can just climb up the steps like this. I mean, that felt good. You were building muscle and and getting strong and then something happens. Something happens and it's not like you missed the gym for a few days or a few weeks or a few months. Raise your hand if you are sure and confident and truthful that you have missed the gym for sometimes years. They don't want to raise their hand 'cause some of them like, "Well, is there a category for people who have never been to the gym?" You understand what I'm saying? I have to be totally honest with you all, and I'm going to see if with the show of hands if you agree. Here lately, I have had moments where it feels like something was trying to break me. Psycho, psych. I mean, it's, it's, you, you, it's this feeling that comes over you, and it's not, a lot of times it's not even a valid reason. You just all of a sudden are just overwhelmed with wanting to give up. Just, just overwhelmed with, "You know what? I just don't want to do this anymore. I don't want..." You know, you don't... How many of y'all been feeling that?

See, so, so again, the Bible says that that level of darkness, it just increases, increases, and all you can do is just keep on moving, y'all. I have to be totally honest with you. You know how many sometimes you get that feeling and you try to pray and it's like dust is coming out of your mouth because you're always trying to do the right thing, you know? And and and how many know sometimes you try to read the Bible, it's like you're trying to read a foreign language or something. And sometimes you do have to shut down and just go to the movies. Sometimes you do have to shut down and just go to the park. Do something fun. Now, don't do something illegal. You know what I'm saying? It's you trying to manage this thing that has come against you that wants you to give up. Whenever you feel that, know that's how they feel. It's very important. They... The most people, you know, churches, they don't believe in deliverance and casting out demons anymore. It's so funny when I tell the stories about me casting out demons on social media, they call me an exorcist. I think that's hilarious, by the way. I'm an exorcist now. So, they were... So, one group I put up something and one group was arguing about it and one girl, "You heard what this exorcist said. He told y'all what the demon said." Just... It's just hilarious to me. That's the society we're in. But when you, when you tangle with these things, when you tangle with these things, it's just unbelievable what they say. I... It just... Some, you just remember this one spirit was cast out and, uh, and and they, they, they, they seem to sometimes like attention. It's weird. But he said, "Anytime," he said, "You ever seen somebody out there in the McDonald's parking lot and they eat the food and throw it on the ground?" I, you know, the person... It wasn't me. The person said, "Yeah, they said that's us." You, you worried about social media influence? You need to be worried about spiritual realm influence. They said, "Us, you know, and we, we encourage you to do that." And because this is what the demon said: "They said, 'Your heavenly Father created you to see perfection and cleanliness at all times.' That's why there is... The Bible says about heaven, there is not one thing that defiles it. There is not one speck of dust in heaven. God wanted you to see opulence and wealth and peace and prosperity. He created Adam and Eve in such a way, he never wanted them to know what the negative was, only the positive. They found out the negative when they obeyed Satan." Understand what I'm saying? And they said, "We know that when your houses are in a disarray, your peace leaves and that breaks you down for other attacks that we bring against your mind. No one goes to a hotel and stays in it this dirty." Think about that. I know some of you getting a little squeamish and everything, but but how many know you don't go to a hotel and stay in it? You want a clean room when you go on vacation. I mean, you want... Man, let it, let, uh, you know, you know, I, I tend to let things go, but some women, they don't let things go. My wife, she ain't going to let them go, you know. Oh, let it be one black dot on that white sheet. Them going right back down. Hey, we need two days free because of that black dot. See, I'm the type, man. Just bring up another sheet. Another sheet. It's, it's not that deep. But my wife doesn't play that. She doesn't play that at all, man. She'll... Man, my wife will have, she'll be owning your company if you mess up with her. Everybody, that's that's all that's her. See, but I mean, think about it. Think about it, y'all. And I know this is going to be convicting, but think about it. When we go on vacation, we want everything to be perfect. We want everything to be clean. We want everything to be opulent. So why don't we keep our homes like that? Because there is a real force that convinces you that it's okay to keep this. And then how many know you keep it that way and then you're agitated by it? Any of you walk by the same piece of trash for two weeks? Oh, maybe that was just me. And that's... But you know, any of any of you just got so disgusted that that day you just turned off your phone and you just turned on some good music and you just cleaned up the whole house? Wow. You got frustrated. See, but so, see, that's what I mean by, if, if you don't understand the forces that are against you, you'll think you're crazy. And they just, y', they are against you. They're against your marriage. They're against your children. They're against your grandparents. They're against your, your pets. I'm serious. They're against everybody. And I need to do a teaching one time about how God and Satan used animals. Y'all do realize that they got taken down by a snake? To to see how both sides, righteous and evil, how they used animals, and both sides use storms. I mean, it's just... And so we're living in this physical world, but it is a simple. How many of you know that every scary movie where there is an invisible war going on between the gods and the demons? Only a couple people know. The whole planet is totally... It's the same. It's unbelievable. And when you, and when you step into the middle of it though, you find out just how real that junk is, y'all. That stuff is, it is straight violent what is going on behind the scenes. And like I said, that one demon that told me, think Devon was with me. He said, "Our main agenda is get the children. We're going to kill them. We're going to twist them. We're going to pervert them." He said, "Because there are prophecies out there." Y'all remember King Herod? He destroyed every child to get to one. That is their mentality. We got to pervert all of your children, and we got to twist them, turn them out, se... change their sex. We got to do everything because amongst them there are a few that's going to destroy Satan." I did a deliverance with a lady and they, the, the demon kept on saying over and over again, "Satan told me to hold on because if, if I let go of this girl, this girl was going to turn around and destroy Satan." He just kept on saying it over and over and over again. So, you know, the Bible calls them familiar spirits. Jesus, I'll close here. Jesus said that, "Be careful how you treat the children." He said, "Because each one of them has an angel that stands before God." Satan is an imitator. Bible says that you cannot count the number of angels that God created. The Bible says one-third of them fell with Satan. That's a lot of demons. And they're all here on planet Earth. Police officers will tell you more and more, they're running into stuff that they... I've had sheriffs call me about two or three times. "Sir, please pray for us because we're running into stuff that cannot be explained." They say, "We're emptying whole clips in the men and they keep walking at us and laughing." They said, "This is otherworldly." Yeah. And the problem is is that you keep embracing darkness, embracing darkness, embracing darkness. And now what's going on is that ancient evil that was sleeping has now awakened. Y'all see that in the movies too, don't you? Some Dumbbell Jr. walks into a museum and, "Why did you touch that thing and break off its head?" And now the spirit comes out. Now the rest of the movie is about how this ancient spirit got to be this. The movies are just... Never mind. Okay.

So y'all, your first assignment is that there's some of us that we we have destroyed people because of what we have said about them. "Well, I didn't like them." What would happen if God didn't like you? Bible says the goodness of God caused us to repent. God never treated you based on your behavior. If you did, you would be dead. Could you imagine what would happen if God said about you, "Ooh, I can't stand your behind"? Could you imagine if God said, "I hate her"? Could you imag... See, see, we are we are little gods. And and there's a force behind your words. There are certain things you say. It does not matter. There's something that the Holy Spirit brought to my attention. He said, "It does not matter if they are standing in front of you or on the other side of the world." He said, "If they're on the other side of the world and you say these things, it affects them as though they were standing right in front of you because the world travels." We don't know anything about the power of words. That's why we're so flippantly say certain things. That's the reason why we smile in a person's face and go behind the scenes and talk about them behind their back. When you go and talk about them behind their back, it was the equivalent of you saying it in front of their face, and they're still hit with it. I can tell at times when people are praying for me, and I can tell at times when people are talking about me. I... There's a feeling that's attached to it. And many of times, y'all, I don't want to go to heaven. And God says, "These are all of the individuals that I had to buffer from your words. If I had to let it go full force, they would be dead." You know, the problem is, we haven't been taught how powerful we are. It's so funny. The Bible tells us how powerful we are, but you can't go to church and you can't go to the school and find out how powerful you are. You understand what I'm saying? But you see elements of that in scripture. So, I'm just encouraging you to get on top of that. There's so many scriptures, um, in regards to, uh, the power of words. I just kept it light today. So let me read.

The scripture again. Matthew 12:36. You can be sure of this. When the day of judgment comes, everyone will be held accountable for every careless word he has spoken. That word accountable is a money term. It means profit or loss. You're going to lose some things on the other side based on careless words. Careless means I could care less. You see, that's the one thing. There's some people they talk negative and they could care less about it. It's not that deep. I don't need to repair that.

Everyone will be held accountable for every careless word he has spoken. Your very words will be used as evidence and your words will declare you either innocent or guilty from what God has to penalize you for. Now let me say this Bible, how many know the Bible says that God will cleanse you from all unrighteousness? Okay? And so, so yeah, the Lord will forgive you of of things that you have said in the past, particularly things that you know about. It's usually best to ask God. But guess what he won't do is you ask God to forgive him, but then you treat the person the same. You ask God to forgive you of the past, but you still talk about the person in the future. And it's hard. I'm being, I'm being honest with you because when I start practicing this, I was appalled. I can't explain this. So, for some reason, it happens a lot when I'm driving and and I'll get ready to say something and then I don't, but but it stops in my head and I heard what I was going to say. And because I've been doing that so much, I'm like, man, I was really talking this way unconsciously. You understand what I'm saying? And you got to really, and there are certain areas where we are talking negative about ourselves. You know, you know, yeah, you know, this is how everyone is in my family. Not me. Not me. Okay. You know, I'm I'm a standalone type of dude. My wife was doing that whole finding relatives. See if she got any relatives in Beirut and France and Spain. Not me. I said, "No, I don't need to find no new people in my life. I'm just just fine. I'm just fine." Okay. I just curiosity kills the cat, as they say sometimes. Okay.

But but the point that I'm making is is that you have to really ask God to show you because when the Lord brought this to my, it's not a, it's not a feel-good message. It's not a "Amen, brother." No, it's not one of those. It's one of those I think I need to ask the Holy Spirit to bring to my remembrance what I've been doing in the past. I feel like sharing this testimony before I close to show you how things can be lost from the past. It was a deliverance session, inner healing session that they were doing. And in the inner healing sessions, we lead the person in the prayer. So we'll say something like we'll explain this is the definition of a word curse. And then we will lead the person in the prayer and and the prayer is, "Holy Spirit, can you reveal to me any word curses that were said over me or I said over myself that are preventing me from moving forward?" And then everybody waits and see if the Holy Spirit talks to that individual. This particular lady, as soon as she prayed that prayer, I remember one lady, this is just side commercial for 10 seconds. One lady, she prayed the prayer, closed her eyes. This is exactly what she did. Oh wow, I'm still holding that against that girl in kindergarten. See, there are things we have said and done and we just kind of tuck it away in our heart. We do this to people, whatever. And at that moment, you took that and you com, you know, like you have stuff in your house that you really need to throw away, but it's in the basement, it's in the attic, it's in the garage. You know, that's another thing with the ladies. We're going to need. See, this is a joke, man. How many of you know that thing can sit in the garage for 30 years? And the moment you get ready to throw it throw it away, don't throw it away. We're going to need that. No, we're not. We haven't needed it in 30 years. No, we didn't need it. See, and I'm the one I'm the guy just throw everything in the trash. Throw the whole building in the trash. Just we going to buy a whole. That's just I am. I just don't like stuff. You have to be very careful what you give me. If you ever give me a piece of money, let me know it's some money because I throw everything in the trash. I just do cards, you know? I just I'm not trying to be funny. I mean, I save your cards and stuff, but I never mind. Let me just stop. Yeah. I don't even know if I'm ahead on that one. I might be behind. Give y'all the wrong impression. Okay.

So, but this other lady, soon as she prayed the prayer, instantly she was in a vision and the Holy Spirit put her back in her mother's womb. So, she she's an adult but in the vision she's a child but she can understand as an adult. She's in her mother's womb and she can hear her mother saying negative things about her because she wanted a boy and not a girl. In the vision, the Holy Spirit says your mother was a broken woman. That's the reason why she did that. She had no idea the power of her words that caused something to enter you before you were even born. Yeah. So, you know, he said, "You got to forgive her." She had the prayer prayer. She'd been fine ever since. But let me. This is my final close. I know I always have 30 closes. All preachers have 30 closes. So, get used to it. But um you all remember that scripture that says when you give your life to Christ, you are taken out of darkness and placed into the kingdom of light. Now let me use the president of the United States. How many of you know that when you are the president of the United States, that is your place? You carry yourself as the president of the United States. Whether you are in the White House, whether you are in the neighborhood, or whether you are overseas. Wherever you are, you are the president of the United States. And because of that, you carry yourself like the president of the United States. Y'all following me? When you become a Christian, you are placed into the kingdom of light. So, and guess what? In the kingdom of light, when you get to heaven, for eternity, you will never hear one negative word. For eternity, you will never hear. No one lacks love towards another. Y'all following me so far? But guess here's the problem. You are a member of that kingdom now. So they expect you to act down here as though you're already up there. That's just simply a fact. That's just a reality. And and and but and and that's not always easy. But guess what? You weren't easy. People crack me up. You know, they give their life to Christ and now they want all of their cousins to come in tomorrow. Why? It took you 39 years to come in. You understand what I'm saying? And y'all, it's you can do it, but you have to start judging yourself. You have to let your spouse start judging you. Now, sometimes you're not going to want to hear it from your spouse, but if you want to get on top of it, hold yourself accountable to somebody because we live in a very dark world. We live in a very perverted world. We live in a world right now that's very, very toxic where the only thing that they want to do is now let me let me I'll give you an example. Now, for me, just so you know, I don't I better not say that. So, let me put it this way. I do not nec I don't really support most of what the current president does. I just don't. Okay. So, if he runs again, I won't be voting for him. It's not going to happen. Okay? But that doesn't mean that I have to speak negative about the man. It doesn't mean that I have to make fun of him because he keeps falling. It doesn't mean that I should make fun of him because he is stumbling through his work. You understand what I'm saying? That's not funny. I don't want anybody to make fun of me. Okay. And so, unfortunately, I I watched something and even though I don't care for the man. I just I watched him and and they he walked into an ice cream shop and there were two little girls there and they were just kind of waving at him. He just stopped and he just waved at him and talked and and and then he went on to get his ice cream and and and and the and the the the people on the news, they were like, "See, look at him, you know. Um he just came in and they do they do this comparison thing, you know, and you know, Donald Trump, he hugged all of the women at the Chick-fil-A and Biden, he just walked in and waved." Yeah. But if if if Biden had walked in and given the girls a hug, then you would have called him a pervert. And see, this is the this is the problem is everything is being misjudged to keep you glued to the television and gossiping. Turn that mess off and don't believe nothing these fools tell you unless you see it yourself. And even if it is true, pray. You understand? And so, and so some of your friends are not going to win around you. Oh, you're just Mrs. Positive. Mhm. I plan on being positive. My money are getting ready to be positive and and and and my relationship with my spouse is getting ready to be positive. All of the people that run their mouth negative. You ever notice about their manifestation, they don't never have nothing. Bunch of negativity like you just said. It's just unbelievable. I watched the guy, Holy Spirit told me, "Watch him." He said, "Watch him for three days." I did. I remember I never forget this. He said, "Watch him for three days and listen to him." And so we all went out to eat. It was a men's thing. At the end of three days, Holy Spirit said, "Now talk to him about what you observed." I said, "Let me ask you a question." I said, "Did you know that for the last three days, you have not said one single positive thing?" And guess what he did? Really? So he didn't know he was doing it. That's why that's why the Holy Spirit is called a helper. You need him to help you. But when he helps you and shows you, don't don't do this. No, I'm not doing all of that. I've learned the power of humility. Just die. Die to your feelings and become alive to the word. You know what I'm saying? I mean, there are people there are people that blame me for stuff and the Holy Spirit will say, "Humble yourself and apologize even though it's not your fault." It's about saving them. It's about your reputation. You understand what I'm saying? Okay.

So, how many know this is the real stuff? Heaven is run on character, not won't he do it? Y'all got me now. He kid just said now he will go all these extra front row preachers. That's always hilarious. It used to be the dickens that sat up here. You know what I mean? Now it's the front row preachers. That's hilarious. Okay, but but y'all let me tell you something. When that when that time clock runs to zero, any change you made for the kingdom of God, you won't regret it. You will regret changes you were supposed to make. Like that billboard that we drove past said it. And I normally I don't pay attention to that billboard. It's a little small church. They got these little sayings, ain't saying nothing. This one hit me in the gut and it said, "Eternity is a long time to think about what you should have done." And I think about that on a regular basis. You ever seen something and you were doing right, but you still repented just in case? And it is. God is ruthless when it comes to what he said. And when that time clock runs down to zero and you step over to the other side, it's spiritual law. Period. It's spiritual law. Son, I can't change spiritual law. I can't change the constitution of the kingdom of God to fit you so that you can get in. But you can do anything. No, I can't because I can only do things based on my spiritual law. And I can't go against the spiritual law. One of the spiritual laws is when you come out of time into eternity, nothing else can change. If you're not a member of heaven before you die, you will never become a member after you die. Because you must be a member before you die. Because after you die, nothing can change. There is no more time. So you don't even have time to change because there is no time. You understand what I'm saying? So let me just stop. I'm going to stop for real. I'm just I know it is. It's just it's just frustrating. There's something wrong when people got to get on a plane and come from other countries and other states just to come to church. There is something wrong with that. Every church is supposed to just be. I'm supposed to be a no-name cuz professionally I'm terrible. I just am. I mean, I lose my thought mid-sentence, jump over here, side commercial, side commercial. We didn't forgot what the original programming is now. Just can't remember where I was. You know what I'm saying? Just doing all type of crazy stuff. Doing jumping jacks. All of this stuff is unprofessional. He said it's entertaining. We're going to have to move. We're going to have to take turns with the congregation that's sitting on the front row. You understand what I'm saying? But you know, we're just going to keep on going because after a couple of weeks, we're going to start moving over into the evangelism piece and it's going to overrun this building. But the Lord will show us what to do when it's overrun. Amen. Let's go ahead and stand for a moment. Thank you, Jesus.

If you're here, hallelujah. If you're here in the service or you're watching us online, you're not saved. You don't know what that means. You've never. People say, "I go to church." So does the devil. You know, most, you know, most mafia guys go to church and they give and listen to the sermon and go right out there and go get get to killing people again. Going to church doesn't save you. Wonderful. Shaking a preacher's hand, that don't do nothing. Giving money, waste of time if you're not in the kingdom. Okay. I'm going read these scriptures. I'm going do a different format. I think in this season, I'm going to read the salvation scriptures and then to close the service, we'll just hold hands and pray. And those that have never prayed this prayer for salvation or rededication, they can just say the prayer out loud after they read it. Here the scriptures. Romans 5:12, it tells a story. When Adam sinned, sin entered the world, and Adam's sin brought death, so desperate to everyone because everyone sinned. Isaiah 3:18 says, "So because of this, the Lord must wait for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion. For the Lord is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for his help." Romans 4:7 says, "Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight." Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord is clear of sin. That is a wonderful scripture that lets you know that there's joy. Not God is not mad at you even if you never prayed a prayer. He he loves you. He just got to wait for you to come to him, you know. But he says there's joy on the other side of me forgiving you. There's blessings. Okay. Romans 3:22, we are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. In Romans 10:9 tells you how to do it. If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, he said you got to openly declare it. It means you got to say it. You can't think it in your mind. If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God. And it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. So, you know, there's some things that happen the Lord allows to happen so I can always correct it for it. Years ago, this girl told her about this. She said, "Well, why you got to say it?" I said, "Because you're not ready to get saved. Somebody dies for you and you can't repeat a prayer. That's like somebody saying, "I got $10 million for you. Just say thank you." Why I got to say thank you? Because you don't need this $10 million. So this is the prayer. They put it up on the screen online also. And if you're here, you never prayed that prayer. At the moment, we have the congregations just hold hands and begin to pray. And you can hold their hands. But I want you to read that prayer first. Just look at it. Read it. See what it says. And then if you want to give your life to Christ, you become a Christian. If you want to rededicate your life, all you have to do is then just repeat the prayer. You don't have to say it loud, but you have to at least whisper it. Just look at it, read it first and look at it, see what it says, and then go back to the beginning and then just say it out loud. And once you get to the amen part, every single thing that you have ever done in the past is washed away. The Bible says there's only joy for you in the future. Okay, people too too many people are concerned about, well, I don't feel worthy. It's cuz you're not. None of us are. So, you know, amazing to me, well, I rather clean myself up first. That's like saying, you know what? I need to get in shape, but I'm going to get in shape first, and then when I get in shape, I'm going to join the gym. But that's what Satan puts in people's minds. You know what I'm saying? It's very simple. And that is God loves you. Sin is not even your fault. Our great-grandfather Adam messed up. He caused all of us to be put in this situation. Jesus came back and rescued you. He paid the price for sin to be washed away and for you to become born again and a member of the kingdom of God so that when you die, you will live there forever. And find out about other dimensions that God has created. It really is that simple. Okay.

So, I've given enough information for you to make that decision. You just grab your neighbor's hand to the left or to the right. Just begin to pray in the spirit for a moment. Just go ahead and lift up your voice. Give God thanks and praise. Now, go ahead and lift up a voice a little bit. Thank you, oh Lord God. If there's anyone here, this is your time to look at that prayer. Read it and then we'll give you a moment to pray it. And after you pray it, you'll be another man and you'll be another woman. Thank you, oh Lord God. We thank you, Father, for your word on today. Seal it on the inside of our hearts. Holy Spirit, lead us and guide us in the way that you would have us to do. Thank you, Lord God. Blessed be your holy name. Oh Father, we thank you for those who are coming into the kingdom today. For those who are rededicating their lives on today, thank you oh Lord God for favor on today in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Glory to God. We thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Praise your holy name. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord. Praise your holy name, Father, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord God. Praises be unto thee. Thank you, oh Father. Thank you, Lord God. [Music] Thank you, Jesus. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Thank you, oh Lord God. Now, let's just lift our hands. We give God thanks and praise for what we have heard today so that we can become better sons and daughters of the kingdom. Better sons and daughters of God, better people on planet Earth, so that the Lord can use us to be a blessing to people and not a curse to people. Thank you, oh Lord God, for raising up a special people in these last days from many different backgrounds, many different statuses. Oh Lord God, you are creating a people in these last days to be one. Thank you oh Lord God. Thank you Jesus for what you are doing. We bless and honor you for it now in Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Amen. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. I'm really excited for the Lord how he's trained us so that we can give the world discipline. So I hope y'all ready. Hope y'all ready. This is going to be a roller coaster ride. So, remember that we're doing this special thing on May the 4th and May the 5th. You know, now the Lord has blessed us with this building. It's going to take a lot of money in order to uh do every aspect of what it is. You know, we're waiting on the Lord to show us how to do the outside. I'm going to be patient with that. You know, a couple of people have had visions of what the outside is supposed to look like, and they said it was phenomenal. Absolutely stunning. And so when the Lord does something like this, he has an agenda on his mind. I've got prophecies about the glory of God resting upon this building. And so I thought it'd be fitting that on May the 4th and May the 5th, we, you know, generally don't do offers in the service, but that day we will. So that day you will bring uh you for us that are here, you'll bring you'll bring cash. And then um for those that are online, it'll hit the online button. It will say Kenya in the book in the Bible, Solomon gave a big offering to God. It was a sacrifice. When he gave it, the next day, the Lord showed up in a dream and said, "Whatever you ask me to do, I'll do it." And because of how big this is and what's coming, this I believe the Holy Ghost has placed it on my heart is for us. It's an individual sacrifice. Whatever the Lord places on your heart or whatever you decide, you understand what I'm saying? Whether it's $5,000, whether it's $500, or whether it's $5. And this preacher talking about if God, if you see two amounts, the Lord one is the devil. No, it's not. You just want more money. That's all that is. Crack me up with this. Okay. And so, but whatever it is, and then the reason I have to do it that way, why are you asking for cash? Is because we need to be able to count it so that 100% of those proceeds go to that church in Kenya that needs a building. And so, that's a sacrifice. You know why it's a sacrifice? It's because one, it's your personal sacrifice. And then corporately, we need that money for this building. I mean, it's not like we broke or anything. We just put in that system, but the other one is on the way. It's like a month, $30,000, you know, but but there are some things that you need to sacrifice. The Bible says, "What good thing you do for a san you receive from the Lord." And so on that day, you got to imagine what that looks like to heaven. We know that y'all want a beautiful building because you haven't had one for 12 years. So guess what? When you haven't had one for 12 years, you want to move at speed. Turn this into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Jesus. Have him flying around on skateboards with flames coming out the back. Okay, that's me and my craziness. But to take that and say, "Lord, first of all, we're not going to do a building fund unless you say so. Secondly, we're going to do this this one time. We're all going to pull our money together. And instead of blessing our church, we're going to bless another one that really needs it. Just cuz they're building when it rains, everyone gets wet. Everything today." And I think the Lord will be pleased with that. You know what I'm saying? I think he'll be pleased with that. You want to go hear something crazy? You always know it's God when this happens. There are people there are many people that are flying into town that weekend just to give. They could do it online. They spending money getting on airplanes coming from other countries and states just to come to them. See how many remember in the Old Testament Moses did this one time and it says they gave so much. Moses said, "Stop. We got too much. Stop." I mean, know they said it about you. Okay. So that's what we're going to do. And so uh so that and then uh we'll I'll keep this. It's a possibility. I won't share with you now. I don't think I have any announcements. Seems like I'm missing. Oh wow. Yeah. Well, that would be major baptism and baby dedication on the same day, Saturday, May 11th. Send an email to baptism@winhearturch.org. We're going to do baptism. We'll probably do on that day baptism, communion, and paper dedication. Just make that more of a celebration type service and we'll do that. So, just send an email there and we'll put you down for that. So, all right, let's lift our hands one more time and uh just before we dismiss the service, you're a first-time visitor, just go ahead and step out in the aisle, walk towards the back. They'll take you to a conference room where my wife and I will just come and greet you for a moment. So, if you're a first- time visitor. Oh, okay. Well, apparently my wife is standing here. If you're a first- time visitor, you can leave and I'll be talking to you in the back. So, go ahead and step out now. We'll just pause for a moment. Go ahead and step out now if you're a first- time visitor. And we'll just I'll just meet you in the back. Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Hallelujah. And Father in Jesus name we thank you for what we have heard. Help us oh Lord God to be a better people to speak well like the king of kings who neither murmurs nor complains or gossips. Help us to be like him. The Holy Spirit is helping us to be like him. Thank you oh Lord God so that we can stand before you and you will show us how our words affected mankind for good and not for bad. Thank you, oh Lord God, that as we leave this place, your grace and your protection goes with us until we come together again. We thank you for this in Jesus mighty name. Amen. Amen. All right, give someone a high five or a hug. Tell them to have a blessed day and we'll see you on next weekend.
