[00:03] And we are live. De's make believe girlfriend today. Yeah, it's pretty [00:10] [Music] [00:16] funny. We don't even need to do no no sound check this time. David Peace. [00:22] Peace. It's another opportunity for us to come together and uh here and learn. [00:28] What? What? You trying to put me out of a job? Hear and learn the word of the most high [00:34] God. All honor goes to the father through the son whose name is Yahushua. In him lies the only hope for salvation. [00:41] We know that it is obtained by grace through faith, not of works, lest anyone should boast and given freely as a gift [00:46] to all who obey him. We understand that if you do not obey him, it is made manifest or made obvious that you do not [00:53] believe. In this state, you should expect no good thing from the most high. However, anything that you do get, [00:59] whether it be a gift of tongues, a gift of prophecy, or any supernatural experience that you may have, it can and [01:04] it will be used against you in the day of judgment. With that said, peace to the saints that are in the room, to the [01:10] saints that couldn't make it, to the saints watching in on the camera, to the saints in the chat, to the saints scattered around the world that we don't [01:15] know about. But no peace to the wicked. The only thing we say to them is repent that they might live. Let me see. Hold [01:23] on. What she what she in there talking about? You know, she is going to live. So it wasn't even technical. Did you [01:28] know y'all was late in peace, man? You always talking mess. [01:36] Um, let me see what we talk about last why last week felt like it was longer than a week [01:43] ago. What we talking about last week? You asleep? You ashamed yourself, [01:51] huh? I know. So it should seem like it was not that long ago. [02:00] Um, was we was he in Acts? He got to make it. He had to make it, [02:06] right? We was Acts 18, right? We was Acts 18. Remember Paul was [02:11] running around. He was he was trying to teach the word to the to the Bereans and then he uh then he went to the people of [02:18] Thessalonica. Then we read Thessalonians. You know what I'm saying? Then we came back and we saw that uh he [02:24] continued to go through the cities, right? So one of the cities that he went to was Corinth, right? And he is dealing [02:31] with the folks in Corinth. Um and now we about to read the uh the book of uh [02:36] first Corinthians, right? And we going to see we going to see how he spoke to the people that was in Corinth. This is [02:42] first Corinthians. Let's start at verse one. I mean chapter 1. 1 Corinthians chapter [02:48] 1. Who was who was that? SF. I don't know who SF is. David [03:02] Pisto. This is 1 Corinthians chapter 1. Uh we going to start at verse [03:10] one. Try to understand what this book says. This a blessing from the most high [03:16] God to get to understand. It's a blessing from the most high God to you gota you gota kind [03:22] of take a step back sometimes you know how you getting water you know what I'm saying you know how you go to the pool [03:27] getting water and you first get in the water like it's hot outside it's burning up hot hot hot outside you get in the [03:33] water it's like woo that feel good but you get in the water and it's cold freezing and it's because your body has [03:40] already adapted itself to the heat you know what I'm saying it's like so much heat your body has had to adjust to try [03:46] to normalize the heat so then when your body has adjusted to the heat. You know what I'm saying? To make itself less [03:52] sensitive to the heat. When you get into the water, that makes it extremely cold. [03:57] You know what I'm saying? So, the water feel colder than what it is. So, you know what your body do when you in that water? You sitting there, you like, "Oo, [04:03] this this water cold." And you swim around for a little bit. What start to happen? The water kind of feel all right [04:08] after a while. You know what I'm saying? You get used to that water. It feel all right after a while. But then what you [04:14] want to do after that? Every darn kid, you want to go always to the darn jacuzzi, don't you? You sit your but you [04:20] take your butt to that jacuzzi. You You right out the cold water. The water you used to the cold water now. You get out [04:26] and you go jump in the jacuzzi and now it's burning up high like always so hot, right? And you know why that [04:33] happened? Because your body is adjusting to normalize anything that you dealing with, right? What we do is our minds do [04:41] the same thing our body do. We normalize it. We normalize. Okay. Well, yeah, I got an understanding of this book. And [04:47] we look at that like it's normal. Whereas in in days before we look like, [04:52] man, I just wish God would help me understand this book. We can't forget. We can't forget where we were and where [04:59] we come from because you lose perspective if you do that. And that perspective is what it going to be to, [05:06] you know what I'm saying? To make sure that, you know what I'm saying? We have a we have an appreciation for what God is doing for us. It's a big thing that [05:12] he do. May be a day of small things, but it's a big thing that he's doing for us. What? What they saying? I got my son [05:19] over here.

Paul [05:47] called to be an apostle of Yahosua the Messiah through the will of God in Sustaines our brother unto the [05:53] congregation of God which is in Corinth to them that are sanctified in Yahosua the Messiah called to be saints with all [05:59] that in every place call upon the name of Yosua the Messiah and our Lord both theirs and ours. Notice that he ain't [06:05] raped nothing to no darn Christian. At no point do he be like to the Christians that's over in Corinth [06:11] hanging out in the corner. Never. You know what I'm saying?

If you continue in my word, you'll be my [06:55] disciple indeed. He's like, "Oh, okay." And so, you know, are you going to stop [07:00] me every time somebody say something?

He's like, "Oh, the Bible, the scripture." Yeah, same thing. Scripture, [07:35] what you be? You be reading the Bible. Yeah, same thing. Same thing y'all be reading. You know what I'm saying? She Oh, so [07:43] Christianity. I was like, well, I'll say this. Christianity came from a similar place. You know what I'm saying? Like [07:49] they got it from where we got our stuff. You know what I'm saying? It's like we come our stuff come from the scriptures and Christianity try to come from the [07:55] script scriptures, too. You know what I'm saying? She's like, "Oh, okay." You know what I'm saying? I was like, [08:00] "Yeah." You know what I'm saying? Yeah. We we broadcast. We go live every Friday.

She's like, "Well, you know, I I sponsor everything that this [08:20] other person that used to work for the company, everything that they do, and they have a ministry also, this, that, and another." So, I know what she was [08:26] trying to do. She was trying to get me to say, "Listen, you know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? Just, you know what I'm saying? You can, you know what [08:31] I'm saying? Just come on through. just see how you like it. You know what I'm saying? If I was a Christian pastor, I'd be like, "Yo, come on by. Come on by. [08:38] Just see how you like it." You know what I'm saying? Just see what you think. But I ain't falling for it. You know what I'm saying? Well, you know, we broadcast [08:43] whenever you You know what I'm saying? Whenever we do, you know what I'm saying? We broadcast. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I don't [08:48] want nobody money. All I want I want people to be saved. You know what I'm saying? I want people to hear this word. [08:54] I take the money now. I just ain't I just ain't asking for it. You know what I'm saying? We not trading. This ain't a [09:00] trade. You know what I'm saying? Book say what the book say? Worker is worth his wages. That's what the book say. The [09:05] book say the the workers worth his wages, right? The work that a man a man [09:12] or a woman being worth something don't mean that you ask for it or you get it. You got to walk with no matter what I [09:19] know what the value is of what we talking about. I don't need nobody to offer me money to to to to operate in [09:24] that value. Right? I know what the value is. My value comes from the most high [09:31] God. Everything gonna happen when it's supposed to happen. Everybody gonna see I'm It's not [09:38] lost on me. I know. I know where I come from. I know I know my level of education. I know the messed up stuff. I [09:44] know the stuff I got on my record. I know all types of stuff. It's not lost on me where I am today. I tell my wife [09:51] all the time, it's like, "Listen, there one thing we can't set this like all the stuff that we enjoy. I I know where it [09:57] come from. I know it ain't because I'm just so darn great. You lost your darn [10:02] mind. It's because we serve the most high God. And the most high God, not for [10:07] my purpose, not because I enjoy it. Let me make sure you just got what you got so you can serve my people. And as soon [10:14] as he done with me, [10:20] next. It's that easy. And only thing I got to do is tuck my darn chin and keep moving and keep [10:26] obeying. Right? We can't just praise God when the times is good. Right? And we [10:32] can't just and curse God when the times are bad. No, you got to praise both sides, right? And you can't take your [10:39] foot off the gas just because everything is good. No. No. I don't need your [10:45] sponsorship dollars. But you know what I'm saying? If you send it anonymously, I wouldn't know where it [10:51] came from. You know what I'm saying? How would I know where it came from? If you anonymously sponsor, I'm none the darn [10:58] wiser. You know what I'm talking about? I ain't begging. You know what I'm saying? I'm none the darn wiser. Right. But this is first Corinthians. Keep [11:06] going. I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God which is given you by the Messiah Yahosua. that [11:13] in everything ye are enriched by him in all utterance and in all knowledge, even as the testimony of the Messiah was [11:19] confirmed in you, so that ye come behind in no gift, waiting for the coming of [11:24] our Lord Yahosua, the Messiah, who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye [11:30] may be blameless in the day of our Lord Yahosua the Messiah. God is faithful by whom ye were called. He said to God is [11:37] faithful by whom ye were what? Were called. Where would he get that [11:43] from? He's saying, "God is faithful by whom ye were called." Keep going. Watch this. Unto the fellowship of his son, [11:50] Yosua, the Messiah, our Lord. What does that sound like? Who taught us that first? Many are called, few are chosen. [11:58] Grab uh John. Grab John chapter uh John chapter 6 verse [12:08] 44 maybe 43. It's John chapter 6. Give me verse [12:16] 43. But you going to read too. Oh, so you and your brother just going to put me and me and your uncle T out of the job. That what y'all trying to [12:23] do? Y can't even find it in the book yet. You trying to read? [12:31] is John chapter 4, I mean uh John chapter 6 verse 43. [12:40] Yosua therefore answered and said unto him, not among yourselves. Mhm. No man can come unto me except the father which [12:46] has sent me. Draw him. Right. The only way you get to the son is first the father have to draw you. Right. Keep [12:53] going. And I will raise him up at the last day. And the and the result is going to be you going to be raised up at the last day. Everything that we talk [12:59] about when it comes to the gospel has to be about the resurrection. It's something that in [13:05] Christianity they don't really harp on, right? They harp on you looking down on people from heaven. They harp on all [13:11] types of stuff. You know, I'd rather die and be with God and all that stuff. But listen, the whole hope that we have is [13:18] tied to the resurrection. Yahosua was resurrected, right? That's the that's [13:24] the key to all this. It's like you have to die and then you have to be resurrected. So he's saying the only way [13:30] you get to the son is if the father first draw you. And when he draw you, he going to bring you to the son and the [13:35] son is going to raise you up on the last day. What it say next? [13:41] I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets and they shall be all taught of God. Right? And [13:46] the prophets is written they shall be all taught. And the prophets it say Yah, [13:53] right? It say they shall all be taught of Yahwh, right? That's where the that's [13:58] where the name of name of the service came from, right? Taught of Yah, [14:03] right? You know what disciples means? Taught ones. The ones that were [14:10] taught discipline, right? That that this has to be like we [14:17] we take it for granted. We have to be taught. That's what all this stuff is [14:22] about. When Paul is talking about this stuff, he's not just picking stuff out of thin air. He's been taught what [14:29] Yahosua taught. That's why he say by whom you were called onto the fellowship [14:35] of the Messiah. Cuz that's exactly what Yahosua just said. The only way you get to me is if the father draw you. If he [14:41] call you. And after that, he going to bring you to me. And I'm going to raise you up at the last day. Now you in the [14:46] fellowship of the Messiah, right? So Paul didn't stop at just learning the law. He made sure he understood. Hey, so [14:54] uh y'all walk with him the whole time. Tell me about what he was saying. What was he [15:00] saying? And understand Paul was able to teach the gospel without anybody. Like [15:07] he didn't have to go learn from Peter or John or James. He got right to it. So [15:12] that means he got enough information to teach the gospel. But he didn't stop. He said, "You know what? Tell me a little [15:19] bit about what Yahosua was talking about." You can tell because he's he's quoting them, right? Keep going. Watch [15:26] this. Or uh jump jump back. This is uh what is it? 1 Corinthians. 1 Corinthians chapter 1. What verse? What? Uh verse 9. [15:34] This 1 Corinthians chapter 1 verse 9. 1 Corinthians chapter 1 verse [15:41] 9. [15:54] God is faithful by whom you were called unto the fellowship of unto the fellowship of his son Yosua our Lord. [16:01] Now I beseech you brethren by the name of our Lord Yosua the Messiah that you all speak the same thing. Look he said I [16:07] beseech you. He said when he beseech what beseech mean like beg you. He's like, "Man, I beg y'all that y'all all [16:13] do what?" Speak the same thing. That y'all all speak the same thing. And [16:18] what? And that there be no divisions among you. And that there be no divisions among you. Keep going. But [16:25] that ye be perfectly yay be perfectly joined together. In the same what? In the same mind and in the same judgment. [16:30] In the same mind and in the same judgment. What's the difference? What's the difference between mind and [16:36] judgment? thinking judgment is what you're doing. Right. Judgment is the decision. Right. [16:44] Right. So I'm looking think about when we say same mind and judgment it's [16:50] difficult to get a group of people to not make no mistakes in that. Right. [16:55] Having the same mind and judgment is going to say when that mistake is made we all agree on how we going to deal [17:02] with it. Right? Same mind and judgment is not saying that everybody gonna be lock and step and never make a mistake. [17:08] It's just saying when the mistake come, we all agree. That's how you got to deal with that. Everybody know if you steal, [17:15] you got to restore, right? You got to restore it. What is it? Threefold, five, fivefold, fourfold, fourfold. You got to [17:23] restore it fourfold according to our law. That's one judgment. How would we [17:28] how would we get the same judgment? Three of us in a circle. We saw saw one [17:33] of us stole. Let's say the fourth of it was four of us in the circle. One of the people stole. How do we all three say I [17:40] feel like it should be twofold? Feel like it should be. I think it should be fold. I don't like when people how do we [17:48] end up with the same jud how what one way that we can all have the same judgment no matter cuz it's like if we [17:54] based it off of how I feel. I personally feel like maybe I stole before and I know how it could be. [17:59] You know what I'm saying? Like I know like I've been through some things and sometime I I didn't been somebody who don't have nothing and be tempted to [18:06] steal. So for me it be like man ain't that big of a deal man just twofold. You know what I'm saying? If he restore [18:12] twofold you know what I'm saying? Just call it good. But then this other person was like I never stole nothing. My daddy [18:18] always told me never steal. So he look at that he's offended you. You saying something about my daddy every time you [18:23] steal something. Right. It's like okay well in that time fourfold maybe fivefold on a bad day depending on how I [18:30] feel. How do we end up with the same judgment? How can we do that? We a group of people. We all got different [18:36] experiences, different feelings. We come from different places. How in the world are we all supposed to agree on how [18:43] something should be dealt with? You got to believe the same book. You [18:50] got to believe in something that is objective that everybody can look at and it's always going to say the same thing. [18:58] It's not possible unless you believe a book. So that's why you have all these [19:03] Christians, all these darn Christians, and you got denominations coming out of their darn [19:09] ears, right? Because nobody has the same mind and the same judgment. And the [19:15] reason is is because they don't see the importance of following what the book say. It's not disputable. When we have [19:21] something that we need to judge, guess what we gonna do? All right, open it up. Let's take a look at it. What it say? [19:27] How we supposed to handle that? Right? There's one solution to so [19:34] many of our problems. Any problem that matter, any problem that got to do with anything for real, the solution is in [19:40] this book, right? We just have to look to it. [19:46] And if we did and we took it serious, we would all have the same mind and the same judgment. And that's what Paul is [19:52] begging of the Corinthians. He is like, "Man, I beseech you, man. Just I just need y'all to have no [19:59] division, right? Anything can be fixed if you have the same like everybody [20:04] going to be on the same page. If we look at it and say, you know what, I made a mistake. I agree with you. This is how [20:10] we should handle this mistake." Why? Because the book say, "Okay, then let's do it. Let's move forward. Let's take [20:16] them same actions. Everybody, the the person who commits the offense and the person who was offended is on the same [20:22] page because they got the same mind, same judgment, right? This how it's [20:27] going to be for us one day. This is how it's going to be for us, right? It's just a matter of, you know what I'm saying? How do we position ourselves? [20:33] Like we can't wait for it to be that cuz you mocking God at that point. You got to make yourself that now in in [20:40] anticipation that the most high God gonna surround you with a community in them. Keep going. [20:47] For it has been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Khloe, that there are [20:53] contentions among you. Now, this I say that every one of you saith, I am appalled. Look, he said, every one of [21:00] y'all saying, well, I'm a Paul. Just I just want y'all to tell me what this sound like. He said, every one of y'all [21:05] saying I'm appall. And I heard y'all contending. Just contend. Y'all fighting about this stuff. One person is arguing, [21:13] man. I'm with Paul, right? And who else? And I am of Apollos. No, man. I'm with [21:18] Apollos, though. Y'all remember Apollos though? We read We read about him last week. Y'all remember Apollos? Paul [21:24] walked up and he saw Apollos and Apollos was preaching the gospel, but he only knew about John the Baptist. So, we [21:31] imagine this book ain't say this, but me personally, I imagine Paul was looking at Apollos like, "That's a bad boy. He [21:38] ain't never learned the gospel and he talking that thing like that." Oh, now that's a bad boy. I imagine Paul was [21:44] looking at him like, I respect that, right? Because Paul know how that feel. You know what I'm saying? Like, oh, now I can preach. I ain't I ain't have to [21:50] learn the gospel, you know what I'm saying, from nobody else. I can preach it from the from the from the scriptures. And now he preaching it from [21:56] John the Baptist, you know what I'm saying? And he didn't hear nothing about Yahosua and Yahosua dying. So Paul [22:02] probably looking at him like, "Yeah, that's a bad boy." So you know, he was skilled with the word. So now that's why [22:08] some people was looking like I'm with Apollos cuz he was somebody who was a skilled teacher. So they starting to [22:14] choose sides. I was taught by Apollos. Oh, you was taught by Paul and I'm with Paul then. Paul said it this way. Now [22:20] Apollo said it that way. Right? And they start to choose their side. What does that sound like for [22:29] us? Ain't nothing but denominations, right? Ain't nothing but denominations. Right. When you say when [22:35] you say you uh Lutheran, right? If you of the Lutheran [22:40] denomination, that's somebody named that come from a man named Martin Luther. Not not Martin Luther King. No, [22:47] it's a different you said the original Martin Luther King Jr. was named after his dad, Martin Luther King Senior. And [22:54] Martin Luther King Senior was named after Martin Luther. And Martin Luther was a white man back in darn England or [23:01] something. I don't know where he was. He was like German or England. They say Germany had the language first and then it went moved to English. Like English [23:07] came from Ger Germans is what they say. You know what I'm saying? So it's like Martin Luther was like one of them. You [23:14] know what I'm saying? And he he he he broke off from the Catholic church and created his own little religion, his own [23:19] little Christian religion. And so then that became his. So everybody said, "I'm a Luther." And then that ended up being [23:26] Lutheran. Right. What's another Calvinist? Calvinist. Right. That was [23:31] from a name I forget his first name. John Calvin. It's John John Calvin. Same sort of situ. I don't know where John [23:37] Calvin come from. I can't I don't know. I don't know his European too, but I forget. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? [23:43] But he one of them white people too, right? John Calvin. He come he set up his thing. He said he look this that and [23:48] then people start saying I'm of Calvin. Then later on it's called a Calvinist. Right. So that's how all of [23:55] these all of these um denominations end up being created, [24:01] right? And they just start naming after one thing or another or naming after something that someone instilled into [24:07] I'm a Mormon. What do you think Mormon is, right? All these different things come from somebody's name, right? And [24:14] then they go and they follow it and they attach theel to it and they say, "I'm a Paul. I'm apollo." Let's see how Paul [24:19] feels about Let's see what Paul calls this. And I of Cphus and I of the [24:25] Messiah. Right? Cphus is Peter. So some of them is saying, "Man, no, I mess with Peter. He the one that walk with the [24:32] walk with the Messiah." And then the last one say, "I am of the Messiah." Keep going. Is the Messiah [24:39] divided? He said, "Is the Messiah divi?" Everybody got to be of the Messiah. He [24:44] said, "Is the Messiah divided? Are we taking the the Messiah and we just splitting them into different pieces?" [24:51] Notice how he started. I just don't want y'all to lose how he started. He said, "Listen, I'm writing this to the the Saints and Corinth. And I'm just begging [24:57] y'all, man. Be on the same page. Be of the same mind." Cuz I've been hearing, man, y'all there fighting with each [25:04] other. I mean, one of y'all saying I'm from Paul. This is Paul writing. One of [25:09] y'all saying y'all of me, right? Some of y'all saying I am of Apollos. Others say [25:16] I am of Stephen. Talking about Peter. I am of Peter. And then the other say, I'm of the [25:21] Messiah. And listen, is the Messiah divided? He's asking question, what are y'all talking about? Is the Messiah [25:30] divided? Is that really what's happening right now? That's not real. Keep going. Watch [25:37] this. Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I [25:42] thank God that I baptized none of you, but Chrisus and gas. Mhm. lest any should say that I had baptized in my own [25:49] name. And I baptized also the house of Stfanis. Besides, I know not whether I baptize any other. He had to clean it [25:56] up. You see him trying to clean it up. At first, he was like, "Man, I thank God I only baptized Christmas inside." And [26:02] then he got the rambling. He was like, "Hold up, I might have Stephen House." You know, I baptized Steven House. I'm [26:08] going tell you the truth. I might have baptized somebody else, but I don't really remember. You know what I'm saying? But the point is, you know what [26:14] I'm saying? I ain't I ain't baptized nobody in my own name. You know what I'm saying? I like that part. When I looked at that boy tried to clean it up. He was [26:20] like, "Now, I might have baptized a couple of y'all." You know what I'm saying? Keep going. For the Messiah sent me not to baptize, but to preach the [26:26] gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of the Messiah should be made of none effect. Right? What does that [26:32] mean? He said, "Not with wisdom of words, lest the what? Lest the cross of [26:38] Messiah should be made of none effect." What does that mean? What is he talking about? I wasn't trying to trick you or [26:44] say nothing to make myself sound all smart. You know, you know how some of these they call them apologetics is what they [26:51] call them, right? And and I don't want I don't want this to come off like they evil or they [26:57] doing something absolutely wrong, but they have the wrong focus, right? They call them apologetics. What they'll do [27:04] is they'll go dig up a whole bunch of archaeology and then they'll go talk to [27:09] atheists, right? people who don't ain't looking for the book, ain't the and they argue with them and they say, "Listen, [27:15] here's how I can prove that God is real. You look at this archaeology and this that and the other and they use [27:21] everything except scripture, right? To try to convince somebody that the Bible [27:26] is real, right? And the problem is that [27:31] people be even if you do convince somebody, you've convinced them based off of stuff." So this is what happens. [27:40] Scientists dig up I don't know let's say they they dig up what they call a stileta, right? So you d it's it's a [27:47] it's like a stone and it have you know stuff written on it. So they dig up this stone with stuff written on it, right? [27:53] And it's written in this ancient ancient language called [27:59] uh you know what I'm saying? It's called Aramaic. You know what I'm saying? It's [28:04] called it's called it's called You know what I'm saying? So, so they they go and [28:10] they dig this stuff up and then they start reading in a language and they read it and they [28:16] look right and then they realize that's saying God is real. So they use that and [28:23] they say see if you look at this stone he's telling you God is [28:28] real and then the atheist who respects science he don't respect God he respects science he look at that stone he be [28:34] looking like you're saying right but then 10 years later a [28:41] even smarter scientist come and says the previous scientist made a [28:48] mistake this is not in the language of this This is just Aramaic. And in [28:54] Aramaic, it says, "Please bring me a bowl." This is a message from one slave [29:00] to another. This has nothing to do with God. So now, what happens to that atheist who started to believe God based [29:07] on this stone? Guess what? Disproven. I knew I [29:13] shouldn't have believed y'all. Y'all are lying Christian. This that and the other, right? We have to trust the most [29:19] high God. When the most high God give us word, I know it may look like these people looking at they hear this word [29:25] and they looking like, man, don't nobody believe that stuff. You want me to believe somebody walked on water? I know [29:31] that's how they be talking. Talk. Let them talk. The word is [29:39] supposed to do what it's supposed to do. Whatever whatever they say and whatever, it's going to do what it [29:44] do, right? All we have to do is do what we supposed to do. And what were we supposed to do? Represent the word [29:50] through our behavior first above all things, right? Through our reputation, right? That's above all things. That's [29:56] the first thing before we think to open up our mouth to teach somebody to lead nobody to all. The very first thing that [30:02] we can do is represent the word through our behavior to withstand the challenges [30:08] and the tests of the world and do it through through the glory of the most high God. Right? That's the best thing [30:14] that we could do. Then the second best thing that we could do is just Say it exactly how the word say it. Teach it [30:21] exactly how the word teach it. Repeat it exactly how the word repeat it. And if you do that, it's going to do what it's [30:27] supposed to do. The word is going, you know what I'm saying? The word got a mind of its own cuz that's God. That's his spirit. Right? So it's going to do [30:34] what it do. We can't control it and we shouldn't try. Only thing we got to do is do what we supposed to do. Right? So [30:42] that's why Paul is looking like, man, listen. And were were you baptized by me? Are [30:47] you Were you baptized in my name rather? He's like, "No, man. He wasn't baptized in my name." That's crazy. Keep going. [30:54] Watch this. God sent me not to baptize, but to [31:01] preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of the Messiah should be of none effect. For the [31:06] preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness. But unto us which are saved, it is the power of God. For [31:12] it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is [31:17] the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? [31:24] For after that in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God. It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to [31:31] save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign. And he said, because the Hebrews, they require a sign. And then [31:38] the Greeks, what? And the Greeks seek after wisdom. Mhm. But we preach the Messiah crucified unto the Jews a [31:43] stumbling block and unto the Greeks foolishness. Right? So that's our people. We the way we are naturally we [31:51] want to sign. So generally it's you know it's not all the time but generally when [31:57] you go into a black church what it look like? You walk on in there playing the [32:03] music. You know what I'm saying? They playing that music. You know what I'm saying? But it's not just music. It's [32:08] It's never just gonna be just music and somebody up there singing. [32:19] Now y'all can sit down there cuz I know God moving in here. Uhuh. And so it has to be something [32:26] where Oh, I feel God in here because we require a sign. You can't just move up [32:33] just playing a little just playing the piano. Now your butt [32:40] gota, you know what I'm saying? Because we got to see, we got to see, oh, the Lord play. What we be saying? Oh, the [32:46] Lord. Oh, the Lord blessed his hands. Then, you know what I'm saying? The Lord playing through him, right? We got to [32:53] have a what they call the praise dance. I praise him. You [32:59] got to have Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You got [33:06] You know what I'm saying? You ain't never the black minds. That's all it is. They black mind. You know what I'm saying? The mind, the white mind, they [33:11] go like this. You know what I'm talking about? The black mind. Oh yeah. You know what I'm saying? White. So look, the [33:18] white mind can't handle too much going on at once. It's just a box. You know what I'm saying? Us, it's the matrix in [33:24] this thing. You know what I'm saying? Like what you It's moving all around. You know what I'm saying? Like that's [33:29] us. Cuz when we get to doing that, no, God is moving in here. You know what I'm [33:36] saying? Because that's what we require. You can't you can't get Why you think it's empty in here? Cuz all I'm doing to [33:43] preach some word. Well, we don't want to see no word. Prove it. When Yosua popped [33:48] up, what we say to him? Give us a sign. Give us a sign to say that you came from [33:54] him. What authority or what sign? How you going to come over here talking to us, knocking over table, but we are knocked you out in [34:01] here. You got to give us a sign. That's our people. That's in the streets. But [34:07] to our defense though, that's how God will come to us in the future. That's how he set us up. Yeah, he set us up. [34:14] You know what I'm saying? He set us up. That's how it's supposed to be though. But that's how we want it. Remember [34:20] Yahosua said they won't believe unless we give them a sign. Yeah. Like [34:29] That's right. Yeah. Right. We in there. We You know what I'm saying? Moses told us, "Don't go up on that mountain now. [34:35] Don't touch the mountain." Listen. Build a burri on the mountain. No, we told you remember the people grab grab Exodus [34:43] chapter 19 cuz y'all y'all don't realize how black we are. Watch this. This Exodus chapter [34:50] 19. You got to imagine we just left Egypt. We walk around at this point. I [34:56] think Moses already gave us some water out of out of a rock. And at this point, the quail already started coming out, [35:02] right? Yeah. Quail and mana, I think, already happened at this point. Mana for sure. Right. So, we didn't we good. We [35:10] fed, right? Exodus chapter 19. I don't know what verse you going to have to help me out [35:15] with. What verse? Probably probably towards the middle. Maybe towards the middle. What's the last verse in Exodus? [35:21] Exodus 19. It's probably towards the middle. But um what was I saying? We we [35:26] already got the mana. You know what I'm saying? We already got water to come out of the rock, right? Excuse me. So we we [35:33] kind of f we good. We satisfied. This is a happy time. 21. Verse 21. I want 21 or [35:39] I want a little bit before that. You want 21. So then we probably like we we satisfied. We happy. It's a good time. [35:45] We excited. And then watch this. This is Exodus chapter 19 verse 21. Watch what Moses say to And Yahweh said unto Moses, [35:52] "Go down. Charge the people lest they break through unto Yahweh the gaze and many of them perish." Right? So Most [35:57] High God just before that, what he's setting up is like, "Hey, call everybody to the mountain. I'm about to talk to [36:03] him." This is what he telling Moses. But Moses then he tell Moses like, "Yeah, but don't don't let them come up cuz [36:09] they going to try they going to try to come up and they going to try to look at them. They going to try to see what's going on. Don't let them do that." But [36:15] watch what happened. And let the priests also which come near to Yahweh sanctify themselves lest Yahweh break forth upon [36:20] them. And they said priests. Who is the priest? A who? Aaron [36:28] really right now. Well at that time it'd be the first born [36:34] right before Aaron was commissioned. It'd be the first born. Yeah. The first born. All right. Keep going. Watch this. [36:43] Um, and Moses said unto Yahweh, the people cannot come up to Mount Si, for [36:48] the for thou chargeest thus, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it. And Yahweh said unto him, Away, get thee [36:55] down, and thou shalt come up thou and Aaron with thee, but let not the priests of the people break through to come unto [37:01] the come unto Yahweh, lest he break forth upon them. Right? So, you see what happened? He told him, he already [37:07] previous to this, he already gave him instruction. Put bounds around. He reminded Moses. Moses, make sure you put [37:13] the bounds around. Don't let them go through. Moses like, "No, I already told the people. They good. They know [37:18] better." Y'all was like, "Boy, take your butt down there and don't let them break [37:24] through like I told you." Cuz y'all already know, right? So [37:29] we we down there happy golucky like, "Oh yeah, God about to speak to us. It's good." Oh yeah. Now Moses, remember we [37:35] just got done complaining all that. Most high God starts speaking from that mountain. What we say? Make them stop. [37:42] Grab uh grab uh Exodus chapter 20. Give me verse [37:48] 23. I think it's about 23. This is Exodus chapter 20. Help me out with what verse? It's probably my guess is [37:58] 20. This is Exodus chapter 20. What verse? Hold on. [38:12] 18. 18. This is Exodus chapter 18. Yeah, it's Exodus chapter 20 verse 18. Off the [38:19] book, sir. And all the people saw the thunderings and the lightnings and the noise of the trumpet and the mountain smoking and with the and when the people [38:26] saw it, they removed and stood a far off. And you got to put yourself in there cuz this ain't no regular. It [38:31] ain't You're not just on no mountain. There's crazy stuff happening on the top of this mountain right now. That's thunder, lightning, and fire coming out [38:38] of the mountain and it's earthquake and it's all these different things. Can you imagine one of those by itself, it's [38:44] like, you know what I'm saying? You get thunder, you see thunder and lightning be like, "Oo." You know what I'm saying? [38:50] Now you got fire coming off of the mountain, right? You got a earthquake happening at the same time. And you got [38:56] the thunder and the lightning and what else? And the smoke. And the smoke coming up. Uh, and the people stood a [39:03] far off and they said to Moses, "Speak thou with us and we will hear, but let not God speak with us lest we die." [39:08] Yeah. Now we good. Guess what? We just got a sign. We just got a sign that made us believers. As soon as [39:17] we got that sign, we l ain't playing. I ain't trying to go up on that mountain. We good. We good. No. Matter of fact, [39:23] you just go up there and talk to him. We'll be right here. Matter of fact, we about to be over there. You know what [39:28] I'm saying? Like, we going down there. Whatever y'all want to do, y'all let y'all talk about it and then bring that back to us. We'll figure it out, right? [39:36] Because we get a sign. So, like like the brother said, this is how Yahw [39:41] introduced himself to us through signs and wonders, right? He introduced himself to us as a people separate. We [39:48] we knew about Adam, we knew about Eve, we knew about Cain, we knew about Seth, we knew about uh Abraham, we knew, you [39:54] know what I'm saying? Like that's Noah, all that, right? But he introduced us separate from the rest of the world as [40:01] signs. First thing he popped out, he say, "Moses, tell them that I am sent [40:06] you." And when they don't believe you, what you supposed to do and throw that staff on the ground, I become a snake. [40:12] Turn a little bit of water, turn into blood. You know what I'm saying? They'll believe you after that. Signs. That's [40:19] all it took. Once once we saw that, it's like, "All right, well, let's do it, Moses." You know what I'm saying? No, he [40:25] the real dude. No, I saw it for real. You saw the snake. You saw it, too. I didn't see it, but they saw that's my [40:30] daddy. He never lied. I'm my daddy. And then the word spread. Moses turned to he the one. Let's do it. We saw a sign. [40:39] Now, juxtapose that to white church, general white church. What are they [40:45] doing up there? The church father said, "That's right. This is John Calvin." and he said [40:54] this that no. They're using wisdom, right? They appeal to they [40:59] people with facts and history and science and all this stuff and they put [41:04] all that stuff together and they be looking like, "Praise God." You know what I'm saying? Praise the Lord, [41:11] brother. No. Yeah. No. John Calvin, oh, he had a blessed mind of God, right? [41:19] It's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with requiring a sign. There's nothing wrong with requiring [41:24] wisdom because both of them are from God. Here's the problem. The word has to [41:31] be superior. The word has to come first. If you have word and you make that the [41:38] focus point and then you add on to that wisdom, then you do. That's what the word [41:43] say. He say add on to add on to it knowledge. That's what the word say. If [41:49] you have word and then from the word you look for a sign that line up with the word. Well, that's what the word [41:57] say. But when we prefer the sign above the word or prefer the wisdom above the word, when we when we attach ourselves [42:04] to the word, I mean to the wisdom or to the uh sign, that's where we are [42:09] deceived, right? And that's what Paul is trying to explain right here. Keep going. Watch the uh this is uh 1 [42:15] Corinthians uh 1 Corinthians chapter 1 verse what? 22. 22. We should be almost. [42:20] What's the last verse? Uh 31. 31. [42:27] This is 1 Corinthians chapter 1 verse 22. Watch the book say. For the Jews [42:32] require a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom. But we preach the Messiah crucified unto the Jews a stumbling [42:38] block, and unto the Greeks foolishness. But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, the Messiah, the power [42:44] of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger [42:51] than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men [42:56] after the flesh, not many mighty, not many mo noble are called. But God has [43:01] chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the [43:07] things that are mighty. Right? Do you understand what he what what God is doing? We talk about all the time. We [43:12] talk about Gideon. This is it's just such a good example, right? God don't want ah where's it [43:20] at? Uh give me [43:25] judges. Where's Gideon? Deborah is five, six. So we have Gideon should be [43:33] eight. Maybe nine. Probably nine is maybe 10 is what I'm looking for. Give [43:38] me Judges chapter 9. Give me verse. I'm about to just take a shot in [43:45] the dark. But let me tell you, this a sign. You know what I'm saying? It's a sign. If Let me tell you, the Lord [43:50] moving in here. Look, this is nine. This It ain't gonna be nine, but [43:57] it's okay. Let's just do nine. Last verse of nine is probably [44:03] what? That last verse is what? 27. 20. Am I way off? Seven. [44:14] Gideon is an eight. Did he start in eight? If Gideon starting eight, I won't not. No, since [44:20] he starting seven. He start seven. So, I want eight. I want to say it's a seven. Start [44:27] before that. Actually, he didn't start before seven. Six. He started six. So, [44:33] he I thought he started in 10, honestly. Yeah. I thought Deborah was still in six. Um, okay. So if he starting six, I [44:40] might want seven. Might want [44:46] seven. I might want seven. He go all the way from six to eight. [44:52] Yeah, it's seven. Scan through. I want seven. What verse? We'll start at one. [44:57] This is uh this is uh get uh not G. This is uh this is a judges chapter 7 verse [45:03] one. Then Jeru Bale, who is Gideon, and all [45:09] the people that were with him rose up early and pitched beside the well of Herod. So that the host of the [45:14] Midionites were on the north side of them by the hill of Mor in the valley. Mhm. And when they say the host of the [45:21] Midionites, they're talking about the army. So they're saying the army of the Midianites was over on the north, right? [45:27] Watch what Gideon did. Yahweh said unto Gideon, "The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midionites into their hands." How many [45:33] people was with them? See if you can find how many people was with him in uh it might it might say keep reading it [45:38] might say later. It said the people that was with you is too. He told look the most high God spoke to Gideon. He said [45:44] Gideon you got too many people with you. But y'all have to imagine y'all have to [45:50] put yourself there. Okay. We going to I feel like already I'm chosen by God. God [45:56] appeared to me already and gave me what? A sign. Right. So he already appeared to [46:02] me. I wasn't really trusting him at first. And I said, "Well, give me a sign. I'll tell you what. If I lay what [46:08] was it? Fleece." Yeah. If I lay this fleece down the grass and you put the I forget what order, but if you put the [46:13] dew on the fleece and not on the grass, and then he reversed it cuz God did it. He like, "Okay, well that might be [46:18] possible." Yeah. It's not It's not saying, "But put the de on the grass and [46:24] not on the fleece. Now you're doing something." God did it both ways. He said, "No, that's a bad boy there." [46:30] Okay. All right. You know what I'm saying? what you want me to do then? So then he already feel chosen. He's trying [46:35] to prepare to take over the Midianites who've been kind of terrorizing us and oppressing us. So he looking like God [46:41] chose me. I'm ready to do this. So of course, what do you do? They got a big army up north. You know what I'm going [46:47] to do? I'm going get as many of my people as Hey, bro. Can you fight? You fight. You gather up a big army just [46:54] like theirs, man. We about to go to war with these boy. We ready. We ready to go to war. We're prepared. We got [47:00] everything we need. Of course, this is what God want because I He chose me. And [47:06] all of a sudden, all these people want to fight. These people been here the whole time. Ain't nobody want to fight against them. He chose me. Give me a [47:13] sign. I start gathering people and people like, "Yeah, let's do it. This out of nowhere, of course, this is what [47:19] God want." Right? So, you start going, you ready? Most High God say, "Yeah, yeah. Yep. Yep. Young B. Hey, you got [47:26] too many with you." You got to you got to look at that and be like, "What do you mean too many? We [47:32] trying to win, ain't you? You throw you throw people at the problem when you at war. Ain't we trying to win? What you [47:39] mean too many?" Watch what he said. Keep going. And the And Yahweh said unto [47:45] Gideon, "The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midionites into their hands, lest Israel [47:50] vaunt themselves against me, saying, my own hand has saved me." Right? So what you think going to happen if you super [47:58] smart? I mean you know all the history, all the science, your math skills is [48:03] impeccable and you try to teach people God through that. What you think you [48:10] going to say? Ain't nobody teach the me because [48:17] no one has the wisdom. No one has the knowledge. It ain't going to happen day one. No, it's [48:24] gonna be years later. Years, years, years after you done built seven churches, you gonna say it is my wisdom. [48:32] Have you seen these other people try to teach it the way I teach it? They can't because my wisdom is the what does [48:39] it. Oh, right. That's how the most high God like, no, no, no, no, no. You got too [48:46] many people with you. I know how this going to play out. Y'all stuck up bunch. Y'all can't wait to take credit for something. You know what I'm saying? [48:52] Just relax. But yeah, put put some of them people back, right? Same thing with the [48:57] sign, right? If you get to thinking that you doing miracles and doing all this stuff, what you think going to happen if [49:04] people believe I'm miracle, right? And you going to be deceived for for people lying to [49:12] you. Keep going. Watch [49:18] this. Now therefore go to proclaiming the ears of the people, saying, "Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let [49:24] him return and depart early from the mount Gilead." And there returned of the [49:30] people 22,000, and there remained 10,000. There was 22,000 [49:37] people, right? 22,000 people. Do y'all know how many? [49:43] That's a That's uh 22,000. What's 22,000? Basketball. That's Yeah, that's probably basketball. That's like a [49:49] That's a like a smaller basketball. Is it smaller? No. 22,000 about That's about That's about an NBA. That's an [49:55] NBA. Not stadium. What's it called? Arena. That's about an arena, right? That's a That's about You know what I'm [50:01] saying? Almost full arena in most cases. Most of the arenas, right? 22,000. So, just imagine what the traffic look like [50:08] if you live in a city that got a pro team. what the traffic looked like after the game end or right before the game [50:16] start, right? Imagine that's your that's your warriors. That's that's who you [50:21] going to war with. All you do you got people in armor with weapons that many of them they can fill [50:29] up they can fill up T-Mobile. The T-Mobile ain't nobody don't know what that is. They can fill up the Madison [50:35] Square Garden. You know what I'm saying? They can fill up uh what's our new thing called in in LA? The crypto center. [50:42] Crypto.com center. They can fill up the you know what I'm saying? The staple center, right? Imagine that's so many [50:50] people. That's ridiculous. You got to know that Gideon was so confident that we we Oh, these these uh these [50:58] Midianites didn't know what was about to hit them. And then the most high God say, "Okay, anybody who's scared, send [51:03] them back." some of them boys first chance they got like man look y ain't [51:08] got no I'mma go I'm just going to go on back home then you know what I'm saying so then more than half of them left book [51:15] say it was how many uh 22,000 and there remain 10,000 so 22,000 left and there's [51:21] 10,000 or 32 so it's even more yeah now we now we almost the stadium we almost [51:29] you know what I'm saying we almost filling up a stadium cuz I want the stadium like 50,000 right maybe a little more more than 50,000 [51:35] Boy, baby. Them boys be selling out stadium. They crazy. That's a lot of money, right? That's what Kendrick [51:42] doing. Kendrick doing a stadium. You know what I mean? He trying to He trying to Kendrick and Scissor. They trying to do a stadium. Who else [51:48] did Beyonce be doing stadium? Taylor Swift. DMX. They don't count [51:55] white people do stadium cuz it's like you ain't doing that to me. You not really doing nothing. You man, y'all got [52:01] all this population. You know what I'm saying? The whole thing. You better do a stadium. If I see a white person in the [52:06] arena, be like, "Man, you jump." You know what I'm saying? You jump. You ain't do. You know what I'm saying? Now, black person, you doing something. You [52:12] doing so a black person fill up a stadium. That's crazy. You know what I'm [52:18] saying? That's crazy. But, um, so it's so so the brother clarified [52:23] 22,000 left and there there were still 10,000 that remain that they was ready. They [52:30] was down. We ain't scared of nothing. Let's see what the most high God because surely you shave off 22,000, right? [52:38] Surely that's enough. Now God, can you work with 10,000? Let's see what the most high God say. Yeah. Who said unto [52:44] Gideon, the people are yet too many. Bring them down into the water. Too many. Come on down to this water. What [52:50] happened? And I will try them there for thee there. And it shall be that of whom I say unto thee, this shall go with [52:56] thee, the same shall go with thee. And whomsoever I say unto thee, this shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. [53:01] Mhm. So he brought down the people unto the water. And Yahweh said unto Gideon, "Everyone that lapped of the water with [53:08] his tongue, as a dog lapeth, him shalt thou set by himself. Likewise, everyone that bowed down on his knees to drink. [53:15] And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were 300 men. But the rest of the people [53:21] bowed down upon their knees to drink water." And Yahweh said unto Gideon, "By the 300 men that have lapped will I save [53:26] you, and deliver the Midionites into the hand into thine hand, and let the other people go, every man unto his place." So [53:33] the people took vituals in their hand, and their trumpets, and he sent them, and he sent all the rest of Israel, [53:38] every man into his tent, and retained those 300 men. And the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley. Right? So [53:46] now Midian had enough of a army. We I mean, no, no, Midian had enough of a [53:51] army. We thought that we needed 32,000 people to fight against the most, you [53:57] have to understand the sheer number. The most high God took us from [54:03] 32,000 to 300 men and said, "Okay, now [54:08] go fight." This is exactly what Paul is trying to teach us. He's saying look, [54:15] God is going to prove what he going to prove to everybody with the people that we that that the people who are wise [54:22] think are foolish. So he not going to take these people with masters and doctor degrees [54:28] and make them the ones. And that's not to invalidate anybody who got a master and you got a master degree, you got a doctor. That's not saying that God ain't [54:34] going to use you and can't use you. What I'm saying is when he's trying to expose a thing or when he when he in the past [54:41] when he's exposed a thing, he did it with the least likely option. He did it when everybody would look at it and be [54:47] like, "No freaking way. There's no way that that you could do that." That's why the Pharisees who Pharisees and the [54:54] Sadducees who ran the town, right, who were leaders in our community, that's why they looked at it like, "Who are [55:00] these boys from Galilee? Nothing is supposed to come out of Galilee?" That's what their mindset was. So that's what [55:07] Paul's trying to explain. Like you got to understand how God works. God is not going to take the most prominent. God is [55:13] not going to God would have never came to Pharaoh and said, "Pharaoh, I'm using you. Let the people go." And then [55:18] Pharaoh come out and say, "All right, Hebrews, go." Cuz what would have happened if that was the case? Pharaoh [55:24] would have been like, "I think I heard God." But then again, I think maybe I I'm the one who [55:31] came up with that idea to let the Yeah, I'm the Lord Jesus Christ, guys. You know what I'm saying? I let you go. You [55:37] know what I'm saying? Like, I did that out of my And then all of a sudden, you just take all of God's glory. But then [55:43] people are going to believe it, right? So God is looking like, "No, I'm not going to use Pharaoh. You know, I'mma [55:50] use I'mma use the boy they ran up out of here. I'mma use Moses who's against [55:56] Pharaoh who's one man. You know what I'm saying? Used to be in Pharaoh's house [56:01] and got ran off. He was on the run. I'mma use him. The one who was in exile [56:08] for 40 years. I'mma use him and bring him back. Now, [56:15] likely, why? Because who ran who ran Moses off? The Egyptians. The Egyptians. [56:21] Yeah. Pharaoh. Pharaoh was trying to kill [56:28] killing. I'll snitch on your butt right now. Our [56:33] people ran them off. We said, "Boy, I snitch." Who mean who made you judge over us? We told him there are king was [56:40] it king? Who made maybe king? Who made you judge over us or king over us? One of them, right? It look like boy, but [56:46] you gonna kill me like you killed that Egyptian. And once he said that most heard that they know they know he said [56:53] that n bro you like that boy got Louis I like to imagine he ran that boy ran all [56:59] the way to mini. Yeah, I like the racing all the way across the thing. I like to imagine he was like, "Oh, you know about that?" M. You know, Moses was confident [57:07] before that. Moses was Malcolm X before that. Moses was like, "No, brother." You know what I'm saying? Moses was talking [57:12] like Farrakhan. Now, brother, you know, you don't need to be fight. You know what I'm saying? Moses would come in [57:18] there. No, brother. Like that. That man said, "Hold on. Put your hands on me." You know what I'm saying? Who made you [57:24] judge over what? Oh. Oh, what you cuz you know, you know he be Oh, what? Oh, what you going you going to kill me like [57:30] you did the Egyptian other day? Most heard that. He like n uh [57:37] n heard about that. You say uh you saw that? Who else thought? We all [57:46] saw what's over there. You know what I'm saying? Moses got out of die, right? [57:52] Because we look at the most high God said, "Let me use something that nobody's going to believe in. Let me use [57:58] something that like you couldn't write this story. You wouldn't make it up. It don't make no sense to nobody how this [58:04] is about to play out. And I'm going to give you signs and then I'm going to give you wisdom. But it's all predicated [58:12] on the word. Like everything got to come off of the word. If we got that in our mindset, nope, I'm telling I'm I'm not [58:19] telling you this cuz I know it or because I'm I'm I'm I'm great enough to know this. I'm telling you because the [58:24] word is telling you. You cannot be deceived if you believe this [58:30] word. This is what Yahosua was saying when he uh when he was talking [58:38] to what is this? Y when Yahosua was talking to the disciples and he was [58:43] telling them how the world was going, right? He said to him, he was like, "Listen, if no one will be able to gain, [58:49] that's what he said. No one will be able to gain you." game say means it's like it's like saying argue against you. You [58:56] know what I'm saying? And what he's telling them is it's like if you understand this word, if you understand my teachings, ain't nobody say what they [59:02] going to say. You got the truth on your it don't matter what they say. They can't speak against this. And that's a [59:08] confidence that we got to have walking in everywhere. I got the word. I understand this word. I know this word. [59:13] What you going to say? Like what are you going to say to me? What you going to argue with your wisdom? What miracle you [59:20] think you going to do that's going that's going to defeat the word? You done lost your darn mind. Get your butt [59:26] down and be patient. Let's go. Uh let's go back. [59:31] This is uh 1 Corinthians. Where we at? We still in verse chapter one. Yeah. One verse 27. Sweet. So I got to shut my [59:37] darn mouth. This is first Corinthians chapter 1. Give me verse whatever we at. [59:42] What verse is it? 27. It's verse 27. [59:56] It's first Corinthians chapter 1 verse 27. Watch what the books say. But God has chosen the foolish things of the [60:02] world to confound the wise. And God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things that are which are mighty. And base things of the world and [60:09] things which are despised has God chosen. Yay. And things which are not to bring to not things that are. Mhm. that [60:16] no flesh should glory in his presence, but of him are ye in the Messiah, Yahosua, who of God is made unto us [60:24] wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption. That according as it is written, he that glorithth, let him glory in Yahweh. [60:31] Right? So in other words, if we going to be proud of something, if we going to have pride in anything, if we going to have glory in anything, we should glory [60:38] and be proud in that we know God, right? We know the word and other, [60:44] right? Keep going. [60:51] Chapter 2. Yeah, this is uh 1 Corinthians chapter 2 verse one. [61:00] And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellent excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you [61:06] the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you, except Yahosua the Messiah, and him crucified. [61:13] And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with [61:18] enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the spirit and of power. That your faith should not stand [61:24] in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Right? So this is exactly what we was trying to explain earlier is he's [61:29] saying I'm not I He's like I intentionally pretended like I didn't [61:35] know things except for the word because I want the reason you believe. I want it [61:41] to be the word. Not because I came here and I'm speaking all this fancy language to you or I'm telling you about all [61:46] these facts and all this stuff that other people agree with. No, I just want you to believe the word. Keep going. [61:52] That your faith should not stand in wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Mhm. How be it, we speak wisdom among [61:58] them that are perfect, yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world that come to nothing. Mhm. [62:04] But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wi hidden wisdom which God ordained before the [62:10] world unto our glory, which none of the princes of this world knew. For had they known it, they would not have crucified [62:16] the Lord of glory. But as it is written, eye has not seen, nor ear has heard, neither have entered into the heart of [62:22] man the things which God has prepared for them that love him. But God has revealed them unto us by his spirit. For [62:28] the spirit searchth all things, yay, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, except the spirit [62:36] of man, which is in him? Even so, the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God. Now, we have received not [62:42] the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God, that we might know, the things that are freely given to us of [62:48] God, which things also we speak, not in the words which men's wisdom teaches. What verse is that? 13. Go back. Go back [62:57] to go back to um go back 13. Go back to verse 11. But [63:05] what man knoweth the things of man except the spirit of man which is in him. Right? So what man knoweth the [63:10] things of man except the spirit of man that is in him. Right? So what that's [63:18] telling us, we was talking about something. What were we talking about? What were we talking about? Wasn't we [63:23] talking about this? Was it on the fellowship call? We talking about the spirit and there's like a spirit. Each [63:29] person has they has a spirit. H I can't remember [63:37] what. Yeah, each person got a spirit. We is talking about this and I was looking [63:42] for this verse and I couldn't find it. So I wanted to it's gonna come back to [63:47] me. But it's important that y'all know that there is the spirit of the most [63:53] high God, right? That's capital S, right? We usually going to have a capital S on that one. Not necessarily [63:59] in the book, but just saying for us if we were to write it, it'd be a capital. It's the spirit of God. It's the Holy Spirit, right? But then each person has [64:06] their spirit as well, right? So your spirit knows things about you that you [64:14] don't understand about you yourself. So when you pray, right, your spirit can [64:21] also communicate to the most high God. That's your spirit that's communicating in a spiritual sense. So that's what [64:28] speaking in tonesues is, right? You speaking in tonesues, you're praying to the most high God in a way that your [64:34] spirit is communicating on your behalf to God. That's why you don't understand it. Right? So that's that's what he's [64:41] talking about here. You're not necessarily speaking in tongues directly, but he's just saying your spirit knows more about you than what [64:47] you know about you. There's things that about you that you can't even comprehend about yourself, right? And and we all [64:54] should know that because we all, you know, I I've I've talked I've tal I've talked to to many people about what they [65:01] want in life. I want a man that's like this. I I need a girl that's like this [65:07] and like that. And then they get it or they get something totally opposite. and [65:12] they fall in love with what's totally opposite of what they want or they get what they want and just looking like man [65:17] I don't want right because we don't really know we don't really be knowing ourselves we just be going with the flow [65:24] going whatever's clever in our mind at the time even if it's detrimental to us even if it's self-destructive to us so [65:31] and the and that's just an example of how we don't really know ourselves right and so what this is saying is that's [65:38] because so much of us is on a spiritual level and our spirit spirit understands it. Our spirit can kind of see like no [65:45] them is demons that's making you do them is evil spirits that's that's that's driving you that way. It's evil spirits [65:51] that's making you feel emotional like this. It's evil spirits that's making you this that no it's the spirit of God [65:57] that that made you you know what I'm saying made you go that direction instead of this direction. Right? And so [66:02] our spirit man can kind of look and see like everything that's happening that we can't see and we just trying to [66:08] interpret it through h you know what I'm saying? Oh, I see lights over there and I see darkness over there. And we trying [66:13] to interpret the world through what we see with our eyes. Our spirit can see it at different levels. That's what he's trying to explain, right? [66:27] Holy Spirit. No. Well, I don't know. I guess maybe you can interpret it that way, but [66:34] no, I wouldn't look it as like a piece of the Holy Spirit. So, the question was, you know what I'm saying? if if [66:39] there's a spirit in each of us, is it a is it like a slice of the pie of the Holy Spirit? Right? So, I wouldn't look [66:46] at it. I don't have nothing in the book that would that that would give me that impression. And the reason why I say that is because when Yahosua um when [66:55] Yahushua when Yahosua was given the spirit, he was given the spirit of God, [67:01] right? When Adam was given the spirit, it was breathing, the breath of life, right? And it was life. What it takes to [67:07] make you alive. Yeah. So, I see the spirit as more maybe maybe more like plugging you into a wall. You know what [67:14] I'm saying? Like, so we got we got all you know what I'm saying? We got we got the computer and we got the software on [67:19] the computer and we got, you know what I'm saying? We got we got the the the hard hard drive in there. Everything [67:24] good. But if it ain't plugged into the wall, ain't nothing happen, right? And so that's kind of how we are. So Adam [67:32] came from the dirt. He was made and he had his software, he had the hardware, everything was good. Somebody had to [67:38] charge him up though. You know what I'm saying? Most high God was like got the thing charged him right on up. Now he [67:43] animated. He's good. Right now he can move on his own. All his software starting to work. He's powered up. So I [67:49] kind of look at that as the spirit like the spirit of life kind of gives a spirit and it sticks with us. And then when he gives when he when when he he he [67:57] impregnates Eve then she starts to carry that creates another spirit in her. [68:02] Right? So she carries another spirit but that spirit came from him. It didn't come from God. So Adam got his spirit [68:07] from God and then Adam's spirit began to reproduce new spirits, right? And they [68:12] and just new spirits is growing. But those spirits came from Adam and Eve and then came from Seth and then came from [68:18] and then came from and then came from until we get to where we are now. So we got those spirits. I wouldn't necessarily say it's a slice of God. [68:24] It's more of a slice of descendants of Adam. And then from there, right, you [68:30] also have other spirits, right? have the angels were made spirits, right? Satan is a spirit, right? So, all these things [68:36] are spirits. All these things are moving around the spirit. And I don't see them as slices of God either. They're their [68:41] own created spirits that the most high God uses for whatever his purposes [68:47] are. Let's go to uh All right, keep going. Keep going. That was what verse 11 12. Yeah, keep going. Uh we are [68:56] on 12. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God, that we might know the [69:02] things that are freely given to us of God, which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but [69:09] which the Holy Spirit teaches, com comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receives [69:16] not the things of the spirit of God. For they are foolishness foolishness unto him, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. For he [69:23] that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who has known the mind of Yahweh? He said, [69:30] who has known the mind of Yahweh? Watch this. That he may instruct him. But we [69:36] have the mind of the Messiah. Oh, we got grab uh Deuteronomy chapter [69:41] 29. It's Deuteronomy chapter 29 29. And then I want uh Psalm Psalm chapter uh 78 [69:49] verse1. You said 29:29. Yeah. Deuteronomy 29:29. Then after that we go [69:54] into Psalm 78 [70:00] verse1. Who has known the mind of [70:06] Yahwh? Deuteronomy chapter 29 29. Watch what the book [70:12] say. The secret things belong unto Yahweh our God. But those things which are revealed belong to us and to our [70:19] children forever that we may do all the words of this law. Right? So there are there are so many things that the most [70:25] high God has not revealed to us. But our focus can't be the things that have not [70:31] been revealed. He's saying the part that belongs to us is the peace that he has revealed to us. Right? Give me Psalm. [70:38] This is Psalm 78. Right? We we get there's so many [70:44] people that get lost. A lot of our Hebrew brothers is like this. They get lost not because they're intentionally [70:50] trying to be rebellious initially, right? But what they trying to do is they trying to find out the stuff that [70:55] haven't been revealed while they they have what has been revealed right in front of them. [71:02] Right. Right in front of you got people that jump straight to I want to read the [71:08] book of Jubilees. They haven't run the read the scripture one time, but they want to go jump into [71:15] these books that are questionable because they mind is going to oh, give me the stuff that hasn't been revealed [71:22] yet. Not saying Jubilees haven't been revealed, but I'm just telling you the mindset of the people. The mindset of [71:28] the people is give me what has not been revealed. So, they want to go to the books that nobody's touched yet without [71:34] at least starting with the basics. And that's what leads us to [71:39] deception, right? Because he's trying to tell us, man, look, the secret thing. I know I just told you that your spirit [71:45] knows stuff about you. Do not go and try to get into the spiritual world and tap into it. That's a secret thing. If it's [71:52] going to be revealed, it's going to be revealed to you. Right? That's how Paul writes. Like [71:58] he tell you something, then he try to balance you. Like, hold on. You know what I'm saying? Don't go too far now. Relax. You know, I'm just tell I'm just [72:04] telling you something. Relax. I'm just giving you context. Relax a little bit. This is Psalm 78:1. Watch what the book [72:11] say. Give ear, oh my people, to my law. Incline your ears to the words of my [72:17] mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old which we have heard and known and [72:24] our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of [72:30] Yahweh and his strength and his wonderful works that he hath done. For he establishes he established a [72:37] testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel which he commanded our fathers that they should make them known to [72:42] their children. This is what's been revealed, right? The testimony, the [72:49] law. He's telling, he said, "Look, man, some secret things, but the stuff that's been revealed," he told us that in the [72:55] law, the stuff that been revealed belong to you and your children. What he say there? Now, I'mma open up my mouth now [73:01] and I'm going to give you a parable. I'm going to give you a proverb. But the testimony in the law, [73:09] that's for your children. So, I'm telling you the same thing, right? But [73:15] the stuff that's revealed for us, guess what? We don't want it. What we want to do is we want to chase prophecies that [73:21] haven't been revealed all day. What Revelation is talking about. You ain't even read the scriptures yet. That what [73:28] me and brother T did. Me and Brother T, you know what I'm saying? Me and Brother T, look, we sat down, high out our darn [73:34] mind. We sat down. We was in your room, right? Yeah. We was in your room. You know what I'm saying? I don't know what [73:39] happened that night. We had no, as the kid say, we had no motion that night. You know what I'm saying? Wasn't [73:44] nothing. We couldn't get nothing cracking. Obviously, we sitting down in his room, you know what I'm saying? He got a bed that's like this big. You know [73:50] what I'm saying? You know, so our elbows touching in his bed, you know what I'm saying? We looking like we in the book [73:55] and we reading, we got a magnifying glass looking at, you know what I'm saying? Looking at Revelation thinking [74:01] we got something. I'm sitting here, I think I said Philippians. Oh, that's talking about [74:06] Filipinos. You know what I'm saying? I'm looking like that's bro, we about to crack it. We ain't read a lick of this [74:13] Bible. We just jump right to Revelation trying to figure something out, right? Because our mindset through through [74:19] deception is looking at how do I get to what hasn't been revealed yet. Don't nobody want to start with the basics, [74:26] right? That's what this is trying to tell us is we have to be starting with the basic. What did God reveal to you? [74:33] Take that and then do something with it. And then he that is faithful over what? [74:39] Little is going to be made faithful over what? Much. That's how I It's simple [74:44] stuff. This he not giving you no math. He not asking you the square root or nothing, right? He just telling you, [74:50] "Look, just just do what I told you to do." It's so It's so simple. Take this [74:55] little bit I give you and come back when you're done. I got more for you, right? [75:02] Grab uh grab uh let's go back. This is uh give me uh chapter 3. It's 1 Corinthians chapter 3. Give me verse [75:09] what? Yeah, I might as well start at one. Jump on down though. Give me give me verse Give me verse verse [75:17] 10. This is uh 1 Corinthians chapter 3 [75:22] verse 10. According to the grace of God which is given unto me as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation and [75:28] another buildeth thereon. He know he look Paul know he as a wide master builder. I laid that foundation now. He [75:36] like don't worry about it. Somebody else going to have to build on it. That's what me and sister Pam was talking about earlier. Right. We talking about it's [75:43] like sometime we it be all about us in our minds. We thinking like man I just they just won't listen to me when I'm [75:50] tell I be telling them about the Bible. I ain't done nothing but right by them. And they and they reject this word. I'm [75:56] telling them it's the truth. I know. I'm um I get it. Shut up. Just do what you [76:03] supposed to do and then go like this. We'll see. We'll see. This is what I [76:09] hope for. This is what I'm talking to God about. This is what I'm praying about, right? We'll see. And let it play [76:15] out. Because as a wise master builder, you lay that foundation and you already know that's a foundation there. Somebody [76:22] going to build on that. You know what I'm saying? You ain't got to worry about that. The way I just laid that thing out, I know they acting like they don't [76:27] get it. That's good foundation. Sometime, I ain't gonna lie to you nowadays, it used to get to me nowadays. [76:34] Sometimes I lay that thing out and I could just see it in people face. They be looking like they only admit it. They [76:39] be looking like, "Oh yeah, I know you ain't got nothing for that." I Oh yeah, [76:45] three years from now, y'all going to touch you now. You know what I'm saying? Y'all going to touch I like that now. I [76:50] like I like when I can I know I talk to a person and then I see five years [76:56] later, seven years later, they come back to me. It's like, "Oh, no. I met a brother over here and the brother told me this, that, and the other." So, you [77:02] know, now I'm in the word. I'll be looking like, "He got your butt." You know what I'm saying? It's that foundation. You know what I'm saying? [77:07] Don't try to take nothing away from my foundation. You know what I'm saying? It's that foundation. Don't even worry about it. You know what I'm saying? [77:13] That's how we got to look at it. That's what Paul's saying. It's like, man, look, I laid the foundation. Remember [77:18] Paul having left his original topic. I'm not worried about Apollos or Cphus or [77:24] nothing. We all are the Messiah. He's telling you I laid the foundation. Somebody else going to come. So yeah, if [77:31] I start teaching you and you went to Apollos and he baptized you and you felt like Apollos gave it up better than I [77:36] did, guess what? Is Yah is is the Messiah divided? Okay, good. I'm a master [77:45] builder. Of course he going to uh after I lay my foundation, of course that man going to build a house on it. Only makes [77:52] sense, right? Keep going. Watch this. [77:59] I have laid the found uh 10. This is uh verse 10. Keep going. I have laid the [78:04] foundation and another buildth thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereon. Mhm. Build it right now. [78:10] For other foundation, for other foundation can no man lay, then that is laid, which is Yahua the Messiah. Now if [78:17] any man build upon his foundation, gold, silver, precious stone, wood, hay, stubble. Every man's work shall be made [78:23] manifest. For the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire, and the fire shall try every man's work [78:30] of what sort it is. If any man work abide which he has built thereon, he shall receive a [78:37] reward. Excuse me. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss, but he himself shall [78:44] be saved, yet so as by fire. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that [78:49] in that the spirit of God dwells in you. If any man defile the temple of God, he shall him shall God destroy. For the [78:57] temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemth to be wise in this [79:03] world, let him become a fool that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, [79:09] he taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, Yahweh knoweth the thoughts of the wise that they are [79:16] vain. Right. Oh, we got go to uh Mark chapter 7. No, we don't need Mark chapter 7. [79:22] Give me Jeremiah 18. Right. Mark chapter 7 going to give [79:29] us the sins. He's going to tell us the stuff that defiles us. But when you when you defiled, that's temple language. So [79:35] he's telling you that that that you know what I'm saying? Your body when he's giving you an image of building [79:41] something. And he's saying you're building a temple, right? So you you're building a spiritual temple, right? But [79:48] if he says take take note of how you're building it, like you might use gold, [79:54] you might use silver, you might use stubble, hay, right? But everything got [80:00] going to have to stand up to fire is what he's saying. So then if you use hay to build your your temple on the [80:06] foundation, guess what's going to happen? You not going to have nothing left. It's going to be burnt. So he's saying whatever you built, you going to [80:13] lose something, right? But build it with enough material that are withstand the fire. So Mark 7 would tell us what what [80:22] defiles us. Those things that defiles it is going to make that's hay. It's not going to withstand the fire, right? But [80:29] then you have better materials that you can use and and better and better and better and better, right? And so that's [80:36] what we need to do. We need to make sure that we turned away from all the sins of Mark 7. That way we're building on the [80:41] foundation that's that's going to be stronger and stronger and that'll withstand the fire a lot better. This is [80:47] uh this is uh Jeremiah chapter 18. Give me verse one. The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying, "Arise, [80:54] and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words." Mhm. Then I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he brought a [81:00] work on the wheels. Mhm. And the vessel that he had made of clay was marred in [81:06] the hand of the potter. So he made it again another vessel, and seemed good to the potter to make it. So the first [81:11] vessel was what? Uh the first vessel that he had made of clay was marred in [81:16] the hand of the potter, right? That thing was messed up. It didn't come out good. Didn't come out something he [81:21] wanted. So then what what did he do after that? So he made again another vessel as seemed good to the potter to make it. He took he took the clay and [81:28] made another one. You know what I'm saying? You're dealing with the clay. You got the little wheel. You spinning the darn wheel. I want to do them things [81:33] too. You know what I'm saying? You going just like this. You know what I'm saying? He making it like that. Then you spinning it and then somebody call you. [81:39] Uh-huh. And then you mess it up. That thing that thing came out Mario looking like, "Man, I can't do nothing with this." And you know what you do? Balling [81:46] back up. You know what I'm talking about? Spin that thing again. He making his life. He make you a nice little V. [81:51] Oh, that's what I Let me let that thing. You said it over there. So that's what [81:57] Yah is doing. We might build with hay. We might build with stuff that don't [82:03] make no sense. The fire come and burn it down. And as long as we still still [82:08] living, get back to building. You got to build it again. This is what this is [82:13] what Jeremiah is trying to tell us. It's like, "Yeah, man. The potter he made it and that thing was mar messed up. He [82:20] made a mistake." Then you know what I'm saying? Let me make another one. Right. And [82:26] that's what we when you make that look that vase that he made. Is it vase or [82:32] vase? I say vase. I say vase too. You know what I'm saying? That vase that he made. It used to be something messed up. [82:40] Do you think anybody walks in this house and looks at that vase and be like that used to be something messed up? They [82:46] don't know. They never saw it. It don't mean nothing to them. So it can't mean anything to you right in your past when [82:54] you look back and you looking like man I messed up and I did this and I did this and this that and another or hey I had a [83:00] lot of good times even though I was messed up God was walking with me even though I [83:06] was none of that stuff can mean anything to you everything behind you got to be forgotten it's like that don't even mean [83:13] that has no value to me what's important to me is right now I'm a new vessel in [83:18] the most high And when you have that mindset, you can't can't nobody pull you back to your [83:23] past. Can't nobody tempt you with none of that stuff. A lot of the stuff we temptable because we holding on to [83:29] nostalgia of stuff that don't mean nothing and we attaching that stuff to [83:34] God. You can't be walking around. Well, I still I tell you what, I might have made some mistakes, but I was saved in [83:42] 1933. God saved my darn life. That I remember the darn day. dirt start shaking. Man, stop. [83:50] Ain't no darn dirt shaking. Your butt had in the darn gestion and then you had to go pee and you was stomping your darn [83:56] foot looking at it when you was on the darn toilet and then you saw that dirt shake and you say, "Oh god." And you [84:01] thought you were saved when that big old turd was coming out of your darn butt and now you looking around talking [84:06] thought you was saved. You didn't get saved that day. You had to poop. Right. But that's how they mind [84:12] where you attach it to this day. You misrep. You told that lie so long. Now you start to believe it. And now you [84:17] walking around talking about, "No, I tell you what. God ain't left me since that day." No, he did a couple times. [84:24] Couple time. He saved your butt a couple times, too. But he left you a couple times. Right? And it's because your butt [84:30] left him first. You've been leaving him and never came back to him. Right? That's the mindset that we have. Our [84:36] mindset got to be, I know I thought I knew God. And I know I thought I repented. And I know I thought I was [84:43] done with that stuff, but man, I lied. I lied to you, God. When I said I [84:50] repented, when I said I would never do this stuff no more and I did it again, I was a liar. And you know what that tells [84:57] me, God? If I lied, I never knew you. All them times I thought I was praying, [85:03] all them times I thought thought you was talking to me, you was God in my life, I never knew you. I never seen you. [85:11] I didn't know nothing. It was worthless. All that stuff. It's only by your grace I'm still living right. You could have [85:17] took me out a long time ago. Right here for it. I'mma get it together. And guess [85:22] what? And in two weeks you find yourself doing the same thing again. Guess what you got to do? I keep lying to you. [85:29] Okay. No, for real. This time I'm done. Don't mock God and keep doing it [85:37] now. He's not gonna be mocked, right? He's not for play. He's not joking with [85:42] you. But understand that when you're marred, you got to remake it. Nobody [85:49] else gonna remake that thing for you. We be sitting there waiting for God just twist a little, what's the little, you [85:54] know, the toys, the old toys. You twist it and the thing start walking like that. That's what we want. We got one God just twist a little thing in my back [86:00] and make me walk after you. No, no, no, no. That's not how it go. God, we be want God to do some work. You know what [86:06] I'm saying? like, "Okay, give us the whole book. We not gonna read it, but [86:12] give us the whole book that we not gonna read. Send your son to die for us. Do all these miracles. He out here tap [86:17] dancing, doing all these miracles, healing all these people. Have it written down in your disciples. Have them do some of the same miracles. Have [86:24] them have them spread this stuff all the way around the world. This word to get to us. We not going to look at it and we [86:30] not going to pay attention. We not going to obey it. And then, okay, now make me obey you." Like, do you want to do [86:40] anything? Most high God did all this stuff. He said, "Okay, it's like it's like a baby. A baby just learned how to [86:46] walk, right? You not about to stand on the whole other side of the room from the baby that just now learned how to [86:52] walk. What you going to do at first?" Cuz the baby nervous, right? You know what I'm saying? The baby like, you know what I'm saying? Don't want to walk. If [86:58] you too far away, they'll just sit down and start crawling to you. So, you got to get super close to that baby, right? [87:03] But you're not gonna close the gap all the way. The baby at least got to take a darn step. So you sit there and you go [87:09] close and you step back just a little bit and then you let the baby go and then the baby start walking and you step back. That's what God [87:15] doing, right? God trying to like I did all this. I did all this stuff for you. I did I put it all together for you. I [87:21] did this. I did this. Did this. But your butt has to do something. Just take a [87:28] step. Like just do it. But we be sitting there playing, right? All right, we be sitting there playing, making excuses, all that. [87:34] No, man. And when you do, and when you figure out you more, like Jeremiah 18 [87:40] said, "All right, start spinning your darn clay wheel again, right? Figure that thing out. But don't make no [87:46] excuses. Don't be playing. Don't be sitting here down on yourselves like, man, I always be messing up." No, no, [87:53] no, no. It's hard. When you become a vase, don't nobody know the state you [87:59] was in when you was clay. They ain't none of nobody darn business you. So why is it your business? Why are you worried [88:05] about what you used to be when you being made something new? Anybody got time for that stuff? [88:10] Whether it's good or bad from your past, forget it. It means nothing. Keep [88:16] moving. Remade. Make yourself into a darn base. Get back where we is at. What [88:22] was that? Uh Corinthians 3:20. 1 Corinthians. [88:29] Give me give me uh give me 1 Corinthians chapter 4. Let get up out of here. Say 1 [88:38] Corinthians chapter 4. Give me verse four. Kind of good. Let me just start at verse one. Let a man so account [88:45] of us as of the ministers of the Messiah and stewards of the mysteries of God. [88:51] Moreover, it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful. But with me it is a very small thing that I [88:57] should be judged of you or of man's judgment. Yay, I judge not my own self. [89:03] Look, y'all don't understand how bad Paul is. The Paul Paul talking to us right now. Look, Paul said, let me tell [89:10] you something. If you a steward, read it again. Watch this. He said, watch what he say about the steward. Moreover, it [89:16] is required in stewards that a man be found faithful. Listen, he said, listen, if you are a steward, if you guiding [89:22] people, it is required that you be found faithful. But watch what he say next. [89:28] But with me, it is very, it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you. Look, he said that's light [89:34] work, right? He's telling you, he's like, listen, I am faithful. You know [89:40] what I'm saying? He like, I'm not hiding it. I'm not being bashful about it. I know that I'm faithful. He said, "That's [89:47] a small thing for everyone to look at me and judge whether I'm faithful or not. [89:52] I'm not worried about it at all. I'm not There's not a bit of me. [89:58] I'm a open book. Come take a look. I know I'm all right. It's a small [90:05] thing. Take Come on. Tell me what you think." Right? Keep going. Watch this. [90:10] Or of man's judgment. Right. Keep going. Yeah. I judge not my own self. He said, "I don't even judge my own darn self." [90:16] What does that mean? Only by the book. It's the same [90:22] thing we just got done talking about. I'm not looking at my past and looking at, "Oh, this what you know what I'm [90:28] saying? I got to be right right now. This is what God required. This is what he said. If I behave this way, I'mma [90:33] make it this way. If I beh everything is by the book. I'm looking at the book. This what the book say about me. This is what I believe about me. Okay. I changed [90:40] that and that's no longer true about me. This what I believe about me now. That's it. I don't even judge my darn self. [90:45] Only God judge me is what he's saying, right? But he using it appropriately, not like the Christian be using it. When Christians say only God can judge me, [90:52] they don't know what they saying. They don't know what they talking about. But they that's when you say that, that's what the book is saying. The book is [90:58] saying only God can jud. In other words, what does the book say about you and that's what you should believe. If the [91:03] book say you going to hell and you behave that way, guess what you should believe about yourself? You going to the fire. Right. Keep going. For I know [91:11] nothing by myself, yet am I not hereby justified. But he that judges me is the [91:16] master. Therefore, judge nothing before its time, until the master come, who [91:22] both will bring the light, bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counselss of the [91:29] hearts. And then shall every man have praise of God. And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred [91:35] to myself and to Apollos for your sakes, that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that [91:42] no one of you be puffed up for one for one against another. Right? So, what [91:48] he's saying here is you shouldn't think of anybody above what's written. Remember, he haven't left his original [91:54] point. He's kind of circling around stuff and touching on different points, but he's still stuck on y'all talking [92:01] about Apollos versus Paul versus Peter versus the Messiah. Is Yahosua divided? [92:06] So that's why he brought up Apollos again. He is like, I transferred this same mindset to Apollos. Right? I don't [92:13] judge my darn self. I transferred that to Apollos. Right? So Apollos is sitting [92:19] there. I mean, he he telling them Apollo is sitting there. He just like me, right? I taught him the same thing I'm [92:25] telling you. So it's not about Apollos versus Paul, right? Keep going. Watch this. For who maketh thee to defer from [92:32] another? And what hast thou that thou did not receive? Now if thou did receive [92:38] it, why does thou glory as if thou hast not received it? Now ye are full. Now [92:44] you are rich. Ye have reigned as kings without us. And I would to God ye did [92:49] reign, that we also might reign with you. For I think that God has set forth [92:54] us the apostles last as it were appointed to death. For we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to the [93:01] angels and to men. We are fools for the Messiah's sake, but ye are wise in the Messiah. We are weak, but you are [93:08] strong. You are honorable, but we are despised. Right? So what he's saying is we taking all the darts, right? We [93:15] taking So in other words, we go out into these cities and we start teaching the word. Everybody hate him, right? [93:21] Everybody hate Paul cuz they looking like, "Man, what is this new teaching that you bringing?" But after he after [93:27] he takes all after he gets stoned and chased out of these cities and all this stuff, everybody respect y'all because [93:34] now y'all get the benefit after it's been normalized. Right? When I came, it [93:39] was the cold water. You know what I'm saying? You jump into that water. Woo! Freezing, right? You get to get in after [93:46] everybody used to the water, right? So he's saying, "Man, for us, we become [93:51] fools for the Messiah." Y'all wise though. By the time they see y'all, they look like, "Yeah, man. That's some good [93:57] teaching, right?" So he tell he trying to he trying to put it in perspective. It's like, "Y'all ought to respect what [94:03] we doing a little bit more." Right? Keep going. Watch this. Even unto this present hour, we both hunger and thirst [94:08] and are naked and are buffeted and have no certain dwelling place. In labor, working with our own hands, being [94:14] reviled, we bless. Being persecuted, we suffer it. Being defamed, we entreat. We [94:20] are made as the filth of the world and are the offscoring of all things unto this day. I write not these things to [94:26] shame you. But as my beloved sons, I warn you. For though you have 10,000 instructors in the Messiah, yet ye have [94:33] not many fathers. For the Messiah, Yahosua, I have begotten you through the [94:38] gospel. Wherefore I beseech you, be followers of me. For this cause have I sent unto you to Mtheus, who is my [94:45] beloved son and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways, which be in the Messiah, as I [94:52] teach everywhere in every congregation. Now, some are puffed up as though I would not come to you. But I will come [94:57] to you shortly, if the master will, and will know, and will know not the speech [95:02] of them which are puff puffed up, but the power. For the kingdom of God is no, [95:07] you got you got you got see what he just said. But I will come to you shortly if the master will and will know. Go one [95:15] more verse before that. Okay. Now, some are puffed up as though. He said, "Some of y'all puffed up. Some of y'all think y'all tough as though I would not come [95:22] to you." Some of y'all think y'all tough cuz y'all think y'all won't see me. Right. Cuz they talking. They looking [95:27] like, "No, I'm of Apollo. I'm a Paul." What is? Then he told him, "Do you think [95:32] you you think Look, a Steuart got to be faithful. It's a You think you think I'm worried about y'all judging me? You [95:40] think I'm worried about y'all feeling like I'm not good enough to teach. So we going we going to go after Apollo. Well, [95:46] I taught Apollo is what he said. I imparted these things to Apollo. What [95:52] are you talking about? Then he come back later and tell him exactly. Y'all need to follow after me and I'm going to send you Timothy. And when I sent I just want [95:59] y'all to see how the man of God talk. The man of God is not he's not like shy and baffled. Oh, well, brother, I uh I [96:06] uh well, any of us, you know, all of all of us teach the same. And then he's like, God ain't like y'all if y'all sit [96:14] picking signs like that, you're you missed it already. But I'm your father is what [96:19] he's saying in the sense of teaching the word, right? He's like, I'm the one who gave birth to y'all in this word. What [96:25] are y'all talking about? I taught Apollo. What is y'all talking about? I'm [96:30] not. You can't stand up and judge me and see if I'm concerned. There ain't nothing you got on me. I'm the one out [96:37] here taking the stones for these people. They beat me up and y'all got the nerve. Y'all talking to me. Okay, I see some of [96:44] y'all puffed up. I see some of y'all think y'all tough and y'all think I'm not going to come there. But if y'all [96:50] let me come there, we Watch what he say. Watch what he say. But I will come to you shortly if Yahweh will and will know [96:57] not and will know not the speech of them which are puffed up. I bet you nobody talk like that when I get there. [97:04] I bet you when I get there nobody's talking like this. All this all this [97:09] stuff y'all send to me in these letters. I bet you when I get there we straighten it out. All y'all puffed up talking this [97:16] mess cuz a couple people came through. I'mma send Timothy. I He better straighten. I'm telling y'all what he's [97:21] saying. Timothy, y'all better let Timothy straighten y'all up before I get [97:26] there. Paul not playing with these boys. This is like when y'all see Paul, [97:33] this is passion. He's not playing like he he don't he don't look at this like it's a game. He don't look at this like [97:40] this is like a day job. He's telling you I'm really taking lumpins for this. I [97:46] believe in this. Y'all can't stand up and judge me. Like, I'm not Listen, man. I Y'all can't do [97:54] nothing with me. What's wrong with you? I'm just trying to teach y'all the truth. And I care enough to correct you. [98:00] I care enough to be like, "No, you're crazy." And you need to hear this, right? Keep going. Watch this. For the [98:07] kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. What will ye shall I come unto you with a rod or in love? And in the [98:14] spirit of meekness? Mhm. You better let Timothy straighten it out. I'mma send you Timothy now. You know what I'm [98:20] saying? How you want How you want me to come back? All right. You better let Timothy straighten it out.

We'll try to finish out Corinthians next week. But you see that [98:40] that in the beginning of Corinthians his whole point or his whole his whole idea is I want us to be unified. I want us to [98:49] be that's how he started right. I want us to be unified. I want us to have the same mind and the same exact judgment. [98:55] That's what this is about. Right? Don't be sitting here claiming no denominations and saying I'm I'm doing [99:03] it this way. I'm following this person. No. I'm the one who taught you this gospel. I am the apostle of the most [99:10] high God. Listen to what I'm telling you. It's not about none of that. Focus on what the word say and don't hold [99:17] nobody up past what the words say. I don't care if it's me. I don't care if it's Apollo. I don't even judge [99:25] myself, right? I only look at what the words say. I am what the words say. [99:31] However my behavior look, that's what the words say. All the rest of that stuff is nothing, right? because he [99:37] knows how easily we can be deceived. So, he's trying to lay it to him very plainly and very direct. Just follow [99:44] after the word. We don't have I don't have time to try to be polite. I don't have time to try to, you know, not hurt [99:50] your feelings, this, that, and another. No, man. Y'all over there puffed up talking crazy. That's all right, though.
