00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:08.679
Hey, Hey, I'm bad with
something for you. Yes, you to

2
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:18.519
think about. In order to be
reborn, you must first die. What

3
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:25.480
you heard me, In order to
be reborn, you must first die.

4
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:33.759
Now, let me say this from
the start. Depending on who you serve,

5
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:43.719
you're still considered to be reborn into
that. Those who serve the devil,

6
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:51.079
and I'm just gonna talk about this
very quickly, are reborn into Satanic

7
00:00:52.320 --> 00:01:00.600
culture, Satanic Satanic worship where they
make the devil their god. The devil

8
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.280
is not God, but people make
him their god because you can make anything

9
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:11.359
your god, idols, objects,
people, But there's only one God.

10
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:17.439
And that's all I'm saying about that. But it's a process that they go

11
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:26.280
through when worshiping Christ. The Bible
tells us the only way to the Father

12
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.560
is through the Son. So you
first must be born again. Roma is

13
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.040
ten and nine. You're being saved, you say, and you believe that

14
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.519
Jesus is the Son of God and
he died on the cross for your sins.

15
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:48.239
That's the first step into worshiping,
honoring, and serving the Lord.

16
00:01:51.319 --> 00:02:01.040
To be reborn, you must first
die. You must first die. And

17
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.519
what do I mean by that?
I mean you must die to yourself,

18
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:13.520
to all your lustful ways, your
greed, your flesh. You must die

19
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:22.520
to the world, meaning you no
longer are seeking after or longing for the

20
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.120
things of the world, the ways
of the world. So you must die

21
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:30.080
to yourself, and you must die
to yourself. Is your flesh, and

22
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:39.639
you must die to this world.
It's an absolute must. It's a must.

23
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:47.120
I'm not talking about reincarnations or none
of that, because personally, I

24
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:53.080
don't believe in that. When Jesus
rose the third Day, he rose for

25
00:02:53.280 --> 00:03:00.960
a purpose for us, for the
world. He rose for a purpose.

26
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:10.800
He didn't he wasn't raised as being
reincarnated. He rose as himself for a

27
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:17.479
purpose for us. It was a
process that had to be fulfilled. So

28
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.319
when people say, well, Jesus, you're not Jesus, you can't even

29
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.639
put yourself in that category. You
can't put none of us in that category.

30
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.879
He did that for a purpose,
just like he was born up in

31
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:38.719
an inimmaculate conception, so there's no
comparison. So that was for a reason.

32
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:44.120
The Bible said, when we die, we are disconnected from our bodies.

33
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.759
We do not come back. The
dead does not know what the living

34
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:55.000
is doing, and obviously vice versa. So a lot of people think that

35
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.960
obviously their loved ones are still hanging
around somewhere. I just wish people would

36
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:08.240
think about it. What sense would
it make for them to die? And

37
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:13.960
a lot of people have died unhappy
and then you come back to that same

38
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:20.839
unhappy realm on earth. Makes no
sense to me anyways. We're not gonna

39
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.879
get caught up in that. So
to be reborn, you must first die

40
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:34.480
to yourself into this world. Okay, stop thinking about Jesus being reborn,

41
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.360
because he did it for us.
He did he had to come back for

42
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:46.279
a reason, and then he ascended
up to the Father for us. But

43
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:53.560
when you die to yourself, that
means you've given up those things of the

44
00:04:53.600 --> 00:05:04.839
world. The things you've chased and
sought after, are no longer important to

45
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:11.439
you. You're not caught up in
the things that you used to be caught

46
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:16.839
up in. You're not idolizing possessions
and things like that anymore. Your heart

47
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:24.560
and your mind is focused on Christ, because Heaven is your gold. That's

48
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:30.319
what it means to die of yourself, to die of this world. It

49
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:36.079
is an absolute musk. And the
problem is most people don't They get saved,

50
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:44.120
but they don't die. They don't
die of themselves or this world.

51
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:50.519
They still want to dibble and dabble
into things that are not of God.

52
00:05:54.800 --> 00:06:02.720
And that's the way most people in
the world are want to straddle the imaginary

53
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:09.120
fence because in reality, there's no
fence to straddle. Either you're for him

54
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:15.480
or you're against him, period.
So Jesus is our gateway to the Father.

55
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:23.600
Some people believe Jesus is God.
I don't. It's too much evidence

56
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:28.519
in the Bible that says Jesus is
Jesus the Son, and God is his

57
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:33.600
father. He spoke through them to
him all through the Bible and the Bible,

58
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:38.959
and in the Bible, God spoke
to his son also in the presence

59
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:44.639
of others. So they're not one
and the same. They're on the same

60
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.240
accord as one, but they're not
one and the same. That's what I

61
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.600
believe, and nobody will change my
mind about it. So don't even waste

62
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:57.279
your time trying. But in order
to serve him, you must die to

63
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.519
yourself and of this world. Because
a lot of people are claiming that they

64
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:04.800
love Jesus, but their hearts and
mind haven't changed. They're claiming they love

65
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:11.680
Jesus. But they're still full of
anger and hurt and sickness and confusion and

66
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:17.000
mental anguish. But they say they
love Jesus, full of anxiety, fears,

67
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:23.480
and phobia. But you love Jesus. You gotta cast your cares because

68
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:28.480
you're still holding on to things of
the world. You must cast your cares

69
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.680
because he said, for I care
for you. You gotta cast your cares.

70
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:39.000
You have to lave met his feet, and you can't go back to

71
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:43.800
pick him up. I don't care
how people look at you. I don't

72
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:47.319
care what they say about you.
You have to cast your cares and leave

73
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.319
them there. If you're gonna love, medice, feed them, then when

74
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:54.279
you leave, you turn around and
take them with you. What's the point

75
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.600
of casting them there? You have
no faith in God, You have no

76
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:03.600
faith in His son. Some of
you you keep trying to work out your

77
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:09.000
own problems, but you keep finding
yourself going deeper and deeper into darkness because

78
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.839
you're trying to fix something that you're
supposed to leave at his feet and leave

79
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:22.399
there. You have to let go. If you love God, trust him,

80
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:28.959
trust his son to do what they
say they will do, to be

81
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:35.399
who they say that they are.
Stop trying to fix your situation because obviously

82
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:43.240
you can't give it to Jesus.
And let me tell you something. And

83
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:54.519
I'm a living witness. I am
a living witness. Sometimes God don't fix

84
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.320
it the way you want him to
fix it. He fix it the way

85
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:03.159
he knows it needs to be fixed. But old baby, the things you

86
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:11.039
have to go through sometimes because God
fix it a certain way, The things

87
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:16.320
you have to go through, the
burdens you have to bear. M I'm

88
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:24.440
telling you, but you can handle
it. When you trust Jesus, you

89
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:30.600
can handle anything. I don't care
how terrible, how horrific, how sad,

90
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:35.360
how bad. You can handle it
when you've laid it at his feet,

91
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:41.080
when you cast your carros on him. I'm telling you you can handle

92
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:50.519
anything. People won't understand. But
you know who got it. You know

93
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.639
it didn't turn the way you wanted
it to turn, But it turned the

94
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:03.639
best way. Even though it may
look horrible to you. He still knows

95
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:09.720
best. He always knows best.
So don't get discouraged when you cast your

96
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:15.840
cares upon him. Believe that you
can fix the situation. Believe he will

97
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.720
handle the situation. And like I
said, it may not be the way

98
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:24.240
you want it, but it's the
right way, even if it looks bad.

99
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:30.480
That's the trust, and that's the
love that you have to have for

100
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:37.240
him. That's the faith you have
to have in him. Because faith is

101
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:43.519
the substance of things hoped for,
evidence of things not seen. So you

102
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:52.039
have to believe it's all right,
even if it don't feel that way.

103
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.639
You have to name it and claim
it. You have to believe it is

104
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:07.080
already done. You have to get
your eyes off of the world that include

105
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:13.320
people and things and get your eyes
on the prize. And that's Jesus,

106
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:20.399
the Son God, the Father in
heaven. Because when you die and you

107
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.320
leave this natural body, whatever you
chose, why you're here, is where

108
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:30.159
you're going. You're going according to
how you chose to live your life and

109
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:39.519
who you served. That's a guarantee
until judgment. I don't know about you,

110
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:41.960
but I want to be in a
good, happy, peaceful place.

111
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:54.879
So it's up to you. But
know that you have to be reborn.

112
00:11:54.440 --> 00:12:03.679
You cannot walk this water doing the
same things you used to do. You

113
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:11.960
carenot, and that is what we're
seeing so much in the churches of today.

114
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.639
Church houses are full with people of
the world, to include the leaders,

115
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:28.600
to include the leaders. That's why
you're seeing so much of worldly things

116
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:35.080
in the church, because now they've
made them churches of man and not churches

117
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:45.960
of God. Clearly, many leaders
have not died to themselves and to this

118
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:52.320
world, clearly, because there's no
way they would allow the things that they're

119
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.799
allowing in the churches. No way
they would be doing some of the things

120
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.320
they're doing, no way they would
be saying some of the things they're saying.

121
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:07.159
Some pastors curse more than people of
the world. And I know not

122
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:15.080
everybody in the world cursed, because
I never was a curser, but some

123
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.799
can rattle it off you hear me, and some so called pastors, and

124
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.759
I will say so called because that's
exactly what they are. They curse worse

125
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:28.919
than people of the world. That's
because they are people of the world.

126
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:35.679
A lot of people say, I
don't go to church because look what they're

127
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:39.879
doing in the churches. Church folks. There's church folks that and I did

128
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:45.480
a whole episode on him before,
just because people go to church that don't

129
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:56.919
make them children of God, Okay, being God's children and children of God

130
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:03.639
is a different, totally too differ. We're all God's children, but we're

131
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:13.399
not all children of God because we
haven't all chosen Him as our lord and

132
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:20.519
savior. Gotta choose his son first, that is first. You must choose

133
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:26.519
his son first, because through the
son you can get to the Father God.

134
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.519
So you gotta let go things of
this world. And I mean,

135
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.639
the reason people struggle so hard is
because they're trying to steal hold on You

136
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:45.440
can't. You gotta let it go. You have to let it go,

137
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:50.799
and don't think about it. Don't
keep trying to look back like Lot's wife

138
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:58.840
did, because all you're doing is
keeping yourself in the world. And you

139
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.039
know when your time is up.
You don't want to be on that side

140
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:09.879
when your time is up, cause
sure less you live, you're gonna die.

141
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:16.000
No one knows the day or an
hour. So let me tell you

142
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:22.600
the time is now. Right now, it's all we have. None of

143
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.159
us are guaranteed the next second,
the next hour, the next day,

144
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.000
the next week, the next month, the next year. None of us

145
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:39.840
right now is all we have.
Tomorrow is gone and we do we do.

146
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:46.320
Yesterday is gone. I'm sorry,
Yesterday is gone and all we have

147
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:54.080
is hope for tomorrow, but that
don't mean it's ever coming. Today is

148
00:15:54.159 --> 00:16:03.679
all we have. It's time to
stop playing because God is not playing with

149
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:08.600
any of us. And you don't
want God to take his hands off of

150
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:15.120
you. You don't want it.
You don't want them to turn you over

151
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:21.840
to that reprobate mind. That's the
worst thing. That's the worst thing.

152
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:30.279
Our world is in, the condition
that is in because of people of the

153
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:38.279
world, because of LUs because of
greed, and people unwillingness to change to

154
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:47.039
become better. This world is a
dark, cold place. And I'm telling

155
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:51.840
you, in the drop of a
dime, you know what a penny,

156
00:16:52.480 --> 00:17:00.679
I would leave and go to the
mountains, go somewhere that's secluded. In

157
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:07.400
a heartbeat. Now by myself,
I'm a little you know for that.

158
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.079
I don't know know enough for that. But if I had someone to go

159
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:18.240
with me. In a dime,
I mean quickness drop, I keep saying

160
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.720
to drop of a dime, but
a penny, that's how quick I'll go

161
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:32.480
because I can. It's just people
are unpredictable. You go out your mind

162
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:38.799
and your business people are not making
it home because of foolishness, Because people

163
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:45.279
are so full of hurt and pain
and unhealed hearts and minds. You end

164
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:52.160
up losing your life over their foolishness, and it makes you not even want

165
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:57.599
to be around people. I love
people, but I don't have time for

166
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:07.519
their foolishness. My tolerance is zero. I don't have no problem being by

167
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:15.039
myself, being alone. There are
many things I wish I knew. How

168
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:19.799
to live off of the land,
how to pick things that won't harm me,

169
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:23.240
how to build. Oh my gosh, I wish I knew that stuff.

170
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:36.680
I wouldn't be sitting here. I'll
tell you that because these things they

171
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:41.440
mean nothing to me. They really
don't. I was having a conversation with

172
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:49.559
someone and we were talking about jewelry, and she said that she was gonna

173
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:56.319
give a friend a piece of jewelry
that she has had, you know,

174
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:00.519
a long time years. But when
she got the praise and found out how

175
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:02.960
much it costs, she said,
no, I'm not giving it to that

176
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:04.559
person. So I said, why
not. If you was gonna give it

177
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:11.599
to that person, it shouldn't matter
how much it costs, you should give

178
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:15.599
it to the person. We can't
take any of this with us, And

179
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.880
so she finally said, well,
my executor can give it to her.

180
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:22.960
Well, what if your executor,
the person that you got all the faith

181
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:30.519
in the world in, die before
you see, we have to be careful

182
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:37.319
of who we invest our faith in. We shouldn't invest our faith in no

183
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.880
one but Jesus the Son and God
the Father. And I mean, I'm

184
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:48.920
guilty too. I remember a time
when I wrote out my funeral many years

185
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.000
ago and the person I said I
wanted to preach my funeral been dead long

186
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.079
ago. But I mean, of
course wasn't dead at the time, but

187
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:04.160
I don't know what I was saying. So the people you think is going

188
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:11.039
to outlive you, you may end
up outliving them. So things that you

189
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:18.319
should have done, because things are
just things that don't matter. You can't

190
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:23.720
take it with you. So if
you don't enjoy it now, I don't

191
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:26.960
care how much you pay for it. If you're not enjoying it right now,

192
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:33.119
then let somebody else enjoy it.
Somebody that you know will take care

193
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:38.119
of it. But I just think
that's when people are invested in things,

194
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:44.799
you know, holding on to things
and things like that, and God can

195
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:51.960
fix that situation to be what you
totally opposite of what you had planned.

196
00:20:55.720 --> 00:21:00.880
You know, and that's just fact. So stop putting all your faith in

197
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:04.720
people and thinking you got it all
playing down, because God would throw a

198
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:12.640
monkey wrench in that plan. I'm
telling you quick, we should only worship

199
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:19.839
the Father and the Son, not
things, not people, because they don't

200
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:29.279
matter at the end. This journey
is solo. When you die, it's

201
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:32.920
solo. I don't care if you
die with somebody else in a wreck or

202
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:38.720
something. When you die, you
going whatever, and that person going whatever.

203
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:44.039
Your spirits are going to according to
how you live. I don't care

204
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:48.720
if you the part of this world. At the same time, your spirits

205
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:55.240
are going according to how you live
life. I don't care. If you're

206
00:21:55.240 --> 00:22:00.039
a husband and wife, you've been
together seventy years, you died and and

207
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:08.599
then he died right next to you. Your spirits are going according to where,

208
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:18.000
going where, according to what you
chose while you were alive. That's

209
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:25.640
why the Bible says there are no
marriages in heaven, because it's a whole

210
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:34.160
lot of merrit People went separate ways
or going separate ways, and the Bible

211
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:38.759
tells us there are no marriages in
heaven. You can believe what you want

212
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:42.680
to believe, if that make you
feel better. But I'm going by the

213
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:47.440
word of God. Don't get mad
at me. Read the Bible. It's

214
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:56.480
right in there. I don't worship
people, I don't worship things. And

215
00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:02.240
I've told you before, no,
don't matter what I go through, no

216
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:07.559
matter I don't care what happens.
I don't care how drastic, I don't

217
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:14.400
care how horrible. All I ask
God is Jesus the Son, and God

218
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:22.200
the Father. Give me strength to
endure, Give me that peace that continue,

219
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.680
peace that surpasses all understanding. Because
I know things are gonna happen.

220
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:34.279
Horrible things are gonna happen. Horrible
things have happened beyond my belief, beyond

221
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:41.920
things that I ever would have imagined
has happened. But I still got peace

222
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:53.079
because I don't give my power to
things or to people. And I just

223
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:59.680
ask the Lord to continue to strengthen
me, the Holy Spirit to continue to

224
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:03.319
be God. My eyes is on
Heaven. My eyes is on the Father

225
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.960
and the Son, not people of
the world, not the ways of the

226
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:15.319
world. I don't care. And
when I say I don't care, what

227
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:22.519
I'm saying is I don't care about
all of the distractions that's around. What's

228
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.319
gonna happen is gonna happen. I
have no control over it. Only control

229
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:30.480
I have is how I respond to
it. And as long as my eyes

230
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:37.880
is on the prize, Jesus and
the and the Father God, I can

231
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:47.000
with I can withstand. If it
takes me out physically, You've done me

232
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:55.880
a favor because I know where I'm
going. I know where I'm going because

233
00:24:55.920 --> 00:25:02.799
I live my life in such a
way. It's not for play, it's

234
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:11.680
for real. I'm one of the
few I know I am. And that's

235
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:21.119
the mindset you have to adopt.
This thing is a twenty four seven things

236
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:26.279
twenty four to seven. You gotta
always be in prayer. You have to

237
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:33.359
always be thinking about Jesus. You
have to always think about what you're doing

238
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:40.839
and how you're thinking, what you're
feeling, is it pleasing to God?

239
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:48.359
And that may sound crazy to you, but that's how you have to live

240
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:56.720
your life. You have to walk
it as well as talking, because there's

241
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.240
a lot of people. They can
talk it. Ooh baby, they can

242
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:07.799
talk it, but the walk don't
align and it's all in vain. You

243
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:18.079
have more way, more of the
walking dead. Then you have those who

244
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:23.680
are truly serving God, way more
of the walking dead. But it don't

245
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:30.599
matter because God still got it.
He got it, He's still in charge.

246
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:37.519
And like that, like I said
earlier, the devil don't have a

247
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:42.880
kingdom. The devil is not a
god, but people have made him their

248
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:53.200
god and they think the tangible things
of the world are more important. You

249
00:26:53.240 --> 00:27:00.880
know, it's like a relationship with
your significant other. You been with this

250
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:07.079
person for so long and you don't
have no connection, no communication, no

251
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.640
affection. But you're with this person
for so long because of the kids.

252
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:19.359
The kids get grown and gone and
you're still there. But nothing is benefiting

253
00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:25.000
you. It's aging you, it's
making you sick, but you're still there.

254
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:32.359
You're still holding on to it.
That's the way people are with the

255
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:41.359
world. The world make them sick
mentally and physically break them financially, but

256
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:48.440
they still want the world because it's
tangible things, only to lose their soul

257
00:27:48.799 --> 00:28:00.720
no peace within. Still the same
way mentally, haven't grown any Most adults

258
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:08.000
are not even mature. They think
they are, but they're not. You

259
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:11.920
could tell by the choices and decisions
they make. The things they do.

260
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:26.880
So when you make a decision to
choose Jesus. Sometimes it's a lonely journey,

261
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.680
but hey, it's all right.
It's supposed to be because it's a

262
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:33.839
solo journey. Some of you worried
about what someone's saying or what they're gonna

263
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:41.519
do. You can't. This is
your life. You have to know that

264
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:51.400
what you choose determines your eternal home. You can't do the same things.

265
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:57.759
You cannot do the same things.
You cannot entertain the same people the same

266
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:07.759
way, you cannot talk the same
Even your dress needs to change, and

267
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:15.039
it will because your heart will be
convicted. There's a lot of people that

268
00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:22.079
I know, personally professional and non
professional in the gospel industry that says they

269
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:26.839
you know, they're living for the
Lord, and it's a lie. You

270
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:29.920
can see it all over them.
You can see it in the things they

271
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:37.880
do, the clothes they wear,
how they act. But they just happen

272
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:45.880
to preach well and sing well and
speak well. And because of that,

273
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:57.319
people are so quickly they're so quickly
believing that they're anointing when they have no

274
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:03.920
anointing at all. They just know
how to perform well. Some have powerful

275
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:08.519
voices, but it's not the anointing. So you get caught up in your

276
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:18.920
emotions thinking it's anointing, and you
follow these people who have no anointing because

277
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:23.799
you've following the man. You have
your eyes on the creature and not the

278
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:33.279
creator. You have to give it
up. Love Jesus like that. Love

279
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:40.400
Jesus the way you're trying to love
your significant other, only more. Jesus

280
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:44.799
got to be first. God has
to be the center of our life,

281
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:56.880
the first, the center, the
ending. So serving God, you gotta

282
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:03.200
let it all go. To be
reborn, you gotta die of yourself,

283
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:10.559
and you gotta die of this world. And that's a must to be that

284
00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:18.400
new creature. Everything must change,
and it's not difficult. It has never

285
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:23.279
ever ever been difficult for me.
Have I gotten discouraged? You bet I

286
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:34.559
have. Yes, I have gotten
discouraged because I'm still human. But I

287
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:45.559
never entertain it. I said,
Lord, I know I have good days.

288
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:52.359
You know you're gonna have good days, You're gonna have bad days.

289
00:31:55.039 --> 00:32:00.440
But serving God, the good is
going on our way to bad because you're

290
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:07.559
not trying to fix it. You
gave it to him to fix You gave

291
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:12.839
it to him to carry that burden, no matter what it is. No

292
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:19.960
matter what that burden is, financial, sickness, whatever it is, when

293
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:23.839
you turn it over to Him,
it relieves you of it. You shouldn't

294
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:29.200
be stressed, out, depressed,
suicidal, homeless. Are none of that,

295
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:34.519
not in you. Serving God,
the true in living God, not

296
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:38.759
that person you made your God,
not the devil, but the true in

297
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:49.559
living God, with the Son Jesus. You have to mean it from your

298
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:59.799
heart. You have to do it
with honesty and truth. Your mind has

299
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:07.759
to be made up. You can't
let people persuade you to go back into

300
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:12.000
the world. You came out of
it. You know what's there, you

301
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:17.839
know what it's like, you know
what it has to offer. Serving God.

302
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.880
You can still do all of those
things. You can still achieve all

303
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:29.759
of the accomplishments. But the difference
is you're not doing any and everything for

304
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:39.519
it because it's just not that important
to you. So that's all I'm saying.

305
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:44.599
I'm leaving it right there. Thank
you so much for listening. Much

306
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:50.440
love to you. Please check out
Relationship Chronicles. This is relatable. Like

307
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:57.279
Chronicles end every episode to save it, I hope and Lord knows, I

308
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:00.000
pray you do it than on it
