[Music] anybody ready for the worst thing to your feet as we bring god's man up fight and power [Music] minister my my fellow comrade in the gospel my penis come on praise the lord and hallelujah i was hoping for that second song pastor you know i was hoping for that second song in the anointing fall and y'all y'all lose your mind during the song all right brother bryson start rolling in the front eye since americans start hitting them keys sister kitchen but it didn't happen praise god praise the lord hallelujah we definitely expect the god to do it we assuredly definitely expect god to do it look at your neighbor today and say neighbor shake it but don't break it shake it but don't break it [Music] brother bryson we just went back when you will put cardboard on the floor duct tape it together and spin on your head [Music] we were shaking and breaking praise the lord we love you saints of god we honor you pastor nixon first lady nixon the nixon family and on down the ministers on the roster assistant pastor betty thompson the musician the praise singers the ushers the youth department the saints of god [Music] hallelujah [Music] hallelujah [Music] hallelujah gloria [Music] puede oh holly praise the lord hallelujah [Music] we thank god uh for for the power and the works uh of the holy ghost in operation in the house in morning my open apology to my mother day due to lack of or miscommunication she wanted to come but you know it just didn't happen i'm sorry so mama i got you but uh really quick if you would go to your bible and we will be in the book of matthew 16 24. we'll read the verse of scripture we'll pray and we'll move on but isn't he good [Music] isn't that the more you know him the more you love him the more you love what he do how he does it when he does it and in the power that he does it praise god hallelujah so when you get to the new testament the second half of your bible whether you're reading from the king james or new king james text from the gospel and the bread of life we read from the red letter edition matthew 16 24. i'm trying to be proper right now because you know when i get excited i have a tendency of asking the plum fool saying whatever it is i need to say because he tell me to say it 16 24 and he reads it like this if any man will come after me let him what deny himself what and take up his cross and follow me gonna read one more scripture and this is my title coming from this first corinthians 11 1. and it reads in the first book of corinthians 11 chapter 11 verse 1 be ye followers of me even as i also am of christ more than likely in the hood texts or in the in the broken down version up here in austin texas will say follow me as i follow christ i think pastor pastor has an extended version of that and when i stop following christ stop following me heavenly father in the name of jesus we gather hear god in your name god we come together god embody god lord god oh god in the fold god today he got asking lord god that your will to be done god that you would lead us you would guide us lord god and we come down from ourselves lord god and lift you up god almighty god we know that it's not our will but your wills to be done god we once saved god by my words but your words lord god that you will continue to doing the awesome continue flowing in that power and that might god that you have been god continue to give us assurance god and reassurance god confirm and reconfirm lord god whatever you want god today god we ask you in the mighty name of jesus christ and the church says in jesus name and i didn't hear that and the church says in jesus name [Music] in jesus name glory hallelujah have you a seat if your love of the lord open your mind to god today and his word if you in love with the lord if you come near to be uh or have or something and gain something in god today simply say god have your way god let your word fall on good ground god tilt that soil god water that seed god and let my fruit of labor and love god be tasteful hallelujah matthew simply said if any man will come after who me jesus let him first deny himself i think i got this from brother bryson the first there must first be a denial there must first be denying yourself your way your will it's not always going to be convenient living living for god and showing up day and day in and day out so it's not always gonna be perfect timing you're not always gonna want to do what he called you to do you're not gonna want to get up in prayer at two three four o'clock in the morning you see the carnal part will say oh don't you know that those are ungodly hours right extending your your your your financial institution with your brother and sister uh you were more like well don't they have their own monies your will and his will don't always collide or become the same thing you must deny yourself sometimes you must see past of what you see and what i see and the sea with the eyes of christ it doesn't look always the same it doesn't line up the same sometimes because what flesh is flesh and what spirit is spirit and we always should be in a spiritual mind paul says it like this that that i die daily right for the things that i should do i don't the things that i don't i should right there's a struggle inside of us when it comes to doing the will of god jesus simply said that i must be about my father's business and he continues to say and take up his cross the the cross of calvary uh fell to a place called uh galgotha if i'm pronouncing that right the place of the skull the first crucified uh uh a place so that gave you an eye victory the the place in the mind uh and the and the place in the in the thought process we must first crucify what we think what we know how we feel in order to get this will of god across so we have this place in our mind where where it's a struggle and it's a battle i was having a holy fit yesterday in the evening time and uh i text the minister amen pray for me i need anger management but i need prayer more than i need anger management right i'm i'm saved but but but be angry and sin not angry and sin not i was having a holy fit things weren't working out the way that they should they weren't lining up one plus one it just i thought that this was supposed to come all together i thought this was a blessing in disguise right i'm starting to look at uh whatever it is that i'm doing and i understand that i simply need patience all right all right it's the waiting uh that gets me i'm too much in a hurry mother bailey i'm in a rush i got to get it done and you get to this sloth at the counter can i help you it's not lining up we're not kindred spirit i got a work for the lord to do and you are slowing me down how are you doing so is it a problem with them probably not it's more a problem with me because i am impatient because my tolerance is low but but but i'm still saved mother belly at least i still want to say that i'm so saved in that moment i'm on a thin line between be angry and sinning not there's always a lot to learn when it comes to being a disciple for jesus christ if any man will come after me right if you decide and it's a mindful decision to come after jesus and live for god become disciples of god there there are some requirements uh and and first of all you must deny yourself right i think t.d jakes uh uh created a book it was called emotions and a lot of times uh me and my testosterones are normally in my emotions if it's not my way if it isn't the way i want it that it was supposed to look this way what i thought that out my serving was supposed to be i'm having a holy fit i'm just being as real as i can right remember because we come from the land of uh shaking and breaking where the real is real right i don't know how it looked in your hood but but real always recognize real the bible simply states that spirit bears witness to spirit and take up his cross make up your mind if you decide to carry this uh gospel make up your mind if you're gonna decide to i'm gonna pray for five days we'll pray for the five days i'm gonna show up for service all month will show up to the service for all month quit saying it just do it [Applause] i'm gonna give more than i've ever get before i'm struggling in that area but i'm giving more than i've given before [Applause] and then when all this takes place and follow me get yourself together gather your your marbles or your bearings right get your mind right make sure your yes is yes and your no is no that's the struggle from the get-go it's the struggle inside of your mind your mind is saying yes but your body is doing no your body is saying no but your mind is doing yes so you don't know whether you're coming or you're going but if you're following him your yes must be yes and your no must be yo because anything in the middle is not of god and then you might be able to follow me matthew 7 13 i'm gonna be mindful of the time-ish i know y'all got to go to school some got to go to work but you got to get this bible in before you go to school and before you put him first so the book of matthew 7 13 as i'm keeping composure here from the gospels of the new testament words of christ's read letter king james version reads it just like this matthew 7 13 enter by the narrow or the straight gate or door for wide is that gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction many are going that way a lot are doing that you got a million followers but following you where going where in what direction by what instruction shaking this and that and going to destruction saying this and that and leading you not up but down for wide is that gate and broad is that way that leads to destruction and there and there where they're at that place and they're at that moment they're at that time in that season at that place are many who go by it right there so there is a place there is a place of destruction there is a mind frame of destruction i would tell i was teaching sunday school in the morning praise god to the little ones oh i'm sorry to the bigger little ones right to the youth praise god oh my god i love you guys i do very much i told them thank you for putting up with me for about 40 45 minutes i'll give you some snacks and i'll move on just don't bite me or throw a stone when i turn we have awesome youth and [Applause] and and begins to say that that uh and broad is uh the way that leads to destruction and there are many who go by it there is a condition there is a frame of mind and when i was teaching the youth this morning though you know we meet people or where we we go to church with people and a lot of time they're in mother bailey and when they're in they're in you know they're praising god and and they're in worship together and we're dancing together and and i say amen they say amen and when i'm yelling hallelujah they're getting glory you know and uh you know we're yelling jesus and another is yelling jesus but then i realized when they're out they're out right it's a mind frame it's a hot and cold mentality when you're in you're showing up for every prayer you can get you're backing up pastor with everything that you got yeah right you're calling your brother up and giving them encouragement you're going through your daily devotional and some you read the whole book of romans this week oh my god we are going somewhere you fasted for your whole one day oh my god it's the most i've ever done and the lord must be doing something in me you know you went from one from just skipping breakfast to now you're doing breakfast and lunch but you're moving forward you're drawing night it's a it's a blessed effort it's a blessed effort because there's increase there you're drawing an eye to god you're you're getting closer you're getting nearer and you're starting to see things different you're starting to feel things differently you're starting to feel the power of god the anointing of god this word of god begins to to come out the page and say i get it i understand it that's what they mean i get submission now i get obedience now you mean you mean there's more to church than just showing up you see but when you're out they should be just glad i showed up they should be glad that i just showed up you should be glad that the lord don't strike you well yet when you're in you're in and when you're out you're out there's always two kind of people there's believers and there's non-believers you're either hot or or you're cold oh no no no then there's that place in the idleness middle it's called lukewarm where he well you're neither yes or no he says at that place he says i'll spew you or spit you out of my mouth it's unacceptable to god it's not tolerated by the spirit it's not what jesus lived and died for and there are many who go by it 14 because nero is that gate or that door and it's difficult is the way which leads to life you're going to have to work for this you're gonna have to take your shoes off sometimes you're gonna have to pull your hair out tighten up that belt leave that vest at home and get to work because i think we learned the most in the nitty-gritty we learned the most of revelation uh when we're caught up knee in it right when trouble i text a man in the morning i said when you're a soldier for god he says you can choose to not fight but it doesn't mean that the battle is over get the battle continue it simply means that you've been tried you've been weighed and you've been found with want there's something missing and it's that technology for jesus it's that great for jesus it's that holy ghost are saying that whatever it takes whatever you need me to do whatever time god whatever the amount got if i got it it's yours i think we show up patty caking right anybody know patty caking mama's in the kitchen cooking fried chicken daddy injured raised in hell right i was never good my my eye and hand coronation just don't work that way i'll be like just give me a high five we're good you patty caking for jesus it's not always fun and games we have a good time i i see that we do overnight things and and you're doing everything uh uh g-rated appropriate with god as a youth but when i was a child how does that go i thought as a child but when i became a man when i hit this point of maturity in christ i think sister miriam one step two steps three they they count they calculate diapers in three four five until you get to a place of pull-ups then you're somebody and jesus right i can do potty on my own i can do wee-wee by myself i'm maturing in god i graduated one grade and two grade i'm getting to that point where i'm learning my my mathematics i i'm i'm at division now i'm doing decimals into but but there's a high place in god i've never i'm i was never good in uh and putting letters in with numbers so i'm just not there yet i'm not a paw when i get bit by a snake i'ma cry about it before i shake it off i mean i'm being 100 honest i'm trying to do everything that i can for god i'm i'm stressing my house i'm stressing myself out trying to make it right for god because it's on my mind i gotta go and help so and so i gotta be there for prayers also i gotta be the best i can be at work though i'm trying to be a good husband and a good father why because that's what god wants in me that's why he needs me that's what that's what i must do if i'm a follow christ follow me as i follow christ and i'm not a peter i'm not a water walker yet when with miracles and the signs and the wonders of god they leave me all i'm probably one of the ones that say it's a ghost i might get scared of it and before i run two i might run from it so i'm not there yet i'm a tom i'm a disciple tom because narrow is that gate and it's difficult it's it's that way which leads to life and there you see there's that place again and there at that place at that place of sacrifice at that place of obedience and submission they're in that mind framing and that counsel and that fold are few who find it but i'd rather be with that few than the many that are paddocking for god than the many that don't consecrate themselves that love the world and god at the same time you go that way if you want to but i'm sticking with the few i'm sickened by them who love the law and obey his commandments i thank you sir i appreciate that and few who find it so so let me speak to you the few you the real you the submitted you the obedient you the i died dailiers them the few matthew 22 14 said it like this for many are called but few are chosen luke 12 48 said it like this to whom much is given much is required to much is given much is required you know you work with some people and you get hired at the same time and your work at the same place but when i look around we're not all doing the same thing most of the time it seems like i'm working harder than the other most of the time i'm not the one leaning on something or on my phone they're like why are you upset because nobody is working you're putting all the work and the last time i was here it was like more hands slide in the load teamwork makes the dream work what happened to the unity that that commands the blessing if we haven't been blessed it's because we lack the unity right if it hasn't all come together it's because we have not put him first follow me as i follow christ matthew 9 37 the harvest truly is plentiful there there has not been a change in the work labor in the in the workforce for god there's still a work to be do there's still people to be reached out still homeless on our ground right they're still unsafe they're still potty-mouthers out there right they're still the heathen out there the jezebels out there such were some of you they're still pimps out there prostitutes out there but such were some of you you see in my hood you know i was glad for somebody to go out there and preach the gospel of jesus christ i might have not been ready for it then but he knew that one day i would be ready for it he was seasoning you know right before you get that good steak you you let it marinate a little bit of time because when you're cooking and you pull it out to the right temperature it savors in your mouth and right before you you start to eat it before you pray for your food because it was so good forgive me lord bless this second jesus name so good whether it was so good or you were so hungry the harvest truly is plentiful but the laborers are few don't leave me to do all the work don't leave them to do all the work what if we act like we put the hand to the plow what what if we just pretended like we put our hands to the plow and not to look back i i think when we pretend so much when we do put our hands to the plow it wouldn't be so hard to do the work of god and then we gotta focus the bible says don't look back when you're doing it looking back to what it used to be like using back how you used to think how you used to act who you once were then you see we've come a long way and we thank god for it but although he brought us a very long way from where we came from there's still so much more to get to eyes have not seen ears have not heard you cannot even imagine with your limited understanding what god can do [Music] what if we only pretended to have so many blessings but the laborers are few so we see this all right that nothing is ever easy i was having a fit yesterday because what i was working on this little bitty screw fell to a place where i couldn't see it fell i saw it fall but i couldn't see it no more many of y'all know that things are going to happen and it's not going to be pleasing to you but you're going to have to take some time to find what you dropped you're gonna have to not give up not quit don't get ever mad at everybody like it's their fault i'm responsible for this group falling and i'll be responsible for trying to find it whatever you you lost in god whatever you misplace in the church your anointing your position your joy we said in the morning the joy of the lord is our strength so my question is if you have no strength where is your joy i misplaced it the lord loveth a cheerful giver what happened when you're not cheerful he i got a question that first half who the lord loveth he corrected this word is not failing so the the harvest truly is plentiful and the laborers are few so so we see that nothing is very easy when it comes to god right the bible doesn't say that it's going to be easy or it's going to be convenient convenient for you and i he simply says that that that uh those who endure right to the end not not just come for the first half not stay for for for the what happens in half time but you never out until you're out you you always got to stay to the last quarter or the last round because you never know what's gonna happen you're not out because you say you're out you might lose because you had it in your mind to lose but what happens when you you keep this uh uh persuaded mine in your yeses yes that that my god is going to do it that he's made a way before and he'll make a way again that what happens when i follow them when i follow christ what goes on fair see nothing is ever easy you think you can be positively definitely sure that what can happen will happen children act up god i'm living for god and there's hell at work funny money tired troubles the tire was perfectly on the car now the tire fell off right motor driving around and doing this it was perfectly good yesterday what whatever can happen will happen in a bind again insufficient funds and everybody is on your last nerve can't stand you can't stand you and can't stand you willie lumblum i was having a holy fit and i text minister i mean you know he says you good you're right i need to show up so i'm good i know exactly what i need to do i went into that room started to pray a little bit starting to read my word a little bit and i started crucifying this flesh more down and every now and then that flesh starts barking i'm not talking about that little chihuahua bart what i'm talking about when you're walking in the gate and the pet pool runs up on you and you don't know that he's like run run run run run his teeth are gnawing up against the fence he's this close to me and if you was a smart man you would start running i crucified this flesh daily the flesh is a real thing but but but and everybody was just on your last nerve right sister on your nerve brother on your nerve mama on your nerve right pastor on your nerve and they didn't do nothing to you but i suffer from emotions these testosterone in me and this flesh gather up together and try to take over the spirit man but hebrews 12 27 tells this it tells it like this what can be shaken will be shaken what can be shaken will be shaken the bible calls us to be unmovable steadfast but when you're unmovable and when you're not steadfast you are definitely and positively going to be shaken you're not gonna show up for service you're not gonna preach under the anointing you're not gonna fast and be prayerful you will not have a positive word for your brother what can be shaken so everybody look at your number and say you need your rock jesus responds that says that i am the rock or you need that firm foundation and that sound doctrine right that real truth that real truth that nips in the blood that real truth that speaks to you when you're wrong when you're lying when you're ungodly when you're looking at stuff that you're not supposed that real truth that brings out godly conviction that real truth that leads you to a real holy ghost that leads you to a real church so matthew uh matthew 7 24 25 everyone then who hears i'm reminded of this but by every word that proceeded out the mouth of god everyone that hears these words of mine and does them will be like who a wise man who built his house where on the rock we need that rock 25 continues and the rain fell and the floods came i'm telling you anything that can't happen will happen here comes the storm and whatever you consider to be rain it gets worse it starts to flood meaning water starts to come in the house it's not only happening out there it's not only happening in your community it's happening in the house there is a flood and it came and the winds blew and beat on that house but what but it did not fall why because it had been founded on the rock you were ready you were prepared you built your house on the rock of jesus you were fasting you was praying you was expecting the gates of hell to come but it will not prosper so follow me as i follow christ john 14 6 jesus declares that what i am the way i am the truth and the life that no man cometh unto the father but and accept or through me so i know some of y'all big homies you know uh let me speak to the old you that was going to the club shaking it and and breaking it over there and before you get into that boom boom boom dumb doors right the wide there's a door keeper and you thought you was big but this brother is bigger jesus declares i am the truth and the way and no math cometh unto the father but by me no one enters cometh or go with but or accept by or through me john 10 9 says it like this i am what the door if anyone enters by me he will be what saved and i will go in and out and find pasture what is he the door what is the door the access the accessible place into that realm into the spirit into that spiritual place it's your axis when your yes is yes it's your axes when you decide to go all the way for god it is your axes when you need something from him axis is defined like this a means of approaching and or entering a place i believe a lot of us are not even approaching the place because we have no permission from him you can't even come to the father he says and i thought you can't even come you will not enter so is it come as we we take the words from paul and says follow me as i follow christ revelation 3 and 7 says it like this he will open and no man can shut he will shut and no man can open let's talk about these open and shut doors really quick for the hebrew boys it was safer inside the furnace in your shut door for when when god had made a way out of egypt when he made a way he made a way ask pharaoh if you could when he divided those waters he made a way and when his people got across he closed that water when he shuts the doors of the ark it is sealed and it is shut there were still people on the other side but they got the invitation many were called but few responded but very few responded he will open the door and shut the door john 10 is actually a gate or an entrance a door to a pasture of sheep a spiritual place to a sheep fold what fold are you at what place are you at the original greek word is a word by the name of fyra meaning a door he shares in a parable and metaphorically the door through which the sheep go out and in the name of him who brings salvation to those who follows his guidance follow me as i follow christ john 10 27 my sheep hear my voice i know them and they follow me so what voice do you follow what fold are you in and in what way have you entered i'm getting ready to close john 10 3 to him the door keeper opens and the sheep hear his voice and he calls his own sheep by name bryson jones nixon edmond tom i know you you're just not another possession another made-up thing you're you're not just an item on a shelf but you are you to him and he loves you he knows you in the fold by name so if you go missing in action he's he's concerned if you don't show up for work they're concerned if you haven't been here two or three times we're concerned and we're calling we call you by what your name and he leads them out for and when he brings out his sheep he goes before them right before you're ever in that wilderness you're ever in that desert place where there seems not to be water he's gone there he does never leave you at a unprotected place he does never leave the fold at a place where wolves are at and not to build a fence he said he brings in out his own sheep he goes before them and the sheep follow him for they know his voice yet they will by no means they will yet by no means follow a stranger so why follow them why go that way why be led the bible says that the blind leads the blind and they all fall in the why when you knew the voice yet they will by no means follow a stranger but flee from him for they do not know the voice of strangers will you ever hear she has she know his voice there are safeties in that relationship if he don't go we shouldn't go if it isn't his voice i don't know it i can't hear it therefore what i don't follow heard a proverb y'all ready for it i heard a proverb imitation is a sincerest form of flattery that means what that means trying to do what someone else does own what someone else owns or think like someone else thinks is a compliment to that person another translation for this first corinthians 11 1 says it like this imitate me just as i also imitate christ acts 11 26 and it came about that for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers and the disciples were first called christians in antioch the city named them what is your city naming you the community named them what is your community naming you the city named the disciples and the church the community named them christians why because of the message that they were sending the church and the disciples walked like christ talked like christ had integrity like christ ministered like christ were servants like christ in short they just lived like christ the city named them christians or little crisis the christians of that day were earthly definers they set the trend before us right they paved the way of christ they defined christ by their actions james 1 22 we all know but doers of the word not just hearers only god wants more than belief and your worship in the church what is faith without works he wants faith and love and action inside and outside where of the church god desires to connect the message with the audience his word with the people through the applied practice of christianity after all most people know what you are by what they see not what they hear follow me i'm closing as i follow christ the good shepherd in closing the gospel of luke the 15th chapter the parable is and as follows he told them this parable which of you men right he's in the fold he's talking to his men they're in the crowd and they're and he's beginning to give him godly understanding and knowledge with all the chit chat that's going around which of you men if you had a hundred sheep and lost one and lost one of them wouldn't you leave the 99 in the wilderness and go after that one that was lost until he found it he's concerned about you the one today that one that had look at your seat next to you the one that sat there and the one that sat there where are you today you are more than just one person one thing one item but you are you to him adam where are you what condition what state what realm when he saw the sinful nature i remember young samuel lord is that you calling my name i've heard it again but do you know that voice love david so much david who had always wondered what is man that thou are mindful of him who am i what is little old me love david so much that he sends a prophet his way the lord love he corrects for the sake of your sins david i can forgive a lot of things but not on the behalf of uriah thou are that man it is you although it's not always discipline but it is you is why i showed up this morning it is you why i send this word it is you that's out of position out of place out of the will it is you that he's come for and not just you but you by name what is man that thou are mindful of him who am i david asses that god should care for me and who are you that god should take note of you tom joshua calvin the marlin bryson ashley sarah and everybody else here forgive me if i didn't call your name but i'm not calling you he is calling you you are on his mind you are that he loves your concerns your worry your burden your yoke it is you that he's trying to minister get to you have not gone too far for his hand to reach you and you are that god should take note of you it was man that god created in his likeness it was man that god formed from the dust of the earth and it was into man's lifeless body of clay that the spirit of god breathed life into it was man and not animals it was man and not angels or any other created being of all this earth in the heavens being to whom god gave dominion over adam where are you it was the works of his hands he molded you he shaped you he created you for such a season and a time it is now it is today it is here that he calls your name he doesn't just take you three levels over he seemed to sacrifice seen the hurt and the pain he takes you high with him because he calls you by name the works of his hand and it was when man had been finally fashioned and formed that god pronounced what that everything he made was not only good but very good it is you that he leaves the 99 for he drops all that other business to get to you as an appointment to show up in your life in your crisis and your dilemma it is you oh jesus have you [Music] come on rest on your feet lift your hands up towards heaven hallelujah god we want to follow you
