Bishop Noel Jones Preaching "I've Been Approved"

you are watching the Jonathan desperate gospel channel be blessed [Applause] [Music] [Music] it's just good I'm not going to keep you too long tonight but I always begin with a little talk on leadership because many times we take our leaders for granted and and really it's it speaks volumes when somebody takes you for granted it's actually a compliment uh we don't like it but it says that you're Dependable it says that you are reliable you're constant you're consistent you're so much a part of the fabric of success that we no longer even sense your presence it's really something you can't take everybody for granted I mean some people you have to micromanage you have to watch them and look very carefully to make sure that they don't ruin your stuff amen but anytime you go to a church and it's peaceful and it's organized and it's going forward you ought to give God thanks for that leader every day amen amen amen amen you know sometimes we don't know the value of what we have until we lose it and then when it's gone we find uh Bishop the late Bishop Arthur Brazier I went to his funeral and before he died I went to visit him because he took me in some 30 years ago and even though he was 30 years older than I I hung with him all the time and as we were talking he said I said to him I said it seems uh very tragic that none of us is indispensable and the old man said to me as he was sitting there grappling with his own mortality he said to me Noel none of us is indispensable but some of us are irreplaceable and that was quite a statement that touched me deeply in my heart because you have some men around here and women around here that are irreplaceable and I think we ought to extol the virtue of the gifts that God has given us and we ought to thank God for gifted men and gifted women because the truth of the matter is whenever you're gifted that gift is not for you that gift is for somebody else and when you end up with a lot of haters when when when people hate because of your gift they're really not Criminal they're just crazy because after you have killed somebody that's gifted you can't get their gift the only way to enjoy the gift is to keep the person alive amen amen your character is yours but your gift belongs to somebody else and as I go forward I'm going to say this if you don't have any haters you're not very gifted amen somebody's not going to like you because your gift and don't take the negative negatively take it positively and just operate your gift because you have it amen give God praise for yourself give God praise for your leaders amen can I can I say just one other thing before I go further uh nobody really extols the virtue of the creativity that goes into this job on Saturdays I don't know when past the study I have to study all the time but when sometimes this Bible with all of these pages on a Saturday night when you know you've got thousands of people to preach to the next day sometimes it shrinks into a pamphlet am I the only one that has that problem or sometimes the creative and the cognitive intellectuality that goes into this business is oftentimes missed by most of our members they don't grasp the enormity and significance of being creative enough to speak to the same congregation every Sunday with a fresh word amen amen it's not just a three-point message that you all learned it's being able to deal with a contemporary situation and Circumstance and take a book that was written thousands of years ago glean truth from it have one foot in the problem the other in the solution and speak to everybody out of one voice and feel like he's only speaking to you nobody gives any consideration for what it takes these men and these women to put together a word you know if you're on the road all you need is as many messages as you go into one particular City if I go seven times to Detroit I only need seven messages and a good secretary to make sure that I Don't Preach in the other Church what I preached in the other Church amen but when you got to get up and preach to the same congregation every Sunday and and and you all are discriminating you will get ready you will wash your car get one of those three four hundred dollar hairdos put on your Louis button uh Javon she Brioni anti and you will go to the church Drive 20 minutes 30 minutes to the church pull up and you don't see the pastor's car and you may ask is he here and you will back that car out go back home or go to a church you wanted to visit because uh that you didn't go to because Pastor was home you are discriminating you're discriminating because the level of Excellence that has been displayed you don't want any less but nobody gives any real Credence to what goes into being able to preach to you every week anybody who preaches to you every Sunday you ought to pray for every day and you ought to give God thanks you know every now and then we take one you know we didn't quite get the homework together and we take one and we tie it up with another one and we put a new subject to it amen then we get up and announce it but the church folk take notes got your name written beside the scripture the date you preached it the subject you preached it and some have the unmitigated Gall and audacity to say you preached it better the first time give God praise for the Creative Energy that makes this thing work come on give God just though just a warm-hearted praise for every one of these leaders and preachers amen I brought some material and uh I have lots of good stuff at the table preaching 101 I've got that I've got Jehovah Jireh I've got all kinds of prophesying to the false prophets amen I've got credit Sunday school increasing and improving creditfaithmate.com but I want you to turn with me and all that's at the table but I want you to turn with me to Romans chapter 5. and I want to associate that with Saint James uh chapter one and I have some glasses somewhere uh oh here it is there it is yes yes yes and uh I thought about I said now they have a wonderful theme Here great God great vision uh great accomplishment the revelation of God's glory but I was so glad that you had a speaker to address that because that untied my hands and I thought that I would do nothing new I was not going to come and and try to navigate down some road I haven't been down before not with all of you out here I'm not going to try to do that amen so if you would go with me to Romans chapter 5 verse 1 says therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ now the peace with God is certainly different than the peace of God peace with God is the work of Jesus Christ on Calvary where the iconos just as if we have never sinned it is not that we did anything to Merit it it's simply that when God looks through the blood of Christ Jesus we look white come let us reason together though your sins be as Scarlet I will make them white as wool when he looks through the blood of Christ Jesus we look white when he looks around the blood with still Scarlet I was flying to Africa the other day with the bishop Jakes and a few others I was doing something there and I wanted to be unnoticed in the night as I was reaching for my Dr Dre uh headphones and I have this little red light that I look in the dark for things and it's interesting I just didn't want to you know everybody else trying to sleep you know that kind of stuff and and as I looked through the red light and turned the headset on it has a little red light and the red light that I was looking at it through cause of the other red light to look white when I removed the red light it was red the light didn't change the light was still red but when you look through red it looks White peace with God has nothing to do with anything that we do peace with God comes simply by the work of Jesus Christ on Kelvin now the peace of God is a process through sanctification through the Holy Spirit which means I can truthfully say that all of us have peace with God but all of us have not yet achieved the peace of God that's a process all right so now he continues and he says by whom also that's by Jesus Christ Our Lord we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in the hope the glory of God and not only so but we Glory in tribulations also knowing that tribulation worketh patience patience experience and experience hope and hope make it not a shame because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us I would read a little bit of James chapter 1 beginning at verse 2 and it says my brethren counted all joy I'm trying to get there I don't think I got there yet when you fall into diver's Temptations knowing this that the trying of your faith work at patience but let patients have a perfect work that she may be perfect and entire wanting nothing if any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God that giveth all men liberally and afraid if not and it shall be given him but let him ask in faith not wavering for he that waveereth is like a wave of the seed driven with the wind and tossed for letting not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways I'm concerned primarily about two words one patience and experience patience of course is from the Greek word Hoopa Monet and experience is from the Greek word dakamaza and is to remain under until there is an approval I just want you to look at somebody like you're angry with them and tell them I've been approved now look at somebody like you love them and tell them I've been approved tell somebody else you've been approved now holler we are approved that's what I want to talk about Book of Romans is regarded in some circles as Paul's Treatise or Paul's presentation of the Gospel and somebody asked the question how can it be defined as the Treatise of the Gospel or his presentation of the Gospel and my sister is here somewhere thank you Janet for dinner and not have the signature or the character of Matthew Mark Luke and John how is it that it can be defined as gospel when it doesn't deal with the historicity of Jesus it doesn't deal with the uniqueness of his birth the uniqueness of his life his teaching the uniqueness of his death burial and Resurrection and yet still it is defined as Paul's presentation of the Gospel Matthew Mark Luke and John show us and very definitely deal with Christ's humanity and what they show us is that he lived in a particular time in history in a particular geographic location and that makes him human because all of us will sojourn in a particular time in a particular place and yet still Jesus didn't go further than a hundred miles from where he was born but the uniqueness of his presentation leave something out in the Gospels when we see the gospels we get the historical presentation but we don't get the theological philosophy that surrounds what happened when he sojourned and so it is Paul now who breaks us into the philosophical theology that surrounds the sanctification propitiation Redemption adoption and of course justification we don't see that but we don't get those definitions in Matthew Mark Luke and John so Paul's presentation of the Gospel goes behind the scenes of the historical presentation and gives us the philosophical so that we believe Jesus to get in here but we know him to stay it's one thing to believe him based on the record it's another thing to have the theology that gives you the strength to hold on in difficult times he opens up uh in chapter one and what Paul does in chapter one is he turns one barrel of the shotgun against Mankind in general and what he says is that when man should have received and been grateful he refused to retain God in his own knowledge and because he refuses to retain God in his own knowledge God says all right you want to put me on trial then I tell you what I'll do I'll give you a mind that can't try anything oh oh yes I told you a while ago when people are sinful it's not just because they're criminal it's because they're crazy because God gave a mind that was trials because man decided that he wanted to put God on trial to see whether or not he wanted to deal with him do I have just a little time and then I have a little time it's critical here because man chose not to retain God within the parameters of his own thinking and that of course is because of free will God gave Free Will and to give free will what God has to do is reduce his omnipotence to allow the creature in his space to have any choices that God himself might or might not like it's a critical piece because he puts the man he he lowers yes he lessens his omnipotence allows the man to make choices and he puts himself on the Shelf to see whether or not the man would choose him now notice now how in theology is called Divine self-effacement where God reduces himself to the point where he will allow the creature the right or to choose him if the creature is not allowed to put him up for Choice then he does not have free will because Free Will must also include the creature's ability to choose or not to choose the Creator but you cannot not choose the Creator and expect things to go on as if you did because if God is not a part of your choices then what you have done is just eliminated the substratum of all of your intellectual capacity and ability anytime you refuse to choose God things can't follow you as if God is with you uh something's pushing me here you know I can do that anytime I can do that anytime that's not the anointing that's just me all right don't worry about it it's it's a critical piece here because What man does is man wants to enjoy the freedom to choose and if he chooses and God is not a part of the choice then God does not have to send any extra chastening the man will automatically be chastened by his own choices I don't get your chastening and you don't get my chastening because my chastening is predicated on what I choose to do now when man chose not to have God and retain God in his mind what happens now is that his mind becomes so trial-less that he can't even understand the significance of the opposite sex uh when a man is running his hand through the hair of another man and running his hand down the back of another man and running his hand down the legs of another man he's not criminal he's just Madness [Applause] because he chose not to retain God in his knowledge God gave him over to a mind that cannot figure out what to do uh can I can everything now now we want the choices we we want the choices but we we don't want the consequence of our choices we want to choose uh now now now now because God because he he decreased or because he divinely self-effaced as it relates to his um nippotense he did not reduce his arm initiate which means that he knows what we're going to choose before we choose it but if every time we chose something that he didn't approve of and he interfered then we would not have free will Free Will necessitate that I can choose whatever I want to choose but the problem is I have to live with the consequences now we use that against God we do it all the time and we say something like you know well Lord if you knew that man was going to treat me like he did you should have never let me choose him Lord you know if that woman was going to treat me like that you should have never let me choose her how could you let me make that choice well when Mama told you to leave the man alone that was God uh when your best friends told you to leave the man alone that was God when the woman he was with told you you don't need him that was God and when the man himself said now baby you don't need to mess with me that was God but you had to have him and so now you got to leave I wish somebody to help me uh chapter number two he turns the second barrel of the shotgun against the Jewish people he said now you had the pentateuch you had the Torah you have the law you have the pillar of cloud by day the pillar of Fire by night and you wouldn't serve God by chapter number three he proves that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God in chapter 4 he picks up with justification and he points out that we cannot justify ourselves no more than Abraham can have a child at a hundred and Sarah at 90. just as that is our double impossibility so it is that you and I cannot justify ourselves because indeed and in fact our trialless mind was so reprobate that we didn't even choose to come to God independent of him drawing us we are here because we were chosen in him before the foundation of the world and we could make that choice unless he first sorrow or dragged us it would seem then that according to the issue of justification and that's where we're going now that it would be an easy ride and it would be just you know we just slip right in and just make it through without any difficulties but the truth of the matter is that God has to raise us to bring us from what we used to be and how we used to think to the way that he wants us to think you see we were processed and we were socialized in a negative environment and our proclivity and tendency is to operate within the parameters of the environment that we will socialized in I mean the first words that God spoke to Abraham he said to Abraham he said one I want you to leave your father's house I want you to leave the place of your birth I want you to leave your country I want you to leave your land essentially now not in that order he started with leave your land it was it was Karl Marx that said that land ownership is a substratum of wealth and stability and God said to Abraham I want you to leave your land I don't want you when you walk with me to associate anything material as your strength for being with me I want you to leave your land then he said to him I want you to leave the place of your birth it's for nozza who said that we are the poor what our pool is the genetic pool we draw from is what we become and what God is saying now I want to socialize you differently because of the blood of Jesus I don't care what's running in your blood when I run in your blood you're going to be different than what your mama's mama's mama's fathers fathers father used to be then he said I want you to leave your father's house because Sigmund Freud said we are no better than the way we were developed in our early childhood and so what God is saying now is I need you to change your mind set and that's why there is a process to bring us from one level of life to the next level and it all begins with the transformation of our mind I want to bless you I want to take you to another level but you have to be able to make the leap from the way you were socialized the way you were brought up and where I want to take you you've got to be able to move from the whole the lame the crippled the blind into a space that I want to take you and so the question then becomes will thou be made whole and the answer is I'm about to heal somebody in here but I'm only going to heal one Somebody by this pool I don't want to waste my healing so I want to know are you ready to take the step from the way that you were socialized the way that you were brought up from the way that you were manipulated and orchestrated by those who were around you that are you ready now to make the Quantum Leap to be where I would have you to go and in order for that to happen you just can't walk in and walk straight into the mindset that God would have you to have and so he points out now that there is a relationship between tribulation and the stability of the Christians walk and that's why I borrowed James a little bit because what James is saying is that there is a relationship between the tribulation and the stability of a child of God's walk if I don't have to face any tribulation then I will not develop as an individual but in a love relationship where there is tribulation it oftentimes questions my credulity and my credibility and veracity as it relates to my God he loves me and if he loves me then why do I have to go through anything why should I have to face difficulties of life because anytime we think about love we think about being protected we think about being covered in a manner where we don't have to go through anything I mean if you love me why would you allow me any kind of pain at all but it seems here as if there's a proper way to handle trials and there is an improper way to handle trials and I speak this everywhere because it's important for us to understand particularly with the economic situation in our country that we have to handle trials properly the proper way to handle trials as James put it to us in verses 2 through 4 is count it all joy when you enter into diver's Temptations now he's dealing with Temptations and he calls it divers and what that simply means from the Greek is it's variegated it's round trials it's Square trials it's rectangular trials it's it's it's polka dot trials it's Paisley trials and and it's not something that you thought through you're not always the initiator of what you have to go through sometimes you got to go through stuff just because you were in somebody else's space and you had to deal with the collateral damage of the way they operated and next thing you know you are in a storm over who you are with sometimes people put you through hell just because they want to and some people do it through carelessness and some people do it through their own malicious disposition and attitude sometimes you have been put through trials just because of the home you were born in and you didn't determine who your parents were and before you know it you're being developed socially in a psychologically debilitated Arena that affects your life later because you just came up in the wrong home and you had nothing to do with it he said the proper way to handle that is to count it all joy and the reason you counted all joy is because your maturity level has taken you out of the situation into the results of the situation in other words I'm looking at and horrific situation but I have projected my spirit out of the situation into a place of Revelation as to what this situation is going to make out of me I'm not going to have the same kind of mechanism that did the choosing that got me into trouble because I've entered into diverse Temptations and I've been whipped enough to know that I don't need to rush into making any decision about anything that's going to be life affected because of the Temptations and the trials I have faced I've learned to slow down and make sure that I've included God in the process of my decision making and so he says count it all joy because it's building your parent I have allowed it to come come into your space so that I can make you strong enough not to be in a hurry about anything but rather to be cool enough to know that if God is not in it then I don't want to be a part of it any way I wish I knew that years ago because I wouldn't have stumped my toes and I wouldn't have lost my mind had I understood that the trials around me are not there to destroy me but rather to make me better oh God no no hey just take my time because I'm not going to be too long it's critical now because I never saw the association between double-mindedness and trials I never understood that the If any man lack wisdom let him ask God uh he's saying that you cannot not walk with God positively because you're going through some stuff right now he says now you've got to have enough wisdom to understand that what it is you're going through is being orchestrated manipulated and controlled by God it is God forming you in the middle of something you regard as negative and sometimes God has to push you to the very edge of your mind in order for you to change your mind I don't know about you but you say you see sometimes I walk outside of the principles of God and when you walk outside of the principles then you need Miracles can I post can I say it another way the more you walk in principle the less you need miracle uh the problem we need so many miracles is because we don't walk according to principle and can I take it further the only time I am nervous about my enemies is when I'm not walking according to principle because if I'm walking according to principle there is nothing in my enemies can do with me oh yes yes yes yes because when I'm walking according to principle if my enemy gets into the Hedge that's because God has ordained a situation for Revelation uh okay can I say that again when I'm walking into principle the enemy can't get to me uh you see it was as much a miracle all for job to get in trouble as it was for us to get out of trouble why because job is walking in principle and as long as he's walking in principle it will take a miracle for the enemy to get in the miracle was that God removed the Hedge and he removed the heads in order to give job a revelatory experience that he couldn't have had if he was sequestered in the Hedge let me put another way can I work in just a minute we go shout after a while but I got to work I got to have something to shout about now Jesus Jesus Jesus is a friend of Lazarus he's a friend of Martha and he's a friend of Mary and their friends and John in Chapter 11 allow me the digression in chapter 11 I expends the first six verses trying to show us just how close Jesus was to this family and yet still when they were sick and the Word was sent to Jesus he just didn't go you know can I talk a little bit about our pastors let me talk pastors now most of us who who have the churches of of God Smiled On Us we got a few members we generally have a staff of ministers who go to visit the sick and you know they go to visit the sick and I look at it as Here I Am the body of an octopus and all of the people who serve with me are my tentacles and so you send somebody over to visit one of your members and and they go over there and they first thing they ask is did they pass the call you come on man the reason I sent you over there is to represent me now why are you going over there starting some stuff uh asking the sick that alcohol you are my phone call you you represent my visit you know how it is when people don't respond when leaders don't respond when people are sick that's why Martha said if you hadn't been here my brother would not have died wrong wrong wrong I have allowed the enemy in the Hedge because I only give Revelation to my friends I don't give Revelation to my enemies I only give Revelation to my friends and I chose you so that I might reveal to the world that I am the resurrection and the life he that believeth on me though he were dead yet shall he live and he that liveth and believeth on me shall never die so I had to create a situation in order to give you a revelation he created a situation for Revelation and called it Jehovah Jireh he created a situation for Revelation and called it Jehovah rofika he created a situation for Revelation and called it Jehovah Rama he created a situation for Revelation and called the Jehovah sikhanu and he's creating a situation for Revelation in your life and he says when I create the situation count it all joy because I'm getting ready to take you to another level I feel like preaching I'm gonna tell you touch your neighbor seven times that's it I'm not barring one yet betrayals then must be approached with Joy Based on the realization of what the trial is going to make you you want to be anointed but you're not just go rub on somebody that's anointed and end up anointed you go have to go through something you're gonna have to be broken a few times just just just broken and just broken if I break you twice you can only feed two people if I break you three times you can touch three if I break you 40 times you can touch 40. well some of us had to be broken a few thousand times in our lives so that we might touch people of all sizes of all types of all kinds so when I'm being broken I must give God praise because he doesn't break until He blesses he has to bless you so you can take the breaking so he can distribute you to many different people so instead of complaining while you're going through he says count it all joy I feel like speech again where am I Patrick all right good it's it's critical here because it leads to patience y'all sit down you all said we got work to do and at least and patience completes us it takes the edge off of being in a hurry about anything so that's now why he says we glory in tribulations also because Satan you're bringing it on thinking you're going to destroy me but what you're going to end up doing is making me better I will not be bitter but I will be be better and that's why I give God praise for all of my enemies because my enemies get me blessed my enemies help to move me to the next level my enemies helped to uncover the weaknesses that I have that prove that God can fortify the weaknesses because of my cognitive involvement in the move of God oh God get gift God thanks for your enemies your enemies just help you to find out who or to be in your space and who ought to be eliminated from your space that's what tribulation does all trials do is help me to distinguish who is who in my space and now you need to be reduced you need to be increased you need to be moved over there you need to go over there when I was going through something you left me to go through by myself you were with me on the Mount of transfiguration but you couldn't hang with me in Gethsemane now you were there when it was time to appraise but you didn't know when I lost my house you know when I bought it when we had to party but you didn't know when I lose lost it oh I didn't know you were going through all that articulation does is help you to figure out who needs to be around you and who needs to be gone that's all it does it helps you to pick around who your friends are and who your enemies are you know sometimes you have people around you that really get envious when you're blessed as long as you're complaining about what's going on in your life oh let's go to lunch but let somebody call you and ask you how you doing no I'm doing fine all right see you later you want to go to lunch when I'm hurting but you see me later when I'm doing all right I wish somebody'd help me here oh God it's pretty because he says I want you now to Glory uh capture my and it really means to glory on account of a thing that is exalt because of something because God moves you to next levels in very scandalous of scandalism from the Greek where Paul says the preaching of the Gospel is Scandal often there in the Latin they're very offensive where Jesus says blessed is a man who is not offended in me and it's easy to get offended when your expectation and your experience don't come together that's when you go double-minded because I'm expecting something but I'm experiencing something else uh the prophet should have told us that we were going to experience Financial decline game in America and because we didn't get the right word we were not equipped to handle having to downsize I wish somebody had helped me but the truth of the matter is the Tribulation will prove whether you're real or your Memorex I may lose my house but I'm not going to lose my mind I may lose my job but I'm not going to lose in my mind because I'm gonna need my mind for the next job because you lose a man don't mean you ought to lose your mind because you're gonna need your mind for the next man because I lost a woman don't mean I'm gonna lose my mind and I got news for you give somebody a high five for the first time and it's a neighbor never say you have lost everything because cause a child of God cannot lose everything as long as I got called I'm ahead of myself here y'all Sit down you're you're sit down I I gotta remember where I am uh it's it's your glory in the thing you got a glory and then they and they exalt him because you know where it's going and notice how God operates he chooses Joseph and he says to Joseph what I need you to do is I want to make you second man in Egypt and I want to make you second man in Egypt and the question is why because of Egypt no I want to make you second man in Egypt because I want you to cover Israel well who is Israel Israel of Sons of Jacob well who are the sons of Jacob of Joseph's brothers but what did Joseph's brothers do sold him as a slave after contemplating killing him now his assignment is to cover his brothers but his brothers sold him into slavery now if Joseph couldn't understand the significance of the tribulation it would have made him bitter and not better had he been bitter he would have blown his assignment because he would have used his power to destroy the brothers that sold him into slavery and we should understand it but instead he looks at his brothers from a lost position that they helped to create because had they not treated him like that he wouldn't have been where he became so now he looks at them and instead of being angry he simply says you meant it for evil what God meant it for good so I'm not gonna sit here and let my enemies feel like I'm dead The Devil Is Alive come on devil do what you want because at the end of the day God's Gonna use everything you throw at me to make me what he wants me to be I feel something pushing me here when you understand this the article here in Tribulation uh you know sit down we can work a little bit so it's coming pressing together it's it's a blessing together it's an oppression it's an Affliction it's distress and the article suggests and the article yes suggests that this is natural Peter helps us with that when he says think it not strange don't think it foreign don't think it's outside of the operation of God when you're going through something it's God ordained because when he's not working on things around you he's working on you and at the end of the day it's not what you have it's who you are I am who I am in a Bentley but I am who I am on a bicycle I am who I am in a Brioni suit but I am who I am in a jogging suit you see gardening will use the things in order to make me what he wants me to be because at the end of the day he's not coming back from my house and he's coming back for me and if he's got to take losing my house in order to make me what he wants me to be then he'll do just that I feel it here and when I know how I'm coming out and I'm know how much better I'll be here I praise God for the new me that the trials and the tribulations are bringing there is always a separation between my anointing and my appointing and I've got to learn how to operate wisely when I am the anointed one but somebody else is appointed David learned how to be the second man in a first position you've got to understand how to navigate when you are under even though you've been anointed to be over don't lose your mind while you're under because you have been anointed to be over I feel something give somebody a high five number two answer neighbor act wisely give God praise why you're going through it because you know where it's coming out at the end of the day this will not kill me this will make me better and I'm praising God already for what he's going to use me to do after I come through this trial I'm praising them for the Revelation I already have after I come through what the devil thinks is going to destroy can I take it further I've got a few I feel something coming on now ah then he says this and I quote he said it does not simply mean when we are in tribulations but also because we are so the tribulation becomes the ground of glorying unquote now here's where the holy ghost kicks in because my next level the exaltation is not in the tribulation themselves but beneficial nature that comes out of them it's because God has chasten me and now I'm seeing the effects of the chastening and that is I've learned how to call on him better I've learned how to feel his presence better I've learned how to in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct my path I've learned how to stay before him because his power now moves in a greater way and I understand that there is a certain anointing that comes when I'm going through something that I can't find when I'm not I wish somebody to understand me there's a level of comfort and consolation that he brings into my spirit when I'm going through a horrendous circumstance and I love it so much until I'm crying out to him Lord what else do I have to go through so that I can feel your presence in a way I've felt it when everything was going crazy on the outside Lord what else do I have to go through that will increase my worship that I can lift up and enjoy your name even though I'm flat broke I'm enjoying you with a wealth that's coming out of the depth of my soul and I'm reaching for you in a manner that I've never reached to you before so I'm praising him for the condition I'm praising him for the situation because I'm not walking by situation I'm walking by Revelation that no matter how rough it is I'm coming out with a mighty hand oh yeah so now it produces something then and the writer says would it come publishes is Cooper money and Hoopa Monet is a steadfastness it's a constancy it's an endurance one of the etymologists put it like this and I quote the characteristic of a man who is unswerved from his deliberate purpose and his loyalty to Faith and piety even by the greatest sufferings can I preach like I feel it my brother was up here earlier and I heard him preaching in the midst of a painful situation and as he was preaching I noted that he didn't swerve from his purpose but he held on to the truth of God even though he was going through losing his mother can I talk to you a little bit you've got to learn to stay focused in light of your calling and whatever your purpose is you got to let the devil know I might be hurting but I'm still focused I might be talked about but I'm still focused I might be mistreated but that ain't gonna stop nothing I might be looked at as I'm least but that ain't gonna stop me cause I know my purpose and I know my destiny and it doesn't matter what you throw at me I'm still going to be here doing the will of God I might be crying but I'm still moving I might be hurting but I'm still praising I might be down and out but I made up my mind that I'm going to hold on to the purpose that God has placed in my life we might as well have church come on Pat I'm tired of lecturing I feel like having just a little church give some money high five for the third time and say Hoopa money you got to remain under if it's causing you to get closer to the Lord don't try to jump out of it just stay there till God gets through with his work don't run from it don't run out of it just hold on to the Lord begins to move you to the next level give some money high five for the fourth time and said neighbor you can't go back to Egypt you've got to keep going forward you got to keep moving to the next level you can't go back to Egypt you gotta get by bit of water you gotta get by the amalekites at refer them you gotta get by everybody at Jordan you got to keep moving through a high you gotta get through till you get to the river and you can't turn back yeah I don't care how rough it is in front of you that's where you got to go so you can't keep crying every time you run into a situation that I want to go back to Egypt ain't nothing back there God's taking you from slavery and he's moving you to ownership and if it remains Hoopa Monet I'm gonna stay in this Wilderness until God brings me to the promised land I'd rather be free with trials than to be somebody's slave making bricks I feel like preaching in here put some money beside you I said keep going forward because you've got to get over these hurdles in order to become all that God has called you to be so I got the whole pomonie I got to stay under it I know folks don't like the new Direction but you got the whole Harmony you've got to stay there with it until you overcome every opposition in your spirit I feel some pushing me right about now and hope I'm only turns to Dr mazzo and I might as well close this up cause I feel Church coming on I feel something getting ready to happen up in this house give somebody a high five for the second to the last time and said neighbor I've got to hang in there I got to hold on because I feel the next level is about to take place I'm one pain away from my victory I'm one care away from my Deliverance I'm one heartache away from being who God has called me to be I'm one I'm one just one can I preach like I feel it now open Money leads to Dr Mazo and Dr mazzo means to go through a series of events to see whether or not they can stamp and approve alonia I don't know what to drive but I know every car has a guarantee on it it's been approved for a certain amount of Miles well I can tell you they didn't guess when they said a hundred

I'll just come to tell you that I've been torn down I've been driven in the rain driven in the snow then the Lord pulled me down check my out made some adjustments that they put me back in the Wind Tunnel had some dummies crash me on both sides then he pulled me back down put me back together then he set me up then he put me in the snow ran me in the rain then I crashed then he pulled me back

of the world and when I gave it to you I knew the mistake you would make because I had all the facts when I gave it to you when I called you to preach I had all the facts the gifts and calling of God is without repentance you don't have to take it back because when he gave it he knew everything what you did did not surprise God he knew it before he gave you the gift so now just get over it you've
