Dr. Jamal H. Bryant, I JUST CAN'T GET RID OF THEME - November 04th, 2018

[Music] Psalm 23 verse 6 once you found it want you to clay I have it hallelujah let's read it together with uplifted voices surely Your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I'll dwell in the house of the Lord come on let us declare it again with a little bit more vim began vitality everybody surely Your goodness and love [Music] bless the Lord you may be seated I want to preach for a little while there's something after noon using as a subject I just can't seem to get rid of them just can't get rid of would you look at the person beside you and just so you know who I'm talking about recently while flying to London I fell into an old movie from the 60s starring Dustin Hoffman entitled the Graduate the plot is simple while disturbing Hoffman is involved with the young lady who he now wants to be engaged to however she rejects his proposal he waits outside her class and asked her again waits outside of her dorm and asked her again and every time she asks he asked her answer is the same no becoming weary she writes him a letter confessing that after considerable thought and thinking about sharing her life with him was not in her plans in so much as she's now moved on to another town and is in love with another man Dustin implements stalking techniques to try to track her down go so far as to track down the church where the ceremony is being held and interrupts the festivities beats up the bride's father as the altercation with the groom has an argument with other guests and in typical Hollywood fashion Dustin ends up getting the girl she leaves her husband who she just married two minutes ago at the wedding while abandoning the notion that no means no and gives a problem to suggest that women don't have the right to dictate who they want in their life the subliminal message was boy wants girl girl doesn't want boy boy harasses girl and then boy gets girl it is a perversion on the principle of persistence persistence I need you to hear me very carefully persistence only proves persistence persistence does not prove love I gotta give that to you again persistence proves persistence but persistence does not prove love the devil is persistent but he doesn't love you an author of one of my pivotal books on interpersonal relationships that I want to recommend all of you if you've not read it the book is entitled the five love languages well you are encouraged to go through them with your significant other so that your communication does not end up chaotic the unspoken speech impediment of this cultural conditioning brought about by a general dysfunction teaches men that if a woman says no is not known so it is only in that construct that no does not agree with the dictionary definition it is strained through a filter that we then as male species interpret know as maybe not yet give me time I'm unsure or I haven't decided can I say this no is a complete sentence it does not make you mean nasty or unchristian it makes you clear I want every person in the room can you practice it out loud every person as loud as you can you would you just shalt know that there are some things in your life and some people that are just gonna keep coming around until you flat out say no you've tried to be nice diplomatic gracious enduring tolerant but at this point it is absolutely evident that the only thing you can do is say no and something has happened in our christ-like conditioning filtered through the sociology of the church where we are groomed to not say no as if it is impolite as if it is not what it is that God has ordained but coming to the last ten weeks of this year no needs to be fluent in your vocabulary as a matter of fact I want you to be able to say no more often than you say yes no to depression no to unhappiness no to unfulfilled it no just cycles no to addiction no to one-way relationships is up to you to understand cuz I said it clear the answer is no with somebody right where it is that you want don't turn to your neighbor I'm talking to you because sometimes here's the hardest variable you have to train yourself to say no to yourself it is not known to other people you gotta say no watch this to what you have access to to what you know you should not have just because it is available doesn't make it expedient but sometimes we've got a governor under the muscle of self-discipline what can I say no to myself about so many of us treat ourselves in the toxicity we treat ourselves into an imbalance relationship we treat ourselves buster's into a bad diet please hear me there's no such thing as being big-boned you just like Doritos and coke you got a make up in your mind what do I say no to even if I gotta say no to myself stalking here this stalking is a crime of power it is a crime of control it is a crime of intimidation I'm gonna set 23 people free today and I need you to hear me very carefully stalking is a crime of power control and intimidation watch this stalking I gotta say this here may I wrestle with it all weekend I couldn't find another way to say it stalking is being raped while dressed it in a nutshell stalking violates your freedom it honors what's this the wishes of the pursuer and ignores the desire of the presumed stalking here this is the picture of misogyny personified because it takes away a woman's right to decide whether I want you in my life and you're trying to force me into a slavery of companionship when I've already made it clear I don't desire to be around you if it were not stalking you wouldn't have to always be on my page driving by my house asking me where my aunt work it ain't none of your business because by your asking you are forcing yourself into a life you are not welcome I'm stalking what's this I can only be a stalker watch this to a person who knows what they want in their life you didn't hear what I just said 500 W I'm telling you it's going free yourself the manacles you've put around your own mind and around your own subliminal wrists I need just 500 of you out loud and if you watch it online I want you to type it right on the screen every person I want you to declare it if it resonates with your condition I know what I want in my life and you don't sound forceful enough I need you to say it come on declare it out loud with me I know what I want in my life one of the things that we have to do is we have to start teaching our young men here this how to hear no y'all didn't hear what I just said we're to teach our young men how to hear no and we have to teach our daughters that you don't have to negotiate what you're not interested in we've raised them what's this how to look for mr. right for mrs. right but we've never schooled them on how to get rid of mr. wrong and mrs. wrong so most of us have had dialogues with our parents with our mentors with influential people in our lives that told us what we ought to be looking for in a mate in a companion in a life partner in a bride and a groom but nobody ever schools you on what to do on how to appropriately cut it off and so you playing it on a wing why I got to change my whole number yeah y'all ladies say you're nothing to me why why I got to keep blocking you yeah yeah you're your social media is blocked not from solicitors you blocked it because the exes I don't want them in my business they don't need to know what I got going on I'm only speaking out loud what you've said to yourself and you gotta ask yourself how much authority have I given somebody who is not ordained to be in my life then I've gotta alter my life around for the income thing hence of your rejection I hate to keep running the bus over Dustin Hoffman I did an opening scene as you all can tell I watch a lot of movies an opening scene for the movie Tootsie you remember that in opening scene of the movie Tootsie Dustin Hoffman plays an actor reading the lines for an audition he's reading the lines for an audition you gonna remember this for those of you who over 40 you remember this class is a voice offstage yelled to Dustin Hoffman watch this he yelled storm we want somebody who has a different height Dustin Hoffman replies I can be taller I'll put lifts in my shoes they said to him no we want somebody it's a different height cuz we looking for somebody shorter he says oh don't worry about it you don't even understand I got a elevator shoes on the voice in from behind stage I says I know but we're looking for somebody different Dustin Hoffman please I can be different the voice finally concedes and waves the way play you don't get it you ain't what we looking for that passer what are you saying to me there some people you tried to reject and then they tried to change for the part [Applause] god help me because they cinch that you were spiritual then they want to come to church but then as soon as y'all fall out they stop coming to church y'all ain't saying nothing because they are just if their height to what they think you wanted but it was not the real authentic legitimate person that they auditioned to be and you got to be at the place you don't get it you do what I'm looking for [Applause] no matter what the job offers you or the suitor promises you the reality is it ain't that you ain't nice it's not even that you're not attractive it's not even watch this that you're not attentive it is not because I got issues and I do have some but you just ain't in so you'll need to come tell me what God showed you cuz I served the same God and he knows how to talk to me y'all ain't saying nothin to me can I go step forward this is only for the mature people I don't even care if my family likes you if you don't line up with what it is that I want for my life then I've got the right to be able to speak and articulate this is one of the most known scriptures that fits any occasion for all converts it's an amazing scripture its peculiar is bizarre because the same scripture is read at weddings and funerals and revivals and graduations and retirements and by the bedside and on suicide watch and in support groups wherever it is that you are most believers have you ever been to one football game you don't seen the side said John 3:16 or Psalm 23 which is bizarre considering that Psalm 23 is written in an agricultural background and we live in a technological age look at Psalm 23 Psalm 23 verse number one the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want and for five verses we discover why Psalm 23 the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want and then it goes on five more verses to tell me why was this the Lord is my shepherd I want to break it down to you the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want what's this that speech to relationship the Lord is my shepherd it's a relationship shell not one watch this it's speech to resources because you can't come in a relationship with me and not have no resources y'all just missed and I'm gonna come and come back Lord is my shepherd we in a relationship shall not want cuz you can't come in a relationship without resources makes me lie down watch this that's rest please hear me if in fact you can't sleep worried and thinking about who you with it ain't a healthy relationship you should be able to sleep not worrying about where they are who they wit or what they are doing he makes me lie down that's what wrath leads me beside still waters that's refreshment ladies and gentlemen please don't be in relationship with anybody that are joining you god I can't hear nobody in here you if you the one that's always got the poor it is not
