second chapter starting at verse 5. let this mind be in you which was also in christ jesus who being in the form of god did not consider it robbery to be equal with god but made himself of no reputation taking the form of a bond servant and coming into the likeness of men and being found in appearance as a man he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death even the death of the cross therefore god also has highly exalted him in giving him the name which is above every name that at the name of jesus every knee shall bow of those in heaven and of those on earth and of those under the earth and that every tongue shall confess that jesus christ is lord to the glory of god the father the word of god for the people of god thanks be unto god amen amen let us go to the throne of grace dear lord we just come thanking you for this blessed day and acknowledging you as the king of kings and the lords of the lords you are el shaddai and a very present help in a time of

scripture reading i will be reading from matthew the 25th chapter verses 31 through 40. when the son of man comes into his glory and all the holy angels with him then he will sit on the throne of his

you drink when did we see you a stranger and take you in or naked and clothe you or when did we see you sick or in prison and come to you and the king will answer and say to them assuredly i say to

lift our heads toward the heels from which cometh our help and we know our help cometh from the lord so blessed right now in jesus name we pray amen on behalf of the fellows of muslim baptist church i want to send our prayers and our wishes and the fact that we will be there for uh george floyd's family at this time and their need if they need anything i say give us a call this was a tragic event in our lives we have a serious serious problem on our police department here in minneapolis and we need the lord to step in it is a culture that's there it's not just these four men it's a culture and it will continue to happen again and again and again until we address the real problem the real problem is a union that has no black folk in it the real problem is a fraternal order of police that protects their own the real problem is racism in the state of minnesota and until we can address it sit down and seriously talk about it it's not going to get better and we hope that this chaos that's going on in our streets right now do not does not distract us from the real issue um and so that's my first point my second point is as african-americans and i know some don't disagree with me we have got to stop excusing our babies for their destruction i know they're angry i know they're mad but there are other ways there are other ways okay to vent than what they're doing now what happened to target autozone had nothing to do with this murder nothing to do with the murder so we we we've got to find a way to speak to the we give them a pass and we got to stop we got to say this is wrong and we're not going to make excuses for you anymore it's that we're making the same excuses we made in the 60s when they rioted tore up our city removed all our good businesses out of our community and they're gone i'm not sure if target will ever come back again so let's let's i don't stop but god bless you let's pray um there is problems on both sides but and we need to speak to both sides so thank you i just want to lift up a quick word today following up on last week's sermon what is your final answer last week we came out the book of luke and and jesus says um that we ought to always pray and not faint boy i didn't know how real that was going to be this the following week okay that we ought to pray and not faint he says always pray and not faint so i'm gonna lift up part two to that and then i'm gonna let it go but prayer is essential for the christians life because um i think it was um uh our own minister john anthony that that said you know we we are a sunday uh easter sunday morning people but a friday good friday good friday that's the way we live and that looks like that's where we live on a good friday where it's hell all the time so i want to i want to lift up a prayer today uh that will um i believe help us on this way in the 51st psalms you find this prayer this prayer of a man who is in need of an answer from his god he feels separated from his god because of what he has done and here in the 51st song of these words have mercy upon me o god according to your lovingkindness according to the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions wash me thoroughly from my iniquities and cleanse me from my sins for i acknowledge my transgressions and my sin is always before me against you you only have i sin and done this evil thing then i just want to jump right now to the shout in verse 10. create in me a clean heart oh god and renew a right spirit in me can i say it one more time lord i need you to start with me before i look across the table before i look at anybody else before i look across the church lord my prayer begins with me create within me a clean heart and renew a right spirit of me we need a revival y'all and i don't know about you but my spirit needs a revival before that can become a revival in the general public you ought to have a revival in you and certain things have to be cleaned up in you certain things got to be done right in you certain things got to turn around in you and if you don't start with you it'll never get right if we want our homes to get right i'm so glad the men here the mint we have the men must pray this prayer lord yes have mercy upon me o god according to your tender mercies according to your multitudes uh your tender mercies blot out yes my transgressions look the text says that we have to pray this prayer and the prayer starts say start with me i'm not looking at wilma i start with with me all right i remember when we first got married i believed that there were some things ought to change about wilma help me somebody the way the marriage was gonna work if things changed well by wilma and the marriage was gonna work help me somebody no no no no no no no what actually ended up happening after almost 40 years there were some things that had to change about me and that's why we made it for 40 years sometimes it's about you and nobody else first oh see sometimes we got to understand um that we've got to pray first uh if you if you go back to the first church those people went into the upper room waiting on the holy spirit praying for the holy spirit to come down see you you've got to sometimes just sit and wait for the holy spirit to come upon you so that you are changed we can only a witness to to other folk but we must change um there was a prayer you remember this prayer of paul and silas were locked up in prison and the bible says they didn't have anything anywhere to go they were there with the rest of the folk in prison and the bible says that all they decided to do are in prison they didn't decide the stage of jailbreak they didn't decide to cause a riot they decided all we need to do right now is just start singing and praying help me sorry just singing and praying praying and singing and the bible says when they started singing and praying at midnight the whole building shook and something happened help me somebody later on in that text in the fourth chapter there you uh peter and john are in trouble they are in jail they get out of jail and they started praying listen to how it goes the bible says when they prayed uh the whole place shook then they were filled with the holy spirit and they spoke the word of god can i go back to it when they prayed the place shook oh help me somebody when they prayed minneapolis shook when they prayed fellowship in the city of baptist church shook when they prayed our homes will shake and the bible says when it started shaking they were filled with the holy ghost and once they were filled with the holy ghost they spoke a word for the lord help me somebody yeah that's that's what we need we need somebody speaking a word for the lord but you understand can i go backwards with it and similar they taught us something you got to go backwards you know what to speak a word for the lord you got to be filled with the holy ghost help me somebody to be filled with the holy ghost you got to be shook i mean somebody to be shook you got to have prayed help me somebody it just doesn't happen you got to start praying for the lord look look at look at the text this text is about a man who has done a terrible thing and realized it he doesn't try to hide it he now steps up to god and says god i've done a terrible thing he says lord you know what um i i took another man's wife i had that man killed and lord uh i'm guilty lord i need your forgiveness look how he starts off the prayer no excuses he says have mercy he doesn't blame his mama he doesn't blame his daddy he doesn't blame the white man he says lord have mercy on me o god second point here i want to lift up according to your loving kindness oh somebody says where would i be without the lord's loving thank god he loved me so that he would show his kindness and his mercy toward me do not get uh he says later on he'll say do not cast me away from you but then at the end and i'm going to sit down now he says lord after you uh do all of that listen to my prayer if you blot out all of my transgressions after you wash me thoroughly from my iniquities after you cleanse me from all of my sins and and know god i acknowledge my transgressions and my sin is always before me he says create in me a clean heart understand what david's problem really was david was not in place and y'all been in the wrong place and got in trouble simply because you was in the wrong place if you know the thing about the text uh if you know it over in second samuel um david was supposed to be leading his army at war his army was at war but he sent another general to lead the war and while while the other general is leading the war that's how he ends up on the balcony looking over at bathsheba had he been leading his army he never would have seen bathsheba help me somebody some of y'all need to just get you're in the wrong place it has to be created in you some of y'all think you already have it some of you think you can bring it about yourself just read enough scripture okay just say enough hallelujahs just fast and pray no no no god has to create in you a clean heart and then he says once your heart gets clean he says then i need you to renew the the key word there the operative word is a right spirit because everybody got a spirit in them come on turn to somebody say yeah you got a spirit everybody got a spirit in them but creating me i need a somebody say right spirit anybody know when you sometimes when you walk in the job your spirit ain't right you gotta you gotta backtrack and say get my spirit right sometimes when you wake up in the morning and your spouse is right there ain't nothing wrong in the house but the problem is you and and because something is wrong with you you need to say glory i need the i need a right spirit as we move forward in life in the fellows of mississippi baptist church as we we are contemplating a new pastor we will be voting in the next five months we will be voting lord create within me a clean heart and renew a did i say the old spirit i said a right spirit did i say your own spirit are you y'all know your spirit i didn't say that spirit i said create the right sp we need the right spirit if this situation is going to get better we need the right spirit amen lord create within me a clean heart and renew a right spirit my final answer today on this prayer is lord begin with me we used to sing a song let there be peace on earth but let it begin with me lord i acknowledge my transgressions so create within me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me in jesus name amen lord god thank you we want to go forth [Music] in this day and the days ahead knowing that we all have sinned and fallen short but also asking o god that you create within us a clean heart and renew a right spirit within all of us thank you god [Music] lord there could be somebody today simply because they're heart got cleaned up and their spirit got renewed they have accepted you as their personal savior we thank you for that and we pray that that at the right time they will find a church where they can work out their soul salvation so touch right now guide right now we thank you for what you're doing and what you're going to do in jesus name we pray let the church say amen [Music] we asked that you would continue to lift up the name of jesus in these trying times as we go forth in the days ahead lifts up our church god is continuing to bless us over and over again but the devil is busy and we just want god to continue to be with us

about bringing you back as much as i want to see you as much as i want to be with you as much as i miss you i want to bring you back when we all can feel safe i do not feel we probably will be back together until probably around thanksgiving we're going to pray about that we will stay in conversation with you but i need to say that to you today let's keep doing what we're doing now allowing god
