debt of gratitude as we are able to share the sacred sacrament of communion we're mindful that this is the last communion of this decade to that end I want to pause right here I want all of us collectively would you please extend to God a sound of Thanksgiving for the last 10 years [Applause] come on I say give God glorified who's opportune over the last 10 years of your life [Music] [Applause] literally we can say millions didn't make it but we're one of the ones that did thinking about the family members who were alive 10 years ago but are not here on top of the ground 10 years later thinking about all of the trials all of the attacks all of the sicknesses all of the enemies all of the circumstances and I want you to know if you can hear my voice you survived it all y'all didn't hear what I just said if you can hear my voice you survived it all and while we were yet sinners he died for us I want us to be mindful that the sacred text tells us that if you confess your sins he's faithful and he's just to cleanse us of all unrighteousness so many times we shout we celebrate but very rarely does the modern-day Church call us back into repentance can you take one moment with whatever hand you have free would you lift that up to heaven would you just cry out under God before a lamentation of repentance if every word that I say in every place that I win everything that I participated in that it was not reflective of the holiness of our God today I repent he who knew no sin took on the sins of the entire world knowing that we should have been dead but the gift of God is eternal life I would that you would join me in being mindful that Jesus come and did the disciples into a room he pulled out a loaf of bread and we pulled out that loaf of bread he broke it in front of them said this is my body that is broken for you how much you get that way for in your hand I want you to lift it above your head and right in your hand I want you to break it the last ten years the enemy's been trying to break you and trying to make you crumble trying to make you fall apart trying to make you lose it but it is the love of God that has kept you together because of that would you please take a knee Jesus then pulled out a flask of wine he lifted it up in front of the 12 disciples and said to them this is my blood it shared it for you I want you to know no matter what it is that you're going through the blood is enough it reaches to the highest mountain it flows to the lowest Valley there is a something that psychologists call sad which is seasonal affective disorder between Thanksgiving and New Year's so many people contend with depression deal with anxiety entertain thoughts of suicide slip into controlled substances but I want you to know in the month of December the only thing you need to take the edge off is in your hand right now because what can wipe away my sin what can make me whole again nothing but the blood of Jesus for the blood of Jesus that was shared for sinners like me and you would you please take and drink the disciples said to him master how art we pray because there's some days that I don't feel so good some days I don't have my energy don't have my strength they said master teach us to pray and in that moment he taught them the Lord's Prayer together new birth let's pray it our Father amen would you hug three people and tell them things are gonna get better for you [Music] it better [Applause] [Music] look at your neighbor telephone again if you're watching you oughta give this in your spirit wherever you

be the best of your life hallelujah some members of friends are gaining entrance into the sanctuary today is a World AIDS Day it is World AIDS Day it is my contention that the body of Christ called church has been woefully silent while so many people have been impacted so many families and in this hour while it is that Atlanta finds itself I in a dangerous place the Bible for wonders that our people die from a lack of knowledge new birth stands on the front line to fight against HIV and AIDS in our community somebody give God a hand clap of praise would you I want you to give your attention to the screen for just one moment I want to share a small presentation with you that I believe warrants your attention I was diagnosed with HIV in 1991 December 1991 here in Houston Texas at the University of Houston I was a college student and I had received a phone call from a girlfriend of mine and she starts off the call like we all do and girlfriend land we say girl and she told me that she had heard a guy I dated was HIV positive and so right after that I of course once I kind of figured out what it was and what it meant I went to the University I got tested and learned my status man Candace was born in 1985 1995 so five years I got married and she was she came along and you know HIV negative you know we tested her at birth and I did the whole perinatal plan where I took some medication while she was inside and she's spoiled but great and healthy I'm such a you know talking person I've you know communication I love it I just kind of stole HIV from it by telling everybody but I I really do have to be everything that I am and HIV is just a part of who I am I'm a mother on different things and so you know I just I I put it in my hand instead of being in it I would tell my friend in there are not alone in this situation boys have safe sex and to always talk to their parents of the needle the most important message I think I would like to pass on to the younger generation is to actually talk and share information if you can talk to your parents great I'm grateful that she tells me all the things that she has going on in her life I'm grateful that she shares it with me and so we can have full and engaging conversations my mother has HIV but that is not define who she is positive and negative black/white Asian and Hispanic rich and poor young and old we can stop HIV by working together in supporting one another last stop HIV together get the facts detective come on give God a hand clap of praise would you I want to introduce a one of our members Kim moon to just extend the greetings on this world world to AIDS Day and to introduce our guests good morning do the head thank you so as he said my name is Kim moon and I am a HIV advocate education consultant activist and all of those good things I was diagnosed with HIV a very long time ago very very long I was raped in 2001 and from that I am HIV positive now I tell you that that I was raped but I can't dismiss the fact that I have three kids so that says I've had sex at least four times I'm protective right right yeah now I'm not I'm not making light of the rape but I had to tell you that I have four kids because it could have happened that way and I just encourage any of you all of you that if you're having sex to get tested because guess what HIV is 100% preventable if you have conversations if you get tested and if you use protection and if you're diagnosed with HIV take your medication because what I want you to know is this all those years I've never been sick not because of HIV not because of HIV yeah depressed about it for a long time and then the words of pastor Bryant encouraged me and helped me to move forward see HIV was supposed to be my stumbling block but God made it my stepping-stone thank you so right now I want to introduce to you chairman Pitts I work closely with him I am the metropolitan Atlanta HIV Health Services Planning Council Vice Chair and we work closely together we get I think roughly over 20 million dollars to serve the 20 County EMA DeKalb County included we're trying to help people with services with HIV to you know help

the assistance and strong support of our religious leaders worldwide we will succeed the black church has always been at the forefront of social change and must do so once again and I have no doubt with the continued leadership of your pastor we will succeed and that is specifically why I have asked our local religious leaders to deliver a message today on World AIDS Day in whole or in part and encourage their congregants to do just three simple things number one get informed number two get tested and number three get treated it's my pleasure to announce today that my office in partnership

them I like my church look back at him and say I love my church John chapter 6 amen John chapter 6 verses 5 through 11 would you read silently as I read aloud when Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him he said to Philip where shall we buy bread for these people to eat he asked this only to test him for he already had in mind what he was going to do Philip answered him it would take more than a half years wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite another of his disciples Andrew simon Peters brother spoke up he is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish but how far will it go amongst so many jesus said have the people sit down there was plenty of grass in that place and they sat down Jesus then took the loaves gave thanks and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted he did the same with the fish look back at verse number 9 he is a boy with five loaves of bread and two fish but how far is it gone go when there's so many you may be seated I wanna preach a little while this morning using as a subject I'm not gonna let you take advantage of me I'm gonna let you take advantage of me but you look at the person beside you look I'm square and I come on square up with them let them know like you mean it come on look at him and tell them the pastor told me to tell you I'm not gonna let you take advantage of me I'm not gonna let you take advantage of me there's a woman I met in the 8th grade who is lied to more people and anybody in history her beauty is undeniable and her stature is breathtaking she said her picture taken more than any supermodel including Naomi Campbell or Iman she's in such demand that she's never hit the runway but she commands crowds to come see her in fact between 1892 to 1954 12 million entered this nation by way of her shadow looming over Ellis Island beneath her feet is a tattooed inscription that reads give me your tired your poor your huddled masses yearning to breathe free the wretched refuse of your teeming Shores a new birth so many believed her statement to be true that they poured in by the scores from Poland Sicily Ireland and Germany regrettably her back is turned away from those who were dragged in on slave ships or crawled in from south of the border God knows coming from the Middle Passage we were tired having our identity names and culture stolen we were poor and with shackles on our feet and around our necks we yearn to breathe free our Hispanic comrades in contemporary times share our frustration with their children being stuck in cages for the crime of warning dignity and being found guilty of thinking that this is a place of actual democracy The Lying lady known as the Statue of Liberty only pretends to wear a blindfold because even Stevie Wonder can see that the treatment of immigrants illiterates indigents and the ill are inhumane oh say can you see that some things in this society aren't right Charles Darwin's survival of the fittest has come to life the world in which we live seems to prey on those who are weak weak finances weak education weak bodies and weak spirits and I would gather that after you have had some weak moments you come to what Malcolm Gladwell calls the tipping point will you just get sick of being taken advantage of Elizabeth Mitchell in a signature book entitled Liberty's torch the great adventure to build the Statue of Liberty exposes the fact that Ulysses Grant authorized the original intention of the Statue of Liberty to be a lighthouse which Ulysses perceived would give the imposing figure justifiable government funding unfortunately the engineers have been unsuccessful in being able to lighted hear me and hear me will the Statue of Liberty was originally intended to be a lighthouse and even up to this day they haven't been able to make it work so it looks good but it does not serve its purpose so now it just stands not living out the reason it was created Matthew 5 and 14 reminds us we are the light of the world a town built on a hill can't be here let your light so shine that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven and I am afraid that I have to report to you today that the body of Christ in the 21st century Church could be charged with treason against the kingdom because the church is now acting like the Statue of Liberty the church acts like the Statue of Liberty because in far too many of our churches our churches seem to be blindfolded to the AIDS epidemic that is taking place in our community and in our city in case you don't know African Americans are thirteen percent of the u.s. population but we're 43 percent of new HIV diagnosis and yet in churches around Atlanta and around America today they are saying nothing data from downtown Atlanta is parallel to Harare Zimbabwe and such an extent that Atlanta from a health perspective could be greeted as a third-world country in fact Atlanta is second in the nation for HIV cases Grady Hospital Grady Hospital has three new cases a day highest risk ZIP codes in this city a three oh three oh two three oh three oh three three oh three oh three oh three oh nine and three oh three ten which is by enlarge black community's gay and bisexual black men a 66% of those who have in fact contracted HIV and AIDS heterosexual men is seven percent and the fastest-growing demographic of those who are contracting HIV and AIDS is african-american women and yet the church says nothing we don't promote testing we don't offer care or counseling and we don't assist with housing which makes the world second guess who is this god you are shouting to because if you believe that God can heal people from cancer from leukemia from heart failure why do you not believe that God can heal somebody of HIV and AIDS what is the church prepared to do for the 19 year old who gets put out of their house because their family doesn't know how to offer comfort and is operating out of a function of homophobia that they learned at church what do we do for the 53 year old woman whose insurance won't assist but we become so highfalutin that we don't want a hug don't want to embrace because we believe somehow or another we're better than somebody else how will we silent when it is that we allow brothers on the down-low to operate in reckless abandonment with no call to accountability while it is that our daughters and our mothers are being impacted and infected and yet we say nothing Jesus said how you treat the least of these is what it is that you have done to me one out of seven or carrying HIV and AIDS one out of seven don't even know that they have it and yet we say nothing about being tested we say nothing about treatment I want you to lift up your hands right where it is that you are because I want you to know how my faith functions how my faith operates and how my faith goes into praxis one out of seven people in our community as a consequence one out of seven in this room don't know they have it right now I serve a God who can heal you before you ever get diagnosed I know some of you don't have that kind of faith but I need those of you who come into agreement with me that God is a healer would you open up your mouth and give God glory for healing that can happen in our community that can happen in our city and all the more I want you to give God glory for the healing that is going to happen in your family this is the hour that the body of Christ called church declares war on HIV and AIDS in Atlanta we are not gonna roll over and play dead and if no other church is gonna address it new birth is gonna be found on the front line because we understand he gives power to the faint and to those who have no might he increases that their strength those of you who believe it that God 2019 years later is still a healer would you give God glory for it now if you believe that by 2030 God is gonna change the data in this city would you open up your mouth and give God glory now if you believe that the body of Christ has a responsibility to love to educate to inform and to care for those who have been impacted will you give God glory for it right now the church the church isn't supposed to be an amusement park for the affluent but it's supposed to be a service center for the disadvantaged I got to tell you right now we got to get over our self-righteous stigmatization because some of you have full-blown ignorance and you believe that it could not happen to you I want you to know that the church owes our community a debt of repentance because if you can take my tithe but won't take time for my testimony something is out of order and woe under you hypocritical self-righteous arrogant Saints who feel like that you don't have enough christ-like love for the lbgtq community when the reality is all of us have somebody in our family y'all ain't saying nothin to me if you ain't wrestling it with it yourself woe unto you cuz I need you to know you got to get out of the eighties mentality that hiv/aids is not a white male gay disease but it can still impact goals of us a heterosexual and uncovered and unprotected but I thank God for the blood of Christ that is available for everybody here nobody in here while we were yet sinners he died for us some of y'all are sitting there with your arms folded legs crossed lips twisted eyes rolled that's cuz you ain't never slept with nobody but anybody here that can remember I did some stuff but it was the grace of God that covered and protected me you are a thank God there are instances by which HIV can go in your body seven years undetected and you sitting here like you always been saved like you ain't never had a one-night stand like you ain't never been in a hotel by the airport Amen lights but 50 of y'all ought to be thanking God that even when I didn't make the best decisions when I didn't make right choices God still fought for me I say a word to those of you who are in the room who've been diagnosed with HIV and AIDS I need you to know that you ought to live with no shame you ought to live with no embarrassment I can't hear anybody because HIV and AIDS is no longer a death sentence the reality is it is now a socio-economic condition and our people are dying because they are underinsured or have no insurance but we're thankful under God that God does something peculiar because there's something about table which you need to know the thing I found out about tables is tables will turn because the first will be last and the last shall be first on the church for being silent while Atlanta finds itself as the epicenter of this crisis and we doing all this speaking in tongues but won't speak to the issue yeah y'all y'all ain't saying nothing I know you saved but just because you say don't mean you ain't been sexual I need some real people in here I know you love God but it don't mean that some nights you don't have a weak moment I need some real people that can digest that I love God but I still need a fall ready over my flesh we've been taking advantage of the situation because we don't speak to it until it impacts us or until it impacts our children you ever been in a restaurant you sitting in the restaurant mind your business you realize everybody around you is getting served you see in a way to come out with trays full of food are you looking and getting excited and they won't right past you are you thinking when are they gonna come see about me and you screaming to yourself and the people at your table are trying to keep you calm until you just can't take it no more and you gotta just blurt out what do I have to do to get some help around here you don't even understand that that level of frustration and that sentiment is that which is shared by those who have survived HIV and AIDS they sitting in our churches and they watching us preach about overflow preach about entrepreneurship preach about blessings but we won't preach about this disease that is impacting our community and they waving their hands are asking the church asking the body of Christ ask an uber what do I have to do to get some service around here they expect us to do something and we keep walking right past them I'm not gonna love you cuz you don't dress like me I'm not gonna love you because of where you got piercings on your body I'm not gonna love you could you walk differently than me and God is saying who made you to judge we are called in the earth to be a witness and not to be in the jury and God is sick of these self-righteous church people who feel like they can put people in hell then cast people into heaven you barely getting in by the hair of your chinny-chin-chin you ought to thank God for grace get to a place you feel like you've been taking advantage of taking advantage of you I never felt like that whether you got HIV AIDS or not you never felt like you were being taken advantage of well I ain't talking to your neighbor I'm talking to you have you ever felt like I mean they were using you too they could use you up and you begin if you're not careful you begin to internalize it you're gonna internalize it could you you're so used to being taken advantage of that you begin apologizing for stuff you didn't do getting taken advantage of and they begin to plant seeds into your subconscious to convince you you not good enough been so taken advantage of that they expect you to say yes and when you say no or I think about it they get offended taking advantage of you doing everybody else's work and then they want to grade you on the curve and got the nerve to call you lazy when you do on your part in their pot taking advantage of people treat you like a doormat they're coming in and out and only call you when they need something but never check on you to see how it is that you doing huh I need some real people right through here taken advantage of you counting my money as if I work for both of us you you are grown and able-bodied I can't hear nobody just cuz I have it don't mean you got access to it I'm tired of being taken advantage of being taken advantage of by people who know I got a relationship with God and because they know I'm a Christian they think I'm a pushover and I'm just gonna roll over and play dead and then when I check them they back up and act shocked and surprised and and say I thought you were saying tell them yeah I'm saved I'm not Timothy I'm Peter I'm a different kind of saved but I still got gone get to that place you just get tired of being taken advantage of tired of not being counted made to treat feel like you too outside child like your opinion has no merit like your sacrifice has no do that what it is that you had to contribute really has no significance and what's crazy is that many times they don't acknowledge it until you stop doing it don't make me threaten to leave before you love me right value me while I'm still here I can't hear nobody in here that you got to get to the place where I just get tired being taken advantage of John chapter 6 Jesus isn't coming across the Atlantic Ocean he's just coming across the Sea of Galilee when he comes across the Sea of Galilee he goes up into a mountain and he sees a crowd converging on him because they had seen him healed to see and because they had seen him heal the sick they keep crowding up on them because they know what he can do they've seen them doing I want you to know that I'm here today and I'm crowding around the altar cuz I've seen God healed before and I keep crowding on them because I want to see them do it again I'm believing that some of you are standing here and you'd look at Calvary because Calvary for you is your real Statue of Liberty he has seen me when I was tired he saw me when I was born and he saw me when I was saying and a great thing about God is he healed me even when I didn't have insurance He healed me when I didn't even know what was happening in my body he He healed me when I didn't have strength to get out the bed y'all ain't saying nothing he he healed me when I sat on the bier trying to gather my strength and get myself together he he healed me when I didn't even want to tell my family what was going on with me he he healed me when I got scared to even go to the doctor God said I'm gonna heal you and some of you are to be giving God glory why pastor because God said before this year is over whatever is out of order in your body is going to be strengthened whatever is not functioning and His divine assignment is going to line up with my intention for your life I speak healing over every person in this room that's got sickness disease discomfort and illness in your body if you don't believe that don't worship with us but if you believe that God is a healer I don't want you to wait for you to happen but I want you to anticipate it in advance that God is a give a mossad healing people i'ma start healing people in your family start healing people that you care about I feel this glow over coming now hallelujah I'm trying not to cry feel healing in this room hallelujah thank you holy God huh I said I feel healing in this room somebody don't even know that the surgery is about to be canceled cuz healing is in this room I don't know where you are because it watch me start to wean you off medication because healing is in this room watch me stop the hair your pain that's been in your body watch me disrupt every blockage that is in your bloodstream and shrink up every time and every tumor because healing is industry they saw converging on him they saw converging on because they know he's the healer and Jesus says I understand that we've got to be holistic in our approach and so not only do I have to heal them I got to feed them I got to do something that will minister to their physical body not just their spiritual realm and the disciples said master to feed all these people it's going to take six months worth of my paycheck I'll just missed it so for what I'm trying to give I'd have to save up six months to get it and the Bible gives us an insertion in the New International Version that God really didn't mean it it was just a test he wanted to see whether they would start counting money or start counting on favor says for somebody who's in this room brace yourself because what I'm getting ready to do for you you don't have the money for what I'm getting ready to open up for you they told you you would take years for you to get back on your feet but you don't even understand what would have taken you six months worth of paychecks I can get it done in one day I can't hear nobody in here I said six months worth four paychecks you don't get a deposit that is equal to it in just one day I just wanted to see do you have the faith says I'm getting ready to do it because I saw where your heart was your heart wasn't on I need this money to buy some information he said I knew that you were making sacrifices to take care of somebody else and I'm getting ready to do something to bless both of you I'm talking to somebody in this room who your greatest liability as you love too easy you forgive too quick I can't hear nobody you give folk your lasts and they'll keep taking from you and they got no idea I don't even feel a certain kind of way just the way I'm built I love to give back I hate to see people struggling it bothers me to see folks with a disadvantage and God said I watched you watch you because of the way you love the way you give you only realize you being taken advantage of you don't even realize they don't value you they don't really love you they're not really interested in you they just want what you got to offer and they'll just keep taking it until you stop supplying it and then when you stop supplying it they really relationship another disciple shows up shows up and says I found this boy with two fish five loaves of bread I got to show you something you know this text you know the scripture you read it your whole life and it amazing that the Bible says they took the little boy's lunch I got a park right here they didn't ask him for it they didn't negotiate they didn't make a deal they took it from them and the only way they could took take it from him watch this is cuz he was a child if it was a grown man they would have never taken it there are people who will take from you but they'll only take from you during your weak moment they'll only take from you when you don't have your full strength that's why you can't make decisions while you're vulnerable you gotta wait until you get your strength before you decide what you gettin ready to give the Bible says when I was a child I spake as a child I understood as a child but when I became an adult I put away childish things I'm only preaching to 500 of you you ought to let your enemies know whatever you got from me keep it but in this season of my life I put my foot down I am NOT gonna let people take an advantage of me I got too much time and so much to give they took the two fish five loaves of bread from him this is how bad they use them is even in Sacred Scripture they never even give the boy's name he's never given the appropriate credit for the sacrifice he made i wanna go a step further and it's gonna upset some of you he was taken advantage of by church people god help me and here the person that took his lunch this one somebody in the street it wasn't somebody who once saved this was somebody who walked with God and still they took his stuff I'm speaking healing for 300 of you that will hurt my church people who miss hande don't you and didn't understand that the call of God on my life does not require a title or position you gotta treat me like a child of God your greatest wound your greatest wound didn't come from a stranger your greatest impact didn't come from somebody you didn't know it came from somebody you were familiar with who felt entitled to take your stuff they thought they could take your dignity take your self-esteem take your self-worth take yourself respect and take your joy how about I came to tell that no-good lying devil this joy that I had the world didn't give it and the Wow Jesus took the bread he took the bread that twelve grown men couldn't get twelve men who were saved couldn't get on their own Jesus took that bread he lifted it up he broke it and he said thanks I want to say this word I don't know who this is for I don't know whether you're lying I don't know if you're in this room I'm know if you visiting family for the weekend but God told me to tell you thank you for helping people who didn't deserve it [Applause] thank you for representing me and dark places yeah they thought they got away with it but you knew they were using you but you're blessed away thank you he came across the Sea of Galilee I'm almost finished came across the Sea of Galilee and some significant happen those of you who are standing you gonna help me preach those of you were sitting we preach them for you those of y'all staying to stay with me don't nobody pop up and jump with us just stay with me those are y'all standing up this word is for you it's now for the people sitting I'm talking adults y'all standing don't let nobody standing up which you sit him

a Galilee goes in the desert those of you who are standing you are who I'm talking to listen to me be seated right where you are those of you who were standing just those of you who were standing be seated right where you are be seated it ain't a test I'm preacher can I show you something Jesus crossing to cross the Red Sea walks into the desert said how am I gonna feed all these people where stuff ain't growing hallelujah those of you who were standing I need you to stand again don't try to jump in on our ship now when he crosses into the Red Sea what's this he walks into the desert and he tells the people tells the disciples tell them sit down those of y'all who are standing be seated right where you are some crazy has given me a habit Jesus walked across the Red Sea goes into the mountain when he goes into the mountain he's in the desert and he tells the people what's this be seated those y'all who were standing staying for the last time he says I want them to be seated that's what Jesus said don't do it yet says I want him to be seated and then when Jesus says it they in the desert he said tell the people be seated now for the last time be seated and the Bible says read it when you get home when they sat down they sat well in the grass when they got there it was a desert but because they were obedient to what God spoke over their life everything around them begin to shift I came to make an announcement to 500 streamers I gotta get out of here but I need you to pull on their neighbors [Applause] yes change [Applause] you don't hear what I just said it's time Kevin
