the bishop and this is our custom to receive the bishop introduction as in standing so there are so many things I could say about Bishop I'm gonna cut it short because I want to hear him preach and

our historic Bethel AME Church and Baltimore major work in the city of Baltimore that he did there his last name is Reed we are re temple his grandfather when the church I know y'all love the carpet and I know you love the big screens it was known as the church without walls every day they would walk up to annual conference people want to vote the church down they don't have any walls but there was his grandfather Bishop Frank Reed who said no I believe God's hand is on these people and because of that the name changed from dead Chapel to read temple AME he's training of head and heart I believe he's a double Ivy Leaguer Yale and Harvard what can you do with that but I'm glad that he's trained in the Lord that's what I'm so grateful about an avid reader whatever Bishop read is reading

send you Pastor and Lady Washington away on vacation they work hard and a lot of pastors have nervous breakdowns or slip into sin because they believe that they cannot afford to be away and their people are codependent on them instead of being dependent on Christ and so you have added life to your pastor and God has gone to do great things for your church one year ago today the good doctor

Stephanie and a friend Minetta is it monado Mineta i'm just glad to see ladi Dadi and everybody Psalm 110 the Lord said to my lord sit at my right hand until I make your enemies till I make your enemies your footstool the Lord shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion rule in the midst of your enemies think these words after me the Lord said to my lord sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool turn around take your neighbors hand show them all your teeth or your false teeth all the teeth you wish you have you had and say neighbor or neighbor step up turn on the other side to say neighbor or neighbor step up for the next 16 minutes and 30 seconds I want to focus your attention on the top thought it's time to step up it's time to step up black music is one of the most creative and powerful cultural forces in American history the power of black music in the last half of the 20th century changed the face of America names like Minnie Riperton Sam Cooke Stevie Wonder Aretha Franklin Luther Vandross Mary Wells Teddy Pendergrass and Chuck Brown were just a few of the great artists that shaped black music in the last half of the of the 20th century in jazz it was folk like Charlie Parker Miles Davis John Coltrane Pharoah Sanders just to name a few and young'ns there would be no a hip-hop without the music contribution of these men and women but it was really the style and flair of the groups that fueled the Motown and Philly sound of latter years the temptations The Supremes Smokey Robinson and the miracles the Marvelettes the hojae's Martha Reeves and the Vandellas and Kurtis may feel and the impressions and if I had time I would talk to you about how all of these singers came out of the church Martha Reeves sang in the choir at Bethel AME Church in Detroit troit David Ruffin the lead singer for the temptations sang in the Church of God in Christ Aretha Franklin sang in her father's Church and choir one of the great preachers of all times was her father these men and women took great spiritual music and turned it into love music healing music liberation music message music music for the struggle a Curtis Mayfield who was dead now and you don't hear his songs often but Curtis may feel when he was with the impressions wrote two songs that have been characterized as the national anthem of the civil rights movement in 1964 they wrote a song entitled keep on pushing hey Lord Jesus and one of the lines went like this keep on pushing I can't stop now move on up a little higher some way and somehow and then in 1967 he wrote another song you can go on your Google and you can check it out they grow we're a winner and never let anybody say we can't make it because the peoples might is in your way no more tears do we cry and we have finally dried our eyes and we're moving on up lord have mercy we're moving on up in 1970 doctor writes you will remember the Curtis Mayfield came out with his single album and one of the best songs on there one of the best-selling songs on there was entitled movin on up and in case you didn't get it yet in all these songs 1964 keep on pushing 1967 will winner and then movin on up there's this one line that appears over and over again movin on hallelujah and the purpose of this message today is to help you move on up to a greater day in your life turn to your neighbor and tell them I'm about to move on up I don't have time it's it's 10:21 and I don't have time to take you back to the Jeffersons but y'all do remember we're movin on that just touch somebody tell them we're moving on now but the question that faces us is if you're gonna move on the issue is if you're gonna move on up you got to step up turn your neighbors say if you're gonna move up you got to step up but the question is how do you step up some of us think you step up on education it's important but it's enough it won't hold you some of us think that we can step up on money and financial status it's good but it's not gonna hold you God has a way for you to step up and it is found here in the 110 Sami it goes like this the Lord said to my lord David got to overhear a conversation between the Holy Spirit and God between Jesus and God excuse me and David recalls it in other words when you get ready to step up you got to spend some time in prayer touch your neighbor and say you better step up and spend some time in prayer because God will reveal to you more in prayer then you can do with all of your own exercise and energy touch your neighbor and tell them it's time to step up David said the Lord said to my lord sit touch your neighbor and say sometimes you just got to sit in the presence of God Oh bless His name when is the last time you just sat in the presence of God because when you sit in the presence of God God will speak to you and David records what he heard it the conversation sitting at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool till I make your enemies your footstool now today I want to recommend to all of you a book written by one of the great pastors of our country Ron carpenter jr. entitled the necessity of an enemy how the battle you face is your best opportunity lord have mercy who are your enemies an enemy is any circumstance he says any person any deep-seated any crippling character flaw really anything the devil can dream that threatens the completion of God's purpose for your life and what David realizes here is that when God sends you an enemy in your life he is sending God is sending you an opportunity to step up and so instead of running from your enemy you need to walk up to your enemy and you need to make your enemy your footstool can I get a witness and so I want to ask you today what is your what is your habit what is your what is the enemy that God has sent you away David had Goliath lord have mercy then your head Nebuchadnezzar Shadrach Meshach and Abednego had the fiery furnace Moses had Pharaoh Jesus had the cross every person that God uses and gives a great miracle got to face a great enemy lord have mercy and I know we got your apple and your sony and you've got all the technology and we don't have a footstool anymore well let me make it plain to you the purpose of a footstool was to give you something to step up on lord have mercy and so when you needed to reach a little higher you would step up on the footstool what I'm trying to tell you is that your enemy is your so every time your enemy comes you shouldn't run from it you should thank God for your enemy because the word says in this messianic Psalm that the Lord will make your enemies your foot stupid can I get a witness now I've only got four minutes left so I gotta bring this thing home how how how how do you step on up number one you got to step up in the battle when it when your enemy comes you got a face show enemy touch your neighbor and say you gotta face the enemy in other words James Baldwin says you gotta face it to fix it nobody can fight your battles for you your pastor can't fight your battles for you Jesse Jackson can't fight your battles for you black lives matter cannot your battles for you but when you step up to the battle God will make your enemy your footstool can I get a witness touch three people and tell them I'm on the battlefield for my Lord and when you step up to the battle then you'll step in not to your breakthrough look at your neighbor say I'm stepping into my breakthrough when you fight in that battle you're not fighting in your own strength don't you know what it says in second chronicles the battle is not yours it's the Lord the Lord said I will make your enemies your footstool rule in the midst of your enemies touching even see I'm about to step into my breakthrough turn on the other side and tell them step I'm about to step into my breakthrough stay about ten people in here they need to say I'm gonna put a praise on it right now I'm trying to listen and get all the word but I just need to put a praise on stepping into my battle and stepping into my breakthrough just give your neighbor praise five and tell them step into your breakthrough say yes but wait a minute you got a step in - you battle and the Lord will make your enemy your footstool you got to step up into your breakthrough and he'll make your enemy your footstool but finally you got to step into your blessing stop waiting for somebody to lay hands on you and give you a blessing the Lord is blessing me right now he woke me up this morning he's blessing me right now I got four eyes to see he's blessing me right now I got clothes on my body he's blessing me right now I got a car waiting for me outside he's blessing me right now I got shoes on my feet he's blessing me right now whatever is going on in Washington whatever is going on in the world the Lord is blessing me right now Mahalia Jackson put it this way she said I'm moving up a little high lord have mercy but one of the great hymns of the church put it this way Lord plant my feet on higher ground and so it's time for us to go higher somebody say higher and so when they tell you you sick look at the enemy of sickness insane that enemy is my footstool God cancer in your body that enemy is your footstool got financial difficulty that enemy is your footstool step on up because Jesus will show you that he stepped up on the cross they crucified hallelujah they hung him high and dry he hung his head and died but early Sunday morning he got with all power my time is up let's stand all over the church step up step up step up step up hey God have mercy Jesus Dick Gregory is loved because he stepped up Martin was loved he could have become a middle class preacher he had all of the academic honors he could have taught in colleges and universities during the week and preached on Sunday but he stepped up down in Mississippi there was a woman who could barely read or write but she turned the Mississippi Democratic Party upside down because she decided to step up if you look back at black history we have been able to achieve great things because we had great enemies we would never have a March unless we first had prayer meeting they don't tell you about the students in Tougaloo college Toluca Tougaloo University who went to the Jackson library to check out a book nine of them finally dressed college students but they wouldn't let them check out a book asked him to leave the library because it was for whites only then went to jail stood up but yesterday they had to unveil a memorial in front of that library the cause they stood up if you want to stand out it's not to clothes you wear it's not the jewelry you wear it's not how much bling bling you have you will stand out when you stand up for Jesus and so in the time that is left I want to invite you to stand up and stand out I used to say no I don't want to join the church on a Sunday why can't I do it privately because Jesus wants to bless you publicly and privately but it starts with you standing up standing out and becoming a member of the body of Christ called church and so I want to ask you to help me there people you could be in church and not be saved and then you can be saved but it's the end thing now to be out of church I when I get a district if I get a district next time Derek I'm going to preach in the roughest areas have a tent revival do something I got from from we temple I'm gonna take a tent revival of the district to the roughest areas and I'm gonna we're gonna feed the people evangelize the neighborhood and then the members that come in to people to get saved we're gonna send them to AME churches what are you saying pastor I'm saying we can't take for granted that everybody in church is in Christ and so I can do this in two minutes and get out two minutes ahead of time I need you to go to three people you don't know or go to somebody you know is unchurched on saved here today and ask them will you let me walk with you will you step up step out so you can stand out for Jesus go on to your three men please go to men women go to women and then if they're not saved what did I say men
