right because of the nature of the series I really really really do need to do line upon line precept upon precept if I holler or scream forgive me in advance I just love the Word of God okay you're in a brand-new series entitled losing my religion and this morning we substantiated that the worst consequence of having a religious spirit is that it obscures the knowledge of God that's the aim it is unfortunate that very many people come to church to find him and then when he runs into y'all people don't want him no more that the whole objective of our faith is to live in constant pursuit of God say yes the knowledge of God okay now if you are easily offended this is probably where you should leave I do have some people on my staff that respond to inquiry and FA cues and all of that but it will not be me so what I teach now is probably going to offend you but be diligent in your own studies of the scripture don't just take what I say go and study yourselves is that a deal okay how many of you have a note-taking device please weigh them at me I would love to say that that's dough that's still all right I love that whoever say androi father I come against the powers one of the things God has anointed me to do is to birth birth thousands of ministries what I'm after and I'm talking about in people when I'm after this month is a teaching anointing I'm after the teaching anointing I believe that that's the only way we're gonna turn around from some of our crises as people have got to teach the mystery of God having said that join me at revelation the nineteenth chapter Revelation chapter 19 I'd like to begin at verse 11 I'd also like you to read this in the amplified version just for fuller meaning revelations chapter 19 verse 11 and I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse he who was riding on it is called faithful and true the amplified says trustworthy loyal incorruptible here's my favorite one John John and he's a steady guy and sorry righteous in righteousness he judges and wages war on rebellious Nations his eyes are a flame of fire on his head are many not one many royal crowns and he has a name inscribed on him which no one knows or understands except himself he is dressed not will be he is dressed in a robe and it ain't white it's been dipped in blood and his name is called the Word of God and the armies of heaven dressed in fine linen dazzling white clean they followed him on white horses from his mouth who is his the Word of God from his mouth comes a sharp swore which is the word of the word of God with which he may strike down the nation's the word judges the nation's and he will rule them with a rod of iron and he will tread the winepress of the fierce wrath of God the Almighty in judgment and the rebellious world we closing here and on I love your name his robe and on his thigh his name was inscribed the King of Kings I could run and the Lord of lords father you wrote this so you know this better than me help me to preach it we're tiling this for 41 minutes the battle for the Bible the battle for the Bible we're going to do some comparative analysis again but I've got to explain to you why this is important before I go to you to the book of Revelation say revelation now set again revelation ah I want to hear the end say revelation now that's my first preaching point Pastor David because y'all were taught it was the Book of Revelations but there is only one revelation in the book of Revelation it is not the Book of Revelations because it only has one now get back then later in order to understand why I'm using this text to talk about the raging war for the Bible is Genesis 1:1 and John 1 3 and 14 don't go there I'll explain it in Genesis 1 there is this phrase that we only see occasionally in the Bible pay attention it'll bless you in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth okay in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth if we move that to John's Gospel in the first chapter the Bible says in the what beginnings so now we have two things that happened in the beginning now unless there were two beginnings then all of this has to do with a beginning in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth that's Genesis in John 1 it says in the beginning was the word and the Word was with God and the Word was God the same was in the beginning with God listen all things this is John 1:3 were made by him now that him is the word and without him was not anything made that was made if you move all the way down to verse 14 and the Word was made flesh look at me class I'm sorry the word did not unbecoming once it became flesh it's stayed flesh so the word did not leave flesh to become paper it stay flesh listen the word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory as the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth while I'm giving you some history in advance so that you don't eat my time pull up 2nd Timothy the 3rd chapter now let me give you some information about why this is important the Bible as we know it was canonized I want you to write the phrase canonized down to be canonized means to be closed means to be final or means to be concluded that happened in about 1604 pay attention by a lustful man a drop man a a man who historians say was full of Filth and perversion by the name of James he was a king in England and God as I believe it I'll prove why inconsistency what how he chooses everybody he chooses grabs a whole of a dirty man who was capacitated to be king and gives that man a burden to gather the resources of the ancient writings of scriptures and to canonize them now I know factually there are more historic literary documents that claim to be biblical or Bible in nature the word Bible means the books or many books so the Bible as you know it listen to me is a book of books if you read it like it is one book you'll miss who the Bible reveals it is a 66 book conglomerate that speak to the revelation of one there's one message if you ask me I'm going to prove to you no prophecy was written except it was written by inspiration of the Holy Ghost in sundry times the Spirit of God that's gonna be important for you to remember inspired Man 2 right now there is a book called the book of wars I've read it I'm a student of it it belongs right after judges it is people's personal chronicle Diaries of how they learned God in and in battle I think it might have some valid points about God I'm not telling you to go and research the Apocrypha there is also a book called The Book of Enoch the Bible references prophecies in the Book of Enoch but I think that if God authored the Bible he also authored what got to be included in the 66 let me stay in my office a minute six is the number of Adam it means man it means man so if you got one six it means that it's Adam one Adam but if you got two sixes it means you got another Adam so I think that what the Spirit of God did was only made room for 66 of these because the point was not to reveal the first Adam the point was to reveal the second Adam so when it comes to what exists outside of them 66 books they may have some points but it ain't got the person please be seated [Applause] [Music] the Book of Revelations the Book of Revelations don't exist the book of Revelation is the conclude of the Bible and it is the conclude of the Bible Danelle with my favorite verse at the end which is amen it means that these writings are sayings are true and they are faithful I'm going to prove this to you that means that if 96 seee which means Christian era was about the time when John the Revelator listened to me cuz here we go with the offense was writing in a Roman province of the churches of seven Asia Minor what he's writing is a series of visions commendations judgments criticisms of seven churches on seven islands now the reason why John writes in numerix of sevens all throughout the book of Revelation you got seven seals seven candle stands 7l there's a reason why he's riding with sevens because sevens was the same numbers of the Exodus I'll bless you so when he's writing he's not writing in anticipation of events that are to come pay attention he uses Exodus and Daniel language and numerix so that the readers of these letters would understand it these were not numeric codes to try the time when Jesus was coming back it was simple language that they would know because they were ingrained in the law you scared already it's written to churches on Asia Minor if now one of the words I'm going to teach you is gonna be important if my biblical interpretation skill rain true you do not have to get to the middle of a dialogue to find out what it's about therefore and thereby profit Darius I should be able to read the first chapter hey Marcus and be able to tell you what the book is about the writer of Revelation which is John the beloved the one who laid on his breast therefore knew his heart wrote in Revelations one write these things I say to you will come to pass and behold I come quickly I'm not going now I'm just telling you what the Bible saying so he writes that this is about an imminent return of God the coming of the Lord as they understood it in that day so he reveals deeper in that chapter that this is a not about the end of anything but the beginning of everything in Jesus pay attention in the Book of Revelations 19 if my scriptural interpretation is truth I'm hitting that because this the question around the world is can the Bible be trusted and the answer is yes only when it's interpreted by the spirit your problem is you try to interpret the book of the Spirit without the Spirit so you may man and you make it literature and half the world is ignorant anyway so if you're reading it been trained by a fundamentally broken education system then of course trying to get you to interpret Scripture with Scripture is not going to work so the Bible can be trusted but Charles interpretation of it cannot our problem is not that we don't read and we just don't interpret it and God has called us to be interpreters second Timothy three so if Jesus is the word of God if you don't agree with that the Bible says you have a lying spirit if Jesus is the word of God then what is the Bible if our revelation of Jesus is Right in Revelation 19 it means that is what he says because the sword was in his mouth in 2nd Timothy 3 verse 1 in the amplified let's read this this is Paul's letter to Timothy you may as well know this to Timothy that in the last days do I want to I don't think I wanted to that in the last days yeah I think I will it is going to be very difficult to be a Christian just read the Bible for people will love only themselves and their money they will be proud and boastful they'll sneer at God disobedient to parents ungrateful to them and thoroughly bad they will be hard-headed and never give in to the others there will be constant liars troublemakers and will think nothing of immorality they will be rough cruel sneer at those who try to be good they will betray their friends they will be hot-headed puffed up with pride prefer good times to worse than God they'll go to church yes but they won't really believe nothing they hear don't be taken by people like that here we go they are the kind who craftily sneak into other people's homes and make friendships with silly sin burden women and teach them their new doctrines women of that kind are forever following new teachers but they never understand the truth and these teachers fight truth just as Janice and Tim Brees fought against Moses they had dirty minds warped and twisted and a turn against the Christian faith but they won't get away with this forever someday their deceit will be known to everyone as was the sin of Jenison jamberries but you from watching me that I'm not I'm not that kind of person you know what I believe and the way I live and what I want watch this you know my faith in Christ and how I've suffered you know my love for you and my patience you know how many troubles I've had as a result of me preaching the good news you know about all that was done to me while I was visiting and the Iconium Lystra but the Lord delivered me keep reading yes and those who decide to please Christ Jesus by living godly lives will suffer at the hands of those that hate him in fact evil men watch this false teachers will become worse and worse deceiving many they themselves having been deceived by Satan Satan but you must keep on believing the things you've been taught you know they're true but when you know that you can trust those of us who have taught you here we go you know how when you were a small child you were preached the Holy Scriptures you read the Holy Scriptures this says you were taught the Holy Scriptures which means that nobody really understands the word if they've only understood the preaching of the word the black church puts so much premium on preaching that we allow people to be inspired and don't know the process of salvation we got people having dreams and visions of spouses but they walk you through justification by faith it's because it's being preached but it ain't being if something needs to be taught it requires what in turn predation if you have not noticed the Bible is severely encrypted and it's like that for a reason look at your keyboard already it's because behind every single verse there is an unlimited amount of wisdom and meaning which is by the word is alive you gonna have to help me do this look at verse 16 come on Holy Ghost the whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives here we go here we go the battle for the Bible it straightens us out and helps us do what is right it is God's Way of making us well-prepared at every point fully equipped to do good to everyone look at me can I blow your mind can offend you the Bible was written for you not to you stand up if you're 2,000 years old I want to sew into you I want to bless you for you not to you I'm in such a great mood I'm gonna take you through a biblical interpretation exercise that's gonna bless you it's gonna bless you for you not to you for you not to you for you not to you I have given you two segments of scripture that mess us up now because now we're looking at the Word of God as if it is our Messiah when the real truth is if you go to the Bible looking for anything other than Jesus you are already a heretic we've got five books of the law the Torah Pentateuch 12 books of history five books of poetry or wisdom 17 books of prophecy I'm going to now give you eight rules of her me new tix y'all so bored he well carry us through to this Bible to this world the basis of our crisis is the real truth is most Christians don't believe the Bible and they don't believe it because they don't study it and what they think a study is actually meditation but it's not investigation you don't spend enough time in investigation I'm doing you a favor by teaching you how to investigate this is not investigation he said his word and healed him you tell me when the last time you put a Bible on anybody and they got healed see many of you are defeated because you're taking at face value and you don't scratch in depth I'll show it to you for example alright let's go through eight rules of hermeneutics the Bible was translated from three primary languages some suggest there may have been more it was basically Aramaic Greek and Hebrew basically some say that there were some other editions there I'm not gonna argue there but they're three languages now if there are three languages there are three cultures and three barriers which means that the bible translators have to take from three experiences three cultures and to try to develop one message let's say that person a speaks French person B speak Spanish person C speaks patois and they all want to say the same thing and you've got one scholar trying to summarize and conclude what these three languages and experiences are saying does that not need interpretation now interpretation is not addition and subtraction god I love your word hid in the book of Revelation it says it I'll read it to you adds to this or takes away from it the curses of Egypt will come upon them so biblical interpretation is actually faithful stewardship of the Word of God it does not mean adding to what it is let me prove this to you number one if you're going to understand appropriate biblical interpretation we all do homework together you ready you got to understand the word exegesis exegesis I know you just want to be saved and get you a little sugar but if you're gonna get the victory in this life you got to exegete you've got to be able and here's what that means to approach the text without intent to approach Lord is quiet today a segment of Scripture without preconceived judgment when I exegete it's critical explanation of a text against a text now exegesis is my friend say that with me exit Jesus is my friend again exegesis is my friend if exegesis is your friend properties be eisegesis is your enemy I said Jesus I really believe it's a demon it's an enemy and we love eisegesis especially you prophetic people y'all are the bomb for that y'all love symbolism and shadows and type in there's room for that but not to the point where you abduct kidnap the sentence of a letter dragging all the way around from its and did and think that the nerve to use it to abuse people eisegesis is the criminal act of yanking a sentence outside of its context of telling you a person of the story that you were not there to see or trying to make something that was applicable to Corinth applicable to Chicago I know exegesis is my friend eisegesis is my enemy I am NOT going to drag how would you feel if somebody came up to you snatched your child and took it out the window you go running after him God is running after his workers all keeps snatching it out mmm first rule let's do this quickly because I want to do this as an example Jesus is the word of God the Bible is what he said it reveals him he's the point if you're not Christ Oh centric this is a museum you're reading if you're not Christ sinner there's no point in you even reading this you're gonna miss it the first rule of accurate biblical hermeneutics is definition in other words when you're trying to interpret what a scripture means here's this genius prophets Katie you gotta at least know how to define words g-gosh you may not need to read the Bible with a dictionary it might help you because you're in the 21st century where most words have evolved or changed from their original etymology which is the origin of meaning for a word at what something means in English may not be what it means in Hebrew most of the religious practice in the church is cause of laziness you're lazy you get that one verse you say yay he do of all things well that's all I need to know you don't know what half that stuff means so the first rule of biblical hermeneutics a preach his definition you got to define words and as a biblical interpreter you have to define words don't assume them number two you got the rule of usage because the rule of usage is not the same rule of definition that means that the Old Testament was written originally by two and four Jews so that means the words and the idioms that are used there must have been contextualized to Jewish culture which you ain't usage usage how are these words use I had an awful experience with this I have had the blessed privilege of traveling to 19 nations to preach the gospel verifiably on my passport for one season I was going to a lot of Latin American nations I made the mistake of trying to impress them by trying to use Spanish words that I picked up in one place in another place nobody told me Cyrus they're Puerto Ricans Mexicans Dominicans they don't always use the same words for the same things I had a student in my class who the term pinche MIT bullet in her head I went to another nation call myself being cute because it was the same language too so I thought and I said that in apparently I offended her I called her a female dog had no clue that that's what I said I thought I was saying I like your boar head I told her I liked your same word different culture same word different culture same word different culture which means if you don't understand the rule of culture you're gonna mess up the definition to begin with 3 the rule of context the rule of context if you approach a segment of scripture and you do not give consideration to the audience then you're going to mismanage and mangle and mutate its meaning if you do not give consideration to the context you're going to mangle its meaning for historic background what were the sociological archaeological psychological norms of that day to understand it now because all Scripture is profitable I'm going to learn something from it all even if I still eat shrimp his store background we're gonna do together I'm show you how this works then number five here is that here is that here is something my wife has helped me to realize the rule of logic the rule of logic you have the rule of historical background then you have the rule of logic what is the rule of logic here's what I got you ready for a brother if it states something here it should also stay something there if I find that there are segments of the Bible that seemed to contradict itself I'm the one missing the meaning this is why the Bible does nothing for people who don't have the spirit when you have the spirit you are willing to abase yourself and use the rule of logic which is if these two segments contradict itself I lead a different meaning so it does not mean discredit the whole book it means go deeper to find the meaning that's the rule of logic and only tool you'll clap your hands because I know common sense don't make sense that's why you date who you date and work who your work and quit jobs prematurely no I got common sense so if you're opposed to scripture with that same immaturity you're gonna leave with something that the Bible did not say and then preach it and get a man's praise the Lord number six the rule of precedent the rule of precedent what is the premise you know what that means historically y'all need to go back to school what that means essentially is you got to understand the problem that merited the statement the statement is made because something exists its called a precedent the Bible is full of parable allegory symbols numbers types the only reason John said in Revelation that he saw 144,000 oh let me go back he said he heard a hundred and forty four thousand what is 144,000 like for those of you Jehovah's Witnesses that say it's only 144,000 us going there just like I'll run from him y'all don't studying John didn't say he saw him he said he had him why'd he say hurt him 12 times 12 is 144 and the Bible says that there were 12 tribes and 12 judges he was using Exodus like Titan language it was not a literal 144,000 people if that's the case all the Chicago can't get to heaven the rule of logic [Applause] now this is gonna sound petty but I honestly don't mean it that way all the way if you don't understand prophecy in general if you don't even pop a sign it means you don't know how God talks if you don't know how he talks you show they they don't know how are you so this is why with non prophetic people approach a prophetic book it's like Braille no-shave Braille the Spirit of the author is what I've lifts the meaning of it 7 the rule of unity the spirit and the word agree the scriptures must be interpreted by Scripture the Scriptures must be interpreted by Scripture 8 is the rule of inference inference and inference is a fact reasonably implied from another fact it is logical sequence and logical consequence let's do this together so that you can understand this if you didn't get all those steps I got 12 minutes and I'm not done preaching watch the replay yelling like this let's go to Paul's letter to first Corinthians because this one in other ways you know when the spirit of religion is in place they attack women I do declare unto you wherever there is a religious spirit in place they're going to abuse and attack women let's do an exercise you ready y'all ready y'all don't want to do exercise okay I don't care if you do it don't we gonna do it go what we're not gonna do it be ignorant in this church let's go to first Corinthians what I want to start 12 let's go there you ready alright okay thank you god I love your word for real hold on okay let's do this oh this should be fun there should be so fun alright now let's go all the way all the way all the way down are you a first Corinthians 12 hold on Ricky do me a favor I need a teacher's assistant oh you got with a box of tissue girl I want you to pull out why two three give one of those to every woman up there make them put that on a hair right now I'm coming for your devil I'm trying to show you no come come over to me come on all the women with the hair cover listen watch every woman up here what they had covered leave your spouse or significant other wherever you somewhere and come and stand over here sit together [Laughter] [Applause] say interpret say interpret in Corinth not just in church pay attention again this is applying them a truce men and women no matter if they were married or not could not sit together mmm if this were the church at Corinth okay who your man is you would be sitting over here they would sit there and guess what that would be a veil that separated you like a lost shears sheet you don't know that if you just read what Paul's saying there is a sheet a sheer shimming cuz they believe much like y'all believe that if you sit next to somebody you go on them I guess that's what the lottery would so you got the men's section the women's section which is segregation and then Paul writes with knowledge of this in 1st Corinthians 14 sorry 34 and 35 stay right here you ready 14 and 34 let's read this together now sometimes if I'm honest I wish this was a literal it meaning let your women shut up in the church good enough they don't believe it's in there let your women keep silence in the churches for it is not permitted unto them to speak if you are lady and you say hello to somebody wave at me today you're going to hell every one of you congratulations if you took that service selfie inhale when you lift up your eyes if you said hallelujah you're going to hell if you said thank you Jesus you're going to hell this Bible say now this is how foolish these preachers sound they take stuff like this they say let your women keep silence a poor woman to have leadership over man verse 35 and if they want to learn anything let them ask their husbands at home even if they ain't got one I guess for it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church if I take those two verses and do what I just did in a religious bound ignorant arrogant inflexible hard-hearted culture they were going shouting dance and impose Lucy Lee looking women will go home and sleep with the same preachers that told him to shut up screaming ha crack let's reverse it let's go to first Corinthians 11 first Corinthians 11 other question this is the use of the principle of logic how many core rince was there which means that if he said something in one chapter and said something in another chapter unless there was Corinth 2.0 he was talking to the same people 1st Corinthians 11 and 5 you ready scream exegesis what I just showed y'all was eisegesis and it's the basis of most conferences you go to in 1st Corinthians 11 and 5 but every woman who prays now you can get away with saying you can pray in your heart silently but this next one you can't debunk it or prophesy which is to teach risky repeat admonish or comfort now listen how did you do any of that silently if a woman walks up to us I've got a prophetic words for you are you gonna say Oh God which one is right which one cuz if I'm bound and religious I'm gonna preach that 14th one specially if I've got an issue with women anyway I'm gonna ignore this here and because they qualify the prophesy because they got head coverings on what is the real meaning the real meaning is I am Paul and I know how you Corinthians are so if it's going to create unnecessary chatter in church women don't waste your time speaking across this veil to them because it's going to distract whoever is up front teaching if you want clarity on what they're teaching wait till you get home and acts your husband's the whole book of 1st Corinthians was about the gifts of the Spirit being done decently and in order which means if somebody is up here y'all shouldn't be talking to each other out there so be silent unto your home and then ask it was not saying that women could not talk unless Paul change his mind two chapters over [Applause] congratulations you just became a biblical interpreter give yourselves a hand you women may snatch the the yolks off your head and walk in your destiny and your purpose [Applause] mmm do I want to do this again [Applause] oh I don't want to do this [Applause] one of the things that happened to me before I learned all of this nothing God for rudimentary and regimented upbringing in at least scriptural scholarship because a lot of what y'all Pentecostals taught me I knew was crap one of the things that happened to me when I was in search of the baptism of the holy ghost I had been saved or so I thought up until one day in eighth grade CFO somebody asked me if I spoke in tongues yet and the truth is I hadn't but I had accepted Jesus as my personal Savior to my knowledge because I didn't speak in tongues [Music] oh no it don't matter what you received by grace it through faith my Bible tell me you got to have tongues are you ain't safe how now the reasons Christ is something y'all still believe that foolishness you walked all and nowhere in the book of Romans does it make tongues the prerequisite for salvation not one time say exegete it is true that God wants everybody feel what the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking with tongues but I hate to disappoint you there is not a tongues verifier at heaven that's gonna be at the gate like uh uh let me hit them stammering lips okay if you believe Jesus son of God you ain't getting in here unless you go speak in tongues ask me why ain't nobody up there talking in tongues [Applause] in acts the second chapter which is what y'all used to terrorize full when the Bible said cloven tongues of fire set upon each of them so that's how they connected they say if you baptized in Jesus name to go get cloven tongues of fire got it understand it only one problem them Tom's well understood clearly I [Applause] can't get help back there battle 120 people that won't even say those are what you call other Punk's lazy just lazy you think that the word other and the word unknown is the same thing there is a difference between an unknown tongue and another Tom's tongues Lord Jesus is not a prerequisite for salvation now it's gonna change your life when you do get filled with the Holy Ghost and if he was a cutter like me you really do need another language to rely on so it benefits you to be filled with the Holy goes with the speaking with tongues but if you say and you got Jesus as he is the Holy Ghost [Applause] look at how ignorant it is to have people walking around believing in their heart confessing in their mouth that God had raised Christ from the dead you shall be saying if I make you more mad acts 2 was not a prophecy Peter said this is that which was spoken x2 was a reference of something that was already prophesied y'all pushed that to 2019 and that like is something that's supposed to happen we are in the kingdom the Holy Ghost is here we Antarian for nothing we receiving but you see how religion does it come in scripture I'm about to kidnap you and I'm a bully and embarrass and condemn as many people as I can because here's a deal if I'm in a room with a thousand people and 20 of their thousand people love Jesus have repented been baptized they just don't speak in tongues they're gonna always feel like second-class Christians because y'all taught them until you get baptized with the Holy Ghost you ain't one of us how much more of Jesus can you have than Jesus if you've asked a man in your heart he didn't leave nothing out now it's gonna benefit you when he takes you under but if he's in there he's in there [Applause] [Music] amen that's the power a biblical interpretation now look at how men you know what the church hurt movement is about other than it being about psychologically and emotionally in stable people the core of it is people don't understand the Bible from the pulpit to the Pew this is how the devil was genius Marcus by making slavery lasts as long as it did by tying it to Bible [Applause] your Bible says as a black person slaves obey your masters if you manage slavery you are against biblical order unless you interpret which means that I was talking to slaves about how to behave because they had slaves it was not permission for slavery it was character and conduct if you were living in a society that promoted I'm not going stop using the Bible to break people it's not here for that it's here to change is here to transform it's hit and deliver it's hit or resuscitate it's Hillary strong the problem is for centuries we've not understood how to interpret I just proved it unless Paula's schizophrenic he told them shut up in church or if you're not gonna shut up put a napkin on your head which is it it's interpretation it's method the message is still the same decency and in order decency and in order it's the same stuff so you can't look at stuff the prophets is telling me to come off now listen I'm a deliverance man lord help me Jesus I believe in the casting out of Devils I do I really do I bind the devil I cast them out curses all that I do that but if your reason of Christian superiority over another Christian is that they got tattoos and they wear jeans and you wear choir robes and whatever and you think that that's acting like the world and what you use is Leviticus 16 that says do not make marks on your body for though dead comma I am the Lord say logic there was no such thing as tattoo ink say logic there was no thing as such thing as tattoo needles say logic they were talking about embalming preparation for dead relatives in the worship of the day which was necromancy but because you read it there and you know it's funny all you being golden corral judging people with tattoos and you full of fish you full of lobster you full of gumbo and to have a polyester when the Bible's I don't wanna mix fabrics [Applause] how holy now I'm not giving you permission to go out there and mark yourself up and look like the world and all that you know only the Bible judge and convict you I'm just saying I said Jesus it's bringing your opinion to the scripture and wrangling it until it makes sense if Paul tells me you mad in here I mean you steaming like fresh rice if my Bible tells me not about Dora if you will believe in your heart that God has raised Christ from the dead and confess with your mouth I don't care whose name you got on your heart I don't care what picture you got on your back you shall be hey open them up and scream that's it [Applause] I'm trying to move on look at her she's a husband got a nose Pierce walkin around ha what that wall paint on her face pass fools a streetwalker woman at a night there our nose Pierce here is the hypocrisy you serve a God that let his son get pierced you worship for Jesus who even after he was raised didn't cold his whole life how dare you make piercing a matter of salvation just so you don't like it but don't say I saved I'm locked in here what we need is men and women that's gonna bring us back to the Bible if you're gonna have a bias let it be found in this book for this reason many people around the world won't even come to church cuz it's stuff like this I know people that's been out of religion for years that you can get them to wear pants whole women that's a guilt they be in and you know you being target and maybe having on these long and you know god bless you cuz the book of Romans say if you think it's faith if you're doing it in honor to God that it's not seeing anything wrong with it but don't make me wrong cuz I want to wear jeans maybe in the pancake house long flowing wedding gowns on lady a Saturday I know you got to do laundry what's going on here but if any man uses the Bible to put you in bondage gettin mine is not teaching by the Spirit of God I gave you the Book of Revelations to begin with because here is our bottom line Jesus is the word of God the Bible is the sword that Jesus uses and it's not in his hand anymore it's in his mouth all we have to do is do what Jesus did put that thing into your mouth and the back it's the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God Hebrews 4 said his quick his powerful is sharper than any other weapon you'll never change them by condemning them that's it out of our experiences in church this is a poor interpretation van CFO we got to dreamers we got to people that say God Jesus came to me in a dream and told me this with this scripture I get it I'm a seer I understand but you realize that people dream their doctrine you can dream things because of how you were taught it's the same reason why y'all think fish means somebody pregnant which is more witchcraft on any day than a tattoo [Applause] y'all will keep these young people out of church cuz they adjusted to modesty yet they need to but they digest it yet and you will get sick and then say you saw Big Mama come to you and bring you into the light you only need one dead person bringing you into the light and that dead person ain't even dead no more y'all not talking to dead relatives who ain't been oh no cost shed no blood and you biggest God but when listen when you have a hung up of the supernatural and that are hunger for the scriptural you are a prime candidate for deception we need trained ears the word ain't in that ain't no Bible in that you have no basis for your belief you can believe because you want to believe but it's not in the Bible it's not valid I just want us to bring the Putin back that's all I long I just want to bring the book back I want to bring the book back I want a generation of men that love that book how about some young people that'll do their homework and make time to find that book I want some people to bury themselves even though I'm not doing what they're doing I don't need a feast if it's another way for me to find Jesus let me bury myself in this book because I love him therefore sorry the Bible is best when it's used by the spirit that's why it is the sword of the Spirit if you're reading the Bible for any other reason than to find Jesus good luck you've been locked out of his beauty you've been restricted outside of its wisdom If any man have not the Spirit of God he is none of his so you really enjoyed the Bible when you full of the Spirit one of the most start playing one of the most painful things in the world for me to watch is people say unscriptural spiritual things it's like really painful and then they said with such meanness in such abrasiveness you ain't got no power ain't none there now and where now no condemnation I understand what you're trying to say but just know you not saying it and take a little bit of the arrogance off the fact that you think you got it right humble yourself what we really need is biblical scholars who will be bold and brave enough to abandon centuries of error to find what the Word of God is therefore it's Jesus that's my bottom line Jesus finding him learning him knowing him now it would take more than 66 books to do it but we have a gift in these sixty-six books you will find every answer to life somewhere there if you look hard enough but to look at it it's just like a recipe now I'm not a recipe cooker but there are some people cook my recipe I'm I come out of spirit the Holy over oh yeah yeah it's what's called soul food I got to pull on the spirit but if you look at a recipe it don't mean you know how it tastes you've not experienced what you're reading it's not until you start putting that stuff together to experience what it is that you can actually verify how it tastes we're in a theological crisis and because of it the harvest is out there looking like it that's what it take so you know what people were mad at Jesus he simplified salvation they were ticked off no you're not gonna tell me after all these years of pigeons and goats and bulls and washes and crackers and juice that you just gonna show up and say Here I am no it's him and what I think God has called this church to bear here's a revolutionary group of theological reformers that stand up with one motive Jesus and whatever is in the way of showing people him does not matter I counted as dog you understand what I'm saying it's Jesus that's the point of the Bible and you go to it to find him that's it it's like remember when I was little we had to wear his Waldo when you approach the Word of God Jordan approach it like you're finding Waldo I want to find he got to be in here somewhere was he the one that was talking to Moses where was he in the garden of Eve where is he and Noah's Ark was he the ark where was he while we're finding him there that is the whole point but when you go to the Bible looking for ways to prove other humans wrong you already been judged because you win in arrogance and eisegesis you got to approach the scriptures in humility humility in closing one of the things the prophets said and this is something that is a goal of mine where are those trimble at my word see the problem with this culture is we've lost a reverence it's it's a we have a very casual I want to say platonic relationship with the scripture but the problem is on the other side of that we got arrogant judgments of other people how you going chat with the Scriptures have a half tale knowledge of it and then use I was always taught as the premise of your judgments of other people be willing to say I don't know there's a lot of people that really want to be saved but they like it takes too much it really does not first of all it takes a glimpse of him a commitment to walk away from your frame of thought that's what repentance is it is not apology people that read the Bible casually think repentance is saying I'm sorry no it's a change of thought and behavior with a follower but you can't do that because the basis of renewing your mind is in the Bible it's the Word of God it regulates it thinks there have been times when a spirit of heaviness would be upon me until I found myself feasting on the Word of God and it became life to me see God can take something that was set thousands of years ago and make it wear you out it can wash you and this this is gonna make you sick for a while because you're gonna literally feel like you want to detox you're gonna be on scriptural keto cuz this stuff has got to come out of you or else you'll never see him for what he is now there are people who are in error and mean well you are just as wicked for taking your knowledge of the Bible to judge the ignorant now I know the ignorant or the mean because the first thing they want to do is send you to hell then god I'm like dang is that another consequence can you wish a flat tire on me or something but as soon as we don't disagree you're gonna strike to hell that's the strongest thing they got you're gonna hell all over there well listen if I don't go over here I'm going to hell i'm not to where you clean out biblically could've obviously a fool deserve to be hitting his job unless you interpret I want my church to love God's Word I want it Jordan when I started ministering the grace of God I started watching condemnation come off of people and something changing their eyes when I would read the scriptures again it stopped being lullabies and it start being the thing that lit our paths and determine our steps the thing that was the barrier for all our decisions I won't move unless I can find peace in this book about it it's all we've got so either you believe it or you do not but here's how it's gonna work you've got to partner with the Holy Ghost and the written word and you'll find your way that's where it is amen in the name of Jesus those of you that have been under religious condemnation and attacking witchcraft so much so that you won't even walk in your calling I release the angels of the Lord that you even now to begin to reverse and rehab that damage the impact on your heart and your soul from relentless religious bondage and control and I released father I'm asking that the Spirit of God would begin to riester within them ah a curiosity at the scripture our hunger at the scripture a search of the scriptures may they wake up early with the hunger for it may they go to bed late because they can't sleep without it I'm even asking that you would put the scriptures in their mouths as they pray don't get them to stop praying complaints and and praying views and praying opinions but your word says put me in remembrance of my word let them pray the Scriptures sing the Scriptures love the scriptures and may they become living epistles because of what they read and study let them use the scriptures now how to emancipate slaves and release men from darkness to break the powers of wickedness on the morality and the culture of men's conscience and heart and may they use the scripture to convert and not to condemn I pray this for your people a fresh love for the word of God and Lord your word promises that where the word is preached signs follow your word declares that you confirm your word with sides I'm asking that as we learn to love the Word of God more that you would show up in power to affirm what's been preached raise up teachers my god anoint teachers grab ahold of teachers cruel teachers raise up Gamaliel that will identify pause and show them the role into the holy riding that the Spirit of God help us to abort ignorance in the name of Jesus I give you Hana for doing this we are in a scriptural revolution do this in our hearts in Jesus name I want everybody and I know this is weird I know this is weird but if you're just grateful even if you're not all the way there for one verse of scripture that changed your life wait wait wait forever they just remember a time when a verse broke a yoke off your life I remember my father was murdered being kind I remember the moment I knew a spirit of heaviness had claimed me I knew it this is what is it and I remember reading you'll take your joy your mourning and give you joy you'll bring back the days of dancing as was in your youth I remember going back to all-girl laughter all of it and I decided to dance not because I wanted to but because I needed to and if I did not I wouldn't allow the activity of gratitude to break the weight of depression all you need is one scripture I guess somebody in here thank God not for a house or car friends thank God for His Word right there if I were ever helped you get out never were never kept you from doing something stupid if a word ever I should never challenge you come appraiser brother buh buh buh bah bah bah bah bah bah bah see the Word of God will give you something to say when you don't know what to say we're gonna open the doors of the church I have to go [Music] there are people in here I know this is there are people in here who have been abused by people who use the Bible so you're indifferent with your salvation you gave up trying you don't even want to do it no more because they made it hard and complex or there are those of you who are suspicious of all churches because of what happened to you at one so there are two groups of people I want to be very clear there are people in here that are not saved
