up ministry and get ready to walk away from my church I have been offered a position to become president at Texas Southern University and god I had to grab me and shake me because I was lost almost 17 pounds couldn't even sleep at night I had developed acute insomnia couldn't even function had cereal migraine headaches and I woke up in the morning trying to find somebody to blame and God told me to look in the mirror and look at myself I see so many times we want to blame other people for where it is that we are but we never take responsibility for our own bad decisions and poor choices and church people are quick to have amnesia and and forget what it is that they did but anybody know you did some stuff that should have wiped you out but but God gave you another chance amen I want you

custom in Baltimore would you kindly stand for the reading of God's Word 910 thank God for this incredible music ministry that let us in worship tonight all of the minstrels who own the appropriate organs John chapter 10 verse 10 John 10 verse 10 the thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy I've come that you might have life and have it more abundantly you may be seated the thief comes to steal to kill and to destroy but I've come that you might have life and have it more abundantly I want to preach for a little while tonight using as a subject mission incomplete mission incomplete would you look at the person beside you and tell them the mission is incomplete just a few years weeks ago in Baltimore so as it was here in Connecticut a new school year commenced students begin to stroll through the hallways of colleges and universities Catholic schools charter schools in public institutions and all of them invariably went through a process of orientation invariably whether the course of study was philosophy or biology in the front of the classroom whether it was a teacher a professor or Proctor they all in the early days of the semester begin to pass out a syllabus of required readings chord course outlines project expectations essays and dissertation due dates in that opening session it was made explicitly clear what was required of them in order for them to get a in order for them to get an A in the class they had to come to class had to participate in the discussions do the necessary readings never be a disruption to those who really want to learn they have to turn their assignments in on time they have to be prepared for a quiz that will not be announced they have to their time making sure that they are prepared for the final exam conversely in early of modulars of education not only will they tell you what is required for you to pay us there tell you what's needed for you to fail skip class don't participate be disruptive don't read the required readings fail to turn in your assignments and be unprepared for the test ladies and gentlemen has a lifelong student you're listening tonight to a preacher who failed the 11th grade went back and got a GED they the grace of God went to Morehouse College graduated from Duke University holding a doctoral degree from Oxford University and in all of the mine matriculation from kindergarten open to this hour never once do I remember a teacher or professor or Proctor after telling me what to do to pass the class or to fail the class not one instruction ever told me what was required to get a in complete somebody who was a slow learner and a slow bloomer I would have appreciated that information because had I've been given the tools that were necessary to get a hint complete maybe I wouldn't have had to spend all those summers in some Skol maybe I wouldn't have been the star pupil in detention an incomplete ladies and gentlemen simply suggests that there is a body of work that is unfinished and incomplete says that the teacher recognizes that you are lacking something the incomplete suggests forthrightly you are not ready to be graded because you haven't done all that is required and ladies and gentlemen I came really to file a petition for mal negligence against the church because the church has taught us what it takes to be successful as a Christian to pray without ceasing bless the Lord at all times love those who would despitefully use you bring your tithes into the storehouse they've also told us what to do to fail the class in Christendom don't live up to the standard of what it is that God has called us to do be blasphemous in your faith be a hero of the word but not a doer also not be disciplined of what it is that you have been called to do but ladies and gentlemen I have come tonight because there are so many of you under the sound of my voice who are not passing as a Christian and you really aren't failing but if grades were to be given out tonight heaven would have to mark you incomplete and the reason why it is you'd have to be marked in complaint is because they are some people in this room God has given a clarion call in charge to you know your assignment you know your purpose you know the area you're supposed to be working in but you haven't done it and there's so many people who are filled with frustrated faith because you still can't do what it takes to get ahead and every time you try to pull yourself up it feels like there's something that's pushing you back I know you got on your church clothes today and you're sanctified faced but there are a lot of people in this room if they're honest they'll have to be transparent tonight and declare preacher I feel in complaint and I don't know what it is because people who really don't understand my dream and don't understand my call they're jealous of me and they don't understand it this is an even way I want to be I feel incomplete because people are telling me I do too much and I ought to slow down but they don't understand I was celebrating because I remember where it is that I came from I feel incomplete because the things that impress you don't mean nothing to me I feel incomplete because I don't come to the place with material things no longer satiate my appetite and now want more out of my life than a bag and a pair of shoes and a car every three to four years and now I want to be able to go to sleep at night knowing that I'm a little bit closer to where it is that God has called me to be I'm I'm feeling incompleted as a consequence now for me I can't play around in church I need more than won't he do it Amy all right and he died one Friday I got up one Sunday morning there's a hunger in me that keeps pulling for something but natural from God I feel incomplete I can't just go along if you get along and now I become irritable because I no longer have patience force people who are petty and small and dealing with trifling stuff I feel incomplete cuz I'm sitting at a table with folks that I got nothing in common with and I been their friend for a year but all they can talk about is the past and my mind is on the future my feeling of incomplete I'm trying to figure out who's responsible for making me feel this way is it psychologically am I feeling incomplete because of what's going on in my mind because I should be happy but I am quietly closeted ly depressed is is it something in my thinking because when I look at all of the stuff that I have acquired and ascertained most people would be satisfied but but now that kind of stuff that I've been working for it don't even mean nothing to me yet and the enemy don't even understand he can take it even if he steals it I'll still be alright because the God that I serve was with me when I didn't have all the dear said and so I'm thankful under God he is it is it in my mind he do do I feel incomplete because I was brought up in the wrong side of the tracks that then I crew up in a dysfunctional family that I didn't have I filed the present I had a mother who had to work too much I had siblings who never treated me the same as them is it because where I grew up in God said don't blame it on your dysfunctional family because if it was up to your family you would have been crazy nine years ago but but you ought to be able to thank God looking over my family life God must have put me in the family as an undercover agent cuz I don't even act like their mouth even think like them there's something about me that's different than everybody else in my family what what is it that is making me insufficient what is it that's making me in feel inadequate or incomplete is it is it because I'm just having a bad time in my life a preacher I don't know how it is that some folk just get comfortable being broke used to struggling I'm I'm talking to those of y'all if we can keep it on a hundred tonight but that when you going through you ain't just gonna be walking around asking people and and telling people what you going through you you from the hood so you learn how to suck it up and hold it down and say I'm gonna handle mine and make sure my kids alright and folk don't even know I'm scared every month get the lights don't be cut off my house is gonna be foreclosed Manor I'm thankful under God that I still serve Jehovah Jireh and he shall supply I'm feeling somewhat are incomplete because I look around and so many the people around me they got more degrees and got more experience and and they got more exposure and they say off-the-cuff remarks trying to make me feel bad but but finally I was able to shake it off and I'm trying to figure out why people hear me who got more than me are jealous of me y'all ain't done nothing to you I'm bothering you I'm trying to figure out why you trying to burn me up when I'm just trying to mind my business I ain't come to church to make no friends I gotta go eat with y'all I've gotta be in your low clique I don't wanna be on your low committee let me just give my word my my business and go back to my house somebody say preach black man I'm trying to do the best I can what what what is it that makes you feel incomplete or makes you feel inadequate or makes you feel insufficient and and for you tonight there are so many layers and layers of inadequacy and so many layers of low self-esteem and there's so many layers a poor self-image there's so many layers of wounds of stuff that happened in the past that you never heal from there's so many layers of things that you got to work through in your mind that folks don't understand I deserve a blue ribbon just for showing up at church dude do you know what kind of hell I've been through in my life y'all want me to be smilin and Kiki and all the time I gotta keep it together cuz I tried to trust Negros before and the last time I trusted her they stabbed me in the back so I gotta keep I got layers of insufficiency and an inadequacy that the enemy has placed on me but I came all the way from Baltimore tonight how to make a Clarion apostolic announcement in this house and what God would have me download into your hard drive yes for you to realize you are not inadequate god help me in here this is the slow class I'm bringing in the yellow bus let me make the announcement again I said you are not in adequate God help me in here I need some of y'all to holla at your boy can I just get 500 of y'all just shout in this room we see the police we see that ladies and gentlemen you have everything you need to succeed you got all of the tools that it takes in order for you to get to the next level I don't know where you are but somebody needs this message the rest of y'all can daydream if you want to but if they're 300 a Yahoo feel like you give them a get your swagger back would you just declare out loud I am NOT inadequate I be seated please that the enemy is hoping ladies and gentleman that you never wake up to the consciousness of the reality of who you are how the enemy wants to keep you in timeout I'm he wants to make you feel like you don't have what it takes because the enemy knows if you ever wake up and realize greater is He that is in me then he that is in the world can I tell you I want to prove to you the favor of God that's on your life you wanna know how much favor you got with all the stuff you've been through in your life the rest of the people sitting on your Pew if they had to go to it they with a wig crazy but you are able to say I woke up this morning with my mind we see that please there is a difference between an enemy and an adversary there's a difference between an enemy and an adversary our enemy watch this is a personal an enemy is a personal they they don't like you for personal reasons hear me when you have an adversary it is not a personal reason it is a principled reason let me see if I can illuminate the idea for you we are in Iraq our troops are there our sons and daughters are fighting in Iraq but probably most of troops who were there do not know the names of the people they are fighting so they are not they are fighting against a personality here me they are fighting against a principle let me see if I can help you here the reason why the enemy is so vehemently against you is because it is personal and it is principled what do you mean creature the Satan what is Satan he is in fact thrown out of heaven loses his right to be around the throne rushes for messing up once and when he messed up once he lost the ability to praise God forever now he is Satan is looking at us without rifle himself y'all ain't talking back to men you still sleeping with folk still drinking steel getting high steel cussing when you get angry but God still lets you come to church anyway you the glory not because I'm so good because you're being good to me if you do not want to be on the enemies hit list please don't praise Him god help me you don't understand that when you praise God you ain't doing nothing more than picking a fight huh because you throwing up in his face what he didn't have access to which is Grace look at your neighbor tell him I am NOT shouting cuz I'm perfect I'm shouting because I'm forgiving because if I told you all the stuff I did you'd be scared to sit next to me in church the devil comes to steal I'm in John chapter 10 verse 10 Clause a the devil comes to steal now you would know this this lady Bailey that we only put alarms watch this on two things the enemy is a faith and it comes to steal all right metaphorically we only put alarms on two things we put alarms on cars god help me in here and we put alarms on houses because they stand for us as a symbol for what it is the enemy is trying to steal do you see your car hear me is a sign a symbol or a metaphor of movement it is a sign for mobility what the enemy wants to do is steal here it is your drive huh so so he wants to make you watch this feels stuck where you are and he tries to make the walls come in on you the oxygen gets a little bit thin so you begin to convince yourself you always gonna be where you are I bet I feel like busting loose because I feel like here it is that somebody in this room is getting ready to step into another dimension you don't know what it is but you've been feeling you've been feeling I hope I can say this word you've been feeling transition so that's why your sircle been getting smaller because God is getting ready to drive you into something else look at your neighbor tell them by December 31st I'm gonna be in a different tax bracket I don't have a different position December 31st I will be at a different level be seated please holiday yeah he's he's trying to keep you in Park hallelujah because he understand that the gospel is a verb and a verb watch this is in fact an action word those of us who have anointing on our lives we cannot stand still but watch this because the call of every anointed person is to go would you just elbow your neighbor don't even look at him and tell them you give a make some moves god help me I hope you ready cuz

talking to real folk he wants to kill your joy so much so that you don't even remember the last time you were legitimately happy he wants to kill your joy so that when something good happens to you you tell yourself is too good to be true he wants to kill your joy to the place where you don't even recognize the sound of your own authentic laughter he wants to kill your joy to such an extent that you'll be in the car in some days you want to drive passion he wants to so kill your joy did you become angry and if somebody asks you was wrong you tell them nothing because you don't even know which thing you upset about at that moment he tried to so kill your joy they're just the smallest little finger will get on your nerves and get you on ten out of the blue everything can be going well and somebody will say something side eye to you and it'll mess up your whole spirit and your soul day but I wonder if there's anybody in here that understands after everything that I've been through I still got my joy and this joy that I had the world didn't give it in the Lord I want to kill your joy but not only don't want to kill your joy I I want to kill yourself esteem gonna kill yourself esteem and I I didn't come tonight to make friends or play politics has to make you kill yourself a stain because you still haven't figured out how the person who did you and you still trying to pick up the pieces trying to kill yourself for staying mad at a real level because for the life of you you can't understand how it is that you live I try to kill yourself a steam because every time you offer up an idea because they don't like you they'll sit on the idea Oh God and then and they don't even understand you don't even want to credit you you just want to see the office the ministry to auxilary move forward and they so busy hating on you they don't even understand I only want the job y'all yeah y'all can have it I'm I'm just trying to staying in the lane God has me in getting this season but he's messing with my self-esteem cuz I never thought at this point in my life I thought I'd be so much further I'm prayin praising God and I feel I'm watching other folk going in and I remember when I used to feel like that but but now it's just going through the exercise and I'm trying to figure out God have you forgotten about me it's missing with my self-esteem picked up some weight I can't dress the way I used to I can't do for my kids what I would like and I just can't adjust to struggling some folk like this just ain't me I'm recognizing that at this point in my life I'll never ever say this out loud but I have lowered my standards simply because I don't like being alone I'm at a place if I can be honest Ralph I come the church takes everything in you you keep telling yourself I am NOT don't break down in front of them I am NOT don't give them the satisfaction so when I see church folk I begin going into autopilot I'm blessed and highly favored and this is my season and he's anointed me and God is good all the time you really think his whole scope and intention is for you to lose the house he don't care nothing about no house he's trying to do enough to have so much pressure on your plate in so much stress in your spirit where you feel like you can't make it and suicide depression isolation and loneliness are the answer but I came to declare there's somebody in this room the devil is there you got what it takes he wants to steal he wants to kill would you be seated out oh my god three more times to tell you dad becomes a steel he comes to kill am bishop he came to a little problem because he exposed his resume too early the enemy comes to steal and he comes to kill and they found the 33 year old man they were trying to figure out what could they do to steal his self-esteem I said so they begin the gamble for his clothes and they said what can we do to break his morale and his spirit and and they begin to spit in his face they said what can we do to make him second-guess his call and his purpose say they begin to call him King of the Jews when it is that they nailed his hands and and nailed his feet they would have won if they would have just left him on the ground but they made a critical mistake when they lifted the cross up because he said if God help me I feel like a Baptist preacher please please be seated and so we and when you got saved Thank You Holy Ghost I'm coming around the mountain when you got saved but you had your name change thank you that you were no longer yourself but you adopted the name of Christian yes and Christian just symbolizes that I'm christ-like yes and because I am christ-like that means that I am a joint heir that whatever it is that that Jesus did that that's what I'm able to do ladies and gentlemen I know that this has been a rough year and I please excuse me and embed my indulgence tonight I apologize to all the preachers are here in the house because I'm breaking every exegetical in every homiletic along because after all at this time I only got one point thank you and the only point that I gotta leave with you tonight is that the enemy can do yes at the enemy can kill but I came to tell the enemy this report card not yes and I came to give the enemy his report the report I got to give the enemy is incomplete because you killed me stand as a living witness look at your neighbor and say neighbor thought he had me but I got away look at your neighbor the reason why I should have been suicide look at your neighbor I don't have the I don't have all the money I don't have a whole lot of because I wasn't destroyed [Music] be seated and this is the last time tonight this is the last time tonight I may ask you to be seated and Bishop Bailey after this I'm no longer
