Not Guilty By Reason Of Insanity | Pastor Keion Henderson

[Music] I believe that we all got a praise I gotta get it out I gotta get it out I want you to go with me to John chapter 8. John chapter eight we're in the month of patterns thank you Pastor Rhema for those words thank you Pastor Hammond Pastor Bishop cion Roberts let's give all of our campus pastors a hand thank you for those words John chapter 8 verse number one John chapter 8 verse number one if you got to say I got it if you still look and say hold up [Music] if you don't know where to look I love you too Sarge um if you don't know where to look or we gonna have you know what we're going to do bible study this month I think I'm gonna do it I think I'm gonna do another not your typical let that's what baby what day you want to do it the 20th every week y'all want to have Bible study on the 23rd all right put it on your calendar we're gonna have Bible study that Tuesday John 8-1 says Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives and early in the morning he came again into the temple and all the people came unto him and he sat down and taught them everybody say talk them and the scribes who are like lawyers and writers and the Pharisees religious people brought unto him a woman taken in adultery and when they have set her in the midst they said unto him Master this woman was taken in adultery in the very act in other words we caught her now Moses in the law commanded us that such a woman should be stoned but what you got to say about it this they said tempting him that they might have a just cause to accuse him you better be careful what you say and everybody who's asking the question doesn't deserve your response [Applause] touch your neighbor say I gotta explain myself to you if I shout the rest of the sermon don't ask me don't look at me funny I ain't got to explain myself you don't know what I've been through I suggest you back up off me but Jesus this is what he did and I'm hurrying but Jesus stooped down with his finger and wrote on the ground as though he heard them not verse 7 so when they continue asking him he lifted up himself because see sometimes you got to lift you up [Applause] there are way too many people depending on somebody else's affirmations to lift you up when you down you are responsible for picking you up touch your name say pick yourself up he said unto them [Applause] among you let him cast a stone at her I want you to identify everybody on your road because if there is anybody on your road that has not seen you gonna be in trouble today so find out if you got a a perfect person next to you I know some people think they are but I need you to ask him are you perfect neighbor because if you are can you get out so we can get some more imperfect people in the room [Applause] the problem is is that the only people in your life that you can handle are the perfect people but let me tell you the worst person in your life are the people who pretend they've never done anything [Applause] the Bible says all have sinned [Applause] and after he said who gonna throw the stone at them nobody was without sin so the Bible says that they begin to drop their rocks from the eldest down to the youngest and after it was all said and done the only person left standing was the woman they tried to kill let me tell you what the Lord told me to talk to you about today not guilty by reason of insanity that's what I want to talk about today touch your neighbor and say I'm not guilty by reason of insanity you may be seated in the presence of the Lord so Bishop Roberts recently I read a story about two monks who had recently joined a monastery and as is the custom of all new monks who joined monasteries their first job is to be a scribe but what does that mean to write the scriptures transcribe transcriptured scribe to write so the the job of all new monks in the monastery is to copy the original text of the church the Bible the scripture to copy it to write it starting from Genesis all the way to revelation but history will teach us that there are only so many chapters and verses in a book just imagine that if all of us joined this church one by one and all of our job was to copy the Bible word for word it wouldn't be long by the time we got off of the first row that nobody would any longer be copying the original we'd all be copying copies you see we'd be copying copies and and the problem with that is and I'd be the first one to admit it that no one's perfect go back and check your last three text messages and see how many words you've misspelled most of us don't even know what you're saying when you text it we gotta send a question mark back thank God they added edit but you we're we're spelling their t-h-e-r-e when we should be spelling it th we're spelling t t o instead of t o o or sometimes t-w-o I don't know how you made that mistake but no one's perfect which means that by the time I get to Brandon he's copying what Lonnie wrote in the Lonnie misspelled a word then bran is going to misspell the word because he believes it's perfect so he's just copying [Music] a copy in other words the errors are passed on the errors are passed on and and here is what's amazing about this when I go back into canonical history and look at uh the original transcript of scripture most of us if many of us don't know that John chapter 7 and the last verse through John chapter 8 verse 11 are missing from the original text that means if you go back into history and find the original text when somebody was copying the original text some scribes somewhere intentionally left this part out of the Bible well this is a crime scene a woman is caught in the act of adultery and there are two groups of people who were at the scene one group is called the Pharisees the other group the scribes the scribes are responsible for writing the text now is there anybody in the room that finds it interesting that when the story was written about the people who were present at the crime scene it just so happens that the people who are writing left themselves out of the story [Applause] well if you had the ability to be guilty and also write law my question is wouldn't you leave you out to now I know a lot of people like to pretend they're honest but if you committed a crime and no well let me say not if when you committed that crime [Applause] and nobody witnessed it it ain't like you went to the police station and said I'd like to come in and confess to you that the cashier forgot to check one of the items in and I got home and found out that I didn't pay for it so I came back here to let you know no you said something like the Lord love his own children don't I mean he'd look out for his own it must be Jesus if you found ten thousand dollars on the street today you're not going to go down and ask Isaiah on Isaiah Factor listen I'd like to do a press conference to find out who this ten thousand belongs to you're gonna see that ten thousand say oh Jesus I knew you were gonna deliver the wealth of the wicked [Applause] I'll let your boy [Music] and so since there are errors in the text the scribes intentionally leave themselves out of the story because they are now part and parcel to a woman who's caught in the act of adultery you have to understand what adultery means in these days and times because today adultery will cost you 60 percent in those days it would have cost you a hundred including your life because those who were caught in adultery were to be stoned to death now here is the issue the Bible says in Leviticus chapter 20 verse 10 that if an adulterer or an adulteress is caught in the act of adultery that both of them should be stoned to death but the text the scribes when they were writing the errors were passed on we called a woman in the act of adultery now my question is if you caught her you have to catch him because having sex alone is not adultery that's masturbation oh no don't get quiet come on now I I knew when I said that y'all were gonna act funny but there's one quote that says 98 of people do it and the other two percent are liars so don't sit in here all holy like well I can't believe they do that you see how quiet it got it they be lying man I'm telling you people come to church and they just act like he talking to them no I'm talking to I didn't wait a month to come and talk to somebody else I waited a month to talk to you so so she's called the act of adultery well I still have a problem because there's a difference between fornication and adultery fornication is when people have sex that are not married adultery is when people are married and they have sex with somebody who's not their spouse so if this woman has been caught in the act of adultery it means that she's a married woman and there has to be another man involved in the situation but the scribes left it out my question is was he one of them [Music] but there has to be a reason why the the top secret documents have been redacted there has to be a reason why somebody was left out and there is a reason why they put her on Front Street so my mind got to thinking I said self myself said I said self why in the world would they report this story and leave the guy out of the situation this is this is problematic for the scribes to write the story and also be a part of the story this is what legal analysis will call a conflict of interest because you can never trust anybody to grade themselves [Applause] oh come on help me in here there if you ask everybody on your road what do you think about yourself I'm a good person you got to ask somebody else [Applause] because nobody in this room can be left to grade their own paper anybody remember being in school [Music] and the teacher will let you grade your own paper how many of y'all I meant C [Applause] Come on talk to me anybody know how to turn a e to a b [Applause] how many are old enough to remember Scantron sheets oh I didn't even color hard because I intended to correct my answers when we got it see you you smart people you you color too hard so even when you erase it left for Mark I shaded my answer because I knew if it came back wrong I was going to race and say uh uh sister Johnson I picked eight [Applause] so now either we're looking at y'all still with me either we're looking at the biggest mistake in canonical history or they omitted putting themselves in the story because they knew they had culpability they knew that they had a situation they left themselves out they left themselves out on purpose because watch this now the the monks that wrote what we're reading they are not the monks who were at the crime scene they only left John 8 out because of generation before them left it out and they only left it out because the generation before them left it out and they only left it out why because the generation before them left why because the errors were transferred and then the Lord spoke to me and he told me to tell you that is the reason for all of the trauma in this room this has just been passed it's been passed on you were not born distrustful you were raised by somebody who didn't trust people you were not born mean you were born to somebody who was hurt you you were not born feeling disgusted when you have intimacy with your partner you was raised by somebody who was raped and so what happens is is we transfer our errors and one of the things that is culpable in the black community is that slavery has been passed down from generation to generation and here we are a free people still acting like we're on boats but I don't know who I'm talking to in here today but I came to tell somebody it's time to put the devil in this place touch your neighbor say cut the hair up it's time for you to understand that just because your mama hated her husband don't mean you got a hate Choice Come on talk to me somebody just because your auntie was angry doesn't mean you have to be just because your father was nasty doesn't mean you have to be trifling it is time for those of us in the household of faith to understand that the curse has to stop with us slap three people to say it stops with me just because you were raised by people who did not balance their money don't mean you got to spend all of yours just because you were raised in poverty doesn't mean you have to act like it just because you were raised by an alcoholic doesn't mean you have to be an addict I'm speaking to people in this room today who understand that God has such an anointing on your life that you're going to be the first person in your family to break the curse that the devil has assigned to your last name if I'm talking to you make some noise in this place slap three people and say the curse stops with me the curse stops with me the curse stops with me I'm not going to spend all of my money and Rob Peter to pay Paul can't pay my bills I'm going to be the last person I'm telling you right now I'm speaking of your in your life your children are going to go further than you there is college tuition that's going to be paid for you're going to have the spirit of the Lord in you there are different things that are getting ready to happen in your life that has happened in anybody's life in the history of your family and you better get ready because not only is it going to shock them it's going to shock you [Applause] the errors are transferred but it's up to you to change it you do not have to be who raised you [Applause] I was talking about Buddy Ed and my father had a stroke at 52. my brother had an aneurysm at 50. and now the devil wants me to start thinking about 50 now see some of y'all gotta see you got a brother who died at 49 you have family members who had cancer and so the devil wants you worrying between where you are and where they got sick so that way he can denounce your purpose in between but I speak to you what happened to them ain't gonna happen to you touch your neighbor say I'm going to live and not die I don't know who this word is for I'm just trying to find out who came to church today to get delivered and what was going on in your family doesn't have to go on in your house just because your father didn't take care of you don't mean you're not going to take care of yours I am speaking a new dimension in this place let the redeemed of the Lord say so [Applause] [Music] they left after they left part of the story out they left part of the story out so they could appear to be holy they left a story out so that when people saw them sitting on the front row they would say hello brother Deacon hello sister so and so they left part of the story out so that people would think oh they must be God's people they must be holy they left part of the story out so that they could keep their reputation and some of y'all are sitting next to people right now and you think they're better than you let me give you some news the only reason why they appear to be better than you is because they left part of the story out [Applause] I want you to look at them folks who who got church clothes and you ain't got church clothes and say you might be dressed up but you ain't better than me you just left part of your story out yeah she got three children and she married but Daquan and Marcus got different daddies Come on talk to me somebody I I know she married with Children and yes that's her life now but she left out the two abortions and the miscarriage don't you ever feel insecure sitting next to somebody they only appear better than you because they ain't telling the whole story [Applause] I want you to shout in this place I'm not afraid to tell my truth I did it I was there I said it but thanks be to God that he looks beyond my faults any I can't I can't do church with no fake folk I need about 1 000 people who over the next 28 seconds will look at somebody sitting next to you and say I did it but I am this far by faith leaning and trusting [Applause] looking so you ain't better than me I don't care if you got a Chanel purse I don't care if you got Valentino shoes I don't care if the bottom of your shoes red you still dirty on the inside and greater is he that is in me than he that is it [Applause] don't you feel insecure because you just joined church last week and they've been in church 20 years and you coming here you feel insecure because you don't know the songs listen you might not know the songs but let me tell you people can be in church 28 years and still not know the Lord too many people come to church to learn the songs anybody want to learn the savior [Applause] don't you don't you feel insecure when you come to church all these holy rollers come to church early with a Bible in their arm I was glad when they said unto me let us go to the house of Lord you call a cell phone and they got this is the Holy Ghost headquarters thank you Jesus for calling I'm praying that the Lord will bless you on a voicemail with some Hennessy on the countertop they got a holy voicemail and their last search was PornHub I came to fight you don't give me no rest I'll fight all of you [Applause] [Music] we can't save the world if we keep trying to bring them to Jesus and accuse them when Pharisees are guilty of the same thing you're trying to expose the woman for [Applause] your suit don't make you say [Applause] and her mini skirt don't make her a devil [Applause] we got to get this stuff out to church I said we got to get it out of the church we judging people when they walk in how they dress how they look listen let them come get in the environment they will find out what is suitable for the environment but nobody wants to be getting a lesson on the first day of class [Applause] you can't give me an exam in church and school just started you got to teach me a lot of people grow up in church they ain't say [Applause] let me go further a lot of people shout in church and they ain't saved a lot of people bucking churches and and they still going to hell [Applause] and you got somebody sitting next to you right now they don't look churchy don't act churchy they don't know none of the songs we sung so far today and the day they die they're going to be with Jesus I got an issue with this text I got an issue with it because they expose this woman now in order for you to see that though you're gonna have to step out of your Jordans and put on your ancient sandals I I got a problem with this text because they they say they Tyrone we caught this woman in the act of adultery like how you call her how you just caught her it's like it's like one time somebody came up to me and I gotta admit it Jay-Z came to Houston and I was at the concert [Applause] I'm not black I'm OJ okay and I'm in there getting it I'm going crazy one of the members see me at HEB and she came up she said pastor I saw you after Jay-Z concert I said well if you saw me then I mean you must have been there too [Applause] I went on to say and if he come back I'm going again with better seats I was too far [Applause] me and my wife went to we was at a hotel and we walked up to the restaurant and Johnny Gill was sitting in the seat the first thing I couldn't even minister to him I was like I was at your concert when you was in Houston [Applause] my wife was looking at me she said what are you telling stuff I like to just tell it you tell your own story so can't nobody tell on you [Applause] so given the legal Enigma I got several search warrants that I need to issue before I make any arrests uh this woman that they caught her an act of adultery and now they want to they want to ostracize her but you know if you get a chance I want you to read this when you get home Matthew chapter 5 verse 28. this is what happens when people accuse you they called her an act of adultery but Matthew verse 5 28 says I say unto you that whatever whoever looking up on a woman or man to lust after them has already committed adulterior heart so so while they up here accusing her of what they saw her do physically the Bible lets us know that if you thought about it you did it now if adultery is what you thought adultery is committed by your thoughts then my question is how many adulterers do we just have in this room and online I'll wait all of you don't ever tell me you ain't looked at somebody who was built just like you want them to be built and you say oh Lord Jesus [Applause] see we do it differently guys this is how guys do it when a guy sees something he like he like [Applause] a woman women don't do it like us by the time you get close enough to a woman she's already seen you [Applause] so guys you don't even know she looked she saw him before he left the house somehow she saw through his door she saw by the time he got to you she acted uninterested because she already saw him and she looking at who you looking at too trying to see if she got the right underwear on trying to see if everything matched trying to see if her track's slipping [Applause] or you can't beat a woman looking so every woman every man in this room if you've committed adultery by the lust in your heart I'm trying to find out is there anybody in this room or online that has never looked at somebody who was not yours and has some sort of salacious thought because if you fit that baby you got to drop your stone if you fit that you gotta drop your stone you cannot pretend to be perfect just because we can't know what you think [Applause] in fact sometime I wish I had a technology where I can just pick random people and take your thought and put it on the screen what if I could do that what if I could just say uh uh think boom some of y'all will never come to church let me get out of here the text says that the woman was caught in the act of adultery can I just make one more claim and I'm going to finish if this was a married woman then where is her husband because the law said that the husband had to be the one to put her away let me prove it to you remember when Mary got pregnant by the Holy Ghost and all of a sudden she started Shawn and Joseph like now Mary you better do some explaining it here because I know we ain't never done nothing and you pregnant who's the daddy she said the Holy Ghost let me ask every man in here if your wife got pregnant and you had never been with her and she told you that it was the Holy Ghost baby how many of y'all I'm like thank you Jesus she says the Holy Ghost baby like what's his last name Holy Ghost who crazy name is that his first and middle name is Mama named him Holy Ghost where he lived and the Bible says that when she got pregnant by the Holy Ghost Joseph wanted to what put her away quietly because the rule was the husband had to be present to put her away the scripture doesn't say that her husband is present to put her away which gives me the inclination that this is not a married woman hmm yeah you were wondering what to Sir they were wondering what this subject was going to be about I actually believe that I know who the woman who's not named in the text is I believe sincerely that the woman in the text and I will give you my deductive reasoning as to how I came to the conclusion I believe the woman in the text is Mary Magdalene not only do I believe it but if you go back and check Catholic history in A.D 591 the Catholic Pope Gregory the first also announced that he thought and therefore sustained that the woman in the text was Mary Magdalene you can find that so then how could um unmarried woman be caught in the act of adultery could we have just discovered why Jesus did not condemn her the Bible says that Mary Magdalene was a woman who was possessed by seven demons seven is the number of completion which means she was completely under the control of a demon where she was uncontrollable she could not control herself which in today's legal Society you could claim Not Guilty by reason [Applause] come here and the Bible says in Leviticus come here I'm gonna tell you this loophole the Bible says in Leviticus that you cannot put a woman or a man to death for an involuntary sin so if she was addicted to sex and she was a prostitute then she could not be put to death because she was under the control of something else [Music] that's loophole number one number two then I say it must be her because is this why she was willing to look crazy breaking her Alabaster Box and giving a Year's worth of oil to a man she never met or is that the reason why when he died and all of his disciples left she stayed at the cross with his mother or is that the reason why when he died and was in the Tomb when nobody else showed up it was a woman who was at the grave early Sunday morning by the name of Mary Magdalene I came to preach to somebody in here today to tell you that the next time somebody asks you why are you always at church why you always crying why you always shouting you look at him and tell him because he delivered me you don't know what he's done for me you don't know how he exonerated me that's why I praise like I praise that's why I shout like I shout that's why I give like I give because you don't know what he brought me out of [Applause] thank you I suspect that this is Mary Magdalene and it would explain why she kept showing up for Jesus and spilling her oil and washing his hair with his feet you don't do that for a man you don't know she did it because when she was caught in the act of adultery he was there for her and since he was there for her she is now going to be there for him is there anybody in here that ever got away with stuff that wasn't exposed that just want to spend 30 seconds thanking God I'm gonna get I'm gonna turn my back on you I'm away is there anybody in here that the Lord didn't let them do you the way they wanted to do you they wanted to send you into an insane asylum but somehow you're still in the church shouting by the grace of God is there anybody want to give God glory because he did not expose you give your neighbor high five I'm just gonna give him 30 seconds of Praise some of y'all sitting next to the wrong neighbor I swear I wish you had the right one but I can't pick your friends I wish you would have said next to somebody else but look and look at somebody who don't look like they jealous who don't look like they sleepy who look like they've been through something and just spent 15 seconds shouting with him that God wrote both of y'all out just grab me he brought us both out he brought us both [Applause] I didn't always want to do it sometimes I was under the influence of something else sometimes it was how you were raised sometimes it's your perspective but thanks be to God and when God does that kind of Deliverance for you don't you get in here and be quiet [Applause] some of y'all got jobs you don't qualify for you don't got the resume for that job but he still bless you come on talk to me somebody [Music] some of y'all said you would never love again and then God sent Somebody To Love You Come on talk to me in here some of y'all were giving up on God but he didn't give up on you I just trying to find at least 500 people who will thank him and break your Alabaster Box in this place today I need somebody to wash his feet with your tears I need somebody to give God the glory watch this watch this I'm Gonna Make You shout even more Pastor not only do I think this is Mary Magdalene the one who is in the text I also think that the Mary who was related to Martha who's the sister of Lazarus is this Mary Magdalene that would explain why he walked four days to come see about a man who had been stinking in the grave because when you are a friend of God he can find you and will get to you no matter what the circumstance is I dare you praise God until he shows up I dare you give him glory until it shows up I dare you shout until it shows up [Applause] [Music] somebody say I'm insane I'm insane I'm insane I'm I'm insane I'm I'm dealing with my daddy's demons Come on talk to me I'm I'm insane I'm I'm dealing with my mama's trauma I'm in I'm insane this is how people did it in my family my auntie was like this I'm insane I know a lot of people want to pretend like your family ain't crazy and I know what goes on in this house is supposed to stay in this house but is there anybody here that can shout about being related to crazy folk anybody got at least two people that you can't bring to the picnic [Applause] when they ask you what church you go to uh we online just just online you don't even want to come in here embarrassing you didn't even invite him to the wedding because you thought they was going to steal the ring sometimes you are the Way You Are because of who you came from oh come on now this is I get can I Minister because you know how you can you're trying to figure out why am I like that the error was passed on here you are fighting with a demon that your mama gave you fighting with a demon that was in your daddy's DNA foreign and don't be mad at your mom and don't be mad at your daddy cause they got it from see here's one of the things about African-Americans most of us don't know our great grandparents some of us don't know our grandparents see the only way you can know your parents is if they explain to you by the person who raised them but when you don't have a relationship with them see this is what slavery did to us it prevented us the ability to go back and find out why we are the way we are that's why we don't have no buildings with our name on them like JP Morgan and Chase it isn't that smart it is bright is that it's that we can't go back and find our history and find out that we are connected to that which we admire she's under the control of a demon she's insane she can't help herself Paul even declared that he was insane Romans 7-19 he said for the good I want to do I do not but evil which I would not that I do now if I do don't that sound insane what I would it's it's no more than I do but sin that dwelleth in me I find then alone when I would do good evil is pres how many of you every time you want to do good here comes some devil [Applause] every time you want to get your life together here comes an offer you have a every time you feel like you're on the right track Here Comes somebody make you go back how many of y'all got them people in your life that every time they it just hurt you every time they say something you just want to choke them just within two inches of life not murder but almost and you got a temper and you can't find out why you get mad so fast but your daddy gave you that demons warlocks principality we wrestle not what am I talking about I'm talking about patterns I'm talking about patterns I'm talking about every time you get in an argument you're thinking about divorce because that's what you Lord help me in this place see we most of us we didn't get divorced because we were upset we got divorced because that was the family pattern because of the pattern was you stay you would have patterns patters you eat bacon that's a pattern now you trying to break the pattern talking about you a vegan still eating steak let me tell you something I'm so tired of you part-time vegans I don't know what to do either you're going to be one or you ain't gonna be one I'm a vegan but I eat no no everything after but is you ain't it I'm a pescetarian that eats chicken sometimes huh y'all got time [Applause] this woman is not guilty by reason of insanity that's why Jesus didn't put it to death because she was under the control of a demon she's under the control of a demon now it looks at verse two and three says that that when Jesus was in the temple teaching them and and they interrupted him remember he's up there teaching all right today we're going to talk about the law the ten laws thou shall not kill thou shall not steal thou should not commit adultery uh Jesus since we're on the side we had found this woman caught in the very Act of adultery now my question for you is if Jesus is in the temple and they have a woman caught in the act of adultery in the temple with her is this an accident or is this a sting operation yeah they didn't plan this already so they say now the reason why they do this is because if Jesus does stone her to death then he messes up his reputation if he does not then he breaks the law so they are actually not after her [Applause] they're actually after him can I tell you something in this place today that the devil will come after everything in your life because he's actually trying to get to you but I want to tell you no weapon formed against you oh I can't get no church in here today no weapon formed against you shall be able to prosper touch your neighbor say it won't work it won't work [Applause] if you got a pen write this down Jesus says he's in the temple he's teaching they interrupted him while he was teaching Jesus we caught this woman in the act of adultery Jesus is teaching and they interrupted the class can I give you the definition of a hater [Music] the definition of a hater now remember Jesus is teaching they interrupt his class to try to teach him the definition of a hater is somebody who's teaching when they should be learning that's what you need to understand about the people who always hating on you what they sing what they're trying to teach you they should actually be learning from you that that's all a hater is a hater is a confused friend it's somebody who really admires you [Music] but they can't admit they admire you so they have to turn it [Applause] because if I wasn't worth anything why am I worth your attention [Applause] all of your haters are people who try to teach you who don't have the courage to learn from you why are you hating on me I could teach you how to dress as you look a mess while you hating on me I could teach you how to raise your children because yours are bad if if you if if you would stop looking at me as as a as a person who doesn't have anything to offer and admit the fact that you like what I have to offer [Applause] never trust anybody who wants to teach when they should be learning have you ever been around somebody the moment you start telling them what God did for you they got to interrupt you with their story let me tell you what God did for me and for me too because let me tell you you better get away they jealous real friends that you have your moment show moment it's your time we caught her in the act of adultery Jesus says okay since y'all want to bring her sin up y'all forgot I'm Jesus and I know everything and I know that y'all left part of John chapter 8 out so Jesus bends down in the ground and finishes the chapter and the Bible says he begins to write the names of the men who are at the crime scene see they ain't never gonna get away they can leave themselves out but Jesus gonna write them in [Applause] Jesus starts to write their name and next to their name he writes their sin and the Bible says that this is what they did they Rock when they seen their name and their sins [Applause] I can't wait until the day that the church will drop the rocks [Music] I can't wait until y'all drop your rocks Imma Stay right here touch your name and say drop your rock we ain't got nothing to judge me on we are both messed up we are all tore up we all have sinned the church has to drop its rocks [Applause] oh the Bible says from the eldest to the youngest so the old fellas dropped they Rock first the senior Statesman all the way down to the rookies everybody dropped their rocks you know why because when you see your sin in an amazing when I'm preaching on Sunday sometimes Carl I'm preaching and and when I'm talking about stuff people don't do they going crazy but when I get on their sin I'll be preaching something about oh you know you shouldn't you shouldn't do this and they'd be like yeah and don't get drunk yeah and don't do that and and you shouldn't be living with people you ain't married with and this is this is this is what's messing up Christianity is because no matter what the Bible says now we go to what we feel yeah but it's better to just have uh one income and and and and and and it don't make sense if we're gonna be over each other's house uh every day anyway for us to both be paying rent so now we justify [Applause] what and what's wrong with the church now ain't no such thing as Sin no more ain't no sin you just do whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it the Lord know your heart you ain't got to get better you just can keep doing whatever you want to do and you can pray but you gotta understand that you ain't gonna have no power [Applause] at some point in time you're going to have to turn over a new Leaf at some point in time old things are going to have to pass away and at some point in time all things are going to become new and by the way you know a lot of people ain't shouting today because they want a church that won't rebuke them you want a church where there is no rebuke there is no reproof a person just come to church to tell you God loves you let me tell you God ain't no Santa Claus he's a redeemer [Applause] some of those habits you're gonna have to drop and that might mean dropping some people because some people are your habits [Music] [Applause] for those who are on online let me tell you only about 20 of the room is standing up right now 80 of them done checked all the way out I'm talking to you now this is a problem we can't get better because we keep on erasing parts of the story we keep coming to church and we keep showing up like that part of our life didn't happen and then you want to have a mentoring program but you don't want to be honest now you got five mentees but you're only telling them about the part where you made money can you tell them about the trap house can you tell them about the weed that that was in your glove compartment when you got pulled over can you tell them about how many partners you wish you would not have been with can you tell them about your STD come and holler at show boy can you tell them about the time you got so drunk just don't know how you got home and I'm not talking about last week I'm talking about last year [Applause] this is why this is why the church has lost its power because we keep leaving part of the story out [Applause] most of us God ain't looking for perfect people if he was looking for Perfect People this story would be about him sitting with the Pharisees and not the prostitute [Applause] he's sitting with her because she's sitting with him she's with him like Lord listen it wasn't adultery but it was something I mean I was doing something it wasn't what they called it but they caught me doing something they named it wrong but it was me come on y'all come I'm trying to finish such it it I didn't do what they said I did but I did something stop acting innocent because they had the wrong accusation [Music] [Applause] she like it was me but I didn't do what they said I did I I didn't not do nothing I just didn't do raise your hand if I'm talking to you I'm just looking I'm I'm not flawless but I ain't perfect I ain't as bad as they said I was but I ain't as good as I think I am [Applause] I got issues I got issues and I can't figure out why they won't leave me I've watched Dr Phil I've read books I watch podcasts I'm on YouTube I'm doing everything I can I still wake up in the morning evil I still wake up in the morning angry I'm getting bitter and not better and what's worse as I'm asking people not to judge me while I can't help but judge people as you'd be surprised how many people who don't want to be judged who wear black robes with gavels I ain't do that I ain't do what they said but I did [Music] I did something Jesus said baby you ain't got to explain yourself to me I know you dirty but no listen but that's where my relationship with Humanity started oh you remember the last time we saw God bending down in the dirt he was creating Adam and now we see him back in the dirt again all of you perfect people I want you to know you have no room in the Kingdom because God likes to play in the dirt he looking for somebody he can save Jesus is looking for somebody he can heal anybody want to just say father I'll stretch my hand to thee no other help I know if you withdraw yourself from me I don't know where I did something but I ain't do that I didn't I didn't do what they they said I did Psalms 51 you ain't got to sit down I'm done Psalms 51 says this is one of my favorite scriptures because the Bible says that God showed us Mercy according to his loving kindness and into the multitude of his Tender Mercies watches the Bible says he blotted out are transgressions Pastor all of my life when I read this text I majored on the writing I never paid attention to the Bowing the Bible says that he bowed down and begin to write in the dirt and in Psalms 51 I found out that the Hebrew word for Bowing is Tender Mercies and loving kindness the word blot Out means to erase it literally meant that God will bend over backwards to erase your mess Lord Jesus the reason why this sermon ain't working for some of y'all it's because you ain't put yourself in the place of the woman called you still think you're the Pharisee but anybody in here who puts yourself in the woman situation want to thank God over the next 15 seconds that he will bend over to erase your mess imma give you 30 seconds somebody in the balcony anybody want to give God the glory that he will bend over to blot out your transgressions find somebody who looks like they got the Holy Spirit and shake them and hold them and hug him and say I'm glad that God looked beyond my faults [Music] come on find somebody else come on find somebody else the Bible says Behold the Lamb of God was taken away the sins of the world somebody shout he blotted it out he blotted it out he bought thank you how many of y'all ever been accused by anybody [Music] how many of y'all ever been lied on how many of you were mad when they did it [Applause] he said oh heck yeah he ain't say heck either I'm with you bro hey get it how you live bro you are upset about nothing they exposed her but they didn't know Celine they were doing her a favor because while they were exposing her guess what they did for her they took her to Jesus I'm trying to tell you that the people who hate on you are only introducing you to another another level of Glory that you would have not seen if they didn't try to Stone you I need about eight people in here to start giving God the glory that what the devil meant for evil God turn it around for your good give your neighbor a high five and Shout neighbor not guilty by reason of insanity I'm not saying I didn't do it said he looked beyond my faults and his son my needs grab a neighbor by the head look him right in the eye Shadow neighbor oh neighbor you don't know what he brought me through I feel all right I don't know where he brought me from you don't know wait pick me up dusted me off pick me up turn me around place my feet on a solid ground I need you to find somebody on your road who understands that they're not saved because they're perfect they're saved about the grace of God Rock them and reel them reel them and rock them Rock them and reel them reel them and rock them Rock them in real them in rock come on Rock them and reel them will them interrupt him Rock them in real man real woman y'all missing it Rock'em and Rhythm rock rock rock oh Christ the son of the rock casting is there anybody in here that wants to give the rock to praise open your mouth and give God the praise shout yeah [Music] I feel something happening I feel 300 people in the room about to get a breakthrough after I say this I'm done remember when I was 14 years old announced my calling to preach I had to announce it to a man who never acknowledged me about to help somebody if you don't know my story I spent my whole life in the church where the pastor was my father but he never acted like a father I told the church I was his son and when the Lord called me I had to announce it to a man who never acknowledged me [Music] are y'all praying with me but I stand here today realizing that I didn't need his acknowledgment I feel glory in him that I had been seen by somebody who looked beyond my fault and saw my need grab your neighbor shall neighbor you didn't need it that's why God didn't let you have it you might have wanted it but it wasn't in your destiny anybody in the room wanna go higher I feel the glory of God [Music] I feel the glory of God because the Bible says at the end of the story everybody dropped their Rock and walked away and after it was all over she was the only one left standing [Music] say it one more time they came to condemn hurt but they left condemned be not deceived God is Not mocked whatever man sows [Music] be not weary in your well-doing for you will Reaper Harvest and you faint don't give up [Music] foreign [Music] that my father called me and I couldn't call him father [Applause] think about that and most of y'all would have missed your calling because you'd have been too proud and too angry and hurt to have to submit to somebody who hurts you [Music] I had to submit my Ministry to a man who died without ever paying child support and you can ask anybody I've been other than my siblings I've been knowing this we've been knowing each other 42 years my daddy is his uncle his daddy is my father's nephew [Music] my name is Keon his name is seon my father didn't raise me and his didn't raise him it was passed I'm gonna let him tell his own story but God had us coming together for 42 years and we didn't even know it if I told you his story you say how did two people in the same family go through the same thing did not somebody see the error but sometimes your name has to be dragged through the dirt your heart has to be broken I'm tired anybody ever had your heart [Music] I know some of y'all ain't gonna be honest but the purpose of the story because if we're gonna break these patterns we got to be honest the truth is it almost drove you to hatred I just wanted to go to heaven too bad to hate my sisters will tell you my sister's here right now Kiana we got the same father I spent most of my childhood trying to keep her from hating Our Father she couldn't get Beyond what he did not do see most of your trauma ain't because of what somebody did to you is because of what they didn't and I would look my sister in the eye and realize that I wasn't I was born her brother but I was called to be a father and I would tell her you can't hate them you cannot hate him [Music] because he who is without sin the only way you can judge him is to be Flawless and if you have any sin you have to drop your rock [Music] if you ain't flawless you can't be the judge I don't care what they did to you I went to him 28 years ago at 2323 West 11th Avenue and said to him [Music] the Lord has called me to preach and he looked at me and he said I've known it your whole life [Music] he said I used to hold you in my hand he said you would eat two bottles before you would even get full I looked at him and I said [Music] you healed me I said yeah for the first two years of your life I was there didn't know [Music] because hurt will blind you [Music] and hurt will make you forget things you know [Music] they used to call me Dr key that was my nickname [Music] and it was him on a Sunday morning this Sunday 28 years ago he put me in the pulpit and let me preach 10 minutes before he preached his sermon in front of 1200 people [Music] and I preached a sermon called Faith where is yours and the entire time I was battling between fighting him and preaching the word [Music] and I have it on recording now I've never told a soul this on my phone right now when he was dying I laid in the bed with him wiped the food from his mouth wiped the tomatoes off of his T-shirt the last meal I saw him eat was a small pork chop with Laurie's seasoning salt and a tomato it was all it could eat and I saw him pushed a button on his chair because he couldn't stand up he the chair lifted him up and he walked up two steps [Music] around the corner took another left went around the bed to his side of the bed and laid down and he whispered to me and said son I'm so sorry [Music] I've got it on my phone I recorded every word of it he said I'm so sorry I didn't acknowledge you I was too weak of a man and at that moment everything I had built up in me began to release because I realized that I was a weak Man Too [Music] and people say to me all the time how could you forgive somebody who did you like that he who was without sin let him cast the first stone you're gonna have to break this pattern are you not gonna get your promise and I know you think your life is good but God's got so much more that he wants to give you you're gonna have to break your mama's curse on you not for her you're gonna have to break it on you [Music] and I give my mother all the glory and praise that you can give an Earthly person because never once in my life did she say anything negative to me about him listen and even though he wasn't a father she knew that I was a minister and she knew that I needed to be in a house where the favor of God would be on my life and someone would teach me and everything I know about the Bible he taught me because sometimes a person can't be what you need for them to be but they can be what they know how to be he didn't know how to Father me but he knew how to teach me to be a preacher and so I stand here today [Music] wishing I could go wake him up out of the grave and say to him it was good that I was afflicted [Music] I want to thank you for never making a basketball game I want to thank you that we grew up five blocks from each other but you never came in my house I want to thank you that I've never been on a family vacation with you I want to thank you that you never put a pair of shoes on my feet while you drove businesses and Cadillacs I want to thank you that while you were living in your five bedroom house we were we were trying to bomb our house just to kill the roaches just to go to sleep at night I want to thank you because had he lived long enough I could have took care of the man who didn't take care of me [Applause] and now everything he didn't give my mother [Applause] I am able to do because I dropped my rock picked up my calling and I am no longer the same if there's anybody in this place today who understands this testimony and you feel something in it I just want you begin to raise your hands if you're online I want you to look at me in the eye through the screen and I just want you to say Lord help me break this pattern Lord help me break this pride and I don't want to be like this I don't want to be like this I don't want to do this I don't want to I don't want to be known as this kind of person I don't want to do it I wanna I won't overcome it it wasn't my fault but it is my life it is my destiny I need to do better I've got to do better I've got to get over this hurt I got to get over this trauma my children are depending on it my wife sees it in me my husband sees it in me I gotta do it I've got to do it this is my season protein come on lift those hands in this place so that I want you to get to worship him in this place he broke the chains he broke the change he brought the chain s aw got a new way of thinking he's wrong that every situation like he's running he's breaking people [Music] [Music] who would be honest to say you carry trauma with you daily [Music] God wants to do so much with you and you can't change that which you don't acknowledge you can't hide it from God you can hide it from us you can't hide it from God foreign God said I have come that you may have life [Music] and have it more abundantly you see sometimes you think you think that you you hate the person it's just an era that was passed down to you that that somebody said some kind of colloquialism in your house we don't go back [Music] we don't double dip everybody had got those family sayings that you say to yourself unconsciously not knowing that the error was passed down I'm able to have a healthier relationship with my wife because I confronted those voices in my head [Music] false masculinity that makes you think that's the only way you can win is to be hard Brothers I'm telling you right now softer works way better than hard and when you know who you are you don't have to walk around proclaiming it I don't have to walk around my house talking about I'm the man of this house she know who the man of the house is trauma [Music] because of what happened to somebody else I released the demons over your life I released The Possession over your life you do not have to operate according to what you saw in your house the Bible says behold I do a new thing somebody said God do a new thing do a new thing do a new thing in my house do a new thing in my marriage do a new thing in my family do a new thing in my money do a new thing in my body I'm not getting breast cancer I'm not
