have the emery's come here yesterday after men's retreat we had a wonderful friday night we had a great saturday him and i were able to go out spend a little time together and just got to talking and one of the things i told him is i want to get you on the calendar to come by here about every three or four months and give us a good shot in the art and you know what he agreed to do it that's even better isn't it so yeah i i i he's 67 and i met him when i was in my 20s so that we go back a ways and um but there's just so many wonderful good qualities about him and sister emory and together they make a fantastic representation of what men and women of god should be and we are so honored today we are so honored today to bring a friend and a great man of god to this pulpit to minister and i really don't need to say this but i want to say it and that is when he steps in here he can preach anything he wants i have that kind of trust in him and and i'll learn from him and we'll worship god

group for allowing us to come and do a couple of sessions with the men um i did preach to him a sermon called the smith that i might want to by come back preach to the whole church it's a really good

he's placed in your church for you today i know sister haney's not here but i i already know she's first class lady she's not just only the first lady the first you know but she's the first class

guys help me preach are y'all going to make me y'all going to make me preach all by myself y'all going to help me i don't i think i'm going to be real it's going to be real tough today i'll try that again i'm just going to help me not just look at me all right all right romans chapter 13 verse 11 now that knowing the time that now everybody's saying now with a little bit more say now yeah it's one time put some grits in there i don't what's this with putting shrimp and grits grits what is y'all ain't from the south what's with putting sugar in grits that's abomination will not go to heaven now it is high time to wake out of sleep for now everybody said now is our salvation nearer than when we believe i just want to talk to you on a simple subject now is the time it's going to be very simple now is the time because i feel like we're all waiting on something we're all trying to look for a sign in the sky when are we going to get over this and when we're going to come to that and what you know what you'll be waiting in there for a long time if you don't make up your mind right now this is our time right now we don't have to wait till the virus is over we can shout right now we don't have to wait till the virus is done and start witnessing now is i'm feeling the holy ghost already but it's stopping preaching look at your neighbor say neighbor check your watch because now is the time why don't you clap your hands and shout until the lord with the voice to try [Music] you may be seated thank you for standing i don't know about you but i am glad to be in church i am glad to be an apostolic i'm glad i've been baptized in jesus name and filled with the holy ghost i'm glad i know who jesus is and there's only one of him and he's the only one i wish i had somebody to help me preach this morning i don't know about you but i am glad to be saved today i have no complaints god has been good to me i feel like shouting i feel like running i don't have no problems i don't have no i wish somebody help me now i'm not going to be walking around with my head down like my life is over we have just begun to fight somebody need to understand the church is about to wake up and serve the devil notice we're gonna have revival we don't care what you throw our way we are the church of the living god we will prevail we have victory in the name of jesus do i got a church up in here that'll stand on your feet and say now is the time hallelujah our god is an all-knowing god he's all-powerful he is a self-sustaining in the invisible creative being somebody's amen we cannot explain his existence yet we still believe that he is the one and true god i am i am a creationist i do not believe that i came out of the primal pool of evolution i believe that god spoke everything that we see no fear and smell into existence by the power of his word i believe that his word is greater than anything that's ever been created and all things are held together by the power of the word of the lord faith bridges the gaps between what we know and the things we cannot explain but actually we believe to be true you can't explain everything in the bible to some people's satisfaction because it takes faith to believe that there is a god you cannot explain god you have to have faith and then when you have faith god gives you a revelation of who he is and what he is and what he does without a revelation of the one true god you'll think there's three or four or five or six but when you get to revelation you know there's only one god and jesus is his name can i get an amen right now through faith we understand that the worlds were framed the everything that we were seeing was framed by the power of god's word when he spoke it he he decreed it he declared it then he would demonstrate he would decree means it formed in the mind of god and then declared out of the mouth of god and then it was demonstrated by the power of god by the power of his arm somebody say amen everything that we see from the secessions of the ages were framed and fashioned and put in order equipped with the intents of one purpose that everybody know that there is a god that reigns i don't know about you but some people think we're running out of time time is a function it is something that causes reality light alone is eternality darkness alone is eternality but when you mix them there's a function it has called time it's the tick-tock of the clock i want you to understand that every year everybody say every year everybody in here gets 12 months somebody shout amen you get 12 months 52 weeks 365 days 525 million minutes 31 billion seconds of time i have one question for you what are you doing with your time we always say i don't have enough time in the day but you don't that's a lot of times you know you're doing something else with your time than what you're not supposed to be doing the book of kelly edges says time and chance happens to us all everything has this proper season appointed by god somebody shout amen amen god is is not a man he's not powerless he knows exactly what he's doing the world chance what is that everything that says time and chance happiness to us all seems to in kind of convey the impression that things happen without some measure of control but i want you to know that god is still in control it does not matter what happens in time god it's not end time time is actually in god i'm going to mess some of y'all up here in just a minute i said god is not in time time is in god god is outside of time that means that it doesn't matter what happens to me god's already seen it he's already there's no mistakes that's going to happen i mean time and chance does not happen to people of god god happens to us amen god created time to control everything and we say that time is money well i often have more time than i have money but time actually is more expensive than money time is more precious than money because if i run out of money i can always make some mo but if you run out of time your time is gone so time is an expensive thing and we need to understand that now it is high time if you ever thought about doing anything for god now now is what the time if you ever thought about witnessing now is the time if you ever thought about teaching the whole bible study [Music] [Applause] come on somebody if you ever thought about doing something from god what are you waiting on then oh we're waiting on the virus to get over don't wait on the virus they don't know nothing now is the time there are people home there are people hungry for god now there are people that's looking for god now there's people that's looking for the church now they're not waiting on the the virus to get over they're looking for the church because of the vibe they're looking for the church because they've been in the hospital and the devil doesn't know how to do it and the doctor don't know how to do it and they're looking for somebody saying is there a jesus still alive and the church i come to tell you if there's ever a time the church needs to stand up and be the church and now is that i wish i had somebody help me preach up in here if you're looking for some sweet pause oh like oh no no no no you got the thug up in the house you got the gangster up in here i come to tell the devil you ain't nothing you ain't going nowhere the church is here we will not we will not be seated we will not be quiet we will not go darkly into the night we will not be silent we i wish i had a real church up in here today somebody ought to stand on your feet i will not be defeated god is on my side let me tell you what's going on there's some of you right now waiting and there's something beating in your heart you want to teach a bible study but you're waiting you want to witness it but you're waiting i don't know what you're waiting on so maybe you're waiting on me to tell you to get up and do it now if you're scared go get the vaccination whatever you got to do whatever makes you cool the vaccination is not the mark of the beast oh oh a lot of y'all don't know nothing about the bible do you that's not the mark of the beast it's a vaccine girl same thing when you get a flu shot if that's what's keeping you back there go get the shot and let's roll up in here whatever you got to do you're waiting get a bible you got a whole college over there and i got about thousand tons of bible studies for you to preach get that little bible chart in your arm walk in somebody's house says jesus sent me over to talk to you about jesus oh y'all don't believe that see we're sitting around waiting when in fact this now is the time we're sitting around waiting for something more something less or something different what i'm preaching to you today it's time to quit waiting it's time to get up declare this is our hour wow they don't believe this stuff bishop this is our hour this is our day i wish i had somebody help me believe let me tell you you see the virus came to separate the real from the unreal the virus came to separate those who know god from those who just think they know god the virus came to show who the real church really is because the real church has been through pandemics all throughout its history and always came out on the other are we the church then you let the devil know i'm coming out you if paul and silas can come out of a jail at midnight i know the church can come up do i have a church up in here right now you ought to stand up right now and tell the devil with the mass or without a mass i'm coming out with the virus or not a virus i'm coming out with a vaccine or no vaccine i'm coming out i'm not a democrat or republican i'm coming i am a one god jesus name apostolic born again i wish i had some help in here you let listen we're not politicians in here we are born again christians let the world deal with that we're not dealing with the world we're dealing with heaven i normally get myself in trouble but hey i'm marvin gaye i am the troubled man if you're laughing that means you know what i'm talking about y'all been in the world too long paul said you better wake up now why we are living everybody say moments there is a syncopation in time where eternity and time mixes where chronos mixes with aerials where it's eternity here time but they will mix i call it the god moment it's when god invades our time it's all through the bible this continual flow is merged with the tick-tock of the clock mama you're looking sharp over there i almost miss you yeah you that's that's the lady right there girl you looking sharp girl hey ladies that's a woman of god right there you want to know what to do you check that's the that's the woman of god right there that's a girl right there esau and jacob everybody said one moment esau and jacob they're encapsulated esau comes out of the wilderness jacob is there by the fire and he poses him this is a god moment when time intersects with eternity and right there right there esau trades his eternal birth right for a bowl of soup in time not realizing that the birthright was eternal and the bowl of soup was only going to last as quick as he ate it sometimes we're intersected if you're not careful you'll trade something that's eternal for something that won't last no more than a few minutes when he realized what he had done it was too late to claim it back the church is standing in a crossroads let us not miss our god moment i see i'm gonna have to i'm gonna have i'm have to hurt i'm gonna have to get it for you here moses passes by a burning bush it was a god moment now moses go back to that bush that bush ain't burning no more don't go try to fry in israel over there trying to find moses bush see moses is going to talk that bush going to talk to you know you run or some bush start talking you'd be running down wit coming off everything i don't want to miss my god moment that god moment is when god deals with your heart you know it's god you hear that voice in your head it's time for you to get back you okay jesus that's that's your god moment don't be playing with you know what when you hear it respond to it when god talks to you say yes lord your servant his that's what samuel said he heard that voice said hey here i am don't miss your god moment somebody shout amen we cannot go back in time to get it up to get it back to give it over if you use it you cannot afford to waste your time so now is the time to wake up get up stand up pray up shout up worship up i wish i had somebody helping quit waiting on something now is the time to live for god now is the time not to be reckless or foolish or careless now is the time to make sure our soul has purpose and we have power in god it takes only one moment to change your whole life somebody shout amen [Applause] revelations 12 and 12 says walk to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea for the devil has come down unto you having great wrath because he knoweth that his time is not that he has but a short time as we get closer to the end of time with we're in the convergence of it time will seem to fly by a lot quicker if we're not careful the enemy will try to make us we're short of time but we have the same amount of time as he does the term wrath here does not mean what you think it means it means it doesn't mean anger it says the devil has come down with a renewed passion to destroy us if our enemy has renewed passions why are we not renewing our passion [Applause] if the devil is renewing his passion to destroy me i'm going to get to the altar and get renewed in the power of the holy ghost to destroy him some of you ain't been up here in a long time some of you haven't prayed in the la he told me to preach like i wanted to preach i'm already some of you haven't prayed in a long time i don't know what you're waiting on i don't know what's happening to you or the less you pray the more advantage the devil's got over you you cannot exist on your pastor's prayer you have to pray for do i have to stay here or somebody gonna come you can't hey quit running around the church say pray for me nobody can pray for you if you don't pray it's not going to happen nobody can pray for you we can pray with you but we cannot pray for you so if you don't pray you have no power little prayer little power no prayer no power much prayer much power now is the time if you ever thought about an inner being an intercessor now is the time you ever thought about being a prayer warrior now is the time you ever thought about being a soul winner now is the time you ever think you got a call and you're not now is the time to jump up and say i got a call i need to know what to do with you go talk to your bishop he'll tell you exactly what to do if you're thinking like i gotta get myself together now is the time quit waiting time is passing you by the devil's gonna single you out but i come to tell the devil you don't want none of this right here somebody ought to be jumping up your feet right now because you know i'm talking to you the devil's been on your back telling you it's time to get up you need to stomp your feet i'm not giving up i will not go into the darkness you can't he can't stop you you have to give up you can't if you don't give up you will win you just stay in the race just keep running keep moving keep praying keep shouting keep dancing if you stop you lose but if you keep going we win we don't have time to do what israel did and waste 40 years in the wilderness god says tell them to go they're coming out of egypt they could hear pharaoh's army at the grinding of the chariots moses had did seven miracle wonders in egypt and they still had doubt what does god have to do come around the altar on a little unicycle popping wheelies as they go hey some of y'all wouldn't move it john the baptist come down the middle out you just still who is that that's john the baptist oh he don't look like i thought he looked like seriously sometimes it takes too much to move us all i need is a little that's enough from hoses jesus is in the house i don't need a bomb boom i know i just need call my name jesus and i'm i'm feeling who am i talking to up in here god's right now i might just go y'all messing with me so i'll tell you what i feel some god's been talking to some of you and you just been sitting there not and trying to ignore him i'm going to tell you what i'm going to release the hounds of hell on you if you don't stand up right now and say god i know you're talking to me i know what i'm supposed to be doing and i'm going to pray right now come on get up now come on get up i'm going to get james brown get up get on up hey man you need to throw your hands in the air said god i receive whatever you have for me hey i know you're like me i'm not worthy but if he wants to give it to me bring it on down send it on down lord let the holy ghost fall on down somebody said let it fall on me right now in the name of jesus if you had a need of renewing of the holy ghost raise your hand and say fall on me holy ghost right now one more time because now is the time i feel at times like ezekiel who have the impossible task of preaching to a valley filled with disconnected disfigured scattered bones a graveyard filled with death there was no testimony of revival or resurrection a dead place without one victory without one testimony and god as insult to injury by asking the prophet can these bones live again easy eagle say oh no i'm sorry from the projects y'all y'all know that uh street guy straight guy with like a really nice suit on and a really funky tie just a straight guy straight guy and a cool tie how about that son of man can these bones live again i don't know man i don't know so he says but you know see the devil is trying to trick some of you that you can't do what god's called you to do he's got you laying in that valley of dry bones scattered but i come to tell you if god said it he can do it so he says prophesy to the bones i i know that sounds cute in the bible but i couldn't bishop i could not imagine going to a graveyard with all these bones stacked up and they're dried and bleached and scattered all over the place and he goes like prophecy i don't know what am i supposed to say to him dinner time like the mom's gonna jump no no so he says prophesy to the bones and and he just said old dry bones because i wouldn't like having my bible out and going through my concordians checking all the commentaries trying to look for the other prophets what they prophesied to bones when when they was in you understand what i mean get on the phone hey man you have a problem sign the dry bones and the dares and dragon right now what did you say to them man you say oh ye dry bones hear the word of the lord what are you trying to say it's not complicated it's very simple if god said it he can do it prophesy to the bones can i preach to you for a moment i can hear ezekiel said o tribones he the word of the lord the word lots and lils and not die the word of the lord said get up from where you are because now is the time oh dry bones hear ye the word live and not die and the bible said there was a shaking in the valley oh somebody ought to jump on your feet say god shake me come on get up out of that sick come on get up get on up and say god shake me one more time move me one more time i'm like dry bones in the valley but this day i'm going to hear the word of the lord and the bible said the bones

why do we need this upgrade why am i keep saying it's creasing because our everything we is is about authority dominion and power it you know it's actually time that we get a hold of god so strongly that we bring down some strongholds in our life some of you been dealing with the same thing for 50 years it's time to get rid of it not only do i want to uh spiritual strongholds but also there's some generational curses that we need to cut down and bring down there's some bad habits and social learned behaviors that keep us from reaching our full potential in god as sophisticated as the phony as what is an android or apple all of those or can have what they call viruses in them they mess up the whole complex of the phone [Music] if you go to your general settings on the iphone and go all the way down it has two functions when there is a virus inside of that phone it says the last thing you can push says shut down but the thing right before it says reset we've had a virus in our world a pandemic viral situation and we have two functions as a church we can shut down or we can reset [Applause] i made up my mind shutting down if not an option i'm gonna say that again shutting down is not an option stop praying that's shutting down it's not an option i'm not getting any amens don't make me preach all over again [Applause] i'm resetting resetting my prayer life resetting my fast days what are you saying i'm i refuse to die here today because this is the perfect time this is the right time this is high time this is the time right now is the time if we're going to do it this is our i know it doesn't seem like it i know it doesn't even feel like it but god goes past our feelings and our sight he said what are you trying to say i'm trying to say there were four lepers at a wall there was no food anywhere and one of them got the bright idea if we sit here we're going to die going back to the city is not an option well we just let's just going to the enemy's camp and then are you crazy they're going to kill us we're going to die already we're going to die already how are you going to kill somebody already then if you're dead in christ the devil can't kill you no more i'm wasting all my good stuff on y'all i mean this is this they really paid me to do this you know that right i'm placing my good stuff how is the devil gonna kill something that's already dead you need to be dead to the world dead to your flesh jesus probably said where did y'all get that food from and he says to them if we sit here we will die i come to tell christian life center going back to 2019 is not an option [Music] and i come to tell you staying here is and i'm not talking about the building honestly i want to talk about the environment that's not an option either the option is we get up we quit complaining we wipe the tears from our eyes and say okay jesus where are we going now cause i'm ready to get up i don't know who i'm talking to i'm i need some men to pull the sword out of your scavenge start sharpening that sword i'm ready for war you mess with my wife long enough you mess with my kids long enough i wish somebody helped me preach in here i need some real men from

sitting here too long i've got to get up i've got to get going i've got to make a difference something's going to if you if if we don't do it it's not going to get done we are the church of the living god and if the devil has come down having great passion what should the church be doing our passion to destroy the works of the enemy has to be greater than what the devil can do to us [Music] if you own fire you can't be put on fire cause you already on fire so the fires of temptation can't stop you the fire of the flesh can't stop you because you already have an eternal fire called the holy ghost that's greater than anything the devil can come up with i wish somebody nods ahead and say amen [Applause] i didn't know i had that many young people in here let me let me let me appreciate
