One New Man - Bishop T.D. Jakes

[Music] tonight we're going to the book of ephesians chapter 2 and we're going to do a lot of reading verse 1 through 15 of ephesians chapter 2 verse 1 through 15. when you have it say amen [Music] i'll wait on you because i want you to have a relationship with your bible so let's go get it and you heavy quicken i love i wrote i chose the king james version for this because i love the language and you have he quickened which means made alive it doesn't mean to quicken hallelujah it means to be made alive and you had the quicken who were dead in trespasses and sins wherein in times past she walked according to the course of this world according to the prince of the power of the air the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience among whom also we all had our conversations in time past in the lust of our flesh fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind and we're by nature the children of wrath even as others we weren't no better than them but god who is rich in mercy for his great love wherewith he loved us even when we were dead in sins even when we were dead in sins oh you didn't hear that even when we were dead in sins has quickened us together with christ by grace yes said and have raised us up together listen to the pauline language here has raised us up together he's writing to the church at ephesus and the diversity of people that made up the church both gentile and jew and have raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in christ jesus that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace and his kindness to warn us this at us again through christ jesus for my grace are you saying to pray that not of yourselves that it's gift of god not of works lest any man should boast for we are his workmanship created in christ jesus unto good works which god had before ordained that we should walk in them wherefore remember that ye being in times past gentiles in the flesh who are called uncircumcision by that which is called the circumcision in the flesh made by hands that at that time ye were without christ being aliens from the commonwealth of israel he's talking to the gentiles being aliens from the commonwealth of israel and strangers from the covenant of promise having no hope and without god in this world but now but now but now but now but now in christ jesus our adoptive parent he's adopted us into the royal family but now in christ jesus you who were sometimes far off and made now by the blood of christ you're made nine by the blood of christ for he is our peace who have made both one and have broken down the middle wall of petition the middle wall of partition the middle wall of petition between jews and gentiles between believing jews and gentiles there is no distinction having abolished in his flesh the enmity even the law of commandments contained in ordinances for to make in himself of twain one new man so making peace good god of mercy one new man when paul writes this he's not talking about a physical man he's talking about an ideological man he's talking about tearing down the wall of petition that existed between jews and gentiles and he's encouraging them to understand that now that you are christians this is a new thing that is neither jew nor gentile it is a new thing a one new man that god has done that god has torn down the wall of partition that he has raised us up together and made us to sit together in heavenly places by grace are you saved not by the law he's torn down the wall of petition which was the what law and he's torn it all down so that there will be no barrier between you and me but has brought us all together through a door a legal entry by grace are ye saved it is the gift of god are you with me so i want to talk about one new man tonight and and i want you to understand it in many contexts both figuratively and literally and then personally and experientially i want to cover all three phases in order for you to get it so you got to go with me tonight because i got a lot of work to do and i want you to get it father sanctify the word into our hearts and into our spirits that we might be edified by that whichever joint supplies anoint us with the kind of power that enables us to see deeply into your word and to drink from the well of your salvation and to come into revelation knowledge and a deeper understanding of who we are and whose we are and where we are in the kingdom of god in the name of jesus we pray amen now if you're going to contextualize the text in the realm in which it was written it is important that you go away from reading it through the eyes of your personal need and you have to go back and understand that paul is writing a letter to a church who is struggling to understand itself because the church is now drawing people from different arenas and different worlds and people who normally did not interact with each other you remember the woman at the well said you jews have no dealings with us samaritans there were many divisions even back then between class between cultures between kinds that had to be dealt with if a gentile ate with a jew the jew would break the plate there was a wall of petition they were called heathens you remember the woman who was gentile and came to jesus and and said it is not meat to give jesus said it's not meat to give the children's bread to the dogs he was he called that woman a dog she's gentile without covenant the woman said even the dogs can eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table jesus said i have not found so great of faith in all of israel you see how many barriers existed between them that jesus felt comfortable to refer to her as a dog or a person without covenant and made a distinction between the children's bread and the dogs she said yeah i may be a dog i may be a gentile i may not have a covenant i may be as ephesian says without god in this world but even the dogs can eat the crumbs that fall from the master table and her faith won her seat at the table because she believed god and whenever you believe god it is counted unto you as righteousness i'd rather be a believer than a baptist i'd rather be a believer than a pentecostal i'd rather be a believer than to be church of god in christ i'd rather be a believer than to be an ami i'd rather be a believer than to be a pentecostal i'd rather be a believer than to be called a christian i'd rather be a believer because believing in support of entry that tears down every wall of distinction and so paul is busy tearing down the walls of distinctions that existed in the early church it's not that different from today there are cliques and groups and clubs in our churches and if you're not in this clique you're in that clique over there and some of you aren't in anybody's clique it was like that then only it was on the basis of pedigree and background but paul says that jesus died to raise us up together and make us to sit in heavenly places in christ jesus by grace our he say and i want you to look at that scripture and i want you to look at that scripture closely and see how many time you see us and not me us and not you that what paul is trying to do is bring a cohesiveness together and he calls the gentiles by name and then he deals with the law by name and if you just read ephesians 2 if you study nothing else but ephesians 2 it will help you to understand what the church is and what the church is not and how god has made this new thing that is neither this nor that it is neither jew nor gentile it is either neither bond or free it is neither greek nor jew it is neither male nor female it is just one new man now when i use the term man i'm not talking about man as it relates to gender this is not a mesogenic ideology promoting one gender above another i'm talking about human i'm talking about humanity has made one new man and it is figurative in this text the one new man has been raised up together so that the jew has no dominance over the gentile and the gentile has no dominance over the jew and there is no jewish supremacy and god never intended for there to be supremacy between his children he's tearing down arrogance and tradition and he's tearing down pride and he's tearing down malicious ideologies that have stopped us from being united in the fullness what the problem was at that time was the jews had a relationship with jehovah that the gentiles did not have they were separated from the commonwealth of israel and without god and without hope in this world so sense attacks but god who is rich in mercy wherein he have loved us have quickened us together with christ by grace our you say that in the ages to come in the ages to come he did it so that in the ages to come he could show off his grace that he could take something so dirty and something so religious and knit them together and make it work and call it the church understanding that is the precipice upon which we stand and the fundamental of our faith that is necessary for us to begin to peek through the window of the massive revelation of what god had in man mind when he made the church and then he calls it one new man or it could be one new body because we are a body of believers what gives us kinship is not our historicity it is our destiny we are connected then and therefore one body not because we share history but because we share destiny and because of christ he has adopted us into the royal family because up until now gentiles were separated from watch this word the common wealth of israel i don't have time to exhaust that but now that we have been brought nigh we have been brought nigh to the commonwealth wealth of israel the common wealth of israel what israel takes for granted what is common for them the enrichment of who they are we are now able to be partakers of the same because christ have raised us up together and made us both to sit as equals in heavenly places in christ jesus by grace you are saved you have to understand that salvation includes empowerment that if you get saved there is an empowering component to it that includes the the watch this phrase the common wealth of israel you need to tap into that tonight some of you are going through things that you need to tap into that tonight some of you have a vision for some things that you need to tap into the commonwealth of israel but you're intimidated because you don't think that it's for you but god has raised us up together and made us to sit in heavenly places and somebody type on the line it's mine yeah it's mine it's mine it's mine i am a seed of abraham i have been adopted into the royal family whereby we cry i am a father because jesus has adopted us into the royal family this is good this is good this is good this is good this is good and now has made out of twain out of two twain he had made one new man so he took the two bodies of people gentiles and jews and weaved them together through the blood of the cross and made one new man the two shall be one we have seen this premise all the way back in the garden when adam and eve were two but they became one flesh through intimacy they become one flesh for this cause later in ephesians 5 last verse for this cause shall they leave their mother and father and they shall take unto them a wife and they shall cleave and the twain shall become one flesh god can take two and make one god can take division and bring unity god can take discrepancies and bring connectivity only god can do that and all of this is in ephesians 2 and leave you one new man good god of mercy one new man so you can come boldly to the throne of grace the idolater can come boldly to the throne of grace just as sure so orthodox they can come to the same throne at the same time and access the same wealth whether it be spiritual financial emotional physical whatever it is in this case with the woman who came to jesus she was looking for the wealth of healing and she was eligible to tap into it before the cross because she believed god you didn't hear the power of that there's no way this woman should have been able to tap into the commonwealth of israel before jesus went to the cross but faith breaks all the rules faith breaks all dispensational order faith breaks through all barriers and opens up a window i preach sunday about a window faith will open up a window where you saw a wall and somebody watching right now you're standing in front of a wall and god wants to put a window in it in order for him to put a window in it you're going to have to believe him to put a window where there was a wall and then you got to have enough faith to go through the window while the wind is open you got to go through it while the wind is open you got to go through it while the wind is open and not feel guilty and not feel ashamed all while the accuser of the brethren is bringing up your idolatrous ways your hormone ways they were committing fornication and orgies and perversions and everything else but jesus still knitted them together he joined them with himself and knitted them together by grace ye are saved goodbye guilt goodbye shane goodbye depression goodbye hidden feelings of unworthiness goodbye the voice of the accuser that torments me at two o'clock in the morning by grace sorry you say it is the gift of god it is the gift of god i didn't have to earn it you're right i don't deserve it i didn't have to earn it i can't pay for it it is the gift of god i receive it i believe it i receive it i believe it is so that's what the text is offering to us tonight and have raised us up together made one new man this nebulous indescript thing that the early church would spend the next hundred to three hundred years defining what the church was christ birthed it but it took the apostles to explain it he birthed the church on calvary he empowered it on the day of pentecost but it took the pauline epistles and all of the epistles collectively to bring order and structure and definition to this holy thing that christ has brought forth you know christ himself was called that holy thing and then he burst the church which is now a holy thing anytime you call something a thing it is nebulous and indescript and now paul brings definition to that which was in the script am i too heavy for you let's go deeper because you need to understand you pointed something what do you want i want that thing right there you don't know what you don't know how to name it the early church was nameless they weren't called christians until they got to antioch at one point they were called away at another point they were called the believers they were trying to figure themselves out because god will do it and you have to name it later god will do a thing in your life and you have to name a letter later god will do a thing in your life and you have to name it later god will do a thing in your life and you have to name it later god will do a thing in your life that you don't have a name for god will do a thing in your life that you can't explain to people god will do a thing in your spirit that you are incapable to articulate the magnitude of what he did because he just did it good god almighty he's able he's able to do a thing to type on the line do a thing in my life do something in my life that i don't have a word for do something in my life that i can't describe do something in my life that i don't know how to articulate do something in my life that i've never seen before what god did in the birthing of the church was unexplainable they had never seen anything like it before it broke all the rules it went against all the ordinances it broke all the covenants and yet god did it because he is not god in the law he is god of the law this sha'ta masha you didn't hear what i'm saying there's a difference between being god in the law and being god of the law he is god of the law and so he tears down the wall of partition that exists between us and have made in himself one new man and our subject tonight is one new man and you need to understand what god can do whether it is a body of believers that he brings unity to and makes him one new man or whether it is an individual the power of one new man you need to understand what god can do when we unite when disconnected disruptive confused enemies unite you need to understand there are forces to divide us especially in this contemporary society the church is more divided than i have ever seen it in the 64 years of my life it is more divided than it's ever been before and that is not by accident that it's by intent the enemy designs it so because when we come together in one accord in one place the power of the holy spirit falls and we have allowed the values and the attitudes and the inference and the dilution and the pollution of the world to divide what makes us central is not whether we're vaccinated or not not whether we were mask or not or not what our doctor says not how we vote what makes us united it's the blood of the lamb any time you build unity around anything other than the blood of the lamb you will always end up in division and we are totally divided politically socially emotionally divided and fighting harder over the division than we did over the cross and we're losing our unity we're losing our connectivity over paper over mask over vaccinations and none of us know what we're talking about because we're not epidemiologists we don't know you don't know what's in an aspirin you don't know what's in there you don't know what you're talking about and yet it has become a wedge of division which lets you know a spirit is behind it to stop us from being one new man because jesus died that we might be one new man he died that we might be united but anytime we start flying up under the banner of any other man we lose the connection that we ought to have with the god man jesus christ mary's baby the lily of the valley the lamb of god the bright and morning star i'm talking about the rose of sharon i'm talking about the seed of abraham i'm talking about the root of jesse i'm talking about the kinsmen redeemer and the daystar and the bulwark i'm talking about jesus i'm not talking about presidents i'm not talking about politics i'm not talking about democrats i'm not talking about republicans i'm not talking about masking no matter i'm not talking about vaccination there's something about the gospel that transcends all of that have all the opinion you want to do whatever you want to do but at the end of the day there's something that transcends all of our distinctives tear down the wall of partition tear down the wall of petition tear down the wall of petition even if you have to tear down your pride to get it down tear down jesus died to tear down the wall of petition that we might become one new man and the reason that the earth is rottening is because the sons of god are divided and the reason that the angel has thrust his sickle into the earth and the harvest of the earth is ripe and god is harvesting and judgment this world is because the salt is losing its savior you don't want to hear me teach tonight the reason the enemy is able to come and do whatever he wants to do whenever he wants to do it is because we're not flying up under the banner of the blood we're flying up under the banner of our politics and the only safe place when the death angel passes by is under the blood if you're not under the blood you're up under something that can't keep you if you're not up under the blood you know you're not you're not under anything that can save you not under anything that can heal you you need to come back to being one new man when you when you become one new man black folks and white folks and brown folks and german folks and jamaican folks and jewish folks can all come together up under that one banner and they say how in the world did you get them together and then you tell them about jesus ephesians chapter 2 is a miracle it is a miracle we are in the labor room we are in the birthing lab we are in the place where the baby is being named and defined and the features are working and the doctor is checking it and we're starting to understand that this is a new thing god says i will do a new thing in you the former things will be passed away i will do a new thing in you and you're fighting over old things because you can't have new things until you let go of old things let the redeemed of the lord say so type it on the line say so let the redeemed of the lord chase so let the redeemed of the lord say so let the redeemed of the lord say so let the redeemed of the lord say so we are not here to fight about stuff that is all man-made all man-made all man-made stuff and we're fighting about it i don't mind that we disagree we have opinions we're supposed to disagree but we are hating about it and we we're losing our newness and like the world we are rottening on the vine we are casting our feasts before our time we are losing our prophetic relevance in the world today and losing respect within and without and now we have groups like nuns and other groups that have come up that said i embrace god but i don't embrace the church i guess they don't because we are not one new man oh you better click off now i made somebody mad but i'm used to you being mad and i'm old enough not to worry about you being mad i've been hated before and if you hate me now you're not getting anything new hallelujah you're getting sloppy thirds and fours and fifths six because you can't reach my age and i've been hated before and i'm not afraid of being controversial this text was controversial it shook the very foundation of the orthodoxy of the judaistic teaching of the time that you could still be a jew and connect as a christian was an idea that was shaking that's why they wanted jesus killed because he was shaking up religion shaking up tradition i know you worship this little nice little pansy jesus that didn't stir up anything but i worship a jesus who was a radical jesus a table throwing jesus a chair throwing jesus i worship a jesus that's radical enough to blow the minds of religious people we said they said we got to get rid of him before he turns the world upside down we've got to stop him and he moved from the physical body into the mystical body of christ which we are studying tonight so we move from the physical body on the cross to the mystical body which is the church and that mystical body which is the church is one new man say with me one new man that's what i want to be as one new man that's what i'm praying for as one new man it's not important that i have one new year if i don't have a new man if i bring the old man into a new year all i'm doing is repeating the experience i had in the whole year what good is 2022 if you're still who you were in 2021 this is about one new man the text is clear it's about one new man in a world that's moving so fast problems beyond our control complicated crisis in government pervasive poverty throughout our nation massive injustice and a crime rate with stress filled with stress and trauma almost everywhere what can one man do sometimes you feel helpless you feel hopeless you feel impotent you feel stressed out you feel overwhelmed there is a dreadful feeling of impetus to resolve problems and existing even in our own homes forget the world and the international conflict we can't even solve problems in our own home and there's a dread and there's a miles and there's a stripes that we carry to bed with us every night no wonder we can't sleep we take pills to go to bed we take pills to get up in the morning we can't have any rest because we can't even stop the war in our own home not to mention the war in our own mind sometimes we crave the intervention of others whether it be a board or a jury or a congress or a medical board or or or just the approval of a loan company we all need somebody to come in and save us yet god seldom uses a board he seldom uses a committee or a compilation of outside influence to redeem you at the end of the day the biggest changes are a result of one man when god got ready to start the nation of israel he started it through the gentile loins of one man when god got ready to create all of humanity he did it through the body of one man when god got ready to redeem the world he did it through one man when god got ready to deliver israel from egypt he did it through one man god uses one man why can't it be you why can't it be you why can't it be you currently there are nearly eight billion people on the planet god doesn't use the general populace for anything over and over he shows us the impact he can have with one man that is within your reach that is doable to you he doesn't need eight billion of us to do to agree he just needs one new man when god gets one man he can turn the world upside down the one man could be nelson mandela the one man could be abraham lincoln the one man can beat dr martin luther king jr the one man whenever god gets one man he can do the world he can use them to turn the world upside down my wife is following t.d jakes one new man [Music] one new man one new man named adam start of all humanity that's why we're all cousins we're all related because god didn't start with a committee he started with one new man [Music] first timothy chapter 2 verse 13 through 14 makes it very clear for us to understand the power of one new man that god only has to whisper in one man's ear and change is ratified you ought to let god whisper in your ear and change be ratified in your life the bible says in first timothy chapter 2 verse 13 14 for adam was formed first then eve and adam was not the one deceived it was a woman who was deceived and became a sinner therefore just as sin entered into the world through one man all he needs is one man sin climbed through the window of one man because sin understood the power of one man that if you're gonna infect humanity with the disease of sin and death he climbed through the window of one man one man did not the woman one man she was to see he was not deceived he was not deceived he knew what was going on he could have died for his bride and provoke calvary that happened in the garden of eden instead of decided in the garden of gethsemane but he died with his bride jesus came along later and died for his bride but it was all done by one new man i feel like teaching this night i feel like teaching this night i wish i had some bible lovers out there we've got a generation of people that love noise but they don't love the bible but if there's any bible lovers in there tonight make some noise get on the line holla hoop yell scream one new man one new man can turn your life around there's some women that can tell you one new man can turn the house around can turn your life around can turn your destiny around can turn your future around there's some companies that'll tell you one new man you can hire one new man he can turn the whole office upside down i was reading a book about jack well one new man turned an entire corporation upside down he bought stuck in it and turned it all the way around one new man go back to that text one new man one new man can turn it up say that we just need one new man we don't need a committee we don't need a board we don't need to vote we don't need to agree we just need one new man that can hear what the spirit of the lord is saying unto the church therefore just as sin entered into the world through one new man and death through sin and in this way death came to all people because of all sin death came to all people in one new man i want to dig into that death came to all people through one new man everybody after adam didn't have to partake of the fruit they were born in his sin they were shaping in his iniquity they didn't get a chance at righteousness adam was created righteous but once sin climbed in through his window every son he had was born in sin that's why you have murder in the first family you have dysfunction in the first family you have disappointment in the first family you have chaos in the first family you have division in the first family because sin had climbed through the window of one new man to be sure sin was in the world before the law was given but sin is not charged against everyone's account where there is no law i'm still in the word of god verse 13. i want you to get that i want you to understand that sin climbed in the world but it wasn't charged to any man because you cannot charge me for sin where there is no law if i'm driving down the interstate and i'm doing 95 miles an hour and there is no sign that says 70 miles an hour you cannot give me a ticket where there is no law now it's true i'm driving too fast but you can't give me the penalty of my sin because there is no law and where there is no law there can be no judgment what did i break so from adam to moses what did i break adam had one law not to eat of the forbidden fruit and he broke that law once he broke that law sin entered into the world but we couldn't be judged for all the lust and all the chaos and all the confusion that we did because where there is no law there is no sin i'm quoting scripture nevertheless death reign from the time of adam to the time of moses verse 14 even over those who did not sin by breaking a command whether you sinned or not death still when you still died as did adam who is the pattern of the one to come he is the pattern of the one to come i'm about to get radical with you so fasten your seat belts glory to god can you all handle a real bible class can you handle a real bible clan the bible says in hebrews i believe it's hebrews that levi paid ties while he was still in the loins america of abraham he paid tithes while he was still in the loins of abraham to melchizedek meaning that when abraham paid times his great-great-grandchild got credit for the times while he was still a cell in his great-great-grandfather's body that's the way sin came into the world when adam came into sin and all his unborn children unlike him were born in sin and shaping in iniquity they didn't have a choice in the matter they inherited sin levi got blessed even though he wasn't even a person yet because when his great-great-grandfather got blessed paying tithes to melchizedek it fell down to the fourth generation but it started with one new man wherefore shall we say then what shall we say then is the law sinful certainly not nevertheless i would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law i would have known i was speeding if you didn't put up the speech sign for i would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said you shall not covet come on but sin seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment producing me every kind of coveting for apart from the law sin was dead where there is no law policemen pass me by you can't give me a ticket if you don't have a sign once i was alive apart from the law but when the law when the law but apart from the law but when the commandment came sin sprang to life and i died so the moment the law came now i have condemnation okay and the law is handed down through one man i found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death that's what the law did it brought death because now we have a standard for sin seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment deceived me and through the commandment put me to death so then the law is holy and the commandment is holy righteousness and good did that which is good then become death to me by no means nevertheless in order that sin might be recognized as sin it used what is good to bring about my death so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful now it's utterly sinful because now i have a commandment and now i have a standard in other words the law was broken when they got it but the law they were naked when he brought it down off the mountain baby they had already worshiped an idol god before they ever saw it they broke it before they ever got it the law came just to reveal sin it uncovered sin that's why the command the tabernacle comes with it because god already knew they couldn't keep it so he made a way of grace for them when he handed down the law can i go deeper with this now in romans 5 15-21 the bible says this and it compares what happened with adam i want to be sure that you get what happened to adam all men when adam died all men died in him even though they were birthed even though they lived even though they had life they eventually died because in adam all sinned in the eyes of god there weren't but two men adam and jesus you were either born in adam under your old nature or born in christ verily verily i say unto you you must be born again now read romans 5 15 in light of this one new man i'm through talking about the one new man adam now i want to talk about the one new man jesus christ but the gift is not like the trespass the gift is not like the trespass for if the many died by the trespass of one man how much more did god's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man jesus christ overflowed to the many nor can the gift of god be compared with the result of one man's sin the judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification for if by the trespass of the one man death reign through that one man how much more will those who receive god's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man jesus christ god reversed it consequently just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people saw also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people good god of mercy if i didn't have to be sin if i didn't have to commit sin to be born in sin because i was adam's child when i become christ's child i don't have to be righteous to be declared righteous i inherited his righteousness by grace i'm saying verse 19 for just as though the disobedience of the one man the men the one man the many were made sinners so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made right you know god had to make you righteous stop acting like you righteous stop singing just another day the lord had kept me from all you you know that's a lie you know what you thought you know what you said you know how you gossip you know what you did you know the very thought of foolishness is sin you know your righteousness is that's filthy red in the sight of god if you got any righteousness it got to be jesus the one man jesus gave it imputed unto us righteousness verse 20 for the law was brought in so that the trespass might increase when the law comes in now the policeman can stop me but where sin increased grace increased all the more uh shining up of course you don't hear what i'm saying where sin increased grace increased all the more where sin increased so that just as sin reigned in death so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through jesus christ our lord not through your work not through your ties not through this not through that that's the one new man that's the only thing you got to plead that's the only thing you got to say is jesus christ type it on the line jesus christ stop talking about what you did how much you paid how much you gave how good you can sing how well you can preach how big is your church how many scriptures you know none of that saves you none of that saves you you are saved by the finished work of jesus christ when he hung his head in the locks of his shoulders and died until the sun got embarrassed and said i can't watch it anymore he died until the ground got nervous and started trimming he died till law fell over and fainted on grace he died to the veil and the temple was red from the top to the bottom he died till graves started popping up all over jerusalem he died until every curse that was against me was pulled out of me he died so the hecks wouldn't work he died so the witch couldn't work he died so the witchcraft couldn't work he died so the warlock couldn't stop me he died so that no weapon formed against me shall be able to probably who did it one new man [Applause] one new man one new man one one one one one one new man one new man that's why they were trying to stop him that's why they was trying to kill him that's why they were trying to take him out that's why they didn't want him to speak that's why they drove him out of city that's why they hung him to the cross they were trying to get him out of the way because all god needs is one new man if one new man brought sin one new man could take it out that's why he's calling the last man adam because everything adam broke jesus fix it everything adam messed up jesus straighten it out everything adam broke god put it together again in jesus it's jesus it's jesus it's jesus it's jesus alone it's jesus it's jesus it's jesus that makes dreams tremble it's jesus that breaks jokes and bonding it's jesus that sets the captain free it's jesus it opens up prisoner when paul and silas was locked in jail they sang praises unto him and all of a sudden the jail doors opened up and an earthquake came and god turned a prison house into a church house and they forbid them to preach anymore in the name of jesus because there was something about the name of g p minus trimble at the sound of that name hell gets nervous at the sound of that yokes are broken at the sound of that name captives are set free at the sound of that name jesus the angels are declaring it jesus the lamb of god heaven is talking about jesus demons are talking about jesus hallelujah his name has been exalted above every day that at the name of jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth they're all subject to his name they're all subject to his name get a lock of my hair don't matter it's still subject to the name of jesus buried under my portrait don't matter it's subject to the name of jesus enter into a covenant kill a cat and let the blood run down the stream and make a wish on a bone and still can't curse me you can't curse me because every curse that was against me was crucified on the cross was christ and by one man sin was eradicated out there is therefore now no condemnation to them that are who one man in christ jesus [Applause] glory to god without an organ or a drum without a clap or sound i'll stand flat foot hit here and preach the word of god and tell them one man the bible looks at it and said if the princes of this world would have known who he was they would have never crucified the lord because they didn't understand their old child they didn't understand that god put the mystery in one man when they hung him high and stretched him wide and pierced him inside one writer said the new testament came out of his side god had hid the new covenant inside the body of jesus he is the scroll that ezekiel underwrote he reveals the covenant of god the covenant that was hidden down through the ages the mystery of godliness was in jesus christ and when they pierced him in his side the veil in the temple said you won't need me anymore and it was ripped from the top to the bottom because when the new covenant comes the old covenant dies now as long as the testator lives the old testament is enforced but when the testator died it shook up everything in earth it shook up everything in heaven it shook up everything up under the earth graves popped up all over jerusalem because the new testament was in his blood and god had hid it all not in a committee not in a board not in a ritual not in a routine not in a tabernacle not in a temple not in a saying not in the keeping of dead he hid it all in one man the man christ jesus was the word walking around in the beginning what's the word and the word was with god and the word was god all things were made by him without him was not anything that made was made in him was life and the life was the light of man the light shined and partnered darkness couldn't do nothing about it verse 14 and the word was made flesh jesus was the word made flesh he was the covenant he was the envelope that the word was in he was a covenant of god he was the commandment of god just jesus if we don't have no drums give me jesus if we don't have no choir give me jesus if we don't have no tamarind give me jesus if we don't have no people give me jesus because it ain't about you it's about jesus it's not about this building it's about jesus they say when you go open up the church i never closed it it was never about a building it's about jesus in your living room is jesus in your kitchen it's jesus in the courtroom it's jesus in the back porch it's jesus wherever you go it's still jesus and wherever jesus there's church right there [Applause] that right there it's the gospel that right there is the gospel i've been born in him in him i live in him i move in him i have my being one new man that if any man be in christ he is not trying to be not working on it not improving himself he is a new creature all old things are passed away all things become new why because there's only two men the first man adam the last man adam and so when paul writes about it here he calls him one new man as i hastened to a close tonight i only brought two men with me one man is the defendant he brought sin into the world we hold him on trial he is guilty because he led up the window he lit he he led up the window and when he led up the window sin came in when the last man adam came in he opened up the door to grace and grace came in and saved everyone that believes on him and it was done through one new man history says that they crucified one disciple upside down and the other one they cut his head off with a sword one of them they threw in a snake pit but they couldn't stop it it was too late it had already slipped in through one new man now my question to you as i hasten to a close tonight is what can you expect from god through you if god delivered israel all of israel from the army of the egyptians with one man if god redeemed the world with one man if god started the creation with one man what can he do with you if god saves samaria through the testimony of one woman what can he do with you [Music] if you're going to walk into 2022 stop waiting on them and they and somebody ought to do something you're the body you're the body ephesians says you're the body you're the one new man in christ jesus with access to the commonwealth of israel get rid of your stinking thinking there's nothing in your history that's going to justify you but there's something in your bible that has given you a promise you have access to the commonwealth of israel go get it you have access to hope go get it you have access to peace go get it you have access to joy go get it you don't need the bishop to lay hands on you you don't need the priest to hear your dirty secrets jesus has torn down the wall of petition you can come boldly to the throne of grace and find grace to help in the time of need anything i pray for is extra god will hear you open your mouth and speak to him and let him speak to you now as i close i want to pray for you i want to pray for all of you who have misassigned your deliverance to somebody else's behavior i want to pray for people who have delegated their deliverance to the choir i want to pray for people who don't think that they'll have happiness till their husband comes back i want to pray for people who have put their future in their wife their girlfriend their chick on the side [Music] and none of them come all you need is one new man and you got him his name is jesus and if you seek him first everything else comes after the attaining of that one new man you want to be in right standing with god start with jesus jesus says i am the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the father but by me and tonight you want to grow that church get your mind off of your carnal egotistical self-righteousness trying to prove yourself to other people's self you'll never build that church because there's too much eye on the throne don't you know if you got eye on the throne you got christ on the cross but if you put you on the cross then christ will get on the throne if christ gets on the throne he'll build the church you've lost your consecration you've lost your consecration you don't act like what you're supposed to be you're a child of the king you're supposed to be different away with all these church folk trying to fit in with the culture i'm not trying to fit in with the culture the culture better try to fit in with me i'm trying to fit in with the kingdom [Music] if you're trying to fit in with the culture you got the wrong man up front the culture is running off a cliff can't you tell can't you see the culture is running off a cliff they don't know who they are they don't know what they are they don't know what they want to be they don't know what they love they don't know where they're going and if you say anything about it you're crazy no you're crazy the church is not supposed to chase the culture the culture has got to come to the church and it starts when we stop being ashamed of who we are and be one new man stop all the bickering stop all the arguing people going to do what they want to do anyway i'm just not going to argue with you all day and at night if you don't want to do something you don't want to do it if you don't want to take something don't take it if you don't want to vote for somebody don't look look look look look look look that's not what makes us brothers what makes us brothers is the lamb it's not the elephant it's the lamb y'all don't hear what i'm saying it's not the donkey baby it's the lamb it's time for us to get up under that one new man and if i've reached anybody today maybe you're a backslider and you've drifted away from god and i understand the confusion because the church has lost its message but it's time for you to come home not because bishop jake says so but that one new man from calvary's rugged hill screams out from golgotha's mountain yells over the balcony of heaven screams across the crystal sea echoes through the ears of 24 elders and shouts out your name the lord has need of you the lord has need of you i know you're only one but that's all he needs is one and you are the one for this generation for this era for this time for this mission i know for a fact the one is listening at me now you are the one let me prove it to you hell did everything to stop you played with your childhood to distort you abused and molested you to disorient you broke your heart over and over again to estrange you why would satan waste that many demons on somebody who wasn't the one you're on his hit list you're on his hit list just like herod because he knew you were a king and a queen and he started early to disorient you but tonight is your night that's right hell sandable kosher tonight is your night and he wanted you to know i just need one [Music] i don't need your brother your sister i don't need your wife to come into agreement i don't need all your kids in the choir i just need one new man or woman or a little boy a little girl just one and god says thou art the man thou art the man and i know every little nasty freaky dirty thing you did and i know you're not a church boy and i know you're not this and you're not that and you're not the other and all the other excuses you have used to turn a deaf ear to the call of god that has always been in your ear but tonight is your night and he called you and there's nowhere to hide and there's nowhere to run and there's nowhere to go but safely back to jesus the number is on the screen right now giving you an opportunity to connect and seal the deal don't just do it in your head don't just do it in your mind seal the deal tonight while the holy spirit has softened up the calloused places in your heart the indifference in your spirit the walls of resistance that you built up against the calling and the wooing of the holy spirit have been shaken in the shouts and god is calling you now give your life to him father i pray that every person under the sound of my voice that's been touched by this word would say yes to god would surrender to the holy spirit would allow the holy spirit to point and put his finger right in his chest that says you are the man the one new man want to do a new thing in you the one new woman i want to do a new thing in you i know your mama didn't raise you i know your sister treated you funny i know you've always felt like an outcast but that's because you're the one how you're the one you're the one you can't be treated like them when you're the one you've longed to fit in but you've always stood out because you're the one and i want to take you to the one new man who can make you over again father god in jesus name save them sanctify them restore them heal them everything that the enemy did to them for evil make it good everything he twisted and bruised and tormented straightened it out because they have a definite destiny or they wouldn't have had a horrible history now set them up straight and use them like they've never been used before for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory hey now and forevermore it is so and so it is in the name of jesus amen just before i close just before i close just before i close i want everybody to clap your hands and shout and make noise and send praises up one new man one new man one new man one new man one new man one new man one new man one new man one new man one new man one new man one new man one new man one new man one new man one new man i am warning before i close to sow a seed into the transformation of all that is twisted the transformation of all that is twisted whether it is twisted in the white house twisted in the hospitals twisted with this pandemic this epidemic whatever is twisted in your life twisted in your personal life twisted in your marriage twisted between you and your kids twisted between you and the church i want to pray that god would straighten out your twisted places and make your crooked path straight and i want to challenge you to sow into this moment right now because some of you have abundance and the enemy is trying to put a fork in the road to offset what god has promised you and in the next few days you need a straight path and i touch and agree with you right now in the name of jesus that it will be so and so it is and i want you to plant a seed right fast if it's you if it's not you pay me no mind but if there's something that you're after and you need the crooks out the road and the potholes to be straightened out and you don't have time to take another lap around possibilities you want a straight shot at the promise i want to pray for people who recognize their uniqueness their uniqueness i am the man type it on the line i am the man i don't care if you're a woman type it on the line i am the man we're not talking about gender we're talking about positions not genders i am the one i'm supposed to do something before i die and i need a clear shot at it the acquisition of purpose is greater than the acquisition of resources if you find your purpose the resources will come [Music] to understand the reason you breathe will unlock the things you need i'm talking right to you and tonight is your night and for somebody it's a large seed because you're after a large dream and it's not large on your scale because you have the faith to believe for somebody is the witness might because that's what you have and that's where you are but i want everyone listening at me tonight to be represented because you are the man you're the one everything pivots on you crashes are broken in you your children will be ratified in you your checks will be built according to the action that rests don't yell you can't go hide this you have to have this hell you can't buy this stop negotiating with other people to bring this to your church you have to have this come out of your belly i want you to sow it to it tonight because it's a rare commodity that veil tearing anointing hey hallelujah that grave opening anointing the one that heals the sick and raises the dead it's a rare commodity we've replaced it with light shows and dancing bears and tortoises but i don't care how many dancing animals you bring in the church nothing will take the place of raw holy ghost power and i put you up under arrest this is not coming up with new programs it's coming up with new power [Music] and i want you to sow into it tonight and i want you to feel the conviction of the holy spirit because you have replaced power with programs you're full of ideas when you ought to be full of glory and tonight is your night i call you back to the old time where i call you back to new glory i don't care what you wear i don't care where your skinny jeans where your teacher wear whatever the whole time way it's not outward appearance it's inner conviction [Music] and as you sow into it tonight it means i hear you god talking to me i'm not a sinner i'm not a backslider but you was talking to me tonight i'm a preacher and i don't know my word like i should because i don't study like i should and i've been expecting you to just let it rain down on me and i have been lazy and i have been slow for and yet i've been expected and how can i expect you to bless me while i play i've been more faithful to football than i have been to my bible i've been more loyal to the nba than i have the pentatonic i can't even spell it and i'm a man or woman of god and i'm ashamed that in this last day i'm not more like paul that in this last day i'm not the nelson mandela i'm not the martin luther king jr i am not standing up for my faith like i should or my people or my community or my family like i should all my roles lead to me and how i feel and what's going on in me and where my emotions are i have become narcissistic and i am gravely sorry and as i sow tonight i sow with the promise that i'm gonna get rid of the eye and the me and get back to the us and raise us up together father everyone the holy spirit has convicted tonight everyone the holy spirit is nudging tonight to sow everyone that the holy spirit is speaking to tonight to plan into the understanding and most importantly the revelation of this text i speak harvest tonight abundant harvest life-changing harvest tonight and i left my house and came down to this almost empty church to deliver this word to you tonight because you are the man and you are the woman that god wants to use in a significant way born in insignificant circumstances so what jesus was born in a barn it does not matter where you start it matters where you finish [Music] and you need to sow tonight to say yes god i hear you and yes i obey you and yes i submitted yes i've got some habits to break and yes i've got to focus and yes i've got to have more discipline and yes i've got to get myself together for as long as i'm a christian i'm ashamed how little i know of truth i know noise i know church protocol i don't know truth and you're not gonna bless my business till i bless your business and i've been asking you to invest in my business while i ignored your business but tonight i set the record straight hallelujah i'm back i'm all the way back devil you should have killed me while i had the chance i'm back let me pray for you right quick i'm not gonna pull on you no more i'm gonna pray for you right now because if the holy spirit don't convict you you don't have what is necessary to do it anyway if the holy spirit draws you then no devil can stop you i'm going to pray right now for those that have come up under the banner of the pull of the holy spirit who feel the gravitational pull of the anointing of god who are being challenged by the power of the holy spirit that god is talking to me and i am going to respond this little tangible gift i'm throwing is just symbolic of the fact that i make a commitment i'm putting myself on the altar [Music] here i am father god as they lay their gifts on the altar as they plant their seeds as they sow as they respond as they give let it be indicative of a fresh commitment a new attitude a new posture a new discipline a new focus a new preparedness a new man a new mama a new woman a new entrepreneur a new business leader a new top leader a new speaker a new spokesman a new writer a new thinker make all things new tonight as we lay our dreams on the altar through this seed blow on it blow on it if you blow on it it will catch a fire and we thank you in advance now unto him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think be glory dominion power and well without end [Music] you
