ajar as well as when you're seated I want you to go to whatever area in your phone your device your tablet afford you the space to take notes because there's some critical things that I want to give you technician if you'll give me just a small boost in the monitor I'll be able to live to fight another day Genesis chapter 2 verse 18 Genesis 2 verse 18 and I want us to read it collectively together Genesis 2 verse 18 everybody let's read it together the Lord God said is not good for the man to be alone I'll make him a helper suitable for him David uses a word for musicians that I want to give to you that word is Sayla which means that you have to pause meditate reflect and think on it let's go back to it again Genesis 2 verse number 18 come on with uplifted voices the Lord God said it is not good for the man to be alone I'll make him a suitable helper I will make a suitable helper suitable for him all right let's try it again I'm hooked on phonics come on everybody just says to verse 18 the Lord God said you may be seated I want to preach for a little while today using as a subject I need to find somebody I want you to turn to your neighbor cuz I don't want them confused but you just say it out loud to yourself and need to find somebody my dear friends the corruption of the criminal justice system came to light most recently in the case concerning Philadelphia rapper meek Mill's he was on probation for a decade attributable to a gun and drug incident that happened in 2007 support came from across the entertainment industry activists began to mobilize and pundants became embroiled in public debates his judge a sister named Janis Brinkley made it painstakingly obvious that she had a personal vendetta by sentencing him for doing wheelies on a dirt bike Everest everything prophesied in the book the new Jim Crow was coming to light all the nuances of the impropriety needed to be evaluated terms of the sentencing in terms of profiling and in terms of the lack of judgment by people who claim to be judges but today ladies and gentlemen there is a different perspective to the meek mills case that I want to offer for your critical thought that have not heard entertained in social media discussed in mainstream press or even written about in op eds and it is this I want to examine what was meek Millz maneframe after being assigned to solitary confinement for five months five months and you only able to come out one hour a day outwardly all we could see upon his release is that he obviously had gained some weight but beyond the naked eye what are the scars of having no contact no family no friends with guards sliding food under your door no embrace for affirmation and the absence of human touch I don't care how hard you claim to be even still if his untouched will rust and silver untouched can still tarnish I know you pride yourself from being independent but soon you'll come to the realization to get through this thing called life you're gonna need somebody I was surprised the other day when I went to read the electronic version of USA Today I was expecting to be met with the headline about President Trump Bill Cosby or even r.kelly but the lead story that I want you to go find and read independently on the front page of USA Today I want you to go read this story the article is entitled young Americans are the loneliest would you write that down please i want you to google search it when you get on the USA Today this week young Americans are the loneliest after issuing surveys to 20,000 they were surprised to see Millennials yell man I can't believe it I get it to give it to you Millennials Bishop Ryan a lonelier then senior citizens did y'all hear what I just said Millennials alum layer than seniors what should be noted is that the study was conducted by a university not conducted by University but the study was conducted by Sigma CI GNA which is friends is given below your mind not from Harvard not from Johns Hopkins this study was done by an insurance agency it's their concern I'm giving blow your mind is there concern that loneliness does not just make you sad it makes you sick loneliness has the same effect I need you to please write this down loneliness has the same effect on mortality as smoking 15 cigarettes a day y'all gotta write that down loneliness has the same effect on your mortality as if you were smoking 15 cigarettes a day making it more detrimental what's this more people are dying of loneliness then obesity you can't keep having dates with Doritos can't keep socializing with soda and spending the night with a chicken box which shocking is that youth on social media here this youth on social media have the exact same rate of loneliness as seniors not on social media the reason being is that the connections on social media are not authentic people boast of having five hundred friends of five hundred followers but you can't call none of them when you in trouble and all this time you expend an energy trying to get your followers up and you all know the pain of being a leader the issue is so critical that the former CERN Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said that citizens between 16 and 24 I want you to hear with the Surgeon General said about you says citizens between the ages of 16 and 24 if you are not employed and you are not in school you are clinically socially disconnected and you don't even understand that your connection is a spiritual mandate it says watch what the Bible says you ain't gonna believe what it says you got to read it sometimes about was good it got good stuff in it you gotta read it sometime the Bible says if two or three are texting in my name is that what it says if two or three are sliding your deal there's any what the Bible says the Bible says if two or three areas are touching and agreeing don't be quick to dismiss as if you've never had lunch with loneliness 47% of the people who are in this room 47% of people in this room feel left out 47% of you right now feel left out 46% of you feel alone with church full of a thousands of people you feel alone right now 43% just can't blow your mind for those yahuwah uppity and feel like I'm not talking to you 43% of you are involved in a relationship you know is not meaningful it got quiet 43% feel isolated from others 20% 22 out of every 10 in this room 20% never feel close to people sitting next to him go to dinner with him hang out with him he's gonna mess you up sleep with them still don't feel connected 27% what's this feel nobody understands me 27% feel like nobody understands me and I wish I wish to God this was a newfound phenomenon I wish the old people could save that's them young people on their social media I wish the young people could just point at the old people and say you don't understand but it's gonna blow your mind that the whole issue of loneliness didn't start because of technology or social media or television or integration loneliness you ain't gonna believe it started in Genesis in Genesis 2 we first encounter the crisis of loneliness when we stumble watch this into the second chapter we see the sovereign Lord say I want you to hear what God says this ain't pastor talking this is what God says God says this watch what he say he said it's not good for man to be alone then he backs it over what's this I have got to make somebody suitable that's the point that I think you miss it I don't just need anybody yeah y'all y'all not sayin nothin to me because you've encountered a whole lot of people who were available but not suitable oh god I can't hear nobody yet they're not suitable for where you're going and they're not suitable for where you are and you don't even understand why they keep calling you because it is evident to both of you you are not suitable he says I'm gonna make him a helper who is comparable to him and the question that begs answering is how did he get this revelation when God's not human how did he's sense this when he didn't even really empathize with me until the word became flesh how did he draw this conclusion without a box of crayons let's go in the Bible do you want mine going in about us what we do in church let's look at verse number 20 how much look at verse number 20 I'm still in Genesis looking at verse number 20 you ought to bring your Bible to church is good you don't have one download the Bible app for free twenty-seven different versions come with it in verse number 20 y'all see it in your Bible in verse number 20 Adam gives names to every animal kangaroos hyenas pitbulls cockroaches reindeer elephants he gives names watch this Debra bird in a ax you know I saying nothing in here sparrows Oreos hummingbirds Dixie burbs he says a name for every fish in the sea salmon alligators crocodiles snapper kreo sure him he gives name watch this to every beast in the field lions tigers bears he names all the dumb animals y'all ain't gonna believe it and when he names all of these animals here's the revelation that Adam got watch this everything I named got somebody even discover a mess you up is gonna infuriate you and give it insight even that which is beneath me got somebody that's got to be playing on my man cuz I'm trying to figure out how that dog get somebody and I'm here by myself huh hide it way or get somebody I'm to my Genesis now I don't [Applause] so all the animals have a payer what's this and none of the animals have an anointing none of them have an assignment none of them have a call and a question that I can't find any piece on is how is the one with the call alone how is the one with the gift by themselves how was the one that's under covenant and operating and exercising Dominion and authority struggling with loneliness and he got nobody and he's operating in a level of imbalance that many of you are afflicted with Adam is so engrossed and doing his call exercising his gift flowing in his office walking in his mandate healing yet know or realize what he's missing there's so many of you who are brilliantly gifted and horribly lonely you get so excited about work did you think you're above companionship and he he he will never pray about it don't ever complain about it don't ever focus on it he like you says I'll find somebody later right now is the time for my career I'm just getting a note of God I feel like I'm getting ready promoted nobody gonna understand the color guard that's on my life God got a disrupted and I want you to notice some things that happen that really pertain and are relevant to you is that at the time of this text watch this y'all we're in verse we are in here this the sixth day in the sixth day didn't make sense to you in isolation because you don't read the Bible but I'm gonna bring it all make it all make sense to you because he's already made light it's already made firmament already made water already made moon Sun stars creeping things crawling things flying things trees watch this and for six days so you know what God said God said according to Jones well James Weldon Johnson God stepped back and said that's good I mean here the street do you know what a relief it would be for you Lynette to be able to go six days and every day is a good day I mean just six days straight of no complaints you don't even know it that's life you can't even imagine that gate six days are nothing going wrong and then and then that six day watch this he says something that in all of your years of Vacation Bible School you never paid attention to here's bishop where God says God says it is not good for man to be alone pastor I'm lost I'm new to this Bible saying I'm new to this church thing I follow what you saying all right the first time God ever said something wasn't good it was about my loneliness what's this and and here's what's gonna blow your mind preachers I'm giving it to you y'all can preach it better than me he's saying it's not good I need y'all not to miss it and it ain't saying just got nothing to do with a serpent just got nothing to do with an apple what God said is not good here's your loveliness not no altars to bail no eaten of the forbidden fruit no sacrifice to false gods but the very first time God identifies the absence of goodness is in loneliness y'all still ain't saying nothing and Adam didn't even understand because he's so imbalanced he done him understand that term he's doing all that work naming animals and birds and beasts and fish and never takes a break and gauzy you working too much cuz you don't have nobody in your life to check you want to slow you down so this would i'ma do imma make you go to sleep god I can't hear nobody in here because you don't have no balances you don't have no boundaries you don't have nothing to separate you from your work so because all you do is just keep going to keep going and keep going I gotta make you sit down somewhere because you get may run yourself into a brick wall and so Adam I know you can name all of this by yourself you did this this hour gifts that you are you named all of them and you did it in to noon coming you going fast cuz you're so good at it you ain't even thinking about what you calling it hippopotamus don't even make sense I knew you were tired rhinoceros come on yeah that's a long way from a jaybird he says something I gotta give you somebody watch this cuz you don't recognize you need help says I don't need you to work hard I need you to work smarter and if you had somebody who was teamed up with you that could help you name their stuff and take dominion over it if it is when the serpent comes you'd know how to fight but you didn't know how to fight because you were too tired from naming animals that you couldn't see when the animal was combat god I can't hear nobody I'm telling you you got somebody good on your side when they can recognize animals when they show up on you trying to disrupt your life and tell watch that one over there can you help me can you help me and be at peace knowing that's your assignment you are a fine take up somebody that's got a purpose if they got no purpose they not for you I don't want to know your favorite color I want to know what's your assignment god help me in here I don't want to know what you like to eat I want to know what you do for the kingdom nothing for me to help you do I'm not a sign to you help somebody they got a call on their life if you got no call I'm overqualified just I'm a help and I can help somebody build something significant I gotta find somebody who can help me take Dominion help me take authority who will help me subdue the earth if I could just come in the right divine partnership and relationship I won't feel burned out hallelujah because when it gets heavy I got somebody competent who can take the load and won't act like it's a inconvenience because it's their gift to be able to bless me their field may not even be my field their line of degree may not match with my degree but you leavin understand you can help me just by not being a burden justice but not always having something negative to say and speaking a word I have formation not deal with beasts all day I don't want to deal with a Hannibal at home nobody ever asks why Adam never had pets I don't take my work home [Applause] since I'm bringing somebody who's gonna be connected to your life cuz you struggling too much by yourself you ain't supposed to be struggling like this cuz I will assign somebody who's gonna make life better and easier for you and it's a benefit because you carry the oil so there's a benefit because you carry the or yo what's in it for them what's in it for the person connected to somebody unknown it like you what happens to the person who's blessed enough to find somebody that got as much as favor as you have God I can't hear nobody what's the benefit package hallelujah for being lined up with somebody who see in the will of God can I give it to you y'all can thank me later on the Genesis to verse number 18 here's your shall be fruitful and multiply you know you're connected with the right one when you don't start losing stuff but just are gain and stop because the anointing on you here's not for subtraction but for multiplication be performed hallelujah and multiply hallelujah anybody gets connected to you he's getting ready to be lined up for increases hallelujah you can come to me broke but you ain't stay in that way hallelujah because it's too much on me to me to be connected with failure and mediocrity and no trade if you gonna be with me get ready for takeoff they cut the anar they on me it's the bee fruit now the problem is how do you my helping in the matter today the problem is you can't get connected with fools that are scared of multiplication God kept me in here because there are some people that will get intimidated when God starts to multiply but you need somebody in your life when God begins to multiply your opportunities and your door they don't start hating them backing up they begin to speak we are in the will of God yes at the time of the text watch this it's the end of the

Jesus name Amen they were all together in that room and he knew exactly who they were he knew that they sold him out he knew that they had denied they knew him he knew that they doubted him but his love for them was greater than their weakness and he stood in their presence and took bread and broke it and said I'm going to allow them to break my body not because of my weakness but because of yours the body of the Lord Jesus Christ broken for my sin I take it I remember what he's done for me I eat it and I'm thankful what can wash away my sins nothing but and somebody shout the blood what
