Rev. Johnny James ~ "There's Nobody Like Jesus" (1 of 2)

Debu and after hearing him preach preached with him at bishop Wagner's church and then brother Mike Williams that hurt him a time or two intake and we went before brother tinium of the Kilgore we wanted to invite him to come preach for us that because of the times I would like for you to give this man you're gonna love his preaching United Pentecostal church Pentecostal villag xandria welcome can we do that right now the glad is here [Applause] greetings in Jesus name you may take it applause and relay it on to the one who properly deserves it Jesus himself [Applause] please be seated because of Jesus Plus because of the Mandans equals because of the times it's a pleasure to be here and it's an honor to have this wonderful privilege of celebrating Jesus with you and to mingle my voice with this great multiplicity of voices and help you to celebrate Jesus and exalt his name I've heard so much about this meeting my good friend pastor of the great search and Barberton Ohio Reverend botany Famer he told me about it pastor payment has two masters degrees he has the great command of the English language has never heard any spit a verb bust an infinitive or dangling participle but he didn't even come close and telling me how great this meeting is he sent me to preach in Kansas City at life Tabernacle United Pentecostal church to his his brother outlaw or brother-in-law Reverend Stan Gleason and we've got a church at nine o'clock and we would eat from nine till eleven and go down in the den and we would watch the videos of because of the times from 11:00 till daybreak with a break day with a stick but even watching on videos and seeing all of these legendary preachers are never dreamed I would ever share the platform with them and the legendary Jeff Arnold is one Lord one faith one baptism one Jeff Arnold so I went to Pontiac Michigan and I preached for Reverend Roland Baker and I said did you have any because of the time tapes and he gave me five tapes and had the nerve to ask for him back I thought he knew that black people didn't give nothing back and sinks didn't give nothing back and I'm black and saved [Applause] but I enjoyed those those tapes awesome endlessly but even even that it doesn't even come close to this experience that is here I was born the first time April 1 1930 in Portsmouth Ohio and I was born the second time June 22nd 1954 in Detroit Michigan I was born twice so I have two citizens just my first birth made me a citizen of the United States of America and my second birth made me a citizen of heaven and for the 43 years that I have been a citizen of heaven I have never experienced the meeting a conference or a gathering such as this I am persuaded that the only thing that exceeds this is that great meeting they had on that Sunday June the 2nd 80 29 when the Holy Spirit swept through the Upper Room of John marks mother's house on the day of Pentecost we were coming over in the we were coming over in the band and I was talking to Reverend Baker he asked me how did I feel fishing in this great meeting I said man I'm nervous as the in church I said I want all y'all to pray for me that the Lord will help me to communicate to you but I feel like he has given me I'm gonna ask [Applause] while you while you pray for me the Song of Solomon the Song of Solomon five nine and ten and Saint John one seventeen and eighteen and I want to say again I greet all of you in Jesus name all of them the presiding general superintendent who has now left but he was here in the superintendent OSHA and district superintendents and all of the presbyters and all of you prophets and Shepherds and pitchers and teachers and leaders and feeders and elders and bishops and ministers and servants and writers and fighters and organizers and agonizes and singers and cleaners and players and prayers are greet all of you in Jesus name [Applause] the Song of Solomon five nine and ten where does that beloved more than another beloved o thou fairest among women what is that beloved more than another beloved that thou doth so charged us might beloved is white and ruddy the chiefest among ten thousand st. John 1:17 in eighteen for the law was given by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ no man has seen God at any time the only begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father he hath declared him now I am very much aware that these context is and for verses 2 and the old and - and the new have their own independent meaning in the context that they are in they say that the three great disciplines that control preaching or the three disciplines of theology about preaching our apologetics homiletics and hermeneutics hermeneutics is the science of preaching homiletics is the art of preaching and apologetics is the proof of preaching so when you deal with the science of preaching you have to explain these verses in their context I want to argue the point that all of the Bible is for the church but all of the Bible is not to the church and in both of these contexts is and in verse number 10 of the Song of Solomon of that chapter the chiefest among ten thousand and in verse number eighteen of Saint John one only begotten I can only hear one message and what I hear is this there's nobody like Jesus [Applause] there's nobody like Jesus I don't know who counted them but there are 82 billion people who have lived and died there are six billion people now living on planet earth and there are billions more to be born but there's nobody like Jesus my reason for getting something out of the OL and the new is to illustrate which i think is the most profound eloquent and unequivocal fact about the Bible and that is the fact that the Bible is a Jesus book the Bible is the world's greatest book because of its Jesus miss the United States national library that we commonly call the Library of Congress in Washington DC and the Canadian National Library in Ottawa Canada have a combined total of over 100 million books but the Bible is the baddest book in the whole library and what makes the Bible what what makes the Bible the great book that it is is this jesus 'no sand so i take it out of the old and also the new because i want to say that jesus is the god of both Testaments he's the god of the old and the god of the new now if you believe in god and don't believe in Jesus you got a problem the believe in God and not believe in Jesus at the breathing water and not believe nice to believe in God and not believe in Jesus is to believe in rock and don't believe in stone to believe in God and not believe in Jesus is they believe in Nashville and don't believe in country music Kewpie to believe in God and don't believe in Jesus is to believe in apostolic and don't believe in Jesus name you cannot believe in one and not believe in the other so you cannot believe in God and not believe in Jesus [Applause] in the Old Testament Jesus is veiled but in the New Testament Jesus is unveiled the Old Testament Jesus is wrapped New Testament Jesus unwrapped the Old Testament is the intimate Jesus but the New Testament is the ultimate Jesus the Old Testament is Jesus the innermost but the New Testament is Jesus the uttermost the Old Testament is Jesus contained but the New Testament is Jesus explained the Old Testament is Jesus concealed but the New Testament is Jesus revealed the old testament you may be seated the Old Testament is Jesus unfolded but the New Testament is Jesus unfolded the Old Testament is the intimate Jesus the New Testament is the ultimate Jesus the Old Testament is the panoramic Jesus the New Testament is the Cyclorama Jesus the Old Testament is Jesus in picture the New Testament is Jesus in person the Old Testament is Jesus rechannel the New Testament is Jesus in substance the Old Testament is Jesus in ritual the New Testament is Jesus in reality the Old Testament is the Eternity of Jesus in the New Testament is the paternity of Jesus but it don't matter whether it's too old or the new Jesus is the god of both Testaments and there's nobody like Jesus there's nobody like Jesus and you know when you speak whenever you use the Song of Solomon you can't have to explain yourself because there are a lot of critics who think that the Song of Solomon does not belong in the Bible and the reason being is the writer of the Song of Solomon the hemolysis puts great emphasis upon the woman when you read the Song of Solomon you had noticed the description of the biological construction and the physical anatomy of the female homo sapien he talks about the woman's physical body from the tip of her lovely nose to the tips of her pretty toes and don't leave nothing in between out and so the critic says the book is too literal it is too physical it cannot be a book that is inspired but we know this the Holy Spirit wrote the book Solomon was the secretary he wrote it down on paper and the Bible takes the physical to teach the spiritual and the not so that teaches the supernatural Solomon wrote this book the Bible said in his first kings 432 he spake three thousand proverbs and his song was a thousand songs where eight thousand and five but this one is called the song of songs this is his superlative song of the thousand and five songs he built this one is the centrifugal and in this song when we applicated and interpretated before we celebrated we can see a relationship between Jesus Christ and his New Testament church and in this incident here in the Song of Solomon Solomon talking to the Shulamite girl and then this young lady was waiting for Solomon her lover to come by and she was half sleep half wait he came she missed him and she rushed out into the street looking for her lover and the street women said what are you doing out here you don't belong out here with us and she said I'm looking for my lover and they said to her looking for your lover what is thy beloved more than another beloved o thou fairest among women what does that beloved more than another beloved that Donald F so charges she responded my beloved is white and ruddy the chiefest among ten thousand in other words this is what you call a prodigy was Parabolica figurative representative you can't say it so I say it like this that Jesus amongst in thousand the superlative wonder of the universe that base among the mighty and the mightiest among the great the loftiest among the humble and the most humble among the lofty the sweetest among the lovely and I love this among the sweet and I'm looking for my lover and that lover was Jesus coz there's nobody like Jesus nobody like Jesus [Applause] you may be seated and so when Solomon talks off the air by our listen though thought the Bible said the Bible said in first Kings eleven and three he has seven hundred wives 300 concubines thousand women 360 days and a Jewish year if they spent one day with each one of these women it would take two years man must one week in three days to get around to all them the first time so anytime a man with that much experience about love talk we ought to listen he is this great love story [Applause] and this is a great love story between Jesus and his church and I want you I want you his church to know don't nobody love you like Jesus oh don't nobody love you like Jesus some of the critics said the book don't belong in the bowel because there are 13 words in the original text that are not Hebrew words they are not words of any language that the Jews had diplomatic relationships with but you have to understand when a man has a 700 wives and many of these are foreign women they speak other languages Solomon didn't know the languages of all of his wives so Solomon did like young American men do when they go into the military and they sent them to a foreign country they sent a young man to Japan he doesn't know the language but he does first learn how to say oh gee Oh son don't call me re Moscow I'm not our chili taki lovely young lady what is your name may I have a date with you Salomon learn enough about some of those languages they could eat at least speak to them and that's that's how are those foreign words got into the text but when we applicated we see this great love story between Jesus Christ and his New Testament church jesus loves you in the past he loves you in the present and he loves you in the future and Kate nobody stopped Jesus from loving you so the writer the writer the right of the st. John the writer st. John says in st. John 1:17 for the law was given by Moses and he says grace and truth came by Jesus Christ I'm so thankful that grace came in front of truth when you read the New Testament you didn't notice you never see nothing in front of grace grace fronts off everything if truth and grace would have come he never would have lived the see grace comes truth but it had she killed so grace and truth came by Jesus Christ and then st. John st. John gives us this profound statement he says no man has seen God at any time the only begotten Son only begotten in the greek texas mano genus mano is one only or unique and Zenith is a race of genera or species or a kind so somebody said carelessly recklessly and loosely look at Jesus he's one of a kind hold it everybody in here is one of a kind you have your own think you have your own fingerprint own voice tone Jesus is more than one of a kind Jesus is the only one of only kind there's nobody like Jesus nobody like Jesus Jesus sees this crisis in a class in the classification and a category all about himself in Hebrews 1 and 3 the Bible calls Jesus they express image of God person Jesus Christ is the person so we know him in Galatians 3 and 27 the Bible said for as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ when you put on price you get in Christ and Jesus Christ is a person becomes a place 2nd Corinthians 4 and 7 the Bible said we have this treasure in earthen vessel Colossians 1:27 that Christ in you the hope of glory this treasure in the earthen vessel is Jesus in you in the power of the Holy Ghost and Jesus becomes a thing in acts 2:38 Jesus is a ceremony we've been baptized in his name 1st Thessalonians 4:16 and 17 Jesus is the even coming back to get us look at Jesus is nobody like Jesus he's a person place thing ceremony and even if he's a person he's a who he's a place he's aware he's a thing he's a what he's a ceremony he's a why he's an evening he's a win only Jesus Christ can be a person place thing ceremony dinner in there there's nobody like Jesus [Applause] only only Jesus can be a person place thing ceremony and I eat even or who Quinn what we're in a why nobody like Jesus chiefest among ten thousand only begotten you don't know nobody just like Jesus know we're living in America today and we are experiencing the careless use of words I saw an article in a magazine called charisma I got so mad I was man enough to fight but I didn't fight because I'm save and no I'm saying I was there when I got saved but in that article in the charisma magazine they had the nerve to call the United Pentecostal church the other apostolic hold it y'all we are not too lovely a prosperous with a real Apostolic Palace they they called us to other Pentecostals with a real pineco so you see we use words so carelessly and in this country that language is so tricky words don't mean nothing you know what I mean after all a butterfly in a fly is a month and then the lion in a lion is a flower a color flower in a flower is the vegetable a jellyfish in a fish is a squid a kid mouse is not a mouse it's a bird a panda bear in a bear is related to the raccoon a chipmunk and a monkey so squirrel a polecat indicators of stuff a baboon in a Boone is a hate a pit bull in a bull is a dog a mountain lion in the lion is a cougar a sea cow in a town it's the walrus a funny bone in a bone is a nerve a peanut and another is a bean in a homosexual in a gaius a pervert yes [Applause] in in this careless in this careless use of words they have taken this great discreet word Pentecost you see I like that sign out on the road has said the Pentecostals that's a great word bent across though is the adjective of form of the noun Pentecost and that the course means you identify with a particular day in time on that particular day of Pentecost is when the church was birthed in the upper room not the supper room and when the church was birthed in the upper room John marks mother's house Peter preached that great sermon if spilled out into the street the Bible said that the same day they were added unto them about 3,000 Souls and the Bible said they continued steadfastly in the Apostles doctrine so here is the point you cannot be a Pentecostal without being and apostolic apostolic means like the Apostles and the real cost of your knowledge [Applause] and the Bible said the Bible said in the 11th chapter of Acts the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch now the word Christian we say the word Christian we say it means christ-like but that means somebody didn't look it up because the word Christian don't mean christ-like in the 14th chapter of Matthew verse 25 Jesus walked on water haven't seen nobody walking on no water dr. Frank meek I am seen you walk across the Ohio River yet the word Christian means Christ like they say I've never seen nobody takes three Big Mac hamburgers and feed everybody at the final four basketball tournament the word Christian don't mean fresh lake and there's nobody like Jesus the word the word the word Christian is taken from the Greek word Christian O's on page six hundred and seventy two column one and paragraph 3 of the greek-english lexicon of the New Testament Bible by the eminent Greek scholar dr. Joseph Henrich there he said that the word Christian referred to the people who were the followers and worshipers of Jesus Christ a Christian is a follower and a worshipper of Jesus anybody don't worship Jesus that don't count on who you worship if you don't worship Jesus that don't tell Muslims Muslims worship God call him aloud they don't count you're hoping witness worst doubt : Jehovah that don't count recourse advance worship God calling fails that don't count nobody gets no credit for worshiping God they say worship Jesus cause jesus said in the fourteenth chapter Saint John verse six I am the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the father but by me you had anybody ever talk like that jesus said I am the way Buddha said go that way Plato said go that way Muhammad said go that way jesus said I am the way jesus said he was the truth jesus said he was the life not the way you can't go without the truth you can know and without the life you can live so a Christian is a follower and a worshipper Jesus Matthew 4 and 10 the Bible says thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve you serve the God your worship I can hang out with you anybody in here one hour any one of the seven days of the 24 hours in the day I can tell you who your God is because you serve the dog you worship if you worship money you serve your business if your worship passion you serve clothes if they worship education you serve degrees if your worship knowledge you serve science if you're worshiping the demon instead of television if you worship the belly you serve food if you worship your body and serve exercise if he worship getting high you serve drugs let me encourage you worship God and serve Jesus because there's nobody like Jesus and Jesus is the only God but worshiping there's nobody like Jesus so they've taken those three great words fished in Pentecostal the Apostolic and they messed them up so bad they don't have no meaning but you can't be a Christian without being a Pentecostal you can't be a peanut costal without being an apostolic if you're not all three of them you're not none of them because you can't be one and not believe the other and Christianity is the worship of Jesus and the Christian faith in a definitive sense is the only faith only religion the world has ever seen that is not centered in a doctrine or Dogma a philosophy a moral code and ethical code a set of rules or a set of principles is centered in a person and that person is Jesus Christ and there's nobody like Jesus we love to brag about Jesus and boast about Jesus but sometimes I think we all to put Jesus on the witness stand let Jesus testified in his own behalf listen to Jesus he says in Revelation 1 in 8 he says I am Alpha and Omega the beginning and the ending not the end you're the ending E&D ing cuz the end ends but there is no end to the ending Jesus is the end end he's at I am Alpha and Omega the beginning and the ending saith the LORD which is it was well it was here is to come the Almighty now you call that a trench alliterated verse because they brought it out of the Greek into English and only pleated in English letters and they never did translated they transliterated it since they didn't translate it will translate it right now all right he says I am Alpha and Omega Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet equivalent to the English letter A Omega is the last letter of the Greek alphabet but it's English equivalence in in pronunciation and diction is the long o when you get a word with two holes together like the car said move the dose said boo the young folk think they cool if they poo they better stay in school the dropout is a fool [Applause]
