THAT GOD MADE US IN HIS IMAGE. WHY? HE MADE US IN HIS IMAGE AND HE
MADE US SO WE CAN HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. JUST LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD
THE REASON YOU HAVE A CHILD IS SO YOU CAN HAVE RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE CHILD. GOD MADE YOU AND I SO HE CAN
HAVE RELATIONSHIP. HE MADE US IN HIS IMAGE LIKE
THIS GLOVE IS MADE IN THE IMAGE OF A HAND. SO A HAND CAN FIT INSIDE AND
HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GLOVE. IF THIS GLOVE DID NOT HAVE A
HAND IN IT, IT COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. IT NEEDS THE HAND TO GO IN IT SO
IT WAS DESIGNED IN SHAPE OF A HAND SO A HAND CAN FIT INSIDE. GOD MADE YOU AND I IN HIS IMAGE
SO HE CAN LIVE INSIDE OF US AND HAVE RELATIONSHIP. TODAY WE'LL START A SERIES
CALLED RELATIONSHIP GOALS WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE GOALS ALL OF OUR
RELATIONSHIPS. THE TRINITY AND WHAT WE CAN
LEARN FROM THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FATHER, SON AND THE
HOLY SPIRIT. THAT'S GOING TO BE FOUNDATION OF
ALL THE RELATIONSHIP MESSAGES WE HAVE. MARRIAGE, DATING RELATIONSHIPS
AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT WHEN YOU HAVE THE WRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH
SEXUAL BEHAVIOR HOW IT REWIRES YOUR BRAIN. IN ABOUT MONTH. PEOPLE VIOLATED. MALE AND FEMALE. WHAT THAT DOES TO YOU AND HOW
GOD CAN BRING HEALING TO THAT. WE'LL TALK ABOUT ALL THESE
RELATIONSHIPS BUT TODAY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP,
THE FOUNDATION OF ALL RELATIONSHIPS IS THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT. LET'S DEFINE RELATIONSHIP. RELATIONSHIP IS HOW TWO OR MORE
OBJECTS OR PEOPLE RELATE OR INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER. HOW TWO OR MORE OBJECTS OR
PEOPLE, WHEN I SAY OBJECTS YOU AND YOUR DOG CAN HAVE A
RELATIONSHIP. HOW DO YOU INTERACT WITH EACH
OTHER? I HAVE AN INHERENT FEAR, NOT
FEAR BUT KIND OF EH WITH DOGS. OKAY? I ACTUALLY LOVE DOGS. THEY ARE FRIENDLY TO ME AND ME
THEM BUT I HAVE BEEN BIT AND MY BROTHER HAS BEEN BIT AND I'M
LIKE OKAY LET ME MAKE SURE WE'RE COOL SO MY RELATIONSHIP IS
HESITANT AT FIRST BUT THEN I EMBRACE THEM ONCE I KNOW - BUT
I'M ALWAYS LIKE LEERY. SO HOW DO YOU RELATE TO PEOPLE? HOW DO YOU RELATE TO FRIENDS OR
YOUR BOSS OR EMPLOYEES OR CLASSMATES OR TEACHER ET CETERA. HOW DO YOU RELATE TO GOD? HOW DO YOU AND GOD INTERACT? WHAT'S THE FOUNDATIONAL
PRINCIPLES? WHAT'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH
THE DEVELOP? I TWEETED OUT AND SOMEONE SAID I
DON'T HAVE ONE. YES YOU DO. HE'S YOUR ENEMY. THE BIBLE SAYS DO YOU HAVE
RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. THE BIBLE SAYS HE IS YOUR
DESTROYER AND YOU'RE ACCUSER. HE IS A LIAR, A MURDERER. HE'S YOUR ENEMY. SO YOU NEED TO KNOW HE'S AFTER
YOU AND NOW, RELATIONSHIP DOESN'T MEAN OH WE'RE FRIEND OR
WE'RE DATING OR GOING TO GET MARRIED IT'S HOW TWO PEOPLE
INTERACT OR BEHAVIOR TOWARD EACH OTHER AND EVERY PERSON YOU KNOW
YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE RELATIONSHIPS
WITH PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW AND WHAT PART I MEAN YOU SEE THEM ON
T.V. AND YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THEM BUT YOU HAVE HIS IMAGINARY,
I SHOULDN'T SAY THAT. IT'S AT A DISTANCE. SO HOWEVER YOU REACT WITH THEM
AND YOU TALK ABOUT THEM SO HOW SHOULD YOUR RELATIONSHIPS BEACON
DUCTED? WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS AND AS WE
TALK I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT ONE RELATIONSHIP, A SPOUSE,
SOMEONE YOU'RE DATING. SOMEONE YOU WANT TO DATE,
SOMEONE YOU'RE NOT GETTING LONG WITH. TO MAKE IT SIMPLE JUST THINK
ABOUT ONE RELATIONSHIP AS WE GO THROUGH TODAY ANYWAY AND COMPARE
HOW THAT RELATIONSHIP IS BEING CONDUCTED TO WHAT WE TALK ABOUT
TODAY. WHAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT TODAY IS
HOW THE FATHER RELATES TO THE SON AND HOLY SPIRIT. BECAUSE THEY ARE THE PERFECT
RELATIONSHIP. THE BIBLE SAYS WE HAVE ONE GOD
WITH THREE PERSONS. FATHER, SON. HOLY SPIRIT. THINK OF THE TRINITY THIS WAY. THERE'S THREE PEROSNALITIES WITH
THREE FUNCTIONS ALL UNITED. AH. WHEN SOMEONE GETS MARRIED THE
DEVIL WANTS TO MAKE THE ONE TWO. GOD WANTS THE TWO TO BECOME ONE
AND THE DEVIL WANTS THE ONE TO BECOME TWO AND GOD SAID I WANT
TO SHOW THE WORLD WHAT IT MEANS FOR TWO PEOPLE TO LOVE EACH
OTHER SO MUCH THEY BECOME ONE, OKAY? BECAUSE THE FATHER AND SON
AND HOLY SPIRIT ARE ONE. THEY HAVE DIFFERENT THINGS THINK
ABOUT CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AND ONE PERSON SAYS HERE'S THE PLAN
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THEM ALL AND
THIS GUIDE DESIGNS THEM ALL. THEN HE SENDS SOMEONE ELSE TO
SIGN THE CONTRACT WITH THE CITY AND THEN SENDS SOMEONE ELSE TO
ACTUALLY BUILD THEM ALL. SO GOD THE FATHER IN GENERAL
TERMS HAD THE PLAN OF SALVATION. HE SENT HIS SON TO SIGN THE
CONTRACT WITH HIS BLOOD AND HIS SON LEFT AND SENT THE HOLY
SPIRIT TO BRING IT IN OUR LIFE. THEY HAVE THREE DIFFERENT ROLE
BUT THEY'RE ALL GOD AND ALL THREE OF THEM ARE ALL POWERFUL
AND ALL THREE OF THEM ARE ALL KNOWING AND ETERNAL AND THE
LORD'S PRAYER. JESUS SAID HERE'S HOW YOU PRAY. OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN AND
MANY TIMES JESUS PRAYED TO THE FATHER. WELL THE FATHER IS GOD AND THEN
BIBLE SAYS IN JOHN 1:1. THE WORD IN THE BEGINNING WAS
WITH GOD AND WAS GOD AND IN 14, THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT
AMONG US AND THEN THE FIRE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THE BIBLE SAYS,
LIED TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THEY LIED TO GOD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
IS GOD AND SO EACH ONE OF THEM IS GOD BUT THEY HAVE DIFFERENT
ROLLS AND THEY HAD TO RELATE TO EACH OTHER AND SO WHAT CAN WE
LEARN ABOUT HOW THEY RELATED TO EACH OTHER AND APPLY THAT TO OUR
LIVES BECAUSE LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING? THOSE PRINCIPALS APPLY TO ALL OF
OUR LIVES. NO MORE IN YOUR NOTES NUMBER 1
IN YOUR NOTES AS YOUR FIRST RELATIONSHIP GOAL IS COMMON
RELATIONSHIP GOAL YOU MUST HAVE ONE TO FULFILL GOD'S PURPOSES IN
YOUR LIFE. ONCE YOU THINK ABOUT THAT
RELATIONSHIP IN YOUR LIFE. ARE YOU COMMITTED TO FULFILLING
GOD'S PURPOSES IN YOUR LIFE? TURN TO MATTHEW 6:33. MATTHEW 6:33-34. I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THIS. WHATEVER RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE,
DO YOU BOTH LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND SAY WE ARE BOTH COMMITTED
FULFILLING GOD'S PURPOSES IN THIS RELATIONSHIP? NOW LET ME BACK UP ONE STEP. I WANT TO CHALLENGE YOU TO THINK
ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF. WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR, DO
YOU LOVE YOURSELF? YOU HATE YOURSELF? DO YOU DOUBT YOURSELF? DO YOU RECENT YOURSELF? DO YOU TRUST GOD LOVES YOU AND
THAT YOU HAVE A PURPOSE AND HE HAS A PURPOSE IN YOUR LIFE? IN SAN DIEGO, 400 PLUS PEOPLE A
YEAR KILL THEMSELVES. AND MANY MORE ATTEMPT, BUT DON'T
SUCCEED. THAT'S JUST A SMALL TIP OF THE
ICEBERG IN EVERY CITY AROUND THE WORLD THAT HAVE SOMETHING
NEGATIVE ABOUT THEMSELVES. BECAUSE THE DEVIL HAS PLANT AND
LIE IN THEIR HEART THAT THEY BELIEVE. IT NOSE AT KINGDOM OF GOD. TRUTH. IT'S A SATANIC LIE ABOUT
YOURSELF AND YOURSELF WORTH THAT THERE IS NONE. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO
UNDERSTAND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU TALK TO
YOURSELF ALL DAY LONG. YOU HAVE CONVERSATION WITH YOU
ALL DAY AND SO DO YOU LIKE YOU? DO YOU ENJOY YOU? DO YOU VALUE WHO GOD MADE IN YOU
AND WHAT HE HAS FOR YOU? REMEMBER HE MADE YOU IN HIS
PURPOSE AND HIS IMAGE AND HE MADE YOU FOR HIS PURPOSES? SO WHERE YOU AT WITH THAT? BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR
PURPOSE SOMEONE ELSE WILL GIVE YOU A PURPOSE. AND IF YOU'RE NOT LIVING IN
GOD'S PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE A SUBPAR
PURPOSE ONE THAT WILL NEVER FULFILL YOU. AND SO THE FIRST THING YOU HAVE
TO DO IS DO I BELIEVE IN GOD'S PURPOSE FOR MY LIFE AND THEN IN
THIS RELATIONSHIP DO WE HAVE AGREEMENT AGAIN, YOUR SPOUSE,
YOUR FRIEND, YOUR TEACHER. EVEN IN YOUR TEACHER, DO WE HAVE
AN AGREEMENT ON WHAT THIS RELATIONSHIP IS ABOUT? YOU ARE GOING TO TEACH ME MATH. I'M NOT GOOD AT MATH BUT I AM. ENGLISH. YOU'RE GOING TO TEACH ME
ENGLISH, I HATED ENGLISH AND YOU'RE GOING TO TEACH ME ENGLISH
AND LET'S AGREE ON THE PURPOSE. I JUST WANT TO PASS. I DON'T NEED TO GET AN-A I JUST
WANT TO PASS. MY TEACHER SAYS I WANT YOU TO
MAKE AN-A BUT I DON'T. WE HAVE A CREATION OF A PURPOSE
ARE. YOU ON THE SAME PAGE IN MATTHEW
6:33 SEEK YE FIRST KINGDOM OF GOD. AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ALL
THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU THEREFORE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT
TOMORROW FOR TOMORROW MR. WORRY ABOUT IT'S OWN THINGS. SEEK YE FIRST KINGDOM OF GOD. IN WHATEVER RELATIONSHIP YOU
IDENTIFIED EVEN IF IT'S JUST YOU, YOU SAY TO THAT PERSON OR
YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR, I WANT TO SEEK GOD'S PURPOSE IN MY
LIFE. SAY THAT WITH ME OUT LOUD. I'LL SAY IT ONCE MORE AND THEN
HAVE YOU REPEAT IT. I WANT TO SEE GOD'S PURPOSE FOR
MY LIFE. IF EVERY DAY WHEN YOU WOKE UP
YOU SAID I WANT TO FULFILL YOUR PURPOSE IN MY LIFE. NOT I'M GOING TO GET UP AND KIND
OF GO TO WORK. I WANT TO SEEK YOUR PURPOSE FOR
MY LIFE. YOU KNOW WHEN THE FATHER AND SON
AND HOLY SPIRIT CREATED HEAVENS AND THE EARTH THEY ALL HAD THE
SAME PURPOSE WASN'T LIKE FATHER WAS TRYING TO CREATE THE HEAVENS
BEAUTIFUL AND EVERYTHING GOOD. THE PLANTS WERE GOOD, THE FISH
WERE GOOD THE BUGS AND THE MAN WAS GOOD. EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. NOT LIKE TWO SAID IT'S GOOD AND
THE OTHER ONE SAID IT'S NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND. THEY ALL THAT SAME PURPOSE YOU. KNOW WHEN THEY PLANNED AND
EXECUTED SALVATION THEY ALL HAD THE SAME PURPOSE. FATHER SAID LOOK JESUS YOU'RE
GOING TO DIE AND AFTER YOU DIE YOU'RE GOING TO RISE FROM THE
DEAD AND WALK AROUND FOR 40 DAYS AND THEN I'M GOING TO SEND THE
HOLY SPIRIT TO LIVE IN THEM. NOT LIKE THE HOLY SPIRIT SAID I
DON'T LIKE THAT PLAN. I'M A DOVE, I'M NOT REALLY A
DOVE AND NO ONE LISTENS TO ME. I'M NOT FEELING THAT. WHY NOT LET ME GO AROUND AND
WALK AROUND AND LET JESUS GO IN THEIR HEART. NO, NO, NO. THE PLAN IS WE WANT TO DELIVER
PEOPLE FROM THEIR SIN AND THIS HOW IT WILL GO. WE'RE ALL IN AGREEMENT. YOU FOLLOWING ME? CAN YOU IMAGINE IF YOU SAID TO
THIS PERSON ARE YOU ON THE SAME PAGE WE NEED TO FULFILL GOD'S
PURPOSE IN THIS RELATIONSHIP? IF IT'S DATING WE WANT TO HONOR
GOD WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP IF YOU'RE MY BOSS I WANT YOU TO
HELP ME BE BEST AT MY JOB IF YOU'RE MY TEACHER I WANT, LET'S
AGREE ON WHAT GRADE I'M TRYING TO GET, OKAY? I'M NOT SAYING YOU
SHOULDN'T WANT TO GET THE BEST GRADE BUT JUST BETWEEN YOU AND
GOD BUT HERE'S THE AGREEMENT. YOU SHOULD GO UP TO YOUR TEACHER
AND SAY WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE BECAUSE I WAS ENGINEERING
STUDENT IN COLLEGE AND I HAD A TEACHER, DR. SSRAS. I STILL REMEMBER HIS NAMES AND
HE BELIEVED IN ME MORE THAN I BELIEVED IN MYSELF. AND I HAD HIM FOR THERMODYNAMICS
AND DYNAMICS AND THERMODYNAMICS AND I THINK BIOCHEMISTY. SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND EVERY
TIME I GO BACK THERE I VISIT HIM. HE WAS THERE THREE YEARS AGO
WHEN I WAS THERE AND I WAS TALKING TO HIM ABOUT ANOTHER
STUDENT IN THE CLASS THAT GOT A'S AND EVERYTHING. AND MY TEACHER TOLD ME I WAS
SMARTER THAN HIM. HE SAID YOU'RE MORE TALENTED
THAN HIM AND I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM. I STILL DON'T. I WAS LIKE REALLY? HE SAW SOMETHING IN ME THAT I
DID NOT SEE IN MYSELF. I WAS TRYING TO SURVIVE, RIGHT? AND WE HAD DIFFERENT AND IT WAS
SO ENCOURAGING WHEN HE TOLD ME I WISH I WOULD HAVE ASKED HIM THAT
IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SEMESTER. BUT IMAGINE IF YOU WENT UP TO
YOUR TEACHER AND SAID LET'S ESTABLISH THE PURPOSE HERE. I WANT TO GET AN A OR I, MY WIFE
AND I BEFORE WE GOT SAVED I REMEMBER OUR RELATIONSHIP WAS UP
AND DOWN AND WE HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS WHERE'S THIS
RELATIONSHIP GOING? WHAT ARE WE DOING? AND A LOT OF YA'LL MAY BE IN
RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOURSELF OR OTHER PEOPLE WHERE IT'S NOT
GOING ANYWHERE. IT'S GOOD AND BAD AND GOOD AND
BAD. IT'S DYSFUNCTIONAL AND NOT GOING
ANYMORE AND GOD IS LIKE THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT. THAT'S NOT A KINGDOM OF GOD
RELATIONSHIP. YOU CAN SIT DOWN AND HAVE A
CONVERSATION AND SAY CAN WE AGREE THIS RELATIONSHIP NEEDS TO
BE, HAVE A KINGDOM OF GOD A PURPOSE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A LINE WITH
THE KINGDOM AND WORD OF GOD. FULL OF PEACE AND LOVE AND JOY
AND THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS EVERYTHING WILL BE ADDED. PEACE, LOVE, JOY, PATIENCE AND
KINDNESS AND CLARITY. ALIGN IT WITH GOD. HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH
YOURSELF. NUMBER 2 IN YOUR NOTES. NUMBER 2. EVERY RELATIONSHIP NEEDS TO HAVE
A COMMON RELATIONSHIP GOAL TO HONOR ONE ANOTHER. TO HONOR. THE FATHER AND WHAT I MEAN BY
THIS IN HONOR IS THAT YOU HONOR THE ROLE THAT OTHER PERSON HAS
IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. THE FATHER ESTABLISHED THE PLAN
OF SALVATION. THE BIBLE SAYS IN GALATIANS 4. WHEN THE FULLNESS OF TIME CAME
HE SENT HIS SON TO DIE AND THEN HE SAID, HE SENT THE HOLY
SPIRIT. THAT WAS HIS ROLE. THE SON SAID I'M GOING TO GO DIE
AND THAT'S HIS ROLE. THE HOLY SPIRIT SAID I'M GOING
TO LIVE IN EVERYONE'S HEART AND THAT'S HIS ROLE. THEY ALL HAD A SPECIFIC ROLE AND
THEY DIDN'T TRY TO DO THE OTHER ONE'S ROLE. WHAT IS YOUR ROLE IN THE
KINGDOM? I WENT TO A CONFERENCE 30 YEARS
AGO AND IT WAS ABOUT 60 PEOPLE IN THIS CONFERENCE. AND THEY HAD WORKSHOPS AND ONE
OF THEM WAS ON EVANGELISM SO I HAD THIS, I LIKE DOING
EVANGELISM AND I SAID I WANT TO GO TO THIS WORKSHOP TO FIND OUT
WHAT EVANGELISM IS SOMETHING. I REMEMBER GOING TO A WORKSHOP
AND NOBODY CAME TO THE WORKSHOP BUT ME. NOW AS SOMEONE THAT DOES
WORKSHOPS AT CONFERENCES I'M LIKE, YOU WANT PEOPLE TO COME
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHO'S GOING TO COME UNTIL THEY DO OR DON'T
AND I WAS LIKE THE ONLY ONE THAT CAME AND I THOUGHT MAN THAT'S
MESSED UP FOR HIM BUT GOOD FOR ME SO THIS ONE GUY TAUGHT ON
EVANGELISM AND I REMEMBER SITTING THERE AND THIS WAS LIKE
30 SOMETHING YEARS AGO AND WE SAT LOOKING AT EACH OTHER AND HE
REVEALED TO ME BASED ON HIS WORKSHOP CONTENT THAT MY ROLE IN
THE KINGDOM WAS AN EVANGELIST. I DID NOT KNOW THAT. I REMEMBER WALKING OUT DOWN THE
HALL JUST, I'M AN EVANGELIST. I'M AN EVANGELIST. IT WAS SO CLEAR. WHAT IS YOUR ROLE IN THE KINGDOM
OF GOD? BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE
DEVIL WILL GIVE YOU A PERVERTED ONE AND PEOPLE WILL GIVE YOU A
PERVERTED ONE. PEOPLE WILL SAY CAN YOU DO THIS? CAN YOU COUNSEL IN NO, I'M AN
EVANGELIST. CAN YOU DO THIS? NO, I'M AN EVANGELIST. CAN YOU? NO I'M AN EVANGELIST AND PEOPLE
WILL PULL YOU BECAUSE WHAT THEY WANT. I NEED TO TALK TO YOU. NO YOU DON'T. YOU DON'T NEED TO TALK TO ME I'M
AN EVANGELIST. I GET IT ALL THE TIME. I HAVE TO - ONLY YOU CAN PRAY
FOR ME. NO, BECAUSE IF I COUNSEL YOU
HERE'S HOW THE COUNSELING WILL GO, YOU NEED TO GET SAVED YOU
NEED TO GET SAVED, WHY? BECAUSE I'M AN EVANGELIST IF YOU
HIT A HAMMER ON ESCHEW WILL IT DO THIS NOT THIS. LOOK WHAT IT SAYS IN FIRST
CORINTHIANS 20. 12
VERSE 20. SOME OF YA'LL ARE LIKE, MAN MY
BIBLE DOESN'T HAVE THAT. I GOT TO GET AN UPDATED BIBLE. NO I WAS WRONG. HONEY I THINK WE HAVE TO GO TO
THE BOOKSTORE. THEY UPDATED THE WORK. VERSE 12:20. NOW INDEED THERE'S MANY MEMBERS
AND YET ONE BODY THE EYE CANNOT SAY TO THE HAND I HAVE NO NEED
OF YOU. NOR AGAIN THE HEAD TO THE FEET I
HAVE NO NEED FOR YOU. MUCH RATHER THOSE MEMBERS OF THE
BAD SEEM TO BE WEAKER OR NECESSARY AND THOSE MEMBERS THAT
WE THINK ARE LESS HONORABLE ON THESE WE BESTOW GREATER HONOR
BUT GOD COMPOSED THE BODY HAVING GIVEN GREATER TO THE PARTS THAT
LACK. HERE'S THE BODY OF CHRIST. YOU ARE PART OF THE BODY. YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE BODY IF
YOU ASKED CHRIST TO BE YOUR SAVIOR? IF YOU ARE A HAND ACT LIKE A
HAND IF YOU'RE A HAND TRYING TO BE A MOUTH YOU'RE GOING TO FAIL
BECAUSE HANDS CANNOT TALK LIKE M MOUTHS. THEY PERSON TASTE PATE IN
TALKING AND YOU CAN COMMUNICATE TO SOME DEGREE WITH SIGN
LANGUAGE BUT A HAND IS MEANT TO DO THING AS MOUTH CANNOT DO AND
A MOUTH IS MEANT TO DO THING AS HAND CANNOT DO. IF YOU'RE A FOOT TRYING TO BE AN
EYE YOU CANNOT DO THAT AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR ROLE IN THE
KINGDOM NO ONE ELSE GOING TO NOT KNOW IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T EVEN
KNOW IT AND IF YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR ROLE AND YOU'RE AN EYE
TRYING TO BE A MOUTH YOU WILL WAKE UP AND GO TO BED EVERY DAY
FRUSTRATED BECAUSE YOU'LL TRY TO TALK AND YOUR EYES ARE GOING TO
BE LIKE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TALK, I'M AN EYE. ONE OF THE THINGS I AM IS A
MOUTH. SO I'M NOT NATURALLY, YOU KNOW
LIKE I HAVE COUNSEL FRIENDS THAT LOVE TO LISTEN. THAT'S JUST NOT ME. I LISTEN LIKE I DON'T GET
ENERGIZED BY LISTENING. I GET ENERGIZED BY TALKING? IS THAT BAD? NO IT'S THE WAY GOD CREATED ME
AND HE HAD ME GROW UP IN NEW YORK WHERE IT WAS LIKE ON
STEROIDS. BECAUSE WE'RE JUST LIKE SO
COMBATIVELY TALKERS. HIS DESIGN IF YOU DON'T KNOW
YOUR DESIGN YOU'RE GOING TO WAKE UP EVERY DAY FRUSTRATED AND
YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET SATISFACTION OUT OF WORK AND OUT
OF SIN AND SEXUAL PROMISCUITY AND DRUGS AND TRY TO FILL THAT
EMPTINESS DIFFERENT WAYS AND GOD WILL SAY YOU HAVE THE WRONG
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF. AND THEN YOU'RE DATING
RELATIONSHIPS YOU'RE THINKING WHY DO I ATTRACT THESE KNUCKLE
HEADS? BECAUSE THEY SOMEHOW THINK
THEY'RE COMPATIBLE WITH YOU. BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT WALKING - YOU
DON'T KNOW YOUR ROLE IN THE KINGDOM. ONE OF THE PURPOSE OF LIFE
CLASSES IS TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR PURPOSE AND ROLE
AND DESIGN SO YOU CAN, BECAUSE EVERYONE SINGLE ONE OF YOU WERE
DESIGNED FOR SOMETHING. NOT JUST TO GO TO WORK BECAUSE
WHEN GOD CREATED HEAVENS AND THE EARTH YOUR WORK DIDN'T EXIST. HE HAD SOMETHING ETERNALLY
PLANNED FOR YOU. IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU DON'T DO
YOUR JOB IF YOU'RE A TRUCK DRIVE AND KNOW YOU'RE AN EVANGELIST
YOU WILL WAKE UP JACKED UP TO DRIVE THAT TRUCK BECAUSE GOING
TO MEET SOMEBODY ON THE FIVE OR EAST COAST ON THE 95 OR IF YOU
DRIVING ON THE 10 GOING ACROSS THE COUNTRY ON THE 40, YOU'RE
GOING TO MEET SOMEBODY AND GOD IS GOING TO SAY THERE'S YOUR
MISSION FOR TODAY. SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH THEM AND
YOU'RE GOING TO WALK OVER THERE AND BY THE WAY, YES I'M
STEREOTYPING TRUCK DRIVERS OKAY. DON'T BE OFFENDED JUST EMBRACE
IT AND YOU'RE GOING TO SAY, HEY, AND SHARE YOUR GOSPEL BECAUSE
YOU KNOW THAT'S YOUR PURPOSE. THE TRUCK IS JUST THE VEHICLE. NO PUN INTENDED. BUT IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR
PURPOSE, YOU'RE GETTING UP LIKE THIS. I GOT TO GO TO WORK TODAY. GOD CREATED YOU TO LIVE INSIDE
OF YOU AND GIVE YOU LIFE. SO WHY YOU GETTING UP LIKE THAT? BECAUSE YOU'RE STIFLING GOD. HE'S TRYING TO FLOW THROUGH YOU. TO BUILD AND GROW THE KINGDOM OF
GOD ON EARTH AND YOU DON'T KNOW HOW. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND THAT RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS CALL
ON YOUR LIFE EVERY RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE WILL BE SKEWED. IT WILL BE LESS THAN. MY WIFE NEEDS TO KNOW. AND SHE DOES THAT I'M AN
EVANGELIST SO SHE CAN PRAY FOR THAT AND SUPPORT THAT. IF SHE'S LIKE, I DON'T LIKE THAT
YOU'RE AN EVANGELIST WE HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE IN ANY
RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT GOD HAS CALLED ME TO BE. GOD HAS CALLED HER AS A SUPPORT
TO ME. WHAT HAS GOD CALLED YOU TO? THAT'S THE MOST EXCITING ROLE
YOU CAN HAVE IN YOUR LIFE AND I'LL SAY SOMETHING TO SOME OF
YOU YOUR MOMS THAT YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE. SOME OF YOU HAVE COME TO WORSHIP
MOTHER SHIP OVER GOD. MOTHERHOOD IS, I DON'T KNOW JOB
HARDER THAN THAT BUT YOU NEED GOD. THE, PROBABLY THE ONLY JOB
HARDER THAN THAT IS LOVING YOUR MAN. BECAUSE HE IS A KNUCKLE HEAD,
CAN I GET AN AMEN LADIES? AMEN. I JUST FELT SOME HIP IN THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU EVER TAKEN A
PICTURE OF WOMEN, I TAKE PICTURES ALL THE TIME AND
INEVITABLY IN 99 PERCENT OF THE PICTURES I TAKE I FEEL THIS
RIGHT BEFORE THE PICTURE IS TAKEN. UH. I SAID HIP IS COMING. UH. AND WHEN YA'LL JUST SAID WHAT
YOU JUST SAID I JUST FELT THAT. WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE? LOOK AT NUMBER THREE IN YOUR
NOTES. IN EVERY RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE
YOU HAVE A COMMON RELATIONSHIP GOAL TO GLORIFY GOD, NOT
YOURSELF. EVERYONE SAY IT'S NOT ABOUT ME. YOU WANT TO LESSEN THE STRESS ON
YOUR LIFE? BELIEVE THAT WITH ALL OF YOUR
HEART. YOU ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT. IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU. THE DEVIL WANTS YOU TO THINK
IT'S ABOUT YOU. THE DEVIL WANTS TO KEEP YOU
LOOKING HOW TALENT YOU'D ARE AND GOOD-LOOKING YOU ARE. THE CONTRIBUTION YOU MADE. LOOK AT ALL THE MONEY YOU HAVE. LOOK AT THIS AND THAT AND HOW
MUCH EDUCATION YOU HAVE. PLEASE. IT'S SO MANY MORE PEOPLE BETTER
LOOKING THAN YOU. CAN I GET AN AMEN? OKAY. MY WIFE ASKED ME SOMETIMES, ON A
REGULAR BASIS, THERE WILL BE A LADY ON T.V., EVERY MONTH,
PROBABLY NOT EVERY MONTH BUT SHE'S HERE SO I'LL SAY EVERY
MONTH JUST TO MESS WITH HER. THERE'S A NEW CHICK ON T.V. THAT
SHE'LL SAY TO ME, YOU THINK SHE'S CUTE? [LAUGHTER] NOW, FELLAS, JUST IN CASE YOU
DON'T KNOW, THAT IS THE A TRAP. JUST IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW. MY WIFE ASKS ME. IT'S VERY STRATEGIC BECAUSE I
CAN FEEL THE QUESTION COMING BECAUSE THERE'S A CERTAIN TREMOR
THAT HAPPENS RIGHT BEFORE AND THERE'S A BODY LANGUAGE. LIKE OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE
SHE WILL POSITION HERSELF WHERE SHE CAN SEE MY FACE WHEN SHE ASK
THE QUESTION. SHE NEVER ASK THE QUESTION FROM
BEHIND ME. SHE'LL JUST MOVE INTO POSITION
AND SAY, SO YOU THINK SHE'S CUTE? I'M TRYING TO THINK ABOUT WHY I
BROUGHT THAT UP. [LAUGHTER] I REALLY JUST FORGOT. I DID. I'LL REMEMBER. IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD. IT WAS
GOOD, THE REASON I BROUGHT IT UP. OH, OH. HERE'S WHY. [LAUGHTER] ALWAYS SOMEBODY PRETTIER. THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEBODY
PRETTIER. THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE SMARTER
AND MY ANSWER TO MY WIFE IS, DO YOU THINK SHE'S PRETTY? FELLAS YOU NEVER, WHATEVER YOU
CAN DO TO NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION, DO THAT. BUT HOWEVER MY WIFE AND I, AND I
TELL HER, THERE ARE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE
SOMEONE YOUNGER, SMARTER, MORE TALENTED, IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT. IT ABOUT YOU BEING WHAT GOD
CALLED YOU TO BE. AND YOU GLORIFYING GOD WITH WHAT
HE HAS GIVEN YOU IF YOU EVER SAID, WELL IF I HAD THAT, I
CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY PASTORS, THEY WANT THIS. I WAS LIKE, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU ARE SAYING. JUST BE FAITHFUL WITH WHAT YOU
HAVE. THERE'S OTHER PASTORS SIZE OF
THE SPORTS ARENA AND GO WOW I CAN'T IMAGINE THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF THAT GUY. OR THAT WOMAN. BE FAITHFUL WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. THAT'S ALL YOU'RE GOING TO BE
MEASURED ON. LOOK WHAT IT SAYS. LET ME READ A COUPLE TO YOU. AS THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY
SPIRIT ALL GLORIFIED EVERYONE. JOHN 13:16. HOWEVER WHEN HE THE SPIRIT OF
TRUTH WILL COME HE'LL GUIDE YOU IN TRUTH AND WHATEVER HE SPEAKS
HE WILL TELL YOU THE THINGS TO COME AND THEN IN 14, HE WILL
GLORIFY ME FOR HE WILL TAKE WHAT DOES MINE AND DECLARE TO IT YOU. JOHN 17:1-5. JESUS SPOKE THESE THINGS AND
LIFTED HIS EYES TO HEAVEN. GLORIFY YOUR SON THAT YOUR SON
MAY GLORIFY YOU AS YOU HAVE GIVEN HIM AUTHORITY OVERALL
FLESH THAT HE'S GIVEN ETERNAL LIFE TO AS MANY AS YOU HAVE
GIVEN HIM. THE FATHER GLORIFIED THE SON AND
THE SON GLORIFIED THE FATHER AND THEY KEPT REFERRING TO THE OTHER
ONE. NONE OF THEM SAID, LOOK AT ME. AND IF YOU'RE IN A RELATIONSHIP
AND YOU CAN SEE THIS PERSON. ARE WE COMMITTED AND CLEAR ABOUT
THE KINGDOM OF GOD PURPOSE OF OUR RELATIONSHIP? WHY ARE WE IN RELATIONSHIP? NUMBER 1, NUMBER 2 WHAT IS YOUR
ROLE IN THE KINGDOM? HOW CAN I ENCOURAGE THAT ROLE? YOUR ROLE IN THE KINGDOM? IMAGINE IF YOU AS A SERVANT SAID
TO OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE I WANT TO KNOW YOUR PURPOSE IN THE
LIFE. I WANT TO HELP YOU. AND NUMBER THREE, LET'S GLORIFY
GOD AND MAKE GOD LOOK GOOD IN OUR RELATIONSHIP AND IN OUR
BODY. LOOK WHAT IT SAYS IN FIRST
CORINTHIANS 6. WE'LL END WITH THIS VERSE. FIRST CORINTHIANS 6 IT SAYS
VERSE 18, IT SAYS SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND WE'LL TALK MORE
ABOUT THAT NEXT WEEK. EVERY SIN THAT A MAN DOES IS
OUTSIDE THE BODY HE'LL COMMIT SEXUAL SIN IS AGAINST THE BODY. SOME OF YA'LL THINK ALL SIN IS
THE SAME. IT'S NOT. IT SAYS IT RIGHT THERE. BUT SEXUAL SIN IS AGAINST THE
BODY AND IS DIFFERENT. AND THEN IT SAYS IN VERSE 19 AND
WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT IN THE COMING WEEKS, DO YOU NOT
KNOW YOUR BODY IS A TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHOM YOU HAVE
FROM GOOD YOU ARE NOT YOU'RE OWN. EVERYONE SAY I AM NOT MY OWN. YOU ARE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE. JESUS CHRIST ROSE FROM THE DEAD
TO GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. HE PAID FOR YOUR SALVATION FOR
YOUR SIN WITH HIS BLOOD AND THEN IT SAYS THEREFORE, EVERYONE SAY
THEREFORE. THEREFORE IS A TRANSITION
THEORETICAL TO THE PRACTICAL BECAUSE YOU'RE LOST A SINNER
WITH NO HOPE AND JESUS DIED TO GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE
SAVED, THEREFORE BECAUSE OF THAT, GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY. EVERYONE DO THIS. TAP YOUR SHOULDER THREE TIMES
LIKE THAT. ONE, TWO, THREE. LISTEN, KEEP DOING IT. KEEP DOING IT AND LISTEN. KEEP DOING IT AND LISTEN. YOU HEAR THAT? SAY AMEN IF YOU HEAR THAT. SOME OF YA'LL ARE LIKE-I DON'T
WANT TO BREAK. I DON'T WANT TO BREAK. GLORIFY GOD WITH THIS. SAY ONLY WHAT GLORIFIES HIM. DON'T SLANDER YOUR BROTHER. THAT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF MURDER. DON'T GOSSIP. DON'T LIE. DON'T LOOK LUSTFULLY. YOU SHOULDN'T HEAR GARBAGE THAT
GOES IN YOUR HEAD AND CREATES SINFUL THOUGHTS. GLORIFY GOD WITH THIS AND USE IT
IN AWAY TO HONOR HIM. NOT HONORS YOU. THAT FULFILLS HIS PURPOSE NOT
YOURS. IN A MINUTE WE'RE GOING TO PRAY. AND GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO
SAY LORD I WANT TO ESTABLISH A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU A RIGHT
ONE. I WANT YOU TO COME IN MY LIFE
AND FILL ME UP AND USE ME THE WAY YOU SEE FIT SO I CAN FULFILL
YOUR KINGDOM PURPOSE. SOME OF YOU HAVE ASKED HIM TO
COME IN YOUR LIFE AND YOU ARE FIGHTING HIM. YOU ARE THE GLOVE THAT DOESN'T
WANT TO COMPLY WITH THE HAND. STOP. YOU CAN'T BEAT GOD. YOU JUST CAN'T. SO I WANT TO ASK ALL OF YOU IN
ALL THE CAMPUSES AND PRISON AND MILITARY AND MICRO SITES BOW
YOUR HEADS AND CLOSE YOUR EYES AND LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY. GOD WANTS A RELATIONSHIP, A
LIFE-GIVING RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ESTABLISH
OR RE-ESTABLISH THAT RELATIONSHIP BY SURRENDERING
YOUR LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST AND ASKING HIM TO COME LIVE IN YOUR
HEART, IT'S NOT A RELIGIOUS THING IT'S A RELATIONSHIP THING. IT'S A ONENESS WITH GOD THING. I WANT YOU TO PRAY THIS PRAYER
WITH ME AND THE PRAYER IS NOT MAGICAL IT'S SIMPLY YOU STATING
BY FAITH THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE PARAMETERS OF THE RELATIONSHIP
THAT GOD IS GOD AND YOU AND I ARE NOT. THAT WE'RE SINFUL AND HE
IS HOLY AND THAT WE ARE SURRENDERING OUR LIFE TO HIM. IF GOD SPOKE TO YOU DURING THAT SERMON AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WANT TO ASK CHRIST TO BE YOUR SAVIOR, IT'S AS SIMPLE AS A-B-C.
