love that you're there if you're on youtube we're excited that you're there if you're watching us through our app we are elated that you're there we don't care how you come in we're just glad that you are with us it's hot down here in houston but this word that i have for you today should heat up your situation last week we talked about a strategy for the unperfect today i think i've got a word that will accompany that word and i want to walk through it so that way we can see what it is that god actually has to say to us you know i am of the opinion that everything that god wants to say to us he can say has said and will say through the word of god one scripture says the word of god is like a lent to my feet and it is a light to my path that is to suggest that the word of god will illuminate any path that you get ready to take i want to go to a familiar passage of scripture let's go to the new testament last week and if you enjoyed uh last week's message a strategy for the unperfect uh make sure that you let our team know because we actually want to bring you relevant word that will help you in your everyday life so just holler at us and let us know that you enjoyed that word and we always archive our messages on youtube so that after you watch us live uh shortly thereafter you can go back to youtube and subscribe to our channel and make sure you're watching it again because the word of god says this in psalms 101 he says blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly nor standeth in the way of the sinner nor sits in the seat of the scornful but his delight is in the law of the lord and he meditates on it day and night the word meditates mean you can't just get it on the first take you have to do it day and night so after you watch it live and you get the holy spirit to revealing what it is he wants to say to you go back look at it again and meditate on it at night second corinthians chapter four verse eight second corinthians chapter four verse number let's do seven let's do seven uh my team told me uh earlier about verse seven so i had eight on there let's go and do number seven and i'll read verse eight just because i like the way it sounds i might not preach on it but i just like the way it sounds second corinthians four and seven says but we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of god and not of us verse 8 says we are troubled on every side yet not distressed we are perplexed but not yet in the despair verse 9 i got to do it persecuted but not forsaken cast down but not destroyed but we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power of god and not of us that the power may be of god and not of us i want to talk on this subject i'm going to talk on this subject are you ready for it some of you all have been looking at a way out four way out the devil has been knocking at your door whether it's the door to your mind your heart your soul your vision you haven't known what to do you don't know what to do you don't know how to respond this is what i'm going to talk about today you ready this is my message today i want to talk about self-defense i want to talk about self defense because sometimes in your life you can't depend on somebody else to look out for you sometimes you got to do it for yourself let's talk about self defense you know when you read this letter that paul has written to the church at corinth this is his second letter you have to ask yourself why does anybody repeat themselves if you have children you know that sometimes you have to tell them something sometimes they get it on the first time every once in a while you have to tell them again why does a person repeat themselves why does god say abraham abraham why does god say saul saw why persecutors thou me why would god say moses moses art why would he repeat himself to you isn't god loud enough for you to hear him the first time i mean isn't his voice proficient enough to be effective initially as opposed to eventually of course it is we're talking about the god who said let there be and there was if he can call a world into existence shouldn't he be able to call a person to attention you didn't hear him say let there be light light said not yet god i said let there be light light said not yet god says if i have to say let there be light again and then there's light see only humans have trouble listening everything else god created let's be honest got his command initially we who were born into sin shaping iniquity we tend to hear god eventually this text was written by in my estimation and in my opinion the greatest preacher of the new testament this is this is paul now if you don't know paul if you just met him in acts if you just met him in the book of corinthians if if you just met him in ephesians if you just met him in philippians then i can understand that you cannot have a full respect for the gravity of how paul and his life and his journey is applicable to your situation because you met paul when he was blind on the road to damascus and perhaps you met paul when he was surviving shipwrecks and perhaps you met paul when he was digging his hand into firewood and was bitten by a snake to help other people but can i tell you that paul was unperfect he was unperfect when god initially summoned paul he wasn't preaching in the synagogue in fact according to acts chapter 9 paul was on his way to murder christians and the bible says that he was breathing out threats and slaughter until he was arrested by a blinding light from god that left him without sight for three days he was on his way to do something wrong when god called him to do something right i could just stay there i could stay there because it is of the opinion of most of us that god is seeking that which has value but the truth is god is actually seeking that which has no value so that intrinsically the thing that doesn't have any value will assume that it got all of its value from the one who gave us the victory talking about jesus the christ emmanuel the one who was slain before the foundation of the world and the one who died on the cross and in the presence of his enemies he never said a mumbling word this is this is paul that we're talking about and paul acknowledges his confusion as to why god would choose him to put this level of apostolic ministry in this kind of person we're still talking about a strategy for the unperfect how does this kind of glory live in the spirit of a man that has this kind of story why would god put this immense valuable gift of preaching the gospel in a man who was looking to kill his children when he found them paul said i'm confused that's what he meant he says i am i'm perplexed i'm perplexed how could how could such a treasure be placed in this kind of vessel have you ever asked yourself that and and if you're humble enough you have to have you ever asked yourself why is god this good to me yeah this is for somebody right now have you ever actually said what after knowing because you know you i know me after all the things you've done after every place you've been after all the things you said have you ever asked yourself why does god keep on blessing me why would god give a job to somebody like me like why would god give this kind of opportunity to somebody like why would god bless somebody like me because he puts these treasures help me holy ghost can we walk this thing out he puts this treasure in an earthen vessel why would god call a man to cure the very thing he was trying to kill could couldn't he have picked somebody better you mean to tell me it wasn't some good righteous saint that god could have used to write half of the new testament god you mean to tell me you had to step out of the faith to bring somebody into it you better be glad that's god's strategy you better be glad that god is not looking for the in-crowd you better be glad that god is not looking for people who are without fault you better be glad that god still uses people who have bad motives and he can still turn you into a miracle paul says i cannot understand why this level of apostolic ministry has been placed in my soul and how can god put this kind of glory in a man that has this kind of story and what i love about paul is that he does not hide his imperfections paul puts it out there paul says of all sinners can i make an announcement i am the chief so i i think that the church could be more useful if the people in it would act like they still need god i i think that that our message could be more palatable to a generation that is increasingly skeptical of our message if they find out we too once were lost but now we're found that that that before you were a preacher you had a temper and before you were a deacon you had an addiction and before you were a missionary you had a problem and and can i get at least a thousand saints out there that'll just testify to somebody and let them know you see me now but you don't know what i had to go through hallelujah to get here is there anybody could just could just get online right now and type a message to somebody in the chat or on the wall or wherever you're watching us if if you can or get on your instagram and post a clip of this later on and just let everybody know that this is my testimony that i am glad that god has a strategy for the unperfect and i am glad that he puts the treasure in earth and vessels because if he did not use earth and vessels then i would not have an opportunity anybody other than me glad about the fact that you don't have to be expensive to hold his glory he puts he puts the treasure in earth and vessels and paul begins this discussion he says earth and vessels repeat this after me say earthen vessels come on say it again say earth and vessels yeah i know that's a church word i know that's that's not in our normal vernacular i know that's not something that we say in ordinary conversation but he's basically saying clay jars cheap material earthen vessels okay what's an earthen vessel a glass is an earthen vessel because all the glass is is sand melted a coffee mug it's an earthen vessel because all it is it's watch this it is clay that has been heated that's all it is it's an it's an earthen vessel this this yeti cup uh they may charge you 30 for it but all it is is aluminum that has been pressed in a die and shaped put some insulation around it and then another covering on top of it it is nothing more than a few cents to make there's always a markup on the vessel that there's always a markup on the vessel why because of the time it takes to make it it is made out of cheap material but the labor is what raises the cost and anytime somebody calls you cheap you may say this to them i am cheap on my own but because of the labor that jesus christ put in me to shape me into the vessel that i am today i'm expensive because of the cross help me holy ghost i'm expensive because of the cross there is in me that dwells no good thing so you can look at me you can judge me and you can say i'm nothing but when they finish saying that about you let them know that there is something that increases my value it is called the labor aka the blood of jesus and it reaches to the highest mountain don't you make me act like i'm in church and it flows to the lowest and then this is what grandmama said she says that blood because she had to make sure that this testimony was attached to what she just described not this blood not that blood gives me strength from day to day and that blood shall never ever lose its power paul says i don't know how this ended up in me i don't know how it ended up in me i didn't i don't deserve it but i can tell you something he says in chapter five watch what he says he says we have this building eternal in the heavens not made by hand he say he says don't you don't get it twisted i start out in an earthen vessel but by the time this thing is over i'll be in another building not made by hand so so so really what what they're criticizing and really what they're ostracizing and and and listen to me really what they're lying on are you listening to me because i'm getting ready to help you stop defending rental space you're not going to be here long this is not where you're staying you got another building not made by hand if they lying on you they're lying on rent space if they're talking about you they're talking about rent space if they're trying to get you fired they're going to get rent space fired but after this old earthly tabernacle shelters off we got another building not made by hand that's the strategy for the unperfect that no matter what cancer does to this body cancer doesn't kill my spirit no matter what a heart attack does to this body no matter what a stroke does of this body no matter what cove it does to this old earthly tabernacle god's got another strategy for the unperfect we don't die we go from glory to glory and those of us who die in him we shall live we shall live again [Music] but we have this treasure in earth investments you mean to tell me that i can get something expensive out of something so cheap you mean to tell me that it's not about the vessel vessel looks shiny [Music] be not deceived god is not mocked yeah you know the rest whatever man sows that shall they also reap i am a giver by nature i can't tell you how many things i've given away i've given away money i've given away clothes i've given away time but there's an old thing my grandmother taught me she says you can't beat god-given no matter how hard you try and the more you give to him the more he gives to you here's the truth everything i've ever released as a result of the tugging of my heart of the holy spirit god has always replaced it i've never given the dollar that god didn't double i've never given time that god hasn't replaced i've never had a conversation with somebody without god sending somebody to have a conversation with me that was useful for the next level of my life that is what sowing and reaping is all about as we get ready to give today i want you to dig deep down in your soul and do this i don't know if you often do this i want you to try to say god what do you want me to give today now the reason why i say that is because if you listen to god then what he says to me won't be what he says to you is i believe that it is not about equal giving it's about equal sacrifice we accept your ability to ask god what he wants you to do every little bit that you do helps and it keeps us in line with our vision and it gives us the ability to make sure that we're helping people who are less fortunate who cannot help themselves you would not believe how many people need our help and we cannot help them unless we as a community of believers are faithful so be faithful over your few things and watch god turn it into much i'm going to pitch you back to the second half of self-defense may god bless you and y'all i can't wait till we get back together [Music] self-defense everybody say self-defense i'ma get there he says he says we have this this treasure in inferior vessels we have this treasure in fragile vessels we we have we have this treasure in inexpensive vessels we we have this treasure in expendable vessels i'm going to help you because it helped me listen it ain't deep but it's true come here paul has just given you permission to be human because if you listen to people now you got to be perfect if you listen it's i i see it all the time in politics you you have a person who will come out and say uh i'm running for this i'm running for that and then here all the haters digging up everything they ever did wrong and and putting it out on front street because we expect people to be perfect when they come out and see i've learned this about us we are afraid to exercise our gifts and we're afraid to go after our dreams and we're afraid to become what god has called us to be because we know that there's a cause when we come out and say this is what god wants me to be but let me tell you something don't you allow any amount of fragileness to keep you behind the curtain and in the closet about what god has created you would be you are a beast you have a vision you have a calling there is a company in you you are supposed to be a politician you are supposed to be a lawyer you're supposed to be a doctor and i don't care how bad your grades were go back to school and redo it why because he puts the treasure in earth and vessels i don't care what your gpa was in high school don't you let your gpa tell you what you're supposed to do next go back and do it again why because he puts the treasure in the earthen vessel he put facebook in the college dropout you don't have to be successful in order to succeed he he'll put the treasure in an earthen vessel oh pastor i i want to do it but when i look at other people doing that they can do this and they can do that that's fine but you have to understand that god wants to get this treasure through your vessel and the weaker you are the more glory he will get how can you explain somebody who got a ged and no high school diploma and and had a child when they were 14 15 years old and like the one young lady who said that she had four children by the age of 19 but guess what she paid her rent for a year because it ain't how you start to know my shot it's how you finish and i'm talking to every earthen vessel that is watching me right now i want you to tell everybody in your house i want you to tell everybody who follows you on instagram facebook twitter tick tock snapchat black planet if you still got it and i want you to text them and tweet them and tell them god's got a strategy for the unperfect and that's my self-defense i'm not perfect because i'm clay i'm sorry i cussed you out but i'm clay i'm sorry i went off on you but i'm clay stop expecting something out of the vessel it ain't me it's the treasure on the inside of me and i didn't ask god for it i didn't ask him for the gift i didn't ask him for the gift but he gave it to me he gave it to me stop trying to explain yourself just tell him he gave it to him i don't know why i can think like this i don't know why i have this kind of wisdom i don't know why i dream like this i wasn't born in this kind of thing i don't know why i'm a millionaire i don't know why i'm rich my mother was poor i don't know why but i can tell you i know how he put the treasure in the earthen vessel that's your defense lift up your head oh ye gates and recognize it's because your earthen vessel that he picked you um if i make a bottle out of gold and i put wine in the bottle even though the wine is expensive and so is the container the gold in the bottle would bleed into the wine thereby destroying the wine now i asked myself god is a king he's the king of kings why wouldn't he put his contents in expensive vessels john 2 pastor heaven says that when he went to the custom of the feast and he put wine he didn't put wine in chalices he didn't say bring me the chalice he didn't say bring me the silver bowl he said bring me the earthen vessels bring me the water pots why why why would god put something so expensive in something so cheap let me tell you why the reason why god puts expensive things in cheap vessels is he never wants competition between the contents and the container he wants to make sure that the contents always outweigh the container so the worse you are the more he can use you the broken the more broken you are the more glory he can get out of you the more frustrated you are the more visions he can give you the more afraid you are the further he can take you you got to understand he's looking for broken vessels because the potter wants to put you back together again stop pretending like you got it all together stop walking around here acting like every day is a great day stop pretending like people don't get on your nerve stop acting like you don't want to cuss folk out tell them where to go how to get there and give them a receipt so they can get another ticket to find out how to get to the next place stop acting like you ain't got a little thug left in you stop acting like you ain't got a little street in yourself stop walking around because it's in ui because you are an earthen vessel he's looking for somebody who needs his help he's looking for somebody who would throw themself on the mercy of the court he's looking for somebody who prays when they don't know what to do he's looking for somebody who's so afraid to succeed that they will ask him to cover them in his precious blood he's looking for somebody who doesn't know where to go and who won't take a step us out saying father i stretch my hand to thee no other help i know if you would draw yourself from me i don't know where to go that's your self-defense your self-defense because everybody's expecting you to be perfect i can hear him talking to you now you supposed to be a christian you supposed to be a christian and why are you afraid of covet 19 you supposed to be the church they got all kind of commentary on what we're supposed to be but your self-defense is yes i am saved but i'm still clay i have a relationship with god but o wretched man that i am i was born in the sin and i was shaping in iniquity and and for all of the perfect saints who think that there is no room for people who are not mistaken this message isn't for you i'm trying to get people unstuck and to give you a real perception of your god and your god ain't like your enemies your god is not like your haters your god is not like your boss your god is not like your hateful cousin your god is not like your miserable ex your god is different your god is bigger he's stronger he's wiser and he loves you just the way you are that's the strategy for the for the unperfect that's your self-defense yeah i said something i didn't mean to say but i'm clay yeah i i made a mistake i i had three children out of wedlock but but but i'm clay and and don't let the people in the church make you think that because you didn't live your life according to some some strict law that god never instituted that you are rendered useless for the work of god he's looking for earthen vessels he's looking for clay jars for the excellency of god for the accent oh can y'all bring that passage back up on the screen so they can see it because i just i just got a revelation he says he says listen i want you to see this he says but we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power of god notice that the excellency is not on the vessel it's on the power the excellency is on the power not the vessel not that the vessel would be excellent but the power in the vessel lord help me that the power in the vessel might be excellent because as long as the power is excellent god can work on the vessel he is the potter i am the clay and he's he's molding me and and let me tell you something you won't meet everybody's expectations and you will let people down and you won't always get it right but i'm here to tell you that you are the clay and it is not about the vessel it is about the treasure and because you are not worthy does not mean that god can't use you none of us are worthy for the potter to put his hands on me i i listen i can stay here all day long i can stay here all day long because because i feel like the devil's trying to take the church from us and and we've got all of these rules and legalistic opinions and we got all kind of people and this and now we're not able to come together and now the enemy is using the internet to get god's message and to dilute it and now we've got all of these pharisees reassurging themselves and you can see people in the comments and saying all kinds of things but let me tell you our god is the same and he changes not he is the same yesterday today and forevermore and his grace is sufficient his grace is sufficient and it's made perfect in your not perfection in your weakness perhaps this is the first time anybody has ever told you you have permission to be weak perhaps this is the first time you've ever heard in your life it's okay if you don't always get it right perhaps god is using my voice to pierce through decades of negative conversations you've had with family members and friends to let you know that no matter what you did or did not do you're still in his hands that it's okay that you started a company and it didn't succeed that doesn't make you a failure just means you may have tried the wrong venture they repossessed my car they evicted me out of my house i'm a failure no to fail it's to begin again with increased intelligence that's my definition of failure it is the opportunity to begin again with increased intelligence i uh i didn't want to use this box they didn't give me an endorsement check but i'm gonna have to use it this box so very cheap so very cheap they didn't even take the time to glue down the tag if i had to guess this box may be worth five cents they make it in bulk so it may be less than that but we have this treasure in earth and vessels you mean to tell me that i can get something expensive out of something so cheap you mean to tell me that it's not about the vessel vessel looks shiny the vessel is loud and has a brand the vessel is doing all the talking but the treasure will do all the walking the vessel is saying look at me but it's so easy to dismantle it's so fragile because it's never about the vessel it's about the treasure and greater is he that is in me in me than he that's in the world did you know that this old earthly tabernacle this is rent space you have perhaps put too much investment in a temporary facility i don't know if you've ever built out a business but when you go to a rent space or even apartment nobody goes into an apartment pays a thousand dollars a month and then goes and changes every light in every room and put a chandelier in the bedroom and put a chandelier in the living room and puts permanent fixtures on the wall and rips up the carpet and puts plush carpet down and takes out the tub and put in a jacuzzi well that's what you do to a house where you're going to stay but when you're in rental space you suffer with the accommodations because you know that you won't be there alone the psalmist says i was shaping an iniquity and in my mother's womb i was born in the sin john 8 says if we say that we have not sinned we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in you that's when your mama you remember your mama used to say when you told a story cause when i was growing up you couldn't say lie you had to say telling the story and and that's you but but grown people could say lie and you remember your mom you say you are lying the truth ain't in you that she was really quoting this scripture she was really quoting john 8 24 when it says it says that that if you say you have not sinned we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us can i tell you something the devil wants to destroy you with an illegitimate perception of what you are the devil wants to destroy you by making you believe that you can achieve a set of values that are off limits to humanity and the expectation that god has over you if god had given humans the ability to remain perfect after the fall of adam and eve he would have not instituted a defense plan to redeem that which was lost every person since adam was born in the sin and shaping help me holy ghost i hope i'm delivering somebody shaping an iniquity the devil wants to destroy you what makes you valuable it's not what you have on stop defining yourself by what you wear you ever seen people that walk a certain way and have a certain kind of attitude because they wear a certain brand and then you turn the tv on and you see a billionaire and starch jeans and a white t-shirt you know what they found out they'd rather have treasure and not vessel see those of us who struggle financially we keep buying vessels cars that's a vessel houses clothes we keep buying stuff to put on us instead of investing in the thing in us you have a treasure you have a vision you have a destiny and if you're going to spend anything you have spend it on the development of your future we have this treasure in earthen vessels i wanted to tell you this today i feel the holy spirit's saying minister i'm done he says tell my people to shift their perspective from the container to the contents you remember when they used to say in church i'd rather have jesus than silver and gold what they were saying is this thing in me it's a lot better than these things on me you are not defined by what you have nor are you defined by what you don't have just because somebody lives in the mansion it doesn't make them better than you because you live in a one bedroom apartment they can drive a bentley you can be catching the bus that's not what the value is they can have a diamond on every finger and you can be 50 years old and never owned a diamond in your life that is not how you are defined they can have furniture in every room and you can be sitting and sleeping on the floor but as long as you have that thing in you that treasure in your earthen vessel god told me to tell you that your day of redemption and reckoning is coming i give you the peace and reassurance of knowing that you have a self-defense for every time you failed if every time you didn't reach the mark for every time you fell short i know you tried i know people don't always give you the credit but i just want you to remind yourself i know why i didn't get it right all the time it's because i'm clay it's because i'm clay and i told you this was the backdrop to last week's message but here's what the bible says follow me cameraman he says he was on the wheel i can imagine i can imagine george there had to be a trash can at the potter's house i mean it would be irresponsible to have a wheel and clay and water and no trash i can imagine they had to be trash there a trash can but when given the option with an imperfect thing in his hand to either throw it away he didn't choose to throw it away the bible says he chose to throw it down and then he crushed it and then he picked it up and he began anew you're getting ready to walk into your new season you're getting ready to walk into your but if it had not been for god's season getting ready to experience a resurgence of the glory of god on your life in a pandemic in political unrest in distrust and confusion resist the desire to argue and just understand that in the end the will of god will be done if you're watching today i would like to arrest your attention for 30 seconds and i want you to know that god has put a self-defense plan in place for you there is a reason why you don't always get it right your clay but according to john chapter 2 he told them to bring him the water
