Self-Righteous

good afternoon folks good morning good evening to folks all over the world youtube facebook twitter all of my uh followers a pleasant good day to you that should cover it a pleasant good day again with another surprise impromptu teaching so i'm just gonna wait for a few minutes for folks to climb on in before we jump into this uh i hate to say this but i'm gonna say it because it sound good into this uh brief teaching on self-righteousness self-righteousness exactly that's exactly we're going to talk about today self-righteousness is something that uh i think it's very very timely in fact it's a prelude uh to my teaching that i'm going to do next week uh and the title of that is i'm trying to remember it now i remember by trying to word it properly the title of that particular teaching is righteous is as the result of righteousness yeah that's what it is righteous is as the result of righteousness okay so this here is a precursor to that teaching i'm gonna do that next week maybe beginning on wednesday of next week i'm going to do a three part to it and we're really going to dig into it in terms of righteousness and that's what i want to talk about today because there's so many self-righteous people out there so tons of them tons i mean and and unfortunately i'm not even talking about sinners i'm talking about them though sorry who named the name of jesus christ who claims that they are safe but them being saved for blood washed like they would say or or sanctified is strictly based on their their their level of righteousness not so much following the the prescribed way by the scriptures it's because of certain things and i think this was very timely to bring up because a lot of people are on their way to hell okay because they believe by the things that they have determined to be righteous is in fact righteousness so i want to say again good morning to everybody good afternoon wherever you are in your country good night some of you probably were crawling into bed when you would have gotten this notification and uh and i like these surprise teachings i love it i i don't want no kind of a warning just just just out of option whatever else can come on you just jump right on you okay and you need to be prepared all right we have 329 i'm going to wait till we get to 500 which should be in the next few seconds and uh and then we're gonna go i'm just you know it's so amazing because no matter what time of the day or night i decide to do a teaching i mean people are always alert and waiting and what that says to me is that obviously what i'm saying is making sense you know aside from that what i what i realized and this is why i do it so much in my teachings people want the bible they don't necessarily want a particular personality i mean it's nice whatever the personality is once they're bringing the bible and that's what people want because now they can decipher for themselves what is of god and what is not and that is one of the major uh compliments that i get i like that you are so bible based i like that you don't share your opinions you just give the scriptures you back it up with scriptures you constantly promote scriptures you pray the scriptures you discuss the scriptures scripture scripture scripture and that's how it should be you don't go to a mechanic store and all he's talking about is carpentry right so that's how it should be as it relates to let me make sure i'm on facebook yeah that's how it should be as it relates to the word of god scripture scripture scripture see because when you do that and that's one of the reasons why i do it there's not going to be no confusion no because you know some people would say well i hear one pastor say it's okay to do this but another pastor said that it's not right to do it i'm so confused no you're confused because you don't read the bible you're confused because no one is teaching you scripture when a person makes a claim that is of god then there should be not a twisted scripture one where we've been organ taught or inclined to our point but one that is very clear and when that scripture is clear there has to be other scriptures that can support that particular scripture all right so for example i've had uh people write me and say hey uh you're wearing a chain on your neck no that's not that's evil you shouldn't do that or you know stupid stuff because why they're self-righteous righteousness to them is how they perform for people on the outside but when they get home they cuss around don't sleep with their husbands and penny spiteful and always being petty to bend people to what they want but when they hit that church or go outside they're holding down all right and the bible is going to speak clearly of this as i'm about to get uh as i'm about to get into this okay so we are at 4 46 almost there we're going to get into it we really really really really want you to tag someone tag yourself righteous whole leader now friends and they need to hear this because they need to get safe they are not safe okay they are not safe and they need to know jesus all right they think they know him because they have been handed a baton of tradition that once you perform a certain way once you give your tithe once you and the pastors are okay and you go to church every sunday and every conclave and every time they tell you the soul once you do that you are righteous no matter what kevin or what everybody else say or the scriptures forget that so self-righteousness has everything to do with a person's standard but not the benchmark or the only standard which is the standard of god god's righteousness let me just squeeze this in there god's righteousness is exact is exactly what the bible says his way of doing things exactly what that bible tells you to do is god's standard that's righteousness so none of us could attain that outside of accepting jesus christ you have to accept jesus christ and you are automatically made righteous now you must mortify the deeds of your flesh meaning that your flesh needs to now conform to the god standard but you cannot say i accept jesus christ but i'm going to use my standard of living you see what i'm saying to you so so so this is how we we bring up bring clarity to these things okay we got 499 500 there we go so we have 500 500 again ladies and gentlemen it's a pleasure to see you guys coming on board to hear the unadulterated authentic word of god where there's no gimmicks no theatrics no begging you for money you don't have to be afraid to listen to the end of this program because i'm not going to hustle you for no seed i'm not going to tell you so into this word i'm not going to tell you if you tap into my anointing or i could franchise this anointing those things are strictly of the devil we don't practice devil works here on this particular ministry at this particular ministry we go by the righteousness of god the god way of doing things okay now self righteousness now this is interesting self righteousness is a is is righteousness again where a person believes that they are more they are holier than somebody else or they're better positioned from a god perspective they're in a better position than you are and for the most part when they make those assessments 99.9 of the time it has to do with things external it has to do with cosmetic surfaces surface stuff so as far as they're concerned because they go to bible study every wednesday they're not learning anything they're just following the routine that this is what you do and i need everybody to know that i go to church on wednesday you don't go or you don't go church at all so in their head they are more righteous than you are i heard a christian i witnessed this with my own eyes and ears i heard a christian lady very well seasoned lady in her 60s she made the comment one time that she's more saved than another person and one of the the reasons why she said that i mean based on the context of what she was saying was that there was a discussion and this person gave their view so she said she was safe before this person she accepted jesus christ yes before this person even came into the revelation of jesus christ hence that was a part of her being more safe i guess she had more mileage more time with christ and that equates to more points i don't know brownie points than the person who just got saved two three years ago so i tried processing that and of course it was utter dungeon nonsense but of course you can't tell them that because they come from backgrounds like that where we've been here longer than you we're more saved than you and uh we wear holy clothes on holy sunday the full white attire white everything and we're holy and as you can see every sunday we lift up holy hands now they don't have to know as far as the self-righteous person is concerned they don't have to be holy internally we're not looking at that forget that once i look holy on the outside i don't curse i don't use the f word and the s words but let me let me let me tweak that i don't use them in front of you i use them because this is what they're basically saying now when i get home and my husband and kids make me mad well i use that f word as adjective and pronoun and and and predicate and subject and all of that but when i'm in front of you guys i have to continue with this masquerade that i am holier so you wouldn't hear a dirty word leave my lips unless you catch me off on a date when i don't remem i didn't remember my mass i didn't remember my masquerade outfit i just could pop a few on it i could do a quick franklin on you very fast okay so as you can see life becomes far more difficult for them because they're living according to the scriptures a form of godliness so they're not living for god they're taking things from how god operates and adorning themselves they're embellishing themselves to look bigger than who they really are okay i hope you're following me here so there's a lot of people are like that unfortunately they can't really arc on for so long that they now truly believe that disqualify them for heaven so they could be doing wrong and they don't even remember to repent or even care to repent anymore because as far as they're concerned their act towards the or people observing them is that uh brother kevin is so holy the guy barely walks on the ground i mean he's always wearing his white gloves and whenever he speaks he speaks with such eloquence in the queen's english i wonder if he even sins you sure there weren't two jesus christ kevin being one of them so so you see so you see they have taken their standard and their standard is a phony one because they're hypocrites in that they what they're portraying to you they live the opposite with those who know them such as their children and spouses and family members they know of their bad ways their spitefulness their vindictiveness and all of this other nonsense they know this but again when they get on that pulpit they got you know we need to to live righteous one of the signs one of the signs of deciphering these fraud thinks and phonies is that they always have to validate themselves to people child i've been a christian for at least 40 plus years i was in ministry you know and and while you young people were still in pampers i was winning the laws they got their riddles now willing the loss at any cost come on speak help me not talk to me okay so again you'll get the scriptures from them you're not hearing but winning souls it's all about what they did and and how they they spoke at this particular convention and assembly and they were called known as the head usher uh uh in charge and and so on and so forth uh speaking of that this might have nothing to do with it but this is so funny this is so funny you know everyone is just fighting for these titles right like apostle uh chief apostle super apostle boss prophet master prophet and but how come i don't understand how come people don't like like fight for like like chief usher no not us that's unfair why they don't see like chief usher like like boss i'm the boss usher try that i'm the boss i shall i am apostolic usher no and that just goes to show you where their title is so foolish because when i say foolish they believe their title make them whom god has called them to be and to to show you that it's all about the title of them then why don't you humble yourself and say you know what i don't don't call me like just call me a servant of god call me i just want to be the usher that's it no those who like title even when they're ashes i god spoke to me in a dream and and i heard like these symbols in the cloud and all i heard was super duper usher so i feel that god has put a special anointing on me and i want the church to address me not because i want to i'm humbled i want the church to honor god and i'm going to be super duper usher from this day forward and and before you come to me make an appointment and uh let me know what your needs are gonna be and uh i will see how god will use me to superly usher you into whatever it is that you need okay so no no anybody can fight for that they're not going to fight for that so i want us to to to jump right into it let's go straight to the scriptures let's go to proverbs 30 proverbs 30 i love this proverbs 30. i'm going to change my name because you know the word minister means serve right if you're a minister whatever i mean you are a server that's what i mean that isn't to say you have some grant so i'm i'm kevin your servant all right so i'm not i'm not you'll never hear master minister no that don't sound right you would not hear super chief chief minister you're not going to hear that no what you're going to hear is apostolic cheerios spaghetti meatballs all right so that's proverbs here we go proverbs chapter 30. uh-huh and then we're going to look at verse 12. okay because the bible speaks candidly about this god knew god knows god knows everything and he knows that a lot of people they would allow the enemy to inflate them they would say that they've accepted christ but want nothing to do with christ they accepted christ as the the the headliner but they're going to do it their way so in proverbs chapter 30 verse 12 he says there is a generation this is key there is a generation that are pure watch this in their own eyes there is a generation that are pure in their own eyes and yet is not washed from their filthiness let that marinate just a little bit they are christians they are so-called believers of jesus christ self-righteous that's their labeling they're self-righteous they believe all right listen to this there's a generation that are pure and in their eyes see they go by their standard they're they're eloquent in their speech and of a particular uh denomination like that they train their members to speak properly when they're on that pulpit yeah and it's all about showing how intelligent we are with the diversification of the word that's what they say word and persons person presence so when that particular uh son or daughter would have continued with their speech on the pulpit this is how they're gonna be on it they'll say you did a great your speech was excellent i loved your grammar you never i could see the anointing on your life god is going to use you clearly you are studying the word of god no it was all about crossing my t's and dotting my eyes so this is who the scripture is talking about those who see the the stage of god as one where they perform to impress others to look at them as the great one but we're never gonna talk about this jesus and god and holy ghost people man they're getting in our way it's about this is our time so we're gonna use the proper english the proper uh sound and verb the proper uh uh what's the word now synonyms and the antonyms and all these other things you know we're just using scripture because you came to hear about this jesus but really it's gonna be pointed at us so the scripture says in proverbs 30 verse 12 very clear there is a generation that are pure in their own eyes when we get that today and this thing is spreading like a cancer everybody is and guess what every one of them crawls into to church and hide behind god so he starts off by saying that we love god we love god i accepted jesus christ i accept jesus christ okay now this church don't seem to be preaching too much about jesus and they seem to be compromising a lot so i'm going to give it some time and then i'm going to come out and i'm going to say i am a i'm a homosexual christian okay then another part is going to come and say well i'm a practicing fornicator but i'm practicing fornicating christian now how the narrative is being presented in today's world but everybody coming under the banner of christianity now but they're just diversifying it now because the reason why is because the churches most of them have no standard now because they're more into numbers and monies and see it so what we want is more people here and don't judge those people don't you judge those people nine you're not judging them the scriptures are you don't write the bible but the narrative now that is displayed to protect people who want to continue in what god is against but then put the icing on it that this is god we're going to say we are believers of jesus christ see we are righteous in our own eyes like the bible is saying yeah there is a generation that are pure they are pure or also righteous in their own eyes and now what we're going to do is create our own doctrine all right remember the video that i sent you guys saturday with the gay pastor in california he was confronted by a talk show house and he said he asked me to say so you're a great pastor you're practicing homeless he said yes i am and he said does your congregants notice of course in fact for my counter against i gave the other half are heterosexual so the interviewer said you see anything wrong with this he said no god loves all of us what you see you see you see the change right you're talking about homosexuality now watch the narrative being changed this isn't transgender anything people don't want to release us sin they want to keep it the the argument now and this is in everything as it comes to the things of god is you you you switch immediately so we're talking about homosexuality be talking about fornication we're talking about stealing and lying in adultery this is what we're talking about so when they're convicted and they see where you're going they're switching it now don't judge me god is love god loves all of us we all want and christ we're not talking about those things though no you're not talking about it but i'm not going to debate what i know the bible says correct so what i'm going to do is take you on a different journey see i notice because i face it all the time i face it all the time and they hate me you know why because when i let them speak and then i come right back to my point again now clearly they didn't train you well because i am not leaving my point okay and my point is this is what the bible says i'm reading it this isn't what i said how do you explain that so this guy said the pastor he said the holy spirit spoke to him because the interviewer the interviewer showed him some scriptures in the old testament and even in the new testament where god is against this type of act same sex acts he said the holy spirit said to him that during the times when those things were written men who were angry or whatever the case may be put that in the bible but it was not from the holy spirit okay all right right so you see what you do now right so whenever you come up on a on a scripture that is convicting you of your sin then you must say this is how it works you must say the holy spirit said to you i see fornication here i see fornication but the holy spirit says as long as i'm not hurting anyone i can fornicate with this lady okay and as long as she don't know the whole light is to don't hurt her i could go have sex with somebody else and fornicate with them and as long as she doesn't know i could go on and on and on because the idea is we don't want to hurt each other so the scripture let's go back to the scripture again because this is what this is all based on proverbs 30 verse 12 there is a generation that are pure in their own eyes they have convinced themselves that this is right but i don't fully blame them and this is the point i'm trying to get to i don't fully blame them i don't fully blame them because it is going to go right back to what i consistently reiterate to you if there are people god's representatives on pulpits through the length and breadth of this world preaching their version of the bible preaching their beliefs preaching how they feel their opinion their doctrines their ideology can you imagine you come into a a calculus class for the first time you don't know jack but calculus but you came here to learn then you only can go on what they say because you have no pre-knowledge to to to refute if it is wrong so these people who truly want to know of god and have a relationship with him because they don't want to live in certain whatever lifestyles they're coming to this place that has church on it so i'm expecting at minimum we're going to be taught from the bible but when we get in here we realize that this guy is compromising more than us when we were once in the world so you see what i'm saying to you whoever you're under you better be in short you better make sure that they're preaching the gospel because if you stay long enough and entertain it you're going to automatically become an idolatrous kevin how is that going to happen because what's going to happen is they're going to preach and teach their opinion in their doctrine and because you're so caught up with them you like the person that means someone like me or anybody else say hey but this is what the bible says here read it and i'm going to give you some more scriptures only to support what i originally showed you so again they're trained to change the narrative never to address the situation why are you coming against my pastor why are you always preaching against pastors what is your problem you did they do you something were you do you have church hurt so all of this have nothing to do with originally talking about but this is how they are trained subliminally to protect their idol protect the pastor protect this church protect protect this particular apostolic name protect these things but don't ever protect the word of god and you're righteous once you commit to this church and do what we tell you to do with our policies you are righteous you have met the standard of god scripture that's this this is how they do it so the bible says in proverbs 30 verse 12 there is a generation that are pure in their own eyes they go to them it is always right and yet it's not washed from their filthiness these are the ones that say they're safe they've been they're more saved than the other person they have more mileage and chris than dumb than you who just came on yesterday so he says to them they are pure in their own eyes but they were never washed of the filth they never the sin when they the bible says you should mortify the deeds of your flesh they never did that they kept that but at the same time trying to keep on to the fact that hey look i'm a jesus christ so they they they they trump and taught hey i am a christian i am a believer and i've been saved since 1975. i am washed in the blood i am saved sanctified filled with the holy spirit god pulled me out of the miry clay put me in a rock to stay blessed is the name of the lord hallelujah blah blah blah but watch this watch this i want to show you something the practice right watch what the bible says now remember this there is a generation that are pure in their own eyes only their eyes self-righteous people and yet it's not washed from their filthiness right now let's quickly go over here to isaiah 64. isaiah 64. and uh let's look at verse 6. isaiah 64 6 right it says but we but we are all as unclean sorry but we are all as an unclean thing and all our righteousness are as filthy rights now let's be clear here when the bible speaks of our righteousness he isn't saying a certain level of righteousness that we do in terms of god is concerned no he's talking about our standard of righteousness god righteousness is exactly what this bible says do not steal do not fornicate love your neighbor do not curse them bless them pray for those who despitefully use you while praying forgive others so that your heavenly father will forgive you if your neighbor asks you of something don't tell him go and come back tomorrow all of these rules laws principles protocols uh the righteousness of god meaning the god way of how we should perform in the world as believers of jesus christ this is the standard this is the manual this is the uh constitution that we ought to live by right now he's saying now your righteousness which i have nothing to do with his laws your righteousness and that is you don't curse uh you have never cheated on your husband you are the husband of one wife you are the wife of one husband you know no other man you know no other woman you've never had intercourse on anybody outside of the person that you've married to from day one as far as you're concerned you are righteous so god say that right there what you claim to be so whatever that is as filthy rights it could never compare with his righteousness which is what he says to do okay you may not have ever cheated on your spouse you may not have ever experienced a divorce but guess what you have malice hate unforgiveness pride so if you ask me you might as well i cheated on your partner because as you can see here you're no saint hence god says your righteousness at maximum are as filthy rights to him you follow me i just won't be clear taking my time you know taking my time because i don't want to rush this so people like to see that child like liquor has never touched these lips i don't know how people they can't even talk no more see their righteousness is always about how they view it for example uh jesus out of face he he made a batch of the best wine so what is the self-righteousness that wine did not have alcohol in it i was there in the spirit and i had my testing equipment and it was not fermented why really paul said that he supports her mind for the stomach sickness paul wasn't talking about alcohol what he meant was a kool-aid and in the hebrew they're gonna lie now in the hebrew and the greek wine uh means kuku was in uh a temple called somebody and bring the lads there and it's kool-aid that's what he meant he meant kool-aid see because they're always trying to justify the way they see righteousness based on their standard and as far as they're concerned jesus will not drink wine because it's of the devil and there's no way in the bible that it says that what i did read in the bible about wine it says that you must not drink to become drunk it says you must be moderate in your drinking now the only way i read where a believer should not drink wine is when god was giving his protocols for the structure of leadership in the church in the earth and he says a bishop read it see now that's what i'm telling you if you don't read your bible it will sound so right to you i don't drink wine so why don't drink it tell me why i drink wine i have my wife and i have when we go we have a cup of wine that's not to say you must do it if you come from a generation of alcoholics and there's a person you shouldn't be doing it but no one is going to tell me something that the bible didn't say as it relates to me or anybody else but i would not encourage someone to say go do you drink wine and drink look at what you want to do no no i'm not going to never tell you that i'm going to tell you what the bible says that's what i'm going to say to you so what i'm saying to you what i'm trying to teach you here is that stop stop trying to live christianity from a aesthetic or cosmetic or surface level why because god is looking at the heart that's what he's looking at he's looking at your heart what does your heart say you can imagine if they see minister kevin and his wife deidre and we having dinner and i have a red a cast a glass with a red one gotta take some snaps and put it on facebook and that's what i told you all i know he was never of god my god how could he put that red devil juice on his lips and listen their life so tied up why because that is just a clear example they're living not for jesus they're living for the public they're living for how people view them buddy i don't need no wine my character speaks for me my gift speaks for me what i do on a consistent basis speak for me so therefore i don't have to live a double triple and multi lives i live my life as kevin who follow the laws the rules of god not what someone imposed on me can i hear that nonsense so that's why until i leave i told you no i leave that i leave that nonsense in the back there because people are so self-righteous he couldn't pray for me no because i saw him in 1995 having a glass of wine jesus would not do that you're right he wasn't selfish he made a whole batch he made a whole batch in fact what was the voice miracle that jesus did what was the voice miracle jesus hooked him up with somebody now again i know y'all can try to take this all over the place i'm not telling you to go there and get drunk i tell you what the bible say because you're self-righteous you you admit that sorry you omit that out of your understanding on you run a black marker in your bible but it is what it is it is what it is they they drank wine okay so it is what it is right so the scripture says here in isaiah 64 that our righteousness uh and for six uh are filthy rights to god now this is important people because i'm telling you a lot of people are going to be disappointed on the day of judgment kevin why because they became so affixed and hurt wink that what they do on the outside is more important than what goes on the inside and that's why the bible says so much it isn't what goes into a man that defiles him it what comes out of him because out of the abundance of his heart his mother is going to speak so he could be putting on the outside he is so righteous he's so holy he don't drink wine he's the husband of one wife and he's almost perfect in his being but the minute you get him on the wrong day he has no problem doing a quick franklin on you with such passion so god says that's what i was looking at right there he doesn't say like franklin is a bad person is just showing you you need deliverance my friend that doesn't make you less of a christian that don't make you not being a christian but it's showing you that all of this out for the parents you put no let it line up with what's going on with your heart because if not you're hypocrite because your your your heart is speaking on you through your mouth out of the abundance of the heart but your actions is telling me something different your actions is all holy than dao but the day i peel you off you have no problem let me have the right act in an obscene way but again let me be clear here we're not judging you i'm not saying that you're evil many people flew off the handle and do different things some got violent some begot obscenely verbal all it means is that you need deliverance what you don't want to believe is that because you're a christian you don't need deliverance which is absolute nonsense because there's a scripture just for the believer as it relates to deliverance prophecy 11 verse 9 be through knowledge shall be so the sinner be delivered i don't read that through knowledge shall the just which is synonymous with the righteous and the upright through knowledge shall you kurt franklin be delivered from cousin that doesn't make you a bad person it means you need deliverance that's all it means but the self-righteousness oh he cursed i knew he was never a man of god people do that to me all the time you know or they'll call me i riddle off those dreams for them interpret for them give them some wisdom and direction and advice and counsel them on something and the minute they cannot write reach me or they send me a few emails and i haven't responded like i'm just only reading on this they're quick to write these nasty letters or i don't understand the kind of mind of god you so there again you what they're doing is revealing to you that the the signs of self-righteousness in them as long as you could perform for them as long as you can do the tap and dance and interpret the dream and bring this with as long as you could like you or the man of god you are the best thing since sliced bread i don't know what my life would have been like without you so they sent you an email you urgently come please call me now of course you got things to do so the next email i don't know what kind of man you are you could not be filling washing the blood of jesus the right the spirit is not on you kevin god is gonna get you kevin wow the same guy who said his teaching changed your life the same to guy who said is a blessing to the body of christ so you see what i saying right if it doesn't match their righteousness i want you to listen to me carefully now don't be offended with them they're only showing you who they really are and why you should stay far away from them they're only revealing to you there's a saying that we have the nylons let a man talk long enough and he will talk on himself and this is the truth so don't get mad at them it's hurtful that you did so much and this is how they respond but trust me even if you would have called him said listen i i apologize i wasn't there i should have called you know i i submit to you then again they can switch up on you but i know that wasn't i know you don't normally behave like that i was saying you know the devil had to hide you in some way but i thank god he loose you amen glory to god i was praying for you that jesus would have turned you loose from the devil and clearly he did that praise god prayers do work glory be to jesus anyway i got 700 dreams here for you and i need you to answer them right now so no don't get don't get upset with them they're revealing to you that they are self-righteous so let's go here now to matthew 7. i'll show you something matthew chapter and we're going to read from verse 21 to verse 23 all right matthew 7 there we go we're going to read from verse 21 to verse 23 right now remember what i told you so far i told you how there is a generation who uh uh they appear on their own eyes they will never wash clean in terms of through the word jesus says that you are clean uh through my word which is the scriptures right they never did any of that all right and so therefore they have created in them and even based on the institutions that they go to religious institutions excuse me their righteousness is being under their covering righteousness is paying a tithe which is not necessary for the new testament church righteousness is sowing a seed righteousness is attending the conferences that's righteousness you have to be visible and when church doors are open that's righteousness to them that's their standard so to them if you don't meet that standard you're not righteous but unfortunately they believe they believe that by meeting those standards that are not of god then you are right with god well let's see what the scripture says matthew 7 beginning at verse 21 it says not everyone that said unto me lord lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven okay but he let's let's be clear now let's see the instructions but he that do it the will of my father which is in heaven oh so he just told me the precursor he just told me to put the qualifier he didn't say but he that do it the policy of the church he that followed the covering of the pastor he that followed the covering of the apostolic he that paid tithes or i didn't read that let's read it again matthew 7 verse 21 not everyone that said lord lord so there's some people right there put a pen right there there's some people who are saying lord hallelujah jesus they've been doing this for 30 years remember you just got saved couple years ago a couple months ago so according to them listen to this they are more saved than you they have more religious mileage than you but jesus is saying this have nothing to do with who god say a first this has nothing to do of how long you've been attending a church this has nothing to do with it he said verse 21 of matthew 7 not everyone that said unto me lord lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven okay well who will then jesus but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven and the will of your father would be what again god kind of righteousness what does this bible say not what you add to it not what you took from it not where you form your own opinion none of that none of that see these are jargons and nonsense over the years that you got it from pulpits and you went out then presented to the world a scripture you don't know any scripture all you know is riddles and rhymes and you feel safe because you're under your pastor covering you're under this i don't know what he got going on there but whatever it is somehow he's convinced you that it is more protective then jesus christ who is the head who is your covering the only covering but he that do the will of my father which is in heaven listen to verse 22 of matthew 7. um many will say to me in that day many will say who to jesus who's speaking this is speaking now many will say to me in that day lord lord have we not prophesied in thy name and in the knee and in thy name of castle devils and in thy name done many wonderful works now that's so powerful because it could also be misleading because you they have now in their righteousness because i have the gift of prophecy and i could do it accurately because god has given me the power to not the power but healing come through me to bring healing to other people because i did a lot of wondrous works these were all your gifts which according to god's word are without repentance i do not have to accept jesus christ i do not have to repent of my sins to work in the gift jesus was so much about helping people that whether or not i got saved i if i discover what my gifts are and operating them then i could move in them but this somehow became misleading to them because they equated that i am righteous because if i wasn't righteous god wouldn't let me heal if i wasn't righteous i wouldn't prophesy correctly so i could fornicate lie cheat steal do whatever i want to do because as long as these get pokulating i am righteous before god really really really let's read the scripture then verse 22 of marx matthew 7 many will say unto me in that day lord lord have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name of cast of devils and in thy name done many wonderful works listen to verse 23 of matthew 7 and then will i profess to them i this is jesus speaking never new you listen listen depart from me listen and look so now he's going to categorize them ye workers yi that work iniquity now this is heavy this is heavy this is heavy this is heavy why is this heavy kevin this is heavy because if you don't know the scripture this this here could lead you straight to hell how these people who were literally prophesying accurately because of their gift these people were doing many miracle signs and wonders because of their gift the ending part of verse 23 they are categorized as workers of inequity can someone who work iniquity heal somebody yes can somebody who's who's a dedicated soldier to iniquity prophesy what does said the lord yes what you should be asking me can someone who work iniquity and prophesy go to heaven i said you should be asking me that's what you should be asking me you say because if you have a problem with what i just said you're self-righteous because you believe and i just told you it's not because you got more political mileage you discover what your gifts are and you're flowing in them but you refuse you refuse to do the right thing and accept christ you've just been flown off the gift and that's why i say to you you get them angry with me be careful of places that you go where everything is just based on the prophetic based on dream interpretation based only on deliverance every one of them should be based on the word of god you cannot be gone to a prophetic ministry or dream or whatever and you don't hear the word of god that's idolatry you're you're you're you're idolizing the prophetic you're idolizing gifts and signs and wonders you're a junkie of it and if they're not they're not doing that they're they're only preaching the word of god that's boring you don't want to hear that you don't want to hear that so the scriptures are showing you what's going to happen to those who are self-righteous if they don't wake up or there's beauty sleep because they believe through their standard of righteousness they got the upper hand they believe that they're right with god and what is so interesting about all of this because god didn't come and walk them over that edge stop doing nonsense and get it right he don't have to do it because it's all in this word if you would go and read the word or submit yourself to people who's teaching the unadulterated accurate word of god very very very simple very very simple very simple now the question is kevin because this could be very very tricky how how can we tell one i mean i i heard what you said right but but break it down a little bit more for me how can i really know if i'm really righteous in god and i know what you're gonna say kevin you can say well uh well just do it god way and and once you do it god will you righteous and and kevin i i hear you but that kind of sound just too reduced to me make me understand what is it okay if i'm righteous kevin for god what should be my characteristics then because i see if a person who is self-righteous is all about their standard so they say you know what i'm a i'm a gay christian and don't judge me because we are all one so he's justifying his act because he's pulling some scriptures that have nothing to do with his lifestyle so kevin so explain to me if if as if i call myself a righteous person what should i be pursuing what is the evidence what is the what is it that i could that i could look at in the bible to say okay i own this truck so i got to be right with god well first of all you got to accept jesus christ as lord and savior let's start there accept jesus christ as lord and saving you making a commitment to to live according to his rules right but now we're dealing specifically with righteousness so let's go to proverbs let's go to proverbs 21 okay and let's look at 21. let's look at proverbs 21 and we're going to look at verse 21 all right what does it say he that followed after righteousness so right there put up in there righteousness isn't what he's doing to follow i'm looking at this there's a standard set somewhere and i'm following this standard see self-righteous people understand it right see when you're self-righteous you're the standard when you want to be the god kind of right you follow righteousness so watch this proverbs 21 verse 21 he that followed after righteousness and mercy what's going to happen he's going to find life righteousness and honor people are going to honor him people are going to respect him not because he's demanding it i am righteous i've been to this church for 40 years okay 40 years i was here i've watched pastors come and go and i'm righteous and every last one of you heeds up in here so you look out to me as the standard no no he that follow it he that followed there's somewhere he sees something as a standard because he he clearly in and of himself cannot meet that standard so he's looking for the benchmark he that followed after righteousness and mercy what's going to be the result what is he going to find to confirm to him that he's in right standing with god well he's going to find life righteousness and honor righteousness i mean that he's going to see the the the purity and stuff he's going to want always want to do the right thing even though it's easy to do the wrong thing but the self-righteous is justifying his wickedness justifying his evil i'm your pastor you don't tell me you don't come in here and reprimand the pastor stupid you crazy in fact get from underneath my covering go there into the wild and let the dogs and wolves and the roaches eat you up come from under my invisible powerful superman covering get out of here you devil no so you see right you see the problem is there right i love this he that followed after righteousness and mercy finded life righteousness and honor now why did the bible says righteousness and mercy he that followed after righteousness and mercy because he understand that hey look here the the god of all creation was merciful to him then many things time sorry even he or she was doing things or in compromising positions when god could have exposed them god could have pulled the cover from over them and exposed them at stealing and and and having sex with other people other than their wives and husband and but god never did it so this person realized that hey i can't be trying to to to to mess everybody over knowing that god was so merciful to me let me let me extend mercy to these people so we say he that followed righteousness and mercy and this is what he's going to find in his search for those things he's going to find life righteousness and honor people are going to appreciate you they're not going to gonna gonna despise you remember i was telling you the other day there are a lot of preachers even if they preach an erroneous message and they discovered later that that wasn't entirely what the bible was saying they wouldn't come back humbly and say i was wrong because in their mind no no no no i have given them the impression that i'm always right so at best they will twist it to say that isn't what they really meant but you see with righteousness it automatically comes with a code of humility and if you're wrong then you say listen i was wrong for whatever why you were wrong as a relevant you were wrong and now god has revealed this to you and this is how we should do it based on these scriptures listen i don't care how much they curse you i don't care much they say smart people are going to say i can appreciate this woman i can appreciate this man because they didn't allow us to continue in this or try to take the blame off of them like like they was just delirious when they was teaching like the devil took them over now that god came upon them no no so what i'm saying to you is that you have to have a part of being righteous is a sense of humility that my righteousness have nothing to do with me but everything with the with the god in me trying to meet his standard my righteousness have none to do that i drive the church because you could be driving the church bus and having church sex with the church members so that'll make you righteous your righteousness have nothing to do with you being an usher your righteousness have nothing to do to being the pastor an apostle your righteousness have nothing to do with being apostolic or church of god in christ or the assemblies of god or prophecy or or pentecostal or baptist or cat that have nothing to do with righteousness these are names that have zero to do it right righteousness is doing what the scriptures tells us to do that's what it is we are the righteousness of god in christ jesus so the standard in which god is going to hold us to as it relates to righteousness is not our own righteousness but what he said and please he said i've given you the greatest advantage ever i've made you righteous what that means that i've justified you you wasn't deserving of it you still got some issues in your life you're still battling evil thoughts and sex and lying and cheating and i knew that but i've made you righteous so that means i've cleared your slits of god you're telling me now ten minutes ago before i got saved i was king fornicator king liar love porn love to smoke grass weed crack all that but the holy spirit descended upon me and i gave my life to you all right now this was five minutes after i was those things so you're telling me god that five minutes after accepting or even a second after accepting you you have literally cleared my state and you see me as a righteous person as if i've never done nothing wrong yes so what's the catch the catch is you know need to modify the deeds of your flesh you need to bring you need to upgrade your flesh to the standard in which i've placed you in me but i have nothing to do with you saying you don't smoke no more you don't drink no more so therefore i'm righteous no now you continue following in my rules to bring your flesh to the standard in which i've done for you spiritually i'm talking to somebody i'm talking to someone stop trying to live this life of perfection righteousness is not perfection righteousness is living to according to the word of god god knew you would mess up god knew you would do foolishness and hence he put a lot of sub-clauses to meet you at where you are he said if you confess your sins i am faithful and just to forgive you so that mean he knew he was gonna sin so i put this clause in there for you and you deal with that he said a just mindfulness seven times and get back i knew you would have fall all i'm saying to you is repent and do your best not to do this again get but if you fall again repent but don't have the mindset of god i can i can repent for fornicate now but i i get some more this tomorrow so you better be ready to forgive me again no no no premeditated presumptuous sin we're talking about we're truly trying to make a difference there's a fight that's going to happen because those spirits that normally led you into these things so easily without any resistance there's a challenge now because you're truly trying to live and god is going to help you he will help you but again i'm i'm making it clear here many of you right now many of you got boyfriend's girlfriends probably even married and laden with guilt right now because you know you did something you had no business doing no you can't even tell this to nobody because this here it's just straight up evil and god forbid if your wife or your husband or whatever and you're tormented with the thought so what the devil will do for you after you've already brought this guilt on you well you might as well go back for some more i mean you don't mess up no but that's not what god is saying god said i've made provisions for you now accept my provision accept that you have done wrong come to me and repent of violating my law of fornication my law of adultery repent now give me your hand again and let's go let's continue with this journey now get more into my word because the more you get into my word the more my word is going to push out this evil desire from you but don't say you get back up again you don't read the word of god you don't listen to sound doctrine you you don't go to a place that could teach you the word of god but you sit down trying to fight this on your own you will fail for every time talking to somebody all right talking to someone so anyway let's let's look at some a few more scriptures as it relates to the self-righteousness thing and then we're going to wrap this right up okay let's look at proverbs 12 15 proverbs 12 verse 15. proverbs 12 15. the way of a fool is right in his own eye in his own eyes sorry but he that hearken or listen unto console is wise a fool this is so powerful see a fool would say to you i could be safe and i could be a practicing fornicator i could be a i could be safe and go to heaven but i'm committed to to to to uh whatever sins it is you know i'm trying to avoid using homosexuality because again people switch the narrative also homosexuals don't listening it's the most debated one okay since it anyway so the bible say a fool in his old eyes like the the the past i was telling you about from california he said hey man i'm homosexual i'm a pastor man we speak about love here man we talk about you know we don't judge each other man a fool in his own eyes meaning that again you're taking your which you deem to be righteous which you deem to be holy and using this as a standard for god's people are you wrong bro you should tell them i'm homosexual and i love being homosexual but don't follow what i do you see what the bible say now if you want to follow what the bible says then you go ahead but this is what i'm going to do man i respect you i respect you you know i respect you because you're not trying to lead people on the road you've created i'm not judging you for what you do for what you how you do that what laws you break do not lead others on that road when you know the very bible that you read from this this is not the case what's this next one uh isaiah 5 21 what is it says woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes these are self-righteous people you know there are some churches there are some churches where they believe that only them preached the true word of god no other church on the planet just their branch sorry just their particular umbrella of churches and every other church is of the devil now before you call them nut cases right do yourself a favor and go visit them i'm telling you go visit them and you watch and see what their standards are their standards are and it's gonna always be about their standard of righteousness but never they will use some scriptures like like they don't believe in divorce one they don't believe that a woman should wear men trousers right woman shouldn't wear weave and makeup and jewelry and a woman should never hear brady because it's the scriptures that's what they're going to tell you now stay there long enough and what you're going to realize that even though they're not divorcing and i'm not promoting that in any way let me be clear here there is a high rate of infidelity there now i'm gonna leave my husband but i didn't stop me from having sex with brother john over here big silent secret thing why because righteousness to them is our standard not god standing god see remember they don't see this part of you they don't see you in bed with another person's husband or wife they don't see that so i could it's okay for me to come back the following sunday and preach and guess what i'm gonna preach about i'm gonna preach about adultery that's what i'm gonna preach about and i'm gonna condemn them to hell fire glory be to god but i can't wait to get from this pulpit to go resume my affair with so-and-so over here my husband don't know his wife don't know so be very careful of any religious institution that has as their banner or whatever the case may be sorry for stuff cosmetics cosmetic stuff aesthetic so that's it they're more no you know you cannot come into this church as a female if you're wearing pants that's not what the lord please ma'am go get safe please go accept jesus and go put on a skirt and that skirt should be no more than 33 centimeters above your ankle if you want jesus to recognize you what did i say to you their righteousness is based on their standard but they'll get on that prophet we are living in a day where people don't want nothing to do with jesus but the bible said come as you are you come but i came they came as they were and you told them your policy and their policy or your righteous way of living your standard here it did not they wouldn't didn't correlate with your which are so they you're not letting them in the house of god jesus never said that to the prostitute or the woman who had five husbands at the well he didn't say to her hey five husband or you're going straight to hell listen nick look you voice first class take it straight to hell let me tell you that right now okay i may be the living water but you ain't get none of that because you've got too much husband you're no good self no so what the self righteous do why because it's going to be based on his or her standard i was married for 40 years to my good decent wife here all right there's a standard here and i think as the leader i should lead this standard now he's going to tell you about the affairs he had he's going to why would he tell you that it's going to take away from his righteousness but this is what's so amazing about god what is so amazing and again no way in this teaching i'm teaching you how to sin what i'm saying to you is god knew your flaws even before you did it god knew you was going to mess up god knew that in your process of of coming to his standard he knew you would fall and he never condemned you what he did he made provisions for you but watch what he does say for those who who believe that god isn't looking at their wickedness but then they're putting on a different face for you up there proverbs 28 13 i love it what does it say he that hided his sin shall not prosper why rev could never make it like he never it's always a struggle with him every time you hear me in the battle every time you hear him the struggle is real i can never hear wherever minister so and so talking about nothing like god bless them or or they always saying how they always on the edge of the blessing and the devil come and take it well let's look at the scriptures let's look at the scriptures because remember the same rapper says he's the husband of one wife look at that rare devil juice has never been to my lips oh my god how could people drink those things but when we did some more forensic into the scriptures it says yeah he that hided his sin the result of that even though i don't know what sin he's hiding is that he will never prosper where have you been building this for 1.6 million years you you fighting to keep the lights on here rev you you're the man of god and you need help yourself but you've been needing help so why if you're so righteous and you'd see being a pastor as you got to be right with god because he's letting you keep you letting you remain to be the pastor then why what why why well let's look at the scripture again he that hideth his sin shall not prosper but the guy who's trying to live according to god's righteousness father i lied today i told a lie and i was afraid i told her because i didn't want my boss knows i would have gotten in trouble i was wrong forgive me god please i repent of what i did but no the fellow here he's doing that no why because his righteousness is based on what he see as being righteous so this is why jesus said on that day they can get the biggest surprise in their life on that day jesus come come jesus look here they even make no sense you're looking in that book close the labs book of life because i know my name up in there oh come on jesus they couldn't who jesus who else happened yet gonna preach a fiery message like me huh huh who else could it do to spit around and put their hand and make these people just float all over the ground from the healing i had all up in me come on jesus man you think this is so close that book i don't know you trying to impress these people i know my name in the lab's book of life and jesus i'm going to turn to them and who are you again you see why right because all their lives they they they they fool themselves that because there's their little congregation always go past the preacher pastor tell them pastor take that they need that pastor but god wasn't cheering you on you are them fooled but god wasn't full and that's why many people are going to get the surprise of their lives unfortunately on that day there's no fixing it on that day there's no okay god i understand now let me go back and repair it no no no no no no no no so you could come up with all your theology sorry your theories and hypothesis and the queen's english you could do all that now i don't listen to that kevin guy listen uh once you're under our apostolic so so uh you're good to go and goddess and god isn't going to look at those things you know what god is looking at is what you do for your pastor right okay once you saw that seed come on now i didn't want to go here but god is looking at the seed because the seed been germinated in the soil it must die first to rise up in glory come on now and you need to sow that seed and to say that's their standard that isn't what your bible say and you are equally as guilty as they are when you dismiss the word of god by not studying to show yourself for proof but going on the words of men the bible is very clear jeremiah 17 5 i think it is and it says curse be the man that puts his trust in man that's what i read let's look at some more scriptures let's look at uh let's look at proverbs 26 12. i like this one proverbs 26 verse 12 says sees thou a man wise in his own conceit he's full of himself self-righteous he's always right i had a friend of mine who told me that one time he said he said kevin when i give my opinion right i am always right when it comes to my opinion i said really are you coming to the conclusion easy because it's my opinion and because it's my opinion i'm right he said okay go ahead my friend have a field day see is that a man why isn't his own conceit his own arrogance listen what he says now there is more hope of a fool than for him what's that does that really mean a person who's arrogant that's why i cannot tolerate arrogant people they have no capacity to uh what's what i want to use no capacity to not consider they have no composite no capacity to negotiate anything reason that's what i want to use they cannot reason because see they're so filled with themselves so self-righteous that it is stairway no way or you could hit the highway a lot of preachers are like that no humility none let's look at another one here verse let's look at second corinthians 10 verses 17 to 18. second corinthians 10 verses 17 to 18 but he that glorieth let him glory in the lord okay for not he that commended himself is a proof but whom the lord commanded in so much words don't tap yourself on the back and says uh yes i told you i always had it right no he says let the lord be the one that do that let let god do it because when god approves it what that mean or what that meant is that you would have met god's standard of righteousness you see not not what you feel not what you think not what you're brainwashing these people in this audience or congregation to believe see and again it's easy to determine self-righteous people as well of self righteous churches because they're always pointing people to them or to their apostolic or to their particularly branch of churches or their particular denomination it has not got jesus christ in his word it's just the marketing tools to get you there once you're here you're under our coverage you're under our spiritual apostolic cheerios mickey mouse grits and corned beef that's what you're wondering now and the day you leave this there'll be no more corn beef needed grits for you okay so that right they could tell you you could you know right away any religion any person that is truly a man woman of god or an organization of god that the key note speakers of that assembly is always pointing you to god always trying to tell you develop a relationship with god and even if they're not telling it to you they're showing it in their action they're always teaching the word sound word and the word is always coming back to god and his rules and his precepts and his commands his son jesus christ and the compassion and all this other stuff it's about god yeah i uh i watched the i think i mentioned this before there was a particular handing over power of a very very very popular church in america very popular denomination sorry and there was a transitioning where one was stepping down and another one was coming up anyway they did a video but the one who was stepping down where he was giving his final words in his departure or his stepping down and while he was narrating what he did they had a video showing the different things that he did so i watched it twice actually because i didn't want to be judgmental i really wanted to see what is what so in his speech whatever he said you know we have built this and we we did anything nowhere that i hear in there in his tenure of being the head of that organization nowhere did i hear a number of the amount of souls that were saved nowhere did i hear a number of people that came off drugs nowhere that i hear what we gave to the poor and how we brought people from substandard to living condit nowhere guess what i heard they built this they had they opened up an auditorium here they they they did a commentary service on a building that they did and so and so so you see here right i tell you you will know them by their fruit i keep telling you this their fruit is gonna nowhere am i hearing where you built people nowhere i'm hearing where you invested in the lives of humans what i'm hearing is where you build buildings brick and mortar and and because you want to say while you were here that 3 500 seat room place over there i did that okay the soup kitchen where we employ x amount of people i mean that's right i did that okay we ain't interested in those swords man they do let somebody else deal with that you will know them by their fruit just and his wife is hugging him and she's looking up at him and i say wow this is awesome but i wonder i would love to be on the day of judgement when you roll up when you roll up to that gate and that long book of life is open and you thinking good well i know my name there come come baby come come next day man squeeze me because be about to be transported like when scotty beam up captain click in star trek right about now only when you get there to tell you your name is not here your name is not here what you mean my name is not here who you think built that big building all right who do you think did that build the berlin has been demolished since then well who you think did the driveway over here and put the white stripes so the cars would park in a morgue and who do you think did that so that has nothing to do with qualifiers to get beyond the skate the scriptures are very clear as to what you should have met or quiet to meet the standard for getting in the gates or in the kingdom of god so i'm saying to you people listening to me right now and i hope that this this little message was a challenging one for you that you don't have to sound alarmed hey i'm a christian you don't have to put on a shirt jesus i love you and on the back you're saying all sinners will go to hell no no no we will know you by your fruit we will know you by what you are consistently doing consistently saying if this is who you really are you will be speaking and you don't even realize it no man you don't have to tell me how much churches you built you don't have to tell me you were saying from king hatchet was a hammer you don't have to tell me that you are more saved than me you are more spiritual than me no i mean no no no i'm looking at you on a consistent basis and what you're saying does not match with what you do on a consistent basis and i am advised by scripture not by your standard of righteousness to make my assessment of you based on your fruit so don't get mad at me when i tell you what i see you producing you're trying to force me to give you accolades and awards as if you were one producing apples but i am seeing nothing but grapes coming from you so based on what i see here this is another episode of trying to to to do some gas lighting here you're trying to to to to make me doubt my reality of what i see of you oh man no i'm not one of your members you you you you switch brains when they became member of your church no i'm gonna keep my brain i'm gonna keep my brain because i get to see who you really are should try that okay let's look at this this this we got two more scriptures here all right let's look at proverbs 28 proverbs 28 and we're going to read verse 25 to verse 26 proverbs 28 verse 25 to 26. it says he that is of a proud heart stirred up strife this is true especially if you're telling them they're wrong but he that put his trust in the lord shall be made fat this is awesome he didn't have a proud heart proud arrogant this is the way that i do it he will always be the one causing strife because he says hey don't listen to kevin don't listen to pastor so-and-so don't listen to reverend so-and-so and he's telling you that because they're truly going by the word of god so the problem no no no i'm the right one so how is he stirring up strife he's training his members he's training his followers that hey anyone that's going against anything that i say not the bible if i say it and they're saying otherwise well then you go after them that's what you do but listen what the bible says but he that puts his trust in the lord shall be made fat that word also means to be wealthy or to flourish so we're saying if your confidence is god if your standard if your benchmark of righteousness is in god or the way god do it prepare to be wealthy prepare to be in good standing with god prepare to get the best out of life verse 18 says sorry verse 25 of proverbs 28 says he that trusted in his own heart is a fool he that lives by his own standard of righteousness is a nut case foolish ignorant they're set they're being set up either trusted in his own heart is a fool but who so walketh wisely wisely meaning according to the righteousness of god he shall be delivered how is deliverance going to come for this guy because he's going to do it god wait he isn't going to go down by the beach and let somebody bait him and supplement dip him seven times he's going to let somebody make do a spiritual bath put a bunch of leaves and herbs in a bucket with a bunch of candles around the place and and chatting stuff of you and putting leaves on you know no i'm reading here it says but whoso walk it wisely according to the word of god he shall deliverance is going to come because he's following the scriptures the the antidote that he's seeking to rev to relieve him of his troubles is via the scriptures let's look at galatians 6 3 galatians 6 3 what it says for if a man thinking himself to be something bigger than what he is when he is nothing listen he deceived himself i am righteous i don't smoke cigarette i don't drink alcohol what else do i do uh uh i i don't wear my sh i don't wear jewelry i don't wear jewelry and and uh i make sure to write a motor jericho juices on my jerry curls so the bible says if a man thinking himself to be something he figure by embellishing his outward appearance he think he is bigger than life bob said when he is nothing he said he deceiving himself these are the same people on the day of judgment who are going to say lord lord haven't i done so and so in your name he says no man you was thinking you thought that because i was giving you the power to do whatever what you thought it was about you you were deceiving you now look at you you in front of me now time to run out on you now you want us make a deal now you know deal up in your mind go straight there where you belong ain't no more deals here get out of here don't you try that okay look at proverbs 27 verse 2 proverbs 27 verse 2 let another man praise thee and not thine own mouth oh i don't smoke i've been saved for 70 years he said let somebody else say that i am the husband of one wife but these chicks are funny say they've been with you also even though you're the husband stop it do no good let another man praise thee and not thine own mouth a stranger and not thine own lips give somebody just once the opportunity to speak of your quote unquote good fruit that's what he's saying here all right let's look at john uh john 9 verse 41 okay and i'm giving you these scriptures and i hope you're writing them now because i want you to go study these for yourself okay john 9 verse 41 john john saint john 9 41 jesus said unto them if ye were blind you should have no sin but now you say we see therefore your sin remained let me read that again jesus said unto them if you were blind you should have no sin but now ye say we sin therefore your sin remained all right i'm going to give you the last two i got a lot more but i'm giving these last one again write this down because i want you i i train you not to take my word don't take no man word go over the scriptures ask the holy spirit to give you insight uh and tell him to reveal it to you because you your benchmarks are the scriptures not me not a human we are i'm just a deliverer i'm just a teacher i'm not your god i'm not your savior what i say isn't gospel unless it is the gospel all right uh isaiah uh no we said this one already okay luke 16 is the last one luke 16 15 luke 16 15 and he said unto them ye are they which justify yourselves before men but god knoweth your hearts for that which is highly esteem among men is abomination in the sight of god boy not now that's a good one they're not right there hey the scriptures are very clear and basically what it's saying to you is that your just like jesus just the bible said in uh isaiah 64 6 i think it is it says your righteousness which you deem to be so honorable and righteous are as filthy rights before god okay but the god kind of righteousness as the bible would have said he that followed after righteousness and mercy uh shall find uh uh honor righteousness and i can't remember the next one is so righteousness isn't where i am taking a ban around hey i am kevin i am safe and on this banner i have these arrows pointing on me i am saved you all get it i am saved i i am sinless i don't commit sin i am i don't do nothing wrong i am right but the minute night fall i throw that on the side and i go to my evil life but when they come where people could see me now i'm back with the banner on the on the highways again what the scriptures are saying is whether you do it in the day or night god isn't looking at your exterior god is constantly judging you based on your heart condition that's what he's looking at so that's why the bible says that you are deceiving yourself when you inflate yourself to be greater than who you really are and i initially started out by saying that also because on the day of judgment that's why i gave you that scripture in matthew 7. on the day of judgment you're going to get the surprise because you're going to believe that because you were able to fool all of the people you truly thought you would master simultaneously fooling god so much so that when you roll up there you say man okay i might as well push that back on the side because i know my name up in there but your name isn't going to be there because you've already met all of the qualifiers to have a one-way front one-way ticket front row seat in the torturing flames of hell fire very simple there's nothing difficult about this message you know very simple so re-evaluate you do and trust back on yourself and if you want to know your self-righteous when you're always comparing yourself to somebody else but never to the word of god that's that's that's the perfect uh way of putting it right there a self-righteous person is always comparing themselves to someone else but never to the word of god as it relates to what god deem as righteousness so i am more saved than kevin okay i have been around and christian done more than kevin that's what you're saying got none to do it i've been following the laws i've been making it a conscious effort and i could look at my life where i used to lie i don't lie no more i used to funny kid i don't do that no more i used to be full of fear i don't do that anymore fear is also the same people don't realize that would be good another time i but why am i not doing this anymore because i'm following after righteousness and i'm which means i'm following after what god says and because of that he's stripping me of those things so he says kevin you are the righteousness of god in christ jesus you are righteous when you got saved but again there's another piece of software that you need and the software that you need is is gonna upgrade your flesh now view after the bible says now that you are saved now that you've been justified and glorified all of that you've done even though you still found a kid even though you still have the desire to lie even though you have all of that he says okay now this new piece of software that we gonna put in you this is now gonna make just like uh let me put it to the best way because i'm a computer person i have a a a keyboard or a printer i have a printer and i want to connect this printer to my computer well if i connect it via the cables more than likely the computer would not recognize it so the manufacturers will either send a a a a disk or a thumb drive or whatever to put in the software where the two could communicate with each other now when i turn it on it's not going to recognize the computer so what i want to print now it will print it is the same thing when you become the righteousness of god when you become the righteousness of god sorry when you become the righteousness of god it's nothing that you did god has upgraded the spiritual part of your system he says okay i'm you accepted me you've been reconciled to me through jesus christ so you are righteousness so i cleanse you of everything you've repented and all that i cleanse you of all the wickedness all the witchcraft you did all the voodoo all of these things i had to take all of this stuff from you all of that is gone now right now listen what he says next he says now you must mortify the deeds of the flesh okay now the modification part is the next piece of software that you need to now bring your flesh up to standing with what god has done with your spirit in terms of modif sorry in terms of justifying it cleansing it of all righteousness that's what you need to do now so every day is a day where you get more and more with into the word of god why because of your own you will never stop drinking alcohol and getting drunk off your own you will not stop fornicating off your own you will not stop lying so he says now that we are partners in this i'm gonna help you but the help is going to come from my word and you've got to make a commitment to want to do it my way when you do it that way you're not focusing on i'm not going to lie anymore i'm not going to steal anymore in doing the word of god which may not parts of doing it have nothing to do what you're trying to get rid of but as you move in time and i'm telling you what happened to me also hold on why don't i have these lustful thoughts anymore those thoughts that i couldn't control at one point whoa why when i in a jam i'm not quick to seek a way out by telling a lie but i just want to tell the truth now but you aren't focusing on that you're focusing on following the word of god because that's what the bible is saying jesus says you are now clean through my word so if i continue in the word i am not gonna even drop stuff i didn't even set out to deal with but the word is washing me the word is cleaning me the word is moving the word is shutting down those voices in my head that i tried for many years doing on my own and failed at every juncture all right so anyway that's it for me today folks i just wanted to share that with you that's how we're 30 minutes in i pray that this teaching was a blessing to you and i pray that it gives you a different understanding the right understanding according to scriptures of as it relates to being self-righteous and the dangers of it actually where it could set you up for eternity to spend eternity in in the kingdom of darkness whereby we ought to be seeking or pursuing or following uh the god kind of righteousness and the mercy according to scripture and in doing that the bible promises that we will have excuse me uh honor she's my honor righteousness and i can't remember the next one right now all right so as usual folks don't just take my word i always say to you i give you a myriad of scriptures because i want you to go and read it for yourself i make the the bible very entertaining because that's what attract you to it that's going to make you want to go in it man are those things really in the bible my lord the will that he explained that sounds so simple i like the way that he explained it the whole idea is to give you a passion for the word of god a desire to get up and read it not just what i say okay myself and many of you come from that whatever pastor said i said you're even going to research it no i'm encouraging you to go and research it i'm encouraging you to say lord give me even more revelation the revelation don't stop need to start with kevin just how you can give it to him give me more insight because i'm sure while i was teaching this you were getting a revelation outside of what i was saying which all line up with what i am saying so god wants to speak to you he demonstrated what i just told you so say lord speak to me i'm going to go over these scriptures i'm going to play this thing again i'm going to share with other people because i do not want people to believe that because of their standard of righteousness they're right with god in fact their standard of righteousness automatically makes them one of the candidates on the day of judgment where jesus said i never knew you in spite of all the good things that you did but what you did was making your standard of righteousness the god way and that became the benchmark as opposed to the god heavenly father we thank you we thank you for another session of your divine word we thank you father god that i thank you for the gift that you've given me and with such joy to teach your people to really make it plain really make it simple uh depleted of arrogance pride and all these other things and just giving them your word because the whole idea lord i know it's going to wake up the gifts in them it's going to answer a lot of questions that they probably even put on the backbone of years ago so i thank you lord that even though we're talking about self-righteousness it is still affecting other areas of their life that have nothing to do with self-righteousness and that's just how powerful and diversified your word is so we want to thank you this afternoon this morning however these people may be in their part of the world we want to thank you for your your authentic word we want to thank you for your word that's renewing us it's strengthening our spirit man it's it's helping us to mortify the deeds of our flesh it's challenging us in the sense that we're saying to ourselves even if we haven't accepted you as yet and just listening to these teachings that we cannot continue to live this cycle of defeat up and down sad one day you know happy tomorrow no but the god kind of righteousness even if things aren't panning out the way that we would want it to be and being righteous with you it doesn't matter what happened even up if we die because we are assured that we will be spending eternity with you and that's the goodness about serving you that we don't have to fear death like others we don't have to be what if i die what's going to happen when you've made so many provisions that you will bless us more and more us and our children and and you will not only save us but us and our households so god there's just so many benefits as it relates to your word so many things to look forward to and not being materialistic junkies that unless we get a new car or new home or new job or new girlfriend boyfriend husband wife that our joy and is just limited to that moment until it wears away and i thank you jesus that your word is not like that that no matter where we are in life no matter how we feel the word of god is forever the word of god is powerful the word of god is sure you said that you've placed your word above your name you said that heaven and it shall pass away but not one title of your word shall pass your word declares in proverbs 30 verse 5 that every word of god is pure not you o lord are a shield unto those that put their trust in you father if this is the case then our confidence should be in your word and we should be highly offended when any human tries to manipulate or add or take away from your word when you have it in such high regard to put it above your name in and of itself speak volumes so we again should be highly offended we should be basically losing it when somebody feel they could come and alter delete or do some self referendum on your word father we have done it at any point in our lives or we have enabled others make it easy for them to do it father we repent right now we repent for discarding your word we repent for dismissing your word we repent for cheering on and approving the amendment of your word by others whom we've held whom we have held in great esteem over you and i said that why we may not say that verbally we did it when we accepted what they said over the word of god so father this day we repent this day we ask your forgiveness for doing that in any way fashion or form whether we did it in great magnitudes or in small increments we truly repent and ask your forgiveness for dismissing misplacing augmenting tweaking your word so we thank you for your word we thank you for this understanding and we pray via your help that you would help us continually continue lord to mortify the deeds of the flesh and to always meet your standard of righteousness bringing our deeds or our fleshly a flesh part of us bring it up to stand it to the righteousness that you've already made us spiritually now we want those two to correlate physically and spiritually with you god we bless you we honor you we praise you and we ask these things in jesus name amen and amen well folks that's it for me i will be back with you god's best life on saturday back with my program i'm going to be going into part two of witchcraft and relationships boy we got some divine revelation be going deep like i always tell you bring your scuba gear please bring make sure you're certified for diving deep depths because we're going to go extremely deep okay we're going to come but as usual a myriad of scriptures we're going to go through each one because we're going to bring this baby all together to make complete spiritual sense and many people are going to be released from their captivity spiritually as a result of this information why kevin how could you make such a grand announcement because the scriptures are clear proverbs 11 verse 9b what does it say through knowledge through knowledge what happened shall the just be delivered every believer needs deliverance let's be clear if they tell you they don't need deliverance they need to get saved then okay so until next time guys god bless you and you have a great day
