brought forth plentifully and he thought within him himself saying what shall i do because i have no room where to bestow my fruits and he said this will i do i will pull down my bones and build greater and there will he stored for my fruits and my goods and i will say unto my soul soul thou has much goods laid up for many years take thine ease eat drink and be merry twentieth and last and

justice demanded satisfaction the lord been broken again and again judgment required immediate action [Music] there on the cross when justice met grace mercy refused jesus [Music] mercy refused [Music] [Music] christ has become my righteousness the lord is my peace he's my freedom from sin now i float in his righteousness [Music] to [Music] [Music] jesus [Music] [Music] [Music] is [Music] oh [Applause] and locked up my place [Music] mercy [Music] but jesus took my place really [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] uh can you just play something there for me my brother this one that's why i'm here [Music] [Music] this week i was in my devotions god led me to the book of joel sorry he didn't lead me to the book of jewell he led me to another book wasn't that one just how to get my man there's a lot of stuff going through my mind you have no idea how much is going through my mind i don't know if bishop is going to get a preacher who's going to get a preach because if there's one thing i've appreciated since i have met you in this house is that you allow the holy ghost to move i'm in so many churches where the holy spirit is stifled because they have a program but bishop i want you to know this morning how much we appreciate you giving the holy spirit the liberty and the freedom to do what he wants to do in the service human of god allow that i appreciate how you allow your people to flow in the spirit [Music] and you don't stifle and inhibit them but you allow them to develop and grow and mature and i'm sure there are times you sit with them and you guide them and you teach them and you instruct them but to be in a house where i know what i can feel and i can identify with the holy ghost my best friend [Music] to know that i've done nothing to deserve this this is incredible not one of us has done a thing to deserve this and yet he showers us with his grace and his mercy with his love and his compassion there are times i feel so embarrassed because of how much love he pours upon you and how we can be to him [Music] i was in the word this week and the lord led me to the you're the you're the theologian i don't know a lot of theology i know where to find what i'm looking for in the bible though i can tell you that because i've understood that the lord told me to hide his word in my heart on his reference but i was reading this week where joel was standing before the throne of god satan was standing next to him rightfully accusing him because his attire was filthy clothing and god got upset because there is a price that he has paid for us and this worthless spirit called satan accuses us every day all day long and god got upset and got up off the throne now let me tell you something when sovereignty is sitting it's one thing but when sovereignty stands up that's another [Applause] and god got upon his feet and he said the lord rebuked him [Music] i don't know what you're facing this morning i don't know what lighthead has been telling you i don't know what position he's been trying to put you in making you think that you are not worthy but in spite of the fact that justice demanded satisfaction death wanted payment for sin but mercy refused and love took my place there on the cross look at it fear [Music] i have no idea you said i'm gonna do whatever i i i want to do i don't know what i'm going to do i don't know what's going to happen next so i will be ready for it it's it's it's a risky thing to put a mic in the hands of a pentecostal preacher that is a risky thing to do it is even more risky to put a mic in my hands because you may not get it back until next sunday i was sitting back there this morning and and bishop morris and sister morris i was marveling at how good your eyesight is that you could look through this assembly and see all these different individual people and identify them and i don't know if you understand what that means i don't know if you understand what that means because i'm sitting up here and i can hardly make out a face [Music] but to to look in an audience and and pick out a person who's been away and i don't know i have that gift but this speaks of a component of care and love and oversight that you carry and i want to commend you as spiritual leaders in this house i want to honor you not because it's a form and a ritual not because you happen to be the bishop i'm honoring you both because of the care i see you exhibit in this house for the way you allow the holy spirit to use you and to use your people i want to tell you how deeply appreciative i am of having seen that and experienced it because i don't know i've really met your bishop a lot before and i know how we guard these pulpits because you have to be careful who you allow to stand here to release not just the word but the spirit they carry over the people see a lot of times we only watching the word that's preached but we don't observe the spirit that the person is carrying and before you know it that spirit spreads begins to create problems in the church that's why i was on my knees because i was begging god i said god when i get it from here please don't let me carry anything but your holy spirit assassinate whatever i have here on my knees that what the people receive will be your spirit not mine [Music] i cry easy i cry easy i'm a man but i'm a wise man [Music] foolish men don't cry but i've learned to cry because in the first seven eight years of my life i grew up with my mother who was a principal of a girls school so i grew up among girls for eight years and women girls cry they cry for nothing they cry when they're happy they cry on their side they cry when they're hurt they cry when they're not hurt you don't know what to do when a woman starts to cry just back up and let her cry and so i've learned to shed tears but what i feel in my heart right now is the gratitude [Music] his generosity is overwhelming how good he has been how he's blessed me and i don't know if you're so content taken up with the pandemic and the virus to forget how good god has been [Applause] last week our churches in barbados sat with the government to negotiate how many people will attend our services because we have had to return to six foot distance in protocols in spite of vaccinations [Music] i am not going to get into that subject because i feel strongly in certain directions and i will avoid anything that will bring divisiveness in the body of christ some of us feel one way and some of us feel another but what is required in the house of god is the respect one for another as to how we feel we should never allow any single thing that is raised in the government or in the world to bring division in the body of christ we must not allow it you feel one way i feel another but you're my brother you're my sister so take me by the hand together we will work until he comes there's no fool that can defeat us when we're walking side by side wherever it is wherever it is [Music] but i'm thankful to him his generosity is overwhelming i can't help but talk about it how he's kept my family he's preserved my family there's nothing more important to me than my family in this life save jesus christ nothing church is not more important to me jesus christ is and then comes my family and my family have come through not a graze they've come through a hurricane and they're fine and they're well and our homes are fine we've had to repair our homes and fix our homes but he's kept them i think of my son who's had to readjust his life my last son who prior to the pandemic was flying all over the caribbean doing different work for company in trinidad he was all over the caribbean well looked after and for the last several months he's not been able to move an inch and earn a dollar but yet god has provided for him [Applause] i think of my daughter pardon me if i talk a little bit about my family maybe we need to talk about her families a bit more in the house i think about my daughter who at the beginning of this pandemic had to go home but today she is a management person she was a management person in the hilton hotel in barbados and she still maintains her job to this day [Music] [Applause] a week and a half ago we buried the wife of one of the closest friends i have the man who owns simpson oil limited that you know of in this country he's my daughter's godfather and a couple of weeks ago we buried his wife in barbados my other son works with his company and to this day he is one of the few people that they did not release [Music] god has given him why am i sharing this with you because you may be seated in this house this morning up here and you may have been praying to god for years for this or for that but sometimes we forget that god doesn't always give us our blessings he gives our children and he rewards our children because of our dedication faithfulness i sat here with a joy in my heart to listen to this gift that was given to a lady who for 25 years am i right 25 some years enough years gay snacks snacks that many of us in this house would not consider to be a spiritual activity but jesus said when i was hungry you fed me when i was thirsty you gave me drink when i was naked you called me when i was in prison you visited me lord when did we do that to you [Music] you did that to me when you were feeding those children with those snacks in our virtual online service i'm sharing concerning christ's gifts to the church the apostle the prophet the evangelist the pastor teacher so that the saints of god can be equipped to do their own works of ministry and in so doing expand the body of christ and build it up it's not bishop's responsibility to bring people into the kingdom of god it's not sister maurice's responsibility to bring people into the kingdom of god that is yours their job is to equip you and empower you and from my time of visiting this house they have been doing that every one of us sitting in this house every one of us has a call of god and an ability provided by god to perform in his kingdom there are no idle people in the kingdom of god every single person is supposed to be occupied there are people that you will see this week but will not darken the doors of this church not even for a funeral but you will touch their lives and the last i checked bishop boris shepherds don't bear lambs sheep do shepherds don't bear lambs and i said this morning that the house is the place where people are discipled occasionally somebody may stumbling who doesn't know the lord and get saved but the house is the place where we are discipled where sheep are fed and nurtured and cared for and looked after so that when they leave they can bear lambs so that next time i come back to this country i expect to see this church bursting at the seas because the labs are being born the wonderful joy i've had in sharing with you and my time is drawing close to an end could be this month it could be next month i don't know i guess i'm a little bit like phillip i don't know where i'll be next they get snatched to somewhere else and just hope it's not not afghanistan i don't want to go there right now god knows that but i have been so deeply appreciative of the honor i have had to share with you from this pulpit and i thank you bishop and sister morris for the honor you have granted to me to share from this moment thank you one of the things i've identified with all of us your new testament and i am pentecostal i still haven't grappled with what that means because the last i checked in the word we are all one in christ jesus there's no jew there's no gentile there's no free there's no slave there's no new testament there's no pentecostal it's just one i don't carry a denominational tag somebody take it off me amen i just love being among the people of god and sharing what god has done with me and for me but as i have been in this house i have appreciated the liberty that i have felt where i am left to believe that you're not new testament [Music] but that you're more pentecostal reminds me of when i first came into a pentecostal church because i was an anglican i don't know if you all know what that is i don't know if you have angry guns in jamaica or in the cayman islands but i was a high church fellow i carried the cross i carry the lantern i i waved that thing that nearly killed everybody in the church every sunday morning i did all of that sang in the choir and then i got saved and went to one of these insane churches called pentecostals where people were doing all kinds of crazy stuff and talking in all kinds of strange language until one day in a school room in my secondary schooling upstairs at the back of our hall a wind blew through the window and i had dropped languages four forms before but all of a sudden i was talking in a language i didn't know and it scared me do that until one of my mentors she sat with me and she said ferdinand what has just happened to you is that you have just been baptized in the holy spirit i didn't know what that was [Music] but boy am i lying i got it and so today i thank god for what he's done with my life and through my life i thank him for the honor the privilege i have had to travel around the world and to share his gospel with thousands and thousands and thousands of people but to keep me on my knees and to on help me to understand son it's not you all you are is a vessel the power that you have is not yours i will never stand in a pulpit and prophesy to a person unless the holy spirit leads me to do that you don't come to me to be prophesied too because the gift is not my the office is not mine that belongs to the holy spirit that belongs to christ and if the lord leads us to prophesy if he leads us to heal if he leads us to speak a word into your life if he leads us to the word of knowledge if he leads us through discernment that is the gift of the holy spirit you don't decide whether you're going to do that i hear a lot of people that ain't going around prophesying over people's lives and because they're deciding to do that you don't do that it's not yours but we share commonality of faith we believe in the father who created all that is and we believe in the universe and all therein is his a loving heavenly father he yearned to save us all to lift us from the fall we believe i thank god for our commonality of faith [Music] we believe in the father who created all [Music] is his as a love in heavenly father he yearned to save us all to lift us from the floor [Music] we believe we believe in the spirit who makes believers our hearts are filled with his presence the conflict [Music] has come the kingdom unfolds in his plan unhindered by quarrels of men the church of hell by his hand we believe we believe in the spirit who makes believers one our hearts are filled with his presence the comforter has come [Music] the plan unfolds from his hand on [Music] the church of hell by his hand [Music] we believe [Music] though the earth be removed and time be no more these truths are secure god's word will endure whatever may change these things are sure we believe so if the mountains are cast down into the place when kingdoms all crumble this one remains our faith is not subject to the seasons [Music] believe the lord will come as he said the land and the sea will give up [Music] as he said [Music] we believe [Music] [Music] do you believe this morning we believe what a ministry a powerful ministry hallelujah what a day that will be when all god's singers get to heaven there'll be a glory shouting on the hills of glory hallelujah and i believe that reverend ferdinand will be a part of that orchestra he will be one of the leaders when all god singers get home we're going to be ready now to worship god and i'm going to ask pastor daily to come along to hear his voice and he's going to come and lead us in

i'm not so good at songs some i may be able to quote the first line but after that i know a thing so i i i said to her i want you to help me with two songs i wrote it on life is like a mountain railroad that's all i could remember even now ask me the next few words i can't tell you but life is like a mountain railroad and the other song was mercy rewrote my life i am not going to preach but i am going to give you the three points that the lord spoke in my spirit after this choir song as a matter of fact i sat there and as your son that first song the holy spirit spoke to me and this is going to be an unusual thing so i might just call upon somebody to sing a song so prepare as the lord according to the scriptures that we read this morning saint luke chapter 12 13 through 21 that this subject that the lord would have me to cheer on immense blunders that people make serious blunders that people made and this man that he spoke to me about he had a financial problem and wanted jesus to fix it so jesus told him that's not what i'm here for because jesus knew what was in his heart so he's if you see how many times in that passage he said i and i six times he used the word i so in his plan he made blunders and the first blunder that he made he planned for himself and in planning for himself he forgot his neighbor and the second thing is in his planning whatever he was fixing to do considering all that he was about to garner he forget the giver and in the last one he forgot about his soul he made serious plans for the future but he forgot about his soul thus saith the lord and i'm done in your planning remember your neighbor in your planning remember the giver and in your planning remember your soul one of many things that are happening to us today is especially in this virus stricken world is that the authorities forgot to remember that if they're called upon god you know the previous government the minister of health every morning before he made his um he would call upon the lord and never forget that you look at what is happening around the nations and what is happening to us here in the cayman islands don't forget to remember to call upon the lord hallelujah lift up your hands with me somebody and magnify him for hearing us glory to god almighty motors i think it's around 1970 nine there about made a tremendous mistake they were

stopped at the stoplight and the drunken man slammed right into the back and it went up in flames one of the passengers as a matter of fact all of them were so burned but they didn't die it reached court and the court the jury recommend that they pay the company general motors p 4.9 million dollars because of the one mistake if we make that kind of a blunder in not remembering our god and where he brought us from we're going to pay high price the jewelry of heaven will find us guilty and the price is going to be high i'd like to submit to the government to hear this hear this mr premier mr governor if you make the mistake sirs of forgetting to remember the hand of god this island is going to pay high price serious blunders that people make thoughts said the lord father i have done that
