well come on give the lord a hand clap in a shout come on thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord i do honor my wife today i thank god for her amen the people of god generally speaking amen all right you may be seated in the presence of the lord i'm excited about this new talk we're going to jump into today amen um those of you in here who are ministers of the gospel you know how it is when you got a revelation and you just been itching to get it out there and that's how i feel about this one i want to start a new talk don't know how long or how short uh on this whole concept of christian discipleship amen and growth and uh specifically today i want to talk from the thought change everybody say change amen and more specifically i want to talk about the demand of change do you know that you're going to change like it or not change is inevitable amen so we want to deal with that today and i want you to go with me to second corinthians 5 and 17 all right to enunciate that point second corinthians 5 and 17. but i want to deal with that the demand of change change all right and and just how uh change is inevitable all right over in the second corinthians 5 and 17 speaking of christian discipleship paul says therefore and on your free time go read the whole chapter so you can find out what the therefore is there for but he says therefore if any man be in christ he has changed if any man legitimately born be born again if any man has really met jesus he has become a what new creature new creation some translations say and it says old things are passed away old things things i used to do ways i used to talk come on somebody ways i used to think old things are what passed away and behold all things how many things that is all things of my spiritual inward being have become new i am a new man pre-salvation i was an old man pre-salvation my spirit man was dead i was a dead man walking but when i met jesus my spirit man became just like christ i have as much life in me now as jesus himself had in him the same power romans 8 11 that raised jesus from the dead quickens my mortal body it's on the inside it's like ragu come on it's in there are y'all with me so all things about me are become new somebody say i change now pay attention to some words and phrases throughout my talk today because i'm going to use brother peter as my example today on what change for believers ought to look like change for a christian all look like the bible says old things are what pass away and how many things all things have become new look at verse number 21 from brother paul's standpoint then we're going to delve into brother peter he says for he has made him to be sin for us jesus to be sent for us who knew no sin in that good news he was the perfect sacrifice that we might be made did y'all see that that we might change that we might be made somebody say father thank you for making me well when did you get made though when you got born again amen when you accept jesus and then of course you come in to discipleship so your soul can be made you come into discipleship so your flesh can be conformed to the will of god amen your flesh it does not get born again right so you have to be made in those spaces but in spirit i am a spirit i have a soul and i live in the body the body i have been what made what have i been made i've been changed to the righteousness of god in him hallelujah i'm righteous because my spirit man has been changed so i want to deal with that today because i want to just say an opening statement that nothing stays the same y'all everything changes that's why we say today the demand of change change is inevitable pay attention to a few more phrases you all know it by heart but romans 12 and 2 says and be not conformed first word of change be not conformed to this world but be what transform second word of change and in between those two words there is no middle ground either you're going to be conformed to this world are you going to be transformed to the things and ways of god but change is inevitable nothing stays the same i can give you some practical examples of that you are not the same looking person you were 10 years ago it doesn't matter what age you are in this room amen if you're 29 10 years ago you were going through puberty you were short come on you didn't have the same physique you have now right and that's even if you're 20. and for god's sake if you're 40 how many you know you don't i don't care what they tell you you don't look like you did come on all right you can be as pretty as my wife who most certainly ages slowly her mom and them they got that that beauty gene in their family everybody in their friend just pretty just i look at their aunts and their they just they they got that slow aging uh their grandmother before she went to heaven oh just you know even at that age and stage of life some people have that but the truth is uh they still don't look the way they looked when they were 12 when they were 20 when they were 30 because change is what inevitable put that on spiritual terms so be not changed to everything going on in this world but be what changed to the things going on in christianity because the world will change you i want to tell you how powerful change is you consider the people who now have not been in church for 17 months there is no way on god's green earth that they are the same christian they were when they were serving stalwart in somebody's church no way no way and i know that's true because i need church every week i know that's true because even when they was talking about the shutdown stuff and everybody was figuring out what they were going to do and i was having church and all that kind of good stuff and he had limited crowds and all these kinds of things there was still a drought in my soul there was an unfulfilling there was a church outside when like y'all wasn't like the dance the music the shouting the singing the right so you can't tell me that people who have been void of god and void of community for all these months have not changed be not conformed to this world but be what you listen to the wrong news long enough guess what you're going to do you're going to change and i'm not just talking about newscasters you listen to the wrong revelations on single women uh not all singles are going to get married you keep hearing those statistics you will change your paradigm about marriage and you mess with the devil long enough you'll start to compromise it you'll start to consider and go ahead why don't i just go ahead and adopt a few babies now because uh that you know evidently i may not have a man you will start changing your ideologies about god's plan for the family i got in trouble when i said that and that whole idea of having a man in order to be fruitful and multiply yeah you can adopt but get your husband first it's getting good in here but y'all two words on change be not what's in this world conform don't change to the world but be transformed be changed change is inevitable i know this is true my dad used to raise pigs and hogs and he tell me the story about if one jumped the fence and got away and went out and those backs woods where the ravishing beasts are and they saw that same pig months later his back would be bowed up he has since grown thing like teeth what has he done he has adapted to his new environment and you better not get close to him because he's no longer domestic we can tell it's the same pig because he got the same mark that he had or the same tag he had when he was on our farm but since being out there and all this stuff with no resistance with no spiritual pressure he has started to conforming to everything around him and i stopped by to tell you you better get around and stay around the things of god so you don't conform to all of this wicked pressure around you somebody shout i'm not compromising i'm being transformed i'm not being conformed i'm being transformed two words on change god shows you change is inevitable you will not stay the same god delay is coming amen jesus rather delay is coming you see me preaching in 30 years i'll be preaching the same gospel amen but i will not look like this amen it's okay too no age is graceful yeah the young people who would have come up in my ministry some of you would have come up in my ministry amen they'll come back home i'm 40 years later whatever the case may be oh pastor gabe he he owed him now but he's still annoying come on that salt and pepper come on all of that kicking in right you have changed but you hadn't changed cause you were transformed way long ago so no matter what goes on in this world how many all know i'm not changing with the change i'm only changing with god if you're in here you're changing with god you're on the lord's side somebody shout hallelujah about that revelation boy it's gonna be a good lesson today everybody say change is a demand no y'all change is inevitable you are changing right now even being in this church is butting up against some ideas you may have had you have changed how many people since joining kcc and it doesn't mean your old church was a bad church but if you've been with me for a few years you learned some new things amen i heard somebody say yes lord thank you god so that thank you i won't say her name but right and i'm not saying that to toot my harm but your mind got renewed you finally realize i don't have to be sick that's right that's right i can be healed by his stripes i i don't have to be poor come on he became poor that i might become come on i don't have to be underneath come on because he placed all things under my feet come on i do have authority it's not just as the lord wills it's unto me according to my faith the heavens even the heavens belong to god but the earth has he given to the sons of man psalm 115 16 and i know that's accurate because it works in my life every day you should decree a thing and it shall be established i understand now the power of words so i don't just say you're driving me crazy my foot is killing me nothing is killing me the tongue of the wise is health are you listening to me so i don't say anything out of my mouth that i don't believe ought to be a happening in my life you change but you change because change is atmospheric you find the russian whatever flower of the same breed that is also in alaska they will be different did you know that because climates and minerals in russia and alaska are different same flower but the russian version of that flower differs slightly from the alaskan version why because whatever atmosphere you are in will create the change that is going to happen around you and that's why you need to thank god for the commonwealth of other people who believe god you need to thank god for the commonwealth of other people who believe the bible you need to thank god for the commonwealth of the last gay church somebody say thank god for a good change good change so i'm not conformed to this world but um so no way in the world you're going to tell me people been out of church 17 months are at the same place that i'm in today that's right you say whatever you want and that's not a braggadocio's statement it's just true no i have changed for the better this culture has not dr drugged me i haven't been conformed to this world or hallelujah oh hallelujah amen i've been compassionate with this world but i have not been conformed to this world or changed by this world i have been changed by the renewing of my mind everybody say we talk about good change so now let's get into christian discipleship because the question of the day is are you any further along in your spiritual development since you met jesus come on i gave you the good stuff in the beginning now we digging baby it's time it's time to go in now i'm doing christian discipleship i want to ask everybody in this church and you don't have to answer it to anybody except yourself don't slap your neighbor high five slap yourself high five have i gotten any better since i got born again have i gotten any better since i've come to this church have i gotten any better since i met jesus since i came into the kingdom of god am i any better any different from the first time that i so-called met jesus why do you say so-called because the truth of the matter is is if you claim to have met jesus but you have not changed an ounce something is missing either you are extremely carnal and remain the babe and what we call arrested development right or you never got born again to begin with and we're gonna walk through that in this series are you really safe cause i'm serious y'all for real if it take you 15 messages come on to tithe are you growing though you changed you still talk to your husband or your wife that way post salvation and please understand i am the mind or the spirit soul body guy i got a book coming out on this stuff in just a few short weeks and and y'all i know the difference between the three beings i know you can be born again and not grow in your soul our soul has to be conformed to the will of god amen that's the renewing of your mind that's being renewed in the spirit of your mind ephesians 4 23 but y'all even still your spirit if you really got born again it would be butting up against your soul it would be placing a demand on some growth your spirit man would be hungry your spirit man would want more amen your spirit man would want to see god blessed are the pure in heart the pure in their cardia the pure in their middle man for they shall see god your spirit man craves more when you're born again right so are you really changing are you listening to it and this is so good because the question of the day is what is your spiritual development since you met jesus write this down what do you have what is the difference in your pre-salvation self and now what do you have i want to give you a principle can we stutter brother peter out because he's a great example of this go to acts chapter three and six and y'all don't make me rush through this if we have to do points next sunday is that okay let's just take our time and get into revelation all right i believe scriptures are better than points anyway let's go to acts three and six because what has developed about me what do i have notice what brother peter says and i'm going to take you through a series of two or three scriptures to demonstrate development look at brother peter in acts chapter 3 and he's at the temple gate called beautiful there's a lame man there who i don't believe had walked even since birth yet peter makes a profound statement that if you read it too fast you'll miss the revelation listen what he says peter said to the guy who was begging he said silver and gold i do not have not worry about no money right now right but what i do have everybody say what do you have he said what i do have i give it to you then we see what he had he had power and development that's right he had something what i do have in the name of jesus christ of nazareth rise up and walk and the next time we see that fella he's leaping dancing and praising god because peter had something to change his situation and i'm asking you what do you have i didn't say what pastor gabe had i'm talking about those who say call my pastor so you can be prayed for i'm asking you what do you have i know what's going on in my spiritual development i'm asking you what do you have what what what what fortitude what power do you have today that you did not have ten years ago that you did not have five years ago what my sister my brother do you have man that's good what do you have to show for your christianity it's some good stuff because we're talking christian development now i'm gonna be a good pastor today but i told my leaders in the meeting yesterday and i got strong with it in our minister's development class and all that kind of good stuff and i said it to him i said now y'all it's a darn shame that some of y'all who've been around me seven and eight years and six and five years i can't pass the ministry on to you right now and know that you could take the bull by the horn and make it happen and you know that that's a powerful statement because jesus is 12 were with him three years but if you follow them throughout the book of acts they was all turning it upside down at least most of them minus judas and we don't hear much about basar o'mule and some of the rest of the guys but y'all even philip with his quiet self was teleporting i mean even the least of the disciples that he don't got he don't even got his own you know two chapters in that you know what i mean this brother got minimal writers but he he floating through cities what is some good teaching today and i'm asking you after all this time what do you have what do you have come on that's not condemning that's a good question because peter said silver and gold have a nun but that which i had i got an anointing oh hallelujah i've been with jesus for three years that which i what is going to get good oh is that all right general somebody say it's time to change can we look at peter's development melvin because i want to do christian discipleship in this series go over to matthew chapter 26 verse number 73. all right this is some good stuff let's look at his development let's look at the peter of acts chapter 3 verses the peter of just a few chapters early oh hallelujah let's go to matthew 26 and 73. all right and many people don't have anything because they're not growing but i'm going to tell you why you're not growing in just a second this is not condemning y'all there comes a time in the christian walk or in the kingdom existence that god wants an roi he wants a retain a return on his investment y'all why all these composite books full of notebooks most of you if you added up all your notebooks from the time you came to this church and went to all these conferences and all these services you could build a whole forest off of the trees that have been cut down to give you that many notebooks but come on is there any revelation from those pages that's getting down in you and is there anybody that's getting better because you changed are you a contributor to the kingdom of god or are you a liability what do you have this is some good stuff max matthew 26 73 yo let's look at the same man in the shell but he wasn't a shame man max 26-73 and a little later i don't want to read the whole story because of time but this is when peter was denying christ those who stood by came up and said to peter surely you also are one of them for your speech does what betrays you they're accusing peter having been around jesus look at peter's old nature then he began to curse and swear there's a sharp contrast to what he said to the man at the temple gate and what he said to these people here's my question are you still cussing what do you have and it's not just about cursing but are you still doing stuff you used to do now there's no legitimate reason why peter should have been cursing and swearing and acting like this having been around jesus for three years this is when peter was in his fall this is when peter was messing up right he's cursing and swearing i don't know the man then the rooster crocked three times and then verse 75 peter remembered the word of jesus who had said unto him before the roost crows you will deny me three times so he went out and what did he do the rooster didn't crow three times the rooster crowed and he remembered that word from jesus about the three times this was peter's old man you know i could show you a plethora of the scriptures but we don't have time at eight o'clock is is the same peter in acts chapter 3 the same one who had a temper problem is that all right when he cut the soldier's ear off is that the same peter it can't be the same peter right because if it were the saint peter when the man at the temple gate was begging him for money only god knows what would have happened to that man he definitely would have had a bitter heart towards him and said why don't you get up and get a job why are you back right something happened to peter he's not the same guy that he used to be somebody saying what do you have so dear what happened to peter why the change what is the difference of peter in the epistles if you will in in in the gospels rather of matthew and mark uh in his time of denial what is the difference of that peter in that window in the axe version of peter what's the difference i'm gonna tell you how he changed and if you listen to me today this would be the same way that you and i will change this will be the same way that we get better go to acts chapter 1 verse 10 through 12 in the amplified verse what what what caused him to change is that all right what went down what was the real deal you know after all peter must have changed because of some fruity preacher talking about he just wants to share that that's what made him change some hyper grace preacher that told him you don't have to do anything different god loves you that's what made peter change because somebody stroked and pet him and told him that despite his uh uh a wicked thinking and wrong thinking and wicked comes from the word twisted wicker furniture despite all that twisted stuff about you come on you can stay right where you are because after all god loves you news flash god loves everybody in hell his love didn't stop when they went he loves everybody in heaven his love didn't stop when they went and i'm gonna say something real profound i don't think he loves anybody in heaven anymore than he loves anybody in hell and we got bible to back it up because he would that none should perish not one person i think he loved people who went to hell i think those people made a decision to deny him and he couldn't do a thing about it because god put systems in the earth and one of those systems is free will free moral agents is who we are and we have the right to decide if we didn't have the right to decide he would not have said choose ye this day whom you will serve if it was just his choice to all my sovereignty of god people out there that god just chooses for everybody the devil is a liar if it were just his choice come on then none of us would have to make any good choices today but the fact of the matter is is if we don't choose to wash tomorrow morning we will be musty [Music] and if you don't choose to pay your taxes that's what federal prison is for and if you don't oh you're not gonna say man if you don't choose to live right come on that's where sickness and disease comes from i must make a choice to conform my will to his will somebody shout hallelujah in the house of god somebody say no it's on me no really my change is on me the benefits are there i used to consult with with companies that had rich benefits and they bring me in they say we need to work with people so they start taking advantage of all these benefits we're we're matching them at five and six percent if they'll just put in a hundred dollars a paycheck or we're doing dust and stuff we will pay all of their tuition uh in school y'all they had the benefits right but the benefits wasn't a problem the access points were the problem and i am my biggest access point i can be great or not i can grow or not i can change or not y'all not saying amen but i'm right don't come telling me it's god's fault because you lost your wife out of lascivious living yeah had a good wife but you blew it you didn't change and while i'm there husbands can we stop having our wives being ten notches ahead of us and all things spiritual can you finally get on your face come on can you finally seek the lord no more shunammite husbands come on where the wife is going to figure out the problem come on where the wife is going to get the boy healed come on somebody it's time for you to grow stand up and be counted what was peter's difference why did he change what's the difference between the matthew 26 peter and the acts chapter 3 peter i hope you're being blessed this morning because i'm enjoying myself i'm telling you in the amplified the bible says while they were looking intently into the sky this is at jesus ascension how many all know some things change now jesus is not walking with you every day in the flesh some things have changed right i tutored you for three years now you got to go get it come on some things have changed right while they were looking intently in the sky he was going uh two men in white clothing suddenly stood beside them we account those two men to be angels in my opinion and in verse number 11 who said men of galilee here's why you change why are you in the same place that's what pastor gabe is doing this morning why have you not progressed why are you standing here long looking or gazing into the sky get busy because this same jesus who's been taken up from you into heaven he's gonna come in like matter in other words he's coming real soon and pastor why do you believe peter was in that bunch look at verse number 12. i believe peter was a part of that conversation because in number 12 then the disciples then the disciples i believe peter was in that bunch because in the next chapter peter and the rest are at pentecost waiting on the holy ghost they evidently took the advice and got about it then the disciples returned to jerusalem from that mountain amen and they got on their journey and they moved into the things of god y'all no longer require god to give you a 17 sunday series to change one nano thing amen i don't think these two men that gave these guys this joke we're gonna circle back and say hey listen didn't i tell y'all that jesus was coming didn't i tell y'all you better get busy are you in here church what was the difference between peter and matthew 26 and peter in acts chapter 3 i will tell you the key antidote to change is challenge that was the difference my friend my brother my sister in order to change you must be challenged come on all my weight lifters in the room if you just want to keep a certain physique you can lift in reps and you can stay right there if it's not about strength training you can stay right there but in order to bench press more you must be are y'all gonna say something am i talking right you gotta push your body beyond its normal capacity you gotta do more exercises you gotta do something else to strengthen your core muscles if you wanna go up in weight you must be challenged one thing to run a 5k but when you start talking about running a half marathon you are going to have to challenge the capacity of your wind run a little further run into elements eat a little differently you must be challenged and in the things of spiritual growth and change you must be challenged in order to go up in the things of god we've been on this mountain too long come on it's time for somebody in here besides the two or three of us that can spell god to decide that we want to be assets in the kingdom of god amen amen i want to fulfill my mission change i'm going to talk about this mom and my message on the individuality of christianity but let me tell you something first lady will not stand before god with pastor gabe she will give an account we don't stand before the judge together these these folks will not stand together i didn't say they won't know each other in heaven but i said they will not stand it god is going to bring every act read your bible every act into accountability and what was your kingdom impact have you grown are you growing are you changing are you a seasonal christian is that all right what's your impact and if you're not having significant impact today are you getting ready to be impactful don't take this message the wrong way sometimes we go through seasons of development but in your development you're hungry hungry for the things of god or pastor gold told you the story when he preached the faith conference about how he was down at oral roberts university and he had audience with oral robertson and he told them you know i want to be able to operate in the power of god as such he saw oral roberts pray for one of the students who had a flesh burn from a chemistry class or something and he prayed for him and the next day his skin was back and that made pastor google go up before god and say i want to be used like that i want to see people's skin come back you ought to be people in here that say i want to pull somebody out of a wheelchair i want to see somebody who's blind unto my ministry start seeing i want to see somebody else's life improve because of the anointing that's on me what's my point even in his development he was getting ready for impact come on take your seat i remember seasons of my own development before i was a pastor and before i was ready to pastor going years back but i was always studying always seeking always learning always changing because i knew the day was going to come where my number would be called where where my chance my moment was going to come and i was so like the old hymness do not pass me by god when you get ready to use somebody lord please give me a shot when i'm up to bear i want to hit a home run hallelujah and that was peter's difference he changed this ain't the same peter y'all yo we don't even got time to tell you every story this ain't the same peter who didn't have enough faith to catch fish y'all remember that casting that out on the other side y'all he battled faith but you study him in acts no people mess with him they going blind his shadow can heal people increasing the anointing folk y'all peter was so powerful that folk would bring people by the roadside they knew peter was in town because the read your bible the bible says in hopes that his shaft that his shadow would hit them that is not the same peter that was cursing and swearing that man had change and if you don't have folk around you that say girl you you changing because changing is observable i said changing is observable and many people you want your change to be the facade you want it to be the makeup you want to be the nice new outfit no no no no your spirit is speaking much louder than what you put on your inward man is the loudest voice on you i'm teaching better than y'all talking your inward man is screaming loud all the time i'm still messing with pornography i'm still doing this i ain't changed nothing yet i just come to church because i think it's the right thing to do and some people come to church because you need some christianity to balance out your raunchy lifestyle so you at least need a frame of what's right once a week because you know without a shadow of a doubt you're going back in the mess on monday people use this for various reasons some husband comes with his wife to a church like this knowing he's an undercover brother because it helps him put on a facade in front of her meanwhile he got her and bobby what are you here for are you changing come on take your seat i said are you getting any better i had a fiery message i was going to preach to y'all oh it was so powerful and faith and revelation god said no not today no i don't hear no shadrach meshach be to go today no you go right on in on that discipleship and you help people i preach it another day but you help people come on up in their lord why because i'm soon to come i'm cracking the sky i need some assets i need some people to be about the father's business to do what god has said to do are you changing revelation ought to be progressive so what you used to think that people just died because god willed it but then you read the bible and if you read the bible and and the lepers say to jesus will you and jesus said i will why are you still stuck on the the the false ideal that people cannot be healed who determines when a person gets healed will you please show me the father in here that wants to see his child go through pain that's not even the nature of a dead and it's not the nature of the new testament and the miracles of jesus but have you changed and adapted that revelation do you believe in the gospel how come you still don't believe that you can have money jesus became poor that you might become man i wish i had time are you all still with me we'll get to the points another sunday because i'm not going to rush this one everybody say change is atmospheric. and i want to ask you a question what do you look like in your soul what do you look like in your soul will you all please put hebrews 12 and one on the screen so i want to know what what do you look like in your soul very important if i have time i'll get to you know i got five agents of change i i've given you guys this two years ago but i tweaked them a little bit and things of that nature but at the end of the day y'all even if you are born again what's the nature of your soul and then if you're not born again what's the nature of your spirit if you are born again and you're just in arrested development what's the nature of your soul come on people been born again in church 20 years and ain't no further along than to take up the offering in sunday school that's all your promotions what are you carrying in your soul so i want to get a little help for this example i hope it goes the way that i want it to go but look at this the bible says we're for sin also we are compassed about with so great cloud of witnesses that means god has given us plenty of examples read hebrews chapter 11 you'll see those examples rahab the harlot abraham moses all of those kinds of folk he said since you have examples of people who have made it all right then he gave us some real world examples in our generation fred price lester sumrall kenneth hagin since you have all these examples let us do what lay aside every weight and sin which does what how how does it easily easily i don't have time to carry extra weight because extra weight easily throws us off some of you guys drive truck used to drive trucks say coup ca priest is better than me but the trucks had to get weighed in you'd be waited before you can go any further right rob you can't go up the mountain like that you're not meeting regulation it easily slows you down it easily besets you right and evidently weights and sins are different because you can be out of sin and still have weights in your life that god has not authorized things that you're carrying that god didn't tell you to carry some of you still carrying your 27 year old son and he's awake and it's throwing you off of the purpose and plan that god has for your life trying to take 13 more years to convince him that he ought to be following christ you love him where he is but you don't carry that weight learn that from your pastor i don't carry the weight of anybody no friends no family no love folk that i've already talked to are you kidding me i don't care their weight they're grown you're not going to depress me for the next nine and a half years of my life because you want to be a prodigal son you want to be a knucklehead you go out there and be a knucklehead i'll love you from afar hallelujah but i'm going on in the name of the lord i'm not carrying that witness it's not necessarily a sin you love them because they're your family member but they have become a weight and you can't become a dp in kingdom christian church because you're so weighted down with everybody else in your life when you should be following christ you should have left everything to follow him sins and wait is that all right give me a few people see if i can play this out i'm gonna use my sons this morning lay aside every way gabe come on christian can you come here for a second use these guys as more but lay aside everywhere and this won't take long it's an easy example i hope it doesn't knock my mic off but y'all right now you know i can jog easily and the bible says run the race with patience if i need a job if i need to pick up speed i can do all of that because i don't have any weights amen but when i go over here and i pick up a relationship you know i'm still on my way to heaven right but just wait supposed to be at bible study tonight but i just felt like i wanted to go and have lunch and wait a little longer with bobby you know this weight has soaked and i can't go as fast and melvin i'm getting winded i'm getting tired i'm getting tired and the nature of weights and sins is weights become sin because they tire you out and get you out of the kingdom of god and pull you off target and one of the greek translations of the word sin is to miss the mark now you can't meet the mark because you're insane come on take your seat gabe wrap yourself around me real tight i got to take my hands off you you stay right there yeah but i gotta wait and i've gotten used to it i don't even care it anymore it's just a part of them this this goes where i go i'm just i'm still carrying my daughter i'm still it's just a part of me they getting all the shots but i'm you know but i'm wearing their stuff come on i'm wearing their stuff good job gabe and then because you hadn't gotten rid of that weight oh the devil he sends more oh god now i got sins and i got weights oh and i can't walk my arm my left arm is getting tired they have easily i can't even see my way this sin is in they have easily dissected me they have thrown me off are you getting this revelation that's the revelation but when you get the power of god and you're convinced you want to change you start laying aside all right you gotta go you gotta go then nice knowing y'all y'all got to go you last high and then you get free hallelujah you can move like you're supposed to move you can do what you're supposed to be doing is there anybody in here that's ready to change anybody ready to get better come on lay aside every way i'm changing i put a demand on myself things i used to do i don't do it anymore i'm changing come on take a seat and when you change don't feel bad about other people who aren't comfortable with your change no i just don't do that anymore oh hallelujah you might not like who i am today but i'm a fake man today i'm a different woman today [Applause] hallelujah because she's changed somebody said i don't fit in anymore come on stand to your feet i'm done that's enough for today don't fit in anymore i changed that's you don't run with the same people no and can i can i give you revelation even post salvation there are people that i have changed from some people i changed from because they don't believe in faith preaching i'm not having you come preaching my church and you don't believe in faith don't come in here talk about single people can't get married uh-uh i don't hear all that after i don't took 10 years to grow them into faith believing and you you make one comment and they put an endorsement on what you said over what i say oh no you're not preaching here if you don't believe in faith you don't believe people can be healed i just think it's just okay well that's fine you think that i tell you what those faith guys have taught the world though i think over the last 17 months though pound for pound yeah i think we i think we showed the world that we still believe that you can lay hands on the city pastor have you laid hands on anybody are you kidding me count the many i laid my hands on and they got everything back i said they got everything back those who were in faith no no we changing you got to lay that stuff aside i'm not going to be extra long today we don't need it i want to pray for some people right now that are dogmatic about your change here's what i'm telling you first things first if you're not born again you come down the first change is if any man be in because you've been made what righteous you've been made i'm gonna stay with that same text right there mate i'm different even after salvation y'all after salvation and you start growing into things of god you you're not even gonna look at scripture the same way did you know that anybody here ever got a progressive revelation let's pick one easy scripture we quote it for years the lord is my shepherd i shall not want you read that scripture too fast you'll miss every it's loaded loaded pregnant loaded that one phrase that one scripture could have gotten you all the way through kobe the whole thing because the lord is my shepherd he's my god he tells me where to go what to do what not to do i shall not want he is my provision but he didn't say i shall not need it said i shall not you call it braggadocious but i can't think of anything that i want because i got that revelation i'm been past need a long time come on gabe you want come up you can come up i shall not one lord is my shepherd i shall not want anybody in here you want that that change that comes we're going in with god i want to invite you down in order for the soul to change i know that there's some effortless change in the spirit that's what salvation is but y'all you're gonna have to enter into the narrow gate in order for the soul to change though in order for the soul to change there's going to be some there is like the sins and the weights that easily beset you the stuff that blocks your vision that stuff got to go you got to become dogmatic people have gotten on me in the past because of my dogma well but is it working right and dogma ain't me i'm one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet but when it come down to my mission in god i'm not playing no games good to see you hey man i'm not playing any games i'm dogmatic about that come down to the devil attacking one of my loved ones with some sickness and oh i'm dogmatic about that no you got to go right especially if they're not an adult you listening to me are you dogmatic i changed revelation is progressive did y'all get that progressive used to think it was okay to look at it this way no it's not look at it through god's lands you're a new what creature old things pass away you know the people who think that this guy think about just this one doctrine that will mess your christianity slap up if you believe that god is in control of everything you will be highly discouraged and to a place to where you'll even consider quitting because i'm going to tell you something and hear it the right way because i'll never disrespect god but anybody that is doing all of this i don't want to follow did you hear that so god's in control of all the raping and pillaging and killing and brutality and lies and stealing god does that god put diseases he's the one doing all of that well godly if he's doing that on earth why would you go and live with him forever pretty backwards in it doing all that on earth and then you're going to go and live with him forever everything in heaven is amplified you think you can be rich down here you haven't seen wealth till you get up there so if he's like that down here no god's not doing that men are evil men are doing that men are destroying foundations men men are behind men are evil right but just that i use that as an example we're going to pray just that one doctrine can throw you all y'all you will put up with some from the devil that you don't got to put up with because you didn't change in that area and listen to me he will challenge you in the areas by which you're unlearned because he don't fight fear he comes into places where you're weak where were you gonna hit somebody right if i was fighting somebody blind you think i'd tell them where i am ah he can't see me that's not me no he he's weak in sight oh yeah i'll be all over the place throwing stuff he's blind right where does the devil gonna hit you in the areas where you're blinded in the areas where you have not changed how further along i'm asking it again and i don't gotta use kingdom christian church some of you were saved before you got here but how far along are you in your christian development how much have you changed or do you just like going to conferences there are people y'all i call them conference junkies they go to two and three conferences every month i'm talking about in different states you can find them they're gonna go to this conference that conference this guy i bumped into people that i've seen at previous conferences before don't even know them but like ain't that that got it yeah they go to all the conferences but if you follow some of them home and that's what i'm saying to you today when we follow your home first lady said something so powerful in this last seven o'clock class she said what are we doing with all the pastors preaching though that's true what's the point right where's the growth i'm not mad at you i'm just helping you i'm like the two men that stood saying why are you standing here gazing did y'all get that revelation what you doing come on let's go it's time to go time to go right somebody say i must change you know why you need to change in a positive because either way you're changing did you all hear that be not con that's one option but b you only got two options you going one way are you going i say with so much compassion but i remember a guy from college and he used to be in all the christian clubs and on the choir and just in everything dave you'd know him if i called his name he was in everything everything but we all knew we always knew that there was something about him that says he was struggling with homosexuality like you could tell okay but thank god he was in church and trying to be about the right things and all that but we knew though that now but he got some tendencies and proclivities and he not you know what i mean right and how many of y'all know we love homosexuals right i love alcoholics too amen um but i'll never forget this gay pride came to charlotte and we decided to do ministry and go down there and evangelize and share the gospel of jesus with people because for the record you do know god doesn't want you to be gay he doesn't want you to be a homosexual i don't see every head nodding so i just want to say that one more time on this side make sure you all agree all right some of y'all smiling but okay i see you all right i want you to know i see but you do know that god don't want you to be a homosexual after all if if he wanted to be homosexual he would create it two men consummate and he would have made that consummation right okay but the truth is the backside of a man is not made that's just the truth and that's the truth right it wasn't made for that okay so i i don't i'm okay with people i just did the bible really mean that some things i don't have to read the bible even to know is accurate and that's one of them even though the bible is accurate and i read the bible but i can look organically and anatomically at a man and a woman and make the clear [Music] conclusion that they're supposed to come together all right those two come together okay i just like to say that especially when i see a little disagreement clear that stuff up because that's where we are but uh this young man from college knew he was kind of gay and um so we decided we was gonna go down there to the gay pride to do some ministry right i got down here to gay pride and we loving on people we're sharing the gospel i mean y'all know we don't bash people no we trying to get folks saved many you trying to get people to change but they're not saved you got to change it from the inside you get a liar to stop lying when you get them saved you're trying to change a a a dog and you haven't made him an eagle yet if any man be in christ he's a new creation you got a new creator first with christ so we went down there and dave i promise you i got to one booth and i look behind it won't say his name uh i said man what are you doing down here he looked at me and listened to his verb gabe i got tired of fighting do you hear me yo that's all it is do you know why paul said and such were some of you whoever came up with that phrase but by the grace of god do you understand that that's the only reason why you're not something else that's the only reason why right because you have to fight it right young ladies when a man messes over you you know what spirit wants to kick in yeah lesbian spirit they tell you a woman is more compassionate i've had all these experiences y'all and i'm telling you i know we get gregarious and we say no i'm telling you that's in the air it's the spirit of the day you know why you're not an adulteress as long as you're not one it's because you fight it you fight it the great fred price was in his pastor's office and this young lady she was attractive came to see him for some counseling or something like that and um he he got in there he's getting ready to do his session with her and she leaned up on her his table put her elbows there and she looked at him and she and he said how may i help you he said she said let me be honest with you i want you now listen to what brother price said in that moment right attractive young lady all these other pieces but his spirit man overrode his fleshmen he got up ushered the woman out of his office had his secretary there but who was right outside of his office but yeah i'm gonna have to ask you to leave now but y'all why though why did he win that battle because he fought it it's not that that stuff don't come y'all i'm not gonna stop talking like this i'm not gonna let you keep your head in the clouds no satan does come to steal kill and destroy and the only way you're gonna be able to stand against him is you're gonna have to change because he's hitting with his best shots you're gonna have to change i don't know who this is for but my sister you stopped depriving your husband going along with this culture and what everybody else is doing you need to change that husbands and wives y'all come together be together be make time and you know what i'm talking about you're gonna have to change that i'm not preaching no politically correct messages anymore all the politically correct churches are closed they're not having no church today all of them so i don't care you don't have to like what i'm saying while you come over here with me go over there in their parking lot and hawk the horn let everything that have a horn praise the lord go on over there and honk your horns a few times and get your religious fulfillment and become more religious and not change a doggone it thing about
