home welcome to the rock welcome to the house of the lord i trust that you've all had a good week and for those who haven't i pray that as you listen in today that you will get food you will be fed spiritually today there's a scripture that was laid on my heart yesterday that i just want to read and it's psalm 34 and it's from verse 4. i sought the lord and he heard me and he delivered me from all my fears they looked to him and were radiant and their faces were not ashamed the poor man cried out and the lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles the angel of the lord encamps all around those who fear him and delivers them oh taste and see that the lord is good blessed is the man who trests in him oh fear the lord you his saints there is no want to those who fear him the young lions lack and they suffer hunger but those who seek the lord shall not lack any good thing amen those who seek the lord shall not lack any good thing there is nothing that you cannot do when you seek the lord and as in this month we've been talking about education as evangelist sharon said last week it doesn't matter how old you are go out and get an education don't be concerned about where you come from how you can afford it god will provide don't think that you can't do anything this morning i say be bold and have confidence the lord says have no fear for i am with you wherever you go i am with you i am with you don't have any fear if he says that you can do it then you can do it shall we question almighty god shall we question him and say can i do it if he says we can do it if he is laying on our heart to do something this morning then go forth because he says the angels of the lord will encamp around you we have to take hold of them words and we have to grasp what the lord is telling us this morning stop being bolder he's telling you to step into a ministry but you think oh i can't do that yes you can if you have jesus living inside you you can do all things with christ who strengthens you this morning church i want to encourage you this morning you are somebody you are ambassadors for christ you can do it nobody says anything's gonna be easy it's not gonna be easy but when you steady it's not easy it's hard i know that i'm in my final year studying pastor nathan knows that pastor phil knows that and i'm sure there's so many others who are studying right now i never thought that i would be in university at my time of my life at my age but god put me there when i went for the interview there was really intelligent people sat with me going in before me and in my fresh i thought um she's already a lecturer in coventry university but she's going to do the course that i want to do he's already a teacher somewhere god said to me rebecca you are my child and if i send you forth then you shall not fail and you shall go forth and do and out of that group who got in me but you know why i got in because i trusted in god when god said to me go and join go and apply i'm like no i got too much you can do it so i trusted in god i trusted in him and i'm still trusting in him so this morning church i want to encourage you trusting him for all things trusting him for that job trusting him for that promotion trusting him for that mortgage trusting him for that ministry don't be afraid when he's telling you when you're at work or in your community go and speak to that person because i love them and i need you to go and tell them don't be afraid open your mouth because god will feel it when you open it young people don't be afraid don't let any teacher

be in the house of the lord get your bibles and let's get ready to read our scripture for the day which is taken from second corinthians chapter 10 verses three three to six and lilian will be reading for us when you found it then please stand we we do live in the world but we do not fight in the same way that the world fights we fight with weapons that are different from those the world uses our weapons have power from god these weapons can destroy the enemies strong places we just we destroy men arguments and we destroy every proud thing that raises itself against the knowledge of god we capture every thought and we make it give up and obey christ we've got a second scripture proverbs 4 use wisdom and it will take care of you love wisdom and it will keep you safe let me say amen to the reading of god put your hands together for lillian you can do better than that put your hands together for lillian just going to have a video message now from uh minister at new jerusalem which is um mrs morgan i believe so let's have that message now in jesus name nuty youth at the rock good morning bishop and first lady jackson good morning to the leaders to the wider church good morning and greetings from new jerusalem community church where as you guys may or may not know bishop melvin brooks and pastor von brooks are the shepherds of the house my name is taylor morgan and i am one of the senior youth leaders at new jerusalem and this morning i'm here just to give you a quick word of encouragement and it is simple remember who you are now i know in society right now one of the main questions is surrounding identity a lot of people asking a lot of different questions who are you who do you identify as what you identify as and the list goes on and i know that there are a lot of different notions in regards to this topic but i'm here this morning to let you know that your true identity is already settled now in psalms 119 verse 89 it's one of the longest chapters in the bible this is probably why a lot of people have missed the scripture but in psalms 119 verse 89 it says forever o lord is your word settled in the heavens then we go to jeremiah 1 verse 5 and i'm going to read it so i don't miss quote and it says the word oh no it doesn't it says before i formed you in the womb i knew you before you were born i set you apart i appointed you as a prophet to the nations now this tells me that who you are and who god has called you to be was already established already formed before your parents even met each other so going back to the word where it says his word is settled in the heavens already that tells me that you the word that was spoken into existence your identity has already been established and is already settled your identity in christ is not going to change and i know you might be sitting there thinking okay corti sounds good sounds good sounds very christian like and you know all that stuff but how can i remember who i am if i haven't learned who i am if i you know i know we're all on this journey trying to figure out this whole thing called me and you're probably thinking like hey well i can't remember something i haven't learned and that's very true so two plus two is four minus one there's three quick maths how do we all know that big shaq was being very clever when he put that in in his song and it's really simple at some point in time we all sat in a classroom where somebody a teacher who was more knowledgeable in the subject of maths sat and taught us that if you added two to two you got four but if you minus one from four you got three and so when he dropped that in the song we like oh yeah it was brought back to our memory because at one point in time we learned it so that tells me that in order for us to learn who we are in order for us to learn our true identity we need to be sitting in the classroom of life where the teacher is more knowledgeable about who we are than we are and as you guys see in jeremiah 1 verse 5 it says before i formed you in your mother's room i knew you he is god is literally telling us in plain english i am that teacher i am the one who knew you before anybody even knew you before the foundations of the world before everything even existed i knew you you know so we need to be spending time with god in prayer in fasting in the word in worship and letting him download to us the very identity that he literally has wrapped our bodies around and called julian and called bishop jackson and cortea you know he we have to literally sit underneath the teaching of god for him to teach us who we are so i'm leaving before ours record rehearse retain remember one record write those things down guys every single word that has been spoken of your life whether it be through audible voice from god through prophecy through somebody else whatever it may be reading the word and seeing the things that god says that you are and who he's called to be write it down okay two rehearse speak it out even if the life that you're living right now does not align or does not look like it's anywhere near what god is saying um that you are and who god is saying that you are speaking out okay because as you rehearse you will retain and once we retain that information in our mind in the times where our identity is being tested or tried or challenged we will remember who god says we are and who god has called us to be and this will actually raise the standard in our life and dictate where we go who we speak to how we speak how we act how we how we react it will determine every single thing because our identity our identity in christ has been established we've learned it we know it and we remember it in times where it would probably be easy just to be the old person that we you know were before so honestly guys i really pray this is encouraging you guys today spend time with god because he's the only one who knows our true identity he's the only one who knows our identity in full and he's the only one who can teach us exactly who he has caught us to be be blessed much love from new jerusalem and myself bless you let me say nearly just about good morning to everybody good morning hope you are all well praise god and thank god for being in his house today if you're happy to be in god's house tell your neighbor i'm happy to be here if they don't say nothing just give them pass to leave right now amen i want to just give god thanks for everybody who's here this morning and just thank god for all of those who have been going through a challenging time and are back in the house we want to give god thanks for you amen we want to welcome after a long journey of healing and wholeness let me just welcome claudette jones i just want to welcome you thank god for the miracle of your life amen if you guys didn't know claudette suffered a stroke and she wasn't able to uh even speak well but now the voice is back she's walking good amen and i want to give god thanks for you today i know i know i have to point out a few people i want to also give god thanks our sister sharon atkinson is in the house amen she is my secretary my treasurer my big sister just about and if you don't know if you don't know you must realize that sharon went through a heavy hard hit by covid and the doctors were scratching their head and preparing for the final but god said oh no sharon's busy so she's busy you know sharon's busy all the time and god has just restored her so she's in the house to celebrate and also her birthday we're going to be talking to you about that a little bit later on and i just want to give god thanks for you today amen amen did another wedding yesterday but i'm also giving out thanks for one that's celebrating nine years um marceline and mr coke is here celebrating nine years of marriage amen praise god they just start nine years you just start amen amen and we want to give god thanks for them amen they're clocking up the years and each one of us are clocking up the years we give god thanks and god is working a miracle amongst us amen and if i haven't mentioned you i will mention you sooner than later amen we want to share also a time of blessing but before even we also share a time of blessing i want to give god thanks and just say tyrone welcome into the house this morning tyrone and his family i'm only welcoming you because you're peppered pretty patel online amen and i really love you for that i'm going to give you an offering before you leave from here do it again praise god so we thank you and we want to tell you

to give god thanks for chris and sandra they are fresh married fresh fresh fresh fresh like flowers i want to ask chris to stand and sandra to stand and i want to give god thanks for them and their family fresh their certificate is not even dry wow praise god amen so i want to give god thanks for them today you know why i'm giving god thanks for you because life is valuable people are valuable amen life is valuable and people are valuable and so we give god thanks today we want to welcome now as we give god thanks and dedicate today let's welcome charlene with our dedication party to come charlie don't forget to bring the baby and so we have something to dedicate amen so we welcome charlene please welcome charlene to come and your god parents to come with you please amen thank god for each and every one of you amen i want to thank god for you at this time and we welcome you into god's house and we celebrate with you um your beautiful son that you have there i better do this quick because he looks like he's hurting your arm that's what happens when you feed children proper dumpling and soup and and no risks it is in the name of the lord jesus that we welcome you today the bible reminds us that jesus always plays children not only at the center of his ministry but as he moved into the future and also god reminds us of our generations that should be brought before him the bible says except the lord build the house they labor in vain that build it and also that children are the heritage of a blessed man today we want to remind you that your children are the blessing from god and they are the gifts of god to train to develop and to bring up before the lord and when you bring up your children before the lord you are flowing in the tradition of jesus christ as he was brought to the temple to be blessed also the scripture says this they brought children for jesus to bless them the disciples rebuked the parents but when jesus saw it it was indignant and said to them let the children come to me and do not stop them for the kingdom of god belongs to such as these truly i tell you unless you accept the kingdom of god as a little child you will never enter in and he put his arms around them and he laid his hands upon them and he blessed them amen and so firstly we give god thanks for the family in our prayers today let's come in thanksgiving to god for a moment bow your heads with me as we pray dear god and loving father you are the creator of things you're the giver of life and strength and health and wisdom so we come before you joyfully thanking you for the gift of new life in children that we have for the safe birth and father for the protection of the mother and the father we thank you god and we place everything back in your hands we thank you for all that you've given in this new life for the potential for the hope for the promise that you have awakened for the care that the families have surrounded them with father god we thank you for that today accept our thanks and praise in jesus name amen god parents you have a challenge before you as surrogate parents as parents that have been chosen by this parent today as god parents you must set a good example a faithful example you must give time energy and patience as you are exercising now and you must also make sure that you are always a part of your god child's life so always remember that amen and they're showing some super patience right now i'm going to give you a break in a minute to go out the back and stern talking stern talking as they used to say charlene you are not on your own in this journey you have god with you and you have the wisdom that god has placed in you you also have your family and your god parents you have your church family as well to get the support the guidance and the strength that you need for you especially as a mom you need to remember that there will be challenging times but god will give you not only the energy but the wisdom and the strength when you touch and believe in him amen so remember that today let's take our vows together and then for these you say we do amen okay i was just seeing the paparazzi therefore it was something else so first of all i asked you do you thank god for the gift of your child and do you accept the joys and duties of parenthood promising to give love and care to your child do you promise to bring up your child within the christian community where we may share our faith with you and that you may allow your faith to grow to build your family family and friends and loved ones it takes a village to grow up children we are that village that god has placed on the earth so i ask you this question today and if you agree you say in the name of the lord jesus christ we do do you promise to offer to this family your love and your care join with them in their parenting task and share your christian faith with this family amen wow i told him don't follow nobody today don't set no examples

morning church are we well yeah you look well you look all right okay so in this week we've heard lots about the economy finances inflation's three percent prices are going up then you've got this government who's given was it 20 pounds to the poorest people during coven and they want to take it back and then you hear that christmas is under attack because potentially there's going to be a shortage of food so you just hear all of these things about finances and and i think it's it's it's supposed to worry us it's supposed to worry us us but it's not because you know what what does worry do gives you pressure worry does nothing about anything apart from give you blood pressure and what does the bible say so in matthew 6 25 he says therefore i say to you do not worry about your life what you will eat or what you will drink know about your life more than food is not your life more than food and the body more than clothing look at the birds of the air for they neither so nor reap neither gather nor in barns yet your heavenly father feeds them are you not more valuable than they so we do not worry about our finances we pray about our finances we give thanks for our finances so as we get our purses our wallets we give thanks we are blessing our lord with a little bit of what he has blessed us so we'll pray so heavenly father we thank you for another day for your blessings abundance to each and every one of us for our finances that you provide lord jesus and as we go another week lord jesus we ask for that continual blessing to be upon us and we give you the highest praise for you are our lord and god in jesus name we pray amen so it's offering time now we're going to continue the theme and glorifying god and letting him know that he deserves all the glory and

can heal you know bishop wasn't in the hospital with me to lay hands on me so who had to do to do it myself i have to know the word for myself so come to those bible studies on the wednesday you need to know the word you have to know for yourself you have to preach to yourself and you have to allow god to work through you i had to do all of that and i know that god is real for those who doubt i am standing here to tell you that god is real you just just believe him and watch the miracles in your life amen thank you so much [Music] amen so we have some flowers for you i hope that you are not allergic to flowers amen amen amen come on give a big round of applause this month is a big challenge it's also sister ratz's birthday as well sister ratzy congratulations hey ben and if you have your birthday in this month well done it isn't may but god bless you you know may is my birthday praise god amen i want to give god thanks for the team so far and as we share a word together i want you to just bow your heads for a moment and then i want you to open your bibles with me to the book of hosea and we want to look at hosea and also just the scriptures that we have heard from before as well hallelujah father god enlighten us through your word allow your peace to resonate in our soul and allow your wisdom to flow through our veins so we may be people of wisdom knowledge and understanding and that wisdom must be rooted in jesus christ and we ask this in jesus name amen and amen let's give god praise amen i want to thank god for last week our powerhouse our dear sister sharon miller who shared the word with us wasn't she awesome amen wasn't she awesome amen we've been having some awesome ministries this week and i trust that god would help you and i take a journey of ministry today you know that um i wanted to embark on a series called knowledge is power and health knowledge is power and health and i'm hoping that god would help us together just discover a few things about knowledge and power and health and how to put those things together amen how to put those things together a bible is so clear and reminds us that the the the knowledge of god is the beginning of all wisdom amen tell somebody next to your wisdom is in god wisdom is in god and so hosea reminds us that the big challenge was here that in hosea chapter 4 and verse 1 through the 6 is a conversation that god has with israel and perhaps god is having that conversation with us and also it reminds us in timothy to study to show ourselves approved a workman that need not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth amen and so but in hosea we'll focus on hosea for a moment and then we're going to lean into knowing god knowing god in jesus christ amen you know jesus said to the pharisees when they attacked him says if you knew god you wouldn't speak like this if you knew god for yourself you wouldn't speak like this but because you have false knowledge you don't know me and you don't know god dr king says this he says science investigates when we look at two things science and knowledge of science and religion dr king says this and this is where he coins sort of the phrase where knowledge is power he says this science investigates religion science investigates everything around it but religion interprets science gives man knowledge which is power religion gives man wisdom which is control science deals mainly with facts religion deals mainly with values dr martin luther king says this the two are not rivals so we need knowledge and we need religion or wisdom to come together in our lives amen and when you know something about your god and know something about yourself your wisdom lifts and nobody can take you down the garden path somebody say amen but in hosea we find that god has a contention with israel and so there is a lesson for us in the midst of this story so god finalizes that comment and he says to them this is the core coming that he makes in chapter four my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge and because you have rejected knowledge i will reject you from serving as my priest since you have forgotten the law of your god i will also forget your sons amen when we think about knowledge there is a famous saying that knowledge is power 18th century sorry i think it's the 17th century um in the 17th century francis bacon i wrote this down as as i thought about it in the 17th century that's when he died but he was born in the 16th century and he coined the phrase as a philosopher knowledge is power knowledge is power malcolm reminds us that the future belongs to those who prepare for it and so we are challenged here now that knowledge is going to be something that we have to chase after not only do we have to chase after it we have to fasten it in something solid and when you fasten it in god you are fastened into the root of knowledge somebody say amen i'm coming somewhere with you and so if god is the root of knowledge then god is all knowledgeable and that's why he is omniscient so i want you to write that word down somewhere say it quick i have to say it quick in case my false teeth come out knowledge that god has is all-encompassing it has no gaps it has no missing areas many of us have knowledge of a subject but other subjects we have no knowledge of some of us know something's well and we know other things just a little bit and so we don't have all knowledge at our fingertips that's why most of you are on google for most things so even when things go wrong in the house you start googling my child has a temperature let me google it they have dengue fever lord god we google everything today because google is a search that gets you the knowledge when we were doing our thesis when i was doing my thesis it just tell you how old i am i had to sit in birmingham library and book by book build my thesis up chapter by chapter read the book if i want to find the knowledge there was no google the google was your hand and your eyes so i spent days upon days in the library trying to put my thesis together and so you and i need to understand this when you are searching for something solid you're gonna have to make a commitment that goes beyond even the energy that you have now you're gonna have to invest in hard work and discipline and therefore when i speak about knowledge and power i put it i base it in understanding who god is first don't get it twisted i don't put it in knowledge from books i don't put it in scientific knowledge i say that if science comes from god which is omniscient all science all knowledge is god then i seek god first and everything else will flow into my being once i understand the creator who creates who speaks who breathes who makes me and ordains me to be who i am i will start understanding myself oh hallelujah somebody give god praise right now so when i talk about knowledge power and health i talk about allowing god to pour his wisdom inside of you so that when you get to a spot of ignorance the holy spirit in god will help you through your ignorance or somebody with me today because ignorance is a killer you know when you just don't know you don't know when i used to speed a lot before i was saved last week when the police stopped me they used to ask me do you know what speed you're going and i look at them like i'm stupid no mr jackson you were going 79 miles an hour i was like really like i don't know but i know some stuff in life you just don't know amen when your teenagers are talking i don't know what they're talking about the language is different the instagram i don't know what it's about i just try and post a picture every now and then sometimes things around you are a mystery to you but you see god god does not want to be a mystery to you he wants you to know him so i want to put a few things together as i'm preparing and doing the foundation of this to say first thing is first if you want knowledge to be your base if you want to be a wise person and not foolish first of all you've got to start knowing god for yourself the fear of god is the beginning of all wisdom and i add to that all knowledge all soundness of thinking it begins in god it said the fool are said and his heart there is no god your prime minister said it as well why is he saying this because he knows the fact is that men have limited knowledge but god's knowledge is unlimited men struggle when it comes to crisis but god knows crisis before it begins and before it ends god knows every crisis so i want you to lean on somebody who knows more than what's on whatsapp i want you to lean on somebody who knows more than what is rumored in the papers i want you to lean upon god almighty i want you to trust in him because this season knowledge looks like he's coming fast and furious but when you look at the base of a lot of things they are wrapped in people's mind new shia of understanding if somebody reads one fact of science they make the longest message and vlog about it one little fact and then they pass it on to somebody else and by the time you look around your phone is full of everybody's knowledge but you're gonna ask yourself what is the end product of what i'm listening to what are they saying to me have they pointed me towards god is it making me more confident is it making me make good decisions if it's just making you frightened then it's the plan of the enemy but when god's plan comes in god's plan makes you confident god's plan makes you say no weapon formed against me shall prosper god's plan tells you that jesus is lord of all god's plan tells you that the earth is the lord's and the fullness thereof it's not china's it's not england's it's not america's it's not whatever government there is god is the government if you agree say amen so our challenge here today is to get an understanding that if you trust god oh hallelujah your wisdom will grow grow and grow one thing is clear that today there are so many ideas so many theories that you read that you wonder if you're living in a world that has any sense so many theories because knowledge is something that can kill you or heal you jesus reminded us that when the uh the pharisees brought knowledge they brought rules and regulations but jesus reminds us to say if you know god if you know me then the truth will set you free somebody give god praise oh i'm talking to somebody today because you are in your house in fear but i want to tell you that the holy spirit is going to lose you today somebody give god praise i'm gonna make you dance it's gonna make you rejoice because when you know god for yourself every weapon of ignorance will will will not prosper against you every weapon of destruction that makes you stop sleeping god will silence it because god says when you walk through the valley of the shadow of death in david you will fear no evil he is your rod and your staff he comforts you yea though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death you will fear no evil one shall chase a thousand and two shall put ten thousand to flights why does god say that to you because he knew that there would be a season just like in hosea there would be a season where people will reject the knowledge of god oh hallelujah somebody lift their hand and giving praise right now but nudge their neighbor who's sleeping they might have gone to a wedding and danced too much yesterday pray for them that wasn't me i finished my dancing about 7 30. but listen i always say this i want to make this point to you because this is a subject matter that i've been trying to open up in my own understanding i wanted to know the knowledge i wanted to know how how does knowledge help you knowledge helps you have certain clear apprehension knowledge is bringing the truth into you knowledge is bringing cognition that means you understand knowledge is bringing an actual experience of transformation when you start knowing god knowledge is bringing learning knowledge is bringing education knowledge is bringing science oh hallelujah knowledge is enlightenment education intelligence scholarship instruction it is tuition and most of all it is wisdom it is the ability to learn it is the ability to comprehend it is the ability to have consciousness beyond what you see with your eye it is the ability to discern and to grasp what is before you and what is beyond what is before you it is the ability to judge rightly and have recognition of understanding and as raster would say you must overstand so if you're too english you don't understand what that means it means you go to another level you need to sit down and speak to some night you've been given them you know when they go up to heaven tell you you got to overstand all the sudden means you don't just comprehend what is before you you overstand you go to the next level of understanding it today we have so many forces that are trying to tell you to be frightened they are taking authority over your mind and over your thinking they are taking authority over your emotions so that your emotions are upside down they are taking authority over your nerves so that every time you go to the doctor you are telling them that i'm nervous i'm worried but i'm telling you today i may have problems that i need to bring to the doctor like my corn contour and my hair not growing but i'm not gonna tell the doctor that i'm so nervous that i can't think about life i'll tell him listen i have an anchor that keeps my soul that anchor is jesus christ and uh yes he may not give me a cure for baldness but i'll give him a cure for healing and for deliverance in his life i'll give him a cure for anxiety that cure is jesus christ somebody give god praise what am i actually saying to you i'm saying to you that when you have knowledge of your self as uh marcus garvey said he says a people who don't know their past i'm like trees without roots when you see a tree without roots any storm can blow it down it may be there looking good solid i remember seeing a tree beside the roadside and it looked good and solid on the outside and the storm came and the tree came down and you realized that its roots were shallow and then inside the tree was rotten a tree without roots and so a people without knowledge of themselves knowledge of their god i was like that tree without roots so marcus garvey said you got to know who you are where you come from why god puts you on the earth you gotta know his ordained purpose for you because when you know god's ordained purpose for you you will say whatever comes my way god will keep me is god gonna keep you yes he is tell your neighbor god will keep you oh hallelujah turn to your other neighbor and say god will keep you and so it may look hard oh somebody give god praise right now who's going through a hard time it may look hard but god will carry you through it may look challenging but god will carry you through it may look like a war zone but in the middle of the war my god will protect you and keep you from falling when daniel was put into a compromising situation they thought daniel is going to burn daniel is going to be eaten by the lions daniel is going to be uh really destroyed by his circumstance but the the wisdom of daniel told him i know my god so uh in the midst of a crisis the bible says that daniel prayed but the answers didn't come straight away i told you that last week the answers didn't come straight away but the bible says that daniel just knew his god and the bible says those who know their god will do exploits somebody clap their hands and give god praise right now here a little bit further before i have to close today i want to tell you that this is the challenge that we have before god this is the challenge we have to ask ourselves this question today why do we have no knowledge because without knowledge becomes become powerless without knowledge we become worried we become fearful without knowledge we become a people that are moved about by every wind of doctrine oh hallelujah and so hosea the message from mosaic was this god said you have no knowledge that means you don't know me and we said what what were the people them lacking that did not know him they did not know the truth can you write that down somewhere when they lacked knowledge of god they did not know the truth what you mean the truth you ever been around somebody and they lie so much that you don't even know if they're lying or telling the truth anymore you ever been around somebody and they've got that disease called liard sorry i'm going caribbean on you it means that they are worse than a liar when you say a caribbean liard it means that they have now got a phd in lying so you know because some people lie but others are liars so when they're lying please write it down and when you go to school children remind your teacher that in the caribbean if you're a liar you have done a phd in lying that means say your dream lie your wake up lying you have amnesia and you're still alive those kind of people you don't even know when they're born what age they are what even exactly is their name so the problem that we've got is that this construct is when you have no knowledge you sit in lies you deceive yourself oh my god and that is when the lack of truth is in you i never lie to myself except when i'm putting on suits that i like i pretend i pretend please pray for me come on somebody get some oil nathan quick i pretend that the suits fits me as i get into my car and driving i realize i have fooled myself this suit does not fit this waistcoat is going to kill me [Music] sometimes i just lift the mirror up and pretend i haven't got a one pack i imagine that i've got a six pack and that the world is before me that's why i got marks and spencer's fine big jumper sometimes you can kid yourself don't look at yourself now don't don't don't don't ask yourself no questions sometimes you can fool yourself into believing alive from your life but in the name of jesus come on help me right now some lies were told about you you were told that you were ignorant and foolish you were told that you couldn't make it you were told that you were too stupid to do anything but the devil is a complete liar the truth is that you are mighty to the pulling down of strongholds that you are god's chosen vessel that no weapon formed against you shall prosper you are beautiful you are fearfully and wonderfully made [Music] [Applause] [Music] sometimes when people don't have the truth they tell a lie about you dr king says no lie can last forever truth crush to earth will rise again when you have no knowledge you have no truth but jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free oh hallelujah when the enemy has told you lies all your life told you that you can't do it told you that you got dyslexia you can't write a book told you that your english wasn't good you can't write a book listen to me i'm on the finishing line of this book you know in class when i finished that english exam i just went past like a blur and they sent a qualification back and i think it was somewhere down in the alphabet you know when it goes down in the alphabet you know when they when they give you the score and you have to bring it home to your parents i was like okay right what is my will my last will and testimony i leave my trainers to my brother and my jacket to my bigger brother because i was ready to write my will out when i came home and showed and they and showed my parents and it was deep down in the alphabet you know when your qualifications it don't start at the top of the alphabet not even the first four it just keep going down i had to ask myself the question i looked in the mirror and i was like what the hell were you doing in school you know when you have to have a talk with yourself your scores are so low like something happened like you just wrote your name and you even got your own name wrong i walked out of the education system thinking i got nothing to offer educationally then god spoke to me god said you're going bible school and you will rise and you will find yourself in bible school my first uh assignments uh they were pushing up to the top two a b a b a b i was like are they lying i ain't got no money to be paying anybody came back dr ryan said something has happened to you a b a a a they kept moving up to a a one assignment he said i'm moving it person a so i gotta try and give you a plus or something today would be a star i can't move him because i knew that god was for me and if god is for you lord have mercy somebody wake up if god is for you who can be against you oh god stop listening to the lie lies from the devil from hell right now we gotta rise we a right we got to stretch ourselves you got to do your degree you got to step out of the ordinary [Music] lord have mercy [Music] somebody giving praise right now i feel god moving in somebody right now when you know yourself when you know the god who made you you start to reinterpret your life oh hallelujah some of you here are still in trauma for how you went through your school life some of you are still in trauma for what people said about you you're still in trauma oh hallelujah but you need to tell the devil god made me who i am i am fearfully and wonderfully made i know that i know that oh my god it reminds me of when we used to be at school and we and we and we had no classes back then we had no classes we didn't have naya bingi we never had no african centers to tell us who we were and sometimes we would watch things in class and if you're up the north you watch things and it's it's hard sometimes and they would sometimes show us pictures of of african villages and everybody would look at you in the class look at you as if you say that's you that's you that's you that's you that's you and you had no idea you had no idea that africa is the birthplace of civilization the africa is the birthplace of science all knowledge is in africa you had no idea you sat there feeling ashamed of yourself thinking where am i from who am i and all people could tell you is about a slave ship but i've got news for you god made every people and every people is made in the image of god and whatever color you are whatever ethnicity you are no race is higher than the other each group of people has been given the wisdom of god to work out their salvation so they are nothing to be ashamed of because god's knowledge steps you past shame and brings you into honor respect and love for everybody oh hallelujah that's what the racist doesn't want you to know they don't want you to know that god made everybody and that everybody is equal the racist doesn't want you to know that we can work together that we can stand together that we can have mixed marriages and mixed families we can be the fearful and wonderful people that god has made yes we can but what happens this lack of truth destroys our communities but the blood of jesus against it somebody give god praise right now final thing to tell you before we go today is that we lack mercy what am i talking about mercy when i talk to you about mercy this is what hosea said he said because you don't know god you lack mercy mercy says this my neighbor is not exactly like me they don't look like me they don't talk like me but it doesn't make them my enemy when they are going through something i know and i can feel what they're going through because they're human somebody's a human we're all human when you have god's mercy god's mercy says to you there i go on my road but by the grace of god if it had not been for god on my side i might be in the same position as this person so therefore i will use god's grace to step out of my ignorance and step into their circumstance this is what god does with you when god's mercy endures forever he steps out of his glory and steps in to your humanity and he finds out where you are at isn't that wonderful that god in all his glory when you compare the heavens and you compare the earth and you look at the stars and the skies and you realize nothing can squeeze god into it his vast is expansive but then god steps out of his glory into the person called jesus christ and jesus comes along on your road and says i understand what you are going through for he's touched by you he's touched by your feelings of hurt yes brethren when you know jehovah god you have power to change your destiny when you change your destiny in god oh hallelujah that is health so where am i going with this i want to explore with you how do we build our knowledge of god the first base of building your knowledge with god is firstly accept jesus christ into your life as your lord and savior is the only way that god has prescribed and he will walk with you on your journey oh hallelujah and you may say well god how you gonna do it that's just what god says he will do he says i will be with you always even until the end listen i'm gonna close right now i've got a little bit more to share with you but i will share that in another day but hear what i'm saying to you if you lack wisdom the bible says pray and god will give you it if you lack confidence pray and god will give you it if your faith is dropped empty god says i will give you it i will give you it oh hallelujah is somebody here today can you buy your heads with me as we're about to pray we're about to get out of here soon but before we do that if you need god in your life you lack that strength of god you lack that presence of god in your life you've been drifting but god said i don't want you to drift anymore i don't want you to drift anymore i want you to now walk with figure and authority and direction direction we're going to be praying for you and if you need us to pray for you today i want you to come and stand with us at the front we want to pray with you if you feel god speaking to you to say i need to change direction i need god to steer me in the right direction if that's you if that's you come come come and stand with me come and stand with this brother who was going wrong and god put him right that's what you're going through there's somebody here who needs god in their life to give them faith hope and direction i want you to come
