his integrity I thank God for the life of brother Devon Franklin come on don't hate celebrate [Applause] and I heard him a week ago on the Breakfast Club and I said Lord he got to get the new birth

good for amen amen amen can we just take 30 seconds that was cool for me but I didn't wake you up this morning I didn't start you on your way why don't you get praise where praise is really due amen amen come on come on come on you can do better than that it wasn't your iPhone or your Android they woke you up it was his mercy and grace why don't you give him thanks a man a man a man you may have your seat it is so exciting to be here I've been friends with your pastor for a long time and it's amazing what God is doing in the his life and in life of new birth it is exciting to be here this morning to talk to you briefly about my new book the truth about men what men and women need to know people said it's dangerous to write a book about men because as men we don't like to look in the mirror I said well clearly you don't know the type of men that we already are because even though the world wants to throw us out as men I'm here to tell you as men we can do our work why because every single man has love in them turns here neighbors say you got loving you and what I need you to know why it's so important I wrote this book because as men we always aren't taught how to love sometimes because we don't like who looks back at us in the mirror and we were raised we were not raised with an understanding of how to love who we really are and really what God has called us to do so when I begin to write this book the enemy was busy saying do not write a book about what men need to do better because no man is going to read it write a book about what women have to do and I said enemy you are not going to talk to me about this why because I believe that women are already doing their work if I can say it but we as men got to join the ladies and start doing our work is it okay for me to speak the truth this morning in nubert we can be men of commitment we can be men of integrity we can be men of fidelity but we've got to put love in control why is it sometimes hard for us to do what we call been called to do and hang on and the way we've been called to hang on and I'll tell you why because every man's troubles between two things love and lust come on can we say it and when these two things war with one another as men sometimes we feel helpless and hopeless but I'm here to tell you the truth will set us free and we can win the to read if we put love over lust what does that mean it means we put selflessness over selfishness and I wrote this book not just for men but also to give women information because women I got to tell you something I love you I know you're safe synched if I feel with the Holy Ghost but mostly you don't understand us as men come on my brother can I get an amen in the house I wrote this book so you can get more understanding and I also wrote this book so that we as men can have a manual how to do our work you know what's so fascinating we live in a world in a culture that tells men don't commit that tells men the more women you have the better that tells men oh you know if you get into a commitment or a marriage that's the wrong thing but can we go back to the word for a moment can I take you back to the word before I take my seat when you go back to Genesis it says that God created Adam from the dust of the earth and he breathes and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul now what's interesting is that as Adam had free reign of the Garden of Eden he was naming all the animals but guess what God said it's not good for man to be alone okay I need you to follow me on my Bible scholars need you to follow me now watch this he took a rib from Adam and what happened he went and created Eve now what's fascinating is the world wants to tell us as men we are just fine without a woman and in the world wants to tell women that you are not whole without a man but let's go back to the divine design when Eve was was created she did not come into the earth asking where is Adam check your text there's no dialogue that says where is Adam as a matter of fact Adam when Eve was created Adam said wait a minute something is missing I'm not whole when he saw Eve he said now this is bone of my bone flesh of my flesh for this reason will a man leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife it doesn't say this is why the what the wife will leave her mother and father why is it so important because as men our strength is found in committing boys play men commit I don't know who I'm talking to this morning but when we commit to the woman we love with tell her we're gonna put your needs above our knees there is nothing we cannot do as the men that God has called us to be and I want every single single woman to know in the house if anybody keeps being on your case about why you're single you tell them I'm single cuz I'm whole I'm not right for everybody and everybody is not right for me there is nothing wrong with me I'm right where God needs me to be who am I talking to in the house this morning you are whole and and I got I got one more truth to bring and then I'm gonna take my seat I'm not gonna overstay my welcome any single man in the house mastery I talk about mastery mastery that means the practice of love if you if you're single and you're dating if you are not if you don't mean her any good let her go don't play with her can I say that if you don't mean her any good let her go do not play with her she is not an object she is God's daughter I talked about this in the book I'm sorry I don't mean to mess up your Sunday afternoon date but I need you to get set free by the truth that you can be faithful the more women the better the more money not the better but when we love God and we serve Him with all our mind we can become the men we were called to be and the last thing I'm gonna say is this if you are married and you you are a man and you you you sometimes struggle I need you to know that there is hope we have to start creating a safe space where we can talk with one another without fear of judgment as a man you've got to have somebody else you can talk to and tell them what's really going on because the enemy wants to get victory when we are silent anything we suppress we empower to destroy us why doesn't let us begin to run rampant because we as men do not talk but today on this day I want to bring the silent moratorium to an end as men we start talking about what's on our heart expressing that we don't always have it together expressing that we need God's help who am I talking to right now and before I leave I read this pledge for the men that are standing if you choose to continue to stand as I read this play if you are a man and you commit to this pledge I ask you to stand this is the Masters pledge the pledge of love I pledge not to blame women for my actions women are never at fault when I lose control nothing a woman wear says drinks or does is it is an excuse for improper touching remarks or sexual behavior ever I pledge to never harass a woman period I pledge to stop looking the other way if I witness a friend or colleague harassing a woman I pledge to stop making excuses for times when I behave badly I pledge to confess my sins apologize to whom I have offended and live every day to make it right I pledge to take a woman's no for an answer no means no period it doesn't mean maybe it doesn't mean try harder I pledge to stop acting like my manhood is an entitlement it's not I pledge to change my routine if there's any part of my routine that makes me vulnerable to being less than I can be I change it and this is the last part of the Masters pledge I pledge to take accountability for who I am and what I do what I will be I am now be coming if you have stood during this pledge you have committed to put love over lust and you will win [Applause] come on would you give it up for Devon Franklin [Music] [Applause] [Music] let's the Lord you may be seated in the presence of the Lord

impact and we are heard about one of our sister institutions at Bennett College that found themselves in dire straits and I felt it was our responsibility to step up to the plate and I want you to

people are flanked behind me they're prepared to sing in just one moment how about I want you to arm yourself with your capacity to be able to tithe and to give up on this Sunday morning how would you write where it is that you are wherever it is that you hold your resources I ask that you'll please it ready yourself I want you to think of all the times that you were running behind and God made it work out anybody in the room have first-hand testimony of God paying something you know you didn't have the money for anybody ever got shocked that the card actually went through that to check actually cleared hallelujah some of you all can shout because the bill was paid others of us shout because we got an extension amen but but we're thankful under God that through it all we've learned to trust in him I want you to get a seed in your hand because that you're mindful that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us because of what it is that you were able to give and how it is that you sold and shared I and lent you of your resources a whole body of young women are moving forward to assume positions of leadership and we want to replicate that model again and again and again because of your graciousness just two weeks ago we were able to feed 5,000 people all over the city of Atlanta on Super Bowl weekend y'all not excited about it because of that we ought to be giving God glory and praise and thanksgiving I tell you you can't beat God's giving no matter how hard you try our God is a faithful God we are tithing church' because we are type in church we give 10% of our income back to God pastor why do you do that before you argue can I remind you that MasterCard requires 17% visa wants 19% an American Express won all their money amen but for over two thousand years God has not adjusted his interest rate from Malachi chapter 3 even unto this hour still 10% God loves what kind to give her what kind to give her amen I'm glad to give simply because I got something to give how many of you will remember when you didn't have anything at all but you know that God will supply all of your needs according to his riches and glory look at Bennett's testimony they needed five million how big but because of the graciousness of givers they were able to amass 9 million how many of you know God will always give you more than what you asked for more than what

friends who are worshiping with us are in our virtual sanctuary I want you to get a seed in your hand as close to $90 as you possibly can if you're giving electronically you can give through a push

above your head please dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays said there's a crown up of your head we got to grow tall enough to where we're not the size of our destiny yet not the size of our purpose yet but through the strength of God

everybody hallelujah why don't you put your hands together again for the youth come on that's our children yes God yes God as we prepare our hearts and our minds for the word of the Lord to receive the word of the Lord I want to share some with you with really quick the word worship comes from the Old English word worship so when you worship the Lord you are expressing how much he's worth to you you are expressing his value to you and what is the motivation a lot of times we are trained on the fact that if we give something we want something in return but when it comes to worship we worship God because he's worth it that's the motivation that's our motivation so I don't want to tell you what to do in this moment because I believe that everyone's worship is different but what I do want you to do is worship with me I invite you to whatever it is that you want to do if you want to stand up if you want to lay out on the floor but whatever it is that you want to do to get into the presence of the Lord before we receive the work I invite you to do it now come on let's do it now worshipers we magnify your name give you all of the glory and the honor there's nobody like you you're so worthy to be praised you're worthy to be magnified come on you don't have to be nervous nobody's judging you in this moment but we're just giving ourselves away to God come on yes Lord that's it

thankful for the president of been a college sharing with us on this day help me thank God for my brother Devon Franklin sharing thank God for his amazing wife Meghan good who's with us today thank

getting saved today Genesis 37 verses 17 through 19 warrants our attention this morning watch what it says they moved on from here the man answered I heard them say let's go to Dothan so Joseph went after his brothers and found them near Dothan but they saw him in the distance and before he reached them they plotted to kill him here comes the dreamer they said to each other you may be seated Genesis 37 verse 18 that they saw him in the distance and before he reached them they plotted to kill him Iona preached for a little while today using as a subject don't act like you don't see me don't act like you don't see me would you look at the person beside you and tell them don't even try it [Applause] you don't see me it's amazing that 10 years ago James Cameron crashed cinematic expectations with a sci-fi sensation known as avatar the setting is a planet called Pandora where dear beings who appear primitive contrary are highly evolved the environment is beyond poisonous so hybrid species must link up with human minds in order to operate at a level of agility while the concept is futuristic the principles portrayed relate to the present tense when the Navi people pass each other the greeting is not hello or wassup on that planet when they pass each other the greeting is ICU the intention is to express that when I see you I recognize your existence in an expanded sense I see the core in the depth of who you are when they say I see you they're saying I see your love I see your feelings I see your value I see your spirit I see your importance whoever seated beside you this morning would you just look at him and tell them I see you for the last couple of years urban youth have been echoing in the streets black lives matter because with the absence of justice it dismisses our legitimate humanity liberals who rally against black lives matter and chime back all lives matter have missed the point that at some place you have to see us see our pain see our predicament see our complexities your mother used to say in an agonizing tone look at me when I'm talking to you because what she was projecting is to ignore me is to dishonor me in Scripture we see a student who bears the name of Elijah who rustled up the nerve to ask his mentor give me a double portion Elijah gave him a provisional approval and said I'll give it to you under the condition that you see me when I ascend therefore the key to the release of the double portion was predicated on how you see me it's regrettable how many family members are going to miss their portion because they refuse to see who you actually are it's understandable if being overlooked or accidental but it's blatant willful neglect which means I am intending to ignore you just earlier this week a couple in Texas was arrested for the neglect of their four adolescent children authorities found bills for children malnourished and reeking of urine and feces with two of them sleeping in dog kennels presently the parents are in the penitentiary because they had to have seen their offspring hungry and didn't feed them the head have seen them dirty and refused to change them the reason why it is that we've assembled on this Sunday morning is because we take delight in knowing his eye is on the sparrow and I know he's watching over me we heard in our rearing that he sits high and he looks low all of us have come to that combustible moment while sitting in the waiting room and seeing people go in the back that finally you were waiting to hear the nurse make the announcement the doctor will see you now and I came to tell somebody who's in this sacred space called sanctuary somebody who's leering in through our virtual sanctuary that the doctor will see you now now your season of waiting in the waiting room has come to an end and finally what it is that you have been anticipating is about to be addressed clinicians have chronicled from 30 years of research that the neglect of children can leave damaging effects that linger even into adulthood the children who have been neglected can suffer from brain damage chronic low self-esteem dissociative disorder delayed intellectual development and reduced cognitive functioning behaviorally the consequences range from poor peer relations to extreme violent outburst and all of us in this place without exception have been able to bear witness of classmates who were disruptive to the classroom acting like a clown or picking a fight because they subconsciously just yearned for attention it'd be a whole lot different and better if it wore off after middle school but unfortunately they're far too many adults who still screamed silently looking for attention loud for no reason adorned attire that's not appropriate for their age or their body tight wear bizarre hair every for different days and then get mad when you won't take them serious for business or even in church people who are shouting flailing their hands yelling screaming not because they even have a strand of the Holy Spirit but they want to be seen because some way in life they never got attention and they want to get it by any means necessary way too many believers abound because they weren't seen and I realize that I'm not talking to you but perhaps I'm talking to somebody two rows behind you never seen and you weren't singing by your own family and it still causes you ate in this hour of your life they refused to see your intellect in fear of looking stupid they didn't want to see your beauty because they rejected at their own body they refused to see your pain because they didn't want to face what actually caused it they refused to see your unhappiness because they didn't want to come to grips that they themselves are miserable they didn't want to see your gift because they were ashamed of feeling basic something needs to happen for you to realize you're too anointed to be ignored you don't have to deal with it and they are those who go through painstaking actions to go out of their way to pretend like they don't see you so they're trying not to speak try not to make our contact try to in fact ease out of the room when your name is mentioned for promotion advancement and elevation they try to find something wrong with everything right that you do they try to pull apart every blessing that you receive to be the weather man to brace you for a curse that never comes they try to always antagonize when is your place and your point of vulnerability in hopes that they're magnifying that which is minor will make you minimize that which is significant so they'll do everything to act like they don't see you they pretend like they don't want to be in your life but they always asking about you they know everything about you they won't ever press the like button but they know everything you post they become all engaged and enamored and enthralled in relationships they have no business in they always have an unsolicited opinion that they don't have expertise to critique they always want to give an evaluation on something they never attempted themselves and you got the nerve to be hurt and offended by people who pretend like they don't see you getting your feelings and get upset and bother because they didn't speak because they didn't come because they didn't acknowledge when God is saying why are you waiting for them to validate you the only thing that needs to be validated is parking tickets when you realize who you are in who you are you understand that people can act like they don't see you but the truth of the effervescence of your anointing is you cannot be ignored is that when you walk in the room without doing anything extra all eyes are on you trying to figure out how did you get in that room and they have no idea it was just the grace and the favor of God that escorted me into this arena and this atmosphere and I know you bet it against me and you talked about me and you undermined me and you plotted against me but you see me I'm still here in spite of what you said what you did what you did not fulfill what you tried when you attempted the grace of God has planted me and I will not be ignored don't act like you don't see me jim says 37 we meet a young man by the name of Joseph who is the youngest of Jacob's sons and early in the chapter we discover that he's loved more than any of the rest of them hear this because he came late not because he had any extraordinary gift day but because his timing was off the father loved him I don't know how much more energy you're going to expend trying to justify and defend the love of God on your life you still don't know why it is that things are happening well for you while other people are squalling at the bottom trying to breathe you are to thank God for the undescribable gift of God that has given you a buoyancy to be able to arise in the face of difficult situations I'm talking to some people that still have to scratch your head and pull your hair out and don't know why it is that God pulled you out of a cesspool of mediocrity when everything that was pointed towards you and not failure and average but God said not my child I got something special in store for them you can think off of the top of your head of people that were smarter and more disciplined and had greater gift but they're not as far as you are and the only thing you can ascribe it to it's the grace of God that is always the wind behind your back I don't know why jesus loves me I don't know because the father loved him so much he put a robe on him of many colors the robe of many colors made him stand out and you're frustrated because you keep trying to fit in the anointing that's on your life doesn't make you fit in with a lot of people a lot of people don't get you and don't understand what comes with you you stay up late at night you get up early in the morning you go through moods for no reason you are right by yourself I don't need you checking on me up I'm not going through depression I'm just trying to figure out don't do next I understand that you get excited about tiny stuff but the thing that is on me is bigger than what I can conceptually and everybody don't get me so you spend so much energy trying to fit in when God keeps making you stand out try to play the back try to be nondescript try to be anonymous and before you turn around again they offering your name for something else nominating you for something you never applied for offering you something you didn't even know existed and all the wow you got a tribe of haters trying to figure out how to pull you down and they don't understand if you gonna pull me down you just don't drag me to my knees and if you let me press whatever it is that I'm going through I'm getting ready to come out of it up I'm talking to some people in here that are still surprised that you survived 2017 you still survive that God brought through some stuff that would have killed the weak of people put a robe on him that was multicolored and he was trying to blend in and his father sent him out to his brothers who all had on wool flax and rolls tan he's with all his brothers head-on was tan and he got on a multicolored road and the father tells him go check on the basic people go check on the folk dinner unleaded go check on the people that are regular having no idea that the father is setting him up he goes to go check on them and the Bible says before he can ever get there they talking about him behind his he ain't done nothing to the brothers but exists but his existence was an offense to people who were average you are bothersome to people who have no goals and dreams and desires and passions they're mad because every morning you getting up trying to figure out what can I counter what can I count countless what can I complete and what can they do and all they thinking about is working a nine-to-five forty hours a week working twenty-five years but what God God for your life he is annoyed at you to make a difference in our impact and a change of family this father's sick go check on your brothers they work in a regular job they don't have no dreams no aspirations maybe your presence will inspire them and the Bible says before he ever gets there they talking about and can speak nothing well about him I want you to know right now there's somebody talking about you but I want you to take that as confirmation if you ain't got no haters you ain't papa you gotta find somebody hallelujah that's mad about what's on your life if everybody likes you you ain't gonna make a difference but when you make up in your mind I'm glad you made it because what I found out is as mad as you are you can't stop the destiny that's on my life as upset as you are
