of the i stand video project the recording will take place tonight after service in pastor's office so i think it was originally supposed to be in the dining hall but it will be in pastor's office tonight if you don't know what that is and you'd like more information on the i stand video project you can see sister kim calhoun or anybody on the media team or you can just meet them down at pastor's office tonight if you kind of want to see what's going on with that get involved there's always something to do in the church i know sister paula said that sister caitlin got the bus but there's still something for you to do if you feel left out we can we can make you feel at home we can put you to work somewhere and you don't have to feel left out so come see one of us get involved today and you won't regret it god bless you praise the lord church um this week for home bible study we had 212. so we've been doing a consistent over 200 um for 2021 so i'm grateful for that the bible tells us about kind of working in whatever capacity that god gives us you know we may not be able to teach a bible study like pastor spell or uh tim spell but you teach a bible study according to your own means and it'll grow you uh the questions that they have will make you go back and read and research and so when you visit those again you know you will have the answer and that's how bible study teachers simply grow the bible says some plant some water but it's god that gives the increase and so all we're looking for in the kingdom is the increase so it doesn't really matter who plant it doesn't really matter who water who witnessed who do the bible study we're just looking for the increase to come into the house of god so we love you guys i thank you for the consistent people who have been consistently teaching bible studies anyone else that's interested in teaching bible studies and you want to but you just don't know how you can see me or if you just have a person that need a bible study let me know and i can connect them with someone else so thank you we appreciate you praise the lord today in little sprouts we had 73 children that's ages four to seven we had a lot of fun in there we did puppets and worshiped and had our lesson um we had nine of our children that were able to say their bible verse this morning so we're really excited about that they're already jumping in there and learning it next sunday please invite as many as you can we have a lot of fun things planned for valentine's and continue to pray for us in little sprouts praise the lord our ladies elevate teen classes ages 13 to 17 we had 41 young ladies join us this morning and i'm always so glad to see it such a large number on a sunday morning i'm even more glad that on super bowl sunday when the world has all their events planned and have chosen their gods that there is 11 ladies elevate young ladies in here tonight just putting down roots in the house of god i'm so proud of them sister katie taught an anointed lesson we have a move of god in the altar and i'm thankful for what god's doing in there god bless you he is a mighty god now don't just say it to say it if you're going to say it say it with everything you got hallelujah he is worthy we had 70 young ladies join us today and girls connect ages 8 to 12. we have a wonderful time in there every single sunday sister barbara taught our lesson today and she talked about saul and david in hate and how hate can grow and you don't want that to grow inside of you because it takes a whole lot of jesus to get it out of you and sister caitlin did a great job on the object lesson today had one of our young ladies hadn't been back in a very long time for reasons she came back today with a mind made up that she wanted to be in sunday school it was the most well well-behaved she has ever been in our class so we asked that she'd be removed from the list of children who can't come because they can't behave we don't like to discipline but i'll tell you what it works and whenever they come back they come back with a made up mind that hey this is where i want to be and this is what i want to do and that's what we want we want them to have a love of god in their heart and a desire to serve him wholeheartedly please keep praying for us praise the lord we had 34 teenage boys in the teenage boys class this morning hey man we had a wonderful time even though we're coming in a few weeks behind everyone else we did our foot washing and communion with them this morning many of them uh that was their first time ever even hearing about that being a teaching of jesus a biblical concept and we did that some of them did participate we had an anointed time in there praying and and uh worshipping with them and uh many young men were seeking god some were praying well only into bus numbers being called there were still young men praying and one young man told me uh he wanted to get baptized but he wanted to get his mom and uh have her come with him and so hopefully they come this tuesday him and his mom and hopefully they both get baptized in jesus name god bless you praise the lord we had 67 boys in the gym today we got to see who who's faithful who doesn't just come to play ball but they can come even though it's super bowl sunday like sister nicole said we got to see all of their faces i'm gonna tell a short little story i know i always take really long pastor forgive me if you know trevor off of bus six you know you know him there's no forgetting trevor trevor has a problem stand still he even had a little trouble this morning but during altar call he just he stood completely still and he just let god touch him in a way that i've never seen trevor behave god is not just for the kids that are good god is not just for the kids who can sit still and listen to the bible story and listen to brother judah as he teaches and listen to sister jessica as she teaches us that we need to be grounded in god god is for everybody it just takes a little bit of god and god can fix any thing anything to see him stand there if you don't know trevor just let's say it's a miracle that he stood still god is doing such great things i say it every week i'm never gonna get tired of saying it if you're not doing something please get involved if not for the kids for yourself i have stayed in church i have oh god i have not backslid because there has been times when i thought you know what i can't do this anymore but it was i can't i have to go drive a bus i have to go pick those kids up i have to teach a lesson it keeps you in church if you're struggling the best thing to do is to jump in and help god lord touch us we need help because this because we're about to reap so much we are about to reap what we can't even bear 31 buses that's not enough 31 buses is not enough six areas is not enough we don't have enough people to come to help with what we're about to receive what pastor is going

hallelujah how many of you feel the holy ghost in here tonight thank you jesus amen i'm thankful for strong anointed leaders strong anointed superintendents and each and every every area has an anointed leader in it somebody that preaches great singers and great leaders in every area and they're imprinting our young people how do you remember the first time you heard the gospel of jesus christ preached to you [Music] i can take you to the place i can tell you now the time where the lord saved me by his wonderful grace this song talks about a place where you were heartbreak ridge and where it met new hope road and the lord saved you and changed [Music] it was a wide spot out in the country away from the lights of the city where an old time preacher pitched a ragged old tent looked like it was a hundred years old he started out preaching to no one pretty soon the crowd started gathering and he preached the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and new hope road i turned why i turned into a wild man some people thought i'd gone crazy all too soon came the harvest of the wild seeds that i had sewn i stumbled into a meeting i was looking like death warmed over then i heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and new hope road and he said come here lost something gotta hold them in something got a whole hallelujah when i heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and new hope road and they sang come here lost [Music] something got a hold of me something got a whole when i heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak bridge there's still a wide spot out in the country away from the lights of the city i pitched that old tent that he gave me the time he died and went home sometimes i start preaching to no one pretty soon the crowd starts gathering and i preach the gospel at the corner of heart break grin and [Music] lord i was hopeless heaven [Music] when i heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak bridge a new home [Music] glory hallelujah glory glory glorious lord i was hopeless heaven when i heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak rich and new hope i heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak bridge at new hope road glory hallelujah glory hallelujah [Music] yes lord yes lord yes lord amen be seated in the presence of the lord tonight amen look at your neighbor and smile real big right now this is the only place in america where you can see so many faces yeah at the same time isn't that beautiful luke 16 and 1-12 there's a parable of an unjust steward you know that god will hold you accountable and responsible for what you do with your earthly wealth while you live your time on earth god will not trust you with heavenly riches if he cannot trust you with your earthly riches god not only requires of us to give the tithe which is the tenth holy unto god set apart for the distinct purpose but god also requires of his offerings leviticus the first five chapters deal with five such trespass offerings meal offerings sin offerings peace offerings and burnt offerings the burnt offerings where we offer our bodies as living sacrifices unto god telling him that what's mine is yours i give all of myself to you yes lord the meal offering one of balance perfect measure where god says if you'll give me the ten i'll make the ninety go further than the hundreds if a man will at all redeem his tithe and borrow it from the ten god said you ought to add the fifth part to it and god said since you've taken what was mine i require five percent more to make up for what i've loaned to you because the only way i can supply your needs is if you meet my needs god said and when you don't supply my need i've got to borrow from somewhere else to supply for you but in our church tonight i'm thankful for the blessings of the lord upon us that are in this house in a special way how many of you are thankful for the blessings of the lord on our lives amen tell someone may the blessings of the lord be upon your life may the blessings of glory may the blessings of the lord be upon your life may the blessings of the lord be upon your life 2021 has been our greatest year in our history so much good has happened so far and january is the tithe of the year is the first fruit it's the first month and i just want you to know that in the past 38 days or so that god has blessed us good measure pressed down shaken together and running over and god is going to continue to do so much for us if you believe it shout amen amen so tonight we want to give you an opportunity to give god said return to me and i'll return to you this is a happy time in the church god loves a cheerful giver i can't wait to give tonight because when i give god's gonna put something in its place better than what i gave him amen god open the floodgates of heaven tonight pour out a blessing on your church we're your bride where the elect according unto grace god you promised that you would keep us as the apple of your eyes so keep us tonight god bless us as we come and bless you in jesus name we pray it amen as we march and give to the work of god tonight [Music] do [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] hallelujah stand up oh soldiers of the lord i feel like going on [Music] though trials could [Music] going [Music] i feel like going going on [Music] the trials they come [Music] going on [Music] god is so good to us god is so good to us god is so good to us we could never complain [Music] every [Music] great is thy faithfulness oh god my father there is no shine turning [Music] they failed [Music] shall be is anybody in a season right now summer and winter spring time and harvest [Music] [Music] to thy great faithfulness to my great faithfulness has he been faithful to you to thy great [Music] faithfulness [Music] hallelujah praise the lord as you turn it in your bibles [Music] to the first book of your new testament the gospel is according to saint matthew matthew in chapter 13 verse number 33 [Music] this is the middle mystery of the seven kingdom of heavens are likened unto's three prior and three after and this is right in the middle another parable spake he unto them and jesus said the kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till the hole was leavened the woman that hid wickedness the woman that hid wickedness god blesses we're seated in the fear of the lord tonight as jesus gives us these seven parables in the 13th chapter as according to saint matthew he begins with the mystery of the soils and sower went forth to sow and as he sowed seed fell on stony ground foreign and thistle ground wayside ground and finally good ground following is the parable and mystery of the tares and wheat after jesus gives to us the mystery of the tares and wheat he says the kingdom of heaven is likened to a grain of mustard seed and then into the fifth mystery that of the treasure hid in a field after jesus describes the mystery of the treasure hid in the field he said the kingdom of heaven is likened to a man seeking goodly pearls after that of the pearl of great price finally that mystery of the dragnet as the net is thrown out into the sea of this world it brings an all manner of fishes into the kingdom of heaven when jesus said the kingdom of heaven is likened to he is telling you this is what church is like if you were to get a full spectrum of what church is like you can read the 13th chapter of matthew and then in further explanation revelations chapter 2 verses 1 through revelation chapter 3 and 22 he goes into further explanation of the seven churches of asia minor the seven churches of asia minor coincide perfectly align and are co-linear with the seven mysteries of the kingdom of heaven what the parable of the soil and the sower is the church of ephesus is also and then winding up with the mystery of the dragnet winding up in the church of laodicea but here in the middle mystery it's a mystery of a woman a woman that took 11 11 and hid it into three measures of meal satan does more by sowing tares into churches than he does by pulling wheat satan is not interested in the church but rather joining the church satan can do more by counterfeitisms than he can by obstructionism and rather than fighting churches today it's a lot easier for him to simply join the church here in this mystery of a woman every woman in your bible represents a church she's either a good woman or a bad woman she's either partly good woman and partly bad woman are all together good or all together bad as is these mysteries of the kingdom so are the seven asia minor churches some are good some are bad some are very good and very bad and some partly good and partly bad and this woman this woman took and hid three measures of meal as eve was a type of the church adam was a type of jesus christ as zipper the wife to moses was a type of the bride of christ the church so moses was a type of jesus christ as hosea was a type of jesus christ himself his bride gomer was a type of the bride of christ so on and so forth every woman in the bible represents a church and as this woman that is representative of the church took three measures of meal and hid them she was very subtle about it she was not in your face about it it was not obvious at all it appears to be good what she is doing but it was corrupt indeed she flew under the radar of the eyes of the sleeping prophet she came in under this under the disguise of safety or help or maybe even a blessing in disguise but nonetheless this woman was a corrupt woman this woman was an evil woman not in the beginning but she turned out to be because of what was allowed to be hidden inside of her three measures not just one not two but three measures the first measure representative of phariseeism pharism is that of externalism everything is about what man can see phariseeism everything is about what the world thinks about me everything is about what others think about me phariseeism jesus in matthew 23 gave unto them eight woes and said woe unto you pharisees for outside you were whitewashed sepulchers but inside you were full of dead men's bones he said to the untrained eye it may be a child you can deceive by passing by a graveyard and looking at the beautiful headstones and the fresh flowers and the ornate reeves that are hanged on the mausoleums but jesus said i see right through you you make the outside of the cup clean but the inside is full of extortion and excess and this woman hid a measure of phariseeism and externalism into the church and then added into the phariseeism a measure of second sadduceeism sadduceeism was skepticism to the supernatural they downplayed an outpouring of the spirit of god they were very cynical about the miraculous that jesus could perform day in and day out when it came to supernaturalism mysticism outpourings and moves of god almighty stirrings they were skeptical about it from start to stop they didn't want to hear about it they were the they they did not believe in the afterlife they didn't believe in something that would give them hope of a better tomorrow they did not believe in the resurrection that's why they were so sad you see but even in the midst of sadduceeism jesus said you shall have power after that the holy ghost has come upon you not only that the apostle paul downplayed sadduceeism altogether and even phariseeism in its totality when he said when i came to you corinth i came not with excellency of speech nar with enticing words of man's wisdom that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men but in a demonstration of an outpouring of supernatural phenomenal mighty miraculous power of god almighty that's what separates the true church from the false church not just the doctrine of the mighty god in christ and the essentiality of water baptism in his holy name but the importance and the emphasis upon jesus christ is the head of the church and the boss of pentecost and he's in charge of the house of god from start to stop in every way you could possibly think not only was there phariseeism that the woman hid in a measure not only was there sadduceeism that she hid in a measure but finally there was herodianism herodianism in its most fundamental definition was worldliness as jesus christ was led out of pilate's judgment hall and demanded that he would be taken to heroin to herod the fool looked at jesus and said show us one of your miracles and perform for us one of your tricks he was very carnal he was very he was very shallow he was very for lack of better words worldly but jesus commanded us in knowing certain terms to love not the world neither the things that are in the world for if any man loved the world the love of the father cannot be in him then paul said i beg you i beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of god almighty that you present your body's living sacrifices holy acceptable unto god which is your reasonable service and be not conformed to this world while there's a world out there that wants us to conform to their ideologies tonight that there is a spirit of god inside of the true church that said we will not be conformed but we will be transformed and this woman hid this woman that was a church hid the phariseeism the externalism the skepticism to the supernatural and the worldliness in the church so subtly and so disguisedly and camouflagedly that the entire church was ruined until it became just like the world she had done it so subtly and so slowly and so incrementally that before you know it the entire lump was leavened don't you know that the bible tells you that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump it doesn't take a whole lot of phariseeism to corrupt the church it doesn't take a whole lot of sadduceism to corrupt the church it doesn't take an awful lot of worldliness to corrupt the church but just a little bit here and there until the church has lost its identity as the people of god and the body of christ that are ambassadors of jesus in the world the only business that the true church has in this world is going out into the world and bringing the world into the church so that we can go back out into the world and bring the world into the church where jesus said by this shall all men know that you are my disciples that you have loved one for another amen but then over here until the entire church was ruined in the book of revelation the second chapter and the 18th verse he that happened here let him hear and jesus spoke unto the church at thyatira he said unto the angel when the bible writes unto the angel it's the pastor of the church he said unto the angel or the leader the man of god the pastor the bishop the overseer of the church of thyatira these things right saith the son of god he said there was something about the church of thyatira that was similar to the woman that hid the three measures of meal until the entire lump was leavened and had had become good for nothing it was burnt crust on one side it was raw dough on the other side gray hairs were here and there on its head until it knew it not it had become so ineffective in the world that the world had literally consumed it until it was just like the world and he said you know what there's some things about you thiatira balaamism and nicolaitanism has triumphed over you balaamism was what god hated about the church of thyatira nicolaitanism was what god hated about the church of thyatira and finally there was the woman jezebel who you suffered to teach my people to worship more than one god the three measures of meal in matthew 13 and 33 were now translated to balaamism nicolaitanism and finally jezebel ism balaam there was the way of balaam the dark of balaam and the error of balaam the way of balaam was a way that he he sold his gift and bartered his gift on the worldly market for monetary gain the way of balaam is a way that sells himself to the highest bidder and then the doctrine of balaam cast stumbling blocks before israel so that they ultimately fall into forbidden relationships and god judges them but the error of balaam is balaam says since i can't destroy them from the outside i've got to hide myself on the inside of them until god brings severe judgment and yes god will judge a people that fall into idolatry exodus 34 and 15 said that you have taught my people to fall into idolatry but then you have nicolaitanism it was literally the rule of the people over god instead of god leading the people it was the people leading god instead of the people obeying the bible it was the people writing their own bible instead of the people being governed by god they were to be ruled by tyrants of the world and finally there was that woman jezebel oh that woman seduced the prophets of god until they became her prophets and they fell into gross and negligent idolatry but in the midst of that woman that hid this wickedness this leaven that was malice it was strife it was ugly dirty rotten sin the woman taught them to worship more than one god they had fallen into idolatry but oh he said there's still some of you that have held fast unto my doctrine in the midst of a corrupt and a perverted church that is full of phariseeism and externalism and sadduceism and skepticism of supernaturalism instead of a church that is eat up with worldliness there's still going to be a church that has held fast unto the truth of god's word there's still going to be a church that has not suffered jezebel she will not be ruled by man but will be ruled by god she will not fall into the era of balaam for money but she will follow god even if it means she's to be broke it was in in first corinthians chapter five and verse number five the bible said deliver such and one unto satan for the destruction of the flesh that the spirit may be saved in the day of the lord jesus your glory is not good know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump and when paul in the book of first corinthians 5 and 5 said that we have to save the spirit so you have to deliver thee you have to deliver that spirit of externalism and worldliness and the skepticism to supernaturalism you have to deliver that over to devil you have to take the spirit of jezebel and deliver that over to the devil because if you don't then the spirit of the church is going to be lost i just got some questions for the true church tonight whatever happened to a church that said we get our rights to worship from god and not from a supreme court whatever happened to a church that said we get our rights to preach from god and not from a supreme court now i know today is super sunday they call it super sunday because there's two teams playing down in miami in the super bowl but while you're down there in the super bowl nfl that stands for not for long while you're down there in the super bowl you can only have a handful of people and behind your double mask on your mug you better keep your mouth shut cause dr fauci said that you can't scream you can't sing and you can't chant lest you spread that deadly virus to somebody well they make and dictate to the nfl because those gods are controlled by this world's government but when it comes to the church of a living god i'll tell you how i respond to somebody that says i can't sing i open up my mouth and sing louder than i've ever sang i'll tell you how i respond to people that say i can't shout i open up my mouth and shout louder than i've ever shouted [Applause] i'm thankful i'm thankful hidden it's something that you can get so used to eating crumbs you can get so happy about crumbs that when somebody puts a steak out in front of you you actually turn your nose up to it i rejoice with the california churches tonight i rejoice with them because for 11 months they hadn't been able to have church and the supreme court just told them that you can have 25 in your church and i'm rejoicing with them that's better than nothing but you see how the woman comes in and she hides in that 11. it's better than nothing at least we can have 25 but 75's got to go to hell at least we can have 25 but that little bit 11 leavens the whole lump and the devil said if i can get them to accept 25 then they'll accept 10. if they can accept i can get him to accept five but a little bit leavens the whole lump until the whole lump is 11. but i just want to tell you how i respond to the supreme court because while 25 can go to church when you get to church you can't sing or chant that's all right here's how i respond to the supreme court the supreme court that gave us roe versus wade that snatches babies out of a mother's womb and murders him the supreme court that gave us same-sex marriage men marrying men and women marrying women here's how i respond to the supreme court that says i can't sing this little light of mine i'm going to let it shine here's how i respond when you say i can't chant the lord is my light and my salvation whom shall i fear i don't want a little bit i don't want a little bit i don't want a three-quarter bit but i want all that god has for me and god said i want you to obey the whole word not 25 of the word hallelujah well we have taken the love approach to people i have taken the love approach to people too by this by this say you have the love of god that you keep my commandments if you really want to prove your love to god then keep god's commandments his commandments are not grievous and don't let a little bit of that leaven get into the church don't don't accept incremental measures i said why if i had a dollar for the past 48 hours for everybody said oh pastor aren't you happy about this ruling oh pastor aren't you pleased about this ruling i said just watch me preach a little bit would you i said why in the world would i be happy about a woman that hid three measures of meal into the lump until the whole lump became leavened why would i be excited about some carnal judge in washington somewhere that thinks they can tell me if i can sing or not that thinks they can tell me if i can shout or not that thinks they can tell me if 75 people can come in here or not i'm not happy about it for one minute in fact i'll take all or nothing at all henry your jurisdiction stops at the door of that church supreme court your jurisdiction stops at the door of that church whoever you are or wherever you are what's happened to the church the church is being brainwashed the church is being psychologically conditioned the church is enforcing trivial demands and while the church is being brainwashed and psychologically conditioned and enforcing trivial demands of masking and staying six feet away from one another and washing their hands like they've got some disease the devil's coming in the back door and while politicians are worried about you keeping a mask on your face and while baton rouge's politicians are worried about us having church tonight and while baton rouge's mayors and governors and senators and congressmen and whosoever they are are worried about us singing and chanting and shaking hands with one another baton rouge had its deadliest month in its history in the month of january there were more murders and homicides in all of january than all of our history while we are while we are sidetracked with trivial demands and they are being barney fights to people that just want to live and make a living the devil came in and killed our young people the devil came in and murdered good men and women that's why the church can't get sidetracked with the world the church can't get sidetracked with what the world is doing the church can't get sidetracked with what the supreme court is doing whatever they do or don't do the church is going to be the church politicians have important jobs our roads are filled with potholes our ditches and and medians and common areas are filled with litter and trash and cigarette butts and coke cans and milk jugs and paper trash all over our city but while our city is going into ruins and our houses windows are being broken and vandalized and tires and garbage are all over our city littering instead of the politicians doing what they were elected to do run a municipality as a politician instead they want to come in the church and hide their meal and living in the church we're doing a pretty good job in this church this is the most beautiful place in the city there's not a cigarette but on these 34 acres there's not a gum wrapper on these 34 acres if it happens to fall each one of us pick it up and say this is god's house you're not going to corrupt god's house why don't the politicians take a lesson from the church and get busy doing your job and let the church do her job you really think i'm going to get excited you really think i want to get excited that when in a hundred seat building that 75 people have got to go home how how how how subtly has this woman hid her meal in us that we're actually happy with the government telling us what we can and cannot do it was hidden so well the leaven was hidden so well into the nation of israel that after 40 days moses was up with god getting a message for the people and the people had fallen into calf worship and idolatry isn't it something that when when we when we lose sight of what god delivered us out of egypt for and brought us to canaan's land for that we get so sidetracked we actually fall into idolatry but i want you to know that god said of the increase of my government there shall be no end the government shall be on his shoulder his name shall be called wonderful counselor the mighty god the woman had hidden wickedness in the church so so deeply the doctrine of balaamism and nicolaitanism and jezebelism had stuck its head into the church that churches are actually one church in our great city took three million dollars from the federal government in the payroll protection plan one church in our city took three million dollars i'm talking about an evangelical church in our city i'm talking about churches in a five-mile radius that took 275 000 from the federal government why didn't you just keep your church open why didn't you just do like we did we've had a record month in the month of january god has filled our wine presses god has busted our barn doors open god has opened heaven's windows all you got to do is obey the word of god but a woman has hidden wickedness in you hallelujah when you do it god's way god's way never fails before you know it the the state will be in the church so much that they won't let you pray for nobody they'll tell you what you can and cannot preach from the pulpit once they put money into your church they own you but this is one church for the government that you're not going to put one dime in i said god takes care of his flock he feeds his flock like a shepherd i would rather shut the lights out and preach under that oak tree on the front lawn then i had to be a servant to a lender called the government hallelujah hallelujah leaven tastes awful good that's why when we take the lord's supper there's unleavened bread up there it don't taste good at all because unleavened bread has nothing in it to make it taste good there's nothing in there to make it sweet there's nothing in there to make it rise it's just flat it's ugly it doesn't have a good appearance to the naked eye that unleavened bread was a type of jesus christ he had no form of comeliness and his message his physics was marred there was nothing about him that we should desire you actually had to get on the inside of the tabernacle to find the beauty of the tabernacle because if all you did was look on the outside it was badger skins and round skins and seal skins and goat skins and a fire over the holy place but when you get on the inside there's gold there's oil there's fresh bread there is aroma of worship there's a golden lamp stand there's a golden table of shoe bread there's a golden altar of incense there's a veil behind which is the ark of the covenant this overlay is representative of jesus christ and when jesus christ in revelation 2 and 19 when he came to the church at thyatira he had fire in his eyes and he had brass on his feet he said i'm coming judging everywhere i go and i'm coming with fire in my eyes everything i see i'm mad at everything i see i'm angry at but god when you come here tonight we are not the church of thyatira we are the church of philadelphia we're the church of the open door don't you remember you opened that door and nobody can shut it don't you remember you shut some doors and nobody can open them now i can imagine down there about right now tom brady's throwing a touchdown and nobody can scream in the audience and nobody behind their double mask can cheer on their quarterback in the audience but in here tonight in here we're probably the loudest church in the world tonight we're probably the loudest busiest biggest congregation in the world tonight and if you'll open up your mouth and shout you'll let the devil know that jesus christ jesus christ jesus christ scored a touchdown 2 000 years ago but you can't tell me to be quiet i'm gonna say thank you jesus hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah that's why the bible said shout unto god with a voice of triumph shout unto god with the voice of triumph the devil came to the wilderness and while jesus was in the wilderness he said i feel something that i felt before i remember when i used to be the first man and that serpent came into my wilderness it was a garden but now it's a wilderness i remember the creepiness that i felt i remember the subtlety that i felt he was more subtle than any beast of the field i remember he was trying to hide behind an angel of light but whenever he got finished with the first man adam it was a way of destruction and a flaming sword was at the gate of the entrance of the garden of eden but now i feel him again in luke 4 how how out here in this god-forsaken wilderness this desert place would anybody want to be out here but he came tempting jesus with the lust of the flesh the lust of the eyes and the pride of life and the devil said jesus if you worship me i'll give you these kingdoms devil they don't belong to you to give away the earth is the lord's and the fullness thereof the world and they that dwell therein he hath founded it upon the seas he have established it upon the floods who shall ascend under the hill of the lord he that have clean hands and a pure heart who have not lifted up himself in pride nor sworn deceitfully lift up your hands on your gaze don't let nobody keep you quiet don't let nobody make you stop shouting don't let lift up your heads oh your gates hallelujah the reason i've got a problem with that woman hiding wickedness is because when you shout over supreme court rulings like you got on friday night what they did was set a precedent and if they can tell you you can't sing or chant then they can tell me i can't sing or chant and that makes me look like the bad guy i'm not the bad guy i'm the one obeying the word of god the bible said to shout with a voice a triumph he said to praise him in the timbrel praise him in the dance let everything but have breath praise ye the lord praise he the lord [Music] that woman hid wickedness that woman hid wickedness she had hid so much wickedness in the church somebody actually called me the other day and he said yes i want to leave a message for the pastor i said go ahead he said i i got a problem with this church you see i'm apostolic and i see some things going on in your church that says you're not apostolic i said his pastor spells speaking here he started backing up from the phone he thought he had somebody that he was going to push around i said before you talk about god's church go ahead and tell me what you're going to talk about he said well i see an awful lot of worldliness in there and that's not representative of apostolicism i said what you're representative of is phariseeism and externalism and instead of looking at the splinter in my eye you better look at the beam in your eye and if everybody looks like you think they ought to look in your church you better check and see if you're fulfilling the message of the gospel which said to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved you know what the problem our churches have been some have become so clean a sport and no more a six and the same tricks a seven on the way to heaven us eight and everything's great to us nine and everything's fine everything we've got ten and i'll see you again on sunday but not in god's church i can't recognize people from service to service because there's new people in god's church god's church is growing god's church is delivering babies god's church is a birthing center hallelujah hallelujah if your offering don't smell like cigarette smoke you're not an apostolic if you don't have a smoke pin on your front lawn you're not an apostolic if your pews don't smell like marijuana you're not an apostolic if there ain't some alcohol on some people's breath in here you're not apostolic but in god's church i'm not hiding from you and you can't hide from me you came in the right place n a is the wrong place a a is the wrong place but the apostolics is the right place the church is the right place see hallelujah had the bible said he said where do you think we're going to start that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in my name beginning out in the world no beginning at the supreme court no beginning at the white house no but repentance and remission of sins should be preached in my name beginning at jerusalem jerusalem is my mother jerusalem is a woman that is my mother she birthed me she's the mother of us all and when it starts in the church it infects the entire city it's got to get out of these walls it's got to go everywhere that you couldn't go without him hallelujah if you're not careful you'll get happy with crumbs if you're not careful you'll get satisfied with nobody getting baptized if you're not careful you'll be happy when nobody's up here getting healed of cancer you if you're not careful you'll get happy when the church isn't expanding and growing when the church isn't busting at the seams and you can't control what's going on in the church because god's church is a wildfire and you can't control it'll drive you nuts trying to keep up with everything that's going on around here i just can't keep up with what's going on i don't know anybody around here anymore i can't keep up with what's happening in the church thank god that's god's church you see you've you've been you've been you've allowed the woman to hide leaven of malice and strife till it became wicked but in god's church something's happening something's moving something's alive hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah oh but it said that there's some of you that have held fast there's some of you that kept my word you wouldn't suffer that woman jezebel you wouldn't tolerate balaam you didn't put up with nicolaitanism you would not tolerate phariseeism and sadduceeism and herodianism this church is a holy church it's a sanctified church and in god's church hey man it ought to be it ought to be your children or to scratch their head when they go home on sunday night and say why didn't somebody shout tonight mama why didn't somebody get baptized tonight mama why didn't somebody run the aisles tonight mama you know why because the woman hid measures a meal in the church until you became complacent with a dead church with a dry church with a worldly church but in god's church the church of philadelphia on your way home if you can get your children to go home there's somebody in here tonight that actually left their children here on tuesday night they couldn't get her daughters to leave the church i said i told you i was going to leave you i got to get up early in the morning but the girl stood around for 30 minutes or so talking in the church and after about a half hour there wasn't many of us left and they went to the door looking for their mama and said we don't know where she is i said she left you she left you because she got to get up early tomorrow but i'm thankful for a church that says my children don't want to go home my children can't wait to get there my children don't want to leave if you hadn't been on bus six this morning the most popular bus in the world with the john deere green stripes you would have found some children hanging on my shoulder and saying pastor drop me off last pastor take me home last i don't want to go home i want to stay on the bus i want to stay in the church you know why because we don't allow that woman to hide wickedness in here this is a safe place this is a holy place this is a fun place hallelujah hallelujah ain't gonna be no leavening here i said we're not gonna let you put a little bit of leaven in here not your phariseeism not your sadduceeism and not your herodianism this is a holy church this is a supernatural church and we're a balanced church but my foot stand up in an even place and when i think about the goodness of jesus and all that he's done for me my soul cries out hallelujah praise god for saving me hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah jesus said let me tell you what happened when the prince of the world came he found some stuff in judas he found some stuff in the pharisees but when the prince of this world came he found nothing in me and when the devil comes in this church tonight he doesn't find a welcome atmosphere you're not welcome in this house devil you're not a you're not allowed in this house devil you don't have no place in this church devil this is a holy church a sanctified church a jesus name church a holy ghost church a bloodball church a mercy talk church a jesus name church a tongue-talking church a gifts of the spirit church a giving church a living church a forgiving church a worshipping church a dancing church a joy leaping church a hand clapping church a footstopping church an evangelism church a holy ghost church somebody told me recently and it was a pastor he said tony he could call me by my first name because he's older than a pastor he said tony you got to think about three things son you got to think about what your city thinks about you you got to think about what your church thinks about you you got to think about what god thinks about you he had him inverted i want to know what god thinks about me i think god thinks pretty good about me i'm not all that there ain't much about me the only thing good in me is jesus but i want you to know what god thinks about me

city thinks about me this world's not my home i'm a stranger a pilgrim in route to my eternal home somebody said well i said what does my city think about me they said they think you all are crazy they think you all have lost your mind i said praise god i finally lived up to the bible let this mind be in you which also was in christ jesus jesus didn't fit in either jesus didn't belong in this world either jesus didn't get along in this world either and as long as i don't fit in as long as who's the crazy ones y'all down there in florida that can't scream when your quarterback throws a
