MERISMOS 05-2025: THE PNEUMATIKOS MAN — DRJPJ 061525

come on praise the Lord hallelujah hallelujah oh bless him hallelujah come on bless the Lord hallelujah we are so grateful and so thankful for who God is and let me say uh again to all of our fathers happy Father's Day thank y'all so much for for the public affirmation please be seated thank you so much though for that and and I don't want you to miss it i know I said let me say first of all thank you to the men that were with us on yesterday at Bread of Life uh for their men's day we had a good time over there and I I I just want you to understand I said something to their men uh and it applies to all of us amen it's not about that i said only in church we have to explain things praise God only in church we have to explain what we do why we do it it's amazing we've been uh even yesterday at intercessory prayer pastor Sheila alluded to the fact that no one at least to my knowledge has ever blamed Buddha for anything nobody's blaming Krishna if you want to know who the real God is the real God is the one that gets blamed for things that you don't like are y'all listening to me nobody's y'all quiet nobody has ever blamed Krishna for their mother dying but we got people that won't come back to church because their parent went home to be with the Lord i didn't say they died and went to hell they actually went to heaven and you're still mad at God but you haven't blamed Buddha you haven't blamed you haven't blamed Allah you haven't blamed the door knob you worship but you blame the almighty God and here's how good he is he can handle your blame he can handle it are y'all listening to me i said he can handle your blame so I'm saying this to those of you who might say "That's too much that's too much." Here's the thing uh I remember you know my dad I know he was lying and I didn't realize he was lying until I got older when he used to say he walked five miles both ways in the snow uphill you know with with no shoes on get an apple for Christmas and they were grateful for it he was lying i didn't know it he was lying though but I understand what his point was if you learn how to be grateful in the little things right if you be grateful in the little things the Bible lets us know this is how God whether you believe it or not this is one of the ways God checks your heart to see if you can handle more because the Bible says if we'll be faithful over a few things then he'll make us ruler the reason so many watch this not atheist not even homosexuals lesbians not not m The reason so many Christians struggle in the area of money more than any other that's the area you've yet to show God you're faithful in and it's not tithe and offering because your Bible says that he will give you seed to seed to sew bread for food but then it also says a couple of verses before that it says and he will make all grace abound not just so you'll have enough for you but it then at the last piece of that is and every charitable donation amen and so I I say that because I'm so grateful i'm thankful to all of you for all of the gifts you know it's not I don't want you to ever miss it it's not about that but it does say something when a person will be willing to honor somebody else you know what I mean i I I don't know about you i'm going say this and I got to get out of the way so we can get to work but I I don't I I pray to God I don't go to another funeral we got to pull somebody off the casket usually the one that don't want the casket closed didn't honor the one that was laying in there while they were breathing the reason you don't want the funeral to end is because you're now dealing with the reality you didn't honor them when they were alive so I I I pray to God I'm here a long time amen i I got some living to do but I will say this Adrian if you're still here before before the Lord comes and I go first don't let them stand in line to look at me if they didn't stand in line to honor me [Applause] did he say that yeah i I'm I it's grieving lines wrapped around the building to look at a corpse are y'all here and so I thank God for our church i really do i appreciate you and I love y'all i really do i'm so grateful and thank God for you i want to say again um if your dad is alive you understand people say "I don't have a relationship with my dad." Well get one if you listen if you got a once a year happy Father's Day relationship your father deserves that you understand i don't he I said he deserves that and and I want to make sure I stress that now this weekend we're excited this coming Friday and Saturday is our men's conference apostle Carlos Keith will be with us i'm looking forward to that now I really be honest i wasn't expecting all of this today because I was prepared for my birthday however I will say this it's not my fault that I was born this close to Father's Day amen and so so don't don't don't get it twisted and and give me that all-incclusive you understand and and I'm saying this because I'm talking to my family i can I can I can say this cuz y'all family right now listen don't give me what you determine is a blessing for me did I say that he said he's on one it's all good what I mean don't don't give me a gift card to Olive Garden when I'm trying to watch my carbs you understand don't Don't give me stuff like that don't give me what you don't want hello somebody if you're not sure I just a simple we love you is good enough for me i promise you that i I'm not expecting anything but I'm always I always find it interesting uh we've had people leave now that's been years ago it's been over 20 years ago but a brother left the church cuz I would never wear the tie he bought me but I wouldn't have never bought that tie for myself don't get mad at me i don't want Daffy Duck around my neck i'm a grown man why in the world I'm going to wear a Daffy Duck tie so don't say "Oh pastor I was think you could have been thinking about me if you bought a Daffy Duck tie." Hello somebody that I'm I'm talking about me so y'all don't get swole so those of you who bought your dad one you got time if the store open take it back take it back your daddy don't want no daffy duck around his neck hello ain't no men up in here quacking come on we we're we're we are the tribe of the line of Judah at least get him Simba or or Mufasa you went and got him a duck are y'all here don't be buying no man no Mickey Mouse stuff we grown men up in here amen we're grown men listen I love y'all let's get ready let's get ready uh for the word and And again y'all keep Listen I I I'm on a serious note i was serious about the other stuff too but um continue to be praying the warfare is intense are y'all listening to me the warfare is intense our dear brother uh Bishop uh Charles he's the one a couple years ago remember he came here he had had a stroke he should not have lived the doctors even told him they're not sure how he lived and and yet uh he came here and preached for us and then just last week or so he had two more uh strokes now he's doing better but we need to keep praying sometimes I think what we'll do is we'll pray we'll pray a person to their miracle we got to learn how to pray people through their through this thing you understand because if God bring them up they're still here so keep praying that's just one example that's that's him but there's so many uh uh Elder Snider just told me his brother has been diagnosed with some rare uh blood cancer or whatever it is and again we don't mind the diagnosis we don't even mind if it's real what we understand is the word of the Lord asks us whose report will you believe amen whose report will you believe i want to charge you to believe the report of the Lord if you don't know what the report of the Lord is open your Bible and find out what God said concerning you and healing amen because the doctor can say you got six months to live you actually start preparing to die the Bible says life is but a vapor and you live like you're going to be here forever whose report are you going to believe we need to be prepared to die but I'm prepared to die only because death is the gateway to me living forever hello somebody it's the gateway so y'all listen let's celebrate your dad if you haven't called him yet don't do it during service it's too late now don't do it during service but you reach out to him and listen don't love on him any less than you did your mom and I don't want to hear he left me you still breathing so you have an opportunity not to leave him amen reach out and tell him a happy father say "Y'all come on i'm ready now babe i got all that out."

Hallelujah [Music] said "He won't fail." [Music] My my my He's the only one that won't i said he's the only one that won't hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah he's the only one he's the only one one of the things I love about pastoring is the opportunity to help people and to speak into people's lives to be there for them but what we many times fail to realize is your pastor is human and people get bothered with people who fail but that's that's what we do not even on purpose but the scripture says the scripture says that if he were to mark our iniquities we wouldn't be able to stand yeah that that already tells you that you going to mess up even though you're not trying then the other scripture says he already knows my frame that I'm just dust meaning he already knows I'm not going to put all of my trust in man because man will let me down what amazes me is how I can be done with you Lisa because you let me down but never trust God who will never ever ever fail we got folk that have missed it you've put your faith in man instead of your faith in God if I put my faith in God then even if I mess up this is the part I love about him not failing not he won't fail even if I do he won't fail to restore me when I do if I just repent he won't fail he cannot he will not he won't fail listen let's get in the word let's get in the word i I I am grateful i can't hear myself though hallelujah but I'm I'm you know I'm I'm thankful nonetheless amen i can hear myself but I can't hear myself through the mic let me say it that way i'm not losing my hearing praise the Lord amen amen but y'all go with me to Hebrews chapter 4 and again I'm so grateful to all of you uh on this Father's Day Sunday how many of you woke up this morning and thanked your father oh my I woke up this morning you know and and please don't take this the wrong way people like man my dad died and you know my mom's not here and I understand that it's it's and I my my heart is sensitive to that so I'm definitely not uh speaking light Lord Little concerning that you know my father went home to be with the Lord in October of 20 uh 20 three 2003 20003 i'll never forget it i was in a church service when we got the news and so I understand it but I didn't say my daddy died i said my father went home with the Lord to be with the Lord and what my dad did before he left here was show his son how to also join him one day so before I before I get all sad cuz I can't call him and wish him a happy Father's Day what I'll do instead is thank the father that saved my father y'all ain't talking back to me that gave my father the will to tell his son about the father that saved him and so I thank God for the dime I had with my dad i don't want y'all to get all sad and down because either your dad's not here or you don't have the relationship you want there is a father and he won't fail oh yeah how about wishing him a happy father's day watch this and and because he's our father when you wake up in the morning you can do it again because today is the day that the Lord has made and we shall be glad and rejoice in it so whether it's on Father's Day Mother's Day Granddaddy Day depression day Pride Day s this is the day come on give God a happy Father's Day shot hallelujah hallelujah but Hebrews chapter 4 you know and I say this last thing i'm I'm I promise you we're going to share something i my dad he's gone my the the patriarch of my family most of y'all know my uncle um and I thought about him because you know my my dad's been gone and he reminded me a lot of my my my big mama his mom was my big mama and um my big mama had she had a brother i didn't know him that well but her sister aunt Chris they were close and my big mama went home to be with the Lord before my aunt Chris did so Aunt Chris kind of stepped in you know what I'm saying she didn't take over she just kind of stepped in and and my dad's been gone now like I said over 20 years uh but then my uncle I'm so grateful that even before my dad died that my uncle and my father had relationship with the Lord i don't know if y'all understand how serious that is to me i I listen we need to get saved man and so I just want to say to my uncle happy Father's Day to you as well to my uncle amen and it's a personal say "Well pastor what about me?" Well take your mirror out and and and prophesy to yourself come on man you know I just want to do that because again we we we funerals i just left one sir one on Wednesday i was just in one i wasn't in church Wednesday night cuz I was at a funeral on Wednesday and that funeral is longer than any church service I've been in for a while are y'all listening to me and the sad thing is that young man has gone home but but what's crazy is we waited till then and everybody in the building had something to say i'm like how many of y'all called that man last week how many of y'all acknowledged his birthday on his birthday now don't tell about how remember when we were six he was 42 young man yes sir yes sir young man y'all hear me yes sir so don't don't don't live with regrets get it out now get it out hebrews chapter 4 that was my last one verse number 12 y'all all right hebrews chapter 4 verse number 12 and the word of the Lord declares out of the King James version it says "For the word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing of sunder of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow and is a discerner." Say discerner yes sir of the thoughts and intents of the heart go ahead you may have your seats in the presence of our life-changing king father we thank you and bless you this morning for your word and we pray that it was go forth power with clarity and understanding thanking you Lord for your word because it is the truth and so I just pray God that we would have our hearts prepared to receive the truth of your word that it would fall on good ground bringing forth fruit that would glorify you and you alone and in that we do thank you in advance in Jesus' name amen amen amen praise the Lord again happy birthday i mean um happy Father's Day to all of our Father's Day somebody Jordan jordan who my Jordan today your birthday what [Applause] i was like "My Jordan?" I knew it was in June but so I I got you i tell you what I'mma wait till after after my birthday i just give you back what you give me i'm joking i'm joking babe that's majority i can joke with my Jordan so that I can joke but happy happy father's day but it is a lot of birthdays and around this time June is just you know that's all I'm saying praise the Lord praise the Lord but anyway anyway um I know normally I do a Father's Day message and I'm not doing one today uh for one because I'm this this Marismos has just been really hitting us where we we need to get hit right that's one but then we have our men's conference this upcoming weekend so we'll we'll have plenty of time to deal with the brothers and fathers singles and all of that this weekend so I want to continue with the marriage most teaching today but I want to talk about uh from that thought we want to deal with the pneumaticose man the pneumaticose man the pneumaticose the numaticose man are y'all there yeah the the pneumaticose man and it it's a Greek word but the reason uh we're dealing with it today you'll see in just a moment the pumaticose man because the Bible says this according to um the scripture the word that that that Greek word pneumatic it is actually it literally means to be spiritled or spiritual to be spiritledd or to be spiritual and and today what we want to focus on because so many of us so many um of us saved born again believers are carnal it's it's it's it's almost it's almost to the degree that carnality is so strong in the church the spiritual person is called the weird Christian right the person that actually quotes scripture on a off day is called deep and wonderful that's like me being being my wife's husband on Sundays Wednesdays Saturdays and any other service we might have but on the day we don't have service I take my wedding ring off and just go out there and see if I can get another woman that is now everybody understand that so how is it that you only live right on Sundays Wednesdays some Saturdays the Saturday you decide to come to prayer or any other service that we might have ask the question you understand it's as foolish as a matter of fact it's more so foolish than that because I cannot not be the only way she cannot be my wife is that we legally end the marriage one of us dies she's still my wife i'm just a widow or she's a I'm a widowerower or she's a widow right so the only way we end it is by divorce so think about this i said it that way because die division i want you to focus on what divorce really is it's a division of a covenant right so divorce now watch this it's so if I'm going to be spiritual once a week I literally divorce my spirit every week how in the No wonder why we're in so much pain i'm separating myself from the very thing that keeps me whole he won't I'm sorry i thought we probably sing some more y'all still here so the pneumaticose man spiritledd or spiritual man remember we were first the spirit god is spirit he created us in his image and after his likeness he is spirit so before you ever had a soul before you were ever put in the body you were and still are spirit that's right so pneumaticose is allowing that spirit who you are to lead all right y'all still with me okay now watch this because the when we talk about the meism most remember I told you before the marriage most teaching is a deep teaching but we can sum the meism most up in Jesus Christ in he in in Luke chapter 12 just write it down because I want to get somewhere y'all haven't started my clock yet that now that's a father's day gift that I appreciate but I just don't want y'all looking at me crazy later amen and saying pastor no I'm going by what I see up there I don't see nothing so don't fix it don't fix it leave it alone it's all good with Matthew chapter listen in in Luke I'm sorry in Luke don't go there just write this down Luke 12:51 the Bible says Jesus says suppose you that I am come to give peace on earth he says I tell you no I came to watch this rather I came for division that division he came for division what's the division I came to take things apart not put things together why because if you put the wrong piece with the together with the wrong piece you still got a bigger problem so what I've come to do is separate so we could properly identify and put it back together again the way it should be put together in Matthew chapter 16 Jesus asked his disciples "Who do who do men say I the son of man am?" And y'all know the paricipe they go to this they say "Thou art." Some say you're this some say you're that and then Peter said "Thou art the Christ the son of the living God." Jesus said "Flesh and blood has not revealed it unto you but my father." Because revelation comes from the father but then in chapter 17 about six days later the Bible says Jesus taketh Peter James and John up apart he took them up apart on the mountain now why did he take them up apart because if you don't allow him to take you up apart then you will fall to pieces in the valleys of life and where we have a whole lot of people can't survive valleys because you don't want to go up and be taken apart we want them to take us up we just don't want them to take us apart does this make sense and so so even technology watch this most stuff we have now most of the stuff you have today if it breaks there is no hope you you know what I'm saying remember when you used to just take it take that watch to the to the to the to the to the watch to the jeweler and they would take it apart and fix it and put it back together again as as good as new now you get these iPhones these Androids it's if it's broke they tell you "We get you a new one." Well you can't you fix it it wasn't designed to be taken apart now I'm going somewhere that has parts in it but it wasn't designed to be taken apart unfortunately it looks a lot like people you can't We listen God created you for the purpose of taking you apart to continually always work on you to make you better that's why the scripture says watch this Christ in what is he doing he's working he's getting it together but if I take on the mindset of I'm good and this is the problem i take on the mindset that I'm good he can never get better out of you y'all still with me so what does it say it says in Hebrews chapter 4 notice this because we're talking about the soul i want a I my goal today is to apply pressure to your soul oh wow i'm telling you because that pneumaticose man has to rise to the top and lead hallelujah amen so watch this hebrews 4:12 again the word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword now the next word says piercing right now that word piercing what we're dealing with piercing it's the cut well the meism most of the piercing is simply this the word of God goes forth with an incision it comes and finds out because it's sharper than any sword piercing even to the divine of sunder of soul and spirit the soul and the spirit are so close together they are so close together it's like what the old song said there's a thin line between love and hate the line between soul and spirit is thinner than that wow so it takes the word of God to precise it so it comes in with incision it cuts in But what is it cutting in for it comes the the incision is the cut in with precision to deal with the exact is issue right that needs to be dealt with but he never I know this is going to mess with some of y'all Savannah he doesn't take it out he cuts it he comes in he deals with it he I He with precision he shows you where it's at now you have the decision to let him have it and the reason watch this the reason some of us still smoking because you keep on telling him to take it and he said "I'm not a thief i didn't force that cigarette in your mouth and I'm not going to force it out of your mouth when you're ready let me let me reveal it to you i'll show you your issue and until you cast it upon me it's still going to be yours." And so a lot of us are mad at God because he won't fix us the way we determine we should be fixed this is how God fixes you he shows you your problem he said "You see the problem?" You say "I see it." He said "Can I have it?" No I'm good i I'll I'll work it out later god I'm always amazed at people that stay at home because they fixing it they working some stuff out i ain't seen you while I was at home working on some stuff really wow wow so you have a spiritual workshop in your in your bedroom you understand but you didn't miss one episode of your favorite show while you was at home working on something you still know how many points old boy had last night while you was at home working on something but but you don't know what the preacher said cuz you at home working on something this is our issue we're That's That's proof that I'm not pneumatic that my spirit is not leading 1 Corinthians chapter 14 i'm sorry chapter 15 oh can I get deep i only have a few minutes already boy they fixed that clock quick i don't know if they look like they fixed it and caught up you know man y'all could have started where it was just started that look like y'all skipped some time on it but it's okay i'll deal with you later amen watch this watch this first Corinthians 15 this is amazing to me i hope y'all Okay did y'all bring your big boy your big boy uh shoes today cuz I we going deep man strap this thing up this is one this is a just a We're about to It's like that old colossus at Magic Mountain is that where that thing at that rickety that roller coaster yeah if you're not careful you hurt your necks today i'm telling you because this is this I want I am I want to put pressure on your soul today i want I I know it may sound crazy don't y'all get mad at your preacher i want to hear some ouching today because because you've been letting that soul have just a little too much say so in your day-to-day decisions i I I need some pressure i I need to get myself back to where I'm in control now watch this 1 Corinthians chapter 15 watch this now verse 45 it says "And so it is written." Are you there 1 Corinthians 15:45 and so it is written now do not read too fast or you'll put stuff there or remove stuff that shouldn't be put or removed because it says also I mean and so it is written watch this the first man Adam was made a living soul okay the last Adam was made a quickening spirit the first man Adam first man Adam we already know who was the first man Adam that's who God created in the garden the first man Adam it says the first man Adam was made a living soul first man Adam that's Adam in the garden the word Adam what does it mean dust bread dirt he came from the dirt adam adam y'all still here yes sir he was made a living soul but then it says the last now some people erroneously say the second if he's the second then there's room for the third it was the first and the last if he's the last Adam how many atoms follow the last Adam none so the last Adam was made a quickening spirit but again what does the word Adam mean because remember in John chapter one the word says the word rather was with God the word was God and everything that was created was created by him nothing that nothing that has been created was not created without him but verse 14 John 1:14 says "And the word was made flesh." So what does that mean the word had to put him be housed in an Adam had to have a body does this make sense so the last Adam was a quickening spirit but to dwell on earth he still needed a body is this y'all still here now I know it sounds deep but I need you to get this because watch this the very next verse verse 46 y'all still there watch this it says verse 46 "How be it that was not first which is spiritual but that which is natural and afterward that which is so another way of saying it first the natural then the spiritual." Pastor why you tell so many stories because I want you to see it naturally then when I turn the corner y'all get quiet y'all laugh at the natural then when I turn the corner and make it spiritual you like "Dog he talking about me i was talking about you in the natural you just didn't get it you was laughing you understand first the natural first the natural why because the first man Adam was natural is this making sense first the natural right first the natural y'all got that first the the natural then So here here's what it happens it says then the spiritual then the pneumaticose so when we think about Marismos I want you to think about who's in control of your life the spiritual or the natural because who was first the natural now y'all got too too slow on that answer who was first the natural don't go all the way back to Genesis chapter 3 because I mean Genesis chapter 2 cuz if you go that far back you'll miss it because none of us none of us none of us are Genesis chapter 2 people every one of us came after Genesis chapter 3 what happens in Genesis chapter 3 the fall of man from the moment man fell he stopped being spiritual so everyone that came through his loins came natural now we've got to go find spiritual living does this make sense so people say I'm you know I remember years ago so I we were doing a I remember uh we had a a one of our marriage retreats was at the end of the try and we explaining stuff God's original tent so one brother you know I love it when people help me preach i don't need your help but you know what I'm saying and he says "So what you're saying is we got to get back to the garden or whatever that some song they had out at the time back to Eden." I said "No I ain't saying that don't tell me what I'm saying i ain't saying that that's a song that's a song you can't get back to Eden in your flesh that's your problem you get back to Eden we going to be repeating Genesis 3 over and over and over again you can't go back to Eden if you ain't went back to the to the to the cross and get this spirit man in the place where he needs to be going back to Eden the way we are we in trouble that's why God put him out now why why is this so so important because if it's the spiritual that follows the natural why are we struggling to just be spiritual watch this because I do what comes natural natural to me not spiritual yes sir yes sir y'all still here because natural the word natural excuse me in the Greek is sukicos sukikos the the word soul is suk now it sounds especially if you when you spell it out if you replace the U with a Y what do you have psyche psyche what do we What do we have when I was a kid uh William when we was younger you know we used to say psych remember you can't say that no more you can't say that no more psych that mean you know I was playing but now everybody got a psychiatrist and a psychologist everybody's got a psych something why because we are we have finally discovered our issue but we don't know how to address it correctly the issue is my psyche right talking out the side of your neck giving people a piece of your mind sight all of that psyche what's the problem the problem is that's soulish so I've been seeking help for my soul so I can remain natural watch this William i'm tired of Regina you know what I'mma do i'm going go find somebody to love me for me it's like who this this Ramona she just accept me the way I am and Ramona looked at me and we both said "Sych come on she accept you the way you are now she ain't seen what Regina seen oh but she gonna see it yes sir then Ramona going to be replaced by the fifth wife now finally I found someone that she can't see bro them glasses thick as coke bottle i just can't see you she can't see you she can't feel you the reason she accept you she tired of she tired of being looked for and you tired of chasing psych because I kept trying to satisfy the natural man yes instead of realizing the natural man has an appetite that will never be satisfied yes sir are y'all here when is enough enough i don't know i ain't got it yet right y'all still here the natural watch this watch this now because here's the issue natural is dealing with the psych or the sucose or the I mean the sukikos the soul the suk so we got pneumaticose spirit is numa right numa p n p n p n p n p n p n p n p n p n p numaticose when we talk about the numa or the n pneumat we're dealing with the spiritual when we talk about psyche or suk we're dealing with the soul so now I have a choice all right this is this is the this is if we were to say you know how Pilate said I find no fault in him talking about Jesus if we were to find a fault in God remotely i mean we got to stretch it but this is the one place we could almost remotely at least present a case to have fault with God you ready i got you on man is the only thing he created that he gave a choice ain't no dogs meowing ain't no cats barking come on ain't no fish walking around the park you know what I'm saying only man and man does everything it can to defy its own human nature because of its natural appetite do you understand this started out with just a blunt and behind the bleachers yes sir messed around got so high laughing hungry all that stuff and then the next blunt was just trying to replicate what the first one did but the blunt didn't do it no more so we go from the blunt to the line then we discover this other little thing and then we start dipping stuff now i mean literally you can't even go buy laundry from the from the grocery store i mean without them asking they got to go get a key why you got this like who would steal this they they making drugs with it

Can you imagine why you ask me to pray why Why ain't your cousin say "Oh that that go that." Yeah that yeah my cousin y'all you know he weird man he love Jesus i better move on baby got too quiet got too quiet push pause on that thing you there no pause on it praise the Lord because y'all got quiet i want make sure y'all got that go to Romans chapter 8 let me see this because what's the problem what's the problem what's the problem what's the problem the soul what's the problem soul the soul now here's the problem with the problem the problem with the problem i go to people with the same problem to get the answer for my problem i go to a psychologist to help me with my problem now I'm not knocking it don't get me wrong somebody asked me you know they with mental illness well should I take the pill i said if they gave you high blood pressure medicine shouldn't you take it if you need to take Xanax or whatever it is if it's prescribed I'm not against that don't don't hear what I'm not saying mental illness is real but everybody ain't crazy there it is sir and I I know this going to sound real good this is this is this is from a college student you know this is from a college and everybody ain't possessed by a devil either you ain't crazy you ain't possessed you just carnal that's what it is did I leave you hanging i'm sorry i get it i mean Happy Father's Day you ain't You ain't crazy you carnal you don't read your Bible but you ain't miss as the world turn is that still on i don't know which one you ain't miss guy miss Chandler feel like she part of your house i went way back i don't know these then they got a new one with all black folk in it or mostly black folk and then y'all watching that one i'm like now y'all know that ain't real and y'all still into it oh it's good though the story line is good do you know I was reading in the Bible the other day the story line of Saul i just can't I just I get caught up in the words how do you know it's 1,500 characters on them dog on soap opers they all look alike cuz they all got they all got the skin peeled back they all the the white ones are the white ones are tan and the black ones are got long flowing hair and yet and still they say "Well which one is that?" No that ain't I told you that ain't Dr jones that's his brother remember he owned the landscaping business when was the last time you watched it oh I'm in the house but simple things in the Bible well I thought I thought I thought uh well why did he change his name wait a second was Simon But but Simon had leprosy that's what the Bible says simon the leper peter had leprosy the Bible doesn't say Peter had there's more than one person named Simon you don't read your Bible well enough there's more than one character on on the show named John you know which one is which but you see Simon all the way in the Old Testament you think Peter didn't still he didn't he didn't live from Jonah's day so you know Simon was Jonah's grandson cuz it say son of Jonah you know that's why Jesus made the reference to the whale cuz he's Jonah's grandson you're trying to make the word watch this natural that's why so many people struggle with interpretation of scripture because I will not go beyond natural interpretation i ain't forgiven because it don't make sense to me you don't know what they did to me that makes more sense are y'all in Romans chapter 8 watch this watch this i started to call this the defensive line but I ain't because we got to deal with something romans 8:14 you'll see why I said in a minute romans 8:14 notice what it says for as many as are For as many as are led by led by the spirit what does it say for as many as are led by the spirit of God they are the So watch this if it says for as many that as are led by the spirit of God you know what that tells me we could be led by something else you understand so so if if that that lends that leans to that everyone that's saved Dylan is not spiritled right i'm heaven bound but I'm not spirit led is this making sense so so watch this now go to go to uh go to Galatians chapter 5 because God God watch this god is spirit we've already settled that right but now how does he communicate with me god by his spirit wants to lead me by my spirit have you ever wondered why it seems like God ain't answering why it seems like he's taking so long because he's communicating to your spirit but your spirit is dormant god never speaks to or sits and converses with your natural man he not doing it he not doing it you mad at your wife and y'all been married too long to tell me you ain't never been mad at her so you be you get mad at your wife and then old as you are with great grandchildren and great great grandchildren you still had a nerve to act like one of them and pout and go in the other room i'm just thinking what I No I'm joking but she like "Yep you you must been in my house last week." But you pout and go another room and what does God do does he meet you at your pout and console you he checks you and he said "Boy what's wrong with you?" You keep on telling the man to line up and you in here acting like a baby well God I don't want to hear that that's what he says yes sir and until you stop pouting he stops speaking so the reason some of y'all haven't heard God in a long time you better hear me and this is real sir because that that every moment I spend in my flesh is a moment I'm not being led by the spirit yes sir you better catch this and I can't afford William i can't afford to be out in the street this these streets are crazy racism is real sexism is real stupidity is on tilt i cannot afford to be in the store in my flesh because I might say something that I'm going to be repenting for for the rest of the day wow i've been mistreated i'm looking at folk they looking at me like I'm like "What's wrong with you?" And everything in here wants to just come out and then I hear the Holy Ghost say told somebody just listen what do we do you pray for them i don't feel like praying it don't matter what you feel fulfill is a feel is a part of your soul it has nothing to do with how you feel pray for them wow i don't know what to pray father forgive them that's good they don't know what they're doing he don't know who I am that brother don't know who who I am that's right it ain't time for me to tell you excuse me tell Pastor I had had a situation with a hotel y'all be Y'all think I be just I guess y'all think I just get up go to my Bible go pray and then just talk to the Lord and then go to sleep i have life like you amen sir we traveling and and the hotel was deplorable so I told Pas I ain't gonna trip they gonna send me a survey and when I get it I'mma voice my I voiced my opinion on the survey and sent it in and the doctor come back with a little Well thank you Mr pool and and all d and then um I told her I said "Babe I don't like this response so I'm gonna send I'm gonna send her another email." And I did i mean I'm saved i ain't stupid come on y'all so I sent another email and and they sent me the exact email back i said "It's auto this brother ain't even read my email." Then my flesh was like "And you ain't tell them you ain't Mr pool." Y'all laughing see you better believe i like hold up and then you going to disrespect me but then immediately he don't know who you are he don't know what he's doing he don't realize the calamity he's going to catch this week is because he looked down light low and little on you i don't want no unnecessary calamity life is rough listen I don't need no flat tires cuz I look like low and little of my my clar she too loud then you wonder why your washer broke the devil the devil the devil ain't the devil touch not my anointed hello somebody watch this watch this listen i got to go i got to go i need y'all to go somewhere though go to Galatians chapter 5 because Romans says "For as many as are led by the spirit of God they are the sons of God." Galatians chapter 5 y'all okay yes sir i'm almost there babe i I had to check and see because I told you why I was going to call this defense watch this romans 5:18 watch what it says now romans 5:18 are you there i'm sorry galatians galatians i'm sorry galatians 5:18 please forgive me galatians 5:18 it says "But if you be led," there it is again "Leading being led by the spirit of God is optional." If you be led by the spirit you're not under the law why so many Why so many Christians so condemning because I'm not spiritled everything is the letter of the law you can't sit there pastor said "No one can sit there." Well did you discern it he didn't say discern i told the Holy Spirit "Be quiet i got an assignment." I told y'all before most of us in here would have killed Isaac just like that why cuz God said do it don't tell me God don't god told me and he also told you not to he told you to stay your hand you rebuke that because you heard what he said last time but if you're being led by the spirit you'll be able to know the spirit said this yeah yeah then the spirit said that he didn't change his mind he's just doing who he is you understand and what we do is we miss God and watch this this is sad but I got to go back we miss God more the second time because we hanging on what he said the first time yes sir we're so convinced it had to be God god told me to get married but he didn't tell you to her i'm serious but you won't get a divorce now cuz pride ain't going to let you leave that thing cuz God hates divorce god hates sin yes he does are y'all still here yes sir but the law says he hates divorce but watch this the law also says that he hates fornication y He don't say that it says an abomination he hates lying uhhuh do you still love me you know I do you're lying liar y'all so quiet i'm going to come back up here i'm sorry i done lost I done lost some of y'all just I would you know I ain't I ain't I don't really care about y'all sleeping but just tell your neighbor wake up because I think I lost some of y'all right there galatians Galatians says if ye now Genesis chapter 2 I got 10 minutes or so it's Father's Day it ain't like y'all taking them nowhere to eat you know what I'm saying come on don't look at me strange you know the the Come on William she get She get T-bone steak potatoes she even get her sparkling cider all of that the kids didn't messed up and burnt the cake everything you got a card and a and a TV dinner with a candle stuck in it i'm in the wrong house ain't y'all she got a coach purse and you got a pair of socks not y'all okay just checking just checking just checking just check it cuz brothers be like "Pastor hurry up it's Mother's Day i got resmizations." Ain't nobody looking at their watch on Father's Day we ain't got nothing to do watch this you going to go home and you going to fire up the grill what you want bae what you want you know I can't fix that that That ain't true no sir it's true not at my house not at Not at that house either no sir jar you better You better hear these brothers you still young now you ain't got your Father's Day is coming don't blow that son don't blow that don't blow that but anyway let me move on i I I got my laughter genesis chapter 2 i need y'all to see something then I need Please don't miss this i had to wake you up because y'all was dozing on me the natural man be getting tired when you talking about correction about the natural man all if I entertain the natural man he's alert sir I'm I promise you I'm not making this up how many people now some of us do sleep during movies you know if if they ain't if somebody ain't dead within the first credits she gone i'm serious if it's one of them buildup movies cancel it cancel it but you know some people at church as soon as the music stops that's why we need a hoop and preacher to keep us engaged that's why we keep the the organ player over there just to keep I'm y I'm saying why because we've allowed church to become watch this a place to keep your soul alert how many of surgery my brother you you so you when you had surgery on your shoulder I can relate right but when we had surgery even on your shoulder they put you out why because they got to make an incision and the last thing I need you doing is moving while I'm trying to fix your problem [Applause] y'all laughing come on now come on how many of y'all been to movies lately i know y'all go often you You took it lately don't look at me like that man you still in P you still pouting okay man he looking at me like I'm still bothered by the room no okay but but you understand what I'm saying when you go to the movies how how many people get up and be walking around boy folk be and they hate when they got to when was the last time you're in church from start to finish and nobody moved we used to at least somebody going to walk that's why usher's always on the door then people get mad y'all was mad at the preacher taking out of context saying close the door well we say that all the time we used to didn't have to say it because you knew not to walk during the offering during prayer and reading of the word that's the offering he said "Close the door." Why you got to say that during the offering cuz folk could care less it's church wow that natural man going to do what he Y'all quiet again isn't this amazing only in church does my soul get uncomfortable i start thinking about did I turn did I turn the roast on oh my that was the Holy Ghost that's the Holy Ghost i better go out let me let me go out you know what that's your soul why i don't want you to catch what might help you be spiritual all week are y'all in Genesis chapter 2 you there watch this now verse seven and the Lord God formed man of the dusted ground right and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life formed him breathed into his nostrils breath of life and what happened and man became a living soul now I haven't told you to write nothing down but write this down okay man has one nature two lives how many oh that's my my other sin nature this man has one nature i need you to get this they probably ain't gonna be able to get past this part because this I need you to get man has how many one nature two lives one nature two lives two lives one nature y'all I'll explain it you just make sure you you okay if you got to say it to yourself one nature why everything has one nature everything has one nature man is man woman is woman right god never intended watch this the reason he created you that way because he never intended for your soul to be in control he formed man from the dust of the ground breathe into his nostrils the breath of life and he became the last thing he became a living soul he was already a spirit one nature after the fall the life that he had was lost he didn't get a new nature he started operating in his other life so that means when we were born we were born in the fallen life so when you got saved you didn't get a new nature you got a new life that's why it's called born again again except a man be born again well what do you mean i gota be Nicodemus confused because he's thinking natural how am I an old man going to get back into my mother's womb and be born again no he said you're missing it i'm talking spiritual you're a teacher of the law and you don't understand spiritual things and so what we do is say well alcoholism run in my family how long you've been saved how are you no I'm not saying it don't divorce ran in my family i I promise you I don't have the time i I promise you Jarius let me talk to you because I'm serious before I got I told the L I before I got saved we used to joke you know brothers daydream just like women stop tripping we be dreaming but I I my my goal and I was serious about it i'm not going to get married i used to say this until I can afford a divorce say why would you say that my daddy divorced my uncle divorced my granddaddy divorced i thought it was normal my my uncle sitting right there i had two of everything i had I had my grandpa Hatchet i never met my father's dad because he was he died before I was born but I had two grandpas on my dad's side on my mama's side i had two grandmas on my dad's side y'all ain't talking back to me on my mama's side i had two great grandmas my great-grandfather had two so to me divorce runs through my family so I literally used to say "I ain't going to get married until I can afford that divorce." Then I got saved and I said "The buck stops here." You understand me well pastor you don't understand everybody in my house was an addict when'd you get saved talk to us sir see this is why y'all be thinking I'm be mad at you i'm not mad at you i just get tired of trying to have a spiritual conversation with your nature you keep on giving me all these natural problems you told me you were saved though why we keep talking about that [Music] y'all mad at that one i can tell I messed with you right there some of you got bothered just from that statement but why are you bothered why do you have a problem with your flesh didn't you get saved pastor just why you always got to go there why don't I mean why do we have to leave there what do you mean go there why we got to leave there you were saved yesterday why we got to go back and remind you today what you were yesterday weren't you aren't you still saved it's amazing you don't go to the gym and forget where the weight room is no you don't y'all quiet but I'm serious because this is our issue we've been living carnal and thought we were spiritual cuz we read our Bible sometimes cuz we pray for five minutes our nature our natural man is straight running our life that's why some of you and don't get mad at me have yet to even say one prayer for the government of the United States because you don't like who's in office that's natural the scripture didn't say pray if you like them i'm sorry i'm go I mess with a Okay now I need the clock to hurry up and be done so I Genesis chapter 3 i'mma close with this adrian chapter 3 verse 7 it's this is what be getting me so when when you when I was in the military we would I hated them meetings i hated them you know you sitting there and they just But boy I tell you you want to get promoted you better tell me what we was talking about only in church do we promote longevity i feel like walking straight down the aisle i've been here 20 years okay we're going to make you a deacon if we added up the times you've been in your word since you've been here you've been here two years y'all ain't talking back to me genesis chapter 3 verse number seven and the eyes of them now this is after they ate he ate she ate and verse seven says "And the eyes of both of them were open and they knew that they were naked." Why is that so important because they already were naked but they were spiritual so their nakedness was nothing to be ashamed of cuz I know silly you don't have no pets do you well Miss Kim Kim you got a cats right they naked right now they ain't tripping you got clothes on your cats i gota be careful let me ask a man cuz men don't dress their dogs and stuff y'all sisters y'all be putting clothes on the on take them clothes off diapers on the dog and all that kind you know what I'm saying let me talk to somebody william your dog naked naked and not ashamed you know why your dog is never fallen cuz your dog was never given instruction that they had a choice to make naked and not ashamed now they're naked and they know it how do you know it because my natural eye has been opened now that my natural eye is opened even though I'm created in his image and after his likeness oh I feel this i don't like what I'm seeing my fat nose i'm too short i'm too tall look how dark I am i don't like what I see because I'm still natural and the eyes of them both were opened and they were what naked and they sewed fig leaves together and made them apron emphasis on self they made them so why fig leaves probably the biggest leaf in the garden what they do with the fig leaves they covered up what they were ashamed of it's like when you go to work tomorrow and you don't tell nobody that you had good time at church because that's what I'm ashamed of i'm preaching now now that's the apron that's the apron when your friends at school cuz she said we've known each other for 43 years how many of y'all know I grew up in Mother Pool House you know you don't miss church if you don't know ask somebody you don't miss church she met me in in in August of 1983 82 15 i never missed a service she didn't know I went to church cuz every Monday sitting in class right next to her I ain't telling you about Jesus i was ashamed cover that up it ain't cool to be saved cover that up i'm talking to some of you grown folk cover that up how I'm gonna justify this beer in my hand cover that up god is good all the time the whole world says that so let me just say what the world say about God less I stand out and run the risk of being ashamed they were naked they was ashamed of what God created so they covered it up with big leaves and right now I gotta I gotta put my dot dot dot okay it's like Mission Impossible coming back with like faith we g next week we g it won't self-destruct as long as y'all don't burn it up now don't don't don't y'all throw this away but watch this and I can't do it next week because next week is men's car but but when I come back when I give me another Sunday I'm gonna come back i can't mess with it on Wednesday because I'm like I'm enjoying on Wednesdays too but when I come back I got to pick this back up because I want you to think about this they were naked and ashamed and they covered what God created because they didn't like what it looked like because that for the first time in their creation they saw things naturally because as crazy as Donald Trump is I didn't say he crazy but as crazy as he is if he was just a shade darker many of you would give him a pass period just because of what i can't get no help now i can't get no help y'all still here how is it he said "Well pastor I don't I ain't talking about politics obama ain't do nothing for you either." And you know Martin Luther King even God forbid but hear me martin Luther King didn't do nothing for you obviously because you still don't vote you don't pull your pants up and wear a belt so obviously you don't like that either you understand but my point of it is this we what we don't like and guess what we covering up i gotta go you're still going to give him pastor village you still go take care of him today right it's Father's Day okay okay you good sir you're good i'm just checking because you know you've been you've been a little off ever since we But watch this what did they cover up what did they cover up they made aprons and covered up what they covered up self when's the last time I closed yes when's the last time you met the real person whose hand you shook that's why so many people even now get tripped up when they say "Oh I really like that you thought I could introduce myself with figs leaves on." I remember I I've been 6'2 since I was 15 years old yes sir when she met me I was 6'2 and I weighed about 148 pounds legs about that big born and raised in Las Vegas and in the summer whenever I went out not around my friends but if I went out I put pants on cuz I was ashamed of my legs and my mama got her foot cut off y'all ain't talking back to me and I realized I'm ashamed of what some people wish they had so now only y'all hold it only I don't wear shorts to meetings now it's because I'm the pastor and I don't want y'all to lose it and then come up and he'll look in some kind of way you understand there's a certain decor but but the reason I say that is I used to wear long pants in the hot summer because I was ashamed then I got saved and I realized I'm walking on legs cuz some people got legs can't walk some people can't walk and they got legs and you ashamed are y'all here and so what what what what we find is people say stuff like this i ain't know you was like that because when you met me I had all these aprons on sir walk down the aisle i now pronounce you Mr ms covered Up i don't know what you really are when she met me in high school that's why when we got married I'm telling you I can't when we I said I need when when when God told me she was I said I need to come and see what you look like one because I never looked at you like that i made you my little sister and it's nasty so you're my sister that That's the f But on the other side of it when I the last time I talked to you I wasn't saved i was covered up wow you don't know what the real Rob is like that's why some of y'all get messed up when you finally get to know the real me things like "He ain't have to say it like that i've been saying like this before I got saved i've always just said it i was supposed to lie to you how my hair you know." Hey different you understand it wasn't that color yesterday he ain't had to say that you wore it i'm serious fig leaves all these fig led aprons that we're wearing and God ain't going to deal with you Jada till you take them off god ain't deal that's why we're still carnal William yes sir because God What did he do i got to Y'all listen just stand up stand up this my altar stand we got to go he said in the garden he said he said "Where you at Adam?" Best place to hide by the way I let me throw this out there right quick best place to hide is the place you meet God you'll get it best place to hide for a Christian is in church that way nobody asks where you been just come to church come to church hurry up and get to children's church hello somebody hurry up and get on the parking lot hurry up and be security you wouldn't secure a roach if it crawled around the floor but all of a sudden you secured anything so I'm at church but not in y'all ain't talking back but that's okay that's okay so they were hiding in the place he created for fellowship i'm talking to you right now and the scripture says he said "Adam where you at where are you?" He said "Well I heard you coming." I did i ain't going to lie i heard you i still had a connection my spirit heard you but my flesh now I've got afraid of the voice that used to soothe me he said I heard your voice and I was afraid i make you afraid well I was naked who told you that notice what God said who he didn't say you're not you were but who told you that you was naked yesterday when I came here but we weren't talking about that who you been talking to since I've been gone who you been talking to since last Sunday who told you that who told you that so we find the source and what God did instead of the aprons babe what did he do he had to kill something there had to be a blood sacrifice and he clothed him with a with with the with the with the skin of an animal so God has been having to sacrifice something for me ever since that day so here's the ultimate sacrifice when you going to go ahead and present your body a living sacrifice sacrifice so here's what I want you to do god helping you take the apron off here's what I want you to do god helping you take the apron off because the apron keeps protecting self and self is the problem let's pray father we thank you for your word my prayer God as always is that we didn't just hear it but that we will apply it to our lives and uh even now as we're praying if that word is for you today if you've been walking around covered from head to toe in fig leaved aprons knowing that it's just been a show for you you've never really given your heart to the Lord you just you know enjoy church if that's you I want you to come we want to we want to strip you not listen it's not about an ashamed nakedness that's natural we're talking about stripping you of all the layers that the enemy has put upon you and we keep covering ourselves and covering ourselves and covering ourselves no wonder why it's so hard to walk because I got so much on me but God wants to take it off today if that's you I want you to come you say "Pastor I'm already saved but I'm I'm not going to lie i took my aprons off but I didn't destroy them i still know where they're tucked and every once in a while I find myself putting them back on every once in a while I go right back to the old me it's easier it i I I find myself doing what comes natural instead of what comes spiritual and if that's you I want you to come there might be somebody that said "Pastor I'm looking for a church home i'm looking for a place where I can grow not just fit in but I want to go to be a place where I can get in where I fit in and be a part of what God is doing." And I welcome you to be a part of this family if that's you I I I want you to come as well i'm going to say one more one more thing because there's some listen to me there's some that even now the problem is where the apron is located the problem is some of us have allowed our natural man to cover our eyes i'm not seeing it straight i'm trying to convince myself my crooked life is a straight walk and I know I'm talking to somebody today because even now you're debating whether or not you should come up here but you're trying to see it you're trying to make sense of it it ain't going to make sense it's not going to make sense listen some of us were too old to still be trying to figure out what I should do next you understand what I'm saying and for others listen you're too young to be throwing your life away either way what has happened is you've put the fig leaf apron over your eyes and the only thing you moved by is what looks right to you but God wants to peel that off your face today i'm telling you Jalil God wants you to see it the way he sees it it's amazing come here for a second just come up here just from where you were now turn around it look different up here don't it just And you only took two steps and turned around all you did was take two steps up and turn and it looks totally different going back down there for a second now tell me what has changed about your view turn around look at him you still can't see him like I can now imagine where he is you understand and you've been trying to figure out this life down here so when he said go left left to you don't make sense ain't nothing that way because you're not up here he already see the best way for you is to go left y'all got that GPS they tell you listen road work ahead but you're still on the best route and y'all I ain't going that way why you got it on why are you talking to your phone anyway why you going that way he just told you the best way to go but the best way is not the natural way and because you used to doing what naturally comes to you or what comes naturally to you you are watch this you have become accustomed to asking God to forgive you have you ever thought God wants to put you on the path where this is the day you won't even have to ask for forgiveness cuz you did everything I told you to do i You understand we're so used to repenting we don't even try to do it right no more that's like a bad cook how many times you going to go if every time I'm sorry I burnt it you ain't got to burn it no more i'm finding me somebody else you understand but thank God he'll take it back but I'm telling you now i'm telling you now Jesse we too old man we too you You understand god says "Give me all of it give me all of it so I can show you what you really look like." And I promise you when you see yourself the way he sees you man please oh my goodness man you look a whole lot better than you think you understand let's pray father I thank you for these that are here this morning those that even that oh God I those that are standing that I won't even say should come they know they need to be here but it's as if their feet are are locked in cement i pray before we say amen that they will have the wherewithal to break free from the cemented feet that they have and take that apron off and come and be set free they're not set free because they're standing at this altar they're set free because they stepped out and because you're a demonstrative God Father I thank you that you are meeting them right where they are and I pray God even now that every apron every everything that they've been hiding from you as if you don't see it already everything they've convinced themselves this just the way I am everything that they say "This is just what comes natural to me." I pray God that they would surrender it now and allow you to help them allow you Father to transform their life what I love God if you save me and you did there's not a person in this room you cannot save you told Sarah there's nothing too hard for you you told Mary God that nothing is impossible for you to do what is too hard for you nothing what is What is What is too easy everything God you're God so I pray that you meet them right where they are help them to make the right decisions help them to not walk by eyesight God but walk by insight help them to understand what you want them to do is be pneumatic not suk but pneumatic spirit led and because we're led by the spirit we thank you that your spirit would lead us right to you every single time i pray that you would fill them up with all the fullness of your joy so that when they leave this room today they'll know that they've been with Jesus and there'll be nothing to cover up we take them off and we give you the praise for it hallelujah in Jesus name amen amen hallelujah hallelujah listen I gotta stop i want to keep going i promise you but I I got to stop we got to let y'all go i I can't I can't I can't end it Robert without at least saying this the altar's closed the altar's closed and I don't want y'all to miss it the altar's closed they're going to stand behind you and be praying with you in just a moment but I I And Miss Kathy come on now you know I I'm not into numbers that don't move me but I'm telling you I can't shake the Bible says the day that you hear my voice harden not your heart and and I'm and now Pastor Sheila say I pray for y'all and you know what I've got to do Jasmine i've got to go into prayer override because or overdrive rather because I know there's people that the Holy Ghost said go up there and I didn't go now the danger is not that you didn't because it's just that's that's a walk or not but the danger is me saying no to him opens me up to everything the enemy is going to get me to say yes to so this is not a bad confession don't miss it i'm praying for you i promise you I'm praying for you but for some it's going to be a hellacious week Robert and you're going to be trying to figure out why is all this happening and God's going to remind you remember that preacher told you go up to that altar and you told him you was good i'm just letting these things happen in your life to remind you you're not that good you need me and next time if he should tear his current I give you the opportunity to get up there you need to be the first one it ain't about me it ain't for me it's about us being set free amen father we thank you as we prepare to go from this place and not your presence we pray that you would go with us and keep us we do thank you for being our heavenly father but we also thank you for our natural fathers for our spiritual fathers thank you for our uncles and our grandfathers and and the men that stepped in and was as a father to us all of us are grateful and thankful and even for the person who may have had a horrible experience with their father especially for the men I pray God that rather than repeating what they went through that they would learn from it and purpose to be a better dad purpose to be a man of God purpose to be one who would lean on Jesus and not on themselves now as we go from this place tonight your presence go with us keep us watch overs and protect us and God we continue to give you all the praise the glory and the honor in Jesus name name amen amen love on somebody y'all would turn around somebody wants to minister to you happy Father's Day brothers
