 Kanye West's Twitter and Instagram accounts have been locked because of anti-semitic posts by the rapper. A spokeswoman for Twitter says West's account has been restricted for violating its policies. Separately, Instagram's parent company Metta is saying in a statement it places restrictions on accounts that repeatedly break its rules. Both accounts are still active, but West will not be able to post or comment for an undisclosed period of time. Something that we really don't take into account often, maybe as often as we should, is really the mental faculties of the people that we listen to, that we talk about. There are a lot of people out there who aren't together mentally. Now, before I go there, let's think about something. I'm not sure of the exact stats, but I'm going to be sorted in the ballpark, I guess, or just thereabouts. If we go back 30, 40, 50 years, there was a point in time in our country's history. We had about 500,000 people who were in what we would call then these insane asylums. People who just weren't fit to be by themselves or it was not safe for them to be around the public. We would have them taken care of or put away. Granted, the issue was for many of them that the conditions of where they were may not have been humane. I'll leave that for another argument, but the fact is though, there were people who just were deemed not safe either for themselves or for the public for them to be out in public. We don't have that many people in these places anymore. Keeping in mind the fact that we've got a lot more people that live in this country and it seems to be a lot more people who might have more mental issues. I won't even get into why that might be why we seem to have more people who have more mental issues. You know, maybe I will. Maybe I will. I just I just thought about on the fly. Who knows? I might. I might. Now, what I do want to say is in no way shape or profession am I making an attempt to make a professional, how do I put it, a professional statement. I cannot tell you with these people particularly where they are mentally and I would even conclude that all of the people that I'm talking about today are not mentally defective in some way shape or fashion that they don't have a mental illness. Of course truth be told, I guess if we're all to be put under on the couch, so to speak, a psychologist, a psychiatrist, if they were to examine us, I'm pretty sure that most of us, if not all of us, would come back with some sort of diagnosis. So that being said, I would I would venture to say that just in just a general way of speaking, I don't think that all people that I'm talking about today actually have some sort of mental diagnosis that we need to look at. But they might. They might. Sometimes that might actually be the the reason for some of the behaviors. But I want to look at more than that. I want to look at something else other than some sort of mental diagnosis. There are a lot of reasons why people might come across appearing to be mentally defective, having some sort of issues incapable, mentally speaking. I'm trying to find the right words because, you know, nowadays you can't say certain words. You can't say them the way we used to say them. And so y'all forgive me if I'm if I find myself looking for the the proper term. I don't want to say what I want to say because somebody's going to say something, although the likelihood of me saying something that might be a little bit offensive to somebody later on. The odds are probably high for a good reason. You'll you'll see. Now, if you have been paying attention and it's kind of hard not to at least see something that goes by you on YouTube or Facebook or some social media platform where you didn't. OK, that's interesting. None of these people have I really kind of done a real deep dive into. And even now I'm not I'm only going to go but so far. But there's a bigger issue because their issues, their antics, their behavior, that's not really the issue. That's not really the main issue. We'll get into it in just a little bit. And so I'm not speaking of people who actually had an actual mental disability, who have a mental disability. I'm not really speaking of them. I'm speaking of the people who don't have a mental disability. But look that way and come across that way, who are in the church doing things in the church, who have infiltrated the church and the church seems not to really want to care about it. When you look at this person, Kanye West and listen, I'm not a I wouldn't say I'm a fan or not a fan. I don't know anything about Kanye West's music. I could probably name one song. That's the song that came out a long time ago, that Jesus Walk song that lets you know if if you were to give me a Kanye West song right now, just give me the lyrics or let me hear it. I would I would not know it's him. But I know of who he is. He's the guy Kanye West has gone back and forth on a lot of different things. He's the guy who was so against anything Republican. Remember, he's the guy that called Bush a racist because of Katrina, because he didn't respond fast enough for Katrina. But now he is pro-Trump. So he kind of goes back and forth. And there might actually be some sort of mental issue there, though I'm probably going to contend that he's probably not as mentally off as people think. There's something else at play and it's it's not just affecting him, but it's affecting the body at large. And that's the whole point of all of this. And so obviously, I want to play a clip. He did a recent interview with Tucker Carlson. And so I want to play a little bit of this and then prepare to give my my understanding of what's happening. But is West crazy? You can judge for yourself as you watch what we're about to show you. He has his own ideas. We can say that creative people tend to. That's why there are artists, not actuaries. His free form social media posts give the impression of a man channeling his rawest emotions right onto Instagram. The effect can be jarring and it's often used as ammunition against him in the battle for influence over the minds of America's young people. And that battle is intense. But something that he said is also important. He talked about the battle of influence over the minds of young people. But it's not just young people. It's not just young people. It's just people in general, because there are a lot of people that are buying. I guess he's got a clothing line that's pretty expensive. It's not just kids that are buying that stuff. And it's not just kids that are listening to him and following him or following his ex-wife. Everybody's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. There's a lot of people, not just him, who are listening, who he has some influence with. And that becomes a problem because, again, we're not speaking of him. We're speaking of the entire body. Now, do I believe that Kanye West is a Christian? He calls himself one. Do I believe he's one? It's kind of hard to say he is. It really is kind of hard for him to say he is because some of his actions, some of his antics, because you produce a gospel video or song or album. And then you go hang out with Smile and Joe down at Lakewood. Those aren't the things that you necessarily want on your resume to say, hey, listen, I really am a Christian because of that. No, it's going to end up that we have to see all these different things that we're sitting in, in judgment, hey, you're a Christian. But then you go and produce. What did you produce the video or wrote the song or whatever for the guy, Lil Nas X? How do you do that? But that being stated, do I think that he's a Christian? It's kind of hard to say so. I mean, you all let me know what you think. But your fruit ain't looking so godly. That's all I can say. But crazy? That was not our conclusion. In fact, we've rarely heard a man speak so honestly and so movingly about what he believes. But again, you can judge for yourself. Here it is. So you just came from Paris Fashion Week. You just landed in the Lanier and still on from it. And there's a photograph on it. What is that? It's a photograph of a baby's ultrasound. Why is that? And then you designed that. Yes. Why? What does that mean? It just represents life and pro life. Now, there are things that he says that make sense. Like, OK, you know what? I can get on board with that. And I've got to put this up. Alton says that he has a Christian school now. Is that anything like Marcus Rogers having a college? I'm just I just wonder. But OK, he's got a Christian school now. Listen, if your child is looking for a great education, might I suggest that you don't go there? But let's get back to it. Boy, so you wear it on a badge. What kind of response to you? And and I agree. I don't care about people's responses. I care about the fact that there's more black babies being aborted than born in New York City at this point. That 50 percent of black death in America is abortion. So I really don't care about people's responses. I perform for an audience of one and that's God. I'm sorry. I'm starting to see why they want to make you be quiet. OK. And so what he just said, that makes sense. But you know what? Don't go to Kanye, I can get behind that. And you got people say, man, I like that guy, Kanye. He makes he makes good sense. And what he said was, listen, it's true, it's alarming. And we should get behind that. But we should get behind that, not him. Sometimes the message is tainted because of the messenger. The movement can be spoiled by who's driving the bus. Kanye, we don't need to drive anything. And all of a sudden, now he becomes for some people the flavor of the month and what happens is, and this is what kind of this one going somewhere, we listen to people and we make them useful pawns or they are beneficial to what we are doing. Now, you've got people who want to jump on Kanye's back and ride with Kanye. But then Kanye decides that he wants to come out with some anti-semitic stuff. We'll cover that in a second. And you got some people that want to use Kanye West. We'll talk about the White Lives Matter t-shirt, just un poquito, just a little bit. But talk about something that White Lives Matter t-shirt with Candace. The nage very well did it. Now, you're going to find more than likely her distancing herself. But the issue is this. We lay hold of people too quickly or because we think that they're useful. What happens is if you if someone feels like they have the support of other people and they feel and sense people rallying around them, especially in this case, where they're already celebrities and people are asking for their autographs and taking pictures and so forth. They listen, that makes you feel good. Can I tell you all a little quick little story? When I was in college at the Great School, Texas Tech University, I was a sophomore. I think it was a sophomore. I was a sophomore. Yeah. And we was doing a Bible study at my at my my college apartment. And I remember having talked to this one young lady and I was covering Matthew and telling her, you know, not to worry and so forth. And I guess the way I said it, she liked it. She cried a little bit. Said, that was great. We ought to have a Bible study every week. OK, fine. So we invited a few more people the next week and she said, do that same one. OK, I did the same one and they liked it. Like, man, that was pretty good. Do you know what that did for my ego? Do you know what that did for my ego, for my head just just pumped up? I felt like, man, I'm pretty good at this. I'm going, I'm pretty good at this. And then I did another Bible. The next few Bible studies felt like it felt like that I did and said the right thing. Yep. Now, how do I know I did or didn't? Well, because of their validation. They validated me. Now, were they in any position to recognize or to know if what I said was actually accurate? No, they were just as dumb as I was when it came to the Bible. But they listened to me and it made me feel good. It made me feel good. OK, yeah. And you know what made me think that this might be something where God has blessed me and so I've got this special anointing, this revelation from God. Remember, remember, guys, I started off in the whole charismatic side. And so I've got this special anointing, this revelation coming from God. And it's like, I can't miss. I can listen, I get the firing shots and look the other way and close my eyes. I can't miss a target. That's what that kind of stuff can do to you. You find yourself in this little echo chamber. It's only people giving you and saying to you good things. And you feel like you can do and say no wrong. Same thing with these celebrities. And I mean by celebrities, these so-called Christian celebrities. That's what happens when you when you have a person feeling like he's something special, it goes to his head. Now, if you don't think I'm telling truth, let's bring in a good old Paul. And let's see what Paul says. Paul says in Romans 12, 3, he says, for by the grace given to me, I say to everyone among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has given him. And so Paul is telling us, warning us, listen, don't get too big head. Don't think that you're all of that. Don't think that you're so great. And that's what we have happening. Now, again, I don't know anything about Kanye West, but what does he go by now? Is it is a yay or a yeet? First of all, again, this is just me. This is this is not a biblical thing. This is just a quarry thing. If you're a grown man and you're over 30, you don't need a nickname. OK, now I understand if you recall a nickname growing up, your name is Charles and everyone called you Chuck grown. OK, that's that's different. But but but they call you D Rock or or or whatever. At some point in time, you do have to grow up. That's a whole another story, another subject. But and even to where you get to where you start referring yourself in the third person and seeing yourself a certain way, you become this character, you become this this icon, you really become this cult of personality. And that's what's happening with people like Kanye and some of the other people, because it's not just Kanye, we're going to see. It's not just Kanye West. It's not. Now he feels involved and he feels like he's the smartest guy out there that he knows what somebody said. See Rock's movie, yeah, good case in point. He feels like because he's been told this how great he is. No one's ever, you know, at least lately put him in his place. Kanye, listen, man, you're not calm down, sit down somewhere. No. And then when people do, he feels like others are hating on me. That's the enemy coming at me. That's when someone wants to tell you the right thing, you don't want to hear it because no one ever no one has told you the right thing in a long time. So now that must be that must be Satan. That must be the enemy that can't be of God. And so listen to even in the same interview, something kind of changed, really didn't change. It just is just revealed in this interview with with Tucker Carlson. I really felt like I think I started to really feel this need to express myself on another level when Trump was running for office and I liked him and every single person in Hollywood from my ex-wife to my mother-in-law to my manager at that time to, you know, my so-called friends slash handlers around me told me like if I said that I like Trump, that my career will be over, that my life will be over. They said stuff like people get killed for wearing a hat like that. They threatened my life. They put my life. They basically said that I would be killed for wearing the hat. I had a someone call me last night and said anybody wearing a white lives matter shirt is going to be green lit. And that means that they're going to beat them up if they wear it. And I'm like, you know, OK, green light meeting. There's a level of boldness there. OK, yeah, come get me. Well, listen, that don't don't think you what do we say? Don't think you can't get God. You are not untouchable. How we now we say this. Listen, if you got people that have the that were audacious, audaciously crucified Jesus, they'll come and get him. They'll come get you Kanye. They will come and get you. There's nobody on this planet that respects your life so much that, you know, we can't. Yeah, Kanye said it. So we're going to leave Kanye alone. No, Kanye, you might want to. But again, he feels untouchable. If they can assassinate a president, if they can get if they can get a president, Kanye, they get they can get you. But now I want you to listen to how he responds to people coming at him. What he thinks about himself. You know, you know, God builds warriors in a different way. I don't know if it's because of me being a born in Atlanta and growing up on the south side of Chicago that, you know, he made me for such a such a time like this. It's like with David, you know, he tended to the sheep. But while he was out there, he had to fight all kinds of animals. So when it was time for Goliath to come, you thought because he was a sheep herder that he didn't have the skill set to take down Goliath. And the thing that I have is the position I have my heart. But the number one thing is we have God on our side. I did I do certain things from a feeling I like. I just I just channeled the energy. It just feels right. It's using a gut instinct, a connection with God and just brilliance. So he says, I think that's cute. He said it's just brilliant. It's just me being so brilliant that that's how I can do that. That's how I can do what I can do, guys, because I'm brilliant. That takes a whole lot. And for him to say so, it kind of lets you know really where he is. Now, this is not just emblematic of him. Who thinks that he is so great, so above everything that he can't be told anything when it comes against him. It's not just him. Now, I haven't people have asked me to say something about this lady. I really have not. I didn't want to, but I have to just a little bit, just a little bit, because she's off, she's about herself. As I used to say about the young fellows, the young boys back in day, he smelled himself. She smelled herself. She feels like she is. And if you just notice her latest antics, she thinks she's special. Miss Juanita Bynum really believes that she is really, really great. And she's so. Do you all remember this story that came out about her a few years ago? My assistants come in, they always come into hotel rooms before me. They pray before I come in. They cover furniture with white sheets. That's just me because I don't like to contend with a lot of stuff and people sitting on furniture and having sex on furniture. And that's just the sensitivity that I have. So they cover the chairs or the couch. What she's talking about is when she goes into a hotel, she will have people, her assistants go in there and cover stuff up. It kind of makes sense. You don't want to lay on the sheets and stuff like that or whatever, because who knows who was there before you and what they were doing. OK, OK, I can I can go with that. But she's got this weird routine and she's going to talk about someone who, as she lays her mentionables out, her underwear that someone saw them. It's just weird. Couches with white sheets and they pray in the room and prepare the room for me. And somewhere on the bureau. My God, this is so embarrassing. They would have on the bed. I travel with a blanket that says be still and know that I'm God. And they put that blanket on the bed and my pajamas are laid out on the bed. And then on top of the bureau is all of my underwear, my panties, my stockings, my bra, whatever else I put on is laid out on the bureau. For when I get ready to minister, well, at that point, I was told that the pastor entered my room without me being aware that he had been in my room. And so her deal was someone came in and saw her underwear. And so she canceled the whole conference as she was that she didn't speak because someone saw her underwear. It's these outrageous things that they because they feel entitled like they're celebrities, even amongst people who the majority of people on the planet don't know who she is. Most people in America, most people in you pick a state, any state, pick a city, any city. Most people don't know who she is. Folks in the Christian circle might know she is because she's because she's off. And we hear about her foolishness. And so she ends up doing and saying things that she should not. Now, going back to Kanye, what Kanye did and this is what got him banned, Kanye had he made a post last night that he's going to go Def Con. Matter of fact, what did he say? He says in one post I'm reading from the article. Yee said that he would go Def Con three on Jewish people. OK, so he's going to go in on Jewish people. Now, he also makes a statement that that no one should really be offended. I'm paraphrasing because blacks are Jews. Now, I guess he's been hanging around with the with the black Hebrew Israelites. Kind of you lose it, buddy. You are, as we say, back in the old days, your slip is showing. Kind of you you're coming around. He says, you guys have toyed with me and tried to blackball anyone who ever posed your agenda, he said in that same tweet posted late Saturday, which was removed by Twitter. He also made statements that did he or John Combs, another grown man with a nickname, is being controlled by by the Jews. OK, Kanye, you might want to just just settle down, buddy, settle down. Now, is there are there are some people who might be involved in some things who happen to be Jewish? I'm pretty sure there are just like this and white folks and some black folks and Hispanic folk and Asian folks, but you're making out as though you're kind of getting fair conish on us, where it's the Jews who are who are. And so that's got him in some some problem that's got him in some trouble. And so now you're going to see people who are. Congratulations, Kanye, and hey, I had a boy, Kanye, with the shirts and so forth. They're going to they're going to distance himself. And so but again, this isn't something that you should should be shocked by. It's not like this is that if you thought that Kanye was a model of sound behavior, well, then we've got to talk. We got to talk. Same thing with all these other religious leaders and I'm saying religious leaders, these people who are in in the body who claim to be claim to be leaders in the body. The same things happening here, where they get this big head. They get this feeling that they are entitled. The word that comes to mind, obviously, is they are narcissists. They think that they are something Paul just said, not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to. And so you've got this lady here who you don't say anything to her. You let her continue and let her continue. Even now, obviously, there's going to always be some pushback, but it's the people that are around them, the people that's closest to them, that let them think that no, it's not you, it's them. And so they don't get negative thoughts. They're not told to examine themselves and they never do. And so because of that, they feel like they are OK. Now, when you see what I'm getting ready to play, this legend, this is a person who needs to be avoided. Now, I didn't again, I was asked to cover her. I'm not going to cover her in depth. I'm not of people have. As a matter of fact, where I got where I got this next clip from is from Sister Latanya over at Cure for the Souls Ministry. Go and check out her video. As a matter of fact, she did, I think, two very good pieces on on wanting to buy them. And so make sure you check out her channel. As a matter of fact, if I need to remind myself after this, I'll go ahead and put a link to her channel, to the videos. You can go check these out. But and you'll see I didn't feel I didn't feel like going looking around for I just knew that she had done a pretty good video on her. And you've got to hear what Miss Bynam, the prophetess, what she said, they come in here. And we pray. And we are knowing our hands. And we put the press shows all over. As you can see, the reason why they go in quicker now is because we finally opened it up online. Well, we got that. Now, Miss Ma'am, what she's doing is she's selling some some prayer shawl. And unfortunately, people are buying people are buying these little prayer shawls. And there are a lot of people that are just deceived and we'll talk about the people who are deceived and are being deceived. But there's a lot of people who are who are deceived, who are buying this stuff. And so but I want you to hear what she has to say. And then after I've wrapped them up the altar and an overnight express now and they will come in here and put all the press shows, which we're getting ready to refill the altar and in order to get them off this altar. I have to come in here and anoint my hands and personally take them off the altar and put them in baskets that we have consecrated that they don't use for nothing else but that. And then after I've wrapped them up in a sheet like a baby, I lean my body into them for the final prayer. But that means you rubbed her body up against that. That kind of doesn't sound that she's the one that was talking about stuff being kind of sanitary. I'm sorry. I don't think that we really want you rubbing your body over. It just it just kind of conjures up some weird some weird visuals. But I lay hands when they get finished putting them on the altar, on every pressure that is on this, on this altar, on this floor. I personally have put oil on every last one of them myself. I don't have people to do it. That's my job as a Levite. That's my job as a keeper of the glory. She said, that's my job as a Levite. That's my job as a keeper of the glory. You heard that's what she said. No one else said it for no one. Grab the words, put the words together and put it in her mouth and made her say it. No, she said that. Why? Because she either she believes that or I doubt if she really believes that I think what she really is doing is selling it. What is the phrase that's attributed to P.T. Barnum, I guess we're not sure if it's actually him or not. But it's an accurate statement when the word is that there is a sucker born every minute. Well, yeah, I think so. And I take them off and when they come into your house, that's why the expectation of the glory is real. Yeah, so here is a woman who is really full of herself or at least let you know that. Oh, by the way, someone just said, at least I said that. Also, so Walter Jones said that I did a good a good study over her. So y'all make go and put put his a link to his his channel in the in the chats as well. So go out and check out both of them. They both were interested. They both were interested and she's something else. But people are buying her stuff. People are supporting her and which is why you need to have people to keep saying, hey, listen, stay away from that person. You don't need what she's shoveling. You really don't. But now let's pull up the little brother, Paul, again, and what he said to our brother, Timothy, he says in Second Timothy, Second Timothy, Chapter three, he says, but understand this, that in the last days, there will come times of difficulty for people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, proud, arrogant. So far, that kind of describes at least the first that we've discussed. It'll describe the rest as well. Abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful and holy, heartless, unpeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving, good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure, rather than lovers of God. Now they're not going to fit all of those. They won't check off all of those boxes, but they'll check off some of those boxes and that and therein lies the problem. Let's keep going. He says, having an appearance of godliness but denying its power. Avoid such people. Now, I saw someone in the chat says, hey, leave Kanye alone. He's not a preacher, whatever. No, people like that. You don't have to have the title of pastor or preacher to be dangerous to the body. Now, that's not how that works. If someone is dangerous, they're dangerous, whether they're in the church or out of the church claiming to be a part of the church. And so, yeah, Kanye needs to be avoided as much as possible. So too does wanting to bite him. But let's go ahead and continue. He says, for among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, bird would sin and let us stray by various passions, always learning, never able to arrive at a nozzle of the truth. Now, I want to drop down to verse 10. You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in my life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness. Now, what he's doing is giving us an example of one how others should be. Look at me. Look how I've conducted myself. This is Paul and he's not saying so in an arrogant fashion. Look at what I'm saying. Look at how I've lived. Look at what's happened. Follow that. Follow that. Let's continue. He says, my persecutions. Oh, by the way, I'm sorry to jump in and jump back out. But how many of these great leaders of ours, these people that want to be heard, are interested in themselves being persecuted? They want to avoid any sort of persecution whatsoever. How do I know? How do we know? How do you know? The first time someone even says a word, not persecute them, but just says something against them, they're ready to fight. Get their publicists, their PR people against them. They are ready to attack. By the way, I thought this was really, really interesting. Brother Jonathan alerted this to me. I saw this. My good old friend. I guess he didn't want me speaking against him. My good old friend, Mr. Bagani, the video where he was doing and saying what he was saying, some kind of way magically came down. I, brother, I'm sorry if I didn't, I didn't mean to be too offensive. I didn't mean to be too rough. But again, you kind of brought up on yourself. Anyway, let's continue. He says, my persecution and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch at Iconium and at Listro, which persecutions I endured. Yet from them all, the Lord rescued me. Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, which kind of goes with the video that I spoke about earlier about how Christians are going to have some problems, not that when we say every weapon formed against them, none will prosper. OK, fine. That's never worked in your life anyway. There's been some weapons that have been formed against you that have prospered, someone desired to swing on you. That was their only intent. The punch landed and it prospered. Exactly what it was attended. Someone desired to fire you, someone desired to divorce you, someone desired to break up with you, someone desired to do all different things. And the weapon they formed actually did prosper. Not against your soul. That's not what the pastor's talking about. But again, we, if we are believers, are thinking that we are going to avoid anything uncomfortable. You got another thing coming. That's not the Christian life to avoid. If you have thus far, if you have avoided a lot of uncomfortable things in your walk, then amen, praise God for that. But don't expect it going forward. It may continue. Who knows who knows what's in store for us, but do not expect that being a Christian means you don't have any sort of hard times. That's the problem with a lot of these people who these these charlatans who the slightest bit of discomfort discomfort bothers them. And it's the devil. It's someone else attacking. But back to the scriptures, I want to read this passage. It says, while evil people and imposters will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. Look at that deceiving and being deceived, which means some of the people out there who are saying these things while they are deceiving, many of them are deceived themselves. There are people who, in Kanye's case, and some of these other people who have deceived them. Now I want I want to because, again, there are some people who have just been used people with some talent who people have told them great things who wanted to use and these what we call these hanger on hanger owners. One of the proper term is people who will use them for their own benefit. We see that a lot. And I don't know if if he obviously when people are telling you great things, you don't mind them using you as long as they're telling you what you want to hear, but there are people who are deceived themselves and then turn around and deceive others. Now, just because you're deceived does not mean that God lets you off the hook. Lord, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to deceive the flock, but I was deceived myself. OK, so how that work out with Eve? Being deceived is not is not a path to go out and deceive others. You are still responsible, one for the word and two for your action. And so, yeah, Kanye. And in this case, while I need it, you don't get off the hook. What happens is we build these people up and they say and do things. And what happens, they end up looking like other people. If someone who looks mentally disturbed is doing things that other people who you think are credible are doing, you might want to question them also. You might you might want to question them also. Let me give you an example. Todd White. Todd White. And I'm not saying that people are going to ever accuse this man of being a biblical stalwart, but he's not. Seems to be a little bit unhinged. I don't know. I've never met him done on personally. Just just seeing him. Certainly, though, a scholar, someone who handles the text. No. But what he what he is trafficking in is. Likes, camera, dazzle. What he is trafficking in is the charismatic movement, something that kind of gets you moving or something to make you feel good. Like the Lord is behind this, a true move of the spirit. This is a spirit filled church. Lift your voice. Now, praying in the spirit is not that. That's not what praying in the spirit means. It's just not. And but this is where I said I'm going to get in trouble. This is where I say that I'm going to say something that people are going to be upset with me and Bob and you get by with how I say this, but it's OK. It's OK. How many stupid things do you have to do to be called stupid, to be actually be stupid? How many dumb things you have to do and say to be called to actually be dumb or stupid, right? Now, I didn't invent the words. I did not. And so this is in the Bible. So it's clearly that there are people who are stupid. Clearly, there are people who are fools that we want to be careful about calling someone that. But sometimes when it's obvious, you do have to say either he's stupid or he's just prone to constantly doing stupid things. Your walk is your walk is resembling someone who really is stupid. Now, I'm not saying he's stupid, but again, I'm thinking it. I'm definitely thinking it. Why am I thinking? Because when Mike went when when Mr. White says things, Mr. Todd says things like this, it makes you think this guy really the something going on there. Jesus became child pornography on the tree. Listen, Jesus became full of pornography on the tree. Jesus became a thief on the tree. Jesus became addiction on the tree. Jesus became a hater of God on the tree. What does it mean for him to become sin? It doesn't mean that. It does not mean that he who he who knew no sin became sin. It does not mean that he became all of those things. This is why you shouldn't be preaching. This is why anyone who puts him on the stage also should not be preaching. This is why anyone who goes and listen to him should you know what you should you should be put on a church bus and told where to go to church at. If you're going to go and listen to this man, if you're going to platform this guy and put him on, you have no business one having anyone listen to you. That's for sure. I think this is Robert Morris. You have no business even having a church. You really don't. People are listening to you and you put this guy everyone because you're saying some of the same stupid dumb thing. What he just said is absolutely stupid and dumb. And guess what? It gets stupider and dumber even more. He's not finished. Are you hearing me? This is really hard. More than hard, more than hard is really stupid. To even say yet it's true. What does it mean that he knew no sin became sin? Jesus became bestiality on a tree. Yeah, so if you listen to him, if you listen to this guy, if you listen to him, you are in grave error, you are in danger as well. If you think that this guy is solid, that he's sounding, you don't know if that's the definition of sound or solid and your Bible is not a Bible. Clearly, or it's not working or you're not looking at it, you're not opening. Maybe you ought to take your Bible out of the wrapper, out of the box and open because what he says and does is not biblical. But but the issue is people have asked, hey, is this guy actually wrapped tight? He might be. Remember, this guy is a scam artist. This is a guy who has gone out and has done a little fake leg lengthening thing. He has given obviously numerous false prophecies. He has all these fake healings, these casting out and so forth, where people have been paid and so forth. So that part is fairly well documented. And so this guy is a scammer. So it might not be that the guy is crazy. It might just be that he knows exactly what he's doing. But now there are people, though, still, though, keeping in keeping in contact with what we're talking about. There are people who might come across that way, who are just simply deceived because people won't tell them right from wrong. We let these people continue and they have developed this persona where now they cannot see clearly. Have you ever met someone who just simply cannot see clearly? They refuse it. Not even some say they refuse to see clearly. It's just not they don't have the ability. They've lost all ability to be reasonable. They've lost all ability to see clearly. I remember. I told you guys I used to go to Oakley Bible Fellowship and I'll never forget one particular Sunday when Kirk Franklin. I'm not sure if he's still a member there. He used to be a member. He got up and he was kind of telling a story about how he pulled up to the church and he expected someone to come and get his car, park his car while he went in and found a spot. And he said, no, we don't do that here. Now, at that church, there are people there who also have a decent reputation and who are fairly known, maybe not to the extent that Kirk Franklin is, but there were some famous people that went to the church and so but he thought that, yeah, you know what? I should I should be treated well. Well, that hadn't left him. He still feels it away. I don't know if any of you all have seen this whole issue. This I have to I have to comment on it. I don't know what Kirk was thinking. One, why he's at the BET Awards. But what he was thinking when he gave his little this little line here. What makes a grown man say something so stupid? What makes a Christian say something that that's just that's just what I don't know what was in his mind when he was thinking that I don't know. I don't know was he saying that he is the goat that they're bowing down to. Or I don't know. That's the problem. Let me just go. Let me let me put on again, because what it does is it gives us a bad name. Like what what did you just say? Huh? So someone said he explained that he meant goat. Yeah, greatest of all time. OK, but that's the point is that is he the greatest of all time? Is he speaking of someone is speaking of God? Is he saying that Jesus is going to bow down to God? However, he tries to fix it up. No, Kirk, sit down somewhere, sit down somewhere. Just go back to playing the piano. Don't even matter of fact, don't play the piano either. We got some issues with with some of stuff in your music. Don't don't even play the piano anymore. Kirk, come back to the church, come to Bible study, come to Sunday school, come to all those things and because you got enough money, you could take some time off and just just read the Bible. What if we did that? What if people who are famous who claim Christianity actually read the Bible? This is, you know what? Let's just before you, let's have a let's have a church rule. Let's have a club rule in order to be part of the club from now on. Before you say anything publicly about your Christian faith, you have to spend at least six months just reading the Bible. Yeah, you can't say the matter of fact, you can't even ask questions. Just read the Bible. Just read then after six months, then you can begin to ask questions. And if you and if we ask you questions, you get the answer right. Then you can start letting people know that maybe you are serious because this is it's out of hand. It's so out of hand that we've got people that listen when I say that we shouldn't call people, I hate saying the word. I don't hate saying the word. I hate saying the word publicly because it makes you look bad when you call somebody stupid or dumb or anything. But when someone says, you know what? I know what I'll say, absolutely insane, absolutely insane. Yeah, OK, if he's saying that Jesus is the goat, well, then who's the lion and the lamb is bowing down to him? It's just so that's my point when your doctor is off, it's off and it comes out. It's like what he should have said was, you know what? I got I got ahead of myself. My mouth got to move in, didn't know what to say. And just, you know, just just came out. It just came out. I apologize. I apologize. I should I should have said that I got to feel it myself. I got to thinking that I was special. I got to thinking that I was great when the truth is, I'm not. You know, it reminds me of I think what it reminds me of. It reminds me of Dallas Cowboy fans who when they win a few games, they think they are great. They think the whole world is theirs, knowing their history that we're going to fail in a few weeks, we're going to lose. We're going to disappoint the entire city, the entire state, the entire nation. Well, people like him who don't know the scriptures, they they get emboldened, they feel big about themselves. They feel they feel great. It's like, yeah, I'm going, I'm flowing. And then you say dumb things and no one checks him on that. This lady who I think this lady is just out to lunch. She is so out to lunch. She needs help. She needs and let's be honest, all of these people need prayer. All of those people need prayer. Yeah, you didn't think I'd see that little Dallas Cowboy comment in the chat. Listen, I'm moving. I got I got an eye right here. I got an eye there. I got an eye there. Listen, and I'm paying attention to these chats, too. So, yeah, you Cowboys don't think that I can walk and you go at the same time. I'm still shooting at Dallas Cowboy fans. You Cowboy fans repent. But back to the matter at hand, speaking of foolishness. When someone like this lady says what she says, there should have just been outrage. There should have been. She should not have had another follower after she said this. A place in heaven. And for those who don't know me, you may not be able to wrap your natural mind around anything that I say, because it comes by revelation, revelation comes from the heart of the father. It's not man's thought. That's what they do sometimes. They'll say certain things that make it seem like or tell you that what I'm getting is coming from God. And isn't that what you want? You want to have this closeness, this connection with God. And if you don't understand it, the only reason why you don't understand what I'm saying is it comes from God. And you clearly have no no relationship with God. If you don't hear what I'm saying, if you don't feel what I'm what I'm what I'm sending your way, check your heart. It's because of God or your lack of a relationship with it. That's what that is. It's man's ideas or man's plans. And I was taken to exciting, profound places that are so filled with all and one. So where were you taken, Ms. Currie? We just got to know. We need to know where God took you. Listen, guys. Wonder and one of the places I was taken to is a place in heaven where it snows all the time. Now, I know a lot of people are going to love this more. We'll love it to not. It snows all the time. But you have to remember, I'm talking about heaven, not the earth. So she was taken to heaven. And by the way, someone asked, what's that on her shirt? That is Santa Claus and Jesus. That's Santa Claus and Jesus on her shirt. And she was taken to heaven to a place where it snows all the time. Yes. And she's going to tell you that the snow is not regular snow. This snow is alive and the snow and the animals and the trees and the plants. They're all singing. It's like one big Christian Disney place. The snow is alive. Everything in heaven has life. The plants sing, the plants talk, the birds, the creatures, even the building. Shout out the ground, shout out all the time and worship Jesus Christ. They have a place called the Friendly Forest. You can go and have conversations with trees, with the rocks, with the creatures. There's so much. Now, you need to hear who she has a conversation with. Who is there? All the children on the earth will love to know that this particular person that she's going to talk about happens to be in heaven also. So much life there. You can't escape it. So I hope that makes you understand. And in Christmastown, when you go there, that is where Nicholas lives. Yes, Nick, some people call him St. Nick. Some people call him Santa, call him whatever. So Jolly old St. Nick is in heaven. And he's living this play, this Christmas town where there's snow that's alive and yeah, is it OK if I OK? I'll just call her insane. I'm not going to call her any bad. And I'll try not to be mean, but she's insane. She's insane. And what she said is absolutely stupid. And anyone that will listen to her, I question you. And anyone that would have her there at the church or anything, I question you. You should have the ability to discern. Now, let me just say this. Let's go back to the scripture. We're told this Peter exhorts us to be this way. He says, So I exhort the elders among you as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaking in the glory that is going to be revealed, shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly as God would have you, not for a shameful gain, but eagerly. So he's speaking to the leader. Shepherd the flock wisely. Be careful who you bring on. OK. And do so. Look what he says, not under compulsion, but willingly. He says, not for a shameful gain, but eagerly. He says, not domineering over those in your charge, but being example of the flock. And when the chief shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. Likewise, you are younger. Be subject to the elders, clothe yourselves, all of you with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Let's keep reading humble yourselves. Therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that at the proper time, he may exalt you. Don't go looking to exalt yourself. Just humble yourself. If he desires to lift you up, then amen. If he doesn't, amen still. Look what he says. Casting all your anxieties, your cares on him because he cares for you. Look what he says. And here it is. Be sober minded. Be watchful, your adversary. The devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. That's for us. That's that's for all of us. Be sober minded because the enemy, the devil is walking around, prowling around like a lion, seeking who he may devour. I don't think it's put there just kind of just haphazardly or just to catch. OK, all right. And then not be sober minded. Remember, be alert, be aware, be aware that these things that are being said, this foolishness that's happening is going to continue. What we do, though, is what we might say is we might we might say that, yeah, let's disregard her because she's clearly insane. She's got a mental issue. Same thing with Kanye, mental issue. Same thing with something that these people are mentally disturbed. What if they're not though? See, if we say that they got a mental issue, then we feel some level of love which we should, but we're almost apologetic in the way that we would deal with it. But what if what they're doing is intentional and deceptive? They found this as ever told that some people see this as a means for gain. The ministry, what if that's what's happening? And we want to give them a pass. Yeah, he's not all the way there. Yeah, let's let's show him some grace. Fine, but let's show him some grace and mercy while we show his tail or her tail out of the pulpit off the screen, out of the limelight, get somewhere to sit out, let someone deal with you. And if you do have a mental issue, if you got some issue, well, then let's help you seek some counseling to get treatment. Now, how do we deal with this? We're going to deal with if a person actually happens to have some sort of mental issue or not, but look at what was also stated about these people. In second Corinthians four, I want to go for let's go to four, four. He says four, three. And even if our gospel is there, now, you know, I'm sorry, let's start in verse one. Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word. But by open statement of the truth, we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God. In other words, we don't have to use chicanery, trickery. We don't want to make a sham, a mockery, a travesty, a travesty, a sham, a travesty, a mockery. We don't want to do that out of the scripture. We don't want to have to twist the scriptures, find new and interesting ways to present the good to do all that stuff. And this is what he's saying. We don't need to do all those things, but look what he goes on to say. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing in their case. The God of this world has blinded their minds of the unbelievers, has blinded the minds of unbelievers to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. His point is keep doing what you're supposed to do. They're going to be a lot of folks aren't going to listen to you. Their eyes, their minds, their eyes have been blinded. But you keep doing it. Why? Because there's somebody that's listening. So what do we do if we come across someone who might either? We know for a fact this person's got some sort of issues mentally. There's some sort of mental illness there. Or the person is intentionally acting a certain way. The same is the same as in both cases. Give them the word because it's the spirit of God that transfers their heart and their mind. That's all we can do. Now, I'm not saying don't take someone or have someone or we should be opposed to someone getting professional help. I'm not saying that at all. But I am a firm believer that the first step is knowing him. I think that he who formed the mind can take control of the mind. Remember, this is the same guy who gave Nebuchadnezzar mind to want to go out and grace. He gave him this sense of madness. And so I also believe that he also can fix that. And we don't do that enough. We don't sit and take people to the king. We take them to the pharmacy. We take them to the doctor. We take them to the psychiatrist rather than taking to the king, rather than praying for them, but also praying with them, rather than laboring with them, we'll take them somewhere and let someone else do it. But if anyone is suffering, what does James say, call for the elders. And then what we do, we anoint them, lay hands on them. And we pray for this person because the effective, the effectual and fervent prayer of the righteous does avail, does have some result. We are not people who believe in the word with no power. We are not people who believe that God has no power, that he has no strength. No, we believe that God has the ability and the power to overcome. Even people who have some sort of mental issue, people who might. Again, people feel shocked because they don't pay attention. I've never said that there is no such thing as demonic activity. Never said. I've just simply said that Christians aren't possessed. But is there a such thing as demonic activity in the lives of unbelievers? Sure. And even demons also come to try to influence or affect believers. Sure. But what's the result every time? The word of God who will, if we if we've got the son, we are free. We are free and the two cannot occupy the same territory. The spirit of God and this demonic spirit, this spirit that is messing with people's minds. I believe that's happening here as well. But again, the cure, the source, the solution, if it's not God, then we don't have one. If God is not the solution, if God is if God becomes a resource and not the source, then we have missed the boat. And unfortunately, we've done that. We have made God an alternative. We have made God an alternative to mental health. We have made God an alternative to financial health. We have made God an alternative to just about everything until everything has been blown and knocked over and then all we can do is go to God. God, again, let me say this, let me say this. God is not your resource. God is not your resource. He is your source. And if you don't get that, then you will be afflicted in all sorts of ways. Think about Joe. Think about those who have had to deal with some sort of issues. They made God their source. Not a resource, not the second, third or fourth person that you come to. No. And so if that's how you're going to treat him, and that's how we treat him, because we look at some of these stars, some of these celebrities more than we look at, did you hear what so and so said? Did you hear what so and so did? No, how about how about? No, I didn't hear what he said. No, I heard what he said. That's what I heard. I didn't hear it again. And I'm being honest, I don't know what Kanye says. If you put it on the screen, I might see it and even then I'm still hesitant. But before I know what Kanye said, before I know what Kat Kerr said, before I know what Kirk Franklin said, before I know what any of these folks say, I'm always going to be first to know what he said. I want to know what he said. What does we say thus saith the word? That's my KJV for the day. What does thus saith the Lord? And if we can get on board with that, we can get past all these Kirk Franklin issues, we can get past these Kanye West issues. We would, matter of fact, wouldn't it be something if all the believers knew what a foolish person was? If we saw how if we named that foolish behavior, would there be something if we just Paul says here, I'm an example. Look at me. If we may Paul the example and other not perfect Christians, because we all mess up, but it'd be cool if we had Christians who wouldn't mess with. You know, I messed up. I did. I did wrong. I should. Because what should Kirk Franklin have said? Kirk Franklin should have come out and said, you know, I messed up. I messed up. Matter of fact, you I'm living witness when you tell people you messed up and that's what it's obvious. It's obvious you messed up and then you want to know I didn't. But what wasn't me? When you're honest, people can appreciate that. People will forgive you even when they know you probably ain't even sincere when you apologize. But because you apologize, then all right, we'll let you off the hook. Humble Clinton will forgive you, even if we know you don't mean it. But because you said I messed up, I apologize. Yeah, but the guy that won't apologize, the guy that won't humble himself, Peter says, make humble yourself, humble yourself. If not, if you don't humble yourself, then his cousin will come along. Y'all know humility's cousin, don't you? Humility's cousin is humiliation. He'll show up and he's a big bad boy and he'll knock you down and then he'll end up making you see that God is your source because now you have nothing else to turn to but God. Amen.
