 Karen Y'all got to forgive me ain't got much light in here and this light kind of Raggedy Don't stand straight up. They just point down But then I'm in the hotel Got one more night in the hotel headed to my speaking engagement today, but um When you shoot a video in the hotel, you can't really Upload it Because it take forever the Wi-Fi is horrible and then if you do it on just cellular data It take hours and hours and sometimes you got to leave and if you leave You fall moving around it's going in and out of service. So When I need to shoot a video in the hotel sometimes if the Wi-Fi isn't good Which Wi-Fi this hotel don't work because of the little city. I'm in then It um, it won't upload so I wanted to get on here and the reason why I want to come on here is because On my last video that I did late last night Discussing the mega pastor, you know who spit in his hand It was one young lady and I and I'm always You know, I think like what the parable when Jesus was talking about, you know having the 90 the hundred and then the 90 the one getting lost and Him going to look for the one that's lost and this young ladies to say she got saved a few months ago and that she understand the intention that the pastor had and And all of that and that's where we go wrong yet But what I realized with male leadership in general today Is the reason why we're able to build and build a following a Lot of times it's because of women It's because of women and and it's in that following. It's a lot of women who worship us and Not worshiping God now some men don't represent God But what we have to be careful of is that we don't that we never Worship man and that we always get to a place to where we can hear God for ourselves Because man can be wrong Man very well may be wrong Man can take a stupid pill any day Man could be saying the name of God, but be fired by God and no longer Employed by God no longer working for God, but if we following a man We will be led away from God And that's what we have to realize and understand and this message so serious That's why I turn the comments off while I'm doing the thing you believe a comment in the regular comment box, but I Don't play about that. You know, I don't play about that and I don't want to intercept Any of God's glory. I don't want to get in the way of of God I don't want to try to be bigger than God And that's what we see today and what a lot of people don't understand is what's happening You know with this brother and we got to keep him in prayer but I'm talking about this publicly because he want to be public and he want to go viral man He want to be famous and he want to do stuff for shock value So that's why I'm addressing it publicly and because I don't know him personally But I could see the spirit though. I Could see the spirit and that's what I told a young lady. I said for one. You're not a man so being a man I understand that For a man to spit in his hand and rub that spit in another man face But not how to oil and anointing that Jesus had That that's a pornographic spirit that that spirit come from a spirit of nastiness Jesus wasn't trying to be nasty Jesus was healing the man because Jesus knew he had what it took to heal the man But guess what even Jesus who could do all things did not heal the man on the first try The man said I see men walking as trees Then Jesus had to put his hand back over the man eyes and then the man say I see men clearly and After that Jesus told him not go home and don't tell anyone about this But before Jesus did it Jesus walked him out of the town away from the people That's why he had him look out at the people who was out there, you know walking because He took him away from people. So that right there removes all Semblance of us Emulating or redoing this for the sake of us of a sermon But see the thing is what you have to realize you got to understand the bigger that the bigger picture and you got to realize how The adversary works so Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day May God rest his soul may his May his message and what he tried to accomplish work But even with MLK They had a lot to say the CIA and Different women, you know coming out and they had stuff to say about his character about Him and his wife and stuff he did, you know reading Stuff that was recorded About him and so because of that I Don't worship man. I don't I don't praise man I Praise God and I worship God Because one thing I understand about having gone viral Like today my my brand is just steady The crazy thing about it is the Lord has blessed my business more now with a steady brand than when my brand was viral but in 2015 2014 15 16 my brand was reaching 30 million people a week 20 million a week on Facebook and Then another five ten a million a week from Twitter and Instagram So my brand was reaching 20 to 40 million people some one week on Facebook alone my messages reached 40 million people so Thank you. We're not talking hundred. We're not talking thousand. We're talking millions. That's a lot of people So when that happened my life changed I Walk into the you know, Walgreens and the person behind the counter knew who I was I went through the drive-thru of Wendy's the lady handing my food knew who I was I checked in on Delta The the white lady in her 60s knew who I was my world shrunk on me And so I know what it's like to go viral But here's the thing if you're not rooted and grounded if you're not rooted and grounded that virality will go to your head and It'll it'll get you in a split in a place to where now You become I was just talking to my mentee in the Bahamas. He sent the video to me this morning Somebody sent it to me last night. I sent the video to my dad who was a pastor For seven years of his own church and 14 years in total and he said son I can't watch it. He said son went when he did that second. I couldn't even watch it He said you got to him. What happened? I sent it to my wife. She responded to me. I'm about to throw up in my mouth. I Sent it to I seen several people in my last video say they was about to throw up say that they couldn't even watch it That's not God That's not the work of God that ain't that ain't what God trying to do if people can't even watch it to receive it because it's that Disgusting and that appalling Then that explains why Jesus went away from the people and did it in private and why Jesus told the man to go home And now some people say oh well Jesus did it in mud and in this was from Mark chapter 8 He didn't hidden the King James version don't say anything about mud But it wasn't the only blind man he healed so other blind the other blind person It could have been when he spat in the mud and he made the mud and put it on the eyes this one It says After he spit in his eyes That what it just was that and this marked chapter 8 But you you then understand with spiritual discretion when you pray for wisdom knowledge and understanding You understand when it says Jesus walked him away from the town walked him out of the town You understand why he did that Because he can read the spit in the man eyes You understand why he told the man go home Nor go to the town and tell anybody you understand why he did that so then that tells you okay This isn't for me to go and do in front of everybody in front of millions where millions will see this if Jesus Wouldn't even do it in front of a hundred people What it would tell a leader to do it where millions gonna see it and where on the day we celebrate the work of a black man That black man's work is being overshadowed by another black man who want to be famous who want to be viral and Who rubs spit in his little brother's eyes? And so that's trending on Twitter when I open Twitter this morning I Look at the trending and it's the pastor spitting in his hand and not and then it's Everybody just It's a lot of Christians, you know denouncing it But then the atheist The the people on the fence the non-believer they say see this why I don't do Christianity see this why I don't do the church see and I saw somebody say how can people be grown? Adults and still believe in Christianity like how can people? Be grown adults and believe that the church is of God and That right there is the black eye. That's given to the church because of ego Because the Bible tell us not to be a hindrance to our brethren So what that means is if it's something that you're gonna do That could get in the way of the message that could up in the message Then you got to go a different way You can't do something and just not think about The repercussions and not think about the confusion. It'll cause the the disgust it'll cause Jesus is not a Man of shock value in the sense of being disgusting To get attention and that is Specifically why he handled the way he handled it in mark eight and why he went away from the people because he wasn't about shock value Because what Jesus could have done if he was about shock value and going viral on something that could be seen as Vile or disgusting like look we're in 2022 We're in 2022 if Spitting in your hand and rubbing it in somebody's face is seen as disgusting in 2022 What do you think that would be seen that in Jesus in the country? Jesus was in when he did that in that day and age Like we've gotten so far away from morals and values and common sense That we pretty much allow anything just like the young lady who she justified it She said oh, you know his message has helped me and and that's all fine and dandy and Because we all gonna say some good stuff, but we also got to be checked when we say the wrong stuff We also got to be held accountable when we say and do the wrong stuff and here in this young lady She says she got saved a few months ago And she mentioned me and a few other men and what I noticed from that is she didn't mention a woman and I could and me being able to read people I could just look at her picture and it was able to tell I deleted the conversation because I Responded to her for her not for everybody because again, I'm not about grandstanding and I'm not about you know checking Somebody in the comments for everybody to see and everybody to pile on because in that comment section I'm gonna have more supporters than she is so I responded because I know you too gonna send her the email Of my response and she could sit with that But then she don't have to get beat up by everybody else who cuz she on my page But I wanted her to understand this what I told her don't ever worship man at any given day Man could go wrong at any given day a man could be drunk on his power a Man could be and what my mentee said to me from the Bahamas in him free poor Bahamas He sent me the video He said bro, I recorded this for you He said I just on he said I don't know man. I feel like it's wrong. I said yeah He was wrong. He was wrong for that that that you know He trying to be bigger than God right now trying to go viral and he said he said yeah The Bible talk about men becoming lovers of ourselves And I told my mentee cuz my mentee he he over six foot You know what he basically what you know women call him tall dark and handsome He ripped and shredded with muscles, you know, he got the beard life going he keep it old and took him care of You know, he take care of himself and he know God But his following is this big and I told him I say, bro, that's why God moving you slowly I say get all of these lessons and he said, you know what I believe that Because this young man based on what women like based on the list that women give me He fit every woman list But nobody really know him and It's because he wants to have a heart for God just like my mentee That's a few rooms down. That's that's going that I put on the panel with me today So he get his first college speaking engagement. Listen I'm trying to show young men the right way. I'm trying to show them humility So he know the deal with me being here He know the deal the circumstances of me being here and so he get to see humility He get to understand we coming to this little old school that got 900 students. We flew up here It's snowing. It's sunny where we live But he get to understand humility he get to understand the mission and see and this ain't none of that funny business This ain't none of that funny business. I don't like men see his son I don't met men who tried to mentor me and they married but really it's because they like men This ain't I'm not with the funny business and see this thing when I saw what the pastor did I Said that remind me of That's something that I think would be in a nasty movie Now I've never watched the whole nasty movie when I say nasty movies. I'm out the P-word. Okay But a lady commented and she said Tony You read that right because that pastor has mentioned about being delivered from our Nasty movies. I didn't know that because I don't I don't watch the gentleman because I could I Could tell when you do this when you do this and this is why I try to tell you Everybody not gonna understand what I'm saying, but some people will and that's why I'm saying it for the people who will But everybody not gonna understand, but I don't watch the gentleman because I know what I know what's up Real recognize real and you know when somebody It's called and you know when somebody just came and I hate to be that real. I hate to say that but I could tell when something when something real and I and see the thing about it is is The adversary Satan is It's not that the brother can't do right It's not that the brother can't help lead people to Christ, but it's just he got to be reminded That this is about God and not about you Like we as male leaders especially because what you have to realize about male leaders is males We can be beast. You know, we can be very vile. We could be very foul We could be very nasty when you look at the things that males have done now females have done things, too Just like Jezebel just like Delilah, you know females can be Griselda Blanco You know females could be vile, too But across the board you see it more in men and more men assume that role So as as male leaders what we have to understand is we have to check ourselves daily And we got to have a wife that's gonna check us and keep us in check And we got to go in prayer before I do a video I pray because I want to come from the right place I don't want to say the right things and I want to make sure that it's not about me and that it's about the Ministry it's about the bigger message and that it's not about me Trying to come on here and look a certain way and win the favor of women and win the favor of men Win the praise of people and so when I seen this I seen Where a lady she said um She said She said i'm gonna post this video To show you where this man this same man condone dv domestic And so I watched the video And he said, you know, god give one reason for divorce And he was getting to the point that the one reason god give for divorce is Unfaithfulness is is adultery infidelity and And in the examples that he said He said god don't say we grew apart We don't get along He hit me He said he hit me But see this thing is is when you Serve god and when you Have spiritual eyes Then you realize that The word doesn't change But you also understand context You understand that The man who wrote that Did not put domestic Violence as a reason for divorce Because in that day and age women were allowed to be Put hands on a man could put hands on his woman In that day and age. That's why the man did not say That is a reason when he wrote that But the bible also says obey the law of the land So to for a man to put hands on his wife is against the law Therefore you are in sin Therefore you have broken the covenant Ephesians five say That we are to love our wives as christ love the church christ don't put hands on us Christ doesn't abuse us. So therefore if a man puts hands on his woman He is breaking the marriage covenant because he's not loving her So it ain't just one scripture and then that scripture just stands all alone And that's the only thing. No, you have to take the bible Into its full message Because it evolves as it goes the old testament is not the same as the new testament And lessons taught By jesus or about jesus are not the same as the other messages. So you see where it goes from Eye for eye to for a tooth To turn the other cheek And so we have to with spiritual discernment. We got to understand this So with a pastor standing up And that's why I tell people don't speak on relationships if you're not called to speak on relationships Because you'll get somebody killed. So even if as a as a minister We feel that the bible does not give us A reason to leave a leave because of dv We not supposed to stand up and share that message If even if we feel that because we know a life could be on the line We know that there's a woman sitting out there Who her man will take that and he will use that to put hands on her and he will tell her Your favorite pastor Such and such said in his sermon that Leaving because of me Hitting you is not in the bible But guess what we also understand about god is that god is a forgiving god So even if you were In sin for divorcing your husband because he Put hands on you. Guess what you will receive Forgiveness So the same way a pastor want to go on and on about grace But then want to trap a woman in a marriage with an abusive man. That's toxic. That's dangerous and that's not godly Because at the end of the day, we got to answer the god for ourselves And yeah, we're not here to change the word. We're not here to add to it We're not here to put extra word But you got to take it in its context and you got to understand And you got to have spiritual discernment because the reason why the bible says serve god in spirit and in truth Is because god knows that the word is going to be misinterpreted So a person who can't read the bible have to connect with god on a spiritual level because they're illiterate So they can't read the bible and so what we have today is we got a lot of people that don't understand reading and comprehension Is a skill. It's something that you develop Spiritual discernment is something that has to be developed. It's a muscle that got to be exercised So we got a lot of people that's disseminating a word that don't really understand the context or what they're talking about And can't really comprehend it and can't look at it holistically and understand that yes although it was omitted right here that Man a husband should not put hands on his woman And that that reason was not listed as a reason as grounds for divorce We have to realize that over here It was mentioned that we have to love our wives the way christ loved the church and present her blemish and spot free If a man put hands on a woman he blemishing he's blemishing her and he's not presenting her spot free So therefore he is out of the covenant with god. He has broken his marital vows We also have to realize that the bible tell us That we got to obey the laws of the land meaning that we're not to be criminals We're not to break the law. That's why when they came to jesus and they said hey, how do you feel about taxes? Jesus although he knows he's above the law although jesus knew he that his father is above Caesar He knew that on earth to be godly he has to obey the laws of the land so he cannot condone Tax evasion so he said render unto Caesar. What is Caesar's and render unto god? What is god's so we have to be able to contextualize and understand The entirety of god's word and the message That we're sharing with people and how it will be received by those who are on milk Not everybody is on meat some people on milk and so We as male leaders who are playing to our Insecurities and playing to our Immaturity and playing to our Ignorance can get people hurt with our message being reckless so When I saw the brother put the spit in his hand and put it on His little brother face when he could have done that a million different ways to get that across Even if he wanted and he should have did it every step of what the word say Okay It's say jesus walked the man out of the town. So walk your little brother behind the stage And even if you want to keep your mic on you and your brother behind the stage Now they could hear your spit and they could imagine what you're doing, but they can't see what you're doing And then jesus say tell jesus told the man go home And don't even go into the city to tell anybody about this So from behind the stage, send your little brother To wash his face, but truthfully you behind the stage so you ain't got to put real spit in his face And everybody in the congregation gets the message But see it's a perverted spirit That could look at that and condone it And that's what a young lady what I was trying to tell her like listen sister You a baby in the Lord. You got to check your spirit because and and now and then she went to the next comment went to Attacking me talking about I'm attacking his character. I'm not attacking him as a man I'm standing up for the word of God and for the representation of God I don't Him as a man. I I know he flawed because we all flawed. I know he human But we got to call it. We got to call a spade a spade and so I I deleted it because I realized she lost and now If he could get up there and do the work of the devil on accident Because of pride or ego or rushing or not really supping with the Lord not looking at it from every angle Before doing it and this is something that I learned from zig-ziggler and I don't worship zig-ziggler I don't pray zig-ziggler. It's just who God used when I was changing my life And I was listening to zig-ziggler 10 hours a day, but I understand he a man I understand he he had flaws. I understand it was probably parts of him that his kids know about that I don't know about parts of him and his wife know about that. I don't know about so I understand that but Is zig-ziggler didn't curse and he quoted God so that that's why I listened to him over Tony Robbins and other people who didn't mention God and they would curse a lot I don't curse because I don't like mixing the profane with the sacred And what one thing zig-ziggler said is I lost my train of thought But it was something that when I seen that I said, okay We have to look and we got to realize that when we talking to people Oh, that's what he said. He said before I say anything He said I evaluated from three different angles He said I evaluated spiritually Psychologically Biologically like he mentioned it was three or four different ways and one thing that taught me Is it taught me? Okay, Tony when you get ready to share a message Think about it from A man's perspective the woman's perspective a christian's perspective an atheist perspective a muslim Perspective and understand who you're about to fend offend Understand what you're about to say and understand how it can be received And so what that does is it makes you change the wording It makes you change the messaging Because now you've thought about it whereas a lot of times we just have tunnel vision And we only think about ourselves and what we're trying to say and what we're trying to get across And so that is a place of pride and pride come before fall But we have to think about the recipient and so we have to think about I remember I was doing an event with um ludicrous's wife and It was a young lady in the crowd And we were talking about um s a like People being at a young age taking advantage of And she Blamed herself She said, you know, I was wearing tight clothes. I was wearing short shorts and that's why that happened to me And I saw people face and they was frowning And somebody was upset and I had to come back after her and I had to say listen We can't blame you you can't blame yourself No matter what you had on A man didn't have a right To do what he did to you Just because you had that on and so And it was because she had been talked to victim blame And to accept the blame and to accept the shame and to blame herself and so In thinking about a message and how it'll be received You have to think about the different recipients So I used the quote that I read And it said forgiveness is a gift you give yourself And that really really disturbed a young lady She was crying. She was frowning. She was angry. She was mad and when I said that she said Because she was not ready To forgive The person who violated her And that taught me a lesson right there That I can't speak from where I'm at and just my level of understanding In every message because some people and that's why when you look at my videos, that's why they are hour long Because I'm breaking it down I'm taking this right here And i'm putting it into baby food In case somebody who is a baby In the lord a baby in relationships a baby in business They can digest it So when you get that what you do for your baby you take the carrots And you put it in the blender and you get it all mashed up You don't just your baby don't have teeth So you don't put a hard carrot in your baby mouth you you blend it down so your baby And that's what we have to do with a message That's what we got to do with the word is we got to understand that we're trying to reach people in all different places And the thing to the men and I see this with women too But i'm a man so I speak from a male perspective So I don't try to address everything To a woman because I don't understand the struggles of a of a woman who is a leader or a speaker But I do see women get power get drunk on power But from a male I understand Like it's some stuff I could post on instagram That I won't post because it'll get a thousand likes And so that'll push me to post something that's really watered down And that's really elementary to me because it'll get 12,000 likes But that also shows me is the more simple And plain you could be the more people will understand it But when I post something that just means something to me Fewer people will understand it because our vantage point is different Because if I'm here in my life and somebody's here in their life, they're not going to see through my lenses And so what we have to realize and understand and it's unfortunate that I think the message that the brother did was posted yesterday So today on twitter is trending and so what we have trending is a black man Spitting in his hand and wiping the spit on the face of another black man on martin luther king day Where we're supposed to be Celebrating advancement in our race in our culture and in the world at large But what we have trending and what we got people like me happen to address and talk about is a pastor Abusing the pulpit Misusing the pulpit and not thinking it through and being held accountable spiritually and then Hopefully the brother will not have the ego and try to in his next sermon or today explain it away Hopefully the brother will admit how he realized it could be offensive and not try to compare himself to jesus And we do that a lot Because our mama tell us people hated jesus so they're gonna hate you and we ride on that And we roam for that because we're not jesus So I will not use that analogy again because i'm not jesus Because i'm not called to die on a cross So I can't put me and jesus On the same plane And I was watching it and he said to the people He said y'all hear the noise y'all made y'all hear He could see them faces and he could hear what they said he could see the people that was disturbed Because it's always going to be people That they they follow you But they waiting on you to mess up He saw those people And his demeanor changed me being a speaker. I understand this if you're not a speaker You're not going to understand this you're not going to see everything It's just kind of like if bill bella check watching game film Bill bella check going to see stuff that me and you not going to see So my breakdown of this you're not going to understand every part of it if you Not a speaker if you're not a man if you're not black if you're not under 40 If you haven't gone viral You're not going to understand every aspect of it. Well, I understand it and I could see That god convicted his spirit after he right after he did that spit and put it on them and he was battling with it And that's why he his message went another hour and 20 minutes trying to trying to calm people down and explain in a way And the thing about it is is again, we're out of context God didn't Spit jesus didn't spit in the man eyes For him to get vid for him to get vision of life For him to get vision of his dreams for him to get a vision for his business That spit was literally To make a blind man see What the pastor was talking about was vision God's vision for our life our purpose our business our they have nothing to do with spit They have nothing to do with rubbing spit in somebody's face. So again, we out of context And it's misleading and it's damaging to the body because now Every atheist saying see this why I don't do god The people on the fence say see this why I'm leaving the church and now It doesn't just affect his body It affects the whole body because a news station Picked it up and posted it and it's trending worldwide on twitter So now it gives a black eye to the entire body So now it takes one man and it puts him in front of god It puts him above god. It makes him the representation of god And so people kept saying so some people saying oh Jesus did that though So why he can't do it because he's not jesus Because he wasn't healing the blind because he didn't do it the way jesus did it Jesus walked the man out of the town and then sent the man home and told him not to tell anybody He's spitting his hand where millions will see it recorded it put it online So millions could see it and did not send his brother to the back to clean his face He left his brother standing there for several more minutes now the discernment on here is called vision Something else and all this and that's humiliating And this is what we got to understand as male leaders and and this is for female leaders too if it applies to you But listen I'm gonna talk to to the people who support male leaders Do not worship us Do not worship us Do not Make us equal with god Do not give us credit for the message that we that god shares through us Do not say toning You changed my life Say god changed my life Using this person Don't give the messenger the credit if the message brought you closer to god Because then you make the messenger your god And that's blasphemy That's idolizing that is a sin Put no one or nothing before god Anybody can be walked away from Anybody can be denounced Anybody can lose their mind Anybody can become a lover of themselves Anybody can lose their way Do not get caught up In worshiping man And praising man And desiring man Do not make me Or another man Your spiritual husband Do not make me or another man your god on earth Do not do that Get to know God for yourself Read your bible If you see somebody mention A book of the bible and a chapter and a scripture Instead of taking their word for it go read it for yourself Go read it for yourself and god may give you something totally different God may give you something to where yeah, it's the same But you may get a deeper understanding and what you may realize is that no, there's not You know, there's gonna be people who misinterpret it. It means what it means people gonna misinterpret it It means one thing people gonna misinterpret it But god may give you the thing That it means and then you can see If someone has misinterpreted or you may assume someone has misinterpreted But you got your own you got your understanding You do serving in spirit and in truth You worshiping in spirit and in truth and not just the letter Which is often misinterpreted And so we take and and the thing with men is Male leaders and again, this could be female leaders too, but I'm for the sake of my focus and singularity I have to do it like this You have to make sure That you don't speak from pride You have to make sure That you don't get caught up in the hype You have to make sure That you don't fall in love With going viral You have to make sure that you don't fall in love with the attention You have to make sure that your insecurities don't take over And that you fall in love with being praised I read a Comment on a video and it said OMG Tony, you know everything I remember it because I just read it before I got on here When I see something like that I have to let it go in one ear and out the other I can't sit on it. I can't glow on it I don't even hit the the heart button on it I ignore it because I don't because I'm aware that I cannot get caught up believing my own hype Because then I will try to be god or replace god I have to remain a humble servant and I cannot get bigger than the program I cannot get bigger than the message. I have to be humble and that's why I do you say the greatest among you Will be your servant because a servant is an unsung hero The janitor does not get the praise for the company's success But by the janitor keeping the place clean The environment it runs smoother people have more clarity They have more happiness when they go to the bathroom and it's spotless Imagine working a job and you go to the bathroom and it just stank It's pee all over the floor. It's boo boo stuck on the inside of the toilet What is that going to do to your experience at the job? But what company gives the janitor praise on their On their night when they have their dinner for the executives Who walks the janitor across the stage and give him an award For being great or hurt and a war for keeping the place spotless and clean See we have to understand that we got to be the janitor In the body That we got to be doing the cleaning and we got to be willing to go without the praise When I did the interview With the young lady. She said listen, you're og out here. You've been doing this before everybody been doing it But you don't get your flowers. You don't get your praise She said I want to give you your flowers. But see listen, I realized that's intentional by god Because those of us who god really calls We may never be worldwide famous We may never go viral in the real sense of going viral and remaining viral. Yeah, I reached a lot of people But it wasn't Religious it was a quote about business. It was quotes about relationships. So that one That wasn't god that wasn't leading people to christ. So that was totally different, but When we go viral talking about god We got to make sure we in line Fully with the word We got to make sure that if we paint in a picture. Listen the only way That's spitting in your hand And rubbing it in somebody's face Is okay Is if it's doing the same thing that jesus did Is if it's a blind man And you've got the anointing To spitting your hand and rubbing in his face and then he see That's the only way and if you don't have that power and if that's what the message is not about Then that's an erroneous out of line out of order depiction that takes the word of god and makes it Vile and disgusting and it turns the stomachs of the people so the people can't even receive the message And that's bigger than the program. That's trying to be bigger than the program That's trying to go viral when god ain't asking to go viral because the bible tell you many are called But few are chosen So when you understand that it's going to be a lot of voices But everybody ain't chosen By god Some people came on their own Some people promote themselves promoters of self Some people it's all about going viral I I could do my titles totally different to go viral I could put the brother name in the title to go viral. That's not my desire My desire is to reach who god Intends for me to reach because I know the people that he intend for me to reach He's going to use them in their circle of influence in their life That he may be getting ready to raise them up right now And they had a space to where they're not where I'm at with three and a half million people across social media They may be at a hundred thousand people. They may be at a half a million people They may be at a million people, but they want to be a light for god That's who this message for it ain't to belittle the brother It ain't to talk down about the brother It's the teacher lesson from the mistakes of that we make and guess what If I do something egregious That offends the body That gives a black eye to the body If I do something like that, then I expect the same thing to be done to me I expect that and I have to be man enough to see my brother holding me accountable And I have to go to my brother and say hey, I appreciate what you said Because you was right. I was operating from the wrong place I did not thoroughly pray through that. I did not look at it from the different angles I was egotistical in that moment. I was arrogant in that moment. I got caught up in the hype I really thought about the possibility of going viral before I said that I got to approach my brother and thank him for checking me and holding me accountable If I know that this brother is operating from a spirit of purity and a spirit of god not not Not i'm not going to a critic who don't know god. I'm not going to a sacrilegious person. I'm not going to You know somebody who you know, they cussing and going off and asking a fool and calling me out my name and all of that But somebody who checking me spiritually I got to respect that and so this what i'm trying to tell you We have to be careful If you're going to be a leader if you're going to have a voice You got to make sure that you don't get drunk and high On your popularity We got to make sure that we don't get drunk and high on going viral That's why I just joined tiktok tiktok been out forever But I don't care about virality the reason why I joined is just so people don't have an account faking as me pretending they me and stealing Snippets of my videos and posting it like they mean that's the only reason but how long tiktok been out Two years three years a year. I'm just getting on now. You know why because lord check me about Trying to go viral Because I see this other young man on instagram all the time on instagram reels And he doing bible scriptures and he talking about god With the writing but he's sitting there in the sunlight got the sun hitting his face You know, he got a little glistening on his skin He licking his lips rubbing his hands But yet got stuff talking about god and i'm like, listen How are you talking about god? But you clearly trying to look like a sex symbol like you clearly trying to seduce the women that's watching this And you're disgusting me as a man because you're sitting up there licking your lips and trying to do it in a sexy way Like I lick my lips. I lick my lip because they dry I'm not licking my lips trying to look like hot LL cool jay did and that's what the brother doing And so this the thing We get called up and we get drunk On virality We get called up and we get drunk on fame And then we dragging god name into it. Listen if you want to be famously god out of it Like the things that god has given me god gave me I never once asked for a follower. I never once did a publicity stunt to try to go viral I never once made a title just for shock value to try to go viral Never because I want to be able to be built slowly I want to be in the oven not in the microwave. I don't want to be a hot pan of grease I want to be oven baked so that I got the time to let the the lessons Soak into me and get the lessons and that's where our spirit got to be if you want to be a leader If you want to be a voice for change if you want to be somebody that can help other people you got to be humble You got to want it for the right reason. You cannot be egotistical. You have to be emotionally intelligent You got to be patient You got to get to a place to where you're not trying to be bigger than the program So, hey It's Tony gaskins. I appreciate you if you knew you probably lost don't have a clue What i'm talking about if you're not christian and you're not in the body of christ He probably may not make a whole lot of sense to you If you're not trying to be a voice for change this might not make a lot of sense to you But I have to come on here and talk about this because It's it's lives hanging in the balance And people could be ladder straight and so I want people to know that yes I believe Any of us could be used for the greater good Your brother who did the spit and wiped it in his little brother face I know god could use him and I know god is using him, but I also feel like that was one One message that he didn't sit with the lord long enough Because the lord would have shown him people like me Being disgusted and appalled The lord would have showed him that and and the lord would have said this we don't need division in the body We don't need confusion in the body We we don't need that But with this right here you're gonna have to get checked You're gonna cut because you ain't you're not hearing me The lord would have said listen hold on hold on hold on now. Hold on now. Listen That's not what my son did My son that that wasn't a that wasn't a metaphor For a vision of a mission and vision in life and purpose that wasn't a metaphor for your life's vision For your purpose that wasn't a metaphor that was that was literal my son spit in a man eyes Who was blind? And could not see And and and when he did that the first time it gave him vision, but he saw men as trees It was blurry the second time the man said he see clearly the second time out the jesus put his hand Look that that was literal that wasn't metaphorical That wasn't for you to take and spit in your hand and wipe that in another human face And then related to God's vision For our life being messy That that they're not the same vision That was literal vision that jesus gave that was oil and anointing in jesus spit That that wasn't that that wasn't millions of just millions of bacteria And disgusting this because guess what? we all know the perversion of of the world and We know the time that we live in We know the this what i'm telling you that's what i'm telling leaders is you got to think about The times that we are in It was way more conservative in jesus times So if he walked away To do this act But the act is of a purpose it's for a reason he just ain't spitting the man face just to spit it in the man face just the You know show power just to show dominance But where do we see saliva being used for dominance For power Where do we see that? From the world of perversion We see that from nasty movies I've never seen it on a nasty movie because i've never watched it, but i know it's there And because i've read people say hey don't spit on me when you're doing this I've seen the memes talking about people using saliva during the act Those different acts that are done in the bedroom So knowing that we're in that climate Knowing that we have sites that have women doing Things that's wild and is subscription based Then we have to also be mindful that us spitting in our hand Is not going to remind anybody of the spirit of christ us spitting in our hand And rubbing it in the face of another human is not going to lead anybody to christ is not going to Remind anybody of the purity and the perfection of christ It is going to disgust everybody Other than those Who want to be lukewarm christians A lukewarm christian and and it's the thing To be able to discern spirits Is a gift So the young lady who condoned that act i could see her spirit When i went on twitter i saw a young lady discerning i mean Condoning the act of the pastor spitting and went on a whole rant I could see her spirit I could see by the hairstyle By the camera angle by the look into the camera i could see the spirit I could see the spirit i could see the influences I could see it And so i could tell that When we dibble and dabble When we lukewarm That means we are carnal minded And when we carnal minded we have carnal vision So when we have carnal vision we cannot see spiritually We can't see spiritually So we won't look at this act that this pastor did spiritually if we carnal minded We're gonna look at it carnally And we're gonna condone it and say no i get it. I get what he was trying to do I get the intention and oh, yeah, jesus did that i understand That's the exact same thing that that the bible say jesus did and we'll say that without even reading the scripture We'll say that without even reading the chapter without even reading that whole section to see exactly what jesus did How he did it and why he did it that way We'll just run with it that this man of god Got it all right And that's how we end up Being led astray is because we don't because we lazy We want the cliff notes We don't want to read the book for ourselves We want to put our trust in somebody and and and if some if i come on here and i'm married And i claim to be faithful And i'm a father and you see me at my son's games Then i look responsible So you will get lazy And you will just depend on me disseminating information to you Instead of going and reading the book for yourself Because you will say this looks like a trustworthy character, but you don't know where my spirit is You don't know where i'm operating from you don't know who i'm really hearing from So we have to be diligent in our work and we got to go to the source not just the resource We got to go to the source. So that's when people when people ask me ton Who do you look up to i look up to jesus christ? I don't look up to man I don't look up to man because i know Man is flawed don't look up to me Let my message take you closer To the holy bible and then you get in the holy bible for yourself And you get the holy bible and you read it in king james version and you read it in the new international version And you read it in the english standard version and you get your study bible and you get in there And when you get in there, you're gonna see error in my teachings You're gonna be like, oh, I feel like tony got this wrong And I feel like tony misinterpreted this and why it's because what what i said over here I could have been taking it from what another man said and didn't do the work for myself So that's what you've got to realize and understand is that we all can error in our ways We all could be in the wrong We all could get drunk on power We all could fall in love with money We all could wake up and take a stupid pill with some orange juice for breakfast We all capable of that and we got to realize and know and understand that So listen to me now Got to get all like together And this here this this is not something that I want to do this ain't something I take pride in this ain't something That's why I ain't got the brother. That's why I ain't say the brother name because if you don't know about it You don't know about it. This ain't for you That's why I ain't put the brother name in the title because I don't want no cloud off his name This only for the people and that's why I ask y'all don't put people name in the comments This for the body this ain't for everything ain't for everybody because everything ain't gonna be understood by everybody This for those who you own that path you trying to live and do right And this what you got to understand and it's a difference it's a difference like Jesus had to call Peter out He had to speak to satan inside of people in peter and he had to say get deep behind me There's somebody who walking with him who? Having dinner with him who who with him every day and the devil was able to speak through him To try to tell him a you ain't got the you ain't got to do that You ain't got to turn yourself in you ain't got to do that And jesus had to say get deep behind me satan To his partner that's walking with him You see what I mean? So even in the body That don't mean that we above The influence of satan that don't mean that that satan can use us On a sermon on a message To disrupt the body in a negative way That don't mean that So you got to understand and you got to be sensitive to the spirit You got to get connected to the spirit. You got to get in that word for yourself So when you read mark eight And then you listen to the brother message You're going to realize if your message ain't talking about what jesus was doing right there Then then you miss equating And and even if you want to draw that parallel even if you want to use it metaphorically and compare it to vision Then don't use the means that jesus used to give literal vision for Us trying to give a metaphorical vision A hypothetical vision We we Should not use the literal thing that jesus used saliva and rubbing it in somebody's face To relate The blind being able to see to us being able to hear and see god's vision for our life That's not one in the same And so what it becomes is disgusting repulsive appalling And it's going to push people out of the church Guarantee you He lost a lot of members And and for telling women that the bible don't say you could leave marriage You could leave marriage Because your man hit you That got some women That got some women under that message that got some women beat on that right there that one thing It's me and take my message out of context all the time That got some women beat on and so as leaders we got to have the wherewithal We got to have the knowledge and understanding and that's why we got to pray for wisdom knowledge and understanding Because we're disseminating a message We're spreading this message And it got to make we got to make sure That we're leading people in the right way And that we're doing things the right way So now on marlith king day This is trending I'm talking about it on on the day of Having a dream of unity This right here and see that that so really when you sensitive to the spirit When you sensitive to the spirit although we can't although we can't worship man When you sensitive to the spirit Jeep god what god gonna do in a time like that God not gonna give you a message That diverts attention From the goal of this day So the goal of this day is for unity It's for the races To come together And to love one another and to work together For the greater good So the message Could have been on Having a heart after after god and how jesus Talked to the adulterous woman And showed grace Talked to the tax collector talked to the centers Talked to the people of other nationalities And showed love showed grace showed favor invited them into the body The message could have been there When you sensitive to the spirit It's not gonna take you somewhere Because god gonna do things decent and in order And see this what i'm trying to say is that's what we got to get down So right here on ESPN they talking about marlith king They talking about marlith king And i don't worship marlith king A lot of times i don't even post it But i share the message Because i don't really i being a man i don't stamp men I don't stamp men meaning i don't stamp humans i don't stamp women either Meaning i don't praise or put someone on a pedestal And i don't want to be praised and put on a pedestal myself Contrary to popular belief people think that if you talking And if you building a following for one i'm not building a following sharing a message that god gave me The following building itself I'm not doing no tricks. I am i'm not doing a clickbait I don't put i don't use keywords and tags on my videos. I don't use custom thumbnails You'll see other speakers that's teaching they doing all other tricks of the trade They using custom thumbnails meaning the picture that you see it got words on it It got graphics they using the description box They saying please hit the like button hit the subscribe button. I don't say none of that Because if it don't bill it don't bill I want to be for who god got me for but see we carnal minded so people can't even see that difference Until i just stated the difference in plain clear site There was thousands of people Who will see this video at this point and not even realize that they never hear me Say hit get the likes up hit the like button Hit the subscribe button They they didn't even realize that Because when we carnal minded we don't see the spiritual differences We don't see when somebody is chasing fame And somebody who's not chasing fame We don't see when somebody will do anything to go viral and when somebody won't do nothing to go viral We don't see the difference And we put everything in the same boat and that's it's a lot and that's why I say It's a lot of times women put my name in the same sentence With a man with men who working Directly for Satan But using a cover up Of purity But because those women aren't because those women want a husband Because those women want love Because those women are desperate for love desperate for a man Desperate for a father They cannot see the difference between the male speakers The male leaders and they lump us all in the same because of their desperation But when you get to a place to where you have spiritual understanding You will see the difference and that's why I tell people all the time in due time The real will be separated from the fake In due time The fake will expose themselves because they will get drunk and high on fame On money and on virality Going viral But those who have been called will stay humble and remain a servant Will look like playing Playing Playing James Well, you won't In a in a dry fit in an old hotel It's going to be a difference And you got to be able to tell the difference To know Who you listening to and what this person wants What this person want out of what they're doing Some people won't fame Some people won't pray. Some people won't know the right. Some people want a bunch of money And some people Want to see change Now fame notoriety money may be a byproduct Of doing pure work But it's not manipulated and Contrived or set up by the messenger That right there is just It's the byproduct. It's god doing it. It's god saying I'm gonna elevate you because you read it See god didn't elevate me early on He let me make my mistakes Before my brand started to to go viral He let me make bad the bad choices that I failed the areas I failed in and had to get up and repent and brush myself off That had to be done Before my brand started to grow So that I could be trusted But see some people they shout out of a cannon And it ain't god pan It's a secular world It's a sacrilegious world It's a lukewarm world because we live in a world that people want to be lukewarm People want religion to be just about Folklore they want it to be about just fun just just something to check off a box to say i'm a good person They don't want the work They don't want the sacrifice So the speakers and the teachers who gonna water it down who gonna make it cool who gonna make it help Who gonna make it viral who gonna make it popular? That's what they want because they still want to fit in They still want to be cool. They still want to but you got to realize who god called is a peculiar people They're gonna be looked at as strange It's gonna be it ain't gonna be viral It ain't gonna be mainstream It's gonna be the narrow road It's gonna be narrow. It's gonna be quiet. It's gonna be lonely It's gonna be different You can't be mainstream And be all the way for god because it's a direct difference It's a direct difference And people trying to go mainstream and that's why they're going through a divorce Because they want to be mainstream That's why they stepping outside of the will of god and doing ignorant stuff in the pool pool pit because they want to be mainstream Can't focus on mainstream Got to be independent like jesus was Got to be able to do what you need to do and say what you need to say and not worry about being counsel Because you know it's in line with what you instructed to be doing And you can't get bigger than the program and get beside yourself So listen sit with this hill Sit on this, you know, and god bless you. Hope you can understand the message and the point and where i'm coming from Not everybody will be able to And i understand that the brother could say the same thing too say not everybody gonna understand it Not everybody understand what god told me to do and what god was ministering to me. But listen That god is not the author of confusion. The bible say that God ain't the author of confusion now So what i mean is the world The world will be confused The non believers will be confused by our stance But when you got Real believers Who walk with god who talk with god who suck with god who really living for god When you got real believers confused God ain't in that because god not in in in in confusion of the body Yes, we're gonna confuse the world. We're gonna confuse the non-believer. But when you got believers Confused but god ain't in that And we got to check ourselves. We got to check ourselves And get in get get in right standing and be sensitive to the spirit before we spread the Messages any kind of way Because we want to go viral. Hey, this Tony Jackson. God bless him By the given some lunch got speaking game in that four-thirds of the day And hopefully the video going up. God bless you. We'll talk soon
