 You have eternal life because you are searching scripture. This is not the word. I want you to know. I'm still a man Jesus never reached his potential Stunt I refuse. I just want him. I Just want my dad for a passion is enough for me. I don't need anyone As I'm here today, I'm gonna be talking about the third eye boom the third eye Hear my voice Hear my voice Hear the voice of God Wherever you are I Stare the waters Fire the only ghost The question is because we see this all the time. We see it every day. We see it every week We see it every month Every time you go to YouTube every time if you go to whatever social media platform be it Facebook be it Instagram Twitter, I still need to get on Twitter. I haven't got on Twitter yet You name it Someone is going to be able to post something that somebody in the pulpit has done That is completely ungodly and the problem is though When people in the pew can easily detect it matter of fact when people who are outside the church can easily Detect what is heresy then we've got a problem and the issue is the question is why why are There why are there so many bad preachers out there? Why are there so many pastors out there who are just not qualified ungodly? What is it that's happening out there that just brings about this onslaught? I understand that the population of America and the population of the entire world has grown And so with more people you're going to get more people who are unqualified as well But still you would think it wouldn't be this bad and you would think the Christians who are starving for an actual word Would have an issue with that many of you are all are familiar with some of the things that transpired with Mike Todd at transformation church the whole Easter debacle and him coming out and trying to give a I Guess an excuse as to what happened his reasons why he did but the fact of the matter is There's no excuse him saying that he's trying to attract people who Wouldn't otherwise come in I Don't have a problem with you trying to bring in people who wouldn't otherwise come in but they were there already You didn't have to break or dumb down the word. There's there's no need for that And so case we forgot and here are some of the things that Mike Todd has said Church until we believe this we look at people on the street who smoke as less than us instead of as my brother and sister You look at the person who's walking into the gay nightclub as an enemy instead of your brother and sister Everybody's not going to heaven Now in this in this little exchange that he's having in this term that he's having he He made some statements that kind of made it seem as though that This particular person or a gay person is our brother. Well, you might want to clarify that What do you mean? Are you are you saying somebody that's struggling or someone that is is full-fledged in and that's their lifestyle because it would seem to mean That you're not really struggling anymore if you're going to the nightclub that would that would be my issue and He doesn't do a good job of one taking the stand some of you all heard is The the video or the sermon that he gave where he said I don't know if it's right or wrong I just know what the word says and if it were me I would have Could you maybe god do it this way and and so forth is like well, you're not taking a stand On the word of god, which is what a pastor a pastor who Mike Todd is a young one at that Is what he's supposed to do correct Because god gave everybody choice I'm about to drop some knowledge on you that that that everybody has to be able to receive And this may be a shocking statement for some people, but people don't go to hell for sin Jesus already paid for that They go to hell You should first of all if you're going to say something like i'm going to say something that that's shocking That's that it's only a red flag. There are some things that okay You're digging deep into the word because you're an exposer And when you are expositing on the scripture when you expand on the scripture, there are going to be some things that some folks just Didn't know. Okay. I get that But you're not known as as an exposer. That's not that's not really who you are what you are And so it kind of just rings hollow when Mike Todd says something like that What do you mean mike What is that you're trying to say and I I'll be honest with you guys I have tried to give Mike Todd the uh, what's going on over here I've tried to give Mike Todd the benefit of the doubt in the past. I've tried to Maybe he's just Let's just go back to what he's saying belief Yeah, put these over here The host love the hostess. Okay. Here we go Dumb dums cheetos. Matter of fact, I need everything come put some of it down here on the floor because Oh doughnuts Yes, we love doughnuts. Lucky charm. What's your favorite cereal? uh, recent so He does this thing where he tries to be kind of I don't know. What's the way? How do you put it? He tries to be relative relevant? uh, and When you listen to him, he's anything but relevant if Yeah, he said he he said that word he said that word and But anyway, let's let's continue crunch Sugar with a crunch come on The blood of jesus. I need to prepare yourself The blood of jesus did not just erase the sins of transformation church It did not just erase the sins of christians It did not even just erase the sins of believers It erased the sins of the whole world Sit with that People do not go to hell for sin jesus He didn't know his bible because Everyone does not have everyone has had an eternal life everybody um, it's on their way to hell for sin You do go to hell for sin That's why now you can avoid going to hell because of sin by having faith But again, this guy is he's just all over the place. And so Here's some more famous things that he said already paid for that People go to hell for unbelief And this is one of the thoughts I want to end with if it's okay Jesus never reached his potential Now I know this is messed with a lot of people theology Because since I've been young everybody's like mike you need to reach your potential everything that god said and And put in inside of you it needs to happen But when I study the scriptures, he never reached his potential Can I say something to you that you maybe never thought of? jesus Was god let let me go back. Let me go to go back. Let me just go back Standing behind him when he makes that statement that jesus never reaches full potential I think it's two pastors. I think it's two pastors Both of them should have grabbed him But then again, neither of these two pastors are also Known for being sharp or staunch or strong in the work But now this last one this is where he the church is giving away some money. They give him some money to this lady I understand I understand why she doesn't Flip out Now I would imagine though that many people in the church when they hear what he's getting ready to say They don't walk they don't walk out. Anyway. I mean the his church is growing His church is growing for for a particular reason. We'll talk about about that particular reason in just a second God's tithe Happened, but when I study the scriptures, he never reached his potential Can I say something to you that you maybe never thought of? jesus was god's tithe He sent his only and his first son On a maybe So that he could get an entire family of people to believe So jesus was god's tithe Can you tell us what you mean? There's no way you can tell us what you mean At least biblically because that's just made up. That's you just trying to be smart or slick or profound or deep no But again, he he is not the only one we'll get into some more of this But at his church what's happening is he is Presenting his church in a way to where it's appealing to the world It's not calling the world to repentance not calling the world to change Now, obviously we're not necessarily saying hey change before you walk in the door But walk in the door expecting a change You come here There should be an expectation of the lord changing you We get that people who are not believers who happen to come into the church are not going to Act and display all the traits of a believer truth be told a lot of us christians don't always display those traits but the fact is you are warning them to stay that way and The one area that we're seeing this happen more and more at his church and more churches also Is in this area of people's sexuality Where you're making people comfortable In their sexuality as though you know what i'm not there's no pressure I don't feel you should feel when you walk into a church of all places When you walk into a church really when you walk around other believers when someone comes around you This is how important should be when someone even comes around you They should feel convicted about sin certain things it should be that when someone comes around you They don't feel comfortable cussing It should be when someone comes around you and they're saying sexual things like that. They shouldn't feel comfortable When they go to a church, they should just not they shouldn't feel comfortable and there should be a A tug at your heart. There should be some sort of conviction now The holy spirit is trying to do so Whether it be a believer or a non-believer The holy spirit is trying is is there's a conviction even amongst unbelievers That this sin doesn't sit right even amongst the lgbtq community Because again, I've said this before you find me the next happy Smiling constantly joyful lgbtq member that you find will be the first one that you find that's happy joyful Holy complete that will be the first time they don't exist now They'll tell you that and so there's a level even with them of some conviction And they want people to affirm them I get that we all want to be affirmed in some way shape or fashion But at the church you that that shouldn't be the case And so because this church is also becoming more and more friendly And accepting of a lifestyle now, they'll tell you that uh, it's wrong But the way they push it or the way they make it because when was the last time you hear him speaking about this In a way that all the christians can say, you know, yeah, he preached that right But what does he do instead? There's a young man. I can't I don't know the I don't know the young man's name I don't know if he's on staff or what have you but he he preached at this The series cuff cuff to something whatever Matter of fact the one where he he said the hoes loved the whole hoes That was cuff to I forgot what it was called cuff to something. I'm not sure what it was But then you have another person who said the same thing there Who comes back behind him and preaches. I don't know the guy's name But you all tell me is there something about this young man He's a young man who's preaching. Is there something about him that sticks out? Zacchaeus you weren't made to be up in a tree you come down Because there's only one person this tree is made for 2000 years ago. Jesus climbed The last tree that would ever need to be climbed and he stretched out his arms and he said it is finished they ain't got It's just that when you see him say that two things first of all, it's almost like he's just saying it He's just extra fabulous with it. This is a man Yeah There's some there's some issues now I I see what he's trying to do because again, he's trying to be He's trying to be profound There's no need for you to climb this tree. This is the last tree anybody's gonna have to climb Jesus well, first of all, it's a different tree number one and Zacchaeus was in an actual tree With with branches and leaves and so forth and when we say that Jesus hung on a tree We don't mean that he was actually the tree that was planted Nope, I I get where you're trying to go. You just went to the wrong place But when you look at this man It's hard to get past even if what you did not but even if he did which he did not but even if he did Use the scriptures properly How hard would it be to get past just the imagery of this person in this hot pink Well-fitting sort of I don't are these will these be considered skin jeans the jacket hot pink The hair the makeup the mannerisms. It's hard to get past that is you gotta climb no more trees I'm simply asking you to uncuff from your climbing and just Surrender to the call just receive Receive the call That's the only that's that's the big decision before you Are you tired? Are you worn out? Are you burned out on religion? That's one of the things that you say nowadays is you bring up religion people who are religious and religion The bible cannot the bible does not speak negatively about religion Now there are people who might be legalistic That's different. That's different But when we say religion or religious people it's kind of cold for people who Nowadays tend to be more Tied or tethered to the word If you are tied or tethered to the word then they're going to be people. They're going to call you religious They're going to call you Pharisees and so forth, but Jesus never once Never once said that these people are tied to the word of god what he did impugned them for was there be them being tied to their own traditions And the oral traditions But their heart was wicked. He said their mouths were there, but their hearts are far away from them We don't see Jesus saying these Pharisees they got it Matter of fact one of the better Pharisees that we see Jesus coming in contact with is nick of demons And he what does he say he impugned him you a teacher of israel. You don't know this How could that be what because again Pharisees to the people were known to to adhere to the word But Jesus made it clear they did not they did not This isn't me talking this is matthew 28 By the way ladies, what what did you call that stuff when when when women Do their eyebrows and they is there like something? What is it when you paint the eyebrows to make them thicker and kind of square it off? Is that is that a particular technique? I'm not I'm not sure. Why aren't you happy with the eyebrow? My daughter does that and I say sweetheart. Don't you like the eyebrows that me your mom and god gave you? She says no. She says no, so martin. Thank you for the super chat. I appreciate that For a man to do that It's called it's called. Okay penciling or whatever. Okay threading arched whatever whatever it is Fellas if you're doing that stop it Fellas if you're doing that stop it Come away with me Work with me watch me Walk with me. This is the invitation of jesus matthew 28. He says are you tired? Are you worn out? Are you burned out on religion get away with me? And I will give you rest for your soul There are times where you want to use your hands and so forth and I do too But I can tell you this ladies you might not agree with this, but Let's see my my eyes caught that my eyes caught that my eyes caught that Said core you need some more threading. Okay, it ain't gonna happen They ain't gonna happen. Listen. I'm an advocate uh for the hairless not for more hair But there are times where I'll use my hands and so forth, but I am listen if my wrist bends a little too much One way or the other I feel uncomfortable I feel displeased about myself I feel like I've let me and myself and god down I feel like my father Is begging god. No not my heavenly father, but my earthly father is begging god. Can I go back and slap this boy? I'm not no There's an issue with our men today who seem to want to be more of this way We have a problem This is a side note guys. Let me just say this and this is this to the men You all understand how how I talk to men and how I how I treat men And what I expect of men now I'm gonna hold these expectations until you show me that you can't live up to them But I expect certain things out of uh, man. Yeah, he that's it. That's it. Nehemi. He by the way good name Nehemi says that he looks gay The fact of the matter is that should never come out of any man's opinion about you No one should ever say listen. You can say a lot of things about me. I don't care what you say But you know what? I've never heard a man say that guy. Yeah, Cory's gay There's no there's no homosexual allegations or what happened. Thank you for super chat, uh, Ethan That that's just something that just shouldn't come out Hey, the guy's a the guy's a mass murderer The guy's a liar the guy's an embezzler the guy's this the guy's that That guy looks gay. I wonder that shouldn't We have not taught me in how to be mean we've not taught boys how to be mean And there's a distinction between males and females And god gave us those distinctions and expects us to live that way when jesus is speaking about when he's comparing the the jewish leaders the rulers with John the baptist You didn't he said you didn't see john coming in this malachorist. He's these soft clothing this feminine clothing Well, i'm sorry young brother you look very feminine with your with your eyebrows It look you might have someone on your lips. I'm not sure I don't impugn a person on stage where there's a lot of lights, but they shut with the With a powder so that they don't have a little shine or what have you I don't I've seen men do that Just so they won't look a certain way But the earrings the the hair That's a problem That's a problem speaking of sexuality We do have people out there who They're bad preachers who are just kind of conforming to the world There are other bad preachers who bring some of the worldly behaviors of sin into the church And also want you to not be bothered or to be upset when they do these things in the church You know such as sleeping with the women in the church And now unashamedly have a Bentley in the back That to the world would say I'm the man now this was after The whole issue came out about him Having his affair and the famous the famous sermon that jamal gave jamal brine gave That He steeled the man Not a good look now. No humility whatsoever Flunked out of Baltimore City College High School Went to the community college and got a GED 2005 after studying At oxford in england received my doctorate of ministry degree That would say to me i'm the man Sonnet off on wea a rating no No That's not how you do it I get I get the whole I want to be tough I get the whole bravado. I get the whole, you know, I want to want to conquer the ladies I get all that I get all that But there comes a point in time where humility needs to take over first of all You shouldn't have even been in the pulpit at that time. Anyway, sit your tail down. You are disqualified Now does that mean he's disqualified forever? The bible's not clear But at least at that moment he's disqualified and then the heart behind him The the lack of humility But you notice who's up there clapping and I didn't I don't I'm not going to play the whole thing But you hear and see a lot of women clapping But then what does the bible say that these silly women are led captive by these sort of people Sunday nights Show called keeping it real And now i'm internationally televised On four different cable networks And to the world that would say i'm the man And I don't want people to think that i'm really not a man When I am the man because people want to know what is my future? What is my destiny? The yes you are a man that fell but you are a man that got back up again So let me say to all of you who are here and i'm finished. I want you to know I'm still the man in spite of what it is that god has in fact provided me through In spite of my failures in spite of my shortcomings in spite of my failures in spite of me falling down I'm still the man if you're not here next week. I'm still preacher if you don't come tuesday I'm still preacher if you turn the tv off next sunday night I'll still be preacher because the anointing on my life is greater than any mistake. I want all Martin says Thank you for the super chat. He says that he's probably playing i'm too sexy for my shirt before the odds go Yeah One thing he definitely believes about himself is that he is the man listen true words were never spoken As far as a person believing them He believes every single thing that he says i'm the man Now i don't necessarily believe in this this bible like y'all I think y'all should believe in it or i'm telling you but i believe in me I believe in me and so and i want you guys know in case you forgot in case you think that i think differently about myself No, i am i am the man or i is the man is i am or is i ain't the man i'm the man Okay, so what does he do? Because he's interested in the attention. So what does your ma brian do? Jamal brian says, you know what? It's getting a little hot in baltimore. It's not enough room for me. Let me let me spread out. And so what does he do? Go to atlanta where? i'm sorry people i'm sorry people of atlanta, but you guys have A problem down there. Yeah, brian. Listen, there's no shortage brian carns one of them. There are a lot But i want you all to stick around I want you to see where i'm getting ready to go. I'm getting ready to go somewhere in just a minute i'm getting ready to go somewhere and oh i don't know about What time is it in about six and a half maybe seven point five minutes? What is point five? I i can't do with point five because i don't know why i said point five But about six seven eight minutes. I'm getting ready to go somewhere So i want you guys to stick around that but now what he's doing right now is He's now placated to the political crowd in atlanta atlanta is a is a is a political hotbed Uh, especially amongst Yeah, camera is is 30 seconds. Duh Duh but He is placating to The politically motivated crowd or just the black crowd in atlanta. So now what does he do? He is fully entrenched with the democratic party And one of the hallmarks of the party seems to be abortion on demand And so what does he do? He actually has the audacity to have a baby dedication service While speaking about aborting babies at the service all of us all over this room Would you do me a favor? Would you celebrate the women around you who are competent enough To make decisions about their bodies decisions about their life and decisions about their future Now something he's going to say i've covered this before but i have Every time i think of him i'm not going to play the whole part But it's just just a just a small smidgen of this because again, i'm going somewhere. I am going somewhere with this Everyone that is watching This message is to you Up with this measure that has just taken place a baby black baby infant mortality is going to rise by 30 percent at 30 Jesus accepted his call to ministry At 30 at the risk of being heretical tonight might i suggest to you? That 85 percent Of jesus's life He was out of order. I don't know why more people have not played this clip I don't know why many people on youtube have not played that clip That tells you all you need to know about this person's ability to get up and speak the gospel of people in a church That tells you all you need to know So the question is why is he there? But there's a bigger question that i'm coming to but now what does he do? He hooks up with The great doctor Profit who we've covered before and we've talked about his false prophecies, which means he can't be a prophet Which means we don't have any business listening to him But he shows up in his church because now what he's doing listen jamal is trying to cover all the angles He's talking about a new gospel for people who can't control themselves sexually. He's talking about Weed growing and so forth He's talking about all these things as it relates to politics, but then he brings this guy in who wants to start Laying hands on folks and and prophesying and folks falling out. Yeah He he there's no angle that jamal won't take and even going and bringing in lovey alias He's not he didn't have a problem with doing that as well everyone that is watching This message is to you man of god The lord showed me a vision And I saw you sitting you see the your throne. I said the throne of wakanda I Saw god really sitting you on a on a throne and I saw a crown that was coming on your head Can you imagine how that's going over with with jamal the man is telling him in front of everybody That yeah, I see god bless you sitting on a throne and a crown coming on your head Those who are clapping they'll be part of the blessing Yeah, so clap if you want to get part of the blessing as well Great way and I mean great way to draw the crowd in to get them to agree what you're supposed to do If you're selling especially if you're selling some crap like he's doing that's a great That is an awesome way to bring it in kin aims. Thank you for the super chat. That's a wonderful way to do it Why Why more don't do it? Well, they are they are they'll tell you to so we'll see to do this do that What have you for the benefit of their ministry? But if you do so you'll get blessed and we all want to get blessed now prophet Elias Doctor, I'm sorry. Let me let me not slander the man doctor prophet Lovi allies Has also bad doctor. I want you to hear what he says about Well two things first of all, I want you to hear what he says about the trinity But then I also want you just What in the world is he wearing? If you look in scripture You will never find the word trinity It is not in the scripture But that doesn't mean the doctrine of the trinity is not in the bible From the time you open the bible, it's there The word Elohim itself means god in his plurality Just that name itself should settle it Now so what you do is you you make a point that that's true Or that has some true aspects to it That way you can go ahead and build Or make a false assertion or something that's just not true. Listen to what he says About the trinity or if you don't like the trinity if if you rather just say jesus god the holy spirit is god Obviously god the father's god, which is what I believe And he's right the the concept is there and I get it. It's hard looking past the the extra long blouse and skirt that he has on I get that but and then the long hair But Listen what he says In the beginning god created the heavens and the earth And the earth was without form and the spirit of god was hovering over the water Notice it's just shown you two personalities of god there God and then his spirit Then you keep reading he says let us make money in our image Wait if god his spirit means he has no image now god has an image a form It means there is a personality of god within god that has a form So he's saying he's got there's two at least two personalities If he would have just stuck with the persons. Okay, we get that but personalities and then and then he says that there's two person It's hard to make this stuff up and But I think he's he's entertaining one because of the way he dresses And so what does he say about about the word of god? You think you have eternal life because you're searching scripture. This is not the word The word is jesus This is called scripture. There is no eternal life in this But in the church we use scripture And the word interchangeably Yet they are not Yeah Not even close I didn't say this The lord jesus said that If your pastor doesn't like it then he doesn't believe in the bible Listen to what the bible says It's one of those things that you do where you tell people Hey, listen, if you don't believe this, you don't love the love the lord If your pastor doesn't believe this there's something's wrong with him Not the wrong with me because what are they not going to do because you hear people in the background? They're cheering. They're saying yeah But it makes you even feel ashamed about going and looking at the scripture in a second I mean looking up the scripture for yourself, but just in just a second I'm going to show you why we're covering this in this fashion Believe god And you'll be what established Believe his prophet and you will prosper So your faith is not only in jesus your faith should be in who is sent to you Come on deep So his point is Listen to the prophets And you should be established use of prosper Let's go to the pastor that he's referring to this is in second chronicles chapter 20 verse 20 he says They rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of tekoa And when they went out joseph had stood and said listen to me Oh, juda and inhabitants of jresland Put your trust in the lord your god and you will be established put your trust in his prophets and succeed What is he saying? Well, first of all a couple things number one He's an act there are actual prophets there Now we know he's not because we've covered this one did we won't do it right now But we've covered the prophecies that he's given before in the past We've covered this before Plus the very fact if you heard the intro him saying that Passion prophet passion whatever his name is a possible. I'm not sure what the guy's passion whatever his name is Is his father daddy papa all These words that come out of these men's mouth this adoration for each other is is kind of bothersome And so clearly he is without question disqualified one because of the false prophecy two because of the rank heresy that he has Spat out the proverbs 1533. Thank you for the super chat. I appreciate that My man on that christian a fashion nova. Yes. He is Yes, yes I don't know if if apparently someone tells him and tell these guys. Hey listen what you got on that sharp I love what you're wearing me personally No If you knock on my door and come to my door and want to come in. No, it's not that kind of party. Sorry now I don't know that he's Whatever but still can't come in because You're gonna make my couch feel bad You're gonna make my cat feel bad my dog feel bad You're gonna make everybody else in the house with bad because no one else is dressed for the occasion that you're dressed for so But there's a reason why i'm covering this The question is why do we have so many bad pastors? Why are there so many bad pastors? Huh, can anyone Venture to guess as to why they there are so many bad pastors in the world And it's gonna make sense if you don't know the answer already When you think about it Yeah, that makes sense Why are there so many bad pastors? well For the same reason There's a lot of cell phones For the same reason there are a lot of cars For the same reason There's fast food places For the same reason there are streaming services Why There is a demand for it There is a demand for foolishness and stupidity in the pulpit. Yes, there is Yes, there is why? Well for one I saw someone put it up. They do have itching ears What we covered this passage before but i want to all but i'm not i'm not saying this to impugn them They'll have their reward as a matter of fact. Let's let's impugn them But also the audience that i mean to speak to today in Second Timothy let's start in first Verse 10 second Timothy 3 verse 10 now you followed my teaching conduct purpose Faith patient love perseverance persecution and sufferings Such as happened to me at aniac and iconium and listra What persecutions i endured and out of them all the lord rescued me lay man paul Indeed all who desire to live godly in christ will suffer or will be persecuted I don't think we talked about that enough I don't think we covered that enough a lot of us would much rather just have the nice comfortable life And so because there's this demand for this comfortable life There's someone that's going to that is going to try to meet that demand Even if it's not Actually realize they'll try to nowadays meet it virtually Or just in promises but look what he says verse 13, but evil men And imposters such as the ones we're talking about today Will proceed from will proceed from bad to worse. They'll go from worse to worse to worse from bad to bad to worse to worse to worse Deceiving and being deceived They are deceived and they are deceiving others Now do you all think that because they are deceived That god is going to grant them a pass No problem, sir. I know you were deceived even though you deceived the masses You get a free pass No, it's not gonna happen What he says but evil men imposters though. They are deceived themselves. He calls them evil and imposters And they will deceiving others and will be deceived. What happens to those folks who are also deceived What happens to the people who are deceived by the deceivers? Will god also grant them pass Is god going to say listen Because you were deceived. It's okay No As a matter of fact the one thing that I have that you have That even they have and the people that they are deceiving have in common What do we all have in common guys? What's the one thing that I can say that I have That you have that we all have in the exact same measure That's it the bible We can have it in paperback form hardback on our Computers on our laptops on our phone. It's the same work The same work irrespective of the translation. We've got the message Why is that important because what paul says is all scripture is inspired by god Not inspired by these guys, but inspired by god Why it's profitable for teaching Which incidentally, how come you rarely see teaching? You rarely see them going through the scriptures and going through the words in context and breaking it down Why is that? Why don't we see that? Well, first of all, that is one of the qualifications by the way of a pastor being able to teach Then he says it's uh teaching For reproof what is reproof when someone says or thinks the wrong thing then you give them proof you reproof them There's the correcting because it says what it says for correction for training in righteousness So that the man of god Now this is man and this is male and female because it's the greek word and the post the man of god or the woman of god May be adequate Equipped for every good work. You have all that you need where in the word of god That's where you get it from Not from him or anyone else granted God does give pastors There are pastors that god Um supposedly hopefully has gifted before the people to be able to teach That person should be trusted by the people not to be perfect But be trusted to that we this guy is going back At his own at his own pace at home Studying the scriptures So that when a person has a question when we're going through the scriptures that he can give it to in a way Now he may he may say something that we disagree with that i disagree with But i trust him enough to know that The majority of what he's speaking as a matter of fact, it's a rarity that i'm disagreeing with him Because you the likelihood especially if you are being a brian yourself If you are studying yourself the likelihood is that you might come across something an issue that you don't quite see Eye to eye with on your pastor or your church. That's fine But if you trust him and you should trust that they know how to work the scriptures And you can even see why some people look at it this way or some look at it that way. That's fine You're gonna have that and then you should be able to have someone in church and you can say hey listen I'm not seeing this the same way. What do you think? It could be you because sometimes when you disagree with the pastor, it's not necessarily that the pastor's wrong It might be you So but you're in a church at a local body That will always be ready to as the bible says give her proof Or we'll be able to receive her proof But again, the reason why we've got this guy is the reason why this is prevalent in our churches because people just want to hear something And we should not be under any illusion That the masses that go to church And when I say church the the organized gathering We should not be under any illusion that the masses that go to this organized church This gathering this meeting which by the way is what the word means and I'm going to have to cover the word Yeah, the word is made up of ec which is out of and then classia called out But we in english take two words and put them together and it doesn't mean those two words Yes, the church are the folks that are called out so to speak But what the word those two words put together really means is the assembly the congregation the gathering But all of those folks are also believers and so it's not it's not a point to that we should divide over but When you get together There are a large portion of people that go to churches Not necessarily your church. I'm not saying that in your church the majority Or there's a large portion of people that go to your church that aren't saved that aren't actual believers But just in general of all the churches in america and all the churches that are in canada And all the churches that are in south america and all the churches that are in the uk And all the churches that are in africa the middle east and asia china russia and all those churches Everybody there is not saved Everybody there is not a christian. What's happening is people are getting A tiny droplet of christianity And inside of a big bowl of the world Live how you want to live be how you want to be There should be no sort of fruits now granted. We're not checking your fruits It'd be kind of hard to do so But you should be checking your own fruit You should know if you are growing you should now Sometimes people can see As a matter of fact the close we are there are times where we will notice. Hey bob Hey, mary. Hey frank. Hey soup. I notice how you handle this situation this time versus the last time Hey, man And because when we see how other people as the bible says see their good works Then what we do glorify god including christians So we should see that the church should be leading people to be that way the church should be leading people to be of a certain way To where others can see it. Is that the way it is all the time? No, there's going to be ups and downs ups and downs ups and downs And truth be told There's going to be more downs and we would like not as much ups as I said ups is ups as we like And there are there in granted there are those folks that are looking at all of your downs They are magnifying and multiplying all the down periods you've had in your life And multiplying all the ups they had in their life And so they want to get the impression that they are always on top and you're always low so Me and my I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to address that in a second me and my so That is not our call. We do want to help others along We do want to understand that everybody is going through something everybody's struggling in some way super professional And maybe and maybe at this point in time. I feel good about my walk. I feel good But you suck in your walk right now. You're horrible in your walk Right now right now you're going to hell me. I'm going to heaven matter of fact I'm driving the car to heaven you guys aren't at the very back of the bus It's a big bus with a bright red racing stripe down the side going to hell You know how we do people sometimes? We don't want to do that. We're not doing that. No, no no half a kc. We're not talking about work salvation We're just saying that salvation that that should bring about some works because as jesus says that people will see their good works and then glorify God that's all we're saying But if you're at a church There should be some conviction There should be Because you're preaching the word of god the word of god brings about conviction. You know what me being gay And living this way me being mean and evil and wrathful Me being covetous Me being all these different things that are not in the fruit that are not a byproduct of the spirit I shouldn't find comfort in that I'm sleeping with four or five women and they all go to this church. I shouldn't feel comfortable that way Heaven forbid if i'm sleeping with four or five guys and they all go to this church I shouldn't feel comfortable that way The church should not be a place to go to feel good about your sin It should be a place to feel good about the overcoming of your sin That's how it's supposed to be But not here, but we have paul making a statement. He says in second timothy chapter four We've covered this before he says i charge you solemnly to preach the word Preach the word he says be ready in season and out of season that means all the time Even a slow people can figure that out in season out of season all the time Yes, there are men and dollars, but i am from in the i am from the great city country locale Sovereign nation of indianapolis indiana. Yes, i am Which i ought to go ahead and drink a little bit out of my out of my uh My mug just for thank you for reminding me of that But i'm also down here in dallas right now But look what he says he says reprove You've covered that before reprove Rebuke that means when someone has Unhealthy or bad teaching he says rebuke Exhort encourage them listen I don't care who you are You need to be encouraged and you need to encourage others That's why he says don't neglect the assembling together of others Have some as some have done, but we want to stir up others Hey, man, angela indianapolis indiana is in the house uh We want to encourage others Because how long did it take you To finally for to sink in someone kept encouraging you or there was some sort of encouragement along the way So he says with exhort with great patience it may they may not get right as fast you want them to get right And so that's fine. That's fine But let's not let's not be satisfied with keeping people in sin That's the issue For the time will come and here it is this is why we have so many bad teachers preachers When they will not endure sound doctrine, but wanting to have their ears tickled They will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires and will turn away from their ears Turn their ears away from the truth and will turn aside to myths But you be sober in all things endure hardship. Do the work of an evangelist fulfill your ministry now Let's bring this home Let's bring this home while everyone is in the chats bringing up their own city Let's bring this home The issue that we have today Isn't so much them Yes, they see an opportunity as paul says they see The gospel or the ministry as a means of gain When god and this should be gain should be the game they're looking for there are people like that They're gonna rules are gonna come in false prophets false teachers We're not talking about them We're not talking about lowly alias. We're not talking about jamal bryan. We're not talking about mike tot We're not talking about all the rest of them that make it that are making a mockery of the of the body and of the word No, that's not what we're doing. We're talking about us And we're talking about the people that frequent these places One of the things that we need to do is make sure that if we come across a person who is seeing this Don't be afraid to say listen You might not want to listen to that person or follow that person. Here's why this is what they're saying And if if that person is the pastor And doesn't line up with scriptures and there is example upon example upon example upon example of a pastor not doing so Well, then we got a problem And how how are you led? If the local shepherd is going the wrong way Now I have been praying me and my I said when is kori going to be a pastor? well, me and my You guys remember said I was praying about if Well, I will say this the if part for me has has been taken care of there is no more if to it I at some point time. I'm going to plant just don't know when That's the issue don't know when and so because what I want to do is Because the pastor needs to one be able to deal with the people You're not to be an international pastor Or a jet-setting pastor Well, where's pastor bob at pastor bob is oh, he's in Iowa today preaching. Oh, he's in california preaching He's in he's in chicago preaching. He's But wait a second don't they have them I get going in different places for conferences and meetings and so forth But you should be what about us Now he also needs to be teaching other people to be To come up behind him under him and with them Because he can't be the lone person and you see that with a lot of these people they have this particular personality to where I've got to be the star It's about me And I give I get I set the direction I it's all about me. I I I again. I'm the man As we heard someone say I'm the man And so therefore Don't you forget it? What's the guy quick draw McGraw When the little donkey bob a louis would what would raise a question he'd say just a minute bob a louis He'd hit bob a louis and say just a minute bob a louis. I'll do the thinning around here That's not how a pastor is supposed to be that that's not how a pastor supposed to be so He want he needs to be able to tend to the people It's hard though the bigger the and there's nothing against a large church The bigger the church is or the more he's going to be stretched But he needs to be he needs to familiarize himself with as many people as possible And have others to do so as well. He's got to have men around him that he trusts He's got to have things set up to where if he can't take care of it because he can't like they told moses You need some people you need some help buddy And you do it can't it can't be about you moses because guess what this group here is growing People are having babies or we're growing and folks are joining in and sojourners are coming in and You need some help this too. It's too much for you So that being the case he's got to be able to delegate as well It can't be about him But he's got to be tied or as I say tethered to the word the word needs to be where he gets his marching orders from That's how it must be always The problem is though The reason why you've got a mic tied the reason why you've got some of these other people out here Is because folks want to see that I am convinced I am convinced I know that if you if you conduct church in that fashion And let me say this guys. I'm also I'm not so much against some props I don't think your whole stage should be turned into a theatrical show where the entire show Entire stage is one big prop. First of all, how much money is that to is that and then where could that be going? But you're trying to appeal to the people based on that I don't think that's the only way to get a large crowd now The truth is we want a large church We want a large body. We want as many people as possible But I think what has happened is that people have become Disappointed They've gotten to the habit of thinking that if you teach this way or preach this way then they won't come No, no, that's not true either Think about Jerusalem Think about the day of Pentecost think about Israel on that day What was The culture like in that day there was a battery in that culture There was a lot of sexual promiscuity in that culture There was a lot of sin in that culture. Of course, there was a lot of sin in that culture No one prior to the day of the day of Pentecost Was indwelt by the Holy Spirit And what do they do preach the word And what happened The body was added to daily Because they also taught the people who were coming to hear the word that we are all in this together I believe I had I had a conversation with a younger pastor one time matter of fact fairly recently about dogma And that we tend to hold the dogma too tightly. I said, no, no, no, not at all not at all We should be dogmatic. We should always be dogmatic about the word But but we forget that if you're going to be dogmatic about the word The word tells us to love So we should also be dogmatic about love loving others Whatever it teaches we should be dogmatic about that The things that we like the things we don't like but I believe though if If you're preaching the word of God if you're dealing with the people And if you do you can find do so in an entertaining fashion just don't Dumb down water down the word Don't make it say what it doesn't say don't make it appease until the people just because you want to tickle their ears Which by the way, I've never understood. I need to look into this. Why do we say tickling itchy ears? Why not scratching itchy ears? But anyway I I should look that up. Shouldn't I I should I'm I'm literally right here this word for tickling Okay It actually means to scratch I just I had to look that up real quick too. It's like, why are we saying tickling? I guess it's one of those words that we just bring in out of tradition To say tickle, but the word the word means to to scratch It means to scratch or to tickle. I guess it just means just to do this To rub it you can either rub it or scratch it. What have you tickle it? I don't know But they've got these these desires To want some stuff and you want you want so hard so much for these people to like you I really want you to like me so much so So much so That I'll twist these scriptures Well The bible Yeah, you know what and I that's a good way of putting it Byron. I don't have a problem with the person being charismatic you know being Outgoing and able to kind of move the word to where they can understand it without dumbing the word down bringing in Analogies and and figures of speech to make to make the word kind of come alive. I don't have a problem with that at all I don't have a problem with Really really exciting praise and worship music the problem that we have with some of these praise and worship groups That are really really good the pastors that that are preaching at their churches where they're really really good The pastor is really really bad What if and I said this before what if a well respected pastor That you think is well respected and can handle the scriptures has a pretty nice praise and worship group That even the young folk don't don't say folk like but they may actually they act wait. Wait a second everything that they sang was definitely correct they played well because Y'all do realize if you got if you've got someone playing music You don't want the piano player who the piano player loves the lord has got sound doctrine, but he can't play Well or she can't play you you don't want that you don't want the people up singing the vacant You don't want me leading the praise and worship group. You don't want me singing So you do want that aspect But if that person has been taught by a sound pastor We're not singing. There's a Actually, it's I feel bad because he's from Indianapolis. His name is Donald Lawrence. He has a song That brings up the tetragrammaton. I said these words when you say the words Yahweh When you say those four words that you're literally I'm hearing or saying the breath of God. That's not true at all It sounds good. It's wow really is that Yahweh Sounds good But that's a lie. That's not true That's not true at all made a sound made a song and the song even when you hear this I'm like, wow, that sounds good But everything in this song is a lie. It's made up What if that what if the person with that kind of musical talent had a person say, hey, no We're gonna do this right or you just won't be here How how cool would that be? That's what it's over over spiritualizing And you don't have to let the words say what it say teach the people what it says How to read it for themselves as well because I want you all to be in the pew pits Pew pits the pews. I'm getting pulpit. I want you guys to be in the pews to be ministers as well when you leave this place That's what I want That's what I want. Have I ever seen a false pastor come to repentance? I've seen it. I have seen it, but it's rare Um, well take it back. It's not rare. I've seen two types of pastors come to repentance The same way I've seen two types of people come to repentance Those people that come to repentance be they pastor or not They do so for two reasons Because of something on the inside Or something on the outside from within or without inside or outside How it happens on the inside there's something they they grow in the word they they get in the word and they just get convicted They get convicted Without from without on the outside Something on the outside does it Some some sickness they get caught in some sort of scandal. What have you they get taken down They get knocked down. They get beat up by the lord And on the outside it constrains and makes them get right There are pastors who have I've seen do so who have Um, you know what I was wrong guys forgive me I've seen that stuff not not as It's kind of rare unfortunately But I've also seen pastors who have been brought down to shame And what they went through Taught them And you see what's funny is you see both of those in the bible You see you see paul being Hurt being beat being You know being broken For all of us And made to be the person that we see you see that happened with peter You see these men going through these different steps Some of the things we don't see you think about a joseph the man that he became was not the person that he was When he was a 17 year old with the arrogance or pride that he had And the lack of wisdom but 13 years in prison I can testify with you joseph that will do a that will do quite a bit of a number on you If you are as the bible says with joseph the lord was with him There that's a good way of humbling you and keeping your eyes focused on that because for me I'm so glad that the the the adventure that i'm going to embark on Is happening after a great fall and then restoration Because wouldn't you rather have a fall wouldn't wouldn't you rather be post the fall? No one wants to be in the middle of the fall Those folks that haven't gotten to the fall yet Feel I feel bad for you but coming out of that the restoration process is beautiful I can I can tell you for a fact the restoration process is beautiful I told someone before I keep saying this and I don't think people believe me I don't think people believe me when I say this but I mean this I mean this is as in the in the chats Uh, I'm gonna say your name rodney, but it's as yeah. Okay. Yes. He he'll know this And my other buddy I saw I saw my other buddy in the chat. He's uh Mr. Uh, the christian who likes to fight I got some buddies from prison I got some buddies in prison Love the lord and we'll beat you Love the lord and we'll beat you I hadn't gotten totally saved yet but I've said this to him. I've said to other people. I haven't had a bad day yet. I haven't had a bad day Since 2020 when since being released Haven't had a bad day yet as a matter of fact even in prison hadn't had a bad day and probably I think the only the last bad day that I had was when I was Put into the shoe and when I said I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything if I had that One day I'll share with you guys. I haven't I'm not going to do it yet But why I'm out I haven't shared with you guys why I'm out But needless to say if I had done something to get put in the shoe if I'd been a bad guy in prison wouldn't be out I can I can identify with joseph when he says the lord was with me. I was with listen You find the person a s can tell you that was was I misbehaving on the compound? Was I bad by the way a s Do you think I was a bad example or a good example on the prison compound? I don't know you tell me I don't know if fighting christians is he still he can tell me uh or when I got another buddy Where is uh, I don't know if I saw him either if um if g knows in the chat I I thought I because people are watching you also They're watching you Uh, how long was I in prison? I was in prison for 13 I was gonna say glorious years 13 hard years rough. It was it was rough But he brought me out. Listen, I would never want to go through it again But I would not trade my my learning my experience for anything in the world Would not trade for anything in the world I want to go through it again, but I would not trade what I was taught how it grew me and how I deal with people Amen, amen. I'm definitely putting that chat on All of us who serve the lord in truth obeyed romans the 13 prison. Yes, you were a good exact. Thank you. Thank you See, he said uh, I was a gospel thug in prison. I wasn't a gospel thug in prison, but uh, there was a limit that you could go There were some times where I listen, I never got in a fight and beat anybody up But I did I I'll be honest with you tell the truth. Shame the devil. There were some guys that I did have to grab There was a matter of fact one guy kept playing with me. He he's he stole of all things stole my Hebrew book So my my I'm I go back to my to myself. He's got my book this is in Beaumont rough place and I would I had the the guy wouldn't get he said I'll give back what I'm through um I'm not that I'm not that Christian that you go, you know, so I had to I had to I had to grab the guy I could wrestle I can't I can't I can't do some things. I'm not I'm not Mike Tyson or anything like that whether and so I So but I wasn't a thug in prison. No, no, but again Because you do you know what and this what what applies to me should apply to you and it should apply to the churches Do you know people tolerate what you get what you put up with? You get This is for somebody You will get what you put up with Let me say it again You will get what you put up with I have a standard when you're gonna deal with me you'll know You never have to worry what I think what I feel about you some sort of ulterior feelings. Whatever I will tell you I'll come to you and tell you I expect the same from you I do not expect for you to treat me a certain way. I won't treat you a certain way I don't because guess what we don't have to we can live on the same planet. We just don't have to live in the same world We'll live on the same planet. We just won't live in the same world if that's like, which is fine Which is fine so Remember you get what you put up with And because you put up with foolishness heresy bad doctrine you'll get it And then you wonder why your life hadn't gotten right yet You'll wonder why all the promises that these clowns are making towards you that these people who are making a mockery These circus carnival barkers are putting you haven't received anything that they said that you're gonna get Yes, rough especially especially if you actually are around killers so There are people that are putting up with this foolishness from from the mic tides of the world from the the creflo dolls of the world from the from the Elevation churches of the world even the extra light Joel Osteens of the world There are people who put up with it Well, guess guess what you're getting out of that exactly that that foolishness that they're giving you is the same fools that you'll have in your life And wonder and wonder why yeah, they're they're killers out there in public also But rescue let me just tell you guys And there's some bad folks out there. There are some bad folks out there But I promise you As bad as the people are out here in the world and I don't care. I know I know what you guys are seeing There are some guys Who we do not want to let out There are some guys who we just don't want you don't want to listen These guys that I hear are bad and they're going to prison too But you don't want these guys out here. I'm talking about some heinous people Even when you get to a little nice friendly spot like fort work Ridiculous people there. So but anyway But I want us to be the ones that are on guard to defend the gospel and when you see someone doing these sort of things that are betraying the gospel or or Forget the people that are hurting and harming the gospel the people that are listening The people that are listening to people that are harming the gospel You do your job as paul says do the work of an evangelist You shared he says listen you reproof you repro you you re without you rebuke You exhort with all along suffer with great patience You do that It's your job too. It's your job to let people to expose people Of this foolishness so other folks aren't harmed you do that Because it's needed because the more of us that do that the less people will go to some of these churches and you'll see because what what will happen is There are times guys where pastors Are trying to figure out. Well, what's the best way every sunday? A pastor is his guide his word Trying to figure out or preach his guide his word trying to figure out. What is the best way to present this? Without watering it down But I can promise you for some of those who are still kind of shaky He saw this and it went over well with with another pastor doing this. Well, I can do that Maybe I can do this without without totally Cut yeah, I'm not gonna cut corners not totally. I'll kind of in you and get close to them Or what did Mike Todd say? Do is do everything short of sinning That's not what we want to do And because they say something that sounds a little good it passed And you make statements that don't quite mean what it says, but We let it pass Because in particular years they'll come back and do it again if pastors knew that people were out there Legitimately looking for a good church with a good word You might see more guys signing up for that And we are in short supply of sound pastors So guys, I want to thank you so much If you know someone to listen to these kind of people because it's not just them We highlight the the more egregious ones, but there there are there are a whole lot more smaller churches that are like that And they make up a larger percentage or larger number of people in the body They do the medium to the small churches. They make up a larger Number of people in the body. And so you know, you know some of these people One of them don't be ashamed if the person doesn't want to hear it. Well, they may the person maybe that person ain't say Because who didn't want to hear sound doctor now I get it because they don't want to hear it the very first time you say it or the fourth time Or it might be the way you're saying it But you still want to warn people the tear of the Lord As well as the love of the Lord it compels us to tell people Amen, amen
