Case of the Missing Faith

Matthew 8:5-13

And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.  And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

This man of the Roman army, a leader of the Roman army came to Him and said “My servant…” One thing we have to understand is that he cared about those under his authority, under his leadership. Jesus marveled. Why did He marvel? When the Centurion said he tells the one to go and he goes, when he tells the one to sit down, he sits down. Why are the Children of God so disobedient? When you were at school and your teacher told you to be quiet, you sat down and were quiet. At your job, the boss tells you go pick up that thing and bring it over here and put this together. You don’t look at him and say why. If you do, you won’t have a job long. If you challenge the one in authority, he can ask you why are you here? “I’m here because I need the money and have nothing else to do.” So he will ask, didn’t you sign some papers saying you will abide by the rules of this company? The point is, when God gives us authority, we have to obey His authority. We want people to do what we say, but we won’t do what they say. Can you imagine the sight of Christ saying that He’d not found so great faith in Israel, after having been teaching to His disciples on faith? The Centurion had great faith in Jesus Who commands the air, the spirits. The Centurion believed that Jesus authority was sure. He had enough faith in Jesus that He had authority. He knew that when Jesus said it, it would be done. He knew that all power was in Christ hands. He had not found one, no not even in Israel as faithful. Can He say that to you today? The Children of the Kingdom will be cast out..those who walk around thinking they are Christians when they aren’t. Because the servants boss had faith, the results went to the servant. It wasn’t about the servants boss, but about God because of the Centurions faith.

Do we have faith like that today? Or do we need something to crank us up? So if you’re going through something, could it be you’re the one going through, and its waiting on you?

Matthew 8:14-16

And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

God was showing His authority over sickness. Some people are sick because they want to be sick. If you serve a God who can heal, why are you sick? We sometimes use sickness as a crutch. Has your salvation become a crutch so that people will look at you and praise you instead of God? Sometimes things may not seem so clear as to where we are in Him. We’ll do things because we’re not sure where He is or where we are, to test our faith to see if Christ will be there to help us out. We’ll stretch the limit, come almost there to only find out that maybe He’s not really watching me right now…”God are you there?” Sometimes things might not seem so clear where we are in Him, even if we may have strayed away from salvation, a little off mark from the high calling of salvation.

What do you tell children when crossing the street? You stop, look both ways and listen. Have we done that in our lives with our sin, and asked how it will affect our walk in Christ, affect my Salvation? Do you know its a personal walk, not a public one? You don’t need anyone poisoning your walk by their views or understanding. Words are powerful, and even more so to the feeble-minded. It’s important that you get the right info the right way and in all you’re getting get an understanding. It’s important that we stop look and listen for the Breath of God. People breathing down our neck, talking to about everything under the sun except the Son. Misery loves company, and company has friends. He has been exhaling in our lives, but we continue doing what we’re doing in hope that He understands. We’ve used that term before “He understands me. We’re that tight.” He understands what we are doing, walking by sight and kind of by faith. At one time or another we’ve done that. The Bible tells us we walk by faith and not by sight. But most of us blend it: a little bit of sight a little bit of faith. We comfortably do that. When your mind is walking by sight, then your mind is influenced around you, you are walking by others. When they are jacked up, you’re jacked up. Sometimes we allow things, emotions and situations to dominate our walk. In most cases we begin to second guess ourselves and our faith begins to wean, leading to faithlessness.

 

Hebrews 11:1-6

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

 

Everywhere you see faith in these passages, substitute for “complete trust.”

Have you ever gone to someone who you know can’t help you? Most of the time we go to someone who can help. You have faith that they can do what you know can be done. If you can’t trust in anybody, then you’ll not go to the “body,” but go to another body to help you take care of your body! We’re sick because we want to be sick, laid up, stressed out, and prostrate before everyone because we get attention. We’re sick because we want attention. What about those who really are sick? Where is their faith? The case of the missing faith. If you have the faith of a grain of a mustard seed…

I have a concept of what faith is: trusting in something that you don’t have an idea or clue about, because you have complete trust. You exhibit and use complete trust everyday. When you get out of your bed do you step on a cloud or the floor? You trust that the floor is going to hold you. You don’t have to think about it because you trust it completely. This is how it should be with Jesus. We don’t have to think about Him because we know He is faithful. This is what faith is, not having to worry about your salvation. Not arrogantly, but not having to worry about if you are going to be healed, or going back with Him. Why do we read the Word of God? Because we completely trust in it. Do you completely trust God? Then why are you limping? By His stripes you are healed. Our complete trust is conditional. What we don’t want to accept is we’ve given Him conditions for our life, when He never gave us conditions. How many love the Lord? We love Him on conditions and completely trust Him on conditions. Have we lost our hope? Or more than that, have we quietly lost our hope in Christ Jesus? Maybe a dream we’ve had that didn’t come to pass or a relationship that did go the way you planned and you quietly blamed Jesus because it didn’t come to fruition. And now you sit in your pity, patty party, blaming yourself and Jesus too, instead of standing on your most holy faith and asking the Lord to forgive you and forgive yourself. Hope lost. You have no faith when hope is lost. Without faith you can’t please God. Hopelessness sets into you.

In conclusion, we can’t allow our self pity to rule or ruin our walk in Christ Jesus.

Romans 12:1-16

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

 

5 Points to remember:

1 Do not lean-to your own understanding, Proverbs 3:5-6

2 Change the way you have been thinking from a selfish worldy mind to a Christ Jesus mind, Romans 12:2-4

3 Don’t allow things or your situations to dictate your walk, Ephesians 4:14-16

4 Without faith you cannot please God, Hebrews 11:6

5 You can do all things through Christ, Philippians 4:13

Do You Just like to Repeat or Do you Need to be Set Free, Part 2

When the Lord comes, will you be ready? It’s all about doing what God is saying, and that is to be a witness for Him. Last Sabbath we talked about are you caught in a repeat. Do you want to keep repeating what you did last year? Didn’t you enjoy what you did last year? One of the things I was trying to do is clean up my act last year. How many know that I’m not impervious that I make mistakes? That is because I’m on my way to salvation too. If I know a little bit more than you do, I’m glad to help. We have to meet the need of the Lord. How long hault you between 2 opinions?

Do you want to repeat or do you want to be free? If you repeat a situation and not be set free from it, sometimes we call that a habit, but you’ll be bound. When you allow someone to lock you in, it’s so hard to get free and you’re bound. Most people allow Satan to lock them in, he knows the combination. You who don’t know or understand that there is a code, you’ll continue to do what Satan tells you to do. If a person allows themselves to be carried away with habitual habits it will carry them and others around them away. The word habit is doing something that becomes almost involuntary. For instance looking both ways before crossing a street. Habits can be good, but they can also be bad. If it’s a habit, then its an addiction.

Habits form who you are sometimes. You get in a habit of saying things, acting a certain way, in an habitual personality. Sometimes to such an extent that they can destroy you. Good habits can destroy you too. Have you ever seen someone who brushes their hair 5000 times or brush their teach 16 times? You can’t get anywhere because of obsession. When you allow a thing to take control of your physical state or body, then you’ve allowed that thing to become a part of you as a person whether good or bad.

Sin. Sin can be your friend. Sin can be habitual. Think about some of the habits that you have that have become a sin to you. Have they become a part of you? People have a bad habit of ___________________? You have a bad habit of _________________________? Then you have another bad habit of__________________________? If you allow sin to become habitual in your body, you’ve become addicted. What do you usually do when you become addicted? You make a space in your life for it. You will work for it, create a place in your house for it, change your friends according to it; you create a space in your life for sin. You know you can love someone until you sin? “But its love pastor.” But love can be a sin. In this respect, I love him so much that you did what, gave him everything; my money, my time; I gave him everything, and got nothing in return. If you allow it, it will control your life. Habits do nothing but control. I do know that if a man or woman allows habits to exist in their life, they will eventually turn bad. Well, let’s say you have a habit of laughing. There is  serious situation that just transpired, and you start laughing. But you laugh all the time, and its a habit for you. How will you be received? Habits, habitual; that means you repeat it over and over again.

As you know addiction means a state of being enslaved to a habit or practice. Enslaved. You can be enslaved to sin. When it says to do this, you’ll do it whether you like it or not. Why can’t you be free? Because you enjoy being bound. You constantly want to be bound even though you say “Lord I want to be free.” Someone will steal your soul and put a combination on it so even the Lord can’t get in. They got in through your heart. When they got inside, Satan wants you for himself, so he’ll put a combination on there that you can’t get in. Does something have your soul locked up that you can’t get rid of that habitual, addictive type thing in your life? Some of us try to get over and say “It’s a generational curse.” But when does it stop? Generation means your giving it age and time, and nurturing it. My uncle did it, my cousin did it, my dad did it, now I’m doing it. So we blow it off. The Lord says “Well don’t you want to be free?” Then you say “Yes, but its a generational curse.” It has more hold on you than the Lord. Then people won’t own up to the fact that they’re the problem. They can’t see themselves because they’re caught in their own sin.

Satan will come to you disguised as God, and when you think its Him, it’s actually Satan. When you pray, do you pray out loud? Do you think Jesus only has ears? No, Satan and all his imps have ears too. When you’re born, there is a demon assigned to you. There was a show on years ago where a spiritual medium had a studio audience in which he told people in the audience about things their dead relatives said to them. The Word of God says when a person dies, they have no dealings in the world of the living. So people are captivated by these spiritual mediums who can seemingly talk to the dead. Its a problem now, because now you believe in what this spiritual medium can do and say. What you didn’t know is your uncle doesn’t know that man, but the spirit that was assigned to your uncle knows; a demonic force assigned to mimic your ways and voice so that it can appears as you to get someone else in this world convinced that the spiritual world exists through a medium. People fall for that. Satan has demons assigned. Millions upon millions upon millions of demons, and they’re all assigned to people, that is the only way Satan can cause you to fail. Satan is not omnipresent, omniscient; the demons report back to Satan to let him know what’s going on. So what does Satan do, he sends his demons out to reinforce a habit. Whatever is binding you, that demon is going to enhance it. Satan uses every tool possible. He uses your habitual mindset to blind you to what the Word of God says. This is how Satan drives you to make mistakes in your life because you’re hearing Satan’s or his imps voice and not the Lord’s. So when everything works out terribly for you, do you blame Satan? No you blame God. How many know that God gives your free will and this is a policy He deals with.

Why do you think Satan went to Eve first? Adam was first. Eve was the lesser of the two. Where did Satan catch Eve? She was admiring the tree God said not to eat from. Eve told Satan the Lord said we are not going eat of the fruit of this tree. That means she understood, and was disobedient; your senses were over flooded. Satan used your habits and addictions to drive your away from God. So when she ate the fruit, did she die? No, that solidified in her mind that what God said about her dying was a lie, because she did not die instantly. Satan became powerful to her. When she ate of the fruit it changed her seed making it deceived. So the only thing left for her to do was to mess up Adam’s seed, because her eyes were opened. When she ate of the fruit she did die: 1) she lost the love connection with God 2) she lost her ability to obey God 3) she lost her ability to decipher. It became habitual when Eve and Adam ate of that fruit. When they lost connection with their God because of something that they did, that is why its hard for us to stay focused anymore in the Church, that they stop coming to church. That they say “I don’t need this, I’ve got Jesus on my side.” None of us are Gods. How powerful do you think you are? You that powerful that you can go on your own?

Can you run on last years food or gas? You need freshness. You can’t live on an old anointing. You cannot live on an old anointing. His mercies are new every morning, but if you’re jacked up on the old one, you’ll never know when His mercies come. What did the Children of Israel do when they were set free from Egypt? They went back to Egypt in their hearts. They were living on the past, and made it their future. You cannot live on old stuff. You cannot put new wine in an old bottle because old wine has an effervescence which causes pressure and will break the new bottle. You need to get rid of your habit and allow God to give you the authority and power to move from where you are now. That is why Satan wanted to get inside of Eve, to mess up the generations to come. He knew that if he got Eve he’d get Adam.

Mark 7:15-16

There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

Luke 6:40-49

The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye. For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

Whatever you exhibit shows what’s inside of you. You want to be set free? You have to admit that you are bound. The hardest thing for people in the Church is to admit their wrong because they can’t see. They can only see themselves. When you think yourself something the you’re nothing. Nothing makes a mess of everyone around it. Allow God to deliver you. If you can’t allow God to restore you back, then why be in his Kingdom? You are not a god. God is God, we’re just here. We have to know Him for ourselves. No one else can give an account for you. We have to give an account for ourselves. You can’t go further if you haven’t been obedient. How can you say you’re a child of the King and can’t be obedient to Him? Obedience is better than sacrifice, no matter what abilities you may have. Move when God says to move. If you can’t hear Him clearly the how will you know when to move. If you can’t hear Him then you need to spend time with Him to hear His voice.

Do You Just like to Repeat or Do you Need to be Set Free, Part 1

How many times did you fall for the same type of man or woman and saw it coming? Wait for it. They say I love you you go…wait for it…wait for it….and then boom after you say it and you’re locked and you’re back to the same problem you had in your previous relationship. You start seeing the same type of girl or guy. Then you start saying the same things over again: “That man or that woman is no good, there is no good in them.” Were they really or is it just you? Being locked back in the same things of the past recurring in your mind and life. Lets go a little deeper.

When Jesus said forgive your brother, forgive your sister…and you asked Him why? You asked God why. Our hearts fall immediately back to what they’ve done to us. So now, there’s a time going on. Now you have frozen time to take time out to go back in the past of an event that happened years ago, bringing it from the past to the present. You stopped God working on you so you can take Him back to the past, so He could see what was bothering you…what was said that was bothering you. You put God on pause, and take Him back, so that we can do what? Reminisce, complain; when Jesus said just to forgive your brother. Could it be something else more than what they did that you are latching to that your are reminiscing over? Could it be something that is in you; something that has locked itself in you that you cannot get over? Is it that little thing that sits in the corner of your mind that tells you, “They owe you…until they fix that little thing, I cannot see anything.” You can’t get over that past. You must remember, those who continue to live in their past it will become your future.

People are doing the exact same things over and over again falling for the same statement, phrase an action over and over again. Could it be a generational curse, or could it be that you don’t know how to let go? “Well I’m like this because it was my momma, it was my daddy. I treat you the way I treat you because they did not treat me right. Its your fault that I’m smacking this person to death.” But its not their fault. Its the sin in me that makes me do the things in me, its the sin in me. They don’t understand that the God in you wouldn’t make you do what you do to your sister, mother, friend, father….its not the God in you, its the sin in you. Do you like to repeat? We always get upset with ourselves, some of us like to abuse ourselves because we can’t get over us, not remembering that we’re stronger than the thing, smarter than the thing, not remembering that it was things that happened in the past. Now our past has become our future. That is why we fall for the same old antics and statements, gimmicks and movements over and over again, because the first time it happened we didn’t get it straight and forgive ourselves.

Do you know why its so important for a woman to wait until she gets married before sleeping with anyone? When she does, what’s in her, she shares her soul. It’s when you have relations when he injects inside of you a seed of life, your body responds with an egg. Every egg that comes out of your body needs to be fertilized, and given an identity. So its in there floating around looking for “who shall I be?” When God places a soul in that body, that soul becomes a living breathing creature that exists because of the Will of God, not man. So that woman begins to nurture that seed that has been given to her by that man. A woman’s egg is just like a chicken’s egg which has no life. Once that one little sperm gets inside of the egg, it locks the door, turning the egg into a hard shell that the sperm inside has the only key to. That woman is to keep herself wholly until God has sent her a man. It’s he who finds himself a wife finds a good thing. But the wife has be ready to receive the identity. You don’t go shooting your junk everywhere, hoping that it lands somewhere. You don’t shoot your seed at anything, because you’ll get what you ask for. A man putting his identity out is like putting your seal of who you are on just anything. Young men think that because they can flip it out and flip it right, that makes you a man. No, that makes you stupid. Every woman’s womb is not for every man. That is telling me that my sperm is sacred. Your egg is sacred.

Men are told in the back of their minds that’s what you do, you put your seed in anything. As a man’s seed enters the egg, it releases life and that more abundantly, releases identity, becoming a DNA increaser, forming life; an identity. At that moment that woman’s body becomes that man’s body. She can’t live without him. She might not say it, but she shows it. That man is not sealed, a man puts it out, a woman receives it. She changes chemically to receive it. He doesn’t have any connection to her chemically, but she has connection to him chemically. That is why some women can never get along with any other man except the one that…no matter how he treated her. The man has no chemical connection, just a physical one, that is why its so easy for him to release freely with another woman. He’s selling himself for free, not realizing that he’s giving his identity away to something he has no connection with. She feels that he loves her enough to release his seed inside of her, and to be bound to her. If he’s not bound to you mentally, he’s not bound to you physically. That is why when a man lies with a woman he’s not planning on being with, he will rarely look her in the eye or kiss her, but do everything below the neckline. The gateway to the soul is the eyes, that is why he does not look at her. He wants to release his seed for a moment of pleasure, for a feeling, she releases herself for a connection. That is why she takes it hard when he walks out the door. Its serious.

That is the reason that we can’t do what the Lord wants us to because we have holes inside of us. The Lord wants you fully, so when He releases the Holy Ghost inside of you, it changes…just as though that man who releases inside of you created in you an identity, Christ is trying to create an identity in you of Him. This is the problem. We repeat the things we do in life with relationship because we have not yet come into the understanding that we’re more than conquers. A woman’s body and eggs are all precious even though they have not life. You have an egg that stays warm and moist and ready. When you go through your cycle, it goes “ain’t no good.” During your cycle, you spew unwanted eggs and are tossed away. When a man does not ejaculate, his body absorbs the life back inside, he keeps it. A man does not have a cycle, because he keeps his identity.

Most men are not aware that they bring life to the relationship. That is why a woman can’t have a relationship with another woman, because she does not bring life. Its like rubbing two eggs together; do you get another egg? No. A man is not even aware of the authority and power in his loins. It’s about releasing in you a woman who is an incubator, a provider of the eggs. When her body chemically changes, before a woman has sexual intercourse with a man her body smells like roses. After she has been intimate with that man, his chemicals are mixing with his chemicals. And now she does not smell like a beautiful bouquet of roses. That is why they do foreplay, to try to get her to accept whatever he is try to do. Her body says he is chemically like this. It is the same way when God releases the Holy Ghost inside of you. It changes you. Satan can’t get in anymore like he use to. So Satan says he has to find another way in. The Lord has changed the combination, I can’t get in. Let me go back in the past, when you use to love this, so Satan goes “Let me do this…” So he brings people from your past that your bound by, and they come into your life straight forward saying “Do you remember what we use to do?” To insight in you a feeling, and you go back to that moment when that situation happened. Satan can’t get in to you like he use to, so he wants you to repeat; he doesn’t want you to be free. So you prepare yourself to receive what he has for you. Isn’t this what we do with God? Jesus has everything that we need. But we can’t get with Jesus because we keep comparing what He has to what Satan is doing. We can’t build a good relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus because we still concern with what Satan did to us, enjoy it, bask in it. But the Lord says be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.

 

Romans 7:20-25

Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

 

What is it saying? Do you like to repeat or do you want to be free? What are generational curses? What we just read. You know my sister Barbra, she does the same things. She’ll listen to the guy, and then she’ll sleep with him after 2 minutes. After you’ve slept with so many of them, you’ll never get the one who is for you because all the rest of them have put so many codes on your butt, that nobody can get in. The right one has to break the 1st code, the next code, and so on. The hardest one you have to break is the 1st one.

Juanita Bynum wrote a book called “No More Sheets.” She said she had so many men back and forth in her bed, she didn’t know whether she was coming or going. If the guy that comes after you who really loves you is not a locksmith, he won’t get anything, but the remnants of all those other guys, not the real you. You’ll say, “he doesn’t understand me,” no because you’re locked up. Why is it so important that you don’t randomly sleep with guys? Because they can lock your soul up so much that you can’t even reach Christ. Jesus doesn’t care if you’ve had 100 guys, if you ask “Lord make me whole again,” He will make you fresh and clean to have the right person. He flushes all that mess out of you, and now your head is straight. When you see a guy you might fall in love with, he’ll look at your differently and say “she is fresh.” When you get together, it will be like the very first time. The point is, He will make you new again. While you are in your new state, look upon Me I am your husband now, I’m your friend, confidant and companion. When someone is good enough to get My girl, I’ll release her to him because I already know that she is fresh, and she has the Holy Ghost who is leading and guiding her. For a woman if the inside is not clean, ain’t nothing gonna happen down below in the oven. Satan knows that. That is because he goes after the woman on the inside, mentally, and on the outside physically with men.

 

Matthew 15:11

Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

 

There is nothing goes into a womb-man that defiles her, it’s what comes out of the womb-man that defiles her. Because out of the mouth flows the abundance of the heart. So if I eat cucumbers and candies and oranges and grapes and bananas, that won’t defile me. It is whatever I put into my soul that will defile me. So when that man has slept with you and placed part of his soul in you, its going to come out of your mouth. Women if you haven’t known a man, don’t. If you’ve known a man and God has made you new, don’t go back again. God will send you a man. I don’t care how the urges come, don’t put yourself in that situation to cause an urge. Make sure you fall in love with Jesus first before you get into a relationship. God wants us to understand that once He has you, and allows you to keep you, He won’t let anyone come into your life again who will destroy your physiology and lock everyone else out, except those demons that locked themselves in. Wait on the Lord. If you wait on Him, when He gives you that person, it won’t be buttercups and lollipops all the time, you will have stormy days. That is because two are trying to become one. So you ride the storm. We just have to understand that we must not worry about when he is coming but worry how God is going to meet us next.

It’s an awesome thing to wait. The Lord never forgets. Otherwise you’re bound to repeat over and over again.

Your Mind is not FIFO in this World, or is it?

FIFO- First In First Out

It’s dealing with your mind. The perception stores the knowledge of memories. memories are events of the past we tend to hold onto in the future. What does “mind” mean? To distinguish from a sensation. Your mind and thought pattern is more than a sensation, it is the creative understanding. The older generation would get up there and sing “My mind, my mind, my mind is gone.” Well the older generations was expressing that their mind was gone in Jesus. The terminology and words of the past have been corrupted; the thoughts the memory patterns of the past have re-determined the meaning. They are doing it to Christ in our minds and hearts. The song says “When I think of His goodness and all He’s done for me, my soul cries out hallelujah, thank you for saving me.” They’ve turned the words around and have said “when I think of what He has done for me, my spirit cries out, thank you for saving me.” They have exited out Jesus, exited out the in filling of the Holy Ghost…They don’t want you to know the value of believing in Christ.

Like everything else in your life there is always someone better and faster than you are. A lot of times we think in our minds that “we have this…I’ve got this.” The first information you receive from people interests you, the second part captures you, the third marks you, and the fourth part locks you. Your locked into that person and the information. The point is this, first in first out (FIFO). The first information that people try to give captivates you, they pull you in closer, then they lock you down into what they want you to do. You have to be careful what you listen from them, because that will come out in you. If someone puts filth inside of you, the first thing that will come out of your mouth will be filthy. They may mean well, but do they mean well? People talk about things that they like talking about. To captivate you in a subject in your thoughts, to captivate you period brings you into their world, and they instruct you on how to operate and be in their world. The first thing that comes into you is them and their emotions. The second thing when you’ve been captivated by them is it becomes alive in you. Then you begin to add-on to and relate to that story, so when you explain to someone else that story, you’ll be surprised how much detail you’ll retain. FIFO. So when we go and tell someone something, its a conglomerate of what they said and also what we think. People add their emotions to stories.

When you put in XYZ on a computer, it will give you the result of XYZ. If you put in KGX, then the computer will put out that the information has been corrupted because its not XYZ. When you receive the Word of God, it gets inside of you. If you tell someone else about the Word of God, and you aren’t right…you aren’t right…then the data that you got will not be right, but it will look close. Some of us will say “It will do…its in the area.” If I’m going to your house and you live on block 44 and I’m on black 56, is that your house? FIFO. Some of us has been corrupted with data that should not have been a part. Unusually it’s based on our lifestyle. Corruptions corrupt you absolutely and thoroughly. It corrupts your walk, your talk, even your daily regular experiences. Sometimes Christians walk around being a most corrupted mess you want to see. But they know how to go “Halle, Halle, Hallujah.” How do you fix a computer that has been corrupted? You wipe it clean with a magnet. There is no computer out there that cannot be repaired because if man made it, man can fix it. There is no human being out that God can’t fix, because God made it and He can fix it. If you find that you have viruses in you, you can’t just keep going on. If a virus is in your phone, can you still make phone calls? The corruption of a virus on your software does not corrupt the hardware. When you’re corrupt, it doesn’t corrupt your body, it corrupts your mind and soul. The spirit inside of every man who God gave is a set of instructions for man, just as software is the set of instructions for a computer. God can wipe the corrupt mess from you, but you have to first bring it get fixed.

How many of you examine what comes into your mind? Whether it’s through music or what people say to you. Filters. Filters are ok as long as they are clean. If it isn’t’ clean you will re-circulate the same mess over and over again. If your screen/filter has bacteria and has never been cleaned out, something will slip though and get to you, and make you sick. In us, there is a virus that writes a program in us that prevents us from reaching Christ. By not giving you all the information, that makes you even worse than if you had not information. That will make you dangerous. If you tell a child not to touch a fire and go no further to explain why, what will they do? They will touch it because they want to know why. Not giving you the full information corrupts you totally. What every man or woman allows to invade their thoughts no matter what form it is received in, it makes you a slave to it. Whatever you allow to come inside you whether good or bad, makes you a slave to it. In this world, it’s all bad. So you are a slave to the things around you. Being corrupted from the inside is the worst thing. FIFO. Its terrible when you’re molded with mess. You are like a Bouncing Betty Mine when you go off. Sound has no directional focus, its audible everywhere. So when your run your mouth, it goes everywhere. We corrupt the information that comes in us, and we corrupt it even more when we send it out.

Matthew 15:1-11

Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

That means they could have gotten the right information, and when it came out it could have been corrupted. This chapter is about creating an inner purity so that when you receive something, it comes out the same way. There should be no disturbance of that force. The same thing that went in you should come out the same. Christ said I want you all to speak the same thing.

1 Corinthians 1:10-15

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

No speak your own mind, speak what’s in you? Is that what this says? No! The same mind, joined together in the same mind, and the same judgement. Are we suppose to do that? Is Christ divided? The bible says speak the same thing. At AOCM we repair software that was originally given to the people. So we have to be on our p’s and q’s. Because there are some broken folks out there, because they want to be repaired. Jesus said I am God and I change not. The same as I was in the beginning, the same shall I be today. That is a discussion that takes place in the Church today. What are you teaching about, at this Church? I’m teaching about how you can put a hat on. What are you teaching about at that Church? I’m teaching about how you can put your shoes on. What are you teaching about at this Church? I’m teaching about how you can put your hat and shoes on and get a new wardrobe. What does the Word say? We are not in unity in the church. At the end of the day we’re not doing our will we’re doing His, so if we corrupt His will for our lives, then what are we doing?

The Lord needs you in ministry. But take the time to clean your filter so you won’t spread corrupt mess. Fix you before you try to fix someone else. Be in the world but not of the world. What does that mean? So they legalized marijuana, does that mean you use it? No. Be in the world but not of the world.

What Does Jesus Need to do to Breakthrough to You?

In the Word of God, we say we understand, but we still do what we do. When people look at you, what do they see? Do they see the real you or a mirror image of what’s in you or on you? A lot of times spirits see spirits. If people look at you and see a spirit on you, they aren’t looking at you but the spirit that is controlling you. When you look in the mirror what do you see? Not what you’re wearing. What do you see when you look at you? Think about Michael Jackson’s song, Man in the Mirror. “I’m looking at the man in mirror. I’m asking him to change his ways.” He took a good clear look at himself. Have you ever taken a good clear look at yourself? What we usually see is what we’ve done in the past or what we’re going through. Maybe what people say about us. We tend to take that upon ourselves that they say “I’m this or that,” and you look in the mirror and say “is that who I really am?” After that we begin to do a self evaluation of our worth, tearing down the real us and say that couldn’t be me.

Snow white. The wicked queen sent her troops out to find the mirror. Mirror, mirror on the wall who’s the most beautiful woman of them all? You aren’t the most. There is one more beautiful. Snow White. The wicked queen sent someone out to kill her niece, but Snow White survived. The wicked queen in actuality was the ugliest one of all.

When we look in the mirror it will show us who we are. It can’t show your inside but will only reflect the outside. We stand before a mirror so we can be presentable before others because we’re concerned about what others think about how we look. During the 1970s and 1980s there was an opening of hearts and minds of people, dressing how they want, looking how they want. When I was growing up you had to look neat and dress properly. They didn’t believe in sagging, we only knew that was something that came from prison, because you only sagged to let another man know you were a woman. Why are young men sagging now? Its a style now to let other people see your underwear. Men need the companionship and intimacy of a woman, and when you lock and cage them up, they begin to revert to being dogs, mating with anything they can mate with. He tends to change the weakest man in there and converts him to be a woman in his eyes. He expects that man to be a woman to him, not to anyone else, just to him. If you can’t defend yourself against a bunch of men, they will try to kill you to convert you. Once you have become docile as a man, if you know anything about male dogs/wolves, they will turn their hind section to a dominate male, letting them know that they’re submissive. This happens in prison. You are no longer who you are. If young men out here are sagging, if you walk like a duck, talk like a duck, what are you? A duck. If you do what the world does, if your lifestyle is like the world then how are the people in the world going to perceive you?

But pastor I only do a little bit of it. What is that saying? Pastor I drink a little alcohol, but that doesn’t make me an alcoholic. I only go to the bar because they have good pretzels and chips. If you go into the bar drink a little beer and another saint comes by and sees you coming out the bar, what will they say? Nothing to you. The Bible says don’t let your good be evil spoken of. If you are not a crackhead, why do you have a spoon in your hand with a lighter?

What does Jesus need to do to break through to you, because its you who is doing what you are doing. If you look like the world, act like the world, talk like the world…the what are you? Of the world. We have to be excited about mimicking after Jesus not this world. Does this world have a heaven for you, or a place you can go not to worry about pain and anguish? The Bible says, mark yourself after the perfect One. Mark yourself after your Lord and Savior. A lot of the modern day people have people they like in sports, but when they begin to become idols then there is a problem.

All of a sudden you start living you life according to the broken bits and pieces of how others and you feel. Sometimes you’ll do things without ever really noticing, living your life according to what someone said about you or talked about you. When you live your life according to the world’s word, and not according to the Word of God, then you take on the responsibilities of the world. The Word becomes 2nd place in your life. The Bible tells us that by their fruits they will know them. What does a Christian really look like? Are you a Christian? Are you living the life of a Child of the most High God? The Bible says there is no name under heaven given where by men must, no probably, must be saved, except the name of Jesus Christ because He’s the One who died for our sins. How long halt you between 2 opinions? Either you’ll be a Child of God or child of the world.

What does God need to do to breakthrough to you? What does He need to do? What does He need to do to get you to do what you’re suppose to do and live for Him? Does He have to beat you up in every trial and every test, every time you turn around your going through? How many remember the song I Surrender All? “I surrender all, all to thee my blessed saviour.” When we say surrender all we don’t really understand what that means. A lot of times we surrender all or bits or pieces. We’re suppose to say all but we do some of the time. All means everything. All. That means your problems, your finances, your emotional situation, it means all. Because He can fix it all.

Ecclesiastes 7:10-25

Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness. Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ? Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all. Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city. For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee: For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others. All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me. That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out? I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:

1 Samuel 16:1 And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.”How long will you mourn Saul?” Is someone caught in the past?

1 Samuel 16:2-3 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the Lord said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord. And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.

Israel needs a replacement king. Most were thinking it would fall underneath the lineage, staying all in the family of Saul. But the Lord said it would come out of one of Jesse’s sons. When you’re going through something and God is trying to promote you, He will take you from among everyone else. It could be family friends…He will take you out of them because you’re not like…them. So He pulls you out. I’m not saying that they are not believing in God, but He pulls you out because you’re not like them.

1 Samuel 16:4-7 And Samuel did that which the Lord spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the Lord: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice. And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord‘s anointed is before him. But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

When God gets ready to promote you to something, He’ll push them all away from around you. Because its you that He wants, because you are going to take care of the mission. He saw something in you that He didn’t see in them. God will wait for your time to be who you are in Him, and He will push everybody else aside. No matter how much you may fight it. When there is a great call on your life, God is going to direct you.

1 Samuel 16:13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward.

Romans 8:30-39

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 

Shall your headache, health, problems, circumstances? What shall separate you from His love?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What does Jesus need to do to get through to you? Nothing. He doesn’t have to do anything to break through to you. Who can open the door to a building if you have the key? You need to unlock the door to your heart and let God come in freely. If you can’t unlock the door, He will never get in. So you need to take you out of the equation. Amen.
