Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say rejoice, philippians 4.4. He's given to us we are known within Him right the deliverance of salvation. We are rejoicing, we're proclaiming it each and every day. The rejoicing is a sense of celebration, it's satisfaction We've found that achievement.
Speaker 1:It goes back to what I said yesterday how dare you or how could you, if you would spend the rest of your life seeking salvation and everybody's like no, I want to be saved, I want to be redeemed, I want to be forgiven? Yes, of course, but if you spend the rest of your life committed in a sense of what Testament that I need to be saved, I need to be redeemed, I need to be forgiven, then you never get over the hump. That's only a trial, part of the time that the sand globe of the sand, the grain of sand, or they call it the grain of wheat, as it hits the ground. Yes, of course, the mustard seed. It continues to enter our hearts, souls and minds. It progressively moves us and advances us. We're not struck and down, we're not like chained to the floor or something. You're not going anywhere, you're going to stay here, worried about being condemned. No, no, no, no, not along those lines, but rather we are continuing to advance.
Speaker 1:I believe in what mindset? I believe that I am forgiven. So when do you go from being forgiven to now I'm actually living? Because the moment you're still worried about being forgiven. I need to receive forgiveness. And don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1:We stumble, we fall, we make the wrong decisions. Don't forgive me. We stumble, we fall, lord, forgive me. Very good, we state that, but we can't be seeking forgiveness 24-7. At some point we've got to make the conversion, we've got to be capable of advancing, we've got to sit on the other side of the table and we've got to rejoice rejoice in his sadness and rejoice in his gladness, because we've found worth within the sorrow. And we've found worth within the sorrow, we found worth within the praise, and it continues to advance us. So we rejoice always. 1 Thessalonians 5, 16. We rejoice in our sorrows, we rejoice in the sadness, we rejoice in our praise, in our grace, in our happiness, in our joys, in the moments of succession Hail Mary, if you would, my darkest hour we rejoice always. We're consecutively giving thanks and praising him, the one where it should be given to, and in no way shape or form does it become a form of inequity to where we're struck and we're bitten and we're bitter and we're not capable and we're not able.
Speaker 1:And what's the different mindset? I've seen it being taken a little bit too far, and I'm not the one to judge nor condemn. Lord, forgive me. I still have my hands out. Lord, help me, come into my heart, soul and mind. Yes, of course. So taking it too far.
Speaker 1:Not only am I seeking forgiveness, not only am I looking to be redeemed if you would but I'm judging and condemning other individuals, my fellow brothers and sisters, god's creation, and I'm telling them what's right or wrong for them. That makes it really hard on me and it makes it hard on other individuals. Who in their right mind wants to wake up to somebody in the morning that's got a bitter and sour tongue, they got a foul taste in their mouth and the words that are proclaiming what they're stating? You don't want to hear it. They're not rejoicing, by the way. It's more of a sense of condemning, and I think that's the maturity or the maternal ladder that I referenced here. We are advancing within that mindset. So rejoice always. Rejoice in your sadness and rejoice in your happiness, because it still goes back to him and you don't have anything to worry about.
Speaker 1:Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God, christ Jesus, for you. 1 Thessalonians 5.18. And that's following up exactly what I said. We're giving right and some of us we're took, we're taken, we're taken this for granted. The moment you take anything for granted in this world, it's not yours. In fact, you're immediately in debt, and the debts of sin or the debts of holiness. I guess there's a wager in some way, shape or form. The price, yes, of course, the blood salvation.
Speaker 1:Very good, thanks in all circumstances. We need to be careful, be sure that we're giving and not taking. Careful, be sure that we're giving and not taking, because if we're given, we can expect to receive, but if we're taken or can probably expect to be taken from, that makes it tough on us. So all circumstances notice. It doesn't go into fine details of this is right or this is wrong. We're gonna go fine lines here. We go more along the lines, the sense of circumstances. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. It belongs to him. It doesn't, it doesn't, it belongs to him. It's not yours right away.
Speaker 1:Very good, I think different, for this is the will of God, christ Jesus, for you Of God in Christ Jesus. For you. So it manifests together within the Trinity and the Holy Spirit is the enactment. Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5.17 went a little bit backwards there, it's okay. Pray without ceasing. Pray. Ephesians 5, 17 went a little bit backwards there, it's okay. Pray without ceasing. Pray on it.
Speaker 1:Don't let your prayers and your confessions be the testament of your inequity to where they get turned into God. The trivial taste and flavor of the cup as the wine enters your mouth is, of course, as the bread gets turned into the fish. Pray without ceasing, regardless of how bad it ever gets. You've got a clear channel of communication up to Christ, your Savior and Redeemer. You can reach out to him and you know he's going to deliver you. You know that he's going to come through for you and your prayers will be answered. And sometimes it's the trying times when we're praying, when we're putting it within his heart and within his capability, within his reach, of what we're actually in need, of what our wants and needs are, and we're not receiving the answers right away. It can be very discouraging and uplifting and it can lead to unsatisfaction in other sectors of life, but we know he's still listening and it's within his time.
Speaker 1:I'd like to tell individuals that aren't getting their prayers answered fast enough. If you would seek and ye shall find. So what's within your capability, what's in your competence? Where can you go? How can you get to where you want to go? What can you achieve? What is the mindset and where are you taking it? And I say that in a sense of remorse, because if we passively sit, we're not going to get anywhere. Yes, of course, but if you have no options, do what you're supposed to be doing. So, faced with the scenarios that you're faced with, I can only change self. Do what God would want you to do.
Speaker 1:You remember the bracelets back, however, many decades ago maybe it was a century right away, I'm not sure it's been a long time. Right, very good, but they had the WWJD. What would Jesus do? Yeah, those were very relevant. It gave us a sense of notion. It was conception within the mind, within theory and reason. Anytime we faced an event that was upheaving, all we had to do was look at our wrists. What would Jesus do?
Speaker 1:I liked them too. I think I had a black and white one. They had different colors. They were really cool. I think they were stitched up. It was nice, yeah, but we need to be reminded of that, to be Christ-like and thought and word and image and indeed, and to walk within that light and in some cases, definitely walk within the darkness so that we can be saved, so that we can be redeemed.
Speaker 1:But getting over it to where it isn't the bondage of life or it isn't eternity, eternity can't be. Well, I'm seeking forgiveness and I'm seeking to be saved, to be redeemed. But you were already saved and redeemed the moment that you accepted Christ, the moment that you were baptized, the moment that you confessed, the moment that you put your life in his hands. So then you're already forgiven. How could you be condemned or how could you be redeemed? As one of my very good friends would say and I say this often, lord forgive me, I apologize If God shall be for us, then who could possibly be against us? And I think that's the mentality. We ourselves cannot deny him and he can't deny us, because we are one within united.
Speaker 1:Very good, let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand. Philippians 4.5. Seated at the right hand. Let your reasonableness be known to everybody. It's okay, we don't have to judge. We can accept. We can walk away, turn the other cheek. You know there's things that happen in this world that we don't agree with. I just don't think that's the right color Good example. I don't think that you guys are treating each other the right way. Or you shall be permitted, you shall wed. You shall not be permitted to wed Good examples when we play the role of God or the Lord within this world. It completely destructs those individuals that we're judging and condemning. It destructs our own lives. So our purest form of care and concern which care and concern should be praised or should be rejoicing?
Speaker 1:Back to rejoicing within God. I'm so thankful God brought you two together. I'm sure that you'll find enlightenment within him instead of being condemned by creature. God puts you two together, but you're not ready for him, nor is he ready for you. It's going to take a very long time. Well, where's God within this? We're not rejoicing at this point. We're going back to condemning and we shall be shown in some way shape or form, as if the whip is cracking across the back and we have extreme lacerations as we're bleeding out the toxicity of our logic and reason.
Speaker 1:By the way, it doesn't work. Lord, forgive me, do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your quest be made known to God. Yes, of course. So don't worry about it. Troubles, worries and concerns, they don't belong to us and they don't belong to God either. Shoo them out the door if you would. Sweep them away right, fold them up and throw it away About anything, but in everything, and I mean literally everything, remember in abundance. Yes, of course, by prayer and supplication. So we have the prayer, we have the confession, we have the mediation, the clear channel of communication to him. Supplication is more of the acts, the tolerable notions of what, the laboring of the deeds.
Speaker 1:In thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. That's where you find sustainment. Right, you're sitting down and it's the wish list. If you would, is there something I can help you with? What did you want and what did you need? Well, you shall confess it. You shall ask your Christ, your Savior, your Redeemer, your Lord, for it, and he will give you supplication. He will provide sustainment for you and you will be fulfilled within point. Sustainment for you and you will be fulfilled within point.
Speaker 1:Rhyme, reason and meaning. We forget about it, so our rejoicing gets turned into the want and need. And then it's the aggression of the assault, of staring down somebody else and telling them the way that you're living or what God has given you is not right for you. How can anything that Christ, our Lord, and God himself yes, of course. What he's done for us, how could it be wrong for anybody They've given you this in your life? No, this is for you and he's leading you. Don't forget about the Holy Spirit being the enactment, guiding you and leading you along the way. So if he shall be for us, who could be against us? And a lot of us.
Speaker 1:We need to get over the hump and I state that the theological maturity or the spiritual, intellectual, emotional maturity we need to advance. So rejoice in sadness and also rejoice in happiness. That's the point. You don't have anything to worry about. Rejoice, be happy. This is the day that the Lord made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118.24. A lot of us we go to church often. We've heard this often. This is the day the Lord has made. It's not ours, it belongs back to him. Yes, of course. This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Yes, of course. So very, very thankful for what. We have An interesting topic, and I'm not trying to get too off of track here.
Speaker 1:Last night we talked about how individuals should not be suffering Creatures. Right, your fellow brothers and sisters? Not even for one second shall anybody be capable of making decisions on you to where you're not happy, to where you've lost interest, to where you're being upheaved. That's actually a role of God. So they're having this extreme movement now to where health, emotions and well-being and pain and all these other aspects belong to God. It doesn't belong to creature. You can't be condemned or tortured because creature doesn't think it was right or I'm not qualified. You ever met a physician that they've got an MD? It's a piece of paper with ink on it, but it didn't come from God, it came from creature. And you're like, look, I want this substance and I need this and it works for me. They're like I'm not qualified. I'm like, oh no, I get it, it's okay, I get it. God bless, you have a very good day.
Speaker 1:So we need to get over it. We just kind of need to advance. We need to rejoice and not condemn. And if they're not capable and competent, very good, life goes on, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4, 7. Peace, peace, ease if you would. Yes, seek and you shall find, ask and you shall receive. But we need to be at contentment. I'm no longer seeking forgiveness, no, I feel good about life, right, which surpasses all understanding. So the knowledge the knowledge we call is the understanding. The forbidden fruit every now and then tastes real good, just to get at least one bite right. Very good, surpasses all understanding. We take it there. We'll guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Speaker 1:I hold what I've got near and dear to my heart, soul and mind. I tell individuals I'm big on charity, faith, compassion. Very good, I enjoy giving. Forgive me. But I tell everybody I'll give you everything that I have so that you can have your own. But of course there's certain things that I can't give you and it's just, it's not possible and it's not going to happen, but I would like to see you have your own and I think that's our purest form of testament, right? So guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. But then again, I don't have nothing to lose and I don't have to hold anything back from anybody. What I have to offer, I have to offer for everybody and that's the way this should be. So back to the Christ-like and thought and image, and words and deeds, and it definitely works.
Speaker 1:Rejoice in hope, Be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer Romans 12, 12. We rejoice in hope. Some days, the only thing that I have is the love of hope, and the hope of love Because I know that it exists, because I've seen God, I've experienced him and, yes, of course, I'm seeking pro-life, I'm seeking intimacy and relationships in every way, shape and form. But be patient in tribulation, be slow to anger is how it usually comes out. Because of tribulation, we as Christians, as believers, we know we're going to be condemned, we're going to be persecuted, that there's going to be other individuals that don't like it.
Speaker 1:I talked to a friend of mine. He lives way away from here, way down south, and he told me he says now, when it starts getting real big and your ministry's got a big following and you're receiving some really big donations, he says you're going to have to look out for yourself, jesse, look out for yourself, look out for your family. He says they're going to come after you. He says they're going to come out of nowhere. Come out of the woods and he do what you're supposed to be doing, but just be aware of what's going to be happening. So every day I think a little bit different as I'm advancing within this global ministry.
Speaker 1:Rejoice and hope and be patient in tribulation. I know he's got a funny way of working in my heart, soul and mind and I know that I can trust in him and that some of those individuals that might be crawling out of the woods, they might be seeping up out of the ground. I'm looking at them like my Lord, where'd you come from? They might be coming to get delivered. You know what? They might not have a drink of the cup, they might be looking for a little bit of bread, they might be hungry and they might be seeking shelter. So I try not to judge based off appearance and be patient within tribulation. Be constant in prayer. I know I'm going to delivering a lot of individuals to me. They look to be scorned, bitten and sorrowful, but give me the strength, the knowledge, the passion, the endurance to be capable of delivering them in every way, shape or form, and I really appreciate it. God bless you. I thank you, forgive me.
Speaker 1:The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with gladness. He will quiet you by his love. He will exalt you over with loud singing. Boy, it feels good to rejoice, don't it? Zephaniah 3.17. Doesn't it feel good to rejoice? Every now and then I'll get bored. I say you know what? I'm going to go sing some hymnals. I'll put the headphones in turn, the music up. I'll start singing real loud. I like it. The neighbors be looking out the window like my Lord, what's wrong with him? I'm just trying to enjoy God a little bit, trying to give thanks for what he's given me. So, lord your God, is in your midst, a mighty one who will save. We already know that. That's our confession, it's our testament. We're guaranteed that promise of eternity. He will rejoice over you with gladness. It feels good to be happy, doesn't it? Here comes rejoicing. He rejoices over us, we rejoice over him. You can't beat it. He will quiet you by his love.
Speaker 1:And sometimes you've seen individuals. They can't be quiet. They lose their cool, they're bitten, they're bitter. They're flying off the deep end. Everything's going flying. They grab stuff, they're throwing it in there. They don't look like they got God or Christ. He ain't rejoicing and they ain't got quiet either by his love. So it's the exact opposite, and we've seen this. When we see our fellow brothers and sisters suffering, we can acknowledge what is going on there. They need God and they need God now. You see me every now and then I raise a hand. Somebody's trying to pick or they're bicker with me and they're trying to fight with me and get stirred up into a mess. I raise the hand. It better be about God. Look, I just ain't got time for it. It better be about God.
Speaker 1:We've noticed that when our inequities get pushed into other individuals, we have no sense to be more. We're not capable, we're not able and there's not going to be any sense of fulfillment. But when we get bitter, when we get battered and we hold it near and dear to our hearts because it possesses and possesses form, ownership, it's outright ours. Now it's between you and God. That's a tough pill to swallow when we look in the mirror and we know that we've got steam rolling out of the ears and there ain't a lot we can do about it. And it's between you and God. Golly, that's a tough one. So we've really got to put it back within his hands.
Speaker 1:Rejoice, but be quiet. Quiet you by his love and he will exalt over you with loud singing. Praise it All right, proclaim it all right. Proclaim it. Go out there, raise the hand, stomp the feet, clap the hands. You might even want to throw a little bit of fan on the face straight. Nothing wrong with that. You've got to let it go and get it on out there, and that's part of it. He gives you everything that you need and happiness and joy can be found.
Speaker 1:So that's why, back to the back to the practice of health that we were referencing, they got a piece of paper with ink on it that creature gave them and the only thing they can tell you is I'm not capable, I'm not competent, I'm not mad at you. They're starting looking at you. You're outside stomping and singing and clapping hands, and well, that's not normal. It's not normal for you to be not thinking about God and not having God within every mindset and way, shape and form. And it can't be my problem, by the way. So it better be about God and we take it there and it really works.
Speaker 1:Lord, forgive me, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will take joy in the God of my salvation, habakkuk 3.18. Yet why and we break it down Sometimes we do the why. Yet in ET I will rejoice in the Lord. I will take joy in the God of my salvation. Notice that salvation is ownership. Did you ever think about it? Yes, of course, through the blood incarnation. He is risen. He is risen indeed.
Speaker 1:But how does your salvation become personal to you, and what is your purest form of testament within it? Because we have that advancement, we have those milestones, we have those moments to where we've overcame diversity, even the most powerful ones of us, and I say powerful in the sense of peace and contentment, to where we're not being crooked, to where we're not being led astray right. So I will rejoice and I will take joy in the God of my salvation. Notice the ownership there, how you seek the blood of salvation, the redemption, and how you've came above and beyond. That goes completely back onto your personal journey. So if there's any creature that's upheaving you, that's defying you, that's putting you through setbacks, twists, turns and failures, it's not of God, because your salvation is dependent on the Holy Spirit being the enactment. Don't be afraid to discover. By the way I stumble and I fall hallelujah and I also rejoice and I proclaim his saving glory within my life. In no way, shape or form am I ever going to fail to where I failed permanently. No, I'm not going anywhere. You know what this just ain't working out for me. Don't be afraid to turn the other cheek, to close the door, to lock it, to open another one and outright walk away.
Speaker 1:I'm currently seeking a new mission. I'm getting ready to try to get back on the road here. I'm going to be doing the Upper East Coast. I'm going to be doing New York, pittsburgh, maine, Vermont, new Hampshire, connecticut, all these Upper East Coast states here. I'm not sure how long it's going to take, but I'll be traveling on the road. I'm just so thankful and I got a lot on my mind and I can't wait to reach some of these heart, souls and minds.
Speaker 1:I've noticed, when I'm out on the road doing the traveling ministry instead of being at home, that individuals are coming to me. I feel their souls, I sense them, I can hear their wants and needs and they're being delivered to me and I'm capable of touching their hearts, souls and minds. I'm capable of providing very well services. I'm capable of finding sustainment, sustainment that they arguably thought that was never even going to exist. So God is truly working within me and he's continuing to work within others, and I'm just very happy for my salvation and how I'm redeemed and how I'm saved, and not only that, but how I'm converted and capable of helping other individuals. It feels real nice to know that I'm making a very big impact here in this world, and it continues to come back to me.
Speaker 1:Lord, forgive me. So, also, you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice and no one will take your joy from you. John 16, 22. That's a tough one, though, isn't it? Like I told you, you better find it. You better be rejoicing within the sadness. Don't deny it right, because there's power within it. So, also, you have sorrow now and forever. Don't forget about the now and forever, but I will see you again. It'll only be a short time coming. Before you know it, it'll be morning again, and your hearts will rejoice and no one will take your joy from you. This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine.
Speaker 1:Don't let anybody rain on your parade, as they would say it, and you get that it doesn't mean in a literal, bad way, but let your happiness, let your joy, let what he's given you don't be given in a way. You got to hold that near and dear to your heart so that you can be saved, so that you can be redeemed. It's within my salvation. This is what God did for me. You know what you get lucky Observation. You see something you like. You continue to make the right decisions. He might be capable of doing it for you.
Speaker 1:Always be encouraging when you see individuals that are going through trials and tribulations. I find it to be so alarming that when we see individuals going through trials and tribulations, we're quick to condemn, we're quick to insert ourselves with a sense of inequity. Oh, here I come. Well, I heard she's quite a few years younger than him, but he said he wants to marry her Now. They shall not wed. Here you come. You could be praising God. You know what God put them two together. They're heart, souls and minds. They're blessed, they're redeemed. Good for them. They're outright thankful. I'm sure that they got the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1:Each and every day we need to be careful of our personal assertions. If we've got something to offer somebody, let it be of praise, let it be of grace, let it be of fulfillment. Look, there's individuals that are out there suffering each and every day. I don't want to be suffering, so I don't want other individuals to be suffering. I'm looking to provide sustainment intellectual, spiritual, physical, intimate sustainment. Wait, I'm only a messenger. Don't kill the messenger. I'm a humble servant of God.
Speaker 1:Yes, christ, our Lord Jesus, have you ever heard of him? And it starts with that, the simple testament of taking and making that commitment. You know, I haven't heard of Christ Jesus. Or I have heard of him, yes, of course. Can you teach me more? Very good, so we humbly so confess and we put it back within his hands and we look to be guided and to be directed. All of us love to be saved, we love to be redeemed and we like the fulfillment of the reward that comes afterwards, the promise of the inheritance, yes, eternity.
Speaker 1:As sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing everything. 2 Corinthians 6.10. My Lord, is that not it? We hit it, we crossed the finish line there. It is, as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing everything. I tell everybody Lord, forgive me and I think different. You know, when you've got God in Christ, when you've got the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, the substance and it is not the worry, the concern, but it is the reason that you're walking, the reason that you're living, you have an abundance of everything. You don't have anything to worry about in any way, shape or form. But guess what? When everything you don't have anything to worry about in any way, shape or form, but guess what? When you don't have God, when you don't have Christ, you don't have anything.
Speaker 1:Back to the aspect I was talking about this morning. All right, I was talking about ownership. Now, anytime that I mean, if it's outright yours, it's yours. But if it ain't yours and it's borrowed, you're taking something for granted. Then you're owing it, and if you owe it, you don't have anything. In fact, you're going below where you should be.
Speaker 1:Some of us, we get to that happy medium we stumble, we fall, we get to ground zero and we got to build ourselves back on up. I'll be climbing the stairway all day getting back up to heaven, lord forgive me raising a hand condemning us, almost as if we're condoning the whip that's getting cracked across our back. I knew I made a mistake, right, and we accept it. We accept it, we continue to advance, but some of us we go below ground zero. Then we need that rope that's thrown down there, can you hear me Help? And it becomes very literal right, we take it way further than it needs to be. So I think, wrapping this up, and I'm going to close it up in prayer here, be careful how you assert other individuals.
Speaker 1:I have liked the perception of the view. I was once blind, but now I see, and, of course, eyes wide open, when, now and forever. But when you see somebody, be quick to acknowledge how God's working within them, even when you see inequity. And for those of you that are taking notes and you like to keep little post-it notes on fridges and you like put them on the mirror, some of my normal classes write this down, lord forgive me. Write this down. Find God within the inequity. Find Christ within the inequity. Find the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, within the inequity, before you know it, instead of walking out that door and somebody's condemning you.
Speaker 1:Things ain't going right. You're upheaved, you're mad, you're upset. I was doing everything I was supposed to. Now look at what happened. Now. Those worries, those troubles, concerns, they'll be sweeped right out the door, they'll float off away. They'll be pointed right on up into heaven to eternity.
Speaker 1:Believe it or not, we've been given everything that we need to be successful in every way, shape and form. And with that mindset and with that mentality, he is capable. He can deliver you. And guess what? When you find God within an inequity, you ain't got no worries, no troubles in this world. And that's how it goes back to.
Speaker 1:Let me wrap this up in prayer, our gracious Heavenly Father and Christ, our Savior, redeemer. Rejoice with love, with compassion, with sorrow, with grace. Let us be reminded of the inequity and the true fulfillment that we can find within one another. We learn by observation, one of the oldest learning methods that we have, including trial and error. So let us not be afraid to discover, to fail, but rather let us be excited, embraced with love, with joy, with happiness, to discover God and to discover Christ within every enactment. Let us be reminded that this is his day, the day that he has made, and that this is still the world that God created. And we are doing no more than trying to spread the message, the good news, if you would and continue to fill with love, with joy and with grace, with love, with compassion, in the name of the Father, son and the Holy Spirit, we ask that you hold our nearest, dearest thoughts to our hearts and you hear them compassionately, as we still have wants and needs. In Jesus' name, we pray amen.
