We're living in Victory! The battle's won in Victory! We've overcome whatever comes our way! No one can change the scene! We're living in Victory! Through our Lord Jesus Christ! Nashville, Nashville, Nashville East Tennessee, East Tennessee Let's let's let's pray right there. Let's pray father in name of Jesus Lord We thank you for another day And we thank you Lord that you fill us with the knowledge of your will and our wisdom and spiritual understanding And we may walk worthy of you father fully pleasing you being fruitful in every good work increasing in the knowledge of God Strengthened with our might according to your glorious power for our patience long-suffering with joy Giving thanks to you father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saints in the light Was delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the son of your love in whom we have redemption Through his blood the forgiveness of sins father right now. We thank you that you put our faith together We put our faith together right now believe that we're gonna hear from you and that you're gonna do all the speaking and all the talking And not none of me That you snatch the blinders off our ears and eyes and give us ears to hear and a heart to receive your word in Jesus name amen How many people Know how good God really is I'm talking good I'm talking super duper good You know You know the term people say of God is good all the time But in first John it says God is love and it's a period behind it That's where they got that saying from they got that saying from first John but God is good period
Okay So you remember that term you be good and God gonna bless you You do want to do your best put your best foot forward and all that but what what about when you ain't good though Everybody wake up this morning. It's a good thing to wake up man. Have you been good? No No So that's not a true saying then that's not true. See God bless you because that's what he do See God is love and it's a period behind it. So if we not good God still is You see what I'm saying? See if we not good. He's still gonna take care of his business of being good because that's what he is That's why God wants us to follow Him so that Somebody read about for right. I'm a student not a scholar. You know, it's pretty much say imitate your father That's why he wants us to imitate him because he's all good. A Lot of times people think this they think especially when you be on the street on drugs, especially in jail We think like a lot of time people think well God's punishing me. You ain't gotta raise your hand. We ever thought about God was punished. You ever thought that to yourself? It's just God punishing me Well, you think that curtain you say I've been bad, right? You've been bad. So God's punishing you Hebrews 6 18 says it is impossible for God to lie. God is not a liar So if it says in 1st John that God is love and it's appeared behind it just because We ain't good that don't mean he ain't good and God blesses because he's good You can always put your faith in him regardless of what you'd have done if you'd have been good or bad Now person say well, that's kind of hard to do Reason why is because all your life you heard if you be good God bless you So when you bad you thinking This we think I'm gonna have to suffer for a minute before God bless me for the prayer get out So I'm gonna have to have to go through something first. I got it God is a faith God and if
If your if my and your works make us good Then we all hit me everybody going here because Jesus said it plainly the man called him good. He cut him off Jesus said there's none good with God he cut the man off and And and so if it and I think that Jesus he didn't do nothing wrong So a person asked they said now y'all read this scripture for right? Well, he told the man he said there's none good with God So you so you say to yourself? Well, how can I make it then if ain't no good for God? I'm hit then cuz if Jesus said it were we know you didn't do no sin But the thing is this right here now anybody got kids and Anybody no virgins in here is I know Charlie P ain't no bird Men everybody know that mean and women come out of me and right if I know that right? Hey, I know that I mean Everybody Okay, so since meaning we come in many women come out of me if I know the story Adam and Eve So when Adam messed up When he messed up he God was looking for me. He was like Adam. Where are you? He said I hid myself as I was naked, but he just lied cuz he just hid it so cuz he had seen Trying to get away from God, you know, he was like, oh, I don't he was in a situation where he never understood He didn't get this That's the first time you see lying coming into the earth because because this is the devil's nature coming into the earth through Adam So when this happened I'm gonna say something. I don't ain't trying to get frisky. I don't I don't know. I don't I don't I don't I don't know I'm gonna get frisky or done with it But everybody says many women come out of me and all of us at this time when Adam seen was in his nutsack I got to just keep real with jail. So we got to true all up. No, seriously. This is true All of us was in Adam's nutsack Now hear me out. Hear me out. Hear me out. Let me tell y'all something. Yeah So anybody in here didn't know about gangs and street life, you know that of The Hatfields in the McCoy's we're gonna use them as an example If I'm a Hatfield and the McCoy's been beefing for 10 years and I'm a Hatfield and I'm I'm
Just say say I'm a Hatfield At 20 years old and then I had some I have get a woman pregnant. She have triplets So now it's got three more Hatfields coming out of me. I'm 40 not a 19 So now they can shoot guns double bar shotgun, whatever you get, you know, thirty-six, whatever When the McCoy's catch one of them and say they one of them say no, I'm going to college I ain't got nothing to do with y'all beefing. I'm straight y'all go ahead They ain't hearing that By birth they have become the opposition of the McCoy's So since Adam messed up he sided with the devil's kingdom we automatically became God's enemies That's why Jesus said ain't none good Because we have the devil's nature that's in our flesh. It ain't we can't get away from it. So when somebody say well I hope my goods way out my bats and Peter's standing at the gate and let me in when I die When I die Bible it says that your righteousness is filthy rags But the good thing about God, he's so good. So God is good. He's he's past good. Oh, you know, I got a good grandma good auntie God's gooder than grandma. Everybody knows how right everybody from down here, right? We say gooder You say you not where you from What Gooder God is gooder than grandma gooder and And you know The thing with God is this I'm sure you something when you got like a good mom or a good grandma or good aunties No, sir. Well when you got locked up One grandmama say Well, God don't God don't God don't sit people down in here and force people to serve him and to make grandma say God don't do that God is good So what he had to do was God had to send his best
It's in his best. He had to send his best because Adam had did treason He he did the ultimate mess up because he messed up not just him He messed up past present and future of people that God loved. He messed us all up now. Don't get it twisted God made a way of escape for us because he loves So everybody know that God is is is God Uh, uh, uh, God, the son is God, the father, God, the son and the Holy Spirit. God, the father, the son, the Holy Spirit. Okay. So this is, this is Trinity make, which makes one. So this way I'm going to say, I'm God, for example, this is, this is serious. Jesus, my right leg and my right arm is Jesus. This is God. This is the Holy Spirit right here. God cut off his left, his right arm and his right leg. And he sucked it to pay for the sin that Adam did. And if my right arm and my right leg has its own personality, Jesus willingly did this wasn't, he wasn't forced. He wasn't, he could have, he could have just said, Lord, I don't want to do it. And he still would have been who he was, but he sucked his, and when Jesus, when God sucked his left leg, right arm and right leg, when he sucked him, he sucked his best because remember in the scriptures, it says that the whole, he opposed the whole world by the word of his power, Jesus is the word. And the word became flesh and dwelt among us. A man messed it up, which was Adam. So a man had to fix it. So he came in the form of a man. Now, you know how a person say this? Oh, don't nobody know my story. Oh, woe is me. I got a testimony.
I just, God's look, look, look, if you, you know, you asked him, I said, why are you putting this lifestyle over God? You don't know my life. It was hard. And I'm not saying it wasn't hard, but I'm going to show you something. And the Bible says that Jesus is not a high priest that he does not feel our infirmities. Now I'm going to show you something. Let's say that a guy I used to rape and says, I always, I do this a lot. I use a rapist as an example. Let's say it's due as a rapist. Right. And let's just say, he say, well, I don't know that in Jesus stuff. I don't know that Jesus clearly said, we know God's not a liar. He clearly said that, um, there's only one way to get to the father and that's through me, he said, no man cometh unto the father, but by me. Okay. So since, since that's what we know, because this is God's word and God's not a liar, if a rapist say, I don't know, Jesus Christ, I'm straight on that. I mean, I ain't got nothing to do with that. I'm straight on that. That's his prerogative or his perspective or what he choose to do because he has his own will. He has his own will and God will never go over at your will. Can't do that. Can't, he cannot write. He said in the Bible, God said he wished all come to the knowledge of the truth. That don't mean Christians. That mean everybody that mean the Muslim, that mean everybody. But he wants you to willingly draw near to him.
Then he'll draw near to you. He can't, he can't force you. God can't sit you down and force you to serve him. Cause it's like a rapist trying to have sex with a woman and force rape, force sex out of her. God ain't no rapist. So God don't, he do not. He absolutely will not over at your will. And the devil can't over at your will either. Okay. So if a guy's a rapist, he, he, he rejects Christ. Since Jesus was sent down here and he got on the cross. Now, when he got on the cross, there was no sin in him. Period. Remember he said the Satan comment and he, and he said, he, uh, he, he said he has nothing in me. Meaning he has nothing. Remember, remember he said that he said that because the devil had nothing he could use. And I can't, this man ain't did no wrong. I, he said, there's nothing he said. He has nothing in me when he got on the cross. He said, why my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Because what has happened is all the sins of the world, past, present, and future, then came in on Jesus' body. But then he had to die and suffer for them sins. So that's why Jesus, when he died, he went for you, you, you, you, you, you, you, me, me, me, everybody, your kids, my kids, they kids past, present, future. But he suffered. He went to hell.
He had to suffer. So now that the rapist, the man, that's a rapist. He said, well, I want the Jesus stuff. Now, when he died, that means Jesus paid for what Adam did. Cause somebody got paid for what Adam did. Adam messed up. Somebody got paid for that. Jesus did that already, but the man's rejecting it. It's like you standing in the line in front of me and Chick-fil-A and you say, well, I'm gonna pay for your food. And I say, no, no, I got it. So now I gotta pay for it. So that's what the man did. He got him, got, he got Jesus at the Chick-fil-A line. And he said, nah, he got to pay for it. So watch this since he done ordered a whole bunch of rape all his life, he sold nothing but rape, you reap what you sow. He sold nothing but rape. Now he didn't have to reap this, but he chose. Now somebody got to pay for what Adam did still. So now he got to go to hell he got a pain and he got to pay for eternity So one thing he raped he did a bunch of rape. So since he did that for eternity, what you think gonna happen to him? When you put a seed in the ground the apple tree a seed seed and you get a whole tree back, right? He's gonna go to whole tree of rape He's gonna be demons from here all the way to Egypt knocking him off and raping him for eternity. This is eternity This is eternity This has happened this is eternity hear me out this this is gonna miss y'all Now Jesus got on the cross For all rapists past, present, and future so when he died and went to hell what happened to him? What happened to him?
This is how serious the death and burial resurrection of Jesus Christ is. What happened to him? What happened to him when he died and went down there for the dope fiend somebody having the shakes What happened to him? Now he ain't even do no wrong But what happened to him? He died for the child molester. What happened to him when he went down there? What happened to Jesus? See we think we thinking You don't think that but that's what happened No, that's what happened cuz see somebody had to pay for what Adam did that's why his name is above all names That's why he's exalted. That's why God has exalted him. That's why he you can't go no other way You can't you can't get around what God say it is like, okay You can't get around what God say if somebody get on the biggest the top of this building and jump off It is laws in the earth called gravity gonna bring you down and hope you don't die. But that's probably what's gonna happen Is you gonna fly off like a bird? It don't happen like that do it you can't get around what God say Since Jesus God saw Jesus Jesus paid the price the man said I don't want that I'm a pay it yikes Now for eternity, this is what he did because this is what he chooses This how much God loves That's whatever seeing you ever did in your life. Think of the stuff. You ain't gonna tell nobody You can take to the grave. They got that you God and the devil was there and they saw it God Says look if you come holly with me, I don't care nothing about that. I love you still I got a way where you can come on in cuz Jesus already paid for it Remember the Bible they say he who began the good work in you Who began to go working you God did he gonna see it complete GZR is something Jesus already done So, you know how and and ladies you're gonna you're gonna feel me when I say this You know how when you say I'm gonna do the right thing I'm gonna do I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna I'm who is I am
That's you doing it You can do all things through Christ history You can do all things through Christ they strengthen you see God got to get all the glory, you know, why cuz Jesus did what he did See it all rides on the cross You know what? And I mean, I know people say this but hear me out hear me out when I say this Now you got it. If you don't agree what I'm saying, just study the word Remember the Bible. It says six things. God don't like seven. He cannot stay You doing a good job are you you you get out you got a good car I mean, you know say you was on crystal meth selling crystal meth. You don't do nothing. No more done with the glass You stick you are you good mother everything you straight? What's your name? Cheyenne, I'm so proud of you Six things God can't stand. So six things guys. Hey 70 can't stand. What's the first? That's that's that's it too, but that's it too, but that ain't the first one a proud look You don't like the look of pride you see what I'm saying Now a lot of times we suit is maybe I'm proud of you if I say I'm proud of you who gets the glory But what God gonna get is You see what I'm saying? And then if I say I'm proud of you and I get the glory You see what I'm saying? And then if I say I'm proud of you and I keep saying I'm proud of you Who's just gonna get stuck out? Guess what? You'll start doing You'll start staying on that good path And you'll start trying to do it. You see what I'm saying? You're doing now who strict you doing it in it ain't God's your strength and Then once God take his hand out the way cuz you pushed him out the way Now you in pride and if you mess up and can't get it, right? That's how stuff happen. That's how stuff happen when we sit around here and we say man for the 45th time. I'm not gonna do them drugs No more and we end up doing Because we're trying to do it in our strength We got to say Lord. I
Need your grace God's grace is history to do for you, but you can't do for yourself. We say by what grace through faith See, I'm saying grace through faith that not of yourself is the gift of God we save because of God's strength He cut his writing right arm and right leg off and something and it willingly went which was who was Jesus and paid the price See see God got to get his glory because the price that was paid was too serious. It was too serious of a price No, no, see what we got to do is when we trying to I know somebody probably saying well, what do I do then? Tell you what you do. Oh, what do I say then tell you what you say? Hey Cheyenne, right I see any in town. I think anyway, uh Cheyenne Man, I am so man is amazing. What God is doing in your life My all glory be to God man. You are rolling out here, man I just I just man I just thank God for what he's doing for you I usually you turn around say man. It's all him man all glory be to him I'm telling you God's really looking out and then you say yeah, I'm doing this. I'm doing this man But you know my person say all by his what grace his strength See that gives him the glory But see it's like these sayings that the devil put out here God has set you down the good die young It goes so easy simple as I'm proud of you. Now you say well, I don't mean it like that But the thing is say say you a mother and you got a kid in college and you say I'm proud of you, son Well, he don't stick his chest out cuz he's gonna think that you proud of what he doing. I make my mama proud Now watch this So he get out there here tears you or something or one of them colleges and you see them little pretty girls He starts staying he's smart though, but he starts staying up late He get the drinking and then you get the kick in it and then he said man, I got a class I'm tired of food. I've been up. He's I just walked in the door Seven in the morning. You gotta go to class at 715. You've been up all night You start popping that around in you start popping them out of Rawls cuz I gotta make mama proud Hold on. He ran out of Rawls now. You didn't miss somebody
And he's Nashville and they didn't gave you some cocaine He Or South Nashville, so he any oxen where he pot nice no cocaine Danny Danny, I go building again to him, but he pull up. He put my old-school jelly roll, you know He put snow powder now, but you see what I'm with is more I'm going with this whose strength is he in He's in his own You see what I'm saying? See we got us tell our kids we got to know about God cuz we got to like he is about God Cuz that God is our lifeline Now you people that mama grandma with them, you know, we think well they'll get their prayers answer But we've been bad. So we you know, God ain't we've been good. So God ain't gonna bless us He's not gonna answer our prayers, but that's not true Because he God's no respected person and Jesus already said ain't nothing good. So, you know, grandma is good. She's not good But but one thing about God He he deals with you where you are I'm not gonna tell my eight-year-old son to park the car. Did he wreck it did I punish him? He did what you where your understanding is? Yeah, you're not tripping on that. God's not tripping on that, you know a lot of times we get intimidated by people, you know somebody saying Especially me mom down, you know, they well I've been saved for 40 years No, no one for 25 years. Well, praise the Lord. Okay. Well, that's good for you I gotta use somebody in this example. I think my Eugene what's what's your name? Heather Heather I guess in your past life you can use a con artist wouldn't go like this Heather You can trust me Am I on you? But But have a look look I'm sure you something Now now everybody know men and women come out of me When your father mother got together your father mother got together
Sperm came out. What up? That's a lot of spirits in this burn. I'm trying to get into that age. I come to this world How come Heather's here then? Why are you here? We're just accident. You're the strongest one She's a con artist God knew listen God knew you before you was in your mother's womb So God had to save you Heather come forth So he had to he had to tell you to come forth and all your brothers and sisters. They had to go back So when he told you to come forth that mean heather means something to God That mean you are important to God and this is true and God God I'm gonna say hand select. He was it's true. He hand picks Everybody that's right now breathing on this earth. God has to do that Remember the Bible he said the numbers of your hairs on your body and your head a number to him. Oh, that's real business God said Heather come forth and told your brother system. They got to go back That means that you're important to God and God got something to do out here and Anybody that's still breathing that goes for all of us. We're all important to God So meanwhile say 25 years, that's fine but God say You still important to me just like me mom Yeah, and even more God's love is balanced, but I'll say this is me talking even more I would say because Attention wise he would give more attention. So a lot of people think like well, she's getting the blessing. She got a new car She got a good job, man What about me? God's really Got a whole boatload bundle for you, too But he don't override what you believe My partner he ain't hearing a Mike Brown Mike Brown got some so good. He said Mike Brown said you got to be your own best friend You'll be your own best friend You know, you can't you can't you can't downplay you
Well, I'm just ugly. I never get a husband. I'm just you can't do that. You cannot downplay you because he God Jesus is the high priest of our confession He can only use what we're talking about that's good. He can't use evil if you're talking negative about you That's what the devil use God can't use that so you got to be your own cheerleader. You got to be your own pump pop yourself up Miss pop yourself up. You got to be your own miss pop yourself up. You got to be because if you God can't override what you believe in with your will and he can't do that Remember said Bible said according to your faith is gonna be done unto you quick example You get y'all get out of here. Y'all all get Hondas. They all used y'all ain't on drugs That's a good testimony but if y'all all got paid for Rolls Royce to 2025 electric board paid for and brand new homes and y'all living in the outskirts So he where were y'all from and them big houses paid for what's the better testimony? First person thing. Oh, well, you know need all that. Well see thing is it ain't about just you though It's about your kids. It's about people when they walk up to you and say wow, how'd you get that? Nice car? How'd you the goodness of God who's getting the glory now? God is and see God ain't small. He eat a bitty No, he ain't he bigger than our neighborhood. You know, I'm saying he big in our neighborhood. He want more for you You
