God's Not Done

Good morning. Church family. Today, is Sunday, May 8th, 2022. We want to wish all the mothers out there, a very happy Mother's Day as we get started in our series, let it go. Now. You may be wondering, why don't, you know? We have to take a little bit of a rest. I trust that our Bishop Fred Williams was sufficient, and wonderful for you all hear the enthusiasm yesterday men. Hallelujah. So, and we think Bishop Williams for what he did for us. In our absence. And we have come back, rejuvenated restored and ready. Amen. Hallelujah. So as I said, we want to continue in the, Let It Go a series. And today we want to talk about one. Simple fact. God's not done. God's not done. We want to remind you how we started this series. It was out of proverbs 4, primarily verse 23, but we discussed in detail proverb. Proverbs 4 verse is 2327 or 23. Keep thy heart with all diligence for out of it. Are the issues of life. Amen. So you got to keep it with respect to that point that we really want to talk about on today. God not done. Why is that so important as a topic for today? Because all the stuff that's going on. You have to know and keep the mint. It keeps that old cheeks filled in your heart that no matter what man does we don't have the final say. Thank God. And he's not done. And there's no one on this Earth that can outdo God. No matter how they may present themselves, no matter what titles, they have attached to their name. No matter what office they sit in no matter what Authority they operate from the ultimate Authority and power belongs to God. So we're hoping to be uplifting on today with that solid point. And if we leave with nothing else, when we want to talk about it, leave with today, is no matter what's going on in your life. No matter what. Persecution you face, wet threat, you face. What? Depression you face with the spare you face what chaos? What confusion and does it matter? I want you to know that God is still in it off and there is a response that he is looking for from each one of us and the response is linked to your knowledge, your belief, your understanding affirmation and confession. I don't care. What's going on, God's not. You just get braids without can you? What type of spiritual warfare? You would realize you're in spiritual warfare. Whether you want to believe it or not, and that Spiritual Warfare comes to threaten you to challenge you, to get you to believe that you are without hope that you are in a position of feet that there is no victory for you. To realize in your life. The enemy wants you to believe that you are at the end of your rope. And if you don't get in your spirit, the fact that God's not done, you might believe it. You might concede it and God is just waiting cuz he knows who he is.

A map. I want you to think back to when you were young children, being reared by your parents. And there was a fight that your parent was expecting you to stand up to, because they knew what they put inside of you. And they knew that the enemy that was confirming, you and threatening you and challenging you to a fight was not a match for you. Because Mama knew what she put inside of you. Praise God. All that's good. And if you coward and if you acted as though you were afraid and you let live really beat you up, you have another confrontation coming with the one that the positive side view the strip. The power and the ability to overcome Little Billy. I got. And the question will be. Why didn't you do what I taught you to do? My God, Amen. And here's the kicker because here was always the last question. Do you think, do you think I was standing by the wayside?

But nothing. Do you think I would have? Let him beat you up if that's what the end was going to be? No, I would have intervened at the right time, but I'm expecting you to engage because that's the response you did. When somebody comes at you with trouble. To engage and there's no way we looking by the wayside. I was going to let you lose. Can't you see God saying that to you right now. I see that in you. I see what the enemy is trying to do. What? I know what I put in you. I put my word and you I put my time and you put my counsel in do when you pray that I gave you indication that I heard your friend in faith and believe I gave you a miracle.

Ben 10 games. Ben 10 games, we are sitting around like we are free. It's going to happen. We've received. Blow, after blow after blow to the point where we think.

Whenever you felt like, okay. I can do it that with the Holy Spirit On The Rise Up In You.

Domino. How long will it? How long? How long are you going to wait on the sidelines? Lord? I need you.

A man stuff out. Remember what Stephen did when he was being challenged by the council that the holy spirit is very the where was clear. The Holy Spirit was there, it was on him and that he was in.

And told them that is what you think the truth is, but the truth isn't even know. You're not the truth, you're alive.

A man, a man. No. What did God say? I have not given you a spirit of fear, but courage sound mind, not to go on an emotional fit, not to respond in a motion for when you engaged with the Spirit of Courage and sound mind. That means you're not afraid to step out. If you have the good mind and intellect to know how to step out, you know, how to be strategic in your response. So I notice that as I'm ducking and dodging initially to see what blows the enemy has for me, Little Billy always comes out with his right. So what Imma do is imma undercut with my left to get them to come down and then I use my right?

God gives us this through his worst through the Holy Spirit. You don't, can you imagine those of us that appraisers and worshippers that we spend our time and worshiping and singing? And you know, getting to that moment.

And then we do nothing.

It doesn't even go together. If you love God enough to surrender in the spirit of worship, love them enough to surrender in the spirit.

That's what palsy. That's what Peter did. That's what all his disciples do. And the last words that Jesus spoke to us, before he left us where instructions, go out into all the world and preach the gospel, and make them in gay and make them just Cycles. You can't get there if you want engaged, the enemy is busy and making little replicas of itself.

And they are strong and and quit to speak and quick to engage. Where are we? Where are we? We are so silent. We're loving those that seem like they're people of.

Give the appearance that they're of God which then leads to this further lie that that's what God is.

Because we don't want confrontation.

We don't want the problems that come with conflict.

Then what are you here? A man, a man. So how do we get into the spirit of Engagement? Let's go to Romans 12:1, through 5, doesn't look like it would fit what we need to learn to do. I deceived you therefore Brethren by the mercies of God, because he still getting your time to get it right, that you present yourselves a Living Sacrifice. Holy and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. now, when you look at this, It sounds. Only doesn't it? It sounds as though what Paul is describing here is the priests are in the worshipper to go before God in the spirit of free in the spirit. I'm not making mockery of it. I'm making my for your bus. What we do. Because Paul is saying that God is requiring so much more from us than a song. Dinner dance. Amen.

So I know this is weird.

You've been taking the lead and I don't want to deprive you of that. So take it away, Apostle. Amen.

How big is?

People.

And they're not training them for battle for them to just sit around out in AJ. That is such a good point. So as the body of Christ. A believer's. How are we supposed to be preparing the Saints for bath?

first, we've got to Get underwear. A man and make sure that we are in tune with what the holy spirit is telling us, but don't be afraid to. Don't be afraid. It was deposited, you know, so that's what we're supposed to be walking in his that both speak. It is the holy spirit is giving you and that part right there. Don't speak. I don't speak defamation. Don't speak, slander and insults. Don't speak those things or fear even Pink truth. God is not in my experience has been different. It's so contrary to what you're saying. I'm not calling you. Any name. I'm not attacking you. I'm just not agree with. Because I believe in the word of God. Doesn't make you a monster. It doesn't make me a month stir. It just means we disagree. And if you want to take it a step further, be careful, cuz you're not taking it a step further with humans. You're not taking it a step further with flesh and blood, but you're taking it a step further with the God I serve. So, if you don't want to accept them based on the truth. I'm trying to give you.

Amen.

And I don't have to do that. I don't have to scream that I can come, please say it. Cuz I know who he is. And I know who I am interested. Amen. Hallelujah. Anybody else.

Because out of it flows, the issues of life. And I think, Call the pizza.

That that's around you live, but that's stupid to challenge you in those areas in before, you know what, he's got. And so, you know, how some things have happened for me and if I would have just kept those things in better position to make sure.

Angel.

Well, I want to go back to the construction of the verse where it's I beseech, you, therefore, there's a rule that we use is there for find out what it's there for you. So, the idea that the writer of Romans is basically Some say, pleading are negotiating. Meeting somebody off at the side in a football game to huddle and so that you can consult with that individual and give them the latest and the greatest, what the expectations are of the coach, for the coach can convey the plan and reinforce those that are participants reinforce them actively engaging in their role so that they can make their contribution in all of our contributions are not going to be identical. As a relates to our individual responsibilities because we have individual duties. So, you know, you have we use basketball, you have the guard spot spot and then you got the Five Spot and that's generally the center. But within that, you have a small full guard. So you have all these different players that have individual responsibilities. None of your responsibilities being the same, but their obligation, To each other is one game, and one Focus, one objective, and that is to win the coach's strategy. When coach begins to see that the strategy is not being carried out by those who are participants, then he pulls them to the side and then he restates the objective and helps them understand. The idea of dribble penetration and what's open and what they may be missing because they're actively engaged in the game and you're actually actively engaging the games, you know, the emotions are high, you know, a drone is is, is is full. So sometimes something that she would see regularly, or that's obvious. It's not as obvious because you caught up in the emotions of it, but the coach on the sidelines, has the position of observation. He's not participating in his emotions. Are not the same, the same objective to win but it's not the same emotion because his duties and responsibilities of different when we as the body of Christ are called together and we huddle, then what we do is we identify those weak spots, so we can share them up. What are objective and that this is not all about you. It's about the win for the team, not about your individual stats. Yes, you may be able to score for it, but we may not need for it because they may let you go because the rest of your team is not involved. So if the other four players are not involved and did not in the rhythm of the game, even though the one teammate has scored a tremendous amount, the team still suffers the loss because of one person can't be 50 people. Why you can't defend all five positions? And so the objective is Paul, is that having been there acting in a type of Coach reminds us what our objectives are and they're all driven by God's mercy. So we already got a head start because God has season and has established. What we are to do. All we have to do is engage and then give that presentation at work. See, every individual has to give their presentation and it's, every individual has their own individual Rule. And their individual contribution, the contribution guarantees the Wii, Because we are achieving Prosperity that we teaching in the balance for. So everyone can win because everyone's not going to be rich or wealthy. That's a fallacy is that in those preachers and teachers that tell you that a lying to me? Because if you go throughout the Bible, all of God's people were not wealthy. Many of them will be living substandard. But they maintain the position of prosperity because they realized that the sum total of God's. Will God's plan for them doesn't necessarily include.

Amanda. I love the basketball example that you given, because as you were speaking, what was really pressing in my mind, is the fact that there are certain number of players on the court, each with a different job to do, but like you said that same goal. So if one's there to primarily block, you know, the lane of traffic to the basket, that's what they do. And if one is there to position himself or herself in a, in a way to get the basket? That's what they do. And if one is there just to get the basket, I'm going to get the ball. And if one is there to get the ball into the basket, then everybody is trying to the shooter to put it into the basket. If something's gotten into their head, they got angry because they got elbow. Call Ben they're just supposed to but that's when the coaches and if the coach that is messed up because they've got their engaging in their emotion, but they're not engaging in the common goal. Then what does the coach to take them out? And there's a b**** play. All of them are all apart of the same team and when they collectively win, it's a win for them off. Whether they had to come off the bench to realize the wind or if they were one of the starting players. This is so important in the sink because like you said, not everyone to be rich, but everyone will be in Richmond if they engage.

Give me some players. Never Get Off the Bench, but when the players step up to get the rain, they're right. There. They all get the same. And here's the other thing. It could be the one that's on the b****. That is the source of strength for the ones that are on the court. Because when they get emotionally distracted, it might be the wisdom of the one on the bench. That brings them back to where they need to be in the same position are the same setting, that the coach is so they're observing the game because they know my name could be called it anytime. So, I've got to be studying the person, who I'll be replacing. Right? And who's garbage, man, make sure you shutting down. He's going to the right. He can't go to the left and so you give that bit of information to your teammates. When he goes out. He may be a better Defender. What do you may not have the the offensive prowess as that? You may have a skillset, but he may be a better Defender. So he may know how to shutting down. Stop him from scoring. And his objective is not necessarily the score, but he knows who owned the team is the score. So he's going to try to get a steal. If he gets to steal, pretty much guarantee going to make the point, which is on, put them ahead or keep them ahead or cause them to draw closer in what we tend to forget is that Dynamic, is that so call the stalking to the whole team, the whole Squad, and he's not necessarily General in before. If you go back to around shopping.

We don't want to get caught up in the gender characterizations because he's talking about both because we're all on the team and we all add to the win. And so, when he says that you present, this is the point that typically Christians forget, is that, that you have to make a presentation. And this goes to the role of something. Okay, and in the Old Testament, it would be some type of sacrifice like a turtle dove pigeon, on your economic level, establishing that everybody was rich. Trump or Clinton can offer a lamb, some broken offer, a book sample Kit, only offered a turtle dove pigeon, cuz that's as much as they can afford and goddamn required. If they all offer the same offerings of the. We tell you to give as God has blessed and prosper. You to give does that and prospered you to get. Is that. So required to make a presentation for all his mercies?

Everybody is included. No one is exclude it even and it's all of us exactly the same. So if you make $10, if you and your lifestyle, exact same way, is that? So if you only made $100,

You wouldn't be able to last it and be able to leave even based on the standard of living. So he's Fair. He's righteous any Stan. Hey, the mercy that God has bestowed on you. Make you enable you to give a presentation. You must give a presentation and he says, but the presentation before the bodies of other species. I want chores. And uses interesting enough, a participle. And we use verbs in the place of sometimes. The participle is the use of the verb and we use it and you see it in living. You know, a present participle, would be living word. Where is the past participle? Would be the word lived? Okay, so you follow me? Okay? Are not the present. That's okay. The verb aspect of it is where you see the motion in the movement. So the boiling egg and then the past would be the egg, your bodies, a Living Sacrifice. Holy and acceptable unto God, mean that you may present it, but it may not be acceptable.

Because if you don't position it, right? If you don't serve it up, right, if you don't do what he tells you to do with the old sacrifice, exactly how they were supposed to be laid on the altar.

So this says to the believer don't think, because you're a believer that God's going to accept everything you are. Cuz sometimes you offer stuff in this messy. It's not your best. You give unless be something you can do more, you know, this goes to if you want to talk about is that the million-dollar but you only gave 100. I don't want that. You could have kept you not doing nothing special. Is that cuz that didn't cost you anything? See, if it doesn't cost you. It's not worth offering because it costs. He could have just thrown us any kind of sacrifice. He gave his son. The closest and greatest thing to bring Salvation.

We always want to First Class God to rescue us immediately. If we don't want to hurt some of us, don't get it. All your talents would join the choir. I would receive that position with you. yeah, then you be mad and fussing and in a top-shelf never gives us less than that because he can't

Amen, so, why do we render him something? Less than that? Well, you know, none of us are perfect.

You can run, the. Perfection plus Perfection is when you reached. Your limit when you can't you give in your off your very best. That's perfect. Then why do you think I should accept it? And then you just said any kind of way, all kind of stuff. Come out your mouth. Unholy, not set aside for anything, you know, is that you know, you go get yours and then you take care of everything else. I forgot.

But be careful the reason you in the spot you're in right now. Glenn Beck.

Trying to sign wine. Read the word. Do the word got told us what he wanted. He told us how he wanted it and we're obligated to give me what? He asked a man and he ask any more of you than you're capable of. So cut, stop lying to yourself cuz that's what you doing. And God's not obligated to do anything to you and for you, he doesn't. But never this is his will has nothing to do with you because you're good is what he's decided to do. And if you want to please he You know, you know how it is when you come up and you know that they are rolling in dough and bawling and they come up here and they give you a role after all the stuff he done for them in their life. In a roll up and give you a roll.

You talking about? Warren Road.

Does it make sense? It doesn't a two dozen so that, you know, versus what they did then some of them, you know, they gave everything that they had.

My belated God, Rest, her soul administrator. Ruby. Strawberry has a son, his name is Ron and, you know, Ronnie has some challenges earlier in his life. But I remember Mother's Day. He had come to the church and he was Mother's Day, come to the church. And he have so Ronnie went and he picked some flowers out of a gardener from from Summer Street. Some plates and he came and he gave it to her. And when Ruby saw it, a ruby looked because I know Joe gave his dude, and said his say, Michael gave his new, said his all of which each of the other two. There's was more expensive cost more. Okay, but it didn't cost them more. So if you looked at what they have left in their account, it didn't cost them more until even though she took it and she smiled as she took it but I'm waiting for the actor Matt. So after Ronnie have left, I was looking my said, you know more than any of the other. She said, pastor. What do you mean? I said he gave you the best, he had he has no money to go get you.

Did he took it upon himself to go and find you something to get that cost more than anything, your other two sons of giving? Animated sink. Cuz it made her think and put it in context based upon their Village is a GF who actually gay which was closest to the heart to me when you got a lot, you just go buy something other than this money you make, but it didn't hurt you because I know that's not going to be as nice as what they going to do. I wonder if she's going to accept it in the same manner. So you got to fight through all of that that dealing with stilt, God's looking that conflict that trouble that you dealing with me. He's looking at how that's afflicting you and what state is putting you in because you have an inability to do better than what you done. And I may not be any fault of your own. I could be at your own phone, but irrespective of any of that is what you gave. So God says you set it aside for me. And he determines if it's acceptable, and he says, don't even give it a second thought. Because that's what reasonably you should be performing a man. That's the least that you can get. So he tells us what he wants Living Sacrifice.

Nothing day. Because when you are live doing it, you struggle with. Struggles right there when you did when you're struggling with.

So now after I've done it what is going to be in bunk'd while I'm doing it, but there's a Continuum so it's not in and of itself out this all the time. Everyday every hour. Every minute every second. How often I give you mercies. Don't you want service to service? Why don't you want service to service? Is that hey I do this for you.

What in the same thing?

Don't go along.

But be not conformed, what to what? So that means that you can. See, you can become a column.

You can become a come off, you can ask emulate. 2. And you know, when you assimilate, you know, what process at a simulation? Association. Lucky associate with dogs. You going to have to wait? Cuz that's the dogs.

Will simulate Facebook and I see it all day everyday. Twice on Sunday. You go on Facebook right now. In the name of God. Bishop's. First ladies of Bishops, you'll see all kinds of Apostle Prophet. Look in the mirror, selfies smacking their lips and showing their feet showing their hips in the breast, everything's everywhere. But yet, in Steel.

And you are presenting to.

Who you're making your presentation to see some of these Bishops accept their wives down. Until you can present yourself.

That is constructive. That is Holy. But when these men are looking, they're not fast, they're not fascinated by your presentation. You're not giving evil in Wicked Fox because of your presentation.

Well, I'm just know you're not by virtue of your position. There's an obligation expectation. Now. You want to put your breasts all out there. So the one you marry to, but you keep that stuff in privacy because marriage is undefiled before God. Is honorably for God. Undefiled, the bedroom is undefiled. That's the belongs, in the bedroom with your husband. You do not have a right to get up and then cause your brother to stumble. I feel as though that you're some kind of pornstar.

You know in these months correct it and set the women straight and then these deacons and Elders need to straighten his brothers out. You know what that's called engaging. Yes. We're in pursuit of holiness.

What? We're in pursuit of holiness. Mean, we're trying to be like him. You know, what it, what can you imagine? Jesus wear some tights and his stuff is just all out there in the front and it's all tight and he's showing off his. Can you imagine him doing that? And making me sisters? Can you imagine? Oh you can imagine that. So why do you think you can do it?

And God's not accepting this mess. They would do it and we see it in the World season of the world. They don't have gone and it takes a week and feet the feeble and fickle mind to even put your stuff out like that. There's no honor. You don't even respect yourself that you out there project projecting your mind. I don't see anybody up there. No talk in applied math and physics and stuff like that, bellavance and something intellectual to the lowest form of communication.

Nothing, that's instinct to mow. Every animal can do that every animal puts off that chemical set. It is always for the same objective procreation. So while you are out there and you ain't got to go on my Facebook and give me no nasty things cuz I ain't trying to hear that anyway, and they match and talk to me, face-to-face and I rebuke you in your face and I'll tell you what, scripture, you can travel with, hopefully, it'll help you get delivered cuz you need to get delivered from yourself. And we need to start talking that way because we left the church just a month. If the church is horrible. It is messed up. We are all or nothing. We use the same language of the world use because we think by us talkin that way, we're going to add to the church. It's the Holy Spirit to ask to the church such as we sit and should be safe. That's why we got. So that's why we got so many pedophiles in the church.

You don't have to be.

So, you can get rich.

And not conform, not get twisted in our own mind, but we must transform. So there is no transformation. There's conform conforming. So you not transform?

Dating a trans woman. I'm stop there. We can pick it back up. If you're not transform, our Transform Me.

Then you are coming for me. Boba partisan. Amen. Gold uses the verb action. Meaning that you are continually in that states, you're going in that direction. So either you're transforming, are you coming for me? The Bible says, don't confirm it says but transform. Then we'll pick it up later. Maybe a little busy. You know, how do you know if he is unction you via the Holy Spirit to engage so that you can transform, you know, he's not. If he still touching, if he's still appeal, if he still causes you, to feel a sense of regret remorse, shame when, you know, you missed it. He's not done there, still hope. There's Redemption that still available. He desires to deliver. So that he can use. Because we are called upon to engage. When you present yourself a Living Sacrifice. Holy and acceptable unto God. He's the nucleus. He's the bank, everything you do, you do in the context of Pleasing. Living a life, that's pleasing. And anyone who would suggest that something's wrong with that. You don't even honor your mother and father. Because the first thing we learned as we're children is just do things that are pleasing to our mom that were pleasing to our father. So this is not a foreign concept. When you get a job, you want favor with that box? What do you do things that are fleas?

I'm looking for any type of favor or notoriety or attention. You do things in your mind that you think are acceptable and each of those two words require mine change.

You are making a decision. But it's one of compromise you choose, not to engage. You don't understand that. That's a form of compromise your fighting against the truth. You know, that's in you consciously and that can't lead to any type of Victory. It means to Conformity that everyday. Doll powerless. No consequence, significance are impacted all lights. And you think you can buy your way in by even giving tithes? Or even be on time because some of us do that don't we? We feel guilty. So let's just, you know, I don't go to church all the time. But when I go I'll give a good offering to get the stop my back or even when you tied for me. It's a sign of my faith in God, you are responsible for giving me this. You've blessed me with this. This is my son of showing you that only my gratitude but my faith that you will continue.

This isn't going to be my last. This is continual because you've been continual in your blessings.

It's a practice of my faith. Because he's the center. And when you do that. Woodley to transformation, It's almost like I can hear the Prophet Elijah said, how long will you go home T between two opinions, if bale garden for Chappelle, but it's God is God worship Him. Stop trying to live. In two different worlds and remember God's not done. We pray that something was said or done. That was a blessing. Do you want today? And I look forward to next week when we talked about be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that he may prove. What is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God until then be blessed.
