The Blessed Hope (Part 2) 7/5/25

* got some of the best people in the whole world. Amen. In this ministry. So glad to see Sister Jamie and Sister Francis's home with us. Welcome back to headquarters. Amen. That's a long trip from Pennsylvania here. Takes a lot of effort. I appreciate y'all so much. Amen. We're picking up on part two of the sermon I started last weekend called the blessed hope. * I I want to preach to you today the blessed hope or the big hoax. All of my life I grew up being told that the blessed hope was the rapture of the church. how we would bypass tribulation and get out of here any day now. And that was the blessed hope. But I think it's the big hoax. Amen. * I'm going to teach you today what the blessed hope is of the church. Amen. Let's turn back to Philippians chapter 3 before I read it. Uh oh. Did you erase my That's all right. I'm trying to memorize it now. Since it's not up here, there's how many resurrections? Two. Two. Resurrection number one. Resurrection number two. When does this resurrection happen? At the beginning of the seventh day. That's right. * This one happens at the end of the seventh day. Amen. Or and how many years is in between these two? 1,000 years. Who's coming up in this second resurrection? The church and the sinners. The just. They come up after the millennial reign. I was in the church 40 years. Nobody ever taught me about this millennial reign. Me neither. * There is another resurrection. In every instance in the New Testament when the word resurrection is spoken, it's the Greek word what? Where's y'all's notes from last week? Where's my notetakers? What's the Greek word? Oh my the X is coming over here. Yeah. and stasia acasia. Now, all of the other resurrection verses use that Greek word. * There's only one time, one time, huh? One time, and it's the X, Anastasia. And that's because this means a resurrection out or away from this resurrection. And Paul said, "I know I'll make this resurrection, but I don't know if I'll make this resurrection." Brothers and sisters, if you grew up in the church I grew up in, your only desire every testimony service was this. * Y'all pray I make heaven my home. That's all we wanted. We just wanted to be saved and just y'all pray I make it in. That was it. that this was our blessed hope because that's when you come before the great white judgment. And yet the whole time the reason we lived like the devil in the shadows [Music] is because everybody is going in this resurrection. * We were we had the Holy Ghost. We were saved. And the whole time we were missing out on what Paul taught. Paul said, "I desire," he said, "I don't know if I'll get it, but I desire that better resurrection." And this is the better resurrection. And not every saved person or Holy Ghost fil person is going in that resurrection. Only the 144,000. * only those that have been counted worthy. You don't have to be worthy of this one. Everybody that's been baptized, everybody that's been saved, everybody blah blah, they all coming up together. You will earn that resurrection. And listen to me, what will keep you out of that resurrection is one ounce of rebellion in your heart. One ounce. * One, one ounce will keep it. That's why I preach it so hard here. People, they get tired of hearing me talk about it. It is our message. You have got to get rebellion to the word, rebellion to truth, rebellion to authority, rebellion to the teachings out of your heart, rebellion against your husbands, rebellion against your pastor, your employers, rebellion in your hearts will keep you out of that resurrection because God hates rebellion. * It's what started all of sin was rebellion. And it hides in every heart in this room. How many of you ever see it poking its head out sometime? Amen. Your job is to press. Philippians chapter 3. Thank you, Father. We're going to start at verse 13. Brothers, I do not know if I will make the first resurrection. Paul said, I do not consider myself as having taken a hold of what? It But here's what I'm going to do. * Everything that was a part of me that's not like Christ, I'm going to forget those things. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. He said, "I don't know if I'm going to make it, but here's what I'm going to do to try to make it. I'm going to forget those things which are behind. What things are behind, Sister Pat? Anything that was behind you before you began being transformed into the image of Yeshua, the Messiah, you have to forget those things. * And what do you have to do? reach forward to those things which are ahead. Verse 14, I press toward the mark for the prize of the what calling? Look, children, I'm going to let you sit down. I'm gonna be up here for two hours. You can stand for a minute. We don't come here for sermonetses. We come for truth. He said, "I know I don't have to press for the calling. This many are called. * This is the calling." If I got saved, I'm coming up. I'm there. If I whether I'm Baptist, Pentecostal, what or whatever I am, I'm coming up right here. Amen. He said, 'I don't know if I'm coming up here or not, but here's what I'll do. I'm going to have to find a way to forget who I am, [Music] you ever heard people say, when I watch wives rebel against their husbands and they say, "That's my personality. * " You got to forget your personality. That's right. When I see people walking and saying when they're hurting people's feelings or they're and they're like, "That's my personality." You better forget who you are. You better forget your personality. If it don't line up with the personality of Yesua, the Messiah. * forget those things that are behind the new you and press toward the mark of not the calling but the high calling. Hallelujah. If you don't know this message, you'll never overcome cuz there's nothing you don't have a mark. The message is what overcomes us. That's Listen, if you don't listen, I heard an old saying. I heard an old old saying, if you want to miss the mark, just don't have a mark. * The message is the mark. You got to have a mark that you're pressing for. You can be seated. Thank you, Father. Help your servant today, Lord. Help your people to hear what your servant's saying. Oh, anoint the lips of the unprofitable servant today. Oh Lord, I'm but your vessel, but may your word be like a lion in my mouth. * May your truth convict us all that we can forget those things that are not you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Brothers and sisters, I've often said it and I I understand what you mean by it, but I've often said, "I can't wait to get to heaven and just sit down with the Apostle Paul and just ask him how he made it over. * How did you survive what you went through?" But I fully believe today, and I'm not trying to be grandiose or braggadocious, but I believe it's Paul that's going to want to talk to me and you and ask us how we made it in this hour, in the darkest hour the church and the world has ever known. You, if you're in this room today, you have been called to the darkest hour in the history of the world to live for God. * Yes, sir. When I hear preachers lie about an end time revival, I've never understood where they got it from. Because Yeshua himself said, "When I return, will there be any faith even left in the world?" That day he was talking about, Sister Pat, is your day. I really want you all to hear me today. Do you know how lucky you are? No, not how blessed you are to have faith. * It's a blessing. This world don't have it. You're sitting here today with faith. It is a gift from God. And the darkest hour we've ever We've never lived in a day where the world hated God. Even in the old days when people didn't go to church, they still would take their hat off if they walked in the church or if they if they was cussing and the preacher come they would at least stop cussing. * People don't care no more. It's a dark world. People I remember when I was a child they was people didn't even go to church would bring their tithes to pastor brother Terrell. They didn't go to church but they had a fear of God. They wanted to support the work of God. No matter. But now, now it's a dark world. You have been called to overcome the hardest time even Paul had to endure. Amen. Yes, sir. * If you will realize that today, you will start digging into this message because many of you are, if you don't make that mark, if you don't set your mark, you won't make your mark. You've got to set your mark. And what is the mark? Forgetting who I am and becoming who he is. Now, in order to do that, you're going to have to forget some things. * You know, that part of you that likes to tell people off. That part that likes to get revenge. That part that likes to get around and run one another down. I I I see that's my mark. Number one is my mark. And there's only one man that ever reached that mark. Yes, the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Yeah. * And according to the word, he's the mark. And I got to find my mark so I can press toward the mark. Amen. Hallelujah. Yes, sir. I've got to be transformed from where I started. And how do I do it? By the process of submission. Glory to glory. step by step, victory by victory, until I arrive at the blessed hope. Hallelujah. You have to forget not the things. * That word's not a good translation. You're the thing. That's right. I mean, think about it. He's not telling you to forget everything you know, right? He's saying, "Forget you." Forget my agenda. Forget my agenda. Forget you. Forget Justina was the woman that used to live before we put her in the water. How you understand? You got to forget Justina. * Hallelujah. [Music] Hallelujah. The only thing that's behind you is you. [Applause] You left it behind in the water. And now when you come out of the water, there's a mark. There's a mark. And every day, if you don't have a pastor or a teacher that'll keep that mark in front of your eyes, you will slack up on the mark. * My job is to be in your face, in your crawl, to drive you insane, to never let you forget the mark [Music] of the high calling. Amen. That's why I go in the kitchen and I watch the women as they work. I'm seeing who's sitting there pouting cuz they working harder than the other sister. No, I'm looking. * Why? So I can get up and preach to you. So I can tell you, you missing the mark. Yes who worked the hardest. He He didn't care if he worked the hardest. There's a mark we've got to strive for. Hallelujah. Amen. Brothers and sisters, we're getting so close to the coming of the Lord and the first resurrection that if I I want to ask you a question. * How many TV preachers, how many preachers know anything about this mark of the first resurrection? And that is why people are not going to make it because they were taught come get saved, get baptized, get the Holy Ghost. Okay, I did that. Next. Well, there is no next. Get get Oh, so just go to heaven. * Well, then if if I'm coming up here just to go to heaven, why don't you just go out take a sledgehammer, go ahead and knock me out in the altar and send me on to heaven. What's the point? No, no, no. This is the point. That's the mark. What's the point? That's the point. Strive for it. Grow into it. Grow into the mark. Hallelujah. * We've entered the final hour, the changing of the ages. We of all saints in history have been called to live in the darkest hour of the world. There is a drought in our land of the hearing of the word of God. I walk in churches today and they will spend two hours singing and 30 minutes preaching here. * Wherever you go worship, I'm on double preaching. We got a mark to get to. We got a mark to get to. Amen. The great change that is coming on the world is among us. Change always produces fear, anxiety. Let me tell you why everybody you know is taking Xanax. There's anxiety in our world. There's fear of tomorrow. You know, as Professor Toto, my other persona, I get emails every day from people, MAGA patriots, and every day I'm I'm getting the videos of the next horrible thing that's going to happen. * How many of you remember my show two weeks ago when I played the video for you? Just a few minutes of it about what was coming on July the 4th. Anybody remember? Nobody remember. You do? I had good people that believe that. They believe the world was they were that the queue drops and everything. Uh, one of my good friends who's a podcaster spent two hours on his show playing that video, getting everybody worked up and July 4th and uh, what was going to happen and I told everybody I said it ain't going to happen. * I look to everybody telling me I'm crazy. Oh yeah, this come from Q. I don't care if it come from X, Y, or Z. I know the timeline and I know it ain't time. I know how to read the word of God, not your tea leaves. And so July 4th rolled around and here we are. For the last four years, people have been under so much fear. * Fear. I'll never forget when Trump lost the election. So-called the fear of our nation, our patriots. We're not dumb. We know it was stolen. We're not dumb. You can't untell us that, dummy. We're not dumb. We know what happened. Mail imbalance. We But but you see, there's a reason we didn't have to cause a stir because we know that anything that happens, God allows it to happen. * And I told my audience four years ago, he'll be back in 2024. The lion will roar in 24. How did I know that? From the word of the Lord. Therefore, I never the day before the election this year. Last year, everybody was sending me private messages. You want to take it back? You still got time to take it back. * You could tell people the elections tomorrow. I went live on the day before the election. I said, "Look in these eyeballs." I said, "There's no fear here that he's going to lose. I know he's going to win because I know the word of God. It's a sure foundation. [Music] And therefore, I never live in fear ever. I worry about nothing because in the worst thing in the world happened to me, God allowed it. * And when I give him the glory, I keep right on trucking towards the mark. President Trump is God's demolition man. And I'm fixing to give you a revelation today. I knew that he was God's demolition man when he removed the house of Ahab and Jezebel in 2016. That would be Bill and Hillary Clinton. They had ruled the house of Israel. America is the house of Israel. * They had ruled the house of Israel and had all power. Nobody could defeat Hillary Clinton. Nobody could defeat a Clinton machine. Nobody. Except the demolition man. [Music] God raised him up to take Jezebel off the throne. And then in his second term now, it's becoming increasingly clear to me every day that he's doing something now worse than Jezebel. * I believe that God has raised up Donald Trump to bring down mystery Babylon. I truly believe it with all my heart. He's a wrecking ball to the whole world. I want to tell you Donald Trump is not just the president of America. He is the president of the world. That's right. There is something happening in the world today because of this man. God has sent him. * Number one, he caused that bullet to go right by his ear because he had already raised him up to precipitate the fall of the world empires and the coming together of the end times. And when I saw that, when God spoke to me four years ago, he said, "Your new ministry is to support Donald Trump. And I didn't even like Donald Trump. * I didn't vote for Donald Trump. I voted for Ted Cruz. I thought Trump was a vain, egotistical, potty mouth, womanizing everything I don't believe in. And he still is. But so was King David. And God said, "If you fight for David, you're fighting for me. It don't get no worse than cheating on a wife, a man's wife, and then killing the husband. * Don't get no worse. I I can take a potty mouth compared to that. And God said, "Anybody that blesses David, I'll bless you." God spoke to me and said, "If you'll stand up for President Trump, I'll vindicate you in front of all the people, but you've got to declare his return for my will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. * " And for four years, we were one of the few voices that stayed consistent with that message. But I'm telling you why tonight. I didn't know why, but I believe Donald Trump is God's demolition man for the world order. Hallelujah. For the world or tariffs and trade have always been the tool to disrupt the world order. * Hallelujah. Don't mix politics and religion, you poor dummy. You poor poor poor dummy. God himself is involved with politics. It's God that put David on the throne. It's God that put Solomon on the throne. That is politics. Why? Because he's moving the nations. I've never met a a more stupid statement in my life than to believe that God sent prophets to the kings of all the nations if he didn't care about politics. * When did that God change? They preach God never changes. I agree. That's right. And God raised this man up and made him rise up because he has no fear. You can't bind him. He has no fear. However, listen to me carefully. Everything related to Donald Trump in his second two years, it's not going to be what you think. * He's about to affect the world. Not in a good way. Babylon's fixing to fall. Hallelujah. He's making decisions right now that's going to turn the world out of order. Yes, sir. God sent him for this moment. There's about to be Why? If you're going to realign Russia with China, The kings of the east in the book of revelation before Donald Trump, Russia and China are enemies. Now they're friends. * Germany, which is going to be the leopard in the book of Daniel, Germany was dead. You never heard from Germany. Here comes Donald Trump and suddenly Germany, it's in the headlines, has built nuclear warheads because of one man. Donald Trump, the demolition man. He is about to make the way for the new world order. * Not that new world order, the new world order. The world's changing, children, because you and I are living in the moment. God spoke to me all night last night and said, "Don't be discouraged when you see some of the tariffs and some of the things starting to go squirly." He said, "I'm realigning the chessboard." tariffs is going to make strange bed fellows out of some nations. * Why? It's all got to line up now. Germany, that's why I told every one of you, two years ago, you can go look on my Facebook timeline. Russia had just invaded Ukraine. I went on my timeline. I said, "Next." watch Israel and Iran. Two years ago, I told you that. And then when they looked like a month ago was about to start the third world war, I told you it's not happening. * It's not time. Why did I know that? Cuz Germany is not in place. I know the word. So I have no fear. They was freaking out. Oh, it's about to be a third world war. I said, "No, it's not. Germany's not ready." And the next day, the headlines, Germany acquiring nuclear weapons. They're getting in place. And Iran, oh, Mr. Trump, no. * Iran's not defeated, my dear brother. Oh, no. You delayed them, but you didn't defeat them. And but God caused you to delay them. so they would not prematurely start the Third World War. See, God's involved in all of it and every bit of it. He's a demolition man. And how do I know all this this this purple book? It's all in there. * But because your church is so busy preaching on stuff that don't matter, you walk around in fear. You don't have to be afraid. We're we're approaching an inflection point. I've never seen a time when people are more afraid. Yesterday, my inbox, people thinking they're going to lose their social security. Listen to me. * Ain't none of you going to lose your social security. Here's the only people going to lose them. People that was never supposed to have it. That's it. You You just heard the truth. Look, darling, let me tell you something. If I go to Wall World, Walmart, and I go steal me a chocolate bunny rabbit, and I bring it home, okay, and the popo comes and knocks on my door and takes my chocolate bunny rabbit. * I didn't lose that bunny rabbit. It wasn't mine. [Music] So if you've been scamming the system, telling them you got a hurt back when it didn't stop you from doing the boot scoot boogie last night, you're about to lose your social security. Why? Demolition man's in town. We're going to lose food stamps. No, no, no. * Big behind fat lazy men that won't works about to lose their food stamps. You understand? Right. Lazy. Yeah. Demolition man's coming for you. You're going to have to put down the Xbox and pick up a shovel. You ain't going to get no more pancakes. But you didn't lose them. You was never supposed to have them. And then if it would have been this way the whole time, we wouldn't be this many trillion dollars in debt. That's right. * Demolition man's coming. That's right. He's here. Right on time. Right on time. Always on time. There is an upset to the old order happening all around you. Just as America, Yesterday we celebrated Independence Day. Just as America is a foreshadow of independence coming to the whole world, God gave me these words. * So, Donald Trump is a foreshadow of all the wrecking balls that are coming to destroy the old world order and to make the world great again. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. The natural man is a man of flesh and fear. And we're all enslaved by one thing, the unknown. If you want your stomach to get knots, go into a courtroom. * You want to talk about fear when you don't know how that thing's going to turn out? the unknown. You want to know fear when the doctor calls and said, "We just got your results back. You need to come on up here and let's talk." That's the unknown. We're all afraid of the unknown. You listen to me. If you're bound by the spirit of fear, you don't need a prayer line. * You don't need anointing oil. You don't need nobody to lay hands on you. You need to come out of the realm of the unknown and you need to know the realm of the unknown is what terrifies people. The future bewilders us. Tomorrow intimidates us. We clutch for control because we're terrified of trust. Amen. We're terrified of trust. * You listen to me. When you find a controlling person, it's because they're terrified of trust. They can't trust. But I declare to you tonight, there is another kind of people walking on this earth today. There are people not ruled by fear. Not tossed by the waves. They're not stumbling in the dark. They're children of the feast. * They keep the appointed times of Yahweh. They're never caught off guard. They are on Yahweh's calendar. They don't guess about what's coming. They know the season and the signs. [Music] These people are a strange lot. They have no denomination that they're part of. They're just watchers on the wall. That's right. * They're the keepers of God's secrets. And they're in this building today and in this Zoom class. They are the stewards of the schedule. If this side over here wake up, we do all right. They are the stewards of the schedule. And if you've got the schedule, you cannot be scared. [Music] [Music] I watch people come. Uhhuh. I watch people come to the Feast of Tabernacles. * Where's the agenda? They're scared to death. What we going to do tomorrow? I'm like, just show up for whatever we're doing. They want an agenda. They want to know what we do. We doing whatever Pastor Von says we're doing. That's what we're doing. You don't need just walk in the schedule of the spirit and you'll never walk in fear ever. * [Music] These people I'm talking about are watchmen of the timeline because they keep the feast days. Every Christian church, do you know why they don't know what time it is? They too busy keeping Christmas and Easter and Valentine's Day and the fake New Year. They don't keep the Bible holidays. * Therefore, they do not know the schedule. You won't learn one thing about God celebrating Christmas or Easter. But if you want to know about him, keep Passover, keep Pentecost, keep tabernacles, and all fear will leave your life. All fear. Because you've been rehearsing all year long, what's next? While the church is partying in Babylon, listen to this carefully. * While the church is partying in Babylon, you know what's so funny? We celebrating the birth of Christ at Christmas. Baby, I was at your Christmas party. Y'all had more booze at that party than you had all year long. Bunch of liars. You ain't worried about the birth of Christ. It's all lies. * We tell our people, "Let's go to church and learn the truth." And the first thing we teach them is that rabbits lay eggs every Easter. Let's go find some eggs. The rabbit laid. Why you rabbits don't lay no egg. Bunch of liars. And then you tell them that there's a man up above got a list checking it twice. He knows who's naughty or nice. * He sees you when you're sleeping. I thought that was God that did all that. I thought that was Yahweh. You turn Santa Claus into the same thing as my God. He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're That fat man don't know nothing but cookies. This is what we teach our children and wonder why the whole church is on Xanax. * Because they don't know what's coming next. They're waiting on a rapture. And the Bible, I give anybody, there ain't no rapture in your Bible. Nowhere. God's never raptured his people out of trouble. Ancient Israel, he's sending down plagues. He didn't rapture them. He gave them strength to endure. Hallelujah. * Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. That's not the blessed hope. That's the blessed hulk and it'll get your eyes off the mark. While other people make fun of us for the manora and the tites and saying Yahweh and Yeshua, they'll drag Christmas trees and put them on the platform in their church. Bunch of pagans. * have a Easter egg hunt, but you make fun of us because do you know every every holiday I keep, I can point to a scripture that commands me to keep it. Can you do the same? So before you make fun of me, you might want to do your homework cuz I'm coming at you with two barrels of truth. God said, "My people are to keep my holy days forever. * " Hallelujah. Why? because they are the schedule. Hallelujah. In the darkest hour at midnight when confusion is gripping the world, I know one people not scrambling. We're not not sleeping. We don't need sleeping pills. Oh no. The only people that needs a sleeping pill is the people that don't know what tomorrow holds. * They're afraid to face tomorrow. Ain't not one of God's children ought to have to take a sleeping pill. The Bible said the the righteous man, his sleep comes easy. Hallelujah. Oh, but the wicked, the Bible said the wicked are like a troubled sea. They run when ain't nobody even chasing them. Scared to death cuz something they did they know is going to catch up with them eventually. * It always they always running from themselves. But if you live a holy life, you'll lay your head down to sleep at night with no worry of tomorrow because you already know what's on the schedule. When you living in the world, somebody knock on the door, you tell all the children, "Hi, take the dog choking it sort of quit barking. * That's the wicked's like a troubled sea foaming at the mouth. But I know a people. We know what tomorrow holds. Do you know why we know? Cuz we bought our oil in advance. We bought our oil way way before the midnight hour. Way before the midnight hour. We bought some oil. We found out the schedule in advance. * [Music] Fa fear is the default of fallen men, but faith is the default of the remnant. Fear says, "I don't know what's coming." Faith says, "I've been rehearsing it every year." I'll try that again. Fear says, "I don't know what's coming." Faith says, "I've been rehearsing what's coming every year." Hallelujah. * Fear says, "What if?" Faith says, "He's already told us." Those that keep the feast are not guessing at the timeline. They are the timeline. I think I'll say that again. Those that keep the feast are not guessing the timeline. They are the timeline. Just watch them every year. There's your timeline. And that's why Satan hates you because you are God's timeline. * You show up and rehearse it seven times a year and once every week. Yes, sir. Do y'all know what we're here for today? Come on. We're not here to have church. We're here to rehearse the seventh day. That's why in this church, we don't let nobody sit down while we shouting. We all shout together or nobody shouts. We all run together or nobody runs. * Why? Because somebody told me one time, when we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be. When we all see Jesus, we will shout. Okay? You really believe that you can rehearse it every Sabbath day because when you came and heard this word preach today, you saw Jesus. Yeah. What do you mean? When you see Jesus, that's him right there. And you saw him. * You're rehearsing. That's why you're not going to shout then. You don't shout now. Hallelujah. You are the timeline. We have a kingdom vision. We're not trying to escape. We're trying to build and bring heaven to earth. We're not motivated by fear. We walk in faith. We're not looking for the Antichrist or preaching about the Antichrist. * We look for Christ and preach Christ and him crucified. Hallelujah. Those that know the divine plan are ahead of time will weather this coming storm. Wise virgin, you got to buy your oil early. And do you know what the oil is? Thy word is a lamp to my feet. It's the light to my p. You better buy the truth early and don't ever sell it ever. * Tell your neighbor, the man that aims at nothing usually hits it. [Music] If you're aiming at nothing, you can't miss. That's why when people tell me, "Well, God knows I'm not perfect. quit. Shut up. That's your excuse. Well, that's just the way I am. Darling, you're already aiming at nothing. You made it. You didn't miss. That's right. * You aimed at nothing. You just aimed at being saved. There's no mark. Therefore, your life keeps going in circles. Yeah, you keep getting tired of church because nobody's teaching you anything. You're doing the same stuff. Praise pray the same person through every revival, same shouts. It's a nothing growing in you cuz you don't have a mark. * Forget about the mark of the beast. Find the mark of the best. Find the mark of the best. [Music] Aim for it. Shoot for it. We're so busy looking for the mark of the beast, we forgot the mark of the best. Hallelujah. I'm going to try to close if you'll sit down. I want to ask you today, do you have an aim? He said he had set this goal before him. * That's what Paul said. To obtain this goal, he was willing to count everything as loss and expend everything on one thing that he might hit the mark. Win the prize. That was Paul's goal. What should ours be? The problem of the modern Christian church. Listen carefully. This is their mark and they hit it. The only thing you have to do to go in this mark, repent, be baptized, you're in. * You're in like Flynn. There's no mark there. But there is an out resurrection. That's the high calling of God. His name is Yeshua, Jesus. He is that mark. You got to have the mark. What would it be? I want to ask all of you a question. We were always told why we couldn't live like Christ. Because I'm just a human. * But yet we go to church the next service and they tell us we can do all things through Christ. Well, which is it? You just said, "I can't be holy." But you just said, "With God, nothing's impossible." But now that's impossible. Bunch of bull is what it is. Cuz let me tell you something. When the mark fills you, the Holy Ghost, and he moves into that mind, he brought the mark right to you. * All you got to do is align with what's already in there. Submit to what's there. You don't have to go to the mark. The mark comes to you. You just have to forget what's behind you and just line up with the mark. You don't have to chase the mark. You simply let the mark fill you. That's it. [Music] I'll show you the mark. Are you ready? Someone hurt you. * I've got enemies all over this country. I besides Donald Trump, I may be the most hated man. Go check Facebook. They hate me. Now watch this. There is a man called Shang Von. That man is a computer whiz. There's a side of me they've never met. I could eviscerate. I know how to create fake profiles and do the same thing. * But better. There's an old man, Shang Vaughon, that can go live with the push of a button and get 20,000 eyeballs and defend myself. Yeah. But there's a mark in me that says, "Forgive them. They know not what they do." The mark is in me, and I just forgot who was behind me and lined up with the mark. You don't have to find the mark. * It found you. You just got to forget you and find the park. As I leave you today, God has given his children many blessings simply because they belong to him. It's like a natural family here on earth. I want to break it down for you. My sons, all three of my sons are my children. They get some blessings just for being my children. * I'll name a few blessings. They can request a cash app when you can't. Amen. They can walk in my house when I'm in my boxers. Amen. You can. They can eat at my table anytime, night or day. You can't. You could if you was hungry, but you get the point. They don't have to work for that. They're my children. They don't have to earn that. * They're my children. They were born again, if you will. They were born of my blood. Amen. They get natural blessings from being that they can sleep in my home. They can ride in my car. They can drive my car. Not because they earned it, but because they're my sons. In the same way, God's children, every one of them, everyone that is saved, everyone that has come to God, by virtue of them being a child of God, they all get a free blessing. * Just because they're a child of God, they get a free blessing. However, however, even though my sons receive many blessings just because they're part of my family, there are some things they cannot have just because they're my children. For example, brother Nick, which one of them perhaps could be a great professional athlete, but not because he's my child, but because he earned it. * Some of them could become a famous musician. Not because they're my child. They work for it. [Applause] They could be successful business leaders not because they're my child. That they have to earn. Hallelujah. One could be the president of the United States, not because he's my child, but because he earned it, he overcame it. * Those positions don't come automatically because of grace, this comes free. Gift of grace. Nothing you can do to earn it. But this that don't come by grace. That comes by works. You can't be a president just because your father's important. You have to meet certain requirements, overcome certain obstacles in your life. God said, "Just because you're my child, you're going to get the following: forgiveness of your sins. * " The Holy Ghost, all free. Answered prayers, all free. Provision for your needs, all free. Healing, health, all free. Eternal life, free. But there are higher callings in God. the high call, levels of glory to glory to glory to glory. A closeness with him that is not automatically yours. That'll come from a life of prayer, dedication, fasting, faithfulness, ultimate sacrifices, deep suffering without complaining, going without without wondering why, serious discipline, full submission. * And that's what Paul said. I don't claim to have reached that. But here's my plan. I'm going to forget Paul and line up with the mark. [Applause] This is my third and final closing. Honey, if you want to walk towards the piano and give them hope, just don't start playing yet. That means I'm almost done. * Y'all can breathe. I want to read you a final verse of scripture about the blessed hope. I want to Don't play yet because then I'll really start closing. I'll give you the signal in just a minute. Titus chapter 2. I used to love it when I was a boy and my grandma would go to the piano. Brother Ter was almost done then. [Laughter] When they would say, "Would the musicians come?" I'm like, "Yes, we're fixing to go eat." Hallelujah. * Amen. Let's turn to the book of Titus. And I'm closing. I want to read you a scripture that's going to change what you believe about the blessed hope. How many of you all your life, what did you think the blessed hope was? Somebody tell me the blessed hope of the church. What was the blessed hope? The rapture of the church. Okay. * When the Lord comes back, let's read Titus 2 and 13. expecting the blessed hope and the appearance of our Lord. I noticed something when I read that the blessed hope is totally separate from the appearing of the Lord. The blessed hope has to come first and then the appearing of the Lord. Hallelujah. And I said, Lord, what is the blessed hope? The Bible tells us what it is. * First John 3. Let's go read 1 John 3 and verse two. I'm going to show you the blessed hope of the church. 1 John chapter 3 verse two. Beloved, yes, we are the children of Yahweh. But it has not yet been revealed what we will be. But we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him and then we will see him as he is. * And everyone that has this blessed hope purifies himself just as Yesua is pure. The blessed hope is not the coming of the Lord. The blessed hope is the becoming like the Lord until you see the Lord. Amen. Calling me. Let's all stand. Hallelujah. Praise to Stand upon the mountain and magnify his name. to tell all the people, every nation that he reigns. * Zion is calling me to a higher place of praise. [Music] So, pastor said last week and we spoke personally about a school of prophets on January 1st. The Lord spoke to me and have never had it happen ever. And he said about Donald Trump and he said, "I want you to go give this message." He is the Cyrus who will take down Babylon. * Amen. Wow. January 1st. Wow. And for 18 days before Tik Tok shut down for 24 hours, I preached that message every single day. And I didn't fully understand it, but I knew it was mystery Babylon, right? And pastor just confirmed it. and the word of God. Oh, praise Yahweh. Praise. And I said it would be in July of this year if you can prove me wrong. * I said on Tik Tok, I said in July, come and tell me that I'm a false prophet. And pastor just prophesied the word crawling to a higher place of praise. to stand upon the mountain and magnify his name. Tell all the people. Tell all the people. Every nation, every nation that he reigns. Zion is calling. Zion is calling you to a high place of praise. * The blessed hope is not the coming of Christ. It's the becoming of Christ. That should be your mark. That should be your hope to become what you shall be. The Bible said when he finally does come, we will already be like him. That's the blessed hope that we are becoming what we shall be. My wife's going to sing it again while Bishop Kendrick comes [Music] to a higher place of praise to stand on the mountain and magnify his name. * I'm going to tell all the people, every nation that he reigns. Zion is calling me to a higher place of praise. [Music] Hallelujah. As the song says, I have hope. I have hope. Yes. since Yeshua came my way. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. That's our hope. That's the blessed hope. That's the blessed hope. Sing that, sister. * Oh, yes. I have a hope. When troubles come my way, I have hope. Oh yeah. Yesu has come to stay. I have hope. Oh yes. When things are not right with me. I am hope. It's a beautiful home that sets me free. Hallelujah. The darkest night is just before the dawn, but the hardest fight. I know it is just to keep holding on when you get weary. * When you get weary and each hill seems hard for you to climb, don't give it up. Don't ever doubt. The Lord will be on time. I have hope. When trouble come my way, I have hope. Oh yeah. To just who I has to say. I have hope. Oh, when things are not right with me. I am hope. Just a beautiful hope that sets me free. * [Music] Hallelujah. Blessed hope. I have hope since he come my way. Amen. He could have done all of the things, creative things, but he came my way. Hallelujah. I have hope when I allowed him his presence in my life. Amen. Hallelujah. And that brought me the hope our pastor's ministering to us today about. That is the hope. * That is the hope. Hallelujah. Content he come my way. Hallelujah. I'm thankful that he came my way. Hallelujah. Woo. Hallelujah. And all of the things of this world that we can get involved in in our lives that had so many different directions, but to for him to come into our presence. Yes, sir. Into our lives. Yes. Amen. * He came our way. Amen. that we allowed that. Hallelujah. That we accepted him to know who he is. Amen. And his divine purpose in our life isn't just a little temporal blessing, but it's an eternal blessing. Hallelujah. He came my way. Hallelujah. And I accept it. I acknowledge and I know that who he is. Yes, sir. Hallelujah. * And I accept him into my life that he could lead me home. Hallelujah. And we're led each day. And and once he comes in, it's an everyday affair. Hallelujah. It's not one of once a year or once whatever, but it's every day. Every day. Thank the Lord. That's what keeps us inspired. That what keeps us lifted up. Amen. * Hallelujah. If you see me after tomorrow, I'm going to be like I am today. Absolutely. Hallelujah. No change. No change. He wants people that that have a stand. Hallelujah. A standard that hold fast to him. That's right. Because he don't change. No. Hallelujah. But when he comes in, he's leading you home. He's got a purpose. * Woo! Hallelujah. I have hope. Such a beautiful home that sets me free. Yeah. Sing the darkest night. The darkest night is just before the dawn. The hardest night. The hardest fight you will know is just to keep holding on. When you get weary, when you get weary now and each hill seems hard for you to climb, just keep the faith. Don't ever doubt. * Yahe will be on time. I have hope. Yes, I have hope. Shall come my way. I have hope. Oh, shu has come to stand. I have hope. [Music] when things are not right with me. Oh, it's a beautiful home that sets free. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. When we're having a lot lot of battle or a battle in life, it looks like you be almost beat down. * All of a sudden, you hear that voice, he grabs a hold of you and say, "Let me take over." Yeah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise God. I'm so thankful for the voice. Hallelujah. That we could hear it. that song that was sang earlier, we were going down for the last time. Yes, sir. I remember as a young boy, uh, I was about the sixth grade or something. * But anyway, I was swimming in the Mississippi River and I learned how to swim in the Mississippi River because that's the only swimming pool I had and it was behind my house over and so every day I'd be swimming there. But this one particular day I was swimming and I was going to swim across and that's and the undercurrent in that river it's devastating so bad during that particular time and I started I got about halfway and I started back instead of going all the way across about a mile almost and so I had and I was coming back and I got so * tired I couldn't even move my arms hardly. And I remember I just it it got to the place where I said, "Well, I'm going to give up." And it's about a 100 foot of water deep in that area. And so I said, "Well, I'm going down." And then I was going down. I heard a voice. Amen. It said go just a little further. So I was way aiming already and I started coming back up and I swam back up to the top and I went over and it wasn't far because I was so tired I couldn't move. * And I said, "Well, I'm going down now. I can't." So I stood up right then and and I was on a sandbar and I my my my my chin was above the water by as much standing on that sandbar. Wow. Amen. And he could I could have been getting he g given him time to get the sandbar made for me. Right. Right. Hallelujah. That would have been the biggest victory right there. * Hallelujah. That voice made me to go further. But I never heard the voice. I'd have kept going down the bottom of a 100 ft river. The current was taking me all the way. Amen. I was going down for the last time. Amen. But I heard a voice. Hallelujah. I'm thankful for that voice today. Thankful that he came into my life. * Thankful that he gave me faith from that particular incident. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. [Music] All right. Our children. Our beautiful children. Oh yes. We're fixing to have more children. Oh, I forgot to tell y'all. Uh tomorrow, Brother Nathan Owens and his wife are moving back home.

And and Scorpio in Hebrew is called Awok. [Music] And we made a shield because for a le Scorpio um is is in our way to stop us from believing in Yahweh and and Yahe stepped on a lot of scorions in his path. * And we can do the same thing by using the shield of faith which which is us believing in the faith of Yahweh. Yeah. We already preach Paul 9113. You will tread upon the scorpion. [Music] Amen. [Music] Wait, are we going to sing the song? Yeah. [Music] Karen, give them the This little light of mine rhythm.

Oh, look at these beautiful teenagers. Oh, yeah. So, our teacher today was Elder Connley, and um we finished uh reading the Samson book, and it was really good. I loved it. * Um and we learned today how Delilah had manipulated Samson. And we learned that Delilah represents the Babylonian church and Samson represents the end time church. Absolutely. Delilah represents the Babylonian church. Samson represents the end time church. We've either got to be a Samson or Delilah. We can't be like the world. The Bible says to be a separated people. * We have to look different, act different, different everything. So we're learning the story of Samson. And in the story it was saying how Delila manipulated him. She was using her body against him saying if you love me you'll tell me your secrets. And he was falling for her little by little telling us uh stuff little by little. * She was basically using lust to get to him. Amen. Delilah tried to find out the secret of Samson's great strength. She tried to manipulate Samson into revealing the secret of his strength. She also told Samson that if he loves her to join her. We learn how Delilah represents the Babylonian church. [Music] Samson kept the Nazerite vow his entire life. Delilah tried to break his vow. * Delila was Babylon mixing of Israel. Israel can't mix of error. We also learned in the end Samson while whenever he was chained to those pillars, he repented, asked for his strength back, brought down that temple building, whatever, and he ended up killing the people in it and himself, but he repented. He sacrificed himself. * Very good. Amen. That was what Let's find out what they learned in puppy school. What they learned in puppy school. this sported. Well, it's uh one of the main themes today, big city dogs. Y'all going to have to all bring your dogs. We'll give puppy school. So, today's a special day. It's a Sabbath. [Music] And it's also my wife's birthday today. * She was at the doctor's office and the the the person taking care of her said, "You don't look as old as your chart says." And she doesn't. She looks way younger than what the chart says. So, happy birthday to my beautiful wife. Where's she at? Where's she at? She's probably taking care of us in the kitchen. * Oh, yeah. That would be her. Tell her to come in here. What would you say to her? I told someone last night at the ranch, I said if I had 10 people like they going to get her bets I could save the whole world. Sister Deborah, there's nobody like her. She's a special lady. She's been a blessing to us. * Sister Deborah Beth, let's give her a god. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday. Happy birthday to you.

That's right. * We're going to start preparing to eat at 5:00 tomorrow evening. And we're going to prepare by picking all of the natural ingredients for my spaghetti, the basil, oregano. It's all out there in that rose garden at 5:00 tomorrow evening. If you can't listen, if you're not local, I don't want to see you, okay? Not our only our local folks. * We don't want anybody driving back in. We consider local 30 minutes or more or less. Local is 30 minutes. Y'all are not local. You're local to the ranch. Hallelujah. Pastor, thank you for that message. It reminds me of the days going back in my journey been together with my son. Whenever he got a hold of my heart, he changed me. I was a hard man. * I was all about self. and many times. But when he come into my life and came into my heart and took over my spirit, he's a lifecher. He takes the hardest men and gives them a heart of flesh. I can testify to that. And I thank you, Yahweh, for being a part of my life. Hallelujah. And then and and Yahweh spoke to Moses saying, "Speak unto Aon and to his sons, and this is how you shall bless the children of Israel. * So he will say to them, "Yahweh bless thee and guard thee, and Yahweh is lift up his face to counten thee, and show favor to you, and lift up his face upon thee, and give thee peace. For I shall put my name, Yahweh, upon the children of Israel, and I shall bless them." Hallelujah. Shabbat shalom. Shabbat shalom. Hold on. * We're going to pray over the food. Father, we thank you today for all your blessings. We thank you for the word of God. Thank you for the pastor that teaches us.
