* that will be headed of the elders that will be headed to Scotland we talked about that we plan to go uh maybe miday or the end of May is what we're looking at now and there are several of us that are going to bless the nation of Scotland and Ireland and Great Britain to put our feet on that soil and uh to do some work that needs to be done there so we're looking forward to that um we were blessed to go to one of the churches if you've not seen that video uh if you've not seen the video in the church where we were worshiping together * it is up on fhtv make sure you go and watch that the reason that that little church I always wondered why I was so drawn to that little congregation there in cage Cove it was the Methodist Church way back in the 1800s and the original settlers came to that area from Scotland and uh all of the settlers there were from Scotland and Ireland but primarily Scotland and uh we went to the church and that's where those original settlers worshiped and there was just such a connection to that building I've always had it and we went behind the church to * the cemetery and as I begin to look at the names in the cemetery uh we were we were led to know that these were the Lost tribes of Israel by many of the last names and one of the last names ironically that was predominant in that Cemetery was laire there were probably 20 Graves of the laire family in that cemeter cery and uh on and on and on so we knew that we were standing on Holy Ground I just knew that we were there on Holy Ground and why don't we do this sister bets why don't you go ahead and pull that up for us and * let's just before we get into tonight's lesson let's go back to that moment and uh let's play that uh for a few minutes tonight I think it's about 3 or 4 minutes

beautiful thing amen so keep them in prayer in the morning thank you all for your tithe and your offerings and your support of the church we're so very grateful we thank you all we're going to the book of First Corinthians tonight 15:45 this will be part8 of Israel 101 some of the things that I hope you have learned in this series is that Yahweh is fooling with no one at this * time but the house of Israel and you need to know that you need to understand that and comprehend that if you are sitting in this Zoom meeting tonight I give you my promise for those of you that will hold out to the end you are a Bonafide member of the House of Israel you're not a member of the House of Israel because you were saved and plac your faith in Christ it's quite the opposite you are saved and plac your faith in Christ because you're a member of the House of Israel all right uh I see some of you not either * you're going to bed early or you're not awake because let me say it again you are not a member of the House of Israel because you're saved and believed in Christ you believed in Christ because you're a member of the House of Israel Hallelujah you have to know that amen praise Yahweh we are preparing uh for Passover that is our next event it's going to be wonderful here at in Waveland Mississippi uh we are looking forward to that it's going to be a dynamic time make sure that your rooms are booked make sure that you are going to be here * Passover night is always on a Tuesday night it never changes because of a restor biblical calendar it never changes so we invite you to come and that is our spring Passover convention we go Tuesday night all day Wednesday Wednesday night uh Thursday is your free day for friends and family and fellowship and then Friday night all day Saturday and then we have a farewell service on Saturday with lunch after that so I'm so excited it's going to be a great great great week 1 Corinthians 15:45 I'm ready Elder when you are * amen and so it is written the first man Adam was made a living Soul the last Adam was made a quickening spirit who is the last Adam yua is he became something that he was not Adam became something that he was not the first Adam the first Adam before the breath of life was breathed into his body he was just a body now I know many of you in this room tonight have probably heard a teaching that's very popular in the Christian church and it says that you are Body Soul and Spirit but that is not true that there is not three parts to you * they try to use that to compare it to the Trinity Father Son and Holy Spirit many of you have been taught that you are Body Soul and Spirit but you are not you are body and spirit why is that because when your body has no breath in it whenever you die whenever they you know close your eyes and you die you will become a body again just a dead lifeless body right now you are not a body right now you are a what soul amen thank you Elder Morgan you're a soul you're a living soul breathing you are that's right you are a * nefesh the Hebrew word is nephesh what is that that mean it means that instead of a dead body or a lifeless body you're a breathing body because you're breathing you are a neesh the the the word Soul comes from that Hebrew word nefesh all right so therefore Adam became what he was not in the beginning at creation he was a lifeless body body until something was breathed into him that turned him in to a soul what was breathed into him life the breath of life so therefore Adam became something that he was not yua uh contrarywise yua the last Adam * also became something that he was not as long as he was a man walking the Earth he was not a lifegiving spirit he was a soul Hallelujah he was a flesh and blood soul but upon his resurrection he became a lifegiving spirit why because his body went down a natural body but Paul says it comes up a what spiritual amen Elder it comes up a spirit body it comes up as Spirit every one of you watching me tonight right now you are not Spirit you are flesh that which is born of flesh is flesh that which that's which is born * of spirit is amen yua was not Spirit now here's the question if yua pre-existed as we've always been taught then he would have been spirit before he became flesh but according to the scriptures he became a spirit is anybody hearing what I'm saying amen ma are you picking up what I just put down biblical proof that yua was never a spirit before his resurrection he became a spirit and guess what every one of you are going to become spirit thank y'all boy we got some tired people here tonight Lord have mercy I'm not tired Hallelujah I'm in * the word hallelujah praise God life comes into me when I open the word Hallelujah takes an old dead body and fills it with power from on high Hallelujah word of the Lord amen I don't have time to get tired Hallelujah too much work to to do amen from the Holy Ghost if the devil's not tired I'm not tired a hallelujah praise the Lord hallelujah praise your Holy Name Hallelujah now yua has become a spirit he is our pattern he is our pattern correct yes so we you and I are on the journey to becoming spirit and a lifegiving spirit * because we also will be giving life in the millennial Reign to all of the Dead those that are dead in their sins those that are dead uh uh to carnality we will give them the same life that we have been given amen now I want to show you in John chapter 20 verse 22 I want to show you the power that you and I have been given by yua how many has ever heard that the Apostles of yua received the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost can I see your hands anybody yes okay how many's been taught that the apostles received the * Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost anybody okay thank you let's read John 20 and 22 and when he had said this he breathed on them and said unto them receive ye the holy ghost that was a long time before the day of Pentecost wow amen yua breathed on his disciples and said he commanded what did he say now receive the Holy Spirit hallelujah amen they did not receive the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost what they received on the day of Pentecost was the gift of tongues they already had the Holy Spirit and look what they did not do * right there there's no record that they spoken tongues right there which proves to me the doctrine of initial evidence is a lie amen amen sir they received the Holy Spirit whenever they were commanded to receive it that's why in water baptism when I lay hands on you you will receive the Holy Spirit no matter what you do or don't do why it's a command that's received by faith not by [Music] signs yes sir you have to know that you have the Holy Spirit let me put it to you this way you'll never receive the gift of * tongues until you first receive the gift of the Holy Spirit right Hallelujah why because the holy spirit is received by faith and the Pentecostal church has turned that experience into a total display of the flesh yep we do not receive the Holy Ghost expecting any sign the Bible said this wicked generation seeks for a sign we receive the Holy Spirit by absolute Faith amen hallelujah amen the disciples here do you not believe when yua himself breathed on them you don't believe they received the Holy Spirit you believe they had to wait till * they spoke in tongues on the day of Pentecost to have the Holy Ghost get headed henceforth come on now I'm I'm working some of y'all right now you need to understand absolutely we believe in speaking in tongues absolutely the apostles all spoke in tongues absolutely but it was after they received the Holy Ghost not when they received it wow amen I'm teaching you the word now if you can get rid of your Pentecostal brain you'll hear what I'm saying to you amen you you got to learn one day to trust the word instead of the * way you were taught these AP uh brother uh brother V but the Bible says the Holy Ghost fell on the day of Pentecost it did but not for the apostles it was for the 3,000 the apostles already had it Hallelujah why because they believed when Jesus said it's yours they believed it was a free gift if you want to see one of the most pitiful sites in all the world come to a Pentecostal church and to an altar service amen where we work we work for 20 hours if you want a workout go to a Pentecostal altar oh yeah for 20 hours working you to death to speak the * music the Music's Got to Get Right the drums have got to get right the atmosphere and then by the time we get through with you honey you gonna get the Holy Ghost just to get us off of you come on Pastor that's the truth took me a month I promise you that because listen we uh we we grew up believing that people came that never spoke in tongues and when they would leave the altar of God we would tell them so sorry try again next time I was told pastor with that with my wife with her not having the baptism of the Holy Spirit praying Tong I was told * I was not equally Yol in my marriage I know that and I know what church probably told you that and you know brothers and sisters you better hear me and hear me well I know as many people filled with the Holy Ghost that's never spoken in tongues as I do ones that have trust me trust me you know how I know it it's called the fruit of the spirit that's how I know it I know tongue talkers I know tongue talkers that have never had one Fruit of the Spirit come on now go ahead the the church the um Pentecostal church that I * went to had me uh told me that I had to beg for theol Holy Spirit to be filed with the Holy Spirit I had and then I had to throw up all the Bad Evil things before I could receive the Holy Spirit that's you know that's that is what we have all been taught and um it's so sad because it it produces defeatism in people they give up they just they how can you tell people God's got a free gift for you if you stay in the altar long enough you'll get it yep I've heard it how can you tell people that uh you if you if you pray hard * enough you'll you'll finally in 20 years you might get it preach it brother amen brothers and sisters listen to me and listen well no one speaks in tongues more than me I believe that you should desire every gift of the spirit Spirit yep that's right let me tell you speaking in tongues enhances my prayer life it enhances my power with God there is a power that comes with it that every one of you should desire and seek after but the only way you can seek after it is if you know that you have the Holy Ghost already and * that you know that that gift must come to you because you already have the holy spirit amen Satan his greatest lie is that you have the Holy Ghost because you spoke in tongues brothers and sisters it is no truth to it you have the Holy Ghost because God's word said you did I got some funny looks going on out there tonight you've got the Holy Ghost because God's word said you could have it acts 2 38 repent now don't be claiming the Holy Ghost if you hadn't repented I'm talking about turned around amen I'm talking about you the * Commandments of God I'm talking about you have turned your life around and you're go you're pressing toward the Mark if you've done that the Bible said now go and be baptized in water and do it in the name of yua the Messiah for the washing away of your sins the blood don't wash your sins away did you know that oh oh man don't get me started now see you don't understand the blood is in the water do you understand what I just told you the Bible said that when yua was crucified on the cross what came out of his side was blood and * water the blood is in the water why because it is the water that literally applies that blood to your life every baby is born with blood and water when we put you in the womb of mother Church you're going to be mixed in Blood and water brothers and sisters when you are baptized in the name of yua Acts 238 makes you a promise PR and that promise is plain you shall I wish somebody would say you shall half of y'all didn't say it y'all don't think I can see y'all I can see every one of you you shall the next the rest of you you * shall thank you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost does anybody see the word tongues in there and if you speak in tongues does anybody see that anywhere if you do this no no no no no no no if you repent if you're baptized in his name you got it by faith you got it and you can know it not because your lips moved you can know it because acts 238 promised it to you and now nothing can ever take it away from you some of you think because you can't feel nothing anymore you've lost the Holy Ghost darling no no no no * no as long as you still turned around and repenting and walking on the narrow path you still have the Holy Spirit Glory you got to know you got it you've got to confess you have it you've got to declare I'm filled with the Holy Ghost hallelujah oh Hallelujah but brother V I quit I'm not speaking in tongues no more I'm not doing this anymore darling if you're still obeying the Commandments of our God you can only do that with h with the help of the Holy Ghost you got to have the Holy Ghost and it's so simple I said it's so simple to * get it brothers and sisters hear me tonight Yahweh breathed on his disciples and said these words receive it when I baptize you or one of these Elders baptize you when you come up out of the water I taught them at the elders meeting how to baptize and I told them Brethren and sisters when you stretch forth your hands the laying on of hands you command them to receive the Holy Spirit as the proxy of yua and they shall receive it some people when they receive it will respond emotionally some will not some will respond uh according to their * nature but this I promise you if you have have received the Holy Ghost you will desire to speak in tongues you will desire to prophesy you will desire these things why because you already have them on the inside and now you got to work out your salvation with fear and trembling you got to let it out if it's in there it'll try to get out Hallelujah amen amen uh at our elders meeting just the other day we had three or four that had never spoken in tongues that immediately began to speak in that Heavenly L they already had the Holy Ghost I said they * already had the Holy Ghost but now they're moving forward and tonight's lesson had nothing to do with what I'm talking about and no idea how we got there but evidently somebody's doubting your Holy Ghost Hallelujah and the Lord knows all about it Hallelujah I want to make you a prophetic statement if you're in this room tonight it's because you are filled with the holy spirit it's because the Holy Spirit has driven you to be here God is calling every one of you to be filled with the spirit of God and you are you will desire to know * him praise God someone said my picture is frozen can y'all still see me it's moving praise the Lord yua said receive the Holy Spirit now why did he give them the Holy Spirit I want to explain something to all of you the purpose of the holy spirit is so very simple you can find it in John chapter 14 I'm not going there but you can do your own research the Bible said when the Holy Ghost comes he will lead you and guide you into all truth that's the purpose of the Holy Ghost if you don't desire truth you don't have the Holy Ghost and you cannot * even respond to truth if you don't have the Holy Ghost that's why people do not impress me at all with their gifts of the Spirit if they don't want to hear me Teach I don't care you don't have no Holy Ghost you've got a holy almost but not the Holy Ghost I promise you that because if you've got the real deal you'll hear truth the Bible said it it's leading you you may not understand it but it's leading you and guiding you into all truth the purpose of the Holy Ghost is to trans transform you back into the image and the likeness of the almighty * God hallelujah now I want to show you why he gave them the Holy Ghost let's go to Mark chapter 3 verse 14 and 15 the Bible said that when yua was on the earth that he preached the kingdom of God with authority the purpose of the holy spirit is to lead you into all truth let you know what let's just read that before we go because I need you to understand the purpose of the Holy Ghost 14 through 15 is the one he's want you turn to but Mark 3:14 and 15 that's good for right now but hang tight um I there's a scripture here John 16 * and 12 I I'll turn it up I'll share it on my screen so y'all don't all have to worry about turning there here we go I have yet many things to say to you but you cannot hear them now this is yua talking to the apostles and he said see this proves to me that truth is incremental yesu said you cannot bear the truth right now how be it when he the spirit of Truth is come he will guide you into all Truth for he will not speak of himself whatsoever he shall hear that shall he speak and he will show you of things to come verse 15 all things that * the father hath are mine therefore said I that he shall take of mine and show it unto you why did I read verse 15 before I read verse 14 because I didn't want you confused it says here that the Holy Spirit would glorify Christ and that could a little confusion but 15 clears it up all things that the father hath were given to me therefore when he's glorifying me he's glorifying the father he's going to tell you what I've told you because everything that I've told you is only what my father told me so brothers and * sisters the Holy Ghost what is the purpose of it according to verse 13 to guide us into all truth amen if you want the evidence that you have the Holy Spirit it's because you love truth amen amen the minute you quit loving truth you can speak in tongues till your tongue falls out of your head you've been deceived darling do you not think the devil can't speak in tongues every Prophet including cat cat cerr whatever her name is pink hair speaks in tongues more than anybody if that's the evidence of the Holy Ghost then darling I be not * deceived amen be not deceived however when you know brother V you're sounding like you're against tongues no no no you're not listening you're not listening when you know know you have the Holy Ghost because you desire truth then you can receive the gift of tongues and it will not affect in one way or the other your confidence and your Authority that you have because you know you have the Holy Ghost many of you right now you're so up and down in your emotions that one day you'll feel like you don't have the Holy * Ghost anybody in this room ever felt like you didn't have the Holy Spirit I mean come on now thank you that's Satan's greatest weapon if you ever feel that way again read him acts 238 and say you know what I have repented I have been baptized in his name I have received the Holy Ghost I know it and you can't make me doubt it what does that give you Authority and as he leads you into truth he gives you more Authority brothers and sisters the Holy Ghost wants you to have so much Authority that nothing scares you * Hallelujah nothing scares you at all nothing worries you no no one uh no one bothers you why you know your Authority with God when you know you have the Holy Ghost you are a dangerous weapon in the Kingdom of Yahweh amen when you know that there is something living in you and it's that same something that lived in Christ you can ask what you will you know why because it won't be you asking it'll be him asking through you therefore you won't be asking a Miss Hallelujah you'll only pray what the father says to pray let's read Mark 3 * and 14-15 I'm ready when you are Elder okay I was waiting to be unmuted um Mark 3:14 and 15 and he ordained 12 that they should be with him and that he might send them forth to preach and to have power to heal sickness and to cast out Devils all right is that verse 15 yes sir okay read verse 6 and verse 7 no I'm sorry read chapter 6 of Mark in verse 7 and he called unto him the 12 and began to send them forth two by two and gave them power over unclean spirits Luke 9 and one notice the 12 that he keeps calling * together notice the 12 and notice what they are called to do read Luke 9 and one then he called his 12 then he called his 12 disciples together and gave them power and authority over over all devils and to cure diseases Authority he gave them Authority now the other verses says he gave them power I want to explain something to all of you power is witchcraft those of you that desire power are witches the word power should not be in those verses it's a bad word witches desire power power over people power over nature power over circumstances and * Christians want power too they want power to heal they want power to baptize power you remember remember uh uh Simon the Magician wanted power to to cause people to speak in tongues power the Pentecostal church is power-based amen Lord have mercy everybody wants power that's witchcraft God does not want you to have power because power without authority to use that power is dangerous amen I'll give you a perfect example there is nothing more powerful than the US military they have bombs that will blow your mind they have power and nuclear * weapons they have all the power in the world and all that power is you useless without authority to use it amen who's the only one that has the authority to use the power in the US military the president the president of the United States of America y'all need to learn the difference in power and authority yosua did not give his disciples power he gave them he breathed on them what was the authority that he gave them he breathed on them to receive the Same Spirit he had and when he breathed on them he gave them the authority why did they get the * authority notice who did not get the authority oh I need help now who did not get the authority was the thousands of people that followed Yu's Ministry amen amen who did not get the authority the Christians come on those that were out there saying they believed in him and called him Lord why didn't they get the authority they were not disciples come on Pastor come on now they were not submitted daily to his authority remember to be in Authority you must come under Authority these 12 men gave up their lives their agenda their their * employment they gave up everything to sit under this man everybody wants power they want power in the ministry they want to be an elder they want to be a deacon they want to be a pastor they want to be a congregation you want Power you know why because you want to have a you you you want to have dominion over people the reason you have no power the reason not is because you're not fit for Authority why are you not fit for Authority because you you won't come under Authority I just found out one of the men that left our church the reason he * left is because at Tabernacles I overlooked him as an I overlooked him to be an Elder I didn't make him an elder and now he knows why I didn't make him an elder I saw from way back that he was not submitted to Authority and the fact that he left proves it amen why is this important because when Yahweh gives you power to speak those things that are not as though they are every propheus on YouTube Every all want power but they refuse to come under the authority of the word of God hallelujah if you want Power come under * Authority come under obedience to the word and what yua will do to you is what he did to those 12 disciples he will breathe on you and say receive Authority receive authority over all manner of demonic power it takes more than power to cast out a demon it takes Authority that's why when I pray for someone that has a demon if that thing's not out in 30 seconds I'm done I don't play the Greg lock game I don't put on a show for devils and give them my platform and glorify these Devils honey if a demon don't come out * when I say come out it's because that person don't want to let it go I promise you you can believe that darling when I say come out I know my authority why because I walk in the Commandments of Yahweh I'm in a covenant with him if a sickness don't leave when I tell it to it's not meant to leave and if a demon don't come out when I say come out it's because it's at home where it's at and the person hosting it likes their guest you don't cast out demons with power you cast out demons with authority and that's the difference in * Us and Them you you cannot have authority with God when you don't even keep his Sabbath day holy you're not under his command some of you now that you're coming under his authority When you pray watch those prayers get answered more than they ever have before because of the authority you're walking under that you're developing in your life let's read more about this John 20 and 21 uh sister bets go ahead and uh make it to where I I don't like not hearing nothing in the room so take that off I just don't let nobody raise their hand right * now if you don't mind I don't know everybody just hold your hands down we're going to make it to where you can unmute because it's sounds like I'm in a Catholic church tonight Hallelujah there we go hallelujah amen Pastor hallelujah oh much better my Lord much better I felt like I was literally at a mass Hallelujah we feel your fire thank you darling we left Babylon a long time ago amen we are with you we are amen hallelujah let's read John 20 and 2 un word of Y hallelujah amen John 20 and 21 then said yosua to them again peace * be unto you as my father ha sent me even so send I you now notice what he said I'm sending you out because why I also was sent out by my father and I obeyed amen watch the flow of authority here Saints watch the beauty of the Good Shepherd yua saying now I'm turning all of you into Shepherds because I have the authority to do it because I was sent and I obeyed my father now I send you with the same Authority that I have I now give it to you now that's why I tell people when I baptize them I tell them it's not me baptizing * you literally it is yua baptizing you why because he sent me to baptize you and therefore it is him doing the work not I and now I move out of the way and I loan him my hands to lay on you and when I do he breathes upon you and says receive ye the Holy Ghost do you see that Saints do you see when I say it it's him saying it why because he sent me Hallelujah and I'm gonna say something I'm G to say something to all of you that didn't understand what I just told you when you were baptized then you might want to go under * again and know that when I say to you receive ye the Holy Ghost you will know who's saying it to you and you'll receive it with no problem hallelujah amen right why because I can't I can't just command it you have to believe it those two those two work together you have to know that just like yua I breathe on you say now receive the Holy Ghost Benny hen wasn't so far off after all breathing on everybody hallelujah hallelujah Glory Glory Glory Glory Glory he breathed on him said receive the Holy Ghost and he said now * I'm sending you out to breathe on them why that breathing is a symbol and a sign of the Breath of Life why did he breathe on him because Yahweh breathe life into Adam come on now let that Revelation come into you and as we breathe that's a symbolic gesture of faith that that same life is now lifegiving Spirit what do we do with the the baby when he won't breathe what we do come on now we breathe on him Hallelujah in his nostrils that's right Hallelujah wow Hallelujah when you go down in the waters of baptism the holy spirit said * to breathe on them command them receive you the Holy Ghost Hallelujah why it's a symbol it's a symbol of our faith when you get a true Minister that is under obedience to the word and to a shepherd and that flow is happening darling you can't help but receive the Holy Ghost it's the same Mission you have the same mission that yua had every one of you to breathe the breath of life into every dead thing that he brings in your pathway Hallelujah let's read Matthew 28 well I tell you what I don't have time tonight * let's skip on down and let's go onto uh Romans 16 and 25 and 26 amen go right ahead now to him that is of power to establish you a according to my gospel and the preaching of yua Messiah according to the revelation of the mystery which was Kept Secret since the world began all right Paul's right there now to him that has the power to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Yeshua according to the Revelation you have no power or authority without Revel ation of the mystery of God everyone in this room * that's under my Ministry I want you to listen you are developing an authority that you know nothing about do you know how you're developing it because you are beginning to understand the revelation of the mystery of the ages and as you begin to understand the mysteries of God a boldness begins to come inside why do you think I always stand up and say I'll give you a thousand you think it's cuz I'm a rich man oh God no it's because I have an authority to know I'm walking in the truth and that gives you Authority * brothers and sisters you have to know in whom you are and in whom you have believed that is where your Authority comes from your Authority does not come from feeling like you have authority it comes from knowing that you have been giving yua Authority you have to know that brothers and sisters beyond the shadow of a doubt you have to know if somebody don't get healed When you pray for them it's it's beyond your ability it's the father in his own Sovereign will you can't walk off well I wonder why God didn't heal him you ain't got no * Authority if you question that Hallelujah you heard me you don't have real Authority if you ever question why God didn't do something because men with real Authority knows I did what God Said to do I'm done God said to do it I did it I'm done I'm done and brothers and sisters you've got to know that level of authority when you've prayed for your loved ones to get saved and they're not saved yet you don't you don't question God you just continue to believe continue to declare and know that because you're doing that one day * he'll drag them and release the rest you just have to know it we don't pray by our feelings we pray by our faith hold that position say it again hold that position amen hold that position Hallelujah you need the authority to never waver in your faith amen never now you can only do that if you know who you are if you know that you're under Authority if you know that the authority you're under is flowing in the truth of the word of God with that comes an authority over every addiction over every sin over everything * that does so easily beset you I've come to tell you today the Dominion mandate that we've been teaching about is a mandate of authority not power and while we're here let me explain what I mean to you by that the um let me find the Strong's Greek word for you real quick because I want to demonstrate this to you so you can know beyond the shadow of a doubt who you are in the spirit that you don't need power witches are trying to get power that's why they cast spells that's why they you know drink chicken blood * that's why they go and dance naked under the moon they're looking for power and the Christian church is no different they all want power but not one of them want to come under obedience to yua and be a disciple to receive that true power that true power amen amen praise the Lord are there any questions right now while I look this scripture up anything that I need to make clear all right that's good then let's go and I go ahead can you address the lay hand suddenly on no man yes ma'am thank you wonderful scripture so we're commanded * not to lay hands suddenly on any man that is why um I don't have prayer lines that's why I don't line people up and tell them everybody that comes up tonight's going to get healed no they're not anyway quit lying because and that's why in baptism if I look you in the eyes and ask you if you've repented and if you believe that you shall receive the if you can't answer those questions I'm going to ask you to step out of the water I'm not fixing to lay hands on you why I take this job very seriously I don't pray for people that's * been running the preacher down and then pray that their throat cancer will Le leave them amen it's a mockery and an Abomination before God the Bible said I I tell you not to pray for them he said if there's any sick among you let him go confess their sin to the Elders of the church boy people hate those scriptures people hate them scriptures you know I knew a lady that ran my mother-in-law and father-in-law down all over town trying to destroy them tried to destroy us develop breast cancer now she's calling every one of us * and all the churches in town to pray for her breast cancer to be healed and then she went and got some propers line prophesier prayer line and she was prophesied to that Satan sent that sickness on her and that God was going to heal her and all of that didn't happen never happened you make a mockery out of holy things I discern people before I pray when I'm walking at Tabernacles laying hands on people if I've never laid hands on you there's probably a reason I'm very careful who I lay hands on I discern who I'm laying hands on I * don't do it suddenly on any man you know why I didn't lay hands on you because you were standing there saying in your mind I'm not going to fall out if he touches me and I knew it by the spirit why would I waste time on you you're a brick wall I ain't got time to play with you I'm looking for people that's ready to yield to the moving of the Holy Spirit what he wants to do in their life Hallelujah the first night of Tabernacles I think two or three years ago Elder Rickman was telling me he walked in with his cowboy hat on they'd * never been in our type of a church he stood there he was telling me the story night before last I believe and he said as he was standing there he's he's brother Rickman is a man's man you know intimidating very tall had his cowboy suit on from Texas West Texas mind you and he don't fall for nobody right but yet I looked and they was hiding his wife said oh God he's coming close hide and so um uh I believe she said oh Lord he looked at us don't anyway long story short and all of a sudden the Holy Ghost spoke to me and I said you both of you * come here I called them out and in just a matter of seconds they were on the floor I only do that because there was a seed in that man that was ready to yield no matter what what his mind was saying there was a seed ready to yield and God knew it but be careful I don't lay hands on everybody why because I take that seriously and if I do lay hands on you you need to know something you need to know it's not me laying hands on you it is not I that do the work come on now I want y'all to go back to that scripture we started with where he * breathed on them and said receive the Holy Spirit I just want you to try to imagine if they just you think just stood there and said oh thank you sir W Glory they probably did like Paul did on the Damascus Road when yua showed up and commanded him to receive the Holy Spirit the Bible said he fell off his horse like a dead man amen when you come into our meetings if you don't want it I don't want to give it to you amen if you don't want the disease I'm giving away you ain't G to catch it darling hallelujah praise God * hallelujah if you don't want Co we ain't G to breathe on you glory to God you got to want it hallelujah praise God Amen let's look at one of these words real quick so very import it right here look at your word power on your left but as many as received him to them he gave the power to become the sons of God that word power is the Greek word exusia exusia now excuse you when you begin to look at it look how many ways it can be translated power 69 times look at the next one Authority 29 times or the right two times or the Liberty two times or one * time or the jurisdiction one time or the strength the power of authority and of the right see you need more than power brothers and sisters you need the right to use the power Hallelujah come on now see we getting somewhere I need you to follow me the power you've got the power but now you need the right and the authority to use that power amen otherwise you're a witch the only way you have the authority is if you're a disciple the only way you're a disciple is if you have given up your life amen to be obedient to the word of * God those of you walking in all the obedience you know you've got the authority to use the power let me show you how it works are you ready Barney F little Barney f is the deputy sheriff not Barney has power he's got a bullet in his pocket and he's got a gun on his side that's power but he can't use that bullet until Andy tells him he can come on now I said come on now he he'll he'll call Andy on the CB tell him I got a murderer loose can I use my bullet but see the problem is he's misused that bullet so many times that * Andy scared to death he's going to shoot his own self with it and Andy Griffith tells him all right you can use your bullet here's the problem when you see someone in a traffic circle maybe it's some little woman that's a crossing guard at a school zone that woman has no power in and of herself to stop a vehicle and here comes 18 wheelers and she walks right out there puts her little hand up like that with a white glove and stops growing Vehicles you know why there's a little badge right there on her chest there's a * little badge right there that's her authority to use the power I'm teaching you tonight amen all these charismatic churches y'all go to where they tell you you've got power that's the last thing you need darling is power because you know what you'll do with that power you'll go out and tell somebody living in adultery you'll go out telling somebody living an open sin that they're healed in the name of Jesus when you have just done them more damage then you you don't have no sense in your head you don't have no word in your * pocket amen that's why I tell people the most dangerous person in the world is a dummy with a Bible amen I'm serious amen you give a dummy a Bible and they'll do more damage with Barney F will do more damage with that Bible in his hand than if you just put it down amen don't be a Biblical Barney don't have the power without the authority you got to know you got to know this [Applause] word you know people will come to me all the time and they'll start talking about spiritual things then they get angry at me because they're so * spiritual they see I'm not buying it and I say well no no no no no no no no no no no no that's not what the word says well I don't care my mama my dead Mama came and talked to me and told me that uh blah blah I said no no I I'm glad no no no no what's coming out that Authority it's not my authority I don't have no Authority you heard me it's his authority what is him the word hallelujah that's why I will not debate with people that starts off well the way I believe it I don't care how you believe it I don't want to hear those * words I won't say those words I will start off it is written it is written the word said why cuz this fat boy I don't have no power I don't have no Authority y'all I'm just Shane vongh down in wav I'm just a little Mississippi preacher I don't have no Authority but I know a book I said I know a book from cover to cover Hallelujah I said I know a book from cover to cover and and there's my authority I've submitted to that book it's the same way with the the Constitution do y'all know what today's headlines were on * Newsweek I shared it on my Facebook timeline the headline today Donald Trump does not need any intervention from the Supreme Court to stay on the Colorado ballot folks that's old news to us ain't it why because you heard today's headlines yesterday about two weeks ago I told you that now how could I tell you that before Newsweek could tell you that I know the book I I've read I read darling I'm my power is in my knowing of the book amen all I did with the court ruling and from Colorado do y'all know all I did I * didn't just run my mouth I didn't go live somebody told me last night Brad Barton went live with somebody named DC and they said by the time he got through they had RFK JFK resurrected de and people was just amazed at this guest that he had R ridden in a car with RF I mean John F Kennedy Jr last he was in a car with him now why am I saying that that's people that want Power without reading the book that's people that want to impress you with their gift of of all their Intel when they have no Intel there's only one * Intel do you hear me there's only one place that knows the end from the beginning do you understand it is the word of God it is the word of God God rightfully divided when people hear me teach you know what they accuse me of well you think you're the only one that's right no I don't but until you can prove me wrong about what I believe you will not get me to bow down to your opinion ever amen you got to show me for and my authority comes from Genesis to Revelation show it to me in context connected to together * with other scriptures draw me a picture and I'll bow down to anything you have to say but until then I know where I stand my authority is in the word of God how many's had people tell y'all well y'all y'all's preacher thinks he's the only one that's right I'm sure y'all heard that one Hallelujah no no no I don't think I'm right at all I think this book is right and I've read that book I've read it from kiver to Ker I've read it from front to back Hallelujah and then I've read it backwards I've read then I've read it I've read it on the pasat * level the D level the remz level and the sod I've read it on every level amen you're the messenger that gives the message and there is Authority in that my brother amen brothers and sisters there is Authority when they started talking about the 14th Amendment guys listen I don't know nothing but I had sense enough to go read the the 14th Amendment and while I'm reading I get to a line about the officers of the United States and I was I said well I wonder what an officer is it's that simple guys I'm not smart I but but * but the Constitution is the if you want Authority know that Constitution and you can saying I told you so every show because why some of y'all are so busy in the super spirituality of Christianity wanting to transcend into spiritual Nirvana and that you haven't even read the book and you have no Authority and do you know who knows you don't have authority Satan why do you think when the seven sons of sha tried to cast The Devil out that devil made fun of those Christians they were Christians oh yes and Satan said now yua I * know and Paul I or Peter which my memory slipped right there oh Paul and Paul I know but I need to know who you are you know why because those seven sons of sha were not under the authority of Paul or yua they was out there doing it on their own there was no spiritual connection to the Spiritual Authority that he recognized that's why when you connect to a man of Authority or a woman of authority that Satan recognizes he'll recog recogniz your Authority because you're connected to that Authority it flows down I said it flows * down so we don't need power we need Authority let me show you how this works Daniel 71 13-14 when you know your Authority you're not scared of nobody or nothing you just turn to the devil and say the Lord rebuke you son I'm busy Daniel 7:13 Daniel 7:13 I saw in the night vision and behold one like the Son of Man Came In The Clouds of heaven and came to the Ancient of Days and they brought him near before him keep reading is that verse 14 oh I'm sorry that that was 13 I'm sorry okay and there was given him and there was * given him dominion and glory and a kingdom that all people Nations and languages should serve him his Dominion is an everlasting Dominion which shall not pass away and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed amen now what I want to show you in this verse is that word dominion now brothers and sisters the word dominion there is the same as exusia in the Greek and it basically means a realm of authority Yeshua is going to be given a realm of authority right now his realm of authority is the church the church is to have * dominion according to Daniel 7:27 read Daniel 7:27 and the kingdom and dominion and the greatness of the Kingdom Under the whole Heaven shall be given to the people of the Saints of the most high whose kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom and all dominions Shall Serve and Obey him right now the local church the Ecclesia the body of yua has been given Dominion in the church Church listen to me carefully and this is where it's about to get very good if you want to understand the Dominion mandate you are going to rule in every * sphere in the New Covenant in the New Kingdom you're going to reign in the Kingdom of legal political social and Morality In The Coming kingdom of God the church the Ecclesia the Manchild will rule in all of those areas political legal a government establishing education we are going to rule in all of those areas when yua returns now if we're going to rule in all of those areas where listen closely where do we get the training how to do that here amen now now from his word am training for reigning that's a part of * this ministry that many people do not truly grasp we are not preparing any of you in this class to go to heaven we are preparing every one of you to be Governors Mayors Senators presidents Kings priests and one day it's going to snap in your mind that you have been given the authority to become those things now you understand why judgment must begin in the house of Yahweh or the Elohim or the Ecclesia I want to talk to you tonight about the purpose of the church the purpose of the church is as follows to teach you how to * govern the power how to govern the authority amen so you don't shoot yourself or somebody else exactly right you're going to be given so much power sister Sandra braer the Bible said that you will rule with a rod of iron amen you're going to be given so much power that the Bible says you'll be like the Angels right now you have been G given the authority to become the sons of God and have great power over what people now you might know why the church is made up of people amen I'm trying to teach you tonight it all comes down to that place that nobody * wants to be a part of the church you know why people want to go outside the church and have power because they don't want to have to earn Authority for that power they go out with a loaded weapon called The Gospel of Jesus Christ in their hands with no authority to use it and they kill everything they touch so God created the a local church a place like this to assemble so that you can develop the training to use that power that you are going to be granted in the coming kingdom of God these local assemblies during the * days of the Apostles do you know what the apostles did all over do you know they did not evangelize like you think they did all they did was plant churches do you know that's the truth if you want to know the truth and I'll just say it the truth is my Ministry is really that of an apostle not a pastor amen why because I've been used by Yahweh to plant a work and in that planting I'm raising up pastors Amen to care for the flocks all over the nation this week at the elders Retreat I look those are they those are people * that are building congregations under my authority and I planted the whole thing under his authority because I'm teaching you his word amen I have no Authority in myself I don't deceive myself I know I'm nothing but I've I know my authority it lies in the word of God these local assemblies is do you know what did not happen in these local assemblies and I'm going to show you where Christianity messed it all up people never how many's heard it say said that the church is a hospital for the hurting anyone ever heard * that no it's not it's a college for the future teachers of the wonderful world tomorrow and the coming kingdom of God come on hallelujah hallelujah amen hallelujah and if you want to know why the church is so stunted in their growth is because they think their job is to literally care for all the kindergarten children until Jesus returns that's true that's what they were taught and that's all they do and that's why they tell you on your Facebook page stick with the basics baby I did for 34 how how many more years you * want me to stick with the basics how many's heard keep it simple anybody the Bible said the Bible said no let us move on from baptism and repentance and let us move on to Perfection that's right training for reigning the local church in the early days of the scriptures was not used for the Salvation of the Lost do you know that's why every Church in your town can never teach you like I do because they're so busy trying to get sinners in the church and they're preaching to Sinners when there's no sinners in the building only Saints and there you sit * for 45 minutes being told Jesus loves you and having all those homecoming dinners all that Fried Chicken now don't mess with my fried chicken now we like fried get out of my lucky charm Hallelujah and that chocolate cake amen you're but you're right I get you I know what you're saying that it is it is and this is what has caused the Christian church to become powerless now let me go over to the Pentecostal Church they think the purpose of church is to have a move of God and to get somebody to pray through to the holy ghost in the * altar grow up that is true grow up amen Pastor amen quit wasting the precious moments of the Saints time shut the music down turn off the organ turn off the piano shut down the the praise and worship music if you have to tell people to open their Bibles and three hours ler later let them go home their mothers mother I'm sorry go ahead sister Sandra they're a mother that does not want to wean the child absolutely and you know what that produces don't you sister Sandra I hate to use the word retardation I don't mean that ugly I'm * just mean a stunting the church the church they do not want want truth they want to talk about faith they want to build one another's Faith all day long they want to motivate and encourage one another I don't need no encouragement I've got Authority in the word honey I don't need you to motivate me I wake up motivated okay I'm getting on some of your toes right now amen Pastor great social club that's all it is you want somebody to lift you up I don't need lift it up ever amen why my feet are planted like a river a tree by the river of water I * shall not be moved I don't need any of that God I don't need any inspiration at all why because I know that when I wake up tomorrow it's all I need to do tomorrow is get crucified again and become more like yua so I can rule and reign with him and I'm that's all I need to know every day I need to know that's my purpose in life amen amen amen hallelujah my authority is in the word not in my feelings brother V you say that because life don't ever get hard let me tell you something you don't know nothing do you know how tired I am in my * body right now you know all I wanted to do when I walked in that door tonight was find my bed and my pajamas and forget the whole world existed why I've been in a house with 30 something people five days okay and I love every one of them Hallelujah do you know the last thing I want to deal with tonight is more people right glory to time for everything but do you know what I knew the moment I walked in that door Today's the Sabbath day today is not about me today is about the Church of God today is all about him that's my authority and * that gave me the strength to rise above my feelings hallelujah hallelujah amen thank you for loving us anyway amen hallelujah and sisters stand on your Authority and you will not need to watch Joyce Meyers for anything amen amen and I don't hate Joy I don't hate nobody but some of y'all are so busy watching these false Doctrine teachers will they encourage me I read a scripture that said encourage yourself in the Lord open that Bible and you can encourage yourself in one minute or less amen what's happening is y'all * think y'all listening to these teachers and you think you can listen to them and just take the good but here's what you don't understand the power of a seed they speak things against truth and you think you're ignoring it and pushing it away but you're not it's Landing come on Pastor that's why the Bible said whatsoever things are pure think on those things and false Doctrine is not pure amen I'm going to give y'all an example I'm GNA give you an example real quick today I joined somebody shared something that was

wonderful uh brother Mar thank you * brother for that looking out for me like that I appreciate that um all right let's pick up where we left off here I want to go to uh Ephesians chapter 2 and we're talking about the I tell you what no let's go to Matthew 16 and 18 first we're talking about the local church the hardest thing you will ever be a part of in your life is a Biblical based local church it's the hardest thing you'll ever do now amen it'll be the best thing you've ever done but it would be the hardest thing you've ever done and I'm going to explain why that's why many * people don't make it in a local church setting now I want to say this to everybody that's in the National Church the way we have this church set up now you are in a local church not physically of course but you still have the same accountability and we have it set up to where you're not a lone Island anymore you are part of accountability you're part of ministry so every one of you that are partners with us by the way I want to welcome the first partner of 2024 that is now a partner of our church I don't know if she's here * tonight uh let's see if she is here um what's her name Sister Sister Nuri from Florida sister Nuri are you here tonight I don't see her sister Nuri are you here tonight I thought I saw I saw her leave the group earlier okay all right sister Nuri is our newest partner this year and if you're watching and you're not a partner of the ministry that makes you part of this local Church Headquarters you may not live here but you're part of us you're connected you're in accountability you call me Pastor your elders or your overseers so * if you're not a partner you can become one by asking for uh a partnership formed from Sister Janice Temple um anyway I was going to show you something else on Facebook but I'm not going to cuz I can't hide her name all right Matthew 16 and 18 let's read it and Simon Peter answered and said oh I'm sorry 18 and I say also unto thee that thou art Peter and Upon This Rock I will build my church and the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail against it is that verse 20 that was 18 go 20 yes sir read all the way through 20 and * I will give unto thee the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven and whatsoever Thou shalt bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever Thou shalt loose on Earth shall be loosed in heaven then charged his disciples that they should tell no man that he was yua the Messiah is that verse 20 yes sir I did it's supposed to be the word Cornerstone in there somewhere Ephesians 2 and20 oh Ephesians yes sir I thought it was in Matthew 16 I'm sorry oh that Matthew that's fine Matthew 16 and 18 I'm sorry no wonder it wasn't lineing up for me that was the * scripture I wanted now let's go to Ephesians 2:20 so Yeshua says I'll build my church ladies and gentlemen if you're how many of you are part of his church can I see your hand if you the only way in you have to be baptized in his name all right the only way in you have to be baptized in his name to be part of his church now let's read Ephesians 2 and [Applause] 20 I'm sorry I was muted okay and are built upon the foundations of the Apostles and Prophets yua himself being the Chief Cornerstone so the Cornerstone of our * church is yua the apostles and the prophets are the foundation we are the what the stones of the church if anyone ever tells you that they are the temple of God no they're not the Third Temple is made up of the following the Cornerstone does anybody know what a Cornerstone does all right it it normally they'll take the Cornerstone and put a plaque on it of when that building was built who built it right there on the cornerstone yua is the Cornerstone of the Third Temple the foundation of that Third Temple is is what the apostles and the prophets now * what does that mean the Old Testament and the New Testament amen it means spirit and Truth okay the foundation of the true church number one is yua he connects the Old Testament with the New Testament the foundation of the church is truth and Spirit or Torah and spirit but that building is only complete with you and me we are the stones that is the walls and the finishing touches of that building now when you understand that and you want to separate yourself and serve Christ without being part of the church now hold on * okay brother Von well I'm just going to sit over here and be one of the stones of the building well you can't do that here's why I'm G read it to you e Ephesians 4:16 I tell you what let's do 15 and 16 yes sir no let's go let's do 14 no let's do 13 Let's do let's do 11 and he gave some Apostles he gave prophets evangelist pastors and teachers to go out and save the lost for the perfecting of the Saints I was wondering if anybody was awake he didn't give you these up here to save the Lost he gave you these up here to make * Saints mad mad as you know what know to perfect and what does it take to perfect you you got to get all in your business the mind of Christ fire amen the fire the fire now that word perfecting there is kartis Mos for the perfecting of the Saints let's go to the root word since ctis m means what completely furnished wow complete the job of the ministry is to completely finish the church why because Yeshua did not finish it neither did the apostles neither did the prophets they started it but the ministry must finish it by perfecting it now * let's go to the root word kataro perfect it to mend it to fit it together to frame it to restore it to perfectly join together the job of the ministry is to do what it's to perfectly join together the church to furnish it completely and then those saints that have been perfected are to do the what the work of the ministry that's why you're being perfected to do the work of the ministry that you thought it was my job to do those of you that went to Babylonian churches you thought the preacher's job was to go out and pray for the * sick to go visit The Afflicted to make to show up at the hospital when you having a surgery and you get mad when we don't you thought the preacher's job was to call and check on you to see if you finished pal that's not our job our job is to look you in the face and say if you don't have sense enough to know what you've got in this building don't come back to perfect you to make you grow up our job's not to fondle you or coddle you or molest you and and just show you a big smile that's not our job our job is to turn you into a soldier in the * army of the Lord hallelujah our job's to make sure you could not be offended if you tried amen amen oh hallelujah our job's to to to Purp purposely not speak to you to see if you'll go out and tell your wife he didn't even speak to me that's my job to that I love doing that because if I can upset you I've not done my job yet yeah amen Pastor my job is to find to help you find no fault in me amen or or any of your brothers and sisters in Messiah amen that's my job my if you've got a preacher that you don't want to * hit in the face you ain't got a preacher wow you're the Good Shepherd it's a fact cuz some of y'all know you some of y'all know you wanted to hit me right in the face a few times you know why because I'm perfecting you and it don't feel good it don't feel good to me when my wife tells me things that that that's wrong that I've done I don't like it amen when when she says you could have done that differently I don't want to hear that oh but as I listen that perfecting fire of God is changing me and tonight my job my job if you come * to Tabernacles or Passover and I don't say one word to you that ain't my job amen amen of of course I will you know I will but if if if if I'm not getting you to a place where nothing offends you the Bible said that that nothing offended Messiah he couldn't be offended Hallelujah prise Goden my my grandmother God Rest her soul people would come up to her and tell her what somebody said about her and let me tell you her words they live after her death in my mind you know what she said honey they probably believe that somebody * probably told them that and they believe that that was her words it was never are how could they know honey somebody they probably believe that somebody's convinced them of that that's what she and I'm acting like her now she' do that hand somebody's convinced them of that and we just need to pray that that thought would get out of their mind that I'm talking like her amen why my grandmother couldn't be offended nobody could offend her e not even her husband nobody could offend her she lived in a place of not offended my job's to get me and you to * that place why because if you can be offended you can't be part of if the church and Satan knows that because as long as you're in a church that's got human beings in it things are going to go wrong amen as long as you're in a church that's got people in it it's going to be filled with Hypocrites and it's going to have people problems yep that's true and we have to take you to where when you see somebody do something wrong in the church your love for them is so much greater than your offense by them amen amen that you're willing to * say you know what I know that sister and I know she loves me I know that I see Authority comes in knowing hallelu if you want authority over offenses you have to know the truth about somebody you have to be able to say you know what a spirit has taken over her mind that's right and I won't hate her for what the devil's doing through her Hallelujah I'm trying to teach you today how to overcome how to walk in the church listen guys if y'all are going to be part of first Harvest Ministries I want to make you a promise I mean a * vow you're going to find something wrong with every one of us get over it amen somebody's gonna forget to call you back somebody's GNA forget to answer your email somebody's going to forget get over it amen and say I know Pastor Von I know his heart I know it's an oversight I know he loves us I know he loves me so you know what I have authority over my emotions CU I know the truth amen brothers and sisters when you know the truth you have authority that's what I've been trying to teach you all night if anybody would hear me when you know * the truth you walk in authority when you know Elder Morgan you're not a drug addict anymore you have authority over the first thought that comes to your mind that wants to tell you you are you just just know the truth amen I realize it's late and everybody's tired but I'm not tired I'm just waking up y'all know I wake up at night time 3 3 AM huh well pastor this is good thank you Elder that's very true we all have we all have to grow up and love one another I want to tell you all you Sabbath keeper something if * you don't love your brother and sister in this ministry you might as well go back to Sunday church why the greatest of these Commandments the greatest of all of them is that you love one another love means overlooking amen love means I love you enough to understand that you're going through a rough time right now and your emotions are out of control and it's not even about me so you know what give you a pass until it becomes a pattern then we'll sit down and talk about it okay then we'll sit down and say Hey brother this how you did this to me and * uh we need to discuss this so I can get it off my now but why don't you learn to overlook a few times love people why because we're building a church and every one of you in this ministry needs to know something I love you you're all my children in the Lord I may not always be perfect for you but I love you and that is the truth and I know that you love us so with that knowledge guess what guess what that gives us authority to do to never be defeated by the enemy you need that Authority in your life amen let's * keep reading the scriptures amen amen for the work of the ministry for edifying of the body of Messiah and according to Ephesians 4:12 somebody tell me if the purpose of the church is to reach Sinners or is it for the edifying of the saved people edifying of the amen amen there it is now you know when you go to church and they're preaching to the Sinners you look around and you say do you know any Sinners here I don't know any sin the purpose of the church is to perfect us it's to reveal the mysteries of the scripture so Pastor if that's not the * purpose of the church then how do people get saved oh very simple my job is to train you to do the work of the ministry you go read the book of Acts where did everybody gets saved I'll tell you where Phillip was walking by a horse uh oh oh okay that scares me when the screen changes like that uh Peter was walking by a horse and saw a man standing in a chariot didn't he it was an Ethiopian unic and that man got saved if you will right there on the streets and he told Phillip there's water right there what stops me from * being baptized Phillip was doing the work of the ministry outside of the local assembly now what would Phillip do with that man that just got saved he would bring that man to the local assembly to be what trained in the scriptures everybody that you go out there and get saved listen listen when you meet a person that doesn't know the Lord and they start asking you questions and they're ready to give their heart to the Lord why would you ever bring them to the church to get saved why would you ever do that or worse yet well you need to come hear my * preacher Sunday you need to come listen to my preacher why would you bring them to hear your preacher revealing the mysteries of the Manchild amen now what does that do to your preacher here you bring in all your sinner friends so that preacher was ready to reveal the mysteries of the scriptures to the Saints and guess what he's got to do now anybody want to tell me now he's got to preach an elementary message to Elementary people kindergarten kindergarten he's got to go back and be a kindergart and teacher and tell everybody Jesus Loves * You this I know for the B and and now what happens to what happens to you that service now you get forgotten about right I feel like people know what I'm talking about tonight I feel like many of you this is your story why you left your churches because there's no food there now amen we don't have sinners sinners don't come to First Harvest Church you know why Sinners go to barrooms Saints go to church amen amen and what happens is the reason people have Christmas pageants and Christmas plays is to get some Sinners to * hopefully finally visit the church so you have to change your whole mentality of what the church is it's a college yep so that's why we have a Christmas play we get 30 new visitors and see Pastor we got five people to give their heart to the Lord at the Christmas plate okay in six months I need you to tell me where those five people are that's right that's right okay nine times nine time once in a while you may have an exception to the rule nine out of 10 are right back where they were why because the holy spirit is * not drawing them your Christmas play drew them when you use carnal ways of getting people saved you have to find carnal ways to keep them saved amen I don't know if we I don't think we've had a sinner in our church in the last three years that I know of oh God and you know what used to drive me crazy oh my god when Toto fans would come to church oh my God [Laughter] hallelujah oh I I would get so nervous iy because I knew they just wanted to hear Toto you know and I and they wasn't ready for that other one you know and uh * so thank God he used it to get a few of them but the point I'm making is I would have to change my message every time the purpose of the ministry history is perfecting the Saints and if the churches would go back to doing that we would have more Authority in the church and we could turn them into colleges instead of kindergarteners and that's the purpose and the identity so where does Sinners get saved let me give you an example Sinners get saved or not saved converted begotten when you are walking in the grocery store and you're at the checkout * C her and this lady and you start talking and all of a sudden that conversation is going to different places and she says well you know I've just been struggling a lot and you're like well I know someone that can help you with that struggle his name is yua Jesus and and here you go here you go everything we've taught you you start teaching her did you know that he's soon to return and build his kingdom on Earth and everything you're telling me is going to be made right and you can look forward to that day you can start right * now preparing there that's where you do the work of the ministry and then do like Elder Connelly did this week he Elder Connelly handed out how many of our booklets on vacation this weekend he's going to bed it's his bedtime I think somebody said he handed out 60 and literally put them in people's hands at huh oh I said about 70 Pat and brother John's oh okay all right they done all fell asleep that's that that's the old people's house over there they all fell asle we're all awake all awake all of us we laying low we're * sucking it up I love it you know what Elder connley did the first night at the first hotel we stayed at he goes and puts them all out and the next morning they were everyone gone and he saw people reading them every one of you ought to be missionaries handing out these booklets everywhere you go that's the work of the ministry not inside the church and by the way what I'm teaching you now is 100% different than the church taught you I know that I know that your job at the church how many remembers Phill a Pew Sunday does * anybody remember Phill a pew [Music] Sunday they would hand out $50 whoever could fill a Pew butts on a Pew I'm the total opposite I'm trying to empty pews off Hallelujah why because we want to perfect the church I want this church in such unity and such moving of the spirit let's keep reading how long do we need the P the pastor the prophet how long do we need these until we all come in the unity of the faith my job is to bring us into the unity of the faith and the knowledge that yua is not Yahweh Hallelujah and the knowledge of who yua * is until we have become the Manchild ready to be delivered to the throne the perfect man until we measure up to the stature of the fullness of Christ amen hallelujah until we are no more children running from one Ministry to the other going from one YouTube channel to the other that's what it's saying right here it don't say that yes it does read it toss to and fro don't know what you believe every wind of Doctrine by the slight of men and cunning craftiness they lie and wait to deceive you that how long do you need the * ministry until you're not jumping from place to place being deceived and then you need the ministry until you learn how to speak the truth in love and until you grow up into him in all things which is the head even Christ but here's where I wanted to get to why do we need the local church pastor Von from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by by that which every joint supplieth what did that just say there's no such thing as I'm the temple of God and I'm not going to be connected to the body I'm just going to do this on my own * you better go read it again until the building is fitly look join together and compacted then you are not the temple amen when I talk about the work you ever hear me refer to this as the work the work is all of us fitly joining together in one building compacting one another in the local church brothers and sisters in first Harvest Ministries and others that have truth God Is compacting You squeez in you it's the hardest thing you'll ever do you know why because the more you listen to this truth the more you are * disappearing and the more you are preferring your brother and your sister and the more it's no longer about you the more the less you're getting offended why you know why that's happening if you're not in the local church you don't have the the opportunity to overcome offenses you can't be offended by the world the only people that can offend you is the people of God oh well praise God pastor this is good amen you have to understand why you're in the church you're in the church to be offended by the church this * is good so that say it again I was thinking about them Stones fitted jointly together you know in order for stones to be fitted jointly together it has to be a lot of chiseling done come on now amen come on Elder that's exactly right exactly right let's go read quickly and then I'm going to close out I'm here tonight to teach you Israel 101 because the true Israel the true House of Israel they may be scattered but they're one and now you might know why oh oh holy ghost help me now now you might know why God created * the platform of technology to reach out to where they were all scattered and bring them together and compact them together into one Church oh we couldn't do the work Elder Bill if you and sister Heidi and by the way we've got a lot to tell y'all about sister Heidi but we won't do it tonight it's a spiritual meeting hallelujah praise the Lord she's a precious Saint listen if somebody would have given youall this truth Elder Bal over there where you live and you would have come out of the Baptist Church to follow * truth but it was just y'all nobody else no work could get done right right no work could get done of any of any measure so that's why the Bible said it was going to compact us together Elder because your talent and my talent all working together you may not have the talent brother Bill to get behind this microphone like I do that's my talent that's right that's my gift maybe you have the gift of organization Maybe you have the gift of insight to be able to put systems together whatever that is as we bring it together brother it makes * Satan so angry because now we're creating booklets books we're doing more than just we're doing the work every one of you that send your tithe here it's financing the work that meeting we had this weekend in Tennessee that was not a vacation darling that was the work the work of bonding together and coming head to-head working things out and understanding one another compacting right yes amen and I'm thankful for you I'm thankful for your wife I'm thankful that when y'all heard the truth you didn't go off by yourself * but you've joined together fitly with everybody else and brothers and sisters I believe that's why God allowed Zoom to be created because right now we are a local church if you live in Tennessee right now you have a pastor you have an elder in that state that believes what I teach and that will help you to understand it that's what a local church you've got a church and every three months they're going to put together Sabbath meetings for you to go to we're getting there right this is the work amen go ahead amen * oh Pastor thank you thank you for everything because you're just absolutely correct just having the church to join with first harvest to have that fellowship with each other and have that strength drawn from each other is so vitally important and that's exactly what went on just last week at the elders meeting was we all could just draw off each other's strengths and get to know each other deeper to make us that much stronger in standing with our walk to walk and serve and serve first harvest Ministry in and Elder bill you * know what else we did we we found out that each one of us are human with different personalities different different traits we found out we're not all super holy and super perfect we found out that we are real human beings growing into that Perfection Y and that was a beautiful thing to behold we found out somebody doesn't go to bed early either indeed we did and we found out somebody's very competitive oh yes we did Hallelujah Glory oh we got to be part of the Church saints we can't do this without the church do you know * yua is powerless without the church he's the head without a body amen but as the church connects to that head all of a sudden we give his voice place in the earth let's read Ephesians 2 and 11 and three and six and we're about done Saints I'm G to let y'all out of here no later let's say I go to bed about 3 so we we're fine let's go amen wherefore remember that ye being in times past Gentiles In the Flesh who are called uncircumcision by that which is called the circumcision in the flesh made by hands now read verse chapter three of * Ephesians and verse 6 so here Yahweh is telling them that they used to think they were Gentiles but now they're Israel and that yahweh's brought them together with the house of Judah read chapter 3 and verse 6 that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs and of the same body and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel so he's teaching us a lesson here that we're to be of the same body with Christ but in the body tonight I'm teaching about the local church and how Israel always listen sheep sheep always do what Elder * Connelly if you're out there tell us what sheep always do we were we were talking about it today at the dinner table takes him a few minutes to get that far y'all hold on all right I told y'all they're asleep anyway uh here's sh hello there there he is oh Hallelujah I I I didn't know how to operate this machine they're obedient they they know the voice to their Shepherd and not only that they they do what we said it tonight at the dinner table they they huddle together oh that's right yeah they're in a flock they stay in a flock they're always are * in a flock they don't never separate they stay they always stay in a FL amen now the goats together now the goats are independent they do their they like to run off by themselves that's right but the Sheep h together around the shepherd the day they saying alone sheep is a dead sheep say it again they say an alone sheep is a dead sheep as a matter of fact Elder connley had to take one of the sheeps that somehow got away from the flock and literally had to reintroduce him to the flock for them to accept him back in is * that right Elder yes sir Pastor that's that's correct a sheep alone is a dead sheep and you have to get them readjust them back into the flock once they've been separated from the flock for a day or two that's why oh now I'm gonna preach a little bit that's why sometimes people that leave the first harvest flock they want to come back in and we we all looking at them a little cross-side we love you but with sheep we want to make sure you're a sheep we want to make sure you're not bringing something into the camp brothers and sisters hear me sheep * huddle together when you find people in this ministry that don't want to huddle there's a problem and you'll see it not once you see them start backing away from the Huddle there's a reason God is calling Israel to huddle together there's safety in the Huddle there's safety in the church now read Ephesians 2 and 12 that at that time ye were without Christ being aliens from the Commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of the promise having no hope and without Yahweh in the world at one time you thought you were * Gentiles but now now your fellow heirs together listen to that word together together fitly joined together I cannot stress to you as we come to the end of days just before the coming of Messiah how he is huddling us together together we cannot do this work unless we do it together read verse 22 verse 21 and verse 22 in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an Holy Temple did you hear that read that slow everybody listen about this third Temple the only way it will be built read it in whom all * the building fitly framed together groweth unto an Holy Temple in Yahweh see you cannot have a third Temple unless you have the building fitly joined together growing what together together it grows into a house you can't build a house by putting a brick over here and a brick over there come on now that's why Satan hates this ministry I need you to listen to me tonight Satan hates this ministry number one because you love your Shepherd and he hates when you honor the man of God number two he hates this ministry * because after three years instead of falling apart we've gotten Str stronger he hates this ministry because we do more than just preach we publish we teach we produce videos we produce podcasts we are we are getting this truth to the world he hates that read in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of Yahweh through the spirit will Yahweh habitate in one believer alone no no why do you he said why do you think he said we're two or three are joined together hallelujah amen then I'll be in the midst of them I won't be * in the midst of him ever Yahweh does not work through goats he does not work through Lone Rangers he works through a join together Church why do you think he told me do y'all know what I could have done with this ministry do you know I could have just kept it about me and just kept building followers I didn't have to build regions and states and districts and I didn't have to do all that but I knew what God called me to do it was not to build a name it was to build a church it was not to build me it was to build a church it was to build a * body and I'm just the shepherd that's it you are the building and that's why if you've ever noticed anytime we get together for Passover Pentecost or Tabernacles there's such a presence of Yahweh you know why the building the the join together building is building that Temple and more the bigger the building more of the presence the more joined together it don't leak out and trouble can't slip in do you follow me you got to build this building I'm trying to teach you tonight where first Harvest Ministries is headed and * why some people thought me so cruel whenever we would disfellowship certain ones when we would not allow it not because it's it's because we love the church that we protect the church from those that do not want to be part of that church Hallelujah keep reading through verse 22 and we're closing that was verse 22 oh that was the end of 22 yes sir all right I want to recap everything we've talked about tonight I want to the Dominion mandate If You're Going To Rule and reign with Christ what tool did Yahweh create * to train you for government in his coming Kingdom the word the church the fivefold ministry which which governs the what the church the Ecclesia what is the training ground for the kingdom it's the church brothers and sisters let me show you an example of ruling and reigning are you ready you may not like it but I'm going to show it to you anyway let me show you everybody see my screen this is a letter to the church it is reported commonly that there is sin fornication in the church now let me ask y'all what would * the modern Church do about fornication anybody leave it alone nothing nothing that's a good word absolutely nothing because that fornicator right cuddle them love him and then probably that fornicator is a good tieer okay you can do it a good tithe payer and his mama is probably a good tithe payer and his daddy's probably a good tithe payer and if you lose the son you're gonna lose them so you got about 800 a month walking out the door amen let me show you what it's like to rule and reign verse two and you are puffed * up in other words the church is bragging on how much they're growing how many Souls they've won to God this year he said I'm writing you a letter because the church is announcing that you've never had growth like you've got right now the Sunday School Drive the Sunday School Drive has 50 new people last month you're all puffed up you're all excited about the move of God you just closed out a Revival thousand people confess Christ as you're all puffed up here's what Paul said you should be mourning because there's sin in the * church that he that has done this deed might be taken out of the church y'all know I didn't write this correct you you know that okay boy when you start reading this people you know why because you thought the church was the hospital for the hurting no no no no no no no it's the disciplinarian school it is the place it's the finishing school do y'all know they used to send girls to finishing schools do you know what finishing schools did they perfected a girl to be a wife we're in a finishing school let's keep reading for I verily I'm absent in body * I'm not there but I'm present in my spirit and what did he say right there what did he say I've already judged it whoa whoa whoa what what Paul Houston we have a major problem here does anybody know the problem he Jud J judge Jud judge not Paul come on how dare you do you not have mistakes in your life Paul are you perfect Paul Paul understood good by guilt and he understood as long as he was in Repentance he was in Perfection amen hallelujah say said that don't work with me either well brother Von are you perfect oh you better * believe I am not not because I'm perfect but because he said I was you better believe it glory to God why as long as I'm confessing my sin and as long as I'm repenting of it and moving from it I am in Perfection Glory but this fornicator was not why not because he fornicated but because he refused to stop as he said ' I've already judged as though I was in the building concerning him that has done this deed in the name of yua the Messiah when you are gathered together wait a minute I ain't got to join no church I ain't got to be part of nothing * I'm s Paul wrote to people that gathered together into the assembly on the Sabbath day day Hallelujah I'm messing up some of y'all's playhouses is what I'm doing you know how I'm doing it with authority not mine not this boy but authority of the word it works every time Elder Meadows it always works you don't have to hide from it read it believe it and do it let's see what he said he said when you were gathered together and my spirit with the power or the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ I want you to deliver this * fornicator for the destruction of his flesh that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus wait a minute Paul I thought once saved always saved I thought he was already saved see this book messes everything up when you read it he said no no no he said I know he came to the church and got saved he ain't saved no more amen put him back in the Fire come on now he's out of Covenant give him to Satan he didn't say go get him counseling he didn't say everybody get together and tell him how much they love * him he said what deliver him to Satan for the ministry of Satan because Satan is my Minister he's on standby he's ready to beat him with the rods of men amen back in the Fire come on now your glorying is not good he told the church why are y'all having Revival when you've got commandment breaking in the church do you not know that A little leaven is going to creep through the whole church get rid of the leaven that you might be a new lump and unleavened don't sound like no church I ever been to put him in time out that there you go * there you go you know why destruction is God's Construction I want everybody to hear me Hallelujah when God destroys you through Satan his servant is when he's building you amen what would they do if that fornicator was sitting in the church being loved on by the people or when some of you got upset whenever I put certain ones out of the church that you liked because you don't know the whole story and told him not to come back some of your friends how could he do that I have the authority to do it have you seen sister so and so I * hadn't seen him lately I probably kicked him out amen you know why I believe this book and if you will not walk in Repentance and re and you're in rebell if we don't do it guess where it's going to happen it'll spread throughout the whole church it was SP the flock first Harvest Ministries has never had more unity in the National Church than we've had since Tabernacles of of 2023 we've not had one problem do you hear me not one Hallelujah we've not had one issue Hallelujah you you know why because God did something in that * meeting Yahweh did something in that day service I'll never forget it when he began to compact this church and and brothers and sisters we've not had to correct anybody why Yahweh has cleaned it up and now the church is in perfect unity and the local church perfect unity and I'm calling on every one of you tonight to real iiz your part in yahweh's work your part in the church first Harvest Church your part in this ministry and when you realize how important you are we can't build this building without you you hear me if God called you to * this building we need your brick I said we need your brick it doesn't matter how insignificant you think you are you're a brick did you hear me you're a brick you're a stone in this ministry and we love you amen amen praise the Lord hallelujah everybody amen amen amen amen hallelujah amen amen Holy Spirit I ask you tonight you took my weak body and my tired mind and brought me in places I didn't know I was going to go into tonight I thank you for using my voice for your word amen father let it settle in the hearts of these precious people * yes Lord father let it burn out anything that would resist it that they might know the value of the church the value of this assembly that we've built that you've built our hands have helped you I ask ask you tonight to bind us together as we wait for the coming of the Lord as we wait for your coming bind us together make us stronger than we've ever been before Hallelujah and like sister Ruth hefin always sang Lord bless and so we wait upon you for the coming of the Lord and so we wait to receive our reward there's the hands we wait not as * those who have no hope we run not as those who receive no reward we run not as those who run in vain as we wait for the coming of the Lord and so we wait yes we do for the coming of the Lord and so we wait to receive our reward but we wait not as those who have no hope we run not as those who receive no reward we run not as those that run in * vain as we wait for the coming of the Lord

Summary

Using Ephesians 4 as the central text, the lesson teaches that Yahweh established the local church to perfect the saints through the ministry gifts until they are fitly joined together into one mature body. The Ecclesia is presented as the training ground for Kingdom government, where believers learn obedience, unity, accountability, and spiritual authority. Drawing from Ephesians 2 and 1 Corinthians 5, the message emphasizes that the church is built upon Messiah, the apostles, and the prophets, while biblical discipline protects the purity of the body and prepares the saints to reign in the coming Kingdom.
