We'd like to welcome you to God's Place Ministries, 1108 Beaumont Avenue, Knoxville, Tennessee. We have a 13-0 service, 7 PM, Saturday night at 6 PM. Every four Saturday we have a block party for the community. God is doing amazing things that are coming here, the truth, the Word of God.
We do offer transportation, the numbers on the screen. Call us and we'll be happy to come and pick you up. Come and receive what God has got in store for you. God bless you.
Hope to see you soon. Praise the Lord. Welcome to God's Place Party for Jesus' Ministry. I'm here with my beautiful wife and it's always an honor to be here.
Share the Word of God to the being God's presence, the Bible, single church, we gather His name, we've been missed. We want to welcome the Holy Spirit here today. And so, you know, I want to talk about what God has laid in my heart today is the shape that the world is in and not only what the shape the world is in today, you know, it's not the presence of darkness, it's absent of light, they were having that causing all the problems. You know, God come to seek and to save those our lives and, you know, He died for us while we were just sinners.
But one thing that's really burning my heart here today is, you know, I never dreamed that I would drive through Knoxville, Tennessee, and see all the gay pride and gay flags and what sin is sin. I mean, regardless if you're sin is being a liar, I mean, a lot of people have problems lying. It's just the flesh is wicked and the devil comes in many different forms. You know, there's people that has problems of overeating, there's people that has problems of lust and pornography, whatever it might be.
But that's why we all need a Savior, we all need Jesus Christ. But, you know, it's like the way that it's really, it's really burning me and I'm really hurting for the Lord. And, you know, the way I look at it, Jesus offered too much for the world to live like it does today. And not only that, but it's our jobs as Christians to the children of God, sons and daughters of God to rise up and set the example on, you know, the way that I look at it, if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
And the fact that we set back and watch our country act the way it's acting. I mean, we will, wow, you know, for the government, take the God out of the schools. We, we set back and just say, oh, well, look at what they're doing or, you know, blessed or just that together. But God has called us to be warriors.
He's called us to be soldiers. He's called us to be ambassadors of Christ. And so, I don't say a whole lot of ambassadors. Bowed is aligned.
Bowed is aligned. When we received the gift of the Holy Spirit, we received a gift of bonus. You know, this is a scripture God actually preached this message on similar last night in the book of Joshua. Excuse me.
Joshua chapter one verse one, it's, you know, after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spoke unto Joshua, son of none. Moses ministered, saying, Moses, my servant is dead now. Therefore, rising over to Jordan, bowel, and all these, these people unto the land, which I do give to them, which even into the children of Israel. He said, every place, every place that the soul of your foot shall tread upon, I have given unto you, I said unto Moses.
So, you know, we have an authority through Jesus Christ to take our land back. You know, it's a, you know, they're having a celebration. I mean, the fact that they're celebrating sin is not just, you know, not just for a day, but for a whole month, they're celebrating gay pride. And so, and this is a, a domination to God.
And it's not okay. I mean, you know, I love, praise God. God came and he loves us sinners, but he hates sin. And so, it's time for the church.
It's time for the people. It's time for the sons and daughters. It's time for the warriors to rise up. You know, we, Lord, preach the new lights.
We're going to, the Lord has going to come up with us our own flag. The fact that we use, that the world is using a symbol of a rainbow to, to, to, you know, people say a rainbow in this generation. And all they think about is being gay. It's, it represents being gay.
Well, rainbow was a, was created by God. And it was a promise that he would never come back and flood the world again. Now, he didn't say he wouldn't destroy the world again. Actually, he said he would.
And I can see him doing that pretty quick. I can see God coming back real soon. In my, in my opinion, if God don't come back soon, he'll have to go back and apologize to Sodom and tomorrow, because this world in the book of Genesis in chapter five, that it made God sick at his stomach that he even created men because it was so much evil, uh, continually. Every imagination of men was evil, uh, continually.
And so, but that's what we're supposed to do. You know, where the Lord is looking for people that will be bold. He's looking for leaders. Moses is dead now, but we, the Lord is needing some Moses's, as the Lord had chosen Moses.
He didn't, he didn't call a qualified person. He, you know, he called a person that was an orphaned. His mom would put him in a basket. He was raised by a federal dollar.
Later on, he ended up committing murder. Uh, he don't call, he don't qualify the college. He calls the, he calls the qualified. And so, and he tells us, you know, that every place that most, every, every place that he put his foot, his soul with us, that he would give him this land.
What's time for us to fight for a landbag? It's time for us to be ambassadors of God and not allow these things. And listen, I'm not talking about condemning nobody. Jesus didn't come to condemn the world, but he come through him that the world might be saved.
I mean, you know, the veterans, they get one day a year that they celebrate the veterans. Uh, gay pride is celebrated for a whole month. I mean, they've got their flags all through in all such a city, all through downtown. And this, I mean, where is God's people at?
That's, you know, you think about Peter, you know, Peter said, oh Lord, I'll fight with you to the end. I'll die with you. And Lord looked at him and said, you all right. You'll deny me three times, you know, before such and such hour.
And what did he do? He denied, he denied trust. And literally, that's what the church world is doing today. We're the non-God.
We're the non-that we're children of God. We're not standing up for God. You know, if somebody said something, told you, your mom, your mom was ugly, your dad was fat, and your kids are crazy. I mean, you know, praise Lord.
I mean, the flesh, we, we would stand up for that. We would fight for, you know, for our family. We would fight for our loved ones. Well, you know, God says if we love our son or daughter, mother, father, mother, mother, mother, God, we're not worthy of him.
I mean, it's time to fight. God has called us to be warriors. He's called us to be soldiers. And we need to stand up and let people know it's not okay to sin.
It's not okay. The other day, I was going down the road. And there was a couple of young ladies holding these flags out the window. And I'm like, I pulled up.
I'm like, are you all for real? Is this a gay pride? And they shook their head, yeah. And it's really sad that people don't know Christ.
And I said, you know, this is, you know, this is a abomination to God. They flipped me off and told me to eat their poo poo. And but I called him again at the next red light. I'm like, guys, I love Jesus loves you guys.
He comes and he died for your sins. You don't have to live this life. This is when you meet Jesus is coming. And you know, one day it's going to be a fearful thing to fall in the hands of living God.
And you might be out there today even listening. You might have a spirit of homosexuality or a lesbian or whatever it might be. We're all, everybody here that's ever been born. We've all seen the fellowship of the glory of God.
And we all got our weaknesses. We all got our struggles. Even so-caught supermen had kryptonite. We all got our kryptonite of the flesh.
Amen. And then the young men come to church one time, God's placed church. And he was gay. And he said, I thought it was OK.
Because I know that I was born that way. And people, they've got mixed reactions about people. Can people be born gay, can they not only be born or are they not born gay? But yeah, absolutely.
There's babies right now that's born with a crack of dish that's never done and opened in her whole life. There's kids right now, born, newborn babies. That's a praise God. They're going through with-rouse because of moms and dads and generation curses that's placed up on their lives.
So even the spirit, that's a homosexuality spirit, a lesbian spirit, it can be a curse. And we're still under the curses of Adam and Eve. And look how many thousands years that was ago. But that's why we all need Jesus.
That's why we all need to serve you. But this young man came and he said, I thought I was born that gay that way. So I thought, I said, I know I was born that way. From a child, when I started walking and started playing, I started wanting to wear dresses.
I wanted to be a girl. I did girly things. I played with Barbie dolls. And so I thought it was OK.
But when I came to God's place church, then I felt conviction. I felt like that I knew that I was doing something wrong. And so guys, we're born in these sinful nature bodies. And we all have weaknesses.
You've got weaknesses. I don't have weaknesses. You don't have changes. We all have different weaknesses.
But that's why Jesus came. So we can overcome our weaknesses through his spirit, through what he did on the cross, that we can receive his spirit. And the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead can actually raise us from the dead. And when I say that, I mean spiritually.
Because if I was said, the body without the spirit is dead. We're dead men walking. If you don't have not the spirit, then you're not a son of God. When he told Adam and Eve if they ate the fruit of the tree, they would die.
They didn't want to eat the apple or whatever the fruit was. They didn't drop over dead. But what they did, they died spiritually. And so listen, we have got to make a move.
You've got something you want to try to get to. I have a few scriptures. I just want to read. And this is in Romans 1, 24, or 32.
So it's several. And it says, therefore God also gave them up to uncleanists through their lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves, who changed the truth of God into a lie and worship and served the creature more than the Creator, who was blessed forever. Amen. For this cause, God gave them up into vile affections.
For even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise, also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burning their lust one to another, men with men working, which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves the recomp, compents of their heir which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobated man to do those things which are not convenient. Being filled with all enrighteousness, fornication, weakness, covetous, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, and whispers, back-boders, haters of God, delightful, proud boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding covenant breakers without natural affections and unmerciful, who knowing the judgment of God that they which commit such things are worthy of death, and not only to do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
So read scripture, it confirms everything. And it's good to have the word of God because, because God be sure in every men allire, but get in your word and study for yourself, and he'll reveal it to you, and I'll ask him to reveal it to you. Well, you know, it also speaks about first Corinthians 6-9, and I said, no, you're not, the unrighteous, and you're not here to keep God in. You're not here to talk about the spirit of homosexuality, whatever it might be, if you're in the spirit, you're not going to go to heaven.
And so, you know, the Bible said in 1 Peter 2, verse 21, that Christ suffered and he died, and he leaves his example that we should follow his steps, and man with no sin or God in his mouth. You know, God is, there's an unusual move of God right now. He's pulling people back into the possible days, when he was looking for disciples. You know, he didn't run into a sin and God, I look for a priest, I never drink a lique, he tells people like myself and like Shannon, and you know, a lot of people at God's place.
She's sinners, like God. She's sinners, Paul. Paul said, I am the land by the grace of God, I felt like I was the chief of sinners. And so the reason is because, you know, God makes us extremely, and some people are extremely, say, being extremely sure, whole life, and when God gets a hold of us, then we're supposed to become extremely sure for him.
You know, you look at, there's a lot of people out here right now on the streets that's got leadership roles. There's so-called kingpins, that's a lord leaders, he's gang leaders, that's, you know, they got a lot of followers. And that's who, you know, praise, well, that's who God is called me to measure to, because if we can get to the leaders, then how many followers do they have? And so, the world is just getting worse and worse, and the church world is getting comfortable, and you know, we just like, well, faith is dead without works, we need to get out here and work the streets, go to the highways and hedges, I can tell the people to come in, we need to preach the gospel, the Lord has given us flags, we're gonna do, praise the Lord, purchase some flags, and we're gonna fly flags and put one on my Jesus truck, and not condemn nobody, but to stand up for God, and let people know, it really bothers me in my heart, that people don't know what the rainbow means, you know, it's not anything doing about being gay, it's about a promise from God.
You know, people need to repent, leaders, our leaders need to repent, we need to quit trying to be men-pleasers, we need to, it's amazing, you know, you know, now that the world is conforming the church, it's transforming the world, now we have gay churches, and I promise you, God is not in that, amen. The reason that so many, we have so many unbelievers today, and I'll be real and honestly, just because of all your hypocrites, amen, I tell my church the same thing. That's the reason people faking it, people praising God, living in a sinful life, people praising God one minute, telling the dirty joke the next, we have a lot of that behind our pulpits, you know, the Bible said in the last days, there'll be many false prophets, and many false teachers, and many shall follow the pernicious ways, there's not enough people that's truly seeking the Lord, that's in sync with God, for God to use them, as well as vessels that God can, like prophets, that God can speak through them, God can do worse through them, you know, Moses is a perfect example, we need some Moses out here today, we need people that will lead God's people in the right direction, get them out of the wilderness and teach them, we need churches that will rise up and build a supple camps, and discipleship camps, and teach people, when say, Book of Acts, you know, 3000 was added daily. 3000 was added daily, well, God has not changed, none of us change, we've changed, the people's changed.
That's why the Bible says, it's my people which are called by my name, but hold on by themselves, seek my face and pray, turn from your wicked ways, God we're from heaven, forgive your sins, and heal your lands. Well, when I see all this abomination to God, all the simple things that happen, you know, walking through town and just glorifying it and celebrating, seeing, you know, I can see a earthquake coming and showing it all, we wonder why there's so many things happening in the world, and the Bible speaks about that, and last days there'll be earthquakes and diver places and stuff, because we are sinning against God, where God's people is neglecting God, they're rejecting God, and no fear of God, and it scares me to see these things, because what we don't understand, we're opening up doors for the wrath of God, and then what happens when something bad happens in gospel, well, I can't believe God will allow that to happen. Well, praise God, God can't believe you'll allow that to happen. He can't believe that we allow this to happen.
He can't believe this country was founded up on God, and it's our responsibility as pastors in Christ, as children of God, as brothers of Jesus Christ, and sisters of Jesus Christ, to go out and be bold and stand before the people and let them know, the Bible said in Isaiah 58, he said, say on that trumpet and let people know about their transgressions, we got to quit trying to win popularity contests and go out and preach the gospel. We got to warn these folks that they're headed on a broad way that leads to destruction, but most of all, we have to do everything in love. If you love somebody, you'll warn them if they're about to drive over a cliff, amen? We see these people, I don't have no condemnation on these people, they're lost, they don't know Jesus, and a lot of them don't even believe there is a God, because they've never seen anybody set the example on what a true believer is supposed to be.
They've never because they've been taught down, they've been condemned, they've been ridiculed, they've been judged, and literally, I hear people all the time, I won't go to church or somebody go to church, I feel like I'm judged, and that's true. I mean, praise the Lord, I hear stories after stories, people come to church, they can't come here dressed like that, need to do this, need to do that, need to do that. Praise God, bring them in, let them come in as they are, and as long as they're dressed, as long as they're covered in their body, and let God clean them up, amen? Let's teach them, let's show these people that God loves them through us, amen?
That's the greatest commitment of the whole book, is to love God, be whole heart, your mind, your soul, and your strength, and the very next, is to love God, neighbor, as I sell, amen? People come to God's place, praise the Lord, straight out of work, grease on their face, on their arms, their hands, whatever, amen, we're just glad to die, amen? When Jesus comes back, praise God, He's gonna come back, He's gonna be like a thief in the night, like a twinkling of the eye, and wherever you are, no matter what you're wearing, or where you're being at work, praise God, come get you just as you are. And so praise the Lord, I've heard one guy came to church, and I was asking him to come to church, he said, man, I have a problem going to church, he lost his heart, he said, I don't never take my hat off, they made me take off my hat at church, and I'm ashamed of my head, and I said, bro, do you even wear your hat, whatever you wanna do?
I said, we love you, we just want you to come. So it's time for people of God to stick together, to lock arms and put our denominations aside. I'll tell you right now, the domination is demonic, it's other devil, it's separation, God don't wanna separate, He wants us to all be in one mind, one accord just as the day, in the book of Acts, when He was in one mind, one accord, then the spirit came in like a mighty Russian wind, filled with my love, that's what we gotta do, we gotta put a difference aside, we don't need a new Bible, amen, we need to get back to the old one, amen, we need to get down to the basics where we love God as a whole, a whole heart or a mind or a soul or a strength, that we keep Him in our eyesight all the time, that we're in all the time, all that we do, amen, He's gotta be the center, praise the Lord of everything, we need to keep God in our mind all the time, amen, I mean I pray all day long, I wake up thinking about God, all through my day I'm thinking about God, I go to bed thinking about God, He's worthy to be praise, the breath, every air that every breath that we take, we're getting closer to meeting Jesus, don't waste none of it, amen, spend every minute, God told me preach every message, like it was my last, in praise God, that's the way we need to live every day, like it might be the last day of your own earth, so be ready to meet God, amen, do you guys have anyone to say? Yeah and see, open rebuke is better than secret love, so letting people know the truth, that makes them free, and in Timothy talks about in the last days, that men will be lovers of their own selves, and that's what's going on in the world, and that's what's going on in lovers of pleasures, more than lovers of God as well.
I'm gonna read another scripture Isaiah 5, 20, it says, well into them that call evil good and good evil, that put darkness for light and light for darkness, and put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. See, you've got to rightly devile the word of truth, and you've got to depart from evil and do good, we've got to depart from evil, we're supposed to abstain from all appearance of evil, we go out and we let people know the gospel of Jesus, and that they can be saved, and we go preach repentance, because that's what the disciples did, and that's what John the Baptist did, it's what Jesus did, repent, he says go into the whole world, preach the gospel, and he says repent and tell them to believe the gospel, I mean, because that's the only thing that can save us, and that we've all got all this blood required on our hands, if we know the Lord, and we have opportunity to go out into the streets and to the cities and to warn others, and that blood, the Bible says, and is equal, that blood is required in our hands, so we need to go out and be bold as a line and give the people the truth, and that's what we're here today to do, it's not pleasing to others to hear the truth, the Bible says that in the last days men will turn their ears from the truth, have an itchy ears, and they will depart from the truth, and so that's what God has called us, we've been putting the gospel that we speak, but pleasing to God, and yeah, open rebuke is better than secret love. Paul said, if I see you, please, man, I should not be a servant of Christ, and so we're not here, God said, I put you in the trust with the gospel that you not speak, please, amen, but be a servant to the Lord, please, and to God. Please, and to God.
So, when Jesus is walking this earth, I never, he was bold, I mean, praise the Lord, he told me he had to be a Christian, he's vipers, amen, praise the Lord, many honor me, he was the hardest for her from me, what we need to pray for is more manifestation of Jesus, people, it's crazy, you see people that in the world, they was 10 foot tall, I thought they was bulletproof, and they give their life to Christ, they're turning it to all, we didn't worry about what somebody's gonna think. Well, they feel like they're judging, because they turn that scripture around, judge not and be not judge, but Jesus, he caught him hypocrites, he caught him vipers, you know, they was a time where he said, you know, the tree by its fruit, and it bears, you know, the word judges, and he gives us. Well, here's the thing, you know, and I had that experience when I pulled up on the corner, and Lord had me pull up, and maybe some crack that was out there so when the crack and pulled up and walked over, and so what you need had a whole handful of crack, and I said, what I need is to tell you that Jesus is coming, need to repent, need your life to cross, need you to judge me. I said, bro, I'm not judging you.
I mean, you've got a handful of crack, it's unroaches, it is what it is, amen. Now to judge him is to pull up and say, I bet that man's a crack dealer, whatever my appearance, if you're not walking in spirit, now sometimes God will show these things, but if a man is living a sinful life, you know, we're fruit inspectors, amen, we know the tree by the fruit that it bears, if a man is living a sinful life, it's your job to warn that man, the Bible says it's equal 320, if we not want this person to blood, it's required our hands, and so we have to, we're supposed to, and I tell you know, all my people weren't, let me know, if you see me do something wrong, it's written on my truck, if you see me see him call me, pray for me, help me, not because I think I'm better than anybody else, because if I'm doing something wrong, I want somebody to reveal it to me, because I don't want to see him against God, I want to set the example of what God has called us all to be. That's what he says before you tell your brother to get the beam out of his eye, get the log out of your eye first, and then go to the brother. Absolutely, so we want to thank God for this time here today, and you know, how many, I mean, when's the last time we've had a parade for Christ, revival, that's what we need to pray for church, all you people, you're true believers out there, let's be praying, we need to get together in March through her city, if the devil can send soldiers out marching for sin, then we need to overcome that, and God is greater, we need to, and we've done this in the past, carried across the city, praise the Lord, what's had us doing that, but it's time for us to really put our hearts on the kingdom of God, seek ye first to keep God in His righteousness and everything else will be added.
In the meantime, we're going to be making flags, if you want to be part of this, t-shirts, flags, trucks, whatever, we're going to represent what the true rainbow is about. When kids see rainbows, they won't think about somebody being gay, that the Lord will be on their mind, that He made us a promise, that we've flooded the earth, that we've flooded again, not mockery. We want to thank you for tuning in, it's been a blessing to be here today, we'd like to invite you to God's Place Church, every Thursday night at seven o'clock, Saturday night at six o'clock, except for four Saturday, we have a block party at two o'clock, praying for this ministry, we're praying for God to expand our territory, help us, help God, help the kingdom.
