A House Divided 06/02/2019: full transcript and answers

▶ 0:00 A house this is in Mark 3:20 we just left now the disciples are out preaching the gospel okay let me set the picture for you disciples are preaching the gospel Jesus is all by himself the crowds we know there’s five to seven thousand at a time following him plus children so the crowds are there he goes into a house and the crowd is so thick and the crowd comes through the windows of doors and they’re pressing in that they couldn’t even eat the women that followed Christ to feed him to wash his clothes take care of him find him a place to sleep you got to understand this all right and these women I’m sure we’re.

▶ 0:51 Approved by their husbands go do it their husbands had two workmen back there they had to work they had to take care of the cows and the fields and all this stuff and or a business or whatever and the women had time to go and follow Jesus during the day and these women took care of Jesus’s natural needs they couldn’t get to him because of the crowd his family heard about it the gossip went through the community. His his brothers his sisters and his relatives heard about it they go he’s gone crazy that’s what the Bible says he’s going crazy anybody ever tell you you’re crazy for the way you serve God well welcome to Jesus’s world. Alright this is the this is the scenario now with this big crowd alright.

▶ 1:47 These demons people filled with demons would cry out and say you’re the son of God and Jesus was safe shut up come out of him and stop him he didn’t want the Revelation of him being the son of God yet. Lujah so he was doing that just like that now. Scribes were there and when he would cast out a demon from that crowded house all the way through this big crowd now you got a picture this this is a huge match massive people and these demons are more than one because it says plural demons you’re the son of God you’re the son of God he didn’t want people to know yet that he was a son of God he wanted to let the scriptures be fulfilled so this the scribes the ones that went to seminary and studied the scriptures said he casts out demons by beelzebub the prince of demons so you got these demons crying out he’s the son of God and you got these scribes and then they’re getting cast out by Jesus in the house no hands on no nothing he’s just solving a problem are you with me and then you got this rick murrow going on and yet the crowd can hear what he’s teaching.

▶ 3:14 That just blows me what no pa system. You ever tried to talk to I am in astir the highest crowd I talked to was in Africa of 12,000 people without a pa they’re not going to hear you how did he do this that had to be some kind of supernatural thing. Anyway. I learned the hard way about demons the first time I thought I confronted a demon it was in the church and a guy acted like he had a demon I thought he had a demon and I did my pentecostal. Dramatic. Display of power and finally got this thing solved all right and he was a believer the next day in my prayer time God says boy you really put on a show and I go oh yeah I’ve heard this before it’s coming he said how can my people have a demon.

▶ 4:23 I didn’t have no demon and so I had to do some research and on demons and just like Jesus he silenced them he took control he didn’t let the demons take control. So a few weeks later sure enough I was in the parking lot after service talking to the pastor we had a great service and we were talking about God and all this stuff and out of the dark and I mean it was dark comes this guy running right into me boom and I start talking to him in honor what are you running from of course I knew he’s running from the law and anyway in my conversation I said do you know Jesus the minute I mentioned the name of Jesus he started talking his eyeballs rolled back in his head he starts talking in a voice that no human can talk in it didn’t come from his throat it came from inside and I go okay and it is eerie and it is.

▶ 5:33 Intimidating if you don’t know your scriptures because fear just filled that atmosphere in fact the pastor was shaking in his shoes and his knees were knocking because he never went out I’ve been going out and ministering and all that so I I had confronted a lot of stuff he just taught in the church the safety of the congregation not dealing with all these weirdos out there but I had been and so I had done my studies on demons and I understood no theatrics take charge you’re not going to demonstrate yourself I said sir I’m gonna pray for you you’re going to come down and then I’m going to deliver you from your problem or God is going to deliver you from your problem we don’t deliver people and now right and I prayed Lord Jesus come and bring calmness to this man man he went right down and this guy was beating himself with his fists I mean just beating himself while this demonic voice was coming out of the inside of him he just beaten himself.

▶ 6:37 That’s why the pastor was shaking am I going to be nick. You got to get out and get involved in the darkness of this world before you’re going to ever learn how to deal with are you that judge you’re not gonna learn it sitting in here listen to people that agree with you. Anyway. After he calmed art down then me and the pastor prayed for him and the minute I mean it was no long prayer dough in the name of Jesus come out of him and when I said the name of Jesus there was this. Horrible screeching and again humans can’t do this it’s beyond humans.

▶ 7:26 Capability to do this a sound like you never heard a human can’t hear and when that guy was done just like that he was just a normal person he came to church and everything else so you don’t let demons take control and when I went to third-world country that’s the first thing I did is that let God take control no demon could they want to demonstrate they want to show their power you just got to stop it are you with me this is well this is what was going on when Jesus was talking and ministry okay and in the middle of this he says this great statement. Remember the scribes are saying he’s casting out demons by the prince of demons Jesus responded and said a house.

▶ 8:25 Divided. Can’t stand a kingdom divided can’t stand and Satan divided against himself he can’t stand and that is so true folks a family if you’re not in agreement that house is going to fall apart. See when we’re in agreement we’re in unity when we disagree agreeably wearing a false harmony. That make sense and when you’re forced to agree that’s conflict and it’s going to wind up being a full-out war. And I’ll just tell you I am really concerned about.

▶ 9:21 Good men and women finding good men and women in this generation men don’t even know if they’re a man or a woman anymore. You don’t find a lot of masculine men anymore when I grew up men were masculine they knew who they were now they don’t know if they want to wear a skirt or pants. I’m just telling you the truth because of what’s going on in America you see and the church not teaching the word of God. God created a man to fight wars God created a man to stand in conflicts he didn’t create men to cry in conflicts he created men to confront conflicts. That’s Bible folks.

▶ 10:15 He created man a certain way and he created women a certain way and we need the women being women in that right. So a lot of marriages I mean what does a good person do it’s difficult to find I I I try to imagine myself trying to find a spouse and this generation wow. And the churches aren’t teaching men to be men most churches aren’t they’re just flattered you you know that’s true they make if you felt good when you went into church you felt good when you left no conviction no change nothing you went in the same way that you came out. And you get married that house falls apart that’s why we have so many dysfunctional homes so many kids being born the parents don’t want them a kingdom.

▶ 11:15 America right now is divided. We are fifty two or three percent liberal progressive. People and the rest are kind of conservative Christian people. Are you there we’re divided. And I. People don’t want to hear you talk about politics but yet government is the third most talked about topic in the Bible and honestly I want my nation’s government to be right because I want my children and my grandkids and my great-grandkids to have a nation to live in where they can live rightly worship their God and be who the Bible said to be could that be an amen and folks I’ve read these people’s books they’re after your kids.

▶ 12:18 The socialists the communists the same sex group activists they’re after your kids and they want sex with your kids by eight years old they’re pushing for 12 right now but they’re headed down for eight and I told you that decades ago that’s their goal and that’s why sending your kids to public school is very dangerous they get their minds forked and and and and they’re taught against the home’s values are you with me this is a serious thing kids are serious thing maybe you’re comfortable where you’re at adult but what about your children and your grandchildren and your great grandchildren do you want them to grow up in a nation where they can serve God and live right without any problem amen. And. Jesus is right and even famous politicians in history said America will never be defeated from outward it will be defeated from within and that’s what’s happening.

▶ 13:24 Could that be any man. And. Satan divided against himself of course cannot stand he’s not going to cast out his on demons that’s ridiculous now. So you got that picture right big crowd what was going on and he kept control the whole time and it’s important about those women those women for three and a half years took care of Jesus Christ and it was different women because they he went different places are you there in other words when you preach the gospel of God’s way he will provide won’t be no gold-plated chariot won’t be the hilton end or whatever but you’ll have food clothing and shelter could that be an amen yes.

▶ 14:17 So we go to Ephesians 4:3 and the Bible says labor to keep the unity of the spirit and the bond of peace now please get this. Unity of the spirit God the Bible says is spirit in that right okay keep the unity of God in that right the word my words Jesus said our spirit and they are life is God’s word spirit is all the Old Testament inspired by the spirit of God yes so the word of God is spirit and the spirit is spirit. The Holy Spirit is spirit it’s God’s spirit okay so the unity of the spirit the unity of God the unity a word in the bond of peace the glue the bonding of peace peace is the absence of conflict.

▶ 15:14 Stop fighting with yourself stop fighting with God stop fighting among yourselves and keep the unity of the word the unity of God and the unity of the spirit are you with me. Does that sound like a good commandment yeah don’t let people divide your family don’t you divide your family don’t you divide the church don’t you divide the nation. Unify it and God’s word is truth God’s word is righteous its unified around truth and right. We don’t have to keep agree disagreeing agreeably we can agree and come in unity could that be an amen is Jesus power is his blood that powerful absolutely.

▶ 16:09 So. We go back to verse one I beseech you to walk worthy of the calling the invitation God invited you see God invited you I used to say oh I came to Jesus and one day God woke me up saying come to me at all I. Drew you to me I did everything and all you did was respond and that’s all we can do. Amen so I got a walk worthy of the invitation and that is a being a light to the world that they see my good works and bring honor to my father in heaven is that an amen it’s that simple with all humility meekness patience forbearance and one another in love these are five fruits of the nine fruits of the spirit did you notice that.

▶ 17:10 And I’ve been telling you for decades the fruit of the spirit is more important than the gifts of the spirit. Yes love is the first fruit of the spirit joy and peace peace is already mentioned down here so that’s the sixth one and then humility you know people are going to talk about you people are going to call you names and everything. You’re gonna be humiliated by people so ghetto for it just be humble and don’t respond in the manner they are treating you. Could that be an amen these are just simple things in the Bible meekness is just kindness be kind you know you don’t have to go around with a chip on your shoulder.

▶ 18:02 Be kind and be patient with yourself and pace it with others especially new believers be patient with them they’re gonna be sinning. They’re gonna drop off these things one by one little by little don’t expect them to be mature Christians overnight Jesus gave the fruitless tree three years and one more didn’t it didn’t he we got to be patient with people and patient with yourself you know some of us want to grow so fast you know we want the microwave in stuff and God has a process and I didn’t like his process man if I was God I’d have made it a lot faster but in the end he knew what he was doing. Are you with me you see we need forbearance or temperance standing in there no matter what you’re consistent no matter what comes your way there’s no wavering.

▶ 19:08 With one another is that great advice for every church member and every church yes absolutely laboring to keep the unit of the spirit as the next verse which we covered now you’ve got to work at it I’m on the internet a lot this was the last few weeks and they all talk about no works no works no work no works I go God what Bible you reading you’re not gonna turn anything in God if you don’t put some effort into it it’s not going to happen and he says if you want unity you’re gonna have to what work at it how by being humble by being kind by being patient but heaven temperance to stand in there and by loving you got to do it you can’t come to church inspect everybody to do things for you you got to bring something to church well that was good and what can you bring you can bring humility meekness patience forbearance and love you can bring it and you can love new believers and and and you know people going through different things and all that you don’t have to just come and hear a sermon there is one body one spirit.

▶ 20:30 Even as you are called in one hope and you’re calling so there’s one hope one spirit one body which is the church okay. There is one Lord one faith one baptism one God and father of us all who is above all he’s above Christ he’s above the angels he’s above us through all and in you all does the Bible say you are the temple of God and the spirit of God dwells in you absolutely when you accept Christ God comes and dwells in you come baptism of Holy Ghost totally different thing now. 1 1 1. Let’s see how this works.

▶ 21:23 The body is 1 the church is one has many members see I have a body and my fingers do a lot for my body but without my arm my torso my neck to my brain that hand is worthless that hand is not going to do anything do you guys understand that I. Got feet and they can get me places but without my calf my side my torso my neck on my head with my brain my feets aren’t gonna take me anywhere they’re just feet sitting in there see we need each other and don’t ever think because you’re not the active part of the body that you’re not important you are because the active part can do nothing without the other part and it’s a great illustration that God gives all through his work you are important blake made that very clear Friday night you are important to God amen.

▶ 22:28 Now. So also is Christ see Christ has some members also it’s called the father and the Holy Spirit amen. All right for by one spirit we are all baptized into one body that’s the church whether we be Jews or Gentiles there’s no mexican Bible there’s no asian Bible there’s no Jew by but there is one Bible and it’s for all people can I hear an amen now. Whether you be Jew or Gentile bond or free and have been all made to pertain to one spirit all made to drink into one spirit now we just illustrate to you we got God remember he’s above all we just read it we got God up here one God he’s called the Lord and he’s called the father and the agent of day there’s other names for him then we got Jesus he’s called the Lord David said the Lord said to my Lord God said to Jesus sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool alright.

▶ 23:49 He’s called the Christ he’s the messiah he’s the son of God he’s the king he’s the mediator and you know immanuel God with us he’s got all kinds of names Jesus does and then you got the spirit which we also found the word is spirit folks do you get it there is one God say it one God and he manifest himself. His Holy Spirit by Jesus in the flesh God in the flesh did Jesus say the works that I do it’s the father in me that does them okay he was God folks don’t you get it he was God in a human body and they are one God don’t let these people tell you that the trinity means that there’s three different God it is just trying to to illustrate that God expresses himself three different ways can I hear an amen he knows who he is you can call him Jesus you can call him God you can call him the Holy Ghost he’ll talk to you he’s not confused we’re confused.

▶ 25:11 Some people won’t do anything instead it under name of Jesus some people won’t do anything unless it’s in the name of the father sent no holy God they cover all bases. Hallelujah some people are afraid to worship the spirit the Holy Spirit and then they write songs Holy Spirit you are welcome in this place. They say don’t worship him and then we do but he’s God why not. Ally. He’s God he’s not you call him what you want you can call Jesus emmanuel you can call him the savior he knows who he is he’ll call he’ll talk back to you he is not worried if you got every detail down.

▶ 26:04 Amen. There’s one God. See this one spirit God is spirit God was in Jesus in the flesh and God sent his Holy Spirit his own spirit to work in the air there is one spirit one God expressed three ways do we get it hallelujah now. God and at first and first Corinthians said he’s over Jesus Jesus in the flesh member that’s a fleshly body that rose from the grave that is up in heaven right now and that fleshly body is what’s coming back for us and we’re gonna recognize him because of that body with all its scars with its wounds we’re gonna know this is Jesus.

▶ 26:59 Amen all your photos have been coming back all handsome and radiant and everything know he’s coming back like he left and we all know the nail scars [unclear] side by the beaten body the scars amen and we’re not going to be fighting when he comes back about who’s right about the second coming we’re going to be excited about him coming we’re gonna be looking to him who cares if we miss the second comings. Diagram and and so forth when he comes we’re gonna love him amen and the second coming is about him it’s not about these prophets diagrams and and predictions it’s about him so. Jesus is head of the body the church one body one church there’s one hope there’s one baptism and there’s one faith then you look at American church we got thousands of churches that fight with each other who’s right am I right.

▶ 28:12 Everyone I’m telling everybody they’re the one we got it right that church down the roads wrong and he says there’s what how many churches one when are we gonna grow up realize that. One baptism I’m talking with people that are saying that stupid argument baptism is a symbolic outward symbol of an inward work I go work in the world do you get that in the Bible baptism is an inward work killing the old man of sin and giving you a man of righteousness in that what Romans 6 says in that walk Romans 6 says yes. His baptism part of the redemption yes it is and Acts 2 it says repent and be baptized every one of you for the remission of sin repent be baptized duh.

▶ 29:12 Are you with me church it’s that simple this gospel is simple don’t make it complex and then they say baptisms not necessary that is the most dumbest thing I ever seen mother Jesus Christ himself got baptized and people are saying it’s not no sir. Jesus did it and it’s not he’s doing things that are not necessary doesn’t make sense and then faith we got thousands of faith my faith my faith my faith everybody said I believe I mean ii hear that I believe I really it doesn’t matter what you believe it’s do you believe what he believes could that be any man now. Let’s go to this last one hope hope is expectation expecting God to do what he promised to do how many expect God to give you eternal life yeah he promised it he’s going to back it up alright how many expect God to finish the good work that he began in you yes he promised that that’s our hope you see when we mess up he picks us up amen.

▶ 30:31 But people say that the church will never come into unity does that sound like hope when Jesus prayed about unity when the Bible speaks that the that the watchmen will see eye to eye when I build again Zion they say not will never happen and they say that because they look at the church today can he change all that before he comes he had yes he’s that supernatural he’s that powerful and you can hope for that a glorious church without spot or wrinkle he’s coming back or are we that today we no we’re not I mean there is ridiculous things going on in the name of Jesus Christ. But we have the hope that he will bring us before he comes to a church without spot or wrinkle a bride prepared for her husband amen that’s his promise the great harvest in Revelation 7 it says there’s an unknowable company of people up in heaven that are worshiping the land and they come out of the great tribulation the great tribulation they came out of which everybody in America almost sixty seventy percent are saying we aren’t going to go through the tribulation and yet in Revelations he says there’s an innumerable company of people that come out of the great tribulation.

▶ 31:54 Hmm are you there and then you go to Matthew 24 and it says there will be a great tribulation which has not happened since the beginning of time then it goes on to read after the tribulation you will see the signs of the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven after all the tribulation and this group in Revelation 7 comes out of the great tribulation there’s a harvest coming folks that’s gonna supersede any harvest we’ve ever had because the land is gonna do a tremendous work in the earth and then all Israel be saved you know the Bible says all Israel will be saved and God said this is my covenant with them and we’re all excited about Israel becoming a nation but that isn’t God’s ultimate goal God’s ultimate goal is they get saved by recognizing Jesus the messiah are they today no.

▶ 32:57 We have hope that they will because every prophecy must be fulfilled are you is me is there giving you some hope are you getting some expectation today. Hallelujah are God’s a big God and then you got the word preached as a testimony yes the word of God has gone through all nations but not as a testimony not with signs and wonders following and he said he’ll do it through the whole earth I may want to see that happen amen and then. He says he’s going to pour out his spirit on all flesh we had the Holy Ghost filled and started in the ukraine is the first people I can find that really got baptized with the Holy Ghost with the gifts working and then azusa street thousands more came and it spread throughout the world and grew and then forty-eight tens of thousands more came but folks haven’t even oh that’s not the whole earth.

▶ 34:01 There’s got to be another visitation. Where he does it throughout the whole world is he interested in every island every nation every body every culture every color of skin yes he is. And the restoration of all things the Bible says plainly it’s plain english Jesus will remain in the heavens until the restoration of all things hello. He can’t come until everything has been restored. Is that scriptural is it restored yet no do we have the hope do we have the expectation yes the church is leaving this earth victorious folks a bride.

▶ 34:54 Who’s made herself ready for the coming of their husband and a husband that has revealed himself mightily in the earth and reaped a tremendous harvest unity is important. We need to get to the place where we agree that’s being in unity when we disagree agreeably that’s good but that’s a false harmony you see it’s not a real harmony but it’s a workable harmony and if we have to force people to agree with us then that is a conflict which will erupt in a war and that will divide families that will divide nations and that will divide churches and God wants us to be in unity out of John 17 father make them one as you and I are one this is the lord’s prayer his prayer was to make us one do you think God who prayed this prayer in Jesus is going to fulfill that why else would he pray it is he just shooting off words no has he fulfilled it yet in the early church but not since.

▶ 36:17 And what will happen if we get unity look at this be look at this the reward is of a world will believe that you have sent me and love them the world will know you have sent me and love them does the world need to know they love God loves them besides us telling God loves you yeah the world is sick of hearing that they need to see us in unity and then they’ll say what wow I took God. If God loves them like that he must love me.
