so love and truth if I can extract so love and truth if I can extract something from what I was going to share something from what I was going to share something from what I was going to share uh in full uh in full uh in full today I would quickly review and then today I would quickly review and then today I would quickly review and then point to something that's important as point to something that's important as point to something that's important as we are believers developing in faith I we are believers developing in faith I we are believers developing in faith I would refer you to the book of second would refer you to the book of second would refer you to the book of second Peter chapter 1 then I'll talk about Peter chapter 1 then I'll talk about Peter chapter 1 then I'll talk about what specific what specific what specific verses I'd like to review with you CCC verses I'd like to review with you CCC verses I'd like to review with you CCC is a teaching church I'm going try that is a teaching church I'm going try that is a teaching church I'm going try that again this is a Teaching Ministry not again this is a Teaching Ministry not again this is a Teaching Ministry not that all churches don't teach what we're that all churches don't teach what we're that all churches don't teach what we're saying is our emphasis is on teaching as saying is our emphasis is on teaching as saying is our emphasis is on teaching as the the the foundational uh as a foundation for foundational uh as a foundation for foundational uh as a foundation for developing as a disciple of Jesus developing as a disciple of Jesus developing as a disciple of Jesus Christ scripture says you'll be Christ scripture says you'll be Christ scripture says you'll be transformed by the renewing of your mind transformed by the renewing of your mind transformed by the renewing of your mind right be not conformed to this world but right be not conformed to this world but right be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your be transformed by the renewing of your be transformed by the renewing of your mind so the mind the intellect how you mind so the mind the intellect how you mind so the mind the intellect how you think because the quality of your think because the quality of your think because the quality of your thinking determines the quality of your thinking determines the quality of your thinking determines the quality of your life right so we emphasize the life right so we emphasize the life right so we emphasize the foundation of developing ourselves in foundation of developing ourselves in foundation of developing ourselves in knowledge and understanding so it's a knowledge and understanding so it's a knowledge and understanding so it's a Teaching Ministry because we emphasize Teaching Ministry because we emphasize Teaching Ministry because we emphasize teaching worship is important and we teaching worship is important and we teaching worship is important and we emphasize worship as well but the emphasize worship as well but the emphasize worship as well but the character of our church is to empower

character of our church is to empower character of our church is to empower you to think better because Paul the you to think better because Paul the you to think better because Paul the Apostle Paul also says in that same text Apostle Paul also says in that same text Apostle Paul also says in that same text in Romans that it is only when your mind in Romans that it is only when your mind in Romans that it is only when your mind is renewed can you really affirm and is renewed can you really affirm and is renewed can you really affirm and prove and give evidence to the good prove and give evidence to the good prove and give evidence to the good perfect will of God right to the perfect will of God right to the perfect will of God right to the acceptable will of God so the will of acceptable will of God so the will of acceptable will of God so the will of God in order to be evidenced in your God in order to be evidenced in your God in order to be evidenced in your life requires your mind to be changed to life requires your mind to be changed to life requires your mind to be changed to be be be transformed it's so important so it's a transformed it's so important so it's a transformed it's so important so it's a Teaching Ministry when I get up on a Teaching Ministry when I get up on a Teaching Ministry when I get up on a Sunday I'm not just giving you a Sunday I'm not just giving you a Sunday I'm not just giving you a three-point sermon but I'm shepherding three-point sermon but I'm shepherding three-point sermon but I'm shepherding you informing you and engaging in you informing you and engaging in you informing you and engaging in transformation inculcating certain ideas transformation inculcating certain ideas transformation inculcating certain ideas and values that we hold here at CCC that and values that we hold here at CCC that and values that we hold here at CCC that are towards your spiritual growth and are towards your spiritual growth and are towards your spiritual growth and development here you come to learn grow development here you come to learn grow development here you come to learn grow and Lead and Lead and Lead I'm TR say that again here you come to I'm TR say that again here you come to I'm TR say that again here you come to learn to grow and to lead I love what learn to grow and to lead I love what learn to grow and to lead I love what was said and Pastor Jamal reemphasized was said and Pastor Jamal reemphasized was said and Pastor Jamal reemphasized it you are the captain of your ship on it you are the captain of your ship on it you are the captain of your ship on now amen God Gave You Free Will he works now amen God Gave You Free Will he works now amen God Gave You Free Will he works with that Free Will agency but he's with that Free Will agency but he's with that Free Will agency but he's given you the responsibility and given you the responsibility and given you the responsibility and authority to make moral authority to make moral authority to make moral choices you're the captain of your ship choices you're the captain of your ship choices you're the captain of your ship so you want to be informed you want to so you want to be informed you want to so you want to be informed you want to be uh sharp in what you do to lead your be uh sharp in what you do to lead your be uh sharp in what you do to lead your life and take responsibility for your life and take responsibility for your life and take responsibility for your life so he gives us his word his spirit

life so he gives us his word his spirit life so he gives us his word his spirit and Community but his word is critical and Community but his word is critical and Community but his word is critical his word is critical what did Jesus use his word is critical what did Jesus use his word is critical what did Jesus use when he responded to The Temptations in when he responded to The Temptations in when he responded to The Temptations in the wilderness he used a what the word the wilderness he used a what the word the wilderness he used a what the word of God and you can't know one verse cuz of God and you can't know one verse cuz of God and you can't know one verse cuz the devil threw one at the devil threw one at the devil threw one at him you can't live your life on Psalms him you can't live your life on Psalms him you can't live your life on Psalms and and and Proverbs you need to grow so we're here Proverbs you need to grow so we're here Proverbs you need to grow so we're here to learn grow and Lead we're here to do to learn grow and Lead we're here to do to learn grow and Lead we're here to do what learn grow and Lead that is the what learn grow and Lead that is the what learn grow and Lead that is the that is the essence of what we do here that is the essence of what we do here that is the essence of what we do here at Christian cultural center and when we at Christian cultural center and when we at Christian cultural center and when we say lead lead your life begins with your say lead lead your life begins with your say lead lead your life begins with your personal life right to lead it because personal life right to lead it because personal life right to lead it because either you will lead or life is going to either you will lead or life is going to either you will lead or life is going to lead you and if life leads you you may lead you and if life leads you you may lead you and if life leads you you may not end up where you want to end up in not end up where you want to end up in not end up where you want to end up in fact you probably will end up where you fact you probably will end up where you fact you probably will end up where you don't want to end up so you have to take don't want to end up so you have to take don't want to end up so you have to take charge you have to lead and of course in charge you have to lead and of course in charge you have to lead and of course in conjunction with the wisdom of God the conjunction with the wisdom of God the conjunction with the wisdom of God the word of God the spirit of God but then word of God the spirit of God but then word of God the spirit of God but then you have a responsibility to lead others you have a responsibility to lead others you have a responsibility to lead others in some context in some relationship so in some context in some relationship so in some context in some relationship so whether it's leading in thought leading whether it's leading in thought leading whether it's leading in thought leading in Industry leading in a particular in Industry leading in a particular in Industry leading in a particular institution leading in some context all institution leading in some context all institution leading in some context all right you bring something different to right you bring something different to right you bring something different to the equation because of your the equation because of your the equation because of your relationship with Jesus Jesus says in relationship with Jesus Jesus says in relationship with Jesus Jesus says in John 14:6 I am the way John 14:6 I am the way John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life what did he say I the truth and the life what did he say I the truth and the life what did he say I am the what the way the truth and the

am the what the way the truth and the am the what the way the truth and the life so if you love Jesus you've got to life so if you love Jesus you've got to life so if you love Jesus you've got to love his way of doing and being if you claim to love Jesus you've being if you claim to love Jesus you've got to love his got to love his got to love his way even if you don't agree with it way even if you don't agree with it way even if you don't agree with it because you don't understand it because because you don't understand it because because you don't understand it because usually disagreement with Jesus's way is usually disagreement with Jesus's way is usually disagreement with Jesus's way is because you just don't understand so it because you just don't understand so it because you just don't understand so it takes time time to grow in understanding takes time time to grow in understanding takes time time to grow in understanding and I revisit texts that puzzled me at and I revisit texts that puzzled me at and I revisit texts that puzzled me at one time now they make absolute sense one time now they make absolute sense one time now they make absolute sense anybody else ever experienced that yeah anybody else ever experienced that yeah anybody else ever experienced that yeah passage like wait what and then after I passage like wait what and then after I passage like wait what and then after I grow and mature and experience God and grow and mature and experience God and grow and mature and experience God and experience life in God all of a sudden experience life in God all of a sudden experience life in God all of a sudden that makes a lot of sense so if you love that makes a lot of sense so if you love that makes a lot of sense so if you love Jesus you've got to love his way of Jesus you've got to love his way of Jesus you've got to love his way of doing and being if you love Jesus you doing and being if you love Jesus you doing and being if you love Jesus you got to love truth he said I am the way got to love truth he said I am the way got to love truth he said I am the way the truth and the life right so you've the truth and the life right so you've the truth and the life right so you've got to love his way you've got to love got to love his way you've got to love got to love his way you've got to love truth you've got to love truth and when truth you've got to love truth and when truth you've got to love truth and when you love something you de you're devoted you love something you de you're devoted you love something you de you're devoted to it whatever you love you prioritize to it whatever you love you prioritize to it whatever you love you prioritize I'm going try that one more time I'm going try that one more time I'm going try that one more time whatever you love you prioritize whatever you love you prioritize whatever you love you prioritize whatever you love you prioritize whatever you love you prioritize whatever you love you prioritize whatever you love you prioritize where whatever you love you prioritize where whatever you love you prioritize where did I get such wisdom my wife what was she referring to her what was she referring to her husband her husband's prioritization of husband her husband's prioritization of husband her husband's prioritization of her in his her in his her in his life value whatever you love you

word if you continue continue means to word if you continue continue means to abide to find it as your resting place abide to find it as your resting place abide to find it as your resting place to be fully committed to it under every to be fully committed to it under every to be fully committed to it under every circumstance or situation if you abide circumstance or situation if you abide circumstance or situation if you abide in me right in my word in my word he his in me right in my word in my word he his in me right in my word in my word he his word are one word are one word are one said if you continue or abide in my word said if you continue or abide in my word said if you continue or abide in my word then are you my disciples then are you my disciples then are you my disciples indeed the benefit of abiding in his indeed the benefit of abiding in his indeed the benefit of abiding in his word spending time in relationship with word spending time in relationship with word spending time in relationship with her his word researching that word her his word researching that word her his word researching that word seeking that word praying that word seeking that word praying that word seeking that word praying that word studying that word reflecting on that studying that word reflecting on that studying that word reflecting on that word contemplating that word on and on word contemplating that word on and on word contemplating that word on and on and and and on he said the result of on he said the result of on he said the result of that the result of that is freedom he said you'll freedom he said you'll know know know truth and truth and truth and truth will set you free you'll know what truth will set you free you'll know what truth will set you free you'll know what truth and what does truth truth and what does truth truth and what does truth do it liberates do it liberates do it liberates you I didn't say it's going to make you you I didn't say it's going to make you you I didn't say it's going to make you feel feel feel good cuz sometimes truth is hard good cuz sometimes truth is hard good cuz sometimes truth is hard difficult you've got to wrestle through difficult you've got to wrestle through difficult you've got to wrestle through it and there are times I don't know if it and there are times I don't know if it and there are times I don't know if you ever been there but I've been here you ever been there but I've been here you ever been there but I've been here where I don't want to where I don't want to where I don't want to know have you ever been there I know know have you ever been there I know know have you ever been there I know it'll Set Me Free but I don't want to it'll Set Me Free but I don't want to it'll Set Me Free but I don't want to know what was I saying not that I didn't

know what was I saying not that I didn't know what was I saying not that I didn't want to know I wasn't ready because I want to know I wasn't ready because I want to know I wasn't ready because I was concerned about how it affect me was concerned about how it affect me was concerned about how it affect me mentally emotionally and I'm wondering mentally emotionally and I'm wondering mentally emotionally and I'm wondering am I prepared for the truth that you am I prepared for the truth that you am I prepared for the truth that you want to share with me been there that's want to share with me been there that's want to share with me been there that's why coming into truth is a process he why coming into truth is a process he why coming into truth is a process he said when the Holy Spirit comes he will said when the Holy Spirit comes he will said when the Holy Spirit comes he will lead you and guide you lead you and guide you lead you and guide you into truth so coming to a place of Truth is a truth so coming to a place of Truth is a process often because if we're not ready process often because if we're not ready process often because if we're not ready for that truth we're going to reject it for that truth we're going to reject it for that truth we're going to reject it yeah that's why when you are inspired to yeah that's why when you are inspired to yeah that's why when you are inspired to share truth with someone the first share truth with someone the first share truth with someone the first question you have to ask are they ready question you have to ask are they ready question you have to ask are they ready for for for it cuz it may be Noble on your part that it cuz it may be Noble on your part that it cuz it may be Noble on your part that you're going to give them the truth but you're going to give them the truth but you're going to give them the truth but it's going to fall on deaf ears if their it's going to fall on deaf ears if their it's going to fall on deaf ears if their heart is not open to heart is not open to heart is not open to it that's why the Bible says speak the it that's why the Bible says speak the it that's why the Bible says speak the truth in love because that should be the truth in love because that should be the truth in love because that should be the spirit in which you give truth not in spirit in which you give truth not in spirit in which you give truth not in Anger not in Revenge not not in Anger not in Revenge not not in Anger not in Revenge not not in accusation or judgment but in what love accusation or judgment but in what love accusation or judgment but in what love and love means you're seeking the best and love means you're seeking the best and love means you're seeking the best interest of the individual that you are interest of the individual that you are interest of the individual that you are giving truth to turn your neighbor say giving truth to turn your neighbor say giving truth to turn your neighbor say he's talking all about you this morning so truth leads to what

saying this is the way I would like to saying this is the way I would like to identify as a human being as though identify as a human being as though identify as a human being as though identity is identity is identity is fluid which means can choose whatever I fluid which means can choose whatever I fluid which means can choose whatever I want and it should be okay which is a want and it should be okay which is a want and it should be okay which is a push back against divine order the push back against divine order the push back against divine order the universe has been ordered for universe has been ordered for universe has been ordered for flourishing and success we can't think flourishing and success we can't think flourishing and success we can't think we're all that smart to come along and we're all that smart to come along and we're all that smart to come along and decide we're going to change it and make decide we're going to change it and make decide we're going to change it and make it better than the way God designed it better than the way God designed it better than the way God designed it but you know those humans but this is what we do so we humans but this is what we do so we challenge his authority we challenge his challenge his authority we challenge his challenge his authority we challenge his order right we challenge his authority order right we challenge his authority order right we challenge his authority we challenge his we challenge his we challenge his order and we want to introduce our own order and we want to introduce our own order and we want to introduce our own interpretation of interpretation of interpretation of reality we want to determine what's real reality we want to determine what's real reality we want to determine what's real and what's not and what's not and what's not real and let me say something you've got real and let me say something you've got real and let me say something you've got to be careful when you interpret your to be careful when you interpret your to be careful when you interpret your feelings as real because we'd all be in feelings as real because we'd all be in feelings as real because we'd all be in jail and According To Jesus minus one jail and According To Jesus minus one jail and According To Jesus minus one hand one eye hand one eye hand one eye right so just because I feel something right so just because I feel something right so just because I feel something doesn't legitimize it my feelings must doesn't legitimize it my feelings must doesn't legitimize it my feelings must be be be tested it's true in the realm of spirit tested it's true in the realm of spirit tested it's true in the realm of spirit that if you experience something that if you experience something that if you experience something spiritually it must be judged it must be spiritually it must be judged it must be spiritually it must be judged it must be tested first John says try try the tested first John says try try the tested first John says try try the spirits make sure that you're Discerning spirits make sure that you're Discerning spirits make sure that you're Discerning and understanding so the first thing

and understanding so the first thing and understanding so the first thing you're free from is sin but what do I you're free from is sin but what do I you're free from is sin but what do I mean by that I'm glad you asked I want mean by that I'm glad you asked I want mean by that I'm glad you asked I want you to look at you to look at you to look at sin in this way you sin in this way you sin in this way you ready it ready it ready it is those is those is those things that Rob you of the divine things that Rob you of the divine things that Rob you of the divine nature in the image of nature in the image of nature in the image of God I'm going try that one more time God I'm going try that one more time God I'm going try that one more time sin is those things that Rob you of your sin is those things that Rob you of your sin is those things that Rob you of your divine nature divine nature divine nature the the the godlikeness that is in you the image of godlikeness that is in you the image of godlikeness that is in you the image of God that is stamped on every human being God that is stamped on every human being God that is stamped on every human being that's what the devil was that's what the devil was that's what the devil was after to Rob Adam and Eve Rob Humanity after to Rob Adam and Eve Rob Humanity after to Rob Adam and Eve Rob Humanity of all those things that make us like of all those things that make us like of all those things that make us like God like our heavenly father because our God like our heavenly father because our God like our heavenly father because our likeness gives evidence of relationship likeness gives evidence of relationship likeness gives evidence of relationship I'm going to try that one more time our I'm going to try that one more time our I'm going to try that one more time our likeness gives evidence of likeness gives evidence of likeness gives evidence of relationship when someone says it in a relationship when someone says it in a relationship when someone says it in a good way or even in a bad way you are good way or even in a bad way you are good way or even in a bad way you are just like your just like your just like your father how many know what I'm talking father how many know what I'm talking father how many know what I'm talking about what what are they saying whatever about what what are they saying whatever about what what are they saying whatever it is that we're doing or saying right it is that we're doing or saying right it is that we're doing or saying right is giving evidence of a relationship

is giving evidence of a relationship is giving evidence of a relationship that we have and so it is with God so that we have and so it is with God so that we have and so it is with God so either we give evidence either we give evidence either we give evidence of our Union with God in his divinity of our Union with God in his divinity of our Union with God in his divinity right that he shares with us or we're right that he shares with us or we're right that he shares with us or we're giving evidence that we're fallen and giving evidence that we're fallen and giving evidence that we're fallen and alienated from God and that's how alienated from God and that's how alienated from God and that's how Society breaks down that's how Humanity Society breaks down that's how Humanity Society breaks down that's how Humanity breaks down so when you think of breaks down so when you think of breaks down so when you think of sin just think of all of those things sin just think of all of those things sin just think of all of those things that are unlike your heavenly that are unlike your heavenly that are unlike your heavenly father hello amen father hello amen father hello amen and if you don't know what he's like and if you don't know what he's like and if you don't know what he's like that's why you got to study the that's why you got to study the that's why you got to study the scripture that's why you got to abide in scripture that's why you got to abide in scripture that's why you got to abide in the word because the word Reveals His the word because the word Reveals His the word because the word Reveals His nature the word Reveals His character nature the word Reveals His character nature the word Reveals His character how do I know that God is love besides how do I know that God is love besides how do I know that God is love besides what I've what I've what I've experienced what I know from revealed experienced what I know from revealed experienced what I know from revealed truth in scripture and then what I can truth in scripture and then what I can truth in scripture and then what I can deduce by human reasoning by seeing how deduce by human reasoning by seeing how deduce by human reasoning by seeing how humanity is organized just for the humanity is organized just for the humanity is organized just for the flourishing of human beings everything flourishing of human beings everything flourishing of human beings everything in the world is designed so that you and in the world is designed so that you and in the world is designed so that you and I can flourish we come along and mess it I can flourish we come along and mess it I can flourish we come along and mess it up how many know everything was fine up how many know everything was fine up how many know everything was fine until God until God until God created male and female Adam and Eve man created male and female Adam and Eve man created male and female Adam and Eve man and woman this look one chapter later and woman this look one chapter later and woman this look one chapter later boom tell your neighbors your neighbor boom tell your neighbors your neighbor boom tell your neighbors your neighbor only takes us a chapter to mess up and what is true biblically is true

up and what is true biblically is true for your life just one chapter of your for your life just one chapter of your for your life just one chapter of your life life life can send your whole life spitting out of can send your whole life spitting out of can send your whole life spitting out of orbit so when you think of sin in the orbit so when you think of sin in the orbit so when you think of sin in the context of what I'm sharing with you all context of what I'm sharing with you all context of what I'm sharing with you all right you think of anything right you think of anything right you think of anything anything anything that robs you of your anything anything that robs you of your anything anything that robs you of your divine nature robs you of the image of divine nature robs you of the image of divine nature robs you of the image of your heavenly father in you a moment of your heavenly father in you a moment of your heavenly father in you a moment of anger come on isn't it true fear fear anxiety all of those human emotions are anxiety all of those human emotions are anxiety all of those human emotions are there to rob you so truth as you spend there to rob you so truth as you spend there to rob you so truth as you spend time in the word of God you're exposed time in the word of God you're exposed time in the word of God you're exposed to truth and truth does what it sets you to truth and truth does what it sets you to truth and truth does what it sets you free the next thing is deception and I made it deception and I made it plural Deception comes in many different plural Deception comes in many different plural Deception comes in many different forms it can come forms it can come forms it can come culturally if you grow up in a context that have been shaped and formed context that have been shaped and formed and fashioned by certain deceptions and fashioned by certain deceptions and fashioned by certain deceptions about identity about purpose about about identity about purpose about about identity about purpose about status about life can you imagine if you status about life can you imagine if you status about life can you imagine if you grow up in a in in in in a in a social grow up in a in in in in a in a social grow up in a in in in in a in a social or family context that suffers from low

because of all these because of all these layers and we what the word of God help layers and we what the word of God help layers and we what the word of God help us do is to remove the come on to peel us do is to remove the come on to peel us do is to remove the come on to peel back the layers especially the layers in my own layers especially the layers in my own life because I've been layered by life because I've been layered by life because I've been layered by experiences culture societal systems and experiences culture societal systems and experiences culture societal systems and structures and policies and identities structures and policies and identities structures and policies and identities all of this stuff coming at me telling all of this stuff coming at me telling all of this stuff coming at me telling me who I am and who I'm me who I am and who I'm me who I am and who I'm not that's why when Adam and Eve sinned not that's why when Adam and Eve sinned not that's why when Adam and Eve sinned and they began to hide because they were and they began to hide because they were and they began to hide because they were afraid what did God ask afraid what did God ask afraid what did God ask they their response they their response they their response was we hit was we hit was we hit ourselves because we were they an ourselves because we were they an ourselves because we were they an identity judgment was made a value identity judgment was made a value identity judgment was made a value judgment was made but it was based on judgment was made but it was based on judgment was made but it was based on information that they got not from God information that they got not from God information that they got not from God so he asked them who told so he asked them who told so he asked them who told you where you getting your information you where you getting your information you where you getting your information because wherever you're getting your because wherever you're getting your because wherever you're getting your information you're translating it into information you're translating it into information you're translating it into your own identity and now it has your own identity and now it has your own identity and now it has alienated ated from you that you're alienated ated from you that you're alienated ated from you that you're hiding from me that's right are you hearing right are you hearing me and you know where we are today you me and you know where we are today you me and you know where we are today you can't just watch one network you got to can't just watch one network you got to can't just watch one network you got to scan through and listen to scan through and listen to scan through and listen to six and hope you get to the truth six and hope you get to the truth six and hope you get to the truth because each network has its own slant because each network has its own slant because each network has its own slant each network is layered by its own [Music] [Music] politics so truth is even more layered

tradition I was going to mass on on on tradition I was going to mass on on on Saturdays at the Catholic Saturdays at the Catholic Saturdays at the Catholic church so I didn't encounter this God church so I didn't encounter this God church so I didn't encounter this God and by his own choosing because he knew and by his own choosing because he knew and by his own choosing because he knew he had to move me in a process to he had to move me in a process to he had to move me in a process to prepare my heart for when truth came to prepare my heart for when truth came to prepare my heart for when truth came to me and that night January 11th that he me and that night January 11th that he me and that night January 11th that he already ordained truth came number one already ordained truth came number one already ordained truth came number one the truth the primary truth was that the truth the primary truth was that the truth the primary truth was that Christ is Christ is Christ is God that Jesus was the god that I was God that Jesus was the god that I was God that Jesus was the god that I was looking for and that's important because looking for and that's important because looking for and that's important because the Incarnation look the godhead is a the Incarnation look the godhead is a the Incarnation look the godhead is a mystery father son Holy Spirit the mystery father son Holy Spirit the mystery father son Holy Spirit the Incarnation God in human form is a Incarnation God in human form is a Incarnation God in human form is a mystery but the Incarnation is the mystery but the Incarnation is the mystery but the Incarnation is the doorway that mystery is the doorway to doorway that mystery is the doorway to doorway that mystery is the doorway to the mystery of the godhead so that's why the mystery of the godhead so that's why the mystery of the godhead so that's why Jesus said you can't get to the father except through me he wasn't father except through me he wasn't wasn't talking about joining a religion wasn't talking about joining a religion wasn't talking about joining a religion he was talking about the fact that he he was talking about the fact that he he was talking about the fact that he was positioned as the full expression of the positioned as the full expression of the invisible Eternal invisible Eternal invisible Eternal God that no one knows this eternal God God that no one knows this eternal God God that no one knows this eternal God except except except him and he must reveal him so the him and he must reveal him so the him and he must reveal him so the Incarnation becomes the doorway to the Incarnation becomes the doorway to the Incarnation becomes the doorway to the next mystery the highest foundational next mystery the highest foundational next mystery the highest foundational Ministry which is God himself and that night I embraced it Jesus and

and that night I embraced it Jesus and God were one Jesus was the God chose to God were one Jesus was the God chose to God were one Jesus was the God chose to reveal himself in a way that I could reveal himself in a way that I could reveal himself in a way that I could understand a human being like me with understand a human being like me with understand a human being like me with certain characteristics that maintain certain characteristics that maintain certain characteristics that maintain humanity and the perfect union of humanity and the perfect union of humanity and the perfect union of humanity and Divinity in him was the humanity and Divinity in him was the humanity and Divinity in him was the fullness of the godhead bodily the fullness of the godhead bodily the fullness of the godhead bodily the scripture says scripture says scripture says and I encountered him the next thing I and I encountered him the next thing I and I encountered him the next thing I and my word are one so to know him is to and my word are one so to know him is to and my word are one so to know him is to know his word to know his word is to know his word to know his word is to know his word to know his word is to know him and that's when I fell in love know him and that's when I fell in love know him and that's when I fell in love with the with the with the Bible That's when I fell in love with Bible That's when I fell in love with Bible That's when I fell in love with the Bible and since then since then I've the Bible and since then since then I've the Bible and since then since then I've been abiding in that Bible but here been abiding in that Bible but here been abiding in that Bible but here going back to layered but when I came to going back to layered but when I came to going back to layered but when I came to Christ right Christ right Christ right and found like I said last week love and and found like I said last week love and and found like I said last week love and truth it was still truth it was still truth it was still layered by my own layered by my own layered by my own experiences my own circumstances and experiences my own circumstances and experiences my own circumstances and situations my own cultural influence situations my own cultural influence situations my own cultural influence family influence the influences of family influence the influences of family influence the influences of growing up the the the growing up in the growing up the the the growing up in the growing up the the the growing up in the context of of of of bford cyers and context of of of of bford cyers and context of of of of bford cyers and Brooklyn Bushwick Brooklyn Bushwick Brooklyn Bushwick Brooklyn growing up in the United States Brooklyn growing up in the United States Brooklyn growing up in the United States being born in in a different country and being born in in a different country and being born in in a different country and then coming here at a time when America then coming here at a time when America then coming here at a time when America was engaged in every Revolution

got saved I went into a an evangelical got saved I went into a an evangelical church so that was the Evangelical layer church so that was the Evangelical layer church so that was the Evangelical layer over the truth then I went into the over the truth then I went into the over the truth then I went into the Pentecostal Church as a Pentecostal Pentecostal Church as a Pentecostal Pentecostal Church as a Pentecostal layer then I was introduced to the layer then I was introduced to the layer then I was introduced to the charismatic movement another layer and charismatic movement another layer and charismatic movement another layer and then Word of Faith another layer then then Word of Faith another layer then then Word of Faith another layer then healing another layer intercession healing another layer intercession healing another layer intercession another layer the prophetic another another layer the prophetic another another layer the prophetic another layer wow the Demonic another layer wow the Demonic another layer wow the Demonic another layer so while I was pulling layers off layer so while I was pulling layers off layer so while I was pulling layers off layers were being put layers were being put layers were being put on but I many understand what I'm on but I many understand what I'm on but I many understand what I'm talking about it was a process what talking about it was a process what talking about it was a process what usually happens usually happens usually happens is if you don't understand this then you is if you don't understand this then you is if you don't understand this then you just embrace the layers and you live just embrace the layers and you live just embrace the layers and you live your whole life seeing and experiencing your whole life seeing and experiencing your whole life seeing and experiencing truth through the layers and never truth through the layers and never truth through the layers and never getting to the foundational Simple Truth getting to the foundational Simple Truth getting to the foundational Simple Truth let me give you a foundational Simple let me give you a foundational Simple let me give you a foundational Simple Truth as an example can I I give you Truth as an example can I I give you Truth as an example can I I give you that as an illustration is this making that as an illustration is this making that as an illustration is this making sense to sense to sense to [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] you let me give you a truth truth love is about love is about love is about connection and connection and connection and caring that's a simple caring that's a simple caring that's a simple truth love is about connection and truth love is about connection and truth love is about connection and caring at its core at its core that's caring at its core at its core that's caring at its core at its core that's why Jesus could say it so easily love why Jesus could say it so easily love why Jesus could say it so easily love God love neighbor he said it very very God love neighbor he said it very very God love neighbor he said it very very simple love God with all heart soul mind

simple love God with all heart soul mind simple love God with all heart soul mind and strength all of you to totality of and strength all of you to totality of and strength all of you to totality of your being love your neighbor as your being love your neighbor as your being love your neighbor as yourself so at its core love is a simple yourself so at its core love is a simple yourself so at its core love is a simple truth and emotional truth and emotional truth and emotional bond a desire to care for another individual produces a sense of individual produces a sense of connection however our Humanity our human experiences can our Humanity our human experiences can complicate this simple truth love becomes truth love becomes layered by our layered by our layered by our expectations come expectations come expectations come on you get into a love relationship you on you get into a love relationship you on you get into a love relationship you start what expecting certain start what expecting certain start what expecting certain things love becomes layered by our things love becomes layered by our things love becomes layered by our expectations it becomes layered by our expectations it becomes layered by our expectations it becomes layered by our insecurities come on isn't it true we insecurities come on isn't it true we insecurities come on isn't it true we get into a relationship and if if we're get into a relationship and if if we're get into a relationship and if if we're insecure about ourselves and insecure in insecure about ourselves and insecure in insecure about ourselves and insecure in that relationship a whole load of stuff that relationship a whole load of stuff that relationship a whole load of stuff comes in there that causes tension and comes in there that causes tension and comes in there that causes tension and anxiety and and and conflict anxiety and and and conflict anxiety and and and conflict even so it becomes layered by our even so it becomes layered by our even so it becomes layered by our expectations our expectations our expectations our insecurities it becomes layered by past insecurities it becomes layered by past insecurities it becomes layered by past traumas because if you have had a traumas because if you have had a traumas because if you have had a traumatic love relationship you go into traumatic love relationship you go into traumatic love relationship you go into a new one guess what you take the trauma a new one guess what you take the trauma a new one guess what you take the trauma with with with you and your lens colored by that trauma
