Sermon clips from DeSoto churches

51s
“That mean wherever you go, the community always respond to you. What does that mean? No matter where you go, nobody may even know you in the city. They gonna say something to you. Amen. Knowing that you are a child of god. Forget the picture. As a priest, you draw what? People with problems. Perfection draws what? Imperfection. Righteousness draws what? Unright. So no matter how holy you get, you still gonna have to deal with some curses, some shooters, and some whores. Amen. And you may as well get used to it because god does not allow you to be around here influencing nobody.”
35s
“Well, let God deal with them. Okay. You know how God chose to deal with them? You. And the only way you're going to see that is when you allow that waiting period to help you to be able to carry the weight of that anointing and that power that God has for you. The world needs you full of power, full of the anointing, and full of the love and the character of God so that we can make a difference in the world around us.”
44s
“How many of you remember the 10 commandments? What are they? Nothing but boundaries so that you don't color outside of the line. Can I get an amen? God said, when you come to know me, there ought to be some boundaries, some limitation that you are not willing to cross. Because when you cross them, there are what? Consequences. I get an amen? Now let me paint the picture for you. When Jesus before he became flesh, he was a living spirit. Right? And then he in John one fourteen, and he became flesh,”
36s
“I was once an outsider in the kingdom of god. Okay. But the blood of Jesus brought me on the inside. Amen. And what I realized is being on the inside of god's kingdom, they not like us. Because why? They are still where? In the world. And because they're in the world, they are not like us. you get the picture? And and and I'm just trying to get you to get the rhythm because they not like us.”
39s
“There's a difference between godly people and what? Worldly people. And I need you to get a grip on that. You are different. You are unique, and they are the same. Now everybody lift up your right hand. Now put your hand on top of your head and say this word with me. Homeiosis. That means what another of the same kind. Homeioiosis is another of a different kind. They not like us.”
33s
“But when we lean not to our own our own understanding and we lean on him and we stay in that place of anticipation, God begins to take all those imagined promises, all those things that we think that we are so deserving of, and maybe we are. But he begins to put them in the right place. He begins to mold our hearts in a way that we can receive all that God has for us. Amen?”
30s
“And so here at the end of the ministry of Jesus, you get then begins to speak directly into their fears with a promise. He gives them a promise, and it's both tender but yet a little elect electrifying, isn't it? I'm not always gonna be here. He tells them, I'm going to the father. I'm going to the father. But in John fourteen eighteen, he continues and he says, I'm not going to abandon you.”
33s
“We expect God to move the very moment we click the icon. If he doesn't, something's wrong. And what we really want is we wanna breakthrough without process. We want Pentecost without the upper room. We wanna get from point a to point b without the in between. But the spirit does not come on demand. He comes to hearts that are trained in holy waiting.”
30s

“You can take everything that I have, but you can't steal my joy and take my smile. I am joyful, filled, and joyful because I have Jesus in my heart and heaven on my mind. In a world filled with sickness and sadness and anger, people won't understand that. People can't understand that.”
41s
#EternalJoyAhead
“He endured the cross for the joy set before him. So it was the joy set before him. Jesus knew his sacrifice would create the opportunity for you to be free and to have the gift of grace and joy.

That should make you smile.”
