"Remember this is not spoken to unbelievers whenever you read scripture or you read Jesus speaking find out who is he speaking to did he look at his disciples and say you generation of vipers how will you escape the damnation of hell those are the words of Jesus but they were not spoken to Peter James and John they were spoken to the Pharisees so you have to see who is he speaking to then only you'll understand who the message is for." [00:00:55]
"Whenever you read many people have come to me and said brother what is the meaning of this I should read the verses before it to read the verses after it and you'll understand that meaning you don't even have to come to me but you don't read the verses before you don't read the verses after and you try to understand one verse by itself you never do that with any letter you get from anyone you never read that with a do that with a book you read." [00:03:15]
"Those whom I love I rebuke reprove and discipline that's how we hear the lord knocking you hear the Lord rebuking you reproving you and his knock will you let me come in you get offended with that rebuke that rebuke may come directly from the Lord as you read the Bible if you have been sensitive to the Lord's voice for many years you may come directly to you without the Bible or it may come to you through another servant of the Lord." [00:05:02]
"Reproof verse 19 is a proof of my love that's what I wanted you to see primarily those whom I love I reprove and rebuke I've often said there's no young man I have reproved and corrected in the world more than my four sons nobody in the world have I ever corrected as much as I corrected my four sons but I don't regret it one bit because I didn't have authority over the others." [00:06:20]
"We are more concerned about our physical health and our spiritual condition we will go to a doctor for understanding what is the problem with us but never think that her brother could perhaps show us what's wrong with us spiritually Oh No but I can take care of myself go and see all the people who treated themselves medically without consulting a doctor and see the physical condition today they are messed up their physical condition because they treated themselves." [00:08:50]
"Repentance is an axe being laid to the root it is not an external okay I've decided to stop killing people I've decided to stop picking pockets and I've decided to stop stealing I've decided to stop committing adultery that's all Old Covenant you can be a good Jew not a Christian but a Christian repentance must go to the root Lord I have lived a self-centered life I have lived for myself I want to turn from that." [00:29:26]
"Repentance means a 180 degree turn around but I need to know what I'm turning around from if some preacher tells me I would turn around from drinking getting drunk I don't need to turn around I have never got drunk in my life oh I must give up smoking I never smoked in my life so what 180 degree turn mean stealing I never stole in my life what is hundred eighty degree turn mean gamble I never gambled in my life." [00:40:00]
"Faith is that which commits yourself to that person say Lord I'm yours not just for one or two days isn't it too much to ask for the rest of my life isn't that how you got married didn't you get married and share with the rest of my life I'm committed to this person do you want to think about other people after that and wander off rather than your own adulterer adulteress you committed to one person this is faith." [00:54:18]
"When you do that it's an amazing thing that happens it happened to me 57 years ago and it happens to everyone who's really born again the spirit of Jesus Christ comes into you that's being born again the Holy Spirit comes in and you are born again now you may be filled or baptized with the Holy Spirit much later but the Spirit comes in the moment you are born again that is the proof that you're born again." [00:56:07]
"Do you want to love Jesus more than everything and every person on earth I want to say to you if not you're not repented as far as I'm concerned you haven't do you want to not have you done it or you will be able to do it do you want to want to want to do you want to treat other people the way you like to be treated yourself that's all you may not succeed in doing it for 50 years." [00:47:31]
"Repentance and faith see Paul said that in Acts chapter 20 I only show it to y'all in scripture so that you have no doubt in your mind acts 20 he said everywhere I go when he when he talks about Jews and Greeks he's saying the whole world in the Jewish mind in the Jewish mind they were only truth the groups of people in the world Jews and non-jews were called Greeks just like in many upper caste people." [00:48:23]
"Repentance and faith by itself it's no use you can have repentance by yourself you'll never be saved you can have faith by itself you'll never be saved now today unfortunately a lot of people are preaching faith by itself and that's why many people are not saved equally repentance by itself will not save people but repentance with faith and faith means more than just intellectual faith turn with me to James because we want to get faith right."
