There it is. Right there. Where is it at? Chat. There it is. Now I got both of them up. Alright. Now, I can see what y'all writing in the chat and I can see myself. Praise the lord. Alright, let's dig into this word. We still been in Easter season. Oh, we have not gotten to Pentecost yet. So, we still in Easter season here and we've been studying this word. This word of what happened on the cross Uh what our savior did for us. But now we're moving to what happened what happened as Jesus was in the tomb and what happened those next couple days after after his death on the cross. Yes, sir. He knows that. Alrighty. Alright. So, let's go y'all. Matthew twenty-8 chapter, Matthew twenty-8 chapter. Well, let me go back one. Let me go back one. This is what we left off. Let me go back one. Let me set the tone. Let me set the tone. Let me set the tone and then, alright, let's start here. Matthew 27 verse fortyseven. Let's start in just a second tunnel. Some of the people standing there, this is Matthew 2seven forty-seven. Heard Jesus and they said, he said, what? Eloy, Eloy, Lambda, Suboptony. Remember that? Eloy, Eloy, and Lam, the my god, my god, why have you forsaken me? But they heard that and they said he's calling for Elijah One of them at once ran and grabbed the sponge. He soaked it in wine. Put it on a stick. And held and held it up to Jesus. Others said, let wait, let's see if Elijah will come and save him. Once again, Jesus shouted and then he died. And and what I like what I like about the other text that says what? He gave up the ghost y'all. My goodness. Come on. He gave up the ghost. Um that shows again that the Holy Spirit was presence. Was present in this entire event. He gave up the ghost. His body was there but the spirit, spirit leaves, right? Alright, so watch this right here. At once the curtain of the temple was torn into from top to bottom, the earth shook, rock split, graves open, many of God's people were raised to life. They left their graves and after Jesus had risen to life, they went into the holy city where they were seen by many people. The officer and the soldiers guarding Jesus felt the earthquake, saw everything else that happened. They were frightened and said, this man really was god's son. My god. They testified. Many women had come with Jesus from Galilee to be of help to him and they were there looking on at a distance. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph and the mother of James and John were some of these women. That evening, a rich disciple. Somebody ought to shout that. A rich disciple. We going to claim that for you. A rich disciple named Joseph from the town of Aramathea. He went and asked for Jesus's body. Pilate gave orders for it to be given to Joseph who took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth. Hold on. I got it. Get my quote right. There we go. Then Joseph put the body in his own tomb that had been cut into solid rock. Had never been used. He rolled a big stone against the entrance to the tomb and went away. All this time Mary Magdalene and other Mary was sitting across from the tomb. Alright? On the next day, which was a Sabbath, the chief priest and the Pharisees went together to Pilate. They said, sir, we remember this liar said while he was still alive. My goodness. He claimed that in 3 days, he would come back from death. So, please order the tomb to be carefully guarded for three days. If you don't, his disciples will come and steal his body. They will tell the people that he has been raised to life. Watch this y'all. And that last lie will be worse than his first slot. Mm, mm, mm. Pilate said to them, alright, take some of your soldiers and guard the tomb as well as you know how. I like that y'all. He say what? Do the best job y'all can do. Guard it as best as y'all can. Watch this. We know what. It ain't going to work. You can have top flight security but it it ain't going to work on this tune. Alright? They sealed it tight and placed soldiers there to guard it. And so that's where we ended everybody. I want I just want to set that. That's we end it. And here we are. Resurrection morning. Matthew twenty-eight. After the Sabbath, that Saturday, at the dawn of the first day of the week, Sunday morning. Lord, have mercy. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake. Whoo. An angel of the lord came down from heaven. I want you to picture this. And going to the tomb the angel rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning. His clothes were white as snow. Watch them y'all. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook. And they became like dead men. My goodness. Whoo. I feel a sermon right there, right? So afraid you had to die. My goodness. Lord. Lord. Scared. Look. Look. Scared to death. Come on. Help me. Help me Deborah. You know I need a sermon titled that. They were scared to death. My goodness. They were so safe. So afraid. They they became like dead men. The angel said to the women, do not be afraid. I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here. Somebody ought to feel like shouting. Has risen just as he said. Here's some famous words right here y'all. Come and see the place where he lay. Whoo. My goodness. Come and see the place where he was. He is not there. Amen. He is not there. Whoo. This is where he was. He is not here. Go quickly. Tell his disciples. He he has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. Amen. So watch this. So, we we see here that when when Jesus rises, alright? He does not automatically ascend into heaven. It's some work that he does. Amen? He's risen from the dead. He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him. So, the women hurried away from the tomb. Afraid yet filled with joy. And he ran to tell his disciples. Sudden Jesus met them. Greetings, he said. They came to him, claps his feet, and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee. Then they will see me. Whoo. While the women were on their way, some of the guards, watch this now. Watch this. Some of the haters they went into the city and reported to the chief priest everything that had happened. When the chief, imagine them running back. Exactly. Yeah, y'all ain't going to believe this. Y'all ain't going to believe this. We were guarding the tomb. But the tomb has been opened. And that body is not dead. That body has risen. Whoo. Full bodily form. That body has risen from the dead. My goodness. Watch this right here. He went they went back and reported. Watch this. To the to the ones who thought they had killed Jesus. When the chief priest had met with the elders. And devised the plan. They gave the soldiers a large sum of money. Telling them. This is the you supposed to say. Watch this y'all. This the script. You supposed to say his disciples came during the night and stole his body while everybody was asleep. If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble. So the soldiers took the money and then as they were instructed, and this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day So look y'all. They got they story together. That's what we going to say. Now we going to pay y'all me some hush money. Amen. Will not be tail money because they want them to tell this story. Say that them disciples came. They stole his body. They overpowered us. They overtook us. Go tell Pilate. That's what happened. Don't tell them. Watch this. Don't tell them nothing about no angels showed up. Don't tell them that that stone was rolled away. Whoo. And don't Tell em that you know for a fact this was the son of god. Tell em somebody stole the body. Lord, have mercy. Here it is. Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee. Of course, one short because Judas was not there. They went to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him y'all, they worshiped him. My goodness. But some doubted. Hm Ain't that something? You're looking at Jesus in the flesh, risen from the grave. You saw them crucify him? And you're looking at him? Whoo. And you know the text, right? The text says what? Thomas said what? I I I doubt. Jesus said put your hands right here. You see whether where the spikes were were nailed into my hand. And feel here where they pierced me in my in my side. Put your hand in the holes Thomas. It's for real. Put your hands in the hole. But but I want to stop right now. Can can you believe that? When you see him in the flesh and he's risen. And some still doubt it. Saint saints you gotta know that that the spirit of doubt is from the enemy. Come on. Come on. Come on. Somebody say amen. The spirit of doubt. Because watch this. When you read the gifts of the spirit, Imma help somebody. When you read the gifts of the spirit, faith is a gift. And any gift you have from god, you have to cultivate that gift. Come on. Somebody say amen. I'm I'm I'm teaching now. If you have the teaching gift, guess what? You gotta practice to be a better teacher. If you got the singing gift, you gotta practice to be a better singer. If you can play an instrument, you still gotta practice on that gift to become better in. The Bible says, faith is a gift. So, guess what? You gotta practice in your faith and you gotta being stretched on how much you believe god. Somebody say amen. That's why you'll meet some people that have what? Great faith. And some people what did Jesus say? Oh you of little faith. There's some people that only got a little bit of faith. And so here it is. Watch this. Here it is. They've been walking with them. He did what he said he would do. And they still doubted him. I I want to minister that to somebody that that you have to you have to push out the spirit of doubt in your life. Spirit of doubt, the devil will bring in that spirit of doubt. God can't save you. God can't heal you. God can't deliver you. God can't bring you through. Oh, we come against the spirit of doubt. Come on. Somebody say, amen. Whoo. We believe in the spirit of faith. Our god. Ephesians 3 and twenty. He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that you can ask or think. What does that scripture mean? That scripture means, if you can think it, god can already do better than that. Come on. Somebody say amen. Listen to the scripture. Now unto him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all you can ask or even think. Another scripture says, comprehend. They say, if you can think and comprehend it, god can do above that. Come on. Somebody say amen. Whoo. Get your faith up tonight. Get your faith up tonight. Imma park here on the sidewalk for a minute. Get your faith up tonight. All we bind up the spirit of doubt. We bind it up. He's a healer. He's a deliverer. He's a way make Come on. God, he's a provider. Come on. He's my victory banner. Come on. We bind up the spirit of doubt. Whoo. Glory to god. Mm He is able to do anything but fail. Amen. I want you to see it right here. It is that spirit of doubt crept in. Whoo. Here it is. Let me keep going. I'm sorry. I got I I started preaching right now. I'm sorry. Here it is. Jesus came to them and said, here it is. All authority in heaven and on the earth and watch this. I would add and under the earth. I could add that. I explain what that mean. All authority in heaven and on earth and under the earth has been to me. He says, therefore, go make disciples of all nations. Baptizing them in the name of the father, the son, and of the Holy Spirit and then do what? And teach them to obey everything I have commanded you and surely, I I'm not going to lie. I like King James right here and low. That's King James. And low. I am with you. Always. Even to the the word. Glory to god. Alright, if you're taking notes, write this down. That's called the Great Commission. Amen? That's the great commission. That is what every church every denomination, every Christian. If you ask, what is it that Jesus commanded us to do? The great commission means when when you've been given an assignment. We could call it the great assignment. Come on. Somebody say amen. The great assignment. That's that's that's the MGV Debra. The the great assignment. What is our assignment? Here it is right here. Matthew twenty-eight, nineteen, and twenty. Therefore, he says what? Well, first, let me go back. Let me go back. Let me go back to to how he qualified. He says, all authority in heaven on the earth, and if you heard me say, and even under the earth. Amen. And the reason I say that is this right here. Saints, you gotta know this right here. A lot of people a lot of people don't understand hell And a lot of people think that hail is where Satan is in charge. That if you get you know sent to hell that you're down there and Satan is down there ruling hell. That's what that's what a lot of Christians believe and especially I think a lot of non Christians believe. That that it's fire and and Satan himself is down there ruling. Y'all that is not the case. Come on somebody say amen. Nope. Uh all authority has been given to him. Listen. In the heavenly realms in heaven. We know that. On earth. We know that. But saints listen. Even under the earth. Our god controls heaven, earth, and hell. Come on somebody say amen. I want you to get that. That's good Bible teaching. He understands. He he I I know Reverend Wolkey gave me a amen there. Yeah yeah yeah. See, watch this. Hell god doesn't send you to hell. Watch this. God doesn't send you to hell. We send ourselves to hell. Somebody say amen. See, listen. We all have a choice. We have a say except Christ and go to heaven. The Bible says that that God wishes that no person would perish. God wishes that no person would end up in hell. But he can't force us. He gives us the choice. Somebody say amen. He gives us the choice to surrender our life to him. And see watch this. That's why when we pray the prayer of salvation at the end when we say I am saved. And every saved you are to be shouting when you say that. Cuz you saying look Because of this, I made it into heaven. Because of what? This statement. This statement. This this belief that I have. And some are going to miss it. Why? Because they neglected to make this statement. They neglected to give their life to him. God didn't send you that. We choose it because we don't choose Christ. Come on. Somebody say amen. Yeah. It's like this. Heaven or hell is yours. It's up to you. But you gotta choose heaven. Amen. And that's that's how we teach the other. You gotta choose it. God ain't going to force it on you. God's going to give you every opportunity, every chance. God's going to bring it your way. You gotta choose heaven. But when you then you choose hell. But guess what? Satan is not in control of hell. In Revelation it says what? It says and Satan himself. Come on Bible scholars. Satan himself shall be thrown into the lake of fire. We call it what? Gahanna. He himself shall be kept. I like I like King James on this y'all. He shall be cast into the lake of fire. He ain't down there ruling y'all. Satan one of god's creations. Come on. Somebody say amen. He's the creation of god. Yeah. He himself. He ain't down there ruling nobody. He himself. Why? Because he chose to be bigger than god. Come on. Somebody say amen. God, watch this. Watch this. God gave him. I I know I'm getting all off. I'm I'm I'm just teaching tonight. I'm flowing. I'm just teaching tonight. God gave him all the gifts. Lucifer, this angel, y'all. Beautiful. Good looking. Come on. Put that in the chat. Good looking angel. But but but watch this. As the as as the old man when I grew up over at Saint Mark the old man would telling me what would tell me. Uh Lucifer starts smelling his self. Come on y'all are quiet tonight. Come on. Help me teach it. That's that's what old man would say you know. Look at you boy. Smelling yourself. You know what I mean? Uh huh. You're smelling yourself. That's what happened to Lucifer y'all. Start smelling itself. Beautiful. And the Bible says as well. That that that in his wings was music. Yeah. He just moved and melodies would come out. He was it y'all. He was it. He was it. Lucifer was it. But he was so stuck on himself that he thought he didn't need God. Come on somebody up in here. This is how it all gets started. Thought he was bigger than God. Why I need to serve this God? Look how beautiful I am. I got music. Watch this. He thought he was what? The bright and morning star. Go read it. Yeah he thought he was all of that. Music. And watch We've always said that's why we have to pray in the music ministry, in the choir. That's why it be so much hell in the music ministry and choir. Why? Cuz that's what Satan was. He had music. That's his that's his arena. That's his domain. Come on somebody say amen. But watch this right here. And so he rebelled against God. And took some angels. What took a third of heaven with him. Ain't it Sam? It wasn't. Watch this. Watch this. It it wasn't enough for him. I ain't going to serve God. What he said? I'mma take some other. Amen. Just like folk. I ain't going to do right and guess what? I'm going to take some folk with me. I don't want to look. I don't want to not do right all by myself him. But here it is. Watch this right here. He is not ruling hell. He is he said all authority has been given to me. Above the earth. On earth. And under the earth. Amen? What hell means is this right here. The definition of hell is this right here. To be without the presence of God. I want you to get that. It's it's it's not so much the the the the fire and the the the the gnashing of teeth. I mean that's bad. Amen. Somebody say amen. That that's bad. And and watch this. Can I show you this? That that everybody everybody has eternal life. You have eternal life in heaven or you have eternal life in hell. Come on. Somebody say amen. Everybody has eternal life. But our eternal life the the word means to us. Eternal life where? In the presence of god. Come on. Somebody say amen. Eternal life in the presence of god. The mansions, streets of gold, the four gates, god's presence, healing on the leave, on the trees, on the leaves of the trees, in the presence of god. Hell means what? Without god. So, watch this. You this this saying is correct. You can't have hell on earth. But hell on earth means that you don't have the presence of God with you. Come on somebody say amen. Yeah. And see that's what sin does. The definition of sin is what? Sin separates man or humans from God. Sin does this. When Adam and Eve sinned, what did it do? It separated them from God. It separated us from God. Sin separates you from God. So when we ask for forgiveness, what does it do? It brings us back in relationship with God. Jesus' death on the cross. The cross is a bridge. The cross is a bridge from us to god because the cross allows us to walk back and be in relationship with god. Come on, somebody say amen. I feel like teaching tonight. The cross is what we walk across to be back in relationship with god. but here it is. Watch this. Hell means when you're because you can be here on Earth but when you don't have god in your life, that's a living hell. Come on, somebody say amen. That's a living hell. But watch this. Here it is. Hell in its literal sense under the earth means that what? God is not there. That's why it's hell. Cuz God is in heaven. Come on. Somebody say amen. Alright, I stayed there too long. Imma keep going. Here it is. What is our commission? You as a Christian, what has god called you to do? Mount Olive, what is god called us to do? AME Church, what has god called us to do? In every church, what is god called? Therefore, go and make disciples. Make disciples of all nations. Of all people. Of all kinds of people. Come on. Somebody say amen. Now watch this. You gotta break this down. What does that mean when Jesus said go and make disciples? That means alright. What did he teach his disciples to do? He taught his disciples the word of god. He told his disciples, this is how I'm following my father, god the father, I'm trying to teach you how to follow him as well. I'm making you what? A disciple. Meaning, you sit up under me and you get teaching and you learn how to follow my father like I'm following him. Come on. Somebody say amen. In church, watch this y'all. Our our our job is not just to grow the church but our job is to make disciples. Come on. Somebody say amen. Not to make church members. He didn't say go make church members. Go read it y'all. He says go and make disciples. You want to you want to make disciples to where they love Jesus. Watch this. More than you love. You want to watch. You want to train them that they love studying scripture more than you more than you love studying scripture. They they love going to church more than you. So watch this. Watch this. This puts a whole new twist on this great assignment that God has given us. He says this one's out here. Disciples. Watch this. The way we were raised and we were taught to go to church and we didn't have a choice on going to church. Guess what he said to your kid about your kids. Go and make disciples. Teach them to go to church. Teach them to study the word of God. Make disciples. Make disciples out of your own kids. Amen. Make disciples. Outta your husband. Out of your spouse. Make disciples. Those that you meet on the street. Homeless. Rich. Black. White. Yellow. Green. It don't matter. It says what? Make disciples what? Of all people. Teach them about Christ. Teach them about Christ. And teach them watch this. Watch this. Teach them that it it it doesn't matter necessarily what church you're in. What denomination you're in. What matters is that you're in Christ. Come on, Somebody say amen. I got a challenge for you tonight. Since you've been saved, how many disciples have you made? That's your challenge tonight. Since you've been saved, how many disciples have you made? How many folk can you look at and say, see that person right there got saved because I, god does the saving, but we have to do the what? The planting of the seeds. And the water and then God gives the what? The increase. But God says there's some folk on your job. Come on. Imma bless you tonight. God says some folk on your job. They they're supposed to come to Christ. Why? Because you planted the seeds with them. You told them about Jesus. You told them about your church. But you told them about your walk with God. You planted the seeds. Then somebody else came behind you and watered it. And then God gave the increase. Yeah. That's what we supposed to do. Make disciples. Whoo. This person walking without god. I told them about god and now this person has a relationship with the lord Jesus Christ. That's what he's supposed to do at Mount Olive when people come down. Our job is guess what? We want to make you a disciple. We want to make you, we want to make you love Jesus. More than you love anything else. We want to change up. We want to affect your life. That you love Jesus more than anything. Then he says what? Baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and of the Holy Spirit. So here it is. Baptism is not a requirement to go to heaven but baptism according to Jesus is a good thing to do. Somebody say amen. Why? Because baptism is an outward sign to the world of an inward change. Let me say it again. Baptism is an outward sign to the world of an inward change. Mhm. He says watch this. Watch. Once you make a disciple out of them then baptize them. Glory to God. And watch this I know. I know. This going to hurt some some people's theology here. I know many of us. I know we were baptized as babies. I'm one of them. But there's nothing wrong with you in my opinion. Some denominations may differ. I think according to scripture, it's nothing wrong with you getting baptized again as an adult. Why? Because as a child, somebody else made that decision for you. But as an adult, you are making that decision for yourself. I want the world to know that I've been I want the world to know. That's why that's why at Mount Olive, we do as babies, alright, this is a dedication to the to to god. A dedication to the lord but you ought to come back as an adult and say, but I want to be baptized. Watch this. On my own will. Cuz I I got the knowledge. I understand that I want to I want to show the world that I'm living for Christ. Amen? Amen. Watch this. Here it is. Uh go make disciples. Baptize them. And then what? Look at verse twenty. Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. Hear me. When you disciple somebody, watch this y'all. This is what I mean. Say you got a friend, you work with, that friend don't go to church, gave up on God. You start planting seeds. You invite them to your church. They come to your church. And your pastor, praise the Lord. Preach an awesome message. And they come and give their life to Christ. Now, guess what? We can't we can't walk away from them. Because we call that a babe in Christ And there and the Bible says they're drinking off the milk of the word. You know how little baby we give them milk. Why? Cuz they can't handle the meat yet. The meat of the word. And so what? He said when you make a disciples the last thing is is what? Teach them. You gotta stay with that person. That person that God allowed you to win the Christ. You gotta stay with them and teach them the word of God and and take them from the milk of the word. You're going to take from John 316 and you gotta give them some meat. So, they learned those scriptures and so watch this. Why? Because one day, they going to need to stand as a believer on their own on the word of god. Somebody say amen. So, you gotta teach. When you make a disciple, somebody, you gotta stay with them. You gotta teach them. Train them in the word of god and then guess what? When they become more of of a of a adult in the gospel, then guess what? Now they turn around and they make more disciples. Come on, somebody say amen. So, that's how it's supposed to go. Making more disciples for Christ. Amen? And he says, what? If you do this, I will be with you. Always, even to the end of the world. Come on. I want to go to the next one. This is Mark. I want to show you what Mark's gospel says and then we're going to be done. That was Matthew's gospel. This is Mark Gospel. When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, the mother of James, and Salone bought vices so they might go anoint Jesus's body because they assume his body was still there. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, who will roll the stone away from the entrance of this tomb? He said, we going to need somebody. That that big rock is big. Say, but it looked up, they saw the stone which was very large, had already been rolled away. And they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. Be alarmed he said. You are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen. He is not here. See the place where they laid him. Go tell his disciples and Peter. Whoo. He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him just as he told you. Hold on. Did anybody catch that? Look what they said. He said, but go tell his disciples and Peter. I feel a sermon coming right here y'all. I feel a sermon coming. Hold on. I thought Peter was one of his disciples. I thought Peter was the hood disciple. I thought Peter was the disciple from Richmond Heights. Come on. Somebody say amen. He said but go tell his disciples and Peter. You know what that means? That means that because Peter had been so loyal. Because Peter had been so faithful. And then Here it is. Peter disappoints Jesus Peter disowns him. Peter denies him. You you you never think your homie is going to desert you. You never think your homie is going to deny you. And so here it is. Can you imagine how Peter felt knowing that he had denied Jesus. He had denied his Lord, his teacher, his rabbi, he had denied. This because this is a word for somebody. He says, but go tell the disciples and especially tell Peter. Whoo. Tell Peter why? Cuz Peter although you think you failed Jesus, although you think you didn't come through for him, guess what? Peter, he still has a word for your life. Come on, somebody better receive this tonight. Somebody better receive this. Whoo. Peter, I know you think you let him down. Peter, you think, watch this, that, that, watch this, that if Jesus, here it is, if Jesus has risen, he don't want to see me. I deny. I let him down. Tell the disciples, he said what? And especially, whoo. Tell Peter. And even though you denied me, Peter, I still got up for you. Come on, I feel the word coming here. Oh, you ain't come through for me, Peter. Imma come through for you. Come on. Although you made mistake Peter. I still got up for you. Come on. Somebody get this word tonight. Give me an amen in the chat. Whoo. Tell Peter. Peter, I know you think. You, watch this. You don't deserve it but Peter, you still deserve it. Whoo. I still die for you, Peter. I still got up for you, Peter. I still have a plan for your life, Peter. Tell his disciples what? And tell Peter. I don't know who needs to hear that tonight. Whoo You may feel like Peter, you let god down. You don't deserve his best. You don't deserve his goodness. You don't deserve his grace and his mercy. The devil is a liar. Come on. Somebody say amen. Whoo. Jesus says, I died for you. Not for the perfect you. I just died for you. Whoo. Why? Because I loved you. You're my child. Glory to god. He said, I died just for you, Peter. Whoo. Somebody needs to receive that tonight. Whatever you've been through in your life, whatever mistakes you make in your life, it does not matter. He still died for you. Here it is. Trembling and bewildered. The women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone because they were afraid. When Jesus rose early, the first day of week, he first appeared to Mary Magdalene out of whom he had driven out seven demons. Come on, that's a word right there. There's a word for somebody. The first people Jesus showed him, showed himself to, are not the perfect people. Come on, somebody say amen. He showed himself to the woman who had some issues in her life. Seven demons on the inside. But guess what? She met Jesus and Jesus did a work in her life. And watch this. And because she allowed God to do a work in her life. He says again Imma show myself to you first. Come on y'all. There's a word in there for somebody. Whoo There's a word in there. God has some cleansing power. God has renewal power. God has some blessings. Whoo. And god says, when I rise, look at guess what? I rose just for you. For the folk that done messed up, yeah. Yeah, for the folk that got in trouble. Yeah. For the folk that made mistakes. Yeah, yeah. For the folk who didn't have it all together, yeah. He died for you. Somebody put in the chat, he died for me. He died for me. 17 demons. He had driven out of her. Whoo. But I like it because guess what? That girl was the first one there. Come on. Somebody say amen. Whoo. She said, well, I know what he did for me. I I know what he did for me. I'm going to be the first one on the scene. She went and told those who had been with him who were mourning and weeping. When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it. Come on y'all. You going to run into folk that will not believe you. But afterward, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them. While they were walking in the country, these returned and reported to the rest, but they did not believe them either. Later, Jesus appeared to the eleven, as they were eating. He rebuked them for their lack of faith. And their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen He said, come on now. Y'all ought to be believing by now. But guess what? Here it is y'all. Here it is. When Pentecost come. Guess what it's going to take for them to really believe. An outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Come on. A baptism in the Holy Ghost. Whoo. You can't really believe it until you've been, watch this, until you've been doused by the Holy Ghost. Come on, somebody say amen. You may have been a member of the church all these years but watch it. Have you been baptized in the Holy Ghost? Come on, that's different. Have you been dumb? Dumped way down in the Holy Ghost. Come on. Somebody say amen. That's what makes you really believe. Alright. He said to them, here it is. Great commission. Go into all the world. And preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever Eves and is baptized will be saved. Whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe. In my name, they will drive out demons. Come on y'all. And they will speak in new tongues. Yeah. Some of y'all say y'all don't believe in the speaking in tongues. Come on, it's right there in the word of God. Come on, it's right there. They will pick up snakes with their hands. And they will drink deadly poison. It will not hurt at all. They will place their hands on sick people and they will get well. Come on. Somebody say amen. Now, watch this. Watch this. Be careful here because watch this. Uh there, there are some people that have taken this literally. I want you to go study this tonight.

They're There are some snake handling churches. I want you to Google this when we through tonight. Go on YouTube. Jesus may have been speaking in the in a little more spiritual form than a literal form. And so but some people and they're Christians. Some people take it literally and like you know it's it's it's it's off in the country. And you go and in the pulpit they got a big they got a big snake and and they read this they read this scripture. They took it literally. And we'll just say they did not survive. Come on somebody say amen. I think a better translation might be this right here. Watch this. Cuz you know Satan here we go. Satan is a snake. He is the that your your enemy is a snake. And so I would suggest spiritually Jesus is saying what? Watch this right here. When the enemy comes with you. Whoo. And and watch it. And when people speak deadly poison against you, it won't hurt you because God is with you. I'm not suggesting to anyone that you should go drink some poison tonight and try this and try this out in the literal sense. Come on, somebody say amen. Glory to god. Amen. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I know we know in tongues to speak in an unknown language But watch this. For for for some of you speaking in new tongues don't don't don't necessarily mean that you're going to speak in the unknown language. What what it could mean for you is that all that cussing you used to do gotta take that cussing for from you and that's a new tongue. Come on. Somebody say amen. Yeah, you got a new tongue because every other word you used to cuss. Come on, somebody say amen. Beep, beep, boom, boom, beep, beep, beep Now, all of a sudden, you got the Holy Ghost.

Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere and the lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it. Alright? So, he he showed himself before he ascended. Amen? And then he says what though? He ascended and now he sits the right hand of god the father almighty and another verse tells us what he's doing. Making intercession for the believers. Come on y'all.
