16. You Will Be Stripped

Welcome to track #16 of the Sufferings of Christ, verse 28. And they stripped. Him and put a scarlet robe on him. Now the next type of suffering that you are going to experience when you become a pastor is that you will be stripped. How many would like to be stripped the way you are going to be stripped? You may not be stripped physically naked, but your life will be stripped. Bare everybody. 'S going to see you. Everybody's going to know everything about you. Oh. Man, all your secrets may be known and when you don't even say the things those type of people who come and sit in the church who know you and and you see them in the left side of your eye, they would tend to the chapters and they said this guy. I know you're a pastor. Forgive your pastor. Was my former. Boyfriend I. Used to be his pancake like this, like this turn over. That is one of the reasons why many of the ladies don't make good preachers and pastors, because they don't talk about it. They, they, they love to have a good image. They're really concerned about what people think about them. So many ladies are not good preachers. Many ladies are not good preachers. Juanita Bynum is one of the few good preachers. Because you talk. About it say, you know, I used to be I was there, she said I'll. Come into the. Church and I'll see him there. And I just bowed on my head. Yeah, she's real. People want real. Things So you come with your nice Polish preaching. No Windows Fairy Deuteronomy to Levitical Leviticus to Romans, Romans to. Revelation, Revelation. To 2nd Corinthians. The Czech members are looking into the darkness they don't understand. What you are saying windowless preaching? You can't. Say anything about yourself. When you are talking you just say I had. One or. 2 friendships and I did. One or two things in my life. And I've done. One or two. Things that everybody has also. Done. And you know what I mean by what I mean. But by the grace of God, I am what I am today. You are fast forwarded the message. To present the realities. And all the people who you are preaching to are where you used to be, and they are only wishing that you will say something so that they will. Feel a little normal in the. Church, but they're. Just hoping that you talk about something. Or say. Something then they will see. That you are just as they are. They don't talk. About their marriages. They always want people to think. That they have the best marriage. Marriage. Is just like. Anybody else's marriage, you are. Just as beastly. As any other. Wife, that you want this nice appearance of angelic purity, meanwhile you are not an Angel too. Why do you want to be an Angel? I said, well, I can't hear the hooting, I can't hear the bell. Why do you want to be an Angel? Why? Why do you want to be an Angel when you are not an Angel? You are a human being. Are you an Angel? Are you know why? Do you want to pretend or show that? You are an Angel. Why do you have this Angelic, angelic, angelic? Angelic. Angelic presentation when you are not an Angel. Why? Look, look, just change your name to Angel Rose. Change your name. Just change your name to Angel. Whatever. Then we. Know that you are an Angel. Angelina. When they are preaching. They cannot even move one to the right one step. To the left. One step to the right. One step to the left. Very orderly presentation, lipstick, hair, you should see them preparing and then when they. Speak The words are soft like butter their. Words are like olive oil. Olive oil gentle. Angel Angelina Angelica. Some of. These lady preachers. They have been pancake before. Somebody's pancake. But when they stand, when they stand, they'll never say. They'll just. Through the Lord's, the Lord's goodness, all in the House of the Lord, God is blessing all of us. God loves me. That's why people are suffering. It will be real. Yeah. Sometimes, you know, people think that if you talk about something. That you are. Really, people will look down, but I've come to find as I preach. People admire you more. They realize that people, people they even. They even. Admire you more. They realize that you are just like them. For if. God had wanted angels, He would have sent angels so. Why are you trying to take the identity of an Angel when you are not yet an Angel? One day you'll be an Angel in heaven. Bible said they stripped him bare. They saw his stomach. They saw his thighs. Private. Hey, private has become public, Private has become public, private has become public. What happened? In your room has become public so that you can help somebody. So everybody knows us since you started. Preachers, they will know you because. That's the work of a pastor. You share with us why a pastor stays with the people for years. He used to tell them when he was afraid. Young teacher, he likes to talk and you tell me about how he was afraid, what happened to me was scared and days. And that when you hear those messages, you become a car because you are also. Afraid you're also. Afraid. Have you never heard me say that I was afraid? Have have you heard me tell you? Make your face straight, as if you're not afraid and you move. I was afraid. There's fear. In the church. They stripped him. They they, they knew his house. They knew. So I tell people how I got my house, how I get this. I show this where I this where this. One came from. I show people, yeah, it's not my. Car. You know, because the way the life is, that's that's. One of the. Prices you have to pay and openness draws. People towards and say Villa or what I'm seeing is what there is, yeah. Hey. People are so surprised when they marry and you see. Some husbands, they don't. Take nonsense. Oh. They don't take noises though, so. You may look like an. Angel, but he. Knows that this Angelina appearance. It. Is not so. Amen. Are you ready to be stripped? How many are? Ready to be stripped? Are you ready to be stripped? Some of you are not ready to be stripped Personal. Be yourself. Be yourself, be yourself. That's what will be yourself. Be yourself. You are not good, you are bad. Be yourself and you are going to find. You are going to find. You are going to find people are going to come nearer, nearer and nearer and nearer. That is why. People are so surprised, you know these American pastors pictures we see the husband who pose with the. Wife come and do it. No, you have to be down. You have to be up. You see at the. Marriage. This one. There heaven. Has come to kiss the earth. Meanwhile, there's no food in the household. When you go home and you are hungry, they'll give you sarilak to eat. Sarilak. A grown up run, you lose sarilak. Sarilak a grown up, they'll give you baby food to eat for the whole day. Take Terry like and eat it. You are now on baby diets. No fine. All the sisters. When you ask them to go shopping. To go. And buy something. They never buy something for the house. If I say. I'm giving you 100 lbs. To go and buy something nice in town. They'll never buy something I want. To buy something to look nice at. Home. No, no, no. I'm going to buy something that I'll use on Sunday. Or. Something that I'll use in church for people to see me. Yeah, you are coming. The 90 you are using, you've been using it since 1976. Nineteen 76. Listen, the 90 you are using since 761976 when you are coming from Jamaica, when you are coming from Ghana. You sold it at Opera Square and you bought it that the same 10 so. That you look nice. You do your hair. The hair that we can see, but the hair. That we cannot see. It has not been. It has not been come. It has not for years. Years and years and years and years. Yes and yes. It's. Like a Bush. I'm getting rich. One brother. There was a certain brother. I said him, brother, he said pastor, I cannot. I said you cannot what he said, I cannot, he said when I see the. Swamps the mangrove. Forest, all my feelings are gone, All my feelings are gone. It has been there since last year, last four years. Meanwhile, they're always finding a new hairstyle for the hair. Do a new week. One day my wife went out. And when she came? When she came before I realized she did. She did a hand like this. Then before I realized So what you are wearing was a week so now I am. Left with reminder. What is there then? Is it? What I'm saying is that there's that presentation outside Angel Beauty. Then the cap will come on that cap earlier. In my marriage I said this, this hat, this cap. I don't like it. He said, oh, it's necessary for the hair. After I said no, I don't want it. So I said remove it, remove it. One day she did not remove it, so I went and bought scissors. I was there when she was sleeping and I took it and I cut, cut. Cut, cut, cut. And when she saw. I said. If you bring another one, I'll cut it. And I became free forever. Angelica Angelina. Sit down. Bible says they. Stripped him bare. And when you are. Stripped bare, you see, Uncammly. The Bible calls that two parts of your body, calmly and uncamly. Uncamly. Doesn't mean. Evil, but it means that it's not as nice. To see. And when you are straight the password are not as nice are also. Shown to help others to understand that it's. Not so strange. Yeah, there are some people in your ministry, if they were to just understand that what they are experienced not so wild, yeah. You, you, you, you, you you will suddenly be encouraged. Oh, I can suffer that because. If I change it, I'll have the same thing again. Amen. I don't understand the message. Was stripped bare, pastors will. Learn how. To talk, that's. Why? That's why many people are trying to accuse me. I shouldn't talk about my school. And that's what experience I have and the ones that the Lord has given me that I can share, I share. Yeah. Amen. So every experience. Is part of God's blessing even? In your marriage? Share it. Yeah, you'll be surprised. Since we started this campus, I've been preaching and I realized that some people are surprised. That their life is quite. Similar to what is being one of these at the point I was pretty soon saying you are. Preaching. You are preaching. It is. It is so. Sad, one brother said to me one day. He said to him, Brother. He said, look, when I go home, there is nothing to eat. He. Said to me I am a scavenger, so one day I visited him. And I. Saw I saw it for myself. Hey, there are some places. When you visit, you will be hungry yourself, will see that yes, you have come to the wilderness, that you may experience fasting. Some of you people. Visit you. It should not be easier. Every woman here must be confident. God. The Bible says it's not because they're black or white, it's just because the Bible says hospitality must. Know how to. Cook, at least, must know how to boil rice. Are you a boy? I said. Are you a boy? So that when we come, we will not be hungry. So I saw the brother and I realized that he was really hungry. Pennsylvania. And I realized that. He had become a specialist at eating bananas to be full. He could eat the Balanesu more as a filler. After they've given you cerelac, then you add bananas to it, then you drink water, and then that's. It OK. Let's go on. He saved others. But he cannot save himself. The next thing is where you will experience that you cannot save yourself, even though you can save others. It's a very fantastic experience. You can pray for the sick and they'll be healed and you yourself will be sick and it's something that something that. God will allow. You to experience powerful helping of other people, but yourself cannot be helped. Your own you cannot counsel. Your own financial situation cannot be helped. Your own marriage cannot be helped. Hey. Then when you stand to take an offering, you can do give and it shall be given unto you, but you cannot save yourself. You can hear the man, but when it applies, you cannot do it, and you do not do it. When you see that and you realize how people are looking at you and they are saying why don't you apply to yourself? Now my Mike Maddock said that he was married happily for 13 years. He has steps to happiness. Steps to marriage. Steps to everything and after Ted uncommon happiness and after 13 years, suddenly his marriage broke down. He was so surprised. So why? Don't you apply? The steps you've been teaching. To your life. That's why you shouldn't laugh at somebody when he's having a problem, because you may not know how, you may not know when. It will happen to you when you see somebody be at banning, go and fetch water and put it by your side. Should in case your beard will also catch fire without knowing how beards are Catching Fire. You don't have to be standing and. Say, why is your beard burning? Why? Save yourself. Brother, save yourself. When I look at the Bishop Dunker William, as he got divorced, I knew that that was the. Message that a lot of Christians, you have helped us, you have ministered to us. Do it to yourself now, Mr. Bishop, that's what. Christ experienced. Save yourself. Can't you apply it in your own case? Do you remember that message you preached? And if you fall, they will. Play back. Your messages I said how you get steps on how to avoid, but you. Fell in it, but be careful you don't laugh at somebody. You be careful, you don't laugh at somebody because when? God hears the sound of your laughter. He'll say, oh, I see. I give. You 72 hours. You see the same thing. You may not know how, you may not know when you may. Not know where. From this thing is going to come for you, so watch out. You better watch out. Amen. Save yourself, Pastor. God will show you many things that you cannot save yourself. It happens all the time. Or a robber's preached and his own children, one of them commits suicide, one of them this happens, another bit happens. And it's like people look at you say, So what about your family life? What about your children? One pastor has a huge. Ministry in one country in Africa, huge and his son is the chief top drug dealer in that country. I've been to his church before, Huge. And his son, that is what he does, the work that his son does. The son is a. Is a is. A drug Baron, a known drug Baron and you ask that all the young people in the church will be able to say except your son who is now even getting old, his all his work is to do deal with that pastor. Can you not? Apply these principles in your house. Why is your child here? Why is this happening to you? So. God is telling. You. Don't laugh at somebody because there is a. Place where God actually allows you to experience the inability to help yourself. Yeah, with sickness. I've seen. Look, I've seen. People, I'm a. Doctor I've seen. People heal. There are some. Healings. I've seen how this It could be something nebulous, it could be something unreal. But I've. Seen miracles that you can see that look listening from the medical point of view, it's a real miracle. I've seen them, but I've seen my own self sick and not be able to be healed. Yeah, I've seen myself sick. I've had people. Testifying of my sickness as I hear them. So I've been healed of it. And I said to myself, hey, then I'll shout. Hallelujah, this is healed of this. And I'll, I'll be suffering myself. Yeah. And then you you like so. What that is? Actually, what almost prevented me from entering the healing the inability to save yourself because it was the greatest hindrance to my mind that if you are. Why don't? You heal yourself, You get what I'm saying? Why don't you heal yourself of this problem? Why don't you solve your own life? Don't start. Preaching because you you have problems. But that's what the devil wants to tell us. But through it all, through that experience. Of saving many people. And not saving yourself. God will bless your life. And bless your ministry greatly. Amen. In the same way the. Chiefs, priests also along. With you, the scribes mocked him, saying he saved others. He cannot save himself. Best. Part If he trusts in God, let God rescue him. If he delights in him. For He. Said I'm the. Son of God. And the robbers who had been crucified within were insulting him with the same words. Now from the. 6th hour darkness fell upon all the. Lands of the 9th. Hour and about the 9th hour Jesus cried out with a. Loud voice saying Eli Eli. Lama Sabakhtani. Which is. My God, my God, why have? You forsaken me the next. Is to experience. The feeling. Of being forsaken by God. Everybody here will have an experience of praying about something which will not be answered the way you want it. And it may be not answered as you say, but it's his will. It's it's his will. Why have you? Forsaken me in particular, you know when we say how have you? Forsaken me? Why have you left me alone without attending to me? In this vision where Rejoiner was speaking to the devil, the devil said to him, You have been forsaken. God has forsaken you like he forsook the other prophets. Can't you see? Can't you see that you've been forsaken? But I came to tell you, God hasn't forsaken you. But you will. Experience that thing where you ask yourself, Lord, why am I not married? But why? Don't I have a child? But why don't I have a visa? But why don't I finish my school? No. Why don't my? Husband change why don't my wife change? Why don't my? Life change, no? Why can't I stop? Sinning. Why? Why does? This seem like you are not with me. Why has God forsaken me? Some of those who are standing there had it and they began saying this man is calling for Elijah, misinterpretations about what you are doing. It was not calling Elijah Ellie. And then you've made it Elijah. So one of the things that you're suffering you're going to do is misunderstanding, misinterpretation of what you're doing. Eli. Eli think they're saying Elijah? Oh. Forgive. Elijah, he's praying to. Elijah now. He's praying to Elijah now. Hey, look at what he's praying to Elijah now. And then they misinterpret what he says. Oh, he doesn't like people from this country. He doesn't like people from this. And that's not what you said. That's not what you said. But they want to make it that way. They have almost finished. Behold a veil then. Now the rest. Of them say, let us see whether Elijah will come and save him. Oh. And Jesus cried, I would give him the loud voice and yielded up his Spirit. And behold, the veil of the temple was turned into from bottom. The tombs were opened, many bodies of the Saints would have fallen asleep were raised coming out of his tombs. They entered into the Holy See. Now the centurion and those who are keeping God, I think when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening became very frightened and said truly this was the Son of God, many women. Were looking on from a distance who had followed Jesus from. Galilee while ministering to him. Among them. Was Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee, Amen. And when? It was evening, there came a rich man from. Arimathea, named Joseph himself, had been a disciple. The man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered to be given to him. Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own tomb. Now there'll be. More confirmations of the fact that. He was a thief and. Associated with rich people, even his. Burial. His close friends, who are rich men, have come. For the body. And have buried him where? Rich people are buried. He died amongst thieves and was. Buried among the rich. And Mary Magdalene. Was there? Confirming that Jesus was moving. With girls, Mary Magdalene was there and other Mary sitting. Opposite the grave, more confirmations. Hey. Prepare for confirmations. And now on the next day after the preparation, the chief priests and the pharmacies were gathered together with Pilot. Amen. And they said, Sir, we. Remember that when he was still alive, this the deceiver, that deceiver said. That deceiver. After his death. He was called the Deceiver. Going. To rise again, Jesus left. This world as a deceiver. Called a deceiver. He was not a deceiver. He was called a deceiver. Man. Pilots said to them, you have a God, go make it a secure as you know. And they made the grave, Amen. And set a seal on the stone, Amen. Stand to your feet, everybody.
