(Theme Song) Jesus is worthy
00:00:00.93\00:00:11.73
oh yes, he's
worthy worthy of all...
00:00:11.73\00:00:18.80
all the praise Pastor
Byrd: Whatever animals
00:00:18.80\00:00:22.53
that are in the waters
that don't have fins or scales,
00:00:22.53\00:00:29.33
the Bible says they are unclean.
00:00:29.33\00:00:31.36
They are what, everybody?
00:00:31.36\00:00:32.33
Aud.: Unclean.
00:00:32.33\00:00:33.30
PB: They're unclean.
00:00:33.30\00:00:34.03
They're what, everybody?
00:00:34.03\00:00:34.80
Aud.: Unclean.
00:00:34.80\00:00:35.33
PB: They are a scavenger.
00:00:35.33\00:00:37.43
So just like a pig eats
up everything off the land,
00:00:37.43\00:00:40.70
a scavenger in the water
eats all the waste in the water.
00:00:40.70\00:00:45.40
All right, so tonight
I've come to help you.
00:00:45.40\00:00:50.26
Where are my helpers, here?
00:00:50.26\00:00:51.86
Where are my papers.
00:00:51.86\00:00:52.86
Come now, let's pass those
out, because everyone wants
00:00:52.86\00:00:55.33
to know what is
clean and what is unclean.
00:00:55.33\00:00:58.60
So quickly, let's pass them
out and give me one, and I'd
00:00:58.60\00:01:01.83
like to read it too.
00:01:01.83\00:01:03.00
And after you pass them out,
I want you to put it on your
00:01:03.00\00:01:05.80
refrigerator at home.
00:01:05.80\00:01:08.10
Come on, say amen.
00:01:08.10\00:01:10.13
Aud.: Amen.
00:01:10.13\00:01:11.13
PB: Put it right next to
that flyer of the revival.
00:01:11.13\00:01:14.06
You'll never forget Pastor Byrd.
00:01:14.06\00:01:17.60
Come on now, amen!
00:01:17.60\00:01:18.60
'Cause you want to eat right.
00:01:18.60\00:01:22.26
You want a good dinner
tonight, if you haven't
00:01:22.26\00:01:25.00
eaten.
00:01:25.00\00:01:26.00
Come on, say amen.
00:01:26.00\00:01:27.00
You don't want barbecued
bat and curried bat and lapwing
00:01:27.00\00:01:30.60
and raven.
00:01:30.60\00:01:31.60
You don't want all that.
00:01:31.60\00:01:32.60
You don't want the pig anymore.
00:01:32.60\00:01:34.60
Come on, say amen.
00:01:34.60\00:01:35.60
You don't want all
that, because your body
00:01:35.60\00:01:37.60
is the temple of God.
00:01:37.60\00:01:38.60
Your body is a
temple of whom, everybody?
00:01:38.60\00:01:40.60
Aud.: God.
00:01:40.60\00:01:41.60
PB: Your body is a
temple of whom, everybody?
00:01:41.60\00:01:43.60
Aud.: God.
00:01:43.60\00:01:44.60
PB: All right.
00:01:44.60\00:01:45.60
God's temple is in your
body, and you can't have these
00:01:45.60\00:01:47.60
unclean things in your body,
and you recognize your body
00:01:47.60\00:01:49.60
is God's temple, so
what goes in your body.
00:01:49.60\00:01:51.80
All right, so you have
the sheet, you have the sheet.
00:01:51.80\00:01:54.30
Because remember, the animals
on the land, they must be three
00:01:54.30\00:01:58.93
things: They must be part
the hoof, clovenfooted, and chew
00:01:58.93\00:02:03.30
the cud.
00:02:03.30\00:02:04.30
If they're in the
waters, they must have fins
00:02:04.30\00:02:07.16
and they must have what?
00:02:07.16\00:02:08.46
Scales.
00:02:08.46\00:02:09.46
If fowls creep, going on
all fours, they shall be an
00:02:09.46\00:02:13.33
abomination.
00:02:13.33\00:02:14.33
So let's look at
what can be eaten.
00:02:14.33\00:02:16.33
Somebody said,
oh, thank you, Jesus.
00:02:16.33\00:02:18.33
Because they see
the C word right there.
00:02:18.33\00:02:20.33
All right.
00:02:20.33\00:02:21.33
Meats.
00:02:21.33\00:02:22.33
Lamb, that's clean.
00:02:22.33\00:02:23.90
Beef.
00:02:23.90\00:02:25.20
Aud.: Amen.
00:02:25.20\00:02:27.86
PB: Somebody said amen,
then someone said thank you,
00:02:27.86\00:02:31.23
Jesus!
00:02:31.23\00:02:32.23
Mutton.
00:02:32.23\00:02:34.66
Veal.
00:02:34.66\00:02:35.66
Goat.
00:02:35.66\00:02:36.66
Somebody said I can
still eat my curried goat.
00:02:36.66\00:02:40.93
Venison.
00:02:40.93\00:02:44.53
Chicken.
00:02:44.53\00:02:46.96
Aud.: Amen!
00:02:46.96\00:02:49.00
PB: Lord Jesus!
00:02:49.00\00:02:52.00
[Laughter] PB: Turkey.
00:02:52.00\00:02:57.43
That's not going to
mess up your Thanksgiving.
00:02:57.43\00:03:01.76
Fish.
00:03:01.76\00:03:02.70
Perch, snapper, buffalo,
carp, sun perch, salmon,
00:03:02.70\00:03:05.13
sardines, tuna,
flounder, cod, tilapia, whiting.
00:03:05.13\00:03:09.53
You see the shortenings.
00:03:09.53\00:03:10.96
Now let's look at
what can't be eaten because
00:03:10.96\00:03:13.10
it's unclean.
00:03:13.10\00:03:14.10
Let's look at the meats first.
00:03:14.10\00:03:16.10
Pig.
00:03:16.10\00:03:17.10
You know what that is. Coon.
00:03:17.10\00:03:22.30
You know what that is, raccoon.
00:03:22.30\00:03:25.53
Possum.
00:03:25.53\00:03:27.80
Squirrel.
00:03:27.80\00:03:28.80
Aud.: Eww.
00:03:28.80\00:03:30.56
PB: Turtle.
00:03:30.56\00:03:32.60
Horse.
00:03:32.60\00:03:33.70
You ride a horse,
you don't eat a horse.
00:03:33.70\00:03:40.30
Rabbit.
00:03:40.30\00:03:41.30
Snake.
00:03:41.30\00:03:42.30
Somebody told me one
time, snake tastes like chicken.
00:03:42.30\00:03:44.53
I said, I'll never know.
00:03:44.53\00:03:46.93
[Laughter] PB: Frog.
00:03:46.93\00:03:50.26
Frog legs.
00:03:50.26\00:03:52.20
You all ready for some more?
00:03:52.20\00:03:53.96
Let's go to the fish.
00:03:53.96\00:03:55.50
Catfish, eel,
lobster, crab, oysters, shrimp.
00:03:55.50\00:04:09.70
[Laughter] You all
love that shrimp, don't you.
00:04:09.70\00:04:12.96
You've got to leave it alone!
00:04:12.96\00:04:15.00
Crayfish.
00:04:15.00\00:04:16.86
Shark.
00:04:16.86\00:04:19.06
Whale.
00:04:19.06\00:04:20.56
Jonah was in the belly
of the whale, he didn't
00:04:20.56\00:04:22.33
eat the whale.
00:04:22.33\00:04:24.10
Shortenings.
00:04:24.10\00:04:25.10
You've got to leave
alone that hog lard and hog fat
00:04:25.10\00:04:28.10
grease.
00:04:28.10\00:04:29.10
Somebody said, but
that's what makes it taste good.
00:04:29.10\00:04:31.33
Eat something else! Drinks.
00:04:31.33\00:04:32.60
You've got to
leave the beer alone.
00:04:32.60\00:04:36.10
The whiskey, wine, the
gin, even all this caffeine
00:04:36.10\00:04:39.50
drinks.
00:04:39.50\00:04:40.50
They're stimulants.
00:04:40.50\00:04:41.90
You've got to drink water.
00:04:41.90\00:04:43.36
Come on, say amen.
00:04:43.36\00:04:45.33
Drink some water.
00:04:45.33\00:04:46.33
Come on, say amen!
00:04:46.33\00:04:48.13
Now, let me tell you something.
00:04:48.13\00:04:50.66
We chuckle and we laugh,
but those who persist in eating
00:04:50.66\00:04:55.80
unclean meats, pig and swine
flesh, they're going to burn
00:04:55.80\00:05:00.06
when Jesus comes.
00:05:00.06\00:05:01.06
You don't believe me?
00:05:01.06\00:05:02.46
Take your Bible
and go to Isaiah 66.
00:05:02.46\00:05:06.50
I'll give you some Word.
00:05:06.50\00:05:07.50
Know what you believe
and know why you believe it,
00:05:07.50\00:05:09.50
and where it's found.
00:05:09.50\00:05:10.50
So I'm not just up here talking.
00:05:10.50\00:05:12.50
Isaiah 66, and we're
going to verse number 15.
00:05:12.50\00:05:18.26
I want you to put this
sheet on your refrigerator.
00:05:18.26\00:05:20.30
Come one, say amen.
00:05:20.30\00:05:21.30
In fact, we'll make more copies.
00:05:21.30\00:05:23.30
Put it on your refrigerator
and put it in your car,
00:05:23.30\00:05:25.30
so when you order carry-out,
you'll know not to order
00:05:25.30\00:05:27.30
certain things.
00:05:27.30\00:05:28.30
Amen.
00:05:28.30\00:05:29.30
Isaiah 66, verse 15.
00:05:29.30\00:05:32.90
If you have it, let
me hear you say amen.
00:05:32.90\00:05:34.90
Aud.: Amen.
00:05:34.90\00:05:35.90
PB: All right.
00:05:35.90\00:05:36.90
Getting quiet in the church.
00:05:36.90\00:05:37.90
"For, behold, the
LORD will come with," what?
00:05:37.90\00:05:40.40
Aud.: Fire.
00:05:40.40\00:05:41.40
PB: "And with his chariots
like a whirlwind, to render
00:05:41.40\00:05:43.40
his anger with fury, and
his rebuke with flames of fire.
00:05:43.40\00:05:45.40
For by fire and by his sword
will the LORD plead with all
00:05:45.40\00:05:48.23
flesh: and the slain of
the LORD shall be," what?
00:05:48.23\00:05:52.23
Aud.: Many.
00:05:52.23\00:05:53.23
PB: Verse 17, "They
that sanctify themselves,
00:05:53.23\00:05:56.13
and purify themselves in
the gardens behind one tree
00:05:56.13\00:05:58.40
in the midst,
eating" what kind of flesh?
00:05:58.40\00:06:00.86
Aud.: Swine's.
00:06:00.86\00:06:01.86
PB: Eating what kind of flesh?
00:06:01.86\00:06:03.86
Aud.: Swine.
00:06:03.86\00:06:04.86
PB: "And the
abomination, and the mouse."
00:06:04.86\00:06:06.86
Lord Jesus!
00:06:06.86\00:06:07.86
People eating mice.
00:06:07.86\00:06:09.13
"Shall be consumed
together, saith the LORD."
00:06:09.13\00:06:18.53
Pastor Byrd, but what
if I pray before I eat it?
00:06:18.53\00:06:23.50
[Laughter] PB:
What if I say grace?
00:06:23.50\00:06:25.50
God bless this food.
00:06:25.50\00:06:26.50
You're praying over that food
doesn't change the fact that
00:06:26.50\00:06:32.70
that pig is eating everything
out there, and you're now
00:06:32.70\00:06:34.70
about eat the pig
that has eaten everything.
00:06:34.70\00:06:37.40
But more than that,
I'm pretty sure Cain prayed
00:06:37.40\00:06:42.86
over his sacrifice.
00:06:42.86\00:06:44.10
But it wasn't
what God asked for.
00:06:44.10\00:06:48.66
God couldn't bless it.
00:06:48.66\00:06:50.76
So I'm praying over this
food, but it's not what God
00:06:50.76\00:06:52.76
asked for, it's what
God told you to refrain
00:06:52.76\00:06:54.93
and stay away from.
00:06:54.93\00:06:55.93
How can God bless what
He's told you not to do?
00:06:55.93\00:06:58.10
Aud.: Amen.
00:06:58.10\00:07:00.96
PB: Pastor Byrd, I've read
in the New Testament where Peter
00:07:00.96\00:07:07.63
said that he had a
dream, and he saw some animals
00:07:07.63\00:07:13.76
and he was told to
rise, kill and eat.
00:07:15.33\00:07:19.43
Let's read about that.
00:07:19.43\00:07:20.63
Go to Acts 10.
00:07:20.63\00:07:21.63
Full disclosure.
00:07:21.63\00:07:23.96
Acts chapter 10, verse number 9.
00:07:23.96\00:07:28.63
Acts chapter 10, verse number 9.
00:07:28.63\00:07:30.96
Acts chapter 10, verse
number 9, if you have it
00:07:30.96\00:07:33.10
let me hear you say amen.
00:07:33.10\00:07:34.10
The Word of God says in
Acts chapter 10, verse number 9,
00:07:34.10\00:07:36.76
"On the morrow, as they
went on their journey, and drew
00:07:36.76\00:07:40.06
nigh unto the city,
Peter went up upon the housetop
00:07:40.06\00:07:43.73
to pray about the sixth
hour: And he became very hungry,
00:07:43.73\00:07:48.26
and would have eaten:
but while they made ready,
00:07:48.26\00:07:55.53
he fell into a trance, and
saw heaven opened, and a certain
00:07:55.53\00:08:02.60
vessel descending upon him,
as it had been a great sheet
00:08:02.60\00:08:05.13
knit at the four corners,
and let down to the earth."
00:08:05.13\00:08:08.33
Verse 12, "Wherein were
all manner of fourfooted beasts
00:08:08.33\00:08:10.80
of the earth, and wild
beasts, and creeping things,
00:08:10.80\00:08:12.80
and fowls of the air.
00:08:12.80\00:08:13.80
And there came a voice to
him, Rise, Peter; kill, and,"
00:08:13.80\00:08:19.00
what, everybody?
00:08:19.00\00:08:20.00
Aud.: Eat.
00:08:20.00\00:08:21.00
PB: Now remember,
this is the New Testament.
00:08:21.00\00:08:23.00
"But Peter said, Not so,
Lord; for I have never eaten
00:08:23.00\00:08:25.16
any thing that is
common or unclean.
00:08:25.16\00:08:28.66
And the voice spake unto
him again the second time,
00:08:28.66\00:08:32.13
What God hath cleansed,
that call not thou common."
00:08:32.13\00:08:38.00
Verse 16, "This was
done thrice [three times]:
00:08:38.00\00:08:41.03
and the vessel was
received up again into heaven."
00:08:41.03\00:08:44.70
So, what people try to do
is they try to take this text,
00:08:44.70\00:08:47.90
and they try to say
well, from this text, Peter saw
00:08:47.90\00:08:49.63
all these different animals.
00:08:49.63\00:08:50.86
Then he heard a
voice, Rise, kill, eat.
00:08:50.86\00:08:53.30
And he says, wait a
minute, I cannot eat this.
00:08:53.30\00:08:55.40
I cannot kill and eat
this, because it's unclean.
00:08:55.40\00:08:58.36
And then he hears a
voice that says, What God
00:08:58.36\00:09:01.40
has cleansed, you have
no right to call unclean.
00:09:01.40\00:09:05.23
And so people try to take
this text and use this text
00:09:05.23\00:09:09.86
as license to eat
whatever they want to eat.
00:09:09.86\00:09:12.73
But the thing about reading
the Bible, and reading Bible
00:09:12.73\00:09:15.06
texts: you have to make
sure you don't take the texts
00:09:15.06\00:09:17.60
and take them out of context.
00:09:17.60\00:09:21.06
What do we mean by that?
00:09:21.06\00:09:22.06
You've got to
read the whole chapter.
00:09:22.06\00:09:24.06
Read it all.
00:09:24.06\00:09:25.13
Go to verse 26.
00:09:25.13\00:09:27.60
Same chapter, Acts 10.
00:09:27.60\00:09:30.83
The Word of God says in
Acts chapter 10, verse 26, "But
00:09:30.83\00:09:33.10
Peter took him up,
saying, Stand up; I myself also
00:09:33.10\00:09:39.03
am a man.
00:09:39.03\00:09:40.96
And as he talked with
him, he went in, and found many
00:09:40.96\00:09:45.26
that were come together."
00:09:45.26\00:09:46.26
Verse 28, "And he said
unto them, Ye know how that
00:09:46.26\00:09:48.73
it is an unlawful thing
for a man that is a Jew to keep
00:09:48.73\00:09:52.13
company, or come unto one
of another nation; but God hath
00:09:52.13\00:09:56.60
shewed me that I
should not call any," what?
00:09:56.60\00:10:00.30
Aud.: Man.
00:10:00.30\00:10:01.30
PB: Come on, any what?
00:10:01.30\00:10:02.30
Aud.: Man.
00:10:02.30\00:10:03.30
PB: "Common or," what?
00:10:03.30\00:10:04.30
Aud.: Unclean.
00:10:04.30\00:10:05.30
PB: In other words,
Peter's saying, look.
00:10:05.30\00:10:07.40
I'm thinking that
what I was shown was given
00:10:07.40\00:10:09.63
with animals and food.
00:10:09.63\00:10:11.16
But really, what God
was showing me was, I am not
00:10:11.16\00:10:14.40
to call any man
common or unclean.
00:10:14.40\00:10:17.60
In other words, what
God is saying is, prejudice
00:10:17.60\00:10:20.36
is not a god.
00:10:20.36\00:10:21.76
Racism is not a god.
00:10:21.76\00:10:23.93
Red and yellow, black and
white, we are all precious
00:10:23.93\00:10:27.06
in God's sight.
00:10:27.06\00:10:28.33
The blood of Jesus is
flowing through all of us.
00:10:28.33\00:10:31.50
Aud.: Amen.
00:10:31.50\00:10:32.50
PB: No man is common or unclean.
00:10:32.50\00:10:38.13
So, repeat after me.
00:10:38.13\00:10:39.13
Say, this is my body.
00:10:39.13\00:10:40.30
Aud.: This is my body.
00:10:40.30\00:10:41.43
PB: God's holy temple.
00:10:41.43\00:10:42.86
Aud.: God's holy temple.
00:10:42.86\00:10:43.86
PB: I've been
bought with a price.
00:10:43.86\00:10:46.40
Aud.: I've been
bought with a price.
00:10:46.40\00:10:48.33
PB: And I glorify Him.
00:10:48.33\00:10:49.20
Aud.: And I glorify Him.
00:10:49.20\00:10:50.23
PB: Pastor Byrd, I don't
know if I can get off pork.
00:10:50.23\00:10:52.70
I don't know if I
can get off shrimp.
00:10:52.70\00:10:54.26
"You can do all
things through Christ, which
00:10:54.26\00:10:59.13
strengtheneth" you.
00:10:59.13\00:11:01.40
All right, that's
what we put in our bodies.
00:11:01.40\00:11:06.00
What about what we let
people do to our bodies?
00:11:06.00\00:11:12.03
Something for everybody.
00:11:12.03\00:11:14.16
'Cause you may not have a
problem with pork, but you may
00:11:14.16\00:11:16.70
have a problem with what
I'm about to talk about now.
00:11:16.70\00:11:19.43
Now, the Bible says in Exodus
20:14, "Thou shalt not commit
00:11:19.43\00:11:26.80
adultery."
00:11:26.80\00:11:27.80
It's getting quiet, now.
00:11:27.80\00:11:30.86
I'm going to call it like it is.
00:11:30.86\00:11:34.66
Fornication, cohabitation.
00:11:34.66\00:11:41.26
You know what cohabitation is.
00:11:41.26\00:11:43.50
That's a nice word for shacking.
00:11:43.50\00:11:46.50
Adultery.
00:11:47.90\00:11:49.10
Have gotten out of control.
00:11:49.10\00:11:53.96
Amen, walls.
00:11:53.96\00:11:54.96
[Laughter] PB: I
don't care what church
00:11:54.96\00:11:59.83
you went to 20 years ago,
10 years ago, 50 years ago.
00:11:59.83\00:12:05.10
I don't care what denomination,
I don't care what church,
00:12:05.10\00:12:07.76
I don't care if you
didn't go to the church.
00:12:07.76\00:12:10.33
If you didn't have the
same last name, it was wrong
00:12:10.33\00:12:13.76
if you stayed in the same room.
00:12:13.76\00:12:15.50
[Aud. reaction] PB:
If you aren't married,
00:12:15.50\00:12:18.76
man to a woman, woman to a man.
00:12:18.76\00:12:23.10
Come on, say amen.
00:12:23.10\00:12:24.10
Aud.: Amen.
00:12:24.10\00:12:25.10
PB: If you aren't married,
you ought not have the same
00:12:25.10\00:12:29.00
bed with somebody else.
00:12:29.00\00:12:32.50
But Pastor Byrd, I'm lonely.
00:12:32.50\00:12:35.06
Well, snuggle up with Jesus.
00:12:35.06\00:12:36.83
I'm lonely, I
don't know what to do.
00:12:36.83\00:12:42.63
Go drink some water.
00:12:42.63\00:12:43.63
Come on, say amen.
00:12:43.63\00:12:44.63
[Aud. reaction]
PB: I'm by myself.
00:12:44.63\00:12:48.90
I don't know what to do.
00:12:48.90\00:12:50.16
I'm lonely, I need
companionship, I need intimacy.
00:12:50.16\00:12:54.36
You go get you a DVD, get
you some microwave popcorn,
00:12:54.36\00:12:58.90
watch a nice little thing,
what is it, Prince of Egypt
00:12:58.90\00:13:02.33
or something.
00:13:02.33\00:13:03.33
And, you go watch it
and you get some popcorn,
00:13:03.33\00:13:06.00
get a blanket and
snuggle up with Jesus.
00:13:06.00\00:13:08.23
Come on, say amen.
00:13:08.23\00:13:10.30
[Aud. reaction]
PB: Let me tell you
00:13:10.30\00:13:13.03
something.
00:13:13.03\00:13:14.76
It's better to be
happily unmarried than to be
00:13:14.76\00:13:19.33
unhappily married.
00:13:19.33\00:13:20.40
I wish I had a
witness in this place.
00:13:20.40\00:13:22.40
But this cohabitation
and shacking, adultery
00:13:22.40\00:13:25.53
has got to stop.
00:13:25.53\00:13:26.53
Come on, say amen.
00:13:26.53\00:13:28.03
Come on, say amen.
00:13:28.03\00:13:29.03
Aud.: Amen.
00:13:29.03\00:13:30.03

00:13:30.03\00:13:31.03
Aud.: Amen.
00:13:31.03\00:13:32.03
PB: Amen.
00:13:32.03\00:13:33.03
Ladies, stop letting these
brothers drive the car before
00:13:33.03\00:13:36.36
they buy the car.
00:13:36.36\00:13:37.36
Come on, say amen.
00:13:37.36\00:13:39.13
Aud.: Amen.
00:13:39.13\00:13:40.16

test driving going on.

00:13:43.03\00:13:44.03
Aud.: Amen.
00:13:44.03\00:13:45.03
PB: You've got to
yield not to temptation.
00:13:45.03\00:13:47.76
For yielding is sin.
00:13:47.76\00:13:49.46
Come on, say amen.
00:13:49.46\00:13:50.46
Aud.: Amen.
00:13:50.46\00:13:51.46
PB: Amen, and
brothers and ladies.
00:13:51.46\00:13:54.23
Brothers, stop
talking about your wife.
00:13:54.23\00:13:56.63
She's lazy,
she's this, she's that.
00:13:56.63\00:13:59.70
Ladies, stop
talking about your husbands.
00:13:59.70\00:14:02.40
Stop talking about your man.
00:14:02.40\00:14:04.13
Women stop talking
about your husbands.
00:14:04.13\00:14:06.20
You'd better know, because
if you're not pitching strikes
00:14:06.20\00:14:09.63
on the mound there's somebody
in the bullpen warming up.
00:14:09.63\00:14:13.00
And you've got to understand,
these same people that you're
00:14:13.00\00:14:16.56
talking to about your
husband, these same people
00:14:16.56\00:14:19.20
you're talking to about
your wife, are the same ones
00:14:19.20\00:14:21.60
trying to get your husband.

00:14:22.73\00:14:25.50
your wife.
00:14:25.50\00:14:26.50
Yeah, I don't like to hear
that, but it's the truth anyhow.
00:14:26.50\00:14:29.50
Come on, say This is my body.
00:14:29.50\00:14:31.40
Aud.: This is my body.
00:14:31.40\00:14:32.76
PB: God's holy temple.
00:14:32.76\00:14:33.86
Aud.: God's holy temple.

PB: I'm going to
give you some more.
00:14:46.80\00:14:50.10
What you put in your body,
what you let do to your body,
00:14:50.10\00:14:52.56
and then what
you put on your body.
00:14:52.56\00:14:57.13
Now, look at Pastor Byrd.
00:14:57.13\00:15:00.90
Don't look around, look at me.
00:15:00.90\00:15:05.70
You'll notice I don't
have anything around my neck,
00:15:05.70\00:15:11.30
I don't have
anything in my ears.
00:15:11.30\00:15:14.30
Why?
00:15:15.43\00:15:16.43
I'm God's temple.
00:15:16.43\00:15:18.43
I believe.
00:15:20.60\00:15:21.60
Listen to me carefully.
00:15:21.60\00:15:23.86
I believe that when people
look at me on the outside,
00:15:23.86\00:15:30.33
they should know that
there's something going on,
00:15:30.33\00:15:35.03
on the inside.
00:15:35.03\00:15:36.03
The fact that I'm a
child of God should be evident,
00:15:36.03\00:15:41.93
I believe, not only when
I talk but also when I walk.
00:15:41.93\00:15:48.00
When you see me, when you're
looking at me, there ought
00:15:48.00\00:15:53.30
to be a difference in modesty
and adornment with a child
00:15:53.30\00:15:57.46
of God.
00:15:57.46\00:15:58.83
Jesus says in Matthew
5:16, "Let your light so shine
00:15:58.83\00:16:04.83
before men that they may
see your good works and glorify
00:16:04.83\00:16:08.36
your Father,
which is in heaven."
00:16:08.36\00:16:11.53
You're not here to
glorify yourself with costly
00:16:11.53\00:16:15.63
array in jewels.
00:16:15.63\00:16:17.06
You are here to glorify God.
00:16:17.06\00:16:19.86
[Aud. reaction] PB:
I just have a belief.
00:16:19.86\00:16:26.13
We're going to talk
about this more on Friday.
00:16:26.13\00:16:30.23
In Revelation, a woman
is depicted as the church.
00:16:30.23\00:16:35.56
A church, I should
say, is depicted as a woman.
00:16:35.56\00:16:39.53
In Revelation 12.
00:16:39.53\00:16:40.66
there is a depiction of a
woman, and this woman represents
00:16:40.66\00:16:47.20
God's true church.
00:16:47.20\00:16:50.13
In Revelation 17, there is
a depiction of another woman,
00:16:50.13\00:16:54.33
and this woman with
costly array in jewels depicts
00:16:54.33\00:17:02.40
the false church.
00:17:02.40\00:17:03.60
If I'm trying to
represent God's true church,
00:17:03.60\00:17:08.93
should not my outward emulate
and reflect God's true church?
00:17:08.93\00:17:18.63
It's not about me,
but it's all about Him.
00:17:18.63\00:17:28.06
I am here to glorify God.
00:17:28.06\00:17:34.13
Now there are some
people that don't like that,
00:17:34.13\00:17:36.56
and there are some people
that got mad with me about that.
00:17:36.56\00:17:39.56
But you know what?
00:17:39.56\00:17:40.56
I'm here to call it like it is.
00:17:40.56\00:17:44.93
To cry aloud and spare not.
00:17:44.93\00:17:49.10
But the thing I have trouble
with, is when people point
00:17:49.10\00:17:51.73
the fingers and look
down on other people.
00:17:51.73\00:17:54.46
Because the reality, friends
of mine, is that we're all
00:17:54.46\00:17:57.10
in the hospital.
00:17:57.10\00:17:58.80
Somebody's on a sick toe floor.
00:17:58.80\00:18:01.60
Somebody's on a
sick heart floor.
00:18:01.60\00:18:04.36
Somebody is on
a pneumonia floor.
00:18:04.36\00:18:07.03
Somebody is on a cancer floor.
00:18:07.03\00:18:09.66
Somebody is on a diabetes floor.
00:18:09.66\00:18:12.26
We are all in a hospital,
and we all need Dr. Jesus
00:18:12.26\00:18:15.70
to heal us.
00:18:15.70\00:18:17.26
Aud.: Amen.
00:18:17.26\00:18:18.26
PB: So somebody may have a
challenge with the Sabbath.
00:18:18.26\00:18:22.23
Jesus can heal them.
00:18:22.23\00:18:24.50
Somebody may have
a challenge with pig.
00:18:24.50\00:18:27.73
Jesus can heal them.
00:18:27.73\00:18:29.66
Somebody may have a
challenge with that 40-ounce.
00:18:29.66\00:18:32.60
But Jesus can heal them.
00:18:32.60\00:18:36.60
Somebody may have a challenge
with costly array in jewels.
00:18:36.60\00:18:39.40
But Jesus can heal them.
00:18:39.40\00:18:43.26
Somebody may have a
challenge with cigarette smoking
00:18:43.26\00:18:45.46
or harmful illicit drugs.
00:18:45.46\00:18:47.43
But Jesus can heal them.
00:18:47.43\00:18:51.13
Somebody may
have a gossip problem.
00:18:51.13\00:18:54.33
But Jesus can heal them.
00:18:54.33\00:18:57.16
Somebody may have a
fornication problem,
00:18:57.16\00:19:00.36
but Jesus can heal them.
00:19:00.36\00:19:03.53
I'm a witness tonight.
00:19:03.53\00:19:05.16
All of us are sick.
00:19:05.16\00:19:06.90
All of us have sinned.
00:19:06.90\00:19:08.56
All of us have come
short of the glory of God.
00:19:08.56\00:19:11.40
The wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal
00:19:11.40\00:19:18.20
life through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
00:19:18.20\00:19:25.83
Dr. Jesus can heal it.
00:19:25.83\00:19:30.36
Whatever you're
dealing with, He can heal it.
00:19:30.36\00:19:34.80
You're a chosen
generation of royal priesthood.
00:19:34.80\00:19:39.26
God has called you
out of darkness into
00:19:39.26\00:19:41.63
His marvelous light.
00:19:41.63\00:19:43.26
At the end of the day,
our beauty shall reside
00:19:43.26\00:19:46.76
not in outward adornment
but on what's on the inside.
00:19:46.76\00:19:50.70
But we have to ask
ourselves, what would Jesus do?
00:19:50.70\00:19:54.83
If we're following
Jesus, we're always safe.
00:19:54.83\00:19:58.40
Jesus is our example.
00:19:58.40\00:20:00.06
I can't see Jesus
eating everything.
00:20:00.06\00:20:02.76
I can't see Jesus
drinking everything.
00:20:02.76\00:20:05.36
I can't see Jesus
wearing everything.
00:20:05.36\00:20:08.90
We must understand, it
takes our everything to serve
00:20:08.90\00:20:13.20
the Lord.
00:20:13.20\00:20:14.63
Some want a crown, but
they don't want to bear a cross.
00:20:14.63\00:20:18.43
But it takes
everything to serve the Lord.
00:20:18.43\00:20:23.46
Some want to be seen,
but they don't want to live
00:20:23.46\00:20:27.83
clean.
00:20:27.83\00:20:29.86
But it takes
everything to serve the Lord.
00:20:29.86\00:20:36.46
"Whether therefore ye eat
or drink or whatsoever ye do,
00:20:36.46\00:20:45.76
do all to the glory of God."
00:20:45.76\00:20:50.46
This is my body,
God's holy temple.
00:20:50.46\00:21:01.10
I've been bought with a price.
00:21:01.10\00:21:06.70
And I glorify Him.
00:21:06.70\00:21:11.33
I cannot live any old
way, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
00:21:11.33\00:21:14.80
Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday and then come on
00:21:14.80\00:21:17.63
God's Sabbath, the seventh-day
Saturday, and sow my wild
00:21:17.63\00:21:21.10
oats during the week
and pray for a crop failure
00:21:21.10\00:21:23.50
on Sabbath.
00:21:23.50\00:21:24.50
[Aud. reaction]
PB: But every day
00:21:24.50\00:21:28.16
you see me, you
should be able to know
00:21:28.16\00:21:32.00
that's a child of God.
00:21:32.00\00:21:34.53
The greatest sermon ever
preached, my friends, is not
00:21:34.53\00:21:36.80
the one that's
preached from this pulpit.
00:21:36.80\00:21:40.00
The greatest sermon
that's ever preached is the one
00:21:40.00\00:21:42.10
that is lived.
00:21:42.10\00:21:44.63
They will know we are
Christians by our love for God
00:21:44.63\00:21:53.13
and our love for one another.
00:21:53.13\00:22:00.76
Tonight I love God.
00:22:00.76\00:22:02.76
And I know sometimes it's hard.
00:22:03.80\00:22:05.80
Sometimes it's
difficult, sometimes it's new.
00:22:05.80\00:22:10.26
Pastor Byrd, you're
talking about lifestyle changes.
00:22:10.26\00:22:12.70
I'm sold out for Jesus.
00:22:12.70\00:22:19.60
Whatever He wants me
to do, I've got to do.
00:22:19.60\00:22:21.66
I'm sold out for Jesus.
00:22:21.66\00:22:25.76
It amazes me, it trips me out.
00:22:25.76\00:22:27.96
We can be sold out, we can
be in love with folk we have
00:22:27.96\00:22:30.56
never seen.
00:22:30.56\00:22:32.33
Only what we see on the
Internet, only what we see
00:22:32.33\00:22:34.33
on TV, and we
respect them and we give them
00:22:34.33\00:22:36.73
all this homage.
00:22:36.73\00:22:37.93
But how much more the
One, 2,000 years ago, who went
00:22:37.93\00:22:41.06
to die for you.
00:22:41.06\00:22:42.06
He went to die for me.
00:22:42.06\00:22:44.30
And I love Him so much,
because He first loved me.
00:22:46.30\00:22:56.26
Now, I can decide as a Christian
to follow God all the way,
00:22:56.26\00:23:00.83
or I can say I'm going
to do what I want to do
00:23:00.83\00:23:02.83
and I just hope that God,
He'll wink at my ignorance
00:23:02.83\00:23:06.23
or He'll wink at my behavior.
00:23:06.23\00:23:07.56
And we always have this
saying, He knows my heart.
00:23:07.56\00:23:09.93
And the reality is, yes He does.
00:23:09.93\00:23:11.93
He knows if we really love
Him with all of our hearts.
00:23:15.86\00:23:22.16
Tonight, I hope you do.
00:23:22.16\00:23:27.93
Because if there is
anything in your life.
00:23:27.93\00:23:30.40
Anything.
00:23:30.40\00:23:31.40
Anything in your life that's
hindering you in your walk
00:23:31.40\00:23:35.43
with Christ, your
prayer ought to be Lord,
00:23:35.43\00:23:37.96
take it away.
00:23:37.96\00:23:38.96
Take it away!
00:23:38.96\00:23:43.63
God, I want to be
a fit vessel for You.
00:23:43.63\00:23:45.63
Take it away.
00:23:45.63\00:23:46.63
And I know, I
know it's not popular.
00:23:46.63\00:23:55.26
I know we can get people
to come in and sing, guest
00:23:55.26\00:24:01.50
artist, church
packed full of people.
00:24:01.50\00:24:03.50
But He's coming back for
a church, He's coming back
00:24:03.50\00:24:08.56
for a people
without spot or wrinkle.
00:24:08.56\00:24:11.10
The Bible is
clear, friends of mine.
00:24:11.10\00:24:15.90
The Bible is clear that as
it was in the days of Noah,
00:24:15.90\00:24:19.40
in Matthew 24.
00:24:19.40\00:24:20.50
So shall it also be in
the coming of the Son of Man.
00:24:20.50\00:24:23.50
Which means, as it was
in Noah's day, just before
00:24:23.50\00:24:26.06
Jesus' coming it's
going to be the same way.
00:24:26.06\00:24:28.10
People doing
whatever they want to do.
00:24:28.10\00:24:30.10
Marrying, giving in marriage.
00:24:30.10\00:24:31.10
Drinking, living
any old kind of way.
00:24:31.10\00:24:33.53
That's how it was in
Noah's day, before the Lord had
00:24:33.53\00:24:35.53
to destroy this earth by flood.
00:24:35.53\00:24:37.00
That's just how it's
going to be right before
00:24:37.00\00:24:39.00
Jesus' second coming.
00:24:39.00\00:24:40.03
So you know,
really I'm encouraged.
00:24:40.03\00:24:45.63
Because the reality is, I
recognize when we opened this
00:24:45.63\00:24:50.60
revival, when we
preach that Jesus thing,
00:24:50.60\00:24:52.66
everybody feeling good.
00:24:52.66\00:24:53.66
Place is packed,
people jumping up, shouting
00:24:53.66\00:24:55.66
and everything, doing
all that kind of stuff.
00:24:55.66\00:24:57.66
But then when you start
preaching that Word, when you
00:24:57.66\00:25:01.36
start preaching what's
not popular, people begin
00:25:01.36\00:25:05.26
to scatter.
00:25:05.26\00:25:06.26
But you know what?
00:25:06.26\00:25:07.26
I'm encouraged, 'cause Noah
preached 120 years and the only
00:25:07.26\00:25:10.80
people that got in the
boat were himself, his wife,
00:25:10.80\00:25:14.46
their three sons
and their three wives.
00:25:14.46\00:25:17.73
The reality is, for all of
that preaching, he could have
00:25:17.73\00:25:21.56
just had family worship
and they could have gotten
00:25:21.56\00:25:23.56
in the boat.
00:25:23.56\00:25:24.56
But the fact that
you're still here, God's Spirit
00:25:24.56\00:25:31.26
is still striving with you.
00:25:31.26\00:25:35.03
The fact that you're still
here lets me know you really
00:25:35.03\00:25:37.36
do love God.
00:25:37.36\00:25:38.36
And you really want to
be ready when He comes.
00:25:38.36\00:25:44.03
Praise be to God!
00:25:44.03\00:25:47.73

>: We'd all like to live
healthier lives, but doing so
00:26:49.03\00:26:51.80
and maintaining it
aren't always so easy.
00:26:51.80\00:26:54.40
It's hard when the foods
we love are also the foods
00:26:54.40\00:26:56.76
that can hurt us the most.
00:26:56.76\00:26:58.06
And when it's easier to
watch TV than it is to exercise.
00:26:58.06\00:27:01.60
What we need are
straight answers and some
00:27:01.60\00:27:03.73
encouragement.
