Hey, Hey, I'm back with something for you to think about. Sometime God shake you to wake you. Oh I know that hits someone. Let me say it again. Sometimes God shake you to wake you. Some of you need a good shaking up. There is so much going on in this world, and let me make you understand something. Things are not just going on. They're not just happening. They're not just occurring. People are making them happen. So much is going on in this world. All around the
globe. People are doing the most outlandish things, you know, and God every day gives you a chance to get your lives together. But people are not taking that chance. People are taking living for granted. Some people act as if they're never gonna die. Some people are old, I mean, in their seventies and eighties and sealed during the same crap that they did in their earlier years. Just no kind of change, no desire to change. And I chalk it all up to the fact that people don't believe God is
real. But sometimes God shake you up like he did Job. And I'm not saying Joe did anything, but sometime God just got to show you by breaking you all the way down. No matter what you go through. I still am God, I still am the Great. I am. I still am who I say that I am. I don't care what you're going through. I don't care how you feel. I don't care what the devil try to put in your head. You sticking, stay with God, You sticking
to stay with Jesus. Jesus already paid the price. And I know sometimes we go through things and we're like lords. I thought Jesus paid the price. Why am I going through this? Why am I suffering like this? Why do travesty after travesty happened in my life, tragedy after tragedy. If Jesus paid the price, I'm here to tell you Jesus did pay the price. But if you know the word of God, you know we gotta go through sooner or later. No one of us are exempt. We're gonna go
through some things in life. And sometimes it's like a snowball effect. And when I say a snowball effect, I mean once to start rolling, it gets momentum and every time you look around it's something, something, something. But I tell you, stay with Jesus. Sometimes God's trying to shake you up because his desire is for none of us to perish. So sometimes he gotta shake us in order to wake us. Unfortunately, sometimes even with the shaking, people don't wake up and they die in their mess. They die
the very same. I know. Sometimes it is seems brutal, the things you go through, it is heartbreaking. But God sometimes shake you to wake you because he wishes for none of us to perish. He wishes for none of us to die, lose our soul and go to Hell. That's not his desire for none of us. Hell wasn't even made for us. That was made for the devil. None of us have to go to Hell. We go by choice. So when you're going through, yes, sometimes God
shake you because he's trying to wake you up. He don't want to turn you over to that reprobate mind. He don't want you to die in your sin. He don't want you to gain the world to lose your soul. You know, for years and years and years, I was on the bandwagon of saying people sold their souls. On people selling their souls. I was on their band wagon too, because I didn't know better. I didn't understand until recently God gave it to me. Don't say that again, because these
are my souls, all of them. They're all my souls. They belonged to me. I created them, not the devil. I created the devil. The devil cannot gain your souls. People lose their souls to the world, to Satan, but they can't sell them because they're not theirs to sell. Number one, no one has the authority or the power to purchase anyone's soul. But they can lose their soul by their lifestyles, by their choices. So sometimes God shake you. He's not trying to force you, but
he wants you to wake up before it's too late. Oh my God, when I think about, oh hallelujah, when I think about where he brought me from, what he brought me out of, He brought me out of mess. You hear me. I'm not saying I was into some craziness. I wasn't. But still I was doing things that was against the Lord. And I thank him for keeping me. I thank him for keeping me through all of my trauma. He brought me out in my right mind still with
a loving heart, with forgiveness, strength, power. He wishes for none of us to die and lose our souls to hell. So yes, some of us. He shake us in many different ways. You know, some people just own thickness, just oh I have this, I have that. No, because he said he wishes us to be in good health. He wants us to prosper, be in good health as our soul prospers. So don't go around claiming illnesses, stop labeling yourselves. Give it all to the
lords. Yes, he comes to shake you sometime because he's trying to wake you up before it's too late. He's given you a choice. He don't even have to shake you. He could just let it be. He could just let you keep going the way you've been going. But he loves you so much. Sometime he shake you. But you think, oh, how can he do this if he's real? So many people ask that question. So many people become angry with God. They become angry. But you must
know the word for yourself. You will know why you go through anything. Yes, we go through things. We lose our loved ones, we lose our friends, we lose our significant others, our children, our parents, ourselves, blings. But let me tell you that's a part of life. Sometimes people lose multiple family members. We've lost multiple family members several times when I say multiple. I'm to about two and three, not weeks and days. A part of them come out together. It happens. I've told you
about a cousin that I have who lost all of her immediate family. That's just how it is. Sometimes it don't seem like it should be, but it does happen, and it makes me think about the story of Joe. Joe, I mean, he went through leotro see on his skin, lost everything, all his family, his children, everything he had, but he still staying with the Lord. He did not turn his back even when his wife said, you are the purse God and die. Joe said, woman,
you sound foolish. You don't sound like my wife. And he stood where he always stood, and that's with the Lords. So sometimes God shake you. Sometimes he shake you so you can see where you're at. Some people have all of this talk. Oh, I love the Lord, I love the Lord. I'll live and die for the Lord, and this and that, and something comes in your life and there you falter. Sometime God want to show you who you really are to your self, because you fool
people for so long, you fooled yourself for so long. He want to show you who you really are. You're not my child, You're not living what you profess. Sometimes people fool themselves. So he shake you so you can see you're now who you say you are. Sometimes he shake you so you can see He is still who he saves, who we say he was back then. He's still that same God to day. Sometimes he shake you so you can understand he still is a healer. He's a mind regulator,
a heart fixer. But you have to believe. You have to have faith and believe that he is he say he is. You gotta believe that you have power that you have not activated within you. Sometimes he shake you up so you can activate that power. Sometimes he shake you up so you can really truly rely on him and not just talk it, but walk it. He shakes us up sometimes for many of reasons I've gone through. I'm like, Lord, have mercy, Jesus. There was a time in my life
I was like, God, where are you? Do you hear me? Why am I going through this? I don't understand. I'm faithful, I love you, But Oh, through it all, through it all, he strengthened me and he kept me. My faith got stronger and stronger. That's what he wants for us. He wants true saints of God. He wants warriors. He don't want people who say one thing and do another. He have no interest in hypocrites. He have no interest in prideful people. He
have no interest in vain people. He wants truthful people who serve him and understand with truth with every fiber of their being. He wants people to trust him through the darkness, through all the tribes and tribulations, through all your storms. He wants you to trust them, even when it looked bleak, when you just can't see your weight. That's what faith comes in, because faith is the substance of things hoped for. Ever then the things not seeing
you have to believe it so as if it's already done. That's who he's looking for. And I just say thank you, Jesus, thank you, because I know I've been on that side too. Lord, I don't understand, but everything is not meant for us to understand. We just gotta have faith. We have to keep the faith. We must hold on and keep the faith no matter what it is, no matter what to look like feel
like. We must keep the faith. That's what he wants. He wants us to believe, and he want us to live our lives as if we believe. He don't want us to be those people that just give that good sounding hip service. He wants us to be true saints. True because many people call themselves Christians, many people call themselves saints of God, but their lifestyles tell the truth. They're in the poor pits. They're everywhere calling themselves
Christians and saints of God, but they're doing terrible things. They're living their lives against God. They are those who are doing all of the lip service, but they're not living it. Their hearts are far from the Lord. Their lips speak of them of Him, but their hearts are far from him. But it's all in the world. So sometimes God shake us to wake us. Now, he can get your intil your attention when he wants to at any given second, but he's not trying to do that. He's not
trying to force you. When he shake you, he's not trying to force you. He just nudging you, trying to get you to open your eyes before it's too late. But he's not forcing you, because if he wanted to, he could, But he don't want to be that type of God. He wants you to come to him on your own, on your very own, not because someone else is influencing you, but because you want to.
You want to serve him. So sometimes did he shake us to try to wake us before it's too late, because he loves us just that much. When he puts you through some things, it don't feel like he loves you. It does not feel he loves you, But he loves you. If he didn't, he wouldn't do it. So count it all joy through the midst of your storms. Count it all joy. Stop complaining, Oh Lord, why me? Why am I going through this? Why am I going through that? And believe that he is who he says, yet servants
through it all, keeps a faith. The devil just wants you. He's licking his chops. He wants you so bad. He wants you confused in your mind. If you're confused in your mind, you can't focus on the Lord. He wants you confused in your mind. He wants you focused on the world. He wants you focus on things. He wants you focus on sex. He wants you to focus on drugs and alcohol. When I look at the things people put themselves in, Oh my goodness, I was watching
TV, and I'm telling you, I cried for the people. I cried for the people because the states that some people are in the states of mind. If you don't believe me, you go and you google YouTube. You google for the streets of Kenningston, Philadelphia, Google Dallas, Texas, Washington State, almost anywhere, Detroit, Michigan, almost anywhere. You look at how affected people are by drugs and alcohol. I mean, it is horrifying. It is beyond horrifying how drugged out people are. I mean, I
cried for the people because it makes no sense. No one has to live like that. It is horrific. People look like zombies. They are so drugged out. They look like living zombies. They're living in the natural, but they're dead, completely dead spiritually, and they're possessed. People don't know. When you are drugs addicted, you are possessed. Demons can enter your body, entities can enter your body. When I look at those shows, I mean, it is breathtaking, seriously, that people give their lives to
that mess. That people don't feel that they have no hope at all. But that's exactly the mindset the devil wants you to have. And if that's what you choose. God is gonna let you choose it. See, people get it all wrong. People get angry at God. Why you allowed us? No youth allowed it? You open yourself up to it. Not one time, that's the devil. Say hey, it's me or God. You
chose the devil. You chose that drug you. I don't care if the devil stood before you and said this or that, you still made the choice. But people get angry at God, Why you allow us in my life? Yeah? Sure, He allows things to happen. Something's happened that we have no control over. But still God wants us to have faith. He wants us to believe, He wants us to trust and through it all.
Yes, sometimes he shakes us to wake us. It don't work for everybody, because no matter what, some people don't want to serve the Lord, no matter what, and they won't even the word tell us when God returned, there's still gonna be people who will not serve them, who do not want to. They won't change. But I'm telling you, those who are listening, if you are on the fence, I want to tell you there is no fence. There is no offense that is a lie, Oh I
believe that too long time ago. But there is no fence. It's either for the Lord or against him. Period. There's no in between you. So some of you are like, oh, I don't know, I don't m No, either you're for him or against him. Some people blame other people. I'm not going to church because they do this and they do that in church. Well, if they're doing this and that in church, that's not a church of God. Duh. Come on, stop making excuses.
Don't let somebody else cause you to go to hell because you're making excuses. Oh well, I saw them do this in church. I saw them do that in church. That's not a church of God. Simple, it's not a church of God. So stop making excuses for why you don't go to church, why you don't serve the Lord, because, first of all, the churches within you. When Jesus say he's coming back for the church without spot or regal, he's not talking about the what's in between those four walls.
He's talking about for the people, the hearts of minds that's stayed on him. So stop making excuses for why you don't serve the Lord. You don't serve them because that's your choice. Man has no heaven nor Hell to put you in, So why are you giving them the powers to keep you from church when technically it's inside of you. So yes, God sometimes shake you to wake you because he loves you just that much. He loves you just that much, So please get it together before it's too late. When
it's over, it's over on this side. What you get on the other side is what you've chose while you were on the side. That's the type of living you're gonna live in the hereafter. That's why God give you so many chances. Every day you wake up as a new chance. But so many people that just live it like they live the day before, don't try to change at all. And it's disappointing. It's heartbreaking to the Lord. I wanted to give, give to you what God gave to me, give
to you, and I hope it touched someone. He loves you despite of it all. He loves you. He loved me, wretched soul like myself. He loved me. And I'm grateful and I'm thankful. And for the past fifteen sixteen years I've been solid, solid rocket with Jesus, and I intend to go all the way to the end, so what you do is your choice. I'm just giving you the information.
