Pastor Keion (00:00:24):
Thank you Holy Spirit, that you don’t leave anything like you found it, that if we come to you blind, we leave sing. If we come to you, lame, we leave walking. If we come to you death, we leave hearing and if we come to you lacking, we leave with more than we came with. We thank you God. That increase is our future. Increase is how the story ends. Increase was what you had in mind the entire time and we thank you for your power. It is in the matchless name of Jesus we pray and if you love the Lord, come on and lose your mind and give him praise. Touch three people to say increase, increase, increase, increase. I don’t know how to say it other than God has endowed this church. No goodness of our own, but he has endowed this church with a multiplicity of gifts and talents and we should be grateful. I said we should be grateful. I don’t know what will happen next Sunday, but I do know that from the moment we walked in this building until today, God has met us here. Every week I come up against any spirit that would distract

(00:02:17):
Or deteriorate God’s abiding in this space. Lord, this is your space. We are your people, the sheep of your pastor. It is you who made us and not we ourselves. We thank you for your grace and mercy. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. I don’t know why I just heard your grace and mercy me through living this moment because of you. I want to and praise you to your grace and mercy me through we shall overcome, we shall overcome, we shall overcome. Deep in my heart, I do believe we shall overcome some. Hallelujah. Let’s go to the book of two Samuel chapter six, two Samuel chapter six, verse 16. The Bible says, and as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michael Sas daughter looked through a window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord and she despised him in her heart. This is literally a man of God worshiping God, being judged by the woman God gave him

(00:05:11):
And they brought in the ark of the Lord and set it in place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. And as soon as David had made an end of the offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of host and he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel as well to the women as men, to everyone was given some bread and a piece of meat and some wines. So all the people departed everyone into his own house. Are you still with me? Verse 20 says, then David returned to bless his household and Michael, the daughter of Saul, his wife came out to meet David and said, how glorious was the king of Israel today who uncovered himself today in the eyes of his handmaids and servants because David had danced out of his clothes and she said, basically, you ought to be ashamed of yourself for uncovering yourself in front of these girls. And David said unto Michael, I ain’t thinking about them. This was for the Lord,

(00:06:28):
Which actually he chose me before your daddy did and appointed me to rule over these people over Israel. Therefore I will do what I want before him and I will yet be more vowed than thus and I will do it again if I have to in front of the same maid servants if need be. And therefore Michael, the daughter of Saul, as a result of trying to stop his worship, the Bible says in verse 23, she had no children, don’t dry up your womb worried about my worship. Don’t get in between what I’m doing for God. You might not like it, but shut your mouth because this ain’t for you. Do I have any real worshipers in here? You get funny looks every once in a while from the worshipers who want to kind of tell you how you should worship.

Speaker 3 (00:08:00):
Do

Pastor Keion (00:08:00):
Me a favor, tell your neighbor it ain’t none of your business how I worship him. I can sing off key. I can be loud as I want to, as long as it’s coming from say, neighbor, you want to know why. The reason why I worship him the way I am is because I was wired for worship. That’s what I want to talk about wired. This is just how I was made. I don, I don’t do this anywhere else, but something about the presence of God. High five, everybody you can reach on your way down and tell ’em I’m wired to worship. You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. So everybody’s having the artificial intelligence conversation, ai, this and AI that is amazing what artificial intelligence can do. I literally was at a meeting in Dallas a couple of weeks ago. They brought a woman up on the screen. I thought it was a real person. It was an artificially created intelligent being that was responding to the person in the room. We saw a machine that literally now and it’s coming out, you can stand in the proximity of this camera and be in three dimensional form anywhere in the world in multiple times, locations, and time zones at the same time.

(00:10:24):
Which means today is going to come that when I go to Africa, you don’t have to get on the plane to come with me. I can take you there while you stay here and three dimensionally superimposed myself on this stage while you sit there and see me in Africa. In fact, things are going so crazy that our church just switched over to a new system and you’re going to see it in the next coming months that when I stand up to preach on Sunday, by the time the middle of the year gets here while I’m preaching in English, all services will be translated into 90 languages at the same time. So I don’t have to have an interpreter standing here next to me when I speak. It’ll go out in the language. Not too long ago, my wife and I were in Las Vegas and we went to go see Usher. So what I went twice and they tried to hold me to a different standard, but I seen all of them in there with me and we went and we went to the new building, the spear. Y’all ever seen the spear? Yes. We walked in this building, which is the most incredible building in the world

(00:11:54):
And literally they had robots talking to you and responding to your questions. The crazy part was is that they had lights on the floor in circles and depending on what circle you were standing in, determine what language you heard from the same speaker. Did you hear what I just said? If you were standing here, you heard English. If you were standing here, you heard Spanish. If you were standing here, you heard Mandarin all coming from the same source and it’s not all evil because of artificial intelligence. Doctors are going to be able to perform surgeries and you’ll be able to get the best surgeon to perform the surgery on you even if they’re not in Houston because of robotics. They can fold a post-it note into a paper airplane with artificial intelligence from a distance. I’m just trying to get you to see that the world has changed and to everybody who’s afraid of technology, you’re about to be lost to those of y’all who still got to flip phone because you don’t want to. Some of y’all still got a star tack and a Nokia 5,100 right now still got your next tail shirt

(00:13:42):
And we on iPhone about to be 16 and you still talking about no, this three working fine. Lemme tell you it ain’t. We text you on Tuesday, you don’t respond to Friday the way things wired. It’s just just amazing at the things that are able to be done right now, but as afraid, y’all still with me? Philip, as afraid as we are of artificial intelligence, it’s to the uneducated because still to this day, the most complexed and most powerful computer on the earth is still the human mind.

(00:14:34):
The human mind is the most comprehensive, explosive, compact hard drive in the earth. And lemme tell you something, no matter what technology does, it will never, I don’t care what they tell you, it will never replace people because even when the machines are in charge, it takes people to build the machines and to repair the machines. By the way, if you’re trying to tell your children what to do next, you better teach them how to code. You better teach them how to do things in the electronic field. You better teach them how to do things in technology because everything will be coded and your child can have a future in making sure that it doesn’t have a skillset that is antiquated but is already equipped for tomorrow. The human brain is still the most powerful thing on the earth and it is not going anywhere. Why? Because God doesn’t use artificial intelligence. He uses people. Can you say amen? Amen. The mind, ladies and gentlemen, your brain has so many different parts and the problem with the brain is, is that it fights against itself. For instance, your logical mind is always an opposition with your emotional mind. The things that you know and the things that you feel are always combating one another, but the mind is still more powerful because the artificial intelligence, it may have intelligence but it won’t have emotions.

(00:16:15):
It won’t know how to know whether this is an authentic threat or should I have compassion. It will only be able to do what it’s programmed or wired to do. Don’t go to sleep. I’m on my way. It will only be able to do what it’s wired to do. It won’t be able to do anything outside of what it was created to do. And anything outside of what it was created to do is a malfunction which then makes sure that the person who creates it destroys it because it’s not doing what it was wired

(00:16:55):
To do. Are y’all listening to me? It is not doing what it was wired to do. So science has confirmed that the human brain is naturally configured to perform advanced calculations congruent with a computer and the process by which our brain calculates is called listen, the Bain inference. And what the basin inference simply means is that our brains have the ability to accomplish anything that it was taught, experienced or learned. Which means that you who are sitting in this room and those of you who are watching me online, you did not create yourself. You think how you think you respond, how you respond, and you reason how. You reason based on the people, places and experiences that had an impact on you before you got here today. Which means that if you have a smart mouth, you were not born with it. You heard it. If you have a temper, you were not born as a child with a temper. You were born from somebody who had one. This is going to be hard in here today because we are all created blank slates. Yes, we have our own DNA, but what we learned, how we reason how you decorated your house is not of your own fruition. It came from how you were raised. Your couch is where it is because of your mama’s couch.

(00:18:37):
Okay? Some of y’all right now you can lay in the bed with your clothes on, but because of how your mama raised you, you got to take a shower before you can sit on the comforter. Come on. Ain’t going to say man’s, just say ouch. For some of y’all, you can go to bed with dishes in the sink. If you had a mama like mine, you have better not go to bed with no dishes in her sink. Hallelujah. Not only that, you can’t go to sleep with ’em in the dishwasher and if you put ’em in the dishwasher, you better take ’em through the sink before you put ’em in the dishwasher and when you take ’em out the dishwasher, you better dry ’em before you put ’em up. Some of y’all can walk around the house with your shoes on. Some people got to take ’em off. How many of y’all are taking your shoes off at the door? Family, Lord have mercy. Everybody don’t be going over these house beat people, house barefoot because you going and they ain’t got no socks. Everybody was taught different. Everybody was born different. Everybody was wired.

(00:19:51):
Oh God, I ain’t got no help in here today. You were raised how you were raised way you, the way you act, everything where you grew up. Some of y’all grew up in the suburbs, some of y’all grew up in the hood. That’s the world of difference. Now there’s a difference between those of y’all who grew up in the suburbs trying to act hood. We can tell you worship, how you worship based on what church you went to. Some of y’all went to a Baptist church where they didn’t speak in tongue. Some of y’all went to a church of God in Christ where they thought all the Baptist folks was going to hell and all they did was speak in tongue. Some of y’all came from a Pentecostal background. You start dancing before you got out of the car. We all come from different and some of y’all were Catholic and you don’t know what’s going on in here. You just, and anytime we get loud, you just what is going on? We all are who we are because of how we were raised, where we came from. Some of y’all ate real dressing. Some of y’all called stove top dressing. Let me clear the records. Stove top is not dressing.

(00:21:08):
I don’t know what it is, but it ain’t dressing. And the only real cornbread on the earth is Jiffy. All y’all, you can make a muffin out of it. You can make a cake out of it, put you some sugar and butter on it and you got a pound cake. You know what I’m talking about? Only black folk could take Jiffy and put eggs and water and milk and vanilla abstract and got a pound cake and then got the nerve to fry it. I’m just stating my case. We all wired different. See, maybe you could go and open a refrigerator every time you wanted to, but if you was in my mama house and you opened that refrigerator for too long, my mama going to say the same thing that was in it the last time you looked. Close my door. Oh, and don’t leave the front door open and the air conditioners on because I’m not trying to air condition the whole state. And that was when we could turn it on running in and out of the house. Y’all kids just coming in and coming out. Mama say if you come in, you stand in, get out. My

Speaker 4 (00:22:39):
House

Pastor Keion (00:22:42):
Wired different. My mama had her own juice in the refrigerator, Mr. Pure papaya, we had Kool-Aid. You see, and we knew how to stretch it because there was dust left in the package that you would run water in. I’m just trying to find out what kind of church I got If you so did it folk threw that package away without putting water in it. I can’t preach to you. I can’t preach to you. Somebody shout, I’m wired different. We’re all different. You got that part. But here’s the antithesis as it relates to worship. We were all created the same as it relates and pertains to worship. Every one of you were created with your DNA, your blood type and your DNA may match your parents. But your desire to worship matches your creator

Speaker 4 (00:23:57):
And

Pastor Keion (00:23:58):
Any person who is not worshiping God is malfunctioning and the creator has no need for a product that doesn’t work for him. So if you want to figure out how to get God to grant favor on your life, you just better learn how to worship him in season and out of season. You need to learn to worship him. Whether you have money in the bank or whether you got food stamps on the table, you need to worship God. Whether you are catching a bus or you got a Bentley, whether your children are sum laude or they’re behind prison bars. I have learned to be content. Somebody shout, I’m a worshiper. I’m a Psalms 100 says, serve the Lord with gladness coming to his presence. See, this is the problem. When you a real worshiper, you don’t come here for here to get you ready, you come here ready? Oh God,

(00:25:10):
I don’t know who I’m talking to. How many of y’all knew you were coming to church today? You know you’re not at a grocery store, right? You know you’re not so you are at the house of God. What goes on in the house of God to worship? What was I wired for? Worship. So I was glad when they said unto me, let us go. I don’t know about y’all, but I grew up in a time where Sunday started on Saturday night, I iron my clothes listening to the right music. I got myself ready. So when I walked into the house of the Lord, I didn’t need them to sing a song. I came in with my own music. It’s not three people to say I’m a worshiper. I’m a worshiper. I’m so much a worshiper. If you don’t worship, I’m going to worship for you because I won’t let no rock crowd for me. I don’t need no dead. Folks on my row ask for me and my role. We’ll serve slap three people and say this is a worship section. Worship this a worship section. It’s a worship section. I don’t care if you grew up Catholic. It’s a worship section. I don’t care if you went to a Catholic school. This is a worship section. I don’t care if you a Pentecostal, this is a worship section. I don’t care if you a non-denominational. This is a worship section. What do I mean? I might just shout without warning I might run if ain’t nobody chasing me, I might cry if I don’t.

(00:26:41):
Why? Because I was wired to worship. You can think I’m acting all you want, but I was wired to worship. I’m not clapping for you. I’m clapping for see you. You don’t know what he did. That’s what happened. When people looking at you and they judging your worship. You grew up in a church. I can’t tell you. You know what? Don’t worry about where I grew up. Look at where I’m standing. I’m in the house of God trying to make a hundred because 99 and a half do I have anybody say no. I didn’t grow up doing it, but I learned that the closer I draw to him, the closer he draws to me. And praise is what I do. It’s who I am. It’s what I do. When I wake up in the morning, this ain’t just Sunday morning, I do this at red lights. I do this when I’m washing dishes. I do this at the job and when my boss get on my nerve, if I tell you what I really wanted to do, you wouldn’t believe me. So what I do is I wash you, slap somebody. Say I was born for this. I was born for this.

(00:28:06):
The Bible says in Psalms 95 it says, oh, come let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord. See, that’s the problem. Most of us come into his presence too high. We come to be entertained. We come and if they don’t sing the song we won. We sit there and we look at ’em. And if it ain’t on key and you’re judging folk who are off key, we hear you out there too. You ain’t that great a singer yourself. So let’s all just worship him together in spirit. We got too many agendas. Can’t worship because you worried about what somebody wearing can’t worship because you worried about who somebody came with that’s different than the person that came with last week. Mind your business and shut your mouth and worship God because people in here trying to figure it out, they’re trying to work it out. And yes, they may have dated somebody last month and they’re dating somebody else this month, but you’re going to be the same person to talk about ’em if they married the wrong person. So shut your mouth and just worship your God. Matter of fact, just touch three people. Say I might date five more people this year. Just get used to it

(00:29:17):
And we going to sit right here next to you. I’m going to introduce you to Earl next month. The only reason why we keep judging people’s worship is because we think we’re center stage. Nobody came here. See you. Nobody came here to impress you. I came here to see God. I came to have an encounter with Jesus and if you are wondering why I do the same thing every Sunday is because I was wired. That’s why I shout every once in a while. That’s why I scream every once in a while. Yes, I cry every Sunday because I was wired like this. I was wired to worship. I might be a pastor, but I wasn’t created for that purpose. Initially I was created to worship him. You may be an athlete and thank God for your gift, but you are not created to be a basketball player. You are not created to be a baseball player. You are not created to be a gymnast. You are created to be a worshiper and you just so happen to be able to. You’re a worshiper, whether you’re a lawyer, whether you’re a doctor, whether you are a mechanic. Before anything

Speaker 4 (00:31:00):
Worship,

Pastor Keion (00:31:03):
You were wired to worship in street clothes, in suits, Sundays, Wednesdays, worship in spirit and in truth, that was something special about David. They couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him because even from a young man, he had this thing for worship. He was out there worshiping in the field working with sheep. Even when Saul was trying to kill him, he found a way to worship. See real worshipers are not real. Worshipers are not people who only worship when others are worshiping. Real worshipers are not worshipers who only worship when you get a bonus on the job. Real worship will say, if I’m out here in a field or I’m in the palace, I got the same mindset. God is good all the time and all the time he’s good. So whether I took a pay cut or got to pay increase, when I get to church on Sunday, I’m going to shout because it’s not about what’s happening to me. Greater is he. That is, let me tell you the difference between those of you all who understand and those who are confused. We’ve got two types of people in the room. You’ve got praisers

(00:32:33):
And we’ve got worshipers. Now you can praise and not be a worshiper, but you can’t be worshiper. So what’s appraiser? Appraiser is a person who gives God adoration in exchange for stuff. So God, he blessed me with my student loan debt. Thank you Jesus. He got me a job. Hallelujah. He helped me to pay off my car. Thank you. That’s appraiser. Here’s a worshiper. They repossessed my car yesterday, but God must got some better for me. I don’t know who I am preaching to in this house, but what the redeem of the Lord worshipers say Last time I went to the doctor, I saw they saw something, but I know when I go back they’re not going to see anything because my God is evil. I could shut the sermon down if you would respond to this statement. Ain’t he all right? I could just shut it down. I could shut it down. Anybody know God is good. I could shut it down. If he don’t do anything else, he’s already done enough. I could shut it down.

(00:34:19):
One of the first executive decisions David makes when he becomes king is to get the tabernacle back to Jerusalem. Well, what’s the tabernacle? It is the physical presence of the indwelling presence of God. The tabernacle is the thing that had the manna and the law and Aaron’s rod inside of it. It was the thing that was behind the holies of holies that represented the presence of God and only the high priest could be in the presence of it. And even he could only do it on the day of atonement and they had bells tied to his waist because anybody in the presence would die if they were unclean and they had bells on him so that if he died or fell, they would drag him out because the presence is so powerful that you cannot come into it unprepared. This is why church struggles is because there are too many people in his presence who are not prepared to be there. Some come unprepared for fashion shows. Some people come prepared to get a boost. Some people come prepared to get a viral clip. Some people come for all kinds of things. But there’s a remnant in here that says, let me tell you something.

(00:35:48):
I came here for one purpose and one purpose only. And I know I’m assigned here. I got enough people here that get on my nerve that will make me not come back. But I keep coming back every week because I’m assigned to this place. How many just touch somebody say I’m assigned here. That’s why I walk from across the street. That’s why I show up 45 minutes early. I know it’s going to be traffic. I know I might get turned around, but for the hope that I can get in the room because I’m assigned to this place, he brought the Ark of the Covenant back. David took 30,000 men to pick it up from the house of a Benedict. And the Bible says that the law specified that the ark had to be carried a certain way. Can y’all stay with me? The ark had to be carried a certain way. It had to be carried by certain men on poles through the holes that were attached to the Ark of the Covenant because they could not touch the ark themselves. They were only qualified to hold the holders. And the Bible says as they were marching

(00:37:00):
With the Ark of the Covenant to take it back to its place, the oxen who were pulling the cart, the Bible says that when the oxen slipped on the threshing floor, the ark of the covenant began to tip over and fall. Now it’s made of gold. I can understand why Aza would go to grab it to keep it from hitting the ground because it’s valuable. But the Bible says that when he went out to grab it, God killed him dead because he was not authorized to touch the presence of God. Even though he had a noble desire, he was unqualified to do it. Oh God, y’all not listening to me in here today. The Bible says that it fell and he tried to grab it and to prevent it from hitting the ground, God killed him immediately. And here is the lesson. The lesson is that God doesn’t want to be handled by the unqualified. What do I mean? We’re all unqualified, but what I mean is in order to get into the presence of God, and here’s what we don’t want to talk about no more. You got to repent. See how quiet y’all are?

(00:38:39):
Nobody want to be sorry anymore. Don’t nobody want to look introspectively and see their own evil ways. Nobody want to know you a mess too while you always talking about somebody else a mess. Don’t nobody want to take ownership that you can be evil sometimes and that you can be judgmental and that you can lie. You got to take responsibility

Speaker 4 (00:39:02):
Own

Pastor Keion (00:39:04):
For yourself. You got to own it. You got to own it. To church, you have to pray. You have to fast. You have to give God glory outside of the sanctuary. You have to be able to say you’re sorry even if you don’t feel you’re wrong. God. See, anytime a preacher preach a real sermon, everybody want to get quiet and that’s why the word don’t work for you because you only worship God for the part that you want to worship him for. But let me tell you something, you have to confess with your mouth. Forgive lest you be forgiven. You got to get in that word and find out you ain’t as good as you think you are. I know you’re so impressed with yourself, but you don’t impress nobody. But I know you think you just so high and mighty and you just at least you ain’t who you used to be. But the problem with not being who you used to be is you haven’t become who you should be and so you ain’t what you was but you ain’t what you should be. And so being in the middle is the same as being in last.

(00:40:35):
He wasn’t clean enough to touch the presence of God and because of the propitiation of God in the blood of Calvary, we are made righteous. Watch this, I’m going to teach you something. So we don’t repent for our sin. We repent for our sins because the sin that can keep you out of heaven is unreputable. You cannot repent for not knowing Jesus. So you have to first get to know him to receive the blood that will cover your sins. So the first sin is unbelief. Once you take care of unbelief, now you have a right relationship with God and now you can be forgiven of your sins.

(00:41:29):
Okay, I think I need to teach because y’all missing what I’m saying. I’m saying that before you stop cussing, you need to get to know Jesus before you stop smoking. You need to get to know Jesus because it don’t matter. Without Jesus you can smoke. Ain’t nothing going to happen. You’re going to hell. Once you accept Jesus Christ is your Lord and savior. Now you can say, father, I stretch my hand to thee no other help. I know if you withdraw yourself from me, where should I go? The first sin you got to work on is your sin of unbelief. Once you believe, then there is blood. Y’all not hearing me. I’m just trying to get somebody in here today. I was born in the sin. I was shaping in iniquity, which means from the moment I was born, I was on my way to hell. Now you got the whole adage, well, what about babies when they die that don’t get a chance to accept Jesus Christ? There is grace for anybody who hasn’t had the opportunity to accept him. But watch this, the moment you hear the gospel and you choose not to follow him. From that point on, you are now in between enmity and sanctification.

(00:42:55):
Anybody want to know why the whole world hasn’t been destroyed yet? The reason why Jesus Christ hasn’t come back yet is the Bible says that he will not return until every living human being has had an opportunity to hear the word of God. So the reason why Jesus hasn’t come back yet is because there are somebody somewhere that doesn’t know He’s alive. Problem is ain’t none of y’all in this room because you just heard me. So everybody in this room is now held to the standard of the gospel message because you have now heard that he is the rewarder of those who diligently seek him. And Romans 10, nine says, if I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in my heart that God has raised his son from the dead, thou shout be so. The first prayer you have to pray is not the sin is prayer is the prayer of salvation.

(00:44:02):
Before you can ask for debt free, you got to ask that your sin debt be canceled and that has to happen before you’ll ever get on the miracle report list because that’s a debt that can’t be canceled except for by the blood of Jesus Christ. And no one comes to the Father except by him. That’s why we baptize in the name of the Father, son and the Holy Spirit. Why? Because he is one Lord, one faith, one baptism. You cannot separate him from himself. He is the first, the last, the and the end all at the same time. He never becomes, never stops being always was and never shall not be. It is the isness of God according to Arthur Pink that God always is, even though he always was and always shall be. He never stops being God to be man, never stops being man to be God, which means he still Jesus and the Holy Spirit and Yahweh simultaneously. He is still in the Garden of Eden and yet he is in lands undiscovered. He is the galaxy. He’s everywhere at the same time. And all the scientists who have never seen Saturn too bad. My God’s there

(00:45:15):
Never seen Uranus. He’s there don’t know how many galaxies there are no matter he’s there. Arthur Pink says that God is so big that he has the universe in his pocket and that’s who wired

Speaker 4 (00:45:34):
Us

Pastor Keion (00:45:38):
To worship him. Somebody say the presence. The presence of God, the Ark of the Covenant, it ended up at a man named Obed Ed’s house. Now Obed Edam wasn’t even a believer, but the Bible says because the presence of God was at his house, the blessings rested. And David said, oh no, the blessing ain’t going to be at your house. I got to go get the blessing. And so David went to go get it. The Bible says that the Ark of the Covenant was at O Bed Eden’s house for 90 days. And for 90 days his house was blessed. And the moment the Ark left, so did the blessing.

Speaker 4 (00:46:28):
Yes sir, right there.

Pastor Keion (00:46:31):
Listen, while you paint your walls and remodeling your kitchen and at rooms to go get new furniture, you better turn on some gospel music and turn your house into a sanctuary because you ain’t not happy in your house because you got old furniture. You ain’t happy because ain’t no glory in it. Oh, let me tell you something. When the Holy Spirit is in your house, you don’t pass it up because somebody in it got an attitude. When the Holy Spirit is in your house, you can’t wait to get home. I know what I’m talking about. When the Holy Spirit is in your house, you love being in your house. I can’t stand being there because ain’t no glory in it. Full of furniture, empty of salvation. Find China, no glory, a car in every garage bay, no spirit. The aroma of baked breads, but not the sweet aroma of the sweet spirit of God. I dare you when you to get home. I dare you get some oil and just start putting it on your doorknobs. I dare you when you get home to just start tearing in the living room. I want you to come home so different. Your kids looking at you like, mama, this ain’t you. Something’s happening in you. And you can tell ’em, yes, something is happening in me. It is a change that’s happening inside of me. I finally figured out that I was wired.

(00:48:17):
You can play. My wife will tell you I’ll shout anywhere. No, you can’t play with me. Listen, if I feel like I get a quicken, I can do it at the grocery store. You playing with me? See some of y’all play with God. I don’t play with God. I believe God. I know he is real. If the Holy Spirit jump on me, I don’t care where I am. I’ll shout at a basketball game. Some of y’all got to be in church to shout, but does a car have to be in the garage to be a car? So anytime you have to be in a place to do a thing, you are not the thing you’re pretending to be. I can worship anywhere I go where the real worship is at. How many of y’all can worship God in your own living room with no company? Come on, talk to me. How many of y’all got a place that you go in the house and cry? Ain’t nobody bother you. Just go and cry and get it all out and come out feeling better. Help me. Holy Spirit, help me. Holy Ghost. I’m just trying to get somebody to understand that not a job, not money, not a spouse who the son sets free.

(00:49:46):
I feel I’m trying to destroy the works of the enemy. You looking for happiness in the wrong place? Who the son sets

Speaker 4 (00:49:54):
Free.

Pastor Keion (00:49:57):
It is free indeed. I was wired to worship. I was built. Somebody shout. I was built for this. I was built for this. This is what I do. I’m happy when I’m doing this. I feel better when I’m, this is my therapy. This is my vacation. This is how I feel better. This is what I do. And it’s good if you do it with me, but if you don’t, I ain’t going to stop. You can sit there and look at me with your arms folded all you want to and want me to move on. I ain’t moving on. I was made for this. David’s house had all the jewelry and all the chaises and all of the gold, but it wasn’t no happiness there. Why? Because the glory wasn’t there. The presence of God was at O Bed. Adam’s house. You can have balances and smart home, beautiful mattress, great couch, 95 inch screen TVs miserable because the presence isn’t there and you can clean it up all you want. You can keep vacuuming and you can see your lines. No presence. Eight chairs at a table, nobody to feed.

Speaker 4 (00:51:59):
Come on

Pastor Keion (00:52:02):
Filet M young in the freezer. No friends to make it for close in the guest room. Nowhere to go miserable trying to find it in houses in chariot. But you will never be happy until you get in his presence because it’s the only thing you were wired to do. Seek ye

Speaker 4 (00:52:34):
First

Pastor Keion (00:52:36):
The kingdom of God and this righteousness and all the stuff you looking for will be added unto you. Praise God. Your wedding date is coming. It ain’t going to make you happy. You’re going to spend 2000 on a dress, 20,000 on dry chicken because it’s going to be dry. I promise you. You’re going to create a guest list and there are some people who ain’t talked to you in years. They’re going to expect to be on it and they’re going to be

Speaker 4 (00:53:23):
Mad.

Pastor Keion (00:53:27):
And they going to sit at your wedding. They going to judge your dress talking about you should have picked one that didn’t it come that low? It just cut too low to be a Christian and his suit too tight. And you going to spend all of that money and be miserable because the only thing that makes a house and a relationship worthy of being in is the presence of God. I know y’all don’t want to hear this, but I’m, I’m telling you what God told me to tell you,

Speaker 4 (00:54:05):
To tell

Pastor Keion (00:54:05):
You until you figured out what you were wired for. You’re going to be miserable day after day, week after week, year after year, month over month, trying to shout it out on Sunday. But it’ll grab you again Tuesday because you have to be in a continual state of worship. You have to view everything you do for God as worship. It wasn’t hard for me to get ready today. I couldn’t wait. Nobody had to drag me out of bed. I didn’t have to set seven alarm clocks. I didn’t press snooze. I woke up before the alarm went off because of my soul set.

Speaker 4 (00:54:55):
Yes, that’s it’s good pastor.

Pastor Keion (00:55:07):
When you and your spouse get the Holy Spirit, your arguments won’t last so long because the Holy Spirit will make you go apologize after a couple hours. When you in your flesh, you can stay mad all month. Lemme tell you something, if you still mad about something that happened last year, you don’t operate in no spirit, you operate in your flesh. The spirit will make you walk in the room and be like, I am sorry, spirit of making it coming. Come here baby. Come here. Come here baby.

Speaker 4 (00:55:47):
Spirit

Pastor Keion (00:55:47):
Of God. Who am I talking to? Who resonates with? I’m almost done. If you looking for more, I done gave you what I got. I’m just trying to figure out who hears what I’m saying. Not with your ears, but in your spirit and in your soul. Is it resonating to a point where it makes you say, I got to change some stuff because I’m operating beneath my level of privilege. And let me tell you something. The hardest thing about being a preacher is I got to hear it before I say it so you don’t get convicted until after I do. It’s wearing me out too. Especially when you don’t want to be a hypocrite.

Speaker 4 (00:56:40):
Preach

Pastor Keion (00:56:41):
When you want what you say to be actually what you do. You get the first whooping. My wife will tell you I’m not. As my kids will say, I ain’t capping. I’m telling you what it is. The blessing was at his house for three months and that’s where it stayed until David said, ah, I got to get that glory back to my house. David said, I got to transport it. The Bible says that he transported the arc to Jerusalem with the sounding of the Rams horn. But this time, listen, he was dressed in priestly attire. The Bible says he had on an ephod. I don’t have time to tell you about all the jewels and the linen and the fine things that were with the eod, but it was something that the priest would wear. He wasn’t dressed to be impressive. He was dressed for worship. And the Bible says that David danced so much, he danced out of his clothes. Now, I don’t recommend because see, people take me literally, I don’t recommend today. And remember, David was a king. He could do what he want to do. You work for somebody. David danced out of his clothes.

(00:58:42):
Now here is the lesson. When is the last time you praise God so much that you came out of what you came in with? There you go, Arthur. That’s how you preach it. See some of y’all come in here with a bad attitude. When is the last time you worship until you just came out of it? When is the last time you worship until you came out of depression? When is the last time you worship until you came out of imposter syndrome? I want to give you about 30 seconds to dance out of the grave clothes that the devil has placed on you. Open up your mouth and give God. That’s all you got. Great. How about a round of applause? Standing ovation. Such a cute display of worship. But that ain’t going to break no curses. That ain’t going to break no hex. It ain’t going to put no devil in this place. I said, open up your mouth and give them glory. I’m looking for about 500 people who knows that God has a plan for you and the devil has tried to shackle you with the psychological and debilitating perspective. But I want you to dance out of those grave clothes. I want you to high five, three people and tell ’em, I’m coming out. I’m coming out. I’m coming out.

(01:00:37):
I’m coming out. I’m coming out. I’m coming out. I’m coming out. I’m coming out. I’m coming out. Out of depression, out of poverty, out of anger, out of sickness, out of disease. Out, out, out, out,

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
Out.

Pastor Keion (01:01:10):
Tell somebody I know. You wonder why I’m shouting. But this is what out looks like. I came in blind, but I’m leaving outing. I once was lost. But now I’m found through many dangers, toils and SNAs I’ve already overcome. Give your neighbor high five and shout. Neighbor is not my mother is not my father, but it’s me. Oh Lord. Standing in the need of prayer. Can I get somebody to open up your mouth and give

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
God?

Pastor Keion (01:02:01):
Give God a praise? Yeah, but lemme help you. While David was praising here, go His old judgmental wife, translation it. Don’t take all that she up in the window watching them, but she had another option. Do me a favor, say neighbor, instead of watching me, help me.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Praise

Pastor Keion (01:02:56):
Him. Help me. Praise him. Help me Praise him. Help me praise him.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Shout. Yeah.

Pastor Keion (01:03:11):
I dare you to find a praise partner. Tell ’em, neighbor, over the next minute I’m about to get my worship on, I was wired for this. Find you a praise partner. Grab them by the hand. Say, neighbor, we’ve believe endured one night comes in the you got the wrong neighbor. Tell them, let my hand go. I’m trying to find somebody who real

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
Turn

Pastor Keion (01:04:04):
And find somebody else. Shout neighbor. I’m going to give you an audition to see if you’ll help me. Praise him on a count of three.

Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
Shy, almost

Pastor Keion (01:04:25):
Tell him, let me go. I want you to find your real partner. Tell them, neighbor, I’m about to two step run and jump and I need to find somebody who will do it with me. Tell them, will you help me praise them. Tell them, will you help me praise them. Tell them, will you help me praise them. Did they say yes? Well, let’s try it out. You and your final neighbor, one for the father, one for the son, one for the Holy Ghost. Do you have the right neighbor? I said, do you have the right neighbor? I said, do you have the right neighbor? Well, let me see what happens. Because one can chase a thousand, but two can put 10,000 a flight. Find your neighbor. Shout.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Shout.

Pastor Keion (01:05:34):
Find your neighbor. Something to happened. Something to happened. Something to happened. Something to happened. Something to happen. Heaven, some of the heaven, some of the yay.
