In Jesus' name. Hallelujah. Yes, amen. Amen. We're gonna see Amen only day. Because it's in your Bible the word Easter. Amen. And so we're gonna go through the scriptures and see. To look at Easter or a star. A star. The Jews never celebrated it. Nor did the first century church. It was brought in by the Roman Catholic Church in 325 A.D. by Constantine. At the Council of Nicaea, amen in the modern day what we call today the Turkey. Amen. The Romans did. The Romans got it from it being steeped in the trench in the Babylonian tradition. The Babylonians came up with the goddess Histar or Esther. The Babylonians did. It was never celebrated by the church. And we're gonna see why that word is in the scripture. Amen. Where did the Babylonians get it from? Well, where did the Babylons come from? And where did the Babylonians come from? We're gonna figure that out in a minute. Amen, where they came from. In the book of Genesis, chapter 10. In the book of Genesis, chapter 10 and verses uh 8 through 10. In the book of Genesis, chapter chapter 10. Uh, whenever you want to know something, you just go to the beginning. And when you go to the beginning, God will give us understanding. In the book of uh Genesis, chapter 10, and verse number 8. I'll start at verse number 8. And Cush begot Nimrod. Somebody say Nimrod. And he began to be a mighty one in the earth. Nimrod was. He was a mighty one in the earth. Even uh it is said, even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. He was a hunter, uh, he was mighty in the earth. And verse 10, and the beginning of his kingdom was Babel. And Erach and Akad and Canah in the land of Shannar. Amen. And so Nimrod was the founder and builder of Babel. Well, we get the leaning tower of Babel. Or mean Babel, not the leaning tower, but the tower of Babel. And so it might as well lean because God tore it down. And so he was amen. Nimrod. Now, Nimrod, that mighty man of hunter of God, was mighty. And it's like that today, when God blesses somebody with something, and then they get to the point where God is blessing them, they got to be careful that they don't try to take over and be more prideful than what God has given them because it leads you to destruction. Okay. And so in the book of Genesis, chapter 11, Brother Daniel 11, and we're gonna start at verse number one. And the Bible says, And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech. And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east that they found a plain in the land of where? Shannar. Same place. And they dwelt there in Shannar. And they said one to another, Go, let us make brick. And thoroughly burned them. And they had brick for stone and slime for mortar. So they used brick instead of stone, which means it was temporary. And they used slime instead of mortar, which depicts people doing things their own way and not the way of God. Hallelujah. Yes, amen. Stone outlasts brick. Mortar would outlast slime. And so they didn't do it by the hand of God, because if they had, it would have been stone and mortar. They did it of their own free will and their own volition. And Nimrod was the one allowing them to do it. Amen. And so the Bible says that they said, Go to let us build a city and a tower whose top may reach into the heaven, lest we be scattered among the face of the earth. And so they said, Let us build something that we're gonna reach up to get to heaven where God is. That's Nimrod that allowed them to do that. And Babel in Babel. Here's what God did. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, the children of men. And the Lord said, Behold, the people are one. And they have all one language, and this they begin to do, and now nothing will be restrained for them, which they have imagined to do. At this time they all had one language, and they got together to build something to get in heaven. Well, Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the light. No man come to the Father set by me. Yeah, there's no way you can't build a structure high enough to get to heaven. And that's what the pride of Nimrod. The pride of Nimrod. And so he built Babel. And uh he built Babel. Here's what happened: the Bible says, Um, go now, let us go down and there confound their language. Talk about the angels, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from upon the face of the earth, and they left off building the city. Watch this. Therefore, the name is called Babel. Because the Lord did there confound their languages and uh from all the earth, and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of the earth. So God wasn't pleased for what was going on at Babel. Now, Babel is the Hebrew name of Babel, but the Greek name is the Babylonia, Babylonia, or the Babylons. That's where we get Babylon from, the same place that Nimrod built Babel or Babylon. First, he was a servant of God. Then pride took over him, and then the problem with that is that they had many small G-O-Ds. Yes, I'm going somewhere. I'm going somewhere. Because it's gonna all link up in a minute. And uh there were many small gods and goddesses. One of those at Babylon or Babel was Istar, the fertility goddess, which we get the word Easter. And they worship her. She was a fertility goddess, and uh she was synonymous with eggs and with bunny rabbits because an egg represents fertility. The bunny, no bunny rabbits. I have you get two rabbits together before you know it, you have a rabbit farm. They are the most fertile animals in the world. A rabbit, yeah. I got two in my yard, and all of a sudden I got six or seven now. They're the most fertile animals, so she was a fertility goddess. And uh they worshiped her, and they put figurines of her in their fields that she would come during this time of the year, amen, when the springtime, and they would put her in their fields so that the fields could be fertile, and they would bow down before her and they would worship her. Yeah, a figurine, yes, a statue. And uh uh the Roman Catholic, uh uh, well, let me go back here. So she was also known as Ishtar or Easter, and she was also known as the queen of heaven, the queen of heaven, yes, because it's depicted that when Nimrod went off the scene, that Nimrod went back to the sun. And uh his wife claims that she got impregnated by a ray from the sun. And they are worshiping these things in Babylon. In Babylon, they're worshiping these strange gods. Now, uh, she's called the Queen of Heaven. Now, a little sidebar here. Uh, the Roman Catholic Church uh calls Mary, the mother of Jesus, the Queen of Heaven. Did y'all know that? Oh, yes, they call Mary the Queen of Heaven. I'm gonna show you how that idolatry has crept into the church and it was never meant to be. Brother Diane, the book of Jeremiah, chapter 44, and verse 17. The book of Jeremiah, chapter uh 44, and verse 17. Then we're gonna go back shortly to Acts. And uh I want you just to see where Easter came from. And so uh people are conditioned to worship other things in the house of God, other than the one and only true living God. It's not like a good good teaching and good learning. Amen. Okay, the book of Jeremiah, chapter 44, and uh too many scriptures. That's why I say I'm gonna teach this. And I hope y'all learned something. Verse 17 uh through 19. Listen to this. But we will certainly do whatsoever thing uh goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven. They were burning incense to the queen of heaven, who is Istar, where we get Easter from. Burning incense is a type of prayer, and uh to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we at our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the city of Judah, in the streets of Jerusalem, for then had we plenty of vitriols, and we were well and saw no evil. So when things were going good and the people were doing great, instead of worshiping God, they were worshiping the Queen of Heaven. Istar. Send your Bibles, okay? And then verse uh 18 says, uh, but since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven and to pour out drink offers unto her, we have wanted all things, and we have been consumed by the sword and by famine. Ugh, when we were doing well worshiping the one and only true God, we had it made. But now we started worshiping the queen of heaven, and now all things seem like they're going the wrong way. That's why you got to know what you're worshiping. The Bible says God is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. I'm not worshiping no figment of my imagination, I'm not worshiping no escared goddess. When I lift my hands, I'm lifting my hands to the one and only true living God whose name is the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. This is what the world is doing. How do you know it's wrong? Because the world is doing it. The world is doing it. The world is. The world is doing it, and the world has crept into the church. Amen. Hallelujah. He says, by sword and family, look at verse number 19. And when we burnt incense to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offers unto her, do we make her cakes to worship her and poured out drink offers unto her without our men? They were worshiping the queen of heaven. Instead of worshiping God, who brought them out of bondage, instead of lifting up God, who kept them from all evil, who blessed them and put food on their table, put clothes on their back and brought them out of bondage, they were bowed down to the queen of heaven, Istar. And they were worshiping her and giving glory unto her, and God was not pleased. God was not pleased. See, it takes a real man of God, set and called by God, to stand up and tell the truth to the people so that the people can be free. Yes. The church has gotten to the point now where they're taking tradition of men, worshiping false idols, and bringing them into the house of God. All over the churches right now, I guarantee you. In the church, there's Easter egg hunts. After church, Easter egg hunts. In the church, amen, bunny rabbit meeting them at the door, shaking their hand. They not knowing, amen, what's going on, but they're worshiping the queen of heaven. And the only thing that I'm gonna worship in heaven is the Lord God Almighty. Yes, yes, the Bible said you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Yes, it's in your Bibles and it's in their Bibles. The Bible says, Amen, that they were worshiping him. Amen. And they were bowing down to them. Now, we know that Babel or Babylon is in right now modern day Iraq. Iraq is where Babel is. It's in Iraq. And the church then picked up the customs of the Iraqis and worshiping the Queen of Heaven, false deities and false goddesses. Coming in the church with their great big old moon sorcerer hats on. You know how they do great big old hats, put somebody's eyeballs out, wearing their fashion colors, talking about Easter or Estar. Well, somebody got to stand up and tell the truth. Somebody, how many of y'all want to hear the truth? I might well be me. Might as well be me. Well, that's what we did. Well, what you did wasn't right. Okay. What you did wasn't right. Well, Danielle, let's check back up the scriptures, book of Acts, chapter 12. We start at verse 1 where I started from. Amen. Hallelujah. How many of y'all knew that? The Bible says there's nothing new under the sun. Now I know some of y'all are messing you up because you got your Easter ham on. Your potato salad. Now you can go home and eat your ham. Just long as you're not offering it up to Istar. This thing needs to be taught, Brother Dawkins, to the church. Because some folk are doing things ignorantly, worshiping other gods in the house of God. Then they'll get mad at you when you tell them that ain't true. Well, we did it. Uncle uh old grandpa Jody had us. Pastor Dewright had us. Well, Pastor Dewright had you doing wrong. Yes. Yes, you're not gonna make heaven. You should put no other gods before me. That's what God says. I'm God and I'm God alone, God says. I stretch forth the heavens. I am He, the only Savior. The word of God's before me, and there shall be no gods after me. I alone am God.

unknown 17:08

That's right, God.

SPEAKER_00 17:11

Though there be Lord's many and God's many, but we know the church that there's only one true God. Hallelujah.

unknown 17:20

Come on, Pastor.

SPEAKER_00 17:21

Yes. We need pastors to stop quivering under the heart of tradition and of the people. And we need members to hold the preachers accountable.

SPEAKER_01 17:32

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 17:35

Alright? In the book of Acts, chapter 12, verse 1. I want y'all to hear why this word is in the Bible. I want you to hear it. Now, in about that time, Herod, somebody said Herod. The king. Herod the king stretched forth his hand to vex certain of the church. So Herod the king was not a part of the church. He was killing members of the church. That's what Herod was. He was an Edomite. But yet he was half Jewish and half Roman Catholic. Put in a position to serve the king. Herod was. Yes. Doing what he had to do. But he was not a true church of the living God. Rome had taken over the land. And Rome was the putting people under their thumb. And Roman Catholicism was spreading throughout the area. And they started through Constantine, the Roman Catholic Church, who brought in the Queen of Heaven and taught Easter to the people. Listen to me. The Bible said he killed James. He ain't no member of the church. He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword. And because he saw it pleased, the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. Now I want y'all listen. He wasn't building a church, he was destroying the church. We know Peter and James were apostles of God. Men who held on to the truth, who did not serve the Queen of Heaven, Easter, Estar, or nothing else, but the one and only true God who they knew his name was Jesus Christ. Yes. Yes. Amen. Oh boy, I'm making they're gonna be mad at me now. Watch this. In all our getting, let's get an understanding. Glory to God. I feel the Holy Ghost. Yes. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter. Also, these were the days of the unleavened bread. Let me get you back with this. So when the church got called out on Easter, the church went back and said, No, we celebrating the Passover. You're not celebrating the Passover because the Bible says that these were the days of the 11 bread. And Passover came before the days of the 11 bread. So that couldn't be true. In the book of Leviticus, chapter 23, verse 4 through 6. Amen. So you're not celebrating the Passover. The Bible says these, somebody say, these are the feast of the Lord. And Easter ain't one of them. Even holy convocation, which you shall proclaim in their season. Verse number five. In the 14th day of the first month at evening is the Lord's Passover. So the 14th day of the first month, March, it is the Lord's Passover. Passover is a one-day feast. Alright, next verse. On the 15th day of that same month is the feast of the unleavened bread unto the Lord seven days. You must eat unleavened bread. So the day of Passover was a one day feast. The day of unleavened bread was a seven day feast. So the Bible tells us in Acts chapter. 12 and verse number 3. They took Peter, then these were the days of the 11 bread. Passover was done with. These were now the days of the 11 bread. So you're not celebrating the Passover. For the Bible tells us in the book of Colossians that we don't keep these days in these feasts. Okay, so then the church began to change when it got stuck with that. And now they call it this is Resurrection Sunday. That's what they call it. This is Resurrection Sunday. This is the Sunday resurrection. Jesus was crucified on Good Friday and then rose again on Sunday morning. Well, that's problematic too. Because you can't get three days and three nights from Friday evening to Sunday morning. So it is not resurrection Sunday. Matter of fact, resurrection day is every day that I get up with the presence of God. If you got the Holy Ghost, you got up with the resurrection. Jesus said, You sinful and adulterous generation, always seek after a sign. But no sign shall be given to you except for the sign of Jonah, even the prophet. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the well, so shall the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth. You can't get three days and three nights from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning. The math ain't mathing. Ain't I right? The math ain't mathing. I taught the church earlier that there were many Sabbaths in the Bible. Not just Sunday. Or not just Saturday. Sunday. First day of the week, Tuesday. Could be a Sabbath. It's how it landed. And so folk think that Jesus was crucified on Friday and rose Sunday morning. He said three days and three nights. Well, we can't call it resurrection. So then it went back to Easter. Church, all messed up. Don't know who they serve or how they serve. But there is a true church who loves the Lord Jesus Christ and the Word of God. And we will put no gods before Him. We will worship Him and Him alone shall I serve. Yes. Okay. I'm coming. I'm making folk mad now. They done put that glaze on their hand. Fried that fried chicken real heaven. Seasoned it real good. Got potato salad. Carlet greens. Sitting back. Got the nice orange suit on and big old flying saucer hat and the nice new Easter shoes and got the bunny rabbits hidden in the yard and the eggs that they get ready to go hunt and get. And the priest up here messing them up. But you better hear the word of the Lord. Yes, and serve God with your heart. Somebody got to cry loud.

unknown 25:23

Come on.

SPEAKER_00 25:24

Somebody got to stand on truth.

unknown 25:26

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 25:27

Yeah, well, Pastor, let him go. I'm gonna go home and eat my ham. I'm gonna eat my ham. Eat on you. Yeah, you better make sure you're not offering it up to the queen of heaven. You better make sure you're not offering it up to the queen.

unknown 25:40

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 25:41

Lord, but well, my preacher, he taught us that Easter was in the Bible. I'm gonna show you why Easter was in the Bible. He didn't have, he didn't have the level of understanding. That's right, I heard a preacher say one time, Easter's in the Bible, and if Easter's in the Bible, I'm gonna celebrate it.

unknown 25:58

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 25:59

I said, well, so is fornication. So is adultery. Horemongering. I don't see you celebrating that. Wow. I'm serving the Lord. Anybody here serving the Lord? Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. Here we go. Listen to this. And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison. He put him in prison. And uh he delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him intending after Easter to bring him forth to the beach. Now, when he had apprehended him, who's the he? Who's the he? King Herod. Who's the he? Who's the him? Peter. So I want you to listen to the word of the Bible. And I'm gonna show you why Easter is in the scripture. When he had apprehended Peter, King Herod, he put him in prison and delivered Peter to four quarterns of soldiers to keep Peter. Herod intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. Peter wasn't waiting until after Easter. The church wasn't waiting until after Easter. That Herod was waiting until after Easter. Why? Because he was induced with Roman Catholic doctrine and they were celebrating Easter. Yes, that's why I said the scripture. Yes, because Herod was celebrating Easter. But the church wasn't celebrating Easter.

unknown 27:56

That's right, God's word.

SPEAKER_00 27:57

Herod was.

unknown 27:58

That's the word. Amen.

SPEAKER_00 28:00

Gentile king. He was celebrating, waiting for Easter. Because the early church didn't celebrate Easter. The church of the Lord Jesus Christ didn't celebrate Easter. But Roman Catholicism did. And that's what Herod was a part of. He was waiting on Easter. How many of y'all waiting on Easter? I ain't waiting on no Easter. He was. He was waiting. Watch this. While he was waiting, but Peter therefore was kept in prison. But prayers was made without ceasing for the church. Unto God for him. So Herod was waiting on Easter. But the church was praying. And that's what the church needs to be doing. The church needs to be praying. Not falling into captivity, but the church needs to be praying. That truth prevails. So the preacher that said that was truly ignorant. With no understanding. Herod was waiting for Easter. He ain't in the church. He with God. He's killing Christians. He's killing those of the true church. He was waiting after Easter. The Bible says, but the church was praying. Praying. What we need to be doing now praying. Praying that God will raise up people who will stand on truth. Praying that God will bring up brave, bold soldiers that ain't afraid to share the word of God. They ain't afraid to seek God's face and tell God. Amen. What God tells them to put it out. All over the world. People are running and today. I'm telling you, today. Today, at the greeters, you walk into church, the greeter, the greeter, the greeter is a bunny rabbit. Greeter. Then they got the children locked into that. The Bible teaches us to raise up a child in the way that he should go. Don't lie to me. Tell me the truth. The only thing that I want to worship is the Lord Jesus Christ. Watch this. In the book of 1 Corinthians, chapter 11, Brother Daniel, 1 Corinthians chapter 11, and verse 23. Amen. I'm making folk mad here on Facebook. They're probably all clicked off the pages. Hand burning up in the oven. Potato salad in a throwed out there. We're going to eat this fruit. I already prepared the meal, ready to go jump in it. 1 Corinthians chapter 11 and verse 23. For I had received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you. That the Lord Jesus Christ, the same night on which he was betrayed, took bread. And when he had given thanks, he broke it. And said, Take eek, this is my body, which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of me. After the same manner, he also took the cup. And when he had sucked, saying, This cup is the New Testament in my blood. This do you as often as you drink it in remembrance of me. Talking about communion. Watch this, verse 26. For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death. When we take communion, we remember the death of the Lord. When we take communion, we take it to remember him on that cross. He never said remember his resurrection. And I'm gonna show you why in a minute. Because we know that the Lord rose again on the third day, but we remember his death. That's what the scriptures teach us. Right? Well then, how do we celebrate his resurrection? How do we do that? Paul says that I might know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his suffering, been made conformable unto his death. How do I remember and give God glory? How do I remember? Because Paul said I might know him, and the only way you're gonna know the Lord is by his resurrection power, which is the Holy Spirit. Yes, yes, which is the Holy Ghost. But Diane, the book of Romans, chapter 8 and verse number nine. The book of Romans, chapter 8 and verse number 9. And I'm bringing this to close. I think I messed up everybody's Easter so far. Amen. Yes. Yes. Chapter 8, verse number 9. Listen to this. He says, But ye are not in the flesh, if so be that the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now, if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. So all these folk out here claim that they serving and celebrate Jesus Christ's resurrection, don't have the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Christ, are doing false worship and worshiping God in vain.

unknown 33:59

That's it. That's that.

SPEAKER_00 34:02

That's why you need the Holy Ghost. Because God is the Spirit. And they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth. That's why it's important that your baptism is not entrenched in tradition of man under the titles of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, but the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. And that name is Jesus. Yes. All over the world. People are going to church. They dressed up, got on their blue suit. The moon bow top. The moon pocket square. Not me, but I know who the Lord is, brother. I know who the Lord is. Yes, I got his spirit on the inside of me. Got on the lavender chops, the future chops, and the pink sweaters, and the purple dress, and whatever you got on in all over the world. The flower chops with orange and green. And the gorge of the church with the big hats. We celebrate the resurrection of Christ. Don't have the spirit of God. Don't even know who the Lord is. But us who have the Spirit of God, we don't wait for one day to celebrate God. We celebrate in the middle of the day for the Holy Ghost. Anybody got the Holy Ghost in here? We celebrate in the middle of the day.

unknown 35:31

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 35:32

With the Holy Ghost. Shall also quicken or make alive your mortal bodies. That same spirit that God sent out of glory when Jesus went down to the lower parts of the earth. That same spirit quickened his soul. He rose from the dead with all power. His soul and his spirit got back into that body. Jesus rose up from the dead and walked around being full of power and the anointing. Watch this. His resurrection was so powerful that after his resurrection, the Bible said the graves were open. And the saints that once died come out of there and walk around the streets of Jerusalem. The powerful resurrection of Christ. Now, that same spirit is also in you that have the Holy Ghost. And so us that have the Holy Ghost. We don't wake for the Queen of Heaven Day talking about resurrection. We wake up in the morning and thank God for the Holy Ghost. Anybody got the Holy Ghost in here? Anybody grateful that God fills you with the Holy Ghost? Don't you relegate God down to some queen in heaven? Istar. Oh baby, look at you. Istar. You relate God to Istar. A false goddess. That you bring into the church with your Easter eggs. And your Easter baskets. And with your bunny rabbits. And you got the children teaching them to go out and worship Istar, the queen of heaven. When Jesus Christ said all souls belong to me. And he wants to put his spirit in you so that you can feel the resurrection power of God. Yes, we need somebody. Time out for foolishness. We need somebody who God called to stand up and speak the truth. Yes. We need somebody that ain't afraid to go against the status quo. And so they say, come on in church. It's Easter Sunday. Come on, put on your church, put on your shoes. Come on, polish your shoes. Come on in Easter Sunday. Woo! And then they leave out of the church with no resurrection power. Worshiping devils and demons. Jesus walked into the temple. And the Bible says Jesus saw that in the temple they were selling dogs. They were the money changers in the temple. That's what's going on to the church today. Money changer was changing money. They were ripping people off what they were doing. They were changing the currency over from Roman currency over to the Jewish currency. And then they were cheating while they were changing it. But there were people in the temple that had a need. And the Bible said Jesus came into Jerusalem. And the people outside of the temple, watch this. The people outside of the temple were laying down palm leaves, and they were saying, Hosanna, Hosanna. Hosanna the highest. Now that word Hosanna means saved now. Yes, the church needs saving now. Yeah, glory to God. Save now. Because they knew he was a savior. There's only one savior, there's only one God. And the people saying, Hosanna, save now. And Jesus was getting the glory, not in the temple, but outside of the temple. And so Jesus began to come in the temple. To come in the temple, he saw what they were doing. The money changers. Making money. You can't go to a church now that you got but five offering plates.

unknown 39:34

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 39:36

Change the money. Selling doves. Now you can go back and do a do an exeges on what was going on in the scriptures. They were selling doves because doves were symbolic of an offering for sin. So people had need. They wanted to change their money. They wanted to put something in the offering. But they had needs, and they were ripping the people off. And so when Jesus came in and he saw that, he got really mad. And he began to turn over the tables in the temple. He began to take a cord of a rope and run them out the temple. Yeah, Jesus had a rope and a cord. He was going to tear them up. He was going to run them out the temple. That's what we need. We need some strong preaching to run some demons out the temple. And these fake preachers and telling these people, this false doctrine that worship to run them out the temple. Yes, we're going to run them out the temple so that the people can get what they need in the house of God. And so he ran them out the temple, turn over the tables, kicked them over. He was going off in a Jesus man. Sometimes radical times call for radical measures. And he was overturning the tables. And he was running them out the temple. I can see them now, flying out the temple. Amen. And then all of a sudden, Jesus said, My house can be called a house of prayer. But you turn into a den of thieves. But this house is a house of prayer. And this house is only for prayer and worship up to the one God that we serve. Somebody say hallelujah. Yes. Now watch this. When the temple is clean of unpurities, when it's clean of false idol worship, cleanse of money-hungering preachers, cleanse of people worshiping false deities. When the temple is clean, don't you know there's more Masons sitting in the church nowadays than anywhere in the world? Masons in an occult sitting in a church, giving their offerings, being on the deacon board, being on that board. There's more sorority members. Oh, sitting in the house of God. Pledging the Greek mythology, God, and coming to church, trying to worship God. Time out for that. Hard word the true worshipers. So the Bible says that was Jesus cleaning the temple. It's good to have a clean temple. That's why you can get the Holy Ghost easy here. Because I don't allow that foolishness to go on in here. We're going to worship the one and only true living God. Once He cleansed the temple, the Bible says, the Bible says that the people that were outside, saying Hosanna, in the highest, they now entered into a clean temple. So the worship moved from the outside back into the inside of the church. That's what we need in the church, pure worship. And the Bible says that Jesus began to heal those. I asked the Lord, where'd it come from? He said they were already in the temple. They were already there, but they just couldn't get what they needed because too much food is going on in the temple. And that's why folk can't get what they need. Because too much food is going on in the temple. I don't care what your preacher told you. Easter is a pagan holiday. And so when he moved that food out of the temple, worship came in. People begin to get healed. People begin to get delivered. And people begin to get what they need in the name of the Lord. We worship the one and only true living God. And I give him permission to cleanse the temple. We are the temple of God. Anybody give him permission to cleanse the temple? Tell the Lord, I give you permission to cleanse the temple. Cleanse this temple. Yes! The world has crept into the church and overtaken the church. But the true church is that city that sits upon a hill that's shining brightly. I thank God. I didn't ask to be a preacher, never wanted to be a preacher, still don't want to be a preacher. But God called me to preach. And since God called me to preach, I just might as well go on and preach in the Of the Lord, hallelujah. Mike was going to preach since he called me to do it. And God mandated me to tell the people the truth. So you can go home and eat your fried chicken. You go home and eat your ham, your potato salad, your collet greens. Some of y'all got pig feet on the day. You know how some of y'all go all out and you throw little chitlins in there. But just make sure when you're praying over all that food doesn't bust your heart. Just make sure when you're praying over it that you're giving glory to God, giving thanks unto the one and only true living God. Don't you go tell nobody I'm having me Easter dinner. Because when you say Easter dinner, now you're worshiping the Queen of Heaven. I'm having Sunday dinner. I'm having me and my wife going somewhere. And it ain't over with y'all having Easter dinner either. We'll go to JoJo's and get silent. We're going somewhere. But the moment you say you're coming over Easter dinner, then you're worshiping the Queen of Heaven. We've got to be stronger. And tell folk we don't celebrate Easter. Jehovah Witness don't have a problem with it. They don't have a problem telling you. But the saints do. Oh well, you know, we know he was resurrected. We all know that. We know he was resurrected. Yes, you ought to know if you got the Holy Ghost. Well, all this is going on. Thank you, Brother Daniel. Well, all this is going on. Here's what the church needs to be doing. The church needs to be praying. Put down that hand and pick up your hands and start praying. You like that? Put down that hand and pick up your hands and start praying. You like, I know you like that you start laughing. Yes. The church needs to be praying. There's a lot going on. We need to be praying. Not playing. We need to be praying. So people get mad. Too bad. Too bad. I've given you the truth.

unknown 46:13

Amen.

Easter was what Herod was waiting on. What the church was waiting on. The church was praying. And that's what the church should be doing, praying in the name of the Lord. Amen. So, yes, I hope I opened up your understanding. That explained it. Yes, that explained it. Amen. Amen. So, so let me just let me just be clear. I was taught, and I've said it before, and but the Lord gave me this revelation. I was taught and said this before by a preacher that Easter was a King James translation era for the Passover. But I just showed you that Passover came before their loving brethren. God showed me. God showed me that it was Herod waiting on Easter, who was a pagan king. He was waiting on Easter. But the church was praying. That's what the church should be doing now. We should be praying. What we're praying for, we should be praying that truth. Truth comes out of the church in the world. Truth is what's going to save our families. Save our children. To God be the glory. Now don't go back. Don't go back and lie on the preacher. Pastor said we can't have ham. Pastor said we can't have fried chicken. Pastor said we can't have chili. I didn't say that. I didn't say that. I told you why the church doesn't celebrate Easter. Easter is a star, the sun goddess, the fertility goddess. And Easter is not what the early church served. No worship. We worship the one and only true living God. Amen. So amen. I hope that your understanding has been open. Because a lot of things that were taught wasn't taught right. And so I've seen them have Easter dinner in the church. Let me hit you with this. Let me hit you with this. Now I told you that Nimrod supposedly died and went back to the sun. Then a ray from the sun touched his wife and impregnated her with a daughter. Right? Now watch this. For years, for years. Some of y'all done it too. Some of y'all done it too. I can look at you and tell. Y'all go to church on Easter morning and they say, let's hit the sunrise service.

unknown 48:54

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 48:55

Y'all heard the sunrise service? Well, what is the sunrise service? The sunrise service is worship to Nimrod, who went back to be the sun god. And so you go for the sunrise service, but the service that we're here for is the S-O-N service, not the S-U-N. The Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. We're here to worship him. Yes. And so while you're lifting your hands in your sunrise service, thinking you're worshiping the Lord, you're worshiping the Queen of Heaven. Thank God He forgave you. Thank God you got it right now. Now to him that knoweth to do good and do it not, to them is sin. Are you listening to me? To them that know if to do good and do it not, to them is sin. Now, and you done heard the word of the Lord. And now, and so you're gonna have folk, listen to me. You're gonna have folk that try to talk you out of what you're doing. This is how the devil does. Well, I don't know about that. I don't know. We're worshiping Jesus. Are you really? I don't know about that, you know, is what we do for the Lord, really. Well, you show me where Jesus Christ died on Friday and raised on Sunday morning in three days and three nights. You show me that. The only way you can worship God and his resurrection power is that you have to have it on the inside of you. In Jesus' name. Amen. Somebody let's clap for the Lord. Let's honor the Lord. I gotta let y'all go. I gotta let y'all go. So you can get your ham in you. Amen. Pork ain't good for you. A lot of pork ain't good for you, no way. I don't eat no ham, boy. Ham makes your blood pressure go up. Amen. Ain't the Lord good we want to worship the one and only true living God.
