You set up your business, you direct it. You put it in motion, then you control what you put in motion. That means that your regulations, your laws, your government of that. Can you imagine? God bringing Adam into the world and telling Adam, You eat from all this. Give him a lot to eat from. Everything but one thing he told him, don't eat from that. But then he was fasting, why'd he tell him don't eat from that? See, that's that curious nature of the human being. When you tell him don't do something, that's when they're really worried. What the hell you telling me, don't fuck? When you listen to that which is other than God, then you have started on the road of the cardinal sin, which is setting up a rival or a partner with God. Polytheism. Here's something that didn't create nothing, now directing God's creation. How do you think God speaks? You've got a wife. You feed her, you clothe her, you shelter her, you teach her, you guide her, and he's about to throw down, no? How dare you bow down to some image, some likeness, God don't want none of us bowing down to each other. We should bow down to Him who originated us all, and nobody else. Who? Well, he who could, he was the legal, lawful, proper authority to give direction to our life. And nothing in creation has the right to supersede God in giving instruction to his creation. Not the church. Not the government. Not the president. Not the Pope. Not the mullah or the sheikh. But if you don't know God's will, then somebody can play God and mess up your life. The devil is the origin of policy, but it doesn't start from outside, it starts from inside. I want you to hear me now. Whenever God gives an order, deceptive intelligence comes up to rationalize you are not doing what God said you are doing. It don't come from outside, it starts right here. Let's look at it, let's see if this is true. Here's the subject. Eve is there. She's cool. And the devil says, hey baby, you didn't sell it quite right. You see, you ain't gonna surely die if you eat this, but you'll become like him. Live forever. And we all want immortality. That's how this snake works. See, in the Bible it says the serpent is more succulent than any beast of the field. I'd like to show you a snake. And when you go home, I want you to take a good damn look in the mirror. I want you to hear what I mean? But I say, holy be it! All these false creatures that want to make people think they're so holy, I want to show you a snake. And when you go home and look in that mirror, I want you to see yourself. Don't look for no other devil, because there ain't a damn devil nowhere that can ruin your life better than you are ruining it right now. Are you listening? Deceptive intelligence. See? Rationalizing disobedience. God say, Lord of him are your garments. You say, well, sure, God is right. I'll roar it, but then I'm going to make it tight. Oh, I really want the brothers to see how fine I am. See, that's deceptive intelligence, rationalizing crap. Let's go look for it. If you look at all the musty you and I have done in our life, and there's a whole lot to look at. How did you get so screwed up? See, you have a whispering devil from within yourself that used deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is right. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is wrong. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is right. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is wrong. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is right. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is wrong. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is right. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is wrong. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is right. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is wrong. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is right. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is wrong. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is right. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is wrong. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is right. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is wrong. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is right. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is wrong. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is right. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is wrong. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is right. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is wrong. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is right. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize what is wrong. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize disobedience. What are you doing to yourself? You're beginning to rationalize an unjust conclusion or an unjust assumption. And on the basis of an unjust assumption, you do an action. If the assumption is wrong, then the action is unjust. So we say in our prayers, I have been greatly unjust to myself. And if we are unjust to ourselves, nobody else stands a chance. Now look, when you can rationalize an unjust assumption and proceed on the basis of that assumption, you are acting against your being. You are acting against your own existence. You are acting against the purpose of your existence, and in that action of deceiving yourself and rationalizing disobedience, it has a blinding effect on your consciousness. It has a deafening effect, because after that, you don't want to hear nothing. The challenge is your unjust assumption. See how we play games with labels? I'm a Christian, I'm a Muslim, I'm a Jew. The hell you are! You ain't none of that! You are what you think, and you are what you carry as a practice. And if you could put our thoughts on the table and look at them. I'm having a feeling you're saying you can go home. But that's not my intention. My intention is not to hurt. But I want to force us to look at ourselves. I'm not putting this on you and it is not coming back on me. If it's lashing you, it's lashing me too. God got it coming out of me, but I'm looking at it. I don't want to go back to the faith that anybody from up here or down there is a perfect representative of whatever we think they're representing. But we've got to struggle. We've got to strive against that deceptive intelligence that rationalizes disobedience. After a while you become deaf. You can't hear nothing. But what tickles your fancy? After a while you become dumb. You speak concerning to your lust, not the Word of God. So after a while you can't see the reality of your life. So you begin living in a world of illusion. And so many of us are mentally sick world of illusion and the world of reality is passing by. I don't care nothing about fame or fortune, though. Fame and fortune don't make you what God intends. Alligator shoes and diamond rings and Cadillac cars and fur coats and fine homes don't make you All of this is illusory. Go ahead, go ahead. Before there was creation, there was Knoto. So why should you seek faith before we seek Him? God and His righteousness. And all things will be added unto you. Hold on now, hold on. The Quran says, have you seen him who takes his low desire as a God beside God? He said, human beings, they like the dog, you know the dog longs out his tongue? And every time you see the dog... This world got us just like that. We have taken our low desire for a God beside God. The god of the lower region in ancient times was called Orca. He's the god of the lower region, the netherworld. And when we live in the world of our appetite, in the world of our drive, then the heart, soul, and mind is subordinated to the dry. Then the heart, soul, and mind die, and we become dead men and women whose root now in the jaw of the lust of the flesh. Any rationale that you develop that deceives us and makes rebellion to God, fair seeming, is bringing us into contact with the law of death. Life is obedience to God and death is rebellion to God. In God's self-creation and self-realization of this that was in himself that gave rise to devil, he desired and set in motion the law of evolution, and that's what makes him rabbi, I believe. He became a rabbi, the nurturer, the Lord, who would nurture things, making them attain stage after stage until they reached perfection. When you are grafting, taking away from truth to support a false assumption, or adding to truth to support a false assumption, you are making a devil. And you're not making a devil outside of yourself, you're making one right in yourself. So putting aside labels which create division among those who seek to serve God and allows us to see purely the true religion of God and the true purpose of His religion. That's what we ought to do to them. Put aside the labels. Don't fight for Christianity, fight for obedience to God through Jesus. Don't fight for Judaism, fight for obedience to God through the law and commandment of the prophet. Don't say Islam is my religion, but my way of life is redundant. You are a liar if you are a Muslim, then fight for obedience to God. Allah says in the Quran, this day I have completed My favour on you and perfected for you your religion and have chosen for you Islam as a religion. No religion will be accepted on that earth but Islam. If there's surely the true religion of Allah, it's Islam. How do Muslims rule that? See, when you get into labels, you say, When a lie is said in the Koran, no religion is going to be accepted except what belongs to God. If you bring up a religion other than obey God, it's rejected. Here's Jews today saying, We're the seed of Abraham. Muslims say, We're the seed of Abraham. Liars! Abraham don't know nothing about you all. Wait a minute. So Abraham is our father. He's a father of these three great monotheistic liar. Or you are a polytheistic liar masquerading under monotheism. All right, don't get upset, I ain't got but a few more minutes. Wait a second. Abraham was such a wonderful person. He's called the friend of God. Waleedu, your Lord. Friend of God. Man, that's wonderful. I would like to be a friend of God. I need a friend. In a world like this, I'm a dead man. How did Abraham become the friend of God? Now, this is a very critical part of what I'm about to say. God says to Abraham, and when Abraham was tried with certain commands, and he fulfilled I will make you a leader of men." Now what made Abraham the friend of God? He was tried by certain commands, meaning he was directed with authority to do something. Now, I don't know how many of us could do what God asked Abraham. In the man whose wife was barren, and finally the handmaiden comes up with a baby, and then he asked Abraham to take him up on the mountain and sacrifice him. I know you love your son, I love mine. Isn't that a tough command? Take the boy that you've been looking for, the boy that you delight in, take him up on the mountain, Satan got to Ishmael and said, He said, if that's what pleases God, it pleases me. So now, once Abraham raised the dagger and was about to plunge it, the boy didn't fight the altar, he laid on the altar. That's us. Then God stayed his hand and said, because you were willing to sacrifice what you loved the most to prove that you love me more, my covenant is not only with you, my covenant is with your seed." Abraham asked, well, what about my offspring? He said, my covenant does not include the wrongdoer. I said, I'm about to wrap this up. Are you a seed of Abraham because you are Jew? Are you the seed of Abraham because you are Muslim? Are you the seed of Abraham because you are Christian? No. Jesus said, if you were the seed of Abraham, you would be the wex of Abraham. It is the wex of Abraham that makes you a relative of Abraham, not most firm! Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Too many of you are into this blood mess. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Well, we got to look after the family. What's that? Come on. Come on. What the hell are you talking about? Family ain't blood! God don't want no damn blood family to be. God want a family based on His Spirit and not be of me. Go ahead, go ahead. Because genetics only give you physical characteristics and spiritual potential. Go ahead, go ahead. But my son is not my son by stain. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. But my son is not my son by skin. My son is my son by spirit, and if you don't have my spirit to help you, you are not of me. Each one of you is more than sperm and egg. I can give you characteristics where you look like me. Boy, this lady sure don't like his father. What the hell is in his head? Go ahead. What is in his heart? Is it like his father's? Hell no! Then if it's not like me on the inside, you don't belong to me from the outside. And let's forget, I don't give a damn about none of you! Go home! The basis of good leadership of the people of God is obedience to God. The prerequisite for leadership is are you going to obey God and let him direct you, an Indian leader that refuses to obey God must be shut down, because any leader that practices rebellion to God has no right to lead the people of God. This day, I set before you two signs. One of life and one of death. One of obedience and one of disobedience. Choose life that you and your seed may live. When you obey God, you prepare life for your children. When you disobey God, you prepare death not only for yourself, but for your children. The Bible says, prepare slaughter for the children, for the iniquities of their fathers. You think you get away with your crap? Wallowing in this filth? You got these little babies coming up? And you think that your life is some independent vessel that's not tied to the past and to the future? You are nothing more than a link in the chain. And if your link is rotten, then what's coming from you, you've diminished their chances. I will destroy him that hates me to the third and fourth generation. How do you determine a people's hatred for God? It is when they know his will and refuse to do it. How do you determine a people's hatred for God when they don't want to bow down and recognize his right to guide us? There's a consequence, because most of us have no realization of how our rebellion affects our children. Because when you go off course, you want your children to look up to you, so deceptive intelligence comes up. Why are you trying to make your children see rebellion through your eyes? To make your rebellion fast-seeding. So you refuse to let your seed go with your damning will. Jesus! Go ahead. Right. Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! You choose life. My grandchildren and my great-grandchildren choose life. Choose life that you may live. You set up your business, you direct it. You put it in motion, then you control what you put in motion. That means that your regulations, your laws, your government of that. Can you imagine? God bringing Adam into the world and telling Adam, Hey baby, you eat from all this. Give him a lot to eat from. Everything but one thing. He told him, don't eat from that. But then he was fasting, why should I eat from that? See, that's that curious nature of the human being. When you listen to that which is other than God, then you have started on the road of the cardinal sin, which is setting up a rival or a partner with God. Policyism. Here's something that didn't create nothing, now directing God's creation. How do you think God speaks? You've got a wife. You feed her, you guide her. And then she gives her love to somebody else. How you feel? God? The Lord's our God? Is envy and pride because he's about to throw down. How dare you bow down to some image, some likeness? Even though you are made in the image and the likeness, God don't want none of us piling down to Him who originated us all, and nobody else. is the legal, lawful, proper authority to give direction to our life. And nothing in creation has the right to supersede God in giving instruction to his creation. Nothing! Not the Pope, not the Mullah or the Sheikh. But if you don't know God's will, then somebody can play God and mess up your life. It is the origin of policy, but it doesn't start from outside, it starts from inside. I want you to hear me now. Whenever God gives an order, deceptive intelligence comes up to rationalize you are not doing what God says you're doing. But God save you. It don't come from outside, it's from right in. Let's look at it, let's see if this is true. Here's the serpent. Eve is there. She's cool. And the devil, he's a little bit... He didn't say it quite right. See, God's trying to keep you in a certain box. You see, you ain't going to surely die if you eat this, but you'll become like Him. Like him! Alright. Live forever! Yes! And we all want immortality. Look how this snake works. See, in the Bible it says, the serpent is more subtle than any beast of the field. I'd like to show you a snake. And when you go home, I want you to take a good damn look in the mirror. I want you to hear what I'm about to say. There it is. For all this holy BS, I want to sell it like rights, you know what I mean? But I say, holy BS. All these false creatures creatures that want to make people think they're so holy? I want to show you a snake. And when you go home and look in that mirror, I want you to see yourself. Don't look for no other devil, because there ain't a damn devil, nowhere, that can ruin your life better than you are You're ruining it right now! Are you listening? Deceptive intelligence. See? Rationalizing disobedience. God says, say, lower the hem of your garment. You say, well, sure, God is right. I'll lower it, but then I'm going to make it tight. I really want the brothers to see how fine I am. See Rationalizing crap. Let's go a little further. If you look at all the mercy you and I have done in our life, and there's a whole lot to look at, how did you get so screwed up Do you have a whispering devil from within yourself that used deceptive intelligence for incorrect and sin. And this deceptive intelligence makes evil so seeming. We use deceptive intelligence to rationalize disobedience. What are you doing to yourself? You're beginning to rationalize an unjust conclusion or an unjust assumption. And on the basis of an unjust assumption, you do an action. If the assumption is wrong, then the action is unjust. prayers, I have been greatly unjust to myself. And if we are unjust to ourselves, nobody else stands a chance. Now look, when you can rationalize an unjust assumption and proceed basis of that assumption, you are acting against your being. You are acting against your own existence. You are acting against the purpose of your existence, and in that action of deceiving It has a dazzling effect on your consciousness. It has a dazzling effect because after that you don't want to hear nothing that challenges your unjust assumptions. See how we play games with labels? I'm a Christian, I'm a Muslim, I'm a Jew. The hell you are. You ain't none of that. You are what you think, and you are what you carry as a practice. And if you could put our thoughts on the table and look at them, if I'm having a feeling, then you can go home. But that's not my intention. My intention is not to hurt. But I want to force us to look at ourselves. I'm looking at it. Whoa! I got to get it straight. I don't want nobody to think that anybody from up here or down there is a perfect representative of whatever we think we're representing. But we've got to struggle. We've got to strive against that defective intelligence that rationalizes disobedience. You can't hear nothing, but what tickles your senses. After a while you become dumb. You speak concerning to your lust, not the Word of God. So after a while you can't see the reality of your life, so you begin living in a world of illusion. And so many of us are mentally sick because we're living in a world of illusion and the world of reality is passing us by. I don't care nothing about fame or fortune. Fame and fortune don't make you what God intends. Alligator shoes and diamond rings and Cadillac cars and folk coats and fine homes don't make you what God intended for you to be. All of this is illusory. Go ahead, go ahead. Before there was creation, there was New York. They shall not walk, nor talk. So why should you seek faith before we seek Him? So Jesus said, Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things will be added unto you. Hold on now, hold on. The Quran says, Have you seen him who takes his low desire as a God beside God? It said a human being is like the dog, you know, the dog logs out his tongue, and every time you see the dog, This world got us just like that. We have taken our low desires for a God beside God. The God of the lower region, in ancient times was called Orca. He's the God of the lower regions, the netherworld. And when we live in the world of our appetite, in the world of our drive, then the heart, soul, and we become dead men and women whose root now in spirituality is covered over by the dross of the lust of the flesh. Any rationale that you develop that deceives us and makes rebellion to God, fair seeming, is bringing us into contact with the law of death. Life is obedience to God and death is rebellion to God. In God's self-creation and self-realization of this, that was in himself, that gave rise to devil, he desired and set in motion the law of evolution, and that's what makes him rabbi, alaihi. He became a rabbi, the nurturer, the Lord who would nurture things, making them attain stage after stage until they reach perfection. When you are grafting, taking away from truth to support a false assumption, you are making a devil. And you ain't making a devil outside of yourself. You're making one right in yourself. So putting aside labels which create division among those who seek to serve God and allows us to see purely the true religion of God and the true purpose of His religion. That's what we ought to do to them. Tear aside the label. Don't fight for Christianity. Fight for obedience to God through Jesus. Don't fight for Judaism. Fight for obedience to God through the law and commandment of the prophet. Don't say, Islam is my religion, but my way of life is rebellion. You are a liar if you are a Muslim, then fight all demons to God. Now look. Allah says in the Quran, this day, I have completed my favour on you, and perfected for you your religion, and has chosen for you Islam as a religion. Allah says in the Quran, no religion will be accepted on that day but Islam. It says, surely the true religion of Allah is Islam. If you bring up a religion other than obey God, it's rejected. His Jews today say, We are the seed of Abraham. Muslims say, We are the seed of Abraham. Christians say, We are the seed of Abraham. Liars! Abraham don't know nothing about you all. Wait a minute. So Abraham is our father. He's a father of these three great monotheistic reigned legends. You are monotheistic liars. Or you are polytheistic liars masquerading on the monastery roof. Don't get upset, I ain't got but a few more minutes. Wait a minute. Abraham was such a wonderful person. He's called the friend of God. Wali, you know. Friend of God." Man, that's wonderful. I would like to be a friend of God. I need a friend in a world like this. I really need a friend. These bums hate me. I'm a dead man." How did Abraham become the friend of God? Now, this is a very critical part of what I'm about to say. And when Abraham was tried with certain commands, and he fulfilled them, Allah said, surely I will make you a leader of men. Now what made Abraham the friend of God? He was tried by certain commands, meaning he was directed with authority to do something. Now, I don't know how many of us could do what God asked Abraham to do. would God ask Abraham? If the man whose wife was barren and finally the handmaiden comes up with something and then Sarah comes up with a baby and then he asks Abraham to take him up on the mountain and sacrifice him. I know you love your son, I love mine. Isn't that a tough command? Take the boy that you've been looking for, the boy that you delight in, take him up on the mountain and kill him. Some of the scholars say on the way up the mountain, Satan got to Ishmael and said, this mouth, there ain't no lamb up there that's gonna sacrifice. It's you. And look at this mouth, then. He said, if that's what pleases God, it pleases me. So now, once Abraham raised the dagger and was about to plunge it, the boy didn't fight the usher, he laid on the usher. That's something. Then God stayed his hand and said, because you were willing to sacrifice what you loved the most to prove that you love me more. My covenant is not only with you, my covenant is with your seed. Abraham asked, well what about my offspring? He said, my covenant does not include the wrongdoer. I'm about to wrap this up. Are you a seed of Abraham because you are Jew? Are you the seed of Abraham because you are Muslim? Are you the seed of Abraham because you're a Christian? No. Jesus said, if you were the seed of Abraham, you would be the wex of Abraham. It is the wex of Abraham that makes you a relative of Abraham, not most sperm. Too many of you are into this blood mess. We've got to look after the family. What family? What the hell are you talking about? Family ain't blood. God don't want no damn blood family to be. God want a family based on his spirit and not your genetic makeup. You could be of my genetic makeup and not be of me. Go ahead, go ahead, because genetics only give you physical characteristics and spiritual potential. Go ahead, go ahead. But my son is not my son by stem. My son is my son by spirit, and if you don't have my spirit to hold you, we are not of me. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead. If you don't have my spirit to hold you, we are not of me. Go ahead. Go ahead. Oh, you carry a suit. Don't like it, Father. What the hell is in his head? Go ahead. What is in his heart? Is it like his father's? Hell no! Then it is not like me on the inside. You don't belong to me from the outside. Go ahead. I say this to you, and I say it to you. I say this to you, and I say it to you. I say this to you, and I say it to you. I say this to you, and I say it to you. I say this to you, and I say it to you. I say this to you, and I say it to you. I say this to you, and I say it to you. I say this to you, and I say it to you. I say this to you, and I say it to you. I say this to you, and I say it to you. I say this to you, and I say it to you. You don't belong to me from the outside. Go ahead. I say this to my children and my grandchildren. Go ahead. To hell with you all if you don't accept God and obey God and live for God. I don't give a damn about none of you. Go ahead. The basis of good leadership of the people of God is obedience to God. The prerequisite for leadership is, are you going to obey God? What the hell do you know to lead God's people if you won't obey God, must be shut down, because any leader that practices rebellion to God has no right to lead the people of God. This day I set before you two signs, one of life and one of death. One of obedience and one of disobedience. Choose life that you and your seed may live. When you obey God, you prepare life for your children. When you disobey God, you prepare death not only for yourself, but for your children. The Bible says, prepare slaughter for the children, for the iniquities of their fathers. You think you get away with your crap? Go ahead. Wallowing in this guilt? Go ahead. You got these little babies coming And you think that your life is some independent vessel that's not tied to the past and to the future? You are nothing more than a link in the chain. And if your link is rotten, then what's coming from you, you've diminished their chances. I will destroy him that hate me, to the third and fourth generation." How do you determine a people's hatred for God? It is when they know his will and refuse to do it. How do you determine a people's hatred for God? When they don't want to bow down and recognize his right to guide us. There's a consequence, because most of us have no realization of how our rebellion affects our children. Because when you go off course, you want your children to look up to you. So deceptive intelligence comes up. Why are you trying to make your children see rebellion through your eyes? To make your rebellion fast-seed? So you refuse to let your seed go, but you're damning them! Go ahead. Choose life, choose, choose life, choose life. My dear family, choose life. My wife and my children, choose life. My grandchildren and my great-grandchildren, choose life. Choose life, that you may live.
