6:08 And I found a Savior and He's sweet, I know. Let's go to Genesis chapter 3, a singular verse this morning. verse number 6, Genesis chapter 3, verse 6. Amen.

6:48 Genesis 3, verse 6. Won't you say, I got it? Let's read it together. When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food. Amen. You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. I want to preach today using as a subject saying the quiet part out loud look at the person beside you and tell them today you gotta say the quiet part out loud saying the quiet part out loud.

7:53 I am not going to rest until the family of Nolan Wells gets justice. Thank you. somebody is hiding something. Somebody saw something.

8:42 An 18-year-old black boy on the 4th of July went to Horn Island on a boat with so-called friends and he's the only one who didn't return. For the prosecutor to never name a person of interest or to name a cause of death doesn't sit well with me. they claimed he drowned but not a drop of water found in his lungs or his throat or his stomach an abrasion on the back of his neck, but they can't identify what caused it or who caused it. I want to go on record that Warren Hudson, Wyatt Pyron, Bart Edmondson Jr., and Will Parker need to be brought in immediately Bye.

9:52 I need to be brought in immediately for questioning because one of them had to have seen something, but none of them are saying anything.

10:16 At the airports, at train stations, and bus terminals, they have a sign that says if you see something then say something. I'm seeing a lot of stuff that doesn't look right and somebody has to say something. Look at this if you would.

10:38 After God created the earth with his words he then spoke to Adam and gave him dominion, power and authority. with one caveat, which was not to eat of the forbidden fruit.

10:58 Right after that, I don't like how the serpent slithers in behind God's back, starts chatting to Eve. First, he asked questions. Did God really say? side note I need you to pay attention that Satan does not have the authority to make declarations Satan can only ask questions and he'll start asking questions to make you question what has been spoken over your life Thank you. after Satan asks questions the second thing Satan will do is begin negotiations surely you won't die if you disobey don't negotiate your convictions or compromise your standards what nobody is dealing with is the snake wanted eve to eat of the fruit but he didn't eat any whoever is trying to make you lower your standards or question your value is nothing more than a snake and their whole intention is to bring you down to their level not sure why nobody in all of antiquity has been able to see this why nobody has paid attention but i want us to revisit our text for this morning because i am afraid that we have given women a bad rap look if you will for just one moment at Genesis 3 verse number 6 watch what it says she took of its fruit and ate and she also gave some to her husband here it is who was with her

13:15 and he ate. I went too fast. she took of the fruit and ate it and she also gave some to her husband who was with her the whole time and he ate it last time she took of the fruit and ate it and she also gave some to her husband where was he with her and he ate it wait wait wait he was with her Thank you.

14:06 he wasn't in another field he wasn't off naming animals he wasn't asleep he was right there next to her the whole time he stood silent and looking crazy and let a serpent talk to his woman in his presence Y'all don't like this. When the serpent questioned God, the man said nothing. When the wife takes the apple, he said nothing. Y'all not going to like this. The first failure wasn't doing the wrong thing. The first failure was saying nothing. Men often go silent when they're stressed.

15:14 Men will go quiet when they need to process emotions. Men will go silent when they want to keep the argument from getting worse. Thank you. man y'all better help me right through here now silence in some spaces is a coping mechanism in a way to protect the man's sanity or to protect the relationship when your man goes quiet it doesn't automatically mean something is wrong it may be an indication they're not sure how to make it right.

15:59 When a situation feels too overwhelming the nervous system can trigger a man to freeze. Make it hard for him to be able to find his words. The most important political statement and sentence in the history of the world was uttered by a stutterer. Don't tell me God can't use your voice even with your voice being broken. Moses never found his voice until he was 80.

16:37 Here you are with your grown self and you still can't clear your throat. you are at the right age to speak what's on your mind. You are exactly the right age to speak truth to power. The world is waiting for you to stop being quiet. Spirit of the Lord took Ezekiel to a valley of dry bones and asked him, do you think these bones can live? God had all power, has all power. And then says to that man, in the midst of all this carnage, in the midst of all of this destruction, in the midst of all this poverty, I need you to speak over it. God can't change a community can't change a city can't change a world as long as men are silent says I need you to prophesy the stuff that ain't right and when black men open up their mouths things will start coming together that's why the enemy is banking on your silence who told you praising God was for women if we could get a generation of men who understand that praising god is not effeminate it makes you a warrior in his presence when you open up your mouth as a man of god things will start coming together maybe your house is in disarray because you done left your woman to worship by herself pray by herself travail by herself your children want to know daddy do you worship your wife wants to know man of god when will you be the priest of this how open up your mouth and worship I'm concerned

18:49 about these so-called men of God who are scared to talk to the serpent. scared to say anything to the snake. They'll do whole videos about me, but nothing about what impacts the community. You got time to do a whole sermon about abracadabra, but nothing about the disappearance of student loans and nothing about the erasure of what it means to have Medicaid in America. You filled a whole sermon about Kirk Franklin, but won't mention 2.6 million people who are finding themselves dying from curable diseases. You'll deal with viral videos, but have not addressed Nolan Wells.

19:46 If you don't want to discuss the rape at Cornell University, you won't say nothing about 1.1 in 5 black women being raped in their lifetime. You will denounce the D9, but won't say nothing about white fraternities. Gang raping women and selling cocaine. Shut up and do. something of value.

20:22 You are no limit soldier on the keyboard, but won't address headsets passing over black generals in the armed forces. Something is wrong when you see the demonic in what your people are in, but won't call out the demons in vicious, racist white people. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. You don't like me. You got a problem with me. You can't stand Jamal Bryant. That's fine. I'm not here to be your friend. I want to know if you hate Jamal Bryant, do you at least love black people? Do you at least acknowledge that Jesus was black? Do you still acknowledge you got a responsibility to the black community? Otherwise, kick rocks and sit down somewhere and speak.

21:17 truth to power who will speak to the snakes Who will say anything to the snakes?

21:40 Young women are getting raped on college campuses. But because you didn't go to Cornell or Ivy League institution, you feel like you ain't supposed to say nothing. One out of five black women in this room have been sexually assaulted at home or in safe spaces. And we ain't doing nothing to protect them. I know y'all gonna get quiet. It ain't just girls that's being molested. But young black boys who are being molested by coaches and teachers and preachers. And y'all ain't gonna say nothing. Y'all better speak to the snake and tell the snake you belong under my feet because you got nothing over my head. Look at somebody beside you, tell them you better speak to the snake. You may be seated.

22:43 after they eat of the forbidden fruit God walks through the garden and says where are you God isn't calling for both of them he's just looking for him where are you? Adam responds the woman you gave me gave me the fruit. It's diabolical that he wouldn't speak to the snake but wants to blame his wife.

23:30 God, y'all ain't saying nothing. Men, your wife is not your enemy. God, I can't hear nobody in here. Your wife is your part. y'all gotta stop letting the snake turn you against each other and y'all gotta start getting on the same team understanding if God before us who can be against us yes I know Eve took the first bite and your whole life growing up in church a misogynistic ministry tried to convince you that women were responsible for the fall of man but romans 5 and 12 said sin came into the world not through a woman it came through a man's negligence sin did not come through the one deceived sin came through the one who said nothing look at the person beside you and tell them don't you let the enemy win sin is getting ready to slip in if you stay here quiet because david said let everything that has breath praise the lord y'all ain't saying nothing black man you should have been dead the police should have took you out they should have lynched you mysteriously you should have died of curable diseases but God put his hand on your life and you mean to tell me you too hood too slick and too gangster to give God glory I'm looking for some men that'll say when I think of the goodness of Jesus and all he's done Men, we are killing our homes.

25:36 Not from punching walls. Not from playing video games. Men, we are losing the war because the snake will only win through your silence. Do you realize the impact of your silence? That your kids don't feel comfortable talking to you.

26:03 The impact of your silence, your wife has given up reaching out. The impact of your silence that God hadn't heard from you. You are not keeping the peace. You are losing the war. the enemy only wins when a man doesn't use his words what happened to you you can talk about basketball you can talk about football you can talk about cars talk about tennis shoes but you won't talk about the war that's in your life you are fighting and going down swinging depressed you got so much anger bottled up on the inside and the frustration that your dreams aren't coming to pass use your words People got no idea that you've committed psychological suicide because you don't even try.

27:09 You don't even put in. You don't even attempt to be engaged in a part. Your family has become prisoners in your house trying to figure out whether you're in a good mood, whether they can talk to you, whether you feel like it today. Who robbed you of your words that the snake has strangled your throat, that you are no longer able to articulate how it is that you feel, what it is that you're going through. I don't want it lost on you that the reason why the Nolan Wells investigation has come to a halt, the reason why the autopsy is inconclusive is because they sent Nolan's body without a throat. They figured out if I can take the throat of a black man he'll just die in silence.

28:11 But God sent you here on this Sunday morning to tell you you get ready to get your voice back. You are not going to be a mute in the presence of injustice and sin and chaos and anarchy the enemy is getting ready to lose his mind because men are gonna find their throat and clear it and open up that and shout unto God. If I can just get a thousand men to cry out loud unto God like you're getting your voice back. You may be seated. Men, you are forcing, you are forcing the person you pledge to protect. Y'all ain't gonna like this, I gotta say it.

29:05 You are forcing the person you pledge to protect to lead. your woman is burnt out and tired because she having to deal with the snake by herself god i can't hear nobody and you just sitting there and she travailing and praying and anointing the doorpost y'all ain't saying nothing sleeping or praying over you while you sleep that woman is tired waiting for you to take on a shift and do something in the presence of the snake it ain't that she want to leave she ain't got no choice but to leave in the presence of a silent warrior how did the snake have all of that conversation with a woman while her man is there God y'all don't like this here hallelujah and we have rewritten the narrative to suggest that Adam was off his post he was not off his post he was present and silent but God said I don't know where the women are in this room God says for women who worship watch what I do to the snake assigned to your house God I can't hear no worshippers he said if you give me glory in this room today I'm driving snakes out of your bedroom I'm driving snakes out of your marriage I'm driving snakes out of your living room.

30:57 I'm driving snakes out of your children's room. I need you to open up your mouth and shout unto God. Why? Because the snake done gone too far. Hallelujah. Says I'm getting rid of the snakes. Hallelujah. You may be seated. I'm getting rid of the snakes. Hallelujah. I don't know who she is thinking she gonna mess up your marriage. I'm getting rid of the snakes. I don't know who in them DMs. I don't know who in them text messages. I'm too old to be going through a phone. God, you handle the snakes. I ain't got time to be playing middle school games and I'm a full grown woman. God, you handle the snakes. a few years ago a few years ago a plane was leaving out of Nassau Bahamas headed to Miami and they were taxiing out for the runway trying to leave the airport to get back to Miami got down the runway and much to their surprise a cobra snake started slithering down the aisle everybody started screaming people started jumping on the chairs flight attendant got on the uh the speaker to the pilot and said hey we got a snake on the plane we need to go back to the gate and uh the pilot says um stay where you are keep talking to me situation's under control says oh uh pilot you didn't hear what i said It's not a garden snake.

32:50 it's a cobra on this plane and the pilot said stay where you are keep talking to me the situation's under control a pilot ran down the runway in the plane and pulled the plane up and with wind velocity and jet propulsion and aeronautic engineering he lifted the plane up and all of a sudden the snake stopped slithering it just stayed right where it was in the eye and he said to the flight attendant stay where you are keep talking to me situations under control i need y'all to know something what the flight attendant didn't know is that before the pilot became a pilot he was a veterinarian and he knew that snakes can't handle high altitude that if he took the plane higher that the snake was going to die.

33:49 I came to tell 500 screamers, stay where you are. Keep talking to him. The situation is under control. I know you got snakes in your house, snakes in your bank account, snakes in your marriage. Stay where you are. Keep talking to him. The situation is under control. Would you grab that neighbor by the hand and tell him his snake's on the plane? But stay where you are. Keep talking to him. The situation is under control. God said, if you give me glory, a snake is about to die. If you give me honor, the snake has got to stand still. If you praise my name, the snake has lost its authority.

34:46 Stay where you are. Keep talking to him. The situation. You may be seated. stay where you are keep talking to him the situation is under control I feel like preaching now would you just look at somebody tell them stay where you are keep talking to him the situation is under control forget about your neighbor talk to yourself stay where you are keep talking to him the situation is under control call him up call him up and tell him what you are if you need the Holy Ghost call him up and tell him He walked through He walked through the garden God did You may be seated God walked through the garden and I want you to see what God does next.

36:18 I'm still in Genesis chapter 3. He says, Adam, where are you? Adam, where are you? Not because he couldn't see them, but because he hadn't heard from them. you was all in the presence of the snake and wouldn't say nothing. Now that you're in my presence, where are you? Hallelujah. That's what God is doing walking through new birth today. Adam, where are you? You ain't cursed out the demons that's been trying to take your life and your sanity and your child and your marriage. Adam, where are you? He sees you, but he ain't heard from you.

37:17 Why are all the intercessors women? Where are you? I'm grateful. I'm grateful. I'm proud that we got a slate of amazingly smart, brilliant, and competent women who are on statewide ballot and not one man.

37:45 Where are you? You are now at your lowest percentage of men in our history since 1956. is the lowest amount of men in law school. Where are you? They're getting ready to shut down the medical program at Morehouse because it ain't enough brothers, but the sisters got a waiting list at Spelman. Where are you?

38:16 You saying that you don't believe in women in ministry, but you won't go to seminary? You want to critique everything, but you won't educate yourself? Where are you? God is looking for you, but he can't hear you. Because you won't say anything. And what's all the more infuriating, you won't say anything when you see the snake. You see the snake and your woman sees the snake.

38:58 And she's the only one that's canceling it. You won't do anything. I want every man in the room, would you just wave that hand right where you are? Black children been asking, where are you? black women have been asking where are you empty polling places are asking where are you Bank deposit lines are asking, where are you? I see you waving your hand, but I don't hear nothing. Where are you Adam?

39:49 Did they treat you like Nolan and stole your throat? has the snake wrapped itself around your throat so you no longer able to speak where are you you can yell at a tv over a football game but won't yell at God over your frustration where are you You can put that hand down. My late mother used to drink tea every morning.

40:29 And when I was growing up, I had the responsibility of putting the teapot on. That was my job. My job was to fill up the teapot and fill it up with water, put it on the oven, turn the stove on, and then I can go and get finished dressed for school. I could walk away from it. I hope you can handle it. I could walk away from it because our teapot whistled. but it could only whistle when it had something in it god help me it had to have something in it and it had to have fire under it god i wish i had a church right through here ladies and gentlemen ladies and gentlemen when things start getting hot in your life if there's something in you you should start making a sound god i'm waiting on my worshipers to show up god said you didn't say anything when you saw something i want to know are you gonna say anything when you start feeling something jeremiah said it feels like fire shut up in my bones those of you that got fire on your life I need to open up your mouth like you need to say God I'm ready Yes.

42:08 No matter where I was in the house, I could hear the whistle. And the whistle was the indication it was ready to be poured. Many of you are not ready to be poured because God ain't heard nothing in the house.

42:29 He keep turning the fire up, but you keep not saying anything. But God says today you get ready to be poured out as an oblation, as a living sacrifice unto God. I don't know whether you can handle it or not, mother. You can't yell for your son.

42:51 You cannot take the obligation for that man. He's got to learn how to whistle for himself. And he ain't going to whistle until circumstances get high enough. but those of you who are in this room and you are prepared to be poured in the month of October because you refuse to remain silent in the face of injustice and sin and corruption God says let me hear you by an indication God I'm ready I gotta get out of here but I wish I just had a thousand people who got fire going on in your life right now. Would you open up your mouth and just begin to worship him? Come on, I can't hear anybody. I said, just begin. come on lift him up lift him up I wish I could find worshipping men I wish I could find worshipping women open up your mouth lift him up My time is up.

44:07 My time is up. I need your hands lifted. I'm talking to men who are getting ready to implode because you haven't been able to articulate what you've been holding in.

44:28 Black men lead in high blood pressure. Lead in hypertension. Lead in heart attacks. Black men lead in strokes because you won't give language to your anguish. If you would just learn to talk to snakes, you would realize that you are an eagle. man I don't know how long you've been holding it in how long you've been suppressing it how long you've been trying to ignore it but God says miracles are voice activated can you imagine the whole history of humanity would have been written different if that man would have found his voice if he would have just put the snake in check.

45:26 But because he didn't, the whole family had to suffer. Your family is suffering because of your silence. But today you're getting ready to rewrite it because you got authority in your throat. that hand is lifted men women wherever it is that you are put your hand on the back of the closest man to you Hallelujah. Healing is getting ready to happen today. I canceled the spirit of resignation. feel like you're getting ready to lose it brother I cancel the spirit of suicidal ideations I cancel everything hell has whispered in your ear that you are not enough I speak to every man who at this tick of the watch feels like you are a failure I'm marred with shame and embarrassment because this is not how you saw life going having to readjust can't hold a job can't keep a job can't get an opportunity you don't know what to do because you can't provide you're having to readjust your mindset because you're connected to a flourishing woman and society has made you feel like less than a man wherever it is I came to give voice to your frustration you are not going to implode you are not going to break you're not going to lose it man I'm talking to you uncle I'm talking to you OG I'm talking to you

47:33 brother man I'm talking to you widow I'm talking to you returning citizen I'm talking to you you get ready to lose all of it because you don't have a safe space for your voice to be heard if that's where you are man of God I need you to meet me at this altar So don't let anything stop you till you get here. Thank you. We won't always be like him Lord will perfect And concerning me Sooner or later Turning your face I hope you are energized That you don't need an energy drink What you just heard Should have you off and running Chasing your dreams Pursuing your purpose and answering your call.

49:24 If this was a blessing, share it with somebody else. Don't be selfish. This is what God gave you so that you can be a blessing to somebody who needs it worse.
