The Sermon Sings The Blues

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
-Albert Einstein

We all as spiritual people need to know Jesus. Without Him, we could not have access to His Father who gives us power to get wealth. ‘Yahh’ in the Hebrew Bible is the Lord being in the form of power. The Lord reveals Himself in that form for us to get wealth.

Christians live in constant fear of not knowing when will it get better. Fear; of not knowing if you will always be a slave to living paycheck to paycheck. Yahh is the confidence within you to be fearless. The living paycheck-to-paycheck sermon has worn you out like a bad song. You’re becoming frustrated with hearing the same old prosperity sermon, where nothing has progressed to your expectations, because you’re still struggling. You’re not satisfied, but you allow the sermon to play like a lottery ticket, hoping one day, that you will hit the jackpot. The sermons have become like a hyped seminar, it feels exciting to be part of a herd, chasing the same dream among the crowd. But at the end of the day, you’re stuck with books, full of disappointed dreams.

You feel obligated to honor the Almighty at service, so you can worship and feel you paid your dues. But as the cliché goes; “if you keep doing the same thing that you always been doing, you’re going to get the same thing you always got.” Church won’t make you rich. The Lord gives you power to get wealth. But the power He gives you is the power of Yahh that rises within you to get wealth. Yahh within you eliminates the struggling. Of course other people obtained wealth without this power, but it’s because as Proverbs 13:22 said; “A good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children, but the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the just.” You may see other spiritual individuals who are wealthy or well to do, such as Tyler Perry, but that has nothing to do with them being a church member. Yahh is not something that spiritual people can choose to have; they must be fearless before that power arises within them. Spiritual folks allow life to dictate what will happen as a roll of the dice. But the people of Yahh master their own destiny.

Yes, Tyler Perry is familiar with Yahh when he pronounces Hala-lu-Yahh, which means praise Yahh (the Lord in His form of power), especially when Medea quotes it on screen. Of course other spiritual souls say Yahh, but their fear makes it powerless to get wealth.

Tyler Perry shared the power of Yahh with his family audience. The power of Yahh wasn’t ready to reveal this to me to get wealth, until I share it with my family first as well. As I stated in the last message posted; “A family with many different talents can accomplish the impossible as one faith, when it can identify with what they stand for as a movement. “Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind (Philippians 2:2).” This shows you’re “moving” in the same direction as an unstoppable force. Just like Martin Luther, the family mission statement as a movement, is a bold and simple one: “Build Together!” Of course there will be differences and disagreements, but that is with any board meeting and the UN. As long as the goal remains the same, “Build together!”

You Must Free Your Power for it to Work

“Though He slay me, yet will I trust…” –Job

Tyler Perry plays and Sylvester Stallone was turned down and insulted close to a dozen times by Hollywood, before “Rocky” received the green light to become the highest grossest low budgeted film of its time, which went on to win film Awards and made future stars. What was the secret to its success? Being the underdog. Both were the writer, star and character.

What made Perry and Stallone not become depressed and give up? It was their hunger for telling their story to whoever would listen. These two stubborn Christian warriors were focused like a horse with blinders, and the only thing that pushed them to live, was their story. That story was their oxygen, food and energy. Both went without income or real work, due to their drive for staying focused on their goal. Good living conditions and comfortable accommodations were not in their vocabulary at the time. They absolutely wasn’t pursuing fame and fortune, because they rejected changing their stories, and not sell it to the highest bidder, or design a script to fit Hollywood standards. Both are saved!

How did they know it would come true for them? Was it faith, or persistence, or determination? Did they see something great within themselves? Some of those things played a role, but actually, that story which they owned, was the only thing that they were ever good at telling. They had no other ideas or skills they knew how to perform better. Some people are only better at one particular thing, which they are hungry for pursuing.

Sylvester and Tyler are not the best directors or writers, but they are the only ones who can play the character to tell their stories, which no other person could do. Nobody can play Rocky like Stallone, just as nobody can perform Medea like Perry. The best person to tell the story usually is the one who already lived it. These two warriors were already living their story, which they witnessed in real life, through real people whom they knew.

This is a method Jacob our forefather performed in the Bible, from the book of Genesis. He gave away his time to serve his uncle, in order to gain his uncle’s daughter and favor.
Tyler and Sylvester gave away their best stories to us, and they reaped what they sow.

I see why the Scripture said, “it is better to give than receive…give unto others and it shall be given unto you…pressed down, shaking together and running over.” Don’t count on people for your success, income, hope or outcome. You must give it away to people, so they can evaluate; such as providing a first time sample demonstration hair duo, repair, one-month apartment, partial remodeled house, favor, etc. Don’t beg or ask. Just offer. People, even you and myself are observers of demonstrations, curious creatures of handling before we buy. That’s why stores allow you to sample before you purchase, like with car dealerships, especially. But they should allow you to take it home for a few days, which some dealers do, except they fear theft, insurance and other factors. But GM would get out of a jam if they risked the effort. Most people return after demonstrations, when you offer a one-month warranty fee, which allows them to have one service once a week. You don’t lose clients to competitors and they don’t lose with a warranty. It’s a win-win!

I Can Do Bad All By Myself!

"I can do bad all by myself" -Tyler Perry (from his film)


The book of Judges in the Bible speaks of how Deborah, the prophetess, judged and led the people of Israel into a major victory, by taking charge of the army from Barak, the commander. Barak, the commander of the military forces was like the executive, and Deborah would have been considered an associate of the company. As an associate, Deborah organized projects for Barak, that he would get credit for. Barak lost self-confidence and faltered under pressure from organizing the project plans himself, but he still wanted credit for someone else stepping up to take charge. Barak would have brainstormed with his top generals and commanders in the boardroom, about putting together a winning project. Except, Deborah as the associate- managed the whole operation, by stepping up to use her gifts and experience sent from the Almighty.

Of course, Barak had talent, but he collapsed when his associate Deborah, would not allow herself to be taken advantage of, like a servant, by laying all the credit at the feet of an incompetent procrastinator, who did not have the “by any means necessary” attitude to complete the project himself. So, she promoted herself, and quit the associate position to run her own company of men. Deborah took people from the old company that would join her new venture. Or you could say she bought out the company and ran it herself.
