Minister Farrakhan address the Fresno Temple Church of God in Christ

come on everyone, we all bless the Lord, we bless the Lord, we bless the Lord, we bless the Lord as I deliver you into our hands of our Bishop, please everyone stand up, please stand up, your reverence SC. I want you to give the

minister

a warm round of applause this morning. I do not know, I do not know all his titles, but all I know is Minister, let us receive him in the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful, the only God to whom all praise is due, the creator of all things. the revealer of all truth and the messenger of all the Prophets we thank him for Moses and the Torah we thank him for Jesus and the gospel we thank him for Muhammad and the Quran peace be upon these worthy Servants of God but if he lived to be a thousand he would never I could thank God enough for His intervention in our Affairs and for raising up among Us a Divine leader teacher and guide the man who taught me what I know and what I am about to share with you the honorable Elijah Muhammad.

I greet all of you, my dear and wonderful brothers and sisters, with the greeting words of Peace, we say it in Arabic asalam alayum to all my Christian brothers and sisters, those words mean peace be upon you, you all know that Jesus never He did not meet his disciples nor did he leave. the disciples of him without first saying peace be with you and you all know that English was not a language when Jesus walked among the people. Jesus spoke Arabic and ancient Egyptian Hebrew and some say he spoke Aramaic, so if Jesus were here this morning, he would say hello. you in Hebrew Shalom Alim or he would greet you in Aramaic or Arabic asalam alayum or in English he would say peace be upon you.

Amen to Bishop Wilson, members of the Fresno Temple, my dear dear brothers and sisters, it is a great honor for me to be here. This morning with you so much has been said about me and many things are not good, so that some of you will wonder why the bishop invited this man about whom so much evil has been spoken to this sacred house. The bishop would not have invited me if He believed that I was what the press has proven me right. All of you who believe in Jesus, we also as Muslims believe in Jesus.

Jesus. All of you who believe that Jesus is the Messiah. We also as Muslims believe that Jesus is the Messiah. Amen, so let us reason together as we believe similarly, let us not let names and language divide us from one another. Amen because although I say I am a Muslim, I am also a Christian, you say, well, Pharaoh, how can you be a Muslim and a Christian? Are you trying to use smart words on us? No, because the word Muslim is an Arabic word and Christian comes from Greek. You and I are neither Arabs nor Greeks.

That's right, so let's understand what we are talking about. Well, if I say that I. I'm a Muslim you say well what is that and if I offered it to each of you this morning I have a lot of guilt outside I want you to go and get some guilt you would say guilt I don't want any of that but yes I told you that guil is the word German for money, you say oh oh and give me all you have brother, so if we allow words we don't understand cause us to divide against each other, that's right, then it's a sign of Our own magnet and not a sign of our wisdom .

So what does the word Muslim mean? It means someone who submits his will to do the will of God. That's what it means now. I don't think there's a single good Christian here who doesn't. He wants to submit his will to do the will of God Jesus said not my will but yours yes, amen while I read the scriptures of the Bible Jesus said everything that I hear that I speak and everything that the father commands me to do that I do it Jesus He was so perfect in his obedience to God that he became one with God so that when you saw Jesus you saw God because he was so perfect in his obedience to God that God was reflected through Jesus to the people amen we agree let's not go Beyond that, what is a Christian now?

Jesus never said Peter, you are a Christian. I'm making you a Christian. You can't find that anywhere in the Bible where Jesus made Peter, James, John Thomas, any of the disciples, Christians, he called them. obey God and follow his leadership so when were people known as Christians? It was in Antioch, come on, come on, let's talk this morning. It was in Antioch, oh yes, the enemies of Jesus saw, they saw those who followed. Jesus and called them Christians because Peter began to see that Jesus was in fact the Christ and as they believed that Jesus was the Christ, the Christians said these are Christians, I mean the people in Antioch said these are Christians and that name stayed, it is a good name Amen, being a Christian means being crystallized in Oneness with God following the example of Jesus Christ now, if you are crystallized in Oneness with God and you are as perfect in following him as he is in following God, then you have a power with you .

Today that will make you conquer the world just as he conquered but what is the truth that we are singing We will conquer Jesus said I have conquered something, she is a lady, isn't she? let's see what it is, beloved brothers and sisters, I opened the scripture this morning from the Bible and I wanted to take as a text something from the book of Romans Paul is speaking to the Romans and Paul says in the second of chapter 12 of Romans verse 2 and do not be conformed to this word which is amen but be transformed by the renewal of your mind so that you can verify what is that good, pleasant and perfect will of God let's stop praising God why is it that Paul did not want us to be conformed to this world remember what he was speaking with the Romans Rome 2000 years ago did not love Jesus, that's right Rome was full of religion but the religious leaders of Rome were religious hypocrites Jesus called them Bleached Seers who looked pure on the outside but inside were the bones of dead men Jesus condemned the religious leaders of that day because the religious leaders had become part of the Roman world and the Roman world was diametrically opposed to what Jesus was talking about because Jesus' kingdom was not of this world.

Amen, the Bible says that friendship with the world is enmity with God, so when you begin to conform to the world the world begins to accept you as one of its own but if you want to be of Jesus you cannot conform to a world that refuses to obey God the people in Rome had many licentious festivals that celebrated in their Pagan rituals the birth of the child around the time of the winter elk on December 21 they celebrated the spring equinox the arrival of spring which today is called Easter but They worshiped the goddess of fertility, the goddess of love called IST and when spring came they had a spring ritual. where the women went and put on their flower dresses because spring means that the flowers begin to sprout after sleeping in the winter and the sap begins to rise in the trees and then the women would make parades and the men would put on their flowers to say I'm ready now prize God, I'm ready for what for a sexual ory mhm, they practiced sexual aies around the time of the spring equinox, but when Christianity became the religion of Rome under Constantine, he didn't want to go at all. the path with Jesus Christ so he began to mix the old pagan religion with the teachings of Jesus so today at Easter you put on an Easter bnet it becomes a time for you to come to

church

and parade your new suitable garment, you talk to me you don't really come to

church

basically to take communion to take communion with Jesus Christ you come to show off your new garment what does a new garment have to do with Jesus Christ what does it mean to go to the store to spend money that you don't have to do what does it have to do with Jesus Christ what Are the flowing hats and the Easter parade and the Easter Bunny anything to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ?

Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by renewing what your mind but why does your mind need? to renew itself, well, the Earth MH in winter gives the appearance of having died, yes, it becomes gloomy, the flowers wither and die, but in spring, when the Earth changes in its relationship with the sun and the warm rays of the sun They melt the snow and ice into life-giving water, the water goes to the Earth and helps the seeds germinate, and the rose you missed that died last fall comes to life in spring, so spring is a sign of the Resurrection. , the whole earth seems new again, a new dress is put on. so the scripture says you become a new creature in Christ oh yes Paul says put off the old man put on the new man that is after Jesus Christ the scripture says that as through one man sin entered the world and through sin came the death all men have sin so winter death has passed for the entire human family you don't look like you're supposed to look you don't act like you're supposed to act you're not what you should be not what you could be because you're in the winter of your life because you have succumbed to the death of this world and in reality you have become the old who is the old and who is the new you did not think that the fire conon preaches like this Can I tell you something if you were alive 2000 years ago?

You know what the scribes said about Jesus. If you read what they wrote, you would never come to see Jesus because in the Roman Empire Jesus was against his religious festivals. Jesus would never allow his disciples to join the Roman armies. Let's go because his kingdom was not of this world. Praise God. Jesus spoke out against the hypocrisy of that day and because he did, the people said well, he does the good work, that's fine, he makes the blind see. the deaf listen to the mute who speaks some dead are being resurrected but with what power does he do these things?

He said that he does these things by the power of be He a't that what he said be is another name for the devil so if you were living 2000 years ago, you would have to be one of those who met one of Jesus' disciples , uh, and someone was speaking well of a good man that the world said was an evil man, so you would have to find your way to Jesus because Jesus was not love 2,000 years ago in fact the scriptures say he was hated without cause yes sir the people had no justified reason to hate him he was not doing anything bad to the people but the authorities hated him because they feared that in his mouth it was a word that would free the people from their power and they wanted to have power over the people they wanted the people to conform to the Roman way of civilization, they did not want the people to be renewed in their Minds.

Well, look at my visit to Fresno, yes, praise God for two months, hardly a day went by without someone writing or saying something bad. Amen on a man most of you have never met. Praise God. Amen, you don't really know me, but you do listen. writers would not want to approach me amen some of our pastors good people are good people amen but what hypocrisy to say that God is love and God loved the world so much yes sir listen to him that he gave his only begotten son bless him so that all who believe in him will not perish but have eternal life you say that God is love and you love everyone but you don't have enough love in you for Lis now some of you are already looking at me with displeasure, right? not because I did something to you but something you read something you heard from who you read it from you read it from the same people who told you you were you read it from the same people who brought your mothers and fathers into slavery you read it from the same people who said it denies you justice and Fresno, you read it from the same people who refuse to educate your children.

What did I do to you? I didn't sell you into slavery. I didn't enslave you. I didn't steal from you. you give your name your language your religion your culture your God and turn your inside out and inside out the same people who are right against me are descendants of those who put you in this condition why are you angry with me you don't understand when I teach the People, they give up their cigarettes. Some of you still smoke in the name of Jesus when I teach people. I take them out of a life of fornication and adultery.

Some of you, looking at me with such hatred, still practice that in the name of Jesus when I teach. people, I lead you out of lesbianism and homosexuality, some of you are practicing that in the name of Jesus, when I teach people, I stop them from lying and cheating and I give them strong family values, I teach them righteousness, I cleanse them and convert them in decent young men and women. seeking knowledge why would you hate me for the good I do and love those who have mistreated you and given you evil every day of your life you don't understand I am not your enemy I am your friend those who misrepresented Jesus oh God they are the same people that they misrepresent me I am and they misrepresented Jesus because they did not want his word to reach the people that would cause the renewal of their minds praise God Amen who is the old man and what is the old mind the old man follows the model of Adam, yeah, uh, and the scriptures say that everyone in Adam died, why is everyone in Adam going to die?

Because Adam rebelled against God's direct Commandments. Amen and because Adam rebelled, he never foolishly fulfilled what God intended for man, please listen to the book it says. Adam fell from where he fell fell from you di grace not because Adam has always been given Grace, it was Grace that caused Abraham, Noah, Lot and the prophets to come into the world to serve Adam's people correctly. God has never kept it. the town ofAdam from his grace he did not fall from grace he fell from the high position that God planned for man let's see what that position is bear with me now I'm supposed to be on a plane but I didn't I wanted to go on a plane until I arrived to church and I wanted to come to church because the church like the mosque is my home.

Thank you, Bishop, thank you, thank you for allowing me the privilege and honor of being in this house and thank you for receiving me so warmly open your hearts a little more do not be afraid you are not going to be a loser okay let's go back and look at Adam the book says God made Adam in his own image yes he is and then in his likeness and breathed in Adam and Adam became a living Soul, yes, sir, he gave Adam certain Commandments, he said, multiply, fill the Earth and subdue it, and He gave Adam power and dominion over the filth of the air, the fish of the sea, and every creature that creeps upon the sea.

Earth but he told Adam to eat of all the fruits of the trees in this Garden except this tree in the middle of the garden a tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil don't eat from that tree isn't that something? Amen now Adam I heard these words directly from God. Satan is coming. Adam. He begins to interpret the word of God. The day you eat it you will surely die Satan said uh-uh if you eat it your eyes will open now I miss it both God and the devil told the truth the moment Adam ate the fruit he fell dead no what?

The Bible says the Bible doesn't say he died the Bible says his eyes were opened uhhuh Did God lie? No, he did not die physically. Listen carefully now because the book says that he heard from God, that is walking towards God if you are physically dead. You can't hear anything and when he heard God walking in the garden he was scared because he knew he had disobeyed, it's fair, amen, he started to hide his nakedness and God asked him how he knew he was naked and of course he started making excuses like most of us do. of us oh yes, when we rebel against what we know to be right God got angry with him and said I will take you out of the garden he told the old Eve that you will have your children with great pain, not that the birth was before you will not It hurt, but the pain is that you will work hard to do something with your children and your children will be the source of great pain for you because of the rebellion.

I'm getting to where I want to go. Amen, okay, he died spiritually in the powers that God intended man to have and his eyes were opened to a world that he had no sight of before the world called the underworld or the world from the naval down he was a spiritual man before but when fell became mind-minded, yes, so the spiritually minded human being is conscious of the things of the flesh, while the spiritually minded person is conscious of the things of God. Nowadays we pay more attention to the suit, we wear shoes, We get in the car, we drive home, we live in what kind of shelter we can get talk to me you're not worried about the things of God as much as you're worried about the things of the world you don't really care how God sees you you're more worried about what Your neighbor thinks about you, your neighbor doesn't know you better than God knows you, your neighbor doesn't see you the way God sees you, but you care more about what others think than what God thinks, huh?

What does that mean? Conformed to the world and you are more worldly than us. Pious, is it true? If you were living in Jesus' day you wouldn't dress like this, who made your styles? Come on, come on, come on, is it Jesus or is it the world? Don't you just love fashion shows? Who is fashionable? Is the world? The style of Jesus or is it the world style. Let me put something really low-cut. It's that style of Jesus. That's the world style. Oh yeah, let me do this division. Know? Up here, come back down here and I'm going to come to church on Sunday in a dress so short the preacher has to look up.

Is that Jesus' style or have you conformed to the world? Talk to me, okay, yes sir. we become kind and that is why in the very House of God there are fights and strife, oh God, there is enmity, there is envy, there is jealousy, there is hatred and although we are all supposed to be brothers and sisters to each other in Christ, your brotherhood is weak. and your power is gone, you come to church on Sunday and after that you go and raise hell for six days a week, answer me, you walk past the drug addict on the street like the drug addict has a disease, you walk past the pimp and the prostitute you walk through the low life and you come to church to sing your hymns and praise God in your songs and in your dances but you will not praise Him in your life you do not live your life for God live your life to serve your own pleasures , to follow your own low desires and if the reverend talks too loudly about how low you are living, you leave this church and go to another church, you know I'm right, how many of you really think? that if Jesus returned now he would accept you and yet you preach about his imminent return all the signs in the Bible are about to be fulfilled that the teacher is going to return are you ready also be ready but are you not ready to receive?

Jesus, you don't believe that he will come because if you believed that he is coming, you wouldn't be acting like the wise and foolish virgins by burning your oil and not preparing to face him. Eh yes? I'm going to challenge you today, Chris. and that's what you need someone to challenge you because if someone doesn't talk like that, you keep living this crazy life that you live thinking that Jesus is going to approve it when he comes and when he comes you're going to say Lord Lord. and he will say: Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.

I don't know, it's true, we live in the underworld now, we don't live in the world filled with the spirit of wisdom and the spirit of God, we live in a world created by the rulers of this world we deal with the external we deal with our color or he too black her hair too light too diaper I like him his straight hair I like her her long hair look at you you're all a mess on your head well you choose a man and you don't know what you're looking at, that's true, you don't look inside, you don't test the spirit to see if it's from God because you don't care if it's from God, it's a man you sleep with anything everything you know I'm right you kill the fruit of your womb like it's nothing you think you're okay with Jesus I don't believe it in fact I know you are not and that is why you are in the way you are, someone has to be a real preacher, we cannot be weak in preaching this gospel, you must defend what God stands for sir , God will not support you, you cannot be afraid to tell people what they are doing is not right and you and I who preach it must strive to be examples of what we preach we cannot be the biggest mushrooms in the church and expect that people are right, people can only be what they are.

Leadership is like that, those of us who are in leadership have to try to set an example. I know this is hard. I am so that Rome died. Ancient Rome disappeared, but ancient Rome has given rise to a modern Rome that is the United States of America. What's happening? Did I say that room? This is a modern America, a pluralistic society, a society where anything goes, anything you don't have to conform to any standard of justice set by God, do whatever you want, it's okay according to the government. standards but it is not right by God's standards so now you have conformed but you have not conformed to Jesus Christ you have conformed to the world you say well I can't hit my son because it is child abuse and the children will tell you today it will be better Don't hit me, I'll call the authorities and tell them that you're abusing me, that's right, real parents fear their children, children talk to you like a dog, right, you brought them into this world with fainting and pain and You take care of them since your sacrifice of your breast for them and now that they are old enough they tell you that I am not going to do what you tell me to do.

The Church has no power over young people, young people do not listen to pastors. they don't listen to the politicians they don't listen to their teachers they don't listen to their parents you know who runs the show their peers their peers have more power over their children than Jesus than God than the school yes the church is getting old and tired old people in the church, young people in the street, what good is your church if the young people do not come here, do not allow the children to come to me because of such is the kingdom of God, yes sir, but it is not possible? make your children come here the children look at the preachers like we are pimps scamming the women that's right the women are workers in the church they are men no here the men don't come to church why don't men come to church Why don't few men come to church, but most men at home watch the ball game, play God?

They don't come to church, why? Because in the church the only man is the preacher and they don't see their own masculinity respected they see their wives working for the church but they don't work at home wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute Church full of women without men disillusioned and hurt women, yes, women whose husbands have filled them up with babies and women who turned out well who got to work and made a way for men because men can't make a way for themselves, so when a woman comes to church comes to find solace and comfort that God put in a man for a woman, but she cannot find it in a man so the preacher represents Jesus as her comforter Jesus as her Savior Jesus as her Rock Jesus as her light in the dark hour like this It's like this the woman comes to church and releases her frustration you see her singing in the choir and she receives the spirit and falls down, the children sit and watch the mother receive the Holy Spirit, it's okay, she runs up and down. below, the AIS, the power of the spirit is upon her, but she cannot take that power away from the church in the world and turn a world evil, that power is only limited to the church, so the children watch you giving away all your money to church, but nothing at home, the children have no shoes, no decent food, but everything you have, you give. drink it, put it in the bath and then on Sunday you come, oh, it's hard, isn't it?

Men do not come because the Gospel does not have the power that God said. A man was due, he made a man and he gave him dominion and power, that is, most men are impotent, they do not run their house, the woman runs it, she tells you when to come, when to go and she uses her sex to make you bite and act like a dog and a fool, you know? He's right, you don't want to hear this kind of talk, but how else are we going to come to God unless someone tells us that's right, that's right, a man can't call the dog on the dog's response, oh ?

So why should I go to church unless you're going to empower me as a man, give me the power so that he can go out and be the man that God made him? And if you can't give me power, then I have to go find power. in a gun I find it in drugs I find it in my fists but I do not find it in God Church full of women men in the Street Church full of old people young people in the street someone has conformed to the world they have never been transformed because their mind is the same old mind that made the slave master and someone has conformed to the world has never been transformed because his mind is the same old mind that the slave master made slave master made you a slave so you sit and wait for the white people to do for you what you could get up and do for yourself sad, it's sad that you send your children to school and know that school is a killing field, yes, destroying the minds of your children, but you won't think that this is a house of God bring the children here let's teach them don't let them go and let the enemy bathe their minds in filth and foolishness that's right the schools have become cesspools today you know why God is not in the school God is out of school God has left the church, people don't go there anymore, there is more God sometime in a pool hall and a white house and yet you will pass by The Prostitute, who probably be a more sincere woman, and some of these so-called church people.

I know it's time for me to go. We were born in sin and trained in iniquity. We are a closed-minded group of people and now Jesus must act in our lives so that we are not conformed to this world but are transformed by the renewing of our minds. How is the mind of a slave renewed? Bo, that's a question, don't you want to be renewed? tell the truth don't you want to have power? tell the truth sir why don't you have it? because Jesus isn't really real in your life I know you talk about him I know I know you sing about him I know you love him in your own way but you're like someone who looks at the sun but you never set yourself in it so you never show the effect of having been in the Sun, we don't see any energy in you, we just don't see you tanning, but you see the sun shining and you talk about how beautiful the sun is, but you won't be able to get into it, that's how it is. in church you talk about Jesus and you feel happy and good when you talk about Jesus but Jesus didn't come here for you to talk about it Jesus came here for you to follow him wait a minute wait a minute I'm almost done something of you will be happy when I go, Thanks, but I've never had it so good.

I have enjoyed every minute in Fresno. I have met some of the most wonderful people in Fresno. They are beautiful people. They are personswonderful. They just need them. They just need to be renewed in their minds. They need to stop conforming to the world and I am going to show them by the grace of God how that is done. Amen, as through one man, sin entered the world and death came through all men. have sinned, then death has passed to all men, but since sin came from one man, all will be made All li, who is that one man Jesus Christ according to the Bible in the Koran, the name of the man It is Muhammad, what we do not understand.

Disturbed, do you know what the word Muhammad means? One worthy of praise and praise. Do you ever sing a song? I don't know what you came to do, but I came to praise his name when you say I came to praise his name. Saying I came to Muhammad, that's what his name means. That's what Muhammad means praise His name so Jesus to me is Muhammad and Muhammad is Jesus the world is looking for Jesus Jesus is worthy of Praise be one who you should be happy to praise amen you say praise the Lord hallelujah why should you praise him because of what he did in your life.

Amen, but the work is not done yet. Now listen to what I'm going to say. Most of us believe that we have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that is powerful. Those are powerful statements. I have a personal relationship with. Jesus Christ, you know, Christ is not his last name like Henry Washington Jesus Christ, Christ is not his last name, Christ is his title, okay, the first phase of him was min. Ministry opening the eyes of the blind, making the deaf hear the mute speak, raising the dead. to life but he was going to become the Christ but that happens after the cross and after his Ascension when he ascends he comes to Power listen now to a power that he didn't have when he was just playing Jesus, he had had power when he was Jesus but he has even more power when you become the Christ now listen listen listen Christ means anointed with power to crush the wicked when Jesus was in the world he had power to teach to open the eyes of the blind to heal but he didn't He has absolute power, but when he went to his father, his father, according to the book, put all power in his hands and all things under him except himself, so the book says that when he returns they will see him coming in the Clouds of Heaven. what a great power, power to do what you think he will come back to say hello good morning peace be upon you uh baby when he comes back this time the book says he will come back to destroy the evil ones from the face of the Earth if Clinton is not there.

Well, he came to sit him down if D Shia ping. Well, he came to sit him down. He comes to take over the kingdoms of this world so that they become the kingdom of our God and his Christ. That's his Bible. I'm not misquoting an It's okay baby, I know, I know the baby is crying today and in just a few days she will grow up. What kind of world will she know? What kind of young man will know that she will abuse that precious little girl in the world? As low and dirty as this, we all have a duty to perform and we must mind our father's business, so my beloved brothers and sisters, when Jesus Jesus walked among us, his disciples were called Disciples, but after he He descended, he ascended, forgive me. they were no longer called Disciples they were called what Apostles Apostles an apostle is above a prophet what does that mean in the time of the prophets it really ended there nothing to prophesy when God is present the Apostle is a spirit-filled individual who exercises power to bring out the will of him who sits at the right hand when Paul was teaching the Galatians Paul said because Christ was not yet formed in you I could not help but hear those words because Christ was not yet formed in you how is Christ formed? ?

The inner power of God in a human being begins first with the word, you take the word and you try to live the word and the word takes root in you and the word that is God and from God and has power in it begins to grow. in you so that it is no longer you that people are looking at, they are beginning to see Christ forming right in you now listen to what I am saying, that is not something that belongs to Jesus alone, it is something that can happen in the life of each one of us you know why because when they asked him Teacher teach us to pray he said pray this way Our Father you didn't say my dad and not yours so if my father listens it made me reflect on him and he is also your father then Why we are not reflecting it is because it has not been formed in you, I am going to close, beloved, many of you think that Faran is some evil person, but as I said last night, look at me, I am 60 years old, look at me, look at the light that surrounds me, look at the light that comes out of me look at my skin look at my eyes look at your brother I should have met someone you fell apart at 40 I haven't started living at 60 God willing I will look better at 90 I have nine children I have been married to the same woman for 40 years I have 23 grandchildren and a great-grandson and I look better than some of you young people and so does my wife.

What do we know that you don't know what we are doing that you are not doing? Brother Faron has lifted 370 pounds off my chest. Well, the firon can squat over 400 pounds. The fire snatches more than 400 pounds from the ground. 60 years of bab. You see, I'm a new man, that's okay, because you can't put new wine in an old wineskin. The skin breaks and the wine spills. If God wants to put a new word in you, you have to be ready for it. That's right, you are dying very young because you don't know how to live, but if you really knew Jesus, he said, I came so that you might have life and have it in abundance, but why are you D at 40 and 50 and 60 and C9?

That's right, why are you losing the power of your mind simply because you are an old woman or an old man when Moses was 12 years old and when you look at the Bible and open Genesis you see the old Patriarchs living to 500? 600 700 800 900 almost a thousand years and you can't make 50 60 teeth fall out that's right you're in bad shape some of you know we live under stress this is a world full of stress you know there's a lot of stress in Faron I'm the man most vilified black man in America, but look at me, I look worried, I look upset, what do I know?

I'm not exactly stressed exactly when I came here to Fresno they had hit me so hard, but when I spoke to the press I just been here I haven't been here 48 Hours look at the way they wrote this morning some of them seem to have converted and listen brothers and sisters the word of God is power man cannot live on bread alone but by every word that came out of the mouth of God yes Lord my teacher The Honorable Elijah Muhammad that great man saw me in the world of entertainment and called me that life and he taught me a word I didn't finish college I completed my junior year of college and I got married and my wife had a baby and I couldn't see myself staying in college while my wife had a baby.

I needed to be out working to feed my family when I left show business. I didn't know what my future would be, but God gave me a vision when I first became a Muslim. In this vision I saw two doors, one that I could look directly through and I saw a pile of riches and on the door was written success. He would have been successful as a musician as an entertainer because he was so good, yes sir, but there was another door and that door was called Islam and it had a black veil over it. I could not see what Islam had to offer me, but in the vision I chose the door not of success but a door where I did not know what the future was but I chose to submit to the will of God and when I chose to submit to the will of God I entered into a process that was difficult because the greatest enemy you have ever fought against is yourself amen Elijah Muhammad taught me in such a way that I abandoned all my vices but now I must become a student of the word and the word grew in Me the word of God contains three potentials, light, life and power, but if the heart into which the word enters is not a heart of faith, then the word cannot take root in you.

The word is like an atom, but an atom needs an atom crusher to make it move at tremendous speed and then. explode the atam and extract the power that is in the atam you have the word but you do not have the power that is in the word because your faith is so weak and superficial that you do not put your faith in an exchange to prove the power of God in your life you come to church and sing that is not proven the power is right you read some scriptures that are not proven the power you prove the power of the word of God by believing in that word so strong that you release in your belief the power that is contained in the word and a light turns on.

From the inside out you have life, it is called holy spirit because the word is truth and the essence of that truth is Holy because it is from God, so when the word is passed and it cracks and the energy opens in that word, you have the power to live a holy life, then you have the power to crush your weakness so that you can be acceptable to God, but you also have the power to crush evil. in others and in the world and this is where we as Christians or Muslims have failed, you show no power to crush your evil and you certainly have no effect on the world, you simply talk about Jesus, but when you leave this church and go out to that world you don't even know where to stop to set that world right Lord I'm lying, no, no, I'm not, you don't have to start in the world, go home and start in your own house.

I am showing you something every day that I live Jesus kept saying to his disciples oh you of little faith if you only had Faith the grain of a mustard seed could tell this mountain to be removed and it would be removed look at all the mountains in front of you You well, I can't do it, you know, I would, but I can't, I just can't, oh Lord, listen well, I would, I would, but you, no, brother, you're afraid of your shadow. you're literally afraid of white people you think if you stand your ground you're afraid to die look at yourself just look at yourself you can't know

christ

and be like that you just can't make fun of jesus people laugh when you call yourself a

christ

ian and then act like you you didn't have any power, the same with Muslims, you know they laugh at you, I'm a Muslim, you don't have any power now, look since the honorable Elijah Muhammad taught me he's gone, you know my? dear family, the greatest proof of how much you love your mother is not what you do when your mother looks at you, the greatest proof of your love for your mother is remembering what your mother taught you when she is not there and you live those principles that she taught you The greatest test of us for Elijah Muhammad, our teacher was not only to show him love when he was present but when he was no longer here, to pat us on the back for the good we did or reach into his pocket and give us something for the good that we did the greatest thing we can do now is listen to what he taught take his mission on our shoulders and work to make it real bear my yoke upon you Jesus said my yoke is easy my burden is light how many of you have the yoke of Jesus upon you, not one, you become a burden, you are not taking any burden, what was the mission of Jesus, all those people, that is your job, your job is to get each one of them to confess Him as Lord, that Is it your job?

Work, how many have you brought? Talk to me, let's go to church, how many did you bring with you? That's right, this is a big, beautiful house, you should feel it every week, all people need something. The bishop is a good man, why don't you bring him? people or why aren't you teaching people yourself because you don't know that's right you don't read any scripture you don't study the word so what can you say to people if you don't know that's right? you're waiting for Bishop to give him the word, well, suppose Bishop isn't here one day, then we'll just follow the next preacher when Elijah Muhammad parted ways with us, he left us a rich legacy in the word of him.

I refused to let the world think that. The man was an evil man. I refuse to let the world continue to believe that Elijah Muhammad was some social reformer and that God was not intimately involved in that man's work and the proof that Elijah was right is that I am a student of his and I am using what he gave me. taught and now I am known throughout the world not because of me but because of the word that is in me now I can tell all of you greater is he who is in me than he who is in the world look what I tell you a man has formed in me from a word I am no longer Lewis Lewis is the name my mother gave me I am Elijah it was formed in me because I believe in his word I am Jesus because it was formed in me because I believe in his word that is why when I go out I open the eyes of the blind do not approach me and walk away in the same way that I found do not bother when I say I am Jesus each of you should be a little Jesus if you are only going to talk about Jesus and not be Jesus, how will it be done the world different?

The same forces that came against Jesus have come against me. Jesus had an argument in the Scriptures with the Jews with whom I argue, talk to me, don't get excited, I'm not anti-Semitic, I had an argument with the Jews, they don't like them, much less they liked Jesus, that's exactly it, they didn't like Peter . and they didn't like Paul and they won't like you if you defend what the Scripture says because they don't believe in the New Testament and they don't believe in Jesus yes, talk to me, he said thatJesus was a Jew, but even so the Jews did not welcome him.

I am Jewish, how can you be Christian, Muslim and Jewish too? Right, you're just playing with my mind with those things you talk about, oh brother and sister, if only you knew the book you would know that what I'm saying is right you will see that the old Jew is external in the days of the ancient prophets of the Torah the Jew was known by the circumcision of the male organ Paul said that the Jew is not the Jew outwardly we go, but the Jew is a Jew inwardly by what circumcision of what of the well, let's talk about that, how do you circumcise the heart of a man?

Well, you see the male organ with the skin on it, it becomes a hiding place for bacteria, especially where God has placed our genitals, it is dark and there is no light and therefore disease germs can grow very quickly in the genital area, therefore, the genitals must be washed constantly, the male organ must be washed, but it cannot be washed well. with the skin on top so that the circumcision cuts the fork so that the male organ can be washed why should the man? The organ must be washed because the male organ introduces the germ of life into the female, but with the germ of life there could be other germs if the organ is not clean, so Moses told the Jews to cut the fork and Jesus was not interested in just cutting the fork. for the skin of the male organ because the heart is the secret place of the human being, it is like your private chambers where no one knows what you are really thinking.

You can claim to be a Muslim, you claim to be a Christian, but as a man thinks in his heart power so is he what are your thoughts what are you really thinking what are the secret desires of the heart no one knows except you and God so when you cut the skin of the heart you allow the heart to be washed so that the pure matters of life can come out of the heart so that the word of God is not poisoned by a dirty and unclean heart, a heart of envy, a heart of lust, a heart full of the world, so you have to cut off the spirit and wash the heart so that the word of God can come through a pure heart and not full of diseases, so today I am a Jew, but I am not a Jew outwardly because of circumcision of the male organ.

I am a Jew today, yes sir, because I am an inwardly correct Jew but those who are only Jews outwardly John the Revelator says those who say they are Jews and I will not make them from the synagogue of Satan go read his book it is all there Paul said Jews and Gentiles are all under sin the poison of asps is under their tongue and their fit feet are quick to shed blood and their mouth is an open grave hey, the way of peace they have not known there is no righteous one none good knows none I I didn't say it so Jesus was a Jew but hated by the Jews because Jesus was not an external Jew that's why you see Jesus with his heart exposed photos of this beautiful heart exposed because he had no secrets he was not a bad man brothers and sisters hate me without cause that's fine I don't hate Jews yes, I don't hate white people because they are white.

I hate the evil they have done and continue to do to our people. It has nothing to do with Judaism. It has nothing to do with the teachings. of the prophets has everything to do with faith that has been denied. The Jew is not a race. The Jew is not a nationality. The Jew is a faith. So when you deny the faith, are you still a Jew? When you deny faith. Are you still a Christian when? you deny the faith are you still a muslim when you deny submission to the will of God you cannot pretend to be what you are not that is right and that is why my dear family when I leave this holy place I want to be like Jesus I want to be like Muhammad I want to be worthy of praise but I do not want to be praised much because I know that I am not worthy Only God is worthy of being praised we love you and I love you because I love you my life is in danger but as I told you last night I am in the bosom of God that thanks have determined that I must die because the truth from my lips is freeing the people who have deterred everyone oh yes pharaoh must go just as he was with Jesus when the crowds started coming after him they said if we don't stop him now the whole world will go after him him and they are saying the same thing about me today we have to stop it, they lie about me, yes, do they brutally lie about me?

The government doesn't like me. The FBI doesn't like me. The CIA doesn't like me. Some black preachers don't like me. Some Muslim imams don't like me. What have I done to any of you? I try to continue the work of the man I love I do not speak of love for The Honorable Elijah Muhammad and for Jesus I live and for that I am hated Without a Cause but even though they want me dead and they still plan my death While I speak to you, yes, although pass through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear not, because he is with me.

I would love for you to go home tonight, take the floor, and start studying. Yes, don't wear it all. Bishop, but you must know it for yourself. Do you have to know when we preach well? Yes, and you should know when we preach wrong. You will not know unless you yourself take the Quran and study it morning, noon and night. Study your Bible morning, noon and night or if you don't want to do it that way at least give God a little freedom in your life and boy, if you believe strong enough, together we can turn Fresno around, yes, in every way.

God said that he. I could change the whole world with one man look how many men and women there are here tonight so if you would stop sitting Christians uhhuh don't do anything Good for nothing Christians Christian and get up and go to work like the teacher wanted you to Don't be a sitting muslim, go to the mosque, do my prayer. Muslim, go quickly to the mosque. Muslim, but you see people in darkness and you will not share any light with them. Don't be good for anything. Muslim, be a Christian or Muslim, that is worried because you are the salt of that grass, oh yes, but if the salt has lost its power of flavor it is good for nothing more than to be trampled, that is why I leave you with these words, no you are conformed to this world, go home. and take the cigarette, throw it away, it's killing this holy house, that's true, you see this beautiful house, isn't it magnificent?

It is beautiful thanks to God who made it not God this is man's work here this is the vanity of man but this this is the true house of the Living God so when you go home why would you put dirt in the house of God? Amen go home and clean the house, you understand, give it a good cleaning, eat the best foods because man is what he eats, do not eat the divine. Forbidden foods I know you love pork. I used to eat a lot of pork until I learned to get rid of that pork.

Some of you get so fat that you get sick, your whole body is full of will and dying because you're not eating right you're not cleaning the

temple

oh you were doing it right you were doing it right I ate a roast pig and I was going home to eat my pig and you talked like that about my pig God made everything clean, yes, he did. Peter had that Vision, don't you remember God, oh yes, yes, sir, and all the meats were in it and Peter said: I can't eat anything impure and God said I didn't do anything impure, so from that day I have been eating pork since I've been eating squirrels and rats.

I've been eating snakes. Praise God, you must stop. The pig is still unclean and you can't clean it according to Peter's vision, you just need to do it. Understand Peter's vision, you know what he was talking about, he wasn't talking about meats, he was talking, the vision was about the exclusivity of the Jews, they wanted to keep the gospel to themselves, the Gentiles were unclean, they didn't want to spread the gospel. To the Gentiles then this vision came of all these meats, they were unclean. Meats that represented unclean people and Peter was told Eed, he said, but I can't eat anything unclean, he said, "I didn't make them, I made them unclean, that is, I didn't make them." Don't make them unclean Satan made them unclean go and cleanse them with the gospel and eat them and make them part of the body of Christ oh isn't it so beautiful so don't use that as an excuse to eat this disgusting food and kill yourself beautiful, amen, now just stop eating so much and getting fat.

The sloppy-looking stomach fell to its knees. Some of you haven't seen your toes in years, okay, and I know some of my fellow Christians are true, you know? we, we, just exploded into death, young man, stop, that's right, you, a man, you want to stay here as long as you can hold on to life, don't let it go, don't let life go, hold on to the life and the way you hold on. Following life is putting the best in your body and even the best food has poison, so you have to learn to fast for a few days, you know how Hala was, we used to fast for two and three days, at some point we would fast. 4 days 5 days 7 days I went crazy one day and I was going to fast for 14 days and Elías mamed said brother are you going to eat he said because my people are unclean you start fasting so much that you don't want to get close to that which is unclean and then you are in the house reading the scriptures when you should be on the street looking for the unclean brother and sister but I have fasted up to 40 days brothers and sisters and I am not dead, you will not die if you learn to fast and 98%, 95% of all your diseases will be They can heal if you learn to do it.

I'm telling you what I know, you see this swelling on your skin, everything is poisonous, you start fasting and cleansing yourself. your diet is like that and you start to feel better if you stop eating pork just for 30 days instead of eating that type of meat, look for cleaner meat, look for fish that comes from Pure Waters clean Waters, hey, clean your life, this is the house of God and then let God grow in you, it's okay until there is no more you, it's just God walking in you, thank you for listening, may God bless you as I greet you in peace, asalam alikum, come on Let's give it to him, take a seat. just for a moment, please, just for a moment, I want to say goodbye, please don't dismiss yourself, let's respect the honor of him Minister Lewis Faron, hold your seats just for a moment.
