00:00To you, I'm just a black man, but that is not my race.
00:07My race is not a color, it is a seed.
00:11And that seed is doing the will of our Father who is in heaven.
00:15I'm not speaking for a color of people, but I'm speaking to the fatherless, those who
00:21don't know God, those who are trapped in their sins.
00:27And before I begin, let me make myself clear.
00:29If you think this is a colonized religion or a European way, I want you to think not.
00:36Think about this.
00:37How can a house stand if it is divided against itself?
00:40Meaning, how can someone claim Jesus Christ if they're not walking or not practicing or
00:47living in the spirit of Jesus Christ?
00:50So they can say Jesus Christ all day long, but are they walking in the spirit of Jesus
00:57Christ?
00:58Are they living in his character?
01:01Jesus says in Luke 11, 28, Jesus replied, blessed brother are those who hear the word
01:07of God and obey it.
01:10So colonized religion, European way, I think not.
01:14But let me tell you this.
01:16Who is my brother?
01:18Who is my sister?
01:19And I already told you that my race is not a color.
01:23My race is a seed and that seed is to do God's will.
01:28That is my chosen race.
01:30Confused, brainwashed, no, I think not.
01:37First Peter 2, 9 tells us, but you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,
01:46his own special people that you may proclaim the praise of him who called you out of darkness
01:54into light.
01:56So God calls out of darkness, he called me out of darkness into light, he calls you out
02:00of darkness into light.
02:03We are a chosen generation, a race, no, a seed, a race that is a seed to come from darkness
02:13into light.
02:16The vision of Jesus, it's not all about color, it's not about color, don't look at color
02:24what Jesus looks like, look at his character, look at his righteousness, look at his love.
02:30He loves you, he is for every, every continent, every continent of people, he's for every
02:39continent of people, he created every single thing, he is the alpha and omega, the vision
02:46of Jesus.
02:47I'm Trey Knowles, and welcome to Truth and Knowledge.
02:53Transformation, reborn again, brand new in Christ, recognition, Jesus is Lord, the joy
03:05of the Lord is my salvation, the righteousness of the Lord is my substance.
03:12Truth and Knowledge, Truth and Knowledge.
03:18Transformation, reborn again, brand new in Christ, recognition, Jesus is Lord, the joy
03:25of the Lord is my salvation, the righteousness of the Lord is my substance.
03:31Truth and Knowledge, Truth and Knowledge.
03:43Jesus is the son of God, he's a person of color, but color does not matter.
03:52What matters is that he loves you, and he's not willing for no one to perish but come
03:58to repentance.
04:01Color does not matter.
04:04In fact, we're not supposed to be having a picture of anything that is in the heavens
04:11above and the earth below us.
04:17That's part of the Ten Commandments.
04:21Color does not matter.
04:23Jesus is a person of color.
04:27But Matthew 12, 46 and 50, while Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and
04:33brother stood outside waiting to speak to him.
04:37Someone told him, Jesus, your mother and brother are standing outside waiting to speak to you.
04:43Jesus replied, who is my mother and who is my brother?
04:49And he points to his disciples and said, here is my mother, here is my brother, for whoever
04:57does the will of my father in heaven is my brother, sister, and mother.
05:06Whoever does the will of my father in heaven is my brother or sister.
05:11Color does not matter.
05:14Color does not matter.
05:19So don't get all hanged up on color, brothers and sisters, because color does not matter.
05:26What matters, are you doing the will of God?
05:29Are you doing the will of God?
05:31That's what matters.
05:33John's vision of Christ in Revelations 1, 9, I, John, your brother and companion, in
05:40the sufferings and kingdom and patience and endurance that are in Jesus Christ, was on
05:46the island of Pompos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
05:52On the Lord's day, I was in the spirit and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
05:58which said, write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches.
06:08I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me.
06:13And when I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands.
06:17And among the lampstands was someone like the Son of Man, dressed in a robe, reached
06:27down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest.
06:32So John was a disciple.
06:34He walked with Jesus Christ.
06:36So he knew what Jesus Christ looks like.
06:39So remember, John walked with Christ.
06:41He knew what Jesus looks like.
06:44So in verse 13, it says, among the lampstands was someone like the Son of Man, dressed in
06:50a robe, reached down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest.
06:56The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow.
07:01And his eyes were like blazing fire.
07:05His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace.
07:10So his feet was black, like bronze glowing in a furnace.
07:14So he's a person of color.
07:16And his voice was like the sound of rushing water.
07:21In his right hand, he had seven stars.
07:24And coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword.
07:29His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
07:34And when I saw him, when John saw him, he fell to his feet as though he was dead.
07:41Then he placed his right hand on John and said, don't be afraid.
07:49Don't be afraid.
07:51I am the first and the last.
07:53He's the Alpha and Omega.
07:54I am the living one.
07:55I was dead.
07:57And now look, I am alive forever and ever.
08:00And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
08:06He holds the keys.
08:08He is our salvation.
08:11Where, therefore, what you have seen, what is now, and what will take place later.
08:17The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this.
08:24The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches.
08:28And the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
08:33And so to me, I feel like God is telling us that he has all of us, the whole world in his hands.
08:40Every continent, all his people are in his hands.
08:46He is the light for his people.
08:49He is the light for his people.
08:53It doesn't matter what color Jesus is.
08:55He is for everyone.
08:57Every person on all the continents, on the seven continents.
09:02He is for you, for me, for you, for you, for you.
09:05It doesn't matter what color you are.
09:07Get that color stuff out of your mind.
09:09Get this color stuff out of your heart.
09:11What matters, are you doing the will of God?
09:14That's what matters.
09:17Colossians 3, 11 says, in the new life, there's no difference between Greek and Jew.
09:25There's no difference between Greek or Jew.
09:28Those who are circumcised and those who are not circumcised.
09:32People, foreigners, there's no difference between slaves or free people, but Christ is in all, all believers.
09:42Christ is in all that is important.
09:45Christ is as important.
09:47That's all that matters, not his color, not what color Jesus is.
09:50He's for all people, Jews, Greek.
09:53There's no, there's no favoritism.
09:56There's, you know, whoever believes is God's people, is the child of God.
10:02We're all God's people, as long as you believe and you're doing the will of God.
10:07There's no person better than another person.
10:12So this is not a European way, because if it was, are you, are they following the spirit of Jesus Christ?
10:23Are they throwing, are they walking with Jesus Christ?
10:27Are they, are they, are they in the image of Jesus Christ?
10:32So it's not a European thing.
10:35Jesus is a person of color, but color does not matter.
10:40What matters are you doing the will of the father who's in heaven.
10:47So color does not matter.
10:50It doesn't matter what color Jesus is.
10:53But what matters is unity, diversity in the body.
10:56That's what matters.
10:57First Corinthians 12, let's say 12 through 14, just as a body has many parts,
11:08just as a body, the one has many parts, but all its many parts form one body.
11:16So is Jesus Christ.
11:19For we are all baptized by one spirit, so as to form one body, whether Jew or Gentile, slave or free.
11:27And we were all given this one spirit to drink.
11:32Even so, the body is not made up of one part, but of many.
11:39So we got one spirit to drink, and that's the spirit that we should focus on.
11:44That's the spirit that we should live in.
11:47So our race is not the color of our skin.
11:51Our race is a seed.
11:55That seed is to live in the body of Christ, to live in the spirit of Christ.
12:06That is our race.
12:08Doesn't matter what color Jesus is.
12:11But the image of Jesus Christ, that is what matters.
12:16He is a son of God.
12:18He's not willing for no one to perish but come to repentance.
12:22A vision of Jesus Christ.
12:24I'm Trey Knowles, and thank you for watching Truth and Knowledge.
12:29Grace and peace.
