A while back I talked about the pastor who wanted his female congregation to attend church literally butt naked and I wondered at the mentality of his followers.
Now we have Pastor Jamal Bryant upseting the interwebs when a brief video taken from his sermon did the rounds. In the 40 second clip the pastor quotes lyrics from a Chris Brown song stating: “These hoes ain’t loyal”.
Far be it for me to stick up for a misogynistic, homophobic man of the church being gay and female, but I have to say I don’t’ see a problem with him quoting rap lyrics. Hear me out.
It can be hard to engage with your target audience no matter what biz your in so rule one of appealing to the crowds becomes know your audience. Seems to me the pastor knows his congregation pretty well and knows they will understand what he means.
The problem with this story is that the quote was taken out of context. Whose got time to watch the full clip?
If you don’t have the time this is what he said:
An anointed woman of God is not dreaming about a man. An anointed woman of God is dreaming for her man. So when she really connects to who you are, she begins to dream about what she sees you accomplishing, what she sees you becoming and you with your silly stuff, go run off with a side-chick who don’t have no anointing.
The problem with Pilate, is a problem with a lot of men, is he didn’t know what he had. Had Pilate had listened to the woman he had, his life would’ve been better. Because he didn’t listen to the woman of God, he ended up losing his job, ended up in exile, ended up being kicked out of the palace, ended up committing suicide. If you got enough confidence to not be insecure and threatened about the woman God sent you, when she speaks, she is speaking from the voice of God of what she sees over your life!
Every sister just elbowed another sister, “he should’ve listened!” Every brother, would you tap another brother and say, “I should’ve listened to her.” God help me! Old saints, y’all forgive me but I gotta tell ya, these hoes ain’t loyal! You gotta find somebody!
Pilate lives in conflict because he washes his hands and then signs the death certificate. He could’ve put a curve on the whole movement of women’s suffrage. Women could’ve got the right to vote earlier They could’ve had the right to own property sooner if he in that right moment would’ve listened to what the woman of God spoke over his life, trying to help him. It was no benefit for her. She just wanted to see him in his rightful place with God!
You done found the right one when they are not into your car, your clothes or your income, but they got a desire to see you in the will of God. That’s how you know you’ve found somebody who’s anointed!
All I’m saying is sometimes you have to put some time in to get to the truth of things.
