Sunday Lecture  9-08-2024

The lecture emphasizes the importance of self-improvement, relying on God, and rejecting false teachers. Muhammad compares Farrakhan to an extension cord, drawing a parallel between his teachings and those of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, his predecessor. The central theme is the idea of the “will of God” as a powerful force that exists within individuals, capable of influencing their actions and leading them towards success. The lecture encourages listeners to cultivate their own faith, avoid negativity, and embrace the power of their own minds.

00:00:00:00 – 00:00:01:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Follow along silently.

00:00:03:26 – 00:00:19:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Surely I am being turned to thee, O Allah. Striving to be upright. To he who originated the heavens and the earth. And I am not of the polytheists. Surely my prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are all for a law of the.

00:00:19:13 – 00:00:20:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Lord of the worlds.

00:00:21:00 – 00:00:47:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
No associate has he in this am I commanded. And I am of those who submit. O Allah, thou art the King. There is no God with thee. Thou art, my Lord, and I am the servant. And I have been greatly unjust to myself. And I confess my faults. So grant me protection against all my faults, for none grants protection against faults with thee, and guide me into the best of morals that none can guide to the best of morals but thee.

00:00:47:08 – 00:01:16:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And turn away from me the evil and the indecent morals. For none can turn from me the evil and the indecent morals, but the. And who Allah make Muhammad successful and make the true followers of Muhammad successful as thou did. Make Abraham and the true followers of Abraham successful. For surely God praised and magnify, and O Allah, bless Muhammad and bless the true followers of Muhammad is doubtless Abraham and the true followers of Abraham.

00:01:16:14 – 00:01:53:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
For surely thou art praised and magnified by me. You may be seated in the name of Allah, the beneficent, the Most Merciful. We give praise and thanks to Allah for his wonderful, wonderful intervention, affairs in the person of Mr. W Fard Muhammad, the long awaited Messiah of the Christians and the Mahdi of the Muslims. We thank him for coming himself and not sending someone in his stead to handle our affairs, for we were in a condition that the social sciences of this world said that we were irretrievable, irredeemable.

00:01:53:04 – 00:02:22:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We were dead, so only a God could raise a dead man and woman from the condition that we were in. So we thank Master Farad Mohammed for coming to save us. But in that time, he knew he was doing of greater work, and he was looking for a man that he could deposit his very mind into. And that mind at man would not break, he would not falter, nor would he leave his post, regardless of whom or what he stayed the course.

00:02:22:28 – 00:02:41:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And you can believe family. He went through something because he was dealing with us. He was dealing with the walking dead, and we was working him over and he was just trying to help us, you know? So that’s where we were at. He was in a dead, cemetery and an insane asylum because that’s where we were as a people.

00:02:41:14 – 00:03:00:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And if you look outside the doors now, you might say, well, brother, what has changed? Well, there is change. It’s just gradual and it’s very small. But the man that he gave that job to, he came with three heads. He wore his. But he had two more to give up. And the next man that I’m talking about that got his hat and boy, did he wear it.

00:03:00:23 – 00:03:24:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He didn’t have it broke down. He didn’t break the brim. He just walked with the greatest of truth, vigor, strength and power because he elevated you and I and the man that I speak of, the Georgia born black man. The Georgia born giant, born Elijah Poole. But because of the wonderful and magnificent work that he was and is doing on us, he became known as the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

00:03:24:12 – 00:03:50:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh, praise belongs to Allah for that wonderful, wonderful, beautiful human being. However, they say in the scriptures, confession is good for the soul. Brother Joseph didn’t Master Fard Muhammad. I did not meet the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, but that just bears witness to the strength and the power of the teachings that they brought. That a brother like me that wasn’t even around when they were doing what they were doing.

00:03:50:05 – 00:03:52:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yet I’m still affected by it.

00:03:52:18 – 00:03:53:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And so are you.

00:03:53:16 – 00:03:54:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.

00:03:54:22 – 00:04:22:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But they didn’t leave us comfortless. They left a man in this state that would wear his hat. Oh, he wears it beautifully. And he look good in it when he’s wearing it, too. And if we follow his example, we can look and act just like him or the man that I’m speaking of. He was our illustrious leader, teacher, guide, friend, confidant and champion, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

00:04:22:14 – 00:04:43:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
All praise belongs to that wonderful that’s trilogy. Those three that I just mentioned. And we thank the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan for putting in our midst a helper of his that has, you know, stayed the course. He can beat up a lot to, but he ain’t left this post I’m talking about our Delaware Valley student, Regional Minister Rodney Muhammad.

00:04:43:06 – 00:05:04:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I thank him over and over for the opportunity to come before you and express, you know, some of the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, but your family. I got to ask one question. How are you feeling? Praise be to Allah then if you’re feeling fine right now, when you came in the door and you’re feeling fine, hopefully before you leave, you feel better.

00:05:05:01 – 00:05:24:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And by the time this election is over, you’ll feel supreme. So you will walk out in a condition that you weren’t in when you came through the door, which shows you the magnitude of the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, as represented by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Thank you all for being here this morning on time. Thank you for submitting to the check procedure.

00:05:24:16 – 00:05:40:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You know, the check procedure is very necessary. You know, when we was growing up, our parents had a check procedure, didn’t it? Yes, sir. Yeah. Tell us in a minute. Don’t you bring that boy in my house no more I don’t, Well, I’m only one about 4 or 5 people. Guys. Yeah, y’all know what I’m talking about.

00:05:40:11 – 00:05:55:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And then that we grew up, we had that same rule. Hold up now. Now, I seen him coming up out there on the corner, and it wasn’t what I’m talking about. Cutting up. They were cutting up. Don’t bring him around here no more. Or if they come in, they door people get loud in the house. Ho ho! You ain’t even got to go downstairs.

00:05:55:06 – 00:06:18:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
What’s going on down there? Oh, mama. And my mom and my dad. I’m not like that. You can’t do that. Otherwise, when you get, you know, extracted. Oh. Praises, y’all. But thank you, family, for submitting to the check procedure. We have rules. And my mother used to tell me as a child, she said, son, any house that don’t have no rules ain’t a home.

00:06:18:23 – 00:06:35:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yeah. So that’s why we home right now? Because we got rules in here that has to be followed to the letter. You got to be 100% or y’all don’t look with us, right? That’s good. All right. Family, I didn’t make that up. That’s the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. That’s what he was told by Master Foreign. Mommy, we got to be 100.

00:06:35:08 – 00:06:53:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So it looks like Master Fard Muhammad started that term, We going to keep it 100? Well, let’s do just that. Let me just go on. I am a public servant. Representative of the greatest. The boat is the baddest, most powerful newspaper on the planet. And I’m talking about the final column. That’s right. This is the good news.

00:06:53:18 – 00:07:14:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
There’s a lot of bad things is being reported in here. But it’s the good news for you and I. Because every time we see something going on in the enemy’s world and it’s coming down brick by brick, unless you know that our time is coming. Because he said that we can’t rule as long as the devil is in power and long, the only way we can get in power is we got to bring him down.

00:07:14:25 – 00:07:30:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That don’t mean we go out there and start killing white folks. Nah, I don’t even need to go out and talk smack and run our own people who ain’t. I can write, but the first verse was we need to kill and smack around is right here. You and me is here in our mind. Oh, praise is due to life.

00:07:30:24 – 00:07:53:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
This is where we start. That’s why we have a course on Friday called Self-improvement the basis for Community Development. And every time we improve ourselves, don’t we trust people around us? What? They say something about you. You look different. You act different. You walk different, you talk different. That’s because I’ve been in a different kind of class and that’s what it does.

00:07:53:26 – 00:08:10:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
It’s to make me be different from the world. It’s out there by our laws. Permission. Oh, praise is due to Allah. So this final call, dear family y’all know is local, national, international news. And it’s not even a paper really because it tells you right at the top. This is a value. What does it mean. This connected to some other volume.

00:08:10:28 – 00:08:28:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Good makes it well I can remember back in the day y’all. Some of us I don’t know in this room, we probably remember encyclopedias that came in volumes in username. And if you we didn’t have Google, we didn’t have, you know, Yahoo and all that stuff. We had to go to that book. You opened it up and you had to look up stuff, and you had to physically.

00:08:28:07 – 00:08:30:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Read and write stuff down.

00:08:30:26 – 00:08:55:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Who really makes you write right, but right. And make sure you exact em. All right, family, let’s move on. Thank you all for being here this morning. And, brother will be on here shortly. And I know he has a powerful message that he wants to deliver to us, but in the meantime, I lifted a few things that I wanted to share with us, this morning.

00:08:55:10 – 00:09:13:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You know, we live in a world. You know, we see the news all the time. And sometimes when you see a lot of questionable material and you don’t have some way to analyze that material, you have to go to somebody who knows what’s going on, right? You know, have you ever noticed they got all these political analysts out here as it pertains to the election that’s coming up?

00:09:14:01 – 00:09:33:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
They got they got this. Would you call it he’s the foremost on that. She’s the foremost on that when it come to politics. I mean, he’s he’s supposed to know it all. Well, okay. I’m I’m inclined to believe that. That’s just a lot of talk because they don’t know it. All right. According to the book that I read, last is, I am the best.

00:09:33:16 – 00:09:52:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
No, no, not a good nor I don’t just know some, but I know it all. And if you listen to me, you two can walk and wear those same shoes by following the example of my man in your mess. So, in other words, when you see all this news on television and it’s questionable, don’t you need an analyst to kind of help you with it?

00:09:52:08 – 00:10:12:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Sometimes? Yes, well, we have and I missed the greatest analyst that the world has ever seen. I don’t care what language you speak. I don’t care what your gender is. Male. Female. Colors, whatever the mother things are out there, or even they can learn from what our analyst has to share with the world. And the man I’m talking about is the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

00:10:12:24 – 00:10:41:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We saw them. We see them on the news. You remember that term that, Trump said he wants to make America great again where everybody else thinking, well, what do you got then he can they came out with some stuff that he claimed he going to be doing. But the Honorable Louis Farrakhan told us straight up. He said when he says he wants to make America Great again, I mean, he wants to make it white again in their favor because, you know, two things can’t occupy the same space at the same time.

00:10:41:11 – 00:11:06:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
One of these are moving in and the other was moving out. Y’all. Y’all got that right. Praise be to Allah. Can I show you how to minister? Prove what he was saying? You said if we don’t know, we need an analyst to break things down to the simplest compound. The truth, that’s Farrakhan. Let me show you what America was making of what America looked like when she was great as it pertain to you.

00:11:06:03 – 00:11:29:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And I. How many of us remember, the Black Panthers? Yeah. Remember how they did? And brothers America said she was great then, right? What about the move right here in Philadelphia? What about Tulsa, Oklahoma? You dropped a bomb on me, They dropped one on move two. That’s right. Yeah, that was in America. Was in her greatness.

00:11:29:17 – 00:11:52:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
She thought she was. Well, let’s go on. Let’s just call the roll. What about Rodney King, Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, 12 years old, right, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd. And the list is even longer. I just listed those because they were in the news all for a long time. When they did what they did to them.

00:11:52:08 – 00:12:20:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But that’s when a message, that’s what America calls great. And did you know that when President Barack Obama was president, that every white person in America armed themselves to the teeth they saw? I mean, they said they did almost ran out of weapons because that’s how many they saw. But you and I wouldn’t ban them. Oh, no, I kind of I kind of like what Dave Chappelle said about the he said every black person in America should go as around the election, should go and register for a gun.

00:12:20:16 – 00:12:48:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Here’s they get one. Just register. Let’s put a little fear in them. Like, what do they got? Do they have it or not? I kind of I was a little funny, but I like what he was saying about that. Listen, in the book of Jeremiah, the show, you what it talks about making America great again, this is Jeremiah eight and 17 for behold, I will send serpents, cockatrice among you, which will not be chomp charm, and they shall bite you, saith the Lord.

00:12:48:17 – 00:13:08:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
When you on that list I just read off. That’s what body looks like when it comes to black people that look like me and you. When they want to make America great again, they want to kill every one of us. But the Koran teaches us and gives us comfort. It says that the enemy plans and all our plans and all our is.

00:13:08:12 – 00:13:28:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I’m going to say that again. Some of y’all have been practicing the song, the enemy plans and all our plans and all I is is the praise be to Allah. I y’all know the words. We just have to join him. But we we like a good singing group is called and response. Listen it is we are dealing with something now.

00:13:28:23 – 00:13:57:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
We’re trying to preserve our lives right now. Again, self-improvement is the first building block, preserving our own lives. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad gave us talks about some of the problems that we have. And, the proper handling of people, he said. The first problem was finance, right? The second one was domestic affairs or marriage. This the third one, affairs of the heart.

00:13:57:02 – 00:14:14:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But the fourth one was all of us. Grab onto this. Hold on to it is health. And yeah, now, right now we want to conclude the three day fast. I know some of y’all was like, look, I got my stuff. We got the car. I can’t wait to get out of here. But the beauty of the fast is yet.

00:14:14:27 – 00:14:38:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
It just reset our immune system. It cleaned our blood if we stayed the course, if all we had was coffee and water or tea and water, we are cleaned out on the inside. And you feel the difference? They got to you a little bit, you know, you grumble a little bit. But as the Honorable Louis Farrakhan taught us in, the great fast of Ramadan, he said, when your stomach talk to you, talk back.

00:14:38:29 – 00:15:05:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Not right now. And don’t give it anything. And the more we do that, the more we face that difficulty, the more we bring it into check, and the more we start to gain mastery over ourselves. And then we will no longer need, a messenger or a prophet. A god. We become that in obedience to the law that was given to us from Master Fard Muhammad, coming through the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and being represented.

00:15:05:16 – 00:15:29:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And an example before us in the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Brothers and sisters, we got the Jews. We got the best of everything right among us. We just have to hear and obey. Y’all are all right, family. Let’s move on. The Honorable Louis Farrakhan, he said to us, he said that, you know, God knows best how to direct our lives.

00:15:30:00 – 00:15:51:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
If you love yourself, extend your days. If you love your people, try to die. Try not to die young. And then he went on to tell us, he said, you know, old age is a curse. No, he literally he said, it’s a curse. You know, brother, what do you talk about? Everybody going to get up. Yeah, but not in a way that this world is doing it.

00:15:52:01 – 00:16:08:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that we can live as long as we want to. We should live as long as we want to and die, but we don’t have nothing else to do. What does that mean? What? I ain’t got nothing else to do. I mean, I’m almost dead. People say I’m almost 70 some years old. I’m 80 some years old.

00:16:08:14 – 00:16:30:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I’m nearer 100. I’m gonna go. But listen, if we follow this program, that is the set up by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. How they eat to live. Not only can we live to 100, but we won’t be falling apart. I just recently visited we. My wife and I visited, her. I, down in North Carolina, and she’s 105.

00:16:30:29 – 00:16:35:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And her my all praise is due to a lot and her mind is sharp.

00:16:35:13 – 00:16:37:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
She is sharp.

00:16:37:19 – 00:16:59:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I mean, you talk to her on the phone, you wouldn’t think you was talking to somebody that. Oh, but when you see her body, what this world has done to it, you know, she she needs help getting out of the chair. You know, she has to move around. But the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that through this program that he’s given us of how to eat, to live, we eat one meal a day fast, three days out of every month.

00:16:59:12 – 00:17:00:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.

00:17:00:06 – 00:17:00:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Sir?

00:17:00:22 – 00:17:20:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And think good thoughts. See that? Now that’s the that’s part that’s one caveat that we don’t always grasp thinking good thoughts. You know, we can eat. I mean I had an eight ounce piece of salmon. I had a big bowl of bean soup. I had the salad, I had a big salad, I had the whole wheat bread. I had the raw milk.

00:17:20:07 – 00:17:44:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh my, my John was on. But were it thinking, you know what, sister? Someone so you know, makes me sick, brother so-and-so, you hear about. Y’all know how we do. I’m just saying, if we don’t think the thought. What does Jesus say in the Bible as a man thinketh? Oh, a woman, so is he or she. So we think, right, we get right, all right.

00:17:44:20 – 00:18:04:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And that makes us act right. And then that prolongs our lives because bad thoughts. It’s like a disease in the brain. It eats away at the very cells of us. And then it starts to reflect in our face and our movement when we we might move, but we don’t have that agility. You know how it is. You know, a little shuffle here and there.

00:18:04:22 – 00:18:31:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I mean, you ain’t getting up with that women, that finger, you know, sliding through. You know, y’all y’all y’all see what I’m saying? You you know how we do. We get that dance on and stuff. Y’all all right. I’m just a little levity, but I’m saying the program that we are on that’s given to us by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad can cause us not only to live 100, but 200, 300, 400, 500, 600.

00:18:31:06 – 00:18:56:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that Master Fard Muhammad told him that our bodies can stay here for a thousand years. 1000 years? That’s a long time now. You’ve been here a thousand years. Hell, have you been here 300 years? You probably know just about everything there is to know where you’re coming up on it. And you say to yourself, you just seen birth and death and wealth, and you see the cycles repeating themselves over and over.

00:18:56:26 – 00:19:12:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And you say to yourself, you know what? I’m tired of this. I think I’m just gonna go to sleep. And then you’ve contributed to these cycles. As they came in. I remember here the Honorable Louis Farrakhan say just once he said, when I was a little boy in the 30s, he’s I used to see people literally crank their cars.

00:19:12:07 – 00:19:41:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You know what a crank it is, right? That’s why you take that thing that’s bent. You put it in front of the car and you turn it boom. And if he was up, he said, but now they got, you know, facial recognition, voice recognition. Those are the different cycles that he’s seen. And I remember just to add to that, Brother Russell, the son of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, before he lost his vision in mass number 12, he said, I told my father once, I said, I want to live to be 500.

00:19:41:02 – 00:19:57:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Let’s check out what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad response word. He said, brother, why would you wants to live that long when you already know what’s going to happen? So I never even thought of it like that. You already know what’s going to happen. I mean, you you’ve seen a rerun on television before, right? Have you seen it a couple of times.

00:19:57:25 – 00:20:18:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You want to see it no more? Well, that’s what life is when we can live that long. 103 two 304 hundred, 500, 600 years. Like the old patriarchs in the Bible, in Scripture. Well, Methuselah lived 900 plus years. Didn’t Adam live that long too, man? So how do we just live? Well, we’ve been on the planet that long.

00:20:18:19 – 00:20:35:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You said that the scientists that are on the planet, when they get ready to leave, you know how they kill themselves. They don’t commit suicide. They start eating like everybody else. Right? They start eating three meals a day and snacks in between. And then, even with the way their bodies have been trained, they don’t check out right away.

00:20:35:17 – 00:20:57:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
It’d be years even added on to that. But look at right now us finishing this fast. Do you know that if you don’t do it again for a long time, your body’s cells are already locked in to what we just did? And you continue to walk with that, that memory in us, it doesn’t disappear. But just think if we did it on a regular basis, how we could just increase the way we feel.

00:20:57:10 – 00:21:16:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You know how sometimes you go up to seven and we start hurting now, don’t raise your hand. Don’t eat, don’t smile, don’t smile. I don’t know who it is. I’m not going to look for you. You know what you need? Are you laying down the bed? Your shoulder start hurting you like what’s going on? Yeah, well, it’s because we’ve deviated from the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad as far as how to eat a live.

00:21:16:10 – 00:21:34:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You know, when we start back to eating donuts and bear claws and stuff like that, why chasing it down with their coffee, all that sugar in it. That’s what hurt us. No, it’s real talk for me. I’m just. I’m. I’m. No. We family. So that’s how we talk. But again, we came here to get something that can help us as we get outside.

00:21:34:24 – 00:21:49:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Because outside in the world, everything is out there now. The whole while, it seemed that I was, on the fast, people had all kind of food that was just smelling good. But, you know what? I didn’t have to leave their their their midst because I never told them I was going to fast. And that’s that’s the key.

00:21:49:13 – 00:22:02:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Don’t tell people you on the fast because they’ll do things to try to disrupt it, because they don’t believe nobody is that strong. They don’t know really. They don’t say, you know what, I’m a chicken. Your brother, I got, I got this, I got this hoagie man here. If you want half of it, I give it to you.

00:22:03:00 – 00:22:19:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
As a matter of fact, I was going to buy another one if you want the whole thing. No, brother, I don’t want no hoagie. If you knew what was in that bread, you wouldn’t be eating it. If you knew what was in that processed meat, you wouldn’t be right. Well, let me finish. Break this family real quick. I’m going to read this, and then we’re done.

00:22:19:03 – 00:22:41:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I’m, This is a this this is part of our reading on the, on Friday, it says this the honorable Louis Farrakhan talking to us. He said Jesus wanted to take you a step further. In fact, he wanted to give you your degree so that it would never be necessary for another man of God prophet, to come to you.

00:22:41:26 – 00:23:13:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
For you in your own life would be a witness of our Lord. God’s presence. And if our Lord God is present in your life, and being in your being manifested in your words and in your actions, then you have closed the door to prophethood by the fact of Allah, God’s presence in your life. We live in the time the man Jesus came 2000 years ago did not come in the time of redemption and salvation and healing, but we are at the right time now.

00:23:13:24 – 00:23:38:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I’m to say that one more time we are at the right time now, and a man has appeared in the world to redeem man, to reconcile man to God, to cause us to see and hear and know the will of our Lord God, and then inspire us willingly. Submit our will to do the will of Allah. Who that’s powerful family.

00:23:38:11 – 00:23:57:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s what we have in our midst today, coming from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. So if you want your will straight, keep coming up here in this life giving teaching. But right now, I want you to put your hands together, take out your pens and pads. I don’t know if we can record, but take guys. Depends on the pad, because here is a representative of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in the Delaware Valley region.

00:23:58:01 – 00:24:02:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
He is, hard working student, regional Minister Rodney Muhammad Brigham.

00:24:02:25 – 00:24:09:21
Unknown
Young with a lovely round of applause. All right.

00:24:09:24 – 00:24:11:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Assalamualaikum.

00:24:11:28 – 00:24:35:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the most merciful, the one God to whom praise is due. The Lord of the worlds, we thank Almighty God, the revealer of all truth, the center of our prophets, of whom we make no distinction. We thank him for all of his profits from Abraham to Muhammad, as students of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to life giving message.

00:24:35:06 – 00:25:03:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Though we are most thankful to allow for his intervention in our affairs in these last days, and the divine person of Master Fard Muhammad, to whom praise is due forever. We thank him for finding one worthy among us that he could pour himself into so that when he was gone, that man that he poured himself into, it would be like he never left a worthy servant.

00:25:03:25 – 00:25:44:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
In The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad described to us as the eternal leader of the Nation of Islam, an eternal leader. The reporters asked Mr. Muhammad, will your successor practice a new Islam? He said, I have no successor. I have no successor. Once a man comes to teach you in a way that he leads you into the face of God, what else can you do for a man after that?

00:25:44:24 – 00:25:55:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I have no successor. Well, I don’t the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan was his successor. No, he’s his extension.

00:25:55:17 – 00:25:58:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So I didn’t talk to you.

00:25:58:17 – 00:26:18:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Have you ever seen an extension cord on the lamp? Got a light, but it needs to be plugged into the power that gives light. But the cord on the lamp ain’t long enough. So they sell extension cords.

00:26:18:07 – 00:26:20:17
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Look as good.

00:26:20:19 – 00:26:49:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You can’t put the extension cord in the socket, and it’s not connected to nothing else. Nothing will happen, right? So it has to connect to the original cord to be plugged in to the power. And the light comes on. How do we know that Farrakhan is an extension? Because the nation went down and the light went out. It’s on now.

00:26:49:27 – 00:26:50:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yes, sir.

00:26:50:21 – 00:26:52:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.

00:26:53:00 – 00:27:32:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You don’t see Elijah Muhammad physically standing here, and we’re not just talking about an ordinary light. We’re talking about a light that made us get up again and go back to work to build this nation. If you ever think that the devil don’t have enough power to kill your spirit. He proved it in 1975. Roots. You couldn’t have stronger soldiers than we had from 1934 to 1975.

00:27:32:15 – 00:27:38:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because even without a deep understanding, they shook the powers of this world.

00:27:38:08 – 00:27:39:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.

00:27:39:15 – 00:27:48:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You know, we owe them a great deal of day. Gratitude for those people that believe.

00:27:48:23 – 00:28:09:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We need it. Self-improvement study course. Right. And the minister said if you had took the course like I asked you to do, you wouldn’t have needed Dianetics. At the time. Then we took Dianetics, and we still need help.

00:28:09:18 – 00:28:15:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And.

00:28:15:07 – 00:28:53:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And I was sitting with him at the dinner table. With Minister Troi, beyond who they tried to kill in Louisiana. A minister, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Brother. They call him TJ, but he was the first lieutenant. Help train our leader and teacher to day. And Minister Abdul Rahman Mohammed, may Allah always be pleased with him. But the minister said, you know, brothers, as if alive.

00:28:53:21 – 00:29:21:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We never needed Dianetics because we believed that the man that we were sitting with met with God. Right? He said we didn’t need anything other than that. We didn’t have to have no extra commentary, a nothing. We just went back to our cities with that. And the believers heard that, and that was all they needed to. And we went to work.

00:29:21:11 – 00:29:51:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So I thank the Lord for what the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad did, because his deep belief in this man that raised him, who he said he didn’t teach from the rostrum that God was going to judge the world. He talked from the rostrum. He was going to judge the world. He didn’t teach from the rostrum. We can expect God to pass judgment and destroy the world.

00:29:51:22 – 00:29:56:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said he was going to judge the world and destroy it.

00:29:57:01 – 00:30:05:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the Honorable Elijah Muhammad listened carefully. He said, this man is not waiting on a God.

00:30:05:20 – 00:30:12:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He is the God. My God.

00:30:12:11 – 00:30:51:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We have been waiting since 1931 for somebody to show us that he’s not an. And so I thank the Lord for the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, because he was everything that we needed. Now we got pretty sharp people among us. You don’t take what a tea cup of wisdom, and then we be trying to teach the teacher. So the person to look at us, trying to teach him, he said, well, if I’m not perfect, I’m perfect enough for you.

00:30:51:20 – 00:31:06:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you don’t have the intelligence, you’re not working with a knowledge. You certainly don’t have the wisdom that if I had a fault, you could find it.

00:31:11:08 – 00:31:14:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And now he has made a servant like himself.

00:31:14:09 – 00:31:16:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.

00:31:16:10 – 00:31:48:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
All he needed was submission. 100% belief 100%. You don’t need us to figure nothing out. He just need us to open up to what’s already been figured out. And, And then you get a man like Louis Farrakhan. So I’m thankful to Allah for this student, the apostle and servant. But he’s our leader, teacher, and guide. Sir, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

00:31:48:16 – 00:32:24:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yeah. I greet you and their names with the greeting words of peace again. And the language and tongue of our fathers. Salaam alaikum. Thank you all for being out. I want to take a few minutes to cover something and then we want to go into something and cover something. We are on a subject matter for the entire month entitled The Power of God in You.

00:32:24:10 – 00:33:01:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And the message was so important that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan directed us, who were in Chicago at that time, to sit out from our Sunday meetings and listen to him broadcast from the Palace, the House, the home of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He delivered three messages for three weeks called the Will of God, part one, two, and three.

00:33:01:17 – 00:33:44:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And so we started approaching this subject matter. Because the will of God is not something that’s secret to the public. People have heard about the will of God all their life, but it ain’t never been discussed like it’s discussed from our teacher. That’s why when Brother Joseph read from there, he’s trying to tell us if he’s taken serious as a teacher, which he can’t be unless you were a serious student, right?

00:33:44:28 – 00:34:15:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you learn the lesson well, you’ll never need another teacher. You. For somebody who has been under false teachers for over 400 years, we ought to want to be taught so we’d never have to try to figure out. Should we trust somebody else when we leave the classroom of God? The question shouldn’t be can I trust somebody else?

00:34:15:17 – 00:34:40:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You should be asking you. So can I trust myself as well? With what I’ve learned and what I’ve taken hold to. Because once someone has taught you wisdom at a supreme level, the minister said, it’s takes away all your excuses.

00:34:40:08 – 00:34:41:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And.

00:34:41:22 – 00:35:05:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You ever hear that? He said he held up supreme wisdom one day and said, this has taken away all your excuses. If you were failing in life, you can’t blame nobody else. And this is taken away. Our excuses.

00:35:05:14 – 00:35:42:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you’ve been around him, he said for a number of years and your life has not improved any, then you haven’t been connected with this God right question. Because God knows you can’t remain faithful for years on end, and no change ever comes to you. And then he demand that you stay in faith, so he has to show you that he’s with you,

00:35:42:11 – 00:35:43:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.

00:35:43:22 – 00:36:07:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
In other words, he can’t keep demanding of us worship. Belief, submission and faith. That’s why the Scripture says God is faithful, So when he calls us to faith, if you stay in faith, he’ll show you that he’s with you.

00:36:07:05 – 00:36:27:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So if you have been with this for any length of time, you should have seen some improvement that, and I’ve seen people say the light don’t work. I’ve been switching to the switch and they say, oh, it’s not locked up. You.

00:36:27:22 – 00:36:39:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Think I’ve been in this? My light ain’t on here. Something’s wrong with the moths. No. We found out you.

00:36:39:15 – 00:36:53:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Unplugged those guys. All right. This is our place, Yes, sir. Bring that.

00:36:53:05 – 00:36:57:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Bring.

00:36:57:29 – 00:37:11:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So plug up. Yes, yes. And if you plug up and no light. Come on. Because when light come, you can see who you are. Yes, right.

00:37:11:04 – 00:37:11:28
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, sir.

00:37:12:00 – 00:37:45:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You can see where you are, and you can see who you’re dealing with. And when I say who you are and where you are from, where you want to go, you can see what can help you get there, who can help you get there. But with light, you can see what won’t help you get there. And you can see who ain’t helping you to get there.

00:37:48:12 – 00:38:01:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So a quick review. The minister said everything in creation is a manifestation of the will of God.

00:38:01:12 – 00:38:06:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So.

00:38:06:02 – 00:38:26:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We have submitted ourselves to people who are not responsible for what has manifested for they themselves have to rely on the same son. Do you know?

00:38:26:18 – 00:38:52:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That 99.9% of all the energy that’s on Earth comes from the sun? Pekoe is an energy company, but they charge us a bill for energy. God now never charged us one red cent for the sun. Don’t think for a minute. You know.

00:38:52:25 – 00:39:12:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The earth. I don’t know what the percentage of the water was that was on the earth. Because the Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that 66 trillion years ago, an explosion brought about what he called the deportation of moon.

00:39:12:08 – 00:39:14:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.

00:39:14:07 – 00:39:18:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And before it went up there, it capsized.

00:39:18:05 – 00:39:19:12
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.

00:39:19:14 – 00:39:34:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And so the water that was on it came back here. Now the earth is three fourths water. This I was looking at my water bill the other day.

00:39:34:13 – 00:39:41:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You’re going to charge me really?

00:39:41:23 – 00:40:04:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See a man. Who’s been taught how to master the original man. He’s got to make himself in a way that when you think you always gotta consider him.

00:40:04:11 – 00:40:17:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because he’s put himself in control of. Not the sun and it’s light or the water that’s on the planet. He’s put himself in control of our access to it.

00:40:17:15 – 00:40:24:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You know.

00:40:24:28 – 00:40:33:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So God has a will right. And Satan has a will for.

00:40:33:02 – 00:40:42:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And God has a will. So teach us down about Minister Louis Farrakhan that.

00:40:42:03 – 00:41:02:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The original God did not want us to get out of his mind. So he created a book called Universe that’s in the old teachings in the temple universe came from uni. I singular verse.

00:41:03:00 – 00:41:04:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Spoke.

00:41:04:10 – 00:41:19:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I spoke to the God said, and he develops a book that we’re born out of. You could say we are the people of the book.

00:41:19:22 – 00:41:22:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because before there was a Bible.

00:41:22:02 – 00:41:24:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Or a Koran.

00:41:24:25 – 00:42:07:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We knew how to read creation. And you could read creation to know whether you were out of order or not. We, the ministers said the original people had checked, made power on. Checkmate is a is a phase in a game of chess that we said last week. Checkers is a game of opportunity. Somebody moved a piece, you see, where you can get a jump or a double jump or a triple jump, and maybe they didn’t see it, but you took advantage of what they overlook.

00:42:07:28 – 00:42:36:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But chess is different. You can’t play chess without thinking five moves ahead. And and trying to. And if I do this, they’re going to do that. And when they do that then I’ll be able to do this the block and then they will do that. So you’re thinking 4 or 5 moves ahead. If you can think 4 or 5 moves ahead in a game, how you think God can’t do that.

00:42:36:24 – 00:42:39:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And figure out what Satan was going to do.

00:42:40:02 – 00:42:41:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You know.

00:42:41:06 – 00:42:48:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
What his world would be like and what it would take to get us out of it.

00:42:48:19 – 00:42:52:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So.

00:42:52:29 – 00:43:36:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The universe, the Koran says every word of God is a creation. That means he spoke to bring things into existence by his will. Now people have talked about the will, but the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan helped us to define it. It’s the faculty of conscious and or deliberate action that’s active. That’s not by chance. And that’s why there’s no such thing as a coincidence.

00:43:36:29 – 00:44:13:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He’s in charge of everything and the universe thinks because it’s his mind. That’s why you can be in this. You can be in that. But if you tap into the universal mind, he’s not going to deny you what you can. So you can’t look outside the ranks and say they’re succeeding. Ain’t but one way to succeed. You gotta be plugged in to the real power,

00:44:13:17 – 00:44:22:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, he did he, master. He’s not a master. He’s originator.

00:44:22:21 – 00:44:38:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If he was a master, they would not have to be a call to make all things new. It would have been perfect in the beginning. The fact that a devil is here shows you something didn’t go right.

00:44:38:09 – 00:44:40:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right? That’s right.

00:44:40:28 – 00:45:08:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
A master is not an originator. A master is one who comes into that which he did not originate. But he can master it like he brought it into existence to take time. So he comes to perfect what the originator started. And he comes to perfect the originator.

00:45:08:08 – 00:45:18:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But he honors the originator for the origination of creation.

00:45:18:12 – 00:45:51:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He’s now. He’s the power behind it. So the minister says. He says be. And it is right. But he say be is not his will be is an expression of it right? Is is a present state of being. So between be I want something to be and it is. He first arranges forces.

00:45:51:03 – 00:46:09:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So there the white balance is in this universe, this strong force. Weak force, the electromagnetic force. And then gravity.

00:46:09:16 – 00:46:35:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So he’s gotta be able to control force. We figure strong force is love. Nothing is stronger in the universe than love. And the Bible says God is love. So is this, like, the equal sign that whatever’s on one side of it is equal to what’s on the other side of it? So if God is.

00:46:35:13 – 00:46:36:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Love, love.

00:46:36:16 – 00:46:37:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Is.

00:46:37:06 – 00:46:40:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
God. Look at that. Oh.

00:46:40:11 – 00:47:00:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But love seeks to fulfill itself, and love can’t fulfill itself unless it shares itself. Oh, yeah. That’s why we live unfulfilled lives. Because you want to be loved, but you don’t want to give it.

00:47:00:28 – 00:47:01:26
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Look at.

00:47:01:28 – 00:47:12:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But look what he does. That don’t make us bad people. I didn’t say that to make you feel bad. I said that that say sometimes something has happened to us and we don’t trust.

00:47:12:19 – 00:47:15:18
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on.

00:47:15:21 – 00:47:37:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But look what love is. It is God, and it can’t fulfill itself unless it shares itself. So God is love. So God seeks to fulfill himself, and he can’t fulfill himself unless he shares himself.

00:47:37:03 – 00:47:44:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So we are taught that in 1930, on July 4th, we found out he came to share himself.

00:47:45:01 – 00:47:45:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.

00:47:45:23 – 00:47:47:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We got he’s seeking.

00:47:47:06 – 00:47:47:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
To fulfill.

00:47:48:00 – 00:47:50:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Himself.

00:47:50:02 – 00:48:03:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
In man. And the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, he said to me, he will only accept himself in us.

00:48:03:07 – 00:48:41:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He wants to make us like him. We said, well, hell, he’s independent. He wants you to be independent. Well, he’s independent because he’s got power. He want you to have power. He found us powerless, and now he wants to empower us. So the minister says. The will of God is the power behind the creation, is the power behind the maintenance of creation that we were taught.

00:48:41:10 – 00:48:55:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Allah regulates the affair. And because he regulates the affair between heaven and earth, our body is designed in accord with that regulation.

00:48:55:28 – 00:48:56:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
The.

00:48:57:01 – 00:49:26:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the sun is 93 million miles from the Earth. All right. And the light of the sun is traveling at a terrific speed of 186,000 miles per second. It’s from 93 million miles hitting striking the Earth at the equator. You’re talking 500 seconds or 8 minutes and 20s. And according to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Savior taught him.

00:49:26:07 – 00:49:28:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Look at the circulation of our blood.

00:49:28:21 – 00:49:29:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on.

00:49:29:17 – 00:50:10:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It takes eight minutes and 20s to make a complete journey through the human form. And just like the sun gives life to the planets that are in the solar system, the minister said, the sun of our body is the brain. Ray, I think in is what can save us. So if we haven’t heard anything in the last 5 to 10 years from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, he said, be careful how you think the same.

00:50:10:22 – 00:50:20:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It used to be. Don’t gossip, don’t hang out and sympathize with hypocrites and all that. Now he’s talking about when you sitting by yourself, you know.

00:50:21:01 – 00:50:25:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
No praise.

00:50:25:07 – 00:50:33:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Go ahead. Have you ever had a lot of people mad at you and you said you can’t find one thing you did to him?

00:50:33:09 – 00:50:37:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So whatever is happening is going on in their mind.

00:50:37:03 – 00:50:38:15
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right, right and.

00:50:38:17 – 00:50:58:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Right. When he said the will is consciousness and the faculty of deliberate action, he said the will is the mind’s control over its own actions and the actions of the mind is how you.

00:50:58:29 – 00:51:01:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Think.

00:51:01:11 – 00:51:04:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Is teach.

00:51:04:09 – 00:51:20:04
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So we have a check procedure. When we are at the door. Why? Because the messenger said you can turn hypocrite overnight. How could something like that happen?

00:51:20:06 – 00:51:23:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Thinking.

00:51:24:27 – 00:51:44:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
A woman wrote him a cross letter because she read according to her, the How to eat two live books. One and two. Right? In her claim, she followed it to the letter, but didn’t feel better. He could tell by the.

00:51:44:07 – 00:51:46:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Letter that.

00:51:46:23 – 00:51:50:25
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You trying to eat to live. But you gotta think to live right?

00:51:50:27 – 00:51:51:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on, come on.

00:51:51:23 – 00:51:52:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You’re eating good.

00:51:52:18 – 00:51:55:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Food because I told you what food to eat.

00:51:55:06 – 00:52:00:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But you thinking bad thoughts.

00:52:00:24 – 00:52:07:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the rice and beans ain’t going to help you, Did I say something wrong there?

00:52:07:15 – 00:52:09:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You had to cut.

00:52:09:23 – 00:52:11:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The bean soup. Not going to help.

00:52:11:08 – 00:52:13:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You, right?

00:52:13:10 – 00:52:15:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When you’re thinking wrong.

00:52:16:01 – 00:52:18:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes, it matters.

00:52:19:01 – 00:52:47:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And if you go off course and the of, say, pushing him around in your mind with bad thoughts, what we don’t see is he said the first thing a lot does when you start taking that he takes the light from you. He said, so the person who has the light taken from them, he said, they don’t even realize it’s gone right.

00:52:48:00 – 00:52:53:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But you.

00:52:53:18 – 00:53:11:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See, Saul had the spirit of God. But once he disobeyed God, there’s a there’s a line in there that says. And the Spirit of God had left him, but he didn’t know it. Father Sampson was hooping. Everybody.

00:53:11:04 – 00:53:14:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on, come on.

00:53:14:19 – 00:53:40:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And each time he engage people in a victorious feet, the Bible says. And the spirit of the Lord was upon him, and he was filled with the spirit. And then he killed a thousand of them with the jawbone of an ass. Then he slew 30 minute Ascalon and took their spoils. But each time it said, the spirit of the Lord was upon him.

00:53:40:25 – 00:53:42:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But once he laid with Delilah.

00:53:42:28 – 00:53:45:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
In.

00:53:45:03 – 00:54:09:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And told her, A razor has never been to you. I ain’t never been to the barbershop. And then the Lord got a sacred covenant, and I’m telling you what it is. So she shaved his head. But it wasn’t the haircut that weakened him. The Bible says Samson did not know that the spirit of the Lord had left him.

00:54:09:26 – 00:54:41:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So when he went to engage the soldiers, he couldn’t overcome them like he did before. And so the ministers said, see, when you have victory, you connected with the original God of self that is in you. But you mistake. That victory as if it was yours alone.

00:54:41:04 – 00:55:03:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So when you act out of character with that God, that spirit leaves you, but you don’t know it. And the minister said, Soon God is going to present you with a situation that’s going to humble you. Yeah, look at that, he said. And once he humbles you, you’re going to find out it never was you at all.

00:55:04:01 – 00:55:06:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh, wait, real talk.

00:55:06:11 – 00:55:12:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because we’re part of the creation and the power behind us is the will of God.

00:55:13:02 – 00:55:17:18
Unknown
Are you following?

00:55:17:20 – 00:55:25:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We don’t have no power. Not like that. Right?

00:55:25:13 – 00:55:27:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So we have to be careful.

00:55:28:00 – 00:55:29:03
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.

00:55:29:05 – 00:55:49:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
How we handle it. And the minister says, when you lose humility, you cut off God’s plan of exaltation for you. He can’t work his plan of exaltation in you when you are arrogant.

00:55:49:24 – 00:55:50:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?

00:55:50:06 – 00:56:33:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Right. Filled with pride. And you know, pride goes before destruction. A Holy Spirit always precedes your fall. Yes. Okay, so when somebody says how then were they destroyed? How then did they fall? You can go back and check the record. They got proud. And the spirit got haughty and they lost humility as Brother Jabril said. How would a law create a man that can do the heavy work of lifting us out of our mental grave?

00:56:33:29 – 00:56:54:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said it would take on the part of that man and extraordinary and extraordinary level of humility. That’s what you have. And the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

00:56:54:16 – 00:56:58:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I can tell you.

00:56:58:07 – 00:57:01:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That.

00:57:01:25 – 00:57:23:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He’s given me instructions. But he ain’t never said, brother, I’m the leader. You do what I say, right? You know what he said to me? Do what you want to do. Right? Well, see, he ain’t taking no time trying to force nobody to do nothing. Okay? And you should.

00:57:23:20 – 00:57:24:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.

00:57:24:25 – 00:57:31:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So you shouldn’t be under him. Assuming that you got some power over a believer.

00:57:31:05 – 00:57:32:25
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Look. Look at that.

00:57:32:28 – 00:57:40:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You want to take the white man’s place over him. And your rule over the believer look just like his rule.

00:57:40:10 – 00:57:41:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Over, right?

00:57:41:17 – 00:57:51:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It don’t even look like we left slavery.

00:57:51:08 – 00:57:58:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The will of God is the power behind the sustenance. That’s the provision of the universe. All you gotta.

00:57:58:11 – 00:57:59:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Have.

00:57:59:13 – 00:58:03:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Is the idea. And the provision is out there.

00:58:04:04 – 00:58:08:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes. That.

00:58:08:21 – 00:58:10:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That.

00:58:10:06 – 00:58:16:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So then the minister said Allah’s will never fails.

00:58:16:28 – 00:58:18:23
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes. That’s right.

00:58:18:25 – 00:58:32:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It won’t fail us. And we were told, don’t ever let go of the gospel plow of Islam, Moses. Why? Because he’ll never fail us. He’ll never let us go. We have to let him go.

00:58:32:29 – 00:58:36:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Jesus, boy.

00:58:37:02 – 00:58:58:00
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See? Allah thinking way ahead. He knew what kind of man he would need. He knew what we would be in. The minister said he knew the father of this world and what he would make before they were even a thought.

00:58:58:02 – 00:59:02:12
Unknown
Oh, come on.

00:59:02:14 – 00:59:15:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So bye love. Fulfilling himself, God fulfilling himself, he’s put the depth of his knowledge and wisdom on the brain of a dead man and woman in North America.

00:59:15:12 – 00:59:17:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Good.

00:59:17:12 – 00:59:27:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Man. Yeah. So look, look very quickly what he says before we close.

00:59:27:03 – 01:00:09:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has taught us that the brain of man is infinite. Now, just think with me for a minute how the psychologists and the psychiatrists, social scientific thinkers all say, at best, we only use in 6% of our brain. So, so roughly, for most of us, 94% of our brain is going unutilized okay, what if we were using 65% of our brain?

01:00:09:24 – 01:00:30:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We probably could heal ourselves, right? You know what I mean? Whatever we see now, it’s the result of no more than 10% of brain power being used.

01:00:30:08 – 01:00:50:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So we need to be exposed to a, educational process and a teacher that know how to teach us to light up every cell that we got in that brain.

01:00:50:12 – 01:01:06:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I was reading once where the Honorable Elijah Muhammad had been teaching for hours. And he he said to the audience, when I was reading, you notice you’ve been listening to me for hours, but you have not gotten sleepy, right?

01:01:06:21 – 01:01:08:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right. Look at it. Well.

01:01:08:27 – 01:01:18:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And he said, he taught me how to say certain things that stimulate cells that you normally are not even using.

01:01:18:07 – 01:01:19:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Truth.

01:01:19:25 – 01:01:29:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Have you ever wondered how he could sit up and somebody is teaching them all night, all through the next day, nonstop and everything. And he didn’t fall asleep.

01:01:29:07 – 01:01:30:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Look at it.

01:01:30:07 – 01:01:39:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Now. His body was getting tired because he said, I, I was hoping he would stop for a while so I could get some rest because the body does get tired.

01:01:39:28 – 01:01:40:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
And.

01:01:40:16 – 01:02:09:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
See, the brain is God’s drugstore. Think about it. You you want to stay up, but the body’s tired. So the brain puts a combination of chemicals together and releases them in the body. And pretty soon you start stretching and yawning and you go to sleep. I go to sleep, and the scientists say there’s eight stages of sleep in.

01:02:09:09 – 01:02:27:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And there’s a place when you lie down in sleep that when you go into the deeper part of sleep, which only lasts maybe 45 minutes or an hour, it’s the real sleep that can replenish you, which is the purpose for that rest. They said the next stage is.

01:02:27:18 – 01:02:29:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Death.

01:02:29:12 – 01:02:29:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?

01:02:30:01 – 01:02:38:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So if you went any further, you’re not getting up on. See, there’s something to people saying, I thank God for waking me up the next day.

01:02:38:14 – 01:02:40:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?

01:02:40:02 – 01:03:02:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And getting me up. But you think about it. If you go on the streets in, man, I need something that can get me up and keep me from death. They ain’t got nothing like that out on the street. Ain’t a drug out there. You can get it. Big pharma don’t have it, but it’s in the drug store right up here.

01:03:02:08 – 01:03:05:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Sir.

01:03:05:04 – 01:03:33:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We were studying in the study guide how you can get an injury or cut. And initially you feel the pain and the sting from cutting yourself or something. But as the moments keep passing, you notice some of the pain subsides. Because it’s been communicated to the brain. And the ministers say it releases a combination of chemicals. It’s a it’s a pharmacy, right?

01:03:33:11 – 01:03:45:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You get an angel and it sends it out to the injured area. It may not get rid of all the pain. And there’s a pain there can come so great to protect the body. It puts itself in a state of shock.

01:03:45:13 – 01:03:47:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right? Right.

01:03:47:03 – 01:03:52:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The brain does all that. CBS can’t do that.

01:03:52:12 – 01:03:53:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Okay.

01:03:53:07 – 01:04:07:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Come on. Right. Done. Reorganize. They coming back. They ain’t right. They ain’t going to be of the age you are. Not with what I’m talking about.

01:04:07:03 – 01:04:17:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I’m talking like this because I want to consider. Because I had to just consider band what we got going for us.

01:04:17:18 – 01:04:18:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
No.

01:04:18:10 – 01:04:28:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Yes. And it’s hard to live in faith unless you step into an area.

01:04:28:20 – 01:04:30:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That you unsure about. Succeed in.

01:04:30:23 – 01:04:36:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
There. You do. Go ahead.

01:04:36:09 – 01:04:43:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If you only walk paths in life that you got covered, you can’t grow in faith.

01:04:43:13 – 01:04:45:20
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Or you might.

01:04:45:22 – 01:05:07:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When we were doing the meetings around the country, we got to New York City and the minister had a men’s meeting at the Armory, and he got up there and he was so fired up. And then he said, I want a million of you to meet me in Washington, DC.

01:05:07:18 – 01:05:31:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Then he thought about it. That meeting. He said, I wanted to call it back. I didn’t want to say something. Then he said, see the human part of us, it starts with doubt. Doubt is the devil’s food. Right? And he started thinking, well, maybe we we need two years of planning. Maybe you know what we had we had six months more.

01:05:31:15 – 01:05:34:07
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Oh, come on.

01:05:34:10 – 01:05:50:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And when I got on the plane and flew to Chicago and we were sitting there and the minister said, we got six months, first thing hit my mind. It took Jacob’s children six months to turn our civilization upside down.

01:05:50:19 – 01:06:04:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And, you know, sometimes if you’re just sitting there thinking, oh, I’m gonna get all this faith and I’m going to move out you, it never gets like that. 99% of the journey, you don’t even see the victory.

01:06:04:23 – 01:06:12:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But you keep going step by step. Are you following? And as you keep going, step by step, your faith is building.

01:06:12:19 – 01:06:14:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.

01:06:14:05 – 01:06:19:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
What you what you you you didn’t believe?

01:06:19:18 – 01:06:27:12
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
100% that you could pull some off. But if you keep walking each day more and more, it’s believable.

01:06:27:14 – 01:06:30:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
For us. It’s how hard work.

01:06:30:21 – 01:06:47:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It’s never going to be like that if you stay there. You want to build something else if you really want to do it right. Because he shared the power of will with us.

01:06:47:27 – 01:06:50:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.

01:06:50:02 – 01:07:08:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So that we could do like he does, envision something and say, be, and start arranging the force. The first force you got to arrange is your own faith, something you can’t hold on to unless you thinking. Right? Right.

01:07:08:15 – 01:07:14:08
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yeah. I’m.

01:07:14:10 – 01:07:20:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Well, let me call so-and-so and see what they think. That’s a mistake.

01:07:21:00 – 01:07:21:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Really?

01:07:21:11 – 01:07:26:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So if.

01:07:26:04 – 01:07:30:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If they could see it, he would have gave it to them.

01:07:30:26 – 01:07:36:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s where it is, right? Well, that was right.

01:07:36:07 – 01:07:49:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You know, in the Bible, when Mary was pregnant with Jesus, I think it’s the book of Luke. She went on a long journey because she said, I can’t talk to.

01:07:49:03 – 01:07:52:04
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Everybody about this.

01:07:52:07 – 01:08:18:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So why are you pregnant? With what? You how you think he’s going to do all that? What you know about the angel and told us something a mystery. See, the first thing we doing? Let me hook somebody up. You put it on the cell phone. We don’t have to dial no more. You know, we finished dialing. You know, I don’t know, 20 numbers now, but, you know, you start talking to somebody and somebody talks you out of.

01:08:18:12 – 01:08:21:22
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s right. Yeah. What? God didn’t promise to.

01:08:21:25 – 01:08:22:29
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Look at them.

01:08:23:02 – 01:08:38:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So the Bible says Mary bypassed everybody and and she got to her cousin Elizabeth. She says she’s always been a believing woman. I’ve talked to her about the we human. We want to talk to somebody.

01:08:38:09 – 01:08:40:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yeah, yeah.

01:08:40:08 – 01:09:11:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
She and the Bible says when when Elizabeth opened the door, a spirit in her sprang up from the child she was carrying, and she knew that Mary was carrying this divine child in this unknown. She talked to the right person. Jesus, so she wouldn’t be embracing the spirit of defeat.

01:09:11:17 – 01:09:13:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?

01:09:13:19 – 01:09:49:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
This is why in the white man’s world, they set up people called mastermind groups, and they only talk to each other because, you know, at the at the they say at the top level, this is the top 5% of the people on the planet, the people of the masses, they spend maybe 23 hours out a day, 24 hours a day talking about people is another group, you know, that, they talk about their aspirations and things.

01:09:49:16 – 01:10:03:19
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But this top level group, they only entertain ideas. They don’t have time to talk about other people and stuff. See, the soap operas are popular because there’s nothing the human being like better than to peer into somebody else’s life. Right?

01:10:03:24 – 01:10:05:06
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right.

01:10:05:09 – 01:10:33:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So all these little reality shows and things that they’ve sopping up a lot of people’s time and yet, you know, it’s just human. But, we’re talking about being above average now. That’s right. This God didn’t come the minister to say for us to do nothing. Well, how am I going to do something? He said, because I’m going to put what’s in me, in you through my teacher.

01:10:33:04 – 01:10:43:17
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So and if you just stay in the process, you’re going to grow in. That’s right. See. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So.

01:10:43:19 – 01:11:20:28
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The minister said the brain is infinite. He said, and I want you to think on it, that the brain of man is infinite. And if the brain of man is infinite, then man can bring into existence whatever he conceives in his mind. The repository for Allah. The place for God to dwell. He’s infinite in the brain of man.

01:11:21:01 – 01:11:41:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So this whole, guide of study started off with word. A letter that said what? Let this mind be in you know, the one that was in Christ Jesus.

01:11:41:13 – 01:11:57:07
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And when that kind of mind is in you that there’s power that comes with that level of thinking. So. So when the minister called for me in the meeting, we just went to work and 2 million showed up to.

01:11:57:10 – 01:11:59:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Jesus and.

01:11:59:15 – 01:12:40:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That was an act of faith. Yes. He was used to having an audience of 10,000, 15,000, even 20,000. But a million. And they came up, these demonstrations are to help us. To see the real power of God in us. There was a brother talking last night, and we were in Allentown, and I know he was saying, well, you know, the the ministers work is, you know, 95% of us out there working.

01:12:40:13 – 01:12:50:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But the minister had to disabuse us of that line of thinking. He said 90% of a minister’s work is teaching, right, because he’s got a he or she got to change your mind.

01:12:50:05 – 01:12:53:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right? Right. So real, real, real.

01:12:53:05 – 01:13:23:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If, if a person that’s in ministry spend day day doing what you do, whom you never get minister to come. The advantage of a pastor or a minister in any community is that while each of us is. And you know how what you gotta do every day before you know it, the sun is going down, You need at least one person in the community spending time with the Word of God that sometime we don’t have the time to do.

01:13:23:12 – 01:13:32:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If the ministers spends all his time with you doing, but then you’ll never get minister to see.

01:13:32:08 – 01:13:36:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So when.

01:13:36:03 – 01:13:43:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Minister Farrakhan was taken from the post of captain.

01:13:43:23 – 01:14:18:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
He said he spent 12 hours a day or more practicing his violin. Right. But the messenger had told him to give up music. So he took his level of, discipline with the violin into the ministry. And he spent 12 to 13 hours a day studying, and he taught every night. Now, if a man is is spending 13 hours a day, how much time he had to sell papers.

01:14:18:07 – 01:14:29:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And do everything else and feed his family and teach every night of the week. You added up because he he he couldn’t get any sleep.

01:14:29:25 – 01:14:36:27
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
But he does it.

01:14:36:29 – 01:14:42:08
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So,

01:14:42:10 – 01:14:56:01
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
The division of labor helps in the building of a nation per year. Now that doesn’t mean that people that teach don’t go in the street. Don’t get that twisted.

01:14:56:01 – 01:14:58:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Now.

01:14:58:22 – 01:15:06:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But once somebody goes into that area of service to the human being, it requires more time with God.

01:15:06:23 – 01:15:07:10
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.

01:15:07:13 – 01:15:29:23
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s right. That’s all. That’s all we’re saying? Yeah, we, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said this. He said, you who Minister, go in the street and get the people and fill your house up. And when the house is full, stay in the house so you can keep the ones you got. Go ahead and send the others out to get you more.

01:15:30:00 – 01:15:56:14
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That’s what the messenger said. And the messenger said, never be satisfied. Whatever you God, never be satisfied. Always have the mind. We need to get more. That’s right. Come on. I used to hear all the time, he said. My best followers are in the street and I saved them. What good are we? And I realize if you don’t think like that, you never go after no one else.

01:15:56:14 – 01:16:10:10
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You think God did his best when once he got you and you never go get nobody else to do it? No. If the best followers are in the street, it keeps my mind out there.

01:16:10:12 – 01:16:17:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
That this ain’t the best God can do. He can even do better. And let’s help him in that work to get.

01:16:17:02 – 01:16:18:01
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
More.

01:16:18:03 – 01:16:23:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So we can do better. You know.

01:16:23:19 – 01:16:32:13
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So there’s a lot that we want to go into the rest of this month. But I promised that we were going to be shorter today because we have another meeting we want to have.

01:16:32:13 – 01:16:35:13
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
So,

01:16:35:15 – 01:16:55:03
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
I pray that if you’re able to come out and be with us for the rest of this month, we got to talk about the power of God in us right? Come on. Wait. I’m really. This was never designed for few people to be successful in life.

01:16:55:04 – 01:16:55:16
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right.

01:16:55:22 – 01:16:58:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And everybody else stay the same.

01:16:58:17 – 01:17:04:22
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
The right.

01:17:04:24 – 01:17:09:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And we can’t. Stay a Negro.

01:17:09:18 – 01:17:13:11
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Preacher? No.

01:17:13:13 – 01:17:23:18
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
If if you with us any amount of time and you still a Negro, it ain’t your fault. It’s mine. Because I should never allow you to stay a Negro.

01:17:23:18 – 01:17:24:14
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Right?

01:17:24:17 – 01:17:31:15
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
When I say Negro, I mean depending on somebody else other than God.

01:17:31:17 – 01:17:51:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because I know if we rely on God, there’s this. There’s no chance of failure right? In our life. I used to think, you know, because they got us trained that way in this world, that success was getting more and.

01:17:51:27 – 01:18:01:11
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But really, success is becoming more right. And you know what happens when you become more you won’t settle for less.

01:18:01:14 – 01:18:03:00
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
That’s right. Fact. That’s right.

01:18:03:02 – 01:18:13:05
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And when you won’t settle for less, you know, you live with great expectations.

01:18:13:08 – 01:18:46:20
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And you have to learn how Mr. Muhammad taught us that the sun pulls on the waters of the earth, and it brings it up in a that which the naked eye can detect, creating currents and a and a midst that makes for the atmosphere so that you have your own atmosphere. Yes, sir. Just like the minister told us, I function out of the atmosphere that I travel in.

01:18:46:25 – 01:18:51:09
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
You look at it, I don’t travel.

01:18:51:11 – 01:18:58:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
In it because if you let other people get into your atmosphere, come on there. Bring a.

01:18:58:16 – 01:19:05:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Storm. Yeah. That’s right. When you were at peace.

01:19:05:27 – 01:19:09:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So you not only got to learn how to walk in your own atmosphere, you gotta.

01:19:09:29 – 01:19:10:19
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Protect.

01:19:10:19 – 01:19:20:21
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
It.

01:19:20:23 – 01:19:30:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So I thank you for listening. I salaam alaikum. Oh. Praise is due to a lot.

01:19:30:04 – 01:19:47:06
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
So I don’t know if anyone’s out for the first time or second time of that. If. If we could see your hands up. Anyone never been out with us before? We always want to ask if you out for your first, second, third or fourth time. Well, how do you feel that what you’re hearing is the truth and good for us as a people?

01:19:47:06 – 01:20:16:29
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Can I just see by a show of hands all praises. Due to Allah, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has extended himself for years on in offering us the invitation to come to Islam. That’s an Arabic word that just means submission to the will of God. I mean, and it’s a broad term because anyone that’s doing that, submitting to his will, you considered the righteous of the Earth.

01:20:17:01 – 01:20:23:26
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
But we’re taught this is the nature we were created in. That’s right. So we can’t even join this.

01:20:23:28 – 01:20:25:21
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Come on.

01:20:25:24 – 01:20:31:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
You can’t join what you already created, right? But you can accept it.

01:20:31:18 – 01:20:32:05
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
Yes.

01:20:32:08 – 01:20:53:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Because it has been kept from us. So if there’s anyone that wants to accept this now, to come on into our family and learn more about yourself, because that’s really what this is a journey to learn about ourselves. This is this is the time to do it. This is the time to do it. Because we are your brothers and sisters.

01:20:53:19 – 01:21:23:02
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
We fought hard to get that term circulating among our people. I mean, we didn’t accept that. Black America didn’t accept that when we started. That brother and sister talk. We ain’t got the same mama. You know, you didn’t grow up in the house with me. Don’t be calling me your brother or your sister or son. Now, all black people say it just like the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, if if we don’t do nothing else, we going to get all our people to call each other brother and sister.

01:21:23:05 – 01:21:24:02
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
In the room.

01:21:24:04 – 01:21:49:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And when we were out on the tour, we got some of the brothers, the young brothers out there to salute, come on and call themselves brothers. Yes, yes. And it comes so easier to us now. You. So we thank those believers that, you know, pioneered that term out into the streets, in the ghettos, of the United States of America.

01:21:49:27 – 01:22:12:27
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Okay. So what we want to do family when work is really a seed. Sometimes it’s hard for people to see it that way, but it’s a seed. So whatever we can give is deeply appreciated here. And,

01:22:13:00 – 01:22:32:24
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
And we want to thank the believers. Allentown. Last night they had a wonderful dinner and that we were we were there last night, Brother Lemon, sister Taylor and the crew, they doing a wonderful, wonderful job up there. And we’re thankful to Allah for them and all of the staff that’s up there.

01:22:33:28 – 01:23:02:09
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
Doing a great, great work. And we saw them, of course. Wednesday night, they number one in the Nation of Islam bringing guest out number one study group in the Nation of Islam. Bring it out. Guest. So it makes our region proud and hopefully it, it it puts fire in every house in the Delaware Valley. We got to we got to get up and do better.

01:23:02:11 – 01:23:23:16
Student Minister Rodney Muhammad
All praise is due to Allah. So, brother Joseph’s going to close us out in prayer, but we do have dinners downstairs. I think the food is in. So if you want to get that first, we’re going to reconvene here. We’re trying to get out of here early. That’s why we finished early here. Okay. All right, so, Brother Joseph, thank you, sir.

The alone do we serve, and the alone do we beseech for aid or Allah guide us on the street that the path of those upon whom those bestowed favors, and not the path of those upon whom thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray? After hearing that teaching say he allies, when Allah is he upon whom we all depend, he neither beget nor keep God, and there’s none like him.

01:26:23:08 – 01:26:40:24
Student In The Ministry Joseph Muhammad
I bear witness that none deserves to be served, to worship the size of Allah, who appear to us in the person of Master Farad Muhammad. We’re eternally grateful to him that after three years and four months, he gave to us his wise choice in the Messenger of Messiah, the exalted, the risen and living Christ, in the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
