"You do right, because it is right to do right" "You must love ultimately, because it is lovely to love" "You must be just, because it is right to be just" "You must be honest, because it is right to be honest"
If only we had leadership like the kind that Dr. King gave us, this world would be a lot closer to way the Creator intended it to be. Do you think Dr. King is an easy life to emulate? I’d answer absolutely. Since our tragic loss of Dr. King, there has yet to be another come close to the example he set for us. I believe Dr. King had conquered himself (the flesh) and we lack leaders today in America that have truly conquered themselves. Instead of selfless leadership, we have selfish leadership. Instead of leadership that unites ALL people, we have leadership that divides us from our fellow brethren. Our nation longs for good, Godly men to lead. We have to be the change we wish to see. We must become the good & Godly leader for ourselves & our families. God Bless.
It’s like a breathe of clean air for the soul to hear such sanity and wisdom, matched by actions, crowned by the supreme sacrifice. We are a blessed nation to have this voice preserved for us.
I’ve seen the lightning flashing, And heard the thunder roll, I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing, Trying to conquer my soul; I’ve heard the voice of my Savior, Telling me still to fight on, He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone.
The comments on this sermon warm my heart. In God, love and truth is the tie that binds. Division is not caused by things that divide the world. I love my Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
I have listened to this amazing sermon so many times of the last 10 years, when I need strength and a reminder that I must always do the right thing. Thank you for sharing this.
As a non-religious person but a person that studied the ways of discourse in college this is truly, truly a piece of art. From the way it was written to the way it was said. MLK is one of the people that understood what it takes to be a speaker and the importance of doing so. The way he says “because” multiple times during the speech, with the intonation changing so drastically is just so well done. A speaker of this caliber is only born every generation or so.
Sherry, what King is saying by using the example of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego is that it's worth it to stand with God and die for what you believe in. If there were more Dr. Martin Luther King's then there would be a lot less poverty, racial inequality, and racial impediments because those people would challenge the laws and the culture that accepts the inadequacies of our people and practices white privilege with impunity.
+Defforest Robinson You right Robinson. He tells it straight up! Litsening to King preach bruh, feels like I was right there men, seated on that pew back in 1962
'God' is a title bro. All gods have a name. The God of the Hebrew boys who he speaking of who didn't bow to the first Babylonian king is Yah! The God of our fathers.
@@marvingayle9427 God has many names, when we say “God” with a capital G it’s one of his names, Elgibor is another or “Mighty God”, there’s also Elohim “The God” or “The Living God”, Ego eimi “I am”
Martin Luther King was the greatest orator of our time, blessed and called by God for this very purpose, the deliverance of a people. i'm encouraged by this sermon right now in my personal life, looking for more church sermons by MLK; thankyou for posting.
@@Jazminfields I dont know where you got that from, but it is not true. If you are willing to back your claim, then please, post some facts that support it. But since you dont have any, how about you stop being a dunce?
Thats what impresses me most about him. More than his oratorical ability, and civil rights activism, I am enamored by his penetrating critical thinking ability
2 Words: Economic Equality. That's why Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was killed for. He wasn't killed for no other reason. Civil Rights was signed years before his death. However, when the "Banksters (Rothschild, J P Morgan and etc)" seen that he was starting to challenge them and warn " WE THE PEOPLE" about how the Federal Reserve was ripping the people off, and how it was making 2 Americas, "A Prosperous America" and "The Other America" they killed him. They also killed John F. Kennedy for the same reason. Who signed an Executive Order that allowed America to print it's own currency to depart from the Federal Reserve. After they killed him his successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, reversed it. Yes, in order to change the country and the sentiment of racism and the laws that covertly cover them up we have to challenge the government that made the laws in the first place, concurrently being disliked by people all at once. I'm sure there where people who nudged Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and told them to just bow. It's not worth it. There were people who called them crazy. There were people who wanted nothing to do with them. However, they understood the power of "OUR GOD" and had a "THOUGH FAITH" that defeated the enemy. I tried to make this short but I have so much to say. But how did we get like this today? Where we refuse to challenge the government about things that are ailing our people today and establishes laws that line up with the will of "OUR GOD"? From the mentality of people who made speeches like this to leadership that accepts and is totally okay with the status quo? Is 501C3 that important to the pastors today to not enforce GOD'S WILL on our government? The 501C3 was signed by LBJ too. SMH Take a stand!! Jesus First!!!!!
He is God's vessel....u can hear the anointing in his words, his voice.....absolutely breathtaking.....Arguably the greatest speaker that ever lived....U have so much POWER in your words.. H
I learn so much from this man. He is the most inspiring minister I have ever listened to. I found something so dear and precious to me, civil rights for people who have disabilities and are segregated and discriminated against in public schools. My son was placed in total segregation when he entered high school in Cody wy. We will not stop fighting and praying for his rights to education.
His calling to the pulpit is the DEAL. Preach. All the rest is amazing grace. This man owned the pulpit and that was the job the good Lord truly gave him. Reverend, we hear you!!
I love MLK because of his leadership in the 50's and 60's He was the most powerful preacher of all time. I believe because he was right in the front line of what he was speaking on.
Our God is able to deliver us . But if he don't I will still stand on this solid rock of Jesus Christ. Love everyone and the fact hat whoever posted this video is doin a work of God this is a divine opportunity.
One of my favorite Books of the Bible (Daniel) and how the Very loyal men of God rather burn than bow before any Image or idol It speaks today to our loyalty or just going along to not Stand on Truth, Stand for God They rather be thrown in the furnace And were but.............
every now and then i hear his voice and in accordance to his faith in GOD,the more i feel to continue where He left even here in Zambia.The problems faced and tackled by The Rev.DR MARTIN LUTHER KING JR are no different even today.We now have modernised problems which needs men and women with the spirit of DR KING,THE THREE HEBREW BOYS,THE PROPHETS OF GOD IN THE OLDEN TIMES,who fear nothing but GOD alone.We are still in need of Civil rights activists and Southern christian leadership conferences (SCLC).WE STILL NEED HIS COURAGE again and AGAIN
Well he used lots of God’s foundation in his civil rights speeches, the reason why we don’t here those speeches is because we live in a nation that lusts after a secular worldview that hates God and doesn’t want God, they want to form their own destiny and rebel in the process. They want the people to be the ultimate authority not God. MLK was one of our brothers that used God’s foundation to destroy an idol, God worked through him to burn down a tribalism idol
@@tyronnfields7945 why do you bring politics to religion? Keep that out, if you make tribalism within the church you shouldn’t be following, repent bro, because we only come from two humans of wrath, we didn’t come from political parties nor do we come from colors of people. Deny yourself and pick up your cross and follow him. Not a political party nor a politician. All I can say is if you serve anyone that disobeys one thing of God says to obey you’re taking part in disobedience. Our brother MLK was a great brother, used God’s word and foundation to destroy discrimination and segregation, not a race, not a creed. We are here to do one thing, that’s to establish God’s law and teach the ones that are disobedient to God to obey his word and laws.
I went to Ebenzer Church yesterday with my High School marching band as we were on our yearly band trip out of state to preform. At this church we visited the museum. Once we got into the sanctuary I didn't want to leave. It was really relaxing to his voice..
As a recently converted Christian (7 months) I will often feel like giving up during a time in which it is hard to have faith. Now, Martin Luther King, Jr. has always been someone I held in high regard, but as a follower of Christ he continues to encourage me more and more as the challenges I face are more and more difficult. Today, on his day of remembrance, may we vow to never allow the United States to be as corrupt as it once was. And as followers of Christ, let's have "although" faiths.
Listening today, after yesterday's "but if not" moment. God is able to deliver us, but if not, we will keep on. We will keep our faith in Him. Not in a man or a government that has two systems of justice. We will keep on. We will keep fighting for equality. Climb the mountain.
I've never been one hundred percent sure about God. Some days I felt more sure God wasn't real than not. And I'm not going to say this sermon changed my mind. But I listened to King talk about a "though" faith, and it resonates with me. I decided a while ago that if I was going to believe in something, it was the inherent, intrinsic value of a human life. Of believing that while acts can damn, no human can be less than human for any reason. And I hear him talk about that faith, and it RINGS in my heart. Would I stand for that belief in the face of all adversity? If I was prosecuted, persecuted? If I was hurt, or jailed, or threatened with death? Damn well I would. That is my faith. My faith in the human life, the human spirit. And while we might not be eye to eye on theology, I thank Dr. King from the bottom of my heart, for putting into those powerful words what I needed to hear.
By this talk, I can't even say that He's Christian✝️ ✡️✝ Acts 4:12 "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." ✝️✝ John 3:3 "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
A most wonderful speech, moving, and the most powerful speaker of all time. Beloved Martin, the prophet of the poor and the spirit of peace tempered with the power of love. Through the holy spirit of all goodness he worked for all equally and through the majesty of Christ delivered many from darkness in a very dark time indeed. We NEED a speaker like you now. I pray it be so. For we need you Martin. We need you now and again.
what a great mind, I can't stop listening to his speeches. I wasn't born when he was alive but I feel like I was alive whenever I listen to his speeches. which he was still alive. he was the real civil rights fighter not like some we have today.
Good always trumps bad.I constantly say that now I know why . Civil disobedience You have got to be willing to stand for what is right. This message helped me to understand why I think the way I do as a child Dr King was held to the highest esteem ,he truly was a Man of God .
If faith is no good. Though faith is better because it makes you stronger. I had the though faith last year when I left Japan ripped off was left almost penniless. And that made me stronger when I got a new job here in Korea. Praise God.
Wanted to play one of his videos in the school I work during Black history month . Was told that there was too much religion in this speech. For people especially in the left side of the political spectrum they don't understand that MLK's faith was so important to the make up of him as a leader. Without his faith in Jesus I don't think he could have accomplished what he did through out his life.
I agree, it is only because of his faith in Jesus that He could accomplish what he did. As he said in this sermon “one with God is a majority”. It’s such a shame that the world has turned it’s back on God to the extent that it is no longer allowed to show things like this in schools. You just need to look at the Black Lives Matter organisation, it is nothing like the non-violent protests and civil disobedience that Martin Luther King was part of. We need to pray that the world will turn back to God and then they will understand.
s.m. lock ridge and this man are so awesome .. God blessed these men and forever we are blessed with these testimonies of how God moved through these men and preached beautiful sermons.. May the Lord move thru each and everyone listening .. Amen brother preach it
The fact that this message spoke to me all these years later speals volumes. I examined my faith in Jesus and discovered that like Abraham I too had "if faith" but through the years it transformed to "though faith". Though life isn't a bed of roses I will take up my cross and follpw my Savior! Thank God that He sent us Rev/Dr King! I hope he gets an extra jewel in his heavenly crown for this awesome and life changing message! I know it encouraged other weary souls like me.
This was no doubt the powerful voice of God speaking through this great man. It shakes your soul to core with enlightening thunder, it provokes your intellect and illuminates your moral path and defines your divine purpose and obligations as a human being. ✨.
One of the great orators of all time; a great human being, and a hero to many! Hard to believe that there's one person out there that dislikes this sermon.
"There are times when a man made law is out of harmony with the moral law of the university. There are times when human laws are out of harmony with eternal and divine laws. And when that happens you have an obligation to break it. And I am happy that I have good company. I have Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego."
this sermon touched me to the very core. i thank God for this great man, and people like him. it seams in churches today if a person goes to jail for whatever reason the people, atleast many like to judge.i would happily give my life if God called me to do something that needed to be done, because as we all know the law isn't always God's law. praises to the one and only almighty God
This sermon then is hauntingly beautiful today for the church on earth with what is ahead for America today. I'm so glad it hasn't been scrubbed out of history.
I have listened to several of his sermons this year and I have heard him preach freedom coming from breaking away from British Colony Rule and China. Every thing I hear is what he already warned US about! Stand Up for Freedom Brothers and Sisters in Jesus name. Amen.
There exist a problem or rather a disconnection lack of comprehending. Perhaps even mix or missed signal of communication. Between yesterday and today's rearing of children for the future.
Gods ways is above mans ways as the heavens are above the earth and his thoughts are not our thoughts and his ways are not our ways. For man is like the grass of the field we are here today and cut down tomorrow. Blessed be my God who lives forever I shall put my trust in you O mighty God. Thou are worthy O God blessed be thy name my rock and my salvation.
There is a maturity and seriousness in mlk's generation that we should appreciate, a Godly innocence that he exuberated. God help us to remember that innocence and keep it for all generations to come. Thank God for Pastor and Elder Martin Luther King. May equally God bless his family and those encountered. Thank you Lord for your Grace,
We still have men of integrity, principles, and that are dying right now for their Stand on justice and peace, but the corporate media would never let you see them.
203 people have a serious problem to thumb down such a great solution to life's problems today! 23 minutes of wisdom yes thank you I'll take them🌷 I will continue to be obedient to "A Higher Law"🌷
I felt Gods strength within him. His courage in the face of fear caused evil to kill him but like he said though he's only 38 he has live past 90 because he's found something so precious. We all must find Jesus! Then fight righteously with love. There's no fear in love. Thank you so much MLK for your actions with your words. I must fight on
but also can we appreciate that this is not a reconstruction of Kings voice, or someone reading a great long lost manuscript. this is THE KINGS voice. his actual, true, one and only, magnificent voice. every tremble, every roar, every perfectly orchestrated piece of silence. this is him.
"You do right, because it is right to do right"
"You must love ultimately, because it is lovely to love"
"You must be just, because it is right to be just"
"You must be honest, because it is right to be honest"
I thank God that I lived in a time where my ears could hear such a word from such a prolific man of God!
To rejuvenate myself I listen to the sermons of Martin Luther King.
Arul raj....I do the same...often on my way to work also.
god bless America but he died
Same here sir!
I too when I need to get real with myself I listen to Dr.King he gave everything he had for peace and equality, your dream lives on
Yessir!!!
I would do anything to be in your Congregation just one time. Martin Luther King, you are a prophet of God. Your legacy lives on, my brother.
Me too ;-) ;-) ;-)

There so much work left to be done. His job is not finish although his assignment and his purpose to all Americans is not in vain.
If only we had leadership like the kind that Dr. King gave us, this world would be a lot closer to way the Creator intended it to be.
Do you think Dr. King is an easy life to emulate?
I’d answer absolutely. Since our tragic loss of Dr. King, there has yet to be another come close to the example he set for us.
I believe Dr. King had conquered himself (the flesh) and we lack leaders today in America that have truly conquered themselves. Instead of selfless leadership, we have selfish leadership. Instead of leadership that unites ALL people, we have leadership that divides us from our fellow brethren. Our nation longs for good, Godly men to lead. We have to be the change we wish to see. We must become the good & Godly leader for ourselves & our families. God Bless.
Very Well Said
We do!!!
God Bless you us and "them" thank you and thank you MLK
“One with God is the majority”.
Amen!
Amen & Amen.
Amen
It’s like a breathe of clean air for the soul to hear such sanity and wisdom, matched by actions, crowned by the supreme sacrifice. We are a blessed nation to have this voice preserved for us.
I needed a word today, and I by chance turned to this sermon. Thank You Lord for hearing the longing of my heart
Hang in there my brother. You are in the fight with us. No matter how it looks...Faith is the victor.
I’ve seen the lightning flashing,
And heard the thunder roll,
I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing,
Trying to conquer my soul;
I’ve heard the voice of my Savior,
Telling me still to fight on,
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.
I AM NOT ALONE
❤
Internally
I choose Love
Amen

If there were a million more, there would be a more level playing field in America and a more equal economic solution than the current status quo.

Andrae Walker Hhhhhh. Hhhhhh. Hhhhhhh
How can one fail to call this great preacher a true prophet
By this talk, I can't even say that He's Christian✝️
✡️✝ Acts 4:12
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
✝️✝ John 3:3
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
Christians and ministers will change the world. Mr King we could use you now.
A most wonderful speech, moving, and the most powerful speaker of all time. Beloved Martin, the prophet of the poor and the spirit of peace tempered with the power of love. Through the holy spirit of all goodness he worked for all equally and through the majesty of Christ delivered many from darkness in a very dark time indeed. We NEED a speaker like you now. I pray it be so. For we need you Martin. We need you now and again.
This is still relevant today
what a great mind, I can't stop listening to his speeches. I wasn't born when he was alive but I feel like I was alive whenever I listen to his speeches. which he was still alive. he was the real civil rights fighter not like some we have today.
Good always trumps bad.I constantly say that now I know why . Civil disobedience You have got to be willing to stand for what is right. This message helped me to understand why I think the way I do as a child Dr King was held to the highest esteem ,he truly was a Man of God .
These man was un replace under the sun..........
The world itself woulod be so much better off. I thank Austin for this post.
If faith is no good. Though faith is better because it makes you stronger.
I had the though faith last year when I left Japan ripped off was left almost penniless. And that made me stronger when I got a new job here in Korea. Praise God.
Noone is perfect, they are gifted! 😍😊
This is church for me. We are all in His flesh. Praise Him and the Lamb.
Wanted to play one of his videos in the school I work during Black history month . Was told that there was too much religion in this speech. For people especially in the left side of the political spectrum they don't understand that MLK's faith was so important to the make up of him as a leader. Without his faith in Jesus I don't think he could have accomplished what he did through out his life.
It’s just too bad because the left isn’t wrong. This IS his religion. But you’re so right, that’s what it’s all about!
I agree, it is only because of his faith in Jesus that He could accomplish what he did. As he said in this sermon “one with God is a majority”. It’s such a shame that the world has turned it’s back on God to the extent that it is no longer allowed to show things like this in schools. You just need to look at the Black Lives Matter organisation, it is nothing like the non-violent protests and civil disobedience that Martin Luther King was part of. We need to pray that the world will turn back to God and then they will understand.
s.m. lock ridge and this man are so awesome .. God blessed these men and forever we are blessed with these testimonies of how God moved through these men and preached beautiful sermons.. May the Lord move thru each and everyone listening .. Amen brother preach it
The fact that this message spoke to me all these years later speals volumes. I examined my faith in Jesus and discovered that like Abraham I too had "if faith" but through the years it transformed to "though faith". Though life isn't a bed of roses I will take up my cross and follpw my Savior! Thank God that He sent us Rev/Dr King! I hope he gets an extra jewel in his heavenly crown for this awesome and life changing message! I know it encouraged other weary souls like me.
props to the crowd for those amazing adlibs
This was no doubt the powerful voice of God speaking through this great man. It shakes your soul to core with enlightening thunder, it provokes your intellect and illuminates your moral path and defines your divine purpose and obligations as a human being. ✨.
beautifully said.
This guys was the 'real deal'! So genuine; not only did he have a message, he was the message. Praise for him.
One of the great orators of all time; a great human being, and a hero to many! Hard to believe that there's one person out there that dislikes this sermon.
Mypa
Though he is gone, this very message stands the test of time and still very much useful in this very time. This is owesome.
"There are times when a man made law is out of harmony with the moral law of the university. There are times when human laws are out of harmony with eternal and divine laws. And when that happens you have an obligation to break it. And I am happy that I have good company. I have Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego."
2024 Reminder:
Keep your eyes on the Lord Jesus
I believe to see the goodness of God in the land of the living 12.8.24
2025✝️ still here by Grace and Mercy
Thankful for it all 1.15.25
Happy Birthday to Dr. King🏆
this sermon touched me to the very core. i thank God for this great man, and people like him. it seams in churches today if a person goes to jail for whatever reason the people, atleast many like to judge.i would happily give my life if God called me to do something that needed to be done, because as we all know the law isn't always God's law. praises to the one and only almighty God
This sermon then is hauntingly beautiful today for the church on earth with what is ahead for America today. I'm so glad it hasn't been scrubbed out of history.
Good Word!
I have listened to several of his sermons this year and I have heard him preach freedom coming from breaking away from British Colony Rule and China. Every thing I hear is what he already warned US about! Stand Up for Freedom Brothers and Sisters in Jesus name. Amen.
Thank you for sharing
Now is the time to reflect and be motivated to moving forward , a people we are losing
There exist a problem or rather a disconnection lack of comprehending. Perhaps even mix or missed signal of communication. Between yesterday and today's rearing of children for the future.
Gods ways is above mans ways as the heavens are above the earth and his thoughts are not our thoughts and his ways are not our ways. For man is like the grass of the field we are here today and cut down tomorrow. Blessed be my God who lives forever I shall put my trust in you O mighty God. Thou are worthy O God blessed be thy name my rock and my salvation.
I miss you with all my heart and pray that your message will never die and it hasn't and wouldn't.
What a powerful speaker, truly a gifted man.
I will be a member of his church this man was speaking truth.
There is a maturity and seriousness in mlk's generation that we should appreciate, a Godly innocence that he exuberated. God help us to remember that innocence and keep it for all generations to come. Thank God for Pastor and Elder Martin Luther King. May equally God bless his family and those encountered.
Thank you Lord for your Grace,
Yes!!! Love it!!!
Thank you heavenly Father for Martin L. king, Jr.
This sermon is more truer today than when this hero of the faith delivered it.
We still have men of integrity, principles, and that are dying right now for their Stand on justice and peace, but the corporate media would never let you see them.
I love this sermon and feel every word of it!
I will do right because it’s right to do right!
I will not bow, I have a commitment to my conscience!
If you have a few minutes..I love you bro...and Happy New Year 🙏🏾
203 people have a serious problem to thumb down such a great solution to life's problems today!
23 minutes of wisdom yes thank you I'll take them🌷
I will continue to be obedient to "A Higher Law"🌷
I felt Gods strength within him. His courage in the face of fear caused evil to kill him but like he said though he's only 38 he has live past 90 because he's found something so precious. We all must find Jesus! Then fight righteously with love. There's no fear in love. Thank you so much MLK for your actions with your words. I must fight on
Good Lord, what a powerful man of God💪🏾❤️🙏🏾
I didn't go to church today and I promised God and I felt bad so this is my church
It counts in the bible the temple of God is within man
same
Can't trust churches
Bless you dad
Amennnn! Obedient instead to what he knows as the higher law. ❤
but also can we appreciate that this is not a reconstruction of Kings voice, or someone reading a great long lost manuscript.
this is THE KINGS voice. his actual, true, one and only, magnificent voice. every tremble, every roar, every perfectly orchestrated piece of silence. this is him.
Amazing food for thought .
Still inspiring today!! Thank you DR KING!
