- čas přidán 1. 04. 2018
- King's "Drum Major Instinct" sermon, given on 4 February 1968, was an adaptation of the 1952 homily ''Drum-Major Instincts'' by J. Wallace Hamilton.
King encouraged his congregation to seek greatness, but to do so through service and love. King concluded the sermon by imagining his own funeral, downplaying his famous achievements and emphasizing his heart to do right.

This generation of young people need to read or listen to Martin Luther King drum major instrument this is powerful amen 2023😊❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
They are more interested in identifying themselves with another sex, in abortion, in political correctness. The evil generation is waking up!
People can say whatever they want about Martin Luther King Jr but they can't argue that he was a great man of God.
King was boule and preached false teachings.....
Every man is flawed, but his oratorical skills are only rivaled by malcolm himself .
@NathanAHogan and yet yeah are without a single solitary flaw
@@user-hc5ne8gw1gHe denied the trinity, denied the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, plagiarized his thesis papers and sold his soul to his greek god by pledging in 3 fraternities.
@@NathanAHogan❤😅
This Man can Truly say His Life Had PURPOSE!
Had purpose without Jesus.....
My favorite sermon by MLK.
Dr King is my mentor. I am a physician and when I take care of patients, I remember that He and people like him died that I may have the opportunity to serve humanity.what a great soul !!!
Thank you for your service to our people.
So why you didn't operate on Billy Kyles and Jesse Jackson when they had a hand in killing your mentor with the government???
I’m right there with you and same here! We are blessed!
This is so powerful. This convicts me of my selfishness,egoism and lust for materialism. God help me. I cried when i listen to this sermon.
Yes yes A note to self🥲✌️
Be vigilant and .seek not the possessions of thie world but of righteousness and truth . It all washes away in the end. I now live at 25 percent of my income and save 75 for a rainy day and God as my witness it is gonna rain.
imagine having the major drum for being so just and honourable that you're remembered decades later.
Greatest Speech Ever!!!!
I’m a 40 year old white man. This is the first time I throughly listened to a sermon from the great Martin Luther king., I recommend this to anyone despite race or religion. It will open up your eyes and ears to the world around you and yourself. I could not stop listening.. we were all as humans lucky to have this man lead and influence people in such a positive manner.. happy king day to all
❤🙏☝️
This speech touches the core of what's wrong in our country right now, so many people want to be important to the point that they no longer care what gets destroyed to get it
Watching in 2023, on Dr. King's 94th Birthday. Such a powerful sermon.
This is one of the greatest speeches I've ever heard
This is a sermon everyone should hear ..im not a religious person but his words are spot on even today ...its so eerie , that he was accurate when you hear this in 2024 ...
I'm listening to this now for the first time.
It is amazing, how his sermons are still relevant today, amazing man leader and follower of Christ
This is no speech, this is a sermon!! King was a preacher🙌🏾🙌🏾
Happy Birthday to the Late Dr Martin Luther King Jr 🎈🎇🎉🥳🎁🎉🎂 Rest in POWER! Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!
This is 2022 and the drum major instinct is still with us. I will even go so far as to say it is a big part of the anger, resentment, and violence we are experiencing all over the country.
7t
All Over The World 🌎. 🧐😔🙏🏽
I listen to this every year on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday... It is one of my favorite sermons.
I grew up during the civil rights era of the 60's. I am white and I think Dr. King was one of the greatest!! Americans
This is a speech I listen to just about every other day, the words are very powerful and wise. Dr. King was truly a prophet I believe, even today his words speak to our situations such as " break the backbone of your economy" only Dr. KING could have explained America this way.
And that's way they killed him.
Dr. King maybe gone physically but his spirit remains. Every time an individual listen to his sermon and is inspired, motivated by his life to follow God. His life was not in vain.🙏 He was a man after GOD 's own heart.
@@elijahbethea6313 yeah I just wish you two would have all of the other speeches
@@kuxspleighnimg2468 ,Can you elaborate on that further cause a sentence suppose to express a compete thought.🤔
Me too! I listen to it about every season or so.
I first listened to this Drum Major Instinct speech on tape back in the year 2000 and it has stuck in my mind ever since. MLK was a great "gentleman of massive verbal persuasion"
Definitely Mr Omotto.
That’s called the Holy Spirit my brother …Love that comes from a pure heart ,Only thing that ever moved men was God ,Not Human skill .📌God bless!!
Ditto. I first heard this on vinyl in 1998. One of the best sermons every preached. Very underrated. Our nation needs this revival of humility.
My favorite speech. He sounds like a Father. ❤️ Bless.
His sermon got me in tears.
We need men with such mentality like his to change the world.
What a timeless sermon! Indeed, this speaks to all men and at all times
This is one of, if not, it's the most powerful sermon he ever gave!
Elijah Allison Was Jesse Jackson,Sr involve in the plot to kill Dr.King.🏦😗🌎🍞😇🏧😎😅
@@WilliamBrown-vl2hl Jesse didn't think they were going to kill him but to slow him down, Right?
Jesse didn't think they were going to kill him@Clyde--so you are saying that Jesse Jackson,Sr was a government agent ? ! How would the deep state of that day slow Dr.King down ?
@luke lifter It's free ? ! the COVID-19 shots are free but Blue Cross & Blue Shield wouldn't pay for my medicine they say it's experimental the COVID-19 vaccines is an experiment.
He's going on about the US as a tyrant as a power hungry nation attacking the world as if they had anything good going on then, this why I question these social influencers then and now if you know the Bible and the history of where people were to where the light is trying to get in all this darkness I finally see the resistance in his heart.
Grateful for a vision for the future that continues to shine a light for the future of us all.
This speech is more powerful than the. I have a dream speach
And that's why the corporate news media keeps play I have a dream speech all the time.
I AGREE! 💗
I listen to this sermon many times each year. It wraps everything up I think.
I agree.
You’re right, this speech transcend times! Most people who listened to this speech during this time may have thought that it was the oppressor that he speaking about. If you heard this speech for the first time today, who came to mind first? I’ll wait! 😂
Truely ahead of his time and A great leader at that with words of wisdom that even now are so relevant and so true Americans have fallen short and have praised and have given power to our oppressors we need strength to speak like this man speaks and call out what is wrong with today!
That sermon was special. You can feel it in a deep place. Authenticity is so precious. I've listened to thousands of sermons, but I remembered "reading" this one in a book that contained a collection of his messages.
Immanuel Navan-Tasi hi there 👋🏾🙂 Do you by chance remember the name of the book? I can’t find anything online, specifically with this sermon in it?
Desire for distinction: our first cry as a baby as the baby cried I felt that
What a genius, great man, leader & father 🙏🏽✊🏽 We need to take as much from his messages in todays society
When he spoke on his funeral I couldn’t help but shed a tear. He truly did serve.
Wow, my granddaddy was Dead and in the funeral home when he preached this.
Clyde Was Jesse Jackson,Sr involve in the plot to kill Dr.King.🏦😅😗😇:-(
@Dan Bertucci Mark Fuhrman is a disgrace too.
@Dan Bertucci you're a disgrace for judging the man. He didn’t have anything to do with the Assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Racists devils 😈 were responsible. Where do you sit Mr. Judgemental?
@@WilliamBrown-vl2hl Y ES
This sermon is relevant to life today! He was great!
He is GREAT!
No.
I listen to his sermons every year as a reminder of who I am as human and a child of God.
Thank you Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King for the selfless service you provided the betterment of the culture and country. Your speeches are still relevant today.❤
Make it plain. True wealth is internal. We are here to Love
"...and when those brothers told me what they were earning, I said, "Now you know what? You ought to be marching with us!""
Even King knew that intersectionality needed to happen.
Preach Man Always tell it like it is 🛐❤️✝️ (God Love His Children All of his children 🙏.
This message touched me to the core and brought me to tears. May we all serve in love.
Hey Karen, I've heard this speech twice before, all the way through, & I played it again today for MLK Day. I had tears rolling out of my eyes long before it was finished. My favorite of his speeches - incredibly inspirational. This man was truly a gift from God, & deserves recognition today (& every day).
Amen to that. God bless you.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr 🤴. His speech lives forever with grace and acceptance upon 🙏 God!!!God is the glory 🙏
We all have that desire, James and John qualities. This sermon....
Thank you for sharing. The Drum Major Instinct is an incredibly important dissertation and should be taught in all of our schools. How applicable it is today amongst the worst Drum Major Instinct personality of Donald Trump. Martin Luther King was intelligent on all levels and stayed on top of our newest discoveries in all sciences and would incorporate them into his speeches. Every word, sentence, in his dissertations is genuine and meaningful in value which one can feel. His dignity and integrity is unmatched in my opinion. Every Martin Luther King Jr. day, we should all march peacefully in the largest numbers to demonstrate our respect and appreciation for one of the greatest men in this country's history, and remember, that if he had still been alive, that this country would have made substantially more progress than it has to this day, on a variety of levels.
A lot of people strom the capital on 1-6-2021. what would Dr.King feel about that ?
@ William brown what does that have to do what he said, he stated, we the people should March on every Martin Luther king holiday, demonstrating respect and in honor for what dr Martin Luther was representing for all God’s children
@@marquitathomas6757 The real story here is there was a hit on Dr.King back in 1968.What about that one ---all you want to do is march and pray.
@@WilliamBrown-vl2hl no I want a change and see a change and be the change... yes praying changes a lot of things, but we as the people have to do the foot work
This will never be taught in any American institution as it’s bathed in beautiful religious thoughts and all academics and elites are sickened by Christ and by acknowledgment and worship of the one true god. They claim separating church and state means separating Christ from school and public life entirely. Even Obama who I’m sure is a supposed mlk fan has openly made fun of Christianity and holding strong religious beliefs. Remember when he said “all they care about is their god and their guns”. Funny that’s the only two things that keep the federal government from handing us over completely to globalization for their own personal profit. What would mr. king think of him and of the majority of us for turning our back on Christ for “modernity” to replace true religion with a religious fervor for science that will ultimately destroy us all. Because without the love of god they will never guide their sciences into curing great illness or stopping great famines but instead producing machines to replace us all and “vaccines” you will be forced to buy quarterly that don’t work to profit from us all.
Full of power, wisdom and strength. I love how at 06:25 he speaks about the drum major instinct at childhood, the moment after hearing a baby crying in the audience!
yes good observation
Dr. King’s word are bone chillingly true to this very day.
Because the Gospel is forever
Here it is-February 4, 2020-52 years later and this speech by MLK still has just as much application today as it did back in 1968. This just goes to show how practical truths and love are what the entire world really need in order to continue to progress.
This Sermon is the life of Dr.Martin Luther King Jr Amen
Amen 🙏🙏
I find myself coming back to this sermon every couple of months. It’s very powerful and his words have stuck with me during my daily life so when I get the chance, I always come back to it. And I find myself quoting some of the lines of this sermon in my everyday conversations without trying. I have watched this so much that I can quote parts of it word for word. I’m just glad that I am able to hear this greatness.
My parents used to talk highly of Martin Luther King. I am not black, but I like listening to his speeches because there are parts that we can all relate with.
Hi my dear God it's good to just live simple l love my family from Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤️ both parents ❤️ yea my father was the best
Great message from a Great man, Dr. King.!! Still Valid in our situation today, after 50+ years.
God used him greatly!
One of my favorite sermons from King. Happy Birthday MLK. Thank You.
Tell it like it is (Dr.Martin L King Love the Lord ✝️).
Well spoken by the Silent Drummer himself. Always inspired by Dr. King's words.
😥 Dr.King was so wise & young. God knew best. RIP

Thank You Jesus 💥 Glooory Hallelujah 👋my God I thank you for my brother our leader, and teacher in the Lord 👏Thank you Father God 🎉May The King Family be Blessed forever 💘 thank you for sharing 💥💨
My very soul has been shaken.
20:34-20:39 the video cuts.. very weird if you ask me, so here's the part we missed:
"Now the other thing is, that it leads to tragic- and we've seen it happen so often- tragic race prejudice. Many who have written about this problem, Lillian Smith, used to say it beautifully in some of her books, And she would say it to the point of getting men and women to see the source of the problem. Do you know that a lot of the race problem grows out of the drum major instinct? A need that some people have to feel superior. A need that some people have to feel that they are first, and to feel that their white skin ordained them to be first. (Make it plain, today, 'cause I'm against it) And they have said over and over again in ways that we see with our own eyes."
Video cuts back in:
"In fact, not too long ago, a man in Mississippi said that God was a charter member of the Whites Citizens council. And so God being the charter member means that everybody who's in that has a kind of divinity, a kind of superiority. And think of what has happened in history as a result of this perverted use of the drum major instinct. It has led to the most tragic prejudice, the most tragic expressions of man's inhumanity to man."
All you say is true but the big picture still came through, Sometimes you must read between the lines, At the age of 14, I could understand every word is truth.
THIS RECORDING IS BRIEFLY INTERRUPTED AT THIS POINT
Wow, thanks for including this. God bless you
I have my testimony and I will testify ❤
I have my miracles
This should be taught to everyone, child to old man. It is the privilege of every human being to live these words until death.
Mark Hall Was Jesse Jackson,Sr involve in the plot to kill Dr.King.😅😇🐱🍞🌐✨📣🛄🇦🇹
This is a very good sermon
Listen closely to this speech and get educated. One of my favorite MLK speeches. Remember, knowledge is power!!!
Turning an old world into a new world, what a great motto.
What a powerful message!
Yes A very strong message.We All should learn (Something from this Message Thank God).
Amen, truth bomb preach what good is a person if they supposedly gain the world & lose their soul in the process
This Sermon/Speech was my aunt (McCree L Harris) who was an Albany, GA Movement Civil rights Worker/ Teacher Favorite. She played it in her classroom quite often so I am told
I love MLK! Powerful works
Powerful speech
HALLELUJAH THIS WAS AN AWESOME SERMON!!
Amen 🙏🙏
Powerful message! We need to listen and understand that we are still doing more then our means, which will turns us into dangerous people.
This sermon is profound
He was brave, intelligent and articulate I see why They feared him to the point of physicaly eliminating him.
Powerful Sermon: Timeless.....
The best revered ever ..no reverend comes close
This sermon has transformed my major to become more considerate of how . I'll be first, second or third in society. Yes, and it's current to date . After I'm dead and gone. -c.e.s
This one of the greatest speeches ever recorded brings hope to minds in the darkest of hours.
Love to hear his message
Powerful
Thank you for sharing. l admire this man of God
Such Wonderful And Graceful Words In His Beautiful Speech And Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Was A Prophet So Meaningful What He Was Here For In Our Dear Lords World.
Real this man was a head of his mind
Why would anyone dislike this?
Martin Luther King. Is. A. Man. Of. God. Walking. With. Jesus Christ 🙏🙏
Humanity is channeling you and your insights every moment. Grateful for the conscious awareness from you and all our ancestors ❤
Yes lord 🙏 that's it!
I love his sermon; I only like his speeches. The lord's messages are more than inspiring- they're informative. This sermon sheds light on how we all are just servants. All just trying- I here mlk saying he failed. And feel he's angry about it. I too uplift God with no wavery, but to drink of the lord's cup I have no desire. Baptized (yes). The work of having a truly graceful heart that is something I've been forced to put on the back burner. To hear how people retort about the almighty God it makes me not want to even give conversation much less advice. Who to help? I know I've been helped, but I give God the glory. Why should I help those that only cheer on the drum major. Why should I help those who only want to accept help so they can get material things to represent they're doing better? The ones I plan to help in 2024 are those on deaths doorstep, and those seeking truth of the words of the Lord. The Lord was saying we are all just servants. those who you think are so great have Them to serve you by serving them. The Lord was truly here to give the message. And that's God bless us best by allowing us to go through pains. Like I said I can hear mlks anger and I'm tired of the pains that come with trying to uplift a people instead of preparing spirits. If you read this: enjoy (Icecold Glacier) as a entertainer because the days of advising people on how to enjoy the love of God are coming to an end for me. 😢 Appreciate my 70 years of fame.😢😢😢 #Godgaveusallthis😊
