  Speaker 1: But what is happening in this place is the Holy
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Spirit is bearing witness that we are in the right
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: place at the right time on the precipice, on the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: precipice of an absolute revolution. It's time out for doing
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: events just to do events.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: If they're not purpose driven, if they're.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Not revelational, if they're not empowering, if they're not relevant,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: we don't have time to waste our energy in things
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: that are not congruent with our destiny. because the Holy
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Spirit has confirmed to us it's going to be big.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: It's going to be big. Every farmer knows when he
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: plants a seed that he does not expect to reap
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a seed from a seed. Whatever went in the ground
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: is gonna come out bigger when it comes out than
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: it was when it went in. If it's in good soil,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: it's gonna flourish. Lay your hands on yourself and say,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I am good soil. Yeah, anybody who invests in me
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is gonna be blessed. Anybody who loves me is going
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to be blessed. Anybody who befriends me is going to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: be blessed. I am good soil. If you plant an
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: idea in me, I'll create a product around it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: If you plant a seed in me, I'll produce a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: harvest behind it. Anybody who invests in me, lay your
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: hands on yourself. I am good soil. That's why God
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: made Adam from the dust of the earth. Because he
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that he used.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Good soil. It's going to be big. It's going to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: be big, y'all. It's going to be big. Let me
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: go to work. Joshua chapter 1 verse 9 through 17.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: There you will find my assignment for this morning. I
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: ask God, what would you have me share with your people?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: After 46 years of preaching, I am blind without your leadership,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: incompetent without your direction, insufficient without your instructions, incapable without
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: your anointing.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: What would you have me say to this people at
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: this time in their lives? And he drove me to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Joshua chapter one, verse nine. I said, Joshua? Yeah, go
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to Joshua chapter one, verse nine. I said, Lord, but
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Joshua is a tempestuous book at a transitional time with
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: transformative leadership, with the fierce urgency of altercation, So that
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: there might be infiltration. Listen closely at me. Altercation so
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that there might be infiltration. Should I use Joshua law?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Joshua is not a book for wimps. Joshua is not
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a book for those who are faint of heart. Joshua
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: is a book that is designed for people who have
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: survived the desert, made it through the dry places, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: still have enough strength to embark on what is about
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to happen in their life. Joshua is for the remnants
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: of people that the desert tried to take out and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it didn't work. Joshua, it is the beginning of a
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: beginning again. It is a fresh start. It is the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: recycling of a covenant people who have been recycled in
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the midst of transition. It is the place of discomfort.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It is the place of disruption. You want me to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: take them to Joshua, Lord? Yes, take them to Joshua.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Joshua is the place where old things are passed away.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: The book of Joshua is the repass after the funeral
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of Moses. It is the closing of one door.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: And the opening of the next. The book of.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Joshua is synergistic with a total transformation of the way
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the people think, who have been trained in 40 years
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: of survival training, but have not been taught in success.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: For the last 40 years, they have developed the techniques
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: that were necessary to sustain them in dry places.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: But the drought is over. The drought is over.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: And now they are stepping into a new transformative experience
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: with a new leader requiring new skills, which means that
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: they must be, shameless plug, disruptive in their thinking. Because
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: if they hold on to their old thinking, If you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: go into new places with old thinking, the wineskins burst
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: because they don't have the flexibility to deal with expansion.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: It's going to be big. And if it's going to
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: be big, I've got to be pliable. I'm in the
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: book of Joshua. Let me read it to you. I'm excited.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Here God speaks to Joshua.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Having just eulogized Moses, he opens his mouth and clears
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: his throat and says, now Moses, my servant, is dead.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: As I was with Moses, so shall I be. Was
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and shall. Was and shall. We are right in between
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: was and shall. and shall, as I was with Moses,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: so shall I be with Joshua. Now we eavesdrop on
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: God commanding his general, teaching him how to lead. Not
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: so he has not led before. He has led in
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a subordinate level up under a leader, but he has
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: never led where he is fully in charge and the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: buck stops with them. And so even though he has
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: some experience and preparatory resolution that abides in him based
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: on that past experience, still he's not ready for this.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: So God says to him, be strong.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: And I want to say that to you. Be strong.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Don't confuse strong with angry. I've seen a lot of
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: people who were angry but not strong. Who talked tough
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: but cracked easy. God says for what I'm getting ready
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: to do, you must be strong. Have not I commanded thee?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I command you to be strong. I'm not asking you.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I command thee to be strong and of good courage.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed, for the Lord
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: thy God is with thee. Yeah, that settles it right there.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: The Lord thy God is with thee, whether so ever
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: thou goest. Amen. Now, when God commanded Joshua, then Joshua
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: commanded the officers. See, we have people commanding people who
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: have not been commanded. We have people leading people who
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: have not been led. Then Joshua commanded the officers. He
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: didn't bring it to the officers until God brought it
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to him. The officers are the people saying, pass through
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the hosts. Go through the crowd and command the people.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: You cannot command people until you can be commanded. You
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: can't give orders if you can't take them. Pass through
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the host and command the people saying, prepare your victuals. Hmm.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Prepare your victuals.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Prepare your food, your sustenance, your necessities, your needs, the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: equipment that is necessary for sustainability. I charge you, no,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I command you to prepare your victuals.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: For within three days.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Ye shall pass over this Jordan to go into a land,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: to go in to possess the land which the Lord
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: your God giveth you to possess it. He gave it
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to you, but you got to possess it. And plus
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: in addition to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: half tribe of Manasseh spake Joshua saying, here's the challenge
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to you. Remember the word which Moses, the servant of
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the Lord commanded you saying, the Lord your God have
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: given you rest and have given you this land, meaning
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: this land on this.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Side of the Jordan.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle shall remain
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: in the land which Moses gave you on this side
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: of Jordan. But you cannot sit comfortably in what has
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: already been allocated to you while your brothers remain in lack.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: men of valor and power. Help them. Question, who are
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you helping? I know you've been blessed. I know you
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: got knowledge. I know you got degrees. I know you
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: got opportunities. I know you got influence. I know you
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: got a nice car. I know you got a Gucci bag.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I know you're wearing Louis Vuitton. Excuse me.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Who are you helping?
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Until the Lord has given your brethren rest... as he
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: hath given you, and they also have possessed the land
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: which the Lord your God hath given them, then ye
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: shall return unto the land of your possessions and enjoy it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: You might be partying at the wrong time. You can't
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: celebrate while your brothers suffer. which Moses the Lord's servant
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: gave you on this side of Jordan toward the sun rising.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: And they answered Joshua saying, all that thou commandest us
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: we will do and whether so ever thou sendest us
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: we will go. We will not sit out on the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: land that we've already possessed and build our houses and
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: sit up under shade trees and drink tall glasses of
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: iced tea with mint leaves on the top while our
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: brother's throat is parched and skin is burnt and they
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: are wandering, trying to figure out how to figure out
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: how to figure out how to get in. according as
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: we hearken unto Moses in all things, so will we
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: hearken unto thee. Only the Lord thy God be with
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: thee as he was with Moses. My subject this morning
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: is prep before the promise. Prep before Before the problem.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Why did you use that? Prepare your victuals. For in
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: three days, we will cross this Jordan.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: You may be seated. Thank you very much.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Spirit of the Lord, God falls fresh on us as
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: we break into the word of God today. I thank
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: you for the word of God being made flesh. Thank
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: you for what you're about to do. Thank you for
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: all that you've invested in us. I believe you for
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: a blessing in Jesus name.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I just concluded on yesterday my annual strategy meeting where
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: various influencers, companies, corporations, and our entire staff surrounded the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: room just to ruminate in the possibilities of what our
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: combined strength could achieve. I have come to learn that
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: we are better together then we are apart. I have
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: come to learn that if you can fulfill your dream
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: on your own, it is too small for you. So
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: we galvanize the best of the best from every walk
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: of life, from all types of business, from travel and
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: leisure to Wells Fargo to Bank of America. They were
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: all in the room to McDonald's. They were all in
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the room to learn and glean and learn and.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: To contemplate.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: How we could increase our force and our impact, not
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: on our church. Our church has received its promised land,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: but our brethren in our community have not. And so
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: we deliberated on it with great contemplation, a strategic alliance
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: that was necessary in order to fulfill the closing of
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the gap of equity, of home ownership, of job creation,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: of the kinds of things that are necessary to reduce
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: crime and frustration and murder and mental health. Because the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: truth of the matter, some of us have worried ourselves
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: to death Over survival. We have not possessed the land.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: God commanded us to possess land. The command of God
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: is to possess land, not money, possess land. They are
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: printing money while I'm talking to you. But they ain't
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: making no more land. So when you start talking about
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the risk of the market, you must understand that the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: market has this risk, but if the land is well bought,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: it is absolute, distinct, and completely irreplaceable. Artificial intelligence will
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: not create it. It will not replace it. It is
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: in a category all by itself. And so as we
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: prepared for our leadership conference and for our Good Soul initiatives,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: for our foundation, for our future, we spent hours and
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: hours and hours with bright minds in preparation. And the
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: preparation didn't just start two days ago. The preparation has
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: been going on for years. So we prepped for the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: prep to prep for what's next. Preparation is underrated. In
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: a world raised by the click of a button and
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: touching on an icon and a whole world opens up,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: we expect life to work like Apple. Just touch it
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and it opens. Face recognition, it's me. And it opens
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: for you. But there are certain doors that in order
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: to be ready for them, you have to be prepared
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: for them. I cook, and many of you know that
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I like to cook, and I have been cooking since
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I was about 13 years old, but I cook the
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: old-fashioned way, often where you prep and cook on the
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: same day. My son has a tendency to prep ahead.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: He talks about brining and soaking and saturating. And so
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I have adapted a new methodology to old school cooking.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Because I found out that when you prep it, when
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: you don't prep in advance, you flavor the food. Now
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: my goal is to flavor the bone. So when I
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: cook my ribs, I'm not interested in flavoring the meat.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: I think ribs are best when the bone tastes as
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: good as the meat. And if you're going to get
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: the flavoring to escape the exterior facade and the elusiveness
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: of sauce, then you must permeate it with seasoning early
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: enough that the seasoning can saturate down past the exterior
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: skin through the meat down to the bone. And you
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: won't really know that you've done it right until you're
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: eating it and the bone is as flavored.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: As the meat.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: This text that I want after all that I read
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: is really summed up in a few words. Prepare your victuals.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: And to a novice reader, this is a footnote, an incidental, irrelevant,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: not specific, not important. After all, they have survived the desert.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: And the walls of Jericho are in front of them,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: walls so high that they could not scale them and
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: so wide that chariots rode across the top of them.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: And why would we not talk about the magnitude of
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the walls, the fierceness of the obstacle in front of them,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: or maybe perhaps talk about the grief of the dying
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Moses who went up in the mountain like he had
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: off gone before Only this time he did not return
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: and there was no closure. They had to reckon him
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: to be dead. No wonder the apostle Paul in the
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: New Testament says reckon your flesh to be dead. It
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: will not confirm it for you. You just have to
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: reckon it to be dead. They had to reckon Moses
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: to be dead. Having only God's word as an absolution, Moses,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: my servant is dead. All they knew is that he
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: didn't come down. He had often gone up on the mountain,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: but this time he did not come down. Now to
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: lose people, they had been losing millions of people As
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: they traveled and sojourned through the wilderness, they were used
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to the wilderness being littered with bodies along the way.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: But this time was different because you could lose people.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: But when you lose Moses, you don't meet a Moses
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: every day. Moses was God sent and God breathed and
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: God equipped. And every single solitary miracle they had witnessed
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: since slavery had been achieved through his hands. And his hands,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: they would see no more. And the wailing sounded like
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: thunder at the bottom of the mountain. Because to lose
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Moses is to lose direction. Moses was the guide who
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: guided them through the wilderness. And it wasn't just that
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: they lost leaders. They lost their compasses. one that had
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: been tried and true and absolute, that had proven himself
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: to be effective at leading them forward, is now dead,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: just when they were almost there, just when they were
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: on the precipice of a new beginning, just when they
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: were about to step into the promised land.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: They had lost Moses.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: And it seems appropriate that if we were gonna talk
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: about something, we would talk about the loss of Moses,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: or maybe the gaining of Jericho, that a 400 plus
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: promise was about to come to pass that God had
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: promised to a dead man named Abram. And many times
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: along the way, God had made up his mind, I
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: will destroy them, but then he remembered.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: His promise to a corpse.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: And stop justice from executing judgment. Though they were deserving
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: of judgment. Because God kept his word.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: To a corpse.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Hence Canaan is called the promised land.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Now God is.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Saying to them as they are wrestling with the intermediate
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: place of not quite being in the desert and not
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: quite being in the promised land. He disrupts their pattern
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: as they had survived the desert off of the food
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: that fell from heaven called manna.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about food. In Egypt they.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Had eaten from the hands of Pharaoh. For 400 years
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: they had eaten out of the hand of a slave master.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Once liberated from the slave master they were freed from
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the whip but they were also void of the food.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: And they missed the leeks and onions of Egypt. They
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: didn't miss the whip, but they missed the food. So
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: God catered for them in the wilderness. Manna that fell
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: from heaven every morning. Not wheat they beat, but manna
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: prepared for them. that all they had to do was
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: reach out and get it. And it was easy. Fell
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: every day like clockwork. Early in the morning with the dew,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: the manna appeared also. Each man according to his house.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: God does not give equally. But God responds to appetite.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Where there is little appetite, there were small loaves. Where
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: there were huge appetite, there were large loaves. Don't compare
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: yourself with one another because God only supplies according to
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: If you don't want much, he won't drop much. But
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: if you've got a great need and a great void,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: he will drop according to your need. So don't look
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: over at your neighbor's tent and worry about what God
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: has given them because they may have the... capacity to
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: absorb more provision than you do and God doesn't want
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: his provision to be wasted God gives seed to the
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: sower and bread to the eater God does not give
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: blessings to people that will not consume it.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Whereas you want.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Blessings just so you can brag about that you got them.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: God gives blessings to people who will take action. And
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: if you're not going to use it, why would God
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: give it to you? And so he designed it that
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: if you didn't use it by a certain time, the
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: worms would eat it up because you were forbidden from
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: hoarding yesterday's bread for today's battle. And as they were
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: joining through the wilderness, the closer they got to the
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: promised land, there is a small, minute phrase in the
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: text that I started to pull up, but you can
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: look it up whenever you want to. It's a simple
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: little sentence, but it has great impact. It has the
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: force of a sledgehammer. It says, and then the manna ceased.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: What do you do? When what used to work doesn't
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: work anymore.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: What do you do when you have gotten used to
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: a system that God has abruptly halted there was no
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: warning there was no prophecy there was no preparation without
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: any warning at all it just stopped And some of
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: us think that we have lost the favor of God
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: because what used to work.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Isn't working anymore.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: And the manna ceased and Moses died and they cried
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: at the bottom of the mountain because everything that they
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: had become accustomed to.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Had been disrupted.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I want to preach to somebody in this room that
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: everything that you were accustomed to has been disrupted. And
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: now you have to move forward without any playbook, without
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: any rules, without any guarantees, without any certainties. If you
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: take another step, you got to take it by faith
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: because the manna has ceased and the Moses is dead,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: but the movement continues. What do you do when you
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: got to keep movement? You got to keep movement, but
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Moses is dead. You got to keep movement, but the
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: manna has ceased. And Joshua, almost as if it were
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: a footnote at the bottom of an elaborate literary work, says,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: prepare your victuals. This is a revolutionary idea to people
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: who only had to gather their food. Now God says,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I won't make it happen anymore without you. I will
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: require your investment in your provision. You have gone as
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: far as you can go off of my charity. Your
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: next meal is gonna require your involvement. Oh, I don't
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: know if you're ready for this. I don't know if
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: you're ready for this. I don't know if you're ready
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: for this. I am taking you from being dependent to
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: being interdependent. I'm weaning you from easy to I know
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: you wrote books on how it works. I know you
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: wrote 12 Steps to a Blessed in a Dry Place.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I know you wrote all kinds of books about water
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: coming out of rocks. I know you wrote books about
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: me lifting up serpents in the wilderness. I know you
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: wrote a lot of books about a lot of stuff.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: But I'm changing the playbook. And I don't know who
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I'm preaching to today. But the Lord sent me here
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: to tell you he has changed the playbook. What used
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: to work will not work right now. He told me
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: to tell you what brought you here will not take
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: you there. The systems, the structures, there's going to be
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: a massive paradigm shift. And if you don't have liquidity
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: and if you don't have dexterity and if you don't
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: have pliability and if you don't have intellectuality, you will
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: not be able to evolve into the next dimension. Because
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: the manna has ceased and the Moses is dead and
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: the movement continues. And right nestled, cradled in this beautiful
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: text is the command to prepare your victuals. So Dexter,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: when he cooks, he cuts up all his onions and
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: grates all his cheeses and flashboils all his food and
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: brines all his meat and does all of that a
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: couple of days ahead of time. Because the prep time
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: is more important than the cook time. Now, I know
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: this is a hard message to preach because I'm preaching
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: about prep time to a microwave oven. It's difficult to
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: talk to you about really good dining because what you
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: eat is not really food. It's just, it's a biological experiment.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: It's something that if you looked at it with a microscope,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: it would be crawling because you took it out of
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: the freezer, you popped it into the microwave and you
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: heated it up for five minutes and you lifted the
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: lid and it almost scalded your hand and you eat
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: it and you call it food, but that's not food.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: That's not food. That's bacteria. Real food requires prep time.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor and say, I'm in prep time.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not acting funny, I'm in prep time. I'm not
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: ignoring your phone calls, I'm in prep time. I'm not
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: disregarding our relationship, I'm in prep time. I haven't got
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: the big head, I'm in prep time. I'm not arrogant,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: I'm in prep time. I know I seem distracted, and
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I don't seem like the person I used to be,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: but I'm the same person, but I'm in a different place.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: I'm in prep time. I'm getting ready for something, and
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: more is required of me in this season than what
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: was required of me in my last season. In my
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: last season, we could play around. We could fool around.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: We could mess around. We could date around, but I
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: got to break up with you in this season. Because
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: I'm in prep time. In my last season, we could
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: breathe on the phone for an hour and a half.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: But in this season, in order to get where I
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: got to go, I'm in prep time. And yes, I
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: still appreciate everything that you used to be. But I
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: recognize your manner has ceased. In other words, you are
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: not the source of my sustenance. You are no longer
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: the place where I eat and I love you and
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you, but I can't be on the phone
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: for hours and hours talking about people because I'm in
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: prep time. People who can spend hours on the phone
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: talking about people aren't going anywhere. And I can't afford
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: to spend another year talking about what other people are
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: doing while I'm not doing anything at all. I'm in
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: prep and I'm wondering if there's anybody in this room,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: in this place. I'm wondering if there's anybody streaming online
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: who's in prep time. You're chopping up stuff and dicing
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: stuff and preparing stuff and wrapping it. It ain't happened yet,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: but you're in prep time. The door hasn't opened yet,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: but you're in prep time. The way it hasn't been
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: made yet, but you're in prep time. If I am
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: preaching to the right people, set it off in here.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I proved my faith because I'm prepping for something
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: that hadn't even happened yet. I haven't mixed it together.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: It hadn't come together. I haven't placed it in the oven.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't put it in the crock pot. I haven't
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: put it on the smoker yet, but I'm.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: In prep time.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: I'm laying it out. I'm getting it ready. I'm bringing
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: structure to what I believe. I'm not just believing it,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: I'm bringing structure to it. Because without structure and strategy,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I won't be prepared to succeed in the area of
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: my destination. I'm in prep time. Nudge three people and say,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: I'm in prep time. I'm in prep time. I'm in
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: prep time. I'm in prep time. I'm in prep time.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: I'm in prep time. I'm in prep time. I'm in
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: prep time. I got to get it in prep time.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I got to get it in the right shape. I
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: got to get it in the right form. I got
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: to get it in the right size. I got to
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: get it at the right temperature. I got to get
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: it in the right order because I'm in prep time.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I can't put cold butter into a pound cake. Because
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: it won't cream. I got to get it room temperature.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Everything's got to be right because I'm in prep time.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: And when I'm in prep time, I have to do
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: stuff that don't make sense to you. Why you got
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: the buttermilk sitting on the stove? Why you got the
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: butter just laying out? Why don't you go ahead and
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: use it? No, it's not the right temperature yet. But
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: I'm in prep time. I'm calling things that are not
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: as though they were. because I'm in prep time. I'm
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: getting my outfit ready. I'm getting my wardrobe ready. I'm
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: getting my language ready. I'm getting my speech ready. I'm
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: learning the right terminologies. not for the room I'm in,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: but for the room I'm about to walk in. I'm
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: learning the language of my future. I'm preparing myself for
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: what God is about to do in my life. I'm
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: in prep time! You don't understand it because you don't
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: have enough faith. You say, when I get there, I'm
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: going to prepare the vigil. It's going to be too
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: late when you get there. You got to prepare for
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: it before you get there. You got to prepare three
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: days in advance because in the next three days, things
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: are about to change in your life in a radical way.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: This is prep time.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: This word is a prophetic word going out to somebody.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: You're in prep time. There's about to be a release
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: in your life. If God is talking to you right here,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: right now, make some noise in this place. Any kind
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: of noise, any kind of noise, any kind of noise.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Your friends are laughing at you, saying, what are you
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: doing going to a leadership conference?
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: You ain't even a leader. Shut your mouth. I'm in
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: prep time.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: I'm calling those things that are not as though they were.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: I'm getting ready for what's next. I want to learn
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: the language.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Of the role.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: I want to be in the place where people are
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: thinking forward. I can't keep hanging out with desert babies.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: I got to get with somebody that's ready to go
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: into the promised land. And I got to get into
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: the room that I'm going to be in one day. No,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: they don't know me right now, but I'm prepping for
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: the future. You can't understand that if you're not a
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: product of faith. But faith will make you get ready
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: for something that hadn't happened yet. Faith will make you
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: borrow vessels when you're broke. Faith will make you take
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: a lunch and tell everybody to sit down some kind
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: of way. God is going to turn it into a smorgasbord.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Faith will make you get ready for a child when
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: the doctor said you can't have no baby. Faith will
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: make you call those things that are not as though
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: they were. Faith gets into your attitude and your disposition.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Faith will make you rebuild a room on a house
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: for a prophet that hadn't come by yet. Faith will
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: make you get ready for something that hadn't even there yet.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Faith will make you start laying out plans and diagrams
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: and getting ready and setting up situations for something you
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: can't even pay for. Faith will make you move out
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: on something that makes you look like a fool. Faith
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: will make you build an ark and it hadn't been
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: a drop of rain. Faith will get you ready for
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: something that hadn't even started to break loose in your life.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: I want to talk to some radical.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: People in this room. that are willing to build a
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: boat in your backyard and it hadn't even rained yet
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: and all your neighbors are laughing at you, but you
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: are in prep time. If you're in prep time, holler
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: at your boy.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Prepare.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Sit down, sit down, I'm just talking. Prepare.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Prepare your victuals. Prepare your victuals. Look at somebody and say,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: prepare your victuals. This basically is not just a change
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: of how you cook. This is a change of how
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: you think. You were raised by people who didn't have
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: to prepare. So you cannot take your parents' mindset into
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: your moment. Because your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: But the manna has ceased. So that means you have
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: to have a different mindset. You might have the moral equivalency,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: but you cannot have the same mindset. Because if you
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: have the mindset of your fathers, you will be looking
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: up every morning waiting on something to fall down that
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: is never going to fall down again. And you will
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: be waiting on something to happen so you can move.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Nothing else is going to happen. Prep time means mindsets
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: determine assets. If I cannot get it in your mind,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: I cannot get it in your life. If your mindset
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: is still looking up for manna then your hands won't
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: prepare your victuals. And prep time is a dangerous, dubious
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: task of challenging how you think. It's not that the
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: preparation for the food is not available to you, but
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: if you don't have the mindset you won't have the asset.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: If you have a mindset of waiting on something to
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: fall in the morning, you won't prepare your victuals in
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: the day. Every time there's a major change in your
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: life or move in your life or you move into
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: a new region or a new occupation or a new
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: situation or you become a single parent or you get
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: married It's not enough to get a new ring if
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: you have an old mindset. Come on with me. Come
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: on with me. Come on with me. Don't jump off now.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Don't jump off with me. You can't be a married
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: woman with a single woman's mindset. Because all of your
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: single girlfriends will mess up your marriage with their advice
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: about what they would do if they was you and
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: they don't have nobody and you listening at them and
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: carrying that spirit home and it's tearing up your house.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: Brother, you can't be.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: A husband with a single man's mindset. Because you will
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: be physically present but emotionally unavailable. Because you are physically
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: and legally married but not emotionally present or connected. And
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: because you have not developed language for anything beyond anger,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: your wife becomes a sparring partner. Because you are better
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: at expressing anger than you are anything else. And God
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: is prepping you with a change of mindset. Can I
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: go just a little bit deeper? I know I'm taking
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: up some time. But I want to show you how
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: powerful mindset is. The prodigal son is down in the
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: hog pen. He has estranged himself from his father and
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: his brother. He has gradually lost the dissipation of friendships.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: The erosion of connectivity. He is in a place of
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: total isolation, surrounded by swine. He is out of money.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: He is out of friends. He is out of family.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: He is out of identity. He has no name in
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: the text. He is a nameless person in a deplorable situation.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: And the only thing that changed, no angels came, no
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: visitations from God came, no Bible dropped down out of
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: the sky. The only thing that changed, the hogs were
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: still the hogs. The slop was still the slop. The
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Gentiles were still the Gentiles. His family was still estranged.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: His friends had all ran away. The only thing changed.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: His mind, his mind changed. The Bible said that with
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: mud in between his toes and gnats around his head,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: he came.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: To himself.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: The only thing you have to do to get out
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: of the situation you're in right now is change your mind.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: You don't need her to come back. You don't need
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: him to come back. You don't need them to pay
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: your way. You don't need anything else but to change
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: your mind. As a mind.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Thinketh in his heart, so is he.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: And the moment you change your mind, can't nobody hold
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: you down This is a change of mindset. I'm not
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: going to keep standing out here in the morning waiting
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: on something to fall. It ain't falling no more. What
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: used to work is not working anymore. I'm changing my mindset.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: If I got to get my hands messy, if I
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: got to get up early in the morning, if I
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: got to... beat the wheat till it turns to flour.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: I will beat whatever I've got to wheat until I
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: make it turn into what it's got to turn to
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: because my hands are a reflection of my mindset. If
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: you want to know what I'm thinking, watch what I'm doing.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: If you see me out here doing it, it means
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not waiting anymore. I came here to tell you
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: tonight that God said stop waiting on somebody to come
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: rest you from your situation.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: They're not coming.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: You need to change your mindset and start beating that
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: wheat up until you see bread. There will be no
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: more bread falling from heaven. You're in a prep season
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: for a promise that's about to take your life. If
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: I'm preaching right at you, if I'm preaching right to you,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: if I'm preaching about where you're at right now, if
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: you know you got to change the game, if you
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: know you got to shift the strategy, if you know
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: you got to get a new playbook, If you know
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: you got to break out of the box, if you
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: know you got to disrupt something, if you know God
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: is challenging you, that if you've always done what you've
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: always done, you will always be where you've always been.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: If you're ready to be radical, reckless, and break loose
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: and break out, if you're ready to break some rules
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: and do something you've never done before, if you're ready
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: to beat wheat till it comes out as loaves of bread,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: make some noise in this place.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: Just a noise.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Can somebody say, it's yours, but you got to take it.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to move from preparation to possession. It's yours,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: but you got to take it. It's not going to
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: come up on your front porch. It's not going to
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: ring the doorbell. It's not going to respond to you
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: the way you expected it to respond to you. Ain't
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: no more manna coming down to your door. Ain't nobody
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: coming to your house begging you for a position. You
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: got to possess it. It's yours, but you got to
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: take it. You got to take it. You got to
• 50:48

• 50:55
  Speaker 1: while somebody else thinks it's there. There's going to be
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: an altercation, but you got to take it by force.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: Come on out! The Bible said.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: That the kingdom suffered violence and the violent taken by force.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: I want to raise up some radical people. I'm sick
• 51:09

• 51:16
  Speaker 1: by force. Is there anybody in here that's ready to take.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: It by force? God told Joshua, I.

  Speaker 1: fight for it. Slap three people and say, fight for it.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Don't just pray for it, but fight for it. Don't

• 51:37
  Speaker 1: to fight for it. I've given you the land to

• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Somebody is living in your house. Somebody is driving your car.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Somebody is sitting at your decks. I heard the Bible say,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: I'll give you houses. that you didn't build and vineyards
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: that you didn't grow, but you got to take it
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: by force. You got to come out of your passive
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: little quiet, sit back, wait, Johnny, come lately, spirit, and

• 52:14
  Speaker 1: back what the enemy stole from you. Take back what

  Speaker 1: I'm ready to move people out. Call U-Haul. I want
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: my staff to call U-Haul so I can move out
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: all of these vagrant people that are living on my territory.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Give me a U-Haul truck because I'm going to move
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: you out of my job, out of my position, and
• 52:43

  Speaker 1: hire myself. If you don't give me a job, I'll
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: make a job. If you won't give me a seat,
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: I'll create a table. I'm ready to possess the promise
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: of God. This ain't for everybody. This is for radical people.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: This is for people who've suffered enough. I've been through
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: enough hell in the wilderness that if you don't make
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: a way for me, I'll make a way for myself.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: God said, I've given you the land to possess it.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Shake your name and say, take it back. Take it,
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: take it, take it, take it. I don't care if
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: you got to take night classes. I don't care if
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: you got to fix your credit score. I don't care
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: if you got to turn around and do double time
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: to get where you're trying to go. Take it before
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: you lose respect for yourself. Take it while you got
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: enough strength to go after your dream. Take it while
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: your talent is in place. You got to take it
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: by force. How can I take it? Somebody else is
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: in it. God said it's yours. I want all you
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: people that don't normally say nothing in church, run over
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: and look at somebody and say, I'm getting ready to
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: take it. I know you don't expect me to be
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: one of the kind of people that'll take it. I
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: know I'm normally quiet and I haven't said nothing to
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: y'all's service, but I'm getting ready to take it by force.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to bust a move. I'm getting ready
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: to go into another dimension. I'm getting ready to make
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: 2023 count. Since COVID didn't kill me, since the flu
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: didn't kill me, Since the cancer didn't take me out.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Since the car wreck didn't destroy me. Since I made
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: it out of the hospital. I'm going to redeem the time.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to take it back. If I had died,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: I couldn't take it. But I'm still here. I'm going
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: to let hell know that I'm still here because I'm taking.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: Give me my stuff back. Give me my stuff back.
• 55:56
