  Speaker 1: Hey family, welcome to the house.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: We're so glad you're here and we are excited about
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: this word that you are getting ready to receive. It's
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: going to bless you and change your life. And when
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: God speaks to you and it resonates very deeply and
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: there's a promise, maybe something that you've been praying for
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: and believing God for, I want you to sow a seed.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: Whenever God meets me, I make it my personal commitment
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: to sow a seed, to build an altar. When there's
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: something in that message that you know the light turns
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: on or it deals with something that you have been
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: struggling with, there is something about having this practical manifestation
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: of that response of what God just said to you.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: And for me, that comes when I sow a seed.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: We love you. God bless you.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Watch it to the end and then share this message
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: with somebody. It's going to change your life and hopefully
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: many others.
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: I want to pick up from where I left off
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: Sunday today. And in case you weren't here for Sunday,
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: this is Walk It Out Wednesday. This is the opportunity
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: where we go deeper into the word of God and
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: we also take some questions from you. And our subject
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: was don't bury your dream. How many people got your
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: dream with you? Don't bury your dream. It's easy to
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: do that. It's easy to bury your dream. It's easy
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: to let bad circumstances talk you out of hoping Talk
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: you out of believing. Make you settle for a life
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: that's less than what God planned for you. You have
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: to be tough to get what God has for you.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: Not just tough on the outside. People confuse tough and mean.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: I have met mean people that weren't tough. And I
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: have met tough people that weren't mean. Don't get them confused.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: In an attempt to try to be tough, we act mean.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: But you can be mean all you want to. Tough
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: is something you have on the inside that fortifies you
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: and keeps you going all the time. So I want
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: you to take that toughness from the Shunammite woman that
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: we were preaching on on Sunday, and we're going to
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: go deeper into her. How many people enjoyed Sunday? Yeah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Shake hands with somebody and say, don't bury your dreams.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: We're going to be in 2 Kings chapter 4. I'm
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: going to go to some extra scriptures that I didn't
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: have time to go into on Sunday. I'm going to
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: go into some areas that I didn't go into before.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: And I want you to prepare yourself for that. 2
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Kings chapter 4, verse 18 through 27. When you have it,
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: say amen. Okay. You can stand on your feet. You
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: might be standing a little while because I'm going to
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: talk all in between. But you know how I am.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: I used to have, I was preaching back in the day,
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: we had readers. Read? What did he say? Yeah, I
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: still like that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah, I still
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: like that kind of stuff. Incidentally, the Shunammite woman is,
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Shunammite is not an ethnicity. It's a location. It's like
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: saying I'm a Charlestonian. I'm a Mississippian, okay? So when
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: we call her a Shunammite woman, it is not an ethnicity.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: It is a location. It is where she lived. She
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: is no doubt from the tribe of Issachar because Shunamm
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: was part of the inheritance of Issachar. The 12 sons
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: of Israel, of which Issachar was a part, all received
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: an inheritance of land except Judah. And Judah's inheritance was
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: the house of the Lord. Levi, rather, the house of
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: the Lord. And you have to understand that so that
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: you can be clear about that. And the Bible says
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: it fell on a day that Elijah passed to Shana,
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: where was a great woman. And he just left a
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: poor woman. And I talked about that Sunday, the The
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: passages between the poor woman and the great woman, when
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: the Bible calls her a great woman, it doesn't mean
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: she's better than the poor woman. It means she's well off.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: So he passed to Shunem where there was a great
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: woman and she constrained him to eat bread. And so
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: it was. I love the word. Isn't it cool? And
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: so it was. It's just the King James language. It's
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: so nice. And so it was, it's not always right,
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: but it's always nice. And so it was that as
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: eat bread. Now, I talked about there is a ministry
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: of giving. There is a ministry of helps. And we
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: don't talk about it much in church, but there are people,
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: I bet you're in here right now, there are people
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: in here that just have a giving spirit. And sometimes
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: you get taken advantage of because you got a giving spirit.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: But if you're a giving spirit, you're creatively a giver.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: You don't have to wait to be asked to give.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: You'll come up with stuff. You're thoughtful. And the Bible
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: said the liberal soul shall be made fat. And so
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: when it says the liberal soul, it means that the
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: liberal soul shall be made fat doesn't mean that you
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: have money Because you can have money and still be stingy.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: You have a liberal spirit. And when you're a liberal spirit,
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: God says he's going to make you fat. Now, he
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: don't mean this way. Okay? Ice cream did that. But
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: he says, if you're liberal, I'm going to give you
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: more to be liberal with. If you're selfish... Why would
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: I give more to somebody who's not going to do
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: anything with it? I give seed to the sower and
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: bread to the eater. I'm not going to give you
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: seed if you're not going to do anything with it,
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: but put it back. I give seed to the sower.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: And it's a frightening thing sometimes because God will give
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: you something to sow and the enemy will be whispering
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: in your ear saying, you need that yourself. But God
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: has a way of giving it back to you But
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: I want you to understand he doesn't always give it
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: back to you through the same person you gave it to.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: I know this from experience. I've gone places to preach
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: and the check bounced or the offering wasn't any good
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: or it was a bad check or the account was closed.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, 50 years I've had everything happen. But
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: somewhere along the way in a grocery store, in a
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: department store, somebody will walk up to me and say,
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: the Lord laid on my heart to sow this into
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: your hand. Because you can't beat God's giving. God will
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: find a way to get a blessing to you, even
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: if he has to use your enemy. God will use
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: your enemy to bless you. Are you with me? And
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: she said unto her husband, behold now I perceive that
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: this is a holy man of God. which passes by
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: us continually. That means he was always eating over her house.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: Like the good Reverend on soul food. He was always
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: coming over. She was always feeding him. He never asked her.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: She just did it. She was a great woman. Great
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: people do great things because they have a great capacity
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: because they are thoughtful God gives them capacity to live
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: up to their thoughtfulness. Y'all didn't get that, that went
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: over your head. They're thoughtful. Some people are not thoughtful.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: You have to ask them. And some people you got
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: to beg them. And some of them after you beg them,
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: they still ain't gonna give you nothing. But there are
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: people that are just thoughtful and it's not always about money.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: It can be about running bath water. It can be
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: taking your car to wash it. Just some people, they
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: just going to give you something whether you ask for
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: it or not. Anybody like that, wave your hand. Yeah, yeah.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: And if you're like that, you have somebody in your
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: family that's always telling you you're crazy. They're using you.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: They're making a fool out of you. It don't take
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: all that. And what they're doing is talking you out
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: of your blessing. Because as you bless other people, God
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: will bless you. Fat is, let me tell you what
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: fat is. The man explained what fat was to me
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: this way. When you fill your car tank up full
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: of gas and the tank is full of gas and
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: now it's spilling out, That's what fat is, all that
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: your body didn't use, it spills out. See, this is overflow.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: So when God says a liberal soul should be made fat,
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: God says, I'm going to give you more than enough.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: You're going to have overflow. You're going to have gas
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: running out into the street. all in your tires, all everywhere.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: The liberal soul should be made fat. Why is he
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: going to make you fat? Because he knows that you're
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: going to keep giving. You're going to keep sowing. You're
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: going to keep planting. You're going to keep giving of yourself,
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: of your time, of your personality. Some of you can't
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: even give a smile. You're sitting up in church looking
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: just as mean as a jump yard dog. But when
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: you're a giver, you light up the room when you
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: walk in the room. Now she says, let us make
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall and
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: let us set for him there a bed and a
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: table and a stool and a candlestick. Look at her,
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: designing a room, building a room. He ain't ask her
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: for no room. And it shall be when he cometh
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: to us, that he shall turn in thither. Instead of
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: being tired of him coming over, she wants to make
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: it comfortable for him to come more. Wonder if you've
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: made it comfortable for Jesus to come over. Wonder if
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: you've made a room for him. Wonder if there's space
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: in your life to have a devotional and have a
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: relationship with Christ. Wonder if you have a bed and
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: a table, and candlesticks, and a chair, and you've decorated
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: it in such a way that he doesn't have to
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: break in, because the Holy Spirit is a gentleman. He
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: won't break in. He'll come in, but he won't break in.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: You have to invite him in. You have to be
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: intentional about it. You can be evil if you want to,
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: but if you decide not to be evil, you can
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: be intentional about it, and start worshiping. And if you
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: really start worshiping, you will find out you cannot be
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: evil and worship at the same time to save your life.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: You can't do it. You can be mad when you start.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: You can be mad because somebody came in, your ex-husband
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: came in, and he's sitting on the back row with
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: his new wife, and you got an attitude, and then
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: the service gets good, and the Holy Spirit just washes
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: all away. All that just comes away from you. Are
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: you following what I'm saying? Amen. And it fell on
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: a day that he came thither and he turned into
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: the chamber and he lay there. And he said to Gehazi,
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: his servant, call this Shunammite. And when he had called her,
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: she stood before him. And he said unto him, say
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: now unto her, behold, thou has been careful for us.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: You have given care to me with all this care.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: What is to be done for thee? This is, I
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: love this word. I love, love, love this word. I
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: think this explains so much of the Bible is reciprocity. Reciprocity.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: In every relationship, there ought to be reciprocity. Paul said,
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: if I give you my spiritual things, should you not
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: give me your carnal things? There ought to be reciprocity.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: If I'm kind to you, you ought to be kind
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: to me. If I'm loving to you, you ought to
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: be loving to me. It might not be the same way.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: It might not be the same thing. It might not
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: be the same amount. I had a friend of mine
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: gave me something for my birthday that I just couldn't
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: believe it. I just couldn't even believe it. It was
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: several years ago, but I just could not believe that
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: I would receive a gift like that. When his birthday
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: came around, I could give him what he gave me,
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: because I don't have that kind of money. But to
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: the limit that I could go, I went to the
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: very limit and found him a watch. It was the
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: last one in the world, and it had his name
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: engraved into it, and brought it up there and gave
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: it to him. Because I believe in reciprocity. I'm not
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: just going to suck up the blessing and say, oh,
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: you're just nice. You're just so nice. Oh, you're so nice.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: You're so nice. You don't ever do nothing. Cook dinner.
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: Make squash. Make some cornbread. Bake a cake. Get some
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: cookies out. Do something so that you have reciprocity. That's
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: what the Bible says. As long as the earth remaineth,
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: it's in the book of Genesis chapter 8, there will
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: be seed. Time and harvest. Harvest is reciprocity to seed time.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: There will be day and night. There will be winter
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: and summer. These things are consistent. Whether you're saved or
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: unsaved or holy or unholy, they're consistent. Reciprocity. You ought
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: to be convicted if somebody keeps being nice to you
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: and you don't do nothing. It ought to bother you.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: It ought to bother you. It ought to disturb you
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: that you don't do nothing back. You ought to wash
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: dishes sometime. You ought to cook sometime. Every now and
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: then when my wife is cooking a lot, I'll come
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: in and beat her and lay out something and cook
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: for her and just have something done just to say
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: you ain't got to always cook. Be standing over no
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: stove cooking. Yes, reciprocity, you ought to do something. Are
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: you hearing what I'm saying? So this woman had reciprocity.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: Say now unto her, behold, the prophet says, behold, thou
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: has been careful for us with all this care. What
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: is to be done for thee? Wouldst thou be spoken
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: for to the king or to the captain of the host?
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: And she answered, I dwell amongst my own people. She bad,
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: she bad. She said, I don't need nothing. You don't
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: need to introduce me to the king and none of
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: that kind of stuff. She said, I'm satisfied to dwell
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: amongst my own people. So she definitely wasn't using him.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: When he offered her an opportunity to enter into his
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: favor with the king, she said, I'm cool. I'm happy
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: to be amongst my own people. And he said, what
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: then is to be done for her? Look, he won't
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: let her say no. He won't let her say no.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, verily,
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: she hath no child. She didn't say nothing about the child. Gehazi,
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: who was Elijah's servant, says she has no child and
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: her husband is old. So this is something she couldn't
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: do for herself. I'm not going to explain that, but anyway.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: And he said, call her. And when he had called her,
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: she stood in the door. And he said, about this season,
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. Now,
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: it's hard in the Western culture in the modern time
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: to explain how important it was to women in the
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: Bible days to birth a son. But let me take
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: a stab at it. when you go back to the
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: third chapter of the book of Genesis, the prophecy goes
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: out to Eve that the seed of the woman shall
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: bruise the head of the seed of the serpent, and
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: the serpent shall bruise his heel. It is the first
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: messianic prophecy. And it is given to say that some
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: woman is going to come along. Eve thought it was
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: her when she had Cain and Abel, and that's a
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: whole other story. And then finally Seth, She was hoping
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: she would be the woman that birthed the one that
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: got back at the serpent for how he tricked her.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: But the prophecy was for Mary. Are you hearing what
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: I'm saying? But all through the Old Testament, you see
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: women saying something they ain't saying no more. Give me
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: a child lest I die. Hannah was crying out for
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: a child, going in the temple moaning for a child.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: I don't know when I've seen somebody on the altar
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: crying crying for a baby. I've seen some crying because
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: they had a baby. But you have to understand this
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: is a cultural dynamic for Hebrew women. Okay? And she said, Nay,
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: my Lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: thy handmaid. Now she had already called him a holy man.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: But when he said that she was going to have
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: a child, she said, don't lie to me. And this,
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: the word has struck a nerve. It struck a nerve
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: because this woman has come to a place that she's
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: at peace now. She dwells amongst her own people. She's
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: a Proverbs 31 woman. She has a husband. She's doing good.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: She's doing business. She can afford to build a room
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: onto her house for somebody who comes by occasionally. And
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: she says, don't wake up my desire for a child.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: And in spite of that, the Bible says, and the
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: woman conceived and bear a son at that season that
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: Elijah had said unto her at that season. Look at
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: your neighbor and say, you got a season. You got
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: a season to reap. After having seasons to sow, you're
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: going to have a season to reap. It started out
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: a season she was just cooking dinner, and then she
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: had a season where she was building a house. She
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: had a season she was decorating for somebody for somebody
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: else to live in a part of the house that
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: she didn't even live in but as sure as she
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: had a season to sow she had a season to
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: reap and the Bible said now she has come into
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: her season how many of you feel like you're coming
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: into your season Type on the line if you're watching
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: on the stream, I'm coming into my season. Even if
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: you don't feel like it, even if you don't see it,
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: even if the rent-to-own man came and took your TV out,
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: just go ahead and just say it by faith, I'm
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: coming into my season. Your spirit needs to hear your
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: mouth confess, I'm coming into my season. It would do
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: so much for your mood and for your attitude. I'm
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: getting ahead of myself. But the way you talk to
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: yourself has a lot to do with how much peace
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: you have and how much contentment you have. Most of
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: y'all that think that the devil is after you and
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: the demons are tormenting you, it ain't the demons. You're
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: doing that to yourself. You're feeding yourself poison. Oh, what
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: if this happens? Oh, God, what if this happens? What
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: if the other happens? Then you tell her, I'm scared
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: to death. I'm afraid. I don't know if I'm going
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: to live long. Mama died when she was 27. I
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: don't know if I'm going to make it. And you
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: just feed yourself all that poison and wonder why you're
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: not happy. But in her own season, she brought forth.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: You got a season coming. You got a season coming.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: Don't let the devil talk to you into killing yourself
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: and miss your season. Just because you had to sow
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: a while before you got to it didn't mean you
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: wasn't going to get it. You got a season coming.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: And when the child was grown, now look at this,
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: and when the child was grown, it fell on a
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: day that he went out to his father to the reapers, okay?
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: So it's so much difference between having a grown child
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: And having a little child. It's altogether different. It's just
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: a whole different experience. You can say things to your
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: grown children that you couldn't say when you were a child.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: And you got to learn. I'm going to just say
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: this real quick and move on. You got to learn
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: when to let them go and be grown. You gotta
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: give up your role, your controlling role as a mother
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: or a father and let them live their own life
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: whether you like that dress or not, whether you like
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: that coat or not, whether you like that job or not.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: You lived your life, you made your choices. Even if
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: it's a mistake, sometimes you gotta let them make the mistake.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: But because of your need to be who you were,
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: you can't transform into who you are. Oh, it got quiet, Jesus. Anyway,
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: he's out there with his father. She sent him out
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: to the father. It's interesting to note when he was little,
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: he was with his mama. But when he got older,
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: he went to be with his father. It's already told
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: you his father was old. but he's still getting something
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: from an old man that he can't get from his mother. See,
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: there's something that you get from an old man that
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: you can't get from a young one. It's a different
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: level of reasoning. It's a different level of understanding. It's
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: a different perspective because they have been where you have
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: yet to go. You see, but I'm going to say
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: this and I'm getting myself in all kinds of trouble.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: So I hope they don't put this on the internet.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: But we got so many young men trying to give
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: advice to other young men who haven't lived any further
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: than the young men they're giving advice to. And they're
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: a chief apostle at 19. They got bodyguards and security
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: guards and briefcases and they're coming in and this is
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: my covering. This is my spiritual father, really? You're older
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: than your daddy. And it's nothing wrong, because I started
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: out preaching when I was 19. I love young people.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: But for me to teach on marriage... at 19 or
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: 21 would be totally different from me teaching on marriage,
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: having raised my children. I've learned a whole lot of
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: things that were theoretical that in reality didn't work out
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: the way I thought it would work out. Can I
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: get a witness? Is there a witness in here? I
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: thought I knew something, but when them kids got through
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: with me, they took me to school. I now have
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: a doctorate. I have a doctorate degree And what works
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: and what don't work. But we're losing our fathers. Paul
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: said we have many teachers but we only have one father.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: And don't fool around and lose your father. Don't let
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: the enemy cause you to become disconnected with your father.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: He don't have to be perfect to be your father.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: He still gave birth to you. And he's old. And
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: the boy has now a grown man, grown enough to leave.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: But he's still with his father. And he said to
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: his father, maybe something he couldn't have said to his brother,
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: my head, my head. To be able to say where
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: it hurts. Did you get that? To be able to
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: say where it hurts, to be able to say what's
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: wrong with you, to be able to confide in somebody
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: who's not going to tell you business. Now, every old
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: man is not a father. Gray hair don't necessarily make
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: you wise. It just makes you gray. But if you
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: find a real father, you ought to be able to say,
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: my head, my head. But today, we spend so much
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: time trying to prove to our fathers that we don't
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: need them. that we're not honest with them to say,
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: my head, my head. Sounds like to me the boy
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: was having an aneurysm. I don't know. I'm just throwing
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: in conjecture there. Whatever it was, it killed him. So
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: it wasn't a headache. It wasn't a nosebleed. My head,
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: my head. And he said to a lad, carry him
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: to his mother. And I talked about that Sunday, about
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: there's certain things that your mother can do that your
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: father can't do, a woman's instinct over a child. In fact,
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: I was reading a periodical that was written by a
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: physician says that the cells of a baby never completely
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: leave the mother. The baby leaves, but the cells of
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: a baby stay inside of the mother. So that when
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: the mother gets sick, part of the defense that's fighting
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: for her to get well is coming from the leftover
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: cells of the child. Woo wee. I'm preaching way better
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: than you shout. And when he had taken him and
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: brought him to his mother, he set her on her
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: knees till noon. And by noon, he died. And she
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: went up. and laid him on the bed of the
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: man of God and shut the door upon him and
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: went out. Don't nobody do that with dead people. She
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: took the dead child. She carried her dead, grown son.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Women get strong when it's their kids. You mess with
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: their kids, they turn into Mighty Mouse. And she carried
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: him and laid him on the bed. And I want
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: you to sit down so you don't get tired. Now,
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: but while you're sitting, remember I'm still standing. And I'm
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: older than two-thirds of you, so if you're tired from
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: standing in a few minutes, you ought to be praying
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: for me and speaking in tongues. Because I'm going to
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: be standing for a while tonight, okay?
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: And what I want you to see, this is what
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: I want you to see that I didn't get to
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: dwell on Sunday. I want you to see that this
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: woman was highly favored. That the prophet gave her some,
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: he did her a favor. He did her a favor
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: she didn't even ask for. And I want to expose
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: the misunderstanding we have about favor. Because we think that
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: if we are favored or you know how we like
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: to say, how you doing? I'm blessed and highly favored.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: We love to say that. The favor of God is
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: resting on me. That's how I got that job. That
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: was the favor of God. But the problem is we
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: only associate favor with success. Oh, I'm doing so good.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: We only associate favor with success. And if you define
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: favor only through success, then you can't explain what happened
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: to this woman, her child, grew up and died on
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: her lap her favor died on her lap but she
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: was still favored Life is still going to be life
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: whether you have favor or not. People are going to
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: die whether you have favor or not. People are going
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: to get sick whether you have favor or not. People
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: are going to leave you whether you got favor or not.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: People are going to break your heart whether you got
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: favor or not. Don't let the devil tell you that
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: you lost your favor because you lost your friend. Oh,
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: I'm talking so good tonight. I think I'll dance while
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: I'm standing up here. Favor is not equated to substance
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: or wealth or good times or feeling good. You can
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: go through a bad time and still have favor. Jesus
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: increased in wisdom and stature and favor with God and
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: favor with man, but he still got crucified. He was
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: in the will of God, but he still bled out
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: on the cross. He bled out because if the blood
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: would have stayed in, it wouldn't have done us no good.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: He bled out for our redemption. He bled out for
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: our deliverance. He bled out for our salvation. He bled out.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: Blind by the mask got healed just in time to
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: see the blood come out. And the blood came streaming down.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: He bled out. Glory to God. He'd been walking around
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: with all that blood in him, but it didn't redeem
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: anybody until he bled out. And sometimes you have so
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: much favor that God will put you in a situation
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: where you have to bleed out. And it's painful. And
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: you don't like it. And you're in the garden of Gethsemane.
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: And you say, Father, if it be thy will, pass
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: this bitter cup. That means he didn't want to do it.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: He didn't want to do it. He didn't like it.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: The Bible said he despised it. He despised the shame
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: of the cross. But for the joy that was set
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: before him. He looked beyond the present circumstance to see
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: what was going to come out of it on the
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: other side. I'm helping somebody right now. I can feel it.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: You're all sitting up soaking in the temporary circumstance. You're
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: only going to be on the cross for a little while.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: After a while, you're going to rise again, and the
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: cross is going to be empty. Do you hear what
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: I'm saying to you? I'm talking to somebody. The only
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: way you can endure a season of pain is to
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: look beyond it. Don't look at it, look beyond it.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: Look beyond it. Having an expectation, having a hope inside
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: of yourself. Keep your hope. If you want to not
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: bury your dream, you gotta keep your vision. For without
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: a vision, the people perish. I don't care if you
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: gotta get binoculars. I don't care if you have to
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: get away from negative people and find somebody that believes
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: in your dream. You need to be around somebody that
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: is helping you to see beyond. It's still possible. It
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: can still happen. You might be an old woman, Sarah,
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: but you can still have a baby. Oh, you don't
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: hear what I'm saying to you. Rahab, you might be
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: a hooker, but you might end up in the lineage
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: of Jesus Christ. They all don't hear what I'm saying
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: to you. Ruth, I don't care that you were an idolatress.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: You can change on the road. She wasn't in church.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: She wasn't in a service. She wasn't in a ceremony.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: But right in the middle of the road, she said,
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: thy God shall be my God. Thy people shall be
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: my people. Where thou lodgest, I will lodge. Where thou diest,
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: I will die. She had a conversion on the move.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: she had a conversion while she was walking and she
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: was converted by a woman that was depressed and discouraged
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: and didn't even want to go on any further y'all
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: don't hear me Naomi don't have to be spiritual and
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: happy to affect Ruth your mentor doesn't have to be
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: perfect to affect you She was going through a bad time.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: Worst time in her life. She won't rename herself. And
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: all the while, while she's depressed, she's still winning souls. Oh,
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: y'all don't hear what I'm saying to you? She wasn't
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: preaching and singing and laying hands and slinging oil on nobody.
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: She would say, call me Mara, which means bitterness. I
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: went out full and I came home empty. And while
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: she was talking all out of her head, she was
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: still affecting Ruth. Because sometimes your greatest witness is in
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: your frustration and your test and your trial. And when
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: I see you survive hell and high water and I
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: see you still going forward, even though you don't feel
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: like going forward, your greatest witness might not come while
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: you're on the mountain. It might come while you're in
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: the valley. At your lowest moment. See, you're not as
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: powerful when things are going good as you are when
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: all hell is breaking loose. There's something about all hell
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: breaking loose that it brings something out of you where
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: people can see you suffer more and still be consistent.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: She was depressed, but she kept on walking. She was angry,
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: but she kept on walking. She was hurt, but she
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: kept on walking. I found out a long time ago,
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: if you keep on walking, you can walk your way
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: out of anything. If you just keep on walking. You
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: ain't gotta feel like walking, you ain't got to be
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: excited about walking you ain't got to be happy about
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: walking but if you just keep on the steps of
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: a good man are ordered by the Lord and if
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: you just keep on walking in what God ordered he
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: didn't ask you to like it he just told you
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: to walk it out I think this is walking out
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: Wednesday so we need to walk out some stuff until
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: people get healed and people get delivered that's why the
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: devil hates you now I learned way more from my
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: spiritual father in his times of grief, in his times
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: of loss, in his times of testing and trial. I
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: learned way more than I did in his times of success.
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: I watched him suffer. I watched him go through turmoil.
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: I watched him go through all kinds of stuff. And
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: I thought, Lord, have mercy at the things I got
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: to see because when you get close enough to somebody
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: that you can see their wounds, That's what makes Thomas believe. Oh,
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: y'all don't hear what I'm saying. When you see their wounds, see,
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: you're trying to see their face, but you need to
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: see their wounds. Blessed are they who have not seen,
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: but yet they believe. But Thomas believed because he saw
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: Jesus' wounds. Jesus didn't hide his wounds from Thomas. He
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: showed him his wounds because his wounds was his deed
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: of trust. It was his signature. It was his authenticity.
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: It was his absolute proof that he was the same
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: Jesus that was on the cross. And he said, let
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: me show you my scars, not my stars. Let me
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: show you my scars. the fact that I'm still here.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: I've been wounded, I've been depressed, I cried myself to sleep,
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: but I'm still here. And I got favor, even when
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: it doesn't look like I got favor, I got favor
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: to be here. I got favor to still be standing.
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: I got favor to be in my right mind. Somebody
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: get an ass and settle the ass because I got
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: somewhere to go. I got somewhere to go because I'm
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: not going to let the devil talk me into thinking
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: that I'm cursed. Some of you have allowed the devil
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: to make you think there's a curse on your life
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: because you judge favor by your condition. But you need
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: to judge favor by your position. Your condition is going
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: to change all the time, but your position is going
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: to stay the same. I'm still his child. If I'm broke,
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: I'm his child. If I'm prodigal, I'm his child. If
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: I'm in the hog pen, I'm his child. If I'm lonely,
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: I'm his child. If I'm backed up against the wall,
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: I'm his child. That's why you got to be careful
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: about doing something to me because I'm his child. Saul
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: was wrong as rain, but David said, I'm not going
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: to touch God's anointing. He's still anointed even though he's
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: wrong and stubborn. And even though he tried to kill me,
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: I still respect the anointing that is on his life.
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: I'm talking about being favored in a bad situation. Oh God,
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: I hope somebody's watching. On the screen. I hope somebody's
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: hearing what I'm saying to you. The devil's trying to
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: talk you out of your favor and make you think
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: that God don't love you. And you're claiming that you're
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: living up under a generational curse. You're all under the
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: curse because you said you were. If you talk the curse,
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: you're going to live in the curse. But if you
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: talk the blessing, you're going to live in the blessing. Oh,
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: you're the type of a liar. I'm still favored. I
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: might be in a bad season, but I'm still favored.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: My roof might be leaking, but I'm still favored. They
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: may have repossessed my car, but I'm still favored. Watch me.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: I'll get me another car. I'll come back around again.
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: I'll buy me another house. I'll get myself together. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: Because a righteous man will fall seven times. But he
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: keeps on getting up. Glory to God. And just because
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: you caught me while I was on the ground don't
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: mean I'm not going to get back up again. Glory
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: to God. The favor of God is not based on
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: my condition. It is based on my position. My position
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: is secure. In him I live. In him I move. Oh,
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: let me stop. I'm going too far. Let me stop.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: Let me pull myself off that text. My God, I
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: start a fight in here right now. You can't tell
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: me I'm not favored. I've been through too much not
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: to know that I'm favored. I've suffered too many things
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: not to know that I'm favored. I've survived too many
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: things not to know that I'm favored. I'm not perfect,
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: but I'm favored. I'm not always prayerful, but I'm favored.
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: I'm not always in God's will, but I'm favored. There's
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: a favor that rests on me that's different from anybody
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: else in the world. I ain't jealous of nobody. I
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: ain't got to go see anybody's king. I dwell amongst
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: my own people. I know who I am. I'm favored.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: The woman said, I ain't got no child, but I'm
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: still favored. I don't need nothing. I don't need a thing.
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: Look at how she saw herself. Look at her self-talk.
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: Look at how she talked to herself. Well, why are
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: you talking to yourself some other kind of way? She
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: could have been complaining, I don't have no child. I
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: got all of this house. and I don't have no child.
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: She said, I don't need nothing. I don't need to
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: go to the king. I don't need to borrow your favor.
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: I don't need your influence. I got my own stuff.
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: I dwell amongst my own people. I know who I am.
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: I don't need you to tell me who I am.
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: I don't need a title. I don't need a license.
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: I don't need a decree. I don't need you to
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: believe I'm a preacher. You can say I'm not a
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: preacher all you want. There are preachers that don't do
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: nothing but talk about other preachers. You have never heard
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: me get up in the pulpit and give God's pulpit
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: over to talking about another preacher because God didn't call
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: me to talk about preachers. He called me to talk
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: about him. And I'm not going to get in God's
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: holy pulpit and start talking about people. Because the one
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: you're talking about today, you're going to mess around and
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: need tomorrow. Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy.
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: Lord have mercy. Don't you feel that favor? The favor
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: is coming off this stage. It's sliding down into the pews.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: It's getting in the house. It's coming out of my mouth.
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: It's coming out of my spirit. It's coming out of
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: my body. I don't have to have no help. I
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: don't necessarily have to have no organ. The favor isn't
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: coming out of the drums. It's coming out of me.
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: I had favor in the storefront. I had favor when
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: I didn't have money. I had favor when I had
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: to hitch a ride to teach Bible class. But when
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: I got to the class, I still had favor. Didn't
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: I have favor? Didn't I have favor? Long time ago.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: Long time ago. On food stamps, I had favor. Back
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: against the wall, I had favor. Favor don't have nothing
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: to do with your bank account. Favor has something to
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: do with your soul account. I got favor. Favor, you
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: can't see it. And this is how you're gonna walk
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: it out. You're gonna walk in your favor. You're gonna
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: walk in your favor but you're gonna understand that your
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: favor does not exempt you from life. People gonna hurt you.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: The fact that the boy died doesn't take away from
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: the fact that God gave her the boy. It wasn't
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: a mistake. He died. Excuse me. He was grown, but
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: he died. He lived a long life. Devil, you ain't
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: going to get this. I'm going to keep on going.
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: If I have to sneeze every sentence, I'm going to
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: keep on going. He still had faith up. She got
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: to see him grow up. She got to see him
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: turn into a grown man. He didn't die till he
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: was grown. Still it's favor from God. There is always
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: something to be thankful for. There's always something to be
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: grateful for. You have to choose what you're going to
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: look at. It's the way you tell your story to
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: yourself that's making you sick. that's making you mad, that's
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: making you frustrated. I can take the same story and
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: spin it around and show you God. We could be
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: at hell's kitchen and I'll still show you God. You
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: can make your bed in hell and I'll still show
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: you God. You can be sick with leukemia and I'll
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: still show you God. You can be blind and can't see,
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: and I'll still show you God. Blind Bartimaeus couldn't see
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: a thing, but he heard Jesus was passing by. I
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: thank God for good ears. My eyes might be bad,
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: but my ears are still good. And faith comes by hearing,
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: and hearing by the Word of God. I'm not supposed
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: to walk by sight. It depends on what you say
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: to yourself, what you get. Tell your neighbor, I got favor. Amen.
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: I still got favor. I might be in a bad season,
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: but I got favor. I may be knocked down to
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: my knees, but I got favor. I may have to
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: crawl across the floor, but I got favor. I may
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: be lied on, but I still got favor. I may
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: be in the hog pen, but I still got favor.
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: The prodigal son had enough favor to know he could
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: still go back home. He'd been with the harlots. He
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: had spent all his money. He was broke. He had
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: disgraced his father, but he said, I will arise and
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: go to my father's house. He never for a moment
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: thought his father wouldn't take him back because he knew
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: even in his mess, he was still his son. He said,
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: I'm no more worthy to be called my son, but
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: I'm still your son. Make me a hired servant. I'm
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: coming home. It was favor that brought him back home.
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: It was favor that brought him to his senses. It
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: was favor that stopped him from eating with the swine.
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: It was favor that caused him to survive enough to
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: get back to his father's house. It was favor that
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: made them kill the fatty calf. And you know why
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: they killed the fatty calf? Because without the shedding of blood,
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: there is no remission of sin. It wasn't that they
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: killed the calf just so they could throw a party.
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: Something had to die so something could live. I heard
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: the father.
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: I heard the father say this my son that was
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: dead is alive again and the sacrifice came when they
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: killed the fatted calf that calf died that the son
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: might live and he kept on walking and that's what
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: you got to do you got to keep on walking
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: When you feel good, when you don't feel good, you
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: got to keep on walking. Hallelujah. This is walking out Wednesday.
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: Somebody ought to take a little walk and let the
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: devil know I'm going to keep on walking. If the
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: kids don't call, if the car don't start, if I
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: have to move in the garage, I'm going to keep
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: on walking. If I have to get a part-time job,
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: if I have to flip hamburgers, I'm going to keep
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: on walking. I got favor, favor in my hands, favor
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: in my feet. I got favor all over me. I
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: said I got favor all over me. Somebody give me
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: 30 seconds of crazy praise. Crazy, no, no, crazy praise.
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: This is what I wanted you to see. This is
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: what I wanted you to get out of the text.
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: That just because you have favor doesn't mean that your
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: life always goes right. Doesn't mean that you win every battle.
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: Doesn't mean that everybody believes in you and everybody receives you.
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: They hated Jesus. They conspired against him. They tried to
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: make his life a living hell, but he kept on walking.
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: They despised him. They called him Beelzebub. They said he
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: was a wine giver, but he kept on healing the
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: sick and raising the dead. You think the victory is
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: to change somebody's mind about you. Let them think whatever
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: they want to. think. Let them say whatever they want
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: to say. If you got the favor of God, that's
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: something you can't take from me. God has anointed me
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: to do this and come hell or high water. If
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: I get ready to do this, can't nobody stop me.
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: If I get ready, I get ready.
• 49:40
  Speaker 7: If I decide to open my mouth, the power of God,
• 49:45
  Speaker 7: the power The power, the power.
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: Now I want you to sit down, sit down. I'm
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: just talking to you. I'm supposed to be teaching. But
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: I got this little preach on me right now. I'm
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: trying to calm it down. I'm trying to teach, but
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: I feel some stirring up in my belly. God Almighty. Hallelujah.
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: Are there any mamas in the house?
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: What would you do if your child died on your lap?
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: Died right on your lap. And even then she took
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: him up and laid him in the bed. She didn't
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: bury him. She didn't plan no funeral. She laid him
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: in the bed and got on an ass that says,
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: slack not that bitty. And I told you donkeys don't
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: even move fast. She must've been kicking the donkey. Because
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: when I'm after something, don't get in my way. I said,
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: when I'm after something, don't get.
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: In my way.
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: If I decide I'm going after something, you better move.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: You better do stuff you don't normally do. If you're
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: going to stick with me, you got to move. I
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: don't care what your nature is. I don't care what
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: your mood is. If you're going to be with me,
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: you got to go. Because I'm going somewhere. The favor
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: of God is on me from hell or high water.
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: If I tell you.
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: Now look at this. She went to the man of God.
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: The prophet said God had hid it from me. So
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: you can be a true prophet and still not see everything.
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: You can be a prophet of God and God hide
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: certain things from you. God is not going to explain
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: himself to you. He is not going to show you everything.
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: Some things are going to catch you off guard, even
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: though you're a prophet. Prophet enough to speak the child
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: into existence, but not prophet enough to see that he
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: was dead. Are you hearing the oxymoron between the two things?
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: Because when I'm on, I'm on. But when I'm off,
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: I'm just a person. And the Lord has hid it
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: from me. And then he says, Gehazi, take my rod
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: and go, you mean I have walked, I have rode
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: all the way up here on the back of a
• 53:07
  Speaker 5: donkey to see you and you sent your servant with
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: your rod? You didn't come yourself? I came to see you.
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: When I saw your servant, I said, it is well.
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: Which as you know, I didn't come here to talk
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: to none of your minions. I went back to the source.
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: Sometimes you got to go back to the source. You
• 53:35
  Speaker 5: can't go to the armor bearer. You got to go
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: to the source. The one who said it in the
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: first place. And when she made it to the one
• 53:43
  Speaker 5: who said it in the first place, he sent the
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: servant with his rod and he failed. Can you imagine
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: what the devil said to her? Who are you faithful now?
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: The rod must not have no power in it. It
• 54:05
  Speaker 5: didn't work. Gehazi came back and told Elisha, I tried it.
• 54:11
  Speaker 5: It didn't work. Boy still did. Time is passing. He
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: then got hard and cold. He stiffed. rigor mortis has
• 54:24
  Speaker 5: set in but his mama still believing you went through
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: a bankruptcy but you still believing somebody living in the
• 54:34
  Speaker 5: house got repossessed but you still believing you hear what
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: I'm talking about you still believing that's what I'm talking
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: about that's how you walk it out you walk it
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: out by faith you walk it out by believing God Yes,
• 54:53
  Speaker 5: there are going to be voices that come up in
• 54:55
  Speaker 5: your head and say you are a fool. Yes, there
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: are going to be voices that come up in your
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: head and challenge your faith and say it didn't work.
• 55:05
  Speaker 5: You've been feeding this prophet, you built a room for
• 55:08
  Speaker 5: this prophet, and it didn't work. That word will leap
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: over top of the fact that the prophet spoke the
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: boy into existence. It will leap over top of the
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: fact that the boy lived to be a grown man
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: And it will, see, you got to understand something. You
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: can do 10 things right and do one thing wrong
• 55:30
  Speaker 5: and people will forget everything you did right and throw
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: it away over one thing they heard. Don't you, don't
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: you count on flesh. Because they'll say Hosanna today and
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: crucify him in the morning. They will change on you
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: in a minute, leave you standing by yourself. Of course
• 55:51
  Speaker 5: she had voices saying, look at this. But Elijah said,
• 55:56
  Speaker 5: I'm going myself. And Elijah didn't even use his rod.
• 56:03
  Speaker 5: He got on top of the corpse. The corpse, a
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: deteriorating corpse has so much fungus and bacteria on it
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: that they used to tie people to corpses as punishment
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: for murder until the infection from the corpse got into
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: the murderer and killed him. And Elijah laid on top
• 56:33
  Speaker 5: of something that should have killed him. But because he
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: was stronger than the bacteria, He was stronger than the fungus.
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: He was stronger than the molecules. He was stronger than
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: the infection. He was stronger than the disease. Either he
• 56:51
  Speaker 5: was gonna get cold like the courts, or the courts
• 56:54
  Speaker 5: was gonna get warm like him. And that's why I
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: can walk with the ungodly, because I know who I am.
• 57:01
  Speaker 5: And I'm going to have more influence over you than
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: you have on me. I'm not going to get cold
• 57:07
  Speaker 5: because you cold. I don't have to hide from you.
• 57:10
  Speaker 5: I don't have to practice witchcraft because you a witch.
• 57:13
  Speaker 5: I can walk right through the witches. You can get
• 57:17
  Speaker 5: your roots out and I'll get mine out because I
• 57:20
  Speaker 5: got the root of Jesse and I got the seed
• 57:23
  Speaker 5: of Abraham and I got the power of the living God.
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: I ain't scared of you. And so the Bible takes
• 57:38
  Speaker 5: the time to tell you that the flesh of the
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: boy waxed warm because it is implying that it was cold.
• 57:49
  Speaker 5: That means when Elijah laid on him, he was cold.
• 57:53
  Speaker 5: And if you ever touch a dead body, you know
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: what I'm talking about. He's cold. If the body is cold,
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: he's also stiff. There's no movement. There's no action. There's
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: no noise. There's no leaping of the hands. There's no
• 58:06
  Speaker 5: jumping of the feet. There's certainly no sneezing. But he
• 58:15
  Speaker 5: progressively got better. Nobody knew he was warming up but Elijah.
• 58:26
  Speaker 5: Because you can't see temperature. And the Bible said he,
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: oh God. I don't need to be up here tonight, y'all,
• 58:36
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I'm messing up to walk it out on Wednesday.
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: The Bible said that he started sneezing. That was an
• 58:47
  Speaker 5: outer sign of an inner change. The Watson warm was
• 58:52
  Speaker 5: just a secret between the prophet and the body. And
• 58:56
  Speaker 5: nobody knew that the temperature was changing. There are some
• 58:59
  Speaker 5: of you, your circumstance still looks the same, but you
• 59:03
  Speaker 5: can feel a change in the temperature. You can feel
• 59:06
  Speaker 5: a change in the temperature. And I came to serve notice.
• 59:09
  Speaker 5: on you that you're not wrong about it. It may
• 59:13
  Speaker 5: not move yet. It may not make any noise yet,
• 59:17
  Speaker 5: but if you feel it getting warm, believe what you feel. Goodbye!
• 59:22
  Speaker 5: Bible said the flesh of the boy waxed warmer and
• 59:28
  Speaker 5: the prophet just kept on laying there out the wire.
• 59:33
  Speaker 5: He sneezed. And he sneezed seven times. And on the
• 59:47
  Speaker 5: seventh time, which is the number of completion, it was over.
• 59:52
  Speaker 5: But what I want you to see is not the promise.
• 59:57
  Speaker 5: It's the process. How hard the process was. The process
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 5: had disappointment in it. The process had failure in it.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 5: The process had disillusionment in it. The process had disappointment
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 5: in it. But she kept on walking. Just because you
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 5: didn't get what you want the way you envisioned it
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 5: when you thought it was going to come out a
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 5: certain way doesn't mean it's not going to happen. God
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 5: is teaching you to be tough. God is teaching you
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 5: to be relentless. God is teaching you. See, having the
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 5: baby was easy. She didn't have to work to have
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 5: the baby. It was fun having the baby. She didn't
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 5: have to believe God to have the baby. The prophet
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 5: just spoke it and said about this time next year
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 5: the baby's going to come. Nothing was required of her
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 5: to birth the baby except to push. But when he died,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: the work moved from the prophet to the woman. and
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: the woman had to believe God in the face of failure.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 5: I wish I was preaching to somebody that's standing in
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: the face of failure. I hope somebody's online that's standing
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 5: in the face of failure. God's got you online tonight.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 5: It's your night. He's got you listening at this word
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 5: to let you know that you're in the process. You're
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 5: not in the promise yet, but you're in the process.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 5: You learn more about God in the process than you
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 5: do in the promise. God will take care of the
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 5: promise all by himself, but the process is for your edification.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 5: The process is for your anointing. The process is for
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 5: your strength. The process is to make you tenacious. The
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 5: process is raising you. He's maturing you. He's fathering you.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 5: He's mothering you. He's adopting you. Hallelujah. The Bible said
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 5: that the whole earth will groan and prevail in pain.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 5: waiting for the adoption to wit. The whole process was
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 5: in turmoil, and we're living in a world that's bubbling
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 5: right now. It's in turmoil right now. It's rocking and
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 5: reeling right now. Everything is shaking right now. See, I
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: was at Katrina. It wasn't the rain or the wind
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 5: that killed the people in Katrina. It was when the
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 5: levees broke. When the foundations started cracking, that's when the
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 5: water got bad and people started drowning in the water
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 5: and the alligators and the snakes started moving through the water.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 5: And I'm watching our foundations crack. Our foundations are cracking.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 5: Our foundations are cracking. And a thousand may fall at
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 5: my right side and 10,000 may fall on my left side.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 5: But I refuse to lay down and tell myself that
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 5: I got to be one of them. It might be
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 5: somebody that go, but it ain't got to be me.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 5: Because greater is he that is in me than he
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 5: that's in the world. Clap your hands and praise him.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 5: Give me one of them questions. Before I have a
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 5: fit up here and roll down this aisle. and start
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 5: dancing in the middle of the aisle. Because I feel
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 5: an unction in here. I feel a power in here.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 5: I feel a flow in here. I feel a divine
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 5: move of God in here. Come on, shout yes, somebody.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 6: Shout yes! Shout yes!
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 7: Shout yes!
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 5: Here's the question. I love this question. Because of the
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: trauma that happened in my past, how can I ever
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 5: see myself as worthy of God's oil? Sweetheart, let me
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 5: tell you something. If you didn't have no trauma in
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 5: your past, you still wouldn't be worthy of God's oil.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 5: God does not give us his oil because we are worthy.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: The woman had the alabaster box and it was filled
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 5: with spignard, which is a fine Indian perfume. The alabaster
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 5: box was designed for the richest of ointments because it
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 5: held the smell on the inside. The oil is in
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 5: the container. and the container is wrapped around the oil.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 5: And in spite of how strong the oil was, it
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 5: never changed the container. Y'all don't hear what I'm saying,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: that's gonna hit you tomorrow morning. We have this treasure
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 5: in earthen vessels that the excellency may be of God
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 5: and not of us. I don't care how anointed you get,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 5: your flesh is still flesh. You don't believe it, just
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 5: stop bathing. You don't believe it, just don't put on deodorant.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 5: Don't brush your teeth in the morning. Your flesh is
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: still flesh. Anointed, bad breath-spelling, musty-armed flesh. But it's still
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 5: got oil in there. And I can still cast out
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: a devil with bad breath. Because one thing don't have
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 5: nothing to do with the other. That that is alabaster
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 5: is alabaster. And that that is spignard is spignard. And
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 5: don't get confused. The problem with the church is we
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 5: think that if we have the spignard long enough, it
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: will change the alabaster. But it won't. The woman broke
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 5: the alabaster. And it shattered on the floor. And the
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 5: spignard changed the whole room. but it didn't change the alabaster.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 5: We have this treasure in earthen vessels, but having the
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 5: treasure in earthen vessels does not change the vessel. But
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 5: when he shall appear, mortality shall put on immortality. All
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: this Holy Ghost I got on the inside is not
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 5: gonna change my mortal body. Oh, but when he appears,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 5: it's going to change everything. And when it does change it,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 5: it's not going to be because I'm worthy. So the
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 5: devil is trying to convince you that the trauma is
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 5: stronger than grace. So what I want you to understand
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 5: is God said, my strength is made perfect in your weakness.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 5: When you are weak, then am I strong. So I
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 5: want you to let go of the idol of your trauma.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 5: Because you have made your trauma a God in your life.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 5: And you are saying, how can I receive the oil
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 5: when I had the trauma of my past as if
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: the trauma was stronger than the triumphant? And by the way,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 5: Everybody in here had trauma in the past. Everybody in here,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 5: me first, I'm first one in line. Paul said, I'm
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 5: chiefest amongst sinners. We're not here because we are worthy
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 5: of God's soul. I'm not preaching because I'm worthy to
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 5: preach the gospel. In fact, I told God when he
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 5: called me, I said, you sure ain't getting nothing. I said,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 5: you sure? You sure about this? Let's talk about this
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 5: because this don't make sense. You must have been talking
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 5: to one of my neighbors. Because I know, I know,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 5: I know you ain't talking to me. Because I had
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 5: no plans of doing this. I'd have opened up a
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 5: club before I'd have done this. Look, look, this is
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 5: not a good idea. But God, who is rich in mercy,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 5: wherein he hath loved us, hath chosen us. Are there
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 5: any chosen people in here? You're chosen. You're chosen. And
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 5: it has nothing to do with your worthiness. Now, you
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 5: may have to hear this over and over again to
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 5: treat your trauma. To treat your trauma, you have to
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 5: say this until it gets in your mouth. My mouth
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 5: is not strong enough to heal your trauma. Because your
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 5: trauma will not lose its grip until your mouth starts
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 5: confessing with your mouth the Lord Jesus. When you start
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 5: confessing with your mouth the Lord Jesus more than you
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 5: confess the past trauma, the trauma will have to let
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 5: you go. And it's going to be gradual. It's going
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 5: to wax warm. It ain't going to be red hot.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 5: It's going to wax warm. Every birthday it's going to
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 5: get a little warmer. Where are my real people at?
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 5: All the real people know how long it takes you
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 5: to get past your past. And you're still working on it.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 5: Because every now and then something triggers you and you
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 5: snap back to where you were. Can we be real?
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 5: Can we be real in here? Can we be real
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 5: in here? This is what gets me in trouble. Because
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 5: some of these churches try to pass themselves off as
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 5: something they are not. There are no perfect churches. And
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 5: if you find one and go in there, then it's
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 5: not going to be perfect. And you let people stand
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 5: up and tell you stuff that's completely contrary to the scriptures.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 5: When the scriptures said there is none good but the Father.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 5: None righteous, no not one. And you let them get
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 5: up and parade around in suits and tell you how
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 5: righteous they are and how righteous their church is and
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 5: everybody dancing and shouting and you feeling all bad. Don't
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 5: let the dance fool you. It's still feet of clay
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 5: We see through a glass darkly, but then face to face.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 5: Next question. Why is it that oftentimes God doesn't give
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 5: us the details of the promise that he has for us?
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 5: The death of her son in the story. Well, Lord.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 5: Now let's play this back. Let's play this back and
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 5: let's rewrite the text because we rewrite history anyway. So
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 5: let's rewrite the text to go along with your thesis. Okay,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 5: great woman of God who has been a blessing to
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 5: my prophet over and over again and built him a room.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: I am going to give you a child and he
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 5: is going to grow up and die in your lap.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 5: she couldn't handle the truth. Every time the boy took
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 5: a nap, she'd be in the room saying, you breathing?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 5: God gives you what you can handle. God, it's not
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 5: God's job to let you in on details because if
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 5: you're gonna walk by faith, faith don't give you details.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 5: Abraham said, me and the lad are going yonder to
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 5: worship and we will come back again. But he didn't
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 5: know how. He was going to stab that boy. He
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 5: raised his knife to stab his son, expecting God to
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 5: raise him up. God was going to raise up a son,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 5: but it wasn't Abraham's son. God never told Abram that
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 5: he had a ram in the thicket until Abram had
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 5: raised his hand to kill his son. And then when
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 5: he raised his hand, God said, now I know. See,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 5: I couldn't find out if I'd have given you all
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 5: the details because you would have known this was just
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 5: a dress rehearsal. But I wanted you to walk all
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 5: the way up on the hill fully persuaded that you
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 5: were going to offer him up as a burnt offering.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 5: A burnt offering, not just a slain offering, but a
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 5: burnt offering was where all the blood drained down into
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 5: a pan and the flesh was set on fire and
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 5: it was his son. Can you imagine? I would act
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 5: like I was deaf. I'd say, what you say? What
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 5: you say? I can't hear like I used to hear.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 5: What you say? You want me to raise a knife
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 5: and slay my son and let the pan catch his
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 5: blood and then take the wood? Daddy, I see the knife. Daddy,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 5: I see the wood. The knife represents his judgment. The
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 5: wood represents the cross. Yes. That's why Isaac had to
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 5: carry the wood because he's acting out how Jesus is
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 5: going to carry the cross. Y'all don't hear what I'm
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 5: saying to you? Do you hear what I'm saying to you?
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 5: And he's carrying the wood and he said, Daddy, I
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 5: see the knife and I see the wood, but I
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 5: don't see the sacrifice. But what he didn't know is
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 5: that right over his shoulder, God had a ram tied up.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 5: What God got for you is tied. What God got
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 5: for you is tied in the thicket. And you're not
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 5: supposed to see it right now. Or you wouldn't need faith.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 5: For faith is the substance of things hoped for and
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 5: the evidence of things not seen. I'm going to do
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 5: one more. How do you maintain faith when evidence contradicts
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 5: the promise? It's supposed to. That's why you got faith.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 5: If the evidence agreed with the promise, if a man,
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 5: let me put it to you the way Scripture said,
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 5: if a man seeth that which he hopes for, why
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 5: does he yet hope for it? It wouldn't be silly
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 5: for me to be standing up here saying, I believe
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 5: God to let me walk. Because I can walk. Now
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 5: if I was paralyzed from the waist down, now the
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 5: evidence is defying the faith and the faith becomes the
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 5: substance of the thing that I hope for. But if
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 5: I see that which I hope for, why would I
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 5: yet hope for it? So God doesn't always show you
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 5: everything to perfect your faith. So you don't ruin things.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 5: So you don't meddle with things. I was praying for
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 5: one of my children one time. I was praying because
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 5: they were going through something and I didn't want them
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 5: to go through nothing. And I was praying and I
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 5: was praying and it was hard. It wasn't no little something.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 5: It was a big old something. And God said to me,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 5: when are you going to learn that I know how
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 5: to raise your children better than you? When are you
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 5: going to learn then I'm better at being a father
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 5: than you. No, I'm not going to tell you how
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 5: I'm going to do it. I'm not going to tell
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 5: you when I'm going to do it. I'm not going
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 5: to tell you how long you got to wait. I'm
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 5: not going to tell you what you got to go through.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 5: I mean for you to suffer with it. I mean
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 5: for you to sweat till drops of blood come out.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 5: I mean for you to rock them in your arms
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 5: and hold them. Because I'm bonding you through the trouble.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 5: I'm shaping you through the trouble. I'm perfecting you through
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 5: the trouble. I'm using the trouble to bless you. And
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 5: if I did it like you want me to do it,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 5: you want me to do it like instant grits. Now,
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 5: most of you young people, that's all y'all know is
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 5: instant grits. But these old folks know how long you
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 5: had to cook them old grits. You had to put
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 5: them grits on low and you had to wait a
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 5: long time before they bubbled. And you had to get
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 5: them right and put a little cream in them, a
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 5: little carnation milk in it and let it bubble up.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 5: Come on, talk to me, somebody. And drop a little
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 5: butter over it and a little salt water and let
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 5: it stir up. And you had to stand there like
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 5: your grandmama and stir it. And you remember how her
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 5: arm was all fat and it'd be stirring up them grits?
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 5: Come on, somebody. See you used to instant grits. There
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 5: is no instant Jesus. Because it is the journey that
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 5: defines him. When I walked up Del Rosa up the
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 5: cobblestone streets of Jerusalem and imagine in my mind that
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 5: I'm walking on the same bricks that Jesus walked up.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 5: And I noticed that God didn't just put him on
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 5: the cross. He let him walk it out. With the
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 5: wood on his back so heavy that it bent over.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 5: And then touched Simon of Cyrene to help him lift
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 5: up the cross.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 8: Amen.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 5: Because Simon was there for that one moment. For that
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 5: one moment. And God will raise you up for one moment.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 5: One moment. He will put you up for one moment.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 5: He will put you in a position to change somebody's life.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 5: He raised you up and put you in that position
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 5: to do one thing. Other people he's going to use
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 5: for many years. Some people he's going to use for
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 5: a moment. One man's on the cross and God used
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 5: him for one moment to say, remember me when you
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 5: get to the kingdom. Remember me doesn't mean I think
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 5: you got Alzheimer's. Remember me. As often as you do this,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 5: do this in remembrance of me. So he had one
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 5: loaf of bread. And last supper, I got to quit.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 5: He had one loaf of bread. I don't have to quit.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 5: So he had one loaf of bread. Say I had
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 5: one loaf of bread. And I give you a piece.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 5: And I give you a piece. Give you a piece.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 5: Give you a piece. Give you a piece. Give you
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 5: a piece. Give you a piece. Give you a piece.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 5: You a piece. And you a piece. And I say read.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 5: Remember me then all y'all got to come together Come
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 5: on Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 5: on That's how you remember Him you remember him because
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 5: there are many members in the body. Come on somebody.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 5: I many members in one body how can the foot
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 5: say to the head I have no need of him
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 5: that lets you know what God means when God says
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 5: remember are you hearing what I'm saying bow your heads
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 5: let me pray for you you're watching online bow your
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 5: heads I want to pray for you I want to
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 5: pray for you because God has said some serious things
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 5: to you I hope you took some notes Not just
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 5: of what I said, but of things that God said
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 5: to you about what I said. He spoke to specific
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 5: situations that are going on in your life right now.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 5: And he's telling you not to bury your dreams. And now, tonight,
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 5: he's telling you how. He's telling you how to put
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 5: the bread back together. He's showing you how not to
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 5: let discouragement deter your destinations. He's giving you the courage
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 5: to fight on. Though the vision tarry, wait for it. Father,
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 5: as we bow our heads tonight, oh God, we bow
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 5: our heads in an uncertain world, at a crazy time,
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 5: when the world is in turmoil, chaos is everywhere. We
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 5: bow our heads at a time that our government has
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 5: shut down. We bow our heads at a time that
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 5: thousands of people don't have a job. We bow our
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 5: heads at a time that hatred is rising up like
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 5: the rain and peaking in our neighborhoods. We bow our
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 5: heads at a time that the riverbed is dry And
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 5: there is no water there. We bow our heads at
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 5: a time that we can't sleep all the way through
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 5: the night without trouble waking us up and troubling our
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 5: spirits for we know not whether the levies will hold.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 5: We don't know if the dam will break. We don't
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 5: know if we will be swimming with alligators or waiting
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 5: on rooftops. We don't know. We bow our heads. We
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 5: bow our heads to say you're bigger than us. You're
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 5: greater than us. You're stronger than us. You got more
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 5: power than us. You see stuff we don't see. We
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 5: bow our heads because we brought our little staff down
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 5: there and it didn't work. This is a job for you.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 5: In my marriage, in my home, in my body, In
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 5: my own mind, this is a job for you. We
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 5: bow our heads like children and ask you simple stuff like,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 5: show me how to think right. Help my thinking to
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 5: get right. Some of us have inherited the thinking of
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 5: our parents and our ancestors. We've adopted worry and we
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 5: don't know where it came from. But we're going to
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 5: divorce it tonight. We're going to dismember it tonight. And
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 5: we're going to practice thinking on whatsoever things are lovely
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 5: and are of good report. If there be any virtue.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 5: If there be any praise. Help us to think on
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 5: this thing. I'm asking you to be my therapist. Would
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 5: you please be our counselor? Be our master physician. We
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 5: all dress up. We don't want nobody to know we're sick.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 5: We don't want them to know that we're cold and stiff.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 5: That the love of many has waxed cold. That we've
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 5: become indifferent that we are not passionate about you like
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 5: we used to be. And we miss the fire we
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 5: used to have that made us come to church, that
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 5: made us rush out of the car to get in
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 5: the house of God to praise your name. We want
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 5: to walk through the house talking to you like you
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 5: live with us. We open ourselves up to be reshaped
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 5: because we have been marred in the hand of the potter.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 5: We're in your hands, but we're cracked in your hands.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 5: Make us again another vessel that seems good to the
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 5: potter to make it. We thank you tonight because all
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 5: around this room, like seeds planted in Mama's garden, there
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 5: are dreams all around this room. Dreams that have died
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 5: in our life. Dreams that have embarrassed us in front
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 5: of our friends. Dreams that have brought shame and guilt
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 5: and turmoil. Dreams that we have not planted, that we
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 5: have not trusted you with. But you spoke to us
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 5: and told us don't bury our dream. You never said
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 5: don't plant it. You just said don't bury it. Tonight,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 5: let the seeds push their way up through the sod
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 5: until a green leaf appears out of the dirt. The
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 5: dirt will still be the dirt, but you will use
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 5: it to feed the leaf. And neither one will change colors.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 5: but both of them are necessary in order for the
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 5: fruit to come. So I'm going to bloom right where
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 5: I'm planted.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 9: I'm going to stand right where I am and bloom
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 9: right in this spot. I thank you, God, for the
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 9: sweeping away of dark spirits, depressing spirits, antagonizing spirits. We
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 9: spent more time thinking about what might happen than we
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 9: spent thinking about you. We were of making idols out
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 9: of trauma. We spent more time looking up what could
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 9: happen than we have spent looking for you. but I
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 9: want to come back to you. Because in that presence,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 9: there is fullness of joy. And at that right hand,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 9: there are pleasures forevermore. And the things that used to
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 9: give me pleasure don't give me pleasure like they used to.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 9: So I'm running back to you. I'm running back to
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 9: you for the joy I could not find anywhere else.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 9: I pray right now that a spirit of repentance would
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 9: fall on this room until you become the ultimate priority
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 9: in our lives and not the newspaper and not the
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 9: news and not the times and not that problem child
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 9: and not that thing. We have spent our time that
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 9: we should have been praising you talking about stuff that
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 9: distracted us And then we wondered why we had no peace.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 5: Let peace emerge. Let it come in. Because when your
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 5: peace comes in, my creativity is loose. My innovation is loose.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 5: When your peace comes in, my power and my authority
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 5: is loose. When your peace comes in, it blocks the winches.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 5: It shuts down the warlocks. It destroys the curse. Let
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 5: curses be broken in this room tonight. Let curses be
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 5: broken online tonight. Let them be broken in people's living room,
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 5: in people's house, on their couch, on their bed, in
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 5: the dining room table right there. Let the curse be broken. Tonight,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 5: tonight I make a commitment I will not bury my dream.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 5: I shall not die, but live and declare the works
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 5: of the Lord. Now, Lord, while we are praying, while
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 5: we are yet praying, most of the time, we just
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 5: reach in and grab something and give it to you.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 5: We just do it. But while we are praying, we
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 5: want to give an acceptable offering in your sight. The
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 5: kind of offering that makes our baby sneeze. The kind
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 5: of offering that wakes up our peace and joy. The
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 5: kind of offering that will give us a good night's
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 5: sleep tonight. the kind of offering that will cause you
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 5: to show us the ram in the bush. There's a
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 5: ram right behind us. But until we lift our hands
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 5: to offer that that is most meaningful to us, we
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 5: will not receive that which is most meaningful to you.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 5: And so I think tonight, I don't give carelessly Or indifference.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 5: But with intentionality. I sow tonight. And Holy Ghost I
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 5: promise you. Whatever you say give. Whatever you ask of me.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 5: Whatever you speak in my spirit. Whatever you stir in
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 5: my soul. plant that tonight like it ain't nothing because
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 5: it is not worthy to be compared to what you
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 5: mean to me in Jesus name amen now priesthood that's
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 5: who you are you're a royal priest You're a holy nation.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 5: You are kings and priests under God. What say ye?
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 5: Whatever the Holy Spirit spoke to you, whether you're online,
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 5: whether you're miles away, whether you have a different currency,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 5: whether you're in a different time zone, it matters not.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 5: Show hell you are a priest of God and give
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 5: him an offering. according to his excellent greatness. I need
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 5: not give you a figure, because if you prayed with
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 5: me tonight from a sincere place, the Holy Spirit is
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 5: going to challenge your faith. You can't get this kind
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 5: of word and not have your faith challenged. There are
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 5: some things that money cannot buy. but I pray as
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 5: I give you what I have that you'll give me
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 5: what you have. And together, this service will be successful,
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 5: not because the bishop taught, but because the priesthood obeyed.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 5: Let the spirit of obedience rest in this house. As
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 5: I sow my seed, Unto the King of kings and
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 5: the Lord of lords. And do it with a smile.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 5: For God blesses the cheerful giver. The PMTs are in
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 5: the aisle. Preach to his stand and wave your sacrifice
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 5: before the king. Wave it before him. Because God has
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 5: been talking business to us tonight. God has done some
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 5: big stuff. He's healed some deep stuff. He's moved some
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 5: stuff that we've been struggling with a long time. And
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 5: as we wave the seed before you, we call it done.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 5: We call it done. I refuse to walk out of
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 5: this door being the same person I was when I
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 5: came in. Not after hearing this word. Not tonight. I
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 5: will not dismember your message with my carnality. Sow it now.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 5: Pass your seed. If you got a seed all the
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 5: way to the left, you online, you have an opportunity
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 5: to walk to the top of the mountain and give
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 5: your offering to God. This is not about YouTube and
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 5: Facebook and Instagram. This is about your walk with God
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 5: and where you stand with God. This is your covenant
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 5: with God. So do it as doing it unto the Lord.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 5: You that are holding those seeds in your hands, stand
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 5: with the praise of that makes hell nervous. PMTs, serve
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 5: the people of God. You've got a few minutes left
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 5: on air. Don't let this one pass you by. Tonight
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 5: was a special night. It had your name on it.
• 1:37:30

• 1:38:48
  Speaker 5: angry and fell out with people, and left. If there's
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 5: a sinner in this house that you know church but
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 5: you don't know Jesus, we're going to end this service
• 1:39:00
