  Speaker 1: I wish I had time to talk about time. What
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: do you do when the clock is against you and
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: you have enough wisdom to do it over but you
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: don't have enough time to do it over? What do
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: you do when you've missed your season and you've missed
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: your window of opportunity? What do you do when you
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: know that you've got the desire to do it and
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you've got the passion to do it but But you
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: look in the mirror and the wrinkles in your face
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and the sagging of your body indicates you don't have
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: time to do this all over again. She says, I
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: don't have time to get pregnant again. I don't have
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: a second chance at life. My life is over.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Go away. Don't hang around me.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I have nothing left to give. There are people that
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: when you start running out of time, you get bitter.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: You get desperate. You start pushing people away from you.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: because they're asking something of you that you don't think
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: you can give anymore. And you find yourself in a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: place of depletion, and it feels like God has forgotten you.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: But I remind you, nothing just happens. Greetings, brothers and sisters,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus Christ, our King. I am
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: so blessed and so excited to have the opportunity To
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: share the word with you. I'm excited about the word.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I still get excited about the word. Been preaching 37 years.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I still love his word. I love what it does
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: in your life and in your heart. I love how
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: it strengthens you. I love how it helps you.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: I've got a message that I believe you are going
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: to love.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Take a look. When we look at the theology in
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the book of Ruth, we know that the book of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Ruth is a template for a far larger issue. Loaded
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: with shadows and types, it brings to us significant issues
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: as it challenges us to understand that all of the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: characters in the book of Ruth are the backdrop for
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: historical data that points to a panoramic view of the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: life of Jesus Christ and the fulfillment of Jesus Christ.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And suddenly we begin to recognize that when we look
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: at a character like Elimelech, we are looking at a
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: relationship between him and his wife and how when Elimelech died,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Naomi became very, very bitter. And in the same sense,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Israel became very bitter if it lost relationship with Jehovah.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And and was widowed, as it were, and estranged a
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: castaway woman who had become very bitter because she was
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: denied relationship with Jehovah. And we see the two sons
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and seeing the splitting of the nation of Israel down
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to the tribe of Judah. And we begin to see
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: how they break and divide and then die. And through
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: their death and the famine thereof, we see Ruth, who
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: is a Moabite woman who is connected to them by
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: marriage and now her husband has died and she is
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: estranged and she goes back to Moab, goes back to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Bethlehem with Naomi, Ruth being a type of the church,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Naomi being a type of Israel, the church gets connected
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to God through Israel who walks her back home to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Boaz who is a type of Christ and Boaz who
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: stands there and sees Ruth over in the corner, gleaning
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: in the corners of the field, spies her and brings
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: her from the background to the forefront, covers her with
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: his skirts, makes her his wife, legitimizes her, authenticates her,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: causes her to be an heir of a grace of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: which she would have been estranged had her blood prevailed.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: But because his blood prevailed over her blood, he was
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: able to— it' s just a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful story. A famine
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: has arose in this text in a family who is
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: headed by Elimelech and they leave Bethlehem, the house of bread,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: because of the severity of the famine and they go
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to Moab. Everybody's running for their lives, running for their lives.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: They go into Moab. for survival's sake, thinking that they
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: were going to be there a short time, end up
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: being there 10 years. Elimelech is strong enough to get
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Naomi out of there with their two sons and get
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: them out of Bethlehem to Moab. But he dies in Moab.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: He dies in Moab. And now Naomi is widowed, surviving
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a famine. raising two sons in a foreign country, unable
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to get back home because of the famine, trying to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: survive against adversity, and then she loses her two sons.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Two sons. Now the woman has had a dead husband
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and now lost two sons. The husband you might tolerate,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you might say, well, he was up in years, he
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: was up in age. It makes sense. But to lose
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: two sons in the space of 10 years, she has
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: lost every man she has ever loved. Exasperated and frustrated,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: she makes up in her mind, this is enough for me.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: We're coming to the end of the famine. I want
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to go back home. There is nothing left for me.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: She makes a statement. She says, I went out full
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and I came back empty. In other words, there was
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a famine, but I was still blessed. It's amazing because
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: sometimes you cannot know you're blessed because you're going through
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: a famine. Only to find out that the thing that
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you were worried about is not nearly as significant as
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the thing that you had. In the midst of her famine,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: she still had her husband and her children. Sometimes you
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: can have something and not appreciate it until you lose it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: After that, she lost her husband and her children. The
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: famine seemed insignificant by comparison. I say that because sometimes
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you're whining about things that really don't matter. You're upset
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: about things that really don't make any difference in your life.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: And if you were smart, you would learn how to
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: count your blessings and to thank God for what he's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: done in your life. It looked like all hell had
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: broken loose in her life. The famine, who would have
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: thought that a famine would come and disrupt this relatively
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: wealthy family and cause them to flee like vagrants and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: move into Moab and uproot all of their heritage and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: leave their home and their surrounding and their friends and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: find themselves in Moab. Who would have thought that having
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: gone to Moab, that she would lose the husband she
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: was relying on to be her sustenance, her source, her
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: friend and her support. He died and left her there.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Who would have thought that having lost her husband, she
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: goes to rely on her sons and both, not one,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: but both sons die. Who would have thought that this
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: woman would end up in a female feminine trinity of
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: three women whose only thing that they now share in
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: common is that all of them have gone through death.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Three women, Naomi, who is the older woman, and Ruth,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: who was her daughter-in-law, and Orpah, who was her other daughter-in-law.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Three women whose commonality was pain. Pain is a strange
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: company keeper. It brings the oddest people together. There is
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a secret fraternity that exists amongst those who have been
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: in pain that is mind-boggling. It transcends the color of
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: your skin. It transcends your background. When you've been through
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: certain things, you feel for other people who have been
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: through those things because you relate to them. And so
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the women shared a tear together. They wept together. They
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: cried together. They shared pain together, they shared burial together,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: they shared their losses together, they shared their emptiness together
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and Naomi decided this is it, gotta split, I'm gonna quit,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I'm going back home where I came from, gotta go,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: can't take anymore, I'm going back home, I'm bitter but
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I'm going back home bitter, I'm frustrated but I'm going
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: back home and they fell on Naomi and began to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: weep because Naomi had left a significant impression on them
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden In the midst of this pain,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Naomi starts reasoning with him.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Stop crying.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Stop crying. I have no options. What am I going
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to do? She said, if I'm married today and had
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: more children, what are you going to do? Wait for
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the children to become grown that they might be your
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: husbands again? She says, I'm out of the game. The
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: clock is against me. Oh, I wish I had time.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: At this age, at this stage, there's a reason why
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: it happened at this age. There's a reason why it
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: happened at this level in life. It's not a mistake.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: It's not an accident. God didn't fall asleep on the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: job and the devil came in and wrecked the car. No,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: God never sleeps.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and he
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: knows about the health of your child, and he knows
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: about the condition of your neighborhood. Understand that and tell
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: yourself nothing just happens. And so Orpah walks away. She
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: walks away. I may have to turn this into a
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: series because I can't get out of this. Orpah walks
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: away and she cries and she goes back. And there
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: are people who can walk away from you. And hear
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: me when I tell you this. When people can walk
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: away from you, let them walk. When people can walk
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: away from you, let them walk. I can sit down now,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I preach. I can sit down. I don't need to
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: make an altar call or nothing. I don't have to hoop.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I don't have to make you shout. I have just
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: preached right now. When people can walk away from you,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: let them walk. I don't want you to try to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I mean hang up the phone. When people can walk
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: away from you, let them walk. Your destiny is never
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: tied to anybody that left. The Bible said that they
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: came out from us, that it might be made manifest
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: that they were not of us. For had they been
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of us, no doubt they would have continued with us.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: People leave you because they're not joined to you. And
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: if they're not joined to you, you get super glue
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: and you can't make them stay.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Let them go.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Ruth on the other hand, coming to the crossroads, she
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: looks at Orpah who left. Ruth turns to Naomi and says,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: as the Lord liveth, I shall.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Not leave thee.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Occasionally in scriptures and the whole Bible you see it,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: you see it happening where people who are not even
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: blood related spend their lives together in the most intimate
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: connection possible. And theologians and scholars and preachers stumble about
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: it because they don't know how to talk about it
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: because they don't understand the power being joined together. How
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: can we explain what made Elijah leave his natural mother
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and father and run after Elijah to wait on him?
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to clean his clothes, to pour water on his hand,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to set up his tent, but some kind of way
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Elisha sensed that his destiny was tied to Elijah. How
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: can we explain Timothy who walks away from everything that
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: he owns to hang out at the outside window of
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: a jail cell as an old man prepares to be beheaded.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: He peeks in the window, handing him books and blankets,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: ministering to him. The young man understood, I'll never be
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: who I was meant to be without you in my life.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Do you hear what I'm saying? There's something, there's something
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: about the way you talk It feeds me. It's something
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: about the way you speak that changes me. It's something
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: about your spirit that motivates me. And I'll never be
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: completed without you. And I didn't meet you by accident.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't stumble up and meet you. This didn't just happen.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: The reason that I'm in this place I'm so sick
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: of talking to people who think that everything just happened.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I guess I'll go to church. I guess I'll get saved.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I guess I'll move to Chicago. I guess I'll move
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: to Dallas. That's not how it is. The steps of
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: a good man are ordered by the Lord. Your steps
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: were ordered. If you hadn't got the phone call that
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: you got when you got like you got it, you
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: wouldn't even be here right now.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: If you hadn't have made.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: The turn that you made yesterday, you wouldn't experience what
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: you're experiencing today. God has been behind the curtain like
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: a puppet master pulling strings in your life. It's not
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: that you're smart. It's not that you're great. It's not
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: that you're holy. It's not that you're perfect. It's not
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: that you're good. But God winded you up pointed you
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: in the right direction, released you into your destiny, and
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you are here and you can't get away. Flop somebody
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: and tell them nothing just happens.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Still to come on The Potter's Touch.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Think about the most impoverished, financially depleting thing that ever
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: happened in your life and shout nothing. Think about the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: worst scandal that you ever went through in your life
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and shout nothing. Think about people who loved you and
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: walked out and left you and shout nothing. Think about
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: betrayal on the highest level of your life and shout nothing.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Think about the struggle going on on your job right
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: now and shout nothing.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: To live a satisfied, productive life, you must be filled
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: to capacity.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: God said there's no question. My seed is potent. My
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: word works.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: The question is, do you have the capacity to receive
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: my word?
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: For helping us reach others with your gift of any size,
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: you will receive Filled to Capacity on CD.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: He's not excessive without purpose. He's got something.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Inside of him.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: And out of the pregnancy of his own divinity, he
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: begins to speak things into existence.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: And when your gift is $ 70 or more, we will
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: give you both messages from Awakening on DVD as well.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Whatever you have a need for, God has a feeling for.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: He can fill your need.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: However, when your gift is $ 125 or more, we will
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: also add Sarah Jake's book, Colliding with Destiny, a 30-day
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: journey through the book of Ruth, and the Be Still Journal.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: Just write us, visit our website, or call 1-800-BISHOP-2.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: This means that I'm up under the banner of his will.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I'm up under the banner of his will. Even in
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: the midst of death, I'm up under the banner of
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: his will. Even in the midst of pain, I'm up
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: under the banner of his will. Even in the midst
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: of separation and disappointment, I'm up under the banner of
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: his will. Can I take it to the next level?
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Jonah was sent to Nineveh, went to Tarshish, headed for Tarshish.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: not obeying God, got thrown off the boat into the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: belly of the fish, swallowed up for three days. Even
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: though God told him to go to Nineveh and he
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: didn't go, he was still in the wheel. I'm not
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: sure you can handle this. He went the wrong way
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and he was still in the wheel. They threw him
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: off the boat. He was still in the wheel. I'll
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: prove to you he was in the wheel. It just
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: happened to be a big fish. See, it just happened
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: to be a big fish swimming beside the big boat
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: so that when men dumped him over, the fish just happened.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: This is too strong. You can't take this. The fish
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: carried him down to the bottom of the mountains with
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: seaweed wrapped around his neck. He's thousands of feet below
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: sea level and God sustained him.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Sustained him not one day.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Not two days, not four days, but three, three days.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Nothing just happens.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: On the third day, on the third day, The backslidden, rebellious, reprobate, disconnected,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: disjointed preacher comes up out of the water and thousands
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: of years later, Christ says, even as Jonah was in
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the belly of the fish, Three days, so shall the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Son of Man be.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: In the grave.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: He had to get up when he got up and
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: he had to go down when he went down because
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: nothing just happens.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Whoo! Oh, God, the bullshit.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: God, the bullshit. Your mistakes were in his will. Your
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: trouble was in his will. Your pain was in his will.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I don't care what you went through. David said, if
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I make my bed in hell, thou art there. If
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I take the wings of their mourning and ascend to
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the uttermost parts of the earth, God is still there.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: He was with you in the middle of your trouble.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: He was with you in the middle of your pain.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: That's why Paul said, I've learned whatever state I'm in,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: thou went to be content. I know how to be rich.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I know how to be poor. I know how to
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: be free. I know how to be back. You ought
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: to shout. I don't care where you are because nothing
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: just happens. Seven people tell him he's got a plan.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: He's got a plan.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Whatever God has predetermined to happen, whatever God has predetermined
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: to happen will come to pass. And no devil in
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: hell has ever been able to abort the purpose of
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: God not once. And yes, God gave you a human
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: will and you're a free moral agent, but if you
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: think that your human will is strong enough to change
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: His divine will, you are tripping. You are out of
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: your mind. God is God. The reason we worship Him
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: as God is because He is the CEO. He is
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: in charge. He runs the universe. And when God gets
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: ready to make you, and when God gets ready to
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: break you, and when God gets ready to take you,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: he's never been without the power to make you yield
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: to his will. He's never not one moment or time
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: not been able to orchestrate your affairs and nothing in
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: your life. Think about the most damnable thing that ever
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: happened and shout nothing. Think about the most embarrassing thing
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: that ever happened in your life and shout nothing. Think
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: about the most impoverished, financially depleting thing that ever happened
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: in your life and shout nothing. Think about the worst
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: scandal that you ever went through in your life and
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: shout nothing. Think about people who loved you and walked
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: out and left you and shout nothing. Think about betrayal
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: on the highest level of your life and shout nothing.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Think about the struggle going on on your job right
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: now and shout nothing. Think about the attitude of your
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: kinfolks and your family members and shout nothing. Think about
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: how your boss is treating you on your job and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: shout nothing. Think about that disagreement between you and your
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: children and shout nothing. Think about your past life of sin,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: your heart mongering, your inappropriateness, your attitude, your dysfunction and
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: shout nothing. Shout nothing. Let the devil hear you say nothing.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: That devil will think he won if you don't shout nothing.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: The devil will think he's in charge if you don't
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: shout nothing. He'll think he's gonna win, but you gotta
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: shout nothing. In the midst of hell and high water,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: shout nothing. In the midst of pain and despair, shout nothing.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: When your credit is denied, shout nothing. When you're evicted
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: out of your house, shout nothing. When your boyfriend buries
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: somebody else, shout nothing. Nothing!
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Hey, we'll be right back after this.
• 23:09

• 23:13

  Speaker 1: Even as Jonah was in the belly of the fish
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: three days, so shall the Son of Man be.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: In the grave.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: He had to get up when he got up, and
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: he had to go down when he went down because.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Nothing just happens.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: God has a way of just choosing to bless you
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and saying, that lady right there, I'm going to leave
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: that house for her. Can't nobody buy the house but her.

• 25:03
  Speaker 1: you start. It matters where you finish. You're getting practical
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: information from leaders that have been proven and been through
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: there and done that and overcame and been victorious. I
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: started to think how many conferences would have to take
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: place to reach this many leaders.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: At one time.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: We came here to get a deeper understanding of how
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: we can take the vision that God has given you
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: and take it to the next level. It refocused my
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: thought process. My hearing, my ability to see the word
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: much differently.
• 25:34

• 25:53
  Speaker 1: things to go to the next level. Are you ready?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I feel the glory in this place. Some of you,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: just when the devil thought you would never do it again,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: God made milk gush out of your breast. I tell you,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: it's not over till God says it's over.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Tell me this. What is she doing nursing.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: A baby anyway? Even a young woman can't nurse a
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: baby if she didn't have one. She didn't birth the baby.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: So her body's not even supposed to be making milk.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: And she's too old even if she had birthed a baby.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: But God.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: That's why God doesn't want to hear your excuses. Because
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: your excuses for not doing his will are based on
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: your understanding. But God's going to do some things in
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: your life that you don't understand. So it makes your
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: excuses foolishness. Because you're making excuses based on what you've
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: seen happen before. What you've seen happen before. But nothing
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: just happens. God's going to do something. God, God, I
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: got to quit. Oh, God's going to do something for
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: somebody in this room that you have never seen happen
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: before in your life. You've never seen him do it
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: for anybody else. You've never heard about him doing it.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: You can't explain how he did it, but God's going
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: to make it happen. I'm out of time.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I've got to stop there, but it's been a real joy,
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: a precious joy, a deep and fortifying blessing. to share
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: the word of the Lord with you and to be
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: an instrument to encourage you. I pray he used me well.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: And I pray you become all that God has called
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: you to be. And I pray above everything else that
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: you do not quit. For you are closer now than
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: when you first believed. God bless you.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Hold on.
