• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Of His presence, not your problem's presence, the power of
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: His presence. Let's pray, spirit of the Living God fall
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: fresh on us. Now as we go into the Word
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: of God. Let the Word of God go into us.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Let us transformative power illuminate within us, transfigure us, move
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: us and motivate us, fix us and change us. Be
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: God in the midst of this place. Establish yourself in
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the hearts of your people, not just these that are here,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: but to the thousands and thousands that are streaming online.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Be God. Whether they're in the living room, on the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: couch or laying in the bed, or whether they're looking
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: at a television screen or holding their phone in their hand.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Be God in the midst of your people. I thank
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: you because You're enough for whatever I got a face.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: You're enough God to get me through it. In Jesus' name,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: shout Amen. You may be seated in the presence of God. Yeah,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: let's go to work. I love the Book of Joshua.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I should warn you before I get started. It is
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite books, particularly in the Old Testament.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Is one of my favorite books because this book is
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: not for whims, It is not for the feint of heart.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: It is not for the superficially religious, the mundane, or
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the ritualistic. This book is a book of power to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: people who are coming to take over. This is a
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: transformative book. Its New Testament companion book would be the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Book of Ephesians. The Book of Ephesians starts out talking
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: about God has given us all things. The Book of
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Joshua starts out talking about God has given us all things,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and Ephesians all things that pertain unto life and godlyness.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: In Christ, Jesus spiritualizes what Joshua literalizes. In Joshua where
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: inheriting land, in Ephesians, where inheriting life. Both of them
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: take courage. Both of them take a lot of courage.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Let me set the texts in context so that you
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: can understand what is going on at the time, because scripture,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the strength of the scripture is only revealed when you
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: understand its environment in which it was spoken. Everything in
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: this text is moving but God. Everything is in the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: middle of transition and transformation. But God. The children of
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Israel are in transition, not only physically leaving their nomadic
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: history after having been slaved for enslaved for four hundred
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: years in Egypt, for four hundred and thirty years. They
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: are now on the cusp of a new beginning. While
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a new beginning is a good thing, it is also
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a scary thing. It is a difficult thing, and it
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: is a challenging thing, because now they must go from
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: being nomadic to being owners and dwellers and possessors of land.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: The land that they are possessing is rightfully theirs, but
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: they don't remember it. They've come home, but they've never
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: been there before. Their fathers, their ancestors, had left there
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: four hundred years ago. And so this is a generation
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that has no memory of what they're about to possess.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: They have no history there that they can look back
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: on as a point of reference to know that the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: future is good. They just know that it's new. Now
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: they are facing a new future without their own leader.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: He wasn't just any leader. He is Moses. Moses is
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a mighty man of power and authority. He is in
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a clans of this teaching all by himself. God said,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Other prophets have I spoken to through dreams and visions.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: But of my servant Moses, will I speak face to face.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: God says, Moses is in a category all by himself. Moses,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I'll show things to that I would show nobody else.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Moses has been the man for forty years to these people.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: It was Moses rod that was stretched out over the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Red Sea that caused the Red Sea to back up
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: from Moses's face, going hither and thither, and the wind
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: blew the waters back from ours. It was Moses that
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: established the Covenant of the Law. It was Moses that
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: brought down the plans for the Tabernac Law. It was
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Moses that prayed to Manna fell down from heaven. It
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: was Moses that turned the bitter water sweep. It was
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Moses that declared the power of God until he was
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: It was mo that gave them shade. It was Moses
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that gave them covery. It was Moses that prayed until
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: God said quailed from heaven. It was Moses. Does somebody
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: say it was Moses? It was Moses. Everything they knew
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: about God had come through Moses. Everything that they understood
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: about God had come through Moses. It was Moses who
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: brought down the Ten Commandments. It was Moses that showed
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: them the power of God so strong that the mountains
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: shook and were set on fire, and not Console. It
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: was Moses, and redict the sins off of Israel. It
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: was Moses and cleansed celeprocy off of his sister. It
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: was Moses. If you had a problem, it was Moses.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Whenever God sought to talk to somebody, it was Moses.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: When God got ready to heal somebody, it was Moses.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: When they got sick, it was Moses. Had lifted up
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the suppent in the wilder, it was Moses. The only
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: problem is Moses went up on the hill and he
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: didn't come back. And they're trying to figure out who
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: am I without Moses? What will life be like without Moses.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: They don't really know what happened to Moses. They never
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: got his body. The angels have taken his body away.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: God had to tell them that Moses, my servant is dead.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: When they heard that Moses was dead, they started screaming.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: They ripped their clothes and yelled and cried for days,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and days turned to weeks, and weeks turned to a month.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: They did nothing but lament the death of Moses. Almost
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: there and now Moses is gone. The worst thing that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: life could happen when you're almost there. The closer you
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: get to your promises, the more you lose. Oh, you
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: don't hear what I'm saying. They have waited forty years
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to get to this place. Every step they've taken has
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: been by foot. They didn't call uber. They had no
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: bus service, they had no wagon train, they had no
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: steam engine, they had no teslas, they had no automatic transportation.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: They had to walk this thing step by step and
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: foot by foot. Every inch of the land had footprints
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: on it. In the hot, blistering heat of the desert.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: They had walked with God, depending on him for their
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: daily bread. When they woke up in the morning, because
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: they were with Moses, man a fell from heaven in
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: front of each tent within their reach. Manner doesn't fall
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in their mouth. It falls within their reach. Somebody got it.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Somebody's been sitting around like a little bird with your
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: mouth open, waiting on God to send it into your mouth.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: God never brings a blessing to your mouth. He brings
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: it within your reach. Touch your neighbor and say, if
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you stretch, you can get it. Give us this day
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: our daily bread. Give us this day our daily bread
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: is Give us this day our daily stretch. Because even
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: though God sent it, if you don't stretch for it,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you don't get it. And now Moses is dead, and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you have to understand Moses being dead. It's trauma to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a people who are already traumatized. I remember being a
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: little boy when the news flash came on that doctor
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: King was dead, and everybody closed down the schools and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the kids went home, and everybody's face was stunned and shucked,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and we as a people were traumatized. We were as
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: traumatized by his death as we were by the causes
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: for which he fought, because he epitomized leadership. True leadership
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: is a gift from God, whether it's over a corporation
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: or a church or a business. Truly, I'm not talking
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: about titles. I'm talking about leadership. True leadership is a
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: gift from God. If you've ever had a real father
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: or a real mother, it's a gift from God. Whether
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: it's in the house, or in the company, or in
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the business or in the true leadership is a blessing.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Bad leadership is a curse. I'm gonna say that again.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Mad leadership is a curse. The Bible said, when the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: wicked shall rule the earth, show more when the wicked
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: shall rule their earth, show mord. When wickedness is in charge,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: everything under it suffers. You cannot make a man or
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a woman a leader. You either are or you are not.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Giving them a death doesn't make them a leader. Giving
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: them an office doesn't make them a leader. Giving them
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: a title doesn't make them a leader. Giving them a
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: degree doesn't make them a leader. A leader is a perspective.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Moses was a leader. Moses was a man. When Moses
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: put down his rod, something happen. When Moses raised his hands,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: their enemies were defeated. And now Moses instead, Who are
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: we without Moses? How can we go forward without Moses?
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Life will never be the same again without Moses. And
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: God let them cry their eyes out for about a month,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and then he says, now, now, somebody say now. My
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: grandmother didn't say now. She said now. I don't know
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: how you spell now. It's probably in a uga something
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: like that, but it meant now in ow, now Moses
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: is dead. Gous it. Now Moses is dead. That's enough crime,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that's enough weeping, that's enough astonishment, that's enough hysteria. Moses,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: my servant is dead, as I was. You see how
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: that fits. As I was with Moses, so shall I
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: be with you. I want you to see that everything
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: is changing. And when everything starts changing, change is scary.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Change is discombogulating. Change brings anxiety, Change brings tension, Change
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: brings stress. In change, you must have faith because you
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: don't have facts to stand on. All of your facts
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: are gone and change. You have to believe because you
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: can't see, and you don't know, and you're not sure.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Now faith is a something of things, hope for now, Moses,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: my servant is dead. I need faith when stuff dies
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: so I can move into the unseen. We know how
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to wander, but do we know how to build. We
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: know how to survive in the desert, but do we
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: know how to pick fruit in the promised lad We
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: know how to drive back other nomadic people, but we
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: don't know how to fight people that are dwelling in
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the lad. We have no point of reference for this.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: It is when everything is changing around you that faith
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: has its greatest relevance. It has its greatest power when
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: life is destabilizing and the future is uncertain and the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: prompts you had up under you are all giving away.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: That's when you discover God. When you run out of Moses,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: you're run into God. Somebody in here. All you God
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: is God. Everything you was leaning on is given way.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: All you God is God. All you know is God,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: all you see is God, all you understand is God.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: All you can hold on to is God. If God
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: doesn't do it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: And I fell in love.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: With this part as I was, So will I be,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: because that's the only thing in the Texas not changing.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: The region is changing. The territory is changing. How they
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: see themselves as changing. Their requirements are changing, their leadership
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: is changing, their transitioning from Moses to Joshua. Everything is destabilized,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Everything is saying a taste of disarray. And the only
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: thing that solid is as I was, So will I be?
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I am I am Ushah, I am I am. Everything
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: else can change, but I am as I was, socihall
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I be. I'm still here. I still got you. I'm
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: still with you. You're in a new city, but I
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: got you. You're on a new job, but I gotcha.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: You're in a new relationship, but I got you. You
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: got a new devil to fight, but I got you
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: as I was social, I Yeah, you don't need that
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: word If you're not gonna possess nothing.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: You don't need that word.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: If you have made up in your mind you're gonna
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: die in the wilderness and have a penny party and
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: feel sorry for yourself and cry yourself to sleep for
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the rest of your life, you don't need this summon.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: You can exit on any door. This is for people
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: that are gonna go ahead. I'm sad, but I'm going.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I'm brock but I'm going. I'm lonling but I'm going.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I'm un sudden, but I'm going. I gotta find a
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: way to go ahead. And so in order to find
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: a way to go ahead, you have to find an
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: absolute in the middle of variables. When you're living in variables,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: you must always find an absolute. The absolute is God
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: in this text, because I was, so, shall I be? God?
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Says I am who I am. No matter what season
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: of life you're in, no matter who walked away, no
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: matter who went up on the mountain and didn't come back,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: no matter who died in the wilderness, no matter who
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: betrayed you, no matter who lied on you, no matter
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: who divorced you, no matter who quits you, no matter
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: who for sacure, I will not fail there. I will
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: not forsakey. I will that's see. I want you to
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: see the spirit of the text, not just the letter
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: of the text. The power of the tax ain't nothing
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: like a promise when your need was so I'm gonna
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: try to break it down in the six principles. I'm
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: gonna give you these principles. These principles are number one.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about the people because God is talking
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: about the He's telling Joshua, who is the new leader.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Who has been leader at He has been Moses Jr.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: He's at leader techniques and principles, but now he has
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the full job. It's one thing to be an assistant
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: to the leader. It's another thing to be the set man.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: When you are the set man, the buck stops with you.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Joshua has assumed this position, and God is telling him
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: go amongst the people and tell them what to expect.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Because for God, it is about the people. And if
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you ever find a purpose that's bigger than you, God
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: will help you. I'm going to turn around try that again.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: If you ever find a purpose that's bigger than you,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: God will help you. God is not your manager. He's
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: not here to promote you He's not here to make
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: you feel important. He's not here to give you a
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: BackRub or massage. God is here to help you find
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: your purpose that is bigger than you. And if you
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: can find something that's big enough to pray about, or
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: y'all ain't ready for me this morning. You should have
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: went on the cruise, got some rest. You can't handle
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: me this morning. See half of the stuff on our
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: lists that we're praying about is not big enough to
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: pray about. It. Stop bringing these little penny any request
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: to God. It's an insult to ask a great man
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: to do little stuff. God needs a challenge. God needs
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: some big break. God needs something that's bigger than you.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Justs who I know you. No, but this is not
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: about you. This is about the people.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Be strong.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Over and over and over and over again. That Almighty
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: says the same thing, be strong and very courageous, Be
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: strong and very courageous, Be strong and very courageous. Why
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: does he keep telling us to be strong and very courageous?
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Because we are facing things that want to take our
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: strength and steal our courage, and we have to be commanded.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: It's a commandment. It's not a suggestion. It's not an idea.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: It's not something for you to vote about. Be strong
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and very courageous is a command from God. In fact,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: if you don't do this, you can't survive.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: You got no choice.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: My mother was drying the balls hermans and husband was
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: in the early stages and where I could really talk
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: to her, really good, and I said, Mama, said, it's
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: so amazing. I know you know what's going on, and
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: you seem so cool about it. You seem so calm.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I never ran into her crying or falling apart or
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: collapsing or looking worried or looking nervous. And I said,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: you seem so strong, and you seem so courageous, and
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you seem so powerful. And she said, baby, Mama, ain't
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: got no choice. Sometimes you have no choice. It simply
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: is what it is. I didn't ask for it, I
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: don't want it. I didn't prefer it. I'd rather than
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: not deal with it. But I have to face it
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: with strength, be strong and very courageous. You have got
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: to have something to pray about that's bigger than you,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: that is worthy of the attention of God. Because the
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: truth of the matter is, God blesses you for other people.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I told you a week ago. Those of you that
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: missed the worship service and only come to hear the
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: word miss the point. You don't understand that God doesn't
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: get anything out of preaching. God already had his word.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: You miss your one chance to give something to God.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: When you worship, you're giving something to God. When I'm preaching,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: God is giving something to you. So you are saying
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I can miss giving something to God and expect God
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: to give something to me. That's not how it watched.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Gim and it shall be given a good measure, pressed down,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: shaken together, running over. Some men give up to the Mother.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: That's why every worship braid here. When you praise him,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: you are blessing God. When he speaks to you, he
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: is blessing you. Reciprocity. You gotta learn reciprocity.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: You can't expect.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: To get something while you give nothing. Hallelujah. You're not
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: praising God because you're emotional or not emotional, or introvert
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: or an extrovert. It's not a black thing or a
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: white thing or Latino thing. It's not a Pentecostal thing.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: It's a Bible thing. Let everything that happened. God said,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: if you are not dead, Give me some praise, Poptosta, Holly,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: know ya. Glorry to God, Glory to God, Glorry to God,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Glorry to God. If you are not dead, give me
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: some praise. He didn'tik you Are you Baptist? Are you
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: a Methodist? Are you pinacon yourself? Are you black? Are
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: your wife? Are your Latino? He said, are you breathing?
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: If you are breathing, even if you're backslitting, even if
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: you're a sinner, God said, you still hold me some
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: praise because I let you live with your praise itself.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Let everything that happen.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Why let me go on. You missed some praise, servant,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Let me go on. You must understand. See the camouflage
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: of the text. It's the promised land. It is eye catching,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: it is amazing, it is wonderful. It is what they
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: were waiting on. But looking at the promised land is
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: only camouflage because the real promise is not the land,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: it's the presence. You think this is about property. This
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: is not about property. This is about presence. You're so
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: busy trying to get the property that you don't understand presence.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: The real gift is I will not forsake you. I
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: will not leave you as I was social all I be.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Can I give you the truth? God never grieved over Moses.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: God never grieved over the death of Moses. The truth
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: of the matter is when Moses, God turned his head
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: to Joshua and kept right on talking as I was
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: with Moses. So shall I be See the promise? My
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: second one is some promise, the promises of God. Is
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: that not that you won't have to fight, not that
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: you won't have to cry, not that you won't have struggles.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: His promises I will be with you. The promise is
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: bigger than the lad The promise is the power is
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: his presence. The promises stop cometing the property, comet the presence.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: If you get the presence, you will get the property
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: all byself. What good is the property if you don't
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: have his presence the promises I will be with you.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not promising you you won't have to fight.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: You will have to fight, but the fight will go
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: better if you know I'm with you. How many people
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: in a fight right now? The Lord sent me to
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: tell you that He's in the fight with you, That
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the battle is not yours, it belongs to God. If
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: You're gonna grow comfort be comforted by his presence, not
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: his presence. See, we have been taught to ask God
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: like Santa Claus, for presents, give me, give me, give me,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: give me, give me, give me, give me. But what
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: we ought to do is seek his presence, because his
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: presence is more powerful than his presence. I hope I'm
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: speaking clearly enough for you to understand the distinction between
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: getting God's gifts and getting God's glory. The promise I
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: want you to see is not the land, it's the presence.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Let me go into this kind, go deeper. Young person
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: just breaking out, trying to figure out who am I?
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Do I have what it takes? Can I do this?
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Am I any good at it? Will I succeed? I
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: talk a good fight, but can I really fight? I
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: say I'm a great man, But am I really a
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: great man? I want to be a good mother. I
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know, I don't know. I know.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Gus your say all God says. All of that is
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I will be with you. Middle aged person getting older,
• 30:14

• 30:16
  Speaker 1: change in your life, not sure of yourself, out of

  Speaker 1: your elements. Soon as you figured out how to be
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: a grown person. Now you're trying to learn how to
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: be an old person. They ought to teach a class
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: on how to get old. It would be worth setting
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: up a curriculum for you. For all the things that
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: happen to you that nobody tells you it's going to
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: happen to you, and you got to act like it.

• 30:55

  Speaker 1: is I will.

  Speaker 2: Be with you.

• 31:20
  Speaker 1: not leaving. She may forsake you. I will not forsake you.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Just because he left doesn't mean I left. Just because
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: she left doesn't mean I left. I'm still in the house,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I'm still opening doors, I'm still making ways. Y'all. Don't
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: hear me, y'all, don't hear me. I don't teach it
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: till you get it. The presidence of God. Jack, see
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: your job. The presidence of God is with your if
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: you lose your job. The only thing sighting in the
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: text is the presants of God. I got you. I
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: got you in the hospital, I got you in your college.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I got you in your classroom. I got you in
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: your marriage, I got you in your divorce. I got
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: you in your strength. I got you in your weakness.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: That is the promise.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I won't forsake you when you're falling. I won't run
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: out on you when you're failing. I won't back up
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: when you're up against the wall. I won't run away
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: when you disappoint me. I will be with you. To me,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: that's the best part of the text. That is the promise.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: If you don't take that to be your promise, you
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: will lean on something that can be stolen. You will
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: lean on something that can be taken away. The one
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: thing the devil can never take away from me. He's
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: with me. And if he's with me, he's more than
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: the world. Oh, y'all can't handle listen, You'll can't hand linsen.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: So I talked to you about the people. I talk
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: to you about the problem. Number three I want to
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: talk to you about the priority, he says. I want
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: you to tell the people to meditate in my word
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: night and day. God says, I want your priority to
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: be pleasing me, delight yourself in it, and seek to
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: obey it. I want that to be your priority. No, no, no,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I tell you. I say this all the time. No
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: rich man is looking for no brooke woman with a
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: lot of bills. Let me find somebody who got real
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: bad credit and they owe everybody so I can bail
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: them out. I mean, you might end up with that,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: but you are not looking for that. I ain't saying
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: she no golden. I'll explain it to the old folks
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: and the white folks later. Me be in the back.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: I give you the rest of assistance, because nobody wants
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: to be loved for what they got. They want to
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: be loved for who they are. In fact, if you
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: love me for who I am, you can get what
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: a God. The way to what I got is love
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: who I am, because I will trade you what I
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: got if you respect who I am. That's what God
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: is saying. He said, I want to make sure that
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: you're in this for the right reason. So in order
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: to purify you. I want you to get in my word,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: and I want you to seek to obey my word
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: outside of your promised land. Don't wait until you get
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: there to be grateful.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: I want to know.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Can you be grateful? Broke?
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: I want to know?
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Can you be grateful? Sick?
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I want to know?
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Can you be grateful?
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Lonely? I want to know?
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Can you be grateful? When I break your heart and
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: I hurt your feeling? Can you wipe your face and
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: say you're still gone?
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I want it all.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I want to check your priority because I swive I'm
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: gonna bless you if you get some priority, right, don't
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: why about the blessing?
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I got the property.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: So the text talks to us about the priority of
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: having a devotion. Do not know most people do not
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: have a devotion outside of church. I'm not talking about citis.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about church people. I understand. I don't that
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: sent us to have a devotion. Most church people live
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: close to the edge of backsliding. At any given moment,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: you just one honking horn away. And the reason is, yeah,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I keep it real. So if you don't want to,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: if you don't want real, don't come here. The reason
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: we are not in touch with our spiritual selves. Is
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: that we have no devotion aside from our stage. I
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: can't remember when we didn't have to hire worship. I
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: can remember when the church didn't have praise dancer. Everybody
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: was a praise dancer. Everybody was a worshiper. The problem is,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: you don't need me. You don't need an organ, you
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: don't need a band, you don't need a drum. You
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: don't need all these people with all these amazing voices.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: You need a heart that's open to God. You need
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: a heart that can sing out a tune in your kitchen,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: that can that can walk around in your office before
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: anybody gets there and you're making coffee and blessing the
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Lord and getting ready for your day. I'm talking about
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: a relationship with God, not with people, not with church,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: not with fame, not with fortune, not with your idea success.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Because when you get whatever you're trying to get, you're
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: gonna find out it ain't nothing. As soon as you
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: get it, you're gonna figure out it wasn't what you
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: thought it was in the first place. It ain't worth
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: being your God. Y'all can't handle it because you want
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: to be rich, I know rich folks. That's crazy. I
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: know rich people that are suicidal. I know rich people
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: that have no sense, and all you want is rich.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: It's paper, baby, it's this paper.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Calm down.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: It's this paper. You can burn it and light your store.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: It's just.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: You need a devotional that anchors you. Because things are
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: gonna go up. They're gonna go down. Your life is
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: gonna go up, it's gonna go down. Your finance is
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: gonna go up, they're gonna go down. Your friend's gonna
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: go up, they're gonna go down. Your americal status is
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: gonna go up and go down. We've been happily Amriice
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: for fifty years, Liar, liar, hands on fire. Ain't nobody
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: been happy fifty years with nobody. I'm not even happy
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: with me fifty years. I get sick of myself. No way,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: no where. You're gonna be happy to fifty years. Stop
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: lying the time we made it. We did it. The
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: priority of a devotional stabilizes you in a deed stabilized environment.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: It is it is the worship. It is the breakfast
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: of champions. It is a breakfast of champions. There is
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: nothing like walking up on my white prayer and having
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: to back up out of her space, and she had
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: the whole room lit up with glory, and her relationship
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: with God is not of my business, so I backed
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: out of her stuff because that's too personal, even for
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: your husband. She might need to be talking about me,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: give us some privacy.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: So she didn't work it out. That's how personal.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: The priority of consecrating yourself. You don't why yourself out
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: of nervous all the time you have no consecration. When's
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: the last time you had devotional by yourself without all
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: these fancy singing and all that self No wonder you
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: get out anybody sing like that. He makes you happier,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: whether you got the Holy ghost or not. I'm talking
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: about you by yourself, walking around in your house making
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: up a song. Ain't got no to them, can't find
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: no key, nobody can play it. But God loves it,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: he said, make a joy fornoying, serve the Lord with gladness.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Come before me with singing. God's telling you how to
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: please him, he said, come before me with singing. I'm
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: like it when you're singing. I don't care that you
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: ain't got no tool. Just make some noise when you
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: walk up on me. Just come up. You don't need
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: me to have worship, You don't need them to have worship.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: You need to be able to do this in your house.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: In fact, it's easier to do it in church when
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: you're doing at home. The reason you're so slow to
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: start up is that you don't do it at home.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: I just believe that where God is getting ready to
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: take you, this message is necessary. He's getting ready to
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: put you in an unstable environment, out of your elements,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: where things are uncertain, and the only stability you're gonna
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: have is coming from his presence. And you've got to
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: learn how to value his presence enough to give him time.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Whatever you value, you make time for it. People who
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: in the gym all the time value looking like that.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: They take time for it. They're in the gym six
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: hours a day. They look like it. The reason I
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: look like this, it's not that important to me. If
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: it was that important to me, I would do it
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: for six hours a day. Mine gonna have to do
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: it in fifteen. Whatever God's gonna do, he's gonna have
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: to do it quick. I want microwave ads. You got
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: to cook it quick, Jesus, because I got stuff to do.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Whatever you value, you make time for it. How much
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: time do you make for God? So he says, I'm
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: telling you I want you to start getting in my
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: word and observe my law as a part of your
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: daily routine. So I'm in order for you to possess,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: I want you to prioritize. Seek. He let me put
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: it in New Testament language. Seek He first the Kingdom
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: of God in its righteousness, and then all these things
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: shall be at it under you. He didn't tell you
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: to seek the thing. He says, seek the kingdom. If
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: you seek the Kingdom, the thing will follow you.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Number four.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: What this is really about, it is the purpose of God.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Moses died, but God's purpose didn't. So when he says,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: as I was, so will I be as I was
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: with Moses, So will I be with you. I'm gonna
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: do the same thing through you I would have done
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: through Moses. Because it wasn't about personality. It was about purpose.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Now this time getting ready to lay on you is bad.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: You gotta be ready. You got to be able to
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: handle this. To accomplish his purpose. God would use anybody.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: See you think it's a few little blessed people and
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: if you're not in God's click. God can't use wrong.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: God use hookers. Y'all don't want me to talk to you.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: God used donkeys. God use animals, God use fish. God
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: don't care what it is. When God gets ready to
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: accomplish someone in order to get it done, he'll use anybody.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: He used honologus Ruth will the more bidis she didn't
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: even know who God was. But when God gets ready
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: to accomplish his purpose, He'll snatch anybody from anywhere in
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: order to get things done. If you want to survive,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: get in the purpose. The safest place in the whole
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: wide world is in the purpose of God. Whenever you
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: get in the purpose of God, God will protect you
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: to protect his purpose. See, y'all can't handle this. All
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: things work together for the good of them that love
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: the Lord, who are the call according to his God said,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: if you get in my purpose, I'll make it work
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: out all right. If you get in my purpose, I'll
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: fight your enemies off for you. I'll whip anybody who
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: stands up against you if you do what I tell
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: you to do. If I know I can count on
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: you to do my purpose, your enemies become my enemies.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Your battles become my battles. I'll drive back your diseases.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: I'll heal your body. If you're in my purpose, I'll
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: strengthen you in your old age. You don't had no
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Bible for that, Yes I do. Has a card was
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: getting ready to die. He was ready to die. He
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: had laid up in the bed. He was sick and afflicted.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Thee the evilied Prophet even told him he was going
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: to die. True Prophet said he was going to die.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: Has a cause, turned his face to the world and
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: told God. He said, if I die, the grave cannot
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: praise you. God said, if you praise me, I'll ad
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: fifteen years. Touch three people and say, get in the purpose.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: Did in the purpose? Did in the purpose of God.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Get in something bigger than you did in something that's
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: not about you. Did it something that's not about what
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: you had in mind. Get in something where you're willing
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: to sacrifice. The safest place isn't the purpose of God.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: I am alive.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Because of the purpose of God. I've seen my enemies
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: die fighting me because I was in the purpose of God.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: God didn't help me because I was good. God helped
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: me because I was the obedient.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Oh my God, two.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: Or three people say, get in the purpose? Can I
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: go deeper? How many people are getting blessed to the word?
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: Makes them know it? How many people feel like you're
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: in the purpose of God? Makes them know it? How
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: many people are going to be more intentional about being
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: in the purpose of God? Doctor James, I trying to
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: let him be able to use me anywhere, anytime, any place.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: So I was in the Caribbean and I was meeting
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: with the premiere on one of the islands and his
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: father I had just died and it was a day
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: after and I said, sir, I don't want to disrespect
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: your space or put you in an uncomfortable situation, but
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: I know you're hurting. And above any business that we
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: were talking, I am core a pastor, and I said,
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: let me pray for you, because I understand how hard
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: it is for people who are perceived as big men
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: to get real prayer, because everybody's trying to impress you,
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: and everybody wants to bow down before you, and they
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: see you as so big that they don't know that
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: you get weak, and they don't know you get tired,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: and they don't know that you're hurting, and they don't
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: know that you just lost your daddy. And he burst
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: into tears, and I took him and I prayed for him,
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: because that is my purpose. Now, we were talking about business,
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: and we were talking about property, and we were talking
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: about possibilities. But I never let the possibilities or the
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: property or the business drive me away from a purpose.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Because if I got to leave my purpose to get
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: the promise, then you can keep it. I will walk
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: away in a hot minute. You have never seen anybody
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: who can turn and walk away like I can walk away.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: My wife says, this scares her. I can walk away
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: and still be waving back. Ain't no check can hold me.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Ain't nothing else can hold me. I'm a grown man.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: I got a grown God who does grown stuff.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: And I don't have to go through.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: You to get nothing. If God get ready or bless me,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: be already prove it in sixty two years. Sixty two years. Oh,
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: you don't hear what I'm saying. You don't let nothing
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: drive you away from your purpose because the purpose of
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: God is already blessed. All that praying you trying to do,
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: trying to get God to bless.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: Your plan, stop it.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Get in his plan. It's already blessed. You ain't got
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: to stamp and going no fast God's plan, It's already blessed.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: God's plan is his purpose. Stop trying to draw God
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: into your agenda. Get into his because He will protect
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: that which pertains unto him. Let me tell you why
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: you are here because of the purpose of God. If
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: you be honest, you know it's not because of your righteousness.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Now you can plead in, but you can't play me
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: because I know. Don't let me turn on my prophetic gift.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Then read you. You know you are not that holy.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: The purpose of God has protection. Are you hearing what
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: I'm saying here? And when you are in the purpose
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: of God, you ought to be knocking the door trying
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: to do something for God. Oh y'all, won't let me
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: do something for God. I don't know, I don't care
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: what I gotta sign, what I gotta do, I got it,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: I gotta do it. I'm gonna be in bad and
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: to do something for God committee. Put me on to
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: do something for God committee right now. Put me on
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: to do something for God committee. Because if I get
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: on to do something for God Committee, arthritis can't hold me.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Sickness can't hold me. Death can't to hold me. Disease
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: came to hold me. Looking it can't hold me, Katus
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: can't hold me, Witches came to hold me. You alos
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: can't hold me. You know why I'm blessed. You can't
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: curse what's already blessed. I'm blessed. I'm in his purpose.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: How blessed come, I'm in his will? How blessed? Couse?
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: I showed up where he told me to show up.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: Had I said what he told me to say? No,
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: let me hurry on. Oh, I feel the glory of
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: God in this way. Would you tell your neighbor God
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: is getting you ready for something. Now I'm going deeper.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going deeper. Are you going with me? You're going
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: with me. So my fifth point is the provision. The provision. Now, normally,
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: when you talk about provision with God, it's normally God provided. Okay,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: this time is not. God has been providing for forty
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: years all through the wilderness. The manner has fallen every
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: morning with the dew. Early in the morning, God baked
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: the bread fell right in front of the tent. They
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: grabbed it. They hate. That's why I brought it up
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: so you could remember your blessing that God makes for
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: you as always within arms reach. They pulled it in
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: according to their households, some more, some less. So don't
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: compare yourself with each other. Because God is just, but
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: he's not fair. Fair is everybody in here gets two.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: Just is since you got more kids, you get more,
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: more capacity, more provision. That's just. But she could say
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: that's not fair. I don't have no kids here with me.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: It's not fair. But it's just you mad at God
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: because he's not fair. God didn't promise to be fair.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: He promised to be just. So to the big ten
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: people who had a lot of need more bread failed
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: because they had capacity. People who have little need got
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: little bread. That wasn't fair, but it was just. They
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: have had forty years of God handing out the bread
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: in our text, for the first time since they got
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: out in the wilderness, God now says, I'm through handing
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: you bread. Prepare your victuals. This is the first time
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: that he has made the promised land generation have to prepare.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: He said, I'm through giving you freebies. He says, prepare
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: your victuals, which is food. You gotta go out there
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: and prepare it. Now, this is a generation who never
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: had to cook, got all the bread was prepared. But
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: God now says to them, the manner has ceased. I
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: could pull that scripture. I didn't. The maner has ceased.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: When the manner ceases, it's a sign you must prepare,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: it's not a sign you can't eat.
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: When it ceases to be easy, it doesn't mean it
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: ceases to be It just means that, in the course
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: of providing, God changes methodology. That which comes easy is
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: always temporal. That's so good. I'm gonna get the CD myself.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: That which comes easy is always temporal. That's like honeymoons.
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: That which comes easy is always temporal. If marriage was honeymoons. Well,
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: that's right. Look at me like you don't know what
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about it. That which comes easy is always temporal.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: Sooner or later, you have to get your hands in it. Yeah,
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: you have to put some sweat in it, you have
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: to put some effort in it. He said. Now I'm
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: making you prepare your vituals because you're closer than you've
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: ever been before. You're closer than you ever been before.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: Get your hands in it. Who I felt unctioned, like
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: glory coming out of me, Like God is saying, specifically
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: to somebody, get your hands in it. I've been handing
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: your stuff that you didn't have to put your hands in.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: Now you got to get your hands in it. I'm
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: gonna feed you, but you got to get involved in it.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: You got to put your hands in it. Prepare your
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: victuals because I'm getting ready to move you. I'm getting
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: ready to shift you. Prepare your victuals because you got
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: three days to get ready for this shift. Sunday to Monday,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: Monday to Tuesday, Tuesday, the widzesys three days to get
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: ready to prepare your victuals in three days. In three days,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: you're gonna cross into something like you have never crossed
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: into before. In three days. Somebody say three days that
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: three days, three days, prepare your victuals for in three
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: days you shall cross this. Jordan, wait a minute, I
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: heard that. Three days before, Jesus said, if you destroy
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: the temple, and three days I'll raise it up. Jesus
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: went into great death Beryl in resurrection three days. Hose
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: I said, in two days, I'll revive you the third day.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: There's something about God. In three days there's something about God.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: In three days, he raised up Jesus on the third
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: day from the dead, and Jesus is the living Bread.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: You heard me, did you? Jesus is the living Bread.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: Get your hands in it. Thomas comes in and says,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: unless I get my hands in it, I won't believe.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: Get your hands. See, you can go to church all
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: you want to, but until you get your hands into Jesus,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: you got to prepare your victuals because in three days
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going to bring you into it. Now watch this.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: This is the kind of message is that it's for
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: people who are on the cusp of change. I am
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: staggering while I'm preaching at the power of his presence,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: as I sense more prophetic than preaching that there are
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: people in this room that are on the cusp of transition.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: And this is more than a cute message. You had
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: to be here because everything in your life is getting
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: ready to shift, and God is getting ready to bring
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: you into a place that you have never been, a
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: state that you have never been. And it is in
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: part because Moses, my servant is dead, and you have
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: been destabilized in order to become dependent, so that with
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: which you normally would depend.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: Has gone, and now God has got you to himself,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: and he says, prepare your victuals.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: Who am I preaching to? Somebody? Somebody? Somebody, somebody, my God,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: my God, my God, my God. Who am I preaching to?
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: Where are you? Are you in the kitchen? Are you
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: in the house.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: Are you in the front porch.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: Are you in your car on your way to church?
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Are you in the golfing?
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: Cause?
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: Where are you? I'm preaching to somebody. I don't know
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: who I'm prenching to.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: Whoever I'm preaching to. If you're in the house, makes
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: some noise, makes you know the provision of God has
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: now been placed in the hands of the believer that
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: is not to be ignored. God said, I'm putting it
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: in your hands. Go shut up. I'm putting it in
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: your hands. I'm putting it in your hands. I'm through

• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: want to feel your DNA in it. I want your
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: fingerprints in the bread. Get your hands in it, feel it,
• 1:04:45

• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: need it, need it, Like, go get your hands in
