Speaker 1: Let's have some fun today. You ready to have some
0:03
Speaker 1: fun today? We're going to get fed, but we're going
0:07
Speaker 1: to have fun today. We're going to have a good time.
0:10
Speaker 1: If you got your Bibles, bring it up and stand up.
0:13
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you to wear them stilettos. So endure
0:19
Speaker 1: hardness as a good soldier. We're going to Psalms 133. Oh,
0:24
Speaker 1: I didn't, I didn't, I'm sorry. Serve the people of God.
0:31
Speaker 1: You can tell it's been a while since I did
0:32
Speaker 1: Sunday morning, okay? Thank you. I'm hungry. I'm hungry right now.
0:47
Speaker 1: You got a candy bar? No, I'm trying to live.
0:52
Speaker 1: Y'all feel me? Psalms 133, 1 through 3. very familiar
1:01
Speaker 1: passage of scripture, but for some reason I find the
1:04
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit drawing my attention to the text in the
1:09
Speaker 1: hopes that I might be able to extrapolate from the
1:11
Speaker 1: components therein some grain of rhema, some grain of rhema
1:19
Speaker 1: that has transformed from just logos, thought, and idea into
1:24
Speaker 1: a word that is cut to the continuity of your situation.
1:29
Speaker 1: That we might hear what the Spirit of the Lord
1:33
Speaker 1: is saying to the church. We need to hear from him.
1:39
Speaker 1: Our ears are open. When you have it, say amen.
1:46
Speaker 1: Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren
1:54
Speaker 1: to dwell together in unity. It is like the precious
1:59
Speaker 1: ointment upon the head that ran down upon the beard,
2:03
Speaker 1: even Aaron's garments. As the dew of Hermon and as
2:09
Speaker 1: the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion. For
2:15
Speaker 1: there the Lord commanded the blessing. For there the Lord
2:23
Speaker 1: commanded the blessing. Even life For there the Lord commanded
2:30
Speaker 1: the blessing. For there the Lord commanded the blessing, even
2:36
Speaker 1: life forevermore. Look at your neighbor and say, whatever God commands.
2:44
Speaker 1: Say it again, whatever God commands. If my daughter were
2:52
Speaker 1: preaching this message, she would put some kind of word
2:55
Speaker 1: around it that centered around surrender. But they mean the
2:59
Speaker 1: same thing. When you say whatever God commands, you have
3:04
Speaker 1: to surrender what you had in mind in order to
3:08
Speaker 1: be open for whatever God commands. Say it again, whatever
3:13
Speaker 1: God commands. Speak, Lord, for thy servant hears. Open us
3:19
Speaker 1: up to receive the engrafted word of God. Not the
3:25
Speaker 1: word that falls on stony ground and the birds eat
3:29
Speaker 1: it and take it away. But let it stick to us.
3:32
Speaker 1: Let it be nourishment to us. Let it counsel us
3:36
Speaker 1: and guide us and carve us and shape us and
3:40
Speaker 1: mold us and make us. I thank you in advance
3:44
Speaker 1: for what you're going to do. I believe you for
3:47
Speaker 1: great things. In Jesus' name, somebody shout amen. You may
3:54
Speaker 1: be seated. Yeah, let's go to work. Behold is almost
4:04
Speaker 1: like the blaring of a trumpet at six o'clock in
4:07
Speaker 1: the morning waking the troops up. It says, I want
4:11
Speaker 1: you alert. I want you focused. I want you to
4:17
Speaker 1: see this. I want you to get this. Behold how
4:21
Speaker 1: good and pleasant it is for brethren And I got
4:27
Speaker 1: stuck on that. I thought it's interesting that he is
4:31
Speaker 1: saying how good and pleasant it is for brethren to
4:35
Speaker 1: dwell together in unity. But just because we are kin
4:39
Speaker 1: doesn't mean we're connected. In fact, the disconnect can be
4:47
Speaker 1: all the more pronounced when it exists amongst brethren. Some
4:53
Speaker 1: of us are grieved in our heart today because we
4:56
Speaker 1: see on television and we see on Instagram and other places,
5:00
Speaker 1: beautiful families having a wonderful time. And when your family
5:04
Speaker 1: gets together, you know, and you love them. It's not
5:12
Speaker 1: that you don't love them, but somebody has a way
5:16
Speaker 1: of saying things that trigger you, just trigger you, just
5:24
Speaker 1: bother you. And just because you are kin or you
5:27
Speaker 1: work in the same building or you work in the
5:31
Speaker 1: same profession, some of the greatest attacks I've ever gotten
5:36
Speaker 1: have come from preachers. Doctors don't always like doctors. Tailors
5:45
Speaker 1: criticize each other's works. Beautician says she didn't do that right.
5:49
Speaker 1: She left it in too long. Some of the greatest
5:52
Speaker 1: criticisms I ain't messing with you. I ain't messing with
5:55
Speaker 1: you this morning. I ain't messing with you this morning.
5:59
Speaker 1: Some of the greatest critics come from the people that
6:02
Speaker 1: we are brethren, we are connected to. It is difficult
6:06
Speaker 1: to find somebody who is secure enough in themselves to
6:11
Speaker 1: accept you and support you and reflect you in such
6:15
Speaker 1: a way that your insecurities are diminished. They have to
6:20
Speaker 1: be secure enough to compliment you. See, they don't know
6:27
Speaker 1: that as gifted as you are, you're gifted as you're normal.
6:32
Speaker 1: And so you don't really realize that you're gifted, and
6:35
Speaker 1: so you can do something that's terribly gifted and walk
6:38
Speaker 1: away and wonder, was it okay? And if you don't
6:41
Speaker 1: surround yourself with an inner circle of people who are
6:44
Speaker 1: comfortable enough to be able to reaffirm what God has
6:48
Speaker 1: done in your life, you wonder, am I enough? Am
6:55
Speaker 1: I enough? So even amongst brethren, amongst people that you
7:00
Speaker 1: would think would readily protect you, embrace you. I mean,
7:03
Speaker 1: look at Joseph. His brothers tried to kill him. Now,
7:11
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody to try to kill me, but
7:13
Speaker 1: I sure don't want my brother. That's insult to injury
7:19
Speaker 1: when somebody who's supposed to love you tries to take
7:22
Speaker 1: you out. threw him in a pit, lied on him,
7:26
Speaker 1: convinced their father he was dead and kept the lie
7:30
Speaker 1: for years. That's why you can't trust everything people say.
7:35
Speaker 1: They will keep the lie. I'm talking to the wrong church.
7:42
Speaker 1: Let me find, let me find something. I had never
7:48
Speaker 1: paid attention to the word brethren. Behold how good and
7:50
Speaker 1: pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity
7:54
Speaker 1: because my assumption is that if we are brethren, surely
7:59
Speaker 1: we ought to be able to dwell together in unity.
8:04
Speaker 1: The big word here, the great word here, the powerful
8:09
Speaker 1: word here is unity. Unity. And it's such a simple
8:16
Speaker 1: little word. Say it with me. Unity. But it's so
8:21
Speaker 1: hard to capture unity. Somebody bought me one of those
8:24
Speaker 1: little fly swatters that electrocute the fly. But it's not
8:32
Speaker 1: real big, you know. I need one real big so
8:38
Speaker 1: that I can increase the chances of attack. Okay. Because
8:43
Speaker 1: my fly be sitting on the wood part laughing at
8:45
Speaker 1: me saying, you thought you had me, didn't you?
8:48
Speaker 2: Yeah.
8:48
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I go through that kind of stuff. You
8:52
Speaker 1: wouldn't think, though, that you would be electrocuted by your own.
9:01
Speaker 1: Unity is important and it's hard to maintain because you
9:07
Speaker 1: cannot have unity without individual sacrifice. Do not confuse unity
9:14
Speaker 1: with conformity. Because most of us think of unity when
9:19
Speaker 1: we win the argument and the person comes over to
9:23
Speaker 1: our side, then we are united. Because we are more
9:26
Speaker 1: concerned about being, we're more concerned about winning than we
9:33
Speaker 1: are about being connected. When being right becomes more important
9:39
Speaker 1: than surviving, you're in trouble. You're in trouble. Because you've
9:44
Speaker 1: thrown out the baby with the water. Your ego is
9:47
Speaker 1: so strong that you want to be right at the
9:50
Speaker 1: expense of us losing unity. And unity is the utmost
9:55
Speaker 1: passion of God. Unity is something that God respects. and
10:00
Speaker 1: moves upon in such a powerful way unity like it
10:03
Speaker 1: like if if this church got on one accord for
10:06
Speaker 1: a minute it would be no telling what would happen
10:10
Speaker 1: in this place if we unite it If we all
10:14
Speaker 1: got together, if you didn't have to do your own thing,
10:18
Speaker 1: if we all got together and said hallelujah at the
10:21
Speaker 1: same time, the unity would be impactful. If we all
10:25
Speaker 1: prayed for the same thing at the same time. the
10:28
Speaker 1: unity would be impactful. If we all fell flat on
10:32
Speaker 1: our face and laid before God, the unity would be impactful.
10:37
Speaker 1: It's not just what you said. It's the unity of
10:40
Speaker 1: doing the same thing at the same time, whether you
10:43
Speaker 1: feel like doing it or not. Whether your knees hurt
10:46
Speaker 1: or not, whether you normally pray that way or not,
10:49
Speaker 1: but for the sake of unity, there has to be
10:53
Speaker 1: a certain amount of willingness for you to give up
10:56
Speaker 1: your individuality for the greater good of connectivity. And some
11:01
Speaker 1: of us are so intent on being an individual that
11:06
Speaker 1: we never learn the power of a group. You brag
11:11
Speaker 1: about being an individual. I'm my own woman. I'm my
11:14
Speaker 1: own man. I can do for myself. I don't need
11:17
Speaker 1: anybody to do for me. That's not right. It might
11:20
Speaker 1: be right at the time you said it, but it's
11:23
Speaker 1: not going to be right in the nursing home. It's
11:25
Speaker 1: not going to be right in the hospital. It's not
11:28
Speaker 1: going to be right when you're having a baby. It's
11:30
Speaker 1: not going to be right in a car wreck. It's
11:33
Speaker 1: not going to be right when you need a promotion
11:35
Speaker 1: on a job. You're going to need somebody sometime. And
11:39
Speaker 1: you got to learn how to come out of yourself.
11:42
Speaker 1: If you come out of yourself, God will help you.
11:45
Speaker 1: Let me go a little bit deeper. Can I go
11:47
Speaker 1: a little bit deeper? I was reading an interesting article
11:51
Speaker 1: and it suggests that isolation is more deadly than cigarettes.
12:00
Speaker 1: And we are living in an increasingly isolated society. And
12:04
Speaker 1: I'm not just talking about us grown folks who don't
12:07
Speaker 1: trust anybody. I'm talking about little kids. isolated with the iPad,
12:12
Speaker 1: me and my iPad. I don't need a friend. So
12:16
Speaker 1: I can't learn how to resolve conflict. I can't learn
12:20
Speaker 1: how to have a dispute. I can't learn how to
12:22
Speaker 1: have an agreement because whatever I punch on my iPad,
12:27
Speaker 1: it does what it says. And then when I get
12:29
Speaker 1: out in the real world and I do a little
12:32
Speaker 1: thing and I don't get the reaction that I need,
12:34
Speaker 1: I don't know how to get along with people because
12:37
Speaker 1: I don't know how to have unity. We are not
12:40
Speaker 1: training people to be unified because you would have to
12:44
Speaker 1: give up on some of yourself. Okay, maybe we won't
12:47
Speaker 1: have biscuits tonight. We'll have cornbread. I'll put the biscuits
12:51
Speaker 1: in the refrigerator. We'll have it later. Maybe we won't
12:53
Speaker 1: have chicken. We'll have pork chop. In order to have unity,
12:57
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to give up on what you had
13:01
Speaker 1: in mind in order to have unity. In other words,
13:05
Speaker 1: in order to have unity, you have to fight for it.
13:09
Speaker 1: You have to work on it. You have to fight
13:12
Speaker 1: yourself for it. You have to shut up. You have
13:14
Speaker 1: to bite your tongue sometimes. You can't say everything that
13:17
Speaker 1: comes to mind sometimes. You got to be quiet sometimes.
13:21
Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to say yes to something that you
13:23
Speaker 1: wouldn't normally say yes to in order to have unity.
13:27
Speaker 1: So if I'm going to pay that much for unity,
13:30
Speaker 1: unity has to be valuable. So unity is so valuable
13:36
Speaker 1: that we can understand how thousands of people in this church,
13:40
Speaker 1: if we start praying in the same way, God will
13:42
Speaker 1: hear it. But let me tell you, let's reduce the
13:45
Speaker 1: numbers now. He said if two or three are gathered
13:49
Speaker 1: together in my name. I don't need everybody to be
13:54
Speaker 1: connected with me. That's what's wrong now. You got too
13:57
Speaker 1: many people connected with you. I just need two or three.
14:01
Speaker 1: I need an inner circle. I need a Peter, James,
14:04
Speaker 1: and John. I need somebody who I can reopen with.
14:08
Speaker 1: And if we come together and touch and agree on anything...
14:12
Speaker 1: The Bible said it shall be done. That means unity
14:17
Speaker 1: is so powerful that if we come into agreement and alignment,
14:22
Speaker 1: we can do anything. If you don't believe me, believe Nimrod.
14:27
Speaker 1: He got ready to build a tower toward heaven, and
14:30
Speaker 1: it wasn't even for a good reason. But as he
14:33
Speaker 1: built the tower toward heaven, God said, I have to
14:36
Speaker 1: stop him because the people are unified. And if the
14:40
Speaker 1: people are one... There is nothing impossible for people who
14:46
Speaker 1: are unified. That's why the devil wants hell in your marriage.
14:51
Speaker 1: Because there's nothing impossible for people that are unified. That's
14:56
Speaker 1: why you and your daughter keep falling out with each other.
14:58
Speaker 1: Because there's nothing impossible when you are unified. That's why
15:02
Speaker 1: you and your son can't get along. There's nothing impossible
15:07
Speaker 1: when you're unified. The object of the text is unity.
15:12
Speaker 1: The pursuit of the text is unity. The fight of
15:16
Speaker 1: the text is unity. The realization of unity has to
15:21
Speaker 1: be something that you want bad enough to give up
15:24
Speaker 1: your opinions. I remember years ago I was taking my
15:29
Speaker 1: girls out to eat somewhere and I asked them where
15:31
Speaker 1: they wanted to go. One of them wanted to go
15:33
Speaker 1: to Cheesecake Factory. I can't remember where the other one
15:36
Speaker 1: wanted to go. But they had a different opinion about
15:39
Speaker 1: where they wanted to go eat. For unity, say, we
15:42
Speaker 1: couldn't go both places now. We had to choose. Somebody
15:45
Speaker 1: had to compromise because I'm not going to be running
15:47
Speaker 1: all over town. You know, I'm good, but I'm not
15:50
Speaker 1: that good. Okay, for unity, somebody had to give up
15:54
Speaker 1: on their preference. so that they might be able to
15:59
Speaker 1: have the power that comes when we unite. But the
16:04
Speaker 1: problem is, who's going to bend? Who's going to bend?
16:10
Speaker 1: Who's going to bend? Who's going to bend? Especially when
16:13
Speaker 1: you have been trained that winning is more important than
16:17
Speaker 1: being effective. Y'all not going to let me meddle with
16:23
Speaker 1: you today. I can hope we get out of here,
16:27
Speaker 1: but I'm up to something with this unity. Let's go
16:31
Speaker 1: a little bit deeper. Can we go deeper? What is
16:34
Speaker 1: a church? What is a church? A church is not
16:40
Speaker 1: pews or stained glass windows. A church is not a preacher.
16:46
Speaker 1: It's not a preacher. There are people who have church
16:50
Speaker 1: who don't have a preacher. They still have church. What
16:55
Speaker 1: is church? It's not a choir. Jesus lived his whole
16:59
Speaker 1: life and never heard a choir. It's not a Hammond
17:04
Speaker 1: B3 organ. Jesus never saw an organ in his life.
17:09
Speaker 1: And yet he preached 5,000 people out into the desert.
17:13
Speaker 1: With no microphone, no organ, no praise team, no dancers,
17:18
Speaker 1: no flyers, no tweets, no anything. He just preached with
17:23
Speaker 1: power and the word all by itself drew them out
17:27
Speaker 1: and they came because Jesus had a word. He spoke
17:30
Speaker 1: with authority. He spoke with conviction. He spoke with power.
17:36
Speaker 1: A church is not a building. They could turn this
17:39
Speaker 1: into a skating rink. They could turn it into an auditorium.
17:43
Speaker 1: They could turn it into anything they wanted to turn
17:46
Speaker 1: it into. It is not the stone walls that are sacred.
17:52
Speaker 1: They're not sacred. They're not sacred. It's just concrete. I
17:57
Speaker 1: was here when they poured it. It's just concrete, tilt
18:00
Speaker 1: wall concrete. They poured the concrete on the floor and
18:04
Speaker 1: then stood it up side by side until they built
18:08
Speaker 1: what we call the potter's house. But the real essence
18:11
Speaker 1: of the potter's house is not a building. The real
18:16
Speaker 1: essence of the potter's house is not Bishop Jakes. The
18:21
Speaker 1: reason it can't be Bishop Jakes is because Bishop Jakes
18:24
Speaker 1: is expendable. Bishop Jakes is not infallible. Bishop Jakes is
18:30
Speaker 1: not eternal. Bishop Jakes is not everlasting. It can't be
18:35
Speaker 1: built on a person. Anything built on a person will
18:37
Speaker 1: come down. Anything built on a person will come down.
18:43
Speaker 1: Anything built on a person will come down. A marriage
18:47
Speaker 1: built on a person will come down. A company that's
18:50
Speaker 1: built on a person will come down. Apple is still producing...
18:57
Speaker 1: All kinds of telephones. Steve Jobs is dead. They're still
19:01
Speaker 1: going on about their business. Let me tell you why
19:04
Speaker 1: I was down in Disney not too long ago. Walt
19:07
Speaker 1: Disney been dead. If he came back to life, he
19:10
Speaker 1: wouldn't even recognize me. Disneyland, Disney World. He wouldn't recognize
19:15
Speaker 1: the rides. He wouldn't recognize the movies. He wouldn't recognize
19:19
Speaker 1: where it came from because it wasn't built on a man.
19:23
Speaker 1: You cannot build things on a person and expect it
19:27
Speaker 1: to be powerful. It cannot just be your way or
19:30
Speaker 1: the highway. It can't just be built around grandma. Grandma
19:35
Speaker 1: can't have the last word about everything. She can't be
19:38
Speaker 1: right about everything. You can't tell your children everything because
19:43
Speaker 1: you did enough messing up in your own life that
19:46
Speaker 1: you know you're not that sure which way they ought
19:49
Speaker 1: to go. go. Glory to God, if you told them
19:52
Speaker 1: the real truth of how many times you took wrong exit,
19:56
Speaker 1: wrong turns, had to get back up again, failed now,
19:59
Speaker 1: got yourself together, but you're perpetrating as if you were
20:03
Speaker 1: an expert when in reality, unity causes humility. You have
20:08
Speaker 1: to be humble enough to consider the fact that I
20:12
Speaker 1: might be wrong I could be wrong I could be
20:15
Speaker 1: wrong in how I'm handling this I could be wrong
20:18
Speaker 1: in what I said I could be wrong about what
20:21
Speaker 1: I did just because you think differently doesn't mean you're
20:25
Speaker 1: wrong because you think differently from me behold how good
20:31
Speaker 1: and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in
20:35
Speaker 1: unity what is it church? If Jesus came in here today,
20:38
Speaker 1: you'd have to explain to him what this is. You'd
20:42
Speaker 1: have to explain Jesus never saw a deacon. Deacons came
20:48
Speaker 1: in the first century church. It did not exist in
20:50
Speaker 1: the days of Jesus Christ. He did not see a
20:53
Speaker 1: deacon anywhere. Jesus never saw a pulpit. Jesus ministered outside
20:59
Speaker 1: in the street, in the synagogues. He didn't see a pulpit.
21:03
Speaker 1: You would have to take Jesus around and explain everything
21:06
Speaker 1: in the building. That's the balcony, Jesus. That's for the
21:10
Speaker 1: people who came in late and they want to be discreet.
21:19
Speaker 1: Or that's for the people who want to see everything.
21:23
Speaker 1: Because from the balcony you can see everything. Everything. Okay,
21:28
Speaker 1: so that's the balcony, Jesus, and that's how they work.
21:30
Speaker 1: Those are drapes, Jesus. This is outside. This is where
21:34
Speaker 1: we go to get coffee. What is coffee? Jesus would
21:37
Speaker 1: have no concept. So what is church? Church could be
21:42
Speaker 1: in a living room, could be in a car. It
21:44
Speaker 1: could be in a house. It could be in Kroger's.
21:47
Speaker 1: It could be in Walmart. It could be in Kmart.
21:50
Speaker 1: Anywhere we assemble together, that's church. That's church. Wherever we
21:57
Speaker 1: get together, that creates church. Look at this scripture right quick.
22:01
Speaker 1: Ephesians 2, 19 through 22. I want you to look
22:04
Speaker 1: at this scripture so you begin to understand what God
22:08
Speaker 1: means when he says church. Ephesians 2, 19. When you
22:13
Speaker 1: have his amen. It's on the screen. Y'all act like
22:18
Speaker 1: y'all really did something, like you found something. And you
22:22
Speaker 1: looking all at the screen. It's on the screen. Now, therefore,
22:27
Speaker 1: ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens
22:31
Speaker 1: with the saints and of the household of God. Okay,
22:35
Speaker 1: so we were strangers, we were foreigners, and we were
22:38
Speaker 1: not citizens with the household of God. He said, but
22:42
Speaker 1: now it's changed and are built upon the foundation of
22:45
Speaker 1: the apostles and prophets. Jesus Christ himself, Jesus Christ himself
22:52
Speaker 1: being the chief cornerstone. Come on. in whom all the
22:56
Speaker 1: building fitly framed together, groweth unto a holy temple in
23:01
Speaker 1: the Lord. This is not the kind of construction we
23:04
Speaker 1: do on a building. The Bible is saying that every
23:07
Speaker 1: time God adds to the church, That makes the temple
23:11
Speaker 1: of God. The temple is you. The temple is you.
23:14
Speaker 1: When you walk in, you become the temple. Our collective
23:18
Speaker 1: expression of God is like the temple. Our individual expression
23:23
Speaker 1: is like the tabernacle. So when all of our tabernacles,
23:26
Speaker 1: which just means God on the move. comes together into
23:29
Speaker 1: one place, we form a habitation for the Lord. The
23:33
Speaker 1: Bible says that God inhabits the praises of his people
23:38
Speaker 1: so that when we all get together, God inhabits our praises.
23:42
Speaker 1: Isaiah 6 said that the cherubims were going around and
23:46
Speaker 1: around and they weren't even talking to God. They were
23:49
Speaker 1: talking to each other. They were saying, holy, holy, holy
23:54
Speaker 1: is the Lord God of hosts. The whole earth is
23:56
Speaker 1: full of his glory. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
24:00
Speaker 1: God of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory.
24:03
Speaker 1: And the Bible said that God came down and his
24:07
Speaker 1: train filled the temple. When we stop talking about each other.
24:11
Speaker 1: And start talking about the holiness of God. And the
24:14
Speaker 1: power of God. And the glory of God. And we
24:18
Speaker 1: get that unity that we're talking about. Where we are
24:21
Speaker 1: in one place with one accord. God will come down
24:24
Speaker 1: and sit down in the midst of you. And the
24:27
Speaker 1: Bible said that his train filled the temple. You must understand,
24:32
Speaker 1: if you were king of a small kingdom... you had
24:35
Speaker 1: a small train. If you were a king of a
24:38
Speaker 1: medium-sized kingdom, you had a medium train. But if you
24:42
Speaker 1: were a king of a huge kingdom, you had a
24:45
Speaker 1: massive train. So the Bible says that his kingdom was
24:49
Speaker 1: so strong that his train... Fill the temple. That means
24:54
Speaker 1: your God is king of kings. He's Lord of lords.
24:57
Speaker 1: He's a mighty God. He's the prince of peace. And
25:00
Speaker 1: of his kingdom, there shall be no end. There's no beginning.
25:05
Speaker 1: There's no end. His kingdom goes on, whether there's a
25:09
Speaker 1: this or that or the other. And it's this God
25:12
Speaker 1: that says, whenever we get together and unify, things begin
25:17
Speaker 1: to happen. The reason we don't see the miracles that
25:20
Speaker 1: we used to see It's because somebody's playing on the
25:23
Speaker 1: phone while the service is going on. Somebody's texting their
25:27
Speaker 1: daughter and saying, put the pot roast in the oven.
25:30
Speaker 1: Somebody else over there is humming a hymn that they
25:34
Speaker 1: used to sing years ago. Somebody else, their mind is
25:37
Speaker 1: on where they're parked and how far they got to
25:39
Speaker 1: walk to get back to church. And because we never
25:42
Speaker 1: bring our minds into one thing, at one place, on
25:47
Speaker 1: one time. The spirit of division is as the spirit
25:51
Speaker 1: of witchcraft. Satan wants to divide us, distract us, worry us,
25:56
Speaker 1: get on our nerves, get us thinking about other things
26:00
Speaker 1: because he knows that if we got on one accord,
26:03
Speaker 1: we could drive diabetes away, cancer away, leukemia away. He
26:08
Speaker 1: knows that if we ever got on one accord, Every
26:12
Speaker 1: demonic force that's been attacking you would have to get
26:15
Speaker 1: out of your... He knows that if we got on
26:18
Speaker 1: one accord, we could speak peace over your body and
26:21
Speaker 1: that lump would come out of your breast. He knows
26:24
Speaker 1: if we ever got on one accord, we could speak
26:27
Speaker 1: to your family and your whole family would be on
26:30
Speaker 1: the altar and get saved. The enemy is so afraid
26:33
Speaker 1: of unity and it's so rare and it's so hard
26:37
Speaker 1: to get because we are so opinionated, because we are
26:41
Speaker 1: so self-consumed. It's hard to get unity because we're so egotistical.
26:46
Speaker 1: We would rather keep our ego and lose our miracle
26:51
Speaker 1: than give up our ego and receive our miracle. But
26:55
Speaker 1: I have to believe that there's somebody in here today
26:58
Speaker 1: that's humble enough To give up your ego to have
27:03
Speaker 1: a move from God. Something so powerful that things begin
27:08
Speaker 1: to change because that is the church. Touch somebody and say,
27:12
Speaker 1: you are the church. Amen. I am the church. When
27:16
Speaker 1: we get together, we are built together. Ephesians 2.22 says,
27:21
Speaker 1: ye also are builded together. God builds us together. God
27:26
Speaker 1: builds us together. God builds us together. Now, in the
27:29
Speaker 1: Bible days, they didn't have cinder block. When they built
27:32
Speaker 1: you together, you had to cut the rocks off. To
27:35
Speaker 1: make them fit in layers. And so God has to
27:39
Speaker 1: cut all of us to get us to fit. Somebody
27:42
Speaker 1: has to cut your mouth. Somebody has to cut the
27:45
Speaker 1: way you think. Somebody has to cut the way you
27:48
Speaker 1: won't talk to anybody. And you hold everything in. But
27:52
Speaker 1: God is steadily cutting. so that we can fit together,
27:55
Speaker 1: so that we can finally be jointly tied together. Because
27:59
Speaker 1: when we get together, something is going to happen. I
28:02
Speaker 1: can feel it in this room right now. Something is
28:05
Speaker 1: about to happen in this room. I can feel the
28:08
Speaker 1: density of the Holy Spirit. I can feel the complexity
28:11
Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit. I can feel a change in
28:14
Speaker 1: the atmosphere right now because we're starting to bring our
28:18
Speaker 1: minds together. We're starting to get on one accord. We're
28:21
Speaker 1: through texting each other, writing notes, where we're going to
28:24
Speaker 1: eat after church. The more we come together, the higher
28:28
Speaker 1: the wave of the Holy Spirit. At first, it's going
28:31
Speaker 1: to be ankle deep. But if we keep on getting unified,
28:35
Speaker 1: it's going to be up to our knees. And if
28:37
Speaker 1: we keep on being unified, it'll be up to our waist.
28:41
Speaker 1: And if we keep on going, there'll be water to
28:44
Speaker 1: swim in. Don't you know if two or three, we
28:47
Speaker 1: ain't got to have the whole church. If two or three,
28:49
Speaker 1: if your section, if your corner, if you and the
28:52
Speaker 1: three ladies on your row, if you and the three
28:55
Speaker 1: gentlemen on your row decide to get together, you could
28:59
Speaker 1: change situations. Peter and John came up at the hour
29:03
Speaker 1: of prayer, saying it was the third hour of the day,
29:06
Speaker 1: and came on a lame man, and the lame man
29:10
Speaker 1: was laid at the gate called Beautiful. And they said,
29:12
Speaker 1: silver and gold have I none, but I got unity,
29:17
Speaker 1: such as I have, give I unto thee. In the
29:20
Speaker 1: name of Jesus. Rise up and walk. Let me show
29:27
Speaker 1: you the unity. The text says, look on us. Look
29:32
Speaker 1: on us. We are together on your healing. We are
29:35
Speaker 1: committed to your healing. That's why I come to church,
29:39
Speaker 1: because I want to find somebody that's committed to me
29:43
Speaker 1: getting better me getting stronger me getting healed me coming
29:47
Speaker 1: up out of a ditch that's why i need to
29:50
Speaker 1: come to church i can praise god at home i
29:52
Speaker 1: don't need none of y'all to praise god i praise
29:55
Speaker 1: god in my living room I can praise God in
29:57
Speaker 1: my shower. I can praise God in my house. I
30:00
Speaker 1: can praise God in my garage. I can praise God
30:03
Speaker 1: in my car. I can praise God all by myself.
30:06
Speaker 1: I don't have to have a drum. I don't have
30:08
Speaker 1: to have a tambourine. I don't have to have a piano.
30:11
Speaker 1: I don't have to have a musician. I don't have
30:13
Speaker 1: a song. I don't even have to have a good voice.
30:17
Speaker 1: I can take my raggedy, cracked up, out of tune,
30:21
Speaker 1: broken down voice and make a joyful noise unto the Lord.
30:25
Speaker 1: And if I make a joyful noise unto the Lord,
30:28
Speaker 1: the Lord will come in this place and shake this
30:31
Speaker 1: place up and do something amazing in my life. It's
30:35
Speaker 1: not how melodious you are. It's not how talented you are.
30:40
Speaker 1: It's not how many words you know. It's not how
30:43
Speaker 1: well you preach. But if you get serious with God,
30:47
Speaker 1: God's going to do something amazing with you. Wonder what
30:52
Speaker 1: would happen. If we got together in this place, wonder
30:55
Speaker 1: what would happen. Wonder who would get healed. Wonder who
30:59
Speaker 1: would get set free. Wonder who would have a yoke
31:02
Speaker 1: broken in their life. If we just get together and
31:05
Speaker 1: gang the devil like he gangs us. If we would
31:09
Speaker 1: gang him, we would drive him out of your house.
31:13
Speaker 1: Drive him out of your mind. Drive him out of
31:16
Speaker 1: your emotions. Drive him out of your spouse. Drive him
31:21
Speaker 1: out of your life. All we got to do is
31:24
Speaker 1: get together. Look at somebody and say, let's get together.
31:29
Speaker 1: Because the scripture here teaches, can I go deeper? The
31:35
Speaker 1: scripture here teaches that if we can achieve unity, we
31:41
Speaker 1: will get oiled. Unity brings the oil. Say that with me.
31:48
Speaker 1: Unity brings the oil. The reason we don't have more
31:52
Speaker 1: oil is that we got too many agendas. Unity brings
31:59
Speaker 1: the oil. It is like the oil that fell upon
32:03
Speaker 1: the head of Aaron onto his beard's and onto his skirts.
32:08
Speaker 1: Once you get unity, God's reward is to give you
32:12
Speaker 1: the oil. Now you have to understand God's oil. When
32:17
Speaker 1: God says that he anoints Aaron, he doesn't mean he
32:20
Speaker 1: made a cross on his forehead. He doesn't mean he
32:24
Speaker 1: stopped by Kroger's and got a little dot of oil
32:27
Speaker 1: and poured it down on his hair. No, no, no, no.
32:30
Speaker 1: When they poured oil on you, number one, it was heavy.
32:34
Speaker 1: It was full of incense. It was full of aromatic
32:38
Speaker 1: senses that touched the smell of it. The anointing had
32:43
Speaker 1: a smell. The anointing had a smell. You didn't hear me.
32:47
Speaker 1: The anointing had a smell. Young folks, you got to
32:49
Speaker 1: catch this. Just because somebody gets loud don't mean they're anointed.
32:54
Speaker 1: The anointing has a smell. The anointing has an answer.
32:58
Speaker 1: When an anointing is real, when an anointing gets real,
33:05
Speaker 1: you don't have to fight. You don't have to pull.
33:07
Speaker 1: You don't have to yell because the anointing has a smell.
33:15
Speaker 1: Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over.
33:20
Speaker 1: That means the same oil that hits the head, hits
33:23
Speaker 1: the beards, hits the skirts. Do you hear what I'm
33:27
Speaker 1: saying to you? The priest wore a linen ephod. Linen
33:32
Speaker 1: is what we used to make tablecloths out of. And
33:35
Speaker 1: we used them for tablecloths because they wouldn't hold the stain.
33:39
Speaker 1: It was designed to make the oil slide. So God said,
33:43
Speaker 1: I didn't anoint you for you to soak it up
33:46
Speaker 1: for yourself. I anointed you so that anything that got
33:50
Speaker 1: close to you would get up under the anointing of
33:53
Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost. I better get out. I better stop
33:56
Speaker 1: because I feel something pushing me just about right now.
34:00
Speaker 1: If you're sitting beside somebody that's got a little linen,
34:04
Speaker 1: if the oil falls on them, you don't have to
34:07
Speaker 1: fight for it. It's going to slide. It's going to slide.
34:12
Speaker 1: Your cup is going to run over. Your saucer is
34:15
Speaker 1: going to get full. Your body is going to get healed.
34:19
Speaker 1: You're going to feel better and not even know why
34:21
Speaker 1: you felt better. Because when the anointing falls on you,
34:25
Speaker 1: it changes everything. Depression has got to go. Heartaches have
34:30
Speaker 1: got to go. Worry has got to go. Worry and
34:34
Speaker 1: the anointing cannot stay in the same place. If you've
34:38
Speaker 1: been worried all week, I dare you to stand there
34:41
Speaker 1: and get anointed. Because if the anointing comes down, the
34:45
Speaker 1: worry going to have to run out the room. If
34:48
Speaker 1: the anointing comes down, the weakness is going to have
34:51
Speaker 1: to run out of the room. If the anointing comes down,
34:55
Speaker 1: that headache, that migraine has got to come out of
34:57
Speaker 1: the room. If the anointing comes down, my God, let
35:02
Speaker 1: me sit beside somebody that's got some power. Let me
35:06
Speaker 1: sit beside somebody that's got some anointing. Let me sit
35:11
Speaker 1: beside somebody that I can touch and agree with so
35:15
Speaker 1: the yokes can't be broken. Bondages can be destroyed so
35:19
Speaker 1: that the enemy can be consumed. I need your help
35:23
Speaker 1: right now. I'm going to just get you to preach
35:26
Speaker 1: for a minute. I want you to touch three people
35:29
Speaker 1: and tell them something is going to happen in here
35:31
Speaker 1: this morning. Something is going to happen in here this morning.
35:38
Speaker 1: Something is going to happen in here this morning. I
35:41
Speaker 1: feel us coming into agreement. I feel us getting on
35:44
Speaker 1: one accord. I feel us coming into agreement. I feel
35:49
Speaker 1: our minds coming in. I feel us forgetting about ourselves.
35:54
Speaker 1: I feel us coming into agreement. If two or three
35:57
Speaker 1: agree as touching anything on earth, it shall be done.
36:02
Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor and say, can you agree with me?
36:06
Speaker 1: that every yoke would be broken, that every weapon would
36:10
Speaker 1: be destroyed, that every demon would be defeated, that every
36:15
Speaker 1: sickness will flee. Look at your neighbor and say, can
36:18
Speaker 1: you agree with me that I'll leave here better than
36:22
Speaker 1: I came? Can you agree with me that whatever generational
36:26
Speaker 1: curses have been on my life, that they're going to
36:30
Speaker 1: break off of me before I leave this room today?
36:34
Speaker 1: Can you agree with me that my childhood will not
36:39
Speaker 1: destroy my adulthood? Can you agree with me? That my
36:43
Speaker 1: little boy won't kill my grown man. Can you agree
36:48
Speaker 1: with me? Can you agree with me? Wait for an answer.
36:53
Speaker 1: If you don't get the right answer, move. And get
36:56
Speaker 1: beside somebody that can come into agreement. Because the text
37:00
Speaker 1: is talking about agreement. And if we get into agreement,
37:04
Speaker 1: the oil is going to flow. Touch your neighbor and say,
37:07
Speaker 1: feel this oil. I got oil in my hands. I
37:11
Speaker 1: got oil in my feet. I got oil in my soul.
37:15
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have made it if I wasn't oily. I
37:18
Speaker 1: would have died if I wasn't oily. I would have
37:21
Speaker 1: committed suicide if I wasn't oily. But every time the
37:25
Speaker 1: devil tried to take me out. The oil started coming
37:29
Speaker 1: out of my skin. It started coming out of my pores.
37:33
Speaker 1: It's not that you take oil and put it in.
37:36
Speaker 1: Oil comes out. The oil came out of my spirit
37:40
Speaker 1: and kept me alive. The old folks used to say
37:43
Speaker 1: he's all over me. And he's keeping me alive. He's
37:48
Speaker 1: all over me. And he's keeping me alive. That's why
37:52
Speaker 1: the witch didn't get me. He's keeping me alive. That's
37:56
Speaker 1: why the sickness didn't get me. He's keeping me alive.
38:00
Speaker 1: That's why you ain't gonna get me. He's keeping me alive.
38:04
Speaker 1: And if God be for you... He's more than the
38:08
Speaker 1: world against you. And I came to tell you that
38:10
Speaker 1: God is on your side. Slap your neighbor and say,
38:15
Speaker 1: God is on your side. If your husband's not with you,
38:19
Speaker 1: if your boyfriend's not with you, if your wife is
38:23
Speaker 1: not with you, if your boss don't like you, if
38:26
Speaker 1: your co-workers lie down on you, God is on your side.
38:31
Speaker 1: Somebody holler at him again. God is on my side.
38:35
Speaker 1: God is on my side. He's here to deliver. He's
38:39
Speaker 1: here to make a way. He's here to set you free.
38:43
Speaker 1: And the Bible said it's like the oil. Let me
38:46
Speaker 1: show you this. I'm getting excited. I'm getting excited. Y'all
38:49
Speaker 1: get me all excited right here. Y'all get me all
38:52
Speaker 1: excited right here. I feel something about to accelerate in
38:55
Speaker 1: this place. Something is about to accelerate. Something is about
39:00
Speaker 1: to accelerate. The thing about oil is that it will accelerate.
39:04
Speaker 1: You can put oil in a glass and turn it
39:07
Speaker 1: into a lamp because oil will accelerate. But when he
39:13
Speaker 1: says that it fell and slid, this is teaching from
39:17
Speaker 1: acceleration to alignment. There's no need for you to be jealous.
39:26
Speaker 1: of anybody. All you got to do is get in
39:29
Speaker 1: your place. And if you get in your place and
39:33
Speaker 1: stay there, the same oil that fell upon the head
39:37
Speaker 1: is going to get down to the skirts. Look at
39:40
Speaker 1: your neighbor and say, don't move. Don't move. The devil
39:44
Speaker 1: is trying to move you out of your space. But
39:47
Speaker 1: hell is a liar. All I got to do is
39:50
Speaker 1: stay right here. And if the oil hits the head,
39:53
Speaker 1: it's going to fall to the beards. It's going to
39:56
Speaker 1: fall to the skirts. Why would I be mad because
40:00
Speaker 1: the oil hit the head when I know that if
40:03
Speaker 1: I'm in alignment, the same oil... that falls on you
40:08
Speaker 1: will fall on me. If I stay in alignment, if
40:12
Speaker 1: I refuse to move, if I don't give place to
40:15
Speaker 1: the devil, if I haven't done all to stand, I
40:19
Speaker 1: just stand. If I don't run, if I don't fly,
40:24
Speaker 1: if I don't leap, if I just stand. If I
40:27
Speaker 1: stand here, the oil is going to hit me right
40:31
Speaker 1: where I am. Y'all don't hear what I'm saying to you.
40:35
Speaker 1: You don't know where you're standing. You're standing in a
40:39
Speaker 1: place that if you just stand there, be still, and
40:44
Speaker 1: see the salvation of the Lord, the oil is headed
40:47
Speaker 1: your way. Touch everybody down your line and say the
40:52
Speaker 1: oil is headed your way. The oil is headed your way.
41:02
Speaker 1: The oil is headed your way. The oil is headed
41:06
Speaker 1: your way. The oil is headed your way. Don't get frustrated.
41:11
Speaker 1: Don't give in. Don't give up. The oil is headed
41:15
Speaker 1: your way. Neither give place to the devil. I'm not
41:20
Speaker 1: going to give you my territory. This is my territory.
41:24
Speaker 1: God gave me this territory. And if I stay where
41:27
Speaker 1: he put me, he won't have to walk through the
41:30
Speaker 1: garden and say, Adam, where art thou? He wants you
41:34
Speaker 1: to stay where I left you. Because if you stay
41:37
Speaker 1: where I left you, the oil is going to fall
41:40
Speaker 1: on you. My God, who am I preaching to? The
41:44
Speaker 1: devil's trying to move you. He's trying to shake you.
41:48
Speaker 1: He's trying to break you. But the oil is headed
41:51
Speaker 1: your way. My God, it's coming. It's coming in the balcony.
41:57
Speaker 1: It's coming in the choir stand. It's coming in the pulpit.
42:01
Speaker 1: It's falling on the elders board. It's falling on the deacons.
42:05
Speaker 1: Wherever God finds unity, the oil is going to fall
42:10
Speaker 1: on them forever. All I got to do is get
42:13
Speaker 1: it in alignment. God don't care whether you black. God
42:16
Speaker 1: doesn't care whether you white. God don't care whether you brown,
42:20
Speaker 1: whether you a millennial, whether you a Gen X, Gen Q,
42:25
Speaker 1: Gen W, Gen Z. All God cares about is that
42:29
Speaker 1: you get in unity. And if you get in unity
42:33
Speaker 1: and stay in your place, the blessing will fall on you.
42:37
Speaker 1: The oil is not prejudiced. The Lord does not prefer
42:41
Speaker 1: rich people over poor people, beautiful people over ugly people.
42:46
Speaker 1: You can be as ugly as you want to, but
42:49
Speaker 1: if you stand there, the anointing will fall on you.
42:52
Speaker 1: And the Bible said he beautified the meek with salvation.
42:58
Speaker 1: God said, I'll make you beautiful. I'll make you shine.
43:02
Speaker 1: I'll make you be bright. Who am I preaching to?
43:06
Speaker 1: Take three seconds and give God a praise right now.
43:12
Speaker 1: Just a praise. Just a praise. Just a praise. Just
43:20
Speaker 1: a praise. Any kind of praise. Any kind of praise,
43:26
Speaker 1: look down your road and see if they're in alignment.
43:30
Speaker 1: If everybody praises God on your road, something is going
43:35
Speaker 1: to happen. If they get in alignment, if they come
43:39
Speaker 1: into agreement, the Spirit is going to detonate in this place.
43:45
Speaker 1: I feel something about to break loose in this place.
43:49
Speaker 1: That the devil doesn't want. The devil is a liar.
43:54
Speaker 1: You sitting up there with your legs crossed. But if
43:57
Speaker 1: you don't cross your legs and open your mouth and
44:01
Speaker 1: praise the Lord, I'll cut your therapist bill in half.
44:05
Speaker 1: I'll cut your psychologist bill in half. I'll get you
44:10
Speaker 1: up off of that couch if you open your mouth.
44:13
Speaker 1: And start praising God. Every yoke in your life has
44:18
Speaker 1: got to break off of your life. Y'all don't hear
44:22
Speaker 1: what I'm saying to you. Y'all don't hear what unity
44:25
Speaker 1: will do. God's got something for you. God's got something
44:30
Speaker 1: for you. God's got something for you. God's got something
44:35
Speaker 1: for you. God's got something for you. You think you're
44:38
Speaker 1: here on assignment, but God's got something for you. There's
44:43
Speaker 1: something God wants to show you in this place today.
44:47
Speaker 1: If I'm preaching right, holler at your boy. Take me
45:14
Speaker 1: back to my main scripture, Psalm 133. There's one more
45:18
Speaker 1: thing I want to get there. I'm almost done. I'm
45:20
Speaker 1: almost done. It says, behold how good and pleasant it
45:24
Speaker 1: is for brethren to dwell together in unity. It is
45:27
Speaker 1: like the precious ointment upon the head that ran down
45:30
Speaker 1: upon the beard, even Aaron's beard that went down to
45:34
Speaker 1: the skirts of his garments. Come on. It is like
45:39
Speaker 1: it is as the dew of Hermon. As the dew
45:43
Speaker 1: that descended upon the mountains of Zion. Hermon is a
45:47
Speaker 1: mountain that collected dew down at the bottom of the mountain.
45:51
Speaker 1: And all kind of flowers just automatically grew because of
45:55
Speaker 1: the descension of the dew down the mountain. In the
45:59
Speaker 1: New Testament, it was called the Mount of Transfiguration. But
46:04
Speaker 1: in the Old Testament, it is called the Mount of Hermon.
46:07
Speaker 1: It's a mountain where God moves. Once you get in
46:11
Speaker 1: the flow, God will move. Once you get in the flow,
46:15
Speaker 1: God will move. Once you get in the flow, God
46:18
Speaker 1: will move. If anybody gets in the flow, God will move.
46:23
Speaker 1: But I want you to see something. I want you
46:25
Speaker 1: to see something, and I'll be done. I want you
46:27
Speaker 1: to see something. Because you could get into Aaron's beard
46:31
Speaker 1: and get stuck. And you could get into Mount Hermon
46:34
Speaker 1: and Mount Zion and really teach three weeks of Bible
46:37
Speaker 1: classes talking about Mount Zion. I don't have time to
46:40
Speaker 1: do that. I want to get into this. As the
46:42
Speaker 1: dew of Hermon and as the dew that descended upon
46:46
Speaker 1: the mountains of Zion. For there... The Lord commanded the blessing.
46:53
Speaker 1: Say that with me. For there the Lord commanded the blessing.
46:58
Speaker 1: I want to tell you this, that whatever God commands,
47:05
Speaker 1: that's what's going to happen in your life. Whatever God commands,
47:10
Speaker 1: that's what's going to happen in your life. You can
47:13
Speaker 1: stop swiping them witches on Instagram to tell you who
47:18
Speaker 1: your enemy is and who's coming back in your life.
47:21
Speaker 1: Whatever God commands, that's what's going to happen. You might
47:26
Speaker 1: as well calm down and stop trying to manipulate people
47:30
Speaker 1: and just wait on God. They that wait upon the
47:34
Speaker 1: Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up on
47:38
Speaker 1: wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary.
47:42
Speaker 1: They shall walk and not faint. When you go to
47:45
Speaker 1: the doctor and he tells you you're sick and that
47:48
Speaker 1: you're going to die, look at him and say, I
47:50
Speaker 1: thank you for your opinion. But whatever God commands, if
47:55
Speaker 1: God says live, I can't die. And if God says die,
48:01
Speaker 1: I can't live. I've learned whatever state I'm in to
48:05
Speaker 1: be content. Hallelujah to God. When I had my attack,
48:11
Speaker 1: I had the strangest peace you ever saw in your
48:14
Speaker 1: life because my future is God's business. Amen. Do whatever
48:19
Speaker 1: you want to do. Whatever God commands, that's what's going
48:23
Speaker 1: to be done. You can get a lock on my hair,
48:26
Speaker 1: but whatever God commands, that's what's going to be done.
48:30
Speaker 1: You can try to sabotage my job, but whatever God commands,
48:36
Speaker 1: that's what's going to be done. I decree and declare
48:41
Speaker 1: in this place today... That the will of God will
48:44
Speaker 1: be over your life when God commands it. It will
48:49
Speaker 1: be done. The centurion said, don't go to my house.
48:53
Speaker 1: Just stand in the middle of the road and command it.
48:57
Speaker 1: And if you command it, my servant will be healed.
49:01
Speaker 1: Whatever God commands, with a withered hand, he commanded, stretch
49:06
Speaker 1: forth your hand. Whatever God commands, that's what's going to happen.
49:11
Speaker 1: Lazarus had been dead so long, he was stinking, and
49:16
Speaker 1: a stone was rolled on top of him. But whatever
49:19
Speaker 1: God commands, when God stood there and said, come forth,
49:24
Speaker 1: the dead man came back to life. The blood started
49:28
Speaker 1: moving through the veins. The veins started moving through the arteries.
49:32
Speaker 1: The heart started pumping blood. The muscles came back to life.
49:37
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, a stinking... corroding dead man
49:42
Speaker 1: started leaping. I see somebody that's been in a dead place,
49:46
Speaker 1: but God is getting ready to make you leap. God
49:49
Speaker 1: is getting ready to make you leap. God is getting
49:52
Speaker 1: ready to take you in a new direction. Peter was
49:56
Speaker 1: out on the boat, and he said, Lord, if it's you,
49:59
Speaker 1: bid me to come. Because whatever God commands, if God
50:04
Speaker 1: says come, I can walk on water. If God says come,
50:09
Speaker 1: I can get a house with bank credit. If God
50:12
Speaker 1: says come, I can get a spouse in my old age.
50:16
Speaker 1: If God says come, I can get a miracle from
50:20
Speaker 1: the Lord. Whatever God commands. Hallelujah. Go on and play
50:25
Speaker 1: with your tarot cards. Go on and burn your incense.
50:29
Speaker 1: Go on and do whatever you got to do. But
50:31
Speaker 1: when you get through burning, whatever God commands, that's what's
50:36
Speaker 1: going to happen in your life. Whatever God commands, that's
50:41
Speaker 1: what's going to be done. I'm about to close now.
50:44
Speaker 1: I'm finished. Because your life is in his mouth. And
50:50
Speaker 1: whatever he says you're going to get, you're going to
50:54
Speaker 1: get it. If God speaks life, nobody's speaking death. will
50:59
Speaker 1: be able to stop you. If God speaks death, all
51:03
Speaker 1: the doctors in the world cannot bring you back. And
51:07
Speaker 1: if I had a God that whatever he commanded was
51:11
Speaker 1: going to happen in my life and all I had
51:13
Speaker 1: to do was unify, I would get unified right now
51:18
Speaker 1: and give God a praise like I never praised him before. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever.
51:40
Speaker 1: As I come to a close. As I come to
51:53
Speaker 1: a close. to a close I started wondering what was
52:06
Speaker 1: going on in David's life and several theologians believe that
52:13
Speaker 1: this is the time after David had been anointed David
52:17
Speaker 1: was anointed three times first by Samuel to be king
52:22
Speaker 1: second to be the king of Judah and finally to
52:25
Speaker 1: be the king of Israel Judah and Israel had split apart.
52:31
Speaker 1: Though they were related, they had split apart. And David
52:37
Speaker 1: was the king of Judah, but he wasn't the king
52:40
Speaker 1: of Israel. And so what David did is he got
52:45
Speaker 1: the Ark of the Covenant. And he brought the Ark
52:48
Speaker 1: of the Covenant back, but he didn't know how to
52:50
Speaker 1: do it. That means that you can be assigned and
52:54
Speaker 1: still not know how to do it. Y'all don't hear
53:00
Speaker 1: what I'm saying to you. So as he was learning
53:04
Speaker 1: how to do it, Uzzah died. David got discouraged and
53:10
Speaker 1: he went and put the Ark of the Covenant in
53:12
Speaker 1: the house of Obed-Edom. And God blessed Obed-Edom so that
53:17
Speaker 1: David got jealous and said, I got to get the
53:21
Speaker 1: Ark of the Covenant back because it's not about leading people.
53:27
Speaker 1: It's about getting you together And the better you get
53:33
Speaker 1: at getting you together, you can get them together. So
53:38
Speaker 1: David said, I got to get the Ark of the
53:39
Speaker 1: Covenant back. And I'm willing to do whatever it takes
53:46
Speaker 1: to get it back. I'm willing to dance out of
53:51
Speaker 1: my clothes. I'm willing to give up my dignity. I'm
53:56
Speaker 1: willing to look like a fool as long as I
53:59
Speaker 1: got God's presence. The only thing I got to have,
54:05
Speaker 1: the only thing I got to have is God's presence.
54:09
Speaker 1: I ain't got to have my house. I ain't got
54:12
Speaker 1: to have no money. I ain't got to have my friends.
54:16
Speaker 1: I got to have God's presence. And he brought God's
54:26
Speaker 1: presence back. David has Judah behind him. And Israel in
54:34
Speaker 1: front of him. And he brought them back together after
54:41
Speaker 1: years of warfare. You may have had years of disunity
54:51
Speaker 1: in your own house. Years of fighting and damage and
55:00
Speaker 1: bruise and blood and troubles. But David kept on going
55:06
Speaker 1: till he got it right. Here's the weirdest thing. David
55:10
Speaker 1: was a warrior. He was known for being a warrior.
55:16
Speaker 1: He killed Goliath. He cut the foreskins off 100 Philistines
55:21
Speaker 1: and threw them at the feet of Saul. He snuck
55:25
Speaker 1: into Saul's tent while he was sleeping, could have killed
55:28
Speaker 1: him and didn't do it. David was a warrior. David
55:31
Speaker 1: was a warrior. David was a warrior. David was a warrior.
55:35
Speaker 1: David was bad. David would fight. David would kill you
55:38
Speaker 1: with a rock. David would kill you with anything. But
55:43
Speaker 1: something happened. Him warring wouldn't bring back the glory. And
55:55
Speaker 1: so the warrior stopped warring and started dancing. And when
56:04
Speaker 1: he started praising God, the anointing rested and he was
56:10
Speaker 1: able to bring him back with a praise because that
56:16
Speaker 1: was what God commanded. This is the key of David.
56:23
Speaker 1: This is the key of David. This will unlock the door.
56:30
Speaker 1: This will make the way. The The key, let me stop, Jesus.
56:38
Speaker 1: The key of David, Moses had to kill animals, turtle doves, goats, sheep,
56:49
Speaker 1: kill them in the basins, wash his hands at the laver,
56:54
Speaker 1: go to the table of shoe bread, go past the
56:58
Speaker 1: altar of incense, and on the day of atonement, he
57:03
Speaker 1: might get all the way into the holies of holies.
57:09
Speaker 1: David didn't kill a turtle dove, a goat, a sheep,
57:18
Speaker 1: or anything. No blood on his hands, no washing, no
57:23
Speaker 1: table of shoe bread, no altar of incense. David found
57:29
Speaker 1: out that I can bypass sin all of those commandments
57:36
Speaker 1: with a praise. Y'all didn't hear me. Y'all didn't hear me.
57:49
Speaker 1: David found out I can bypass all of that with
57:53
Speaker 1: a praise. And the difference between the temple of David
57:58
Speaker 1: and the temple of Moses is is Moses had to
58:02
Speaker 1: do everything right to get in. But David said, enter
58:10
Speaker 1: into his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise
58:15
Speaker 1: and be thankful unto him and bless his name because
58:19
Speaker 1: David had a key. And the key of David means
58:24
Speaker 1: that you can be in your living room. And if
58:26
Speaker 1: you start praising God, God will come in between the
58:30
Speaker 1: couches and the chair and manifest himself because that is
58:36
Speaker 1: the key of David. Now I'm through, I'm through, but
58:41
Speaker 1: I got one thing I gotta do. I gotta do it,
58:43
Speaker 1: I gotta do it, I gotta do it, I gotta
58:45
Speaker 1: do it. I wanna know if you're gonna take your
58:48
Speaker 1: key home or if you're gonna use your key right
58:52
Speaker 1: now to unlock a door. I wanna know how many
58:57
Speaker 1: people have got the key of David. Because if you
59:01
Speaker 1: got the key of David, whatever God commands, it's gonna
59:07
Speaker 1: come to pass it will come it shall come it
59:12
Speaker 1: must come it's gotta come use your key use your
59:18
Speaker 1: key use your key not your sister's key not your
59:23
Speaker 1: brother's key use your key Lift your hands up. I
1:00:03
Speaker 1: surrender to unity. I will curb and curve to fit
1:00:18
Speaker 1: into where you want me to be. I will trust you.
1:00:27
Speaker 1: to set me in the place that I fit jointly
1:00:32
Speaker 1: to be a habitation unto the Lord. And whatever it takes,
1:00:40
Speaker 1: whatever it takes, I just want your spirit to fall
1:00:47
Speaker 1: fresh on me. Now, whatever you command, whatever you say,
1:00:54
Speaker 1: whatever I got to do, Lord, whatever you're doing in
1:01:08
Speaker 1: this earth, don't do it without me. Whatever, whatever, whatever.
1:01:29
Speaker 1: You're going in this place. Don't do it. Don't do it.
1:01:45
Speaker 1: Don't do it. Without me.
1:02:03
Speaker 3: Don't do it without me.
1:02:07
Speaker 1: Don't do it without me.
1:02:08
Speaker 4: Don't do it without me. Lord, whatever. Lord, whatever you're
1:02:21
Speaker 4: doing in the season.
1:02:24
Speaker 1: Don't do it without me. Don't do it without me.
1:02:33
Speaker 1: Don't do it without me. Don't do it, don't.
1:02:36
Speaker 3: Do it, Lord.
1:02:40
Speaker 4: Whatever you're doing in.
1:02:45
Speaker 1: This season, don't.
1:02:49
Speaker 4: Do it without me. Don't do it without me.
1:02:57
Speaker 1: Say it again, Lord, whatever.
1:02:59
Speaker 4: Oh, Lord. Lord, whatever. Whatever you're doing in the season,
1:03:10
Speaker 4: don't do it without me. Don't do it without me. Lord,
1:03:24
Speaker 4: whatever you're doing in this season, don't.
1:03:32
Speaker 1: Do it without me. Don't do it without me. One
1:03:41
Speaker 1: more time. Lord, whatever you're doing.
1:03:43
Speaker 4: Lord, whatever you're doing in this season, don't do it without.
1:03:58
Speaker 1: Me.
1:03:58
Speaker 4: Don't do it without me.
1:04:04
Speaker 1: I'm almost finished. You all know for years... I have
1:04:10
Speaker 1: been talking about it. It may not work out the
1:04:13
Speaker 1: way I planned it, but I get on my knees
1:04:17
Speaker 1: and pray, and I plan my life in decades. How
1:04:22
Speaker 1: many of you remember me saying that? Not days, but decades.
1:04:28
Speaker 1: Because major moves take time. It may look like it
1:04:38
Speaker 1: was suddenly, but you don't know what the background work was.
1:04:48
Speaker 1: About six years ago, I started talking to Pastor Tore
1:04:58
Speaker 1: and Pastor Sarah because I did not want All that
1:05:06
Speaker 1: I had spent my life and your life and our
1:05:10
Speaker 1: lives building to get old and go with us. This
1:05:24
Speaker 1: is a generational thing. And even though she was busy
1:05:37
Speaker 1: doing Woman Evolved and he was busy pastoring One LA,
1:05:44
Speaker 1: about four years ago, they moved out here just in
1:05:48
Speaker 1: time for COVID. God has a sense of humor. He
1:06:01
Speaker 1: throws you in the water and then says, swim. So
1:06:07
Speaker 1: for the last four years, they have been swimming. I
1:06:16
Speaker 1: talked to the board because I was concerned. I have
1:06:23
Speaker 1: seen too many men build something and stay so long
1:06:32
Speaker 1: that they kill what they build. What you got to
1:06:39
Speaker 1: understand is it's not so important that you just know
1:06:44
Speaker 1: when to grab a hold. It's knowing when to let go. Now,
1:06:59
Speaker 1: there's some other things that I'm assigned to do, both
1:07:02
Speaker 1: here and outside. But I cannot afford... especially after November,
1:07:12
Speaker 1: to risk something happening to me. And you'd be sheep
1:07:19
Speaker 1: without a shepherd. I cannot afford to let all the
1:07:35
Speaker 1: work of all the saints living and dead to hold
1:07:42
Speaker 1: this so tight, so long that I wither away. So
1:07:49
Speaker 1: I'm suggesting to you, I'm recommending to you that you
1:07:58
Speaker 1: receive Pastor Torrey and Pastor Sarah. Come on, come on,
1:08:18
Speaker 1: come on, come on.
1:08:20
Speaker 3: Come on.
1:08:25
Speaker 1: Come on. This... It's legacy. Not because they're kin, but
1:08:44
Speaker 1: because they're the kind. They've immersed themselves into the DNA
1:08:51
Speaker 1: of this church for years. Sit quiet. Preach. What you
1:09:01
Speaker 1: didn't know from November forward, they've been running the church anyway. Now,
1:09:22
Speaker 1: they're not meant to replace me because nobody can. But
1:09:41
Speaker 1: if they step into this position, they may extend me.
1:09:50
Speaker 1: There's some things I want to do in the community
1:09:56
Speaker 1: before I get too old to do it. And the
1:10:00
Speaker 1: clock is ticking. There's some ways that I want to
1:10:05
Speaker 1: prepare us for the days ahead that I can't do
1:10:10
Speaker 1: it completely from the pulpit. Every now and then I
1:10:14
Speaker 1: think they'll let me preach, but.
1:10:19
Speaker 1: But there's some work in the vineyard that needs to
1:10:25
Speaker 1: be done. And I want you to see it like this.
1:10:28
Speaker 1: Jesus said, if a man is cold, don't give him
1:10:36
Speaker 1: a sermon. Give him a coat. If he's hungry, Feed him.
1:10:51
Speaker 1: We have always done that. We're about to take it
1:11:04
Speaker 1: to the next level. And we are going to be
1:11:19
Speaker 1: a multiracial, multigenerational, interdenominational church of the living God. One
1:11:38
Speaker 1: man plants.
1:11:39
Speaker 3: Yes.
1:11:49
Speaker 1: Another man waters. But only God gives the increase. Just
1:12:03
Speaker 1: like they can't be me, I can't be them. I
1:12:10
Speaker 1: came to plant. I think I planted pretty good. This September,
1:12:44
Speaker 1: I will have been planting for 48 years. I'm coming
1:12:56
Speaker 1: up on 50 in a year and a half, two years,
1:13:03
Speaker 1: 50 years of ministry. We need fresh vision fresh blood
1:13:14
Speaker 1: we need the ability as the world changes to technology
1:13:25
Speaker 1: and TV slides backwards and like it or not and
1:13:31
Speaker 1: some things I like about it some things I don't
1:13:35
Speaker 1: the world is changing now at ILS our theme was
1:13:40
Speaker 1: the changing of the guard I'm thinking probably by the
1:13:49
Speaker 1: church anniversary, we're going to formalize. But I wanted to
1:13:55
Speaker 1: introduce to you your pastors. I know, I know. It
1:14:48
Speaker 1: might be a little scary. I know you might feel
1:14:57
Speaker 1: the weight sliding from my head to you. I know
1:15:05
Speaker 1: the crown is heavy. But I also know that if
1:15:15
Speaker 1: God is for you, who can be against you? And
1:15:31
Speaker 1: as long as I can, I'll be somewhere in the shadows.
1:15:41
Speaker 1: the stage wherever you need me to make this vision
1:15:48
Speaker 1: come to pass what say ye to this.
1:15:51
Speaker 2: Moment it's hard to put into words but we feel
1:16:36
Speaker 2: deeply honored that that God and you knowing how much
1:16:47
Speaker 2: you love yeah Knowing how much you love the people
1:16:54
Speaker 2: that have been assigned to you. How deeply you love them.
1:17:00
Speaker 2: And how you don't play when it comes to them.
1:17:03
Speaker 2: As you have evidenced and proven for decades.
1:17:19
Speaker 1: It is.
1:17:21
Speaker 2: Not something.
1:17:23
Speaker 1: Take lightly.
1:17:25
Speaker 2: Transparently.
1:17:27
Speaker 1: Come on, baby. The few people. Come on, baby.
1:17:30
Speaker 3: Mom.
1:17:33
Speaker 1: I didn't get here by myself.
1:18:19
Speaker 2: So we stand on solid ground and a sure foundation
1:18:27
Speaker 2: and we will honor it respect it the scripture says
1:18:33
Speaker 2: that you are to be careful about how you build
1:18:36
Speaker 2: on another man's foundation. And so we will build on
1:18:40
Speaker 2: it with humility, with prayer, with integrity, with holiness, with sacrifice.
1:18:49
Speaker 2: and we'll become everything that we have to become we'll
1:18:52
Speaker 2: curve we'll shape we'll stretch and be everything that we
1:18:59
Speaker 2: have to be in order to take your legacy and
1:19:04
Speaker 2: your legacy to the level that God envisions We're honored.
1:19:11
Speaker 1: We're honored.
1:19:11
Speaker 3: I think we can all agree that this isn't exactly
1:19:17
Speaker 3: how we saw my life panning out. I saw my
1:19:25
Speaker 3: parents sacrifice their.
1:19:27
Speaker 1: Lives for this church.
1:19:37
Speaker 3: I saw them give Their bodies and their strength. And
1:19:44
Speaker 3: I know you guys are so tired. You had a
1:19:49
Speaker 3: heart attack on stage and still asked for the microphone
1:19:53
Speaker 3: so that they would be okay over you. I know
1:19:55
Speaker 3: what this cost. And if I'm honest, I've been wondering
1:20:01
Speaker 3: whether or not I have what it takes to do
1:20:04
Speaker 3: it the way that you guys have done it or
1:20:06
Speaker 3: to take it even further. But then God showed me
1:20:10
Speaker 3: that you all didn't always know if you had what
1:20:12
Speaker 3: it took either. But that God gave you GPS to
1:20:17
Speaker 3: find what it took to stand up to the assignment.
1:20:22
Speaker 3: And I believe that the same God that has ordered
1:20:25
Speaker 3: your steps to find what it took to stand up
1:20:28
Speaker 3: in any given moment is going to order our steps
1:20:32
Speaker 3: to find what it takes to to stand up to
1:20:37
Speaker 3: whatever's on the other side of this yes. My commitment
1:20:41
Speaker 3: to you and our commitment to you is that we
1:20:46
Speaker 3: will seek God every step of the way. That we
1:20:52
Speaker 3: will pay the price to lead this community and that
1:20:57
Speaker 3: we will make decisions not just with you in mind
1:21:00
Speaker 3: but with the people who haven't even come into this
1:21:03
Speaker 3: room in mind.
1:21:04
Speaker 1: Amen.
1:21:05
Speaker 3: I believe that collectively that we could turn this city
1:21:08
Speaker 3: upside down and right side up. And that what happens
1:21:13
Speaker 3: in Dallas will overflow and saturate the state of Texas.
1:21:18
Speaker 3: And when the state of Texas can't hold it anymore, Oklahoma,
1:21:21
Speaker 3: get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready. And when
1:21:25
Speaker 3: Oklahoma gets to.
1:21:26
Speaker 1: The overflow, you better move over Nevada. I believe that.
1:21:29
Speaker 3: This nation will be changed by the collective anointing, not
1:21:33
Speaker 3: just because of what we carry, but because of what
1:21:37
Speaker 3: we carry in unity and collectively together. And so I
1:21:41
Speaker 3: am asking that you would bring your oil into this room.
1:21:46
Speaker 3: That you would bring your vision into this room. And
1:21:51
Speaker 3: if you're nervous like me or anxious like me.
1:21:53
Speaker 1: That's okay. Because together we'll do it in strength. There
1:22:00
Speaker 1: was this.
1:22:03
Speaker 3: Moment when Mary Magdalene was at the tomb and found
1:22:06
Speaker 3: out that it was empty. And the angel of the
1:22:08
Speaker 3: Lord came to her and said, what are you looking for?
1:22:11
Speaker 1: He's not here.
1:22:11
Speaker 3: He's risen. And he gave her a message to go
1:22:15
Speaker 3: and tell the disciples. And it says that she went
1:22:18
Speaker 3: with great fear and joy. Whenever we're moving from one
1:22:23
Speaker 3: season to the next, sometimes we do it with great fear.
1:22:28
Speaker 3: Because we don't know how we'll deliver the message. We
1:22:31
Speaker 3: don't know if they'll receive us. We don't know whether
1:22:33
Speaker 3: or not we'll be ready. We don't know what God's
1:22:35
Speaker 3: going to do in that season. But what God has
1:22:38
Speaker 3: highlighted to me is the great joy part. And I
1:22:42
Speaker 3: believe that we can do this with not just fear
1:22:45
Speaker 3: and respect and honor, but that we can do this
1:22:48
Speaker 3: with radical joy. Because you all have gone ahead of
1:22:53
Speaker 3: us and made our crooked paths straight. And you have
1:22:57
Speaker 3: been a good shepherd and a good steward. And what
1:23:01
Speaker 3: you have placed in the earth will not fail. But
1:23:05
Speaker 3: generation after generation after generation will declare the works of
1:23:09
Speaker 3: the Lord. Thank you for letting us build this on
1:23:12
Speaker 3: your shoulders. As your pastor elect, co-pastor, co-senior pastor elect,
1:23:21
Speaker 3: I'm grateful.
1:23:23
Speaker 1: I'm honored.
1:23:24
Speaker 3: As your daughter, I'm so happy you're going to serve us.
1:23:58
Speaker 2: There's a promise in scripture that speaks to what will
1:24:03
Speaker 2: happen before the return of the Lord. And it's in
1:24:06
Speaker 2: Malachi chapter 4, somewhere around verse 4 or 5. Read
1:24:11
Speaker 2: your whole Bible, you'll find it. But it says that
1:24:16
Speaker 2: God will turn the hearts before that day.
1:24:20
Speaker 3: One of the last few.
1:24:21
Speaker 2: Things in scripture. That God will turn the hearts of
1:24:25
Speaker 2: the fathers to the children.
1:24:26
Speaker 1: First, this is the sequence.
1:24:28
Speaker 2: That God will begin to turn one generation, the hearts
1:24:31
Speaker 2: of the fathers, to the children. The fathers will initiate it.
1:24:36
Speaker 2: Which will in fact turn the hearts of the children.
1:24:39
Speaker 2: To the father. And there is the imagery. Of the generations.
1:24:44
Speaker 1: Walking together. Each group. Supplying. One supplying wisdom. Strength. Experience.
1:24:56
Speaker 2: The other providing. Supplying innovation.
1:25:01
Speaker 1: Energy.
1:25:02
Speaker 2: And vitality. And as those two come together. we will
1:25:07
Speaker 2: see fruit unlike anything we have ever seen before. So
1:25:10
Speaker 2: thank you and you and you for initiating what it's
1:25:16
Speaker 2: going to take to get it done.
1:25:38
Speaker 1: Some of our board members are in the room when
1:25:44
Speaker 1: I shared the vision before they even came. I didn't
1:25:51
Speaker 1: even see then what I see now. See, the Roberts
1:25:56
Speaker 1: are a blended family. And a blended family is hard
1:26:06
Speaker 1: to make fit. And the Potters House is a blended family.
1:26:16
Speaker 5: This is a beautiful moment for me.
1:26:56
Speaker 1: I've been preaching since I was 19. Scared to death.
1:27:14
Speaker 1: But unbelievably relentless. There were times I wish I had
1:27:25
Speaker 1: been home I was on the road. I felt like
1:27:36
Speaker 1: it was my job and my calling to build something
1:27:42
Speaker 1: that I had never seen. Amen. Under my leadership, this
1:28:05
Speaker 1: church owns a thousand acres of land. Our borders are protected.
1:28:26
Speaker 1: We have had an integrity Everything we said we were
1:28:34
Speaker 1: going to do, we did it. And we built it
1:28:43
Speaker 1: right here in South Dallas. There's more to do. But
1:28:59
Speaker 1: I want to pace myself. Now I have a choice.
1:29:11
Speaker 1: I want to say thank you.
1:29:14
Speaker 4: Thank you.
1:29:28
Speaker 1: To my leaders, to my staff, To our pastors. To
1:29:43
Speaker 1: our elders and our musicians and our PMTs and our volunteers.
1:29:55
Speaker 1: You have been faithful to God. And you have been
1:30:00
Speaker 1: faithful to me. I'm so grateful. Thank you. I never
1:30:21
Speaker 1: counted on anybody standing by me so that you would
1:30:29
Speaker 1: never have the disappointment I've been walking away. But you
1:30:37
Speaker 1: fooled me. And I love you for it. Thank you
1:30:57
Speaker 1: for being an amazing woman. We buried our parents here.
1:31:18
Speaker 1: We raised our children here. We gave our lives here.
1:31:26
Speaker 1: You never complained. You might have fussed a little bit.
1:31:40
Speaker 1: I could have never been me without you. You're absolutely amazing. Okay.
1:32:20
Speaker 1: Y'all are crying all day. Let's go. Before my glasses
1:32:25
Speaker 1: fall completely out. You got this. Whatever little voices that
1:32:55
Speaker 1: pop up in your head at 2 o'clock in the
1:32:57
Speaker 1: morning that tell you you're not enough, they're lying to you.
1:33:10
Speaker 1: You haven't begun to unearth it. Hallelujah. Who you are.
1:33:17
Speaker 1: You're here to begin unearthing. Hallelujah. Cold mind.
1:33:25
Speaker 4: Hallelujah.
1:33:28
Speaker 1: You're just getting started. Thank you for letting me keep
1:33:39
Speaker 1: you over a little bit. I wanted to share it
1:33:50
Speaker 1: and we started not to do it this way but
1:33:55
Speaker 1: the thing that moved me was I wanted to share
1:33:59
Speaker 1: it with our eChurch. Well I guess we ought to
1:34:16
Speaker 1: go home. Please, please be good to our people. Please
1:34:41
Speaker 1: help them. The humility that you see is real. The
1:34:46
Speaker 1: wait is unbelievable. The demands are endless. And the times
1:34:59
Speaker 1: are the darkest I have ever seen. Intercessors. Cover my babies.
1:35:18
Speaker 1: before this turns into an absolute funeral, would everybody please stand?
1:35:25
Speaker 1: I'm still on the job. You don't drain them last
1:35:35
Speaker 1: six months, seven months, whatever. I was afraid of letting
1:36:10
Speaker 1: God down and letting you down. And even to miss
1:36:14
Speaker 1: a service would make me sick. Because somebody might need me.
1:36:24
Speaker 1: And even when I was dying, during my last breath,
1:36:35
Speaker 1: I was blessing you. And if I died blessing you,
1:36:41
Speaker 1: I was okay with it. Thank you, Lord. Father's house,
1:37:00
Speaker 1: I love you. Now unto him that is able to
1:37:19
Speaker 1: keep us from falling, present us, follow us before the
1:37:23
Speaker 1: coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. To the only wise God,
1:37:29
Speaker 1: our Father be glory, dominion, power, world without end. In
1:37:40
Speaker 1: Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
