Tomorrow Belongs to God - Bishop T.D. Jakes · Pst T.D Jakes -The POTTER'S HOUSE

• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go to the word of God. I
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: think I got everything done.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Amen. That needed to be done. I'm excited.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Go to Matthew 6, 25 through 34. And let's go
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to the word. Let's go to work. By the way,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Matthew 6 is something you ought to include in your
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Bible study. In part in case I don't finish today,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: but it's just a great text. It's just a great text.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And we're going to be reading out the NIV. If
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: you're watching online, we'll put it up on the screen
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: for you. The Gospel of St. Matthew 6, 25 through 34. Therefore,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I tell you, do not worry about your life.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I told you.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Do not worry about your life, like what you will
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: eat or drink or about your body, what you will wear.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Is not life more than food and the body more
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: than clothes? Look at the birds of the air. They
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: much more valuable than they? Amen. Can any one of
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And why do you worry about clothes? See how the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: is how God clothes the grass of the field, which
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: will he not much more clothe you? You of little faith.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: So do not worry saying, what shall we eat or
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: what shall we drink or what shall we wear? For
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the pagans run after all these things. And your heavenly
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: father knows that you need them. He's not against them.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: He knows that you need them. But seek ye first.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: But seek ye first.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: But seek ye first.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: His kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: be given to you and all these things. He's not
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: preaching against things. He's talking about priorities. All these things
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And this is what I want you to look at. Therefore,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: do not worry about tomorrow. Say that with me. Therefore,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: do not worry about tomorrow.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Say it again. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow. The
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: reason I have you saying it is that it is
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you know that faith comes about hearing and hearing by
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the word of God but your soul needs to hear
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: yourself say do not worry it's one thing to hear
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: me say it but when you say it to yourself
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: when you say things to yourself you give birth inside
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: of yourself oh therefore do not worry about tomorrow for
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: tomorrow will worry about itself each day has enough trouble
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: of its own.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Isn't that good?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I want to preach this morning, tomorrow belongs to God.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Somebody say, tomorrow belongs to God. Say it again, tomorrow
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: belongs to God.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Let's pray.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Spirit of the living God, fall fresh on us today
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: as we delve into your word. We need your word,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: your precepts, your guidance. your direction, your correction, your instruction.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Inflame the word of God inside of us. Let it
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: swell up in us. Let it be magnified. Let it multiply.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Let it be fruitful in us. In the name of Jesus,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: we pray.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: On your way to your seat, say tomorrow belongs to God.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Type it on the line. Tomorrow belongs to God. You know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: whenever somebody asks you how you're doing, I always make
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the reference that nobody stops for you to answer. And
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: then I started thinking about it, and I started realizing
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: if they were to stop.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: What would I answer?
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Because really how I'm doing is a big conversation.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: It depends on which me you're talking about.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Amen.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: There's about 10 of us going, how am I doing
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: in my body? How am I doing in my finances?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: How am I doing in my mind? How am I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: doing in my business? How am I doing in my family?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: How am I doing all kinds of ways? Emotionally, this
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: is mental health month. How am I doing? It's a
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: long conversation. So if you don't have like three or
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: four hours, just wave at me.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Don't ask me.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: No questions you don't have time to spend time getting
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the answer to. Maybe it's just me, but how many
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of you have found yourself struggling to rest in today
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: for fear of tomorrow? Struggling to rest in today for
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: fear of tomorrow. We're living in the most uncertain times
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: that I have ever seen. You can't be quite sure
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: of anything. You can't be sure of the values of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: our world, of our country, of our government, of the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: place you work. You can't be sure. Everything's shifting. Everybody's shifting.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Everybody's gone blind to what they said yesterday. There are
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: no absolutes anymore. Things don't have to be bad just
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to be threatening. It's not that something has happened. It's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: like a cloud of, suppose this doesn't work. Suppose that
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't work. Suppose this happens. Suppose that happens. Suppose, suppose, suppose.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Often the threat rests solely in the crevices of your
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: own mind. Am I the only one that ever feels threatened?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Just threatened.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't even know what you're threatened about. You
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: just feel threatened. It's often the threat tests solely in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the crevices of your mind to the point that you
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: wake up late at night. And it's like the night
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: of the living dead. And you find yourself in situations
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and circumstances where all these entombed issues come out in
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: your dreams, come out in insomnia, Or just an overall
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: feeling of dis-ease. We should really look at that word dis-ease.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Because we say it disease. But disease is dis-ease. Your
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: body was not designed to ingest dis-ease. And yet we
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: are living in a world that is increasingly diseasing. You know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I stopped listening at the same story play over and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: over on the news over and over again because I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: don't need to reinforce. I heard that already. I don't
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: need to hear everybody comment on everything about it because
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: it creates a spirit of dis-ease. And the reason we
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: have a home is a place to rest in. a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: place to relax in, a place to renew yourself in.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: And I don't mean all things are going bad. That's
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: one thing. But when your life is an oxymoron, you know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: an oxymoron is when two contrasting things coexist in the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: same space, like hot ice. An oxymoron is a term
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that doesn't make sense and yet it is true. Your
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: life doesn't make sense and yet it is true. It
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of Charles Dickens' statement and I quote,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: it was the best of times and it was the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: worst of times. It was the age of wisdom. It
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: was the age of foolishness. It was the epoch of belief.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: It was the epoch of incredulity. It was the season
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: of light. It was the season of darkness. It was
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the spring of hope. And it was the winter of despair.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: All at the same time. And you're weaving through the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: traffic of laughter and tears. Weaving through the traffic trying
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: to dodge the cars of.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Pain and power. goodness and agony.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: All at the same time staring out of a glass
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: that that should be clear late at night a window
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: that is darkened by night instead all we see is
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the sleepless eyes staring out of glass so blackened by
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: night that your house is a house of mirrors and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: your life resembles a carnival You don't understand what I'm
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: saying unless you woke up in the middle of the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: night and stared out of a window where you couldn't
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: see anything except your own reflection. And instead of it
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: being a house of rest, it is a carnival of disease.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: A bill we can't pay. A child we can't heal.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: A job we hate. Or a lurking sense of danger.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: It is in a roommate to an impending blessing. A
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: lurking sense of danger is roommate to an impending blessing.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: So on one hand, I'm the happiest, saddest I've ever been.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I'm the happiest, saddest I've ever been. I'm the most victorious,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: defeated I've ever been. I'm the most accomplished insecure I've
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: ever been. All at the same time. Best and worst
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: at times, all at the same time. Is there anybody
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: in here that can relate to it? Now I know
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: that there is a spiritual quorum of people in here
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: who only profess what's good. But when nobody's looking, you
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: worry about what's bad. You always have a positive confession
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and I'm not hating on you going with your positive confession.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: But to the.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: People who want to keep it real in here. You
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: live your life braced almost for the next shoe to drop.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: And you don't know which shoe it's going to be.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Is it going to be a blessing shoe or is
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: it going to be a burdensome shoe? But you brace
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: for it. Either way it comes. Either way it comes,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I got to deal with it. Whatever it is, I
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: got to. The uncertainty is worse than the shoe drop.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Can anybody relate to what I'm talking about? Why are
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the weapons of our warfare not more accessible when we
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: need them the most? I don't need the weapons of
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: my warfare so much in church.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I need the.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Weapons of my warfare to activate at 3 o'clock in
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the morning.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I need the weapons of my warfare to activate when
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I'm in the grocery store and somebody has said something
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: to me so crazy that I'm not sure whether I'm
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: called to ministry or not. I might be called to
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: be a part of the crypts. There are people that
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: make me feel like a gang leader every now and then.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And I need the weapons of my warfare to work
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: for me right then. Why are they not more accessible?
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Because you can get in the crisis, in the storm,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: in the test, in the hospital, in the rain, at
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the cemetery, at the IRS meeting, at the accountant's office,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and forget everything you heard Sunday. It's not that we
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: don't have the weapons. They're not always accessible because we
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: don't use them enough to keep them close enough that
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: they become a norm. They become a Sunday morning accessory.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: And in the time of trouble, you got it. You
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: got it in trouble, but you got to find it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: You know, it reminds me of several years ago we
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: were at Woman Dark Lucid. It was the first really
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: big one. We had 54,000 women and we were in
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Atlanta and I was amazed and worried and happy and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: sad and glad and confident and nervous and walking by
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: faith and scared to death and So this has been
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: going on a long time. 54,000 women. And we made
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: it to the end of the conference. We had filled
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: up half of the Georgia Dome with 54,000 women. We
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: had packed it out for us at that time. That
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: was really great success. And everybody was leaving. It was wonderful.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: It was a success. The power of God fell. People
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: were healed. They were delivered. All kinds of things happened.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Yokes were broken over. People have been abused and molested
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and ostracized. And it was a powerful meeting. And it
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: was so powerful that even after the meeting was over,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: we went to the airport and we were singing in
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the airport. You get 54,000 predominantly black women singing in
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the airport and the security goes nuts. They don't know
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: what to do. People laying hands on people in the restaurant. See,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: our culture, when we get happy, we don't hide it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: When we get mad, we don't hide it. When we dance,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: we don't hide it. Whatever we feel, you're going to
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: get some of that today. Multiply by 54,000 and you'll
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: see the picture. We besieged the airport. We filled it
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: with glee and singing and all in the corridor. It
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: was crazy. We turned it into church, woman hour loose too.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, people like the Pace sisters and the Clark
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: sisters and all these people were all there in the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: airport and we were getting it on and people were
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: taking pictures and I was young then. They were taking
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: pictures and all up in my face and I was
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: trying to wave at everybody and check my bags in
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and go through the magnometer and everything was wonderful and oh,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: thank you for having it.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: You God's man. Hallelujah.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Jesus. Glory to God. I want a picture
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: with the man of God. And I'm going through there
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and my family's going through there and we're going through
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the airport. And I got my mom with me and
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: we're having a wonderful time. Generations of women rejoicing. When
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: you got 54,000 women taking pictures and screaming, all the
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: other people was trying to figure out who is he?
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: And I wasn't sure how to answer that question because
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: it takes years to answer it. That question, who is he?
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: But I was sure I was going to be waving
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and being nice. I've always been gregarious. And I was
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: waving at people and they was taking pictures and I
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: was posing with strangers and taking pictures with babies and.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: All that stuff.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: When all of a sudden I looked around and we
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: were surrounded by police.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: And I thought, what happened?
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: We were at the Magnometer checking in our bags and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I was taking pictures and everything. I wasn't paying a
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: whole lot of attention. And the next thing I knew,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: police were all around me. Come to find out, one
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of our bags.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Had a Pearl revolver in it. And it was my mother's.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Now you got to understand this. I got all these
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: security and deacons and friends and all these people around here.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: They ain't got nothing. My mother is loaded. Okay.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: She got a little baby Glock down in her pocketbook.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: You know, I talked about I wish you would. And
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: we're going through the thing and all of a sudden
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: they said, we found this in the bag. Now it
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: is a big bag. It's her pocketbook. And my mother
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: carried big pocketbooks. And it was in the bottom of
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the pocketbook. I was so mad at her. I told
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: you I got 54,000 women around me taking pictures. And
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the police have surrounded us and
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: they're taking us in the back. And I seriously thought
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: about taking her life. I thought I'd take you out
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: right now. And she was embarrassed, but she said, this
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: is what she said to me, it was just a
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: little one. Like I left a machine gun at home,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you know. So you ought to be glad I didn't
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: bring my real stuff out here. But you know, it
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: was just a little, the thing that amazed me though,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: is that it was under the makeup, it was under
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: all kinds of tissues, it was under all kinds of
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: other stuff, but if somebody would have snatched us, by
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the time she got to the gun, I said, mama,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: why are you carrying a gun you can't access? If
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: you're going to carry the thing up in here, at
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: least be able to get to it. I could see
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: my mama saying, you just wait a minute. Wait, wait
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: a minute. You keep talking a minute. When I get
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to this, I'm going to stretch out my body and
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: we'd all been dead. How accessible are your weapons? You
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: have them, but can you reach them in time? In
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the time of trouble, in the time of stress, in
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the time of agony, in the time of pain, in
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the time of frustration and agony and disorientation and dis-ease.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Do you only have your weapons when you come to church?
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Does it work in your house? Does it work on
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: your job? Does it work at 2 o'clock in the morning?
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Does it work when all hell comes against you? It's
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: not enough to teach you to carry it if you
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: can't reach it. You got to be able to activate.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Somebody say activate. You got to be able to activate.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: You got to be able to activate. You can't activate
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: your faith if it's in the bottom of your pocketbook, mama.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: You can't activate what you can't access. The challenge that
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Jesus is having is to try to teach his disciples
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: to make prayer a lifestyle To make it a lifestyle.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: You know why worship service is sometimes difficult? Because we're outnumbered.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: You hear them say this morning, I listened to Sister
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: April say this morning how they were out here early
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: singing the worship songs before you got here. But if
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: they're out here worshiping before you come and you're in
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the car cussing before you come, the distance between where
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: your head is at and where our head is at
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: is so far. Or maybe you're just worried. And we
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: got to crack through ice to get through nights and
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: nights and nights of dis-ease. Jesus, in the pretext of
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: this text, is teaching his disciples about prayer.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: And they are asking.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Him, teach us to pray because he has modeled prayer
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: in front of them.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: The text comes after him.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Giving them the model prayer, what we call the Lord's Prayer,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: which we ought to call the disciples' prayer because it's
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: really the prayer he gave.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Us to pray.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Amen. Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: deliver us from evil. That prayer right there, he gave
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: them that template for prayer. But the real model is
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: how he lived his life, not just what he said.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: He told them that real prayer has nothing to do
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: with eloquence. He associated that with the Pharisees. They were
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: known for their swelling words and their long prayers. He
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: wants us to know that prayer doesn't inform God. Instead,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: it invites him. God doesn't need you to tell him
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: what's going on. He already knows what's going on. You
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: don't pray to inform him. You pray to invite him. Oh,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: y'all don't hear what I'm saying. I'm going to drop
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: something heavy on you. I'm going to drop some heavy
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: stuff on you. You pray to invite him into your finances.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: You invite him. You don't inform him. Lord, you know
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the rent is due on Thursday. Yeah, I know that.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: You know I got laid off. Yeah, I was there.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: You know they hurt my feelings. I quit my job.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I got mad. I just wanted to. Yeah, I know.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: You don't inform him. You invite him. Come into my
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: good decision. Come into my bad decision. Come into what
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I regret. Come into the place where I reacted out
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: of my emotions rather than your word. I invite you
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: into the situation. I invite you into the job I
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have took. The deal I shouldn't have done, the
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: place I need your direction because my mouth gets.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Me in trouble.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I need your word to prevail over my word so
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: that I can be better heard and be more effective.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: I invite you. Let's just take a moment right now
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: and invite him. Let's invite him. Let's invite him. Let's
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: invite him. Let's invite him. See, you got ready to praise,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: but I want you to pray. Let's invite him. Let's
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: invite him. My house shall be called a house of prayer.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: You've made it a den of thieves, but it should
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: be called.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: A house of prayer.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Jesus' conviction about prayer is evident throughout the scriptures. It
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: is so evident throughout the scriptures that he tantalized them
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: until they taught.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Us, teach us to pray.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Because every time they turned around over and over again,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Jesus slips away from the crowd and his responsibility to
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: spend time in prayer. His benefits are demonstrated through his life.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: His benefits are demonstrated through his life to the point
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: that they finally say, you're teaching us about the kingdom.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: The kingdom of heaven is lacking. The kingdom of heaven
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: is lacking. The kingdom of heaven is lacking. But what
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: you're not teaching us is every so often you go
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: apart to the mountain by yourself and hide yourself behind
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: a rock and do something that makes you able to
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: walk on water when you come out. Teach us how
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: to do that. Teach us how to do that right there.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Teach us how to do that right there. Teach us
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: how to do that right there. Teach us how to
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: do that right there. They had seen him do it
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: in so many different ways. And I'm going to give
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: you a few ways that Jesus models prayer and the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: benefits of prayer for you to jot down. Number one,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: peace in the storm. Peace in the storm is a
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: result of communion with God. They are in a tornado
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: and Jesus is at rest. This is what prayer does
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: for you. It braces you against external extremities so that
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: you're not always reacting to what you see going on
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: around you. When you have a lifestyle of prayer, you
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: don't act like the crowd. Everybody's screaming and running and
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: jumping off the boat, but when you've been talking to
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: God before the storm, you have peace in the storm. Oh,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: y'all don't hear what I'm saying. I got chill bumps
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: on my arm. You got peace in the middle of
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the story. Is there anybody in here that's had unexplainable peace?
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: You don't even know. It's not even your character. It's
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: not even your nature. That comes from having a consistent
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: prayer life, not a church prayer life, not an, oh,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: thou God who ruleth the winds and waves and stands
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: on eternity and overlooks the corridors of time into thy prison. No, no, no, no.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: This is the kind of prayer where you drive down
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the road and say, Jesus, I don't know what we're
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: going to do about this, but I'm trusting you about that.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: And if you don't want me to do this, I
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: need you to do this. It's the kind of prayer
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: that is not eloquent. It is just you crying.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: Out, help! Somebody holler, help!
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: The woman who said that, who authored that book, her
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: daughter was grievously vexed with the devil. She didn't have
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: time to be eloquent. When you're in a fight with
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: the devil, you don't have time to be eloquent. We
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: don't need an exercise in your vocabulary. We don't need
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: you to tune up. We need you to open your mouth, help!
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: And the benefits of prayer is demonstrated in the storm.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: How you react to the storm determines how far you're
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: gonna go. You can't be a leader if you freak out.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: You gotta keep a calm head in a crisis. I
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: might freak out after the crisis, but in the middle
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: of the crisis, I'm gonna stand up to this. One
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: of the things I love about my wife, I love
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: about her, my wife does not freak out in a crisis. No,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: she goes into lockdown mode like something you have not seen. Now,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: two weeks later, she may burst into tears. But while
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: you are in the store, she gonna box like Mike Tyson.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: She gonna box. No, let me tell you, girl, you
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: bad with that. She gonna box like Mike Tyson. I
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: was raised to box like that. I was raised to
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: fight like that. If you started getting hysterical, my mother
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: would slap you. She said, you may not have the
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: peace of God, but you're going to have the peace
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: of Oda because I'm going to knock you out. You
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: hold it together. You hold it together. I couldn't even
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: fall apart at her funeral because I could hear her.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I was about to collapse. We were closing the casket
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: and I was about to collapse and I could.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Hear her say, what good would that do? Discipline.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Discipline over your emotions. We have a generation, and I'm
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: talking about all of us, all ages that are alive
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: in this era of undisciplined people who say whatever they think,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: however they think, whenever they want to. You don't have
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: no prayer life. You talk to people when you ought
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: to be talking to God. If you start talking to God,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: it'll change how you talk to people. Come on, somebody.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Jesus demonstrates prayer for them, number two, deliverance for others.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: He comes down off of the Mount of Transfiguration. The
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: disciples have been wrestling with this boy, fighting for his life.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: He's casting himself into the water. He's casting himself into
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: the fire. They cannot control this demon. I want to
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: talk to some people who have a demon that's out
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: of control in your life and you cannot control it.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: And when Jesus comes down, the boy's father embarrasses the
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: disciples by saying, I brought him to your disciples and
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: they couldn't do nothing with him. There are some things
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: you have to bring directly to Jesus. You don't need
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: an appointment with the bishop. You don't need an appointment
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: with a counselor. You don't need an appointment with a team.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Some stuff you got to, some demons you got to
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: take to Jesus. Never mind the fact that the boy
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: got in the fire but didn't get burned up and
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: got in the water and he never drowned. Jesus is
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: already present but you're tired of going through the struggle
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: and the fight and the warfare.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Jesus says, bring him to me.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: And afterwards the disciples asked him, what went wrong? And
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I respect them for that. Because no failure makes you
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: a failure until, unless you will not examine, what did
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I do wrong? If you learn from it, it can't
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: be a failure. Jesus said, you didn't do anything wrong.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: It's what you didn't do. This kind cometh out by
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: much prayer and fasting. So Jesus is gradually teaching them
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: about prayer. Number three, he teaches them submission to the process.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Through prayer, he teaches him that when it gets hard
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: to submit to the process, and it often does, and
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: it even did for Jesus, so stop trying to sell
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: me this bill that everything is easy for you. If
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: it got hard for Jesus, I know it got hard
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: for you, so shut up. If you just walk by faith,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: it ain't nothing.
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: Shut up!
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. You a
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: liar and a hypocrite too. It got hard for Jesus.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: And Jesus took his inner circle out to the garden
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: of Gethsemane just so that he would be able to
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: pray his way into submission.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: To the process.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Father, if it be thy will, pass this bitter cup
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: for me. Sometimes God's will will carry you through roads
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: you don't want to ride on. Oh, y'all don't hear,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: talk to me, somebody. Sometimes God's will will carry you
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: through roads you don't want to ride on, roads you
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: didn't pick, roads you didn't foresee, roads you didn't design,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: and frankly, roads you don't like. But it's still God's
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: will because God is not in your life for your lacks. Oh,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: y'all didn't hear me. That was so good. God is
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: not in your life for your lacks. And Jesus, Jesus
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: goes into the Garden of Gethsemane and says, this is
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: how you submit to the part you don't like. Because
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: God will send what you don't like to kill your flesh.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: You know the cross was designed to kill the flesh.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: And the flesh will always scream out when the nails
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: go in. And Jesus goes to the garden and prays
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: so he has grace for the cross. I've always thought
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: that we pay more attention to the cross than we
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: do the garden. Because the cross is only where he
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: demonstrated the power of the garden. You trying to deal
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: with the cross and you don't have no garden of prayer.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I come to the garden alone. While the dew is still.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: On the rose.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: And the voice I hear falling on my ear. The
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Son of God discloses.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Hey!
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: And he walks with me and he talks with me
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: and he tells me I am his own and the
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: joy we share.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Come on. As we... None of us have ever.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: I wish we sung some of that stuff again. I
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: wish we sent some of that stuff again that encouraged
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: people to come to the garden of prayer. Number four,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: the pardoning of guilt and sin. He teaches us this
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: through prayer. When the man sick of palsy is carried
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: by four people and they have to climb up the wall,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: imagine carrying a man who is sick.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Of palsy, paralyzed, up the wall, across the roof.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: With four people and lower him down into the presence
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: of Jesus. And Jesus says to him, son, thy sins
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: are forgiven thee. And then they doubted that he had
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the right to do that. He said, what is easier
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: to say, son, thy sins are forgiven thee or take
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: up your bed and walk? Is there a correlation between
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: the palsy and the sin? Because Jesus prioritized the forgiveness
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: of sin over the pain that brought him to Jesus.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Could the pain have caused the paralysis?
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Are you carrying guilt that you can't get rid of
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: to the point that it's showing up in infirmities in
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: your body? Are you carrying too much that you're not
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: even designed for? Do you go to God in prayer?
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Do you go to God in prayer? I don't mean
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: like you dial 911. I mean on a daily, continual
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: basis that flushes your soul of the toxicity. You're so
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: careful about what you eat. You're a pescatarian. I'm a vegan.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I don't eat this.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I don't eat milk. You're so careful about what you
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: put in your body. Are you careful about what you
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: put in your soul? Are you careful about what you
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: put in your soul? You're reading every label. You're counting
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: fat grams. Too much protein in that.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: I don't do anything with caffeine. I don't do that.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: Shut up.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: You gossip. You talk to me about people. You lie
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: on folks. You criticize everybody. So your flesh is going
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: to be clean, but your spirit is filthy. Prayer will
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: clean out your spirit. Prayer will clean out your heart.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Prayer will change the way you treat people. Prayer will
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: change how you react. You can take up your bed
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: and walk when you get rid of your guilt. Number five,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: prayer is your secret weapon. Prayer is your secret weapon.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus teaches in the text that when you pray, don't
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: be out in the streets praying like the Pharisees. He said,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: but go into your secret closet and shut the door.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: And he says, the God who hears in secret will
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: reward you in the open. If you want to be
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: a public success, you got to be a private prayer. Oh,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: y'all ain't gonna help me. If you're gonna be a
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: public success, you gotta be a private prayer warrior. What
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: happens on the outside is determined by what happens on
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: your knees. Get down on your knees and pray. Shut
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: your mouth and pray. Shut your fuss and pray. Get
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: down on your knees and seek God's face. Prayer is
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: your secret weapon.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: You got it. It's in there.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: It's somewhere down in that pocketbook. It's something down up
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: under that makeup. You got more makeup than prayer up,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: but if you dig down in that bag deep enough,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: we can hit. I know you don't have no prayer life,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: because if I call you to the altar for prayer,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: you pray five minutes and you get tired.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: That means you.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Have not exercised prayer to the point that you have
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: a real prayer life. You will dance 30 minutes, but
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: you won't pray five. Come on, come on, come on,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: don't leave now. Stay right here, stay right here, I
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: got something for you. Not somebody tell him, I got
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: a devil to fight.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: You don't have time to try to be the cutest
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: in the room.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Go on with your fine self and your Gucci bag,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: but I got a devil to fight, and if I
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: have to lay out on my face, if I have
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: to crawl on my knees, if I have to clap
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: my hands and slob up, and.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Say, I gotta die, I'm.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Not gonna stop till I break it. Somebody go into
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: a prayer mode, a war cry, a shout.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: On the ground. Thank you. Yeah, we are living in
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: a time right now.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: That if the church doesn't get back on its knees,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: all hell is gonna break loose. It's taking over our country.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: It's taking over our government. It's taking over our streets.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: You ain't even safe in the grocery store.
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: But I heard.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: God say, if my people who are called by my
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: and turn from the wicked way, then will I forgive
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: their sins and heal their land. Somebody give me some
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: prayer in this place.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh, uh-huh.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: You won't find it in a minute. Keep on digging
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: down in that bag. It's somewhere down in your pocketbook.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: You won't find it in a minute. Get on down
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: in that bag. Get on down. It's a little funny
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: right now, but when I get past your camouflage, somewhere
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: down in you is a praying spirit, a holy ghost
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: that's been waiting.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: To be activated.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: I dare you to activate your prayer language. Sit down,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: let me give you number six, I got to go.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: I felt something break. I don't know who it's in,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: but a yoke just broke in somebody's life. Let me
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: give you number six. He gave me six things to
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: give you. I want to make sure you get them.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Number six, prayer is not about church. The Lord said
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: the most interesting thing to me when I was studying.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: He said, I want you to understand that prayer is
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: a part of self-care. You're talking about you got to
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: get self-care. You got to get self-care. You got to
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: get self-care. Self-care is soul care. Prayer is a part
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: of self-care. If the psychologists and the psychiatrists were here,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: they would tell you to journal. The Holy Spirit says
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: prayer is journaling with God. tell him all about our
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: troubles he will hear us when he will answer or
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: when you feel a little and you know a little
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: you'll find just now let us have a little talk
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: with Jesus we're going to tell him all about he
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: will hear us He will have the body and mind
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: when you feel and you know you'll.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Find out.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Let us.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Have.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: We ought to tell him.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: He will.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: He will.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Have the body and mind when you feel and you know.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: You know that?
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: See, the old folk knew how to have self-care. They
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: might not have gone to the spa. They might not
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: have got a massage. They might not have played around
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: the golf. They didn't have the money to do all
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: of that. But they would shut themselves up and say, Oh, God,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus, I approach thy throne.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Because I know you're able.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, oh. Lift this burden, Lord. If you don't get
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: it out, I can't take this load. I know it's old-fashioned.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: I know it's not contemporary. I know it's not your style.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: But this old-fashioned devil you fighting right now, you're going
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: to have to get your grandmama's war clothes out and
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: declare war.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: Anybody hear what I'm saying? Anybody hear what I'm saying?
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Anybody hear what I'm saying? Clap your hands and give
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: me 30 seconds of praise. Do you not know that
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: prayer will tip the scales in your favor. Prayer will
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: tip the scales in your favor. Your daughter needs to
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: see you pray. Your son needs to see you pray.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Not just when you're in front of people. It needs
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: to not be strange to come in your house and
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: hear your mama praying. Your house should be called a
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: house of prayer. You got to bring prayer back in
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: your house. Cut off the housewives of LA and the
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: housewives of Atlanta and the housewives of actors and the
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: housewives of movie stars and get down on your knees
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: and start calling on Jesus.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: When I say prayer will tip the scales in.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: Your favor, we're not praying about yesterday because there's nothing
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: that can be done about yesterday.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: You got to come out of yesterday.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: There's nothing nobody can do about yesterday. You don't see
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: anywhere in the Bible where anybody is praying about yesterday.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: And yet every time you get a microphone, you crying
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: about yesterday. Come out of your history. Come out of
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: your history. It don't matter who was right. It don't
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: matter who was wrong. You got a devil in front
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: of you to fight. You can't fight the devil behind
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: you and have your hands free for the devil in
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: front of you.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Who am I talking to? So sit down. I got
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: to hear it. I'm running out of.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Time. Yeah, you can't stay if you don't pray. I
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: like that. I'm going to rush through this. Worry nullifies prayer.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: So over and over, Jesus says, do not worry. It's
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: not a request. It's a command. Do not worry. Worry
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: nullifies prayer. You can pray real good, but if you
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: worry better than you pray, you nullified what you prayed for.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Worry nullifies prayer. It cancels out prayer. Worry is to
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: have faith in the negative. Worry is faith turned inside out.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Worry is responding to the negative voice louder than you
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: do the positive. Your thought life is infected by worry.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: You can't make sound decisions when you're worrying. Anxiety is
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: literally worrying about tomorrow. Worrying about something that hadn't even
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: happened yet.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Where are we going to stay? What are we going
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: to do? What did that happen? You wanna know.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Everything you control, freak. You profess to walk by faith
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: and not by sight, and yet you wanna know everything
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: about something that hadn't even happened yet? You're making yourself anxious.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: You're making yourself sick. You're making yourself hard to live with.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Because you think everybody has to report to your office.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: God is not going to report to your office. He's
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: not going to give you details. You're just going to
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: have to walk out there to a place I will
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: show you. And when you get there, I'm going to
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: show it to you. And you got to walk by faith.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: And God knows you don't like it. And God knows
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: you ain't good at it. But you got to get
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: good at it. Dig down in your pocketbook and get
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: your weapons out. Because one of those weapons is resisting
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: the temptation to worry about tomorrow. Because tomorrow belongs Say
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: it again. Say it again. The thief is on the
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: cross and he's dying and he's nailed to the tree
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: and he's getting ready to go. And all he asked
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: God to do is remember me when you get to
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: the kingdom. Just remember me. He didn't ask him, save me.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: He just said, just remember me. Just remember me when
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: you get to the kingdom. Tomorrow belongs to God. I'm
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: going to share one more quick scripture and then I'm
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: going to move on. Take me to Jezebel. Take me
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: to Jezebel and I'm out. Take me to... Yeah, 1
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Kings 19, 1 through 8. And get this, get this
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: in our mouth. In fact, I don't even have to
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: go to 8. I think I can go to 3
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: and get it. Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: done and how he had killed all the prophets with
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: the sword. So Jezebel sent a messenger. So Jezebel sent
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: a messenger.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: To Elijah.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Jezebel sent a worrying messenger to Elijah. Jezebel sent the
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: spirit of worry to Elijah. It would only work if
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: she threatened him. She didn't kill him. She just threatened him.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Isn't it funny how there will always be somebody to
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: bring you back news to worry you? Listen to what
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. Jezebel didn't kill him. She sent a messenger
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: to threaten him. What is threatening you? What? I'm asking
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: you a question. What is threatening you? Jezebel sent that message.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: idolatrous Jezebel, prophet killing Jezebel, praise killing Jezebel, faith killing Jezebel,
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: comfort killing Jezebel, confidence disrupting Jezebel will always send you
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: a message. And this is the message. May the gods
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: deal with me. Be it ever so severely if by
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: this time tomorrow I do not make your life like
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: one of them other prophets I killed. Elijah was afraid
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: and ran for his life. Elijah who didn't run from nothing.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: Ran from worry.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: When he came to Beersheba in Judah he left his
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: servant there. Because sometimes like Jesus in Gethsemane, you can't
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: take nobody with you. While he himself went a day's
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: journey into the wilderness, he came to a broom bush.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: The King James says a juniper tree. Sat down under
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: it and prayed that he might die. I want to
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: speak to every person who's trapped and so worried that
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: you want to die. Tomorrow belongs to God. No, no, no.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Get this.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: You're worried to death or in pain about yesterday. Yesterday
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: is trying to get you to kill tomorrow. And you
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: don't know what a day will bring. She said, if
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: I don't take you out in the next 24 hours,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: may the gods deal with me. I'm going to kill
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: you just like I killed the others. And he started
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: running and got up under the tree and said, if
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: I'm going to die, God, I want you to take me.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: He said, I have had enough, Lord. I want an
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: honest answer. How many people have said to God, I
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: have had enough? Elijah came to God and said, I
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: have had enough.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Now he is a.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: Day's journey in his travels and doesn't notice that that
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Jezebel is a liar, for him to be alive to
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: complain is a miracle, cause she said, tomorrow, She said,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: by this time tomorrow, I will take your life.
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: And he ought to be shouting.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: Up under the juniper tree because 24 hours later, he's
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: still alive. Let me tell you, some of you are
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: worried about stuff you ought to be shouting about because
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: if the devil had his way, he would have took
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: you out by now. But because tomorrow belongs to God,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: I want somebody who's living in a miracle, who's standing
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: in faith to give God some glory right now. No, no, no, no, no.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: I want somebody that the enemy tried to take out
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: and threaten you all your life and said, by this
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: time tomorrow, I'm going to destroy you and you are
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: still alive to get out from under that cute stuff
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: and praise God like you're grateful. Tell your neighbor, all
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: three of them, tomorrow belongs to God. Tomorrow belongs to God.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow belongs to God. If it didn't belong to God,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: I'd be dead. If it didn't belong to God, I'd
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: have a nervous breakdown. If it didn't belong to God,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: I'd lose my mind. If it didn't belong to God,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: I'd throw in the towel. If it didn't belong to God,
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: I'd blow my brains out. But tomorrow belongs to God.
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: You're walking in yesterday's tomorrow. Nothing you went through took
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: you out. If you survived yesterday, you can survive today.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: And if you survive today, you can make it to tomorrow.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: Hell is lying. Jezebel is a liar. The doctor is
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: a liar. The disease is a liar. The IRS is
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: a liar. Tomorrow belongs to God. I wish I had
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: a praiser somewhere in this house that could praise God
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: for tomorrow. Praise God for tomorrow. Praise God for tomorrow.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: I haven't stepped in it yet, but I'm praising you
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: by faith for tomorrow. Thank you.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: Touch me, people.
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: Tell them I'm praising God because Jezebel was wrong. I'm
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: praising God because Jezebel was wrong. I'm praising God because
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: Jezebel was wrong. And when you get to the third one,
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: praise him like you lost your mind.
• 58:22
  Speaker 5: Praise him like you lost your mind.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Said the bell was rung. Said the bell was rung.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: Said the bell was rung. I don't understand it. I
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: know there are people in this room that survived cancer,
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: had heart attacks, had disruptions, been through hell, like to die,
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: and you're still here and you're standing around looking at
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: people with your teeth in your mouth.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: You ought to praise God that Jezebel was wrong.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: Put it on the screen. Put it on the big screen.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: Let everybody see it. Jezebel was wrong. Jezebel was wrong.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: I'm still here. I'm still here.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: I don't have all the answers. I cannot see tomorrow.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: But one thing I do know, Jezebel was wrong. Jezebel,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: you're a liar. Tenorah belongs to God.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Gentlemen, what's wrong? Gentlemen, what's wrong? Gentlemen, what's wrong?
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: Gentlemen, what's wrong? Gentlemen, what's wrong? Gentlemen, what's wrong? Gentlemen,

  Speaker 1: what's wrong? Gentlemen, what's wrong? Gentlemen, what's wrong?
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: Gentlemen, what's wrong? Gentlemen, what's wrong? Gentlemen, what's wrong?
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: Gentlemen, what's wrong?
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: Gentlemen, what's wrong?
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: Tell them! Tell them!
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: Tell them!
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: Tell them!
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: Tell them!
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 5: Tell them!
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: Yes!
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: Yes!
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! I can't hear you.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: What?
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 5: What?
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: What?
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: What? Tell the man what's wrong. Tell the man what's wrong.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: What? What?
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: What?
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: What?
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: What? What?
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: What?
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: What? What? Sing it!
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: Hi, Jezebel! Jezebel was wrong! Jezebel was wrong! Jezebel was wrong!
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: Jezebel was wrong! Jezebel was wrong!
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: Wow!
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: Jezebel was wrong!
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: Jezebel was wrong!
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: Jezebel was wrong!
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: Jezebel was wrong!
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 5: Jezebel was wrong!
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: Jezebel was wrong! Jezebel was wrong! Jezebel was wrong! Give
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: Him a praise, somebody!
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Give me that guitar. I feel God's
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: store for it right now. Yeah. Take me back to
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: the sanctified church. Can we get ready to break a yoke?
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: Cast out a devil. The devil of worry. The devil
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: of worry. We're going to.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 5: Cast it out.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: We're going to cast it out.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: We're going to cast it out. In the name of Jesus,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: the spirit of heaviness.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: It's a spirit.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: That depression is a spirit.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: It's a demonic influence.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: God said, I'll give you the garment of praise for the.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: Spirit of heaviness.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: Ah!
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: Jezebel was wrong.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Don't believe her. You should have been in jail. You
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: should have been destroyed. You should have been locked up.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: You should have been a drug dealer. But Jezebel was wrong.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: You owe God a praise. I need a sanctified praise.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: A sanctified praise. Whoa. Hallelujah. Sister Harry, I was, I
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: was telling them when my mama was behind the wall
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: in the storefront frying chicken with Wes's aunt frying fish,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: selling sandwiches out to church to pay the rent to
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: keep the doors open, if you would have ever told
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: me that I would end up here, a prophetess came
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: to our church and she prophesied and she was from
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: Georgia her name was Evangelist Bernice I think Johnson she
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: said God said he's going to send you 500 souls
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: I'm driving a 1965 Valiant and it was old in
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: It's old now, but it was old then. It was
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: rusty and the floorboard was rusted out of it. And
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: I'm loaded down carrying the members back home. Brother Morris
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: says to me, Pastor, if the Lord give us 500 souls,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: where are we.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: Going to put them?
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: Because the church seated about 80 people. Just look around me.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't plan it. I didn't orchestrate it. I didn't
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: see it coming. I didn't have the vision to see
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: this far down the road. I remember they had my
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: anniversary and I got so depressed I wanted to quit
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: because hardly anybody came and all the guest pastors members
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: were there and none of mine showed up and I
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: was so depressed I wanted to quit. I wanted to quit.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: I almost quit right then. It just was so humiliating
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: and I wanted to quit. I didn't realize that tomorrow
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: belongs to God When we were in the house and
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: coming home from church Sarita and the lights was off
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: and we told the boys we was playing a game
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: and The game was to see who could get to
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: the bed first without stumping their toe Won a prize.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: I couldn't afford.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: Do you remember when I used to climb out of
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: the bedroom window at night into the part of the
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: house that we started building and I couldn't finish? And
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: you kept telling me everything was okay and it didn't
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: matter whether we had any money or not. And I
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: was climbing out of the window worrying about how I
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: was gonna get us up out of that situation. Tomorrow
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: belongs to God. I wasn't even trying to get here.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to get here. I was trying to
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: get all my utilities on at the same time. I
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: was trying to get a Sears revolving credit card so
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: we could get stuff we needed for the house. And
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: buy clothes and take care of the babies. I was
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: trying to get diapers that didn't require duct tape.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: I am telling you.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: You understand what I'm talking about? I am telling you
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: that tomorrow belongs to God. Yesterday morning I talked to
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: two senators on the phone and Puffy called me and
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: asked me to ask you to pray for him because
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: he's getting ready to host Billboard tonight. Billboard Awards tonight
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: at 8 o'clock. He called somebody who didn't even have
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: their phone on yesterday. And today heads of state and
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: people around the world are calling a guy who couldn't
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: keep his phone on. You understand what I'm telling you?
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: When I tell you tomorrow belongs to God, I'm not
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: trying to hype you up. I'm telling you stuff I
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: absolutely know. We didn't wait till we got to tomorrow
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: to praise him. We had all-night shut-ins. We praised God
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: with no lights on. We praised God when the gas
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: was off and the house was cold. And you remember
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: when we had kerosene heaters trying to heat the house
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: in the bedroom because we didn't have gas on? And
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: we were shouting in. Now, you know if I was
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: shouting in. You know that gum well I'm going to
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: shout now. And I rebuke any lying spirit that would
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: ever insinuate that I'm doing this for money. I did
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: this with no lights. I did this with no water.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: I did this with no car. I did this with
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: no food in the house. I praise God when I
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: didn't know what we was going to eat the next day.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: I praise God. when we were gathering apples to feed
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: the kids because we had no groceries. I praise God
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: when we were taking pop bottles up to the 7-Eleven
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: and rolling up quarters trying to get money to buy
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: enough to feed my kids. How dare you insult me?
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: How dare you insult me to come in at the
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: end of the movie and think you understand the story?
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: How dare you insult me? I am living in my tomorrow.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: I am living in my tomorrow. And my yesterday earned
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: me the right to stand where.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: I'm standing right now. Hallelujah.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: I know what I'm talking about. Tomorrow belongs to God.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: And if God decides to bless you, no devil, no witch,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: no hex, no spell, no mistake, no failure, no sin,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: no shortcoming, nothing can stop God. If God gets ready
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: to bless you, tomorrow belongs to God. That Jezebel curse
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: that keeps you up at night is a lion spirit
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: from the pit. I'm not saying you won't go through tests.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying you won't go through trials. I'm not
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: saying you're going to get everything you want. But I'm
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: telling you that God has an expected end for your life.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: And that his thoughts are good towards you and not evil.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: And whatever comes and whoever goes, God is still going
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: to bless you. And you stop worrying about your future.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: God has got it. Tomorrow belongs to God. Who am
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: I preaching to? Young people. I know you're scared the
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: times are shaky the odds are set against you you
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: got degrees you can't pay for you prepared yourself for
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: something that don't even exist I know that sometimes even
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: though you're doing it you're wondering am I enough and
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: I know how frightening it is to be young and
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: out there and shocked by how much it takes to
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: be out there It takes a lot. It takes a
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: lot of money, a lot of strength, a lot of wisdom,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of planning. And it's the slow death of
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: having fun and flesh. And I know you're worried. And
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: I know you're scared. But I got old to tell you.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: I got old to tell you I was you. And
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: if I made it, if he did it for me,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: he'll do it for you. And whatever he gave you
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: is enough to get you to where you're trying to go.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: Do not doubt him at this stage. To my generation,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: stop telling yourself to die. Stop wishing yourself to death.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: Stop telling yourself you're old. Stop listening at the aches
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: and pains in your body. As long as you have breath,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: as long as you have presence of mind, as long
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: as you can contribute, keep on doing what you're doing.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: Motion is lotion. Keep it moving, baby girl. Keep it moving.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: If death gets you, let it have to chase you down.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: It's going to have to run up and hit me
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: in the back of my head. I am not going
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: to lay down and roll over and give up because
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: you think I'm supposed to. The devil is alive. I'll
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: fight you on a cane. I'll fight you on a walker.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: I'll hit you in the head with a stick. I
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: go when he says go. I come when he says come.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow belongs to God. If God spoke to you today,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: lift your hands and open your mouth and give him
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: praise right now. Give me a moment and let me
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: share something with you. I am not inviting you, when
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: I invite you to Jesus, I am not inviting you
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: to a religion. I am inviting you to a relationship.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: If you get the religious part of it and you
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: don't get the relationship, it ain't going to do you
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: no good. It is not the mere ceremonies. When you
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: go out of service, there are going to be people
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: being baptized. The baptism is the outward sign of the
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: inward transformation. If you don't have an inward transformation, you
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: go in a dry devil and you come up a
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: wet one. It starts when you give your heart to Jesus.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: You know why?
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow belongs to God. And tomorrow, no wait, wait, wait,
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: don't clap. Tomorrow is daunting for everybody, young and old,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: rich and poor, black and white. It doesn't matter. It
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter what your politics. Tomorrow is daunting.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: It's tough.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: Don't you dare think you can take it on without Jesus.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: Don't you dare think you're slick. enough to take it
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: on without Jesus you need Jesus in your life I
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: mean not Sunday in your life to keep you sane
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: to keep you going Everyone standing with your head bowed.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: If there's a person in this room who is recognizing
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: your need for God. If there's a person in this
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: room who understood what I was preaching and you know
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: that your tomorrow belongs to God and that nothing about
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: your history can destroy your destiny but you need God's
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: direction To put you into the right place at the
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: right time. Not just to be successful, to be sane.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: To be a survivalist. To be sustainable. You need God.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: You can't change where you started. But you can change
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: where you end up. I invite you to walk down
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: this aisle and come to this altar and give your
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: life to Jesus. And I can't make you, but I
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: can invite you. He will not break into your life.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: It is by invitation only. And you're walking down the
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: aisle says, this is important to me. I'm going to
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: seek first the kingdom. I've been thinking, I have been
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: seeking all these things more than I've been seeking God.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: I will seek first the kingdom of God and all
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: these things shall be added unto me. If you're in
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: this room, and I'm not going to wait long because
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: I preach strong enough that if the Holy Ghost don't
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: draw you, stay where you at. If there's a son
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: or daughter or grandmama or mama or daddy or single
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: parent in this room who needs God to face tomorrow,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: come down to this altar. Come down to this altar.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: I don't care the color of your skin. I don't
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: care your net worth. I don't care if you're worth
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: billions or pennies. You still need Jesus. I don't care
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: if you got more degrees than I can count up
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: on my hand from all the most prestigious Ivy League colleges.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: You still need Jesus. Your tomorrow is still uncertain. You
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: need God and you need him now. You need God
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: and you need him now. You need God and you.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: Need him now. Bless you, sir. Thank you. Thank you
• 1:21:58

• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: loves our ministry and he drove in a truck all
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: the way up here to be in our service. Give God.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: Praise.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: You see, Peter and John came at the hour of
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: prayer and found the lame man at the gate called Beautiful.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: The lame man needed Peter and John because he was lame.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: But Peter and John needed the lame man too because
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: he gave him purpose and he gave him meaning. You
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: gave me purpose, man. You gave me meaning. You got
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: me out of the bed every morning. You gave me
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: something to fight for. You gave me something more important
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: than my flesh. You gave me something more important than myself.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: And together we are here today in a tomorrow that
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: we never dreamed of. And we made it. And you're free.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: And I'm free.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 4: And we're whole.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: And we celebrate together. That is the gospel story. That
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: is the gospel made flesh. That is the word made flesh.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: Who else is coming? Who else is coming? This is
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: a moment of transformation. If you're online, the information is
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: on the screen. Our prayer warriors are waiting on you.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: You can come to Christ right in your living room.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: You don't have to be in this church. He'll come
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: right where you are. Come right now. Last call. Last call.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: Bow your heads. I want to pray with you. The
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: hard work has already been done. The preaching of the
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: gospel produces faith. Faith produces salvation. This is just a
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: moment of confession, an open confession and declaration that this
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: is a turning point for you in your life. Whether
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: you are backslider returning back to God or whether you
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: are first time convert, the same blood that cleanses the backslider,
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: cleanses the sinner. There are not two different kinds of blood.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: It is just one blood. It is the blood of Jesus.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: He paid for your right to come back. He paid
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: for your right to be renewed. He paid for your
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: right to be strengthened. He paid for you. He paid
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: for your peace.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: He paid for your sanity. He paid for you.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: God cares about how your mind is. He said do
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: not worry because he's watching your head.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: He loves you. He loves you.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: He may not condone everything you do but he loves you.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: You are not what you did. He loves you. Right
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: now I bring your sons and daughters to you. Your
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: sheep that have gone astray. I lay them at the
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: feet of the shepherd. And oh how you love them.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: Oh how you love them. Oh how you shed your
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: blood for them. Oh how you wash them. Oh how
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: you cleanse them. Oh how you break curses off of them.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: Oh how you suffered for them. So that they could
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: have sanity and sanctity. So that they could have dignity.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: So that they could be at peace. I pray that
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: not one soul around this altar would ever be the
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: same again. That the power of God would move in
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: their life in supernatural ways. That they would leave better
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: than they came. That they would be made whole and
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: set free. That shame and guilt that has caused them
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: dis-ease and dis-grace would be washed away.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: Washed away. Washed away.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: Washed out of their mind. Washed out of their spirit.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: And that they would be made whole. And I decree
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: and declare that it is done right now in the
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus. And the whole church celebrate it. And
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: the whole church celebrate it. Now quickly before I dismiss
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: this service, Pastor Michael, I want you to come dismiss
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: this service. Before I dismiss this service, if there are
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: people in the audience or people at the altar who
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: would like to be members of the Potter's House, I
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: want to be your pastor. I want to be your pastor.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: In the autumn of my life, I want to leave
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: a deposit in you that will stay with you the
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: rest of your life. I believe that God has given
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: me something that belongs to you. And if he can
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: get it through me, he will give it to me.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: And if I minister in such a way, and this
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: church ministers in such a way, that your soul resonates
• 1:27:39

• 1:28:56
  Speaker 3: We didn't build this building.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: So everybody could just watch online. We built this church
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: to be a functioning church. Ow! This is God's doing.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: This is God's doings. This is God's doings. And all

  Speaker 2: Lord God, they're still coming.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Now wait a minute, get your pocketbook and everything,
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: because after this it's going to be over, and I
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: want you to come as close to the stage as
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: you can. It's old school, it's old fashioned, but we're
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: going to dismiss you as a family, as a family.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: We're a big church, but we're always going to be
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: a family. We're going to always be connected. We're going
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: to always be able to stand by each other and
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: support each other in good times and in bad. In
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: Charles Dickens times. in the moments in life where you
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: can't even explain how you are, we're going to stick
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: together and let's gather around the altar. Young and old,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: black and white, brown, this is what America needs to see.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: This is what America needs to see, that we can
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: be in the same space and love each other because
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: of Jesus. This is what's going wrong in our country.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: We've lost sight of what's right. You're my brother, dude.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: You're my brother.

  Speaker 2: Come up here. You're my brother, dude. Yeah, you're my brother.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: Come here, what's up, man? I spoke this into existence.

• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: You spoke this into existence? You saw this moment coming?
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: Here it is.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 4: Here it is.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: I have never.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: Done this before. So maybe this is a sign and
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: a witness to you. And maybe we can be a
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: sign to the world that together we can make this
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: world a better place. I love you, man.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: I love you.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: Give it up, come on. This is what the world
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: ought to look like. This is what the world oughta
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: look like. This is what the world oughta look like.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: Come here, brother. Come here, yeah, yeah, come on. Yeah,

  Speaker 2: Welcome to the family.
• 1:32:29

• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: of sisters. I want some women on the stage. Women
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: on the stage. This is what family looks like. We
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: don't have to look alike. We don't have to think alike.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: We don't have to dress alike. We don't have to
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: walk alike. We don't have to shop at the same place.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: What brings us together is the blood, not our natural blood,
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: the blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus is what
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: makes us one. Do y'all get that? Everybody who gets that,
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: clap your hands. Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap your hands.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap your hands.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: I have no need to shoot you. I have no
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: desire to shoot you. I have no desire. I hope
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: you got no need to shoot me. I hope you
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: have no need to shoot me. Together, we must demonstrate
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: and model to the world what love looks like. The
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: world has lost their mind. Do y'all get that? And
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: I'm calling you together. And I'm calling you to stand together.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: And I know we come from different ends of town.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: How many people come from North Dallas? Make some noise
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: if you come from North Dallas. How many of you
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: come from De Soto? How many of you come from
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: South Dallas? How many of you come from Fort Worth?
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: I don't care where.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 2: You come from or what you drive.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: The church should transcend all of that stuff. Do y'all
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: get it? We got people listening at me on translators.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: We got people who are speaking Portuguese. We got people
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: who are speaking Spanish. We got people listening who speak Swahili.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: We translate into 90 different languages. I bet you there
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: are at least 60,000 to 90,000 people watching me online
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: right now from all over the world. We need to
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: show them a better America, a better Christianity, a better faith,
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: a better walk with God.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: Are you hearing me?
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, Pastor Phillips is going to
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: pray you out. Listen, there are too many lonely people
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: standing here. How can we have this many people and
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: have people lonely? How can we come together and talk
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: about Jesus and you go home to isolation? With nobody
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: to talk to and nowhere to go. The reason I
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: call you together as a family is because I don't
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: want you to just come here and watch a movie.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: I want you to have an experience that creates bonding
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: and closeness and communication where you can keep it real.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: Even if keeping it real means talking about stuff that's wrong.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: tired of burying folks.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: I'm tired, y'all. I'm tired of caskets rolling in and out.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: I'm tired. There's got to be a better answer. Are
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: you with me?
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: I know it's COVID and we're supposed to be careful
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. Put your hand on
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: somebody's shoulder just to let them know that they're not alone.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: Loneliness is killing us. Come on, Pastor Phillips. As we
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: pray out, I want y'all to sing something about love
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: or something about brotherhood or something about family. I want
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: you to find something to sing that draws people together
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: because the only thing that will overcome hate is love.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: Are y'all with me? Pastor, have final words. Talk to
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: us and take us out.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Bishop.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 4: Can we thank God for our bishop just for a moment?
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 4: Look at somebody and say, tomorrow belongs to the Lord.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 4: Come on, put your hand on that shoulder. That person
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 4: right next to you, leave no one left out. Father,
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 4: we come to you right now. Understanding the complexity of
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 4: our times, but knowing we do not serve an ambiguous God.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: For we know that all things....
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 4: Work together for the good of those who love the
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 4: Lord and are called according to your purpose. So Father,
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 4: we step into the unforced rhythm of your grace.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: And we lay our anxiety down. We lay our anxiety.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 4: Down because we will not allow the limits of time
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 4: to produce unlimited.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: Anxiety in our life.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 4: We will give no thought for tomorrow, for tomorrow belongs
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 4: to you. And because there is still a fountain filled
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 4: with your precious blood that was drawn from Emmanuel's veins,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 4: we will be at peace because we have the power,
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 4: the tools, the weaponry to plead the blood of Jesus
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 4: So over every household, over every family, over every individual, Father,
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 4: we plead the blood of Jesus.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: Over our loved ones, over every individual we're.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: Worried about, we plead the blood of Jesus.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 4: Over those who are shuttered and sick and those who
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 4: are infirm, we plead the blood of Jesus. Let your
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 4: precious healing blood flow to every person.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: That we are worried about.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 4: Now, Father, may your peace, that pass of all understanding,
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 4: guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus. Now
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 4: unto him who is able to keep us from falling
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 4: And present us faultless for the presence of his glory.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 4: To the only wise God be glory, majesty, dominion, and power.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' name. Somebody say amen. God bless you. We
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: love you. Love somebody on the way out. See you
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: Wednesday night.
