  Speaker 1: I want to suggest to you that you are that bush. Ah,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the bush. Don't overlook bushes. Don't overlook small things. God
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: could have set all of Mount Sinai on fire. He
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: could have had the whole mountain exploding. But he chose
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: perhaps a thorn bush. Saying bush in nature. That could
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: have put the crown of thorns on his head. He
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: was weeping. He was wounded. He was bruised. But he
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: was not destroyed. Death came to claim him. Oh my God.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Why hast thou forsaken me? Father forgive them. For they
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: know not what they do. Stones rolled in front of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the tomb. Guards in front of the tomb. He was burning.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: But he was not burnt. And as he was burning.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: So are you. I care. But I don't care. I'm concerned.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: But I'm not concerned. About what you're going through. Because
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: if you are under fire. If you are under pressure.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: If the heat has been turned on in your life.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not a prophet. But I come to tell you.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: You will not burn up. You shall live. And not die.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: You shall run. And not grow weary. You shall walk.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And not faint. Get the authority. That doesn't come from
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: your pedigree. Get the authority. That comes singularly from God.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not going down this road. I'm not going to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: be depressed. In 2013. I'm not going to be ill.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to be on top of anything that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: comes against my body. I'm not going to be distressed.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to be despairing. I'm not going to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: be cast down. I'm not going to be forsaken. I
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: won't be putting my head in my hands. I won't
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: be looking for Egyptians. I won't be looking for Hebrews.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: But I... I'm a bush that's burning. Tell your neighbor,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: look out, look out, look out, look out. I'm on fire.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Bishop's word said he was going to set it off
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: in here. And he has preached to us and taught
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: us until he has lit a fire down in my soul.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: The old church used to say, I wish the church
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of God would catch on fire. It wasn't a denomination.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a particular liturgical matter. It wasn't a particular
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: communion stream. But it was those that have a burning
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: down in their heart. The lamp of the word. David said,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: thy word have I hid in my heart. What is it?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It's a lamp unto my feet. It's a light unto
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: my path. I'm going to walk in it. I'm going
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to talk in it. I'm going to live in it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to move in it. Speak to me, Lord.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Can your neighbor speak to me, Lord? Oh, come on.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Say it like the church. Speak to me, Lord.
