  Speaker 1: The congregation was in flight. You ain't never seen such
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: flapping going on in a place in all.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Of your life.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, big old long arms and short arms, little
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: old skinny arms and fat arms. It was all, everything
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: was just flapping in this place. That was an outer
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: sign of an inner conviction of to rise to the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: height of your calling, spread your possibilities, and soar above
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: your adversities and fly like the eagle you were created
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Look at your neighbor and say, I'm an eagle. This
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: is the part of time.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: From time to time, I hear people writing to me
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: or they'll hit me up on Twitter and they say,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I went through five years. It got wasted. I gave
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: 10 years into that relationship. It was wasted. I worked
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: for that company 20 years. It was wasted. You are wrong.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: This message says nothing that you've been through shall be wasted.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Stop mourning over where you've been and use it to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: get on with getting on with getting on to where
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: you're going. Nothing that you've been through shall be wasted.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: You can always tell when God stirs a nest. All
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: hell breaks loose. And like the little eaglet, when the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: nest first gets stirred, the little eaglet tries to sit
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: where it used to sit, and it has to jump up.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Tries to sit over again, and it has to jump up.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And it tries to sit again. Just because something doesn't
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: work in your life doesn't mean you're up under satanic attack.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say that again. Just because something doesn't
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: work in your life doesn't mean you're up under satanic attack.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: It could be possible that you're trying to rest in
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: where God.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Used to be.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Seeing yourself through the lens of who you were will
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: stop you from seeing yourself through the lens of who
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: God called you to be. And sometimes God has to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: stir the nest because the purpose of that person place
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: or thing in your life has been completed there's nothing
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: more frustrating than trying to raise up something that God
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: is trying to kill nothing more frustrating than trying to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: be somebody that God is trying to crucify you have
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to have the liquidity of thought the liquidity of thought
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And the nimbleness of mind to transition from how you
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: once saw yourself into where God is calling you. If
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you saw yourself as a sedentary eaglet sitting in a
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: nest enjoying the comfort of your nest. It's hard to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: see yourself soaring. After all soaring is more work. Requires
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: more muscles. Requires more effort. You expend more energy. It's
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: easier to lay back in your nest and say, feed me.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Feed me. Love me. Love me. Acknowledge me. Open doors
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: for me. Make a way for me. Me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden the food stops. When the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: food stops it's a sign for you to move on.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Mama's not dropping it in your mouth as good as
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: it was. I rebuke the powers of the devil. I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: come against it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Can't you see the little eaglets praying?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I come against Satan's power in the name of Jesus.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I come against it. I rebuke the powers and the principalities.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Over this region.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Mama should have been here by now. I come against
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the Satan. You delaying my blessing. You holding up my blessing.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I rebuke the power.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Where is Mama? Mama should have been here.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I rebuke the power. The principalities are holding it back.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Prayed and prayed and prayed. What do you do when
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you pray and it doesn't work? When you rebuked it
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't stop. You're prying yourself. I'm hungry. The
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: food ain't coming in. Here comes the problems and the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: thorns are coming up. And I don't have the nourishment
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to rest in the place I used to be. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: don't have the grace to do it. I always knew
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: when something was over, I just didn't have the grace
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to do it. The grace. Grace will cover your eyes
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: against what you're going through and make it easier to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: manage because you don't feel the weight of it. When
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you have the grace to do it. When you have
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the grace to work two or three jobs. When you
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: have the grace to do it. It doesn't bother you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: like it would bother you because you got a grace
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to do it. You got a grace to put up
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: with something that other people couldn't put up with. You
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: got a grace to do it. But when that grace
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: stops and all of a sudden you notice those thorns
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and thistles start coming up. Now you got to move
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: into another dimension. Moses' thorns and thistles. was the murdering
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: of an Egyptian man and his people knowing it and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: talking about it and rising up against him and not
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: letting him forget what he did, what he did. People
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: will attack you. They will always bring up what you did.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: You have to live with what you did all your life.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: That's why you ought to be careful what you do.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: That's a tweetable quote right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: That right there. That right there. Somebody say that right there.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: They were bringing up what he did. And all of
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: a sudden he had to get out of the nest.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Leave the palace and the marble floors and the gold
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: columns and the big fans and the grapes being fed
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: to him. Wine being served to him. Somebody to bathe him.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Somebody to teach him. Somebody to train him. Somebody to
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: take care of him. All of that shut down And
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: he escapes into the desert, a dry place, a barren place.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: And while running from his past, he runs into his purpose.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: While escaping how he was once defined, he now runs
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: into a new identity that he never had before. What
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: the correct term for it is, is an epiphany whereby
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: you begin to have an awakening to something that you
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: didn't know a spiritual, an epiphany can be a spiritual
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: awakening whereby it changes the lens through which you see
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: everything going forward. You don't have that every day. You
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: don't have that every week.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Just periodically in the space of your whole life, you
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: have those spiritual awakenings that change, say, in his case,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the next 40 years of his life was changed by
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: one moment. One moment changed the next 40 years of
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: his life. A bad moment, an ego-stirring moment has placed
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: him in the wilderness, and all of a sudden, he
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: doesn't know who he is. Now, this is a big
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: deal because his identity has always been a problem. He
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: was a Hebrew boy. but he didn't grow up with
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the Hebrews. He was a Hebrew boy raised with the Egyptians.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: He was already up under an identity crisis. He was
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: too Hebrew to be Egyptian and too Egyptian to be Hebrew.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I want to talk to people whose background is complicated.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I want to talk to.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: People whose resume is has to be censored. Let me
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: try them, they don't understand. I want to talk to
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: people who only tell half your testimony. There are certain
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: parts of your testimony that are available for human consumption.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Look at somebody and say, but it's complicated. Let me
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: just try something. Daddy was a good man, but it's complicated.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Mama was a good mother, but it's complicated. I grew
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: up a happy child. But it's complicated. Whenever you hear
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: people throw that but in there, there are some extenuating circumstances.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: It means I can tell you about this part. All
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in all, it was good, but there was some other
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: stuff that I don't want to bring up. But that
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: other stuff helps to shape who I am just as
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: much as the good stuff helps. Oh, God, help me.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: And Moses was his own man. He was strong and mighty.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: He'd been raised. He was strong. He was powerful.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: He was educated.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: He was intellectual. He was respected in Egypt. But he
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: wasn't really truly an Egyptian. And though he was raised
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: with them. He really wasn't one of them. And he
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: was a Hebrew to a degree. And yes he was
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: a Hebrew. But it wasn't like he could go hang
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: out with the Hebrews. Because Hebrews didn't like him. He
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: had the smell of the Egyptians on him. He got
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the nerve to have an Egyptian accent. Ooh, you don't
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: talk like one of us. You talk like you're an Egyptian.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: You know how people will hear your speech and say
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you talk like the other people.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Still to come on The Potter's Touch.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: He had robes he couldn't wear.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Jewelry he didn't need.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Training in science that is totally unusable in this environment
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: because all information is not transferable from one world into
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: the next. You understand what I'm saying? This is not that.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: So you cannot come over into this and act like
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that and stay. If you're going to survive in this,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: you have to give up that and become a student again.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Don't settle in your nest when you should be soaring.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: It's time to fly.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Every time I try to sit down with less than
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: what I was created to be, something sticks me and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I've got to get up and try again. There are
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: certain situations that God will make so unbearable that you
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: don't have to discern that it's time to go. It's
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: almost impossible to stay. What's wrong with you is all
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: those people who knew you'd win. Because if they knew
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you'd win, they'll hold you to back then.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I gotta go!
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Don't let the counterfeit experience of being good stop you
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: from the pursuit of greatness.
• 12:03

• 12:05

• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I love to hear married couples talk about how long
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: they've been married. We've been married for 50 years and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: people always clap. You know, they always clap, you know.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: They clap, you know, and they say they've been happily
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: married for 50 years.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: They're lying.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, I said it. I said it. I'm in it
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: and I'm here to represent it. You ain't been happily
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: nothing for 50 years. Not for 50 years. No, not
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: every day and every week and every minute and every
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: moment for 50 years. You know, you're telling us about
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the good part. You're not telling us about the tough part.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: You're not telling us about when she spent the money
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: that she was saving up for something else. You're not
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: telling us about the extra pocketbooks up under the bed
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and the shoes and y'all fussing about that. You're not
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: talking about that new secretary he got and why she
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: stand up looking you in the face like she looking
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: at you. You're not talking about he always spent all
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the money and he don't take care of business. And
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: you ain't talking about that you married a mama's boy
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: and you're sinking him over your mama's house. all the
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: time but y'all stuck it out and you made it
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: over and you saw i know you married people can't
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: say nothing because you can't blow your cover but there's
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: some divorced people in here that have.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Got my back hey you know what i'm talking about.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: It bothers me because if you buy that baloney that
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: people serve out, you'll.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Expect to see that in your life.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: And if it doesn't work like that for you, you'll
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: give up on it because you're expecting it to be
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: like what you saw on TV.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: But in real life, you got.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: To go through some ups and downs and some crooks
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and some crannies. And sometimes you stay together, but it's complicated.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: And you own the.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: House, but it's complicated. They come in my house all
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the time. They say, oh, look at your house. You
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: own this? I say, yeah, this month. I own it
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: this month.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I own it this month. So far, I own it
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: right now. Oh, y'all don't hear what I'm saying to you?
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I own it, but it's complicated. I own it, but
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: they got the notes. And now, as messed up and
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: complicated as his life is, now that's been messed up.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Bad has gotten worse. That's why you got to watch
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: out about complaining about bad. Because it was kind of
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: complicated in the palace. It might have been bad because
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: on the inside he had some deficiencies and insecurities and
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: areas where he didn't really feel like he totally belonged.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: But he was eating good and he was sleeping good
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and they were cleaning up the room and washing his clothes.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: And pressing his little undies and stuff. It was real good.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: It was good considering. You know what all he'd been through.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: He had a little bad stuff to kind of fight.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: But he was doing pretty good. And then bad got worse.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And now the eagle has stirred the nest. And he
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: has to climb out of the nest. And start running
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: through the wilderness. Running through. running through a wilderness he
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: had never.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Been in before.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: He didn't know nothing about survival techniques for the wilderness.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: He was raised in the palace. And there he is
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: out there in the wilderness trying to figure out, now
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: which plant can you eat? Uh, How do you get
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: water in the desert? He didn't know which cactus you could.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Suck the water out of.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: He had to figure it all out because he was
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: in a new place.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Has life ever put you in a new place.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And you don't know how to function properly? In this
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: new environment. And what was complicated has become a crisis. Now,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: he's free from Pharaoh. Pharaoh is behind him. No problems there.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Got that straightened out. They're trying to kill him.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: He escaped all that.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Got the victory. Victory. Victory.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: What am I going to eat?
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Have you ever had the victory in one place and
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: all hell breaking loose in the other place? And you
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: could shout about this part over here. You sure did
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: beat that old Pharaoh out. But I don't know what
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: in the world I'm going to do here. A little
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: situation coming up on the 5th. And he was in
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the desert. And God left him in the desert for
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: 40 years. He wandered around out there and ran into
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: some Midianites and Jethro. And Jethro kind of took him
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: up under the wings and said, no, he's dead. That'll
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: kill you. Eat that right there. Is that right there?
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: When you get hungry out there in the woods, you
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: eat that. You dig that up and suck the roots
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and get some.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Moisture out of it. You'll be able.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: To survive in that environment. I didn't learn that in
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: all my schooling. They didn't teach me anything about what
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: root to suck water out of. How to guard myself
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: against the heat of the sun. How to survive in
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: a dry place. I didn't know nothing about that. And
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: he got her hanging around Jethro. Jethro said, I got
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: some work for you to do.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Work? What is work? Do you not know?
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I've been raised in a trade world house. We had
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: people working for us. And all of a sudden he's
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: introduced to work. And of all things to be introduced
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: to do, I mean, he had robes he couldn't wear.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: jewelry he didn't need, training in science that is totally
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: unusable in this environment because all information is not transferable
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: from one world into the next. You understand what I'm saying?
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: This is not that. So you cannot come over into
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: this and act like that and stay. If you're going
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: to survive in this, you have to give up that
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: and become a student again. You can't be important out
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: of your element. And walk around with your chest stuck
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: out just because you were successful over there playing football.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Don't make you a star over here having church. Just
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: because you're successful in church doesn't make you successful in NASA.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Anytime you step into a new arena, you got to
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: humble yourself.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: And become a student again. So he's over there. Walking
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: around like the prince of Egypt.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: All important.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: And Jethro asked him to go out there. And shovel
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: that sheep dung. And this is the test of pride.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: The test of pride. Can you do. What you got
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: to do. Where the Lord has placed you.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: To learn.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: What you got to learn so you can move from
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: one level to the next level to the next level.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: If you don't pass the test, you'll never complete the class.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: So you have to keep taking it over and over
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: and over again because you didn't learn what you should.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Have learned the first time. Who am I preaching to?
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to somebody right now. Jethro told me, Moses,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: to lead the sheep. Oh, smelly, dirty, stinky. Sheep look
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: good on them pictures and stuff, but I was out
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: in Jerusalem and I actually got to go out there where.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: The sheep were.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: See, when you see them in the picture, you can't
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: smell the picture and stuff, but when you actually go
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: out there where the sheep are... Yes, it'll make you
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: carry some glade and some Lysol and some Pine Sol.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: And you know how white they are in the pictures
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and stuff?
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: That's photo enhancement. It's
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: a kind of, it's not odor, it's odor. This is
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: a French term.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, indeed.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: They should bottle this with insecticide or something I know
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: they don't have to worry about mosquitoes. Nothing would want
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: to bite, nothing would smell like that. And he's in
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: this environment. And I know, I know the enemy must
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: have been saying, where is your God now? You out here,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I thought you had a mighty destiny. Your mama called
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: you Moses for being drawn out. I thought there was
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: a king and a mighty man and a general in
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: you and all you going through is survival techniques for
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: a desert you don't even, you didn't even come up in.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Look at you running around here. You the king of
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the sheep. Every so often you'll go through a period
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: in your life that seems like all of your real
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: skills are being wasted. It will feel like you're not
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: being used to your highest potential. It will feel like
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: you're living beneath your privilege. And if you're not careful,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: you will secretly see yourself as a failure because you
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: don't see yourself operating in the way that you dreamed
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: that you would. And he's just running around there saying,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: at least it didn't kill me And at least I
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: escaped Egypt. And I'm making the best of a bad situation.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, he has an epiphany. Just
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: walks up on it. Wasn't fasting for it. Wasn't praying
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: for it. Wasn't talking in tongues. Just walked up on it.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Didn't even expect it. Just blew his mind. You know,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: God is a master of suddenly. I'm going to say
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: that again.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: See, if you.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Understand that God is the master of suddenly, that means
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: sometimes your life will take a turn you never even
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: saw coming. It won't be no gradual progress, no evolution
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: that leads to a revolution. It'll be suddenly, straightway, immediately,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: out of nowhere, one phone call, one meeting, one person,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: one time, one job, and your whole life... Everything about
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: the next 40 years is about to change.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: .
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: .
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Thank you for allowing me to just interject a thought
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: or two and we'll continue right after this.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: Don't settle in your nest when you should be soaring.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: It's time to fly.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Every time I try to sit down with less than
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: what I was created to be, something sticks me and
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I've got to get up and try again. There are
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: certain situations that God will make so unbearable that you
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: don't have to discern that it's time to go. it's
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: almost impossible to stay. What's wrong with you is all
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: those people who knew you'd win. Because if they knew
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: you'd win, they'll hold.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: You to back then.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I gotta go! Don't let the counterfeit experience of being
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: good stop you from the pursuit of greatness.
• 26:29
