  Speaker 1: Greetings, Christian brothers and sisters. What a joy, what a
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: delight it is to share the word of the Lord
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: with you. Our series, Rise Above, is changing lives, and
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I think you're going to be blessed too. As you
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: rise above the things that are holding you back, God
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: has so many things for you. And yet there are
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: times that I have to confess, even in my own life,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: there's been times that I want to throw up my
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: hand to walk away from everything. Say, it's all going crazy.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: It's too much for me. Listen, the message today is
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to defy the urge to quit. We all have them.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: We don't talk about them, but we have moments where
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: we feel like, take me away. I'm sick of it.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: But you have to fight that urge to quit because
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I always say you'll win. If you don't quit, take
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a look at this. It'll bless your life. Until you
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: have had the taste of finishing, you will not respect yourself.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Until you follow through, until something is done, come hell
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: or high water. tears and struggles and pain and you
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: go through it anyway and you show up and you
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: continue to fight on no matter the circumstances, after a while,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: something begins to wither inside of you. Love beareth.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: All things.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I haven't been taught to take anything. I was the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: baby of my family. My brother and sister weren't raised
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: like this, but I was. They did a hard time
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: in prison camp. They were shocked when my mother came
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: in my room and said, baby, what you want? I
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: had not been nurtured to bear anything, to take anything.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And being a man was hard work because I didn't
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: have anybody to show me.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: And it's hard to be what you cannot see.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: See, some people quit because things are out of control.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Nobody quits what you can control. But the moment you
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: get in something where you don't get your way, or
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you get reprimanded, or you get corrected, or you go
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: through this, or you go through that, or you go
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: through the other, or it's bad conditions or bad circumstances,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the first thing the immature mind says is, this is ridiculous,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I quit.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: And it's a hard thing.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: See, when you come to church, we're always talking about
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: sins of the flesh. Not being a whoremonger and coming
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: out of adultery.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: And stop lying.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: We give those things so much stage that being a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: weakling in the spirit can go undetected. If you aren't
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: doing drive-by shootings and muggings, you can pass for a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Christian and really get it done. As long as you
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: don't do anything horrific. I mean, if you didn't climb
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: down a pole to come to church this morning, you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: can pass for a mother in Zion. And the truth
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: of the matter, nobody will know that you can be
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: well as it relates to visible sins. The Bible calls
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: them sins of the spirit. The Bible talks about sins
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of the flesh and sins of the spirit. There are
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: some things that attack your flesh and there are some
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: things that attack your spirit. And I'm going to do
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: like Paul and say this I say but not the Lord.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: This is something that I have noticed that some people
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: who have a terrible time controlling their fleshly sins can
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: have real good character as it relates to other areas
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: of their life and other people who don't smoke and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: don't drink and don't chew and don't run around with
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: them that do. You can't find out what's wrong with
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: them until you marry them or get on the job
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: with them or interact with them. They will pass. Ask
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: for holy until you find out that they don't keep
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: their word, that they will give up easy, they don't
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: complete their assignments, you can't trust them to stand by you,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and no, they wouldn't take a drink for nothing in
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the world, but they wouldn't fight with you in a
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: lion's den, and sometimes you have a choice.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, God, help me.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: You'd almost rather have the other person in a dog
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: fight than to have somebody who is morally good And
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: their character is so defected that you don't know what
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: they're going to do from one moment to the next.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Can I preach this this morning? I never will forget
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the young minister, newly married. I had a friend of
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: mine who was much older than me who was going
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: through a real tough time in his marriage. And I
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: didn't even support him. or believe in, for that matter,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: divorce at that time. But his marriage got so bad,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I told him, you ought to get out. I said,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you ought to just get out. I watched him suffer
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: so bad, I thought you ought to quit. He was
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: so lonely that he got a dog and named it Friend. Oh, no, no, no.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not being funny.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I'm serious. I'm serious.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: See, you don't know what people go through behind the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: scenes trying.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: To cope with life.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And I watched him take so many blows in his heart,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: in his masculinity, in his character that it was so
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: hard to watch. I wanted him to divorce her so
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't have to see it. He stayed and things
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: got worse and then it got better and then it
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: got worse and then sickness came in and then it
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: got really bad. throwing up on him, urinating on him,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: cleaning her up. You see, you can go through stuff
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and never know what's going to happen down the road
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: or who you're going to need. My mother used to say,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you never know who's going to have to pass you
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: your last glass of water.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And he stuck it out to the end. I mean,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: to the end. And I was at the funeral. listening
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: at him scream and cry.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Over a person who I knew had broken his heart
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: into pieces over and over again. And yet there was
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: some bond between them deeper than what my young eyes
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: could see. And I remember thinking.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: You finished. I had never seen it before. You finished.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: You finished. You went all the way to the end.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Better and worse and sickness and health and richer and poor.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: You went through all of that stuff. All the way
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: to the end.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: It was amazing to see somebody who finished outside of convenience.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Still to come on The Potter's Touch.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I lost a lot of stuff.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I lost a lot of friends.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I lost a lot of strength.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I lost a lot of courage. I lost a lot
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: of time. I lost a lot of money. But I
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: kept down on my knees. I was still believing. Broke,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: I was believing. Lonely, I was believing. Betrayed, I was.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I want to know you're a healer, but I don't
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: want to be sick. How do you win the fight
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: when the enemy.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Is in me?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Is there a way I can be what I need
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to be without going through what I got to go through?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I fought with haters, liars, backbiters, and betrayers. And many
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: times I laid in the bed. I couldn't go to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: sleep because I was fighting with myself. I fought.

  Speaker 1: event of the year.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: You can't think higher than the level that you are
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: exposed to.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: The only reason why you don't think I've been through
• 10:49

  Speaker 3: Into the next dimension any way you can.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Make some noise if you're here. Paul writes to Timothy
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and says, I fought a good fight. Letting him know,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: being me is not easy. It's not for the faint
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: of heart. It's not in my suits. You can get
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: suits like me, but they won't make you stand like me.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I fought a good fight, baby. I fought one hell
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: of a fight. Are there any fighters in here? Slap
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: somebody and tell them I fought a good fight. I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: fought my way up. I fought to get to work.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I fought to get up on my feet. I fought
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to stand. I fought to carry on. I fought to love.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I fought to live. I fought to get out the bed.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I fought with.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: My fears, my doubts, my anxieties, my insecurities. I fought
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: with haters, liars, back biters, and betrayers. I even had
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to fight with family. And many times I laid in
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the bed. I couldn't go to sleep. Because I was
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: fighting with myself.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I fought. I fought. I fought. I fought somebody.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I fought a good fight. I mean, I fought such
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a good fight that when I look at what other
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: people call a fight, what they call a fight.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Is what I call normal.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: My whole perception of what a fight is has been revolutionized.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: That's not a fight. I fought a good fight. The
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: old man tells the young man, a good fight you
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: might not have seen it you saw the glamour you
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: saw the healings be healed be healed be healed but

• 14:06
  Speaker 4: I lost a lot of strength.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I lost a lot of courage.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: I lost a lot of time.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I lost a lot of money. But I kept down
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: on my knees. I was still believing.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Broke, I was believing. Lonely, I was believing.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Betrayed, I was... Just three people tell him, keep the faith,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: keep the faith. If you lose the job, keep the faith.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: If you lose the spouse, keep the faith. If you

• 15:10
  Speaker 1: keep the faith. You might not get a new heart,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: but you gotta keep your faith. Then he says, the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: old man says to the young man, I finished.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: My course. I am concerned.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Because we are living in a world that has become
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: comfortable with going to school.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: And getting an incomplete. The danger of living a life
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: of incompletes.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Three or four sets of families. Three or four sets
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: of kids. Nobody can count on you.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: To stay. Forget winning. Forget winning.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: To stay.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: To stay. You don't have to be a superhero. Nobody
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: can count on you to.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: Stay, to.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Stick it out, to endure. Nobody can count on you
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: past happiness.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: They used to come in my office and say, I'm
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: leaving him because he's beaten me. I'm leaving him because
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: he abused my children. I'm leaving him because he's homicidal.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Now they come in my office, they say, I'm leaving
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: because I'm not happy. You're not happy? Who told you
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you was gonna be happy? What does that have to
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: do with anything? Who do you know in your life
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: that is happy all the time? You quit because you
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: weren't happy? To the person who keeps quitting, you have
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to live with that infection that you carry. That propensity
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: to never finish. Paul says, I finished my course. I
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: didn't finish yours. I didn't finish yours. I didn't finish yours.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't finish yours. I'm not into your business. I'm
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: not trying to get in your business. People who are
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: trying to finish their course are not nosy. Because they
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: are so focused trying to finish what they started. I
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: don't have time to worry about what's going on in
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: your house. I'm so busy trying to manage what's going
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: on in.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: If all I can do to finish my course....
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Somebody in this room, you've quit so many things that
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: you've lost respect for yourself.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Somebody say, give me the grace to endure. Don't misunderstand it.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: You can't be no whip now.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: The apostle Paul got into trouble. Lord, remove this thorn
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: from my flesh.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: He had to pray.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: He had to go through some tough times. He said,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I got so depressed. I got so discouraged. I wanted
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: to die. I prayed after seeing people get healed and delivered.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I've raised people from the dead and couldn't get the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: thorn out of my own flesh. The contradictions of being persecuted.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: outwardly and conflicted inwardly is enough to make you quit.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: And still he finished the course with a God who
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: said no to his own prayer.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, y'all don't want to talk to me.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: What do you do when you're better on the outside than.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: You are on the inside? I can get rid of
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: your thorn, but I got a bear.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, this is so good.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get my own CD. I'm going to
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: get this.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing how good you can be at fixing
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: other people's lives? You know exactly what they ought to do.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Even Jesus struggled with finishing. He goes to the Garden
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: of Gethsemane and says, I don't know. I don't know. Daddy,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: this is tougher than I thought. He labored in prayer
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to sweat like blood, blood like sweat poured through his skin.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Saying, can I get out of this? Can I? Get
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: out of this. Can I get on a horse and
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: ride away?
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Can I take a camel and ride away from a cross?
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Jesus says, Daddy, can I quit? I've never seen the
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: part of this house so quiet.
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: Three times he prayed, help me to finish. Is there
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: a way that I can get out of being me?
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: Is there anybody in here who has ever prayed, Lord,
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: is there a way I can get out of being me?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Being me. is not going so good.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Being me is not what it's cracked up to be. Daddy,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: can I quit? And finally he says, not my will.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: That's where it is. That's the whole thing. Not my
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: will means not my way. Not my preferences. Not my pleasure.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Not my style. Not what I wanted. Not what I liked.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: But thine.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Be done. I've got to stop.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I hate to stop right there, but I've got to
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: do it again. I want you to hold on to
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: that word because I believe that is a relevant word.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Defying the urge to quit is what it's all about.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: It's not always about how many steps you gain forward.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Sometimes just resisting the temptation to cave in is victory.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Defy that urge and watch God move supernaturally in your life.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: And to all my sisters, where are my sisters at?
• 23:27

  Speaker 1: fought with haters, liars, backbiters, and betrayers. And many times
• 25:35
