  Speaker 1: You must understand that life has a way.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Of taking you through perilous times, transitions and traumas, adversities, crisis,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: good days and bad days. I don't care how clean
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: you live and how righteous you are, You're going to
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: have trouble. Sometimes life has a way of being its
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: own school master. Over a period of years, without any
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: college classes, courses, books or tapes, life will teach you something.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Can remember being around the old folks, and some of
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: them hadn't gone past the fifth grade or the sixth grade.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: They spoke broken English and didn't know a verb from
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: an adverb or an adjective. But they had a hidden wisdom.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Because after you lived a long time your wife up
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: a little bit. Just by virtue of staying here on
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the planet, of surviving good days and bad days, of
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: seeing the sequence of life, you soon learn that life
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: has its own pattern and it has its own rhythm.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: If you are a connoisseur of life, you observe all things,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: you learn from all people, You learn from all life's events,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and after a while you start drawing conclusions. When you
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: start drawing conclusions, you draw them not for the benefit
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: of judging other people, but you draw conclusions in the
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: hopes that you might begin to understand what.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Life is all about.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I will never forget going to the Jackson State Hospital
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: when my father was terminally ill the final moments of
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: his life, Jackson, Mississippi. He was down there being tested,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: had gone through all types of kidney problems and renal failure,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and heart had weakened and body had just gotten worn.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: And I walked in the hospital room to see him,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and he said to me, he said, Son, by the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: time I figured out what life was all about, it
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: was time to go. Shortly after that, he died, And
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: those words haunted me the rest of my life, because
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I walked out of that room saying to myself, I've
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: got to figure it out quicker than he did. I
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: can't spend my whole life trying to figure out what
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: it's all about and then finally understanding and die. I've
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: got to understand the pattern and the methodology of what
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: life is all about. And so I began to draw
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: up some things on paper, and different things that I explored,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and different things that I tried in life and sining
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and debaucher. And I said, I tried that, but that
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: wasn't it. Now I dabbled in this, but this wasn't it.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I smoked a cigarette, but that wasn't it. A got
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: some liquor, but that wasn't that. I slept with somebody
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: that that wasn't it. I got a little money, but
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: that wasn't in A start marking things down, trying to
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: understand what is it all of the time.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I don't mind telling you I tried.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: A whole lot of things before I start drawing any conclusions.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: A lot of people like to act like they've never
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: done anything. I've never tried anything, but I searched through
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: a whole lot of things before I got to Jesus.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not talking about church. I've been in church all
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: my life. I'm talking about Jesus. There is a distinct
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: difference between knowing church and knowing Jesus.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Finally, you begin.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: To understand I've got to get down to the conclusion
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: of the whole line.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I've got to understand what is going on, and I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: begin to.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Understand that life operates in cycles. It operates in cycles
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and stages and seasons. It goes full circles. There are seas,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: quinces of defense, and it depends on what cycle of
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: life you're in what you're able to do, and if
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you don't understand cycles, you'll miss your blessing. You only
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: have a certain time period to do anything, and you have.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: To do it in time.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: That's why the Bible warns us the day you hear
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: my voice heard, and not your heart. You don't have
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: time to spend years contemplating your next move, because you
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: are only able to do it in a certain season,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: in a certain time frame. Well, let me give you
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: my blessed is the man that walk of not in
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the council of the ungovernment, nor standeth in the way
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: of sinners, nor sitteth in the sea that it's going for.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: But his delight is in the law of the Lord.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: And in that law does he meditate.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Day and night. And he shall be like a tree.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Planted by the rivers of waters that bring it forth fruit,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: not whenever he gets ready to, but he bringing forth
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: fruit in his own season. You've got to catch the cycle.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: You've got to do it in season. You can't can't
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: do it in the winter of your life. You can't
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: do it in the autumn of your life. You've got
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to know when it's time for you to do it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: And you've got to flow with that cycle because if
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: you miss that turn, life has to go all the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: way around again before you get an opportunity to be
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: that effective again. If you ever understand that, it will
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: cost you to change how you deal with people, because
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: people and what they say will cost you to miss
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: your season.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And if you understand that, you have to wait.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: You can't just do guts work, guts will guts Gut's
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: power men any time.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: You want to, you have to do it in season.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: And if you're fool with people, you'll miss your season
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and get stuck in a holding pattern and you may
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: have to wait five years, six years, seven years, ten
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: years before you get the auction to get that kind
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of release again. Tell somebody to tell them it's my turn.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: That means, when I recognize it's my time to get
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: a breakthrough, excuse me for being.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Radical, I might do.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I might even do like the woman with this your
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: blood and start crawling through the crowd. I might scream
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: black blind, barty Mass. I might do something radical because
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I don't want to go through.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: This cycle again.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Most people have got a miracle in the Bible that
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: got it because they move quickly all over through the
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Bible says, make way immediately, straight way, seending me you
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: have to move right there. One man sat by the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: pool thirty eight years because he kept.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Missing the cycle. The Bible says that a.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Certain season the angels came down and troubled the water,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: but he was too slow to step into the water, and.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: He had to wait full cycle.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Before that annointer came to do that again. To even
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: some of you are frustrated right now, is that every
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: time God gets ready to bless you, the enemy says
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: something in your way to cost you to miss your turf.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: And now you gotta go fall.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: The reason some of us are so radical, and I
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: know we get on your nurse, We shout too loud,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: we dance too hard, we stand up and you can't
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: see around us. And you're trying to look really important
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: because you got a few members in your church, and
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: we keep jumping all over top of you. But it's
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: because we don't want to miss our sychic when it's
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: our time to.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Be Blesshe me to.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Touch your neighbor and tell me you might better move
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: out from beside me tonight, because I can tell your
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: image is important to you. You might better move from
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: around me because this is my moment. That the galaxies
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: operate through cycles, the heavenness operate through cycles, the seasons
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: operate through cycles. Mating operates through cycles, the human body
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: operates through cycles. There are cycles in the spiritual realm,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: cycles of blessings and cycles of pain. And anytime you're
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: going to alter destiny, you've got to break that cycle.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: If you're in a state of blessings. The reason the
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: enemy wants to tempt you with sin is because he
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: wants you to do something to break the cycle of
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: blessings in your life.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Have you ever got in a.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Cycle of blessings and just everything you touched, God blessed it.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Everything it did, God blessed it. Everywhere you went, God
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: bless it. Everything you applied for, God blessed it. Everything
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: you said I wanted, God bless it. And the enemy
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: hates for you to get in a cycle of blessing.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: He'll say to anybody.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Any word, any discouragement, any fear, any frustration to break
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: your single of blessing. He wants you to come outside
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: and play. He wants you to have a temper tantrump.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: He wants you to become a hysterical because he wants
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to break the cycle of blessings.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: In your life. But that devil is a liar, that
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: devil is a life.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Look at Genesis one and eleven for just a moment.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I'm going to show you a couple of passages the scripture,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: and i'll be out of your way,
