• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the house. We're so glad you joined us today.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Choosing to tune in to dis serment was not by accident.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: And I believe God has a word.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Just for you.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: God is always using the people of this house to
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: speak his word. So, whether you're watching from across the
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: street or maybe you are across the world, if you
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: are not just a viewer, you are our family.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: And we believe that worship doesn't have walls, and experiencing
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the goodness of God's spirit doesn't always require a commute.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: So are you ready to join us as we fellowship
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: and unite in spirit and in truth. I want your
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: hearts to be open because we are going to encounter
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: God together.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Heymen, we see you, we love you, and we believe
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: this word is going to change your life.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Jump up to your feet. We're going to the Word
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: of God, the Gospel of Saint John, chapter twenty, verse
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: twenty five to twenty eight. There you will find my
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: assignment for this morning. The Texas brief and simple, but
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the message behind it is profound and prolific. It comes
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: at a moment in history that Jesus has gone to
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the cross. Jerusalem is in total chaos and confusion. The
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Romans are trying to manage it. The Temple is trying
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to diminish it. The Disciples are trying to dodge it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Because their leader is gone, or so they thought, a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: lot of things that look gone on Friday resurrect on
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Sunday morning. The devil will try to talk to you
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: into thinking it's over. And this is somebody that the enemy,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: in some area of your life has convinced you that
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: it's over. But it's not over. Just because it's hard
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean it's not over. Just because it's difficult doesn't
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: mean it's not over. One of the disciples in particular,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: had a hard time with it, and I'm going to
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: focus on him today. The other disciples therefore said, unto him,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: we have seen the Lord. But he said, unto them,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: except I shall see in his hands the print of
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: the nails, and put my finger into the print of
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the nails, and thrust my hand into a side. I
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: will not believe repeat those last words. I will not believe.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: That is a strong statement coming from a person who
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: has given their life over to the Lord. Fully, I
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: don't mean just gotten a conversion core card and going
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: on about their life. These people dropped their jobs, walked
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: away from their families, did everything to walk with Jesus.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I'm going to explain a little bit why their dedication
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: was so intense and so powerful, and what their expectation was,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: because sometimes we expect one thing from God and God
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: does something else. God didn't always answer in the way
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: that you think he should answer, and at least you
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: with questions in your mind. If I'm talking to you,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: say man, and after eight days again, his notice, how
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: many days there was somebody say eight days? After eight
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: days again, his disciples were within, and Thomas with them.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: He wasn't with them before, he wasn't with him. Then
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: came Jesus, the door being shut, and stood in the
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: midst and said, peace, be unto you. Then said he
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: to Thomas, reach hither thy finger and behold my hands.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: And reach hither thy hand and thrust it into my side.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: And be not faithless, Be not faithless, but believing. And
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Thomas answered and said, unto him, my Lord and my God,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: this is restoration at his finest. Remained standing for a moment.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I want to pray with you. But my subject this morning,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: it's the pain of believing. The pain of believing. We
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: know about the power of believing, but nobody prepares you
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: for the the pain, the difficulty, the struggle, the pain
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of believing, the misunderstanding that comes. The pastor Torre has
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: talked to you a little bit about believing, and he's
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: going on to talk to you about knowing. But I
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: want to digress for a moment and talk just a
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: moment about the pain of believing. Because while others rush
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: in to believing and go on to knowing, there are
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: stragglers that are left behind because of how much it
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: costs them to believe in the midst of the pain
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: that they went through. And it is easy to judge
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: other people for their pain when you haven't gone through
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: what they've gone through. It's easy to quote scriptures and
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: tell them what they ought to do and how they
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: ought to handle it. Until it's your child laying in
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: a cast cout up punt, until it's until your house
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: has been foreclosed on, until you've been snatched out of
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a car, you should kind of be quiet sometime. Yeah,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: And when you see me crying, just hand me a handkerchief.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe you don't have a word for me, just hand
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: me a handkerchief and keep your mouth shut, because I
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: may be going through the pain of believing. Father God,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus, I stretched my hands, my heart,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: my spirit, told my bones, my toes, my core, puckles,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: my blood, my hemoglobe, and every thing that I have
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I yielded over to you. Come into this place and
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: be made manifest and show the devil who's boss. Throw
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: your weight around this room. Reach into somebody's chest and
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: do surgery. Reach into somebody's heart and give relief. Reach
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: into somebody's mind and fix their mind in such a
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: way that they can go from faith to faith and
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: from glory to glory. And we're not afraid to give
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you the praise in advance. We're not afraid to thank
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: you for it at advance. We believe you're going to
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: have your way. Great God, that you are have your
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: way in this place. In the name of Jesus. Somebody
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: with the boys that you use when you hollering at
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: your kids, shout a man, you may be seated. God,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: bless your children. Jesus. I was gonna make a banana pudding,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: but because Pastor Torrey put us un a fast, he
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: didn't say how long it would be yeah, Yeah, I'm
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: teasing you. I'm teasing you. Yeah, just a couple of days,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: come back in a couple of days. I looked at
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: doctor Jill and started laughing. Thought about all the times
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: we've been sitting down there fellowship and around the table,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: eating peach cobbler and banana pudding and all that. But
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: that's the past forgetting those things which are behind us,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: and reaching to those things which are before. We pressed
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: for the mark of the prize of the high calling
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: of God in Christ. You I ain't bother nobody this morning.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: There's an argument to be made about Thomas. It is
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: only in the last few centuries that he has been
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: nicknamed doubting Thomas. The early Church did not trivialize his
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: experience down to a nickname. There was a spirit of
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Thomas that we need to contextualize in the text, and
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: we can only do that if we understand the times.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: The times that they were living in were times that
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: are almost mirrored to the times we are living in today.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: They are controlled by a sovereign nation that has come
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: into their country and taken complete control. They are at home,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: but they're not at home. The Romans rule with an
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: iron hand, they were a sovereign kingdom, generally taking over
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: by dominance, taking whatever they wanted, doing whatever they wanted
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: to do. They weren't the first ones by any stretch
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: of the imagination the way of the world. If you
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: study the way of the world, only the strong survives,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: and people will take a moment of a vulnerability or
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: moment of weakness not only to attack you, but to
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: take over your whole country. If you're not careful, you
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: were just one step away. Because country survive off of
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: ideas like democracy. It's just an idea, it's just a thought.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: And if you don't support it, and you get a
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: rise up of people who think their voice is doesn't matter,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: and their vote doesn't matter, and their counsel doesn't matter,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: nobody says anything about it, it is easy to take over.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: If you read about World War One, you read about
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: what Hitler did, you see how he gradually, in stages,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: took them deeper and deeper till they ended up in oswitch.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: And I know it's hard for you to imagine, but
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: it's not as hard as it used to be. As
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: we turn on our TV sets and we see people
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: snatched out of cars and woke up at four o'clock
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: in the morning and neked babies and pregnant women drug
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: out of cars. It's not easy. It doesn't take long
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: for power to get out of control. And besides, in
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: order for Rome to be the empower that it was,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: it became an empower and not just a great country
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: by its ability to come in and take over other
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: geographical areas. And the more areas they took over, the
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: stronger they became, the more taxes they took in, the
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: more money they made, the more influence they had, the
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: more they were revered. But once they took over those countries,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: they had to manage those countries to make sure that
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: those countries were submissive to their will. The same thing
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: happened with Senegal. Senagal has been systematically closing French military
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: sites and plans to complete the withdrawal of all French
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: forces by the late twenty twenty five. That's happening right now.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: You don't feel it because it's not having any in
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: your house. You don't feel things that are going on
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: in other cities until it happens to you, Until they
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: drag your daughter out of the car pregnant. You will
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: keep on singing and clapping and going about your business
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: and be totally blind to the turmoil that goes on
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: when one person, or one group, or one class, or
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: one creed of people any kind take over another person.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: The other persons become subjective to their own malicious will
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: and purpose. They become submissive is a better word, to
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: their own will and purpose of the perpetrator who is
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: set out to destroy them. And you don't feel it
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: until it's you. And it's not just the abuse. Alan
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: It is the feeling of being home and not at home.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: It is the feeling of laying in your bed and
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: wondering will you make it through the night. It is
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the feeling of now. When I grabbed my wallet, I
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: grabbed my passport. Yeah, I don't go too far without
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: it anymore. I just keep it with me, just in
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: case some lone ranger, some overdoor, some perpetrator, some obsessive
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: person comes along and tries to make a lesson out
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: of me. I know that I am not an illegal immigrant.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I know that I'm not a murderer. I know that
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not a killing But I don't know what you
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: think of me. And so for fear of what you think,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: of me. I have to walk with a certain kind
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: of fear that I didn't have to walk into five
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: years ago. Senacol has completely disrupted. French Nager has also
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: disrupted Trance Francis military presidence has ended. Their diplomatic ties
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: were reduced with French forces departing the country. The French
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: people were marching in the streets just a couple of
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: months ago because they were losing power over all of
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: the colonies that they had made in Africa and elsewhere.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Or you follow what I'm saying. America was originally meant
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: to be under the rule of Greatness and under the
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: control of the UK. That's why we celebrated July the force.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: That's the moment that we declared our independence, and they're
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: getting ready to celebrate two hundred and fifty years of
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: separating ourselves from them controlling us. Or we would have
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: been subjugated and controlled by the ethics of Parliament in
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: the UK and still had to function and still had
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: to deal with it, but we would have had to
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: deal with it as second class citizens. And then some
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: about being a second class citizen. People have a way
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: of making you know that you're second class. They treat
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: you with an air of second class. There's a certain way,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: a little side eyed way that they look at you.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: The power power corrupts, but total power totally corrupts. And
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: if you can tell that power when it gets out
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: of control, will be little you and demean you. And
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: it's not just one group of people, it's anybody that
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: gets too much control over you. You got to be careful
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: about who you let have control over you. You got
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: to be careful about who you married. You're not going
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: to talk to me. You got to be careful about
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: where you go to work. You can be subjugated to
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: submissiveness in your own house, and little by little they're
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: telling you what to wear and don't wear those shoes
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: with that, don't do this, and don't go over there,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: and don't take the car, and little by little power
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: tunny road until you have no control or say so
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: over yourself. And you have to do a revolution in
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: your own living room to get back control of what
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: you eat and where you drive and where you live.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: You understand what I'm saying. I want you to see
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: the spirit of the times that they lived in. I
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: want you to understand that they were besieged by the
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Roman empower, and not just Jerusalem, but all across the world.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Rome had stretched out its arms and was controlling more
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: and more geographical locations, and the whole city, and the
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: whole nation of Israel, and the city of Jerusalem was besieged.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: They had leaders that were not like them, that didn't
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: share their background, that didn't share the things that they
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: thought about. They had language issues, they had cruel beatings
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: and muggings and horrible things happening to them, and they
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: had to become used to had to become used to abuse.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I know all of you tell me what you would
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: do if you were born in the enslavery time, and
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: what you would do. I hear all the stuff you said.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: But if you see enough people hanging from trees, and
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: enough people be headed, and enough people beaten to death,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: you're not quite as bad as you think you are.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: You're not quite as tough as you think you are.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Ask any woman in here that's been a victim of
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: domestic violence. Sometimes it's not as easy to get away
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: from power out of control. As the neighbor's next door said,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: if that was me, I would do such and such
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: a thing. But she has to consider her kids, her livelihood,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: her future, where she's gonna move, where she's gonna live.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Power can be a dangerous thing. It can be a
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: disruptive thing. It can be a painful thing. That's why
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I'm glad I'm not a child anymore. I didn't like
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: being a child because you don't have much control. As
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: a child, I had to eat what they ordered, I
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: had to wear what they laid out, I had to
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: do what they said. When I grew up, I was
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: so glad to be able to dress myself. I dressed
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: myself this morning. I put on what I like, I
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: wear what I like to wear. I go where I
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: want to go. I do what I want to do
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: and much. I didn't have a bad childhood, but I
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: don't want to go back to it. I enjoy the
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: freedom of being able to make my own choices. How
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: many people in here enjoy the freedom of making your
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: own choices. I don't care what you got on, blue
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: jeans and a T shirt or rag around your head.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I don't care what you got on. What you put on,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: what you wanted to wear, and you did it. There
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: was nobody controlling you, telling you what to do and
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: where to sit and where to go. And when to
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: leave and how to move. It's important if you're going
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: to have dignity to have a degree of control. If
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: you're going to have self esteem, you have to have
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: a degree of control. I don't want control of the world,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: but over my decisions and my choice choices in my house.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: You don't get to come in and paint my house
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: because you don't like the color of my living room.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I painted in that color. I don't care if I've
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: made it strife, but it's my living room. If I
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: can live there, you can visit there. Keep your mouth
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: out of my business. Come on, talk to me, somebody.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Keep your mouth. Keep your mouth, your mouth m o
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: ut out of my business. You paint your house with
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: polka dots, and I won't say nothing about it. I
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: might not stay long, but I won't say nothing about it.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: But that was not the circumstance for the Jews, That
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: was not the circumstance for Jerusalem. That was under circumstance
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: for issues. So when John the Baptist came along and
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: say repent for the Kingdom of Heaven, that is at hand,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: first thing to come across their mind was liberation from
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: the abuse and the turmoil that they were under. The
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: first thing to come to their mind was being free
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: from Caesar and his control and his dominance. The first
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: thing that came to their mind. The dominance had become
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: so strong that he had even infiltrated their religion. That's
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: why the temple is called Herod's temple. And Herod wasn't
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: even fully a Jew, and yet he has taken over
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: the temple, and he's taken taxes and making money from
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: the church people to support taxes in the government. And
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: that's why Jesus kicked over the tables. It was not
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: because they were frying chicken and selling chocolate bars at
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: the door. It was because the government had come in
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: and taken control over their religious freedom and their faith.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Power gradually eats you up like cancer. It don't start
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: with vic stuff. It starts with It starts with little things.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Where you're going, what time you're going to be back.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: I thought you'd be back at nine o'clock. It's nine fifteen.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Tell me where you've been. I don't like your hair
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: cut like that. Little by little it just escalates. It
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: don't start out with physical abuse and punching you in
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: the mouth. It starts out with shoving you just a
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: little bit. It starts out with insults and verbal attacks,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: and little by little, I want to give you some
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: signs this morning so that you can begin understand when
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: you're being besieged, when you're being attacked, when you're being overridden.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: So when John the Baptist came along, it was important
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: because John the bout this was one of the few
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: remnants left of their faith. They had already lost their
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: kings and they were about to lose the lineage of
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: their priesthood. And when Elizabeth God used an old woman
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: to have a baby because he thought it was so
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: important that they have a lineage to continue that when
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: he was born, it had been a whole lot to them.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Can I take my time this morning, because they were
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: trying to hold on to their preach toood. But the
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: problem was he was not like his father. Okay, and
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: we're living in a time that we cannot just be
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: like our fathers. We can't just have a Zachariah annointing.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: That's why the Bible his name should be called John,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: because none of his candred have been called by that name.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: To the young people, I want you to hear me
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: for a minute. Well, all the Sunday I got. Something
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: came over me so strong I almost interrupted the service.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have to do more than we did. You're
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: gonna have to withstand more than we would stand. The
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: situation is different, the times are different, the demons are different,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: the level of attack is different, the financial components are different,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: the economics are different, the emotions are different. You weren't
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: shaped out of the same play we were shaped out of.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: You have a different claim. You have certain comforts that
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: you're accustomed to, and you're not used to being up
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: under attack, and therefore you are emotionally fragile in ways
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: that we grew up in turmoil and pain, and so
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: you have to have a little different approach. You're gonna
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: have to fight things that we didn't have to fight.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Some of the things that you were fighting are things
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: that weren't even talked about when we came along, and
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: you have to fight that. Fighting older folks, you got
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: to be a little bit tender with them and a
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: little bit more understanding because they didn't come up with
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: washboards and cloths, lines, They didn't come up with without
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: houses and circumstances that we grew up that we called normal.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: They don't know how to make corn bread without Jiffy.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: They don't know. They don't know how to freeze ring beans.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: They don't know how to can corn. They don't know.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: They don't know how to make jelly out of skins
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: of apples. Talk to me, somebody, You know I'm telling
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: the truth. The times you're living in affects how you talk,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: rest and how you move and how you deliver. So
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: when John the Baptist came along as say, repent the
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: kingdom of Heaven is at hand, they're thinking about an
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: earthly kingdom. They're wanting to crown Jesus as king. They're
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: wanting to see Jesus rule. They want to see Jesus
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: overthrow thean, the siege, and the Roman power and the
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Roman hypocrasy that has taken over their land. Because they
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: You must understand that these are people who walk forty
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: years to get to their land, only to get in
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: their land and not be free in their own land.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: I might not be free in the grocery store, I
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: might not be free of the gas station. I might
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: not be free of the school, but I be dug
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: one if I'm not going to be free in my
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: own house, and they had learned, come on, somebody, when
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I go into my yard and close that gate, it
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: ain't none of your business. I get to be who
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: I want to be. That's why I make the patments
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: every month, so that I could rent free somewhere. But
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: they weren't safe anywhere. They were snatched out of their houses.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Doesn't sound familiar. They were abused in the street. And
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I hate to shock you like this, but Jesus was
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: not nearly the first person to be crucified. Crucifixions were
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: as common as hangings were during slavery. And then Nina Simone,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I believe it was done strange fruit how you could
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: walk down the forest anywhere and see bodies hanging under
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: the abuse of slavery in the same way you could
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: see crosses anywhere. And they meant for it to bring
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: you to an open shame, because terrorists always go not
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: by the attack, but by the terror that it costs.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: It gives you control, It makes you submit, It makes
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: you hush your mouth, It reminds you that I have
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: control over your life. Those were the times that they
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: were living in up against those obstacles, and when John
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: the Bautist said repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: at hand. I don't blame him. I would have jumped
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: into Jordan. I would have swam into Jordan if you
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: told me that all you had to do is dump me,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: and the kingdom was at hand, and I was gonna
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: get control of the land my father's march forty years
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: for I would be baptized right now, bide in any name,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: baptized in any circumstance. I would go through anything just
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: to be free. John. The Baptists had a full congregation
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: because they were looking for liberation. God is always on
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the side of the old pressed. Talk to me, somebody.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: God is always on the side of the old pressed.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: He's always on the one that's down trodden. He walks
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: past the person that's well to lay hands on the
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: person that's sick. God is always for the one that's oppressed.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: God is on your side because of the oppression and
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: the inequities of power that exist in your life and
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: your house, and your community and your marriage. God is
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: always on the side of the oppressed. Now, if you've
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: never been oppressed, that don't mean nothing to you. But
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: if you've had to live in a situation of oppression,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: you are to shout me down right now. The disciples
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: had given up everything to go with Jesus. Thomas was
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: not weak, he was very powerful. When Jesus made up
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: his mind to go to Jerusalem, there was a plot
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: that had been set off to kill him, and Thomas
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: was the one who said we must go and die
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: with him. That doesn't sound like a doubter if you're
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: willing to die for a cause. But sometimes people will
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: forget all the good things you said and hold on
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: to the bad thing that you said and define you
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: by a weak moment. But the truth of the matter,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Thomas was courageous, He was strong, He was powfer. The
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: very fact that Thomas was not in the upper room
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: with the other disciples because they were hiding for fear
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: of the Jews, and Thomas was walking up and down
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: the street tells you he's a bad negro. Anytime you
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: can walk down y'all ain't gonna talk to me. Anytime
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: you can walk down the street where other people are
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: fred to go, you gotta be some kind of bad.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: There's some bad folks in here that will go someplace
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: that other people wouldn't go, and you'll go because you
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: got the courage to do whatever you gotta do to
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: get wherever you gotta go. There's some bad sisters in
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: this room. Don't let the hair fool you. They will
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: pull that hair down, take that wig off, pull their
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: nails off, yank them eyelashes, and fights you like a
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: dog in the street. See, they don't have nothing to
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: do with size. It's not the size of the dog
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: in the fight. It's the size of the fight and
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: the dog. Oh, hollylujah. Thomas was a strong fighter. He
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: was a liberator, He was an emancipator. He was a
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: deliberate those that were bound, and he said, I'm not
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: going to stay locked up like a dog in a cage.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I'm going to and fro as I will. So when
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Jesus came there, and they were shocked because Thomas was
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: not there. The others were hiding, but Thomas was going
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: on about his business and he was not there. What
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: I like about the text, what I like about the tech,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: is that Jesus came back eight days later. Somebody say,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: eight days later, you're eight days away from a new virginning.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: You're eight days away from a mighty's dain, You're eight
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: days away from a resurrection. You're eight days away from
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: a phone call, You're eight days away from an email,
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: You're eight days away from a complete resurrection. Your situation
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: is eight days away. That's why the demo's trying to
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: kill you while you're in the way. But the devil
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: is a liar. Eight is the number of new beginnings
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: in the Bible. Whenever you see eight, it symbolized a
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: new beginning. When you see seven, you come down to
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: the end. But when you see eight, it's gonna start
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: all over again. I don't know who I'm talking to.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know who I'm talking to, but I feel
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: an eighth day spirit in this play. I feel an
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: eighth day spirit in this place. I feel an eight
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: day spirit in this place. Somebody's about to get a turnaround.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: The Bible said that Thomas came along on the eighth day.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: He comes back in the room. You must understand, y'all,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: sit down, because you're gonna make me. You're gonna make me.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: You gonna make me, you gonna make me. You won't
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: make me. You don't make me. You gonna make me.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Floot somebody and say eight days your whole life can
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: turn around in eight days. Your circumstance can change in
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: eight days. Your breakthrough can happen in the eighth days.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Your deliverance can happen in an eight day. Don't kill
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: yourself till you have your eighth day. God can fix
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: it in eight days. God can fix it and make
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: it new all over again in eight days. And that
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: I the said that when it was eight days, the
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: way Thomas comes back in the room. Might I remind
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: you that the Bible teachers, according to the vitical law,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: that children male children weren't support to be circumcised till
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: the eighth day. On the eighth day, God cuts away
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: the flesh. On the eighth day, God takes away what
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: is not needed. On the eighth day, God brings about
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: a mighty delivering. Eight is the number new beginning. So
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Thomas waited till it was the hate day. And the
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Bible says the Bible, the Bible, the Bible. The Bible says,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: the Bible says the Bible, the Bible, the Bible. The
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Bible says the Bible, the Bible. The Bible says, the Bible.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: The Bible says. The Bible says on the eighth day,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: he comes walking in the room, nobody, drugging nobody, snatching nobody,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: handcuffing nobody, changing. He was walking in freedom while they
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: were walking in bondage. Fear makes you being bondish, but
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: faith will liberate you. Faith will cause you to walk
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: around like ain't nothing hottening when there is something hottening.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: And he walked in the room on the eighth day,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: and he in the room. But that is not what
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: e'x taighting me. What really he takes me about the
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: deech is that Jesus came back for an audience of one.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Now I understand what he meant about the prodigal son
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: and leaving the ninety nine and going after the one,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: and the widow who swept the house looking for one
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: coin even though she had nine. Now I understand while
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: the father ran off the front porch to meet his
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: one son. God cares about you as an individual. He
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: cares about you. He knows your name, he knows your background,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: he knows your circumstance. The hairs on your head are numbered,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: not counted numbered. Their number. He got a number. If
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: it gets caught in a comb, he knows that's hair
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: number five one hundred and forty eight and ninety two.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: God took cares about you. If his eye is on
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: the sparrow, then he watches over you. How dare you
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: sit there and think that you are forsaken, forgotten, rejected,
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: and cast aside the devil leditor that God knows exactly
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: where you are. If you make your bed in hell,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: God is there. If you take the wings of the
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: morning and sell to the old God. I feel like
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: she said, I got to watch the self and sell
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: to the outermost parts of the earth. God is still there.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: The church calls, doubting Thomas that but Heaven knew him
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: as disappointed Thomas. Thomas was disappointed. The key he had
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: to watch his king die to be said this way,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: he had to watch his dream die. You do realize
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: that Jesus was the first one to die on the
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: cross in that setting. All the other men that were
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: crucified that day, when they came to check them, they
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: were already dead. But when they came to Jesus, I mean,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: when they came to check him, they were still alive.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: When it came to Jesus, he was already dead. That's
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: why they didn't break his legs, or at least that's
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: why they thought they didn't break his legs. The truth
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: of the matter is they didn't break his legs because
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Leviticus had said that in order for him to be
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: a lamb, not one bone in his body would be broken.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Good God Almighty. So when they came to Jesus, Jesus
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: died first, so no bones could be broken. If the
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: bones had been broken, it would nullify his right to
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: be the lamb of God. But he presented himself holy
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: and spotless before his father. I feel a preaching annoying
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: and coming in this place. I feel the spirit of
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: the Living God coming in this place. And he stayed there,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: and they found him dead. He was the first one dead,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: and Thomas and the disciples had to watch him die.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: They took him down off the cross and put him
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: in a tomb. The Nicodemus help to bring about. It
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: was a burrowed tone. You don't borrow nothing that you're
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: not gonna give back. It was a burrowed tomb. And
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: they put him in the tomb, and they thought it
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: was over. They had to take his rigor mortis ridden
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: body down off the cross and take his stiff hands,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: and Faun pushed them down on the side. They had
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: to push his left hand down on the side. They
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: had to put his legs together and wrap him in
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: one inch strips, as through us the custom of the time,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: to rap him til he looked like a mummy. They
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: knew he was dead. He couldn't move, he couldn't walk.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Blood and water came out of his body, which means
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: that his body's blood had separated because it had been
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: up there so long that the clear part of his
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: blood had separated from the red corpuscles in his blood.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: They knew he was dead because he lost all heat
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: in his body. All the temperature was gone out of
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: his body. He was fragmented, he was broken, and most
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: of all, he was silent. Had he spoken, the angels
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: would have come and delivered him and brought back the
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: kingdom and ushered in the millennium to Zoon. Had he spoken,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: the warring angels were stronger than the Roman empower. They
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: were greater than Caesar. They were greater than Rome, they
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: were greater than Herod, they were greater than Herod the Great.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: They were greater than anything. But he was gone, and
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: his words were gone. Peter said, in your hands are
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: the words of eternal life. And they saw blood come
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: out of those hands, and they saw blood come out
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: of his side. And they saw the nail that was
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: in one nail in two feet, representing the jew and
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: the Gentile coming together fronder one gospel. And they nailed
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: them with one nail, and they had to pull that
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: nail out. They felt the thud of the nail coming
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: out of his feet, in between his foot joints, it
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: came out. They knew he was dead because they prepared
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: his body for burial. And Thomas had every right to
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: doubt the rumor that Jesus was still alive. Some people
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: said that they stolen his body. Some people said that
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: they had robbed the grave. It was not untommon to
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: rob the grave in the days of Jesus. They thought
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: that he had robbed the grave. And so when Thomas
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: comes in on the eighth day and they tell him
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: he's alive, he's alive. I know that, Thomas. I don't
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: want to hear that. I don't want to hear that.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: That's what got me in trouble. Believe me, that's what
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: broke my heart. That's what upset me. That's what caused
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: me to quit my job. That's what caused me to
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: be away from my children. It hurts to believe. It
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: hurts to believe once you've been disappointed. It hurts to
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: believe once your heart has been broken. It hurts to believe,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: once you've been tied down. It hurts to believe. Once
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: you see somebody you put all your trust in, nail
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: to a tree. It hurts to believe. He said, I
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: don't want to hear your message because I don't want
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: to go through the disappointment of another loss in my life.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: And he said, I will not believe. The same one
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: who said I will die with him turns around now
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: and says, I will not believe because believing hurts. Believing
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: hurts when you are disappointed. Somebody in here knows what
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: it is like to believe in somebody and they disappoint
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: you so bad that your heart is broken. Somebody in
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: here knows what it's like to cry yourself to sleep.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Somebody in here knows what it's like for your dreams
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: to be dashed against the rock. Somebody in here knows
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: what it's like to go through hell and high water,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: go to work and smile and go home and cry
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: and get in the car and let tears run. And
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: somebody in here understand what it's like to deal with disappointment.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: You thought it was gonna happen, and it didn't happen.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: You pops, you'd be there by now, and it didn't happen.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: You thought you could count on them, and it didn't happen.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: You topped everything would be all right, and it didn't happen.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: And in other words, he was saying, like the old
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: song they sung in my day, now that I've cried
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: my love to sleep, don't wake it up. I don't
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: want to believe anymore. It reminds me of the shun
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: of myite woman when elied to told her that she
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: was going to have a baby, and he said, she said,
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: don't play with me. Don't play with me, don't play
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: with me. It hurts too much to believe. And now
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: that I've finally gotten used to the fact that I'm
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: gonna have to go through the rest of my life alone,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: don't you come along and give me a promise. But
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: God has a way of giving you a promise, even
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: after all hell has broken loose. I got a message
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: for somebody in the room today. God has a way
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: of resurrecting your faith even though it hurts. God has
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: a way of restoring your mind and your heart. Even
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: when you're backed up in a corner, has shoved.
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: To the wall.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: God has a way of making you take it back.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: You see.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Thomas's name is also called Didimus in the Greek diitendness
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: means twin. One part of him wants to quit, the
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: other part of him keeps coming back again. One part
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: of him says, I'm too with it. The other part
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: of him keeps reaching back again. It feels like he
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: skits the frending because on one hand he left the room,
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: on the other hand, he came back to the room.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Because all of us got a twin, and one twin
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: wants to go one way and the other twin wants
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: to go the other way. Paul said it this way.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: When I would do good, evil is present with me.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: That which I would do I do, not that which
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: I not do. I do, old wretched man that I am,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: who shall save me not from demons, not from devils,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: not from witches, but save me from my twins. I
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: got a twin I gotta control. Is there anybody else
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: in here that got a twin, You gotta control My
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: twin don't want to go to church. My twin don't
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: want to live right. My twin wants to cuss you out.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: My twin will bust you in your mouth. My twin
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: will drive the car right through your living room. My
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: twin will.
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: I have to pool like you.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Ain't never seen. And I have to watch my twin
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: because if I'm now care. We look alike, we wear
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: the same pole, we dress alike, we even walk alike.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: But I got a twin that will freak out in here.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: I got a twin that will go slap off in here,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: And if I don't keep him in his cage, he'll
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: get loose, and you'll see somebody you had never met
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: before you met Bishop Jake. But my twin is not
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Bishop ject. Is there anybody else in here that's been
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: dealing with your twin struggling with it. One day I'm in,
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: one day I'm out. One day I'm okayed, one day
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: I'm not opaid. One day I can take it, one
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: day I can't stand it. Is there anybody in here
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: that's had your twin wait till you got in the
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: bed and be waiting for you. And there you are
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: crying in the bed. There you are frustrated into the bed.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Thomas had a right to be disturbed, because it is
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: painful to believed. He didn't want to go through that again.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: He didn't want to have his host dashed against the rocks.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: He loves Jesus. He absolutely adored Jesus. He had given
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: up everything to follow Jesus. He thought Jesus was going
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: to be the answer to Jerusalem's problem. He thought Jesus
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: was going to be the liberator that set them free
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: from their oppressive He was going to sign the Emancipation Proclamation.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: He was going to be the hariet tuntman of their situation.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: He was going to bring them out of trouble. Judas
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: was so disappointed that he hung himself because in his
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: own mind, according to the Book of Jesus, which is
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: not a canonical book of the Bible, Judas thought, yeah, baby,
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. Judas thought. Judas thought that if he
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: forced Jesus' hand, that Jesus would force himself out and
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: show them who he really was. But instead of calling
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: ten thousand angels, he never said a mumbling word, And
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: when Judas saw him crucified. He went out to the
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: product field and hung himself. He couldn't take it because
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: it's planned backpart. Watch out for your plan, watch out
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: for your schem, watch out for your trick. Several will
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: tell you that your plans will go awrise. Don't get
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: a hag out to have your baby, though it hurts,
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: have your own baby. So you've grown to have your
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: own baby. There's some people that here that regret them
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: as stake you made because you had a plot, and
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: you had a plan and it went wrong, and it
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: went wrong and you suffered. You lean not to dine
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: own understanding. But trust in the Lord. I don't know
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: who I'm talking to, but you gotta trust God when
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: you can't trace him. You gotta trust God when you
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: can't see him. You gotta trust God when it looks
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: like he's not working. You gotta trust God when it
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: looks like you're losing. You gotta trust God when it
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: looks like you're going backwards. You gotta trust God when
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: people are laughing at you. You gotta trust God when
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: you're twin is marketing you. You gotta trust God when
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: you're running out of food. You gotta trust God when
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: you're running out of time. Somebody watching online. This word
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: is for you. You gotta trust him now like you
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: never trusted him before. Thomas said, I will not believe.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: You've been wrestling in your mind. You're scared to believe God.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: For that job, for that house, for that car, for
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: that entrepreneurship. You're a friend. But you've got to trust
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: God because God is about to do something. Flop three
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: people are saying, show eight day, It show eighth day,
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: It show eighth day. This is the day that something happens.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: This is the day that the story changes. This is
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: the day that the yoke is broken. This is the
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: day that the hand tufts fall off. This is the
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: day that you get liberated. This is the day that
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: God does be impossible. And the Bible, the Bible, the
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: bib of the Bible, the bibe on the bie. Look
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: the Bible. The Bible took the time to tell us
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: that on Day's day, the door was closed. It was shut,
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: but Jesus came in anyway. Look to show Jesus who's
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: God enough to walk through the door and man enough
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: to eat fish. Once he gets inside the door, he said,
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: don't live in what I can do you can't lock
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: me out of your room. You can't lock me out
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: of your business, you can't lock me out of your plan.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: And just to show you that I'm more than a ghost,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: I think I'll sit down and have me a little
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: fish sandwich to remove all doubt that I got all power,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: all power. Can I preach like I want to preach it?
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: I got all power down.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: In my hands. Turn around and tell somebody he's got
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: all power. I don't care if you're on a kidney machine,
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: he's got all power. I don't care if you're suffering
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: from leukemia, he's got all power. I don't care if
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: they say you've got four stage cancer. He's got all power.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: I don't care. If you've got a heart the stiffs beach,
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: he's got all power. I don't care if you're on
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: a respirator, he's got all power. I don't care. If
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: your son's in jail, he's got all power. I don't
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: care if your daughter's living on the street. He's got
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: all power. I don't care if they curse you to
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: your faith, he's got all power. He walks through the
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: doors whenever he wants to.
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: Lord walk through a door this morning, I.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: Feel God walking through door this morning where the enemy
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: has set up a road blocked and trying to shut
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: you down from what God said he'd give you. God
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: is about to walk through the door. He's coming in
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: your direction. Stop. Let me ask you a question. Who
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: am I preaching you. You've been standing at the door
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: crying because the door is shut. But you've forgotten that
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Jesus can walk through a door. He'll come and get you.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: Even if they put you in the prison, if they
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: put you in the inner say some of the prison.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: Even if they got several dates before you get out,
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: He'll lead you out of every date in every wall.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Don't let show the twin tell you that all hope
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: is gone. Because God's got a plan. Help me preach
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: this word. Cut three people and take God's got a plan.

• 50:05
  Speaker 2: a plan for you. I'm not talking about the group.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: God's got a plan for you. I'm not talking about
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: all the disciples. God's got a plan for you. The
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: reason you got out of the bed this morning, it's
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: because God's got a plan for you. He's got a
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: plan for your life, and no weapon formed against you
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: shall be able to prosper that. It might shut us,
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: but it won't work. They might curse you, but it
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: won't work. They made back to you in a corner,
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: but it won't work, because when it's your time to
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: come out, you're coming out. Tell you they excuse me,
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: I'm coming out. I'm coming out this morning. I'm coming

  Speaker 2: out this morning. It how de create declare that I'm
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: coming out of this situation right now in the name
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: of Jesus. Jesus came back for one person. If there's
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: only one person in this room that believes God, he'll
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: come to you. If there's one person in the city,
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: he'll stay the whole city. Is there one person in
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: the potter's house that's got enough faith to see God
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: bring things south? Is there one person in the balcony
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: that believes God for a miracle? Is there one person
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: in this house there's not a prayer to lift your
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: hands and open your mouth? And South Esus Us South Convaated,
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: have mercy on me. Jesus. I've been blind all my life.

• 52:05
  Speaker 2: but I can steal.

• 52:15
  Speaker 2: of anything. You shall have whatever you say. The power
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: of life and death is in your talk. That's why
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: the moment you get depressed, the first thing the devil
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: tries to do is to get you to shut up.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: But the devil is alive. I've been quiet long enough.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna open my mouth. I don't care what the
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: demons does. I don't care what hell does. I don't
• 52:42

  Speaker 2: He didn't wait for Thomas, He didn't wait for Thomas
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: to speak to him. He spoke for Thomas. He said,

  Speaker 2: my hand. As to reach other your hand and see
• 55:18

  Speaker 2: Paul said, I bury in my body the box to
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: the Lord Jesus, and he said, when you see what
• 56:11

  Speaker 3: Where? Wherever?
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 5: Wherever? As I bring this message.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: To a close, the Bible said that Thomas truck down
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: on his knees and said, my Lord and my God,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: it may hurt to believe, but when God gets to
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: finishing what he's doing in your life, your faith is
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: gonna pay off. You're watching right now. Your faith is
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: gonna pay off. You're in the balcony right now. Your
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: faith is gonna pay off. You've been through hell and
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: how water. Your faith is gonna pay off. He droumped
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: down on his knees and send my Lord and my God.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: You're still lord over my situation. You're still Lord over
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: my circumstance. And I've got a feeling and everything it's
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: gonna be alright. I've got a feeling that that everything
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: he's gonna feel all right. I can't hear you. I
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: gotta feeling that everything he's gonna gotta feeling that. I
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: just got a feeling.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 5: I don't know where it's gonna come from, but I
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 5: got a.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: Feeling everything is gonna be all right. There's somebody in
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: this room. God meant for you to hear this word.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: You have gone through the pain of believing, to the
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: point that you have anesthetized your faith to avoid the pain.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: You just want the pain to stop more than you
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: want your prayer answer. The pain has taken center stage
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: over the answering of your prayer. And now you think
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: victory is the end of pain, and you call it peace,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: but it's really anesthesia because you don't want to believe
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: because you don't see it. And Jesus said to Thomas,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: you have believed because you have seen. Yeah, But blessed
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: are ads who have not seen, And yet they believe
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: you haven't seen a thing. But you've got that stubborn
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: faith that says He's still gonna do it. He's still
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: gonna do Who am I talking to He's still going
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: to do it. I don't want people who like the message.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: I don't even want people who like me. You don't
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: have to like me at all. I want people on
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: this altar who know the Word was for them. And
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: God was talking to you while I was preaching about
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: certain things going on in your life. And as the
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: lady said, I was reading your mail. Yeah, I'm I'm
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: delivering this mail to you today. I came like fed
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: Ex to drop off a package to you so that
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: you could believe and watch God move in your behalf.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 5: It is it is.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: That's where I clap your hands from cop your hands.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: Fearful, it's frightening to keep believing. Disappointment don't feel good.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: And sometimes we run from the things God gave us
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: because they get hard, rigormoritous hard, Mummy, Harry, and we
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: don't want to go through the process of having the
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: resurrection of our faith. But why come to church if
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: something's not gonna jump start your faith? I look on
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Facebook and Instagram and Twitter at all the stuff they
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: say about the church. And most of them who are
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: talking about the church don't even go to church. I
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: know they don't go to church. They be talking about
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: And if you build a mega church, how can you
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: build a mega church? How can you make a megachurch?
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: People make a megachurch? What you're gonna do, Come in
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: the city and build a big building and declare yourself
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: a megachurch. God mixed it mega, God mixed it mega.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: I did not come to Dollars to build a mega church.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: I didn't even expect it to be a megachurch. I
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: was coming to Dallas because they said coming to Dallas.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: And if I had to play the piano and preach
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: with a microphone up against the piano, I was going
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: to preach this word because that's what I'm used to.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: I'm used to a fight. Hit me if you want it.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: I'm used to a fight. I'm used to a fight.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: I'm so used to a fight that when people started coming,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: it scared me. Fifteen hundred people during the first Sunday,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: it scared me through death. I thought, Lord, I don't
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: even know what to do with fifteen hundred people. By
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: the end of two years, I had ten thousand people.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: I thought, Oh God, I didn't have ten thousand roaches
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: in my church. People were driving from Longview and coming
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: from around the world, moving from other cities to be
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: in this church. Get out at all shock. I'm telling
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: you your dream will exceed your vision. It'll be more
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: than you expected. The trying of your faith works, patience
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: and patience, worth of hope, and hope maketh itself not ashamed.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna be ashamed. You're not gonna be a shame.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: Lift your hands right where you are you're watching online,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: lift your hands. And if you've been trying to back
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: away from your dream, if you've been like Sarah and
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: trying to find ahavior to fill in for the dream,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: God don't need your help to give you your baby.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: And I want you, with your hands raised and your
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: heart open, to let God know I'm sorry that I
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: tried to do it by myself. I'm sorry that after
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: you endured such pain, I gave up so easy. You see,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: when Thomas and Jesus came together, they both had scars.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: Jesus had scars on the outside, but Thomas had scars
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: on the inside. He had scars on the inside. He
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: had walked with Jesus three years only to find out
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: that you didn't have a clue what Jesus was going
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: to do. Yeah, your doctrine, your doctrine, your ideology has
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: made the Word of God of no effect. We're gonna
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: kick open that door and say, Lord, come in. I'm
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: not gonna tell you how to do it. I'm not
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: gonna tell you who to use. I'm not going to
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: tell you when to do it.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: That.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep on believing you from your heart, now,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: from your heart, because the enemy gonna try this. He's
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: gonna try you. He's going to try you this Sunday morning.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: I confess that it hurts to believe, and I confess
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: that sometimes I've been double minded. My other twin, my
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: other twin walks away. But at this altar, I'm calling
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: them together to a place of wholeness and oneness, and
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: I seek unity within myself. I'm not seeking unity with
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: other people. I'm seeking unity within myself. And I'm not
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: ashamed to say, Lord, I believe you. I still believe you,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: I still trust you, I still expect you to move
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: in my behalf whenever you get ready. I believe you're
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: going to move in the name of Jesus, we praise
• 1:13:57

• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: He said, I know them that are mine. He knows you,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: He wants you to know him. You don't have to
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: worry about rejection because you are accepted in the beloved.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: Jesus cares about you, or you wouldn't have felt that
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: pull to be here. There are still some people in
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: the crowd that don't feel a pull. They've moved so
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: far away that they don't feel a pull. They've been
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: bound by curses and they don't feel the pull. The
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: very fact that you can feel the pull, the very
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: fact that you got tears running down in your face,
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: the very fact that you came. I don't care if
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: you was the last person to coul You belong to him.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: You belong to him. Your life is not your own.
• 1:23:05

• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: got so happy. I couldn't wait for Sunday to come.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: I just couldn't wait for Sunday to come. I preached
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: to my wife. I called people up on the phone
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: and start preaching to him. I know my friends were
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: sick of me because I was just a preacher. I
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: had to get it out. I had to get it out.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: The pain of the leaving you still come, the pain
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: of believing I would never try to stop you. From
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: me to Jesus, you can steal come. I just want
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: you to know that you can't come if he don't
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: draw you. And he doesn't draw everybody. He draws those
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: that are kids. He said. My sheep know my voice,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: and a stranger they will not follow. You know his voice,
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: and you don't. There's still some people standing back there
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: who don't hear nothing. But you heard him calling you
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: and you're come and said yes. And it's a gift
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: from God to be able to hear him that I
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: didn't do anything so bad that I went death. It
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: means he loves me. It means he cares about me,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: no matter what he wanted you. Now, I'm gonna pray
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: with you, and you're gonna pray with me. But if
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: the truth be told, it's already done. If it was
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: done when you made up your mind to start walking,
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: by the time you got down here, the door was
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: open and the Lord was in your room. Right then,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: because you have heard his voice, bow your heads with me, Father,
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: Repeat it with me. Father, I repent of my slowfulness,
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: of my sinfulness, of all of my doubts, and all
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: of my brokenness. You went through all of that to
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: get me out. And I'm glad that right here and
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: right now, in front of all of these people, I
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: accept you as Lord in my life. Do what you

  Speaker 2: we want your tax returns and all the kind stuff
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: never happened in my life. Our first revival was for
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: homeless people. Yeah, we went in the prisons, we went
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: in the jails, we got people who were cast away,
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: We got people who were team moms, We got people
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: who were abused. We made a partnership with the house
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: and the dollars so that abused women could escape. Never
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: did it, but they said, in my life, but we
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: are living in a time where you can hardly tell
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: a life of the truth. It was some gonna be
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: honest with you. It was hard for me not to
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: say nothing back. That other twin jumped down off of
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: my shoulders. That twin told me, you ought to just
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: let them have it one good time, just one good time,
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: one good time. God ain't looking. You ought to just
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: let them have it one good time. In the fifty
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: years I have been preaching, I have never seen or
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: asked anybody for a tax return. I have never counted
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: an offering ever. I'd never touch it, never, never. I've
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: had fifteen New York Times best sellers. I had executive
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: produced over six books, movies. Wow, they're playing my stuff now.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: I made some money up. I didn't give it to him.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: I made some money and then came back home and
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: taught my people how to make money, how to invest money,
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: how to save money. That's why I did. I came back,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 2: got out in the community and paid people and had
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: people wrapped all the way up to thirty feeding people
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: when nobody else would feed 'em. I preached almost three
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: years in this church with nobody in this building. But
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: I stood there and preached the gospel all through Kovid.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: I preached the gospel, and I started to let him have.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: I would have wrote a book in that little line.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know when they run out of world. I
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: would have wrote a book and still been talking. And
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 2: then got said to me, what good would it do?
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: People believe what they like to believe. You are my witnesses.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: You are my witnesses. You are my credentials. You are
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: my living epistles to the authenticity of my ministry. And
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: I don't need nobody else. I got you. I got
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: you now. With everybody touching. You said, where two or
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: three are gathered together in my name, there am I
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: in the midst of them. We are gathered together in
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: your name. You said, if any two or three agree
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: as touching anything on earth to be done, I pray
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: God in the name of Jesus, that not one of
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: these words would fail, but that you would manifest yourself
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: in everyone's life. In a different way, in an unexpected way,
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: in a supernatural way. Let many testimonies come out of
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 2: this word and bless our pastors as a servant all
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: the way across the country. Bless them right now and
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: bring them back home safely to us. Bless the Jackson
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: family in a very special way and give them peace
