- 0:00Speaker 1: Speak, we can't breathe. If you don't speak, we can't talk.
- 0:03Speaker 1: If you don't speak, we can't walk. If you don't speak,
- 0:05Speaker 1: we can't think. If you don't speak, we can't decide.
- 0:08Speaker 2: We need a word from you. If we don't hear
- 0:15Speaker 2: from you, what shall we do? If we don't hear
- 0:22Speaker 2: from you, where shall we go? If we don't hear
- 0:28Speaker 2: from you, What shall we say?
- 0:33Speaker 1: Take over the service. Throw your weight around. Show hell
- 0:39Speaker 1: who's boss. Move cancer out the building. Diseases out the building.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Affliction out the building. Turmoil out the building. Distress, depression,
- 0:52Speaker 1: and fear. You can take anything that says exit on it.
- 0:55Speaker 1: You got to go today. In the name of Jesus.
- 1:00Speaker 1: I thank you for what you're about to do. Spirit
- 1:02Speaker 1: of the living God, I have your way. I'll be
- 1:06Speaker 1: careful to give you the praise, the honor, and the glory.
- 1:11Speaker 1: In Jesus' mighty and righteous name we pray. Every believer
- 1:15Speaker 1: in the house, shout amen! You may be seated in
- 1:20Speaker 1: the presence of God.
- 1:26Speaker 2: It is.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Distressing to note that the particular book that is before
- 1:32Speaker 1: us today is reserved for Mother's Day, Women's Days, First
- 1:39Speaker 1: Lady's Days, and things of that ilk. It is because
- 1:44Speaker 1: of the hidden misogynic philosophy of our society where we
- 1:49Speaker 1: have categorized the value of the text by the gender.
- 1:57Speaker 1: rather than the depth of the revelation. If the book
- 2:00Speaker 1: of Ruth were not in the Bible, there would be
- 2:05Speaker 1: no book of judges, no book of kings. There would
- 2:09Speaker 1: be no book of kings. There would be no books
- 2:13Speaker 1: of history. The psalmist would never sing the psalms if
- 2:18Speaker 1: the book of Ruth were not in the Bible. If
- 2:21Speaker 1: the book of Ruth were not in the Bible, Zephaniah
- 2:23Speaker 1: would never utter a prophetic word. Can I take my time?
- 2:28Speaker 1: If the book of Ruth were not in the Bible,
- 2:31Speaker 1: Malachi would have never been written. If the book of
- 2:34Speaker 1: Ruth were not in the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and
- 2:37Speaker 1: John would not be categorized amongst the scriptures. 27 books
- 2:43Speaker 1: of the New Testament would be obliterated. They are all
- 2:47Speaker 1: predicated upon this particular book. This book, the book of Ruth,
- 2:53Speaker 1: is really about change. Somebody shall change. The Lord said
- 2:59Speaker 1: to me at the beginning of the pandemic. He said,
- 3:02Speaker 1: when you pray for change, I answer with disruption. And
- 3:12Speaker 1: when I send disruption, don't allow the disruption to become
- 3:17Speaker 1: a distraction. Because most people think solving the disruption is victory.
- 3:24Speaker 1: When in fact, I sent the disruption down. to facilitate
- 3:28Speaker 1: the change. You can't have change without disruption. Everything has
- 3:37Speaker 1: to be disrupted in order to change. You can't keep
- 3:40Speaker 1: your waistline and have a baby. Change is disruptive. You
- 3:48Speaker 1: can't plant an acorn in the ground and tell it
- 3:51Speaker 1: not to disrupt the soil because growth itself is disruptive.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Wherever there is change, it will always enunciate itself by
- 4:02Speaker 1: the level of the disruption that precedes it. The book
- 4:06Speaker 1: of Ruth is more than a display of femininity.
- 4:10Speaker 2: It is in fact a book of disruption. It starts
- 4:16Speaker 2: with disruption.
- 4:18Speaker 1: How you handle disruption determines how far you can go.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Hear me good, hear me good.
- 4:26Speaker 1: If you can't handle disruption, then stop praying for change.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Most people can't handle disruption because they allow the disruption
- 4:39Speaker 1: to become a distraction. And they stop their mission to
- 4:43Speaker 1: settle the disruption as if settling the disruption was victory.
- 4:49Speaker 1: This is why Nehemiah did not respond to Sanballat and
- 4:52Speaker 1: Tobias because they were a disruption. The victory was in
- 4:57Speaker 1: ignoring the disruption and staying on the wall. Second thing
- 5:02Speaker 1: he said to me, in the midst of the disruption,
- 5:05Speaker 1: it will always want to be a distraction because every
- 5:09Speaker 1: disruption presents an opportunity. That will only mean something to
- 5:17Speaker 1: people whose lives have been disrupted, whose jobs have been disrupted.
- 5:22Speaker 1: By the way, y'all sang your face off. Excuse me,
- 5:26Speaker 1: that don't have nothing to do with the text. You
- 5:29Speaker 1: know a person can sing when they sing so well
- 5:31Speaker 1: you think you can. Brother got to moaning in the mic.
- 5:37Speaker 1: I tried to moan too. I sound like a frog
- 5:40Speaker 1: with a sore throat.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Disruption. Disruption comes into all of our lives.
- 5:54Speaker 1: But we don't always realize it because poor people think
- 5:56Speaker 1: that rich people don't have disruption. And some rich people
- 6:00Speaker 1: think that poor people don't have disruption because they don't
- 6:03Speaker 1: have much of anything. They don't think they have real problems.
- 6:07Speaker 1: And poor people look at rich people and say, look
- 6:09Speaker 1: at how much money you have as if you could
- 6:11Speaker 1: buy peace. The problem, however, is that peace is not
- 6:18Speaker 1: for sale. Disruption comes to attractive people. And you look
- 6:26Speaker 1: at them and you're amazed at their beauty and you think, oh,
- 6:29Speaker 1: if I could just look like that. And then you
- 6:31Speaker 1: get to know them. And you find out that some
- 6:34Speaker 1: of the craziest people I have ever met in my
- 6:39Speaker 1: life were fine. Somebody ought to back me up in here.
- 6:48Speaker 1: You're cute, but you're crazy. You take nice pictures, but
- 6:53Speaker 1: you're insane. You're gorgeous, but you're a lunatic. You understand
- 7:00Speaker 1: disruption comes both to the intellectual and to the illiterate.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Often in the same degree of intensity, disruption comes. No
- 7:13Speaker 1: one is exempt from disruption. The text before us is
- 7:18Speaker 1: disruption because disruption is always the gateway to opportunity. Look
- 7:26Speaker 1: back over your life and the times your life has
- 7:28Speaker 1: been disrupted and you thought it was over only to
- 7:32Speaker 1: discover that it was the gateway to a new beginning
- 7:34Speaker 1: and a new opportunity. Can I get 10 witnesses in
- 7:37Speaker 1: the building? Such is the case in the text today.
- 7:45Speaker 1: How you adapt to change determines how far God can
- 7:48Speaker 1: take you. Your adaptability, your ability to adapt. There are
- 7:53Speaker 1: certain people that are inflexible. The gifted, but they're inflexible.
- 7:57Speaker 1: The talented, but they're inflexible. They're married, but they're inflexible.
- 8:01Speaker 1: They can preach, but they're inflexible. They're intelligent, but they're inflexible.
- 8:05Speaker 1: You cannot couple yourself with somebody that's inflexible and expect
- 8:10Speaker 1: to grow because they cannot go. They cannot go, therefore
- 8:21Speaker 1: they cannot grow because they are inflexible. In order to
- 8:28Speaker 1: survive the vicissitudes of life, you have to be prepared
- 8:31Speaker 1: to go at a moment's notice. to re-evaluate your circumstance,
- 8:38Speaker 1: to reconstruct your position, to change your plans and alter
- 8:43Speaker 1: your strategy and remove your cause. You can't be more
- 8:46Speaker 1: married to your plan than you are your purpose.
- 8:53Speaker 2: I said it again.
- 8:54Speaker 1: You can't be more married to your plan than you
- 8:56Speaker 1: are your purpose.
- 8:57Speaker 2: Some of us.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Love the way we praise the Lord more than we
- 9:01Speaker 1: love the Lord we praise.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Oh, y'all gonna make me get started early.
- 9:08Speaker 1: It's too early for me to grab my head yet,
- 9:10Speaker 1: but I feel something creeping up my spine and hear
- 9:13Speaker 1: something is about to happen in this place. We love
- 9:16Speaker 1: the way we praise and we enjoy what we do
- 9:20Speaker 1: more than we do the one we're.
- 9:21Speaker 2: Doing it for.
- 9:23Speaker 1: You haven't really praised the Lord until you praised him alone.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Until you dance in your living room, you don't have
- 9:32Speaker 1: a praise. What you have is a show. Until you
- 9:36Speaker 1: have had tears running down your face while you're driving
- 9:39Speaker 1: and you were wiping tears out your eyes and said, Lord,
- 9:42Speaker 1: you're the only real friend I got.
- 9:44Speaker 2: You don't have a relationship with God.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Until all hell has broken loose in your life and
- 9:51Speaker 1: you're saying like Job, though he slay me, yet.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Our civilizations have survived for years because we had the adaptability.
- 10:10Speaker 2: To move, to change, to evolve, to travel, to.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Be nomadic in our essence has produced our survival because
- 10:22Speaker 1: our culture was not predicated on geography. Our culture was
- 10:29Speaker 1: not predicated on geography. So we went where the food
- 10:32Speaker 1: was and we went where the water flowed and we
- 10:36Speaker 1: never lost our identity because we changed locations because we
- 10:40Speaker 1: were never defined by our locations. If you study the
- 10:45Speaker 1: history of Africa, you'll begin to understand that before there
- 10:49Speaker 1: was a Nigeria or Ghana or a Congo, there were
- 10:52Speaker 1: a people. There were Titsis and there were Urbans and
- 10:56Speaker 1: there were people like that. There were people of different
- 11:00Speaker 1: tribes and origins who did not define themselves by the
- 11:03Speaker 1: territory they dwelt in, but the language they spoke, the
- 11:07Speaker 1: food they ate, the culture they had, the blood in
- 11:10Speaker 1: their veins, the way that they moved.
- 11:12Speaker 2: It was only when colonialism.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Came in that they start cutting up the land because
- 11:18Speaker 1: the Europeans thought the land was valuable, not the people.
- 11:24Speaker 1: So they split the people to get the land, never
- 11:28Speaker 1: really recognizing that the land is only as valuable as
- 11:31Speaker 1: the people that are on it. In our own country.
- 11:36Speaker 1: We are here because we migrated here.
- 11:40Speaker 2: And I'm not talking about us as a people.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I'm talking about even the people that we found here
- 11:45Speaker 1: when we got here, migrated here. And I'm not just
- 11:48Speaker 1: talking about white people, but even the people they found
- 11:51Speaker 1: when they.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Got here, migrated here.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Migration has been essential for our survival, the ability to
- 11:58Speaker 1: be flexible. How do you know change is coming? Because
- 12:02Speaker 1: I just spent the last 400 days watching God push
- 12:06Speaker 1: a reset button. And whenever God pushes a reset button,
- 12:10Speaker 1: it's a sign that change is imminent in our society.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Can I get a witness in the room?
- 12:17Speaker 1: Is there anybody in here that's been sensing in your
- 12:20Speaker 1: spirit that something is about to happen? Your normal has
- 12:24Speaker 1: been shattered. Your predictable cannot be predicted and all of
- 12:28Speaker 1: a sudden you're in a place of instability and vulnerability
- 12:32Speaker 1: if you hear me holler at your boy if you hear.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Me right now in chapter 1 we understand that Naomi.
- 12:49Speaker 1: She migrates to Moab because of the famine that existed
- 12:56Speaker 1: in Bethlehem Bethlehem is a modern, semi-modern name for Ephratah.
- 13:03Speaker 1: Bethlehem means the house of bread. But the house of
- 13:08Speaker 1: bread had developed a famine. And when the famine got
- 13:13Speaker 1: bad enough, Naomi said, I'm out of here. When the famine,
- 13:20Speaker 1: when the famine, I know you've been working with somebody
- 13:22Speaker 1: trying to get them to see and they will not
- 13:25Speaker 1: hear you.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Don't worry about.
- 13:29Speaker 1: When the famine gets bad enough, people will migrate. The
- 13:34Speaker 1: only reason they stay where they are is that it
- 13:38Speaker 1: hadn't gotten bad enough.
- 13:39Speaker 2: When they get hungry enough, when they.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Get sick enough, when enough people die, when enough distress comes,
- 13:46Speaker 1: you won't have to get into an argument to get
- 13:49Speaker 1: them to do better. You won't have to push them.
- 13:52Speaker 1: You won't have to beg them. You won't have to cry.
- 13:55Speaker 1: You won't have to sleep with them. When it gets
- 13:57Speaker 1: bad enough, they'll leave. If they got to leave on
- 14:00Speaker 1: a tricycle, they'll get out of there, shove somebody and say,
- 14:04Speaker 1: I got to go.
- 14:06Speaker 2: I can't stay in a famine.
- 14:14Speaker 1: So Naomi grabbed up her husband and her two sons
- 14:17Speaker 1: and put them in a wagon and headed out for Moab.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Willing to risk the rejection of the Moabites rather than
- 14:26Speaker 1: to die in Bethlehem.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Because all change has risk factors.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Some people don't experience change because they are so afraid
- 14:37Speaker 1: of the risk factors. that they are not willing to
- 14:40Speaker 1: have a new experience because they're not willing to risk rejection.
- 14:44Speaker 1: They choose to die in the famine rather than to
- 14:48Speaker 1: risk not being accepted where they're going. Oh, y'all don't
- 14:53Speaker 1: hear what I'm saying. Develop all the programs you want to.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Feed everybody you will. Start all your STEM and your
- 15:00Speaker 1: STEAM and your this. We do all of that. Start
- 15:02Speaker 1: all of that. Do your financial literacy. But there are.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Some folk who are more comfortable.
- 15:08Speaker 1: To stay where they are than to evolve to the
- 15:10Speaker 1: next level. But there's a few of us that refuse
- 15:14Speaker 1: to die in the desert of despair and ignorance. There's
- 15:19Speaker 1: something more that we want out of life.
- 15:34Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor and say,
- 15:37Speaker 1: I'm leaving. I'm leaving I'm leaving I'm leaving if your
- 15:41Speaker 1: bags ain't packed I'm leaving you I got to go
- 15:44Speaker 1: change is imminent I know I was not created to
- 15:48Speaker 1: die like this is so then my brothers and sisters
- 15:55Speaker 1: when we are introduced to the text we are introduced
- 15:57Speaker 1: to it in the midst of a grievous famine the
- 16:01Speaker 1: famine is so severe that the cattle have succumbed to
- 16:04Speaker 1: it the sheep have withered in it.
- 16:07Speaker 2: All lifestyles are affected in a famine.
- 16:11Speaker 1: Fish die, men die, people die, cattle die, sheep die,
- 16:16Speaker 1: goats die, chickens.
- 16:17Speaker 2: Die in a famine.
- 16:19Speaker 1: When a famine gets severe enough, all life begins to
- 16:24Speaker 1: suffer and most famines are preceded by droughts. For it
- 16:31Speaker 1: is the drought that is the cause through which the
- 16:34Speaker 1: famine ultimately comes. As long as there is water, there
- 16:39Speaker 1: will be growth. Oh, that's why I got to be
- 16:42Speaker 1: in a wet place. That's why I get happy when
- 16:44Speaker 1: he says he leads me beside still waters. I want
- 16:48Speaker 1: to be where the waters are. Because if there's water,
- 16:51Speaker 1: I can grow. If there's water, I can live. If
- 16:54Speaker 1: there's water, I can survive. I got to be in
- 16:56Speaker 1: a wet church place. I got to have a wet pastor.
- 17:00Speaker 1: I got to have a wet wife. I got to
- 17:02Speaker 1: have wet children. I got to have a wet house.
- 17:06Speaker 1: I got to have something I can grow in, something
- 17:08Speaker 1: I can move in. Deliver me from dried up people.
- 17:12Speaker 1: I don't need any dried up people. I don't need
- 17:14Speaker 1: any dried up people. Look at your neighbor and say,
- 17:16Speaker 1: are you dried up? If they say yes, move. Run
- 17:20Speaker 1: away from them. Get away from them. I got to
- 17:23Speaker 1: have wet because wet is possibility. And so Naomi loads
- 17:37Speaker 1: up the wagon and she decides to change. For some reason,
- 17:41Speaker 1: the limerick is not really, doesn't have a strong voice
- 17:44Speaker 1: in the text. This is much about the decision made
- 17:46Speaker 1: by a radical woman. Where are my radical women in
- 17:50Speaker 1: the house? A radical woman is sensitive enough to sense.
- 17:58Speaker 2: When it's time to move on.
- 18:00Speaker 1: A radical woman can sense more in her spirit than
- 18:04Speaker 1: you can discern with your metrics and all of your
- 18:07Speaker 1: tests and all of your science. I need some radical women.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Make some noise in this house. Some radical women that
- 18:16Speaker 1: you know when it's time to leave. The beginning of
- 18:20Speaker 1: wisdom is understanding when it's time to get out.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Enough is enough. I'm done. Excuse me, it's over. I resign.
- 18:30Speaker 2: I'm out. I got to go.
- 18:32Speaker 1: It's too dry. Good God of mine. My God, my God,
- 18:44Speaker 1: my God.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Shut it up, my family.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Put them in a wagon and said, I'll take my chances.
- 18:53Speaker 1: I'll take my chances with Moab. If I die, I'm
- 18:56Speaker 1: going to die in motion. I'm going to die on
- 19:00Speaker 1: my way somewhere. I'm going to die clawing and scratching.
- 19:04Speaker 1: I'm going to die moving with my wheels turning. If
- 19:07Speaker 1: I perish, I perish, but I'm going. Somebody holler, I'm going.
- 19:12Speaker 1: I'm going. I don't mind following you long as you're moving.
- 19:24Speaker 1: But don't expect me to submit and get behind a
- 19:27Speaker 1: parked car.
- 19:30Speaker 2: I will not line up behind a car that ain't moving.
- 19:34Speaker 2: Make a move. Bust a move, buddy. Bust a move
- 19:40Speaker 2: or I'll start a movement. Bust a move.
- 19:42Speaker 1: Or I'll get out of line. I can't spend the
- 19:45Speaker 1: rest of my life tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock. I'm running
- 19:48Speaker 1: out of time. I don't have time to sit behind
- 19:51Speaker 1: your car if you're not going anywhere. I've got to go.
- 19:56Speaker 1: I want 30 seconds of crazy craziness. All of that
- 20:13Speaker 1: happens in the first chapter. And she gets to Moab
- 20:16Speaker 1: and she stays there many, many years in the first chapter.
- 20:18Speaker 1: And her sons find wives and they're married there. And
- 20:22Speaker 1: she has a family and she has a good life there.
- 20:24Speaker 1: And over the course of time, things happen. She lost
- 20:27Speaker 1: her husband. People die. She lost her husband. But then
- 20:32Speaker 1: it got tougher because she lost her husband.
- 20:34Speaker 2: Her son. And then she lost her other son.
- 20:38Speaker 1: And all of a sudden she finds herself in another
- 20:42Speaker 1: kind of famine. A famine for love. A famine for
- 20:54Speaker 1: love can be as detrimental as a famine for food.
- 21:00Speaker 1: No one ran in the house and hugged her. No
- 21:02Speaker 1: one wrapped their arms around her at night. No one
- 21:05Speaker 1: told her she was a beautiful woman. No one appreciated
- 21:08Speaker 1: her as a mother. The love for which she thrived
- 21:12Speaker 1: off of had ceased to exist. And she found herself
- 21:16Speaker 1: in a famine again. And she says, I'm going back home.
- 21:24Speaker 1: All of that's in the first chapter. And so what
- 21:27Speaker 1: happens as she announces what she's going to do, it's
- 21:30Speaker 1: kind of like this. I don't know what you come
- 21:32Speaker 1: to do. I can't speak for nobody else but me.
- 21:36Speaker 1: I am going home.
- 21:39Speaker 2: I'm leaving.
- 21:40Speaker 1: I'm going to here. And then comes this character in
- 21:45Speaker 1: the Bible, one of her daughter-in-laws named Orpah. And Orpah
- 21:51Speaker 1: is seldom talked about, but I want to spend a
- 21:53Speaker 1: few minutes talking about Orpah.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Can I talk about Orpah?
- 21:57Speaker 1: I want to talk about Orpah because Orpah came out
- 21:59Speaker 1: there to her mother-in-law and.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Kissed her goodbye and decided to stay.
- 22:05Speaker 1: All three women teach us a different kind of person
- 22:08Speaker 1: that we will deal with in life. There are some
- 22:11Speaker 1: people that just cannot go with you. Even though they
- 22:15Speaker 1: started with you, they can't stay with you. Even though
- 22:19Speaker 1: they were connected to you, they ate with you, they
- 22:21Speaker 1: were related to you, they laughed with you, they followed
- 22:24Speaker 1: your customs and they seem like one of you. But
- 22:26Speaker 1: when push comes to shove, they identify themselves as not
- 22:30Speaker 1: being fit to make the journey with you. Because their
- 22:34Speaker 1: roots are in their past and not in their future.
- 22:38Speaker 1: Their roots are in where they came from and not
- 22:41Speaker 1: where they're going. In other words, she was related to Naomi,
- 22:45Speaker 1: but she wasn't as related to Naomi as she.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Was to Moab.
- 22:50Speaker 1: There are people who are related to you, but deep
- 22:53Speaker 1: down they're more related to other things than they are
- 22:56Speaker 1: to you. And they will be with you as long
- 22:58Speaker 1: as you stay in other things. But the moment you
- 23:00Speaker 1: move out of other things, they will drop off. Because
- 23:03Speaker 1: the real commitment is not with you. It's with the
- 23:07Speaker 1: environment that you're in. And if anything changes, they will
- 23:11Speaker 1: kiss you goodbye. Look at somebody and say, kiss me now.
- 23:15Speaker 1: If you're leaving, kiss me now. Ain't no need to
- 23:18Speaker 1: drag this thing out 10 more years.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Kiss me now. If I'm going to cry, let me
- 23:23Speaker 2: cry right now.
- 23:24Speaker 1: If I'm going to have to get over it, let
- 23:26Speaker 1: me get over it right now because I'm going. And
- 23:29Speaker 1: if you're not going, Judas, kiss me now.
- 23:39Speaker 2: Why did you.
- 23:40Speaker 1: Trance out me with a kiss? Because you can't go.
- 23:45Speaker 1: In the spirit of Judas, Orpah kisses Naomi.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Goodbye.
- 23:51Speaker 1: It means I will not be in the upper room.
- 23:54Speaker 1: I will write no amazing books of the Bible. I
- 23:57Speaker 1: will establish no churches. I will do no great works.
- 24:00Speaker 1: I was with you as long as you were doing
- 24:02Speaker 1: what I expected you to do. But when you change
- 24:05Speaker 1: your expectation.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
- 24:09Speaker 1: I said that for somebody who's trying to understand why
- 24:12Speaker 1: somebody else left you. They left you because they were
- 24:15Speaker 1: more attached to the situation than they were to you.
- 24:18Speaker 1: And when you started growing, they were willing to kiss
- 24:21Speaker 1: you goodbye. I know you don't want to blow your
- 24:23Speaker 1: cover in here, but if you don't care what nobody
- 24:25Speaker 1: thinks and you had that experience, make some noise, make
- 24:28Speaker 1: a sound, make a sound. Oprah lacks the elasticity, the
- 24:35Speaker 1: nimbleness of wit and thought and mind and strength to
- 24:38Speaker 1: be able to be flexible enough. She is not dexterous enough.
- 24:42Speaker 1: She lacks the capacity to be able to evolve.
- 24:46Speaker 2: With the times. And so she stays in Moab rather
- 24:52Speaker 2: than to take a risk.
- 24:54Speaker 1: You would be surprised how many people in this room
- 24:57Speaker 1: who have allowed fear to paralyze mobility. The paralysis of
- 25:03Speaker 1: fear has kept you trapped in a situation that you
- 25:06Speaker 1: call the devil. You've rebuked it. You've pleaded the blood
- 25:10Speaker 1: on it. You've anointed yourself with oil and it doesn't change.
- 25:13Speaker 1: And the reason it doesn't change is because it's not
- 25:15Speaker 1: a demon.
- 25:16Speaker 2: It's you.
- 25:17Speaker 1: It's your fear. It's your fear of taking a risk.
- 25:21Speaker 1: You can cast out a demon, but you can't cast
- 25:25Speaker 1: out you. You talk yourself out of every blessing. You
- 25:30Speaker 1: talk yourself out of every progress. If I put you
- 25:33Speaker 1: in a good situation, you self-sabotage because you don't think
- 25:37Speaker 1: you're worthy to go forward to the next dimension. If
- 25:41Speaker 1: I give you new friends, you'll mess it up every
- 25:43Speaker 1: time because deep down inside, you're only comfortable amongst the Moabites.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Have you ever tried to raise somebody who refused to
- 25:56Speaker 1: be raised? Next time you run into them, just say, okay, Orpah.
- 26:02Speaker 1: They won't know what you're talking about, but just tell them, okay, Orpah. Okay,
- 26:05Speaker 1: I understand.
- 26:06Speaker 2: I understand.
- 26:08Speaker 1: You are afraid of evolution. You are afraid of migration.
- 26:13Speaker 1: You are afraid of movement. You are afraid of a flow.
- 26:18Speaker 1: And you can't walk with God if you're not going
- 26:21Speaker 1: to get in a flow. Because our God is a
- 26:24Speaker 1: moving God. The very first thing that Genesis teaches us
- 26:28Speaker 1: about God is in the beginning, the Spirit of God moves.
- 26:32Speaker 1: upon the face of the waters and from the book
- 26:34Speaker 1: of Genesis where it moved upon the face of the
- 26:36Speaker 1: water to the book of Revelations where it said even
- 26:39Speaker 1: so come Lord Jesus throughout the text the cloud moved
- 26:43Speaker 1: the pillar of fire moved the rustling in the trees
- 26:46Speaker 1: moved the glory moved whenever you walk with God you
- 26:49Speaker 1: got to be ready to move because God will migrate
- 26:53Speaker 1: from place to place Most people stay where God was
- 26:56Speaker 1: rather than to be where God is. But I'm too
- 26:59Speaker 1: old to be where God used to be and build
- 27:01Speaker 1: a monument to where he was. I want to be
- 27:05Speaker 1: in the movement. Look at two people. That's three people. Say,
- 27:08Speaker 1: get in the flow. Get in the flow. Get in
- 27:10Speaker 1: the flow. Our God is a moving God. Our God
- 27:12Speaker 1: is a moving God. Our God is a moving God.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Our God is a flowing God. Our God is an
- 27:17Speaker 1: evolving God. If you're going to walk with God, he
- 27:20Speaker 1: is Ruach.
- 27:21Speaker 2: He is breath.
- 27:22Speaker 1: He is breath.
- 27:23Speaker 2: He is air. He is breathing. He is motion. He
- 27:27Speaker 2: is movement. He is flow.
- 27:29Speaker 1: And because he is a moving God, everything that he
- 27:32Speaker 1: created moves. The earth moves. The solar system moves. Your
- 27:37Speaker 1: breath moves. Your blood moves. The rabbis come to the
- 27:41Speaker 1: wailing wall and they move because everything about God is moving.
- 27:46Speaker 1: If you're not moving, you're not with God because God
- 27:48Speaker 1: is moving. Look at your neighbor and say move. If
- 27:51Speaker 1: you can't walk, crawl. If you can't crawl, get in
- 27:54Speaker 1: a wheelchair and spin around in a circle. But you
- 27:57Speaker 1: got to move or you're going to die. Oh, you're
- 28:00Speaker 1: going to get stiff if you don't move. You got
- 28:02Speaker 1: to keep moving. Learn somebody to say keep moving. So
- 28:15Speaker 1: I talked about Oprah. Let me talk a little bit
- 28:17Speaker 1: about Naomi.
- 28:18Speaker 2: Naomi. Naomi has lived life. She is an older woman.
- 28:26Speaker 2: She has seen spring.
- 28:29Speaker 1: She has seen the leaves bud. She has smelled honeysuckle
- 28:38Speaker 1: in the air. She has seen the blossoms peek through
- 28:44Speaker 1: the buds and add just a touch of color to
- 28:48Speaker 1: nature itself. She has smelled the fresh air of springtime.
- 28:56Speaker 1: She has felt the misting dew cascade upon the ground
- 29:01Speaker 1: and could almost hear the grass grow in the yard.
- 29:04Speaker 1: She has been in the morning of life when love
- 29:07Speaker 1: was fresh and everything was simple. She has survived the
- 29:12Speaker 1: hot summer heat when everything was warm and growing and
- 29:18Speaker 1: raised her children and enjoyed her life and gone to
- 29:22Speaker 1: the graduation and cried from the balconies as they graduated
- 29:26Speaker 1: in the summer of her life. She has survived autumn
- 29:30Speaker 1: in her life. She has watched her face change, her
- 29:34Speaker 1: hair change, her friends change, her world change, her situation
- 29:40Speaker 1: and circumstance change obviously her perspective is going to be
- 29:44Speaker 1: different because whenever fall hangs out with spring they always
- 29:48Speaker 1: have a different point of view So far, you hear
- 29:52Speaker 1: what I'm saying? For Naomi to hang out with Ruth
- 29:56Speaker 1: is fall hanging out with spring. Fall knows things that
- 30:01Speaker 1: spring has yet to encounter. Fall understands things that spring
- 30:06Speaker 1: will evolve to eventually. It's hard to have a conversation
- 30:11Speaker 1: when you have a spring mentality talking to a fall experience.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Naomi has a fall experience and she has lived life.
- 30:20Speaker 1: She has had such an experience that even though she
- 30:23Speaker 1: is bitter and even though she has lost her husband,
- 30:26Speaker 1: And even though she has lost her sons, she has
- 30:29Speaker 1: kept it moving, baby. You can say whatever you want
- 30:32Speaker 1: to say about her being bitter, but even in her bitterness,
- 30:35Speaker 1: she's kept it moving. Because Naomi comes to teach us
- 30:39Speaker 1: that you cannot allow your emotions to stop your movement.
- 30:44Speaker 1: Feel however you want to feel, but keep it moving.
- 30:47Speaker 1: Cry if you got to cry, but keep it moving.
- 30:50Speaker 1: Hurt if you got to hurt, but keep it moving.
- 30:52Speaker 1: I need some Naomi's in the house. Make some noise.
- 30:56Speaker 2: Some survivors. Some survivors.
- 30:58Speaker 1: I'll take a man. I'll take a woman. I'll take
- 31:01Speaker 1: a goat. Anything that survived the death of something. Make
- 31:05Speaker 1: some noise. Let me hear you. Come on, let me
- 31:09Speaker 1: hear you. Look at somebody and say, I'm going to
- 31:19Speaker 1: keep it moving.
- 31:20Speaker 2: Keep it moving.
- 31:21Speaker 1: I'm hurt, but I'm going to keep it moving. I
- 31:23Speaker 1: may be bitter, but I'm going to keep it moving.
- 31:26Speaker 1: I may cry sometimes, but I'm going to keep it moving.
- 31:29Speaker 1: Naomi has learned not to make decisions out of her emotions.
- 31:38Speaker 1: She said, you may be bitter, but you're going home.
- 31:42Speaker 1: You know why? Bethlehem is a house of bread. And
- 31:49Speaker 1: there is bread everywhere.
- 31:51Speaker 2: In Bethlehem.
- 31:53Speaker 1: And Naomi is going where the bread is. Where the
- 31:57Speaker 1: fulfillment is. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
- 32:02Speaker 2: And so.
- 32:03Speaker 1: Naomi teaches us not to make. Permanent decisions. Off of
- 32:07Speaker 1: temporary emotions. Oh that was worth coming all by itself.
- 32:15Speaker 1: Because most of the time I see people. Who allow
- 32:18Speaker 1: their emotions. To make decisions for them. And then they
- 32:22Speaker 1: suffer the consequences of regret because the emotion passes, but
- 32:27Speaker 1: the decision remains. Naomi is not responding to her emotions
- 32:32Speaker 1: in making a decision. She's bitter, but she's moving because
- 32:37Speaker 1: she is not rooted in her circumstances. She is rooted
- 32:41Speaker 1: in her identity. And even though she has been with
- 32:44Speaker 1: the Moabites, she still knows who she is. Note to
- 32:48Speaker 1: all possible candidates for marriage, don't marry anybody who doesn't
- 32:54Speaker 1: know who they are. Note to every CEO, I don't
- 33:03Speaker 1: care how many degrees they got, if they don't have
- 33:05Speaker 1: a good sense of who they are, leave them alone.
- 33:08Speaker 1: Because they're going to find out in the middle of
- 33:10Speaker 1: the job and it may not include you. And you
- 33:13Speaker 1: don't have time to deal with a trauma case while
- 33:16Speaker 1: you're trying to build a building. Because some of us
- 33:19Speaker 1: are traumatized and half out of our mind and we
- 33:22Speaker 1: don't know who we are.
- 33:24Speaker 2: All we know is who touched us last. You are
- 33:33Speaker 2: not who touched you.
- 33:37Speaker 1: You are not defined by what you got on. It
- 33:41Speaker 1: is not the name you wear, it's the name you have.
- 33:45Speaker 1: God says, I will make your name great. And you
- 33:48Speaker 1: won't have to wear all those brand names when your
- 33:50Speaker 1: name is great.
- 33:52Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
- 33:52Speaker 1: I can't find nobody's name to put on that's any
- 33:55Speaker 1: greater than the name he gave me. Because God said,
- 33:58Speaker 1: I'll make your name great. Not your title, not your office,
- 34:02Speaker 1: not your suit. God said, I will make your name great.
- 34:13Speaker 1: And I don't know who it is, but somebody in
- 34:14Speaker 1: this room, God is about to make a name for you.
- 34:18Speaker 1: He's about to establish you. He's about to lift you
- 34:21Speaker 1: up into a better place. He's about to give you
- 34:23Speaker 1: something that he couldn't give you earlier because you were unstable.
- 34:26Speaker 1: But now that you're getting stable, God is ready to
- 34:29Speaker 1: give you what he promised you years ago. You're now
- 34:32Speaker 1: going to come into it. You were anointed to be king,
- 34:36Speaker 1: but you weren't ready to be king until you kill something.
- 34:40Speaker 1: Now that you got some heads under your feet, Now
- 34:43Speaker 1: God is about to crown you as king. And if
- 34:46Speaker 1: that prophetic word is for you, I dare you to
- 34:49Speaker 1: praise him like you're coming into your kingdom. Come on
- 34:54Speaker 1: into it. Come on into it. Come on into it.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Come on into it. Come on into it. know i'm
- 35:09Speaker 1: gonna come into it i know i'm gonna come into
- 35:11Speaker 1: it 600 000 people died in the last 400 days
- 35:15Speaker 1: in america and thankfully i wasn't one of them and
- 35:18Speaker 1: god kept me alive for a reason i know i'm
- 35:21Speaker 1: gonna come into it some of you got sick but
- 35:23Speaker 1: you survived god didn't let you survive for nothing you're
- 35:27Speaker 1: about to come into something the devil wouldn't have fought
- 35:30Speaker 1: you like he fought you if you weren't about to
- 35:32Speaker 1: come into something whoever i'm talking to you might be
- 35:35Speaker 1: online throw your computer in the air Hit yourself over
- 35:38Speaker 1: the head with a pillar because God is about to
- 35:40Speaker 1: bring you into something. Somebody give me praise. I mean
- 35:44Speaker 1: old-fashioned Pentecostal Holy Ghost praise in this house.
- 35:47Speaker 2: Come on, Marcus. Come on. Give me praise in this house.
- 35:50Speaker 2: Give me praise. You hear that? You hear that?
- 36:09Speaker 1: You hear that? That's the way you praise when you
- 36:11Speaker 1: know you're not up. That's the way you praise when
- 36:14Speaker 1: you know God's got a future for you. That's the
- 36:16Speaker 1: way you praise when you know God is about to
- 36:19Speaker 1: unlock something for you. Oh, God. Oh, God, I feel
- 36:22Speaker 1: it in the room. I stopped preaching and started prophesying.
- 36:25Speaker 1: Somebody's about to step into something. Somebody's about to move
- 36:29Speaker 1: into new territory. If I'm talking to you, give.
- 36:31Speaker 2: Him a praise.
- 36:32Speaker 1: I don't care if you look like a fool. I
- 36:34Speaker 1: don't care if you look silly. I don't care if
- 36:36Speaker 1: you mess up your makeup. I don't care if you
- 36:38Speaker 1: tear your drawers. Give God a praise in this room.
- 36:42Speaker 1: I said, I said, give God a praise. And so
- 36:57Speaker 1: Naomi is about to leave and Ruth said, you ain't
- 37:02Speaker 1: leaving me.
- 37:07Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 37:08Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about.
- 37:12Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about.
- 37:15Speaker 1: That's the way you praise God. When you're telling hell,
- 37:20Speaker 1: I'm not staying where I was. That's the way you...
- 37:23Speaker 1: the fool in the house of God when you're rebuking
- 37:27Speaker 1: every devil that's trying to cement your feet to the
- 37:30Speaker 1: ground make some noise that's what I mean by noise
- 37:34Speaker 1: give God one more time one more time one more
- 37:37Speaker 1: time I'm going to give you another chance to tell
- 37:40Speaker 1: hell I'm not staying in Moab And so Ruth says
- 38:01Speaker 1: to her, can I catch a ride? Can I catch
- 38:05Speaker 1: a ride? Can I catch a ride? I'm going with you.
- 38:10Speaker 1: Naomi says, I can't have no more sons. She said, no,
- 38:13Speaker 1: it's not about your son. It's not about who touched
- 38:16Speaker 1: me last. It's not about who kissed me last. I
- 38:25Speaker 1: got a future if I got to have it by myself.
- 38:28Speaker 1: I got a future if I got to go alone.
- 38:30Speaker 1: I got a future if mama don't go, if daddy
- 38:32Speaker 1: don't go. If sister and brother don't go, I got
- 38:34Speaker 1: to go for myself. Am I talking to somebody? Thy
- 38:38Speaker 1: God shall be my God. Thy people shall be my people.
- 38:42Speaker 1: And where thou dwellest, I will dwell. And where thou diest,
- 38:46Speaker 1: I shall die. Chapter 2. Now Naomi is at home.
- 39:07Speaker 1: She has been an immigrant in Moab. Now she is
- 39:11Speaker 1: a resident in Bethlehem. All of her relatives live there.
- 39:16Speaker 1: She speaks the language. She knows how to cook the food.
- 39:20Speaker 1: She understands the music. And she dances like they dance.
- 39:28Speaker 1: I am not sorry. somebody that's home say I'm home
- 39:41Speaker 1: I'm home, I'm home. Isn't it funny how your spirit
- 39:43Speaker 1: knows when you're home? You know when you're there. Your
- 39:46Speaker 1: belly knows it. Your guts know it. Your smile knows it.
- 39:49Speaker 1: You're walking around with a silly grin on your face
- 39:52Speaker 1: because you know you're home. Look at somebody and say,
- 39:54Speaker 1: I'm home. Naomi, who was an immigrant, is now at home. Ruth,
- 40:02Speaker 1: who was a resident in Moab.
- 40:05Speaker 2: Is now an immigrant.
- 40:08Speaker 1: This is why Ruth is important and I'll be done.
- 40:13Speaker 1: If Ruth have not moved to Bethlehem, David would have
- 40:25Speaker 1: never been king. He would have not, his birth was
- 40:31Speaker 1: predicated on Ruth's courage to be an immigrant. It takes
- 40:38Speaker 1: courage to to be an immigrant. It takes courage to
- 40:43Speaker 1: come out of your familiar and be in an unfamiliar place.
- 40:47Speaker 1: It takes courage to walk into an atmosphere where you
- 40:51Speaker 1: don't have the beat and you don't understand the rhythm
- 40:55Speaker 1: and you don't understand the flow and you don't understand
- 40:57Speaker 1: the protocol. But the Lord sent me here with a
- 41:00Speaker 1: prophetic word. You are in chapter two. You have just
- 41:07Speaker 1: turned the page. You have just stepped into a revolution.
- 41:12Speaker 1: You have stepped into a new place. And you've got
- 41:15Speaker 1: to be prepared to approach it with the thoughts of
- 41:18Speaker 1: an immigrant. Everybody's been prophesying to you, telling you that
- 41:26Speaker 1: you're next. You're next and you're coming into your kingdom
- 41:30Speaker 1: and it's about to happen in your life. But what
- 41:32Speaker 1: they didn't tell you is your destiny always feels like immigration.
- 41:40Speaker 1: Because your destiny does not line up with your history.
- 41:45Speaker 2: So when you come into your destiny, you... When you.
- 41:52Speaker 2: My, my, my, shy.
- 41:53Speaker 1: When you come into your destiny, you're not going to
- 41:56Speaker 1: feel the sense of celebration that you expected because even
- 42:00Speaker 1: though you prayed.
- 42:01Speaker 2: For it and you asked for it, you're going to.
- 42:03Speaker 1: Feel funny in it because you step into it as
- 42:06Speaker 1: an immigrant. You come into it as an immigrant. Chapter two,
- 42:17Speaker 1: Ruth is now an immigrant. her destiny she she's an
- 42:27Speaker 1: immigrant in her prophecy when God gives you what he
- 42:32Speaker 1: told you he was gonna give you it's not gonna
- 42:35Speaker 1: feel like what you thought it was gonna feel like
- 42:41Speaker 1: I keep trying to teach people that success doesn't feel
- 42:44Speaker 1: successful Because when you first walk into it, it's going
- 42:48Speaker 1: to feel foreign. And if you're weak-minded, you're going to
- 42:51Speaker 1: go back. If you're not willing to feel strange for
- 42:56Speaker 1: a while. If you're not willing to have people looking
- 42:59Speaker 1: at you funny. If you're not willing to have people
- 43:01Speaker 1: rolling their eyes. If you're not willing to glean behind
- 43:05Speaker 1: the repose. But Ruth said, I may look funny. and
- 43:11Speaker 1: I may dress funny, and I may move funny, and
- 43:14Speaker 1: I may talk funny, but I ain't going nowhere. I
- 43:18Speaker 1: need some tough people now. You got to be tough
- 43:21Speaker 1: to be blessed. You got to be strong to be blessed.
- 43:24Speaker 1: It takes courage to be blessed. Right now, lift your hands.
- 43:28Speaker 1: Right now, I hereby declare and decree that you will
- 43:33Speaker 1: have the courage to walk in the door of that
- 43:36Speaker 1: God is about to open up for you. At the
- 43:39Speaker 1: end of this message, an opportunity is going to come
- 43:42Speaker 1: to you that is going to feel foreign, and it's
- 43:45Speaker 1: out of character, and it's out of your norm. But
- 43:49Speaker 1: I decree and declare that you will not back up
- 43:52Speaker 1: from it. You will step into it. You will seize it.
- 43:55Speaker 1: You will give birth in it. You will make it
- 43:58Speaker 1: your own in the name of Jesus. If you receive it,
- 44:02Speaker 1: receive it with a prayer. Receive it with a prayer.
- 44:08Speaker 1: Receive it with a prayer. Receive it with a praise.
- 44:12Speaker 1: You may be laying on your couch, but receive it
- 44:15Speaker 1: with a praise. You may be at your kitchen table,
- 44:18Speaker 1: but receive it with a praise. You may be watching
- 44:21Speaker 1: over your phone, but receive it with a praise. Praise
- 44:24Speaker 1: him until hell gets nervous. Praise him until demons tremble.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Praise him until sickness gets up off of you. Slap
- 44:34Speaker 1: your neighbor and say praise him. I just turned the page.
- 44:38Speaker 1: The devil should have killed me in chapter one. But
- 44:43Speaker 1: the devil is a liar. He's a liar. He's a liar.
- 44:49Speaker 1: He's a liar. I just turned the page. Everybody turn
- 44:54Speaker 1: the page. And you got to pray like you lost
- 44:58Speaker 1: your mind. I just turned the page. I just turned
- 45:08Speaker 1: the page. The reason I blocked your number is I

- 45:16Speaker 1: I just turned the page. Somebody shout in this house.
- 45:20Speaker 1: Make some noise in this house. This is the place.
- 45:35Speaker 1: This is the place where you give birth. This is
- 45:39Speaker 1: the place where the door is open. This is the place.
- 45:43Speaker 1: The Bible said she came in as an immigrant. None
- 45:48Speaker 1: of the other women would have nothing to do with her.
- 45:50Speaker 1: They were getting all that they could get going on
- 45:52Speaker 1: about the business. She said, that's all right. I'll catch
- 45:54Speaker 1: what I can. I'll grab what I can get. But
- 45:57Speaker 1: while she was moving, the Bible says she hopped up.
- 46:01Speaker 1: on Boaz's field.
- 46:03Speaker 2: Listen to that. She hopped up on Boaz's field.
- 46:06Speaker 1: You're just going to happen to be at the right
- 46:08Speaker 1: place at the right time and meet the right person.
- 46:11Speaker 1: You're just going to happen to be. Who am I
- 46:12Speaker 1: talking to? Who am I talking to? Your Holy Ghost
- 46:16Speaker 1: ought to let you know I'm talking to you. You're
- 46:18Speaker 1: just going to happen. It's just going to be happenstance.
- 46:20Speaker 1: You didn't plan it that way. You didn't expect it
- 46:22Speaker 1: that way. It just happened that way. Who am I
- 46:24Speaker 1: talking to? Make some noise. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 46:30Speaker 1: I want everybody in the room to shift. Change seats
- 46:33Speaker 1: with somebody. Change chairs with somebody. Change anything you got
- 46:37Speaker 1: to change. Tell them something has got to change. Something
- 46:40Speaker 1: has got to change. Something has got to move. Something
- 46:44Speaker 1: has got to flow. Something has got to break. I
- 46:47Speaker 1: can't stay where I was. I just turned the page.
- 46:51Speaker 1: Every yoke has got to break. Every wall has got
- 46:55Speaker 1: to come down.
- 46:56Speaker 2: Every barrier.
- 46:57Speaker 1: Oh, I feel like reaching I feel the power of
- 47:01Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost in this room. Somebody help me praise him.
- 47:17Speaker 1: I got this anointing on me and I can't get
- 47:19Speaker 1: it off. I need some 30 something, 40 something. Give
- 47:23Speaker 1: God some praise for me. Help me dance this off.
- 47:26Speaker 1: Help me shout this off. Help me lead this. Everybody
- 47:34Speaker 1: need to just leap forward. I'm going to leap into it.
- 47:40Speaker 1: I'm going to step into it.
- 47:42Speaker 2: I'm going to move into it. I'm going to flow
- 47:44Speaker 2: into it. Give him a praise. Come on, give him
- 48:01Speaker 2: a praise. Come on, give him.
- 48:03Speaker 1: I said, give him a praise. I said, give him
- 48:05Speaker 1: a praise. Don't make him take it. Give him a praise.
- 48:08Speaker 1: Give him a praise. Out of your belly. Out of
- 48:11Speaker 1: your spirit. Out of your soul. Open up your mouth
- 48:16Speaker 1: and give God a praise. Quickly, quickly, I got to
- 48:42Speaker 1: give you the rest of this prophecy. When she stepped,
- 48:50Speaker 1: she stepped, when she stepped on it, she didn't own it.
- 48:57Speaker 1: When she stepped on it, she didn't own it. She
- 49:01Speaker 1: was an immigrant. She wasn't even a rightful worker. She
- 49:05Speaker 1: was gleaning behind the reapers. And somebody saw her. Somebody
- 49:13Speaker 1: saw you.
- 49:15Speaker 2: For her, it was Boaz. She just happened.
- 49:46Speaker 1: Somebody is getting this word. I can feel it. I
- 49:48Speaker 1: can feel virtue going out to somebody. I can feel
- 49:51Speaker 1: the spirit of prosperity going into somebody. Who's pulling that
- 49:55Speaker 1: spirit of prosperity? Who's pulling it down? Who's pulling it down?
- 49:59Speaker 1: Who's pulling down that spirit of increase? Who's pulling it
- 50:02Speaker 1: down right now? Who is pulling it down? Who's pulling
- 50:06Speaker 1: down that spirit of influence? Who's pulling it down? You
- 50:10Speaker 1: just happened.
- 50:21Speaker 2: And this is the word of the Lord.
- 50:24Speaker 1: In chapter 2 in 3 verses she goes from working
- 50:34Speaker 1: in the field to owning the field That she used
- 50:46Speaker 1: to work in. Oh, y'all can't handle it. Let me
- 50:49Speaker 1: try y'all. Can y'all handle it over there? Can y'all
- 50:52Speaker 1: handle it over there? Do you believe that you could
- 50:54Speaker 1: start out working in something you're going to end up owning?
- 50:58Speaker 1: Do you believe that? Do you believe that you could
- 51:00Speaker 1: start out catching whatever they left for you? The Bible
- 51:07Speaker 1: said that they are handfuls on purpose. And she was
- 51:12Speaker 1: just catching whatever they dropped.
- 51:14Speaker 2: Not complaining. Didn't get mad, didn't get bitter.
- 51:18Speaker 1: Wasn't spiteful. She was just catching whatever they dropped. Just
- 51:21Speaker 1: glad to be in the number. She was an immigrant.
- 51:26Speaker 1: She was an immigrant in a field of dreams. She
- 51:36Speaker 1: was an immigrant. Anybody who saw where she came from
- 51:41Speaker 1: would not make a connection with where she is. Anybody
- 51:47Speaker 1: who saw what you used to be would not make
- 51:52Speaker 1: a connection with where you are. And that's why you
- 52:02Speaker 1: don't complain about nothing. Whatever they drop, you just go.
- 52:05Speaker 2: Ahead and take it up.
- 52:06Speaker 1: You're just grateful because you got the spirit of an immigrant.
- 52:09Speaker 1: You're going to do whatever you have to do to
- 52:10Speaker 1: pull up, to get up on your feet. You're just
- 52:13Speaker 1: working whatever door God opens you, just go through it.
- 52:16Speaker 1: And somebody saw her. And all of a sudden she
- 52:20Speaker 1: ends up married to the owner of the field. Which
- 52:26Speaker 1: by virtue of that marriage makes her own the field
- 52:31Speaker 1: she used to work in. Now, I'm finished all of this.
- 52:36Speaker 1: The Holy Ghost told me to tell somebody in this room.
- 52:41Speaker 1: Own it.
- 52:46Speaker 2: Watch this.
- 52:49Speaker 1: The Holy Ghost said, own it. You've been playing with it.
- 52:55Speaker 1: You've been visiting it. You've been hoping for it. You've
- 52:59Speaker 1: been praying for it.
- 53:02Speaker 2: Own it.
- 53:04Speaker 1: You're already in it. You're already doing it. But in
- 53:07Speaker 1: your head, you ain't owned it. Let me tell you
- 53:09Speaker 1: why you haven't owned it yet. What day I see
- 53:12Speaker 1: you about time. Because you're scared it's going to leave.
- 53:21Speaker 1: And you can't totally settle into it because you're afraid
- 53:25Speaker 1: of it. If it looks like I'm looking at you,
- 53:29Speaker 1: I am. You're afraid it.
- 53:33Speaker 2: Won't stay.
- 53:37Speaker 1: You're afraid it won't last. You're afraid it's not real.
- 53:43Speaker 1: And you don't want to be hurt again. And you
- 53:46Speaker 1: don't want to be disappointed anymore. And you don't want
- 53:49Speaker 1: to go through any more heartache. And you're scared to relax.
- 53:57Speaker 1: You already know what you're going to do. But you're
- 54:01Speaker 1: afraid to own it. Because of the intensity of the
- 54:09Speaker 1: rejections of your past.
- 54:23Speaker 2: You take the bowels, you get the applause, but you
- 54:25Speaker 2: won't own it.
