  In the Book of Psalms, chapter one, oh, uh, Psalms 1 0 3, verse one through five, Psalms chapter 1 0 3, verse one through five.
• 1:11
  That's all we are gonna deal with today, and we are gonna deal with the Lord's benefit.
• 1:17
  First thing he says is, bless the Lord my soul, and all that is within me talking the spirit.
• 1:24
  Now.
• 1:25
  Bless his holy name.
• 1:27
  Bless the Lord my soul.

  And do not forget any.
• 1:31
  Of his benefits.
• 1:33
  That's what we talking about now, the Lord's benefits.
• 1:36
  Who pardons all your guilt?
• 1:40
  Who heals all your disease?
• 1:44
  Who redeems your life from the pit?
• 1:47
  Who crowns you with favor and compassion, who satisfy your years with good things so that your youth is renewed like the ego?
• 2:00
  Or we about to talk now, but I'm gonna break some things down and what we just covered, and I wanna show you the Lord Word in action.
• 2:11
  See when you talk about benefits, we talk about protection.
• 2:13
  He said, I'll dispatch my angels to protect you.
• 2:17
  I remember one day it was a dark net and I could feel the evil in the night.
• 2:22
  And as I was driving and my son says, daddy, can I drive?
• 2:25
  'cause he's just at the age where he got his permit.
• 2:28
  And I said, no, it's too dark and this is a evil night.
• 2:32
  I can fence it.
• 2:34
  And as I was driving home, I remember being behind this car and he was going.
• 2:40
  Slow and I couldn't pass'cause I couldn't see to get around.
• 2:45
  Sometimes you don't even understand how powerful the Lord protection is.
• 2:50
  And lo and behold, I saw the brake light come on the car and I stopped.
• 2:56
  And as I stopped because the car in front of me stopped, I got out to see what was going on.
• 3:02
  And the lady is in panic.
• 3:06
  She said, I hit a deer.
• 3:09
  And I said, okay, not a problem.
• 3:10
  So I went in the front and looked to see where the dead, how, how much damage was to the car, and she did not hit a deer.
• 3:18
  She hit a man on a m head.
• 3:23
  And I said, ma'am, calm down.
• 3:26
  I says, there was a person that you hit and I'm having my son call 9 1 1 and as my son is calling 9 1 1, I'm talking to the man and I'm telling him because part of his face has already been ripped off.
• 3:42
  I'm telling him you're gonna be all right.
• 3:45
  Help is on the way.
• 3:47
  You are gonna be all right.
• 3:48
  Help is on the way.
• 3:49
  We talking about protection.
• 3:50
  If I had passed that car, I would've been the one that have hit this man on a moped.
• 3:57
  What am I telling you?
• 3:59
  I have watched the protection of God over and over in my life.
• 4:04
  We talking about the Lord benefit, guilt.
• 4:09
  I've done wrong things and made wrong decisions.
• 4:12
  I made wrong choices.
• 4:14
  I've hurt people.
• 4:15
  That's why I always say hurting people, hurt people.
• 4:18
  But what he has done is he has let me know I'm going to give you compassion.
• 4:23
  Yes, I know you've done wrong, but you've done it in ignorance.
• 4:28
  Disease.
• 4:28
  When I had a stroke in my left eye, the Lord healed it.
• 4:32
  The Lord heals my headache constantly.
• 4:34
  The Lord healed my broken leg.
• 4:36
  The Lord healed me from things and illness that I had.
• 4:40
  The Lord healed me from the mental issues and the things that have went through in my life.
• 4:44
  We are talking about the Lord's benefit.
• 4:46
  See, people don't talk about this because to be here, you gotta get to a point to realize that the Lord is the Lord.
• 4:55
  He's gonna take care of you.
• 4:56
  He's gonna do what his word said he is going to do.
• 5:00
  But we talking about redeems.
• 5:02
  He redeemed me.
• 5:03
  He redeems those spoken words that was wrong, that was evil.
• 5:08
  He redeems us from the curse that we have put on our life, or people have put on our life, or people have cursed us, but he has redeemed us.
• 5:16
  He redeemed us from the bad choices that we have made in our life.
• 5:20
  That's why we are talking about the Lord.
• 5:23
  Benefit favor.
• 5:26
  He's talking about favor means not only about the jobs, which is great, but the house, the cars, the relationships.
• 5:34
  My wife, the woman of my dream.
• 5:36
  I could not ask for a better wife.
• 5:38
  We talking about the laws benefit.
• 5:41
  He said, I will give you the desires of your heart.
• 5:46
  He's compassionate.
• 5:47
  We talking about grace.
• 5:48
  He says, I understand that you are not but dust.
• 5:52
  So I understand why you are where you at, but I also want you to start to move into who you are.
• 5:59
  So that's why he can be compassionate.
• 6:01
  I always think about my kids, how compassionate we are, even when they make a mistake.
• 6:07
  'cause we've been there.
• 6:10
  When he talk about years, we talking about good things, the blessing, the peace, the joy.
• 6:16
  See when you can start walking in these things here, and I'm talking about joy, that's unspeakable.
• 6:21
  When I say sometime I tear up, I tear up because I know it ain't, but God.
• 6:26
  I didn't have a chance.
• 6:27
  He said, I picked the lowest things of this world and I confound it.
• 6:30
  To Wise.
• 6:31
  We talking about having peace in the midst of all the stuff that goes on.
• 6:34
  He said, I'll give you peace in the midst of all people.
• 6:37
  When they lie on you and they say bad things about you, you can still have peace.
• 6:41
  We can talk in about years.
• 6:43
  You gonna do your knees?
• 6:45
  Now we talk about youth.
• 6:48
  Sometime you get back around people and you be talking about classmates and I or people you used to, or you've been around or you come back home or whatever the reason is you, uh, in a better shape and a, and you look better than most of them.
• 7:03
  Why?
• 7:03
  He said, I knew you.
• 7:05
  Like your years are going backwards when everybody is fast forwarding.
• 7:11
  We talking about the lowest benefit I, I know sometimes we don't look at it that way, but he says, I will renew your years.
• 7:19
  I will renew your life.
• 7:21
  I will make your ladder better than your beginning.
• 7:25
  We talking about the Lord's benefit.
• 7:27
  I just wanted to give you a tip of what goes on in real worship.
• 7:34
  I wanted to show you about real protection.
• 7:38
  I can go on and on, but to finish up the story about the man that was hit.
• 7:43
  I'm praying for him and talking to him.
• 7:47
  I said, Lord, just let him hold on long enough till help comes.
• 7:52
  And he's held on and he's talking, and I'm calming him down, but I can't move him.
• 8:00
  Why?
• 8:00
  Because he's been hit and he's, and, and the trauma he went through is massive.
• 8:08
  What am I telling you?
• 8:09
  The Lord protected me from doing something that I, I, it would've last with me forever.
• 8:17
  But to go on with that, soon as the ambulance, the cops got there first and then the ambulance got there.
• 8:23
  As soon as they put him on the, the, the scratcher on the, the, the, they carry him out.
• 8:28
  He goes in cardiac arrest and they got all the equipment and they're working on him.
• 8:32
  And then I move on.
• 8:33
  Why am I telling you this?
• 8:35
  But that's not the only time I remember getting ready to go walk on the beach.
• 8:39
  As I was driving, the Holy Spirit said, stop.
• 8:42
  Okay.
• 8:42
  I ain't got a question that I stopped.
• 8:44
  I'm in the middle of the road.
• 8:45
  I stopped and I got outta my car and looked in the front, and there's a man that's about to touch my tire.
• 8:55
  If I didn't listen to the Holy Spirit, I would've killed this man.
• 8:59
  No, ain't no, uh, ain't no, that ain't no doubt.
• 9:01
  Doubt.
• 9:01
  And I, I thought he was dead.
• 9:05
  I ran to the store, which is about maybe a hundred yards away, and I said, call 9 1 1.
• 9:11
  There's a man dead in the road.
• 9:13
  And I had my flash on and I came back to the car and I'm just waiting for the cops, waiting for the ambulance.
• 9:20
  And I, as I was waiting, I'm thinking, God, that I didn't hit this dead man.
• 9:26
  Lo and behold, the cops got there.
• 9:29
  He stood by me and he says, man, you are lucky you didn't hit him.
• 9:32
  I said, I didn't see him.
• 9:33
  I said, I was just told to stop and I stopped because he's under my car.
• 9:38
  I didn't hit him, but he's under my car.
• 9:40
  And the EMS come and they're about to roll him over so they can check, you know, check and do all the things they do.
• 9:47
  And the man got and ran.
• 9:49
  When he got up and ran, now they're running behind him and I'm looking like, what is going on here?
• 9:58
  He wasn't dead.
• 10:01
  He was on the road trying to get warm from the heat of the road and somebody could have killed him, but thank God I can, and thank God I was obedient and allowed him to live.
• 10:18
  Find another day.
• 10:20
  We talking about the Lord's benefit, if nobody else believes, and I'm fine with that.
• 10:25
  Oh, I can't do nothing but believe because he's done too much thing for me to doubt his word, and that is the word of God.
• 10:33
  And.
