  Speaker 6: be an amazing, amazing second half of the summer. We've
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: got Love Week coming up the last week of July.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: We're gonna serve our communities.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: We've got youth X still hanging over in the room.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: I feel it, man, But wasn't it amazing turning up
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: in the monitors a little bit? Wasn't it amazing? Wasn't
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: it incredible? Didn't God move kids getting saved, set free, delivered, healed,
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: called up higher. Thank you for your ministry to the
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: next generation. Thank you for our ministry that's going forth
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: with our pop ups all summer long. Chad, We've got
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: another pop up coming to Charleston, South Carolina. I think
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: next week it's gonna be two weeks. It's going to
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: be a very busy summer. I planned to preach my
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: first sermon this week because we've had amazing guest preachers,
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: haven't We had some amazing guests, some.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Of our in house preachers.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: And I thought, well, I'll preach to the youth Wednesday night,
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: which I did, and then I'll come back and preach.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: But something happened.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: I kind of wanted, well, what I thought would be
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: cool is can I just come to church and here
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: a guest preacher? But I didn't have one lined up.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: And I was thinking about that and praying about that.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: And Saturday, as I was thinking and praying about that,
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: last Saturday that is, I got a text and the
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: text was from Bishop TD Jakes. Now, so this guy
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: said to me the other day, he said, are you
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: back in the pulpit? Preaching this week. I said, I'm
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: back in the pulpit, but I'm not preaching. He looked disappointed.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: That made me feel good. You always want people to
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: be a little disappointed when you say you're not coming back.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: But then I said, but would you be interested if
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: I told you that Bishop td Jakes is going to
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: preach for me instead?
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: So here's what happened.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I think you all know that he is not
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: only my preaching hero, but he has been one of
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: the closest friends that I could ask for. How many
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: times have I frantically sent him a text message on
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: Saturday night to ask him if my theology was incorrect
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: on a sermon I was about to preach to you,
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: or did he have a better title for it, or
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: could he just come preach it for me? Well, last
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: Saturday he said, I'm going to be in Charlotte if
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: you want to have dinner Sunday night, And I said,
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Sunday night, So what are you doing Sunday morning?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I started doing the math.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: I figured he might be open, and I said, would
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: you be willing to come and preach to our people?
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: I would love for them to hear from you as
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: we celebrate this twentieth year of ministry.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: There's no voice we'd rather hear than yours.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And here's what's cool.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: Before he comes, before he comes and just abs absolutely
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: blesses us like only he can. Yeah, don't skip Sunday's
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: at Elevation Church.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: You never know what godall do for you.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: That's the moral of the story.
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: You better log on, you know. Just last Sunday, Bishop Jakes,
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: after over thirty years of pastoring the Potter's House in Dallas,
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: transitioned the church to the leadership of his daughter and
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: his son in law, Pastor Terray and Sarah Roberts. So
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: I told him this is his first Sunday as a
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: free agent, and I wanted to take the moment right
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: now on video to officially extend the offer that Bishop Jakes,
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: we know you're still going to be very busy changing
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: the world and completely redeveloping economies and feeding entire villages
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: and changing the trajectory of our nation's political structure, and
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: preaching and teaching and doing all the things that you do.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: We know that you've got so much more to do.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: But Bishop Jakes, I know you're back there listening to me.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: If you're looking for a vacation Church a place where
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: you can come and preach anytime and the people will
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: just absolutely love to have you.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: A church where you don't have to manage the.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: Staff or pay the bills, but you can just come preach.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: We want you to know Elevation Church considers ourself the
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: official vacation church of the greatest preacher of our time,
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: the one, the only, the incomparable, Bishop Feeajer.
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: These are my friends. They're not just my brother and
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: my sister. You don't get to picture brother and sister.
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: They're also my friends. And I love you right back.
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: Aren't you glad you're in here today? Aren't you happy
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: to be here? How many people are happy to be here?
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: Make some noise? If you're happy to be here, I
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: want you to do something now that we have praised
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: the Lord and given him glory and clapped. You know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: I always have to change my clap because you'll clap
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: on the beat and we clap in between the beat,
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: and so if I don't change my beat, we sound
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: like popcorns. But we have a great time sounding like
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: for popcorn because God said, make a joy for noise
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: unto the Lord, and it can be syncopated it can
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: be together, It doesn't. He just loves rust to make noise.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: Come on, let's just make some noise. Yeah yeah, like that, Yeah,
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: like that, until the hazels get jealous, until the demons
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: start to tremble, until the person begins to flee. Let
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: everything that have breath praise me the Lord. Yeah, that's
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: what I'm talking about. Now that you clap your hands
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: and you praise the Lord and you sound like popcin.
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: Your hair's all over your head. You got a little
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: bit of sweat breaking out on you. Turn around and
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: hug somebody. Yeah, yeah, get that anointed sweat on him. Yeah,
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: let the presence of God over shaper him. Seeing pressus
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: Steven Holly, I love you. I'm grateful to God for
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: this great church. They're wonderful. I love you bad. Isn't
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: there wonderful to being here just to sing and be
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: with other believers and people who love the Lord like
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: you do. And there's an excitement that's contagious. You know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: it's contagious, like like like grief or anything. It's contagious.
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: You see somebody crying, you start crying, even though you
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: don't know the person that they're crying about. You just
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: start crying because they're crying. And then you're crying, and
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: then you say, why am I crying? You don't know
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: why you're crying, but you're crying. Because it's contagious. And
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: when we laugh, we start laughing together. Sometimes we didn't
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: even see what happened. But if everybody starts laughing in
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: the room, we start laughing. And so the joy of
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: the Lord is contagious. The Bible say, rejoice with them
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: that do rejoice, And so it's contagious. You can come
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: in here and not even be one of us, not
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: even be a Christian. But if you come in here,
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: it's contagion you you'll find yourself, you know, you know,
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: So that's good. The problem is we can't stay here,
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: we can't live here. Like the priest who went into
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: the holies of Holies and found the sanctuary of got
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: the presence of God, the Chicana glory falling in the
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: middle of the desert, they could only go in there
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: a day. They had to spend the rest of the
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: days in the outer court, because that's where the work
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: is done. And so what I want to talk to
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: you today about, it's where the work is done, not
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: where the joy is felt, or the dance goes forth,
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: or the people do some of y'all was doing the
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: watusi or something. Y'all make up a dance. I love y'all.
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: Y'all don't have no dance, just you know, and God
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: loves it. God just spends around on the throng because
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: you're just giving him to go. All of that is good,
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: But I want to get beyond all of that and
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: beneath all of that, and I want to peel that
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: back like it's an onion, and I want to get
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: down to the part of you that the Holy Spirit
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: wants to do something in. So today today, so used
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: to preaching at night, I said, today, I want to
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: talk to you about the power to change your mind.
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: The power to change your mind. At the time they're
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: trying to put chips in our heads, and at the
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: time they're trying to put things into our hands so
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: that we can go to the grocery store and buy
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: stuff we don't need. So the hand can be so
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: fat and can't read the chip. You'll get it later,
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: don't worry better. At a time that everybody's getting all
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: in our refrigerator and Wi Fi controls it stuff that
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: it doesn't need to. I mean, my iron really doesn't
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: need Wi Fi. But some kind of way, my iron
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: has Wi Fi so that when I'm earning my shirt,
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: somebody knows it and it's stored in the cloud. All
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: the wrinkles are stored in the cloud. At a time
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: like that, I've got to do the work of understanding
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: what God wants from me. Go with me quickly to
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: the Book of Romans, Chapter twelve, verse one through twelve.
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: Is very easy and very simple, but I want to
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: share it with you today. And I wrote it down
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: because I'm old and I can't remember stuff like I
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: used to. Yeah, I'm a free man. You know. I
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: loved it. But I'm glad that my daughter and my
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: son in law who has grabbed the reins and allowed
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: me to get out and see y'all on a Sunday morning.
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: Isn't that cool? I feel like a giraffe let out
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: a cage or something.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: Romans twelve, first one through twelve, and stand for me
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: for the reading other word, would you just for a minute.
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: And I read King James. Not that it's holy or anything,
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: but I read it because it's old like me. Okay,
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: And I like old stuff sometimes, so I like the
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: Elizabethan Elizabethan type language that makes the scripture sounds so
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: prose and poetic and powerful. And you can almost hear
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: Gauds speaking to you by the way it talks by him. Therefore,
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: let us offer the sacrifice of praise the power of it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: It just sounds nice, and nowhere is it anymore blatant
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: than it is. And this text Romans twelve and one,
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: when the apostle Paul, who is revered by all the
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: thinkers of his age, who speaks in a multiplicity of languages,
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: who is accepted in the courts of the wise men
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: of his era, who has traveled by sea and by
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: land to reach and to touch various parts of the
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: world with the influence that he has, who has at
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: one time been a Christian killer and terror, has been
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: a terrorist against the Kingdom of God, has had a
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: Damascus Road experience by which he has to be willing
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: to forsake some of the admiration to be into the
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: will of God. That Paul, who is of the tribe
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: of Benjamin, that Paul who is a Pharisee of Pharisees,
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: that Paul who is responsible for most of the New
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: Testament that without the Apostle Paul, we wouldn't we wouldn't
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: have the fivefold Ministry, we wouldn't have the nine fruits
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: of the Spirit. We wouldn't have the nine gifts of
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: the Spirit. We wouldn't have so many the mystery of
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: Godliness we would know that. Behold, I show you a mystery.
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: We shall all sleep, and we shall all be changed.
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: This dude is bad. Okay, this dude's bad. If you
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: take Paul out of the New Testament, it becomes a
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: comic book. That's how small has left all the other books.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: I don't know whether they got tired of writing, or
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: their fingers heard, or they didn't afford any ink, but
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: they didn't write nearly as much. Except for Hebrews, they
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: didn't write nearly as much as Apostle Paul gives us
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: most of our understanding of what we are supposed to
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: be in this age and this era, and we get
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: to hear what he is saying, as he has had
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: an encounter with God like us, not like Luke or
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: Mark or Matthew, where they actually got to walk with Jesus.
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: He has had an experience with God that has made
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: him no God, because he has had an experience and
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: invisible experience, invisible, invisible that left him blind, and he
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: learned to walk by faith, not by sight. And he
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: wasn't there with any woman with his your blood touching
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: him of his garment got here. He didn't get to
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: see Lazar come out of the grave. He didn't get
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: to see all the good stuff. He missed it. All
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: he had was a great light hitting and the light
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: was so strong that it mesmerized and gave him the
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: ability to change his life and to be willing to
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: forsake how people think about him. It takes courage to
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: be willing to change the way people think about you
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: and not be bothered by it, not to seek their
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: approval or their validation, in order to be able to stand.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: That's who's talking to us. And he has come from
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: his lofty clouds of intellectualism down to the low places
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: of saying, I beseech you there for a brethren, which
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: means I beg you, the great Man bade I beg
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: you there for brethren, by the mercies of God, that
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: which is your reasonable service, and be not conformed to
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: this world. But be ye transformed by the renewing of
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: your mind. Be you transformed by the renewing of your mind.
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: Be you transformed. Don't just take on a form, but
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Don't
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: fake the fun. Be Ye transformed by the renewing of
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: your mind. Don't just jump because I'm jumping. Be Ye
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: transformed by the renewing of your mind. Have the kind
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: of faith that lasts past Sunday morning. Be Ye transform
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: by the renewing of your mind. You mean I can
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: have a new mind. You mean I can literally be
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: responsible for changing my mind, the place that holds my
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: past and my doubts and my fears and my trauma,
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: and my insecurity and my rejection and my adversity and
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: my self loathing and my uncertainty about I can change that.
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: You mean it's possible that I can lose the imposture
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: syndrome and be as happy on Monday as I act
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: like I am on Sunday.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: You mean it's possible.
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: You mean it's possible I can walk through my house
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: and be singing out of tune, and me and God
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: can be having a good time, and I can really
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: be happy and not just be happy for you and
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: happy around you, and happy because you're looking at me.
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: You mean it's actually possible that I can lay down
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: and rest at night and feel like the angels.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Have ropped me to sleep.
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: You mean it's possible that I can live without fear
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: and terror and the feeling that something bad is about
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: to happen at any.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Moment in my life.
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: You mean it's possible for me not to hate my nose,
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: or dislike my lips, or hate the way my eyes
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: are made. You mean it's possible that I could be
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: transformed by the renewing of my mind.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Now you're talking.
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: About some amazing he says, be ye, transformed by the
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Because
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: you can never prove the value of Christianity as long
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: as you give me a facade of jubilants and go
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: home to be a person. Because when I see your facade,
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: I cannot connect with you because I cannot relate to you.
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: I can only relate to you when I see you
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: go through hard stuff and painful stuff, and you get
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: mad and stuff gets on your nerves and you're afraid
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: of heights, and the spider comes out and you jump
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: on top of the couch. I can only relate to
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: you when you do kent kind of stuff. I can't
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: relate to your Superman. Come on, somebody, your Superman's self.
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: I want to meet you. I want to meet you
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: where you're at. I want to go where you are.
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Sweet
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: holy Spirit, Come come into this place.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: And do what you want to do.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: Throw your weight around and show the devil who's boss.
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: I thank you because you're gone all by yourself and
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: you can do anything but fail. Take over this building,
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: and take over this place, and rip away all the
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: ugly facades that we put on the projector and the
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: image of you, a form of gunt that's denying the
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: power thereof, and strip us down to who we really are.
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: For when you called Adam, you call Adam, Where art thou?
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: I don't want your impostor. I don't want you who
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: you pretend to be.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: I want who you are.
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: Come out here where I can see you. Stop hiding
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: in between the leaves and the trees of religion and
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: come out where we can have a conversation. You mean,
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: oh God, do it for us. In the name of Jesus.
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: We pray somebody who's got a loud mouth, and you
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: holler at your children, shout a man at the problem. Yeah, yeah,
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: I knew I liked you. I knew I liked you
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: because we gave it on your nerves. Every now and
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: then you tell us sit down, and you don't quote
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: those scriptures that you don't sing, no songs.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: You tell them, just sit down.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: You see it.
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: Let's go to work. Everywhere I go, there travels everywhere
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: I go. We we we The place where we struggle
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: is not so much conversion, it's transformation. We have the
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: conversion down pad. We know how to lead you to Jesus.
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: We know how to skip, and we know how to dance,
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: and we know how to do this my daughter, right,
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: We know how to do this real good. We know
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: how to have conversion. But we go home to wrestle
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: with the inability to have transformation. And it takes so
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: much energy to have conversion. With our transformation. Now, he
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: begs us, by the mercies of God, that we present
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: our bodies a living sacrifice, and when our Western when
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: our Western mind here is this Eastern phrase. We don't
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: know what a sacrifice is, but a sacrifice is not
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: a pretty sight. It's where an animal stretched east and
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: west and north and south and tied to the altar
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: and slayed with a knife to catch some blood in
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: a trough and set on fire. He says, I want
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: you to do that to you. No wonder he's begging,
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: because I don't know anybody in here who's running up
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: here trying to take the knife. I don't know about
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: anybody in here that wants to be burned. Whether you're
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: a Republican or a Democrat, or black or white, or
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: gray or green, or in between, or you don't care.
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: It doesn't make any difference. None of us want to
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: be burned. I don't see anybody saying, you know, send
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: me to Hell.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I go. I need a son tan.
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: Anyway, he has asked me to present my body, which
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: is never done in the Old Testament. You never see
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: a lamb kill himself. Wow, you never see a goat
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: commit suicide. All the sacrifices that have been offered up
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: to God in the past did not come of their
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: own accord. They were drug to the slaughter. They were
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: grabbed and tied by the hands, they were nailed down,
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: and they were squirming, and they died blading and bleeding.
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: And it's an ugly business, because freedom is always an
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: ugly business. The truth of the matter, his Christianity is
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: not pretty. Anything that represents itself through the icon of
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: a cross a place of execution. It was execution to
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: the Romans, non crucifixion. To be nailed to a bloody cross,
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: striped naked, in front of everybody you've been teaching three
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: years is a little troubling. I'm glad my pants are
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: held up. I pulled my belt real tight before I
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: came out here because of all the things I have
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: to worry about in my life, I do not want
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: to have to worry about my pants falling down. And
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: one thank you of me in that condition. I love
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: these pants. They cover my shit, They cover my body,
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: and this shirt it paints my body. And you really
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: don't get to see me, but you see what I'm wearing.
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: But the problem is God doesn't like fig leaves, and
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: he doesn't like to be covered. He wants to be
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: brought open. And we have this thing about us. Now
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: we get saved our spirit, instantly born again, born.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Of the spirit.
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: When we accept Christ as our savior, we're instantly born
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: again changed. Right then we have an amazing experience with
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: God that changes a lot of habits and stuff about
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: us that needs to be changed, and maybe stopped us
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: from committing suicide and hurting ourselves. It's great stuff. But
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: then we have to go home and live it out.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: We have to in our living room with bills and
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: stuff and lay it off a job and broken in
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: our heart and living with somebody who gets on our
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: nerves and try to act like they don't get on
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: our nerves, but they're getting on our nerves. And we
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: have to have personality. And it's hard to have personality
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: when you have idiosyncrasies. I wish we came with warning labels.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: I would love for God to put warning labels on
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: our forehead. Hello, my name is Mary. I'm crazy as
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: a drunk beg bug. Don't buy the fact that I'm
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: cute and that I got nice eyes, because my eyes
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: roll up in my head and I turn into the
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: cooking monster. I am scared of people, and I don't
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: like to be in crowds. I don't like to talk
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: to when except when I want to talk, and I'll
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: tell you when I want to talk. And then when
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: I talk, I want to talk about stuff that doesn't
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: make any difference. And I want you to listen and
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: think it's important and respond the way I like to
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: have you respond, because if you don't respond the way
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: I like you to respond, it's going to be hell up.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: In this house.
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: It's gonna be absolute war up in this house. It's
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: gonna be trouble up in this house because it's not Sunday,
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: it's Wednesday. It's Wednesday, and you make me sick. That's
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: where Christ wants to go into our personality and figuring
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: out how to get down past all the other stuff.
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: He says, present your body a living sacrifice, And how
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: do I tie myself?
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: How do.
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: How do I tie myself down? A little sacrifice? And
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: the truth of the matter is there are hundreds of
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: people in this room in one way or other who
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: is trying desperately to tie up themselves. But how can
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: I tie this hand and then have another hand loose
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: to tie this hand? And don't get me started talking
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: about these feet I got. This is not going to
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: be easy. I beseech you there for brethren, by the
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: mercies of God, that you present your body a living,
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: holy and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: And be not conformed. Don't you be conformed to the
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: world and go the way that they're going to Stop
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: scrolling a minute. Don't be conformed to the world and
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: the way it's if you stop, stop all the year AI.
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: Don't be conformed to the world and the way the
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: world is going and bragging about how many gigabytes and
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: how much power and how much this, and how their
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: algorithms were. Don't be conformed to the news and the
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: media and the people and the personalities and the politics.
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: Don't be conformed. Don't be conformed to this world. Don't
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: be And we do the very thing he said not
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: to do. We are conformed to this world, to this world.
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: Have you ever I turned off the news sometimes just
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: because I'm tired of hearing bad stuff against me. Nightmares
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: makes me scared to sleep at night. I hear about
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: all that stuff. I pray, but I got to learn
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: how to release it because I am not designed to
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: carry that much pain on the inside. We popular, Contrary
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: to popular belief, we were not created with Apple phones
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: in our pocket. God did not mean for millions of
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: people to walk around in your pocket talking about what's
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: wrong with their life and what they don't like about you,
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: and how you should fix your hair and you would
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: look better if you were blonde. God did not design
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: us to be inundated with other people's opinion. To the
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: point we care to hear what's going on because so
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: much noise is coming from the outside that we cannot
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: find the peaceful place to work on who we really are,
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: to become what He created us to be. No wonder,
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: he's looking for us. No wonder, the eyes of the
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: Lord go to and fro throughout the earth to show
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: himself strong, trying to find somebody that he can use.
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: No wonder, God is searching in the cool of the morning,
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: looking for Adam in the garden, and he can't find
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: him because when he created him, he created him to
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: look like God. He created him to be his mirror.
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: He created him to be his reflection. He created it
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: just so he could see what he looked like. He
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: re created himself so there would be unity between heaven
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: and earth, between holy and holy, between divine and divine,
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: between spotless and spotless. He created him without a sin.
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: He created him without a lustful thought or a hateful idea,
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: or a person he wanted to choke till late turn blue.
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: He did not create him like that. He created him
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: to be a reflection of his love and his compassion
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: and his grace, and for him to literally reflect the
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: personality of God in the earth.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: And that's what he wants for you, to really reflect
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: the personality.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Of God in Earth. And that's why Hell hates you.
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: That's why Hell attacks you early in your life to
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: make sure that your personality is not the personality of God.
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: He knows what God wants to do in your life,
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: and he has to start the plot early. See, it
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: hasn't hit you yet that you're a world changer, that
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: you're a giant killer, that you're a mountain mover, that
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: you were meant to walk on water, that you are
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: ahead and not the tail above and not beneath, an overcomer.
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: It hasn't hit you yet that you can command oceans
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: and mountains and sees and waves. It hadn't hit you
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: yet that you can stop the sun in the middle
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: of there and say be still while I fight. It
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: hadn't hit you yet, that the power of life and
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: death is in your tall and that whatsoever you say,
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: you can have it. He wants to catch you early
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: where you are fragile and frail and not sure of
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: yourself and not stabilized in your hormative years, when your
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: brain is still pliable and falling and able to be
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: shaped like clay in the hand of Whoever touched him and.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Who touched me wasn't always God.
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: Who touched me. Wasn't always God who made me the mad,
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: angry woman I am.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Was not God who made me the distant aloof cold man.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: I am was not God. God. It is not the problem.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: God is cool. I'm down for God. I'm down for Jesus.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: It's all the people who touched me before he did.
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: It is not my destiny that I'm worried about. It
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: is the contamination of my history. And to be transformed.
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: To be transformed, is to take away the effects of
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: my history. So I come to church to hear about
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: my destiny, and my destiny sounds so wonderful, and he's good,
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: and he's wonderful, and he's good all the time, and
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: everything's wonderful, and bless the name of the Lord and
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: come into his house with thanksgiving. It's wonderful. And they
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: tell me about my destiny. I'm a mountain mover, I'm
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: an overcomer. I've got the power of God in me
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: to tell me about my my destiny. They tell me
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: that my mouth can't speak, and things can change. They
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: tell me about my destiny. But when I leave the
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: parking lot, I drive smack dab into my history right,
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: And my history contaminates. My history contaminates my destinies. That
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: kool aid changes water like wine changes. When fermentity my destiny,
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: my whole stuff comes creeping up into my new stuff.
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: And I wrestle with my whole stuff and my new stuff,
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: and they are posed one to the other. And when
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: I would do good, evil as present that which I
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: would do, I do not old wretched man that I am,
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: who should deliver me from the body. That I'm a
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: great deacon. But I'm a wretched man. I'm a great believer.
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: But you'd have to marry me to find out. I'm
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: a broken man. Yeah. See, when you dated him, he
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: was perfect, and you dated her. She told you if
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: you needed anything, she'd take care of you. At three
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: o'clock in the morning and everything was wonderful, and you
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: married their representative, and you said, you said, you walked
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: up there like a dummy and said I do to
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: somebody you haven't met yet. And before you know, you've
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: done it, you've done it. You do what you've done
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: until you've done what you do, and you did it,
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: You done what you did. When you do what you're done,
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: when somebody you don't even know for the first three years,
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: little by little you peel the onion down and get
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: past the superficial and find out their quirkiness, their craziness,
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: their procrastination, their indifference, they're missing Dad syndrome, their critical
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: mother syndrome, and quote all the scriptures you will. You
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: cannot get that out of their person now. Their personality.
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: Personality is not spiritual reality. I didn't marry your spirit.
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: Your spirit is holy and perfect and complete before God.
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: I didn't marry your spirit.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: I married you.
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: Your persy. And now I am trying to be trying
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: to figure out what's going on. You know, Can I
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: take him in there?
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: I took my son to Spain because he came at
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: a time that I had to go overseas anyway, and
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: I took my son in Spain, and I was so
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: glad to take him places that my father only read
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: about him books, and it had never been in themselves.
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: I took him to Spain. It was amazing. We had
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: a great time in Spain. I had never taken him
• 38:43
  Speaker 7: to Spain before. And then they told me we were
• 38:46
  Speaker 7: close to the Rock of Gibraltar. Now, I will be honest,
• 38:49
  Speaker 7: I didn't exactly know what the Rock of Gibraltar was.
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: I had heard of it. I read about it in school.
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: I passed the test, but I didn't go to bed
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: every night thinking about the Rock of Gibraltar. It was
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: not my life's dream to see the Rock of Gibraltar.
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: I was born in West Virginia, in the mountains. I
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: have seen enough rocks and mountains and hills and volens
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: and shoveled enough snow that I didn't go all the
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: way to Spain to see a rock. If I'm going
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: to Spain, let me go to the museums, and let
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: me go to Barcelona, and let me go to Madrid,
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: and let me go down on the cobblestone streets of
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: a city that is thousands of years old and now
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: they're telling me to go to the Rock of Gibraltar.
• 39:42
  Speaker 7: And there I am going to the Rock of Gibraltar,
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: fourteen hundred feet in the air. And it's not a
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: straight path. It's around winding roads and grinding here and
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: there and everywhere. And I went there to the Rock
• 39:56
  Speaker 7: of Gibraltar with my son, and because I'm his dad,
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: like I know what I'm doing. Neither one of us
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: know where we're going or what we're doing, or how
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: to get there, or whether it matters in our hole.
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: I know is that the air gets thinned when you
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: get high in the air and fourteen hundred feet in
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: the air, and you fat, no, you skinny people, don't laugh.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: You don't understand what I'm talking about.
• 40:25
  Speaker 7: You have to weigh over two hundred pounds to understand
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: what fourteen hundred feet in the air does to your nostrils.
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: It shrinks him down into baby nostrils. And you get
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: you the baby nostrils down on the endside. And I'm
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: trying to breathe and act like I'm okay, and I'm
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: starting to see colors in front of my hair. I'm
• 40:48
  Speaker 7: seeing colors and more colors that are in a rainbow
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: I'm seeing them everywhere, but I'm taking my son to
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: the Rock of Gibraltar.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Do you know how much history was that the Rock
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: of Gibraltar?
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: I didn't. Did you know?
• 41:00
  Speaker 7: Oh I didn't. I didn't know at all. I didn't know.
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know. You
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: know how we are in America. The world ends and
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: begins between New York and la We don't know about
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: no place else, and not our Congress, not our legislatives,
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: and not our people passing law.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Most of them don't even have a passport.
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: We made decisions about countries we have never been to,
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: and we feel sorry, and we sent our thoughts and
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: prayers when they die, But we don't really think they're
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: real people like us. They are their caricatures on our
• 41:38
  Speaker 7: TV screens and in our pockets and in our apps.
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: And then we get on our app and we let's see.
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: We scroll through them, and we look at them. We
• 41:50
  Speaker 7: pray for them sometimes sometimes we pray for them. Sometimes
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: we just keep scrolling because it's happening so much. It's
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: happening everywhere. Everybody's drowning or burning or dying or being
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: bombed or being newt and going through all kinds of trouble.
• 42:05
  Speaker 7: And while they're going through all that trouble, it's not
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: like you not having your own trouble. You're having your
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: own trouble. Your daughter just cuts you out and slammed
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: the door and said she didn't want to ever see
• 42:16
  Speaker 7: you again in life. And you were the worst mother
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: in the world. And you got to deal with that.
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: You can be putting out fires and waters and planes
• 42:25
  Speaker 7: and stop planes from crashing and deal with all you
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: weren't made to deal with all of that, because by
• 42:31
  Speaker 7: then you have developed your own brand of crazy. Not
• 42:36
  Speaker 7: craft mannaise, no, nothing like that. It hadn't been branded
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: by anybody else. You have your own brand of crazy,
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: your own devil to fight the stuff you're afraid of,
• 42:48
  Speaker 7: the stuff you have to deal with, the stuff you
• 42:51
  Speaker 7: have to suppress, is enough to keep you up all night.
• 42:55
  Speaker 7: It takes all of my energy to get Thomas not
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: to say what he wants to say, because he has
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: got a mouth on him that Grandma's soap will not
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: wash off. And it takes all I can do. If
• 43:07
  Speaker 7: you catch me in traffic and you haunt me the
• 43:09
  Speaker 7: wrong way, it takes everything I got to say God
• 43:13
  Speaker 7: loves you.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Yes he does booo where he loves you.
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: Yes, yes, yes, I'll meet you on the other side
• 43:22
  Speaker 7: in heaven and I won't cut you when.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: We get there.
• 43:28
  Speaker 7: It's all I can do to get him to shut
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: his mouth because he reacts and because he has built
• 43:35
  Speaker 7: up a system of hiding himself and handling himself and
• 43:41
  Speaker 7: dealing with his helf. And it may not be the
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: right system, and it may not work, and it may
• 43:45
  Speaker 7: not have anything to do with church. But I have
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: developed a pathology that enables me to live with me,
• 43:53
  Speaker 7: and I can't figure out why you can't develop a
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: pathology to live with me, because I've worked on this
• 44:00
  Speaker 7: for thirty years and I figured out how to like me,
• 44:04
  Speaker 7: And now that I have finally figured out how to
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: like me, you act like you don't understand me, like
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: I'm crazy. I'm not crazy. I have feeling, and I
• 44:13
  Speaker 7: have feeling about going through it up. I'm going through
• 44:16
  Speaker 7: everything all about myself and I don't know. And I
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: carried my son to the Rock of Gibraltar and found
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: out that's where all the fighting was since the early
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: fifteen hundreds. Nation after nations had fought in that place.
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: The Moores have fought in that place and on that
• 44:34
  Speaker 7: place and hollowed out the inside of the mountain. It's hollow.
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: You can go in there, and you can go up
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: the ramp and there are all kinds of cannons here,
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: and you can shoot out of the Rock of Gibraltar.
• 44:47
  Speaker 7: You can shoot at people and they can't hit you
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: back easy. And so nation the nation fought to have
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: control of that space. And since I was in Spain,
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: I thought I would go to the Rock of Gibraltar.
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: And I got to the Gibraltar and I brought my
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: franks there so that I could buy something while I
• 45:04
  Speaker 7: was there, because I'm gonna buy something there and buy something.
• 45:08
  Speaker 7: Part of my ministry is to buy something. I am
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: called to buy something. I am going to buy something.
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: I don't care what it is. I'm going to buy something.
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: I was born in West Virginia, a little black boy
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: with ashenees in West Virginia, with basoline fore lotion on
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: his kneecoups. And if I go all the way to Spain,
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: I am going to buy something. I'm going to buy something.
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: And I drive in there to buy something, and I'm
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: getting ready to go into the air where the Rock
• 45:45
  Speaker 7: of Gibraltar was and you know what, I had to
• 45:48
  Speaker 7: show my passport to get in and pay a fee
• 45:51
  Speaker 7: to get where they wanted me to go and do
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: all of that.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: And they told me that they didn't take franks.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: In Spain.
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: And what do you mean that what was valuable over
• 46:05
  Speaker 7: here is not valuable over there, That this one patch
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: of ground that you call the Roco Gibraltar is controlled
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: by the Euros being kingdom. And they used pounds and
• 46:23
  Speaker 7: I didn't bring no pounds. They didn't tell me that
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: you could have one little patch of ground out of
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: all over country that belonged to somebody else. They didn't
• 46:35
  Speaker 7: tell me that they fought for it and died for
• 46:38
  Speaker 7: it and bled for it to control it. Because it
• 46:42
  Speaker 7: is a site where you can see nations. You can
• 46:45
  Speaker 7: stand on one nation and see the other nation. You
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: can see the northern tip of Africa, you can see Morocco,
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: you can see all kinds of stuff from that point.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: It's a high place. Why.
• 46:56
  Speaker 7: That's why in the Bible, the Old Testament, you always
• 46:58
  Speaker 7: hear that God wants to move your high places. Because
• 47:02
  Speaker 7: the high places and the high places are the places
• 47:05
  Speaker 7: of strategic advantage. It is hard to kill your enemy
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: if your enemy is over you. That's why they never
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: put your brain in your foot. Because I can drag
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: my foot, even as old as I am, I can
• 47:22
  Speaker 7: get my foot up close enough that I can work
• 47:25
  Speaker 7: on it if I have to. Don't tell my wife
• 47:27
  Speaker 7: because like I'm crippled, so should break care of it
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: from me. But I can actually, if I need to,
• 47:32
  Speaker 7: I can do that. But God did not put my
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: brain in my foot. He put it in my head
• 47:38
  Speaker 7: because I got to deal with the high places. That's
• 47:41
  Speaker 7: where I shoot from. That's where my cannons go off from.
• 47:45
  Speaker 7: That's where my cannons go off, whether they're pointed out
• 47:49
  Speaker 7: or in. Can I deep? Can I go deeper that
• 47:55
  Speaker 7: my cannons go off? That's what That's what you get out.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: Till you marry me.
• 47:58
  Speaker 7: And you married your girl friend, you went home with
• 48:01
  Speaker 7: your wife, You married your boyfriend, and you go home
• 48:07
  Speaker 7: with your husband. You married the person who showered and
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: got ready and got dressed and put on cologne, extra cologne.
• 48:15
  Speaker 7: In fact, I couldn't breathe, and you put up from
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: us cluck, and you came out and you were ready
• 48:20
  Speaker 7: for me. And it was occasionally I didn't know I
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: was gonna have to wake up to you every day
• 48:24
  Speaker 7: with bad breadth and hair all over your head and
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: find out that you leave your drawers in the middle
• 48:29
  Speaker 7: of the floor, and that you don't keep up after yourself,
• 48:33
  Speaker 7: and you use the bathroom and don't wash your hands,
• 48:35
  Speaker 7: And now I got to deal with all of that,
• 48:38
  Speaker 7: and I didn't know that was possible. Is it?
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: Okay? Did I go too far? Okay?
• 48:42
  Speaker 7: I'm right on the edge. I'm right on here, and
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: I'm stay on the edge. I'm stay on their edge.
• 48:47
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna stay on the edge because the Bible just
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: told me that I have to deal with things from
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: the rock at Gibraltar. I need a post that I
• 48:57
  Speaker 7: can shoot out. I need an area that protects me.
• 49:00
  Speaker 7: And the area that I build to protect me also
• 49:04
  Speaker 7: incarceraates me. And now I am protected, but I am
• 49:10
  Speaker 7: also isolated and you can't hurt me. Say whatever you
• 49:15
  Speaker 7: want to say, real your eyes, texting about me right now,
• 49:18
  Speaker 7: Tweet it for me if you want to take a
• 49:21
  Speaker 7: picture and put it on Facebook right now. Because I
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: have developed a system, you will not getting me. I
• 49:29
  Speaker 7: ain't thinking about you. I don't even know you. You
• 49:35
  Speaker 7: can be sleeping up under a bridge somewhere. I don't
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: care whether you like my hair or not. I'm not
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: gonna give you that much power over me. I have
• 49:43
  Speaker 7: developed a system to handle all of that, even if
• 49:47
  Speaker 7: it's cut it off. Do you know my wife has
• 49:51
  Speaker 7: two phones and don't answer neither one of them. Honest
• 49:56
  Speaker 7: to God, I'm telling the truth. I do not understand
• 49:59
  Speaker 7: why she needs to two phone. She got two different
• 50:01
  Speaker 7: phone numbers, two different phones all together, and she never
• 50:05
  Speaker 7: can find either one of them. Sometimes she's looking at
• 50:10
  Speaker 7: it while it's ringing, and it does not bother her
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: that the phone is ringing. She walks past the phone
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: ringing and keeps on singing what she's singing. And she's
• 50:20
  Speaker 7: refusing to let that many people get in her life
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: and get in her head, and get in her mind
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: and get into her spirit. She has to be transformed
• 50:31
  Speaker 7: by the renewing of her mind. And sometimes we build
• 50:35
  Speaker 7: up ways to be transformed by the renewing of our mind.
• 50:40
  Speaker 7: I've been studying this for a week. Our brain is
• 50:43
  Speaker 7: designed to deliver enzymes and hormones that secrete fluids in
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: us that helps with us steal with what's on our
• 50:55
  Speaker 7: mind and we got a lot on my mind. And
• 51:03
  Speaker 7: I've been reading a book, an old book written by
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: an old author or doctor said, the body keep score.
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: You read it, the body keeps score. So everything I
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: didn't say, and everything I held in, and everything I suppressed,
• 51:19
  Speaker 7: and everything I wouldn't get out, the body kept score.
• 51:24
  Speaker 7: The body kept score. And so I survived. Heroes, I survived, Heroes,
• 51:30
  Speaker 7: I survived. I survived. But just because I survived doesn't
• 51:34
  Speaker 7: mean I succeeded. Can I teach this? And now the
• 51:42
  Speaker 7: Bible has said to me that I can be transformed
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: by the renewing of my mind. Oh no, wait, wait
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: a minute, I'm goa at the Rock and Gibraltar. I
• 51:50
  Speaker 7: got to finish that. I was at the Rock of Gibraltar.
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: I went all the way through the rocky Gibraltar. And
• 51:55
  Speaker 7: she went on the house side of rock and Gibraltar.
• 51:57
  Speaker 7: And my son is with me, and I got to
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: the top of the and there's all of these monkeys. Yeah,
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: I gotta tell you about the monkeys. And all these
• 52:04
  Speaker 7: monkeys are there. There were monkeys, but there were monkeys
• 52:06
  Speaker 7: on my car. There were monkeys on the window. There
• 52:10
  Speaker 7: were monkeys on the back window, and they were talking
• 52:12
  Speaker 7: about how cute the monkeys were. And the monkeys was
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: leaving little white spots on everything. And they weren't quite
• 52:19
  Speaker 7: a execute as I thought they were. They were all everything,
• 52:22
  Speaker 7: but it was so so nice, it was so wonderful.
• 52:26
  Speaker 7: You felt so likely you were in another country. Always monkeys,
• 52:29
  Speaker 7: and I had the monkeys everywhere, and the monkeys were everywhere,
• 52:32
  Speaker 7: and the monkeys were everywhere, and I started noticing they
• 52:35
  Speaker 7: were something weird about these monkeys. And see, I watched
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: too much TV. I watched these movies where the monkeys
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: start talking to each other. You ever watched the monkeys?
• 52:48
  Speaker 7: Where does the monkeys start driving cars? And the monkeys
• 52:51
  Speaker 7: started mediating with each other and they start calling one another,
• 52:55
  Speaker 7: and they come through the trees and everything, and I know,
• 52:57
  Speaker 7: there was a whole lot of gathering around my car.
• 52:59
  Speaker 7: There a whole lot of around my car. If I
• 53:01
  Speaker 7: one or two of them, but it was a whole
• 53:02
  Speaker 7: lot of them around my car. And they were all
• 53:05
  Speaker 7: around my car, and it was all of these monkeys.
• 53:07
  Speaker 7: And you know what was weird about them. They didn't
• 53:10
  Speaker 7: have no tails. They didn't have no tails. And my
• 53:16
  Speaker 7: guy told me when the monkeys first came to the
• 53:18
  Speaker 7: Rock of Gibraltar. They were born with tails. Monkey tales,
• 53:24
  Speaker 7: you know, monkey tales. They had monkey tails. But the
• 53:28
  Speaker 7: tail is so small, just a little bit of gristle
• 53:32
  Speaker 7: and meat. The tail is so small. And the winter
• 53:35
  Speaker 7: changes in Gibraltar, and it gets cold in Gibraltar, and
• 53:40
  Speaker 7: in the winter, you know what happened.
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: Don't stop me.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: You know what happened.
• 53:50
  Speaker 7: They froze their tail a they actually froze their tail off.
• 54:03
  Speaker 7: And you know what else, the next time, the next
• 54:06
  Speaker 7: generation when they had babies, they they had tails too,
• 54:11
  Speaker 7: and they froze their tail off.
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: You're gonna leave.
• 54:16
  Speaker 7: Out here and tell everybody I appreciate about monkey tales,
• 54:19
  Speaker 7: aren't you. Don't you tell me nobody I said that
• 54:22
  Speaker 7: about freezing their tails off, And don't you do that
• 54:26
  Speaker 7: that that that doesn't sound real preachery, so don't do that.
• 54:29
  Speaker 7: They might take it out of context and put it
• 54:31
  Speaker 7: on Instagram. Lord A Mercy, I forgot. It's gonna probably
• 54:34
  Speaker 7: be on Instagram now, and that's gonna be one more
• 54:37
  Speaker 7: thing I'm gonna have to scroll past and ignore them,
• 54:40
  Speaker 7: because they're all in on that that that they froze
• 54:44
  Speaker 7: their tails off. And you know what by the third generation,
• 54:48
  Speaker 7: they were born without tails. Wow, they stop being born
• 54:55
  Speaker 7: with tails so they wouldn't freeze them up. And suddenly
• 55:04
  Speaker 7: I understood something I never understood why Jesus said, if
• 55:10
  Speaker 7: your hand offends, you.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: Cut it off.
• 55:14
  Speaker 7: Because I'm a literalist. When you tell me something, I
• 55:16
  Speaker 7: take you seriously. So if you tell me to jump
• 55:19
  Speaker 7: on him, I'm gonna jump on him. We figure out
• 55:21
  Speaker 7: what's gonna happen later.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: I'm jump. I'm gonna jump right now. I'm gonna jump that.
• 55:26
  Speaker 7: First time I went to Africa, the big crowd of people,
• 55:29
  Speaker 7: and they were so excited, and they were praying, and
• 55:31
  Speaker 7: they all wanted deliver it. I just dived, you know,
• 55:34
  Speaker 7: like they're doing it. I just dived out in the crowd.
• 55:37
  Speaker 7: They almost killed me. They almost killed me. They took
• 55:41
  Speaker 7: my ring, they was pulling on my clothes. They take
• 55:44
  Speaker 7: prayers so seriously. They take prayers, soul seriously. They take
• 55:49
  Speaker 7: prayer so seriously. My son and I on the top
• 55:55
  Speaker 7: of the rocket Gibraltar and the monkeys have stopped growing
• 56:01
  Speaker 7: what they didn't need. What are you growing? Yeah, that
• 56:11
  Speaker 7: you don't need? What are you growing from where you
• 56:16
  Speaker 7: used to live? And you don't live there anymore, but
• 56:21
  Speaker 7: you still got your tail as if you were someplace else.
• 56:25
  Speaker 7: And now God has called you to the mountains and
• 56:27
  Speaker 7: you're in a better place, and you're a better person,
• 56:30
  Speaker 7: and you're higher than you've ever been, and you got
• 56:33
  Speaker 7: the opportunity of a lifetime, and you still got your tail.
• 56:42
  Speaker 7: And that's what I learned that did Rocans have brought
• 56:44
  Speaker 7: to and somedenly I understood what Christ meant. Cut your
• 56:50
  Speaker 7: hand off. If your hand defense you, cut it off.
• 56:53

• 56:56
  Speaker 7: messing you up, fix it, Just change your mind by it.
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: Just fix it, Just.
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: Fix it.
• 57:10
  Speaker 7: Don't just dance and skip and jumping, hoop and holler
• 57:13
  Speaker 7: and make all kind of noise and go home and
• 57:15
  Speaker 7: make excuses for yourself and give yourself a license to
• 57:19
  Speaker 7: be dysfunctional. Just fix it. If it's you don't know
• 57:27
  Speaker 7: how to apologize and you don't know how to say
• 57:29
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry, or you don't know how to work with
• 57:32
  Speaker 7: somebody who didn't say I'm sorry to you, or if
• 57:35
  Speaker 7: it's that you doubt your own masculinity and you don't
• 57:38
  Speaker 7: trust your own femininity and now you don't even know
• 57:41
  Speaker 7: what either one of them is, because I'm so confused.
• 57:44
  Speaker 7: I don't know a duck from a pigeon. I don't
• 57:47
  Speaker 7: know anything, and you're trying to figure out all of that.
• 57:50
  Speaker 7: Whatever it is is you are dealing with. Just fix
• 57:55
  Speaker 7: it easier said than done, real hard. Let's just praise
• 58:02
  Speaker 7: so Lord, Let's just dance and leave the inside unfixed.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: Let's not take on the big fight. Let's change. Do
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: you know when the prodigal.
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: Son was in the mud? I'm almost fraindshed. He was
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: in the mud. Yeah, I got even, Okay, I got it.
• 58:25
  Speaker 7: He was in the mud and everything in cover with
• 58:29
  Speaker 7: mud and everything, and he didn't have anything to eat
• 58:32
  Speaker 7: except for what the swine did eat. And he was
• 58:35
  Speaker 7: sitting in the hall pen and he came to himself.
• 58:40
  Speaker 7: That's a weird scripture. He came to himself. He came
• 58:44
  Speaker 7: to himself. Came means a journey, means a distance, means
• 58:47
  Speaker 7: that traveler, It means it took me some time to
• 58:50
  Speaker 7: come to myself. He came to himself. That is the
• 58:55
  Speaker 7: baddest scripture. I dare you, I can breach on that
• 58:58
  Speaker 7: all night. He came to himself. Now, he came to Georgia.
• 59:02
  Speaker 7: He came to Memphis, he came to California, though he
• 59:06
  Speaker 7: came to himself. It takes you a long time to
• 59:10
  Speaker 7: come to yourself. And you can lose a lot of
• 59:12
  Speaker 7: people while you come to yourself. And you can damage
• 59:15
  Speaker 7: a lot of people while you come to yourself, and
• 59:18
  Speaker 7: you can lose opportunity after opportunity that God has for you.
• 59:22
  Speaker 7: Because you won't come to yourself, you will not confront yourself.
• 59:26
  Speaker 7: You will not be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
• 59:34
  Speaker 7: You will not let somebody borrow your body. A new
• 59:38
  Speaker 7: personality come inside of your body and walk around in
• 59:42
  Speaker 7: your clothes, he and in your shoes. The nicer you,
• 59:45
  Speaker 7: the better you, the stronger you, the more intense you,
• 59:49
  Speaker 7: the more loving you, the more communicative you, the more
• 59:54
  Speaker 7: kind you wants to take over your body. Until a
• 59:58
  Speaker 7: new personality lives in your body and you have joy
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 7: on more than Sunday, more than Sunday. You can have
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 7: joy on more than Sunday. More than Sunday. You can
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 7: have joy. You can have Joey, unspeakable, full of truth
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 7: and glory. You can have joy when you go home.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 7: You have joy in your car. You can have joy
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 7: in your house and in your life and in your spirit.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 7: You can have joy in a trailer, you can have
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 7: joy in a park, you can have joy anywhere. You
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 7: can have joy in your spirit right now, right now,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 7: right now, you can decide in your mind. Right now,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 7: I am through being who I was. I'm tired of that.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 7: I don't like her. I don't like him. He's messing
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 7: me up. He's canceling out my chances. He's killing my future,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 7: he's destroying my career. He's tearing up my marriage, he's
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 7: tearing up my relationship. And I am going to get
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 7: rid of him. I'm going to be transformed by the
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 7: renewing of my mind. My mind, My mind is my
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 7: rock of Gibraltar. My mind is my rock of Gibraltar.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 7: That's where I shoot from. That's where I preach from.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 7: That's where I fight from. That's where I teach from.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 7: Out of my head, out of my head. I gotta
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 7: get it right in my head. That's where the warry
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 7: is between the Devil and God is in my head.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: It's in my mind.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 7: It's in my thoughts, it's in my thinking, it's in
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 7: my ways and eye. I don't care if I win
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 7: the battle at work, and win the battle with the car,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 7: and fix the pipes and the freezers and do all
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 7: of that, and cut the crass and trim the hedges
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 7: to their straight. If I don't fix the hell that's
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 7: in my head, I will never be free and I
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 7: will never behold man. I will never be what God
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 7: wants me to be. And I want to be free.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 7: I want to be free. I want to be free
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 7: in my mind. I want to be free in my spirit.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 7: I want to be free. I want to be free.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 7: I want to be free. I don't want to die
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 7: and have it been free. I want to be free.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 7: I want to be free so much that I sing
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 7: in the shower. I want to be so free that
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 7: I can sing on the back porch. I want to
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 7: be so free that I get on my neighbor's nerves
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 7: because I sing out of towne. I want to be
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 7: so free that I have peace and power on the inside.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 7: And I can't understand why I can't let go of
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 7: my tail. If I let go on my tail, if
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 7: I am willing to cut off that hand because it
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 7: offends me, if I am willing to cut out that
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 7: tongue because it offends me, offends me. Only means that's
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 7: the only thing standing in between you and what God wants.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: To give you.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 7: If you cut that one thing off, that one thing,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 7: do you hear me this morning? That one thing, If
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 7: you cut that one thing off, if you stop being
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 7: so insistent that you gotta be who you you used
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 7: to be. If you cut that one thing off, you
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 7: shall eat of the fat of the land. God will
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 7: put you in goodly houses. He will open doors for you,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 7: He will make ways for you, will strengthen you. He
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 7: will bless you. He will overshadow you, he will overcome you.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 7: He will make you smarter. He'll make you brighter. He'll
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 7: make you a better mother, a better father, a better friend,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 7: a better person. If you'll cut off that one thing,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 7: If you'll cut off that one thing, why are you
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 7: loyal to something you don't need anymore? It's freezing you.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 7: You're freezing your tail off. You're freezing your career. You're
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 7: freezing your marriage, You're freezing your home life. You're freezing
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 7: your ministry. You're freezing the best part of your ministry.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 7: The best part of your ministry is in your tears,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 7: and in your brokenness, and in your fears. And you
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 7: just keeping it real and just being to who you are.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 7: The best part of you as a wife, is that
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 7: broken crazy you secrecies that you have.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: If that's what's cute.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 7: About you, If you just freeze it all, if you
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 7: just freeze off the thing that's stopping you from being
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 7: all you can be, you could change your life and
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 7: be ye he transformed by the renewing of her mind.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 7: So the prodigal son is in the hawk pin, and
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 7: he has no money, and he has nothing to eat,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 7: and he spent all his father's stuff in riots that's living,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 7: and all the prostitutes have left him, and all the
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 7: friends have left him, and he's in the hawk pen.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 7: And you can tell you're in the hawk pin with
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 7: something that don't even appeal to you suddenly starts to
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 7: appeal to you. And all of a sudden, he wants
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 7: to eat what the swine did eat.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: He's a jew boy.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 7: He doesn't even eat eat swine, much less what the
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 7: swine did he eat. And with flies all around his hair,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 7: and that's in his face and slup on his clothes,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 7: and something happened to him right there, not in the sanctuary,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 7: not in the church, not in the choir, not in
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 7: the praise to him, not in the balcony, not sitting
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 7: in the back, not sitting up front, not leaving up.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: Down in there. He was in the howk pin.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 7: And he came to himself, and he came to himself,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 7: he said, I'm gonna cut my tail off. Being stubborn.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 7: He's killing me, is killing my opportunity. I will arise
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 7: and go to my father's house. I'll swallow my pride
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 7: and go to my father's house and say, I am
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 7: no more worthy to be thy son. Make me as
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 7: one of your heart servants. And he practiced what he
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 7: was gonna say all the way home. He hadn't even
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 7: got to his father yet. He was just practicing what
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 7: he was going to say. And while he was practicing
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 7: it and getting in his head what he was going
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 7: to say, while he was yet a great ways off,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 7: his father looked down the road and saw him coming.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 7: And the Bible says the old man ran out to
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 7: meet him. I'm sixty eight years old. Let me tell
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 7: you something. It takes something to make me run. Now,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 7: at twenty eight, I would run over anything. But if
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 7: you see me running at sixty eight, you better run too,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 7: because some's chasing me.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: The father ran.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 7: The father ran to meet him, He ran to meet him,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 7: and he was wrong because he was practicing for a father.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: He had in his mind who would accuse him.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 7: He wasn't practicing for the father that would run out
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 7: to meet him and cover him up and put him
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 7: in a good place and set a party together and
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 7: killed the fatic half and open up the door. He
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 7: didn't even know that he had that kind of father,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 7: because all those years he had kept his tail, and
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 7: his tail had stopped him from seeing who his father
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 7: really was.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: But while he was still funky.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 7: And smelly and NAT's all around, the father wrapped a
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 7: robe around him and sent the servants out to get
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 7: ready for him, and put a ring on his finger,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 7: and brought him in be all of a sudden, only
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 7: thing he changed. He didn't change his hair, he didn't
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 7: change his clothes. He didn't change his car. He didn't
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 7: change his goat, he didn't change his lamb. He didn't
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 7: change his speech, he didn't change how he looked. He
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 7: didn't change anything. The only thing he changed was he
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 7: changed his mind. And when he changed his mind, he
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 7: experienced the father in a way that he never experienced
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 7: the Father before. I want you to stand up on
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 7: your feet, and y'all want you to make up in
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 7: your mind. I got some changing to do. I'm going
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 7: to be transformed by the renewing of them my mind.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 7: I'm going to be transformed by the renewing of my mind.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 7: I got one more thing to say to you, and
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 7: I how to be finished. I have heard the scripture
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 7: all my life. I can do all things through Christ,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 7: which strengthens me. And people always use it when they
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 7: come up against a task or an obstacle. I can
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 7: do all things through Christ, which strengthens me. Greater is
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 7: in me, he is in the world. I can do
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 7: all things through Christ, which strengthens me. And it sounds
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 7: so good, and it sounds so wonderful, and we use
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 7: it all the time, except we use it out of
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 7: context when God said that. When Paul said, I can
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 7: do all things to Christ, and Philippians, who strengthens me,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 7: he said it after saying this, I have learned how
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 7: to be abased, and I have learned how to be abound.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 7: I have learned both how to be a warm and
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 7: I have learned how to have plenty. That means you
