Tomorrow Belongs to God - Bishop T.D. Jakes - The Potter’s House of Dallas · THE WORLD'S BEST PREACHER

• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go to the Word of God. I
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: think I got everything done, Amen that needed to be done.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I'm excited. Go to Matthew six twenty five through thirty four,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and let's go to the Word. Let's go to work.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: By the way, Matthew six is something you ought to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: include in your Bible study in parting in case I
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: don't finish today. But it's just it's just a great text.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: It's just a great text. And we're going to be
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: reading out the NIV. If you're watching online, we'll put
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: it up on the screen for you, the Gospel of
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Saint Matthew six twenty five through thirty four. Therefore, I
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: tell you, do not worry about your life. I told you,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: do not worry about your life. Like what you will
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: eat or drink, or about your body what you will wear,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: is not life more than food in the body, more
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: than clothes. Look at the birds of their They do
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: not sow or reap or store away in burns. And
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: yet are your heavenly Father feeds him? Are you not
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: much more valuable than they can? Any one of you
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: by worrying add a single hour to your life? And
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: why do you worry about clothes. See how the flowers
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: of the field grow. They do not labor or spend.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Yet I tell you that not even Solomon and all
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: his splendor, was dressed like one of these. If that
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: is how God closes the grad of the field, which
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: So do not worry saying what shall we eat, or
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: what shall we drink? Or what shall we wear? For
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the pagans run after all these things. And your heavenly
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Father knows that you need them. He's not against them.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: He knows that you need them. But seek first, But
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: see key first, his kingdom and his righteousness, and all
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: these things will be given to you. And all these things.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: He's not preaching against things. He's talking about priorities. All
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: these things will be given to you as well. Therefore,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: do not worry. And this is what I want you
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to look at. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow. Say
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that with me. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow. Yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: say it again. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow. The
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: reason I have you saying it is that it is
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you know that faith coming by hearing and hearing by
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the word of God. But your soul needs to hear
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: yourself say. Do not worry. It's one thing to hear
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: me say. But when you say it to yourself, when
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you say things to yourself, you give birth inside of yourself. Oh, therefore,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: do not worry about tomorrow, for to tomorrow will worry
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Isn't that good? I want to preach this morning, tomorrow
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: belongs to God. Somebody say tomorrow belongs to God. Say
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: it again, tomorrow belongs to God. Let's pray, spirit of
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the Living God falls fresh on us today as we
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: delve into your word. We need your word, your precepts,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: your guidance, your direction, your correction, your instruction. Inflame the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Word of God inside of us. Let it swell up
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: in us, Let it be magnified, let it multiply, Let
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: it be fruitful in us. In the name of Jesus,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: we pray. Amen. On your way to your seat, say
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: tomorrow belongs to God. Type it on the line, Tomorrow
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: belongs to God. You know, whenever somebody asks you how
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you're doing, I always make the reference that nobody stops
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: for you to answer, And then I started thinking about it,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and I started realizing if they were to stop, what
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: would I answer? Because really, how I'm doing is a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: big conversation. It depends on which me you talking about,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: about ten of us going on? How am I doing
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: in my body? How am I doing in my finances?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: How am I doing in my mind? How am I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: doing in my business? How am I doing in my family?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: How am I doing? All kinds of way emotionally, this
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: is mental health. How am I doing is a long conversation.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: So if you don't have like three or four hours,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: just wave at me, don't ask me no questions. You
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: don't have time to spend time getting the answer to.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's just me, But how many of you have
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: found yourself struggling to rest in today for fear of tomorrow,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Struggling to rest in today for fear of tomorrow. We're
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: living in the most uncertain times that I have ever seen.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: You can't be quite sure of anything. You can't be
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: sure of the values of our world, of our country,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: of our government, of the place you work. You can't
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: be sure. Everything shifting, everybody's shifting, everybody's gone blind to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: what they said yesterday. There are no absolutes anymore. Things
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: don't have to be bad just to be threatening. It's
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: not that something has happened. It's like a cloud of
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Suppose this doesn't work, Suppose that doesn't work. Supposed this happened,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Supposed that happened. Suppose supposed, suppose. Often the threat tests
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: solely in the rest, solely in the crevices of your
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: own mind. And if I'm the only one that ever
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: feels threatened, just threatening. Sometimes you don't even know what
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you're threatened about, you just feel threatened.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: It.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: It's often the threat tests solely in the crevices of
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: your mind, to the point that you wake up late
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: at night and it's like the night of the living dead,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and you find yourself in situations and circumstances where all
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: these entuned issues come out in your dreams, come out
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in insomnia, or just an overall feeling of this ease.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: We should really look at that word, this ease, because
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: we say it disease, But disease is this ease. Your
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: body was not designed to ingest this ease, and yet
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: we are living in a world that is increasingly diseasing.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: You know, I stopped listening at the same story play
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: over and over on the news, over and over again,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: because I don't need to reinforce I heard that already.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I don't need to hear everybody comment on everything about it,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: because it creates a spirit of this ease. And the
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: reason we have a home is a place to rest in,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a place to relax in, a place to to renew
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: yourself in it. And I don't mean all things are
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: going bad, that's one thing. But when your life is
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: an oxymoron, you know it's an oxymoron is when two
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: contrasting things coexist in the same space, like hot ice
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and Oxamoron is a term that doesn't make sense, and
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: yet it is true. Your life doesn't make sense, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: yet it is true. It kind of reminds me of
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Charles Dicken's statement, and I quote it was the best
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: of times and it was the worst of times. It
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: was the age of wisdom, It was the age of foolishness.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: It was the epoch of belief, It was the epoch
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: of incredulity. It was the season of light, it was
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the season of darkness. It was the spring of hope,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and it was the winter of despair. All at the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: same time, and you're weaving through the traffic of laughter
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and tears, weaving through the traffic trying dogs, the cars
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: of pain and power, of goodness and agony, all at
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the same time, staring out of a glass that should
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: be clear late at night, a window that is darkened
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: by night. Instead, all we see is the sleepless eyes
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: staring out of glass so blackened by night. That your
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: house is a house of mirrors, and your life resembles
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the carnival. You don't understand what I'm saying unless you've
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: woken up and woke up in the middle of the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: night and stared out over a window where you couldn't
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: see anything except your own reflection, and instead of it
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: being a house of rest, it is a carnival of disease.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: A bill we can't pay, a child we can't heal,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a job we hate, or a lurking sense of danger
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: is in a roommate to an impending blessing. A lurking
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: sense of danger is roommate to an impending blessing. So
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: on one hand, I'm the happiest saddest I've ever been.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I'm the hobby is saddest I've ever been I'm the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: most victorious, defeated I've ever been. I'm the most I'm
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the most accomplished, insecure I've ever been, all at the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: same time, best and worst of times, all at the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: same time. Is there anybody in here that can relate
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to it? Now? I know that there is a spiritual
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: quorum of people in here who only profess what's good.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: But when nobody's looking, you worry about what's bad. You
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: always have a positive confession, and I'm not hating on
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you going with your positive confession, But to the people
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: who want to keep it real in here, you live
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: your life braced almost for the next shoe to drop,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and you don't know which shoe is gonna be. Is
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: it gonna be a blessing shoe or is it gonna
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: be a burdensome shoe? But you brace for it either
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: way it comes. Either way it comes, I gotta deal
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: with it whatever it is. Uncertainty is worse than the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: shoe drop? Can anybody relate to what I'm talking about?
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Why the weapons of our warfare are not more accessible
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: when we need them the most. I don't need the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: weapons of my warfare so much. In church, I need
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the weapons of my warfare to activate at three o'clock
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: in the morning. Come on, I need the weapons of
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: my warfare to activate when I'm in the grocery store
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and somebody has said something to me so crazy that
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure whether I'm called a ministry or not.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I might be called to be a part of the crypts.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: There are people that make me feel like a gang
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: leader every now and then, and I need the weapons
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: of my warfare to work for me, right then? Why
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: are they not more accessible? Because you can get into
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: crisis in the storm, in the tests, in the hospital,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: in the rain, at the cemetery, at the RS meeting,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: at the accountant's office, and forget everything you heard Sunday.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: It's not that we don't have the weapons. They're not
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: always accessible because we don't use them enough to keep
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: them close enough that they become a norm. They become
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: a Sunday morning accessory and in the time of trouble,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: you got it. You got it in trouble, but you
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: got to find it, you know. It reminds me of
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: several years ago we were at Women that Aren't Losing.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: It was the first really big one. We had fifty
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: four thousand women and we were in Atlanta, and I
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: was amazed and worried and happy and sad and glad
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: and confident and nervous and walking by faith and scared
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: to death and all. So this has been going on
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: a long time. Fifty four thousand women and we made
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: it to the end of the conference. We had filled
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: up half of the Georgia Dome with fifty four thousand women.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: We had packed it out for us at that time.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: That was really great success. And everybody was leaving. It
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: was wonderful. It was a success. The power of God failed.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: People were healed, they were delivered, all kinds of things happen.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Yolks were broken over, people had been abused and molested
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and the astral side. And it was a powerful meeting.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: And it was so powerful that even after the meeting
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: was over, we went to the airport and we were
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: singing in the airport. You get fifty four thousand, predominantly
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: black women and singing in the airport, and the security
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: goes nothing. They don't know what to do. People laying
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: hands on people in the restaurant. See our culture. When
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: we get happy, we don't hide it. When we get mad,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: we don't hide it. When we dance, we don't hide
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: it whatever we feel. You gonna get some of that today.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Multiply about fifty four thousand and you will see the picture.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: We besiege the airport. We filled it with glee and
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: singing all in the corridor. It was crazy. We turned
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: it into church. Women are loose too. I mean people
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: like the Pace Sisters and the Clock Sisters and all
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: these people were all there in the airport and we
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: were getting it on and people were taking pictures. And
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I was young then they were taking pictures and all
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: up in my face and I was trying to wave
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and everybody and check my bag, saying and go through
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the magnometer. And everything was wonderful, and oh, thank you
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: for having it you gods man, Holly knew ya, Thank
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: you Jesus, going to God. I want a picture with
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the Man of God. And I'm going through there, and
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: my family's going through there, and we're going through the airport,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: and I got my mom with men. We're having a
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: wonderful time. Generations of women rejoicing. When you got fifty
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: four thousand women taking pictures and screaming, all the other
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: people was trying to figure out who is he and
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure how to answer that question, because it
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: takes years to answer that question who is he? But
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I was sure I was going to be waving and
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: being nice. I've always been gregarious, and I'm going I
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: was waving at people, and they was taking pictures, and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I was posing with strangers and taking pictures with babies
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. All of a sudden, I looked
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: around and we were surrounded by police, and I thought,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: what happened? We were the magnominies checking in our bags
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and I was taking pictures and everything. I wasn't paying
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of attention. And the next thing I knew,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: police were haul around me. Come to find out, one
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of our bags had a pearl revolver in it, and
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: it was my mother's. Now you got to understand this.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I got all these security and deacons and friends and
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: all these people right there there, ain't got nothing. My
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: mother is loaded. Okay, she got a little baby glocked
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: down in her pocketbook. You talked about which would and
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: we're going through the thing, and all of a sudden
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: they said, we found this in the bag. Now it
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: is a big bag, it's her pocketbook, and my mother
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: carried big pocketbooks, and it was in the bottom of
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the pocketbook. I was so mad at I told you,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I got fifty four thousand women around me and taking pictures,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the police have surrounded us
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and they're taking us in the back. And I seriously
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: thought about taking her life. I thought, I take you
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: out right now. And she was embarrassed, but she said,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: this is what she said to me. It was just
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: a little one, like I left the machine gun at home,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you know, so you ought to be glad. I didn't
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: bring my real stuff out here, but you know, it
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: was just a little The thing that amazed me, though,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: is that it was under the makeup. It was under
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: all kinds of tissues, it was under all kinds of
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: other stuff. But if somebody would have snatched us. By
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the time she got to the gun, I said, Mama,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: why are you carrying a gun you can't access. If
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: you're gonna carry the thing up in here, at least
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: be able to get to it. I could see my
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: mama saying, well, you just wait a minute. Wait, wait
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: a minute, you keep talking a minute. When I get
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to this, I'm gonna shut you of my body and
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: we'd all been dead. How accessible are your weapons? You
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: have them, but can you reach them in time, in
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the time of trouble, in the time of stress, in
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the time of agony, in the time of pain, in
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the time of frustration and agony and disorientation and disase.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Do you only have your weapons when you come to church?
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Or does it work in your house? Does it work
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: on your job? Does it work at two o'clock in
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the morning, doesn't work when all hell comes against you.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: It's not enough to teach you to carry it if
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: you can't reach it. You got to be able to activate.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Somebody say, activate. You got to be able to activate.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: You gotta be able to activate it. You can't. You
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: can't activate your faith if it's in the bottom of
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: your pocketbook. Mama, you can't activate what you can't access.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: The chilenge that Jesus is having is to try to
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: teach his disciples to make prayer a lifestyle, to make
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: it a lifestyle. You know why worship service is sometimes
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: difficult because we're outnumbered. You hear them say this morning,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I listen and Sister April saying this morning, how they
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: were out here early singing the worship songs before you
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: got here. But if they're out here worshiping before you come,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: and you're in the car cussing before you come, the
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: distance between where your head is at and where our
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: head is at, it's so far. Or maybe you're just
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: worried and we got to crack through ice to get
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: through nights and nights and nights of disease. Jesus in
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the pretexts of this text, is teaching his disciples about prayer,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and they are asking him teach us to pray because
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: he has modeled prayer in front of them. The text
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: comes after him giving them the model prayer what we
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: call the Lord's prayer, which we ought to call the
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: disciples prayer, because it's really the prayer he gave us
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: to pray our Father, which ard in heaven hollowould be
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: thy name, that kingdom come, that will be done on
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: earth as it is in heaven. Give us his stay,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: but deliver us from evil. That prayer right there, He
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: gave them that template for prayer. But the real model
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: is how he lived his life, not just what he said.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: He told them that real prayer has nothing to do
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: with eloquence. He associated that with the Pharisees. They were
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: known for their swelling words and their long prayers. He
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: wants us to know that prayer doesn't inform God. Instead,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: it invites him. God, God, God doesn't need you to
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: tell him what's going on. He already knows what's going on.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: You don't pray to inform him. You pray to invite him. Oh, y'all,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: don't hear what I'm saying. I'm gonna drop something heavy
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: on you. I'm gonna drop some heavy stuff on you.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: You pray to invite him into your finances. You invite him.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: You don't inform the Lord. You know the reddish due
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: on Thursday. Yeah, I know that. You know I got
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: laid off. Yeah, I was there. You know they hurt
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: my feelings. I quit my job. I got mad. I
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: just wanted on. Yeah, I know. I know. You don't
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: inform him. You invite him. Come into my good decision,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Come into my bad decision. Come into what I regret,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: coming into the place where I reacted out of my
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: emotions rather than your word. I invite you into this situation.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I invite you into this. I invite you into the job.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't have took the deal. I shouldn't have done
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the place. I need your direction because my mouth gets
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: me in trouble. I need your word to prevail over
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: my word so that I can be better heard and
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: be more infective. I invite you. Let's just take a
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: moment right now and invite him. Let's invite him. Let's
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: invite him. Let's invite him. Let's invite him. See, you
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: got ready to praise, but I want you to pray.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Let's invite him. Let's invite him. My house shall be
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: called a house of prayer. You've made it a d
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: end of thieves, but it should be called a house
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: of prayer. Jesus' conviction about prayer is evident throughout the scriptures.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Is it is so evident throughout the scriptures that he
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: tantalizes until they taught us, teach us to pray, Because
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: every time they turned around over and over again, Jesus
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: slips away from the crowd and his responsibility to spend
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: time in prayer. His benefits are demonstrated through his life.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: His benefits are demonstrated through his life to the point
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: did they finally say, you're teaching us about the kingdom.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: The Kingdom of Heaven is likeing. The Kingdom of Heaven
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: is like it. The Kingdom of Heaven is like it.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: But what you're not teaching us is, every so often
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: you go apart to the mountain by yourself and hide
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: yourself behind a rock and do something that makes you
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: able to walk on water when you come out. Teach
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: us how to do that. Teach us how to do
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: that right there. Teach us how to do that right there.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Teach us how to do that right there. Teach us
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: how to do that right there. They had seen him
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: do it in so many different ways. And I'm going
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: to give you a few ways that Jesus models prayer
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: and the benefits of pray for you to jump down.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Number one, Peace in the storm. Peace in the storm
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: is a result of communion with God. They are in
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: a tornado and Jesus is at rest. This is what
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: prayer does for you. It braces you against external extremities
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: so that you're not always reacting to what you see
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: going on around you. When you have a lifestyle of prayer,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: you don't act like the crowd, everybody screaming and running
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: and jumping off the boat. But when you've been talking
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: to God before the storm, you have peace in the storm.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Oh y'all, don't hear what I'm saying. I got chill
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: bumps from RM. You got peace in the middle of
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the storm. Is there anybody in here that's had unexplainable peace?
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: You don't even know. It's not even your character, is
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: not even your nature. That comes from having a consistent
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: prayer life, not a church prayer life, not an old
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: out God who rules the winds and wheeze had stet
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: his only eternity and overlooks the cords of time in
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: tonight prison. No, no, no, no. This is a kind
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: of prayer where you driving down the road said Jesus,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know what we're gonna do about this, but
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I'm trusting you about that, And if you don't want
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: me to do this, I need you to This a
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: kind of prayer that is not eloquent. It is just
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: you krd of somebody hollered hell woman who said that
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: who authored that book or her daughter was grievously vexed
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: with the devil. She didn't have time to be eloquent.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: When you're in a fight with the devil, you don't
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: have time to be eloquent. We don't need an extra
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: size in your vocabulary. We don't need you to tune up.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: We need you to open your mouth. And the benefits
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: of prayer is demonstrated in the storm. How you react
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: to the storm determines how far you're gonna go. You
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: can't be a leader if you freak out. You gotta
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: keep a calm head in a crisis. I might freak
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: out aftter the crisis, but in the middle of a crisis,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna stand up to this. One of the things
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I love about my wife, I love about her. My
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: wife does not feak freak out in a crisis. No,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: she goes into lockdown mode. Like some of you have
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: not seen. Now. Two weeks later she may burst into tears.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: But while you are in the store, she gonna box
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: like Mike Tyson. She gonna bit No. Let me tell you, girl,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: you're bad with that. She gonna box like Mike Tyson.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I was raised to box like that. I was raised
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: to fight like that. If you started getting hysterical, my
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: mother would slap you. She said, you may not have
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the peace of God. But you're gonna have the piece
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: of older because I'm gonna knock you out. You hold
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: it together, You hold it together. I couldn't even fall
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: a part at her funeral because I could hear her
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I was about to collapse. We were closing the casket
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: and I was about to collapse, and I could hear
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: her say, what good would that do? Discipline? Discipline over
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: your emotions. Discipline we have. We have a generation and
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about all of us, all agents that are
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: lives in this air. I'm diciplin people who say whatever
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: they think, however they think whatever they want to. You
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: don't have no prayer life. You talk to people when
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: you ought to be talking to God. If you start
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: talking to God in a change how you talk to people.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Come on, somebody us demonstrates prayer for them Number two,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: deliverance for others. He comes down off of the amount
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: of transfiguration. The Disciples have been wrestling with this boy,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: fighting for his life. He's casting himself into the water,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: he's casting himself into the fire. They cannot control this demon.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: I want to talk to some people who have a
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: demon us out of control in your life and you
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: cannot control it. And when Jesus comes down, the boy's
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: father embarrasses the disciples by saying, I brought him to
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: your disciples and they couldn't do nothing with him. There
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: are some things you have to bring directly to Jesus.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: You don't need an appointment with the bishop. You don't
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: need an appointment with a counselor you don't need an
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: appointment with a team. Some selfing you got it. Some
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: demons you got to take to Jesus. Never mind the
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: fact that the boy got in the fire but didn't
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: get burned up, and got in the water and they
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: never drowned. Jesus is already present, But you're tired of
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: going through the struggle, had to fight and the war
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: for Jesus says, bring him to me. And afterwards the
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: disciples asked him what we're wrong? And I respect him
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: for that, because no failure makes you a failure until
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: unless you will not examine what did I do wrong?
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: If you learn from it, it can't be a failure.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, you didn't do anything wrong. Is what you
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: didn't do? This time cometh out by much prayer and fasting,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: So Jesus is gradually teaching them about prayer. Number three,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: he teaches him submission to the process through prayer. He
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: teaches him that when it gets hard, to submit to
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the process, and it often does, and it even did
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: for Jesus. So stop trying to sell me this bill
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: that everything is easy for you. If it got hard
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: for Jesus, I know it got hard for you. So
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: shut up. If he just wiped my faith, it ain't no.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Shut up, shut up, chot up, chat up, hut up.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: You a lie, a hypocrite too. It got hard for Jesus,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: and Jesus took his inner circle out to the garden
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: against semity, just so that he would be able to
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: pray his way into submission to the process. Father, if
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: it be thy will pass has been a comfort me.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Sometimes God's will will carry you through roads you don't
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: want to ride on. Oh y'all, don't hear talk to
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: me somebody. Sometimes God's will will carry you through roads
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: you don't want to ride on. Roads you didn't pick,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: roads you didn't foresee, roads you didn't design, and frankly,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: roads you don't lack. But it's still God's will. Because
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: God is not in your life for your lacks. Oh,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: y'all get to hear me. That was so good. God
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: is not in your life for your lacks. And Jesus,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Jesus goes into the garden of gas Simone and says,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: this is how you submit to the part you don't like,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: because God will send what you don't like to kill
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: your flesh. You know, the cross was designed to kill
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: the flesh, and the flesh will always scream out when
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the nails go in. And Jesus goes to the garden
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: and prays, so he has grace for the cross. I've
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: always thought that we paid more attention to the cross
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: than we do the garden, because the cross is only
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: where he demonstrated the power of the garden. You trying
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: to deal with the cross and you don't have no
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: garden of prayer. I come to the garden alone, well,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Julius steal along the road and the voice.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Falling on mind, the sun of God this close, And
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: who walks with me?
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he talks with me. Yet he tells me he's
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: on and the job we shall come on.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Help we.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: No noes, Heather. I wish we sung some of that
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: stuff again. I wish we sung some of that stuff
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: again that encouraged people to come to the garden of prayer.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Number four, the pardoning of guilt and sin. He teaches
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: us this so prayer when the when the man sick
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: of palsy is carried by four people and they have
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: to climb up the wall. Imagine carrying a man who
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: is a sick of palsy paralyzed up the wall, across
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: the roof with four people and lower him down into
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: the presence of Jesus. And Jesus says to him, son,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: thy sins are forgiven THEE. And then they doubted that
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: he had the right to do that. He said, what
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: is easier to say, son, thy sins are forgiven THEE?
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Or take up your bed and walk? Is there a
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: correlation between the palsy and the sin because Jesus prioritized
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: the forgiveness of sin over the pain that brought him
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: to Jesus. Could the pain have caused the paralysis? Are
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: you carrying guilt that you can't get rid of to
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: the point that he's showing up in infirmities in your body?
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Are you carrying too much that you're not even designed for?
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Do you go to God in prayer? Go to God
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: in prayer. I don't mean like you down nine one one.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: I mean on a daily, continual basis that flushes your
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: soul of the toxicity. You so careful about what you eat.

  Speaker 1: I don't eat them. Pat You're so careful about what
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: you put in your body. No, are you careful about
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: what you put in your soul? Are you careful about

• 36:58
  Speaker 1: change how you react. You can take up your bed
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: and walk when you get rid of your guilts. Number five,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Prayer is your secret weapon. Prayer is your secret weapon.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus teaches in the text that when you pray, don't
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: be out in the streets praying like the pharisees, he said,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: But go into your secret closet and shut the door,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: and he says to God, who hears in secret, will
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: reward you in the open. If you want to be
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: a public success, you gotta be a private prayer. Oh y'all,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: they gonna help me. If you're gonna be a public success,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: you gotta be a private prayer warrior. What happens on
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: the outside is determined by what happens on your knees.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Get down on your knees and pray. Shut your mouth
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: and pray. Shut your fuss and pray. Get down on
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: your knees and seek God's face. Prayer is your secret weapon.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: You got it. It's in there. It's somewhere down in
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: their pocketbook. It's something down up under that makeup. You
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: got more makeup than prayer. But if you dig down
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: in that bag deep enough, we get hit me. I
• 38:23

• 42:33
  Speaker 1: said the most interesting thing to me when I was studying.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: He said, I want you to understand that prayer is
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: a part of self care. You ever talked about it.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: You gotta get self care. You got to get self care.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: You gotta get self care. Self care is soul care.

  Speaker 1: Prayer is a part of self care. The psychologists and
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: the psychiatrists were here. They would tell you. The journal
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit says, prayer is journaling with God. Tell

  Speaker 1: you really him well, whether you feel the lod you

  Speaker 1: you know that. See, the old folks knew how to

• 44:34
  Speaker 1: they might not have got a massage, they might not
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: have played around of golf. They didn't have the money
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: to do all of that, but they were shutting themselves up.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: As Oh God, in the name of Jesus, I broached
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: our tone. I know you lift its burning Lord, if
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: you don't get it out, I can't take this little hold.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: I know it's old fashion, I know it's not contemporary.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: I know it's not your style, but this old fashioned
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: w fighting right now, you're gonna have to get your
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Grandmama's walk clothes out and declare war over. Anybody hear
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Anybody hear what I'm saying. Anybody hear
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, clap your hands and give me thirty
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: suck of the praise. Do you not know that prayer
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: will tip the scales in your favor. Prayer will tip
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: the scales in your favor. Your daughter needs to see
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: you pray. Your son needs to see you pray, not
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: just when you in front of people. It needs to
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: not be strange to come in your house and hear
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: your mama praying. Your house to be called a house
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: of prayer, you gotta bring prayer back in your house.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: Cut off the housewives of la and the house wire
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: of Atlanta, and the housewives of actors, and the housewives
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: the movie stars, and get down on your knees and
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: start calling on jeeves. When I say, prayer will tip
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: the scales in your favor, We're not praying about yesterday
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: because there's nothing that can be done about yesterday. You
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: got to come out of yesterday. There's nothing nobody can
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: do about yesterday. You don't see anywhere in the Bible
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: where anybody is praying about yesterday, and yet every time
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: you get a microphone you crying about yesterday. Come out
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: of your history, Come out of your history. It don't
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: matter who is right. It don't matter who is wrong.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: You got a devil in front of you to fight.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: You can't fight the devil behind you and have your
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: hands free for the devil in front of you. Who
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: am I talking to? So sit down, I gotta hear it.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: I'm run out of town. Yeah, you can't stay if
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: you don't pray. I like that. I'm gonna rest through this.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Worry nullified prayer. So over and over Jesus says, do knock.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: It's not a request, it's a command. Do not worry.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Worry nullified prayer. You can pray real good, but if
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: you worry better, then you pray. You nullified what you
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: prayed for. Worry nullified prayer. It cancels out prayer. Worry
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: is to have faith in the negative. Worry is faith
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: turned inside out. Worry is responding to the negative voice
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: louder than you do the positive. Your thought life is
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: infected by worry. You can't make sound decisions when you're worrying.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Anxiety is literally worrying. About tomorrow, worrying about something that
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: hadn't even happened yet. Where we're gonna say, what we're
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: gonna do? What did that of it? You want to
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: know everything you control? Freak. You profess to walk by
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: faith and not by sight, and yet you want to
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: know everything about something that hadn't even happened yet. You're
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: making yourself anxious, You're making yourself sick, You're making yourself
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: hard to live with because you think everybody, everybody has
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: to report to your office. God is not gonna report
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: to your office. He's not gonna give you details. You're
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: just gonna have to walk out there to a place
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I will show you, And when you get there, I'm
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: gonna show it to you. And you gotta walk by faith.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: And God knows you don't like it, and God knows
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: you ain't good at it, but you gotta get good
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: at it. Dig down in your pocket book and get
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: your weapons out, because one of those weapons is resisting
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: the temptation to worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow belongs. Say
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: it again, Say it again. The thief is on the
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: cross and he's dying, and he's nailed to the tree,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: and he's getting ready to go, and all he has
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: God to do is remember me. When you get to
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: the kingdom, just remember me. He didn't ask him save me.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: He just said, just remember me. Just just remember me
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: when you get to the kingdom. Tomorrow belongs to God.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna share one more quick scripture and then I'm
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: gonna move on. Take me, take me to Jezebel, Take
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: me to Jezebel in my mouth, take me to yeah
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: one Kings nineteen one through eight, and get this, get
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: this in my mouth. I just in fact, I don't
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: want to even have to go to eighty. I think
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: I can go to three and get it now. Ain't
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Half told Jezebel everything Elijah had done, and how he
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: had killed all the prophets with the sword. So Jezebel
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: sent a messenger. So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Jezebel sent a worrying messenger to Elijah. Jezebel sent the
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: spirit of worry to Elijah. It would only work if
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: she threatened him. She didn't kill him, she just threatened him.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Isn't it funny how there will always be somebody to
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: bring you back news to worry. You listen to what
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. Jezebel didn't killing. She sent a messenger to
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: threaten him. What is threatening you? What I'm asking you
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: a question? What is threatening you? Jezebel sent that message.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Idolatrous Jezebel. Prophet killing Jezebel, praise killing Jezebel, faith killing Jezebel.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Comfort killing Jezebel, comfort is disrupting. Jezebel will always send
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: you a message. And this is a message. May the
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: this time tomorrow, I do not make your life like
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: one of them other prophets I killed. Elijah was a
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: friend and ran for his life. Elijah, who didn't run
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: from nothing, ran from worry. When he came to Besheba
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: in Judah, he left his servant there because sometimes, like
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Jesus in Yosemone, you can't take nobody with you. Why
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness. He
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: came to a broom bush. The King jamesons the juniper tree,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: sat down under it and prayed that he might die.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: I want to speak to every person who's trapped and
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: so worried that you want to die Tomorrow belongs to God. No, no, no,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: get this. Your worried to death or in pain about yesterday.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: Yesterday is trying to get you to kill tomorrow. And
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: you don't know what a day will bring. She said,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: if I don't take you out in the next twenty
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: four hours, may the gods deal with me. I'm gonna
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: kill you, just like I kill the others. And he
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: started running and got up under the tree and said,
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: if I'm gonna die, God, I want you to take me.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: He said, I have had enough, Lloyd. I want to
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: honest answer. How many people have said to God I
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: have had enough. Elijah came to God and said I
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: have had enough. Now. He is a day's journey in
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: his travels and doesn't notice that Jezbel is a liar.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: For him to be a live to complain is a
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: miracle because she said tomorrow. She said, by this time tomorrow,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I will take your life. And he ought to be
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: shouting up under the juniper tree, because twenty four hours
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: later he's still alive. Let me tell you, some of
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: you are worried about stuff you ought to be shouting about,
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: because it the devil had his way, he would have
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: took you out by now. But because tomorrow belongs to God,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: I want somebody who's living in a miracle, who's standing
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: in faith to God some glory right now. No, no, no, no.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: I want somebody that the enemy tried to take out
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: and threaten you all your life and sat by this
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: time tomorrow, I'm gonna destroy you and you are still alive,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: to get abound from under that cute stuff and praise
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: God like your grateful Tell your neighbor all three of them.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow belongs to God, Tomorrow belongs to God. Tomorrow belongs
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: to God. If it didn't belong to God, I'd be dead.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: If it didn't belong to God, I'd have a nervous breakdown.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: If it didn't belong to God, I'd lose my mind.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: If it lor with God, I throw into town. If
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: it did belong to God, I blow my brains out.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: But tomorrow belongs to God. Hallelujah, hallelujah. You're walking in
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Yesterday's tomorrow. Nothing you went through took you out. If
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: you survived yesterday, you can survive today. And if you

• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: doors open. If you would have ever told me that
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: I would end up here. A prophetess came to our church,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: and she prophesied. She was from Georgia. Her name was
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: evangelist Bernice I think Johnson, she said. She said, God
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: said He's gonna send you five hundred souls. I'm driving

  Speaker 1: a nineteen sixty five Valiant and it was old end.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: It's old now, but it was old end. It was rusty,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: and the floorboard was rusted out of it. And I'm
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: loaded down carrying the members back home. Brother Moore says
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: to me, Pastor, if the Lord give us five hundred souls,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: where we're gonna put 'em? Because the church seated about
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: eighty people. Look around. I didn't plan it, I didn't
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: orchestrate it. I didn't see it coming. I didn't have
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: the vision to see this far down the road. I
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: remember they had my anniversary and I got so depressed.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: I wanted to quit because hardly anybody came, and all
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: the guests passed. His members were there and none of
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: mine showed up. And I was so depressed. I wanted
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: to quit. I wanted to quit. I almost quit right then.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: It just was so humiliating, and I wanted to quit.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize that tomorrow belongs to God. When we
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: were in the house and coming home from church, Sweda
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: and the lights was off and we told the boys
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: we was playing a game, and the game was to
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: see who could get to the bed first without stumping
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: their toe won aprize. I couldn't afford. Do you remember
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: when I used to climb out of the bedroom one
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: that night into the part of the house that we
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: started building, and I couldn't finish, and you kept telling
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: me everything was okay and it didn't matter whether we
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: had any money or not, And I was climbing out
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: of the window worrying about how I was gonna get
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: us out of that situation. Tomorrow belongs to God. I
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: wasn't even trying to get here. I was no, no, no, no,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: no no. I wasn't trying to get here. I was
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: trying to get all my utilities on At the same time.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: I was trying to get a Sears Resvo revolving credit
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: card so we could get stuff we needed for the
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: house and buy clothes and take care of the babies.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: I was trying to get diapers that didn't require duct tape.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: I am telling you, you understand what I'm talking about.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: I am telling you that tomorrow belongs to car. Yesterday morning,
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: I talked to two senators on the phone, and Puffy
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: called me and asked me to ask you to pray
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: for him because he's getting ready to host Billboard tonight
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: Billboard Awards tonight at eight o'clock. He called somebody who
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: didn't even have their phone on yesterday and today heads
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: estate and people around the world are calling a guy
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: who couldn't keep his phone on. You understand what I'm
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: telling you when I tell you tomorrow belongs to God.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to hype you up. I'm telling you stuff.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: I absolutely know. We didn't wait until we got to
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: tomorrow to praise Him. We had all night shut in.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: We praised God with no lights on. We praised God
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: when the gas was off and the house was cold.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: And you remember when we had kerosene heaters trying to
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: heat the house in the bedroom because we didn't have
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: gas on, and we were shouting in. Now you know
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: if I was shouting in, you know that gum. Well,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: I'm shout now, and I rebuke any lion spirit that
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: would ever insinuate that I'm doing this for money. I
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: did this with no lights. I did this with no water.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: I did this with no car, I did this with
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: no food in the house. I praised God when I
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: didn't know what we were gonna eat the next day.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: I praised God when we were gathering apples to feed
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: the kids because we had no groceries. I praised God
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: when we were taking pop bottles up to the seventy
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: eleven and rolling up corners trying to get money to
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: buy enough to feed my kids. How damn you and
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: so me go, How dal you? It sought me to
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: come in at the end of the movie and think
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: you understand the story, How value it sult me. I
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: am living in my tomorrow. I am living in my tomorrow, man,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: and my yesterday earned me the right to stand where
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: I'm standing right now. Colin Luia, I know what I'm
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: talking about. Tomorrow belongs to God, and if God decides
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: to bless you, no devil, no wits, no x, no spell,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: no mistake, no failure, no sin, no shortcoming, nothing can
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: stop God. If God gets ready to bless you, tomorrow
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: belongs to God. That Jezebel curse that keeps you up
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: at night is a lion spirit from the pit. I'm
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: not saying you won't go through tests. I'm not saying
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: you won't go through trials. I'm not saying you're gonna
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: get everything you want. But I'm telling you that God
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: has an expected end for your life, and that his
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: thoughts are good towards you and not evil. And whatever
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: comes and whoever goes, God is still gonna bless you.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: And you stop worrying about your future. God has got it.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow belongs to God. Who am I preaching to young people?
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: I know you're scared. The times are shaking, the odds
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: are said against you. You got degrees you can't pay for.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: You've prepared yourself for something that don't even exist. I
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: know that sometimes, even though you're doing it, you're wondering,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: am I enough? And I know how frightening it is
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: to be young and out there and shocked by how
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: much it takes to be out there. It takes a lot.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: It takes a lot of money, a lot of strength,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of wisdom, a lot of planning, and it's
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: the slow death of having fun and flesh. And I
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: know you're worried, and I know you're scared, But I
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: got old to tell you. I got old to tell
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: you I was you and if I made it, if
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: he did it for me, he'll do it for you.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: And whatever he gave you is enough to get you
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: to where you're trying to go. Do not doubt him
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: at this stage. To my generation, stop telling yourself to die.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: Stop wishing yourself to death. Stop telling yourself you're old.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: Stop listening at the aches and pains in your body.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: As long as you have breadth, as long as you
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: have presence of mind, as long as you can contribute,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: keep on doing what you're doing. Motion is loosen. Keep
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: it moving, baby girl, keep it moving. If death gets you,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: let it have to chase you down. It's gonna have
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: to run up and hit me in the back of
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: my head. I'm not gonna lay down and roll over
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: and give up because you think I'm supposed to. The
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: devil is alive. I'll fight you on a cane. I'll
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: fight you on a walker. I'll hit you in the
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: head with a stick. I go when he says go,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: I come when he says come. Tomorrow belongs to God.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: If God spoke to you today, lift your hands and
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: open your mouth and give him praise. Right now, give
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: me a moment and let me share something with you.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: I am not inviting you. When I invite you to Jesus,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: I am not inviting you to a religion. I am
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: inviting you to a relationship. If you get the religious
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: part of it and you don't get the relationship, it
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: ain't gonna do you no good. It is not the
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: mere ceremonies. When you go out of service, there are
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: going to be people being baptized. The baptism is the
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: outwards of the inward transformation. If you don't have an
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: inward transformation, you go in and dry devil and you
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: come up a wet one. It starts when you give
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: your heart to Jesus. You know why. Tomorrow belongs to
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: God and tomorrow no wait, wait, wait, wait, don't clock.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow is daunting for everybody, young and old, rich and poor,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: black and white. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: you're politics. Tomorrow is daunting. It's tough. Don't you dare
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: think you can take it on without Jesus. Don't you
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: dare think you're slick enough to take it on without Jesus.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: You need Jesus in your life, I mean, not Sunday
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: in your life, to keep you sane, to keep you going.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: Everyone standing with your head bow. If there's a person
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: in this room who is recognizing your need for God.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: If there's a person in this room who understood what
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: I was preaching, and you know that your tomorrow belongs
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: to God, and that nothing about your history can destroy
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: your destiny. But you need God's direction to put you
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: into the right place at the right time. Not just
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: to be successful, to be sane, to be a survivalist,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: to be sustainable. You need God. You can't change where
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: you started, but you can change where you end up.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: I invite you to walk down this hole and come
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: to this altar and give your life to Jesus. And
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: I can't make you, but I can invite you. He
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: will not break into your life. It is by invitation only.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: And you're walking down the house says this is important
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: to me. I'm going to seek first the Kingdom. I've
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: been thinking. I have been seeking all these things more
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: than I've been seeking God. I will seek first the
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: unto me if you're in this room, and I'm not
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: going to wait long, because I preach strong enough that
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: if the Holy Ghost don't draw you, stay where you at.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: If there's a son or daughter or grandmama or mama
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: or daddy or single parent in this room who needs
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: God to face tomorrow. Come down to this hawking, come
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: down to this halting. I don't care the color of
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: your skin. I don't care your network. I don't care
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: if you're worth billions or pennies. You still need Jesus.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you got more degrees than I
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: can count up on my head from all the most prestigious.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: I be need colleges. You still need Jesus. You're tomorrow
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: is still I'm certain you need God and you need
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: it now. You need God and you need it now.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: You need God and you need him now to bless you. Certain.

• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: in a truck all the way up here to be
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: in our service. Give God, Praise you. See. Peter and
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: John came and our prayer and found the layman at
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: the gate called beautiful. The lame man needed Peter and
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: John because he was lame. But Peter and John needed
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: the lame man too, because he gave him purpose, and
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: he gave him meaning. You gave me purpose, man, You
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: gave me meaning. You got me out of the bed
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: every morning. You gave me something to fight for. You
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: gave me something more important than my flesh. You gave
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: me something more important than myself. And together we are
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: here today in the tomorrow that we never dreamed of,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: and we made it. And you're free and I'm free,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: and we're a whole and we celebrate together. That is
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: the gospel story. That is the Gospel made flesh. That
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: is the Word made flesh. Who else is coming? Who
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: else is coming? This is a moment of transformation. If
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: you're on the line, the information is on the screen.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: Our pre warriors are waiting on you. You can come
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: to Christ right in your living room. You don't have
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: to be in this church. He'll come right where you are.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: Come right now, last call, lest call, bow your hands.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: I want to pray with you. The hard work has
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: already been done. The preaching of the golfel produces faith.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: Faith produces salvation. This is just a moment of confession
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: and open confession and declaration that this is a turning
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: point for you in your life, whether you are a
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: backsladder returning back to God or whether you are first
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: time convert. The same blood that cleanses the backsladder cleanses
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: the sinner. There are not two different kinds of blood.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: It is just one blood. It is the blood of Jesus.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: He paid for your right to come back. He paid
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: for your right to be renewed. He paid for your
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: right to be strengthened. He paid for you, He paid
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: for your peace, He paid for your sanity. God cares
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: about how your mind is, he said, do not worry,
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: because he's watching your head. He loves you. He loves you.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 4: He may not.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: Condone everything you do, but he loves you. You are
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: not what you did. He loves you. Right now, I
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: bring your sons and daughters to you, your sheep that
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: have gone astray. I lay them at the feet of
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: the shepherd. And oh how you love them, Oh how
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: you love them, Oh how you shed your blood for them.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: Oh how you washed him, Oh how you cleanse it?
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: How you break curses off of them, Oh, how you
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: suffered for them so that they could have sanity and sanctity,
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: so that they could have dignity, so that they could
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: be at peace. I pray that not one soul around
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: this altar would ever be the same again, that the
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: power of God would move in their life in supernatural ways,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: that they would leave better than they came, That they
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: would be made whole and set free, that shame and
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: guilt that has caused them dis ease and disgrace would
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: be washed away, that chapa washed away, washed away, washed
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: out of their mind, washed out of their spirit, and
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: that they would be made whole. And I decree and
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: declare that it is done right now in the name
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: of Jesus, and the whole church celebrated, and the whole
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: church celebrated now quickly before I dismissed the service, passing Michael,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: I want you to come dismiss the service before I
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: dismissis service. If there are people in the audience or
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: people at the altar who would like to be members
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: of the Potter's House, I want to be your pastor.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: I want to be your pastor. In the autumn of
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: my life I want to leave a deposit in you
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: that would stay with you the rest of your life.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: I believe that God has given me something that belongs
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: to you, and if he can get it through me,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: he will give it to me. And if I'm minister
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: in such a way and this church ministers in such
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: a way that your soul resonates with it, I don't
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: care about your background, your ethnicity, your age. I don't
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: care whether you old on a walk or or young
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: in a baby blanket. I want to be your pastor.

• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: gonna always be able to stand by each other and
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: support each other in good times and in bad. In

  Speaker 1: be in the same space and love each other because
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: of Jesus. This is what's going wrong in our country.

  Speaker 1: get that. And I'm calling you together, and I'm calling
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: you to stand together. And I know we come from
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: different ends of town. How many people come from North Dallas?
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: Make some noise if you come from North Dallas. How
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: many of you come from Desoda? How many have you

• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: Fort Worth? I don't care where you come from or
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: what you drive. The church should transcend all of that stuff.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: Ye'll get it. We got people listening at me on translators.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: We got people who are speaking Portuguese. We got people
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: who are speaking Spanish. We got people listening who speak Swakil.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: We translate into ninety different languages. I bet you they're
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: that at least sixty thousand to ninety thousand people watching
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: me online right now from all over the world. We
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: need to show them a better America, a better Christianity,
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: a better faith, a better walk with God.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 6: Are you hearing me?
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Michael's pastor Phillips is gonna
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: pray you out. Listen. There are too many lonely people
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: standing here. How can we have this many people and
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: have people lonely? How can we come together and talk
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: about Jesus, and you go home to isolation with nobody
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: to talk to and nowhere to go. The reason I
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: call you together as a family is because I don't
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: want you to just come here and watch a movie.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: I want you to have an experience that creates bonding
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: and closeness and communication where you can keep it real,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: even if keeping it real means talking about stuff that's wrong.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: Tired of bearing fulmers. I'm tired, y'all. I'm tired of
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: caskets rolling in and out tied. It's gotta be a
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: better answer. Are you with me? And I know it's
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: COVID and we supposed to be careful and all that
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Put your hand on somebody's shoulder, just
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: to let 'em know that that they not alone. Loneliness
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: is killing us. Oh, come on past the phillips. As
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: as we pray out, I want you all to say
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: something about love, or something about brotherhood, or something about family.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: I want you to find something to sing that draws
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: people together, because the only thing that would overcome hate
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: is love. Are y'all with me? Faster, have final words,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: talk to us and take us out. Thank you, Bishop?
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 6: Can we thank God for our Bishop, just for a moment,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 6: look at somebody, say tomorrow belongs to the Lord.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: Come on, put your hand on that shoulder, that person
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: right next to you. Leave no one left out.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 6: Father, we come to you right now, understanding the complexity
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 6: of our times, but knowing we do not serve and ambigorous.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: God, for we know that all things work.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 6: Together for the good of those who love the Lord
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 6: and are called according to your purpose.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: So, Father, we step into the.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 5: Unforced rhythm of your grace, and we lay our anxiety down.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 5: We lay our anxiety down because we will not allow
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 5: the limits of time to produce unlimited anxiety in our life.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: We will give no thought for tomorrow, for tomorrow belongs
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 7: And because there is still a fountain filled with your
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 7: precious blood that was drawn from Emanuel's veins. We will
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 7: be at peace because we have the power, the tools,
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 7: the weaponry to plead the blood of Jesus. So over
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 7: every household, over every family, over every individual.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 8: Father, we plead the blood of Jesus, our loved ones,
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 8: over every individual we're worried about. We plead the blood
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 8: of Jesus over those who are shudding and sick, and
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 8: those who are infirmed, we plead the blood of Jesus.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 8: Let your precious healing blood flow to every person that we.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: Are worried about.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 8: Now, Father, may your peace, that passive all understanding God.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: Our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 8: Now unto him who is able to keep us from
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 8: falling and present us faults for the presence of His glory.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 8: To the only wise God be glory, majesty, dominion, and
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 8: power in Jesus' name.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: Somebody say, Amen, God, bless you. We love you. Love
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: somebody on the way out see you on, said I.
