The Hidden Side Effect of Being Strong Bishop T.D. Jakes (2) · Healing the Strong Ones: Faith & Purpose

  Speaker 1: Bible then turned to Judges chapter thirteen, verse one through eight.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: The Book of Judges, chapter thirteen, verse one through eight.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: And when you have it, say man, and I want
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: you to listen very closely attentively to what is being
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: said here, because it recognizes and acknowledges the end of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: an era and the beginning of another one. And we're
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: standing right at the hinge of a door of a
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: great shift, as we are now, as we are right
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: now and again the Israelites did evil in the eyes
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of Yahweh, and Yahweh gave them into the hand of
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the Philistines forty years. I gotta stop there and thank
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: God that God has a beginning and an end of trouble,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: that trouble don't last. Always that if you had a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: going in date, you gotta coming out date. Come on
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: with me, somebody, Okay. There was a certain man from Zorah,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: from the tribe of the Danites, and his name was Manoa.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: His wife was infertile and did not bear children. And
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: an angel of Yahweh appeared to the woman, and he
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: said to her, behold, you are infertile and have not
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: born children. But you, oh God, will put that bdy
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: there in a minute. But you will conceive and bear
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a son, So then be careful and do not drink
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: because you will conceive and bear a son. No razor
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: will touch his head, because the boy will be a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Nazarite of God from birth, and it is he who
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: will begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And the woman came and told her husband, saying, a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: man of God came to me, and his appearance was
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: like the appearance of an angel of God, very awesome.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I believe it's a theophany anytime it looks like a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: man of God, yet she calls it an angel. A
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: theophany is just a manifestation of Jesus Christ in the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Old Testament. I did not ask him from where he came,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: and he did not tell me his name. Huh uh, huh, yeah, yeah,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I'm on something. And he said to me, look, you
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: will conceive and bear a son, So then do not
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: for the boy will be a Nazarite of God from
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: birth until the day of his death. Good God. Then
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Manoah prayed to your way and said, excuse me, my Lord,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: please let the man of God whom you sent again
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: come to us and teach us what we should do
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: concerning the boy who will be born? Can you say amen? Now,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to preach from a subject that doesn't even
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: seem relative to the text. But when I finish with it,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it's going to make sense. I'm gonna pre side effects,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: side effects. Let's pray together while we're standing, Spirit of
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the Living God fall fresh on us. Now as we
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: delve into the word of God, we thank you Lord
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: for what you have prescribed for us, for what you
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: have designated for us will shortly come to pass. You
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: have goden God, all by yourself. You need no one
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to vote you in, and can't nobody put you out.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: They cannot impeach you. You are sovereign, You are your way.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: You are the absolute God. You are before there was
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: where or when, or this or that or Alpha or Amiga.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: You alone are God. Nobody can take you, nobody can
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: move you, nobody can break you. You are our God,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and you dwell amongst us. Have your way as we
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: habnackle up under the tent of your word, that we
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: might hear what the spirit of the Lord is saying
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to the charge, because we need a word for you.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: We wrestle with unreasonable men. We live in unreasonable times.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: We leave in times Lord where the philistines are upon us,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and we need the annating to break the yth. Step in,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Great God that you are, and move in the midst
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of your people. We have no other God to call
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: on but you. If there be any ratification, if there
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: be any justice, if there be any righteousness, it must
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: come down from heaven above. And so therefore God, we
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: commend our future into your hands. Have your way of God.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, I thank you any bands
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: for what you're going to do. Do it. Do it
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: like nobody else can do it, but you do it
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: till we're praising God all the way home. Do it
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: till we've got tears running down our face. Do it
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: until yolks are broken and demons are defeated. Do it
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: until witches are pulling their hair, do it until curses
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: are broken. Do it in the name of Jesus. I
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: thank your poet in sheaves us name. Somebody's shout Amen,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: you may be seated. Great God, Great God, Great God,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Great God, Great God. There's been something on me lately.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I just can't hardly control it. I've been feeling God
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: pushing me in the back. I feel the anointing of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the Lord in here right now, right now. I want
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you to notice, first of all, that this presence, this
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: man's that she said appeared as an angel of God
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: reminds us that it is reminiscent of the theophonic manifestation
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ himself. Not only that, but I want
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you to know that not only is a messenger a
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: theophonic presentation of Jesus Christ himself, the situation reminds us
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: of something that will later be acted out in Jesus Christ,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: because the woman that he's talking to is barren and
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: she has not been able to produce a child. And
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: God overrules the barrenness. And you will notice the story
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: repeated over and over in the Bible with Abraham and
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Sarah and various characters in the Bible, where God opens
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: up that which is shut down. With Hannah, God opened
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: up that which is shut down with you. God opens
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: up that which is shut down and causes the unfruitful
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: to become fruitful. And one of the signs of the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: presence of God is that when an area of your
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: life that is unfruitful suddenly becomes fruitful, and you can
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: give nobody credit for it, But God, you have a
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: different kind of praise. You have a different kind of praise.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Panina couldn't praise God like Hannah did because Hannah knew
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that that was in her was there by the power
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: of God. And when you know it was there, but
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: when you know God did it, when you know God
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: did it, when you know God did it, come Hella
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: hoigh Water. You will stand on the integrity of God's
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: word and watch him perform it in your life. And
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: like Jesus' mother who encountered an angel alone, this woman
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: encounters the angel Alonde and receives a word and brings
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: it back to her husband, and she tells him there's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: something that God does with women that are willing to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: be alone. I know y'all like to run in packs,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: but I noticed something throughout the Bible that when God
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: catches you by yourself and you're not influenced by the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: voices of other people and other women in your life,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: there's the way that God will speak to you. He'll
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: speak to you while you're driving the car. He'll speak
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to you after everybody's gone to bed. He'll speak to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: you early in the morning and talk to you. He
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: has a way of showing up with women on the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: lad like he did when he said, Hell, Mary, you
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: have been highly favored amongst women. You shall bring forth
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a son, and his name shall be called Jesus. He
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: speaks to you in a way that causes other people
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: not to believe that he spoke to you, But their
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: unbelief does not make God's word of no effect. God
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: has spoken to you. He's spoken to you. Manah came
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: along and says, speak once again. He wanted to hear.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: But what God has for you is for you. And
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: God has a way of speaking to you. And if
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: you're smiling a man and a woman speaks something, especially
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: if she is a praying woman, you pay us attention.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: You pay us some attention, even if you act like
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you're not paying attention. You pay some attention because she's
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: been right so many times that you at least give
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: some consideration to her perspective, because she's a praying woman.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: If you got a praying woman, give her a hug
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: right now. Because a praying woman is a treasure. A
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: praying woman is something special. A praying woman can produce
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: things that couldn't be produced any other kind of way.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: A praying woman can have doors open up for her
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: by herself because she's a praying woman. If you got
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: a praying woman, you can be sick in your body.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: And God, I hear you. Where I was talking to
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: my wife, her kne didn't get healed till I collapsed,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: And the moment I collapsed, she got healed right on
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the spot. When you got a praying woman, God to
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: give you a miracle immediately, suddenly, without reservation. She been
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: walking ever since, wearing the heels ever since, doing what
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: she wanted to do ever since. When you got a
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: praying woman, and the odds are all against you, if
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you got a praying woman, she'll turn that thing around,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, God will do a new
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: thing in you. Oh, the power of the power, the power,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the power, the power, the power, the power, the power
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: of the power of a praying woman. I use the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: term side effects because I was watching TV, and it
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: used to be when you watch TV, they would advertise
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the medicine but not the side effects. But they started
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to getting sued so much. Then now at the end,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: even if they have to speed up the voice and
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: talk real fast, they make sure that you understand that
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: with the prescription comes side effects. And I'm glad they
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: do it because sometimes the side effects are worse than
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the problem. They say, if you got dry eyes and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: a running nose, you take this pill, you may experience bleeding,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you may have insomnia, you may break out in sweats
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the day. You may not be
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: able to walk, you may only have two toes. And
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I started thinking, I'd rather go ahead and have the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: dry high than to deal with the side of effects.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: My God, maybe it's just me. But them side effects,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the side effects of the things that people try to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: leave out, they go along with the prescription. Prescription is
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: a term that is used to where the doctor has
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: ridden out in advance something that you're going to take
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that's going to change your tomorrow. You take it today,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it changes your tomorrow. It is a prescription. In theology,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: we would call it a prophecy. Yeah, a word that
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: over time it begins to work in your life. But
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: even with the prophecy, understand that God doesn't always give detail.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Even God doesn't tell you about the side effects. Abraham, Abraham,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: take now the only son to a place that I
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: will show you now. He didn't tell him about the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: side effects. He didn't tell him about the trouble he
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: would run into. He didn't tell him that the servants
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: would leave him halfway up the mountain. He didn't tell
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: him that he'd have to tie him down and raise
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: his knife to slay his son. Didn't tell him about
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the ram and the bush. Because the trying of your
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: faith doesn't give you details. The trying of your faith
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: doesn't give you details. He just gives you the perview.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: But he just gives you the preview, but he doesn't
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: give you the details of prescription side effects, the circumstances,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and the situation. That I read this text, and I said, Lord,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: you didn't tell them about the side effects. You told
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: this baron woman that she would bring forth the son,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and that her son would save his people from forty
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: years of Philistinian domination. But you didn't tell him. You
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: didn't tell them that they were going to have all
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: kind of trouble out of that son. You didn't tell
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: them that that son was going to have to fight
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: for it, that he was going to have to prove
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: himself that he was going to be tested. You didn't
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: tell him, and so we are so preoccupied with the
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: prescription that we notice the side effects. I went to
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Sunday school. They taught me about Samson when I was
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: a little boy, and they had this big, burly guy
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: standing up. There's a picture. He had triceps and biceps
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and muscles and everything, and he looked all muscular. And
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: they showed him doing lifting up gates and throwing gates
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: on people, and taking the jawbone of an ass and
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: killing ten thousand Philistine, And they showed him like he
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: was a superhero, like he was a Marvel carried to.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: But that diminishes the power of the texts, because if
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Samson had been powerful outwardly, then Delilah would have never
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: had to ask him where does your strength come from?
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: That means that there is a strength that you can't see.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: That means that he might have been tiny and scrawny,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: because she couldn't figure out how a man that looked
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: like him could do what he did, just like your
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: haters can't figure out how a person like you can
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: do what you do because it is not obvious to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: people that you have as much as you have. You
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: don't walk in arrogus. Your nose is not up in
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the air. You don't flaunt your ability in front of anybody.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: But when it is needed, you have a way of
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: rising to the occasion. And the enemy doesn't understand you.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Shame on you for confusing the devil. Shame on you
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: for shocking the devil. Shame on you for coming up
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: just when he thought he had you down. And you
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: fool if you pop back up again. Just when he
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: thought you was going to die, he jumped up and
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: lived again. Just when he thought he had you truly depressed,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you got joy and started laughing. Didn't even know what
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: you was laughing about. But the joy of the Lord
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: is your strength. And he doesn't understand why you're happy.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: How they knew you. Because God has a way of
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: doing things that bottles, it boggles to human mind. It
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: leaves speechless the most talkative person. It has a way
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: of shocking people how you can find strength in strange places.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And it's something to be a strong person. To be
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: a strong person, it's frustration the devil when you're a
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: strong person, because what should have broke you didn't break.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: You.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: What should have killed you didn't kill you. What should
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: have made you collapse didn't make you collapse. What should
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: have made you an alcoholic didn't make you an alcoholic.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: What should have made you blow your brains out didn't
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: make you blow your brains out. It's something about being
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: a strong person that that's the prescription. But let me
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: tell you about the side effects. There are side effects
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: to being.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: A strong person.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: People take you for granted. When you're a strong person.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: People put more weight on you. When you're a strong person.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: People bring you your problems and their problems and somebody
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: else's problem. When you're a strong person, people don't comfort
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: you when you're a strong person, or you just made
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: like that, or you just can handle it, that's just
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: how you are. The side effects of being a strong
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: person means that many times you have to encourage yourself
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: in the lord because you're a strong person. Are there
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: any strong people in the room. You're the one the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: whole family calls on. I don't care what goes wrong.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: When things go bad, they call you because you're the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: one that comes in with the sobriety of mind and
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: a stillness of spirit, and you make decisions and you
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: execute judgment. Because you're a strong person. They don't think
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: that the weight bothers you. They don't think that the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: weight intimidates you. They don't think that the weight is
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: powerfully applied to your shoulders. They don't think that you
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: have any pain. They don't think that you have any problem.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: They don't know that you stay up at night at
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: two or three o'clock in the morning. They don't know
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the things that you endure because you make hell look easy.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it again, since about there, you make
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: hell look easy. You make it look like it doesn't
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: bother well. It's the side effects of being a strong person.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: They don't ever cuddle you. They don't ever comfort you.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: They call you and start immediately telling you about their problem.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: They don't even ask you how you are, how do
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: you feel, what's going on in your life? These are
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the side effects of being a strong person. To him
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: who much has given, much is required because you are
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: a strong person. Are there any strong people in here?
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: The problem with being a strong person is strong people
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: get tired too. Strong people hurt too. Strong people bleed too.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: You can be strong and sensitive. You can be strong
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and be weary You can be strong and be empty.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: You can be strong and be isolated. You can be
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: strong and being a struggle that nobody even understands that
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: you have a struggle, because they're so busy getting you
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: to take care of their struggle that they don't even
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: worry about your struggle. Samson did not ask for this
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: fight with the Philistines. He was he was. He wasn't
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: even asking for it when he got born, and it
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: was decided before he got there. It was pre scripted
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: for this cause he came into the world. The fight
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: will picked out for him before he made his first sound.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Some of you, the fight was picked out for you
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: before you made the first sound. You didn't pick your mama.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: You didn't pick your daddy. You didn't pick the age
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: you were born into. You didn't pick the city you
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: were in. You didn't pick the rape. You didn't pick
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the trauma. You didn't pick the situation. You were chosen
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: for adversity. God told Jeremiah before I formed the in
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the Medley, I knew thee and our dainty to be
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: a prophet unto the nature. Before you cried your first
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: out cry, before you took your first step, before you
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: took your first swallow of milk. I had already ordained
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: your step. I had already chosen you out set you aside.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: In that same way Samson was chosen and his enemy
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: was chosen, and the fight had started before they ever
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: met My God. There was a fight that was picked
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: out for you before you have even came here. You
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: don't understand why you go through what you go through,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: why you feel what you feel, why you endure what
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: you endure. It was picked out for you before you
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: got there. The Philistines were waiting for you to be born.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: You were born into a struggle. You were born into
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: a test, You were born into a dilemma. You were
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: born into a christ. It was set aside for you.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: But God equipped you before he birthed you. God equipped
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: you before he birthed you. And you can walk through
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: hell and not get burned. You can stand in the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: fiery furnace and not be sinned. You can lay down
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: and go to bed with lions and wake up in
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the morning yard. And you don't even understand how you
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: can do it yourself. But God equipped you for it.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: He built you for it. He built you to raise
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: that child. He built you to handle that circumstance. He
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: built you to handle that situation because you're a strong person.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: But the side effect is just because you're strong, don't
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: mean you don't get tired. Silence is often perceived as weakness.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: People who talk a whole lot, and they talk a
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff. I learned a long time ago. I
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: didn't learn this in the church. I learned this in
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: the street. Don't watch the guy who keep talking talking
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: about it. If you walk over here, you're gonna limp back.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: You want some of this. You come over here, you're
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: gonna run in there something. Don't watch that guy that's
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: putting on a big show and break severe bottle in
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: the club and says I wish you would. How we
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: don't watch him. Watch the guy who's sitting over there
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: calm and he ain't saying nothing. That's the one you
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: need to watch out for. Because even though silences often
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: perceived as a weakness, actually it takes great strength to
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: hold your peace. It takes a great deal of strength
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: not to speak your mind. I listened to people's talk
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: to me sometimes and I thought of a thousand things
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: to say back while they were saying their ten And
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: it took all of my strength just to sit there
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and go, because if I let that thing rip, you'll
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: be crying for two years. If I told you what
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I thought, if I told you what I came across
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: my mind, if I told you what I really thought,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: you don't want me to open my mouth. You don't
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: want me to open my mouth, because while you was
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: rawing your breath, I had already thought of one hundred
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: things I could have said by Silence does not mean weakness.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: It does not mean ignorance, It does not mean intimidation.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: It takes great power to be silent. It takes great
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: power to hold your peace. It takes great power to
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: go through a storm and not retaliate. It takes great
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: power not to defend yourself when you go to war.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Silence is a great strength. Silence, silence. The Bible said,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. In
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. When you
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: are quiet and you are confident, you have strength. You
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: know who you are. I went into a building. They
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: were trying to make a seat for me on this stage.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I said, that's all right. I said, I can sit anywhere,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: because I am no more sitting on the stage than
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I am sitting on the floor. I can sit anywhere
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: because I knew who I was when I came here.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: You don't have to give me a certain seat in
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: order for me to be what I already am. I
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: know who I am. And if you don't call my name,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: my name still got power in it. It's still got
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: it authority in it. Y'all. Don't hear what I'm saying.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Silence is a great strength. Don't let people make you,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: because if you let people make you, they'll turn around
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: and break here. But you got to know when you
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: walk in the door who you are. You got to
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: know you bad before they ever start talking. You got
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: to know you straw before they ever start talking. And
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I need not the commendations of men to define what
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: God has already declared. If God declared it, it is so.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: If God declared it, it is what it is. How
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: let Loujah to God. I wasn't one place to preach
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: years ago, and I preach. I didn't do that good
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: because I was nervous because they had all these titles
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: and made me kind of nervous. I didn't do that good.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I came back about several years later, I said. When
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I came the first time, I was nervous because I
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: thought I needed you, I said, but now I'm ready
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: for you because I realized you need me once you
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: start to understand who you are and you understand your player.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about arrogance. I'm quoting Scripcher. In silence
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: and quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. I
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: ain't scared of nothing of you. In quietness and in
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: confidence shall be your strength. You got an opinion, I
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: got one too. You think this, I think that I
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: got just as much right to think that is. You
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: got to think this. Glor Ready to God. I'm a
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: grown man. I'm as grown as I am gonna be.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: I know exactly who I am, and I don't have
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: to tell you who I am. I can show you
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: who I am. And I don't have to prove who
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I am because that is doesn't have to be proven.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: It just is. It just he it can I get
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: a witness in here. Y'all can't handle this kind of preaching,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: But some of y'all need this kind of preaching because
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: you always trying to prove something to people that don't
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: even matter, always trying to impress people that don't even matter,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Always trying to move people who aren't gonna help you
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: one way or the other. They're not gonna be there
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: one way or the other, and ain't gonna need in
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: you saying nothing because they're not gonna do nothing anyway.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Hold your peace and let the Lord fight your battle.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Standing still and see the salvation of the Lord. The
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: enemies that you see today, you shall see them no more.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know who I'm preaching to, but I feel
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: like I'm preaching to somebody. Oh my god, my God,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: my god. High five, somebody say you ain't got to
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: say nothing. It is what it is. You ain't got
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: to say nothing. It is what it is. You ain't
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: got to say a word. The truth is gonna stand
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: when the world's on fire. It is what it is.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Hold your peace and watch God work it out. You
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: ain't got to say nothing. High find somebody else and
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: say you ain't got to say nothing. Don't write no no,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: don't send no email, don't send no text. Just stand still.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: You ain't got to say nothing. Now, Samson was prescribed
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: a battle he didn't cause. In fact, the Bible said
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: the Lord had sent the Philistines to attack Israel. I'm
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: not gonna say a lot about this. Maybe I shouldn't
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: say nothing. But it is not true that just because
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: it is real as God's chosen people, that God didn't
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: ever punish them. He was always for them. But that
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: didn't mean he didn't punish them. That didn't mean that
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: he didn't send armies to chastise them. That doesn't mean
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: that He doesn't send armies to chastise us. Just because
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: you got the favor of God doesn't mean that God
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: won't correct you. Sometimes, where am I real people at?
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Where am I real people at? You know you belong
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: to God, you know you've been washed in his blood.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: You know you're chosen of God. But won't he get
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: you together? Won't he humble you and bring you to
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: your needs? Won't he bring you down to the floor
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: and make your call on his name? Just because you
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: have his favor doesn't mean you don't have correction. In fact,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: that by says, spare the rod and you'll spoil the child.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: And the more you belong to God, the more God
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: will get you together. Other people can do it and
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: it's just fine, But when you do it, you have
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: to pay for it. You can't figure out why. It
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: is because you are God's and the chastening of the
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Lord proves that you are his. He will get you together.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: That's how you know. You say, it's not your tongues,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: it's not your dance, it's not your prose, it's not
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: your outfit, it's not your jerkin and shaken. Is how
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: he corrects you, is how he pulls you in. Is
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: how he gets you together. Is how he brings you
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: to your need. That's how you know you've been chosen God,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: who I better hold it? If I feel something, I
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: feel something, I feel something. I feel something, I feel something,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I feel something, I feel something, I feel something. Now,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Samson was chosen to deliver the Israelites, to start the
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: deliverance of the Israelites from the Philistines. He was chosen
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: for that. The problem is Samson also is attracted to
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: y'all don't want to hear the truth. Let me give
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: you the Sunday school class. I can give you the
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Sunday school class. You're gonna have it. The problem is
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Samson is attracted to the people he's supposed to defeat.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: This conflict. It's the issues of life. Because on one hand,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: he's supposed to destroy him, but he thinks they're kind
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: of cute. There was a woman from Timna and he
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: saw her, and he came home and told his parents.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: He said, I met this girl from Timda and I
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: want to marry her and I want to make her
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: my wife. And they said, of all the daughters of Israel,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: couldn't you find one of your own people? He said, no, Now,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: look at the conflicts. The conflict I am created to
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: destroy what I'm also attracted to. See, it's easy to
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: kill what you don't like, but when God calls you
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: to kill what you are attracted to, it creates a dilemma.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna bother you because I know you can't
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: act real. I know you gotta fake and be phony,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: and I like, you don't understand when you get confused
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: and you don't know whether the slam or huggum. You're
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: in a situation. You're in a dilemma. You're in a situation.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: You're in a dilemma. I'm a try to a Fellastinian woman,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: and the Bible doesn't even give her name because her
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: name is not important. Her ethnicity is important because it
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: proves a point that we can have mixed feelings about
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: any situation. I love the job, I hate the job.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Come on, come on, real people, real people talk to me.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Real people talk to me, Real people talk to me.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: You get on my nerves. But I feel sorry for you.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: And I'm in a conflict. I'm in a trade, don't
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know how I feel about it because I'm
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: supposed to be I was prescribed to attack, but I'm
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: trying to attack what I am attracted too. And he
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: was going to marry her save but for the riddle.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: He would have married her. He was gonna make her
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: his in spite of his parents' a descent. He was
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: going to steal marry her. But he gave a riddle,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: And a riddle caused a rift to break out amongst
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: the Philistines because Samson gave them a riddle about the
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: honey and the lion that brought them into a place
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: of confusion, and it broke up the whole thing. Look
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: at the things that almost happened to you. Can I
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: talk to somebody? Can I talk to anybody about the
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: stuff that almost happened to you? The decisions you almost made,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: if it wasn't for the grace of God, you wouldn't
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: even be sitting by who you sitting beside. You wouldn't
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: even be standing where you're standing. You were almost you
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: all most you almost ain't it. You almost collapsed, You
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: almost gave in. That's why I don't understand why you
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: looking down your nose at other people. Because there but
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: for the grace of God, there but for the grace
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: of God. There but for the Great there, but for
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the graces there but Father grace. There but for the
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Great there but Father grace. Golo you and I. Because
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: you were drowned to a girl from tim nine, a Philistine.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: You were born to destroy what you were drown to
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: keep in between that we keep showing his strength. He's
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: throwing gates on Philistines. Y'all didn't get it. He lights
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: a Philistinian girl, and yet he's throwing gates on Philistines.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: He crazy, He took a jumpbone of an ass and
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: destroy a thousands of Philistines.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: But he was drawn to the Philistine. Y'all don't hear me.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: He was crazy. He was strong, but he was weak. Oh,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: y'all not saying much to me now. When I was
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: asking who was strong, y'all was jumping up y'all was hollering.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Y'alls made all kind of noise. You was doing jumping jacks.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: You did a flip and a cartwheel and landed in
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: the middle of the floor. But every person, every superman,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: got kryptonite. Every Superman got kryptonite. And if they found
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: out what the cryptnight is, it puts you in a
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: dilemma because you can be strong with a gate and
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: turn around and be weak as water in another situation.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: The pardoxical reality of the psychological existence of humanity creates
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: complications that makes you hard to know because if I
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: catch you throwing gates, all I think you are as strong.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: But if I see you peeking over the fence at Tienda,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: all I think you are is weak. And both assessments
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: are wrong because you're not as strong as they think
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: you are and you're not as weak as they think
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: you are. You are somewhere between strong and weak. And
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: how can you live in your strength and deal with
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: your weakness because they both exist in the same person
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: at the same time. Can I go deeper? Can I
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: go a little bit deeper? Because the truth of the matter,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: the breathing you done got quiet because I hit you
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: right in the gut. I hit you right in the
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: belly because when I was talking about strength, you was
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: proud to stand up. But when I expose that strong
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: people have weaknesses, you set up and sat down because
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: you don't want to acknowledge to anybody, because half of
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: your strength is used trying to prove to them that
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: you ain't nothing but strong. But in reality, you're looking
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: for somebody, not who can deal with your strengths, who
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: can deal with your weakness, because everybody's drawn to your strength,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: but not everybody's drawn to your struggle. And you don't
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: want anybody to know that there's a soft spot in you.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: There's a spotting you that cries at night. There's a
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: spotting you that wants to give up. There's a spotting
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: you that wants to collapse. There's a spotting you that
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: wants to cry. There's a spotting you that the other
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: stuff makes foolish decisions. Trust bad people. May it has
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: bad ideas. Get yourself in trouble, and you show me
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: how strong you are. But a friend of somebody, you
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: can show how weak you are, how unsure you are,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: how tired you are, how scared you are, how worried
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: you are. I didn't go to bed till three o'clock
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: in the morning, and you think I got it all together,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: You think I got all the answers, And there I
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: am at two thirty trying to figure out which way
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: to go, which door do I move in? Which direction
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: should I take you. I'm not as strong as I
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: think I am as you think I am, but we
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: are spending our strengths trying to prove something that ain't true.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: We're spending our strengths trying to show everybody that we
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: can handle everything. And you're exhausted because the camouflage of
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: your strength only serves as a conduit to hide you're frailty.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: And the person who can deal with both sides is
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: the person you talk to the most. Because if I
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: gotta always be strong, I'm gonna get tired of talking
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: to you. And if I gotta always be weak, I'm
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: gonna be tired of talking to you. But if I
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: can give you three strong sentences and two week sentences,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: we can make a paragraph. Come on, come on, somebody,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: we can make a paragraph, because I ain't lying about
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: neither one of them. Sometimes I know exactly what to do,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: and I wish you would if you come over here.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I wish, I wish you would. But on the other hand,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. I don't know where
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: to go. And it's much easier to find somebody who
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: can deal with the strength in you than it is
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: to find somebody who can deal with the weakness in you,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: because as soon as they find the weakness in you,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: they drop you like you trash. The Philistine sent their
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: army against Samson, and he ate their lunch. He'd tied
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: the tails of the foxes together and set them on
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: fire and burned their fields. He lifted up gates and
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: threw it on them. See if you throw the right
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: thing on me, I'll tear you up. I'll tear you up.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I'll tear you up. And then they got together and
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: they had a meeting and said, none of that strong
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: stuff is working. And they hired Delilah. He laughing at me,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: he may be laugh They here, Delilah come switching in.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: Everybody else come in. They got an all kind of armor,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: they got swords, they got shields. Delilah come in. And
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the strong man has to admit
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: that his strength has side effects. Did you know that
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: your strength has. In fact, you cannot find intimacy until
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: you can show your side effects. As long as you
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: can only handle my camouflage, then I have to be
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: a hero twenty four hours a day. You know what's
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: wrong with most of our women. They've had to be
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: heroes twenty four hours a day. They are so tired
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: of being heroes that they have lost their ability to
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: be vulnerable. They don't even respect vulnerability. You're only respected
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: the more you don't need nobody, the more you can
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: do it for yourself. The more you can buy your
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: own car, your own house, your own stuff. The more
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: you can do it, the more you are respected when
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: you don't understand that sometimes your strongest strength is in
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: your vulnerability. Can I go deeper? If Christ would have
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: came as the lion from the tribe of Judah, he
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have redeemed anybody. But because he knew that his
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: greatest strength was in his greatest weakness, he became the
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: lamb of God. And when he became the lamb of God,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: he delivered more people as a lamb than he could
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: as a lion. And what's wrong with our men is
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: that all we want to do is roar, and we
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: don't know that sometimes a soft answer turneth the way
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: we have and we don't know how to understand how
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: to be vulnerable sometimes and say, I'm tired. Who they
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: quiet on me? Jesus, you didn't tell me that one
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: of the side effects of preaching this message was gonna
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: make people get quiet. But I don't care. I don't
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: care because you're not balanced until you can operate in
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: both graces, until you can operate in both graces, when
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: you can still be strong, and that's true. And on
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: the other hand, you can be vulnerable, and that's still true,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: and you don't think any less of yourself because you
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: understand that sometimes it takes more power or to be
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: vulnerable than it does to be powerful. And you never
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: learned that because nobody modeled it in front of me.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: They either were extremely powerful and showed no mercy or
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: extremely merciful and showed no power. And now you got
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: a lopside and fight. You're not using the fullness of
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: what you got. So they hired Delilah because they knew
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: that he couldn't handle the side effect. Can I preach
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: this text? Hey, I feel like preaching this text. I
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm talking to somebody. I'm talking to somebody.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: The strong display of power was in the prescription, his
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: ability to be vulnerable, the character weakness, his side effects.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: The great deception is that the big stuff, it was
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: the little things, the things. Isn't it funny how you
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: can get in an argument, they can cuts you out
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: and you can handle it. But if they said you
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: wasn't a good mama, you would rather call them call
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: you a tramp. And you've come right back at your
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: mammy was a tramp, your grandmama was a touch. But
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: when they said you wasn't a good mama, it hit
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: a soft spot. Come on, come on, it hit a
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: soft spot. And all of a sudden, A tears over
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: in the corner. What do you mean, I'm not a
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: good mother? I was always a good mother. I'll do
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: that a side effects. And they hired Delilah to be
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: a side effect, and it brought him to his knees.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Now here's the killer party. I assumed that the Coming
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: of Delilah's about sex, but I cannot find in the
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: scriptures where Samson and Delilah had sex. Maybe they did,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: but they didn't tell us. Every time I see Sampson
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: with Delilah. He is laying his head. Come on, I
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: know this word. I know this word. He is laying
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: his head in her life. So he compromised all that
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: he was as a judge for now. Y'all, don't hear
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Don't y'all, don't hear what I'm saying.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: See see see he found someplace she could have took
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: all that switching back home. He found a place where
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: he could lay his head. And I don't know who
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to, but I'm after somebody that your real
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: problem is not your carnality, it's your weariness. You don't
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: have a safe place to lay your head. You don't
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: have a place that won't criticize you and tell you
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: just need to man up. You don't have a place
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: where you can be a girl again. You're scared to
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: death to be a girl again because you don't trust
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: anybody else to take care of you but you, because
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: you've always had to take care of you. And it's
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: the only role that you've learned the script to. And
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: if you've learned the script for one role, you can
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: only play one part. You have never had the luxury
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: of being scared, the luxury of being tired, the luxury
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: of being vulnerable. And you do good with God because
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: you can't see him. But to make yourself vulnerable to
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: somebody you can see you, you ain't hearing it because
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: you never were scripted to be human. And you know
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: what the problem is. You're tired, and you don't understand.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Being tired is a side effect of being strong. When
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: you've been strong too long, when you've been tough all
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: your life, when every morning you had to fight, you
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: don't know how to just relax and see, I'm tired.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: He knew, watch this, I'm almost done. He knew she
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: was trying to kill him. Still, he laid his head
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: in her life. She asked him where his strength was.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: He lied to her over and over again. Now, once
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: I find out you're trying to kill me, all attraction goes. Okay,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: all attraction goes As long as I don't think you
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: trying to kill me, I'm good. But when I find
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: out that you really trying to hurt me for real,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: you ain't nearly as cute as you was a minute ago,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: You're not nerd. All of that goes away. All of
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: that drives up because you're trying to kill me. But
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: he was so desperate, y'all. Don't hear you out with
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: God and make him hear it, because I can't do
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: it without you. Make them hear. You don't hear how
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: desperate he was for a place to lay his head.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: And my assignment this morning, but God called me to
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: preach to you this morning is that there would be
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: many people in this room and watching on stream right
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: now who do not have a safe place to lay
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: your head. And it's been so long since you've had it.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: You convince yourself you don't need it, and even if
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: you got it, you don't know how to treat it.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: And now you push away what you could rest in
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: because you don't know how to be tired. You don't
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: know how to be tired. You know how to fight,
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: you know how to kill, you know how to destroy it,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: you know how to attack, you don't know how to
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: be tired. And for a moment of laying his head,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: he risked his life to lay his head. He lost
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: his eyes to lay his head. He went blind and
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: lost his vision to lay his head. And I'm wondering
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: how many people in here are praying for vision. But
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: you can't get vision because you are so desperate to
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: find a place to lay your head that you've lost
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: your vision. And I'm wondering how many people in here
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: are treading at the meal with the oxes. When you
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: are a judge over Israel, you are the end of
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: an era. You are the last judge before we see kings,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: and you cannot be the judge that brings us into
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: kings because you've lost your vision and it wants. When
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Hollywood does it, they try to make it lurid and
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: sexual and vivacious and all of these kinds of things.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: They try to make it salacious. They try to appeal
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: to our human nust when they don't realize that this
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: is about not lust. This is about a lingering tiredness
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: that will not go away. And the Lord told me
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: if I would preach this that he would crack through
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: your camouflage. And he said, if you would open up
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: and admit that you're tired, Delilah would not be your
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: side effect. Delilah would not be your side of fact.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Delilah is more than a woman. Don't think don't think
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: about her as a woman. She's a woman, but she's
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: more than a woman. She's a spirit. She's a spirit.
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: She's she's anything you have to lay in to lay in.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: She's anything you got to rest in. She's anything that
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: you're willing to give up everything just for a moment
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: of rest, and you know it's killing you. She's a
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: drug air shah caho, she care my shit, airbo shot.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: She's an addiction. She's a high. She's anything you go
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: to to lay your head. She's the kryptonite you go
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: to where life is killing you. And that's why church
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: is not working for you, because when you get ready
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: for church, the last thing you put on before you
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: leave is your camouflage. And you know why we can't
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: have real worship because real worship will strip you. Real
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: worship will bring you down to your knees. Real worship
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: will make you lay prostrate on the floor. Real worship
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: will bring tears gushing out of your eyes. Real worship
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: will make you cry out before God. Real worship will
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: make you open your mouth and scream. Real worship will
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: make you expose the thing that you hide from everybody else.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: Real worship will make you say, I don't know which
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: way to go, I don't know what to do, I
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: don't know how to fix it. Real worship will make
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: elders collapse on the floor like centers that won't be
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: in anybody to pray for anybody, because the elders will
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: collapse just like a sinner. Real worship will bring you
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: down to your knees until the singers sit down beside
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: the prostitutes, and the prostitutes start sitting down beside the deacons,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: and they're all laying out on the floor because real
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: worship will get down in you. But you you can't
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: take off. You watch it. You look, I'm looking. I'm
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: looking at you right now. You can't come out of
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: your Superman suit. I'm challenging you this morning to find
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: your phone booth so you can stop being Superman. I
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: came to preach to Clark Kent. I didn't come to
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: preach to Superman. I came to priest is somebody who's tired.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: I came to preaching somebody who's dry. I came to
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: preach it, somebody who's empty. I came to preacher somebody
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: who's frustrated. I came to preach this, somebody who's tired
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: of acting like you got it all together when you
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: ain't got nothing. Together. You can handle scriptures, but you
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: can't handle money. You can handle money, but you can't
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: handle your own kids. You can handle your kids, but
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: you can't handle your job. I came to preach in
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: a phone booth. I didn't come to preach at the
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: potter's house. I came to preach in a phone booth.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: I want you to find a safe place where you
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: can change out of your boots and leave your cape off,
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: and come before God just as I am. I came
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: to preach to your neckd and not a shame. I
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: came to preach until tear the flushing down your face.

  Speaker 1: the glory of God. Fill up a room. I came
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: to preach till something gets down in your spirit and
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: makes you fall on your knees. I came to preach
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: till you don't care who's looking at you, and you
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: don't care what they think about you, and you don't
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: care what they call you. I came to preach till
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: you don't care about your title. I came to preach

  Speaker 1: preach till you don't care what your husband thinks. I
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: came to preach till you don't care what your wife thinks.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: I came to preach till something in your belly opens
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: up and cries out before God. I came to preach
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: until you say. I won't let you go till you
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: bless my soul. I won't let you go till you
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: fix me. I won't let you go till you heal me.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: I won't let you go until you touch me. I
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: came to preach to something that opens up in your belly.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: I came to preach until you feel the power of
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: God fall. I came to preach until the anointed falls
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: and your siverir. I came to preach until the Holy
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Ghost touches you from the crown of your head, of
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: it to the soul of your feet. I came to preach.
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: I came to preach until glory hits you. I came
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: to preach to the anointing of God begins the fault.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: I came to preach until you come out all of
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: this hard stuff, this tough stuff, this tony stuff, this
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: really this vicious stuff, this angry stuff. I came to
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: preach until anger goes away. I came to preach until
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: you lose your anger and you lay on your face
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: and say, God, I need you like I never needed
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: you before. I came to preach, Holledlujah, until your side
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: effects get out of your way. I came to preach
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: so you can find at least one place, one day
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: after week, one hour where you can labor for God
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: and say, before I go to work Monday, I gotta
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: have this moment where I can lay my head. I
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: came to preach and left my house so I can
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: lay my head. I left my card so I can
• 1:00:50

• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: in your house. If your flesh snives, every yoke will

• 1:14:06
  Speaker 6: Esus, geez shee shee Sheeus, Gord.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: Jesus, My God, my God, my God. What I want
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: you to understand is that you've been predestined, predetermined, prescripted
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: to drive out the Philistines that are in your life.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: But you can't drive it out till you get honest.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: You can't help what you're trying to kill. You either
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: gotta be high or you gotta be cold. You gotta
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: make up in your mind do you love your image
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: or do you want to be changed? Lift your hands
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: up right where you are, Lift them up. This is
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: a moment of surrender. You're watching on television. This is
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: a moment of surrender. It's a moment of complete surrender.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: Some moment of complete surrender. You didn't realize you had
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: side effects. But the very thing is good to be strong.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: It's wonderful to be strong, but you you didn o
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: deeed your deed, and you lost part of yourself. Because
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: Christ is just as much lamb as he is lying.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: And he wasn't afraid of his lamb, and he wasn't
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: afraid of his lion. And you gotta be good with
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: opening up your heart. When the Bible says, none but
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: the pure in heart shall see God. The word pure
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: there is where we get the word catheter. It means
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: that God wants to clean out your heart so you
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: can see God. None but the pure in heart shall
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: see God. You hear me on television, You hear me
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: on your phone? Do you hear me on your iPad?
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: Do you hear me on your computer? Do you hear me?
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: Number the pure in heart? And Hell is doing everything
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: it can to take away your purity because you used
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: to be pure. You used to know how to be sorry,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: You used to know how to say yes, You used
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: to know how to open up, and you could see God.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: But your vision is coming back. I prophesy to you
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: right now that your vision.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: Is coming back. It's coming back. It's coming back. You
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: hear me, It's coming back. It's coming back. It's coming back.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: The thing is real, it's coming back. It's coming back.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: These things that keep coming up and you distress, this anxiety,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: this insomnia, these bounts of anger, these mood swings, these
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: depressions are nothing beside effects. All you gotta be is
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: who you really are. That's all you gotta do, is
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 3: what you really do. That's all you gotta do is
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: open up your heart to God and say, I'm gonna
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: rest in you. I'm gonna rest in you. If you
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: don't do it, it can't be done. I'm gonna rest
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: in you. I'm gonna rest in you. Do you feel
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: that peace coming in this room right now? There's a peace. See,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: there's a peace coming in this room right now. Oh
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: my God, I wish you was in here. I don't
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 3: know whether you can feel it where you are. There's
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: a peace coming in here. There's a peace coming in here.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 3: There's a peace coming. There's a peace coming for you.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 3: It's coming right now. It's coming for you.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: If your hands, my Father and my God. It is
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: in the invincible, all powerful, eternal, everlasting, immutable, unchanging name
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ. We pray we all like sheep have
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: gone astray, We've gotten turned out of the way, we've
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: forgotten what might us most. We've turned into what we
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: thought we had to be because of the onslaught of
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: what we've been through. But today we shake it off.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: Today we shake off the side effects of being who
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: we were called to be. And today, right now, we
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: receive your peace, We receive your power, we receive your love.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be a Sunday we don't ever forget,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: because this is gonna be the sunday that I dropped
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: my camouflage and I came to Jesus just like I was.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: I was weary. I was worn, and to be honest
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: with you, Lord, I was sad. I was sad, and
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't know how to get out of it. But
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: I found in you arresting place. It's not in my delillah,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: it's not in my coping mechanisms, it's not in the
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: pseudo things that I take on to help me get
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: through the moment. I found in you resting place. I
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: found in you, a resting place that's somebody in the balcony.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: God is touching you right in the balcony right now
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: in a special way. You didn't even come down in
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: the prayer. But God is touching you right where you are.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: I found in you a resting place. This stuff i've
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: been caring is too heavy, it's too hard, it's too much.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 7: I cast my cares on you because you care for me.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 7: I'm a rest Lord. Thank you from arrest, thank you

• 1:22:53
  Speaker 8: In the Lord.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: If you're around this altar or out in the pew
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: and you don't know Jesus, Jesus said, come unto me.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: All ye that a week and heavy laden, And he said,

• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: own lawyer. I'm going to rest in you. I will rest,
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: I will rest. I pray salvation would follow every raised head,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: that the blood of Jesus would wash away all sins.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: We confess our sins, we forsake them, and we open
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: up our heart till you leave your hand. We open
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: up our heart to you. Come in Jesus. If you
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: don't do it, it can't be done. Come in Jesus,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: Come in Jesus. That spirit that encamps about me, that
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: angry spirit, that bitter spirit, that distrusting spirit, that chilted spirit.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not going home with that today. I will rest.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: I will rest.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours. Before I close this service,
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you do you have a church
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: home where you can come and get the word. I'm
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: not asking you where you ever baptized somewhere when you
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: were twelve. I'm asking you, do you have a place
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: where your soul can rest in the Lord, where you
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: can come in heavy and leave out light. The doors
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: of this church are open if you make your way
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: to my left. Your right you will find a lap
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: you can rest in. Go right, now, make your way
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: through the crowd, and come to my left. The doors
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: of this church are open. I will, I will, I
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: will rest. I'm coming home with the Lord. Come home,
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: I will rest. I want everybody to clap your hands
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: and say, come, I will rest. How many people are
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: glad you came to church this morning? Lift your hands up,
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: because I want you to go home with this annoying one.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: I want you to go home with this annoying on you.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: You that are walking, can you wait one second for me?
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: Need to pray over you before you go this one second?
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you, my Lord God. It's
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: so much easier to live for you and here than
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: it is out there. The phone and ringing, the people
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: aren't talking, the bills aren't coming. Life and life. But
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: I pray that as we walk out of this place,
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: that we will take this with us in the car
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: to the house, to the restaurant, to the grocery store.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: We will take this rest. We're gonna leave Delilah at
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: the altar.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 8: We're gonna leave her at the altar in whatever form
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 8: she comes in, and let the rest of God and
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 8: the peace which passes the whole understanding. Rest rule and
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 8: abide now hence forth and forevermore.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: Until we meet again in Jesus' name. Amen, I love
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: your partner's house. I love you, I love you.
