  Speaker 1: I wish I had time to talk about time. What
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: do you do when the clock is against you and
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: you have enough wisdom to do it over, but you
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: don't have enough time to do it over. What do
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: you do when you've missed your season and you've missed
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: your window of opportunity? What do you do when you
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: know that you've got the desire to do and you've
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: got the passion to do it, but you're look in
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the mirror and the wrinkles in your face and the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: sagging of your body indicates you don't have time to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: do this all over again. She says, I don't have
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: time to get pregnant again. I don't have a sucking
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: chance in life. My life is over. Go way, don't
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: hang around me. I have nothing left to give. There
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: are people that when you start running out of time,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you get bitter, you get desperate, You start pushing people
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: away from you because they're asking something of you that
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you don't think you can give anymore. And you find
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: yourself in a place of depletion, and it feels like
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: God has forgotten you. But I remind you, nothing just happens.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Readings rather than Sisters in the name of Jesus Christ,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: our King. I am so blessed and so excited to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: have the opportunity to share the Word with you. I'm
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: excited about the word. I still get excited about the word.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Been preaching thirty seventy years. I still love his word.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I love what it does in your life and in
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: your heart. I love how it strengthened you. I love
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: how it helps you. I've got a message that I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: believe you are going to love.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Take a look.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: When we look at the theology in the Book of Ruth,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: we know that the Book of Ruth is a template
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: for a far larger issue, loaded with shadows and types.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: It brings to us significant issues as it challenges us
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to understand that all of the characters in the Book
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: of Ruth are the backdrop for historical data that points
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to a panoramic view of the life of Jesus Christ
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and the fulfillment of Jesus Christ. And suddenly we begin
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to recognize that when we look at a character like Ilimelech,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: we are looking at a relationship between him and his wife,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and how when Elimelech died, Naomi became very very bitter.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And in the same sense, Israel became very bitter if
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a lost relationship with Jehovah, and it was widowed as
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: it were, and it's strange attached away woman who had
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: become very bitter because she was denied relationship with Jehovah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And we see the two sons and seeing.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: The splitting of the nation of Israel down to the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: tribe of Judah, and we begin to see how they
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: break and divide and then die, and through their death
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and the famine, there we see Ruth, who is a
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Moabite woman who is connected to them by marriage, and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: now her husband has died and she is estranged, and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: she goes back to Moab, goes back to Bethlehem Naomi,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Ruth being a type of the Church, Naomi being a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: type of Israel. The Church gets connected to God through Israel,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: who walks her back home to Boas, who is a
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: type of Christ. And Boas, who stands her and sees
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Ruth over in the corner gleaning in the corners of
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the field, spies her and brings her from the background
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to the forefront, covers her with his skirts, makes her
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: his wife, legitimizes her, authenticates her, causes her to be
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: an air of a grace, of which she would have
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: been estrange had her blood prevailed. But because his blood
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: prevailed over her blood, he was able. It's just a wonderful, wonderful,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: wonderful story. A famine has arose in this text in
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: a family who is headed by Alimelech, and they leave Bethlehem,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the House of Bread because of the severity of the famine,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and they go to Moab. Everybody's running for their lives,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: running for their lives. They go into mo for survival's sake,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: thinking that they were going to be there a short time,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: ended up being there ten years. Ilimelech is strong enough
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to get Naomi out of there with their two sons
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and get them out of Bethlehem to Moab, but he
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: dies in Moab. He dies in Moab, and now Naomi
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: is widowed, surviving a famine, raising two sons in a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: foreign country, unable to get back home because of the famine,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: trying to survive against adversity. And then she loses her
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: two sons, two sons. Now the woman has had a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: dead husband and now lost two sons. The husband you
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: might con tolerate, You might con say, well, it was
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: he was up in years. He was up in the age.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: It makes us, but to lose two sons in the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: space of ten years, she has lost every man she
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: has ever loved. Exasperated and frustrated, she makes up in
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: her mind, this is enough for me. We're coming to
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the end of the famine. I want to go back home.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: There is nothing left for me. She makes a statement.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: She says, I went out full and I came back empty.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: In other words, there was a famine, but I was
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: still blessed. It's amazing because sometimes you cannot know you're
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: blessed because you're going through a famine, only to find
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: out that the thing that you were worried about is
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: not nearly as significant.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: It's a thing that you had.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: In the midst of her famine, she still had her
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: husband and her children. Sometimes you can have something and
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: not appreciate it until you lose it. After that, she
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: lost her husband and her children, the famine seemed insignificant
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: by comparison. I say that because sometimes you're whining about
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: things that really don't matter. You're upset about things that
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: really don't make any difference in your life, And if
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you were smart, you would learn how to count your blessings.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And to thank God for what He's done in your life.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: It looked like all hell had broken loose in her
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: life the famine. Who would have thought that a famine
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: would come and disrupt this relatively wealthy family and cause
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: them to flee like vagrants and move into Moab and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: uproot all of their heritage and leave their home and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: their surrounding and their friends and find themselves in Moab.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Who would have thought that, having gone to Moab, that
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: she would lose the husband she was relying on to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: be her sustenance, her source, her friend, and her support.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: He died and left her there.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Who would have thought that, having lost her husband, she
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: goes to rely on her sons and both not one,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: but both sons die. Who would have thought that this
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: woman would end up in a female feminine trinity of
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: three women whose only thing that they now share in
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: common is that all of them.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Have gone through death.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Three women and Naomi who is the older woman, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Ruth who would have who was her daughter in law,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and Orpah who was her other daughter in law, Three
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: women whose common commonality was pain. Pain is a strange
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: company keeper. It brings the oddist people together. They're the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: secret fraternity that exists amongst those who have been in pain.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: That is mind boggling.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: It transcends the color of your skin, it transcends your background.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: When you've been through certain things, you feel for other
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: people who have been through those things because you relate
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to them. And so the women shared a tear together.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: They wept together, they cried together, They shared pain together,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: they shared burial together, they shared their losses together, they
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: shared their emptiness together. Naomi decided, this is it. Gotta split.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna quit. I'm going back home where I came from.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Gotta go. Can't take any more. I'm going back home.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I'm bitter, but I'm going back home.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Bitter.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I'm frustrated, but I'm going back home. And they fell
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: on Naomi and beginning to weep because Naomi had left
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: a significant impression on them, and all of a sudden,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: in the midst of this pain, Naomi starts reasoning with him,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: stop crying. I'm crying. I have no options. What am
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I going to do?
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: She said?
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: If I'm married today and had more children, what are
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you going to do? Wait for the children to become
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: grown that they might be your husband against He says
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I'm out of the game. The clock is against me. Oh,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I wish I had time at this age, at this stage,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: They're the reason why it happened at this age.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: They're the reason why it happened at this level. In life.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: It's not a mistake, it's not an accident. God didn't
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: fall asleep on the job and the devil came in
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and wrecked the car. No, God never sleeps and he
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: never slumbers.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: He said, complete control.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: And he knows where you are, and he knows how
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: old you are, and he knows how much time you spent,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and he knows what happened to you. And he knows
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: who walked out and left you, and he knows who
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: betrayed you, and he knows who molested you, and he
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: knows who raped you, and he knows who rejected you.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: And he knows where you are in life. And he
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: knows about your bills, and he knows about your degree,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and he knows you're dropped out of school, and he
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: knows about what you didn't get, and he knows about
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the health of your child, and he knows about the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: condition of your neighborhood. Understand that, and tell yourself nothing.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Just happens, and so Orpah walks away. She walks away.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I go, I have to turn this into a series
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: because I can't. I can't get out of this. Orpah
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: walks away, and she cries and she goes back, but
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: she and there are people who can walk away from you.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: And hear me when I tell you this. When people
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: can walk away from you, length and walk, When people
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: can walk away from you, let them walk. I can
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: sit down now I preach. I can sit down. I
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: don't need to make an all to call or nothing
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I can say. I don't have to hoop. I don't
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: have to make you shout. I have just preached right now.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: When people can walk away from you, let them walk.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to try to talk. Another person
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: in the stand with you, loving you, calling you, caring
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: about you, coming to see you, staying at tattoo. I mean,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: hang up the phone. When people can walk away from you,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: let them walk.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Your destiny is.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Never tied to anybody that left. The Bible said that
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: they came out from us, that it might be made manifested.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: They were not of us.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: For have they been of us, no doubt they would
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: have continued with us. People leave you, because they're not
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: joined to you. And if they're not joined to your
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: you get super glue and you can't make them stay.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Let them go.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Ruth, on the other hand, coming to the crossroads, she
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: looks at Orpah, who left Ruth, turns to Nailm and says,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: as the Lord liveth, I shall not leave the Occasionally
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: in scriptures and the whole body, you see it. You
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: see it happening where people who are not even blood
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: related spend their lives together in the most intimate connection possible,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and theologians and scholars and preachers stumble about it because
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: they don't know how to talk about it, because they
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: don't understand the power being joined together.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: How can we.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Explain what made Elijah leave his natural mother and father
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: and run after it Elijah to wait on him, to
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: clean his clothes, to pour water on his hand, to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: set up his tent, But some kind of way, Elisha
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: sensed that his destiny.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Was tied to Elijah.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: How can we explain Timothy, who walks away from everything
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: that he owns to hang out at the outside window
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: of a jail cell as an old man prepares to
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: be beheaded. He peeks in the window handing him books
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and blankers, ministering to him. The young man understood, I'll
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: never be who I was meant to be without you
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: in my life. Do you hear what I'm saying? There's
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: something There's something about the way you talk. It feeds me.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Is something about the way you speak that changes me,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: something about your spirit that motivates me. And I'll never
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: be completed without you. And I didn't meet you by accident.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't stumble up and meets you. Both shot another
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: ouble shot. This didn't just happen that they're the reason
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: that I'm in this place. I'm so sick of talking
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to people who think that everything just happened. I guess
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I'll go to church. I guess I'll get said. I
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: guess I'll move to Chicago. I guess I'll moved to Dollar.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: That's not how it is.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Your steps were ordered. If you haven't got the phone
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: call that you got when you got like you got it,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't even be here right now.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: If you hadn't made the turn that you.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Made yesterday, you wouldn't experience what you're experiencing today. God
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: has been behind the curtain like a puppet master pulling
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: strings in your life. It's not that you're smart, it's
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: not that you're great, it's not that you're holy, it's
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: not that you're perfect, it's not that you're good. But
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: God winded you up, pointed you in the right duration,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: release you into your destiny, and you are here and
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you can't get away. Slap somebody and tell them nothing
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: just happens.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Still to come on the potter's touch.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Think about the most impoverished, financially depleting thing that ever
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: happened in your life and shouting nothing. Think about the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: worst scandal that you ever went through in your life
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and shout nothing. Think about people who loved you and
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: walked out and left you and shout nothing. Think about
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: betrayal on the highest level of your life and shout nothing.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Think about the struggle going on on your job right now,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and shout nothing.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Delive a satisfying, productive life. You must be filled to capacity.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: God said, there's no question my seed is potent. My
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: word works. The question is do you have the capacity.

• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and out of the pragnicy of his own divinity, he
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: begins to speak things into exists.

• 15:36
  Speaker 3: visit our website or call one eight hundred bishop too.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: This means that I'm up under the banner of his will.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I'm up under the banner of his will. Even in
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: the midst of death, I'm up under the banner of
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: his will. Even in the midst of pain, I'm up
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: under the banner of his will, even in the midst
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: of separation, in the disappointment, I'm gonna upto the banner.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Of his wheel.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Can I take you to the next level? Jonah was
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: sent to Ninevah went to Tarsish headed for Tarsish. Not
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: obeying God, got thrown off the boat into the belly
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: of the fish, swallowed for three days. Even though God
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: told him to go to Ninevah, and he didn't go.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: He was still in the wheel. I'm not sure you
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: can handle this. He went the wrong way and he
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: was still in the wheel. They threw him off the boat.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: He was still in the wheel. I'll prove to you
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: he was in the wheel. It just happened to be
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: a big fish. See, it just happened to be a
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: big fish swimming beside the big boat, so that when
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: men dumped him over, the fish just happened.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: This is too strong. You can't take this. The fish
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: carried him.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Down to the bottom of the mountains with seaweed wrapped
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: around his neck. He's thousands of feet below sea level.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: And God sustained him, sustained him, not one day, not
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: two days, not four days, but three three days. Nothing
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: just happens on the third day. On the third day,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: the back slitt me rebellion, reprobates, disconnected, disjointed preacher.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Comes up out of the water, and thousands of.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Years later, Christ says, even as Jonah was in the
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: belly of the fish three days, So shall the son
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: of Man be in the grave. He had to get
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: up when he got up, and he had to go
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: down when he went down. Because nothing just happens. Wha,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: oh God, tuble shut that got dumble. Your mistakes were
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: in his will. Your trouble was in his will, Your
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: pain was in his will. I don't care what she
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: went through, David said, if I make my bed in hell,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: thou art there. If I take the wings of the
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: morning and as sin to the outhermost parts of the earth,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: God is still there. He was with you in the
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: middle of your trouble. He was with you in the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: middle of your pain. That's why Paul said, I've learned
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: whatever state I'm in, God with to be content. I
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: know how to be rich, I know how to be poor,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I know how to be free, I know how to
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: be bad. You are to shout. I don't care where
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: you are, because nothing just happens. Just seven people tell
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: him he's got a play, and he's got a play.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Whatever God has predetermined to happen, whatever God has predetermined
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: to happen, will come to pass. And no devil in
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: hell has ever been able to abort the purpose of God,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: not wants. And yes, God gave you a human will,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: and you're a free moral agent. But if you think
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: that your human will is strong enough to change his
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: divine will, you are tripping.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: You are out of your mind. God is God.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: The reason we worship him as God is because.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: He is the CEO. He is in charge, He runs
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: the universe.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: And when God gets ready to make you, and when
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: God gets ready to break you, and when God gets
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: ready to take you, He's never been without the power
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to make you yield.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: To his will.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: He's never, not one moment on time, not been able
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: to orchestrate your affairs and nothing in your life. Think
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: about the most damnable thing that ever happened, and shouting nothing.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Think about the most embarrassing thing that ever happened in
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: your life and shouting nothing. Think about the most impoverished,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: financially depleting thing that ever happened.

  Speaker 1: loved you and walked out and left you, and shouting nothing.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Think about betrayal on the highest level of your life
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and shout nothing. Think about the struggle going on on
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: your job right now and shouting nothing. Think about the
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: attitude of your kinfolks and your family members and shouting nothing.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Think about how your boss is treating you on your
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: job and shouting nothing. Think about that disagreement between you
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: and your children and shout nothing. Think about your past
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: life of seeing your heart mongery, your inappropriateness, your attitude,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: your dysfunction, and shout nothing. Shout nothing. The devil hear
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: you say nothing. The devil will think he won. If
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: you don't shout nothing, the devil will think he's in charge.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: If you don't shout nothing, you'll think he's gonna win.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: But you gotta shout nothing. In the midst of hell
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and high water. Shout nothing. In the midst of pain
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and despairs, Shout nothing. When your credit is denied, shout nothing.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: When you're evicted out of your house, shout nothing. When
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: your boyfriend married somebody else, shouting nothing.

• 23:19
  Speaker 1: So shall the son of Man be in the grave.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: He had to get up when he got up, and
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: he had to go down when he went down. Because
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: nothing just happens. God has a way of just choosing
