• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Go to the Gospel of Saint Matthew, chapter number thirteen,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: verse twenty four through thirty, and there you will find
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: my assignment for this morning. I will be reading it
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: out of the NIV. When you have it, say amen.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: If you're still looking, say wait a minute, Wait a minute,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute. Matthew. The Gospel of Saint Matthew, the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: first book in the New Testament. Jesus told them another parable.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: What was it? It was a.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a parable. The Kingdom of Heaven is.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: It's like a man who sewed good seed. What did
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: he do? He sewed good seed in his field. Now,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: first miracle. You got to recognize. The choir didn't know
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: what I was going to preach when they prepared for worship.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: They didn't know what I was going to preach. But
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: for weeks I have been seeing roots. Something is about
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to come out of the ground. Jesus told them another parable.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: went away. When did he do it? While they were sleeping?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: When the wheat sprouted and formed heads. When the when
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: when the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: also appeared. The owner's servants came to him and said, Sir,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: didn't you so good seed in your field? Where then,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: did the weeds come from? An enemy? Did this? He replied?
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: The servants asked him, do you want us? Do you
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: want us watch this closely? Do you want us to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: go and pull them up? No, he answered, because while
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: with them.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Let both grow together.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Cool, Oh, my God, Let grow together until the harvest.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: At that time I will tell the harvesters, first collect
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Can you say, a man, shout this with me? Timing
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: is everything. Shout it again. Timing is everything. Shout it again.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Timing is everything. Spirit of the Living God, fall fresh
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: on the Word of God. As we go into it today,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: let it bring life and healing and renewal and restoration.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: As we delve into the depths of God's Word, bring
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: out treasures and ministry and healing and revelation. I thank
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you for what you are about to do. In Jesus' name,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: we pray. Somebody shout Amen, you may be seated in
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the presence of God. Yeah, let's go to work. Over
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the sixty five years of my life, I don't think
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I knew it when I started. I started preaching at nineteen.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I started pastoring at twenty one. I don't think I
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: knew it then, but I know it now. The best
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: things in life takes time. When I was younger, I
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: was impatient because I had the naivety of thinking that
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: dreams would come quickly. But the best things in life
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: take time, from simple things like food preparation to more
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: complicated issues of parenting and marriage. The best things in
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: life take time. People who don't have time to cook
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: don't cook well because the best things in life take time.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: You can get married. You can have a wedding in
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: thirty minutes, but it takes years to have a marriage.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: The best things in life take what. It is a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: sharp contrast between being rich and being wealthy. You can
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: hit the lottery receiving inheritance, you can be catapulted from
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: rags to riches, and you can be rich quick. Though
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: many define wealth differently than how I will today. True
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: wealth isn't just about money, but it is about the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: lessons you learn while struggling upward. If you have money
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: without wisdom, you will soon be parted from your money.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: The best things in life take time, takes relationships. You've
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: got the money, but because it was given to you quickly,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you didn't build the infrastructure to sustain it. You don't
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: have the relationships to sustain it. You don't have the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: information to sustain it. And most people who hit the lottery,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: seventy to eighty percent of them go broke within five years.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: You can't imagine that you could hit that much money
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and lose it. But the truth of the matter is
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: God is teaching. I said the best things in life
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: take time. There are things that you learn from struggling.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: There are things that you learn from tests and trials
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and trial and error. Some of my best teachers were failure.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: It takes time to do well. It takes even longer
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to be well. Let's listen to the words of Solomon
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: when he talks out of Ecclesiasties three, verse one through two,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and listen at Solomon the wise man. The wise man,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: he says, to everything there is a season and the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: time to every purpose under heaven. He says, to everything,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: there is a season and a time to every purpose
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: under heaven. You got purpose, But do you understand season
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and time? Now we read over that quickly, but we
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: really don't think about it, because if we thought about it,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: we would understand that some people are seasonal, some relationships
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: are seasonal, some opportunities are seasonal. And yet when we
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: see the seasons change, we think the blessing has ceased.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: But it is not that the blessing has ceased, it
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: is that the season has changed. There's a great deal
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of trees in my yard. There's
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: a great deal of difference between how my yard looks
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: in the spring and how it looks in the fall.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: And by the time it gets to winter, quite frankly,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the trees are ugly and barren and destitute. And if
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: you came in the winter and saw it, you would
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: have no idea of how beautiful it would be.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: If it takes time. There is a time to be born.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: And there is a time to die. If I had time,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I talk about that they are a very similar birth
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and death. A time to plant and a time to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: pluck up that which is planted.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Now listen at what he says.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: There's a time to plant, and there's a time to
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: pluck up that which is planted.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Do you know the difference in your life.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: The difference between knowing when to plant and when to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: pluck Have you ever asked God? Maybe you've asked when
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to plant, but have you ever asked him when to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: pluck up? Or are you intent on keeping that which
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: is planted to the destruction of plucking up that which
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: you have become accustomed to. You can't have a new
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: season until you are willing to say goodbye to the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: season you had. I call it the art of letting go,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: the spirit of release, not wrestling releasing. Some of you
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: are wrestling to hold on to something that God is
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: trying to take away from you, and you need to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: release it and simply let it go.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: That was that season.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: When I was a child, I thought as a child,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I speak as a child, understood as a child. But
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: when I became a man, I had to let go
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: of childish things, childish thinking. I thought as a child,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I spake as a child, understood as a child. If
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you are still talking the way you were talking ten
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: years ago, I've got bad news for you. You have a deformity,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: a spiritual dysfunction that keeps your thoughts in one dimension.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: That means you can't fall in love with your thoughts.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I want all the stubborn people to say man, because
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: if you are stubborn with your thoughts, you delay your
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: next season. I have watched some of the greatest people
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: in every industry you can imagine. I've had the privilege
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: of having relationships with people who were at the top
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: of their game in just at about every industry you
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: can imagine. Those that lead the greatest impact. Understand timy.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Timing is everything. Timing is everything said with me. Timing
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: is every said again. Many people don't realize that part
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: of the art of baking is timing. There are a
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: lot of people that cook but don't bake because part
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: of the art of baking is timing. The difference between
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a dry cake and a moist cake is.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Come on, come on, come on, talk to it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: The difference between a moist cobbler and a dry cobbler
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: is whenever you taste a dry one, you know they
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: left it in the oven. Oh come on, oh, somebody
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: knows what I'm talking about. You've got to understand it's timing.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: In baseball, it's not just skill. It is the timing
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that causes the batter to be effective at swinging the bat.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: You can have the right swing, but if you swing
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: at the wrong time, you won't have the impact that
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you should have had. Some of you are trying to
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: do the right swing, but you're swinging at the wrong time.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: You're in such a harry that you're swinging before the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: ball can strike the target because you are more moved
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: by the crowd than you are by the ball. Timing
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: is everything. Many people don't realize that not only is
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: timing everything in baseball and baking, it is also everything
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: when it comes to comedy or speaking or music. It's
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: about timing. It's not just can you read music? Can
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: you keep time? It's not can you tell a joe?
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: But can you time the joke? Can you speak a message?
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Can you use timing to convey information? You can give
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: great information out of time and be an incompetent speaker
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: because you don't understand timing. Everything is a rhythm. Everything
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: is a rhythm. God is a rhythm, Breathing is a rhythm,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: circulation is a rhythm. Heartbeat is a rhythm. Pulse is
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: a rhythm. Everything that is alive has a rhythm. Birth
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: has a rhythm. A woman's body has a rhythm. God
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: is telling us, over and over and over, in nature,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: in creation, in procreation, that timing is everything. You can't
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: be fruitful out of season. Somebody shall teach me to
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: know my season, help me with my timing. You can
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: be right about what you said, but wrong about when
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you said it, and do more damage than you did good.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: But it's not about right and wrong. It's about timing right.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Information delivered at the wrong time can tear a marriage up,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: can cause a child to feel defeated.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Can stop alone from going through.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Can stop the house from being built, can stop you
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: from having the piece you ought to have. You're worried
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: about being right, You need to be worried about.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Timing.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Timing, timing, time, time, time, time, time, time, Timing is everything.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Timing is absolutely everything. One thing I know for sure.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I came to Dallas at the right Yeah, thirty eight
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: years old. It was the right time. Any sooner would
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: have been a disaster. I wasn't ready for it. Any
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: later would have been too late. It wasn't ready for me,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: it wasn't just the right time in my life. It
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: was the right time time in Dallas. It was the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: right time in history.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: You have to do.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Things at the right time or you're not going to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: have the effect that you would have had because you
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: don't understand timing. Because timing is what timing is, what
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: wake up timing is, what wake up timing is, what
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: timing is absolutely everything. I've given this illustration before, but
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I want to paint it again for you that have
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: not heard it. Harlan Sanders built an amazing business because
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: he did the right thing at the right time. CAFC
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: came at a time in the American history that women
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: had just started to go to work. It came at
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: a time and history that families were still sitting around
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the table. It solved the problem, how can we simulate
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: a family dinner without the woman being home to cook.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Doing the right thing at the right time. It wasn't
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: just about the chicken is good. It was that the
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: need was great. It solved the problem and it came
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: at the right Oh, y'all don't hear what I'm saying.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Let me make this clear. If he opened up now,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: he go bankrupt. You can sustain it at this level,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: but you can't start it at this level because now
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: if you open it up, they want to know, is
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: it gluten free? Do you have vegan chicken? I'm a pescatarian.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: They were not asking those questions at that time. Success
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: is as much about timing as it is about anything else.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Do you know what time it is in your life?
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I've got a watch on my wrists. I've got a phone,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: both of them backing up so that I know what
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: time it is in the day. But do I know
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: what time it is in my life? Is it time
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: to put away childish things? I can only be fruitful
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: in my season. The Bible says you shall bring forth
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: fruit in your season. Your least shall not wither, and
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: whatsoever you do shall prosper. You have to know when
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: it's your season, and you have to know when it's over.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: You have to know when to hold it. You have
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: to know when to fold it. You cannot see folding
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: as failure. It's all about timing. Ah, talk to me,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: It's all about timing. Timing is everything. I have preached
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: this text many, many many times. I have preached it
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: many many ways. There is an eschatological element of this
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: text that I won't touch today. That speaks to the
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: end time. We could talk about it that way. But
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the reason I'm in this text today and the reason
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I want to luxuriate in this text after many days,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I had been seeing entangled roots underground. For me, this
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: message did not start with the text. It started with
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: a vision of entangled roots underground. Regardless of the plant
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: type at the top of the soil, the roots mesh
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: together underground, whether it is weeds or wheats. If they
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: are planted in the same space, the roots become entangled underground.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: And for days God has been showing me entangled roots.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go deeper into this in a minute.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Are you ready to go with me?
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I said?
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Are you ready to go with me? I said, are
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you ready to go with me? Timing is what said again, Timing.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Is what.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Good. The tech starts with a very common phrase, the
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of Heaven is lacking. Shows us that kingdom truths
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: are veiled in comparisons. He doesn't tell us what the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: kingdom is. He tells us what the kingdom is lack.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: So the kingdom truths that I am meant to get
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: out of this will come through veiled. It is veiled
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: in comparisons. Whenever the truths are veiled in comparison, you
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: cannot become so inundated with the comparison that you failed
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: to dig beneath the soil of the techs to extract
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the truth. Why is Jesus telling us this story. It
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: is not just so that we may know the story.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: It is that we might understand the truth. That it's
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: hidden in the fabric of the story. So we can't
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: just read through it and say I'm through with it
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and I know the story, because we have to understand
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: that the revelation is hidden in the analogy. It hides
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: behind the parable. It is locked up in the parable
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: in such a way that it causes you not only
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: to read, but to think. If you don't think when
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: you read, you won't retain what you heard. Some people
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: will hear this message and get nothing because they will
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: not add the necessary quotion of thinking with hearing. And
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: if you don't think, I am not your preacher. I
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: cannot preach to people who don't think. So everybody's not
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: from me. I'm cool with that. I'm staying that I
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: get that. That's okay. It's okay. If God is hiding,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: it is God hiding. Let me go that way. Is
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: God hiding the kingdom in parables to avoid exposure. No,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: God isn't the one who hides from us his glory.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: That notion is counterintuitive to who Jesus is himself. Jesus
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: is God revealed. Isaiah fifty three says this word. And
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: it is important who has believed our message and to
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: whom has the Arm of the Lord been revealed. Jesus
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: is God revealed to us. Is God extending himself when
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: it calls the Arm of the Lord is talking about Jesus,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: because Jesus is God extending himself from divinity to humanity.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Jesus came to express God, and we beheld the wonder
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: of his glory, the only begotten of the Father, full
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: of grace and truth. Why would Jesus come to express
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: God and then hide God. He is the revealer, He
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: is the author of the Book of Revelations. John pended,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: but Jesus said it. He is the revealer. So let
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: us not think that God is hiding when God is revealing.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: So when we look at this, we begin to understand
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: that it is man who loves darkness rather than light,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: because his deeds are evil. It is man who hid
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: in the garden from God. It is man who walks
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: away from truth and hides his wickedness and his iniquity
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: from God God. There is not a person in this
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: room that isn't hiding something. Oh, you're not gonna talk
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: to me, but I'm gonna keep on dragging until I
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: get it. There is not a person in this room
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: that isn't hiding something. I have news for the young
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: people who are talking about keeping it one hundred. Nobody
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: keeps it one hundred. You might keep it about ninety.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: If you want to lose everything, keep it one hundred.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: If you want to destroy everything, keep it one hundred.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: If you want to lose your job Monday morning, go
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: in there and keep it one hundred. I don't even
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: want to be here. I'm sick of all of y'all.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: And I never liked you in the first place, and
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: you make me sick, and you get on my nerves.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Will get you fired. But you're keeping it one hundred.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: If you want to get divorced real quick, and she
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: asks you, do my hips look big and it's and
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: you respond to look like two bears fighting in the
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: woods under a blanket. I'm just saying, I'm just saying,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: or he says, am I the greatest lover you ever
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: had known you about number ten, I just loved you,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: and I put up with it, and I like you
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: just killing me and driving me crazy. But the truth
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: of the matter is I was thinking about what I
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: was gonna wear to work. That's keeping it one hundred
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: is also keeping you a divorced boy. There's not a
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: person in this room that isn't hiding something. God has
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: nothing to hide. So when God says the Kingdom of
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Heaven is lack, we must not think that God is
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: hiding the truth as if he were playing hide and
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: go seek with us. What he is doing as the
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: master Rabbi is a teacher explaining the unexplainable to a
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: far less intelligent being what the Kingdom of Heaven is
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: like a first grade teacher teaching a student what it
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: is like to be in Paris is like to travel
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: the world. She has to consider the age and the
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: intellectual development of the student in order to be effective
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: at teaching. She is not hiding. She is reducing it
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: down to the level of the audience she is talking to.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: So when Jesus says the Kingdom of Heaven is lack
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: is it is God stupid? It is God coming to
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: our level. Can you prove it?
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: As high as the heavens are above the earth, so
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: are my thoughts above your thoughts and my ways above
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: your ways. If I spoke it to you on my level,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: you would never understand that.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: So I speak to you.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: In metaphors and similes, at comparisons so that you can
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: learn what the Kingdom of Heaven is like. And I
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: have to find something that you can compare it to,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: because what I am talking about is so high that
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: I'm breaking can get down in the first line when
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I say the Kingdom of Heaven is like I'm talking
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: baby talk, Google God, God, God bad Google God, God,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: bah bah God blah blah dah dah. That's what Jesus
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: is doing when he's talking to us. He is breaking
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: down through the parable some truths that we must take
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: with us. I've got five lessons I'm going to tell
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: you out of this text, and I'm going to talk
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: about them, and I'm going to sit down five things
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: that are to be excavated out of this text for
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the purpose of my assignment today, because all of the
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: times that I have ever preached this text, I have
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: never seen the significance of timing to the text.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: But Time.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Said again, said again, And then I want you to
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: think before I give you my first lesson point. I
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: want you to think, why does God have me here
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: this morning? How does this apply to my life? What
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: is God saying to me? Why am I watching this
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: particular message at this particular time in my life? What
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: in my life needs to be better timed? I made
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: my decisions this morning according to time. I took my
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: shower according to what time it was, I got dressed
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: according to what time it was. I had to keep
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: track of the time because if I lose track of time,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I will always be late. And if I am late,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I lose because timing is why would I want to
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: be in a service. And the glory moved that I
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: missed it. If you miss the first song, when the
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: choir starts singing the Lord, It's blessing me right now,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: and the whole audience was up front, and you had
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: young people dancing off of old music and old people
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: scooting from side to side, you miss one of the
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: building blocks of which I'm standing on right now, because
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: timing is If you don't respect time, you will never
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: be wealthy, you will never be successful, you will never
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: be mighty.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Only poor folks inwardly.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: And outwardly care nothing about timing, because timing is now
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: for the benefit. Before I give the lesson, let me
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: make sure that you're understand the story. In the story,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: we have a certain man who had his servants to
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: sow good seed in the field, and while they slept,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: And I used to preach against them sleeping, until I
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: realized that everybody has to go to sleep. Sometimes it
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: is impossible for you to stay up around the clock.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: The enemy comes in while they are sleep and plants
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the weeds or the tear while they're sleeping. In the story,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: they don't wake up the next morning, and though the
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: enemy has been there, because the enemy has planted it
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: in such a way that when they wake up in
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the morning, they do not notice any change else, notice
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: the timing. It was not the next day, but while
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: they did not notice it, the evil or weeds were
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: sown in the wheat. Jealous anybody who understands, don't let
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: me get ahead of myself. Anybody who understands this understands
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: that there are important truths to be learned less than
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: number one. It is not eve to think that the
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: planting of good it exempts us from the presence of bad.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: It is not eve to think that the planting of
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: good exempts us from the presence of bad. This is
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: important for us to understand. Just because God allows wheat
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: to be planted doesn't mean that weeds are restricted. Are
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: you hearing what I'm saying? The kingdom is like this.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: The kingdom is like this, So we have to be
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: able to produce in the presence of weeds. So for
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: all of you who are waiting for all the weeds
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: to be gone before you produce the wheat, you are
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: not digging deep enough into this text. Because this text
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: declares there will never be a day that you can
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: be wheapful without being weedful. God allows the wheat to
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: be planted, That doesn't mean that the weeds are restricted.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Wheat is planted with great intentionality. Wheat is planted with
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: great intentionality. In other words, wheat is not going to
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: grow in this ground if it is not planted. It
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: is not a natural result of the climate, the soil,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: the rain, and the sunshine. It has to be planted.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Nobody succeeds accidentally. Nobody wins a marathon accidentally. Nobody wins
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the Olympics accidentally. Nobody gets a master's degree accidentally. Nobody
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: gets a diploma accidentally. Nobody passes a ged accidentally, nobody
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: gets a promotion accidentally. Just because you pray, does it
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: mean you win. This is work, This is sweat, This
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: is labor because this is agriculture, and agriculture means that
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: the intention of sowing the seed is that I might
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: have wheat, and the intention of having wheat is that
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: I might have bread. From seed to wheat to bread
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: is going to take.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: I can't plant.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Seed today and eat bread tonight because timing is.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: So.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: If I am going to be seedful, I have to
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: be patient for the seed to grow first down and
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: then up. You didn't get that it's gonna first grow
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: down and then up. Some of you are standing over
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: your life talking about I don't see nothing. I don't
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: see nothing. I keep sewing and I don't see nothing.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: The seed grows down before it grows up. You're not
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: supposed to see it. But just because you don't see
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that the roots are not growing in
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: the soil. And if you wait a little while, it
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: is going to go from.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Seed to wheat.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: And from wheat to bread, and there is work in
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: between every stage. The seed is work, we heat is work,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: the bread is work. You cannot eat any better than
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: you work. No, somebody say your blessing is going to
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: be work. When you get through dancing and shouting about
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: the promise of God, understand that you're gonna have to
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: break some sweat. You're won't have to put some effort
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: in it. You're gonna have to grind the wheat. You're
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: gonna have to pull verise it. You can't just bring
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: the wheat in and make bread until you crush it.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: It's got to be crushed. It's got to be made
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: into a usable form. And so it doesn't mean that
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: God hasn't blessed you with the bread. It could mean
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: that you haven't put in the work to go from
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: seed to to.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: From seed.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: To Oh you're listening this morning, look at somebody and
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: tell them I'm going from seed to wheat to bread.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I might not be ready for consumption right now, but
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I'm in process and I'm going somewhere, and don't look
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: down at me because I'm not bread. I may be
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: in the wheat stage. I may be in the seed stage,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: but I am on my way to a place that
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: God has destined from me. Who am I talking to
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: this morning? Whoever I'm talking to, God says, hang on
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: in there. I'm not finished with you yet. I'm taking
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: you through process and at the right time, I'm gonna
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: take you from seed to to I'm still dancing off.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: It's already done. It's already done. It's already done, and
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: it is done on purpose. I want you to get this.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: The reason it is planted is because it is not
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: indigenous to the land. The word agriculture is rooted in
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: the word cults. Cult means you're not Orthodox, means you're
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: not natural, you're not normal. Agra means land. That means
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: that wheat is not normal to the land. You can't
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: just wish for it. You have to make it happen.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Agra culture culture. I'm going to make this happen. It
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: is not indigenous. You don't get it just because you
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: want it. You gotta plant it. You gotta be intentional
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: about it, you gotta work on it, you gotta labor
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: for it because you were not raised in an environment
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: that agrees with your dream. That doesn't mean you can't
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: have it. It means that you've got to be cultural
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: enough to be a cult against your neighborhood. I'm the
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: only one in my family, I'm the only one in
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: my neighborhood. I'm the only one in my city. I'm
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: the only one in my house. Have they don't like
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: me at the family reunion. Have they don't invite me
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: back to the parties, and my friends have changed because
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: I am cultish to them.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I broke the rule. I got out. Everybody who got
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: out makes some noise.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Faith is a cult
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: to the unbeliever. It is not natural to the unbeliever.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Stop trying to make the people at work understand what
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: they can understand. It is not indigenous to them for
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: them to believe. If the Gospel will be hid, it
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: is hid from them that are loss they case hid.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Can I go deeper? How many people are getting blessed
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: in this room. You got to be willing to be different.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: You've got to be willing to be controversial. You've got
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: to be willing to be talked about. And the greatest
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: problem in our com community right now is that we
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: are so sensitive. We're more worried about being locked than
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: we are being fruitful. And you're praying to God about
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: what they said, and she said, and he said, and
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: God said, unless you deny mother, father, sister, brother, and
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: even deny yourself, you cannot be my disciple. What they
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: say about you doesn't matter. We don't like weeds. Get
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: it to your head. Weeds don't like weed. You got
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: to decide do you want to be weep or do
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: you want to be weeds? Lesson number two, My God
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: ned your neighbors say you came on the right Sunday.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: I can feel it right now. Something is going to
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: happen in here today. Something is going to happen in
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: here today. Something is going to happen in here today.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Something is going to happen in here today. I feel
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: it in my spirit. I'm feeling it in a old shop.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I feel it in my soul. God is about to
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: do something in the middle of his people. He's forcing
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: some things to happen. He's being intentional he's panting something's intentionally.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Somebody shout, yeah, lesson number two. This is a good lesson.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: Whenever there is great potential for harvest, the enemy will
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: always earmark the spot with calamity. Whenever there is great
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: potential for harvest, the enemy will earmark the spot with calamity.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Somebody was telling me about a restaurant that they liked
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: up in North Dallas, and I was getting my head
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: shaved at the time, and I said, let me found
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: it in my phone. So I got in my phone
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: and found it in my phone, and then and I
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: ear marked it as a favorite. I haven't been there yet,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: but I'm ear marked as a favorite, so I could
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: find it easily. I haven't been yet, but I heard
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: there was potential, so I ear marked it so I
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: could find it when I had. So wherever the enemy
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: sees potential, he will always ear mark it with calamity.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: So they never planted weeds before the wheat.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Noticed the sequence. It was the wheat.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Being planted that cast them to plant the wheedl They
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: didn't plant the weed and then plant the wheat. The
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: wheat attracts the weed so that the enemy can earmark
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: the spot The double knew God was gonna bless you.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Hell knew God was going to use you. Hell knew
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: that God had a purpose for your life. He earmarked
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: it with calamity. Notice this, the tear, the wheat, the
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: weeds rather was planted too, planted like spies behind enemy lines.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Whatever went wrong in your life, whatever calamities happen in
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: your life, whatever calamities that happened in your past, whatever
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: trauma you went through in your life in your childhood,
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: was the enemy's way of earmarking the spot. He knew
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: it wasn't time yet, but he started working underground before
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: you ever came up, so that he would have his
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: system in place before you became fruitful. He would always
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: already have his infrastructure in place, so you would have
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: something to struggle with. Struggle, struggle, struggle, struggle, struggles, struggle, struggle.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Where my strugglers at my strugglers? Why I think so
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: hard for me? Why do I take two steps forward
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: and get knocked three steps back? Why is it hard
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: for me to do things that other people do easily?
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Is because he embarked you. Why am I so doubtful?
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Why am I so insecure? Why am I so needy.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Why am I so petty? He marked you so while
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: men slept, the enemy came and planted the weeds. Also,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: where there was wheat, there would be weeds with intentionality too.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: He meant for you to be abuse. I hate you,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: tell you this. He meant for you to be molested.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: He meant for your father to hate you. He meant
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: for your mother to give you to your grandmother. He
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: had to guard the infrastructure early, because once you became fruitful,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: it would be too late to do anything to you.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: He had to start it early in your life so
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: you would be broken in all the right places. You're
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: not just fighting a demon. You're fighting a system. You're
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: fighting a system. You're fighting a system that has been
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: launched against you. But the only reason it's been launched
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: is because you are we. The enemy seeks to corrupt
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: the environment where God has seed in the ground. The
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: saboteur is feels slithering in the garden.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: In the text. He is true to.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: The law first mentioned when we first meet him in Genesis.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: He is slithering in the garden. He is still slithering
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: in the garden. Wherever God is planting something, Satan will
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: always be slithering in the garden. Somebody shout, I have
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: been planted. That means that Satan has been slithering in
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: the garden. We will always find him slithering in the garden.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: The saboteur, the snake, is stealthy and cunning. He waits
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: till they're asleep, because he knows that if he would
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: have come while they were wake, they would have driven
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: them away. So while men sleep, he slid it. He
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: waited till nobody was looking. He waited till nobody was
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: at home. He waited till you were in a place
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: of vulnerability. He waited till you were in a place
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: of desperation. He waited until your rent was backed up.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: He waited till you were in a crisis. He waited
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: till you were a child. He waited till you were
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: in a jab. He waited until you went to summer camp.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: He waited until you went to the boys school. He waited.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: He waited because the enemy understands that. So while men slept,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: he came, planting in the dark, sewing in the soil.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: I don't get to see him planted, and I don't
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: to see what he planted. He is covered by the
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: darkness of night, and his craftiness is hidden under the soil.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: When they wake up that morning, they see no difference.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: How many of you have gone through something and nobody
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: saw no difference. Here comes my rooting system. When the
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: men woke up that morning, they didn't know when they
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: were watering the wheat, they were watering the weeds. And
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: the infrastructure has now become a system underground before the
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: whek comes up, before the wedding, before the degree, before
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: the call to ministry. The system. You're fighting a system, Kashaya.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: You're fighting a system. You're not fighting a devil. You're
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: fighting a system. All I could see for days and
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: days and days were these tangled up roots. You are
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: fighting an infrastructure. The Kingdom of Heaven is lack listening
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: what Jesus is saying. The Kingdom of Heaven is lack
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: The war is underground. The war is underground. The tangle
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: is underground. You're trying to fight on top of the soil,
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: but the system is underground. You're trying to fight in
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: the flesh. But the system is in the spirit. It's
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: in the spirit world. It's in the spirit world. It's
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: in the spirit world. Somebody says it's in the spirit world.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: So the enemy has brought me to Lesson number three.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: Lesson number three, Get this. Corruption and destruction are two
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: different things. Corruption and destruction are two different things. He
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: could not destroy the wheat, so all he could do
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: was corrupt the environment in which the wheat was coming.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Oh God, he couldn't stop it from coming up. He
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: just wanted to make it hard for you. Tape it
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: on the line. He can't kill this. He cannot kill
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: my destiny. He cannot kill my future. He cannot kill
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: what God has for me. He cannot kill what God
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: has ordered. He cannot kill what God has ordained. He
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: cannot curse. Let me go deeper. He cannot curse what
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: God has blessed. If I was blessed in my root,
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be blessed in my fruit. You cannot curse
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: what God has blessed. Are there any blessed people in
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: the house. The witch cannot curse you. Hell cannot curse you.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: The demons cannot curse you. Trials cannot curse you. What
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: they say about you cannot curse you. While they taunt
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: you cannot curse you. How they make fun of you
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: cannot curse you.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: Nod seven. People are telling them.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: I'm blessed, I'm blessed, I'm blessed, I'm blessed, I'm blessed,
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: I'm blessed. I'm blessed. I'm blessed. I'm blessed. I'm blessed.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: I'm blessed, I'm blessed. I'm blessed. I'm blessed. I'm blessed underground.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: I'm blessed underground. You may not be able to see
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: what the Lord has done for me, but I'm blessed underground.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: If I'm blessed underground, I'm gonna be blessed when I
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: come up. I'm blessed in my uprising. I'm blessed in
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: my down setting. I'm blessed in the city. I'm blessed
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: in the feet. I'm blessed in season. I'm blessed out
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: of season. I'm just blessed. Hey, us, get used to it.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just blessed. I was blessed before you saw it.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: I was blessed before I saw it, before I was
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: formed in my mama's belly, I was already blessed.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: I was blessed before.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: I was a twinkle in my daddy's I I was
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: blessed before my mother missed her cycle. I was blessed
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: before she finished her first time. Mister, I was blessed
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: before I piped my head out of her room. I
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: was already blessed before I was baptized. I was blessed
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: before I was converted. I was already blessed. In fact,
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: the reason I got converted is because I was already blessed.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: It is not that I've chosen God, but that God
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: has chosen me.
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: I'm blessed, blessed, time, blessed, I'm blessed, I'm blessed.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: I'm blessed, I'm blessed, I'm blessed, I'm blessed. Jimmy, my
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: next life, I'm gonna keep going. How many blessed people
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: do I have in here? How many blessed people.
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: Do I have?
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: How many blessed people do I have? How many blessed
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: people do I have? So since corruption and destruction are
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: not the same thing, and he couldn't destroy my blessing,
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: he wanted to corrupt my environment. I just answered the
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: question that somebody's been praying about. You've been asking God,
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: why the thing go down like they went down? They
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: only went down like that because the hell knew you
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: were already blessed, and the only thing he could do
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: was corrupt your environments. He was working underground. He was
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: working in the root system. He was working before you
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: ever saw who you were. He was working before you
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: recognized that there was a call on your life. He
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: was working before you became fruitful. He was working before
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: you got a title. He was working before being recognizer.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: He was working before you became a deacon. He was
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: working before you came to gen He is great, But
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: the devil already knew, because the devil believes in seeds
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: more than the saints does. If the saints believed in seeds,
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: offerings would be no trouble. But what we're trying to
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: convince you of the kingdom already understands that you cannot
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: reap what you do not sow. If you so sparingly,
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: you shall reap sparingly. You shall know the tree by
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: the fruit in pars. If you don't put nothing in,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: you don't get nothing out. Who am I talking to today?
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Don't let the children of this world be wiser than
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: the children of light. You got to understand that while
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: the earth remained her, there will always be seed time
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: and harvest. Everything comes by seed. Grasp rose by seed,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: Apples come by seed, watermelon comes by seed. You came
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: by seed, Jesus, it is the seed of Abraham. Even
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: God understands seed. Everything comes by seed. So say the
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: new if he was going to enter your area, he
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: had to plant seeds.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: He knew what you doubt.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: You're still trying to have success without sacrifice. The roots
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: that I saw, the twisting of the roots, It's all
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: an infrastructure of what the Kingdom of Heaven is lack.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: Watch this.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: The men didn't even know that the weeds were there
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: until the wheat sprung up.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: The weeds.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Came up also, And the men come to the Master
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: and say, from whence cometh these weeds?
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: Where did this come from? Where did this come from?
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: Where did this come from? Why am I like this?
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: Why is it so hard for me to get certain
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: things through my head? Why can I not shut my mouth?
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: Why am I so abrave? You've been thinking that something
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: was wrong with them. I just misunderstood.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: No, you me.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: They didn't misunderstand you. They don't misunderstand nothing else you do.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: And let's a girl at the grocery store can't understand you.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: The god the ticket counter when you're getting a ticket
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: can't understand you. They didn't misunderstand you. They triggered you,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: and they triggered you because a system was laid in place.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: We know what the system is. We know who planted it.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: The question remained in the text, why.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: Did he planted? And this is an important question.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: If you don't understand why he planted it, you can't
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: figure how to overcome it. My first thought was, maybe
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: the weeds will kill the wheat. But the truth of
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: the matter is the wheat and the weed can grow
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: up right beside each other. And if it was wheat
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: when it went in the ground, it'll be wheat when
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: it comes out of the ground. If it was a
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: weed when it went in the ground, it'll be a
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: weed when it comes out of the ground. So, if
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: the weeds didn't kill the wheat, why did he plant it?
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Again? The kingdom of heaven is lack?
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: The kingdom of heaven is lack, or your parents should
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: I quit?
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: Why did he plant it? So we can't figure out
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: why did he plant it?
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: If he couldn't curse what God is blessed, if he
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: couldn't change the molecular structure of what he planted in me.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: If he couldn't change my wheat to weed, why did
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: he go out at night and slither and put the
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: weed beside the wheat. The temptation is not in the
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: substance of the wheat and the weed, but the decision
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: of how you handle it.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: Come on, come on, come on, come on, don't.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: Leave me now, because if you leave me now, you'll
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: miss the whole thing. The whole mystery is in the question.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: When they asked him, from whence come this? The Master said,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: an enemy hath done this. They said, should we go
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: here it is and pull up the weeds? And he said, no,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: leave it alone. See the Master now that there was
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: a system underground that even if you pull only the weeds,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: there was such a tangling in the roots that he said,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: if you pull up the weeds, you will kill the weeds.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: Now I see what the devil is trying to get
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: me to do. He's trying to get me to take
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: matters into my own hands and try to solve the problem.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: But the Holy Ghost told me to tell you leave
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: it alone. I don't know who I'm talking to. I
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: don't even know what this means to you. God said,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: you're uncomfortable, but leave it alone. You're frustrated, leave it alone.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: You're aggravated, but leave it alone. Your friend, but leave
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: it alone. You're tired of it, but leave it alone.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: That's the setup. The devil wants you to do something.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: God said, you gotta have enough faith to leave it alone.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: Somebody give him thirty seconds of crazy pre No I
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: said crazy prie, I said, crazy priest. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: I'm already wet now Welco's.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: So Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the power of doing nothing, the power
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: of doing nothing. It takes small faith to do nothing
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: than it does to do something. The enemy can't curse you,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: but he's trying to use you to curse yourself. Be
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: still and know that I am God. If I said
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: it's weak, it will be weak. If I said you're blessed,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: you will be blessed. Stand still and see the salvation
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: of the Lord. The enemies that you see today. Somebody
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: better grab my coattail because I feel I'm pushing up
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: a fire in this place. Leave it alone, don't do nothing,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: stand still, hold your peace.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: The battle is not just. It belongs to God.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: Somebody shouting his house. I just understood the trick. It's
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: a booby trotting. If you're trying to get out of it,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: you're gonna kill your destiny. Be still the deublicate cushion.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: He's trying to trick you and the cushion yourself. So
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: he built an infrastructure underground so.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: That when you grab the weed, you'll pull up the weeds.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: What's so?
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: The Master says, listen for let me give you this.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: I'm almost I hope you got one more out of this.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: I'm done.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: I want you to get this. The wisdom of waiting
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: is the opiate of faith. The wisdom of waiting is
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: the opiate of faith, especially since time is so expensive
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: to spin. The trick is to wait it out. The
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: Master says, leave it alone. Less while trying to fix it,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: you make it worse. It's a setup. We cannot change wheat.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: So why did he plant it to trick you into
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: this impatience where you feel like you're running out of time?
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: And you've got to do something now. Your faith is
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: expressed through your silence. This is not your battle. The
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: wisdom of waiting is the opiate of faith. The most
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: expensive seed you.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: Can plant is time.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: If you're so money, you're gonna get some more money.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: But if you're planning time, you'll never have it again.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: And the enemy has planned you with a spirit of
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: urgency that makes you want to take matters into your
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: own hands. Vague that wait upon the Lord shoving you
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: their strength. They shall mount up a weeds like he goles.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: and not faith. Somebody hollow, wait, somebody hollow wait, somebody hollerwaight.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: Bet, he says, leave it alone.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: It's not that you're wrong, it's that the timing is
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: it right. If you pull it before the wheat is harvested,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: we will lose the whole harvest through the seduction of
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: your frustration with the wheat. He said, in the time
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: I feel prophetic. Am I prophesying to somebody? If I'm
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: prophesying to you, shout on the guard. If you're online,
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: say he's prophesying to me. Write it on the line.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: He's prophesying to me. He's prophesying to me. He's telling
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: me how to handle it. He's foretelling how to deal
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: with this situation. Because I'm frustrated and I'm tired, and
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: I'm aggravating, and I don't understand what I'm fighting, and
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know how it got started, and I don't
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: know where it came from, and I don't understand why
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: it's like this, and I got two conflicting things operating
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: at the same time, and the enemy is trying to
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: make me make a decision, and I don't know what
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: decision to make. God said, don't make any decision.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: Just stand still.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: You're not wrong. It's not tired. The next verse sense
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: that if you just waited out, the harvest cannot be rushed.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: This is less than number five. The harvest cannot be
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: rushed by the need or even.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: The angst of the planter.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: But it will come. It is inevitable. God says, don't
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: pull it before the harvest. Shunda bokoshi, I gotta quit.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: He says, what is not lawful before the harvest is
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: lawful in the time of harvest. Watch the wisdom. If
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: you pull it before the harvest, you're going to kill
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: your destiny. But in the time of harvest, where you
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: have nothing to lose, the wheat coming up with the
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: weeds won't matter because you've already brought forth fruit. So
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: he says, the harvest cannot be rushed by the need
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: or the angst of the planter. But it will come.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: It will come. Somebody shot it will come. It is inevitable.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: You are going to come into a harvest season, and
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: what you couldn't deal with in this season, you will
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: be able to deal with in the next season without
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: damage to your harvest. He says, When the harvest comes up,
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: pull the wheat, gather it into bundles.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: And burn it.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: Because the tear that land over there that you uprooted
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: when you yank the system, it's already harvested.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: I'm going to close. I really want to close it
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: another way, but I'm out of their.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: The Lord told me to tell you that you're coming
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: into your harvest season. You're coming into your harvest season,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: and the reason you're so frustrated and the weeds seems
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: so intolerable that you've been tolerating for years are driving
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: you crazy in this season. Weeds that you ignored in
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: your past are driving you crazy at this moment is
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: because you're closer to your harvest than you have ever
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: been before. Somebody in this room that's been waiting on
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: harvests a long time. You ought to give God a harvest.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: Praise the Lord meant for the choir to see it's
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: already done. They didn't even know what I was going
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: to preach. But the Holygirl says, your harvest is already done.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: This is no time to panic, This is no time
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: to get frustrated. This is no time to give up.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: This is no time to give out. You're about to
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: come into your HARMSS whoever I'm preaching to for the
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: next three minutes, to let Hell know that you will
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: heart from God. I want you to give God. I
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: dare you, I dare you to praise him. I dare
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: you to praising.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, Wait a minute. You don't get it yet.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: The principle of the Bible said, and if you're so
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: in tears, you're gonna reap in joan. And there's no
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: way to reap your harvess as long as you're frustrated.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: That's why the devil is trying to get on your nurse.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: Because you can't reap with sorrow. You're sow in tears,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: you're reaping with jaw. I dare you to get sore.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: Sorry by snaps jay, get your joy back. You're going
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: into harvest. He and God fought or weeping should double.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: Let's come again with rejausy bringing in the sheees by
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: the next three minutes. Everybody, everybody who's anybody that's expecting
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: a harvest, I want sorry, to get.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: It out and thank all of this done.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Wait a minute, everybody who ain't praising God,
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 4: you ain't got nothing to harness with until you get
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 4: short joy.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: You can't bring in your harness with joy. We draw
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: water something from the world. A silence. You wait two minutes?
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 5: Well, eximing, Yes, I dare you.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: I tell you, I kill you.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: I got you.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: It's just all the harvests I got. I don't have
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: a six hound seven. I don't have a second harvest.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 5: Listen out of.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: This all church, I don't have a turn the army
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: to I that you. I dill you.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: It's already time. Come on falls, I think a church.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: It's it's.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 5: Already, it's already.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: Do it's up, is it s It's listen you say
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: it's all say it's all right, that's it's it's s it's.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 6: As I remember on this twenty sixth anniversary, I want
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 6: you to understand that when I told you to praise
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 6: Him for your harvest, you are dancing in one of mine.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: We sewed in tears. Everything happened to us in these
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: twenty six years. Everything happened, lost Your mama, lost, My
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: mama died of Alzheimer's, in our arms, sickness, struggle attacks
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: where God wouldn't let me defend myself. He told me
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: to shut up, don't say nothing. The hardest thing I
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: ever did in my life was to not fight back.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't understand that my silence was spiritual warfare.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: We dug a hole.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: And had money and good credit, and no leonder in
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: this city would give us the money the eighty six
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: or so million dollars we needed to build this bill.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: I had never needed eighty six million dollars in my life.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: You talking about scared when those weeds started growing up
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: in this hole that we had dug till we ran
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: out of money, and I was leaving people and telling
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: them what God could do, and it wasn't happening. And
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: God said, you just keep on preaching. It is not
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: your job to do anything but what I call you
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: to do. And you have come into another system in
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: this city. There is a demonic influence over this region
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: that wants to subjugate certain people to certain things, and when.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: You stick your head up, they try to crush you.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: The very fact that we are in this building, tore
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: down the old building, built a brand new structure in
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: that building, about four hundred acres of land across the street,
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: put schools and houses on it. Before we got to
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: do that, we crawled, We cried, we suffered, we couldn't sleep,
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: we couldn't rest. But timing, it's everything. Twenty six years later,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: remember Katrina, Remember what we went through, Remember the storms
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: that rose. Remember how we were feeding people and they
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: were talking about me like a dog. Remember when I
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: came here, how the preachers were preaching against me on
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: the radio and television, And I would drive the church
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: listening at them crushing my ministry. If anybody has a
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: right to preach this message, timing is everything. I can
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: do some things now that I could never have done then,
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: because it is the time of harvest. If you move
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: out of time, prodigal son. You will get what was
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: yours too soon and lose it all. It's yours, but
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: it's not time. You're right when you say it's yours.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: But timing.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: Is everything. How many people hurt? God? Talk you this morning?
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: Type on the line. If you heard God, Type it
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: on the line. If you heard God, Hold your hand
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: up real high, if you heard God. You know, we
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: always teach you about the faith to do, the faith
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: to touch, the faith to crawl like the woman within
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: your blood, the faith to do like to throw down
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: your bed and walk, the faith to drop your crutches
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: of faith, to go to the pool. We'd never teach
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: you about the faith of being still. There are certain
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: attacks that come against you in the kingdom that the
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: smartest thing to do is nothing, because it's not it's
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: not time yet. Timing is everything. In a moment, I'm
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: going to challenge you. It's just just a little simple challenge.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: I don't want to make it high. I don't want
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: to make it big. I don't want to make it tall.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: Just twenty six dollars. Don't get it yet, don't move forward,
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: don't go for it. I want to pray, but I
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: want everybody online, everybody online, everybody who heard God speak
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: to you in a very personal, profound, prophetic way, everybody
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: in this building. Twenty six dollars. I want you to
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: sew into this harvest, this present moment. Don't get it yet,
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: don't get it yet. I'm going to pray for your patience.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: I am going to pray that you would have the
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: courage to wait when the urgency.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: You feel inside has got you on a ten. I
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: gotta do something. I gotta do it. I gotta do
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: it right now. I gotta move, I gotta make a move.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: It's a set up.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: If the weeds wouldn't kill the wheat, then the answer
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: to the text has got to be that he was
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: trying to tempt them to uproot the wheat too soon.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: While you're aiming at the wheat, while you're aiming at
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: the weeds, the devil is after your wheat. You have
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: come too far to lose your wat. You have been
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: through too much to lose your weight. You have gone
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: through hell. Why get here and abort the mission? You
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: need to understand that the enemy can't curse you, but
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: you can curse yourself. Your mouth can curse you, your
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: temper can cush your tongue can curse you. Your anger
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: and your frustration can curse what God has blessed. And
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: the enemy knew the strongest weapon he had against the
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: purpose of God was the people of God in the
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: time of harvest. If we are not in the time
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: of harvest right now, it ain't coming. If the harvest
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: of the earth is not right. If we're not living
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: in the last day, I don't know what the last
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: day is. If this, if you can't pick up your
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: Bible and your newspaper and can't tell which one you read,
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: we are living in the final moments of history. If
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: God be God, we're all kinds of plagues. Before you
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: can get over one, here comes another one, and here
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: comes another one, and here comes another one. And the
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: Bible always said it. But when I was studying it,
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: we weren't see it. We were studying it, but we
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: were not seeing all manner of diseases, no cures, no
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: solutions coming up. Before you can get rid of one,
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: here comes another one. They got so many covids, house,
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: so many monkey diseases. We got birds flu we got
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: all kinds. We're running out of animals. And still you're here.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: How dare you be frustrated and breathe? You're still here.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: There are mass graves, and you are still.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: If you can't find no joy, if you don't believe
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: in God, now, you ain't gonna never believe. Some of
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: you he kept from COVID. Some of you he delivered
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: through COVID. You are walking talking testimony that nothing the
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: enemy did to destroy you stopped you from being here today.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: You ought to be more grateful. You ought to be
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: more faithful. You ought to have more praise. You ought
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: to have more discipline. You ought to have more structure.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: You are you are? You are?
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: You ought to be grateful, more grateful, more grateful, more grateful.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: You you're not on a respirator, more grateful. If you
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: weren't about to come into harvest, all hell wouldn't be
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: breaking against you. The system wouldn't be leveled against you.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: Look what's happening to the systems in our country. Look
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: at them crumbling and falling and fighting and going apart.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: We are rushing you.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: Remember, if you've been in this church a while, I
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: told you all a few years ago. I feel like
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: we're rushing towards something. I don't know what it is.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: Do you remember me telling you. I said, I feel
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: like we're rushing at something. It's like everything is sped
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: up and we're moving towards something and I can't see
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: what it is. But we were rushing towards something when
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: COVID broke and we crashed globally. We hit something that
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: the world had never seen before. I told my church
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: two years before. Everything is speeding up and we're heading
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: towards something, and we're.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: Going to hit it.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but I can feel it,
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: and I can feel it coming. These are the last days.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: Timing is everything. The Bible said, he would fool the
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: very elective possible. He's trying to fool you into making
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: stupid decisions.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: It's a setup. It's a trap. Yes, I abushit it.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 2: I talk that short die.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: Your patience is critical, Your endurance is critical.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: You are forbearance. It's necessary. You must.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: Trust him to finish what he started. He that had
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: began a good work, and you shall perform it. A
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: to the day of Jesus Christ. Every person who needs patience,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: the Bible said, run with patience. The race set is
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: set before you. What an oxymoron? How can I run
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: and be patient. Those are two different feelings. God said,
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: you gotta keep your rhythm and calm your spirit.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: You gotta run with patience.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: They call shot doc mbogi, he can DIEE come do
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: the old shot. You got to keep your breathing steady
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: and your legs going fast. Run with patience. The race
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: set is set before you lift your hands. If you
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: need that patience, Time is everything. You are not forgotten,
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: You are not forsaken. You have not been left behind.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: I know it's scary to be surrounded by weeds, but
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: no weapon formed against you shall be able to prosper.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: You must believe that it's still going to happen, that
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: it's not too late, that you're not in too deep,
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: that God has not forgotten you. Be still and trust him.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: Right now we are in a dangerous place. Our frustrations
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: and our moods and our feelings cannot be trusted. The
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of Heaven is lacking. I know there's an eschatological
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: understanding of this Texas Jesus exegetes in another chapter.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: I know all of that.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: I understand all of that. But what the spirit gave
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: me to give you this text is a raiment word
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: for your situation. Be still, shut your mouth, hold your beasts,
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: praise your God. Let the devil know that you know
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: that if I win in the ground wheat, I'm coming
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: up wheat, and I'm going to go from seed to
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: wheat to bread, seed to wheat to bread. I won't
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: stop till I taste some bread. I won't stop until
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: I feed my family, my heirs, my descendants. I will
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: not stop until my vision is completed in my ministry.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: I will not stop until I see the hope of
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: my calling. I will not stop until this anointing comes
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: to fruition. I will not stop, We will not stop.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: Let the spirit of patience come over this people. Let
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: all bickering and murmuring cease, and quietness and confidence shall
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: be your strength. Quietness and confidence means you're strong, not
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: loud and boisterous and yelling and screaming. Quiet and confidence
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: shall be your strength. Based still, based, still, bastill, and
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: know that I am gone on this twenty sixth anniversary
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: of what seemed impossible.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: This what's the hardest. Baby.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: I have a birthed, the labor pains cost everything. Your
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: normal is my harvest. You walked into it. You see
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: it as normal. I see it as harvest that a
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: backwoods boy from the hills of West Virginia, born in
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: a raggedy house on the side of a cliff, who
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: nobody knew that God would raise him up to this
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: place and this moment and this hour is a sign
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: to this generation. I don't know what your destiny is.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know what your prophecy is. It may not
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: be to do this or that or the other. But
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: God has something in store for you, or you would
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: be buried.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: You are alive.
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: Stop complaining, you are alive. Stop murmuring. Take a deep breath.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: Everybody online, everywhere, take a deep breath. Breath it in,
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: blow it out. Peace be unto you. Patience rest upon you.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: You are closer to your harvest than you have ever
• 1:45:45
