  Speaker 1: Coming up on The Potter's Touch.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: I'm better. I'm better than I was when I went down.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: It was good for me that I've been afflicted. For
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: had I not been afflicted, I would have never known
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: the glory of God. I'm better for it. I didn't
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: like it, but I'm better for it. I couldn't see
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: down there, but I'm better for it. You see, I
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: was planted in a dark place where my sight didn't
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: work for me, but I'm better for it. Every time
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: you go through something dark and you can't see your
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: way out, remember you've been planted, not been buried, and
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: when you come up... This is the potter's touch.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: God bless you.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I'm excited to have the opportunity to be in your
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: home and be in your life and to be used
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: to God. Oh, God. God is good, isn't he? I'm
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: excited to share this word with you. This is a
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: good word. The word is called water the seed. A
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: lot of people got the seed, but they don't know
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: how to water it. Watering is the last step before increase.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I have not been burned out. I've not been buried.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I've not been down and out and beyond God's help
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: because every time I got down, he watered me. That's
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the difference between being buried And being planted. You don't
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: water things that are buried. You water things that are planted.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I want you to water this seed and allow the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit to get a hold to you real good.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: 1 Corinthians chapter 3 verse 4 through 9.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Water the seed.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: It is God's will for you to have increase. It
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: is God's will for you to have increase. Nobody teaches
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: you without the hope of you having increase. It is
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: not just the learning, the digesting of the information that
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: is important. That's one element of it. But if you
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: don't know what to do with the information, what good
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: is it? I can tell you how to lose weight.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: You can understand how to lose weight. You can write
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: books about losing weight. But if you don't do what
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I'm telling, it won't work. What good is it to
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: know it if you don't do it? So faith without
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: works is... Oh, come on, somebody. Are you with me?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: So Apollos, now he begins to approach this because he
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: wants us to understand it is God that gives the increase.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Hooray for those who plan. And hooray for those who water.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: But it is God that gives the increase. But you
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: must understand that to be planted is destiny concealed. To
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: be planted is destiny concealed. To have increase is destiny revealed.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: So when you plant a seed, you don't plant it
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: as if the planting were the final destination.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: You plant it and you can't see it anymore.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Its destiny is concealed in the hopes that ultimately it
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: will become a stalk of corn or an apple tree
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: or whatever it was you planted. And in between the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: destiny concealed and the destiny revealed is something we call watering.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And I thought, as dynamic as the text may be,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: to grapple with the notion of being planted and to
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: grapple with the notion of having increase seems totally irrelevant
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: if we don't stop by the station of watering. Because
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: watering is the last step before increase. It is the
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: transition point between what is concealed and what is revealed.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: And without the benefit of watering, the destiny will die
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: in the ground, never reaching its potential, simply because it
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: has never been watered. And I thought I would ask
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: you this morning, have you ever been watered? Now, you
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: must understand this whole notion of agriculturalism is something that
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: is a common theme with God from the very beginning
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: of the book of Genesis. When God first creates every
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: living thing, the Bible says in Genesis 1 and 2,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: he created it with the seed.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Inside of itself.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: And God really was saving himself from work because had
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: he not created the seed inside of every living thing,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: he would have had to come down every time we
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: wanted more and say, let there be. But because he
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: said let there be the first time and created destiny
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: in the seed of every living thing, he never has
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: to create again.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: We procreate.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: By continuing the creation is totally dependent on the discovery
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: of seeds. In fact, the Bible says in Genesis chapter 8,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: while the earth remaineth, there will always be day and night,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: cold and heat, seed time and harvest. Jesus says, except
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: it abides alone. But if it die, it will bring
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: forth much fruit. You see this theme goes all through
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the Bible. Jesus says, I am the vine. Ye are
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the branches. My father is the husbandman. Every branch in
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: me that beareth not fruit. He'd taken the way all
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: through the Bible. Transcending ages, eras, and dispensations is this
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: agricultural discussion. Can I go a little bit deeper? Now,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the word agriculture is an interesting term. It is a
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: very powerful term. It is derived from two contributors, agra
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: and cult, agra and cult. Agra speaks to vegetation and cult.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: You know what a cult is. A cult in contemporary
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: terms is any group of people who have some religious
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: connotations that are not orthodox. We call them a cult,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: meaning they are not orthodox or ordinary or normal. So
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: if you take a cult... and put agra in front
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: of it, what would it mean? It would mean that
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the living thing is not normal to the ground it's in.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: It didn't grow naturally. It had to be planted.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Hence, you have the term agriculture. It means I made
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: it grow. It's not orthodox. It's not ordinary. It wouldn't
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: have happened by itself. It wasn't scheduled to come up
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: in ground like this. It normally wouldn't grow in this
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: type of soil. But because I'm going to force it
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: to grow, that's agriculture. Good God have mercy. I'm reading
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: somebody's mail right now. You cannot embrace what I'm about
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: to teach if you don't understand that you have been planted.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: You didn't grow wild. You didn't just happen. You weren't
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: just an afterthought. You didn't just come to be. You
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: were planted. The sperm cell that created you out swam
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: all of the millions of other cells before you had
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: a Bible. Before you had a Bible, before you had
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: a hymn book, you were already in a fight.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: And that cell, I'll swear, of all.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: The rest, because you have been planted.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I want to make the distinction about being planted
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: because the act of planting can be.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Confusing to the student who.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Has not watched. Because planting looks no different... from burial.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: In order to do either one of them, you got
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: to do some digging. And once you dig down in
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: the ground, both of them are concealed. But one of
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: them has a destiny and the other one does not.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: You bury the dead to get rid of the body.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: But you plant a seed so that it can go
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: through a transformation of coming back up greater than it
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: was when it went down.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, good God have mercy. That's so good, I'm.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Going to come over here and say it again. When
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: you plant a seed, you're not burying it to get
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: rid of it. You're planting it so that it can
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: go through a metamorphosis and come back up better than
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: it was when it went down. How many people in
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: this room have come up better than you were?
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I'm better.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I'm better. I'm better than I was when it went down.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: It was good for me that I've been afflicted. For
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: had I not been afflicted, I would have never known
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: the glory of God. I'm better for it. I didn't
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: like it, but I'm better for it. I couldn't see
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: down there, but I'm better for it. it you see
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I was planted in a dark place where my sight
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: didn't work for me but I'm better for it every
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: time you go through something dark and you can't see
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: your way out remember you've been planted not been buried
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: and when you come up.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I'm coming up.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I'm coming up. Brother right here on the come up.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I said brother right here on the come up. Is
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: there any sisters in here on the come up? Are
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: there any families in here on the come up? Are
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: there any preachers in here on the come up? You've
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: already been through hell, already been through high water, already
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: been planted, already.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Been in a dark place. But just because I'm in
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: a dark place, don't expect me to stay in a
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: dark place.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Brother, right here on the.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Write yourself a note. I have not been buried. I
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: have been planted.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: I may be underground, but I'm not buried.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: In this mess.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I'm planted in it. I'm planted in it. And if
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I'm planted in it, expect me to come back up again.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: And when I come back.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Up, you won't recognize me because I'm going to be
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: transformed by the experiences that I have endured.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Still to come. On the Potter's Touch.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: That's what happens in a praise service. When praises go up,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: blessings come down. You'll never get blessed until you learn
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: how to open your mouth and.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Give God the praise.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: And the more you praise him, the more he'll open
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: up the windows of heaven and pour you out.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Of blessings.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Christ came so that you may have life and have
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: it more abundantly.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: The mystery and the majesty is that you don't have
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: to work for this.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: God's provision is never limited.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Your river is dried up, but God said, I already
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: got a plan for you. I already have made provisions
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: for you.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Learn how you can receive all that God has in
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: store for you. For your gift of any size, you
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: will receive Feed What Feeds You on CD when you
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: visit our website or call 1-800-BISHOP-2. I'm going to bless.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: You according to your appetite.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Let me find somebody that's hungry for what I have
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: to give.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: And for your gift of $ 70 or more, you'll receive
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: abundant supply on DVD.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Whatever little bit you got, you need to use it
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: and let God open up the windows of heaven and
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: pour you out a blessing.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: However, when your gift is $ 125 or more, You will
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: receive Abundant Supply on DVD, a blessed mug, and no-card set.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: I refuse existence. I will not just exist. I will live.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: I didn't come to make you religious. I came to
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: make you alive.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Plentiful blessings await you today, and God will provide in
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Abundant Supply.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: One man plants. Another man water. God gives increase. What?
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: There's another way? There's another way you water us. In
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the event that there is no one available to water you.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: He that goeth forth and weepeth bearing precious seed shall
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: I wondered why I cried so long. I wondered why
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: so many nights I laid in the bed in the
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: fetal position with tears running across the bridge of my
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: nose and nobody was there to wipe my tears away.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: And the tears just fell down my face.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I cried so long that my poor sucked up my tears.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I didn't understand that God was using my tears.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: To water my dreams.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: And the more I cried, the more he watered my dreams.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: That's why he said, he that goeth forth and weepeth
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Bearing precious seed. When you are precious seed, you cry
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: more than other people do. When you are precious seed,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: you go through things that other people don't go through.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: When you are precious seed, you have to rock yourself
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: to sleep. When you are precious seed, you have to
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: cry without comfort. You have to wail without relief. And
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I thought if I preached this this morning, it would
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: make sense to you why you went through periods that
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: you cried so long that you cried out of tears
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: and you thought your tears were in vain. But the
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: book of Revelation said that God catches your.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Tears in a vial.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: And Psalm says it becomes the water for your dreams.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: So just because you didn't have a mama to do it,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: just because you didn't have a daddy to do it,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: just because your teachers didn't do it, if you ever
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: cried all night long, you watered your own seed. I
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: want everybody who's cried all night to just clap their
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: hands and thank God for water.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: He That goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Now see, some people don't want people who are bearing
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: precious seed. They can't deal with destiny concealed. They only
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: want destiny revealed. This is why some women only chase
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: married men. They want the finished product, but they don't
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: want the process. What they don't understand is there's something
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: about the watering process that makes it legitimately yours. Until
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: you've raised the acorn up to be an oak tree
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: You can't appreciate how tall it stands until you can.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Remember how low it started.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: But some people want to always step into something that
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: is always finished because they don't understand.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: The power of the process. It's good to be afflicted.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: It's good to have to worry how I'm going to
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: make it. It's good to have to scuffle your way up.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Because after you fought your way up, you don't have
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: to pay nobody back but.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Shake hands and say, I don't owe nobody but the Lord.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Watch this.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Watch this.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Sit down.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: Sit down.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I'm not through. Get that glass of water and bring
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: it down here. And just pour a little bit of
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: it on my hands. That's what Elijah was there to
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: do for Elijah was pour water on his hands. When
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: the Bible said he poured water on his hands, it
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: means that he was serving him. Doing menial tasks. He
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: was pouring water on the hands of the man of God.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: But what he didn't know is that while he was
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: pouring water on the man of God's hands, the man of.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: God was pouring water back on him.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, y'all don't hear what I'm saying here. That's what
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: the Bible meant when.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: It said, give and it shall be given to you again.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Good measure. Press down. Shake it together and run it over.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: There's no way you can serve me and me not
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: serve you. The more you give to me, the more
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: I give back to you.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Press down. shake it together.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Watch this watch this now what we're doing here we're
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: comparing waters he's giving me the water he has and
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: And I'm giving him the water that I have. This
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: is what happened at the well. Jesus says, you give
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: me your water and I'll give you mine. That's what
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: happens in a praise service. When praises go up, blessings
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: come down. You'll never get blessed until you learn how
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: to open your mouth and give.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: God the praise.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: And the more you pray them, the more he'll open
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: up the windows of heaven.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: And pour you out a blessing.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Let's pray them for what he's already done. Let's pray
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: them for who he is.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: In our lives.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Let's praise him because he watered the sea.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Thank you for my water. Some of it was people.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Some of it was opportunities. Some of it was tears.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: But God, I thank you for not leaving me like
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: I was.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Now I want to show you something.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: You don't reap with the same tool you sow with.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: When you are in the sowing stage, you carry different
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: tools to the garden than you do when you're in
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: the reaping stage. In the sowing stage, you're going to
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: need a shovel and a hoe because you got to
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: break up that hard ground. You got to deal with
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: those rows. You got to pull those weeds. And you
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: got to plant. In the harvest stage, you change your tools.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: So since I'm watering you, I need to tell you
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: that in order for God to give you the increase,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: you must change your tools.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: The tools for sowing is weeping.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Look at the text. He that goeth forth and weepeth.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: It's not enough to go forth. You got to weep too.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: He that goeth forth and weepeth. That weeping part is
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: a very important part of sowing. Bearing precious seed. Shall doubtless.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Doubtless.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I got to stop there.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Doubtless. Doubtless.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: You can't have no doubt. You can't have no doubts.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Let me say it correct because the professor is here.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: You can't have any doubts. Now, you can't have no doubts.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not talking about other people believing for you. You
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: got to believe this for yourself. You got to believe
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I can do this. I was created for this. I
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: was called for this. I was curved for this. I
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: was shaped for this. I was meant for this. You
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: got to be doubtless or you can't harvest. If you
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: got doubt, you'll never harvest. You'll see it, but you'll
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: never enter into it. You'll die like Moses looking at
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: a promised land you can't have. If you aren't doubtless,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: you can't possess it. So if you are going to
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: go into harvest, somebody shout, I believe it. It don't
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: matter to me that you don't believe it. Because your
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: unbelief does not make the word of God of no
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: effect in my life.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: God's not going to give it to me because you
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: believe it. God's going to give it to me because
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: I believe it. And even though everybody around me does
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: not believe it, if God be for me, who can
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: be against me? So stop trying to get other people
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: to believe in your dream.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: It is not their faith.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, wait a minute. I can't just have
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: the faith. Shall doubtless come again with, oh, with rejoicing.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Now God said, you might sow it in tears, but
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: you can only reap it with joy. Now I see
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: why the devil tries to make me miserable. Because as
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: long as I'm miserable, I cannot reap the best that
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: God has for me. So if I'm going to go
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: into harvest, I got to reach up and snatch me
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: some joy. Have you got some faith?
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Make some noise. If you've got some joy, give God
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: a praise.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Lord, I wish I had more time because there's so
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: much watering that needs to be done. You've got so
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: much potential. You've got so much power. I want you
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: to understand that when you start being water, water brings
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: trauma to the seed. It challenges it to burst out
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: of its norm. It's traumatic to grow. Growth is always traumatic.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: When babies are born, it's traumatic to be born. To
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: break out of your familiar is always trauma to the soul,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: but it's worth it.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: It's worth it, you hear me? It's worth it to get.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: To the next level. And I'll tell you something else
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: that's worth it, too. I want you to register for
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: the International Path to the Leadership Conference. TV doesn't do
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: it justice. Your friends can't even explain to you what
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: happens in this meeting. Because it's not just in the setting.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: It's in the workshops. It's in the conferences. It's in
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: the hallway. It's in people sitting down having dinner together
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: with other people who can feed them. Instead of surrounding
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: yourself with people who are draining you. What are we
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: going to do about this? What are we going to
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: do about that? You need some people who are giving
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: you ideas. Who are planting into you. Who are watering you.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Come on down April 30th through May the 2nd and
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: invest in your dream. You can't get a harvest from
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: something you don't invest in. Get out of that house.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Get away from your busyness so you can get on
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: with the business of building up the kingdom of God.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: God bless you. Think about it. Pray about it. And
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: have a good day while you're doing it. Take care.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Before I die in a cage, I want to run
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: in the wild.
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: To understand God.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: What it is to be a pastor.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: They can hear the life-changing message.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: And the education.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: You're frustrated about something that's just an incubator to take
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: you to the next dimension.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Now we're going to grow and go to global missions.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: No more limits, no more boundaries. To register for this
• 27:42

• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Shake your neighbor by the hand and say, neighbor, I
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: have an announcement. I cried my last tear yesterday.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: I'm going to rejoice and be glad.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: Shake them by the hand and say, oh, magnify the
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Lord with me.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: This is the potter's touch in me.
