  Speaker 1: The congregation was in flight. You ain't never seen such
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: flapping going on in a place in all of your life.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, big old long arms and short arms, little
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: old skinny arms.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: And fat arms.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Everything was just flapping in this place. That was an
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: outer sign of an inner conviction to rise to the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: height of your calling, spread your possibilities, and soar above
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: your adversities and fly like the eagle you were created
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to be. Look at your neighbor and say, I'm an eagle.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I'm an eagle.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: This is the part of time.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: From time to time, I hear people writing to me
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: or they'll hit me up on Twitter and they say,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I went through five years, it got wasted. I gave
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: 10 years into that relationship, it was wasted. I worked
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: for that company 20 years, it was wasted.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: You are wrong.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: This message says nothing that you've been through shall be wasted.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Stop mourning over where you've been and use it to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: get on with getting on with getting on to where
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: you're going. Nothing that you've been through shall be wasted.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: You can always tell when God stirs an ash. All
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: hell breaks loose. And like the little eaglet, when the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: nest first gets stirred, the little eaglet tries to sit
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: where it used to sit, and it has to jump up.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Tries to sit over again, and it has to jump up.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And it tries to sit again. Just because something doesn't
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: work in your life doesn't mean you're up under satanic attack.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say that again. Just because something doesn't
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: work in your life doesn't mean you're up under satanic attack.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: It could be possible that you're trying to rest in
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: where God used to be. Seeing yourself through the lens
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: of who you were will stop you from seeing yourself
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: through the lens of who God called you to be.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: And sometimes God has to stir the nest because the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: purpose of that person, place or thing in your life
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: has been completed. There's nothing more frustrating than trying to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: raise up something that God is trying to kill. Nothing
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: more frustrating than trying to be somebody that God is
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: trying to crucify. You have to have the liquidity of thought,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the liquidity of thought and the nimbleness of mind to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: transition from how you once saw yourself into where God
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: is calling you. If you saw yourself as a sedentary
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: eaglet sitting in a nest, enjoying the comfort of your nest,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: it's hard to see yourself soaring. After all, soaring is
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: more work requires more muscles, requires more effort. You expend
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: more energy. It's easier to lay back in your nest
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and say, feed me. Feed me. Love me. Love me.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Acknowledge me. Open doors for me. Make a way for me. Me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden the food stops. When the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: food stops, it's a sign for you to move on.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Mama's not dropping it in your mouth as good as
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I rebuke the powers of the devil. I come against it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Can't you see the little eaglets praying? I come against
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Satan's power in the name of Jesus. I come against it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I rebuke the powers and the principalities over this region.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Mama should have been here by now. I come against
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the Satan.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You delaying my blessing. You holding up my blessing. I
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: rebuke the power.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Where is Mama? Mama should have been here. I rebuke
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the power. The principalities are holding it back.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Prayed and prayed and prayed. What do you do when
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you pray and it doesn't work? When you rebuked it
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't stop. You find yourself, I'm hungry. The
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: food ain't coming in. Here comes the problems and the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: thorns are coming up. And I don't have the nourishment
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to rest in the place I used to be. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: don't have the grace to do it. I always knew
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: when something was over, I just didn't have the grace.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: To do it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: The grace. Grace will cover your eyes against what you're
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: going through and make it easier to manage because you
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: don't feel the weight of it. When you have the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: grace to do it. When you have the grace to
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: work two or three jobs. When you have the grace
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to do it. It doesn't bother you like it would
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: bother you because you got a grace to do it.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: You got a grace to put up with something that
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: other people couldn't put up with. You got the grace
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to do it. But when that grace stops and all
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: of a sudden you notice those thorns and thistles start
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: coming up. Now you got to move into another dimension.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Moses' thorns and thistles was the murdering of an Egyptian
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: man and his people knowing it and talking about it
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and rising up against him and not letting him forget
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: what he did, what he did. People will attack you.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: They will always bring up what you did. You have
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to live with what you did all your life. That's
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: why you ought to be careful what you do. That's good.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: That's a tweetable quote right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: that right there, that right there. Somebody say, that right there.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: They were bringing up what he did, and all of
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: a sudden he had to get out of the nest,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: leave the palace and the marble floors and the gold
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: columns and the big fans and the grapes being fed
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to him, wine being served to him, somebody to bathe him,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: somebody to teach him, somebody to train him, somebody to
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: take care of him. All of that shut down And
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: he escapes into the desert, a dry place, a barren place.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: And while running from his past, he runs into his purpose.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: While escaping how he was once defined, he now runs
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: into a new identity that he never had before. What
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: would the correct term for it is, is an epiphany
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: whereby you begin to have an awakening to something that
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: you didn't know a spiritual, an epiphany can be a
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: spiritual awakening whereby it changes the lens through which you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: see everything going forward. You don't have that every day.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: You don't have that every week. Just periodically in the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: space of your whole life, you have those spiritual awakenings
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that change, say, in his case, the next 40 years
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of his life was changed by one moment. One moment
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: changed the next 40 years of his life. A bad moment,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: an ego-stirring moment has placed him in the wilderness, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he doesn't know who he is. Now,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: this is a big deal because his identity has always
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: been a problem. He was a Hebrew boy. but he
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: didn't grow up with the Hebrews. He was a Hebrew
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: boy raised with the Egyptians. He was already up under
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: an identity crisis. He was too Hebrew to be Egyptian
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and too Egyptian to be Hebrew. I want to talk
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to people whose background is complicated. I want to talk
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to people whose resume is has to be censored.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Let me try them, they don't understand.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I want to talk to people who only tell half
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: your testimony. There are certain parts of your testimony that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: are available for human consumption. Look at somebody and say,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: but it's complicated. Let me just try something. Daddy was
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a good man, but it's complicated. Mama was a good mother,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: but it's complicated. I grew up a happy child. But
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: it's complicated. Whenever you hear people throw that but in there,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: there are some extenuating circumstances. It means I can tell
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you about this part. All in all, it was good,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: but there was some other stuff that I don't want
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: to bring up. But that other stuff helps to shape
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: who I am just as much as the good stuff helps. Oh, God,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: help me. And Moses was his own man. He was
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: strong and mighty. He'd been raised. he was strong, he
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: was powerful, he was educated, he was intellectual, he was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: respected in Egypt, but he wasn't really truly an Egyptian
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and though he was raised with them, he really wasn't
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: one of them and he was a Hebrew to a
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: degree and yes, he was a Hebrew, but it wasn't
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: like he could go hang out with the Hebrews because
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Hebrews didn't like him He had the smell of the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Egyptians on him. He got the nerve to have an
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Egyptian accent. Ooh, you don't talk like one of us.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: You talk like you an Egyptian. You know how people
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: will hear your speech and say you talk like the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: other people.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Still to come on The Potter's Touch.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: He had robes he couldn't wear.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Jewelry he didn't need, training in science that is totally
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: unusable in this environment because all information is not transferable
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: from one world into the next. You understand what I'm saying?
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: This is not that. So you cannot come over into
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: this and act like that and stay. If you're going
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to survive in this, you have to give up that
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: and become a student again.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Don't settle in your nest when you should be soaring.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: It's time to fly.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Every time I try to sit down with less than
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: what I was created to be, something sticks me and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I've got to get up and try again. There are
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: certain situations that God will make so unbearable that you
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: don't have to discern that it's time to go. It's
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: almost impossible to stay. What's wrong with you is all
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: those people who.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Knew you'd win.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Because if they knew you'd win, they'll hold you.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: To back then. I gotta go!
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Don't let the counterfeit experience of being good stop you
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: from the pursuit of greatness.
• 12:03

• 12:05

• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I love to hear married couples talk about how long
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: they've been married. We've been married for 50 years and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: people always clap. You know, they always clap, you know.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: They clap, you know, and they say they've been happily
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: married for 50 years. They're lying. Yes, I said it,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I said it. I'm in it and I'm here to
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: represent it. You ain't been happily nothing for 50 years.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Not for 50 years. No, not every day and every
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: week and every minute and every moment. For 50 years,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: you're telling us about the good part. You're not telling
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: us about the tough part. You're not telling us about
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: when she spent the money that she was saving up
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: for something else. You're not telling us about the extra
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: pocketbooks up under the bed and the shoes and y'all
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: fussing about that. You're not talking about that new secretary
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: he got and why she stand up looking you in
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the face like she looking at you. You're not talking
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: about he always spent all the money and he don't
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: take care of business. And you ain't talking about that
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: you married a mama's boy and you're sinking him over
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: your mama's house all the time. but y'all stuck it
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: out and you made it over and you saw, I
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: know you married people can't say nothing because you can't
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: blow your cover, but there's some divorced people in here
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: that have got my back.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Hey, you know what I'm talking about.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: It bothers me because if you buy that baloney that
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: people serve out, you'll.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Expect to see that in your life.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: And if it doesn't work like that for you, you'll
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: give up on it because you're expecting it to be
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: like what you saw on TV.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: But in real life, you got.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: To go through some ups and downs and some crooks
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and some crannies. And sometimes you stay together, but it's complicated.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: And you own the house, but it's complicated.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: They come in my house all the time. They say, oh,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: look at your house. You own this? I say, yeah,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: this month. I own it this month. Thank you. I
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: own it this month. So far, I own it right now. Oh,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: y'all don't hear.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying to you? I own it, but it's complicated.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I own it, but they got the notes. And now,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: as messed up and complicated as his life is, now
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: that's been messed up. Bad has gotten worse. That's why
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you gotta watch out about complaining about bad. Because it
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: was kind of complicated in the palace. It might have
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: been bad because on the inside he had some deficiencies
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and insecurities and areas where he didn't really feel like
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: he totally belonged, but he was eating good and he
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: was sleeping good and they was cleaning up the room
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: and washing his clothes and pressing his little undies and stuff.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: It was real good. It was good considering, you know,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: what all he'd been through. He had a little bad
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: stuff to kind of fight, but he was doing pretty good,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: and then bad got worse. And now the eagle has
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: stirred the nest, and he has to climb out of
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the nest and start running through the wilderness, running through.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Running through a wilderness he had never been in before.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: He didn't know nothing about survival techniques for the wilderness.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: He was raised in the palace. And there he is
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: out there in the wilderness trying to figure out now
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: which plant can you eat? Uh How do you get
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: water in the desert? He didn't know which cactus you
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: could suck the water out of. He had to figure
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: it all out because he was in a new place.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Has life ever put you in a new place? And
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: you don't know how to function in this new environment.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: And what was complicated has become a crisis. Now, he's
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: free from Pharaoh. Pharaoh is behind him, no problems there,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: got that straightened out. They're trying to kill him, he
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: escaped all that, got the victory.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Victory, victory, what am I eating?
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Have you ever had the victory in one place and
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: all hell breaking loose in.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: The other place?
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: And you could shout about this part over here. You
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: sure did beat that old Pharaoh out. But things, I
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: don't know what in the world I'm going to do here.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: A little situation coming up on the fifth. And he
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: was in the desert. And God left him in the
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: desert for 40 years. He wandered around out there and
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: ran into some Midianites and Jethro. And Jethro kind of
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: took him up under the wing and said, don't eat that,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: that'll kill you. Eat that right there, that right there.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: When you get hungry out there in the woods, you
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: eat that. You dig that up and suck the roots
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and get some moisture out of it. You'll be able...
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: to survive in that environment. He said, I didn't learn
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: that in all my schooling. They didn't teach me anything
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: about what root to suck water out of, how to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: guard myself against the heat of the sun, how to
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: survive in a dry place. I didn't know nothing about that.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: And he got her hanging around Jethro. Jethro said, I
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: got some work for you to do.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Work?
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: What is work? Do you not know, I've been raised
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: in a trade world house. We had people working for us.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden he's introduced to work. And
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: of all things to be introduced to do, I mean,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: he had robes he couldn't wear. jewelry he didn't need,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: training in science that is totally unusable in this environment
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: because all information is not transferable from one world into
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the next. You understand what I'm saying? This is not that.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: So you cannot come over into this and act like
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: that and stay. If you're going to survive in this,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: you have to give up that and become a student again.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: You can't be important out of your element. and walk
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: around with your chest stuck out just because you were
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: successful over there playing football don't make you a star
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: over here having church. Just because you're successful in church
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't make you successful at NASA. Anytime you step into
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: a new arena, you got to humble yourself.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: And become a student again.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: So he's over there walking around like the prince of Egypt,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: all important, and Jethro asked him to go out there
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: and shovel that sheep dung.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: And this is the test of pride. The test of pride.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Can you do what you gotta do where the Lord
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: has placed you to learn what you got to learn
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: so you can move from one level to the next
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: level to the next level. If you don't pass the test,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: you'll never complete the class. So you have to keep
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: taking it over and over and over again because you
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: didn't learn what you should have learned the first time.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Who am I preaching to? I'm talking to somebody right now.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Jethro told me, Moses to lead the sheep. Oh, smelly, dirty, stinky.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Sheep look good on them pictures and stuff, but I
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: was out in Jerusalem and I actually got to go
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: out there where the sheep were. See, when you see
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: them in the picture, you can't smell the picture and stuff,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: but when you actually go out there where the sheep are, mm-hmm. Yes,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: it'll make you carry some Glade and some Lysol and
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: some Pinesol. And you know how white they are in
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the pictures and stuff?
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: That's photo enhancement.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: It's a kind of, it's not odor, it's odor.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: It's odor.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: This is a French term. Yes, indeed.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: They said bottle this with insecticide or something. I know
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: they don't have to worry about mosquitoes. Nothing would want
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: to bite, nothing would smell like that. And he's in
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: this environment. And I know, I know the enemy must
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: have been saying, where is your God now? You out here,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I thought you had a mighty destiny. Your mama called
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: you Moses for being drawn out. I thought there was
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: a king and a mighty man and a general in
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: you and all you going through is survival techniques for
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: a desert you don't even, you didn't even come up in.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Look at you running around here. You the king of
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: of the sheep.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Every so often you'll go through a period in your
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: life that seems like all of your real skills are
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: being wasted. It will feel like you're not being used
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: to your highest potential. It will feel like you're living
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: beneath your privilege. And if you're not careful, you will
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: secretly see yourself as a failure. Because you don't see
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: yourself operating in the way that you dreamed that you would.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: And he's just running around there saying, at least he
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: didn't kill me. And at least I escaped Egypt. And
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I'm making the best of a bad situation. And all
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, he has an epiphany. Just walks up
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: on it. Wasn't fasting for it, wasn't praying for it.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Wasn't talking in tongues. Just walked up on it. Didn't
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: even be expected. Just blew his mind. You know, God
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: is a master of suddenly. I'm going to say that again. See,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: if you understand that God is the master of suddenly.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: That means sometimes your life will take a turn you
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: never even saw coming. It won't be no gradual progress,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: no evolution that leads to a revolution. It'll be suddenly, straightway, immediately,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: out of nowhere, one phone call, one meeting, one person,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: one time, one job, and.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Your whole life!
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Everything about the next 40 years is about to change.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Thank you for allowing me to just interject
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: a thought or two, and we'll continue right after this.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Don't settle in your nest when you should be soaring.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: It's time to fly.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Every time I try to sit down with less than
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: what I was created to be, something sticks me and
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I gotta get up and try again. There are certain
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: situations that God will make so unbearable that you don't
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: have to discern that it's time to go.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: It's almost impossible to stay.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with you is all those people who knew
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: you'd win.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Because if they knew you'd win.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: They'll hold you to back then.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I gotta go!
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Don't let the counterfeit experience of being good stop you
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: from the pursuit of greatness.
• 26:29
