SHOW ME YOUR GLORY Bishop T.D. Jakeas · Pst T.D Jakes -The POTTER'S HOUSE

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going to start in the King. I'm going to
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: read out of the King James version at the beginning
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: of the 18th verse. And it says, and he said,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I beseech thee, show me thy glory. This is Moses
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: talking to God. And he said, I will make God
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: is now talking back to him. They're having a conversation.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: And he said, I will make all my goodness pass
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: before thee. Can you imagine that? I'm going to make
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: all my goodness pass before thee. And I will proclaim
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the name of the Lord before thee and will be
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: gracious to whom I will be gracious. And see what
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: you have to understand if you read the whole chapter,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Moses is trying to figure out God's name because God
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: has only told him that I am that I am.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: And he says, I want to know you. I want
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to have a deeper relationship. You have known me. I
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: want to know you. So the Lord says, I will
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: proclaim the name of the Lord before thee and will
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: be gracious to whom I will be gracious. I'm going
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to say that again because a lot of people don't
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: understand that. God makes up his own mind who he
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: chooses to bless. God will be gracious to whom I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: will be gracious and will show mercy on whom I
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: will show mercy. Get out of my business. That's my business.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Leave that up to me. I choose. I decide. I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: make the rules. Am I not the potter and you
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the clay? God is saying, I do what I want
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to do. If God gets ready to bless you, let
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: him bless you. Sometimes it's not the haters. Sometimes it's you.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: That's standing in the way of your own blessing because
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: you don't feel worthy or you don't feel capable or
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you don't feel confident. God says, I will show mercy
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to whom I will show mercy. I will give grace
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to whom I will give grace. God will grace you
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: to do things that you couldn't do on your own.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: You just got the grace to do it. Anybody else
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: able to fell out, but you got the grace to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: do it. Are you hearing what I'm saying? And he said,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: thou canst not see my face, for there shall no
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: man see me and live. And the Lord said, behold,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: there is, now this is what I want you to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: really zoom in. And the Lord said, behold, there is
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a place by me. And thou shall stand upon a rock.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Good God of mercy. And it shall come to pass
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: while my glory passes by that I will put thee
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in a cleft, in the cleft of the rock and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: will cover thee with my hand while I pass by.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Glory to God. He's talking to you. And I will
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: take away my hand and thou shall see my back parts,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: my afterglow that we're going to get into that a
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: little bit more. But my face shall not be seen.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Can you say amen? Amen. Remain standing with me for
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a minute. I want to talk about close proximity. Close proximity.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: No longer afar off, no longer at a distance, but
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: close proximity. Let's pray while we're standing. Spirit of the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: living God, fall fresh. Anoint these lips of clay that
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: they may be endowed with what is necessary to declare
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the word of God so clearly and succinctly that the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: children understand it as well as the oldest amongst us.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: From the illiterate to the most profound, educated person in
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the room, let the word of God hit everybody. And
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: everybody come into an awareness of what you're able to
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: do and speaking to them in your own language and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: in a way that they can understand it. Make it plain.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Make it clear. Make it relevant. Make it life-reforming. Make
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: it life-changing. Make it thirst-quenching, mind-renewing. Come on in, Holy Spirit,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and do what you want to do as we came
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: here to see you. We came here to be with you.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: We came here because we want to know you. We
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: came here because we want to sense you. We came
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: here because we want to be filled with you. We
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: came here because we want your glory to live with us.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: And by the way, when we get in the car,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: would you get in the car with us? Would you
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: get in the car with us and if we go
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to the house, would you go to the house with
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: us and when we lay down, would you lay down
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: with us? When we rise, would you rise with us?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Would you cover us with your blood? In Jesus' name
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: we pray. Somebody shout amen. Shout amen again. You can
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: sit the rest of the day if you want. Let's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: go to work. Y'all got people all over the country
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: saying that to me. I go places to speak, and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: they say, let's go to work. I was with Stephen
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Furtick the other day, and they were hollering, let's go
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to work. I think you're more famous than I am,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and let's go to work. So let's go to work.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: We're stepping in the middle of the journey with Moses
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and his experience with the Hebrew children. Moses has had
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: an encounter where he's been raised in the house of
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Pharaoh for about 40 years. And then he has run
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: out of the house of Pharaoh because he has killed
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: an Egyptian for fighting against a Hebrew. And he spends
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: 40 years in exile. In Jethro's house, in the wilderness,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: in the wilderness, he will later work in. God will
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: expose you to an area that you will later work in.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: And the Lord shows himself strong and the Lord shows
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: himself mighty. And the Lord reveals himself after a period
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: of time. After about 40 years, God appears unto him
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: in a burning bush. And he has an encounter with
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: God unlike anybody else in the Bible. Moses has a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: face-to-face encounter with God. He has an experience with God
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that is so profound that he turned aside to see.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Not that the bush was burning, but that the bush
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: was burning and not consumed. A sign of the presence
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: of God is when you're in the middle of something
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that should consume you. And yet it doesn't consume you
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and people have to turn aside to see because they
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: thought you'd be dead by now. Now, I don't know
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: who I'm talking to, but they expected your bush to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: burn up by now. But God's presence is so strongly
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: amidst you that your sign is your survival. Your sign
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: is your survival. Your sign is your survival. That's your testimony.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: That's your pulpit. That's your stage. That's your ministry. You've
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: been asking God, what is my purpose? What is my ministry?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: You don't understand that God is proving himself to And
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: speaking through the fact that you went through that kind
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: of fire and you're still standing tall. And all you
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: got to do is stand there and grin. And if
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you just stand there and grin, you've already testified. You've
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: already declared. You should have burnt up by now. Test
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: somebody and say, you should have burnt up by now.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: But you're still here. And God is speaking to me
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: by your survival. God is speaking to me because you're
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: in a dry place, but you're still able to withstand.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: God is showing himself strong in my life. Can you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: say amen? And then Moses is sent down to Pharaoh,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to Egypt, to really confront the people he was running from.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: God will make a U-turn in your life. And send
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you back to Egypt where he was running from and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: he comes down there and he comes down there with
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: signs and wonders. He learned in the wilderness. Let me
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: say this real quick. You learn more about God in
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the wilderness than you do in the palace. Almost everything
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: important that I ever learned about God, I learned about
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: it in a dry place. I learned about it in
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a place of discomfort. I learned about it in a
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: place of trouble. Everything valuable, everything sustainable, everything that defined
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: me didn't come when I was on the mountaintop. It
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: came when I was in the valley. Didn't come when
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I was dancing. It came when my joy was dried up.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Didn't come when I was skipping all over the house.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: It came when I was going through hard times and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the enemy was expecting me to die. And then all
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, God raised me up from the dead
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to God be the glory that raises. He said, I
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: am the God that raises the dead. I am the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: resurrection and the life. He that believeth on me, though
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: he were dead, yet shall he live. I feel something already.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to be cool, but I'm already fired up. Moses,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: this is Moses' first real encounter with God where he
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: visually confronts him. But God's hand has been over him
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: all his life. God's hand's been over him all his life.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: While his mother hid him, God's hand was over him.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: While he was floating in the Nile, God's hand was
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: over him. While he was raised in the Pharaoh's house,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: God's hand was over him and he didn't even know it.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Do you know that sometimes God's hand can be over
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: your life and you don't even know it? You're not
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: even aware of it. Moses is now 80 years old
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and then he has a face-to-face encounter with a God
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: who's been ordering his steps. All his life. A God
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: who kept him from dying. A God who kept him
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: from crib death. A God who kept him from illness.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: A God who kept him from sickness. You didn't get
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: here by yourself. God kept you. It wasn't that you
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: were slick. It wasn't that you were smart. It wasn't
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that you were cool. It wasn't that your parents were great.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: It wasn't that a rich uncle died. God has been
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: watching over you all of your life. Even when you
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: weren't thinking about him, even when you weren't serving him,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: God has been watching over you all of your life.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: You just didn't know it. And then all of a sudden, Shazam,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: he reveals himself. He shows himself. He appears, but he
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: was there all the time. I said he was there
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: all the time. The omnipresence of God was there all
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the time. The manifest presence of God, you can figure
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: out when he manifests, but he was there before he
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: was manifest. He was there all the time. He was
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: there when you were sick. He was there when you
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: were failing. He was there when you were dying. He
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: was there when you were in sin. He was there
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: when you were in trouble. He was there all the time.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: He was there when the gun was about to go off.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: He was there in the car wreck. He was there
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: in the storm. He was there in the crisis. And
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden he manifests himself and said,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I was there all the time. If you have an
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: experience with God where God ever manifests himself in your life,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: you will never be the same again. You will never
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: be the same again. You will never be the same again. Now,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know about crack because I never did crack
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: because I was scared of crack. I heard about it.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: It's true. I was saved anyway. And it wasn't no
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: need of me doing something They said if you do
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: it one time, you keep trying to get the high
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: every time after that. Once you have encountered God, just
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: taste and see that the Lord is good. You'll get
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: hooked on him. You'll get hooked on him. One good
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: hit of the Holy Ghost. One good dose of the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Spirit of God. One good toke of the presence of God.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Just one hit. Just one hit. If you ever get
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: a real hit, I'm not talking about a hit of church.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about a hit of the bishop. I'm
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: not talking about a hit of the pastor. I'm talking
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: about a hit of God. Once he gets in you,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: once he touches your life, you will never be the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: same again. You'll always remember that feeling. You'll always want
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that feeling. I was talking to a group of pastors.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with the church today? We've got church people,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: but they're not God's people. We need more people who
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: go beyond church to have an encounter with God. I
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: mean an old-fashioned encounter, the kind you don't see much anymore.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I don't care about what you're wearing, what you got on,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and what you look like, and the songs you sing,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and all the stuff that we argue about. I'm talking
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: about a real encounter with God. The kind of encounter
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: with God that gets in the car with you, that
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: goes home with you, that gets down in your heart,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: that never leaves you, never gets away from you. Even
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: though you try to go back and be who you were,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you're never the same again because you're haunted by the
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: fact that he put it, oh, oh, oh, oh, somebody
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: touch me. Oh, oh, oh, oh, somebody touched me. It
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: must have been the hand of the Lord. If he
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: ever touched you like that, make some noise in this house.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Now Moses who encountered God in the wilderness is now
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: bringing the Hebrew children to the place where he encountered God.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: You cannot meet people where you have not been. I'm
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: going to say that again for the people in the back.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: You cannot lead people where you have not been. It
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: was important that he go into the desert first because
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: he was sent to lead them through the desert. And
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: sometimes God will take you through things ahead of time.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: So that you can help everybody else get through stuff
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: that they couldn't get through. And you know how to
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: not lose your mind. You know how to survive a
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: divorce and take a licking and keep on ticking. You
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: know how to bury a parent and a loved one
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and still live and thrive and go forward. And God
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: will use your pain for his peace. your problem for
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: his providence. God will show himself strong in your life.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor and say, I serve a strong God.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: He's not just strong in the palace. He's strong in
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the desert. He's strong in the dry places. He's strong
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: when you don't have a job. He's strong when they
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: took your car. He's strong when you don't have a
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: place to stay. He's strong when you've been rejected. He's
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: strong when you weren't raised right. he's strong when you've
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: been abused he's strong when your heart's been broken he's
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: strong when you want to crawl up in a hole
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: and die and you think you're going to die but
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: because God is resident in your life you can survive
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: stuff you thought you couldn't survive I'm telling you what
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I know because I went through the desert first now
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: he is leading the children of Israel the Hebrew children
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Through the desert. Yeah, I see it now. Excuse me
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: a minute here. We got a little technical difficulty. He's
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: leading them through the desert, a place that they have
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: never been to before, but he knows the way because
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: he's been there first. He knows the way. I don't
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: want anybody leading me who's never had a hard time. Amen.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I don't want anybody leading me who never climbed out
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: of a ditch. I don't want anybody leading me who
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't have a level of blessing and prosperity and anointing
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: on their life because you cannot lead people where you
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: have not been yourself. Give me more power. Come on, somebody.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I want a leader to go first. Some of the
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: things you're going through right now, you think it's the devil. No,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: it's God getting you ready. You're in the G-O-D university
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: and God is equipping you to withstand people talking about you,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: to withstand hard times, to withstand test and trial. This
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Moses has equipped now with a power. He meets God
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: leading sheep the first time. The second time he encounters
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: God leading people. So God will give you something to
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: practice on before he gives you the real thing. Everything
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: about your history is a clue to your destiny. God's
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: going to use everything that you went through, everything that
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you encountered to prepare your heart for what he's going
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: to do next. It started out with sheep. It ended
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: up with people. It's same thing with David. It started
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: out with sheep. It ended up with people. And God
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: used that to reveal himself. That's why David said, the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Lord is my shepherd. Because God knows how to speak
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: in a language that you can relate to based on
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the things you've been through to manifest his presence as
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: opposed to omnipresence. Omnipresence means God is there all the time.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: It doesn't come and go. Lo, I'm with you always.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: But manifest presence is when he shows up in your
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: life and you know it's God and you know he's
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: there and you're aware of his presence. Now, this is
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the time in our text that Moses is having a
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: conversation with God that has been enriched because of his
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: experience with God. Your conversation with God is enriched by
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: your experience with God. You cannot have a great conversation
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and a poor experience. He's having a conversation with God
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and he's having a conversation with God at a time
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: that he has led the hard-headed stiff-necked, God called him stiff-necked,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Hebrews out of Egypt. Stiff neck because God has sent
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: frogs and he sent lice and he sent all kinds
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: of animals, turned the water to blood. He sent locusts
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: all to deliver them. And then when they finally get
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: a chance to really praise and worship him, they worship
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: the gold of the Egyptians more than they do God.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: And they have been stripped naked And Moses finds them
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: dancing naked around the calf. And the problem with that
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: is they broke the law before they ever got it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Y'all didn't get that. Let me say it again. They
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: broke the law before they ever got it. Thou shall
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: have no other God before me was broken when they
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: first got the law. It was already broken. So when
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Moses drops the tablets of stone, it's just an outward
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: sign of an inward situation. It was already broken. By
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the law shall no flesh be saved. It's impossible to
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: be saved by something that you broke before you ever
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: got it. You're going 120 miles an hour down the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: highway and then you get a sign that says 70 miles.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: You're already guilty. Ain't no need in arguing about it.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: You broke the law before you ever got it. So
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: when the police stop you, ain't no need in you
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: talking about, I don't know. Ignorance of the law doesn't
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: mean that you don't have to pay for the law.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: They had broke the law before they ever got it.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: So the only chance they had of having an encounter
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: with God It's the grace of God. Somebody holler the
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: grace of God. The law can't save me because it's
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: already broken. So I need the grace of God because
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I was doing 120 when I saw the sign. I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: was born in sin. I was shaping in iniquity. I
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: had already blown it before I ever got it. I
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: was a sinner and a wretch undone before I ever
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: committed an act. You running around with your nose up
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: in the air talking about what you ain't done. It
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: don't matter whether you did it or not. If you're
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: guilty of the part, you're guilty of the whole. You
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: need to fall on the mercy of the court and
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: ask for the mercy of God. For without God's mercy,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: you don't have a conversation with him. Mercy gave me
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: a conversation with God. God's frustration with the people that
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: he's leading. And I love this because God is acting human.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: The people have gotten on his last nerve. It's almost
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: a theophonic manifestation of Christ because he acts human in
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: the fact they've gotten on his nerves and God has
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: told Moses, okay, I'll deliver you into the promised land,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to send an angel with you. I'm
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: not going with you because I'm sick of you. You're
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: stiff neck, you're dancing naked around the calf. Come on,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: come on, don't act like, don't make me prophesy in here.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: God said, I'm sick of you, I'm not going with you,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to keep my word and send an angel.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Anybody else would have been satisfied to have an angel.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: But we enter into Moses having a conversation with God
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: that is a privileged conversation where he litigates with God.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Moses literally argues with God. At one point, they argue
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: about whose people they are. God says, they're your people.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Moses says, they're your people. God says, they're your people.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Moses says, they're your people. They're going back and forth. Moses,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: other prophets have I spoke to through dreams and vision,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: but of my servant Moses, I speak to face to face.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Stop imitating people because some people have a grace to
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: do things that you can't do. They have a grace
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: to say things that you can't say. They have a
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: grace to endure stuff that you can't endure. Moses had
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the grace to be able to talk to God on
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: another level. Are you following me so far? I'm just
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: laying foundation. I haven't even got to the point yet.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Moses doesn't just pray, he litigates with God. His personal
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: burning bushes experience has heightened his value that he wants
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: close proximity with God. He doesn't want the promise of
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: God without proximity to God. He's hooked on the crack
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: of God's presence. He's not just trying to get the stuff.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: God said, I'm going to give you the land that
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: flows with milk and honey. He said, that's cool. But
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: if you're not going, I don't want to go. Oh,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: y'all don't hear what I'm saying. Moses up there arguing
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: with God. He said, I'm glad about all that milk
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and honey and stuff. But I didn't come through all
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: of this just to get some milk and honey and
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: some land from the Canaanites. I want you to go
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: with me. And if you don't go, I don't want
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: to go. I want to experience the intimacy that I
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: first experienced with you. I want the presence I felt
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: in the bush. Perhaps an angel would do for them,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: but not for me. I want you to be with
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: me every step of the way. Once you've stood barefoot
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: in the presence of God, it changes what you will
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: settle for. Amen. I never will forget we were having
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: a woman hour at Luke's conference years ago, and we
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: actually started the budget by the time we raised the
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: first offering. The budget was already met. And I came
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: in my room, and I went over in the corner,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: and I had tears in my eyes because there was
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: no glory in the service. And I said, Lord, I
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: don't want it without the glory. If you're not going,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I don't want to have it. I don't want to
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: be anywhere that you are not. I stopped going after
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: God's stuff. and start going after God's presence. Stop going
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: after God's stuff, prodigal son, and start going after God's presence.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: The problem with the prodigal son, he wanted his father's stuff,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: but he didn't want his father's presence. You gonna run
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: out of stuff, But you'll never run out of glory.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: You'll never run out of glory. You'll never run out
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: of glory. You'll never run out. Do you hear me?
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: You'll never run out of glory. If you make your
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: bed in hell, he's there. If you take the wings
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: of the morning and ascend to the uttermost parts of
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the earth, he's still there. You'll never run out of glory.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: The witches will try to hex you, but you'll still
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: have glory. The warlocks will come against you, but you'll
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: still have glory. You'll go through hard times, but you'll
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: still have glory. You'll go through grief, but you'll still
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: have glory because glory is stronger than grief. Y'all didn't
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: hear me. Let me tell y'all. Glory is stronger than grief.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Glory is stronger than your feelings. Glory is stronger than
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: your childhood. Glory is stronger than your emotion. Moses said,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: if you're not going, I don't want to go. He
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: is not litigating from a position of strength. He's litigating
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: from a place of failure. The people have already, they're
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: down there dancing naked around the calf so they don't
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: look good. The true believer longs not for blessings or
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: angels or promises, but for God himself. I came here
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: to meet God. I came here this morning to have
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: a meeting with God. I came here to throw myself
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: on the mercy of the court and have an encounter
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: with God. And I won't let you go till you
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: bless my soul. I won't leave till you bless me.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: For many, the angel would have been enough, a divine
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: helper to go along the way as long as they
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: got the blessing and they got the land that had
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: been satisfied. Victory over their enemies sounds pretty good, but
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: not for Moses. Moses wants nothing but the presence of
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: God himself. He knew the difference between God's gift and
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: God's glory. Why are you here? Just to get you
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: through a bad time in your life? Or do you
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: really want God's glory? When you rush down to the altar,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: do you rush down to the altar because you got
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: on a new dress? Or do you rush down to
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the altar because you really want God's glory? Is there
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: anybody left in the church that'll lay on their face
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: and say, I want the glory of God? Imagine being
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: married to someone or working for someone or working with
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: someone who only sends you gifts and letters but never
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: shows up. That's not intimacy. That's not intimacy. Moses wanted
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: more than blessings. He wanted close proximity. He wanted God's presence,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: not his presence. To see God, to know him, and
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: to live in his presence was what he wanted. Beware
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: of people who only want your stuff. Whatever that stuff is.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: If they don't want you, beware of people who don't
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: know how to give themselves. And you empaths have the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: tendency to try to make people be something that they're not.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I should say we in past. You try to be
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: something that they're not. But some people don't know how
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: to give themselves. One, because they don't value themselves. They
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: don't see their presence important enough to give their presence
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: to you. Two, nobody ever gave themselves to them. So
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: they never learned the language of giving themselves to anybody.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: So forgive your mama. She gave you what she had.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: She gave you what her mama gave her. Forgive your daddy.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: He gave you what he had. He gave you what
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: his daddy gave him. It takes something for you to
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: give yourself, to be vulnerable enough, to love somebody who
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: is dancing around another calf. Y'all didn't hear what I said.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: To love somebody who's dancing around another calf. Somebody, this
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: is the crisis of distance. And God says, I'm not
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: going up with you lest I consume you along the way.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: He said, you don't want me to go with you.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I'll burn you up. They're arguing back and forth. Sin
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: separates us from God's manifest presence. Israel's idolatry threatened the
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: closeness that they once had at Sinai with God's glory
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: descended falling on them. They were in trouble. God said,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: you don't want me to go because you're too crazy.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: What I love about it is the amazing relationship that
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Moses has with God. That he can really talk to
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: God and they're arguing back and forth and God can
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: really talk to him. And no wonder Moses has a
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: special place with God. That God allows him to debate him.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: To discuss with him. That God uses his rod to heal,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: to deliver people. to turn bitter water sweet, to bring
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: water out of rock. God did all of that. Angels
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: are no substitute for God. A lot of times we
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: fall in love with the messenger more than we do
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: the message. Moses knew that angelic presence cannot compare with
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: intimate fellowship. And a lot of you know it, but
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: you don't know how to give it and you don't
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: know how to receive it and you're not doing anything
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: to fix it. Because you can't stand the vulnerability of
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: putting yourself out there. Yet you will get naked for
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: a calf. Not realizing that the calf is made of
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: your own efforts, you keep working harder and harder to
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: melt more and more gold, to get more and more stuff,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: and still feeling empty and wondering why you're empty. You
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: don't have close proximity with God. In thy presence, there
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: is fullness of joy. And at thy right hand, there
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: are pleasures forevermore. I don't care how much stuff you got.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: You can have as much stuff as Elon Musk. But
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: if you don't have God, it doesn't mean anything at all.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: You can understand galaxies and move mountains. You can do
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: anything you want to do, but if you don't have God,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: you don't have anything at all. I wish I had
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: some people that treasured the presence of God, that really
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: treasured the presence of God. I wish we had a
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: church that we didn't have to have. I'm glad for
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: all these singers we got and all these musicians and
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: all of their talent, but I wish we had a
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: church that could have church with a washboard And a
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: pot and a spoon. I wish we had some people
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: that you didn't have to have a good voice in
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: order to move the glory of God. I wish we
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: had a people that we wouldn't have to talk into
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: praising God. I wish we had a people that would
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: enter into his gates with peace giving. and his courts
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: with praise. I wish we had a people that would
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: lay prostrate in the floor while somebody runs and jumps
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: across them, and the other person is dancing, and the
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: other person is crying. I'm talking about real worship hitting
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: the house. It doesn't look the same on everybody. One
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: person is laying out in the floor. Somebody else is
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: jumping up and down. Come on, somebody. You need all
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: this technology. You need a touch from God. Do you
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: remember when we had less stuff, we had more glory?
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Bring back the glory. Bring back the glory. Bring back
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: the glory. I'm tired of the stuff. Bring back the glory.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I don't need another smoke machine. I don't need another
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: flying angel in the air. I need the glory of
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: the Lord. For the kind of demons you're fighting, you
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: need the glory of the Lord. You need a touch
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: from God. You need a moving of the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Moses said to God, show me your glory. Throw your
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: hands up and say, show me your glory. Show me
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: your glory. I want to see your glory. I want
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: it in my house. I want it in my kitchen.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I want it while I'm doing my dishes. I want
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: it while I'm driving down the street. Show me your
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: glory till I get my mind back, till I get
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: my strength back, till I get my courage back. All
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: you want is therapy. You keep getting more and more therapy. Good.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I'm glad for therapy. Now let's get some glory. You've
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: had all kinds of therapy. Now you need some glory. Hallelujah.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Before we had therapy, we had glory. You get down
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: on your knees and start calling on Jesus. And when
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost got through rolling you around on the floor,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: you get up and say, I looked at my hands
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: and my hands look new. I looked at my feet
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: and they did. I started to walk and I had
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: A new walk. I started to talk and I had
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: a new talk. You don't get that from talking to people.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: You get that from talking to God. Everybody's a therapist.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Everybody on the internet's a therapist. All of them telling
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: you something different. Close up your phone and open up
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: your heart and let the Holy Ghost touch you where
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: you need to be touched. Make some noise in this house.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Zion! Zion! What's the matter now? Zion!
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I laugh at preachers who come up to me and say,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: what are you reading? I do read. Whose book are
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: you reading? I do read books sometimes. But most of
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: the time, my word comes from God. It comes from communion.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: You're used to getting stuff out of books. You need
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: to get things off your knees. It's not what your
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: eyes read. It's what your knees revealed unto you. All
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: them theologians are guessing. I'm tired of preaching dead men's sermons.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I want to preach a living word from a living
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: God that woke me up and spoke to me at
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: three o'clock in the morning and.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Said, you're still mine, God. God, I feel you. God,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: I feel you.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Somebody take 30 seconds and praise him. I feel glory
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: coming in now. I feel glory coming in the house.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I feel glory coming in the house. The Hebrew word
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: for glory is kabod. It means to have weight or
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: to have substance. We have people now that have no
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: substance because they have no glory. Glory has weight to it. Kabod,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: it has substance. The weight of glory is how it's
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: said in the New Testament. The weight of glory. Glory
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: brings weight. Glory attracts demons. Glory brings you, puts you
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: on the hit list. Glory gets you attacked. Glory, they
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: try to assassinate you. But if you got kavod, there's
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: a weight of glory. When it settles on you, it'll
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: rest on you, and it'll take several priests to hold
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: it up. Not one priest can hold up the glory
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: by himself. They got to get it on their shoulders.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: They got to carry it on their back. It took
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: several people People to carry the glory of God. I
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: need some help in here. I need some people to
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: help me carry this kabod. This glory is coming. The
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: glory is coming. All hell is breaking loose. People act
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: like they lost their minds. The laws are changing. They're
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: burning people up. People are drowning everywhere. We need kabod.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: We need a weight of glory. We need a real glory.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: A demon chasing glory. A glory that'll catch these kids
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: that are drowning. A glory that will stop these fires.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: A glory that will put out these earthquakes. We need kabod, kabod, kabod, kabod, kabod.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: You're not going to get that laying on a couch.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: You're going to get that laying on your face before God.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Somebody say kabod. I want kabod. I want kabod. I
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: want kabod. I want glory. I want glory. I want glory.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: I want glory. I want glory. This is what he's
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: longing for. David said, my soul thirsts for God. My
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: soul is thirsting for God, for the living God. I'm
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: thirsting for the living God. When shall I come and
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: appear before God? I am thirsty. for God. Is there
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: anybody in here that's willing to admit I'm thirsting for God?
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Have you ever been drinking a whole lot of stuff,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: but you really needed water? and all that sweet stuff,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: and all that Kool-Aid, and all them Pepsis, and all
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: them Coke. When you really get thirsty, there is a
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: thirst that only water can quench. Jesus said, if you
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: knew who I was, you would be asking me for water.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I'm the thirst quencher. I will put it out. I
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: will put it out. I will put it out. If
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: you just thirst for me, I want to see you
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: dance for me like you danced around the golden calf. Hallelujah.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, I'm getting ready to dance before God
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of dancing before naked calves and melted earrings
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: and melted bracelets I'm getting ready to dance before God
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: the only way I can make it through this wilderness
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: is to dance before God can I preach I said,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: can I preach? I said, can I preach? Do you
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: mind if I preach this morning? Do you mind if
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I preach this morning?
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: I feel something in the house.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Can I preach this morning? Now to my point. God
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: responds to his hunger with a statement. And it is
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: that statement that I want to deal with. When Moses says,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not going without you. Ain't no need in fussing.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Ain't no need in arguing. I am not going without you.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: I am used to an encounter with you. I need
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: you in my life. Then God tells him a secret
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: because the secret of the Lord is with them that
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: fear him and he shall show them his covenant. And
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: so God says to him, and it doesn't sound strong
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: to you, but you have to understand how old Moses
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: is and how long he's lived without a manifestation of God.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: And now he finally gets in God's presence and God
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: says to him, there is a place beside me. What? What?
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: There is a place beside There is a place, there
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: is a vacancy. There's an opening. There's an opportunity. God
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: says there is a place beside me. He had never
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: told anybody that there is a place beside me. Nobody's
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: ever dug deep enough, argued hard enough, cried long enough,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: laid flat enough to find out the secret. God says,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: there is a place beside me. The Bible said in
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: another verse, the eyes of the Lord go to and
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: fro throughout the earth looking for someone he can show
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: himself strong to. There is a place beside me. God said,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: I'm looking for somebody. Is it you? Is it you?
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Is it you? Is it you? Is it you? Is
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: it you? Is it you? I'm looking for somebody that
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: wants to be in that place. There is a place
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: beside me. You mean there's a place beside you? That
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: I got a million people and none of them have hit?
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: You mean they danced around a golden calf and missed
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: the place? You mean there's a place prepared for me?
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: This matches up with the scripture, I go to prepare
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: a place for you. That where I am, there ye
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: may be also. There's a place. There's a place. There's
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: a place beside me. All these churches and all these
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: steeples and all this stained glass window and still God
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: is saying, there's a place beside me. And he says,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: go and stand in the cleft of the rock. In
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: the opening of the rock. In the broken place in
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: the rock. A broken man comes to a broken rock
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: to see God. Because God has made an opening in
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: the rock. And God says, if you'll come as cracked
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: as you are, as confused as you are, as troubled
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: as you are. He said, I created a crack in
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: the rock. And if you come and get in the rock,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: I'll cost all of my goodness. All of my goodness.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: I'll cause all of my goodness. If y'all believe that,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: you go absolutely crazy. God said, I'll cause all of
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: my goodness. Not some of it, not half of it,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: not a third of it, not a quarter of it.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: God said, I'll cause all of my goodness. I'll cause
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: everything you've been trying to make happen on your own.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: God said, I'll make it pass by you. If you
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: get in the cleft of the rock, if you hide
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: yourself over in the cleft of the rock and stop
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: trying to do it yourself, If you get in the
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: cleft of the rock, I'll cause, oh my goodness. So
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Moses comes to stand on the rock. This rock is Jesus.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: This rock is Jesus. Through this rock he can see
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: the Father. He can see God. The rock is Jesus.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: It is a safe ground so that I can see
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: God without being consumed by his glory. This rock is
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: a star of the Old Testament. Moses stands on the rock. Later,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: he will strike the rock and the rock will bring
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: forth water and follow them forward. through the wilderness. Later
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: he will speak to the rock and the rock will
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: gush with water and it all has to do with rocks.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Later on they'll get into a fight with the Amalekites
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: and Moses will sit on the rock. Let's shout it out.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: It's not about Jesus sitting on you. It's about you
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: sitting on him. It's about you getting in a place
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: where you settle down and sit on him. And all
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: through the Old Testament, you keep seeing the rock. Goliath
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: shows up and David gets ready to kill him, not
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: with a sword, but he brings him down with a rock.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Touch three people and say, I need a rock. I
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: need a rock. Give me a rock. Give me a rock. Rock, rock, rock, rock.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: I want a rock. I need a rock. I need
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: a rock. I need a rock to stand on. I
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: need a rock to sit on. I need a rock
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: I can swing with. I need a rock I can
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: shout with. I need a rock I can holler with.

• 47:31
  Speaker 1: I need a rock. I got a thirst. I need
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: a rock. I got an army against me. I need
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: a rock. I don't care whether you stand on it,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: throw it, or sit on it. You need a rock.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Somebody say, I need a rock. I need a rock
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: in my marriage. I need a rock in my house.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: I need a rock in my mind. God is offering
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: him a rock. God offers a place beside him, but
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Moses stands on the rock to see it. The rock
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: represents Christ. Our only safe ground before the consuming glory
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: of God. God covers Moses with his hand to protect him.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Can you see how big this text is? He said,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: I'm protecting you from my presence and my goodness would
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: be too much for you If I didn't put my
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: hand over you and you got to get way over
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: in the rock. Get way over in the rock. Because
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: what I'm getting ready to cause to pass by you,
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: you got to be covered. I don't know who this
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: is for, but God said he's got you covered. I
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: don't know what you're coming up against, but God said
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: he's got you covered. I don't know what's going on
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: in your life right now, but God said he's got
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: you covered. I don't know what's been waking you up
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: in the morning, but God said he's got you covered.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's been having you tossing and turning
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: at night, but God said if you get in the rock,

  Speaker 1: say of the Lord, he is my God, my refuge,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: and my strength. In him will I trust. Some trust

  Speaker 1: I want the goodness of the Lord to pass over me.

  Speaker 1: I got a place beside me. I've been holding it
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: for you. I've been waiting on you. I've been waiting
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: on you. I've been waiting on you. I want to
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: give it to you. I want you to have it.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: That's your place. Can't nobody have it. You got to
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: take it. There is a place beside me. Beside me.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: Get beside me. Get beside me. Stop being cute and
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: get beside me. Open up your mouth and get beside me.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Stand on your rock and get beside me. Cry loud
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: and spread out. Get beside me. If you get beside me,
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: I'll move in your behalf If you get beside me
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: I'll heal your body If you get beside me I'll
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: knock that devil out of your way If you get
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: beside me I'll heal your nerves I'll heal your hypertension
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: If you get beside me I'll bring your blood pressure
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: down If you get beside me Hold it. Let God
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: hear his people. Let God hear his people. Let God
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: hear his people praise him. God wants to hear your mouth.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: God wants to hear your voice. Hold the music. Hold
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: the music. And let the first instruments praise God. The
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: first drum set praise God. The first silver trumpet, praise God.
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: It's your mouth. God wants to hear your mouth. The
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: mouth that's been murmuring. The mouth that's been complaining. The
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: mouth that's been bitter. Let God hear his people. People,
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: where are you? Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: Who wants it? Who wants it? Who wants the glory?
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: Who wants the glory? Who wants the glory? Is there
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: anybody back there that wants the glory? Is there anybody
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: in the balcony that.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: Wants the glory? Is there anybody over there that wants
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: the glory? Is there anybody in the pulpit that wants
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: the glory? Havon, it's heavy. Are you ready for it?
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: Can you stand up to it? It's Havon. It's God
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: releasing glory in your life. This is serious. This is serious.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: This is real business. We're going through some tough times,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: some rough days. You can't just go skipping through this.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: You have to let this get all the way inside
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: of you, all the way in your heart, all the
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: way in your spirit. I'm going to obey the Lord.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: I want every one of you to take one person
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: by both hands. Every one of you take one person
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: by both hands. Face them. Give God a place to
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: dwell in. The Bible said he inhabits the praises of
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: his people. And if you get together, one can chase
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: a thousand and two can chase 10,000. I said I
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: want you to take one person by both hands. You
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: got to learn some obedience. We're not going to do
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: this just any kind of way. The person you're touching
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: needs some glory. They've danced around enough golden calves. They
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: need a touch from God. A real touch from God.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: They came to church, but they didn't come for church.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: They came for a touch from God.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: God!
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: Move in that balcony. Move in that young man's life.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: Move in that sister's life. Move in that grandmama's life.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: Move in that mother's life. Move in her life. We
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: touch and agree. That they will never be the same again.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: That they're going to get a hit. They're going to
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: get a touch. They're going to get a sample. They're
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: going to get a taste of God. Squeeze that hand.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: They're going to get a taste of God right now.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: That's going to start a new beginning. They're going to
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: usher in a new era. They're going to get a
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: touch from God right now in their spirit. And while
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: I'm praying for her, she's praying for me. While I'm
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: praying for him, he's praying for me. While we're praying together,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: God is moving in our behalf. That's right. Open up.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: Open up. Open up. Open up. Open up. Open up.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: Open up. It's been a long time since you really
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: opened up before God. You bring your stuff, but you
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: don't bring yourself. Bring yourself. Throw yourself on the mercy
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: of the court. God wants a close proximity. You think
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: if you get enough stuff you have peace. There are
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: people with all kinds of stuff committing suicide. And God
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: will not really release what he has for you as
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: long as you worship him. This is an opportunity to
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: break your covenant with worshiping the things of God more
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: than you do the presence of God. The biggest mistake
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: the prodigal son makes is that he does not value
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: the presence of his father. He says, give me the
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: portion of stuff that comes to me. And he took
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: the stuff and ran out. And in the hog pen
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: he came to himself and he recognized The best part
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: of a person you can ever have is them. The
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: best part of God you can have is God himself.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: How many of you understand what's being preached this morning?
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: It wasn't hard for me to break covenant with things
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: when I didn't have hardly anything. But the more he
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: put in my grasp, the more I had to break
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: the grip of the blessings in front of the blessed sir.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: To know that I'll let nothing separate me. Nothing. Nothing
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: you give me. Nothing you do for me. Nothing you
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: provide for me. I'm not going to let it separate
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: me from the love of God. I will not be
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: more passionate for it than I am for you. I
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: will not give myself to it and not to you.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: It will not replace you in my life. I am
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: safe to bless because I will not make a God
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: out of stuff. As we prepare to worship the Lord
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: this morning, we're doing more than worshiping the Lord in
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: an offering. We're breaking our covenant with the things of
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: this world. This world is going crazy. It's going real quick.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: And when the Christ made who is on the Lord's side,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: I want it to be clear and resounding. Satan, you
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: can't write a check big enough. You can't create a
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: car long enough. You can't build a house wide enough
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: to separate me from my God. And this morning, whether
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: you're watching online or you're in the balcony, I want
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: this offering to be an expression of whose side you're
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: on this morning. I will let nothing separate me. Not
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: a raise, not a promotion, not a business, not an opportunity, nothing.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: You can trust me with favor. You can trust me
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: with famine. I have learned whatever state I'm in, therewith
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: to be content. My prayer is just to be close
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: to you. And I want to sow my way into
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: a deeper place of communion with you. When I pray
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: and fast, I'm fasting to say I want to be
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: close to you. It means I'll give up food to
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: be close to you. When I give an offering, it
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: means I'll give up stuff to be close to you.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: When I lay my sins on the altar, it means
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: I will repent to be close to you. That's my desire.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: Nobody can do this for you. We can sing for you.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: We can preach for you. We can write books to you.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: But nobody can bring your sacrifice to the altar but you.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: It's going to have your sin on it, your hand
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: on it, your commitment as we sow into the kingdom
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: of God. For somebody that sacrificed is $ 5, 000. For somebody
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: that sacrificed is $ 500. For somebody that sacrifices is $ 50.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: It's a real sacrifice for where I'm at right now
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: in my life. But I will not give to God
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: something that costs me nothing. I will not treat the
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: waitress better than I treat the kingdom. Quickly now. If
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: you don't believe offerings are important, ask Abel. Ask Cain.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: If you don't believe that offerings matter, ask Jesus sitting
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: by the table watching the widow give her might. If
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: you don't believe that offerings are important, ask Noah why
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: he gave his offering before he built his house. Ask
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: Abraham why he brought his son to the altar and said,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: I'll let nothing separate me. And God said, now I
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: know by your offering. Now I know. That you are
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: serious about me. Me and the lad are going yonder
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: to worship. Worship to him meant sacrifice. When you prepare
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: your sacrifice this morning, it may be the greatest act
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: of worship you have done all day. And I want
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: you to stand like the priest you are. I'm not
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: just a church goer. I'm not just a person that
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: goes to the potter's house. I'm not just somebody visiting.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not just somebody hanging out. I understand who I am.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: And I lift my offering up to God. I lift
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: my offering. Come and stand with me, honey. I lift
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: my offering. As for me and my house. Yeah. I
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: can't speak for the neighbors. I don't know what they're
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: going to do down the street. But as for me
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: and my house, we're going to serve the Lord. Hallelujah.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: The whole world's going crazy. I want the blood on
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: the doorpost of my house. I want the blood on
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: the doorpost of my house. I want it on the lentil.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: I will not live in a house that has no sacrifice.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: I lift my sacrifice up to God. Lift it up high. Father,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: right now in the name of Jesus, we slay a lamb.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: We offer up a sacrifice. We put the blood on
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: the lentil in the doorpost. We cover our houses with
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: the blood. Curses are out. Diseases are out. Trouble is out.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: Turmoil is out. Chaos is out. Weather like we've never seen.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: Volcanoes erupting. Earthquakes breaking out everywhere. This is no time
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: to play. Hallelujah. As for me and my house, I'm
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: standing here to make a commitment. We're going to serve you.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: Somebody watching online, You don't normally even give like that,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: but the Holy Spirit is challenging you right now to
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: lay your seat up on the altar. Hallelujah. Death angels
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: are passing by. Floods are passing by. Fires are passing by.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: Earthquakes are passing by. Hallelujah. But I'm going to put
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: my treasure where the fire can't burn. Hallelujah. Where the
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: wind can't drown. I'm going to put my treasure where
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: the earthquake can't swallow it up.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 4: My hope is in Jesus.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: As we consecrate our offering and our tithes up to you.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: We know that we're so in tithes at times that
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: people are losing jobs. And we're grateful to have something
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: to tithe on. Grateful, grateful. We don't take it for granted.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: We don't take it for granted that the enemy is
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: moving through, touching every place he can. And here to
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: this present moment, you have blessed me. Fed me. Covered me.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: Clothed me. And you dare to say that you will
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: cause your goodness to pass over me. I'm going to
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: stand on your word today. I'm going to stand on
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: the rock. And I believe in you for goodness to
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: pass before me. All the stuff I've been working on
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: in my own strength. I'm turning it over to you.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: If you don't do it, it can't be done. I
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: offer this up before you in the name of Jesus.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: It's my personal commitment to wholly serve the Lord. In
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: Jesus' name. I mean a big amen. Pass your seat
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: all the way to the left. All the way to
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: the left. How many people have sensed the presence of
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: God in this place right now? PMT serve the people
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: of God. Somebody give him a praise. You've been real good.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: You've been real kind. You've been real patient. I ask
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: you to move away from the front of the altar.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: Not to raise the offering. Not that kind of offering.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: But to give the opportunity for somebody... Who knows that
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: going to church alone will not cut it. I need
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: to be close to you. My kind of sin, my
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: kind of sinner, my kind of weakness, my kind of trouble,
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: my kind of vulnerability needs your closeness. I'm scared of
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: myself if I'm not close to you. I don't trust
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: myself if I'm not close to you. I got to
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: get close to you. When I'm close to you, I'm cool.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: But if I get too far away from you, I
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: need Jesus in my life in a real way. I
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: need Jesus in my life in a real way. Y'all
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: didn't hear me. I need Jesus in my life in
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: a real way. I want you to stand for a moment.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: I want you to come down to the altar if
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to you. If you're a backslider, you're a sinner,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: I want you to come down to the altar with
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: business on your mind. All of us have sinned. All
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: of us have sinned. Come short of the glory of God.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: Don't let nobody fool you. But if there's something down
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: inside of you that wants to be close to him,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you're in the back of the balcony.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you're in the middle of the row.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: I don't care if the person standing beside you won't move.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: Go around them. In fact, everybody stand up so you
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: won't be nobody's excuse for not coming. If I could
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: get everywhere there's a soul, if I could get a
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: minister to lead them to Jesus. without hesitation, without reservation.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: You are bringing the greatest offering that has ever been
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: brought is to bring your life and your heart to Jesus.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: I want the ministers to get in front of them
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: and lead them to Jesus. That's what ministry is. I
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: want the ministers to get in front of them and
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: lead them to Jesus. There's still room at this altar.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: There's still time left. There's still a chance. There's still
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: an opportunity. Though millions have come, there's still room for one.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: There's room at the cross for you. Preacher, you don't
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: know what I did. You don't know what I did.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: The blood will save anybody. The blood will wash anything away.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: come right now while the tug is there. That tug
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: is God's mercy. That tug is God's grace. That tug
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: means God hasn't given up. You ought to be glad
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: he's pulling at you. You ought to be glad for
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: that uncomfortable, nervous feeling means God still wants you. You
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: ought to move right now. You ought to move before
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: he changes mind. You ought to move before you go
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: reprobate and can't feel it and can't sense it and
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: can't see it. I got five ministers over here not
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: praying for anybody. If there's a soul, if there's a backslider,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: if there's somebody in the house, come right now. Yes. Yes.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: If it's full, they'll get you next. Come right now.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: Come right now. Come right now. Somebody ought to get
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: glad about it. Somebody ought to get Holy Ghost glad
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: about it. Somebody ought to get Holy Ghost glad about.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 4: It.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: Hold your music for a moment. You mean you're going
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: to get this close and not come? You mean you're
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: going to get up and get dressed and drive down
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: the road and park and walk all the way over
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: here and know you need Jesus and stand there this
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: close and won't get in the place beside him? Are
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: you serious? Oh, you're saying you're going to clean up
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: first and then you're going to come. If you could
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: clean up first, you wouldn't need to come. close proximity.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: This is my chance for change. This is my chance
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: for change. This is my chance for resurrection. This is
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: my chance for renewal. While you're standing, if you're here
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: and you need a church home where you can go
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: and grow and have fellowship with the saints, I'd like
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: to recommend this church. Don't let nobody tell you this
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: church is dead. They wouldn't be saying that if this
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: church was dead. They're only saying it because the church
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: is alive and on fire and moving forward and doing
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: things in the name of the Lord. The devil don't
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: fight what he already got. The devil don't fight what
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: he already owns. If the devil is fighting, it's a
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: sign that something divine is happening. If you come to
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: my left and say, I want to be a member
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: of this church, our pastors are standing there with their
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: hands outstretched, ready to receive you into the Potter's House family.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: Whosoever will, let them come. if you have a loved
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: one that's in trouble, drunk, alcoholic, bad attitude, suicidal, depressed,
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: if you've lost a loved one, if you know someone
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: that really needs Jesus, look at the souls at this
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: altar and rejoice right now This is another soul that
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: got away. This is another soul that got away. This
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: is another soul that escaped. This is another soul that
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: got loose today. You ought to get glad. This is
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: somebody's child. This is somebody's husband. This is somebody's mama
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: on the altar today giving their heart to Jesus. A
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: generational curse is breaking right now in the name of Jesus.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: God is doing a new thing. Help me praise the Lord.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: If you just gave your life to Christ and you
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: do not have a church home, why don't you take
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: the final step and come to my left and make
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: this church your church. You just accepted Christ. You just
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: renewed your walk. Now let's seal the deal and make

• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus. Not just for one Sunday and never

• 1:24:37

  Speaker 1: them to the house? Would you welcome them to the house?
