  Speaker 1: The book of Acts and stand for the last time
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you don't have to stand no more you can duck
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: walk out of here if you need to just so
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: you stay seated but Acts chapter 3 verse 1 through
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: 10 now Peter and John now Peter and John not
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Peter or John Peter and John Went up together into
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the temple. At the hour of prayer. Being the ninth hour.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: And a certain man laying from his mother's womb. From
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: his mother's womb. Was carrying. Whom they laid daily at
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the gate of the temple. Which is called beautiful. To
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: ask alms of them that entered into the temple. Who
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Say hey give me some money. And Peter fastening his
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: eyes upon him, John said, look on us. And he
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something, expecting, expecting
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to receive something of them. Then Peter said, silver and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: gold have I none, but such as I have.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Give I thee.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and walk. And he took him by the right hand
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and lifted him up. And immediately his feet and ankle
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: bones received strength. And he leaping up stood and walked
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and entered with them into the temple. Walking, leaping and
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: praising God. And all the people saw him walking and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: praising God. And they knew that it was he which
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: sat for alms at the beautiful gate of the temple.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: And they were filled with wonder and amazement. Oh, they
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: just sung that last week about amazement. God's going to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: amaze you. And that which had happened unto him. Can
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you say amen? I was fascinated because a man expected
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to receive something. But what he got was not what
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: he expected. And the Holy Spirit said to me to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: preach the unexpected. The unexpected. I don't know who this
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: is for. I don't know what this is about. But
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: God said he's going to do the unexpected. It is
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: not going to be normal. It's not going to be ordinary.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be routine. God's going to do
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the unexpected. Maybe you're watching online and you just count
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: another Sunday because it's Sunday. But God said he's going
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to do the unexpected. Exceedingly abundantly above all you may
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: ask or think. That mind blowing move of God. That
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: disorienting move of God. The kind of move of God
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that makes you have to change your plans to accommodate it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Because God's going to do the unexpected. That out of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the box kind of God. That rule breaking God. That
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: yoke breaking God. That door opening God. Get ready for
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the unexpected. Do you hear what I'm talking to you about?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Spirit of the living God, pour pressure on us now
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: as we open up the word of God.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: We are so grateful to you that you would speak
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to us at all.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Let the word speak in such a profound and didactic
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: way that we are altered and changed and even disrupted
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: by what you preach. Minister not just to me but
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: through me. Flow through me that I might deliver to
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: your people that which you would have imparted unto them.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I thank you in advance for what you're about to do.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I believe you for amazing things have your way, great
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: God that you are. I believe you for it in
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Jesus' name. Amen.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: You may be seated. Yeah.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Time to go to work. I must confess to you
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that these are troubling times. I don't care how much
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: faith you have and how much you pray. These are
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: troubling times. You don't know from one moment to the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: other what's going to happen next. You can't count on people.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: They'll say something and then do something completely different. And
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: then say they didn't say what you heard them say. Amen.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: You got the tape of them saying it and they'll
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: still act like you're crazy and say, I didn't say that.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: They'll say that you didn't see what you saw even
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: though you saw it. And say it so long if
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you're not careful it'll make you wonder, did you see
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: what you saw when you saw it? Because I have
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: never seen so many people be absolute in being absolutely wrong.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: It used to be that we had some absolutes. Some
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: truth that we could build around. Some areas that we
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: would not touch in order to gain momentum. Some areas
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: were sacred and untouchable. But now anything goes to get ahead.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: These are troubling times. Because we have hurricanes where we
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: used to have sunshine. Tsunamis where we used to have beaches.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: These are troubling times because we have ice where we
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: used to have heat. And heat where we used to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: have ice. These are troubling times because the world we're
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: living in is so unpredictable that we had to leave
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: our water running last night and tomorrow it's going to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: be hot. I don't know what to wear. I feel
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: like wearing a fur coat with shorts.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just totally confused because I don't know what's going
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to happen next.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: All of the absolutes are being changed.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: And even though we are citizens in our own country,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: sometimes we feel like subordinates. Sometimes we feel second class.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we feel mistreated. Sometimes we feel unheard. It's not
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: just a matter of race, but also status. Status. It
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: seems like if you have enough status, you can get
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: by with doing anything. You can be guilty and not
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: go to jail if you got enough status. You can
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: be innocent and go to jail if you don't. And
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: these are troubling times. I don't know what to teach
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: our children to expect.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Because I am unsure.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: And if I act like they didn't bother me at all,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I'd be lying to you. I want to confess to you.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I have faith. I believe God. I talk to God.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: But sometimes I'm troubled. Sometimes when I lay down, I'm troubled.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Sometimes when I get up in the morning, I'm troubled.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I would be a lot more troubled if it were
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: not for the word of God. I confess to you
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: that I used to come to church just to come
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to church. But now the word of God is often
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: my therapy. It's my therapy. It's my detox zone. It's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: where I get my head together. It's where I chill out.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: It's where I'm reminded that the world has been crazy before.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: It's where I'm reminded that the prophets of old worked
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: against adverse conditions and circumstances and still called fire down
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: from heaven. Still called water out of a rock. Still
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: entered into a city and turned the city upside down.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: It's important to me to read that. And the more
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I go into the word of God, it is more
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: than reading Bible stories. I become more fascinated about the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: circumstance in which the story occurred. In the text today,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the circumstance that surrounds the story is as powerful as
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the story itself. This generation of Jews have lost power
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: in their own country.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: They're on their land, but they are not fully.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Deputized and empowered to be able to function in their environment.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: They are oppressed by Rome. Oppressed to a degree, not
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: totally oppressed. Not like their forefathers who were oppressed in Babylon.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: They're oppressed at home. Now it's one thing to be
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: oppressed in a strange country. And it's another thing to
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: be oppressed in.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Your own house.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: To be on your own turf in a familiar environment
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and not be empowered in your own situation.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Such were the times.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: That they had to come to the Roman government and say, Mother,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: may I, before they did anything because they were not
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: in control in the same territory that they owned. They
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: were a colony of Rome. And this colonization, this notion
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: of colonization had caused them to be kind.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Of patted on the head.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Rome said, we're going to control all the money, but
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you can still have church. It's almost as if church became,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: worship became a pacifier. while Rome took control. And it
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: had been that way such a long time that you
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: couldn't tell where the government ended and the church began.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Sounds a lot like today. In fact, they called it
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Herod's Temple at one point When did Herod get to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: have a temple? And now Herod is making money.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Off the temple. The reason Jesus turned.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Over the tables wasn't because they were selling cakes in
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the back of the church. The reason that Jesus turned
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: over the tables is because Herod had brought his hand
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: into God's house and was making money off of people
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: who just wanted to worship him. It was nothing wrong
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to bring an offering, but Herod was taxing them on
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: their giving. And when Jesus saw what government had done.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: To church, he turned the tables upside down. I don't know,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: But I think today, if he were to come in
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: and see what's going on in the church world today,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: that it'd be some tables flipped over in the floor.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Because we have confused the gospel with our perspectives today.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And now if you don't agree with me, you're going
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to hell. And you don't even need a Bible verse
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: to send me. All you need is an opinion. Colonization
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: can be a damnable thing. That's why our country was
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: founded resisting it. It started out not to be states,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: not to be its own government. It started out to
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: be 13 colonies. Who rose up and protested against Great
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Britain and said we refuse to be an outpost of
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: another country's government. And fighting and fighting and fighting back
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: until finally in 1776 they won their independence. We didn't
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: have ours yet but they had theirs. I'm just telling
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: it like it is. The Jews at this point wanted
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: their independence. Independence. Even those who followed Jesus did not
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: just follow Jesus so he could perform miracles and do
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: tricks like a magician.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: They had an underlying motive.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: When will you restore the kingdom really meant when are
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: you going to give us.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Back control of our own land?
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: The coming of the Messiah and the calling of him
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the king of the Jews gave them hope that they
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: would stop to be a colony of Rome and that
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: he was strong enough to fight back. But he didn't.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: He died. They beat him half to death. Rome did.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And the Lord of glory died. And how do you
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: preach a powerful message When the one you're preaching about
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: got beat to death.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: And died.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Thomas said, I'm through with it. And you blame Thomas
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and you talk to him about it. But I'm not
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: too hard on Thomas. Because there are things, there is
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: a hurt that can hurt so bad that shakes you.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Down to your toes.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: And you don't even want to be in anything that
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: reminds you of that kind of pain again. Maybe you
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: haven't lived long enough to have that kind of pain.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: But there is a pain that becomes so tough that
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you don't even want certain.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Pictures in your house.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: There is a pain that becomes so tough that you'll
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: blot the face off of the media. You don't want
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: them to pop up on Facebook. You don't want them
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: to come up on Instagram. There is a pain that
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: becomes so tough that you don't want any sign of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: it again. And Thomas said, unless I feel the nail
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: prints in his hand and where I pierced him in
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the side, I will not believe it. And Jesus showed
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: up because he understood Thomas' disappointment. Judas hung himself. Peter
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: went to cussing. Everything was coming apart. All hell was
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: breaking loose. And still he rose. Still he rose. He
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: had come into his own and his own had received
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: him not. He had stood on the Mount of Olives
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: and weeped over Jerusalem and said, Oh, Jerusalem, one of
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the few times that Jesus cried, incidentally.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Would I have gathered you as a hen does her chicks,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: but ye, ye, my brethren, would not.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Would not.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: We're getting ready to celebrate the MLK Day, and it's
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: a wonderful thing. But a lot of people who are
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: celebrating him in death did not respect him in life.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: And I'm not just talking about white folks either. It
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: was some black folks that didn't accept him in life.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: He was controversial in life. It's amazing how after you die,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: everybody names stuff after you. Jesus has now died and
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: rose from the dead, but he only showed himself alive
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: to believers. And after showing himself alive for 40 days
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: with many infallible proofs, he stepped on a cloud and
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: ascended into the heaven and left them looking up at
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: him as their dreams went up in the air. Ye
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: men of Galilee, the angels said, why stand ye here
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: gazing at me? This same Jesus that you see us
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: in shall descend in like manner.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Go and preach the gospel.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: You shall receive power, Acts 1 and 8, after that
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost has come upon you. And you shall
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: be witnesses, not power to dance. Not power to beat
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the tambourine. Not power to start your own choir. Not
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: power to make a name for your ministry. You shall
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: be witnesses unto me.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Witnesses.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: You don't need a witness unless you're on trial. You
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: shall be witnesses unto me. I'm gone and I'm still
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: on trial. I'm going to be controversial even after I'm gone.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: You shall be witnesses unto me. In Jerusalem And Judea
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: and Samaria and the uttermost parts of the earth. You
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: shall be witnesses unto me. And so what we see
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: here is Peter and John coming up in a last
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: ditch attempt to give Jerusalem a final chance to recognize
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Jesus as Messiah.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Jesus was through with it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: He said not one stone will be left standing upon another.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I'm done with you. I'm out of here.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Peter and John are coming to the synagogue at the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: hour of prayer. Peter and John is not just anybody.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: They are part of Jesus' inner circle. There are a
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: few things that Jesus did that Peter and John and
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: James were not at. They were there at the Mount
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: of Transfigurations. They were there in the garden of Gethsemane.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: They were Jesus' inner circle. Sometimes you can't take everybody
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: with you. Oh, that's worth writing down right there. Sometimes
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: you can't take everybody with you. When you know who
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: you are, you have to have an inner circle that
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: kind of insulates you from outside influences. Peter and John
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: were the cream of the crop. These are not just anybody.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: This is not Bartholomew or somebody. This is not Matthew
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: or somebody. This is Jesus' choice servant coming to the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: synagogue at our prayer. Now, they are not coming to
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the synagogue because they agree with the synagogues. The synagogue
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: has rejected Jesus. They are apostles of Jesus. So it
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: is the clashing of kingdoms that they would have the
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: audacity to come to the synagogue to preach what the
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: synagogue thought was a cult. So they did not expect
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: a warm welcome. They did not expect that. And the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: synagogue did not necessarily expect that they would have the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: audacious attitude to be able to walk up into their
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: assembly to preach something contrary to what they believed. And
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: they did not expect to run into the lame man
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: at the gate. And the lame man who had been
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: laid daily at the gate did not expect to run
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: into them. So everything that happens in this story is.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Unexpected.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: If you would have told the synagogue that Peter and
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: John were coming, they would be shocked. They were not
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: looking for them. If you would have told Peter and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: John that they would stop outside at the gate called
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: beautiful and expend their anointing on a no-name beggar who
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: had been laid daily. at the gate from his mother's womb.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: They did not expect it. There was no appointment on
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: their date book for this to happen. Oh, y'all don't
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: hear what I'm saying. But God in his sovereign ability
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: to orchestrate the affairs of men sets appointments and don't
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: necessarily tell you that it's an appointment. You just walk
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: into it and it happens to you. And once you're
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: in it, you begin to recognize this.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Is a divine setup.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that meeting you was going to change
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: my life. I didn't know that meeting you would change
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: the trajectory of how I see myself.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that I would have the kind of encounter.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Having met you that would disrupt how I define myself.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: But such is the text.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Because the lame man was used to being the lame man.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: What do you do.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: When you are referred to As a lame man. What
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: do you do when you are referred to as a
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: drug addict? What do you do when you are referred
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: to as a cheater and a whoremonger? What do you
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: do when what you do becomes bigger than who you are? Oh,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: y'all don't hear what I'm saying. Until somebody can name
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: your weakness and everybody in the room know who they
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: talking about.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: This is the lame man. Everybody knew it.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: The people in the temple said, we know that's the
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: lame man who's begging at the gate. They didn't say
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: that's Fred Wilson. That's Charlie Johnson. That's Michael Freddie. No,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: they didn't call his name. They called his condition because
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the condition had defined who he was. Have you ever
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: had a condition? that defined who you were, that had
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: swallowed up your name, that everybody referred to you, whether
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: in your face or behind your back, by what you do,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: not who you are.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Such is the case with the lame man. He is
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: not lame in many ways.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Even though he has spent his whole life begging, his
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: hands were not broken. He had no problem stretching forth
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: his hand. There was nothing wrong with his brain. He
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: was not blind like Bartimaeus. His spine was not twisted.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: He was not sick with palsy. He was not paralyzed.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: In fact, 90% of his body was functional. It was
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: just his ankles and feet. Isn't it funny how one thing.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: I.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Know y'all don't know what I'm talking about. So sitting
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: there looking real confused won't nobody know that you got
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: a thing that affects every other thing in your life.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Whether it's a mouth or a temper or a doubt
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: or an attitude or a disorder. One thing that you
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: know about yourself that limits your movement, your activity, your growth,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: your opportunity that stops you, that brings you to your knees.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: And in spite of everything else, 90% being strong and healthy,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: 10% can take you down. One thing being broken in
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: your life can take you down. That's why it's not
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: good to turn up your nose and start talking about people.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Because everybody got something that don't work right. Yeah, yeah,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I'm a preacher today. Everybody got something that don't work right.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: It might not be obvious. It might be covered. It
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: might be camouflaged. It might be camouflaged by the accruements
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: of your success or your accolades or your degrees or
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: your finances or your beauty until people don't notice that
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you're beautiful, but you're just a little bit crazy. That
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: you can quote all of the Bible but you have
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: trouble living. Certain parts. It was just his ankles. But
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: his ankles had shut down everything. He might as well
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: be paralyzed all over his body. Because this one part
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: didn't work. I'm wondering if you are honest enough to
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: admit that something don't work right.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I'm good at speaking in front of people.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: But I'm bad at handling money. I'm great at handling money,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: but I can't stand to be around people. Everybody has
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: something in their life that affects everything else because life
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: keeps asking you to function in the way that you
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: don't function. What happens when you have to function in
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: a way that you don't function? You create a way
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: of coping with what you can't correct. And so what
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: we see in the first sentences of this text is
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: this man has set in place a coping mechanism that
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: is built around his dysfunction. Blind people do it. Moving
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: furniture around to fit blind people. Handicapped people do it.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Putting bars in the bathroom so that you can move
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: from the wheelchair and move over to the seat. Everybody
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: has a way of making adjustments in their life to
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: accommodate their deficiencies. Little ways of doing things. I knew
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: when I got married that I could not safely marry
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: a mouthy woman. So every mouthy woman that dated me,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I said, not her. Not her, because I don't want
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: to be locked up with Bobo, not her. You got
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: to know what don't work right in you. I'm not
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: against mouthy women, it's just not for me. Because that's
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: a trigger for me. You get up in my face,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: shaking your neck. And the district attorney going to have.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: To come get me.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I just, you got to know what doesn't work.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: For you.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I don't want no dumb woman who can't think and
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: can't help. I want you to be strong. I want
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: you to have your opinion. But I don't want you
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: up in my face breaking glasses and stuff. Because I
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: might forget.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling, I'm.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Confessing my ankles. I'm going to show my ankles today.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I might forget. I might forget.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, don't do that. I might forget. You
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: can't do that. You don't set.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Yourself in situations that you know are too big for you.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: That you know you can't handle. You don't knowingly send
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: a cookie monster to work at the cookie factory. And
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: then be shocked because he ate up the cookie. You
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: knew I was a cookie monster when you hired me.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: You don't hire a child molester to work in pediatrics.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: When you know that something doesn't work in your life,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: you make certain adjustments to accommodate.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Your issues.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: So that you can be in an atmosphere where at
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: least you can survive. This man has never walked. He
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: is not a person who used to walk. He has
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: no memory of standing up. He has no mental cognitive
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: memory of standing up. His muscles have no memory of
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: standing up. His nerve endings have no memory of standing up.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Whether you know it or not, your body has a memory.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: If you work out all the time and you quit
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: for a while and go back to working out, it
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't take long for your body to say, oh, we're
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: doing that again. And it starts giving you the strength
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: to do what you used to do.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: It has a memory.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: His legs have no memory of ever walking. He has
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: been lame. He came out of his mama's belly with
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: his ankles full. And so he has devised a system.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: And the system has caused him to surround himself, number one,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: with enablers.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Enablers are the people who carried him. every day to
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: the same place.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: The enablers were the people that you select in your
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: life that support you in your crippleness. They make it
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: convenient for you not to do better. I'm going to
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: mess with you now enablers are the sugar daddies.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Or mamas.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Of lazy people who could work but enablers are the
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: people that make it convenient for you not to have
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to believe God for better somebody shout better You'll never
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: get better as long as somebody is carrying you. I
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: would respect him better if they said he crawled to
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the gate. Seeing as his knees worked and his hands worked,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: he could have crawled to the gate. But no, he
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: has this group of people who carry him to the
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: same place. And in some ways, they are as crippled
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: as he is. Because there are people that don't want
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: you to get better because if you got better, they
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have a job. I'm going to mess with you
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: a little bit. There are people who make a living
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: off of your dysfunction and they're counting on you to
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: be lonely and they're counting on you to be desperate
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: and they're counting on you to call them at two
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning and they're counting on you to
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: need them in that way or they lose importance.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: He was laid daily, carried.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Ain't nothing wrong, you can't move. He was carried daily
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: to the same place. You know you got enablers when
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: they keep taking you.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: To the same place.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: The names might change to protect the innocent, but they
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: keep carrying you. To the same, if you own your
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: third husband and all of them beat you. You got
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: to stop saying what's wrong with them and look in
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: the mirror and say, hey. What's wrong with me that
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I keep attracting this same type of person and allow
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: them to. Oh, y'all ain't going to help me preach today.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: That's okay. I'm going to get there. I'm going to
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: get there. Their job was to lay him at the
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: gate called beautiful. Never anywhere else. They never took him
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: all of his life. He has been laid in a
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: conspicuous place where the righteous would walk past him and
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: feel sorry for him. He is living off of the
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: benevolence of people who care. He has to be in
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: close proximity to compassionate people to work them. It is
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: the same reason homeless people hang out outside of restaurants.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Because they know you just ate a five-star meal and
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: you come out and run into them. They know you're
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: more apt to feel guilty. That ain't no mistake. That
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: ain't no accident. They're not hanging around at the shelter.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: They're hanging out at the places where you eat. So
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: that you can belch and feel bad and reach for
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: your wallet. And they got to do what they got
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: to do. But some of us are beggars without caring signs.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: And we hang out around certain types of people because
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: we know they are compassionate enough to carry us. And
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: we don't have to use what we do have that's
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: working for us. Because they are so compassionate, we can
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: just be helpless. I just can't do it. I just
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: can't get up. I just can't stand up. I just
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: can't go to school. I just can't take it. I'm
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: just not that kind of person.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: You want to eat?
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Certain men laid him daily at the gate called beautiful.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: These are the people that you design in your life
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: to create an ecosystem of dysfunction.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Not one of.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Them on any day challenged him to get up. Everybody
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: carried him. Nobody pulled him. Nobody took him by the
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: hand and yanked him and commanded him to walk. Everybody
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: around him made allowances for his deficiencies. Excuses for, oh mama,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: you just don't understand him. He's really a nice guy.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: I know he don't work a job, but he's a
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: wonderful person. We make excuses for the dysfunctions we choose
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: to keep. Oh, I'm stepping on toes. I can tell
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: I'm stepping on toes because when I get right in
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: the middle of your toe, you get quiet. I know
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: he's 35 and still living with me, but one day
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: he gonna take off.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: And fly like a bird.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: He don't buy groceries. He don't pay rent. He don't help.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Are you an enabler? Ooh, got quiet.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask y'all online. I can't hear you, but
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: type something on the line.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Are you an enabler? Have you told yourself a story.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: To justify somebody's dysfunction, never challenging them to do what
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: they've never done because they've never done it before? You
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: cease to expect it. The death of expectation limits productivity.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: When I give up on you doing better and I
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: make adjustments for you and I go ahead and build
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: you a room and give you a key so you
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: can come in the basement and feel like you've grown
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: while I pay the bills, I have set up a
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: system that does not allow you to evolve. And from
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: his mother's womb to this present moment, this man has
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: gone through the same routines. The vicious cycle of needing
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: somebody to help you. The vicious cycle of using people
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: as a profession. The vicious cycle of getting over. The
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: vicious cycle of putting your.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Weight on me.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Hey, excuse me. I already got to carry me. Now
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: I got to carry me and you. It's not fair
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: for me to have to carry me and you. And
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: you don't feel bothered by me carrying you. This is
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: the way it's supposed to be. And this happens every day.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I don't get a weekend off. I don't get the holidays. Hey,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: it's MLK Day Monday. Can I not go Monday? Is
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: there any day I don't have to carry you? Could
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: you do something to add value? Could you paint the porch?
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Could you take out the trash? Could you clean out
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: the refrigerator? Could you do something to add value in
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: my life? Must you always think that I am the
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: National Bank of Commerce? There are certain people that have
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: set up a system of dysfunction and some of you
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: have a loving heart and you keep trying to help
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: them and you keep believing that they're going to get
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: better and they are taking advantage of your compassion. And
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: this is a hard cycle to break. Because the cycle
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: is a system and the system is a circle. And
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: every day I pick you up, you know where we're going.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: And every day I get you an evening, you know
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: where we're going. Because we've been in a cycle for
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: years and neither of us expects it to change. It
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: is into this environment Peter and John come. But I
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: believe that the picture of the lame man is a
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: picture of the synagogues. Because this, can I take my
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: time with this? The synagogue has been functioning for years
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: with an outer court and an inner court, but no
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: glory in the holies of holies. They were just missing
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: a little bit, but they had learned how to function
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: without the glory.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: And the synagogue was transformed as lame. Oh, y'all don't
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: want to hear me.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: The synagogue was just as lame in its religiosity as
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: the lame man at the gate called beautiful. So we
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: got a lame man in front of a lame church.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: And he fits into this lameness. Because how can a
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: lame church say anything about a lame man? Both of
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: them have something that doesn't work. And into this lame condition,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Peter and John now come. The problem with Peter and
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: John is that they are not enablers. They are evangelists.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Evangelists are not enablers. Because true evangelists, we don't have
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: many anymore. Most of you have never seen a true evangelist.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: You see speakers who speak multiple days. But a true
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: evangelist is a disruptor. A true evangelist will turn the
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: church inside out. A true evangelist is not an evangelist
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: because they hoop. They're not an evangelist because they raise money.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: They're an evangelist because they carry you somewhere you've never
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: been before... and ask you to do something you've never
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: done before. And people get healed, and people get delivered,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: and people get saved, and people.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Get set free.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: And a true evangelist is not like a Sunday morning service...
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Hell on a Thursday night. A true evangelist disrupts things,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: changes lives. Marriages are reconciled. People are getting breakthroughs. People
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: are getting delivered. People are getting help. I have to
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: describe it to you because you can't find it anymore.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: You got these gumslingers with Bibles who will work for money.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: But a true evangelist will come in and disrupt things.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Peter and John came up to the temple at the
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: hour of prayer and they run into this man. They
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: haven't even got in the church. They came to disrupt
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: the synagogue. But before they could get to the synagogue
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: to disrupt the synagogue, they now have to disrupt this
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: man who is a picture of the synagogue. They're just
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: standing on either side of the gate, lame on this side,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: lame on this side. They can't get to the lameness
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: over here for the lameness over here. Can I go deeper?
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I know this is a familiar text, but I'm going
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: to drain it dry. I'm going to pull on it.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: I'm going to yank on it. I'm going to squeeze
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: it and I'm going to squash it. I'm going to
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: squeeze it until it fits your situation. I'm going to
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: squeeze it until God talks to you. I'm going to
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: squeeze it until the Holy Spirit arrests you. I'm going
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: to squeeze it until God says to you, you can't
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: have another year if you're going to keep on having
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: folk carry you to the same place. In order to
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: have a new year, you have to have a disruptive
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: experience that asks you to do something that you have
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: settled in your mind that you cannot do.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Peter and John come up at the hour of prayer.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: And the Bible says that the lame man, here comes
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: this word, looked on them expecting something. To receive something.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: But what he was expecting fit into the cycle of
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: what he called normal. I want to spend a minute
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: talking about the enemy of normal. Normal is an enemy.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Every believer should flee from normal. Because if you walk
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: with God, your life should not be normal. When you
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: walk with God you should not be ordinary. When you
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: walk with God you're not supposed to fit in the clique.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: When you walk with God you ought not be like
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: everybody else. When you walk with God every day is
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: a new day. When you walk with God he does
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: amazing stuff. When you walk with God he opens doors unexpectedly.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: When you walk with God he lets you meet people
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: you never thought you would meet. When you walk with God...
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: He puts you in situations that you weren't even qualified.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: But God has ordered your steps in such a way
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: that every day is exciting.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: When you walk with God.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: There's a spirit of gratitude that comes into your life
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: because your life is not normal and it is not routine.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: When you walk with God, God will always do the unexpected.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Can I go deeper? I have all kind of journalists
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: that ask me, I want to follow you around a
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: day so I can see what life is like for T.D.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Jakes in a normal day. I said, you can forget it.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: I have never had a normal day. Every day is
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: different from the other day. I don't have any day
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: that looks like the day I had before. One day
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: I'm in Africa. The other day I'm making oxtail. One
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: day I'm in Washington. The next day I'm in New York.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: One day I'm at a business meeting. The next day
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: I'm laying hands on the devil. One day I'm at
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: the hospital. One day I'm at the morgue. I don't
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: have a typical day. Because when you walk with Jesus,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: he does the unexpected. I'm wondering if there's anybody in
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: here who's spiritual enough to have walked in the unexpected.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: You can't put me in a box. You can't put
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: me in a box. You can't give me a title
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: and tell me.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: That's what I am.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: You can't expect me to always dress the same, look
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: the same, and act the same. Because I have an
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: unexpected God. I'm just like my daddy. One day I'm
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: in jeans. One day I'm in a suit. One day
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I'm in shorts. One day I'm in coveralls.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: You can't expect.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Me to fit into your routine, deadbeat, ordinary, lifeless, religious,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: philosophical ideology. Because I serve a God who hates religion.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: He likes relationship. He does the unexpected. He does the impossible.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: He speaks to mountains and tell them to go into
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: the sea. He comes to his disciples walking on water.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: He stops funerals and raises up the dead. He goes
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: to weddings and turns water into wine. I serve a
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: God who's able to do exceedingly abundantly above all ye
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: may ask or think. Have you met my God? Have
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: you met my God? He sleeps in the middle of
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: a storm. He casts demons out of leisure. Have you
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: met my God? He pays taxes out of the fish's mouth.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Have you met my God? He refuses to die on
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: the whipping post. Have you met my God? He prays
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: for the people who crucified him. Have you met my God?
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: He rolls his own stone away. He gets up out
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: of the grave. He walks in the garden alive again.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Have you met my God? Type on the line, the unexpected,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: the unexpected, the unexpected, the unexpected to the unexpected.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: Type it as fast as you can.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: And I came to tell you that 2022 is going
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: to be your year.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: For the unexpected.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: This is going to be the year that the cycle breaks.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: This is going to be the year that God releases
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: you from enablers and brings you to evangelists. This is
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: going to be the year that.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: You get strength in places you never had it before.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: This is going to be the year that you leap
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: over obstacles. This is going to be the year that
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: you step over mountains. This is going to be the
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: year that the tail becomes the head. This is going
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: to be the year that the head becomes the tail.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: This is going to be the year of the unexpected.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: 2022 is my year for the unexpected. Don't look for
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: me where you left me. Don't look for me where
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: you lay me down.
