I meant God is good. 57 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,800 That is, is who he is. So goodness isn't something that 58 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,720 he has to try to do. That is who he is. 59 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,200 Can you say I meant somebody? So his plans, and this is 60 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,160 amazing.

His heart is good. 63 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,640 He's good. So he's not trying to be good. 64 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,720 That is who he is. He is good. 65 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:39,120 Somebody say God is good. Put your guys together. 66 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,680 Somebody showed.

Psalm 136 verse one, one of my 74 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,280 favorite scriptures. Oh, give thanks to the Lord for 75 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,480 he is good for his mercy and tears forever. 76 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,680 OK, that's not sometimes that means forever means all the so 77 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,600 God, it's not just good. Sometimes God is good all the 78 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,360 time, OK, and all the time he's got it. 79 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,040 That's we're not just pointing a cliche, right? 80 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,440 OK, we are declaring who God is. OK, and God is good all the 81 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,640 time. Come on, somebody said God is 82 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,800 good all the time and all the time. 83 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,560 We're having some church here today. 84 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,200 So this is not just a religious little saying, OK, this is real, 85 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,680 this is powerful. This is the word of God. 86 00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:49,680 It is not something that you can, this is something, listen, 87 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,560 you can experience and live and walk in every single day, OK? 88 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,920 You don't have to just wait for Sunday morning, OK? 89 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,360 It's in your Monday morning. It's in your Tuesday morning, 90 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,160 it's in your lunch breaks, OK? It's God is good all the time. 91 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,560 Come on, say that with me. God is good all the time. 92 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,480 Tell your neighbor he's good all the time. 93 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,760 The same yesterday, OK. He's always the same, always the 94 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,280 same. Good, good, good, good, good 95 00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:23,560 guys, not just sometimes in a good mood, OK, God is good all 96 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,320 the time. Yesterday, today and forever 97 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,000 He's the same, OK. And so he's good. 98 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,280 Now what I love about the gospel, that's effective 99 00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:36,720 evangelism when we reach people around the world is because the 100 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,600 gospel is not just news, OK? It's good news because our guard 101 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,480 behind it is good, a good gods. And so he's good all the time. 102 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,040 He's good on the mountain top and he's good in the valley, OK. 103 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,920 He's good when the doors open and it's good when the doors 104 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,640 shut. When he stays shut, he is still 105 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,040 all the time. And so that is talking about the 106 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,040 glory zone, living in the presence, the fullness of God. 107 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,720 Somebody say I'm stepping into the glory zone. 108 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,040 Yeah, the glory zone, somebody. So when Moses stood on that 109 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,480 mountain, he was longing for more. 110 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,120 He was once in more. He had a desperation, a cry for 111 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,800 presence. And he says, Lord, Lord, show me 112 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,760 your glory. I want to know you more. 113 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,040 I want to know your heart. I want your presence. 114 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:33,720 I want to go deep. I don't just want to know what 115 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,880 you can give, give, or do for me. 116 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,960 I want you, I want to know, I want to go deeper. 117 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,280 Lord, I want to live, I want to walk in your glory. 118 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,440 I want to experience this glory realm, this zone every day of my 119 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,320 life. Show me your glory, God. 120 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,280 And so here comes God, and he answers, and he revealed his 121 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,120 goodness. And so the glory is revealed 122 00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:00,960 through the goodness of God. His glory is revealed through 123 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,800 his goodness. So they go hand in hand 124 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,840 together, You they connected. God's glory and His goodness is 125 00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:08,800 connected. You cannot separate them from 126 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,080 one another, OK? When God shows up, His goodness 127 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,400 shows up. Amen. 128 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,680 And so God's revelation to Moses on the mountain is our, each and 129 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,440 every one of us revelation as well. 130 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:24,560 And this is the revelation. His goodness, my God, I mean, my 131 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,040 God. Yes, Moses, he's seen the 132 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,720 miracles, he's seen the red seas, he's seen the war, he's 133 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,480 seen powerful that and he's like the goodness of God on the 134 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:33,880 mountain. What a revelation. 135 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,560 Now maybe life has been lightly difficult and rough and hard. 136 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,320 Maybe there's been some financial struggles, balls 137 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,600 stacking up and piling up financial or yield like health 138 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,560 battles been going on and it's just been it feels like praise 139 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,440 have been unanswered.

Because here's the thing, a lot 188 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,440 of people miss it because they're not looking for it. 189 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,280 We get so busy in life that we focus on what is going wrong, 190 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,440 what's going wrong there, what's going wrong. 191 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,040 Yeah. And so we get so busy and caught 192 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,240 up that we forget to notice what is going right. 193 00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:56,000 We get so busy and so caught up with what is wrong, with the 194 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000 Mace, with the brokenness, that we miss the beauty. 195 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,400 Then we miss out what is beautiful. 196 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,400 And so focusing just on the negative, the negative news and 197 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,520 the negative. And then finally something good 198 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,480 happens. And then when something good 199 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,720 happens, then they say, well, that was just like a lucky break 200 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,440 or coincidence or random. The Bible says every good thing 201 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,960 from heaven, every good thing in our lives is from above, from 202 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,560 God come about somebody.

Amen. 259 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:45,000 And so listen, what we need to do church is this is very 260 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,160 important. We have to develop a 261 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,960 sensitivity. It's AI call it a glory radar 262 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,440 that we become that we develop a sensitivity for the things of 263 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,560 God, what God is doing, what God is we God's working and how is 264 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,680 working inside radar. So you need to tune in and start 265 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,800 recognizing the things that God, that God is working all around. 266 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,600 OK. And so that is highly important 267 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,280 in the time that we are living in that you create a greater 268 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,480 awareness for the presence of God because God is always doing 269 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:24,880 more than you know. So listen, you know, people 270 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,440 questioning the goodness of God. The the problem isn't that God 271 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,400 isn't good. The problem is that we are not 272 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:38,600 always noticing it being so busy and caught up with the things of 273 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,920 the world. It's easy then when things got 274 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,600 difficult to start questioning the goodness of, but we have got 275 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,400 to slow down. It's like that we've not always 276 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:53,880 noticing is that we haven't slowed down long enough to see 277 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,360 it, to see God at work, to see the goodness of God. 278 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,400 So this is what we need to do in order to create a greater 279 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,320 awareness, a sense of recognizing is trying your 280 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,480 heart. Start asking yourself, where did 281 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,720 I see God today? Was it in the friend that showed 282 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,920 up OK?

OK, because that is the glory 285 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,320 Zone church living in the goodness of God. 286 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,520 He says taste and see.

He's working more than you 294 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,560 realize. So you're not waiting for 295 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,920 goodness to show you already in it. 296 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:12,480 It's just a matter of recognizing it and tuning in. 297 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,560 Because listen, when you look that over your life, you will 298 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,359 know it wasn't Randa.

Now let me tell you this. 358 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,800 If you only knew everything that God has been arranging behind 359 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,760 the scenes to get you where you are today. 360 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,800 If you only knew everything they see the way He lined up, 361 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:04,000 conversations, people, opportunities, connections, it 362 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,800 would overwhelm you with gratitude. 363 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,040 If you see what God is doing behind the scenes to get you 364 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,480 where you are today, you would be grateful. 365 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,240 We would be overwhelmed with thankfulness, with gratitude. 366 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,240 Jesus said you did not choose me, I chose you. 367 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,000 OK, That means you didn't just stumble in this life. 368 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:30,200 God picked you, Jesus chose you, Jesus positioned you, He prepaid 369 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,080 you, and he's not finished with you yet. 370 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:37,800 Somebody shout Hallelujah. Now, I grew up in South Africa 371 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:42,040 in a small town, nothing fancy, no silver spoon. 372 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,000 But the Bible says do not despise the days of small 373 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,960 beginnings. So if your life doesn't look 374 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,560 like what is the dream in your heart, don't get discouraged, 375 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,040 OK? God is working in the small. 376 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,960 Keep on being faithful where you are, even when it looks small. 377 00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:04,440 Don't wait for the big break to give your best. 378 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,920 Give your best right now, right where you are, when nobody's 379 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,200 watching, when nothing seems to be happening, give your best. 380 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,800 Keep sowing, keep showing up, keep trusting God because God 381 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:21,000 sees and God knows and your season will come where you will 382 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,600 reap a harvest, your due season. And I so remember the early days 383 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,800 when we launched the church in Carnwood Community Centre. 384 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,000 It was just me, Michelle, my wife and my first born. 385 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:38,680 OK, not a big team, not flashing lights, no fancy, just the word 386 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,760 from God and a whole lot of faith. 387 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,560 Didn't have the crowds, OK, didn't have their comfort, but 388 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,080 we had a call. And every time when I look back 389 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,680 and I remember and I see how far God has brought us, I cannot 390 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,080 help but to thank him. I cannot help but to give him 391 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,160 the price. I cannot help but to give him 392 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,480 the glory and say thank you God for working of God. 393 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,400 Look where you have brought us from. 394 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,840 I remember what the critic says. The critics, they said you won't 395 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,680 make it, you won't last, you will burn out. 396 00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:16,280 And so then COVID hits and then the pressure came. 397 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,000 Businesses closed. But we did not fail. 398 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,360 We flourished. We didn't go under. 399 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,360 We went over. Somebody said Hallelujah. 400 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,360 And that was not good marketing or good skills. 401 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,680 That was a good news of God, Hallelujah. 402 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,640 Praise God, somebody. I'll never forget one day out of 403 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,280 nowhere we got a phone call from this person just do that only 404 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,000 visited our church a couple of times when it was time. 405 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,960 Not even a a sort of like a regular attendant member and 406 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,560 they just said, listen, we felt late to bless you with a car. 407 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:59,160 We and they sold an amazing car into our lives and that wasn't 408 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,440 luck coincidence. That was God showing up to 409 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,680 remind her I am good. I'm a good God. 410 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,720 Come on, somebody shout out Hallelujah. 411 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,000 Thank you Lord, for your goodness. 412 00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:15,240 Yeah, Hallelujah. I give God all the praise. 413 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,320 God has been good to us. Let that be everyday. 414 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,080 Wake up. God has been good to us. 415 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,320 OK, now watch this in Romans 828. 416 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:31,560 And we know that in all things God works for the good, those 417 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,320 who love it. OK, It doesn't say God works 418 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,000 through some things. It says all things. 419 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,640 That means the highs and the lows. 420 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,560 OK, it means all things. That means every detour, every 421 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,000 disappointment, every delay, God works. 422 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,040 God knows how to bring things together for your good. 423 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,880 He knows how to bring it together. 424 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:58,440 Even the mistakes that you make, even in the the mess situations, 425 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,240 the times when you have messed up. 426 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,680 God knows how to take every mess, every different, every 427 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,240 challenge and bring it together and work it for your good. 428 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,200 Hi God, what a God do we serve somebody? 429 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,160 We take our messes and turn it around for good. 430 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,800 Oh somebody Hallelujah. God can use it all. 431 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,400 He knows how to take broken pieces and build something 432 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,800 beautiful. What amazing card. 433 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,120 Hallelujah. Now let's be real. 434 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,680 It's very easy to shout God is good when life is good. 435 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,360 It's very easy to proclaim and declare, yeah, God is good when 436 00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:35,680 circumstances are good, OK, When everything is going your way and 437 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,160 the family's happy and everybody's good, then it's easy 438 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,400 to say God is good. OK, when the prayers are on set, 439 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,160 the doors are open, it's easy to say God is good. 440 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,840 But what if When it's difficult? What when life doesn't make 441 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,480 sense, when you don't understand, when life doesn't 442 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:58,080 feel fair? That's real faith that says God 443 00:25:58,120 --> 00:26:02,360 is still good. Even in the pain, even in the 444 00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:05,600 struggles of life, even in the suffering and the challenges, 445 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,360 God is still good. And you might be in a season 446 00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:12,200 right now where you don't know how things are going to work 447 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,360 out. But yeah, me. 448 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,520 Just because you don't see a way out, that doesn't mean God's not 449 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,440 working. God is working behind the 450 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,280 scenes. God is realigning things. 451 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,840 God is redeeming things. He's positioning things. 452 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,120 He's rearranging things. God never wastes a tear. 453 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,280 He never wastes a trial, He never wastes a battle. 454 00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:35,160 So instead of questioning his goodness and say, why is this 455 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,920 not happening to me? Why do I go through this stuff 456 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,440 on this challenge? Start saying, Lord, I trust you 457 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,560 that you are working through this, this situation, this 458 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,280 difficulty, this challenge. And you know, God, I trust you 459 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,680 that it's all good, that it's all good. 460 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,240 I trust you that God's got this. I trust you, God, that you are 461 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,000 big. You are Lord, you can, you've 462 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,880 got this and it's all good. Come on, just the Bible says all 463 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,520 things are working together for our good. 464 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,480 All things being off, come on, decay that come on, somebody say 465 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,880 all things are working together for my good. 466 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:16,160 So again, all things are working together for my good. 467 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,480 It's all good. Somebody shout Hallelujah. 468 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:24,400 Put your eyes together. Yes, God's got this. 469 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,960 That's the glory zone. Now, let me tell you a true 470 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,360 story of the trailer that we've watched that proves this name 471 00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:35,480 was Delia Knox and the gospel singer and the wife of the 472 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,840 pastor. In 1987, she was in a terrible 473 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,160 car accident, left paralysed from the wise dogs. 474 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,760 And so the doctors told that it was permanent, that she would 475 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,720 never walk again. And so for 22 years, Delia left 476 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,120 in a wheelchair. And so no hope from the medical 477 00:27:52,120 --> 00:27:55,160 world. And so the thing that set Delia 478 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,560 apart is she never stopped worshipping. 479 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,720 She never stopped declaring that God is still good. 480 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,440 Even in the difficulty, she never stopped. 481 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,520 She kept on declaring God is still good. 482 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,680 And that is what it means to live in the glory zone. 483 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,680 Not because life is perfect, not because everything is good, but 484 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,960 because God is still worthy. That is your God. 485 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:24,080 And she said that even if I will never walk again, I will still 486 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,680 praise God. I will still praise God even if 487 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,560 I never, ever walk again. Now, that's somebody who knows 488 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,160 that goodness is not based on circumstances. 489 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,560 Goodness is not based on circulations. 490 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,560 Goodness is not based on what you can see. 491 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,240 Goodness is based on who God is. Hallelujah. 492 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:48,200 And so then after 22 years, something shifted. 2010, Delia 493 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,480 went to a revival service. At the conference, you received 494 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,080 prayer. The power of God full the room. 495 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,240 And for the first time in two decades, what she has never felt 496 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,520 for two good decades, for the first time, she's feeling her 497 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,160 legs. My God. 498 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,480 And she what? She did something that the 499 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,680 doctors say. Oh, my God, can you still hear 500 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:08,760 me? Praise God. 501 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,160 OK, well, I'll just swap around you. 502 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,360 This one is the back is still OK. 503 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:13,400 And so, yes, she is. OK. 504 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,400 I'll just go on to this one. Oh, I'm back on there. 505 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,000 And so she did something what the doctor said was impossible 506 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,400 to do. She stood up, the crowd 507 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,560 surrounded and she then just, she started walking. 508 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,400 She was healed and that miracle has been confirmed by doctors. 509 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:33,720 Somebody shot Hallelujah. Ah, glory to God. 510 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,880 Millions around the world has watched that video. 511 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,840 It's the display of the goodness of God. 512 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,320 The video went viral. It has been documented as a 513 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,760 miracle. Hallelujah. 514 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,200 Let me put that update for you. For you could see gospel singer 515 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,800 walks again. 22 years with God still heals today. 516 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:56,520 Come on somebody, put your eyes together for Jesus, my God, 517 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,280 Hallelujah. And so her story is a miracle 518 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,720 testimony that the glory zone is real, that the goodness of God 519 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,520 still heals. God still heals today, 520 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,120 Hallelujah. We serve a miracle looking God. 521 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,880 He's a healing God.

Now here's the key. 524 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:25,280 She trusted that God is still good in and through the pain, 525 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,200 even in the world. She stayed thankful. 526 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,960 Even though life did not make sense, even though she was in 527 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,880 the wheelchair, stuck there, she still stayed thankful and 528 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,240 grateful, turning up, worshipping God. 529 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,760 And here's what I need you to grab hold of the dice. 530 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,760 If God did it for Delia, he can do it for you. 531 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:56,160 His goodness could raise her up. He glory can raise you too. 532 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,960 If you could do it for her, you could do it for you and for me 533 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,080 today.
