00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,240
Welcome to the official podcast 
of Rock Hill Baptist Church 2 

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,480
where we are focused on 
glorifying God, spreading the 

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,840
gospel, and making disciples of 
Jesus Christ right here in the 

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,520
heart of Greenville, SC. 
Each week we bring you a life 

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,600
changing word from our Senior 
Pastor, Pastor Matthew D Long 

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,760
Junior, or one of our anointed 
guest speakers. 

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,920
We pray this message strengthens
your faith, deepens your 

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,479
understanding, and empowers you 
to elevate in every area of your

9
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,840
life. 
Let's join the service already 

10
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:54,840
First Chronicles chapter 28. 
Thank you, Lord, verse #1 says. 

11
00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:01,800
And David assembled all the 
Princess of Israel, the Princess

12
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,200
of the tribes, and the captains 
of the companies that ministered

13
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:12,520
to the king by chorus, and the 
captains over the thousands, and

14
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,800
captains over the hundreds, and 
the stewards over all the 

15
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:21,320
substance and possession of the 
king and of his sons, with the 

16
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:24,280
officers, and with the mighty 
men, and with all the valiant 

17
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,200
men unto Jerusalem. 
Verse 2. 

18
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,320
Then David the king stood up 
upon his feet and said, Hear me,

19
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:42,800
my own brethren and my people, 
As for me, I had in my heart to 

20
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,080
build a House of rest for the 
ark of the coming of the Lord, 

21
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,960
and for the footstool of our 
God, and had made ready for the 

22
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,360
building. 
But God said unto me, Thou shalt

23
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:01,520
not build a house for my name, 
because thou has been a man of 

24
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,840
war and has shed blood. 
How be it? 

25
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:10,560
Verse 4 The Lord God of Israel 
chose me before all the House of

26
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,400
my father, to be king over 
Israel forever. 

27
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,800
For he had chosen Judah to be 
the ruler, and of the House of 

28
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,040
Judah, the House of my father. 
And among the sons of my father,

29
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,520
he likened me to make me king 
over all Israel and of all my 

30
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,120
sons. 
For the Lord that have given me 

31
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,720
many sons, he had chosen Solomon
my son, to sit upon the throne 

32
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,360
of the Kingdom of the Lord of 
Israel. 

33
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:48,160
And he said unto me, Solomon, 
thy son shall build my house and

34
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:54,520
my courts, for I have chosen him
to be my son, and I will be his 

35
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,200
father. 
Moreover, I will establish his 

36
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,040
Kingdom forever, if he be 
consistent to do commandments 

37
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:08,000
and my judgment as at this day. 
Verse 8. 

38
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,440
Now, therefore, in the sight of 
all Israel, the congregation of 

39
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:20,880
the Lord, and in the audience of
our God, keep and seek for all 

40
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,080
the commandments of the Lord 
your God, that she may possess 

41
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:32,240
this good land and leave it for 
an inheritance for your children

42
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,480
after you forever the word of 
God, for the people of God. 

43
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,920
Thanks be unto God, praise the 
Lord. 

44
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,280
If you don't mind, help me out. 
Turn to the neighbor and say, 

45
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:54,880
Hey, neighbor, are you OK? 
All right, all right, help me 

46
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:55,800
out. 
Turn to somebody and say hey, 

47
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:01,040
neighbor, are you OK? 
OK, check on them. 

48
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,400
Check on them. 
We got a ride to go and I'm 

49
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,960
going to need everybody on the 
board. 

50
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,440
Help me get around this little 
game. 

51
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,520
OK, let me get. 
I'm going to need everybody in 

52
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,080
the ship, so let me get across 
sea. 

53
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,080
They like that one better. 
Everybody getting the caboose so

54
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,600
they can get them. 
OK, I want to share in Part 2 of

55
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:26,560
I got my daddy's blueprints from
a three word subject. 

56
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,000
And if you don't mind, I'm going
to make sure that you stay with 

57
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,360
me by exercising your voice. 
And so help me out, turn to 

58
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,920
name, say hey, neighbor, get it 
together, get it together. 

59
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,040
I'm going to preach from the 
thought. 

60
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,080
Get it together. 
The word together comes from an 

61
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:48,800
old English word to Godre, which
means in a body or in union. 

62
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,760
It's a compound of two and 
gathered. 

63
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,480
So when we say get it together, 
we're not talking about making 

64
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,760
things look neat, we're talking 
about making things aligned. 

65
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,920
Help me out. 
Say, aligned, aligned, ordered, 

66
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,440
set, fitted, framed, get it 
together. 

67
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,600
From Genesis to Revelation. 
God works not just through 

68
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,560
individuals, but through 
intentional union. 

69
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,480
When God said let us make in 
Genesis, he was speaking within 

70
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,680
the divine counsel of the 
Godhead. 

71
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,080
You know that the Father, the 
Son, and the Holy Spirit 

72
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,680
demonstrating that the real 
power is never in competition. 

73
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,000
It's in concert. 
Lord, I started preaching before

74
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,960
I even got into preaching. 
I'm going to say that one more 

75
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,320
time that real power is never in
competition. 

76
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,400
It's in concern. 
I once heard of a small Alabama 

77
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,440
town whose only bridge washed 
out in the storm. 

78
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,360
They didn't raid on FEMA. 
They didn't raid on a bailout. 

79
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,600
But every Saturday, black 
farmers and white teachers, 

80
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,960
immigrants and elders and youth 
came together and they rebuilt 

81
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,360
that, that bridge brick by brick
together because what they 

82
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,520
couldn't do individually, they 
accomplished collectively. 

83
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,000
That that's, that's that's where
we are in between the black and 

84
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,760
white pages of the book before 
you or the electronic device 

85
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,360
from which you may be reading. 
From where? 

86
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,160
Where It's not just the passing 
down of a sketch. 

87
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,560
It's it's, it's not just the 
passing down of a plan. 

88
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,720
But check this out for today's 
lesson. 

89
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,880
It's really the releasing of 
dimensions of a divine 

90
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,400
blueprints. 
He's not just giving Solomon an 

91
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,880
assignment. 
He's gathering the people to 

92
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,880
build together. 
Because before bricks go down, 

93
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,280
relationships must be built. 
Oh, thank you, Thank you that I,

94
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,800
I needed that before the walls 
were raised. 

95
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,400
The people must be ready. 
Matter of fact. 

96
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,360
Come here. 
Oxford Languages. 

97
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,920
Oxford Languages defines ready 
as in a suitable state for an 

98
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:08,160
activity, action, or situation, 
or fully prepared. 

99
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,600
Let's hear me find 3 movements 
of the text. 

100
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,720
If I can get your help, I think 
I can push through pretty fast. 

101
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,640
3 movements in the text that I 
believe are so pivotal when we 

102
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,760
look at getting get together #1 
it's in verse #8 I'm going to 

103
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,880
jump around in the text. 
It says now therefore in the 

104
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,880
sight of all Israel, the 
congregation of the Lord, and in

105
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:36,200
the audience of our God, keep 
and seek for all from the 

106
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,560
commandments of the Lord your 
God, that you may possess the 

107
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,160
good land, this good land and 
leave it for an inheritance for 

108
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,360
your children after you forever.
Number one, the first movement 

109
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,480
in the sex is you got to be 
aligned for assignment. 

110
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,440
You got to be aligned for 
assignment. 

111
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,280
David doesn't start with 
architecture, he starts with 

112
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,760
alignment. 
David calls everybody together 

113
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,120
verse #1 he does not call just 
anybody together. 

114
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,880
He calls very specific 
individuals together with 

115
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,840
influence, with strategy, with 
know how, with abilities. 

116
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,800
He calls them all together. 
Check this out But he does not 

117
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,320
call them together to give them 
some type of architectural 

118
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,200
rendering. 
He calls them together to say 

119
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,840
that everybody here needs to 
align. 

120
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,040
I think my that is going to die 
on me, Dick. 

121
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,880
But he tells them all that they 
need to align for what God's 

122
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,240
about to do. 
You know why? 

123
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,240
Because you can't build the 
House of God with divided 

124
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,159
hearts. 
Let me say it plainly. 

125
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:44,600
Legacy isn't personal, it's 
communal. 

126
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,360
Come here, come here, let me 
save one more time. 

127
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,840
You got caught up in my 
distraction. 

128
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,240
I say legacy isn't personal, 
it's communal. 

129
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,560
Let me give you a homiletical 
highlight real quick, if you 

130
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:00,120
don't mind. 
Unity is the mortar for every 

131
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,760
move of God. 
Unity is the mortar for every 

132
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,680
move of God. 
Doctor Cheryl Sanders said it 

133
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:09,280
like this. 
She said unity without 

134
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,160
uniformity is the foundation of 
authentic community. 

135
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,080
I said it so fast it went over 
your head. 

136
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:22,360
I said unity without uniformity 
is the foundation of authentic 

137
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,160
community. 
Come here, let's go back to your

138
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,400
Bible. 
You remember in Genesis 11 when 

139
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,600
the people were united at the 
Tower of Babel, God himself said

140
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,400
nothing they planned to do will 
be impossible for them. 

141
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,560
Let me give you some more Bible 
Acts chapter 2. 

142
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,400
It was when they were all in the
upper room together after being 

143
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,240
gathered, that there on one 
accord, the accord, the Holy 

144
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:53,160
Spirit fell like fire. 
Let's go back to the Gospels, 

145
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,200
Matthew chapter 18 verses 19 and
20. 

146
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:01,760
Jesus says if any 2 of you agree
on earth about anything and you 

147
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,320
ask, it will be done for you by 
my Father in heaven. 

148
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,960
If you understand the beauty of 
coming together, that it is the 

149
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,240
mortar. 
It is the mortar that comes and 

150
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,920
causes the foundation to be 
substantiated. 

151
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,480
You can give me another mic. 
Can we switch it out? 

152
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,440
Raise the Lord and Psalms 133. 
You know that one, right? 

153
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,640
Psalms 133 says how good and 
pleasant it is for brethren to 

154
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,920
dwell together. 
It's like it's like oil. 

155
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,520
It's like oil. 
Then it runs down the beard. 

156
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,040
But then there the Lord commands
the blessing. 

157
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,680
No, I don't like this one. 
I don't like this. 

158
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:40,800
And this don't sound good at 
all. 

159
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,520
Get me back. 
Put the mics, put the batteries 

160
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:50,000
in. 
Lord, they threw me off Lord 

161
00:10:50,160 --> 00:11:16,480
Jesus. 
You can talk to me. 

162
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,080
There we go, that's it. 
I need to hear me. 

163
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,600
Psalms 133. 
It says how good and pleasant it

164
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,160
is when God's people or brother 
and Joel together live together 

165
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,800
in unity. 
For there the Lord commands the 

166
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,040
blessing. 
It's there, it's there, it's 

167
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,160
there. 
Help me out real quick and turn 

168
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,560
to your neighbor and say it's 
there, it's there, it's there. 

169
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,720
Where there is unity, there is 
power, but where there is 

170
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,720
disunity, there is delay. 
We just saw it just now that 

171
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,920
where there is alignment, there 
is advancement, but where there 

172
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,520
is division, there is 
destruction. 

173
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,760
Disobedience doesn't just block 
your blessing, it breaks your 

174
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,000
building. 
That was so good. 

175
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,080
I better say it again. 
I said that disobedience doesn't

176
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,120
block your blessing. 
It breaks your building. 

177
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,600
Come here. 
You're building about, you're 

178
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,040
building a momentum, you're 
building of strategy. 

179
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,800
You're building of wherewithal. 
You're building of self 

180
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,120
character, self-sufficiency in 
God, all that here. 

181
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,960
You better know that before we 
move forward, we have to get it 

182
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,240
together, not just in the house,
but in our own hearts. 

183
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,560
The God builds where there is 
obedience and order. 

184
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,120
I'm say it again that God builds
where there is obedience and 

185
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,000
order because we have to be 
jointed, we have to be 

186
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,760
connected. 
I'll look at the text again. 

187
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:03,640
Verse #8 shows us that there was
a combining of all of these 

188
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,760
people and all these people were
not just anybody. 

189
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,800
But verse 21 tells us the 
specificities of who as well as 

190
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,320
verse one. 
It's important at the start, in 

191
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,240
the middle, and the end of all 
of who were there. 

192
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,080
David starts calling names not 
just to honor, but to arrange 

193
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,280
you ready. 
Because a disconnected body 

194
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,720
can't carry divine weight. 
You can't build anything 

195
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,960
significant by yourself. 
Your next move needs covenant 

196
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:41,080
joints, not casual joints. 
The first movement of the text 

197
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:43,880
is that they had to be aligned 
for assignment. 

198
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,520
I better move fast. 
The second movement of the text 

199
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,400
is still in this text and verse 
#9 it says, and thou Solomon, my

200
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:59,560
son, know that the God of thy 
father, and serve him with a 

201
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:05,000
perfect heart and with a will. 
I'm going to make sure you had 

202
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,360
your Bible. 
I want you to Fact Check me. 

203
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,440
That's that's what the Bible 
say. 

204
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:15,640
I ain't saying that with the 
willing mind for the Lord. 

205
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:29,440
The Lord searches what all 
hearts, and understandeth all 

206
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,160
the imaginations of the world. 
Thoughts. 

207
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:41,080
He says If thou seek Him, he 
will be found of thee and now 

208
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,960
check this out. 
But if thou forsake him, he will

209
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,280
cast the off forever. 
Let me move a little faster. 

210
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,360
Verse #10 says so take heed now 
for the Lord have chosen thee, 

211
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,800
you to build a house for the 
sanctuary. 

212
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,600
Be strong and do it. 
The very second movement of sex 

213
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,560
is that you got to be called 
with clarity. 

214
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,160
Let that one sit in your suit 
for a little bit. 

215
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,000
I said you got to be called with
clarity. 

216
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,080
Many brothers and sisters. 
David isn't just handing Solomon

217
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:21,280
some rolled up blueprints. 
He's anchoring him and the 

218
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,800
people. 
Check this out in the vision and

219
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,520
the mission. 
David knows something. 

220
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,720
Before the work can rise, the 
heart has to bow. 

221
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,480
Before the assignment can be 
completed, the alignment has to 

222
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,440
be clear. 
Come here. 

223
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,120
My I can hear my pastor now. 
He's he would say if you stand 

224
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,040
under it long enough, you'll 
stand over it soon enough. 

225
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,080
You, you can't lead what you 
haven't learned to follow. 

226
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,800
You can't carry a mission you 
haven't submitted to. 

227
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:58,640
So David says this next era 
needs victors, not violators. 

228
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,000
He says we need builders, not 
Breakers. 

229
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,880
We need faithful hands, not 
flashy egos. 

230
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,280
That's why David has these hard 
conversations, because he knows 

231
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,760
pride can't be in this next 
chapter. 

232
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,320
I'm going to say it again. 
I said pride can't be in this 

233
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,960
next chapter. 
Spiritual arrogance has no place

234
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:29,000
in this next generation and 
mission drifting will wreck the 

235
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:34,360
work before it even begins. 
So David says essentially that 

236
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,960
everyone needs to understand the
details, understand the weights,

237
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,960
and understand the why. 
Because what God is doing isn't 

238
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,880
just for Solomon, it's for the 
next generation. 

239
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,080
Help me out and tap your own 
self on the chest and say it's 

240
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,200
for the next generation. 
It's for the next generation. 

241
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,800
Listen, the word together, at 
its root, it's together. 

242
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,440
You cannot be together if you're
not gathered around something 

243
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,400
greater than you. 
And David gathers them, not 

244
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,520
around his reputation, not 
around his past victories, but 

245
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,839
around the mission of God. 
I feel like preaching this is 

246
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:22,079
not just about finishing David's
dream. 

247
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,240
It's about stewarding God's 
design that this isn't just 

248
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,320
about caring for tradition, it's
about caring forward 

249
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,480
transformation. 
So he makes sure that everybody 

250
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:40,000
here realize that we've got to 
be anchored him the same thing. 

251
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,720
I I know you're called, I know 
I'm called, but you need to have

252
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,240
clarity with your calling. 
The worst thing is to give 

253
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,240
somebody a tool without teaching
them how to use it, because the 

254
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,680
tool in the wrong person's hand 
becomes a weapon. 

255
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,720
So he says you all here need to 
be anchored and what we're doing

256
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:06,800
and where we're going and who's 
leading because vision gives 

257
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,640
direction and mission gives 
discipline and alignment gives 

258
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,480
power and elevation always comes
with examination. 

259
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,080
I know that was tight, that was 
tight, but I better save one 

260
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,920
more time for your notes and for
those online that that vision. 

261
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:29,320
Vision gives direction, mission 
gives discipline and alignment 

262
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,720
gives power and elevation always
comes with examination. 

263
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:39,760
I know, I know, I know. 
I told you this is the year to 

264
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,760
elevate. 
I know, I know, I know. 

265
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,960
We had some good messages and a 
lot of people talk about 

266
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,960
promotion and I even talked 
about going up. 

267
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,560
But can I tell you something? 
The higher you go up, the more 

268
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:58,320
you have to examine. 
Lord, that's tough right there. 

269
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,360
I said the higher you go up, the
more you have to examine because

270
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:06,000
your your perspective now 
changes. 

271
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,080
And so now you've got to look at
every tiny detail differently 

272
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,120
than when you were on ground 
floor. 

273
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,880
In this year of elevate. 
You've got to examine so that 

274
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,120
you can make sure that there's 
power because of your alignment 

275
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,560
and you're living in discipline 
according with the mission, and 

276
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,360
you're going in the direction of
the vision. 

277
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,000
I'm going to let you know here 
real quick that if you can't 

278
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,080
follow the vision, you'll 
frustrate the mission. 

279
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,640
OK, let me say it another way, 
that if you can't follow the 

280
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,040
direction, you'll frustrate the 
discipline. 

281
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,400
It's nothing like a little 
child. 

282
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,200
Nothing like a little child when
you out trying to go and do 

283
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,400
something, glory to God and you 
know what you need to go do. 

284
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,880
But then they get a little 
antsy. 

285
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,440
They get the moving, they get 
the swaying, they get the 

286
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,720
twirling, they get the going and
they touch to cause you to be 

287
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:03,480
frustrated because you know 
where you got to go, but because

288
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,560
they are unsettled. 
Lord, I feel like breaching then

289
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,880
it causes this level of 
frustration to your mission. 

290
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,560
My name, brothers and sisters, 
God does not choose the strong 

291
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,760
to do great things. 
He shrimpens the chosen to do 

292
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,240
divine things. 
And as we move forward, my name,

293
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,800
brothers and sisters, I need you
to realize that the text is 

294
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,840
teaching us that we've got to 
get it together. 

295
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:30,720
We got to get it together within
our own selves. 

296
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,040
We got to get it together within
our families. 

297
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,280
We got to get it together within
our workplaces. 

298
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,160
We've got to get it together 
within our community. 

299
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,240
We got to get it together within
our city. 

300
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,000
We got to get it together within
our. 

301
00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:44,280
State we got to. 
Get it together within our 

302
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,080
country. 
Lord knows we got to get it 

303
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,840
together in this world because 
if not, if not prize going to 

304
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,680
try to slide in and arrogance is
going to try to rule and the 

305
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,440
mission will drift from gods and
goal. 

306
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,600
Now, now, now, after David had 
set the vision and aligned the 

307
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,360
mission be moving to this final 
point. 

308
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,520
Because a vision without the 
right people is just a dream, 

309
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,080
but a vision with the right 
people becomes a destiny. 

310
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,200
It's one thing to know what God 
has called you to do. 

311
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,360
It's another to know who God has
sent to help you do it. 

312
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,320
And that's where we find 
ourselves in the third movement 

313
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,200
of this text. 
In First Chronicles chapter 28 

314
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:33,120
and verse #20 David says to 
Solomon his son, Son, be strong 

315
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:36,160
and of good courage. 
Is that what your Bible says? 

316
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,360
He tells him and do it. 
And there's those colons. 

317
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:43,440
I love the colons because here 
he tells them fear. 

318
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:51,640
Fear not nor be dismayed, for 
the Lord God, even my God, will 

319
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,560
be with thee. 
He will not fail thee nor 

320
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,280
forsake thee, until thou hast 
finished all the work for the 

321
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,640
service of the Lord of this 
house. 21 And behold, the 

322
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:12,160
courses of the priests and the 
Levites, even they shall be with

323
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:15,880
thee. 
And for all the service of the 

324
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,320
House of the Lord, thou shall be
with thee for all manner of 

325
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:25,360
workmanship, every thrilling and
skillful man for any manner of 

326
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:28,000
service. 
Also the Princess and all the 

327
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,200
people will be holy at thy 
commandment. 

328
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,560
The third movement, this text, 
as I hasten to my clothes, is 

329
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:40,160
that there's shrimp in support. 
There's strength in support. 

330
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,400
I was I was fortunate enough to 
have a conversation with Prophet

331
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,200
Todd Hall a couple weeks ago in 
in this back office of Apostle 

332
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,760
Sammy Smith's church at Grace 
Cathedral upstate. 

333
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,120
And we have no relationship 
other than knowing each other 

334
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:55,800
and preaching circles. 
He said, I'm drawn to you. 

335
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,920
He said, what's your name again?
I said, Matthew, He's a long. 

336
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,560
He said, I know you, I know you.
He said, there's something 

337
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,760
different about you. 
If he's I'm going to tell you 

338
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,840
something and, and, and, and he 
said, he said, you know, I got a

339
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,040
problem with your generation. 
I said, OK, He said. 

340
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,440
He said your generation want to 
do it. 

341
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,280
He said, but you want to do it 
on your own. 

342
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,880
I said, OK, tell me, tell me 
more. 

343
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,440
Tell me more profit. 
He said. 

344
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,440
He said your generation ain't 
like my generation. 

345
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:34,200
He said, you guys think that if 
you started, you originated, he 

346
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,120
said, but you got to go back to 
who originated all of it. 

347
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:40,040
I said, OK, all right, all 
right. 

348
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,800
He says, he says, he says, he 
said to me, he said long, He 

349
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:51,840
said, you can't forgive your 
daddy's father and your daddy 

350
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,440
daddy's father. 
And I said, OK, all right, 

351
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,960
because I'm feeling like this is
real convoluted, you know, 

352
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,120
praise the Lord, you get me 
together. 

353
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,280
I leave the God for a whole 
generation and I and I take it 

354
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,000
because it was wisdom. 
It was strong wisdom, he said. 

355
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:12,360
He said you got to be like 
Elijah was the Elijah. 

356
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,760
He said that you got to take 
your own coat off and put your 

357
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,480
daddy's coat on. 
You got to take your own mantle 

358
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,320
off and put your daddy's mantle 
on, he said when Elijah caught 

359
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,400
the mantle from his from his 
father Elijah, he said he 

360
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,360
immediately turned back and his 
prayer was that the God of 

361
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:34,720
Elijah would smoke the the 
waters. 

362
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,360
He said you've got to pray the 
prayers of your father and your 

363
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:41,280
grandfather. 
He said you've got to go back 

364
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,040
and realize what God has done 
for generations before you. 

365
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:49,200
That even though this is your 
time on the scene, this is not 

366
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,000
the first time God's been on the
scene. 

367
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,280
And I'm going to tell you, my 
dear brothers and sisters, that 

368
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,320
as I hasten to a close that 
David says to Solomon, you're 

369
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:04,120
not in this by yourself. 
He says, hear me, You cannot 

370
00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:07,760
fulfill a God size vision with 
the me size mindset. 

371
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,160
He said you need the right 
people, the right support and 

372
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,760
the right system. 
So he begins here in the text to

373
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,360
identify three groups that 
everyone in the room need of. 

374
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:20,040
The first group are the 
carriers. 

375
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,080
Help me out, say carriers. 
They're they're the faithful 

376
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,800
ones. 
They're the congregation, the 

377
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,080
volunteers, the people who 
helped shoulder the load. 

378
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,800
These are the faithful ones, the
congregation. 

379
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,720
I'm going to say it again. 
The volunteers. 

380
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,160
The people who shoulder the 
load. 

381
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,920
I'm going to say again, they're 
the faithful ones, the 

382
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,400
congregation, the volunteers, 
the people who shoulder the 

383
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,160
load. 
OK, They're the friends who show

384
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,200
up every time you got something 
going on. 

385
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,360
The family members who always 
cook extra just to make sure you

386
00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:53,760
don't run out, he says. 
They may not get the credit, but

387
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,080
they carry the cross with you. 
They show up, they lift up and 

388
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,640
they hold up. 
And the first group of the 

389
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,040
carriers, the carriers, but then
the second group in the text are

390
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,400
the covers. 
Help me out. 

391
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,320
Say covers, covers. 
These are the spiritual leaders,

392
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,720
intercessions and edit and 
elders, the ones who cover you 

393
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,840
when you can't cover yourself. 
I think these are the spiritual 

394
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,640
leaders who make sure that 
you're good. 

395
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,520
They go to God for you. 
They labor and prayer. 

396
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,880
They fast for you. 
They lay hands. 

397
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,480
They they live prayers. 
They cover you in the secret 

398
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,480
place when you're too weak to 
fight in the public space. 

399
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,520
But the thirdly is the 
creatives. 

400
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:36,560
Glory to God, help me out, say 
creatives, creators, these are 

401
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,920
the builders, the thinkers, the 
planners, the artisans, the 

402
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,960
workmen. 
They take what's heavy and they 

403
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,400
make it earthly. 
Let me give you another one for 

404
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,880
this. 
And they take what's heavenly, 

405
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,640
how they make it earthly. 
They take what seems to be too 

406
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:56,000
hard for you and they bring it 
into shape and strategy and 

407
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,720
skill to what God has put in 
your spirit. 

408
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:04,120
He says the son Solomon that 
you're going to need all of 

409
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,520
these groups. 
Let me read it for you. 

410
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,240
Verse 21 he says and behold the 
courses of the priests and the 

411
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:14,800
Levites those there are those 
who cover but then he tells them

412
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,640
that every manner of a 
workmanship of the skillful man.

413
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,280
You're going to need them too. 
Those are the creatives in the 

414
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,680
text just in case you want to 
Fact Check me but then he also 

415
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,600
talks about the carriers. 
The carriers were the Levites 

416
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,360
who were signed not just to help
cover but also to carry some 

417
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:36,120
weights. 
So here in the he said you're 

418
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:40,000
going to need all of these 
people because there's something

419
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,840
greater coming in the future and
you can't do this by yourself. 

420
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,080
I like the scripture, Sister 
Shirley, because here we see 

421
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,680
that every generation was 
represented. 

422
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,280
Don't miss this. 
Every generation stood him, the 

423
00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:01,760
assembly of the king, the elders
who remembered the ark, and the 

424
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,120
youth who only knew the stories.
Because everybody, he needs 

425
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:08,880
somebody. 
Him, the blueprint. 

426
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,920
I've got to get out of here for 
real. 

427
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,920
But I want to let you know that 
God gave you the vision. 

428
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,520
God's already gathered the 
village. 

429
00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:24,720
I said if God gave you the 
vision, he's already gathered 

430
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,720
the village. 
And you don't have to chase 

431
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,280
them. 
You just have to recognize them.

432
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,160
You got to roam today that you 
can be healed. 

433
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:42,800
What you won't bless her and you
can't sustain what you won't 

434
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:48,640
structure, and you can't reach 
the next level if you refuse to 

435
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,960
trust the next layer. 
So if you're going to try to be 

436
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,040
the whole team, your forfeit the
whole victory. 

437
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,400
Because when God sends people, 
he doesn't send perfect people, 

438
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:09,320
but he sends purpose people. 
They may come broken, but 

439
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:14,080
they're assigned. 
They may come flawed, but 

440
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,760
they're faithful. 
They may come rough around the 

441
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,440
edge, but they're graceful. 
The word. 

442
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:26,440
And so he says, Solomon, the 
vision has been given, the 

443
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:31,000
mission has been clarified, and 
the people are in place. 

444
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:38,200
And he said now it's just time 
for God's glory to fall. 

445
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,160
I'm going to get out of here, 
but I got a story to tell. 

446
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:49,560
You have a member of story about
a man, he who walked past a 

447
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:55,440
group of construction workers, a
massive cathedral, and he saw 

448
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,320
three men working on the same 
Stonewall. 

449
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:03,680
He walked up to the first man 
and said, what are you? 

450
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,560
Doing. 
And the man said I'm laying 

451
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,760
bricks. 
He walks over to the second man 

452
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,560
and asked what are you doing? 
And the man said I'm building a 

453
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,440
wall. 
But when he got to the third man

454
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:22,200
and he said, Sir, what are you 
doing? 

455
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:30,480
And the man stood up tall, wiped
his brow, smiled and said, I'm 

456
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:37,320
building a house for God. 
You see when you gather, when 

457
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,000
you work together, when you lock
arms. 

458
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,280
And. 
Link 

459
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,600
that you're just helping a 
neighbor, and you realize you're

460
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:13,040
part of healing a generation. 
You stop. 

461
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,800
Thinking. 
You're just doing your little 

462
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:22,520
part and you're really lies that
God has positioned you to make a

463
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:27,320
mighty impact. 
It wasn't just a house for God 

464
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,400
they were building. 
God was showing. 

465
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,640
US here. 
He was building a 

466
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,640
representation. 
Of the. 

467
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:40,000
Body of Christ, every brick 
mattered and every stone 

468
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,920
mattered. 
Every hand mattered. 

469
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,480
Every heart. 
Mattered and every. 

470
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:51,160
Voice It all mattered because 
when the. 

471
00:31:51,160 --> 00:32:13,680
Saints of God gather together 
that's why we've. 

472
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:20,720
Got to gather, be together and 
to go further. 

473
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,440
I feel like closing now. 
Help me out real quick. 

474
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,440
Go grab somebody's. 
Hand and say neighbor. 

475
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,560
Y'all disobedient? 
I said grab somebody's hand and 

476
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:41,000
say, neighbor, we gotta go back 
to gathering. 

477
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,560
We've got to go back. 
Come. 

478
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,440
On where y'all at over here you 
got to help me close. 

479
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:54,360
I said you got to go back to 
gathering so that we can be 

480
00:32:55,320 --> 00:33:00,400
together, so that we can go 
further. 

481
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:06,760
We've got to gather, be together
to grow stronger. 

482
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:12,680
We've got to gather, be together
to stand tall. 

483
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:18,920
We've got to gather, be together
to build it better. 

484
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:24,920
We've got to gather to be 
together to last longer. 

485
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:31,080
We've got to gather, be together
to reach higher. 

486
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:38,560
We've got to gather, be together
to reach higher, to dream 

487
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:46,320
bigger, to fight harder, to love
deeper, to heal quicker, to move

488
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,880
faster, to shine brighter, to 
break barriers. 

489
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:59,120
We got together to be together. 
Solve that we can live burdens. 

490
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:06,800
Solve that we can carry vision, 
solve that we can burn purpose. 

491
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:13,440
We go together, so you got to be
together so we can change 

492
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,159
history, touch heaven. 
Tell yourself it's time to get 

493
00:34:17,159 --> 00:34:21,560
it together. 
It's time to get it together. 

494
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:29,679
It's time to get it together. 
It's time to get it together. 

495
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:36,920
It's time to get it together. 
I must say it until it activates

496
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,880
you, it's time to get it 
together. 

497
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:47,960
I'm saying until again in your 
soul, it's time to get it 

498
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,600
together. 
It's time to touch heaven. 

499
00:34:53,360 --> 00:35:00,560
It's time to shake the earth. 
It's time to ignite revival. 

500
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:08,560
It's time to make legacy. 
It's time to race generations, 

501
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:12,400
it's time. 
It's time. 

502
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:19,960
It's time, it's time, it's time.
It's time. 

503
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:26,040
It's time to cross threshold. 
It's time. 

504
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:27,880
I feel you, Lord. 
Hey. 

505
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,960
The unleashed potential. 
It's time. 

506
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,800
The Yellow Bay destinies. 
It's time. 

507
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,920
Lord knows it's time. 
God knows it's time. 

508
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,320
leave. 
Tell your name. 

509
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,840
It's time. 
To go to another level, I know 

510
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,720
you feel weak. 
In your body, but it's time. 

511
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:07,160
I know you say I'm this whole. 
But it's time, I know. 

512
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,560
You say I ain't got no more 
dreams. 

513
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:15,920
But it's time. 
God's calling you and I for this

514
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,720
time. 
Come out your head, get out your

515
00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:22,160
feelings. 
Step in the glory. 

516
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,560
The glory of the Lord. 
It's time get out your. 

517
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:33,480
Pew to keep getting restricted. 
It's time get out your house. 

518
00:37:34,320 --> 00:39:01,320
God's got more. 
In my last 90 seconds, some of 

519
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,080
us have been living in glory. 
Hallelujah. 

520
00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:07,560
We've been living in functional 
doubt. 

521
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,880
Like we said, I'm going to use 
this as a crutch. 

522
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,120
I'm going to use that as an 
excuse. 

523
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,200
Come on, y'all know me? 
Come up with excuses. 

524
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,760
Lord. 
I'm on a fixed income. 

525
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,040
Lord, I don't get out of bed 
till 12. 

526
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,440
Lord, no, no, no, no, no. 
Get rid of the excuses because 

527
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:27,320
God already know. 
It's crazy how we try to go tell

528
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:28,920
God someday He don't already 
know. 

529
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,800
Like we can fix it and he and 
he's the creator of everything. 

530
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:42,440
He says the Lord is going to be 
with you. 

531
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:47,360
And as he's going through the 
list, he begins to tell Solomon,

532
00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:49,920
not only will the Lord be with 
you. 

533
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,440
Check this out. 
It's in your Bible. 

534
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:57,280
He tells them right there in 
verse 20 that the Lord will not 

535
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:06,360
fail you as as I'm as I move on,
I'm going to I'm going to speak 

536
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:11,760
today to some of us struggling, 
but it seemed like areas in our 

537
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:17,280
life that God failed us. 
That's how we can live in a 

538
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:21,320
place of functional doubt. 
And it's not that I don't 

539
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:26,320
believe God, it's just areas 
that he didn't move how I wanted

540
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,360
them to move. 
He didn't. 

541
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,080
He didn't do it the way I 
expected him to do. 

542
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,000
I kind of told him, this is how 
I need you to do it. 

543
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,640
This is my timeline. 
These are the people I like. 

544
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,520
And he and he just cancelled the
whole thing. 

545
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,440
And some of us not let me walked
away from God because I still 

546
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,960
love God, we still love God, but
we've been loving God. 

547
00:40:52,960 --> 00:41:00,120
But this pain, this pain of of 
that fear of not God failing us.

548
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,200
But this little area has not 
really, we ain't got the victory

549
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,160
there the way we want it. 
So he tells Solomon, he says, 

550
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,800
let me help you out because I 
don't need you to to go into 

551
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,280
this. 
But any, any level of doubt, he 

552
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,480
says, the Lord will not fail 
you. 

553
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,640
Today I'm going to tell you that
the Lord will not fail you. 

554
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,400
I, I, I know what experiences 
you may have had. 

555
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:32,600
I know you may sit in the state,
but you still have those 

556
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,880
questions. 
But before you close your eyes, 

557
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:41,040
Hallelujah, glory. 
I want to echo the word of the 

558
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,880
Lord to you and let you know 
that the Lord will not fail you.

559
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:46,680
That's a good place to receive 
that. 

560
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,440
I said the Lord will not fail 
you. 

561
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,440
The Lord will not. 
Man may fail you. 

562
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,800
And the truth of the matter is a
lot of things we have blamed on 

563
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,520
God. 
Really we're at the hands of 

564
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,120
man. 
But I'm going to let you know 

565
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,440
that the Lord will not fail you.
Come here, Paul. 

566
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:16,520
Paul, I hear you in Romans 
chapter 8 verse 28 and we know 

567
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:27,840
that all Hallelujah are working 
together. 

568
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,720
Glory. 
I'm sorry Hallelujah, that it is

569
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:35,840
not done working, even though 
you may be feeling He. 

570
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:49,960
It's all working together for 
the good of them who love the 

571
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:57,520
Lord to this out and are called 
according not to yours, not to 

572
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:07,240
mine, but to God's not done 
until it ends on a good note. 

573
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,320
I don't care what you have been 
through in life. 

574
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,840
I don't care what you might have
been struggling with in your 

575
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,640
heart. 
I don't care what but you've 

576
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,400
been wrestling with in your mind
until it ends on a good note. 

577
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,320
God's not done with it. 
So you can't go into this next 

578
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:29,680
phase still bothered. 
But you got to go into this 

579
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:38,920
phase when abundance a faith in 
God that he's called me for this

580
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:43,600
time. 
That's why we got to work on our

581
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,760
relationships because there's 
some areas that we have failed 

582
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:52,840
each other and they ain't even 
using that little crack to come 

583
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:57,040
in between and to get and cause 
rifts in between relationships. 

584
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,040
Some of that spinning yourself 
first, but those riffs in your 

585
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:06,440
family relationships riffs and 
those work relationships riffs 

586
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,080
and community relationships 
riffs and personal, I'm sorry, 

587
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:15,160
professional relationships. 
Now we got to come back and be 

588
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:20,560
aligned for this assignment. 
I'll let you know, but we got to

589
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:24,120
get it together. 
You may not know Jesus and the 

590
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:28,160
free partner of your sin. 
I would invite you to get to 

591
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,600
know for yourself. 
The building of this house was 

592
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:37,800
not just for the people to spend
money, it was not for them to 

593
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:43,800
exert labor, but it was for God 
to have a place for his presence

594
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:48,640
to rest. 
It was for God to to dwell with 

595
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:53,640
them, not in a temporary 
circumstances situation, but in 

596
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:58,920
a permanent place. 
They didn't realize, but what 

597
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:03,240
they were building was a model, 
a typology of Christ. 

598
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:11,520
Paul comes back and tells us 
that we are the body of Christ. 

599
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:17,240
He says if the hand says to the 
foot, I don't need you. 

600
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,520
If the ear says to the eye, what
good are you? 

601
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,720
That's what they've been doing. 
All those different types of 

602
00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:31,240
individuals, They had to come 
together and realize, I may not 

603
00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:36,920
do what you do, you may not do 
what I do, but we got to gather 

604
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:42,160
ourselves together. 
We got to get together and we 

605
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:47,440
got to do and be all that God 
has put inside of us, to be all 

606
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,120
that God has put inside of us to
do. 

607
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,360
Listen, God's calling you right 
now. 

608
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,640
You're under the sound of my 
voice. 

609
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,640
You've heard this message. 
And he said, you know what? 

610
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:00,240
I thought the goosebumps, it was
cold, it was hot. 

611
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:07,680
You know, that's God pulling and
tugging on you saying I want to 

612
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,240
be your Lord and Savior. 
I'm already Lord and Savior. 

613
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,760
I just want to be yours. 
I want you to acknowledge it 

614
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,600
today. 
The Bible says you confess your 

615
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,480
mouth, believe in your heart, 
thou shalt be saved. 

616
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,600
It is not that we are not saved,
but we're going to sit together 

617
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,600
to this out together. 
We're going to say it. 

618
00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:28,880
We're going to be encouragement
