1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,240 Come on, can we give that hand clap unto the Lord this morning? 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,880 Oh come on, can we? Be thankful into his name today. 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,720 He's doing wonderful. Things, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,720 Hallelujah. What an awesome God we serve. 5 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:23,480 He's truly doing great things around here and I believe this 6 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,160 is an atmosphere. There's an atmosphere of praise, 7 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,960 there's an atmosphere of worship and there's an atmosphere of 8 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,240 expectation in this house and. And I believe in that kind of. 9 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,240 Atmosphere the impossible becomes possible and the 10 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:44,080 miraculous can happen right here in our midst and love what I 11 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:49,320 feel in this house today and my God, he's doing great things and 12 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,160 doing great things. It's great honor to be here this 13 00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:55,920 morning and to be here this week. 14 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,200 We give honor to Pastor and Sister McGee. 15 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,280 We do love them and appreciate their leadership and their labor 16 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,160 in the Kingdom of God. And I believe they're deserving 17 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,840 of a hand this morning. We appreciate them very, very, 18 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,920 very much. And take a look around and you 19 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,960 can tell they're making a great impact in the Kingdom of God, 20 00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:20,680 not, not just here this morning, but look around yesterday. 21 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,480 And those things don't happen by accident. 22 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,760 It's a, it's a labor of love. And, and I, I believe your 23 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,960 pastor and his wife and family are evident of individuals that 24 00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:37,480 are laboring for the Kingdom of God so that souls will not be 25 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,120 left behind and not honor you today and appreciate you very, 26 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,600 very, very much. And if you've got your Bibles, 27 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,280 I'd like to take our attention to the book of Genesis. 28 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:59,720 Genesis chapter #30 I don't know what I've done, but it's. 29 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:09,000 Just the first service. We just in the will of God, I 30 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,040 guess We're just in the will. Of God I was. 31 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,080 Told a great evangelist. Just picks up where the pastor 32 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:23,680 left off and so I'm just trying to fulfill the will of God, my 33 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,960 Mama. I don't know what trouble I'm in 34 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:31,360 already, but come back tonight and maybe we'll see what the 35 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,560 Lord has in store. Genesis chapter 30. 36 00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:42,880 I'm all while you're turning there, also give honor to my 37 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,800 wife. I love her, appreciate her, 38 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,240 honor her. We just celebrated 8 years of 39 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,800 marriage this week and so I'm so very grateful for her. 40 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,040 God knows she's the only one that can put up with me and and 41 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,560 I honor her and looking forward, I think she told me sometimes 42 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,840 I'm not a good listener and God's helping me. 43 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,960 But I think she told me she's 19 weeks today. 44 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,720 And so we're where am I right? Am I right? 45 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,040 Yeah. So we're so we're about halfway 46 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,520 through. I think she got some some app or 47 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,880 something said that I think he's 6 inches long and I can't 48 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,600 remember. I think he's an ounce now or 49 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,600 something. I'm really not for sure. 50 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,640 But a half a pound, a half a pound I think is what it is. 51 00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:33,400 And she said, I guess that's what I gained this week. 52 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,320 I don't know, but but I love my wife. 53 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,280 I honor her and certainly looking forward to to what God's 54 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,200 going to do with our Son and we're we're excited about that. 55 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,880 And I just believe the Lord has great things in store for us 56 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,400 this week and Genesis. Chapter 30 verse number. 57 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,160 One, when you're there, shout Amen. 58 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,120 I'm going to do a little bit of reading this morning, but one 59 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,160 man said, if you read plenty of scripture and preach bad, at 60 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,920 least you still go home with the Word. 61 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,360 And so and so this morning I'm just hoping you go home with the 62 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,600 word. Genesis chapter 30, verse #1 The 63 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,240 Bible says when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob, no children. 64 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,040 Rachel envied her sister and said unto Jacob, give me 65 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,880 children or else I die. Drop with me to verse #8 Rachel 66 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,560 said, with great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister and I 67 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,920 have prevailed. And she called his name Neptula. 68 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,440 Fast. Forward with me two chapters 69 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:47,480 later genesis 32 and verse #24 the Bible says that Jacob was 70 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:52,320 left alone and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking 71 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,720 of the day, and when he saw. That he prevailed not. 72 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,600 Against him he touched the hollow of his thigh and. 73 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,080 The Hollow of Jacob. 'S thigh was out of joint as he 74 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,640 wrestled with him. And he said let me go. 75 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,960 For the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee 76 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,840 go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, What is 77 00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:16,280 thy name? And he said, Jacob. 78 00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:18,600 And he said That name shall. Be called no more. 79 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,560 Jacob but Israel, for as a Prince has thou power with God 80 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,400 and with men, and has prevailed. And Jacob asked him and said, 81 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,480 Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it 82 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,880 that thou doest ask after my name? 83 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,960 And he blessed him there. And Jacob called the name of the 84 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,120 place penal. For I have seen God face to 85 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:50,560 face, and my life is preserved. We live in a culture that 86 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:56,920 consistently celebrates competition, but there's got to 87 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:02,320 be a church that's willing to contend, Jude wrote in his 88 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,360 epistle. He said It was needful me for me 89 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,760 to write unto you, and exhort you, that you should earnestly 90 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,480 contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the Saints. 91 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,160 I want to preach. To us this morning, with the 92 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,400 help of the Lord, from this subject, from rivalry to 93 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,240 revelation, from rivalry to revelations, would you lift your 94 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,640 hands? Would you lift your hearts? 95 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,400 One more time. And would you talk to the Lord 96 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,920 this morning? God, we love you. 97 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:31,600 We. Thank you 98 00:06:49,870 --> 00:06:51,630 God. Let wisdom and knowledge be 99 00:06:51,630 --> 00:06:55,320 released in this house today. God, God, let's drink. 100 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,880 Come to the great Saints of this congregation. 101 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,240 Lord God. If there's someone here that's 102 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,320 never repented of their sins, never been baptized in your name 103 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,600 and filled with your spirit God, I pray that today would be the 104 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,240 day. God and Lord, we give you glory, 105 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,480 we give you honor, we give you praise today in Jesus. 106 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,000 Name in Jesus name. Come on, would you clap your 107 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,080 hands unto the Lord? Come on, would you give him a 108 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,040 shout of praise? God, we love you. 109 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,920 Lord God, we bless your great name. 110 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,520 In Jesus name, In Jesus name you can be seated this morning. 111 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,600 God bless you. Thank you for so much for being 112 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:39,080 in the House of the Lord today. Many will tell you that it's 113 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,280 simply a natural. Part of life, the constant 114 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,560 competition in the conflict. Between family members is not a 115 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,400 new thing, it's considered a natural. 116 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,720 Part of life. And that's why I thank God that 117 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,360 I only have one child and hopefully only one. 118 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,360 And if there's a second, it'll be, you'll be just as surprised 119 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,640 as I am. And. 120 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,160 But sibling rivalries, if they're not kept in check, they 121 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,000 can have a very negative impact and a very negative impact on. 122 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,360 Families and we. Find in the pages of the 123 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,320 scripture this morning the story of a rivalry, A sibling war that 124 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,640 leads to a wrestling match. It's the story. 125 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,360 In the story, we find that there's one man and there's two 126 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,640 sisters. This one man goes by the name of 127 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,919 Jacob, and he's found fleeing to his uncle Laban's house. 128 00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:40,760 And it's there that he falls in love with Rachel. 129 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,400 And Rachel is described as being beautiful and well favored. 130 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,480 You can find that in Genesis 29. And because of the beauty and 131 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,800 favor that rests upon Rachel's life, Jacob agrees to work for 132 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,840 seven years to marry her. And it's after years of Labor, 133 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,960 many working days, that the wedding eventually comes in. 134 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,280 A very unfortunate turn of events begins to unfold as Laban 135 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,320 deceives Jacob and instead of Rachel, the beautiful and 136 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:18,000 favored one that he had worked so tirelessly for, Laban gives. 137 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,920 Him, Leah. Leah is described as being 138 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,320 tender eyed, and some scholars will tell you that this means 139 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,440 that she is emotionally unstable. 140 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,840 And so given this information that we have from the Word of 141 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,320 God concerning Rachel, who is beautiful and favored and Leah 142 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,000 who is tender eyed, it is one of the most terrifying scriptures 143 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,320 that we find in Genesis 29. When Scripture declares that in 144 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,360 the morning, behold, it was Leah. 145 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,280 This this wild weekend wedding gave birth to the roots of this 146 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,640 rivalry that we know today. This is 2 Sisters who now share 147 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,360 a husband, one with his love and the other with his children. 148 00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:09,360 It is the family rivalry. And I believe we'll see today 149 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,760 that this family rivalry has more juice than the Hatfield and 150 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,240 Mccoy's. I believe this family rivalry 151 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,480 has a little more spice than the Kardashians even, but we must 152 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,240 understand that one wild family feud weekend gave birth to a 153 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,600 wrestling match. And I'll just go ahead and say 154 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,040 it this morning. I believe today that there's 155 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,120 some of us that have walked into this house feeling like our 156 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,160 lives have given birth to a wrestling match that we can't 157 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,880 explain. We can't under completely 158 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,720 comprehend what we're feeling on the inside. 159 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,960 We're asking questions like am I ready for this relation with 160 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,800 Jesus? Am I really ready to repent of 161 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,440 my sins, be baptized in Jesus name, filled with the Holy Ghost 162 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,480 and I just believe today that God is going to give us 163 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,040 revelation and revelation is going to be released in this 164 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,680 house. I've been praying God, may you 165 00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:12,000 give unto us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the 166 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,520 knowledge of you. I'm going to tell you this 167 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,680 morning church, you are ready. God is going to finish the work 168 00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:21,200 in your life. The Spirit Word of God is going 169 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,040 to help you to conquer the internal battles that you are 170 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:30,280 facing. I believe He's going to help you 171 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,280 conquer what you are. Facing in Jesus. 172 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,160 Name. I believe confusion will be 173 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,680 conquered. Chaos will have. 174 00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:44,360 To cease deliverance. Will have to happen in the name 175 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,720 of. Jesus. 176 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,480 In Genesis 30, we find that Rachel said with great 177 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,240 wrestlings. Have I wrestled with my sister? 178 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,880 To the best of my knowledge, Brother McGee might know better 179 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,680 than I do, but Rachel wasn't fighting with her fist. 180 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,360 Rachel wasn't fighting with her hands, if you will, but she was 181 00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:13,120 wrestling emotionally, spiritually, and even mentally. 182 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,480 She was wrestling. And the Bible said with great 183 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,240 wrestlings, have I prevailed with my. 184 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,880 Sister and I have. Prevailed and she called his 185 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,560 name Neptali. Rachel is saying. 186 00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:30,840 I have been in an all out fight. I've been praying unto my God, 187 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,600 but I've been struggling to stay the course. 188 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,400 I've been struggling to stay in the right direction, but 189 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:42,360 nonetheless, I have prevailed. I have won this wrestling match. 190 00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:45,560 And she called his name. Neptulia. 191 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,560 Understand with me this morning, in the moment, Rachel begins to 192 00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:53,800 feel like she has won, like she has won this match. 193 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,440 But notice with me, the child was not born from her. 194 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,480 It was born from the maid letting us know this is not a 195 00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:05,840 complete victory, that she has one, but this is something that 196 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,440 was born out of a place of desperation. 197 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,600 There's a little bit of triumph in the moment, but can I tell 198 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,920 the church today, sometimes what looks like a win to everybody 199 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:22,160 else is really a wrestling match on the inside that we haven't 200 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,560 completely surrender to God. Sometimes what looks like a win 201 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,200 isn't really a win. It's a wrestling match on the 202 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,800 inside. Sometimes. 203 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,680 That new relationship, that new job, it looks like a win. 204 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,960 But it's really a. Wrestling match on the inside. 205 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,480 I just believe today. Some folks are wrestling. 206 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:48,760 With God's plan, with God's purpose, with God's future and 207 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:56,000 what looks like a win. Is really just a wrestling match 208 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,360 on the inside. Rachel. 209 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:08,360 Rachel wrestled, and so do we. Rachel wrestled with God's plan, 210 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,880 with God's purpose, and so do we. 211 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,440 So often it's truly evident that Rachel is wrestling. 212 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,360 She's wrestling with her sister Leah. 213 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,000 While she's also wrestling with God's plan. 214 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,320 This is not a. Physical. 215 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,040 Fight. But it's it's an internal and 216 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,920 emotional battle. It's a raging rivalry. 217 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,280 The envy is there, the longing inside is there, the confusion 218 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,120 is there. It's all present. 219 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:45,200 The arguments are happening as Rachel is wrestling, as Rachel 220 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,320 is thinking that she is prevailing. 221 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,400 Can I tell the church today every wrestling match is not 222 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,600 physical. Some of our greatest struggles 223 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,640 happen in unseen places it's right here in the mind, it's in 224 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,760 the heart I believe it was the right wise writer who would 225 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,760 instruct us that we are to guard our heart with all diligence, 226 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,320 for out of it are the issues of life some of the. 227 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,280 Greatest struggles? Sitting in the sanctuary or in 228 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:20,400 the unseen places of our mind, in our heart, in our prayers. 229 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,520 And I feel this morning in the Holy Ghost that there's a 230 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,800 wrestling that's happening in our. 231 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,560 Midst that is not. Physical. 232 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,000 Because we're not wrestling against flesh and blood, but 233 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,520 against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of 234 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,880 darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high 235 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,040 places. But I've come to remind you that 236 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,200 in spite of the wrestlings, there is this truth that you are 237 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,920 in the right house, that you are in the right place on a Sunday 238 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,640 morning. In spite of what you're feeling, 239 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,720 in spite of what you're telling yourself, you're in the right 240 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:05,640 house. You're in the right place. 241 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:12,360 To receive revelation in spite. Of what you're wrestling. 242 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,760 With. In spite of what you're 243 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,280 struggling with, in spite of what you're telling yourself, I 244 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,880 don't know if I should be in the House of God today. 245 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,640 I'm hurting. I don't feel good. 246 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,520 I'm telling you this morning, you're in the right place. 247 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,360 In spite of how you feel, in spite of what you think people 248 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,880 are thinking about you, you are in the right house. 249 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,280 You are in the right place for somebody to love you, for 250 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,600 somebody to wrap their arms around you. 251 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,040 You. Are in the right house for 252 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,280 somebody. To tell you. 253 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,760 You're going to make it. Your family's going to make it. 254 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,480 The church is going to make it. You are in the right. 255 00:16:52,480 --> 00:17:00,400 Place to receive revelation. In the midst of your wrestling, 256 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,240 Rachel. Thought, thought Leah was her. 257 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,079 Rival. She thought Leah was the 258 00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:13,319 competition the 1:00 to. Compare herself among. 259 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,760 She's the one I need to measure. Myself against she's the. 260 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,280 One that I need. To compare myself with. 261 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,119 I once heard it said that comparison is the thief of joy 262 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,280 and the assassin of identity. Can I tell you, Church, the 263 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,480 truth is when we're wrestling the wrong opponent, it will not 264 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,240 only drain our joy, but there will come a point that we begin 265 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,360 to lose who we really are, who we were really designed to be. 266 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,920 It will calls you to forget who you were created to be in Jesus 267 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,840 Christ. And can I tell you today, 268 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,560 church, we do not obtain what God has for us by constantly 269 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,240 competing with one another. Come on, I cannot just say it 270 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,760 like I want to. If we spend all of our time 271 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,480 wrestling the wrong opponents, it will prevent us from. 272 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,640 Winning in the areas that matter the most? 273 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,440 Come on, God told us to win. In the prayer closet, God told 274 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,080 us to win. In worship, God told us to win. 275 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,520 In the church, God never designed for us to fight one 276 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,280 another. I still believe that rivalries 277 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,760 is the in the church. Is a. 278 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,760 Cancer to church wide revival I still. 279 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,200 Believe if we're constantly competing against one another, 280 00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:35,960 we will not have church wide revival. 281 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,120 And I believe what God has for First Apostolic Church in Mount 282 00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:46,000 Carmel is a church wide revival. It's not just for one, it's not 283 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,600 just for two, but it's a church wide revival. 284 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:58,880 It's it's not just for pastors family, it's for your family, 285 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,320 it's for your city, it's for your street, it's for your 286 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,680 community. It's a church. 287 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:15,120 Wide revival in Acts chapter #10 Peter opened his mouth. 288 00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:20,360 And said I perceive. That God is not a. 289 00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:26,960 Respecter of persons. I perceive that God is no. 290 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,320 Respecter of persons. In other words, God don't play. 291 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:35,520 Favorites. It makes no. 292 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:41,680 Difference who you are. Whether you're short like me or 293 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,920 you're tall like some of these other people, it makes no 294 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,960 difference who you are or. Where you are from? 295 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:53,560 If you want God and you're ready to do as He says, the door is 296 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,520 open to you. God does not show partiality to 297 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,240 people, but He fulfills what He has promised to His people. 298 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:07,680 The promise is unto you, to your children, to all that are afar 299 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,560 off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 300 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:19,840 And so here, Rachel. Has been wrestling wrestling the 301 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:27,560 wrong opponent as a result. Neptali is alive. 302 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,480 Nebulae is the. Result of a rivalry, the result 303 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,360 of an internal struggle that has been taking place. 304 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,320 But I need you to understand this morning, while she has been 305 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,760 wrestling against her sister, 2 chapters later, we find in 306 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,000 Genesis 32 that Jacob is wrestling with God. 307 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,320 It's true that one wrestling match produced a rivalry while 308 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,000 the other is giving birth to Revelation and eventually the 309 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,360 renaming of Jacob. And I'm preaching to some folks 310 00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:05,840 this morning that you are in the middle of a wrestling match that 311 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,800 you always thought would be a bitter rivalry. 312 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,840 That internal struggle, the struggle that nobody sees that, 313 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,840 that insecurity that you'll feel, the constant wars in your 314 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,000 mind, the constant struggle that you don't and always have to 315 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,960 come to church with. I believe God is getting ready 316 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,120 to use it to bring revelation. I believe God's getting ready to 317 00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:33,160 take some folks in this house from rivalry to revelation. 318 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,240 I believe more truth is getting ready to become known. 319 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,080 More love is getting ready to be experienced. 320 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,840 More Holy Ghost is getting ready to be poured out. 321 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:47,080 There is a greater anointing for First Apostolic Church as God 322 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,000 takes you. From rivalry to revelation, from 323 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,520 constant fighting to receiving, I believe God is taking you from 324 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:01,640 rivalry to revelation. I wish somebody take just a 325 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,480 moment and bless his name. I wish somebody take a. 326 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,920 Moment and say God. I believe it, God, I believe. 327 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:28,240 You're taking us somewhere. From fighting in the wrong. 328 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:34,240 Direction to somewhere where I know I'm going in the right 329 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,920 direction. Some of you been fighting, been 330 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:44,200 fighting, wrestling in the wrong direction, always trying to 331 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,240 prove something. Always trying to earn something, 332 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,840 always trying to force something, always trying to make 333 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,800 it happen. But when you make a transition 334 00:22:56,120 --> 00:23:00,280 from fighting against people to fighting with God, there's a 335 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,640 shift that begins to happen in the Spirit. 336 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,280 You no longer have to prove something. 337 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,760 You no longer have to earn something. 338 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,760 You no longer have to force something to happen. 339 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,320 Because I understand where I'm fighting at now. 340 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,560 I understand where I'm wrestling at now. 341 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,920 And I've come to preach to you this morning that if we're going 342 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,200 to get to the revelation, we must be willing to wrestle with 343 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,840 him in prayer, to wrestle with him in faith in this revival. 344 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,680 I believe as we wrestle. With God this week. 345 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,680 We're going to walk away. With more than a. 346 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,840 Blessing. We're going to walk away with 347 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,720 more than just a good shout, but I believe there's going to be a 348 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,960 change that happens in this revival that'll leave us. 349 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,280 Saying God. You've left your mark on me. 350 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,720 My life will never. Be the same. 351 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,480 You're taking me from rivalry to revelation. 352 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,680 You're. Taking me. 353 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:07,160 Where I've never been before. You're willing to go there this 354 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,920 week? I. 355 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,320 Said you willing to go there this week, you willing to go 356 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,080 there in your mind and your spirit in your body this week 357 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,360 saying God, I don't know what you're going to do this week, 358 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,680 but I just know when we get done God, I'm not going to be the 359 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,640 same that I used to be God, I have the same struggles. 360 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,080 Ain't going to be there no more. I know that you're going to 361 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,960 leave your mark on me for the. Rest of my life I believe that 362 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,400 God. 'S getting ready to mark this 363 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,200 moment as a. Turning point in a family's 364 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,680 life. Where you can look back and say. 365 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,560 When I walked in the 1st. Start like church. 366 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,120 On a Sunday in October. That God changed my life. 367 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:52,080 That God changed my family. That God left a mark on me. 368 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:59,480 God's taking us. There, God's taking us. 369 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,160 Won't you just look around with me for just a moment? 370 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,280 Look around. You ain't wrestling. 371 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,720 None of them people, I said. You ain't. 372 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:12,480 Wrestling. None of them. 373 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,960 People that ain't. Who we're wrestling. 374 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,320 With that ain't who we're wrestling with. 375 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,120 From this day forward, we're going on I, I, I'm not trying to 376 00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:26,080 measure myself with church people, with church comparison, 377 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,480 but I'm measuring myself to the word of God, to what God would 378 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:38,120 say, what God would desire. From rivalry to Revelation, 379 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,360 where God is taking us, taking us. 380 00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:45,840 They make their way back to the keyboard. 381 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,080 I'm not done. But I wonder if you could just 382 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,680 lift your hands for just a moment all over this house. 383 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,360 If you could just lift your hands. 384 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,280 Oh yes, God, I know what I feel in this house right now. 385 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,720 The internal struggles, the internal battles that are 386 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,160 sitting on the seats in the sanctuary. 387 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,040 Yes, you're. Coming to church, yes, you're 388 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,600 progressing in your relationship with God, but when you get home 389 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,520 on Monday and Tuesday, there's an internal battle that you're 390 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:26,040 facing that is causing you to weep uncontrollably. 391 00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:30,920 It's causing you to cry tears beyond your understanding. 392 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,120 And God has sent me here to tell you this morning that it's all 393 00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:38,480 right that you're wrestling, but you're going to have to let him 394 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,560 bring some revelation out of the wrestling. 395 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,920 You're going to have to let him bring some revelation that you 396 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,840 can hold on to in the middle of your uncontrollable tears and 397 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,600 your uncontrollable pain that you're feeling because there's 398 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,760 something happening at First Apostolic Church that you do not 399 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,480 want to miss. You don't want to get away from 400 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,600 it just because you start to feel uncomfortable and you're 401 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,960 starting to feel like God. I don't know what you're doing. 402 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:21,440 And I'm wrestling. You may have never been in AWWE. 403 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:27,040 Arena. It's the World Wrestling 404 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:35,440 Entertainment, but yet you still understand that there's some 405 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,920 revelations that only come a way of wrestling. 406 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:49,080 Genesis 32 tells us that Jacob was left alone and it was there 407 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,960 that he wrestled a man. Till the breaking of day. 408 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,360 Some of our greatest wrestling still happen when we're by 409 00:27:58,360 --> 00:28:03,640 ourself. I ain't got time to break down. 410 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,000 All the calculations. But there's a lot of hours in a 411 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,000 week, and not all that time is spent with the body. 412 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,200 There's a lot of time when we're by ourselves and we're we're. 413 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,800 Wrestling and. We're in lonely places, but I 414 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,200 believe this morning we've got to understand that it's in those 415 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,960 lonely places that we got to learn how to hold on to God and 416 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,320 let go of everything else that everybody else is saying every 417 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,200 Listen, at the end of the day, at the end of the day, you're 418 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,600 going to have to learn how to hold on when you are alone. 419 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,320 Come on. That's the revelations that's 420 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,160 coming after the rivalry. I got to hold on when I'm alone 421 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,200 because God's still doing a work even when I'm in a dark day, 422 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,080 even when I'm lonely, even when I feel like nobody cares. 423 00:28:52,360 --> 00:29:00,280 God is still doing a work when I am alone when I'm by. 424 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:09,000 Myself, he still loves me when pastor and sister. 425 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:15,600 McGee are nowhere to be. Found he still loves me, the 426 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,240 Bible says as he as Jacob wrestled the. 427 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:24,680 Angel touched the. Hollow of his thigh and Jacob's 428 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,760 hip was dislocated as he wrestled with him. 429 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,720 Stay with me for a moment. So now Jacob, here he is. 430 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:39,840 He's wrestling, wrestling alone. And now he's in pain. 431 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,360 Now he's limping and he's broken. 432 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,600 And Jacob says I will not. Let you. 433 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:53,200 Go, except you blessed me. But the blessing didn't. 434 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:59,320 Come before he got hurt. It came in the middle of it. 435 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,040 It came as he was going through it. 436 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:03,760 Now I know some. Of you been in? 437 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,640 Church a long time and you've seen what I've seen. 438 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,720 Some people quit when they get hurt. 439 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,200 Some people quit when their feelings get upset and 440 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,120 everything's not going just right. 441 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,920 But Jacob had reached a point that even if I'm broken, I'm 442 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,600 going to keep holding on because, because I understand 443 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,560 that there's some revelation that's coming. 444 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,360 I got to hold on even when I'm wounded. 445 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,440 I I can't just hold on when I'm alone, but I got to hold on when 446 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,000 I'm wounded and everything's not going just right. 447 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,040 Some of you might have walked into this service today feeling 448 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,960 like my hips out of socket, like everything ain't just right. 449 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,720 But you still. Got to stay locked in with God 450 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,680 even in the middle of the wrestling because there's. 451 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,720 More revelation that's coming. There's more revival that's 452 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,800 coming. God is taking us from rivalry 453 00:30:54,960 --> 00:31:00,960 to. Revelation from wrestling 454 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,200 against people to wrestling with God. 455 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,600 The Angel said let. Let me go. 456 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:18,440 Can you imagine Jacob's alone? He's wounded. 457 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:27,000 Be pretty easy to say no problem and just turn away. 458 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:33,080 Be very easy, just throw in the. Towel and and I'm hurting. 459 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,640 It's painful. I don't know this. 460 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:40,680 For certain, so don't. Take this as Bible, I imagine. 461 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,000 Since it was just two chapters prior. 462 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:50,080 Jacob knows Rachel and. Leo are fighting and struggling 463 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:57,840 and here he is struggling and fighting but something inside 464 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:03,920 says I will not let you go except thou bless me. 465 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,800 I will not let you go except you bless. 466 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,200 Me. This is not somebody. 467 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:17,920 Being stubborn, this is somebody that's desperate for more than 468 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,320 just a carnal fight. Desperate for revelation that's 469 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,960 being released. I understand that he held on 470 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,560 when he was alone and when he was wounded. 471 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,080 But now he has to be willing to hold on when it would be easier 472 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,600 to let go, when it would be easier just to throw in the 473 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,680 towel. And I've come to tell you, 474 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,920 Church, we have got to receive this revelation to hold on even 475 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,920 when we're alone. Hold on when we're wounded. 476 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,720 Hold on when it would be easier to let go. 477 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,960 Hold on to the promised that my children will be born again, My 478 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:58,320 mind will be healed, my body will be made whole, my calling 479 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,400 will become clear. It will happen. 480 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:15,520 So here Jacob leaves this wrestling match with this truth. 481 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:25,240 I got to hold on. But he also left with 482 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,640 Revelation. Because when you hold on to God, 483 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:35,880 you're not going to be the same. You're not going to be the same. 484 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,840 You're going to be changed. And that's what. 485 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,920 Happens in the middle of this match. 486 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,560 Jacob, you're no longer. Jacob. 487 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:54,520 But you're Israel, Jacob. Your name is no longer going to 488 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:59,000 be Jacob, but it's going to be. Israel, you're going to go from 489 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:07,520 the deceiver to now God's wrestler because there's a 490 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,480 change that happens in the middle of this fight. 491 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,400 There's a change that happens in the middle of all the internal. 492 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,960 Struggles that we're facing. And all the mind battles that 493 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,040 we're enduring that nobody knows about. 494 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,360 Can I just tell somebody this morning that if Jacob can hold 495 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:32,440 on until God, until he got his blessing from God, I am more 496 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:37,000 convinced than ever before that you and I can hold on to God 497 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,400 until we go free. You can cling to the church. 498 00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:44,560 You can plant your family in this place. 499 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,600 In the midst of your pain, in the midst of your problems, this 500 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:54,159 is the place for you. If Jacob can hold on until he 501 00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:58,000 got a blessing, you can hold on until you go free. 502 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,880 You can hold on. Until the addiction breaks, 503 00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:06,160 until the fear lives, until the joy returns, you can hold on 504 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:11,560 until the night breaks and the. Sun shines, you can hold on. 505 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,400 Come on, stand to your feet all over this house. 506 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,840 God is not turned off by the fact that you're fighting. 507 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:33,080 He's not offended by it. As a matter of fact, he's. 508 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:37,520 Drawn to it, he's. Drawn to the fact that you're 509 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:38,600 hungry for. More. 510 00:35:40,720 --> 00:35:42,800 He's drawn to the fact that you desire. 511 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,120 More revelation that. You desire to know. 512 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:53,960 Him more and more. Come on, lift your hands all 513 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,440 over this house. I'm closing. 514 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:03,320 I'm closing. In the name of. 515 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,760 Jesus. In the name of. 516 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,480 Jesus. Come on, it's all right to be 517 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,480 honest and say God, I've been struggling. 518 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,120 God, I've been facing some internal. 519 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,440 I've still been coming to. Church I've still. 520 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,520 Been doing the church things. I'm in love with the church, but 521 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,640 I've been battling internally and mentally and spiritually. 522 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:30,200 I'm in a fight. I'm wrestling. 523 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,520 It's not the church. It's just me. 524 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,400 It's just me. Oh. 525 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,720 Come on, I feel there's a few honest people. 526 00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:46,720 In this House that. Need to step out of their seat 527 00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:49,360 and. And just be honest and make your 528 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,720 way around this altar. Come on, You're not admitting 529 00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:56,080 I'm a terrible no, no, no, no. You're just admitting God. 530 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,880 I'm wrestling. I'm fighting some things 531 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,560 internally. I'm fighting some things 532 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,040 spiritually. I'm fighting some things 533 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,480 mentally. Come on. 534 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,280 Would you let God on this first service of revival take you from 535 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,080 rivalry to revelation? Let take Him to the place that 536 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,280 you're going to hold on even when alone. 537 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:22,040 I'm going to hold on even when I'm. 538 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:22,800 Wounded. I'm going to. 539 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,800 Hold on. Even when it's easier to let go. 540 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,960 Oh. Yes, God. 541 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,480 Yes, God. Come on, make your way out of 542 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,840 your seats. Make your way around this altar. 543 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,560 You may not have it all together, but you're still 544 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:49,720 holding on to Him and there's a blessing that's going to come. 545 00:37:49,720 --> 00:37:54,240 From this.
