Is right now. 
Let's go. 

7
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:37,500
I do feel like today the Lord is
trying to get people their fight

8
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:40,400
back. 
I know that's about five people 

9
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,800
everybody else got fight but to 
those five people that need 

10
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:51,900
fight today is your day to get 
your fight back. 

11
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:58,600
What a privilege it is to be 
back in the house of God. 

12
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:06,300
To worship Him in Freedom to 
hear his word in Freedom. 

13
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:10,300
Lord. 
We thank you that we have ears 

14
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:16,000
to hear and we have eyes to see 
Holy Spirit. 

15
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,800
I ask that you just rock our 
world. 

16
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:29,900
This morning may the hungry be 
filled May the Thirsty have 

17
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:36,000
their thirst Quest? 
I declare over myself that I am 

18
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,500
good ground and every word 
spoken. 

19
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:47,400
Today, the Richmond family will 
produce, no, not some 30, not 

20
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:53,600
some 60, but 100-fold Lord, we 
promised to hang onto every word

21
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,000
that you speak. 
Today, we thank you. 

22
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,800
That shackles will be broken in 
this service that Mine's will be

23
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,400
regulated in this service that 
strongholds will be broken in 

24
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,800
this service. 
That today we make a decision 

25
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:14,700
that my comfort zone is not the 
Zone. 

26
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:19,000
I want to live in, but your will
is where I want to be, for 

27
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,500
wherever your spirit is, there 
is freedom. 

28
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:26,700
I declare some people today, let
go of control, Lord and enter 

29
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:33,100
true trust and faith in you. 
And I just put the devil on 

30
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:36,500
notice right now and declare he 
has no access. 

31
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,400
He has no access over my mind. 
He has no access into my 

32
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,500
thoughts. 
He has no access into my praise.

33
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:49,600
He has no access into my being 
and my doing I declare today 

34
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,300
that I walk in full authority of
who I am. 

35
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:58,200
So I take authority over my 
hearing today, I take authority 

36
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,800
over my speech today I take 
authority over my family today. 

37
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,900
I take authority over my 
finances today, I take authority

38
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:11,200
over this this atmosphere today 
and I declare that the kingdom 

39
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:16,000
of the Lord is here. 
Hallelujah. 

40
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Thank you, Jesus. 
Amen. 

41
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:24,000
Before you get seated, I want 
you to grab your neighbor by the

42
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,700
hand and check their pulse and 
say, I just wondering if you 

43
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:44,500

Hallelujah, like really alive 

44
00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:54,300
light like really alive. 
Like no demon in hell can stop 

45
00:03:54,300 --> 00:04:01,100

Oh, today is about to be a great

46
00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:02,800
day for those that want it to 
be. 

47
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,600
I mean, people know that a great
day is a choice, right? 

48
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,600
30 people. 
Amen, 30 people. 

49
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,200
Amen. 
Amen. 

50
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:15,900
You know, I hear from a lot of 
successful people. 

51
00:04:15,900 --> 00:04:18,800
It's good to hang around 
successful people. 

52
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:23,100
Not just successful people, but 
people with successful mindset, 

53
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,200
right? 
And we got five people agree, 

54
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,800
can I just get five people? 
Amen. 

55
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,000
All right. 
Also, also carry that principle 

56
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
over. 
It's also good to sit next to 

57
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,200
people in church that have joy, 
like, expresso Joy, you know 

58
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,300
what I'm saying? 
Like, I don't need to your joy 

59
00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:42,200
should enjoy. 
Should not be a secret. 

60
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:45,500
Victoria is amen. 
Hallelujah. 

61
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:51,000
Amen. 
Come on, give our first-time 

62
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,200
attendees. 
One more round of applause. 

63
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,900
Yes. 
Now look, I will tell you 

64
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:01,800
everybody that came here last 
week. 

65
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,300
This week will not be one hour 
service K. 

66
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,300
Amen? 
See y'all named it like that. 

67
00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:10,500
So what I don't really care. 
Amen but there is a word in the 

68
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:15,200
house for for you. 
This word today is for 100 

69
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,100
percent of the people in here, 
including people that are 

70
00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:23,400
serving, including people that 
are online, including people 

71
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,600
that are Alive in Christ and 
people that are dead and Christ.

72
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,000
Now you might say that's not 
biblical to say someone is dead 

73
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,400
in Christ. 
Absolutely. 

74
00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:35,200
If you don't have the joy of 
Christ but you are in Christ 

75
00:05:35,700 --> 00:05:39,900
that's dead. 
If you're not living off of the 

76
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:45,300
Salvation that he died for you 
to have the nest dead. 

77
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:50,000
We're live in Christ. 
We not barely making it in 

78
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,300
Christ. 
Hallelujah, that just hit my 

79
00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:53,900
right side. 
I just hit my right side. 

80
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,900
Side. 
We not barely making it in 

81
00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:59,500
Christ, you know. 
I'm not depressed in Christ. 

82
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:05,600
I'm not anxious in Christ. 
I'm not poor in Christ, there's 

83
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,500
nothing in Christ, that is of 
Darkness. 

84
00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:15,900
So if I'm in Christ, then 
everything he's done for me, 

85
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,200
can't be a secret. 
All right. 

86
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,900
Today, if you choose, they 
choose. 

87
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,400
If you choose to God is going to
make clear? 

88
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:41,200
About the place that you are in 
one hundred percent of the 

89
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:47,400
people in this room. 
Is in a valley. 

90
00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:52,000
I know this without a shadow of 
a doubt. 

91
00:06:53,300 --> 00:07:00,100
That everyone is in a valley. 
Now, some might think they're 

92
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:04,100
not in one and that's based on 
your perspective, but when you 

93
00:07:04,100 --> 00:07:07,700
really look at scripture, God, 
love bringing people to the 

94
00:07:07,700 --> 00:07:15,300
valley. 
And true maturity in Christ, 

95
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:20,900
will not look at a valley as a 
painful place. 

96
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:27,400
H place of drought. 
It is when you understand why 

97
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:34,900
God brings us into the valley. 
You will see there is no way to 

98
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,700
the promise except through a 
valley. 

99
00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:45,500
You will see that there is no 
maturing except through a 

100
00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:46,100
valley. 
No. 

101
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:49,400
No you are not going to get your
heavenly helicopter and get 

102
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:55,400
dropped off on the mountain top.
And the challenge with Believers

103
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,300
in this room, forget your auntie
who you wish was here. 

104
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,300
Forget your wife sitting next to
you. 

105
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:02,100
You wish that, you hope they 
hear it. 

106
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,700
You are in a valley and as you 
unless you learn how to live in 

107
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:12,900
the valley, you can't help your 
partner, get out the valley to 

108
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:15,700
complain and people in the 
valley going to be what to 

109
00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:18,000
complain and people in the 
valley stuck. 

110
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:30,000
Two people on E, in the valley 
going to be two people only, we 

111
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,900
must learn, we must learn how to
win in the Valley. 

112
00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:35,500
Can I just start this real 
quick? 

113
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,500
We must learn how to live or to 
win in the valley. 

114
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:44,900
If we are going to live on the 
mountain top, I'm a read it 

115
00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:47,300
again. 
I'm going to read it again now. 

116
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:50,300
We can get out of service. 
Super quick, if you can get it, 

117
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:55,700
super quick. 
But if you don't want to be good

118
00:08:55,700 --> 00:08:58,200
students today and you want to 
be stubborn and I got to pull 

119
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,600
your teeth, how many people know
extracting teeth? 

120
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,200
Take some time. 
Alright, so I don't mind 

121
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,200
extracting teeth today, but if 
you ready to, like really 

122
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:13,200
receive and be honest in your 
chair, that's your life ain't 

123
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,400
together. 
You let me say something. 

124
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,600
Your money might be together, 
but you're so lame together. 

125
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:24,400
And I wish you people in here, 
stop looking at your Money as 

126
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,400
your Marcus success. 
Yo job let me help all you 

127
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,500
people. 
Your job is not true security. 

128
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,000
Health. 
Go wrong, go. 

129
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,300
What you going to do the 
business closed down? 

130
00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:44,200
What you going to do? 
Which going do when they come 

131
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,300
for you. 
That was so cheesy. 

132
00:09:48,300 --> 00:09:51,200
But I knew some people would 
laugh, so I just don't even joke

133
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,800
like that, but I knew some 
people like cheesy joke, so I'm 

134
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,600
just gonna say it easy Joe. 
Thank you, Lord. 

135
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,900
Thank you. 
All right, now, what that just 

136
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:03,000
did was open your mouth wider. 
You know what? 

137
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,800
The dentist say? 
Open your mouth, so I can get 

138
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,800
the tooth. 
I'm just trying. 

139
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,200
That's what that's why we 
cracked a joke. 

140
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,700
So you got so we get all right. 
Now, let's go in this. 

141
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:18,100
Get this tooth. 
Hello communication Secrets. 

142
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:21,600
Right there. 
We must learn how to win in the 

143
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,600
valley. 
Before they just saying written 

144
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,400
up here. 
Before we ask God to get us out 

145
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,500
the valley. 
Do you know God puts you in the 

146
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:33,400
valley to teach you how to 
fight? 

147
00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:39,800
He like God get me out of here 
and let me help you out a lot of

148
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,500
your anxiety and stress is 
because you're trying to abandon

149
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:49,300
where God called you to. it's so
you're looking at your battle as

150
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:53,400
the devil and what if I was here
to tell you that your battle is 

151
00:10:53,400 --> 00:11:00,700
the Lord Right. 
I used to kind of be hesitant to

152
00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:03,000
talk about because there's a lot
of pressure that to tell you. 

153
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,000
No, no God put you in this. 
Now I want to be very clear. 

154
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,800
God doesn't put anything bad on 
you but God works everything 

155
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,200
together for good. 
So if he works everything 

156
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,600
together for good, he allowed 
the baking soda in the bowl. 

157
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,200
So he doesn't put it on you but 
he allows it to come through. 

158
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,300
Okay, he gave trouble 
permission. 

159
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:38,100
To trouble you. 
We must learn how to win in the 

160
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:42,800
valley if we are going to live 
on the Mountaintop, how many 

161
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,900
people understand that winning 
in the valley has everything to 

162
00:11:47,900 --> 00:11:50,900
do with knowing how to stay on 
the Mountaintop. 

163
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:56,300
Now it would be not be a loving 
God to rush you to the 

164
00:11:56,300 --> 00:12:02,000
Mountaintop knowing you're gonna
for that's a far fall to just 

165
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,500
drop your kid off on the 
Mountaintop. 

166
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,500
And just be like you blessed, 
and then the wind blow on the 

167
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:14,300
Mountaintop sometime, the 
valley, protects you from the 

168
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:19,400
wind. 
So you and we really look at the

169
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,100
valley. 
We look at the valley. 

170
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,400
We look at the valley. 
Way wrong divine, valleys is the

171
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,800
questions. 
There's a question. 

172
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:31,400
There's a difference between 
Divine valleys and developed 

173
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,300
valleys or for develop valleys. 
I would say volunteer. 

174
00:12:36,300 --> 00:12:40,500
Valleys are volatile to our 
faith, really? 

175
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:45,500
You wait for this, wait up. 
People that love drama live in 

176
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:52,400
the valley and never come out. 
Hey, I'm trying to help you out 

177
00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:55,100
Divine. 
Valleys, are those that God 

178
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:59,600
says, this is the way to go. 
Develop. 

179
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,300
Valleys are dealt with your 
insecurities, your fears, your 

180
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:08,300
perspective, you'll control. 
You develop the valley, you in. 

181
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,300
Oh, you chose to marry that 
person that's a developed 

182
00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:13,800
Valley. 
That ain't God. 

183
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:20,400
Why did you give them to me? 
When you don't wait on the Lord,

184
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,700
you develop valleys and here's 
God's faithfulness. 

185
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:26,600
He is committed to get you 
through Divine. 

186
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:34,600
Valleys and develop valleys, but
develop, valleys are extremely 

187
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,400
hard to get through because you 
got there on your own. 

188
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:44,200
So it's going to take a little 
extra work because develop, 

189
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,500
valleys prove, you wasn't 
listening in the first place. 

190
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,100
So now you gotta learn in the 
valley, how to hear from God. 

191
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,700
Instead of, when you hear from 
God and he sends you into a 

192
00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:01,200
valley, it's different when you 
ignore God, now you try. 

193
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:10,100
Pick up his frequency. 
So so so before we move forward,

194
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,800
let's stop blaming the devil. 
How many valleys did you 

195
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:23,200
voluntarily walk in? 
Oh, I walked in a few if I'm 

196
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:28,700
honest, heck a few more than a 
few. 

197
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,700
See what happens? 
Is when we get saved, we think 

198
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:39,000
having faith means forgetting 
instead of understanding where 

199
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000
God has brought us from it. 
I have been in some, some very 

200
00:14:43,100 --> 00:14:46,600
telling the men. 
This morning we don't understand

201
00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:49,500
why prison is a good place for 
God. 

202
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,100
To allow people to get to. 
So the it's some of the most 

203
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:59,200
creative people Our birth in 
prison. 

204
00:15:00,100 --> 00:15:02,200
Understand what prison is 
prison? 

205
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,200
You get there because you didn't
Stuart Freedom. 

206
00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:15,300
So so he doesn't have to be a 
real like prison but within your

207
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:18,600
soul there's a prison you can't 
get out of Sheila. 

208
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,800
How can I get out of this? 
Oh my God. 

209
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,500
Why did I make this mistake? 
You're living in regret. 

210
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:30,800
You're just a prison. 
But God doesn't mind, putting us

211
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:36,700
allowing us to get in valleys 
and wildernesses in prisons 

212
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:38,800
because he's committed to his 
promise. 

213
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,000
So weird what is prison and 
Wilderness have to do what get 

214
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,100
me to his promise? 
Do you notice when there is a 

215
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:50,300
catastrophe in the world, how we
all come together? 

216
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,500
Why we didn't come together 
before? 

217
00:15:54,300 --> 00:16:01,300
Why we ain't been marching. 
Why does bad things? 

218
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:08,900
Bring us together? 
Why do we gotta wait to lose a? 

219
00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:12,800
Loved one to make God our loved 
one? 

220
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:19,300
Why don't we gotta get divorced 
before we start saying, okay. 

221
00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:23,500
Gotta listen, why do we? 
Why does bad things have to be 

222
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:33,600
the route? 
To the promise. so, we 

223
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,800
understand that the valley is 
actually, Beneficial. 

224
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,900
Bible says that that's what this
whole thing is about to show you

225
00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:48,800
what God says about it. 
But how can I mature, stop 

226
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,500
putting myself in valleys that 
God didn't create for me to be 

227
00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:55,300
in? 
How do you get in their choices?

228
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,500
Ignoring the Lord having 
control. 

229
00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:03,400
Do what you want to do exiting 
things, when you want to exit 

230
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,599
them closing things, when you 
want to close them, ending 

231
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:09,599
things when you want to not 
understanding when the going 

232
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:12,800
begins to get tough. 
That's when development truly 

233
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,200
begins. 
And how many times have you 

234
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,599
gotten out of something? 
Cuz it's tough. 

235
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,700
And then you wonder three years 
later? 

236
00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:28,099
Why you not developed? 
And the whole goal is not for 

237
00:17:28,099 --> 00:17:30,900
you to develop what you think 
needs to be developed. 

238
00:17:30,900 --> 00:17:33,900
It is for you to go through and 
develop what God knows. 

239
00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:39,200
You need to develop God made it 
made you, he knows how you take,

240
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,500
he knows the diet, you need to 
be on. 

241
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,300
He knows the pills you need to 
take and he knows the sickness, 

242
00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:53,100
you got. 
It's so many of us are at the 

243
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:59,000
door transformation, but because
it's hard because we don't hear,

244
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,400
we're at the door 
transformation, but because God 

245
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,600
won't open the door. 
We go to the next house. 

246
00:18:06,700 --> 00:18:09,000
We like salesman. 
We just keep going to the house 

247
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,600
till somebody a buyer crap. 
Not saying whatever you sell is 

248
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,200
crap. 
Kay I got to make up some 

249
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:24,200
ground, this Valley is a broad 
depression between two Hills. 

250
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,200
Can I talk to anybody today? 
Hey a broad depression. 

251
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,200
A valley is a broad. 
What? 

252
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,600
Depression? 
It is a it is a low place. 

253
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,300
It's a place of where we find 
humility is birth. 

254
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:42,200
It's a dark place. 
It's an obscure place. 

255
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,100
It's a place where I can't find 
my way. 

256
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:46,000
See my way. 
I don't know if I want to keep 

257
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,100
going. 
Anyway, I want to sit down. 

258
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,200
I am depressed. 
I am down. 

259
00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:52,200
I am tired. 
I am weary. 

260
00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:53,900
I don't want to keep going 
forward. 

261
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:55,500
Forget it. 
I rather go. 

262
00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:01,800
Go back. 
The valley could be a clear 

263
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,500
place but a stagnant place. 
It can be a blessed place but a 

264
00:19:06,508 --> 00:19:11,200
lonely Place, Valley could also 
be a season of movement while 

265
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:16,600
still remaining Steel. 
Valley can be a place of 

266
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:22,800
extended waiting. 
We see Isaiah here. 

267
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,700
The Lord says arise from the 
valley. 

268
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,300
He's calling us out of the 
valley where prostration, in 

269
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:41,400
which circumstances have kept 
you rise to a new life shine. 

270
00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:46,500
I love how he calls us to arise 
in the valley. 

271
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,700
Shine in the valley, keep it 
real. 

272
00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:55,200
The entire world is a 
Wilderness. 

273
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,300
That's why we are the light of 
the valley. 

274
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,900
So when you see that you're the 
light of the valley, you ain't 

275
00:20:04,900 --> 00:20:09,000
trying to run out the valley. 
I might be ahead of myself but 

276
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:18,900
you don't understand. 
The valley is a calling The 

277
00:20:18,900 --> 00:20:25,600
valley is a calling when you 
understand the valley is a 

278
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,800
calling you will stop looking at
it as a place of the ended. 

279
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,100
But the death, the death of you 
are place of paying, you will 

280
00:20:33,100 --> 00:20:37,200
see purpose in your pain, 
purpose in your Valley purpose 

281
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,700
in your suffering, purpose in 
your waiting /. 

282
00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:47,600
Miss in your weariness. 
We need more people in the 

283
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:54,100
valley, is lonely in the valley 
because everybody running out of

284
00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:59,400
it. 
I'm going to see myself. 

285
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,100
You ready for this? 
You ready for this? 

286
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,100
I must see myself as an anointed
for the valley. 

287
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:10,800
More than I am for the stage. 
Oh, God anointed me for my 

288
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,500
career. 
God anointed me to speak. 

289
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:15,300
God anointed me to do. 
Do, do, do, do, do do do. 

290
00:21:15,300 --> 00:21:21,000
Do do. 
But I don't understand 

291
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:27,200
understand the anointing is the 
valley destroying or sorry, the 

292
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,700
Yoke destroying the valley 
removing or the burden. 

293
00:21:31,700 --> 00:21:35,000
Remove, if I don't want to be in
a valley, I don't need an 

294
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:41,200
anointing. 
Oh man. 

295
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,900
I want my anointing to increase.
Oh, I want that person's 

296
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:47,500
anointing. 
You let me tell you how. 

297
00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:50,200
If you see anybody, that's 
anointed guess where they got it

298
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:55,400
from the valley. 
There's a lot of people love 

299
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,800
hanging out in the city, but 
guess where God called luck with

300
00:21:57,900 --> 00:22:09,800
the valley. so I have made this 
as well as Bishop Paul said, 

301
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,400
I've learned to rejoice in my 
suffering because I realized 

302
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:20,400
when I Nykeya strong. 
So he says, man, I don't want to

303
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,400
remove the thorn because the 
thorn is what's keeping the oil 

304
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:30,700
and it's keeping the oil in its 
keeping the oil Rich, this is 

305
00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:33,800
why God only shoes has a few 
people and the rest hate on the 

306
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,300
anointed ones. 
Don't be mad at me because I 

307
00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:38,100
don't mind staying in the 
valley. 

308
00:22:40,100 --> 00:22:42,800
You want to be all out the 
valley on the Mountaintop 

309
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:50,200
critiquing people. 
I want dial. 

310
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:57,400
So today's message will be 
called join me in the valley. 

311
00:23:06,100 --> 00:23:09,600
I was like God this is this is 
abnormal right here. 

312
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:16,600
Do inviting people to a valley. 
I'm telling you the word is so 

313
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,100
alive. 
If you just keep looking at it 

314
00:23:18,100 --> 00:23:20,900
going, oh God, the god of turn 
on you like this one day and 

315
00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:23,100
then he'll turn back on you like
this one day. 

316
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:25,400
Then other days show you the 
other side here. 

317
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:30,400
Like oh God, oh God, that's why 
they holy holy holy, they can't,

318
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,600
he keep showing them all kind of
sides. 

319
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,900
Join me in the valley. 
Join me in the valley. 

320
00:23:47,700 --> 00:23:56,100
Who want to go to the valley? 
But he said, I am preparing a 

321
00:23:56,100 --> 00:23:59,600
table. 
In the valley. 

322
00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:07,000
So, if you want to Feast the 
most food, is in the valley, you

323
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:14,300
digest on the Mountaintop. 
Ain't too many people up there. 

324
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,400
By the time you get to the 
Mountaintop did that? 

325
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:25,700
That's a place where you get to.
So even when even when I get out

326
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:28,400
the valley, it's not because I'm
on the Mountaintop, it's because

327
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:34,100
he raised the floor. 
My Valley maturity and 

328
00:24:34,100 --> 00:24:37,500
perspective doesn't get me out 
the valley, it just raises the 

329
00:24:37,500 --> 00:24:40,500
floor. 
So I can be in the valley with a

330
00:24:40,508 --> 00:24:47,400
better View. 
And that's what you find them. 

331
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,900
Praying, Lord don't get me out 
the valley just annoy me to keep

332
00:24:50,900 --> 00:24:54,100
preaching the gospel while I'm 
being persecuted. 

333
00:24:54,200 --> 00:25:00,000
Just give me a better view in 
the valley is what Moses said. 

334
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,400
If you don't go with me, I'm not
going nowhere. 

335
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,800
He's being called to the valley 
and he's saying, God, I will go 

336
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:11,900
to the valley if you go with me 
talking about you want to know 

337
00:25:11,900 --> 00:25:12,800
God. 
Better. 

338
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:20,700
Join him in the valley. 
Samuel second, Samuel, five, 

339
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:29,200
when the Philistines heard that 
David had been anointed king, 

340
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,500
what David had been? 
What annoying? 

341
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:35,500
That what he was anointed, what?
One more time he had done. 

342
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:40,000
He was anointed what? 
They all went up. 

343
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,100
They all went where they all 
went, where one more time? 

344
00:25:44,100 --> 00:25:46,800
They all went where everybody in
the valley. 

345
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,500
I mean, attend everybody? 
In the tent? 

346
00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:56,000
They all went where they went up
to, what find him but he heard 

347
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,900
of it and he went down. 
I know, I don't know. 

348
00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:03,100
I just get excited when I just 
see where he went down. 

349
00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:05,000
He went, he went down to the 
stronghold. 

350
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:11,900
They went up to look for him. 
But Soldier, David went down, 

351
00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:18,200
the Philistines also came and 
spread themselves where in the 

352
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:27,900
valley Everything, David 
inquired of the Lord, this where

353
00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:30,000
we get in trouble in the valley,
we do our own thing. 

354
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,500
David went into the valley and 
he start talking to God. 

355
00:26:36,700 --> 00:26:41,300
What you want me to do. 
See the valley is meant to 

356
00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:45,700
produce dependency. 
Some of us stay in the valley 

357
00:26:45,700 --> 00:26:48,000
too long because we too 
independent. 

358
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,800
All right? 
This ain't one of the messages. 

359
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,500
I see for some people, some 
people want. 

360
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,200
Don't do, don't like this right 
here. 

361
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,400
They don't want to like this 
right here, but I don't care. 

362
00:27:00,300 --> 00:27:03,800
I got an assignment and I'm 
gonna give it to you, okay? 

363
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,500
Shall I go up against the 
Philistines? 

364
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:09,200
Will you deliver you? 
See this. 

365
00:27:09,700 --> 00:27:13,300
Will you deliver them to me? 
No. 

366
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:14,400
Not. 
Can I go? 

367
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,900
And Brian. 
Can I take it by myself? 

368
00:27:16,900 --> 00:27:17,600
No. 
God. 

369
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,500
You must deliver them to me. 
You must get rid of this 

370
00:27:21,500 --> 00:27:24,100
stronghold. 
You must fight for me. 

371
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:31,900
I shop, but you gotta fight. 
And the Lord said to David what 

372
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:35,400
go up for. 
I will surely deliver them into 

373
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,500
your hand. 
See the valley requires you to 

374
00:27:39,500 --> 00:27:44,600
have a word, the moment you take
your eyes off, the word is the 

375
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,700
moment. 
You start taking yourself out 

376
00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:52,700
the valley. 
David came to bellperre azim and

377
00:27:52,700 --> 00:27:57,600
he smoked him there. 
And he said, the Lord has broken

378
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:02,200
through my enemies before me 
like the bursting out of great 

379
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,800
water. 
So he called the name of that 

380
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,400
place. 
That is he God will change the 

381
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,500
name of your Valley. 
See you just got to be willing 

382
00:28:09,500 --> 00:28:12,300
to fight. 
You gotta be willing to fight a 

383
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:14,800
place, that was a stronghold, a 
place. 

384
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:20,000
That was a dry place, a place 
that was a Place a place of 

385
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,600
death in balls. 
Now became his place of 

386
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,200
breakthrough. 
So now I have faced my giant 

387
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,800
now, I know how to break through
in my Valley. 

388
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,500
So now God has renamed and 
repurposed a place that was hell

389
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:37,900
for me. 
Now, I know how to get stuff out

390
00:28:37,900 --> 00:28:46,500
of it. 
Hallelujah, my joy is in the 

391
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:49,500
valley. 
Are y'all gotta hear what I'm 

392
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:53,200
telling you? 
My joy is in the Valley. 

393
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,000
Come on, say that when we, my 
joy is in the valley. 

394
00:28:57,300 --> 00:28:59,200
I know that sounds crazy to some
folks. 

395
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,100
That's where my, now, some for 
my, my joy is in, my paycheck. 

396
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,900
My joy is in that booty. 
My joy is in that bottle. 

397
00:29:07,900 --> 00:29:10,500
My joy is in my joy is in me 
moving. 

398
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:17,300
With my joy is in America, my 
joy is in Hawaii, right? 

399
00:29:17,300 --> 00:29:22,000
Our joy is always everywhere 
else but in Christ I wish you 

400
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,300
was here Wednesday. 
You would have found out what 

401
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:27,700
kind of follower you are of 
Jesus. 

402
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,900
Not everyone is following Jesus,
for Jesus, there following Jesus

403
00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:35,900
for what Jesus can do. 
Some people follow Jesus to 

404
00:29:35,900 --> 00:29:41,500
critique Jesus, and his body. 
Not everyone is following Jesus 

405
00:29:41,900 --> 00:29:44,200
to lay their life down for 
Jesus. 

406
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,300
My fellow Believers when it 
seems as though, you are facing 

407
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:59,100
nothing but deserts. 
See it as an invaluable 

408
00:29:59,100 --> 00:30:03,500
opportunity. 
What the valley is an 

409
00:30:03,500 --> 00:30:05,500
opportunity. 
What? 

410
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,900
Let me tell you some, all 
doctors would be broke if nobody

411
00:30:10,900 --> 00:30:15,100
was injured or sick. 
We come in sick. 

412
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:23,700
They look at his opportunity. 
Trying to make it a practical 

413
00:30:23,700 --> 00:30:28,600
for you, some folks, lot of 
people making a living off of 

414
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:36,200
your Valley. 
I need to go to the therapist 

415
00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:39,600
and they going to listen to you,
describe your Valley, ain't none

416
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,300
of them, helping you get out the
valley. 

417
00:30:41,500 --> 00:30:44,200
You just all of a sudden better 
because somebody listening to 

418
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:51,800
you So, they just got $125 our 
for your Valley. 

419
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,700
The world runs off of that. 
Folks is valleys, we ain't got 

420
00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:06,300
no water Valley, gotta get him 
some water, and got no oxygen, 

421
00:31:06,300 --> 00:31:11,200
folks walking around with oxygen
tanks, Valley. 

422
00:31:11,300 --> 00:31:13,400
We make money off of people's 
valleys. 

423
00:31:13,700 --> 00:31:17,400
All I'm bringing that up for is 
because when you learn, this is 

424
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,600
where wealthy people get 
wealthy. 

425
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:24,700
They see a problem. 
And that's just what a valley 

426
00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:27,800
is. 
It's a gap. and if you're 

427
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:34,600
willing to go in the valley, 
you'll see opportunity, instead 

428
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,300
of looking everybody on social 
media who seem to be on the 

429
00:31:37,308 --> 00:31:44,400
mountain top, All right, 
opportunity to experience the 

430
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:45,400
great way. 
The great. 

431
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,700
The greatest joy is in 
difficulties. 

432
00:31:49,700 --> 00:31:53,500
That's where it can be found 
found. 

433
00:31:54,900 --> 00:31:58,300
The greatest joy that you can't 
look for, you know, that when 

434
00:31:58,300 --> 00:32:04,600
your faith is tested where in 
the valley, it stirs up in you 

435
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:11,600
the power of endurance. 
If I want endurance, I must go 

436
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:17,200
through the valley to get it. 
And when I come out the valley, 

437
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:26,500
I should be stronger. 
Wiser better so much better and 

438
00:32:26,500 --> 00:32:28,900
when I look back, not of that, 
go see, Marvin Sapp right now, 

439
00:32:28,900 --> 00:32:31,500
they ain't even though it is a, 
even though anyway, didn't even 

440
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:35,800
know any way, they even those 
can hold Canada. 

441
00:32:36,700 --> 00:32:43,600
All right II, listen, listen. 
Can I talk to some of y'all? 

442
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,200
Some of you are where you are 
right now because you have no 

443
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:53,900
endurance, depression comes 
faster. 

444
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:58,900
When endurance Runs Out, 
endurance is meant to hold off, 

445
00:32:58,900 --> 00:33:04,300
depression anger, rage saying, 
stuff out of you, you can't 

446
00:33:04,300 --> 00:33:08,100
endure so that pressure comes 
and you break. 

447
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:15,300
But what if I told you to 
develop endurance, it does not 

448
00:33:15,300 --> 00:33:18,200
come because you don't endure 
because you feel like it. 

449
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,300
You endure because you've 
developed, you've been tried. 

450
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:32,000
You've walked in love to your 
enemies to people that mistreat 

451
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:38,600
you, you've walked in love. not 
until God, change your circle 

452
00:33:40,100 --> 00:33:45,700
but until you saw your circle 
different until you stop 

453
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:48,500
pointing the finger at them and 
one day you and the valley and 

454
00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:54,400
you like, oh my God, I'm the 
issue because they shouldn't be 

455
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,600
controlling my emotions like 
that. 

456
00:33:57,700 --> 00:34:01,400
Why am I so disappointed? 
They rejected me. 

457
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:08,600
But why, why why am I so upset? 
They won't pay attention to me. 

458
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,600
Why am I feeling abandoned? 
Because they didn't answer the 

459
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:22,800
phone. 
When I forfeit Valley, I never 

460
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,600
grow up. 
Think I'm lying. 

461
00:34:26,900 --> 00:34:32,699
And then as your endurance grows
even stronger, it will release 

462
00:34:32,699 --> 00:34:40,400
Perfection or maturity into 
every part of your being until 

463
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,000
there is nothing. 
Missing nothing broken. 

464
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:53,100
You need endurance to get to 
wholeness You need endurance 

465
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:55,800
holding this. 
Don't come from kale and 

466
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:03,500
treadmills. 
Hold, this comes from enduring, 

467
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:08,900
valleys, keeping character 
Walking In Love worshipping. 

468
00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:15,100
Despite what's going on, showing
up week after week. 

469
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:22,700
Day after day, loving loving, 
praising praising, giving giving

470
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:32,500
giving, and giving, and giving 
That's why he's saying if you be

471
00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:37,100
not weary in well-doing, if you 
faint not you shall reap. 

472
00:35:40,300 --> 00:35:44,200
You can't just show up. 
You gotta show up until you 

473
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:48,100
tried and you got to stay there 
until you go through the trying.

474
00:35:49,100 --> 00:35:52,000
That's why folks, I want to join
the church and I found a church 

475
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:56,500
home and then I want to serve 
and then the moment you get 

476
00:35:56,500 --> 00:36:00,100
tried the moment. 
It gets tough in the moment, the

477
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:02,200
enemy. 
Begins to surround you with 

478
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:10,000
travel and pressure. 
No, not knowing learning how I 

479
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:15,900
love going to the gym sometime. 
And you see those people pushing

480
00:36:15,900 --> 00:36:21,700
In Waves, a little tired behind 
that is so much heavy weight. 

481
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:25,400
But you don't you don't get 
strong off of one push. 

482
00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:29,700
You gotta get your muscle into a
state of fatigue. 

483
00:36:30,700 --> 00:36:33,100
You're not growing until you're 
fatigued. 

484
00:36:34,900 --> 00:36:37,000
I gotta trainers here. 
Am I right? 

485
00:36:37,300 --> 00:36:37,700
Right? 
Right. 

486
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:40,900
You like the shakes is where you
trying to get? 

487
00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:45,800
This is why resistance exercise 
is almost better than just 

488
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,500
carrying a bunch of weight 
because it's in the resisting, 

489
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:58,000
it's in the keeping it all for 
me and how long is but the 

490
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:02,100
moment someone feels a shake. 
They like put those ain't never 

491
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:03,600
been in the gym. 
That's when you do the way back 

492
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:10,600
on the bar, Instead of here you 
guys I love I hear your voice 

493
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,300
now, I hear you boys. 
What? 

494
00:37:13,300 --> 00:37:18,000
A trainer will tell you to do is
when you are challenged, he will

495
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:23,300
say, breathe through it. 
You will be amazed how much pain

496
00:37:23,300 --> 00:37:27,900
you can endure, when you learn 
how to breathe through it, 

497
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,100
because the moment your 
breathing pattern changes and 

498
00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:36,300
the breasts are quick and you 
are telling your body is under 

499
00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:38,500
attack. 
So your body immediately goes to

500
00:37:38,500 --> 00:37:44,000
flight instead of trade why we 
do the cold plunge is because 

501
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,300
the moment you jump in that 
water your body says, get out. 

502
00:37:48,100 --> 00:37:53,000
But when you breathe through it,
you train your body, how to be 

503
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,700
peaceful Under Pressure? 
Therefore, you can go from a 

504
00:37:56,700 --> 00:37:59,400
cold plunge of two minutes to 10
minutes. 

505
00:37:59,700 --> 00:38:02,600
You see the endurance in the 
coal? 

506
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,700
Because I told my body, we ain't
going nowhere. 

507
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:13,400
This is freezing is normal. 
Pressure is normal. 

508
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,200
So Paul says, I practice 
pressure. 

509
00:38:16,900 --> 00:38:21,200
I practice broken this. 
I put my body under. 

510
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:25,600
So when real pressure comes my 
witness remain strong. 

511
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,300
Remember playing basketball in 
college and when we practice, we

512
00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:37,200
will simulate the team we're 
playing. 

513
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,800
Can you imagine a team facing a 
press in a game? 

514
00:38:41,900 --> 00:38:44,100
Never practicing how to get out 
of press. 

515
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,900
Can you imagine players facing 
7-foot guys having to shoot over

516
00:38:51,900 --> 00:38:54,600
7 foot guys? 
If they they're coached in put a

517
00:38:54,607 --> 00:39:01,300
broom in front of them and this 
is where we fell in church. 

518
00:39:02,300 --> 00:39:04,200
We're too afraid to practice 
pressure. 

519
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:11,200
So when we faced pressure, we 
buckle and we blame the devil. 

520
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,400
The truth is you got to blame 
yourself for not developing 

521
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:21,200
endurance, developing endurance 
for you is on you, it's not on 

522
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,200
your spouse, it's not on your 
children, it's not on the 

523
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:30,500
pastor, it's not on the church, 
you have to grow up on your own 

524
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:37,500
and then the T joins you a gym 
is a community people like going

525
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:40,300
to gyms, because they're in an 
atmosphere where everybody's 

526
00:39:40,300 --> 00:39:48,300
working out and it encourages 
them Chaka Khan. 

527
00:39:51,700 --> 00:39:58,200
And if anybody longs to be wise,
ask God for wisdom and he will 

528
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,600
give it, he won't see your lack 
of wisdom as an opportunity to 

529
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,500
scold you over the your 
failures. 

530
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:05,300
Here it is. 
See on. 

531
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:10,700
He says he will overwhelm your 
failures kind of the top knee. 

532
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:13,400
There we go. 
He will overwhelm your failures 

533
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:18,500
with Grace. 
You notice when context, he 

534
00:40:18,500 --> 00:40:23,800
said, ask for wisdom in the 
valley, he'll give it to you. 

535
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,900
Let's keep pushing. 
Let's keep, pushing faith is not

536
00:40:27,900 --> 00:40:30,000
meant for us to ignore the 
valley. 

537
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,400
But to help us see from The 
Mountaintop. 

538
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,500
So I'm not ignoring that, I'm 
not that I'm going through 

539
00:40:36,500 --> 00:40:39,900
something but with faith, does 
it gives me a greatest 

540
00:40:39,900 --> 00:40:45,200
opportunity to see my Valley 
differently to see my enemies 

541
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:50,300
differently to see waiting 
differently faith. 

542
00:40:55,900 --> 00:40:58,400
There we go. 
Faith is not meant to get us out

543
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,300
the valley, but it's meant to 
keep us through the valley. 

544
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,800
We don't get to the Mountaintop 
through quick Valley exits. 

545
00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:13,800
Where's the exit? 
I don't know if I'll get it to 

546
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,300
it today, but I'll get to it 
tonight. 

547
00:41:15,300 --> 00:41:18,700
But there are several Valley 
phases that super vital for us 

548
00:41:18,700 --> 00:41:22,800
to know there's phases of the 
Val, just like there's phases of

549
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,600
grieving, there's phases in the 
valley. 

550
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:32,100
On our Ascent to the 
Mountaintop, every level you go 

551
00:41:32,100 --> 00:41:37,400
to has valleys, that's why it's 
to your benefit to conquer the 

552
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:43,200
valley you're in. 
Only through maturity. 

553
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:50,000
Do we find vacations in valleys,
And drinks in dry places. 

554
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:57,700
I will say, I will say this 
again, every level has valleys 

555
00:41:57,700 --> 00:42:03,200
only through maturity and they 
mature mature site. 

556
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,500
Do we find vacations in valleys 
and drinks and dry places. 

557
00:42:07,500 --> 00:42:12,300
I liken this to like playing in 
a very fast pace ball game, a 

558
00:42:12,300 --> 00:42:15,300
very smart ball. 
Player knows how to find rest 

559
00:42:15,300 --> 00:42:19,800
without coming off the floor. 
They know where to slow down. 

560
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,900
They know where to Sprint. 
They know how to find moments 

561
00:42:22,900 --> 00:42:26,100
and pockets of rest. 
So they can stay on the floor 

562
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,100
and it can I tell you guys, I 
need you to stop fainting so you

563
00:42:30,100 --> 00:42:34,600
can stay on the floor. 
It is too many Believers 

564
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,100
willingly. 
Ready to sit on the bench and 

565
00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:44,800
even go sit in the stands. 
Why are so many Christians not 

566
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:49,200
willing to stay on the floor, 
but they want a ring. 

567
00:42:51,100 --> 00:42:53,200
They want to be in the 
championship photo. 

568
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:59,700
They wanna pop champagne in the 
locker room and write the backs 

569
00:43:00,100 --> 00:43:02,900
of the ones willing to carry the
gospel. 

570
00:43:05,300 --> 00:43:08,200
How could you love yourself and 
be merely satisfied? 

571
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:13,400
You saved. 
I'm saved. 

572
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,300
And all you live on is the Lord 
for giving you and blessing you 

573
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,500
that's all you want from God. 
You don't want to know the one 

574
00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:25,400
who died for you. 
You don't want to say, hey, I'm 

575
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:26,700
a lift this up. 
I'm gonna say that's what I'm 

576
00:43:26,707 --> 00:43:27,700
gonna go. 
Get my life, right? 

577
00:43:27,700 --> 00:43:29,600
So it's a witness. 
I want to be the light of the 

578
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,600
world. 
I don't want to be a damn, like,

579
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,500
I don't want to be confusing. 
Stop sign. 

580
00:43:34,900 --> 00:43:37,300
I want to be a clear route to 
you. 

581
00:43:37,300 --> 00:43:42,600
The destination Jesus. 
So then I got to get around 

582
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,200
people that's like wedding. 
All right? 

583
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:53,800
I'm Tom all dogs in the faith, 
the valley symbolizes fertility 

584
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:59,000
and life. 
Can I talk to you, the valley, 

585
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:06,300
symbolizes fertility and life. 
The valley is a place of the 

586
00:44:06,300 --> 00:44:11,700
pregnant. 
Pause, it's the place of the 

587
00:44:11,700 --> 00:44:17,300
anchored awesomeness meet me. 
I'm I'm not moving, but it's 

588
00:44:17,300 --> 00:44:22,400
awesome. 
I find awesome in Steel. 

589
00:44:26,100 --> 00:44:28,400
All you, you gotta get this 
people because the world is 

590
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,600
telling you move, move, move, 
move, move move, move move, 

591
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,800
move, move grind, grind, grind, 
grind, grind money, money, 

592
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,100
money, money, keep going. 
Keep going grind. 

593
00:44:36,100 --> 00:44:38,300
If you don't grind, if you don't
keep moving, you don't keep 

594
00:44:38,300 --> 00:44:39,900
doing it. 
If you don't move It, shake it 

595
00:44:39,900 --> 00:44:42,000
up. 
You ain't gonna make it. 

596
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,600
That's what the world telling 
you to do every single day and 

597
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,800
we have a world that do not know
how to sit in the valley. 

598
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,100
The valley is the place of 
mundane movements not just 

599
00:45:01,100 --> 00:45:06,200
moments. 
There's movement in the again, 

600
00:45:07,700 --> 00:45:14,300
there's movement in the mundane.
The valley is the irritating 

601
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,000
irrigation system of the Kingdom
of Heaven. 

602
00:45:21,100 --> 00:45:27,900
It is so irritating to be in the
valley but when you have site 

603
00:45:27,900 --> 00:45:31,900
that's the place where God 
Waters, you and nurtures you and

604
00:45:31,900 --> 00:45:36,800
develops, you It is an 
irrigation system that the world

605
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:41,500
does not understand. 
You think the promise is in Bali

606
00:45:41,500 --> 00:45:46,300
somewhere. 
It's in Fiji on the water. 

607
00:45:46,300 --> 00:45:48,400
You can see the bottom of the 
ocean. 

608
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:56,200
Big, cantaloupes and watermelons
and pineapples, that's Jesus. 

609
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:03,300
No, I'm not gonna get to it 
today, but there's this 

610
00:46:03,300 --> 00:46:07,900
parallel, that God brought me to
this morning between mana and 

611
00:46:07,900 --> 00:46:11,800
Jesus and between the promise 
and the Holy Ghost. 

612
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,100
That's why he's on the bread of 
life. 

613
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,100
John 4:4 says, there's a whale 
that's water. 

614
00:46:20,100 --> 00:46:21,600
Getting to you. 
Holy Ghost. 

615
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:26,100
When you live in the promise, 
water comes out, you and your 

616
00:46:26,100 --> 00:46:30,400
life is not all about you. 
There's healing, when water can 

617
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,500
get the Living Water can get 
through you. 

618
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,900
Some of you are sick, because 
you got what's that River? 

619
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:42,600
What could be up guys, stagnant 
water, God can't get his life 

620
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,800
through you all. 
All you want to do is have 

621
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,900
salvation for yourself. 
All you want to do is be saved 

622
00:46:48,900 --> 00:46:52,500
but there's no water flowing 
through you there for you got 

623
00:46:52,500 --> 00:46:54,100
Stillwater. 
That's why you stank. 

624
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,500
Your attitude stinks. 
If we was a crack, open your 

625
00:46:59,500 --> 00:47:00,800
mind. 
It stinks. 

626
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,600
The negativity stinks, the 
complaining stinks. 

627
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:09,800
How are you stuck there? 
It's because God is trying to 

628
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,000
get life through you and you're 
trying to get life from someone 

629
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:17,400
else. 
And you have made your spouse, 

630
00:47:17,500 --> 00:47:21,000
your job, you'll Savior, and God
loves you so much. 

631
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:25,300
He will not allow them to give 
you what you ask him for until 

632
00:47:25,300 --> 00:47:35,200
you turn the him and make him. 
You'll Supply His house was 

633
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:39,000
never made to be Jesus, and God 
is like, go ahead. 

634
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,400
Make them Jesus. 
Let's see how much he brings joy

635
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,000
to you. 
She brings joy to you. 

636
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:48,700
Nah, some of us get sick because
God can't move through us. 

637
00:47:52,300 --> 00:48:01,400
My oil is in the valley. 
Isaiah 61 says the oil of Joy 

638
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,600
instead of mourning. 
You see the trade. 

639
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:10,600
Hey, meet me in the valley, he 
gives me morning for he gives me

640
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,800
and he gives me dancing or joy 
for my morning dancing for my 

641
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,000
morning, right? 
There's this Exchange. 

642
00:48:21,300 --> 00:48:24,600
Psalm 23, all Chaka. 
Come, that's why we need to 

643
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,300
services, or you got to service.
We don't finish this tonight. 

644
00:48:28,300 --> 00:48:31,000
We don't finish this tonight and
tonight you're going to get 

645
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,800
them. 
Seven phases of the valley, it's

646
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:39,700
going really bless your socks, 
the Lord is my shepherd. 

647
00:48:40,900 --> 00:48:45,700
My wife. 
Ain't my shepherd as much as I 

648
00:48:45,700 --> 00:48:48,800
am a man Under Shepherd. 
I am not the shepherd. 

649
00:48:50,300 --> 00:48:56,800
I shall not or to feed me to 
guide me into Shield me, right. 

650
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,600
Lot of us, looking for a spouse 
to do that. 

651
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:06,400
The Lord is your shepherd. 
I shall not lack. 

652
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,900
He makes me he met. 
He loves you so much. 

653
00:49:09,900 --> 00:49:13,300
He makes me lie down in fresh 
tender, Green Pastures. 

654
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:17,600
He leads me beside the steel and
restful Waters. 

655
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,600
He refreshes Has and restores my
life. 

656
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,300
He leads me. 
This is super. 

657
00:49:23,300 --> 00:49:27,900
So crucial, he leads me in the 
paths of righteousness 

658
00:49:28,500 --> 00:49:31,700
uprightness and right standing 
with him, not for my earning it,

659
00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:36,200
but look for his namesake. 
Understand what namesake is it 

660
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,800
is for the purpose of or 
interest in having the same 

661
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,800
name? 
He's he's going to keep me to 

662
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:50,100
protect his name. 
The tation on the line so he got

663
00:49:50,100 --> 00:49:54,200
to show up in my life and as 
good a man. 

664
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:58,300
So that's why no matter how I'm 
acting God has a name on the 

665
00:49:58,300 --> 00:50:02,300
line that even when I act a 
fool, I wonder why bless him 

666
00:50:02,300 --> 00:50:05,000
still coming. 
Even when I tried to destroy my 

667
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,700
family, I wonder why he keeps it
together. 

668
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:13,300
It's before his namesake. 
Why he going to bless this 

669
00:50:13,300 --> 00:50:17,700
church because his namesake, why
he gonna get you out your pit 

670
00:50:17,700 --> 00:50:28,500
because of his name's sake. 
Yea though I walk through the 

671
00:50:28,500 --> 00:50:33,800
walkthrough I love, this is good
news right here. 

672
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,200
This is good news right here. 
Walk through this sick this 

673
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,000
tells me the valley ain't for me
to stay. 

674
00:50:40,100 --> 00:50:44,300
Here's a place for me to what 
walk through and when you know 

675
00:50:44,300 --> 00:50:48,000
you just walking through you 
ain't gonna mind you don't mind 

676
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,000
going through you ever uh you 
ever catch a bus where got a few

677
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,400
stops. 
You can't catch a bus without 

678
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,300
going through some, right? 
You don't ever get on the bus 

679
00:50:55,300 --> 00:50:57,600
and the Battelle, the bus 
driver, take me to my stop. 

680
00:50:59,500 --> 00:51:01,700
Right? 
When you fly overseas, you fly 

681
00:51:01,700 --> 00:51:04,800
through places. 
When you got layovers, you go 

682
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,200
through places. 
If you don't get to the promise,

683
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:13,600
I'm sorry to tell you, but you 
gonna go through places The 

684
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,900
Valleys meant to go through. 
Not around. 

685
00:51:18,100 --> 00:51:23,400
He says I will fear or dread. 
No evil. 

686
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,300
Did he perspective for your with
me? 

687
00:51:28,700 --> 00:51:33,100
Your Rod and staff. 
In other words, your Authority. 

688
00:51:33,700 --> 00:51:38,700
They comfort me. 
If I'm walking through the 

689
00:51:38,700 --> 00:51:42,100
valley, it must mean. 
If long as I stay on my path, 

690
00:51:42,100 --> 00:51:46,800
I'm heading out. 
I want you to see this in the 

691
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:53,900
valley. 
You prepare a table before me in

692
00:51:53,900 --> 00:52:03,600
the presence of my enemies. 
Why you want any other table? 

693
00:52:06,300 --> 00:52:09,200
Why you want your degrees table?
Are you want your jobs table, 

694
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,700
why you want the world's table, 
God's right there? 

695
00:52:12,700 --> 00:52:16,300
Preparing you a luscious table a
garden with all kind of trees. 

696
00:52:16,300 --> 00:52:17,700
He just like, don't touch that 
one. 

697
00:52:18,300 --> 00:52:19,800
Don't touch that one. 
You can have the 99. 

698
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:31,400
Don't touch one. 
You anoint my head with oil. 

699
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:40,500
And I'm anointed. 
A my cup runs over. 

700
00:52:42,900 --> 00:52:52,100
I'm anointed for the valley. 
I have been equipped before the 

701
00:52:52,100 --> 00:52:55,100
valley. 
I have been anointed in the 

702
00:52:55,100 --> 00:53:00,200
valley and I am empowered for 
the Mountaintop. 

703
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,400
In the valley, David finds this 
in his belly. 

704
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:19,300
Surely goodness and mercy. 
Unfailing love, shall follow me.

705
00:53:19,900 --> 00:53:25,600
Now, I wish you can get the 
imagination of mercy and 

706
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:37,200
goodness following you. 
No matter where you go, you you 

707
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:44,400
ready, go to go go go go in the 
crack house goodness and mercy 

708
00:53:45,100 --> 00:53:48,900
going to follow. 
You be divorce goodness and 

709
00:53:48,900 --> 00:53:53,300
mercy gonna follow you be sick 
goodness and mercy it's going to

710
00:53:53,308 --> 00:53:56,300
follow you. 
It is say you're taking goodness

711
00:53:56,300 --> 00:53:58,700
and mercy. 
It just says goodness and mercy 

712
00:53:58,900 --> 00:54:03,400
is To follow you. 
Everywhere you go all the days 

713
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,400
of your life. 
That's good news right there. 

714
00:54:07,700 --> 00:54:11,600
So when I'm in the Valley, if my
mind is not on goodness, and 

715
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:15,600
mercy is in the valley with me. 
I'm freaked out. 

716
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:21,300
And through the length of my 
days, the house of the Lord, the

717
00:54:21,300 --> 00:54:24,700
house of the Lord, the house of 
the Lord. 

718
00:54:24,700 --> 00:54:30,300
Not the club, the house of the 
Lord, the house of the Lord 

719
00:54:30,300 --> 00:54:42,600
shall be my Dwelling Place. 
We're on a lan and Matthew War. 

720
00:54:45,900 --> 00:54:47,400
Well, that's a good place. 
That's a good place. 

721
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:51,600
That's a good place. 
Okay, so I'm going to end 

722
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,700
looking at Jesus in the valley 
to save. 

723
00:54:55,700 --> 00:54:57,700
You guess what? 
Jesus had to do, go through the 

724
00:54:57,700 --> 00:55:03,000
valley. 
To get back to Heaven. 

725
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,600
Guess what? 
He had to do, go through the 

726
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:08,700
valley. 
But I want you to see something 

727
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:11,900
of how he responded in the 
valley. 

728
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:18,000
I want you to see that Jesus was
full of power going into the 

729
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,600
valley and then the Bible says 
he was full of power when he 

730
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:27,600
came out the valley, but in the 
midst of the valley, all he had 

731
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:35,600
was the word. 
Afterward the Holy Spirit Led 

732
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:39,300
Jesus, who let Jesus into the 
valley. 

733
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:45,300
This is a Divine Valley. 
This is not a Jonah Valley. 

734
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,500
No Jonah LED himself to the 
well. 

735
00:55:50,500 --> 00:55:54,400
Get what you see the difference.
So I don't want people to think 

736
00:55:54,500 --> 00:55:57,500
that God just be throwing people
in about no, no, and I don't 

737
00:55:57,500 --> 00:56:00,800
want you to be like, oh, when 
you see he was tested, it's not 

738
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,600
he was tested. 
It was he was proven. 

739
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:10,200
God does not test you, he proves
you and he only proves you just 

740
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,400
like when someone makes a car it
has to be proven before it can 

741
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:18,400
be put out on the market, right?
So Jesus is being proven because

742
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:22,700
prior to he was he was baptized 
and he was affirmed. 

743
00:56:24,700 --> 00:56:30,000
So before you get your platform 
before you get your promotion, 

744
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:35,400
before you get to your necks, 
you should love yourself enough 

745
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,700
to not. 
Ask God to open a door when you 

746
00:56:38,700 --> 00:56:43,900
have not fulfilled the Cycles in
this season. 

747
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,700
If you love yourself, you won't 
be asking God for a husband, 

748
00:56:50,700 --> 00:56:53,800
when you ain't did the things to
develop to be a wife. 

749
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,700
And if you ain't a man, I'm a 
man, not a male. 

750
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:01,800
You shouldn't be asking for a 
wife. 

751
00:57:01,900 --> 00:57:05,300
If you haven't done the things 
to take to be a husband. 

752
00:57:06,700 --> 00:57:11,100
Because you're asking God to 
open a door for me that I am not

753
00:57:11,100 --> 00:57:17,600
ready to stay in hate. 
Getting you, there is the easy 

754
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:22,600
part, keeping you married 
keeping you on the Mountaintop, 

755
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:28,500
keeping you with that Lottery 
money, all all the lotto ticket 

756
00:57:28,500 --> 00:57:33,100
buyers, amen. 
Your chances better tithe and 

757
00:57:33,100 --> 00:57:37,500

Okay, get that Lottery demon up 

758
00:57:37,500 --> 00:57:40,300
out of here right now in Jesus 
name is not wasting your money. 

759
00:57:41,900 --> 00:57:43,700
I don't know. 
Dad, just hit my spirit a lot. 

760
00:57:43,700 --> 00:57:44,900
Old a lot o. 
Amen. 

761
00:57:44,900 --> 00:57:51,900
Hallelujah. 
Folks be trying to get bless. 

762
00:57:51,900 --> 00:57:54,000
Amen. 
Let me if you play the lotto, 

763
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,600
you gonna spend all that money, 
people, people that don't even 

764
00:57:56,600 --> 00:58:00,500
know how to manage money. 
Play the lotto whole family 

765
00:58:00,500 --> 00:58:02,900

We bless your name is no, tell 

766
00:58:02,900 --> 00:58:06,200
her testimony. 
Amen, amen. 

767
00:58:06,300 --> 00:58:08,500
Alright, back to the back to the
valley. 

768
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,300
Afterward the Holy Spirit Led 
Jesus Into the Wilderness who 

769
00:58:15,300 --> 00:58:17,900
led Jesus Into the Wilderness. 
Huh. 

770
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,000
Holy Spirit. 
Not the holy devil. 

771
00:58:20,300 --> 00:58:22,000
The Holy Spirit. 
Okay? 

772
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,900
Just make sure you straight. 
Who let them the Lord. 

773
00:58:24,900 --> 00:58:28,800
LED Jesus Into the Wilderness. 
You ready? 

774
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:29,800
You see this off? 
Neil? 

775
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,100
What did he lead him into the 
stew to the valley? 

776
00:58:33,300 --> 00:58:35,100
What he what he lead them? 
What did to do? 

777
00:58:35,100 --> 00:58:39,000
What to stop? 
Pause to have an experience. 

778
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:43,600
right, you know thrill junkies 
let me tell you some, it's 

779
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,100
nothing cool about jumping out 
of a plane and hoping the 

780
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:51,700
parachute opens Okay, you throw 
yourself into a valley. 

781
00:58:54,300 --> 00:58:55,700
Right? 
Bungee jumping just throwing 

782
00:58:55,700 --> 00:58:58,400
yourself to the ground and 
hoping that thing just beam. 

783
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:00,700
No, no, that's a valley k for 
me. 

784
00:59:00,700 --> 00:59:07,600
That's a valley. 
Understand, but people do it. 

785
00:59:07,900 --> 00:59:13,100
Although it's scary and risky, 
they want the experience. 

786
00:59:14,100 --> 00:59:20,500
And when you can find thrill in 
Valley, you won't mind staying. 

787
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:27,500
And some of y'all will jump out 
a plane in a minute and struggle

788
00:59:27,500 --> 00:59:32,800
trusting. 
God. all you faithless, bungee 

789
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:38,400
jumpers all the, all you Come 
on, bastard. 

790
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:39,700
Come on. 
Surfing the Sharks. 

791
00:59:39,700 --> 00:59:42,800
Don't buy sharks and you just 
don't understand sharks. 

792
00:59:43,300 --> 00:59:45,000
No, you don't understand. 
Jesus. 

793
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:48,100
That's why you don't trust Jesus
but you trust sharks. 

794
00:59:49,500 --> 00:59:56,200
That's crazy. 
It wouldn't mind like it so it's

795
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:59,100
an it's like an honor if they 
arm get bitten off. 

796
01:00:00,700 --> 01:00:04,200
What won't you just trust God, 
right? 

797
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:09,600
Let it be an honor you got some 
Faith scars right? 

798
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,900
You lost some friends, I rather 
lose friends then no. 

799
01:00:12,900 --> 01:00:18,300
And then limbs Didn't you feel 
me? 

800
01:00:18,500 --> 01:00:21,000
Not again. 
Didn't take Danielle, no, no, 

801
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,400
give me my arms. 
I do all my friends can leave. 

802
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:27,000
Get my arms. 
Alright, the Holy Spirit Led 

803
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,400
Jesus Into the Wilderness to 
experience the ordeal of 

804
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,600
testing. 
Here's the difference. 

805
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:39,000
Divine is God is obligated to be
with you when he takes you in 

806
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:42,100
the valley. 
And this is why you shouldn't be

807
01:00:42,100 --> 01:00:46,200
trying to have extra Valley 
moments, you're gonna have some,

808
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:51,400
okay? 
And after fasting, for 40 days, 

809
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:56,400
Jesus was extremely hungry. 
Then. 

810
01:00:57,700 --> 01:01:02,500
The tempter came to him and 
said, how can you possibly be 

811
01:01:02,500 --> 01:01:05,000
see this, be the Son of God and 
go hungry. 

812
01:01:05,900 --> 01:01:14,300
Number one, The valley is mint. 
To bring you to a place of 

813
01:01:14,300 --> 01:01:18,900
starvation. 
It means it's a means of 

814
01:01:18,900 --> 01:01:25,000
birthing desperation in God. 
Number two of Valley is there to

815
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:30,400
test your test and develop 
sonship first thing, Jesus is 

816
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:35,300
tested on is how could you 
possibly be the son of God? 

817
01:01:36,300 --> 01:01:40,100
And not have what you should 
have. 

818
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,800
And how many people are here are
are antsy because you thought 

819
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,300
you should have been further in 
life. 

820
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:49,900
Are you thought you should have 
this or this opportunity or this

821
01:01:49,900 --> 01:01:51,800
or this or that? 
And that's the Enemy talking in 

822
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,600
your head because you hungry, 
you thirsty, for something and 

823
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:56,700
more. 
And next, and the moment you get

824
01:01:56,700 --> 01:01:58,500
hungry and thirsty and more for 
next. 

825
01:01:58,500 --> 01:02:00,100
Then, guess what? 
The enemy's going to do now, you

826
01:02:00,100 --> 01:02:04,300
don't need here, you need there.
You don't need her. 

827
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,800
You need her. 
You don't need that. 

828
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,400
You need that, because you're 
hungry. 

829
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:14,400
And instead of being still and 
letting the Lord feed you you 

830
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:18,300
start trying to feed yourself. 
He said just command these 

831
01:02:18,300 --> 01:02:21,400
stones to be turned into love to
loaves of bread. 

832
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,000
The little Nook down there is 
when you go in the valley, you 

833
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,300
better know the truth. 
He answered the scriptures. 

834
01:02:29,300 --> 01:02:31,800
Say what did, how did Jesus 
answer in the valley? 

835
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:36,400
Yeah, that the scripture say 
bread alone will not satisfy me.

836
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:41,600
We take that. 
As with the Lord, the bread of 

837
01:02:41,607 --> 01:02:44,800
the, the just their logos. 
We could also take it, just just

838
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:46,700
flesh, feed me. 
It would not satisfy me. 

839
01:02:48,700 --> 01:02:52,700
But true life is found in every 
word when you go through the 

840
01:02:52,700 --> 01:02:54,600
valley, you better learn how to 
keep listening. 

841
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:02,200
True life is found in every word
then the accuser transported G, 

842
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:09,700
who transported, Jesus the 
Temptation, the weakness, the 

843
01:03:09,700 --> 01:03:14,400
vulnerability, took him to the 
holy city of Jerusalem and 

844
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:16,500
perched him at the highest point
of the Temple. 

845
01:03:16,700 --> 01:03:21,200
Look, the devil will take you to
the Mountaintop, he answered. 

846
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:26,300
Or and said to him, if you 
really godson jump, what's being

847
01:03:26,300 --> 01:03:31,000
tested again, sonship trusting 
God and the angels are catch 

848
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:32,400
you. 
I want you to know this is some 

849
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,000
people don't know this but the 
devil just threw a scripture out

850
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:39,000
at them. 
It's Psalm 91 for the devil to 

851
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,000
tempt you. 
Do you notice when people say 

852
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,600
they hear from God, they always 
going to come with a word or The

853
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,500
God said or scripture you can 
find a scripture to back up 

854
01:03:46,500 --> 01:03:50,500
anything. 
So just because you like, I got 

855
01:03:50,500 --> 01:03:53,000
a word and here's the scripture 
I'm standing on, you can stand 

856
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,200
on it, all you want to, let's 
see when the rain coming, the 

857
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,400
wind blow, if it's really the 
word. 

858
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:01,800
For it is written in the 
scriptures, he will command his 

859
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:05,500
angels to protect you. 
They will lift you up so that 

860
01:04:05,500 --> 01:04:08,300
you won't even bruise your foot 
on a rock. 

861
01:04:08,300 --> 01:04:12,700
Once again Jesus said to him 
once again, you see it again 

862
01:04:13,500 --> 01:04:17,600
because it starts off declaring 
the word, but the enemy is 

863
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:21,400
Relentless, your flesh is 
Relentless and eventually you 

864
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:31,900
will begin to reason. 
You must never put the word, the

865
01:04:31,900 --> 01:04:35,600
Lord, your God to attest and the
Lord. 

866
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:39,900
And the third time, the accuser 
lifted Jesus up on to a very 

867
01:04:39,900 --> 01:04:41,600
high mountain. 
You see how the enemy keeps 

868
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,800
taking them higher? 
Let me help you. 

869
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:48,600
The enemy got places to take you
that same high but they're meant

870
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:57,000
to make you fall far, we see it 
all the time in the media. 

871
01:05:07,500 --> 01:05:10,600
He showed him all the kingdoms 
of the world and all the 

872
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,000
Splendor that goes with it. 
Can I help you today? 

873
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,200
He showed him. 
He tempted. 

874
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:19,200
Jesus. 
With what Jesus came to do. 

875
01:05:21,900 --> 01:05:26,700
True Temptation will always 
enter the areas of your 

876
01:05:26,700 --> 01:05:34,100
interests. 
I want to be this so it looks 

877
01:05:34,100 --> 01:05:36,300
like it's a better opportunity 
for me to do that over there. 

878
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:40,300
I want to be developed that. 
The enemy is going to test you 

879
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,700
where your thirst is. 
Your desires are your hungers 

880
01:05:44,700 --> 01:05:49,100
are your purpose? 
Is your interests are or 

881
01:05:49,100 --> 01:05:52,000
wouldn't be tempting. 
Jesus came. 

882
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:58,600
To get the keys to the kingdom. 
The devil says, here's the 

883
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:06,100
shortcut to your purpose. 
And all the Splendor here it is.

884
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:10,100
What comes with the enemy's 
temptation is flattery. 

885
01:06:10,700 --> 01:06:13,700
The Lord rarely tells you the 
benefits. 

886
01:06:15,900 --> 01:06:18,800
Did you hear me? 
He never tells you. 

887
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:21,300
If you do this, you're going to 
get this, you're going to get 

888
01:06:21,300 --> 01:06:24,000
that, it's going to be better, 
it's going to be smarter. 

889
01:06:24,100 --> 01:06:25,700
It's going to be more people 
that like you. 

890
01:06:25,700 --> 01:06:27,300
You're gonna get more time doing
this. 

891
01:06:27,500 --> 01:06:34,100
God never delivers it. 
God, normally says go and leaves

892
01:06:34,100 --> 01:06:38,000
it at that, but when you start 
getting flattered by the enemy, 

893
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:40,600
this is what is what he says? 
He says, he says, what, what do 

894
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:42,000
you mean, God's? 
Trying to keep something from 

895
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,200
you, man, if you eat from that 
tree, you'll become more. 

896
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:48,700
Right. 
His flattery and you see what he

897
01:06:48,700 --> 01:06:50,700
says. 
Oh, get all the kingdoms of the 

898
01:06:50,700 --> 01:06:53,500
world and all Splendor that goes
with it. 

899
01:06:54,200 --> 01:07:00,400
Watch the flattery and the sales
pitches God needs no sales 

900
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:02,600
pitch, he's confident in his 
purpose. 

901
01:07:03,900 --> 01:07:12,300
The devil needs sell pitches. 
All of these kingdoms I will 

902
01:07:12,300 --> 01:07:19,400
give to you if only you kneel 
down before me and worship me. 

903
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:25,300
But Jesus said, go away for the 
scriptures. 

904
01:07:25,300 --> 01:07:29,800
Say kneel before the Lord, your 
God and worship. 

905
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:34,100
Only him. 
I'm not worship in my flesh, the

906
01:07:34,100 --> 01:07:36,300
season. 
When your flesh is revving up, 

907
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:37,900
do not go. 
Find a scripture. 

908
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:43,200
What I mean by that is I have 
been in my flesh and said, God, 

909
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,600
I know you calling them in this 
and you start feeding your 

910
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:47,300
flesh. 
And before, you know, it God 

911
01:07:47,300 --> 01:07:54,500
said for years later, if you 
humble enough like The Prodigal 

912
01:07:54,500 --> 01:07:58,900
Son, you going to return because
there's a route. 

913
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:04,700
He says the temptation of 
opportunity. 

914
01:08:07,100 --> 01:08:17,600
Some of us worship opportunity. 
Opportunity, can't be my guide 

915
01:08:17,700 --> 01:08:23,000
or my God. 
So we see Jesus at once the 

916
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:27,700
accuser left him. 
This is super crucial for you 

917
01:08:27,700 --> 01:08:29,800
guys to get as you go home 
tonight. 

918
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:39,399
After Jesus was tried three 
times, the accuser had to end 

919
01:08:39,399 --> 01:08:43,600
it. 
The good news is if you resist, 

920
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:49,899
the enemy has to flee. 
It says an angel suddenly 

921
01:08:49,899 --> 01:08:53,399
gathered around Angels didn't 
gather the three times. 

922
01:08:54,399 --> 01:08:58,500
The Angels did run and 
strengthen him on first test and

923
01:08:58,500 --> 01:09:03,100
second test. 
It came after third tests, they 

924
01:09:03,100 --> 01:09:06,399
surrounded. 
Jesus and ministered, his needs 

925
01:09:06,399 --> 01:09:13,300
after he resisted. 
Fulfillment did not arrive until

926
01:09:13,300 --> 01:09:17,800
the full cycle of the trying of 
his faith was finished. 

927
01:09:19,700 --> 01:09:23,200
You see when the devil had 
finished every Temptation, Luke 

928
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:28,300
forces, same, same passage, but 
Luke says it the temperature 

929
01:09:28,899 --> 01:09:32,300
when the devil had finished 
every Temptation, you see it, 

930
01:09:33,100 --> 01:09:38,200
the devil will run out of tries.
Can you withstand all his 

931
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:42,500
attempts? 
He is not infinite, he is not 

932
01:09:42,500 --> 01:09:46,000
Eternal, he is not all knowing 
he is not omniscient. 

933
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:53,399
He is not, I'm not present. 
He is limited left him until a 

934
01:09:53,399 --> 01:09:56,200
more opportune. 
You see this, he's coming back. 

935
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,500
This is why you need to 
strengthen yourself because he's

936
01:09:59,500 --> 01:10:03,300
coming back. 
Can you withstand the full cycle

937
01:10:03,300 --> 01:10:05,300
is? 
The question first for that was 

938
01:10:05,300 --> 01:10:08,200
verse verse 13. 
He says, and when the devil had 

939
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:12,800
ended every when he can The 
complete cycle of Temptation, he

940
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:16,400
is tempting has Cycles. 
That's what we're going to deal 

941
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:19,400
with. 
Tonight is these Valley Cycles, 

942
01:10:19,900 --> 01:10:24,800
he temporarily left him. 
That is he stood off from him 

943
01:10:25,100 --> 01:10:29,000
and watched and studied him and 
listen to their complaining and 

944
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,200
their inconsistencies in their 
flesh? 

945
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:35,500
Fleshiness waiting for a more 
opportune favorable time to get 

946
01:10:35,500 --> 01:10:37,600
right back and it's why it's 
very dangerous. 

947
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:42,500
When you think that devil let 
you alone you think you free the

948
01:10:42,500 --> 01:10:46,600
devil leaving you alone. 
Does not is not as sign you've 

949
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:50,000
renewed your mind. 
No. 

950
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:55,600
He had to leave you alone and in
the time of breaks, you should 

951
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:59,900
be transforming. 
There's a season to fight and 

952
01:10:59,900 --> 01:11:08,000
there's a season to transform. 
The valley is the place where 

953
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:13,500
scientists tested and sharpen. 
Can you keep your eyes on God's 

954
01:11:13,500 --> 01:11:16,700
now word? 
Not trying to find God's next 

955
01:11:16,700 --> 01:11:22,300
word. 
How's your focus? 

956
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,200
These are questions. 
You going to go home with. 

957
01:11:24,900 --> 01:11:28,400
How's your focus in the belly of
the Valley? 

958
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:33,100
Now that you may not have the 
passion, you had at the lips of 

959
01:11:33,100 --> 01:11:38,200
the valley? 
I know that's hard to understand

960
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,400
the belly of the valley, the 
middle of the valley, the meat 

961
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:44,900
of the valley because everybody 
was excited when they first got 

962
01:11:44,900 --> 01:11:49,000
saved everybody was excited when
they first got that new job. 

963
01:11:49,100 --> 01:11:52,300
Everybody was excited when they 
found love quests or whatever 

964
01:11:52,300 --> 01:11:55,400
Church everybody was excited 
when they started they new job 

965
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:59,100
but that's at the lips of the 
valley but now you and the meat 

966
01:11:59,100 --> 01:12:02,500
of it and Trouble Comes, 
everybody was excited at the 

967
01:12:02,500 --> 01:12:06,500
altar at a marriage. and then 
you got in the belly of your 

968
01:12:06,500 --> 01:12:13,600
marriage, you like whom How's 
your focus in the belly of the 

969
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:17,100
Valley? 
Now that you may not have the 

970
01:12:17,100 --> 01:12:22,100
same passion, you had at the 
lips of the valley? 

971
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:29,200
Is your focus fueled by Passion 
or faith in the word passion. 

972
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:39,000
Will not keep you in the valley 
faith will I want you to take a 

973
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:40,800
picture of these two scriptures 
K. 

974
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:43,800
Pull out your phone. 
I'm not going to see some of you

975
01:12:43,808 --> 01:12:52,500
tonight. 
Look for Jesus went in the 

976
01:12:52,508 --> 01:12:56,800
valley full of the Holy Ghost. 
Verse 14. 

977
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:01,100
He came out of the valley full 
of the Holy Ghost. 

978
01:13:01,700 --> 01:13:05,300
You see this you should go in 
excited and full. 

979
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:07,400
You should come out even more 
full. 

980
01:13:08,100 --> 01:13:12,500
You see this? 
You should not transition 

981
01:13:12,500 --> 01:13:23,000
seasons on empty. 
Now, take a picture And 

982
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:26,100
remember, the only power Jesus 
had in the middle of the valley 

983
01:13:26,900 --> 01:13:32,400
was the word. 
Take a picture of Luke 22 41 

984
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:38,400
through 44. 
And I want you to see in the 

985
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:43,000
valley, he pulled away from the 
crowd, when you're in the 

986
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:49,200
valley, you can't stay busy. 
When you're in the valley, you 

987
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:51,000
got to pull away from 
negativity. 

988
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:56,600
Are some people you live with 
that's - guess what? 

989
01:13:56,700 --> 01:13:58,500
Be smart enough? 
Not to start certain 

990
01:13:58,500 --> 01:14:02,300
conversations. because, you 
know, when you asked him that 

991
01:14:02,300 --> 01:14:09,800
one question, That's that. 
You got to be there for our No 

992
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:12,900
seriously, sometimes you got to 
be wise enough to not start a 

993
01:14:12,907 --> 01:14:17,700
certain conversation. 
You know, when that person call 

994
01:14:17,700 --> 01:14:20,700
your phone and you see who it 
is, you like, I gotta answer 

995
01:14:20,700 --> 01:14:22,200
that one. 
I got some energy. 

996
01:14:25,700 --> 01:14:30,700
He pulled away. 
And talk to the Lord. 

997
01:14:30,700 --> 01:14:35,100
And he said, Lord I want to get 
out of this Valley but not my 

998
01:14:35,100 --> 01:14:40,200
will, I want you to see this. 
It was after he surrendered to 

999
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:45,500
God's will once again, I want 
you to see that his ministry 

1000
01:14:45,500 --> 01:14:50,200
started in the valley and his 
life ended in the valley. 

1001
01:14:51,700 --> 01:14:57,100
His ministry started and 
continued with angels 

1002
01:14:57,100 --> 01:14:59,500
strengthening him after he 
surrendered. 

1003
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:01,100
Third. 
And then in the Garden of 

1004
01:15:01,100 --> 01:15:05,100
Gethsemane Valley, Angel 
strengthened him. 

1005
01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:09,100
After he surrendered in both 
places Jesus, his ministry 

1006
01:15:09,100 --> 01:15:12,600
started in the valley and his 
life ended in the valley. 

1007
01:15:12,700 --> 01:15:15,200
And the way, his life ended was 
still his ministry. 

1008
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:25,600
The cross was his ministry. 
And he did not get strength or 

1009
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:30,400
anointing to finish until he 
surrendered to the cross. 

1010
01:15:32,300 --> 01:15:35,500
Some of y'all want anointing 
without the cross. 

1011
01:15:36,700 --> 01:15:41,000
And the Bible tells you, if you 
want a Resurrection Life, you 

1012
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:50,000
gotta also walk in the cross. 
The valley is where we agonize 

1013
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:54,700
over, God's will not ours. 
There's always help in the 

1014
01:15:54,700 --> 01:15:57,600
valley to get through the valley
when we stop rushing trying to 

1015
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:08,000
get out the valley. 
I don't know who you are. 

1016
01:16:09,500 --> 01:16:11,800
But there's refreshing in the 
valley. 

1017
01:16:13,500 --> 01:16:15,800
There's peace in the valley. 
There's joy in the valley, 

1018
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:19,100
there's love in the valley. 
There's Hope in the valley. 

1019
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:27,700
The valley is not a bad place. 
You just got to be willing to 

1020
01:16:27,700 --> 01:16:31,100
fight in the valley. 
And not fight for your own 

1021
01:16:31,100 --> 01:16:34,100
desires. 
Some of you are worried because 

1022
01:16:34,100 --> 01:16:38,400
you're fighting for someone to 
change, that's not a good fight 

1023
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:40,000
because that's not in your 
control. 

1024
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:47,100
What is in your control? 
Is you changing Today is the 

1025
01:16:47,100 --> 01:16:48,700
day. 
You take your joy out of 

1026
01:16:48,700 --> 01:16:54,700
somebody else's hands. 
Today. 

1027
01:16:54,700 --> 01:16:56,700
Today, I told y'all my mama, my 
mama here. 

1028
01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:59,300
I told y'all she raised me with.
Oh well. 

1029
01:17:02,300 --> 01:17:04,700
There's some people in here 
today need to make the decision.

1030
01:17:04,700 --> 01:17:06,900
I don't hear how married you 
are, how close you are. 

1031
01:17:08,900 --> 01:17:11,200
They don't want to change, they 
don't want to follow Jesus like 

1032
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:15,700
you oh well. 
But I'm not going to my casket. 

1033
01:17:15,700 --> 01:17:19,400
Not experiencing salvation. 
I am not about to put my 

1034
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:21,600
salvation in your hands after 
Jesus. 

1035
01:17:21,900 --> 01:17:23,800
No, no, no, no. 
It's a bit. 

1036
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:26,200
But you are a decision away from
having Joy. 

1037
01:17:28,500 --> 01:17:31,600
No, they ain't hay. 
Waiting for them to change. 

1038
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:33,500
That's too long, not to have 
joy. 

1039
01:17:35,300 --> 01:17:37,900
I'll come get this table out of 
here, please that didn't waiting

1040
01:17:37,900 --> 01:17:41,000
for them to chase. 
I don't care if you got to drive

1041
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:46,900
separate cars, guard your joy. 
Like me. 

1042
01:17:46,900 --> 01:17:49,400
But sometimes my wife like, no, 
I need to be by myself. 

1043
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:52,200
Did I just need some time alone,
because guess what? 

1044
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:54,900
Sometime, I can steal our joy 
sometime. 

1045
01:17:55,100 --> 01:17:57,200
Because I can eat I'm saying 
like when I used to smoke a lot 

1046
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:01,100
of weed like some of you. 
Somebody you know, I'm saying 

1047
01:18:01,100 --> 01:18:05,200
something like when I smoke a 
lot of weed, right? 

1048
01:18:08,300 --> 01:18:09,900
Right. 
You you get around people who 

1049
01:18:09,900 --> 01:18:18,800
mess your high up. 
Right, and what do you do? 

1050
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,200
You don't want to hang out with 
them because they they miss your

1051
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:25,100
higher but you steadily hang 
around people that Miss you're 

1052
01:18:25,100 --> 01:18:26,100
hot. 
You're Joya. 

1053
01:18:28,100 --> 01:18:32,500
That's a high. 
So I don't know who you are 

1054
01:18:32,500 --> 01:18:34,400
today but you need to make a 
decision. 

1055
01:18:34,500 --> 01:18:36,300
No, we're not going to have an 
altar call up. 

1056
01:18:36,300 --> 01:18:39,900
Here we come up here and lay 
down and do all of that note. 

1057
01:18:39,900 --> 01:18:44,400
Make a decision. 
Yeah, we do altar calls. 

1058
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:48,700
Hey hey if crying change people 
getting their everybody to be 

1059
01:18:48,700 --> 01:18:51,800
changed? 
Not a God says, get a get past 

1060
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:56,500
the tears and make a decision. 
Right. 

1061
01:18:56,500 --> 01:18:59,800
Because God, I will tell you God
is not moved by our tears 

1062
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:05,800
because our tears are tears 
reflecting desperation for God 

1063
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:08,300
or desperation for God to do 
something. 

1064
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:15,500
Because peace is in Christ, not 
the change of circumstances. 

1065
01:19:22,700 --> 01:19:25,400
So today make a choice. 
We're not waiting again, play, 

1066
01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:27,900
something like real groovy, you 
know, I mean like just plate not

1067
01:19:27,900 --> 01:19:31,200
groovy because your groovy is 
you know saying but everybody's 

1068
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:34,400
like like what I don't want to 
do right now, is this to be an 

1069
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:38,200
emotional moment now? 
No, make a decision. 

1070
01:19:40,900 --> 01:19:42,500
Right? 
You make a decision and 

1071
01:19:42,500 --> 01:19:45,200
sometimes you got to make a 
decision and have very tough 

1072
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:48,200
conversations with people. 
You got to have it. 

1073
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:50,100
You said that real loud, strong 
honey. 

1074
01:19:50,100 --> 01:19:55,400
You said that? 
Right? 

1075
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:58,100
Sometimes you got to have a 
tough conversation and say, hey 

1076
01:19:58,100 --> 01:20:01,100
this is how I'm feeling. 
This is what I see and you gotta

1077
01:20:01,100 --> 01:20:04,000
draw the line. 
Hey, you ready? 

1078
01:20:04,300 --> 01:20:08,300
You gotta be okay with the 
results of demanding. 

1079
01:20:08,300 --> 01:20:19,200
What you deserve? 
All right, I will not compromise

1080
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:23,200
what I deserve for what I'm 
afraid to lose. 

1081
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:29,800
So if me drawing the line is 
saying, no, no, no, you ain't 

1082
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:32,400
gonna talk to me like that? 
No, no. 

1083
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:34,200
You ain't gonna keep abandon me 
like that. 

1084
01:20:34,700 --> 01:20:36,100
No, no. 
You ain't gonna put your hands 

1085
01:20:36,100 --> 01:20:39,200
on me like that. 
No, no you can't keep cussing at

1086
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:41,000
me like that. 
No, no, you're not go keep 

1087
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:42,700
looking at me. 
Like I'm a piece of crap. 

1088
01:20:42,700 --> 01:20:43,500
Like that. 
No. 

1089
01:20:43,500 --> 01:20:47,000
No. 
At some point if you want to 

1090
01:20:47,008 --> 01:20:49,200
keep treating me that way 
talking to me that way, whatever

1091
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:51,000
you are. 
I will not be. 

1092
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:52,200
There's too many people out 
here. 

1093
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:55,300
You can mistreat. 
I was not saved to be 

1094
01:20:55,300 --> 01:20:59,900
mistreated. 
And then what if they say? 

1095
01:21:00,100 --> 01:21:02,800
Okay well bye. 
Then guess what you gonna say? 

1096
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:06,900
Oh well, right. 
Because thereby made me in your 

1097
01:21:06,900 --> 01:21:09,600
joy. 
Can I say that again? 

1098
01:21:09,700 --> 01:21:15,100
Thereby May mean your joy, so if
you leave and I got joy, guess 

1099
01:21:15,100 --> 01:21:16,500
what? 
I'm gonna have joy. 

1100
01:21:16,500 --> 01:21:21,800
Keep it, push it. 
I'm gonna miss you right now. 

1101
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:23,600
The police Ops, how can I help 
some people? 

1102
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:31,700
Good sex is not worth your joy. 
Some of y'all shut your mouth 

1103
01:21:31,900 --> 01:21:35,700
because you got to sleep in with
partner, ain't no booty. 

1104
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:40,000
Worse. 
Your joy. 

1105
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:49,400
Some of you take abuse for sex. 
Stop prostituting your joy. 

1106
01:21:51,500 --> 01:21:53,400
I'm talking to some people in 
here right now. 

1107
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:58,500
You are taking emotional abuse 
and you're compromising your 

1108
01:21:58,500 --> 01:22:00,400
joy. 
It is not you ready? 

1109
01:22:00,500 --> 01:22:08,500
It's not their fault. 
I'll see you don't look down. 

1110
01:22:08,500 --> 01:22:12,400
Look straight. 
I'm trying to help some people. 

1111
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:13,500
Thank God. 
You go to a church. 

1112
01:22:13,500 --> 01:22:20,000

You don't, if you don't diss, 

1113
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,900
you don't dishonor your family 
for some tail. 

1114
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:29,200
Especially when it ain't your 
spouse. 

1115
01:22:30,700 --> 01:22:36,200
I'm talking to somebody, we 
gonna get emotional, we gonna 

1116
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:41,500

I think that's church right 

1117
01:22:41,500 --> 01:22:43,700

Can you give God a hand today? 

1118
01:22:46,700 --> 01:22:48,200
Hallelujah. 
Come on. 

1119
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:54,400

You did an amazing job. 
Now we are going to eat only 

1124
01:23:06,700 --> 01:23:08,700

This is like no, I want people 

1125
01:23:08,700 --> 01:23:11,500
to make a decision. 
Stand to your feet, stand to 

1126
01:23:11,500 --> 01:23:13,700

Can I can I can you give you an 

1128
01:23:17,100 --> 01:23:18,700
update? 
I promise you love questions, 

1129
01:23:18,700 --> 01:23:21,500
doing everything they're 
supposed to do when it comes to 

1130
01:23:21,500 --> 01:23:23,200
our building next door. 
Okay. 

1131
01:23:23,300 --> 01:23:26,500
Got an email the other day, man.
These people, they playing I'm 

1132
01:23:26,500 --> 01:23:29,700
you know me, they plan. 
I wish I was a part of the mafia

1133
01:23:29,700 --> 01:23:33,600
was just for one day I just go 
up in there and just right. 

1134
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:38,700
But anyways so we We adjusted 
the blueprints that they asked 

1135
01:23:38,700 --> 01:23:41,000
us to adjust for one parking 
spot. 

1136
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:43,000
Okay? 
So now we're dealing with 

1137
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:47,200
parking variance stuff, right? 
And then, and then we rushed and

1138
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:50,300
turn that in. 
And then now they want, they 

1139
01:23:50,300 --> 01:23:52,900
want us to get a 
what-do-you-call-it. 

1140
01:23:52,900 --> 01:23:54,800
Oh, my Jesus. 
What do you want to call it? 

1141
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:55,900
What do you? 
What do you want me to call it? 

1142
01:23:55,900 --> 01:24:01,300
The civil engineer? 
To do some blueprints for the 

1143
01:24:01,300 --> 01:24:06,600
sidewalk. 
And so they're going to present 

1144
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:11,700
our case June 10th. 
With, if we get everything in 

1145
01:24:11,700 --> 01:24:16,200
which we, which we will July 
10th, July 10, and then he sent 

1146
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:20,200
back an email and he says, just 
to give you a heads up, 

1147
01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:24,200
everything should be good, but 
just in case we don't get the 

1148
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:26,500
response from the neighbors, 
because they got to send out. 

1149
01:24:26,500 --> 01:24:29,900
They give the neighbors two 
weeks to send any comments or 

1150
01:24:29,900 --> 01:24:33,300
anything about us having a 
church here or any business. 

1151
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:38,300
So we we don't want you to be 
alarmed but just to let you know

1152
01:24:38,300 --> 01:24:39,900
if it just so happened, we 
don't. 

1153
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:44,700
Get this part of it to the to 
the council by the 24th of July.

1154
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:47,900
We're not having the council 
meeting in August, so we won't 

1155
01:24:47,900 --> 01:24:49,900
be able to get back to you till 
September. 

1156
01:24:49,900 --> 01:24:52,400
So I said, so you're getting 
ready to just tell me right now 

1157
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:57,000
prepare for September. 
He said no, that's not what 

1158
01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:58,700
we're saying. 
Everything should be good. 

1159
01:24:59,300 --> 01:25:01,100
I like. 
All right, I'm just letting 

1160
01:25:01,100 --> 01:25:03,700
y'all know. 
I may bring some emails so you 

1161
01:25:03,700 --> 01:25:08,300
should know you know your pastor
going in and we're doing all the

1162
01:25:08,300 --> 01:25:10,900
time trying to say everything. 
Love. 

1163
01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:14,700
But I sometimes you got to show 
a little frustration and I did 

1164
01:25:15,100 --> 01:25:18,700
and he said he understands, but 
some of this stuff in my mind, 

1165
01:25:18,700 --> 01:25:20,900
it's just a little political 
because I know they're 

1166
01:25:20,900 --> 01:25:24,000
Expediting some people's permits
and processes and all that. 

1167
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:29,200
But I also know God has his 
timing and I'm not trying to 

1168
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:33,500
rush into something, I want God 
to have his way. 

1169
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,300
So be praying for us, be praying
for me. 

1170
01:25:36,500 --> 01:25:41,300
As we are patients is tried 
Please. 

1171
01:25:41,300 --> 01:25:43,000
But I just want to update you 
guys. 

1172
01:25:43,100 --> 01:25:45,500
I know it's frustrating, but 
it's even more frustrating for 

1173
01:25:45,500 --> 01:25:49,400
me because I have to go back and
forth with these people and if, 

1174
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:53,100
you know, people in the city, 
we've contacted the mayor, we've

1175
01:25:53,100 --> 01:25:55,800
done all those things and 
they're just taking the time. 

1176
01:25:56,100 --> 01:25:59,200
I'm hoping that they have 
integrity and they're doing what

1177
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:02,100
they say they're doing. 
But at this point and I'm not 

1178
01:26:02,100 --> 01:26:05,700
sure how much of this is being 
held up because this bigger 

1179
01:26:05,700 --> 01:26:09,700
project here, that's right here 
and construction going on at the

1180
01:26:09,700 --> 01:26:11,600
same Time. 
I don't know how it works. 

1181
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:17,200
It's love quest as first-time. 
So forgive us for any delays, 

1182
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:19,900
but I am saying it. 
Ain't our fault. 

1183
01:26:20,900 --> 01:26:23,100
I takes no responsibility for 
the delay. 

1184
01:26:23,300 --> 01:26:26,800
We are doing everything we're 
supposed to but anyways, God is 

1185
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:29,400
good. 
Happy birthday Pastor, Julia.

courageous enough and I just

1197
01:27:10,900 --> 01:27:11,800
to. 
Get to you. 

1198
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:14,800
And through you, it shall come 
to pass and what the enemy has 

1199
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:17,900
meant for evil. 
God is turning it around for 

1200
01:27:17,900 --> 01:27:19,700
good. 
We declare it as. 

1201
01:27:19,700 --> 01:27:23,600
So we receive it, we believe it.
And Lord, we will forever, give 

1202
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:26,500
you the praise glory and the 
honor in Jesus name. 

1203
01:27:26,900 --> 01:27:31,200
