in my pantry, in my frigerator, 
more than enough food.

There was a roof over my head. 
There was Windows to open.

00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,100
There was a yard to look at. 
There was safety in my home.

hassle.

Thank you. 
Thanksgiving is a rappelling. 

50
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:41,000
Thanksgiving is one of the 
greatest weapons you could ever 

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000
launched in the land. 
Thank you, thanks.

I got the one leg to work too,

56
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:01,300
one. 
Trying to help you. 

57
00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:02,700
I'm trying to help you, you 
should get on to. 

58
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:04,900
Thank you, train instead of 
staring at me, give my praise 

59
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:08,400
on. 
You going to wonder why I got 

60
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,600
peace and you tripping. 
Thank you. 

61
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,800
It ain't nothing. 
It ain't are. 

62
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,300
You probably pray more than me. 
You probably read more books to 

63
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:19,900
me. 
You probably see therapist. 

64
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:23,300
But I don't know if you'll thank
you. 

65
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:27,700
Game is like mine. 
I don't know if you can out. 

66
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:31,400
Thank me. 
That's what we should be 

67
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,900
competing over. 
Paul said this, he said I'm glad

68
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:39,800
I pray in tongues more than you 
is he boasted like, is he 

69
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,400
swaggin out that he pray in 
tongues more than I do what you 

70
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,600
and competition over. 
Bet you ain't trying to Alby out

71
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,900
grateful. 
Nobody Amen. 

72
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,800
Amen. 
Can we turn some of the fans 

73
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,300
down? 
Please? 

74
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:00,800
They just noisy just for ripe. 
Just for a moment, just for a 

75
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,500
moment and then we can let it 
get hot and then we can cool it 

76
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:06,600
off again. 
We're going to dive back. 

77
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,400
How many people enjoy themselves
Sunday? 

78
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,000
Amen. 
Amen. 

79
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:20,899
Say new level understand this. 
Stay locked in, stay linked in 

80
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,200
every week. 
This is why it's good to have a 

81
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,300
church home because the Lord, he
he keep he links it all 

82
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:30,200
together. 
It's dangerous, listening to a 

83
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,000
whole bunch of different words 
that don't connect. 

84
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:38,100
As Sunday connects to this 
Sunday, and last Wednesday, 

85
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:40,700
connects the Sunday and, and so 
forth. 

86
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:45,000
And man, I told my wife the 
other day, I said, wow, I have, 

87
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:49,800
I think one of the most 
life-changing paradigm-shifting 

88
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,000
messages to share Sunday, and I 
got it while I was in the 

89
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,400
dentist's chair. 
Now, I was listening to a word 

90
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,400
for me on leadership, but 
something hit my ear and I was 

91
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,400
in the dentist, they was all in 
my mouth, but I was on my phone.

92
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,100
I was like, I gotta write this 
down and I might give a little, 

93
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:15,600
a little bit of a preview of it 
tonight, if If it's necessary, 

94
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,500
but I would not miss Sunday. 
And I'm not just promoting 

95
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:20,000
Sunday. 
I'm not just trying to get you 

96
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
all hype. 
I just believe that you can lock

97
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
in and you can hear from God, 
consistently. 

98
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,000
And it's nothing like it when 
you just start going on a 

99
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,800
championship run. 
You can't go on the championship

100
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,300
run, if God ain't running with 
you. 

101
00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:41,900
And I'm determined to go. 
I'm determined to make the road 

102
00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:43,900
to the championship. 
Look easy. 

103
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,500
I know. 
That sounds crazy right there. 

104
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,300
Patience. 
Last two wins days. 

105
00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:56,400
We've talked about patients, a 
patients. 

106
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,100
Come on. 
Don't be scared to say it. 

107
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:00,200
Some of y'all scared to say 
patients some of y'all beefing 

108
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,800
with patients. 
Say patients. 

109
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,700
Look at your neighbor say be 
patience. 

110
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:06,300
Chill out, come on tell your 
favorite be patient. 

111
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:12,400
Chill out. 
Say he's up to something. 

112
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,800
It's working out. 
Just just say that, like, say 

113
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,900
that two more times, he's up to 
something. 

114
00:06:20,900 --> 00:06:24,400
It's working out, one more time.
He's up to something. 

115
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:28,200
It's working out. 
Here's the problem. 

116
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,600
We want to know what he up to, 
then we'll be okay, right? 

117
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,900
How many people want God to just
give you a little bit of insight

118
00:06:34,900 --> 00:06:37,600
on what he's doing, right? 
That would help you out a little

119
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,500
better. 
You think know if he told you 

120
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:42,600
what he was up to your stress 
out more, trust me? 

121
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,000
Trust me, if he shared the whole
Vision in the whole plan with 

122
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,600
you you would freak out and mess
it up. 

123
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,400
You would mess it up, Jesus 
couldn't tell the disciples who 

124
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,400
was going to betray like what 
that would look like. 

125
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,000
Right. 
He told Peter Peter was like 

126
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,200
nah. 
So even if the Lord does tell 

127
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,700
you his plan or what you going 
to do, guess what Under 

128
00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:10,500
Pressure. 
If you don't do the right thing,

129
00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:12,900
you're going to buckle Under 
Pressure, man. 

130
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:16,900
Peter probably did exactly what 
all of us would it did Jesus 

131
00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:19,300
please whatever you if that's 
what you think. 

132
00:07:19,300 --> 00:07:21,700
I'm I got your back all the way 
to the end. 

133
00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:25,800
How many people ever heard that?
No, you don't got no love nobody

134
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,000
like you you ain't nobody ever 
told you they got your back. 

135
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,600
All right. 
Amen. 

136
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,300
Peter said I love you. 
I got you. 

137
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,800
You said, bro, you going to 
betray be? 

138
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:45,100
Not once not twice but Thrice. 
Peter is like, yeah, right, 

139
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:48,500
we'll see day of pressure came 
Peter over there acting like he 

140
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:52,100
don't know nothing about Jesus 
over there, plant drinking water

141
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:54,700
just and they asked him. 
He said, nope. 

142
00:07:55,900 --> 00:08:00,400
Denied him three times and Jesus
told him. 

143
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,800
So if Jesus told you in 10 days,
you was going to somebody who's 

144
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,200
going to walk up to you and give
you a billion dollars, you'll 

145
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,700
probably be outright or some of 
y'all would be like, Hallelujah,

146
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:23,900
I receive it. 
What the part that I really have

147
00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:29,600
learned to? 
Embrace is it's working out. 

148
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,700
No matter what he's up to is 
working out. 

149
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:35,799
It's working out. 
Say it's working out. 

150
00:08:36,500 --> 00:08:40,100
Let's dive in here. 
God doesn't need everything and 

151
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:47,900
everybody you need. 
Let me, yeah, God don't need 

152
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:53,000
everything you need to be 
successful. 

153
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:58,400
And God don't need everybody. 
You think you need to be 

154
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,800
successful? 
To bring joy in your life. 

155
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,600
God don't need to change your 
spouse. 

156
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,800
Can I help somebody? 
God, don't need to change your 

157
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,500
children for you to have peace. 
We don't need another prime 

158
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:24,300
minister to have joy. 
God does not need what we need 

159
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:28,700
to be successful. 
Okay, keep my phone. 

160
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:30,400
I wrote a note. 
I'm getting ahead of myself a 

161
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,500
wrote. 
A note, I wrote a note down and 

162
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:36,700
it's it was a good one. 
You got it, you got it right? 

163
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:45,000
These these these things down. 
Oh, won't there it is. 

164
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,200
How much you ready? 
You ready? 

165
00:09:55,100 --> 00:10:00,500
How much? 
Of your lack of patience. 

166
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,400
Or anxiousness, right? 
There's some people who don't 

167
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,600
associate with anxiety because 
somehow that's a clinical. 

168
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:16,500
But let's say anxiousness, how 
many people ever hear being 

169
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,500
anxious? 
Okay, some of y'all on the way 

170
00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:24,700
here was anxious. 
All right, when the Lord hit the

171
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:26,900
speaking in this place you get 
anxious. 

172
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:32,900
If I look towards your way, you 
start getting anxious. 

173
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,600
And if I look too long, you 
really start getting anxious. 

174
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,800
How much of your lack of 
patience or anxiousness is 

175
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:50,800
rooted or stemming from fear of 
disappointment? 

176
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,100
Not need. 
I need, I need you. 

177
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:54,300
I need you. 
I need you. 

178
00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:57,300
I need y'all. 
If some of you Scholars, don't 

179
00:10:57,300 --> 00:10:59,900
want to write it down, just I 
want you to answer fear of 

180
00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:03,600
disappointment. 
Now, I, this is where the Lord 

181
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,800
can help you or won't help you 
if you start denying. 

182
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:14,300
How much of your grind, how much
of your goals, how much of your 

183
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:17,400
pleasing people? 
How much of your showing up, how

184
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,500
much of your showing out, how 
much of your impatience to make 

185
00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:25,100
it happen? 
Your impatience to not wait for 

186
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:29,200
God to do it, but Imma make how 
much, if you just go deeper than

187
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:36,100
impatience, or anxiousness or 
anxiety, how much of it is 

188
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:42,100
rooted or stemming from a fear, 
Of disappointment, 

189
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:44,700
disappointing, family 
disappointing, friends, 

190
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:47,200
disappointing. 
The status quo of culture, 

191
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,500
disappointing, yourself, 
disappointment. 

192
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:56,100
If I don't do this, Then this 
won't happen. 

193
00:11:56,700 --> 00:12:01,100
If I don't accomplish this by 
this age or that time or if I 

194
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:04,000
don't move here. 
Now, if I don't get married by 

195
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,500
this time, if I don't have kids,
then all these things, how much 

196
00:12:09,500 --> 00:12:12,300
of it? 
What if the culture said the 

197
00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:14,400
opposite of what you're 
believing for? 

198
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Would you believe still? 
Right. 

199
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,300
How much is stemming from the 
fear of disappointment? 

200
00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:29,000
We got to go deeper, how have 
you dealt with disappointment? 

201
00:12:30,300 --> 00:12:33,900
See, let me let me, you can't 
hear, you can't get healed where

202
00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:39,800
you allow Pride to live. 
Yeah, you can't get healed where

203
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,200
you going to, let Pride run the 
show because some some of you in

204
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,300
here pride is please. 
That's not I'm gonna, I'm gonna,

205
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:49,500
I'm gonna go to this therapist. 
I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna 

206
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:50,700
do that. 
And I'm gonna do this in 

207
00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:53,700
overtime. 
God, it it'll work but but 

208
00:12:53,700 --> 00:12:57,300
you're not here tonight to 
depend on any other thing. 

209
00:12:57,300 --> 00:13:00,800
But this moment God In This 
Moment, God In This Moment, say 

210
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:06,600
God, In This Moment. 
Yeah, so how have you dealt with

211
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,700
disappointment? 
Just I'm not looking for an 

212
00:13:10,708 --> 00:13:13,100
answer. 
I just need you to think how 

213
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:15,500
have you dealt with 
disappointment? 

214
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:20,200
How have you been taught to deal
with disappointment? 

215
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,800
How did your parents deal with 
disappointment? 

216
00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:26,700
Let's go deeper. 
How did your parents respond 

217
00:13:26,700 --> 00:13:31,000
when you disappointed them? 
Because there's things that's in

218
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,800
you that you may not even write,
you, you probably can point to 

219
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,700
like the most recent trauma. 
Let's go all the way back to 

220
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:44,000
when you was young, and you got 
that beaten because you spilled 

221
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,200
the paint on the ground where 
you broke a glass. when was it, 

222
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:55,000
you first discovered you 
disappointed somebody What did 

223
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,400
that feel like what happened? 
Where you talk down to where you

224
00:13:58,408 --> 00:14:00,700
called out of your name, where 
you you're going to be? 

225
00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:07,300
Just like, yo, Right. 
How do you deal with not passing

226
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:11,700
a class? 
How do you deal with out with 

227
00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:15,700
with with with, with getting 
rejected by a guy or a girl? 

228
00:14:16,300 --> 00:14:18,600
How do you handle when somebody 
don't call you back? 

229
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,300
When you think they supposed to,
or when they say it? 

230
00:14:20,308 --> 00:14:22,900
They was, how do you deal with 
broken promises? 

231
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:27,600
I'm talking to you, I'm talking 
to you if you let the Holy Ghost

232
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,400
see, and he'll deal with your 
heart right now. 

233
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,800
He'll help you right now. 
This ain't the time in your soul

234
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,400
to look the other way. 
No, he talking to you point to 

235
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,500
yourself, say they this is for 
me right now. 

236
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,500
Look at your neighbor, say, I 
wish he was talking about you 

237
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:46,800
right now, but I'm going to have
to take this this moment for 

238
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:58,200
myself. 
Let's go in the surgery room for

239
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:06,000
a little bit. 
How have you been loved in and 

240
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,000
through failure? 
Have you experienced when you 

241
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,300
felt when you fail the people 
that mean the most to you do you

242
00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:20,100
feel distant from them? 
Have you ignored failure? 

243
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:27,900
How have you? 
Experience love through failure.

244
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,800
What does failure equate to you?
What does that mean to you? 

245
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,000
Your identity, how do you 
connect to failure? 

246
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,400
Disappointment. 
There's a good hand of you. 

247
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,300
When you were young, you were 
abandoned. 

248
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:52,700
Disappointment. 
You watch your parents, be an 

249
00:15:52,700 --> 00:15:55,300
alcoholic or you watch your 
parents being abusive 

250
00:15:55,300 --> 00:15:59,300
relationship, you watch them on 
drugs, you any of those type of 

251
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:03,200
things. 
You watch the parent be beat, 

252
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,800
but couldn't do nothing about 
it. 

253
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:11,000
Right. 
You waited for a parent. 

254
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,400
They said I'll be there to pick 
you up. 

255
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,300
They never showed up. 
Come on. 

256
00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:16,300
Connect to it. 
Connect to it didn't say 

257
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:18,500
identify with it. 
I just said connect to it. 

258
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,100
Because we're talking about a 
world built on Pride. 

259
00:16:28,100 --> 00:16:35,100
Rooted in fear. 
So people that Power Trip people

260
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:38,100
of greed, you got to understand 
the people that run the world 

261
00:16:38,700 --> 00:16:46,400
and create the systems its burst
out of So then when we are 

262
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,500
trying to keep up with the world
standards, then you're trying to

263
00:16:50,508 --> 00:16:53,200
keep up with a standard that's 
rooted in fear. 

264
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:11,400
Fear of rejection. 
And disappointment has birthed a

265
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:18,099
generation of anxiety. 
I'm gonna deal with some of this

266
00:17:18,099 --> 00:17:20,700
on Sunday, most profound 
message. 

267
00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:23,900
That was preached to me by the 
spirit and I'm going to share 

268
00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:27,000
what I feel is very vital in 
these times. 

269
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,900
Why is anxiety and depression 
through the roof? 

270
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:36,500
And though it's good to deal 
with our trauma. 

271
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:41,100
Let's deal with it. 
But what we're discovering it 

272
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,900
just because we're dealing with,
it doesn't mean that we 

273
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:47,900
shouldn't ask why so many 
people. 

274
00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:55,200
And then what we got to be 
careful of is unlike the world. 

275
00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:00,400
The believer does not have to 
identify with it, but it's okay 

276
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:07,800
to identify it in your life. 
But because of the power of the 

277
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,900
Holy Ghost, the blood of Jesus 
and the word of God has 

278
00:18:12,900 --> 00:18:19,200
overcome, or he would not be 
fair for him to say, be anxious 

279
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,100
for nothing. 
If he won't help us be anxious 

280
00:18:22,300 --> 00:18:26,400
for nothing, it would not be 
fair for him to say, cast all 

281
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,600
your cares upon Him for he. 
What cares for you, it wouldn't 

282
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,700
be fair for him. 
To say, my yoke is easy, my 

283
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:38,000
burdens are light. 
If Would not help us through the

284
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,600
issue is, are you depending on 
him or are you depending on some

285
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,900
clinical? 
Professional that you trust more

286
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,800
because they got a plaque on the
wall. 

287
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,000
So it's easier to trust them 
because they got the big house. 

288
00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:53,500
They make six fidgets digits a 
year. 

289
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,400
They got a portion. 
The drive driveway, they got the

290
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,600
doctor it behind they name. 
And you don't know how you can 

291
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,600
trust God. 
The same way, you could trust 

292
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,900
your psychologist your 
psychiatrist, your therapists. 

293
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,800
It's easier to trust him because
they got a book. 

294
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:15,200
But man, whose book is bigger. 
Who got more evidence. 

295
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:23,000
One is practicing. 
The other one never fails. 

296
00:19:24,500 --> 00:19:26,100
Ain't it funny? 
How do you can call it a 

297
00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:28,500
practice but we don't believe 
they practice it. 

298
00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:34,800
They're practicing. 
So sometimes it works. 

299
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,400
Sometimes it don't, that's why 
it's good that we can take a 

300
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:45,200
diagnosis to the throne room. 
We could take a diagnosis to the

301
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,800
elders. 
We could take a diagnosis to the

302
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:52,000
altar but so many times we 
believe the clinical diagnosis 

303
00:19:52,100 --> 00:19:55,000
more than we believe the 
Heavenly diagnosis. 

304
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,200
It's easier for you. 
For me to say I am clinically 

305
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:09,700
depressed then for you to say by
his stripes, I am healed. so, 

306
00:20:09,700 --> 00:20:12,100
the fear of rejection we looking
at a page, we're looking at 

307
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:18,500
another pandemic epidemic, 
pandemic gimmick, gimmick, It's 

308
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:26,300
all over the place young people.
Pastors committing suicide, 

309
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,500
worship leaders committing 
suicide. 

310
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,600
And we haven't trouble Believe 
In Our Savior will. 

311
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,900
If he can't save you then, what 
is he your savior from? 

312
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,900
Is he your savior? 
Or is he just your God? 

313
00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:55,300
That's why the old people used 
to. 

314
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:01,700
The old Saints, used to used to 
used to sing savior Don't y'all 

315
00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:04,000
waiting for me to sing? 
It ain't on the same right now. 

316
00:21:05,900 --> 00:21:19,900
Hear My Cry. 
Yes, sir. 

317
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:31,400
Do. 
Not pass me but I will say met 

318
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,800
y'all better stop playing with 
me. 

319
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,100
Y'all better stop playing with 
me now. 

320
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:40,100
Now now you talking about folks 
that came out of slavery. 

321
00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:44,900
This is why hims got a special 
stank on it. 

322
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,900
Because you're talking about 
people who had way I can't. 

323
00:21:49,900 --> 00:21:57,800
I'm not going to compare trauma.
But somehow their passion for 

324
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:08,200
God was stronger than ours. 
They running from real slave 

325
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,100
masters, picking cotton, they 
watching uncles and cousins 

326
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:18,400
getting hung. 
We can't find a spouse. 

327
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:25,900
We lose a job. 
It's a shortage on avocados. 

328
00:22:36,900 --> 00:22:42,100
Their dependency on the Lord. 
Was crazy and is what I found 

329
00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:45,100
out. 
Elder John is I don't have to go

330
00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:48,400
through what they went through 
to have the same passion as they

331
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,900
had. 
Why do I need to be somewhere in

332
00:22:52,900 --> 00:22:55,900
a third world country with no 
food, no water to really be 

333
00:22:55,900 --> 00:22:59,400
desperate for God. 
It just mean whose much given 

334
00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:02,600
much is required. 
Therefore, I have to do a little

335
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,800
bit more intentional reminding. 
Keeping myself around people 

336
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,700
full of Faith. 
Staying in the word listening, I

337
00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:14,000
got to work a little harder to 
make sure my furnace stay lit. 

338
00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:21,900
Therefore, if I'm gonna beat one
thing that they did have or 

339
00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:25,300
didn't have is they had less 
options than we have. 

340
00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:29,600
Let me get into that on Sunday, 
I feel the Lord is calling his 

341
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,000
church. 
To purge one of the greatest 

342
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,400
purchase ever, because we've 
gotten hooked on a lot of stuff.

343
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,000
God is asking for us to lay 
down. 

344
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:42,100
If you want to see Revival 
within yourself, the Lord is 

345
00:23:42,100 --> 00:23:46,000
coming for your social media. 
He's coming for some 

346
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,100
relationships. 
Yeah, he's coming for some 

347
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:53,400
stuff. 
Because he said, If my people 

348
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,200
who are called by my name will 
humble themselves. 

349
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,200
Humble, don't mean lay down? 
Put your face on the ground, but

350
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:07,600
it's the things we depend on. 
The Lord is saying. because if 

351
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:13,200
we don't remove distractions, 
What we don't understand is 

352
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:18,100
options birth anxiousness. 
Netflix, we're going to talk 

353
00:24:18,100 --> 00:24:21,500
about it Sunday. 
How long, how long you looking 

354
00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:25,200
for something to watch? 
Right. 

355
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,200
Hop on the airplane, they only 
give you a few selections and 

356
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,300
you pick something that might 
look good. 

357
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:34,200
How long you staying the aisle? 
Picking a new deodorant? 

358
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,500
How many? 
How many colognes you try? 

359
00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:39,100
How many more times you gonna 
smell the coffee beans? 

360
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,400
Right options. 
The day, if you was bald head, 

361
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,400
use ball head. 
Now, you can get a weave. 

362
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,700
Now, you put on a weave, you got
options on hairstyles, let me 

363
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,400
add those that, get that don't 
do much hair. 

364
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,700
Tell me when you get a weave, 
how much more stressed out, are 

365
00:25:06,700 --> 00:25:15,500
you Right? 
We live in the time of options, 

366
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,400
if I don't like this guy, I'm 
gonna go. 

367
00:25:17,500 --> 00:25:19,200
But we have faithful 
grandparents back then. 

368
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,200
Like, if I don't like this girl,
I'ma got options. 

369
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,400
I'm gonna marry multiple people.
I'm gonna do this choose 

370
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,100
options. 
Yeah. 

371
00:25:26,100 --> 00:25:27,700
Like options. 
Absolutely. 

372
00:25:27,700 --> 00:25:32,600
But options don't have me. 
Right? 

373
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,500
Where's faithfulness in 
relationships? 

374
00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:38,100
Know the grass ain't Greener? 
No, I don't got tons of churches

375
00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:41,700
to go to where you calling me. 
God, not gonna get offended. 

376
00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:43,800
Oh, it's another church. 
My friend go to maybe. 

377
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,800
That's where your friend needs 
to go, but offense is not 

378
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,300
permission to run. 
Right? 

379
00:25:51,300 --> 00:25:53,400
But we got options. 
We've made getting out of 

380
00:25:53,408 --> 00:25:56,300
marriage and option. 
We we've made running to another

381
00:25:56,300 --> 00:25:58,600
country. 
An option we've made so many 

382
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,200
things options. 
This is why the meal plan gave 

383
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,300
me more peace than any other 
diet. 

384
00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:06,000
No, I'm damned. 
I'm trying to help you. 

385
00:26:06,700 --> 00:26:10,200
I'm trying to help you because 
the meal plan said, I don't care

386
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,100
what you want. 
You're going to have this. 

387
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:15,700
That's it. 
So Not only was my body 

388
00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:18,700
experiencing physical health, 
but I was receiving mental 

389
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:20,700
health because I wouldn't like 
me going. 

390
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,600
Burgers tonight. 
Have you ever maybe? 

391
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,500
Married people have you ever 
almost argued over what y'all 

392
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:29,200
about to eat tonight? 
Have you ever been? 

393
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,300
I don't feel like making a 
decision tonight and then they 

394
00:26:31,300 --> 00:26:35,600
like come on, don't do that and 
then they pick and you like nah 

395
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,700
I don't want that. 
Right. 

396
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:41,500
We got too many options. 
We got a and w. 

397
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,500
We got Dairy Queen. 
We got we got Triple O's, we got

398
00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:50,300
all kinds of places and you 
drive it around and then you go 

399
00:26:50,300 --> 00:26:53,000
in and you pull in and you won't
what kind of Special Sauce 

400
00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:56,200
Secret Sauce man back in the day
it was no secrets off. 

401
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:03,500
Catch up. 
Why you go to some countries? 

402
00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:07,200
You see obesity, you see, you 
see, you see us eating our 

403
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,500
stress away? 
We won't we won't deal with the 

404
00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:18,900
stress. 
And one thing I think that has 

405
00:27:18,900 --> 00:27:23,600
this generation gripped, his 
options, are we going to talk 

406
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,300
about it, Sunday? 
I wonder why Jesus told Giddy 

407
00:27:26,300 --> 00:27:28,800
and get rid of those tens of the
you would think more people we 

408
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,600
gonna win. 
I'm going to talk about that 

409
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,600
Sunday because we think the more
money we spend the more 

410
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:38,200
opportune, the more we may have 
success, or if ice prepare for a

411
00:27:38,208 --> 00:27:41,200
message for 48 hours, then I'm 
gonna kill the message. 

412
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,500
No, I'm not overcook it. 
So I gotta find my sweet spot 

413
00:27:45,500 --> 00:27:48,500
where I know how much I need to 
study them to spend the other 

414
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:51,200
time preparing the messenger, 
not the message. 

415
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:54,500
Right. 
So what we think is more is 

416
00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:56,900
better, but more is actually 
killing us. 

417
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,900
We're about to head into a 
season where the Lord is about 

418
00:28:01,900 --> 00:28:04,300
to tell you to eliminate the 
options. 

419
00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:06,500
It's going to challenge you 
big-time. 

420
00:28:07,300 --> 00:28:11,100
But eliminate the options alone 
will bring more peace to your 

421
00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:14,300
life. 
You can work on your marriage if

422
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:16,800
you if you got rid of the option
of divorce. 

423
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:20,900
Right? 
So, I being being being being 

424
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,200
engaged for too long. 
It's dangerous because you got 

425
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:31,400
two options. 
And you start applying that 

426
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,700
pressure. 
And then homeboy freaked out 

427
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,000
because you eliminate them 
options. 

428
00:28:40,900 --> 00:28:43,100
To Abraham get out of your 
house. 

429
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,900
Go away. 
Can't depend on your parents 

430
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:48,500
wealth. 
No, more depend on me. 

431
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,300
Who else you can go on and on 
and on and on? 

432
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,600
Why did he choose? 
People that didn't get the 

433
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,700
degrees, like the others because
he wanted them to repent. 

434
00:28:58,700 --> 00:29:03,900
We have too many options. 
Too many options in. 

435
00:29:03,900 --> 00:29:07,700
This is why accountability 
scares this generation because 

436
00:29:07,700 --> 00:29:09,900
you want to keep your options of
Independence open. 

437
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:11,800
And so you have a 
misunderstanding of 

438
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,500
accountability. 
It's why we don't want to commit

439
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:16,800
to a church on, this is why we 
don't want to go to foundations,

440
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,500
because we want to make sure we 
I don't want. 

441
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:21,000
Nobody telling me now won't 
options. 

442
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,400
I don't know, too many trainers 
that give you options, they give

443
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,200
you a game planning, you stick 
with it. 

444
00:29:32,900 --> 00:29:36,300
Anxiety. 
Is the fruit. 

445
00:29:37,700 --> 00:29:45,800
Rejection is the route. 
And this is why. 

446
00:29:47,700 --> 00:29:51,400
Our love walk with people. 
Is shaking. 

447
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:07,900
Anxiety is a fruit. 
Impatience is a fruit and you 

448
00:30:07,900 --> 00:30:11,200
will never get rid of impatience
or anxiety. 

449
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,700
If you don't look at what the 
root is, what are you afraid of?

450
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,700
Why? 
You got to have this now? 

451
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:26,200
what are you afraid of missing 
out on What is what if, what is 

452
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,900
not having that thing make you 
feel? 

453
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,900
What what what what does that 
bring up for you? 

454
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,800
What is not being able to go out
like them? 

455
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,400
Right, you see? 
Social media, we got IG. 

456
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,400
How much stress comes from IG? 
Let's not lick. 

457
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,600
Now, I'm not being deep. 
I'm not being religious. 

458
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,300
I meant. 
I'm on IG, it's stressful. 

459
00:30:51,900 --> 00:30:55,800
You scroll through you either 
being you either compare it. 

460
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,700
You're either being judgmental 
and critical. 

461
00:31:01,900 --> 00:31:06,900
Tell me what about IG is 
fruitful and then weigh it 

462
00:31:06,900 --> 00:31:11,400
against how much of it steals 
your time, steals your focus, 

463
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,000
and steal your energy. 
That's just one of them. 

464
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,200
Let's go to another option. 
Tick-Tock. 

465
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,000
Let's go to another one, 
Facebook. 

466
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:27,100
We go on and on all these 
options and I feel, I feel 

467
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:30,900
convicted, don't you dare say 
you won't more God. 

468
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,200
But you're not willing to get 
rid of your milk, some of your 

469
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,700
options when I got married, 
guess what? 

470
00:31:37,700 --> 00:31:39,900
I just would guess what? 
That symbolized. 

471
00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:45,100
No, more options. 
One, do you know how much health

472
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:48,400
that brought to my life? 
Spiritually physically, 

473
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,100
emotionally. 
You ever been out there? 

474
00:31:52,100 --> 00:31:53,700
You answered. 
No I don't answer my phone right

475
00:31:53,700 --> 00:31:55,900
now and call me why you called 
me why you pop up over here 

476
00:31:55,900 --> 00:31:59,200
while you do the dating game is 
trash. 

477
00:32:02,300 --> 00:32:05,900
Having multiple this in multiple
death is trash. 

478
00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:09,300
Don't you dare say you won't 
more God. 

479
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,200
It's like saying I want more 
money. 

480
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,100
But you know the quickest way to
more money. 

481
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:21,600
Is cutting some things that you 
spend money on. 

482
00:32:22,700 --> 00:32:26,600
You don't need more money, you 
just need to cut, right? 

483
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:31,100
Maybe you can't afford the 
unlimited data, Maybe you can't 

484
00:32:31,100 --> 00:32:36,500
afford the 30 gig data. 
So, you cut the plan. 

485
00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:57,000
Speak Lord. 
Don't you dare say you want 

486
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,600
richer relationships, man. 
I'm already talking about it, 

487
00:32:59,608 --> 00:33:02,200
but I'm like, I'm, I'm gonna be.
I'm gonna be sharp on this 

488
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,300
Sunday, but you but you options 
divided families. 

489
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,500
Let me tell you this, we will go
into a living room and we'll 

490
00:33:11,500 --> 00:33:14,100
watch a movie. 
If you wait long enough, 

491
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:21,700
everybody check their phones. 
You hop in your marriage bed. 

492
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,100
Nobody has a problem if the 
other one falls asleep soon. 

493
00:33:28,100 --> 00:33:29,900
These days. 
Because guess what? 

494
00:33:29,900 --> 00:33:32,700
You get to do. 
Hop on your phone. 

495
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:38,400
So, you got the little one down 
there on the iPad. 

496
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,000
You got the other kids and they 
rooms on a phones in two 

497
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,900
different worlds. 
You got the TV on downstairs, 

498
00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:45,800
you got the parents watching 
Netflix. 

499
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:55,200
Family ain't the same. 
Back in the day, it was richer 

500
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,100
relationships because you have 
to talk. 

501
00:33:58,500 --> 00:34:01,200
You have to Stewart that 25-cent
call. 

502
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,700
Right. 
You actually really miss 

503
00:34:05,700 --> 00:34:08,300
somebody. 
We missing each other, but we 

504
00:34:08,300 --> 00:34:11,699
text all day long. 
Then we following them on 

505
00:34:11,699 --> 00:34:15,900
Instagram, we all up in adm's, 
we own a story. 

506
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,199
We don't know how to have real 
conversations in, real conflict 

507
00:34:19,199 --> 00:34:23,199
resolution. 
We're distracted options have 

508
00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:28,199
divided families option have 
stolen Intimacy in marriage. 

509
00:34:35,300 --> 00:34:36,400
That's supposed to be for 
Sunday. 

510
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:42,699
Amen. 
Patience has a greater success 

511
00:34:42,699 --> 00:34:49,699
rate than rushing. 
Yeah, he agrees patience has a 

512
00:34:49,699 --> 00:34:52,500
greater success rate than 
rushing. 

513
00:34:55,199 --> 00:35:00,300
Galatians 5 says that this fruit
of patience that indoors. 

514
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,700
It's produced by the Holy Spirit
within you. 

515
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,300
It's divine love in all its 
varied Expressions. 

516
00:35:07,300 --> 00:35:11,000
I need you to understand this, 
it's not the fruits of the 

517
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,700
spirit. 
Let me help you. 

518
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,700
It's not the fruits. 
I know Sunday school have taught

519
00:35:16,700 --> 00:35:18,700
you. 
It's the fruits of the spirit. 

520
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,900
It's the fruit of the spirit and
if you don't have love, you 

521
00:35:23,900 --> 00:35:27,100
ain't going to Patience. 
You ain't going to have loved 

522
00:35:27,100 --> 00:35:28,900
you. 
Not going to have peace and I'm 

523
00:35:28,900 --> 00:35:35,700
talking Agape. 
Unconditional love Love is 

524
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:39,000
patient. 
First thing love is love is 

525
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,300
kind. 
Right. 

526
00:35:41,300 --> 00:35:43,800
Love holds. 
No record of wrong. 

527
00:35:43,900 --> 00:35:47,800
You can't you can't be patient 
for a loved one to change. 

528
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,600
When you're constantly reminding
them of what they used to do. 

529
00:35:56,900 --> 00:36:00,600
So what we have to understand 
first and foremost, is that this

530
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:05,600
kind of patience is produced by 
the Holy Spirit. 

531
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,000
It is produced. 
It's a supernatural patients. 

532
00:36:14,900 --> 00:36:20,500
That cannot come any other way. 
Then through relationship with 

533
00:36:20,500 --> 00:36:27,000
the Holy Spirit and humility. 
You got that? 

534
00:36:27,700 --> 00:36:31,200
It's a supernatural patients. 
So don't say you want this 

535
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,700
patients. 
If you not willing to to invest 

536
00:36:34,700 --> 00:36:42,300
in Covenant, It's one of the 
hardest things. 

537
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:44,600
As a pastor, let me let me help 
you out. 

538
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,500
I do not want to be in your 
business. 

539
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,200
Let me help you out. 
I really don't. 

540
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:56,500
That is crazy. 
Hug me like all Pastor. 

541
00:36:56,500 --> 00:36:59,300
You see everything. 
I don't want to. 

542
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:02,700
I'm not sitting around here 
trying to be in your business 

543
00:37:04,100 --> 00:37:07,000
and as I was sharing with 
someone other day you can have a

544
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,600
pastor but not every piece. 
Not every church has a father. 

545
00:37:14,500 --> 00:37:17,300
If you find a church where God 
has called you to a place where 

546
00:37:17,300 --> 00:37:21,400
the father heart rests there 
understand, it's going to be a 

547
00:37:21,408 --> 00:37:25,700
lot of warfare there. 
Yes, it's going to be where you 

548
00:37:25,700 --> 00:37:27,300
are, where you find the Father's
Heart. 

549
00:37:27,300 --> 00:37:29,100
You don't find. 
Someone ain't scared of you. 

550
00:37:33,100 --> 00:37:38,000
But it's the, it's the father 
that that moves in our hearts to

551
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,900
allow us to see things and not 
give up on people. 

552
00:37:43,300 --> 00:37:47,100
It's Supernatural, how people 
can let you down and you can 

553
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:50,000
still love them without not want
anything back. 

554
00:37:50,300 --> 00:37:55,600
That's all him. 
But the same kind of love has to

555
00:37:55,600 --> 00:38:00,000
live in you. 
Because that's the same love. 

556
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:05,400
God gave you on that cross? 
He waited for you but died in 

557
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:13,200
advance. 
I was high for years drunk, for 

558
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:18,300
years, messing around for years 
and his love the same, love that

559
00:38:18,300 --> 00:38:20,600
he's shown on. 
The cross was waiting for me. 

560
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,000
When I was ready to put the 
bottle down, when I was ready to

561
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,400
stop club and hanging with the 
fellas, I had to park. 

562
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,000
Do you see what, what, what, 
what, what? 

563
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:37,100
Getting married required? 
It required purging, it's no way

564
00:38:37,100 --> 00:38:40,500
you can have a successful 
marriage and have tons of 

565
00:38:40,500 --> 00:38:43,800
options. 
Since even with the Bros. 

566
00:38:49,100 --> 00:38:54,500
This idea of marriage and still 
holding onto your Independence 

567
00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:00,000
is absolutely silly. 
The Lord says, my yoke is easy. 

568
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,600
Meaning, he wants to yoke with 
us when he died and got up, 

569
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,500
guess what? 
He said, he got up with us. 

570
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:11,800
It's a marriage, is a covenant 
and even Jesus have to die. 

571
00:39:11,900 --> 00:39:16,100
Even Jesus had to fast, even 
Jesus had to not go home with 

572
00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:20,300
Mommy and Daddy to get into. 
Linda work even Jesus had to get

573
00:39:20,300 --> 00:39:24,900
away him pray, even Jesus had to
keep boundaries between his good

574
00:39:24,900 --> 00:39:28,300
friends. 
Because he was focused on the 

575
00:39:28,300 --> 00:39:35,700
call. 
And it's just just being them in

576
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:38,600
my role in my position. 
I deal with a lot of anxious 

577
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,300
people. 
Got to have it. 

578
00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:50,600
Now, I have rarely had meetings 
about How do I walk with the 

579
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,700
Lord? 
Everything is based on Career 

580
00:39:54,700 --> 00:39:59,100
based on doing stuff. 
Is based on its you rarely 

581
00:39:59,100 --> 00:40:02,900
asked, see people coming trying 
to figure out and model 

582
00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:10,900
relationship with God? 
Why are we pursuing? 

583
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Hey Pastor I just want to have a
have a have coffee with you. 

584
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,500
I want to figure out how to get 
that piece. 

585
00:40:18,900 --> 00:40:26,600
No, that's not what we're 
pursuing. but the peace of God, 

586
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:33,100
the Bible says is his will 
Thanksgiving. 

587
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:39,300
The Bible says is his will. 
No. 

588
00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:43,000
Where do I find careers all it 
is. 

589
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,900
His will the Bible? 
Quite frankly, says seek him. 

590
00:40:46,900 --> 00:40:51,900
What first and all these things 
that were getting counseling 

591
00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:56,700
about will be added? 
So if I'm going to seek him, 

592
00:40:56,700 --> 00:40:58,600
first, I need to come to you and
figure out. 

593
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,600
How if you've mastered piece, or
you got better piece than I do. 

594
00:41:03,900 --> 00:41:06,400
That's what I need to be. 
Figuring out how to get that 

595
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,600
peace. 
Can you disciple me in peace? 

596
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,400
But if you're anxious person, 
you run from Joy. instead of 

597
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:26,600
going to Joy and saying, can you
disciple me enjoy No man. 

598
00:41:29,500 --> 00:41:38,900
A true disciple maker cares for 
your piece And your joy more 

599
00:41:38,900 --> 00:41:46,400
than anything else. 
And we're here for it all. 

600
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,300
But what I'm pointing to Is 
that? 

601
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,300
Do you know you're the greatest 
asset? 

602
00:41:57,700 --> 00:42:03,000
Not your goals, not your career.
You forget what God really cares

603
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:09,100
about you. 
How often do you pray for 

604
00:42:09,100 --> 00:42:17,300
breakthrough versus peace? 
When last time you just sit at 

605
00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:20,400
the father's feet. 
Do you know how do you know what

606
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,600
that means? 
Are you pursuing his principles?

607
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,000
He said Delight in me and I'll 
give you the desires of your 

608
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:35,500
heart. 
So if the the the the true 

609
00:42:35,500 --> 00:42:40,300
recipe to to patients Is being 
anchored in him. 

610
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:49,700
I will lose my mind after a 
while if my hope is not in him. 

611
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,900
My sister, the supernatural 
peace of God. 

612
00:42:57,100 --> 00:43:03,000
It comes. 
From your hope being in him. 

613
00:43:05,300 --> 00:43:08,100
Why am I talking about peace? 
Because that's gonna be the next

614
00:43:08,100 --> 00:43:11,900
fruit because there is no 
Supernatural patients without 

615
00:43:11,900 --> 00:43:15,600
peace. 
Because this patience isn't 

616
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:20,500
saying anxiously waiting. 
I'm going to wait, but I'm going

617
00:43:20,500 --> 00:43:23,200
to complain. 
I'm going to wait, but I'm gonna

618
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,000
keep looking out the window when
it's coming. 

619
00:43:27,100 --> 00:43:30,900
I'm awake but I'm gonna keep on 
calling I'm awake but I'm gonna 

620
00:43:30,900 --> 00:43:34,900
keep on asking. 
Know, when you plan a vacation, 

621
00:43:34,900 --> 00:43:36,700
how many times did you call the 
hotel? 

622
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,800
You reserved to see if they 
still got it? 

623
00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:44,200
You guys, sure, show me a 
picture of the room. 

624
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:52,200
Show me nobody in the room. 
Patience is not meant to 

625
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:56,800
paralyze us, but to propel us. 
Patience is not meant to 

626
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:01,200
paralyze us but Propel us 
sometimes we think patients mean

627
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,700
inactivity. 
It means boring. 

628
00:44:03,900 --> 00:44:07,000
It means I'm not going to 
experience anything fun in life.

629
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,300
Maybe God is just saying just 
keep having the fun you been 

630
00:44:10,300 --> 00:44:19,200
having right, right. 
You I know how pregnant I am and

631
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,300
how pregnant this church is and 
is what God has promised for 

632
00:44:22,300 --> 00:44:25,700
Love quest. 
But do you think I can show up 

633
00:44:25,700 --> 00:44:32,100
and lead you through today? 
Only worried about the end 

634
00:44:32,100 --> 00:44:36,700
result of what he promised. 
So what I have to learn how to 

635
00:44:36,700 --> 00:44:39,300
do is, I have to have joy for 
today. 

636
00:44:39,500 --> 00:44:43,500
I don't care if God promised 
10,000 people, he's looking at. 

637
00:44:43,900 --> 00:44:47,100
How is my character? 
How is my joy? 

638
00:44:47,300 --> 00:44:53,100
When it's 10 people that was up,
it was talking to Emerson in my,

639
00:44:53,100 --> 00:44:55,900
right? 
And when knew when we were in 

640
00:44:55,900 --> 00:44:58,700
New West I remember them coming 
to bible. 

641
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:05,800
Study is like 10 people. 
It may be three of them was 

642
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:13,000
serving. 
Elder John, you remember, then 

643
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,400
Wednesday them Tuesday nights. 
You remember when it was 40 

644
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,600
people? 
Remember we get excited or for 

645
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,500
Easter or to New Year's Eve, lot
of people, then you come back to

646
00:45:22,500 --> 00:45:26,600
reality at the next Sunday, you 
got 20 people, then you you 

647
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,700
lose, he's the flux, his but I 
don't care if it's been five 

648
00:45:30,700 --> 00:45:34,200
people, ten people, you go check
the records, preach the same. 

649
00:45:35,100 --> 00:45:38,300
I prepare the same, I don't 
prepare less for less people 

650
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,400
than I do for more people. 
See, it's the secret stuff. 

651
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,000
That's why you wonder how 
somebody get on that platform 

652
00:45:44,100 --> 00:45:45,800
and you like, you don't know 
what they've done. 

653
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,300
You've just been excited about 
10,000. 

654
00:45:48,300 --> 00:45:51,800
They got excited about the one. 
Jesus said I go after the one, 

655
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:55,500
Right here. 
This is the thing. 

656
00:45:55,500 --> 00:45:59,600
You don't know that I praise in 
my secret place the same way I 

657
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:04,000
praise in public. 
I danced the same way at home. 

658
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,500
When ain't nobody looking? 
I laugh. 

659
00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:09,500
I'll scream out. 
I'll have to praise breaks. 

660
00:46:09,700 --> 00:46:12,500
I'll yell I'll cry in the car. 
You don't matter. 

661
00:46:12,500 --> 00:46:17,400
It's not just in front of you. 
Everybody can put on the Shelf. 

662
00:46:18,100 --> 00:46:20,500
Everybody can be strong on a 
Sunday. 

663
00:46:20,900 --> 00:46:23,500
Everybody can love a spouse on a
Sunday. 

664
00:46:24,100 --> 00:46:30,300
At church. 
The process is digging for more.

665
00:46:32,100 --> 00:46:34,000
James one of my fellow 
believers. 

666
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,600
When it seems as though you are 
facing nothing but difficulties 

667
00:46:39,100 --> 00:46:42,300
see it as an invaluable 
opportunity to experience the 

668
00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:45,500
greatest joy that you can when 
I'm going through difficulties. 

669
00:46:45,500 --> 00:46:47,000
It's an opportunity experience 
Joy. 

670
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,800
Like I never have met I am no no
no amen no right after the past 

671
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:57,800
no no I want you to see this 
when it seems as though you are 

672
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:03,400
facing nothing but difficulties 
See it. 

673
00:47:04,500 --> 00:47:08,100
I love that. 
He's challenging your 

674
00:47:08,100 --> 00:47:12,200
perspective. 
See it. 

675
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,900
You can see it many ways. 
You can see it. 

676
00:47:15,900 --> 00:47:18,300
As the end, you can see it as 
the destiny. 

677
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,900
You can see. 
It is nobody like you, or you 

678
00:47:21,900 --> 00:47:25,100
can see it as they missing out 
on me. 

679
00:47:26,100 --> 00:47:28,100
They don't know who they left. 
They didn't just left. 

680
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:32,000
They left a blessing. 
Instead you chasing him to come 

681
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,400
back. 
Do you value who you are? 

682
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,400
Do you value? 
What you have to offer? 

683
00:47:37,500 --> 00:47:41,900
He says, see it as an invaluable
opportunity to experience the 

684
00:47:41,900 --> 00:47:45,900
greatest joy. 
The greatest joy. 

685
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:53,300
For, you know, that when your 
faith is tested, it stirs up in 

686
00:47:53,300 --> 00:47:56,800
you the power of endurance. 
Wait a minute. 

687
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,700
Did he just point that endurance
is in me? 

688
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:12,000
Overcomer is in me more than a 
conqueror is in me, but that 

689
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,900
won't be stirred up without 
something that is going to press

690
00:48:15,900 --> 00:48:16,800
it. 
Out of me. 

691
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:19,500
So what are you going through 
that? 

692
00:48:19,500 --> 00:48:22,400
God is just trying to point to 
you, what he put in you. 

693
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:29,000
He didn't say you overcome, he 
said, you are an overcomer. 

694
00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:33,200
So if you're a living epistle, 
you are the definition of 

695
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:40,300
overcome but you got to have 
something to what overcome If 

696
00:48:40,300 --> 00:48:45,100
you're more than a conqueror, 
you don't just barely make it. 

697
00:48:45,100 --> 00:48:54,200
You don't just strive. he said 
when you, when your faith is 

698
00:48:54,200 --> 00:49:00,700
tested, It stirs up in you the 
power. 

699
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,400
From what the Holy Ghost was 
producing. 

700
00:49:06,300 --> 00:49:08,700
It's okay, so if I'm making a 
car. 

701
00:49:10,100 --> 00:49:14,700
There is a day that I got to 
bring it out to get test-driven.

702
00:49:17,700 --> 00:49:21,900
It just so happened or if you 
know the people testimonies. 

703
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:28,300
Those are dummies. 
And oftentimes we think we gotta

704
00:49:28,300 --> 00:49:32,800
go through it. 
But your mama went through it. 

705
00:49:33,300 --> 00:49:37,400
Pastor went through it. 
Listen to people's testimony as 

706
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:38,800
I try to tell these young 
people. 

707
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,300
All y'all just oh no we were 
dummies. 

708
00:49:44,500 --> 00:49:52,200
You don't gotta crash like us. 
Everybody through want to get 

709
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:56,200
some War scars. 
You want to get shot so you can 

710
00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:04,300
be a rapper. 
Why is rapping about peace and 

711
00:50:04,300 --> 00:50:09,800
love boring? 
That's wild to me. 

712
00:50:11,900 --> 00:50:14,100
That uplifting music ain't going
Platinum. 

713
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,800
It's gotta be some drama. 
It's gotta be degrading. 

714
00:50:21,900 --> 00:50:31,000
And our kids eating it up. 
So, we can't afford not to be 

715
00:50:31,500 --> 00:50:36,600
living Epistles. 
When you're living a pistol, you

716
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,100
don't got us. 
You don't got to speak the word.

717
00:50:43,700 --> 00:50:47,300
Because you're you are the word 
when you are the good news. 

718
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,600
You don't have to go be 
preaching. 

719
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,500
A lot of preaching, people, a 
lot of, a lot of people do the 

720
00:50:55,500 --> 00:50:57,300
parking lot. 
Think it's beat, man. 

721
00:50:57,300 --> 00:51:03,900
You walk that thing out. 
I don't need to give a joy 

722
00:51:03,900 --> 00:51:06,900
scripture. 
I should be the joy scripture. 

723
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:13,600
I don't need to point to fill 
Philippians, x, y and Zed and, 

724
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:17,600
and you can find what peace is. 
No people need real living 

725
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:22,200
examples. 
They don't understand Paul 

726
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,100
chryst kill Christians and God 
used him for that. 

727
00:51:25,100 --> 00:51:28,400
They don't know that. 
They don't understand that we 

728
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,900
trying to flex and exercise how 
much we know but the greater 

729
00:51:31,900 --> 00:51:37,500
demand Is on you being. 
He said, you are the light. 

730
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,500
Of the world. 
You are the salt of the earth 

731
00:51:41,500 --> 00:51:44,500
you will. 
Yale. 

732
00:51:46,300 --> 00:51:50,900
Here's the thing. 
You can't be a translation. 

733
00:51:53,100 --> 00:51:56,500
So sometime people, you can send
them to scripture but a new 

734
00:51:56,500 --> 00:52:01,300
person may land on the let the 
wrong translation or get more 

735
00:52:01,300 --> 00:52:03,300
confused. 
Why y'all got so many 

736
00:52:03,300 --> 00:52:08,500
translations? 
Oh, cuz we trying to get to your

737
00:52:08,500 --> 00:52:10,600
head. 
Instead of instead of just this 

738
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,600
is this, the translate you the 
translation you are the 

739
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,100
translation. 
What is a translation? 

740
00:52:17,700 --> 00:52:20,600
You're communicating what heaven
says. 

741
00:52:21,900 --> 00:52:26,000
That's why he says, when your 
faith is on trial. 

742
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,400
And what we want is, we want God
to do everything, he's proven 

743
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:39,500
himself, you haven't. 
It's crazy man, we are 

744
00:52:39,500 --> 00:52:41,400
believers. 
We are the body of Christ in 

745
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,300
man. 
All the Lord is saying is just 

746
00:52:43,300 --> 00:52:47,800
too. 
Be that living epistle so no you

747
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,700
can't compromise like the world 
because then you compromise the 

748
00:52:50,700 --> 00:52:53,500
translation. 
That's why some translations 

749
00:52:53,500 --> 00:52:57,000
aren't legit translations 
because the word is compromised.

750
00:53:01,300 --> 00:53:02,100
All right. 
So you wonder why? 

751
00:53:02,100 --> 00:53:05,100
God keep hiding you. 
Cause you ain't ready to come 

752
00:53:05,100 --> 00:53:08,100
out yet? 
You still test dummy in. 

753
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:18,800
He's saving you. 
That's love, love hate. 

754
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,200
The person that's going to give 
you the opportunity unprepared. 

755
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:27,200
And and cause you to stumble 
cause you to get embarrassed. 

756
00:53:27,900 --> 00:53:31,000
God ain't asked you to be late 
like overcome everything be 

757
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,400
perfect. 
He's not asking you that but he 

758
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,300
is asking you to begin to 
transform your mind. 

759
00:53:36,700 --> 00:53:39,200
He is asking you to get routed 
to. 

760
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,800
When you get into certain 
situations, you won't get 

761
00:53:41,900 --> 00:53:50,400
uprooted so easily. 
You're forever transforming. and

762
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:58,300
then, as your endurance grows, 
As your weight grows as your 

763
00:53:58,300 --> 00:54:05,800
endurance gross. 
Even stronger. 

764
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:14,800
It will release perfection. 
In other words, maturity. 

765
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:23,500
Okay, okay. 
What are we forfeiting by 

766
00:54:23,500 --> 00:54:28,900
rushing? 
you being there's no wholeness 

767
00:54:31,100 --> 00:54:39,600
I'm gonna go out and say this. 
There's no wholeness in a 

768
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:44,600
moment. 
If you don't have patience, you 

769
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:53,900
will never get home. 
Endurance grows even stronger. 

770
00:54:53,900 --> 00:54:59,600
It will release perfection. 
Into every part of your being 

771
00:55:00,700 --> 00:55:04,700
until there is nothing. 
Missing nothing lacking. 

772
00:55:05,500 --> 00:55:09,300
That is Shalom. 
That is salvation. 

773
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,400
Salvation is not about you. 
Just going to heaven. 

774
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:20,200
Salvation is on Earth as it is 
in heaven. 

775
00:55:21,500 --> 00:55:24,000
But what have you? 
Pawned your piece off, too? 

776
00:55:25,700 --> 00:55:31,700
you can't have peace until so, 
I'm a hurry up in Right. 

777
00:55:32,300 --> 00:55:36,800
You tell me. 
You tell me, hold on, don't say 

778
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:38,700
a single in this generation. 
All heck. 

779
00:55:38,700 --> 00:55:42,700
Naw You just curse somebody. 
Right. 

780
00:55:42,700 --> 00:55:44,600
They'll say fast. 
It is Generation. 

781
00:55:44,700 --> 00:55:48,500
Oh no, you don't say virgin in 
this generation. 

782
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:53,500
No, no, that's that's from hell.
You know, I don't say it. 

783
00:55:53,500 --> 00:56:01,000
Don't, don't do that. 
God's goal. 

784
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,400
Is that you have nothing 
missing. 

785
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:09,300
Nothing broken, nothing. 
Lacking. 

786
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:18,600
That's his will. 
He goes on and says in the 

787
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:23,000
Amplified consider it. 
Holy joyful my brethren whenever

788
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,800
you are enveloped in or 
encounter Trials of any sort or 

789
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:32,300
fall into various Temptations. 
Be assured and understand that 

790
00:56:32,300 --> 00:56:36,200
the trial improving of your 
faith, bring out endurance, 

791
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,200
what's being proven in what 
you're going through your faith.

792
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:47,000
Your faith is on trial. 
Do you really believe God? 

793
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,400
Do you really trust that he's 
your Source? 

794
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,300
Do you really trust that he's 
enough? 

795
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,000
Do you really trust? 
If you don't do this extra thing

796
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,900
over here, he can still bring in
the extra money over here. 

797
00:56:59,900 --> 00:57:04,300
You see what I'm saying? 
Troy, if we do more, we'll get 

798
00:57:04,300 --> 00:57:09,600
the results. 
Nah, nah, that's what Gideon 

799
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:14,500
thought. 
Nah, that's 55 loves to fish. 

800
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:19,500
How you going to feed all them? 
People putting in Jesus hands? 

801
00:57:20,900 --> 00:57:23,500
Right? 
You can go on and you can go on 

802
00:57:23,500 --> 00:57:26,100
and you can go on where the Lord
said. 

803
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:30,800
I don't need all that, quite 
frankly, all of that is getting 

804
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,700
in the way of me and you, it's 
great. 

805
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,000
That's why he took less 
intelligent people because 

806
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:41,900
sometime really smart people on 
paper are not really smart. 

807
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:49,200
I guess, I am so grateful for my
street sense in the way that 

808
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:55,400
I've had my education. 
I'm grateful. because some 

809
00:57:55,400 --> 00:58:01,500
people you overthink it you you 
think yourself out the box, We 

810
00:58:01,500 --> 00:58:03,000
don't we don't talk about that 
too. 

811
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:11,700
Like somehow hell is in the Box.
More options. 

812
00:58:14,900 --> 00:58:20,700
More options, let endurance in 
steadfastness and patience have 

813
00:58:20,700 --> 00:58:24,700
full play. 
And do a thorough work so that 

814
00:58:24,700 --> 00:58:27,900
you may be people perfectly and 
fully developed went with no 

815
00:58:27,900 --> 00:58:31,400
defects. 
That's his will lacking in. 

816
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:35,800
Nothing that's his will. 
So this is why you can have more

817
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:41,600
and still be incomplete. 
You can be wealthy. 

818
00:58:42,700 --> 00:58:47,000
And still kill yourself. 
You can be a pastor with a 

819
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:51,400
thriving church and still have 
to check yourself in a hospital.

820
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:56,100
How is this happening that the 
same people? 

821
00:58:56,100 --> 00:59:03,100
That's preaching, this gospel. 
Are then killing themselves or 

822
00:59:03,900 --> 00:59:08,100
infidelity is happening, but 
they're over marriage Ministry. 

823
00:59:10,500 --> 00:59:14,500
What are we thriving for? 
What is the go? 

824
00:59:16,100 --> 00:59:19,300
What do I need that? 
Spouse for, please get married. 

825
00:59:19,700 --> 00:59:24,800
But answer why? 
Because they're not your savior.

826
00:59:25,700 --> 00:59:30,500
Some of us got married early, 
right? 

827
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,700
Some of us got married because 
of a season. 

828
00:59:34,700 --> 00:59:42,500
We was in. 
Now we looking at the thing, we 

829
00:59:42,500 --> 00:59:48,000
like, what the hell did I do? 
What happened? 

830
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,700
You changed? 
You grew. 

831
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,300
You got married based on what 
you needed. 

832
00:59:56,700 --> 00:59:59,700
You got in that friendship, man.
I'm I watch it all the time. 

833
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,300
I watch the familiar spirits, 
working the church all the time.

834
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,400
Because I get, I get to know. 
I get to know. 

835
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,700
I get to know people a little 
bit more than some some do and 

836
01:00:08,700 --> 01:00:12,200
you cpuc familiar favorites. 
Gravitate people with same like 

837
01:00:12,300 --> 01:00:18,200
situations and issues, they find
themselves It's familiar. 

838
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,900
It's I found someone to complain
to our found, a fresh fruit. 

839
01:00:21,900 --> 01:00:22,900
Whatever. 
It may be. 

840
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,900
You have to press toward the 
mark. 

841
01:00:26,300 --> 01:00:29,100
You have to deny yourself of 
messy. 

842
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:34,400
You have to deny yourself go on 
a drama diet. 

843
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:41,600
Go on a complaining diet. 
The find someone that's going to

844
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,700
actually not get in the pit with
you. 

845
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:57,700
Patience. 
Is that work to assist you into?

846
01:00:57,700 --> 01:01:05,500
Will you to victory, you ready? 
A part of leading us. 

847
01:01:07,500 --> 01:01:09,500
How many people want to be led 
by the Holy Ghost? 

848
01:01:11,500 --> 01:01:15,400
A part of leading us is also 
forbidding us. 

849
01:01:16,100 --> 01:01:19,800
Oh, can I help you? 
Can I help us tonight. 

850
01:01:20,900 --> 01:01:25,700
A part of leading us is also 
forbidding us. 

851
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:30,600
We have to, we have to learn how
to be as happy with the 

852
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,200
closed-door, as we are with the 
open door. 

853
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,300
And Paul and Silas passed 
through the territory of 

854
01:01:39,300 --> 01:01:42,300
phrygia. 
And galatia having been, what 

855
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:47,100
forbidden by, who the Holy 
Spirit to what proclaim, the 

856
01:01:47,100 --> 01:01:51,500
word in the province of Asia. 
Oh, stop for a minute, the Holy 

857
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:59,300
Spirit stopped them from 
preaching the gospel. and this 

858
01:01:59,300 --> 01:02:03,100
is a trap right here, when we 
think everything, we because 

859
01:02:03,100 --> 01:02:07,400
we're doing something good, God 
permits it. 

860
01:02:09,100 --> 01:02:14,300
Let me, let me, let me say God, 
blesses it, he may permit it, 

861
01:02:14,700 --> 01:02:17,600
he's responding. 
Here's the dangerous part. 

862
01:02:18,700 --> 01:02:26,300
Is we see results from doing the
good thing, but we forget he's 

863
01:02:26,300 --> 01:02:30,800
watching over his word. 
So it doesn't mean because you 

864
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:34,200
did a good thing. 
He's pleased with you, it just 

865
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:42,700
means he's faithful to his word.
So a lot of times we're looking 

866
01:02:42,700 --> 01:02:46,400
to do the good thing and we 
think automatically God God has 

867
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:50,600
blessed it because it's good. 
It's not sinful ain't gambling. 

868
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,400
I'm not doing this. 
I was just sharing the gospel in

869
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,700
the parking lot but was it in 
order? 

870
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,100
Was it an undertone of 
undermining? 

871
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:02,800
Right? 
I just was having coffee over 

872
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,400
here with this person, or I was 
just investing over here, it 

873
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:13,900
could be good, everything is 
permissible. he told me that 

874
01:03:13,900 --> 01:03:17,500
long time ago just because 
everybody say good word Pastor 

875
01:03:18,300 --> 01:03:23,800
then I still go to the back and 
say Lord Did I deliver what you 

876
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:29,300
told me to do because your 
emotions or your needs were met?

877
01:03:29,300 --> 01:03:35,900
Doesn't mean I was obedient It 
just mean God is faithful to his

878
01:03:35,900 --> 01:03:42,300
word, and too many times. 
We let a good idea and a god 

879
01:03:42,300 --> 01:03:44,300
idea. 
And then we find a scripture 

880
01:03:44,300 --> 01:03:46,500
where he did it before, he could
do it. 

881
01:03:46,500 --> 01:03:50,400
Again, saying God, right now, 
saying God back then. 

882
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,600
And then we find people who will
agree with it. 

883
01:03:57,700 --> 01:04:01,000
And those are the people we get 
to agree first or will get 

884
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,100
accountability. 
Then we'll find somebody who 

885
01:04:03,100 --> 01:04:09,100
agrees and we'll go with. 
And here we see these brothers 

886
01:04:09,100 --> 01:04:10,900
really are going to preach the 
gospel. 

887
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:20,800
And the Holy Spirit said, no. 
and when they had come opposite 

888
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:27,800
Missy uh, They tried to go into 
bithynia, but the Holy Spirit of

889
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:33,600
Jesus did not permit them again.
They're just trying to share the

890
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:39,600
gospel. 
Alma go, right? 

891
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,700
This on, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna
go ahead his writing session and

892
01:04:42,700 --> 01:04:48,000
write this Jesus song. 
Because we talked about Jesus, 

893
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,700
they obviously is the blessing, 
they let them go, right? 

894
01:04:50,700 --> 01:04:54,100
But Jesus, I'm gonna take this 
speaking engagement because I'm 

895
01:04:54,100 --> 01:04:58,800
preaching about Jesus. 
Right. 

896
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:00,700
But, but but forget the 
accountability. 

897
01:05:00,700 --> 01:05:03,200
Hey hey, Pastor are. 
Hey Elder. 

898
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,500
Hey, what do you think about 
this opportunity that was 

899
01:05:05,500 --> 01:05:10,100
presented to me? 
There's a bigger picture. 

900
01:05:13,300 --> 01:05:15,300
We don't want that. 
We want to stay independent, we 

901
01:05:15,300 --> 01:05:18,200
want to do our own thing and we 
don't understand that the Lord 

902
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,800
has sent someone in your life. 
That's not afraid to say no. 

903
01:05:23,100 --> 01:05:26,900
That is partnering with him. 
You think they getting in the 

904
01:05:26,900 --> 01:05:29,900
way of you and God but actually 
he partnering with him. 

905
01:05:33,500 --> 01:05:37,300
And that's what you want is, 
somebody partnering with God, so

906
01:05:37,300 --> 01:05:41,500
they can help you get to where 
God is calling you to go. 

907
01:05:46,100 --> 01:05:49,600
So passing by Miss year they 
went down to troas there. 

908
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,000
A vision appeared to Paul in the
night. 

909
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:56,300
One place says they had laid 
down finally they rested from 

910
01:05:56,300 --> 01:06:01,800
there. 
They rested from their Pursuit, 

911
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:05,600
they rested from their grind. 
They rested from their efforts 

912
01:06:06,100 --> 01:06:07,800
and it was when they entered 
rest. 

913
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:15,000
They got vision. 
And it says a man from Macedonia

914
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,700
stood pleading with him and 
saying, come over to Macedonia 

915
01:06:18,700 --> 01:06:23,800
and help us. 
And what we find is, is they go 

916
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,700
to Macedonia? 
That's where they run into the 

917
01:06:25,700 --> 01:06:28,900
damsel. 
Have to cast out a demon out of 

918
01:06:28,900 --> 01:06:31,200
that, damn, so that of 
divination. 

919
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:35,800
So, you're going to experience 
wrote some Warfare on the road 

920
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:38,800
to the real plan. 
And a lot of times, we think 

921
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:44,100
where it's easy is where the 
blessing is, Yes, that's what 

922
01:06:44,100 --> 01:06:46,900
the children Israel. 
You brought us out here to die. 

923
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,300
It's long. 
We should have went the other 

924
01:06:51,300 --> 01:06:54,200
way and it was almost about to 
go back. 

925
01:06:55,400 --> 01:07:02,800
To bondage. 
Because God had a longer route. 

926
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:09,500
But a route that preserve them 
and grew them, but they started 

927
01:07:09,500 --> 01:07:11,100
getting them pockets of 
gossiping. 

928
01:07:11,100 --> 01:07:13,400
Miss kopke pockets of 
complaining. 

929
01:07:14,700 --> 01:07:17,700
And then he got mad when the man
of God didn't move fast enough 

930
01:07:18,100 --> 01:07:21,200
because he was just trying to 
hear from the Lord to guide the 

931
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:27,500
people. 
And then after they got thrown 

932
01:07:27,500 --> 01:07:30,600
in prison, we don't know. 
We we forgot how they we just 

933
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:33,500
read late in the Midnight Hour 
where they didn't get in prison.

934
01:07:33,500 --> 01:07:36,900
They got in prison on the way to
the vision. 

935
01:07:42,900 --> 01:07:45,900
Maybe this didn't happen, maybe 
this wouldn't happen if they 

936
01:07:45,900 --> 01:07:49,700
went. 
Tell Missy and went to these 

937
01:07:49,700 --> 01:07:54,600
other places but obedience got 
them locked up. 

938
01:07:59,500 --> 01:08:04,500
And because they went, where God
told them to go, when they pray,

939
01:08:04,500 --> 01:08:08,000
you notice what they did in 
prison, they were innocent and 

940
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,400
imprison. 
The Bible says they prayed. 

941
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:14,100
And they what worshipped, They 
were all God. 

942
01:08:14,100 --> 01:08:16,700
You called us to, go over here 
and this how you treat us? 

943
01:08:20,700 --> 01:08:23,800
They didn't at least it wasn't 
documented that they 

944
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,800
second-guessed if they heard 
from the Holy Ghost. 

945
01:08:32,399 --> 01:08:35,100
And then here's the vision. 
There was an earthquake. 

946
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:41,800
And then the prison guard. 
Asked to get saved, and he asked

947
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:48,600
to get his family saved. 
Because they laid down and 

948
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:53,000
rested, they got a vision that 
was connected to more than them.

949
01:08:56,300 --> 01:09:01,500
They got a family saved. 
But on the route to fulfill that

950
01:09:01,500 --> 01:09:11,300
vision. 
Persecution. if some delays, But

951
01:09:11,300 --> 01:09:13,300
what kept Him going is God's 
vision. 

952
01:09:17,899 --> 01:09:22,500
All right. 
Or Woodland is for you. 

953
01:09:30,300 --> 01:09:32,399
Yep. 
Yep. 

954
01:09:35,100 --> 01:09:40,100
Yeah. 
Okay, everything we could ever 

955
01:09:40,100 --> 01:09:45,300
need for life. 
And godliness. 

956
01:09:47,399 --> 01:09:52,399
Has already been deposited in Us
by his divine power. 

957
01:09:57,100 --> 01:09:58,800
This is sobering scripture to 
me. 

958
01:10:00,300 --> 01:10:04,700
I don't care whatever anybody in
here is chasing after here's 

959
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:10,400
here's this says it all for me. 
Everything. 

960
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:17,300
What does everything mean? 
Everything we could ever need. 

961
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:24,700
For life and godliness has 
already. 

962
01:10:25,900 --> 01:10:30,900
Been deposited in Us by his 
Divine. 

963
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:36,100
So, Most of the stuff that got 
us stressed out. 

964
01:10:38,700 --> 01:10:39,900
No no no. 
But listen. 

965
01:10:39,900 --> 01:10:42,700
Listen listen, listen. 
Listen. 

966
01:10:46,500 --> 01:10:49,500
This ain't what's in US, ain't 
even our Focus. 

967
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:56,900
What we need for Joy is stuff. 
We gotta chase. 

968
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:08,300
He says everything we will ever 
need for life and godliness was 

969
01:11:08,300 --> 01:11:19,100
put in US. 
And it was just putting this, 

970
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:26,400
but it was lavished upon us. 
More than enough Joy more than 

971
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,900
enough piece. 
This, why he can say in every 

972
01:11:29,900 --> 01:11:36,200
situation, give thanks in every 
situation have peace because he 

973
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:41,300
put it in us and he understands 
that he okayed the situation 

974
01:11:41,500 --> 01:11:46,600
because the situation was okayed
by him to reveal what he put in 

975
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:53,000
US. 
And the Lord is telling his 

976
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,500
children, you got to redefine 
what success is. 

977
01:11:59,300 --> 01:12:01,100
Because we could live a lot 
longer. 

978
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:04,300
If we lived off what he put in 
US. 

979
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:08,800
But the stuff we're worried 
about is taking us out. 

980
01:12:10,700 --> 01:12:12,900
And he put us, he put you in 
this world. 

981
01:12:14,300 --> 01:12:19,700
To be an example. 
That I got more than I was born 

982
01:12:19,700 --> 01:12:26,200
with what I need to live. 
I was born with what I need to 

983
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:34,300
enjoy life. 
And then all these things are 

984
01:12:34,300 --> 01:12:39,500
added. 
The stuff should be in addition 

985
01:12:39,500 --> 01:12:45,600
to Like I love me some good 
pound cake. 

986
01:12:47,500 --> 01:12:50,400
Or good cake. 
Donuts from leaves. 

987
01:12:52,700 --> 01:12:57,900
But it wouldn't hurt if you add 
chocolate glaze on it. 

988
01:13:00,100 --> 01:13:08,500
But listen, without the glaze 
it's already what good and you 

989
01:13:08,500 --> 01:13:13,400
got to get to a point and 
realize life itself in the Lord 

990
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:22,200
is already good. 
For all this was lavished upon 

991
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:24,500
us through the rich experience, 
here it is. 

992
01:13:24,500 --> 01:13:28,300
Key of knowing him. 
Here's the problem. 

993
01:13:29,500 --> 01:13:34,600
That same James scripture. says 
count, it all joy knowing this 

994
01:13:35,500 --> 01:13:40,000
and some of us can't make it 
under pressure because in 

995
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:45,300
pressure We don't know this. 
We don't know that he's 

996
01:13:45,300 --> 01:13:49,500
faithful, we don't know that our
pit is only a path, not a 

997
01:13:49,500 --> 01:13:53,100
destination. 
We don't know that that the 

998
01:13:53,100 --> 01:13:55,800
enemy has cycles that he runs 
through. 

999
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:59,500
He has no Eternal plan for us 
with that plan has been 

1000
01:13:59,500 --> 01:14:02,300
defeated, we're coming out of 
this. 

1001
01:14:03,100 --> 01:14:06,100
We don't understand, we don't 
really know that weeping may 

1002
01:14:06,100 --> 01:14:10,700
endure for a night but joy comes
in the morning, we don't know. 

1003
01:14:12,100 --> 01:14:15,900
That he traded my Sol's for joy.
We don't like when we're under 

1004
01:14:15,900 --> 01:14:18,300
pressure, we forget all that 
stuff. 

1005
01:14:19,100 --> 01:14:24,900
So he says, thus the stuff that 
he's putting you, that's why 

1006
01:14:27,300 --> 01:14:29,400
When you find him, you find 
life. 

1007
01:14:30,300 --> 01:14:33,500
He's called his by his name and 
invited us to come to him 

1008
01:14:33,500 --> 01:14:37,400
through a glorious manifestation
of his goodness. 

1009
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:46,900
I challenge you. 
That you are the greatest prize 

1010
01:14:46,900 --> 01:14:50,500
on this Earth and when you 
start, making you the most 

1011
01:14:50,500 --> 01:14:55,000
important thing in life over all
the stuff you're chasing. 

1012
01:14:55,300 --> 01:14:59,700
You'll find Joy. 
Don't you dare shelf your joy? 

1013
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:04,300
Another day be trying to grind 
to make your career? 

1014
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:06,600
What? 
No, no, no, you can't not treat 

1015
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:10,000
you or to somebody died for you.
Not your job. 

1016
01:15:12,100 --> 01:15:15,300
And you are not a job. 
You are not janitor. 

1017
01:15:15,300 --> 01:15:18,800
You are not pro ballplayer. 
You are not model. 

1018
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:23,600
You are not, you aren't Chef, 
you aren't cop you. 

1019
01:15:23,700 --> 01:15:29,600
That's not you. 
Those are all vehicles in and 

1020
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:34,800
platforms, but we took too much 
emphasis on what we do versus 

1021
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:38,100
who we are. 
And if you don't know who you 

1022
01:15:38,100 --> 01:15:42,400
are, you can't be patient. 
Anybody could steal your 

1023
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,000
happiness. 
Anybody can steal your joy. 

1024
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:48,700
One little thing happened in 
your life and you've lost it. 

1025
01:15:51,100 --> 01:15:53,900
And I just want to pray tonight 
that you stopped selling your 

1026
01:15:53,900 --> 01:15:59,300
joy for so cheap. 
You stop being so easily 

1027
01:15:59,300 --> 01:16:02,400
offended, you just giving your 
piece away on the corner this 

1028
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:07,700
here. 
Let me tell you. 

1029
01:16:08,700 --> 01:16:12,600
The devil don't got to work that
hard. 

1030
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:18,900
To disappoint you. 
You woke up disappointed. 

1031
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:25,100
The devil didn't make, you 
disappointed your mindset, the 

1032
01:16:25,100 --> 01:16:28,800
way you see life the way you 
see, failure the way you see 

1033
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:32,900
success the way, you compare 
yourself the way you the way you

1034
01:16:32,900 --> 01:16:36,600
just think about yourself the 
way, you see your problem, the 

1035
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:39,400
way you see your trauma, the way
you see, how you grew up the way

1036
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:41,900
you see your parents away, you 
see your church the way you see 

1037
01:16:41,900 --> 01:16:44,400
your city? 
You know, I want to go here. 

1038
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:47,300
I'm tired of being here. 
I want to marry that I want. 

1039
01:16:47,300 --> 01:16:53,700
Know what about you? 
What about you that? 

1040
01:16:53,700 --> 01:16:56,900
That's what I'm trying to get 
you. 

1041
01:17:01,100 --> 01:17:04,600
If I'm meeting with people, we 
could spend an hour talking 

1042
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:09,000
about getting rid of external 
stuff and never talking about 

1043
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:15,200
you. you've identified with 
pandemic, you've identified with

1044
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:20,000
divorce, you've identified with,
it's always raining, you've 

1045
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:27,200
identified with all these things
I tell you guys all the time 

1046
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:33,900
like a black man. 
And there is Injustice going on 

1047
01:17:33,900 --> 01:17:40,100
in the world. 
But how I see myself. 

1048
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:49,700
Helps me not buy in. 
What if every black person or 

1049
01:17:49,700 --> 01:17:53,500
every person of color saw 
themselves as a victim? 

1050
01:17:56,500 --> 01:17:58,600
There's some people in here 
that's been molested, there's 

1051
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,400
people in here, that's been 
raped, there's people in here 

1052
01:18:01,500 --> 01:18:05,700
that is benefit that has been 
treated with Injustice, but God 

1053
01:18:05,700 --> 01:18:11,100
needs you to overcome and not 
beat the victim so that you can 

1054
01:18:11,100 --> 01:18:17,900
help victims. 
Right, and here's the tea, don't

1055
01:18:17,900 --> 01:18:28,200
feel guilty for overcoming. 
The worst thing that can happen 

1056
01:18:28,900 --> 01:18:31,900
is there's more people to relate
to that. 

1057
01:18:31,900 --> 01:18:34,900
Got what I got? 
Because now I'm a part of a 

1058
01:18:34,907 --> 01:18:38,400
club. 
And just because I don't see 

1059
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:43,700
myself as a victim just because 
I don't see all cops one way or 

1060
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:47,500
all Caucasian people want way. 
Don't mean I'm a sellout. 

1061
01:18:47,900 --> 01:18:49,500
You don't mean. 
I'm less black. 

1062
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:52,800
You don't mean nothing to know. 
Somebody got a Martin Luther 

1063
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:55,000
King while don't write on his 
coattail. 

1064
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:56,500
If you ain't gonna see what he 
did. 

1065
01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:01,400
He fought he got the change 
through love da, don't get it 

1066
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:03,500
twisted. 
Look at who was in the marches 

1067
01:19:03,500 --> 01:19:06,500
it wasn't all black people, he 
had white people. 

1068
01:19:06,700 --> 01:19:10,900
At the board table, he was clear
that it was something above. 

1069
01:19:10,900 --> 01:19:12,700
He was up, don't forget, he was 
a pastor. 

1070
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:18,200
He was aware, it wasn't the 
white man. 

1071
01:19:18,300 --> 01:19:21,800
He was aware, it was a spirit 
behind the white man. 

1072
01:19:21,900 --> 01:19:25,200
So if I understand the spirit 
realm that's causing these 

1073
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:27,700
things, I can have love for my 
enemy. 

1074
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:31,900
And if you can have love for 
your enemy, real change can 

1075
01:19:31,900 --> 01:19:37,900
happen anywhere. 
So when you got people that's 

1076
01:19:37,900 --> 01:19:40,900
put in your life, that sees the 
spirit behind what you're 

1077
01:19:40,900 --> 01:19:43,600
dealing with, don't think they 
don't care. 

1078
01:19:45,100 --> 01:19:47,000
No, no, no. 
And you don't just need a 

1079
01:19:47,008 --> 01:19:49,500
Christian counselor. 
Can I help somebody? 

1080
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:55,100
I'm trying to help somebody I'm 
trying to help somebody just 

1081
01:19:55,100 --> 01:19:58,500
because somebody counsels you 
with the scripture. 

1082
01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:01,900
Don't mean their counseling, you
by the spirit. 

1083
01:20:12,700 --> 01:20:21,500
I need spirit-led wisdom. 
By the book is safe. 

1084
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:32,900
But Raymond gets results. 
The gift of wisdom, the gift of 

1085
01:20:33,100 --> 01:20:38,900
knowledge. 
Gets results in. 

1086
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:44,100
I really believe that. 
The Lord is challenging us. 

1087
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:49,900
To purge ourselves. 
Of our crutches. 

1088
01:20:52,300 --> 01:20:54,400
And he's really trying to get to
you. 

1089
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:59,700
Your precious, you're special. 
You are sweet. 

1090
01:20:59,700 --> 01:21:03,100
You are fearfully and 
wonderfully made and the stuff 

1091
01:21:03,100 --> 01:21:05,900
that you are. 
Surrounded, anybody ever CET 

1092
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,500
know what those that have seen 
ET? 

1093
01:21:09,500 --> 01:21:12,400
Remember, ET was hiding in the 
closet with all the stuff 

1094
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:16,100
animals, right? 
He was just surrounded and like,

1095
01:21:16,100 --> 01:21:18,800
some of you are so surrounded, 
can't nobody hug you? 

1096
01:21:20,100 --> 01:21:23,200
Can't nobody love you. 
You so surrounded with with 

1097
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:28,600
walls and calluses and and not 
being insensitive but with 

1098
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:38,500
issues that you were keeping My 
issues can be present, but they 

1099
01:21:38,500 --> 01:21:45,800
don't have to be an obstacle. 
And all I'm saying, is you, we, 

1100
01:21:46,500 --> 01:21:53,000
we put our issues on a pedestal.
Instead of putting them where 

1101
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:58,600
they belong, I'm not denying the
facts, but I am exalting the 

1102
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:02,900
truth. 
And so, all I'm telling you that

1103
01:22:02,900 --> 01:22:09,100
your dreams, keep them but don't
exalt them, your goals, keep 

1104
01:22:09,100 --> 01:22:13,100
them, but don't exalt them. 
Don't abandon first things, 

1105
01:22:13,100 --> 01:22:17,600
don't abandon your family. 
That's not God. 

1106
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:19,200
Don't abandon your church on 
donut. 

1107
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:22,300
Don't don't don't abandon 
because you've been abandoned. 

1108
01:22:23,900 --> 01:22:28,900
Right work on your trust issues,
you have boundaries not walls. 

1109
01:22:30,300 --> 01:22:38,500
Stop keeping people out. 
Let the right people in I really

1110
01:22:38,500 --> 01:22:42,600
feel the Lord. 
Is after his church. 

1111
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:46,100
And what this next move is 
requiring of us. 

1112
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:55,200
This shift is our generation 
really needs us to lay our lives

1113
01:22:55,200 --> 01:23:00,100
down. 
I don't see any generation Ever 

1114
01:23:00,100 --> 01:23:04,400
Changing. 
Without a movement of sacrifice.

1115
01:23:06,500 --> 01:23:08,200
So you can make your life all 
about you. 

1116
01:23:10,300 --> 01:23:13,900
But I will tell you God is Not 
invested in. 

1117
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:19,000
Goals, that's about you. 
Because you can help you. 

1118
01:23:20,100 --> 01:23:22,000
You can go get Tony Robinson to 
help you go ride. 

1119
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:24,700
It Rita Oprah book, you can go 
to the seminar, you can invest 

1120
01:23:24,700 --> 01:23:28,600
your money, in a pyramid scheme,
you can you can work hard, you 

1121
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:30,700
can get rich, what you can do 
all kind of stuff. 

1122
01:23:30,700 --> 01:23:32,400
Go to the club, you can find 
friends. 

1123
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:37,400
Go online the Dateline. 
You can find somebody today. 

1124
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:41,100
Do you But what God's involved 
in is Generations. 

1125
01:23:41,100 --> 01:23:45,700
He's trying to save Generations.
And I don't know about you but I

1126
01:23:45,708 --> 01:23:47,900
want my life to count. 
I think your life should count. 

1127
01:23:47,900 --> 01:23:51,900
I think you're special, I think 
you're way more special than you

1128
01:23:51,900 --> 01:23:55,800
give yourself credit. 
I think your perspective of you 

1129
01:23:55,800 --> 01:24:00,100
sucks. 
Whoever you are. 

1130
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:03,200
It sucks. 
The way you talk about yourself 

1131
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:07,200
in your head, the way you 
entertain, the enemy's lies all 

1132
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:08,900
the time. 
I will tell you. 

1133
01:24:08,900 --> 01:24:12,500
This there are some of you in 
here, you should not be stuck 

1134
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:15,200
where you are as long as you 
have been. 

1135
01:24:16,500 --> 01:24:20,000
You are stuck where you are. 
As long as you have been because

1136
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:26,500
you've gotten comfortable there.
And it's scarier to jump out of 

1137
01:24:26,500 --> 01:24:31,500
it. 
It's easier to ask someone to 

1138
01:24:31,500 --> 01:24:34,200
come over on the on the edge 
with you versus them. 

1139
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:36,400
No you come. 
And you need more friends in 

1140
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:37,200
your life, isn't? 
Nope. 

1141
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:39,800
I'm not coming over there again.
You need some friends. 

1142
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:42,800
That came to the lame, man and 
said, nope, silver and gold. 

1143
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:45,000
I'm not giving you another dime.
You've been begging for too 

1144
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:47,000
long, silver and gold, I have 
nothing. 

1145
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:48,500
But what I do have, I give it to
you. 

1146
01:24:48,500 --> 01:24:51,400
I got Jesus Christ, right? 
You need them friends. 

1147
01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:54,100
That stop giving you silver and 
gold giving you bread. 

1148
01:24:54,100 --> 01:24:56,000
You need to Jesus. 
You need the friend that's gonna

1149
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:59,100
say pick up your mat. 
No, pick it up. 

1150
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:01,600
Right? 
You need that friend last one. 

1151
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:04,600
No, no got it. 
You need that friend. 

1152
01:25:04,700 --> 01:25:06,900
That that if they carry you, 
they going to carry you through 

1153
01:25:06,900 --> 01:25:09,600
the roof to see Jesus, but 
they're not going to sit on your

1154
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:12,700
hospital bed on the side with 
balloons and flowers. 

1155
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:15,400
I want to help somebody listen. 
Listen. 

1156
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:17,800
Listen, y'all give me right and 
put. 

1157
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:19,400
Please bring balloons and 
flowers. 

1158
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:20,600
Those are nice. 
Okay. 

1159
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:23,900
But bring Faith to write some 
making people comfortable in the

1160
01:25:23,907 --> 01:25:26,800
hospital. 
The goal is to get them out 

1161
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:28,600
right. 
The goal is to get them out. 

1162
01:25:29,300 --> 01:25:32,900
You gotta come out, we FaceTime 
see on she over there. 

1163
01:25:32,900 --> 01:25:36,600
Wheezing Gene in the room and 
how bastard are you doing? 

1164
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:38,700
And we probably praying a prayer
faith. 

1165
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:43,100
And I remember the one night we 
were, we were we were streaming 

1166
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:49,500
and I said, see y'all you coming
home You can ask her what the 

1167
01:25:49,500 --> 01:25:52,600
result of that was. 
You need people and she came 

1168
01:25:52,600 --> 01:26:00,900
home. 
Right. 

1169
01:26:00,900 --> 01:26:03,000
Stop stop. 
Stop thinking. 

1170
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:06,700
You need a pacifier and those 
who won't give you a binky. 

1171
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:13,000
They from the Devil. 
Now, I'm glad my mama or my 

1172
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:16,100
daddy who ever taught me how to 
ride a bike, didn't hold my hand

1173
01:26:16,100 --> 01:26:18,400
the whole time. 
I'm glad they stood over there 

1174
01:26:18,500 --> 01:26:21,200
and said, come on, and I'm glad 
when I got close to him, they 

1175
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:23,200
kept backing up so I can go 
further. 

1176
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:28,300
Right, you need spotters in your
life, not carriers. 

1177
01:26:30,900 --> 01:26:32,800
Until who works out in here, 
amen. 

1178
01:26:34,300 --> 01:26:36,800
Father, in the name of Jesus, we
thank you. 

1179
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:41,500
And you guys hand out that 
communion and we'll close father

1180
01:26:41,500 --> 01:26:46,000
in the name of Jesus, we thank 
you for patients, come on. 

1181
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:53,800
Say, holy spirit. 
Stir up endurance in me, I will 

1182
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:59,400
wait on you. 
But teach me how to wait. 

1183
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:09,000
Bring friends into my life. 
That will be patient enough to 

1184
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:15,400
teach me the way to go. 
So I want my joy. 

1185
01:27:16,700 --> 01:27:22,100
I want my peace. 
I'm tired of the up and down. 

1186
01:27:23,100 --> 01:27:27,500
I want consistency. 
Because that's what you died 

1187
01:27:27,500 --> 01:27:31,300
for. 
Jesus name. 

1188
01:27:32,300 --> 01:27:34,700
Amen.
