  339. Jesus asking, He said.

  340. No, I ain't got no week.

  341. The man of God look at him and said, cast

  342. your net on the other side of the.

  343. Bible said that he cast his net on the other

  344. side of the sea, on the other side of the ship,

  345. and you shall find that they catch.

  346. Therefore, and now they were not able to draw it

  347. in for the month to do the fishes.

  348. I'm telling your church the Bible said, therefore the disciples

  349. of Jesus.

  350. Love setting to Peter, he is that not the Lord?

  351. Right?

  352. Son? That Peter heard that it was the Lord, he

  353. girded himself. He turned his fishing cold on to me

  354. before he was naked, and he cast.

  355. Himself into the sea. And the other disciples came in

  356. little ships. They were far They wasn't far from the land.

  357. But listen a way, if I said, they dragged the

  358. next skin we fish. We've yet to drag a bunch

  359. of me a broad feeder.

  360. But you know what, we don't saw fishing. We went

  361. fishing the other day. Only Captain Field caught fish, every

  362. one of us. He catched them and got numbers. We

  363. went the next day. Two people, I think caught fish

  364. that day. This is church, and maybe it's the first

  365. day too. Did I can't remember exactly what you two

  366. people caught fish the did the Bible say when they

  367. came up there. As soon as they had come to.

  368. The land, they saw a fire of coals there, and

  369. they laid and fish, laid their own and bread. Jesus said,

  370. of the them, bring of the fish which you have now.

  371. Simon went up and he drew the net to the

  372. land of great fish, one hundred and fifty three a bit,

  373. yet it was nothing net broke. Listen, convert combt.

  374. I know I'm not going burmut our.

  375. Church, and I'm telling you this is what card lay

  376. upon my heart. He's smolen again. Peter looked at him

  377. and he said, I don't have no fish. He said,

  378. cast it on the other side, and by the obedience

  379. of Peter, his neck was greatly filled with one hundred

  380. and fifty three fish.

  381. Later, Jesus asked him, you love me, I'm gonna ask

  382. you something with a spirit. You're the inspirations. Tell my

  383. message is going. People look around and say, brother step

  384. He's quiet.

  385. He don't do a whole lot since I've been here.
