Wrecked By God!

Oh, and so, Father, we just thank you for Bruce. Lord,

we thank you for the word that you've placed on his heart. Father,

I asked that you would just speak through him. Lord, I give

him permission and full blessing to speak every word Lord that you have for us.

So, Lord, I asked that you would cause your anointing to fall

yes in Jesus name. Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen. I was

having a little trouble in them. It's the worship service today. I gave

God permission to wreck me. And I didn't mean right then, God,

but that's what happened anyways. And ah yeah, and then she came up

and prayed over the fathers that had had a rough life. And are people

that had a rough life with their fathers. And I can celebrate Father's Day

with just so much joy because I had a great dad. And I'll tell

you something, I had a great diet. But I don't know if he's

in heaven or not, but I have a first father and his name is

Jehovah. He's my abba father. And over the last few years he's he's

allowed me to call him that, and I've learned how to to just fellowship

with him that way, and I'm really privileged this morning to share. Pastor

gave me a warning, said I should not last beyond like two thirty.

Uh so, Um, but wasn't two thirty? Where do you go?

Um? I want to talk about being ruined by God, or being wrecked

by God, or being undone by God, because because that's really what God

wants to do for us. It's a privilege to bring the word here a

place where where people are obviously worshiping God and obviously seeking Him, and and

I'm just blessed by that. Let me tell you what happened. Uh,

last Sunday, I was sitting over here, or this lady sitting and and

my friends were with me, and in the midst of things, Pastor was

bringing things to a close and and and God told me something that this church

needed to hear. And basically he said, this group of people needs to

get undone by me. And I said, okay, God. You know,

sometimes I'll come up and say something, but sometimes I'll just kind of

let us sat and ruminate and and just kind of digest in my spirit.

I never said a word to anybody except my friend Brent and and maybe his

wife Jennifer. And I didn't say a word to pastor justin. I just

didn't do it. I said, God, if you want this to happen,

you're gonna have to open the door. And Thursday night I was sitting

at home, minding my own business, and I got a text, Hey,

you want to preach on Sunday. And first I looked at it and

I said, this Sunday. And then then I said, well, God,

if if, And then I remembered God wanted me to share something with

you guys, and praise God, He's opened the door. So so would

you just pray with me right now? Lord God. There is nothing greater

than your love for us. There's nothing more powerful or gives us more potential

than your desire for us. And Lord God, today, thank you God.

You wrecked me in the worship service. You've done it to me before

here, and I just pray that next Sunday you do it all over again,

Lord, because when I'm wrecked for you, I'm wrecked to the world.

And I thank you for that. Father, hallelujah. So so who

am I well? And nobody's special. Be very honest with you. I

don't have a Bible degree, but I planted three churches. I've done a

lot of different things, and God's given me the desire of my heart and

all those things, and I kind of casually tell people I have a bam

diven PhD because I'm born again, my mass there's divine and I'm pretty hard

on the devil. Amen. Okay, and yes you can steal that,

Okay, just don't use it next Sunday pastor Okay, because they will remember.

Maybe you came here this morning with the joy of a four year old

little girl who just learned how to skip and knows that her dad's taken her

to get ice cream. Okay. But maybe you came here today and you're

just about at the end of your rope, and you've struggled with this and

that, and you've been scarred, and there's people here today who never knew

their earthly father or their father was was a mess. Doesn't matter, because

God is here to touch your heart today. That was a little slow.

Okay, we'll work on that together. Okay. You know you may have

crawled in here and maybe that slow response was why. You know, but

God wants to do some things to you. And let me just say something

about the spiritual forces over this area. Being from New England, and I'm

almost far enough from New England now, but but being from New England,

there's a different spiritual principality there. It's a it's a Greek principality that tries

to talk about about intellect and how important you are and how the world messages

you, uh measures you, and all those things. But that stuff doesn't

matter. But here, in the midst of a hundred churches, the principality

here is a religious spirit. Well what does that mean? Well, first

of all, there are no second generation Christians. Okay, that's that's the

way. You just can't be a second generation Christian. But you can be

a second, third, fourth, or fifth generation religious person. And that

doesn't work. You need a real relationship with Jesus Christ. And I can

get away with saying things that this nice fellow here might not say. Okay,

but I'm going to there's a danger for you to come to church with

low expectations. If you came to church this morning with low expectations, please

don't raise your hand. Okay, I don't want to see that. But

I'm talking to you. Okay. That's just the way it is. God

intends for us to come here and for him to touch us. You know,

sad things happened to me last night about eleven o'clock at night, when

when I had to hug my daughter and my oldest granddaughter and my youngest granddaughter

and know that they were flying away this morning and going back to New England.

That hurt, okay, But I also have the great joy of knowing

that I have an oldest granddaughter and the youngest granddaughter, and a daughter who

loves me and who followed in some of my footsteps. And all those good

things have happened to me because I have this first father and he wants to

work in my life. Years ago, there was a song written by a

guy named Don Ingalls. I don't know who he is, and I'm going

to save you the paint of me trying to sing it to you, because

that wouldn't be pretty. But he wrote this song and it says, don't

leave here like you came in Jesus name, okay. And it's a pretty

famous gospel song. A lot of the Black churches sing it and it's a

part of their repertoire. But I want you to make a confession with me,

please, And I really mean this, Will you say this with me?

I won't leave here the same in Jesus name, And you just kicked

open a great, big door for God's favor. You know. A little

while back, just for a little background, I taught a fairly lengthy Bible

study from the Book of First Peter. And I spent the whole first session,

the first session of the whole process, talking about Peter, who he

was, and where he was from, and what he did, and that

he smelled like fish and those kinds of things and all of that. But

when I felt called, and pastors already quoted one of my scriptures this morning

to talk about Isaiah, whose name, by the way, means God is

salvation. It won't take me long to explain what the Bible says about Isaiah,

because it don't say very much. It says he had a dad named

Amos, not Amos the prophet, but Amos, who was possibly probably ascribe

for the king, so he had this important thing to do in his life.

But but really other than that, and that he was married to a

prophetess okay, And and man, can people go down a rabbit trail on

that one? Okay? Oh my goodness. I started studying that because because

I believe women can be used of God in ministry. Okay, all right,

I'm just gonna tell you that. Okay. So I looked up the

word prophetess in Hebrew. Guess what it means, prophet? Okay, all

right? And and and then I said, well, there there's got to

be a better explanation where I got gotta be more more evidence here how God

works. And and sure enough I looked in the Book of Exodus, and

it says Miriam was a prophet. Okay. You can't de gender that,

okay. You you can't make that a male thing because Miriam didn't live in

twenty twenty three. Okay, And we'll kind of leave that one along,

Okay. I'm one other thing I know about about Isaiah from history is that

he gave his kids strange names. Okay. He named one of them sheer

Jaba jasub okay, and that means a remnant will return. And then he

named the second son a lucky kid. Okay, mayor shall all hashbaz Okay.

Now there's a name that not everybody on the street hat. And and

I can tell you that kid probably knew when his mom called his full name

he'd better get home. Okay, all right, So now we know that,

Um, other than that, Isaiah was not a political figure. He

was not somebody of noble birth, nor did he look like Brad Pitt as

far as we know. And okay, ladies back to me now, I'm

gonna get back contract. All right. So but what else do I say?

Because God chose this common person to change into an uncommon instrument of eternal

significance, and he would like to do that in your life too. Okay,

that wasn't good enough. Okay that the phrase is supposed to go to

God. Okay, he wants to change you into a specific and powerful instrument

of God's plan. Okay, it's it's not just it's not just pastors.

It's not just those kinds of things. Uh. God wants to use you

in a special way. And I figured that out a while ago. Um,

I got a friend request on Facebook, and yeah, I know that

made me special, right, but uh and I always question who these people

are. And the guy who sent me the prayer request or the friend request

was Matt Wilson. So, I mean, Matt Wilson's a pretty common name.

I'm a little selective about friends. On Facebook, and so I messaged

him back and where's Rob. You want to hear this? Okay? This

is a way to be known, Okay, So here we go. I

said, how do you know me? And what can you tell me about

me that makes me different than other people? He didn't write back your short

and fat okay. But but he wrote back and he said, listen,

I worked with you as a police officer, and you were known for praying

with people beside the road instead of giving them tickets. I said that fella

knows me, okay, So praise God doesn't make me special, just makes

me yielded to God. Isaiah, chapter six, verses one through eight.

I'm going to read it out of the NIV. I don't know what you

call that, but I was kind of listening. But I'm a little deaf.

Okay Isaiah's commission, Okay, Isaiah saye. And the year that King

Yuziah died, I saw the Lord high and exalted, seated on a throne,

and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphims,

each with six wings. With two wings, they covered their faces,

with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying, and

they were calling to one another. Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord

Almighty. The whole earth is full of his glory. And at the sound

of their voices, the doorpost and the thresholds shook, and the temple was

filled with smoke. We almost got there today, okay. The worship here

was powerful today, and I loved it. Verse five. Woe unto me,

I cried, That's what Isaiah said. I am ruined. I am

wrecked, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among

the people of unclean lips. I know this happened in seven forty two BC,

but it might as well have been twenty twenty three AD, because I'm

a man of unclean lips and I live amongst the people of unclean lips.

So this matters. All of this matters, okay. And Isaiah goes on.

He said, in my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.

And then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in

his hand, which he had taken with tongues from the altar, and with

that he touched my mouth, and he said, see this has touched your

lips. Your guilt has taken away, and your sin atoned for that's a

pretty good definition of the relationship that your first father wants with you. And

then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, whom shall I send and

who will go for us? Okay? Us one God, three persons with

a message to people, okay, And I said, here I am,

send me. And I won't go on to tell you, but the message

he gave him to say wasn't the most popular message in the world, okay.

And if you read it in the Hebrew, you'll really find out that

it was very specific that God was talking to church folks about the way they

were living in the victory that was not in their lives. So here God

chose this common guy, and this was a real occurrence. This wasn't some

vision, Okay. Something happened there where Isaiah was taken out out of his

seven forty two BC reality and eshered into the Kingdom of God. And it

may actually have been so far into the I don't want to get too theological

here, but it could have been so out into eternity that the God he

saw was the Lord Jesus Christ. They post resurrection, Lord Jesus Christ.

And here's what he saw. He saw the Lord, and that word there

is ad on okay, as in the word that you would say for ada

and i, which means master God. And he saw him as high.

And the word there is the word rom phonetically okay, and it means this.

It means being high above, but not by perception, but by actually

having the position. It's not about what this first word high ram means.

It's something that God really is. And then and then it goes on and

said that he was exalted. And that word is the word nisa, and

it's the same word or the same root word as the title Jehovah Nisi,

the Lord our banner. Okay. That word means having a position that is

given or recognized. It's not about about something that really is. It's about

how you see that position. That really is why am I doing this,

because because it's kind of important. When I get to the end of this,

you're going to see why the word means having a position recognized. And

please understand that God is high and lifted up, but it's up to you

to make him recognized as your Jehovah Nissi. And if you don't think that's

a part of your life, then see me afterwards. Okay. All of

this reveals this relationship of reverence to God that ruined Isaiah's earthly plans. Let

me tell you about a guy, a kid that came to my youth group.

His name was Mark Williams. Mark Williams parents were ministers. I loved

his family. My second daughter has Mark's mom's name as her middle name.

We just loved these people. What great examples they were. Mark was in

our youth group. He was tall, he was good looking. All the

girls you know, like that, and everybody was all excited about it.

Mark thought he was going to be a doctor, and he had the brains

for it, and he was all set up for this. But he started

coming to our youth group with his parents, who were part of our church

because we were their home church in Colorado, and God wrecked him. God

wrecked his plans because in the midst of his planning to go off to medical

school, God said, I got something better for you, buddy, And

God took Mark Williams into the ministry. Mark Williams became the general overseer of

a seven million member denomination that's on fire for God. Okay, and then

Mark got done with that, and now he's the pastor of the central kind

of like pivotal church of the entire Church of God denominat, and he's on

fire. He don't say what people want to hear. He says what God

wants him to say. So God kind of wrecked his life. Um,

why did I say that? Because because this is where the cool part really

starts. God reveals himself and his surroundings with the angels, with the seraphim

and then allows or ordains one of them to rescue Isaiah from his from his

just deserts for being an unclean person in the presence of God, and then

moves into this thing where God says, you know, I'm touching you,

I'm healing you, I'm making you fit for my work. That's what God

wants to do with each of us. Don't ever think God doesn't have something

special for you to do. Now I'm from I'm from New England. I

still can't make you all into one one syllable. It's kind of two with

me. Uh, I can't do that yet. I've lived in the presence

of the sun for a long time. I've been a Christian for fifty years,

but I'm still trying to get used to living on the surface of the

sun. Okay, because it's it's been a little rough for for us cold

weather folks here. Okay, but we love it here. Um my wife,

God bless her. She's wonderful, forty nine plus years of marriage.

And and she gets better looking every day, and and and her vision is

going. So I get better looking every day, and those kinds of things.

But but God works here. And the reason I asked I mentioned that

is because I want to ask you a question. Does anybody here in Kerville

Ingram comfort wherever you're from? Anybody here other than the self employed guys and

ladies work in a job where there's no Christians? Anybody here? Dad,

jokes are on suspension today. Okay, Dad, jokes are mine to give

today. You you prayed over me? Anybody else? You do? You

work with a place where there's no other Christians? Do you know how rare

that is here? It's very rare. You know how common that is in

New England to work someplace where you're the only Christian. I love you,

guys. I love the fact that that I can go someplace and witness to

somebody and they'll and the person that's standing beside of them will go. Yeah,

I feel the same way. Okay. I ran into a satanist at

Costco the other day and his shirt said not today Jesus on it, and

he had this goat head and a pentagram, and his beard was black,

and he had a little hat on with two little horns sticking out of it,

you know. And and my buddy walked right by him, and in

the whole time, I think he was chuckling because he knew that I wasn't

gonna walk right by this guy, okay. So I walked right up to

him, and I asked the obvious question, and I said, what if

it's today? What if it is today, Jesus, No, it can't

be today. I'm not ready for it to be today. Well that opened

the door a little water, and I said, well, I'm ready for

it to be today, okay. And I looked over and the ladies standing

there handing out the little treats at Costco, you know, where you get

a free meal and then you go pay for a buck and a half hot

dog and and and she looked at the guy, looked at me and said,

yeah, I'm ready for it to be today too, Yes, Praise

God. And then as I'm walking away, you know, I said,

could be today, and he says, he said to me, oh,

he really, y'all have been in pastures, right? He stepped in it,

okay, And I'm sorry, but I grew up between two dairy farms,

so I'm very acquainted with that. And he turned around and he said,

Heyles Hayton, and I said, not today, and I walked away.

And I've been praying for this guy. I don't know what his name

is, but God's got a target on him. Okay, all right.

If Abah told me last week that many right here need an undone encounter with

him, then that means something. First, he wants you to know that

your knowledge of him, your experience with him, can increase over and over

and over again. It doesn't ever have to be stale. And then the

next thing you want you to know is that the basics don't prepare you for

battle. A more clear knowledge of who he is, his royalty, his

real presence, and the way that he wants to work in your life will

ruin you for this world. That's my sincere prayer. Okay. Initially I

thought that there were three forces that want to undone you. Okay, that's

the King James word. Too bad, one good. But now I realize

there's at least four of them. First one that wants to undone you or

ruin your life is Satan's Crew. Okay, they're spewing confusion all over this

world, and those people out there that are trans don't realize that it's us

who are trans We're transformed. Okay, we're made new. Okay, that'll

preach, by the way. So Satan's Crew in John chapter ten, verse

ten, the first part of that verse says, the thief only comes to

steal and kill and destroy. Well, Satan's Crew has that in for you.

That's what he wants for you. Things, And I go, oh,

my goodness, how these people get into this stuff. So the devil,

we know that he's our enemy. Just confess that the devil is my

enemy. He man, hey, man, Well he's not your only enemy,

okay, because right behind the Devil's crew comes your flesh. This is

where I get to be a little bolder than the pastor okay. Roman's fourteen,

verse seventeen, The first part of that verse says, for the Kingdom

of God is not a matter of eating and drinking. That means church and

being in God's house is not something you do between breakfast and pot roast.

Okay, it's something that should be a highlight part of your day. And

God wants to bless you in it. He wants to wreck you, but

in the best way you can think of. So your flesh gets involved and

it's eating and drinking in the pleasures of life. Your flesh is wrecking you

when you become pretentious. I've been a Christian for fifty years, and you

don't put the part in where I'm a sinner saved by grace and now I

don't have to sin because God's rescued me and He's given me a new way

of living. That's pretentious when you just neglect that last part, your flesh

is wrecking you. When you become jealous or envious of other people's talents.

You know why you don't have other people's talents because they ain't yours. Okay,

Sean stands up here and plays and sings, and he doesn't left hand.

I can't even hold on to a fork with my left hand. Okay,

I mean, you know how does he do that? Anyways? Praise

God. You don't want to hear me play a guitar either, all right.

So so the devil and your flesh, and here's the one that gets

most people. It's your past. Okay. It seems that what we need

to realize that each encounter we have with the living God is deliverance from the

past and promotion towards the future. In Second Peter, chapter one, verses

three through nine, it says, this his divine power. That guy seated

on the throne, that guy that's high and lifted up, that guy who's

who's Who's train of his robe a sign of royal authority and influence fills the

temple. And he's got angels all around him who've been contented for all eternity

to just sing, Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God.

That same guy came to earth. It was crucified and rose from the dead.

So you don't have to be trapped by your past. And that gets

us here, but it doesn't get us here quite so fast. You don't

want to know about my past. Why was I at decent cop because I

was such a sneaky little bugger when I was a kid. Okay, So

God said his divine power. Don't you quote me on that either. Okay,

His divine power has given us everything we yet we got that right,

Paul has given us everything we need for godly life through our knowledge of him.

Everything you need to get beyond your past was given to you by God's

power. Anthony came up from prayer a couple of weeks ago. The Lord

told me, that's stuff that he's battling, that's from his past. It

has no right to be on his life anymore. You know, praise God

for that stuff. He loves us. Okay, through our knowledge of Him

who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given

us. That means you and I has very great and precious promises, so

that through them, through his promises, you may participate in the divine nature.

Okay. That's better than what you're living right now, most of us.

Okay, I mean, God manages to pull us into these godly things.

But you know, we get frustrated in traffic, and we do things

we shouldn't do. And Pastor was watching, and you know, having escaped

the corruption of the world and caused by evil desires. Okay, for this

very reason, make every effort to add to your faith, goodness and the

goodness, knowledge and to knowledge, self control and to self control, perseverance

and to perseverance, Godliness and to Godliness. Mutual affection and to mutual affection

love. And that should be in your marriage class, by the way,

because that's all about making success. My wife and I are so very different,

and we are so very in love. It's amazing. Okay. For

if you possess these qualities an increasing measure, how do you get that by

having more experiences with God? Do you hear that? You don't gain in

your spiritual life unless you have more experiences with God. And believe me,

what He really wants to do is wreck you, Okay. He wants to

break the old man, make you look like some kind of a Picasso painting

in your flesh, and just raise you up into the glorious life that God

has for you. Philippians chapter three Versus eight, and then twelve through fourteen.

What is more, I consider everything a loss besides because of the surpassing

worth of knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whose sake, I have

lost all things. I consider them garbage. And that's a safer translation than

what the king James says. Okay, back to the cow pastor. Okay,

that I may gain Christ, not that I've already obtained all this basically

what Paul say. And this is God's still reckon me. He still reckon

me. I love the fact that I go to a church where the pastor

is passionate and full of God's Holy Spirit and anxious to please God. And

so are these musicians. Man, I'll tell you I have the gift of

discernment. If you come up here and fake it, I'm gonna know.

Okay, I may not say anything, but I'm gonna know because a very

anointed friend of mine said, Bruce. God didn't give you the gift of

discernment of spirits so you could look down your nose at them, he said,

but that you could pray for them. So all right. So but

I press on to take hold of that which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

How simple is this? How profound? But how mist is it?

Your past doesn't stack up against this stuff? It does not. I was

not a good kid, and when I first got married, I wasn't a

very good husband either. Okay, but God kept working on me and pulling

me in. And if he can pull in a a carp like me.

Why can't he pull you in because he wants to? Why dude, here's

a question. Okay, in case you wondered, this is a question.

Why does so many believers insist on measuring themselves by their past? Show me

that in the word of God, it's not there you measure you know.

There's one side, Well, I measure myself because I was a sinner and

I did bad things when I was young, or I did bad things yesterday.

Okay. God doesn't measure you by that. And then there's the other

side where people measure themselves by by past successes. Well I'm important, yes,

oh my Okay, you know that's the way it is. I worked

with Rhodes scholars, literal Rhodes scholars. I worked with people that were presidents

of international organizations of types of eye surgery. I mean, I've been around

some pretty potent people. But guess who the Christian was in the group.

Okay, And boy did I try to tell him about Jesus. You pass

into your past accomplishments don't work. Okay. God was the god of yesterday,

and some may need a clean up or called deliverance. And I understand

that. And God is the God of the future, of your eternity and

those things. But sometimes people have a real problem understanding that God is the

God of today. He's the God of twelve seventeen on a Sunday afternoon.

Who wants to move in us? Okay, if Paul wrote those words that

said I'm going to press on, then maybe we should too. And finally,

the one who really really wants to wreck your life in the best way

is God himself. Recognize this Isaiah's encounters with God himself. It wasn't his

first encounter. Okay, he was already a prophet. Here's what the Word

says in Romans, chapter fourteen, verse seven seventeen. Excuse me, and

I mentioned the first part before The Kingdom of God is not a matter of

eating or drinking. But then there's this comma and I like grammar in the

Word of God said but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

And then the second half of John ten ten says, for I have

come so that you and I may have life and have it to the full.

Delvill doesn't want you to encounter God because then you realize how powerful God

is. And your flesh is a liar that tells you, well, it's

okay that for you to doubt and dabble and delay things for the pleasure of

this world, it's stealing from you when that happens. I don't mean that

you have to be some acetic monk. You know, you don't have to

be a Christian Gandhi. Okay, but if there's something you placed before God,

then there is a blank space in your heart where the good things are

missing. I get to say that. Okay, I heartily agree. Texas

is an amazing place. We moved here because of that. But I can

clearly discern that there's too many people here who have left their first love and

they dove headlong into the things of this world. And here's what I got.

And I'm just going to speed ahead to this a little bit because I'm

running out of time, and pastors looking at this watch just saying, Okay,

there's an awful lot of people here who are Christians who know more about

Cummings and powerstroke and Durhamax then they know about who mephibishef is and not to

leave just you ladies all hyendry here. There's an awful lot of ladies that

know who Javanci Is and Michael Cores and the Cardassians, but they don't realize

that Hadassah is another name for Queen Esther, and she was more beautiful than

every other woman in that land. So please understand, I'm not criticizing you.

Do you know what? And this is my closing thought right here.

Do you know what God says when you come to him and say, hey,

I need to be undone. You know what he says to you.

This came to me a few weeks ago and I'm hanging onto it. God

says to you when you come to him and say I repent God, I

want to new me, I want to better me, I want to I

want to turn my love over you. You know what he says. He

comes up to you and he says, guess what, Let's start over.

And he says it just that way. He wants you to know how much

he loves him and he wants you to be sorry. That's the Church of

gotten me to come down from the platform. Okay, yeah, so you

know, um, that seemed seated, shining, exalted Savior wants to wreck

your life. He wants to take away your infatuation with the words. And

if God delivers you from a nice f one fifty. I receive it in

Jesus name. I drive a Honda Court. My wife and I came here

in one accord, okay, or we'll leave here in one accord. But

yeah, sorry, that was that was low. That was that was low

hanging fruit in the dad joke closet. Okay. But when you fail or

fall or flounder, God just wants you to be undone all over again.

Would you stand with me, please, Father God. You want to be

all up in my business. You want to be all up in my business

to give me a du life. You want to be all up in my

business to beat the devil bad. You want to be all up in my

business, Lord God, when my flesh begins to take control and your spirit

gets gets shoved into a closet. You want to be all up in my

business when I remember my fast, my past, what you say, Oh,

I have a hope for you in a future. You want to be

all up in my business when I when I'm a little dry in my worship

and you come and you nail me in a worship service, So I have

to go looking for Kleenex and have to stand there and cry because God loves

me that much and he loves you that much too. Oh. God wants

to wreck youe church. God wants to destroy the strongholds in your life.

And he is able to do it according to his good will over you.

Hallelujah, Hollywood pastor, Oh thank you. That's a good word. Y'all

give him a hand, please, So if if I can get some of

the prayer team to come up to help catch um if need be. And

uh, mister Richard Holcom is going to be coming forward and h Troy's going

to be assisting, and Richard's going to be doing a father's blessing. This

is not limited to men today. This is a father's blessing. Yeah,

And so I just want to encourage you. Don't be bashful. Come forward

if you want to touch from a father's blessing and from a father. Show

who your name? Lady in the four back in the green, come up

here, Come on, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. She's a

minister of the gospel. Tell him your name now. And what I do?

I work at the Pregnancy Resource Center and you help me, yes,

her and you pray for people. Yes, Yeah, she's a lake.

You can see this this is what church is all about. This is a

message without words. Inside of you lives a living God that she can pour

out to other people. She said. I prayed for her a while,

bike I don't remember. I just remembered. She's a minister of the gospel,

a woman who has given out everything in her body. And this is

what, if anything, you can think inside of your body, you can

be that kind of a person. Don't ever put yourself down. You heard

the sermon while a gold. Believe in yourself, Believe in who you are,

and give away what God has given to you. And all you have

to do is believed. The greater is Heath is in you than he who's

in the world, and out of you out of your own mouth. If

you want to know who you are, wait until you've been kicked. Now,

if any of y'all ever been kicked, what came out of your mouth

before Christ? I had a horrible, horrible, horrible mouth, and I

had to repent over and over and I had to call people sixteen years later

for the words that I used that crush people. And if you think a

blessing done work, I can promise you a cursing does work, because you

curse people, and you put people down. And so right now I want

to give to you a blessing, a father's blessing. Like I don't remember

what I prayed, not one word. Didn't remember I prayed for, But

God did. She did. She ma'am at the door, and she said,

you prayed for me six seven months ago. And so inside of each

one of us is a living God waiting to get out. He's not waiting

to be stuffed inside. He's waiting for you to give it away to people.

Just like this lady right here, she believes in me. She believes

what I'm saying. She has a spirit of God inside of her, because

inside of her is a spirit to give away what God is given to her.

All through this building, you are literally I had a vision my wife

talking. Got to do this, my cousin one day he grabbed himself,

Grab yourself and hold your arms around you. He said, I got to

get ahold of myself. And so if you ever get somewhere in life you

don't oh good or want, grab yourself charms around you, and said,

I got to get a hold of myself. I hold your hands up,

please, in the name of Jesus Christ. I bless you with the promises

of God. What your yea and amen, be blessed with supernatural strength to

turn your eyes from evil and worthless things. May you behold the wonderful things

that God has planned for you. I bless your ears to hear, your

eyes to see in your spirit to understand the wonders of our God. May

your hands and your feet be ever outstretched to help those. Indeed, God's

grace be upon your home. May God give you success and prosperity your places

of labor. Wow. May God give you spiritual strength overcome the evil one

and to avoid temptation. God's grace be upon you to fulfill your dreams and

your visions. The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his

face to shine up on you and give you grace and peace. May His

goodness and his mercy follow you all the days of your life. And I

bless you, I bless you, I bless you in Jesus Name. Thank
