  4. season. Sons and daughters are coming

  5. home. So you know what to do.

  6. Get your Bible, get your water, get some coffee, get some tea

  7. and get yourself ready to receive.

  8. The time is now, and if you don't know the drill then you

  9. better learn the motto Did you love things, man?

  10. Why we keep praising him? Because he never fails.

  11. When my friends have changed, when my family has changed, when

  12. the economy changes, guess what? He stays the.

  13. Same the reason I keep praising him, because he is the only one

  14. I can truly depend on. I trust my wife.

  15. I love my wife, but I can't depend on her to wake up

  16. tomorrow to give me what I need. But who I can depend on is God

  17. every time. So I'm not going to praise my

  18. job more than I praise the one that gave me the job.

  19. I'm not going to praise my wife more than the one that gave me

  20. my wife. I'm not going to praise the

  21. building. I'm not going to praise the

  22. governor. I'm not going to praise nothing

  23. but God all the time because He wakes me up.

  24. He comes through when I've been sick.

  25. He healed me when I was depressed.

  26. He gave me joy. He always shows up and then

  27. there's this other part where you like, but how you always

  28. excited, That's a good question. Just because I'm always excited,

  29. don't mean I always feel excited.

  30. I've gotten over being feeling based.

  31. You know how some of you are plant based, Some of you are

  32. feeling based. I'm faith-based.

  33. I walk by faith and not by sight.

  34. I could have came in here with a bellyache.

  35. But boy, I've exalted his healing power.

  36. And guess what? I didn't forgot.

  37. My stomach hurt. Amen.

  38. I forgot I. Wasn't feeling good?

  39. Amen. You can go in and be seated.

  40. Thank you, worship team, for pouring your heart out.

  41. You can be seated in the presence of the Almighty.

  42. Hallelujah. Look at your neighbors, say.

  43. Believe it or not, he always shows up.

  44. All right, So let me step down here for a minute.

  45. How you guys doing? Good.

  46. You. Good.

  47. My, my, my desire for every person in here is that you fall

  48. in love with Jesus. My desire is that you actually

  49. take him serious too. My desire is that he becomes

  50. your number one, like He's your everything.

  51. My desire is that you be consistently, consistently, in

  52. faith, in love, in joy. There is a place you can get

  53. where your walk with God is uninterrupted.

  54. That doesn't mean you never get upset.

  55. That doesn't mean you never make mistakes.

  56. It just means upset. And mistakes don't steal your

  57. joy, upset mistakes don't steal your hope.

  58. Upset and mistake. Don't steal your faithfulness.

  59. You get what I'm saying? In the same way I got to show up

  60. for you every single week with there's people you got to show

  61. up with every single week. That's looking for your joy, not

  62. just your presence, because some people could do without some of

  63. the presents you bring. You get what I'm saying and what

  64. I'm trying to tell you is, is is we're in a brand new year and

  65. the devil is a lie, that what you've been going through has to

  66. live with you today. And what I hope for you is that

  67. you not only fall in love for yourself with the Lord, but you

  68. fall in love with the Lord so much that other people can feed

  69. off your life. Get what I'm saying?

  70. So when you let things get in the way of your walk with the

  71. Lord, you let people. You let things get in the way of

  72. people being impacted by the Lord through you.

  104. I will promise you this. I will promise you this.

  105. Can I promise you this, I promise you this.

  106. That this, this experience is going to be very, very.

  107. Good. It's going to be very powerful.

  108. It is going to be very life changing for those that step

  109. into the river, not observe the river step into it.

  110. OK, I just need you to follow me as I follow the Lord and we

  111. going to end up somewhere really exciting.

  112. OK, The return to the fear of God.

  113. OK, we understood over the last couple weeks that you could

  114. possibly love God but not fear God.

  115. Right. You think about love, right?

  116. And you know I'm not going to keep hitting my wife.

  117. Be like I love you. But but you gonna have to take

  118. some of these punches, OK? Couple black eyes.

  119. I love you. No, I'm not going to keep doing

  120. the same thing. If I love you, I might have a

  121. measure of love. But not agape.

  122. See, what the world gives you is love, wrote no romantic song is

  123. talking about agape because the song is based on conditions.

  124. I've never heard a hard beat song like girl, if your leg

  125. messed up, I'm here, right? I've never heard an R&B song

  126. that listed the flaws of a person.

  127. You get what I'm saying? It's all conditional and

  128. marriage in the world is not based on agape.

  129. And let me tell y'all some of y'all got married.

  130. Not on agape. You got married on E roast and

  131. now you mad at E roast fruit. Now your husband married you

  132. because you was. You know what I'm saying?

  133. You knew how to dance. You look good.

  134. There was some. You know what I'm saying?

  135. My wife knew how to dance. She dropped it on me.

  136. The. 1st. Night Not, Not like that.

  137. Like on the dance floor, On the dance floor.

  138. Double fisted, PJ I remember. I remember.

  139. I remember. I remember.

  140. Now she holy, she said. Now she holy, though.

  141. Don't get food. Don't get food and and so look,

  142. look, look, we got to we got to stop laughing.

  143. We got to stop laughing. We holy.

  144. We can't. Laugh.

  145. OK, So what? What was I talking about?

  146. Not my wife. Heroes, right.

  147. Heroes. And what we don't understand is

  148. I'm, I'm, I'm going to end up writing this book.

  149. But I'm like, when we talk about love we always think it's

  150. romance related. So there's a lot of if I started

  151. a A relationship series this would be a packed place because

  152. everybody think that Love Is All about dating.

  153. So we getting this culture hooked on dating and hooked on

  154. relationship, understanding that you got to be a better single so

  155. you can be the greatest partner. You don't find your other half,

  156. you know, God, I'm a one of one. You see how confused the culture

  157. is? I'm a one-on-one, but I can't

  158. wait to find my other half. Which one are you?

  159. Are you one or two? And so you get married, you

  160. sleep around, and then you get the fruit of emotions.

  161. Agape never changes. So when I get married based on

  162. agape, I'm never thinking about divorce.

  163. It's not even an option. And and and and communicating to

  164. your spouse that you want to get a divorce, some of y'all in

  165. here, you've thought about it. So don't think that God don't

  166. want to deal with you because you ain't communicated it.

  167. It's in your heart. And I will tell every married

  168. couple in here you are the problem more than your spouse

  169. is. Oh, it's quiet in here, This

  170. guy. I don't even know how we got the

  171. Holy Ghost has taken over me. I don't know how we got here.

  172. But the point is, is the moment you you, you are so fixated on

  173. somebody elses mistakes, you have lost sight of grace.

  174. Who do you think your little stinking your prideful, arrogant

  175. self? Thank you, or I feel this thing

  176. because the Lord ain't telling me to shut up.

  177. OK, Who do you think you are that you have the audacity to

  178. spend all that energy, hold people's faults over their head,

  179. and your stinking self still got issues?

  180. Put your life under God's limbs and not yours, and you can see

  181. how filthy and nasty you really are.

  182. You might be able to hold your tongue, but the point is, is

  183. your tongue nasty? You just holding it.

  184. So all you're saying is I hold venom in my tongue.

  185. I just ain't spewed it out. It's only a matter of time.

  186. Get the plank out of your eye and put it on yourself.

  187. Focus on yourself and focus on God and be who God wants you to

  188. be. And until you become God, stop

  189. judging. I don't know who that's for, but

  190. you have. You have.

  191. You are cutting days off of your life stressed out over somebody

  192. else's change. My kids need they daddy hole.

  193. Not they daddy Stressed out trying to change they Mama.

  194. That's because you thought that you got the power to change

  195. somebody and you don't. And that's why you're

  196. frustrated. Because you can't do God part.

  197. Hey, because he's an all time God.

  198. Some of y'all don't even want to laugh.

  199. That's your problem. That's your problem.

  200. You thought you was going to come take notes for your spouse

  201. today. Pull that paper back out.

  202. Come on. The return to the fear of God.

  203. And that's what this is all about.

  204. When I fear God, it is me and His presence, not me, bringing

  205. my spouse's issues. But to be holy, I have to be.

  206. I have to be fixated on Jesus. I have to be.

  207. The right prayer is Lord, captivates my spouse.

  208. Captivate my children's heart for you not.

  209. For me, you know what I'm saying?

  210. Somebody made a great point last night.

  211. A lot of times people are interceding for themselves. 1st

  212. is interceding for them and when I'm interceding for them, I want

  213. them to know God out of their change, not know that I'm happy.

  214. I'm, I'm preaching so good right now.

  215. I'm preaching really, really well right now.

  216. Hallelujah. I'm an A man myself.

  217. I'm an A man myself. This is going to be really good.

  218. I'll tell you. I'll tell you.

  219. I'll tell you, I'll tell you. So this is a call back to.

  220. To Holy We've gotten way too far off.

  221. JT we've gotten way too far off. We've gotten focused on how to

  222. do Church well and not be church well.

  223. We've made Holy out of like, collars, turtlenecks and turbans

  224. and covering up all our skin and no secular music.

  225. And we made Holy out of out of out of free range, right.

  226. It's just like so it's something in us that's trying to be the

  227. cleanest that's why we want to go to plant based.

  228. We're trying to search for what's the cleanest way to eat

  229. and what's the cleanest way to detox.

  230. So steam rooms and and and what do you call it?

  231. Saunas and spas are making billions of dollars because

  232. everybody know we supposed to be clean.

  233. But why? We keep on trying to figure out

  234. how we could stay dirty and get clean.

  235. Why do you? Why do we want to keep on

  236. getting dirty? Why?

  237. Are we still trying to find out what can we get away with?

  238. And God's not mad at us? Let me help you out.

  239. You can go outside right after this, smoke some, crack some

  240. heroin and drink 1/5 of Hennessy.

  241. And God's not going to be mad at you.

  242. You're. Going to be mad at you.

  243. God don't need to beat you up. You beat yourself up and half of

  244. you might be where you are because you are so hard on

  245. yourself and your expectations is beyond God's expectations for

  246. yourself. And God simply just wants you,

  247. not you made-up. He doesn't want the Hollywood

  248. version of you. He does not want the IG version

  249. of you. He does not want the the zoom

  250. half of you. No, I think God won't waste

  251. down. God won't What ain't on the

  252. camera. Don't give me spirit and truth.

  253. Come on, he's crying. Holy man.

  254. He's calling us back. The holy and holy is fun.

  255. Holy is a clear conscience. Holy is fruitful.

  256. Holy is sustaining. Holy is generational wealth.

  257. It is make man when you walk in holiness it is so good.

  258. It is so strengthening. I don't got to go to bandwidth

  259. wait on my mind. I just know that I've given my

  260. day to God. And giving your day to God does

  261. not mean don't go nowhere. It just mean everywhere you go,

  262. you're mindful of Him. You set your meeting aside for

  263. him and say, Lord, you have say in this boardroom.

  264. If you want me to say something in this boardroom, I'll say it.

  265. If you need me at this gas station to pray for somebody,

  266. I'm here. It's just constant communion

  267. I've set myself. It's simple.

  268. I've set myself aside for him. I'm no longer my own tool, so

  287. the bottom. It ain't in there, but I just

  288. got to say it. From the bottom to the top, stem

  328. Didn't know we was born with it. The devil understands that the

  329. fear of God is the greatest treasure of God's children.

  330. The fear of God is where everything begins.

  331. The fear of God is where wisdom begins, is where love begins, is

  332. where everything good in God's Kingdom begins.

  333. The fear of God. That's why he don't mind you

  334. going to church. He don't mind you loving

  335. religion. He don't mind you praying.

  336. What he don't want, what he's afraid of, is you having the

  337. fear of God, a healthy fear and reverence, and all of God.

  411. It's not like you got to stop letting things pull you.

  412. It's like, cut it like, yeah, I'm tired, but I'm going forward

  413. tired. Not being in the in the in the

  414. middle tire I can't waver. Tired I can.

  415. I'm gonna just March forward and then the strength of the Lord is

  416. going to kick in, right? And so for me, he says this,

  417. this unshakable Kingdom. And do you see, we must be

  418. thankful. We we must be thankful more than

  419. complaining, the son and daughter of God who has a true

  420. revelation. Of his goodness.

  421. We don't complain. And here it is.

  422. Some of us can't fathom a life without complaining.

  423. You're like, what? What?

  424. What do I do If I don't like something, what do I do?

  425. Well, it depends on what it is. If if somebody bring you to the

  426. restaurant a burnt steak, right, that that's not right.

  427. No, I'm not complaining. I'm requesting an adjustment.

  428. I'm requesting an adjustment. I asked for medium rare and you

  429. gave me burnt. That is that is like 4 stages

  430. away from what I asked. Please adjust this.

  431. Thank you so much man. You're doing a great job besides

  432. and you can tell the way the what some of y'all be mad at the

  433. waiter like they cook the steak before I before I complain, I

  434. mean I'm making adjustment. I let them know.

  435. I know you didn't cook this ma'am.

  436. I'm pretty sure you cook amazing steaks, but your friend?

  437. Can you guys adjust this? Deeply Reverent before God.

  438. Deeply reverent before God. Deeply reverend before God.

  439. Deeply reverend, deeply acknowledging, deeply grateful,

  440. deeply in awe. You're amazing, God.

  441. No, no, no, no. Part of it is not about him

  442. revealing himself. There's a part of it that you

  443. have to make him big. Oh man, I can't wait.

  444. We got a touch screen and I got to get it because you never look

  445. at your phone and if you want to see the details of something,

  446. see, Revelation is details that you can't see.

  447. Can I? Can I?

  448. Can I talk to you? Revelation is details you cannot

  449. see. So when you see something right,

  450. let's talk to the shoe people. You see a pair of shoes online?

  451. Don't tell me you ain't zoomed in to see them stitches on the

  452. rubber To see the what details. So you mean to tell me you

  453. didn't get revelation until you what?

  454. Magnified can I can I talk to somebody?

  455. That's why he say, oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us

  456. what exalt his name together? It is when I praise him that he

  457. begins to open himself up and show me the details.

  458. Come on, shout out. I need details.

  459. I need details. I like details.

  460. Some of y'all like these tails, but I like details.

  461. I'm I'm in. I'm in your bag today.

  462. I'm in your bag, you little nasty bag.

  463. Today I'm in your bag. Today, it's going to be a good

  464. day. Today was a good day for God.

  465. It's not an indifferent bystander.

  466. He's actively cleaning house, active.

  467. He's active, torching all that needs to burn.

  468. And he won't quit until it's all cleansed, until he gets you to

  469. who he created you to be. How you going to be mad at God?

  470. You don't. While I'm waiting.

  471. While I'm waiting, While I'm waiting.

  472. You're only getting stronger because he is burning stuff up.

  473. That's why I don't got time to just focus on other people's

  474. faults because I got too much that needs to be burned myself.

  475. And then when God presents me to the person I would like to

  476. change, then they have an example.

  477. Maybe stop asking your spouse, family for the fruit and you

  478. show them the process. See, see that's why I'm on this

  479. Instagram. It's a whole lot of people like

  480. don't show nobody what you do. Just one day you going to show

  481. up and you just going to be they going to be like wow and how

  482. stupid is that. So I'm like, some people like,

  483. why you? Why you, why you posting

  484. everything? First of all, I don't post

  485. everything, trust me. But how much better is it that a

  486. person sees that I slept in? I got the goal of five AMI let

  487. you in on that. But then I slept in till 7:30.

  488. But then I'm going to the gym and I'm like, look, I had to

  489. sleep in cuz I started to get a headache you can't see and that

  490. was me depriving myself asleep. Cuz we've been meeting every

  491. single night. So there's late nights,

  492. everybody that oh, the 4:00 AM club, the five eight.

  493. They go to sleep, date at 8:00 PM club too.

  494. So, so, so, so, so I got to give myself a break with some of

  495. y'all because what happens is if I can't do it at 5, I ain't

  496. going to do it until 5:00 the next day.

  497. First is understanding that I do have some things to do and rest

  498. is a requirement for nourishment, for strength, for

  499. clarity and detox in my mind. So I understand.

  500. I've had some late nights, so I give myself some grace and I'm

  501. going to let you in on it. Hey, it's a process.

  502. Slept in. But I'm back in the gym and

  503. normally I got to get 45 to an hour in a cardio, but it was a

  504. couple days. I didn't have time for 45.

  505. Do I not do it? No.

  506. Do 20, but do 20 hard 20 count. What you didn't do count as

  507. well, right? So 20 got me going down and yo,

  508. nothing got you going up. 20 got me going down and nothing got me

  509. going up. Now I'm just like, come on.

  510. I don't got no time. I don't got no time.

  511. I don't got no time. Some of y'all like man PTO one.

  512. This morning it's the Holy Ghost stop.

  513. And he won't quit until it's all cleansed.

  514. Look, God himself is fire. Fuck you See why I'm You'd be

  515. like BT don't want no God is in me.

  516. And He is what? Fire.

  517. Man, I go. God is love.

  518. You ready? God is love.

  519. God is love. God, God is love.

  520. This is very important. God is love and God is fire.

  521. So when you understand that you embrace his love, you embrace

  522. his fire, and you step in the Hebrews where he says he's

  523. always burning, the burn is not so.

  524. I could just do ministry. The fire in me is so I can be

  525. ministered to not always have a word for you.

  526. But the fire burns me in such a way that I can hear from the

  527. Holy Spirit or someone else and get a word that's going to

  528. challenge something that God is trying to get me to put on the

  529. altar. Praise you ready?

  530. You ready. Praise is for me.

  531. Now before that y'all going to give me logo.

  532. That's blasphemy. Praise is for the Lord, Worship

  533. is for him. Let me explain.

  534. This is very important for where we gonna go later.

  535. OK, so you know how a movie introduced something and don't

  536. get back to it till later. I'm kind of showing you the end

  537. of the movie right now. OK?

  538. Praise is for me. So, so, so it's very important

  539. that you understand why we do what we do here and why God has

  540. put this conviction and burden on me to come into this country.

  541. And just be be that because there is no reverence without a

  542. life of praise. You can praise God but not

  543. worship Him. Praise is for me, worship is for

  544. Him. Let me explain just briefly.

  545. Although praise is for me, it is not about me.

  546. That's the difference. Follow me.

  547. Psalm 100 say I'm going to keep it 104 Enter with the password.

  548. Who needs the password? Who needs the password?

  549. God ain't locked out. I need the password.

  550. But what is the password? Praise the password.

  551. Praise is for me, he said. Make yourself at home.

  552. Talk and praise. Thank him, worship him.

  553. TPT says you can pass through his open gates with password of

  554. praise again. Who the password for?

  555. So I saw him and say praise is what I do,

  556. I vow, I vow. To praise you.

  557. Hallelujah. All right, stop.

  558. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Praise break.

  559. OK, so he says come right into his presence with Thanksgiving.

  560. Come bring your thank offering to him and affectionately bring

  561. my praise. Is my offering, My praise is my

  562. offering. And bless his beautiful name.

  563. Praise comes from reverence. Worship comes from dependency.

  564. Do you depend on God? My praise should lead to

  565. reverence. I don't have to know Him to

  566. praise him, because he said my praise is simply my thank you.

  567. You ever been blessed by somebody you didn't know, but

  568. you said thank you. But to worship somebody, you got

  569. to know them. You got to depend on them,

  570. right? You can praise a car.

  571. I mean, that's fly. He didn't say don't praise

  572. something else. He actually said give credit to

  573. where credit is due, give honor. So I can say that's dope why I

  574. want them. I love that.

  575. But the moment I begin to worship it, it's idolatry.

  576. And now I Revere it, not him. So what I have to understand is

  577. that my praise, it's for me, it's a gift to me.

  578. Here's the part we missed. Here's the part we missed, he

  579. says. Come.

  580. Where? Where?

  581. Where did it go? Where did it go?

  582. Where did it go? Through his open gates, do you

  583. notice you have a praise offering?

  584. He left the door open. So I'm telling you.

  585. So when we we we when it comes to revelation you like what they

  586. jumping for. Why they do that and why this

  587. person is so far along to me we was have you walk through the

  588. door? Because everything you need it's

  589. not on the outer courts. It's at its feet.

  590. But how do we get there Praise. We give him our.

  591. What our? Praise.

  592. We give him our great What has softened my heart more than

  593. anything to be able to have authentic worship is my praise

  594. life, not my worship life. My willingness to give him a

  595. dance so freely, my willingness to say thank you, Hallelujah, my

  596. willingness for everything that has breath.

  597. Not just everything that breathes.

  598. Everything that carries his breath, give it back.

  599. And my willingness to give him back his life.

  600. He then gives me his. And we have this exchange for

  601. eternity. So when I'm at his feet, there's

  602. no condemnation. It's nothing but freedom.

  603. And he begins to reveal himself, reveal the details in his heart.

  604. It's the Abraham. Go, I'll show you.

  605. What did Abraham have to do? He had to go, or he had to

  606. praise. He had to take a step forward.

  607. He had to enter into the gates of the word.

  608. And as he went out of obedience and reverence, what happened?

  609. God. Began to reveal the details you

  610. like. God, how much this going to

  611. cost? Those are details.

  612. You going to send me help? That's details.

  613. What it's going to look like if I go and leave all this.

  614. That's details. You want the details?

  615. Start praising them right where your feet are.

  616. Praise carries you to details. Oh, where we going?

  617. I got to. My praise ignites.

  618. What does it have to do with the fire?

  619. My praise ignites a fire within that exposes and consumes.

  620. You see it like, I guarantee if you turn on Super Bowl pregame

  621. right now and they're showing players in locker rooms and fit

  622. in on the field, you're going to see players stirring themselves

  623. up. There's people that are nervous

  624. and scared to play in the Super Bowl, but the way they handle

  625. their jitters is they praise. They don't know if they going to

  626. get a concussion. They don't know if they going to

  627. be the next person that died on the field.

  628. They got all, they got grown millions when they are planning

  629. to have car accidents. But I'm not going to go into it

  630. without whoa, let's go boy. He's stirring himself up and

  631. probably 99% of them are injured.

  632. Do you see what praise gets you over so that you can see the

  633. other side? See, see, Not everybody is

  634. playing in this game today. Everybody that played the game

  635. is at home watching. Now some of y'all don't mind

  636. being at home today instead of being on the floor but This is

  637. why the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs got 4 Super

  638. Bowls. He didn't been to and in in the

  639. last what five years injured. Had a bad season Kelsey lowest

  640. reception yards in this year but where they at?

  641. They kept going, you know, the extra money that's waiting for

  642. you in the Super Bowl. You know the deals that come

  643. after the Super Bowl. You know if you go to another

  644. team what you can command because you got Super Bowl on

  645. your resume and you didn't even play but you hung around champs.

  646. You won a Super Bowl party. You talking about Tostitos and

  647. and and queso and and they they over there fasting and trimming

  648. themselves down and purging and go and cutting off social media

  649. so they can be in the game the whole world watching.

  650. How are they getting through this You think they all happy.

  651. You think they wives all happy. You think everything is perfect.

  652. You think they not injured. You don't think people

  653. hamstrings and like no, no, no, I'm not missing this.

  654. How they getting through it. They taking that shot, that

  655. praise, that epidural, they stretch and they getting

  656. treatment so they can do give themselves the best shot.

  657. At playing in the game. See, you know what Praise Dues

  658. does? It gets you the best shot to

  659. survive what's coming at you. Everybody in here will get hit

  660. one day. But the ones that praise God,

  661. you going to be oh, and then you going to get back up.

  662. Oh, you going to get back. Oh, you going oh, you going to

  663. get. You will not knock me down

  664. because praise is what I do now. When I'm in trouble.

  665. Praise is who I am. I'm going to give it to him all

  666. day. Secret recipe to a championship

  667. life is the fear of God. I'm about to skip heck of stuff,

  668. cuz for those that don't know what heck of stuff is, it's a

  669. lot of stuff. Because I really want to get to

  670. this one part. We we we see in Isaiah 11.

  671. We went through that where he talks about that that that that

  672. Jesus's delight in his body, his delight.

  673. Jesus's delight is in the reverential and obedient fear of

  674. the Lord, The reverential and obedient fear of the Lord.

  675. The fear of God always keeps me available to obey God.

  676. Some of us can't obey because we too tied down and it'll cost you

  677. too much. But that's your fault, not

  678. God's. You put a good thing in front of

  679. a God thing, and now God got to contend for the spot.

  680. He wanted to preserve for himself.

  681. The love, the power, and the character.

  682. And salvation of Jesus begins with the fog, the fear of God.

  683. Sorry, sorry. Teach me your way.

  684. Oh Lord, I will walk and live in your truth.

  685. Direct my heart to fear what? You see how a man after God's

  686. own heart is talking to God, he said.

  687. Direct my heart to fear. He didn't say direct me.

  688. To a, to a, to a. You know, I'm saying a baddie

  689. direct me to my dreams. He understood that his dreams

  690. and all his successes was connected to the fear of God.

  691. I could take down giants because I fear God.

  692. Look at look at what David did before he faced while Goliath

  693. was right there taunting them. He said you you're not messing

  694. with me. He saw himself in God.

  695. So he said when you mess with me, you messing with the creator

  696. of the heavens and the earth. He feared God so he didn't have

  697. to doubt when he was facing something bigger than him,

  698. because he feared the one that was bigger than everybody.

  699. Hallelujah. I direct my heart to fear Your

  700. name with all inspired, all inspired, all inspired reverence

  701. and submissive wonder. Continue to work, Philippians 2

  702. says to us. Continue to work out your

  703. salvation. Continue to work out your

  704. salvation. Continue to work out your

  705. salvation that is cultivated. Bring it to full effect.

  706. Actively pursue spiritual maturity with all inspired fear

  707. and trembling. The way I grow in my salvation

  708. and as being a believer is, I am in all inspired fear and

  709. trembling using serious caution. Not just living loose and

  710. living, however. Not not considering my decisions

  711. and trembling using serious caution and critical self

  712. evaluation. Not them evaluation to avoid

  713. anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ.

  714. Work out your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling

  715. self distrust. He didn't mean don't trust

  716. yourself, but he meant don't trust yourself.

  717. Stop thinking. No, no, no, no.

  718. The Bible says our hearts are the most deceitful of all who

  719. knows the heart. Only God, stop thinking, oh, I

  720. can get in love. We really love each other.

  721. Yeah, You feel it. I'd have been there.

  722. Done that. Yeah.

  723. You you. You can't make.

  724. You can't make destiny decisions on feelings.

  725. Truth of the matter is, will you still have the same commitment

  726. when the feelings are gone? No.

  727. We didn't had chances to walk away, go back home where it was

  728. comfortable and convenient but without a shadow of a doubt.

  729. I'm where I know I'm supposed to be.

  730. Nobody can shake. Nobody can move me.

  731. Nobody can make me doubt. Nobody.

  732. Nobody. I'm not looking around like God

  733. you. Really got us in a.

  734. Garage. Man, I love this garage.

  735. I'm going to miss this garage. He said timidly, timidly,

  736. shrinking from whatever might offend God.

  737. Right, And we move on. Fear of God, just real quick.

  738. Fear of God versus being afraid of God, right?

  739. He said he got we're talking about the fear of God.

  740. But then he says don't be afraid, right?

  741. He said don't be afraid, right? But the fear of God will draw

  742. you near to God. Being afraid of God will always

  743. draw you away from God, the Spirit of fear.

  744. Draws you away. It causes you and I to rebell

  745. from God. The fear of God leads to

  746. intimacy. The fear of God carries the

  747. fruits of repentance. The spirit of fear is terror,

  748. timidity, cowardice. It's always thinking of

  749. punishment. God's mad at me.

  750. It's got condemnation in it. But the fear of God has glory in

  751. it. The spirit of fear will always

  752. cause me to shrink back and feel threatened.

  753. Fear of God. The fear of God is the birth of

  754. all things good. It's what we see.

  755. Genesis 3, where God goes and look for Adam.

  756. He say where you at. He said I heard you in the

  757. garden and he says I was afraid versus Jesus.

  758. He in the garden, getting persecuted, sweating blood, and

  759. he says, not my will, yours. He's about to get murdered, and

  760. he draws to God. He.

  761. Said no, no, no, no. I'm not playing with your will.

  762. I am not trying to change your plans for my life.

  763. So before I do it, I better draw close to you.

  764. That's what he means. Don't trust yourself.

  765. No, no, no, no. You better trust God more than

  766. you trust yourself. I will give thanks and praise, O

  767. Lord my God with all my heart, and and and will glorify your

  768. name forevermore. For great is your loving

  769. kindness and graciousness toward me.

  770. Great is thy faithfulness right? Morning.

  771. And you have rescued my life. You have rescued my life.

  772. You've rescued my life. Well, I thank him every day,

  773. 'cause I'm not where I used to be.

  774. Every day he has rescued me. You not worse.

  775. Still in that revelation. I might be mad at you for a

  776. second, but wait a minute. I'm saved from you from the

  777. depths of Sheol, from death. His rescue of you should compel

  778. reverence from you. Saying 26 says at that time this

  779. song will be sung in the country of Judah, Country of praise.

  780. We have a strong city, Salvation city.

  781. Built and fortified with salvation.

  782. Throw wide, swing wide the gates so good and true people can

  783. enter. People with their minds set on

  784. you, people with their minds set on you.

  785. To Revere God is to have my mind set on him, he said.

  786. Those whose minds are set on you, you are committed to keep

  787. them completely whole. My wholeness in night is not in

  788. works. My wholeness is dependency on

  789. the worker, those whose minds they set on him.

  790. You make them whole. Not not PJPJ.

  791. No, my mind's set on her girl, but I don't depend on her to

  792. make me whole. My mind is set.

  793. On Serving Love Quest. But Love quest don't got

  794. wholeness for me. When my mind is set on him, he's

  795. committed to bringing wholeness into my life.

  796. He's the only one that can do that.

  797. Plant based can't do it The gym six days a week can't do it.

  798. YouTube videos on self help can't do it.

  799. You got to submit plant based to the Lord, you got to submit the

  800. gym to the Lord, and you got to submit you two to the Lord, and

  801. then you got to let him discern what diet you on.

  802. Depend on God. Keep at it, because in the Lord

  803. God you have a sure thing, oh God, a life focused and fixed

  804. and nurtured. This is reference, this is fear.

  805. Got a life focused and fixed and I can add set aside and nurtured

  806. by God. We see in John 4 where they go

  807. they get some food in the city and I can see the disciples

  808. already they was they was like hey girl I can see the disciple

  809. just in a demeanor and they attitude.

  810. They was in the city doing doing stuff.

  811. And then it was like somebody was like, we got to get back to

  812. Jesus. He ain't got nothing yet.

  813. You know what's crazy? They showed up from getting

  814. something to eat. I just got this, this, this

  815. revelation. They showed up from getting

  816. something to eat and asked him where your food at, Deborah?

  817. How they didn't have hospitality.

  818. You just went to the city. I'm out here witnessing the

  819. people and you like Jesus. You what you got?

  820. What you got to eat? What you mean you ain't ate?

  821. What you mean you ain't got no name?

  822. Jesus, you better turn that you you want me to bring you a lunch

  823. pail or something? You want me to bring you

  824. something you can turn anything into And, he said.

  825. They was puzzled, right? This fish and chips fire looks

  826. what Jesus said. The food that keeps me going is

  827. that I do the will of the fuck. That's what keeps me going.

  828. That's what keeps me from having to complain to you about how

  829. tough life is because I'm nourished, I'm nourished, my my

  830. food, my nourishment. Right.

  831. This is how the fast look some folks will mean we're going,

  832. we're going to. Eat this chicken.

  833. Chicken is still a part of the fast, just not this week.

  834. No, no, no. You're you're on it, but.

  835. What I'm saying is what people are saying is like I'm going to

  836. eat chicken 40 days. I'm.

  837. I'm eating chicken. I can't do this week.

  838. This week did The Veggie Tales. This can't do The Veggie Tales

  839. or the one who sent me look finishing the work.

  840. Which means I am committed to obedience, and out of my life of

  841. obedience, and the surrendered of my surrender of my heart I.

  842. And fulfilled. Do you know what?

  843. How much that takes care of. So if I have a bad day, but I've

  844. done the will of God, I count it all joy.

  845. If somebody walk out of my life and I'm doing the will of God, I

  846. count it all joy. If my body experience sickness,

  847. I might be sad. If I lose a loved one, I might

  848. be, but I think I can. Still I have a right to joy.

  849. Because I know this. I know that I've done what God

  850. has asked me to do. So I'd much rather have trouble

  851. in his will than trouble out his will.

  852. Write it down. I'd rather have trouble in the

  853. wheel than out the wheel. Some of y'all in the spirit

  854. realm. Wheels just wobbling just all

  855. out of line and just and you just like we just gonna hold the

  856. wheel. You your arms and you they over

  881. week. We can get you off weed this

  887. backache to keep the to keep the membership, You know what I

  888. mean? I'm just mad.

  889. I'm just mad. I lost my dad for some years

  890. because he was put in prison for just not selling weed and all of

  891. a sudden they delivering weed now.

  893. don't know what to call it, but y'all lucky blessed or

  894. something. But hot men, they need to let

  895. everybody out of prison. Who in prison for marijuana?

  896. But what I'm. I'm preaching right now, man.

  897. I'm from a place families have been broken up because somebody

  898. got caught with a ace of marijuana, and that was a third

  899. strike. You going to let all these

  900. crooks keep on making these decisions?

  901. All right. I got to make some headway.

  902. I got to make some headway. OK, come on.

  903. So he said we're going to shake it up.

  904. He said we're going to shake it up, shake it up, shake it up.

  905. OK, Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up, shake it up, shake

  906. it up. No, no, no, no, no.

  907. I'm not ready. I'm not ready.

  908. Stop. Thank you.

  909. That's my fault. That's my fault.

  910. That's my fault. That's my fault.

  911. That's just like the devil. He'll get you to do something.

  912. Be like, my bad, my bad. OK, all right.

  913. The Psalm of Psalm 8. OK, he say.

  914. Fasten me upon your heart as a seal of of of fire forevermore

  915. this living right. We saw my love and fire.

  916. We back there, right? We at the end of the movie.

  917. Now. Consuming Flame will seal you as

  918. my prisoner of love. Consuming Flame will seal you as

  919. my prisoner of love. My passion is stronger than than

  920. the chains of death and the grave I'm taking this scripture

  921. into this week. My passion is stronger than the

  922. chains of death. They're going to be so much

  923. passion in this room Monday through Friday that chains are

  924. going to have to fall off in Jesus name and the grave, right?

  925. All consuming as the very flashes of fire from the burning

  926. heart of God. You see how it's love and fire

  927. is safe when you when you agape. That's why when we fall in love,

  928. it's just like fire. Shut up in my phone.

  929. You can't do nothing you just like.

  930. I can't stop thinking about you right place, This fierce,

  931. unrelenting fire over your entire being.

  932. He's jealous of me. He is jealous of me.

  933. Don't do it. Don't do it.

  934. Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this.

  935. Flame. I'm not talking to somebody.

  936. Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this

  937. flame. Endless floods will be unable to

  938. quench this raging fire that burns within you.

  939. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you

  940. yield everything to this furious fire until it won't even seem to

  941. you like a sacrifice anymore. Can God ever get to a place

  942. where sacrificing is a rhythm? It's not a burden.

  943. It's not something that you like.

  944. Again, God, It's like I'm always laying my life down.

  945. It's a part of the rhythm of the Kingdom, right?

  946. When somebody lay something down, somebody is able to pick

  947. something up. Jesus laid his life down so we

  948. can get back up again. Can't stop, won't stop.

  949. I tried, right. I tried this fire to be on fire

  950. for God. We must carry the fear of God.

  951. We must find the flames of God in the fear of God.

  952. So here it is for you. People like why they so on fire

  953. for God? Because we fear God.

  954. You find the fear of God or you find the fear of God In the

  955. flames of God, in the flames of God, in the fear of God.

  956. It is no way to be on fire for something that you not afraid of

  957. or that you don't have reference for.

  958. I don't know, no great NBA player that don't love

  959. basketball. You got to love it to the point

  960. where you know the history and any great always has reverence

  961. for the ones that went before him.

  962. Let me tell you, God has went before us.

  963. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

  964. OK. And he says, woe is me.

  965. I'm undone and ruined. Say I'm undone.

  966. Jeremiah, 26 Now I'm a rush. Now I'm a rush.

  967. Don't. No music.

  968. No music. Because I only got much time.

  969. And you're going to get me stirred up.

  970. And there's about to become a time where we going to stir it

  971. up. OK, Not now, Caleb.

  972. Thank you. You push me into this.

  973. You you pushed me into this, God.

  974. You pushed me into this love question.

  975. You got me all the way out here to Canada and then told me it's

  976. going to be one thing and God, it bend up being another thing

  977. and I'll let you do it. You was too much for me.

  978. God, I couldn't hang on. I couldn't do it.

  979. So I surrender. And now I'm public joke.

  980. They they all poke fun at me every time I open my mouth.

  981. I'm shouting murder, rape. He's calling out justice or

  982. injustice. He's calling it out.

  983. He's coming into a town and he's saying this ain't the way it's

  984. supposed to be. And then he get people like some

  985. of Y'all looking at it. He like, Lord, I'm.

  986. I'm. I'm out here.

  987. I'm in a foreign land with a fire in my bones.

  988. You got me out here looking stupid.

  989. These people looking at me. You American.

  990. You. Wait, what you doing all that

  991. for? It don't take all that, but why

  992. y'all? Why y'all extending service?

  993. Why you so loud turn it down? Why y'all?

  994. Why y'all matching each other? What are all the colors for?

  995. What are y'all doing orange chairs where you guys are so

  996. much? I don't know why I keep coming

  997. back, but you guys are so much. And all I get for my God

  998. warnings are insults and contempt.

  999. And I just wrote this little thing.

  1000. All bets on God. All bets on Jehovah.

  1001. All bets on the one that made me the one that saved me.

  1002. The one that snatched. Me out of the grave.

  1003. All bets on God, but if I say forget it.

  1004. If I say forget it, no more God messages for me, but I ain't

  1005. about. To come up here talking about

  1006. praising God no more. Not about to come up here and

  1007. give these people all my passion every week.

  1088. All right, now you can finish. And God prospered.

  1089. Here we go. We about to praise God.

  1090. OK? And God prospered obed Edom.

  1091. And his entire household Obed Edom was carrying the ark in his

  1092. house. He had it in his house.

  1093. Because the Ark had been mishandled.

  1094. And somebody tried to create a new ark.

  1095. They tried to carry it a different way.

  1096. Other than what how God said it should be carried.

  1097. Let me tell you, it ain't no new, new, new way.

  1098. Ain't no new age, Ain't no new way.

  1099. Hear what I'm saying? We we, we.

  1100. It's the same foundation. You can't change how God laid

  1101. the foundation. Hear what I'm saying and and we.

  1102. What we got to do is look at David as the example of how

  1103. praise and worship should really look.

  1104. And what we've done is we've we've minored in the praise and

  1105. and and and and because praise is uncomfortable.

  1106. You go to the club. Everybody ain't dancing because

  1107. dancing is awkward for some people and clapping and some

  1108. people like the introverts we like to worship.

  1109. Is easy because you can sit there and just.

  1110. Think, oh his presence. And then so soon as some of

  1111. y'all hear pray, soon you get paralyzed like, whoa, maybe we

  1112. can turn it up that that color a little too close to mines.

  1113. OK, we need to turn that up. OK, now, now let me, let me help

  1114. some of y'all who talk about yourselves because you don't

  1115. like yourself. That is not.

  1116. I love my melanin. OK.

  1117. Can't wait till the summer come back so I can get JT chocolate.

  1118. I'm trying to get that Emmanuel tent up in here.

  1119. Amen. Hallelujah.

  1120. All right, Cacao. Cacao.

  1121. Hey, man. All right, let me read this and

  1122. stop goofing around, OK? And God prospered everybody to

  1123. eat them Habadoodles. OK, come on.

  1124. God going work it out. It was reported to King David.

  1125. So David out of he dropped the the ark off and he said let's go

  1126. keep it here until I get revelation of what God wants to

  1127. do next with it. So he gets word that the

  1128. presence of God in Obedidum's house is blessing.

  1129. Like like the blessing is on his house because the presence of

  1130. God that's in his house, there's there's nonstop worship.

  1131. Now this is crazy that we are the people that don't have to go

  1132. nowhere to experience his presence.

  1133. But here David had to go to Obed Edom's house in order to get in

  1134. God's presence, he says. It was reported Obed Edom's

  1135. entire household. See, wherever the presence of

  1136. God is blessing entire household because of the presence of God

  1137. or the chest of God. So David thought, I will, I will

  1138. get that blessing for myself. It's OK to get in when we praise

  1139. him. Praise is really in this moment

  1140. about you and God. So it's OK to be selfish in in

  1141. in about 10 minutes, about 5-7 minutes, you have a moment to be

  1142. selfish, he said. I'm going to get that blessing

  1143. for myself and and went and brought up the Chess of God from

  1144. the House of Obed Edom to the City of David, celebrating

  1145. extravagantly all the way. Celebrating how?

  1146. How? You ever been to anything

  1147. extravagant? What does it look like?

  1148. Extravagant. But, he said his praise.

  1149. Elder John was extravagant all. The way, Not one Sunday, Not

  1150. when I got paid, not when I got that new job.

  1151. All the way through the thick and the thin, through the storm

  1152. and the rain, through the good and the bad, through depression,

  1153. through joy all the way, my praise remain the same.

  1154. With frequent sacrifices of choice, bulls.

  1155. So my praise was extravagant and my offering was frequent.

  1156. David ceremonially. Dressed Oh, I forgot it I.

  1157. Was going to bring my. Colorful lol lol.

  1158. This is when I was going to put it on.

  1159. And I got, I got Russian. Amen.

  1160. Oh, well, now I'm Canadian. All right, come on.

  1161. Ceremony. Dressed in priestess linen dance

  1178. hands down. I'll put it this way.

  1179. If you went to the club, would you be the person on the dance

  1180. floor? Or would you be the person at

  1181. the dance floor but on the outer courts?

  1182. I'm saying but you. But you at least give them this

  1183. one though holding up the wall. Just you're doing your own

  1184. little thing. By yourself.

  1185. By yourself. Hey girl, you know you got hot

  1186. by yourself though, so you just kind of by yourself, right?

  1192. He danced with great abandoned The whole country was with him

  1193. as he. Accompanied the presence of God,

  1194. What the presence of God will attract.

  1195. With shouts and trumpet blasts. And that's what I'm saying.

  1197. Drill as it came from the bottom, I'm telling you.

  1198. Come on. Come on.

  1199. Caleb but as the presence of God came into the city of David, or

  1200. into the city of of of Wally, or into the City of Love Quest.

  1201. Michelle, or however you want to say it, Mikel Saul's daughter

  1202. happened to be looking out the window.

  1203. This is David's little little little piece.

  1204. You ready? When she saw King David leaping

  1205. and dancing, what was he doing? Giving God extravagant praise.

  1206. Before God, her heart was filled with scorn.

  1273. Hey, don't, don't. Mess with my praise.

  1274. Anybody blessed by today? Wow.

  1275. I'll get to tonight what we skipped over.

  1276. But I just had a couple things to tell you really quickly.

  1277. The tent revival is this week. And what that simply means is if

  1278. you didn't come any other night, I'm asking you to make it this

  1279. week. And if you can make every night,

  1280. that would be worth your sacrifice.

  1281. Listen, we rarely will meet every single day, but at the top

  1282. of the year, we want to make a sacrifice To take the Lord with

  1283. Lord. We want to fix our mind on you.

  1284. We got 365 days. Here's the 1st 40.

  1285. OK. Whatever it is this week, so you

  1286. know what this means. There's a lot of people crying

  1287. out for revival. What does that look like where

  1288. the fear of the Lord is? There's freedom.

  1289. Right. What I can say if I wasn't the

  1290. pastor, this church, this is a very hungry and thirsty house

  1291. and there's been people here every single night for you.

  1292. Not just for them, but for you. Now, if you're not expecting

  1293. nothing, man, keep going on with your life.

  1294. Or if you feel like you got your own power community, whatever,

  1295. that's totally fine. What I'm saying is stop crying

  1296. out for revival and when you find it.

  1297. Then you want to say if it. Is or it ain't?

  1298. What is revival? It's not just merely the

  1299. presence of God. Like it's not just that the

  1300. other side of it is, is we're hungry and thirsty people are

  1301. pursuing God with reckless, abandoned.

  1302. So for five days straight we will be here.

  1303. OK, we meet at 6:30, and this is the week.

  1304. So we gave our, our community, our, especially our leaders 35

  1305. days to get their self free. We've been under the hood for 35

  1306. days. So this this week coming they

  1307. can serve the people and we going to get under some other

  1308. hoods. OK, but they don't mean you

  1309. should have been here last year. They'll be down here at some

  1310. point too. Maybe, I don't know.

  1311. But what are we believing for this week?

  1312. Bring some demons up in here. They getting castle.

  1313. Where's the church at? Where's the church?

  1314. People are looking for freedom Vancouver.

  1315. And so we know. The one that can set you free.

  1316. Indeed. So what?

  1317. We're believing. Have you ever experienced

  1318. demonic oppression? You've been dealing with with

  1319. crazy nightmares. You've been dealing with mental

  1320. illness. You've been dealing with some

  1321. level of sickness. Are you done?

  1322. Are you tired? You know, friends.

  1323. Who? You the ones you've been calling

  1324. crazy for a long time. Jesus deal with crazy way better

  1325. than you can. You can't drive Jesus crazy.

  1326. So this week we are believing for freedom.

  1327. We're believing and. And let me tell you, revival is

  1328. not merely about legs growing and blind eyes opening.

  1329. If you encounter the love and the peace of God, and you walk

  1330. away from here with a radically changed heart, that's as good a

  1331. revival as you need. Revival is about God visiting

  1332. his people, and they take him up, he take them up, and he

  1333. lives with you forever and he changes your heart.

  1334. Revival is about him giving you a heart of flesh.

  1335. It's more about a heart transplant than a new leg

  1336. because there's a whole lot of healthy people with really bad

  1337. hearts. So what I'm telling you is this

  1338. week, are you hungry and thirsty?

  1339. Lay something down and get here. This place is going to be full.

  1340. It's going to be packed. We got extra heaters for the

  1341. tent and all that stuff, so we will make you warm.

  1342. We ain't got no food for you. OK, We got tea and water.

  1343. That's it. OK, so we'll be here this week

  1344. and then prayer Saturdays. We're opening our hub in

  1345. Vancouver. So I know the.

  1346. Only reason that people have not come to prayer in from Vancouver

  1347. is because it's not in Vancouver.

  1348. I know all my Vancouver people will come to prayer if it was

  1349. closer. So we went out and got a whole

  1350. like building just for Vancouver people to come to prayer.

  1351. Now I'm just playing, but we will have a super dope space

  1352. that we are opening up and we'll have more vision for that on a

  1353. week to week basis. But Tuesday nights we are going

  1354. to to start what we call Triumph Tuesdays.

  1355. It will be a midweek experience for creatives and entrepreneurs.

  1356. Anybody can come, but if you want to be poured into as a

  1357. businessman and woman or creative, this will be catered

  1358. towards you. Starting on February 20th, we

  1359. have our Kings and Priests vision.

  1360. And then? Prayer will be in the Hub every

  1361. Saturday at 10:00 AM. OK, so we know the Vancouver

  1362. people with the hustle and bustle city life.

  1363. You like to sleep in a little bit on your Saturdays after you

  1364. get your latte or your, you know, your Magnum Culotti or

  1365. whatever it is. And then and then Wednesday

  1366. nights start back up here went wonder Wednesdays.

  1367. And then we want to make sure that you come to our multi

  1368. conference. I want to introduce to you our

  1369. guest speaker all the way from North Carolina.

  1370. Her name. She's not here today but her

  1371. name is Natalie Runyon. Amen.

  1372. Some of you, some of you do not know her, but she is doing

  1373. really big global things right now.

  1374. So go follow. Her.

  1375. Go go comment on anything that she does and say.

  1376. Can't wait to see you at Lovequest.

  1377. She is coming and she will wreck you.

  1378. But when you go check out what she does, I am telling you, she

  1379. is a straight shooter. She does not play.

  1380. She keeps it real. She's on fire for the Lord and

  1381. she is going to challenge the body of Christ and that's it,

  1382. man. I don't got nothing.

  1383. I got a lot of stuff to say, but put your hand on your your

  1384. neighbor's shoulder. If they let you, if they still

  1385. got an attitude, you probably should not be friends with them.

  1386. They're a Hallelujah. OK, now here's a test for you.

  1387. When does the week, when does the week of revival start?

  1388. Tonight. Right, Right now.

  1392. Sorry for the the fast friendly food, but not sorry.

  1393. It's very good. It's an alternative for health

  1394. and so we love you guys. Now I want you to pray for your

  1395. neighbor and the challenge is I want you to pray for them for 10

  1396. seconds. Now for those that that say how

  1397. can you pray in 10 seconds, That's because you like to pray

  1398. long prayers. OK, you can pray for 10 seconds

  1399. because you are going to have a word as I'm talking, there's

  1400. something. You're going to declare.

  1401. Over their lives. It's something you're going to

  1402. declare. Over their lives.

  1403. That was spoken today. It could be simple.

  1404. Lord, I thank you for strength, courage and boldness in their

  1405. life. That's a three seconds.

  1406. So you got 7 more seconds or you say, Lord set a fire down in

  1407. their soul that they can't contain.

  1408. You can sing a song to them that they can't control.

  1409. OK, we got 10 seconds. And after 10 seconds, that's it.
