  7. can you hear me?

  8. Yeah?

  9. Yeah, Father, can you hear me? And my subtitle is

  10. I've heard your cry? But are you hearing my voice?

  11. But have you heard my voice?

  12. When it? Get it right? I'm a little country sometimes,

  13. and so I'm coming from the Book of I'm coming

  14. from the Book.

  15. Of Song, Chapter thirteen, one and three.

  16. Father, Say can you hear me?

  17. Papa?

  18. Can you hear me?

  19. Shit?

  20. Enough?

  21. Okay?

  22. And so David says, how long, oh Lord, will you.

  23. Forget me forever? This is a human us?

  24. How long will you hide your face from me? How

  25. long must be? How long must.

  26. I wrestle with my thoughts and every day.

  27. Have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy

  28. tremble over me? Look on me and answer, Oh Lord,

  29. my God, give light to my eyes, or I will

  30. sleep and death.

  31. And so I'm gonna work that and I'm gonna read

  32. a little further down here in a little bit, but.

  33. I'm gonna pray. Really, Father, we thank you for right

  34. this is when you play something. Father. We thank you

  35. for this day.

  36. We thank you for this opportunity to be able to

  37. break bread with your people.

  38. Lord God, let me say something that would change somebody's life.

  39. Let me change something.

  40. Let me say something that will change somebody's thinking.

  41. Father God, let me say something so they understand. Father,

  42. you hear their prayers. And so this is my prayers

  43. up his name. Amen. Okay, they left me.

  44. I'm gonna work, and he got here we go, and

  45. so I'm gonna start right here.

  46. Here.

  47. For the last few months, I've had the opportunity of

  48. being a part of the.

  49. Brotherhood Prayer Line. The Brotherhood Prayer Line is a morning

  50. call where all.

  51. Of the brothers from this church and from a few

  52. other churches that we fellowship with, we come together, We talk,

  53. we pray, and we knew devotion every single day.

  54. Every every day. I think, I think oversee. You called

  55. me yesterday. It was early. He was early, he said, man.

  56. I said, hey, I was in TJ gag. He said, Amen,

  57. I was.

  58. I was just trying to call you missed the prayer

  59. line because you I'm Monday through Friday.

  60. That looked like my schedule. And I said, man, you

  61. pay attention to detail. I see, and it's crazy you

  62. call me because I already had this in the works.

  63. And so I said, okay, anformation once again.

  64. And so with me being up on the prayer line,

  65. what I've understood is I got connected with that group

  66. with the prayer line because a few preachers.

  67. A few teachers and a few leaders gave wise guidance

  68. by saying.

  69. Don't do ministry alone, don't walk this walk alone, don't

  70. fight your own battles alone, don't carry if your burdens alone,

  71. don't fight your life's challenges alone, and most of all,

  72. don't prow and.

  73. Say it alone. Wow. And so with that being said,

  74. I understood, no matter who you are, what your titles.

  75. Are, what your degrees are, what your advantages are, what

  76. your education is, what your qualifications you have, what rewards accomplishments,

  77. what your status is, your successes minister right, your ministry experiences,

  78. your gift and talents, your ministry wrote, and also your

  79. biblical teachings, your spiritual development or what kingdom impact we

  80. have made.

  81. Sometimes this stuff really don't even matter. It's because God

  82. is not measuring us by any of that.

  83. To be quite honest, in issue, he's looking at our heart.

  84. He's looking at our heart.

  85. He's looking at our heart to see if you can

  86. see all obedience. He's looking at our heart to see

  87. if you can see our characters. He's looking at our

  88. heart to see if you can see our faithfulness.

  89. He's looking at our heart to see if you can

  90. see our willingness to follow him.

  91. And most of all, he's at our heart to see

  92. if our relationship.

  93. Is right with him.

  94. And So when I thought about that, and I said that,

  95. and I said, man, you came to mind oversee, it

  96. was kind of like, what is it to have all

  97. of these qualifications, all of these degrees and.

  98. All of these things. If I don't know God, Oh.

  99. God, what is the boy? What?

  100. What you know? What it's like?

  101. And I heard, I heard the scripture.

  102. I heard them preaching before they're gonna get me, Precia,

  103. here we go Matthew.

  104. Sixteen to twenty six. It's this, It is worthless to

  105. have the whole world if you're gonna lose your home.

  106. So, brothers and sisters, I understand now. We were never

  107. meant to walk this journey of faith alone. We weren't

  108. mental walk this faith this journey alone because God created

  109. us to throw worship and served together.

  110. To says we should not be. We should not be, We.

  111. Shall not isolate ourselves from the Body of Christ because

  112. we are stronger when we are connected together. We are

  113. better together, serve better together, and become stronger again.

  114. And we need people to celebrate with us and staying

  115. with us in our struggles. And this is right here.

  116. I thought about y'all. I thought about the elders of

  117. the church right here.

  118. We need to be around people who can hold us accountable,

  119. challenge us, support us, correct us, sharpen us, and then

  120. carriage us along the weather.

  121. Are y'all in the house to they We may to

  122. be around people who can hold us.

  123. Accountable, challenge us, support us, correct us, sharpen us, and.

  124. Encourage us along the way.

  125. Right there, when I was putting that down, I said, man,

  126. this beap right here.

  127. I listened.

  128. My father in law already put one of y'all in

  129. the headlocked right now because you're not doing what it

  130. is that God has told you to do.

  131. He probably not. That was his wife head lock dohnny

  132. my bad.

  133. Well, but listen, I thought about it even the more.

  134. And I remember when it was COVID and we was

  135. in the house.

  136. And it was ten of us, you remember them, the

  137. ten of us in there.

  138. And y'all was in a parking lot hunking that all

  139. by man man, and it was still like, we still

  140. got together. This kids gotta come together. And the Bible

  141. says in the Book of Hebrews, chapter ten, y'all gotta

  142. write that.

  143. Now I'm gonna say that, yeah, yeah, yeah, we.

  144. Gotta write that down in the book and Hebrews chapter ten.

  145. This was verse twenty four and twenty five.

  146. Let us consider one another in order to.

  147. Stir up love and good book not mistaken the.

  148. Simply of others together. In other words and other words, God.

  149. Want us to encurriage one another.

  150. Help each other, row in faith, and stay connected to

  151. the Church and our not just these church walls.

  152. Listen not to we are a church magazine. That's the

  153. blood we coming back. But listen, we are the church.

  154. We gotta stay connection to the church is I'm azaki

  155. you are a church medica system. Whinister Wizards of Law

  156. you want a church back on the back road.

  157. You are a church. Cany y'all say that when we

  158. are to church.

  159. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

  160. And so we need each other, so we shouldn't stop

  161. gathering together.

  162. And so the message in.

  163. Hebrews is very clear, Brother Toller, stop trying to do

  164. what God.

  165. Created us to do together by yourself. Look, I said

  166. that my man. Somebody else should have put that.

  167. Man right there.

  168. Stop trying to do what God created us to do together.

  169. We will never design. We will never design. We were

  170. never created to do this a loon.

  171. It's an applying example. Why my son said, Danny, but

  172. if you don't preach, you gonna play. I said, man,

  173. I don't know. Well, I gotta train them because I

  174. was never I'm not gonna preach and place. I'm not

  175. gonna speak your place. I'm not. I can't do all

  176. of these things by myself.

  177. But this, we are not designed or created to do

  178. this the law, and so God places people around us

  179. to challenge us, strengthen us, and help us.

  180. Become who we are called to be.

  181. Do you believe that you believe that right now.

  182. Together we can together? We can so over time, me

  183. being connected to the prayer line. What I found out

  184. we go over time, me being connected to the prayer line.

  185. The more I called in, the more.

  186. And more I realized how familiar we are with each other.

  187. Familiar meaning well.

  188. Known, easily recognized, and closely acquainted.

  189. That's on the prayer line.

  190. We can't see each other facing, but we still are

  191. very familiar.

  192. With each other. We're well known, easily recognized.

  193. And closely acquainted. And so a few things that I admire.

  194. About our prayer life about I said, prayer What I

  195. admire about it is.

  196. The consistency of this brother And I just told y'all

  197. oversee your car and try to feel with you. Hey,

  198. wake up, man, you know what I'm saying. I know

  199. you get up early, but wake up. It comes to

  200. this prayer line, you know. So they are very consistent

  201. with the prayer line. Yeah, yeah, you're very consistent. And

  202. one of the things that I know, I know, my

  203. wife knows, I'm not really great.

  204. With names all the time.

  205. I know all them brothers names on there too. I

  206. know all their names. And one of the other things

  207. that I know is ain't hot, that's humble, open and transparent.

  208. And so they are humble.

  209. They are honest some sorry, honest, open and transparent. They're

  210. humble too.

  211. But one of the things that I can appreciate being

  212. around those men because my father wasn't always there in

  213. my life. My father wasn't there, and that's all right.

  214. I have my grandfather rest and soul. But I appreciate

  215. how vulnerable these brothers are on the prayer line too.

  216. The way that they opened up to each other.

  217. I'm like, man, I can if they can open up

  218. and stay some things.

  219. Like that, man, I ain't got no choice but to

  220. pull onto my son like that. Like, man, listen, they

  221. ain't dealing with some things on this bread line, and

  222. I see that I'm not going to when that's dealing

  223. with certain things. They's so vulnerable, so real on the

  224. prayer line. And I'm talking about this earlier in the morning.

  225. You know what I'm saying that the way to get

  226. your day started right, it's.

  227. Always in your cut.

  228. And also, hope they.

  229. Don't run it back.

  230. I don't even know.

  231. Where that came from.

  232. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And so I can appreciate how.

  233. Vulnerable they are.

  234. And then one other thing, the love they have for

  235. each other is strong.

  236. Is strong. Lady little more is strong.

  237. It's so strong that I've come to love them just

  238. white brothers, even though they quite a bit older than me.

  239. I love them white brothers.

  240. And so, like I said previously, one of the things

  241. that you notice about I said, the prayer line.

  242. There's a phone call. We can't see each other's faces.

  243. We can't see each other's.

  244. Faces, y'all remember this fort right here. We can't see

  245. each other's faces, but I definitely can hear their voices.

  246. I can hear their voices. Do you hear what I'm saying,

  247. because now, y'all, I'm gonna.

  248. Work the leader. I'm a musician. It's something about that sound.

  249. It's something about that sound when when they've given their testimonies.

  250. It's talking about that sound when we're talking about faith.

  251. It's something about that sound when they praying. It's something

  252. about that town. When I hear somebody really praying and

  253. giving God thy all in that moment. Really, and I'm

  254. talking about it early in the morning.

  255. What she's doing up that.

  256. Early praying like that, my brother, I'm talking about you know,

  257. I'm hearing God early in the morning.

  258. I'm talking about This is the prayer line.

  259. And this is one of the things that I know

  260. for sure.

  261. It's because we are so familiar with each other, brother

  262. saming we know for a.

  263. Fact who's not on the line.

  264. Why is this most of the time. Most of the

  265. time we know exactly who it is.

  266. Because we can't hear their voices. We can't hear their voices.

  267. They their voices are very distinct.

  268. Wonper you get on there, you.

  269. Hear that, you call it, you put the number in,

  270. it's gonna say, well, welcome to the.

  271. Blah blah blah blah blah. You put the number in,

  272. and then it's a.

  273. Little deep that go through there, and then you they

  274. all just say good morning. And when one one person

  275. come in for the seven, be like man, good morning,

  276. and he said the seven good morning.

  277. Over to see him.

  278. Yet on the.

  279. Line, well good morning.

  280. We know exactly who it is because we recognize our

  281. voice off the note real quick?

  282. Does God recognize nor voice when you call?

  283. How old do you call? Walk the week?

  284. Every y'all I need you Lord, every yell that.

  285. No listen, does God recognize for you even call? And

  286. so useally on the call. We got oversee you, brother

  287. Sammy for the price.

  288. We got uh brother Wimberley, got brother Tim.

  289. Y'all know, he always asked the questions, bail, let me

  290. ask you like it was this morning, you you know,

  291. all of a sudden I was in the background.

  292. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Brother Blond, just the name a few

  293. and then those are the ones that I see on

  294. the weekly basis, and so it's kind of like, yeah,

  295. you know, I know their voices or whatever. But then

  296. we also got.

  297. Like Apostle Kob. We got Pastor Mike Mike. They called

  298. him Pastor Mike Mike. That's his brother.

  299. It's supposed to be Mike Mike, but they called him

  300. Pastor Mike Mike.

  301. So I'm so familiar with them, I call him Mike

  302. Mike anyway. So they speaking it into his listen, so

  303. I'm like, I'm calling right along with them.

  304. And then we also got Minister le chairs Phillis Lee.

  305. Y'all know, Sheryl ain't Sherry husband.

  306. You don't mean get on the line, be trying to

  307. check us off? Hey man, what you lay vote?

  308. Hey man?

  309. If you wasn't get in the background votes, you ought

  310. to say good morning or something like.

  311. That, you know. And so that's that's just up on

  312. their prayer line. And we also got a super superintendent Dickerson.

  313. And the the thing is that those individuals, because.

  314. They come to this house, I recognize their voice.

  315. We trust him.

  316. We trust him here in the house, we listen. We

  317. let him stand right you let him stand right here

  318. and preaching feet us. And so why not trust him

  319. right there? Oh yeah, we be having Sister loved all

  320. the line.

  321. She'd be eavesdropping, but never mind, and she says she

  322. don't mean dropping, but never mind. But to the point

  323. I'm trying to make overall, not trying to introduce everybody

  324. to be on there. But one of the things, there

  325. is one brother. I've never met him before. I don't

  326. think I have. I've never seen his face before. Like

  327. if I see him in public, I wouldn't know who

  328. he is. But if he faced something, if he's face something,

  329. I'm like, oh no.

  330. No, no, that's brother Elder Pastor Irving right there, that's

  331. doctor Irvin right now.

  332. And the thing is about it, I didn't I don't

  333. have to see his face. He don't have to personally,

  334. you know.

  335. He don't.

  336. I don't have to see any pencils. But there's something

  337. about the sound that he makes when he speaks.

  338. I know when somebody says something deep, when he say

  339. that's good right there, I'm trying to tell you, he

  340. will tell you that's good right there.

  341. And so I.

  342. Promise I don't have to see his face. But one

  343. of the things that I.

  344. Know that I personally know his voice.

  345. And so when I find unique about your voice, what

  346. I find so unique about your voice, What I find

  347. unique about your.

  348. Voice is that it reveals things that your face can

  349. will and could hide. They didn't hear me, They didn't

  350. hear me.

  351. Where is so unique about your voice?

  352. It reveals things that your face can will and could hide.

  353. Y'all needs to speak saying y'all okay, okay.

  354. They gonna make you work to say okay. So I

  355. smile can hide pain. The faith says I'm okay, but

  356. your voice says I'm tied. Your title says your titles.

  357. Your titles be talking about those titles right now.

  358. I'm struggling, that's what That's what you know. I'm sorry,

  359. I'm reading here. Our titles can hide that are struggles.

  360. I'm sorry. Our titles can hide our.

  361. Struggles, but our faces are saying I'm strong, but our

  362. voices are saying I really need some help.

  363. Can hide brokenness. Our face is saying I made Our voice.

  364. Is saying I'm fairly Maybe our reputation, y'all see me

  365. on Facebook, I'll be smiling on ere. Yeah, y'all think

  366. y'all that reputation that can hide the reality behind my life.

  367. My faith. My face can faith I have faith. But

  368. my voice might be saying I'm wrestling with that. But

  369. the day is right here. But I'm understand as wall.

  370. A position can hide a need, A high position can

  371. hide a kneed. Your face is staying I'm here for everybody.

  372. I'm here for everybody. But in the background, my voice

  373. is saying, I really need somebody here with me.

  374. I need somebody with you that time to be in.

  375. The house with this man. But I heard your testimony.

  376. I heard your testimony, and so yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

  377. And so you don't have.

  378. To see someone to know something that's going on.

  379. And I know for a fact when my phone ring,

  380. that phone call ring, and.

  381. That live live me with that phone ring, and I

  382. asked them with certain individuals.

  383. Called the first thing I say, I tried my bestins

  384. sound like your pastors, like you.

  385. Know what you think you're gonna call my.

  386. Phone and say it like that, you think you man,

  387. Come on.

  388. Man, like you know what I'm saying. I think it

  389. was one.

  390. Time one time one of the brothers called in.

  391. We know, yeah, yeah, y'all, I wasn't he go into

  392. the pread line and I can just imagine and now

  393. I gotta be a act like father in love the

  394. Hugh if he was laying and.

  395. Being like listen, the pastors started.

  396. Talking to him, he said, man, what's rowing to And

  397. then you're your unbelief uncle, minister league.

  398. Man, you better get up for your staff.

  399. Man, come on, And so when we all you don't

  400. remember that all yeah, yeah, we know your voices and

  401. so you can't tell me.

  402. You can come and tell me that you all good.

  403. But we can hear it in your water. We can

  404. hear it in your voice and something is wrong with you.

  405. And matter of fact, when you take my hand.

  406. When you come.

  407. When I see certain individuals, it's kind of like, man,

  408. listen to prayer for you. And some of y'all might

  409. not even believe that we praying, but trust the belieue

  410. on prayers for your matter of fact, sometimes I even

  411. shoot our text messages.

  412. Yeah, yeah, said, I was trying to get that suit

  413. your text message just because for one be here together

  414. and we a team. And so it's my duty forget

  415. forgetting the title. It's my duty to say in we

  416. a community and start.

  417. You don't let me see uh here we go right here.

  418. You don't have to see someone to know something is

  419. going on. But the voice always revealed their heart. Your

  420. voice always reveals your feelings. Your voice always feels your emotions.

  421. Your voice always.

  422. Reveals what's going on in your mind. Your voice always

  423. lets you know that you that you're struggling. Your voice,

  424. it always lets us know that you're skilled or something.

  425. Your voice always lets us know that you got fa,

  426. that you got faith. Your voice lets us know that

  427. you being in with Paine.

  428. Your voice, your voice, your voice, I'm talking about your voice.

  430. Your voice is showing us your characters. Your voice is

  431. suring your mother and guess what.

  432. Your voice is showing us your relationship with God.

  433. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  438. fly with you or whatever, and you shunna send us

  439. a message back and say, I gotta get myself together

  440. before we come to church. Man. Look, that's you know

  441. what I'm saying. This is the hospital. This is the

  442. place that we're supposed to be. So you in isolation.

  443. You in isolation.

  444. Sure, sure you can deal with those problems yourself. But

  445. now would you want to deal with all of those

  446. problems yourself. You should come to the house. You can

  447. come to the house where people like us believe you.

  448. Just come to the house.

  449. Let my sister out prays for you. That's let us

  450. be wive it. Listen to me to pray for you.

  451. You know what I'm saying. This is the house of prayer.

  452. You know what I'm saying.

  453. Let co pass and pray for you. Let somebody pray

  454. for your touch and degree. But this is my question

  455. right here.

  456. The question is what's that question? Thank yourself for asking.

  457. That's why you sound like on the prayer line again.

  458. What does God hear when you were speaking? What does

  459. God hear when you were speaking? In the book over here,

  460. when I was speaking, David said.

  461. How long?

  462. How long? Lord, How long? Lord, will you forgive me forever?

  463. I'm he talking to our guy like that? You know

  464. what I'm saying?

  465. He like you know what I'm saying? How long?

  466. Yeah? This seller is hurt. It's so wrong, brother man,

  467. you know what I'm saying?

  468. How long?

  469. When you hide your face from me? This was this

  470. right here. I asked that question because David uh wasn't

  471. just asking God, do you see me?

  472. He was asking God? Do you hear this?

  473. He was asking do you hear me? Father? Can you

  474. hear me? David teaches us when he.

  475. Couldn't see God's face, He's still lifted his voice when

  476. he could not see God's face, He's still lifted his voice.

  477. Me, y'all a catch it at a minute that you

  478. know what, y'all catch it in a minute. When you

  479. can't see God's face, you see up, you still gotta

  480. lift your voice up. You still gotta put his guard

  481. and with listen right here, when.

  482. He couldn't understand while God was signing, because.

  483. I said I didn't. I didn't have that problem before.

  484. Listen.

  485. When he couldn't understand why God was silent, he kept

  486. on praying, He kept on talking, He kept on stinging.

  487. He kept on prayer. This is the point that I

  488. got in all camps. He kept on showing up, y'all sleep, He.

  489. Kept on showing up. And then anybody that's gonna.

  490. Keep on showing up?

  491. Whoa that ship right now? Anybody this is gonna keep

  492. on showing up. Anybody going keep on showing up.

  493. Anybody go keeple showing up.

  494. You a was showing up right now? It won't there.

  495. I'm praying at my son, I'm training my plain, I'm

  496. training all of these things.

  497. I'm gonna keep all showing up. But my relationship with y'all,

  498. it's not killed. Seeing his hands Bill, trusting his promise,

  499. trusting his person, trusting his faithfulness, and trusting that he

  500. is going to dous when he's saying he would.

  501. Do you are you not? Can you trusting I'm gonna

  502. do it? What he said? I said you want that,

  503. I even said you want that out He will do it.

  504. You gotta trust it God. But bet you want to

  505. open your mouth. You're an old.

  506. God's God's silence does not change who he is. Let

  507. me repeat that back, because all was still shouting. God's

  508. silence does not change who he is.

  509. Tell your neighbor. That right here, Let it's your neighbor.

  510. God's silence does not change who he is right here,

  511. right there.

  512. He's still gone, He's still God. He decided does not

  513. mean he's asking.

  514. That doesn't mean that he's not.

  515. Gonna sow up. I remember the whole sense of faith.

  516. He may not come, but it's always all the time,

  517. and I be trust and believe that on today.

  518. Do you believe that on today? Yeah?

  519. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm talking about those other face. I

  520. think the old the saints come when we're talking about Father.

  521. Can't you hear me? The old?

  522. The sensual saith?

  523. Lord God, whatever you do, don't stop talking to me,

  524. Lord God, whatever you do, don't let mine.

  525. Don't let your voice become unfamiliar to me.

  526. Whatever you do, Lord God, don't.

  527. Let my spircumstance make me question your presence.

  528. Whatever you do, Lord God, don't let.

  529. My mistakes make me believe you stop calling my name.

  530. Does anybody that anybody come cloud your pride? Do you

  531. mean that right now? Yeah?

  532. You ain't?

  533. Here you go.

  534. Davie was praying. This was a prayer. God is not offended.

  535. This is going to be very carefully though. God is

  536. not offended when we asked questions and he David was

  537. asking questions right here, Lord, how long you know what

  538. I'm saying? He was asking questions.

  539. God is not offended by your tears, knowing your frustrations,

  540. knowing your disappointments, knowing your fears.

  541. I found that in the Book of Songs thirty four

  542. and eighteen. The Lord is near the broken heart right here.

  543. Josh is not offended when we admit we can't do

  544. something that is taking Corinthians, Chapter twelve, verse five.

  545. My grace is episti from my power. It is made

  546. perfect in weakness.

  547. God is not offended.

  548. When we being honest in prayer? Is anybody honest when break?

  549. Is anybody honest when he's breaks?

  550. Lord, God, all of life? Right here, Lord God, this

  551. is uncomforable to me.

  552. Look now, I'm familiar, say Cord Brother Bruck. This feels

  553. kind of strange.

  554. Glad, I'm I'm comfortable.

  555. This is the type place walk that anybody honest when

  556. they broke.

  557. He would break up, he would live up.

  558. Listen to what I'm saying right now, he would rather

  559. he's surprise of a.

  560. Broken heart than the silence of our heart.

  561. They're just walking away.

  562. You would have lived.

  563. Yeah, the cry of a broken heart person, the silence

  564. of somebody walking away. I'll see you walking, walking out,

  565. walking away. Listen, I'm looking all this. He's right in there,

  566. something walking away. We need to make some pop pop.

  567. They get there making out, but I don't open the

  568. walk away. Don't give up God, because you walk give up?

  569. He is Abel, Oh God.

  570. David cried out. David cried out. David cried out, and

  571. I'm gonna talk about that even tomorrow.

  572. David cried out, and this him being realized with him

  573. crying out. Sometimes life hurts so much that we can

  574. all we can say is Father, Can you hear me?

  575. Palla? Are you hearing me?

  576. Father?

  577. Are you there? Father? Are you gonna show up for

  578. me this time? Holler?

  579. I don't know it.

  580. Come on, Mather, I mean, are you answering when I call?

  581. Can you hear this?

  582. Tyler?

  583. Let me just let me turn this up a little bit. Father,

  584. From where are you?

  585. I think that's what we say sometimes in the world,

  586. and it may not be you, but I'm no far

  587. a man.

  588. Has any me, but's curtains circumstance that come to test me.

  589. Lord an are you dead. Listen, listen Now I'm gonna musician.

  590. You gotta say of me these people I'm talking like that.

  591. You know what I'm saying.

  592. It's gonna. God invites us to bring him all pay.

  593. God invites us to bring me on my tears. God

  594. invites us to bring off us gracious. God invites us

  595. to bring our disappointments. God invites us to bring off here.

  596. God invites us.

  597. To breathe on saying God, and.

  598. Invite us to bleeve I said.

  599. God invites us to bring oh a lot of issues,

  600. Oh alright issues?

  601. Oh al what mean mentally?

  602. Immotional?

  603. God? Oh you hope back your here? This pus like

  604. y'all got into Can you put a poss on it?

  605. Can you put a price on it?

  606. Right now?

  607. Look? God, preget.

  608. No pot right now, No points on in the house.

  609. Not to be hook to the Papa boice, no right now,

  610. look God detail hell retail help Yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay.

  611. Thank you talking coming to you in the house, sir,

  612. Yeah yeah.

  613. I mean you sir, and so right here, yeah yeah,

  614. right here.

  615. What I've learned about that prayer line is I don't

  616. have to carry all of these things by myself. I

  617. don't have to do it. We were talking Friday. We're

  618. talking Friday Apostle.

  619. Cola, and he said, man, listen, y'all go he got

  620. that moving company, and he.

  621. Said, man, some of the stuff I carry, I gotta

  622. ask him, you know what you're doing. You know what

  623. you're doing, what you're.

  624. Carrying that you know and then they mess up. He

  625. takes part of that chick. He asked him in advance,

  626. and you know what you're doing. And I told you

  627. there and I said, man, look, I has as none

  628. of them brothers, so they know what they're doing.

  629. I hear the sounds of their voices, and I can

  630. understand some of the things that I'm going through in

  631. this in this season they have went through to and

  632. guess what they made it out, made it out, and

  633. I need to mean like doctor Irvin and take notes,

  634. take notes.

  635. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

  636. And so when I figured out even the most about

  637. that I don't have to.

  638. Carry these things by myself. David did not go through

  639. everything by himself. All those there were moments when David

  640. felt alone. All though there were moments when David felt alone.

  641. All though there was moments he felt alone, there were

  642. people all around him. He had Jonathan he was. He

  643. had Jonathan he was, That was his covenant friend who

  644. helped him and then carries him. He had his family

  645. and supporters, He had the nation of Israel, you know

  646. when he went to battle and all of that kind

  647. of stuff.

  648. And he had his.

  649. Mighty Man who fall alongside with him his will. And

  650. so he was not by himself. And so even with

  651. that being said that even my most and people back

  652. then wasn't by theirself. One of y'all keep isolating yourself, making.

  653. It seem like you could do it by yourself.

  654. You can't do it by yourself. You can, I think

  655. sometimes we can, but it will long. How long it's

  656. gonna take? Yeah, yeah, sometimes it along what we're gonna take.

  657. And so right here be there, Uh let me see

  658. we uh that's in the Book of Songs. That's where

  659. he was admitting a whole lot of things.

  660. And so I actually commit I commend David because listen

  661. and you can talk real.

  662. We oversee the day of a man. Yeah yeah, yeah,

  663. So us is me and us as me and and

  664. some of you men can tap here right there.

  665. Some of uh, some things we don't want to admit

  666. that we have challenges. We don't want to inmit it,

  667. we have struggles. I want you to see me as

  668. this what they call relative on the on the line,

  669. mighty Joe, what they call him, mighty Joe.

  670. And you know what I'm saying, I want you to

  671. see me as mighty Joe. I want you to think

  672. that I don't have struggles.

  673. But I commend David because he was willing to admit,

  674. to admit his weaknesses.

  675. And even though that was a man, I listen and listen,

  676. sat out to my mama, loved you.

  677. But listen, are there any women in the house you

  678. hear me? Is there any women in the house that

  679. are willing to admit their weaknesses? It's because what I

  680. come to realize is that sometimes what we are showing

  681. that we or we get, gives God the opportunity to

  682. show up. It gives the opportunity for them to work up.

  683. We did not.

  684. He did not hide behind his titles, He did not

  685. hide behind his position, He did not hide behind his reputation.

  686. He uh he was uh bro. He brought his real emotions.

  687. He brought his real emotions over to God.

  688. For a man, sometimes I can admit when we just

  689. talked about that. It is hard for us to show

  690. our emotions and sometimes for us sometimes we don't say

  691. it out loud t J, but we feel for good.

  692. Sometimes we don't tie that loud brother brother Sammy, but

  693. we feel overwhelm. Sometimes we don't say it our loud.

  694. Brother in law, but we don't understand what's happening around

  695. us and by it. And David teaches us that weakness

  696. is not found and admitting we're struggling.

  697. It's found when hold on. David teaches us that weakness

  698. is not.

  699. Found and admitted we are not struggling, but it is

  700. found when our weakness is really found.

  701. When we act like we are stronger than what we

  702. really are. And so instead of you acting like you're

  703. struggling in what you really are, you ought to give

  704. it to Jesus, you ought to come in to somebody else.

  705. And it's kind of weird, not necessarily weird, but it's

  706. kind of That's an easier said that done situation where

  707. you want to just give it all the Jesus, but

  708. give God, you give, put.

  709. Your hand in Jesus's hand or whatever else like that.

  710. But that's easier said than done sometimes it's because.

  711. Sometimes we feel as if what I just heard the

  712. title the Father is not hearing us. And I gotta

  713. understand sometimes even for me, that I have to allow him.

  714. Everything is done perfect in this time. He knows the

  715. end we're going to beget it. You know, all of

  716. this stuff was gonna take place even before I was born.

  717. And so David was a.

  718. Man after God's own mark. He was a man after

  719. God's own mark. And not a man whoever, whoever, a

  720. man whoever, never ever said that he didn't hurt.

  721. But a man knows where to take his hurt. A

  722. man knows where to take his hurt. And so what

  723. I mean by that is the pigion on what it

  724. is that I'm dealing with. I know that I can

  725. go talk to my wife. Depending on what I'm dealing with,

  726. I know I go talk to over. Still I called

  727. you the other day.

  728. When I'm dealing with certain things, I know that I

  729. can call Colepa. So I know what I'm dealing with,

  730. certain things, I can call Elver.

  731. So the pigeon on what it is, you know who

  732. it is that you can go to.

  733. And I still find that interesting, even though the health

  734. is there.

  735. You sit in the isolation, and so and I think,

  736. I think, even with this being said right here, a

  737. closed mouth on gets.

  738. There, and so you have to let it be. Let

  739. your request know, let your requests know. So I started

  740. this message talking about the prayer.

  741. Line, but I have to be honest, I have never

  742. known that other people were dealing with the same thing,

  743. and some that I was dealing with sometimes hearing their voices.

  744. There's men and women who love God. Listen. These are

  745. men and women who keeps going up Sunday after Sunday

  746. after Sunday after Sunday. They still deal with some of

  747. the things that I dealt with or whatever, and they

  748. have overcurment. But sometimes they sneak up and still trying

  749. to get you, you know, and so love let me see,

  750. let me miss shure. Okay, right here, it doesn't matter

  751. any of our agents.

  752. It doesn't matter how much wisdom they carry, and it

  753. does not matter their position. Everyone has silent bowels that

  754. nobody knows about.

  755. Is can everybody can affess to that?

  756. Right there, somebody's dealing with something that they that nobody

  757. knows about.

  758. And so the pressure to be okay when we show

  759. up right here, it's not okay.

  760. Feeling alone even when surrounded by people is not okay.

  761. The pain of our past wounds, I got some of

  762. those right there. Something is not okay. To fill some

  763. of those things. The struggle to forgive that is not okay.

  764. The battle with identity and word is not okay. The

  765. fear of asking for help. You scared to ask somebody

  766. for help, That's not okay. The need to be heard

  767. and understood is not okay.

  768. And so being having that need right there, understanding that

  769. you can't be heard or understood, that's not okay for

  770. you to feel like that when all you got to

  771. do is get on your knees and pray.

  772. It might not come as fast as you won't.

  773. But he is on time.

  774. And so while I was I'm trying to pronounce this

  775. word right here, because when I was studying and I can't,

  776. I found a big word. I fall man. It's like

  777. this means it's called let me let me see it.

  778. Here we go.

  779. It's kind of looking look at pat eyes that it's

  780. what's the right eyes? He don't trying to pronounce them here.

  781. It is it's called elect old demioma. Yeah, y'all said that,

  782. like me trying to serious tip of that word one

  783. more time, elect Elect of Demioma.

  784. Uh huh.

  785. It's all been called emotional blinds.

  786. It's all been called out the yeah, yeah, it's all

  787. recalled emotional blindness.

  788. And so with that emotional blindness right there, what that does.

  789. And some people feel something deep inside, but they can't.

  790. Describe with what they feeling.

  791. And some people feel something deep inside but they can't

  792. describe what they're feeling.

  793. They know they're hurting, but they can't explain to hurt.

  794. They know that they but they can't explain to hurt.

  795. They know something that's wrong, but they can't explain whether

  796. the hurt is coming from. Because some of us in

  797. the church are dealing with spiritual spiritual version of spiritual

  798. version of emotional blindness. Some of us are dealing with

  799. that right there. And it might not you might not

  800. be able to say that out loud. But sometimes when

  801. you come to the church and you can't you hear

  802. at the church, your body is here at the church,

  803. but you can't participate because you know certain things.

  804. Are going on at home and you can't.

  805. You know, you got you got rent through, you got

  806. all these things that are happening in your life.

  807. But sometimes it's not necessarily any like a medical uh

  808. what you call like a medical diagnosis or whatever else

  809. like that, but the spiritual condition where.

  810. The believers have become disconnected from what is happening inside.

  811. Of them and what God may say to them.

  812. And so what I mean by that is, even though

  813. God has said He's calling me to these things, I

  814. don't feel that it's because of what it is that

  815. I'm going through.

  816. I don't feel what it is that you know these

  817. You said all of.

  818. These great things about me, but I don't see all

  819. of those things. And so technically I'm somewhat disconnected. I

  820. can't show up because I'm somewhat disconnected.

  821. And so with being disconnected oversea, I understood this even

  822. the more because this deal.

  823. With this message deal with me. First, of course, I

  824. can't just show up on Sundays. I can't just throw

  825. up on Sundays. I can't just throw up on Sundays. Y'all,

  826. hear what I'm saying. You can't just throw up on Sundays.

  827. You just can't come following me when you have some problems.

  828. They just you know what I'm saying, You just can't

  829. show up on Sundays.

  830. And then when you slow up, you up here and

  831. not telling y'all not to come, because Holly, y'all do

  832. come down here on today, but you come with the

  833. same problem over and over again, and you're not understanding

  834. what's going on on the inside.

  835. Is some of that stuff on the inside is spiritual blindness?

  836. Or what emotional spiritual blindness? And so what if we

  837. kept reading.

  838. Down I was before I had even came, I said,

  839. I was kind of upset because I was.

  840. Like, Lord, this is gonna be like a twenty eight

  841. twenty nine minutes little deal. And I said, man, Sister

  842. Lam preached for like an hour.

  843. You know what I'm saying.

  844. But you know, I was like, Lord, it's all yeah,

  845. you preaching for like an hour. But I was like, man,

  846. that's all I got. But I do want you all to.

  847. Know that y'all help me preached this serving on today

  848. here in y'all testimonies on today.

  849. Y'all help me preach the servant.

  850. And so not everyone who cries emotionally is healthy. Not

  851. everyone who praise knows they are actually feeling what David felt.

  852. And so with others saying than that I don't think

  853. there's many things. And I will not tell God like

  854. man look or not bringing to the Father and say like, well, Father,

  855. I'm dealing with this is week. Sometimes I do get

  856. started and Patricia, let's it be gone, like, well, toll Love,

  857. did you prayer?

  858. Nah?

  859. Girl, pray for me real quick. That's all BE trying

  860. to say, And she I don't need prayer whatever. And

  861. I'll be like, I'll go in the cloud in my

  862. clouset and prayer whatever else like that.

  863. But for the most part, what I'm trying to get

  864. to at the end of this right here in verse five,

  865. I didn't Athens.

  866. But in verse five David actually came to himself.

  867. David came to that verse five and six. Yeah, that's
