-
Of the Lord on today. But I do want to
-
encourage you.
-
That on tomorrow is that our prayer team, our prayer warriors,
-
host prayer, corporate prayer. I believe there's a shift in
-
the atmosphere and every shift in every transition and transformation
-
comes first with prayer.
-
That nothing is done without prayer.
-
But it's really through prayer, Amen, that we see the
-
hand of God move like never before.
-
And we want to encourage you to look up heart me.
-
We want to encourage you to come out on tomorrow
-
at six thirty and be part of the prayer session, Amen.
-
And also from six thirty a man after that we'll
-
have a strategic meeting for our initiative called Reach, which
-
is our outreach ministry for evangelism. All of us know
-
what our mission statement is? Is that correct that we are
-
what evangelistic entrepreneurs enterprise?
-
Amen? What do we do.
-
Co labors with God to the Loving God, the Hospital
-
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to reach those
-
that are lost, equip those that are found, and send
-
those that are chosen. Listen, if you fulfill the great commission,
-
if we get comfortable in our seats and come into
-
church and not going out. Amen, it's gonna be something
-
wrong with us. It's not really that we count if
-
we're effective or productive by how many seats we feel,
-
but how many people can we send out? Holly doo
-
you and so we thank God for all of you
-
that make up a house hold of faith. On today,
-
Today we're going to the Book of Philippians, Book of Philippians.
-
We've been in that book, same chapter. It's so much meat, Amen,
-
and wisdom in this book. Amen, that we it's almost
-
difficult to get out of it.
-
Amen. Boy. Then Pastor j just break ice on us
-

-
Amen, anybody got anybody come on now, come on, let
-
me let me say that again.
-
I know we'll love us slow. Did she bring a
-

-

-
Amen, delay is just an opportunity Amen for development. I
-
got that one. Hallelujah'na be a developed minister, right, hallelujah.
-
To what God is doing the Book of Philippians. If
-
you will, chapter number one, and let me tell you
-
our ministers are looking great in your clergy on today, Amen,
-
with you clap your hands for them.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Amen, boy, y'all gonna, y'all gonna get me in trouble. Y'all,
-
y'all gonna get me in trouble. That gonna get me
-
in trouble for looking so annointed. Amen, hallelujah. Amen, we're
-
going to Philippians. If you will, chapter number one, verse
-
number nineteen, and we'll read through verse number twenty four.
-
I could pick up twenty five, but with I'll stop
-
at twenty four. When you have it, say amen, for
-
the Bible says for I know.
-
That this.
-
In other words, he's going through a circumstance of situation,
-
anybody going through a circumstance of situation. Now, when we
-
think about circumstances situation, is that it's important that when
-
we look at whatever we're going through, we got to
-
look at them differently than when we looked at them
-
with our God. When we did not have God, we struggled.
-
Now that we have God, we strive for success through
-
everything that we struggle with that every opposition becomes opportunity, hallelujah,
-
and every stumbling block becomes stepping stone. Amen. Tell your neighbor, neighbor,
-
it's getting ready to turn, for you shall turn to
-
my salvation or deliverance. Now that I said, don't read
-
all the script, that's all right, all right through how
-
is it gonna turn, through your prayer and the supply
-
of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest
-
expectation and my hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed.
-
In other words, Man, through your prayer and to supply
-
of the Spirit and my expectation, I will not fall short.
-
I will not be ridiculed for what I'm trying to do.
-
But that with all boldness, as always so now also
-
Christ or shall be magnified in my body, rather it
-
be by life or by death. And then it gets
-
the verse number twenty one and says for me, to
-
live is Christ and to die is Gain. He say,
-
but if I live in the flesh, this is the
-
fruit of my labor. Yet what I shall choose I
-
know not, for I am and straight betwixt two, having
-
a desire to depart to be with Christ, which is
-
far more better than stand here with you all. But nevertheless,
-
somebody shall nevertheless to abide in you. The flesh is
-
more needful for you. And having this confidence I know
-
that I shall abide and continue with you all for
-
your featherings and joy of faith. Twenty one says for
-
me to live is Christ and to die is gain
-
from that. Those scriptures I would like to use for
-
a subject today, giving the best that I got. Let
-
me say that again, giving the best that I got.
-
For me to live is Christ and to die whatever
-
I live or die, but I'm sold out to what
-
my purpose is that Christ may be magnified in my body.
-
So if I'm going to reach my goal, then I
-
need to give the best that I got, not just
-
a little bit, not just some No, I got to
-
give the best.
-
Uh that I got. Tell your neighbor, give the best
-
that you got. Father.
-
I thank you now for your word. I thank you
-
for the work the spirit of God that's hit this house.
-
I thank you for the annoyntion that destroys yokes and
-
lift up burdens. I thank your God for what you
-
have placed in my spirit to deliver to your people.
-
And most of all, I thank you God that you
-
prepared the hearts of your people to receive it. Even
-
though our praise in our worship, that we create an
-
atmosphere for that's conducing for you to work miracles, signs
-
and wonders, use these lips of clay guard for your
-
glory and Jesus' nang.
-
We pray.
-
Amen, I five at least some people to tell them,
-
give the best that you have. Come on, tell them,
-
give the best that you've gotllelujah.
-
Amen, giving you the best that I got. Amen.
-
Come on, y'all make some noise, y'all lovet shah unless
-
y'all make making the noise, say give the best that
-
you got, Give the best, given the best that you've got.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Now when we go back, we look back over some years.
-
Those of you that may not recognize this, but back
-
in the day, we had a really, really jazzy, a jazzy, jazzy, fascinated, elegant.
-
Young lady by the name of Anita Baker. Yeah.
-
Yeah, Anita Baker was smooth, Amen, and she was soft,
-
and she was gentle, Amen.
-
And and she.
-
Composed a song says, giving you the best that I got.
-
And then she said the baby and I'm telling you,
-
but she composed it in the hook when somewhat like this,
-
we love so strong and so unselfishly. And she said,
-
and I tell you now that I made a vow
-
I'm giving you the best that I got. And she
-
repeated and said, now I'm telling you that I'm giving you,
-
giving you the best that I got.
-
Listen, baby, I ain't be saying saying, Y quit that.
-
In other words, she composed a song she says now
-
so strong and so unselfishly, because when we're thinking about
-
giving the best that I got, we have to put
-
and consider that whatever we're doing, it has to be
-
strong and we have to do it unselfishly. If we're
-
going to compose that today, I would like to challenge
-
you to give the best of you. Write that down,
-
to give the best of you and everything that you do. Oh,
-
let me say that again. Today I would like to
-
challenge you to give the best of you and everything
-
that you do. Hollylujah. When we think about this song,
-
a Lady love, more we think about it, we can focus.
-
Now we can focus either we're gonna give the best
-
that we got to God in service and commitment to
-
spiritual things. We can also think and focus not only
-
on God, we can also think about relationships that we
-
have horizontally that we're gonna give the best that we
-
have or the best that we got to the people.
-
That we're connected to. Is that right, hey? Man? In
-
other words, I thought about it for just a little bit.
-
Is that if failure happens in my relationship, I don't
-
want to be the blame that it fell apart.
-
Uh huh.
-
If the church went hayward, I don't want to be
-
the blame that the church went hayward. If the company
-
went down, I don't want to be the blame that's
-
why the company went down.
-
I want.
-
I want to acknowledge and I want to confess and
-
decloud that while I was there, while I was present,
-
while I was there, while I was in the house,
-
or in the relationship, that I gave uh the best
-
of me that I had.
-
Amen.
-
And it may be given not only to God or
-
to people, but it may be given to a task,
-
maybe given to a test, maybe given to a trial,
-
a project, a program, a job. But the truth of
-
the matter is how it is to me to give
-
the best that I got, Menisa right, I come to
-
find out man? Growing up, I've always said and always
-
had this testimony. I haven't ever been the best, you know,
-
the best on the field, I haven't been the best
-
in the church.
-
I haven't been the best preacher. But the truth of the.
-
Matter is even if I if I was in the game,
-
you would recognize my impact because I was.
-
There, hallelujah.
-
Not that I was best the best, but I did
-
give my best, uh huh that I had while I
-
was involved. Yeah, yeah, yeah, even when I was Even
-
when I play dumbinose ain't the best, but I act
-
like it when I'm there. Come on, somebody, hallelujah. Hey man,
-
you can have all of my enemies. Hallelujah. I ain't
-
the best. They'll tell me, Man, you ain't the best
-
at this. Come on, somebody, hallelujah. But before I leave, Ah,
-
they know that I was there. I wonder that if
-
you are in a relationship or taking care of a
-
tax to if you was gone, if anybody would miss you.
-
Oh God, let me ask that question.
-
You know, some folks say, man, have been faithful, and
-
you kind of know that they were missing, But people
-
who ain't never really showed up. You really don't miss them,
-
So you don't know if you really had an impact
-
on an influence on that group of people on card
-
that on that tax because you didn't give.
-
The best that you had. Hallelujah.
-
Tell your neighbors and neighbor, you got to give the
-
best that you got, regardless of your situation. In your circumstance,
-
you got to give the best that you got. Even
-
in your conflict, you got to give the best that
-
you got. Tell your neighbor, you got to give the
-
best that you got, and tell me that experience is
-
a good teacher. And when we think about giving the
-
best that we got, then it's important for us to
-
understand that this means, this means totally committed. If you're
-
gonna give the best that you got, you got to
-
be completely committed to what you're committed to. In other words,
-
it requires that if you're in a relationship in God
-
or with a particular task that is important, that you
-
don't give twenty percent, you don't give thirty percent, but
-
you give one hundred percent. And so that's why when
-
when I look at marriages, I look at marriage marriages,
-
not fifty fifty. Tell your neighbor marriages, not fifty fifty. Oh,
-
y'all ain't gonna talk back to me. I say, it's
-
not fifty to fifty. It's not sixty forty nine, thirty seventy.
-
A man, when you get in a relationship, it's one
-
hundred to one hundred. Come on, somebody, if you have
-
and I don't, come on, we both have whatever it is.
-
But when it comes to relationship, you got to give
-
one hundred percent, hollydujah, all of the time.
-
And I know you get tired and you get worn out.
-
You want to get a one hundred percent when somebody's
-
giving twenty in the relationship. But when you're fully committed
-
and you're given the best that you've got and you're
-
not going to be the blame for the relationship to
-
fall apart. I wish I had somebody right there, hallelujah
-
that despite of what you've given me, yet I can't
-
help myself because of who I am and anything that
-
I'm invested in. If I'm invested in it, then I'm
-
gonna give one hundred percent of what I got. I
-
tell your neighbor, you got to give a hundred man
-
one hundred. Well, I'm talking to you right now, hallelujah, hallelujah.
-
If you gonna want it to work, if you wanted
-
to work, if you want to get to the outcome
-
to where you're going, you're gonna have to be totally
-
committed to whatever you committed to, and you got to
-
give a hundred percent. Tell your neighbor give a hundred,
-
give a hundred.
-
The Bible the class that that we should be like
-
a tree planted by the rivers of water. Come on, somebody,
-
you gotta understand that you can't change me from my
-
one hundred percent. You can't reduce me for who I
-
am and what I give and what I bring to
-
the table, because when I come, I bring everything I
-
have in me to the table. He says I should
-
be and you should be like a tree. I'll tell
-
your neighbor, You're gonna be like a tree. Uh huh'm
-
scripture saying plant it by the rivers of water that
-
bring forth your what fruit in your season. Tell your
-
neighbor get ready, cause your fruit is about to show up.
-
Come on, tell them your harvest is about to show up.
-
Gonna know who I'm talking to up in here. Your
-
blessing is about to show up. Hallelujah. Don't think that
-
you're gonna give God one hundred percent of what you
-
got and you're not.
-
Gonna receive one hundred fold.
-
And you ain't got to wait to get the heaven
-
to get it card till I'm gonna give it to.
-
You right now. I'm gonna give your houses.
-
I'm gonna give your cards, I'm gonna give your joy.
-
I'm gonna give your peace. Oh God, I'm gonna give
-
your luck. Tell your neighbor and say, neighbor, give the
-
best that you got. Yeah, it's important that that if
-
you're gonna give the best that you got, you gotta
-
be totally to your neighbor, totally totally.
-
Come on.
-
I ain't in no rush, hallelujah. You gotta be totally
-
come on. You gotta be totally, totally, totally, totally committed.
-
If you gonna sing the song man singing with everything
-
you got, If you're gonna play the instrument, do it
-
with everything you got. If you're gonna pray, come on,
-
quit tiptoeing on me. Hallelujah, hallelujah. I need a move
-
from God. I need some deliverance. Hallelujah. I need you
-
to give it everything that you got. Come on, somebody, hallelujah.
-
I want you to pull out like a drink off
-
none to me. I want you to be full in
-
order to out car Come on, somebody, somebody, say give
-
it one hundred, give you one hundred.
-
Yeah, give me the best that you got.
-
Is a process, your neighbor, is a process right now down,
-
not the outcome.
-
Oh.
-
In other word, it focuses on the now. What are
-
you doing now to get to where you're going? People
-
are so more so concerned a brother price to get
-
into the outcome that they don't start now. And if
-
you don't start the now, you will never get to
-
the income. The outcome hallelujah.
-
In other words, you got to engage in order to
-
gauge to know where you're going to the next step hallelujah.
-
But if you don't, never put one step forward, you
-
will never get to your destination.
-
So it focuses on the now than in the outcome.
-
In other words, you gotta get to the point that Hey,
-
when it comes to this, is that if there's failure
-
and I don't get to what I wanted my desire
-
to be, at least I have a testimony that I
-
gave it my own. Oh, come on, somebody, anybody being there, hallelujah.
-
The thing didn't work out, but I still gave it.
-
Oh God, I wish I had somebody hallelujah that I
-
gave it my own.
-
Huh huh. In other words, when you get to the
-
end of the rope and you give, you have given
-
to everything that you have. Hey man, you got to
-
say to yourself, that's all I got. I can't give
-
no more. I ain't gotting nothing else to exhaust. I
-
wish I had somebody.
-
Well, if you gonna give it all you got, you
-
got to exhaust everything. Hallelujah. And you got to get
-
to the place to know that. Hey man, I don't
-
know what else to give. I don't giving you everything
-
I got given the best of that. God means being consistent.
-
It means showing up every time. And every time you
-
show up, you present your bs. Some people show up,
-
you just present. Oh God, come on, somebody, hallelujah, I say,
-
some folks show up, you just present.
-
You just taking up space. Hallelujah. But hallelujah.
-
I like what Brother Prance would say, if you don't
-
put nothing in it, you can't get nothing out of it.
-
I wish I had a neighbor right there, hallelujah.
-
Can I tell you again, if you don't put anything
-
in and you can't get nothing out of it, what
-
you put in come on somebody glory the car.
-
It would be back, it would be pressed back to you.
-
Good mess.
-
You're pressed down, shaken together, and run it over. But
-
you got to put something in it. You got to
-
be consistent in it. And while you're present, be present. Hallelujah.
-
Sometimes we're present, but our mind's is somewhere else.
-
Oh, I wish I had a neighbor here. Hallelujah. You're here,
-
but where are you had them? Where are you?
-
You're here presently, but where are you are you tuned
-
into God?
-
Are you in the alignment regard? If you gotta be present?
-
You got to be consistent every time, and then every
-
time you show up, you are to present your best,
-
say your neighbor, give the best that you've got, given
-
the best that God means. Now that you overcome limitations,
-
how many know that we got some limitations. That's some
-
things that we don't do because we got fear, hallelujah.
-
There's some things that we don't overcome because we got
-
a shame about it. That's some things we fear, Holly Lord.
-
There's some things that there's some limitation that we have
-
because we have doubt. Hallelujah. But you're gonna have to
-
go to extra mind. If you're gonna give it all
-
that you got, tell your neighbors that neighbor, you gotta
-
go to extra mound to realize your full potential. Ah,
-
So giving it the best that God involves resilience. In
-
other words, there's gonna be some situations in some circumstances
-
that won't cash it down, but you got to have
-
the ability to bounce back up. How many of them
-
been cash down but been able to get up? Come on, somebody,
-
how many know that the devil been in your way? Hallelujah,
-
tried to stop you, but you kept on moving. Hallelujah.
-
Oh I wish I had somebody. Sometimes you gotta bounce
-
back hallelujah. Sometimes you got to recalculate. Sometimes you got
-
to refocus. Sometimes you got to face the challenge. Sometime
-
we want to run away from the challenges, but you
-
got to face the challenges. You got to face the
-
gimes in your life, because the challenges in your life
-
is the next step to your elevation. You can't get
-
to your elevation with have the challenges.
-
I wish I had somebody up in here.
-
Somebody put your hands together and keep card praise right there.
-
Tell your neighbors, say, neighbor, you got to face the challenges.
-
You got to face the giants in your life. You
-
got to face the situation. Some things you can't pray on.
-
Some things you got to keep because it's developing your
-
camera to You won't be as strong as you are unless.
-
You go through what you're going through.
-
You won't be as wise as you are unless you
-
go through what you're going through.
-
You won't trust Gord like you trust God.
-
You wouldn't know him Hallelujah like you know him unless
-
you face the challenges.
-
I thank God for the challenges.
-
Oh God, come on, come on somebody, hallelujah. The Bible
-
say't count it all, oh joy, when you're going through
-
divers temptations and tribulation, whatever, because it's producing some patience
-
in you. How many you need some patience to get
-
to the next level. Hollynujah. You have need of patience
-
that after you have done for will of card, throw
-
it tarry, wait for it. I'm coming to tell you
-
today that is child come to pass. Tell your neighbors, say, neighbor,
-
it's chow come to pass.
-
Ah a chow come to pass.
-
And so when we look at the text, we look
-
at this text and all is in a serious situation.
-
He's in prison.
-
Not only in prison, but he's the next person on
-
their roads chopping block. And my god, he could do
-
any and everything to stop progressing.
-
He can do everything. That's just throw in the towel.
-
And oftentimes when challenges come in our life, people have
-
a tendency of easily throwing in the town or maybe
-
if they don't throw in the tower passa j they
-
they don't give them one hundred percent no more. They
-
was excited when everything was ice cream and cookies.
-
They was excited with the blessings.
-
But as soon as the burden came some kind of way,
-
it stopped their momentum. Oh God, I wish I had
-
somebody hallelujah. And what they were putting in and not
-
putting that in no more. Because of the challenges the
-
apostle Paul was going through challenges.
-
Not only here, he was going through challenges.
-
His apostolic calling was challenged by the Church of Corinth.
-
They said, man, you're not no preacher, hallelujah. And you
-
would think that that would have stopped him, but yet
-
he was still giving. He not oh the best that
-
he had. Matter of fact, a sister Edlton, minister Edlton.
-
They told him, man, you don't even speak well. You
-
don't talk well you matter of fact, you talk like
-
a baby. You rite better than you. And he says,
-
don't worry about that, because see, I didn't come to
-
you with excellent of speech. Come on, somebody, hallelujah. But
-
I came, Callelujah, Glory to God, he said, I came
-
Hallelujah in demonstration and the power of the Holygo tell
-
your neighbors, say, neighbor, whatever you do, don't allow your
-
limitations to exceed your expectation.
-
Oh, let me say it again, don't allow.
-
Your limitations to exceed your expectation. I thank God for Paul,
-
because he says, for I know this, He said, I
-
know this, that this thing that is happening to me
-
is gonna turn out to my salvation. He says, there's
-
some things that has been done for me that's pushing
-
me hallelujah to that I may continue to give the
-
best that I got. Let me tell you, v Ip,
-
I couldn't give the best that I have if you
-
wasn't praying.
-
For me, Come on somebody. I wish I had.
-
Somebody hot, little prayer, little power, some prayer, some power,
-
but prayer power. Thank you for praying for me, the
-
writer says, I thank you for your prayer. Not only
-
for your prayer, but your supply of the Holy Ghost.
-
In other words, when you pray, you're giving me more
-
of the spirit of God that I may have boldness.
-
Come on somebody, that it may induce my expectation and
-
forget about my limitations. The problem with us is that
-
we're looking at our limitations and we're not looking at
-
costs expectations. I wish y'all somebody would give called or
-
praise right now, Tell your neighbor again and say, don't
-
allow your limitations to exceed your expectation. And say, for
-
I know this shall turn. It's gonna turn because of
-
my expectation. Whatever I'm going through, it's gonna turn. My
-
My expectation tells me the outcome.
-
He said. Not only that, but for my hope.
-
My hope says, this is the process until I get
-
to my expectation. In other words, you gotta keep hope
-
alive until you come to the outcome of your expectation.
-
And the body of the class that this shalped turn
-
to my deliverance. Can I tell you that Paul faced
-
some limitations. Yeah, he faced some limitations in the life
-
that did not but he did not allow them to
-
exceed his expectation.
-
Tell your neighbor against the neighbor.
-
Don't allow your limitations to exceed your expectations.
-
Tell them, say neighbor, give the best that you got.
-
It's important you understand that Paul faced some limitations. In
-
other words, he faced some deficiencies in his physical being.
-
Have anybody had some problems in your physical being? Come on, somebody,
-
have you been sinking your body? Come on, somebody, hallelujah?
-
Elements in your body that won't allow you to do
-
what you want to do. Hallelujah. But let me just
-
tell you the apostle Paul. Then just have it altogether.
-
But he had some deficiencies even in his physical body.
-
The Bible of the class here he says that he
-
dealt with a thorn in the flesh. If there's anybody
-
in here that even had to deal with a thrown
-
in your flesh, come on, you tried to shake it,
-
but you couldn't shake it off of it I wish
-
I had somebody in here, somebody kept God praise right there.
-
Sometime we're gonna deal with a thorn in our flesh
-
and the Bible of the class.
-
In Second Corinthianus.
-
Twelve and seven, they say, lest I should be exalted
-
above measure. He say, through the abundance of revelations, that
-
was given to me a thorn in the flesh. He said,
-
that was a messenger of Satan to buffet me. Lest
-
I shall be exalted above measure. Can I tell you that?
-
Often time, when you're being challenged, you're not being challenged
-
by Satan, but God have allowed Satan to come.
-
Come on somebody.
-
Sometimes, He asked the question, have you can con is
-
that somebody in here?
-
Have you considered myself? I wonder if he gonna still
-
give the best that he caught. He said, Job is
-
a man that I called.
-
But he has he has with he has held on
-
to his integrity. Often, when you're going through whatever you're
-
going through, you gotta hold on. Tell your neighbor you
-
got the hold on, Tell them you got the hold
-
on to your integrity. The way you started. You are
-
to advance what you started and never turn back. Come
-
on somebody. If anybody turned back, mother, you're not fit
-
for the Kingdom of card. The devil wanna stop, you
-
wanna block, you want to stop you from getting my
-
car half for you. But you got to keep the
-
momentum and keep on coin. And while you're goin, you
-
got to give it the best that you caught. Tell
-
your neighbors, say, neighbor, kive it the best that you got.
-
You ah, yeah, yeah.
-
Sometimes God play some things or allow some things on
-
you the barble declass that sometimes you may be facing
-
some things again that you can't shake. Collelujah. That's some
-
things that you might go through. Let me say it again, hallelujah,
-
that you can't shake. But you still got to give
-
it the best that you got. Hallelujah. Paul prayed these
-
three times. Hallelujah. He trying to shake this thing. But
-
the Bible, the class that it wouldn't move. Now's some
-
things they won't move, but you gonna move. Come on, somebody, hallelujah.
-
It ain't gonna move, but you gonna keep on moving.
-
And I wish I had somebody that would give them
-
card praise. Right there, Paul prayed the Bible of the
-
class that Paul prayed these three times that he may
-
shake this thing off of it. Tell your neighbors shake
-
it off, shake it off, tell him shake it off,
-
shake it off. Tell them shake it off, chake it off,
-
shake it out. Tell them it ain't coming off though
-
it ain't coming off. Tell them it ain't coming off.
-
I know.
-
Tell them on shake it off, shake it out. Tell
-
them it ain't coming off though it ain't coming off.
-
He said, don't worry about it while it's still on you.
-
I'm looking for you to give the best that you got.
-
Come on, because my grace. Oh I wish I had somebody.
-
My grace is sufficient that where you're weak, my shit
-
is made perfect. Come on, the reason I can still
-
do what I do when I'm going through it, I
-
can't shake stuff off of it. Come on, somebody, Hallelujah,
-
is because CODs grace. Oh God, you want to kill
-
card praise right now. Cod's grace is sufficient. His crazy
-
is gonna see me through. His grace is gonna pull
-
me out. His grace is gonna help me. His craz
-
is gonna secure me. His grace is gonna support me.
-
Oh I wish I had somebody. That understood costs grace
-
and mercy that should follow me all the days my life.
-
And I shall continue to.
-
Kill Card everything the best that I caught, as long
-
as I dwell in the House of the Lord. Somebody
-
killed Card. Praise right there, hollandoja, Hollnelojah, halleloja, haleneloja. Oh
-
you want to clap your hands right there, cause that's
-
some things you've been trying to shake off. Hallelujah. Somebody
-
that been stopping you by trying to stop you, but
-
my card. You keep kiming Card your best Holleyljah. The
-
more you kill him your pass, the more he gonna
-
give you grace.
-
His grace is sufficient for you. But you got to
-
keep him giving him Hallelujah.
-
Tell your neighbors say give him, give him gil come on,
-
tell him give I give the best that you got.
-
And as God see you, hallelujah, and see your faith. Oh,
-
I wish I had somebody right there. Hallelujah. My faith
-
shall not fail me. Hallelujah. As he see your faith,
-
he gonna pull you out by your faith. I wish
-
I had somebody right for hell, God bless you.
-
Come on. His grace is sufficient.
-
He concludes that when his grace is sufficient, I can
-
still give God the best that I got. And so
-
he says, when I when I got the revelation, somebody
-
shot the revelation that when I'm weak his strength, it's
-
very perfect.
-
The thorn should have stopped me. Mother Johnson. Mother Johnson.
-
Mother Johnson testified this morning that she thought about staying
-
at home. Oh had a thorn in a flesh, feet,
-
swoll legs, wore, whatever the case may be, but it
-
could have stopped her from coming to the House of
-
the Lord. And not only did she show up, but
-
she also taught Sunday school. And if we wouldn't have
-
known that she was sitting in the chair, wouldn't haven't even.
-
Known that her feet was swollen.
-
I wonder if that's some folk that go through something
-
and yet people can't even tell, Oh, y'all' here I
-
go here, y'a ain't gonna help me. Come on, somebody, Hollyjjah,
-
come on, I'm going through hell and hot water, but
-
yet I'm still giving card my best. Oh God, I
-
wish I had somebody right here. Hallelujah. I wish I
-
had somebody right here.
-
Listen. I shouldn't have lost my mid But I'm giving
-
Cord my pest hallelujah. And when I give it to itim,
-
I'm gonna give it my best praise. I'm gonna give
-
it my best worship. I'm gonna give it my best prayer.
-
Somebody tell your neighbors, say nay, give him no pest.
-
Set You're got to hallelujah. He said, I rather glory,
-
he said, I got a revelation. Instead of stopping, I'm
-
gonna boast hallelujah, rather glory. Now, I rather glory. Look
-
at that now.
-
I used to complain about it, but I gotta keep
-
my momentum. I got to give card my best. So
-
I rather glory now in my tribulation, hallelujah. Knowing that
-
my tribulation, come on, somebody is working patience, and patience
-
my card is worth getting experience, and experience is bringing
-
me to a place of hope and hope. Shall not
-
tell your neighbors, say, neighbor, your hope. It will not
-
be ashamed. Whatever you expect, God is gonna bring it
-
to you. I wish I'm gonna have somebody who believe
-
that right now. Just give God, pray, tell him, it's
-
gonna happen. It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. Hallelujah. Not
-
only did he face physical ailment in his body, but
-
he y'allso faced some speech impediments.
-
Some of us don't want to say nothing because we
-
don't talk well. Hallelujah.
-
Some said to him in sacond Christians ten and ten.
-
He said, but Paul, some of them letters that you wrote,
-
they will waiting, and they were powerful. He say, but
-
your bodily presence was weak, and your speech was contemptible.
-
In other words, when you were speaking, it didn't have
-
no weight. But Paul answered back, tell your neighbor, folks
-
gonna criticize you, b don't let it stop you.
-
Oh God, I wish I had somebody. Hallelujah.
-
I say, folks gonna criticize you, but don't let it
-
stop you. Paul testify first create in two three five.
-
He says, I come to you in weakness. In other words,
-
I know where I'm weak at, Hallelujah. I know where
-
I'm shown at. I know where I have issues at, hallelujah.
-
Matter of fact, before you criticized me, I was already
-
my best critic. I wish I had somebody in here,
-
because if you learn how to credit yourself and criticize
-
yourself when other people talk about you, the problem with
-
you is you got too much come on with somebody,
-
too much pride you thank you all that in a
-
bag of chips.
-
No, you're not.
-
You are to look in the mirror and say, you
-
know what, I hadn't made a chance. There's still some
-
things that God is working.
-
Out in my life. I wish I had somebody. I'm
-
not where I used to be, but I.
-
Haven't come to a place where Cardon wants me to be.
-
But my God, I'd rather be my best critic. Oh,
-
clap your hands and give God praise. Hallelujah. He said,
-
I come to you in weakness, and in weakness, and
-
with great fear and tripling. He said, I understand my
-
message and my preaching. What not with wise and persuasive words,
-
he say, But we're a demonstration of the Spirit's power,
-
so that the faith may not be rested upon human wisdom,
-
but on God's power. Tell your neighbors and neighbor, his
-
grace is sufficient till your neighbors say, give it the
-
best that you got and then we look at it
-
the third time. Paul did not allow these things to
-
discourage him.
-
Amen.
-
In other words, all that he went through he allowed us.
-
He did not allow his limitations to exceed his expectations.
-
The Bible of the Class in Second Corinthian four and seven.
-
But we have this treasure, have these treasure jaws of Clayton,
-
to show that this all surpassing power. Tell your neighbor,
-
the God is working in you. It's also working for you,
-
the Bible of the Class. That greater is he that
-
is in you than he that is in the world.
-
He say, No matter what you're going through, you gotta
-
steal give it the best that you got.
-
He says, insangerine and foid. He says, we're a hard press.
-
Tell your neighbor, I've been hard press, but I'm still
-
giving God the best that I got. He said, we
-
been hard pressed on every side. In other words, when
-
I try to do good to the left, it turns
-
out on the right. When I turn to the right,
-
it turns to the left. When I look up there
-
and it come down from the bottom of the bottom,
-
it comes down from the top. But the truth of
-
the matter is I'm still gonna give Card my best.
-
Tell your neighbor, say neighbor, Old neighbor, Say, old neighbor.
-
I'm gonna kive Card my best. I might be hard pressed,
-
but I'm gonna kive Card my best. I might be down,
-
I might be crushed, but I'm not perplex. I'm gonna
-
give Card my best. Ah. I might be going through
-
perse q, but I'm not abandoned. I'm gonna give Card
-
my best. I might be shut down, but I'm not destroyed.
-
Tell your neighbors, see neighbor, I will give Card my best.
-
He has always carrying around in our bodies the death
-
of Jesus Christ, so that the life of Jesus may
-
also be revealed in our body. Tell your neighbor, see neighbor,
-
give God your best. And if you're gonna give Card
-
your best, you can't allow fear to paralyze your potential.
-
Tell your neighbor that fear is after you, that fear
-
is after your potential. But the Bible says and for
-
Libyans one two. For me to live is Christ and
-
to die is gain. But I live in this flesh.
-
This heals the fruit of my labor. In other words,
-
Paul was not afraid of that. That he wasn't afraid
-
of that. He had a testimony for me to live
-
his Christ and to die is game. Paul understood that
-
fear was his opponent, that peel would paralyze it, that
-
fear would suppress.
-
His passion, that fear will freeze his cution.
-
But by parting prostitution and procrastination, he made up his
-
mind that he was gonna give Card his best.
-
You got to make up your mind that no.
-
Matter what I'm going through, I won't let fear paralyzed me.
-
I won't let fear paralyzed my potential. In other words,
-
Card that Paul said that Card is not giving us
-
the spirit of fear, but a power, love and a
-
sound mind. I wish I had somebody in here that
-
hadn't perfect love that casts out all fear, because when
-
you cast out all here, you can still do what
-
Carl called you to do, no matter what your situation is.
-
And that's why he said in second tivoenty four and six,
-
he said, for now I'm ready. Tell your neighbors and
-
neighbor get it ready to get ready. Tell him get
-
ready and get ready. He say, for now, I'm ready
-
to be opened up, and my time of the puncher
-
is at hand.
-
As I was then, so am I now what I
-
went through in my past.
-
Even though I'm going through what I'm going through now,
-
I'm gonna kill card my past.
-
Tell your name.
-
I did it then and I'm gonna do it now,
-
and nothing's gonna stop me. But the apostile Paul says,
-
I'm gonna continue to do it until I come to
-
my expectations. He said, I fall a good fight. He said,
-
I finished my course. He said, I kept the faith.
-
He said, I know there's a crown. Tell your neighbors,
-
a neighbor, get it ready for your expectation to come
-
to pass. There's a crown of righteousness here waiting on you.
-
But you got to give in the best that you
-
got it. Tell your neighbors, a neighbor, I'm giving it
-
the best that I got it. And when I kill
-
the best that I caught you, I won't allow confusion
-
to delay my destiny. How far your neighbor, And tell
-
your neighbor, don't allow confusion to delay your destiny.
-
Come on and kill cod. Praise, kill cod, praise right there?
-
Come on, you ain't praising somebody praise.
-
It, I'm gonna be talking to me. But the Bible said,
-
if Philippias one two being poser, yet, what shall I choose?
-
I'm not gonna let confusion to lay my destiny.
-
Somebody's shy, yes, somebody's shiners, somebody's shiny, yes, he.
-
Said, what shall I choose? I wanna choose to be
-
with Christ, and that far more better. But nevertheless, I'm
-
gonna stay here with you because it's gonna help you
-
fulfill your choice. Tell your name is a neighbor. You
-
got to make up in your mind what you're gonna do.
-
Tell the make up in your mind what you're gonna do.
-
You ain't got a whole lot of time. You gotta
-
make up in your mind what you gonna do. You
-
ain't got a whole lot of money.
-
You gotta make up in your mind what.
-
You gonna do. Somebody shall yes, But the Bibles and
-
Chata with twenty four, He says, but shoose you this
-
day and whom you gonna serve? Tell your neighbors and
-
neighbor you got to make a choice. You gonna either
-
stay or you gonna gold. Tell your neighbors. You got

to make a choice. You got to speaking or be quiet.

-
You gonna do it or you're not gonna do it.
-
Tell your neighbors and neighbor. You're gonna have to make
-
a choice. You're gonna stand up or you gonna sit down.

My mama would say, you gotta movebo or get up
-
off the pot. I wish I had somebody that would
-
kill Card. Praise You gotta make them in your.
-

When talks leave you, give in the blessing you can't

-
Namor I'm gonna give Card the best that I got.
-
Tap your hands and give me praise. Tell them I'm
-
gonna give Card. I'm gonna give Card. I'm gonna give God.
-
I'm gonna give God for me to live. It's Christ
-
to die. It's game. If I live or die, Christ
-
shall be magnified.
-
Come on, I'm gonna get to my expectation, whether I
-
live or die, whatever I expected, whatever I expected, whatever
-
God put in my heart, whether I live or die,
-
I'm gonna give God.
-
