  28. you and so we thank God for all of you

  29. that make up a house hold of faith. On today,

  30. Today we're going to the Book of Philippians, Book of Philippians.

  31. We've been in that book, same chapter. It's so much meat, Amen,

  43. To what God is doing the Book of Philippians. If

  44. you will, chapter number one, and let me tell you

  45. our ministers are looking great in your clergy on today, Amen,

  46. with you clap your hands for them.

  47. Hallelujah.

  48. Amen, boy, y'all gonna, y'all gonna get me in trouble. Y'all,

  49. y'all gonna get me in trouble. That gonna get me

  50. in trouble for looking so annointed. Amen, hallelujah. Amen, we're

  51. going to Philippians. If you will, chapter number one, verse

  52. number nineteen, and we'll read through verse number twenty four.

  53. I could pick up twenty five, but with I'll stop

  54. at twenty four. When you have it, say amen, for

  55. the Bible says for I know.

  56. That this.

  57. In other words, he's going through a circumstance of situation,

  58. anybody going through a circumstance of situation. Now, when we

  59. think about circumstances situation, is that it's important that when

  60. we look at whatever we're going through, we got to

  61. look at them differently than when we looked at them

  62. with our God. When we did not have God, we struggled.

  63. Now that we have God, we strive for success through

  64. everything that we struggle with that every opposition becomes opportunity, hallelujah,

  65. and every stumbling block becomes stepping stone. Amen. Tell your neighbor, neighbor,

  66. it's getting ready to turn, for you shall turn to

  67. my salvation or deliverance. Now that I said, don't read

  68. all the script, that's all right, all right through how

  69. is it gonna turn, through your prayer and the supply

  70. of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest

  71. expectation and my hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed.

  72. In other words, Man, through your prayer and to supply

  73. of the Spirit and my expectation, I will not fall short.

  74. I will not be ridiculed for what I'm trying to do.

  75. But that with all boldness, as always so now also

  76. Christ or shall be magnified in my body, rather it

  77. be by life or by death. And then it gets

  78. the verse number twenty one and says for me, to

  79. live is Christ and to die is Gain. He say,

  80. but if I live in the flesh, this is the

  81. fruit of my labor. Yet what I shall choose I

  82. know not, for I am and straight betwixt two, having

  83. a desire to depart to be with Christ, which is

  84. far more better than stand here with you all. But nevertheless,

  85. somebody shall nevertheless to abide in you. The flesh is

  86. more needful for you. And having this confidence I know

  87. that I shall abide and continue with you all for

  88. your featherings and joy of faith. Twenty one says for

  89. me to live is Christ and to die is gain

  90. from that. Those scriptures I would like to use for

  91. a subject today, giving the best that I got. Let

  92. me say that again, giving the best that I got.

  93. For me to live is Christ and to die whatever

  94. I live or die, but I'm sold out to what

  95. my purpose is that Christ may be magnified in my body.

  96. So if I'm going to reach my goal, then I

  97. need to give the best that I got, not just

  98. a little bit, not just some No, I got to

  99. give the best.

  100. Uh that I got. Tell your neighbor, give the best

  101. that you got. Father.

  102. I thank you now for your word. I thank you

  103. for the work the spirit of God that's hit this house.

  104. I thank you for the annoyntion that destroys yokes and

  105. lift up burdens. I thank your God for what you

  106. have placed in my spirit to deliver to your people.

  107. And most of all, I thank you God that you

  108. prepared the hearts of your people to receive it. Even

  109. though our praise in our worship, that we create an

  110. atmosphere for that's conducing for you to work miracles, signs

  111. and wonders, use these lips of clay guard for your

  112. glory and Jesus' nang.

  113. We pray.

  114. Amen, I five at least some people to tell them,

  115. give the best that you have. Come on, tell them,

  116. give the best that you've gotllelujah.

  117. Amen, giving you the best that I got. Amen.

  118. Come on, y'all make some noise, y'all lovet shah unless

  119. y'all make making the noise, say give the best that

  120. you got, Give the best, given the best that you've got.

  121. Hallelujah.

  122. Now when we go back, we look back over some years.

  123. Those of you that may not recognize this, but back

  124. in the day, we had a really, really jazzy, a jazzy, jazzy, fascinated, elegant.

  125. Young lady by the name of Anita Baker. Yeah.

  126. Yeah, Anita Baker was smooth, Amen, and she was soft,

  127. and she was gentle, Amen.

  128. And and she.

  129. Composed a song says, giving you the best that I got.

  130. And then she said the baby and I'm telling you,

  131. but she composed it in the hook when somewhat like this,

  132. we love so strong and so unselfishly. And she said,

  133. and I tell you now that I made a vow

  134. I'm giving you the best that I got. And she

  135. repeated and said, now I'm telling you that I'm giving you,

  136. giving you the best that I got.

  137. Listen, baby, I ain't be saying saying, Y quit that.

  138. In other words, she composed a song she says now

  139. so strong and so unselfishly, because when we're thinking about

  140. giving the best that I got, we have to put

  141. and consider that whatever we're doing, it has to be

  142. strong and we have to do it unselfishly. If we're

  143. going to compose that today, I would like to challenge

  144. you to give the best of you. Write that down,

  145. to give the best of you and everything that you do. Oh,

  146. let me say that again. Today I would like to

  147. challenge you to give the best of you and everything

  148. that you do. Hollylujah. When we think about this song,

  149. a Lady love, more we think about it, we can focus.

  150. Now we can focus either we're gonna give the best

  151. that we got to God in service and commitment to

  152. spiritual things. We can also think and focus not only

  153. on God, we can also think about relationships that we

  154. have horizontally that we're gonna give the best that we

  155. have or the best that we got to the people.

  156. That we're connected to. Is that right, hey? Man? In

  157. other words, I thought about it for just a little bit.

  158. Is that if failure happens in my relationship, I don't

  159. want to be the blame that it fell apart.

  160. Uh huh.

  161. If the church went hayward, I don't want to be

  162. the blame that the church went hayward. If the company

  163. went down, I don't want to be the blame that's

  164. why the company went down.

  165. I want.

  166. I want to acknowledge and I want to confess and

  167. decloud that while I was there, while I was present,

  168. while I was there, while I was in the house,

  169. or in the relationship, that I gave uh the best

  170. of me that I had.

  171. Amen.

  172. And it may be given not only to God or

  173. to people, but it may be given to a task,

  174. maybe given to a test, maybe given to a trial,

  175. a project, a program, a job. But the truth of

  176. the matter is how it is to me to give

  177. the best that I got, Menisa right, I come to

  178. find out man? Growing up, I've always said and always

  179. had this testimony. I haven't ever been the best, you know,

  180. the best on the field, I haven't been the best

  181. in the church.

  182. I haven't been the best preacher. But the truth of the.

  183. Matter is even if I if I was in the game,

  184. you would recognize my impact because I was.

  185. There, hallelujah.

  186. Not that I was best the best, but I did

  187. give my best, uh huh that I had while I

  188. was involved. Yeah, yeah, yeah, even when I was Even

  189. when I play dumbinose ain't the best, but I act

  190. like it when I'm there. Come on, somebody, hallelujah. Hey man,

  191. you can have all of my enemies. Hallelujah. I ain't

  192. the best. They'll tell me, Man, you ain't the best

  193. at this. Come on, somebody, hallelujah. But before I leave, Ah,

  194. they know that I was there. I wonder that if

  195. you are in a relationship or taking care of a

  196. tax to if you was gone, if anybody would miss you.

  197. Oh God, let me ask that question.

  198. You know, some folks say, man, have been faithful, and

  199. you kind of know that they were missing, But people

  200. who ain't never really showed up. You really don't miss them,

  201. So you don't know if you really had an impact

  202. on an influence on that group of people on card

  203. that on that tax because you didn't give.

  204. The best that you had. Hallelujah.

  205. Tell your neighbors and neighbor, you got to give the

  206. best that you got, regardless of your situation. In your circumstance,

  207. you got to give the best that you got. Even

  208. in your conflict, you got to give the best that

  209. you got. Tell your neighbor, you got to give the

  210. best that you got, and tell me that experience is

  211. a good teacher. And when we think about giving the

  212. best that we got, then it's important for us to

  213. understand that this means, this means totally committed. If you're

  214. gonna give the best that you got, you got to

  215. be completely committed to what you're committed to. In other words,

  216. it requires that if you're in a relationship in God

  217. or with a particular task that is important, that you

  218. don't give twenty percent, you don't give thirty percent, but

  219. you give one hundred percent. And so that's why when

  220. when I look at marriages, I look at marriage marriages,

  221. not fifty fifty. Tell your neighbor marriages, not fifty fifty. Oh,

  222. y'all ain't gonna talk back to me. I say, it's

  223. not fifty to fifty. It's not sixty forty nine, thirty seventy.

  224. A man, when you get in a relationship, it's one

  225. hundred to one hundred. Come on, somebody, if you have

  226. and I don't, come on, we both have whatever it is.

  227. But when it comes to relationship, you got to give

  228. one hundred percent, hollydujah, all of the time.

  229. And I know you get tired and you get worn out.

  230. You want to get a one hundred percent when somebody's

  231. giving twenty in the relationship. But when you're fully committed

  232. and you're given the best that you've got and you're

  233. not going to be the blame for the relationship to

  234. fall apart. I wish I had somebody right there, hallelujah

  235. that despite of what you've given me, yet I can't

  236. help myself because of who I am and anything that

  237. I'm invested in. If I'm invested in it, then I'm

  238. gonna give one hundred percent of what I got. I

  239. tell your neighbor, you got to give a hundred man

  240. one hundred. Well, I'm talking to you right now, hallelujah, hallelujah.

  241. If you gonna want it to work, if you wanted

  242. to work, if you want to get to the outcome

  243. to where you're going, you're gonna have to be totally

  244. committed to whatever you committed to, and you got to

  245. give a hundred percent. Tell your neighbor give a hundred,

  246. give a hundred.

  247. The Bible the class that that we should be like

  248. a tree planted by the rivers of water. Come on, somebody,

  249. you gotta understand that you can't change me from my

  250. one hundred percent. You can't reduce me for who I

  251. am and what I give and what I bring to

  252. the table, because when I come, I bring everything I

  253. have in me to the table. He says I should

  254. be and you should be like a tree. I'll tell

  255. your neighbor, You're gonna be like a tree. Uh huh'm

  256. scripture saying plant it by the rivers of water that

  257. bring forth your what fruit in your season. Tell your

  258. neighbor get ready, cause your fruit is about to show up.

  259. Come on, tell them your harvest is about to show up.

  260. Gonna know who I'm talking to up in here. Your

  261. blessing is about to show up. Hallelujah. Don't think that

  262. you're gonna give God one hundred percent of what you

  263. got and you're not.

  264. Gonna receive one hundred fold.

  265. And you ain't got to wait to get the heaven

  266. to get it card till I'm gonna give it to.

  267. You right now. I'm gonna give your houses.

  268. I'm gonna give your cards, I'm gonna give your joy.

  269. I'm gonna give your peace. Oh God, I'm gonna give

  270. your luck. Tell your neighbor and say, neighbor, give the

  271. best that you got. Yeah, it's important that that if

  272. you're gonna give the best that you got, you gotta

  273. be totally to your neighbor, totally totally.

  274. Come on.

  275. I ain't in no rush, hallelujah. You gotta be totally

  276. come on. You gotta be totally, totally, totally, totally committed.

  277. If you gonna sing the song man singing with everything

  278. you got, If you're gonna play the instrument, do it

  279. with everything you got. If you're gonna pray, come on,

  280. quit tiptoeing on me. Hallelujah, hallelujah. I need a move

  281. from God. I need some deliverance. Hallelujah. I need you

  282. to give it everything that you got. Come on, somebody, hallelujah.

  283. I want you to pull out like a drink off

  284. none to me. I want you to be full in

  285. order to out car Come on, somebody, somebody, say give

  286. it one hundred, give you one hundred.

  287. Yeah, give me the best that you got.

  288. Is a process, your neighbor, is a process right now down,

  289. not the outcome.

  290. Oh.

  291. In other word, it focuses on the now. What are

  292. you doing now to get to where you're going? People

  293. are so more so concerned a brother price to get

  294. into the outcome that they don't start now. And if

  295. you don't start the now, you will never get to

  296. the income. The outcome hallelujah.

  297. In other words, you got to engage in order to

  298. gauge to know where you're going to the next step hallelujah.

  299. But if you don't, never put one step forward, you

  300. will never get to your destination.

  301. So it focuses on the now than in the outcome.

  302. In other words, you gotta get to the point that Hey,

  303. when it comes to this, is that if there's failure

  304. and I don't get to what I wanted my desire

  305. to be, at least I have a testimony that I

  306. gave it my own. Oh, come on, somebody, anybody being there, hallelujah.

  307. The thing didn't work out, but I still gave it.

  308. Oh God, I wish I had somebody hallelujah that I

  309. gave it my own.

  310. Huh huh. In other words, when you get to the

  311. end of the rope and you give, you have given

  312. to everything that you have. Hey man, you got to

  313. say to yourself, that's all I got. I can't give

  314. no more. I ain't gotting nothing else to exhaust. I

  315. wish I had somebody.

  316. Well, if you gonna give it all you got, you

  317. got to exhaust everything. Hallelujah. And you got to get

  318. to the place to know that. Hey man, I don't

  319. know what else to give. I don't giving you everything

  320. I got given the best of that. God means being consistent.

  321. It means showing up every time. And every time you

  322. show up, you present your bs. Some people show up,

  323. you just present. Oh God, come on, somebody, hallelujah, I say,

  324. some folks show up, you just present.

  325. You just taking up space. Hallelujah. But hallelujah.

  326. I like what Brother Prance would say, if you don't

  327. put nothing in it, you can't get nothing out of it.

  328. I wish I had a neighbor right there, hallelujah.

  329. Can I tell you again, if you don't put anything

  330. in and you can't get nothing out of it, what

  331. you put in come on somebody glory the car.

  332. It would be back, it would be pressed back to you.

  333. Good mess.

  334. You're pressed down, shaken together, and run it over. But

  335. you got to put something in it. You got to

  336. be consistent in it. And while you're present, be present. Hallelujah.

  337. Sometimes we're present, but our mind's is somewhere else.

  338. Oh, I wish I had a neighbor here. Hallelujah. You're here,

  339. but where are you had them? Where are you?

  340. You're here presently, but where are you are you tuned

  341. into God?

  342. Are you in the alignment regard? If you gotta be present?

  343. You got to be consistent every time, and then every

  344. time you show up, you are to present your best,

  345. say your neighbor, give the best that you've got, given

  346. the best that God means. Now that you overcome limitations,

  347. how many know that we got some limitations. That's some

  348. things that we don't do because we got fear, hallelujah.

  349. There's some things that we don't overcome because we got

  350. a shame about it. That's some things we fear, Holly Lord.

  351. There's some things that there's some limitation that we have

  352. because we have doubt. Hallelujah. But you're gonna have to

  353. go to extra mind. If you're gonna give it all

  354. that you got, tell your neighbors that neighbor, you gotta

  355. go to extra mound to realize your full potential. Ah,

  356. So giving it the best that God involves resilience. In

  357. other words, there's gonna be some situations in some circumstances

  358. that won't cash it down, but you got to have

  359. the ability to bounce back up. How many of them

  360. been cash down but been able to get up? Come on, somebody,

  361. how many know that the devil been in your way? Hallelujah,

  362. tried to stop you, but you kept on moving. Hallelujah.

  363. Oh I wish I had somebody. Sometimes you gotta bounce

  364. back hallelujah. Sometimes you got to recalculate. Sometimes you got

  365. to refocus. Sometimes you got to face the challenge. Sometime

  366. we want to run away from the challenges, but you

  367. got to face the challenges. You got to face the

  368. gimes in your life, because the challenges in your life

  369. is the next step to your elevation. You can't get

  370. to your elevation with have the challenges.

  371. I wish I had somebody up in here.

  372. Somebody put your hands together and keep card praise right there.

  373. Tell your neighbors, say, neighbor, you got to face the challenges.

  374. You got to face the giants in your life. You

  375. got to face the situation. Some things you can't pray on.

  376. Some things you got to keep because it's developing your

  377. camera to You won't be as strong as you are unless.

  378. You go through what you're going through.

  379. You won't be as wise as you are unless you

  380. go through what you're going through.

  381. You won't trust Gord like you trust God.

  382. You wouldn't know him Hallelujah like you know him unless

  383. you face the challenges.

  384. I thank God for the challenges.

  385. Oh God, come on, come on somebody, hallelujah. The Bible

  386. say't count it all, oh joy, when you're going through

  387. divers temptations and tribulation, whatever, because it's producing some patience

  388. in you. How many you need some patience to get

  389. to the next level. Hollynujah. You have need of patience

  390. that after you have done for will of card, throw

  391. it tarry, wait for it. I'm coming to tell you

  392. today that is child come to pass. Tell your neighbors, say, neighbor,

  393. it's chow come to pass.

  394. Ah a chow come to pass.

  395. And so when we look at the text, we look

  396. at this text and all is in a serious situation.

  397. He's in prison.

  398. Not only in prison, but he's the next person on

  399. their roads chopping block. And my god, he could do

  400. any and everything to stop progressing.

  401. He can do everything. That's just throw in the towel.

  402. And oftentimes when challenges come in our life, people have

  403. a tendency of easily throwing in the town or maybe

  404. if they don't throw in the tower passa j they

  405. they don't give them one hundred percent no more. They

  406. was excited when everything was ice cream and cookies.

  407. They was excited with the blessings.

  408. But as soon as the burden came some kind of way,

  409. it stopped their momentum. Oh God, I wish I had

  410. somebody hallelujah. And what they were putting in and not

  411. putting that in no more. Because of the challenges the

  412. apostle Paul was going through challenges.

  413. Not only here, he was going through challenges.

  414. His apostolic calling was challenged by the Church of Corinth.

  415. They said, man, you're not no preacher, hallelujah. And you

  416. would think that that would have stopped him, but yet

  417. he was still giving. He not oh the best that

  418. he had. Matter of fact, a sister Edlton, minister Edlton.

  419. They told him, man, you don't even speak well. You

  420. don't talk well you matter of fact, you talk like

  421. a baby. You rite better than you. And he says,

  422. don't worry about that, because see, I didn't come to

  423. you with excellent of speech. Come on, somebody, hallelujah. But

  424. I came, Callelujah, Glory to God, he said, I came

  425. Hallelujah in demonstration and the power of the Holygo tell

  426. your neighbors, say, neighbor, whatever you do, don't allow your

  427. limitations to exceed your expectation.

  428. Oh, let me say it again, don't allow.

  429. Your limitations to exceed your expectation. I thank God for Paul,

  430. because he says, for I know this, He said, I

  431. know this, that this thing that is happening to me

  432. is gonna turn out to my salvation. He says, there's

  433. some things that has been done for me that's pushing

  434. me hallelujah to that I may continue to give the

  435. best that I got. Let me tell you, v Ip,

  436. I couldn't give the best that I have if you

  437. wasn't praying.

  438. For me, Come on somebody. I wish I had.

  439. Somebody hot, little prayer, little power, some prayer, some power,

  440. but prayer power. Thank you for praying for me, the

  441. writer says, I thank you for your prayer. Not only

  442. for your prayer, but your supply of the Holy Ghost.

  443. In other words, when you pray, you're giving me more

  444. of the spirit of God that I may have boldness.

  445. Come on somebody, that it may induce my expectation and

  446. forget about my limitations. The problem with us is that

  447. we're looking at our limitations and we're not looking at

  448. costs expectations. I wish y'all somebody would give called or

  449. praise right now, Tell your neighbor again and say, don't

  450. allow your limitations to exceed your expectation. And say, for

  451. I know this shall turn. It's gonna turn because of

  452. my expectation. Whatever I'm going through, it's gonna turn. My

  453. My expectation tells me the outcome.

  454. He said. Not only that, but for my hope.

  455. My hope says, this is the process until I get

  456. to my expectation. In other words, you gotta keep hope

  457. alive until you come to the outcome of your expectation.

  458. And the body of the class that this shalped turn

  459. to my deliverance. Can I tell you that Paul faced

  460. some limitations. Yeah, he faced some limitations in the life

  461. that did not but he did not allow them to

  462. exceed his expectation.

  463. Tell your neighbor against the neighbor.

  464. Don't allow your limitations to exceed your expectations.

  465. Tell them, say neighbor, give the best that you got.

  466. It's important you understand that Paul faced some limitations. In

  467. other words, he faced some deficiencies in his physical being.

  468. Have anybody had some problems in your physical being? Come on, somebody,

  469. have you been sinking your body? Come on, somebody, hallelujah?

  470. Elements in your body that won't allow you to do

  471. what you want to do. Hallelujah. But let me just

  472. tell you the apostle Paul. Then just have it altogether.

  473. But he had some deficiencies even in his physical body.

  474. The Bible of the class here he says that he

  475. dealt with a thorn in the flesh. If there's anybody

  476. in here that even had to deal with a thrown

  477. in your flesh, come on, you tried to shake it,

  478. but you couldn't shake it off of it I wish

  479. I had somebody in here, somebody kept God praise right there.

  480. Sometime we're gonna deal with a thorn in our flesh

  481. and the Bible of the class.

  482. In Second Corinthianus.

  483. Twelve and seven, they say, lest I should be exalted

  484. above measure. He say, through the abundance of revelations, that

  485. was given to me a thorn in the flesh. He said,

  486. that was a messenger of Satan to buffet me. Lest

  487. I shall be exalted above measure. Can I tell you that?

  488. Often time, when you're being challenged, you're not being challenged

  489. by Satan, but God have allowed Satan to come.

  490. Come on somebody.

  491. Sometimes, He asked the question, have you can con is

  492. that somebody in here?

  493. Have you considered myself? I wonder if he gonna still

  494. give the best that he caught. He said, Job is

  495. a man that I called.

  496. But he has he has with he has held on

  497. to his integrity. Often, when you're going through whatever you're

  498. going through, you gotta hold on. Tell your neighbor you

  499. got the hold on, Tell them you got the hold

  500. on to your integrity. The way you started. You are

  501. to advance what you started and never turn back. Come

  502. on somebody. If anybody turned back, mother, you're not fit

  503. for the Kingdom of card. The devil wanna stop, you

  504. wanna block, you want to stop you from getting my

  505. car half for you. But you got to keep the

  506. momentum and keep on coin. And while you're goin, you

  507. got to give it the best that you caught. Tell

  508. your neighbors, say, neighbor, kive it the best that you got.

  509. You ah, yeah, yeah.

  510. Sometimes God play some things or allow some things on

  511. you the barble declass that sometimes you may be facing

  512. some things again that you can't shake. Collelujah. That's some

  513. things that you might go through. Let me say it again, hallelujah,

  514. that you can't shake. But you still got to give

  515. it the best that you got. Hallelujah. Paul prayed these

  516. three times. Hallelujah. He trying to shake this thing. But

  519. It ain't gonna move, but you gonna keep on moving.

  520. And I wish I had somebody that would give them

  521. card praise. Right there, Paul prayed the Bible of the

  522. class that Paul prayed these three times that he may

  523. shake this thing off of it. Tell your neighbors shake

  524. it off, shake it off, tell him shake it off,

  525. shake it off. Tell them shake it off, chake it off,

  526. shake it out. Tell them it ain't coming off though

  528. I know.

  529. Tell them on shake it off, shake it out. Tell

  530. them it ain't coming off though it ain't coming off.

  531. He said, don't worry about it while it's still on you.

  532. I'm looking for you to give the best that you got.

  533. Come on, because my grace. Oh I wish I had somebody.

  534. My grace is sufficient that where you're weak, my shit

  543. Oh I wish I had somebody. That understood costs grace

  544. and mercy that should follow me all the days my life.

  545. And I shall continue to.

  546. Kill Card everything the best that I caught, as long

  547. as I dwell in the House of the Lord. Somebody

  548. killed Card. Praise right there, hollandoja, Hollnelojah, halleloja, haleneloja. Oh

  564. Come on. His grace is sufficient.

  565. He concludes that when his grace is sufficient, I can

  566. still give God the best that I got. And so

  567. he says, when I when I got the revelation, somebody

  568. shot the revelation that when I'm weak his strength, it's

  569. very perfect.

  570. The thorn should have stopped me. Mother Johnson. Mother Johnson.

  572. at home. Oh had a thorn in a flesh, feet,

  573. swoll legs, wore, whatever the case may be, but it

  574. could have stopped her from coming to the House of

  575. the Lord. And not only did she show up, but

  576. she also taught Sunday school. And if we wouldn't have

  577. known that she was sitting in the chair, wouldn't haven't even.

  578. Known that her feet was swollen.

  579. I wonder if that's some folk that go through something

  581. go here, y'a ain't gonna help me. Come on, somebody, Hollyjjah,

  610. Some said to him in sacond Christians ten and ten.

  611. He said, but Paul, some of them letters that you wrote,

  612. they will waiting, and they were powerful. He say, but

  613. your bodily presence was weak, and your speech was contemptible.

  614. In other words, when you were speaking, it didn't have

  615. no weight. But Paul answered back, tell your neighbor, folks

  616. gonna criticize you, b don't let it stop you.

  617. Oh God, I wish I had somebody. Hallelujah.

  618. I say, folks gonna criticize you, but don't let it

  619. stop you. Paul testify first create in two three five.

  620. He says, I come to you in weakness. In other words,

  621. I know where I'm weak at, Hallelujah. I know where

  622. I'm shown at. I know where I have issues at, hallelujah.

  623. Matter of fact, before you criticized me, I was already

  624. my best critic. I wish I had somebody in here,

  625. because if you learn how to credit yourself and criticize

  626. yourself when other people talk about you, the problem with

  627. you is you got too much come on with somebody,

  628. too much pride you thank you all that in a

  629. bag of chips.

  630. No, you're not.

  631. You are to look in the mirror and say, you

  632. know what, I hadn't made a chance. There's still some

  633. things that God is working.

  634. Out in my life. I wish I had somebody. I'm

  635. not where I used to be, but I.

  636. Haven't come to a place where Cardon wants me to be.

  637. But my God, I'd rather be my best critic. Oh,

  638. clap your hands and give God praise. Hallelujah. He said,

  639. I come to you in weakness, and in weakness, and

  640. with great fear and tripling. He said, I understand my

  641. message and my preaching. What not with wise and persuasive words,

  642. he say, But we're a demonstration of the Spirit's power,

  643. so that the faith may not be rested upon human wisdom,

  644. but on God's power. Tell your neighbors and neighbor, his

  645. grace is sufficient till your neighbors say, give it the

  646. best that you got and then we look at it

  647. the third time. Paul did not allow these things to

  648. discourage him.

  649. Amen.

  650. In other words, all that he went through he allowed us.

  651. He did not allow his limitations to exceed his expectations.

  652. The Bible of the Class in Second Corinthian four and seven.

  653. But we have this treasure, have these treasure jaws of Clayton,

  654. to show that this all surpassing power. Tell your neighbor,

  655. the God is working in you. It's also working for you,

  656. the Bible of the Class. That greater is he that

  657. is in you than he that is in the world.

  658. He say, No matter what you're going through, you gotta

  659. steal give it the best that you got.

  660. He says, insangerine and foid. He says, we're a hard press.

  661. Tell your neighbor, I've been hard press, but I'm still

  662. giving God the best that I got. He said, we

  663. been hard pressed on every side. In other words, when

  664. I try to do good to the left, it turns

  665. out on the right. When I turn to the right,

  666. it turns to the left. When I look up there

  667. and it come down from the bottom of the bottom,

  668. it comes down from the top. But the truth of

  669. the matter is I'm still gonna give Card my best.

  670. Tell your neighbor, say neighbor, Old neighbor, Say, old neighbor.

  671. I'm gonna kive Card my best. I might be hard pressed,

  672. but I'm gonna kive Card my best. I might be down,

  673. I might be crushed, but I'm not perplex. I'm gonna

  674. give Card my best. Ah. I might be going through

  675. perse q, but I'm not abandoned. I'm gonna give Card

  676. my best. I might be shut down, but I'm not destroyed.

  677. Tell your neighbors, see neighbor, I will give Card my best.

  678. He has always carrying around in our bodies the death

  679. of Jesus Christ, so that the life of Jesus may

  680. also be revealed in our body. Tell your neighbor, see neighbor,

  681. give God your best. And if you're gonna give Card

  682. your best, you can't allow fear to paralyze your potential.

  683. Tell your neighbor that fear is after you, that fear

  684. is after your potential. But the Bible says and for

  685. Libyans one two. For me to live is Christ and

  686. to die is gain. But I live in this flesh.

  687. This heals the fruit of my labor. In other words,

  688. Paul was not afraid of that. That he wasn't afraid

  689. of that. He had a testimony for me to live

  690. his Christ and to die is game. Paul understood that

  691. fear was his opponent, that peel would paralyze it, that

  692. fear would suppress.

  693. His passion, that fear will freeze his cution.

  694. But by parting prostitution and procrastination, he made up his

  695. mind that he was gonna give Card his best.

  696. You got to make up your mind that no.

  697. Matter what I'm going through, I won't let fear paralyzed me.

  698. I won't let fear paralyzed my potential. In other words,

  699. Card that Paul said that Card is not giving us

  700. the spirit of fear, but a power, love and a

  701. sound mind. I wish I had somebody in here that

  702. hadn't perfect love that casts out all fear, because when

  703. you cast out all here, you can still do what

  704. Carl called you to do, no matter what your situation is.

  705. And that's why he said in second tivoenty four and six,

  706. he said, for now I'm ready. Tell your neighbors and

  707. neighbor get it ready to get ready. Tell him get

  708. ready and get ready. He say, for now, I'm ready

  709. to be opened up, and my time of the puncher

  710. is at hand.

  711. As I was then, so am I now what I

  712. went through in my past.

  713. Even though I'm going through what I'm going through now,

  714. I'm gonna kill card my past.

  715. Tell your name.

  716. I did it then and I'm gonna do it now,

  717. and nothing's gonna stop me. But the apostile Paul says,

  718. I'm gonna continue to do it until I come to

  719. my expectations. He said, I fall a good fight. He said,

  720. I finished my course. He said, I kept the faith.

  721. He said, I know there's a crown. Tell your neighbors,

  722. a neighbor, get it ready for your expectation to come

  723. to pass. There's a crown of righteousness here waiting on you.

  724. But you got to give in the best that you

  725. got it. Tell your neighbors, a neighbor, I'm giving it

  726. the best that I got it. And when I kill

  727. the best that I caught you, I won't allow confusion

  728. to delay my destiny. How far your neighbor, And tell

  729. your neighbor, don't allow confusion to delay your destiny.

  730. Come on and kill cod. Praise, kill cod, praise right there?

  731. Come on, you ain't praising somebody praise.

  732. It, I'm gonna be talking to me. But the Bible said,

  733. if Philippias one two being poser, yet, what shall I choose?

  734. I'm not gonna let confusion to lay my destiny.

  735. Somebody's shy, yes, somebody's shiners, somebody's shiny, yes, he.

  736. Said, what shall I choose? I wanna choose to be

  737. with Christ, and that far more better. But nevertheless, I'm

  738. gonna stay here with you because it's gonna help you
