GIVE GOD PRAISE. LORD, WE BLESS YOU.

WELCOME YOU. - YES, LORD.

- AND WE PRAY THAT YOU'D HAVE YOUR WAY AND YOUR SAY. AND ALL

THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE GOD SAID. - AMEN!

- WOW, OKAY, THAT WAS LOUD. - THAT WAS GOOD.

- THAT WAS PRETTY LOUD. - THAT WAS GOOD.

HOW MANY OF YOU THINK THAT WAS GOOD?

(CONGREGATION CHEERING)

- I'M ROOTING FOR YOU.

- ALL RIGHT, WHICH SECTION DID YOU THINK WON TODAY?

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

- THEY ALL WON. - YOU ALL THINK YOU WON.

ALL RIGHT, YOU'RE ALL WINNERS TODAY. NEBRASKA ISN'T THE

CORNHUSKERS, BUT YOU ARE, SO. YEAH, I KNOW, I KNOW.

HOW MANY OF YOU WATCHED FOOTBALL YESTERDAY?

- TOO MUCH. - I DID, I HAD A FOOTBALL DAY.

I KNOW, SOME OF YOU DON'T LIKE FOOTBALL.

- I HAVE TO STOP WATCHING SO I DON'T WANNA THROW SHOES AT THE

TELEVISION. I HAVE TO, I NEED TO WALK OFF SOME DAYS. I GET WAY

TOO INTO IT. - WELL, BUT I JUST LIKE TO

SOMETIMES HAVE THOSE TIMES WHERE YOU CAN JUST SHUT THINGS OFF

AND JUST WATCH A GOOD GAME. HOW MANY OF YOU WALK THE CAT?

WALK THE DOGS? TALK ABOUT, JOHN, TALKING ABOUT YOUR CARD. OKAY,

THANK YOU, BY THE WAY, PASTOR'S APPRECIATION.

- OH MY GOODNESS. - WE READ EVERY CARD WE PRAYED

OVER 'EM. - OH, WE CRIED ALL DAY.

IT WAS AMAZING. - WE DID. I GOT TO DO THIS

THOUGH. I WANT TO WELCOME ALSO ALL OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING

AROUND THE WORLD. I'M TALKING ABOUT PASTORS APPRECIATION.

YOU GUYS, EVEN AROUND THE WORLD, HAVE BEEN SO KIND AND SWEET.

WE'VE BEEN READING THEM, PRAYING OVER THEM. BUT I

GOT TO TELL YOU, TALKING ABOUT CATS, JOHN, YOU SENT YOUR CARD

WITH, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD LIKE WHAT, 18 CATS? NO YOU

HAVE FOUR. SO HE WAS LETTING ME KNOW THAT HE HAS CATS.

- WE HAVE FOUR DOGS, SO FAIR IS FAIR.

- YEAH, WELL, ANYWAY, AND ALL THOSE GELATO JOKES, THOSE WERE

GOOD. I LIKE THEM, I LIKE THEM. BUT ANYWAY, EVERYBODY DOING

GOOD? WELL, I GOT TO TELL YOU THIS. I MEAN, THIS IS

KIND OF A, HOW DO WE SAY IT, BRENDA? A YEAR AGO, WE DEDICATED

THIS HOUSE TO GOD. ISN'T THAT AMAZING? THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING. - THAT'S PRETTY COOL.

- SO I THINK WE SHOULD DO THIS REAL QUICK. I

THINK WE SHOULD JUST TELL GOD, THANK YOU.

- YES, THANK YOU, LORD. - CAN WE DO THAT? LET'S DO THAT.

FATHER, WE JUST WANT TO SAY THIS IS YOUR HOUSE. AND OVER

A YEAR AGO, WE INVITED YOU AND YOUR PRESENCE TO DWELL AMONG US.

- YES, LORD. - WE ASKED YOU TO COME AND WE

GAVE THIS PLACE TO YOU AND FOR YOUR HONOR. AND I KNOW YOU LIKE

IT AND WE LIKE HAVING YOU HERE.

- YES, WE DO, LORD. - AND GOD, I WANT TO THANK YOU

THAT YOU DIDN'T DISAPPOINT US WHEN WE CRIED OUT FOR YOUR

PRESENCE. EVERY TIME YOU'RE HERE, AND WE'RE SO THRILLED

THAT THIS IS YOUR HOUSE AND WE ARE YOUR PEOPLE.

AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT REALLY LOVE HIM,

JUST TELL THEM, SAY, "THANK YOU, GOD."

- YES, THANK YOU, LORD.

- OKAY, WELL, I DON'T HAVE ANY JOKES, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING,

BUT I'M JUST GONNA PREACH THE MESSAGE LATER ON.

- YOU HAVE NO JOKES? - I HAVE NO JOKES, BRENDA.

- OKAY. - NO, I DON'T, WELL, COME ON,

LIKE, YOU GUYS NEVER LAUGH WHEN I DO.

- WELL, THAT IS NO JOKE. - WELL, I DID HEAR A RUMOR.

I DID HEAR A RUMOR, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, THAT YOU

GUYS HEAR ABOUT THE ARREST THAT HAPPENED AT THE AIRPORT?

YEAH, THESE GUYS, THEY WENT AND THEY DECIDED TO DRESS UP LIKE

LUGGAGE, AND THEY GOT ARRESTED FOR GETTING CARRIED AWAY.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

ALL RIGHT, I TOLD YOU, IF YOU WERE GONNA BOO ME, I'M NOT GONNA

TELL 'EM. (LAUGHING) - OKAY, ALL RIGHT, WELL.

- ALL RIGHT, LET ME GET IT SPIRITUAL BEFORE WE WORSHIP,

REAL QUICK. I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING, I KNOW YOU'RE PROBABLY PUTTING THUMBS DOWN, IT'S OKAY.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN PUT THE THUMBS UP.

BUT I AM GONNA TALK AGAIN ABOUT WHAT I CALL THE FOUNDATION

OF OUR CHRISTIAN WALK, AND THAT IS LOVE AND HONOR.

AND WE'RE GONNA KIND OF DIVE INTO THAT, AND I THINK YOU'RE

REALLY, REALLY GOING TO JUST, YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN WANTING

IS TO GO TO ANOTHER LEVEL, AND I FEEL LIKE IN MY OWN LIFE,

I'M LOOKING AT WAYS THAT I CAN BE MORE HONORABLE,

AND I'M LOOKING FOR WAYS THAT I CAN BE MORE

LOVING TO GOD AND TO OTHER PEOPLE.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA SHARE TODAY.

- IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME. ARE YOU EXCITED FOR THAT?

ALL RIGHT, WELL, ARE YOU EXCITED?

BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, ARE YOU EXCITED TO WORSHIP THE LORD?

I THINK SINCE IT'S BEEN ONE YEAR THAT WE'VE BEEN

IN THIS BEAUTIFUL SPACE, I THINK WE OUGHT TO GIVE

GOD OUR BEST PRAISE TODAY. SO THROW THOSE HANDS UP TO HEAVEN.

SAY, LORD, MARK IT DOWN. I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU MY BEST PRAISE

TODAY. I'M TURNING OFF MY WEEK. I'M TURNING OFF EVERYTHING

AROUND ME, AND I'M FOCUSED STRAIGHT ON YOU. SO LORD,

FILL THIS PLACE, FILL MY LIFE, AND I PROMISE TO GIVE

YOU MY VERY BEST PRAISE. LET'S PRAISE THE LORD TOGETHER.

I FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOMEBODY RIGHT OVER IN THIS AREA HERE,

YOU'VE HAD SOME INTENSE VERTIGO. TO WHERE, I MEAN, DIZZINESS,

ALL OF THAT. WHO IS, IT'S JUST, I FEEL LIKE IT'S RIGHT OVER

IN THIS AREA RIGHT HERE, WHERE I'M FEELING DIRECTED.

WHO IS THAT? YOU SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, PASTOR HANK, PRAY FOR ME.

I JUST SENSE IT'S OVER IN THIS AREA HERE.

RAISE YOUR HAND IF THAT'S YOU.

OKAY, I WANT PASTOR DOUG, I WANT YOU TO, AND EILEEN, PRAY

FOR THIS ONE, PASTOR KEITH. THERE'S A WOMAN TO MY LEFT WITH

THE SAME THING. WHERE IS THAT PERSON? COME ON UP HERE.

EILEEN, YOU COULD PRAY FOR THEM AS WELL.

IN FACT, THERE'S SOMEBODY YOU'RE WATCHING. I SEE YOU

IN A, LIKE A CHAIR, AND YOU HAVE TO HOLD YOUR HEAD A

CERTAIN WAY BECAUSE OF THE VERTIGO THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING AS

WELL. SO IN THE AUTHORITY OF YESHUA'S NAME, WE SPEAK AND

WE DECLARE. FIRST OF ALL, WE COME AGAINST ANY VERTIGO,

ANYTHING THAT IS CREATING DIZZINESS, ANYTHING THAT IS

CORRECT, CAUSING YOUR EQUILIBRIUM OR THAT FEELING

OF THAT MOTION, IN THE NAME OF YESHUA, WE REBUKE IT AND

WE SPEAK THE DIVINE HEALING POWER OF GOD, "BE THOU

HEALED." ANY SINUS INFECTION, ANYTHING THAT

WOULD CAUSE VERTIGO, WE COMMAND IT TO BE CORRECTED

AND TO BE HEALED IN THE NAME OF YESHUA. RINGING IN THE

EARS EVEN, LORD WE SAY THAT THAT IS HEALED. IN FACT,

THERE'S SOMEBODY WATCHING, YOU'VE BEEN HAVING AN

INTENSE RINGING IN YOUR LEFT EAR. AND I SEE GOD JUST

HEALING YOU LIKE RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, I REALLY FEEL IT.

LORD, WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU.

SOMEBODY IS BEING HEALED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT, IT'S LIKE

YOU'VE BEEN FEELING A PAIN. YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM, BUT

YOU'RE ALSO ONLINE. IT'S LIKE, AND I DON'T MEAN TO BE

GRAPHIC, BUT IT'S ALMOST LIKE FROM YOUR BELLY BUTTON

JUST ABOVE IT. AND IT KIND OF GOES DOWN BELOW YOUR

BELLY BUTTON. THERE'S BEEN A DISCOMFORT AND YOU'RE KIND

OF THINKING, MAN, IS THAT A HERNIA? YOU KNOW, OH NO. YOU

KNOW, AND THE ENEMY HAS BEEN MESSING WITH YOU. BUT I'M

TELLING YOU, PUT YOUR HAND THERE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I

JUST LITERALLY SAW SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW IF I

DON'T GET I'M NOT A DOCTOR, BUT I JUST SAW SOMETHING

LIKE GET MOVED, SOMETHING MOVED AND AND GOT REALIGNED.

SO IF THAT'S YOU, JUST, YOU KNOW, PUT YOUR HAND ON THAT

AREA. IN THE NAME OF YESHUA, WE DEMAND THAT ANYTHING THAT

IS CAUSING PAIN AND DISCOMFORT, NOT ONLY IN

THIS, BUT ALL THOSE THAT ARE LISTENING IN THE SOUND OF MY

VOICE. JESUS, YOU TOOK THE PEOPLE'S PAIN AND THEIR

DISCOMFORTS, THEIR SORROWS, THEIR GRIEFS. AND YOU YOU

TOOK IT. THAT THEY'RE HEALED. THANK YOU, LORD.

THANK YOU, LORD. THANK YOU, LORD. WE WORSHIP YOU. THANK

YOU, LORD. THANK YOU, LORD. I WANT YOU JUST TO SAY THIS

WITH ME. SAY, GOD, TODAY AFRESH, WE DEDICATE OUR

HEARTS AND OUR LIVES TO YOU. WE SERVE YOU, WE HONOR YOU,

WE LOVE YOU, AND WE WILL DO WHAT YOU SAY AND WHAT YOU

DESIRE FOR OUR LIVES. WE SURRENDER, WE SUBMIT, AND WE

SAY, "LET THY KINGDOM COME. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE IN OUR

LIVES AS IT HAS BEEN DECREED, WRITTEN, AND

RECORDED WITHIN HEAVEN." WE WILL FINISH OUR RACE IN OLD

AGE, AND WE'LL FINISH IT WELL. AND ALL THE PEOPLE

THAT BELIEVE THAT SAID, "AMEN." AMEN. THANK YOU.

ISN'T GOD GOOD? ALL RIGHT. WELL, I WANT YOU TO GREET

ONE ANOTHER, BUT WE GOT TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING YOU CAN

ASK THEM. SO LET'S SEE. SAY, I BET I KNOW WHAT YOUR

FAVORITE TOY WAS AS A KID. ALL RIGHT. AND IF IT WAS

STICKS, THAT'S OKAY. SOME PEOPLE, THEY DIDN'T HAVE

TOYS WHEN THEY GREW UP. SOME OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, YOU

DIDN'T HAVE TOYS, SO YOU HAD MUD AND STICKS AND, YOU KNOW,

TREE LIMBS. OKAY, WE GREET YOU AS WELL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.

(GENTLE MUSIC) (CROWD CHATTERING) (UPBEAT MUSIC)

- WELL, GOOD MORNING. DID YOU GET ANY IDEAS ON WHAT

YOU COULD GO LOOK FOR FOR YOUR KIDS SINCE, YOU KNOW,

YOUR FAVORITE TOYS, YOU'D GO LOOK ON EBAY, MAYBE YOU FIND

THERE, ANYWAY. PASTOR MIKE TOLD ME GI JOE, SOME OF YOU

PROBABLY REMEMBER THOSE. IT'S KIND OF THE MALE

VERSION OR BOY VERSION OF BARBIE. IT'S GI JOE. ALL THE

ACCESSORIES. IT'S FUN STUFF. WELL, IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST

TIME IN THE BUILDING WITH US, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU

FEEL WELCOME. I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU RECEIVED A

BLUE GIFT BAG WHEN YOU CAME INSIDE THE DOOR. IF YOU DID

NOT, PLEASE WAVE YOUR HAND AND I'M SURE THEY HAVE THOSE

AVAILABLE FOR YOU. INSIDE THE BLUE GIFT BAG, THERE'S

LOTS OF GOODIES WE'VE TUCKED IN THERE FOR YOU, AS WELL AS

A GUEST REGISTRY PACKET. SO IF YOU WOULD PULL THAT OUT

AT THIS TIME, IT HAS A PICTURE OF THE STAGE ON THE

FRONT OF IT. SO INSIDE THAT, THERE'S SOME INFORMATION WE

WANNA SEND HOME WITH YOU, AS WELL AS A BRIGHT ORANGE STAY

CONNECTED CARD. GO AHEAD AND TEAR THAT OFF, FILL IT OUT,

DROP IT IN THE OFFERING BASKET WHEN IT COMES BY IN

JUST A FEW MOMENTS. WE JUST WANNA SEND YOU A THANK YOU

PROGRAMMING, AS WELL AS SEE US ON LOTS OF DIFFERENT

PLATFORMS, AS THEY JUST HAD UP THERE. SOME NEW PLATFORMS

WE'VE PUT OUT THERE FOR YOU TO CONNECT WITH US ON. SO IF

YOU WANNA USE SOME OF YOUR TV PLATFORMS, WHETHER IT BE

SAMSUNG OR LG, WE'VE ALSO GOT APPLE TV PLUS NOW.

VIZIO, WE'RE OUT THERE ON VIZIO AS WELL. SO YOU CAN

DOWNLOAD ALL OF THOSE APPS TO ALL OF THOSE SPECIFIC

DEVICES. AND GET ACCESS TO ONE VOICE TV, WHICH IS OUR

STREAMING PLATFORM. WE CANNOT BE CANCELED ON THAT.

AND WE HAVE LOTS OF GREAT CONTENT OUT THERE FOR YOU.

NOT ONLY SERVICES, BOTH LIVE AND ARCHIVED, BUT MANY OTHER

PROGRAMS AS WELL. DAILY DECREE, GET REAL WITH HANK,

GAME CHANGERS, ALL OF THAT IS OUT THERE FOR YOU TO

WATCH ON DEMAND, AS WELL AS WE HAVE A SCHEDULE OUT THERE

AS WELL. SO PLEASE, TUNE INTO ONE VOICE TV, DOWNLOAD

THE NEW APP. IF YOU'VE GOT THE APP, GO AHEAD AND UPDATE

WANT TO MAKE SURE TO GET YOU THE LATEST AND GREATEST.

WE'VE GOT SOME CHAT FEATURES IN THERE, A NOTES FEATURE.

SO PLEASE GET OUT THERE, GET BLESSED BY ONE VOICE TV. IF

YOU WOULD, AMEN. GIVE ALL THE GUESTS HERE AN ONLINE

HAND. AS PASTOR BRENDA COMES.

- AMEN. ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'LL BE AS BRIEF AS

POSSIBLE. WE HAVE SOME BEAUTIFUL LITTLE ONES BEING

DEDICATED TODAY. I SEE BABY NOVA ON THE FRONT IN A DRESS

THAT COULD STOP THE SHOW. SO SHE'S READY FOR HER SPECIAL

DAY. SO, AND I THINK SHE HAS MORE HAIR THAN BOTH OF Y'ALL

COMBINED. I'M PRETTY SURE. I'M PRETTY SURE. ALL RIGHT,

WELL, PRAISE THE LORD. WELL, JUST A COUPLE QUICK

ANNOUNCEMENTS BEFORE WE GET INTO THE OFFERING. I WANT TO

REMIND EVERYBODY, THE 26TH OF OCTOBER, WE HAVE JOHN

AMACHUKWU COMING. AND I'M TELLING YOU, COME LOADED AND

READY, BECAUSE I'M SURE HE'LL HAVE THIS VERY SOFT,

PASSIVE WORD THAT HE WOULD LOVE TO SHARE HERE. SO, AND

YOU KNOW WHAT WE ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE, LISTEN, SOMETIMES

THE MORE FIRED UP YOU ARE, THE MORE PEOPLE GET INTO IT.

IT'S LIKE ONE PREACHER SAID ONE TIME, THE HARDER I,

THERE WAS A PREACHER CAME TO LORD OF HOSTS, THIS WAS MANY

YEARS AGO. AND HE SAID, "MAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT

IS ABOUT THIS CHURCH. THE HARDER I PREACH, THE MORE

YOU GUYS AMEN." I THOUGHT, "WELL, HE CAME TO THE RIGHT

PLACE." SO THAT'S ON THE 26TH. AND THEN THAT

FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY, THE 29TH, WE'RE DOING ONLINE

ONLY EVENT, RESCUING A GENERATION, WHERE WE ARE

GOING TO BE PRAYING OVER PRAYER REQUESTS FOR YOUR

CHILDREN, YOUR YOUNG PEOPLE, COULD BE ADULT CHILDREN,

PRODIGALS, AND WE'RE MAKING AVAILABLE THE PRAYER GUIDE

THAT NIGHT. NOW WE'RE GONNA MAKE THIS COMPLETELY FREE

FOR THOSE THAT CALL IN, AND WE'RE GONNA ACTUALLY BE

TAKING CALLS. PASTOR'S GONNA TAKE SOME CALLS, SO YOU

WANNA, HE CAN'T TALK TO EVERYBODY, BUT WE'RE GONNA

TRY TO JUMP ON THE PHONES A LITTLE BIT AND THEN HAVE

INTERCESSION GOING ON IN THIS BUILDING, PRAYING FOR

YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS. WE'RE GONNA PUT PRAYER REQUESTS

RIGHT UP ON THE TABLES. SO GET THOSE SUBMITTED AT

HANKANDBRENDA.ORG, AND REMEMBER, FOR THOSE OF YOU

THAT ATTENDED IN PERSON, THAT WEDNESDAY NIGHT IS

ONLINE ONLY, SO TUNE IN AT SEVEN O'CLOCK, AND WE'RE

GONNA BE GOING ALL EVENING LONG TALKING ABOUT THE

CHILDREN'S MATERIAL. NOW, IF YOU'VE BEEN LISTENING, WE

HAVE A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY RIGHT NOW TO TAKE THE NEXT

THREE STORIES OF CAPTAIN ZEPTO INTO ANIMATION, AND

FOR LIKE A THIRD OF THE COST. YOU KNOW, HOW MANY OF

YOU REMEMBER US TALKING ABOUT THESE VIDEOS TO DO A

FULL-LENGTH VIDEO? IT'S ABOUT $300,000. AND THE

REASON CARTOONING AND ANIMATION IS SO EXPENSIVE,

AND I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER, PAUL CROUCH WOULD, HE SAID

IT TO ME ONE TIME, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS,

BUT HE SAID FOR EVERY SECOND OF VIDEO, THERE'S LIKE 30

FRAMES. IT'S INCREDIBLE. THEY HAVE TO DRAW, SO THESE

ARE TEDIOUS WORK. AND SO, BUT NOW, WITH THE

ADVANCEMENT OF AI, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY IN FRONT OF

US. WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF ADJUSTING TO DO AND

TWEAKING WITH IT, BUT WE COULD DO IT FOR ABOUT A

THIRD OF THE PRICE. AND SO, I BELIEVE THAT NIGHT, AS WE

PRAY FOR THIS GENERATION, LET'S BELIEVE WE CAN RAISE

THAT AND GET THAT DONE AND GET THESE GOING. AND IT'S

NOT OUT OF THE REALM OF REASON FOR US TO GET THE

NEXT VIDEO DONE NEAR THE FIRST PART OF 2026. NOW,

SOME OF THE OTHERS, NOW THEY'RE READY TO GO.

SCREENWRITERS ARE WORKING ON THOSE. AND THEN WHAT OUR

GOAL IS, IF WE CAN GET FOUR OR FIVE OF THESE FINISHED,

OUR GOAL WOULD BE THAT IT WOULD, THAT WOULD BE THE

ENTRY LEVEL OF WHAT IT WOULD TAKE. PASTOR WILL MAYBE TALK

ABOUT IT IN A MINUTE. THAT'LL BE THE ENTRY LEVEL

OF WHAT IT WILL TAKE FOR US TO GET IT LIKE ON THESE

OUTLETS LIKE PUREFLEX. BUT THEY REQUIRE YOU HAVE, YOU

JUST CAN'T HAVE ONE VIDEO. YOU NEED A SERIES OF VIDEOS.

AND THEY'LL RE-AIR THOSE. SO THE MORE WE CAN PUT OUT,

COME ON SOMEBODY, THE BETTER IT'S GOING TO BE. AND

PARENTS CAN PUT THEIR CHILDREN TO WATCH IT, AND

THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY THAT THERE'S A SECRET

WITCHCRAFT SPELL IN THERE, THAT THEY'RE NOT TUCKING

SOMETHING IN THERE TO TRY TO WARP THE MINDS OF OUR

CHILDREN. SO YOU'LL JUST BE A PART OF THAT NIGHT, AND

REMEMBER, WE'RE GOING TO BE GIVING THESE PRAYER GUIDES

AWAY, AND TUNE IN. ALL THE PRAYER REQUESTS ARE GOING TO

BE HERE, AND THEN TONY SUAREZ IS GOING TO BE HERE,

HELPING US PRAY AND PREACH TO THIS GENERATION. SO BE

WATCHING FOR THAT ON THE 29TH, AND IT'S GOING TO BE

JUST AMAZING. THEN ALSO, OMAHA VICTORY CAMPAIGN.

WHO'S EXCITED FOR THAT? ARE YOU GUYS SIGNED UP? WE'RE

VERY, EXCITED. BROTHER COPELAND, YOU KNOW, HE BEGAN

HIS MINISTRY. HE'LL TELL YOU MANY STORIES ABOUT OMAHA,

NEBRASKA. AND BACK IN, I GUESS IT WAS THE 60S, OR I

DON'T KNOW IF I CAN GET IT RIGHT. SOME OF THE BAND MAY

REMEMBER THAT TIME. I MEAN, BACK, IT WAS A LONG TIME

AGO. HE TOLD, YOU KNOW, ABOUT HE AND BROTHER JERRY

USED TO COME HERE, AND WAY BEFORE I EVER HEARD OF HIM.

AND SO, ISN'T IT, TO ME, FULL CIRCLE, THAT HE'S

COMING BACK HERE IN THIS STAGE OF HIS MINISTRY. I

FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE. THE TIMING OF

THE LORD IS VERY PROFOUND TO ME. AND OF COURSE, JONATHAN

SHUTTLESWORTH WILL BE HERE, KEITH BUTLER. AND BY THE

WAY, BISHOP KEITH BUTLER IS GOING TO BE STAYING OVER TO

PREACH THAT SUNDAY. AND SO JUST BE HERE. YOU KNOW, I

HEARD GLORIA COPELAND SAY, MANY YEARS AGO, I MUST HAVE

BEEN, YOU KNOW, 15 OR 16 YEARS OLD IN HIGH SCHOOL

WHEN I WAS FIRST INTRODUCED TO THEM. AND SHE SAID, YOU

KNOW, THERE ARE JUST MOMENTS WHERE IT'S GOOD TO COME INTO

A ROOM, AND JUST FOR SEVERAL HOURS BE SPOON FED GOD'S

WORD. AND I NEVER FORGOT THAT. AND SO YOU KNOW, EVER

SINCE THEN, I TAKE EVERY MESSAGE AS SERIOUS AS I CAN.

AND BECAUSE THAT, AND IT WAS THAT IMPARTATION. SO ANNA,

PLUS, WE WANT TO HONOR HIM FOR THE MAN THAT HELPED MAKE

THE PLATFORM FOR THE LAUNCH OF THE THING WE KNOW AS

FLASHPOINT. SO PRAISE THE LORD. SO BE PART OF THAT AS

WELL. IT'S GONNA BE AMAZING. ALL RIGHT, VERY QUICKLY, OUR

OFFERING SCRIPTURE. OUR OFFERING SCRIPTURE, IT'S A

REALLY, REALLY LONG ONE TODAY. AND IT'S PROBABLY

SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WORDS YOU WILL READ IN ALL

THE BIBLE. LET'S PUT OUR SCRIPTURE UP. MARK 11 AND

VERSE 22. IT'S REALLY LONG, AND I'M ONLY GOING TO EVEN

READ THE LAST FOUR WORDS. HAVE FAITH IN GOD. COME ON

SOMEBODY, SAY IT WITH ME. SAY HAVE FAITH IN GOD. NOW

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FINANCIAL

SCRIPTURES YOU'LL EVER READ IN YOUR LIFE. YOU KNOW WHY

PEOPLE DON'T TITHE AND STRUGGLE TO GIVE OFFERINGS?

BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY FAITH IN GOD. AND I WAS

READING THE STORY OF JUST THIS WEEK ABOUT WHEN I WAS

WORKING ON MY BOOK AND WAS READING ABOUT WHEN THE

DISCIPLES WERE IN THE BOAT AND IT WAS STORMING. YOU

KNOW, WE KNOW THAT STORY. WE'VE ALL PREACHED IT EVERY

WHICH WAY, BUT SUNDAY. AND I'M TELLING YOU, AND I WAS

THINKING ABOUT JESUS TURNING TO THEM AND SAYING, "HOW

COME HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY FAITH?" NOW, YOU KNOW,

HERE'S HIS DISCIPLES. YOU'LL SEE THIS WHEN THE BOOK COMES

OUT. HERE'S THESE DISCIPLES SOAKING WET, EXHAUSTED. THEY

HAD JUST FED THE MULTITUDES. THEIR BOAT WAS FILLED WITH

WATER. THINK ABOUT THAT, 'CAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS, NOW

THE BOAT WAS NOW FULL. ALL I KNOW IS THAT IF A BOAT IS

FULL OF WATER, IT'S BAD. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

THEIR BOAT IS GETTING BEATEN. AND THE SCRIPTURE

SAYS THERE WAS OTHER LITTLE SHIPS THERE. REMEMBER? IF

YOU READ IT, IT SAID THERE WERE ALSO OTHER LITTLE

SHIPS. I DON'T KNOW IF THEIR COLLEAGUES WERE OVER THERE,

IF THEY KNEW THOSE PEOPLE, AND THEY'RE LIKE, "OH,

THAT'S JOE'S BOAT." YOU KNOW? AND THEY WERE, AND SO,

AND JESUS, IF YOU WILL, I'LL SAY IT THIS WAY, IN THEIR

MINDS, HAS THE AUDACITY TO TURN AROUND, AND YOU KNOW,

THEY REALLY ACCUSE THE LORD. YOU KNOW, THEY BLAME GOD.

LORD, DON'T YOU CARE THAT WE'RE DYING UP HERE WHILE

YOU'RE BACK THERE LAYING DOWN? HOW MANY OF YOU EVER

BEEN THERE WHERE YOU THOUGHT, "GOD, DO YOU EVEN

CARE WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW? "DO YOU SEE ANY

OF THIS?" BUT YOU KNOW, THEY WERE IN A FAITH TEST. EVERY

PERSON, LISTEN TO ME, WILL GO THROUGH FAITH TESTS IN

THEIR LIFE. DO YOU TRUST GOD OR IS IT JUST WORDS? DO WE

REALLY TRUST HIM WHEN IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT THE WINDS

ARE BLOWING OUR WAY? NOW THIS IS A BIG DEAL WHEN IT

COMES TO OUR MONEY 'CAUSE JESUS SAID OUR MONEY AND OUR

MOUTH, OUR MONEY AND OUR HEART, THEY GO TOGETHER. SO

JESUS TURNS TO THE DISCIPLES AND HE SAYS, "WELL, HOW IS

IT THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY FAITH?" I'M LIKE, "LORD, DID

YOU SEE WHAT WE JUST WENT THROUGH? "YOU SEE WHAT WE

JUST FACED?" AND HE SAID, "HOW IS IT YOU HAD NO

FAITH?" AND SO I JUST WANNA PROPHESY TO YOU TODAY. I

DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH. I DON'T KNOW

WHAT YOUR FINANCIAL STORY IS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS

GOING ON IN YOUR HEART OR YOUR LIFE OR YOUR MARRIAGE

OR YOUR CHILDREN. MAYBE IT'S YOUR JOB, YOUR BUSINESS. I

DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT I'M HERE TO

PROPHESY TO YOU. HAVE FAITH IN GOD. COME ON SOMEBODY,

HAVE FAITH IN GOD. I'M GONNA SAY IT AGAIN. HAVE FAITH IN

GOD. COME ON SOMEBODY OUT HERE, STAND UP AND SHOUT IT.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD. COME ON, SAY IT AGAIN. HAVE FAITH IN

GOD. WOO. OH, DON'T STOP. NOW TURN TO SOMEBODY AND

LOOK AT 'EM AND SAY, YOU GOT ANY FAITH?

- PROPHESY TO HIM FOR A MINUTE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT

YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON

WITH YOU, BUT YOU GOT FAITH. I'M TELLING YOU, AND YOU

KNOW WHAT I'VE COME TO LEARN. PASTOR DOJI, YOU KNOW

WHAT I'VE COME TO LEARN. KATIE, YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE

COME TO LEARN. JUDITH, YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE COME TO

LEARN. MAMA K, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE COME TO LEARN?

HAVING FAITH DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN YOU FEEL IT. ANYBODY

LISTENING TO ME RIGHT NOW? HAVING FAITH DOESN'T ALWAYS

MEAN YOU FEEL IT. IN FACT, WHEN YOU HAVE FAITH, MOST OF

THE TIME YOU'RE SOAKING WET IN THE BOAT, SCOOPING WATER

OUT. COME ON, TRYING TO THROW THE FISH OUT. SEA

CRABS HAVE CLIMBED IN. YOU'RE THROWING THE PINCHERS

BACK OUT IN THE OCEAN. COME ON, THE DEVIL COMES IN EVERY

SIDE. THE CLOUDS ARE BLACK. YOU DON'T FEEL IT, BUT WHEN

YOU HAVE FAITH IN GOD, YOU SAY IT, YOU DECLARE IT. YOU

MAY NOT FEEL ANY OF IT. YOU MAY NOT SEE THE ANSWER, BUT

YOU HAVE FAITH IN GOD. AND THAT CONCLUDES YOUR OFFERING

MESSAGE. OH, I THINK WE NEED A PRAISE BREAK. I THINK WE

NEED A PRAISE BREAK. I THINK I WANT TO SEE IF THERE'S

SOME PEOPLE WHO GOT SOME FAITH IN GOD. WHO GOT SOME

FAITH IN THE LORD. I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE'S SOME FOLKS

WHO GOT SOME FAITH. COME ON I WANT TO KNOW. I WANT TO

KNOW IF THERE'S SOME FOLKS THAT GOT SOME FAITH IN

ALMIGHTY GOD. OH, OH, OH, OH. (CHEERING) WHOO, T, I

COULD RUN. (CONGREGATION CLAPPING)

- OH, LET'S JUST GIVE HIM A PRAISE. LET'S JUST GIVE HIM

A PRAISE. COME ON, LET'S JUST GIVE HIM A PRAISE. COME

ON, SOMEBODY. GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE. ANYBODY GOT SOME

FAITH IN GOD? ANYBODY GOT SOME FAITH IN GOD? ANYBODY

GOT SOME FAITH? ANYBODY GOT A LITTLE BIT OF FAITH IN GOD?

[MUSIC PLAYING] ♪ WORSHIP MUSIC ♪

[CHEERING] PUT THE GIVING INFORMATION UP.

ALL RIGHT, THERE'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY. PUT SOME FAITH

IN HIM. PUT SOME FAITH IN GOD AND YOUR GIVING TODAY.

GLORY, GLORY, GLORY, GLORY, GLORY. MY GOD, THE DEVIL

JUST TOOK A WHOOPING. COME ON, SOME OF YOU NEED TO GET,

WHILE YOU'RE WRITING YOUR ENVELOPE AND GETTING YOUR

APP OUT. MY DAD MADE THIS SPANKING PADDLE. WHEN WE

WERE GROWING UP, PASTOR CHRISTY AND I, HE WENT AND

CARVED IT OUT OF PLYWOOD AND DOUBLED IT THICK. AND HE

WROTE IN BLACK MARKER, "MOM'S HELPER." AND EVERY

TIME MOM NEEDED A LITTLE HELP WITH REBELLION, SHE'D

PULL IT OUT AND THERE WAS THE MESSAGE, "MOM'S HELPER."

CAN I TELL YOU WHAT YOUR PRAISE DID TODAY? IT WAS

PAPA GOD'S HELPER TO GIVE THE DEVIL A WHOOPING. AMEN!

ALL RIGHT, IF YOU GOT YOUR OFFERING READY, I GOTTA BE

QUIET. I'M GLAD I WORE GOOD PRAISING SHOES TODAY. I PRAY

FATHER, ALL THOSE THAT ARE GIVING TODAY, MAY THERE BE A

SPECIAL GRACE, A SPECIAL ANOINTING OF FAVOR THAT

BUSTS OPEN NEW DOORS NOW AND THAT BREAKS ANYTHING THAT

THE ENEMY IS TRYING TO DO AGAINST THEM. WE RELEASE

YOUR BLESSING OVER THIS OFFERING. OH GOD, EVEN AS

THERE WAS AN EXPRESSION OF LIBERTY, EXPRESSION OF JOY,

GOD, I BELIEVE THAT THAT IS A MANIFESTATION BECAUSE OF

FRUITFUL SEASONS THAT ARE AMONG YOUR PEOPLE NOW. COME

ON, IF YOU BELIEVE THAT, GIVE GOD A BIG SHOUT OF

PRAISE. WE WORSHIP YOU, WE LOVE YOU. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

AMEN. ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR AND SAY,

I'M MORE BLESSED THAN YOU. (LAUGHING) IF YOU WANNA

GET IN A FIGHT, DON'T DO THAT. JUST SAY, HEY, WE'RE

ALL, SAY THIS, WE'RE BOTH BLESSED. WE'RE ALL BLESSED.

WOW,USHERS YOU, YOU CAN SERVE PEOPLE. WELL, I AM SO EXCITED.

I LOVE BABY DEDICATIONS. AND THEY ARE ALWAYS SUCH A GREAT

HONOR TO OFFICIATE THAT, YOU COULD SAY. AND IT'S A GOOD SIGN

THE CHURCH IS GROWING, RIGHT? AMEN, SO AT THIS

TIME, I THINK THERE'S ONLY TWO THAT ARE BEING DEDICATED

TODAY, BUT IF YOU WOULD COME, THE PARENTS OF THE TWO

LITTLE ONES, IF YOU WOULD COME AND STAND, JUST STAND

UP BEFORE THE PULPIT HERE, WE'D REALLY APPRECIATE IT. LET'S

GIVE THEM A HAND CLAP AS THEY COME. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

SO, BABY NOVA, LOOK AT THE HAIR. AND JULY,

IS THAT RIGHT? I LOVE THE NAME. YOU KNOW, WHAT'S SO

CRAZY IS I'VE MET AN APRIL, I'VE MET A MAY, I'VE MET

EVEN A JUNE. THIS IS THE FIRST JULY THAT I'VE EVER

MET. THIS IS AWESOME. SO, BUT ANYWAY, WE'RE SO

THRILLED THAT YOU ALL WOULD COME TODAY AND GIVE BACK TO

GOD WHAT HE GAVE TO YOU. AND THAT IS, LOOK AT HOW CUTE

THESE LITTLE ONES ARE. AREN'T THEY ADORABLE? I

DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN GET A, LIKE, FOR YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING, LIKE SOME CAMERA SHOTS OF HOW CUTE THEY ARE.

MAN. I MEAN, YOU SEE IT. JULY, DO YOU WANT TO GO GET

GELATO WITH ME? AND BRENDA, AND NOVA, DO YOU JUST WANT

TO HANG OUT FOR A WEEK? YEAH, YOU'RE SMILING. YOU

WANT TO HANG OUT FOR A WEEK? YOU DO WANT TO HANG OUT FOR

A WEEK. THAT'S WHAT I SAID. OH, BOY. SORRY. BUT, YOU

KNOW, I JUST... ANYWAY, I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER DONE

THAT IN ALL THE 28 YEARS OF DOING A BABY... HUH? HONEY,

DO IT AGAIN, I WILL FOR IF YOU WANT TO RUB MY FEET

LATER. OKAY. OH, YOU WANT TO HEAR DONALD DUCK AGAIN? OH

BOY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? OH BOY. ALL RIGHT. I THINK I'M

GOING TO PREACH IN DONALD DUCK. WOULDN'T THAT BE

AWESOME? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? NO, I DON'T WANT TO BE

GOOFY. SO I DON'T KNOW. I WOULD STOP. ALL RIGHT, LET'S

GET BACK TO THIS. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, YOU

GUYS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I ALWAYS WANT TO LET PEOPLE

KNOW THAT MAYBE YOU'RE WATCHING OR MAYBE VISITING

WITH US TODAY IS, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE DOES NOT SPEAK

ABOUT BABY BAPTISM. OFTEN WE SEE THAT TRADITIONALLY.

NOTHING WRONG, I GUESS, IF SOMEBODY FEELS THAT. BUT

REALLY WHAT YOU SEE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT IS YOU SEE

PEOPLE WHO, ONCE THEY MAKE A DEDICATION TO JESUS CHRIST,

THEN THEY FOLLOW UP WITH BAPTISM, WHICH IS IMMERSION,

DOWN WITH THE OLD, UP WITH THE NEW. BUT WHAT YOU DO

FIND IN THE NEW TESTAMENT IS YOU SEE CHILDREN BEING

DEDICATED. AND YOU CAN FIND THAT IN LUKE CHAPTER TWO,

VERSE 22. YOU CAN ALSO SEE THAT IN MATTHEW 19, WHEN

THEY BROUGHT THE CHILDREN TO JESUS FOR HIM TO LAY THEIR

HANDS ON THE CHILDREN. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO

DO AS WELL TODAY. AND THEN 2 CHRONICLES CHAPTER 25, THEY

2 Chronicles 25 · chapter mention

STOOD BEFORE THE LORD AND DEDICATED THEIR CHILDREN

UNTO GOD. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. WE'RE GIVING

BACK TO GOD WHAT HE'S GIVEN TO US IN HIS PRECIOUS LITTLE

ONES. AND SO I JUST WANNA GIVE A CHARGE TO YOU ALL AS

PARENTS, TO YOU IN THE SIGHT OF GOD AND THE PRESENCE OF

THESE WITNESSES, DO YOU PROMISE TO BRING YOUR CHILD

UP IN THE FEAR AND THE ADMONITION OF ALMIGHTY GOD?

AMEN. ALL RIGHT, WITH THAT, I WANNA PRAY A PRAYER.

PASTOR BRENDA, WOULD YOU COME AS WELL? WE'RE GONNA

PRAY OVER THESE CHILDREN. I WANNA PRAY A CORPORATE

PRAYER, AND THEN I'M GOING TO LAY MY HANDS. MAN, I'M

HEARING THE LORD SPEAKING TO ME OVER YOUR KIDS. OKAY, I

WILL DO IT. ALL RIGHT, I'M HEARING SOMETHING. OKAY, PASTOR

BRENDA, WOULD YOU PRAY OVER THESE CHILDREN AND THEN WE'RE

GONNA GO DOWN AND WE'RE GONNA LAY OUR HANDS UPON THEM.

- HEAVENLY FATHER, JUST STRETCH YOUR HANDS,

EVERYBODY OUT HERE. HEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR

THESE BEAUTIFUL LIVES. AND FATHER, THE INCREDIBLE

DESTINY THAT EACH ONE OF THEM SHALL CARRY. THANK YOU.

AND FATHER, NOT ONLY CARRY BUT FULFILL. WE REBUKE

ANYTHING OF THE ENEMY THAT WOULD TRY TO COME TO

DISRUPT. THAT'S RIGHT. OR KEEP THEM FROM THEIR

PURPOSE. FOR FATHER, WE THANK YOU THAT BEFORE THEY

WERE FORMED IN THEIR MOTHER'S WOMB, YOU KNEW

THEM. AND SO FATHER, WE SAY NOW AS THEY'RE DEDICATED

BACK TO YOU, THAT FATHER, YOUR HAND SHALL BE UPON THEM

THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES, THEIR LONG LIVES IN THIS

EARTH. AND WE THANK YOU FOR IT IN JESUS' NAME.

- AMEN, ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE'RE GONNA COME DOWN AND

WE'RE GOING TO LAY OUR HANDS UPON THESE BEAUTIFUL LITTLE

ONES WHO THEY'RE GONNA LET ME AND PASTOR BRENDA

BABYSIT, RIGHT? ALL RIGHT, HOW YOU DOING, JULY? CAN YOU

GIVE ME FIVE? HOW YOU DOING? I KNOW, SHE'S GOOD LOOKING,

I'M TELLING YOU. SEE, THE LORD'S ALREADY SAYING HE'S

GONNA HAVE STRONG DISCERNMENT. (LAUGHING) I

KNOW. ACTUALLY, WHAT I HEAR IN MY HEART FOR THIS LITTLE

ONE, FIRST OF ALL, FATHER, WE GIVE BACK JULY INTO YOUR

HANDS. DEDICATE HIM BACK INTO YOUR HANDS AND YOUR

PURPOSE, FOR YOUR PURPOSE, TO BE FULFILLED. AND

EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE PLANNED AND YOU HAVE

DECLARED IN THE BOOKS THAT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN CONCERNING

THIS LITTLE ONE, IT SHALL BE FULFILLED. AND LORD, WE

RELEASE AN ANOINTING THAT NO HARM AND NO EVIL CANNOT AND

WILL NOT EVER COME NEAR. NOW, WHAT I HEAR IN MY HEART

IS, THERE'S A SCRIPTURE AND I BELIEVE IT'S IN THE BOOK

OF ISAIAH WHERE IT SAYS THAT THERE WAS A ROOT, JESSE, THE

ROOT, AND THERE WAS A BRANCH THAT CAME OUT OF THE ROOT.

AND THEN IT GOES ON, IT WAS TALKING ABOUT JESUS AND IT

SAYS, "IS THIS NOT THE CARPENTER'S SON?" GOD IS

SAYING THIS ABOUT THIS CHILD. THE MORE THAT YOU

POUR IN TO THIS ONE IN THE THINGS OF GOD, THE THINGS OF

THE KINGDOM OF GOD, THE MORE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE

EXPRESSION AND THE FRUIT OF IT. BUT THERE'S ALSO GOING

TO BE SOME THINGS THAT GOD IS GOING TO DO THAT HAS TO

DO WITH YOU. IS THIS NOT THE CARPENTER'S SON? THERE'S A

BUILDING GRACE AND ANOINTING ON THIS ONE. THERE'S AN

ENTREPRENEUR CALLING AND ANOINTING, BUT THERE IS A

LEADERSHIP THAT IS GONNA SERVE A DUAL ROLE. ONE IS TO

BE A BUILDER IN THE NATURAL, BUT THERE IS ALSO A KINGDOM

BUILDING AND LEADERSHIP THAT WILL COME. AND THE LORD

SAYS, "PAY ATTENTION "AROUND THE 18TH BIRTHDAY OF THIS

ONE. "THERE'S GOING TO COME A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE. "IT'LL

SEEM AS THOUGH LEADING UP A LITTLE DISTRACTED, BUT THEN

18, IT'S GONNA SHIFT. AND BY THE TIME 21 COMES, YOU'RE

GONNA SEE AN EXPRESSION OF LEADERSHIP ON THIS CHILD

THAT YOU ARE GOING TO MARVEL AT. AND THERE WILL BE A

CREATIVE ABILITY TO BUILD, NOT ONLY IN THE NATURAL,

VERY GIFTED, VERY STRONG WITH THEIR HANDS, BUT THE

LEADERSHIP AND WHAT THEY'RE GONNA HELP BUILD FOR GOD.

I'M TELLING YOU, HE WILL HELP BUILD THE HOUSE OF THE

LORD. AND I'M NOT SAYING A MINISTRY CALLING, BUT A

CALLING TO REALLY, REALLY HELP BUILD THE HOUSE OF THE

LORD, AS WELL AS THINGS IN THE NATURAL. SO WE RELEASE

THAT GRACE AND THAT ANOINTING. THANK YOU, LORD.

THANK YOU, LORD. YOU ARE SO CUTE. ALL RIGHT, MAN. YEAH,

YEAH. AND I'M TELLING YOU, ONE OF THE THINGS YOU'RE

GONNA SEE AS HE GROWS, YOU'RE GONNA SEE THE LENGTH

OF HIS HANDS. JUST PAY ATTENTION TO THAT, BECAUSE

THAT'S GONNA BE A SIGN OF THE REACH THAT HE'S GOING TO

HAVE AS A BUILDER FOR GOD AND HIS KINGDOM. FATHER, WE

THANK YOU FOR THIS. LOOK AT THESE LITTLE SOCKS HERE. WE

RELEASE THAT ANOINTING. LORD, WE GIVE BABY NOVA BACK

INTO YOUR HANDS. DEDICATE HER BACK TO YOU FOR YOUR

PURPOSES, FOR YOUR WILL, FOR YOUR GLORY, GOD, ALL THE

THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN AND RECORDED,

PREDESTINED, ORDAINED, IT SHALL BE FULFILLED. AND WHAT

I HEAR THE LORD REALLY SAYING OVER THIS ONE IS,

THIS IS LIKE WHERE IT SAYS THAT THE RISING OF THE SUN,

RISING WITH HEALING IN THEIR WINGS, THERE'S A RADIANCE

AND A GLORY ON THIS CHILD THAT HAS TO DO WITH BEING

ABLE TO FUNCTION PRIVATELY BECAUSE THERE'S A SHYNESS

THAT WILL TRY TO COME ON THIS CHILD THAT THE LORD

DOESN'T WANT. THE LORD DOESN'T WANT THIS CHILD TO BE

AN INTROVERT, IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING.

LIKE, TO THEMSELVES. THEY'RE NOT CALLED TO BE AN INTROVERT.

THIS LITTLE ONE IS CALLED TO BE A BALANCE BETWEEN AN INTROVERT

AND EXTROVERT. AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO NAVIGATE WITH THIS CHILD

THE ABILITY OF HOW TO- SHE'S GONNA LIKE TO BE TO HERSELF.

AND SHE'S NOT GONNA, AT FIRST LIKE TO BE AROUND CERTAIN

THINGS. BUT THE EXPRESSION'S GONNA BEGIN TO HIT HER AROUND

THE AGE OF SEVEN. AND GOD IS SAYING, EVEN AS SHE MOVES INTO

HER TEENAGE YEARS, YOU'RE GONNA SEE THE EXPRESSION OF HER

TRYING TO MANIFEST. THERE'S A BOLDNESS THAT WILL COME ON

HER, AN EXPRESSION THAT WILL COME OUT OF HER. BUT IT'S

THESE FIRST FEW YEARS, BETWEEN NOW UNTIL AT LEAST

FIVE INTO SEVEN, THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO REALLY BEGIN

TO NURTURE AND NOT LET HER GO TOWARDS THE WAY OF

INTROVERT, SHYNESS, ISOLATION, 'CAUSE THERE'S AN

EXPRESSION THAT HAS TO COME BECAUSE THERE'S A CREATIVE

SOUND THAT'S COMING OUT OF HER. I HEAR MELODY, I HEAR

CREATIVITY THAT IS UPON THIS CHILD. AND YOU'RE GONNA SEE

GREAT EXPRESSION COME. AND IT'LL BE IN CREATIVE THINGS,

BUT IN MUSIC, IN THE VOICE, AND ALSO IN OF THE HANDS

BECAUSE OF THE RADIANCE OF GLORY THAT IS TO BE

EXPRESSED THROUGH HER MOUTH AND THROUGH HER HANDS. AND

THE LORD SAYS THROUGH HER LIFE AND HER PRESENCE. AND

SO I RELEASE THAT OVER YOU NOW IN YESHUA'S NAME.

- YEAH, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?

- I THINK SHE LIKES WATCHES. - DO YOU LIKE WATCHES?

- SHE DOES.

- THIS MIGHT BE ONE OF THOSE FAKE ONES. SO, ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. CAN WE DO THIS? I WANT YOU GUYS TO TURN

AROUND. YOU GUYS GOTTA SHOW OFF YOUR CHILDREN. AREN'T

THEY SO CUTE? ALL RIGHT, LET'S GIVE THEM A HAND CLAP.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, GUYS, WE LOVE YOU. AMEN, AMEN. THANK

YOU, LORD. I ALWAYS LIKE MINISTERING SOMETHING, THEY

CAN GO BACK TO THEIR SEATS. I ALWAYS LIKE MINISTERING

SOMETHING IF WE CAN. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU HAVE 20,

YOU KNOW, IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT, BUT MAN, YOU

KNOW, IT'S VERY BIBLICAL IF YOU THINK ABOUT THAT. HOW,

CAN I GIVE THIS TO SOMEBODY REAL QUICK? PASTOR DOUG, CAN

YOU GIVE THAT TO BRENDA? PASTOR DOUG, ARE YOU HERE?

LET ME SEE WHAT KIND OF TIME WE HAVE REAL QUICK. YEAH,

COME ON OVER HERE REAL QUICK. SO WHAT I WANNA DO,

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN FOR A MOMENT BEFORE I

PREACH, IS I DO WANNA TALK TO YOU AND THOSE OF YOU THAT

ARE WATCHING, YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING TO WATCH GOD

MINISTER TO CHILDREN. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, HOW MANY

TIMES IN THE BIBLE GOD WOULD SPEAK AHEAD OF TIME, OR HE

WOULD SPEAK WHEN THAT CHILD WAS BORN OF THEIR DESTINY.

HOW MANY OF YOU READ THAT IN SCRIPTURE? AND SO I JUST

THINK IT'S NEAT WHEN GOD IS SAYING THAT IN PRESENTLY.

ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL? AND HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HAD

YOUR CHILDREN DEDICATED UNDER THIS MINISTRY AND

YOU'VE SEEN THE THINGS THAT HE SAID FULFILLED AND BEING

FULFILLED? THAT'S REALLY ENCOURAGING. I'M GLAD HANDS

ARE GOING UP. OKAY, SO ANYWAY. BUT WHAT WE'RE GONNA

DO, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING IS ON OCTOBER

29TH, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER COME ACROSS ANY OF THE

FILTH THAT'S OUT THERE? I WAS WATCHING FOOTBALL AND I

WAS VERY GRIEVED WHEN I SAW DISNEY IS COMING OUT WITH

VAMPIRINA. IT'S A TEENAGE VAMPIRE. AND THEY'RE NOT

BEING APOLOGETIC. AND I'M SITTING HERE GOING, GOD, I

HAVE THINGS THAT YOU'VE GIVEN TO THIS VESSEL, TO

THIS MINISTRY, THAT IS AN ALTERNATIVE, NOT ONLY TO

CHRISTIAN KIDS BUT TO THE WORLD. AND SO ON OCTOBER 29TH WE ARE

REALLY GOING TO PRAY OVER CHILDREN. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT

YOU, BUT HAVE YOU NOTICED JUST THE LEVEL OF ATTACKS THAT HAVE

BEEN AGAINST CHILDREN? MAYBE EVEN IN YOUR OWN FAMILIES. YOUR

KIDS. AND UH WE'RE GOING TO REALLY PRAY. WE'RE GOING TO

INTERCEDE FOR YOUR GRANDKIDS, YOUR CHILDREN, AND JUST FOR

CHILDREN IN GENERAL. AND REALLY FOR THIS GENERATION. AND THEN

WHAT I WANT TO DO, IS I WANT TO GIVE YOU KIND OF

AN UPDATE OF WHAT IS GOING ON WITH OUR ANIMATION

PROJECT. AND DOJI HAS A BUNDLE OF ALL OF THE THINGS

THAT WE CREATE. I DON'T EVEN THINK THIS IS ALL THE BOOKS.

I MEAN, WE'VE HAD LIKE, I THINK, SEVEN OF THESE

MUTZVIAN MODEL, IF THEY WILL SHOW THOSE ON THE SCREEN. WE

HAVE HELP WANTED IS BEING RELEASED. I JUST WROTE

ANOTHER ONE THAT'S ALREADY ILLUSTRATED. RACHEL, IT'S

GONNA BE RELEASED CALLED MUD RATS FOR A DAY. I WROTE TWO

MORE STORIES WITH THE MUTZVI MALLOW SERIES. NORRIS IS

ILLUSTRATING NOW. ONE'S DAVID AND GOLIATH. I WANTED

TO WRITE SOMETHING WITH MUTZVI MALLOW AND DAVID AND

GOLIATH. MUTZVI GETS INVOLVED, BUT HE DOESN'T

LIKE GETTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BIBLE NARRATIVE. AND

THEN I ALSO WROTE A CHRISTMAS ONE THAT'S COMING

CALLED PEACE ON EARTH, GOODWILL TOWARDS THE MUD

RATS, AND THOSE WILL BE OUT NEXT YEAR. SO THERE WILL BE

LIKE NINE BOOKS IN TOTAL THERE. WE'RE WORKING ON

PUTTING THOSE INTO ANIMATION AS WELL. AND I JUST WANNA

ENCOURAGE YOU, IF YOU'RE WATCHING TODAY OR YOU'RE IN

THIS ROOM, MAYBE YOU'VE ALREADY BOUGHT ONE OF THESE

BOOKS, I'M ASKING YOU TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. I'M ASKING YOU

TO HELP US BECAUSE WHAT IT DOES IS IT KEEPS THE

MINISTRY GROWING. I'M ALSO NOW USING A GUY THAT WROTE

VEGGIE TALES, NOT BEFORE VEGGIE TALES, ACTUALLY

BEFORE VEGGIE TALES WENT WOKE, HIS NAME IS COREY

EDWARDS. AND HE HAS BEEN A GREAT HELP TO ME BECAUSE I

CAN'T KEEP UP. AND SO HIM AND I WILL GET ON THE PHONE

FOR QUITE A WHILE AND I'LL GIVE HIM MY IDEAS,

SUMMARIES, DIALOGUE, HOW I WANT THE STORY TO GO. AND

THEN HE'LL ASK ME QUESTIONS AND KIND OF WRITE IT THEN

AND THERE. SO WE'RE REALLY, REALLY MOVING FORWARD. AND I

TOLD THAT TO GOD, I SAID, GOD, IF YOU'RE GONNA WANT ME

TO KEEP DOING THIS, I AM SO BUSY, I CAN'T KEEP DOING IT

AT THIS LEVEL, SO I HAVE TO HAVE HELP. SO GOD HAS GIVEN

ME SOME OF THE BEST. SO THIS IS MUTZVI AND MILO. AND THEN

WE HAVE OUR COMIC BOOKS. AND THE ONLY REASON I'M SAYING

THIS IS BECAUSE FOLKS, LISTEN, I'M NOT DOING THIS

BECAUSE I NEED ANOTHER THING TO DO. IT'S BECAUSE I HAVE A

PASSION FOR THE FATHER. HE LOVES KIDS, HE LOVES US, BUT

I HAVE A PASSION FOR KIDS. AND I'M TIRED OF THE

NONSENSE THAT'S GOING ON IN THIS GENERATION AGAINST

CHILDREN. AND THESE, HOW MANY OF YOU EVER READ THEM?

THEY ARE HILARIOUS BOOKS. SO THESE ARE, I DON'T KNOW HOW

MANY ARE THERE, SEVEN COMIC BOOKS. I JUST WORKED WITH

COREY ON ANOTHER ONE. THIS ONE'S CALLED RAINING CAT,

THE NEXT ONE COMING OUT, WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF

WRITING IT, IT'S CALLED RAINING CATS AND DOGS AND

OTHER PETS. SO CATS ACTUALLY ARE IN THE BOOK. I KNOW

YOU'RE SURPRISED. I WROTE IT IN YOUR HONOR, CAT PEOPLE.

BUT THEY TAKE OVER THE WORLD. SO YOU'RE GONNA

REALLY LIKE IT, IT'S REALLY FUNNY. AND SO THERE'S ALL OF

THOSE. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE, DOJI, IF I CAN GIVE

THESE TO YOU, WE ALSO HAVE, WE PUT THEM INTO COLORING

AND ACTIVITY BOOKS. YOU KNOW, EVERY KID LIKES TO

COLOR, AND SO I DECIDED TO DO IT IN ALL THREE SERIES.

NOW THIS ONE IS P.I. GUS, DETECTIVE AT LARGE. THIS

ONE, IF THEY COULD SHOW P.I. GUS, THIS IS, LET ME SHOW

YOU P.I., OKAY, THIS IS P.I. GUS, THERE HE IS. THIS IS A

DETECTIVE BOOK, THIS IS A LOT OF, YOU'RE GONNA SQUEAL

WITH LAUGHTER, YOU'RE GONNA GO HOG WILD, THIS IS A LOT

OF PUNS, BUT THEY'RE SUPER, SUPER FUNNY. AND I'M WRITING

ANOTHER ONE ABOUT THE MISSING PIGGY BANK. WHERE DO

YOU HEAR WHAT HAPPENS? I MEAN, THE FIRST NATIONAL

PIGGY BANK IN THE BAHAMAS DISAPPEARS. I MEAN, THEY

DON'T JUST TAKE THE BANK, THEY TAKE THE MONEY. SO

WHERE DO YOU SEE P.I. GUS IS GONNA HELP OUT THERE? AND

THEN IN P.I. GUS STORY, THIS IS MY NOW, SO I'VE GOT THREE

SERIES, BUT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEXT ONE.

AND THE NEXT SERIES THAT WE HAVE, AND WE JUST FINISHED A

STORY, SO, SO FUNNY. AND IT'S ABOUT A LITTLE GIRL,

'CAUSE I WANTED TO WRITE SOMETHING FOR THE GIRLS, BUT

ALSO BE ABLE TO ENGAGE THE GUYS. AND SHE WORKS WITH

P.I. GUS, AND SHE GROWS UP ON A FARM, AND SHE LIVES IN

THE REAL WORLD, BUT WHEN SHE OPENS THE BARN, EVERYTHING

BECOMES HER IMAGINATION. AND SO THIS IS GONNA BE COMING

OUT SOON. IT'S CALLED "SECRET AGENT SUE," "FROM

THE FARM TO THE BAHAMAS." AND SO, YEAH, IT'S, I KNOW

YOU WONDER WHAT, YOU KNOW, MY MIND THINKS. ALL RIGHT,

THEN LASTLY, BEFORE I PREACH, THIS IS OUR LATEST

ANIMATION. WE FINISHED ONE, AND WE'VE GOT THREE MORE TO

GO. AND LET ME TELL YOU, WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON NOW IS

BETTER THAN THIS FIRST ONE. AND IT IS HILARIOUS. YOU'RE

GONNA LOVE IT. SO WILL YOU HELP ME? AND LISTEN,

CHRISTMAS IS COMING. BUY A BOOK, BUY THREE, BUY EIGHT.

BUT HERE'S THE THING, ON THE NIGHT OF THE EVENT, ON

OCTOBER 29TH, IN FACT, JOHN AMACHUKA'S GONNA ACTUALLY

FILM SOMETHING FOR ME WHEN HE'S HERE. THESE, THEY'RE

GONNA GET A FREE BOOK, CORRECT, BRENDA?

- YES, THAT'S, I CAN GET MY MIC.

- IF THEY CAN GET HER A MICROPHONE, PLEASE HELP ME

OUT HERE BEFORE I PREACH. OKAY, YOUR MIC IS ON.

- SO THAT WILL BE COMPLETELY FREE FOR ANYONE THAT CALLS

IN. WE'LL SEND IT OUT, AND THEN WE HAVE SEVERAL OF

THESE BUNDLES THAT WE'LL MAKE AVAILABLE, LIKE FOR

CHRISTMAS, WE'VE GOT SOME BUNDLE BOXES THAT'LL BE

AVAILABLE THAT NIGHT. AND SO BE LOOKING FOR THOSE FOR

CHRISTMAS GIFTS. AND THE MORE THAT WE SEND THEM OUT,

AGAIN, NOT ONLY DOES IT GET THE MATERIAL INTO HOMES, BUT

THEN IT HELPS US GET THESE NEXT ANIMATIONS DONE.

- IT'S NO SECRET, BRENDA IS IN MY STORY. SHE IS ACTUALLY

LIEUTENANT ZINDI AND SECRET AGENT SUE. SHE'S A HERO. ALL

RIGHT, WELL, LET'S OPEN OUR BIBLES. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE

I WANNA START. FOR THE SAKE OF TIME, LET'S GO TO

MATTHEW. LET'S GO TO MATTHEW 22. I THINK I'LL JUST START

THERE AND PREACH FROM THERE. WE'LL JUST GO RIGHT INTO

WHAT JESUS TALKED ABOUT WITH THE 10 COMMANDMENTS. SO WE

WANNA TALK ABOUT LOVE AND HONOR TODAY. EVERYBODY YAWN

SO YOU CAN GET YOUR YAWNS OUT. NO, I DIDN'T MEAN TO

MAKE US SO MANY ANNOUNCEMENTS, BUT IT'LL

HELP GET THE YAWNS OUT. DOES EVERYBODY YAWN, JUST YAWN?

OKAY. I BET YOU NOW STARTING TO YAWN, RIGHT? WHEN

SOMEBODY STARTS, OKAY. BUT I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT MATTHEW

22 AND I WANNA TALK ABOUT WHEN JESUS, HE WENT INTO

THIS PLACE AND THIS LAWYER COMES UP TO HIM. IF YOU READ

IN THE PREVIOUS VERSES, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THIS

ATTORNEY TRIED TO TRAP JESUS. HOW MANY EVER HAD A

CONVERSATION WITH SOMEBODY THAT YOU KNEW THAT THEY WERE

TRYING TO TRAP YOU? RIGHT? MOM, I REMEMBER THOSE TIMES.

DID YOU CLEAN YOUR ROOM? YOU KNOW, THOSE KIND OF, IT WAS

A TRAP, MOM. IT WAS A TRAP. BUT ANYWAY, MATTHEW 15:8

Matthew 15:8

WE'LL GO TO MATTHEW 22. OKAY, WE'LL GO TO MATTHEW 22:36

Matthew 22:36

"THEN ONE OF THEM, WHICH WAS A LAWYER,

"ASKED JESUS A QUESTION AND BEGAN TO TEMPT

HIM SAYING, "MASTER, WHAT IS OR WHICH IS THE GREATEST

COMMANDMENT "IN THE LAW? "AND JESUS IMMEDIATELY,"

NOTICE HOW JESUS RESPONDS, DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT,

SAYS, "YOU," OR EVERYONE, UNDERLINE THIS, "SHOULD

HONOR OR LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD "WITH ALL YOUR HEART,

WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, "WITH ALL YOUR MIND." NOTICE IN

SAY, ACCORDING TO ALL OF GRANDMA'S HEART, RIGHT?

ACCORDING TO PASTOR HANK'S HEART, THERE HAS TO BE, YOU

HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION TO FOLLOW GOD, TO LOVE GOD, TO

HONOR GOD. YOU CAN'T ALWAYS WALK IN THE, YOU KNOW, IN

THE REVELATION OF SOMEBODY ELSE. YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR

OWN EXPERIENCE WITH GOD. BUT THEN NOTICE WHAT HE SAYS,

VERSE 38. THIS IS THE FIRST, AND IT IS THE GREATEST OF

THE COMMANDS THAT YOU SHOULD LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR

HEART, SOUL, MIND, AND STRENGTH. NOW NOTICE WHAT HE

SAYS IN VERSE 39. AND THE SECOND IS LIKE UNTO IT. YOU

SHOULD LOVE SOMEBODY ELSE, YOUR NEIGHBOR, OTHER PEOPLE,

AS YOU DO YOURSELF. NOW LET THAT SINK IN. CAN YOU

IMAGINE IF MORE PEOPLE WOULD LOVE GOD? THAT LOVE WOULD BE

SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS, AND I BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD

BE EXPRESSED SO MUCH MORE IN SUCH AN EVIL GENERATION, IN

A CORRUPT CULTURE. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF PEOPLE WOULD JUST

FALL MORE IN LOVE WITH GOD AND HOW THAT WOULD SPILL

OVER TO LOVING PEOPLE, HONORING PEOPLE, TREATING

PEOPLE WITH RESPECT? HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER GROWING

UP THAT THE BIG SAYING WAS DO UNTO OTHERS, THE GOLDEN

RULE, IS YOU'D HAVE THEM DO TO YOU? HOW MANY REMEMBER

THE SAYING, DON'T SAY ANYTHING UNLESS YOU HAVE

SOMETHING GOOD TO SAY? RIGHT? BOY, IF THAT WOULD BE

A SOCIAL MEDIA RULE. DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU HAVE THEM DO

TO YOU, RIGHT? IF YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING NICE, THEN

DON'T SAY IT. BOY, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, TALK ABOUT

CENSORSHIP, THAT OUGHT TO BE IT RIGHT THERE IF THEY'RE

GONNA DO ANYTHING. BUT IT'S BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE BREAKING

THESE COMMANDS. NOW NOTICE WHAT JESUS SAYS. HE SAID,

AFTER LOVING GOD, HONORING GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART,

SOUL, MIND, AND STRENGTH AND LOVING AND HONORING SOMEBODY

ELSE, HE SAID, NOW LOOK, THESE ARE THE TWO GREATEST

COMMANDMENTS AND ALL OF THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS HAVE

BEEN FULFILLED. IN OTHER WORDS, LOOK AT THE 10

COMMANDMENTS. THEY'RE GONNA SHOW YOU THE GRAPHIC. ALL OF

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS CAN BE DIVIDED INTO THESE TWO

PRINCIPLES, LOVING GOD, HONORING GOD, AND LOVING AND

HONORING PEOPLE. SO THEY'RE GONNA PUT THE 10

COMMANDMENTS UP. AND I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THE 10

COMMANDMENTS FOR A SECOND. NOW, THIS IS THE SHORT

VERSION. IF YOU WANNA GO TO THE LONGER VERSION OF IT,

YOU CAN GO, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, TO EXODUS

Exodus 20 · chapter mention

CHAPTER 20. BUT NOTICE WHAT IT SAYS. THOU SHALL HAVE NO

OTHER GODS BEFORE ME. THOU SHALL NOT MAKE ANY GRAVEN

IMAGE. THOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD IN

VAIN. THE FOURTH, REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT

HOLY. NUMBER FIVE, HONOR YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER. SIX,

THOU SHALL NOT KILL, THOU SHALL NOT MURDER, THOU SHALL

NOT STEAL, AND THOU SHALL NOT LIE AND BEAR FALSE

WITNESS ACCUSING THY NEIGHBOR, AND THOU SHALL NOT

COVET. NOW KEEP THOSE UP THERE NOW. AS I WAS LOOKING

AT THE 10 COMMANDMENTS, I STARTED THINKING, OKAY, HOW

WOULD I, IF I'M LOOKING AT THESE COMMANDMENTS, HOW

WOULD I DEFINE IT FOR ME? AND SO AS I LOOKED AT THIS

AND I STARTED LOOKING AT, YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS

BEFORE ME, I THOUGHT, OKAY, HANK, REALLY WHAT GOD IS

SAYING IS THOU SHALL NOT DISHONOR ME. IF YOU LOVE GOD

AND YOU HONOR GOD, YOU AREN'T GONNA WORSHIP OTHER

THINGS. THAT'S WHY, AND I'M NOT TRYING TO BE RELIGIOUS,

BUT IT'S WHY IN LIFE I TRY NOT TO SAY, EXCEPT FOR MY

WIFE OR SOMETHING OF REAL VALUE, I TRY NOT TO USE THE

WORD I LOVE THAT. BECAUSE I WANT THE HIGHEST HONOR AND

THE HIGHEST LOVE TO GO FIRST AND FOREMOST TOWARDS GOD AND

THEN THE EXPRESSION OF THAT WITH MY WIFE AND MY KIDS AND

YOU, THE PEOPLE. BUT I TRY NOT TO SAY, OH, I JUST LOVE

THIS PICTURE. WELL, I LIKE IT, IT REALLY FEELS GOOD.

AND I'M NOT TRYING TO BE RELIGIOUS. I'M JUST SIMPLY

SAYING THAT I WANT TO ALWAYS REMIND MYSELF THAT I HAVE TO

HONOR GOD AND NOT DISHONOR HIM. AND SO IF I WAS TO SAY,

THOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME, WHAT IS GOD

SAYING? GOD SIMPLY IS SAYING, I WANNA BE FIRST. I

DON'T WANNA BE SECOND. I DON'T WANNA BE AN

AFTERTHOUGHT. AND SO HOW DO I CAUSE IN MY LIFE, THOU

SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME? WELL, IT MEANS

GOD FIRST, NOT SECOND. GOD IS NOT TO BE AN

AFTERTHOUGHT. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IT MEANS WHEN I'M

LAYING IN MY BED AND ON MY BED AT NIGHT, I LIFT MY EYES

AND I HONOR HIM. I WORSHIP HIM. WHEN I GET UP, I HONOR

HIM AND I DEDICATE THE DAY TO HIM. I PRAY TO HIM. I

EVEN GO TO HIS WORD. I RECITE HIS WORD. I GO BEFORE

HIS THRONE AND LET HIM KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM AND HOW

MUCH I NEED HIM FOR THE DAY. GOD, YOU ARE FIRST. NOW ASK

YOURSELF A QUESTION. IS GOD FIRST? YOU CAN TELL IF GOD

IS FIRST IF YOU REALLY LOOK AT YOUR TIME. HOW ARE YOU

USING YOUR TIME? HOW MUCH TIME ARE YOU GIVING TO GOD?

AND I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE AN EIGHT HOUR WORKDAY, BUT IS

GOD FIRST? IS HE THE HIGHEST PRIORITY OF YOUR LIFE AND

HOW YOU REPRESENT HIM? IS HIS HEART AND HOW HE THINKS

AND HOW HE FEELS AND HE'S WATCHING US ALL THE TIME?

GOD, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW I ACKNOWLEDGE YOU. EVEN AS

I'M AT MY DESK TODAY, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU ARE

FIRST AND I'M THINKING OF YOU AND I'M HONORING YOU.

AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW, GOD, AS I'M DRIVING MY CAR AND

ALL THESE WOMEN DRIVERS ARE MAKING ME MAD. GOD. I JUST

THANK YOU, LORD, THAT WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN, NONE OF

THEM ARE GETTING A LICENSE. YOU KNOW, LORD, THANK YOU,

THANK YOU, LORD. THANK YOU, LORD. THANK YOU, LORD. THANK

YOU, LORD. I'M SURE IF I ASK KAT KERR, KAT, YOU'RE UP IN

HEAVEN, I BET YOU WOMEN DON'T DRIVE. YOU KNOW I'M

ONLY KIDDING, LADIES. I MEAN, YOU'RE LIKE, REMEMBER

WHAT IT SAID ABOUT LOVING YOUR FELLOW GUY HERE, ALL

RIGHT? YOU KNOW, SO I'M GIVING YOU PRACTICE. OKAY,

LOOK AT THE NEXT ONE. THOU SHALL HAVE NO IDOLS. NOW, IT

DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T HAVE AMERICAN IDOLS. DO THEY

STILL HAVE THAT SHOW AROUND ANYMORE? IT IS STILL AROUND?

OKAY, SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I LOOKED AT MYSELF AND

I SAID, "SELF, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO SELF?" "THOU

SHALL NOT REPLACE ME." THAT'S WHAT I SAID TO GOD.

NUMBER ONE, THOU SHALL PUT YOU FIRST. NUMBER TWO, THOU,

OH HANK, SHALL NOT REPLACE GOD. I'M NOT GONNA REPLACE

HIM. MY TRAINS ARE ALL AT BRENDA'S DECORATING SHOWS.

HINT, HINT, BRENDA. IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT GOING, GEEZ,

NO, I'M MESSING WITH YOU. IT'S NOT GOING TO, IT'S

REAL, IT IS REAL, BRENDA, BUT I GOT THE REMOTE BACK,

IT'S FOOTBALL SEASON. BUT HERE'S THE POINT, THE POINT

IS THIS. I'M NOT GONNA REPLACE YOU, GOD. AND SO

WHAT IS GOD TRYING TO SAY? THOU SHALL NOT MAKE IDOLS.

HE'S TRYING TO SAY, LOOK, DON'T REPLACE ME. WHAT IS

YOUR GREATEST PASSION? WHO IS YOUR GREATEST PASSION?

WHAT ARE YOU SPENDING THE MOST TIME DOING AND WITH?

WHAT ARE YOU GIVING YOUR MOST HEART TO? WHAT ARE YOU

GIVING YOUR MONEY TO? BECAUSE ALL OF THOSE THINGS

CAN BE TRACED TO, ARE WE IDOLIZING AND GIVING

IMPORTANCE TO SOMETHING OR SOMEONE ELSE MORE SO THAN

GOD? EVEN THE REMOTE. I MEAN, THERE WAS A COUPLE

TIMES I WAS WATCHING FOOTBALL LAST NIGHT, I

STARTED MORPHING INTO A FIGURE, LIKE AN IDOL FIGURE.

THAT WAS A DUMB JOKE. LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT THIRD

ONE. ALL RIGHT, GO TO THE THIRD ONE. "THOU SHALL NOT

TAKE THE NAME," WHAT'S SO FUNNY, THAT WASN'T FUNNY. I

KNOW YOU'RE LAUGHING AT ME BECAUSE IT WAS A DUMB JOKE.

SO YOU'RE NOT LAUGHING AT THE JOKE, YOU'RE LAUGHING AT

HOW DUMB IT WAS THAT I SAID IT. ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S GO.

IS THAT IT? OKAY, ALL RIGHT, HELP ME PREACH NOW. LET'S GO

TO THIS SECTION WHO LOVES ME. THEY NEED TO WORK ON

THAT ONE PART ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THOU SHALT LOVE THY

FELLOW NEIGHBOR OVER HERE, YOU KNOW. BUT LOOK AT THE

THIRD ONE. THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE LORD GOD'S NAME IN

VAIN. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I WILL NOT DISRESPECT YOU.

GOD, YOU'RE NUMBER ONE, FIRST COMMANDMENT, HANK.

SECOND COMMANDMENT, I WON'T REPLACE YOU. NUMBER THREE, I

AM GOING TO RESPECT YOU. RIGHT? RIGHT? I REMEMBER

WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GUY, I WAS IN EIGHTH GRADE AND

THERE WAS THIS FRIEND OF MINE, HE WAS A STAR FOOTBALL

PLAYER, HIM AND I WERE BUDDIES. AND I WAS GOING

THROUGH THE LUNCH LINE AND WE WERE KINDA, YOU KNOW,

PUSHING EACH OTHER. HE WAS A BIG DUDE, MAN. HE WAS LIKE

ONE OF THESE GUYS. YOU EVER REMEMBER SOME OF THOSE KIDS,

LIKE IN EIGHTH GRADE, THEY LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE LIKE

25 BUT THEY WERE ONLY LIKE 14. HE WAS LIKE ONE OF

THOSE, HAD A FULL BEARD, RIGHT? I'M LIKE, I ONLY HAD

LIKE ONE LITTLE WHISKER UNDERNEATH MY NOSE AND IT

CURLED, THIS LITTLE PEACH FUZZ, 'CAUSE I WANTED TO BE

JUST LIKE HIM, YOU KNOW? PROVED THAT I WAS JUST AS

MUCH OF A MAN WITH ONE PEACH FUZZ HAIR, MAN. BUT ANYWAY,

ALL I REMEMBER IS HIM AND I WERE KINDA JUST KINDA

PUSHING EACH OTHER, KINDA GETTING IN LINE AND KIDDING,

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE PUSHED ME A LITTLE HARD AND

I ROSE UP AND I PUSHED HIM BACK. I'M LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU

DOING? AND I SAID, I CALLED HIM, PLEASE FORGIVE ME, I

CALLED HIM AN SOB, A SON OF A, GOLLY, OF A ITCH. AND HE

GRABBED ME RIGHT IN THE LUNCH LINE, HE TOOK ME DOWN

ON THE FLOOR, I MEAN, IT LOOKED LIKE WWE WRESTLING,

DOWN WITH HANK, YOU KNOW, AND HE'S LIKE, DON'T YOU

CALL MY MOM THAT. AND I'M LIKE, I'M NOT CALLING YOUR

MOM THAT, I CALLED YOU THAT. AND I SAID, TODD, STOP, MAN,

I DIDN'T KNOW. AND I SAID, MAN, DUDE, WHY ARE YOU SO

UPSET? HE SAID, MY MOM IS NOT AN ITCH. AND I'M LIKE,

HUH? IT DAWNED ON ME, YOU SON OF A. AND HE TOOK IT SO,

I MEAN, HE WAS SERIOUS. I WAS HIS FRIEND, I MEAN,

GREAT FRIEND. HE WAS LIKE THE TOUGHEST IN THE SCHOOL,

BUT I CROSSED THE LINE, I TOUCHED HIS MOM. IF WE WOULD

HAVE THAT KIND OF FEELING, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT, YOU

KNOW, SOMEBODY AT THE BASEBALL GAME. JC, OH, YOU

IDIOT, BAM! HERE GOES THIS POPCORN, YOU KNOW, THE GUYS

IN THE YELLOW, YOU KNOW, JACKETS COME OUT AND YOU GET

ARRESTED. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT. BUT I HAVE SAID

THAT AT GAMES BEFORE, WHERE PEOPLE START USING THE

LORD'S NAME IN VAIN AND I TURN AROUND AND I SAY, "OH,

BUDDHA! "HARI KRISHNA!" AND THEY START LAUGHING, "WHAT

ARE YOU DOING?" I SAID, "YOU DON'T TAKE THE NAME OF MY

LORD IN VAIN. "PICK ON BUDDHA, HE'S FAT AND HE'S A

DIET. "AND HARI KRISHNA, I DON'T KNOW THE LAST TIME

"THAT GUY NEEDS TO SHAVE. "GUESS WHY HE'S HAIRY?" I

KIND OF JOKE AROUND WITH THEM, LIKE, "OH, SORRY." BUT

DO WE HAVE THAT HONOR IN OUR HEART AND LOVE FOR GOD? GOD,

YOU'RE NUMBER ONE. I'LL HAVE NO OTHER GODS. NUMBER TWO, I

WON'T REPLACE YOU. I PRIORITIZE YOU. AND NUMBER

THREE, I WILL NOT DISRESPECT YOU OR LET ANYBODY ELSE

DISRESPECT YOU. SO WHEN THEY TRY TO TELL ME THAT IT'S OKAY TO

HAVE ANY OTHER KIND OF MARRIAGE OUTSIDE OF TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE,

UH-UH, THAT'S CALLED VAIN. I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU DISRESPECT

MY GOD. AND IF YOU WANNA TRY TO TELL ME THAT YOU'RE A CAT

AND YOU NEED A LITTER BOX IN THE BATHROOM, I'M SORRY. I

WILL NOT DISRESPECT GOD AND THAT WHICH IS MADE IN HIS

IMAGE AND AIN'T GONNA FLY. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) THAT

AIN'T IT. LET'S SAY THAT, THAT AIN'T IT. THOU SHALL

NOT DISRESPECT THE LORD. SO YOU GOTTA WATCH YOUR MOUTH.

NO MORE JC, NO MORE SUBSTITUTION WORDS. RIGHT?

LOOK AT THE FOURTH ONE. THOU SHALL REMEMBER THE SABBATH

DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY. OKAY, HANK, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT MEANS THE GATHERING TOGETHER AS BELIEVERS NEED

TO BE A PRIORITY, RIGHT? IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, IT WAS A

DAY OF REST. IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, IT WAS A DAY OF

WORSHIP. SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS I CANNOT MAKE EVERYTHING

ELSE A PRIORITY. OH, I'M VERY, VERY CONSISTENT TO

MAKE SURE I GO TO OTHER THINGS ONCE A WEEK, RIGHT?

RIGHT, BINGO, UNDERWATER BASKET WEAVING CLASSES.

RIGHT? GOTTA GO TO THE GYM FIVE DAYS A WEEK. RIGHT?

WELL, IF YOU GET LESS "LET'S GET PHYSICAL" AND GET MORE

"BIBLICAL, BIBLICAL," YOU PROBABLY WOULD DO A LITTLE

BIT BETTER IF YOU WOULD HONOR THE IMPORTANCE OF THE

GATHERING TOGETHER AS THE CHURCH. BUT YOU KNOW WHY,

SOCIETY? THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR YEARS TO

GET PEOPLE TO THINK THAT THE CHURCH AND YOUR GOD, OUR

GOD, IS IRRELEVANT. IT USED TO BE, WHEN I GREW UP, I'M

GONNA BE 60 IN MAY. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? WELL, THANK

YOU. I'M GONNA BE HERE A LONG TIME. BUT HERE'S THE

POINT. THE POINT IS THIS. I REMEMBER GROWING UP, AND

MOM, YOU REMEMBER THIS IN THE AMOCO BUSINESS. YEAH,

'CAUSE MY PARENTS, MY DAD, AFTER HE RETIRED OUT OF THE

AIR FORCE, DECIDED, AND MY MOM TO OPEN UP A, HOW MANY

REMEMBER ANTHONY'S STEAKHOUSE? USED TO BE RIGHT

NEXT TO ANTHONY'S, AMOCO. AND AMOCO HAS COME BACK,

AMERICA'S MADE A COMEBACK. BUT YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER IT

WAS VERY HARD TO FIND ANYTHING THAT WAS OPEN ON A

SUNDAY. I THINK THE DONUT SHOPS WERE ABOUT THE ONLY

THING WITH SOME COFFEE FOR ALL THE CHURCH PEOPLE. AND

HOW MANY OF YOU, IT WAS LIKE A SIN IF YOU GOT HIRED AT A

PLACE AND THEY SUGGESTED A SUNDAY? YOU DIDN'T SIGN YOUR

KIDS UP FOR SOCCER. YOU DIDN'T SIGN YOUR KIDS UP FOR

VOLLEYBALL. AND YOU DIDN'T GO OUT OF TOWN, DO AWAY

GAMES ON A SUNDAY THAT KEPT YOU OUT OF CHURCH. AND YOU

DIDN'T BUY YOUR BOAT SO THAT YOU CAN GO OUT ON A SUNDAY

DURING THE CHURCH SERVICE, WHILE THE PREACHERS ARE PREACHING.

YOU'RE OUT THERE ON THE LAKE. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY. REMEMBER GOING

TO CHURCH. REMEMBER THE PRIORITIZING OF THE CHURCH.

JUST BECAUSE THE WORLD IS CLOSING CHURCHES ON SUNDAY,

OR OPENING UP EVERYTHING, I SHOULD SAY, DOESN'T MEAN

THAT YOU GOTTA BE OPEN TO EVERYTHING ELSE. I'M SO

BUSY, I NEED A DAY TO MYSELF. THAT'S NOT WHAT GOD

SAID. WE ARE TO REMEMBER AND DEDICATE A SPECIFIC TIME. IF

WE ARE GYM RATS, HOW COME WE AIN'T PRAYER RATS? IF WE'RE

YOGA RATS, YOU BETTER BE WATCHING SOME OF THOSE

EXERCISES YOU'RE DOING, 'CAUSE WHILE YOU'RE DOING

IT, THE DEMONS ARE DOING IT WITH YOU. 'CAUSE YOU LOOK

AT, YOU EVER LOOKED AT SOME OF THOSE, YOU KNOW, CREATURE

FEATURE THINGS? I MEAN, SOME OF THESE, LIKE IDOLS, MAN,

THEY GOT LIKE SEVEN ARMS COMING OUT OF THEIR HEAD,

AND EVERYTHING, AND PEOPLE ARE DOING THE SAME THING.

I'M LIKE, I RECOGNIZE THAT. THAT IS A VASE THAT INCENSE

COMES OUT OF THEIR EARS, AND THE FIRE COMES OUT OF THEIR

EYES. IT'S JUST SIMPLE EXERCISES, PASTOR HANK.

LISTEN, THE BIBLE SAYS THERE'S NOTHING NEW UNDER

THE SUN, SO WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THEIR EXERCISES?

(CONGREGATION MURMURS) WELL, THE FALSE DEMON, RUDOLPH, OR

SOMETHING IS GOING, OH, GREAT, BECAUSE SEE WHAT

PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE? IT'S WHY YOU GOTTA BE CAREFUL.

MAN, I'M WATCHING FOOTBALL YESTERDAY, AND I HAVE TO

HAVE A REMOTE, AND IN THE CENTER IS A, YOU PRESS IT

DOWN, AND THEN THE ARROW COMES UP IN CIRCLES, AND IT

GOES TO THE NEXT CHANNEL. BECAUSE, DID YOU NOTICE HOW

MANY HAUNTED COMMERCIALS CAME UP DURING FOOTBALL?

MAN, I HAD TO, (YELLS) AND YOU COULD ALWAYS TELL BY THE

MUSIC. DUN, DUN, DUN, DUN, DUN, DUN, DUN, DUN, DUN,

DUN, DUN, LIKE, HELL NO, CHING, AH. (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)

OR YOU HEAR THAT, (YELLS) YOU'RE LIKE, NO, (YELLS) YOU

HAVE TO TURN IT. BECAUSE SEE, YOUR TV IS A MEDIUM.

WELL, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT. THEY CALL IT A MEDIUM. THAT

CHANNELS AND BRINGS THE UNSEEN WORLD INTO YOUR

LIVING ROOM. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, I CHALLENGE YOU

TO PUT PRAISE AND WORSHIP ON IN YOUR HOME, LET IT PLAY 24

HOURS A DAY IN YOUR HOME, AND SEE WHAT YOUR HOUSE

FEELS LIKE. AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, TRY FIRST, BUT

YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW, DO THEY HAVE THE HORROR

CHANNEL? IS THERE A HORROR CHANNEL? PUT THE HORROR

CHANNEL ON, RIGHT? AND LET IT PLAY SEVEN DAYS A WEEK,

AND WHEN YOU COME HOME, MAN, YOUR KITCHEN TABLE WILL BE

IN THE BASEMENT. YOUR CAT WILL BE LIKE, (GROWLING)

YOU'LL HEAR VOICES. JUST 'CAUSE YOU LEFT

THE TV ON. IT'S NO DIFFERENT WHEN WE'RE DOING CERTAIN

POSES AND THINGS THAT IN OTHER COUNTRIES, IN

MEDITATION. AND IT'S A MEDIUM, YOU GOTTA BE

CAREFUL. NOW THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH WORKING ON YOUR

TRIQUADS OR WHATEVER, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY CALL

THOSE THINGS. ALL RIGHT, BUT JUST BE CAREFUL. DON'T MAKE

ALL THAT OTHER STUFF A PRIORITY. ALL RIGHT, LET'S

GO BACK TO THE COMMANDMENTS. OH, DID IT COME UP? LOOK AT

THAT, LOOK AT THAT, OH MY GOODNESS. ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S

THE OTHER ONE? THOU SHALL HONOR THY OLD LADY AND THY

OLD MAN. MOM, IN ALL THE YEARS THAT YOU'VE BEEN MY

MOM, I'VE NEVER CALLED YOU AN OLD LADY. NOT THAT YOU

KNOW OF, OKAY, NOT THAT YOU KNOW OF, BUT EVEN IN

PRIVATE, MOM, I'VE NEVER SAID THAT YOU'RE AN OLD

LADY. WAIT, GOD'S LISTENING. I WANT HIM ON RECORD NOW.

MOM, I'VE NEVER CALLED YOU AN OLD LADY IN PRIVATE, BUT

I'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY, OH, MY OLD LADY, OH, MY OLD MAN.

I NEVER DID THAT. FIRST OF ALL, IF I DID THAT TO MY

DAD, HE'D PROBABLY BEAT ME. MY MOM, I DON'T KNOW, MOM,

WHAT WOULD YOU DO? OH, SHE SLAPPED MY MOUTH. I LOVE MY

MOM. OKAY, THERE YOU GO, I LOVE MY MOM. BUT WHAT DOES

THAT MEAN? OKAY, SO IN THE HANK COMMANDMENTS, HMM, THOU

SHALT PUT GOD NUMBER ONE, THOU SHALT NOT REPLACE GOD,

THOU SHALT NOT DISRESPECT HIM, THOU SHALT HONOR HIS

BODY, HIS CHURCH, AND THOU IS GONNA PRIORITIZE FAMILY.

OR HOW ABOUT THIS, OTHERS. AND I THINK IF WE WOULD JUST

BE THAT KIND OF PEOPLE THAT WE WOULD HONOR, I MEAN,

HERE'S THE THING THAT I LOOK AT WITH PEOPLE. HONOR YOUR

MOTHER AND FATHER. AND THEN THEY WONDER WHY THEIR LIFE

IS GOING AWRY. 'CAUSE THE BIBLE TELLS YOU, HONOR YOUR

MOTHER AND FATHER, THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU. WELL,

THE REASON WHY SOMETIMES IT AIN'T WELL WITH US IS

BECAUSE HOW WE'RE TREATING EITHER OUR MOM AND DAD OR

OTHER PEOPLE. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A STORY OF A LADY.

AND SHE USED TO, I THINK SHE WAS FROM AFGHANISTAN BECAUSE

SHE MADE AFGHANS. AND SO THIS LADY FROM AFGHANISTAN,

SHE MADE AFGHANS FOR OTHER PEOPLE. BEAR WITH ME. ARE

YOU ENJOYING THIS? NO, YOU'RE NOT. YOU CAN'T WAIT

TILL I'M DONE. BUT ANYWAY, SHE MADE AFGHANS. BUT THEY

SAID, THIS IS A TRUE STORY, THEY SAID SHE WAS THE RUDEST

PERSON THAT YOU WOULD EVER WANNA MEET. THAT WHEN PEOPLE

WOULD GET AN AFGHAN FROM THEM, THEY WOULD LIKE, WE

DON'T EVEN WANT IT, YOU'RE SO MEAN, YOU'RE SO RUDE, YOU

DON'T KNOW HOW TO TREAT PEOPLE RIGHT. WELL, LATER ON

IN LIFE, SHE WENT INTO A ASSISTED LIVING CENTER AND

THE NURSES WERE ASKING HER, YOU KNOW, "DO YOU HAVE

FAMILY?" SHE'S LIKE, "YES." THEY SAID, "WELL, HOW COME

NOBODY VISITS YOU? "DO YOU HAVE ANY CLOSE FRIENDS?"

"NO, NOT REALLY, I DID." THEY SAID, "WELL, YOU DON'T

HAVE ANY FRIENDS OR ANYTHING, "BUT YOU KEEP

GETTING ALL OF THESE AFGHANS." AND SHE'S LIKE, "I

DIDN'T MAKE THESE AFGHANS." NOBODY WOULD COME TO VISIT

HER. NOBODY WOULD WISH HER HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MERRY

CHRISTMAS. NOBODY WOULD EVER COME BY AND BE KIND AND

NICE, CONSIDERATE, THOUGHTFUL OF THIS LADY WHO

NOW, IN HER OLDER YEARS, WAS IN A NURSING HOME. AND SO

THEIR WAY OF GIVING BACK WAS, SHE WOULD GET AFGHANS,

AND HER ROOM WAS FILLED WITH AFGHANS. AND THE NURSING

PEOPLE SAID, WE CAN'T FIGURE THIS OUT. NOBODY COMES TO

VISIT YOU AND ALL THIS, BUT YET YOU GOT ALL THESE

AFGHANS. BECAUSE HERE'S WHAT GOD SAID. GOD IS NOT MOCKED.

WHATEVER A MAN SOWS, THAT SHALL HE REAP. AND SOMETIMES

WHEN WE'RE OUT THERE BEING UGLY AND NASTY TO PEOPLE,

MISTREATING PEOPLE, WE DON'T REALIZE THOSE ARE SEEDS. AND

WHEN YOU'RE DISRESPECTING YOUR MOM AND DAD, WHAT'S

GONNA HAPPEN ONE DAY WITH YOUR OWN KIDS WHEN YOU NEED

'EM? WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN ONE DAY LATER ON IN LIFE WHEN

YOU WERE JUST NASTY AND UGLY AND WOULDN'T LOVE ANYBODY

AND BE KIND TO ANYBODY AND THEN YOU WONDER WHY YOU'RE

ALL ALONE? BECAUSE WE DO REAP WHAT WE SOW. AND THAT'S

EXACTLY WHAT THAT WOMAN, SHE SOWED SO MUCH DISHONOR AND

UNKINDNESS TO PEOPLE, SHE REAPED IT, NOBODY WANTED TO

BE AROUND HER. BUT BECAUSE SHE SOWED AFGHANS, SHE GOT

THAT IN RETURN. SO THIS IS A POWERFUL PRINCIPLE. HONOR

YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER, BECAUSE ONE DAY, COME ON, I

MEAN, I'M LOOKING AT MY LIFE, AND I'M REALIZING THAT

MY MOM AND MY MOTHER-IN-LAW, THERE'S A CERTAIN HONOR THAT

I HAVE TO BRING BACK TO THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE

TAKEN CARE OF. IT'S AMAZING THAT, KIDS, LISTEN TO ME.

YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH YOUR PARENTS, LIKE YOUR PARENTS,

BUT RIGHT NOW YOU NEED YOUR PARENTS. OH, I DON'T NEED

'EM. OH, NO, THERE'S GONNA BE ONE DAY. ONE DAY YOU'RE

GONNA WAKE UP AND YOU'RE GONNA REALIZE ONE DAY YOU'RE

GONNA HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF A QUESTION. AM I GONNA GIVE

BACK TO MY PARENTS WHO GAVE TO ME WHEN THEY MAY NEED IT

LATER ON IN LIFE? AND HOW YOU TREAT 'EM NOW IS GONNA

DETERMINE A LOT OF THINGS HOW WELL IT GOES FOR YOU.

HOW WE TREAT OTHER PEOPLE. IT'S WHY SOME FOLKS ON THE

JOB, IF THEY WOULD JUST LEARN TO TREAT PEOPLE NICE,

IF THEY WOULD LEARN TO TREAT ONE ANOTHER NICE AND

RESPECTFUL AND KIND, MAN, THEY MIGHT REAP THAT IN

RETURN. RIGHT? ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO TO THE NEXT ONE. I

DON'T KNOW WHY I KEEP PREACHING THESE. THOU SHALL

NOT KILL. ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S ABOUT? WHAT

DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR HEART? BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS OUT

OF THE HEART COMES MURDER AND REVELINGS, RIGHT?

MURDER, IT'S IN THE HEART. THAT WAS WHAT WAS IN CAIN,

HE MURDERED HIS BROTHER. NOW TODAY, PEOPLE MURDER PEOPLE

WITH THEIR WORDS, ESPECIALLY. CHARACTER

ASSASSINATION, FALSE ACCUSATION, GOSSIP, DISCORD,

UNKINDNESS, RIGHT? THOU SHALL NOT MURDER, MURDERS OF

THE HEART. SO I ASK MYSELF A QUESTION. HOW IS MY HEART,

HANK? IS THE LOVE OF GOD REALLY SHED IN MY HEART? OR AM I

QUICK-TEMPERED, FILLED WITH RAGE, FILLED WITH MALICE? AM I A

VENGEFUL PERSON? OKAY, IT ISN'T, MOST PEOPLE SKIP OVER

THAT. OH, I WOULD NEVER GO OUT AND KILL SOMEBODY. YEAH,

BUT YOU DO WITH YOUR MOUTH. YOU DEAL WITH VENGEANCE.

YOUR DESIRE TO GET EVEN WITH SOMEBODY, TO SETTLE THE

SCORE. NO, THAT'S WHY GOD SAID, LOOK, VENGEANCE IS

MINE, SAITH THE LORD. THAT'S WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO SAY TO

CAIN WHEN HE KILLED HIS BROTHER ABEL, OR BEFORE HE

KILLED HIS BROTHER, IF YOU DO WELL, YOU HAVE A CHANCE,

BUT SOMETHING IS IN YOUR HEART, CAIN, IT'S CALLED

MURDER, AND IF YOU DON'T DO WELL, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE A

MISTAKE. AND I KNOW PEOPLE THAT PUT THINGS IN WRITING,

THEY PUT THINGS, COME ON, ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THEY MAKE A,

YOU GOTTA HAVE THAT PHONE CALL, RIGHT? GOTTA HAVE THE

LAST WORD, GOTTA HAVE THAT LAST TEXT. IT'S A FORM OF

MURDER! BECAUSE IT'S IN YOUR HEART TO BE VENGEFUL, TO

SLIDE INTO A PLACE. AND IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL, YOU MAY

NOT PHYSICALLY MURDER SOMEBODY, BUT YOU MIGHT IN

THE WRONG WAY WITH YOUR WORDS AND YOUR ACTIONS. BUT

OH NO, I WOULD NEVER KILL SOMEBODY. YEAH, MM-HMM. I

READ A LOT OF SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS WHERE PEOPLE MURDER

ONE ANOTHER. OKAY, I WATCH THEM MURDER PREACHERS. I GET

ON, "OH MY GOD, I WOULD NEVER HAVE "SO-AND-SO AT THE

CHURCH. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DO? "THEY ACTUALLY

SACRIFICE CHILDREN." I'VE READ SOME OF THOSE, I'M

LIKE, WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO? AND WHAT ARE YOU

BELIEVING? I CAME ACROSS SOMETHING THE OTHER DAY THAT

SOMEBODY SHOWED ME, THAT SOMEBODY BELIEVES THAT

MELANIA IS NOT MELANIA. IT'S ACTUALLY PRINCESS DIANA

DRESSED UP. I MEAN, THEY SHOWED ME THIS. I'M LIKE,

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? SOMEBODY ACTUALLY BELIEVES THIS? I

MEAN, WE BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT WE READ. AND SO, YOU

KNOW WHAT IT DOES IS IT STARTS MESSING WITH OUR

HEART AND THEN VENGEANCE FILLS IT, HATRED FILLS IT.

EVIL FILLS OUR HEART. AND YOU GET PULLED OUT OF THE

LOVE FOR GOD AND YOU GET PULLED OUT OF THE LOVE FOR

SOMEBODY ELSE. LET'S GO TO THE NEXT ONE. THOU SHALL NOT

COMMIT ADULTERY. NOW, SOME OF YOU MIGHT SAY, "WELL, I'M

NOT MARRIED, SO THAT DOES NOT APPLY TO ME." SOME OF

YOU MIGHT SAY, "WELL, I AM MARRIED, "AND I WOULD NEVER

DO THAT, "SO THAT COMMANDMENT CANNOT APPLY TO

ME." AND I STARTED LOOKING AT THAT, AND I SAID, "THAT

DOESN'T APPLY TO ME, NOR WILL IT." BUT THEN I SAID,

"HMM, THOU SHALT PUT GOD FIRST, "THOU SHALT NOT

REPLACE HIM, "THOU SHALT NOT DISRESPECT HIM, THOU SHALT

GATHER WITH HIS PEOPLE, THOU SHALT TREAT MY FAMILY, MY

PARENTS, ESPECIALLY MY MOM, AND OTHERS," 'CAUSE OTHERS

NEED TO BE HONORED TOO, "BEFORE MYSELF. BUT NOW THOU

SHALT WATCH YOUR HEART, HANK, THAT YOU WALK IN THE

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT AND NOT THE FLESH OF ANGER AND WRATH

AND MALICE AND VENGEANCE AND UNFORGIVENESS." "HMM, THOU

SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY." "OH, IT DOES APPLY." AND SO

I SAID TO SELF, "HANK, THE REASON YOU'LL NEVER COMMIT

ADULTERY ON BRENDA IS BECAUSE A, YOU LOVE HER, BUT

B, YOU ARE LOYAL." SO THOU SHALL NOT BE UNFAITHFUL.

UNFAITHFULNESS IS DISLOYALTY. SO HANK, THOU

SHALL BE LOYAL. I DON'T TALK AND GIVE MY HEART TO ANY

OTHER WOMAN, AND IT DOESN'T MEAN SEXUALLY ONLY. I DON'T

GIVE THEM MORE ATTENTION, MORE PRAISE. I DON'T TELL,

NOWADAYS YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL A LADY THAT, "HEY, BOY, DO

YOU KNOW, THAT'S A LOVELY OUTFIT." OR THEY'LL TAKE IT

AS SEXUAL HARASSMENT. SO YEAH, I SKIP ALL THAT STUFF

UNLESS BRENDA'S AROUND. SORRY, LADIES. YOU USED TO

BE ABLE TO SAY THAT WITHOUT GETTING MISUNDERSTOOD, OR

VICE VERSA. IT'S GONE OFF THE RAILS, RIGHT? BUT ARE

YOU OVER COMPLIMENTING? ARE YOU KINDER TO THAT WOMAN AT

YOUR JOB THAN YOUR OWN WIFE? LADIES, DO YOU GO DOWN AND

SERVE THE PT, IS IT STILL THE PTO, OR DID IT CHANGE?

PTO, WASN'T IT THE PTO CLUB? OH, THEY PUT AN A THERE

INSTEAD OF THE O. SO IT'S A PTA CLUB, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE

MORE LOYAL AND FAITHFUL AND HARDWORKING AND SERVING AND

KIND TO ALL THE LADIES DOWN THERE AT THE LADY PT. HEY,

THEN YOU ARE YOUR OWN HUSBAND. HE COMES HOME,

DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A COOKED MEAL. IT'S WHAT YOU'RE

GIVING YOUR LOYALTY TO, RIGHT? HOW YOU'RE TREATING

OTHERS. ARE YOU FAITHFUL? ARE YOU LOYAL? ARE YOU LOYAL

TO YOUR JOB? ARE YOU LOYAL TO YOUR BOSS WHERE YOU DON'T

COME IN LATE? ARE YOU LOYAL THAT NO TEXT MESSAGE THAT IS

ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU'RE MARRIED IS OFF LIMITS TO

YOUR SPOUSE? YOU'RE LOYAL. I LEAVE MY PHONE RIGHT THERE

WHERE MY WIFE CAN GET IT ANYTIME SHE WANTS AND SHE

KNOWS MY PASSWORDS. EVERY ONE OF MY PASSWORDS, HELLO,

I FEEL IT. OH BOY, DO I FEEL IT. SOME OF YOU IN HERE AND

ONLINE, OH MY GOSH. OH, MAYBE THAT WAS ANOTHER

ACRONYM OR USING, GOD, I DIDN'T TAKE YOUR NAME. OH

MY, OH MY, OH MY, OH MY, OH MY. I'M HITTING IT WITH A

NUCLEAR WEAPON ON THAT ONE. SOME OF US, WE HAVE

PASSWORDS THAT IS ONLY FOR ME, NOT MY WIFE. REALLY? AND

I ONLY HAVE MY BANK ACCOUNT AND SHE HAS HER BANK ACCOUNT

AND SHE DOESN'T GET MY PASSWORD, SHE MIGHT TAKE MY

MONEY. REALLY, THAT'S MARRIAGE? I MEAN, DID YOU

GUYS, WHEN YOU GOT MARRIED, YOU GOT TOGETHER AND YOU GOT

ALL YOUR MONEY TOGETHER, OKAY, HERE'S 10 FOR YOU,

HERE'S 50 FOR ME 'CAUSE I WORK HARDER AND I HAVE MORE

EXPERIENCE. HERE'S A DOLLAR, HERE'S $100 FOR ME, AND YOU

DIVIDED UP YOUR ACCOUNTS, AND NOW YOU GOT SECRET

PASSWORDS THAT I, NO, MY WIFE HAS FULL ACCESS,

COMPUTERS, EVERYTHING, FULL ACCESS IN MY HEART. IF SHE

EVER COMES TO ME AND SAYS, "I DON'T LIKE THAT GIRL,"

OKAY, I WON'T TALK TO HER. I DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT. I

SAY THE SAME THING, BRENDA, I DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT

PERSON. OKAY, END OF STORY. IF YOU HAVE TO SIT THERE AND

DEFEND THAT GIRL AT WORK, HUSBAND, YOU'RE IN THE

WRONG. WELL, MY WIFE IS JUST SUSPICIOUS. WELL, YOU MADE

HER THAT WAY. I'M PREACHING REAL GOOD AND I'M NOT

HEARING ANY, OH. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

BUT THOU SHALL BE LOYAL. OKAY. ANYBODY HERE BEEN

MARRIED OVER 50 YEARS? HOW MANY YEARS YOU GUYS HAVE

BEEN MARRIED? HOW MANY YEARS YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN MARRIED

RIGHT THERE? YES. 60 YEARS. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

THEY'RE LOYAL. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) HOW MANY YEARS

YOU'VE BEEN MARRIED? 50 YEARS?

38, I'VE BEEN MARRIED 36. HOW MANY YEARS, 50? THAT'S

CALLED, HUH? 53, WOW, ANYBODY ONLINE, WRITE DOWN

HOW MANY WE CELEBRATE YOU. 52? 62. THAT'S LOYALTY.

WE NEED THAT IN THIS GENERATION TODAY. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO

TO THE NEXT ONE. PASTOR DOUG, YOU CAN START MAKING I THINK

I'M JUST GOING TO PREACH THIS TODAY. THIS HAS REALLY BEEN

GOOD. I MEAN, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ACCORDING TO THE

HTL. YOU GUYS EVER HEARD OF THAT? TYRONE, THAT'S THE HANK

TRANSLATION. YOU SEE THAT? H-T-L, HANK TRANSLATION, NOT THE

THING THAT'S ON THE END OF MICROSOFT, HTL. WHAT IS

THAT? YOU CAN TELL I DON'T USE COMPUTERS LIKE,

HELP ME OUT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS. HELP ME OUT

HERE. HDL. ALL RIGHT, AT LEAST THEY DO FIGURE OUT

WEFI. OK. I TOLD BRENDA, I SAID, CAN YOU RESET THE TV?

IT WAS LIKE FIVE MINUTES BEFORE NEBRASKA, MINNESOTA.

I SAID, BRENDA, HELP, HELP. SHE GOES, WHAT? I SAID, THE

WEFI'S NOT WORKING ANYMORE. GET THAT THING WORKING THERE.

HELP ME OUT. SO SHE HAD TO UNPLUG EVERYTHING. BRENDA IS

THE TECHNOLOGICAL PERSON OF THE FAMILY. SHE COMES DOWN WITH HER.

SHE DOES. SHE COMES DOWN WITH HER LITTLE, SHE HAS

THIS LITTLE LIKE A MINOR, YOU KNOW, LIGHT. SHE HAS HER

TOOLKIT. AND I STAND BACK AND I SAY, "NOW I THINK IF

YOU UNPLUG THAT ONE BUTTON IN THE BACK THERE TO THE

LEFT, BRENDA, AND JIGGLE THOSE WIRES, YOU MIGHT BE

ABLE TO GET IT." AND SHE'S UNDERNEATH THE THING, YOU

KNOW, FIXING IT. AND BRENDA, IF YOU COULD JUST LIFT THAT

HEAVY SHELF AND JUST KIND OF MOVE IT TO THE RIGHT AND

MOVE IT OVER JUST A LITTLE BIT, THINK THAT WIRE MIGHT

WORK. HOW MANY OF YOU, YOUR WIFE IS THE CONTRACTOR OF

THE FAMILY? (LAUGHING) AND THE COOK. (LAUGHING) ALL

RIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON, BRENDA, IT'S MY MESSAGE. ALL

RIGHT, NOW HERE WE GO. NOW LET'S GO TO THE NEXT ONE.

WHAT IS THE NEXT ONE? OH, THOU SHALL NOT STEAL. ALL

RIGHT, SOME OF YOU GO, OH, OH, OH, OH. THAT DOES NOT

APPLY TO ME. I DON'T STEAL AT ALL. HMM, IF YOU'RE LATE,

YOU'RE STEALING. YEAH, YEAH. YOU GOT REALLY, OKAY, SO

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE, THESE

PEOPLE MUST BE LATE PEOPLE BECAUSE IT GOT REALLY QUIET.

I MEAN, IT'S LIKE, I MEAN, SO QUIET. THOU SHALL NOT

STEAL. NOW, YOU MIGHT SAY, WELL, THAT DOESN'T AFFECT

ME. LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT. I REMEMBER THE

ONE THING THAT I STOLE IN MY LIFE, BESIDES MY WIFE'S

HEART. ALL RIGHT, MOM, I AM GONNA CONFESS MY SIN. SO I

WAS ABOUT 10, 'CAUSE THAT'S HOW OLD I WAS WHEN WE LIVED

IN COLORADO, RIGHT? ABOUT NINE OR 10? ALL RIGHT, SO MY

BROTHERS, THEY WERE, I'M SORRY, IF ANY OF MY BROTHERS

ARE WATCHING, YOU GUYS WERE BAD, AND YOU MADE ME BAD.

(LAUGHING) AND SO, YOU KNOW, THEY BROKE INTO A POT

MACHINE AND THEY WERE CARRYING THE POT MACHINE ON

THEIR BACK. YOU REMEMBER THAT STORY, MOM? AND THE

SHERIFF GOT 'EM, YEAH, YOU REMEMBER THAT? AND THE

SHERIFF SHOWED UP AT OUR HOUSE. I HAD NOTHING TO DO

WITH THAT POT STEALING. I HAD NOTHING TO DO. I MEAN,

RATHER THAN STEAL THE POT, MY BROTHER STOLE THE WHOLE

MACHINE. AND SO, THE SHERIFF SHOWS UP AND SAYS, YOU KNOW

YOUR BOYS, WE'VE CAUGHT 'EM IN THE ACT OF STEALING. MY

DAD'S LIKE, WHAT'D THEY STEAL? AND HE POINTS OUT TO

THE POP MACHINE OUT THERE ON THE CURB. [LAUGHTER] SO ONE

DAY I DECIDED, BACK IN THOSE DAYS, I DON'T LIKE SAFEWAY,

BECAUSE IT WASN'T SAFE. [LAUGHTER] SO YOU REMEMBER THOSE

AND DON'T WRITE ABOUT ME ONLINE.

BUT DO YOU REMEMBER THOSE TIGER GUM THAT THEY HAD,

THOSE ZEBRA STRIPED GUM? I REALLY WANTED A ZEBRA

STRIPED GUM. SO I HAD WATCHED MY BROTHERS IN THEIR

THIEVERY, AND I WAS NINE, AND I WAS GETTING MENTORED,

I GUESS. AND SO I DECIDED IN THE STORY, IT WAS TALKING TO

ME. STEAL ME. DON'T DO IT. I TOLD YOU ALREADY, THAT THING

APPEARS. I GRABBED IT, I PUT IT IN MY POCKET. THAT THING

BURNED THE WHOLE WAY HOME. I MEAN, I WAS WALKING LIKE

THIS, 'CAUSE IT WAS BURNING. YOU EVER HAD IT WHERE GOD

CONVICTS YOU OF SOMETHING? I WAS SO CONVICTED, I'M LIKE.

I MEAN, I COULDN'T EVEN WALK, I GET AT HOME, AND I'M

LIKE, OKAY, I GOTTA HIDE THIS, 'CAUSE MY MOM KNOWS I

DON'T HAVE ANY KIND OF MONEY TO BE ABLE TO BUY SOMETHING

LIKE THIS. SO I HID IT, AND IT TALKED TO ME UNDERNEATH

MY DRESSER. I AM A STOLEN ITEM. AND THEN WHAT MADE IT

WORSE IS I DECIDED TO GRAB A PIECE AND CHEW IT FOR ONE

SECOND UNTIL I SPIT IT OUT IN CONVICTION. AND I WAS SO

SCARED THAT I WAS GONNA GO TO JAIL 'CAUSE I REMEMBER

THE COP THAT SHOWED UP AT THE HOUSE. I'M LIKE, I'M

GOING TO JAIL. YOU HAVE A RECORD. WHAT'D YOU DO, STOLE

A PACK OF GUM? OKAY. BUT I WAS SCARED, SO I'M LIKE, OH

MY GOSH, I GOTTA DO SOMETHING. SO I WENT AHEAD

AND I DON'T REMEMBER HOW I FOUND A QUARTER, BUT I FOUND

A QUARTER AND I HAD IT WINCHED, AND I WINCHED IT,

WEDGED IT, I PUT IT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE REST OF

THE PIECES. I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT IT IN THERE. PUT A

LITTLE PIECE OF TAPE OVER IT AND I CARRIED IT BACK AND I

PUT IT BACK ON THE RACK. SO SOMEBODY GOT A STICK OF GUM

AND A QUARTER. BUT GOD TAUGHT ME A LESSON. I NEVER

STOLE ANYTHING IN MY LIFE EVER AGAIN. NOW I'M NOT

TELLING YOU TO GO DO WHAT I DID SO YOU GET CONVICTED AND

NEVER STEAL ANYTHING AGAIN. BUT MY POINT IS, YOU SAY,

WELL, I WOULD NEVER STEAL ANYTHING. WELL, WAIT A

MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE. IF YOU'RE NOT HONEST ON YOUR

TAXES, RIGHT? IF YOU'RE NOT HONEST OVER YOUR FINANCES

AND YOUR TITHE. MY WIFE AND I ON A REGULAR BASIS, WE

PULL UP OUR GIVING AND WE COMPARE IT AND WE MAKE SURE

THAT WE DO NOT COME SHORT IN OUR TITHE. 'CAUSE GOD SAID,

"DON'T ROB ME." WELL, I'M NOT GONNA ROB YOU. I'M NOT

GONNA STEAL YOUR HONOR, GOD. OKAY, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE

MONEY. BUT IF I'M A PRIDEFUL PERSON, SO YOU COULD SAY, AM

I A PERSON OF INTEGRITY, THE H TRANSLATION. IF I'M A

PERSON OF INTEGRITY, I AM NEVER GOING TO TAKE

SOMETHING FROM SOMEBODY OR SOME PLACE. IF I'M A PERSON

OF INTEGRITY, I AM GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT NO MATTER HOW

I DEAL WITH MY FINANCES, HOW I DEAL WITH PEOPLE IN

BUSINESS, COME ON. IT USED TO BE THAT CHRISTIANS WOULD

COME TOGETHER FOR BUSINESS ADVENTURES IN THE CHURCH.

AND THEN I STARTED DISCOURAGING IT. PLEASE

DON'T GO INTO BUSINESS TOGETHER. BECAUSE NOBODY

COULD HONOR ANYTHING. THEY WOULD STEAL FROM EACH OTHER,

STEAL, YOU KNOW. AND I'M SITTING HERE GOING, THOU

SHALL NOT STEAL. THOU SHALL NOT LACK INTEGRITY. YOU MAY

NOT BE STEALING AND SHOPLIFTING, BUT WHAT ARE WE

DOING WITH A LACK OF INTEGRITY? INSTEAD OF DOING

WHAT'S RIGHT, WE'RE NOT. THOU SHALL NOT STEAL. LET'S

GO TO THE NEXT ONE. THOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS

AGAINST YOUR NEIGHBOR. IN OTHER WORDS, THIS HAS TO DO

WITH YOUR WORDS. WHAT ARE WE SPEAKING? WHAT ARE WE

SAYING? HOW ARE WE TREATING PEOPLE? ARE WE ACCUSING? ARE

WE SOWING DISCORD? ARE WE GIVING WORDS OUT OF OUR

MOUTH THAT TEARS ANOTHER PERSON DOWN? AND IF WE ARE,

WE'RE BREAKING THAT COMMANDMENT. LAST ONE, I

WANT YOU TO STAND TO YOUR FEET. THOU SHALL NOT COVET,

OR THOU SHALL NOT, YOU KNOW, DESIRE SOMETHING THAT IS

SOMEBODY ELSE'S. RIGHT? SO HOW, IF I WAS TO LOOK AT

THIS ONE, I'D HAVE TO SAY, WHAT IS MY LIFESTYLE? WHAT

IS MY VALUES? WHAT ARE MY STANDARDS? OKAY, BECAUSE

SOMETIMES PEOPLE, THEY WANT SOMETHING THAT SOMEBODY ELSE

HAS, INCLUDING THEIR AFFIRMATION, THAT THEY'RE

WILLING TO GIVE THEMSELVES FOR IT. AND WHAT WE'RE DOING

IS WE'RE SLIPPING INTO AN AREA WHERE WE'RE DESIRING

THEIR AFFIRMATION MORE THAN WE ARE DESIRING GOD'S

APPROVAL. YOU KNOW, I KNOW PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE

WORLD OF, WELL, EVERYBODY ELSE HAS. MY KIDS TRIED

THAT. WELL, EVERYBODY'S DOING IT. EVERYBODY HAS, AND

I SAID, WELL, YOU AIN'T EVERYBODY. GOD DIDN'T GIVE

YOU TO THEM, RIGHT, AS PARENTS OR WHATEVER. AND CAN

I LEARN? I'VE LEARNED SOMETHING IN MY LIFE. THIS

IS THE STANDARD THAT I LIVE BY. WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING, I

CAN'T SOMETIMES. I HAVE TO SAY, I DON'T CARE. I DON'T

CARE IF EVERYBODY IS DOING THIS, DRIVING THIS, HAVING

THIS, RIGHT? I'M NOT TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE JONESES.

I'M TRYING TO LIVE IN THE BLESSING. AND I'M NOT GONNA

SIT THERE, AND THEN HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS. OUR WORDS GET

IN TROUBLE TOO, BECAUSE HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS. WHEN WE

START LOOKING AROUND, WELL, SO-AND-SO'S GOT A BIG HOUSE,

AND WE DON'T. SO-AND-SO SHOULDN'T HAVE THAT BIG

HOUSE. OH YEAH, ESPECIALLY PREACHERS. PREACHERS SHOULD

NEVER HAVE A HOUSE BIGGER THAN THE ROLLING STONES THAT

LOOK LIKE CALIFORNIA RAISINS. RIGHT? AND THEN

SEEING THEY COULDN'T GET ANY SATISFACTION, THEY'RE BEING

SATISFIED IN A 7,000 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE. IT'S OKAY IF

YOU'RE A ROCKSTAR GOING TO HELL, BUT BOY, I DON'T

BELIEVE THAT GOD WOULD BLESS ANY PREACHER OR ANY

CHRISTIAN, RIGHT? THAT'S A FORM OF COVETOUS. YOU'RE

JEALOUS BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ONE. IF YOU HAD A

70,000 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE, YOU WOULDN'T BE COMPLAINING

TO SOMEBODY WHO HAD, RIGHT? NOW, I UNDERSTAND

MANIPULATION. I UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE BUFFOONERY THAT

HAPPENS AMONG THE PREACHERS THAT ARE BAD EXAMPLES. BUT

HERE'S WHERE WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL. WE DON'T WANT TO

SOW DISHONOR. IF GOD BLESSED ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB,

RIGHT, BLESSED HIS DISCIPLES WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO QUIT

THEIR JOBS, SUPPORT PETER, HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW, AND HIS

WIFE, HE WAS MARRIED, RIGHT, DIDN'T HAVE TO DO FISHING

ANYMORE BECAUSE THERE WAS FINANCES COMING AND THEY

LIVED IN THE BLESSING. AND BY THE WAY, I'VE SEEN WHAT

SUPPOSEDLY IS PETER'S HOUSE IN CAPERNAUM, AND IT WASN'T SMALL.

AND WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT

SOMEBODY ELSE'S BLESSING. DEEP DOWN, IS IT

COVETOUSNESS? 'CAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE IT, YOU'RE GONNA

CRITICIZE. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) I DON'T, I

DON'T, YOU KNOW WHAT? I KNOW A LOT OF PREACHERS, AND I

KNOW SOME THAT LIVE OFF OF THEIR BOOK ROYALTIES. I KNOW

SOME, LIKE ME, I LIVE IN GOD'S BLESSING. LOOK AT THIS

PLACE. I DIDN'T DO THIS. GOD IN YOU, THE PEOPLE DID IT.

AND PEOPLE GET MAD. I'VE HAD PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, HE'S JUST

GOT A BIG CHURCH." WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I LIVED IN A

DUMPY STOREFRONT CENTER FOR OVER 25 YEARS. OKAY, I WAS

IN FIRST CLASS ONE TIME, AND SOMEBODY WALKED BY ME, WELL,

YOU SHOULDN'T BE IN FIRST CLASS. EXCUSE ME, I HAVE

PROBABLY A MILLION MILES ON MY BONES. I TRAVELED 40

TIMES A YEAR, PLUS PASTOR, AND I'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR

40 YEARS. I DON'T WANT TO SIT IN THE BACK ANYMORE. I

DID IT. I GOT TO GO PREACH. ANYWAY, THAT'S A DIFFERENT

SUBJECT. SO PASTOR DOUG, WOULD YOU COME AND PRAY FOR

THE PEOPLE? BECAUSE I DON'T THINK I CAN. I GOT TO WORK

ON MY LOVE. NO, I'M TEASING. I'M JUST MESSING WITH YOU.

DID YOU GUYS GET ANYTHING OUT OF THE HT TRANSLATIONS?

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I STILL DIDN'T GET TO MY MESSAGE,

BUT THAT'S OK. PASTOR DOUG, WOULD YOU PRAY FOR THE

PEOPLE? DID YOU LIKE IT? HEY, I LOVE YOU, MAN. IT WAS

GOOD. LOVE YOU, TOO. ALL RIGHT, SO I'M WORKING ON ME

IN THE WORDS OF ROCKY BALBOA. I JUST GOT TO SAY

THIS. DON'T WALK OUT YET. JUST HEAR ME. REMEMBER HOW

ROCKY, WHEN HE STARTED, HE HATED THE RUSSIANS? AND HE

STANDS UP AFTER HE BEATS THAT RUSSIAN, AND HE GOES,

YOU KNOW, BEFORE I CAME HERE, YOU DIDN'T LIKE ME,

AND I DIDN'T LIKE YOU. BUT PEOPLE CAN CHANGE. SO,

HERE'S WHERE IT'S AT. IF I CAN HONOR GOD AND LOVE GOD

AND LOVE PEOPLE, SO CAN ALL OF US. AMEN. WE CAN ALL CHANGE.

- IT'S PROBABLY TOO LATE TO SAY THIS, BUT I

NOTICED SOMETHING WHEN I'M SITTING UP FRONT AND LOOKING

OUT AT THE CROWD. AS SOON AS PASTOR HANK STARTS TO CLOSE,

WE HAVE PEOPLE LEAVING. AND I UNDERSTAND SOME OF YOU

HAVE JOBS. NOW ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GONE ARE

GONE AND DON'T HEAR ME. AND SO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE,

I DON'T WANNA SCOLD YOU. AND I'M NOT GONNA COME ACROSS

THAT WAY, BUT I DO WANNA SAY THIS. IT'S DISRESPECTFUL, AS

PASTOR CLOSES HIS MESSAGE, TO GET UP AND LEAVE. IF YOU

HAVE AN EMERGENCY, IF YOU HAVE A JOB YOU HAVE TO BE AT

AT 1115, I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT HOLD WITH US, PLEASE. IF

YOU HAVE A JOB NOW IN THE CONNECT CENTER, YOU HAVE

SOMEWHERE YOU NEED TO SERVE, YOU PEOPLE ARE DISMISSED. WE

UNDERSTAND THAT. THAT'S FINE. BUT I THINK I'VE SEEN

50 PEOPLE LEAVE THIS AUDITORIUM IN THE LAST FIVE

MINUTES. AND THAT'S JUST TRUE. SO MAYBE YOU GUYS

COULD HELP ME IN SHARING WITH THE PEOPLE THAT ARE

SITTING AROUND YOU. HANG FOR ANOTHER- IF YOU'RE

GOING TO COME HERE AND BE HERE AS PART OF THE

CHURCH, HANG FOR ANOTHER FIVE OR 10 MINUTES. RIGHT

NOW, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE DO

IN THIS SERVICE IS TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO COME TO THE LORD.

AND IT'S DISRESPECTFUL TO DO THAT. SO THANK YOU. I'M NOT

TRYING TO BE SCOLDING. I'M JUST TRYING TO ENCOURAGE US

TO BE MATURE IN THAT. AND I UNDERSTAND IF THERE'S

SITUATIONS THAT WE ALL HAVE AT TIMES. SO I'M JUST SAYING

IT CAN'T HAPPEN FOR EVERYONE, EVERY SERVICE FOR

50 PEOPLE. SO, OK. BUT ALTAR TEAM, IF YOU'RE HERE TODAY,

YOU CAN COME UP FRONT RIGHT NOW. AND YOU'RE WELCOME. SO

COME ON UP, ALTAR TEAM. OUR ALTAR TEAM IS HERE FOR YOU.

IF YOU NEED MINISTRY TODAY, EVERY SUNDAY WE HAVE OUR

ALTAR TEAM UP HERE NORMALLY. AND THEY'RE WILLING AND ABLE

AND HONORED TO PRAY WITH YOU OVER THE NEEDS THAT YOU

MIGHT HAVE. AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE

WELCOME TO COME UP AT THE END OF THE SERVICE. AND THE

BIBLE SAYS THERE'S POWER IN THE STRENGTH OF AGREEMENT.

AND THERE'S POWER WHEN WE HAVE THE PRAYER OF FAITH IN

AGREEMENT WITH EACH OTHER. AND ANY OF THESE ALDER TEAM

MEMBERS ARE WELL-QUALIFIED AND ABLE TO PRAY WITH YOU. I

DO WANT TO ASK THIS QUESTION, THOUGH. IT KIND OF

HIT ME TODAY WHEN THE WORSHIP TEAM WAS SINGING,

"TO WORSHIP YOU, I LIVE, AND I LIVE TO WORSHIP YOU." AND

I WAS THINKING ABOUT, REALLY, WHAT IS OUR PURPOSE?

WHY DID GOD CREATE US? WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE FOR GOD TO

CREATE MANKIND? HE DIDN'T HAVE TO CREATE IT. HE DIDN'T

HAVE TO HAVE MANKIND. BUT HE DID THIS FOR A PURPOSE. AND

OUR PURPOSE, REALLY, IF YOU STUDY IT OUT, IS TO GLORIFY

HIM. AND THAT SONG THAT THEY WERE SINGING, "I WORSHIP

YOU, AND I LIVE TO WORSHIP YOU, AND TO WORSHIP YOU I

LIVE," WELL, THAT'S REALLY ALL ABOUT THAT, BRINGING

GLORY TO GOD. THAT'S WHY WE'RE CREATED, TO BRING

GLORY TO GOD. AND HE HAS A TREMENDOUS PLAN FOR EACH OF

OUR LIVES. HE HAS A PLAN FOR YOU THAT MAYBE YOU DON'T

EVEN KNOW ABOUT. MY MESSAGE NEXT WEDNESDAY NIGHT IS

REGARDING THE VISION. ONE OF MY STATEMENTS IN THE MESSAGE

THAT I WAS LOOKING AT IS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL EITHER

PART OF THE MISSION FIELD OR WE'RE MISSIONARIES. WE'RE

CALLED TO GO OUT AND REACH PEOPLE OR WE'RE STILL PART

OF THE MISSION FIELD, PART OF THE HARVEST. WE'VE NEVER

ACCEPTED JESUS YET. WE'RE IN ONE OF THOSE TWO SPOTS. AND

SO I'M SPEAKING TO PEOPLE ONLINE TODAY. I'M SPEAKING

TO PEOPLE HERE. YOU'RE IN ONE OF TWO PLACES. EITHER

YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY TO HEAVEN, YOU'RE SAVED, YOU

HAVE A PURPOSE AND A PLAN, AND YOU KNOW THAT GOD IS

WORKING WITH YOU. EVERY ONE OF US, WHEN WE WERE CREATED

IN OUR MOTHER'S WOMB, WE'RE BORN WITH A VACUUM. THAT

VACUUM IS WHAT GOD HAS TO FILL WHEN WE RECEIVE HIM AS

SAVIOR. AND HE FILLS THAT, AND WE'RE EMPTY UNTIL WE GOT

- HAVE THAT IN US. AND THEN WE KNOW GOD'S PURPOSE. WE

WEREN'T CREATED TO SERVE BUDDHA. WE WEREN'T CREATED

TO SERVE MUHAMMAD. WE WEREN'T CREATED TO SERVE THE

DEVIL AND GO TO HELL. AND THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE GO WHEN

THEY LEAVE THIS EARTH AND THEY DO NOT KNOW JESUS

CHRIST, BECAUSE HE SAYS, "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND

THE LIFE. NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT BY ME,"

MEANING JESUS. HE'S OUR ONLY WAY. AND WE ALL NEED TO KNOW

THAT AND UNDERSTAND IT. AND IF YOU UNDERSTAND THAT AND

UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE A PURPOSE AND THAT GOD WANTS

YOU TO BE HIS WHILE YOU'RE ON THIS EARTH AND THEN TO BE

HIS THROUGH ETERNITY - ETERNITY IS A LONG, LONG TIME. THIS LIFE

GOES VERY SHORT. IT'S VERY FAST. BUT THE DECISIONS THAT YOU MAKE

THIS TIME WHILE YOU'RE ON EARTH AFFECT YOUR ENTIRE ETERNITY. THE

DECISION - JUST THINK ABOUT THAT. THE DECISION THAT YOU

MAKE, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION YOU CAN EVER MAKE,

IS TO SERVE GOD. IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR CAREER.

IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHO YOU MARRY. IT'S MORE

IMPORTANT THAN HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE. IT'S MORE

IMPORTANT THAN HOW MANY MATERIAL POSSESSIONS YOU

GATHER. THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION YOU'LL EVER MAKE IS

HAVE YOU MADE JESUS CHRIST THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE? SO I

WANT EVERYONE HERE TO BOW YOUR HEADS WITH ME NOW. AND

I WANT TO ASK A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION TO YOU.

IF YOU WERE TO LEAVE THIS PLACE, LEAVE THIS EARTH,

THIS WEEK, SOMETHING TOOK YOU OUT. AND YOU WERE TO

MOVE INTO ETERNITY, AND IT HAPPENS TO MILLIONS EVERY

WEEK. THEY MOVE ON TO THEIR ETERNAL DESTINY. SOME PEOPLE

GO TO HELL, SOME PEOPLE GO TO HEAVEN. BUT IT'S BASED ON

YOUR DECISION THAT YOU MAKE WHILE YOU'RE ON THIS EARTH.

YOU CHOOSE. GOD IS NOT ONE TO MAKE A ROBOT OUT OF YOU.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE CHOICE. YOU HAVE FREE WILL TO

CHOOSE. AND IF YOU HAVEN'T MADE THAT DECISION AND YOU

SAY, "PASTOR DOUG, I WANT YOU TO PRAY FOR ME TODAY. I

WANT TO KNOW THAT BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, WHEN I

LEAVE THIS EARTH, I WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE WITH

JESUS. I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL. PLUS, I WANT TO KNOW

THAT I'M FULFILLING GOD'S PLAN FOR MY LIFE." HE HAS A

GREAT PLAN, JUST AS THOSE LITTLE CHILDREN WERE BROUGHT

UP HERE TODAY. PASTOR HANK HAD A WORD OVER THEM, A PLAN

FOR THEIR LIFE, THINGS THAT THEY WERE GOING TO

ACCOMPLISH AND BE CREATIVE IN. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL THING.

HE HAS THAT FOR YOU, WHETHER YOU'RE EIGHT OR 80. YOU JUST

MAY NOT KNOW IT YET, BECAUSE YOU'VE NEVER STEPPED INTO

EVERYTHING THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU. IF YOU'RE HERE TODAY

AND YOU SAY, "PASTOR DOUG, I WANT THAT. I WANT ETERNAL

LIFE. I WANT TO KNOW GOD'S PLAN." I'M GOING TO ASK YOU

TO, WHILE YOUR HEADS ARE BOWED, DO SOMETHING VERY

BOLD. JUST RAISE YOUR HAND RIGHT HERE IF YOU'RE HERE

TODAY AND SAY, "I WANT PRAYER." I'M GOING TO COUNT

TO THREE, AND I WANT YOU TO RAISE YOUR HAND. ONE, TWO,

THREE. IS THERE ANYONE HERE? AND YOU SAY, "I NEED JESUS.

I NEED JESUS. KEEP YOUR HAND HIGH SO I CAN SEE IT. DO I

SEE SOMEONE UP IN THE... OKAY, THERE'S SOMEONE DOWN

HERE. IS THERE SOMEONE UP IN THE STADIUM SEATS? DID YOU

RAISE YOUR HAND? THE LIGHTS ARE BRIGHT. IF YOU RAISE

YOUR HAND, THERE'S A FEW OF YOU, I WANT YOU TO DO

SOMETHING VERY BOLD. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO STEP OUT

OF YOUR SEATS AND COME DOWN TO THE FRONT IN FRONT OF

ME." YOU SAY, "WHY DO YOU HAVE ME DO THAT?" EVERY TIME

JESUS CALLED SOMEONE, HE CALLED THEM PUBLICLY. AND

IT'S A DAY THAT YOU WILL REMEMBER. IT'S THE MOST

IMPORTANT DAY OF YOUR LIFE. SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO

MAKE A PUBLIC COMMITMENT. WE'VE ALL DONE IT. GET OUT

OF YOUR SEATS RIGHT NOW AND RUN DOWN HERE. LET'S BRING

THAT UP A LITTLE BIT. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT, VERY

IMPORTANT. GIVE THEM A HAND AS THEY COME. [APPLAUSE]

GIVE THEM A HAND AS THEY COME. THE MOST IMPORTANT

DECISION YOU EVER MAKE. IF YOU DIDN'T RAISE YOUR HAND,

YOU'RE STILL WELCOME TO COME. COME MAKE A DECISION

FOR CHRIST TODAY. HE'S WAITING. HE'S WAITING ON YOU.

THERE'S AN OLD SONG. THERE'S AN OLD SONG TALKING ABOUT

THE CROSS. WE HAVE TO COME TO THE CROSS. MILLIONS HAVE

COME, BUT THERE'S STILL ROOM FOR ONE. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

COME TO HIM. COME TO HIM TODAY. COME ON

UP HERE. I'M GONNA HAVE YOU JUST COME RIGHT UP HERE LIKE

THESE LADIES AND JUST FACE ME. WHAT'S YOUR NAME, MA'AM?

OLIVIA, GOD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO BOLD. SIR,

TODD, YOU GAVE YOUR HEART, BUT YOU NEED TO RENEW. YOU

KNOW, AND COMING BACK TO GOD IS JUST AS IMPORTANT. IF

YOU'VE GOTTEN OFF TRACK, HE'LL TAKE YOU. THAT'S,

THANK YOU FOR BEING BOLD. OLIVIA AND JENNY, GOD BLESS

YOU, JENNY. AND YOU KNOW, MY HEART ALWAYS JUST MELTS WHEN

I SEE YOUNG PEOPLE COME, BECAUSE WHEN YOU COME,

YOU'RE MAKING A DECISION THAT'S GONNA AFFECT YOU FOR

SO MANY YEARS, AND IT'S A CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE. WHAT'S

YOUR NAME, YOUNG LADY? CHARLIE? CHARLIE, GLAD TO

HAVE YOU HERE. I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE. THANK YOU FOR

BEING BOLD. AND WHAT IS IT? AREN? A-R-E-N? A-U-R-N.

OH, A-R-E-N. A-U-R-O-N. OKAY, HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE THAT?

-AARON. OKAY, WELL, THANK YOU FOR COMING, AARON. I

CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT. GOD BLESS YOU. THAT'S VERY

IMPORTANT THAT YOU'VE BEEN BOLD TODAY AND RESPONDED TO

JESUS. HE'S GONNA CHANGE YOUR HEART. SO WHAT I'M

GONNA DO TODAY IS ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING VERY SIMPLE. IT

ALL STARTS WITH A SIMPLE PRAYER. YOU MAY NOT EVEN

FEEL ANYTHING WHEN YOU PRAY, BUT WHEN YOU PRAY IN FAITH,

GOD HEARS YOU, AND HE'LL RESPOND TO YOU, AND IT'LL

MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE, AND THEN YOU JUST

START WALKING IT OUT. AND THE BIBLE SAYS WE RECEIVE

HIM THROUGH CONFESSION AND BELIEF IN OUR HEART. AND I

KNOW YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT JESUS GAVE HIS

LIFE AND GAVE HIS HEART, HIS SOUL, HIS BEING FOR YOU. HE

DID IT WHEN HE DIED ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY. AND NOW

THE GOOD NEWS IS HE WAS RESURRECTED ON THE THIRD

DAY, WENT TO HEAVEN, AND NOW HE'S INTERCEDING ON YOUR

BEHALF. AND HE'S THERE WAITING, HIS ARMS

OUTSTRETCHED FOR YOU, AND THIS IS THE DAY THAT HE'S

MADE FOR YOU TO MAKE THAT DECISION. I'M SO GLAD I'M

REJOICING WITH HEAVEN IN THIS. IF YOU HAVE LOST OR

LOVED ONES THAT HAVE GONE ON TO HEAVEN BEFORE YOU,

GRANDPARENTS, PARENTS, AUNTS AND UNCLES, THEY'RE

REJOICING TODAY BECAUSE THEY SEE YOU COMING FORWARD. JUST

REPEAT THIS WITH ME AS I PRAY TODAY. IF YOU'RE

WATCHING ONLINE, YOU CAN DO THE SAME THING WHEREVER

YOU'RE AT TODAY. RECEIVE JESUS RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE AT.

SO YOU PRAY WITH ME. FATHER IN HEAVEN, THANK YOU FOR SENDING

JESUS. I BELIEVE HE WENT TO THE CROSS OF CALVARY.

HE GAVE HIS LIFE. HE DIED FOR ME. HE WAS BURIED. AND THE

BIBLE SAYS HE ROSE AGAIN ON THE THIRD

DAY. AND NOW HE'S SITTING IN HEAVEN, INTERCEDING FOR

ME. JESUS, COME INTO MY HEART, CHANGE

MY LIFE, AND I WILL SERVE YOU ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE.

BE THE LORD OF MY LIFE. I ASK THIS TODAY ON OCTOBER

19TH, 2025, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE NEW BIRTH IN

JESUS' MIGHTY NAME. AMEN. AMEN. LET'S GIVE THEM A

HAND. I'M GOING TO ASK THE ALDER TEAM TO JUST GIVE YOU

SOME INFORMATION QUICKLY AND WE'LL SEND YOU A LETTER

THANKING YOU FOR MAKING THIS DECISION. ALDER TEAM, IF YOU

JUST KIND OF WORK WITH THESE AND GET THAT INFORMATION.

AND IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE TODAY, YOU CAN CALL

OUR PRAYER LINE 855-777-7907 AND WE'LL SEND THE SAME

INFORMATION. OUR PRAYER TEAMS WILL PRAY WITH YOU AND

HELP YOU IN YOUR WALK WITH THE LORD. SO THANK YOU FOR

DOING THAT. GOD BLESS THESE THAT HAVE MADE THIS

DECISION. WELL, JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK

ANNOUNCEMENTS AND THEN I PROMISE YOU I'LL LET YOU GO.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR NOVEMBER 13TH. THERE'S TWO

EXCITING THINGS HAPPENING ON NOVEMBER 13TH. FIRST OF ALL,

IF YOU'RE NOT A MEMBER OF THIS CHURCH AND YOU WOULD

LIKE TO ACTUALLY SERVE HERE, SERVE UNDER PASTORS HANK AND

SECOND THING, WE'LL GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION ON THIS,

PEOPLE THAT REGISTER FOR THAT, YOU'LL HAVE THAT

PRIVATE THEATER WITH LORD OF HOSTS PEOPLE. IT'S $12 A
