8th February 2026 - Now Then, I Am In Covenant With Purpose? Pastor Agnelo Xavier

Very quickly, join with me in Isaiah chapter 55.

Isaiah 55 · chapter mention

Heavenly Father, I commit this time into your hands, for this house is yours, your people are yours, O God.

You are Father, you are Abba.

And we humble ourselves, Lord, and we thank you, Lord, for being our Heavenly Father.

And in your name, Lord Jesus, and by the power and presence of thy Holy Ghost, that you would minister to each one of our hearts.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.

Amen.

You may be seated, please.

Isaiah chapter 55, very quickly, verse 8.

Isaiah 55 · chapter mention

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.

He has declared it.

As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

As the rain and the snow cometh down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bird and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater.

So is my word that goes out from my mouth, says the Lord, it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire, says the Lord.

And achieve the purpose which I have sent it.

This morning, if I want to emphasize, the Holy Spirit gave me a word for you that now then, if I put a topic to it, is now then I am in covenant with purpose.

Is to understand that your life has purpose.

Amen.

Brother, could you cut the echo if you don't mind?

Give me some more bass.

And it makes the speaker very nervous, okay?

Some bass cut the echo.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

Okay.

Purpose is what will have you face another day.

Hallelujah.

And to understand that, I believe that God will renew your mind because our minds are conformed to the pattern of this world in order to break loose and have our minds understand the word of God that we have purpose.

You have purpose.

The speaker has purpose.

The lights have purpose.

And if these things have purpose, as I explained to a taxi driver yesterday, and he was sharing about many things, and he was a guy of another faith.

But when I shared with him about purpose, he lit up.

His name was light.

I explained to him that God is a relational God, and God has a purpose for him.

Don't tell me about religion.

I don't I don't believe in religion.

I told him that.

Send the Son.

But today, if you understand that a raindrop, even a drop of rain, it falls with purpose.

Hallelujah.

Are you with me, church?

You coming to church and going from church and you existing on a daily basis is purposeful.

Amen.

In Joshua chapter 1, if you turn very quickly to me, I believe there's a video.

Joshua 1 · chapter mention

Could you just throw that video for me?

This is one of the movies that our children, uh, as they grew up, they made us watch it a hundred times.

So it just stuck, okay?

And uh so I just thought I'll I'll give you a clip of it.

Uh I hope you like it.

There is no good or bad.

Master, your vision, your vision was right.

Tai Lung has broken out of prison, he's on his way.

That is bad news.

If you do not believe that the dragon warrior can stop him.

The panda?

Master, that panda is not the dragon warrior.

He wasn't even meant to be here, it was an accident.

There are no accidents.

Yes, I know.

You've said that already.

Twice.

Well, that was no accident either.

Thrice.

My old friend, the panda will never fulfill his destiny, nor you yours, until you let go of the illusion of control.

Illusion?

Yes.

Look at this tree, Sifu.

I cannot make it blossom when it suits me, nor make it bear fruit before it's time.

But there are things we can control.

I can control when the fruit will fall.

I can control where to plant the seed.

That is no illusion, master.

Ah, yes.

But no matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree.

You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.

But a peach cannot defeat Tai Lung! Maybe it can.

If you are willing to guide it, to nurture it, to believe in it.

But how?

How?

I need your help, master.

No.

You just need to believe.

Promise me, Shifu.

Promise me you will believe.

I will try.

Good.

My time has come.

You must continue your journey without me.

What what what what are you what?

You can't leave me.

You must leave.

After the death of Moses, Joshua chapter one.

The servant of the Lord.

The Lord said to Joshua, son of Nun, Moses is aid.

Moses, my servant, is dead.

Now then, you and all these people get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I'm about to give to them, to the Israelites.

Moses, my servant, is dead.

We will not understand the essence of what it means to Joshua and all the Israelites.

But if I would take you back down memory lane, that the dad that you looked up to, the grandpa that you looked up to, the mother or grandma that you looked up to, the leader, the spiritual leader that you looked up to, we can understand, we can relate to spiritual leaders, spiritual fathers or mothers in the faith that when they pass away, we would feel that we are alone.

And what do we do with our lives?

What do we do from here?

How do we go on?

The same thing that Joshua felt that when Joe, when when the Lord told uh Joshua that Moses is now dead, you've got to get on with the purpose.

The people were looking at Moses because Moses brought them out from bondage.

Moses brought them out from slavery.

Moses brought them into the wilderness.

Moses did signs and wonders, brought them through a sea, a dry bed or a sea.

And people were looking up to Moses and many times in our lives, in your life, that we will displace God for the boss that took your interview and gave you the job, the business that took off, that you've displaced God for the leader that is above you, or has led you, or has helped you, for the parent that has that has been so good to you, and suddenly they are gone, they're over.

But God comes into the picture then, now, and will always come into the picture that it was Him.

You and me may have not understood or acknowledged Him or given Him gratitude, but all the while it was God.

Where were you when you were born?

Did you plan your birth?

How can you plan your death?

You didn't plan your name.

Who were your parents?

It was God.

You want to ask Jesus?

Why did He choose?

Why did the Heavenly Father choose a carpenter?

He could have chosen a king.

Why a stable?

Why not a palace?

Why a cross?

It should have been a marble tomb.

Are you with me?

He was buried in a marble tomb, the richest of riches.

But why a cross?

It's about purpose.

If you and me would understand that there is power, there is essence, there is consequences in purpose.

Are you with me, church?

Then you would understand that why you exist, you would understand that what you're going through has purpose.

You would understand that God has not overlooked you, but God is with you.

Hallelujah.

So when God is telling Joshua that Moses, my servant, is dead, he's telling him to get his heart and mind off Moses and get his heart and mind on I am.

One plus God is always a majority.

It was in Moses.

And if you'd understand very clearly, that only two out of the millions that came out of Egypt, the land of Ham.

Only two.

Are you with me, church?

I believe the Spirit of the Lord is opening your mind.

You've got to understand that if you don't take purpose seriously, then you live your life without accomplishing what God has for your life.

You get some money, you get some property, you do some stuff, you do some functions, you do some programs, you get applause from people, you're written down and recorded in history.

But you'll you will perish.

But your life will just be a story or maybe a testimony.

But if your life story is going to take people from a place to their destiny, that's a greater story.

Are you with the Lord for just a story or for greater grace and greater story?

If you want to hang out with God and hang out with church and hang out with the scriptures and just be for the hanging out, I'm in, I'm out, I'm there.

But if you're not understanding that there is purpose in your life and purpose in coming to church, and purpose to going to office and purpose for the school and purpose for your home and the children that are there, the stuff that is there, it has purpose.

If you want God to come, you have to align your will to His will.

How many of us want the presence of God?

Come on, throw both your hands up.

Amen.

Put it down.

It's very simple.

It's very simple.

If you want the presence of God, you tell God, I'm in this for you.

You want the presence of God to come to your house, right?

Just tell God, I'm your for your purpose.

Are you with me?

You know how God will come first.

He will attack you.

He will hit your finances.

Say, but I'm tithing God.

I'm giving offerings, I'm giving to the projects.

He will hit your finances, he will hit your friends, he will hit everything that you thought would help you accomplish your purpose.

Satan will attack your consecration.

Because if you're consecrated, God will always walk with you.

Amen.

I hope you're getting what I believe the Spirit of the Lord is trying to tell you and me today.

That if Satan is attacking you, then you are special.

Are you with me?

Instead of instead of one day I was sitting down and I said, Lord, come hello, high water.

I'm with you, I'm for this Lord.

And I was sitting down, but the enemy was just coming against me, and and the Spirit of the Lord told me, Why are you whining?

Why are you sitting in the corner?

When you can be powerful.

I will go forward.

It's another thing to stand up and take ground.

When we say take ground, we get into our car and travel for a conference.

Satan hits our home, it's hits our children.

We are sick.

The last conference we were sick.

I was driving sick people in the car, 1400 kilometers.

Sick people could not stop because they were sick.

When the pastors are weeping, the pastors are broken, and the pastors are remade.

Because come hell high water.

We take ground.

We take ground, we take a step.

He may come against us, but he can't slay us.

I take ground.

My wife takes ground.

We take ground.

You gotta you gotta take ground.

And the other thing is to walk your talk.

You know why we take ground?

You know why your pastors take ground?

You know why you take ground?

It's because you love God.

The only thing that will make you stick it out and stay it out is when you love God.

And God tells Joshua, I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.

God tells Moses, you broke faith.

You didn't uphold my holiness amongst the people.

Church, I want you to understand this that the man who saw God face to face, who had the glory of the Lord upon his face, whom God personally buried, God tells him, You broke faith.

If you are to please God, if you are to finish the race well, we are we are ministering with pastors and spiritual leaders and church leaders, and we understand that that is one thing to start it, the other thing to finish it.

And you must finish well.

Believers, church members, it's not about you accepting Jesus Christ and getting baptized and coming to church and being part of the castle, it's about you finishing your race well.

I said, well.

In order to finish your race well, in order for you to take hold of your family and say, No, no, this is this family.

These children will not die young.

These children will accomplish the God-given purpose for their life.

Fathers, throw your hands up, please.

I want to see you.

Some are hesitant.

Put your hands down, thank you so much.

Husbands, throw your hands up, please.

Thank you so much.

To be husbands, throw your hands up.

Amen.

There are some guys of faith here, amen, hallelujah.

We take ground, we take a stand, we claim our home and household for the Lord.

Hallelujah.

Amen, church.

You take stand, you take a hold.

He says, I will take a stand, I will speak the word to my family, I will pray and intercede.

Now, in order for you to take ground, you got to spend time in the quiet place.

You can do nothing without the power of God, you can do nothing without the presence of God, you can do nothing.

So God says, You've got to stand, but you've got to stay with my word, you've got to understand the scriptures, you've got to meditate upon the scriptures, you've got to set your foot.

If you set your foot, setting your foot is that you've got to make decisions in your mind.

If you're setting your foot, you've already decided that you're going to do something great for the Lord.

Not for yourself, for the Lord.

Are you with me?

Are you with me?

Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

So if you seek God's kingdom and God's purposes, then you don't have to run away because one day with the Lord is equal to a thousand years elsewhere.

One day of favor is equal to a thousand days of labor.

Are you with me, church?

You need the favor of God.

To have the favor of God, you need to say, God, I will set my foot, I decide to serve you.

Come what may.

You're not in this for money.

Don't ever be in this for money.

I give my tithes and offerings and it's going to multiply.

That is a promise, but that promise will be fought by Satan.

So if you put your mind off that and say, My I'll put my mind and heart upon first on seeking the kingdom.

Because when I seek the king and his kingdom, all these things that the king has promised will come to you in his time.

He's the God who records, he's the God who remembers, he's the God who rewards.

Are you with me, church?

Somebody give me some water.

This guy is thirsty.

Thank you.

Okay.

Thank you.

Very quickly, I'd like to take you to some promises.

Our ministry is a ministry of encouragement.

We're a Barnabas ministry.

And people tell us why why you why you why you encouragement?

I say I'm focusing on just encouragement.

Let somebody else focus on water baptism.

Are you with me?

When you focus on your strength, on the viring that God has given you, please don't try to be like your brother or sister.

You be like them when they're in Christ.

But you be like you.

If you be like somebody else, somebody, some other church, some other company, some other organization, you will not fulfill your destiny.

You're fulfilling someone else's destiny.

Because God has made just one you.

And if you put your mind and heart on you, you may not have a thousand, you may not have ten thousand, but you'll have someone.

When they reach, when you reach heaven, he will stand up and say, It's because of him.

I'm here today.

That matters.

Because When that person stands up and the other person stands up and the other person stands up and you're focusing on your strength, John Maxwell said it like this that if for the strengths, if you work with your strengths, and it's eight and nine, you work on your eight and nines, people line up to come and watch the eight and nines.

But you've been struggling, you've been battling, you've been getting discouraged because you are trying to work on your two and three and four, and the two and three and four of your weaknesses is somebody else's strength.

But your strength is somebody else's weakness.

And what you can do is you tell God, I will work with my strength and give you glory.

You work on my weakness and also get the glory.

Because he said that he can he will work, his his his power is made perfect.

Are you with me?

John the Baptist, there are many pastors in all of North India, and North India is seeing revival.

Pastors walk by and people fall down, people get healed, delivered.

This is happening, it's the truth.

And many pastors tell me, Pastor, my people say, Pastor G.

They say, Pastor G, Pastor G, why can't you do the miracles?

Why can't people fall in our church?

Why can't the you know the lepers come and get healed and and the the stretchers, they they just stand walking?

So I said, tell them.

John the Baptist didn't do one miracle.

Are you with me, Church?

He just focused on his calling to water baptize.

When you focus on your calling for one thing, the Son of the Most High God will come and say, I want to be part of your strength, your calling.

Would you please baptize me?

If you want God to honor you and people to honor you, let love and faithfulness never leave you.

Tie them to your neck and write them on your heart.

Are you with me?

If you love God and love people, and you're faithful to God and faithful to your calling, whatever it may be, to serve tea, your calling maybe to drive, your calling may to maybe do anything.

Focus on your calling.

You have a calling, a specific calling.

Worship team has a calling.

The the worship leader has a calling.

You know what's their calling?

Hallelujah.

God's way of function.

When they go for war, they would never like to be part of the worship team or worship leader.

You know why?

When the Israelites went for war, they went first.

Anybody wants to worship leader?

Not me.

Want to come up and stay?

Not me.

But in the spirit, they're doing that.

Worship team, I hope you understand what you're doing.

And you'll be weeping through the week and you'll be praying and crying out to the Lord.

Because if you win the battle here, the people who come, they win their battles at home.

You've got to understand your calling.

It may seem a stage, it may seem lights, it may seem cameras.

But Satan doesn't look at cameras and stage and lights.

He's looking at you, he's targeting you.

And if you're playing with him, if you're having just to sing a song and do that, he won't come to this church.

He comes to places where he's threatened.

He'll get you outside.

Monday to Tuesday.

Is the song now?

Tuesday to Wednesday.

Is the song right?

Every day is church.

What God tells Joshua, He did not tell Moses.

Because the Lord was now ready to do something marvelous.

And 40 years, it's not just four months or four years that you're in the faith, or you're coming to destiny, church, or you're you're you're walking with the Lord a little closer.

It's 40 years that Joshua and Caleb walked very close with God.

40 years.

Are you willing to endure?

If you're willing to endure, then God will have nations be transformed because you, because of you.

Are you with me?

You are not a nobody, you're just ordinary, you're a somebody.

I'm speaking to somebody, I'm speaking to soldiers, I'm speaking to giant killers right now.

You've got to understand who you are and what you have inside of you.

We have come, we've crossed the ocean and come here.

Hallelujah.

And it costs a fortune.

They say, Why are you going?

So I do not know.

God is leading.

But you are that important.

Hallelujah.

Not just because I'm preaching, because come to confirm to you and tell you that pastors out here are feeding you good food.

Your pastors are nurturing you.

Your pastors are putting a covering over you.

And that's why you are saved, you're protected, you're blessed.

Because of your pastors, hallelujah.

We come, we go, but they are faithful.

They love God, they're faithful to God.

And that's why many a times the sword comes to you, but it cannot attack you, it cannot overcome.

There are weapons that have been formed against you, but they will not prosper.

Because pastors, your pastors have covered you with the anointing and the covering.

Are you with me, Church?

You got to understand that you're in a fold, a spiritual fold.

You're not just coming to a place, you're coming to a spiritual covering, a spiritual umbrella that God honors, God has appointed, and God has anointed with power.

Hallelujah.

You step out, you step out of the out of the hedge.

You start searching because God has appointed you for this church, and God will bring others here back to this church.

Hallelujah.

When God tells Joshua some stuff, he tells him if you read your scripture, says, Tell the people to read the Bible, to read the scriptures, to read the law.

You know why?

Because the scriptures are full of encouragement.

Full of encouragement.

You want to be encouraged?

Read the scriptures.

You want to be strengthened?

Read the scriptures.

Hallelujah.

Very quickly, a verse which I but uh verse 9.

It says that, have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous, do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

It's powerful, it's very powerful.

He talks about God is telling Joshua to tell the people that telling Joshua that you gotta be courageous, you gotta know, you gotta have faith, you gotta be strong.

You know why to be strong?

Because you are gonna get weak.

You pray for people and pray for people and pray for people, you're gonna get weak.

You're gonna go to work and come home, go to work and come home, you're gonna get weak.

Hallelujah.

You're gonna you're gonna serve your family and serve your family and serve your family, you're gonna be weak, you're gonna get weak.

So God says, be strong.

Because God knows our viring that you are gonna get weak.

You are gonna get fearful.

Every day has a new fear, and discouragement always comes to stay.

That's why God says, Do not be discouraged.

You see, I would like church, I would like to share with you that God says, I have commanded you.

You see, when you break a command, you're sinning.

The Lord corrected my discouragement and he told me, You dare be discouraged.

And you dare fear.

If you fear, fear can come around you, you may get afraid, but don't let fear overcome you.

If you fear, allow it to take over you, you are sinning.

If you get discouraged, the enemy will try to get this to discourage you.

As we come up to preach, or you go into your car, you're sitting down at your table at office, you go home, you're sitting at the dining table.

Come, Mr.

Discouragement.

Come and sit beside you.

Can't recognize that spirit, but it will come, it'll whisper.

Are you with me?

Are we relating to something?

And discouragement, Mr.

Discouragement is a visitor that doesn't want to leave.

You gotta kick him out.

Are you with me?

So anytime you feel discouraged, you see, in the name of Jesus, I command you to leave and speak a verse from the scripture that God says, Do not fear, God says do not be discouraged.

The Lord says, I will never leave you nor forsake you.

No one will be able to stand up against you all your life.

This is these are encouragement, these are powerful, encouraging words, and the one who said it is the one who will keep it.

Are you with me?

Come on, get excited.

You gotta understand that the Lord has chosen you for something special, and you dare not batter it for discouragement, you dare not barter it for fear.

God will give you faith.

You're not going to break faith, you're gonna have faith.

Are you with me?

You speak, you speak to the to the to the disease, you speak to that illness, you speak to that that lack, you speak to that weakness, you speak to that fear.

In the name of Jesus, you will have to leave.

Hallelujah.

I will never leave you nor forsake you, I will be with you wherever you go.

You see, Joshua, this is what Joshua did now, but I believe that you're gonna do that also.

Joshua, he put things together, and he said, We are going to go across to the land and fight.

But when Joshua decided there was a preparation of prayer time, you have to pray.

There's not an option, you have to pray.

You would rather pray and see your children fulfill their destiny than not pray and see your children go into drugs, see your children go into booze, see your children waste their life.

You dare not do that.

There's a covenant.

You are called to be a parent, there's a covenant, you're called to your marriage, there's a covenant.

Covenant is not man-made, contract is man-made, covenant is from the Lord, it's from heaven, it's a spirit, it's a spiritual binding.

Hallelujah! And it has eternal consequences.

You've got to live your life with covenant.

Amen.

To live your life with covenant, you've got to understand what's covenant because covenant is not a contract, a contract is built on distrust, a covenant is built on trust, a covenant is built because of some profits and some results, but a covenant is built based on relationship.

A covenant says, I go this part, I go this far.

But if you fail, I go no further.

A covenant says, I will go all the way.

When you become a believer, God has called you to be in covenant relationship with Him.

One part is His, next part is yours.

We have misunderstood Christianhood, we misunderstood the believer life.

The believer life is not just I am a believer, I sing songs and worship, I carry my Bible, I read my Bible.

No, no, no, no, no.

When things go wrong, when things go the way that you never expected, you gotta live your life with covenant.

I will go all the way, Lord.

Even though it doesn't seem that that the way I thought it would be, that way I prayed it, the way I believed, God says, You gotta believe, you gotta believe, you gotta believe.

It's not your time, it's my time.

Now then, now then is this.

Now is when the chrono, the chronos, the time that is a very, very, you know, it's a it's a it's a it's a chronological, it's a it's a day, it's an hour, it's a seconds, it's minutes, it's God says, I will bring the Kronos and the Rhema together.

You will be dreaming, you will be crying, tears of joy, no more tears of mourning and tears of sorrow, but tears of joy.

Wait upon the Lord.

This is what the Lord says, the Holy One of Israel, that in repentance and rest is your salvation, but we will not have it in quietness and trust is your strength, but we will not have it.

We just want to move, we just want to get on, we just want to do this and do that.

But Joshua understood that when Moses got up from the tent and went, he was still on his face at the at the at the tent entrance and he was praying, he was seeking the Lord.

If Joshua could do it, I believe you can do it.

Are you with me?

There's something about waiting upon the Lord, there's something about covenant, there's something about his purpose.

When you set your foot, when you set your gaze, when you set your heart, you know what Joshua did when he was fighting battles?

This is what this is what Joshua did.

Many of us, we hear about Moses, we know about Moses, but we don't understand the power of allegiance with God, the power of God's faithfulness.

When the people were when the enemies, five kings, were fighting Joshua, and Joshua needed to go on in the battle.

You see, when you slay the enemy in the time of when the weakest moment, you will get your victory.

Now, how to do that?

You gotta get the enemy at the weakest point, and the weakest point is after the sun goes down, the enemy goes to rest.

But Joshua, he asked the Lord, he told the Lord, give me this Lord, he spoke to the sun and said, Son, you will stay there.

And he didn't leave the moon, he said, Moon, where you're hiding, you're also gonna stay there.

Hallelujah! And the Bible records that is never a day before, and since a day or to come a day when the Lord listened to Ayumidmeen.

If you keep covenant for purpose.

You know what is the sun staying midday and didn't go down 24 hours?

It's regarded by Nasser.

You know what happens with the moon and the sun?

The sun does not move.

You know geography, you know science, the moon does not move.

The moon moves a little bit, yeah, it rotates, but the sun does not move.

Slight movement here and there.

Sun does not go down or come up.

You know what Joshua did?

He literally asked the Lord, you will stop rotation.

Oh, it's a powerful thing.

Because when rotation stops, the waters will be thrown out, everything will shake, earthquakes, there'll be tsunamis.

Not one thing happened like that.

That's a great miracle.

You've got to understand the power of covenant with purpose.

Science cannot understand that.

You and me would love to have that, but there's a cost to pay, to stay in covenant for God's purpose.

God says, now then.

Now then.

And God says, now then, to you, to your family, He's talking about that it's time today.

Today is the hour.

Don't look for tomorrow, don't look back.

Because today, God can do that miracle.

Today, this very hour.

And he says, then, then means there's action.

There's action from promise to fulfillment.

The enemy has told you lies that it didn't happen, it'll never happen.

That's a lie.

With God, all things are possible if I believe.

Amen.

All things.

There's an end to it, there's action.

But the first is my faithfulness.

It comes with surrender.

Are you willing to surrender to God?

Are you willing to surrender?

It comes with obedience.

Are you willing to obey?

Are you willing to obey?

Are you willing to obey?

Then I don't understand what's happening.

But I will just obey you, Lord.

Lord, I don't, I don't have, but what I have, I give thee.

And Lord, it's difficult.

And the Savior Himself says, if it's your will, take this cup from me.

He was struggling, he was battling, but he had to keep covenant with his father because it was about his father's purpose, and the father's purpose is about his glory.

We say, I'll give you glory, Lord, I'll give you glory, Lord, I'll give you glory, I'll glorify your name, Lord.

You pursue God's purpose, he gets the glory.

When he gets the glory, his eyes will be upon you, his eyes will be upon your children, his eyes will be upon your workplace, his eyes will be upon your business, his eyes will be upon your ministry, his eyes will be upon you.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah.

Joshua said, but as for me and my house, but as for me and my house, I don't know about you.

Choose either's day.

You can choose.

You make decisions right now.

You're making decisions.

You make decisions to obey God, or you make decisions not to obey God.

The result is consequential, eternal consequence.

You must understand your decisions are hanging on eternal consequences.

But I believe this church, every one of you, are going to make a decision that I will be in covenant for purpose.

Hallelujah.

But as for me and my house, me and my house, you gotta understand the seriousness of your life.

It's not about you.

God says, the people take these people, take these people.

You take your household, everyone, every one of your child is important, every one of your children are important, everyone.

Some will be a carpenter, some will be an engineer, everyone, the carpenter.

When people looked away from the carpenter, God says, I choose the carpenter.

Hallelujah.

Have mercy upon us, God.

Every one of your children are important.

Your spouse is important.

You take your spouse up to the Lord and say, God, use him.

Use the Lord.

You got to fast and pray.

You don't know how to fast?

You can do a Daniel fast.

Pastor was already told you already.

You gotta fast and pray.

You're gonna say, get back to the secret place, to the quiet place.

Church, stand with me in the presence of the Lord.

Stand with me.
