A Visit To The Archive

Good to see you. If you have your Bibles, go

ahead and reach and get it. Man, did they not

usher in the presence of the Lord today? Thank

you, guys. Wonderful. Wonderful. It's always

good, but some days is gooder than other days.

That's the same way with what I'm about to do.

Hopefully, it's always good, but some days it's

better than others. I know I feel like it's better

than others. Sometimes when I leave here, I think,

my Lord, that was pitiful, like last week. Sure.

I'm going to try not to be as personal. Tell

all my tales about myself. I ain't going to try

to do that no more. Appreciate you coming back.

Any visitors in the house? First time visitors,

anybody? Hang on, we're about to take a ride.

And they got you plumbed down front. They were

no better than that on your first visit. My Lord.

Amen. On the 21st of September, that's a Sunday,

right? I think it is. We're going to have a staff

appreciation day for the people who labor among

you. Amen. Pastor Brian, Sister Erica, Brother

Randy, Sister Robin, Sister Sandra. We're going

to appreciate them that day. Amen? I'm going

to get with those. We're getting into a very

highly fellowship season. So just get prepared.

We're going to spend some time together over

the next couple months. I hope that's okay. And

if you don't want to spend time with us, stay

at the house. See, there they should have warned

y 'all. But if you'd like to spend time together,

come on. And we're going to eat whatever's out

there, and we're just going to have a wonderful

time. I mean, if you do, absolutely not. You

just can't stand fish. Raise your hand. Let me

share something with you. Don't eat it tonight.

Just don't get a piece. And you'll be fine. There's

going to be some chicken strips. And all kind

of side stuff for you. You won't leave hungry.

There will be enough dessert that you can make

it until you get to McDonald's. But what you

can't find at McDonald's is each other. Amen.

Fellowship is the strength of the church. We

grow stronger when we're together. I firmly believe

that. If you have your Bibles, be turning to

Exodus chapter 40, Exodus 40. We're about, well,

Exodus 40 · chapter mention

we started last week. I'm going to preach for

a little bit until the Lord turns me loose from

it. On this, a visit to the archives. Yeah, a

visit to the archives. And what that means is,

as the Lord leads me, I have four scrolls, I

call them. This is the 99 version. I got four

of these, and then I have some loose leaf parchment

that was before that. We're going to revisit

the archives, is what I call it. And we're going

to drag out the papyrus. And I don't have any

animal skins. I'm not that old. But for the next

last week and for the next few weeks, I will

be preaching from the previous century. Messages

that the Lord spurred me on early. And what I

got to thinking about that, the previous century.

Makes me sound really old. I am getting there.

Thank you, Fred, for that reminder. Always a

brother in Christ to keep lifting you up. Appreciate

that. It's okay, Sister Ann. We're going to be

all right. You are. Well, truth is truth, isn't

it? Yeah. Exodus 40. A visit to the archives.

Verse 34 reads, Then a cloud covered the tent

of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord

filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able

to enter into the tent of the congregation because

the cloud abode their own. And the glory of the

Lord filled the tabernacle. And when the cloud

was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children

of Israel went onward in all their journeys.

But if the cloud were not taken up, then they

journeyed not till the day that it was taken

up. For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle

by day and fire was on it by night in the sight

of all the house of Israel throughout all. Their

journeys. A visit to the archive. This little

word today is a secret to our success. A secret

to our success. Now mind you, this was in the

last century. Lord, I love you and I thank you.

Thank you for your goodness and your mercy. Your

help, your hope. And all that we need today is

in you. And so I ask, Lord, now for your richest

blessings. And on our ears to hear, Lord, send

forth that spirit that causes it to be easy to

preach. And, Lord, we will leave this place strengthened

and built up through your anointing. In Christ's

name, the church said, amen. There was a Google

search done a little bit ago on the secret. And

there were over 500 million results came back.

Everybody's got their own secret. If there's

500 million letting it out, I don't think it's

a secret anymore. The secret's out. Amen? When

we begin to look at this passage of Scripture

here, it's the ending of the book of Exodus.

The Spirit of the Lord is moving. The tabernacle

is already constructed and His glory is sitting

upon it. Amen? The cloud became the symbol of

the Lord's presence. This season and time of

Israel's life, they looked for the cloud. Sometimes

the cloud was over them. Sometimes it was behind

them. Sometimes it was in front of them, going

before. The Lord was over them to shield them,

behind them to protect them, in front of them

to lead them to where he wanted them to be. As

we look at this text this morning, I think it

serves us well again as another reminder. As

the Lord is over us, behind us, and before us,

he's also beneath us, holding us up. Amen? So

as this reminder, Moses... He gives the people

in Deuteronomy 1, after a discouraging report,

Moses reminds the people that God is with them

in chapter 1, verses 28 through 30. Sounds like

a good reminder for us today. You and I need

to know that the Lord is with us, even though

sometimes we receive discouraging reports. Amen?

For Moses, it was those ten negative spies that

come back out of the land. Oh, there's giants

there. We can't go over there. Well, what does

the place look like? Well, now, it's exactly

like God said it was. It's flowing milk and honey.

Look, we brought some fruit back. We got grapes

the size of plums, right? Everything's exactly

like God said, but the sons of Anak are there.

There's some giants in the land, and we are not

able. To take it. Well, that just hit Moses the

wrong way right off the bat. I mean, it just

rubbed him wrong. What do you mean? I'm here

to tell you today that the Lord is encouraging

us. Caleb gets excited. He gets upset. Joshua's

all, they're in this thing together, he and Caleb.

And Caleb says, look, we can do this. God's going

before us. He's with us. He's promised, let us

arise right now. Let's go get it. But how many

know discouragement can really set you back?

Psalm 84 and 11, the psalmist says, here's a

little encouragement. For the Lord God is a sun

and shield. The Lord will give grace and glory.

No good thing will he withhold from them that

walk uprightly. Amen? The secret to our success,

we succeed when the Lord's presence is with us.

I mean, the revelation's out. It's not a secret

any longer. You succeed when the Lord's presence

is with you. And that's what Moses is telling

us, and he's letting everyone know, and he's

letting Israel know. When the tabernacle was

there, the glory of the Lord set on it. It was

so thick, Moses couldn't even go in. They didn't

go anywhere as long as the cloud was on the tabernacle.

Amen? and they look for the light, how would

you like to be the tent closest to the pillar

of fire? I mean, it was lit all night long. I

can't sleep with the light on. I'm learning.

It's difficult. Amen? How would you like to be

that by the pillar of fire at night? Even though

they're kind of camped a little bit away, everybody's

all the way around it, so the light shines in

everybody's tent door. Nobody's sleeping good.

But can I tell you what a reassurance it would

be? What happens if the light isn't shining?

Oh, my Lord. What if the light isn't on? God's

presence, where is he? Amen. Every night in their

journey, the cloud went with them as they journeyed.

Everywhere they went, the presence of the Lord

went with them. Can you see where this is going

already? Everywhere we go, the presence of the

Lord goes with us. There's no place that you

can't go. What did the psalmist say? I can go

to the heavens, you're there. I can descend to

the lowest. I can even go all the way down into

hell itself. and your presence that there's nowhere

I can go that I can escape you. Somebody needs

to know that this morning. Wherever you're at,

whatever danger you may find yourself in, whatever

battle zone, whatever foot of the mountain that

you're looking up, everywhere you go, God is

going with you, especially the presence of the

Lord goes with those who are walking uprightly.

Therein lies the key. Here is the secret. For

the Lord God is a sun and a shield. The Lord

will give grace and glory. No good thing will

he withhold. from them that walk uprightly. You

go in him, his grace goes with you, his presence

goes before you. And when we begin to look at

this secret to success, keys to success, I looked

up some of these. There were several different

ones. One of them, this is the keys, seven keys

to success. Ambition, focus, hustle, patience,

persistence, grind, or grit, and sacrifice. Another

one said desire, direction, destination, drive.

Determination, dedication, and discipline. Factor

of four for success. Hard work. 84 % of Americans

said if you work hard, you're going to succeed.

Another 65 % said talent. If you got the talent,

you're going to succeed. 55 % said it's who you

know. It's the people you know. It's the network

that you're in. 55 % of people say you cannot

succeed without that network. And then the others

said luck and circumstance. Well, I'm crossing

that out right there. I do not believe in luck.

Why, pastor, don't you believe in luck? Because

luck is happenstance. I happen to believe that

the steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord.

Amen. I happen to believe that God is sovereign,

and he will favor those who walk uprightly before

him, and no good thing will he withhold from

them according to his word. So it's not luck.

If good things are coming your way, it's because

the hand of God is looking over you. It's the

favor of God. that is bestowing upon you. It's

not luck, honey. It's the goodness of God. It's

the presence of God that is going with you. Oh,

then what is the bad stuff? It's the enemy coming

against you, or it's a test of your faith. But

even in the bad stuff, even when things are going

wrong, God's presence is still there. The cloud

is still with you. The fire will still go and

illuminate the darkness of your life. He's not

going to forsake you, and he'll not hold any

good thing in the midst of what bad is going

on in our life. See, we think bad stuff happening

is the absence of God's presence. No, it's not.

That's what the devil said. Well, if God loves

you, he wouldn't let that happen to you. He loves

me. He let it happen to me. And he's going to

give me grace to get through it. Amen? So some

of the secret things to our success. Number one

is understanding your salvation. Amen? Salvation.

It's not a secret. It's out there. Amen? It's

openly and it's widely known. 2 Chronicles 20,

17 says, You shall not need to fight in this

battle. Set yourselves, stand you still, and

see the salvation of the Lord with you. When

there's hardships coming your way, when you're

not looking at a mountain, but you're looking

at a Red Sea, and the people around you are panicking,

amen? We were watching, what was that little

show we was watching last night? The Incredibles,

right? I was watching. me and Cameron and six

guys sitting there watching Incredibles and it's

when the plane was shot down and the kids and

mama's in the in the in the water there and the

kids are just going off they're panicking and

hollering she said She pushed up to it and said,

we're not going to panic. Don't panic, amen.

Your ship's not going down. He's not going to

let you go down. His salvation is with you. What

does salvation mean? By definition, salvation,

a person or thing that is a means or cause or

the source of preservation and rescue. That's

what it is. And when you understand that the

salvation of the Lord is with you, sometimes

you have to get a grip on yourself and say, self,

stand. Stand still. Seth, get a grip. Seth, don't

move. Rest assured that you're in the grace and

the love and the power of God. But stand still

and see. the source of your help. Stand still

and realize the source of your rescue. Hallelujah.

Because the Lord is thy salvation. Hallelujah.

And when you begin, the only reason we succeed

is because of the Lord's goodness and his rescuing

efforts of our everyday life. And because I have

been rescued, I know that I shall succeed. Now

remember, I'm 30 years younger. I'm everywhere

with this. Now I just do good to hold on to it.

The problem is your and my definition of success.

That's where the dilemma comes in. It's how you

define whether you're succeeding or not. It's

like 58 % of Americans feel like you're succeeding

if you make over $200 ,000 a year. That leaves

a bunch of us out as failures. If you're in here

and you're over that, God bless you, then you're

succeeding according to America's standards.

You're succeeding. Hallelujah. But let me tell

somebody in here, it's broke, busted, and about

halfway disgusted. That 200K is not the measurement

of your success. Neither is it the measurement

or the measure which you go by as your encouragement

and you get your joy from it. Hallelujah. No,

that is not where it comes from. But for us all,

the 200K and over and the 25K and under, we get

our goodness and we get our blessings from the

Lord. And my joy and my success is not wrapped

up in my bank account. The joy of the Lord, that's

what's bringing about. And we're going to get

to that in point number three if we ever get

off a point. Number one, but the reason we are

succeeding is because of the salvation of the

Lord. You succeed. Some of the richest people

in this world don't have two quarters to rub

together, but they have the salvation of the

Lord secure in their heart. And when hard times

come, they stand, they sit themselves, and they

watch for and see the delivering power of God

in their life. Hallelujah. Exodus 14, 13 -14,

Moses said unto the people, Fear you not. Stand

still, see the salvation of the Lord, which he

will show to you today. For the Egyptians, whom

you have seen today, you shall see them again

no more forever. The Lord shall fight for you,

and you shall hold your peace. Now, isn't that

very encouraging? Because the Lord is my source.

The Lord is the means whereby I am rescued and

delivered. That's what salvation is. And when

I understand, look. When you get a good grip

and a good hold on your relationship with God

through his son, Jesus Christ, emboldened by

the power of the Holy Ghost, let me tell you,

you can walk your way through Bank Repsy Court

and come out shouting on the other side. How

do you know? Because I've walked down through

there. And I'm here to tell you right now, you

can do it and you can hold your head up. I know

the devil tries to put shame on us, but who is

he anyway? He's the condemner of us, but God

is. He's the one who is the restorer of our soul.

And I'm here to tell you it doesn't matter how

broke you are or have been or how wealthy you

are or have been. All of the in -between of that

is surely knowing that you have a good, firm

grip on the salvation that you have from Christ,

through Christ, and in Christ. And only by that

can we succeed at anything in life. I'm here

to tell you right now, if you don't work at your

relationship with God, it will fail. It's just

like anything. Any other attempt you do in life,

any attempt at business or work, if you don't

put in forth the effort, then you're going to

fail at it. If you're not going to put forth

effort at school, they will give you zeros. I've

got a few bonus points in the past just for effort.

Didn't mean it was correct. They felt sorry for

me, but look, I'll take it. I tried. One thing's

for sure, if you do not ever try, you will never

succeed. It works that way with your relationship

with God. You have to put forth your best foot

and walk in his grace and walk out the salvation

that he so freely gives to us. And once you get

a hold of that, everything in between, you'll

be like the Apostle Paul. He said, I have found

whatsoever state I'm in therein to be content.

If I'm abounding, I'm happy. base, I'm happy.

It doesn't matter what shape I'm in. It doesn't

matter what the enemy throws at me. It doesn't

matter what they come against me with. I've got

a good grip. One thing I do. This one thing I

do, brethren, I'm trying to get a grip on what's

got a grip on me. And I'm trying hard to do it.

But the very thing that I do, first of all, is

I forget those things which are behind me. And

I press toward the mark for the prize of the

high calling of God in Christ Jesus. That's the

way you're going to make it. You put the past

behind you, put Christ before you, and know it's

the glory that you have in the power of salvation.

You can make it. Well, visit to the archives.

We got a couple more verses for salvation. There's

four points to this thing. It ain't gonna happen.

So we'll just take our time. How's that? 2 Samuel

22, 47. The Lord liveth, and blessed be my rock,

and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.

We used to sing that little verse. The Lord liveth,

blessed be the rock. May the God of my salvation

be exalted. Hosanna. Right? Hosanna. Give us

that little old song right there. There's an

understanding. The Lord liveth and blessed be

my rock. And exalted be the God of the rock of

my salvation. Again, Psalm 725 and 5. Lead me

into thy truth and teach me, for thou art the

God of my salvation. And on thee do I wait all

the day long. Whichever one of these people put

patience on their list for success, you've got

to be patient. Amen. And I know I'm looking at

a bunch of patient people. Yeah, you've got all

day, all week, all month. You've got the rest

of your life, and you're just patiently waiting.

No, that's not the way we wait. We wait anxiously,

don't we? Well, let me just say I do. I wait

anxiously. You say, well, you're the pastor.

Well, I still get tore up myself. Amen. I still

am in a hurry for God to do what I need him to

do. Come on now. How many of you just got the

rest of your life to wait on him to do what he's

got to do? Well, if necessary, we do. But that's

not the plan in our mind. I need God to move,

and I need God to move yesterday. Today's a little

late, but I'm still here, and I'm still waiting.

That's just the way we process. That's the way

we are as human beings. We want what we want.

when we want it and how we want it. Amen. But

listen, when we wait patiently for the Lord,

it all works out in the Lord's will. It always

works out for his purpose. And when it works

out to his will and his purpose, we become the

ones who are blessed by it. So wait, I say, on

the Lord. Wait, I say. Wait patiently on the

Lord. Why? Because they that wait upon the Lord

shall renew their strength. Hallelujah. They

shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall

walk, not grow weary. They shall run and not

faint. Come on, somebody. We've got to learn.

to wait, wait, wait, wait, wait on the salvation

of God to be released into your situation. Let's

see. Oh, 2 Corinthians 6 and 2 says, For he saith,

I have heard thee in a time acceptable, and in

the day of salvation have I secured thee. Behold,

now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the

day of salvation. What does all that mean? The

Lord's got it marked for you. He's got it marked

for us. Whatever going on, whatever dilemma,

whatever situation's going on in our life, there

is a day that he has marked down. How can you

say that? Because when the time was perfect,

God sent forth his son. Hello, are you with me?

When the time was right. There was an appointed

time for Christ's birth, and he wasn't coming

before, and it wasn't going to be after. But

when the time was accomplished, God sent forth

his son. Can I tell you, when the time is accomplished

for the dilemmas and the situations of our life,

according to his word, God is going to send forth

his salvation, and there's nothing the devil

can do about it. Are you hearing me? When God

says it's coming, there's nothing the devil can

do about it. Ask old Daniel. He prayed 21 days

locked up. Amen. And the angel was dispatched

with his answer. And he was hindered by the prince

of the power of the air of Persia. And the fight

was on. But let me tell you something. When the

answer is dispatched towards you, there may be

a delay. But God hasn't denied you your petition.

Hallelujah. So you got to wait. You got to wait.

You got to wait. And we are, I mean, we just

ooze with waiting. I avoided Zaxby's the other

day because I didn't want to wait for the line

wrapped around the building. Traded one line

for another. We went to Chick -fil -A. But they've

got two lines and they move faster. I love it.

They come to the window and say, can I have a

name for your order? I said, Harold. Don't ever

give them your real name in case you lose it

while you're waiting. They don't say, they said,

give me your name, then I'm hooked. I can't say

Harold. I have to tell them my name. But when

they said, I need a name for your order, Larry.

Fred, let's go with Fred. You really want to

blow their mind, I tell them, Kathy. Every one

of them looks up. Without doubt. I say, it's

her. She's eating today, not me. I'm on carnivore.

Give me some grilled chicken nuggets. They're

good, but they're not as good as them with that

stuff all over them. We just don't wait well.

Tune it up. Because look, until you learn to

wait on the Lord, he's going to make you wait

on him. Until you learn to wait, wait not as

in twiddling our thumbs and patting our foot.

Some of you just do this. Just get all tore up.

How long is it going to be? How much longer is

it going to be? How much longer I got to wait?

Wait, as in defined as serve. Lord, let me wait

on you. Let me get down here and worship you.

Holy is the Lord. Holy is the Lord. Glory to

your name. Amen. Let me wait on you. Lord, I

love you and I thank you and I praise you. Oh,

thank you for what you've done for me. Thank

you for what you're going to do. Let me wait

on you. Wait upon the Lord. While I'm down there.

Amen. Or while I'm walking with my hands. Let

me just lift up my hands unto the Lord. Amen.

Let me lift them up. Let me do what the psalmist

said. Let me do a wave offering. Somebody give

him a wave. We used to do that a lot when I was

a kid. Pastors say, give the Lord a wave offering.

What's that mean? Here I am. Lord, and I know

where you are. Hallelujah, and I'm just offering

you with the body that you've given me. Let me

give you a little prayer. Give the Lord a way.

Oh, clap your hands, all ye people. Amen. The

psalmist declares again a shout with the voice

of triumph. While I'm waiting, Lord, just let

me shout for your glory. If we learn to wait

like that, time goes by. Succeed because he succeeds.

He refuses to allow us to fail. Again, you may

have to redefine your definition of success.

Because what he sees as success and what you

and I know as success are two totally different

things. The Lord sees worship. I always think

of that little widow woman and her might. As

Jesus is set by the offering bucket at the temple,

watching people come in and give their offering.

Some come in with vast amounts and make sure

everybody see them. They jingle it, they shake

it, and then they put it in. When everybody know

how much, they didn't really get the Lord's attention

that much. But when that little widow woman come

up with that little old... Penny offering. Come

on now. Had that little penny offering and she

put it in. It stopped the Lord and he stopped

his disciples. Look, look, look. I want you to

look. There's worship. The others gave out of

their excess. She has given out of her need.

Take mind of that. Amen. Take mind of that. Sometimes

you sow your way out of a drought. I'm going

to get hung up right here. Sometimes you sow

your way out of brokenness. Our church has done

that. We gave our way out of debt. We gave Gideon's

money when we didn't have any money to give.

We should have gave it to somebody else. Like

a lender. We put. Bibles, somewhere, wherever

they put them, we sowed. We sowed into ministers'

lives in the state of Illinois when their overseer

phoned in and talked to the state council of

Tennessee when we were in the state council meeting,

talking to our bishop. Had a need, had a request.

Wasn't much. I've heard a whole lot more. I think

it was like $3 ,000, what he asked for, and the

Holy Ghost said, you give it. I was already thinking

about the conversation that Sister Robin and

I had on that previous Monday. I said, Lord,

if I give it, we're going to have to make it

in small monthly installments. He said, I don't

care how you give it, give it. So with tears

dripping at a council table, I said, Bishop,

Hopewell Church of God's got that covered. And

we did. We did. That's how you do it. If you're

broke, busted, disgusted, check your tithe record.

If you're not tithing, if you're tipping, God

ain't going to bless you. I've been seeing on

Facebook where they're saying that they preach

tithing, it's a lie. Well then, you better take

it up with God. Because it's all through his

book. It's a principle. It's a principle of giving.

predates the law, postdates the crucifixion and

resurrection. And you can't convince me any different.

Give your way out. Salvation. First key to our

success. Second key to our success. God is your

help. You say, well, that sounds like the first

one. I think you're starting to catch on. There's

really only one key. The psalmist said in 46

and 1, God is our refuge and strength, a very

present help in trouble. Psalm 121, the psalmist

said, I will lift up mine eyes into the hills

from whence cometh my help. My help comes from

the Lord who is the maker of the heavens and

the earth. And then he goes on down and he starts

talking about how the Lord's going to be your

keeper. Your keeper. Your keeper. The Hebrew

word for keeper is protector. And then he goes

on down and he says keep. Keep. Keep. Preserve.

Preserve. He's going to preserve you. He's going

to keep you. Some of you, I almost. Let me get

to the next verse. I'm going to say some of you

look like preservers. But if you'll pop that

lid, you'll get fresh. Hebrews 4 .16 says, Let

us therefore come bold into the throne of grace

that we may attain mercy and find grace to help

in the time of need. He's your help. Psalm 20.

Let me go over here and read this one to you.

Psalm 20. The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble.

The name of the God of Jacob defend thee. Send

thee help from the sanctuary and strengthen thee

out of Zion. Remember, all thy offerings. and

accept thy burnt sacrifice. Grant thee according

to thine own heart and fulfill all thy counsel.

We will rejoice in thy salvation and in the name

of our God will we set up our banners. The Lord

fulfill all thy petitions. Now know I that the

Lord saveth his anointed. He will hear him from

his holy heaven and with the saving strength

of his right hand. Some trust in chariots, some

in horses, but we will remember the name of the

Lord our God. They are brought down and fallen,

but we are risen and stand upright. Save! Lord

the King hear us when we call. He'll help you.

He'll be there for you. Psalm 33. I'm going to

wind this thing down. You're about done. Psalm

33 and 20. Our soul waiteth for the Lord. He

is our help and our shield. For our heart shall

rejoice in him because we have trusted in his

holy name. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us

according as we hope in thee. The Lord is your

help. Psalms 60, 11, and 12. Give us help from

trouble. For vain is the help of man. Though

God, through God we shall do valiantly. For he

it is that shall tread down our enemies. Isaiah

57 through 9. For the Lord God will help thee.

We succeed because he desires for us to succeed.

He hears us when we call. Part of our problem

is sometimes we don't call, we complain. You

better stand on that one. He hears those who

call upon him. We succeed because the Lord is

our salvation. We succeed because the Lord is

our help. And when we're surrounded by trouble,

we need to call on the Lord. Because evidently

the help of man is not sufficient. We can help

each other to a certain degree, can we not? And

we should and we are supposed to. But the help

that we need is really required of the Lord.

Because when he enters in, the perception of

the situation changes. The perception. I didn't

say the situation. The perception that we have

of the situation changes. How so, Pastor? Because

when His presence is there, all things are possible

to those that believe. For God, nothing is impossible.

If the Lord releases us next week, I'm going

to talk about the joy side of this and the refreshing.

Sometimes we just need to know what to do with

our trouble. We need to know what to do with

our situation. We cast all of our care on the

Lord. Why? For he careth for you. And what's

impossible for you and I is ease to him. We sung

about it. Move the immovable. Move the impossible.

What was some of that other? What's that other?

God we believe. Do you believe for it? Simple

request this morning. If you need God to move

anything, if you need God to take a mountain

down to part a Red Sea, stand still and see the

salvation of the Lord. Moses, what do you have

in your hand? Well, it's that rod you had me

pick up here a while back. Well, stretch it out.

And the scripture said, and God caused the wind

to begin to blow. Lord, I love you today. Lord,

you know each one of us.
