The podcast will feature preaching

from our pastor and from other ministers, so we hope you enjoy it.

Without further ado, let's get right into it. God bless.

Praise the Lord, everyone. Are you glad to be in the house of the Lord on a Sunday morning?

Amen. My favorite time of the day or time of the week, Sunday morning.

I've always loved Sunday morning for some reason. I don't know.

I like the way that sun's shining in today.

Amen. I believe God's going to do something in this house.

Amen. How many believes he's going to do it? Just do it, Lord.

Have your way. Amen. Man, it's better than what Nike says. Just do it.

I mean, God can do above and beyond all that.

Praise the Lord. Just lift your hand today and just thank God for his presence.

Thank him for his goodness.

Thank him for his mercy.

Aren't you glad for God's mercy today?

Amen. If it wasn't for the mercy of God, we'd be lost.

But because of the mercy of God, we are here today alive, and we're excited

about God and expecting great things. Hallelujah.

I'm glad to have my wife with me and my son, my daughter back there. Amen.

We are so happy to be with you all again in the service today.

Thank you to your pastor, Brother Young, and his wife for having us be with

you all. It's truly an honor and a privilege to be here.

Amen. I enjoyed the music. How about you? Did you enjoy the music this morning? Amen.

Amen. Praise the Lord. I have a sermon here today that comes from the book of 1 Kings 10, verses 1-7.

1 Kings 10:1–7

Hey man, just quite a bit of reading.

I'll try not to read the entire chapter, and you can do that when you get home. Amen.

Amen, but I'll just cover what I have here today for this sermon,

and I hope it really helps someone in this service. I believe in results.

I wanna see results, don't you?

I wanna see God move, amen. I shouldn't be content if God ain't moving.

Man, I wanna see God move, amen.

Praise God, I believe He's gonna do just that. Amen, if you come expecting,

you can have, praise the Lord. Anybody in here today want to receive something from the Lord?

Any receivers in here today? Amen.

Praise the Lord. 1 Kings 10, verses 1 through 7.

1 Kings 10:1–7

And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name

of the Lord, she came to prove him with hard questions.

And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bear spices

and very much gold and precious stones.

And when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.

And Solomon told her all her questions.

There was not anything hid from the king, which he told her not.

And when the queen of Sheba had seen

all Solomon's wisdom and the house that he had built and the meat of his table

and the sitting of his servants and the attendance of his ministers and the

apparel and his cupbearers and his ascent by which he went up and to the house of the Lord,

there was no more spirit in her.

Amazing. Such detail. Amen.

He had it all going on. And she said to the king, it was a true report that I heard.

Everybody say heard. In mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom,

how be it I believed not until the words, until I came. See, she was an unbeliever.

And mine eyes had seen it. And behold, the half was not told me.

Amen. Thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.

Amen. Today, I would like to preach on this thought or topic,

an exceeding experience, an exceeding experience.

Praise God. How many wants to have an experience today?

Praise the Lord. Let's lift our hands toward heaven just because we have the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Amen. We can receive more of God. We can have another touch.

We can have another blessing.

Praise God. Lord, we ask you today to move in this house, God.

Lord, I pray you would anoint me, Lord, to deliver today, God.

I pray you and anoint our ears and our hearts to receive your word, God.

We lift you up, Lord. You said, if I be lifted up, I will draw a minute to me.

Praise God. As we begin to lift you up, Lord, your glory will come down and touch the people.

So we lift you up today, God. We ask you, Lord, to minister in this place today.

And we give you honor today. We give you praise in Jesus' mighty name.

Clap your hands unto the Lord.

Music.

Praise his mighty name, for he is worthy.

Come on, he's worthy of your praise. Don't let a rock cry out in your place.

Amen. Go ahead and magnify him. He alone is worthy, inhabits the praise of his people.

Praise the Lord. You may be seated in the house of the Lord,

who's going to help me preach today.

Amen. How many is familiar with this story? The queen of Sheba.

Now, she was not in poverty by any stretch of the imagination.

She had wealth. She had riches. She had all of this. Amen.

But I believe that she wanted to know about what Solomon had and if it was real, what she heard.

If the thing, amen, about Solomon was true or not, amen. Man,

this woman didn't come just a short distance.

She didn't just go right to the next town or right to the next county.

Hey man, I heard that it was estimated that it took a year and a half for her

to journey to where Solomon was.

She did not have a nice sports car or the finest aircraft to get her to where Solomon was.

She was on camel. She was with a company, a caravan going through the desert.

Anybody ever been in the desert?

I have, and I don't like it. I was there just a few weeks ago, brother.

Young, I was going through Salt Lake City, and after I passed Salt Lake City,

there was a desert, and I didn't know what to expect.

I just wanted to see some different scenery instead of going my normal route that I go.

And I wish to God I hadn't. I went that way because it was just desert everywhere

you look, and I was just thinking in my mind, God, am I ever going to get out of here?

I just want to get to where I want to get to. I want to get to somewhere where

there's people, somewhere where there's civilization. Amen.

And today, some of us are going through a desert.

Some of us are going through times and hard things in our lives.

And I believe if you just have the determination and the willpower to press

on, that you're going to get where you need to get to.

You're going to reach where you need to get to. Amen.

But this woman was traveling from a far country. She came, amen,

she had heard back in her land of the fame of Solomon, amen.

The Bible talks about Solomon being the wisest that was ever on earth.

There would never be a wiser before him or after him, amen, amen, and he had that going on.

He had plenty of things going on, amen, from the temple to his house and to

so many things you can read about in the scripture of what he had.

He just had it all going on, amen.

And when she found out, she saw this, she said, the half was not told me, amen.

You know, some people can only testify to you in part so much,

but there comes a time and a place where you've got to find out for yourself.

You've got to come to the altar. You've got to come to the realization,

amen, that this God that the preacher preaches about and the singers sing about,

amen, that he really is good.

That he really is amazing, that he really, amen, that he loves me so much,

amen. He doesn't want me to be lacking or empty, amen.

He wants me to have him, have his anointing, have his blessing,

have his touch in my life, amen.

The queen journeys to the king, amen. The queen journeys to the king.

We need to journey to the king today, amen.

If you've been in this 50 years, 60 years, praise the Lord for that,

but we need to keep coming back to the Lord.

We need to keep coming, approaching Him daily, day after day. Amen.

We need to find ourselves approaching Him. And the more we do that, the stronger we become.

Amen. The more fearful we are to the enemy, the more close we get to God. Amen.

We become stronger in God. The more we give ourselves to God,

God will reveal himself to us.

Music.

The book of Acts came, amen, when the children of Israel or the people of God

came to the upper room, amen, 120, they came expecting from God that God would

fill them with his spirit, amen.

They were expecting something great, amen. They came to hear,

amen, and they received from God in the upper room, amen. I want to know,

does Pentecost still thrill you?

Does it still, amen? does it still give you joy? Amen.

God don't want us to be complacent or content.

He wants us to hunger for more. He wants us to thirst for more.

He wants us to desire more. Amen.

Amen. I tell you, it gets better and sweeter as the day goes by. Praise the Lord.

This journey we're on with God, amen, it never gets bad. It never gets less.

Amen. It just gets better and better. and stronger and more powerful.

Praise God for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Music.

I was 14 years old when I received the Holy Ghost.

I went down to Louisiana to a meeting, amen, and I was on the last night of

the meeting. I said, I'm not going home until I get the Holy Ghost, amen.

And I remember that night, amen, like it was yesterday as I lifted my hands

to God and I began to pray.

And I said, God, I pray that you would fill.

Music.

It'll keep you, amen, that it'll never run out, that it'll never run dry, amen.

It'll keep you day after day after day after day.

Praise God. If anybody has a Holy Ghost, just praise the Lord right now.

Music.

Thank Him for His Spirit, that He gave you His Spirit today.

And there are some in here today that need the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

And we believe right now, amen, that God will pour out his spirit upon your

flesh, upon your children, upon your daughters, upon your sons.

Amen. God wants to do exactly that. Amen.

Amen. This is an experience of a lifetime.

Amen. You've heard of vacation packages. It's an experience of a lifetime,

a cruise for two, six-day cruise. Amen.

Amen. I want to tell you something that tops that, it tops that,

it goes beyond that, amen.

This experience that Sheba, this Queen of Sheba had, amen, it exceeded everything

else that she had ever experienced before, amen.

I heard at one time, I'm not sure if this is completely true, but I heard.

Music.

But few are chosen. You know who the chosen are? They're the ones that listen.

They're the ones that say, you know, I'm going to take God at his word.

If it was good enough for Paul and Silas, it's good enough for me.

I'm going to take God at his word.

Amen. And then I'm going to go tell my family. I'm going to go tell a loved one.

I'm going to show them that there's more to this life than what I've heard.

There's more to this life than what I see.

Amen. God, give us ears to hear what the Spirit is saying in this hour.

Give us eyes to see, Lord.

Let the scales be removed from our eyes, Lord, so that we may truly see your

goodness and your greatness today. Amen.

She communed with Solomon, and Solomon told her everything.

She came there with questions, and she was in doubt.

No doubt she was in doubt, and she had questions, but Solomon answered every question that she had.

Amen. It's amazing how every, I thought this about the Bible before,

everything that you're going through, the Bible has the answer for it.

Everything that you're dealing with, God has the answer that you can read it

right there. You want to know the will of God for your life?

Get a copy of the Bible. Amen. Get a copy of the word of God.

Amen. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that cometh out of the mouth of God.

Amen. And when the word of God goes forth, I wanna be a receiver.

I wanna receive what the preacher is preaching at conference.

I wanna receive what the preacher's preaching at my home church.

I wanna receive what he's got to say because I believe he is in tune with God.

Amen. I wanna have ears to hear in this hour that we're in when there are so

many voices that are shouting.

Music.

God shows himself mightily. Amen. She was at a loss of words. Amen.

Of what she had just experienced. It exceeded everything that she had predetermined in her mind.

Have you ever predetermined something, how it would all pan out in your mind

just to find out that when you actually got there, it was better than you thought?

I have. Sometimes my wife will tell you, I build things up in my mind.

Amen. And I get intimidated sometimes, but I find out after a while that it's

not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Amen. It was actually better than what I figured in my own mind, how it was going to be.

I like how the scripture talks about in Proverbs, it talks about your thoughts. Amen.

You have many thoughts and you need to just have thoughts. Amen.

How's that verse go. I wish my wife was in here. She's like the Proverbs queen. Amen.

Amen. I wish I'd brought my Bible today. Trust in the Lord. Follow thine heart

and lean not into that own understanding. That's it.

My own understanding gets me in trouble sometimes. Amen.

I can limit God. I can put a tape measure on God.

Say God's only able to do so much. He can't help me with this.

Amen. He can do anything. Amen. He's still a baptizer. He's still a Holy Ghost baptizer.

He still cleanses you. He still washes you white as snow.

He still casts all your trash and your past away.

Amen. Into the sea of forgetfulness and it's covered by the blood. Amen.

I know a God today. I know a God today. I know his name today. His name is Jesus.

Amen. And he has the words of life. Peter said, amen, Peter told the Lord after

the Lord saw that some would left him and deserted him. He said, where can we go? Amen.

Where can we go, Brother Young? Amen. After we've heard this preaching,

after we've heard of this salvation.

Music.

I know one thing about Pentecost, it's not watered down, amen.

It's still just as true today as it was when it was preached on the day of Pentecost.

It's still just as real today, amen. And I heard a preacher say the other day,

of course, he wasn't in truth, amen. He said that all of that stuff,

and he died just a few days ago.

I can't remember his name, Jeremiah or something, amen.

You probably know who I'm talking about. But he did not emphasize the importance

of receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He said it was just for the apostles.

Music.

Back 2,000 years. Oh, I wish he'd have came and told me that before I got the Holy Ghost.

Amen. Because I found out different that God filled me with the Holy Ghost.

And God's filled many people in here today with the greatest gift that you could ever receive.

Better than any present that you could ever receive in this world is the gift

of the Holy Ghost. introduced.

Come on, if you got the Holy Ghost, clap your hands unto the Lord.

Thank you, Jesus, for your spirit, Lord. Thank you, Lord, that I got overcoming

power, Lord, that I got power over my adversary, that I am the head and I'm not the tail.

I'm a chosen person because you love me. It's because of his love today. Amen.

And what compelled this woman, I'm not sure how old she was.

Somebody said that Solomon married her.

I don't believe that. I mean, he definitely had many wives and many other things,

but he did not marry her. I don't believe that.

She didn't come there wanting to be married. She came there to find out, is this true?

Amen. About what Solomon has, the temple and all of these things that were mentioned,

the house he built and the meat of his table, the servants, the attendants. It was amazing.

I kind of believe, I kind of picture heaven being the same way. Amen.

Let me tell you today that there's somebody greater in this room than Solomon.

There's somebody greater in the house. Somebody say he's in the house.

Amen. And where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. I can feel him today.

If I come into the house of the Lord expecting today, I can receive from God.

But there is a principality that is at work. Amen.

In this world that sometimes he thinks and he does, he comes to the house of

the Lord to try to intercept what is being spoken from the pulpit.

Amen. Because he knows if you get a hold of this, it'll change your life.

It could possibly change your family and so on and so forth.

He is afraid of you today.

I believe the best is yet to come for every individual that is a believer in Jesus Christ.

I believe that there are good things in store. I believe that we're going to

go beyond this. We're going to have revival.

Amen. We're going to have revival in our homes. We're going to have revival

in our own heart. Amen. We need to have a revival in our own heart. How about that?

Amen. We need to have the revelation of God and his word. Amen.

I want to know you, Lord. I want to seek you, Lord. I want to find you,

Lord, because I've heard, Lord, that it exceeds all of what I predetermined before, Lord.

It went beyond measure. It went beyond limits. It went beyond degree, Lord.

Amen. what so-and-so had, what they experienced in God, I can have for myself.

It's not just for my grandparents or my parents.

Music.

This woman was ready to receive something, a revelation. I know the Holy Ghost

had not been outpoured yet there.

Amen. But you've got to commend this woman for traveling so far to find out

if what she heard was actually truth.

Amen. There's only one truth.

Everything else is false and fabricated. Amen. You've got to have truth.

And that means there's only one church. That means there's not all roads lead

to heaven or all roads lead to Rome.

Only one road leads to heaven. Amen. You don't serve a God who's talking out

of both ends of his mouth. Amen.

He said it very plain. You must be born again of the water and of the spirit.

Amen. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were with one accord in one place.

Music.

And the Bible says, and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing

mighty wind, and it filled the house where they were sitting.

Praise God. Hallelujah. I want to see a Pentecostal experience,

amen, like I've never seen before.

Amen. And I want to see it take off here in Indianapolis and let it reverberate

throughout this country because this world needs Jesus Christ.

This world needs to find out, amen.

There's more to Christianity than just going to church.

There's more to Christianity than just being a member of this body or whatever.

Amen. I want to know him exactly as his word declares him. I want to see him face to face.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Amen. I can't tell you enough.

Music.

Through 11 says that Solomon asked for a discerning and understanding heart.

He did not ask for riches or long life. He didn't ask for all those things,

even though they were given to him, but he wanted understanding.

Understanding. I think that's important that we ask God for understanding of

what we're reading when we open that Bible up.

Amen. Many times I've read the Bible. I've read different passages of scripture

and I didn't understand what it meant.

Then I went to prayer and asked god to reveal himself to

me through his word and open my understanding to

what he is saying and then he did and he

showed me he pulled away the veil and he showed me amen that

that i must be born again that i must amen live

a separate and holy life that i must come out

from the world and be separate that

i must amen you must be separate and

i'm not trying be a judgmental person by any stretch of

the imagination i talked to a man the other day

and he he believes he's got good morals he's got good ethics

but but he still does a few things he shouldn't he said if i die today i know

where i'm going amen when you get the holy ghost god will change amen the words

that come out of your mouth he will change your intentions and desires He'll change all of that.

And there is no sin going to enter into heaven.

God wants us to be washed white as snow. Cleanse me, Lord. I love what the scripture says.

It says His mercy endureth forever.

Long after I'm gone, long after you're gone, His mercy's still there. But during.

Music.

Turn your mind over to Him, when you turn your heart over to Him,

and you say, here I am, Lord.

I'm ready to listen, God. I'm ready to hear what your Spirit is saying to me, God.

I want to receive all of you that I can receive.

Music.

Amen. How many wants to receive more of Jesus today? How many wants to receive more?

Amen. You cannot improve on God, but you can improve in God.

Let me say that again, kind of came out weird. You can't improve on God.

It don't get better than God, but you can improve in God.

You can improve in your experience and your walk with God.

Amen. You should find yourself going higher and higher and higher and higher in God.

Amen. A while back, Sister Angela down at my dad's church, she said she dreamed

a dream that She saw me going higher and going up steps, and that was encouraging to me.

Amen. I want every one of us to experience that, where we're going higher and

higher and higher in God.

Amen. And understanding God even more and taking God at His word.

Music.

And God in the process will bring His power on us, and He will make us bold

and courageous and strong.

Amen. To face whatever comes our way.

Amen. But you've got to have the power of God, young person,

elderly person, middle-aged person, whoever you are today.

You've got to have the power of God operating in your life.

I want the power of God operating in my life.

Amen. Those Pentecostal people, they're crazy. That's what the world says.

They're wild. They're fanatics. They're beside themselves. Yes.

Amen. Because we lost their mind and we gained the mind of Christ. Amen.

The Bible declares us to be a peculiar and just kind of odd,

you know, peculiar, kind of strange, amen.

It's because, amen, this sweet Holy Ghost, we don't know how to act.

We don't know how to respond sometimes when it hits us, when it's on us,

amen. We just yield to the Spirit, amen.

And when you're in the Spirit, you don't know how long you're going to be in

the Spirit. You don't know how long you're going to actually be there when you're

praying. I've seen it before.

I'd be in the altar at my dad's church, and I prayed for life.

I had a mindset that I was going to get down and pray for 30 minutes and it was.

Music.

Or quench their thirst. But when you come to Jesus, He will quench your thirst.

He will satisfy your thirst. He will give you a feeling, a feeling that takes.

Music.

Away the void in your life, where you will feel alive and love more abundantly.

Hallelujah, somebody shout, amen. I want more of Jesus.

I wanna know Him. I wanna experience Him at any cost. I wanna have Pentecost

in my family. I want to have Pentecost at any cost.

Pentecost actually began as an experience. It's an experience of a lifetime

that I cannot, I can only tell you in so many words. I don't have big words

to tell you, amen, because I don't know big words.

I'm just, I'm just a little boy from Tennessee, I guess. Amen.

Amen. I didn't do too great in school growing up. Amen. Amen.

But I, But I found Jesus, amen.

I found that what I found in Jesus was all that mattered to begin with, amen.

It was the reason that I was put here on this earth to begin with was to live a life for Jesus.

And yes, I've had some hiccups and yes, I messed up and so have all of us,

but thank God for the mercy of God.

Thank God that we can get.

Music.

Your heart. God will show himself mightily in your life.

Every mile that she traveled, she could have got tired and weary and wore out

and said, you know what? I'm going back.

This is too far. But something pushed her.

Amen. Something pushed you and I to the altar.

Something pushed you and I to come to church today. Not just because Brother

Young might get on you and say, shame on you.

Or you maybe not have, I remember a day when we have little,

what do you call them? Perfect attendance.

They gave out little stars.

That was way back in the good old days, back in the 90s and early 2000s.

People say good old days.

What are we living in now, the bad old days.

I believe it's still good. It's just your mindset. Amen.

But I believe we need to have attendance. We need to give ourselves more to

God and have perfect attendance in our heart.

And when we're listening and we're reading the word of God, we need to have

perfect attendance there, have our mind completely involved in God's word for

God can speak to each and every one of us.

Music.

You don't have to be a prophet or an apostle for God to speak to you.

God can speak to anybody. He spoke to a donkey. He can speak to you.

How many remembers that? The man on the donkey had less sense than the donkey.

Don't you see that angel up there? Amen. I want to be sensitive to the spirit.

I want to know what's around me. Solomon was asking for discernment.

I want to know When I go somewhere, I want to know what's around me.

I want to know if I'm in the right place or not.

And I want the Spirit to say to me, get out of there if I need to get out of

there, stay if I need to stay.

That's the kind of discernment. I want that kind of discernment and understanding to come to me.

Amen. I want to know Him. I want to hear Him. I want to be sensitive to Him.

I want Him to speak to me. And the more you give yourself to God and open your

heart to God, God will reveal Himself and speak to you.

Amen. Amen. Anybody love the Lord today? Amen.

Did you come today looking for something? Did you come today searching for something?

You don't have to leave here dissatisfied.

Can you imagine the 120 if they got in the upper room and the Lord told them

to tarry there and nothing happened, how disappointed they'd be?

But something's going to happen when you come expecting.

Amen. God will fill that house. Amen.

Amen. to fill your family. Amen. No matter how far away they are from God,

God is able to reach them.

No matter how far they have slid away from God, God is able to help them slide back into home base.

Amen. Bring them home, Lord. Amen. Refill them, Lord.

Touch them again, Lord. We're asking it today. Amen.

For your spirit, Lord, to have its way, God.

Amen. I got a few more notes here. I don't know if I can carry or cover them all. Amen.

But what she said is that wisdom and fame exceeded the fame I had heard. It's not just a story.

It's better than told. It was better than advertised. Amen.

That church on the billboard amen i can all

i can view that maybe driving down the road but if i actually

go and it says pentecost and an experience amen

i can just read about it but i gotta go i

gotta find out for myself i i gotta pull into that

parking lot and put it in the park and and get out of

the car and come into the house and find out that what that

church better be preaching about penny calls because if

it's not it's false that hurts brother

carver it's true amen if

ain't preaching the word of god you need to run out of there you need

to get out of there i want to hear what the word of god says and

the word of god says that you and i can have his spirit that we can that we

can be born again that we can live a separated and holy life and we can look

different and we can act different and we can be different that's that's what

i'm after amen why do you want to be like everybody else when you can be like God.

John 4, 29, come and see a man which told me all things that ever I did.

Now this is Samaritan woman speaking.

Music.

Body do you like him. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. How many has experienced God?

How many is about to experience him? How many is about to experience more of

him? Don't put a tape measure on God.

Music.

Don't put a limit on God for we serve an unlimited God, but he's only limited.

And if I limit him, he will only be limited if I limit him, but he's unlimited.

Man, Bible says I'm about done here.

David was out there looking out into the expanse of space and the stars and everything at night.

And he started thinking about the sun and the moon and the stars.

And I love what he says. He says, what is man out of all of this creation,

planets and everything and all time and space, every bit of the oceans and animals

and mountains and all of that. Amen.

What is man that thou art mindful of him.

Is that amazing to you? Do you ever feel small? I feel small compared to this

great universe, 93 million miles away to the sun from earth. Amen.

And still yet God sees me right here on this earth.

And he sees you today and he wants to put his spirit inside of your temple for

you are not your own. You're bought with a price.

Amen. Glorify God in your bodies today and lift his name.

Say, thank you, Jesus, for the Holy Ghost. Why don't you say,

thank you, Jesus, in advance?

If you don't have the Holy Ghost today, just say, thank you,

Jesus, in advance, for I'm going to get the Holy Ghost because I have faith

and I have expectancy that God is going to fill me with the Holy Ghost.

Music.

A church that is hot and on fire for him. Amen.

God bless you in Jesus name. If anybody would like to come to this altar today,

amen, as the musicians come ahead at this time and begin to sing and play for us, praise the Lord.

I don't know about you, amen, but I feel mighty good today in the Holy Ghost.

Last time I was here on a Sunday morning, I preached about pour, remember that?

He gonna pour out his spirit out on all flesh.

It's not just a little drip or a little trinkle, amen. God's going to open the

floodgates of heaven and pour out his spirit.

Like I said last night in Bangladesh and Bolivia, 17,000 people were filled

with the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

God is working, but God has to have a receiver first.

He has to have an open heart, amen, that is ready to receive from God.

God ain't never going to force anything on you.

Hello? God ain't never going to force it on you, amen. You got to have an open heart, amen.

And when you do, God will pour out his spirit upon your filthy,

rotten, dirty flesh. But that's all it is.

Our righteousness, what's the Bible say about our righteousness?

Filthy rags, amen. I need his righteousness.

How many is sick and tired of your ways? You need the ways of God to be formed inside of you.

You need the ways of God to be established in you and that your ways and your flesh would die.

That's what God wills. That's what God wants.

Regardless of what the devil's told you, that's what God wants in your life

is for your flesh to die and so the spirit of God can live inside of you.

Take over, God. Consume me, Lord.

Be who your word says you can be. I want to know you. God bless you in Jesus' name.

Anyone would like to come to this altar, amen. These altars are open today. Praise the Lord.
