Father said, shake hands with the neighborhood, say neighbor the

It ain't over yet, and I ain't finish it.
-
I know it looks like you.
-
It's all for It.
-
Looks like you.

It's Finnish, but you ain't looked at the pad over.
-
I come to tell you that the head is getting
-
more ready to advance.
-
God's getting more ready to sew you. If God before you,
-
I'm more then the whole world can have.
-
A beers love.
-
So lay anything to the charge of God to lesson.
-
I'm persuaded that me adap, not life, no print of pality,
-
no angels, nor tap, not any other creature shall be
-
able to separate us from the love of God.
-
Lame lame, lame, and all these things. We're more than.
-
A conqueror.
-
To him that love.
-
Take your seat.
-
But as you take your seat, sir, I'm victorious.
-
As you take your seat, said I'm a winner.
-
I'm not a quitter.
-
Come on, say I'm a winner, not a loser. I
-
don't have to worry about what I see. For Habacco
-
declared that the just must live.
-
By his faith. I'm not moved by anything the enemy
-
is doing.
-
But I'm gonna put on the whole armor of God.
-
That I may be able to withstand.
-
I'm not gonna fail.
-
Have they all done all the stay.
-
I'm gonna stand any happen. I may be crying, but
-
I'm gonna stand.
-
May have to be propped up, but I'm a winner,
-
maybe laughed at and scorned, but just about to give
-
you the last last.
-
Let me let me give you, let me give you
-
my subject, and then I'm finished.
-
I promise.
-
I'm finishing.
-
Look at a neighbor, say, neighbor, repeat our subject.
-
Look at the neighbor, say, neighbor, be careful.
-
What you ask for.
-
I would, if I would harmoneutically etymologically go down the scripture.
-
If I would be perverse as preach every preacher should
-
be hormilytically sound, I would tell you that the Lord
-
finds us.
-
In First Samuel, chapter eight.
-
Samuel's name means and I promise you five minutes. Samuel's
-
name means for Samuel has been sent down because Israel
-
has asked gone for a king. It wasn't that they
-
needed a king. It was the fact that they were
-
trying to keep up with the Joneses. They were not
-
satisfied in their disposition, so they ask God to give
-
them a king. The Lord's recitation to Israel is you
-
don't need a king. I want to be your king
-
of kings and your Lord of lords. Samuel becomes disgusted
-
in chapter eight because Samuel takes the Fusuel keeps asking
-
for something that they really don't need personal because he
-
feels like it's a rejection to him. God corrects him
-
in that third or fourth verse and say, Samuel, don't
-
don't don't don't take it personal. Tell the person said
-
don't take it personal. God says to Samuel. They have
-
not rejected you, They've rejected me. God says, don't take
-
it personal. But they have made a determination that they
-
know what is best for them. Even when they declare
-
that I'm the King of kings and Lord of lords,
-
Samuel says to them. He says God, but I don't
-
understand it. God says to Samuel, you don't have to
-
understand it. You just got to believe it. You just
-
got to know. Sometimes people will ask for things not
-
knowing what they really need. You ask or a house
-
when you should have asked for a home. You ask
-
for a car when you should have asked for a
-
mode of transportation. It's for money when you should have
-
asked that. God gives you wisdom. You ask God to
-
put you on a budget when God says, your problem
-
is not a supply problem. Your problem is a management problem.
-
Israel gets in trouble with God. I got three minutes left.
-
Israel gets in trouble with God. Samuel comes down to
-
Israel and he rebukes Israel. But like most of us,
-
when God is rebuking us, we think we know best.
-
So God has to allow us to get out of
-
his direct will. And they don't like when you preach
-
about this, Mama into his promissive will. Sometimes God will
-
give you what he did not design for you. But
-
you've got to understand. God is saying, if I give
-
it to you, you've got to take everything that comes
-
with it.
-
You ask for.
-
The crazy girl now you got to take everything that
-
comes with her. You ask for tall, dark and handsome,
-
but you didn't recognize this particular tall dark, and hence
-
comes with the little craziness if things are not always
-
how they look.
-
I got two minutes. So God now.
-
Changes, and when he changes, God now repositions Israel because
-
the next twenty to forty years are going to be
-
times of reaping where they made the wrong decision. Look
-
at a neighbor and ask tell them, say, neighbor, be
-
careful what you ask for, because sometimes what you have
-
asked for comes.
-
With residual changes.
-
You have to deal with what comes with what you
-
have asked.
-
That ain't who I want you to have, But God,
-
that's who I want. I want Junebug. That ain't who
-
I want, But God, that's who I want. I want Alex,
-
I hope ain't nobody here named Alex. God. That ain't
-
what I want. God, That's who I want. I want Samantha.
-
God says, Okay, it's not in my wheel, but I'm
-
going to change my mind and I'm going to allow you.
-
To receive what you've ask for.
-
Israel then goes and the rest of the text, and
-
I'm totally finished.
-
God deals with Israel. He says to Israel, Okay, okay.
-
If I give you Saul, Saul's name means ask for.
-
If I give you what you.
-
Ask for, he gonna rape your women, he gonna take
-
your children, he gonna put you in slavery.
-
He's gonna enslave you.
-
The determination from your choice is going to ruin the
-
rest of your life. I've come to say to somebody,
-
Israel is still fighting.
-
You'll get that later on. You ain't gonna get it
-
right now. Israel is still in turmoil.
-
I've come to submit to somebody, Israel is at unrest
-
today because a decision has been made.
-
But look at God, and I end with this.
-
God is so much God.
-
That even in the midst of calamity, I think they said,
-
you said, he keeps on blessing me. God is so
-
much God that even if the famine comes, and even
-
if the food gets scariest, and even if the money
-
gets you strange, and even if things go crazy, the
-
children can go to children's church.
-
I think that's what they're doing, even if.
-
Things get top Servey, they that trust in the Lord
-
shall not want for any good thing. How dare you
-
get insulted when Matthew decrees and declares that if God
-
can take care of the sparrows, surely he can take
-
care of you. I need you lastly, because I'm going
-
my last minute to look at a neighbor and say, neighbor,
-
I ain't worried all y'all looking at me, real funny.
-
I need you to look at somebody. I'm not gonna
-
holler anymore. I need you to look at the neighbors.
-
I ain't worried about what gonna come tomorrow. Tell them
-
I just live from day to day. I don't borrow
-
it from tomorrow, sunshine.
-
I know that God is going.
-
To take good care.
-
Of me.
-
So I've seen this before.
-
But could it be that things are not what they
-
look like? Lastly, and I may holler when I say this,
-
and I'm not talking about tune up. I'm talking about
-
I made your scream. After I say this, look at
-
somebody beside and tell them. God has already promised he
-
gonna take good care of us.
-
So tell him.
-
Look for the race, look for the bonus, look for
-
the car, look for the house, for the yak.
-
Shall be this joy because of his annointed Or tell somebody,
-
I'm just like David.
-
Then don't get the car, Ema, don't get the house.
-
Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your spearing.
-
I'm miss I'm finished.
-
Don't take your spirit away from me.
-
Without it, I die.
-
Last time, say neighbor, Gods's about to breathe new life
-
in your present situation, and tell your neighbor is enough
-
life to sustain you for the rest.
-
Of your days.
-
Tell them you won't have to worry what you shall eat,
-
what you shall drink, where you shall live. Tell them,
-
in the midst of everything else that's happening, you serve
-
a God who ain't control the earth. Is the lords
-
the fullness their uncle.
-
God is our refuge, hasn't help, and the time of
-
trouble carefo our Bless the Lord.
-
I bless them at all times, and his pray.
-
Shall continue. Land be in my.
-
Alouse. I'm not gonna worry what the enemy does.
-
The God that I.
-
Serve is able to do exceeding abundant above all we
-
can pass or anything.
-
Last time,
