  98. May have to be propped up, but I'm a winner,

  99. maybe laughed at and scorned, but just about to give

  100. you the last last.

  101. Let me let me give you, let me give you

  102. my subject, and then I'm finished.

  103. I promise.

  104. I'm finishing.

  105. Look at a neighbor, say, neighbor, repeat our subject.

  106. Look at the neighbor, say, neighbor, be careful.

  107. What you ask for.

  108. I would, if I would harmoneutically etymologically go down the scripture.

  109. If I would be perverse as preach every preacher should

  110. be hormilytically sound, I would tell you that the Lord

  111. finds us.

  112. In First Samuel, chapter eight.

  113. Samuel's name means and I promise you five minutes. Samuel's

  114. name means for Samuel has been sent down because Israel

  115. has asked gone for a king. It wasn't that they

  116. needed a king. It was the fact that they were

  117. trying to keep up with the Joneses. They were not

  118. satisfied in their disposition, so they ask God to give

  119. them a king. The Lord's recitation to Israel is you

  120. don't need a king. I want to be your king

  121. of kings and your Lord of lords. Samuel becomes disgusted

  122. in chapter eight because Samuel takes the Fusuel keeps asking

  123. for something that they really don't need personal because he

  124. feels like it's a rejection to him. God corrects him

  125. in that third or fourth verse and say, Samuel, don't

  126. don't don't don't take it personal. Tell the person said

  127. don't take it personal. God says to Samuel. They have

  128. not rejected you, They've rejected me. God says, don't take

  129. it personal. But they have made a determination that they

  130. know what is best for them. Even when they declare

  131. that I'm the King of kings and Lord of lords,

  132. Samuel says to them. He says God, but I don't

  133. understand it. God says to Samuel, you don't have to

  134. understand it. You just got to believe it. You just

  135. got to know. Sometimes people will ask for things not

  136. knowing what they really need. You ask or a house

  137. when you should have asked for a home. You ask

  138. for a car when you should have asked for a

  139. mode of transportation. It's for money when you should have

  140. asked that. God gives you wisdom. You ask God to

  141. put you on a budget when God says, your problem

  142. is not a supply problem. Your problem is a management problem.

  143. Israel gets in trouble with God. I got three minutes left.

  144. Israel gets in trouble with God. Samuel comes down to

  145. Israel and he rebukes Israel. But like most of us,

  146. when God is rebuking us, we think we know best.

  147. So God has to allow us to get out of

  148. his direct will. And they don't like when you preach

  149. about this, Mama into his promissive will. Sometimes God will

  150. give you what he did not design for you. But

  151. you've got to understand. God is saying, if I give

  152. it to you, you've got to take everything that comes

  153. with it.

  154. You ask for.

  155. The crazy girl now you got to take everything that

  156. comes with her. You ask for tall, dark and handsome,

  157. but you didn't recognize this particular tall dark, and hence

  158. comes with the little craziness if things are not always

  159. how they look.

  160. I got two minutes. So God now.

  161. Changes, and when he changes, God now repositions Israel because

  162. the next twenty to forty years are going to be

  163. times of reaping where they made the wrong decision. Look

  164. at a neighbor and ask tell them, say, neighbor, be

  165. careful what you ask for, because sometimes what you have

  166. asked for comes.

  167. With residual changes.

  168. You have to deal with what comes with what you

  169. have asked.

  170. That ain't who I want you to have, But God,

  171. that's who I want. I want Junebug. That ain't who

  172. I want, But God, that's who I want. I want Alex,

  173. I hope ain't nobody here named Alex. God. That ain't

  174. what I want. God, That's who I want. I want Samantha.

  175. God says, Okay, it's not in my wheel, but I'm

  176. going to change my mind and I'm going to allow you.

  177. To receive what you've ask for.

  178. Israel then goes and the rest of the text, and

  179. I'm totally finished.

  180. God deals with Israel. He says to Israel, Okay, okay.

  181. If I give you Saul, Saul's name means ask for.

  182. If I give you what you.

  183. Ask for, he gonna rape your women, he gonna take

  184. your children, he gonna put you in slavery.

  185. He's gonna enslave you.

  186. The determination from your choice is going to ruin the

  187. rest of your life. I've come to say to somebody,

  188. Israel is still fighting.

  189. You'll get that later on. You ain't gonna get it

  190. right now. Israel is still in turmoil.

  191. I've come to submit to somebody, Israel is at unrest

  192. today because a decision has been made.

  193. But look at God, and I end with this.

  194. God is so much God.

  195. That even in the midst of calamity, I think they said,

  196. you said, he keeps on blessing me. God is so

  197. much God that even if the famine comes, and even

  198. if the food gets scariest, and even if the money

  199. gets you strange, and even if things go crazy, the

  200. children can go to children's church.

  201. I think that's what they're doing, even if.

  202. Things get top Servey, they that trust in the Lord

  203. shall not want for any good thing. How dare you

  204. get insulted when Matthew decrees and declares that if God

  205. can take care of the sparrows, surely he can take

  206. care of you. I need you lastly, because I'm going

  207. my last minute to look at a neighbor and say, neighbor,

  208. I ain't worried all y'all looking at me, real funny.

  209. I need you to look at somebody. I'm not gonna

  210. holler anymore. I need you to look at the neighbors.

  211. I ain't worried about what gonna come tomorrow. Tell them

  212. I just live from day to day. I don't borrow

  213. it from tomorrow, sunshine.

  214. I know that God is going.

  215. To take good care.

  216. Of me.

  217. So I've seen this before.

  218. But could it be that things are not what they

  219. look like? Lastly, and I may holler when I say this,

  220. and I'm not talking about tune up. I'm talking about

  221. I made your scream. After I say this, look at

  222. somebody beside and tell them. God has already promised he

  223. gonna take good care of us.

  224. So tell him.

  225. Look for the race, look for the bonus, look for

  226. the car, look for the house, for the yak.

  227. Shall be this joy because of his annointed Or tell somebody,

  228. I'm just like David.

  229. Then don't get the car, Ema, don't get the house.

  230. Whatever you do, Lord, don't take your spearing.

  231. I'm miss I'm finished.

  232. Don't take your spirit away from me.

  233. Without it, I die.

  234. Last time, say neighbor, Gods's about to breathe new life

  235. in your present situation, and tell your neighbor is enough

  236. life to sustain you for the rest.

  237. Of your days.

  238. Tell them you won't have to worry what you shall eat,

  239. what you shall drink, where you shall live. Tell them,

  240. in the midst of everything else that's happening, you serve

  241. a God who ain't control the earth. Is the lords

  242. the fullness their uncle.

  243. God is our refuge, hasn't help, and the time of

  244. trouble carefo our Bless the Lord.

  245. I bless them at all times, and his pray.

  246. Shall continue. Land be in my.

  247. Alouse. I'm not gonna worry what the enemy does.
