• 0:09
  >> it is the final authority.
• 0:10
  >> The final authority
• 0:11
  >> to which I submit
• 0:13
  >> to settle all the issues
• 0:15
  >> settle all the
• 0:16
  >> of my life.
• 0:17
  >> It is the standard
• 0:19
  >> of my conduct.
• 0:20
  >> And the basis
• 0:22
  >> the basis
• 0:22
  >> of all my expectations.
• 0:24
  >> Shout it out. I am.
• 0:26
  >> I am.
• 0:26
  >> Y'all come on. You got to get happy. You
• 0:27
  got to shake yourself. Shout it out. I
• 0:30
  am
• 0:30
  >> I am
• 0:30
  >> what it says I am.
• 0:32
  >> It says I am
• 0:33
  >> I possess
• 0:34
  >> what it says I possess.
• 0:35
  >> It says I pos.
• 0:36
  >> And I can do
• 0:37
  >> I can do
• 0:38
  >> absolutely everything.
• 0:39
  >> Absolutely everything.
• 0:40
  >> It says I can do
• 0:41
  >> it says.
• 0:42
  >> Turn and tell your neighbor. I know
• 0:44
  that's right.
• 0:44
  >> I know that's right.
• 0:45
  >> Thank God for my prophet too. Prophet
• 0:47
  nature. All right. Read, babe.
• 0:51
  >> And the children of Israel again did
• 0:53
  evil in the sight of the Lord when Hu
• 0:56
  was
• 0:56
  >> Ehood or whatever. Ehood. I'mma call him
• 0:59
  when Big E died. Go ahead.
• 1:02
  >> And she sent and called Barack the son
• 1:04
  of
• 1:04
  >> It goes in and starts talking about how
• 1:06
  because they switched up when uh E died,
• 1:10
  when that when all of that happened, the
• 1:12
  Lord allowed their enemy to come in and
• 1:15
  basically chastise them and oppress
• 1:17
  them.
• 1:18
  >> Okay, I didn't get no amens on that, but
• 1:21
  it is. So you cut a fool,
• 1:23
  >> right?
• 1:24
  >> God wants us to be developed. So
• 1:27
  sometime he has to let our choices lead
• 1:29
  us into pressure.
• 1:32
  >> So pressure can press us back where we
• 1:35
  should have stayed.
• 1:36
  >> Thank you for coming. May the Lord
• 1:38
  watch. All right. So Deborah is now the
• 1:41
  judge that is ruling at this time. And
• 1:45
  so God speaks to her and gives her a
• 1:47
  word. Go to verse six now. And she sent
• 1:50
  and called Barack the son of Abanom out
• 1:53
  of
• 1:53
  >> Kad Kadesh
• 1:54
  >> Napali
• 1:56
  and said unto him,
• 1:58
  >> she says, let's stay with what's
• 2:00
  important here. Let's go. Come on.
• 2:02
  >> Hath not the Lord God of Israel
• 2:04
  commanded, saying, Go and draw toward a
• 2:07
  Mount Tabar,
• 2:08
  >> and take with thee 10,000 men of the
• 2:11
  children of Napali.
• 2:12
  >> Uhhuh.
• 2:12
  >> Napali. Go ahead.
• 2:14
  >> Of the children of Zebulun.
• 2:16
  and I will draw unto thee to the river
• 2:19
  Kashan
• 2:20
  >> Cis
• 2:20
  >> Cisora
• 2:21
  >> says he's the captain of Jabin's army.
• 2:24
  She said, I'll do what I need to do to
• 2:25
  get him to come out, but then you need
• 2:27
  to handle him, you and the 10,000. He's
• 2:30
  got all his chariots. I'm going to bring
• 2:31
  them all out and I'll deliver him into a
• 2:33
  position where you can take him. Come
• 2:36
  on.
• 2:36
  >> And Barack said unto her, "If thou wilt
• 2:39
  go with me,
• 2:39
  >> if you go, then I will go." Come on. But
• 2:43
  if thou wilt not go with me, then I will
• 2:46
  not go.
• 2:47
  >> I don't like that verse.
• 2:49
  >> And that's what we're going to talk
• 2:50
  about today. I want to share with you in
• 2:53
  this concluding pastoral message, you
• 2:56
  have all you need to go forth.
• 3:00
  >> And I'm not much for talking to your
• 3:02
  neighbor cuz everybody doesn't chew gum.
• 3:03
  But turn and tell them, you have all you
• 3:05
  need to go forth.
• 3:12
  It has been my intention over these past
• 3:14
  37 years
• 3:17
  to preach the whole council of God and
• 3:20
  to do so in a way that would inform you
• 3:24
  and inspire you to live your life out
• 3:28
  loud for God and to enjoy every day that
• 3:32
  you're given.
• 3:33
  >> I don't hear nobody's a little quiet.
• 3:36
  It's been my desire to preach and teach
• 3:39
  truth about Jesus Christ, our only
• 3:43
  savior.
• 3:47
  >> To make sure you understood that it's
• 3:49
  faith in Christ
• 3:51
  >> and his finished work on the cross,
• 3:54
  >> huh, that saves us
• 3:57
  >> and that alone.
• 3:59
  >> I Yeah, I'm going to be water baptized
• 4:02
  because I want to follow him. But water
• 4:04
  baptism don't save me. I want to be
• 4:07
  filled with the Holy Ghost overflowing
• 4:09
  because he's a gift. He's my helper.
• 4:13
  >> I wish I had me some folk to been on the
• 4:15
  online. Yeah, he's that to me. But none
• 4:17
  OF THAT THAT STUFF DOES NOT SAY MY FAITH
• 4:20
  in Jesus Christ and his finished work is
• 4:23
  what saves me
• 4:25
  >> and that alone. I've sought to teach you
• 4:27
  about tithing and giving
• 4:30
  >> because the enemy wants you broke. Amen.
• 4:35
  >> YEAH, YOU CAN SERVE GOD BROKE, but it
• 4:38
  ain't as fun.
• 4:40
  >> It's easy to get distracted
• 4:42
  >> when you trying to figure out how you
• 4:44
  going to pay that utility bill.
• 4:47
  >> RELATIONSHIPS HAVE A TENDENCY to be
• 4:49
  under strain
• 4:50
  >> when you don't have enough resources.
• 4:52
  >> So, I tried to show you from the word of
• 4:54
  God God's plan to get you into overflow.
• 4:58
  AMEN.
• 4:59
  >> WE DON'T SPEND OUR MONEY TO TAKE
• 5:01
  PICTURES TO SHOW folk who don't like us
• 5:02
  no way.
• 5:06
  >> I didn't think I'd have to pull y'all
• 5:07
  today. I thought y'all be with me on
• 5:09
  this. My thing, my goal, my desire has
• 5:12
  been to teach you to love God and to
• 5:14
  love yourself and to love people.
• 5:21
  >> All this cutting folk off and I don't
• 5:23
  need I don't bring that here. That
• 5:26
  doesn't go here.
• 5:28
  And that's why some people couldn't
• 5:30
  stay.
• 5:31
  >> Because if you got a desire to cut folk
• 5:33
  up and backbite and dog folk, this not
• 5:35
  the church for you. There plenty of
• 5:37
  them. Go somewhere else. But if you
• 5:39
  going to come here, we going to love
• 5:40
  everybody because the Bible said there's
• 5:43
  nothing that gives you boldness in the
• 5:44
  day of judgment, but perfect love.
• 5:50
  >> So I have to teach you to hold fast to
• 5:53
  your freedom.
• 5:54
  that everything social is not sinful.
• 6:00
  >> Taught to teach you that we are tripart
• 6:02
  spirit, soul, and body. That you got to
• 6:04
  get control of that mind if you going to
• 6:07
  live out the perfect will of God. You
• 6:09
  can't feed yourself a bunch of nastiness
• 6:12
  and then think holiness is going to come
• 6:14
  naturally. You got Oh Lord, y'all fell
• 6:16
  off again. You can be saved brand new on
• 6:19
  the inside, but if you don't change your
• 6:21
  mind, you will not see a change in your
• 6:24
  life.
• 6:26
  >> I've tried to teach you holiness.
• 6:29
  >> And holiness is not something you put on
• 6:33
  >> cuz you can cut I don't care how long
• 6:35
  the dress is. When you get when you
• 6:37
  start feeling freaky, you'll just pull
• 6:38
  it up.
• 6:40
  Oo Lord,
• 6:43
  do you hear me? Y'all better come on,
• 6:45
  talk to me. you you can wipe all your
• 6:48
  makeup off and still be hateful as a
• 6:50
  mug. Come on, y'all. So, it's not and
• 6:52
  I'm I'm not I'm not dogging anybody's
• 6:54
  personal preferences or what God may
• 6:56
  have said to them. But that is not what
• 6:59
  makes an individual holy.
• 7:02
  >> He has made me holy through the blood of
• 7:04
  Jesus. And I submit to the ministry of
• 7:07
  Holy Spirit and he sanctifies. He deals
• 7:10
  with you. Have you Have you had him do
• 7:11
  it? He'll start telling you, you need to
• 7:13
  walk away from that. You need to leave
• 7:14
  this alone. this don't work good for
• 7:16
  you. You stop feeding yourself this
• 7:17
  because have you noticed you starting to
• 7:19
  do too much thinking about cussing.
• 7:21
  Well, if you wasn't
• 7:23
  >> see and it's about letting Holy Spirit
• 7:25
  help you mortify or put to death the
• 7:28
  deeds of the body. Tried to talk about
• 7:30
  that with you and to remind you that we
• 7:32
  have a responsibility. They call it
• 7:34
  social justice. But to me that you and I
• 7:37
  ought to be those that stand up for
• 7:39
  people who can't stand up for
• 7:40
  themselves.
• 7:44
  And in this day where people are calling
• 7:46
  themselves Christians and just as racist
• 7:49
  and sexist and full of classism, these
• 7:51
  people are nuts.
• 7:59
  >> And as I was reflecting, so like I told
• 8:01
  you yesterday, I was kind of teary. I
• 8:02
  didn't know what was I was on my knees
• 8:03
  praying, "Oh God, have your way. Have
• 8:05
  your way." And I'm tearing. I'm he leads
• 8:07
  me
• 8:07
  >> to Judges 4
• 8:10
  >> because what I realized was
• 8:14
  here is a beautiful passage that shows
• 8:17
  two examples of what God wants to make
• 8:20
  sure we don't fall into
• 8:23
  >> because in Judges chapter 4 the children
• 8:26
  of Israel have gone through a period of
• 8:29
  peace and plenty and prosperity and as
• 8:32
  the case often is when we go through a
• 8:35
  lot out of ease and got us two nickels
• 8:37
  to rub together. We start forgetting
• 8:39
  about our walk of faith.
• 8:44
  >> Honey, you ain't heard nobody pray till
• 8:45
  the bill is due.
• 8:47
  >> Y'all ain't having church with me today.
• 8:50
  >> Let me just preach and go on home. Yeah.
• 8:53
  No, no, no, no. You Oh God, I'm asking
• 8:55
  you. Oh God, move in the name of Jesus.
• 8:58
  God, I need you to do it, God. Oh God,
• 9:00
  do it, God. Do it, God. You walk in the
• 9:03
  floor when it's something you want bad
• 9:05
  enough,
• 9:07
  >> but when everything good, got all the
• 9:09
  money you need, you say, "You getting up
• 9:10
  for devotion." Oh, is it today?
• 9:13
  >> Oh, man. I I'm I'm I'mma get back to it.
• 9:16
  I'm I'm I'mma watch it later.
• 9:19
  >> Because prosperity and peace and plenty,
• 9:21
  if you're not careful, can can make you
• 9:24
  lax.
• 9:26
  Come on, y'all. That's why I tell you,
• 9:27
  you have to be careful. It's the nature
• 9:29
  of security to make you forgetful.
• 9:33
  >> When you when everything is secure,
• 9:35
  you're not worried about things. If you
• 9:37
  know you got watch poke, you if you got
• 9:39
  watch dogs and you got security on the
• 9:41
  outside of your house, you go on in, you
• 9:43
  ain't worried about whether door locked
• 9:45
  or not, cuz they come in, they're going
• 9:46
  to get shot. You ain't even thinking
• 9:47
  y'all ain't here.
• 9:51
  >> And sometimes when God allows us those
• 9:53
  seasons to really bask in his goodness,
• 9:56
  we we we get lazy. It is up to you when
• 9:59
  you become aware of how good God is.
• 10:02
  It's up to you to say, "God, I'm not
• 10:03
  going to forget. I'm going to still rise
• 10:05
  and pray. I'm still going to give you
• 10:07
  the glory. I'm still going to bring my
• 10:09
  t." SEE, OH YEAH, WE WOULD T LET ME TELL
• 10:11
  YOU SOMETHING. IT IS EASIER to tithe
• 10:13
  when you're struggling than it is when
• 10:15
  you got plenty.
• 10:17
  >> I know you don't believe it cuz in your
• 10:18
  mind you say, "Uh-uh, pastor, that don't
• 10:20
  sound right." But honey, WHEN YOU AIN'T
• 10:22
  GOT but $109
• 10:24
  >> and you got $140 worth of bills, it can
• 10:28
  BE CHALLENGING TO WRITE OUT THAT $10.90.
• 10:32
  >> But you going to do IT BECAUSE IN YOUR
• 10:34
  MIND, YOU SAY, "Let me tell you
• 10:35
  something. I'm already struggling. I
• 10:36
  need God to help me. Oh no, I got to pay
• 10:40
  my tithe." Now, you may not get paid,
• 10:42
  Sears, but let me tell you what. God
• 10:44
  fitting to get here. Well, y'all,
• 10:46
  >> but what do you do when you're bringing
• 10:48
  home $30,000 a month?
• 10:54
  >> Now, you have to be MOTIVATED BY
• 10:56
  SOMETHING OTHER than your need.
• 11:01
  >> Well, they dropped off. They stopped
• 11:03
  doing what they should have done. They
• 11:04
  didn't they didn't GRAB IT. SO, EHOOD
• 11:06
  COMES ON THE SCENE. E comes big E.
• 11:10
  >> Big E comes in and reminds them that
• 11:13
  don't YOU GET SO UPPIDITY JUST CUZ YOU
• 11:15
  GOT A NICE CAR AND JUST CUZ YOUR LITTLE
• 11:17
  BILLS are paid. DON'T GET SO UPPETY THAT
• 11:19
  YOU GOT A LOUIS VUITTON that you won't
• 11:21
  reach in it and give us Y'all ain't
• 11:23
  here. Still ain't here. Don't Don't let
• 11:25
  the red bottom sit there and you won't
• 11:27
  even dance on them. SURELY IF YOU GOT
• 11:29
  $1,000 TO PAY FOR A PAIR OF SHOES, YOU
• 11:32
  OUGHT TO SHOUT IN THEM.
• 11:34
  Come on, guys. Come on, guys. I'm about
• 11:36
  to START LOOKING FOR THE CREASES in
• 11:38
  these shoes.
• 11:44
  >> He who comes on the scene and reminds us
• 11:48
  >> that you got to live a certain way
• 11:50
  because you ought to be covenant
• 11:51
  conscious.
• 11:54
  >> But then THE BIBLE SAYS HE DIES AND THEY
• 11:57
  GO BACK INTO THEIR FOOLISHNESS.
• 12:00
  And what that says is
• 12:03
  there's something wrong. When you first
• 12:06
  read it, it's like, okay, Ehood dies and
• 12:08
  they go back into that sinfulness. It's
• 12:10
  like, well, maybe they were grieving.
• 12:14
  Wait a minute.
• 12:17
  Let me say this. If somebody dies or
• 12:21
  moves off the scene and you stop doing
• 12:24
  the stuff you were doing,
• 12:26
  >> you weren't doing it for the right
• 12:27
  reason to start with.
• 12:29
  >> [applause]
• 12:30
  >> One hand, two.
• 12:33
  Oh, come on here. IF IF IF IF THEY MOVE
• 12:37
  ON OR THEY DIE and then you you stop
• 12:40
  now. You used TO ALWAYS GET UP AND PRAY.
• 12:41
  YOU USED TO always do it. NOW YOU DON'T
• 12:43
  DO IT. IT IS NOT A COMPLIMENT.
• 12:48
  >> We talk about it all the time. In fact,
• 12:50
  we had a real talk last night. I was
• 12:52
  saying now I hope I believe God to live
• 12:54
  many years. You know, I asked them, I
• 12:56
  think I asked, I said, "Now, 84 sound
• 12:58
  like a good number."
• 13:01
  I said, "But in a very honest way, I
• 13:03
  have to prepare them because my mother
• 13:06
  passed at 65. Whoever she had been with,
• 13:08
  they were already gone. Bae's parents
• 13:11
  did not have long life.
• 13:13
  I don't know how long,
• 13:16
  >> but if and I know they're going to cry,
• 13:18
  and I want them to cry. Cry.
• 13:22
  I want you to go just cry a little bit.
• 13:24
  cry and get your money.
• 13:27
  God,
• 13:28
  I want them. [laughter] Here she go. God
• 13:31
  knows I love that woman.
• 13:34
  >> I want them to rejoice. But here's the
• 13:35
  thing. If I pass on and they collapse,
• 13:41
  >> that is not honor to me.
• 13:44
  >> That says I failed in some way. IF I DID
• 13:48
  NOT PREPARE THEM ENOUGH TO KEEP ON
• 13:51
  living and KEEP ON ENJOYING, KEEP ON
• 13:53
  SERVING GOD, KEEP ON PRIORITIZING THEIR
• 13:56
  FAMILY, IF I DID NOT TEACH THEM THAT
• 13:58
  THEY GO TO PIECES AND FALL INTO THE
• 14:00
  BOTTLE AND DON'T WANT TO DO RIGHT, I
• 14:02
  didn't do well.
• 14:05
  >> See, because sometimes
• 14:07
  stuff that looks like honor ain't honor.
• 14:12
  >> I thought about this thing. I said, "Now
• 14:14
  Ehood, Big E dies and they go to
• 14:17
  pieces." So I started thinking about
• 14:19
  y'all.
• 14:21
  >> I taught y'all from the word of God,
• 14:24
  >> Amen.
• 14:25
  >> that you got to be strong enough for
• 14:27
  your season.
• 14:29
  >> That if the test and trials and
• 14:31
  temptations of a particular season cause
• 14:34
  a deterioration of already established
• 14:36
  truth, you weren't strong enough for
• 14:38
  your season. I taught you that we're not
• 14:40
  just hes of God, but we're joint hes
• 14:42
  with Jesus Christ. Oh God, that you
• 14:45
  ought to be blessed. It's only right
• 14:47
  that you be blessed. That there's a
• 14:49
  shouldness to your bless. I TAUGHT YOU
• 14:51
  THAT image is everything. IT'S NOT JUST
• 14:54
  THE WINDOW THAT IT'S NOT JUST THE MIRROR
• 14:57
  YOU LOOK INTO, BUT IT'S THE window you
• 14:59
  look through. THAT YOU DON'T NEED
• 15:00
  SOMEBODY ELSE TO VALIDATE YOU. YOU'VE
• 15:03
  ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR. YOUR PRICE HAS
• 15:06
  ALREADY BEEN SET. AND NUDGE YOUR
• 15:08
  NEIGHBOR AND SAY, "AND I DON'T GIVE
• 15:09
  DISCOUNTS."
• 15:13
  >> I'VE ALREADY TAUGHT YOU THAT worship
• 15:17
  is this awareness that I'm in his
• 15:20
  presence and I desire to pour out
• 15:22
  adoration, but I want to drink in who he
• 15:24
  is. It is the purposeful putting DOWN OF
• 15:27
  ONESELF SO that I could exalt the other.
• 15:29
  I'VE ALREADY TAUGHT YOU THAT GOD IS
• 15:31
  EVERYWHERE, BUT HE'S NOT EVERYWHERE IN
• 15:33
  MANIFESTATION. BUT IF you want him TO
• 15:35
  SHOW HIMSELF, YOU GOT TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH
• 15:37
  AND START PRAISING HIM. If you ain't too
• 15:40
  CUTE TO SAY, "GOD, I love you. God, I
• 15:42
  NEED YOU. JESUS, AIN'T NOBODY LIKE YOU."
• 15:45
  GOD WILL STEP FROM BEHIND THE INVISIBLE
• 15:48
  and get active in your right now.
• 15:52
  You know, I noticed on that shirt that
• 15:55
  they had made, um, there were two
• 15:57
  mistakes on it in the definitions. The
• 16:01
  little shirt with me in the corner like
• 16:02
  that right there. That's right there.
• 16:04
  Hold it up, John. Yeah, I got Valerie to
• 16:07
  bring hers in.
• 16:09
  Can you help me? You telling us?
• 16:14
  All right. Yeah. Hold it up. Turn
• 16:16
  around. [clears throat] That's nice. But
• 16:18
  there was a mistake in it. I just
• 16:20
  happened to be reading it today. I never
• 16:23
  read it closely. It said, "Grace is the
• 16:26
  earned favor."
• 16:31
  >> That's not right. Because grace is not
• 16:33
  something you earn. It's something you
• 16:35
  must be eligible for.
• 16:38
  Oh God, I don't know. WE TAUGHT YOU
• 16:41
  FAITH IS THAT SEED OF ETERNAL law given
• 16:44
  TO MAN BY GOD SO that man CAN KNOW GOD.
• 16:46
  I'M GOING too far back, can't a receive
• 16:48
  his provision, you know, function will
• 16:50
  all. So I I I've TAUGHT ALL THESE
• 16:51
  THINGS. BUT IF WHEN I GET MOVED OFF THE
• 16:54
  SCENE, YOU STEP AWAY FROM THAT,
• 16:57
  >> that is not honor.
• 17:00
  Mm- And I recognize if honor gets out of
• 17:04
  balance,
• 17:05
  if you get out of balance with honor for
• 17:07
  your leader, and you ought to honor your
• 17:09
  leader,
• 17:11
  >> but if you get out of balance with it,
• 17:14
  >> then you lose a God-scent conduit for
• 17:17
  the supernatural. If you don't have
• 17:19
  enough honor,
• 17:21
  >> well, that just tread that just that lay
• 17:24
  them up. If you get if you don't have
• 17:26
  enough honor, then you sacrifice a
• 17:29
  God-scent conduit for the supernatural
• 17:32
  grace of your life.
• 17:34
  >> But if you go in the other direction,
• 17:37
  >> it will create an unhealthy dependence
• 17:41
  which is unholy idolatry.
• 17:45
  >> I just need a few folk. I just I just Oh
• 17:48
  Lord. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If you if IF IT
• 17:50
  BECOMES TOO MUCH, IF IT'S OUT OF
• 17:52
  BALANCE, IF IT'S TOO FIXED ON
• 17:53
  PERSONALITY,
• 17:56
  >> IT'S VERY POSSIBLE TO BE SO ALL ABOUT
• 17:58
  THE GIFT AND FORGET THAT IT'S GOD THAT
• 18:01
  SENT THE GIFT. AND IN IT, what's the
• 18:03
  what's Paul say? IN ME THAT IS IN MY
• 18:06
  FLESH DWELLS NO GOOD.
• 18:09
  >> ARE Y'ALL HERE?
• 18:11
  >> SO IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN WHATEVER'S
• 18:14
  GOOD IN me is God.
• 18:18
  SO THAT MEANS WHENEVER WHOEVER you love
• 18:20
  moves off the scene, whether heaven or
• 18:23
  into another situation,
• 18:25
  you ain't left without them cuz what was
• 18:28
  really touching you was the God in them.
• 18:31
  >> And nudge your neighbor and say, "He
• 18:33
  ain't gone nowhere."
• 18:35
  >> Oh, hallelujah.
• 18:37
  What I realized is THERE WERE TWO
• 18:40
  EXAMPLES IN THIS ONE TEXT WHERE THE
• 18:43
  PEOPLE were relating to their leader
• 18:46
  improperly.
• 18:49
  >> They looked at Ehood and as LONG AS HE
• 18:51
  WAS ON THE SCENE, THEY DID WHAT HE SAID.
• 18:54
  >> But when he died, they fell away.
• 18:57
  >> And Deborah was God's choice.
• 19:00
  >> And then now I don't like Barack or
• 19:03
  whatever his name is.
• 19:05
  They begin to relate to their leader
• 19:09
  like an angel
• 19:11
  >> or a good luck charm.
• 19:15
  >> See, we like that. That's pastor, you
• 19:16
  said you my angel. I'm tell you like an
• 19:18
  angel. God know. God knows.
• 19:22
  Now I understand that in the Bible there
• 19:25
  were times where pastors were related to
• 19:28
  as the angel of the house. But let me
• 19:31
  explain why
• 19:33
  they were considered the angel of the
• 19:35
  house because they were the mouthpiece
• 19:38
  of the house.
• 19:39
  >> They were the what?
• 19:41
  >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. THEY WERE THE
• 19:42
  MOUTHPIECE. AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN OUR
• 19:44
  voices thunder with truth in a way that
• 19:48
  seems men oh it's like incredible.
• 19:51
  But folks, I ain't no angel,
• 19:56
  but I'm surely a saint.
• 19:59
  Oh, you you you're going to catch on in
• 20:01
  a minute. Deborah was an amazing leader.
• 20:05
  Eh who was gone. They had gone back into
• 20:07
  foolishness. And God raised up Deborah.
• 20:10
  They began to crowd because those
• 20:12
  people, Jabin's armies were afflicting
• 20:14
  them so badly. He had 900 chariots. all
• 20:17
  that. They were living in days like we
• 20:20
  living in now where they're trying to
• 20:22
  erase color out of our country,
• 20:25
  >> getting throwing books away and trying
• 20:28
  to rewrite history.
• 20:30
  >> And while while folk, [sighs]
• 20:34
  >> they in here banning the banning the
• 20:36
  ability to teach slavery,
• 20:40
  >> teach the history.
• 20:46
  Can you believe that?
• 20:49
  And so when people get under bondage,
• 20:51
  they start crying out to God. God, we
• 20:53
  need somebody. AND GOD RAISED UP
• 20:55
  DEBORAH.
• 20:57
  >> They say, Dborah, I don't want this.
• 20:58
  That's hard to say for me. Work with me.
• 21:00
  She ain't here. She don't mind.
• 21:04
  He raises her up and SHE'S A WOMAN OF
• 21:07
  GOD. SHE'S A PROPHETIST. NA. SHE CAN
• 21:09
  HEAR FROM GOD. SHE KNOWS WHAT GOD WANTS
• 21:11
  IN A SEASON. SHE'S AWARE OF WHAT THE
• 21:13
  PEOPLE OUGHT TO BE DOING. SHE IS FILLED
• 21:16
  WITH THE POWER OF GOD AND SHE JUDGES
• 21:19
  THEM FROM UNDER A PALM TREE. I LOVE THAT
• 21:21
  BECAUSE WHAT THAT SAYS IS NOT ONLY IS
• 21:23
  SHE DEEP, but she's easy to get to.
• 21:26
  >> SHE'S SHE'S PERSONABLE. YOU UNDERSTAND
• 21:28
  WHAT I'M SAYING? YOU CAN WALK UP AND
• 21:30
  GIVE HER A HUG. SHE HAS THE WISDOM OF I
• 21:32
  DON'T LIKE UPPETITY PEOPLE. CAN I JUST
• 21:34
  SAY THAT ON MY WAY OUT? I KNOW GOD IS
• 21:37
  GOING TO TAKE THIS MINISTRY TO HEIGHTS
• 21:38
  UNKNOWN, BUT PLEASE DON'T EVER GET
• 21:40
  UPPETY. YOU AIN'T LISTEN AIN'T NONE OF
• 21:42
  US ALL THAT. THE ONLY GOOD THING IN US
• 21:45
  IS JESUS. ANYBODY OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO
• 21:48
  APPROACH YOU.
• 21:53
  >> DEBORAH WAS WAS JUDGING THE PEOPLE.
• 21:56
  >> And she was amazing.
• 21:58
  >> I like a she like a a cousin
• 22:03
  >> cuz I I feel like I got a degree of the
• 22:05
  wisdom of God.
• 22:08
  >> I'm married to a lapidoth.
• 22:11
  Come on,
• 22:13
  teach the heart of God. But she wasn't
• 22:16
  an angel and neither am I. See, let me
• 22:19
  share something. If you make see
• 22:22
  improper perspective on honor regarding
• 22:25
  a leader, again, if you don't have honor
• 22:28
  for a leader, then you are disconnected
• 22:31
  from the security, the direction, the
• 22:34
  perspective, and the grace that should
• 22:36
  be on your life. Yeah.
• 22:39
  >> But if you start idolizing your leader
• 22:43
  >> and making them out like they some angel
• 22:45
  with wings or something, there are a
• 22:48
  couple things that you do. WATCH THIS.
• 22:50
  IF YOU MAKE THEM AN ANGEL, I put it like
• 22:52
  this. I may be an anomaly, but I ain't
• 22:55
  an angel.
• 22:58
  >> Okay, y'all. Y'all, it's okay. An
• 23:00
  anomaly is unusual. And I'm going to be
• 23:02
  honest, I don't even think I'm that
• 23:04
  unusual.
• 23:05
  That's just my opinion. BUT WHATEVER YOU
• 23:07
  DO, DON'T TRY TO MAKE ME into an angel.
• 23:11
  >> I don't have wings.
• 23:14
  >> Angels are they are spiritual. They're
• 23:17
  not physical.
• 23:18
  >> AND WATCH THIS. ANGELS ARE pure without
• 23:22
  practice.
• 23:26
  >> See, if you start and then people say,
• 23:28
  "Lord, that was my angel. They gone.
• 23:30
  They gone." And and sometime we even put
• 23:31
  things on the car. They got a little
• 23:33
  picture of the person wings. I'm not mad
• 23:34
  at you. Do what you got to do. But I'm
• 23:36
  just saying if you try to categorize
• 23:38
  them as an angel,
• 23:41
  >> you you you're missing this thing. They
• 23:42
  may be unusual in their sweetness, but
• 23:45
  they are no angel because angels are
• 23:48
  spiritual. They're not physical. Let me
• 23:50
  tell you something. It ain't been easy
• 23:51
  these 37 years. First of all, I'm not
• 23:53
  even a morning person. So, think of how
• 23:55
  many mornings I've gotten up and we've
• 23:57
  done early morning devotion and I can't
• 23:59
  hardly see. I'm trying to put on makeup
• 24:00
  and Jerel ain't at the house that early
• 24:02
  in the morning. I'm coming on and just
• 24:04
  all kind of a way, but you get up and do
• 24:06
  it. But it was not EASY TO DO IT. I
• 24:08
  DON'T FLOAT from the bed.
• 24:11
  I had TO GET UP CRYING AND BLINKING AND
• 24:13
  MAD CUZ IT'S EARLY TALKING ABOUT I DON'T
• 24:15
  KNOW WHY THEY WANT TO GET UP THIS EARLY.
• 24:17
  I DON'T EVEN BELIEVE JESUS want to talk
• 24:18
  to nobody at 6:00 in the morning.
• 24:25
  THEY'RE SPIRITUAL. I'M PHYSICAL. I GET
• 24:27
  TIRED. I GET AGITATED. I CAN COME OUT MY
• 24:31
  MOUTH TOO FAST.
• 24:34
  Y'ALL CAN'T
• 24:37
  >> NOT AN ANGEL. AND SEE, WHEN WE IDOLIZE
• 24:39
  PEOPLE AND THEN WHEN WE SEE THAT THEY'RE
• 24:40
  REAL, THEN WE GET MAD.
• 24:46
  [applause]
• 24:49
  >> May be an anomaly, but I'm not an angel.
• 24:51
  Because angels are spiritual. They're
• 24:53
  not physical. Pastor Trevor, he's he's
• 24:56
  he's a man.
• 24:57
  >> Lady M. They she's female. They they
• 24:59
  they got family. They got bills. They
• 25:00
  got clothes to put up.
• 25:02
  They got to put gas in the truck just
• 25:04
  like everybody else.
• 25:05
  >> People tickle me. They see me in the
• 25:07
  grocery store. Now I don't go a lot.
• 25:12
  >> But it ain't like I don't know how to go
• 25:14
  when I go. I never thought I'd see you
• 25:16
  here.
• 25:19
  You think I got THIS SIZE WITHOUT
• 25:21
  EATING? I don't even understand what you
• 25:22
  talking about.
• 25:24
  [applause]
• 25:25
  YEAH, I GO THROUGH STUFF. I GOT TO I I
• 25:27
  GOT TO GET GAS. I GOT TO GO GET FOOD. I
• 25:29
  HAVE TO I HAVE TO PAY BILLS. I HAVE
• 25:30
  THINGS LIKE THAT. ANGELS ARE SPIRITUAL.
• 25:34
  >> They're not physical.
• 25:36
  >> But the other thing is angels are pure
• 25:38
  without practice.
• 25:40
  >> See, if you try to make your leader out
• 25:42
  to be some angel,
• 25:45
  >> watch this. You discount the work that
• 25:47
  me and Holy Spirit have done on my
• 25:49
  nature.
• 25:51
  >> Oh, see you. Oh, pastor, I'm not like
• 25:54
  you. Oh, you just Oh, you so sweet. I
• 25:56
  ain't like that. What you mean you ain't
• 25:57
  like that? I wasn't like this either.
• 25:59
  Come on.
• 26:00
  >> If you'd HAVE CAUGHT ME 40 YEARS AGO AND
• 26:02
  run up on me, I'D HAVE CUSSED YOUR TAIL
• 26:04
  OUT.
• 26:05
  >> Y'ALL DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA. THEY DONE
• 26:07
  THAT STORY. THEY WOULDN'T EVEN LET me
• 26:09
  listen. I did the last broadcast and I
• 26:12
  was recording. I was going to blast
• 26:13
  them. I had already planned it. They
• 26:15
  wouldn't let me do it.
• 26:17
  Oh no. I was coming for them. See, it's
• 26:20
  still in me. Pray. Stretch your hands
• 26:21
  this way. Pray for me. I was getting
• 26:23
  ready to say all the money I spent here
• 26:24
  at Fox and everybody saying, "Now y'all
• 26:26
  going to try to put me on black?" Oh, I
• 26:27
  was getting ready to go slam off.
• 26:31
  This smile did not come automatically.
• 26:35
  IT WAS SCRAPED OUT OF SORROW JUST LIKE
• 26:37
  YOURS.
• 26:39
  >> THE LAUGH THAT WE HAVE. THIS STUFF AIN'T
• 26:41
  IT. THIS THING CAME OUT OF BATTLING
• 26:43
  LONELINESS. THIS WON'T THAT WAS LIFTED
• 26:45
  FROM THOSE LONELY DAYS.
• 26:47
  >> IF YOU TRY TO MAKE THIS OUT TO BE SOME
• 26:49
  ANGEL. OH, PASTOR CHRIS. OH, PASTOR.
• 26:51
  LIKE SHE JUST FLOAT THROUGH THE SKY.
• 26:54
  >> DR. SHANDELLE LIKE HE DON'T EVER GET
• 26:56
  TEMPTED WITH ANYTHING.
• 26:59
  >> THEN YOU DISCOUNT THE WORK OF TIME WE
• 27:02
  WENT AT THE ALTAR WHERE WE WOULD STAY
• 27:04
  AND SIT AT THE ALTAR AND CRY WHERE WE
• 27:06
  HAD TO FIGHT THROUGH OUR STUFF. I'M NOT
• 27:08
  AN ANGEL BUT I AM A SAINT. I HAVE BEEN
• 27:10
  WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS. BUT DON'T
• 27:13
  IDOLIZE A LEADER TO THE POINT WHERE YOU
• 27:16
  DISCOUNT THE WORK THEY HAD TO DO TO GET
• 27:18
  WHERE THEY ARE. [cheering]
• 27:23
  And see too, if you make if you make a
• 27:25
  leader get your honor out of balance,
• 27:27
  you make this leader. So
• 27:30
  then that's your way, not y'all. But you
• 27:33
  eliminate the need to have to work on
• 27:36
  yourself to be like that.
• 27:40
  >> Mhm. Yes, sir. Cuz this what we do,
• 27:43
  pastor. All these people out here lying
• 27:45
  like this. I ain't like you though. You
• 27:46
  different. You just see you want to say
• 27:48
  that.
• 27:51
  Because you want to put me like it was
• 27:53
  easy for me just to forgive.
• 27:56
  >> So if you make me out to be some kind of
• 27:59
  oh see you I ain't like you. You b youm
• 28:06
  you are just like me.
• 28:08
  >> And the same way I had to sit in my room
• 28:10
  and fight and go I cannot believe that
• 28:13
  these folk be lying on kids like this
• 28:15
  and I have to go through those changes.
• 28:16
  I have to b then I have to be reminded
• 28:18
  by the Holy Spirit. Ain't no sense of
• 28:20
  you getting that uppetity. Look at all
• 28:22
  the times you done disappointed God.
• 28:24
  Look at all the times you
• 28:27
  Look at how much grace you've received.
• 28:30
  You mean to tell me you can't offer them
• 28:31
  forgiveness all the stuff God forgave
• 28:33
  you for? Don't you y'all not having
• 28:35
  church with me? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE
• 28:37
  CAREFUL THAT YOU DON'T MAKE A LEADER
• 28:39
  SEEM LIKE AN ANGEL BECAUSE THEN YOU FIND
• 28:42
  A way to eliminate the need to follow
• 28:45
  their faith. But you and I have been
• 28:47
  called to follow those who through faith
• 28:49
  and patience
• 28:50
  >> inherit the promises. We are not angels.
• 28:54
  >> We are surely saints though.
• 28:56
  >> We should be honored never idolized.
• 28:59
  >> Don't you remember when they Paul Paul
• 29:02
  Paul Paul was preaching in one place and
• 29:04
  they started oh you're like Barnabas
• 29:06
  you're like Jupiter and Paul you're
• 29:08
  mccurious all this. He said what are
• 29:10
  y'all doing? Stand up. Don't be bowing
• 29:12
  down to us like that. He said, "We are
• 29:15
  men of like passions and we are
• 29:17
  preaching to you to get you to turn away
• 29:18
  from that kind of foolishness and turn
• 29:21
  to the living God." Peter said the same
• 29:23
  thing. He said, "Don't worship me,
• 29:24
  Cornelia. Y'all stand up."
• 29:28
  >> And it is funny how we have a tendency
• 29:30
  to fall down to worship a person
• 29:33
  >> before we'll fall down on our face. And
• 29:35
  thank God
• 29:37
  I'm praying.
• 29:40
  our text you see two issues. Not just
• 29:43
  the people falling away.
• 29:47
  But Barack,
• 29:49
  Israel is oppressed. They cry out. God
• 29:52
  raises up Deborah. AND THEN GOD GIVES
• 29:54
  DEBORAH A WORD. SHE SAYS, "BARACK, God
• 29:57
  is telling you TO GO AND FIGHT." NOW,
• 30:02
  I've heard this preached so many times,
• 30:04
  Prophet Nich. I've heard this thing
• 30:05
  preached and I always thought it was
• 30:07
  kind of smooth cuz when they preach it t
• 30:10
  what the way they do it is when they
• 30:11
  preach it they make Deborah like like
• 30:13
  she's a hero and she is she's a a heroin
• 30:15
  or whatever you would call female. Oh he
• 30:18
  said if YOU GO WITH ME I'LL go
• 30:21
  >> but if you don't go I ain't going and
• 30:24
  everybody like
• 30:27
  my mind said wait a minute
• 30:30
  >> you mean to tell me God is telling you
• 30:33
  to do something.
• 30:35
  And you saying you ain't going to do it
• 30:37
  cuz if she don't go,
• 30:43
  >> that sound like idolatry to me.
• 30:46
  >> Oh, I got Okay, I'm almost done. Y'all
• 30:48
  just keep staring.
• 30:50
  He said he said HE SAID IF YOU GO, I'LL
• 30:53
  GO,
• 30:55
  BUT IF YOU don't go,
• 30:57
  I'm not going going. What are you doing,
• 31:01
  BARACK? THAT YOU HAVE ELEVATED DEBORAH
• 31:05
  TO THE PLACE OF SOME KIND OF ANGEL OR
• 31:07
  GOOD LUCK CHARM.
• 31:10
  >> THIS IS NOT HONOR. IF YOU THINK YOU
• 31:12
  CAN'T GO ON WITHOUT HER WHEN GOD IS THE
• 31:15
  ONE THAT'S ACTIVE IN your life.
• 31:19
  >> Okay,
• 31:21
  I know it's early, but say, "I have
• 31:22
  everything I need to go forth.
• 31:24
  >> I have everything I need."
• 31:26
  >> YOU AND I DON'T EVER YOU DON'T LINK YOUR
• 31:28
  JOY TO ANYBODY. YOU DON'T LEAK YOUR
• 31:31
  VICTORY to anybody. You don't link
• 31:34
  whether YOU GOING TO OBEY GOD TO
• 31:36
  ANYBODY. I WANT THEM TO GO, BUT IF THEY
• 31:38
  DON'T GO, I'M GOING BY MYSELF BECAUSE
• 31:41
  WHATEVER GOD TOLD ME TO DO, I intend TO
• 31:44
  FOLLOW THROUGH. IF MAMA DON'T GO, Y'ALL
• 31:47
  AIN'T READY. IF DADDY DON'T GO, IF TORCH
• 31:50
  DOESN'T GO, I'M STILL GOING TO GO
• 31:53
  BECAUSE THERE'S STILL A HEAVEN TO GAIN
• 31:56
  and a hell to shine. People [music]
• 32:03
  talking about I I want to go. I told one
• 32:05
  guy I'll never forget. He's like, "Well,
• 32:07
  my wife just gave me such a fit." I
• 32:09
  said, "Man, you need to grow a pair."
• 32:11
  [cheering]
• 32:13
  >> Dr. Alicia, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Jesus.
• 32:17
  Now, what I told him though,
• 32:19
  doc, you the man of the house or what?
• 32:23
  >> You
• 32:26
  [laughter]
• 32:30
  Yeah. What are you saying? Barack is an
• 32:33
  EXAMPLE OF WHAT IMPROPER honor looks
• 32:36
  like.
• 32:38
  >> IF IF IF ALL THAT WE HAVE TAUGHT BRINGS
• 32:41
  YOU TO THIS POINT AND THEN BECAUSE GOD
• 32:44
  SHIFTS US IN ANOTHER DIRECTION, THEN ALL
• 32:46
  OF A SUDDEN YOU REGRESS, THAT IS NOT
• 32:48
  HONOR.
• 32:50
  THE WAY YOU WILL SHOW ME HONOR WHEN I
• 32:53
  die
• 32:55
  >> is that you WILL LIVE YOUR LIVES TO THE
• 32:57
  FULLEST FOR GOD.
• 32:59
  >> THAT YOU'LL LOVE YOUR WIFE AND YOUR
• 33:00
  FAMILY AND HAVE A BALL WITH THEM. THAT
• 33:03
  YOU WILL FROLIC IN THIS EARTH. GOD GAVE
• 33:04
  US TWO NICKELS. HONEY, SPEND THEM AND
• 33:06
  HAVE A BALL WITH IT.
• 33:08
  >> BUT IF I FIND OUT THAT AFTER MY TIME TO
• 33:11
  GO BE WITH HIM, YOU SITTING somewhere
• 33:13
  won't TALK TO NOBODY. WON'T GO. I can't
• 33:16
  go. How you going? I just I don't what a
• 33:19
  failure I would have been.
• 33:22
  >> Barack shows us improper honor can
• 33:27
  paralyze you
• 33:28
  >> in the face of a command of God.
• 33:36
  >> I'm not a lucky charm.
• 33:38
  You have everything you need to obey
• 33:40
  God. You have everything you need, watch
• 33:43
  this, to go forth in what God is calling
• 33:45
  you to have. There are things God you
• 33:48
  already know. How many know God has
• 33:49
  spoken to you about some stuff he wants
• 33:50
  you to do in your life? Some of you got
• 33:52
  a picture on the inside of the way God
• 33:55
  wants your life to be and you're not
• 33:56
  there yet. Does anybody say, "I'm not
• 33:58
  quite there yet." But let me tell you
• 34:00
  something. If everything shifts, you
• 34:02
  still have everything you need to get it
• 34:04
  done. You got enough word in you. I wish
• 34:06
  I had some saved people in here that
• 34:09
  know that Jesus is the Lord of your
• 34:10
  life. It was Jesus that lived, suffered,
• 34:13
  and died TO SET YOUR SOUL FREE. AND THAT
• 34:16
  HE IS NOW LIVING ON THE INSIDE OF YOU BY
• 34:19
  THE PERSON OF THE HOLY GHOST. I WISH
• 34:21
  SOMEBODY WOULD SHOUT EMMANUEL,
• 34:24
  EMMANUEL, WITH US BE GOD. SO IF NOBODY
• 34:28
  ELSE IS THERE, I STILL HAVE EVERYTHING I
• 34:31
  NEED TO GO FORTH. I MAY BE CRYING ABOUT
• 34:34
  IT, BUT I'M STILL GOING TO GO FORTH.
• 34:37
  DEBRIS MAY NOT BE THERE, BUT AS LONG AS
• 34:40
  JESUS IS THERE,
• 34:42
  [music]
• 34:46
  I've been a good leader, then you
• 34:49
  already know you a joint air.
• 34:52
  >> If I've been a good leader, you already
• 34:55
  know that the Holy Spirit is your
• 34:56
  pariclete.
• 34:58
  >> If I've been a good leader, you already
• 34:59
  know you got to be covenant conscious.
• 35:02
  If I've been a good leader, you ought to
• 35:03
  already know that whether anybody
• 35:05
  supports you or claps for you, the
• 35:07
  majority is already in on your side.
• 35:10
  THERE'S MORE FOR YOU THAN ARE AGAINST
• 35:12
  YOU. Come on, y'all know THE WORD. IF
• 35:14
  GOD BE FOR ME,
• 35:18
  who can be against me? YOU GOT TO SEAL
• 35:21
  IT IN YOUR SPIRIT, PASTOR. I love you,
• 35:24
  Bishop. You've been a blessing, BUT YOU
• 35:27
  TAUGHT ME ABOUT JESUS. AND SO JUST LIKE
• 35:30
  JESUS SAID, IT IS EXPEDIENT FOR YOU THAT
• 35:34
  I GO AWAY. FOR IF I GO NOT AWAY, GOD'S
• 35:38
  NEXT PHASE OF LEADERSHIP CANNOT COME ON
• 35:42
  THE SCENE, BUT IF I GO, I'M GOING TO
• 35:45
  LEAVE YOU WITH SOMETHING. TOUCH YOUR
• 35:47
  NEIGHBOR AND SAY, "I'VE BEEN LEFT WITH
• 35:49
  SOMETHING. I GOT FAITH. I GOT JOY. I GOT
• 35:54
  POWER. I GOT WISDOM. I GOT UNDERSTANDING
• 35:59
  AND NOBODY CAN TAKE IT.
• 36:06
  You have what you need to go forth.
• 36:09
  >> I said you have what you need to go
• 36:11
  forth.
• 36:12
  >> You need Jesus
• 36:14
  >> and you have Jesus.
• 36:16
  >> You need the power of Holy Spirit and he
• 36:19
  ever lives and abides.
• 36:21
  >> You need a great church and you got one.
• 36:25
  Nudge people around you and say, "I have
• 36:27
  a great church." DECLARE IT FOR
• 36:29
  YOURSELF. SAY, "I HAVE A GREAT CHURCH."
• 36:32
  >> YEAH. And you going to need the next
• 36:34
  generation OF PASTORS THAT GOT THE OIL
• 36:37
  ON THEM TO LEAD YOU INTO the next
• 36:40
  promised land. WE'RE GOING FROM FAITH TO
• 36:42
  FAITH AND FROM GLORY TO GLORY EVEN AS BY
• 36:47
  THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD. SO NOW I SAY,
• 36:49
  [screaming] "FIGHT ON, CHILDREN. FIGHT
• 36:52
  ON." HE PROMISED NEVER to leave me.
• 36:57
  Never to LEAVE ME ALONE. FIGHT
• 36:59
  [screaming] ON.
• 37:01
  FIGHT ON. BECAUSE SURELY HE'S walking
• 37:05
  beside you. And I'll leave YOU LIKE THIS
• 37:08
  NOW UNTO him that is able to keep you
• 37:13
  from falling. YOU DON'T NEED ME LIKE
• 37:16
  THAT. Love me, but keep on serving.
• 37:21
  appreciate me. But keep on lifting him
• 37:24
  up now unto him
• 37:28
  unto
• 37:30
  unto [music]
• 37:31
  who is able to keep you from falling AND
• 37:35
  PRESENT YOU FAULTLESS BEFORE THE
• 37:38
  presence y'all ain't have a church with
• 37:40
  ME OF HIS GLORY WITH EXCEEDING JOY TO
• 37:44
  THE ONLY WISE [screaming] God
• 37:47
  our savior be glory
• 37:51
  and majesty
• 37:53
  dominion
• 37:54
  and power. Acts 20 says, maybe I'll
• 37:58
  leave y'all with a few of these. He
• 38:00
  said, "Now, brethren, I commend you to
• 38:02
  God, to the word of his grace, which is
• 38:06
  able to build you up and give you an
• 38:08
  inheritance among all them that are
• 38:11
  sanctified." Well, here's another one.
• 38:13
  Now unto him that is able to do
• 38:16
  exceeding abundantly above all you can
• 38:20
  ask or think according to the power HIT

  POTENTATE
• 38:43
  THE KING OF KINGS, THE LORD OF LORDS,
• 38:47
  WHO ONLY HATH IMMORTALITY.
• 38:52
  >> FINALLY, he says in Revelation,
• 38:55
  "Unto him that loved us, and washed us
• 38:58
  from our sins in his own blood, and made
• 39:03
  us kings and priests unto God and his
• 39:05
  father. To him
• 39:09
  >> be glory. To him

  treat people like they matter.
• 40:19
  >> And before you put your foot on

• 40:24
  >> Let me see you take the time to see
• 40:26
  somebody suffering and step in and make
• 40:28
  a difference for them.
• 40:30
  >> You want to honor me?
• 40:33

  >> That's how you honor.
• 41:14
  >> Barack, cute story,
• 41:17
  bad lesson.
• 41:20
  >> Cuz whether Deborah goes or not, God
• 41:23
  commanded.
• 41:25
  >> And I thank God for Deborah. But I serve
• 41:29
  God.
• 41:32
  [music]
• 41:36
  Well, I've had a ball.
• 41:41
  What you say?
• 41:44
  H.
• 41:47
  Y'all have been the most amazing church.
• 41:51
  When I tell you everybody in the world
• 41:53
  is jealous,
• 41:55
  they are jealous of me. They really are.
• 41:58
  Jerel can tell you they be texting and
• 42:00
  calling.
• 42:02
  They just they just don't understand.
• 42:04
  But we keep it simple.
• 42:07
  >> You love people.
• 42:09
  >> You know my motto. If I can help
• 42:11
  somebody as I travel along, my birthday,
• 42:15
  if I can cheer somebody with a word or a
• 42:18
  song, mahal, if I can show some traveler
• 42:22
  he's traveling wrong, Rubik's, then my
• 42:24
  living [music] is not in vain. I don't
• 42:28
  have to have everybody like me. I got
• 42:30
  God that loves me. I got a family that
• 42:33
  adores me. And I have been privileged to
• 42:37
  lead the best church anywhere.
• 42:42
  Anywhere [music]
• 42:44
  anywhere.
• 42:46
  So Rev, what you say, Doc,
• 42:51
  it's been good. [music] We have served
• 42:55
  is still good. You're right.
• 42:57
  We have served
• 42:59
  and we have uh boy we've walked these
• 43:02
  floors from the apartment till now
• 43:07
  and the way God is now using
• 43:10
  traces like a
• 43:13
  a deliverance anointed
• 43:16
  preaching
• 43:18
  lay you on the floor get you delivered
• 43:20
  transformed missionary
• 43:23
  with Jamaica as the burden of her
• 43:27
  Pastor Hutchkins,
• 43:30
  you've been making all A's, ain't you?
• 43:32
  Rev.
• 43:34
  See, that's people say they trying. What
• 43:36
  does that mean? [laughter]
• 43:38
  Rev's one of them people like Taurus.
• 43:40
  How was your test? That thing was hard,
• 43:43
  man. I just I barely got out of there
• 43:45
  with that 99.
• 43:48
  When I tell you the test was hard, I'm
• 43:51
  thanking God for that 74.
• 43:55
  Hallelujah.
• 43:57
  But Rev, I told him, I said, "The way he
• 43:59
  has the ability to teach and to preach
• 44:04
  the word and has the character and
• 44:07
  demeanor of a prince,
• 44:10
  what God is going to do in the halls of
• 44:12
  academia
• 44:14
  and then the way he's going to join me
• 44:16
  in the Episcopal office and we will
• 44:19
  serve the churches.
• 44:21
  It's incredible. It has been nothing but
• 44:25
  an honor.
• 44:28
  >> And so in the the way uh Ewy would do
• 44:31
  it, he would preach right hard
• 44:35
  and he would say
• 44:38
  [music]
• 44:52
  >> [music]
• 44:57
  [music]
• 45:03
  >> I'm feeling right.
• 45:08
  [music]
• 45:12
  Y'all going to be all right.
• 45:15
  Be [music] all right.
• 45:28
  Let's welcome our next
• 45:29
  [music and singing] generation leaders.

  We're going to do it on Give me this.
• 45:51

• 46:00
  3rd at 11:00 Saturday morning. I want
• 46:03
  every member to be here. Everybody. It's
• 46:05
  going to be so incredible. But even
• 46:08
  until that time, Rev, can you let's do
• 46:10
  it. Let's find our way up these stairs.
• 46:12
  I know it's going to be trace. Be
• 46:13
  careful.
• 46:20
  Yes.
• 46:25
  All right, babe. [music] Come on. You
• 46:26
  might as well come on. Help me cuz
• 46:28

• 46:29
  preacher.
• 46:31
  Come on up here.
• 46:35
  the way [music] we are some kind of
• 46:37
  happy now on that day. And I want you to
• 46:40
  all be here. It's going to be beautiful.
• 46:41
  I know it's hard for for some, but it's
• 46:43
  going to be beautiful. But we'll
• 46:45
  officially lay hands and pour oil and
• 46:48
  all that kind of stuff. Let them start
• 46:50
  the year, the first Sunday, right
• 46:51
  strong. They just start right strong.
• 46:55
  But let me tell y'all something. Jesus
• 46:58
  is the Lord of this work.
• 47:01
  And we want [music] the right kind of
• 47:03
  honor for our leaders, don't we?
• 47:06
  Yeah, we want we want you to follow and
• 47:08
  hear the perspective and hear the truth
• 47:10
  and let God lead, but don't idolize us.
• 47:15
  >> Don't you need us, but not like you
• 47:18
  can't function. We're not lucky charms.
• 47:21
  [music]
• 47:22
  We're not angels, but we are saints cuz
• 47:25
  he washed us in his blood. But I just
• 47:28
  want you to have a minute to take this
• 47:29
  picture. So, let's all [music] smile.
• 47:31
  Pull it together, Chris. Martha, hold on
• 47:33
  now. Hold on now.
• 47:35
  She said, "Wait, wait." Okay. All right.
• 47:49
  So, [music] let's hear from them. And
• 47:52
  our best days. I know it's See, because
• 47:55
  now I get the chance to do [music]
• 47:58
  be the best that I can be. So, I ain't
• 48:00
  going to be gone. I just be in a
• 48:02
  different vein.
• 48:04
  But [music] now the pressure [laughter]
• 48:11
  ain't no sense of lying. This thing
• 48:12
  ain't easy. Y'all know this. You got to
• 48:14
  love the saints. And this is what
• 48:15
  blessed me. Dr. Alicia sent me a [music]
• 48:17
  text this morning and she said, "You
• 48:19
  have loved the saints. Well done." And
• 48:23
  that's all I needed to hear.
• 48:27
  >> All right. Say something to us so we can
• 48:29
  go home.
• 48:30
  >> All [music] right.
• 48:32
  Can we thank God one more time for our
• 48:34
  senior pastor?
• 48:36
  [music]
• 48:38
  Amen.
• 48:41
  I want to encourage us to number one
• 48:44
  share this message on all social media.
• 48:46
  Whatever you have, share it. And then
• 48:48
  make it your business to go back and
• 48:50
  hear it again because I believe God has
• 48:52
  given us what it is that we need as
• 48:54
  [music] we step into this next phase in
• 48:56
  Jesus name.
• 48:59
  She said, "Don't be trying to make me."
• 49:01
  See, I'm crying. Chris, say something.
• 49:03
  One of y'all say something.
• 49:05
  I don't know why you trying to not say.
• 49:07
