but in the body of Christ at large,
00:00:01.220 --> 00:00:02.200
people don't possess this attitude of faith.
00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:07.200
You remember those 12 spies when they all got back?
00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:13.030
Joshua and Caleb came back with a report,
00:00:13.030 --> 00:00:16.100
"Oh we are well able."
00:00:16.100 --> 00:00:18.250
Look at your neighbor and say you're well able.
00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:21.130
- [Audience] You're well able.
00:00:21.130 --> 00:00:22.160
- To overcome in every area.
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:24.030
- [Audience] To overcome in every area.
00:00:24.030 --> 00:00:26.150
Today, on Living by Faith...
00:01:00.250 --> 00:01:02.060
But God, if he's able to deliver you
00:01:09.210 --> 00:01:13.220
from government cheese and government bologna
00:01:13.220 --> 00:01:17.170
where your bologna got a first name!
00:01:17.170 --> 00:01:19.090
Why isn't he capable of taking you into your next dimension?
00:01:19.090 --> 00:01:24.040
Look at them ladies.
00:01:27.080 --> 00:01:27.150
Them ladies on top of their game.
00:01:28.020 --> 00:01:30.060
You got the Shunammite.
00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:33.130
You got this woman who would not let go
00:01:33.150 --> 00:01:36.230
of this unjust judge.
00:01:36.230 --> 00:01:38.060
He said "Because girl you won't leave me alone.
00:01:38.060 --> 00:01:41.180
"I'm doing it because you won't leave me alone.
00:01:41.180 --> 00:01:44.000
"I done told ya no 50 trillion times,
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.070
"but you still in my face."
00:01:47.070 --> 00:01:49.130
Give that girl what she want.
00:01:49.130 --> 00:01:50.290
I don't care how you gonna get what you supposed to get!
00:01:50.290 --> 00:01:54.170
You just go.
00:01:54.170 --> 00:01:56.040
You stand until you see the manifestation.
00:01:56.260 --> 00:02:01.260
Let's go back to this second Kings look at this.
00:02:05.070 --> 00:02:07.190
Too many episodes.
00:02:08.250 --> 00:02:10.130
Pastor Lockheart, he got his call.
00:02:14.150 --> 00:02:18.100
Bishop Coles, he got his call.
00:02:19.130 --> 00:02:22.260
And I'm saying.
00:02:25.190 --> 00:02:27.010
Where is my call?
00:02:30.150 --> 00:02:32.020
Cause I'm waiting for the response,
00:02:33.070 --> 00:02:35.250
back on the offer that we made on last night.
00:02:37.030 --> 00:02:40.060
Spirit of the Lord said,
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.110
he said "You know what?
00:02:44.110 --> 00:02:46.010
"Bishop Coles got his call."
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.040
He said "Pastor Lockheart got his call."
00:02:51.020 --> 00:02:54.120
And I said "And?"
00:02:56.110 --> 00:02:58.010
He said "If the same atmosphere
00:03:01.010 --> 00:03:05.170
"created their calls."
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.030
You just missed what I.
00:03:14.110 --> 00:03:17.250
Are you understanding what I'm saying?
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.140
If you see any sign
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.230
of what has come out of the meeting that you were in,
00:03:26.050 --> 00:03:30.180
you still ain't got it.
00:03:33.030 --> 00:03:34.290
(pastor laughs)
00:03:36.030 --> 00:03:37.190
Don't you know, the Bible says "God is no respected person."
00:03:37.190 --> 00:03:41.280
And if we got any indication
00:03:42.200 --> 00:03:45.190
of something being stirred up
00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:48.130
in the supernatural on last night.
00:03:48.130 --> 00:03:51.100
If anything comes out of it,
00:03:51.100 --> 00:03:53.210
you gotta know we were plugged in!
00:03:53.210 --> 00:03:56.050
And if we were plugged in,
00:03:56.050 --> 00:03:58.160
everybody who was sitting in the atmosphere,
00:03:58.160 --> 00:04:03.140
stuff is already all right!
00:04:03.140 --> 00:04:05.290
You just, you just.
00:04:07.050 --> 00:04:08.280
See, that's what I'm saying.
00:04:09.160 --> 00:04:11.040
That's what I'm saying.
00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:12.140
And you gotta put on this attitude.
00:04:12.140 --> 00:04:15.010
Oh I got mine.
00:04:15.230 --> 00:04:17.070
Where is it?
00:04:18.070 --> 00:04:19.010
Don't worry about it.
00:04:19.010 --> 00:04:20.050
I got mine.
00:04:20.050 --> 00:04:21.240
Wave your head back and shout I got mine!
00:04:22.070 --> 00:04:25.050
- [Audience] I got mine!
00:04:25.050 --> 00:04:26.270
When you gonna get it?!
00:04:26.270 --> 00:04:28.250
Look at verse five.
00:04:36.280 --> 00:04:38.180
Verse five say what?
00:04:39.290 --> 00:04:41.180
Sound like to me they got up.
00:04:43.140 --> 00:04:45.120
When they get up?
00:04:46.200 --> 00:04:47.290
- [Audience] Sunrise.
00:04:47.290 --> 00:04:49.090
To go to where?
00:04:49.090 --> 00:04:51.000
And they had come to the.
00:04:52.100 --> 00:04:55.240
To their surprise my Bible says.
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.020
Hunch your neighbor and say
00:05:04.190 --> 00:05:05.240
there's a surprise waiting on you.
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.010
- [Audience] There's a surprise waiting on you.
00:05:07.010 --> 00:05:08.070
- When you really get in faith.
00:05:08.070 --> 00:05:10.150
What if!
00:05:14.140 --> 00:05:15.200
The thing you prophesied to come to pass?
00:05:17.250 --> 00:05:20.230
If it doesn't come to pass,
00:05:26.230 --> 00:05:28.260
you didn't have it.
00:05:28.260 --> 00:05:30.140
But if it comes to pass.
00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:33.210
What if nothing happens?
00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:36.080
What if it does?
00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:38.110
But you will never know,
00:05:39.270 --> 00:05:41.250
until you walk up to the thing.
00:05:43.060 --> 00:05:45.220
Say you know what?
00:05:46.100 --> 00:05:47.210
My dry days are over
00:05:48.020 --> 00:05:50.270
In this relationship.
00:05:51.020 --> 00:05:53.000
Are you hearing what I'm telling you?
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.150
There's some weight in my walk tonight Brelyn.
00:06:02.070 --> 00:06:04.220
I'm telling we've officially entered
00:06:05.030 --> 00:06:07.100
into the next dimension.
00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:10.010
And everybody who happened to be in the meeting.
00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:14.250
You hearing what I'm telling you?
00:06:14.250 --> 00:06:16.140
I don't care how it looks.
00:06:16.140 --> 00:06:19.070
"I don't feel any different.
00:06:19.070 --> 00:06:21.010
"It doesn't seem like nothing changed."
00:06:21.010 --> 00:06:23.060
You start walking like next dimension believer!
00:06:23.060 --> 00:06:27.060
Go to the car lot and say
00:06:30.130 --> 00:06:32.030
the Lord said you gonna get me a ride today
00:06:32.030 --> 00:06:34.250
just see what happens!
00:06:34.250 --> 00:06:37.160
What, what if they call you crazy?!
00:06:38.130 --> 00:06:40.230
So what, you're still walking!
00:06:40.230 --> 00:06:43.180
Do something stupid!
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:51.070
What if.
00:06:58.150 --> 00:07:00.040
And you gotta, you gotta maintain this thing.
00:07:05.190 --> 00:07:09.290
Number one by staying in the company
00:07:10.290 --> 00:07:13.030
of people who talk in the same way.
00:07:13.030 --> 00:07:15.240
I learned a long time ago,
00:07:16.210 --> 00:07:19.180
if you are ever gonna walk with God,
00:07:19.180 --> 00:07:22.010
you're gonna have to talk like God.
00:07:22.010 --> 00:07:24.200
To their surprise, look it here.
00:07:25.210 --> 00:07:28.240
No one was there.
00:07:32.190 --> 00:07:34.150
(pastor laughs)
00:07:35.190 --> 00:07:37.180
The boy's sitting on the sideline wondering
00:07:38.280 --> 00:07:41.190
"What we gonna do, what you gonna do?"
00:07:41.190 --> 00:07:43.240
You ever been around a bunch of people.
00:07:45.290 --> 00:07:48.180
"What you gonna do, you going?
00:07:48.180 --> 00:07:50.270
"I go if you go.
00:07:51.200 --> 00:07:53.020
"I don't know if I'm gonna go.
00:07:54.090 --> 00:07:56.010
"You think it'd be all right if we go?
00:07:56.010 --> 00:07:58.050
"If you go with me I'll go.
00:07:58.050 --> 00:07:59.240
"No I don't think I'm going.
00:08:01.050 --> 00:08:02.120
"Well I ain't gonna go if you not going."
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.040
You see what I'm saying?
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:05.090
Going through that over and over again.
00:08:05.090 --> 00:08:07.080
Pastors getting together, "How your church doing?
00:08:08.010 --> 00:08:10.280
"Your church feeling the hit?"
00:08:10.280 --> 00:08:12.230
You know what, you get up and excuse yourself
00:08:14.200 --> 00:08:17.100
out of them conversation.
00:08:17.100 --> 00:08:19.030
I'm getting away from y'all right now.
00:08:19.030 --> 00:08:20.250
You may not like me then.
00:08:20.250 --> 00:08:22.100
And people gonna accuse you of being conceited and uppity.
00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:26.120
You understand?
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:27.090
I don't care what they say!
00:08:27.090 --> 00:08:29.020
I don't care what they call me!
00:08:29.020 --> 00:08:30.240
I guarantee you one thing,
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:32.000
they gonna call me when they need something!
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.250
And I got Pastors all over this country,
00:08:40.180 --> 00:08:42.210
talking about me, scattering, running from me.
00:08:42.210 --> 00:08:45.280
"I ain't fooling with that Mike Freeman."
00:08:45.280 --> 00:08:47.190
Who cares!
00:08:47.190 --> 00:08:49.190
I love ya, I'll be here for you.
00:08:51.050 --> 00:08:54.130
But you're not the one who has made me
00:08:54.270 --> 00:08:59.060
and you're not the one who can break me.
00:08:59.060 --> 00:09:01.270
Are you understanding what I'm telling you?!
00:09:01.270 --> 00:09:04.000
You gotta start standing like
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.160
if nobody stands with me bless God
00:09:06.160 --> 00:09:10.060
I'm equipped all by myself with the King of Kings
00:09:10.060 --> 00:09:15.010
and the Lord of Lords to do what I gotta do!
00:09:15.010 --> 00:09:19.000
Now if you need it you gonna have to always
00:09:20.180 --> 00:09:22.210
cater to what people say.
00:09:22.210 --> 00:09:25.040
Now I'm not telling you to just put people down.
00:09:26.140 --> 00:09:30.230
But if somebody doesn't want to be around you,
00:09:32.170 --> 00:09:35.060
it is their loss!
00:09:35.060 --> 00:09:37.100
You ain't gotta heaven nor a hell to put me in!
00:09:41.230 --> 00:09:45.260
Shoot I feel like rocking my neck when I'm talking tonight.
00:09:46.280 --> 00:09:50.100
You know what I'm saying?
00:09:52.210 --> 00:09:54.120
Some of y'all tolerate far to much!
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:57.290
Go and leave!
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:04.200
(pastor laughs)
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:06.060
Some of y'all just get, you know what
00:10:06.060 --> 00:10:07.170
I didn't want to offend you so I mean
00:10:07.170 --> 00:10:09.100
everything gonna be all right.
00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:10.220
I have to fix it and then they gonna calm down.
00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:12.120
You trying to manage a problem.
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:15.070
Instead of declaring a solution.
00:10:16.100 --> 00:10:19.040
Go on about your business and bless God.
00:10:21.050 --> 00:10:23.280
I was blessed before you came
00:10:23.280 --> 00:10:26.030
and I'll be blessed after you leave!
00:10:26.030 --> 00:10:29.140
Y'all ain't ready for this.
00:10:29.270 --> 00:10:32.120
Cause you gotta pacify people.
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:35.030
You gotta just, "I want you to just stick around."
00:10:35.030 --> 00:10:38.290
Cause you're looking at him as your source!
00:10:38.290 --> 00:10:41.180
They represent a certain amount of income for you!
00:10:41.180 --> 00:10:44.120
And you don't believe that God can raise up
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.290
one man to finance your whole vision!
00:10:46.290 --> 00:10:50.250
Don't nobody like a punk Pastor!
00:10:56.140 --> 00:10:59.120
I feel a praise break shout!
00:11:00.050 --> 00:11:02.270
(audience cheering)
00:11:02.270 --> 00:11:05.260
People admire boldness.
00:11:14.050 --> 00:11:16.140
Even if you fall flat on your face.
00:11:16.250 --> 00:11:19.070
People say "Shh, he fell on that face.
00:11:19.070 --> 00:11:21.180
"But he tried something most people will never try!
00:11:21.180 --> 00:11:24.200
"That boy crazy.
00:11:28.260 --> 00:11:29.260
"That boy will try anything!"
00:11:29.260 --> 00:11:31.260
Failure is just another teacher of life.
00:11:33.030 --> 00:11:36.100
And I found out the best way
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:42.100
to predict my future is by creating it.
00:11:42.100 --> 00:11:45.090
Are you understand what I'm saying?
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:50.030
To their surprise, it's gonna be to your surprise.
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:55.130
When you get back in the game.
00:11:55.130 --> 00:11:58.080
Now let me help you with something.
00:11:58.080 --> 00:11:59.120
Let me jump ahead of this.
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.120
Let me help you with something.
00:12:08.190 --> 00:12:10.160
The way you maintain this attitude
00:12:10.160 --> 00:12:13.110
is by praying in the holy spirit.
00:12:13.110 --> 00:12:16.150
Y'all ain't praying in the holy spirit tonight.
00:12:18.100 --> 00:12:21.020
The church has dropped off her comforter.
00:12:21.140 --> 00:12:25.140
You understand?
00:12:25.270 --> 00:12:27.020
He said "I want you to go to Jerusalem
00:12:27.020 --> 00:12:29.070
"and I want you to wait there.
00:12:29.070 --> 00:12:31.050
"Because I've got another comforter,
00:12:31.050 --> 00:12:33.070
"one just like me who's gonna come up on you.
00:12:33.070 --> 00:12:36.280
"And he will lead and guide you into all truth."
00:12:36.280 --> 00:12:40.290
And see you haven't been praying in the holy spirit.
00:12:40.290 --> 00:12:44.050
That thing that charges you up
00:12:44.050 --> 00:12:47.010
in your most holy faith.
00:12:47.010 --> 00:12:49.220
(pastor speaking foreign language)
00:12:49.220 --> 00:12:54.170
When nobody else is around,
00:12:55.010 --> 00:12:56.260
(pastor speaking foreign language)
00:12:56.260 --> 00:13:00.240
Stir something up!
00:13:06.170 --> 00:13:08.060
Turn to your neighbor and say
00:13:10.030 --> 00:13:11.090
stir something up!
00:13:11.090 --> 00:13:12.150
- [Audience] Stir something up!
00:13:12.150 --> 00:13:14.110
Push that person in front of you,
00:13:15.290 --> 00:13:18.000
say do something bless God!
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.060
- [Audience] Do something bless God!
00:13:20.060 --> 00:13:22.230
Now turn around and say I'm gonna do something
00:13:25.130 --> 00:13:27.070
but you better not put your hand!
00:13:27.070 --> 00:13:29.100
While I'm driving my car.
00:13:37.290 --> 00:13:39.290
(pastor speaking foreign language)
00:13:39.290 --> 00:13:44.160
I'm unfolding and revealing mysteries in my spirit.
00:13:50.130 --> 00:13:55.110
My soul is on download
00:13:55.110 --> 00:13:58.170
so he's imparting into me
00:13:58.170 --> 00:14:00.240
things that I can decree that most people
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.160
won't even think about.
00:14:03.160 --> 00:14:05.030
Because he is a God who's capable
00:14:05.030 --> 00:14:07.190
of doing exceedingly, abundantly, above!
00:14:07.190 --> 00:14:11.190
Now if you can't ask or think it,
00:14:12.020 --> 00:14:14.080
how you gonna receive it?
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:16.110
You're praying the Holy Ghost,
00:14:16.110 --> 00:14:18.200
who knows all things.
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.270
That's why when you get stuff sometime,
00:14:24.150 --> 00:14:26.190
you say, "Man, this was more than I was expecting."
00:14:26.190 --> 00:14:30.170
You know why?
00:14:35.040 --> 00:14:36.140
Cause you received.
00:14:37.040 --> 00:14:38.290
Okay, okay I just heard that.
00:14:38.290 --> 00:14:41.250
Come on lift your hands.
00:14:41.250 --> 00:14:43.120
Pray in the Holy Ghost now.
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.270
Charge it up!
00:14:45.270 --> 00:14:47.170
Go ahead, charge it!
00:14:48.020 --> 00:14:49.200
Charge it up!
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:51.100
(pastor speaking foreign language)
00:14:51.100 --> 00:14:52.170
Go ahead!
00:14:52.170 --> 00:14:53.240
Go ahead!
00:14:54.020 --> 00:14:55.080
I told ya, this is a believer's meeting.
00:14:56.100 --> 00:14:59.100
You taking care family members.
00:15:00.060 --> 00:15:02.110
You taking care of promotions!
00:15:03.110 --> 00:15:06.080
You taking care of increase!
00:15:07.250 --> 00:15:10.070
Come on and it overflows!
00:15:12.180 --> 00:15:14.230
Come on charge!
00:15:19.110 --> 00:15:21.020
Charge yourself!
00:15:21.060 --> 00:15:22.250
Depression you're out of here tonight!
00:15:27.060 --> 00:15:29.230
Okay, okay, now shout this!
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.230
I receive that!
00:15:34.230 --> 00:15:36.020
- [Audience] I receive that!
00:15:36.020 --> 00:15:37.260
- You missed it.
00:15:44.020 --> 00:15:45.050
You just missed it.
00:15:45.050 --> 00:15:46.240
I said shout I receive that!
00:15:48.170 --> 00:15:50.290
- [Audience] I receive that!
00:15:50.290 --> 00:15:53.050
What did you receive?
00:15:59.180 --> 00:16:01.160
You have no clue.
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:03.230
And we know!
00:16:05.010 --> 00:16:06.170
We ain't thinking about this one.
00:16:07.270 --> 00:16:09.170
That all things work together for the good.
00:16:09.170 --> 00:16:14.120
That's what the Bible is talking about.
00:16:17.250 --> 00:16:19.120
When you're praying in the Holy Ghost.
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.020
For we don't know what we should pray as we ought.
00:16:21.020 --> 00:16:24.240
What if Sheryl,
00:16:30.230 --> 00:16:32.160
you dress up like you gonna meet a man tomorrow?
00:16:33.250 --> 00:16:38.250
(pastor laughs)
00:16:43.010 --> 00:16:45.030
See, some of y'all ain't ready for this tonight.
00:16:45.030 --> 00:16:47.160
You gonna have to act like it is so.
00:16:48.170 --> 00:16:51.140
So tomorrow when I wake up,
00:16:54.030 --> 00:16:56.220
I'm gonna dress like I'm about to
00:16:56.220 --> 00:16:59.130
meet somebody who gonna finance my future.
00:16:59.130 --> 00:17:02.280
See you got the same old attitude going to work.
00:17:11.080 --> 00:17:13.220
"Here I go, let's go let's go work, let's go work.
00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:15.130
"Get in the car, go to work!
00:17:15.130 --> 00:17:17.260
"Bob move, get out the way bless God.
00:17:18.250 --> 00:17:20.180
"You the same person I had to cuss out yesterday."
00:17:20.180 --> 00:17:23.030
You understand.
00:17:23.030 --> 00:17:24.190
Instead of driving to work on the subway,
00:17:27.220 --> 00:17:30.180
(pastor speaking foreign language)
00:17:30.180 --> 00:17:34.170
While you're putting on your garments
00:17:34.170 --> 00:17:36.050
and you're ready to go out.
00:17:36.050 --> 00:17:37.270
(pastor speaking foreign language)
00:17:37.270 --> 00:17:41.260
Amen.
00:17:41.260 --> 00:17:43.030
That's how you gonna keep this atmosphere.
00:17:44.210 --> 00:17:46.280
That's how you gonna keep this attitude.
00:17:46.280 --> 00:17:49.090
Oh come on man, cause some of y'all.
00:17:49.090 --> 00:17:52.060
"Man listen, if it wasn't for bad luck
00:17:52.060 --> 00:17:54.140
"I wouldn't have any luck at all."
00:17:54.140 --> 00:17:57.000
And you don't get excited until you see
00:17:58.250 --> 00:18:02.100
the manifestation of something.
00:18:02.100 --> 00:18:04.210
Oh praise God!
00:18:04.210 --> 00:18:06.260
Oh thank you Jesus!
00:18:06.260 --> 00:18:08.240
Never would of made it!
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.070
How in the heck you gonna sing Never Would Have Made It?
00:18:19.100 --> 00:18:23.200
I'm telling you, I'm talking about
00:18:24.150 --> 00:18:26.230
long before the manifestation.
00:18:26.230 --> 00:18:29.230
He who has already made a way,
00:18:33.120 --> 00:18:36.230
is sitting at the right hand of the Father
00:18:38.050 --> 00:18:41.190
making intercession on your behalf.
00:18:41.190 --> 00:18:44.190
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:18:44.190 --> 00:18:46.040
Do you know what is at work on your behalf?!
00:18:46.040 --> 00:18:49.220
Oh I'm stirring you up here tonight.
00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:53.210
You know my job when the family got together.
00:18:54.040 --> 00:18:56.040
My job was to fix the Kool-aid.
00:18:56.040 --> 00:18:58.220
Come on.
00:19:00.020 --> 00:19:01.120
I know you got your money right now.
00:19:01.120 --> 00:19:03.200
But you are not that far removed from Kool-aid.
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.080
Hunch your neighbor and say
00:19:07.270 --> 00:19:08.240
you know what Kool-aid is.
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:10.010
- [Audience] You know what Kool-aid is.
00:19:10.010 --> 00:19:11.160
- I remember when your bologna didn't have a first name.
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:14.200
Now your bologna got a first name
00:19:19.110 --> 00:19:21.070
and you think you all that.
00:19:21.070 --> 00:19:23.120
Turn to your neighbor and say
00:19:25.060 --> 00:19:26.120
he ain't ever lie, he ain't ever.
00:19:26.120 --> 00:19:27.270
- [Audience] He ain't ever lie.
00:19:27.270 --> 00:19:29.020
- Look at your neighbor and say
00:19:29.020 --> 00:19:30.100
my bologna sure enough got a first name now.
00:19:30.100 --> 00:19:32.090
It used to be spelled government but now.
00:19:32.090 --> 00:19:35.270
That government bologna didn't come with slices.
00:19:42.260 --> 00:19:45.250
You had to whole loaf of bologna you understand?
00:19:49.030 --> 00:19:53.080
And you had to cut it according to portions.
00:19:53.130 --> 00:19:56.170
What size you want?
00:19:57.060 --> 00:19:58.190
Big ole piece of bologna in your bread just like.
00:19:58.190 --> 00:20:02.080
Come on, y'all!
00:20:02.080 --> 00:20:03.050
You know what I'm saying.
00:20:03.050 --> 00:20:04.290
Are you listening to me?!
00:20:04.290 --> 00:20:06.240
Crack open a can of Spam.
00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:12.210
But God, if he's able to deliver you
00:20:20.110 --> 00:20:24.120
from government cheese and government bologna
00:20:24.120 --> 00:20:28.070
where your bologna got a first name!
00:20:28.070 --> 00:20:29.290
Why isn't he capable of taking you into your next dimension?
00:20:29.290 --> 00:20:34.240
Shout I got a new attitude.
00:20:41.090 --> 00:20:43.020
- [Audience] I got a new attitude!
00:20:43.020 --> 00:20:45.060
- Push somebody and say
00:20:45.060 --> 00:20:46.110
I ain't leaving out here the same way.
00:20:46.110 --> 00:20:48.020
- [Audience] I ain't leaving out here the same way.
00:20:48.020 --> 00:20:50.050
- Say you can stay broke all you want to,
00:20:50.050 --> 00:20:52.030
I ain't staying broke.
00:20:52.030 --> 00:20:53.280
- [Audience] You can stay broke all you want to,
00:20:53.280 --> 00:20:55.180
I ain't staying broke.
00:20:55.180 --> 00:20:56.270
- You spirit of unforgiveness, get off of him!
00:20:56.270 --> 00:21:00.110
They've been bound too long!
00:21:01.050 --> 00:21:03.190
They letting the whole thing go!
00:21:03.190 --> 00:21:05.140
They gonna walk foot loose and fancy free tonight!
00:21:05.140 --> 00:21:09.070
And boy I would crack open packs of Kool-aid.
00:21:16.040 --> 00:21:19.190
And you know we didn't have all the same flavors.
00:21:20.210 --> 00:21:23.200
So the strawberry, the grape, the orange,
00:21:26.010 --> 00:21:28.170
the raspberry, all of it going in there.
00:21:28.170 --> 00:21:31.130
And you know the Kool-aid wasn't cool
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:34.030
unless it had a lot of aid.
00:21:34.030 --> 00:21:36.160
What was the aid?
00:21:37.050 --> 00:21:38.180
That sugar.
00:21:38.180 --> 00:21:39.240
Some of y'all paying for that right now.
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:42.060
And we didn't have measuring tools or utensil.
00:21:44.050 --> 00:21:48.140
So we just took the bag.
00:21:48.140 --> 00:21:50.270
I wish you were that liberal with your attitude.
00:21:54.290 --> 00:21:58.070
And your confession, you just poor it on Glory to God.
00:21:58.070 --> 00:22:02.080
Back in the day when you had a whole lot of people over
00:22:05.150 --> 00:22:07.070
to your house you couldn't use the regular pitcher.
00:22:07.070 --> 00:22:10.230
You had to pull out the collard green pot.
00:22:10.230 --> 00:22:13.050
That thing with two handles is about this deep.
00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:17.060
Roll up that sleeve.
00:22:19.280 --> 00:22:21.200
Cause you ain't have spoons long enough
00:22:22.290 --> 00:22:24.100
to get to the bottom.
00:22:24.100 --> 00:22:25.210
Somebody know what I'm talking about.
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:28.290
Stir that Kool-aid up.
00:22:32.120 --> 00:22:34.160
And then watch this.
00:22:35.080 --> 00:22:36.260
I found out who the real Kool-aid makers are.
00:22:36.260 --> 00:22:39.170
Did you taste?
00:22:40.070 --> 00:22:42.030
You got.
00:22:45.020 --> 00:22:46.060
And what you do, you put it.
00:22:47.010 --> 00:22:49.010
Ain't had no integrity cause you act like you washed
00:23:00.060 --> 00:23:02.160
off the spoon when somebody come around.
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:05.170
Why'd you stir it up?
00:23:13.100 --> 00:23:15.060
Because you had to agitate
00:23:15.260 --> 00:23:18.040
that aid that was poured into the Kool-aid.
00:23:19.090 --> 00:23:22.150
So that the entire content
00:23:23.020 --> 00:23:25.060
of that collard green pot would be sweet.
00:23:25.060 --> 00:23:28.110
Without stirring it it would stay to the bottom.
00:23:28.290 --> 00:23:31.210
You will never know that the stuff was already
00:23:31.210 --> 00:23:34.160
in there until you get almost to the bottom of it.
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:38.130
And unfortunately, that's what's going on
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:44.240
with the believers life.
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:46.220
God has already poured into you.
00:23:47.110 --> 00:23:50.230
Everything that pertaineth to life in Godliness!
00:23:52.110 --> 00:23:57.100
The good life.
00:23:58.010 --> 00:23:59.210
The abundant life!
00:24:00.100 --> 00:24:02.000
Peace, joy, longs!
00:24:02.110 --> 00:24:06.110
I'm preaching boy!
00:24:06.110 --> 00:24:08.050
All the money and wisdom that you ever need.
00:24:12.280 --> 00:24:16.200
The ability to get wealth.
00:24:17.050 --> 00:24:19.100
And he told me he said this,
00:24:21.150 --> 00:24:23.080
"Son there are a lot of believers.
00:24:23.080 --> 00:24:26.010
"Just like unstirred Kool-aid.
00:24:26.010 --> 00:24:28.230
"They gonna wait til they get to almost
00:24:30.010 --> 00:24:32.110
"the end of their life and realize
00:24:32.110 --> 00:24:35.100
"they could've had a sweet life all the way through.
00:24:35.100 --> 00:24:38.260
"All they needed son was somebody to."
00:24:38.260 --> 00:24:42.100
Look at your neighbor and say
00:24:45.080 --> 00:24:46.120
pastor here to stir you up tonight.
00:24:46.120 --> 00:24:48.000
- [Audience] Pastor here to stir you up tonight.
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:50.010
- What happened to your dream?!
00:24:50.010 --> 00:24:52.010
What happened to your vision?!
00:24:52.010 --> 00:24:54.120
Pastors who are sitting here.
00:25:00.050 --> 00:25:01.270
You used to talk about a new facility.
00:25:03.080 --> 00:25:06.200
You know you know.
00:25:07.050 --> 00:25:08.220
You just ain't talking like you used to.
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.190
Turn to your neighbor and say
00:25:14.130 --> 00:25:15.230
I'm getting back to talking like God.
00:25:15.230 --> 00:25:18.150
- [Audience] I'm getting back to talking like God.
00:25:18.150 --> 00:25:21.170
- Come on, let's get back to the word.
00:25:24.130 --> 00:25:25.180
Let's look at this.
00:25:25.180 --> 00:25:26.230
Where are we, verse six?
00:25:28.050 --> 00:25:29.280
Verse five, let's back up.
00:25:34.110 --> 00:25:35.210
Ready read.
00:25:35.210 --> 00:25:37.020
Uh huh.
00:25:38.230 --> 00:25:40.000
Now how did they go to the camp of Syrian?
00:25:41.060 --> 00:25:44.250
What happened to cause that?
00:25:44.250 --> 00:25:47.020
They decided,
00:25:47.020 --> 00:25:48.110
that if we stay out of the game,
00:25:49.260 --> 00:25:52.050
we gonna die.
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:54.090
But if we get in the game,
00:25:54.130 --> 00:25:56.200
and we die so what?
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:58.040
We still dead.
00:25:58.040 --> 00:25:59.140

- Time is so vitally important to all of our lives
00:26:22.120 --> 00:26:24.190
and I'm learning, more and more, how to value time.
00:26:24.190 --> 00:26:29.030
When you give someone your time
00:26:29.030 --> 00:26:31.000
you've given them literally a portion of your life.
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:34.290
And time is something you can't get back.
00:26:34.290 --> 00:26:37.090
So, you must value and, as you value time,
00:26:37.090 --> 00:26:40.290
you will find out that you can get more done
00:26:40.290 --> 00:26:45.260
within a frame of time,
00:26:45.260 --> 00:26:49.050
because there's a specific value
00:26:49.050 --> 00:26:51.130
that you hold dear to you.
00:26:51.130 --> 00:26:53.250
You just can't get it back.
00:26:53.250 --> 00:26:55.150
You can get money back,
00:26:55.150 --> 00:26:56.120
you can get things back,
00:26:56.120 --> 00:26:58.060
but you can never get time back.
00:26:58.060 --> 00:27:00.070

00:27:30.210 --> 00:27:33.210
