- The faith is going to grab hold --
- 00:00:01.290 --> 00:00:03.060
- - Come on, come on.
- 00:00:03.060 --> 00:00:04.190
- - And is going to connect and going to be healed.
- 00:00:04.190 --> 00:00:06.230
- This was just a pivot in the turn of a ministry.
- 00:00:06.230 --> 00:00:11.230
- When I came here, I saw,
- 00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:13.280
- "The Year of Realized Dream."
- 00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:15.080
- How apropos.
- 00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:17.030
- How apropos.
- 00:00:17.030 --> 00:00:18.130
- And your ministry of faith,
- 00:00:18.130 --> 00:00:21.190
- you are an example and you are the first fruit
- 00:00:21.190 --> 00:00:24.110
- of this ministry.
- 00:00:24.110 --> 00:00:25.120
- - [Congregation] Yeah!
- 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:26.150
- Today, on Living by Faith...
- 00:01:00.250 --> 00:01:02.060
- And I said, "On who's chart?"
- 00:01:02.060 --> 00:01:02.210
- I mean, there was a righteous indignation...
- 00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:05.020
- How can you be depressed and a Christian?
- 00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:07.280
- Now, don't get into condemnation, because if you are now
- 00:01:11.030 --> 00:01:14.250
- popping antidepressant medication, you do what you gotta do.
- 00:01:14.250 --> 00:01:18.250
- But you stick around here, you're gonna
- 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:20.190
- be off that medication by the end of this year.
- 00:01:20.190 --> 00:01:23.230
- (audience clapping)
- 00:01:23.290 --> 00:01:24.140
- My wife is not that old.
- 00:01:27.080 --> 00:01:27.110
- Y'all look like, "Expect a what?"
- 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.220
- (laughs)
- 00:01:29.220 --> 00:01:32.110
- Oh, Jesus.
- 00:01:36.140 --> 00:01:38.140
- That was hilarious.
- 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:41.220
- One of my doctors that you met on yesterday,
- 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.190
- that's why we're running late.
- 00:01:47.190 --> 00:01:49.200
- Things.
- 00:01:49.220 --> 00:01:50.290
- Man, people showed up at the 8 o'clock service.
- 00:01:50.290 --> 00:01:53.090
- It was just a good time, man.
- 00:01:53.090 --> 00:01:55.220
- This man flat right out preached this morning.
- 00:01:56.130 --> 00:01:59.020
- Lord Jesus.
- 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.010
- And then when I began to speak about this
- 00:02:04.100 --> 00:02:08.260
- announcement this morning, I noticed that
- 00:02:09.170 --> 00:02:14.090
- the apparent resistance that I felt
- 00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:19.160
- or assumed that I have felt on yesterday,
- 00:02:20.100 --> 00:02:24.270
- I didn't feel it at all this morning at the 8 AM service.
- 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.290
- And maybe that's just because everyone didn't come.
- 00:02:32.140 --> 00:02:35.000
- I don't know.
- 00:02:35.020 --> 00:02:36.240
- But prayerfully, it's getting progressively better
- 00:02:38.010 --> 00:02:42.070
- as I have to make this announcement
- 00:02:42.070 --> 00:02:45.060
- throughout every service today.
- 00:02:45.060 --> 00:02:47.200
- And this announcement is going to help
- 00:02:50.180 --> 00:02:54.250
- define for you whether or not
- 00:02:54.250 --> 00:02:58.030
- you're a real partner of this church.
- 00:02:58.030 --> 00:03:00.220
- And it's nothing bad.
- 00:03:04.090 --> 00:03:06.010
- But it's something that I need
- 00:03:06.190 --> 00:03:08.150
- your participation and cooperation in.
- 00:03:08.150 --> 00:03:12.070
- How many of y'all know I'm believing
- 00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:17.190
- God for one facility?
- 00:03:17.190 --> 00:03:20.130
- You know that.
- 00:03:21.160 --> 00:03:23.070
- Okay.
- 00:03:23.180 --> 00:03:25.010
- I want to be one church in one location.
- 00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:27.060
- I'm still assigned to Woodbridge, and I know that.
- 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.140
- But I need to secure this one facility.
- 00:03:35.250 --> 00:03:40.100
- So you're going to potentially begin to hear
- 00:03:42.020 --> 00:03:47.020
- that these locations are for sale.
- 00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:50.130
- You're going to hear that.
- 00:03:51.170 --> 00:03:53.140
- Possibly.
- 00:03:53.140 --> 00:03:54.260
- However, I don't know where we're going.
- 00:03:57.090 --> 00:04:00.210
- So I'm putting them up for sale,
- 00:04:02.130 --> 00:04:04.280
- but I don't have a place to go.
- 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.010
- (audience murmuring)
- 00:04:07.250 --> 00:04:10.160
- Okay, okay, okay.
- 00:04:10.160 --> 00:04:12.150
- Okay, it's getting better in here.
- 00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:14.210
- For some of y'all.
- 00:04:15.100 --> 00:04:16.170
- Some of y'all looking like, "Where we going?"
- 00:04:16.170 --> 00:04:18.020
- (laughs)
- 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.090
- I don't know.
- 00:04:20.090 --> 00:04:22.010
- The Lord just told me to prepare to move.
- 00:04:23.260 --> 00:04:26.280
- (audience claps and cheers)
- 00:04:27.110 --> 00:04:31.220
- Wow.
- 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:38.130
- I receive.
- 00:04:39.010 --> 00:04:40.200
- Oh wow.
- 00:04:43.080 --> 00:04:44.150
- You guys don't know how you're making me feel.
- 00:04:44.150 --> 00:04:46.160
- Because I made this same move
- 00:04:47.090 --> 00:04:50.110
- and announcement at Anakassi High School.
- 00:04:50.200 --> 00:04:53.270
- And people showed me their displeasure
- 00:04:54.110 --> 00:04:57.240
- with what I was doing with their feet.
- 00:04:57.260 --> 00:05:02.060
- They left.
- 00:05:03.290 --> 00:05:05.090
- They thought that I was a little to aggressive.
- 00:05:05.220 --> 00:05:08.270
- And some said, "Pastor just need to crawl before we walk."
- 00:05:09.140 --> 00:05:14.140
- And actually, in some cultures, that is an insult.
- 00:05:15.190 --> 00:05:19.180
- 'Cause they don't put their babies on the floor.
- 00:05:20.150 --> 00:05:22.260
- And their babies never crawl.
- 00:05:24.190 --> 00:05:26.090
- Their babies start walking.
- 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.150
- This just happens to be a church
- 00:05:29.170 --> 00:05:30.210
- where we just start walking.
- 00:05:30.210 --> 00:05:32.150
- (audience claps and cheers)
- 00:05:32.150 --> 00:05:36.010
- Everybody should go to this church!
- 00:05:36.010 --> 00:05:38.020
- Everybody should go to this church.
- 00:05:39.050 --> 00:05:41.090
- I mean...
- 00:05:41.190 --> 00:05:43.040
- Whoo!
- 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:44.230
- Y'all make me feel...
- 00:05:44.230 --> 00:05:45.270
- And Leo, I receive that word that
- 00:05:45.270 --> 00:05:47.290
- you sent me on yesterday.
- 00:05:47.290 --> 00:05:49.150
- Matter of fact, I read it.
- 00:05:49.150 --> 00:05:51.080
- Give me my phone.
- 00:05:51.080 --> 00:05:52.280
- Find my phone.
- 00:05:52.280 --> 00:05:54.260
- So I don't know where we're going.
- 00:05:54.290 --> 00:05:57.000
- But we have multi-million dollar properties.
- 00:05:58.270 --> 00:06:02.030
- And I know God is up to something real big.
- 00:06:04.150 --> 00:06:09.090
- But here's what you need to hear
- 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:12.250
- in addition to what I just said.
- 00:06:12.250 --> 00:06:15.070
- You personally need to prepare to move.
- 00:06:17.070 --> 00:06:21.200
- (audience claps and cheers)
- 00:06:22.090 --> 00:06:26.130
- Receive that.
- 00:06:26.130 --> 00:06:28.030
- Whatever that is.
- 00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:32.110
- Your house.
- 00:06:32.110 --> 00:06:33.290
- Some of you single ladies.
- 00:06:33.290 --> 00:06:35.260
- I'm just telling you.
- 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.020
- I'm telling you this is the year to realize dreams.
- 00:06:39.140 --> 00:06:41.270
- I have been confessing for years
- 00:06:43.030 --> 00:06:45.160
- that you're gonna live in houses
- 00:06:46.140 --> 00:06:48.170
- that you will not have to pay for.
- 00:06:48.170 --> 00:06:50.200
- (audience claps and cheers)
- 00:06:51.080 --> 00:06:55.090
- Now a lot of this is contingent
- 00:06:57.020 --> 00:06:58.200
- upon how you choose to believe your God.
- 00:06:58.200 --> 00:07:01.170
- And trust is going to be a big factor
- 00:07:02.220 --> 00:07:04.220
- in all of what we are confessing.
- 00:07:04.220 --> 00:07:06.260
- Trust God.
- 00:07:07.140 --> 00:07:08.100
- Say, "I trust God."
- 00:07:08.100 --> 00:07:09.090
- - [Audience] I trust God.
- 00:07:09.090 --> 00:07:10.040
- - Say, "I love."
- 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:11.020
- - [Audience] I love.
- 00:07:11.020 --> 00:07:12.040
- - Say, "I love."
- 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:12.280
- - [Audience] I love.
- 00:07:12.280 --> 00:07:13.200
- - And trust.
- 00:07:13.200 --> 00:07:14.150
- - [Audience] And trust.
- 00:07:14.150 --> 00:07:15.110
- - God.
- 00:07:15.110 --> 00:07:16.110
- - [Audience] God.
- 00:07:16.110 --> 00:07:18.020
- - I made this comment on last week
- 00:07:19.230 --> 00:07:22.250
- in our time of being with one another
- 00:07:23.100 --> 00:07:26.060
- that the tithe is in part the reason
- 00:07:26.210 --> 00:07:30.140
- why I'm alive today.
- 00:07:30.140 --> 00:07:32.180
- And a lot of people really didn't get
- 00:07:34.140 --> 00:07:36.290
- and comprehend what I was trying to share and minister.
- 00:07:37.070 --> 00:07:42.070
- But the tithe has given me a practice of trusting God
- 00:07:44.110 --> 00:07:49.110
- because the tithes really have had,
- 00:07:50.290 --> 00:07:54.170
- from the beginning, nothing to do with money.
- 00:07:54.190 --> 00:07:59.010
- You hear what I'm saying, brother Ron?
- 00:08:02.050 --> 00:08:04.150
- What was that you said?
- 00:08:04.170 --> 00:08:05.200
- And the consistency of tithing has
- 00:08:05.200 --> 00:08:10.100
- allowed me to know that I trust him.
- 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.280
- And the Lord told me.
- 00:08:17.090 --> 00:08:18.140
- He said, "It would have been difficult
- 00:08:18.140 --> 00:08:20.250
- "for you to trust me for your life
- 00:08:20.250 --> 00:08:23.190
- "when you couldn't trust me with
- 00:08:23.190 --> 00:08:25.140
- "a dime out of every dollar."
- 00:08:25.140 --> 00:08:27.200
- God is so awesome, isn't he?
- 00:08:31.290 --> 00:08:33.230
- So this what Leo said to me.
- 00:08:34.280 --> 00:08:36.240
- That's why I have my number blocked these days.
- 00:08:37.160 --> 00:08:39.260
- 'Cause before I called people and they see
- 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.150
- it's my number, then they store it away.
- 00:08:43.150 --> 00:08:45.220
- And then they think they can text me anytime they...
- 00:08:45.220 --> 00:08:48.040
- (audience laughs)
- 00:08:48.040 --> 00:08:51.210
- "Sir," he said.
- 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.040
- "As I was in prayer today I received
- 00:08:54.040 --> 00:08:55.210
- "this revelation of your life mimicking
- 00:08:55.210 --> 00:08:58.150
- "the life and faith of Jesus.
- 00:08:58.150 --> 00:09:01.000
- "The enemy thought he...
- 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.160
- "The enemy thought you were defeated.
- 00:09:04.040 --> 00:09:06.100
- "You've been raised up by God and restored
- 00:09:06.160 --> 00:09:10.080
- "to give hope on a level that you've not yet touched.
- 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:14.030
- "And that this ministry has not yet touched.
- 00:09:15.220 --> 00:09:19.060
- "Just as the resurrection of Christ
- 00:09:19.100 --> 00:09:21.270
- "manifested a new level of hope."
- 00:09:21.270 --> 00:09:24.040
- And it did.
- 00:09:24.040 --> 00:09:25.230
- Because when the angels said to Mary
- 00:09:26.130 --> 00:09:29.120
- and Martha, who were standing there,
- 00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.200
- "He is not here.
- 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.140
- "For he has risen."
- 00:09:33.260 --> 00:09:35.180
- Just like he said he would.
- 00:09:36.170 --> 00:09:38.230
- Lord, he said he would do it!
- 00:09:41.290 --> 00:09:44.120
- And they left there running, man.
- 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.090
- They ran back in town and said he's alive.
- 00:09:50.060 --> 00:09:52.280
- It presented a new level of hope.
- 00:09:53.140 --> 00:09:55.210
- My being raised from this death, has,
- 00:09:56.090 --> 00:10:00.250
- and I've hoped you've received it,
- 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.270
- as another level of hope for you.
- 00:10:03.270 --> 00:10:07.060
- See, Doc, Doc, this is what you see.
- 00:10:08.110 --> 00:10:10.030
- Come on down and join me, Doc.
- 00:10:10.030 --> 00:10:11.140
- Give me another chair.
- 00:10:11.140 --> 00:10:13.000
- This is...I'm indebted to this man.
- 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.140
- This is the man who is in part
- 00:10:16.100 --> 00:10:17.280
- responsible for my being here today.
- 00:10:17.280 --> 00:10:20.090
- This is Dr. Victor Grazette.
- 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.260
- (applause)
- 00:10:23.020 --> 00:10:27.100
- Have a seat.
- 00:10:27.100 --> 00:10:28.260
- Y'all thank God for him just a little more than that.
- 00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:38.140
- (cheering and applause)
- 00:10:38.170 --> 00:10:42.240
- You may be seated.
- 00:10:45.020 --> 00:10:46.090
- Thank you so very much.
- 00:10:46.090 --> 00:10:47.200
- Have a seat, Doc.
- 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:49.040
- No, take my seat.
- 00:10:49.040 --> 00:10:50.010
- That's Dr.Dee Dee's seat.
- 00:10:50.010 --> 00:10:51.140
- I don't want you sitting anywhere near anything...
- 00:10:51.160 --> 00:10:53.220
- (audience laughs)
- 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:56.250
- I mean, he has this voice that's so...
- 00:10:56.290 --> 00:10:59.090
- And I can see him now.
- 00:11:02.210 --> 00:11:03.260
- "Hello Dee Dee."
- 00:11:03.260 --> 00:11:05.180
- I'm just having fun y'all.
- 00:11:09.260 --> 00:11:11.180
- "Just as the resurrection of Christ
- 00:11:15.060 --> 00:11:16.270
- "manifested a new level of hope,
- 00:11:16.270 --> 00:11:19.080
- "you are now about to be seated
- 00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:21.070
- "in a new place of authority
- 00:11:21.070 --> 00:11:23.250
- "that will enable you to advance the Kingdom of God.
- 00:11:24.030 --> 00:11:27.230
- "You continue to fight the fight of faith
- 00:11:28.230 --> 00:11:31.270
- "and God has blessed you with an extra portion
- 00:11:31.270 --> 00:11:36.010
- "of anointing as his grace has pushed
- 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.190
- "you into a permanent position of favor."
- 00:11:39.190 --> 00:11:43.040
- I decree that you enjoy that permanent position of favor.
- 00:11:43.040 --> 00:11:46.210
- "That will miraculously manifest your dreams
- 00:11:49.010 --> 00:11:52.020
- "on an unimaginable level."
- 00:11:52.210 --> 00:11:55.250
- I receive that.
- 00:11:58.080 --> 00:11:59.230
- And so when over for all of these things
- 00:12:01.170 --> 00:12:03.200
- that I'm discussing with you, Brother Warren,
- 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.240
- to be manifested in your life,
- 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:08.060
- there has to be an element of trust
- 00:12:08.060 --> 00:12:10.080
- that you are consistently exhibiting.
- 00:12:10.130 --> 00:12:15.130
- Consistently exhibiting.
- 00:12:16.110 --> 00:12:18.020
- You have to have this level of trust in God.
- 00:12:18.020 --> 00:12:21.160
- The tithe has given me.
- 00:12:22.060 --> 00:12:24.150
- And people talk down the tithe.
- 00:12:24.150 --> 00:12:26.040
- And you hear it all the time.
- 00:12:26.040 --> 00:12:27.160
- "Man, all them preachers want is your money.
- 00:12:27.160 --> 00:12:29.250
- "I'm tired of that money thing.
- 00:12:29.250 --> 00:12:30.290
- "All they want is your money."
- 00:12:30.290 --> 00:12:32.190
- How many of y'all heard that?
- 00:12:32.190 --> 00:12:33.160
- "They want your money."
- 00:12:33.160 --> 00:12:34.210
- I said, how many of y'all heard that?
- 00:12:34.210 --> 00:12:36.140
- Turn to your neighbor.
- 00:12:36.140 --> 00:12:37.080
- Say, "Get your hand up."
- 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:38.020
- You heard that before.
- 00:12:38.020 --> 00:12:40.030
- (audience laughing)
- 00:12:40.050 --> 00:12:42.030
- And there's an element of truth in that.
- 00:12:45.150 --> 00:12:47.210
- Because a preacher should want your money.
- 00:12:48.180 --> 00:12:50.210
- But that shouldn't be all they want.
- 00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:53.150
- Because if I don't teach you concerning this level,
- 00:12:54.050 --> 00:12:57.210
- it is a miscarriage of my pastoral duty.
- 00:12:58.010 --> 00:13:01.100
- It's my duty.
- 00:13:02.290 --> 00:13:04.200
- I started off with saying, "You know what, God?"
- 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.220
- Anybody ever made a deal with God?
- 00:13:07.260 --> 00:13:09.260
- - [Audience] Yes.
- 00:13:10.040 --> 00:13:11.100
- - Come on, you've made a deal with God.
- 00:13:11.100 --> 00:13:12.170
- God if you heal my body, I'll serve you.
- 00:13:12.170 --> 00:13:15.280
- You ever been so drunk or high you say,
- 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.060
- "God, if you just let me come down."
- 00:13:20.060 --> 00:13:22.180
- I know some of y'all...
- 00:13:23.050 --> 00:13:23.270
- (laughs)
- 00:13:23.270 --> 00:13:25.100
- That my people right there.
- 00:13:25.100 --> 00:13:27.080
- That girl said, "Yeah!"
- 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.020
- Man, I didn't know my way home one night.
- 00:13:29.290 --> 00:13:33.210
- And when I woke up in the car that next morning,
- 00:13:34.170 --> 00:13:38.040
- it was a miracle that I can't
- 00:13:38.190 --> 00:13:40.220
- even remember getting home.
- 00:13:40.220 --> 00:13:42.260
- I didn't even get in the house.
- 00:13:44.040 --> 00:13:45.220
- I just...I woke up and I was in the front of my house.
- 00:13:45.220 --> 00:13:48.160
- I have no idea how I drove home.
- 00:13:48.160 --> 00:13:50.290
- That's high.
- 00:13:51.250 --> 00:13:53.090
- Okay, don't look at me like that.
- 00:13:54.290 --> 00:13:56.050
- You ain't been saved all your life.
- 00:13:56.050 --> 00:13:58.100
- Some of y'all look at me be like, "That's a shame."
- 00:13:58.100 --> 00:14:01.160
- It is.
- 00:14:02.060 --> 00:14:03.070
- It is a shame.
- 00:14:03.070 --> 00:14:04.220
- But that was a long time ago.
- 00:14:05.100 --> 00:14:07.140
- I receive.
- 00:14:09.030 --> 00:14:10.190
- And I told God if I Pastor,
- 00:14:11.020 --> 00:14:14.290
- I'm not letting them people pay me.
- 00:14:15.110 --> 00:14:17.150
- 'Cause I watched a man grab my father up like this.
- 00:14:17.190 --> 00:14:20.150
- A trustee of the church.
- 00:14:20.150 --> 00:14:22.140
- He was a pastor.
- 00:14:22.140 --> 00:14:23.210
- And the trustee grabbed my father like that.
- 00:14:23.210 --> 00:14:26.120
- Thank you.
- 00:14:27.040 --> 00:14:27.240
- I...apologize.
- 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:30.250
- (audience laughs)
- 00:14:30.270 --> 00:14:33.050
- And I said, "Hit 'em, Daddy!
- 00:14:34.210 --> 00:14:36.290
- "Hit 'em!"
- 00:14:36.290 --> 00:14:38.140
- And I was crying
- 00:14:38.160 --> 00:14:39.130
- It was so impressionable.
- 00:14:39.130 --> 00:14:41.080
- It made an indelible impression upon my life.
- 00:14:41.100 --> 00:14:43.280
- I can remember it so vividly.
- 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.060
- 'Cause I hated...
- 00:14:47.230 --> 00:14:49.070
- seeing this man put his hands on my father.
- 00:14:53.150 --> 00:14:56.120
- And my father wouldn't do anything.
- 00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:58.270
- And it didn't make a good impression for me.
- 00:14:58.270 --> 00:15:01.200
- And I need some counseling or something.
- 00:15:02.050 --> 00:15:04.170
- (audience laughs)
- 00:15:04.210 --> 00:15:07.050
- Every time.
- 00:15:10.130 --> 00:15:12.010
- Here, buy your brother something too, alright?
- 00:15:15.140 --> 00:15:18.000
- And my father wouldn't do a thing.
- 00:15:23.190 --> 00:15:25.070
- He just stood there.
- 00:15:25.100 --> 00:15:26.240
- And I told God, 'cause I've never forgotten.
- 00:15:26.270 --> 00:15:29.000
- You can you see how fresh it is in my heart today.
- 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:32.020
- And I told God, "I'll do what you've asked me to do,
- 00:15:33.170 --> 00:15:36.210
- "but these people will not pay me.
- 00:15:37.090 --> 00:15:39.090
- "These people will not pay me."
- 00:15:39.110 --> 00:15:41.150
- And I worked in this ministry for three and a half
- 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.180
- years and didn't receive a dime from you all.
- 00:15:43.180 --> 00:15:47.060
- And the Lord rebuked me, and I found out
- 00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:50.100
- that I was making you an inferior people
- 00:15:50.100 --> 00:15:52.260
- because I was not receiving from you the offering.
- 00:15:54.020 --> 00:15:57.250
- And I said, "How is that so?"
- 00:16:00.050 --> 00:16:01.220
- And then he said, "Look at II Corinthians
- 00:16:01.220 --> 00:16:03.260
- "Chapter number 12."
- 00:16:03.260 --> 00:16:05.200
- No, you don't have to do it right now.
- 00:16:05.220 --> 00:16:07.130
- But do it later so you can be informed.
- 00:16:07.130 --> 00:16:09.260
- Because deception is at an all time high.
- 00:16:10.160 --> 00:16:14.080
- Oprah just featured this guy Rob Bell
- 00:16:15.100 --> 00:16:18.010
- who was a former mega church pastor who said
- 00:16:18.040 --> 00:16:22.070
- there is this zig zoom effect that happens,
- 00:16:22.070 --> 00:16:25.020
- an energy that happens between a husband and wife.
- 00:16:25.070 --> 00:16:28.210
- But it doesn't have to be male and female.
- 00:16:28.230 --> 00:16:30.260
- It can be male and male, and female and female.
- 00:16:31.140 --> 00:16:34.260
- And every church who is not marrying
- 00:16:34.280 --> 00:16:37.230
- same sex will become irrelevant.
- 00:16:37.230 --> 00:16:40.030
- Not this church.
- 00:16:42.180 --> 00:16:43.270
- I said not this church.
- 00:16:44.230 --> 00:16:46.180
- Deception is at an all time high.
- 00:16:48.270 --> 00:16:51.070
- I'm amazed of partners that I encounter.
- 00:16:51.180 --> 00:16:55.020
- Even those who were members of this church
- 00:16:55.170 --> 00:16:57.200
- once a time, the deception that they walk in nowadays.
- 00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:01.050
- People who once believed one thing,
- 00:17:04.080 --> 00:17:05.190
- "I don't believe that anymore."
- 00:17:05.190 --> 00:17:07.160
- And it will get worse, ladies and gentlemen.
- 00:17:08.280 --> 00:17:12.090
- But say, "I love and trust God."
- 00:17:13.040 --> 00:17:15.040
- - [Audience] I love and trust God.
- 00:17:15.040 --> 00:17:17.010
- - He said those who trust him...
- 00:17:17.010 --> 00:17:19.110
- Proverbs 28 and 25 or 26.
- 00:17:19.110 --> 00:17:22.080
- He said, "Those who trust me will prosper."
- 00:17:22.140 --> 00:17:25.010
- There is a level of equality with trust and prosperity.
- 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:30.140
- When you trust him, you prosper.
- 00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:38.030
- But then he gives us the tithe to demonstrate that.
- 00:17:38.030 --> 00:17:40.240
- Isn't God wonderful?
- 00:17:42.250 --> 00:17:44.180
- So I want to resume from where we were.
- 00:17:46.060 --> 00:17:50.270
- And I'm not gonna spend much time
- 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:52.190
- talking about what I just talked about.
- 00:17:52.190 --> 00:17:54.210
- This is a brilliant man.
- 00:18:00.130 --> 00:18:02.140
- Just brilliant in my estimation.
- 00:18:03.230 --> 00:18:06.060
- When I first met him...
- 00:18:06.060 --> 00:18:08.120
- He can be somewhat intimidating
- 00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:15.070
- because of his brilliance.
- 00:18:16.050 --> 00:18:18.100
- But it's very difficult to intimidate
- 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:27.200
- somebody who knows who they are and whose they are.
- 00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:31.260
- And I don't care where you are on any academic level,
- 00:18:32.190 --> 00:18:37.120
- the anointing levels the playing field.
- 00:18:38.050 --> 00:18:40.240
- And God will make you a lot smarter
- 00:18:44.260 --> 00:18:47.040
- than you are if you'll listen to him.
- 00:18:47.040 --> 00:18:49.260
- I'm amazed at some of the stuff that Dr. Dee Dee
- 00:18:52.030 --> 00:18:54.190
- will come up with in our discussion,
- 00:18:54.190 --> 00:18:56.290
- 'cause I know she's not that smart.
- 00:18:57.020 --> 00:18:59.070
- (audience laughs)
- 00:18:59.110 --> 00:19:02.010
- And then she'll give God all the glory.
- 00:19:05.190 --> 00:19:07.100
- She'll say, "Oh man, that was the Holy Ghost."
- 00:19:07.100 --> 00:19:08.180
- I'll say, "You ain't gotta tell me."
- 00:19:08.180 --> 00:19:10.160
- (audience laughs)
- 00:19:10.180 --> 00:19:12.270
- He is the...what, Doc?
- 00:19:17.250 --> 00:19:22.130
- And who of...
- 00:19:22.150 --> 00:19:24.090
- - Corporate Director for Cardiology--
- 00:19:25.010 --> 00:19:27.150
- - See, and I can't even stand his voice.
- 00:19:27.150 --> 00:19:29.170
- (laughing)
- 00:19:29.190 --> 00:19:31.230
- He is the corporate--
- 00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:34.060
- - Corporate Director for Cardiology Services,
- 00:19:34.060 --> 00:19:36.110
- Pulmonary, Sleep Medicine, Cardiovascular Surgery
- 00:19:36.140 --> 00:19:39.260
- and some Outpatient Diagnostic services
- 00:19:41.130 --> 00:19:43.280
- in the Dimension Healthcare System.
- 00:19:43.280 --> 00:19:46.140
- Specifically, my office is at Laurel Regional Hospital.
- 00:19:46.140 --> 00:19:49.160
- - That's a mouthful.
- 00:19:51.190 --> 00:19:52.290
- Yeah, that's a resume there, boy.
- 00:19:55.010 --> 00:19:57.010
- And you said on last week when you first met me.
- 00:19:59.050 --> 00:20:04.050
- It was funny because that's when I felt
- 00:20:04.110 --> 00:20:08.020
- at my lowest when we met.
- 00:20:08.080 --> 00:20:11.140
- And I was tempted to be in depression.
- 00:20:12.250 --> 00:20:15.090
- And I discovered from him on yesterday or Friday
- 00:20:15.110 --> 00:20:20.110
- that this thing that I've gone through,
- 00:20:21.070 --> 00:20:24.200
- it's inevitably associated or connected to depression.
- 00:20:25.070 --> 00:20:29.080
- Matter of fact, Camilla here was the one
- 00:20:29.230 --> 00:20:32.290
- who brought to my attention that the doctors
- 00:20:32.290 --> 00:20:36.050
- noted from Washington hospital saying that I was depressed.
- 00:20:36.050 --> 00:20:39.280
- She didn't deal with it.
- 00:20:43.010 --> 00:20:45.230
- It's interesting how your approach
- 00:20:45.250 --> 00:20:48.240
- to my case was so abnormal.
- 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:52.240
- It was different than me because
- 00:20:52.260 --> 00:20:55.170
- when she said, "Why is depression on your chart?"
- 00:20:55.190 --> 00:20:59.020
- And I said, "On who's chart?"
- 00:21:00.140 --> 00:21:02.140
- I mean, there was a righteous indignation...
- 00:21:02.180 --> 00:21:04.250
- How can you be depressed and a Christian?
- 00:21:05.180 --> 00:21:07.210
- Now, don't get into condemnation, because if you are now
- 00:21:10.260 --> 00:21:14.180
- popping antidepressant medication, you do what you gotta do.
- 00:21:14.180 --> 00:21:18.180
- But you stick around here, you're gonna
- 00:21:18.210 --> 00:21:20.120
- be off that medication by the end of this year.
- 00:21:20.120 --> 00:21:23.160
- (audience clapping)
- 00:21:23.220 --> 00:21:25.280
- I'm gonna teach you how to be happy.
- 00:21:27.080 --> 00:21:29.100
- It's gonna come up out of your spirit.
- 00:21:34.050 --> 00:21:35.280
- And I said, "What are you talking about?"
- 00:21:38.090 --> 00:21:40.020
- She said, "It's listed here from your doctor."
- 00:21:40.020 --> 00:21:43.000
- She said, "I didn't want to tell you
- 00:21:43.250 --> 00:21:45.020
- "because I know who you are.
- 00:21:45.020 --> 00:21:46.260
- "But, why is this depression here?"
- 00:21:47.060 --> 00:21:49.080
- And I said, "Get the doctor on the phone, De Dee!"
- 00:21:50.020 --> 00:21:52.240
- But they had to put that because there are
- 00:21:54.270 --> 00:21:58.040
- certain associated symptoms and terms.
- 00:21:58.040 --> 00:22:01.000
- Talk to me, Doc.
- 00:22:02.050 --> 00:22:02.290
- You're the Doctor.
- 00:22:02.290 --> 00:22:04.140
- - He had what we call Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome,
- 00:22:04.140 --> 00:22:07.190
- as I think I said that last week.
- 00:22:08.030 --> 00:22:10.140
- Associated with Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome
- 00:22:10.180 --> 00:22:15.010
- for patients who recover, if they recover,
- 00:22:15.040 --> 00:22:18.130
- it's depression.
- 00:22:18.130 --> 00:22:20.040
- I call it, "the spirit of depression dwells
- 00:22:20.130 --> 00:22:24.180
- "at the bedside of the patients that (mumbles).
- 00:22:24.180 --> 00:22:26.240
- - I'm telling you that is the God honest truth.
- 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:29.260
- I'm telling you.
- 00:22:30.060 --> 00:22:31.130
- Depression, if not every day, every other day,
- 00:22:31.130 --> 00:22:35.240
- visited my bedside.
- 00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:37.150
- - And--
- 00:22:38.020 --> 00:22:39.210
- - And I had no clue that it was
- 00:22:39.230 --> 00:22:41.050
- associated to what I went through.
- 00:22:41.050 --> 00:22:42.230
- - Right, it is.
- 00:22:42.230 --> 00:22:44.140
- And associated with the disease also is,
- 00:22:44.230 --> 00:22:48.210
- you suffer a cognitive deficit, physical deficit.
- 00:22:48.270 --> 00:22:53.270
- We are not even talking at the level of where he was.
- 00:22:57.060 --> 00:22:59.230
- - [Dr. Freeman] Talk about those levels,
- 00:22:59.230 --> 00:23:00.250
- because we didn't last week.
- 00:23:00.250 --> 00:23:02.280
- - So, we talked about the oxygen index
- 00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:05.210
- last time very briefly.
- 00:23:05.210 --> 00:23:07.180
- It is a number that you use to estimate
- 00:23:07.210 --> 00:23:10.260
- the mortality rate of a patient.
- 00:23:10.260 --> 00:23:13.060
- An oxygen index of anywhere from 25 to 30
- 00:23:15.150 --> 00:23:18.200
- is considered high, but normal.
- 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:21.270
- The expected recovery is imminent.
- 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:25.240
- An oxygen index of 40 or greater, death is imminent.
- 00:23:26.150 --> 00:23:31.040
- An oxygen index of greater than 40,
- 00:23:31.040 --> 00:23:34.080
- the mortality rate is very high.
- 00:23:35.090 --> 00:23:37.160
- And his oxygen index was not even anywhere near 40.
- 00:23:38.020 --> 00:23:41.110
- It was 62.75, approximately.
- 00:23:41.290 --> 00:23:44.240
- That is...I'm not sure if there are any
- 00:23:45.070 --> 00:23:47.130
- nurses or physicians here in the audience.
- 00:23:47.130 --> 00:23:50.200
- But someone with an oxygen index
- 00:23:51.050 --> 00:23:53.140
- of 62 will not live.
- 00:23:53.140 --> 00:23:55.240
- Will not live.
- 00:23:56.260 --> 00:23:58.290
- (audience laughs)
- 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:01.150
- And if they do live, it's not necessarily
- 00:24:01.150 --> 00:24:03.220
- what you call a life.
- 00:24:03.220 --> 00:24:05.190
- It is an organism on a bed.
- 00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:07.280
- And so, the severity...
- 00:24:08.190 --> 00:24:10.270
- What is amazing, what is testimonial,
- 00:24:10.270 --> 00:24:14.040
- what is praiseworthy, is what you see here today.
- 00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:18.120
- Is what you see before you.
- 00:24:19.190 --> 00:24:21.230
- And you know, earlier we talked about
- 00:24:21.230 --> 00:24:25.280
- this is...and you said it earlier just now here,
- 00:24:26.140 --> 00:24:30.180
- to give hope.
- 00:24:31.070 --> 00:24:32.260
- This is a ministry that was built
- 00:24:33.060 --> 00:24:36.230
- by these two people on faith.
- 00:24:36.230 --> 00:24:38.150
- A ministry of faith.
- 00:24:39.100 --> 00:24:40.280
- And it is the infrastructure of this ministry.
- 00:24:42.070 --> 00:24:45.010
- Is it not though?
- 00:24:45.040 --> 00:24:46.170
- It is.
- 00:24:46.190 --> 00:24:47.240
- It is the infrastructure of this ministry.
- 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.060
- And the enemy attacked that very infrastructure.
- 00:24:49.280 --> 00:24:53.190
- - Wow.
- 00:24:53.270 --> 00:24:55.060
- - To destroy it.
- 00:24:55.110 --> 00:24:56.250
- Because if he could have destroyed
- 00:24:56.280 --> 00:24:58.100
- the very infrastructure of the ministry,
- 00:24:58.100 --> 00:25:00.130
- he would have shaken everybody.
- 00:25:00.190 --> 00:25:02.160
- Because I know some of you...
- 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:06.290
- I wasn't here at this time (mumbling)
- 00:25:07.010 --> 00:25:09.120
- because I wasn't here at the time.
- 00:25:09.120 --> 00:25:11.070
- But some of you were looking...
- 00:25:11.090 --> 00:25:13.210
- looking and standing to see what the outcome would be.
- 00:25:13.210 --> 00:25:16.130
- Some of you were praying.
- 00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:18.060
- And some of you were looking to see what the outcome was.
- 00:25:18.080 --> 00:25:20.130
- You know.
- 00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:23.010
- - [Dr.Freemanl] Tell the truth!
- 00:25:23.120 --> 00:25:25.060
- Because I know.
- 00:25:25.060 --> 00:25:26.190
- I know everybody who said they were praying
- 00:25:26.190 --> 00:25:30.160
- for me were not for me.
- 00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:32.160
- There are some cats who really hated
- 00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:38.200
- to know that Mike Freeman got out of this situation.
- 00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:41.250
- I already know that.
- 00:25:42.290 --> 00:25:44.220
- - And the think about this RDS...
- 00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:46.180
- When you think about it, usually the patient
- 00:25:46.180 --> 00:25:48.150
- with the RDS...already in the hospital
- 00:25:48.150 --> 00:25:52.010
- or is following a major accident or trauma.
- 00:25:53.070 --> 00:25:57.080
- Something you can really pinpoint.
- 00:25:57.180 --> 00:25:59.190
- Or they were in the hospital with
- 00:25:59.220 --> 00:26:00.290
- a really major sickness.
- 00:26:00.290 --> 00:26:03.040
- Abscess or something like that.
- 00:26:03.190 --> 00:26:05.080
- It is very unusual to find someone that
- 00:26:05.080 --> 00:26:07.140
- comes from home with that level
- 00:26:07.140 --> 00:26:11.280
- of Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
- 00:26:11.280 --> 00:26:14.060
- It is absolutely unusual.
- 00:26:14.080 --> 00:26:16.010
- At the point that he got into the hospital,
- 00:26:16.030 --> 00:26:19.210
- he had probably about 24 hours to live.
- 00:26:19.290 --> 00:26:22.140
