about your wealth, about your children,
00:00:01.220 --> 00:00:02.070
about your marriage.
00:00:02.070 --> 00:00:03.210
And it's the kingdoms formula
00:00:03.210 --> 00:00:06.030
that will escort you right out of wherever you are.
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.100
Ladies and gentlemen, the journey
00:00:10.100 --> 00:00:12.180
that we're about to go on
00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:14.090
will be an exciting one that will transform
00:00:14.090 --> 00:00:18.090
your life forever.
00:00:18.090 --> 00:00:19.280
I wish somebody would get up
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.030
and shout glory to God!
00:00:23.030 --> 00:00:25.000
Today, on Living by Faith...
00:01:00.250 --> 00:01:02.060
like you know Jesus
00:01:02.060 --> 00:01:03.070
the eagle in them is gone come out of them
00:01:03.070 --> 00:01:06.230
and we gone take wings.
00:01:06.230 --> 00:01:08.170
Come on, Brittany, you hearing what I'm saying?
00:01:08.170 --> 00:01:10.090
'Cause you got little babies.
00:01:10.090 --> 00:01:12.020
It's parents who got little babies and loved ones
00:01:12.020 --> 00:01:15.130
that's gone fear the most.
00:01:15.130 --> 00:01:17.020
You can rest God thank you
00:01:17.020 --> 00:01:20.030
that the seed of the righteous are delivered.
00:01:20.030 --> 00:01:23.280
(congregation cheering)
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.140
No selah think about what I'm saying to you.
00:01:27.080 --> 00:01:29.080
You can't even manage your marriage
00:01:34.160 --> 00:01:36.070
and you have been placed as the manager of this Earth.
00:01:36.070 --> 00:01:40.120
You are this Earth's answer.
00:01:46.190 --> 00:01:48.290
Jesus isn't.
00:01:51.110 --> 00:01:52.110
Jesus is not this Earth's answer you are.
00:01:55.130 --> 00:01:59.190
I thought Jesus was.
00:01:59.190 --> 00:02:01.110
That's what we straightening out now.
00:02:02.140 --> 00:02:04.050
We're straightening all of that misunderstanding out.
00:02:04.050 --> 00:02:07.170
I know what you're trying to suggest and mean, imply,
00:02:07.170 --> 00:02:11.170
overall he is the answer,
00:02:11.170 --> 00:02:13.220
but the answer left and placed somebody else in charge.
00:02:13.220 --> 00:02:17.180
Have you mama or daddy ever left the house and say
00:02:17.180 --> 00:02:21.020
you're in charge?
00:02:21.020 --> 00:02:22.220
That's what Jesus did.
00:02:22.220 --> 00:02:24.250
Jesus threw you the keys and say
00:02:24.250 --> 00:02:26.250
now no wild parties.
00:02:26.250 --> 00:02:28.150
Turn to your neighbor say,
00:02:30.030 --> 00:02:31.150
you need to get a hold of that one right there.
00:02:31.150 --> 00:02:33.220
(congregation laughing)
00:02:33.220 --> 00:02:37.050
You just act like I was here.
00:02:39.100 --> 00:02:41.230
Don't do anything different
00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:45.170
from what I would do if I was here.
00:02:45.170 --> 00:02:48.080
Just do what we've been doing.
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:49.170
We'll with all right.
00:02:49.170 --> 00:02:51.100
He leaves and you act like
00:02:51.100 --> 00:02:53.150
you don't have any authority.
00:02:53.150 --> 00:02:55.270
Pastor Rick or Karen could not die
00:03:08.170 --> 00:03:11.260
in that horrific wreck.
00:03:11.260 --> 00:03:13.230
I have decreed and declared over all of you
00:03:16.040 --> 00:03:19.230
whether you walk in it or not
00:03:19.230 --> 00:03:21.210
it's gone be your prerogative.
00:03:21.210 --> 00:03:23.170
I decree and declare that nothing
00:03:23.170 --> 00:03:27.000
by any means shall harm you.
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.100
Not on my watch.
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.150
I am not playing with you.
00:03:33.150 --> 00:03:35.200
Come on lean over on your neighbor and say
00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:39.140
take your rightful place.
00:03:39.140 --> 00:03:40.260
Take it, take your rightful place.
00:03:40.260 --> 00:03:44.070
I receive.
00:03:44.070 --> 00:03:45.020
If things are constantly going on
00:03:51.160 --> 00:03:54.200
negatively in your life
00:03:54.200 --> 00:03:56.140
where you're not winning,
00:03:56.140 --> 00:03:58.030
it's time to kind of look over
00:03:58.030 --> 00:04:00.120
what you are doing,
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.050
or rather not doing,
00:04:02.050 --> 00:04:03.280
and let's get that straightened out.
00:04:08.220 --> 00:04:11.200
It appears
00:04:14.130 --> 00:04:16.030
you check this for me, you judge this
00:04:16.030 --> 00:04:19.060
that when chaos and crisis,
00:04:20.280 --> 00:04:23.080
or disappointments, or let downs,
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.190
or trouble, or problems
00:04:31.190 --> 00:04:34.070
when it hits your house
00:04:34.070 --> 00:04:36.220
or when it hits our land...
00:04:36.220 --> 00:04:38.270
Okay, thank you, Lord.
00:04:38.270 --> 00:04:40.120
Like 9/11.
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.050
At 9/11, 15 years ago
00:04:43.270 --> 00:04:46.200
it didn't matter to people
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.270
whether you were white, black, green, purple.
00:04:51.270 --> 00:04:56.090
It doesn't matter whether you were
00:04:56.090 --> 00:04:58.080
Catholic, whether you were Baptist.
00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:01.150
Man, they were having prayer vigils.
00:05:01.150 --> 00:05:04.150
People were coming in the church by the droves.
00:05:06.290 --> 00:05:11.180
That pressure and the uncertainty
00:05:11.180 --> 00:05:15.230
of the stability of our nation
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.200
forced people back on their knees.
00:05:19.200 --> 00:05:22.150
But I've noticed when everything's okay
00:05:25.090 --> 00:05:28.190
people are really relaxed
00:05:28.190 --> 00:05:30.240
in their regiment of righteousness.
00:05:32.270 --> 00:05:36.050
Don't pray.
00:05:36.050 --> 00:05:37.130
Don't get in the word.
00:05:37.130 --> 00:05:38.220
But you let a crisis hit,
00:05:38.220 --> 00:05:40.280
Lord, Jesus. Lord Jesus.
00:05:40.280 --> 00:05:43.000
Can't get enough of bible study.
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:44.230
Trying to come in and cram everything imaginable.
00:05:44.230 --> 00:05:49.090
But you cannot build in any storm.
00:05:49.090 --> 00:05:52.040
So thank you, Lord.
00:05:55.280 --> 00:05:58.040
Here's a prophetic overview
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.120
that I need you to understand.
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.160
You gotta hear me,
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:03.270
which requires your building now.
00:06:03.270 --> 00:06:06.200
See everything is a-okay in our land.
00:06:08.090 --> 00:06:11.160
You can see some odd turbulence that's forecast.
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.160
Man, listen to me somebody
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.240
the scripture says God will never allow anything
00:06:21.060 --> 00:06:25.000
to happen in the Earth without notifying the prophet.
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.040
My job is to instruct you
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.220
and inform you of your position
00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:34.010
at this particular time,
00:06:34.010 --> 00:06:35.150
and none of you should be in the laid back
00:06:35.150 --> 00:06:38.150
laxed position
00:06:38.150 --> 00:06:39.270
as it relates to your knowing your God.
00:06:39.270 --> 00:06:43.040
Because those who know their God
00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:46.280
(congregation applauding)
00:06:46.280 --> 00:06:48.010
shall do great exploited.
00:06:48.010 --> 00:06:50.220
(congregation cheering)
00:06:50.220 --> 00:06:54.020
So this Earth is going to continue
00:06:56.180 --> 00:06:59.150
to yearn and quake for the manifestation of the sons.
00:07:01.010 --> 00:07:05.050
One of us can't do it alone, Earl Lee.
00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:08.130
We're gonna have to flow in the same kind of understanding,
00:07:08.130 --> 00:07:12.090
and the same boldness, and the same knowledge,
00:07:12.090 --> 00:07:15.200
so whatever happens over in your life
00:07:15.200 --> 00:07:17.280
you handle for the church.
00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:19.210
Whatever happens in my life I handle.
00:07:19.210 --> 00:07:23.160
We can't afford to take him off his post
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:27.080
to go over and catch up for what you lacking in.
00:07:27.080 --> 00:07:31.150
We gotta keep him on his post
00:07:31.150 --> 00:07:33.270
so he can hold his side down.
00:07:33.270 --> 00:07:36.060
But now he gotta leave his side
00:07:36.060 --> 00:07:38.120
if you don't hold down your side.
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.270
Are you hearing?
00:07:40.270 --> 00:07:42.040
Every last one of us have purpose.
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.270
This is not the hour where you rely
00:07:46.130 --> 00:07:49.120
on another man's righteousness.
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.000
You gotta know your God.
00:07:56.110 --> 00:07:58.260
You must know your God.
00:07:58.260 --> 00:08:00.260
You know everything else.
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.170
You know every (grunting).
00:08:07.170 --> 00:08:11.060
Cookie Lyons.
00:08:11.060 --> 00:08:12.080
You know Lucifer, I mean
00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:16.080
Scandal, Power,
00:08:19.220 --> 00:08:20.290
but tell me scripture.
00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:24.050
So then
00:08:31.030 --> 00:08:31.280
is it good like David said
00:08:33.190 --> 00:08:36.140
for us to be in the house of mourning
00:08:36.140 --> 00:08:39.120
than to be in the house of gladness
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.210
because there's a proclivity?
00:08:41.210 --> 00:08:43.160
When people are in the house of mourning,
00:08:43.160 --> 00:08:45.130
they seek God.
00:08:45.130 --> 00:08:47.070
Why does things have to be tough in your life
00:08:47.070 --> 00:08:50.030
for you to go hard after him
00:08:50.030 --> 00:08:52.200
when everything is okay?
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.150
That's what Deuteronomy says.
00:08:54.150 --> 00:08:56.140
Deuteronomy 18 and eight or 8:18 says
00:08:56.140 --> 00:08:59.190
when you enter into your wealthy place
00:09:01.060 --> 00:09:03.270
don't you dare forget who it was
00:09:03.270 --> 00:09:06.130
that brought you out of the ghetto.
00:09:06.130 --> 00:09:09.100
You can tell from the apostasy that's even
00:09:14.020 --> 00:09:17.170
happening at church.
00:09:17.170 --> 00:09:19.000
I have watched leaders walk away from their church
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.270
who are no longer in church.
00:09:22.270 --> 00:09:25.070
They don't any longer see the importance.
00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:32.280
I can serve God at home.
00:09:32.280 --> 00:09:34.280
He never once told us to be isolated.
00:09:38.050 --> 00:09:40.140
He told us to be separated
00:09:40.140 --> 00:09:42.030
but separated from the world.
00:09:42.030 --> 00:09:44.160
You gotta watch your steps.
00:09:47.020 --> 00:09:49.110
You gotta watch your steps these days.
00:09:49.110 --> 00:09:51.120
You gotta watch your life what I'm talking about.
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:53.240
You gotta see are you drifting,
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:55.280
subtly drifting into things
00:09:55.280 --> 00:09:58.060
that you once were delivered from.
00:09:58.060 --> 00:10:00.230
Stuff that you know you were not designed to do.
00:10:00.230 --> 00:10:04.120
You wouldn't even raised like that.
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:06.080
The word of God now grace, this message of grace,
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:09.130
has caused you to loosen your hold on holiness
00:10:09.130 --> 00:10:13.160
and righteousness.
00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:14.250
Now going to the club a little bit.
00:10:14.250 --> 00:10:16.270
It's all right.
00:10:16.270 --> 00:10:18.050
Gone drink a little wine it's all right.
00:10:18.050 --> 00:10:19.260
I'm still saved.
00:10:19.260 --> 00:10:20.280
Don't judge me.
00:10:20.280 --> 00:10:22.050
See the church is dimming their light
00:10:22.050 --> 00:10:24.280
and you cannot determine or discern who's the real.
00:10:24.280 --> 00:10:29.120
Y'all don't like me no more.
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:31.220
We got to get this fixed.
00:10:38.140 --> 00:10:40.160
It starts with a mindset.
00:10:42.050 --> 00:10:44.080
Will the real church please stand up?
00:10:46.090 --> 00:10:49.110
Okay, let's look at Luke 17. Go to 23.
00:10:52.180 --> 00:10:56.160
They will say to you look here or look there
00:10:56.160 --> 00:10:59.290
and do not go after them or follow them.
00:10:59.290 --> 00:11:02.220
Watch this.
00:11:02.220 --> 00:11:04.000
For as the lightening that flashes out of
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:07.030
one part under the Heavens shines
00:11:07.030 --> 00:11:09.070
to another part under the Heavens
00:11:09.070 --> 00:11:11.090
so also the son of man will be in his day.
00:11:11.090 --> 00:11:14.230
How shall they be?
00:11:14.230 --> 00:11:16.010
But first he must suffer many things
00:11:16.010 --> 00:11:18.060
and be rejected by this generation.
00:11:18.060 --> 00:11:21.030
That's happening.
00:11:21.030 --> 00:11:23.020
I met a girl yesterday ministered to her she said
00:11:23.020 --> 00:11:26.130
I don't believe in all of that.
00:11:26.130 --> 00:11:29.000
I just believe in what I can produce.
00:11:30.290 --> 00:11:34.020
That's where I am.
00:11:35.090 --> 00:11:36.240
Rejecting Jesus.
00:11:37.270 --> 00:11:39.200
As it was in the days of Noah,
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:42.260
so will it be in the days of the son of man.
00:11:42.260 --> 00:11:46.130
Well, how was it in the days of Noah?
00:11:46.130 --> 00:11:48.280
They ate, they drank, they married wives.
00:11:48.280 --> 00:11:51.190
They were given in marriage
00:11:51.190 --> 00:11:52.270
until the day that Noah entered into the Ark.
00:11:52.270 --> 00:11:56.010
The flood came and destroyed them all.
00:11:56.010 --> 00:11:58.060
The entire time Noah was shouting out just like I am.
00:11:58.060 --> 00:12:02.130
Get yourself in place.
00:12:03.110 --> 00:12:05.060
Some of you are going to ignore and not take heed
00:12:06.210 --> 00:12:10.150
of what I'm telling you because the heat hadn't hit yet.
00:12:10.150 --> 00:12:14.060
I'm telling you we're getting ahead of the heat.
00:12:14.060 --> 00:12:17.060
(congregation cheering)
00:12:17.060 --> 00:12:20.090
Turn to your neighbor say
00:12:20.090 --> 00:12:21.150
would you please listen to this man?
00:12:21.150 --> 00:12:23.170
It's gonna have to be an established mindset
00:12:23.170 --> 00:12:26.170
that's gonna assist you.
00:12:26.170 --> 00:12:28.060
Because you can hear me now and respond
00:12:28.060 --> 00:12:30.290
but I need you mentally strong and strengthened
00:12:30.290 --> 00:12:35.180
so you can maintain this as a lifestyle.
00:12:35.180 --> 00:12:38.150
So while things are good
00:12:38.150 --> 00:12:40.060
you're so mentally strong
00:12:40.060 --> 00:12:42.010
you'll literally flow with the good life
00:12:42.010 --> 00:12:44.040
and still go after God hard.
00:12:44.040 --> 00:12:46.140
Likewise as it was in the days of Lot
00:12:50.010 --> 00:12:53.270
we done left Noah.
00:12:53.270 --> 00:12:55.040
Now we with Lot.
00:12:55.040 --> 00:12:56.210
They did the same thing.
00:12:56.210 --> 00:12:59.140
They ate, they drank, they bought,
00:12:59.140 --> 00:13:02.270
they sowed, they planted, they built.
00:13:02.270 --> 00:13:05.190
Life is good.
00:13:05.190 --> 00:13:07.030
But on the day that Lot went out of Sodom
00:13:07.030 --> 00:13:10.160
it reigned fire and brimstone from Heaven
00:13:12.030 --> 00:13:16.060
and destroyed them all.
00:13:16.060 --> 00:13:18.150
Even so what do you think that means?
00:13:18.150 --> 00:13:21.230
Likewise.
00:13:21.230 --> 00:13:23.090
Even so will it be in the day
00:13:23.090 --> 00:13:25.160
when the son of man is revealed.
00:13:25.160 --> 00:13:27.210
Watch this, in that day
00:13:27.210 --> 00:13:30.160
he who is on the housetop
00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:33.030
and his goods are in the house
00:13:33.030 --> 00:13:35.290
you can tell there's no attachment
00:13:35.290 --> 00:13:39.160
because he'll just let them go.
00:13:39.160 --> 00:13:42.090
When you attached to the world,
00:13:42.090 --> 00:13:43.210
you gone turn around and try to go after it.
00:13:43.210 --> 00:13:47.160
I've been on aircrafts, airplanes,
00:13:47.160 --> 00:13:49.250
we were flying high, flying at altitude
00:13:49.250 --> 00:13:53.110
and all of a sudden we loss cabin pressure.
00:13:53.110 --> 00:13:56.120
Them mask dropped.
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:57.230
I have seen that other than where the have
00:13:57.230 --> 00:14:00.060
displayed it at the front.
00:14:00.060 --> 00:14:02.090
You remember they give the...
00:14:02.090 --> 00:14:04.140
That mask dropped.
00:14:04.140 --> 00:14:05.210
That plane (buzzing).
00:14:05.210 --> 00:14:08.040
You gotta drive like that rapidly
00:14:08.040 --> 00:14:10.190
or everybody else will just go completely out.
00:14:10.190 --> 00:14:13.040
It is the pilot's responsibility
00:14:13.040 --> 00:14:15.000
to put on the mask and get air from another source
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.240
so that they don't lose consciousness
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.120
'cause if the pilot lose conscious,
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:23.220
(congregation laughing)
00:14:23.220 --> 00:14:25.110
we all gone see Jesus.
00:14:25.110 --> 00:14:27.180
Prayerfully we all gone see Jesus.
00:14:27.180 --> 00:14:30.130
Man, people were hollering and screaming.
00:14:32.180 --> 00:14:36.100
One lady her ear drum popped, burst
00:14:36.100 --> 00:14:39.280
because of the pressure.
00:14:39.280 --> 00:14:41.020
Blood running out of her ear.
00:14:41.020 --> 00:14:43.200
One flight attendant they used to be barometer
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.200
to determine whether or not I should be scared.
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:49.170
Every time the plane would shake
00:14:49.170 --> 00:14:50.230
I'd look at a flight attendant,
00:14:50.230 --> 00:14:52.130
and then they'll just keep pouring their Coke
00:14:52.130 --> 00:14:54.020
or whatever have you.
00:14:54.020 --> 00:14:55.000
I'm saying it must be all right.
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.080
This particular flight attendant panicked.
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:59.170
It was her first day on the job.
00:14:59.170 --> 00:15:02.090
When we got on the ground, the girl quit.
00:15:04.020 --> 00:15:06.270
True story the girl quit.
00:15:06.270 --> 00:15:08.050
She say I don't want this no more.
00:15:08.050 --> 00:15:10.280
That girl quit.
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:13.010
We get down and the pilot says
00:15:14.130 --> 00:15:16.250
please evacuate the plane immediately, please.
00:15:16.250 --> 00:15:20.090
You had some jokers going up in the overhead bin
00:15:20.090 --> 00:15:23.170
trying to grab their laptop.
00:15:23.170 --> 00:15:25.270
You see?
00:15:28.070 --> 00:15:29.020
I'm looking at,
00:15:30.190 --> 00:15:32.080
"Look, man, we got to get off of here."
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:35.200
"You need to calm down."
00:15:39.060 --> 00:15:41.060
That cat, man, wanted to grab his laptop.
00:15:42.110 --> 00:15:45.170
Okay get this vision, get this.
00:15:47.130 --> 00:15:50.000
Every single day
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:53.030
you depart from your loved ones.
00:15:54.280 --> 00:15:57.180
Every single day they go one way
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:01.290
you go another.
00:16:01.290 --> 00:16:03.010
You send your children off.
00:16:03.010 --> 00:16:04.240
They go to school.
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:05.280
They go to work wherever the case may be,
00:16:05.280 --> 00:16:09.000
whatever the case may be. (baby crying)
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:13.080
(congregation laughing)
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:16.200
The mother looked up like.
00:16:18.140 --> 00:16:21.000
It's alright baby.
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:21.250
I promise you it's good.
00:16:21.250 --> 00:16:23.250
I been hearing about the coming of Jesus
00:16:30.150 --> 00:16:33.280
since as far as I can remember.
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:39.080
As a matter of fact the way they were
00:16:40.160 --> 00:16:42.230
preaching it when I was kid,
00:16:42.230 --> 00:16:44.150
I never even thought I'd graduate from high school.
00:16:44.150 --> 00:16:48.260
I never thought that I would get married.
00:16:48.260 --> 00:16:52.090
Forget about having children.
00:16:53.230 --> 00:16:56.050
'Cause he coming back soon and you better be ready.
00:16:57.210 --> 00:17:01.280
I never thought I would be the age that I am
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:08.140
because that was the urgency even back then.
00:17:10.080 --> 00:17:14.020
Some of y'all been in church.
00:17:14.020 --> 00:17:15.080
You know what I'm talking about, right?
00:17:15.080 --> 00:17:18.060
I can't ever remember
00:17:18.060 --> 00:17:20.010
feeling like I feel now though.
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:24.110
There are far too many elements
00:17:26.040 --> 00:17:28.240
that's incorporated in this sensing
00:17:30.270 --> 00:17:33.270
than like it has ever been.
00:17:35.130 --> 00:17:37.210
So, ladies and gentlemen,
00:17:46.150 --> 00:17:48.220
one day he's really coming back.
00:17:48.220 --> 00:17:51.120
When I was in that hospital bed,
00:17:59.210 --> 00:18:02.130
Satan would come for me
00:18:04.180 --> 00:18:06.180
if not every day, every other day.
00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:11.030
You gone die.
00:18:11.030 --> 00:18:12.220
You gone die.
00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:13.240
You gone die.
00:18:14.210 --> 00:18:16.120
Not once was I ever afraid,
00:18:16.120 --> 00:18:18.220
not one time.
00:18:21.050 --> 00:18:22.080
Fear can jump on you because
00:18:26.150 --> 00:18:28.280
you consider everything that will be left behind.
00:18:32.070 --> 00:18:36.090
How's my wife gone make it?
00:18:37.230 --> 00:18:39.190
How are my children gone make it?
00:18:39.190 --> 00:18:40.270
God, I can't die.
00:18:40.270 --> 00:18:42.210
All you're doing is increasing the stress and worry, right?
00:18:42.210 --> 00:18:46.260
My house isn't taken care of.
00:18:50.140 --> 00:18:51.240
I don't have that kind of stuff in place.
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:54.260
I can't die, Lord.
00:18:54.260 --> 00:18:55.280
I can't die please, Jesus.
00:18:55.280 --> 00:18:58.030
Who gone take care of my kids?
00:19:00.170 --> 00:19:02.050
I sat there and I went through my entire life
00:19:02.050 --> 00:19:06.150
as it relates to responsibility.
00:19:06.150 --> 00:19:09.040
I said, man,
00:19:09.040 --> 00:19:10.030
if I die then,
00:19:12.140 --> 00:19:13.190
life won't change other than I'm not being there.
00:19:16.130 --> 00:19:20.150
My house and family's gone go on
00:19:21.170 --> 00:19:24.090
just like they have been.
00:19:25.070 --> 00:19:27.220
My kids are all grown and out of the house.
00:19:27.220 --> 00:19:31.160
Then Paul wasn't helping.
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:33.190
I'm going through the scripture Paul says,
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.190
"To die is to gain."
00:19:37.190 --> 00:19:40.110
I'm thinking, yeah, that's true.
00:19:40.110 --> 00:19:43.010
Then he would say but to live is for Christ,
00:19:43.010 --> 00:19:47.110
which helped me settle a lot of things
00:19:47.110 --> 00:19:49.270
about why I'm here.
00:19:49.270 --> 00:19:51.140
'Cause I promise you there's nothing in this world
00:19:53.060 --> 00:19:56.140
that I want other than to fulfill my purpose and plan.
00:19:56.140 --> 00:20:00.190
There's some who are so attached to this world
00:20:02.080 --> 00:20:05.010
and the world goods
00:20:05.010 --> 00:20:06.210
that fear will grip them in the event
00:20:07.270 --> 00:20:10.080
that something of a catastrophe would happen
00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:13.200
because you attached to your stuff,
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:15.200
and you're wondering what's gone happen.
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:19.190
My hope is built
00:20:19.190 --> 00:20:21.020
on nothing less than Jesus blood
00:20:22.230 --> 00:20:25.050
and his righteousness.
00:20:25.050 --> 00:20:26.110
I promise you.
00:20:26.110 --> 00:20:27.190
I promise you one of the only things
00:20:27.190 --> 00:20:29.090
I was concerned about is like
00:20:29.090 --> 00:20:31.060
man, if I die Dee Dee them cats in that church
00:20:31.060 --> 00:20:35.200
them some real brothers man.
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:36.280
They gone step to my wife.
00:20:36.280 --> 00:20:38.120
I can see some of them now like,
00:20:38.120 --> 00:20:40.180
"Now Dee Dee.
00:20:40.180 --> 00:20:41.210
- [Congregant] How you girl?
00:20:43.170 --> 00:20:44.230
- How you doing?
00:20:44.230 --> 00:20:46.030
Then I got up. I just got up.
00:20:47.180 --> 00:20:49.050
I couldn't take anymore of that.
00:20:49.050 --> 00:20:50.240
I said I gotta live. I can't die.
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:53.060
(congregation laughing)
00:20:53.060 --> 00:20:55.220
- Just that fast. - Yes.
00:20:55.220 --> 00:20:57.240
Just that fast.
00:20:57.240 --> 00:20:59.020
But the bible says, put it back up,
00:21:01.290 --> 00:21:03.220
one will be on the housetop,
00:21:03.220 --> 00:21:05.190
and his goods are in the house.
00:21:05.190 --> 00:21:06.280
He says don't go back.
00:21:06.280 --> 00:21:08.230
You remember at 9/11 call
00:21:13.150 --> 00:21:16.070
when them planes hit?
00:21:16.070 --> 00:21:18.000
You remember how cellphones were so jammed?
00:21:19.170 --> 00:21:23.040
You couldn't call through.
00:21:24.180 --> 00:21:26.290
People were trying to check on their...
00:21:26.290 --> 00:21:29.020
There was sheer panic and terror
00:21:29.020 --> 00:21:31.240
because I can't get to my loved ones.
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.020
What I'm doing right now
00:21:38.010 --> 00:21:40.070
is what I'm admonishing all of you to be doing at home,
00:21:40.070 --> 00:21:44.230
preparing your house.
00:21:44.230 --> 00:21:46.240
Because in the event of a disaster,
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:50.180
while you're away from your children
00:21:50.180 --> 00:21:53.000
and you've been training them the word of God
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.100
they'll know to look up my mama told me
00:21:56.100 --> 00:21:59.290
to keep my eyes on God.
00:21:59.290 --> 00:22:01.280
Watch this, watch this, look at this.
00:22:03.090 --> 00:22:05.130
Because in that day they'll be on a housetop
00:22:05.130 --> 00:22:07.220
and his goods in there
00:22:07.220 --> 00:22:08.250
don't come down for it.
00:22:08.250 --> 00:22:10.090
You can't run after the stuff to take them away,
00:22:10.090 --> 00:22:13.020
and likewise one will be in the field,
00:22:13.020 --> 00:22:15.280
let him not turn back.
00:22:15.280 --> 00:22:17.170
I got to get back.
00:22:17.170 --> 00:22:18.240
Look what he says remember Lot's wife.
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.010
It's like he's having a discussion
00:22:21.010 --> 00:22:23.180
and he's trying to explain to them
00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:25.100
exactly what he wants them to know.
00:22:25.100 --> 00:22:27.100
Then all of a sudden the very thing
00:22:27.100 --> 00:22:29.100
that he can get them to see,
00:22:29.100 --> 00:22:30.260
what he's been talking about,
00:22:30.260 --> 00:22:32.130
is remember Lot's wife.
00:22:32.130 --> 00:22:34.020
What happened to Lot's wife?
00:22:34.020 --> 00:22:35.180
While she was coming out of Sodom,
00:22:35.180 --> 00:22:38.150
her heart was still back in Sodom.
00:22:39.180 --> 00:22:42.250
She looked back and God told her don't look back.
00:22:42.250 --> 00:22:45.280
She turned into a pillar of salt.
00:22:45.280 --> 00:22:48.000
He said remember that?
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:49.260
Watch this.
00:22:49.260 --> 00:22:51.080
Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it.
00:22:51.080 --> 00:22:54.270
Whoever will lose his life will what?
00:22:54.270 --> 00:22:57.280
Save it.
00:22:57.280 --> 00:22:58.230
I tell you
00:23:01.090 --> 00:23:02.040
in the night there will be two men in one bed.
00:23:03.280 --> 00:23:07.230
Watch this.
00:23:09.050 --> 00:23:10.000
One will be taken away.
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:11.100
The other will be what?
00:23:11.100 --> 00:23:12.240
- Left. - Watch this one.
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:14.070
Two women will be grinding.
00:23:14.070 --> 00:23:16.080
(congregation laughing)
00:23:16.080 --> 00:23:19.180
Y'all don't see that?
00:23:25.060 --> 00:23:26.280
Two women will be grinding together
00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:31.220
and that's supposed to be mill out in the field.
00:23:31.220 --> 00:23:35.220
It's amazing how you can take scripture and change it.
00:23:37.290 --> 00:23:41.040
The one will be taken and the other left.
00:23:41.040 --> 00:23:44.290
Two men will be in the field.
00:23:44.290 --> 00:23:47.200
The one will be taken and the other will be left.
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:50.280
Turn to your neighbor say I am not
00:23:50.280 --> 00:23:53.040
gone be the one that's gone be left.
00:23:53.040 --> 00:23:56.040
They answered and said to him, "Where, Lord?"
00:23:59.110 --> 00:24:02.280
So he said to them, watch this
00:24:02.280 --> 00:24:05.130
"Wherever the body is,
00:24:05.130 --> 00:24:07.080
"there the eagles will be gathered together."
00:24:08.210 --> 00:24:12.160
What are you saying?
00:24:14.110 --> 00:24:16.010
If you ever depart from your kids one morning
00:24:17.150 --> 00:24:21.270
and all Hell hits this Earth,
00:24:21.270 --> 00:24:24.120
you won't have to be concerned about your kids.
00:24:26.280 --> 00:24:31.150
Because you have trained them and taught them
00:24:31.150 --> 00:24:33.270
to rely on God.
00:24:33.270 --> 00:24:35.290
At that moment because they know Jesus
00:24:35.290 --> 00:24:38.260
like you know Jesus
00:24:38.260 --> 00:24:40.280
the eagle in them is gone come out of them
00:24:40.280 --> 00:24:44.140
and we gone take wings.
00:24:44.140 --> 00:24:46.080
Come on, Brittany, you hearing what I'm saying?
00:24:46.080 --> 00:24:48.000
'Cause you got little babies.
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:49.230
It's parents who got little babies and loved ones
00:24:49.230 --> 00:24:53.040
that's gone fear the most.
00:24:53.040 --> 00:24:54.230
You can rest God thank you
00:24:54.230 --> 00:24:57.240
that the seed of the righteous are delivered.
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:01.210
(congregation cheering)
00:25:01.210 --> 00:25:05.160
You won't have to fear when chaos...
00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:08.130

Don't wait until tragedy hit.
00:25:15.210 --> 00:25:18.240

00:25:44.070 --> 00:25:45.030
"as it relates to any kind of business protocol.
00:25:45.090 --> 00:25:48.050
"I didn't want you to feel that I was disrespecting you
00:25:48.050 --> 00:25:50.140
"in any way, but ma'am, I stopped caring
