- Today, on Living by Faith...
- 00:00:33.010 --> 00:00:34.120
- The Bible says, oh say, she's goin' to the Bible,
- 00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:35.130
- she goin' to the Bible, the Bible says, whatsoever,
- 00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:39.230
- say whatsoever. - Whatsoever.
- 00:00:39.230 --> 00:00:41.160
- - Whatsoever we don't like here on this earth, bind it.
- 00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:45.210
- What we like in the heavens, loosen.
- 00:00:47.030 --> 00:00:50.030
- Where did the power start?
- 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.150
- It started in the earth.
- 00:00:53.150 --> 00:00:55.150
- that He is the way, that He has already made the way.
- 00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:00.270
- No, no, I know that sounds good, and that's like
- 00:01:03.050 --> 00:01:05.270
- yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but I need you to give revelation of
- 00:01:05.270 --> 00:01:10.020
- that you don't have to look for a way
- 00:01:11.100 --> 00:01:14.160
- when you're going through something,
- 00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:17.140
- you don't have to expect Him to make a way,
- 00:01:17.140 --> 00:01:21.230
- because the way has already been made.
- 00:01:21.230 --> 00:01:25.130
- The Bible says that Jesus is the,
- 00:01:25.130 --> 00:01:28.060
- - [Congregation] Way.
- 00:01:29.240 --> 00:01:31.220
- - So when you're singin' this song, you gotta realize
- 00:01:31.220 --> 00:01:36.010
- that all I gotta do is get in the way.
- 00:01:36.010 --> 00:01:39.230
- I have to just get in the way
- 00:01:39.230 --> 00:01:42.100
- that has already been made for me.
- 00:01:42.100 --> 00:01:45.050
- (congregation cheering in agreement)
- 00:01:46.100 --> 00:01:48.250
- Like when my health is failin',
- 00:01:48.250 --> 00:01:51.010
- and all Hell is breakin' loose, I have to realize
- 00:01:51.010 --> 00:01:55.160
- that my life, Debbie, is not an emergency,
- 00:01:55.160 --> 00:01:59.090
- that God has already created the way.
- 00:01:59.090 --> 00:02:02.140
- All I have to know that He is a way maker,
- 00:02:04.190 --> 00:02:08.040
- a miracle worker, that He's already made it, sing it, y'all.
- 00:02:09.160 --> 00:02:13.240
- Promise keeper
- 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.200
- Light in the darkness
- 00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:18.070
- My God
- 00:02:18.070 --> 00:02:19.230
- That is who You are
- 00:02:19.230 --> 00:02:22.280
- Woah
- 00:02:23.270 --> 00:02:26.090
- Way maker
- 00:02:26.090 --> 00:02:27.240
- Miracle worker
- 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.220
- Promise keeper
- 00:02:29.220 --> 00:02:31.230
- Light in the darkness
- 00:02:31.230 --> 00:02:34.090
- My God
- 00:02:34.090 --> 00:02:35.250
- That is who You are
- 00:02:35.250 --> 00:02:39.000
- - But there's a scripture, 1 Corinthians 10:13,
- 00:02:40.110 --> 00:02:44.180
- it talks about that way like God has already made that way.
- 00:02:44.180 --> 00:02:48.230
- Before you were ever even thought of,
- 00:02:51.100 --> 00:02:54.030
- before you were created, before your parents got together,
- 00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:58.080
- God went to the end of your life,
- 00:02:59.130 --> 00:03:02.020
- and He made a way for you.
- 00:03:02.290 --> 00:03:05.040
- No, no, you gotta see this.
- 00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:09.240
- Pastor Mike did this illustration, come here, come here,
- 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:13.290
- and then when I show you the scripture
- 00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:16.170
- you really gonna kinda get it.
- 00:03:16.170 --> 00:03:18.170
- I need you to go because you're havin' challenges,
- 00:03:18.170 --> 00:03:22.170
- and you're goin' through all kinda stuff,
- 00:03:22.170 --> 00:03:25.020
- but somethin' is followin' her.
- 00:03:25.020 --> 00:03:27.190
- I know you think it's just mercy and grace,
- 00:03:27.190 --> 00:03:30.080
- and your angels and all, but look, your way
- 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.230
- is already there, your way is following your challenges,
- 00:03:33.230 --> 00:03:37.280
- your way is right here with you,
- 00:03:39.170 --> 00:03:42.160
- your way doesn't have to be created,
- 00:03:42.160 --> 00:03:45.160
- look, this is the way.
- 00:03:47.110 --> 00:03:49.080
- Yeah, uh huh, I know, I know, I know, I know,
- 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.070
- I know you see this.
- 00:03:51.070 --> 00:03:52.210
- The scripture in 1 Corinthians 10:13, let's look at this.
- 00:03:52.210 --> 00:03:56.260
- You stay right there, 'cause I need you
- 00:03:58.020 --> 00:03:59.130
- to be that way again.
- 00:03:59.130 --> 00:04:01.230
- It says, let's read it together.
- 00:04:01.230 --> 00:04:04.160
- - No temptations. - Say no temptations.
- 00:04:04.160 --> 00:04:07.010
- - [Congregation] No temptations.
- 00:04:07.010 --> 00:04:08.220
- - Keep goin'.
- 00:04:08.220 --> 00:04:09.290
- - [Congregation] Hath overtaken you
- 00:04:09.290 --> 00:04:11.260
- except such as common to man.
- 00:04:11.260 --> 00:04:14.080
- But God is faithful.
- 00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:17.000
- - But God is what? - Faithful.
- 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.070
- - But God is what? - Faithful!
- 00:04:19.070 --> 00:04:21.170
- - We shoulda shouted right here that no way,
- 00:04:21.170 --> 00:04:25.250
- no temptation has overtaken you,
- 00:04:25.250 --> 00:04:29.090
- because no temptation has the authority, or the right,
- 00:04:29.090 --> 00:04:33.130
- to overtake you.
- 00:04:35.070 --> 00:04:36.170
- Come on, but then it says, no temptation has overtaken you,
- 00:04:39.030 --> 00:04:43.080
- except such as common to man.
- 00:04:44.050 --> 00:04:47.090
- What you're goin' through isn't new,
- 00:04:47.090 --> 00:04:51.020
- what you are experiencing isn't something that just happened
- 00:04:51.020 --> 00:04:55.190
- today for you, everything that you are goin' through,
- 00:04:55.190 --> 00:04:59.240
- somebody else has already been through.
- 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.020
- So that means that what challenge or what problem you have,
- 00:05:06.180 --> 00:05:10.140
- the solution has already been created.
- 00:05:10.140 --> 00:05:13.190
- What our problem is, we focus on our problem,
- 00:05:15.130 --> 00:05:19.050
- or the trials and the tribulations more than we do the way.
- 00:05:21.200 --> 00:05:26.130
- (audience cheering in agreement)
- 00:05:26.130 --> 00:05:28.180
- Come on, but God is what? - Faithful.
- 00:05:28.180 --> 00:05:32.040
- - God is faithful.
- 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:33.180
- We serve a faithful God.
- 00:05:35.050 --> 00:05:37.210
- Yeah, I know you're standing up,
- 00:05:37.210 --> 00:05:39.090
- and you wanna know where all this is goin',
- 00:05:39.090 --> 00:05:41.040
- and you're tryin' to figure me out,
- 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.060
- but we have already declared this month
- 00:05:43.060 --> 00:05:46.000
- as the month of worshipers.
- 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.200
- Are there any worshipers in the house?
- 00:05:48.200 --> 00:05:52.180
- Come on, are there any worshipers, come on.
- 00:05:52.180 --> 00:05:55.280
- (congregation cheering and applauding)
- 00:05:55.280 --> 00:05:57.130
- My God
- 00:05:57.130 --> 00:05:58.240
- That is who you are
- 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:02.010
- A way maker
- 00:06:03.140 --> 00:06:04.270
- Way maker
- 00:06:04.270 --> 00:06:06.160
- Miracle worker
- 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:07.260
- He's a promise keeper
- 00:06:07.260 --> 00:06:09.230
- He's a light
- 00:06:09.230 --> 00:06:10.190
- Light in the darkness
- 00:06:10.190 --> 00:06:12.280
- My God
- 00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:14.080
- That is who You are
- 00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:16.010
- You're faithful, that's who You are
- 00:06:16.010 --> 00:06:18.150
- Say way maker
- 00:06:18.150 --> 00:06:20.120
- Way maker
- 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.260
- Miracle worker
- 00:06:21.260 --> 00:06:24.000
- Promise keeper
- 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:25.220
- Light in the darkness
- 00:06:25.220 --> 00:06:27.260
- I don't have to be afraid
- 00:06:27.260 --> 00:06:29.210
- That is who You are
- 00:06:29.210 --> 00:06:31.210
- That is who You are
- 00:06:31.210 --> 00:06:33.150
- That is who You are, way maker
- 00:06:33.150 --> 00:06:35.260
- Way maker
- 00:06:35.260 --> 00:06:37.120
- Miracle worker
- 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:38.150
- You keep Your promises, Jesus
- 00:06:38.150 --> 00:06:41.020
- Light in the darkness
- 00:06:41.020 --> 00:06:43.010
- My God
- 00:06:43.010 --> 00:06:44.290
- That is who You are
- 00:06:44.290 --> 00:06:48.240
- Go back to the scripture.
- 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.260
- Go, go back, go past that.
- 00:06:52.100 --> 00:06:54.150
- Who will not allow you,
- 00:06:58.050 --> 00:07:00.040
- who will not allow you
- 00:07:03.270 --> 00:07:05.220
- to be tempted, tested, or tried beyond what you are able.
- 00:07:08.050 --> 00:07:12.100
- Wait, you know, pastors, they preach this message,
- 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.290
- and this is where they get that God won't put on you
- 00:07:21.130 --> 00:07:25.120
- more than you can bear,
- 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.110
- this is that scripture that they use,
- 00:07:27.110 --> 00:07:29.280
- but that does not say God will not put on you
- 00:07:29.280 --> 00:07:33.190
- more than you can bear, it says, who will not allow,
- 00:07:35.070 --> 00:07:39.230
- some translations say suffer, who will not allow you
- 00:07:39.230 --> 00:07:44.190
- to be tempted above what you, what you are able.
- 00:07:44.190 --> 00:07:48.190
- So that simply means, what I am presently goin' through
- 00:07:52.110 --> 00:07:56.160
- doesn't have the power or the wherewithal to take me out.
- 00:07:58.230 --> 00:08:03.000
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:08:04.290 --> 00:08:06.240
- No, that's somethin' you should worship God for right there.
- 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.260
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:08:09.260 --> 00:08:13.060
- Are there any worshipers in the house?
- 00:08:14.070 --> 00:08:16.230
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:08:16.230 --> 00:08:17.280
- Come on!
- 00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:18.230
- Way maker
- 00:08:20.010 --> 00:08:21.110
- Way maker
- 00:08:21.110 --> 00:08:22.230
- Miracle worker
- 00:08:22.230 --> 00:08:24.030
- You've already done it
- 00:08:24.030 --> 00:08:26.020
- Yeah
- 00:08:26.020 --> 00:08:26.270
- Light in darkness
- 00:08:26.270 --> 00:08:28.160
- You're so faithful
- 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:30.040
- You're so faithful
- 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.140
- That's who You are
- 00:08:32.140 --> 00:08:33.240
- That's who You are
- 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.060
- Say way maker
- 00:08:35.060 --> 00:08:37.200
- Oh
- 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.170
- You're a promise keeper
- 00:08:39.170 --> 00:08:41.130
- Say I'm the light
- 00:08:41.130 --> 00:08:42.130
- Light in the darkness
- 00:08:42.130 --> 00:08:43.190
- Say my God
- 00:08:43.190 --> 00:08:44.180
- My God
- 00:08:44.180 --> 00:08:46.010
- That is who You are
- 00:08:46.010 --> 00:08:47.250
- Say that is who You are
- 00:08:47.250 --> 00:08:51.120
- Say that is who You are
- 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:55.050
- Say that is who You are
- 00:08:55.050 --> 00:08:58.180
- That's who we know You to be
- 00:08:58.180 --> 00:09:01.050
- And that is who You are
- 00:09:01.050 --> 00:09:03.280
- Come on and sing it with us
- 00:09:03.280 --> 00:09:06.190
- Say that is who You are
- 00:09:06.190 --> 00:09:08.260
- That is who You are
- 00:09:08.260 --> 00:09:10.240
- Faithful is who You are
- 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:12.220
- That is who You are
- 00:09:12.220 --> 00:09:15.270
- When Pastor Mike was in that hospital,
- 00:09:17.030 --> 00:09:20.080
- in the ICU, do you think I stayed focused on
- 00:09:21.180 --> 00:09:25.080
- what my trial and tribulation was,
- 00:09:28.060 --> 00:09:31.210
- or did you think I'd look to find out
- 00:09:31.210 --> 00:09:34.220
- what that way of escape happened to be?
- 00:09:36.140 --> 00:09:39.210
- If I would've stayed focused
- 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.270
- on the trial and the tribulation,
- 00:09:43.270 --> 00:09:47.030
- it would have become bigger than the way of escape.
- 00:09:47.030 --> 00:09:51.170
- Now listen, that's why the Bible, in Psalms 34 says
- 00:09:51.170 --> 00:09:56.080
- to O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt.
- 00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:00.080
- When you magnify God, He becomes bigger
- 00:10:03.140 --> 00:10:06.220
- than every problem, than every situation,
- 00:10:08.260 --> 00:10:12.080
- that you will ever go through.
- 00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:16.000
- I know when you come in here sometimes
- 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.270
- you may not feel like raising your hand,
- 00:10:18.270 --> 00:10:22.070
- you may not feel like bowin' before Him,
- 00:10:23.110 --> 00:10:26.250
- you may not even feel like the person next you
- 00:10:26.250 --> 00:10:30.090
- goin' through all of that.
- 00:10:30.090 --> 00:10:32.040
- But if you would just have revelation that He is the,
- 00:10:32.040 --> 00:10:37.010
- Miracle worker
- 00:10:37.010 --> 00:10:38.200
- Promise keeper
- 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.180
- Light in the darkness
- 00:10:40.180 --> 00:10:42.290
- My God
- 00:10:42.290 --> 00:10:44.240
- That is who You are
- 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:46.040
- Come on, let's get it in our spirit
- 00:10:46.040 --> 00:10:48.090
- Come on and rock with us and say way maker
- 00:10:48.090 --> 00:10:50.230
- Way maker
- 00:10:50.230 --> 00:10:51.210
- Say He's a miracle worker
- 00:10:51.210 --> 00:10:53.180
- Let's see you move in Jesus
- 00:10:53.180 --> 00:10:55.160
- Hey
- 00:10:55.160 --> 00:10:56.110
- Light in the darkness
- 00:10:56.110 --> 00:10:58.180
- My God
- 00:10:58.180 --> 00:11:00.090
- That's who You are
- 00:11:00.090 --> 00:11:01.170
- Come on, let's say that's who You are
- 00:11:01.170 --> 00:11:04.030
- That is who You are
- 00:11:04.030 --> 00:11:07.180
- That is who You are
- 00:11:07.180 --> 00:11:09.130
- Say that is who You are
- 00:11:09.130 --> 00:11:11.130
- That is who You Are
- 00:11:11.130 --> 00:11:13.110
- I don't have to fear
- 00:11:13.110 --> 00:11:16.260
- 'Cause that's who You are
- 00:11:16.260 --> 00:11:20.060
- You're a faithful God
- 00:11:20.060 --> 00:11:24.010
- You're a trustworthy God
- 00:11:24.010 --> 00:11:26.210
- Light in the darkness
- 00:11:26.210 --> 00:11:28.190
- My God
- 00:11:28.190 --> 00:11:29.270
- Quick, quick, put the scripture back.
- 00:11:29.270 --> 00:11:32.270
- Just leave that scripture up there.
- 00:11:32.270 --> 00:11:36.050
- Who will not allow you to be tempted
- 00:11:36.050 --> 00:11:38.240
- beyond what you are able.
- 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:40.260
- But, say but. - But.
- 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:43.260
- - This is a big but, as Pastor Mike would say,
- 00:11:45.010 --> 00:11:48.190
- but with, say with. - With.
- 00:11:49.190 --> 00:11:51.200
- - The temptation will also make
- 00:11:53.010 --> 00:11:55.180
- the way of escape.
- 00:11:58.050 --> 00:11:59.260
- (congregation cheering in agreement)
- 00:11:59.260 --> 00:12:02.250
- This scripture has so many different elements in it,
- 00:12:02.250 --> 00:12:06.280
- like really, if we can just really get a glimpse of this,
- 00:12:06.280 --> 00:12:10.180
- and understand just this one scripture,
- 00:12:10.180 --> 00:12:13.170
- anything that you are faced with in life
- 00:12:13.170 --> 00:12:16.130
- would be like nothing.
- 00:12:16.130 --> 00:12:18.080
- Because, wait a minute God, You're telling me
- 00:12:19.230 --> 00:12:23.150
- that what I'm goin' through, that I'm not the only one
- 00:12:23.150 --> 00:12:27.200
- that has ever gone through this?
- 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:30.080
- And then you gonna tell me that You said in Your Word
- 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.110
- that I'm able to bear this?
- 00:12:33.110 --> 00:12:35.180
- When I feel like I'm about to lose my mind,
- 00:12:36.230 --> 00:12:40.100
- when I feel like I am about to go off
- 00:12:40.100 --> 00:12:43.090
- if they say one more thing to me?
- 00:12:43.090 --> 00:12:46.020
- When the doctors are givin' me a bad report?
- 00:12:47.060 --> 00:12:50.100
- You're tellin' me that I am able to handle
- 00:12:50.100 --> 00:12:53.250
- whatever is in my life?
- 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.180
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:12:57.290 --> 00:13:01.150
- And then You goin' and talk about how faithful You are,
- 00:13:01.150 --> 00:13:05.180
- how faithful are You, God?
- 00:13:05.180 --> 00:13:08.120
- Well look, if the Bible says that He will not allow you
- 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:13.020
- to be tempted above what you are able,
- 00:13:13.020 --> 00:13:16.070
- that simply means that He had to inspect it
- 00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:20.240
- before it got to your life.
- 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.270
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:13:22.270 --> 00:13:25.010
- I'm lovin' this, I'm lovin' this.
- 00:13:25.010 --> 00:13:27.240
- He had to see it before it got to you.
- 00:13:28.280 --> 00:13:32.020
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:13:33.070 --> 00:13:35.160
- So like when Satan came to say, okay,
- 00:13:35.160 --> 00:13:38.190
- I'm gonna throw this at him, God, He looked at it,
- 00:13:40.020 --> 00:13:44.230
- and He said, oh yeah, they can't handle that right now.
- 00:13:44.230 --> 00:13:49.000
- Then He come, He'd check out someone else.
- 00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:51.280
- Oh, okay, that's what you wanna throw at him,
- 00:13:51.280 --> 00:13:53.230
- go ahead, they got it.
- 00:13:53.230 --> 00:13:55.080
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:57.090
- It's like bein' in a fistfight.
- 00:13:57.090 --> 00:14:00.110
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:14:00.110 --> 00:14:02.290
- Listen, it's like bein' in a fistfight.
- 00:14:02.290 --> 00:14:06.060
- I don't know about you, but I got two brothers,
- 00:14:09.130 --> 00:14:12.290
- and my big brother knew when the little ones
- 00:14:12.290 --> 00:14:16.050
- could handle a fight.
- 00:14:16.050 --> 00:14:18.110
- So my big brother would just go and just show up,
- 00:14:18.110 --> 00:14:22.040
- and my little brother would stand and go at it
- 00:14:22.040 --> 00:14:25.280
- without the participation of my big brother.
- 00:14:25.280 --> 00:14:30.080
- But my big brother was there just in case.
- 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.210
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:14:33.210 --> 00:14:37.010
- So when it looks like it's about to take you out,
- 00:14:40.060 --> 00:14:44.080
- and it looks like you can't handle it,
- 00:14:45.130 --> 00:14:48.130
- you've gotta remember that your big brother
- 00:14:48.130 --> 00:14:52.010
- is standin' right there.
- 00:14:52.010 --> 00:14:53.270
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:14:53.270 --> 00:14:54.220
- Miracle worker
- 00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:56.050
- Promise keeper
- 00:14:56.050 --> 00:14:58.010
- Light in the darkness
- 00:14:58.010 --> 00:15:00.110
- My God
- 00:15:00.110 --> 00:15:01.270
- That is who You are
- 00:15:01.270 --> 00:15:03.220
- That's who You are, Jesus
- 00:15:03.220 --> 00:15:05.250
- Yeah
- 00:15:05.250 --> 00:15:08.090
- Way maker
- 00:15:08.090 --> 00:15:09.190
- Miracle worker
- 00:15:09.190 --> 00:15:10.270
- We serve an able God
- 00:15:10.270 --> 00:15:13.090
- Light in the darkness
- 00:15:13.090 --> 00:15:14.170
- You're the light in the darkness
- 00:15:14.170 --> 00:15:16.130
- My God
- 00:15:16.130 --> 00:15:17.100
- That is who You are
- 00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:18.220
- My faithful God, that's who You are
- 00:15:18.220 --> 00:15:22.210
- That is who You are
- 00:15:22.210 --> 00:15:24.140
- Miracle worker
- 00:15:24.140 --> 00:15:26.060
- That is who You are
- 00:15:26.060 --> 00:15:28.040
- Light in the darkness
- 00:15:28.040 --> 00:15:30.010
- That's who You've been
- 00:15:30.010 --> 00:15:31.280
- That is who You are
- 00:15:31.280 --> 00:15:33.200
- That is who You are
- 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.200
- That is who You are
- 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.000
- Come here, Stacy.
- 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.010
- But this is the thing, He says that
- 00:15:41.010 --> 00:15:44.060
- He'll give us a way of escape, right Joy?
- 00:15:44.060 --> 00:15:47.240
- He'll give us that way.
- 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:49.210
- But the problem is, we read that scripture,
- 00:15:49.210 --> 00:15:52.050
- we think God is the one who threw in the test,
- 00:15:52.050 --> 00:15:55.120
- or the trial, or the tribulation, so we think
- 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:59.080
- we gotta deal with this.
- 00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:02.050
- But that's a done deal, He know you can handle that.
- 00:16:02.050 --> 00:16:06.100
- What He wants you to do is just turn and just
- 00:16:07.170 --> 00:16:11.070
- look at the way.
- 00:16:11.070 --> 00:16:12.170
- What is the way, God? - Come on, come on.
- 00:16:14.050 --> 00:16:17.150
- - This is nothing, the test, the trial,
- 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:23.070
- the temptations that you're going through, they're nothing.
- 00:16:25.030 --> 00:16:29.250
- What you need to focus on is this way.
- 00:16:29.250 --> 00:16:33.000
- Jesus, I told you, is the way, He's the truth,
- 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:38.190
- and He's the light, all we gotta do is find that way.
- 00:16:40.050 --> 00:16:44.100
- And I submit to you today that the way,
- 00:16:45.160 --> 00:16:48.160
- at least one of the ways
- 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.050
- of you gettin' out of your challenge, Donise, is worship.
- 00:16:52.050 --> 00:16:56.100
- Come on.
- 00:16:57.090 --> 00:16:58.040
- Worship is a way, we have emotional lives,
- 00:16:59.090 --> 00:17:02.190
- church and comin' and worship so long
- 00:17:05.210 --> 00:17:09.110
- that we don't even know that all we gotta do
- 00:17:09.110 --> 00:17:12.030
- is lift up our hands, and open up our mouths,
- 00:17:12.030 --> 00:17:16.010
- and position our hearts to receive
- 00:17:16.010 --> 00:17:19.010
- everything that God has for us.
- 00:17:19.010 --> 00:17:21.140
- It's not about how you feel,
- 00:17:21.140 --> 00:17:23.240
- it's not about what you're going through.
- 00:17:24.290 --> 00:17:28.010
- You may not feel like liftin' up your hands,
- 00:17:28.010 --> 00:17:31.060
- but since I know that worship is a way of escape for me,
- 00:17:31.060 --> 00:17:35.090
- I'm gon' give it up.
- 00:17:37.130 --> 00:17:39.130
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:17:39.130 --> 00:17:41.160
- In every heart
- 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:44.090
- I worship You
- 00:17:45.040 --> 00:17:47.160
- That's what we do, Jesus
- 00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:50.210
- We open up our mouth
- 00:17:50.210 --> 00:17:52.180
- We lift up our hands
- 00:17:52.180 --> 00:17:54.130
- Because the King is here
- 00:17:54.130 --> 00:17:57.230
- We know You can do it, Jesus
- 00:17:57.230 --> 00:18:01.140
- We worship You, Jesus
- 00:18:01.140 --> 00:18:05.030
- We worship You, Father
- 00:18:05.030 --> 00:18:07.000
- Hey
- 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:08.030
- You are here
- 00:18:08.030 --> 00:18:09.120
- There's nothin' like bein' in Your presence
- 00:18:09.120 --> 00:18:12.230
- I can do it when I'm in Your presence
- 00:18:12.230 --> 00:18:16.230
- And I worship You Jesus, yes I do
- 00:18:16.230 --> 00:18:19.140
- I worship You
- 00:18:19.140 --> 00:18:20.240
- Alleluia
- 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:23.170
- You are here
- 00:18:23.170 --> 00:18:26.110
- Turnin' lives around
- 00:18:26.110 --> 00:18:28.110
- Whatever you need Him to do
- 00:18:28.110 --> 00:18:32.110
- I open up my mouth
- 00:18:32.110 --> 00:18:34.240
- I worship You
- 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.140
- You are here
- 00:18:38.110 --> 00:18:40.270
- Turning lives
- 00:18:40.270 --> 00:18:41.280
- Mending every heart
- 00:18:41.280 --> 00:18:44.150
- You're mending every heart
- 00:18:44.150 --> 00:18:46.050
- I worship You
- 00:18:46.050 --> 00:18:48.010
- There's nothing else for me to do
- 00:18:48.010 --> 00:18:49.160
- But worship
- 00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:51.190
- When I don't understand I do worship
- 00:18:51.190 --> 00:18:55.140
- The King of glory is here
- 00:18:55.140 --> 00:18:58.160
- The King of glory is here
- 00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:01.060
- I worship
- 00:19:01.060 --> 00:19:03.070
- I serve an able God
- 00:19:03.070 --> 00:19:05.020
- I worship You
- 00:19:05.020 --> 00:19:07.220
- You are here
- 00:19:08.250 --> 00:19:10.230
- Yeah
- 00:19:10.230 --> 00:19:11.220
- Mending every heart
- 00:19:11.220 --> 00:19:13.240
- Mending every broken heart
- 00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:17.230
- We receive it, Jesus
- 00:19:17.230 --> 00:19:20.210
- We receive it, Jesus
- 00:19:20.210 --> 00:19:23.290
- And I know I keep talkin' about,
- 00:19:25.100 --> 00:19:27.040
- but a lotta times people always ask
- 00:19:27.040 --> 00:19:29.030
- how did you really get through
- 00:19:29.030 --> 00:19:31.180
- when Pastor Mike was in the hospital?
- 00:19:33.030 --> 00:19:36.060
- It's like they want something else other than the Word,
- 00:19:36.060 --> 00:19:40.110
- or what I did.
- 00:19:41.280 --> 00:19:43.030
- Like come on, you had to feel something,
- 00:19:44.120 --> 00:19:47.220
- you had to, I don't know,
- 00:19:49.080 --> 00:19:51.100
- click your heels three times
- 00:19:54.250 --> 00:19:56.100
- and it was over, you had to, you had to pop a pill
- 00:19:56.100 --> 00:20:00.150
- to be able to go to sleep, you had to get some Xanax,
- 00:20:01.290 --> 00:20:06.210
- is that what it's called, to calm your nerves,
- 00:20:06.210 --> 00:20:10.100
- did the priest come in and lay hands on you?
- 00:20:10.100 --> 00:20:14.000
- But no, all I did was stayed in worship,
- 00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:18.000
- I promise you that's all I did,
- 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.170
- because in His presence, and listen,
- 00:20:21.190 --> 00:20:24.190
- I don't have to create His presence,
- 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:29.160
- I don't even have to enter into His presence,
- 00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.260
- because I live in His presence.
- 00:20:32.260 --> 00:20:35.140
- So when I wanna worship, when I wanna lift my hands,
- 00:20:36.260 --> 00:20:40.190
- I don't have to go to another place,
- 00:20:41.250 --> 00:20:45.030
- all I have to do is to remain faithful in where I am,
- 00:20:45.030 --> 00:20:49.090
- and lift my hands, and give Him praise and adoration,
- 00:20:49.090 --> 00:20:53.110
- and let Him know how much I trust Him,
- 00:20:53.110 --> 00:20:56.210
- how much I believe His Word,
- 00:20:56.210 --> 00:20:59.020
- how much I know that He's gonna do and manifest
