00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:50.070
JOURNEY THAT WE HAVE TAKEN, AND
00:00:50.070 --> 00:00:52.110

00:00:52.230 --> 00:00:55.230

00:00:56.260 --> 00:00:59.180
MORE TIME.
00:00:59.180 --> 00:01:01.030
PASTOR JOHN HANNAH.
00:01:01.030 --> 00:01:03.270
JUST FOR THOSE TO JUST KIND OF
00:01:03.270 --> 00:01:06.220
GIVE A HISTORY, PASTOR JOHN, OF
00:01:07.070 --> 00:01:10.070
HIS RELATIONSHIP AND THE GENESIS
00:01:10.070 --> 00:01:11.020
OF ALL THAT?
00:01:11.020 --> 00:01:12.000
- IT'S AMAZING HOW WE BOTH
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.110
STARTED OUT DOING YOUTH MINISTRY
00:01:14.110 --> 00:01:15.230
WHEN WE FIRST CONNECTENED.
00:01:15.230 --> 00:01:16.280
I WAS DOING A CONFERENCE IN
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.150
CHICAGO CALLED THE INNER CITY
00:01:18.150 --> 00:01:20.230
YOUTH SPRING BREAK CONFERENCE
00:01:20.230 --> 00:01:22.200
AND TO GO FROM ALL OVER THE CITY
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.190
DURING THE SPRING BREAK TIME, SO
00:01:25.190 --> 00:01:26.280
YOU AND I CONNECTED DURING THAT
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:28.220
TIME BECAUSE WE WERE BOTH DOING
00:01:28.220 --> 00:01:29.280
YOUTH MINISTRY.
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:42.120
- YES, PALESTINE CHURCH.
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.020
AND YOU INVITED ME AND SAID, NOW
00:01:44.220 --> 00:01:47.220
JOHN, YOU'LL BE THE FIRST
00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:50.240
AFRICAN AMERICAN TO EVER PREACH
00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:52.110
AT THIS CHURCH.
00:01:52.110 --> 00:01:54.120
- HOW OLD WAS THAT?
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:55.290
- IT WAS OVER 35 YEARS, SO I
00:01:55.290 --> 00:01:58.090
REMEMBER THERE BEING THERE FOR
00:01:58.090 --> 00:01:59.030
YOUR INSTALLATION, STILL NOT THE
00:01:59.030 --> 00:02:01.020
KNOWING WHAT GOD WAS GOING TO
00:02:01.020 --> 00:02:03.000
DO, AND THEN EVENTUALLY, I WAS
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.070
AT MY CHURCH FOR 19 YEARS, AND
00:02:05.250 --> 00:02:08.250
IN PRAYER, THE LORD SAID TO ME
00:02:08.250 --> 00:02:10.150
LIKE HE SAID TO ABRAHAM, GET
00:02:11.060 --> 00:02:14.060
THEE OUT OF YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:19.280
AND AMONG THY KINDRED, AND IN
00:02:22.130 --> 00:02:25.130
PRAYER, I WAS, LIKE, NO.
00:02:25.130 --> 00:02:26.220
AND IT'S COMPLETELY OUT OF MY
00:02:26.220 --> 00:02:29.090
COMFORT ZONE AND MY WIFE AND I
00:02:29.090 --> 00:02:32.080
WERE THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.240
MEMBERS.
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:36.050
AND I WAS THE FIRST AFRICAN
00:02:36.060 --> 00:02:39.060
AMERICAN PASTOR OF THIS CHURCH
00:02:39.060 --> 00:02:40.290
AND I'LL NEVER FORGET, YOU
00:02:40.290 --> 00:02:42.090
LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, I SEE
00:02:42.090 --> 00:02:44.100
WHAT'S IN YOU.
00:02:44.100 --> 00:02:45.040
I SEE WHAT'S ON YOU.
00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:47.060
IT DOESN'T SCARE ME.
00:02:47.060 --> 00:02:49.130
IT DOESN'T INTIMIDATE ME AND AS
00:02:49.130 --> 00:02:52.120
A MATTER OF FACT, I PLANNED IT.
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.030
AND WHENEVER YOU KNOW THAT GOD
00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:56.110
HAS CALLED YOU TO SOMETHING
00:02:56.110 --> 00:02:58.190
SPECIAL, YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL
00:02:58.190 --> 00:03:00.120
WHO YOU SUBMIT YOUR VISION OR
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.000
YOUR DREAMS TO.
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:04.060
ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS -- THE
00:03:04.060 --> 00:03:06.140
PROBLEM WAS WHEN JOSEPH SHARED
00:03:06.140 --> 00:03:08.080
HIS DREAM WITH HIS BROTHERS, THE
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:09.210
BIBLE SAYS, AND THEY HATED HIM
00:03:09.210 --> 00:03:12.000
THE MORE.
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:12.170
- THAT'S RIGHT.
00:03:12.170 --> 00:03:13.270
- SO YOUR FUTURE CAN CAUSE
00:03:13.270 --> 00:03:15.130
PEOPLE TO HATE YOU AND IF YOU
00:03:15.130 --> 00:03:17.180
CAN'T HANDLE MY PRESENT, WHAT
00:03:17.180 --> 00:03:19.110
ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH MY
00:03:20.140 --> 00:03:23.140
FUTURE?
00:03:23.140 --> 00:03:23.240
[ Cheering and Applause ]
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.210
- BUT YOU MADE ME COMFORTABLE
00:03:26.210 --> 00:03:28.110
ENOUGH TO COME IN AND SUBMIT
00:03:31.230 --> 00:03:34.230
THAT.
00:03:34.230 --> 00:03:35.020
I WAS WITH YOU FOR FOUR YEARS.
00:03:35.020 --> 00:03:37.040
IT TOOK ME TWO YEARS TO JUST
00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:39.010
SUBMIT, BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO
00:03:39.170 --> 00:03:42.170
LAY EVERYTHING DOWN.
00:03:42.170 --> 00:03:43.180
I WAS RELUCTANT.
00:03:43.180 --> 00:03:45.030
AND I REMEMBER PEOPLE WERE
00:03:45.030 --> 00:03:46.200
CALLING SAYING, WE THINK YOU
00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:47.230
WOULD BE GOOD TO COME OVER HERE
00:03:47.230 --> 00:03:49.270
AND INTERVIEW TO BE A PASTOR AND
00:03:49.270 --> 00:03:51.070
YOU WERE SAYING, I JUST DON'T
00:03:51.110 --> 00:03:54.110
FEEL LIKE THIS GUY ... AND I
00:03:54.110 --> 00:03:56.000
WAS, LIKE, WELL, I'M GOING TO
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:57.200
SEE AND I WOULD ALWAYS COME BACK
00:03:57.200 --> 00:03:59.110
AND I NEVER FORGET A SUNDAY YOU
00:03:59.110 --> 00:04:01.100
AND I WERE DOING A DUAL SERMON,
00:04:02.210 --> 00:04:05.210
AND WE WERE PREACHING ABOUT
00:04:05.210 --> 00:04:07.190
MOSES.
00:04:07.190 --> 00:04:07.280
I'LL NEVER FORGET THIS AS LONG
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.080
AS I LIVE.
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.130
WE TALKED ABOUT WHEN GOD SAID,
00:04:11.130 --> 00:04:14.100
THROW THE STAFF ON THE GROUND,
00:04:14.100 --> 00:04:16.070
THAT SUBMISSION AND THE LORD
00:04:16.070 --> 00:04:17.160
SAID TO ME, YOUR MINISTRY RIGHT
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.060
NOW IS THAT STAFF AND I NEED YOU
00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:20.230
TO SUBMIT IT ONSTAGE IN FRONT OF
00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:24.280
EVERYONE AND I WAS, LIKE, NO!
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.000
AND WITH TEARS, I PUT THE STAFF
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.290
AT YOUR FEET AND THEN I KNEELED
00:04:29.290 --> 00:04:32.030
AT YOUR FEET AND SAID FROM THIS
00:04:32.030 --> 00:04:33.190
POINT ON, I SUBMIT MY FUTURE.
00:04:34.200 --> 00:04:37.200
AND WE BOTH WEPT.
00:04:37.230 --> 00:04:40.230
AND DAYS LATER, YOU TOLD ME, I
00:04:40.230 --> 00:04:42.210
WON'T PLANT YOU UNTIL I KNOW YOU
00:04:42.210 --> 00:04:44.000
HAVE A SHEPHERD'S HEART.
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:45.090
- THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.
00:04:45.110 --> 00:04:48.110
WHAT PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND
00:04:48.110 --> 00:04:50.050
IS THAT JOHN WAS A WELL-KNOWN
00:04:50.200 --> 00:04:53.200
EVANGELIST, TRAVELLED THE
00:04:53.200 --> 00:04:55.270
COUNTRY PREACHING, HAD AN
00:04:55.270 --> 00:04:58.150
ITINERARY THAT WAS PACKED.
00:04:58.150 --> 00:04:59.190
WHEN HE CAME TO HUMBLE PARK
00:04:59.190 --> 00:05:01.200
BECAUSE HE LIVED IN THE SOUTH
00:05:01.200 --> 00:05:02.190
SIDE AND GOD BROUGHT HIM TO A
00:05:02.190 --> 00:05:05.080
GROUP OF PUERTO RICANS AND HE
00:05:05.080 --> 00:05:07.160
WAS THE FIRST --
00:05:08.020 --> 00:05:11.020
- AND I ONLY SPOKE ONE
00:05:12.070 --> 00:05:15.070
LANGUAGE, WHICH WAS SPANISH.
00:05:15.070 --> 00:05:16.260
- THAT'S ALL YOU NEED, AND SO
00:05:18.020 --> 00:05:21.020
JOHN COMES WITH ENNA, HIS
00:05:21.020 --> 00:05:23.170
BEAUTIFUL WIFE, AND HE'S THERE
00:05:23.170 --> 00:05:24.090
ON A SUNDAY.
00:05:24.090 --> 00:05:25.030
I'M PREACHING AND I'M SEEING HIM
00:05:25.030 --> 00:05:27.000
OUT IN THE AUDIENCE AND ASKED,
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.240
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.000
AND HE SAID, THE LORD TOLD ME TO
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.280
COME HERE AND SO THERE HE WAS
00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:33.100
FOR TWO YEARS.
00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:34.060
HE GOT THAT PART AND THEN I SAID
00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:35.150
TO JOHN, I SAID, JOHN -- BECAUSE
00:05:35.180 --> 00:05:38.180
HE WOULD PREACH AT OUR CHURCH
00:05:38.180 --> 00:05:40.050
AND IT WAS ALMOST LIKE DROPPING
00:05:40.050 --> 00:05:41.180
BOMBS.
00:05:41.180 --> 00:05:42.020
THAT'S WHAT EVANGELISTS DO.
00:05:42.020 --> 00:05:43.190
THEY COME, THEY DROP THE BOMBS.
00:05:43.190 --> 00:05:45.050
I SAID, JOHN, I'M NOT GOING TO
00:05:45.050 --> 00:05:47.220
PLANT YOU UNTIL YOU HAVE A
00:05:47.220 --> 00:05:49.050
PASTOR'S HEART.
00:05:49.050 --> 00:05:49.200
YOU NEED TO LOVE PEOPLE.
00:05:49.200 --> 00:05:51.130
YOU NEED TO LOVE SHEEP AND KNOW
00:05:51.130 --> 00:05:53.270
WHERE THEY'RE AT.
00:05:53.270 --> 00:05:55.200
AND SO TAKE IT FROM THERE.
00:05:55.200 --> 00:05:57.170
WHAT WAS YOUR ASSIGNMENT?
00:05:57.170 --> 00:05:58.150
BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THE WORLD
00:05:58.150 --> 00:06:00.070
KNOWS WHAT YOU WERE DOING ON A
00:06:00.070 --> 00:06:02.050
THURSDAY NIGHT FOR ONE YEAR.
00:06:02.050 --> 00:06:04.210
- SO I WAS A PROBATION OFFICER.
00:06:04.210 --> 00:06:06.140
- THAT'S RIGHT.
00:06:06.140 --> 00:06:07.240
- AND I HAD A RADIO SHOW.
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.150
AND YOU SAID, YOUR ASSIGNMENT
00:06:10.150 --> 00:06:13.070
MOVING FORWARD IS TO COME TO
00:06:13.070 --> 00:06:15.250
THIS MEN'S SHELTER.
00:06:15.250 --> 00:06:16.260
YOU ARE TO GIVE THEM A
00:06:16.260 --> 00:06:18.190
SEVEN-MINUTE DEVOTION AND THEN
00:06:18.190 --> 00:06:20.100
YOU'RE GOING TO FIX THEM
00:06:20.100 --> 00:06:21.090
SOMETHING TO EAT.
00:06:21.090 --> 00:06:23.120
YOU'RE GOING TO FEED HOMELESS
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:24.260
MEN.
00:06:24.260 --> 00:06:25.040
- THAT'S RIGHT.
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:25.230
- AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO GET
00:06:25.230 --> 00:06:26.260
IN THE VAN AND YOU'RE GOING TO
00:06:26.260 --> 00:06:28.180
DRIVE AROUND HUMBLE PARK AND
00:06:28.180 --> 00:06:30.120
WE'RE GOING TO FIND THE HUNGRY
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.130
AND YOU'RE GOING TO FEED THEM
00:06:32.130 --> 00:06:33.190
AND SHARE THE LOVE OF CHRIST.
00:06:34.250 --> 00:06:37.250
SO EVERY THURSDAY, EVERY
00:06:37.250 --> 00:06:39.210
THURSDAY FOR A FULL YEAR,
00:06:39.250 --> 00:06:42.250
SUMMER, WINTER, YEAR-ROUND, I
00:06:42.250 --> 00:06:44.210
WOULD DRIVE FROM THE SOUTH SIDE.
00:06:44.210 --> 00:06:46.110
SOMETIMES I WOULD BE SO TIRED.
00:06:46.110 --> 00:06:47.210
AND THE SHELTER DIDN'T OPEN UP
00:06:47.210 --> 00:06:50.200
UNTIL, LIKE, 8:30.
00:06:50.200 --> 00:06:52.170
I'D GO IN THE CHURCH, GO ON THE
00:06:52.170 --> 00:06:54.250
BALCONY, AND TAKE A NAP BUT THEN
00:06:54.250 --> 00:06:57.010
BE ON THE POST.
00:06:57.010 --> 00:06:58.140
THE BIBLE SAYS IT'S BETTER TO
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.060
MAKE A VOW THAN NOT TO BREAK IT
00:07:02.060 --> 00:07:04.000
AND IF YOU COMMIT TO SOMETHING,
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.140
YOU NEED TO DO IT REGARDLESS OF
00:07:06.140 --> 00:07:08.120
HOW TIRED YOU ARE, NO EXCUSES,
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.140
SO EVERY THURSDAY AND I COULD BE
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.040
SOMEWHERE PREACHING BUT THE
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:15.200
BREAKDOWN WAS NOW GO IN HERE AND
00:07:15.200 --> 00:07:17.250
PREACH TO WE THE MEN.
00:07:17.250 --> 00:07:19.070
NO, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PREACH
00:07:19.070 --> 00:07:21.080
FOR AN HOUR.
00:07:21.080 --> 00:07:22.110
JUST GIVE THEM A SEVEN-MINUTE
00:07:22.110 --> 00:07:25.020
DEVOTION.
00:07:25.020 --> 00:07:25.230
DISCIPLINE YOURSELF TO SIT THERE
00:07:25.230 --> 00:07:27.000
AND GET OVER HOW THEY SMELL AND
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.030
SIT THERE AND FEED THEM AND TALK
00:07:29.030 --> 00:07:30.090
TO THEM AND LOVE ON THEM.
00:07:30.090 --> 00:07:32.000
NOW GET IN THIS VAN AND LET'S GO
00:07:32.230 --> 00:07:35.230
FIND -- THAT SCENE BEGAN TO
00:07:35.230 --> 00:07:36.230
BREAK ME, COMPLETELY BREAK ME OF
00:07:36.230 --> 00:07:38.270
WHAT I THOUGHT MINISTRY WAS.
00:07:38.270 --> 00:07:41.080
BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE THINK IT'S
00:07:41.080 --> 00:07:43.010
ABOUT BEING IN THE FOUR WALLS OF
00:07:43.010 --> 00:07:44.140
THE CHURCH, STANDING IN THE
00:07:44.140 --> 00:07:46.190
PULPIT, PREACHING A SERMON.
00:07:46.190 --> 00:07:47.290
THAT IS A SMALL PIECE OF THE
00:07:48.190 --> 00:07:51.190
PIE.
00:07:51.190 --> 00:07:51.270
AND I BEGAN TO JUST LOVE ON
00:07:51.270 --> 00:07:54.050
PEOPLE AND I JUST WILL NEVER
00:07:54.050 --> 00:07:56.180
FORGET WHEN GOD BROKE ME AND I
00:07:56.270 --> 00:07:59.270
BEGAN TO LOVE PEOPLE.
00:07:59.270 --> 00:08:00.280
WHEN I SAY LOVE PEOPLE, NOT LOVE
00:08:00.280 --> 00:08:03.050
MY VILLAGE.
00:08:03.050 --> 00:08:03.260
BECAUSE IT'S EASY TO LOVE THOSE
00:08:03.260 --> 00:08:05.100
THAT ARE WITHIN THE FOUR WALLS
00:08:05.100 --> 00:08:07.020
OF THE CHURCH.
00:08:07.020 --> 00:08:08.120
BUT WHEN YOU CAN THROW YOUR ARMS
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.200
AROUND THOSE THAT DON'T LOOK
00:08:10.200 --> 00:08:11.180
LIKE YOU, SMELL LIKE YOU, ACT
00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:13.040
LIKE YOU, DON'T COME FROM YOUR
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.230
BACKGROUND ... [Applause]
00:08:15.230 --> 00:08:17.130
- YEAH, YEAH.
00:08:17.130 --> 00:08:18.080
- AND THEN I HAD A PASSION FOR
00:08:19.060 --> 00:08:22.060
SOULS.
00:08:22.060 --> 00:08:22.150
THEN THE LORD BEGAN TO SHOW ME
00:08:22.150 --> 00:08:25.020
HOW CHARGE BECAME SWAP-A-RAMA.
00:08:25.020 --> 00:08:26.290
HOW WE WOULD ROTATE NUMBERS.
00:08:28.050 --> 00:08:31.050
BUT FORGET THE WALLS.
00:08:32.100 --> 00:08:35.100
THE CHURCH BECAME A GATED
00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:36.150
COMMUNITY BECAUSE IF I BROUGHT
00:08:36.150 --> 00:08:37.240
YOU IN THE GATE, WE MIGHT LOOK
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.150
AT YOU LIKE WHAT ARE YOU DOING
00:08:39.150 --> 00:08:40.240
UP IN HERE?
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.200
SO I WANTED TO TAKE THE GATE OFF
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.060
THE HINGES.
00:08:45.060 --> 00:08:46.150
I SUBMITTED TO THAT PROCESS AND
00:08:46.150 --> 00:08:48.190
NOT UNTIL I SUBMITTED TO THE
00:08:48.190 --> 00:08:50.210
PROCESS THEN YOU SAID, OKAY, NOW
00:08:50.210 --> 00:08:53.110
YOU'RE READY TO BE ANOINTED.
00:08:53.110 --> 00:08:55.120
NOW GO FIND YOUR PLACE.
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:57.240
NOW GO SEEK THE LORD FOR WHAT
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:00.240
COMMUNITY YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:01.240
AND I KNEW GOD BROUGHT ME HERE
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.250
TO TAKE ME BACK THERE.
00:09:03.250 --> 00:09:04.230
- THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.
00:09:04.230 --> 00:09:06.230
YOU CAME TO US.
00:09:06.230 --> 00:09:08.090
YOU WERE WITH US FOR FOUR YEARS.
00:09:08.090 --> 00:09:11.080
IN 2004, NOW WE'RE FAST
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:12.170
FORWARDING A LITTLE BIT TO 2004
00:09:12.170 --> 00:09:15.030
AFTER ONE YEAR OF ASSIGNMENT,
00:09:15.030 --> 00:09:17.000
ONE YEAR OF FEEDING THE
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:18.280
HOMELESS, ONE YEAR OF GIVING A
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.120
SEVEN-MINUTE DEVOTION.
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.050
THAT WAS CRUCIAL.
00:09:24.050 --> 00:09:24.250
IT WAS NOT 30 MINUTES.
00:09:24.250 --> 00:09:26.190
SEVEN MINUTES DEVOTION.
00:09:26.190 --> 00:09:28.050
GET IN THE VAN, GO FIND HOMELESS
00:09:28.050 --> 00:09:29.240
PEOPLE UNDER THE BRIDGES.
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.080
I NEED YOU TO BE WITH THEM,
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.160
SMELL LIKE A SHEEP.
00:09:33.160 --> 00:09:34.170
WE KNOW THAT THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN
00:09:34.170 --> 00:09:36.110
SAMUEL ANOINTED DAVID, THE BIBLE
00:09:36.110 --> 00:09:38.260
SAYS THAT AFTERWARDS, HE WENT
00:09:38.260 --> 00:09:40.190
BACK TO THE SHEEP AND WHAT'S
00:09:40.190 --> 00:09:42.160
MISSING TODAY IN AMERICA IS
00:09:42.160 --> 00:09:44.260
PASTORS WHO LACK THE SMELL OF
00:09:44.260 --> 00:09:46.240
THE SHEEP.
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:47.220
- OF THE SHEEP.
00:09:47.220 --> 00:09:48.230
[Applause]
00:09:48.230 --> 00:09:49.050
- WE NEED TO CONTINUE.
00:09:49.050 --> 00:09:52.020
AND THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT
00:09:52.020 --> 00:09:53.030
YOU, JOHN.
00:09:53.030 --> 00:09:53.280
YOU TOOK THE ASSIGNMENT, YOU
00:09:53.280 --> 00:09:55.060
TOOK IT HEAD-ON.
00:09:55.060 --> 00:09:56.240
YOUR HEART WAS IN IT AND IT
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:59.130
BEGIN TO BREAK YOU.
00:09:59.130 --> 00:10:01.020
IN 2004, I SAID, WE'RE READY TO
00:10:01.020 --> 00:10:02.260
PLANT YOU.
00:10:02.260 --> 00:10:03.180
WE SENT YOU OUT WITH A VAN AND
00:10:04.220 --> 00:10:07.220
THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE THAT CAME
00:10:07.220 --> 00:10:09.130
INTO OUR CHURCH WITH US AND
00:10:09.130 --> 00:10:10.290
GETTING THE HEARTBEAT OF NEW
00:10:10.290 --> 00:10:12.190
LIFE AND SO IN 2004, NEW LIFE
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.120
COVENANT SOUTHEAST WAS PLANTED.
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.250
TELL US THAT JOURNEY.
00:10:18.250 --> 00:10:20.000
- SO WHAT I DID WAS I TOLD GOD,
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.000
I SAID, GOD, IF YOU HAVE ME IN
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.250
THE RIGHT PLACE, SEND THOSE THAT
00:10:25.100 --> 00:10:28.100
YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF MY
00:10:28.100 --> 00:10:29.280
TEAM, SEND THEM TO ME IN HUMBLE
00:10:29.280 --> 00:10:32.090
PARK.
00:10:32.090 --> 00:10:32.180
IF THIS IS YOU, SEND THEM HERE
00:10:32.180 --> 00:10:34.130
AND LET THEM MAKE THE SAME
00:10:34.130 --> 00:10:36.060
SACRIFICE I MADE AND MY PHONE
00:10:36.060 --> 00:10:37.210
BEGAN TO RING AND THEY SAID, GOD
00:10:37.210 --> 00:10:40.120
TOLD ME WHEREVER YOU ARE TO COME
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:41.110
WHERE YOU ARE.
00:10:41.110 --> 00:10:41.250
I SAID, I'M OVER HERE.
00:10:41.250 --> 00:10:43.230
WHERE ARE YOU?
00:10:44.280 --> 00:10:47.280
IT'S A GUY NAMED CHOCO.
00:10:50.230 --> 00:10:53.230
I SAY CHO WHO?
00:10:54.270 --> 00:10:57.270
WE SEE THE SHEEP WITH VISION
00:10:57.270 --> 00:11:00.090
AMONG THE SHEPHERDS AND I SAID,
00:11:00.090 --> 00:11:02.210
CHOCO, WE'RE NOT EVER GOING TO
00:11:02.210 --> 00:11:04.230
ALLOW SHEEP TO DIVIDE SHEPHERDS.
00:11:04.230 --> 00:11:06.110
YOU SAID, MARK YOUR SHEEP SO
00:11:06.110 --> 00:11:08.110
WHEN YOU LEAVE, WE DON'T GET OUR
00:11:08.110 --> 00:11:10.080
SHEEP MIXED UP.
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.180
YOU DID SAY TO ME, NOW THAT
00:11:12.180 --> 00:11:14.010
THEY'RE HERE, THEY BELONG TO ME
00:11:14.010 --> 00:11:15.250
AND I REMEMBER SOME OF YOUR
00:11:15.250 --> 00:11:17.220
MEMBERS SAID, WHEN YOU LEAVE,
00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:19.010
I'M GOING WITH YOU.
00:11:19.010 --> 00:11:19.290
I SAID, NO, YOU'RE NOT.
00:11:19.290 --> 00:11:22.000
YOU DON'T BELONG TO ME BECAUSE I
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.110
DIDN'T WANT SHEEP TO CAUSE
00:11:24.110 --> 00:11:26.010
DIVISION AMONG SHEPHERDS AND YOU
00:11:26.010 --> 00:11:27.100
PLANTED ME.
00:11:27.100 --> 00:11:27.250
YOU SAID, GO FIND YOUR PLACE.
00:11:27.250 --> 00:11:29.220
I FOUND A SPOT.
00:11:29.220 --> 00:11:32.090
YOU PAID MY FIRST THREE MONTHS
00:11:32.090 --> 00:11:34.250
RENT, BOUGHT MY FIRST SOUND
00:11:34.250 --> 00:11:36.080
SYSTEM, YOU TOOK ME TO THE BANK,
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.110
OPENED UP MY FIRST BANK ACCOUNT,
00:11:38.110 --> 00:11:41.020
AND THEN YOU LEFT ME AND NEVER
00:11:41.020 --> 00:11:43.180
CAME BACK!
00:11:43.180 --> 00:11:44.190
[ LAUGHTER ]
00:11:44.190 --> 00:11:47.080
[Applause]
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:47.280
- YOU NEVER CAME BACK TO CHECK
00:11:47.280 --> 00:11:50.160
ON ME!
00:11:50.160 --> 00:11:51.160
- THE REASON WHY IS THAT WHEN I
00:11:51.160 --> 00:11:53.020
PLANTED JOHN, HE WAS OUT
00:11:53.020 --> 00:11:55.030
RUNNING.
00:11:55.030 --> 00:11:55.140
HE WAS OUT RUNNING.
00:11:55.140 --> 00:11:56.020
I'M, LIKE, HE GOT IT.
00:11:56.020 --> 00:11:57.080
HE'S GOT IT.
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:58.060
HE DOESN'T NEED ME TO OVERSEE
00:11:58.060 --> 00:12:01.040
HIM.
00:12:01.040 --> 00:12:01.120
AND I TELL YOU THE STORY AND THE
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.010
BLESSING THAT GOD HAS DONE IN
00:12:03.010 --> 00:12:04.100
THIS MAN'S LIFE AND HIS WIFE AND
00:12:04.100 --> 00:12:06.150
THE CHURCH, AND THEY JUST
00:12:06.150 --> 00:12:08.010
STARTED EXPLODING.
00:12:08.010 --> 00:12:10.130
BECAUSE THAT TOOK THE HEARTBEAT.
00:12:10.130 --> 00:12:12.230
- WE'RE IN A DAY RIGHT NOW THAT
00:12:12.230 --> 00:12:15.000
IT'S OKAY TO BE YOURSELF BUT YOU
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:15.290
HAVE TO COME FROM UNDER
00:12:15.290 --> 00:12:17.020
SOMETHING.
00:12:17.020 --> 00:12:17.260
- COME ON.
00:12:17.260 --> 00:12:18.170
THAT'S GOOD.
00:12:18.170 --> 00:12:19.190
- THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HANNAH
00:12:20.210 --> 00:12:23.210
TOOK SAMUEL TO THE TEMPLE AND
00:12:23.210 --> 00:12:26.020
LEFT HIM WITH ELI.
00:12:26.020 --> 00:12:27.220
AND HE STAYED IN THE HOUSE.
00:12:27.220 --> 00:12:30.010
HE SERVED THE LORD AND ELI, SO
00:12:32.070 --> 00:12:35.070
REGARDLESS, THE OIL GOT ON
00:12:35.070 --> 00:12:36.210
SAMUEL, AND SO I TOOK WHAT I
00:12:36.210 --> 00:12:38.140
LEARNED THERE BACK TO MY
00:12:38.140 --> 00:12:40.040
COMMUNITY.
00:12:40.040 --> 00:12:40.160
BUT THEN KEPT IT TRUTH TO MY
00:12:40.230 --> 00:12:43.230
IDENTITY.
00:12:43.230 --> 00:12:44.040
AND I SAW GOD BEGIN TO BLESS
00:12:44.040 --> 00:12:46.110
WHAT WE WERE DOING AND WE WENT
00:12:46.110 --> 00:12:48.080
FROM -- WE STARTED A BUILDING AT
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.260
300.
00:12:50.260 --> 00:12:51.040
WE HAD TO MOVE WITHIN NINE
00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:52.190
MONTHS TO A SCHOOL THAT SEATS
00:12:52.190 --> 00:12:54.240
700.
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.020
WE WENT FROM ONE SERVICE, TWO
00:12:55.020 --> 00:12:56.220
SERVICE, THREE SERVICES, AND
00:12:56.220 --> 00:12:58.010
THEN WE BOUGHT A BUILDING AND
00:12:58.010 --> 00:13:00.140
I'LL NEVER FORGET, WE ALWAYS SAY
00:13:00.140 --> 00:13:02.260
THIS, WHENEVER WE DISCUSS WHAT
00:13:02.260 --> 00:13:04.150
HAPPENED WITH US, IT IS
00:13:04.150 --> 00:13:06.280
IMPERATIVE THAT WE SAY TO GOD BE
00:13:06.280 --> 00:13:08.170
THE GLORY.
00:13:08.170 --> 00:13:09.100
WE DIDN'T DO THIS.
00:13:09.100 --> 00:13:10.260
- NO, NO.
00:13:10.260 --> 00:13:11.240
- WE DID NOT DO THIS.
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:12.220
THIS WAS ALL THE HAND OF GOD.
00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:14.090
- YES.
00:13:14.090 --> 00:13:15.040
- I'LL NEVER FORGET THE DAY I
00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:16.130
CALLED YOU UP, CHOCO, WE SAVED A
00:13:16.260 --> 00:13:19.260
MILLION DOLLARS!
00:13:19.260 --> 00:13:20.250
- YOU'RE LIKE, WHAT?
00:13:20.250 --> 00:13:22.080
WE GOT A MILLION DOLLARS IN THE
00:13:22.110 --> 00:13:25.110
BANK.
00:13:25.110 --> 00:13:25.200
YOU'RE LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:26.240
TO DO WITH IT?
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:27.150
I SAID, I DON'T KNOW, JUST LOOK
00:13:27.150 --> 00:13:28.290
AT IT!
00:13:28.290 --> 00:13:30.090
[ LAUGHTER ]
00:13:30.090 --> 00:13:30.250
- AND THE MOMENT THAT WE SAY
00:13:30.250 --> 00:13:32.150
THIS, AND I THINK THIS IS THE
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:36.120
REVELATION.
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.160
PREPARATION PLUS OPPORTUNITY
00:13:38.160 --> 00:13:39.210
EQUALS SUCCESS.
00:13:39.210 --> 00:13:40.230
- COME ON, THAT'S GOOD.
00:13:40.230 --> 00:13:42.060
- WE PREPARE BY SAVING THAT
00:13:42.060 --> 00:13:44.110
MONEY.
00:13:44.110 --> 00:13:44.200
OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED ITSELF FOR
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:45.230
US TO BUY THAT BUILDING.
00:13:45.230 --> 00:13:47.270
WE PAID CASH FOR THAT BUILDING.
00:13:47.270 --> 00:13:49.200
AND THEN WE SAW THE SUCCESS OF
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.160
GOD.
00:13:51.160 --> 00:13:51.270
- YES.
00:13:51.270 --> 00:13:53.000
- WE WANT THE BLESSINGS BUT
00:13:53.070 --> 00:13:56.070
WE'RE NOT PREPARED.
00:13:56.070 --> 00:13:57.150
- I THINK THAT'S SO CRUCIAL
00:13:57.150 --> 00:13:59.080
WITH SO MANY PASTORS THAT ARE
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.120
WATCHING RIGHT NOW AND HEARING
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:02.040
YOUR SIDE OF IT, BECAUSE THEY
00:14:02.040 --> 00:14:03.060
LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAY, WELL,
00:14:03.060 --> 00:14:05.020
HE'S SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE OF THIS,
00:14:05.020 --> 00:14:06.050
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THE
00:14:06.050 --> 00:14:07.040
BEGINNING PART OF IT.
00:14:07.040 --> 00:14:08.160
AND THE SACRIFICE THAT YOU DID
00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:09.250
AND THE PLANNINGS THAT YOU DID
00:14:09.250 --> 00:14:12.140
AND THE INTENTIONALITY OF
00:14:12.280 --> 00:14:15.280
SAVING.
00:14:15.280 --> 00:14:16.080
OF SAVING.
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:17.290
- CUT BACK AND BEGIN TO SAVE
00:14:17.290 --> 00:14:19.090
AND I JUST BEGAN TO SAVE MONEY.
00:14:19.090 --> 00:14:20.290
I TOLD MY TEAM, LET'S CUT BACK.
00:14:20.290 --> 00:14:23.210
WE JUST STARTED STACKING MONEY.
00:14:23.210 --> 00:14:25.180
AND I'LL NEVER FORGET, THE
00:14:25.180 --> 00:14:27.250
MOMENT, THE ACTUAL MOMENT THAT
00:14:27.250 --> 00:14:28.240
WE SAVED A MILLION, THAT'S WHEN
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.080
THE E-MAIL CAME -- NOT THE
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:32.210
E-MAIL BACK THEN, THE FAX!
00:14:32.210 --> 00:14:34.210
THE FAX CAME THROUGH OF A CHURCH
00:14:34.210 --> 00:14:36.150
BEING ON SALE AND FIVE OTHER
00:14:36.150 --> 00:14:38.270
CHURCHES IN THERE LOOKING AT THE
00:14:38.270 --> 00:14:40.100
BUILDING AND I FOUND THE PASS
00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:41.050
TAR ANPASTORAND I SAID, I GOT C!
00:14:44.230 --> 00:14:47.230
HE SAID, I NEED EVERYBODY TO
00:14:47.230 --> 00:14:49.170
CLEAR THE ROOM!
00:14:49.170 --> 00:14:51.160
[ LAUGHTER ]
00:14:51.160 --> 00:14:52.010
- AND WE ENDED UP PAYING --
00:14:52.010 --> 00:14:53.290
- A LOT OF IT!
00:14:53.290 --> 00:14:56.100
- -- PAYING CASH FOR THE CHURCH
00:14:56.100 --> 00:14:57.200
THAT WE NOW CALL THE TABERNACLE.
00:14:58.070 --> 00:15:01.090
THEN WE WALKED DOWN THE STREET,
00:15:01.090 --> 00:15:03.100
IT WAS ANOTHER CHURCH AVAILABLE,
00:15:03.100 --> 00:15:04.130
WE PAID CASH FOR THAT.
00:15:04.130 --> 00:15:06.140
WE PAID CASH FOR A HOUSE TO
00:15:06.140 --> 00:15:08.010
START OUR CHILDREN'S MINISTRY.
00:15:08.010 --> 00:15:09.250
THE WAY WE WERE ABLE TO DO IT IS
00:15:09.250 --> 00:15:11.270
BECAUSE WE WERE PREPARED FOR THE
00:15:11.270 --> 00:15:12.200
BLESSING AND I WANT TO ENCOURAGE
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:14.260
EVERYONE, THAT'S MINISTRY,
00:15:14.260 --> 00:15:15.250
THAT'S BUSINESS, THAT'S EVEN
00:15:15.250 --> 00:15:17.250
YOUR PERSONAL.
00:15:17.250 --> 00:15:18.270
PREPARATION.
00:15:18.270 --> 00:15:19.190
YOU'VE GOT TO BE PREPARED SO
00:15:19.190 --> 00:15:20.140
WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS ON
00:15:20.140 --> 00:15:21.160
THE DOOR, YOU'RE READY TO OPEN
00:15:21.160 --> 00:15:22.260
THAT DOOR.
00:15:22.260 --> 00:15:23.200
NOW YOU CAN RECEIVE YOUR
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:24.230
BLESSING.
00:15:24.230 --> 00:15:25.040
- THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.
00:15:25.040 --> 00:15:26.130
IF THERE'S ANYTHING ABOUT YOU
00:15:26.130 --> 00:15:28.100
JOHN, I'VE NOTICED, EVEN WHEN
00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:29.280
YOU WERE NOT EVEN PREACHING, YOU
00:15:29.280 --> 00:15:31.200
WERE WITH US AT NORTH SIDE, YOU
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.170

00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:39.120
GOD.
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:39.260
AND I THINK THAT YOUR BOOK
00:15:39.260 --> 00:15:41.200
DESCRIBES A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.140
WHAT YOU YEARN, RIGHT?
00:15:43.140 --> 00:15:45.010
HIS BOOK IS CALLED "DESPERATE
00:15:45.010 --> 00:15:46.280
FOR JESUS," AND I WANT YOU TO
00:15:46.280 --> 00:15:49.070
TAKE A LOOK AT HIS BIBLE AND
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:52.080
WE'LL COME RIGHT BACK AND TALK
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:55.050
ABOUT HIS BOOK ACCOUNTS "DESPERR
00:15:58.290 --> 00:16:02.010

00:16:02.010 --> 00:16:03.180

[ Cheering and Applause ]
00:17:15.080 --> 00:17:18.080
- WELCOME BACK.
00:17:18.210 --> 00:17:21.210
IF YOU'RE JUST TUNING IN, I'M
00:17:21.210 --> 00:17:23.150
HERE WITH PASTOR JOHN HANNAH AND
00:17:23.150 --> 00:17:25.110
YOU'RE CATCHING THE BEST PART,
00:17:25.170 --> 00:17:28.170
"DEBT PRATT FOR JESUS" IS HIS
00:17:28.170 --> 00:17:30.280
BOOK AND I WANTED JOHN TO TALK
00:17:30.280 --> 00:17:32.270
ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF THIS AND
00:17:32.270 --> 00:17:33.200
I SHARED EARLIER THAT WHEN JOHN
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.190
WAS AT OUR CHURCH AND I WAS
00:17:35.190 --> 00:17:38.110
PREACHING, HE WAS ALWAYS AT THE
00:17:38.110 --> 00:17:39.100
ALTAR KNEELING DOWN, WEEPING
00:17:39.100 --> 00:17:41.110
BEFORE GOD, HIS PRESENCE.
00:17:41.110 --> 00:17:43.230
WHAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THIS
00:17:43.230 --> 00:17:45.230
BOOK, DESPERATE FOR JESUS, JOHN?
00:17:45.230 --> 00:17:48.230
- SO I ACCEPTED CHRIST AT THE
00:17:48.230 --> 00:17:51.050
AGE OF 17.
00:17:51.050 --> 00:17:51.240
I WAS A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL.
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:54.240
BORN AND RAISED IN CHURCH WITH
00:17:55.060 --> 00:17:58.060
LITERALLY MY SPIRITUAL BIRTHDAY
00:17:58.060 --> 00:18:00.070
WAS WHEN I WAS 17.
00:18:00.070 --> 00:18:02.200
I AM NOW 55.
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:06.000
AND SO 30-PLUS YEARS, GOD HAS
00:18:07.020 --> 00:18:10.020
KEPT ME.
00:18:10.020 --> 00:18:12.180
IN CHURCH, I'VE SEEN SOME IN
00:18:12.180 --> 00:18:14.180
CHURCH FOR YEARS THAT THEY
00:18:14.180 --> 00:18:16.080
BECOME COMMON WITH GOD.
00:18:16.080 --> 00:18:17.130
THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE HUNGER,
00:18:17.130 --> 00:18:18.270
THE THIRST.
00:18:18.270 --> 00:18:19.290
YOU EVEN HAVE TO BEG THEM TO
00:18:19.290 --> 00:18:21.070
COME TO BIBLE STUDY, COME TO
00:18:21.070 --> 00:18:23.290
PRAYER, AND EVEN WHEN THEY'RE IN
00:18:23.290 --> 00:18:25.130
THE PRESENCE OF GOD, THEY
00:18:25.130 --> 00:18:27.140
RELUCTANTLY LIFT THEIR HANDS AND
00:18:27.140 --> 00:18:28.240
I WAS, LIKE, HOW DID YOU -- THE
00:18:29.070 --> 00:18:32.070
SCRIPTURE THAT COMES TO ME, YOU
00:18:32.070 --> 00:18:35.050
DID RUN WELL.
00:18:35.050 --> 00:18:36.220
WHO HINDERED YOU?
00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:38.060
WHAT STOPPED YOUR WORSHIP AND
00:18:38.060 --> 00:18:40.070
HUNGER, WHAT STOPPED YOUR THIRST
00:18:40.070 --> 00:18:41.110
AND I USED TO SAY TO THE NEXT
00:18:41.180 --> 00:18:44.180
GUY, PLEASE NEVER LET ME ...
00:18:49.230 --> 00:18:52.230
[Applause]
00:18:56.100 --> 00:18:59.100
- OKAY.
00:18:59.100 --> 00:19:00.070
NEVER LET ME LOSE THAT THIRST,
00:19:00.100 --> 00:19:03.100
THAT HUNGER.
00:19:03.130 --> 00:19:06.130
LIFE CAN HIT.
00:19:06.130 --> 00:19:07.120
THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT CAN
00:19:07.120 --> 00:19:08.180
KNOCK THE WIND OUT OF YOU, THAT
00:19:08.180 --> 00:19:11.030
IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL, IT WOULD
00:19:12.150 --> 00:19:15.150
TAKE YOUR PASSION, YOUR HUNGER,
00:19:15.150 --> 00:19:17.090
BECAUSE THERE'S A PART OF YOU
00:19:17.090 --> 00:19:19.190
THAT YOU HOLD GOD GUILTY OF YOUR
00:19:19.190 --> 00:19:22.070
LIFE ENCOUNTERS.
00:19:22.070 --> 00:19:23.240
AND THAT IS WHAT THE ENEMY SAID
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:26.200
THAT JOB WOULD DO IF YOU LET ME,
00:19:28.010 --> 00:19:31.010
I'LL EFFECT WORSHIP.
00:19:31.010 --> 00:19:32.140
IF YOU LET ME AT HIM, I'LL TAKE
00:19:32.140 --> 00:19:34.120
HIS PASSION, BUT THE LORD KNEW
00:19:34.120 --> 00:19:36.060
HE COULD HANDLE IT.
00:19:36.060 --> 00:19:38.270
AND SO GOD, THE BEST REVELATION
00:19:38.270 --> 00:19:41.260
TO GET IS GOD GAVE THE ENEMY
00:19:43.260 --> 00:19:46.260
PERMISSION.
00:19:46.260 --> 00:19:47.080
THE DEVIL CAN'T DO ANYTHING
00:19:47.080 --> 00:19:48.090
WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF GOD.
00:19:48.090 --> 00:19:50.000
- COME ON, COME ON.
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:51.230
THAT'S A GOOD WORD.
00:19:51.230 --> 00:19:54.010
[Applause]
00:19:54.010 --> 00:19:54.150
- A GOOD WORD.
00:19:54.150 --> 00:19:55.060
AND YOU MENTIONED JOB, JOHN,
00:19:55.060 --> 00:19:57.280
BECAUSE IF WE NOTICE IN THE
00:19:57.280 --> 00:20:00.030
SCRIPTURE, THE FIRST THING THE
00:20:00.030 --> 00:20:01.260
ENEMY CAME AFTER WASN'T JOB'S
00:20:01.260 --> 00:20:03.230
MONEY.
00:20:03.230 --> 00:20:04.020
IT WASN'T HIS HOUSE, HIS 401k
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:07.200
PLAN.
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:07.290
THE FIRST THING HE CAME AFTER
00:20:07.290 --> 00:20:09.210
WAS THE ANIMALS.
00:20:09.210 --> 00:20:10.140
IT WAS THE ANIMALS, BECAUSE JOB
00:20:10.270 --> 00:20:13.270
WOULD USE THOSE ANIMALS TO
00:20:13.270 --> 00:20:16.120
SACRIFICE TO THE LORD.
00:20:16.120 --> 00:20:17.140
HIS WORSHIP TO THE LORD.
00:20:17.210 --> 00:20:20.210
AND WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR
00:20:20.210 --> 00:20:22.290
CULTURE, JOHN, THAT WE ARE
00:20:22.290 --> 00:20:25.000
LOSING THIS DESPERATENESS FOR
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.030
JESUS?
00:20:27.030 --> 00:20:28.020
- BECAUSE WE LIVE IN THE
00:20:28.020 --> 00:20:30.100
"SELFIE" GENERATION.
00:20:30.100 --> 00:20:31.200
THE SELFIE GENERATION.
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:33.150
I MEAN, WE'RE ENCOURAGED, POST
00:20:33.150 --> 00:20:35.280
YOURSELF.
00:20:35.280 --> 00:20:36.090
TALK ABOUT YOURSELF.
00:20:36.090 --> 00:20:37.240
CREATE YOUR BRAND.
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:39.030
PUSH YOURSELF.
00:20:39.030 --> 00:20:40.160
WE'RE LIVING IN A SELFIE
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:42.130
GENERATION AND THE MORE OF YOU
00:20:42.130 --> 00:20:44.170
YOU PUSH, THE MORE HE DECREASES.
00:20:44.170 --> 00:20:46.230
AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID,
00:20:46.230 --> 00:20:49.180
EVERYBODY'S OUT TO CREATE THE
00:20:49.180 --> 00:20:51.020
BRAND, AND I BELIEVE IN THIS,
00:20:51.020 --> 00:20:53.060
BUT HE HAS TO BE PRIORITY.
00:20:53.060 --> 00:20:55.140
- YES, YES.
00:20:55.140 --> 00:20:58.020
- HE HAS TO BE ... [Applause]
00:20:59.060 --> 00:21:02.080
- JOHN THE BAPTIST SAYS I MUST
00:21:02.080 --> 00:21:04.150
DECREASE AS HE INCREASES.
00:21:04.150 --> 00:21:05.290
SO EVEN IF YOU SEE ME, HOPEFULLY
00:21:05.290 --> 00:21:08.210
YOU SEE CHRIST.
00:21:10.010 --> 00:21:13.010
WE JUST HAVE TO BE CAREFUL THAT
00:21:13.010 --> 00:21:14.110
WE DON'T MINIMIZE EVEN OUR
00:21:14.180 --> 00:21:17.180
MINISTRIES.
00:21:17.180 --> 00:21:18.000
EVEN OUR POSITIONS, OUR TITLES,
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.140
OUR NAMES.
00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:21.060
I'M NOTICING WE'RE BUILDING UP
00:21:21.060 --> 00:21:22.290
OUR CHURCHES AND PASTORS AND
00:21:22.290 --> 00:21:25.220
DENOMINATIONS AND WE'RE
00:21:25.220 --> 00:21:28.020
WORSHIPING THAT MORE THAN WE'RE
00:21:28.020 --> 00:21:30.040
WORSHIPING HIM.
00:21:30.040 --> 00:21:30.290
SO I LIVE ON THE ALTAR.
00:21:30.290 --> 00:21:33.090
I PRAY THAT I NEVER -- I WANT TO
00:21:33.090 --> 00:21:36.050
ALWAYS BE SENSITIVE TO HIS
00:21:36.050 --> 00:21:38.100
PRESENCE.
00:21:38.100 --> 00:21:38.210
I NEVER WANT TO BE LIKE SAMSON.
00:21:38.270 --> 00:21:41.270
THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN THEY WOKE
00:21:41.270 --> 00:21:43.060
HIM UP, HE SAYS, I'LL JUST GO
00:21:43.060 --> 00:21:45.110
OUT AND SHAKE YOURSEL MYSELF ASD
00:21:46.270 --> 00:21:49.270
BEFORE.
00:21:49.270 --> 00:21:50.070
THAT ONE LINE.
00:21:50.070 --> 00:21:51.170
HE KNEW NOT THAT THE LORD HAD
00:21:51.170 --> 00:21:53.290
DEPARTED.
00:21:53.290 --> 00:21:54.230
LORD, IF I GET UP AND YOU'RE NOT
00:21:55.110 --> 00:21:58.110
THERE, LET ME BEGIN TO SHAKE.
00:21:58.110 --> 00:22:00.090
LET ME BEGIN TO HUNGER AND
00:22:00.090 --> 00:22:02.270
THIRST YOU FOR YOU THAT YOU
00:22:02.270 --> 00:22:04.150
CANNOT GET TOO FAR AWAY FROM ME.
00:22:04.150 --> 00:22:07.060
YOU KNOW, WHEN ELIJAH AND THEY
00:22:07.100 --> 00:22:10.100
TRAVELLED THROUGH THOSE FIVE
00:22:10.100 --> 00:22:11.260
CITIES AND ELIJAH, THE MENTEE
00:22:14.170 --> 00:22:17.170
PICKED UP THE MENTOR AND HE
00:22:17.170 --> 00:22:19.210
CROSSED OVER THE JORDAN RIVER
00:22:19.210 --> 00:22:21.180
AND THE RIVER WAS CLOSED.
00:22:21.180 --> 00:22:22.250
HE MET UP WITH SOME PEOPLE FROM
00:22:22.250 --> 00:22:24.110
A TOWN AND THEY SAID TO HIM, I'M
00:22:24.110 --> 00:22:26.180
A FIRM BELIEVER THAT HE
00:22:26.180 --> 00:22:27.190
REPRESENTED THE CHURCH, AND THEY
00:22:27.190 --> 00:22:29.010
SAID TO HIM, CAN YOU CHANGE THIS
00:22:29.010 --> 00:22:31.260
BITTER WATER TO SWEET?
00:22:31.260 --> 00:22:34.180
AND WHAT'S HAPPENING IN AMERICA
00:22:34.180 --> 00:22:36.150
IS THAT WE HAVE A CULTURE THAT'S
00:22:36.150 --> 00:22:37.290
DRINKING BITTER WATER AND
00:22:37.290 --> 00:22:40.030
THEY'RE ASKING THE CHURCH, LIKE,
00:22:40.030 --> 00:22:42.240
IN PSALMS 42, WHERE ARE YOU,
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:45.180
GOD?
00:22:45.180 --> 00:22:45.260
WHERE'S THE POWER?
00:22:45.260 --> 00:22:48.030
AND I THINK THIS DESPERATE FOR
00:22:48.030 --> 00:22:50.040
JESUS BOOK IS TALKING TO US THAT
00:22:50.040 --> 00:22:51.090
WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE
00:22:51.090 --> 00:22:52.260
BEGINNING.
00:22:52.260 --> 00:22:53.100
KEEP YOUR PASSION.
00:22:53.100 --> 00:22:55.060
- KEEP YOUR PASSION.
00:22:55.060 --> 00:22:56.160
EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE, WE GOT
00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.160
BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM.
00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:01.100
SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM AND ALL
00:23:01.100 --> 00:23:03.070
THIS OTHER STUFF WILL BE ADDED.
00:23:03.100 --> 00:23:06.100
DO NOT SEEK THE STUFF.
00:23:06.100 --> 00:23:07.120
- THAT'S A GOOD ORDER.
00:23:07.120 --> 00:23:09.050
[Applause]
00:23:09.050 --> 00:23:09.170
- THAT'S A GOOD ORDER.
00:23:09.170 --> 00:23:11.070
AND EVERY NOW AND THEN, GOD WILL
00:23:11.070 --> 00:23:13.070
DO CERTAIN THINGS TO JUST MAKE
00:23:13.070 --> 00:23:15.220
SURE THAT YOU'RE DESPERATE FOR
00:23:15.220 --> 00:23:17.050
HIM.
00:23:17.050 --> 00:23:17.150
LIKE, WHEN HE TOLD ABRAHAM,
00:23:17.150 --> 00:23:19.200
BRING ME YOUR ONLY SON.
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:24.160
AND HE WILLFULLY WENT THERE AND
00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:27.070
PLACED HIS SON ON THE ALTAR,
00:23:27.170 --> 00:23:30.170
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO
00:23:30.170 --> 00:23:32.280
EVER THINK THAT IT'S MORE THAN
00:23:32.280 --> 00:23:35.130
YOU.
00:23:35.130 --> 00:23:36.010
AND SO THAT DESPERATE THINK IS
00:23:36.010 --> 00:23:38.050
FOR US TO CHECK OURSELVES TO
00:23:38.050 --> 00:23:40.060
SAY, DO I WANT HIM OR DO I WANT
00:23:40.060 --> 00:23:42.040
TO BE NOTICED?
00:23:42.040 --> 00:23:43.080
DO I WANT HIM OR DO I WANT A
00:23:43.080 --> 00:23:45.150
TITLE?
00:23:45.150 --> 00:23:45.240
DO I WANT HIM OR I WANT TO BE
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.110
NUMBER ONE?
00:23:48.110 --> 00:23:48.290
AND EVERY NOW AND THEN, GOD WILL
00:23:48.290 --> 00:23:51.140
MAKE US STOP TO CHECK OUR SEAT.
00:23:51.140 --> 00:23:54.130
AND I PRAY THAT MY SEAT -- I
00:23:54.130 --> 00:23:56.250
TOLD GOD, I WANT MY LAST BREATH
00:23:58.130 --> 00:24:01.150
TO BE SEEKING YOU.
00:24:01.150 --> 00:24:02.140
I WANT TO GROW OLD IN THE
00:24:02.140 --> 00:24:04.210
CHURCH.
00:24:04.210 --> 00:24:05.010
I WANT TO BE AN OLD MAN LIKE,
00:24:05.230 --> 00:24:08.230
AH, AND WHEN I WAVE MY HAND, I
00:24:10.020 --> 00:24:13.020
CAN STILL FEEL HIM.
00:24:14.260 --> 00:24:17.260
PSALMS 42, JOHN.
00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:22.180
AS THE COLD WATER SO MY SOUL
00:24:22.180 --> 00:24:24.270
LONG AFTER ME AND I THINK WHAT
00:24:24.270 --> 00:24:27.010
I'M SAYING IN THIS CULTURE,
00:24:27.010 --> 00:24:28.040
THERE IS A SENSE OF LOSS OF
00:24:28.040 --> 00:24:30.260
DESPERATION FOR THE PRESENCE OF
00:24:30.260 --> 00:24:32.130
GOD.
00:24:32.130 --> 00:24:32.210
WE'VE BECOME SO MECHANICAL THAT
00:24:32.210 --> 00:24:35.090
WE DON'T CRY ANYMORE.
00:24:35.090 --> 00:24:36.190
WE'RE NOT IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD
00:24:36.190 --> 00:24:38.200
ANYMORE.
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:39.040
WE COME IN, GET OUR 30-MINUTE
00:24:39.100 --> 00:24:42.100
SERMON OR AN INSPIRATION, BUT WE
00:24:43.040 --> 00:24:46.040
LEAVE OUT GOD'S PRESENCE.
00:24:46.170 --> 00:24:49.170
- DECLARATION HAS DECREASED IN
00:24:49.170 --> 00:24:51.030
AMERICA.
00:24:51.030 --> 00:24:51.140
WHEN YOU TRAVEL THE WORLD, IT'S
00:24:52.070 --> 00:24:55.070
DIFFERENT.
00:24:55.070 --> 00:24:55.290
- WE TRAVELLED THE WORLD.
00:24:55.290 --> 00:24:57.140
I WENT TO GO PREACH AT PASTOR
00:24:57.170 --> 00:25:00.190
OUT'S CHURCH IN SOUTH AFRICA.
00:25:00.190 --> 00:25:02.210
THE BUILDING SEATS 6.000.
00:25:02.210 --> 00:25:04.280
THE OVERFLOW IS ANOTHER 2.000.
00:25:04.280 --> 00:25:06.230
THEY EVEN HAVE A SCREEN OUTSIDE.
00:25:06.230 --> 00:25:09.010
PEOPLE ARE STANDING UP IN PICKUP
00:25:09.010 --> 00:25:10.250
TRUCKS PUTTING THEIR LIVES IN
00:25:10.250 --> 00:25:11.280
DANGER.
00:25:11.280 --> 00:25:12.090
THEY STREAM IT.
00:25:12.090 --> 00:25:13.070
YOU CAN STAY HOME AND WATCH IT
00:25:13.070 --> 00:25:16.000
ON FACEBOOK.
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:17.100
THEY STILL SAY, I NEED TO GET IN
00:25:17.100 --> 00:25:19.120
THE BUILDING.
00:25:19.120 --> 00:25:20.140
THEY'RE PUTTING THEIR LIVES IN
00:25:20.140 --> 00:25:21.170
DANGER TO GET IN THE BUILDING,
00:25:21.170 --> 00:25:23.210
BUT WITH US, IF THE AIR'S NOT
00:25:24.010 --> 00:25:27.010
WORKING, I'M NOT GOING.
00:25:27.010 --> 00:25:28.000
I CAN'T FIND A PARKING SPACE, I
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:30.050
AIN'T GOING.
00:25:30.050 --> 00:25:31.210
PASTOR, I AIN'T PREACHING.
00:25:31.210 --> 00:25:33.150
- YOU DIDN'T COME HERE FOR ME!
00:25:33.150 --> 00:25:34.280
YOU CAME HERE FOR GOD, SO WE'RE
00:25:35.020 --> 00:25:38.020
NOTICING AND AMERICA NEEDS TO
00:25:38.020 --> 00:25:39.110
CHECK THEMSELVES, BECAUSE IF
00:25:39.110 --> 00:25:40.240
WE'RE NOT CAREFUL, GOD WILL PULL
00:25:41.080 --> 00:25:44.080
BACK TO BUILD A SEAT.
00:25:44.140 --> 00:25:47.140
- THAT'S GOOD.
00:25:47.140 --> 00:25:50.090
- GOD WILL PULL BACK JUST TO
00:25:50.090 --> 00:25:51.120
GET A SEAT OUT OF US.
00:25:51.120 --> 00:25:54.120
UNFORTUNATELY, DURING 9/11 WHEN
00:25:54.120 --> 00:25:56.060
THE PLANES WENT THROUGH THAT
00:25:56.060 --> 00:25:57.150
WORLD TRADE CENTER, AMERICA
00:25:57.150 --> 00:25:59.250
GRABBED ON TO THE HORNS OF THE
00:25:59.250 --> 00:26:01.110
ALTAR AND BEGAN TO SEEK GOD.
00:26:01.270 --> 00:26:04.270
DON'T LET IT HAVE TO BE A
00:26:04.270 --> 00:26:07.010
TRAGEDY TO MAKE YOU SEEK GOD.
00:26:07.010 --> 00:26:09.200
THINK ABOUT HOW GOOD HE'S BEING.
00:26:09.260 --> 00:26:12.260
HE CAN DO MORE.
00:26:12.260 --> 00:26:15.090
- JOHN, EVERYONE KNOWS YOU AS
00:26:15.090 --> 00:26:16.100
FAR AS A GREAT PREACHER, BUT
00:26:16.100 --> 00:26:18.080
THERE IS ANOTHER ANOINTING
00:26:18.080 --> 00:26:19.280
THAT'S ON YOU AND I WANT TO TALK
00:26:19.280 --> 00:26:22.100
TO YOU ABOUT IT.
00:26:23.070 --> 00:26:26.070
JOHN HAS THIS 4 a.m. PRAYER.
00:26:26.070 --> 00:26:28.030
HE'S GOT THE SUNRISE PRAYER AND
00:26:28.130 --> 00:26:31.130
THOUSANDS, THOUSANDS ARE COMING.
00:26:31.130 --> 00:26:33.030
BUT JOHN, REMEMBER JOHN STARTED
00:26:33.030 --> 00:26:35.040
FEEDING HOMELESS PEOPLE.
00:26:35.190 --> 00:26:38.190
HUNGRY, THIRSTY FOR JESUS,
00:26:38.190 --> 00:26:40.060
DESPERATE FOR HIM.
00:26:40.060 --> 00:26:41.010
AND THIS NEW ANOINTING HAS BEEN
00:26:43.030 --> 00:26:46.030
EVOLVING, IF YOU WILL, WHERE NOW
00:26:46.030 --> 00:26:47.190
PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD ARE
00:26:47.190 --> 00:26:48.290
CALLING YOU TO COME LEAD IN
00:26:49.180 --> 00:26:52.180
PRAYER IN THEIR CONFERENCES.
00:26:52.180 --> 00:26:54.150
TALK TO US ABOUT THIS AND YOUR
00:26:54.150 --> 00:26:56.130
PRAYER SHAWL HERE I'M SHOWING
00:26:56.130 --> 00:26:57.150
HERE.
00:26:57.150 --> 00:26:59.010
- I'M AMAZED THAT THERE'S AN
00:26:59.010 --> 00:27:01.040
OPENING FOR PRAYER.
00:27:02.030 --> 00:27:05.030
LIKE, I'M PRAYING AT 5:00 IN THE
00:27:05.030 --> 00:27:07.000
MORNING IN OTHER STATES.
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:09.050
AND THEN THE LORD, I CAN
00:27:09.050 --> 00:27:11.050
HONESTLY SAY THIS.
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.160
WE'VE MASTERED STRUCTURE.
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:17.260
WE'VE MASTERED PROGRAMMING, BUT
00:27:17.260 --> 00:27:19.210
WE DID IT WITHOUT PRAYER.
00:27:19.210 --> 00:27:22.010
WE LITERALLY DID IT -- I HAD A
00:27:22.010 --> 00:27:24.050
PASTOR TELL ME, I'M GOOD AT
00:27:24.050 --> 00:27:27.000
PLANTING.
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:27.110
I'M GOOD AT STRUCTURING.
00:27:27.110 --> 00:27:28.230
I'M GOOD AT -- AND NICE STORIES,
00:27:29.090 --> 00:27:32.090
BUT HE SAID, WE LACK PRAYER AND
00:27:32.090 --> 00:27:34.150
I'M THINKING, HOW DID YOU GET
00:27:34.150 --> 00:27:37.030
THIS WITHOUT PRAYER?
00:27:37.030 --> 00:27:39.000
BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAID WHEN THEY
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:40.200
GOT READY TO BUILD THE TOWER OF
00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:42.260
BABEL, HE SAID IF THESE PEOPLE
00:27:42.260 --> 00:27:44.110
PUT THEIR MINDS TOGETHER,
00:27:44.110 --> 00:27:45.040
THERE'S NOTHING THAT THEY CAN'T
00:27:45.040 --> 00:27:46.290
DO.
00:27:46.290 --> 00:27:47.070
YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT GOD?
00:27:47.210 --> 00:27:50.210
THAT'S SCARY.
00:27:50.210 --> 00:27:51.120
- THAT IS SCARY.
00:27:51.120 --> 00:27:53.240
- BECAUSE JESUS WILL GET THE
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:54.270
SUCCESS OF IT, BUT THE LORD SAID
00:27:54.270 --> 00:27:57.110
TO ME, THE CHURCH HAS STOPPED
00:27:57.110 --> 00:27:59.070
COMING TO ME.
00:27:59.070 --> 00:28:02.000
SO YOUR ASSIGNMENT, I LOVE MY
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:04.230
ASSIGNMENT!
00:28:04.230 --> 00:28:05.050
COME THIS WAY.
00:28:05.050 --> 00:28:05.250
THERE HE IS.
00:28:05.250 --> 00:28:08.130
I SEE YOU.
00:28:08.130 --> 00:28:10.120
- COME ON.
00:28:10.120 --> 00:28:11.180
- I DON'T DELIVER YOU.
00:28:11.180 --> 00:28:12.160
I DON'T HEAL YOU.
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:14.140
I DON'T MAKE THE WAY FOR YOU.
00:28:14.140 --> 00:28:16.260
I JUST USHER YOU INTO YOUR
00:28:16.260 --> 00:28:18.080
PRESENCE AND THEN I BACK OFF AND
00:28:18.080 --> 00:28:20.160
LET GOD BE GOD.
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:23.080
I LOVE MY ASSIGNMENT.
00:28:23.080 --> 00:28:26.000
AND SO WE THINK WHEN PEOPLE GET
00:28:27.210 --> 00:28:30.210
SAVED, THEY SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY
00:28:30.210 --> 00:28:32.170
HAVE A PRAYER LIFE, BUT THE
00:28:33.010 --> 00:28:36.010
DICIPLES SAID TEACH US HOW TO
00:28:36.010 --> 00:28:38.240
PRAY.
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:39.030
GOD HAS OPENED THE DOOR, HOW TO
00:28:39.030 --> 00:28:41.250
COME TO HIM BECAUSE YOU CAN'T
00:28:41.250 --> 00:28:43.160
JUST COME WITH GIVE ME GIVE ME
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:45.060
GIVE ME GIVE ME.
00:28:45.060 --> 00:28:46.120
THAT BECOMES IRRITATING AFTER A
00:28:46.120 --> 00:28:47.290
WHILE.
00:28:47.290 --> 00:28:48.080
YOU ONLY COME TO ME WHEN YOU
00:28:48.080 --> 00:28:49.230
WANT SOMETHING FROM ME.
00:28:49.230 --> 00:28:51.160
SO IF YOU TEACH THEM ABOUT
00:28:52.180 --> 00:28:55.180
ADORATION, HOW TO BUILD UP YOUR
00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:56.290
HAVE TO CAB CLAIYOURVOCABULARY O
00:29:04.070 --> 00:29:07.070
SAY, TELL THE PEOPLE TO GIVE ME
00:29:07.070 --> 00:29:08.270
WHAT I'M USED TO.
00:29:08.270 --> 00:29:10.030
TELL THEM TO GIVE ME -- LIKE,
00:29:10.030 --> 00:29:12.220
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT, GOD?
00:29:12.220 --> 00:29:14.160
AND I HAD TO STUDY THE
00:29:16.010 --> 00:29:19.010
SCRIPTURE.
00:29:19.010 --> 00:29:21.050
NEVER STOP, HOLY HOLY HOLY.
00:29:23.070 --> 00:29:26.070
AND IF THEY FLY, 24 ELDERS STAND
00:29:26.070 --> 00:29:28.150
WHICH MEANS THAT WORSHIP AND
00:29:28.150 --> 00:29:29.210
PRAYER IS RESPONSIVE.
00:29:29.210 --> 00:29:30.260
YOU CAN'T BE IN THIS ATMOSPHERE
00:29:30.260 --> 00:29:32.280
AND IT NOT GET ON YOU.
00:29:32.280 --> 00:29:35.100
THE 24 ELDERS STAND, THROWING
00:29:35.100 --> 00:29:37.030
DOWN THEIR CROWN.
00:29:37.030 --> 00:29:38.010
IF YOU CREATE THIS ATMOSPHERE,
00:29:38.010 --> 00:29:40.220
THE HOUSE HAS TO FALL IN ORDER.
00:29:40.220 --> 00:29:42.280
SO THE LORD HAS SHOWN ME HOW TO
00:29:44.100 --> 00:29:47.100
CREATE THIS ATMOSPHERE, AND WE
00:29:47.100 --> 00:29:49.040
STARTED TO SING IT.
00:29:49.040 --> 00:29:50.210
11 YEARS AGO, WE STARTED PRAYING
00:29:50.210 --> 00:29:53.050
AT 4 a.m. AND I HAD TO DO IT
00:29:53.050 --> 00:29:55.030
AT 4 BECAUSE I HAD TO BE AT THE
00:29:55.030 --> 00:29:57.060
RADIO STATION TO START MY SHOW
00:29:57.060 --> 00:29:58.160
AT 6 AND I WAS, LIKE, 4:00 FOR
00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:02.240
REAL?
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:03.080
NOBODY'S COMING.
00:30:03.080 --> 00:30:04.060
AND TO MY SURPRISE, OVER 100
00:30:04.110 --> 00:30:07.110
PEOPLE SHOWED UP.
00:30:07.110 --> 00:30:08.100
- THAT'S AWESOME.
00:30:08.100 --> 00:30:10.280
- SO EVERY SECOND OPPORTUNITY,
00:30:10.280 --> 00:30:12.030
WE HAVE 4 a.m. PRAYERS AND IT
00:30:12.030 --> 00:30:14.130
WENT FROM 100 TO 200.
00:30:14.130 --> 00:30:16.000
THEN NOW WE AVERAGE BETWEEN 300
00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:18.120
AND 500 PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING.
00:30:18.120 --> 00:30:19.280
NOW DUE TO TECHNOLOGY, DUE TO
00:30:19.280 --> 00:30:22.060
FACEBOOK, DUE TO STREAMING, WE
00:30:22.060 --> 00:30:24.130
AVERAGE 10.000 PEOPLE.
00:30:24.130 --> 00:30:26.120
- WOW.
00:30:26.120 --> 00:30:26.290
- AROUND THE WORLD IN PRAYER.
00:30:26.290 --> 00:30:29.210
- WOW, WOW.
00:30:29.210 --> 00:30:30.270
- I'M AMAZED AT IT, BUT THEN I
00:30:30.270 --> 00:30:32.200
HEAR THE TESTIMONIES.
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:34.160
YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO PRAY.
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:35.220
YOU PUSHED ME IN PRAYER.
00:30:35.220 --> 00:30:37.190
YOU PUT A HUNGER IN ME THAT I
00:30:37.190 --> 00:30:40.110
WANT TO PRAY.
00:30:40.110 --> 00:30:41.120
SO THAT IS MY ASSIGNMENT.
00:30:41.120 --> 00:30:43.030
AND IT'S A GREAT ASSIGNMENT.
00:30:43.030 --> 00:30:44.290
- ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT
00:30:44.290 --> 00:30:47.130
CHURCHES AND MINISTRY, I DID MY
00:30:48.010 --> 00:30:51.010
DOCTORATE ON HEALTHINESS AND THE
00:30:51.070 --> 00:30:54.070
SIGN OF A HEALTHY MINISTRY IS
00:30:54.070 --> 00:30:56.110
THEIR PRAYER LIFE.
00:30:56.110 --> 00:30:57.110
THAT'S A SIGN OF A HEALTHY
00:30:57.110 --> 00:30:59.270
CHURCH OR A YOUTH PASTOR OR A
00:30:59.270 --> 00:31:01.230
PASTOR, HOW IS YOUR PRAYER LIFE?
00:31:01.230 --> 00:31:03.160
IN THE MORNING, ONE OF THE
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:04.230
THINGS I DO IN THE MORNING IS
00:31:04.230 --> 00:31:05.290
GET UP EARLY IN THE MORNING AND
00:31:05.290 --> 00:31:07.080
DO MY DEVOTIONS AND JUST GET
00:31:07.080 --> 00:31:09.210
INTO IT WITH THE LORD AND IN THE
00:31:09.210 --> 00:31:11.080
PRESENCE OF GOD, BUT THIS THING
00:31:11.080 --> 00:31:13.070
HERE THE LORD HAS GOT YOU IN
00:31:13.070 --> 00:31:14.240
THIS ASSIGNMENT, JOHN, IT'S
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:17.160
ALMOST LIKE AN APOSTLE OF
00:31:17.190 --> 00:31:20.190
PRAYER.
00:31:20.190 --> 00:31:21.250
- YEAH, YEAH!
00:31:21.250 --> 00:31:24.020
[ LAUGHTER ]
00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:28.160
- YOU NOW HAVE THIS ANOINTING
00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:30.100
TO LEAD PEOPLE.
00:31:30.100 --> 00:31:32.000
YOU'RE LIKE JOHN THE BAPTIST.
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:33.270
JOHN THE BAPTIST WHO SAID,
00:31:33.270 --> 00:31:35.130
BEHOLD, THE LAMB OF GOD WHO
00:31:35.130 --> 00:31:37.290
POINTED THE WAY AND IT'S JUST SO
00:31:37.290 --> 00:31:40.040
REFRESHING, JOHN, BECAUSE I SAW
00:31:40.040 --> 00:31:42.160
YOU WHEN YOU WERE NOBODY.
00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:44.210
I SAW YOU THERE IN HUMBLE PARK
00:31:44.210 --> 00:31:46.210
WHEN THERE WAS ONLY 100 OF US OR
00:31:46.210 --> 00:31:49.030
200.
00:31:49.030 --> 00:31:49.110
WHILE I WAS PREACHING, YOU WERE
00:31:49.110 --> 00:31:50.220
ALREADY PRAYING AND GOD WAS
00:31:50.220 --> 00:31:52.020
PLANTING THIS IN YOUR HEART AND
00:31:52.020 --> 00:31:53.040
GOD HAS TAKEN YOU TO AR TO A NEW
00:31:53.220 --> 00:31:56.220
LEVEL.
00:31:56.220 --> 00:31:57.120
JOHN, WE CELEBRATE AND I THINK
00:31:57.120 --> 00:31:58.290
THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO DO
00:31:58.290 --> 00:32:00.070
AS A BODY OF CHRIST IS CELEBRATE
00:32:00.070 --> 00:32:02.150
ONE ANOTHER.
00:32:02.150 --> 00:32:03.060
- ONE THING I LOVE ABOUT US, WE
00:32:03.230 --> 00:32:06.230
ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER.
00:32:06.230 --> 00:32:08.170
LIKE, EVERY TIME YOU HAVE
00:32:08.170 --> 00:32:10.060
SOMETHING, I'M, LIKE, OH, MY
00:32:10.060 --> 00:32:11.270
GOD!
00:32:11.270 --> 00:32:12.060
AND EVERY TIME I HAVE SOMETHING,
00:32:12.060 --> 00:32:14.230
BRO, BRO!
00:32:14.230 --> 00:32:15.220
THAT'S HIS WORD.
00:32:15.220 --> 00:32:16.240
I'M, LIKE, CHOCO!
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:18.210
SO IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THAT.
00:32:18.280 --> 00:32:21.280
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THE
00:32:21.280 --> 00:32:24.170
RELATIONSHIP OF SOMEONE WHO IS
00:32:24.170 --> 00:32:26.040
GOING TO FAN YOUR FIRE.
00:32:26.040 --> 00:32:29.010
AND NOT BLOW YOUR FIRE OUT.
00:32:29.210 --> 00:32:32.210
- WE HAVE -- YOU ALREADY HEARD
00:32:32.210 --> 00:32:33.270
WE PLANTED HIM IN 2004.
00:32:33.270 --> 00:32:36.010
AND YOU ALREADY SAW A VIDEO
00:32:36.010 --> 00:32:37.240
WHERE THEY HAVE MEMBERSHIP OF
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:39.040
CLOSE TO 30.000.
00:32:39.040 --> 00:32:41.040
HE OUTGREW THE MOTHER CHURCH.
00:32:41.040 --> 00:32:43.080
AND WHAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IS
00:32:43.080 --> 00:32:45.270
HOW YOU HONOUR, JOHN.
00:32:45.270 --> 00:32:47.270
HOW YOU HONOURED THE CHURCH THAT
00:32:47.270 --> 00:32:50.120
PLANTED YOU.
00:32:50.120 --> 00:32:51.250
AND FOR 14, 15 YEARS NOW.
00:32:52.080 --> 00:32:55.080
- 15.
00:32:55.080 --> 00:32:56.170
- FOR 15 YEARS, HE'S ALWAYS
00:32:56.170 --> 00:32:58.110
SENT HIS TIDINGS TO THE CHURCH
00:32:58.110 --> 00:32:59.270
THAT PLANTED HIM, FAITHFULLY
00:32:59.270 --> 00:33:01.240
EVERY MONTH, EVERY MONTH.
00:33:03.050 --> 00:33:06.050
[Applause]
00:33:06.050 --> 00:33:06.190
- AND WE'RE JUST SO -- WE
00:33:06.190 --> 00:33:08.200
CELEBRATE YOU, JOHN.
00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:09.190
WE THANK GOD FOR YOU.
00:33:09.190 --> 00:33:11.120
JOHN IS RIGHT NOW IN A NEW
00:33:11.120 --> 00:33:13.270
PROJECT BUILDING AT HIS NEW
00:33:13.270 --> 00:33:15.290
FACILITY.
00:33:15.290 --> 00:33:16.100
WHY DON'T YOU QUICKLY TELL US A
00:33:16.100 --> 00:33:17.120
LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT'S
00:33:17.120 --> 00:33:18.030
HAPPENING WITH THAT?
00:33:18.030 --> 00:33:20.270
- I CAN NOW WRAP MYSELF IN MY
00:33:20.270 --> 00:33:23.120
OWN PRAYER SCARF.
00:33:23.120 --> 00:33:25.020
WE'RE BUILDING.
00:33:25.020 --> 00:33:26.010
NOT BECAUSE WE WANT TO, BUT
00:33:26.010 --> 00:33:28.150
BECAUSE WE HAVE TO.
00:33:29.060 --> 00:33:32.060
NATIONALLY, PASTORS MONITOR YOUR
00:33:32.060 --> 00:33:33.250
EGO AS YOU GROW.
00:33:33.290 --> 00:33:36.290
DON'T BUILD BECAUSE YOU WANT TO
00:33:36.290 --> 00:33:38.050
PROVE A POINT.
00:33:38.050 --> 00:33:39.180
ONLY BUILD BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO
00:33:39.180 --> 00:33:41.210
CHOICE.
00:33:41.210 --> 00:33:42.010
WE'VE BEEN RENTING.
00:33:42.010 --> 00:33:44.030
WE BOUGHT A CHURCH.
00:33:44.030 --> 00:33:45.080
WE WERE ONLY ABLE TO BE THERE
00:33:45.080 --> 00:33:46.210
FOR NINE MONTHS.
00:33:46.210 --> 00:33:47.270
OTHER THAN, WE'VE HAD TO RENT IN
00:33:47.270 --> 00:33:49.170
EVERY PLACE WE'VE GONE.
00:33:49.170 --> 00:33:50.270
WE LOOKED AT ONE LOCATION AND WE
00:33:50.270 --> 00:33:53.000
HAD ALREADY GIVEN THEM
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:54.250
OVER $6 MILLION, SO WE HAVE TO
00:33:54.250 --> 00:33:55.230
BUILD, BUT THE BUILDING PROJECT
00:33:55.230 --> 00:33:56.260
HAS BEEN ONE OF THE GREATEST
00:33:57.230 --> 00:34:00.250
CHALLENGES THAT I'VE EVER HAD IN
00:34:00.250 --> 00:34:03.070
MY ENTIRE LIFE.
00:34:03.070 --> 00:34:04.200
SO HIM BE GLORY.
00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:06.080
WE'RE NOT BUILDING A CHURCH.
00:34:06.080 --> 00:34:07.130
WE'RE BUILDING SOMETHING, IT'S A
00:34:08.030 --> 00:34:11.030
CHURCH/PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.
00:34:11.030 --> 00:34:12.270
ONE OF THE THINGS OF MY DESIRE
00:34:12.270 --> 00:34:14.280
IS TO BE SENSITIVE TO MY
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:16.180
COMMUNITY.
00:34:16.180 --> 00:34:17.000
WHEN YOU'RE SENSITIVE TO YOUR
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:18.040
COMMUNITY, YOU DON'T BUILD FOR
00:34:18.040 --> 00:34:19.110
YOU, YOU BUILD FOR THEM.
00:34:19.110 --> 00:34:20.160
- THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.
00:34:20.160 --> 00:34:21.180
- SO WE'RE BUILDING A
00:34:21.180 --> 00:34:22.210
PERFORMING ARTS CENTER TO BRING
00:34:22.210 --> 00:34:23.230
THE ARTS BACK TO THE CITY OF
00:34:23.230 --> 00:34:25.260
CHICAGO, BACK TO THE SOUTH SIDE
00:34:25.260 --> 00:34:28.110
OF CHICAGO.
00:34:28.110 --> 00:34:30.180
IT'S SET UP TO SEAT 3800.
00:34:30.250 --> 00:34:33.250
FULL LOBBY, FULL SOUND, FULL
00:34:33.250 --> 00:34:36.240
LIGHTING SO THAT THE PLAYS AND
00:34:36.240 --> 00:34:39.060
THE ARTS CAN COME BACK TO THE
00:34:39.060 --> 00:34:41.030
SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO, BECAUSE
00:34:41.030 --> 00:34:42.240
IF YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON THE
00:34:42.240 --> 00:34:45.090
HISTORY OF THE SOUTH SIDE OF
00:34:45.090 --> 00:34:47.170
CHICAGO, SOME OF THE WORLD'S
00:34:47.170 --> 00:34:48.220
GREATEST MUSICIANS AND DANCERS
00:34:48.220 --> 00:34:50.130
AND WRITERS COME FROM THE SOUTH
00:34:50.130 --> 00:34:51.290
SIDE OF CHICAGO.
00:34:51.290 --> 00:34:53.010
SO I WANT THAT TO BE A HOUSING
00:34:53.010 --> 00:34:55.270
PLACE TO BIRTH AND LAUNCH THE
00:34:55.270 --> 00:34:58.110
NEXT GENERATION.
00:34:58.110 --> 00:34:59.030
- THAT IS SO GOOD.
00:34:59.030 --> 00:35:00.170
WELL, YOU'RE HERE WITH US, JOHN
00:35:00.170 --> 00:35:03.000
HANNAH, PASTOR HERE, NEW LIFE
00:35:03.060 --> 00:35:06.060
COVENANT SOUTHEAST AND WE'RE
00:35:06.060 --> 00:35:07.070
TALKING ABOUT BUILDING, BUT ALSO
00:35:07.070 --> 00:35:08.250
HE HAS A SCHOOL CALLED "ARTS IN
00:35:08.250 --> 00:35:10.220
MOTION."
00:35:10.220 --> 00:35:11.060
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
00:35:15.140 --> 00:35:18.140
[MUSICMUSIC] ART IN MOTION IS A
00:35:20.090 --> 00:35:23.090
REIMAGINED EDUCATION FOR
00:35:23.090 --> 00:35:25.080
STUDENTS.
00:35:25.080 --> 00:35:25.190
OUR OVERARCHING OBJECTIVE IS TO
00:35:25.190 --> 00:35:27.160
PROVIDE EVERY STUDENT REGARDLESS
00:35:27.160 --> 00:35:29.130
OF THEIR CODE AND OPPORTUNITY TO
00:35:29.130 --> 00:35:31.250
ACHIEVE THEIR FULLEST ACADEMIC
00:35:31.250 --> 00:35:34.190
POTENTIAL.
00:35:34.190 --> 00:35:35.040
BETWEEN OUR PERSONAL LIVES AND
00:35:35.040 --> 00:35:37.110
OUR SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL
00:35:37.110 --> 00:35:38.240
LEARNING AND THE PARALLEL TRACKS
00:35:38.240 --> 00:35:40.000
OF OUR ARTS AND OUR ACADEMICS,
00:35:40.080 --> 00:35:43.080
IT'S REVISIONING EVERYTHING THAT
00:35:43.080 --> 00:35:46.020
SCHOOL HAS BEEN FOR STUDENTS.
00:35:46.160 --> 00:35:49.160
BUILT AROUND THE ARTS
00:36:24.140 --> 00:36:27.140
AND THE SCHOOL IS BUILT AROUND
00:36:27.140 --> 00:36:30.100
THE ARTS.
00:36:30.100 --> 00:36:32.170
THAT'S THE THING THAT CAN PULL
00:36:32.170 --> 00:36:34.180
THEM IN AND A FUTURE.
00:36:34.180 --> 00:36:37.150
- THE SCHOOL IS ENTERING THE
00:36:37.150 --> 00:36:39.160

00:36:39.160 --> 00:36:41.230
MANAGEMENT.
00:36:41.230 --> 00:36:42.050
WE WILL BE DESIGNING A SCHOOL
00:36:42.050 --> 00:36:44.030
FROM SCRATCH WHICH IS AN AMAZING
00:36:44.030 --> 00:36:46.160
OPPORTUNITY TO DEAL WITH WITHIN

A COMMUNITY TO HAVE EXCELLENT
00:36:47.110 --> 00:36:48.250
RELATIONSHIPS WITH CHICAGO
00:36:48.250 --> 00:36:49.180
PUBLIC SCHOOL AND OTHER PARTNERS
00:36:49.180 --> 00:36:52.140
ACROSS THE EDUCATION ECOSYSTEM
00:36:52.140 --> 00:36:54.010

00:36:54.010 --> 00:36:55.220
PARTNERED WITH NEW LIFE AND
00:36:55.220 --> 00:36:56.260

EXPERIENCES, OUR INNOVATION
00:37:11.020 --> 00:37:12.270
MODEL.
00:37:12.270 --> 00:37:13.060
WE WANT TO DISRUPT EDUCATION
00:37:13.060 --> 00:37:14.120
WITH A 21ST CENTURY LEARNING
00:37:14.120 --> 00:37:16.270
MODEL THAT MIRRORED WITH THE
00:37:16.270 --> 00:37:18.040
ARTS PROVIDES UNSTOPPABLE
00:37:18.040 --> 00:37:19.080
EXPERIENCES FOR OUR STUDENTS.
00:37:20.250 --> 00:37:23.250
[MUSIC] [Applause]
00:37:23.250 --> 00:37:25.230
- THAT IS AWESOME.
00:37:26.170 --> 00:37:29.170
AMAZING.
00:37:29.170 --> 00:37:30.020
AMAZING OF WHAT GOD HAS DONE AND
00:37:30.020 --> 00:37:32.120
WHERE HE'S BROUGHT YOU AND THE
00:37:32.120 --> 00:37:34.240
THINGS YOU'RE TOUCHING, THE
00:37:34.240 --> 00:37:36.000
DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF PRAYER,
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:37.290
ARTS, WHICH IS AN ELEMENT IN OUR
00:37:37.290 --> 00:37:40.120
CULTURE WHERE HOLLYWOOD HAS
00:37:40.120 --> 00:37:42.210
DESTROYED.
00:37:42.210 --> 00:37:43.030
AND IN MY OPINION.
00:37:43.030 --> 00:37:44.200
AND I JUST PRAISE THE LORD WHAT
00:37:44.200 --> 00:37:47.060
GOD IS DOING THROUGH SOUTHEAST
00:37:47.060 --> 00:37:48.100
AND THROUGH YOUR LIFE AND YOUR
00:37:48.100 --> 00:37:50.240
TEAM AND JOHN, THERE ARE PEOPLE
00:37:50.240 --> 00:37:52.000
WHO ARE WATCHING.
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:53.020
THERE'S A LEADER THAT JUST
00:37:53.020 --> 00:37:54.180
PROBABLY TUNED IN.
00:37:54.180 --> 00:37:55.270
WHAT WOULD BE AN ADVICE OR
00:37:55.270 --> 00:37:58.030
SOMETHING THAT IN YOUR LIFE THAT
00:37:58.030 --> 00:38:00.150
SHAPED YOU, ONE MOMENT THAT YOU
00:38:00.150 --> 00:38:02.140
CAN SAY THIS YEAR IS WHAT KIND
00:38:02.140 --> 00:38:04.120
OF SET THE TRAJECTORY FROM YOUR
00:38:04.120 --> 00:38:06.210
LIFE?
00:38:06.210 --> 00:38:07.000
WHAT WOULD BE THAT ONE THING.
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:08.240
- SO WHEN I LOOK AT MY LIFE,
00:38:08.240 --> 00:38:10.230
I'M FROM CHICAGO, THE WEST SIDE
00:38:10.230 --> 00:38:11.270
OF CHICAGO.
00:38:11.270 --> 00:38:12.230
I'M A PRODUCT OF CHICAGO'S
00:38:12.230 --> 00:38:14.180
HOUSING AUTHORITY.
00:38:14.180 --> 00:38:15.170
I GREW UP IN -- MY FATHER WAS
00:38:16.110 --> 00:38:19.110
NOT PRESENT IN MY LIFE AND I
00:38:19.110 --> 00:38:21.220
WATCH PEOPLE THAT GO THROUGH
00:38:23.020 --> 00:38:26.020
ABANDONMENT ISSUES BECAUSE THEIR
00:38:26.020 --> 00:38:28.140
FAMILY MEMBERS WEREN'T THERE.
00:38:28.140 --> 00:38:29.170
I WAS GOING THROUGH CHANGES OF
00:38:29.170 --> 00:38:31.120
NOT HAVING A FATHER AND THE LORD
00:38:31.120 --> 00:38:33.040
SAYS TO ME, I KEPT HIM FROM YOU.
00:38:35.240 --> 00:38:38.240
BECAUSE HAD HE BEEN IN YOUR
00:38:38.240 --> 00:38:40.260
LIFE, HE WOULD HAVE ATTEMPTED TO
00:38:40.260 --> 00:38:42.030
MAKE YOU WHO HE WAS.
00:38:42.030 --> 00:38:44.010
SO I HAD TO PULL HIM FROM YOU,
00:38:44.260 --> 00:38:47.260
BUT MONITOR WHO I PUT IN YOUR
00:38:47.260 --> 00:38:50.160
LIFE TO MAKE YOU WHO YOU ARE
00:38:50.200 --> 00:38:53.200
TODAY.
00:38:53.200 --> 00:38:53.290
SO WHEN I LOOK AT MY LIFE, I
00:38:53.290 --> 00:38:56.140
LOOK AT THREE MEN.
00:38:56.140 --> 00:38:57.230
THERE WAS A MAN WHEN I FIRST GOT
00:38:58.030 --> 00:39:01.050
SAVED, A CHRISTIAN WHO TAUGHT ME
00:39:01.050 --> 00:39:02.270
THE WORD OF GOD AT 17.
00:39:02.270 --> 00:39:04.070
I STILL HAVE THE BIBLE THAT HE
00:39:04.160 --> 00:39:07.160
GAVE ME.
00:39:07.160 --> 00:39:08.140
THIS MAN TOLD ME HOW TO SEARCH
00:39:08.140 --> 00:39:10.240
THE SCRIPTURES AND HOW TO LOVE
00:39:10.240 --> 00:39:12.160
THE WORD OF GOD.
00:39:12.160 --> 00:39:14.060
HE TAUGHT ME, IF YOU DON'T KNOW
00:39:14.060 --> 00:39:15.290
WORDS, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE
00:39:15.290 --> 00:39:16.290
IT.
00:39:16.290 --> 00:39:17.070
IF YOU DON'T KNOW THIS BIBLE,
00:39:17.070 --> 00:39:19.050
FORGET YOUR GIFT.
00:39:19.050 --> 00:39:20.120
YOU NEED WORD.
00:39:20.120 --> 00:39:22.210
HE TAUGHT ME THAT.
00:39:22.210 --> 00:39:24.150
AND SO I DUG THE SCRIPTURES AND
00:39:25.250 --> 00:39:28.250
THEN I REMEMBER WOOLLY JAMES
00:39:29.050 --> 00:39:32.050
CAMPBELL, HE TAUGHT ME POWER.
00:39:32.170 --> 00:39:35.170
HE TAUGHT ME THAT WHATEVER
00:39:35.170 --> 00:39:37.040
YOU'RE GOING TO DO, YOU NEED TO
00:39:37.040 --> 00:39:38.100
EXECUTE IT WITH THE ANOINTING.
00:39:38.100 --> 00:39:39.290
WHATEVER YOU'RE GOING TO DO.
00:39:39.290 --> 00:39:41.090
YOU NEED THE ANOINTING OF GOD.
00:39:41.090 --> 00:39:42.270
HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO WALK INTO A
00:39:42.270 --> 00:39:45.070
ROOM, HOW YOU HAVE TO -- THE
00:39:47.080 --> 00:39:50.080
ANOINTING ARRESTS THE ROOM.
00:39:50.080 --> 00:39:51.270
HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO PREACH UNTIL
00:39:51.270 --> 00:39:54.030
THE POWER OF GOD FILLS THE ROOM.
00:39:54.030 --> 00:39:55.250
HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO PUSH UNTIL
00:39:55.250 --> 00:39:57.280
YOU GET PEOPLE INTO HIS
00:39:58.290 --> 00:40:01.290
PRESENCE.
00:40:01.290 --> 00:40:02.100
BUT THEN YOU, THE LORD TOOK ME
00:40:02.100 --> 00:40:04.050
TO YOU AND SAID, NOW HE WILL
00:40:04.050 --> 00:40:06.000
TEACH YOU STRUCTURE.
00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:07.040
HE WILL TEACH YOU ORGANIZATION.
00:40:07.040 --> 00:40:09.150
HE WILL TEACH YOU BUSINESS.
00:40:09.150 --> 00:40:11.180
HE WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE
00:40:11.180 --> 00:40:14.150
THE HEART TO DO WHAT'S ABOUT TO
00:40:14.150 --> 00:40:16.250
BE DONE.
00:40:16.250 --> 00:40:18.000
SO WHAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO IS
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:20.230
I HAD TO SHIFT WHEN IT WAS
00:40:22.250 --> 00:40:25.250
NECESSARY, BUT NOT BE ALL OVER
00:40:25.250 --> 00:40:27.170
THE PLACE.
00:40:27.170 --> 00:40:28.010
WE'RE IN A DAY RIGHT NOW THAT
00:40:28.010 --> 00:40:30.120
YOU HAVE TOO MANY OPTIONS.
00:40:30.120 --> 00:40:32.110
- YEAH, YEAH.
00:40:32.110 --> 00:40:33.200
- SO ANY TIME SOMETHING DOESN'T
00:40:33.200 --> 00:40:35.010
WORK OUT, YOU JUST SHIFT
00:40:35.010 --> 00:40:36.150
SOMEWHERE ELSE, SO IMAGINE HAD I
00:40:36.150 --> 00:40:38.200
BECOME OFFENDED WHEN YOU SAID TO
00:40:38.200 --> 00:40:40.060
ME, JOHN, I'M NOT GOING TO PLANT
00:40:40.060 --> 00:40:43.030
YOU.
00:40:43.030 --> 00:40:43.110
I'D BE, LIKE, WHO ARE YOU
00:40:43.110 --> 00:40:45.150
TALKING TO?
00:40:45.150 --> 00:40:47.240
I'LL GO FIND SOMEONE WHO WILL
00:40:47.240 --> 00:40:48.160
SEE MY HEART AND SOMEONE WOULD
00:40:48.160 --> 00:40:51.090
HAVE SAW ME SO OPEN AND WOUNDED
00:40:51.090 --> 00:40:52.250
AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF MY
00:40:53.060 --> 00:40:56.060
REBELLION.
00:40:56.060 --> 00:40:58.020
- COME ON.
00:40:58.020 --> 00:40:59.190
- AND BASICALLY LOOKED AT ME
00:40:59.190 --> 00:41:01.190
AND GIVEN ME A WORD TO JUSTIFY
00:41:01.190 --> 00:41:04.170
MY REBELLION.
00:41:04.170 --> 00:41:06.250
SO I LEARNED HOW TO SUBMIT IN
00:41:06.250 --> 00:41:09.170
THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY,
00:41:10.100 --> 00:41:13.100
KNOWING THAT I'M WHERE GOD WANTS
00:41:13.100 --> 00:41:16.070
ME TO BE.
00:41:16.070 --> 00:41:17.030
[Applause]
00:41:17.030 --> 00:41:18.260
- WOW.
00:41:18.260 --> 00:41:19.080
I MEAN, THAT SEEMS SO GOOD, I
00:41:19.080 --> 00:41:21.090
COULD COLLECT AN OFFERING RIGHT
00:41:21.090 --> 00:41:22.160
NOW IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
00:41:22.160 --> 00:41:24.160
- IT'S THE TRUTH MORE MAN.
00:41:24.160 --> 00:41:26.070
- YOU KNOW, ONE OF THINGS I
00:41:26.070 --> 00:41:27.210
THINK AND WE WOULD AGREE THAT
00:41:27.210 --> 00:41:29.160
THE CULTURE WE HAVE TODAY DO NOT
00:41:31.220 --> 00:41:34.220
EXPERIENCE THE MORAL OF GOD
00:41:34.220 --> 00:41:37.000
BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:38.000
UNDERSTAND.
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:38.180
AND I TELL PEOPLE UNDERSTANDING
00:41:38.180 --> 00:41:39.290
CAN WAIT, BUT OBEDIENCE CANNOT.
00:41:40.060 --> 00:41:43.060
WE MUST OBEY.
00:41:43.060 --> 00:41:45.120
IMAGINE, WHY DO I HAVE TO WALK
00:41:45.120 --> 00:41:47.140
AROUND JERICHO SEVEN TIMES?
00:41:47.140 --> 00:41:48.140
JUST DO IT.
00:41:48.140 --> 00:41:49.210
WHY DO I HAVE TO DIP MYSELF
00:41:49.210 --> 00:41:52.000
SEVEN TIMES?
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:53.170
JUST DO IT IF YOU WANT YOUR
00:41:53.170 --> 00:41:55.150
MIRACLE IN YOUR BLOODSTREAM AND
00:41:55.150 --> 00:41:57.060
THE CULTURE THAT'S LIVING TODAY,
00:41:57.060 --> 00:41:58.140
THEY'RE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
00:41:58.140 --> 00:41:59.280
GOD.
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:00.280
AND YOU HAVE WALKED IN
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:03.140
OBEDIENCE, JOHN.
00:42:03.140 --> 00:42:05.260
- AND IT WASN'T EASY.
00:42:05.260 --> 00:42:07.270
THE TRUE TEST OF OBEDIENCE IS
00:42:07.270 --> 00:42:10.000
NOT WHEN YOU'RE TOLD TO DO WHAT
00:42:10.050 --> 00:42:13.050
YOU WANT TO DO.
00:42:13.050 --> 00:42:14.060
THE TRUE TEST OF OBEDIENCE IS
00:42:14.060 --> 00:42:16.040
WHEN YOU'RE TOLD TO DO WHAT YOU
00:42:16.040 --> 00:42:18.030
REALLY DON'T WANT TO DO.
00:42:18.030 --> 00:42:20.050
- YEAH, YEAH.
00:42:20.050 --> 00:42:21.260
- AND THIS IS WHY PAUL SAYS I
00:42:21.260 --> 00:42:24.010
DIE DAILY.
00:42:24.010 --> 00:42:25.120
I BEAT MY FLESH UNDER
00:42:25.120 --> 00:42:27.030
SUBJECTION.
00:42:27.030 --> 00:42:27.150
I BEAT MY EGO.
00:42:27.150 --> 00:42:29.200
I BEAT MY PERSONALITY BECAUSE I
00:42:29.200 --> 00:42:31.040
KNOW THAT I'M WHERE I'M SUPPOSED
00:42:31.040 --> 00:42:32.240
TO BE.
00:42:32.240 --> 00:42:33.170
AND SO THAT IS THE PROCESS OF
00:42:33.170 --> 00:42:36.060
GETTING WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU.
00:42:36.240 --> 00:42:39.240
AND I HONOUR SUBMISSION, AND I
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:42.280
SAY TO EVERYONE, I AM WHO I AM
00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:45.070
BECAUSE I SUBMITTED TO MY
00:42:45.180 --> 00:42:48.180
PROCESS.
00:42:48.180 --> 00:42:48.290
AND WAS THAT PROCESS EASY?
00:42:48.290 --> 00:42:51.040
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
00:42:51.040 --> 00:42:51.200
FOR ME TO GO TO A PUERTO RICAN
00:42:51.200 --> 00:42:54.100
COMMUNITY AND NOT BE AROUND
00:42:54.130 --> 00:42:57.130
BLACK PEOPLE WAS ONE -- THAT WAS
00:42:57.130 --> 00:42:59.140
A TRYING TIME.
00:43:04.150 --> 00:43:07.150
EATING RICE AND BEANS.
00:43:07.210 --> 00:43:10.210
BRO, BRO, EAT!
00:43:10.210 --> 00:43:12.190
I'M, LIKE, WHAT IS THIS?
00:43:12.190 --> 00:43:14.040
BUT I LOVE MY PROCESS.
00:43:14.240 --> 00:43:17.240
I COULDN'T ENJOY MY KINGDOM
00:43:17.240 --> 00:43:19.090
WITHOUT LOOKING AT MY WILDERNES
00:43:20.130 --> 00:43:23.130
WILDERNESS.
00:43:23.130 --> 00:43:23.250
EVERYBODY WANTS THE KINGDOM, BUT
00:43:23.250 --> 00:43:25.060
YOU DON'T WANT THE PROCESS OF
00:43:25.060 --> 00:43:26.130
GETTING THE KINGDOM.
00:43:26.130 --> 00:43:28.180
BEFORE DAVID COULD BECOME KING,
00:43:28.180 --> 00:43:30.160
HE HAD TO BE HATED BY SAUL, RAN
00:43:30.160 --> 00:43:32.120
INTO THE WILDERNESS.
00:43:32.120 --> 00:43:33.110
HE HAD TO RUN AROUND NOT KNOWING
00:43:33.110 --> 00:43:35.220
ANYTHING.
00:43:35.220 --> 00:43:36.030
ALL OF THAT WAS PART OF GETTING
00:43:36.030 --> 00:43:37.180
TO HIS KINGDOM.
00:43:37.180 --> 00:43:38.280
WE JUST WANT TO WAKE UP ONE DAY
00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:41.080
AND WE'VE ARRIVED IN OUR
00:43:41.080 --> 00:43:42.190
KINGDOM.
00:43:42.190 --> 00:43:43.040
- THAT'S A GOOD WORD, BECAUSE
00:43:43.040 --> 00:43:45.050
DAVID EVEN AFTER HE GOT
00:43:45.050 --> 00:43:47.110
ANOINTED, HE DIDN'T BECOME KING
00:43:47.110 --> 00:43:49.270
FOR, LIKE, 20 YEARS LATER.
00:43:49.270 --> 00:43:52.020
- JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE ANOINTED
00:43:52.020 --> 00:43:53.230
DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE READY.
00:43:53.230 --> 00:43:54.240
- THAT'S RIGHT.
00:43:54.240 --> 00:43:55.230
- PEOPLE SEE YOUR LIFE, THEY
00:43:55.230 --> 00:43:56.270
SEE YOUR BOOK, THEY SEE THE SHOW
00:43:56.270 --> 00:43:59.110
AND SEE YOU ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND
00:43:59.110 --> 00:44:00.240
THINK YOU JUST SHOWED UP.
00:44:00.240 --> 00:44:02.220
- JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE ANOINTED
00:44:02.220 --> 00:44:04.070
DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE READY.
00:44:04.070 --> 00:44:06.050
AND I KNEW, I KNEW THAT GOD HAD
00:44:06.060 --> 00:44:09.060
ANOINT MED, BUT I KNEW THAT GOD
00:44:09.060 --> 00:44:11.230
WASN'T READY.
00:44:11.230 --> 00:44:13.030
I COULD HAVE LEFT MY SECOND
00:44:13.030 --> 00:44:14.100
LOTIOSECONDLOCATION AND COULD HD
00:44:16.140 --> 00:44:19.140
A CHURCH.
00:44:19.140 --> 00:44:20.020
GOD SAID, IF YOU LEAVE NOW,
00:44:20.020 --> 00:44:22.160
YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO REPEAT WHAT
00:44:22.160 --> 00:44:24.260
YOU STARTED.
00:44:24.260 --> 00:44:25.290
IF YOU DON'T KNOW BUSINESS,
00:44:25.290 --> 00:44:27.230
STRUCTURE, AND ORGANIZATION,
00:44:27.230 --> 00:44:28.230
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT.
00:44:28.230 --> 00:44:30.140
SO I HAD TO SUBMIT TO THAT
00:44:30.180 --> 00:44:33.180
PROCESS AND IT WAS FOUR YEARS!
00:44:33.180 --> 00:44:36.100
FOUR YEARS.
00:44:36.100 --> 00:44:38.010
AND I WAS, LIKE, OKAY.
00:44:38.010 --> 00:44:39.150
WHAT WE DOING?
00:44:39.170 --> 00:44:42.170
BUT HOW DO YOU GET A MIRACLE?
00:44:43.190 --> 00:44:46.190
WHEN MARY TOLD THE WAITERS AT
00:44:46.190 --> 00:44:48.290
THE WEDDING, WHATSOEVER HE
00:44:48.290 --> 00:44:51.180
TELLETH YOU TO DO, YOU DO IT.
00:44:51.180 --> 00:44:54.070
AND I CAME TO YOU ONCE I
00:44:56.000 --> 00:44:59.000
SUBMITTED, WHAT SO EVER YOU
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:01.140
TELLETH ME TO DO, I'M GOING TO
00:45:01.140 --> 00:45:02.240
DO IT, BECAUSE I KNEW THAT YOU
00:45:02.240 --> 00:45:05.080
WEREN'T GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
00:45:05.080 --> 00:45:06.050
OF MY GIFT OR MY CALLING.
00:45:06.050 --> 00:45:08.000
YOU CAN'T SUBMIT UNTIL YOU
00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:10.200
TRUST.
00:45:10.200 --> 00:45:10.290
AND YOU SHOULDN'T BE ANY PLACE
00:45:10.290 --> 00:45:12.230
YOU DON'T TRUST.
00:45:13.080 --> 00:45:16.080
- I WANT PEOPLE TO GET AHOLD OF
00:45:16.080 --> 00:45:18.000
THIS PROCESS THING, BECAUSE
00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:19.250
PEOPLE LIKE THE PRODUCT, BUT NOT
00:45:19.250 --> 00:45:22.210
THE PROCESS.
00:45:22.210 --> 00:45:23.130
- THEY LIKE THE END PRODUCT,
00:45:23.130 --> 00:45:24.250
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'VE
00:45:24.250 --> 00:45:27.070
BEEN THROUGH.
00:45:27.070 --> 00:45:28.200
BUT GOD.
00:45:28.200 --> 00:45:30.030
- BUT GOD.
00:45:30.030 --> 00:45:30.220
IT'S ALL THE GLORY, WHAT HE'S
00:45:30.220 --> 00:45:32.280
DOING, WHAT HE'S DOING, WHAT
00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:34.130
HE'S DOING, WHAT HE'S DOING, BUT
00:45:35.120 --> 00:45:38.120
GOD.
00:45:38.120 --> 00:45:38.220
[Applause]
00:45:38.220 --> 00:45:40.090
- JOHN, WHAT WOULD BE ONE PIECE
00:45:40.090 --> 00:45:41.190
OF ADVICE FOR A CHURCH PLANTER,
00:45:41.190 --> 00:45:44.060
A LAYPERSON WATCHING RIGHT NOW
00:45:44.140 --> 00:45:47.140
THAT'S CONTEMPLATING A MINISTRY?
00:45:47.140 --> 00:45:49.060
WE'VE TALKED TO THEM ABOUT
00:45:49.060 --> 00:45:51.220
OBEDIENCE, ABOUT SUBMISSION.
00:45:51.220 --> 00:45:52.260
WHAT WOULD BE ADVICE AND
00:45:52.260 --> 00:45:54.070
AFTERWARDS, WHAT I WANT TO DO
00:45:54.070 --> 00:45:55.040
FOR THE LAST FEW MINUTES IS TAKE
00:45:55.040 --> 00:45:57.050
THIS ENTIRE AUDIENCE AND BEGIN
00:45:57.050 --> 00:45:59.040
TO TAP INTO HIS ANOINTING OF
00:45:59.040 --> 00:46:01.260
PRAYER AND CALL HEAVEN ON EARTH
00:46:01.260 --> 00:46:03.070
RIGHT HERE ON THIS SET THAT GOD
00:46:03.070 --> 00:46:05.020
WILL DO NOT ONLY HERE IN THIS
00:46:05.020 --> 00:46:07.080
SET, BUT THOSE WATCHING ACROSS
00:46:07.080 --> 00:46:08.260
THIS WORLD THAT GOD WOULD MOVE
00:46:08.260 --> 00:46:11.080
BUT WHAT WOULD BE ONE ADVICE
00:46:11.080 --> 00:46:12.230
YOU'D GIVE TO A CHURCH PLANTER
00:46:12.230 --> 00:46:14.280
OR LAYPERSON?
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:17.180
- CONSISTENCY.
00:46:17.180 --> 00:46:18.040
WE'RE GOOD AT STARTING AND THEN
00:46:18.110 --> 00:46:21.110
WE STOP.
00:46:21.110 --> 00:46:22.040
- THAT'S GOOD, JOHN.
00:46:22.040 --> 00:46:24.090
- IF YOU COULD JUST BE
00:46:25.240 --> 00:46:28.240
CONSISTENT.
00:46:28.240 --> 00:46:29.060
SOMETIMES IF YOU STUDY HANNAH,
00:46:29.060 --> 00:46:31.240
THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH
00:46:31.240 --> 00:46:34.140
HANNAH.
00:46:34.140 --> 00:46:34.240
THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH
00:46:34.240 --> 00:46:36.170
HANNAH'S BODY THAT SHE COULD NOT
00:46:36.170 --> 00:46:38.100
HAVE A BABY.
00:46:38.100 --> 00:46:39.140
THE BIBLE SAYS, BUT THE LORD
00:46:41.210 --> 00:46:44.210
CLOSED HER WOMB.
00:46:44.210 --> 00:46:45.130
THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT
00:46:45.130 --> 00:46:46.230
GOD WILL ALLOW TO REMAIN CLOSED
00:46:50.180 --> 00:46:53.180
TO MIRROR YOUR CONSISTENCY.
00:46:53.180 --> 00:46:55.210
- HOPE YOU'RE WRITING THIS
00:46:55.210 --> 00:46:57.120
DOWN.
00:46:57.120 --> 00:46:57.210
THIS IS GOOD STUFF RIGHT HERE.
00:46:59.200 --> 00:47:02.220
- SHE CAME TO THE TEMPLE FOR
00:47:02.220 --> 00:47:05.090
SACRIFICE.
00:47:05.090 --> 00:47:05.200
SHE HAD WARFARE WITH THE OTHER
00:47:05.200 --> 00:47:06.280
WOMEN MOCKING HER, SHE WOULD
00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:08.230
COME WEEPING.
00:47:08.230 --> 00:47:10.140
SHE WOULD COME WAILING, BUT SHE
00:47:10.140 --> 00:47:12.210
KEPT COMING, JUST KEPT COMING.
00:47:14.140 --> 00:47:17.140
CONSISTENCY.
00:47:17.140 --> 00:47:17.260
AND FINALLY, WHILE SHE'S ON THE
00:47:17.260 --> 00:47:20.260
ALTAR WITHOUT ANY WORDS COMING
00:47:20.260 --> 00:47:22.200
OUT OF HER MOUTH, ONLY HER LIPS
00:47:22.200 --> 00:47:25.140
MOVING, ELI SAYS, WHY DO YOU
00:47:25.140 --> 00:47:27.140
COME HERE DRUNK?
00:47:27.140 --> 00:47:29.010
EVEN SOME OF THOSE THAT ARE
00:47:29.010 --> 00:47:32.010
SPIRITUAL DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR
00:47:32.010 --> 00:47:34.280
CONSISTENCY.
00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:35.240
AND SHE SAID, AND THEN SHE
00:47:35.240 --> 00:47:37.160
EXPLAINED HERSELF, AND THE
00:47:37.160 --> 00:47:39.030
PROPHET SAID TO HER, GET UP.
00:47:39.030 --> 00:47:41.170
IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:47:41.170 --> 00:47:43.210
BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL SHE
00:47:43.290 --> 00:47:46.290
SUBMITTED WHAT SHE WANTED TO
00:47:46.290 --> 00:47:49.140
GOD.
00:47:49.140 --> 00:47:49.230
EVEN IF YOU GIVE IT TO ME, I'LL
00:47:49.230 --> 00:47:51.090
GIVE IT BACK TO YOU.
00:47:51.090 --> 00:47:54.020
[Applause]
00:47:54.020 --> 00:47:54.170
- THAT'S GOOD STUFF RIGHT
00:47:54.170 --> 00:47:55.220
THERE.
00:47:55.220 --> 00:47:56.010
THAT'S GOOD STUFF.
00:47:56.010 --> 00:47:58.070
- AND SO I WANT TO ENCOURAGE
00:47:58.070 --> 00:48:00.070
THOSE TO BE CONSISTENT TO YOUR
00:48:00.210 --> 00:48:03.210
CHURCH.
00:48:03.210 --> 00:48:04.010
TO BE CONSISTENT TO YOUR
00:48:04.120 --> 00:48:07.120
ASSIGNMENT.
00:48:07.120 --> 00:48:07.240
TO BE CONSISTENT TO YOUR
00:48:07.240 --> 00:48:10.220
MINISTRY.
00:48:10.220 --> 00:48:11.030
TO BE CONSISTENT WITH YOUR
00:48:11.030 --> 00:48:13.290
VISION.
00:48:13.290 --> 00:48:14.090
DON'T START LOOKING AT WHAT
00:48:14.090 --> 00:48:15.100
OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING AND NOW
00:48:15.100 --> 00:48:17.200
YOU ALTER YOUR VISION.
00:48:17.260 --> 00:48:20.260
DON'T TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE.
00:48:20.260 --> 00:48:23.090
TELL ME WHAT YOU SAW.
00:48:23.090 --> 00:48:25.170
TELL ME WHAT HE SHOWS YOU BEFORE
00:48:25.170 --> 00:48:28.070
YOU GOT HERE.
00:48:28.070 --> 00:48:30.180
AND THEN I'VE LEARNED
00:48:30.180 --> 00:48:33.030
CONSISTENCY HAS BEEN ABLE TO BE
00:48:33.030 --> 00:48:33.260
THE KEY OF REAPING THE BLESSING,
00:48:33.260 --> 00:48:36.030
BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET IT UP
00:48:36.030 --> 00:48:37.250
FRONT.
00:48:37.250 --> 00:48:38.100
HANNAH DIDN'T GET PREGNANT AFTER
00:48:38.100 --> 00:48:40.220
ONE PRAYER.
00:48:40.220 --> 00:48:41.110
- THAT'S GOOD.
00:48:41.110 --> 00:48:42.080
- SHE DIDN'T.
00:48:42.080 --> 00:48:43.180
IT TOOK YEARS OF CONSTANTLY
00:48:44.020 --> 00:48:47.020
COMING, YEARS OF DEALING WITH
00:48:47.020 --> 00:48:48.050
THE REJECTION, YEARS OF HAVING
00:48:48.050 --> 00:48:49.240
TO WATCH OTHER PEOPLE HAVE
00:48:51.210 --> 00:48:54.210
BABIES.
00:48:54.210 --> 00:48:55.010
HOW CAN EVERYBODY ELSE HAVE WHAT
00:48:55.030 --> 00:48:58.030
YOU WANT AND THEY HAVE IT
00:48:58.070 --> 00:49:01.090
WITHOUT PRAYING?
00:49:01.090 --> 00:49:01.240
AND IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL, IT'LL
00:49:01.240 --> 00:49:04.020
STOP YOU FROM PRAYING.
00:49:04.020 --> 00:49:05.080
- THAT'S RIGHT.
00:49:05.080 --> 00:49:06.260
- SO I'VE LEARNED CONSISTENCY,
00:49:06.260 --> 00:49:08.150
TO STAY ON THE ALTAR, STAY IN
00:49:08.150 --> 00:49:10.020
THE FACE OF GOD, KEEP DOING IT.
00:49:10.020 --> 00:49:12.110
FOR ME TO BE PRAYING NOW FOR 11
00:49:12.110 --> 00:49:14.000
YEARS AT 4 a.m. IN THE
00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:16.010
MORNING, THAT'S CONSISTENCY.
00:49:16.010 --> 00:49:17.280
WE DO 12-HOUR PRAYER MEETINGS
00:49:17.280 --> 00:49:19.140
ONCE A YEAR.
00:49:19.140 --> 00:49:20.200
NOW WE'RE FLYING IN PEOPLE FROM
00:49:20.200 --> 00:49:22.010
AROUND THE WORLD TO PRAY.
00:49:22.010 --> 00:49:23.040
WE DO A 12-HOUR PRAYER MEETING
00:49:23.040 --> 00:49:25.140
AND THEY SAY, BRING IT OUT OF
00:49:25.140 --> 00:49:27.090
YOUR CHURCH, TAKE IT TO A
00:49:27.090 --> 00:49:28.270
CONVENTION CENTER.
00:49:28.270 --> 00:49:29.130
I SAID, WHO RENTS A CONVENTION
00:49:30.240 --> 00:49:33.240
CENTER FOR PRAYER?
00:49:33.240 --> 00:49:34.200
THE LORD SAYS, I DO.
00:49:34.200 --> 00:49:36.180
I BUDGET FOR A PRAYER MEETING
00:49:36.180 --> 00:49:38.180
FOR OVER $100.000.
00:49:38.180 --> 00:49:39.210
WHATEVER I TELL YOU TO DO, I'LL
00:49:39.210 --> 00:49:41.020
PAY FOR IT.
00:49:41.020 --> 00:49:42.190
AND HE DID IT!
00:49:42.190 --> 00:49:43.260
AND SO I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE
00:49:43.260 --> 00:49:46.060
PEOPLE, BE NOT WEARY IN WHILE
00:49:49.140 --> 00:49:52.140
DOING.
00:49:52.140 --> 00:49:52.230
IN DUE SEASON, BUT NOBODY KNOWS
00:49:52.230 --> 00:49:54.140
YOUR DUE DATE.
00:49:54.140 --> 00:49:55.160
- THAT'S A GOOD WORD.
00:49:55.160 --> 00:49:56.280
THAT'S A GOOD WORD.
00:49:58.160 --> 00:50:01.160
[Applause]
00:50:01.160 --> 00:50:02.140
- ALL RIGHT.
00:50:02.140 --> 00:50:03.130
I NEVER KNEW THAT QUITTING WAS
00:50:03.130 --> 00:50:05.150
AN OPTION.
00:50:05.150 --> 00:50:06.110
I NEVER KNEW.
00:50:06.110 --> 00:50:08.020
I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT MINISTRY,
00:50:08.020 --> 00:50:09.280
WHETHER YOUTH MINISTRY, WHETHER
00:50:09.280 --> 00:50:11.080
IT BE PART OF USHER MINISTRY, I
00:50:11.140 --> 00:50:14.140
NEVER KNEW THAT PEOPLE TODAY ARE
00:50:14.140 --> 00:50:17.100
TRYING TO SEE THE GRASS IS
00:50:17.100 --> 00:50:18.210
GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE.
00:50:18.210 --> 00:50:19.210
- THEY HAVE OPTIONS.
00:50:19.210 --> 00:50:21.090
- BUT I TELL PEOPLE, JOHN, THE
00:50:21.090 --> 00:50:23.040
GRASS IS GREENER WHERE YOU WATER
00:50:23.040 --> 00:50:25.080
IT.
00:50:25.080 --> 00:50:25.160
YOU DON'T NEED TO LOOK ON THE
00:50:25.160 --> 00:50:26.250
OTHER SIDE.
00:50:26.250 --> 00:50:27.080
I'M WITH YOU.
00:50:27.080 --> 00:50:28.230
STOP JUMPING CHURCHES.
00:50:28.230 --> 00:50:30.280
STOP MAKING GOD LOOK CRAZY THAT
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:33.180
GOD SAID THE LORD TOLD YOU.

00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:38.070

00:50:38.070 --> 00:50:39.050
THE ONLY WAY YOU'LL HAVE FRUIT

IS IF THERE'S ROOTS.
00:50:40.190 --> 00:50:43.190
MAN, I COULD RAP THAT THING,

00:50:56.240 --> 00:50:57.040
THE MOMENT THAT HE UNPLUGGED
00:50:57.190 --> 00:51:00.210
HIMSELF AND AT FIRST HE PITCHED
00:51:00.210 --> 00:51:02.190
HIS TENT WHICH MEANS HE WAS ONLY
00:51:02.190 --> 00:51:04.240
LOOKING, AND THEN HE MOVED
00:51:04.240 --> 00:51:06.150
OUTSIDE THE CITY AND THEN WE

FOUND OUT HE MOVED INTO THE CITY
00:51:10.030 --> 00:51:13.030

00:51:14.130 --> 00:51:17.130
