And I want to charge us today to 44 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 5: just reevaluate our life and realize we are here for 45 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 5: God's purpose and God's glory. 46 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 4: You know, Sometimes it's easy to feel like we're here to. 47 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 5: Just go to our job, go to school, have our friends, 48 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 5: raise our family. But can I tell you today, God 49 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 5: has marked you to have an influence on this earth. 50 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 5: See you just being here, you being the best you 51 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 5: can be, using your gifts, using your talents, and honoring God. 52 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 5: You're making an eternal difference. You are causing this earth 53 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 5: to be enriched, and you are moving the Kingdom of 54 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 5: God forward. You see, sometimes we don't appreciate what God 55 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 5: has given us. We don't understand this gift and the 56 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 5: purpose that we're here for. I believe when we shake 57 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 5: ourselves and we say listen, listen, I'm not here by accident. 58 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 4: I'm not here because my parents wanted a baby. 59 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 5: I'm not here just to take up space and time 60 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 5: on this earth. But I'm here for an eternal reason. 61 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 5: My being here has meaning and my life matters. You see, 62 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 5: when God looks at you, he looks at you like 63 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 5: you matter, and he wants you to take what He's 64 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 5: given you, and he wants you to mix it. 65 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 4: With faith, and he wants you to move forward on 66 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 4: this earth. 67 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 5: You see, a lot of times we can't see what 68 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 5: God has given us. 69 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 4: Let's just be really real. 70 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 5: You know, sometimes we can't see the gifts and talents. 71 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 5: We can look at other people and we can see 72 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 5: how they excel. We can see how they've got such 73 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,839 Speaker 5: a great personality. Oh, it seems so easy for them. 74 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 5: They can just do this. They're so creative. Oh they're 75 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 5: so smart. How can they figure all that out? We 76 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 5: can see it than others, but we can't always see 77 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 5: it in ourselfs. And see when we can't see it 78 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 5: in ourselves doesn't mean it's not there. See, God sees 79 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 5: it in us, because God put it there. The Bible says, 80 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 5: when Jesus went to Earth, he led the captives free, 81 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 5: and he gave gifts to men. 82 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 4: Do you know He's given you gifts. We don't all 83 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 4: have the same gifts. 84 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 5: We've got to be comfortable with our gifts. We got 85 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 5: to be able to recognize our gifts. We've got to 86 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 5: walk in those gifts and not compare those gifts. 87 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 4: We got to know that our gifts. 88 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 5: Are here for a purpose, and we've got to appreciate 89 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 5: what God has given us. 90 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 4: I think about Moses. He was raised as an Egyptian. 91 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 5: He ended up fleeing to the wilderness, and he was 92 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 5: there for forty years. God appeared to him in a 93 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 5: burning bush one day and says, Moses, I have an 94 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 5: assignment for you. 95 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 4: Now. 96 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 5: God knew exactly who he was talking to. He knew 97 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,239 Speaker 5: everything about Moses. He created Moses. He saw Moses floating 98 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 5: down the river. He saw Moses when he lived in 99 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 5: the palace. He saw Moses when he was afraid and 100 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 5: ran to the desert. He knew exactly who Moses was. 101 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 5: He knew he was dealing with. He said, Moses, I 102 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 5: want you to lead my people out of Egypt into 103 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 5: the Promised Land because I'm doing a work and I'm 104 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 5: going to use you to do it. 105 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 4: See it's so interesting. 106 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 5: I can only imagine Moses standing there like, really, God, 107 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 5: it says an exodent's for He literally pleaded with God. 108 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 5: He said, no, God, not me. You got the wrong man. God, 109 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 5: I stutter, I can't speak well, I can't carry this 110 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 5: assignment out. I'm sure he was thinking about his past. 111 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 5: I'm sure he was thinking about how I've been in 112 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 5: the desert. Lord, you don't know. 113 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 4: I mean, you got the wrong man. 114 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 5: But God was saying, no, I've been shaping you from 115 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 5: the beginning. Every experience you have, every gift God placed 116 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 5: in you, has brought you for such a time as this, 117 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 5: For this is assignment. 118 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 4: And you know God used Moses in a powerful. 119 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 5: Way, even though Moses couldn't see what God had placed 120 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 5: in his life. 121 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 4: I find it very interesting. 122 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 5: In Acts seven, twenty two, hundreds of years later, after 123 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 5: Moses was dead, this is what the writer of Acts 124 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 5: wrote about Moses. 125 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 4: Says, Moses was well educated. 126 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 5: In all the wisdom of the Egyptian and he was 127 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 5: powerful in speech and action. Moses was powerful in speech 128 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 5: and action. That was a far cry from what he 129 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 5: thought about himself. It was a far crid from what 130 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 5: he was telling God. 131 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 3: See. 132 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 5: Isn't it interesting what he couldn't see in himself God 133 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 5: had others see. 134 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 6: See. 135 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 4: You may not be able to see your gifts, your talents, 136 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 4: your abilities, But can I tell you. 137 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 5: If you will use them for God, let God take 138 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 5: those and turn them into supernatural abilities. People will see 139 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 5: that you have and you will accomplish great things in 140 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 5: your life. But it's up to us to mix our abilities, 141 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 5: our gifts that God's given us with faith and get 142 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 5: up every day and put one foot in front of 143 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 5: the other. 144 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 4: Because I can tell you when God asked you to 145 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 4: do something. 146 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 5: Can I just give you a little hint right now 147 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 5: that you probably already know is not gonna be easy. 148 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 5: God's gonna call you to some hard stuff. Why God, 149 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 5: I like easy, I like comfortable. God, I like to 150 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 5: do those things that are easy for me to do. 151 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 5: God's saying, I want you to take those things that 152 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 5: are easy for you to do and those things that 153 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 5: are difficult for you to do, and I want you 154 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 5: to give them to me, because. 155 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 4: See those difficult places, that's where you grow. 156 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 5: When God speaks to those difficult places, you know what 157 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 5: he's doing. 158 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 4: He's not being me. He's speaking to your potential. 159 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 5: He's saying, if you stay here, you're not gonna become 160 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 5: everything you were designed to be. 161 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 4: He's not gonna call you to the easy places. 162 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 5: He's gonna call you to some tough things. 163 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 4: Just like Moses. 164 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 5: You're gonna look back and you're gonna go. God, you 165 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 5: did more than I could ask, think or imagine. God, 166 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 5: You've fulfilled my life. You've enriched my life. But see, 167 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 5: all along the way, we're gonna have to stir up 168 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 5: the gifts of God within us. We're gonna have to 169 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 5: use our faith. We're gonna have to believe in our abilities. 170 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 5: The apostle Paul wrote. 171 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 4: To a young man named Timothy. 172 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 5: He wrote a letter to him for two reasons, One 173 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 5: because he loved him, and two because he saw that 174 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 5: Timothy was extremely discouraged. He was facing some situations and 175 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 5: he did not feel like he had the ability to 176 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 5: carry out what God had called him to do. In fact, 177 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 5: his mentor, Paul was in prison, the mastermind of everything, 178 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 5: and he thought, oh my gosh, am I ever gonna 179 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 5: see Paul again? I mean, I need Paul. Have you 180 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 5: ever needed someone? Can you come with me? If you 181 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 5: could come with me? That's probably how he felt, Paul, 182 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 5: where are you? I cannot do this by myself. I'm young, 183 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 5: you see. But Paul wanted him to know this that 184 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 5: he could. So Paul said, there's a combination, a winning combination. 185 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 4: I'm going to tell you about it. So we wrote 186 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 4: him a letter, and. 187 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 5: He said, Timothy, I'm writing you this letter to remind 188 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 5: you to stir up the gifts of God within you 189 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 5: by faith. But since it's Mother's Day, can I back 190 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 5: up in that letter and just tell you one thing 191 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 5: that Paul said to all of you mothers out there, 192 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 5: I don't want you to take this mother to heart, 193 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 5: because I really believe this is what God's saying to 194 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 5: you today. He's saying, he wrote this. He said, Timothy, 195 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 5: I see the faith of your grandmother and of your mother, 196 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 5: and the faith that they had, I'm sure lives in you. 197 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 4: What a compliment. I mean, were a mother. That's a 198 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 4: very good compliment. If you see that I was a 199 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 4: good example to my children. 200 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 5: He was saying, I see that you came from a 201 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 5: good example. 202 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 4: You've learned how to live. 203 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 5: But then he said this, Paul, I believe this faith 204 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 5: lives in you, so it's time for you to use 205 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 5: your faith and stir up your gifts. I think in essence, 206 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 5: he was really giving those mothers the greatest compliment in 207 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 5: the world. He was charging their son to say, don't 208 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 5: live off your mama's faith. God's great that you have 209 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 5: an example, but it's time to find your faith, and 210 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 5: it's time to mix it with your ability because you've got. 211 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 4: A job to do. 212 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 5: You see, the breath of encouragement is the greatest gift 213 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 5: you can give someone's child, to say, find your faith. 214 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 5: You see, my dream would be that my children would 215 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 5: find their own faith. Yes, I've been a good example. 216 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 5: They would find their faith, and they would mix that 217 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 5: faith with the ability and the gifts that God's given them, 218 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 5: and they would charge into this world having a positive effect, 219 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 5: an eternal result on this earth. See, they're not here 220 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 5: by accident, and neither are you. They're here for a purpose. 221 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 5: You're going to go through many different seasons of life. 222 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 5: Don't just do it thinking you're getting through it. Do 223 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 5: it with purpose and destiny. Stir up the gifts. You 224 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 5: are making waves everywhere you go for God. 225 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 4: You have an assignment. God needs you. Your life matters. 226 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 5: Invite Jesus into every area of your life, inviting into. 227 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 4: Your boat, so to speak. 228 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 5: You see, the first time that Jesus met Simon Peter 229 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 5: before he changed his name, he had never met him before. 230 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 5: Simon Peter didn't know Jesus. Jesus came walking up because 231 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 5: the crowds were following him and Jesus needed to push 232 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 5: back a little bit from the crowd. He saw Simon 233 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 5: Peter and his crew over there washing nets because they'd 234 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 5: been fishing. Their boats were on the edge of the water, 235 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 5: and Jesus said, I need to get in your boat, 236 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 5: Simon Peter. 237 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 4: He said, you need to push me out a little ways. 238 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 5: And Simon Peter let him in his boat, and he 239 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 5: pushed him out, and Jesus said, I need to get 240 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 5: in that boat because see what I need to do is. 241 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 4: Continue the work that I am doing. 242 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 5: He was preaching to the people, but he needed a 243 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 5: little bit of break, so he needed to get in 244 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 5: Simon Peter's boat so he could finish the work. Now, 245 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,359 Speaker 5: Simon Peter's boat, you know what it represented. It represented 246 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 5: his office, it was his vocation, it was his livelihood. 247 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 5: He could have said to wait a minute, minute, that's 248 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 5: my boat. Can't get in my boat. That's only for fishing. 249 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 5: You know, it's real interesting. The day that Simon Peter 250 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 5: let him in his boat, that job that he had, 251 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 5: that fishing job, it became more than a job. 252 00:12:58,640 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 4: It became a calling. 253 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 5: When he allowed him in his boat so that Jesus 254 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 5: could do the work, that job wasn't just a job. 255 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 4: It became a calling for Peter's life. It became a 256 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 4: destiny and a passion. 257 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 5: He realized, no matter if I'm fishing, or if I 258 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 5: or if I'm with Jesus, I'm gonna do the work 259 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 5: of God. You see, he was a fisherman, but that 260 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 5: call him changed him into a fisher of men. God 261 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 5: wants in your boats. He wants in your school, he 262 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 5: wants in the middle of changing diapers, he wants in 263 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 5: the middle of your family. He wants to keep doing 264 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 5: the work. But guess what He's got to get in 265 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 5: your boat to finish it up. 266 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 4: You know what. I love my mother. She's here today. 267 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 4: Happy Mother's Day. 268 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:53,479 Speaker 5: I love Mydodie, she's here today, Happy Mother's Day. 269 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 4: I watched my mother. 270 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 5: She's had a business in Houston for the last forty years, 271 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 5: and I've watched her take that business, that jewelry business, 272 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 5: and turn it in. 273 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 4: To a pulpit. No, she wasn't called to. 274 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 5: A ministry behind a pulpit. But you know what she's done. 275 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 5: She's letting Jesus come in her boat. 276 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 4: She's always been. 277 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 5: The type of person who wanted to help people, who 278 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 5: love people, who would always be an encourager. And I'll 279 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 5: watch her from that business encourage people, invite them to church, 280 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 5: fuel their faith. See, she let Jesus in her boat. 281 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 5: And I was thinking about this the other day. She's 282 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 5: been in business a long time in the city, and 283 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 5: she's seen the economy go up, she's seen the economy 284 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 5: go down, and God's been. 285 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 4: Good to her. He sustained her business. 286 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 5: He sustained it, and I believe it's because he said, 287 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 5: I still need your boat. I still need your boat, 288 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 5: and I know that you'll give me your boat, so 289 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 5: IM will keep you afloat.
