Speaker 1: Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick.
Speaker 2: I'm the pastor of Elevation Church and this is our podcast.
Speaker 2: I wanted to thank you for joining us today. Hope
Speaker 2: this inspires you. Hope it builds your faith. Hope it
Speaker 2: gives your perspective to see God is moving in your life.
Speaker 3: Enjoy the message.
Speaker 1: I know we were singing it, but I want to know,
Speaker 1: do you really believe it? Do you believe that God
Speaker 1: can make away?
Speaker 3: Here's what I love about God.
Speaker 1: If he didn't have to give you a preview or
Speaker 1: a blues clue that he's about to make away, he
Speaker 1: can just do it. For those of you who are saying,
Speaker 1: I tell it doesn't look like he's about to make away,
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to look like. When God wants to
Speaker 1: make away, he will split a red seat, he will
Speaker 1: bring a wall down, whatever it is, He's able to
Speaker 1: do it. And I got a feeling he's gonna do
Speaker 1: something incredible today. Do you believe that? On across every location,
Speaker 1: would you give somebody a high five next to you
Speaker 1: and tell them I'm glad I'm next to you today.
Speaker 3: Come on, make sure they got some faith. High five Somebody.
Speaker 1: Say I'm glad I'm next to you today. Hey man, Amen,
Speaker 1: Hey remain standing. I want to do something. I want
Speaker 1: to do something. As was mentioned, I am not a
Speaker 1: guest here at Elevation. I'm a part of the family,
Speaker 1: but doctor myself in bring your greetings from the great
Speaker 1: country of Texas with my wife and I passed an
Speaker 1: amazing church social Dallas. And I don't take it lightly
Speaker 1: and I don't take it for granted, the opportunity to
Speaker 1: be here today. And I know what some of y'all
Speaker 1: are thinking, like, that's Stephen look different now I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not Pastor Stephen. I know some of y'all are disappointed.
Speaker 1: And I tried. I did extra bench press today just
Speaker 1: to come in and U Pastor Steven or the team
Speaker 1: are out Elevation Nights. God is doing incredible things, incredible
Speaker 1: things literally around the world. And here's what I'm hoping.
Speaker 1: First of all, I hope you're praying for the team
Speaker 1: as they're out ministering, that God would use them mightily,
Speaker 1: that they're gonna come back refresh. But not only that,
Speaker 1: I pray you never take for granted the gift that
Speaker 1: God has given you. If you needed any evidence, Elevation Nights,
Speaker 1: so let you know Pastor Steven and the team, they
Speaker 1: could go anywhere. Come on, somebody anywhere. So I pray
Speaker 1: you never take for granted that gift God has given
Speaker 1: you in Pastor Stephen, in Pastor Holly, and I always
Speaker 1: want to give honor to them. They have been a
Speaker 1: blessing to my life, to our church. I know they've
Speaker 1: been a blessing to you and the Capital C Church.
Speaker 1: So come on, can we let them know, just in
Speaker 1: case they're watching, we love you. Come on, y'all can
Speaker 1: do better than that. What. Thank you for your leadership,
Speaker 1: thank you for your sacrifice, thank you for your yes.
Speaker 1: So we don't have fun today? Are you all ready
Speaker 1: for the Wordma? Stayding and I'm gonna jump straight into it.
Speaker 1: I hope you feel like hearing it like I feel
Speaker 1: like preaching it. Come on, if you got a Bible,
Speaker 1: would you wave it in the air?
Speaker 3: I could just do.
Speaker 1: Care how many about a paper Bible? I see paper bibles? Okay,
Speaker 1: it's for real, save people. Come all, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
Speaker 1: Even if your Bible is glowing you good. I want
Speaker 1: you to go with me to a familiar passage of scripture.
Speaker 1: Can we thank God for this worship team. Y'all are amazing,
Speaker 1: so good. Thank you so much for meeting us into
Speaker 1: God's presence. We're gonna jump into a familiar passage of scripture.
Speaker 1: If this text was an eighteen episode Netflix series, we're
Speaker 1: jumping straight into episode seventeen. We're skipping all the other ones,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna see why in a moment. But first, Samuel,
Speaker 1: chapter number seventeen, and I want to look at versus
Speaker 1: forty one through forty seven. When you're ready to read it,
Speaker 1: say yeah, if you need some time to find it,
Speaker 1: say hold up. I heard them hold up, So I'm
Speaker 1: wait for you, wait for somebody on you fan waiting
Speaker 1: to find it. First Samuel, up to number seventeen. You're
Speaker 1: gonna start in verse number forty one. Thank you so much,
Speaker 1: And it says, meanwhile, the Philistine Meanwhile, it was a
Speaker 1: mean while, because for forty days, this giant has been
Speaker 1: verbally assaulting and attacking the children of Israel. He hadn't
Speaker 1: thrown a punch yet, but the threat of what he
Speaker 1: was about to do had them paralyzed in fear. Sometimes
Speaker 1: the enemy doesn't even do anything, but the threat of
Speaker 1: what could happen can lead many of us stuck in fear,
Speaker 1: he says. Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer in
Speaker 1: front of him, kept coming closer to David. You looked
Speaker 1: David over and saw that he was little more than
Speaker 1: a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him.
Speaker 1: That bless me. So he's a hater. But he's still
Speaker 1: got to admit, Yo, you healthy and you hanswer. I
Speaker 1: don't like you like I admit you look good, he
Speaker 1: says to David. Am I a dog that you come
Speaker 1: at me with sticks? The Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Speaker 1: Come here, he said, and I'll give your flesh to
Speaker 1: the birds and the wild animals. David said to the Philistine,
Speaker 1: you come against me with sword and spear and javelin.
Speaker 1: But I come against you in the name of the
Speaker 1: Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom
Speaker 1: you have defied. This day, somebody say, this day, this day,
Speaker 1: the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I'll
Speaker 1: strike you down and cut off your head. This very
Speaker 1: day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army
Speaker 1: to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole
Speaker 1: world will know there is a God in Israel.
Speaker 3: All those gathered here will know it is not by.
Speaker 1: Sword or spear that the Lord saves, for the battle
Speaker 1: is the Lord's, and he will give all of you
Speaker 1: into our hands. Can you say a man? Can you
Speaker 1: say a man? If that don't make a shout, I
Speaker 1: don't know what else. Really, look at what David is
Speaker 1: saying before he starts fighting. I'm gonna preach today, not long,
Speaker 1: probably about three and a half hours, using this as
Speaker 1: a title.
Speaker 3: Who you talking to?
Speaker 1: Who you now? Who are you talking to? Who you
Speaker 1: talking to? You gotta help me pre this. Look at
Speaker 1: the person next to you one last time, say neighbor,
Speaker 1: I got a question? Who are you talking to? Come on,
Speaker 1: find another neighbor. Find another neighbor, because that neighborhood stuck up.
Speaker 3: Come on, say other neighbor. You my second option, But
Speaker 3: I gotta ask who you're talking to.
Speaker 1: If you believe God's gonna speak today, would you give
Speaker 1: us some praise?
Speaker 2: Father?
Speaker 1: Have your way speak today? Amen? You can sit out,
Speaker 1: you can sit down. You talking to.
Speaker 3: Elevation fam.
Speaker 1: Before I really jump into this text today, I want
Speaker 1: to do something that I have never done in all
Speaker 1: my years of coming to elevation. Don't get nervous. I
Speaker 1: talked to past Steve, but we're good. Were good. But
Speaker 1: there's someone who is here today who I want to
Speaker 1: come out just for a moment and share a few
Speaker 1: words with you. And the reason I want them to
Speaker 1: come out is because this person is, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: one of the most influential and greatest communicators of our lifetime.
Speaker 1: And I'm putting them on the spot. You're gonna know
Speaker 1: exactly who they are as soon as they come out. Okay, don't,
Speaker 1: don't pass out, But can we just welcome them before
Speaker 1: they even come out? I just want them to share.
Speaker 1: Just for them, they can welcome across every location. Come on, y'all,
Speaker 1: would you make them feel welcome?
Speaker 3: Come on, y'all? Can you see you? Yep, ephil I'm
Speaker 3: blind and somebody can.
Speaker 1: You'll see him. Make sure you get a good look
Speaker 1: at yourself. And some of y'all, are you played too much?
Speaker 3: I saw some of you. It's not like who is it?
Speaker 1: You had you have already. But please don't let the
Speaker 1: comedy mitigate the weight of what I said in my introduction,
Speaker 1: my fake introduction. I said, I want to bring out
Speaker 1: someone who is the greatest and most influential communicator.
Speaker 3: Then I brought out a mirror and asked you, can.
Speaker 1: You see you? Because I want to ask you, who
Speaker 1: talks to you more than you, Who influences you more
Speaker 1: than you, Who tells you where to go and where
Speaker 1: not to go, what to wear and what not to wear,
Speaker 1: what to post and what not to post more than you.
Speaker 1: You are an influential communicator. You are a powerful communicator.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, you are not just the
Speaker 1: greatest communicator that you have ever heard, You're the greatest
Speaker 1: communicator that you are always hearing. There's always a voice
Speaker 1: on the inside talking to you about you, who who
Speaker 1: you talking to? I'm fully aware that as I'm preaching today,
Speaker 1: although I'm preaching the infallible, incorruptible, everlasting, eternal Word of God,
Speaker 1: and I do everything in my power to preach it
Speaker 1: with clarity and precision, however, I'm aware that the most
Speaker 1: important thing is not necessarily what I'm saying to you.
Speaker 1: It's what you are saying to you about what I'm
Speaker 1: saying to you. That's the important voice today. What are
Speaker 1: you saying about what I'm saying? I could be saying
Speaker 1: God's gonna use you, and then that voice says who
Speaker 1: your trauma and your baggage, not you.
Speaker 3: I could be saying things like, oh, you're suffering. It's
Speaker 3: not for nothing.
Speaker 1: God is able to use that suffering to shape you
Speaker 1: into the image of Christ. But then you can say
Speaker 1: to you, no, I shouldn't be going through this anyway,
Speaker 1: and God, this is your fault. This suffering means nothing.
Speaker 3: I could be saying to you that God is gonna
Speaker 3: open up a door this year.
Speaker 1: And then you'll say to you, well, he should have
Speaker 1: done it in January. We and I'm told. But now.
Speaker 3: I want to know what are you saying to you?
Speaker 3: Who you talking to?
Speaker 1: Because that voice is critical. It is the internal narrative
Speaker 1: that is navigating your life right now. It is the
Speaker 1: story that you are perpetually telling yourself. Who are you
Speaker 1: talking to? Some of you would slap a person if
Speaker 1: they talk to you the way you talk to you.
Speaker 1: I want to know what is the conversation that you
Speaker 1: are having in your head right now? Who are you
Speaker 1: talking to? Because that voice is the one that matters.
Speaker 1: Is it that negative voice that wants to shoot down
Speaker 1: everything God wants to do to you? By the way,
Speaker 1: where does that come from the devil? It's a demon maybe,
Speaker 1: But have you ever noticed, at least for me, the
Speaker 1: devil never sounds like the devil in my head. I
Speaker 1: have never in my life heard a voice saying you however,
Speaker 1: it don't sound like that. Have you ever known that
Speaker 1: the enemy always sounds like you in your head?
Speaker 3: And that is the voice that you are.
Speaker 1: A warrior against, that you are waging war against every day.
Speaker 3: Who are you talking to?
Speaker 1: For some of us, it's the voice of somebody else
Speaker 1: that planted a seed in our mind, and we have
Speaker 1: been watering that seed over the years, rehearsing it over
Speaker 1: and over and over again, and it's become a stronghold
Speaker 1: in our minds. Who are you talking to? Reminds me
Speaker 1: of a fighter. I'll never forget watching this fighter who
Speaker 1: won this fight, powerful fighter, and he won the championship
Speaker 1: and they were interviewing him after he won, and after
Speaker 1: one he was excited about winning the fight. This sudden
Speaker 1: he looks in the camera and he says in the camera,
Speaker 1: he goes, see dad, see I'm not a loser.
Speaker 3: I am somebody. And the interviewer was looking at him like,
Speaker 3: who are you talking too?
Speaker 1: But he had a moment where he blacked out, and
Speaker 1: you delve into a store, you find out that he
Speaker 1: was verbally and physically abused by his father. In every
Speaker 1: fight that he had, he would put the image of
Speaker 1: his father on his opponent, and that's how he would
Speaker 1: win the fight. And he was fighting and won a victory.
Speaker 1: But the bigger fight was the internal conversation that's happening
Speaker 1: in his head. Ladies and gentlemen, I am realizing that
Speaker 1: most of the fights have little to do with the
Speaker 1: external confrontation, but everything to do with the internal conversations
Speaker 1: that you are having with yourself. I just want to
Speaker 1: talk to you today and ask you who are you
Speaker 1: talking to. I want you to elbow somebody next to
Speaker 1: you and say, I think this is for you.
Speaker 3: I think this is for you.
Speaker 1: Now elbaum, tell them they need this for you. Brings
Speaker 1: me to my text today. My text today in First
Speaker 1: Samuel chapter number seventeen. I shouldn't even read the text,
Speaker 1: let's be honest, because come on, y'all, it's David and Goliath.
Speaker 1: I think when I was reading some of y'all like,
Speaker 1: are you for real? This is what I got out
Speaker 1: of bed for First Samuel chapter seventeen. Everybody knows the
Speaker 1: story of David and Goliath. Come on, I've been raised
Speaker 1: in church, and I've heard some people jack up some
Speaker 1: Bible stories. I mean, I've heard them jack up a
Speaker 1: lot of Bible stories. I remember one dude, he was
Speaker 1: new to the faith. He came to me, tears in
Speaker 1: his eyes. He's like, hey, Pastor, let's mess up how
Speaker 1: they did Joseph. They threw him in that pit. I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, He's like, but he came back. I said,
Speaker 1: he sure did. He's like, yeah, he came back because
Speaker 1: he got married to Mary and then they gave birth
Speaker 1: to Jesus. I knew that. I ain't correct him. I
Speaker 1: was like, God, God can turn it around. I can
Speaker 1: turn it out. People can Jacob John Jumps and Bible stores,
Speaker 1: but don't nobody Jacob David and Goliath.
Speaker 3: Come on, you know that story. I don't care if
Speaker 3: you ain't been the church at a minute.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows the story of David and Goliath, and ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. Perhaps that's the problem, because it is our
Speaker 1: familiarity with this text that robs us of the revelation
Speaker 1: that is in this text. And all this week I
Speaker 1: was saying, Holy Spirit, help me see it in a
Speaker 1: different way, help me see it.
Speaker 3: And the more I looked at it, I realized is
Speaker 3: not about the fight. It has little to.
Speaker 1: Do with the fight in the valley against Goliath, y'all.
Speaker 1: That is the shortest part of the text. The fight
Speaker 1: is not that long. I mean, we can really put
Speaker 1: this fight in four phrases. He hit them with a rock,
Speaker 1: he fell, I'm dead, he cut up his head.
Speaker 3: Hooray. That's the fight, right that. That is the entire fight.
Speaker 3: Why in the world, then are there fifty eight in.
Speaker 1: Onest Samuel seventeen.
Speaker 3: What in the world takes up all that space of
Speaker 3: fifty eight versus? Is all that?
Speaker 1: All that talking, All these conversations are happening before the confrontation.
Speaker 3: There are so many conversations.
Speaker 1: Don't forget when we come up against Goliath the first
Speaker 1: time we see him, he's not fighting. He's talking for
Speaker 1: forty days. He's just showed up, just talking. It's not
Speaker 1: like he showed up for forty days cutting off heads.
Speaker 1: I can understand if you'd be scared, then no, this
Speaker 1: dude is just running his mouth and talking. And there's
Speaker 1: something about them entertaining this conversation that calls them to
Speaker 1: be paralyzed in fear. It is the conversation, not necessarily
Speaker 1: the confrontation. Some of us are losing the fight not
Speaker 1: when we get in the valley, but before the valley,
Speaker 1: because the enemy has already convinced you that you don't
Speaker 1: have what it takes for the fight.
Speaker 3: Who are you talking to?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: This is why I love David.
Speaker 1: Because when David was ostracized and alienated out with those sheep,
Speaker 1: he went out there by himsel. He was out there
Speaker 1: talking to God. He was out there saying, the Lord
Speaker 1: is my shepherd. I shall not want he makes me
Speaker 1: lie down in Green Castris. That's why he had confidence
Speaker 1: because of who he was talking to out fair. I
Speaker 1: want to know who you're talking to. What is the
Speaker 1: conversation you are having with yourself? And so here's what
Speaker 1: I want to do today, and I'm gonna get you
Speaker 1: the brunch. I just want us for a moment to
Speaker 1: look at five critical conversations that David had before he
Speaker 1: ever got to the fight. These five critical conversations. If
Speaker 1: David messes up in any of them, he never gets
Speaker 1: to fight his battle in the valley. If he loses
Speaker 1: the fight with these five conversations that preceded the confrontation.
Speaker 3: Y'all good, Can we talk about him?
Speaker 1: Yeah? The first conversation, I want to look at it.
Speaker 1: It's what I call the Uber Eats conversation. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: Uber East conversation happens between David and his father Jesse,
Speaker 1: and Jesse comes to him in First Samuel seventeen, says, Hey, Dave,
Speaker 1: I need you to go to the battlefield and bring
Speaker 1: your brother some cheeses and bring them some bread. Just
Speaker 1: make an Uber Eats delivery. This is what I need
Speaker 1: you to do, which doesn't seem like a big thing,
Speaker 1: but it is a major thing. It seems like a
Speaker 1: small thing, but it's a big thing. I've learned in
Speaker 1: life that the small things are actually the big things.
Speaker 1: And sometimes you can't tell which small thing is actually
Speaker 1: a big thing. That's why you have to be careful
Speaker 1: how you do the small thing. It was just a
Speaker 1: small thing to go deliver the cheese and the bread.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't seem like his dad asked a big
Speaker 1: deal of him until you read First Samuel chapter sixteen,
Speaker 1: and remember what happened.
Speaker 3: Don't forget.
Speaker 1: David has already been anointed to be the next king
Speaker 1: and first Samuel chapter sixteen. You remember what happened to
Speaker 1: prophet Samuel. He comes into town, he's looking for the
Speaker 1: next king, and here comes Jesse with all of his sons,
Speaker 1: all seven of them lined up. He did not even
Speaker 1: deem David worthy to be brought before the prophet.
Speaker 3: And here he is looking at all these sons saying, Nope,
Speaker 3: that ain't it.
Speaker 1: Nope, that ain't it. Nope, that in And then it
Speaker 1: has to ask a crazy question to a father, do you.
Speaker 3: Got any other kids?
Speaker 1: And he's like, oh, yeah, my bad, I forgot Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do have another one, but he's out in the field.
Speaker 3: He's out in the.
Speaker 1: Field, and I love what Samuel does. He says, go
Speaker 1: get him. In the most gangst move, he says, we
Speaker 1: will not sit down until he comes in the room.
Speaker 1: He makes all them brothers stand in their rejection. How long?
Speaker 1: How long do they have to wait for David to
Speaker 1: get in the room, like okay, hurry up? And then
Speaker 1: here comes David. Hey, hey guys, oh hey, Samuel, did
Speaker 1: I didn't know the prophet was coming in? Is there?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 1: What's what's what's coming on? Samuel goes, you're in and
Speaker 1: anoints him in front of his brothers. This is a
Speaker 1: destiny moment. Can you imagine being David after being castigated
Speaker 1: and ostracizing. Now you've been anointed as the next king
Speaker 1: in front of your brothers. But in the next chapter,
Speaker 1: your father calls you. I wonder if David thought, Oh,
Speaker 1: I bet he gonna apologize for not invited me to
Speaker 1: the coronation. No, he's telling you go take lunch to
Speaker 1: your brothers. And David doesn't do what some of us
Speaker 1: would have done. Gone, who you're talking to? I'm the
Speaker 1: next king?
Speaker 3: You want me to drop charcuterie.
Speaker 1: No, I don't know. I'm sorry. Maybe maybe you didn't
Speaker 1: see it. Y'all didn't invite me. I'm the next king.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: But he doesn't.
Speaker 3: He doesn't do that.
Speaker 1: He doesn't do that. He pulls a Chick fil A
Speaker 1: and says, my pleasure, my pleasure, my pleasure. If my
Speaker 1: father wants me to do something, my pleasure. If my
Speaker 1: father hasn't assiment for me, my pleasure, ifn't has to
Speaker 1: be glorious. Whatever my father asked of me, my pleasure.
Speaker 1: So he passes the test in this conversation because David
Speaker 1: is showing us a heart of humility, a heart of humility.
Speaker 1: David did not think it beneath him to go deliver
Speaker 1: food to his brothers. You know why some of us
Speaker 1: never knocked down our goliath, because we can never knock
Speaker 1: down the giant of pride. You too special, you too
Speaker 1: wonderful to go deliver lunch to somebody else. And that's
Speaker 1: why you'll never step into the effulgence of your destiny,
Speaker 1: because pride will shut doors that God is trying to open.
Speaker 1: But when you have a heart of humility, the heavens
Speaker 1: open up over somebody that is humble enough to say.
Speaker 3: Whatever my father wants, I'll go do it.
Speaker 1: I know I'm the next king. But if my father
Speaker 1: has requested something of me, my pleasure, where have we
Speaker 1: seen this before? Oh Jesus, who thought it not robbery
Speaker 1: to come from heaven down to earth. And he came
Speaker 1: to the humans he created, and they rejected him, and
Speaker 1: yet with humility he came to serve. Can I tell
Speaker 1: you pride is what's blocking the door for you. You
Speaker 1: don't get the past to test because you haven't had
Speaker 1: a heart of humility. Can I fix somebody's marriage? Just
Speaker 1: real quick?
Speaker 3: Three seconds? You're ready.
Speaker 1: Here's the problem.
Speaker 3: Pride. That's a problem.
Speaker 1: Too much pride to say I'm sorry, too much pride
Speaker 1: to say I was wrong, too much pride to go
Speaker 1: to count. The pride is what blocks. But David has
Speaker 1: a heart of humility, and he gets to the battle
Speaker 1: and watch the timing, the sovereign timing of God. Just
Speaker 1: at the moment that David delivers the lunch I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: right after he takes the picture to send to him
Speaker 1: to say orders delivered. At that exact moment is when
Speaker 1: Goliath comes out and start saying what he's been saying
Speaker 1: for forty days, what they've heard for forty days. David hears,
Speaker 1: in one moment, says, oh, hold up, what is this
Speaker 1: right here? Hold on?
Speaker 3: No, no, not on my watch? Is there not a cause?
Speaker 3: Isn't it funny?
Speaker 1: They heard it for forty days, But in one moment,
Speaker 1: David heard something different. What they heard had been paralyzed
Speaker 1: in fear, but it had David getting ready to move
Speaker 1: out in fave.
Speaker 3: What they heard, they fought his opposition.
Speaker 1: What David heard, he said, no, this is an opportunity
Speaker 1: for God to do something. He heard something different, and
Speaker 1: one moment, why did they hear it because of who
Speaker 1: he was talking to. He was talking to a God
Speaker 1: that he knew could use him to take down that
Speaker 1: chart who you're talking to.
Speaker 3: Isn't it crazy how people can hear the same thing
Speaker 3: but have totally different I call it the frequency of faith.
Speaker 1: Oh, when you have a frequency of faith in God,
Speaker 1: you will hear things different than people who are just
Speaker 1: walking by sight and now walking by faith, because faith
Speaker 1: comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
Speaker 1: So when some people are walking by sight, don't get
Speaker 1: it confused when they don't understand why you're moving the
Speaker 1: way you're moving because you hear something different. We can
Speaker 1: hear the same thing but have completely different responses because
Speaker 1: his ear was tuned into the frequency of faith. It
Speaker 1: rem reminds me of this group of people who are
Speaker 1: interviewing for a job back in the day. They're interviewing
Speaker 1: for a job and the job had them standing in
Speaker 1: line waiting for the interview. It's like three hundred people
Speaker 1: in line waiting for this interview to go in. But
Speaker 1: what they didn't know, the people who waiting in line,
Speaker 1: was that the interview was actually for somebody that knew
Speaker 1: Morse code so here they are standing the line. While
Speaker 1: they were standing in line, over an intercom morse code
Speaker 1: was going on, and the message of the Morse code was.
Speaker 3: If you.
Speaker 1: Can interpret this message, get out of line and come
Speaker 1: straight to the front door. All of a sudden, one
Speaker 1: dude who could interpret morse code gets out of the line.
Speaker 1: He was in the back and walked all the way
Speaker 1: up to the front and walked in, and everybody was
Speaker 1: looking at him like what is he doing. The reason
Speaker 1: that he walked in when everybody else stood still is because.
Speaker 3: He could hear something that they couldn't hear.
Speaker 1: See. People will never understand the way you moved because
Speaker 1: they don't hear it the way you hear it. See
Speaker 1: you heard they're not hiring folks. I don't have a job,
Speaker 1: I heard. God must have something else for me and
Speaker 1: another job.
Speaker 4: You heard.
Speaker 1: I don't want to go on a date with you,
Speaker 1: so I must be worthless, I heard, God. Thank you
Speaker 1: for not letting me waste my time on the day.
Speaker 1: You must have somebody else from me. I didn't even
Speaker 1: have to go to Cheesecake Factor to figure it out.
Speaker 1: Thank you that they rejected.
Speaker 4: What are you hearing?
Speaker 1: There's a frequency the faith. And so David heard something different,
Speaker 1: and watch what his action does. He goes, he talks
Speaker 1: to the soldiers. Here's another conversation. He goes, uh, what
Speaker 1: will be given to the man that defeats him? First
Speaker 1: words out of his mouth, the conversation to the soldier, Hey,
Speaker 1: what will be given to the man who defeats him?
Speaker 1: You missed it, David, here's Goliath. And then goes, what
Speaker 1: will be given to the man that defeats him? David
Speaker 1: already sees himself winning. He already sees himself winning. The
Speaker 1: back y'all sitting up here talking about his shield and
Speaker 1: his armor. I'm trying to figure out what does the
Speaker 1: man get who knocks him out? Because I am that man.
Speaker 1: I'm about to knock him out. He said. He said, Yo,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get the king's daughter in marriage, and you
Speaker 1: don't have to pay taxes? Say less? Say less? Where's
Speaker 1: no taxi? Where's my sling shot? In other words, he
Speaker 1: doesn't just have a harder humility, He's got a vision
Speaker 1: of victory. He can already see himself winning. While everybody
Speaker 1: else is focused or how big it is, David's like that,
Speaker 1: that's not my focus. I'm trying to figure out what
Speaker 1: do you get if you knock him down? Because I'm
Speaker 1: about to knock him down. When you read for Samuel
Speaker 1: and you see all the imagery that is giving about
Speaker 1: Delia's armor and his shield, what the writer is doing
Speaker 1: through beautiful poetry, He's actually shown you what the soldiers
Speaker 1: are focused on, which is why they're paralyzed in fear,
Speaker 1: because whatever you focus on is what's going to grow
Speaker 1: in your life.
Speaker 3: They're focused on the shield like.
Speaker 1: It is that bronze. Yeah, how much do you think
Speaker 1: of ways? I don't know, but it's got to be heavy.
Speaker 1: That's that's what they are focused on, which is why
Speaker 1: they're paralyzed and fear. David was talking to somebody else.
Speaker 1: He had a vision of victory. Do you have a
Speaker 1: vision of victory? Do you see yourself winning? Do you
Speaker 1: even see the marriage be in the hell?
Speaker 3: Do you see that.
Speaker 1: Child coming back home? Do you see it? I know
Speaker 1: that the enemy's trying to cloud your vision, but I
Speaker 1: want to encourage you today see it.
Speaker 4: Have a vision of victory, because if you can't see it,
Speaker 4: it's gonna be hard for you to receive it.
Speaker 1: Can you see yourself winning? Or have you lost so
Speaker 1: much hope that you don't see it anymore. Can I
Speaker 1: just testify about the season I'm in right now? We
Speaker 1: in a crazy season. Our church is three years old.
Speaker 1: God's doing incredible things. It's exploding, and we decided in
Speaker 1: the middle of all that to homeschool our kids in
Speaker 1: this season. And only that, I'm going back to school
Speaker 1: and working on a master's degree that I didn't finish.
Speaker 1: All that's going on, I leading the church, and y'all,
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's hard out here in these streets. Oh
Speaker 1: by the way, did I mention Our church is mobile
Speaker 1: and we've been in ten different venues in the last
Speaker 1: three years, trying to find a space. We don't have
Speaker 1: a building, and.
Speaker 3: It's hard in these streets.
Speaker 1: But you know what's keeping me. I got a vision
Speaker 1: I can't see. Oh, I see myself in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: six walking across the stage, my master's degree completed with
Speaker 1: that hood of I see myself. I see us having
Speaker 1: our own building where we can give God glory and put.
Speaker 4: I see it.
Speaker 1: I stan.
Speaker 3: That's what's kicking from me right now? Is I got
Speaker 3: a vision?
Speaker 1: A good do it?
Speaker 4: What do you see?
Speaker 1: What do you see? Yo? I see myself at eighty
Speaker 1: years old, still coming to church. I'm still gonna pull
Speaker 1: up an elevation. I probably won't be preaching at eighty eight,
Speaker 1: but I'm just gonna be in an artist, just standing
Speaker 1: up going to preach.
Speaker 3: Now, who that crazy dude?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: He used to come back in the day and speak,
Speaker 3: do you have a vision a victory?
Speaker 1: He saw it. He talked to the soldiers. He said,
Speaker 1: what do you get them mountain? Because I'm about to
Speaker 1: knock him out. He had a vision of victory. Right
Speaker 1: after he talks to the soldiers, somebody else shows up. Oh,
Speaker 1: and this is a critical conversation. His older brother, Eli
Speaker 1: Have comes up to him. I imagine him running up
Speaker 1: to him, what are you doing here?
Speaker 3: Reading?
Speaker 1: When you get to the crib, he's burning with anger
Speaker 1: translation he's big man, and he says, what are you
Speaker 1: doing here? And with whom have you left those little sheep?
Speaker 1: You know somebody's trying to get at you when they
Speaker 1: try to put a little number to your stuff. Don't
Speaker 1: nobody care about you your little job? Ah? You think
Speaker 1: I care about your little car?
Speaker 3: You left them?
Speaker 1: Borrow money? Can I get that little hundred dollars you
Speaker 1: care about? That or one little one you ask for anyway?
Speaker 1: With whom have you left those few sheep? I know
Speaker 1: the conceit and the arrogance that is in your heart.
Speaker 1: You come down here to see the battle. EXE was me.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what battle?
Speaker 1: Y'all? Ain't fighting? Y'all?
Speaker 3: Eliab is mad.
Speaker 1: And hear me. I understand Eliab's anger. The Bible gives
Speaker 1: you a blues clue to his anger because remember in
Speaker 1: First Samdue chapter sixteen, whenever the prophet comes, when he
Speaker 1: comes to anoint the next king, guess who Samuel's first
Speaker 1: pick was. It was Eliab, y'all.
Speaker 3: Eliab looked the part of the next king. He was
Speaker 3: Samuel's first pick. Eli App is the reason this scripture
Speaker 3: is in your Bible.
Speaker 1: Man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at
Speaker 1: the heart. Eli Ab is frustrated with the rejection. Eliab
Speaker 1: is jealous and envious of David, and he comes with
Speaker 1: that energy to him, what are you doing here? I
Speaker 1: love what David says back to him, He's like, what
Speaker 1: did I do? Now? What I do now? That means
Speaker 1: this has happened before? What did I do? Now?
Speaker 3: Can I just talk?
Speaker 1: And then he makes a powerful move that you have
Speaker 1: to learn to make.
Speaker 3: Watch it.
Speaker 1: Watch it. They're spiritual, The Bible says, he turns his
Speaker 1: back on Elab.
Speaker 3: He watched it.
Speaker 1: Woman talk. He turns his back on e Lab. Do
Speaker 1: you know what that turn signifies? I know my real enemy. Eliab.
Speaker 1: You are not my real enemy. I don't just have
Speaker 1: a heart of humility. I don't just have a vision
Speaker 1: of victory. I know who my real enemy is.
Speaker 3: Eliab. You are not my enemy. You are my brother.
Speaker 1: My real enemy is behind you, and I cannot waste
Speaker 1: energy and all my fight trying to fight you when
Speaker 1: you ain't the real enemy. Goliath is the enemy. So
Speaker 1: I gotta turn my back on you and stay focused
Speaker 1: on my assignment. I don't know who this is for,
Speaker 1: but you have been wasting energy trying to your brother
Speaker 1: or your sister in trist and they are not your enemy.
Speaker 1: We wrestle not with flesh and blood, but with principality.
Speaker 1: You better learned to know who the real enemy is
Speaker 1: and it's not your brother. Who can I just speak
Speaker 1: in this crazy season where people lose their minds in
Speaker 1: political seasons and let you know your brother and.
Speaker 3: Your sister is not your enemy. We got a bigger
Speaker 3: battle to type.
Speaker 1: We gotta kill the enemy that's trying to destroy this
Speaker 1: nation and.
Speaker 3: Our kids and our family. You better know where the.
Speaker 4: Real enemy is.
Speaker 1: Elia is not your enemy. Oh you in the common
Speaker 1: section talking to Elijah, wasted energy?
Speaker 3: Your kids, Mimmy, can we go play?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: They crazy? Let me respond to this now, I'm not
Speaker 1: the one hold on.
Speaker 3: To kids, waste the energy fighting eli Ab when he
Speaker 3: is not your enemy.
Speaker 1: And Goliath would love for you to pull out your
Speaker 1: sling shot on eli App and start fighting right there,
Speaker 1: all while he towers and laughs. But David had enough
Speaker 1: wisdom to know I can't fight you. You're my brother.
Speaker 3: You're my brother. I came to bring you cheese, and
Speaker 3: you mad at me.
Speaker 1: But guess what, I'm still not gonna I'm still not
Speaker 1: gonna fall into this trap to fight you. You are
Speaker 1: not my enemy. I'm gonna turn my back because I
Speaker 1: know where I knew my real enemy is. Some of
Speaker 1: you have been fighting your brother and your sister in
Speaker 1: Christ because you think they're the enemy, and I came
Speaker 1: to tell you they're not. You're doing like my oldest girl, Evy.
Speaker 1: I went to her room the other day and on
Speaker 1: her wall and on the door. She had no siblings on.
Speaker 1: I didn't want her younger brother or sister in the room.
Speaker 1: I mean, beautifully color on her front door. No siblings home.
Speaker 1: I said, that's interesting, because I don't remember the last
Speaker 1: time you paid a light bill. The mortgets it's the
Speaker 1: father's house. But you're trying to pick and choose which
Speaker 1: sibling can come in or out. Not my enemy. He
Speaker 1: turns his back when Eli abed and goes right into
Speaker 1: the next conversation. Miss Saul. Saul has had the answer.
Speaker 1: Walking to his office, David's like, letting nobody fear I'm
Speaker 1: gonna fight him. You would think you would get some encouragement.
Speaker 1: He gets discouraged by Saul. Saul says, you can't fight him.
Speaker 3: You're just the youth. He's been killing people since his youth.
Speaker 1: Have you ever had the voice of somebody else who
Speaker 1: is too scared to step into something, project their fear
Speaker 1: onto you, and they want to tell you what you
Speaker 1: can't do and give you a history of the enemy.
Speaker 1: He's like, you cannot fight goliaf He's killed so many people,
Speaker 1: some of you allowed the words of other people to
Speaker 1: get in your head. You can't defeat that alcoholism. It's
Speaker 1: destroyed everybody in your family. You can't beat that addiction.
Speaker 1: You can't be free. Everybody in your family is an addict.
Speaker 1: You can't be a great father. You never saw one.
Speaker 1: Have you ever had somebody tell you the history of
Speaker 1: a giant to make you feel like there's no way
Speaker 1: I can fight? But shout out to David. He's like,
Speaker 1: you talking about the history or Goliath, but you don't
Speaker 1: know about the history I have with God. When I
Speaker 1: was out in green pastures and it was just him
Speaker 1: talking to me, he said, I was out there, soul.
Speaker 1: Just so you know, I killed a bear and I
Speaker 1: killed a lion. I am posted, but it happened. If
Speaker 1: I had time. I wish we had the people that
Speaker 1: would just win some private battles first. And you ain't
Speaker 1: gotta tell everybody about your private battle before you get
Speaker 1: to the big battle. But anyway, that's another message.
Speaker 3: He said, Yeah, I defeated a lion, I defeated a bear.
Speaker 1: I feel like the same God that helped me defeat
Speaker 1: the lion and the bear help me knock him down too.
Speaker 1: Song goes, all right, the Lord be with you. That's
Speaker 1: in the Bible, and he says, oh, but before you go,
Speaker 1: come here, takes his armor, puts it on David. Put
Speaker 1: yourself in David's shoes.
Speaker 3: Y'all.
Speaker 1: This boy has been out with sheep. He's now finds
Speaker 1: himself in the presence of a king who puts his
Speaker 1: armor on him. No, this is like being in the
Speaker 1: locker room and Lebron going, you know, put this jersey armor.
Speaker 1: Just can you imagine? And here he is a shepherd
Speaker 1: boy wearing the king's armor. I wonder if there was
Speaker 1: a mirror, and he looked. He said, wow, I've never
Speaker 1: put on armor before, and certainly not armored this nice.
Speaker 1: I think while it was on, there had to be
Speaker 1: a temptation. Maybe I could, Maybe I could fight in this.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know I killed the lion and the bear,
Speaker 1: but this is a different This is a different battle.
Speaker 1: Maybe a different battle requires different weapons. So maybe I
Speaker 1: should go out in this armor. But then something clicks.
Speaker 1: He says, no, wait a minute, this looks nice, and
Speaker 1: so this might work for you, but it's not me.
Speaker 1: On I was praying for you this morning, and I
Speaker 1: was thinking about somebody who has on somebody else's armor.
Speaker 1: Some of you been wearing it for years, and you're
Speaker 1: trying to convince yourself that is you, but you know
Speaker 1: internally to say you, you've been trying to be your sister.
Speaker 1: You've been trying to be your brother. You've been trying
Speaker 1: to be the person that was in the position before
Speaker 1: you got in the position. God sit me from Dallas, Texas.
Speaker 1: Tell you you.
Speaker 3: Gotta do what David did. Work your weapon, Work your weapon.
Speaker 3: Watch this.
Speaker 1: People think the boldest and bravest move David did was
Speaker 1: to throw that rock. I think the boldest move was
Speaker 1: to take off Saul's armor and say I cannot defeat
Speaker 1: my giant in somebody else's armor. I've gotta work my weapon.
Speaker 1: I've got to use what God has given me. Hear me,
Speaker 1: You'll never grab your weapon until you take off somebody
Speaker 1: else's armor. Can you prove it in the text?
Speaker 3: I sure can.
Speaker 1: First Samuel seventeen, verse thirty nine. Look at what it says.
Speaker 1: It says, so he took them off. What did you
Speaker 1: take off Saul's armor? He took them off. Then he
Speaker 1: took his staff in his hand, chose file smooth stones
Speaker 1: from the stream, put them in the pouch of a
Speaker 1: shepherd's back. And with his sling in his hand, a
Speaker 1: person filled a sign. He took them off. Then he
Speaker 1: took You cannot take what's yours to fight with until
Speaker 1: you first take off what is not. You work your weapon.
Speaker 1: Can I make a confession? Oh I'm a horrible Pastor Steven,
Speaker 1: I'm a horrible Joyce Meyer.
Speaker 3: Oh I'm not a good Matt Chandler. But guess what,
Speaker 3: I'm the best Robert Madou, you have.
Speaker 1: Had a say in your life, and I've learned no
Speaker 1: matter the stage, it's a big stage. I gotta work
Speaker 1: my weapon. I've got to be me and you've got
Speaker 1: to be you. There's a weapon God that's given you
Speaker 1: to defeat your giant. Can y'all play real softly so
Speaker 1: I can land the plane? He had a herd of humility. Sure,
Speaker 1: I'll go take the lunch. He had a vision of victory.
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna knock this giant. Now what do
Speaker 1: you get for knocking him out? He did what he
Speaker 1: knew his real enemy, My brother's not my enemy, Goliath is.
Speaker 1: Then he said, I gotta work my weapon. No more comparison.
Speaker 1: God gave me a slinging a rock. I'm gonna work
Speaker 1: that and so he goes ooh to the battle. This
Speaker 1: is the final conversation. He walks out. You see him, handsome,
Speaker 1: blowing with hell, small compared to this giant. And he
Speaker 1: walks out and he's ready.
Speaker 3: And Goliath laughs at him.
Speaker 4: Is this a joke?
Speaker 3: Am I a dog?
Speaker 1: Y'all?
Speaker 3: Come at me with sticks?
Speaker 4: Is this for real?
Speaker 1: Mocks him? You know it's the enemy. Whenever you are
Speaker 1: being mocked, the enemy loves to more. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: the father of all lies. If he's talking, he's lying.
Speaker 1: Lying is the native language. But he does have a
Speaker 1: second language. It's called mocking. He loves me. Really you,
Speaker 1: Oh you gonna lift up your hands and workship autter
Speaker 1: what you did last night?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 3: You think God can use you.
Speaker 1: With all your issues? He loves Am I a dog?
Speaker 1: You come at me with sticks? He said, Hey, you
Speaker 1: come at me with sword and spear, But I come
Speaker 1: at you. And the name of the Lord takes the sling.
Speaker 3: You know the story.
Speaker 1: Takes the sling, hits Goliath in forehead, knocks him down. Now,
Speaker 1: because you've heard the story, I've heard store too. I'm
Speaker 1: curious if you know that there are scientists that actually
Speaker 1: look at scripture through the lens of science, and there
Speaker 1: are some of them that actually re few the veracity
Speaker 1: of this story, and how in the world could a
Speaker 1: rock kill a giant?
Speaker 3: And they did the scientific research, and they did a
Speaker 3: whole report on it, and I got the report. This
Speaker 3: is the report.
Speaker 1: They said, how is highly unlikely and improbable.
Speaker 3: That this could happen?
Speaker 1: You know what it says. Scientist said that David, with
Speaker 1: the rock the size of a baseball, and with the
Speaker 1: sling shot, the fastest that he could have released it
Speaker 1: would have been with a trajectory of about ninety miles
Speaker 1: per hour. And if you take a projectile going ninety
Speaker 1: miles per hour, and you use Newton's second law of
Speaker 1: motion and taken to effect the coefficient of restitution, that
Speaker 1: a projectile at that size at ninety miles per hour
Speaker 1: would generate about three thousand pounds of force as it
Speaker 1: was released. That is, if it was traveling the distance
Speaker 1: of a picture to the home plate, which is sixty
Speaker 1: feet and six inches. But since Goliath is at least
Speaker 1: twice that far, one also has to take into effect
Speaker 1: the drag of the distance of the ball that's working
Speaker 1: against the velocity of the force. Therefore, since he's further away,
Speaker 1: what was generated at three thousand pounds has now reduced
Speaker 1: itself arguably to at least one thousand pounds. That is,
Speaker 1: if David is throwing it straight. The problem is Goliath
Speaker 1: is taller than David, which means the angle of the
Speaker 1: projectile from which he launched it had to be at
Speaker 1: least forty five degrees, which means now the ball is
Speaker 1: also working against gravity, which also has reduced the force
Speaker 1: that the rock has been released. So what was three
Speaker 1: thousand pounds of force has now been arguably reduced to
Speaker 1: about five hundred pounds of force. But you must remember
Speaker 1: there's an armor bearer who stands in front of Goliath
Speaker 1: who would have lifted up his shield to take the
Speaker 1: projectile off of course, which would have reduced the force
Speaker 1: to at least fifty pounds and taken an off course
Speaker 1: of the direction headed towards Goliath. But if David could
Speaker 1: throw it, and if it did work against the drag,
Speaker 1: and if it could counter the weight, and if it
Speaker 1: did go against the coefficient of restitution, if it was
Speaker 1: not off course, and still ain't that goliath head. Don't forget,
Speaker 1: Goliath is wearing a helmet and a projectaile that started
Speaker 1: with three thousand pounds of force and ended at fifty.
Speaker 1: Hitting a bronze helmet would not have been enough to Goliath.
Speaker 1: So how can a young boy with one rock, working
Speaker 1: against gravity, working against through laws of emotions, working against
Speaker 1: the coefficient of restitutions, working against the drag being deflected
Speaker 1: by an armor a hit a bronze helmet. How could
Speaker 1: he kill a giant? And I got an answer for
Speaker 1: every science is out there. He didn't just throw a rock.
Speaker 1: He threw a name. He threw the name set is.
Speaker 3: About every single name. I don't know how the science works,
Speaker 3: but I know how the name works.
Speaker 1: I know that there's a name set is about every
Speaker 1: single name, And I think about somebody to day you
Speaker 1: letter throw that name?
Speaker 3: I know the giants sid throw the name.
Speaker 1: How do it looks greater than you?
Speaker 3: Roll the name? Roll the name that didn't heal the fish.
Speaker 1: Roll the name that you lave to pay roll the
Speaker 1: name that has healing and home and life, the name somebody,
Speaker 1: and give God the best phrase that you got in
Speaker 1: the place.
Speaker 3: No, I mean praise. I'm like you know, then it's time.
Speaker 2: That name.
Speaker 1: Who reminder standing all locations he found, like down your
Speaker 1: living room, remain standing.
Speaker 3: David didn't just throw a rock. She threw a name.
Speaker 1: Listen to it. We've heard it so much we forget it.
Speaker 1: You come at me with sword and spear and javelin.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't make sense to say I come at you
Speaker 1: with sleeve shot. He didn't say that. He said, you
Speaker 1: come at me with sword and spear and javelin. But
Speaker 1: I come at you in the name of the Lord Almighty,
Speaker 1: the God of the Armies of Israel.
Speaker 3: Coming on That name worked for David.
Speaker 1: It'll work for you too.
Speaker 4: He didn't throw a rock, He threw a name. The
Speaker 4: name made all the difference. And I don't know what
Speaker 4: Jihan you're facing today, but I do know. God's calling
Speaker 4: somebody today, hear me, to let go of your pride.
Speaker 4: You need a heart of humility. It says whatever my
Speaker 4: father asked him.
Speaker 1: Now I'll do it. He's calling somebody in here to
Speaker 1: get your hope again and get a vision of victory.
Speaker 4: See yourself winning. Stop forecasting your failure. Get a vision
Speaker 4: of victory. Hear me, know your real enemy.
Speaker 1: Your brother's not your enemy. That other denomination is not
Speaker 1: your enemy. That person that votes different than you is
Speaker 1: not your enemy. Your brother's not your enemy. You gotta
Speaker 1: know the real enemy. You gotta work your weapon something
Speaker 1: God has given you to do what he's called you
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 3: But watch this.
Speaker 1: That weapons not enough. You better throw the name, throw
Speaker 1: the name of Jesus. I'll tell you this, and I'm done.
Speaker 1: God is not obligated to defend your name. He's not
Speaker 1: obligated to defend your reputation.
Speaker 3: I know you want him to.
Speaker 1: But when his name is on the line, when his
Speaker 1: name is on the line, or fire will come down
Speaker 1: from heaven on now, Carmo, when his name is on
Speaker 1: the line, Red seas will split open when his name
Speaker 1: is on the line. Miracles, what happens.
Speaker 3: Giants will balm when it's his name.
Speaker 1: The name of Jesus. No matter what you're facing today,
Speaker 1: I believe that the same name that worked for David
Speaker 1: the same name that will work for you today.
Speaker 3: I'm when to ask every head be bound.
Speaker 1: I'll be closed across every location. Father, we're talking to you.
Speaker 3: We're talking to you. Thank you that you're a God
Speaker 3: that we can talk to.
Speaker 1: God. I'm praying for my brother. I'm praying for my
Speaker 1: sister who's in a real fight. But Lord, I'm praying
Speaker 1: for the power of the conversations to change the talk
Speaker 1: that they're saying internally. Let that shift today. Let us
Speaker 1: echo and repeat what you have said about us. Father,
Speaker 1: Thank you that the name that worked for David is
Speaker 1: the name that'll work for us. There's no other name
Speaker 1: by which we can be saved. In the name of Jesus.
Speaker 1: Let that name be appropriated, and the hearts and the
Speaker 1: lives of every single person who would call on it.
Speaker 1: Today in Jesus' name, we pray. Amen, Amen, Amen, God
Speaker 1: bless you. Love you so much. Elevation thank you for
