1
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: So, and Jonathan prayed for me. He specifically caught out

2
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: the blood. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder a

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: couple of months ago, and I've had a lot of

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: issues with that. When I came tonight, I wasn't expecting

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: this at all, that he called it out, and I

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: know it was the Lord, and I just I know

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: that it's healed, it's gone, it's done, it's over with

8
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus. He is my yeller, my God,

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: my father.

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: I love him.

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for doing this.

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 3: We are raising up a family in this church. We're

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 3: raising up a family in Pittsburgh. We're raising up a

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 3: family in Texas that don't just know about God. They

15
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: know God. They've handled his power, they've seen his power

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: flow through him. You're coming out of here today carrying

17
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: fresh fire, fresh annoying thing, never to take another backwards.

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 3: There's nothing God asks you to do in the Bible

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 3: that doesn't have a reward attached to it. When I

20
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: told Matthew Ash from Malaa that I was gonna send

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 3: two hundred thousand dollars for that crusade from our church,

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: do you think I was doing that to help them

23
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: or help me, help me, because I know what the

24
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: Bible says about those that refuse to close their eyes

25
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: to poverty, but help. And we were getting close to

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: the time to send the two hundred thousand.

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 4: We didn't have it.

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: Plus we're building the church and really building four churches.

29
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: And you know what, we get a letter in the

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 3: mail from a lady. I've been watching you. I got

31
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: saved watching Billy Graham. This is a week before I

32
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: went to Nigeria when I told them I'm gonna help

33
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 3: with those surgeries. I got saved watching Billy Graham. I

34
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: got healed watching Katherine Coleman. I'm in my eighties and

35
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: it delights me to see you caring on their work.

36
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 3: Here's a check, first time that person's ever given one

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: point twenty six million dollars. Do you know what that is?

38
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: That means if you know math, that's two hundred thousand

39
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: for them and one point six for me. So that

40
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: church in Pittsburgh. Phase one is done. Phase two is

41
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: half done. Because as long as you when you see

42
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 3: where the blessing comes from, you're not hoping for a blessing,

43
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: wishing for a blessing, asking somebody to pray for you

44
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: for a blessing. You know how to access the blessing

45
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 3: of God? Can you say? Amen? Number four. The church

46
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 3: is where you receive revelation and understanding. So I'm seventy three,

47
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: sixteen and seventeen. So I tried to understand why the

48
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: wicked prosper. But what a difficult task it is. Then

49
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: I went to your sanctuary, Oh Lord, and I finally

50
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: understood the destiny of the wicked. You receive understanding Isaiah

51
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 3: two three. There he will teach us his ways and

52
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: will walk in his paths as much as I preach.

53
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: Every day I receive revelation. I got all written down

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: on my phone. I was thinking about stealing Matthew Shmuloa's

55
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 3: iPad and offering it for ransom. His notes are awesomee

56
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: He did a sermon to the ministers about the four

57
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: spirits from Hell that you have to watch don't creep

58
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: into your church. It was great. One hundred and twenty

59
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 3: points from making generational impact. You never get to a point.

60
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 3: Iron sharpens iron. Watch any Christian that thinks they don't

61
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 3: need a pastor, and I need that. I got my

62
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: own bible. The Holy Spirit can be my teacher. Watch them.

63
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: They all go the same place down the Holy Spirit

64
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: teach me. Where do you work? I'm looking for a job.

65
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 3: How's your carents in the shop. Yeah. Holy Spirit's doing

66
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: a great job teaching you. He told you in the Bible,

67
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: go get a pastor. Anybody that knew me before I

68
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 3: started this church, I always had a pastor. Had one

69
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: in Maine, had one in Virginia Beach, had one in Pennsylvania.

70
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: If when I came off the road I was in church,

71
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: I'm upplanted. I had a guy tell me he doesn't

72
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: talk like this anymore because now he knows me, but

73
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: when he first met me. And nobody's watching in Texas

74
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: right now. Texas is service number two. But I never

75
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: was in a place like Texas where everybody's a Christian

76
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: and nobody has a church. Sometimes we go to Gateway

77
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: and then sometimes we go so a guy that has

78
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: like a prophetic ministry will go there. Sometimes where do

79
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: you go to church? If somebody asks you where you work, Jay,

80
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: where do you work here? Not? Well, sometimes I come here.

81
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: Sometimes I'll go to sheets. Just help out with the friar. No,

82
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: you should be able to answer that question simply. Can

83
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: you say amen. And so the guy. I was telling

84
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 3: this guy that it's a born again Christian who helps

85
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 3: us in the ministry. Now, I said, you know you

86
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: should Where do you go to church? Well, I said

87
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 3: you should have a church. Well you say that because

88
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: you're a pastor. I said, well, no, I don't. When

89
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: I wasn't a pastor, I had a church. I'm in

90
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 3: church all the time. My church isn't in Nigeria. There's

91
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 3: nothing I did over there that in the natural helps me.

92
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: In the natural, I should be down two hundred thousand

93
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: dollars plus airplane ticket plus hotel. I'm in church because

94
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: I've found out what David found out. The harder I

95
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 3: plant myself in church, the harder the blessings of God

96
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: pursue me. Because God has a blessing in his house.

97
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: Can you say amen? Number five? The church is a

98
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: place where you experience abundance, delight, and satisfaction. Psalm thirty six,

99
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: seven and eight. How precious is your unfailing love of

100
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: God all humanity, fine shelter. That sounds so like terribly

101
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 3: translated humanity, But it doesn't say that in the original language.

102
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 3: That sounds like like Yale Theological School what's King James,

103
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 3: How excellent is thy loving kindness of God? Therefore the

104
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: children of men put their trust under the shadow of

105
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 3: thy wings. Keep going, they shall be no. Let me

106
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: see six again, how excellent six? That's a seven. Thy

107
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 3: righteousness is like the great mountains. Thy judgments are a

108
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 3: great depot Lord, Thou preservest man and beast. How excellent

109
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: is thy loving kindness of God. Therefore the children of

110
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 3: men put their trust under the shadow of your wings,

111
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 3: And when they they shall be abundantly satisfied with the

112
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 3: fatness of thy house. You know what talks about fat

113
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: in the Old Testament. It's a sign of prosperity, because

114
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: in most places in the world, to get fat, you

115
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: have to have money. In America, you have to have

116
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: money to be skinny. True, you have to have a

117
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: gym membership, you have to buy expensive food. But overseas,

118
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 3: to have plenty of food, you have to be fat.

119
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: Thou shalt be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of the house,

120
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 3: And thou shalt make them drink the rivers of thy pleasures.

121
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: Thou shalt make them drink the river of thy pleasures.

122
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: Go ahead with nine, for with THEE is the fountain

123
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: of life, and in thy light shall we see. Number

124
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: five the churches where you experience abundance, delight, and satisfaction.

125
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 3: Number six, the church is a place of answered prayer.

126
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 3: So I'm sixty six, nineteen and twenty and thirteen and fourteen.

127
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 3: But God did listen. He paid attention to my prayer.

128
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: Praise God who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw

129
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: his unfailing love from me. Now I come to your

130
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: temple with burnt offerings to fulfill the val How many

131
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 3: see that there I come to your temple. This is

132
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: thousands of years old. I come to the temple with offerings,

133
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 3: as I pray. These pastors have made it that you

134
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: have to come to like we made up offerings. The

135
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 3: battle says, no man will appear before me without a gift.

136
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: Now I come to your temple with burnt offerings to

137
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 3: fulfill the vows I made to you. Yes, the sacred

138
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: vows that I made when I was in deep trouble.

139
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: I say A fifty five to seven. I will bring

140
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 3: them to my holy Mountain of Zion and will fill

141
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: them with joy in my house of prayer. Say with me,

142
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: I will fill them with joy in my house of prayer.

143
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: How many of you have gotten happy being at church

144
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: here before? Yeah, the church is a place of joy.

145
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: You come in happy and you leave happy. I enter

146
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: his gates with thanksgiving in my heart, enter his courtse

147
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: with and I'm not even touching on this that there's

148
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: a reason. It's the first hours of the first day

149
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 3: of a new week. You are setting your course for

150
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 3: the week. When you started on Sunday, You're saying, I'm

151
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 3: not deciding. I'm not gonna see how my week's gonna go.

152
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be in God's house. I'm gonna get full

153
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: of his work. How many you have ever been sitting

154
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: here on Sunday and God started giving you instruction for

155
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 3: that week? Do this, and you did it and your

209
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 3: as far as the eighth generation, were all out standing

210
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 3: in the service of the temple of God. The total

211
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 3: number of men capable in the strength and service of

00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: the Lord from the descendants of abd Edam was sixty two.

213
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 3: The Bible goes out of its way to make a

214
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 3: note to hope that Edom's served in the house of God.

218
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: do NLTU do KJV. The children of thy servants shall

219
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 3: continue and their seed shall be established. Everyone say established.

220
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 3: When the Bible talks about establish it, you can't be moved.

221
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 3: God established us in Pittsburgh. Everybody and their brothers tried

222
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 3: to move us out of here. They can't do it,

223

224
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: I propher saying the name of Jesus. Every enemy try

225
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 3: to approach you shall fall for your sake in Jesus' name.

226
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 3: Number ten. The church is where God commands the blessing

227
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 3: and releases the annoying. The church is where God commands

228
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: his blessing and releases the annoying. You think I'm just

229
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: up here shouting a pastor a minister. If you're in

230
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 3: the Old Testament, he told Moses, when the people leave

231
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 3: the assembly, command this blessing them. Even if you went

232
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: to like a dead church, that's part of like one

233
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 3: of the only enjoyable parts. Even if they say it dead.

234
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: And the Lord shall bless thee and keep thee and

235
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 3: make his face shine upon you. Hey, that's good. I'm

236
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 3: for that that even they'll pronounce a blessing. Because the

237
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 3: Bible says the heavens belonged to the Lord, but the

238
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: earth he's given to who who men. So a man

239
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 3: has to speak it, Son of man, can these bones

240
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 3: live again? Thou knowest, say to the bones, cousin said,

241
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 3: Now watch me speak to the bones. You speak so

242
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 3: part of a minister's job when I say like, and

243
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 3: you're gonna be blessed this week in Jesus name. And

244
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: it's not to make like an exciting end to the

245
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 3: sentence that God is heaving. You say it, and as

246
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 3: you say it, He'll confirm it. Can you say? Amen?

247
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 6: So?

248
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 3: Number ten the churches where God commands the blessing and

249
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: releases the annoying someone thirty three one to three. How

250
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers lived together in harmony.

251
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 3: For harmony, mister King James, like harmony. It's like a

252
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 3: precious ointment upon the head. That's talking about the annoying

253
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 3: that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard that

254
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 3: went down to the skirts of his garment, as the

255
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 3: due of herman, and as the dew that descended upon

256
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 3: the mountains of Zain. For there the Lord commanded the blessing,

257
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: even life forever more. Eybody say, commanded the blessing. And

258
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 3: you know what amen means. You know everybody shops. Amen,

259
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 3: We're not just like mimicking lifetime movies of what people

260
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 3: do in church. Amen means, so be it unto me.

261
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: So when I say, like, this is gonna be the

262
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: best week you've ever had, and somebody says amen, they're

263
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 3: saying I take that from me. That's mine. You're gonna

264
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 3: have the best twelve months. When you say amen, I

265
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: don't care if anybody else in this church. I'm latching

266
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: onto this thing. God speaks the blessing, You receive the blessing,

267
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 3: and you take the blessing fifty verse two from Mountain Zion,

268
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 3: out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shinned.

269
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 7: I live in South Dakota and my son goes to

270
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 7: rama and I got a call from the emergency room

271
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 7: because my son was unresponsive and he was not breathing.

272
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 7: He went into some sort of diabetic keto acidosis. His

273
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 7: triglycerides were over thirty five one hundred, his sugars were

274
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 7: over at eight hundred. He was hallucinating. He was vomiting

275
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 7: all night. His kidneys, his liver, and his pancreats weren't working.

276
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 7: They were asking me for permission to save his life.

277
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 7: I said, yes, do what you gotta do, and I

278
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 7: yelled to my husband, we gotta go right now. My

279
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 7: husband knew he was on his way to urging care

280
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 7: because he was sick. I was like, we gotta go

281
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 7: right now. But the Lord told me, don't say anything,

282
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 7: don't let fear in. And this message was just in

283
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 7: my spirit. And so we get in the car and

284
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 7: we started driving. We have a nine hour drive. Then

285
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 7: while in the middle of driving, I started to get

286
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 7: consumed with fear because I was the only one that

287
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 7: knew that my son was not and he was unresponsive.

288
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 7: And so I told my daughter put that message on

289
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 7: again that we were listening to. So we're in the

290
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 7: car and we were listening to Power the Devil, and

291
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 7: then the next one was stepping into the divine nature

292
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 7: of Jesus Christ. And so we listened to that all

293
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 7: the way down from South Dakota to Tulsa, and we're praying.

294
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 7: And so we walk into the hospital room and I

295
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 7: see my son. He's in the ICU and he has tubes,

296
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 7: he's swollen, he's has a machine breathing for him, he's

297
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 7: ice cold, he has no color. And we walk into

298
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 7: the room and I say, in the name of Jesus Christ,

299
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 7: you're gonna get up and you will declare the works

300
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 7: of the Lord and the land of the living God

301
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 7: is not done with you. You will wake up in

302
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 7: Jesus's name. I went into the other room and I

303
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 7: started crying, but I was jumping, and I wouldn't let

304
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 7: fear come out of my mouth because the message had

305
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 7: just been so planted in me. So I just started

306
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 7: crying and declaring that I will not fear the devil,

307
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 7: and he will let my son go. The next day,

308
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 7: the next morning, my son woke up. The doctors to

309
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 7: this day don't know what they said. It was some

310
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 7: type of diabetic thing. They don't know what caused it.

311
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 7: Because everything he's alive. He's out of the hospital, he's walking.

312
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 7: He shouldn't be to the way his numbers worth. They said,

313
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 7: he should be dead. They've never seen anything like this.

314
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 7: But he's alive.

315
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 3: Out of Zion, the Perfection of beauty God has shined

316
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 3: new living translation from Mount Sion, The Perfection of beauty,

317
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 3: God shines in glorious radiance. Number ten the churches where

318
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 3: God commands the blessing and releases his anoying. And then

319
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 3: I close with this the ten blessings for a building

320
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: and advancing God's House. Now that you see the importance

321
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 3: of importance of God's House Do you want Do you

322
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 3: want Pittsburgh to tourney the dearborn Michigan? Do you want

323
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 3: to do you want to have a Christmas gathering down

324
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 3: in downtown Pittsburgh And we can't have it because the

325
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 3: Muslim Brotherhood and Free Palestine's they're harassing and shoving people.

326
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 3: Do you want to know how to stop it? You

327
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 3: want to all go down with signs? Do you want

328
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 3: to burn a Koran? That's not how you do it.

329
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: The brighter the light of God's House shines, no darkness

330
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 3: can move into that city and revival today churches here

331
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: because three years ago, on New Year's Eve, the Lord

332
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 3: said to me, no, four years ago, build me a

333
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 3: strong church in this city. And Brother, the Devil's done

334
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 3: everything to keep that from happening. But we're a thousand strong,

335
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: Get ready to go two thousand strong. Because Islam's not

336
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: gonna have Pittsford false religion. It's not gonna have Pittsferth.

337
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 3: Communism's not gonna have Pittsford. The Church of the Lord

338
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ shall prevail. If you believe a shout Amen,

339
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 3: number blessings for building God's House and advancing God's house

340
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 3: number one. When you build God's house, God builds your house.

341
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: Literally did that for my dad and literally did it

342
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 3: for me. Haggi, I won eight to nine. Now go

343
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 3: up into the hills, bring down timber and rebuild my house.

344
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: I mean, no, church isn't about a building. It kind

345
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 3: of is. It wasn't like Elf timber or legend of

346
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 3: Zelda timber. It was actual wood to build a building.

347
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 3: Can you say, amen, how many you know? You don't

348
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 3: need a church, You just need God. Guess where Guess

349
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 3: where he dwells. I mean when you hear people talk

350
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 3: like that, you're listening to probably somebody that can't afford

351
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 3: a building. I mean, it's not about buildings, it kind

352
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 3: of is. I don't know about you. I'm kind of

353
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 3: happy we're in a building today instead of freezing our

354
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 3: nether regions off outside then in the summer getting baked mosquitoes.

355
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 3: There's a reason that we invented buildings like in four

356
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 3: thousand BC. Let's not try to ruin it in one generation.

357
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 3: Can you say, amen, when you build God's house, God

358
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 3: builds your house. Now go through the hills, bring down

359
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: timber and rebuild my house. Then I will take pleasure

360
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 3: in it and be honored, says the Lord. You hope

361
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 3: for rich harvest, but they were poor, and when you

362
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 3: brought your harvest home it blew away. Why why why

363
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 3: was nothing working out? Because my house lies in ruins,

364
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 3: says the Lord of Hosts, while all of you are

365
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 3: busy building your own fine homes. Number One, when you

366
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 3: build God's house, he builds your house. When they listen

367
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 3: to and they went up and got the timber and

368
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 3: built the house, everything started to flow again. That's been

369
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 3: my secret, Abraham. How much money did you send to

370
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 3: that guy from Ghana that you found that was building

371
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: the church, your friend? Ten thousand that he had saved

372
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 3: up for his own down payment on a house here

373
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: at his friend in Gano's building the church and only

374
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 3: costs ten thousand US to finish it, and he sent it.

375
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 3: And I've been with that guy since he sent that check.

376
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 3: And God, God knew it. I've never seen this in

377
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 3: all my life, and I've been around the church my

378
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 3: whole life. A pastor Carde to me is your assistant, Abraham. Here,

379
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 3: I have a seat I want to give him. Uh

380
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 3: isn't that supposed to go to me?

381
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 5: No?

382
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 3: Because I didn't send ten houses and to build the

383
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: church he did. God doesn't care. And see that's the

384
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 3: great thing about the blessings of God. You can be

385
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 3: a plumber, you can be nobody. You can be an

386
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 3: assistant to the preacher. You can be the preacher and

387
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 3: not given, you get nothing. You can be the assistant

388
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 3: to the preacher and give, and the blessing flows to you.

389
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,479
Speaker 3: God takes note of who builds his house, and when

390
00:20:54,520 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 3: you build his house, God builds your house. Number two,

391
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: God releases supernatural financial provision to temple builders first Chronicles

392
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 3: twenty nine three through five and verse twelve. And now,

393
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 3: because of my devotion to the temple of my God,

394
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 3: I'm giving all my own private treasures of gold and

395
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 3: silver to help in the construction of the temple. These

396
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 3: gifts are in addition to the building materials I've already

397
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 3: collected for his holy temple. Now, then, who will follow

398
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 3: my example and give offerings to the Lord? Today? Wealth

399
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 3: and honor have come from you alone. Verse twelve. You

400
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 3: rule over everything. Power and might are in your hand,

401
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: and at your discretion. People are made great and given strength.

402
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 3: If you will get it in your heart, God will

403
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: get in your hand. You know what David said at

404
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 3: the beginning there, Basically I realized that all this that

405
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 3: God's given me was to prepare a temple for him.

406
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 3: And so he gave six billion dollars US. If you

407
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 3: was one hundred and twelve tons of gold and two

408
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: hundred and something tons of silver, so you can add

409
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 3: it up, it's like six something billion, might be seven

410
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 3: billion out that gold's gone up. So he said, God's

411
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 3: not gonna let me build the temple. My son's going

412
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 3: to do it, but I'm going to fund it. And

413
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 3: he said, this is an addition to what I've collected.

414
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 3: So it would be the equivalent of me saying I

415
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 3: got all of you to give to the church, other

416
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 3: people who're sending gifts like that lady from California, but

417
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give more than everybody else did. That's what

418
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 3: he did, and that's why I've tried to mimic David.

419
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 3: I'm at about four hundred thousand US that I've given

420
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 3: personally myself, which I might, you know, I might do

421
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 3: it because I'm close anyway, I might this year end

422
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 3: up giving more than what my salary is. And I'm

423
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 3: sure that i'll trigger an IRS audit if you gave

424
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty percent of what your income is.

425
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 3: That's like John Gotti stuff. That's how they think you

426
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: must have something on the side. But it doesn't matter

427
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 3: to me. They can audit away. One preacher, they told him,

428
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: you've given so much, we're gonna have to audit you.

429
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 3: And he told him, if you think this is a lot,

430
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 3: then you should open up an IRS office next to

431
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 3: my pastor's office, because this is going to be the

432
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 3: least that I'm ever going to give. It's one of

433
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 3: my pet peeves is that not you. But people think

434
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 3: anytime pastor who talks about offering, oh, giving must be down.

435
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 3: They must need money. And it's not people's fault that

436
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 3: they think that, because most of the pastors will say

437
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 3: that out right now, we're getting ready to go into

438
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 3: a building program. So I want to teach you about giving.

439
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 3: It's all to get from you to do something. But

440
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: when you understand that giving is to release a blessing

441
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 3: on you that he that so sparingly will reap sparingly,

442
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 3: but he that sows abundantly shall reap an abundant harvest,

443
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 3: then it becomes a delight to give. Can you say amen?

444
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: Number three Jesus performed a miracle for a gentile because

445
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 3: he built God's house. Luke's this is a very interesting story,

446
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 3: Luke seven one to five. When Jesus had finished saying

447
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 3: all this to the people, he returned to Capernaum. At

448
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 3: that time, the highly valued slave of a Roman officer

449
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 3: was sick and near death. When the officer heard about Jesus,

450
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: he sent some respected Jewish elders to ask him to

451
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 3: come and heal his slave. So they earnestly begged Jesus

452
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: to help the man. This is how they appealed to Jesus.

453
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 3: If anyone does it serves your help. He does, they said,

454
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 3: for he loves the Jewish people, and he built a

455
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 3: synagogue for us. And Jesus went with them. He was Roman,

456
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 3: he had no reason to help that guy. When Jesus

457
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 3: heard this, he was amazed. Turning to the crowd that

458
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 3: was following him, he said, I haven't seen faith like

459
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 3: this in all of Israel. And when the officer's friends

460
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: return home, they found the slave completely healed. So number

461
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 3: three Jesus performed a miracle. Look how they appealed to him.

462
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 3: This guy built a temple for us. And when Jesus

463
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 3: heard that the guy built in that era church, he didn't.

464
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 3: He didn't do like he did for the Cyrophoenician woman.

465
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 3: Should I think bread from the table and throw it

466
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 3: to the dogs? Oh, he built a temple. He loves

467
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 3: God's people, built a house for them. I'm on the

468
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 3: way to his house. Number four. God personally honors those

469
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 3: who honor his house. For Samuel two thirty. Therefore, the Lord,

470
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 3: the God of Israel, says, I will honor those that

471
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 3: honor me, and I will despise those that think lately

472
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 3: of me. Now that's in the same chapter of Hafti

473
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 3: infhineas that work at the temple and are taking the

474
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 3: people's offerings and helping themselves to the young women at

475
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 3: the church. The devil has no new tricks. So you

476
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 3: got that same spirit in the church.

477
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: Now.

478
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 3: Corrupt ministers take money, take offering money. Who did I

479
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 3: hand that money to recently? It wasn't you, because you

480
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 3: were with me. Who gave me a bunch of money

481
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 3: is my brother in law up in Canada. Somebody waited

482
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 3: after and gave me a card. They said, I wanted

483
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 3: to give this to you. You know, we took an offering.

484
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 3: This is for you, The card said for Jonathan. While

485
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 3: in the cart there was a few thousand dollars in there,

486
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 3: but the card said, I want to help with your ministry.

487
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: I want to help with what's going on in Nigeria.

488
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: Well there's no way to read that and think, well,

489
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 3: they must have just been drunk. It's obviously for me.

490
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 3: So I passed to my brother in law. I said,

491
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 3: read that and tell me who you think the money

492
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 3: before he said for the ministry. I said, that's what

493
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 3: I thought, handed him the money. Not one penny of

494
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 3: God's money has found its way into my possession. You've

495
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 3: been coming here for three years, most of you, there's

496
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 3: never been one pastor appreciation offering taken. Because how could

497
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 3: I be any more appreciated Outside of KATIEK. You could

498
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 3: ask jess Beck there who I've been paying to handle

499
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,719
Speaker 3: my own personal money, because that's how much has come

500
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 3: in to me, with making no effort to wait around nothing.

501
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 3: I gave that three hundred and some thousand in July.

502
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 3: It's almost all back before December, with making no effort

503
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 3: for it. Because I don't have to try to get

504
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 3: the I don't have to try to shear the sheep,

505
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 3: get the sheep to feed me. If I now, I

506
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 3: teach you to do it. But I'm already doing it.

507
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 3: I'm building churches. I started doing it in twenty eleven

508
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 3: twenty twelve where I could afford it. I didn't have

509
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 3: enough money to build a church in America, so I

510
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 3: built one in Congo, then India, ten thousand in Congo,

511
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 3: twenty thousand in India. And Brother, when it came time

512
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 3: for mine, boom. What you may happen for others, God

513
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 3: makes happen for you. I tell you a second time

514
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 3: on the authority of God's word. Get around it for

515
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 3: the best year you've ever had. If you believe it, shut,

516
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 3: I receive it. Number five. God supplies all your needs

517
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 3: to those who support the building of churches Philippians four

518
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 3: fifteen to nineteen. And my God shall supply all your needs.

519
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: Coin's Richards and Glory was written not to Christians. It

520
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 3: was written to one church, the Philippian Church that Paul said,

521
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,239
Speaker 3: you were the only church that cared about what I

522
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: was doing. And Paul was an addicted church planner. Number six,

523
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 3: when God builds Zion or the church, the children of

524
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 3: the builders thrive and prosper. When when you build the church,

525
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 3: the children of the builders thrive and prosper. That's something

526
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 3: you don't care about when you're in your teenage years,

527
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 3: in your twenties, maybe even your early thirties. But when

528
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 3: you start to get my age, in your forties and up,

529
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 3: you start caring more about that. I spend zero time

530
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 3: thinking about my future, and a lot of time thinking

531
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 3: about Camala's future and buying her house and her not

532
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 3: paying for her wedding and her having a home. Right

533
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 3: off the bat. Everything's geared that way. So these scriptures

534
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 3: matter to me. So one or two. Some of you

535
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 3: had awful childhoods. Some of you started with nothing and

536
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 3: had declaude of where you're at right now. But I'm

537
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: telling you there's a way that every battle you had

538
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 3: to fight in life, your children will never know one

539
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 3: of those battles because it only takes one person to say,

540
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put God first. And God said, not only

541
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 3: will I bless you, I will bless your children.

542
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 2: Well.

543
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 5: Abundant hope is our inheritance in Christ. Yet many of

544
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 5: us still carry the baggage of past. Pay well, today's guest,

545
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 5: it's going to share how he discovered God's unfailing, unconditional

546
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 5: of growing up in the foster care system. But before

547
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 5: we get to that, join me around the table is

548
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 5: April Simons. We have a real Man of God on

549
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 5: fire today. I love it talking about hope because everybody

550
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 5: needs hope. Yep, and we always say it. Hope has

551
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 5: a name, and it's Jesus Christ, and that's right. I

552
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 5: love the story. It's going to be great. Anna Kendall,

553
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 5: how are you doing. I'm doing just great.

554
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 2: And I love this story too.

555
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 5: I love the way that he reaches.

556
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 8: So many young people because what a young people's life

557
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 8: has saved.

558
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 2: That's a lifetime that's saved. So that's going to be great.

559
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 5: Rachel Lamb Brown, we love testimonies.

560
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 6: Yes, and this is one of my favorite guests.

561
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 5: His story.

562
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 6: It's so impactful just to see where he came from.

563
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 6: He didn't let that limit him and God has done

564
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 6: so much through his life and it's incredible to see

565
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 6: the power of a transform life.

566
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 5: And he's right here in our area. But the last

567
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 5: time we saw him, we were in Australia together and

568
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 5: he was preaching in Australia. Yeah, for sure, Dorothy Niedner.

569
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 5: Are you ready for a good word today?

570
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 9: I am so so ready because you know what it's.

571
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 9: It's God's proof that you know, no matter what has

572
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 9: happened in our past, you don't have to take it

573
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 9: to the future because He has great plans for us,

574
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 9: and it is evident that the store today is going

575
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 9: to be phenomenal.

576
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 5: I posted a picture of me and you on Instagram

577
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 5: and everybody's like, I just loved him. I love Dorothy.

578
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 5: Dorothy is a woman of God. I loved it. I

579
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 5: loved it. Cindy Johnson, how are you hey? I'm doing

580
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 5: great today. Now, you know our guest and I do

581
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 5: hurting preaching. Yes, for many years, actually probably thirty years

582
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 5: or more. But the impact that he's he was only

583
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 5: two years old when he started. Well, but the impact

584
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 5: that he is having today and that he had many

585
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 5: years back on our community, yeah, was huge. That was

586
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 5: the four worst area. Yes, Well, he was abandoned as

587
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 5: a baby, embraced by his love loving foster parents, redeemed

588
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 5: by God. Reggie Dabs is living proof that your past

589
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 5: doesn't define your future. That's a good word for you today,

590
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 5: no matter what you've been through, no matter where you

591
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 5: are right now. Your past does not have to define

592
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 5: what God wants to do in your life. So I

593
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 5: want you stay right there. So they were like, well,

595
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 5: today he's going to share how God is opening doors

596
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 5: for him to bring this message of hope to schools nationwide.

597
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 5: It is amazing what God is doing. He's just written

598
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 5: a book with John Driver just keep breathing, and it's

599
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 5: a shocking expos of letters you never imagined a generation

600
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 5: would write. We'll get into that later, but these are

601
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 5: actually the cries of young people that you have ministered

602
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 5: to throughout the years.

603
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 8: Right, absolutely, Yeah, kids who have heard me in programs

604
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 8: and then they went to their computers and wrote me

605
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 8: a letter.

606
00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 5: Well, welcome Reggie Dabs. So good to have you, and

607
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 5: I do love your story, and I love the story

608
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 5: of your parents, who are now both with the Lord.

609
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 5: But tell us a little bit. Start at the beginning

610
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 5: of your birth and what happened.

611
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, I have a brother, two sisters, my mom. You

612
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 8: know them, by the way, do you I have met them?

613
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 5: Okay?

614
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 8: My mom kept my brother, kept my sisters, but she

615
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 8: said I was a mistake and she gave me away

616
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 8: to her favorite teacher at school, which is the greatest

617
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 8: blessing of it.

618
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 5: Oh, we know you weren't a mistake. No, by the way,

619
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 5: you're not a mistake. No, no one is a mistake.

620
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 5: No one.

621
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 8: The world will label you, though. The world will make

622
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 8: you want to carry. And I like it at the

623
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 8: beginning when he says the baggage will carry baggage. Yeah,

624
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 8: I'm gonna call this whole. You got to drop that bag.

625
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 8: You got to let it go. You got to drop

626
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 8: it because you wasn't meant to carry it.

627
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 2: And that's that.

628
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 5: I think she said you were a mistake.

629
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 8: Well, there's circumstances around my birth. She actually slept with

630
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 8: a man to get food for my brother and sisters

631
00:32:58,840 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 8: and got pregnant.

632
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 2: So that's why she says I was a mistake. But

633
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 2: you got to.

634
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,239
Speaker 8: And I just look at people all the time and

635
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 8: I say, I'm here. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter how

636
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 8: you're here, and what you do while you're here matters.

637
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 8: It matters the most. So yesterday, it's a memory, and

638
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 8: you know what it can be. There's a reason why

639
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,959
Speaker 8: the front windshow is so much bigger than the rearview mirror,

640
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 8: because if you spend your time looking back, you're going

641
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 8: to run into something.

642
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 2: So you got to look ahead. You can't, you can't

643
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: look well.

644
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 5: And yeah, I mean something has to be said to

645
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 5: the fact that you know your mom, your birth mom

646
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 5: rather had a story of I'm sure, brokenness and pain

647
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 5: and going through different things. And when you look at her,

648
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 5: you and you look at her through the eyes of God,

649
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 5: you kind of have a different perspective, don't you.

650
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 8: Absolutely, And when you look now, I met her a

651
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 8: few years back. I met her and we have a relationship.

652
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 8: And now she'll call me five times a day.

653
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 2: Oh really, but she doesn't remember wow.

654
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 8: And so my other siblings would go, why is she

655
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 8: only calling you?

656
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 2: And I said, I'm her.

657
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 8: Biggest mistake, And so I literally will pretend like it's

658
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 8: her first time calling. Just have a good conversation, to

659
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 8: hang up and if I'm available, I do.

660
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 5: I know she's so proud of you. Yeah, okay, So

661
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 5: she gave you up to her favorite teacher teachers, to

662
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 5: her favorite English teacher who I guess couldn't have a baby, right, No, okay,

663
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 5: So what happened you? When's your earliest memory of your well.

664
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 8: I just I've always thought that was my favorite.

665
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 5: How old were you? You were baby?

666
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 8: They took me when I was a baby, okay, and

667
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 8: I thought that was it until first grade when everybody

668
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 8: had a first and last name, when teacher took attendance

669
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 8: and I only had Reggie, And when I asked, she goes,

670
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 8: you don't have a last name. And I remember asking

671
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 8: my parents. It was parent teacher conference. I hate parent

672
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 8: teacher comforts, but I remember asking them all my friend's

673
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 8: parents were young and they were older. So when we

674
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 8: got in the car going home, I'm in the backseat, like.

675
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 2: Why y'all old?

676
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 8: But when you're six you can get away with that.

677
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 2: You don't try that when you're older.

678
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 8: And they literally sit me down and told me my story,

679
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 8: which was good.

680
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 5: Well, they had already raised six kids before you came along,

681
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 5: and so that says something to their character and their integrity.

682
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,919
Speaker 8: Oh it was unbelievable, And I see, and I'm glad

683
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 8: it taught me. Like people look at like cleaning people

684
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 8: like janitors, and I'm like, yeah, I don't understand. I

685
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 8: think the janitor is the most popular guy in the school.

686
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 8: And I always want when I do assembly programs. I

687
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 8: look at Janitor, I go, you're my hero, and I go,

688
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 8: are you going to be in there?

689
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 5: Your dad was, Yeah, he was a school and your

690
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 5: mother was a teacher. Okay, so talk about when did

691
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 5: you kind of come to a knowledge of God and

692
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 5: really invite him into your heart.

693
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 8: When I was thirteen and I think one, I couldn't sleep,

694
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 8: I'm waking at three o'clock in the morning.

695
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 2: I had one of those clocks with red numbers, you

696
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about.

697
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 5: How do you think that was happening?

698
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 8: Well, this happens every day because now in schools, I go,

699
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 8: anybody wake up at three o'clock steering at the ceiling.

700
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 8: Eighty percent of the room raise their hands, and those

701
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 8: are middle schoolers. So it's like, it's just that in

702
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 8: the middle of the night you start thinking stuff you

703
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 8: don't normally think during the day because you're pre audity

704
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 8: a Christian.

705
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 5: You just start praying that because the Lord uses the

706
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 5: three o'clock.

707
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, sure, absolutely.

708
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 8: But at thirteen, I was like, dude, my mom gave

709
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 8: me away. I don't have nobody. I should give up.

710
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 8: I started crying, see the enemy into your ear right

711
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 8: like everybody and you know what, people, when I do

712
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 8: this as my testimony, people go, wait a minute, he's

713
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 8: like me. The more we can identify with the younger generation,

714
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 8: the more they're going to listen to us. But we

715
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 8: have to be willing to share. It's the blood of

716
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 8: the lamb and the word of your testimony.

717
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: It's where you came from.

718
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 8: And I do that, and I tell them at thirteen,

719
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 8: I wanted to give up, and my bedroom door open,

720
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 8: and I told him, I said, I don't like scary

721
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 8: movies called black people Die First and scary movies come on.

722
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

723
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 8: But it wasn't. It wasn't, and it clowned it wasn't.

724
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 8: It was my false secure dad. And he literally slept

725
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 8: at my door for two nights because he knew I

726
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,959
Speaker 8: was sad. And the second morning he heard me cry

727
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 8: and he came in and told him he loved me.

728
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 8: And then he opened the Bible and he read John

729
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 8: three sixteen. He says, I love you, but somebody loves

730
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 8: you more. And that's when everything changed.

731
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 2: Wow. All I needed was one person.

732
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 8: All people need is one And you know, for some people,

733
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 8: this is table talk. You're there one person that's going

734
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 8: to get them through this, and you're the one person

735
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 8: they literally are looking.

736
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: You're looking for hope, You're looking for how do I

737
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 2: make it? How do I get through this?

738
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 8: But you have found it not in a television show,

739
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 8: but then the reason behind the show. I know every

740
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 8: time they don't talk about Jesus a lot, but just

741
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 8: for a moment, let me tell you. If it wasn't

742
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 8: for the Lord, where would I be? And you just

743
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 8: need to the Bible says, taste and see that the

744
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 8: Lord is real. Try him, see what happens. Give him

745
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 8: an opportunity in your life because we all broke.

746
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 2: We're all broken. But Jesus, would you.

747
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 5: Just lead us in a salvation prayer and we'll repeat

748
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 5: after you there. I feel like there's someone watching that

749
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 5: you just kind of came across it soon you stopped

750
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 5: to listen. But your heart has been opening more towards

751
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 5: the things of God, but you don't really know which

752
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 5: way to go. And so it's no accident that you're

753
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 5: watching right now. Because the Lord has your number. I mean,

754
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 5: the one who created you, loves you so much and

755
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 5: wants to have relationship with you.

756
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 8: Reggie Romans ten nine says, if you declare what's your mouth,

757
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 8: that Jesus Christ is Lord, and believe in your heart

758
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 8: that God raised them from the dead, you will be safe.

759
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 8: Not you can not you, you will be saved. This

760
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 8: is the most important moment. So we're just gonna ask.

761
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 2: We're doing that. I'm gonna help you with that prayer

762
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,439
Speaker 2: is asking Jesus to be lord of your life.

763
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 8: So just say, Jesus, Jesus, right now now, I ask

764
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 8: you to be lord of my life. I cannot change

765
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 8: my past, but I can give you.

766
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 2: But I can give few you. Thank you Jesus for

767
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 2: carrying my bags, my pain, my shame, shame. Thank you Jesus.

768
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 2: Thank you for this moment, this moment for me to

769
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 2: say yes, for me to say to Jesus.

770
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 8: Jesus be my Lord, show me how to live this

771
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 8: life for you in Jesus name, Jesus.

772
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 2: Amen, Amen.

773
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 5: I love that. You know if you prayed that prayer,

774
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 5: there's a number on the screen. I want you to

775
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 5: call and tell us and let us send you the

776
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 5: Gospel of John for free. And it's just a great

777
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 5: place to start in the Bible. But this is a

778
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 5: new day. You know, I love the story of how

779
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 5: your mother wanted you to play an instrument.

780
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 2: In which instrument is that saxophone?

781
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 5: Okay?

782
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 2: Yes, he loved the saxophone.

783
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 5: And so when did she start saying okay? What does

784
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 5: she say?

785
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 8: Like, Well, to be honest, I'm a little a d

786
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 8: d okay. And so she came in one day and

787
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 8: I was throwing the cat across the room, trying to

788
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 8: catch him before he hit the counch, and she says, okay,

789
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,479
Speaker 8: there's something wrong with him. And so literally she read

790
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 8: up on it and found out that music and rhythm

791
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 8: can calm guys like me down, can keep me focused,

792
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 8: and so she got a She went to the pawn shop,

793
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 8: got an Alto saxophone and had me play with the radio.

794
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 8: I got fidgety, and it literally works. Goodness, it's a

795
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 8: soprano saxophone.

796
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 2: It looks like a clarinet. I can do here. Yeah,

797
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 2: I'm good, But it's just it's just it's.

798
00:40:32,000 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 5: For all those people, they just yeah, I love that.

799
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 5: And for those of you that don't know, that was

800
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 5: amazing grace. So I know now that you are going

801
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 5: into schools, I mean, God's supernaturally use opened doors you

802
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 5: are what they call a what speaker, motivational speaker public school.

803
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 5: And so you can't get so much into talking about.

804
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 8: You can't say it, but you can show his love.

805
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 5: Like you're talking about. And kids can go and look

806
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 5: at Reggie Dabs and find all these youtubes have you

807
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 5: preaching and and and I know that's happened, but I

808
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 5: think we have some stories to share. Can we share?

809
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 5: Some of these? Are some of the letters and that

810
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 5: you've gotten.

811
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 8: From from kids, the actual students who've heard me in

812
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 8: public school.

813
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 5: Now they used to actors in this, yeah, but the

814
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 5: letters are from them. They're their words because you know,

815
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 5: today we're surrounded by generation kids who are literally dying

816
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:30,240
Speaker 5: to be heard. And Reggie his ministry is a safe

817
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 5: place to ask some of the hardest questions. Take a

818
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 5: look at this.

819
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 10: I don't really like to talk about it, but I

820
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 10: feel like I can tell you. It started off with

821
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,720
Speaker 10: me getting sexually harassed by my grandfather from my entire life,

822
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 10: and then after my parents found out, they confronted him

823
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 10: and a week or two later he.

824
00:42:47,560 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 11: Told himself, when I was twelve years old, I was

825
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 11: in New sit into a gang looking for me. Right now,

826
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 11: the one who killed her. But I guess what I deserve, right.

827
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 12: My boyfriend and his little brother and their friend killed themselves.

828
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 12: It'll be two years ago tomorrow. I get abused and

829
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 12: hurt all the time. No one cares.

830
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 2: I want to die.

831
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 10: I don't know what to do, but it's hard when

832
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 10: my own dad tells me to drop dead.

833
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 11: There's something inside of me that tells me it would

834
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 11: just be better if I killed myself.

835
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 5: But I don't want to do that, but it seems

836
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 5: like that's the only.

837
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 4: Thing I can do.

838
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 12: Throughout my entire life, I've been beaten by my foster parents,

839
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 12: by families, boyfriends, by people I don't even know. I

840
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 12: grew up in pure hell and torture. I lost my

841
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 12: mom for five years due to her love of alcohol

842
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 12: and not her own kids. I've been sexually harassed and bullied.

843
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 12: I've been kidnapped and raped. I've even harmed myself before.

844
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 3: Your own cuss you.

845
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 4: So the phrase plus people in crisis don't need to

846
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 4: just be fixed. I need to be listened to about

847
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 4: city whose ChIL even all else, was taken away from nor.

848
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 2: Well.

849
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 5: Those are just really heartbreaking, some of those letters that

850
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 5: were written. Here's another one that especially touching from Jasmine,

851
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 5: because you know thousands of teens who say that Reggie's

852
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 5: story changed their lives. One of those again was a

853
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 5: girl named Jasmine, and this is heartbreaking. Let's hear what

854
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 5: she had to say.

855
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 13: Dear Reggie, my name is Jasmine. You spoke in my

856
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 13: high school last week. I sat close to the back,

857
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 13: so you probably didn't really see me.

858
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 5: I wore the gray hoodie.

859
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 13: If you noticed the three girls and one was crying,

860
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 13: that was my friend. I was very close to crying.

861
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 13: I thank you for coming to my school. I almost

862
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 13: started crying. Were telling the story about the girl who

863
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 13: cut herself. I tell you that to tell my story.

864
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 13: About three years ago, I started having problems with my stepdad.

865
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 13: I was really stressed out, and I picked up the

866
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 13: habit of smoking cigarettes. Well, I got caught and got

867
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 13: in trouble. I tried to tell them why I started smoking.

868
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 13: No one listened. A couple of weeks went by, and

869
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 13: my birthday was the next Thursday. Well, on my birthday,

870
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 13: I called my dad and just wanted to talk to him.

871
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 13: And my stepmother were going out to eat. I asked

872
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 13: them if I could go with them, since it was

873
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 13: my birthday. He told me I didn't deserve anything for

874
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 13: my birthday, and then I didn't even deserve a birthday.

875
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 13: When he got done telling me that, he said he

876
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 13: had to go. When he hung up, he didn't even

877
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 13: wish me a happy birthday where he loved me. I

878
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 13: was crushed. So after that I laid on my bed crying,

879
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 13: thinking about all the things going on in my life.

880
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 13: It was too much for me. I figured everyone would

881
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 13: be happy if I was gone, so I went into

882
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 13: the bathroom, busted a razor open, and tried to kill myself.

883
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 13: If my mother hadn't seen my cup mark, I probably

884
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 13: wouldn't be here. I still have problems to this day

885
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 13: with my father. I now live with my father. To me,

886
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 13: he's not much of a father. I am sixteen. I

887
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 13: was an insecure person back then. I basically raised myself.

888
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 13: I love my mother. She's really the only thing I

889
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 13: have in my life. Your friend, Jasmine.

890
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 14: I know sometimes you get overwhelmed. Sometimes people are forgotten

891
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 14: by those who should never forget. But Jasmine, we are

892
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 14: not going to forget. You are not overlooked.

893
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 5: And you have so many of the letters in here,

894
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 5: and you put Jasmine's letter in here, and you put

895
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 5: your letter that you wrote back to her where you said,

896
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 5: Dear Jasmine, the first thing I want to say to

897
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 5: you in writing, so that forever everybody will know I

898
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 5: said it here. It is Happy birthday too. Happy birthday

899
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 5: too you, Happy birthday to Jasmine, Happy birthday too. You

900
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 5: can hear my beautiful voice singing through the pages. Well,

901
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 5: I know many people in the world have had that

902
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 5: song sung for them. At Jasmine. We wrote it in

903
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 5: the book for you. Why, because that's how special you are.

904
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 5: I know. Sometimes you get overlooked. Sometimes people are forgotten

905
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 5: by those who should never forget. But you know what,

906
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 5: we're not going to forget. You are not overlooked. I'm

907
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 5: so glad your mom saw your cut, for it was

908
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 5: too late. We see it every day in someone's life.

909
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 5: We catch glimpses of the scars. We don't always know

910
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 5: their names that we see them. We see you, and

911
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 5: I know we can't call you out by your real

912
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 5: name in this book. When I met you that day

913
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 5: in your school, I saw you. I did not know

914
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 5: then that your name is Jasmine, but I cared then

915
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 5: and I care now. You go on and talk about

916
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 5: their principles and teachers who know you. They are friends

917
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 5: to you, even though you may not think of them

918
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 5: in that way. You see, they brought me to your

919
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 5: school hoping I would be able to help you, and

920
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 5: it worked. You did realize, and that's why you wrote us.

921
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 5: Your problems may not be gone because you know we care,

922
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 5: but knowing it is the first step to breathing another day,

923
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 5: because another day we'll bring another chance to live and

924
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 5: see your circumstances change for good. So listen carefully. You

925
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 5: will always be loved. And all those birthdays that everybody forgets,

926
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 5: you will remember that. Your daddy, Reggie put it in

927
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 5: his book, Happy Birthday, Jasmine, never give up. I got

928
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 5: your bags. I love that. What did she say when

929
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 5: she got that letter from you?

930
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 2: She responded and she went, is this really you?

931
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 5: It happens to me answer every email and then we

932
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 5: get thousands, but every once in a while I will

933
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 5: and they'll come back. Is this really Jonie?

934
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 2: Yes? Real fast.

935
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 8: So you know that we about ten years ago started

936
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 8: doing elementary programs. So we go all the way down

937
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 8: to pre K four and we're in New Jersey pre

938
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 8: K four. I'm doing my program halfway through it. A

939
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 8: little four year old yells, he's my daddy, and I'm like,

940
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 8: excuse me. And then we did a family night when

941
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 8: it's for the whole community to hear what we did

942
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 8: during the day because everybody needs hope. And she brought

943
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 8: her mom and her mom came up and says, she

944
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 8: said that you're her daddy. I went, yeah, it was

945
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 8: a little offsetting, and she goes, no, her dad isn't

946
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 8: alive because he was a bad man. And she's been asking,

947
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 8: how do I know who my daddy is? And she said,

948
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,240
Speaker 8: one day you'll meet the nicest, most kind mo gentle,

949
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 8: most loving man, and you need to know that your dad.

950
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:53,880
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness.

951
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 8: Wow. And I was like, I'll do elementary programs for

952
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 8: the rest of my life because you just kids need hope,

953
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,720
Speaker 8: need exactly as.

954
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,240
Speaker 6: The school seen the impact that you made. Have you Harbort,

955
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,240
Speaker 6: do you have a story from all?

956
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 8: What they do now is they're tracking. They're tracking like

957
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 8: we do an assembly program and what they they'll go

958
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 8: back like four months later and what they did this year.

959
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 8: This past year, one school district said we really want

960
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:19,839
Speaker 8: to make this work, so they brought us in to

961
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 8: do schools. But they had four educators watch the programs

962
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 8: and come up with slogans. So after we were gone

963
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 8: one week, it was Uncle Reggie said, you can't change

964
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 8: your past, but you could change the future. A week

965
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 8: later it was Uncle Reggie says, do your best because

966
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 8: you never know who's watching. So they had this for

967
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 8: a month, and then a month later they went back

968
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 8: and they tracked attendance, behavior and test scores up.

969
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 5: Up, that's amazing, that's amazing. Tell us what's up. And

970
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 5: for people watching, how they can support you, or if

971
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 5: they're watching and they would love to see you come

972
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 5: to their son or daughter school.

973
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 8: If you would love to see us come to schools. No,

974
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 8: it is secular. It's we stay within the parameters of education.

975
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 5: And you tell your story.

976
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I tell my story. Is the Youth Alliance dot com.

977
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,239

979
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 8: to do public schools. Everyone else, say a prayer for us,

980
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,480

Speaker 2: I have kids.

993
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 8: Every week at least one kid will come up and go, Hey,

00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 8: you do a really good job. Have you ever heard

995

Speaker 8: of Jesus? You got five minutes? Can I tell you

996

Speaker 8: who he is? And can I tell you what he

997
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 8: did for me? And these are like six graders, bro,

998
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 8: They're like little Billy Graham's running around and the principles

999
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 8: are like, yeah, he's our Jesus kid right there. We

1000
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 8: got to keep doing it for our church kids, keep

1001
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 8: preaching to him because they're getting it.

1002
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, they're going public.

1003
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 5: Do you feel like there's almost like an open window

1004
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 5: that God's given us for now?

1005
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 8: Absolutely, because he's coming. He's coming back. He is, He's

1006
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 8: coming back, and we got to help. We got to

1007
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 8: make the harvest is ripe. So he's got to keep

1008
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 8: proclaiming he's coming.

1009
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 5: Just take a moment if you will, and just pray

1010
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 5: generally as you feel led for those that are watching.

1011
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 5: Right before we leave the air.

1012
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 8: Jesus, I pray right now, God, God, you know who

1013
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 8: we are, You know where we're at. God, you created

1014
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 8: the heavens and the earth, you created television, You created

1015
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 8: all this so that we can sit by someone right

1016
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 8: now who's struggling. We can sit beside someone right now

1017
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 8: who's trying to figure out the why. But God, we

1018
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 8: know that no matter what the why is, You're the answer.

1019
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 8: So Jesus, I pray hope, I pray peace in every circumstance.

1020
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 8: Right now, God, I pray that a young man would

1021
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 8: put a gun down, that a young lady would lay

1022
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 8: the pills down, that a blade would be put back

1023
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 8: in the razor. Because there's hope, God, God, I pray God,

1024
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 8: that this would be seen by not the greatest of

1025
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,280
Speaker 8: the great, but the lowest.

1026
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 2: Of the low.

1027
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 8: God, let them know you still care about them, you

1028
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 8: still love them, and you're on their side. So I

1029
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 8: pray peace in Jesus' name, hope in Jesus' name. Let

1030
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 8: us be your hand extended. Let us God start conversations

1031
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 8: that end up with but Jesus. So God, we all

1032
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 8: need that moment in our life. But Jesus changed it.

1033
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 8: But Jesus changed my life. But Jesus set me free.

1034
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 8: And God, we know we don't have to carry those bags.

1035
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 8: We's got to drop those bags and turn to you

1036
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 8: in Jesus' name.

1037
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 2: Amen.

1038
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 5: Everybody said, Amen, Amen, Amen, We're out of time. Don't

1039
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 5: you remember that even though you can't change your past,

1040
00:54:54,920 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 5: you can decide today to change your future. And when

1041
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 5: you say yes to God, you can live a life

1042
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 5: filled with hope and faith and his unfailing love. And yeah,

1043
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 5: you still have issues and problems that you have to

1044
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 5: walk through. I mean, the Bible tells us. You know,

1045
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 5: we're going to have to deal with things. I mean,

1046
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 5: we don't live in a perfect world. This is the

1047
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,280
Speaker 5: difference for people who have a relationship with the Lord.

1048
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 5: They're not alone and you don't have to be along

1049
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 5: with whatever you're walking through, whatever you're going through. If
