Thank you for our ministry that's going forth 41 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: with our pop ups all summer long. Chad, We've got 42 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,839 Speaker 1: another pop up coming to Charleston, South Carolina. I think 43 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: next week it's going to be two weeks. It's going 44 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: to be a very busy summer. I planned to preach 45 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: my first sermon this week because we've had amazing guest preachers, 46 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: haven't We had some amazing guests and some of our 47 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: in house preachers. And I thought, well, I'll preach to 48 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: the youth Wednesday night, which I did, and then I'll 49 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: come back and preach. But something happened. I kind of wanted, well, 50 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: what I thought would be cool is can I just 51 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: come to church and here a guest preacher? But I 52 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: didn't have one lined up. And I was thinking about 53 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: that and praying about that. And Saturday, as I was 54 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: thinking and praying about that, last Saturday, that is, I 55 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: got a text and the text was from Bishop td Jakes. 56 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 2: Now, so this guy said. 57 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: To me the other day, he said, are you back 58 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: in the pulpit preaching this week? I said'm back in 59 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: the pulpit, but I'm not preaching. He looked disappointed. That 60 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: made me feel good. You always want people to be 61 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: a little disappointed when you say you're not coming back. 62 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: But then I said, but would you be interested if 63 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: I told you that Bishop td Jakes is going to 64 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: preach for me instead? 65 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: So here's what happened. Yeah, we all would. 66 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: I think you all know that he is not only 67 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: my preaching hero, but he has been one of the 68 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: closest friends that I could ask for. How many times 69 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: have I frantically sent him a text message on Saturday 70 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: night to ask him if my theology was incorrect on 71 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: a sermon I was about to preach to you, or 72 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: did he have a better title for it or could 73 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: he just come preach it for me? Well, last Saturday 74 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: he said, I'm gonna be in Charlotte if you want 75 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: to have dinner Sunday night. And I said, Sunday night, 76 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: So what are you doing Sunday morning? I started doing 77 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: the math. I figured he might be open, and I said, 78 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: would you be willing to come. 79 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 2: And preach to our people? 80 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: I would love for them to hear from you as 81 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: we celebrate this twentieth year of ministry. There's no voice 82 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: we'd rather hear than yours. And here's what's cool, before 83 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: he comes, Before he comes and just absolutely blesses us 84 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: like only he can. Yeah, don't skip Sunday's at Elevation Church. 85 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: You never know what God will do for you. That's 86 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: the moral of the story. You better log on, you know. 87 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: Just last Sunday, Bishop Jakes, after over thirty years of 88 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: pastoring the Potter's House in Dallas, transitioned the church to 89 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: the leadership of his daughter and his son in law, 90 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: Pastor Teray and Sarah Roberts. So I told him this 91 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: is his first Sunday as a free agent, and I 92 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: wanted to take the moment right now on video to 93 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: officially extend the offer that Bishop Jakes, we know you're 94 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: still going to be very busy changing the world and 95 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: completely redeveloping economies and feeding entire villages and changing the 96 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: trajectory of our nation's political structure, and preaching and teaching 97 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: and doing all the things that you do. We know 98 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: that you've got so much more to do. But Bishop Jakes, 99 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: I know you're back there listening to me.

But we have a great time sounding like 121 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 4: fork popcorn because God said, make a joy for noise 122 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 4: unto the Lord, and it can be syncopated, it can 123 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 4: be together, it doesn't matter.

Let everything that have breadth 128 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 4: age me the Lord. 129 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what. 130 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 2: I'm talking about. 131 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 4: Now that you craped your hands and you praise the 132 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 4: Lord and you sound like popcin. Your hair's all over 133 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 4: your head, You got a little bit of sweat and 134 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 4: breaking out on you. Turn around and hug somebody. Yeah, yeah, 135 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 4: get that anointed sweat on her. Yeah. Let the presence 136 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 4: of God over shaper them. You may be seeing Pessor 137 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 4: Steven Holly, I love you. I'm grateful to God for 138 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 4: this great church and the wonderful I love you. 139 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 2: Go back. 140 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 3: Isn't it wonderful? 141 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 4: The being here just to sing and be with other 142 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 4: believers and people who love the Lord like you do. 143 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 4: And there's an excitement that's contagious. You know, it's contagious, 144 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 4: like grief or anything. It's contagious. You see somebody crying, 145 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 4: you start crying, even though you don't know the person 146 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 4: that they're crying about. You just start crying because they're crying. 147 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 4: And then you're crying. Then you say, why am I crying? 148 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 4: You don't know why you're crying, but you're crying because 149 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 4: it's contagious. And when we laugh, we start laughing together. 150 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 4: Sometimes we didn't even see what happened. But if everybody 151 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 4: starts laughing in the room, we start laughing. And so 152 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 4: the joy of the Lord is contagious. The Bible said, 153 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 4: rejoice with them that do rejoice and so it's contagious. 154 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 4: You can come in here and not even be one 155 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 4: of us, not even be a Christian. But if you're 156 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 4: come in here, it's contagious. You'll find yourself, you know, 157 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 4: you know, So it's good. The problem is we can't 158 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 4: stay here, we can't live here. Like the priests who 159 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 4: went into the holies of Holies and found the sanctuary 160 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 4: of God, the presence of God of Glory falling in 161 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 4: the middle of the desert, they could only go in 162 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 4: there a day. They had to spend the rest of 163 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 4: the days in the outer court, because that's where. 164 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 2: The work is done. 165 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 4: And so what I want to talk to you today 166 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 4: about is where the work is done, not where the 167 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 4: joy is felt or the dance goes forth or the 168 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 4: people do some of y'all was doing the watusi or something. 169 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 4: Y'all make up a dance. I love y'all. Y'all don't 170 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 4: have no dan, just you know, and God loves it. 171 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 4: God just spends around on the throne because you're just 172 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 4: giving him to go. All of that is good, But 173 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 4: I want to get beyond all of that and beneath 174 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 4: all of that, and I want to peel that back 175 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 4: like it's an onion, and I want to get down 176 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 4: to the part of you that the Holy Spirit wants 177 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 4: to do something in. So tonight today I used to 178 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 4: preaching at night. I said, today, I want to talk 179 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 4: to you about the power to change your mind. The 180 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 4: power to change your mind. At a time they're trying 181 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 4: to put chips in our heads, and at a time 182 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 4: they're trying to put things into our hands so that 183 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 4: we can go to the grocery store and buy stuff 184 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 4: we don't need. So the hand can be so fat 185 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 4: it can't read the chip. You'll get it later, don't 186 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 4: worry better. At a time that everybody's getting all in 187 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 4: our refrigerator and Wi Fi controls it stuff that it 188 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 4: doesn't need to. I mean, my iron really doesn't need 189 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 4: Wi Fi. But some kind of way, my iron has 190 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 4: Wi Fi, so that when I'm earning my shirt, somebody 191 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 4: knows it and it's stored in the cloud. All the 192 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 4: wrinkles are stored in the cloud. At a time like that, 193 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 4: I've got to do the work of understanding what God 194 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 4: wants from me. Go with me quickly to the Book 195 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 4: of Roman, chapter twelve, verse one through twelve. Is very easy. 196 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 4: It's very simple. But I want to share with you today. 197 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 4: And I wrote it down because I'm old and I 198 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 4: can't remember stuff like I used to. Yeah, I'm a 199 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 4: free man. You know. I loved it. But I'm glad 200 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 4: for my daughter and my son in law who has 201 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 4: grabbed the reins and allowed me to get out and 202 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 4: see y'all on a Sunday morning. 203 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: Isn't that cool? 204 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 4: I feel like a giraffe let out of cage or something. 205 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 4: You know. Roman's twelve first one through twelve, and stand 206 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 4: for me for the reading of the world, would you 207 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 4: just for a minute. And I read King James. Not 208 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 4: that it's holy or anything, but I read it because 209 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 4: it's old like me, okay, And I like old stuff sometimes. 210 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 4: So I like the Eliza Beetham Elizabeefing type language that 211 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 4: makes the scripture sounds so prose and poetic and powerful. 212 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 4: And you can almost hear God's speaking to you by 213 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 4: the way it talks by him. Therefore, let us offer 214 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 4: the sacrifice of praise the power of it. It just 215 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 4: sounds nice. And nowhere is it anymore blatant than it is. 216 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 4: And this text Romans twelve and one, when the apostle Paul, 217 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 4: who is revered by all the thinkers of his age, 218 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 4: who speaks in a multiplicity of languages, who is accepted 219 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 4: in the courts of the wisest men of his era, 220 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 4: who has traveled by sea and by land to reach 221 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 4: and to touch various parts of the world with the 222 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 4: influence that he has, who has at one time been 223 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 4: a Christian killer and terror is been a terrorist against 224 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 4: the Kingdom of God, has had a Damascus Road experienced, 225 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 4: which he has to be willing to forsake some of 226 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 4: the admiration, to be into the will of God. That Paul, 227 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 4: who is of the tribe of Benjamin, that Paul who 228 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 4: is a Pharisee of Pharisees, that Paul who is responsible 229 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 4: for most of the New Testament. That without the Apostle Paul, 230 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 4: we wouldn't We wouldn't have the fivefold Ministry. We wouldn't 231 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 4: have the nine fruits of the Spirit. We wouldn't have 232 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 4: the nine gifts of the Spirit. We wouldn't have so 233 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 4: many the mystery of Godliness. We wouldn't know that. Behold, 234 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 4: I show you a mystery. We shall all sleep, and 235 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 4: we shall all be changed. This dude is bad, Okay, 236 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 4: this dude's bag If you take Paul out of the 237 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 4: New Testament, it becomes a comic book. That's how small 238 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 4: it's left. All the other books. I don't know whether 239 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 4: they got tired of writing, or their fingers hurt, or 240 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 4: they didn't afford any ink, but they didn't write nearly 241 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 4: as much except for He, they didn't write nearly as 242 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 4: much as Apostle. Paul gives us most of our understanding 243 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 4: of what we are supposed to be in this age 244 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 4: and this era, and we get to hear what he 245 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 4: is saying, as he has had an encounter with God 246 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 4: like us, not like Luke or Mark or Matthew, where 247 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 4: they actually got to walk with Jesus. He has had 248 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 4: an experience with God that has made him no God, 249 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 4: because he has had an experience, and invisible experience, invisible, 250 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 4: invisible that left him blind, and he learned to walk 251 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 4: by faith and not by sight. And he wasn't there 252 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 4: with any woman with his sher blood touching him of 253 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 4: his garment got here. He didn't get to see Lazar 254 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 4: come out the grave. He didn't get to see all 255 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 4: the good stuff he misses. All he had was a 256 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 4: great light hitting and the light was so strong that 257 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 4: it mesmerized and gave him the ability to change his 258 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 4: life and to be willing to forsake how people think 259 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 4: about him. It takes courage to be willing to change 260 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 4: the way people think about you and not be bothered 261 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 4: by it, not to seek their approval or their validation, 262 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 4: in order to be able to stand. That's who's talking 263 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 4: to us. And he has come from his lofty clouds 264 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 4: of intellectualism down to the low places of saying, I 265 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 4: beseech you there for brethren, which means I beg you, 266 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 4: the great Man begs I beg you there, for brethren, 267 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,119 Speaker 4: by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies 268 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 4: a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your 269 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 4: reasonable service.

I knew I locked you 339 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 4: because what they ain't get on your nerves every now 340 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 4: and then you tell us sit down, and you don't 341 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 4: quote those scriptures that you don't sing no song, You 342 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 4: tell them just sit down. 343 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 2: He seated. 344 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 4: Let's go to what everywhere I go, there's travels everywhere 345 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 4: I go. The place where we struggle is not so 346 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 4: much conversion, it's transformation. We have the conversion down, pat 347 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 4: We know how to lead you to Jesus. We know 348 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 4: how to skip, and we know how to dance, and 349 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 4: we know how to my daughter right. We know how 350 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 4: to do this real good. We know how to have conversion. 351 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 4: But we go home to wrestle with the inability to 352 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 4: have transformation. And it takes so much energy to have 353 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 4: conversion with out transformation. Now he begs us, by the 354 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 4: mercies of God, that we present our bodies a living sacrifice. 355 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 4: And when our Western when our Western mind, here is 356 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 4: this Eastern phrase. We don't know what a sacrifice is. 357 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 4: But a sacrifice is not a pretty sight. It's where 358 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 4: an animal stretched east and west and north and south 359 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 4: and tied to the altar and slaved with a knife 360 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 4: to catch some blood in a trough and set on fire. 361 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 2: He says, I want you to do that to you. 362 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 4: No wonder he's begging, because I don't know anybody in 363 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 4: here who's running up here trying to take the knife. 364 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 4: I don't know about anybody in here that wants to 365 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 4: be burned. Whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, or 366 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 4: black or white, or gray or green, or in between, 367 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 4: or you don't care, it doesn't make any difference. None 368 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 4: of us want to be burned. I don't see anybody saying, 369 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 4: you know, send me to Hell. Yeah, I go. I 370 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 4: need a son tan anyway, he has asked me to 371 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 4: present my body, which is never done in the Old Testament. 372 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 4: You never see a lamb kill himself. You never see 373 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 4: a goat commit suicide. All the sacrifices that have been 374 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 4: offered up to God in the past did not come 375 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 4: up their own accord. That were drug to the slough. 376 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 4: They were grabbed and tied by the hands. They were 377 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 4: nailed down, and they were squirming, and they died blading 378 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 4: and bleeding. 379 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 2: And it's an ugly. 380 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 4: Business, because freedom is always an ugly business. The truth 381 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 4: of the matter is Christianity is not pretty. Anything that 382 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 4: represents itself through the icon of a cross a place 383 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 4: of execution. It was execution to the Romans, non crucifixion. 384 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 4: To be nailed to a bloody cross, striped neked in 385 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 4: front of everybody. You've been teaching for three years is 386 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 4: a little troubling. I'm glad my pants are held up. 387 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 4: I pulled my belt real tight before I came out 388 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 4: here because of all the things I have to worry 389 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 4: about in my life, I do not want to have 390 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 4: to worry about my pants falling down. And what thank 391 00:24:55,040 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 4: you of me in that condition? I love these pants. 392 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 4: They cover my shit, they cover my body, and this 393 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 4: shirt it paints body and you really don't get to 394 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 4: see me, but you see what I'm wearing. But the 395 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 4: problem is God doesn't like fig leaves, and he doesn't 396 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 4: like to be covered. He wants to be brought open. 397 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 4: And we have this thing about us. Now we get saved, 398 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 4: our instantly born again, born of the spirit. When we 399 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 4: accept Christ as our savior, we're instantly born again changed. 400 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 4: Right then we have an amazing experience with God that 401 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 4: changes a lot of habits and stuff about us that 402 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 4: needs to be changed, and maybe stopped us from committing 403 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 4: suicide and hurting ourselves. It's great stuff. But then we 404 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 4: have to go home and live it out. We have 405 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 4: to in our living room with bills and stuff and 406 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 4: laid off a job and broken in our heart and 407 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 4: living with somebody who gets. 408 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 2: On our nurves. 409 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 4: And try to act like they don't get on our nerves, 410 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 4: but they're getting on our neirs. And we have to 411 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 4: have personality, and it's hard to have personality when you 412 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 4: have idiosyncrasies. I wish we came with warning labels. I 413 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 4: would love for God to put warning labels on our forehead. Hello, 414 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 4: my name is Mary. I'm crazy as a drunk bed bug. 415 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 4: Don't buy the fact that I'm cute and that I 416 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 4: got nice eyes, because my eyes roll up in my 417 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 4: head and I turn into the cooking monster. I am 418 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 4: scared of people, and I don't like to be in crowds. 419 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 4: I don't like to talk to when and accept when 420 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 4: I want to talk, and I'll tell you when I 421 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 4: want to talk. And then when I talk, I want 422 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 4: to talk about stuff that doesn't make any difference. And 423 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 4: I want you to listen and think it's important and 424 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 4: respond the way I like to have you respond, because 425 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 4: if you don't respond the way I like you to respond, 426 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 4: it's going to be hell up in this house. It's 427 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 4: gonna be absolute war up in this house. It's going 428 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 4: to be trouble up in this house. Because it's not Sunday. 429 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 4: It's Wednesday. It's Wednesday, and you make me sick. That's 430 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 4: where Christ wants to go into our personality and figuring 431 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 4: out how to get down past all the other stuff. 432 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 4: He says, present your body a living sacrifice. And how 433 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 4: do I tie myself? 434 00:27:59,000 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 2: How do. 435 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 4: How do I tie myself down? A little sacrifice? And 436 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 4: the truth of the matter is there are hundreds of 437 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 4: people in this room in one way or other who 438 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 4: is trying desperately to tie up themselves. But how can 439 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 4: I tie this hand and then have another hand loose 440 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 4: to tie this hand? And don't get me started talking 441 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 4: about these feet I got. This is not gonna be easy. 442 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 4: I beseech you there for brethren, by the mercies of God, 443 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 4: that you present your body a living sacrifice, holy unacceptable 444 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 4: unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Have you ever 457 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 4: I turned off the news sometimes just because I'm tired 458 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 4: of hearing bad stuff against me. Nightmares makes me scared 459 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 4: to sleep at night. I hear about all that stuff. 460 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 4: I pray about it, but I got to learn how 461 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 4: to release it, because I am not designed to carry 462 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 4: that much pain on the inside. We popular Contrary to 463 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 4: popular belief, we were not created with apple phones in 464 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 4: our pocket. God did not mean for millions of people 465 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 4: to walk around in your pocket about what's wrong with 466 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 4: their life and what they don't like about you, and 467 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 4: how you should fix your hair and you would look 468 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 4: better if you were blonde. God did not design us 469 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 4: to be inundated with other people's opinion to the point 470 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 4: we care to hear what's going on because so much 471 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 4: noise is coming from the outside that we cannot find 472 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 4: the peaceful place to work on who we really are 473 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 4: to become what he created us to be no wonder. 474 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 4: He's looking for us, no wonder.

He created him to be his mirror. He 482 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 4: created him to be his reflection.

He created himself 484 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 4: so there would be unity between heaven and earth, between 485 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 4: holy and holy, between divine and divine, between spotless and spotless. 486 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 4: He created him without a sin. He created him without 487 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 4: a lustful thought or a hateful idea, or a person 488 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 4: he wanted to choke till late turn blue. He did 489 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 4: not create him like that. He created him to be 490 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 4: a reflection of his love and his compassion and his grace, 491 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 4: and for him to literally reflect the personality of God 492 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 4: in the earth. 493 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 2: And that's what he wants. 494 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 3: For you. 495 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 2: To really reflect the personality of God in earth. And 496 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 2: that's why Hell hates you. 497 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 4: That's why Hell attacks you early in your life to 498 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 4: make sure that your personality is not the personality of God. 499 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 4: He knows what God wants to do in your life, 500 00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 4: and he has to. 501 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 2: Start the the plot early. 502 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 4: See, it hasn't hit you yet that you're a world changer, 503 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 4: that you're a giant killer, that you're a mountain mover, 504 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 4: that you were meant to walk on water, that you 505 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 4: are ahead and not the tail above and not. 506 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 2: Beneath an overcomer. 507 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 4: It hasn't hit you yet that you can command oceans 508 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 4: and mountains and seas and waves.

He wants to catch you early 514 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 4: where you are fragile and frail and not sure of 515 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 4: yourself and not stabilized in your formative years, when your 516 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 4: brain is still pliable and falling and able to be 517 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 4: shaped like clay in the hand of whoever touched him. 518 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 2: Who touched me. 519 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 4: Wasn't always God who touched me. Wasn't always God who 520 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 4: made me the mad, angry woman I am was not God, 521 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 4: who made me the distant aloof cold man. I am 522 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 4: was not God. God is not the problem. God is cool. 523 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 4: I'm down for God. I'm down for Jesus. It's all 524 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 4: the people who touched me before he did. It is 525 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 4: not my destiny that I'm worried about. It is the 526 00:33:54,880 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 4: contamination of my history. And to be transformed. To be 527 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 4: transformed is to take away the effects of my history. 528 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 4: So I come to church to hear about my destiny. 529 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 4: And my destiny sounds so wonderful, and he's good, and 530 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 4: he's wonderful, and he's good all the time, and everything's wonderful, 531 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,439 Speaker 4: and bless the name of the Lord, and come into 532 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 4: his house with thanksgiving. It's wonderful. And they tell me 533 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 4: about my destiny. I'm a mountain mover, I'm an overcomer. 534 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,439 Speaker 4: I've got the power of God in me. To tell 535 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,720 Speaker 4: me about my destiny. They tell me that my mouth 536 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 4: can speak and things can change. They tell me about 537 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 4: my destiny. But when I leave the parking lot and 538 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 4: drives smack dab into my history right, and my history contaminates. 539 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 4: My history contaminates me. My destiny that kool aid changes 540 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 4: water like wine changes when fermented it my destiny. My 541 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 4: whole stuff comes creeping up into my new stuff, and 542 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 4: I wrestle with my whole stuff and my new stuff, 543 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 4: and they are posed one to the other. And when 544 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 4: I would do good evil as present that which I 545 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 4: would do, I do not old wretched man that I am, 546 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 4: who should deliver me from the body of the dead. 547 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 4: I'm a great digon that, I'm a wretched man. I'm 548 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 4: a great believer. But you'd have to marry me to 549 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 4: find out. I'm a broken man. See when you dated him, 550 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:05,360 Speaker 4: he was perfect, and you dated her. She told you 551 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 4: if you needed anything, she'd take care of you at 552 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 4: three o'clock in the morning, and everything was wonderful. And 553 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 4: you married their representative, and you said you walked up 554 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 4: there like a dummy and said, I do to somebody 555 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 4: you haven't met yet. And before you know you've done it. 556 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 4: You've done it. You do what you've done until you've 557 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 4: done what you do, and you did it, and you've 558 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 4: done what you did. When you do what you're done, 559 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 4: when somebody you don't even know. For the first three years, 560 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 4: little by little you peel the onion down and get 561 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:56,399 Speaker 4: past the superficial and find out their quirkiness, their craziness, 562 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 4: their procrastination, they're indifference, they're missing dad syndrome, their critical 563 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 4: mother syndrome. And quote all the scriptures you will. You 564 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 4: cannot get that out of their person now. Their personality. 565 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 4: Personality is not spiritual reality. I didn't marry your spirit. 566 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 4: Your spirit is holy and perfect and complete before God. 567 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 4: I didn't marry your spirit. I married you your personality. 568 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 4: And now I am trying to be trying to figure 569 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 4: out what's going on? You know? 570 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 2: Can I take them innute? 571 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,799 Speaker 4: D I took my son to Spain cause he came 572 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 4: at a time that I had to go overseas anyway, 573 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 4: and I took my son's strain, and I was so 574 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 4: glad to take him places that my father only read 575 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 4: about him books and g had never been in themselves. 576 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 4: I took him to Spain. It was amazing. We had 577 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 4: a great time in Spain. I had never taken him 578 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 4: to Spain before. And then they told me we were 579 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 4: close to the Rock of Gibraltar. Now, I will be honest, 580 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 4: I didn't exactly know what the Rock of Gibraltar was. 581 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 4: I had heard of it, I read about it in school. 582 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 4: I passed the test but I didn't go to bed 583 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 4: every night thinking about the Rock of Gibraltar. It was 584 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,959 Speaker 4: not my life's dream to see the Rock of Gibraltar. 585 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 4: I was born in West Virginia, in the mountains. I 586 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 4: have seen enough rocks and mountains and hills, had violence 587 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 4: and shoveled enough snow that I didn't go all the 588 00:38:54,080 --> 00:39:01,839 Speaker 4: way to Spain to see a rock. If I'm going 589 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 4: to Spain, let me go to the museums, and let 590 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 4: me go to Barcelona, and let me go to Madrid, 591 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 4: and let me go down on the cobblestone streets of 592 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:16,359 Speaker 4: a city that is thousands of years old. And now 593 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,319 Speaker 4: they're telling me to go to the Rock of Gibraltar. 594 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 4: And there I am going to the Rock of Gibraltar, 595 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 4: fourteen hundred feet in the air. And it's not a 596 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 4: straight path. It's around winding roads and grinding here and 597 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,799 Speaker 4: there and everywhere. And I went there to the Rock 598 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 4: of Gibraltar with my son, and because I'm his dad, 599 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 4: like I know what I'm doing. Neither one of us 600 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,439 Speaker 4: know where we're going or what we're doing, or how 601 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,839 Speaker 4: to get there, or whether it matters. And our hole 602 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 4: I know is that the air gets thinned when you 603 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 4: get high in the air and fourteen hundred feet in 604 00:39:55,800 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 4: the air and you fat, you skinny. People don't laugh 605 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,839 Speaker 4: if you don't understand what I'm talking about. You have 606 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 4: to weigh over two hundred pounds to understand what fourteen 607 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 4: hundred feet in the air does to your nostrils. It 608 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 4: shrinks him down into baby nostrils, and you get you 609 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,800 Speaker 4: the baby nostrils down on the ENDSI and I'm trying 610 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 4: to breathe and act like I'm okay. And I'm starting 611 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 4: to see colors in front of my hair. I'm seeing 612 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 4: colors and more colors that are in a rainbow. I'm 613 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 4: seeing them everywhere. But I'm taking my son to the 614 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 4: Rock of Gibraltar. Do you know how much history was 615 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,320 Speaker 4: at the Rock of Gibraltar? 616 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 2: I didn't. Did you know? 617 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 4: I didn't. I didn't know at all. I didn't know. 618 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 4: I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know. You 619 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 4: know how we are in America. The world ends and 620 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 4: begins between New York and la We don't know about 621 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 4: no place else, And not our Congress, not our legislator, 622 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,839 Speaker 4: not our people passing law. Most of them don't even 623 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:03,400 Speaker 4: have a passport. We made decisions about countries we have 624 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 4: never been to, and we feel sorry and we send 625 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 4: our thoughts and prayers when they die, but we don't 626 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:15,439 Speaker 4: really think they're real people like us. They are their 627 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 4: caricatures on our TV screens and in our pockets and 628 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,439 Speaker 4: in our apps. And then we get on our app 629 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 4: and let's see, we scroll through them, and we look 630 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 4: at them. We pray for them sometimes, sometimes we pray 631 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 4: for them. Sometimes we just keep scrolling because it's happening 632 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 4: so much. It's happening everywhere. Everybody's drowning or burning or 633 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 4: dying or being bombed or being newt and going through 634 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 4: all kinds of trouble.

It's all 658 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 4: I can do to get him to shut his mouth 659 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 4: because he reacts, and because he has built up a 660 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:19,760 Speaker 4: system of hiding himself and handling himself and dealing with hisself. 661 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 4: And it may not be the right system, and it 662 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 4: may not work, and it may not have anything to 663 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 4: do with Church. But I have developed a pathology that 664 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,840 Speaker 4: enables me to live with me, and I can't figure 665 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 4: out why you can't develop a pathology to live with 666 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 4: me because I've worked on this for thirty years and 667 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 4: I figured out how. 668 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 2: To like me. 669 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 4: And now that I have finally figured out how to 670 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 4: like me, you act like you don't understand me, like 671 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 4: I'm crazy. 672 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 2: I'm not crazy. I have feeling. I have feeling about 673 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 2: going through it up. 674 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 4: I'm going through everything off by myself, and I don't know. 675 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 4: And I carried my son to the Rock of Gibraltar 676 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 4: and found out that's where all the fighting was since 677 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 4: the early fifteen hundreds, Nation after nations had fought in 678 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 4: that place. The Moores have fought in that place and 679 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 4: on that place and hallowed out the inside of the mountain. 680 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 2: It's hollow. 681 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,839 Speaker 4: You can go in there, and you can go up 682 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 4: the ramp, and there are all kinds of cannons there, 683 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 4: and you can shoot out of the Rock of Gibraltar. 684 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 4: You can shoot at people and they can't hit you 685 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 4: back easy. And so nation the nation fought to have 686 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,760 Speaker 4: control of that space. And since I was in Spain, 687 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 4: I thought I would go to the Rock of Gibraltar. 688 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,319 Speaker 4: And I got to the Rock of Gibraltar and I 689 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,320 Speaker 4: brought my franks there so that I could buy something 690 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,520 Speaker 4: while I was there, because I'm gonna buy something there 691 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,320 Speaker 4: and buy something. Part of my ministry is to buy something. 692 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 4: I am called to buy something. I am annoying to 693 00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 4: buy something. I don't care what it is. I'm going 694 00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 4: to buy something. I was born in West Virginia, a 695 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 4: little black boy with ashenees in West Virginia, with basoline 696 00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 4: for lotion on his kneecaps. And if I go all 697 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 4: the way to Spain, I'm going to buy something. I'm 698 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,600 Speaker 4: going to buy something. And I drive in there to 699 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 4: buy something, and I'm getting ready to go into the 700 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 4: air where the Rock of Gibraltar was, And you know what, 701 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,359 Speaker 4: I had to show my passport to get in and 702 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 4: pay a fee to get where they wanted me to 703 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 4: go and do all of that. And they told me 704 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 4: that they didn't take Franks. And I'm in Spain, and 705 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 4: what do you mean that what was valuable over here 706 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 4: is not valuable over there? That this one patch of 707 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 4: ground that you call the Rock of Gibraltar is controlled 708 00:45:54,800 --> 00:46:01,719 Speaker 4: by the Euros being kingdom. And they used and I 709 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 4: didn't bring no bounds. They didn't tell me that you 710 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 4: could have one little patch of ground out of all 711 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:13,279 Speaker 4: over country that belonged to somebody else. They didn't tell 712 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,279 Speaker 4: me that they fought for it, and died for it, 713 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 4: and bled for it to control it. Because it is 714 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 4: a sight where you can see nations. You can stand 715 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 4: on one nation and see the other nation. You can 716 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,480 Speaker 4: see the northern tip of Africa, you can see Morocco. 717 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,800 Speaker 4: You can see all kinds of stuff from that point. 718 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:33,759 Speaker 4: It's a high place. 719 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 2: Why. 720 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,239 Speaker 4: That's why in the Bible and the Old Testament you 721 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 4: always hear that God wants to move your hot places 722 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 4: because of high places. And the high places are the 723 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 4: places of strategic advantage. It is hard to kiss your 724 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 4: enemy if your enemy is over you. That's why they 725 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:58,359 Speaker 4: never put your brain in your foot. Because I can 726 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 4: drag my foot, even as old as as I am. 727 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,719 Speaker 4: I can get my foot up close enough that I 728 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,839 Speaker 4: can work on it if I have to. Don't tell 729 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 4: my wife because like I'm crippled, so should take care 730 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,920 Speaker 4: of it from me. But I can actually, if I 731 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 4: need to, I can do that. But God did not 732 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 4: put my brain in my foot. He put it in 733 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:19,279 Speaker 4: my head. Because I got a deal with the high places. 734 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,799 Speaker 4: That's where I shoot from. That's where my cannons go 735 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 4: off from That's where my cannons go off, whether they're 736 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 4: pointed out or in. Can I deep? Can I go 737 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:35,360 Speaker 4: deeper that my cannons go off? That's what That's what 738 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 4: you get out till. 739 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 2: You marry me. 740 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 4: You married your girlfriend, you went home with your wife, 741 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 4: You married your boyfriend, and you go home with your husband. 742 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 4: You married the person who showered and got ready and 743 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 4: got dressed and put on cologne, extra cologne. In fact, 744 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,399 Speaker 4: I couldn't breathe, and you put up from us clock 745 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 4: and you came out and you were ready for me. 746 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 4: And it was occasionally. I didn't know I was gonna 747 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,000 Speaker 4: have to wake up to you every day with bad 748 00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 4: breadth and hair all over your head and find out 749 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 4: that you leave your drawers in the middle of the floor, 750 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,239 Speaker 4: and that you don't keep it up to yourself, and 751 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,920 Speaker 4: you use the bathroom and don't wash your hands. And 752 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,080 Speaker 4: now I got to deal with all of that. And 753 00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 4: I didn't know that was possible. 754 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:18,560 Speaker 3: Is it? 755 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 2: Okay? Did I go too far? Okay? 756 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 4: I'm right on the edge. I'm right on here, and 757 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:24,959 Speaker 4: I'm stay on the edge. I'm stay on their edge. 758 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,880 Speaker 4: I'm gonna stay on the edge, because the Bible just 759 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,239 Speaker 4: told me that I have to deal with things from 760 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,920 Speaker 4: the rock at Gibraltar. I need a post that I 761 00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,239 Speaker 4: can shoot out. I need an area that protects me, 762 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,360 Speaker 4: and the area that I build to protect me also 763 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:48,759 Speaker 4: incarceraates me. And now I am protected, but I am 764 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,920 Speaker 4: also isolated, and you can't hurt me. Say whatever you 765 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 4: want to say, row your eyes, texting about me right now, 766 00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 4: tweet if me, if you want to take a picture 767 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,759 Speaker 4: and put it on Facebook right now. Because I have 768 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 4: developed a system, you will not getting me. I ain't 769 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:13,360 Speaker 4: thinking about you. I don't even know you. You can be 770 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,800 Speaker 4: sleeping up under the bridge somewhere. I don't care whether 771 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 4: you like my hair or not. I'm not gonna give 772 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,279 Speaker 4: you that much power over me. I have developed a 773 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:26,560 Speaker 4: system to handle all of that, even if it's cutting off. 774 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 4: Do you know my wife has two phones and don't 775 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 4: answer neither one of them. Honest to God, I'm telling 776 00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,319 Speaker 4: the truth. I do not understand why she needs two phones. 777 00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,400 Speaker 4: She got two different phone numbers, two different phones all together, 778 00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 4: and she never can find either one of them. Sometimes 779 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 4: she's looking at it while it's ringing, and it does 780 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,840 Speaker 4: not bother her. That the phone is ringing. She walks 781 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,520 Speaker 4: past the phone ringing and keeps on singing what she's singing, 782 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 4: And she's refusing to let that mas many people get 783 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 4: in her life and get in her head, and get 784 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:07,640 Speaker 4: in her mind and get into her spirit. She has 785 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 4: to be transformed by the renewing of her mind. And 786 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 4: sometimes we build up ways to be transformed by the 787 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 4: renewing of our mind. I've been studying this for a week. 788 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 4: Our brain is designed to deliver enzymes and hormones that 789 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 4: secrete fluids in us that helps with us steal with 790 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:37,880 Speaker 4: what's on our mind. And we got a lot on 791 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 4: our mind. And I've been reading a book, an old 792 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,800 Speaker 4: book written by an old author or doctors, who said, 793 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:51,280 Speaker 4: the body keeps score. You read it, the body keeps score. 794 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 4: So everything I didn't say, and everything I held in, 795 00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,600 Speaker 4: and everything I suppressed, and everything I wouldn't get out, 796 00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:03,920 Speaker 4: the body kept score. The body kept scoring. And so 797 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:09,640 Speaker 4: I survived. Heroes, I survived, heroes, I survived. I survived. 798 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:16,759 Speaker 4: But just because I survived doesn't mean I succeeded. Can 799 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:21,000 Speaker 4: I teach this? And now the Bible has said to 800 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,319 Speaker 4: me that I can be transformed by the renewing of 801 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,600 Speaker 4: my mind. Oh no, wait, wait a minute, i'mosad to 802 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,640 Speaker 4: the rock and Gibraltar. I got a finish say that 803 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,080 Speaker 4: I was at the rocky Gibraltar. And I went all 804 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,000 Speaker 4: the way through the rocky Gibraltars and went on the 805 00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,319 Speaker 4: house side of Rock of Gibraltar, and my son is 806 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:37,920 Speaker 4: with me, and I got to the top of the 807 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,640 Speaker 4: rock and there's all of these monkeys. Yeah, I gotta 808 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,920 Speaker 4: tell you about the monkeys. And all these monkeys are there. 809 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 4: There were monkeys up. There were monkeys on my car. 810 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,759 Speaker 4: There were monkeys on the window. There were monkeys on 811 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 4: the back window. And they were talking about how cute 812 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,080 Speaker 4: the monkeys were. And the monkeys was leaving little white 813 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,840 Speaker 4: spots on everything. And they weren't quite execute as I 814 00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,799 Speaker 4: thought they were. They were all everything, but it was 815 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,920 Speaker 4: so so nice, It was so wonderful. 816 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,440 Speaker 2: You felt so likely you were in another country. 817 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,040 Speaker 4: Always monkeys, and I had the monkeys everywhere, and the 818 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,880 Speaker 4: monkeys were everywhere, and the monkeys were everywhere, and I 819 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,360 Speaker 4: started noticing they were something weird about these monkeys. 820 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:16,920 Speaker 2: And see, I. 821 00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:21,719 Speaker 4: Watched too much TV. I watched these movies where the 822 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:26,480 Speaker 4: monkeys start talking to each other. You ever watched the monkeys? 823 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 4: Where do the monkeys start driving cars? And the monkeys 824 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 4: started mediating with each other, and they start calling one another, 825 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,120 Speaker 4: and they come through the trees and everything. And I 826 00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:36,880 Speaker 4: know that there was a whole lot of gathering around 827 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:38,879 Speaker 4: my car, a whole lot of them around my car. 828 00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:40,239 Speaker 4: I had fought one of two of them, but it 829 00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,680 Speaker 4: was a whole lot of them around my car. And 830 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 4: they were all around my car. And it was all 831 00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,239 Speaker 4: of these monkeys. And you know what was weird about them. 832 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:53,280 Speaker 4: They didn't have no tails. They didn't have no tails. 833 00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,399 Speaker 4: And my gud told me when the monkeys first came 834 00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 4: to the Rock and Gibraltar, they were born with tails. 835 00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:06,320 Speaker 4: Monkey tales, you know monkey tales. They have monkey tales. 836 00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,640 Speaker 4: But the tail is so small, just a little bit 837 00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:13,080 Speaker 4: of gristle and meat. The tail is so small. And 838 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:18,200 Speaker 4: the winter changes in Gibraltar, and it gets cold in Gibraltar, 839 00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:24,759 Speaker 4: and in the winter, you know what happened, don't stop me. 840 00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:36,080 Speaker 4: You know what happened. They froze their tail off. They 841 00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:42,680 Speaker 4: actually froze their tail off. And you know what else. 842 00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,400 Speaker 4: The next time, the next generation, when they had babies, 843 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:52,680 Speaker 4: they had tails too, and they froze their tail off. 844 00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:54,799 Speaker 2: You're gonna leave. 845 00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,480 Speaker 4: Out here and tell everybody I appreciate about monkey tales, 846 00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,799 Speaker 4: aren't you? Don't you tell her about I said that 847 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,399 Speaker 4: about freezing their tails off? Don't you do that that? 848 00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,160 Speaker 4: That doesn't sound real preachery, So don't do that. They 849 00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 4: might take it out of context and put it on Instagram. 850 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,840 Speaker 4: Lord at Mercy, I forgot. It's gonna probably be on 851 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,560 Speaker 4: Instagram now, and that's gonna be one more thing I'm 852 00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:18,719 Speaker 4: gonna have to scroll past and ignore them because they're 853 00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:23,280 Speaker 4: all in on that that that they froze their tails off. 854 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,960 Speaker 4: And you know what, by the third generation, they were 855 00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:34,920 Speaker 4: born without tails. Wow, they stop being born with tails 856 00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:43,040 Speaker 4: so they wouldn't freeze them off. And suddenly I understood 857 00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 4: something I never understood why Jesus said, if your hand offends, you. 858 00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 2: Cut it off. 859 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,680 Speaker 4: Because I'm a literalist. When you tell me something, I 860 00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 4: take you seriously. So if you tell me to jump 861 00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,799 Speaker 4: on him, I'm gonna jump on him. We figure out 862 00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,880 Speaker 4: what happen later. I'm jumping. I'm gonna jump right now. 863 00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,000 Speaker 4: I'm gonna jump That first time I went to Africa, 864 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,560 Speaker 4: the big crowd of people, and they were so excited 865 00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:10,840 Speaker 4: and they were praying, and they all wanted delivering. I 866 00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,440 Speaker 4: just dived, you know, like they're doing it. I just 867 00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,920 Speaker 4: dived out in the crowd. They almost killed me. They 868 00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,440 Speaker 4: almost killed me. They took my ring, they was pulling 869 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:25,080 Speaker 4: on my clothes. They take prayers so seriously, they take prayers, 870 00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 4: soul seriously, they take prayer so seriously. My son and 871 00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,400 Speaker 4: I on the top of the rockets Gibraltar, and the 872 00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 4: monkeys have stopped growing what they didn't need.
