Crown Ignorant Kings — Reclaiming Truth, Authority, and the Kingdom What if ignorance isn’t an insult—but a wake-up call? In this unapologetically bold podcast, we challenge the misunderstood meaning of “ignorance” and uncover how misinformation, withheld truth, and spiritual misdirection have robbed humanity of its divine inheritance. Here, truth isn’t just facts—it’s original, eternal knowledge that transcends the senses. We delve into the profound message that every human being was created as a king, not by gender, but by divine authority. Through powerful revelations, we explore why God came in human form: to restore what was lost, to reconnect us to the Kingdom, and to reclaim the crowns forfeited through disobedience. This isn’t your typical Gospel conversation. We go beyond “What Would Jesus Do” and ask the real question: What Did Jesus Say? Because the true Good News isn’t just about the cross—it’s about the crown beyond it. Join us as we confront spiritual misconceptions, awaken dormant authority, and do the work to Crown Ignorant Kings—one truth at a time. Now, Let's Adjust Our Crowns!

## Transcript

[0:09] Speaker 1: You're listening to Crowning Ignorant Kings, a podcast for citizens
[0:14] Speaker 1: with like minds who love God, follow Christ, and have
[0:17] Speaker 1: a desire to be an ambassador for the Kingdom of
[0:21] Speaker 1: Heaven on earth. We are John and Charlene Donaldson, who
[0:25] Speaker 1: are teachers building a Kingdom community. Thank you again for
[0:29] Speaker 1: joining us. Now let's suggest our crowns.
[0:36] Speaker 2: I think it's very clear that whenever a year passes,
[0:40] Speaker 2: time passes, and I just wanted to quickly remind you
[0:45] Speaker 2: of what this year should be for all of us.
[0:49] Speaker 2: First of all, a new year gives us an opportunity
[0:55] Speaker 2: to redefine our priorities. I want you to make a
[1:00] Speaker 2: note of that and make a decision the next few
[1:02] Speaker 2: days to take a review.
[1:05] Speaker 3: And take stock of your life.
[1:08] Speaker 2: Are the things I'm doing important or just urgent? Don't
[1:15] Speaker 2: confuse urgent things with important things. Secondly, a new year
[1:23] Speaker 2: gives an opportunity for us to redefine our purpose. Are
[1:31] Speaker 2: we still on course for what we were born to do?
[1:39] Speaker 2: A new year also gives us opportunity to redefine our
[1:47] Speaker 2: life's vision. Do we know exactly what we want to
[1:52] Speaker 2: do for the next twenty five years? We are still
[2:01] Speaker 2: in line with our clear vision for our lives. Is
[2:06] Speaker 2: that vision on paper still has it been refined? I'm
[2:10] Speaker 2: doing that myself for my own life. A new year
[2:15] Speaker 2: also gives opportunity for us to re establish worthwhile goals.
[2:22] Speaker 2: That's why I say worthwhile, not the way they should
[2:25] Speaker 2: be worth your while. You can establish goals that waste
[2:31] Speaker 2: your time because they don't take you toward your vision.
[2:37] Speaker 2: So go back and don't be afraid to mock out
[2:41] Speaker 2: some things that don't make sense. Don't be afraid to
[2:44] Speaker 2: give up on things that are not important anymore. Don't
[2:47] Speaker 2: be afraid to confess that I was off with that.
[2:50] Speaker 2: Let me get back on. It's better to do it
[2:53] Speaker 2: now than to try and do it later. A new
[2:57] Speaker 2: year also gives us opportunity to bury the past and
[3:04] Speaker 2: to move into a future that we haven't created yet.
[3:12] Speaker 2: So please get over it. Tell your neighbor get over it.
[3:20] Speaker 2: Tell him whatever it was, get over it right now
[3:23] Speaker 2: in this meeting. Yeah, leave all the baggage you had.
[3:30] Speaker 3: In two ten in two ten.
[3:34] Speaker 2: Loose yourself, cut off all the weight, get rid of
[3:39] Speaker 2: stuff that has been distracting you, and forget the past.
[3:51] Speaker 2: That's what the new year does it's a powerful change.
[3:56] Speaker 2: I talked about redeeming the time, and this is so important.
[4:02] Speaker 2: I want you to turn your Bible through Ephesians. I
[4:05] Speaker 2: want you to turn there in your own bible. Ephesians
[4:09] Speaker 2: chapter five. Ephesians five gives great advice about your life.
[4:19] Speaker 2: It begins out by saying wake up. Paul was not
[4:28] Speaker 2: talking to sleeping people physically. He was speaking to people
[4:34] Speaker 2: who were sleeping through life, mundane, boring, day to day routine,
[4:44] Speaker 2: same traffic jams, same clothes, same friends, same activities, same habits,
[4:51] Speaker 2: same TV shows. He say, wake up. You can be
[4:58] Speaker 2: walking in sleep. You can spend years sleep walking. Look
[5:07] Speaker 2: at that verse, Take your pen, underline it in your bible.
[5:13] Speaker 2: Wake up, oh sleeper. Arise.
[5:19] Speaker 3: That means get yourself up.
[5:22] Speaker 2: A rise means no one's gonna change your condition. A
[5:28] Speaker 2: rise is self initiated action. Nothing will change this year
[5:36] Speaker 2: until you change it. Wake up. How many have you
[5:43] Speaker 2: ever wake up but didn't arise? Some of your did
[5:47] Speaker 2: this morning. Some of y'all woke up at seven and
[5:52] Speaker 2: still came to church at ten because you woke up,
[5:58] Speaker 2: but you didn't arrive.
[6:01] Speaker 3: You know, people love to come.
[6:03] Speaker 2: To watch night services to wake up but then when
[6:09] Speaker 2: the meeting is over, they go back to sleep the
[6:13] Speaker 2: whole year. Arise after you wake up, and then he says,
[6:26] Speaker 2: and let Christ shine upon you. Christ means the anointed King.
[6:35] Speaker 2: Shine means exposure. When you wake up and you get up,
[6:42] Speaker 2: he'll show you everything you've been doing wrong. He will
[6:46] Speaker 2: expose all of your bad decisions, your irresponsible behavior. He
[6:53] Speaker 2: will show you how you've been lazy in certain areas
[6:55] Speaker 2: of your life. Last year, he'd expose all the wrong
[6:58] Speaker 2: company you've been keeping. He'd exposed how you waste money.
[7:03] Speaker 2: Imagine if you had saved some of that money lives year,
[7:09] Speaker 2: he shines on us. Wake up good, get up fine,
[7:17] Speaker 2: and here's what's wrong, he says. Now once you wake
[7:22] Speaker 2: up and you a rise, and he shows you what's
[7:25] Speaker 2: lacking in your life. The good news is this, it says,
[7:30] Speaker 2: be careful how you walk away from the bed. The
[7:36] Speaker 2: bed is where you've been sleeping all last year. Your
[7:40] Speaker 2: life is your bed. The lifestyle is your bed. Have
[7:44] Speaker 2: you been sleeping with habits all year? And God says,
[7:49] Speaker 2: walk away from the bed, walk away from the lifestyle.
[7:53] Speaker 2: Why because last year was a time element it was
[8:00] Speaker 2: twelve months. Now you got twelve months ahead of you
[8:05] Speaker 2: one more time, and it says, do not be unwise,
[8:12] Speaker 2: but be what wise right? The word wisdom, now wise wisdom.
[8:20] Speaker 3: This is what.
[8:22] Speaker 2: God is saying to you this year. Everybody say wisdom,
[8:27] Speaker 2: say wise. The word wisdom.
[8:29] Speaker 3: Here's what it means.
[8:30] Speaker 2: Write it down. It means applied knowledge, applied knowledge. Wisdom
[8:41] Speaker 2: is different from knowledge and understanding. Knowledge is information. Wisdom
[8:50] Speaker 2: is different. Understanding is comprehension, but wisdom is application.
[9:01] Speaker 3: God didn't say, arise and.
[9:03] Speaker 2: Walk away from your old life with knowledge because you
[9:08] Speaker 2: already got so much knowledge last year. The teaching that
[9:13] Speaker 2: you've got is enough for people to fly from the
[9:18] Speaker 2: congo and give a testimony. And you're still stuck with
[9:25] Speaker 2: some habits. Can I suggest that this year should be
[9:36] Speaker 2: maybe in your life, the year of application? Say it.
[9:43] Speaker 2: This is the year of practical life, where everything the theories,
[9:47] Speaker 2: the principles and all this great revelation you've gotten from
[9:51] Speaker 2: God and the Kingdom. God said, I want you to
[9:52] Speaker 2: apply them this year. I want wisdom this year. Why
[9:58] Speaker 2: look at the next.
[9:59] Speaker 4: Statements says the next verse says redeeming the time, because
[10:07] Speaker 4: you ain't got long to live this term days are
[10:11] Speaker 4: evil means days are short.
[10:14] Speaker 2: That's what it means. This same statement is found in
[10:16] Speaker 2: the Book of Ecclesiasities, chapter twelve, the last chapter actually,
[10:20] Speaker 2: and it says, remember now, thy Creator, in the days
[10:24] Speaker 2: of your youth, while the evil days come. Not that
[10:27] Speaker 2: means your years are not cut off. He says, wake up,
[10:32] Speaker 2: redeem the time, because you ain't gonna live as long
[10:34] Speaker 2: as you think. He's trying to give us a consciousness
[10:45] Speaker 2: of death. Do you know what motivates me? My death?
[10:57] Speaker 2: There's one thing you can be sure of. You will die. Okay,
[11:01] Speaker 2: get over that. Accept that now. Once you get that
[11:05] Speaker 2: clad off on your mind, I'm gonna die, then you
[11:08] Speaker 2: back up and then you start living sensibly.
[11:11] Speaker 3: Right Yep.
[11:14] Speaker 2: Death is a great motivator. Every time I think of
[11:24] Speaker 2: doing something that God challenges me to do and I'm
[11:30] Speaker 2: afraid to do it, he always reminds me, how long
[11:33] Speaker 2: will you be dead? Let me say it another way too,
[11:38] Speaker 2: For some of you who are putting things off. Maybe
[11:42] Speaker 2: you wanted to go on a cruise all your life,
[11:47] Speaker 2: and you keep saying someday I'll do it, and that's
[11:52] Speaker 2: been ten years. M Imagine going to heaven and never
[11:56] Speaker 2: been on a cruise. We're going to the Holy Land
[12:02] Speaker 2: in June this year. And some of you saying I
[12:05] Speaker 2: ain't got no money. List, then you ain't gonna never
[12:08] Speaker 2: have the money. God doesn't work with money. God works
[12:17] Speaker 2: with decisions and desires. Write it down.
[12:22] Speaker 3: I just gave you important principle.
[12:25] Speaker 2: God doesn't provide money first, He works with desires and decisions.
[12:34] Speaker 2: God never says I will give you what you got
[12:40] Speaker 2: money to pay for. Doesn't no. He says, acknowledge me,
[12:52] Speaker 2: and I will give you the desires that are in
[12:56] Speaker 2: your mind. So when you wanna do something in life,
[13:08] Speaker 2: first you gotta desire it.
[13:11] Speaker 3: Now.
[13:11] Speaker 2: Desire is a deep word because desire means you are passionate,
[13:15] Speaker 2: commit it, dedicate it, and won't quit till you get something.
[13:20] Speaker 3: Is that how bad you wanna go to Israel?
[13:23] Speaker 2: Or is it just a tour? See? Desires means that
[13:28] Speaker 2: you are willing to pay a price. Then God provides
[13:32] Speaker 2: the price. God doesn't give you what you are interested in.
[13:42] Speaker 2: He is. He gives you what you are passionate for.
[13:47] Speaker 2: Casual faith will never attract God. Passionate faith.
[13:56] Speaker 3: Attracts God's provision, redeem.
[14:01] Speaker 2: The time for the days are evil in other words,
[14:03] Speaker 2: living a way where every day is a deal passion.
[14:09] Speaker 2: Redeeming the time means I am going to get back
[14:13] Speaker 2: everything that I lost by bad use of time.
[14:19] Speaker 3: Look at verse seventeen.
[14:20] Speaker 2: It says, wherefore be not foolish, But it's foolish, okay.
[14:26] Speaker 2: It wise means to apply knowledge. Then foolish means what
[14:30] Speaker 2: to get knowledge, but to apply it. A lot of
[14:34] Speaker 2: God is saying there's some very educated fools. I don't
[14:40] Speaker 2: think anybody perhaps in this country. And I hope I
[14:46] Speaker 2: don't get in trouble for saying this. I received so
[14:49] Speaker 2: much revelation then people who come to this place. So
[14:57] Speaker 2: knowledge ain't your problem. Now I'm now, please don't stone me,
[15:08] Speaker 2: but let's read. Regard says okay, wr verse seventeen, wherefore
[15:12] Speaker 2: do not be foolish.
[15:15] Speaker 3: Don't look now, there's one way behind you. A foolish
[15:19] Speaker 3: person could have a lot of knowledge.
[15:23] Speaker 2: It's like a smoking doctor, Am I right?
[15:29] Speaker 3: A smoking doctor is a fool. He knows what cigarettes.
[15:33] Speaker 2: Will do, but he smokes, so he has knowledge but
[15:38] Speaker 2: no wisdom. HM. So don't think ignorance makes you fool.
[15:50] Speaker 2: Knowledge makes you fool, cause knowledge increases your capacity to
[15:59] Speaker 2: be a fool are you getting it? Tell your neighbor
[16:08] Speaker 2: you should have never come to this place. On Jesus,
[16:15] Speaker 2: Jesus said to the disciples, I'm to the Pharisees. He said,
[16:18] Speaker 2: to the pharaseesars Christ, He said, if I have not
[16:21] Speaker 2: come to you unspoken my words to you, you would
[16:26] Speaker 2: be excused in your sins. But because I have come
[16:29] Speaker 2: to you and I have told you the truth, you
[16:33] Speaker 2: will die in your sin. He says, Wake up. He says,
[16:45] Speaker 2: this year must be a year that you redeemed the time,
[16:48] Speaker 2: because you ain't got much of it. Jesus died at
[16:52] Speaker 2: thirty years old. How old are you? He did so
[16:56] Speaker 2: much in three years? It embarrasses us. His ministry lasted three.
[17:01] Speaker 3: Years, and he saved the whole world in three years.
[17:03] Speaker 2: That's what I call using your time? How long you
[17:07] Speaker 2: been living? Redeeming the time? Because he says, if you don't,
[17:19] Speaker 2: you'll be foolish. The next statement, read it, but understand
[17:23] Speaker 2: what the will of the Lord is. He shifts to purpose.
[17:26] Speaker 2: He says, find out God's will for your life, so
[17:29] Speaker 2: you can stop wasting your time, your energy, your gifts,
[17:34] Speaker 2: your talents, your wonderful, beautiful presence. On the wrong people.
[17:41] Speaker 2: The will of God supposed to dictate your schedule, the
[17:46] Speaker 2: will of God supposed to dictate your company. Can you
[17:50] Speaker 2: imagine that? Says the will of God should tell you
[17:53] Speaker 2: who to be with, who not to be with. And
[17:56] Speaker 2: I told you the other night, some folks ain't all
[17:58] Speaker 2: like the fact that you don't want to be with them.
[18:01] Speaker 2: It's okay to leave people. Not everybody's supposed to be
[18:08] Speaker 2: with you, So stop trying to get anyone to like you.
[18:12] Speaker 2: Choose your company based on your destiny. Jesus Christ chose
[18:21] Speaker 2: his friends. He left his family and chose his friends.
[18:26] Speaker 2: Some of you left your family and came to this church.
[18:30] Speaker 2: Do you know why? Because I am a good company.
[18:34] Speaker 2: Hopefully that you are being helped and elevated and encouraging
[18:39] Speaker 2: and challenged to become great. Sometime it's terrible to go home.
[18:44] Speaker 2: For some of you, going home is a is a
[18:47] Speaker 2: coming down because you gotta be among people who always complaining,
[18:54] Speaker 2: finding fault, always negative. I mean, it's like you wanna
[18:57] Speaker 2: stay on the mountain.
[19:01] Speaker 5: You have to protect your life, it says, understand the
[19:10] Speaker 5: will of God, and then he says, and.
[19:14] Speaker 2: Be not drunk with wine. Now back there in Paul's day,
[19:21] Speaker 2: they used to smoke weaf reefer. I am sure they
[19:25] Speaker 2: had opium in that part of the world. I'm sure
[19:28] Speaker 2: and they still do. They had marijuana, they had cocaine,
[19:34] Speaker 2: et cetera. Now we are amazing people. We outlaw marijuana,
[19:42] Speaker 2: cocaine and there's other stuff, but we legalize what Paul say,
[19:58] Speaker 2: the most dangerous drug in the Bahamas is alcohol. Did
[20:03] Speaker 2: you know that? Asks any doctor? We legalize the worst
[20:09] Speaker 2: one because that.
[20:10] Speaker 3: One is so subtle.
[20:12] Speaker 2: You know, when you stuck up some cocaine, you get
[20:14] Speaker 2: hit right away, bomb head gone, You're stuck on arico,
[20:21] Speaker 2: few dis wool. All of a sudden you see colors
[20:23] Speaker 2: and everybody's cool. But when you drink one bear, you
[20:26] Speaker 2: don't feel nothing, second bear nothing you think, you think
[20:31] Speaker 2: you're cool. And by the time the fifth bear hits
[20:35] Speaker 2: you and not half a cup of dumenet and some standard.
[20:42] Speaker 3: What a standard?
[20:43] Speaker 2: You don't what to know?
[20:43] Speaker 3: Standard is people in Nigeria? You know standard is standard?
[20:49] Speaker 2: Standards is the alcohol in the Obamas. When you open
[20:51] Speaker 2: the bottle, smokers come out. Some of y'all doing talking
[20:57] Speaker 2: about you used to drink that pausess. Look, if you
[21:02] Speaker 2: drink or you take anything that disturbs.
[21:05] Speaker 3: Your mental faculty.
[21:07] Speaker 2: If you take anything that disturbs your focus, he says,
[21:10] Speaker 2: you are destroying your time. I've known people who were
[21:19] Speaker 2: in base houses for weeks. A base house is a
[21:23] Speaker 2: house where people go to take drugs with other drug users.
[21:29] Speaker 5: They can spend months in there that life goes by.
[21:38] Speaker 2: Any habit that controls your life is a time stealer.
[21:47] Speaker 2: It may not be alcohol, It may not be drugs.
[21:50] Speaker 2: It can be pornography, It can be a prostitution male
[21:59] Speaker 2: and female. Anything habitual is dangerous. It's the time stealer.
[22:09] Speaker 2: Let me prove that for you.
[22:10] Speaker 3: This is very interesting.
[22:12] Speaker 2: Uh. The word redeem, redeem the time is important.
[22:15] Speaker 3: Way to talk about this the other night.
[22:17] Speaker 2: Redeem means to own something. If I say to you,
[22:22] Speaker 2: redeem your time, what do I mean to take ownership
[22:25] Speaker 2: of it? Again? Get it? That means you cannot allow
[22:30] Speaker 2: this year for anyone or anything.
[22:32] Speaker 3: To control your time that is not.
[22:34] Speaker 2: Important to your purpose. The word redeem also means to
[22:39] Speaker 2: fulfill a pledge. It also means to convert into value.
[22:43] Speaker 2: To redeem money or to redeem something that someone owes
[22:45] Speaker 2: you means that they actually bring it back. To you.
[22:48] Speaker 2: Redeem the time means you go back and get the
[22:51] Speaker 2: time that was stolen last year. That means you stop
[22:55] Speaker 2: letting people use your life. The last one I thought
[22:59] Speaker 2: was very interesting. Redeem means to repossess something. Redeem the
[23:04] Speaker 2: time for the days I evil. Repossess time? Why because
[23:08] Speaker 2: you ain't got long to live? It says God. He
[23:11] Speaker 2: creates life with time, and your life is your time.
[23:15] Speaker 2: And whatever you do with your time, that's your life. Yeah.
[23:22] Speaker 2: So anyone, no, anything that consumes your time is consuming
[23:26] Speaker 2: your life. Some people are parasites. They suck your time.
[23:33] Speaker 2: M it's gonna be a good year. You're gonna repossess
[23:40] Speaker 2: your life. Say it loud.
[23:42] Speaker 3: I will repossess my life.
[23:45] Speaker 2: How? How? How? How I'm gonna control my time again? Yeah?
[23:51] Speaker 3: I will sit down and.
[23:52] Speaker 2: Read the Bible every morning for one hour.
[23:53] Speaker 3: You gotta control that hour.
[23:58] Speaker 2: I will go to prem me never mind at this church.
[24:00] Speaker 2: What I'm gonna control the time again?
[24:04] Speaker 3: I'm gonna be.
[24:05] Speaker 2: A church at nine point thirty to worship God's a
[24:07] Speaker 2: corporate effort. Why I wanna control the time again? We've
[24:10] Speaker 2: lost control? Redeem the time. Here's something I thought was interesting. Uh.
[24:20] Speaker 2: The translation of this verse is found. Poor wrote this
[24:23] Speaker 2: verse three or three or four times in different books.
[24:26] Speaker 3: And Glossians four.
[24:27] Speaker 2: He says, walk in wisdom toward those who are what outside,
[24:31] Speaker 2: redeeming the time. Walking what wisdom toward who? He said, Look,
[24:36] Speaker 2: when you walk out of your house a lot of
[24:38] Speaker 2: people unsay outside means unsaved people. They're not a part
[24:41] Speaker 2: of the kingdom, he said, walk with them wisely? Why
[24:44] Speaker 2: because they will eat your time up.
[24:49] Speaker 3: Look at that verse. Wisdom means what.
[24:52] Speaker 2: Applied knowledge, he said, when you, when you, when you
[24:54] Speaker 2: meet people, kick your knowledge in fast. Let me see
[24:57] Speaker 2: this person making sense. Some folks want an appointment to
[25:01] Speaker 2: talk foolishness. You're listening to me. There are some folks
[25:07] Speaker 2: who wanna take you on a date, and they ain't
[25:09] Speaker 2: got no sense. There are some people who wanna marry
[25:17] Speaker 2: you just spend the rest of their life parasiting me. You.
[25:23] Speaker 2: It's a new word, sucking your life out of your life.
[25:32] Speaker 2: When you deal with people, he says, be wise, protect
[25:37] Speaker 2: your time, save with me, Protect your time. There are
[25:41] Speaker 2: some friends who ain't friends. You know that two thousand
[25:46] Speaker 2: and ten is the year to take stock, do some inventory,
[25:49] Speaker 2: and throw some old things out. Of the warehouse. And
[25:52] Speaker 2: it might be people, it might be habits, it might
[25:59] Speaker 2: be a routine that ain't work it. Look at this
[26:02] Speaker 2: next verse and Colossians four or five. He says, read
[26:05] Speaker 2: it for me. Be wise and the way you act
[26:07] Speaker 2: toward outsiders. Make the most of every opportunity. Ladies and gentlemen.
[26:13] Speaker 2: When you walk out of this building today and you
[26:16] Speaker 2: meet someone in the low but you just check the save,
[26:18] Speaker 2: it's an opportunity. Because not everything that presents itself to
[26:24] Speaker 2: you is an opportunity. I discovered something about the devil.
[26:29] Speaker 2: Write this down. The Devil's greatest weapon is good things.
[26:37] Speaker 2: But then I say, the devil's greatest weapon against the
[26:43] Speaker 2: kingdom citizen is good things. See the devil, No, you
[26:48] Speaker 2: ain't stupid enough to do bad things, so he won't
[26:52] Speaker 2: tempt you to do bad things. You're too smart for that.
[26:55] Speaker 2: So what he does is he gives you good things
[26:58] Speaker 2: to do that I'm not right for you. Why because
[27:05] Speaker 2: all the devil wants is your time, Because he knows
[27:09] Speaker 2: your time is your life. Have you eh? So Satan
[27:18] Speaker 2: will get you to do a lot of good things.
[27:20] Speaker 2: Preoccupy you. Preoccupation is dangerous. He will get you working
[27:28] Speaker 2: on things that God never told you to do, and
[27:32] Speaker 2: they are all good things. And when you're over, no
[27:35] Speaker 2: one even knew you lived. The secret to protecting your
[27:45] Speaker 2: time is knowing your purpose, because your purpose protects you
[27:51] Speaker 2: from doing good things at the expense of right things.
[27:57] Speaker 2: This is why you can say no in life easily. No.
[28:02] Speaker 2: It's only possible when yes is known. Say Loah, listen
[28:12] Speaker 2: to me this year, beginning this week, I promise you
[28:16] Speaker 2: there'll be a lot of opportunities come in your way.
[28:20] Speaker 2: Some of them are demonically dressed in good stuff. All
[28:26] Speaker 2: kinds of deals will come across your desks, business ideas, options, alternatives, offers,
[28:35] Speaker 2: And you gotta have the spirit of God to desern
[28:40] Speaker 2: because the devil is after your time. You know, sometimes
[28:44] Speaker 2: you think that want to kill you. Don't wanna kill you. You
[28:45] Speaker 2: just wanna kill your time because your time is your life.
[28:55] Speaker 2: Worshiping God is a good thing, isn't it.
[28:59] Speaker 3: Well?
[29:00] Speaker 2: King Saul tried. Then you remember King Saul. King Saul
[29:06] Speaker 2: was told by God to go into a city, take
[29:10] Speaker 2: the city, and kill all the animals in the city.
[29:13] Speaker 2: While they were killing the animals, he ran into some
[29:16] Speaker 2: beautiful sheep. He told the soldiers.
[29:18] Speaker 3: Don't kill those ones.
[29:20] Speaker 2: He says, I wanna use them to worship God with Wow.
[29:25] Speaker 2: Now is that a bad thing? That's a good thing?
[29:28] Speaker 2: And the Bible says he brought the sheep back to
[29:30] Speaker 2: the camp and the prophet Samuel came to visit cause
[29:33] Speaker 2: the Lord told him to go and check what this
[29:35] Speaker 2: man did. He was a king. And the prophet said
[29:39] Speaker 2: to Samuel, did you obey the lord?
[29:41] Speaker 3: Admit the saal? Did you pay the lord?
[29:43] Speaker 2: And sam Saul says, yes, I obeyed the Lord. I
[29:45] Speaker 2: did what the Lord said. And Simon says, then if
[29:48] Speaker 2: you obey the Lord, what is that bleeding?
[29:50] Speaker 3: I hear behind the tent.
[29:54] Speaker 2: And his explanation is your explanation. Very often we tell
[30:02] Speaker 2: God what it's good for him. I'm doing this for
[30:09] Speaker 2: you God, En, Look it ain't what you do for me?
[30:12] Speaker 2: Is what I tell you to do. He took a
[30:18] Speaker 2: good thing and destroyed the right thing. And the prophet says,
[30:24] Speaker 2: because you disobey God, you are no longer king.
[30:31] Speaker 3: And then that's when he made this statement.
[30:32] Speaker 2: You here often, he said, King Saul, don't you know.
[30:38] Speaker 3: It is more important to obey God.
[30:44] Speaker 2: Than to worship God. Wow? Obedience is better than sacrifice.
[30:54] Speaker 3: Everybody say obedience.
[30:56] Speaker 2: Obeying the laws of God is more important than singing
[30:59] Speaker 2: in the choir. Obeying the laws of God is more
[31:04] Speaker 2: important than preaching in the pulpit. God fired many preachers
[31:09] Speaker 2: long time ago. Do you know when I saw I
[31:11] Speaker 2: was fired, he was still were on the ground. Oh yeah,
[31:15] Speaker 2: it wrongs up there God, And know who and who
[31:16] Speaker 2: they are? They fired long time? Why cause they would
[31:21] Speaker 2: rather worship than obey, He says. Look, not every opportunity
[31:32] Speaker 2: is good, So live your life to make sure that
[31:35] Speaker 2: everything you do is an opportunity that's worth your time.
[31:41] Speaker 3: This year, manage your time.
[31:44] Speaker 2: I thought this was interesting. Probably sixteen says what to
[31:47] Speaker 2: man belongs the plans of the heart, But God gives
[31:52] Speaker 2: the answer of the town. This verse tells us that
[31:56] Speaker 2: God doesn't plan your life, you plan it. But then
[32:03] Speaker 2: the chapter this book says, many other plants in a
[32:06] Speaker 2: man's heart, but.
[32:07] Speaker 3: The Lord's purpose will prevail.
[32:09] Speaker 2: So you should make your plans based on.
[32:13] Speaker 3: The purpose of God.
[32:14] Speaker 2: Once you know God's vision and plan for your life,
[32:17] Speaker 2: once you know God's passion for your life. And this
[32:19] Speaker 2: year you're gonna find it again, I promise you. When
[32:21] Speaker 2: you read the book on authority. It's gonna make sense
[32:25] Speaker 2: because there's an area of authority you were born with
[32:29] Speaker 2: that makes you dangerous, and once you find it, you
[32:33] Speaker 2: become free from people. And that position of authority is
[32:39] Speaker 2: what gives you the power to make plans. I like
[32:43] Speaker 2: this worse many other plans in a man's heart, but
[32:47] Speaker 2: it is the lord's answer of the tongue that brings
[32:51] Speaker 2: it to past. Now this this statement answer the answer
[32:53] Speaker 2: of the tongue, or reply the tongue, It means explanation.
[32:58] Speaker 2: Let me explain that. God says, Look, I will give
[33:01] Speaker 2: you some dreams and ideas. They're gonna be very massive.
[33:05] Speaker 2: I want you to write them down. I didn't ask
[33:09] Speaker 2: you to pay for them. I ask you to write
[33:12] Speaker 2: them down. To man belongs the plans. God doesn't write
[33:16] Speaker 2: your life's plan for you. You have to write it.
[33:19] Speaker 2: He gives you the desires, he gives you the passions.
[33:22] Speaker 2: He gave you the dreams and the vision. You write
[33:25] Speaker 2: the plan down, he says, and then I will reply
[33:28] Speaker 2: re reply on how it's gonna be paid for. The
[33:32] Speaker 2: reason why we don't pursue vision and plans is because
[33:35] Speaker 2: we think we can also find the money first, or
[33:39] Speaker 2: we gotta find the people, or we gotta find the equipment.
[33:41] Speaker 2: God said, no, no, no, it doesn't work that way.
[33:44] Speaker 2: You take my dream, my assignment, my authority in your life,
[33:48] Speaker 2: and you put it on paper. You put it on
[33:50] Speaker 2: a plan, he says, and I will explain how it's
[33:53] Speaker 2: going to be done. Stop being afraid to write your dream.
[34:03] Speaker 2: Look at the next verse in the same chapter, probably
[34:05] Speaker 2: sixteen three, it says, commit your way to the Lord,
[34:08] Speaker 2: and whatever you do shall succeed.
[34:12] Speaker 3: All your plans will succeed.
[34:14] Speaker 2: First, you get the plans from God's purpose, you put
[34:16] Speaker 2: them on paper.
[34:17] Speaker 3: God it don't worry but how it's gonna be paid.
[34:19] Speaker 2: And then he.
[34:19] Speaker 3: Says, I'll make sure they succeed.
[34:23] Speaker 2: He didn't tell you how long, eh, but.
[34:26] Speaker 3: He guarantees you a result.
[34:32] Speaker 2: The Lord says he works on everything for his own ends.
[34:40] Speaker 3: God works, so how many things.
[34:45] Speaker 2: Some of you vent through some difficult moments in twenty
[34:47] Speaker 2: and ten because okay, no problem, I'm gonna use that.
[34:52] Speaker 2: I'm gonna use that for something. Everybody experience, every good experience, whatever,
[34:56] Speaker 2: I'm gonna work it out for your end in the end.
[35:01] Speaker 3: So you forget it and he'll fix it.
[35:04] Speaker 2: He is going to take everything that you thought was
[35:06] Speaker 2: a big mistake.
[35:08] Speaker 3: He could turn it into a big miracle.
[35:10] Speaker 2: Yeah, the job you had for twenty years you lost
[35:20] Speaker 2: the last year.
[35:21] Speaker 3: God han'd no problem.
[35:23] Speaker 2: I'm gonna work this out for your for my own end,
[35:26] Speaker 2: he says, my own end, his end. He has a
[35:29] Speaker 2: plan out a person for your life. And all the
[35:32] Speaker 2: stuff that you go through, he takes it and he
[35:33] Speaker 2: puts it into his plan. He said, I'm gonna work
[35:35] Speaker 2: this in. I'm gonna use this as an asset. How
[35:40] Speaker 2: can you use How can God use a deficit as
[35:42] Speaker 2: an asset? Only God can turn a wonder into a wonderful.
[35:49] Speaker 2: He is gonna use what you lost to be the
[35:52] Speaker 2: source of gain. M I'm talking to somebody here.
[35:59] Speaker 3: All that you.
[35:59] Speaker 2: Thought, what you tried so hard, and you still lost everything.
[36:04] Speaker 3: God said, no, I'm gonna work this.
[36:05] Speaker 2: Look at that worse. I'm gonna work everything for my end.
[36:13] Speaker 2: His vision for your life cannot be stopped. Last person,
[36:19] Speaker 2: I want you to read from Proverbs.
[36:21] Speaker 6: Look at verse nine, same chapter, read aloud for me
[36:25] Speaker 6: in his heart. A man makes the plans of his cause,
[36:29] Speaker 6: but the Lord determines the.
[36:32] Speaker 3: Steps of that plan.
[36:36] Speaker 2: Now steps are under God's control.
[36:41] Speaker 3: Joseph saw his plan to sit.
[36:43] Speaker 2: On the throne as a king, but he never had
[36:47] Speaker 2: an idea but the steps. Now, let me tell you
[36:49] Speaker 2: something I figured out for God long time ago. So
[36:52] Speaker 2: I don't work, but there is nothing in my life.
[36:54] Speaker 2: God would always show your destiny. He will show you
[36:58] Speaker 2: your purpose. He will show you your He will never
[37:01] Speaker 2: show you the plan. I'm gonna say it again. God
[37:07] Speaker 2: will show you your vision. He'll show your destiny. He
[37:10] Speaker 2: will show you your end. He'll show you all the
[37:12] Speaker 2: great future you have. He'll let you see details. Wow.
[37:15] Speaker 2: He'll never show you how to get there. Here's why.
[37:20] Speaker 2: Because the purpose is the end, but the plan is
[37:26] Speaker 2: the process. And God will not show you the process
[37:31] Speaker 2: and the plan because if you know the process in plan,
[37:34] Speaker 2: you won't want the purpose anymore. You know what I mean.
[37:41] Speaker 2: In other words, if Joseph had seen Okay, I'm going
[37:44] Speaker 2: to throw in praise the Lord.
[37:45] Speaker 3: First, you gotta get your.
[37:46] Speaker 2: Tall clothes torn off.
[37:48] Speaker 3: Your brothers will cuss you.
[37:49] Speaker 2: They put you in a pit. You become a slave,
[37:52] Speaker 2: They put you in jail. The woman lie on you.
[37:54] Speaker 2: Then you get to the trunk. Because Joe said listen,
[37:56] Speaker 2: you can keep that. Forget that. I'm gonna stay. I'm
[37:59] Speaker 2: gonna be a shepherd right here in the bush. The
[38:05] Speaker 2: steps He controls the steps. Could you imagine that being
[38:10] Speaker 2: in a pit was a step? What am I doing
[38:15] Speaker 2: now here in the dumb job? Because that's a step,
[38:18] Speaker 2: just a step, not in the end. You you saw
[38:21] Speaker 2: the end, so this can be the end because you
[38:23] Speaker 2: already saw the vision. So where you are gotta be
[38:25] Speaker 2: just a step. So you don't panic if you are
[38:33] Speaker 2: in a step. Matter of fact, I want you to
[38:36] Speaker 2: go to work on Tuesday and tell everybody I'm stepping
[38:41] Speaker 2: in here. They sas what you're doing here? Just a step? Chat.
[38:52] Speaker 3: Someone need to hear that.
[38:53] Speaker 2: Right now.
[38:56] Speaker 3: Some of you lost your business, had to go back
[38:58] Speaker 3: to a job.
[38:59] Speaker 2: God says, Look, that's all this is in the plant.
[39:01] Speaker 2: I work it, all this in for it. My goodness said,
[39:04] Speaker 2: not of yours, and the step is mine. Right. You
[39:14] Speaker 2: don't panic if you know your purpose, purpose gives you patience,
[39:21] Speaker 2: write it down.
[39:22] Speaker 7: If you know what you see is not what you saw,
[39:26] Speaker 7: then what you see is temporary.
[39:36] Speaker 2: What did you see ultimately? What did you dream of
[39:39] Speaker 2: ultimately doing? See?
[39:41] Speaker 3: That's you keep that in your mind.
[39:44] Speaker 2: You know how many years it took Joseph to get
[39:46] Speaker 2: to that place. I always imagine, i'm'a right, I'm gonna
[39:50] Speaker 2: do a movie one time with Joseph. I saw this
[39:52] Speaker 2: movie in my mind. I saw a Joseph man, clothes
[39:55] Speaker 2: torn off, Joe standing in the pit and had to
[40:00] Speaker 2: pee in the pit. He had to urinate in the pit.
[40:04] Speaker 3: He had to pass his refuse.
[40:06] Speaker 2: In the pit. This guy came with the pit stink
[40:09] Speaker 2: while he's stuck in the pit. When he came out,
[40:13] Speaker 2: here was smelly, he was ugly, he was messed up.
[40:18] Speaker 2: And then they tied him to a camel in the desert,
[40:22] Speaker 2: and they took him all the way through the Sannai desert,
[40:26] Speaker 2: stiggering under the heat of the Arabian sun, scorched lips,
[40:33] Speaker 2: patched here, sun, belching and burning his feet. And every
[40:38] Speaker 2: time the camera drop a load, he gotta walk in it.
[40:41] Speaker 2: Oh but you see that was just a step on
[40:44] Speaker 2: his way to a throne. Anybody following a camera this morning,
[40:55] Speaker 2: repeat out to me, don't worry about the camera, keep
[40:58] Speaker 2: on drunking. Give God a hand. He knows where you're going.
[41:07] Speaker 2: The Lord determines the steps.
[41:12] Speaker 3: Now you got the plan.
[41:12] Speaker 2: Clap you.
[41:13] Speaker 3: You know the plan, he said.
[41:14] Speaker 2: But the Lord determines the steps.
[41:16] Speaker 3: Where are you at right now? You know the step
[41:18] Speaker 3: you is?
[41:20] Speaker 2: You know I remember ringom my captain.
[41:22] Speaker 3: Doc.
[41:23] Speaker 2: Doctor's at the airport now. Uh, doctor told me, he said,
[41:25] Speaker 2: Pastor Miles, we've arrived at the destination. Pastor, he said,
[41:29] Speaker 2: but they put us in a holding patent. Mm. Everybody say,
[41:34] Speaker 2: I'm arrived, but I'm on the holding pattern. Sometime when
[41:38] Speaker 2: the God, why m I just stuck up here? Nothing's
[41:40] Speaker 2: time to God said, I got a hold in patent?
[41:42] Speaker 2: Why I trying to class some things on the ground.
[41:48] Speaker 2: Oh hallelujah, there's some things God's fixing before you line.
[41:57] Speaker 3: Wait on the Lord be of good courage.
[42:01] Speaker 2: And again I say, just hold the pattern, Just hold
[42:06] Speaker 2: the pattern, Just hold the pattern. Why are you working here?
[42:09] Speaker 2: I just holding the pattern? Baby, Just hold the pattern.
[42:11] Speaker 2: Why do you come back here? I just hold in
[42:13] Speaker 2: the pattern, holding the pattern. Some you be waiting for
[42:17] Speaker 2: a long time for a breakthrough. I believe this meeting today,
[42:20] Speaker 2: the first Sunday is the day the miracle arrives. Lift
[42:23] Speaker 2: your hands right now by faith and say Lord, today
[42:26] Speaker 2: it arrives. I receive it. Kat rendezvou Sakratuba. Everybody said
[42:34] Speaker 2: landing time. You know, listen, I've reund time to land.
[42:38] Speaker 2: No one can stop you from London. The tower is
[42:41] Speaker 2: in control.
[42:42] Speaker 3: How about a shout out by myself, hi arabo.
[42:45] Speaker 2: Sat rakta, It's landing time for some of you. January
[42:51] Speaker 2: gonna be.
[42:52] Speaker 3: Such a beautiful change. You're gonna say, Wow, I'm finally
[42:56] Speaker 3: on the ground. No more resistance.
[43:01] Speaker 2: He determines the steps, he knows where you are.
[43:09] Speaker 3: He know you are in the pit.
[43:11] Speaker 2: Matter of fact, the pit was blinded. My wife and
[43:17] Speaker 2: I went to Egypt. I'll never forget the guy told us.
[43:19] Speaker 2: In Egypt, he says, doctor Monroe. See not there, that's
[43:22] Speaker 2: the that's the Sanny Eye desert. As far as I
[43:25] Speaker 2: could see, was signed and mountains, nothing, no green, no trees.
[43:29] Speaker 3: He said, that's where they had to walk to get
[43:32] Speaker 3: to Israel.
[43:34] Speaker 2: He said, the same part Joseph took to come to Egypt.
[43:38] Speaker 2: We were in Egypt. He said, there's no water out there.
[43:43] Speaker 2: But the only water they can get her there is
[43:45] Speaker 2: when the rain falls up far north in the mountains.
[43:49] Speaker 2: It runs down the mountains and it the pears in
[43:51] Speaker 2: the desert or of nowhere, and it's only therefore it
[43:55] Speaker 2: but two hours. Say you gotta catch it cause it
[43:59] Speaker 2: dries up. So what they did they would dig big
[44:02] Speaker 2: holes in the desert, big massive holes in the desert
[44:04] Speaker 2: right where the stream would come from the mountain. And
[44:08] Speaker 2: when the mountain dropped the water down, they would come
[44:11] Speaker 2: into the desert and they would fill the hole. They'll
[44:13] Speaker 2: cover it up. And they heard water in the desert.
[44:16] Speaker 3: That's what God member, and he says, I will give.
[44:18] Speaker 2: You springs in the desert. That means there's some rain somewhere. Oh,
[44:25] Speaker 2: excuse me, I just felt something. Oh shall clumbdaubud on
[44:30] Speaker 2: my seat? Ted. The Lord just spoke to me just now.
[44:33] Speaker 2: He said, you know your praise brings. The clouds.
[44:41] Speaker 3: Just fell a revelation, so why do you praise them?
[44:44] Speaker 2: One morning I said, okay, you can eat collecting the clouds,
[44:47] Speaker 2: he said, And the clouds will drift to the mount
[44:49] Speaker 2: of the Lord. And by April, all of a sudden,
[44:53] Speaker 2: you're gonna see some water in your life up here.
[44:56] Speaker 2: But it was your praise that's coming back in the
[44:58] Speaker 2: form of a blessing. Come on, somebody, give God a
[45:01] Speaker 2: glorified price. He's gonna bring it back, Oh, Lord of Mercy.
[45:08] Speaker 2: That's why he says, bless me in the prison, why
[45:11] Speaker 2: he collecting clouds. And so they said that these holes
[45:21] Speaker 2: were always right where the big roads came between Egypt
[45:26] Speaker 2: and Syria.
[45:28] Speaker 3: You know, Israel is right on the way, he said.
[45:31] Speaker 2: When they placed Joseph in the pit, his brothers didn't
[45:35] Speaker 2: realize that the pit they put him in was on
[45:39] Speaker 2: the highway to Egypt, and caravans were coming back and
[45:45] Speaker 2: forth taking trading material back and forth from Syria all
[45:50] Speaker 2: the way down to Africa and Egypt, and they just
[45:52] Speaker 2: so happened to put Joseph in a specific pit where
[45:57] Speaker 2: the caravans go to exipt. So even the pit was
[46:04] Speaker 2: a purpose fire pit because there was someone on the
[46:08] Speaker 2: way to pick him up to take him to his destiny.
[46:11] Speaker 2: Can I suggest to you that the pit you think
[46:14] Speaker 2: you are in is a holding pattern because someone is
[46:17] Speaker 2: on the way coming to pick you up.
[46:19] Speaker 3: To take you to your next step.
[46:21] Speaker 2: That's why God says, be patient, wait on the Lord,
[46:25] Speaker 2: and he will renew your strength.
[46:29] Speaker 3: And then he says you will rise like an eagle.
[46:33] Speaker 2: I feel God talking to somebody, some of you right
[46:35] Speaker 2: now to you frustrated. You said, I'm going into two
[46:38] Speaker 2: eleven with the same problem. God said, no, no, no,
[46:41] Speaker 2: the pit period is over.
[46:46] Speaker 3: Here's the faiths.
[46:47] Speaker 2: I receive it right now. You gotta gravel for yourself.
[46:50] Speaker 2: You gotta grove for yourself. See, I receive it right now.
[46:53] Speaker 2: My pit period is over. Someone can show up in
[47:00] Speaker 2: your life in two weeks and change the rest of
[47:04] Speaker 2: your life forever. I believe it.
[47:10] Speaker 3: I believe it for myself.
[47:11] Speaker 2: Lord, where's the next appointment? Let the caravan come and
[47:15] Speaker 2: get me, take me to my next level. God always
[47:22] Speaker 2: hides your future in people. He brings people to take
[47:28] Speaker 2: you to the next step. Never panic in a pit,
[47:33] Speaker 2: because he works out every step. Trust him, the Lord,
[47:41] Speaker 2: say it.
[47:43] Speaker 3: Trust means you will trust him in the pit.
[47:48] Speaker 2: You don't know how how i'm'a gell with you. I
[47:50] Speaker 2: believe you. Let me take you what gives you pigures
[47:52] Speaker 2: in the pit? Purpose? See once you've seen, yeah, the end,
[47:59] Speaker 2: then only the end is permanent. See love, What did
[48:09] Speaker 2: I say when you've seen the end?
[48:13] Speaker 3: So the question what did you see about your business?
[48:16] Speaker 2: What did you see yourself being at the end? Owning, controlling?
[48:20] Speaker 2: That's the end. Everything else can't last.
[48:28] Speaker 3: Give God a big thank you right there.
[48:29] Speaker 2: It can't last. Oh, I feel of faith rising in.
[48:36] Speaker 3: This room this morning.
[48:38] Speaker 2: We need the God of here. Trusting God that our
[48:41] Speaker 2: time and won't be wasted anymore. Let me close with
[48:47] Speaker 2: this psalm, and next week we're gonna talk about how
[48:52] Speaker 2: this works with citizenship.
[48:55] Speaker 3: Read this verse.
[48:55] Speaker 2: You never saw this worst before in your life, Psalm
[48:58] Speaker 2: thirty one or fifteen Reid, My times are in your hands.
[49:03] Speaker 3: Come on, give God the prayer, say hall lujah.
[49:09] Speaker 2: He said, Look, your time is your life, and I
[49:12] Speaker 2: got your time. Let me control your time, and I'll
[49:18] Speaker 2: control your life. He says, my times are in your hands.
[49:24] Speaker 2: Next verse is what read. Deliver me from my enemies
[49:28] Speaker 2: and from those who pursue me. To let your face,
[49:31] Speaker 2: your favor shine on your servant, save me from unfailing
[49:36] Speaker 2: love in love, rather, let me not put be put
[49:40] Speaker 2: to shame.
[49:40] Speaker 3: Now, this is the last part is very important.
[49:43] Speaker 2: Wouldn't it be a shame for Joseph to tell all
[49:45] Speaker 2: of his brothers he was gonna be a king and
[49:48] Speaker 2: he died in a pit. Let me tell you what
[49:51] Speaker 2: David is saying. David is saying, look, whatever you saw
[49:57] Speaker 2: is important. To God's reputation. I getting ready to go
[50:03] Speaker 2: now I'll almost scream up by myself. Listen, your purpose
[50:10] Speaker 2: is the part of God's pride. He won't allow you
[50:15] Speaker 2: to fail to mess up his reputation. The Bible says,
[50:19] Speaker 2: he will not put you in a position may you
[50:23] Speaker 2: be ashamed. You make him a shame. So he put
[50:28] Speaker 2: his your times in his hands. He's I'm gonna control this.
[50:33] Speaker 2: Give me your times, give me your time, use your
[50:37] Speaker 2: time for my purpose, and I'll make sure none of
[50:40] Speaker 2: us are embarrassed. You know me. Whatever you told them,
[50:43] Speaker 2: I canna make sure it can becomes the reality.
[50:45] Speaker 3: To protect myself and protect you. Repeat after me, I.
[50:53] Speaker 2: Am on my way to what I saw left a chance,
[50:57] Speaker 2: and give God a big thank you.
[50:58] Speaker 3: Right there, that's where you are.
[51:02] Speaker 2: How about a scream for a couple of seconds right there.
[51:04] Speaker 2: I want you to get this in your spirit. What
[51:10] Speaker 2: you saw as your future is God's past. Oh man,
[51:21] Speaker 2: you ain't got what I'm talking about. What you trying
[51:24] Speaker 2: to start is already finished.
[51:26] Speaker 3: That's the point I'm making.
[51:27] Speaker 2: God already finish you, and now he put you to
[51:30] Speaker 2: begin it, so he ain't concerned about where you're gonna
[51:33] Speaker 2: get there. What he wants is obedience. Obedience to eleven
[51:44] Speaker 2: a year of protecting your time. So walk in that spirit.
[51:49] Speaker 2: Don't let nothing stop you, because here is the greatest
[51:52] Speaker 2: thing to remember. First Corindians chapter six. Read aloud, everything
[51:58] Speaker 2: is permissible for me to do, but not everything is beneficial.
[52:03] Speaker 5: Wow.
[52:05] Speaker 2: Read the next verse. Everything is permissible for me to do,
[52:10] Speaker 2: but not everything can.
[52:11] Speaker 3: Master my life.
[52:14] Speaker 2: Read the next verse. Everything is permissible, but not everything
[52:19] Speaker 2: it's beneficial. Everything's permissible, but not everything is constructive. Think
[52:30] Speaker 2: about what you're reading. The Bible says you've got a
[52:35] Speaker 2: brain on a free will. You can do anything you
[52:38] Speaker 2: want this year, But he says not everything you do
[52:42] Speaker 2: is beneficial to what you were born to do. What's
[52:49] Speaker 2: what's the last word, and that's the sentence construction. Okay,
[52:52] Speaker 2: let me tell you something. Your life is a project.
[53:01] Speaker 2: If you got a build a house, there's certain things
[53:04] Speaker 2: you need. That's certain things you don't need. For example,
[53:07] Speaker 2: you don't need no leaf, No you need now leaves
[53:10] Speaker 2: are good, Yeah, but when you've been in the house,
[53:13] Speaker 2: you don't need leaves.
[53:14] Speaker 7: My point is everything is permissible, but it doesn't add
[53:21] Speaker 7: to your construction.
[53:25] Speaker 2: Don't waste your time on things projects, clubs. Sometimes you
[53:38] Speaker 2: joined clubs. Waste a lot of time.
[53:43] Speaker 3: Time to go to the club.
[53:44] Speaker 2: No, it's got kind a red club, Lions club, the
[53:46] Speaker 2: rotary club, or the club in a golf club, all
[53:48] Speaker 2: these clubs. Listen, check your life.
[53:50] Speaker 3: You can soon be dead man. And however, the folks
[53:55] Speaker 3: in the club already got money.
[53:56] Speaker 2: You ain't got none. You UNDERSTI you may they spend
[54:01] Speaker 2: our time, hours with these people, and they ain't giving
[54:03] Speaker 2: you nothing. They're playing golf. Ain't giving you no money.
[54:05] Speaker 2: You're playing golf, ain't giving you no money. Check your clubs.
[54:13] Speaker 3: I know a touch of the nerve there, but you
[54:15] Speaker 3: all need to check.
[54:16] Speaker 2: Look at the word.
[54:18] Speaker 3: Is this constructive to my life? That's the question.
[54:26] Speaker 2: My time.
[54:28] Speaker 3: Gotta be a part of the project of building my life.
[54:34] Speaker 2: This is the first week. You got a giant now
[54:37] Speaker 2: to fix it. Lay some things out, put some boundaries
[54:42] Speaker 2: in your life, lay some criteria. This.
[54:45] Speaker 3: I will not do this and do that.
[54:47] Speaker 2: This is what I'm gonna check for because I ain't
[54:49] Speaker 2: got time to waste time. I got a building to build,
[54:53] Speaker 2: I got a life to construct. I have a vision
[54:55] Speaker 2: to complete. I got something to do with my life,
[54:59] Speaker 2: anybody got out in Jesus name construction. So that's why
[55:10] Speaker 2: we're gonna focus on citizenship authority. Our theme this year
[55:18] Speaker 2: is a simple one. I want to rediscover God's authority
[55:24] Speaker 2: in my life that I'm supposed to fulfill. That's a citizen.
[55:29] Speaker 2: Are you ready?
[55:30] Speaker 3: Do you feel ready this morning? Do you feel something
[55:34] Speaker 3: coming off you?
[55:35] Speaker 2: All right? I want to stand up on your feet.
[55:36] Speaker 3: Everybody, we getting ready to go to Freeport.
[55:41] Speaker 2: To continue this discermon. Tell your neighbor, I hope you
[55:45] Speaker 2: are not an anchor in my life. I don't want
[55:49] Speaker 2: no dad wait in my life. Tell your neighbor, I
[55:52] Speaker 2: want you to be a wind under my wings. And
[55:56] Speaker 2: I hear an amen. If the Lord spoke to you
[56:00] Speaker 2: this morning, and you know he heard his voice in
