## 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 adjust our crowns.
[0:40] Speaker 2: I probably feel this more than anyone else in this
[0:43] Speaker 2: church because I am the father of this ministry, and
[0:51] Speaker 2: I I'm quite aware that the Kingdom of God is
[0:55] Speaker 2: not a religion. It's a community, and when one thing
[1:00] Speaker 2: happens in the community, it affects the whole community. And
[1:05] Speaker 2: so the Bible says when one of us rejoice, then
[1:09] Speaker 2: everybody could rejoice with that person. But it also says
[1:14] Speaker 2: that one of us mourns, then everybody mourns with that person.
[1:20] Speaker 2: And so the whole principle there is nothing in the
[1:24] Speaker 2: community of the Kingdom of God is isolated, and so
[1:28] Speaker 2: we feel the pain of those who are affected by
[1:34] Speaker 2: the recent tragedies that took place. I extended my condolences
[1:39] Speaker 2: to the families already. I also did it in writing
[1:44] Speaker 2: to the families, and I want to thank Pastor Richard
[1:49] Speaker 2: for his leadership during this past week and the team
[1:54] Speaker 2: of our leaders and pastors who have done so well
[1:58] Speaker 2: in navigating these moments of shark and trauma. And I
[2:06] Speaker 2: believe that Past Richard deserves a big hand for his leadership.
[2:10] Speaker 2: Thank you, Pastor Richard. I had to continue to minister
[2:19] Speaker 2: to thousands of people through all of that. So if
[2:23] Speaker 2: you think that things are difficult sometimes on your side
[2:26] Speaker 2: of the world, it's when you get to stand before
[2:29] Speaker 2: fifteen thousand people and still deliver. And I can only
[2:34] Speaker 2: do that because I knew we had good, solid leadership
[2:38] Speaker 2: here and never skipped a beat. Thank you Pastor Paton
[2:44] Speaker 2: Farkerson and Pastor Henry and others who who are leading
[2:48] Speaker 2: this great work. I asked the Lord, like you have
[2:54] Speaker 2: some questions as well, and I guess when things happen
[2:59] Speaker 2: in life, you always have questions. And before I get
[3:02] Speaker 2: into the word he gave me, God spoke to me specifically.
[3:05] Speaker 2: That's why I had to leave the country I was
[3:08] Speaker 2: in to get here. He says, go home and deliver
[3:11] Speaker 2: this word to the people today. And so I am
[3:15] Speaker 2: here on instruction from the government, and I've come to
[3:21] Speaker 2: talk to the community first. I want to say everything
[3:25] Speaker 2: is going to be all right. Everything praise God. I
[3:33] Speaker 2: want to hope they got the screens working. Can you
[3:35] Speaker 2: switch me please. I want to speak to you today
[3:41] Speaker 2: on the power of Kingdom Faith. The power of Kingdom Faith.
[3:53] Speaker 2: I want to give you just a brief look for
[3:58] Speaker 2: two three seconds at what I was doing while you
[4:02] Speaker 2: didn't see me, what we were doing this past week.
[4:07] Speaker 2: This is me standing next to my interpreter in Brazil.
[4:13] Speaker 2: We were in Brazil speaking as you can see, to
[4:18] Speaker 2: a massive crowd and they came seeking the message of
[4:27] Speaker 2: the Kingdom of God. They flew me from London all
[4:31] Speaker 2: the way to Brazil because they wanted to hear what
[4:36] Speaker 2: you hear every week. They want to hear it once
[4:41] Speaker 2: and they packed that massive stadium and we saw the
[4:46] Speaker 2: response of people coming by the thousands. And while the
[4:50] Speaker 2: devil was active here, God was busy there. God gets
[4:55] Speaker 2: the glory no matter what happens. Can I hear an
[4:58] Speaker 2: amen as people come to receive salvation? And so I
[5:04] Speaker 2: want to thank you for standing firm in Jesus name.
[5:12] Speaker 2: Please write this down on top of your page and
[5:14] Speaker 2: can turn the lights up. Please, Kingdom Faith, say that
[5:18] Speaker 2: with me. Say this loud. This would probably be one
[5:22] Speaker 2: of the defining moments in your life as a Kingdom citizen.
[5:29] Speaker 2: This morning, I want to talk about keys to building
[5:35] Speaker 2: a stable faith, Keys to building what a stable faith.
[5:45] Speaker 2: I'd like to begin this morning with the questions that
[5:50] Speaker 2: always plague life. I call them the mysteries of life.
[5:54] Speaker 2: These questions that are constantly in the minds of maybe
[6:00] Speaker 2: six billion people in the world, including the one sitting
[6:02] Speaker 2: in your chair right now. And here's one I think
[6:06] Speaker 2: that you need to write down. There are questions in
[6:09] Speaker 2: life we can never answer. First, you must settle that,
[6:14] Speaker 2: because if you don't come to that conclusion, you will
[6:17] Speaker 2: always be depressed. I decided that over thirty years ago.
[6:26] Speaker 2: So that's why I have no depression. I have no problems,
[6:30] Speaker 2: I have no frustrations in my life because I solve
[6:34] Speaker 2: that issue thirty years ago. There are questions I will
[6:39] Speaker 2: never be able to answer. Number two, there are things
[6:42] Speaker 2: in life we can never explain. Settle that now when
[6:52] Speaker 2: you want an explanation for everything, you will always be depressed.
[7:09] Speaker 2: There are things in life you would never explain. Number three.
[7:15] Speaker 2: Write this down. There are things in life we can
[7:18] Speaker 2: never change. Thirty years ago, I settle that so I
[7:26] Speaker 2: have a good time no matter what happens. You gotta
[7:32] Speaker 2: settle that. Weeping, worrying, wailing don't change some things. Accept
[7:42] Speaker 2: your blood pressure, so settle it in your heart. There's
[7:46] Speaker 2: some things you cannot change. Number four, there are things
[7:53] Speaker 2: in life you cannot control. Settle it. If this man
[7:59] Speaker 2: wants to leave you, you can put a gown of
[8:03] Speaker 2: oil on his pillar on praying tongs a million days.
[8:10] Speaker 2: If he wants to leave you, I says, will you
[8:12] Speaker 2: can't control it. Settle in some things in life. This
[8:26] Speaker 2: woman want to take drugs. She's your sister, your lover,
[8:33] Speaker 2: but you can't control how. Going back to the base house,
[8:39] Speaker 2: there's some things you can't control. You gotta settle it.
[8:44] Speaker 2: Question number five, there are things in life we cannot stop.
[8:50] Speaker 2: You know. I came to that conclusion thirty years ago.
[8:52] Speaker 2: There's some things you cannot stop. So what you do
[8:55] Speaker 2: is you make arrangement for it to pass you. Let
[8:59] Speaker 2: me say that again. There's some things you cannot stop,
[9:02] Speaker 2: So you make your arrangement for it to pass you.
[9:07] Speaker 2: Because if you can't stop it and you get in
[9:09] Speaker 2: front of it, it will still go where it's going.
[9:16] Speaker 2: But you'll be destroyed. Number six, there are things in
[9:27] Speaker 2: life we are not responsible for. Say it and write
[9:32] Speaker 2: it down. You sent your child to college, you paid
[9:38] Speaker 2: the tuition, you tried your best, and they still came
[9:42] Speaker 2: out and did some dumb things. You could not be
[9:46] Speaker 2: responded for that child's decisions. Settle it, I say to you.
[10:00] Speaker 2: Number seven, there are things in life we cannot exceed.
[10:07] Speaker 2: And this is an important one because sometimes we think
[10:10] Speaker 2: that we are all of that. One of my favorite
[10:16] Speaker 2: statements in life that have kept me at peace is
[10:18] Speaker 2: this one. I don't know. Say it. Say it again.
[10:28] Speaker 2: That's the most powerful statement you can make in life.
[10:34] Speaker 2: There are some things that exceed you. It goes beyond me,
[10:46] Speaker 2: and it keeps me peaceful. So how do you face
[10:49] Speaker 2: life with all these questions? Here's a thought. The key
[10:54] Speaker 2: it to life is a couple of things. Number one,
[10:56] Speaker 2: knowing what is your limitation. You got to know your limitation.
[11:02] Speaker 2: If you believe that you are more than you are,
[11:06] Speaker 2: then the Bible says you are not wise. You got
[11:10] Speaker 2: to know where the line is drawn. When you got
[11:13] Speaker 2: to stop, when you can't go no further, when you
[11:16] Speaker 2: can't get beyond something. You gotta know your limitations, and
[11:20] Speaker 2: my limitations keep me peaceful. Success in life, write this
[11:30] Speaker 2: down is when you know what you are responsible for.
[11:37] Speaker 2: You know some things that you are responsible for, for example,
[11:41] Speaker 2: your own decisions. You cannot blame anyone for something you decided.
[11:52] Speaker 2: You have to know your responsibility. But number three is important.
[11:58] Speaker 2: You also got to know what is your responsibility and
[12:01] Speaker 2: what is not your responsibility. There are some things I
[12:07] Speaker 2: discovered that even God doesn't take responsibility for, like controlling
[12:18] Speaker 2: your will. God died on the cross for you, gave
[12:26] Speaker 2: his life for us, shed his blood for our redemption,
[12:29] Speaker 2: went to Hell on our behalf, took the keys of
[12:33] Speaker 2: death Hell and the grave came back out of the
[12:35] Speaker 2: tomb rose again. And he still cannot save us without
[12:39] Speaker 2: our permission. He knows his limitation, it is self imposed.
[12:45] Speaker 2: He knows what he won't cross. He will never violate
[12:48] Speaker 2: your will. So we got to know what we are
[12:54] Speaker 2: not responsible for. And this one is next one is
[12:57] Speaker 2: very important. You gotta know what you cannot do. Listen,
[13:01] Speaker 2: Sometime your children do dumb things. You shouldn't walk around
[13:04] Speaker 2: for forty years feeling guilty, her dad, they're old enough now.
[13:10] Speaker 2: I remember when my younger brother, who is now a preacher,
[13:12] Speaker 2: he's a dame minister. I remember he got involved in
[13:16] Speaker 2: a little bit of negative company and got involved in
[13:19] Speaker 2: a little experiment with drugs. And he's the only one
[13:22] Speaker 2: in the family that got involved in that. And he's
[13:24] Speaker 2: the only one who went to a Christian school, all
[13:26] Speaker 2: expense paid. All of us went to government school. Mama died,
[13:34] Speaker 2: didn't pay nothing for us. They paid for this one.
[13:37] Speaker 2: And he got in drugs. And I remember one day
[13:40] Speaker 2: the police called the house and I heard my mother say,
[13:43] Speaker 2: taking to jail. Actually hung the phone up. I said,
[13:45] Speaker 2: I love this mother. Why he's an adult? She says,
[13:51] Speaker 2: do you know he's out of jail now and he's
[13:53] Speaker 2: a preacher. Sometime you gotta go to jail to get
[13:56] Speaker 2: your annointing. Some of them parents say, don't sign him.
[14:01] Speaker 2: Mama say send him. He old enough to make his
[14:04] Speaker 2: own decisions. You gotta know what you cannot do. You
[14:08] Speaker 2: cannot make people do things. Write this down, plasse and
[14:18] Speaker 2: this is what I have come to. Saved my life
[14:23] Speaker 2: thirty years ago. Everybody say, let God be God. Say
[14:27] Speaker 2: it loud, say it louder, say God loud. Let God
[14:34] Speaker 2: be God. Do you know what the greatest temptation in
[14:36] Speaker 2: human is life is to attempted to be God. We
[14:42] Speaker 2: have with the greatest temptation to be God. Now we
[14:44] Speaker 2: are Gods, but we ain't God. Let me tell you
[14:51] Speaker 2: what I mean by that. There are things only God
[14:57] Speaker 2: can do. Write that down. This message comes right from
[15:03] Speaker 2: God to you today. There's some things only God can do.
[15:06] Speaker 2: Settle that number two, there are things only God knows.
[15:15] Speaker 2: Facity to contain God's vast knowledge is impossible. So God
[15:24] Speaker 2: gives us sentences, and he has a library, and his
[15:30] Speaker 2: sentence can last your lifetime. I put this to you
[15:36] Speaker 2: that what God is after is strong faith. Now I'm
[15:41] Speaker 2: gonna drive this home today and God's gonna heal your mind.
[15:49] Speaker 2: Everybody says strong faith. Write this down. Please. Your faith
[15:53] Speaker 2: is only as strong as the tests it survived. Listen
[16:02] Speaker 2: to me. I am the shepherd of this flock. Y'all
[16:05] Speaker 2: listen to me. Don't read no newspaper, don't listen to nobody.
[16:11] Speaker 2: God sent me to talk to you. Your faith is
[16:14] Speaker 2: only a strong as to test it survives. That's what
[16:19] Speaker 2: he told me to tell you. It's amazing. So how
[16:30] Speaker 2: strong are you? You are only a stronger, but you
[16:33] Speaker 2: can lift come Branda. Yeah. In other words, for you
[16:44] Speaker 2: to know your strength, you gotta find something to test it.
[16:53] Speaker 2: So you can never bribe on your strength unless you
[17:00] Speaker 2: test it. So many of you are walking around for
[17:11] Speaker 2: years singing hallelujah, dancing up here, shouting, testifying, coming up
[17:19] Speaker 2: in the microphone, telling how good God is. And then
[17:21] Speaker 2: God said, let me see how strong they are. The
[17:25] Speaker 2: Lord is good. I said, yeah, let me test that
[17:28] Speaker 2: scripture in your life, God says, my God, shous applot.
[17:31] Speaker 2: And then God takes everything from you to see if
[17:33] Speaker 2: you believe he supplies. He tests to see if you
[17:37] Speaker 2: think you're strong. How strong are you? Well? The only
[17:49] Speaker 2: as strong as the test you survive. That's why God
[17:55] Speaker 2: sent me to your life today, because you got to understand,
[17:59] Speaker 2: first of all, what is your motive for following God?
[18:05] Speaker 2: Write that down, please, This is the heart of life.
[18:09] Speaker 2: What is your motive for calling Jesus your lord and
[18:14] Speaker 2: entering the kingdom? Why did you come into the Kingdom
[18:16] Speaker 2: of God? What motivated you? Because your motivation will be
[18:23] Speaker 2: testined John chapter six. I thought it was important to
[18:31] Speaker 2: share something with you, it says in verse twenty four
[18:36] Speaker 2: of John six. When the people therefore saw that Jesus
[18:40] Speaker 2: was not there, neither his disciples. They also took shipping
[18:46] Speaker 2: and came to Copernium seeking Jesus. Ey, what is say
[18:49] Speaker 2: seeking Jesus? You know everybody wants to look for Jesus.
[18:53] Speaker 2: They say, he can help you. He can pay bills,
[18:57] Speaker 2: he can pay your mortgage off, he can heal your
[19:00] Speaker 2: he can cast the demons out of your life. He
[19:02] Speaker 2: can help your children, he can save your marriage. He can.
[19:05] Speaker 2: And so we go looking for him, even if it
[19:08] Speaker 2: takes a ship. They were looking for Jesus. Watch this,
[19:13] Speaker 2: he said in Verde twenty five. And when they had
[19:16] Speaker 2: found him, Hey, boys, they I found him. So if
[19:19] Speaker 2: you're born again, that means you found him. When they
[19:21] Speaker 2: had found him on the other side of the sea,
[19:25] Speaker 2: they said, unto him, Rabbi, where did you come from?
[19:29] Speaker 2: In other words, we were looking for you. We found you. Finally,
[19:36] Speaker 2: Jesus answered, you seek me not because you saw the miracles,
[19:44] Speaker 2: but because you did eat fish and bread. Wow, crowds
[19:58] Speaker 2: looking for Jesus, massive ministry, big church, everybody looking for Jesus.
[20:04] Speaker 2: She said, I know why you are coming. You ain't
[20:09] Speaker 2: looking for me, You're looking for a blessing fish. Bread,
[20:17] Speaker 2: free fish, and free break. See the day before they
[20:21] Speaker 2: had just gotten free will of sandwiches. Oh, don't we
[20:28] Speaker 2: love God to bless us. Just anoint us, Lord, Just
[20:31] Speaker 2: bring everything God, the Lord promise you will bless us.
[20:33] Speaker 2: He will add things to me. Yeah, he said, but
[20:35] Speaker 2: you're looking for me, not for me to add things
[20:38] Speaker 2: to you, because you love me. What if I don't
[20:44] Speaker 2: add today? He said? Look, yes, I know you're looking
[20:52] Speaker 2: for me, but I know why. Your motive is. You
[20:56] Speaker 2: want the good things from me only, and you want
[20:59] Speaker 2: them free. You want a free life in Christ. You
[21:05] Speaker 2: want to be blessed. And then he answers them. He says, look,
[21:10] Speaker 2: work not for the meat which perishes. Don't use your
[21:15] Speaker 2: faith on things that can go away in the morning,
[21:19] Speaker 2: he says, but for meat which endure it how long
[21:23] Speaker 2: unto everlasting life, which the Son of Man shall give
[21:27] Speaker 2: unto you for him, God the Father had sealed. The
[21:33] Speaker 2: only thing that is sealed in life is Christ. You'll
[21:39] Speaker 2: better write that down. See this thirty years ago I
[21:42] Speaker 2: figured it out. That's why the vision has made it
[21:45] Speaker 2: through the storm of persecution. When they called me a
[21:50] Speaker 2: cult in nineteen eighty and BFM started, I knew it
[21:53] Speaker 2: was too late, had already seen the sealed one when
[21:58] Speaker 2: they told me I was chiefing the money, and they
[22:02] Speaker 2: wrote in the papers front page on me negative. I
[22:05] Speaker 2: was in the in the sideburns twice a week, but
[22:10] Speaker 2: I had to keep believing God. You ain't being tested yet,
[22:17] Speaker 2: he says. Look, I'm the only one that is sealed.
[22:22] Speaker 2: God is saying the rent I paid for you ain't sealed.
[22:26] Speaker 2: So don't put your faith in the fact that I
[22:27] Speaker 2: gave you the rent payment. Sometimes you only follow God
[22:34] Speaker 2: because he blesses us. We don't follow God. We believe
[22:46] Speaker 2: in God because people live. Do you believe in God
[22:48] Speaker 2: because people die? Also? God's kingdom is so strong nothing
[22:59] Speaker 2: can more it. I put it to you watch him
[23:05] Speaker 2: in the book John six twenty eight. Then they said,
[23:09] Speaker 2: unto him, what shall we do? Then that'll be my work,
[23:13] Speaker 2: the works of God. Okay, Jesus, So what should we
[23:17] Speaker 2: do since we shouldn't follow you for bread and for
[23:20] Speaker 2: fish and for what we can get from you, what
[23:25] Speaker 2: should we do? He says, Okay, let me answer you.
[23:27] Speaker 2: Watch this, he said, this is the work of God.
[23:31] Speaker 2: Simple that you believe on him whom he said, don't
[23:37] Speaker 2: believe on the bread, don't believe on the fish, don't
[23:43] Speaker 2: believe on the miracles. Don't put your faith in the
[23:47] Speaker 2: activities of God because he might not act sometime. He says.
[23:55] Speaker 2: The greatest work that you can do is belief. Everybody
[23:59] Speaker 2: say believe. Say it loud the word belief. Write it down.
[24:03] Speaker 2: Belief is the word Jesus use here. P is ti.
[24:09] Speaker 2: Write it down, believe pistess pi s t I s.
[24:15] Speaker 2: It's the exact same word as faith. Write it down faith, belief,
[24:21] Speaker 2: pistols faith, he says. He says, the greatest work you
[24:25] Speaker 2: can do in life is to have faith in the
[24:31] Speaker 2: one God sent, not the things he does. Remember now,
[24:36] Speaker 2: he said, I know why you're following me. Your motive
[24:38] Speaker 2: is what you can get. The longest things are going good,
[24:41] Speaker 2: and I'm giving you fish and bread, then you want
[24:43] Speaker 2: to come follow me, he said, But forget the stuff.
[24:45] Speaker 2: I want you to follow. Unbelieve in me, not the fish,
[24:49] Speaker 2: not the bread. He's shifting our motivation from things to
[24:54] Speaker 2: him because things change. Are you following this? It's very important.
[25:03] Speaker 2: Now he goes on, the closes this thing. I love this,
[25:06] Speaker 2: he says. Our fathers did eat the people talking. Now
[25:09] Speaker 2: our fathers ate manna in the desert. As it's written,
[25:11] Speaker 2: he gave them bread from heaven. Now what are they
[25:13] Speaker 2: talking about? They said, Look, in the past, we had
[25:14] Speaker 2: many miracles. Man, Yes, sir, God save this one. God
[25:19] Speaker 2: healed that one. God redeemed that one. God delivered that
[25:21] Speaker 2: one that wasn't in prison, and God brought that one
[25:23] Speaker 2: of the prison. God did this, Come on Jesus. God
[25:26] Speaker 2: did a lot of things. And they're giving Jesus Christ
[25:29] Speaker 2: a report God on what he did. They were trying
[25:33] Speaker 2: to convince him that the reason why we follow Moses
[25:37] Speaker 2: is because of the miracles. But Jesus answered, Jesus said,
[25:42] Speaker 2: unto them, truly, truly, I say unto you. Moses gave
[25:47] Speaker 2: you not that bread that came down from heaven. Why
[25:50] Speaker 2: because the miracles are temporary. The mortgage payment is temporary.
[25:58] Speaker 2: Do you know God could actually bless you with a
[25:59] Speaker 2: car and then next we take it away because the
[26:05] Speaker 2: car is temporary. Why the car didn't come from heaven,
[26:08] Speaker 2: It came from Ford. And God can provide the bank payment. Oh,
[26:17] Speaker 2: God can test you and see if you can have
[26:20] Speaker 2: peace if you miss the payment. He's God. We don't
[26:25] Speaker 2: know what he's thinking. Christ sais. Therefore you put your
[26:32] Speaker 2: faith not in the things of God, put in the
[26:35] Speaker 2: God of the things. Watch him now, he says, but
[26:45] Speaker 2: my Father giveth you the true bread that came down
[26:49] Speaker 2: from heaven. Now wait a minute. So there's two kinds
[26:53] Speaker 2: of bread here in life. There's bread that's the blessings.
[26:58] Speaker 2: Then there's another bread that came down from heath. Let's
[27:00] Speaker 2: read what that bread is verse thirty four. Then they said,
[27:03] Speaker 2: unto him, Lord, even more, give us this bread. He
[27:07] Speaker 2: answered them, I am the bread. Ladies and gentlemen, are
[27:14] Speaker 2: you following Jesus Christ, or are you following BFM. Is
[27:25] Speaker 2: your faith in Jesus Christ the bread from heaven? Or
[27:29] Speaker 2: is it in the blessings? You get the bread from earth.
[27:34] Speaker 2: Let me tell you something in my friends, I speak
[27:36] Speaker 2: to you as a senior pastor. If anybody should have
[27:40] Speaker 2: quit the ministry is me. You don't know my story.
[27:46] Speaker 2: The secret harassment phone calls let us from past us threats,
[27:53] Speaker 2: and I had to make it through. It's been thirty
[27:56] Speaker 2: nine years and I'm still standing. You've been saved for
[28:03] Speaker 2: ten and you call it tough. Listen, you are only
[28:09] Speaker 2: as strong as what your faith survives. Please don't disappoint
[28:18] Speaker 2: me now. Don't tell me that all my teaching for
[28:22] Speaker 2: fifty years or thirty years or twenty years is gonna
[28:25] Speaker 2: be knocked over by us incident. Where is your faith?
[28:32] Speaker 2: It's in God, the bread that came down from heaven.
[28:36] Speaker 2: Look at he says. He says, he that cometh to
[28:39] Speaker 2: me and eat me shall never hunger. I was thinking
[28:51] Speaker 2: this morning, listen carefully, please. On the way here, on
[28:54] Speaker 2: the aircraft flying in, I was thinking. My mind was racing.
[28:59] Speaker 2: Holy Spirit was just speaking to me so loud, he
[29:01] Speaker 2: said to me, he said, do you know that when
[29:04] Speaker 2: me and the Disciple spent on the ship the little boat?
[29:07] Speaker 2: He said, do you know that I am God? I
[29:12] Speaker 2: can do anything? He said, do you know I could
[29:14] Speaker 2: have prevented the storm? Come on, look at me, Look
[29:19] Speaker 2: at this is very important, he says. He said, I
[29:21] Speaker 2: could have stopped the storm from starting, rather than stopping
[29:24] Speaker 2: it after it started. Either way, I'm God. I can
[29:27] Speaker 2: stop the wind before it blew, or let him blow
[29:29] Speaker 2: and then stop it, he said, doesn't matter. I could
[29:31] Speaker 2: have stopped it, he said, But I set it up.
[29:38] Speaker 2: I set it up because it wasn't about me. It
[29:41] Speaker 2: was about these three guys who I was testing to
[29:44] Speaker 2: trust with the church. I had to trust them to
[29:47] Speaker 2: see if they could handle it a little bit of pressure, right,
[29:51] Speaker 2: And he said, to make sure every boy say believe.
[29:54] Speaker 2: Say it loud the word belief. Write it down. Belief
[29:58] Speaker 2: is the word Jesus use here tis. Write it down.
[30:06] Speaker 2: Believe pistous p I s t. I s. It's the
[30:10] Speaker 2: exact same word as faith. Write it down faith belief
[30:16] Speaker 2: pistols faith, he says. He says, the greatest work you
[30:20] Speaker 2: can do in life is to how faith in the
[30:26] Speaker 2: one God send, not the things he does. Remember now,
[30:31] Speaker 2: he said, I know why you're following me. Your motive
[30:33] Speaker 2: is what you can get. The long as things are
[30:36] Speaker 2: going good, and I'm giving you fish and bread, then
[30:37] Speaker 2: you want to come follow me, he said, But forget
[30:40] Speaker 2: the stuff. I want you to follow. Unbelieve in me,
[30:43] Speaker 2: not the fish, not the bread. He's shifting our motivation
[30:48] Speaker 2: from things to him because things change. Are you following this?
[30:56] Speaker 2: It's very important. Now he goes on, the closes this thing.
[31:00] Speaker 2: I love this, he says. Our fathers did eat the
[31:02] Speaker 2: people talking. Now, our fathers ate manna in the desert.
[31:05] Speaker 2: As it's written. He gave them bread from heaven.
[31:07] Speaker 3: Now was it?
[31:07] Speaker 2: What are they talking about? They said, Look, in the past,
[31:09] Speaker 2: we had many miracles. Man, yes, sir, God save this one.
[31:13] Speaker 2: God healed that one. God redeemed that one. God delivered
[31:16] Speaker 2: that one that wasn't in prison, and God brought that
[31:18] Speaker 2: one out of prison. God did this come on Jesus.
[31:20] Speaker 2: God did a lot of things. And they're giving Jesus
[31:23] Speaker 2: Christ a report God on what he did. They were
[31:27] Speaker 2: trying to convince him that the reason why we follow
[31:31] Speaker 2: Moses is because of the miracles. But Jesus answered, Jesus said,
[31:37] Speaker 2: unto them, truly, truly, I say unto you. Moses gave
[31:42] Speaker 2: you not that bread that came down from heaven. Why
[31:45] Speaker 2: because the miracles are temporary. The mortgage payment is temporary.
[31:52] Speaker 2: Do you know God could actually bless you with a
[31:54] Speaker 2: car and then next we take it away. It's temporary.
[32:01] Speaker 2: Why the car didn't come from heaven, It came from Ford.
[32:08] Speaker 2: And God can provide the bank payment. Oh, God can
[32:13] Speaker 2: test you and see if you can have peace if
[32:15] Speaker 2: you miss the payment. He's God. We don't know what
[32:21] Speaker 2: he's thinking. Christis. Therefore, you put your faith not in
[32:27] Speaker 2: the things of God, put in the God of the things.
[32:38] Speaker 2: Watch him. Now, he says, but my Father giveth you
[32:41] Speaker 2: the true bread that came down from heaven. Now wait
[32:45] Speaker 2: a minute. So there's two kinds of bread here in life.
[32:50] Speaker 2: There's bread that's the blessings. Then there's another bread that
[32:54] Speaker 2: came down from heaven. Let's read what that bread is
[32:56] Speaker 2: verse thirty four. Then they said, unto him Lord even more,
[33:00] Speaker 2: Oh give us this bread. He answered them, I am
[33:06] Speaker 2: the bread. Ladies and gentlemen, are you following Jesus Christ
[33:11] Speaker 2: or are you following BFM. Is your faith in Jesus
[33:22] Speaker 2: Christ the bread from heaven? Or is it in the
[33:24] Speaker 2: blessings you get the bread from earth. Let me tell
[33:30] Speaker 2: you something, my friends, I speak to you as a
[33:31] Speaker 2: senior pastor. If anybody should have quit the ministry is me.
[33:38] Speaker 2: You don't know my story. The secret harassment phone calls
[33:44] Speaker 2: let us from past us threats, and I had to
[33:48] Speaker 2: make it through. It's been thirty nine years and I'm
[33:53] Speaker 2: still standing. You being saved for ten and you call it. Listen,
[34:03] Speaker 2: you are only as strong as what your faith survives.
[34:12] Speaker 2: Please don't disappoint me now. Don't tell me that all
[34:16] Speaker 2: my teaching for fifty years or thirty years or twenty years,
[34:19] Speaker 2: is gonna be knocked over by a incident. Where is
[34:24] Speaker 2: your faith? It's in God. The bread that came down
[34:30] Speaker 2: from heaven. Look and he said, he says, he that
[34:34] Speaker 2: come it to me and eat me shall never hunger.
[34:45] Speaker 2: I was thinking this morning, listen carefully, please. On the
[34:49] Speaker 2: way here, on the aircraft flying in, I was thinking.
[34:52] Speaker 2: My mind was racing. Holy Spirit was just speaking to
[34:54] Speaker 2: me so loud. He said to me, he said, do
[34:56] Speaker 2: you know that when me and the Disciple spent on
[35:00] Speaker 2: the ship the little boat? He said, do you know
[35:04] Speaker 2: that I am God? I can do anything? He said,
[35:08] Speaker 2: do you know I could have prevented the storm? Come on,
[35:13] Speaker 2: look at me. Look this is very important, he says.
[35:16] Speaker 2: He said, I could have stopped the storm from stomping
[35:18] Speaker 2: rather than stopping it after it started. Either way, I'm God.
[35:21] Speaker 2: I could stop the wind before it blew, or let
[35:23] Speaker 2: it blow and then stop it. He said, doesn't matter.
[35:26] Speaker 2: I could have stopped it, he said, But I set
[35:28] Speaker 2: it up. I set it up because it wasn't about me.
[35:35] Speaker 2: It was about these three guys who I was testing
[35:38] Speaker 2: to trust with the church. I had to trust them
[35:42] Speaker 2: to see if they could handle a little bit of pressure,
[35:46] Speaker 2: and he said, to make sure they couldn't look at me.
[35:49] Speaker 2: I went to sleep. Do you feel like God's sleeping
[35:51] Speaker 2: on your right now? I said, you feel like God's
[35:54] Speaker 2: sleeping on the Bear's God. God, I'm in the boat,
[35:56] Speaker 2: but I'm sleeping. I'm still in the boat. But a snort.
[35:59] Speaker 2: I got one eye open and checking how you react
[36:01] Speaker 2: into the storm? Come on, somebody and the viruses. When
[36:05] Speaker 2: they woke him up, he did not stop the storm first.
[36:14] Speaker 2: And that's where we are right now. He has awaken up.
[36:18] Speaker 2: He sent me because he's awake. And the question he
[36:21] Speaker 2: asked him was where is your faith? The storm is
[36:28] Speaker 2: not the problem, he says. Your faith is only a
[36:37] Speaker 2: strong as to the problem it survives. He attacked them,
[36:44] Speaker 2: he said, where's your faith? You can let a storm
[36:49] Speaker 2: take away your peace. And the Prince of Piece is
[36:52] Speaker 2: on board right And they were ashamed. He said, I
[37:02] Speaker 2: really sent this, allowed this storm, not sent, but allowed
[37:08] Speaker 2: it to happen. Just to see your reaction. What kind
[37:13] Speaker 2: you You all tell me you believe in me. You
[37:15] Speaker 2: tell me that you're my disciple. You tell me that
[37:17] Speaker 2: I am your God, I am your messiah, He said, Okay,
[37:20] Speaker 2: let me see if you believe that I really am
[37:22] Speaker 2: the Messiah. I'm gonna go to sleep while there's a
[37:24] Speaker 2: storm going on. You got faith in the storm or
[37:27] Speaker 2: in the Messiah. When the lesson was over, he stopped
[37:35] Speaker 2: the storm. Whatever you're going through right now in your
[37:39] Speaker 2: personal life is allowed by God. Now notice my words.
[37:46] Speaker 2: I didn't say he generated it is allowed. The Bible
[37:50] Speaker 2: says he will not allow you to be tempted beyond
[37:55] Speaker 2: that which you are able to overcome, which means that
[37:58] Speaker 2: the test it's equal to the faith. You should clap
[38:05] Speaker 2: your hands right. That mouths good, But you missed the
[38:07] Speaker 2: whole revelation. If the test is big, that's what he
[38:12] Speaker 2: thinks about you. Let me tell you something. The size
[38:22] Speaker 2: of the tests is God's way of saying I believe
[38:26] Speaker 2: this about you over other people. Glory Hallelujah, I say, hallelujah.
[38:37] Speaker 2: The bigger the test, the bigger the faith he got
[38:40] Speaker 2: in you. He did not stop the storm until their
[38:47] Speaker 2: faith survived it. My friends, he says he didn't believe
[38:55] Speaker 2: it on me shall never thirst the water Moses give you.
[38:59] Speaker 2: It's temporary things you had as temporary, ladies and gentlemen,
[39:02] Speaker 2: We preach that the Kingdom of God will meet your needs.
[39:06] Speaker 2: Absolutely true. And Jesus did it. He paid their mortgages,
[39:10] Speaker 2: he paid their taxes, he caught fish for them. All
[39:13] Speaker 2: that was fine. But they got excited without the fish
[39:15] Speaker 2: and the taxes. And he said, no, no, no, no, no,
[39:18] Speaker 2: forget what I gave you believe in me. You don't
[39:23] Speaker 2: follow God because what you can get your faith kingdom.
[39:31] Speaker 2: Faith is in the king, not in the king's favor.
[39:39] Speaker 2: Kingdom faith is in the king, not the king's gifts. Yes, Lord,
[39:58] Speaker 2: wherein is your faith? Watch this John six fifty three.
[40:03] Speaker 2: I want you to read this now. Please don't be
[40:04] Speaker 2: among these, Okay, it says then Jesus said, unto them.
[40:08] Speaker 2: I say unto you, truly, truly, except you eat the
[40:11] Speaker 2: flesh of the Sun of Man and drink his blood,
[40:14] Speaker 2: you have no life in you. Have anyone ever said
[40:20] Speaker 2: this to you? But if God is so good, why
[40:22] Speaker 2: is this happening to you? See he's answering it, he says. Look,
[40:30] Speaker 2: he says, you're an agypt for God. And again, I
[40:33] Speaker 2: ain't get underdo with what happening to you. I'm gonna
[40:39] Speaker 2: say it again. Your relationship with God has nothing to
[40:43] Speaker 2: do what's happening to you? Could you imagine how Daniel felt.
[40:57] Speaker 2: He's standing before the king in aviagan Ezza and then
[41:00] Speaker 2: beginning to say, you know something, I'm putting the lions
[41:03] Speaker 2: there and let him eat you. And then they started
[41:05] Speaker 2: praying the dongs. He expected an angel to come. No
[41:09] Speaker 2: angel showed up. He expected him to be vanished from
[41:12] Speaker 2: the sight of this court. No vanishing took place. They
[41:16] Speaker 2: put a chain on down diwna figure, Okay, God can
[41:18] Speaker 2: catch me halfway down the hall, he can mold loose
[41:20] Speaker 2: the chain. God didn't show up. Where is my God?
[41:25] Speaker 2: The one I told the king about? And then he
[41:28] Speaker 2: heard the growlings of the lions down there in the den,
[41:30] Speaker 2: and he figured, God going catch me. Just before the
[41:32] Speaker 2: door opens, he goes, snatch me away, wrap you. And
[41:36] Speaker 2: then the door opened. No God, and then he walks inside.
[41:40] Speaker 2: All the lions stopped circling him, and he figured, God
[41:42] Speaker 2: gonna make me vanish, And he doesn't vanish. Where is God? See,
[41:52] Speaker 2: Daniel had to shift his trust from the works of
[41:55] Speaker 2: God to God. If your faith is in God, it
[42:04] Speaker 2: doesn't matter what happens around you. God is stable. Give
[42:09] Speaker 2: God a big clap, Give him praise. He never shifts
[42:13] Speaker 2: and moves. He's the same yesterday. The Bible says, he says,
[42:21] Speaker 2: if you don't eat my flesh, don't eat the bread,
[42:23] Speaker 2: the stuff I give you, eat me. Don't drink the water,
[42:27] Speaker 2: drink me, he says, my blood. He said. If you
[42:29] Speaker 2: do that, then you will have life. You'll give to
[42:32] Speaker 2: live through anything. Let me give you something to think about.
[42:39] Speaker 2: You're gonna go to some more difficult things in the
[42:41] Speaker 2: next few years, so brace yourself. This message is to
[42:45] Speaker 2: prepare you for next month, next year, five years from here.
[42:48] Speaker 2: You gonna remember. Oh Fastba said that the test comes
[42:52] Speaker 2: to test of faith. I'm gonna stand, and after standing,
[42:57] Speaker 2: I will stand. How strong are you? You are as
[43:03] Speaker 2: strong as the what your faith survives. I have no
[43:10] Speaker 2: fear of things getting the best we've ever seen God,
[43:17] Speaker 2: but do some things to show off. But he checking
[43:20] Speaker 2: everybody one time. The Lord told me, he says, Look,
[43:26] Speaker 2: he says that. He says, some people can't even survive success.
[43:35] Speaker 2: Your faith couldn't survive a million dollars. You forget about God.
[43:41] Speaker 2: You go buy a car and boating and you know,
[43:44] Speaker 2: house somewhere and just enjoy yourself, playing card because wait
[43:46] Speaker 2: a minute, you can't have a success and so ef
[43:50] Speaker 2: it draws everything from you. You know what Jesus said,
[43:57] Speaker 2: I quote his words. He says, if you have been
[44:00] Speaker 2: faithful over little first, let me test you with little,
[44:05] Speaker 2: then I'll trust you with more. It depends on where
[44:10] Speaker 2: you can manage the little First. Can you manage a
[44:12] Speaker 2: little stress problem, a little period of luck? Or do
[44:17] Speaker 2: you start saying God ain't working? Do you know many things?
[44:26] Speaker 2: I had to wait ten years for God to do.
[44:31] Speaker 2: The bigger the test, the bigger the faith he got
[44:33] Speaker 2: in you. He did not stop the storm until their
[44:41] Speaker 2: faith survived it. My friends, he says, he'd a believe
[44:49] Speaker 2: in on me, shall never thirst the water Moses give you.
[44:52] Speaker 2: It's temporary. The blessings you had is temporary. Ladies and gentlemen,
[44:56] Speaker 2: we preach that the Kingdom of God will meet your needs.
[45:00] Speaker 2: Absolutely true. And Jesus did it. He paid their mortgages,
[45:04] Speaker 2: he paid their taxes, He caught fish for them. All
[45:06] Speaker 2: that was fine. But they got excited about the fish
[45:09] Speaker 2: and the taxes. And he said, no, no, no, no, no,
[45:11] Speaker 2: forget what I gave you believe in me. You don't
[45:17] Speaker 2: follow God because what you can get your faith. Kingdom
[45:25] Speaker 2: faith is in the king, not in the king's favor.
[45:32] Speaker 2: Kingdom faith is in the king, not the king's gifts. Yes, Lord,
[45:51] Speaker 2: wherein is your faith? Watch this John six fifty three.
[45:56] Speaker 2: I want you to read this now. Please don't be
[45:58] Speaker 2: among these, Okay, it said then Jesus said unto them.
[46:02] Speaker 2: I say unto you, truly, truly, except you eat the
[46:05] Speaker 2: flesh of the Sun of Man and drink his blood,
[46:08] Speaker 2: you have no life in you. Have anyone ever said
[46:13] Speaker 2: this to you? But if God is so good, why
[46:16] Speaker 2: is this happening to you? See he's answering it, he says. Look,
[46:23] Speaker 2: he says, you're an agent for God and ain't gottun
[46:27] Speaker 2: to do with what happening to you. I'm gonna say
[46:32] Speaker 2: it again, your relationship with God has nothing to do
[46:37] Speaker 2: what's happening to you. Could you imagine how Daniel felt
[46:51] Speaker 2: He's standing before the king in Aviganza and then beginn
[46:54] Speaker 2: to say, no, something, I'm putting in the lions there
[46:57] Speaker 2: and let him eat you. And Dan started praying and
[46:59] Speaker 2: down he expected an angel to come. No angel showed up.
[47:05] Speaker 2: He expected him to be vanished from the sight of
[47:06] Speaker 2: this court. No vanishing took place. They put a chain
[47:10] Speaker 2: on down down to figure, Okay, God can catch me.
[47:12] Speaker 2: Halfway down the hall, he can reduce the chain. God
[47:14] Speaker 2: didn't show up. Where is my God? The one I
[47:19] Speaker 2: told the king about? And then he heard the growlings
[47:23] Speaker 2: of the lions down there in the den, and he figured,
[47:25] Speaker 2: God going catch me. Just before the door opens, he
[47:27] Speaker 2: go snatch me away. And then the door opened, No God,
[47:33] Speaker 2: And then he walks inside. All the lions stopped circling him,
[47:35] Speaker 2: and he figured, God going to make me vanish. And
[47:38] Speaker 2: he doesn't vanish. Where is God? See, Daniel had to
[47:46] Speaker 2: shift his trust from the works of God to God.
[47:56] Speaker 2: If your faith is in God, it doesn't matter what
[47:59] Speaker 2: happens around. God is stable. Give God a big clap,
[48:04] Speaker 2: give him praise. He never shifts and moves. He's the
[48:09] Speaker 2: same yesterday, the Bible says. He says, if you don't
[48:15] Speaker 2: eat my flesh, don't eat the bread the stuff I
[48:18] Speaker 2: give you, eat me, don't drink the water, drink me,
[48:22] Speaker 2: he says, my blood. He said, if you do that,
[48:24] Speaker 2: then you will have life. You'll give them to live
[48:26] Speaker 2: through anything. Let me give you something to think about.
[48:33] Speaker 2: You're gonna go to some more difficult things in the
[48:34] Speaker 2: next few years. So brace yourself. This message is to
[48:38] Speaker 2: prepare you for next month, next year, five years from here.
[48:42] Speaker 2: You're gonna remember, oh Fastava said that the test comes,
[48:46] Speaker 2: the test of faith. I'm gonna stand, and after standing,
[48:50] Speaker 2: I will stand. How strong are you? You are as
[48:57] Speaker 2: strong as the what your faith survives. I have no
[49:04] Speaker 2: fear of things getting the best we've ever seen God,
[49:10] Speaker 2: but do some things to show off. But he checking
[49:14] Speaker 2: everybody one time. The Lord told me, he says, Look,
[49:20] Speaker 2: he says that. He says, some people can't even survive success.
[49:29] Speaker 2: Your faith couldn't survive a million dollars. You forget about God.
[49:35] Speaker 2: You go buy a car and boating and house somewhere
[49:38] Speaker 2: and just enjoy yourself playing card because wait a minute,
[49:40] Speaker 2: you can't have a success. And so if it draws
[49:45] Speaker 2: everything from you. You know what Jesus said. I quote
[49:51] Speaker 2: his words. He says, if you've been faithful over little first,
[49:57] Speaker 2: let me test you with little then I'll trust you
[50:00] Speaker 2: do it more. It depends on where you can manage
[50:04] Speaker 2: the little First. Can you manage a little stress problem,
[50:08] Speaker 2: a little period of luck? Or do you start saying
[50:12] Speaker 2: God ain't working? Do you know many things. I had
[50:20] Speaker 2: to wait ten years for God to do, and you
[50:26] Speaker 2: want it in ten days. As if you know everything
[50:30] Speaker 2: God knows, God knows, you can't handle it in ten
[50:33] Speaker 2: days because you ain't got the matured fate to handle it.
[50:37] Speaker 2: Many times you think God didn't answer your prayer. No
[50:40] Speaker 2: is an answer clad praise God. Yeah, your seven year
[50:50] Speaker 2: old girl come to you and say, Daddy, I want
[50:52] Speaker 2: the car keys and I want them. Now, what are
[50:57] Speaker 2: you gonna say the seven year old? That's a prayer.
[51:01] Speaker 2: She's praying. I pray thee let I have it the
[51:04] Speaker 2: key and your prayer knoweth No I said answer to prayer.
[51:12] Speaker 2: Why tell me why you said no? Come on? Tell
[51:13] Speaker 2: me why to protect the child? How many times you
[51:18] Speaker 2: talk God didn't hear you and he was protecting you.
[51:27] Speaker 2: Everybody say he knows everything, So when you don't know,
[51:32] Speaker 2: trust what you know about him. He knows everything. That's
[51:39] Speaker 2: why James wrote in his book he says always right.
[51:43] Speaker 2: He says, if the Lord wills. In other words, I'm
[51:48] Speaker 2: coming to see you, pat if the Lord wills, because
[51:51] Speaker 2: he might want me to see you. You could make
[51:55] Speaker 2: a plan cause you or something. I got a bigger
[51:57] Speaker 2: picture this thing. That's the wrong timing to see her.
[52:05] Speaker 2: I remember that time I got left in Atlanta. Plane
[52:08] Speaker 2: left me. We arrived like you know, thirty minutes too late.
[52:12] Speaker 2: Plane left me. I'm so upset cause I wanted to
[52:15] Speaker 2: come home and I was away for seven eight days.
[52:18] Speaker 2: I was signed Greek. The plane just you know that
[52:20] Speaker 2: some storm or stuff mess up my whole plan. And
[52:24] Speaker 2: I'm upset in the airport and the Lord spoke to me,
[52:26] Speaker 2: you know, he said, shut up and sit down. So
[52:29] Speaker 2: I s I I I sat up. I shut up,
[52:32] Speaker 2: I shut it up, and I sat down, and I'm
[52:36] Speaker 2: sitting there now. Try and say, okay, all right, I'm
[52:38] Speaker 2: sitting down. What now? And I heard someone call my name,
[52:43] Speaker 2: and there was this guy walking down the airport. He says,
[52:46] Speaker 2: I know you. You on TV. You talked to Monrow.
[52:48] Speaker 2: I said, yes, sir. He said, I'm so and so on,
[52:50] Speaker 2: and so he shook my hand. I said, look good
[52:52] Speaker 2: to meet you. Yes. Come to find out he was
[52:55] Speaker 2: the guy who was gonna publish my book. He was
[52:58] Speaker 2: a publisher. He said, I was looking for you for mine.
[53:03] Speaker 2: He found me when a plane was missed. Not the
[53:07] Speaker 2: books are in eighty countries. Sometimes Garber, give you an
[53:12] Speaker 2: accident to give you a revelation. He knows everything. God.
[53:19] Speaker 2: Shipwreck the boat Paul was on. Is your boat shipwreck
[53:22] Speaker 2: at the moment? Do you feel like the whole thing shipwreck? Yeah,
[53:25] Speaker 2: it's a setup. He wants to see if you can
[53:29] Speaker 2: handle snakes. Where's your faith? Please write this down very
[53:42] Speaker 2: important verse John six. Please read this carefully, he says.
[53:47] Speaker 2: And many therefore of his disciples, when they heard what
[53:52] Speaker 2: he said, they said, this is a hard saying. He
[53:58] Speaker 2: want us to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
[54:01] Speaker 2: In other words, he want us to follow him with
[54:04] Speaker 2: oh guarantee of fish and bread. He's crazy. The reason
[54:11] Speaker 2: why I follow you is because I wore fish and bread.
[54:14] Speaker 2: You telling me forgetting fish and bread eat you? Are
[54:16] Speaker 2: you crazy? In other words, your pastor is telling you today.
[54:21] Speaker 2: God is saying, don't follow me for what I could
[54:23] Speaker 2: give you. Follow me for me. And if I don't
[54:28] Speaker 2: give you you still follow me, then you ain't gonna
[54:30] Speaker 2: to eat eat me. Glory Jesus, hall Lolujah, praise God.
[54:34] Speaker 2: He said, your faith should not being what I give you,
[54:37] Speaker 2: but the thing that gave it to you is me.
[54:43] Speaker 2: Look at him. They said this is a hard saying.
[54:46] Speaker 2: You want us to just trust God for nothing, But
[54:54] Speaker 2: that's tough. Everything that you have you will lose. You
[55:05] Speaker 2: hear me, ain't nothing permanent. I settled that years ago.
[55:15] Speaker 2: My wife will die one day. I gotta get used
[55:19] Speaker 2: to the idea that I might have delivered over my wife.
[55:22] Speaker 2: He said, it's a charlier, it's a child. She's a
[55:24] Speaker 2: blessing to me. Her husband was an awesome gift to
[55:28] Speaker 2: this church. We prayed and fasted, we splashed all on him.
[55:32] Speaker 2: We pray. God said, no, he did we supposed to do.
[55:42] Speaker 2: And she's standing strong in the faith because she knows
[55:45] Speaker 2: God knows things she doesn't know. Man, you don't know
[55:49] Speaker 2: what to do. You trust God. I'm gonna say this
[55:56] Speaker 2: again because some of you ain't got it in your
[55:58] Speaker 2: head yet. Everything you have you will lose. That's not
[56:04] Speaker 2: a negative prophecy. David says, some trust in chariots, some
[56:13] Speaker 2: trust in the sword. See David hat chariots. He tried it,
[56:18] Speaker 2: and he lost some battles. He trusted in the sword
[56:21] Speaker 2: and even defeated many times.
[56:23] Speaker 3: He said, But when I put my trust in God, hallelujah, hallelujah,
[56:29] Speaker 3: it didn't matter.
[56:31] Speaker 2: Whether the battle was raging, I k you that the
[56:33] Speaker 2: one I trusted is still the winner. Give God a praise.
[56:37] Speaker 2: You're gonna win no matter what happens around you. Bahama
[56:44] Speaker 2: State Ministries does not exist because of the good things
[56:49] Speaker 2: that happened to his members. We exist because God raised
[56:55] Speaker 2: a provision in this nation to bless the world, and
[56:58] Speaker 2: he's doing a good job. We should give him a praise. Hallelujah. Yes,
[57:07] Speaker 2: I thank God for mother Truckman. We lost her sitting
[57:10] Speaker 2: in that chair right there. We lost her. But if
[57:13] Speaker 2: we're still standing and she's clapping in the stands saying
[57:17] Speaker 2: Clo miles, Doc my boy go. Doctor Charter still shouting,
[57:22] Speaker 2: Vandora still shouting, go boy go. Why you ain't here
[57:26] Speaker 2: forever either We're gonna bury you one day. You ain't
[57:30] Speaker 2: gonna stop the show because the show is not your show.
[57:33] Speaker 2: Give God a praise, hallelujah. This is a hard say.
[57:45] Speaker 2: Look at that, boy, it's a hard message bas the mouth.
[57:49] Speaker 2: You just want me to trust God. Let's see what
[57:53] Speaker 2: they did. Next words, it says from that time many
[57:58] Speaker 2: of his disciples are you one of them? Here? Does
[58:06] Speaker 2: didn't work in so I'm gonna change churches. Yeah right,
[58:14] Speaker 2: you are a fish sandwich Christian. Many of them went back.
[58:27] Speaker 2: Why because he took away their bread and water and
[58:31] Speaker 2: gave them his flesh and blood. He took away the gifts,
[58:36] Speaker 2: and he gave them the giver. They didn't want it.
[58:42] Speaker 2: He took away salvation and gave them the Savior. They
[58:45] Speaker 2: didn't want it. He took away the blessing and gave
[58:53] Speaker 2: him the blessing. They didn't want it. Where's your faith?
[58:58] Speaker 2: Who's it in? Your faith? Is not in what happens
[59:04] Speaker 2: to people in this ministry. Sometimes Garber give you an
[59:12] Speaker 2: accident to give you a revelation. He knows everything God.
[59:19] Speaker 2: Shipwreck the boat Paul was on is your boat shipwreck
[59:22] Speaker 2: at the moment? Do you feel like the whole thing shipwreck? Yeah?
[59:24] Speaker 2: It's a setup. He wants to see if you can
[59:29] Speaker 2: handle snakes. Where's your faith? Please write this down? Very
[59:41] Speaker 2: important verse John six. Please read this carefully, he says.
[59:47] Speaker 2: And many therefore of his disciples, when they heard what

[59:58] Speaker 2: want us to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
[1:00:01] Speaker 2: In other words, he wants us to follow him with
[1:00:04] Speaker 2: oh guarantee of fish and bread. He's crazy. The reason
[1:00:10] Speaker 2: why I follow you is because I wore fish and bread.
[1:00:14] Speaker 2: You telling me forget the fish and bread eat you?
[1:00:16] Speaker 2: Are you crazy? In other words, your pastor is telling
[1:00:20] Speaker 2: you today. God is saying, don't follow me for what
[1:00:23] Speaker 2: I could give you, follow me for me. And if
[1:00:27] Speaker 2: I don't give you, you still follow me, then you
[1:00:30] Speaker 2: ain't gonna to eat eat me. Glory Jesus, Hall, Lodlujah,
[1:00:33] Speaker 2: Praise God. He said, your faith should not being what
[1:00:36] Speaker 2: I give you, but the thing that gave it to
[1:00:39] Speaker 2: you is me. Look at him. They say this is
[1:00:45] Speaker 2: a hard saying. You want us to just trust God
[1:00:50] Speaker 2: for nothing. Boy, that's tough. Everything that you have you
[1:01:01] Speaker 2: will lose you hear me. Ain't nothing permanent. I settled
[1:01:13] Speaker 2: that years ago. My wife will die one day. I
[1:01:18] Speaker 2: gotta give you to the idea that I might have
[1:01:20] Speaker 2: to live it. Open my wife, he said, it's a
[1:01:22] Speaker 2: charlier is a child. She's a blessing to me. Her
[1:01:25] Speaker 2: husband was an awesome gift to this church. We prayed
[1:01:29] Speaker 2: and fasted, we splashed all on him. We pray. God
[1:01:34] Speaker 2: said no, he did he was supposed to do. And
[1:01:42] Speaker 2: she's standing strong in the faith because she knows. God
[1:01:45] Speaker 2: knows things she doesn't know. Man, you don't know what
[1:01:49] Speaker 2: to do. You trust God. I'm gonna say this again
[1:01:56] Speaker 2: because some of you ain't got it in your head yet.
[1:01:59] Speaker 2: Everything you have you will lose. That's not a negative prophecy.
[1:02:07] Speaker 2: David says, some trust in chariots, some trust in the sword.
[1:02:15] Speaker 2: See David hat chariots. He tried it, and he lost
[1:02:18] Speaker 2: some battles. He trusted in the sword and even defeated
[1:02:22] Speaker 2: many times.
[1:02:23] Speaker 3: He said, But when I put my trust in God, Hallelujah, hallelujah, it.
[1:02:29] Speaker 2: Didn't matter whether the battle was raging. I knew that
[1:02:33] Speaker 2: the one I trusted is still the winner. Give God
[1:02:36] Speaker 2: a praise. You're gonna win no matter what happens around you.
[1:02:43] Speaker 2: Bahama's fate. Ministries does not exist because of the good
[1:02:48] Speaker 2: things that happened to his members. We exist because God
[1:02:55] Speaker 2: raised a provision in this nation to bless the world,
[1:02:58] Speaker 2: and he's doing a good job. We should give him
[1:03:00] Speaker 2: a praise. Hallelujah. Yes, I thank God for Mother Truckman.
[1:03:09] Speaker 2: We lost her sitting in that chair right there. We
[1:03:11] Speaker 2: lost her, but we're still standing and she's clapping in
[1:03:15] Speaker 2: the in the stand. Saying, go Miles, Doc, my boy go. Doctor.
[1:03:20] Speaker 2: Charter is still shouting, Pandora still shouting, come boy go.
[1:03:25] Speaker 2: Why you ain't here forever either, We're gonna bury you
[1:03:28] Speaker 2: one day. You ain't gonna stop the show because the
[1:03:31] Speaker 2: show is not your show. Give God a praise, hallelujah.
[1:03:42] Speaker 2: This is a hard saying. Look at that, boy, it's
[1:03:46] Speaker 2: a hard message. Back the mouth. You just want me
[1:03:50] Speaker 2: to trust God. Let's see what they did next words.
[1:03:55] Speaker 2: It says from that time many of his disciples went back.
[1:04:02] Speaker 2: Are you one of them? He does ain't work in
[1:04:07] Speaker 2: so I'm gonna change churches? Yeah right, you are a
[1:04:15] Speaker 2: fish sandwich Christian. Many of them went back. Why because
[1:04:28] Speaker 2: he took away their bread and water and gave them
[1:04:31] Speaker 2: his flesh and blooded. He took away the gifts and
[1:04:36] Speaker 2: he gave them the Giver. They didn't want it. He
[1:04:42] Speaker 2: took away salvation and gave them the Savior. They didn't
[1:04:45] Speaker 2: want it. He took away the blessing and gave them
[1:04:52] Speaker 2: the blessing. They didn't want it. Where's your faith? Who's
[1:04:58] Speaker 2: it in? Your faith? Is not in what happens to
[1:05:04] Speaker 2: people in this ministry. There are folks sitting next to
[1:05:09] Speaker 2: you right now. Who will disappoint you in a few years.
[1:05:13] Speaker 2: They gonna do some dumb things. And if I was
[1:05:16] Speaker 2: depending on the lifestyle of people in this ministry and
[1:05:21] Speaker 2: the commitment that they promised me, I would have quit
[1:05:23] Speaker 2: a thousand years ago. But I am not leading this
[1:05:27] Speaker 2: ministry because you are here. This is an assignment by
[1:05:30] Speaker 2: my life from God. And God has given you one too,
[1:05:34] Speaker 2: to join this ministry, to make it what it's supposed
[1:05:36] Speaker 2: to be, to impact the world. You're not here just
[1:05:39] Speaker 2: to get fish and bread. You here to change the
[1:05:41] Speaker 2: world by feeding them the living bread. Come on, give
[1:05:46] Speaker 2: God a praise. Hallelujah. May he bless your family because
[1:05:49] Speaker 2: he put faith in him. Everybody, say trust in the Lord.
[1:05:55] Speaker 2: Say it again, trust in the Lord. Read this verse again.
[1:05:58] Speaker 2: It says, and many who followed him went back and
[1:06:03] Speaker 2: walk no more with him. Sounds familiar church membership changing,
[1:06:07] Speaker 2: people dropping out. No, as Christ didn't panic. Matter of fact,
[1:06:11] Speaker 2: what's what he says? Then he said, unto the twelve
[1:06:15] Speaker 2: who were left, always some some folks left, you know,
[1:06:18] Speaker 2: faithful ones. He said, you wanna go to in otherwise
[1:06:22] Speaker 2: I'm not in this for y'all. Some people believe that
[1:06:30] Speaker 2: if they leave you, you will become less. And they
[1:06:39] Speaker 2: try to use that as a bargaining tool. And the
[1:06:43] Speaker 2: Lord told me to leave, as if it's something special.
[1:06:47] Speaker 2: He said, you wanna go to He told Peter, you
[1:06:51] Speaker 2: wanna go to go. I don't want no one around
[1:06:55] Speaker 2: me for fishing bread. I want him around me for
[1:06:57] Speaker 2: flesh and bread. Come on, give him a shout out Hallelujah.
[1:07:00] Speaker 2: Put your faith in me, not my miracles. You want
[1:07:08] Speaker 2: to go, he says, is that how strong your faith
[1:07:12] Speaker 2: is is as strong at missing a meal, fish and bread.
[1:07:19] Speaker 2: No fish, no bread, no follow. That's what I'm saying.
[1:07:24] Speaker 2: No fish, no bread, no follow. My faith is as
[1:07:27] Speaker 2: strong as fish and bread. If you don't bless me,
[1:07:30] Speaker 2: I ain't come in. God boy, I wonder what shod Rock, me,
[1:07:37] Speaker 2: shock and the bendy goal would say to you when
[1:07:39] Speaker 2: you get to heaven, you lousy thing. You. We went
[1:07:42] Speaker 2: into fire without him. We went into the fire hoping
[1:07:46] Speaker 2: he would save us, and he showed up in the fire.
[1:07:51] Speaker 2: He didn't protect us from the furnace, He didn't keep
[1:07:53] Speaker 2: us from going in. He let us go in. We
[1:08:06] Speaker 2: need some fire, Christians. You're in the fire. So what
[1:08:13] Speaker 2: there's a fourth man around. He's right here this morning.
[1:08:16] Speaker 2: Praise God, Holy Ghost, run up and down this building
[1:08:19] Speaker 2: right now shouting preach, pastor preach. He's telling me, preach,
[1:08:24] Speaker 2: what put your faith in God? I remember Shadrak told
[1:08:31] Speaker 2: me Shaq and the big Negro. He said, look, he said,
[1:08:35] Speaker 2: let's tell the king. This should read this in the
[1:08:37] Speaker 2: Book of Daniel. He says, Look, if the Lord delivers us, fine,
[1:08:42] Speaker 2: If he doesn't deliver us, fine that what they said
[1:08:48] Speaker 2: is that the kind of faid you get. If we
[1:08:52] Speaker 2: lose the house, I still trust God. If we kill
[1:08:54] Speaker 2: the house, I still trust God. I dare you? I
[1:08:57] Speaker 2: dare you? Where's your faith? Sometimes we get faith in
[1:09:11] Speaker 2: faith and not faith in God? Verse sixty eight. And
[1:09:19] Speaker 2: then a member of BFM Simons answered him and said, Lord,
[1:09:26] Speaker 2: to whom shall we go? In other words, look where
[1:09:29] Speaker 2: we go? The words of life are with you, he says,
[1:09:33] Speaker 2: we're getting the word here with you. Where we go.
[1:09:39] Speaker 2: An incident of missing a meal can't take us away
[1:09:42] Speaker 2: from you. A lot of sandwiches will never remove us
[1:09:48] Speaker 2: from you. We we don't get what we want, and
[1:09:52] Speaker 2: things don't work up the way we wanted it. We
[1:09:54] Speaker 2: still ain't going nowhere. Why because we still ain't find
[1:09:57] Speaker 2: nobody better than you. God. Let me tell you something.
[1:10:01] Speaker 2: The folks who sometime will criticize you in the midst
[1:10:06] Speaker 2: of a storm ain't got no God to go to.
[1:10:10] Speaker 2: So why you listening to them? Come on, give him
[1:10:13] Speaker 2: a praise. You got a God to go to and
[1:10:16] Speaker 2: to cast your cares upon. That's why I don't waste
[1:10:19] Speaker 2: my time, because I ain't gonna let no one punch me.
[1:10:31] Speaker 2: My faith is in God. The storms that I've been
[1:10:38] Speaker 2: through and the minute you have been through have prepared
[1:10:42] Speaker 2: you for every other storm. So be faithful to God. Hallelujah.
[1:10:49] Speaker 2: I have to be faithful to God. Read your last part.
[1:10:52] Speaker 2: It says, and we believe that you are surely the Sun, God,
[1:11:00] Speaker 2: the Christ. Not if it Peter did. He shifted from
[1:11:02] Speaker 2: bread to believe belief in Jesus. I believe it was
[1:11:08] Speaker 2: at this point where Jesus really took Peter in and says,
[1:11:10] Speaker 2: I'm gonna train you to be the next leader, because
[1:11:12] Speaker 2: Peter shifted from bread. Remember first it was fish. He
[1:11:16] Speaker 2: called fish for Peter, and Peter says, I'll follow you, man,
[1:11:18] Speaker 2: you keep my business going. What if he doesn't keep
[1:11:21] Speaker 2: your business going. Remember now a first catching fish was
[1:11:24] Speaker 2: a business deal. Peter, business was going good because Jesus
[1:11:28] Speaker 2: provided resources for the business. His faith was in fish.
[1:11:34] Speaker 2: Now it was in bread. And Christ says, no, not
[1:11:36] Speaker 2: even bread. And now Peter shifts. He says, I believe
[1:11:40] Speaker 2: in you. So where you are now, let me tell
[1:11:49] Speaker 2: you something I discovered something about God. God is the Rock,
[1:11:55] Speaker 2: said the Bible calls him the rock. You know the rock,
[1:12:00] Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, If you anchor on the rock, it
[1:12:04] Speaker 2: doesn't matter the storm. Put your faith in the rock.
[1:12:15] Speaker 2: Peter says, for you, the Christ I believe. And Jesus
[1:12:20] Speaker 2: answered them and says, have I not chosen you twelve?
[1:12:22] Speaker 2: And one of you, even in this twelve is the devil.
[1:12:28] Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me. It's very important. I
[1:12:34] Speaker 2: don't know who that might be in this room. And
[1:12:42] Speaker 2: remember he was close. He ain't wanted the seventy. He
[1:12:48] Speaker 2: was in the top part of the ministry. Yes, what's
[1:12:53] Speaker 2: important about this? Jesus kept on going. I'm gonna say
[1:12:58] Speaker 2: it again. Jesus kept on going. It doesn't matter who's
[1:13:03] Speaker 2: around you. He just kept on. He said, the Father
[1:13:06] Speaker 2: gave me work to do. I'm gonna do the Father's work.
[1:13:11] Speaker 2: Don't let people remove you from the Father's work. By
[1:13:26] Speaker 2: the way, I think it's important to note that that
[1:13:29] Speaker 2: was the one who committed suicide, and Jesus kept on,
[1:13:36] Speaker 2: go say it, and Jesus kept on, go ahead. What
[1:13:44] Speaker 2: stops you from going in? He let us go in.
[1:13:57] Speaker 2: We need some fire. Christians, You're in the fire. So what.
[1:14:04] Speaker 2: There's a fourth man around. He's right here this morning.
[1:14:08] Speaker 2: Praise God. Holy ghosts run up and down this building
[1:14:11] Speaker 2: right now shouting preach, pastor preach. He's telling me, preach,
[1:14:15] Speaker 2: what put your faith in God? I remember Shadrack told
[1:14:22] Speaker 2: me Shaq and the big Negro. He said, look, he said,
[1:14:27] Speaker 2: let's tell the king. This should read this in the
[1:14:29] Speaker 2: Book of Daniel. He says, look, if the Lord delivers us, fine,
[1:14:34] Speaker 2: If he doesn't deliver us, fine that what they said
[1:14:40] Speaker 2: is that the kind of faid you get if you
[1:14:43] Speaker 2: lose the house. I still trust God. If we keep
[1:14:46] Speaker 2: the house, I still trust God. I dare you, I
[1:14:49] Speaker 2: dare you? Where's your faith? Sometimes we get faith in
[1:15:03] Speaker 2: faith and not faith in God Verse sixty eight. And
[1:15:11] Speaker 2: then a member of BFM Simons answered him and said,
[1:15:15] Speaker 2: Lord to whom shall we go? In other words, look
[1:15:20] Speaker 2: where are we going? The words of life are with you,
[1:15:23] Speaker 2: he says, were getting the word here with you? Where
[1:15:27] Speaker 2: we go? An incident of missing a meal can't take
[1:15:34] Speaker 2: us away from you. A lack of sandwiches will never
[1:15:39] Speaker 2: remove us from you. But we don't get what we want,
[1:15:44] Speaker 2: and things don't work under where we wanted it. We
[1:15:46] Speaker 2: still ain't going nowhere. Why because we still ain't find
[1:15:48] Speaker 2: nobody better than you. God. Let me tell you something.
[1:15:53] Speaker 2: The folks who sometime will criticize you in the midst
[1:15:58] Speaker 2: of a storm ain't got no God to go to,
[1:16:01] Speaker 2: So why are you in listening to them? Come on,
[1:16:04] Speaker 2: give him a praise. You got a God to go
[1:16:06] Speaker 2: to and to cast your cares upon. That's why I
[1:16:11] Speaker 2: don't waste my time, because I ain't gonna let no
[1:16:13] Speaker 2: one punch me right. My faith is in God. The
[1:16:27] Speaker 2: storms that I've been through and the many you have
[1:16:31] Speaker 2: been through have prepared you for every other storm. So
[1:16:38] Speaker 2: be faithful to God. Hallelujah. I have to be faithful
[1:16:41] Speaker 2: to God. Read your last part. It says, and we
[1:16:46] Speaker 2: believe that you are surely the son of God, the
[1:16:52] Speaker 2: Christ noted for Peter did. He shifted from bread to
[1:16:56] Speaker 2: believe it belief in Jesus. I believe. It was at
[1:17:00] Speaker 2: this point where Jesus really took Peter in and said,
[1:17:02] Speaker 2: I'm gonna train you to be the next leader. Because
[1:17:04] Speaker 2: Peter shifted from bread. Remember, first it was fish. He
[1:17:08] Speaker 2: called fish for Peter, and Peter says, I'll follow you man,
[1:17:10] Speaker 2: you keep my business going. What if he doesn't keep
[1:17:12] Speaker 2: you business going? Remember not a first catching fish was
[1:17:16] Speaker 2: a business deal. Peter business was going good because Jesus
[1:17:20] Speaker 2: provided resources for the business. His fate was in fish.
[1:17:26] Speaker 2: Now it was in bread. And Christ says, no, not
[1:17:28] Speaker 2: even bread. And now Peter shifts. He says, I believe
[1:17:32] Speaker 2: in you. So where you are now, let me tell
[1:17:41] Speaker 2: you something I discovered something about God. God is the Rock,
[1:17:47] Speaker 2: said the Bible calls him the rock. You know the rock,
[1:17:52] Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, If you anchor on the rock, it
[1:17:56] Speaker 2: doesn't matter the storm. Put your faith in the rock.
[1:18:07] Speaker 2: Peter says, for you the Christ I believe. And Jesus
[1:18:11] Speaker 2: answered them and says, have I not chosen you twelve?
[1:18:13] Speaker 2: And one of you, even in this twelve is the devil.
[1:18:20] Speaker 2: Lady and gentlemen, listen to me. It's very important. I
[1:18:25] Speaker 2: don't know who that might be in this room. And
[1:18:33] Speaker 2: remember he was close. He ain't wanted the seventy. He
[1:18:40] Speaker 2: was in the top part of the ministry. Yes, what's
[1:18:45] Speaker 2: important about this? Jesus kept on God, I'm gonna say
[1:18:50] Speaker 2: it again. Jesus kept on good. It doesn't matter who's
[1:18:54] Speaker 2: around you. He just kept on go. He said, the
[1:18:57] Speaker 2: Father gave me work to do. I'm gonna do the
[1:18:59] Speaker 2: father's work. Don't let people remove you from their father's work.
[1:19:17] Speaker 2: By the way, I think it's important to note that
[1:19:21] Speaker 2: that was the one who committed suicide, and Jesus kept
[1:19:26] Speaker 2: torn go say it, and Jesus kept ton go ahead.
[1:19:36] Speaker 2: What stops your faith? Suicide of his place and a
[1:19:42] Speaker 2: friend could not stop him from going. I am sure
[1:19:53] Speaker 2: Jesus felt that hurt because Judas was part of the team.
[1:19:59] Speaker 2: He chose him, but he couldn't stop him. He couldn't
[1:20:08] Speaker 2: stop making private deals. I don't know what's going on
[1:20:12] Speaker 2: in your house. Judas was making private deals on the side.
[1:20:19] Speaker 2: What's going on in your house? You come as a member,
[1:20:21] Speaker 2: people think you'll find what's going on in your house.
[1:20:26] Speaker 2: Now they could have blamed Jesus and said, you know, Jesus,
[1:20:29] Speaker 2: you cause him to come in suicide. She said, don't
[1:20:31] Speaker 2: put that on me. Jesus never took credit for it.
[1:20:37] Speaker 2: I responded. He says, Judas, do what you have to do.
[1:20:44] Speaker 2: It's amazing. Whatever stops you is the strength of your faith.
[1:20:53] Speaker 2: And so Miles Monroe Bahma slave ministries, We're gonna keep
[1:20:59] Speaker 2: on going and keep on go and keep on going.
[1:21:05] Speaker 2: Why because we come to finish the work he gave
[1:21:10] Speaker 2: us to do, and he knows things we don't know.
[1:21:15] Speaker 2: He can do things we cannot do, and he can
[1:21:18] Speaker 2: explain things you could never explain. So just keep on going.
[1:21:30] Speaker 2: You know, some people in this room are living in
[1:21:31] Speaker 2: the past and it's weighing you down. You still carrying
[1:21:36] Speaker 2: load from people who hurt your feelings ten years ago
[1:21:39] Speaker 2: or disappointed you five years ago, and you ain't moving ahead.
[1:21:43] Speaker 2: And God is saying, look, cut that off and keep
[1:21:47] Speaker 2: on doing. You got a life ahead of you. You
[1:21:50] Speaker 2: got things who accomplish, big things to do for God.
[1:21:53] Speaker 2: Cut that thing off. We gotta forgive people, and we
[1:22:05] Speaker 2: gotta bless them, and don't speak evil of them, and
[1:22:09] Speaker 2: then keep on going. Don't try to second guess nobody's motive,
[1:22:14] Speaker 2: but you don't understand, leave it to God. Put your
[1:22:18] Speaker 2: trust in God, and then keep on going. Let me
[1:22:25] Speaker 2: tell you something in case you don't understand this. I
[1:22:29] Speaker 2: figured it's thirty years ago, because when you leave, we
[1:22:32] Speaker 2: can forget you. I'm be gonna keep on going. Listen,
[1:22:40] Speaker 2: you ain't that important as you think you are. You know,
[1:22:43] Speaker 2: let me tell you somebody we say, Well, if I
[1:22:45] Speaker 2: don't show up, ain't nothing gonna happen. Oh you'll be amazed.
[1:22:48] Speaker 2: You will be amazed. Tell your neighbor do your part,
[1:22:54] Speaker 2: do it well, and move on. That's all God wants
[1:22:58] Speaker 2: you to do. Don't get off title you are.
[1:23:00] Speaker 1: You know.
[1:23:00] Speaker 2: If I don't do this, then here nothing gonna happen.
[1:23:03] Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. God can get rid of
[1:23:05] Speaker 2: me in the morning. Matter of fact, I have a
[1:23:08] Speaker 2: blank sheet in my life right now. Whatever God says
[1:23:10] Speaker 2: to do, I do. Hold on to nothing tight. Let's
[1:23:22] Speaker 2: keep on going. Let me close with this. Please write
[1:23:26] Speaker 2: this down. This is very important. I'naive you a list.
[1:23:30] Speaker 2: Success is measured by your ability to maintain personal balance
[1:23:37] Speaker 2: in times of turmoil. Maturity is your ability to manage
[1:23:45] Speaker 2: the expected and the unexpected. I can tell you how
[1:23:49] Speaker 2: matured you are by what you do under pressure. It
[1:23:58] Speaker 2: doesn't matter how much you talk how great you are.
[1:24:00] Speaker 2: I check how you react under pressure, because that is
[1:24:04] Speaker 2: the measure of your maturity. Those who are matured in
[1:24:08] Speaker 2: the faith are willing to be tried in the furnace.
[1:24:16] Speaker 2: Success in life is your capacity to manage turmoil and
[1:24:22] Speaker 2: keep your balance in the middle of it. Hey, y'all,
[1:24:25] Speaker 2: keep your balance. Christ is the same. I like it,
[1:24:33] Speaker 2: the Bible says. The Bible says, God is light and
[1:24:36] Speaker 2: inn There is no darkness nor any shadow of turning.
[1:24:40] Speaker 2: He doesn't wave even an inch. He is steady. And
[1:24:43] Speaker 2: then he says, imitate me, like, dear children, be steady.
[1:24:49] Speaker 2: We will stay steady because what is over our heads
[1:24:55] Speaker 2: is still under his feet for the blessing. How do
[1:25:07] Speaker 2: you respond? The tragedy is a measure of your maturity.
[1:25:13] Speaker 2: You know my my brother Paul, who grew up with me.
[1:25:17] Speaker 2: He and I were like twins. Uh. He was one
[1:25:19] Speaker 2: year older than me. We were together all the time.
[1:25:21] Speaker 2: Matter of fact, his name was Paul, and we were
[1:25:23] Speaker 2: so close they ended me calling me Peter. So most
[1:25:26] Speaker 2: of the folks who know me from a little boy
[1:25:27] Speaker 2: knew that they called me Peter. Matter of fact, some
[1:25:29] Speaker 2: folks didn't even know I was named Miles because my
[1:25:31] Speaker 2: brother and I were so close wherever they thought you
[1:25:33] Speaker 2: would almost to get like a twin? Is it Pete
[1:25:35] Speaker 2: and Paul Peter and Paul Peter and Paul. My brother
[1:25:37] Speaker 2: died in my hands. Hey, Mary told me my brother
[1:25:41] Speaker 2: an accent. I s sped him there slum brakes went
[1:25:45] Speaker 2: to the road. Everybody on the side happen to the road.
[1:25:48] Speaker 2: Man in blood, my brother head, Pete holding my brother head,
[1:25:50] Speaker 2: and I hold my brother and I started praying, God,
[1:25:53] Speaker 2: you can raise the Dad raised my brother and I
[1:25:57] Speaker 2: buried my brother here. How can you handle tragedy? What
[1:26:01] Speaker 2: do you do with tragedy? You keep on going? What
[1:26:12] Speaker 2: will separate you from the love of God? I got
[1:26:15] Speaker 2: an answer for you. Maybe it's death, life, demons, things present,
[1:26:21] Speaker 2: things to come. What is your fate worth? And so
[1:26:29] Speaker 2: I walked away from my brother's accident with his blood
[1:26:33] Speaker 2: on my shirt. And I believe in God still because
[1:26:41] Speaker 2: the God who allowed him to die can raise the dead.
[1:26:44] Speaker 2: It's just that God decided he wasn't gonna do it
[1:26:46] Speaker 2: that day. God could stop people from doing anything. So
[1:26:52] Speaker 2: whatever He allowed to happen has a bigger reason than
[1:26:56] Speaker 2: you can ever understand. And if anybody you hear me,
[1:27:04] Speaker 2: if anybody think they're big enough to try and accuse
[1:27:07] Speaker 2: you or explain something, I dare them. You know, God
[1:27:14] Speaker 2: has a sense of humor. He'll put the plug on
[1:27:17] Speaker 2: them and see how they react. The Bible says, judge,
[1:27:22] Speaker 2: that you be not judged. Used to judging. God, pull
[1:27:24] Speaker 2: the plug on you. See how you handled it. That
[1:27:29] Speaker 2: I will be done, What a beautiful prayer. Thy will
[1:27:33] Speaker 2: be done? Because I don't understand the whole will, so
[1:27:37] Speaker 2: that I will be done, not my will. Jesus said
[1:27:40] Speaker 2: that I will be done. I want this cup to
[1:27:42] Speaker 2: go away. I don't want to go to the cross,
[1:27:44] Speaker 2: don't want to go to the pain and the whip
[1:27:45] Speaker 2: and all the slapping and the spinning in my face.
[1:27:47] Speaker 2: He said, but tell you what, whatever you will have
[1:27:50] Speaker 2: no problem. What are you willing to go through with
[1:27:54] Speaker 2: your faith? And I walked away with my brother's blood
[1:27:59] Speaker 2: on my shoes. I had to go home. I sit
[1:28:04] Speaker 2: in the house and answer God, I appreciate you are
[1:28:09] Speaker 2: the resurrection. I appreciate you the healer. Why didn't you
[1:28:15] Speaker 2: let Me my Brother Live.
