0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:04.080 Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick. I'm the pastor of Elevation 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:06.560 Church and this is our podcast. I wanted to thank 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:09.920 you for joining us today. Hope this inspires you. Hope 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:10.680 it builds your faith. 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:11.480 Hope it gives your. 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:13.560 Perspective to see God is moving in your life. 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:16.560 Enjoy the message. 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:20.000 Raise the Lord, everybody. 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:24.599 It's so good to see you. Holly come up for 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:28.960 a moment. Holly wants to tell you how much she 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:35.240 miss you. I missed you all so much. 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:38.080 It is so good to be in the House of 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:39.760 the Lord worshiping with you this morning. 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:45.520 Sound amazing, you look good. Thank you. The real reason 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:47.239 I had you come up is suck could catch my 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:51.160 breath from the jumping. Are you out of shape? 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:52.080 You're not out of shape. 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:52.960 You've been exercise. 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.760 I have more of an anaerobic strength, more like bench preston. 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:59.160 You've been exercising and drinking your powders and stuff. 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.360 But no cardio. Everybody, give the Lord a praise today. 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:09.240 If you're glad that he woke you up. I'll tell 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.440 you what. Let us never take for granted the privilege 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:15.280 that it is to meet together like this. Just want 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.360 to remind you that there's somebody that would love to 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.600 be standing where you're standing today. And if you have 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:22.480 to strength to stand there, and if you have to 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.360 strengthen the breath to praise God, you ought to do it. 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:31.560 Give him a great shout right now. I want to 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.960 welcome our entire EPHAM around the world. I want to 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.400 welcome every location. This is going to be an amazing, 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.000 amazing second half of the summer. We've got Love Week 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:41.360 coming up the last week of July. 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:44.320 We're going to serve our communities. 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.120 We've got youth X still hanging over in the room. 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:59.080 I feel it, man, But wasn't it amazing? Turn me 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.640 up in the monitors little bit. Wasn't it amazing? Wasn't 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:09.400 it incredible? Didn't God move kids getting saved, set free, delivered, healed, 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:15.640 called up higher. Thank you for your ministry to the 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.720 next generation. Thank you for our ministry that's going forth 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.920 with our pop ups all summer long. Chad, We've got 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.839 another pop up coming to Charleston, South Carolina. I think 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.600 next week it's going to be two weeks. It's going 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.639 to be a very busy summer. I planned to preach 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.720 my first sermon this week because we've had amazing guest preachers, 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.440 haven't We had some amazing guests and some of our 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:43.440 in house preachers. And I thought, well, I'll preach to 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.600 the youth Wednesday night, which I did, and then I'll 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:52.200 come back and preach. But something happened. I kind of wanted, well, 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:53.760 what I thought would be cool is can I just 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.400 come to church and here a guest preacher? But I 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.560 didn't have one lined up. And I was thinking about 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.960 that and praying about that. And Saturday, as I was 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.440 thinking and praying about that, last Saturday, that is, I 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:09.359 got a text and the text was from Bishop td Jakes. 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:16.519 Now, so this guy said. 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:17.760 To me the other day, he said, are you back 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.400 in the pulpit preaching this week? I said'm back in 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.760 the pulpit, but I'm not preaching. He looked disappointed. That 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.480 made me feel good. You always want people to be 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.720 a little disappointed when you say you're not coming back. 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.600 But then I said, but would you be interested if 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.519 I told you that Bishop td Jakes is going to 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:33.440 preach for me instead? 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.240 So here's what happened. Yeah, we all would. 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.760 I think you all know that he is not only 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.600 my preaching hero, but he has been one of the 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:49.680 closest friends that I could ask for. How many times 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.080 have I frantically sent him a text message on Saturday 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.240 night to ask him if my theology was incorrect on 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.840 a sermon I was about to preach to you, or 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.360 did he have a better title for it or could 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:05.480 he just come preach it for me? Well, last Saturday 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.600 he said, I'm gonna be in Charlotte if you want 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:12.360 to have dinner Sunday night. And I said, Sunday night, 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.400 So what are you doing Sunday morning? I started doing 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.800 the math. I figured he might be open, and I said, 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:23.960 would you be willing to come. 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:24.839 And preach to our people? 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.840 I would love for them to hear from you as 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.400 we celebrate this twentieth year of ministry. There's no voice 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:34.320 we'd rather hear than yours. And here's what's cool, before 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:39.360 he comes, Before he comes and just absolutely blesses us 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:47.320 like only he can. Yeah, don't skip Sunday's at Elevation Church. 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.040 You never know what God will do for you. That's 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:54.960 the moral of the story. You better log on, you know. 0:04:56.080 --> 0:05:00.200 Just last Sunday, Bishop Jakes, after over thirty years of 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:05.560 pastoring the Potter's House in Dallas, transitioned the church to 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.039 the leadership of his daughter and his son in law, 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:16.039 Pastor Teray and Sarah Roberts. So I told him this 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:21.880 is his first Sunday as a free agent, and I 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.520 wanted to take the moment right now on video to 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.840 officially extend the offer that Bishop Jakes, we know you're 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.159 still going to be very busy changing the world and 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:38.680 completely redeveloping economies and feeding entire villages and changing the 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.320 trajectory of our nation's political structure, and preaching and teaching 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:43.800 and doing all the things that you do. We know 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:47.040 that you've got so much more to do. But Bishop Jakes, 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.719 I know you're back there listening to me. If you're 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:55.640 looking for a vacation church, a place where you can 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.960 come and preach anytime and the people will just absolutely 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.880 love to have you, a church where you don't have 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.240 to manage the staff or pay the bills, but you 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:06.320 can just come preach. 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.080 We want you to know Elevation. 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:14.640 Church considers ourself the official vacation church of the greatest 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:20.680 preacher of our time, the one, the only, the incomparable, 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.800 Bishop feed Job. 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:44.760 These are my friends. They're not just my brother and 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.719 my sister you don't get to pick your brother and sister. 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:52.919 They're also my friends. And I love you right back. 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.760 Aren't you glad you're in here today? Aren't you happy 0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.599 to be here? How many people are happy to be 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:09.000 Make some noise? If you're happy to be here, I 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.400 want you to do something now that we have praised 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.640 the Lord and given him glory and clapped. You know, 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.320 I always have to change my clap because you will 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:22.080 clap on the beat, and we clap in between the beat, 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:24.680 and so if I don't change my beat, we sound 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.800 like popcorn. But we have a great time sounding like 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.560 fork popcorn because God said, make a joy for noise 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.560 unto the Lord, and it can be syncopated, it can 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.480 be together, it doesn't matter. He just loves for us 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.560 to make noise. Come on, let's just make some noise. 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:49.240 Yeah yeah, like that? Yeah like that, until the angel 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:54.480 looks get jealous, until the demons start to tremble, until 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:59.040 the person begins to flee. Let everything that have breadth 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:01.240 age me the Lord. 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.400 Yeah, that's what. 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:06.200 I'm talking about. 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.400 Now that you craped your hands and you praise the 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:13.920 Lord and you sound like popcin. Your hair's all over 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:15.760 your head, You got a little bit of sweat and 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:25.880 breaking out on you. Turn around and hug somebody. Yeah, yeah, 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:31.200 get that anointed sweat on her. Yeah. Let the presence 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:40.600 of God over shaper them. You may be seeing Pessor 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.480 Steven Holly, I love you. I'm grateful to God for 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:47.559 this great church and the wonderful I love you. 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:48.160 Go back. 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:50.440 Isn't it wonderful? 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.920 The being here just to sing and be with other 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:56.079 believers and people who love the Lord like you do. 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:00.959 And there's an excitement that's contagious. You know, it's contagious, 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:05.640 like grief or anything. It's contagious. You see somebody crying, 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.840 you start crying, even though you don't know the person 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.360 that they're crying about. You just start crying because they're crying. 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.240 And then you're crying. Then you say, why am I crying? 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.920 You don't know why you're crying, but you're crying because 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.000 it's contagious. And when we laugh, we start laughing together. 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.720 Sometimes we didn't even see what happened. But if everybody 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.679 starts laughing in the room, we start laughing. And so 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.120 the joy of the Lord is contagious. The Bible said, 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:32.120 rejoice with them that do rejoice and so it's contagious. 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.560 You can come in here and not even be one 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.920 of us, not even be a Christian. But if you're 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.280 come in here, it's contagious. You'll find yourself, you know, 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:49.040 you know, So it's good. The problem is we can't 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:54.360 stay here, we can't live here. Like the priests who 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:58.199 went into the holies of Holies and found the sanctuary 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.440 of God, the presence of God of Glory falling in 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.640 the middle of the desert, they could only go in 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.120 there a day. They had to spend the rest of 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.960 the days in the outer court, because that's where. 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.440 The work is done. 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.400 And so what I want to talk to you today 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:16.600 about is where the work is done, not where the 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.880 joy is felt or the dance goes forth or the 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.720 people do some of y'all was doing the watusi or something. 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.800 Y'all make up a dance. I love y'all. Y'all don't 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:36.280 have no dan, just you know, and God loves it. 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.440 God just spends around on the throne because you're just 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.840 giving him to go. All of that is good, But 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.240 I want to get beyond all of that and beneath 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.480 all of that, and I want to peel that back 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.720 like it's an onion, and I want to get down 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.160 to the part of you that the Holy Spirit wants 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.880 to do something in. So tonight today I used to 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.719 preaching at night. I said, today, I want to talk 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:04.400 to you about the power to change your mind. The 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:09.080 power to change your mind. At a time they're trying 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.760 to put chips in our heads, and at a time 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.800 they're trying to put things into our hands so that 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.080 we can go to the grocery store and buy stuff 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:18.920 we don't need. So the hand can be so fat 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.640 it can't read the chip. You'll get it later, don't 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:26.960 worry better. At a time that everybody's getting all in 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.320 our refrigerator and Wi Fi controls it stuff that it 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.160 doesn't need to. I mean, my iron really doesn't need 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:37.240 Wi Fi. But some kind of way, my iron has 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.800 Wi Fi, so that when I'm earning my shirt, somebody 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.360 knows it and it's stored in the cloud. All the 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.920 wrinkles are stored in the cloud. At a time like that, 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.880 I've got to do the work of understanding what God 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:53.960 wants from me. Go with me quickly to the Book 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:57.439 of Roman, chapter twelve, verse one through twelve. Is very easy. 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.160 It's very simple. But I want to share with you today. 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:03.640 And I wrote it down because I'm old and I 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:07.640 can't remember stuff like I used to. Yeah, I'm a 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:17.079 free man. You know. I loved it. But I'm glad 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.360 for my daughter and my son in law who has 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.120 grabbed the reins and allowed me to get out and 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:23.680 see y'all on a Sunday morning. 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:25.280 Isn't that cool? 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.280 I feel like a giraffe let out of cage or something. 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:37.240 You know. Roman's twelve first one through twelve, and stand 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.040 for me for the reading of the world, would you 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:47.240 just for a minute. And I read King James. Not 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:51.680 that it's holy or anything, but I read it because 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:56.520 it's old like me, okay, And I like old stuff sometimes. 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:02.840 So I like the Eliza Beetham Elizabeefing type language that 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:08.520 makes the scripture sounds so prose and poetic and powerful. 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:12.199 And you can almost hear God's speaking to you by 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:16.040 the way it talks by him. Therefore, let us offer 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.520 the sacrifice of praise the power of it. It just 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:24.600 sounds nice. And nowhere is it anymore blatant than it is. 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.920 And this text Romans twelve and one, when the apostle Paul, 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.439 who is revered by all the thinkers of his age, 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:36.559 who speaks in a multiplicity of languages, who is accepted 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.480 in the courts of the wisest men of his era, 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.320 who has traveled by sea and by land to reach 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:46.000 and to touch various parts of the world with the 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.560 influence that he has, who has at one time been 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:55.520 a Christian killer and terror is been a terrorist against 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:59.640 the Kingdom of God, has had a Damascus Road experienced, 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.280 which he has to be willing to forsake some of 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.920 the admiration, to be into the will of God. That Paul, 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.680 who is of the tribe of Benjamin, that Paul who 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:16.000 is a Pharisee of Pharisees, that Paul who is responsible 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:20.000 for most of the New Testament. That without the Apostle Paul, 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:24.000 we wouldn't We wouldn't have the fivefold Ministry. We wouldn't 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.720 have the nine fruits of the Spirit. We wouldn't have 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:30.320 the nine gifts of the Spirit. We wouldn't have so 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:35.600 many the mystery of Godliness. We wouldn't know that. Behold, 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.840 I show you a mystery. We shall all sleep, and 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:42.040 we shall all be changed. This dude is bad, Okay, 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:46.040 this dude's bag If you take Paul out of the 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:50.880 New Testament, it becomes a comic book. That's how small 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:52.960 it's left. All the other books. I don't know whether 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.920 they got tired of writing, or their fingers hurt, or 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.800 they didn't afford any ink, but they didn't write nearly 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.760 as much except for He, they didn't write nearly as 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:05.600 much as Apostle. Paul gives us most of our understanding 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.040 of what we are supposed to be in this age 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.640 and this era, and we get to hear what he 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.600 is saying, as he has had an encounter with God 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:19.160 like us, not like Luke or Mark or Matthew, where 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:22.000 they actually got to walk with Jesus. He has had 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.680 an experience with God that has made him no God, 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:30.960 because he has had an experience, and invisible experience, invisible, 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:37.440 invisible that left him blind, and he learned to walk 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.840 by faith and not by sight. And he wasn't there 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.000 with any woman with his sher blood touching him of 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.800 his garment got here. He didn't get to see Lazar 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:47.680 come out the grave. He didn't get to see all 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:51.640 the good stuff he misses. All he had was a 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:55.600 great light hitting and the light was so strong that 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.240 it mesmerized and gave him the ability to change his 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:03.480 life and to be willing to forsake how people think 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:10.440 about him. It takes courage to be willing to change 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.920 the way people think about you and not be bothered 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:20.200 by it, not to seek their approval or their validation, 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.560 in order to be able to stand. That's who's talking 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.920 to us. And he has come from his lofty clouds 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:30.960 of intellectualism down to the low places of saying, I 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:35.440 beseech you there for brethren, which means I beg you, 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:40.480 the great Man begs I beg you there, for brethren, 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:45.119 by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:51.040 a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:57.800 reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world. But 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:03.400 be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Be you 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:08.960 transformed by the renewing of your mind. Be Ye transformed. 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:13.160 Don't just take on a form, but be ye transform 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:15.680 by the renewing of your mind. Don't fake the fun. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:20.520 Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Don't 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:24.199 just jump because I'm jumping. Be Ye transformed by the 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.679 renewing of your mind. Have the kind of faith that 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:33.160 lasts past Sunday morning, be ye transformer, by the renewing 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.480 of your mind. You mean I can have a new mind. 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:42.359 You mean I can literally be responsible for changing my mind, 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.560 the place that holds my past and my doubts and 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:51.800 my fears and my trauma and my insecurity and my 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:56.399 rejection and my adversity and my self loathing and my 0:17:56.600 --> 0:18:01.280 uncertainty about I can change that. You mean it's possible 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:05.320 that I can lose the imposture syndrome and be as 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.000 happy on Monday as I act. 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:11.280 Like I am on Sunday. You mean it's possible. 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.840 You mean it's possible I can walk through my house 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.320 and be singing out of tune, and me and God 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.240 can be having a good time, and I can really 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.560 be happy and not just be happy for you and 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.720 happy around you and happy because you're looking at me. 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.800 You mean it's actually possible that I can lay down 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.040 and rest at night and feel like the angels have 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.760 ropped me to sleep. You mean it's possible that I 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:39.919 can live without fear and terror and the feeling that 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.679 something bad is about to happen at any moment in 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.720 my life. You mean it's possible for me not to 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:49.399 hate my nose, or dislike my lips, or hate the 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:52.679 way my eyes are made. You mean it's possible that 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:56.600 I can be transformed by the renewing of my mind. 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.119 Now you're talking about some amazing he says, be Ye, 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.080 transform by the renewal of your mind, that ye may 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:08.800 prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:13.119 of God. Because you can never prove the value of 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:17.280 Christianity as long as you give me a facade of 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.360 jubilants and go home to be a person. Because when 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:25.119 I see your facade, I cannot connect with you, because 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:28.320 I cannot relate to you. I can only relate to 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.240 you when I see you go through hard stuff and 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:34.440 painful stuff, and you get mad and stuff gets on 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:37.920 your nerves and you're afraid of heights and a spider 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.000 comes out and you jump on top of the couch. 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:43.320 I can only relate to you when you do Clark 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:46.960 Kent kind of stuff. I can't relate to your superman 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:52.760 Come on, somebody, your superman self. I want to meet you. 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:56.240 I want to meet you where you're at. I want 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:59.760 to go where you are. Be Ye transformed by the 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:05.080 re your mind. Swee Holy Spirit, come come into this place. 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.520 And do what you want to do. Throw your weight 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.760 around and show the devil who's boss. I thank you 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.600 because of God, all by yourself, and you. 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:18.119 Can do anything but fail. 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:21.879 Take over this building and take over this place, and 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.240 rip away all the ugly facades that we put on 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:28.560 the projector and image of you, a form of gunment 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:31.800 that's denying the power thereof and strip us down to 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:35.000 who we really are. For when you called Adam, you 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.760 call Adam, where art thou. I don't want your impostor. 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:41.359 I don't want you who you pretend to be. I 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:44.600 want who you are. Come out here where I can 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.399 see you. Stop hiding in between the leaves and the 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:50.800 trees of religion, and come out where we can have 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:51.840 a conversation. 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:54.960 You mean, oh God, do it for us in the 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:56.040 name of Jesus. 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:59.639 We pray somebody who's got a loud mouth, and you 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:08.880 let your children shout a man at the probably way. Yeah, yeah, 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:12.840 I knew I locked you. I knew I locked you 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:15.399 because what they ain't get on your nerves every now 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:19.760 and then you tell us sit down, and you don't 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.679 quote those scriptures that you don't sing no song, You 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:24.200 tell them just sit down. 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:27.400 He seated. 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:36.680 Let's go to what everywhere I go, there's travels everywhere 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:42.240 I go. The place where we struggle is not so 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:50.520 much conversion, it's transformation. We have the conversion down, pat 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:55.280 We know how to lead you to Jesus. We know 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:58.439 how to skip, and we know how to dance, and 0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:05.760 we know how to my daughter right. We know how 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:09.680 to do this real good. We know how to have conversion. 0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:14.960 But we go home to wrestle with the inability to 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:21.439 have transformation. And it takes so much energy to have 0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:27.560 conversion with out transformation. Now he begs us, by the 0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:32.159 mercies of God, that we present our bodies a living sacrifice. 0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:36.359 And when our Western when our Western mind, here is 0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:40.600 this Eastern phrase. We don't know what a sacrifice is. 0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:44.800 But a sacrifice is not a pretty sight. It's where 0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:49.280 an animal stretched east and west and north and south 0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:53.440 and tied to the altar and slaved with a knife 0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:57.879 to catch some blood in a trough and set on fire. 0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:01.200 He says, I want you to do that to you. 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:06.760 No wonder he's begging, because I don't know anybody in 0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:10.000 here who's running up here trying to take the knife. 0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:13.159 I don't know about anybody in here that wants to 0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:16.399 be burned. Whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, or 0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:19.840 black or white, or gray or green, or in between, 0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:22.840 or you don't care, it doesn't make any difference. None 0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:27.560 of us want to be burned. I don't see anybody saying, 0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:31.840 you know, send me to Hell. Yeah, I go. I 0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:38.520 need a son tan anyway, he has asked me to 0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:43.080 present my body, which is never done in the Old Testament. 0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:48.240 You never see a lamb kill himself. You never see 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:53.520 a goat commit suicide. All the sacrifices that have been 0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:56.480 offered up to God in the past did not come 0:23:56.520 --> 0:23:59.920 up their own accord. That were drug to the slough. 0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:03.760 They were grabbed and tied by the hands. They were 0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:07.680 nailed down, and they were squirming, and they died blading 0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:08.440 and bleeding. 0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:09.680 And it's an ugly. 0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:16.720 Business, because freedom is always an ugly business. The truth 0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:22.600 of the matter is Christianity is not pretty. Anything that 0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:26.919 represents itself through the icon of a cross a place 0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:32.920 of execution. It was execution to the Romans, non crucifixion. 0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:35.879 To be nailed to a bloody cross, striped neked in 0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:39.040 front of everybody. You've been teaching for three years is 0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:42.720 a little troubling. I'm glad my pants are held up. 0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:46.280 I pulled my belt real tight before I came out 0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:48.880 here because of all the things I have to worry 0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:50.919 about in my life, I do not want to have 0:24:51.000 --> 0:24:54.960 to worry about my pants falling down. And what thank 0:24:55.040 --> 0:25:00.520 you of me in that condition? I love these pants. 0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:07.040 They cover my shit, they cover my body, and this 0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:12.280 shirt it paints body and you really don't get to 0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:15.639 see me, but you see what I'm wearing. But the 0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:21.280 problem is God doesn't like fig leaves, and he doesn't 0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:23.760 like to be covered. He wants to be brought open. 0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:26.760 And we have this thing about us. Now we get saved, 0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:30.639 our instantly born again, born of the spirit. When we 0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:35.040 accept Christ as our savior, we're instantly born again changed. 0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:39.280 Right then we have an amazing experience with God that 0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:42.560 changes a lot of habits and stuff about us that 0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:45.360 needs to be changed, and maybe stopped us from committing 0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:50.320 suicide and hurting ourselves. It's great stuff. But then we 0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:56.240 have to go home and live it out. We have 0:25:56.359 --> 0:26:03.240 to in our living room with bills and stuff and 0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:09.159 laid off a job and broken in our heart and 0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:10.800 living with somebody who gets. 0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:12.919 On our nurves. 0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:16.400 And try to act like they don't get on our nerves, 0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:20.679 but they're getting on our neirs. And we have to 0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:26.679 have personality, and it's hard to have personality when you 0:26:26.720 --> 0:26:34.520 have idiosyncrasies. I wish we came with warning labels. I 0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:37.720 would love for God to put warning labels on our forehead. Hello, 0:26:38.200 --> 0:26:42.080 my name is Mary. I'm crazy as a drunk bed bug. 0:26:44.400 --> 0:26:46.600 Don't buy the fact that I'm cute and that I 0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:49.480 got nice eyes, because my eyes roll up in my 0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:52.720 head and I turn into the cooking monster. I am 0:26:52.840 --> 0:26:55.720 scared of people, and I don't like to be in crowds. 0:26:56.040 --> 0:26:58.400 I don't like to talk to when and accept when 0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:00.399 I want to talk, and I'll tell you when I 0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:02.640 want to talk. And then when I talk, I want 0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:04.879 to talk about stuff that doesn't make any difference. And 0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:08.240 I want you to listen and think it's important and 0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:11.280 respond the way I like to have you respond, because 0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:14.800 if you don't respond the way I like you to respond, 0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:20.880 it's going to be hell up in this house. It's 0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:23.320 gonna be absolute war up in this house. It's going 0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:27.880 to be trouble up in this house. Because it's not Sunday. 0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:40.080 It's Wednesday. It's Wednesday, and you make me sick. That's 0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:46.600 where Christ wants to go into our personality and figuring 0:27:46.640 --> 0:27:50.240 out how to get down past all the other stuff. 0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:54.120 He says, present your body a living sacrifice. And how 0:27:54.160 --> 0:27:55.400 do I tie myself? 0:27:59.000 --> 0:27:59.400 How do. 0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:05.919 How do I tie myself down? A little sacrifice? And 0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:08.280 the truth of the matter is there are hundreds of 0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:11.560 people in this room in one way or other who 0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:18.600 is trying desperately to tie up themselves. But how can 0:28:18.640 --> 0:28:21.840 I tie this hand and then have another hand loose 0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:25.520 to tie this hand? And don't get me started talking 0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:29.919 about these feet I got. This is not gonna be easy. 0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:34.080 I beseech you there for brethren, by the mercies of God, 0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:40.240 that you present your body a living sacrifice, holy unacceptable 0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:45.320 unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed. 0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:49.240 Don't you be conformed to the world and go the 0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:52.360 way that they're going to stop scrolling them in it. 0:28:52.440 --> 0:28:55.360 Don't be conformed to the world and the way it's 0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:58.720 if you stop here, stop all year. AYI don't be 0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:02.920 conformed to world and the way the world is going 0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:06.080 and bragging about how many gigabytes and how much power 0:29:06.120 --> 0:29:09.200 and how much this and how their algorithms were. Don't 0:29:09.240 --> 0:29:12.360 be conformed to the news and the media and the 0:29:12.400 --> 0:29:17.440 people and the personalities and the politics. Don't be conformed. 0:29:18.000 --> 0:29:21.400 Don't be conformed to this world. Don't mean we do 0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:23.880 the very thing he said not to do. We are 0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:29.240 conformed to this world. To this world. Have you ever 0:29:29.360 --> 0:29:31.640 I turned off the news sometimes just because I'm tired 0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:35.080 of hearing bad stuff against me. Nightmares makes me scared 0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:37.440 to sleep at night. I hear about all that stuff. 0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:39.120 I pray about it, but I got to learn how 0:29:39.160 --> 0:29:42.400 to release it, because I am not designed to carry 0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:48.520 that much pain on the inside. We popular Contrary to 0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:51.800 popular belief, we were not created with apple phones in 0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:56.920 our pocket. God did not mean for millions of people 0:29:57.040 --> 0:30:01.000 to walk around in your pocket about what's wrong with 0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:03.960 their life and what they don't like about you, and 0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:06.640 how you should fix your hair and you would look 0:30:06.680 --> 0:30:10.800 better if you were blonde. God did not design us 0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:15.120 to be inundated with other people's opinion to the point 0:30:15.200 --> 0:30:18.240 we care to hear what's going on because so much 0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:22.080 noise is coming from the outside that we cannot find 0:30:22.120 --> 0:30:25.640 the peaceful place to work on who we really are 0:30:25.960 --> 0:30:29.160 to become what he created us to be no wonder. 0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:31.920 He's looking for us, no wonder. The eyes of the 0:30:32.000 --> 0:30:34.720 Lord go to and fro throughout the earth to show 0:30:34.800 --> 0:30:38.280 himself strong, trying to find somebody that he can use. 0:30:38.320 --> 0:30:38.960 No wonder. 0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:42.640 God is searching in the cool of the morning, looking 0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:45.400 for Adam in the garden, and he can't find him 0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:48.400 because when he created him, he created him to look 0:30:48.600 --> 0:30:51.920 like God. He created him to be his mirror. He 0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:55.320 created him to be his reflection. He created it so 0:30:55.400 --> 0:30:58.240 he could see what he looked like. He created himself 0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:01.680 so there would be unity between heaven and earth, between 0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:06.520 holy and holy, between divine and divine, between spotless and spotless. 0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:10.200 He created him without a sin. He created him without 0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:13.760 a lustful thought or a hateful idea, or a person 0:31:13.840 --> 0:31:16.920 he wanted to choke till late turn blue. He did 0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:20.080 not create him like that. He created him to be 0:31:20.160 --> 0:31:24.800 a reflection of his love and his compassion and his grace, 0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:29.400 and for him to literally reflect the personality of God 0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:30.480 in the earth. 0:31:33.200 --> 0:31:35.560 And that's what he wants. 0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:35.400 For you. 0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:42.480 To really reflect the personality of God in earth. And 0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:44.400 that's why Hell hates you. 0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:49.920 That's why Hell attacks you early in your life to 0:31:50.040 --> 0:31:54.680 make sure that your personality is not the personality of God. 0:31:55.320 --> 0:31:58.040 He knows what God wants to do in your life, 0:31:58.280 --> 0:31:59.240 and he has to. 0:31:59.200 --> 0:32:01.320 Start the the plot early. 0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:06.200 See, it hasn't hit you yet that you're a world changer, 0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:10.520 that you're a giant killer, that you're a mountain mover, 0:32:11.240 --> 0:32:13.720 that you were meant to walk on water, that you 0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:16.920 are ahead and not the tail above and not. 0:32:17.000 --> 0:32:19.200 Beneath an overcomer. 0:32:19.520 --> 0:32:22.960 It hasn't hit you yet that you can command oceans 0:32:23.000 --> 0:32:27.040 and mountains and seas and waves. It hadn't hit you 0:32:27.160 --> 0:32:30.360 yet that you can stop the sun in the middle 0:32:30.360 --> 0:32:33.719 of there and say be still while I fight. It 0:32:33.760 --> 0:32:36.400 hadn't hit you yet that the power of life and 0:32:36.520 --> 0:32:40.080 death is in your tongue, and that whatsoever you say, 0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:43.160 you can have it. He wants to catch you early 0:32:43.480 --> 0:32:47.280 where you are fragile and frail and not sure of 0:32:47.320 --> 0:32:51.760 yourself and not stabilized in your formative years, when your 0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:55.320 brain is still pliable and falling and able to be 0:32:55.520 --> 0:32:58.800 shaped like clay in the hand of whoever touched him. 0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:00.720 Who touched me. 0:33:03.120 --> 0:33:13.080 Wasn't always God who touched me. Wasn't always God who 0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:17.600 made me the mad, angry woman I am was not God, 0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:23.600 who made me the distant aloof cold man. I am 0:33:24.880 --> 0:33:32.440 was not God. God is not the problem. God is cool. 0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:39.400 I'm down for God. I'm down for Jesus. It's all 0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:48.840 the people who touched me before he did. It is 0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:54.800 not my destiny that I'm worried about. It is the 0:33:54.880 --> 0:34:04.400 contamination of my history. And to be transformed. To be 0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:12.719 transformed is to take away the effects of my history. 0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:15.839 So I come to church to hear about my destiny. 0:34:17.280 --> 0:34:21.640 And my destiny sounds so wonderful, and he's good, and 0:34:21.680 --> 0:34:25.120 he's wonderful, and he's good all the time, and everything's wonderful, 0:34:25.120 --> 0:34:27.439 and bless the name of the Lord, and come into 0:34:27.440 --> 0:34:30.239 his house with thanksgiving. It's wonderful. And they tell me 0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:34.960 about my destiny. I'm a mountain mover, I'm an overcomer. 0:34:35.120 --> 0:34:37.439 I've got the power of God in me. To tell 0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:40.720 me about my destiny. They tell me that my mouth 0:34:41.040 --> 0:34:44.120 can speak and things can change. They tell me about 0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:47.520 my destiny. But when I leave the parking lot and 0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:56.480 drives smack dab into my history right, and my history contaminates. 0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:03.880 My history contaminates me. My destiny that kool aid changes 0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:13.560 water like wine changes when fermented it my destiny. My 0:35:13.640 --> 0:35:18.480 whole stuff comes creeping up into my new stuff, and 0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:23.440 I wrestle with my whole stuff and my new stuff, 0:35:23.840 --> 0:35:26.480 and they are posed one to the other. And when 0:35:26.520 --> 0:35:30.680 I would do good evil as present that which I 0:35:30.719 --> 0:35:34.799 would do, I do not old wretched man that I am, 0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:37.759 who should deliver me from the body of the dead. 0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:43.640 I'm a great digon that, I'm a wretched man. I'm 0:35:43.640 --> 0:35:48.680 a great believer. But you'd have to marry me to 0:35:48.719 --> 0:35:59.120 find out. I'm a broken man. See when you dated him, 0:35:59.520 --> 0:36:05.360 he was perfect, and you dated her. She told you 0:36:05.440 --> 0:36:08.040 if you needed anything, she'd take care of you at 0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:12.480 three o'clock in the morning, and everything was wonderful. And 0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:20.799 you married their representative, and you said you walked up 0:36:20.800 --> 0:36:25.200 there like a dummy and said, I do to somebody 0:36:25.480 --> 0:36:31.920 you haven't met yet. And before you know you've done it. 0:36:32.040 --> 0:36:35.040 You've done it. You do what you've done until you've 0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:38.120 done what you do, and you did it, and you've 0:36:38.239 --> 0:36:41.040 done what you did. When you do what you're done, 0:36:41.239 --> 0:36:44.440 when somebody you don't even know. For the first three years, 0:36:46.239 --> 0:36:49.960 little by little you peel the onion down and get 0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:56.399 past the superficial and find out their quirkiness, their craziness, 0:36:58.480 --> 0:37:12.600 their procrastination, they're indifference, they're missing dad syndrome, their critical 0:37:12.640 --> 0:37:18.200 mother syndrome. And quote all the scriptures you will. You 0:37:18.280 --> 0:37:24.279 cannot get that out of their person now. Their personality. 0:37:25.480 --> 0:37:35.040 Personality is not spiritual reality. I didn't marry your spirit. 0:37:38.239 --> 0:37:41.960 Your spirit is holy and perfect and complete before God. 0:37:42.280 --> 0:37:50.440 I didn't marry your spirit. I married you your personality. 0:37:51.560 --> 0:37:54.680 And now I am trying to be trying to figure 0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:55.960 out what's going on? You know? 0:37:57.080 --> 0:38:01.279 Can I take them innute? 0:38:03.280 --> 0:38:06.799 D I took my son to Spain cause he came 0:38:06.840 --> 0:38:09.360 at a time that I had to go overseas anyway, 0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:11.719 and I took my son's strain, and I was so 0:38:11.800 --> 0:38:14.640 glad to take him places that my father only read 0:38:14.680 --> 0:38:17.040 about him books and g had never been in themselves. 0:38:17.120 --> 0:38:18.960 I took him to Spain. It was amazing. We had 0:38:18.960 --> 0:38:21.560 a great time in Spain. I had never taken him 0:38:21.560 --> 0:38:24.000 to Spain before. And then they told me we were 0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:26.840 close to the Rock of Gibraltar. Now, I will be honest, 0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:30.160 I didn't exactly know what the Rock of Gibraltar was. 0:38:30.520 --> 0:38:33.040 I had heard of it, I read about it in school. 0:38:33.280 --> 0:38:35.359 I passed the test but I didn't go to bed 0:38:35.400 --> 0:38:39.520 every night thinking about the Rock of Gibraltar. It was 0:38:39.600 --> 0:38:43.959 not my life's dream to see the Rock of Gibraltar. 0:38:44.360 --> 0:38:47.040 I was born in West Virginia, in the mountains. I 0:38:47.080 --> 0:38:51.080 have seen enough rocks and mountains and hills, had violence 0:38:51.280 --> 0:38:54.040 and shoveled enough snow that I didn't go all the 0:38:54.080 --> 0:39:01.839 way to Spain to see a rock. If I'm going 0:39:01.920 --> 0:39:05.359 to Spain, let me go to the museums, and let 0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:08.360 me go to Barcelona, and let me go to Madrid, 0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:11.920 and let me go down on the cobblestone streets of 0:39:11.960 --> 0:39:16.359 a city that is thousands of years old. And now 0:39:16.400 --> 0:39:20.319 they're telling me to go to the Rock of Gibraltar. 0:39:20.600 --> 0:39:22.680 And there I am going to the Rock of Gibraltar, 0:39:23.040 --> 0:39:27.000 fourteen hundred feet in the air. And it's not a 0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:31.319 straight path. It's around winding roads and grinding here and 0:39:31.360 --> 0:39:34.799 there and everywhere. And I went there to the Rock 0:39:34.800 --> 0:39:38.160 of Gibraltar with my son, and because I'm his dad, 0:39:38.960 --> 0:39:44.080 like I know what I'm doing. Neither one of us 0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:47.439 know where we're going or what we're doing, or how 0:39:47.480 --> 0:39:49.839 to get there, or whether it matters. And our hole 0:39:49.960 --> 0:39:52.600 I know is that the air gets thinned when you 0:39:52.640 --> 0:39:55.759 get high in the air and fourteen hundred feet in 0:39:55.800 --> 0:40:01.239 the air and you fat, you skinny. People don't laugh 0:40:01.239 --> 0:40:03.839 if you don't understand what I'm talking about. You have 0:40:03.960 --> 0:40:07.600 to weigh over two hundred pounds to understand what fourteen 0:40:07.680 --> 0:40:11.319 hundred feet in the air does to your nostrils. It 0:40:11.640 --> 0:40:17.120 shrinks him down into baby nostrils, and you get you 0:40:17.200 --> 0:40:20.800 the baby nostrils down on the ENDSI and I'm trying 0:40:20.800 --> 0:40:23.400 to breathe and act like I'm okay. And I'm starting 0:40:23.440 --> 0:40:26.400 to see colors in front of my hair. I'm seeing 0:40:26.480 --> 0:40:29.160 colors and more colors that are in a rainbow. I'm 0:40:29.200 --> 0:40:32.000 seeing them everywhere. But I'm taking my son to the 0:40:32.080 --> 0:40:35.080 Rock of Gibraltar. Do you know how much history was 0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:36.320 at the Rock of Gibraltar? 0:40:36.400 --> 0:40:37.960 I didn't. Did you know? 0:40:39.000 --> 0:40:41.160 I didn't. I didn't know at all. I didn't know. 0:40:41.239 --> 0:40:42.840 I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know. You 0:40:42.880 --> 0:40:45.600 know how we are in America. The world ends and 0:40:45.680 --> 0:40:51.400 begins between New York and la We don't know about 0:40:51.400 --> 0:40:54.560 no place else, And not our Congress, not our legislator, 0:40:54.800 --> 0:40:57.839 not our people passing law. Most of them don't even 0:40:57.920 --> 0:41:03.400 have a passport. We made decisions about countries we have 0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:07.640 never been to, and we feel sorry and we send 0:41:07.719 --> 0:41:09.719 our thoughts and prayers when they die, but we don't 0:41:09.760 --> 0:41:15.439 really think they're real people like us. They are their 0:41:15.560 --> 0:41:20.680 caricatures on our TV screens and in our pockets and 0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:24.439 in our apps. And then we get on our app 0:41:24.480 --> 0:41:27.600 and let's see, we scroll through them, and we look 0:41:27.640 --> 0:41:31.120 at them. We pray for them sometimes, sometimes we pray 0:41:31.120 --> 0:41:33.840 for them. Sometimes we just keep scrolling because it's happening 0:41:33.960 --> 0:41:38.319 so much. It's happening everywhere. Everybody's drowning or burning or 0:41:38.400 --> 0:41:41.960 dying or being bombed or being newt and going through 0:41:42.040 --> 0:41:44.560 all kinds of trouble. And while they're going through all 0:41:44.600 --> 0:41:47.480 that trouble is not like you not having your own trouble. 0:41:47.800 --> 0:41:50.960 You're having your own trouble. Your daughter just cuts you 0:41:51.000 --> 0:41:53.359 out and slamming the door and says she didn't want 0:41:53.360 --> 0:41:55.719 to ever see you again in life. And you were 0:41:55.760 --> 0:41:58.160 the worst mother in the world. And you got to 0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:01.000 deal with that. You can't be put not fires and 0:42:01.160 --> 0:42:05.359 waters and planes and stop planes from crashing and deal 0:42:05.440 --> 0:42:08.080 with all You weren't made to deal with all of that, 0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:12.920 because by then you have developed your own brand of crazy, 0:42:14.640 --> 0:42:18.600 not craft mannaise, no, nothing like that. It hadn't been 0:42:18.640 --> 0:42:23.120 branded by anybody else. You have your own brand of crazy, 0:42:23.239 --> 0:42:26.560 your own devil. To fight the stuff you're afraid of, 0:42:26.880 --> 0:42:29.000 the stuff you have to deal with, the stuff you 0:42:29.120 --> 0:42:33.000 have to suppress, is enough to keep you up all night. 0:42:33.320 --> 0:42:36.360 It takes all of my energy to get Thomas not 0:42:36.560 --> 0:42:39.040 to say what he wants to say, because he has 0:42:39.120 --> 0:42:41.960 got a mouth on him that Grandma's soap will not 0:42:42.239 --> 0:42:45.359 wash off. And it takes all I can do. If 0:42:45.400 --> 0:42:47.719 you catch me in traffic and you haunt me the 0:42:47.760 --> 0:42:51.600 wrong way, it takes everything I got to say. God 0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:58.919 loves you, Yes he does, he loves you, Yes, yes, Yes, 0:42:58.960 --> 0:43:02.480 I'll meet you on the other side in heaven, and 0:43:02.600 --> 0:43:06.959 I won't cut you when we get there. It's all 0:43:07.000 --> 0:43:09.480 I can do to get him to shut his mouth 0:43:09.960 --> 0:43:13.480 because he reacts, and because he has built up a 0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:19.760 system of hiding himself and handling himself and dealing with hisself. 0:43:19.760 --> 0:43:21.960 And it may not be the right system, and it 0:43:22.000 --> 0:43:24.400 may not work, and it may not have anything to 0:43:24.480 --> 0:43:28.799 do with Church. But I have developed a pathology that 0:43:29.000 --> 0:43:32.840 enables me to live with me, and I can't figure 0:43:32.840 --> 0:43:36.480 out why you can't develop a pathology to live with 0:43:36.640 --> 0:43:39.719 me because I've worked on this for thirty years and 0:43:39.840 --> 0:43:41.160 I figured out how. 0:43:41.080 --> 0:43:41.680 To like me. 0:43:42.120 --> 0:43:44.640 And now that I have finally figured out how to 0:43:44.880 --> 0:43:47.440 like me, you act like you don't understand me, like 0:43:47.520 --> 0:43:48.160 I'm crazy. 0:43:49.320 --> 0:43:52.600 I'm not crazy. I have feeling. I have feeling about 0:43:52.680 --> 0:43:53.400 going through it up. 0:43:54.000 --> 0:43:58.040 I'm going through everything off by myself, and I don't know. 0:43:58.600 --> 0:44:01.239 And I carried my son to the Rock of Gibraltar 0:44:01.560 --> 0:44:04.520 and found out that's where all the fighting was since 0:44:04.520 --> 0:44:08.920 the early fifteen hundreds, Nation after nations had fought in 0:44:09.000 --> 0:44:12.160 that place. The Moores have fought in that place and 0:44:12.320 --> 0:44:15.640 on that place and hallowed out the inside of the mountain. 0:44:15.880 --> 0:44:16.440 It's hollow. 0:44:16.640 --> 0:44:18.839 You can go in there, and you can go up 0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:21.920 the ramp, and there are all kinds of cannons there, 0:44:22.080 --> 0:44:25.040 and you can shoot out of the Rock of Gibraltar. 0:44:25.280 --> 0:44:27.520 You can shoot at people and they can't hit you 0:44:27.640 --> 0:44:31.120 back easy. And so nation the nation fought to have 0:44:31.560 --> 0:44:34.760 control of that space. And since I was in Spain, 0:44:34.880 --> 0:44:37.200 I thought I would go to the Rock of Gibraltar. 0:44:37.239 --> 0:44:39.319 And I got to the Rock of Gibraltar and I 0:44:39.440 --> 0:44:42.320 brought my franks there so that I could buy something 0:44:42.320 --> 0:44:44.520 while I was there, because I'm gonna buy something there 0:44:44.560 --> 0:44:48.320 and buy something. Part of my ministry is to buy something. 0:44:49.120 --> 0:44:54.279 I am called to buy something. I am annoying to 0:44:54.560 --> 0:44:56.520 buy something. I don't care what it is. I'm going 0:44:56.560 --> 0:45:00.960 to buy something. I was born in West Virginia, a 0:45:01.000 --> 0:45:05.160 little black boy with ashenees in West Virginia, with basoline 0:45:05.160 --> 0:45:08.120 for lotion on his kneecaps. And if I go all 0:45:08.160 --> 0:45:15.640 the way to Spain, I'm going to buy something. I'm 0:45:15.680 --> 0:45:19.600 going to buy something. And I drive in there to 0:45:19.760 --> 0:45:22.120 buy something, and I'm getting ready to go into the 0:45:22.160 --> 0:45:25.080 air where the Rock of Gibraltar was, And you know what, 0:45:25.680 --> 0:45:28.359 I had to show my passport to get in and 0:45:28.400 --> 0:45:30.640 pay a fee to get where they wanted me to 0:45:30.680 --> 0:45:33.120 go and do all of that. And they told me 0:45:33.680 --> 0:45:40.560 that they didn't take Franks. And I'm in Spain, and 0:45:40.680 --> 0:45:44.120 what do you mean that what was valuable over here 0:45:45.280 --> 0:45:49.880 is not valuable over there? That this one patch of 0:45:50.080 --> 0:45:54.080 ground that you call the Rock of Gibraltar is controlled 0:45:54.800 --> 0:46:01.719 by the Euros being kingdom. And they used and I 0:46:01.800 --> 0:46:06.560 didn't bring no bounds. They didn't tell me that you 0:46:06.640 --> 0:46:09.560 could have one little patch of ground out of all 0:46:09.640 --> 0:46:13.279 over country that belonged to somebody else. They didn't tell 0:46:13.320 --> 0:46:16.279 me that they fought for it, and died for it, 0:46:16.520 --> 0:46:20.040 and bled for it to control it. Because it is 0:46:20.080 --> 0:46:23.520 a sight where you can see nations. You can stand 0:46:23.560 --> 0:46:26.239 on one nation and see the other nation. You can 0:46:26.239 --> 0:46:29.480 see the northern tip of Africa, you can see Morocco. 0:46:29.800 --> 0:46:32.800 You can see all kinds of stuff from that point. 0:46:32.960 --> 0:46:33.759 It's a high place. 0:46:33.800 --> 0:46:34.040 Why. 0:46:34.200 --> 0:46:36.239 That's why in the Bible and the Old Testament you 0:46:36.320 --> 0:46:40.440 always hear that God wants to move your hot places 0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:43.080 because of high places. And the high places are the 0:46:43.080 --> 0:46:48.040 places of strategic advantage. It is hard to kiss your 0:46:48.200 --> 0:46:52.000 enemy if your enemy is over you. That's why they 0:46:52.080 --> 0:46:58.359 never put your brain in your foot. Because I can 0:46:58.440 --> 0:47:00.480 drag my foot, even as old as as I am. 0:47:00.520 --> 0:47:02.719 I can get my foot up close enough that I 0:47:02.719 --> 0:47:04.839 can work on it if I have to. Don't tell 0:47:04.840 --> 0:47:07.600 my wife because like I'm crippled, so should take care 0:47:07.600 --> 0:47:09.920 of it from me. But I can actually, if I 0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:12.000 need to, I can do that. But God did not 0:47:12.160 --> 0:47:15.600 put my brain in my foot. He put it in 0:47:15.680 --> 0:47:19.279 my head. Because I got a deal with the high places. 0:47:19.719 --> 0:47:22.799 That's where I shoot from. That's where my cannons go 0:47:22.960 --> 0:47:26.520 off from That's where my cannons go off, whether they're 0:47:26.560 --> 0:47:31.040 pointed out or in. Can I deep? Can I go 0:47:31.120 --> 0:47:35.360 deeper that my cannons go off? That's what That's what 0:47:35.480 --> 0:47:36.239 you get out till. 0:47:36.160 --> 0:47:36.640 You marry me. 0:47:36.760 --> 0:47:41.160 You married your girlfriend, you went home with your wife, 0:47:41.880 --> 0:47:46.080 You married your boyfriend, and you go home with your husband. 0:47:47.680 --> 0:47:51.360 You married the person who showered and got ready and 0:47:51.400 --> 0:47:54.160 got dressed and put on cologne, extra cologne. In fact, 0:47:54.200 --> 0:47:56.399 I couldn't breathe, and you put up from us clock 0:47:56.640 --> 0:47:58.640 and you came out and you were ready for me. 0:47:58.840 --> 0:48:01.200 And it was occasionally. I didn't know I was gonna 0:48:01.239 --> 0:48:03.000 have to wake up to you every day with bad 0:48:03.080 --> 0:48:06.160 breadth and hair all over your head and find out 0:48:06.200 --> 0:48:08.400 that you leave your drawers in the middle of the floor, 0:48:08.680 --> 0:48:11.239 and that you don't keep it up to yourself, and 0:48:11.280 --> 0:48:13.920 you use the bathroom and don't wash your hands. And 0:48:13.960 --> 0:48:16.080 now I got to deal with all of that. And 0:48:16.160 --> 0:48:17.640 I didn't know that was possible. 0:48:18.360 --> 0:48:18.560 Is it? 0:48:18.600 --> 0:48:20.560 Okay? Did I go too far? Okay? 0:48:20.760 --> 0:48:23.279 I'm right on the edge. I'm right on here, and 0:48:23.280 --> 0:48:24.959 I'm stay on the edge. I'm stay on their edge. 0:48:25.080 --> 0:48:27.880 I'm gonna stay on the edge, because the Bible just 0:48:27.960 --> 0:48:31.239 told me that I have to deal with things from 0:48:31.239 --> 0:48:34.920 the rock at Gibraltar. I need a post that I 0:48:34.960 --> 0:48:38.239 can shoot out. I need an area that protects me, 0:48:38.920 --> 0:48:42.360 and the area that I build to protect me also 0:48:42.600 --> 0:48:48.759 incarceraates me. And now I am protected, but I am 0:48:48.800 --> 0:48:52.920 also isolated, and you can't hurt me. Say whatever you 0:48:53.040 --> 0:48:56.600 want to say, row your eyes, texting about me right now, 0:48:56.840 --> 0:48:59.360 tweet if me, if you want to take a picture 0:48:59.360 --> 0:49:01.759 and put it on Facebook right now. Because I have 0:49:01.960 --> 0:49:07.680 developed a system, you will not getting me. I ain't 0:49:07.880 --> 0:49:13.360 thinking about you. I don't even know you. You can be 0:49:13.400 --> 0:49:15.800 sleeping up under the bridge somewhere. I don't care whether 0:49:15.800 --> 0:49:19.440 you like my hair or not. I'm not gonna give 0:49:19.480 --> 0:49:22.279 you that much power over me. I have developed a 0:49:22.400 --> 0:49:26.560 system to handle all of that, even if it's cutting off. 0:49:27.800 --> 0:49:31.000 Do you know my wife has two phones and don't 0:49:31.040 --> 0:49:35.200 answer neither one of them. Honest to God, I'm telling 0:49:35.239 --> 0:49:38.319 the truth. I do not understand why she needs two phones. 0:49:38.360 --> 0:49:42.400 She got two different phone numbers, two different phones all together, 0:49:42.800 --> 0:49:47.000 and she never can find either one of them. Sometimes 0:49:47.000 --> 0:49:50.640 she's looking at it while it's ringing, and it does 0:49:50.680 --> 0:49:53.840 not bother her. That the phone is ringing. She walks 0:49:53.920 --> 0:49:57.520 past the phone ringing and keeps on singing what she's singing, 0:49:57.760 --> 0:50:01.200 And she's refusing to let that mas many people get 0:50:01.239 --> 0:50:03.600 in her life and get in her head, and get 0:50:03.600 --> 0:50:07.640 in her mind and get into her spirit. She has 0:50:07.680 --> 0:50:12.680 to be transformed by the renewing of her mind. And 0:50:12.800 --> 0:50:15.640 sometimes we build up ways to be transformed by the 0:50:15.640 --> 0:50:19.560 renewing of our mind. I've been studying this for a week. 0:50:20.280 --> 0:50:26.960 Our brain is designed to deliver enzymes and hormones that 0:50:27.160 --> 0:50:32.520 secrete fluids in us that helps with us steal with 0:50:32.640 --> 0:50:37.880 what's on our mind. And we got a lot on 0:50:37.920 --> 0:50:42.560 our mind. And I've been reading a book, an old 0:50:42.600 --> 0:50:45.800 book written by an old author or doctors, who said, 0:50:46.040 --> 0:50:51.280 the body keeps score. You read it, the body keeps score. 0:50:52.000 --> 0:50:55.200 So everything I didn't say, and everything I held in, 0:50:55.440 --> 0:50:58.600 and everything I suppressed, and everything I wouldn't get out, 0:50:59.080 --> 0:51:03.920 the body kept score. The body kept scoring. And so 0:51:04.000 --> 0:51:09.640 I survived. Heroes, I survived, heroes, I survived. I survived. 0:51:09.800 --> 0:51:16.759 But just because I survived doesn't mean I succeeded. Can 0:51:16.800 --> 0:51:21.000 I teach this? And now the Bible has said to 0:51:21.120 --> 0:51:24.319 me that I can be transformed by the renewing of 0:51:24.400 --> 0:51:27.600 my mind. Oh no, wait, wait a minute, i'mosad to 0:51:27.600 --> 0:51:29.640 the rock and Gibraltar. I got a finish say that 0:51:29.800 --> 0:51:32.080 I was at the rocky Gibraltar. And I went all 0:51:32.080 --> 0:51:34.000 the way through the rocky Gibraltars and went on the 0:51:34.040 --> 0:51:36.319 house side of Rock of Gibraltar, and my son is 0:51:36.320 --> 0:51:37.920 with me, and I got to the top of the 0:51:38.000 --> 0:51:40.640 rock and there's all of these monkeys. Yeah, I gotta 0:51:40.640 --> 0:51:42.920 tell you about the monkeys. And all these monkeys are there. 0:51:43.160 --> 0:51:45.600 There were monkeys up. There were monkeys on my car. 0:51:46.160 --> 0:51:48.759 There were monkeys on the window. There were monkeys on 0:51:48.800 --> 0:51:51.000 the back window. And they were talking about how cute 0:51:51.040 --> 0:51:54.080 the monkeys were. And the monkeys was leaving little white 0:51:54.120 --> 0:51:57.840 spots on everything. And they weren't quite execute as I 0:51:57.880 --> 0:52:00.799 thought they were. They were all everything, but it was 0:52:00.960 --> 0:52:03.920 so so nice, It was so wonderful. 0:52:04.040 --> 0:52:06.440 You felt so likely you were in another country. 0:52:06.440 --> 0:52:09.040 Always monkeys, and I had the monkeys everywhere, and the 0:52:09.040 --> 0:52:11.880 monkeys were everywhere, and the monkeys were everywhere, and I 0:52:11.920 --> 0:52:15.360 started noticing they were something weird about these monkeys. 0:52:16.440 --> 0:52:16.920 And see, I. 0:52:17.080 --> 0:52:21.719 Watched too much TV. I watched these movies where the 0:52:21.800 --> 0:52:26.480 monkeys start talking to each other. You ever watched the monkeys? 0:52:26.480 --> 0:52:29.520 Where do the monkeys start driving cars? And the monkeys 0:52:29.520 --> 0:52:32.920 started mediating with each other, and they start calling one another, 0:52:32.960 --> 0:52:35.120 and they come through the trees and everything. And I 0:52:35.160 --> 0:52:36.880 know that there was a whole lot of gathering around 0:52:36.880 --> 0:52:38.879 my car, a whole lot of them around my car. 0:52:38.920 --> 0:52:40.239 I had fought one of two of them, but it 0:52:40.360 --> 0:52:42.680 was a whole lot of them around my car. And 0:52:42.719 --> 0:52:44.520 they were all around my car. And it was all 0:52:44.560 --> 0:52:47.239 of these monkeys. And you know what was weird about them. 0:52:47.719 --> 0:52:53.280 They didn't have no tails. They didn't have no tails. 0:52:53.560 --> 0:52:56.399 And my gud told me when the monkeys first came 0:52:56.480 --> 0:52:59.840 to the Rock and Gibraltar, they were born with tails. 0:53:01.280 --> 0:53:06.320 Monkey tales, you know monkey tales. They have monkey tales. 0:53:06.520 --> 0:53:09.640 But the tail is so small, just a little bit 0:53:09.640 --> 0:53:13.080 of gristle and meat. The tail is so small. And 0:53:13.120 --> 0:53:18.200 the winter changes in Gibraltar, and it gets cold in Gibraltar, 0:53:18.480 --> 0:53:24.759 and in the winter, you know what happened, don't stop me. 0:53:25.239 --> 0:53:36.080 You know what happened. They froze their tail off. They 0:53:36.280 --> 0:53:42.680 actually froze their tail off. And you know what else. 0:53:43.400 --> 0:53:46.400 The next time, the next generation, when they had babies, 0:53:46.920 --> 0:53:52.680 they had tails too, and they froze their tail off. 0:53:54.080 --> 0:53:54.799 You're gonna leave. 0:53:54.719 --> 0:53:57.480 Out here and tell everybody I appreciate about monkey tales, 0:53:57.520 --> 0:54:00.799 aren't you? Don't you tell her about I said that 0:54:00.880 --> 0:54:04.399 about freezing their tails off? Don't you do that that? 0:54:04.400 --> 0:54:07.160 That doesn't sound real preachery, So don't do that. They 0:54:07.239 --> 0:54:10.080 might take it out of context and put it on Instagram. 0:54:10.160 --> 0:54:12.840 Lord at Mercy, I forgot. It's gonna probably be on 0:54:12.880 --> 0:54:15.560 Instagram now, and that's gonna be one more thing I'm 0:54:15.560 --> 0:54:18.719 gonna have to scroll past and ignore them because they're 0:54:18.760 --> 0:54:23.280 all in on that that that they froze their tails off. 0:54:23.800 --> 0:54:26.960 And you know what, by the third generation, they were 0:54:27.000 --> 0:54:34.920 born without tails. Wow, they stop being born with tails 0:54:36.760 --> 0:54:43.040 so they wouldn't freeze them off. And suddenly I understood 0:54:43.120 --> 0:54:54.520 something I never understood why Jesus said, if your hand offends, you. 0:54:52.120 --> 0:54:52.600 Cut it off. 0:54:52.600 --> 0:54:54.680 Because I'm a literalist. When you tell me something, I 0:54:54.840 --> 0:54:57.680 take you seriously. So if you tell me to jump 0:54:57.719 --> 0:54:59.799 on him, I'm gonna jump on him. We figure out 0:54:59.800 --> 0:55:03.880 what happen later. I'm jumping. I'm gonna jump right now. 0:55:03.960 --> 0:55:06.000 I'm gonna jump That first time I went to Africa, 0:55:06.080 --> 0:55:08.560 the big crowd of people, and they were so excited 0:55:08.560 --> 0:55:10.840 and they were praying, and they all wanted delivering. I 0:55:11.000 --> 0:55:13.440 just dived, you know, like they're doing it. I just 0:55:13.760 --> 0:55:16.920 dived out in the crowd. They almost killed me. They 0:55:17.000 --> 0:55:20.440 almost killed me. They took my ring, they was pulling 0:55:20.480 --> 0:55:25.080 on my clothes. They take prayers so seriously, they take prayers, 0:55:25.120 --> 0:55:32.160 soul seriously, they take prayer so seriously. My son and 0:55:32.200 --> 0:55:35.400 I on the top of the rockets Gibraltar, and the 0:55:35.480 --> 0:55:45.560 monkeys have stopped growing what they didn't need. What are 0:55:45.600 --> 0:55:52.799 you growing? Yeah, that you don't need. What are you 0:55:52.920 --> 0:55:56.759 growing from? Where you used to live? And you don't 0:55:56.760 --> 0:56:01.319 live there anymore, But you still got your tail as 0:56:01.360 --> 0:56:04.160 if you were someplace else. And now God has called 0:56:04.160 --> 0:56:06.760 you to the mountains and you're in a better place 0:56:06.920 --> 0:56:09.560 and you're a better person, and you're higher than you've 0:56:09.600 --> 0:56:13.040 ever been, and you got the opportunity of a lifetime, 0:56:13.640 --> 0:56:20.840 and you still got your tail. And that's what I 0:56:20.920 --> 0:56:25.560 learned in did rocors bro To and somedenly I understood 0:56:25.880 --> 0:56:29.520 what Christ meant, cut your hand off. If your hand 0:56:29.560 --> 0:56:32.080 to fens, you cut it off. He mean, if there's 0:56:32.160 --> 0:56:36.600 anything you know about you that's messing you up. Fix it, 0:56:38.520 --> 0:56:40.200 Just change your mind, right it? 0:56:41.360 --> 0:56:46.920 Just fix it. Just fix it. 0:56:48.360 --> 0:56:50.719 Don't just dance and skip and jump and hoop and 0:56:50.760 --> 0:56:53.560 hollar and make all kind of noise and go home 0:56:53.600 --> 0:56:56.920 and make excuses for yourself and give yourself a license 0:56:57.200 --> 0:57:05.359 to be dysfunctional. Just fix it. If it's you don't 0:57:05.360 --> 0:57:07.600 know how to apologize and you don't know how to 0:57:07.600 --> 0:57:09.839 say I'm sorry, or you don't know how to work 0:57:09.880 --> 0:57:12.880 with somebody who didn't say I'm sorry to you, or 0:57:13.360 --> 0:57:16.560 if it's that you doubt your own masculinity and you 0:57:16.600 --> 0:57:19.439 don't trust your own femininity, and now you don't even 0:57:19.480 --> 0:57:22.320 know what either one of them is because I'm so confused. 0:57:22.400 --> 0:57:25.360 I don't know a duck from a pigeon, I don't 0:57:25.400 --> 0:57:27.920 know anything, and you're trying to figure out all of that, 0:57:28.000 --> 0:57:33.920 whatever it is that you are dealing with. Just fix it. 0:57:33.960 --> 0:57:40.600 Easier said than done, real hard work. Let's just praise 0:57:40.640 --> 0:57:46.320 so lord. Let's just dance and leave the inside unfixed. 0:57:49.520 --> 0:57:57.160 Let's not take on the big fight of change. Do 0:57:57.200 --> 0:57:59.320 you know when the prodigal Sun was in the mud. 0:58:00.600 --> 0:58:02.800 He was in the mud. Yeah, I got even, okay, 0:58:02.800 --> 0:58:06.960 I got it. He was in the mud and everything 0:58:07.000 --> 0:58:10.000 in cover with mud and everything. And he didn't have 0:58:10.120 --> 0:58:12.680 anything to eat except for what the swine did eat. 0:58:13.000 --> 0:58:16.439 And he was sitting in the hall pen and he 0:58:16.520 --> 0:58:21.280 came to himself. That's a weird scripture. He came to himself. 0:58:21.520 --> 0:58:25.320 He came to himself. Came means a journey, means a distance, 0:58:25.400 --> 0:58:28.040 means that travel. It means it took me some time 0:58:28.440 --> 0:58:33.000 to come to myself. He came to himself. That is 0:58:33.080 --> 0:58:34.200 the baddest scripture. 0:58:34.320 --> 0:58:35.200 I dare you. 0:58:35.320 --> 0:58:39.120 I can preach on that all night. He came to himself. 0:58:39.400 --> 0:58:42.080 Not he came to Georgia, he came to Memphis, he 0:58:42.120 --> 0:58:47.240 came to California. No, he came to himself. It takes 0:58:47.240 --> 0:58:49.600 you a long time to come to yourself. And you 0:58:49.640 --> 0:58:52.360 can lose a lot of people while you come to yourself. 0:58:52.600 --> 0:58:54.680 And you can damage a lot of people while you 0:58:54.800 --> 0:58:58.640 come to yourself, and you can lose opportunity after opportunity 0:58:58.880 --> 0:59:02.120 that God has for you. Because you won't come to yourself. 0:59:02.720 --> 0:59:06.800 You will not confront yourself, You will not be transformed 0:59:07.320 --> 0:59:13.480 by the renewing of your mind. You will not let 0:59:13.600 --> 0:59:18.280 somebody borrow your body. A new personality come inside of 0:59:18.320 --> 0:59:21.360 your body and walk around in your clothes, in in 0:59:21.480 --> 0:59:25.040 your shoes. The nicer you, the better you, the stronger you, 0:59:25.440 --> 0:59:29.240 the more intense you, the more loving you, the more 0:59:29.320 --> 0:59:34.920 communicative you, the more kind you wants to take over 0:59:35.040 --> 0:59:39.320 your body until a new personality lives in your body 0:59:39.480 --> 0:59:43.280 and you have joy on more than Sunday, more than Sunday. 0:59:43.440 --> 0:59:46.160 You can have joy on more than Sunday, more than Sunday. 0:59:46.200 --> 0:59:48.880 You can have joy. You can have Joey unspeakable, full 0:59:48.920 --> 0:59:50.880 of truth and glory. You can have joy when you 0:59:50.920 --> 0:59:52.840 go home. You have joy in your car. You can 0:59:52.880 --> 0:59:54.600 have joy in your house and in your life and 0:59:54.640 --> 0:59:57.240 in your spirit. You can have joy in a trailer. 0:59:57.560 --> 0:59:59.720 You can have joy in a park. You can have 0:59:59.800 --> 1:00:03.400 Joe anywhere. You can have joy in your spirit right now, 1:00:03.520 --> 1:00:06.400 right now, right now. You can decide in your mind 1:00:06.520 --> 1:00:09.919 right now, I am through being who I was. I'm 1:00:10.000 --> 1:00:13.120 tired of that. I don't like her. I don't like him. 1:00:13.320 --> 1:00:16.640 He's messing me up. He's canceling out my chances. He's 1:00:16.720 --> 1:00:20.520 killing my future, he's destroying my career. He's tearing up 1:00:20.560 --> 1:00:23.920 my marriage, he's turning up my relationship. And I am 1:00:24.000 --> 1:00:26.600 going to get rid of him. I'm going to be 1:00:26.800 --> 1:00:29.600 transformed by the renewing of my mind. 1:00:30.120 --> 1:00:31.560 My mind, my. 1:00:31.680 --> 1:00:34.840 Mind is my rock of Gibraltar. My mind is my 1:00:35.000 --> 1:00:38.200 rock of Gibraltar. That's where I shoot from. That's where 1:00:38.240 --> 1:00:41.040 I preach from. That's where I fight from. That's where 1:00:41.080 --> 1:00:44.280 I teach from. Out of my head. Out of my head. 1:00:44.360 --> 1:00:46.640 I gotta get it right in my head. That's where 1:00:46.640 --> 1:00:48.920 the war is between the devil and God. 1:00:49.040 --> 1:00:49.800 Is in my head. 1:00:49.880 --> 1:00:52.360 It's in my mind, it's in my thoughts, it's in 1:00:52.440 --> 1:00:55.000 my thinking, it's in my ways. And I I don't 1:00:55.000 --> 1:00:57.040 care if I win the battle at work, and win 1:00:57.120 --> 1:00:59.520 the battle with the car and fix the pipes in 1:00:59.560 --> 1:01:01.800 the freeze and do all of that, and cut the 1:01:01.840 --> 1:01:05.200 crass and trim the hedges to their stree, if I 1:01:05.320 --> 1:01:08.960 don't fix the hell that's in my head, I will 1:01:09.040 --> 1:01:12.400 never be free and I will never behold man. I 1:01:12.400 --> 1:01:14.960 will never be what God wants me to be. And 1:01:15.280 --> 1:01:18.480 I want to be free. I want to be free. 1:01:18.840 --> 1:01:21.280 I want to be free in my mind. I want 1:01:21.320 --> 1:01:23.919 to be free in my spirit. I want to be free. 1:01:24.000 --> 1:01:26.200 I want to be free. I want to be free. 1:01:26.360 --> 1:01:29.360 I don't want to die and haven't been free. I 1:01:29.400 --> 1:01:31.680 want to be free. I want to be free so 1:01:31.800 --> 1:01:34.520 much that I sing in the shower. I want to 1:01:34.560 --> 1:01:37.520 be so free that I can sing on the back porch. 1:01:37.640 --> 1:01:40.120 I want to be so free that I get on 1:01:40.160 --> 1:01:43.680 my neighbour's nerves because I sing out of tune. I 1:01:43.720 --> 1:01:46.320 want to be so free that I have peace and 1:01:46.400 --> 1:01:49.840 power on the inside. And I can't understand why I 1:01:49.880 --> 1:01:55.920 can't let go of my tail. If I let go 1:01:56.360 --> 1:02:00.520 on my tail, if I am willing to off that 1:02:00.760 --> 1:02:05.040 hand because it offends me, if I am willing to 1:02:05.080 --> 1:02:09.000 cut out that tongue because it offends me, offends me, 1:02:09.280 --> 1:02:12.520 only means that's the only thing standing in between you 1:02:12.880 --> 1:02:15.680 and what God wants to give you. If you cut 1:02:15.800 --> 1:02:18.560 that one thing off, that one thing, do you hear 1:02:18.600 --> 1:02:21.080 me this morning? That one thing, If you cut that 1:02:21.200 --> 1:02:24.880 one thing off, if you stop being so insistent that 1:02:25.000 --> 1:02:27.560 you gotta be who you you used to be. If 1:02:27.600 --> 1:02:30.520 you cut that one thing off, you shall eat of 1:02:30.640 --> 1:02:33.040 the fat of the land. God will put you in 1:02:33.160 --> 1:02:36.400 goodly houses. He will open doors for you. He will 1:02:36.400 --> 1:02:39.600 make ways for you. He will strengthen you, he will 1:02:39.640 --> 1:02:43.440 bless you. He will overshadow you, he will overcome you. 1:02:43.800 --> 1:02:46.959 He will make you smarter. He'll make you brighter. He'll 1:02:47.000 --> 1:02:50.640 make you a better mother, a better father, a better friend, 1:02:50.920 --> 1:02:53.520 a better person. If you'll cut off that one thing, 1:02:53.880 --> 1:02:56.320 If you'll cut off that one thing, why are you 1:02:56.440 --> 1:03:00.280 loyal to something you don't need anymore? It's freezing you. 1:03:00.280 --> 1:03:04.400 You're freezing your tail off. You're freezing your career, You're 1:03:04.480 --> 1:03:07.960 freezing your marriage, You're freezing your home life. You're freezing 1:03:08.040 --> 1:03:11.680 your ministry. You're freezing the best part of your ministry. 1:03:11.920 --> 1:03:14.480 The best part of your ministry is in your tears 1:03:14.760 --> 1:03:17.440 and in your brokenness and in your fears, and you 1:03:17.640 --> 1:03:20.320 just keeping it real and just being to who you are. 1:03:20.560 --> 1:03:23.280 The best part of you as a wife is that broken, 1:03:23.440 --> 1:03:28.080 crazy you secrecies that you have. If that's what's cute 1:03:28.120 --> 1:03:30.960 about you, If you just freeze it all, if you 1:03:31.200 --> 1:03:33.760 just freeze off the thing that's stopping you from being 1:03:33.840 --> 1:03:37.280 all you can be, you could change your life and 1:03:37.400 --> 1:03:41.560 be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. So 1:03:41.720 --> 1:03:44.360 the prodigal son is in the hat pin and he 1:03:44.480 --> 1:03:47.440 has no money, and he has nothing to eat, and 1:03:47.520 --> 1:03:50.840 he's spent all his father's stuff in riots he's living, 1:03:51.080 --> 1:03:53.960 and all the prostitutes have left him, and all the 1:03:54.040 --> 1:03:56.560 friends have left him, and he's in the hall pen, 1:03:56.640 --> 1:03:58.840 and you can tell you're in the hat pin with 1:03:59.080 --> 1:04:02.240 something that don't even to appeal to you, suddenly starts 1:04:02.240 --> 1:04:04.480 to appeal to you. And all of a sudden he 1:04:04.560 --> 1:04:07.640 wants to eat what the swine did eat. He's a 1:04:07.800 --> 1:04:11.360 jew boy. He doesn't even eat eat swine, much less 1:04:11.400 --> 1:04:14.520 what the swine did he eat. And with flies all 1:04:14.560 --> 1:04:18.480 around his hair, and that's in his face and slump 1:04:18.600 --> 1:04:22.320 on his clothes, something happened to him right there, not 1:04:22.440 --> 1:04:24.840 in the sanctuary, not in the church, not in the choir, 1:04:25.120 --> 1:04:27.720 not in the praise him, not in the balcony, not 1:04:27.840 --> 1:04:30.400 sitting in the bank, not sitting up front, not leaving 1:04:30.480 --> 1:04:32.840 up down in there, he was in the hog pen. 1:04:32.960 --> 1:04:39.480 And he came to himself. And when he came to himself, 1:04:39.680 --> 1:04:42.720 he said, I'm gonna cut my tail off. Being stubborn. 1:04:42.800 --> 1:04:46.920 He's killing me, is killing my opportunity. I will arise 1:04:47.400 --> 1:04:51.760 and go to my father's house. I'll swallow my pride 1:04:52.040 --> 1:04:54.720 and go to my father's house and say I am 1:04:54.760 --> 1:04:57.680 no more worthy to be thy son. Make me as 1:04:57.720 --> 1:05:00.160 one of your heart servants. And he practiced, this is 1:05:00.200 --> 1:05:02.440 what he was going to say. All the way home. 1:05:02.600 --> 1:05:04.920 He hadn't even gotten to his father yet. He was 1:05:05.000 --> 1:05:07.760 just practicing what he was going to say. And while 1:05:07.800 --> 1:05:10.160 he was practicing it and getting in his head what 1:05:10.280 --> 1:05:12.560 he was going to say, while he was yet a 1:05:12.680 --> 1:05:16.040 great ways off, his father looked down the road and 1:05:16.240 --> 1:05:19.400 saw him coming. And the Bible says, the old man 1:05:19.720 --> 1:05:23.520 ran out to meet him. I'm sixty eight years old. 1:05:23.720 --> 1:05:25.480 Let me tell you something. It takes something to make 1:05:25.520 --> 1:05:29.240 me run. Now, at twenty eight, I would run over anything. 1:05:29.280 --> 1:05:31.720 But if you see me running at sixty eight, you 1:05:31.800 --> 1:05:35.360 better run too, because some chasing me. The father ran. 1:05:35.840 --> 1:05:38.880 The father ran to meet him. He ran to meet him, 1:05:39.040 --> 1:05:41.840 and he was wrong, because he was practicing for a 1:05:41.960 --> 1:05:46.400 father he had in his mind who would accuse him. 1:05:46.600 --> 1:05:49.280 He wasn't practicing for the father that would run out 1:05:49.320 --> 1:05:52.480 to meet him and cover him up and put him 1:05:52.520 --> 1:05:55.800 in a good place and set a party together and 1:05:55.920 --> 1:05:58.439 killed the fatid calf and open up the door. 1:05:58.520 --> 1:06:00.200 He didn't even know that he. 1:06:00.200 --> 1:06:03.280 Had that kind of father, because all those years he 1:06:03.360 --> 1:06:06.520 had kept his tail, and his tail had stopped him 1:06:06.640 --> 1:06:09.760 from seeing who his father really was. But while he 1:06:09.880 --> 1:06:13.960 was still funky and smelly and NAT's all around. The 1:06:14.080 --> 1:06:17.560 Father wrapped a robe around him and sent the servants 1:06:17.600 --> 1:06:20.040 out to get ready for him, and put a ring 1:06:20.240 --> 1:06:23.360 on his finger, and brought him in all of a sudden. 1:06:23.560 --> 1:06:26.520 The only thing he changed. He didn't change his hair, 1:06:26.880 --> 1:06:29.720 he didn't change his clothes. He didn't change his car. 1:06:30.040 --> 1:06:33.000 He didn't change his goat, he didn't change his lamb. 1:06:33.320 --> 1:06:36.560 He didn't change his speech, he didn't change how he looked. 1:06:36.760 --> 1:06:39.120 He didn't change anything else. The only thing he. 1:06:39.240 --> 1:06:41.240 Changed was he changed his mind. 1:06:41.640 --> 1:06:45.760 And when he changed his mind, he experienced the Father 1:06:46.200 --> 1:06:48.840 in a way that he never experienced the Father before. 1:06:49.240 --> 1:06:50.640 I want you to stand up on. 1:06:50.720 --> 1:06:53.920 Your feet, and y'all want you to make up in 1:06:53.960 --> 1:06:57.240 your mind. I got some changing to do. I'm going 1:06:57.320 --> 1:07:00.439 to be transformed by the renewing of my mind. I'm 1:07:00.440 --> 1:07:03.960 going to be transformed by the renewing of my mind. 1:07:04.200 --> 1:07:06.280 I got one more thing to say to you, and 1:07:06.440 --> 1:07:08.840 how to be finished. I have heard the scripture all 1:07:08.880 --> 1:07:13.080 my life. I can do all things through Christ, which 1:07:13.120 --> 1:07:16.840 strengthens me, and people always use it when they come 1:07:16.880 --> 1:07:19.760 up against a task or an obstacle. I can do 1:07:19.840 --> 1:07:23.560 all things through Christ, which strengthens me. Greater is in 1:07:23.680 --> 1:07:25.600 me that he is in the world. I can do 1:07:25.680 --> 1:07:28.360 all things through Christ, which strengthens me. And it sounds 1:07:28.360 --> 1:07:30.640 so good, and it sounds so wonderful, and we use 1:07:30.680 --> 1:07:33.960 it all the time, except we use it out of context. 1:07:34.920 --> 1:07:37.439 When God said, when Paul said, I can do all 1:07:37.480 --> 1:07:41.400 things through Christ, and Philippians, who strengthens me, he said 1:07:41.400 --> 1:07:45.880 it after saying this, I have learned how to be abased, 1:07:46.360 --> 1:07:49.720 and I have learned how to be abound. I have 1:07:49.920 --> 1:07:52.360 learned both how to be and warn. And I have 1:07:52.560 --> 1:07:55.120 learned how to have plenty.
