in the name of Jesus. You serve it as you see fit. Lord God, hallelujah. Unless your word comes forward, oh God, somebody's.
Maybe healed. Somebody may have faith in the name of Jesus. Lord, God, continue to use us as you see fit. Lord, come to the house on tonight having one need and another.
Lord, we know that you are rich in blessings, Lord God, toward everyone. Hallelujah. Have your way, oh God. In the name of Jesus.
Lord, God, we praise the blood of Jesus against every Lord God, unbelieving spirit. Irrit doubtful spirit. Lord, God, hallelujah. Give your thanks and we do honor you and bless you for all that you have done.
Let it be hard to say, amen. Praise the Lord, you may be seated. Praise the Lord, people of God. Praise the Lord again.
Amen. We truly do honor the Lord Jesus Christ for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men and we do kind of that honor to be here, amen, in this pulpit amongst our presiding bishop and our suffrage and bishop. Amen, and all our very wonderful men of God in Jesus' name. Amen.
So since last, since last, I've been able to, I used to be able to read small letters. I can't read small letters no more. I went to the doctor a few months ago and he told me, I told him things are changing and he told me you were never fifty before ourselves. But I do thank God for His goodness.
But I want to try to write down the things that I need to honor because I will forget. Trust me, I thank working third chief, you lose part of your memory. Amen, but we do want to honor our presiding bishop, Gellis, and Jesus' name as it was mentioned before. I was a leadership and I've been under his tutelage since 1988.
Praise the Lord, I'm grateful and he meant for the truth that we are being taught here and taught under his tutelage in the name of Jesus. We also thank God for our vice bishops, African bishop, bishop, and Kurt Gellis in the name of the Lord. Amen, we do honor him. We want to honor Pastor Black for bringing such a wonderful word on last night.
Amen, and thank God for all our esteemed elders and Jesus. Amen, and thank God for our esteemed ministers and again our deacons, our wonderful deacons and our honorary deacon, our chairman and deacon on tomorrow. We thank God for him, very humble servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. We honor all our esteemed mothers.
Amen. I make sure I write everything down because I'd forget. Amen, but we thank God for all our mothers and our head and mother of the organization, and our Janet Gettis. Amen, our mother Teresa Gettis and our lady Leslie Black and her absence.
Amen, thank God for Mother Huey, Mother South, Mother Williams, Mother Comrie, Mother Jones. Did I forget anybody? Probably did, but forgive me. Amen.
And you know what the Lord had kind of put in my mind? Thank God for sanctified musicians. Thank God for sanctified musicians. You know, I'm a lover of music.
I remember years ago Bishop Gettis says, you know, sometime when you hear that, this was probably back in the early 90s, Bishop Gettis said you hear the music playing, but you like the song, but the minute you see that cover, you don't want to listen to it no more. You remember that? But I think about that. So I do thank God for the musicians and I try to do a little bit of something about them.
These young people, they don't pass me out. Amen, and thank God for the sanctified praise leaders. I tell you all, you need to do just throw a match, throw some gasoline on Deacon Canard. Amen.
He's the Lord, he just on fire. Amen. Got any energy? Good.
Amen. I want to thank God for my wife, my sons, and Jesus. Amen. Thank God for them being here with us.
In the name of the Lord. And finally, I want to thank God for the church that came down to be with us on tonight in Jesus' name. Amen. So we thank God for all of his goodness.
Thank God for everyone gathered here together in Jesus' name. And we pray that something is going to be said to encourage your heart in the Lord. I'm going to jump around to a couple of scriptures, borrow an idea, and then be out of your way. Amen.
It was convocation time. I look forward to this time in Jesus' name. And they tempted me to go into work tonight, but I'm going to try my best to resist. But I felt bad having to leave last night.
But it was good to be here. Amen. And I'm pretty sure if the Holy goes fall and God will get the healing, that's why I didn't commit myself tonight. If God will get the healing, that's it.
Somebody receive the Holy goes, that's it. Raise the Lord. Hallelujah. Somebody, our minds get delivered.
Amen. That's what we expect when we come together. Amen. We expect a spiritual explosion.
Amen. Raise the Lord. Let's go over to John, chapter 6. Let's start at verse 33.
These things I have spoken unto you that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world. We're going to ask that you turn to Acts, chapter 14.
When you have it, say amen. We're going to start around verse 19. No, let's jump down to verse 21. Let's go back to it.
And when they had preached the gospel to that city and had taught many, they returned again to Listera and to Iconium and to Antioch. So they had left Derby and went to Listera and Iconium and Antioch, confirming the souls of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Last scripture is from 1 Peter, chapter 1 verse 3. Peter writes to the church in general, he says, he said, let's be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy have they gotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled that faitheth not away preserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in these last times in the last time.
Verse 6, we're going to greatly be joys. For now for a season if need be, you are in heaviness through manifold temptations or testings. Verse 7, that the trial of your faith being much more precious than of gold, that parisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen ye love and whom though ye see him not yet believing ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. Didn't we have that gone on tonight?
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your soul. Taken from these three passages of Scripture, there were so many things that came to my mind this week. I thought I had one thing, but the Lord changed it on Sunday and gave us something else to encourage the people of God. We're going to use for a thought.
Take courage and press on. Take courage and press on. I don't have time tonight to expand on each of these wonderful scriptures. Each of them contain a subject matter of themselves and of themselves.
However, I feel that they express a certain single idea which we hope to borrow and convey to the people of God on tonight. First the Lord Jesus in John here instills in his disciples that if he overcame the world and made it with the help of him, we need to understand that we can also. The apostle Paul, that Lister and Iconium and Antioch came back to these cities to tell the saints to press on because they had stoned him in these various cities and basically threw him out the city and had dead. Some say he believed he was dead, but God raised him back to life.
But despite him throwing him out of the city just about dead, amen, he told them to press on. Finally, the apostle Peter, in the first chapter 1, just talking about the end result of a successful press, eventually the salvation of our souls. The prevailing sentiment and idea of each of these scriptures that I personally have gleaned is singular in message in that they yield courage to the children of God to press on. In spite of what you're going through, look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor to take courage and press on.
I'm pressing on, indicates that there is something on the opposite side of our drive forward. Last year I thought about this subject of driving forward and I heard various things, but in reality it's true. When you are driving or pressing forward, any and everything in your rear view mirror and your side view mirror gets smaller and smaller until it's out of the way. You don't see it no more.
You literally have to go back and look for it. Everything in your windshield and up before you gets bigger and bigger. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah.
You need to put hope in front of you. Hallelujah. However, on our press forward there are these opposing or resisting forces that are against us that we have to barrel through. The Lord knows that we have three main forces that are in direct opposition against us.
Praise the Lord. It's the world, it's the devil and our flesh. Praise the Lord. Now there's a great aftermath under each of those three, but those are your main three.
Come on in and say, you man. Praise the Lord. It's not your brother, not your sister, but it's the world, the devil and your flesh. Praise the Lord.
Not nobody else is flesh, but our own flesh. But understanding that the world and the devil and the flesh, praise the Lord, our forces opposing against us. I want to give you what the Lord Jesus Christ said. He said over in Matthew chapter 16 verse 18, he said, I say unto thee that thou art beater.
And upon this rock will I build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Praise the Lord. This foundational truth that he is the Christ. Praise the Lord.
We understand that nothing in the world, praise the Lord, can go against the church. Do you believe that? Praise the Lord. There's nothing in the world that is stronger against the church.
There is nothing in the world that's stronger, praise the Lord than the body of Christ. Hallelujah. Oh James said, he said, submit yourself to God. He said, resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. So resist the world. Resist the devil and resist your own flesh.
Hallelujah. I know there's some things in here that got some inspired of, inspired of press. Hallelujah. Don't you look at me like you don't have a press in here.
Praise the Lord. Some of you been holding on for a long time. I'm only saying, man, you've been walking with Jesus for a long time. Hallelujah.
And you made up your mind that in spite of what you're going through, you're going to hold the gods and change in hand. Praise the Lord. You've got to have that level of mindset that is determined to follow our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Praise God.
I want to encourage you even like John the Rebelator. Praise God when he said, look to yourself that you lose not those things which we have wrought. Praise God that you receive a full reward. Praise God.
Hallelujah. Each of us will be paid according to our work. Praise God. We need to keep working for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Praise God because we want to receive a full reward. Praise the Lord. Come on and talk to me and say, man, praise the Lord. Let's get a press down in you.
Praise God because we are not of them who draw back unto a petition but believe God unto the saving of our soul. Hallelujah. You're quiet tonight. Praise God.
I know you got your shouting but you can still agree with the word. I'm just going to read a bunch of Scriptures to you tonight. I'm not going to convey my idea but I want you to receive what the word says. Praise the Lord, amen.
But we don't have a mindset to be a part of those that are looking back to go back into the world. There's nothing in the world. Praise God. Hallelujah.
God. There's no peace in the world. There's no joy in the world. Praise God is sadness and depression.
What the world thinks is peace and joy is sin and degradation. Praise God but in the church, in the body of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. Praise God.
Holy goes joy. Praise God. Look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor to encourage. Praise God.
In press on. Hallelujah. Praise God. As the true church of Jesus Christ, our Lord, we have to stay.
We have to stand fast. Praise God. What does stand fast means? Stand fast means having a fixed and settled position.
Praise God. Paul writes to the church of Galatia and tells the church of Galatia to stand fast. Therefore in the liberty where with Christ have made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Come on, praise God.
Don't you go back into the old stuff and the old lifestyle in which God delivered you from. Praise God. Don't you go back to the club. Don't you go back to Barrie.
Don't you go back to Sarah. You stay in the church here and let Jesus praise God. Do you good? Hallelujah.
Praise God. Not only do we stand fast but we have to be steadfast. Praise God. What does stand fast means?
Stiff fast means resolutely and dutifully firm. Praise God and be unwavering. Praise God knows what the amount of junk that we see on the internet. Praise God.
All these dachshunds that these people got coming out today. Praise God. In this preacher that came out and said you don't have to pay your tithes. Did everybody come in with the idea of they don't have to pay their tithes.
Praise the Lord. Amen. Hallelujah. All these winds of doctrine.
Praise God. You need to speak steadfast and stand fast in the truth of God's word. Come on and say it, man. Somebody.
Praise God. The Bible. Paul writes the church of Corinth. He said, therefore my beloved brethren.
He said, unmovable. Always abounding in the work of the Lord. He said, for as much as you know that your labor is not in vain. Don't you become weary and well doing because you need to understand praise God.
God is keeping record of praise God, the righteous of your righteous life and the things that you are doing that are right. Praise God. Not only in these two are being steadfast. Praise God and standing fast.
Praise God in our hearts we need to be persuaded. Praise God like the Apostle Paul we need to rehearse these things. In our ears praise God and learn to encourage ourselves in the Lord. What does it mean to be persuaded?
Praise God you are convinced and you are convicted about this walk with the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul writes to a son in the Gospel Timothy praise God and says, for the which calls I suffer these things. Praise God, nevertheless I am not ashamed for I know in whom I believe. He said I am persuaded that he is able, praise God to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
Come on. How many of you are persuaded? If you persuade it, come on and wave your hand. Praise God.
Let the Lord know that you are persuaded. Hallelujah. Come on, praise God. Anybody that made up their mind that they're going to be steadfast in the Lord.
If you pull them aside, if you check out the drive in first, praise God if they're in their life. If you wake them up in the morning, you will see that. Praise God is Jesus. On the inside of them, driving them forward.
Praise God if you look at who is the motivator in their heart and in their mind. You will see that it is nobody but the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise God you take us to see more something and you say to anybody that you come in contact with. You say that nobody do me like Jesus.
Hallelujah. Can do me like the Lord can. Nobody can pick me up in turn. You can be around.
Nobody can touch me and nobody can heal me like Jesus. You are persuaded that nobody can do it due to you for what the Lord Jesus Christ can do for you. Come on and say, man, praise God. Wake us up in the middle of the night and you will still find that we got to press our down.
It is hallelujah God. Praise God even when you're dreaming when you're really convicted and you're battling, you'll find the devil. Praise God. Hallelujah.
God gets down in your dreams. Praise God. You'll see that you've got the Holy Ghost in your dream. Come on and say amen.
Praise God. I'm firmly convinced. Praise God as some people have. Hallelujah.
They're overtaking in their dreams because they won't keep their mind on the Lord. Hallelujah. This is why they are the way. They're acting the way they're acting.
Praise God. They went to sleep looking at devils. Come on and talk to me and say amen. They went to sleep looking at things that are not like God.
And when they're sleeping, praise God. Hear those devils. Praise God. Take control because they let them in.
Come on and talk to me and say amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. But catch you in another country and you'll steal.
Find that you've got to press down on the inside. Come on and say amen. Praise God. You'll see that we steal.
Got to press down on the inside. Come on and talk to me. So praise God. We want you to take courage and press on in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Praise God. We need to understand that these are the last and the evil days. Praise God. People are getting worse and worse.
Evil men are getting worse and worse. Praise God in mind. They're getting crazier. They're going further and further away from God.
I say it's say that all we like sheep have gone to stray. Somebody in turn. They own way. But the day that God call you, call you to come back in the church heart.
You want to be glad to say Lord. I'd thank you for bringing me back into the house of the Lord. Somebody said if I had not been for the Lord Jesus Christ, I would be a lost. Hallelujah.
I would be a lost person today. Hallelujah. But God knows that these evil days come on and say that. Praise God.
They are evil because the Bible says that they are evil. Praise God. The Bible says redeem it at time. But the days are evil.
The folk got evil. Foul's. No matter your turn in mind they're evil. Come on, they say, man, what time is it?
Mm, praise God, hallelujah. Praise God, they're inventing evil things. They're coming up with evil thoughts. They're coming up with evil laws.
They're frustrating the people of God. But let me tell you something. You gotta stand fast. Hallelujah, upon the Word.
And understand, praise God, and God, and never fail you. Hallelujah. You can stand upon the foundation of the Word of the Lord, and you'll find out that God, will never fail you. Mm, praise God.
So get a press down, and he'll have praise that I'm here to tell you today. Mm, that your faith is under attack. Praise God, your press is under attack. Your tribe is under attack.
Your courage is under attack. Praise God, your morals are under attack. Praise God, because Jesus is the object of your faith. You need to understand, praise God, and everything that have to do with God.
That you stand for is under attack. Come on, and talk to me. Hallelujah. But again, you gotta stand fast.
Take courage and press on. Hallelujah. Praise God, if it's up to the wealth system, if it's up to the devil, if it's up to our own flesh, praise that we will fall in line with the dictator of the world. Come on, somebody.
Talk to me and say it, man. Praise God, if your own flesh can get you to lose integrity with God. Praise God, your flesh would care. Let's hop.
Come on, somebody. I'm talking about these enemies now. Mm, praise God if the world, and his system of belief. What should have compromised it?
Get you to compromise. Praise God, your conviction. And get you to close your Bible. And get you to forget what does say the Lord.
It'll be OK. Hm, praise God, the enemy's aim. It's a complete destroyer of faith. And you're trusting God.
And get you to miss out on what God has promised. Praise God to the children. Mother, most high, God, come on, somebody. You need to be encouraged.
You need to Lord Jesus Christ and understand. That God said, I'll never leave you. Nor forsake you. That you might boldly say the Lord is high.
Can you shout with me and say the Lord is high. The Lord is high. The Lord is high. My helper, praise God.
I wonder if you really believe that God is my helper. He's God Jesus is my helper. He's the Lord of your helper. Come on and talk to me.
He's the Lord of your helper. If God is your helper, then shout out. Hallelujah. Praise God Jesus said.
In John chapter 10, he said, the thief come if not praise the Lord. But the steal the kill. And to destroy. He said, I am come that they might have life.
And that they might have it more abundantly. Praise God every time you turn around. The enemy is out there trying to destroy you. Every time you turn around.
There's a billboard out there. Trying to get a message into your ear. They get you to go against God. They get you to question God.
But through the power of the Holy Ghost. You need to arrest those thoughts. Come on, hallelujah. You need to subject those thoughts.
On the lordship of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise God.
So take courage and press your way into the kingdom of God. Come on. I thank God for the Holy Ghost. I thank God for power.
I thank God for anointed power. Hallelujah. That's giving me the mind of press on. No matter who's around.
Come on somebody. And say thank you Jesus. Come on and shout hallelujah. Praise God Jesus said.
He said the law. And the prophets were until John. I'm almost done here. The law and the prophets were until John.
I'm almost done here. The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time, the kingdom of God is preached in every man. Every boy.
Every girl. Even if you're shouting, you're not understanding. Every child presses way into the kingdom of God. Come on.
You got to press on the inside of you. Hallelujah. You might have to press against your mama. You might have to press against your daddy.
But you got to get a press. Now on the end of you. Come on and shout. Yeah.
Shout. Yeah. Hallelujah. Praise God.
Right in Philip. Praise God. Philippians said. He said I count not myself to have apprehended.
I may not have gotten it. I may not have reached it. Yeah. Come on.
Come on. He said about this one thing I do. I'm learning it. Some mirrors on the side.
Hallelujah. God. And I keep driving forward. Until I leave everything.
In the back. Even the thought process. Hallelujah. For getting those things which I'll be harrying.
Hallelujah. And reaching forward. Until those things. Which I'll be forming.
Hallelujah. The only thing I'll be in front of you. Hallelujah. Is the object of your faith.
And the object of our faith. Is our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ. You ought to be reaching for Him.
Hallelujah. You ought to be reaching for a standard. Come on somebody. You ought to be reaching for everything that's within the bow.
Hallelujah. Because that's what it's before you. Come on and say yeah. Raise that pulse.
He said I press. Come on and shout with me. Come on and shout I press. Come on and shout I press.
Come on and shout I press. Come on. Y'all can do better than that. Get the cotton balls.
Get the socks. Get your mouth. Come on. Pull your back forward.
And shout I press. That was much better. Come on. I'm almost done here.
I can feel it. When you're saying that time. Come on. Get it on the side of you.
I press. Come on. Take your hand. And press.
Take your hand. And press. Come on and press. Come on and press.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
When you're coming to church in spite of your pressing your way. When you're coming in prayer in spite of your pressing your way. When you're down on your knees. And nobody in your family want to serve the Lord.
Praise God. Don't get oppressed down inside of you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Praise God the Bible says wherefore, sin we also are encompassed about with such a great cloud of witnesses. Hah. Praise God that's in chapter 12. But in order to see that great cloud and that you are surrounded and encompassed, you got to go back to chapter 11.
Hear that, praise God to help you to be complete. Come on. Because the Bible said they could not be made perfect or complete without us. So they're pressing their way.
Praise God so that you and I could be complete. Hallelujah. Come on, come on, come on. Praise God.
The Bible says wherefore, sin also we are encompassed about with a great cloud of witnesses. He says let us lay aside every weight. And the sin. Praise God that's stuff for the world.
You got to put it down. Get rid of it. Praise God to lead the Bible says what in the power rights to the church of Ephesus. Praise God.
Get rid of the old man in his baggage. Praise God. Don't only kick out the old man but get rid of his stuff too. Praise God.
Praise God. Don't come with his trinkets. Praise the Lord. Don't come with his slang.
Praise God. Don't come with his clothes. Praise God. Don't come with his mind.
Set. Praise God. I don't care what you did in the world. Praise God.
He wants you to be different. Don't come with your jewelry. Come on and say, man. Don't come with your fake hair.
Hallelujah. Don't come with your jewelry. What do you call those things in the space? Planet hairstyles.
One side low like Saturn and the other ball. We don't need a world in the church. We don't need a dance in the church. Praise God.
Put the man out there. Put his bags out. Come on and say, man. Praise the Lord.
Hallelujah God. Praise God. Thank God for the Appostolic Church. How will you glad you have the scholar?
Praise God. You're not Catholic. Praise God. You're not meth-a-stolic, but you're supposed to be an apostolic.
Praise God. Hallelujah. The Bible says put a difference between clean and unclean. Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on. Fucking man with me. Praise God.
You lose people. Hallelujah God. I guess I'm learning. You lose people.
You make up your mind. Praise God. Brothers, you're not going to come in the church with your hat on. I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you to take it off.
You ain't going to disrespect if you go to the White House. You got to take that hat off. You come to God's house. You're going to turn it off.
Take it off. Praise God. Hallelujah. When you're pressed forward, you're leaving that stuff behind.
That dancing. The beats of the world. Excuse me. You don't need no beats.
Praise God in the church. You know somebody who's going to be excused. Praise God. Rubbing and crawling all over each other.
You don't need that music in the church. You don't need nothing to remind you from where God delivered you from. Praise God. Put the man out and put his bags out too.
Let him strip you. Love everything. Praise God. Let the...
Praise God. She's not a mother but a mother but a mother. She was so scared that if God received a hold of her, she's going to come into the front of the church. And God would have rolled her down front here.
Praise God. She was too proud. But God said I don't care about your pride. And later right in front of the church in front of everybody else.
Hallelujah. Come on and talk to me and say amen. Praise God. I don't care what you see out there in the world.
Praise God. If everybody now, they got these young ladies. Yes, skirts are getting higher and higher. Well, showing all the boot talks.
Showing everything. In the church. I ain't talking about the world. I'm talking about the church.
I'm not talking about the church that I claim to be. Pick the tuss. I'm talking about the church that I claim to be. Apostolic.
Some others feel that they have mothers. I ain't talking about the young ladies. Because if the young ladies see the older ladies do it, they're going to do it themselves. If they say, you wear the skirt and it's all up your knees and the many of you bend over.
You can see all what God created. And only time you wear a long skirt is when you come to church. I got a couple of sea creatures that call you. Squid.
It's just a squid. It's just an octopus. Those things can change colors. Out of dying.
Come on and say amen. Praise God. You are not having a wardrobe. A wardrobe for work.
And you are not having a wardrobe for church. You are not having a dance for church. And a dance for the world. Y'all blame him.
Take it out of him. Come on somebody. Hallelujah. We ain't compromising.
We're going to hold to the truth is. Y'all ready for this one? When I came into the church, the ladies didn't have on pants, skin type pants and the dress. Going down.
They didn't wear that. At least when I came in. I didn't see it. Praise Lord.
Some people just want to slip their backside of some pants. Let's see what it feels like. So you tell me I can wear a skirt under my pants. Come on and talk to me.
Let's say amen. You've gone in the addling now. You got that right. Praise Lord.
Hallelujah. Y'all know the bimesus look to yourself that we what? We lose not the things. Praise Lord.
Some of us leave the apostolic church where the preacher was preaching the truth. And we get these ideas now. Well, you don't take all that. You don't have to do all that anymore.
You don't have to stand like that anymore. You don't have to be that way anymore. I call it double a lie. And if you're losing your mouth to open up and depart where's like that.
You're going to lie with them. It's going to take that and more. Praise the Lord. These folks are out of their minds today.
And I'm talking about church people. One of the worst things that the, um, the, yes, this technology. One thing, one of the worst things that happened with the church that I've learned is that ability to be in other people's churches through the live stream, through the internet. Because you come back and you, you know, the Bible says this and Peter, you know, these folks got all this stuff going on over there that the way of truth is even spoken up.
That's why the church has a skeleton grew. The true church of Jesus Christ because they found some preacher, praise the Lord, they tell them some lies. They're lips dripping with honey. They're now the day of the day of church.
What is that? Clip track. Clip track. So the minute they're going to, the musician's getting tired, but that clip track is still going.
And everything is just jumping up and down and dancing. No preaching. Hallelujah. I want some good preaching.
I love becoming here to preacher. I love when, let me tell you something. One thing I've learned about Bishop Kirk get it. Every stone is turned on.
One day he told me he was preaching. One day he told me he was preaching. He was preaching. He was preaching.
He was preaching hard. He cleaned up the church. He said one day the sister came to church and I told him I was a pankton. He said, man, I forgot to tell him.
That man preaching, there's no stone left there. Come on somebody and say it back. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah.
Praise the sometimes the saints go through things that really challenge them and put them to the test. I look at Elder Webster. Praise the Lord and just look at your faith in God. Most people won't even be in church.
Most people won't even be in church. I look at Jennifer having that bad accident. Sister Jones. That's a perfect excuse for them not to be in church.
My body's aching. Praise the Lord. Folk look for every bit of excuse. Every excuse.
They didn't come to ask you when they came down for them to be in that work. They miss a full Sunday when it comes down to be in five o'clock on Monday morning. They're ready to go to work. Full of energy.
Full of life. And when they come home they give God the scraps. Let me tell you something. When I get like that to the point where I don't believe in this in church.
It's not going to be in the grave for me to miss church. But when I get to the point where I feel like I've given God the because we run so much, you know, some of y'all sleep a lot. But that sleep is, ooh, we'll try to get some sleep. But I've learned that you need to sleep because if you don't sleep your body's not going to produce magnesium.
