Now, please, Lord, set your captains free. We cannot do it. Only you can all this and more. We asked in Jesus's precious name. Amen, Amen and amen. Come on, y'all, come on in and sign in sign. I've been feeling y'all spirit all weekend, and I see why. I see why, and I'm I'm gonna have to read this because I will not do it justice. I have to read this, and I'm praying that everybody is doing well and you're staying hydrated and staying out of the sun. If you don't have to go, if you don't have to go, Amen and amen, So here we go. Let me find out, Let me find it, let me find it. Here we go. Amen. Hey, Nikky, I get a notice at five point fifty one this afternoon, this evening. We hope you had a marvelous birthday and wishing you a great birth month. To honor you and show we made a pot a pork roast with green beans, potatoes, and carrots on Saturday night. On Sunday, your birthday, we went out to some without a house, some older people who don't have much and their families don't visit, and also gave to some as a thank you for the nice job they do. And all twenty seven people had

4:25 a meal in thanks and honor of you and the show making a difference in us. Thank you so much. Amen, Amen, I I you know, and I gotta thanks for the care package we also sent. And here again Missy. She don't keep stuff for herself. She is quick to disperse it. She gave to some of the kids. And if I knew that, Misty, I would have sent a whole bunch more. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna send a bunch more because I've got a lot here. I got a lot. I took some with us, but you know, for the barbecue celebration of miss CA's graduation, and I had about nine ten bags and everybody, I said, I kind of got carried away. But Amazon met me where I was at Okay, so I definitely would get there. But the fan went to an elderly lady who likes to sit outside no matter what the heat, in her wheelchair at a nursing facility. She's a sweet lady, and she says she remember the days when ladies carried hand fans when they went out, like to church and to other places. Hey, missy, misty, Missy in Asia. Amen. Amen. So she and she was smiling.

5:43 Here's a woman who's smiling to tell that story. That's her testimony, that memory, and just a fan took her back there and she had a smile on her face. You don't have to do much but listen to God and do what he tells you to do. Just trying to get back to a place here. But I just I thank you all. I felt you all this weekend. I can feel you all, even though I had to be on my best behavior so I wouldn't embarrass Misskake because you know, she wouldn't let me lift that down. But we have great time, and she's trying to celebrate me. This is her weekend. She is, she's a graduate now, undergraduate now, and she's got the paper behind it, but been doing the business all along. Okay, Well she's got the paper now, so she could be invited to the table, or she could create the table in the meeting. Okay, amen.

6:35 And that's what we do. We create the meeting. We don't wait to be I'm no longer gonna wait to be invited. If there's something that needs to be done. God will give me the wisdom on how to execute and allow it to manifest. Want to. I want you guys to. I want you to be very careful of using the word manifest and manifestation because those other folks use it too, and their way of saying and the reason their definition of what they're trying to display when they say, oh, I manifested that. No, you didn't do anything. If anything, you had a goal, you had some objectives to reach that goal. Good evening the other k Yes it was, yes, it was, it still is. I'm gonna take it to the thirty first, But be careful when you use the word manifestation because it's not you manifesting anything.

7:20 You set the goals for those of you who believe in God, you pray about it, and it comes to past if it's meant to be. But right now, just like what the devil does, he steals, he steals. He's not an original. Okay, So I need you all to be because I heard folks are using that word and I'm like, and I cringe when they use it because I know it's not what God. God doesn't say. Well, Jesus said I'm gonna manifest this. No, Jesus said, you pray and believe on me, And we're gonna talk a little bit more about that tonight as we explore the Book of Ephesians chapter six. Excuse me just a minute. You know who's trying to get some attention here, So excuse me, guys anyway, So I need you to be very very careful, and I'm the of that. But I thank you all for your you know, your love. I've already got folks saying, hey, your cards are on the way.

8:06 I don't want this to be a big thing now. I don't want y'all to, you know, go on a hold on this one, okay, Get some construction paper, write a car, put it in an envelope, send it to me. I'm good, I'm just I'm just at I don't know. I just it's like I said, it's a special year for me, and that said, Hey, y'alls, tell us again what book the lesson is coming from this evening. The Book of Ephesians in the New Testament. It's before Galatians after there was before Galatians after the Four Epistles, so Ephesians after Romans chapter six and I'm gonna get into that in a minute. Another thing I was lit. There's new talk now on more emphasized talk about Jesus and his return, because now the government and all the you know people, the wannabes are starting to talk about, you know, kind of put the narrative if oh, Jesus is coming back, we're gonna see him in the sky. And they're trying to take the words of God, the words that have been in the Bible long before we were born, and trying to exploit it so that some people are actually walking out of their door and when they hear odd sounds in the sky, they're looking up. And I don't want you to go there. That's a rabbit hole. What we need to be doing now, and you go and pray about it, okay, You pray about whatever we say on this program, You take it back to God. You doing your own research, okay. But what I feel we should be doing is making sure that we take out

9:39 every assignment and hit it one hundred percent. Whatever it is that you're supposed to be doing. And if you're still not sure, give us a call. We can have a one on one with you. You'll get it real quick. We'll pray about it and God will release I promise you that, because it's happened with other people. That's all I'm going by. So I put the question should out that to some of the visitors we had this weekend, that the narrative is now, the language now. The conversation now is oh, Jesus is coming back in three years. Okay, Now somebody's trying to you know, the Bible says no man know if the day nor the hour. And we have a few out there to say, well, he didn't say the year, or Jesus didn't talking years, he talking seasons.

10:23 And I know for some they feel that they need to say that. But you're scaring the people, and I think you're missing the biggest point, which is what we need to be doing when he comes? What will he find you doing when he comes? So the Lord allowed me to very carefully pose the question. Let's say Jesus is coming back in three years. We actually get a number a year. He's coming back in three years. How is that going to change your life? What would you take away, what would you eliminate? What would you add to your life? I don't want to hear it. We don't have to discuss it. This is just a homework question forever until you take your last breath. When Jesus come, I pray that he catches me praying. I pray that he catches me singing his praises. I pray that he catches me sharing his words, sharing the good news. What's your your thesis statement? What are you hoping that Jesus will find you doing when he comes? Whenever that may be because of God. I know he said there's rumors, there's things that you need to look out for to know we're coming, and we're coming strong. Well, we're already in the midst of that. I hope we'll be closer and where they of standing before God. Amen, mistery, and that you have reached and completed he I died seven years ago, not once, but twice. I know you're gonna get tired of hearing this, but I'm going somewhere with this, and he yet still brought me back. I was in the middle of the third book. Anybody could have picked.

11:53 Somebody could have picked my daughter could have picked it up, her baby brother could have picked it up and continued it all because it was they saw where I was going with it, they knew what it was about, where it came from. Their pictures are on the front and back cover, so someone could have continued it. But yet he said, no, I need you back down there. So that only tells me that the worst of whatever he's assigned to me before my heavenly body left heaven and landed in the womb of a seventeen year old, unwedded mother unexpectedly, I still have work to do. And guess what, Not only did I finish the third book, but I wrote two more and we started started back with the podcast.

12:35 So have I still got work to do? And you need to know what the work is that you're supposed to be doing. Don't you dare Wait until you're on your sick bed and you're forced to look up and you and you can't do much without somebody helping you. Only to think that Jesus, don't, don't, don't, don't don't put that on it. Don't put that on Jesus. Now. I have talked to some people younger and older over the last few days, ironically, who are ready to go. They're facing some heavy things, they're going through some heavy things, uncertainties, don't know why, and they're ready to go. And I had to say to each one of them, despite their age, despite their ethnicity, if you wake up tomorrow, then there's still more work that needs to be done. That's all I can tell you. And you need to be sitting in front of God quietly asking him what more? What is it that I'm supposed to be doing? Lord? Please tell me? Don't let me miss you ever. Never get tired of hearing it. To be honest, I see the light shining brighter in you every time you tell us about your experiences. It's God, and it's real. It's not something I heard. It's not a gossip. It's not to make you. Oh I'm I'm superwoman. No I'm not. I'm no better than y'all. I would just hope that you can look back and say, God, there's this lady. And she had this faith that I've never seen before. She could talk, and she and her co hosts could to say things and bring light to us and bring understanding to us. And when we walk awhy glory to God.

14:04 When we walk away, we're not confused anymore. We're not wondering and like hmmm, we're not second guessing it, she said, trying and see and we're trying him these people. Oh, I feel the annointing. You could have done anything on a Saturday night. I don't know how y'all got that together. I don't know how you convened that. I don't know how y'all email text. I don't know who all was involved. All I know is that twenty seven people on a Sunday, strangers in some cases, were fed a wholesome meal. You are because you are lifting us up so we can be better and do it. Misty, I was not going to be around forever. We got to move on. We've done.

14:47 When the time is up to hour glasses, no more saying we're done. But he's not done in you. There's still work to be done until he comes back. I will be working up until the very moment Jesus says, okay, warrior, well done, let's go home. I will be working doing something, ministering, preaching, prophesying, teaching, evangelizing, school ministry of helps, social work, mentoring elderly people, mentoring my spiritual sons and daughters. I will not be sitting idle wondering what's my next memory. A couple of years ago, guys, We talked about that, So what's your next. I don't have that conversation anymore. Why because it doesn't matter. He gets it to be every day. Even I'm here celebrating my daughter's graduation, and everybody that came through I had a story for. And I didn't mean to do that.

15:46 I was just gonna be quiet, sitting to cut you know, and enjoy the festivities. Pray that we not too loud, the security won't be riding through and bothering us. You're the reason we know these things. You make a difference in many Thank you in a stasia. But that's God. Because Jesus told the disciples, go yee and preach the good news, Go get my people. Now that's what I'm doing. I'm going after the chosen, and I had we had all kinds of folks show up. I'm going after the chosen that they don't know they chose. And I a few came by this weekend. So what will Jesus catch you doing? And I've shared the story. God is showing me the young lady about the young lady who was my former martial arts instructor's daughter, who heard her daughter were at a choir rehearsal. I never knew she sang in the church, but she was there. I don't know if it's a kid's choir. She brought her daughter, I don't know. But she left her daughter with her uncle, who's her twin brother. He's a firefighter here in Orlando.

16:42 And as she's going out the door, the door closes behind her as normal. One young man said, oh, let me go tell her something from what I've been told, and it was like a blockage. He's like, why can't I get to the door. It was like something was stopped. It was in front of him. He could not get to the door to open it to catch up with her. Because while at the same time, the neighbor across the street that's right in front of the front of the church happened to be passing by his window and looked and saw her fall to her knees reaching, look it up and reaching and she collapsed. When she fell down, the neighbor said, that's when they opened up the door, and she was already gone. So she just came from praising him in worshiping, making sure her daughter is safe with somebody no health issues. In her twenties, young young lady, or maybe early thirties, very early thirties. What would he catch you? We didn't hear when others tried to speak it.

17:40 We didn't hear when other Oh you got to us? Amen, Well, I mean, but you were ready, guys, it's not all us. You got to be ready, just like you got to study for that final exam. You got to be ready. Just like when you go for that job. You on a nightety day evaluation period. Either you get it or you don't. You got to be ready to tell someone this weekend. Sometimes you got to take a job you don't want to get where you got to go. And I've had a few of those, not even knowing where I wanted to go, but knew I had to pay bills. Amen. So I want to go to Ephesian six, because this is I've talked to you about the Book of Acts. The Book of Acts is the total GPS for end time.

18:20 If you wonder what you should be doing, if you wonder who should be around you, if you wonder how you should view people and stuff, and people you know, taking advantage of you, and all this kind of stuff, Book of Acts you'll find everything you need in that book. You study that book. That's your GPS. That's if you should be doing a Bible study by yourself. On the Book of Acts. You can never get enough of the word. That's a cute thing because it's always revelation, same scripture, different revelation, different day. But let's go to Ephesian six for a minute here, and I need you on to really put your listening ears on. Don't look at me. I need you to if you have to, if you can now, if you're not, if you're driving, puk, you know, yeah, acts, yes, you know, pull over on this on. Want you closing your eyes and drive and say, oh I close my eyes.

19:04 I was praying and you driving that. What does that sound like? You missing things up here? You're missing things. We're not impressed. And you ain't going to heaven that way because you probably killed yourself and then you just took your life. Okay, that's a no. No, that's a no no. Okay, thank you. Here we go, children, obey your parents in the Lord. But this is right honor thy father and our mother, which is the first commandment, with a promise that it may be well with thee and that thou mayst live long on the earth. And ye, fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. And it talks about service. Okay, I'm me just say service. Be obedient to them that are your masters, according to the flesh, with fear and trembling and singleness of your heart, as unto Christ, not with eye service as men pleasers, but as the service of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, with good will, doing service as to the Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. And yet masters do the same thing, for bearing, for bearing threatening, knowing that your master also is in heaven. Neither is there respect of persons with him. That means, basically, God is not you know, because you're a billionaire, a millionaire, and you've got servants, you've got housekeepers, you've got a chauffeur, chauffeurs, you've got lawn people. You know better than them, you know better than them, so you don't forget who's over you,

20:35 whether you believe in him or not. And he's watching everybody and checking the list following, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Here we go. First, put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, the lies of the devil, the distractions of the devil. Put on the whole armor. Now we're gonna go through the armor. And guess what. You never take it off, and you'll see why. Check it out. For we're resting out against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness and high places. Wherefore, take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day. And having done all to stand, some of you keep fighting the same old fight.

21:26 You keep having the same old conversation. You keep things going. And for what, how's that helping you? Where's the growth in that? Where's the revelation? Where's the aha? I get it? Now you're doing the same thing. And you know, my little visual it's the hamster on the wheel. He just keep running. I don't even know how he gets on that thing. And then I don't know how he throws himself off. I've never seen it because they just and if you look at it, you're like, okay, no, we ain't reach it out hand in the cage to help you. You got on that thing just like some of YOUA y'all start that stuff and we are know those days are gone. This season, spiritually speaking, it's gonna last until the end of time. There's nothing new coming. Let me just let me just help you there. There's nothing new coming. Oh, this season is a prosperity season. Oh, this season is a oh well, you got to you know, be a teacher speaking in tongues and you need to pray in tongues.

22:20 But that's another time. This season, No, no, no, this is the season. Even if it's for another thousand years, this is the season. Let's go and having done all, you stand still. I love to stand still when I know I fought the good fight by attending a legislative meeting, when I know I've fought the good fight by talking to all of my current spiritual sons and daughters and asking them, do you still need me? Because you're supposed to grow and go. It's supposed to grow. And maybe that's why the kids are still in the house, supped growing go But I had to ask God. I said no, and I've got seven now. They have told me in a threatening way they ain't going nowhere. Well, okay, I said, okay, hold on, let's go, because you're gonna be. You need to teach me. If you're learning, you all need to be able to teach me. You all need to be able to pray for me. And the pray prayer goes through your roof of your house and hits Jesus' feet if you're growing. If you're growing, here we go. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness, home work is gonna be. Look up loins, look up the word girt, and look up breastplate.

23:32 I don't have time to go over this tonight, So you look over, look up those actionable words, your descriptive words, and read it, and then, knowing the definition, recite that scripture again, having the description the definitions in your mind. Growth, Here you go, and your feet shod. Look up the word shod and look up the word feet. With the preparation of the Gospel of Peace. You ain't supposed to be going around, cussing people out, fussing with people all the time, kids included, spouses, boyfriend's girl. What you're supposed to be spreading peace both in your home and outside your home at above all Verse sixteen, Taking the shield of faith. Look up the word shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. A shield, A shield, darts, darts, jabs.

24:29 An old relative coming out, Well, you know what you reminding you of the past. I had to tell people this weekend, No, you don't. I don't invite nobody to my house because the way my house is set up is not conventional. It's not traditional, it's what works for me. You can't stay up my house. I don't have nothing for you to stay on. Everybody, every room is taken. Everybody in this house is taken. And then I don't know why God has showed me here. But here's a little hint for you single people out there, especially your women. They'll be trying to bring a man into your house if he loves you. Know what, baby, you building a house. I don't want to go to your apartment that's got history. You want me and right now I couldn't have a husband because I have two double master causes and they're all full. And you're not gonna build out my house.

25:10 So you go build us a bigger house. Oh, get us a bigger house. That's why I'm not married anyway. Okay. So I hope you all get these words different, that you're gonna have a lot of words to define. And seventeen take the helmet of salvation. Helmet salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Okay, ding ding ding Ding, ding ding ding. This is why we're telling you to study the Word, because why it's the sword of the Spirit. And there's a scripture where Jesus says, I come as a two edged sword. I have one of those. I have two edged darts and arrows. They cut going in and they cut coming out, which is the word of God. Eighteen praying always with prayer and supplication. Look up the word supplication in the spirit.

25:59 And I'm watching unto with all perseverance. There's another word and supplication for all the saints verse nineteen. And for me that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the Gospel from which I am an ambassador. In bonds means I am tied to God, I am tied to Heaven, to Jesus, I'm tied to preaching the word. I'm in bondage to God in a positive way. He's not going to I'm not letting him go, and he's not letting me go. So we hooked that. But at the hip and therein I may speak boldly as I ought to speak. My Bible tells me I can speak boldly as long as I am preaching, teaching the word, sharing the word, magnifying the word. I ain't manifesting nothing.

26:50 God is the Word is. Look at the people. Twenty seven people just got fed this weekend. Over thirty got mad and got the word too. Down here had an incident at the Airbnb, and everybody was upstairs. They were playing games. I don't this time. I scared them. I said, I need everybody down here, front and center. I said, I don't care about your faith level. I don't care. I don't care. I need you all walking these these rooms, going in and out of these rooms. We are praying now, because this has got to be done. This is this is nothing but an attack of the enemy, and I am not gonna have it, not today, not tomorrow, not for the rest of my life. That I'm for every day I have breath, not pray. I know, Okay, God, they were going I didn't care. I didn't ask permission.

27:39 It wasn't time for that. We were under a demonic attack to try to try to sweat us out and make us uncomfortable. Not today. But let me tell you, even though what we prayed exactly for, and I have to catch myself on this, that wasn't God's will. God's will was a test on me to see if I would make everybody come in. Oh God, what was going on? Oh yeah, the air condition? And we still got favor. And that was the other part of the blessing. We immediately report all the situation, all the things that were going on, had a list, and we all got nothing but apologies. We're so sorry, We're so sorry. So I had to explain to a young lady. I know it was on her mind. I knew it was on their minds if she had us to pray this and that didn't happen. No, But God has a way. Tests come in all shapes and sizes and colors all times of the day. If I wake you up at three o'clock, are you gonna talk to me? That's God talking to you.

28:38 And every now and you're waking up at three o'clock. And now that's a big thing. Now you know everybody's talking about. If you wake up at three o'clock, you gotta pray. Yeah, especially in October because the evil ones are out there doing the same thing. Pray against us and God's peace. So for you waking up in the middle of now, you gotta go to the bathroom. You can't go to sleep right away. Try to pray, Try to pray, and it don't have to be all cant and no, Lord, thank you for today. I pray that I wake up in the next few hours. I need energy, I need power, I need the overflow of you. Whatever you're gonna need, I'm doing. I'm doing. You can't make me uncomfortable. Yeah, go ahead, Trey, go ahead. I'm just gonna say so. And sometimes I would ask me, just show me what it is you want me to do, because it's still typically that time and is still so show me.

29:24 God, just make it clear through a. Dream or tell me or show me or something like that, What a minute that you would have? Amen, And I'll do it. And the test is on you even if you just praying or praying. Lord, I cannot meet my bills. I cannot make my ends meet. I can't rob Peter to pay Paul. I'm not going back to the borrow the money anymore. I don't have it to pay the interest and I can't. All my credit cards are maxed out. Lord, you know what. I'm tired of living this way. All I can say, Lord, please try to trust me with your goals and your objectives and a way out. Show me the way out, and I won't turn I won't go back. God's needs to trust you. And for others who've been in the church for thirty thousand years sitting on the same pew, being on the controlling the usher board, he can't trust you.

30:11 That's why you don't go any further now. On his behalf. You go out there and played the lottery and hope that you hit it, and you get five hundred dollars, and that's got to go to a bill, and you know you got to get gas. I saw more cars on the side of the road, not hit. I guess they ran out of gas. And I'm like, why are you trying to chance that you're on e you are empty? Fill it with God, let's finish this up. Twenty one. But that he also may know my affairs and how I do Tysha's beloved brother and faithful minister. And the Lord shall make known to you all these things whom I have sent unto you the same purpose, that ye may know our affairs and that you might confident in hearts. And this is Paul writing this, by the way and peace verse twenty three. Peace be to the brethren in love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace between all of you, all that love our Lord Jesus Christ, in sincerity, in sincerity, not for sure, but in sincerity. Amen. And that was written from Rome unto the Ephesians by Titius. So Paul was dictating to him.

31:16 And I'm gonna check them. And remember I told you all about this book Biblical Study Guide. Yeah, I'm gonna check it out. Make sure I'm right on that hand. Just a second, yep, right at the top it said written by Paul. Yep. I was right because I can tell the way Paul writes. Yeah, and these people were still scared of Paul, even though they know he got converted. He's preaching Jesus Christ. This is the man who used to kill Christians with his sword. No one can lift the sword, that's how heavy it was. But I believe that because whether he was right handed or left handed. He wrote to these churches, Ephesus, Galatia, Rome, he wrote to the Corenths, the Church of Corinth. He wrote to those churches. And it was skeed to that, like, isn't he in jail? Well, he said, he's sending somebody. Well, do you know how long you're gonna be here? It's a trip. I get this imagine of the conversation they would have, and he starts off with greening's been love it.

32:05 I love you, you know, and I know the Lord loves you. He said, so he said, but by the way, I hear you got a little trouble down there. Do I need to send my son? And see, that's a spiritual son. And that's what the spiritual sons and daughters are, people who ask for mentoring. And and and my daughter I asked, had everybody to go around and say something nice to her? And if she made a difference in your life or impacted your life. And one of my dear friends who we share the same birthday, she was I was born in at night. Yeah, she was born in the morning. But she she went and did the calculations. We are many years we're many years apart. But anyway, my daughter said, well, you know, she introduced her to everybody. Uh and uh.

32:48 She said, she's my mentor and she taught her how to sew. And my friend said, what do you mean, I'm your mentor? Your mother's my mentor? What is it? And everybody say, uh huh uh. So I never knew that, you know, I just know you never know. Okay, So you've got the two sets of homework, going through Ephesians chapter six and taking words and defining them and going back. You know, this is what I want you to do. Thank you Lord. He's showing me define the words in a nice notebook. Right. That should be your journal. It could be your journal, all right. Once you get the definitions, you write down the definitions, and you close the Bible and your journal. Okay, take a day, then go back looking at the definitions and read out loud Ephesian. So if you if you look it up the word perseverance.

33:37 You know perseverance means this and supplication. You're going to read it with the definition in mind. You can't tell me that won't change your life. You can't tell me it won't change your life. That's how you should do a Bible study. Actually, that's how I did it over the years. I would define words first. Then I go back to the Greek. I have a Greek and Hebrew dictionary and look up the word and it's totally it doesn't mean what it is in English. Talk about a study, but I had to get to the nitty gritty. I'm tired of not knowing stuff or walking away from somebody said that don't sound right? What is he talking about? How did you get that out of that? Don't sound right? I don't know everything, but I know what I don't know, and I know what. When I don't know something, I would go find it out. I will search a thing, all right, Trey, I'm gonna stop talking.

34:24 No, No, I'm listening to it because I know when when it's starting on this journey. I said, I don't because I never knew how to study anyway, you know, school. I never knew how to study. I was just a good listener and no taker. And depends on it depends on the subject. I can. You know, I said, okay, I got this, But if it was something it could studying I think got overwhelming for me because I didn't know what to study and trying to second guess what was going to be on the test what I needed to know. But with this, I'm glad you clarified that because that's one of the things too, that you know, I struggle with with with with just with with the Bible, just trying to okay, how do I study?

35:08 What is the first step? And I think you clarify it for our for our audience out there what they need to do, and so it doesn't become so intimidate. And so I appreciate you sharing that as well. But that was God. That was God. And and we're going to have more scriptures, you know, uh you know, Bible study in the sense if you want, I mean, as you because that's what God. That's why he's leading me. Now. So we're running that way and we stop when he tell us to stop. And I got And another thing God told me over the weekend was see you could go and make all the plans. You want to have a cookout and go to a graduation and celebrate a new year. But God's talking to you. You still got work to do. You know, He's got you twenty four seven, you know, and you Lord have my undivided attention, and he knows that. But he also told me, I got this is going to prepare you all for or Rashashawa and Kapoor, the Jewish high holidays that are coming up really fast in September. Okay, so we're gonna go over there and we'll definitely walk that out too throughout September and the first part of October. So you have to understand.

36:14 You'll hopefully you'll understand the reason why it's a it's a study that you need to just make a part of your life. Okay, so yes, one second, Yes, go for it. So I was just listening to because I was the audience members of whomever went out and fed those people, and I know they were saying that you're the teacher. But this is how God works. This is this is how God works. He sends someone to show you because if he talks to you, you might not recognize him. But if everybody looks Look how they used miss Gray to talk through you, to train you, to teach you, to tell you about God and what his you know, what His purposes for you could be.

36:55 And look what you're doing now. You're taking the initiative to do things that's God you in your purpose so that this is a great thing and that and that's the way I got it. But the thing is, you have to stay in the world and you have to stay with people and consult with people that are going to lead you the right way to do it. This is what Jesus would do, this is what God would do. And if you recognize everything, I don't care how much praise you throw at Missus Gray, just say that's God. Because God uses her to teach us to lead us leading. This is disciple, and that's that's that's that's why I'm back, and that's why you all are here. And that's why I guess what we don't need. I don't need to have another a growth of five thousand viewers. I don't need him because you all are making such a difference.

37:44 You're not even not only putting a dent in stuff, you putting a hole in it. By everywhere you make a decision. Y'all made the decision to come up with this. He blesses you right there because you made the decision to do it. And then when you do it, that's that double blessing because you still got things to come. He's gonna bless you. You may not have seen it on Sunday, you saw some of it. You saw the lives, the eyes brightening up, the smiles on folks faces, the thank you, maybe a tear in an eye that somebody was thinking about me. A pork roast and vegetables and fellowship. And we weren't where where were we Not in the church? It was where in the street? And what did you go up? And what did you do? The social worker creed, we meet you where you at. Can't make it up.

38:34 You just got to get there. You got to do that. I made an announcement on purpose. It wasn't while we were It wasn't for me. It was for who the crowds people that were there eating and enjoying the fellowship. And we had when Dixie check sodas. By the way, let me let me get y'all straight on that we had water, and we had when Dixie Check soda. We had grape. We had fruit punch soda, we had strawberry, we had urned, and my daughter got some cream and I said, I don't know who's gonna drink that, but that's weird, y'all, like that vanilla cream stuff. Anyway, I am a great fruit punch orange gal okay. And while they love the scripture, first sermon I spoke was all right, Elda, k.

39:16 Okay, come on now, come on now, wow. Tennessee is in the house. Come on now. But anyway, the announcement I made, which was for another, which was for somebody. Is a true a parent, an ideal parent's goal is to make if they have a child or children, is to help to make them successful, not to keep fundling money, not to accept the lies, not for them to be you know, bad and disobeying rules. No no, no, no no. A true parent and loves their children wants to see them be successful. And how is that You've become better than me? You become better than your parents. And I told, oh, my baby girl, in front of people, No, you've passed me.

40:03 She said, man, you got two master's degrees. I said, no, baby girl, you've passed me. Because at twenty I was still working for somebody else. At twenty four, I was still working for somebody else, punching a clock. You don't work for nobody else. And the person folks about all right, I said, Lord, don't let me have one on one with these people. You deal with them later in their dreams. Okay, because I'm talking to you, because your child right there too, And y'all came ready to fuss also, I announced, but those of you who pay with your boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wives, you come. If you didn't leave your mess in the car, I have the right to get in it if you bring it in this door. Because it's my playpan and you're not gonna bring it here. I have a right to get in your business. They're like, oh, They looked at each other. Some of the couples looked at each other. I said, I'm gonna get there. I got two friends who know me over thirty year. They're gonna back me up. Anyway. Any questions out there, we got a couple of minutes, guys, just a couple of minutes.

No. When you and I were met years ago, and I would say the hour we just stuff was my niche not realizing it was a God's gift because I wasn't there right then at that point.

41:46 Mm hmm. That's that's that's that's that's go ye and teach, go and preach the good news. Well, how better to preach good news than hand somebody who's on the street, who's made their car, their new house, who don't have show, whose family not even talking to them, and you hand them a meal, You hand them some food, and some of them will ask you do I have to pay for no? Take it. The biggest eye opener years ago was when we were talking to some homeless people. They said We appreciate all the food, but you give a cereal and we have no milk. I was telling people, no, you can't have a sandwich without chips. So if I'm giving you sandwiches, you're gonna have chips with me.
