Speaker 1 (00:00):
Don't litigate over how much you have a right to
have what I got, because until you suffered what I suffered,
floated through what I floated through, Survive what I survived.
Don't be frustrated because some princess pulled me out the
water and put me in the palace. If you weren't
(00:22):
gonna float down with the alligators, then don't complain about
me eating in the palace. Deces theves God bless you,
my friends. We are together again and we're excited about it.
We've been sharing a series that is blessing God's people.
(00:42):
The series is The Verd. The message today is don't
let the chatter stop you. I cannot tell you how
many people tweeted me at Bishop Jakes to tell me
this message bless him in a powerful way when I
preached it. Because so many people are distracted by the
chatter around them to the point that they cannot focus
(01:03):
on the goal before them. The message don't let the
chatter stop you. Maybe what you need to get your
focus back. Check it out now. Moses is a grown man.
We are seeing him close to forty years old. He's
a grown man. He's blessed, he got things he wouldn't
(01:26):
have gotten any other way. Education by the Egyptians, the
Egyptian culture we are still studying. Their advancement in technology
is still intimidating even to modern scientists today. Their architectural
abilities have caused people to travel for miles to study
(01:46):
the Pyramids. Moses was exposed to that in a way
he would have never been exposed had he not gone
through the adversity in his house. He would have never
been exposed to the opportunity adversity, opportunity, adversity, opportunity, adversity, opportunity.
Every time he had an adversity, he had an opportunity.
He's forty years old, and he's got the opportunities that
(02:07):
people would kill for, got the opportunities that other people
would have died for. Got to go places and do
things and understand things that had he stayed in the
house he started in, he would have never gotten. All
he would have known how to do was make bricks
without straw. But God pulled him out. And sometimes when
(02:28):
God pulls you out of your natural environment, it's painful.
You suffer a lot. And he didn't pull you out
to kill you. He pulled you out to bless you.
Now he's forty, he's near forty years old, and he's blessed.
He's blessed. He's educated, he's articulate, he's intelligent, he's bilingual.
(02:51):
He's blessed. But he's confused. Oh Lord, I wish I
had that. You can be blessed and still be confused.
He's all dressed up and confused. He's a grown man
(03:15):
with little boy issues, struggling and suffering on the inside,
and walking around and all of the Egyptian capes and
all dressed up like he's a prince. He looks like
a prince, but he's not. He's a Hebrew by blood,
but he's not. He's neither Egyptian nor Hebrew. He's stuck
(03:40):
in the middle. And he looks out the window and
he sees two men fighting, a Hebrew and an Egyptian fighting.
What he sees on the outside is a reflection of
what's going on on the inside. If I say nothing
else this morning, I have said it all, because if
(04:02):
you can grasp what I just said, then you realize
that what you see on the outside is a reflection
of what is going on on the inside. But you
see on the outside, I wish I had time since
to really work there. I was sitting with a bunch
of psychologists and they were counseling the woman that was
(04:25):
saying that she'd been contemplating suicide. And the psychologist said, oh, no, no,
she's not going to commit suicide. I said, how can
you say that with such absoluteness? They said, her hair
is come, she brushed her teeth, her clothes are pressed.
(04:47):
What you see on the outside is a reflection of
what's going on on the inside. Do you hear what
I'm saying? There's fighting on the outside, comforts fighting on
(05:10):
the inside. I'm gonna drill into that a little bit
interesting point. In thirty five years of counseling people, I've
counseled all kinds of angry men. I've counseled men who
beat their wives. I mean beat them, beat them, mercilessly,
hit them, and the head was kill its and wrenches
and stuff like that, through hot oil on them, all
(05:31):
kinds of stuff on my life. But I never saw
a man who beat his wife and liked himself. What
you see on the outside is the reflection of the
conflict on the inside. That I could go home now,
because if you did that justice. You could spend the
(05:54):
next twenty four hours going through your life saying, what
are you see? Going through the trunk of your car,
through your garage, through your house. What you see on
the outside is the reflection of what's going on in
the inside. If you're happy to live in clutter, I'm
not gonna bother you. I'm not gonna bother you. Now
(06:20):
we all have to live in it. But if you're
happy to live in clutter, if you're comfortable and it
doesn't bother you, maybe it doesn't bother you. Because what
you see he sees the fighting on the outside, it's
a reflection of the fight on the inside. He raises
(06:41):
his hand to stop it. He's trying to stop it
in them, so he can stop it in him. The
fight on the outside forced him to confront the conflict
on the inside. All of a sudden, He's been conflicted
for forty years, but some circumstances arose in his life
(07:02):
that brought to the surface the inner conflict that he
has in his soul. And he rises up because now
face with a Hebrew and an Egyptian fighting, he now
has to choose whose side are you on? Forty years
have not demanded that he make a choice, but one
(07:25):
incident has pushed his emotions to the surface. Do you
choose your conditioning or your pedigree? Now he chooses his background,
his heritage, and he kills an Egyptian, kills an Egyptian
(07:48):
and buries him in the sand. Looking to the left
of the right, he sees nobody and buries it in
the sand. Four hours later, what he sees on the
outside is totally different from what he saw yesterday. He
does not see an Egyptian and a Hebrew fighting because
(08:12):
he's made a choice, only to find out that there's
still conflict. The Hebrews are fighting, and he rises up
to solve it. Now, this is when a woman is
birthing a baby. They call it crowning. When the head
first comes out. The head, it's the first thing come out.
(08:33):
You hear the nurse say, it's crowning. His greatness is crowning.
His greatness is crowning. But he's crowning at a time
that he is not positionally in a place to function
on the level that he's able to think on. So
he's functioning like a king, but he is not a king.
(08:55):
And so you got an internal conflict that has now
gone external. Think with me, Church. One of the things
I love about preaching at the Potter's House is that
you are a thinking people I cannot pastor people who
do not think. I'm allergic to them. They make me
it delivering me from stupid people. Just I'm gonna add
(09:23):
that line to the Lord's prayer, deliver us from evil
and stupid people. Just I'm just gonna insert it write
in there, just to delitate me out of the chase.
Have you ever had an argument with the food? You
lose all interest in the argument when you find out
that you are not even intelligent enough to debate me
(09:45):
on this level, and you start saying, that's okay, don't
even worry about it, it's all good. Maybe just chill
rock with the music, honey, it's all right, It don't
even matter. Talk to the hand. Yeah. Yeah. He's in
a dilima now and he is fighting. He is fighting.
(10:09):
His greatness is coming out. It's crowning. And when greatness crowns,
it creates conflict because it does not crown when you
have been placed in the position. It crowns before you're rich,
before you got the money, you're educated, before you got
(10:31):
the degree. You're a preacher before they ordain you. You're
a leader before you get the job. You're a visionary
before you become a CEO. You're a wife before you
get married. You're a husband before you find a woman.
If you're not that before, you won't be after. So
(10:53):
you have to go through a period of displacement where
you have vision to function on a level and don't
have opportunity, which creates frustration because you say, I feel
this with everything I got inside of me, but nothing
outside has acknowledged me on the level that I think on,
(11:16):
And you don't feel appreciated because your thoughts are up
here and your situation. Do you hear what I'm saying
to you?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Still? To come on the potterstatch?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I had no idea I was even important enough to
be hated on the level I was hated on. I
couldn't even defend myself because I was shocked that you
cared enough to write anything about me. Who am I
that you would care? Anyway? Your hatred of me helped
(11:51):
to tutor me and to understanding my own significance. Oh y'all,
will hear what I'm saying? What do you do with
the fire that will not go.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
The weight is over. God wants to use you in
extraordinary ways. Now great things are ahead of you. You're
on the verge.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
You are not just going from day to day, week
to week, month to month. And now you're getting ready
step into another year. You are standing on the cuss
of an entirely new awakening. There's a burning desire down
the side of you that will not shut up. I
got the plains, but I got the passion too. I
got the problem, but I got the passion too. I
(12:32):
got a little chatter going on, but I still got
the passion. Life is gonna hand you something every day.
Take in what you can get out of it, let
go what you can't get out of it. But don't
let anybody hurt you so bad. Bad yield shout.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
The weight is over. It's time to make your life count.
Order the verge today. Visit our website or call one
eight hundred Bishop too.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Now look at the conflict for a minute. If it
were not enough conflict to be a Egyptian speaking Hebrew,
a cultural conflict with an unresolved childhood. Now God is
bringing greatness out of a man who doesn't have a
position to match his intellect. A weaker person would have
(13:31):
blown their brains out. I said, this is just crazy.
This doesn't make any sense. Some of y'all are there
right now. Your life does not make any sense. You're
in the middle of your life and it doesn't make
any sense because you've got thoughts over here, but your
situation is over here, and you're still trying to work
out some stuff from your childhood. But you're a grown man,
(13:53):
Praise the Lord, and you're in this situation and you're
trying to fix people around you while you're still conflicted
on the inside. And you wonder, how can the physician
be sick? How can the healer be broken? How can
I help other people and can't help myself? How can I,
oh God, help me to preach this thing? Am I
(14:17):
talking to anybody today? He's forty years old, and he's
trying to get it together, and he's trying to figure
it out, and he's running out of time, and he's
trying to help me. He's trying to make a difference
in spite of his background, in spite of his childhood,
in spite of his conflict, He's trying to make a difference.
He's trying to make a difference. There's something down inside
(14:38):
of him. He can't figure out what it is. Nobody's
taking ownership of it. The Egyptians having embraced it, the
Hebrews don't like it. Moses doesn't understand it yet. When
he sees conflict, he runs in there with a big
s on his shirt, and he runs out there with
kaping his boots on. And he's trying to help people
who don't even like him. Have you ever tried to
(15:00):
help people who don't even appreciate the help you're trying
to give them? And there you are, trying to make
a difference in their life, and the very people you
trying to help are giving you the most hell you
ever had in all of your life, because you have
never been hurt till you get hurt by somebody you
trying to help. Oh, I wish I had somebody who
(15:22):
had been misunderstood. I wish I had somebody who was
trying to do a good thing. And every time you
tried to do something good, things got worse than stood
are better. The more Moses trying to help people, the
bigger mess he found himself. Here. He's got a dead
man buried in the sand, and he's out there in
another fight. And before he can get out of this,
(15:44):
here comes that, and before he can straighten out that,
here comes something else. Look like every twenty four hours,
a new kind of fight breaks out in your life.
Is there anybody in church today that every time you
turn around, scared to answer phone, scared to open up
your own email, He'll say, Lord, if another fight breaks
(16:06):
out in my life, I got fighting on the inside.
I got fighting on the outside. I got fighting in
my personal life. I got Oh God, I'm talking for somebody.
I don't even know who it is. And I want
you to see the irony. These two Hebrews are fighting.
(16:29):
Moses comes out to break up the fight, and one
of the Hebrews, he's not trying to kill anybody. He's
just trying to say, go home, don't fight. And one
of the Hebrews said, who are you to be trying
to straighten us out? Who made you prince? Who did
make him prince? The Lord had made him prince, but
(16:54):
he was trying to do the right thing at the
wrong time. Don't try to get there before you're there.
Just because you can think there, you have not been
placed there. You can be anointed and not be appointed.
(17:19):
You can be anointed to be king over Israel, David,
and then have to be sent back out there to
shovel sheep down. Because one of the tests of greatness
is your ability to survive frustration. So God will put
greatness in isolation, which creates frustration, because you have to
(17:45):
be able to survive frustration in order to be eligible
to become a leader. Because if you can't handle internal frustration,
you sure can't handle external frustration. If frustration on on
the inside is gonna make you quit, what in the
world are you gonna do when you have frustration on
the outside. So when God is getting you ready for
(18:07):
frustration on the outside, he lets you deal with a
lot of frustration on the inside so that you can
learn how to be frustrated and still be faithful frustrated
and still be consistent frustrated and still be diligent. I'm
talking to somebody. I don't know who it is, but
I'm talking to somebody this morning. So here he is,
(18:31):
and he's trying to yes shout with me. Baby. I
feel something about to break loose in here this morning.
I feel their knowing of God about to break loose.
In here. See, when you hear this is how we
express ourselves. But when you hear people holler like that,
that means truth hits you. When truth hits you in
the face, all of a sudden, you have a reaction
to it. Because I'm preaching to you about one thing.
(18:54):
But God is showing you different things in your life
that fit what I'm preaching about. That's a miracle of
preaching the gospel. And so the guy says, to him,
who made you prince over us? His prophecy is in
the mouth of his enemies. His prophecy is in the
(19:25):
mouth of his enemies. I learned more about who I
was from my haters. I had no idea I was
even important enough to be hated on the level I
was hated on. I couldn't even defend myself because I
(19:48):
was shocked that you cared enough to write anything about me.
Who am I that you would care? Anyway? Your hatred
of me helped to tutor me and to understanding my
old significance. Oh y'all, will hear what I'm saying? Oh?
(20:08):
My God, So his haters now have said to him,
who made you prince over us? And then he says
this is where I want to hammer down, he said,
are you gonna kill me like you did the guy yesterday. Now,
on one hand, he has just discovered that he is
(20:31):
a prince, and that knew it. Anointed but not appointed,
has greatness that hasn't been revealed yet, and that's a
wonderful thing. In the next sentence, he finds out that
his past has come back to haunting what the first
(20:51):
sentence should have made him say? You know, yeah, I'm
gonna be prince over you. That's right. God has just
showing you what he's already showed me. But the prince
is a liar and a murderer. What do you do
(21:12):
when you got holiness and freakiness? I'm gonna look right
over top of everybody's head, Amen, likes what do you do?
(21:40):
Y'all look so guilty? Y'all didn't. If y'all didn't look
so funny, I wouldn't know it was you. But I
don't know nothing about you. I just passed her here.
I'll go home with you. But what do you do?
(22:01):
Ain't life crazy? It's a mess? Say is a mass.
It don't make no sense, man, I tell you, That's
why I get it into word because I'm trying to
figure it out, because they're crazy. It's crazy. What do
you do when you got so much strength in you
that everybody comes to you, and everybody leans on you,
and everybody depends on you, and everybody comes to you
for answers. And you are a strong person, but you
(22:21):
are equally a weak person. You're a powerful person, but
you're also a tired person. And people see one side
and they don't see the other side. Am I talking
to anybody today? He is a prince over them. He
(22:45):
will deliver them, he will bring them out from the
hands of faith. Wealh he's all of that. But he
also just lied and killed a man and buried him
and hid the body. Now ain't that crazy? I say
all of this to comfort you. Aren't you glad you
(23:06):
came to church this morning? Now? What's this? The enemy
will always send a terrorist alert when you are close
to your destiny. Stay tuned, and I've got more for
(23:28):
you in just a moment. What do you do with
the fire that will not go?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
The weight is over. God wants to use you in
extraordinary ways. Now, great things are ahead of you. You're
on the bird.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
You are not just going from day to day, week
to week, month to month. And now you're getting ready
step into another year. You are standing on the cusp
of an entirely new awakening. There's a burning desire down
the side of you that will not shut up. I
got the pain, but I got the passion too. I
got the but I got the passion too. I got
(24:02):
a little chatter going on, but I still got the passion.
Life is gonna hand you something every day. Take in
what you can get out of it. Let go on
what you can get out of it. But don't let
anybody hurt you so bad. Bad yield shout.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
The way is over. It's time to make your life count.
Order the Verge today, visit our website or call one
eight hundred Bishop too long before the season of trials,
God already provided what you need exit strategies. There is
a way out.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Missus Jakes. She said, I know this is painful, but
when you get the next pain push. I know what
you're going through is painful. But when you get your
next pain.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Push in your darkest hour, how can you I feel trapped?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Wow, I Jesus say this, that will be a resurrection.
Wob I see that's somebody's gonna get up, somebody's gonna
get up, somebody's gotta get a loose shut up.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
For your best gift, receive acted strategies plus three prayer journals,
and for your gift of one hundred and fifty dollars
or more, you'll add a resurrection candleholder set with communion
kit when you visit our website or call one eight
hundred Bishop too.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
The world is in chaos, our churches are under fire.
Our leaders need a new set of tactics and strategies.
Let them know it's coming coming. T. D. Jakes Presents
Pastors and Leaders, twenty thirteen. No church left behind behind
(25:54):
sign up today, did ready to get ready, to get ready.
I am so excited to be able to offer something
for your entire family. Yes, woman, though ant, loose and
manpower want to converge in the city of Dallas at
the same time. But not only that, we are planning
all kinds of activities for your children, for your grandchildren,
(26:16):
activities for your family. Come to Dallas, Texas Megafests is
going to be absolutely awesome. Or you can have a
good talent. The Bible says in Hebrews that the gifts
and callings of God are without repentance. When I grew up,
(26:36):
they taught us that that meant that people could be
gifted without repenting. But when I studied the texts, what
it really means is that once God calls you, he
does not repent. He does not change his mind, he
does not take it back.
Don't litigate over how much you have a right to
have what I got, because until you suffered what I suffered,
floated through what I floated through, Survive what I survived.
Don't be frustrated because some princess pulled me out the
water and put me in the palace. If you weren't
(00:22):
gonna float down with the alligators, then don't complain about
me eating in the palace. Deces theves God bless you,
my friends. We are together again and we're excited about it.
We've been sharing a series that is blessing God's people.
(00:42):
The series is The Verd. The message today is don't

He's forty years old, and he's got the opportunities that
(02:07):
people would kill for, got the opportunities that other people
would have died for. Got to go places and do
things and understand things that had he stayed in the

You suffer a lot. And he didn't pull you out

Now he's forty, he's near forty years old, and he's blessed.
He's blessed. He's educated, he's articulate, he's intelligent, he's bilingual.
(02:51):
He's blessed. But he's confused. Oh Lord, I wish I
had that. You can be blessed and still be confused.
He's all dressed up and confused. He's a grown man
(03:15):
with little boy issues, struggling and suffering on the inside,
and walking around and all of the Egyptian capes and

it delivering me from stupid people. Just I'm gonna add
(09:23):
that line to the Lord's prayer, deliver us from evil
and stupid people. Just I'm just gonna insert it write
in there, just to delitate me out of the chase.
Have you ever had an argument with the food? You
lose all interest in the argument when you find out
that you are not even intelligent enough to debate me
(09:45):
on this level, and you start saying, that's okay, don't
even worry about it, it's all good. Maybe just chill
rock with the music, honey, it's all right, It don't
even matter. Talk to the hand. Yeah. Yeah. He's in
a dilima now and he is fighting. He is fighting.
(10:09):
His greatness is coming out. It's crowning. And when greatness crowns,
it creates conflict because it does not crown when you
have been placed in the position. It crowns before you're rich,
before you got the money, you're educated, before you got
(10:31):
the degree. You're a preacher before they ordain you. You're
a leader before you get the job. You're a visionary
before you become a CEO. You're a wife before you
get married. You're a husband before you find a woman.
If you're not that before, you won't be after. So
(10:53):
you have to go through a period of displacement where
you have vision to function on a level and don't
have opportunity, which creates frustration because you say, I feel
this with everything I got inside of me, but nothing
outside has acknowledged me on the level that I think on,
(11:16):
And you don't feel appreciated because your thoughts are up
here and your situation. Do you hear what I'm saying
to you?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Still? To come on the potterstatch?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I had no idea I was even important enough to
be hated on the level I was hated on. I
couldn't even defend myself because I was shocked that you
cared enough to write anything about me. Who am I
that you would care? Anyway? Your hatred of me helped
(11:51):
to tutor me and to understanding my own significance. Oh y'all,
will hear what I'm saying? What do you do with
the fire that will not go.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
The weight is over. God wants to use you in
extraordinary ways. Now great things are ahead of you. You're
on the verge.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
You are not just going from day to day, week
to week, month to month. And now you're getting ready
step into another year. You are standing on the cuss
of an entirely new awakening. There's a burning desire down
the side of you that will not shut up. I
got the plains, but I got the passion too. I
got the problem, but I got the passion too. I
(12:32):
got a little chatter going on, but I still got
the passion. Life is gonna hand you something every day.
Take in what you can get out of it, let
go what you can't get out of it. But don't
let anybody hurt you so bad. Bad yield shout.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
The weight is over. It's time to make your life count.
Order the verge today. Visit our website or call one
eight hundred Bishop too.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Now look at the conflict for a minute. If it
were not enough conflict to be a Egyptian speaking Hebrew,
a cultural conflict with an unresolved childhood. Now God is
bringing greatness out of a man who doesn't have a
position to match his intellect. A weaker person would have
(13:31):
blown their brains out. I said, this is just crazy.
This doesn't make any sense. Some of y'all are there
right now. Your life does not make any sense. You're
in the middle of your life and it doesn't make
any sense because you've got thoughts over here, but your
situation is over here, and you're still trying to work
out some stuff from your childhood. But you're a grown man,
(13:53):
Praise the Lord, and you're in this situation and you're
trying to fix people around you while you're still conflicted
on the inside. And you wonder, how can the physician
be sick? How can the healer be broken? How can
I help other people and can't help myself? How can I,
oh God, help me to preach this thing? Am I
(14:17):
talking to anybody today? He's forty years old, and he's
trying to get it together, and he's trying to figure
it out, and he's running out of time, and he's
trying to help me. He's trying to make a difference
in spite of his background, in spite of his childhood,
in spite of his conflict, He's trying to make a difference.
He's trying to make a difference. There's something down inside
(14:38):
of him. He can't figure out what it is. Nobody's
taking ownership of it. The Egyptians having embraced it, the
Hebrews don't like it. Moses doesn't understand it yet. When
he sees conflict, he runs in there with a big
s on his shirt, and he runs out there with
kaping his boots on. And he's trying to help people
who don't even like him. Have you ever tried to
(15:00):
help people who don't even appreciate the help you're trying
to give them? And there you are, trying to make
a difference in their life, and the very people you
trying to help are giving you the most hell you
ever had in all of your life, because you have
never been hurt till you get hurt by somebody you
trying to help. Oh, I wish I had somebody who
(15:22):
had been misunderstood. I wish I had somebody who was
trying to do a good thing. And every time you
tried to do something good, things got worse than stood
are better. The more Moses trying to help people, the
bigger mess he found himself. Here. He's got a dead
man buried in the sand, and he's out there in
another fight. And before he can get out of this,
(15:44):
here comes that, and before he can straighten out that,
here comes something else. Look like every twenty four hours,
a new kind of fight breaks out in your life.
Is there anybody in church today that every time you
turn around, scared to answer phone, scared to open up
your own email, He'll say, Lord, if another fight breaks
(16:06):
out in my life, I got fighting on the inside.
I got fighting on the outside. I got fighting in
my personal life. I got Oh God, I'm talking for somebody.
I don't even know who it is. And I want
you to see the irony. These two Hebrews are fighting.
(16:29):
Moses comes out to break up the fight, and one
of the Hebrews, he's not trying to kill anybody. He's
just trying to say, go home, don't fight. And one
of the Hebrews said, who are you to be trying
to straighten us out? Who made you prince? Who did
make him prince? The Lord had made him prince, but
(16:54):
he was trying to do the right thing at the
wrong time. Don't try to get there before you're there.
Just because you can think there, you have not been
placed there. You can be anointed and not be appointed.
(17:19):
You can be anointed to be king over Israel, David,
and then have to be sent back out there to
shovel sheep down. Because one of the tests of greatness
is your ability to survive frustration. So God will put
greatness in isolation, which creates frustration, because you have to
(17:45):
be able to survive frustration in order to be eligible
to become a leader. Because if you can't handle internal frustration,
you sure can't handle external frustration. If frustration on on
the inside is gonna make you quit, what in the
world are you gonna do when you have frustration on
the outside. So when God is getting you ready for
(18:07):
frustration on the outside, he lets you deal with a
lot of frustration on the inside so that you can
learn how to be frustrated and still be faithful frustrated
and still be consistent frustrated and still be diligent. I'm
talking to somebody. I don't know who it is, but
I'm talking to somebody this morning. So here he is,
(18:31):
and he's trying to yes shout with me. Baby. I
feel something about to break loose in here this morning.
I feel their knowing of God about to break loose.
In here. See, when you hear this is how we
express ourselves. But when you hear people holler like that,
that means truth hits you. When truth hits you in
the face, all of a sudden, you have a reaction
to it. Because I'm preaching to you about one thing.
(18:54):
But God is showing you different things in your life
that fit what I'm preaching about. That's a miracle of
preaching the gospel. And so the guy says, to him,
who made you prince over us? His prophecy is in
the mouth of his enemies. His prophecy is in the
(19:25):
mouth of his enemies. I learned more about who I
was from my haters. I had no idea I was
even important enough to be hated on the level I
was hated on. I couldn't even defend myself because I
(19:48):
was shocked that you cared enough to write anything about me.
Who am I that you would care? Anyway? Your hatred
of me helped to tutor me and to understanding my
old significance. Oh y'all, will hear what I'm saying? Oh?
(20:08):
My God, So his haters now have said to him,
who made you prince over us? And then he says
this is where I want to hammer down, he said,
are you gonna kill me like you did the guy yesterday. Now,
on one hand, he has just discovered that he is
(20:31):
a prince, and that knew it. Anointed but not appointed,
has greatness that hasn't been revealed yet, and that's a
wonderful thing. In the next sentence, he finds out that
his past has come back to haunting what the first
(20:51):
sentence should have made him say? You know, yeah, I'm
gonna be prince over you. That's right. God has just
showing you what he's already showed me. But the prince
is a liar and a murderer. What do you do
(21:12):
when you got holiness and freakiness? I'm gonna look right
over top of everybody's head, Amen, likes what do you do?
(21:40):
Y'all look so guilty? Y'all didn't. If y'all didn't look
so funny, I wouldn't know it was you. But I
don't know nothing about you. I just passed her here.
I'll go home with you. But what do you do?
(22:01):
Ain't life crazy? It's a mess? Say is a mass.
It don't make no sense, man, I tell you, That's
why I get it into word because I'm trying to
figure it out, because they're crazy. It's crazy. What do
you do when you got so much strength in you
that everybody comes to you, and everybody leans on you,
and everybody depends on you, and everybody comes to you
for answers. And you are a strong person, but you
(22:21):
are equally a weak person. You're a powerful person, but
you're also a tired person. And people see one side
and they don't see the other side. Am I talking
to anybody today? He is a prince over them. He
(22:45):
will deliver them, he will bring them out from the
hands of faith. Wealh he's all of that. But he
also just lied and killed a man and buried him
and hid the body. Now ain't that crazy? I say
all of this to comfort you. Aren't you glad you
(23:06):
came to church this morning? Now? What's this? The enemy
will always send a terrorist alert when you are close
to your destiny. Stay tuned, and I've got more for
(23:28):
you in just a moment. What do you do with
the fire that will not go?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
The weight is over. God wants to use you in
extraordinary ways. Now, great things are ahead of you. You're
on the bird.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
You are not just going from day to day, week
to week, month to month. And now you're getting ready
step into another year. You are standing on the cusp
of an entirely new awakening. There's a burning desire down
the side of you that will not shut up. I
got the pain, but I got the passion too. I
got the but I got the passion too. I got
(24:02):
a little chatter going on, but I still got the passion.
Life is gonna hand you something every day. Take in
what you can get out of it. Let go on
what you can get out of it. But don't let
anybody hurt you so bad. Bad yield shout.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
The way is over. It's time to make your life count.

all kinds of activities for your children, for your grandchildren,

activities for your family. Come to Dallas, Texas Megafests is
going to be absolutely awesome. Or you can have a
good talent. The Bible says in Hebrews that the gifts
and callings of God are without repentance. When I grew up,
(26:36):
they taught us that that meant that people could be
gifted without repenting. But when I studied the texts, what
it really means is that once God calls you, he
does not repent. He does not change his mind, he
does not take it back.
