Bishop TD Jakes - The Discipline of Doing

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
I used to say, one man built his house on sand,
and another man built it on the rock. But I
overlooked the fact that the guy who built on the
rock did not build on the rock because the rock
was there. He built on the rock because he dug
to the rock. So when we are doers of the word,

(00:26):
we will dig for the rock. If you are hearers
of the world word, you go for the promise without
the preparation. But in being a door of the word,
you will prep for the promise because you know the

(00:51):
promise is shata. You know, the promise is big enough
that it justifies operation so that when it does appear,
it will not disappear. Oh y'all, don't hear what I'm saying.
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah. If somebody in

(01:11):
here understands what I'm talking about. Look at somebody said,
I'm working on something. I'm working on something. I'm working
on something. I know. I know it doesn't look like
I'm working on something because you don't see no bricks,
and you don't see no fancy door, says, you don't
see no gables yet. But I'm working on something. I know.
It looks like I got a big old hole in
my yard. But I'm working on something. I know. I
don't have shrubs like he got. I don't have roses

(01:33):
like she has. I don't have stone walls like he has.
That's all right, I'm looking shabby, but I'm working on something.
When I get through digging down to this rock. As
soon as I hit her, God is saying, it is

(01:53):
worth it to hit the rock. It is worth it
to look bad for a little while and come up
looking good for a lifetime. Tend to look good for
a minute and come down in a flash. I need
some slow cook people in this room. I need some

(02:15):
people that's been through hell and back. I need some
people that's been dug down to the rock and said,
having done all the stand, I'm gonna stand any way. Oh,
if you got a rock in you, give the Lord
a praise right now. Yes, yes,
