God doesn't, slowly I learn towalk with God step by step. Say,
God wants you to walk with himstep by step. We're gonna go.
We're ahead of us and clear outthe way. Guys, I'm gonna
do a little. I'm gonna takecare of it. I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna do it little by little. I love that guy. Guys,
I'm gonna do it little, homeit, little by little. Because

(02:22):
well, God shot his patience theone thing we gonna have is what patience
because we are very impatient with everyThat's why we got more controls. I
can't talk to my phone now,I talk my phone. Shut up.
The other day it says we're gonnatalk to more. Dere I said,

(02:44):
Jack trip me like. I waslike, because let me know how,
I says. It's a lot.Govern says, but how can I help
you to shut out? It says, Derek, you don't gotta talk to
more. Okay, let me seeyou. But we don't have patience.

(03:12):
And because we don't have patience,God does things little by little, and
we can develop patience because God saysyou have to need a patience if you've
done the will of God. SoGod looks at my devy says, you
know what patience my favor. I'mvery impatient because when some come out,

(03:34):
I gotta go buy it right away. Do it? Everybody know that absence
game. I love that cind andsome come out I'm learning away. I
came now if I bathing Jesus becausebout my personal toil of my personality because
I never drunk, I never gothigh in the school, never did anything
like that. My family had anaddictionous problem. So I said I was

(03:55):
not gonna be addicted to anything.But see it worked. It worked in
opposite way that I started collecting.When I collected Yes, so I didn't
collect one DVD. I got likea thousand DVDs because because it's still in
addition, because what I did wasI got no phoo. That's my son

(04:19):
and my thorty phoono. They justamen. But it still came out of
me in other ways that if Ican't get you this way, I use
something that seemingly innocent. I hadto have a movie come out. I
would go buy four or five.I would skip a build about the movies.

(04:41):
I'body, I'm just giving. Thereal CD came out, I had
to go buy it, and Ihad to I had to make myself stop
buying why because what I was doingwas coming up. That's why I was
shot sometimes. That's why we eatsometimes because we're in happy and I when

(05:03):
I was younger, I was justgonna buy because the more I lie,
the more I felt though was gonnabe happy. He said, well,
I'm a lonely but he's gonna lookgood, don't we say that. I
ain't got no card but he's gonnalook good. He's like, gonnat you
movie something. He's saying, Butwe have needs said, you need a
patience. So I'm not gonna drive. I'm not gonna solve all your problems

(05:24):
at one time. I'm gonna doit little, but I'm look. I
want you to trust me. Godwants I trust, doesn't He says,
if I do it at one time, you gonna trust me or appreciate it?
Can I prove it to you?Three must not gonna Christmas. We're

(05:46):
gonna go by kill them hungry toyand they appreciate you. Can I just
be real? Everything you think theywant to buy, they play with one
of them and then the rest ofmy mom because we do too much sometimes,
don't we? So God said,Now if we get a little about
little, they appreciate nothing. SoGod said, I'm not gonna give you
off everything on one time because youaren't ship because you're gonna have your favorites

(06:13):
any things. You don't really careabout it. So God, if I
give it to you little by little, you learn how gonna walk and you
don't how to trust them if Igive you because what happens is every picture
that I get we get confidence,don't we Every test that you pass,
what happens, we get confidence,don't you You're like, Wow, I
pass that. I because my neighborI passed that. I fasten today.

(06:38):
I passed that. Your confidence billswhen you pass the test. But if
God gave you an exam at onetime, you're confidently destroyed with it because
you will be able to handle it. God said, I'm gonna do it
a little bout little, because ifI don't, it's if the wild Adams
won't be too much. How togive you the obstacle Because we're overcomers,

(07:02):
we are more in conquerors. IfI'm a conquord, I need something to
fight. What happens is when youstop fighting, you die spiritually. That's
why God always makes sure we gottabattle, because I have to keep on
the whole armor of God that insteadof his strategy in the devil, I

(07:23):
have to keep a norm because ifI don't keep the armor on. Once
I relize, we always had thebass life. Once I put the armor
down, once I stop fighting,we start we start going back because we
get more. So God says,I'm gonna do a little by little because
I'm trying to teach you something.I'm trying to teach you how to overcome.

(07:46):
We gotta learn to overcome. You'renot gonna have it. God did
everything for you. You don't knowhow to do anything, so God won't
shoot to learn to trust him ashe fight your battle. But God don't
only gon do one at a time. That's where you don't go to do
the romny eighty hungry with three yesyou go hungry and feeding you with your

(08:20):
mana yes to you. But Godsays, I taught you. I test
you now gonna take care of youbecause I allowed you to be hungry,
that I can feed you with manna. That was the manner of the word
man of means you. It's it'sheavenly food that came down from heaven to
the usual life when they wouldn't haveany food, and they ask God,

(08:41):
what's what is this? That's that'swhat matter. The word matter of means
what is this? So God says, I'm showing you I could take care
of you. He says, Ifed you with manner. We watch this.
He excuse me. He didn't toteach you that people not live right
alone rather right, but we didby every word. It comes out of

(09:05):
the God says it. This dailystuff is not enough. You gotta live
by men's down here. We're neversatisfied it. Stuff we have don't satisfy
it because it gets old. Welove our card first and we start hating
it once I break it out.And man, we we love our watches
and I think we get but itdoesn't satisfy Godai. You cannot live by

(09:26):
food. You gotta live out everyword, sell about for God, Gossa.
I want you to trust me totake care of you. So God
she gives us, test us andGod cares for us. Reverse four.
All these forty years you're closed.Look at that, Look at y'all,

(09:46):
Look at y'all. All y'all camethrough all you can't do, some hard
time thing, but you're still here. And it was only by Gospel that
you still here. Godship. Allthose years you thought you what're not gonna
made that, you made it outto You made it. You made it
and get yourself in hand. Youmade it off by God's crazy and all
these leaders you thought you gonna buyyourself because I was with you. Your

(10:07):
clothes and your clothes and even wearout. Can you imagine forty years in
the wilderness. Their clothes never woreout forty years, their shoes never got
too small. As they grew,their shoes grew. That's God's God.
God shown us I will take careof you. We don't watch this think

(10:31):
about it. The Lord. Yeah, oh, I love this, God
says, not even I care foryou, but I discipline you because how
do you know we need discipline becauseif we had when we get our own,
things will be crazy. But God, I gotta keep you a lying

(10:54):
And I thank God for every tests, every trial, because we're happits lie.
You are very annoying. That's whyyou went through so much stuff in
your life. Because the more stuffthat you came out of, the greater
annawting and God has for you.That's why you went through helling you're life
why because you can't when you getbad as pool fit. It takes you

(11:18):
annoyting to break the yos, thegreater stuff that y'all went through your life,
gossip, I'm doing it to producea greater annoying. That's why I
lay you now. It wasn't God'splan for you to get raped. It
wasn't God's planning you've been lessing.But God's I'm gonna use it from my
glory anyway, because God says thatpeople are out there with the same issues

(11:41):
that you can minister her to,that you can help because you came out
and you made it out a lie. The greater trials in your life,
the greater annoyting God gets you.That's why the devil tried to destroy you.
When he did, he knew theplan of God for your life.
The Baba says, and Jeremiah,he said, I called to Jeremiah before

(12:07):
you were born. When God calledShared before she was born. The devil
heard it. He said, well, I know God has called her,
so I'm gonna try to destroy her. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna I'm
gonna try to beat her down.I'm gonna try to brew. I'm gonna
try. I'm gonna destroy her.But God, so listen, you can
do that, but you can't cutyour life because I got a plan for

(12:30):
her life. God limit what's saying. Do you know? The Baba says,
here working out for the good?Why In other words, deaf you
were out there who Shared went throughthat. God, We're gonna use her
to get them that's annoying it.You can't. How can you preach if
you never go through that? Man, Man, how can you jump somebody

(12:52):
if you never went through anything.You gotta them and tell him listen.
I was there. God brought meout. I was sick for God healed
me. I was a drow,but God delivered me. That's why I
was raping, but God got methrough it. You can't help nobody if
you would never go through anything.Christ prove that he suffered first toy.

(13:16):
He went through for us. Thatway I can rely on him. When
I heard that, gonna go toLord, said Lord, I heard it.
I stopping there and I'm gonna getit. Strength. Are you here
because of God's stranger? There arepeople who went through what she went through,
with what you went through? Itdo you went through that? Have
killed themselves over lesser things, butyou're still here. There are women in

(13:43):
the institution mental why because what theywent but it was the safety you went
through. But God kept your mind, but they lost theirs. That's not
a God's grace, says me.God says, I'm gonna use you.
I'm gonna greet me. Annoying toGod. To you, God take what

(14:05):
the devil mean for evil and turnthe body make it good. That's how
God ain't a man. God lovesyou or nothing to say. You know
what evil gonna be in this world, but you know what it's gonna end.
One day. God's gonna get youthrough by his grace. God never
promises Christianas we weren't gonna suffer.He never told us that. He said

(14:28):
you aren't gonna suffer. Revelation Actsfourteen twenty two says we, through much
to relation and trials and tests,enter the Kingdom of God. In other
words, God is using me.God is stretching me. Because the greater
annoying that God has for you,the greater trial you go through, because
God will stretching and you that Godhas the mold will make you and put

(14:52):
his annoying in you. Because watchthis, you gotta be strong to carry
a strong annoying. And the moreyou go through, the stronger learning you
can carry. The greater preachers whodo great signs wants the miracles. They've
been through him. It didn't comeovernight. It can't because they put through

(15:13):
him. But you know what,it's gonna be worth it, because one
day the glory to God. You'llget rewarded for it. All you gotta
do it's just go through that testI call the stress test that God said,
I'm trying to get out of you. What's wrong in you? Don't
you want out of you? Wealways tell God, Lord used you don't

(15:33):
want you? Lord, I wantto be used by you. Lord,
take out of me anything that's nota right with you. So God does
here, We moves it. ButGod is a skillful surgeon. He doesn't
while leaving these scars, the devilthese scars. God was leaving these scars.
We don't watch this. That's right. So the Lord your God,

(15:58):
by walking with God is bringing sogods what I bring it to a good
land. The other words go,I'm gonna take you into it. Whether
God's promise you he has for you, but you gotta go through development.
God said, I can't give itto you all at once because you won't
be able to appreciate it. That'swhy you know, that's why God doesn't

(16:22):
give you every blessing right now.All our children are here, they have
different levels of maturity on You can'tgive your children your keys. Can't you
to your house and locked the doorbecause you know it's gonna happen. Your
door gonna be unlocked and they're gonnalose it. You can't give your children

(16:45):
twenty guys and go to the storebuying something that's gonna happen in hand.
So God says, I can't giveyou that rage yet until your ner on
the hand of your money. Somebodysaying name man, I can't give you
that money until you turn how topay your bills. Because the baba says,

(17:11):
old old man. Anything there asa God says, give unto Caesar
what Caesar's and give the gods God, God, if I gave you everything
you had, We say, lo, i'm my bills. We are lying.
We know we are not gonna payour bills. First thing you're gonna
do is get a cruise. Heyman, go vacation. Don't buy somewhere

(17:33):
you're gonna come back. Why youthink most Mari winners are broken the next
year. Yeah, you gonna havemy money, all that money. We
say, if I have I hadthis money, I'm saying because the issue
is not the money. The issueis on the inside of us. So
God says, I can't give youthat raise, that blessing until you first

(17:57):
learn how to handle what you alreadyhave, and if we can make it
more real is I can't give youanything greater until you appreciate what you have.
Because if we're gonna say, Lord, I need a car, but
God says you got two good feet, that somebody ain't got my feet.
Amen, you may say, well, Lord, I got a raggy house,

(18:18):
but there's somebody sit here on abus. Until the goring to praise
God in every such a way,every circumstance, Guys, I can't until
you don't want to praise me foreverything in the good times the bad time.
Because if I would bless the Lordand all times, his praise can
tell you it vire my mom passibleabout bless him at all times. In

(18:40):
other words, when I give Godpraise or my trials, guess what.
And when the mountain comes, Iappreciate it. But when I complain,
don't we complaining the whole process?Or you're going through? We complain and
God says, because you're complaining,you're not passing the test. He says,
I want you to go through apraise. I want you to go

(19:00):
through with prayer. When you gothrough always man, we go through mad
at God, mad at people,irritated, short, temper aggivated. God
says, you didn't pass that test. You don't go through begain one day
about God. You keep going onyour thank you, you get going through
that. That's over and old.While we're in the same place every year

(19:23):
because we've learned. Yet when welive, say Lou, I'm ana blessing
Lord, I don't care if Ihad no job. I'm gonna praise you.
I don't care if I had nohouse, I'm gonna praise you.
I don't care if I got thewhite ost husband. I'm gonna praise you
because you are still good. Onceyou had that attitude of gratefulness, God
begins to open. God sees you'regrowing. Your maturity level is growing now.

(19:45):
God like, I can trust youwith the keys. So and my
brother we were both good, butmy brother will always a lose keys.
So my mother never get him thekeys of the house. She gave it
to one. So she even thoughwe were at about two years apart,

(20:07):
she could not trust them with nokeys. The Bible says, I will
give you the keys to the kingdom. But God says you gotta grow up
first, because if I'm giving youthe keys right now, You're gonna lose
them. So God waits until westart growing. That stress test tests us

(20:27):
to see where I'm at, Sir, How am I developing If I'm in
the same place every year spiritually,something's wrong if I'm still far from the
same trap of the enemy because ofthat same neighbor out see what that same
woman. Somebody saying, man doingthe same old man. That shows me

(20:51):
I ain't growing and I'm not gettinganywhere. So i gotta say, you
know what, I'm tired of biga key garden. I want to go
to the first grade. Somebody saying, Hey, I'm tired of color with
cranes. You gotta want to getGod can't trust you with ink lick on
Facebook is killing ink all over theirface, going to you because oh you're

(21:11):
your kid, calling you on yourwall. You're just paying stuff because you're
kidn't because they don't know how tohandle that. Gossaid, I want to
give you the best. I wantto give you the best. I want
to give you the best, andI'm gonna close a one more thing,
dude around me. Eight about theblessing of the land. Sometimes your blessing

(21:33):
is the test. Can I prograceiveyou? Sometimes the blessing is the test.
When God gives you something eight alethereight a leathern dude around me eight
eleven got everybody is one thing?Yeah, Sometimes the blessing is the real

(22:03):
chest. But the time that yoube careful and be aware and plenty of
we be aware of that you andbe aware that in plenty of you do
not forget the Lord your God anddisobeys the man God. Will you have
plenty be care about forget you?It is strength. How will we get

(22:26):
stuff? We forget about God.We get the job, we forget about
check God, we get the house, We forget about God. Can you
rewatch this? Do not forget theLord your God and disabayed command, regulations
and decreases that I am giving youtoday. But when you have me fool

(22:47):
and processes and feel fine homes andliving, and your flocks of hers have
been very large, and your silverand gold have been walking about along with
everything else. Be careful, donot be proud at the time and forget
the Lord your God who rescued youfrom God. So happens. Sometimes we

(23:11):
forget where we can, we forgetthe years that we struggle and we turn
our backs on God. Isn't itfunny? And how we can pray for
jobs, get jobs and then don'tcome to church. He said, lord
y, I want to know whenwe unemployed were always praying and seeing God.

(23:34):
And as soon as God give yourjob, you forgot all about Come
on saying, man's about we weI gotta go to work, I gotta
do it. I gotta week forhe says. When I bless you with
all these things, says, bewareunless you forget got you. You came
out of Egypt. I don't bondget you. Read all my steps I
can not forget. Do not forgetthat He led you through the great and

(24:03):
terrifl terrifying wilderness with the boys ofhis snakes and the surfus where it was
too hot and too drug. Hegave you water to ro ancestors to humble
test you for your own h Hedid what he did it to humble you

(24:23):
and test you to whose your ownGood God that I did it for your
benefit. God gets the pleasure.God does it for our benefit. The
Bible says in Heroes, no checkingfor the president is joyous but grievous,
but afterwards it yields about the peacewere fruitsless salvation. That means when I'm

(24:45):
going through a test, it's hurting, but it's the after words that I
get the results. You really watchedthis. He did all this so that
you would never say to yourself,I have achieved this well from my own
strength and energy. Remember is theone who gives you power to six in

(25:07):
order to fulfill a covenant. Gods. I gave you the power to get
that job. I gave you thatpower to get the house. I gave
you the power. It was guysthat it was me who blessed you to
get those things. But I didit exactly. I did it so you
can establish my covenant. I didit so you can give thee glory for
what happened. When we get allthose things, we soon be apart from

(25:30):
God. God said, we forgetthat it was God who gave us the
power to get those things and tohave those things. The tests is sometimes
a blessing the city. Once Ihit the blessing, how I'm gonna be
actual? Am I gonna be getfulto get what God has brought me from?

(25:51):
Give get God the glory. Andyou know, because what happens is
we should be here telling people,you know what, I was faithful and
godless, I wouldn't do my trialand God bless me. What it does?
It encouraged somebody else saying, youknow what, if God bless Terry,
God don't bless me. If Godbless Sherrick, God won't bless me.
But you're not here. No oneknows. Keep requtch this my clothes

(26:15):
with us. But if you everforget to know your God and follow other
guys and bottle you down to them, you will certainly be destroyed the enemy.
God said. If you go backGod Sai and it's not God destroyed

(26:36):
you. We destroy ourselves by followingother gods. God of our car God
of our jobs, the God ofour money, money, God of our
romances, relationships. We put allthose things before our heavenly Father and when
he the one that gave you powerto get off those things. This is
