He's going to do a great work for the Lord in the house of the Lord on this morning. Been absent from this place. Been in the presence of the Lord throughout this season. But it's good to be back in the presence of God's people on this Sunday about the season. But it wasn't the same without everybody being here. Amen, amen. Scripture said we should not forsake to symbol ourselves together as the time begins to draw near. And we know that the time is short. We see it throughout all of society. Jesus is coming soon. I said, Jesus is coming soon. Amen. I'm excited on this day. I'm looking for the return of Jesus. Amen. He's going to come for His people. I'm glad that I'm going to be in the number when the saints go marching in. Amen, amen. Delighted for each of you who are here today. Before we go to the message, I want to call somebody. They have a report card. I'm going to recall. I'm going to call for this person. And the name of this person is, let me see what the name is. The name is Tunisia Rashon Bruce. She got her report card. Now, at this church, yeah, that's your mama, at this church, we celebrate education. Amen. God's got some educated people, too. God has educated people who have determined to be something for the kingdom. When a person puts forth an effort to enrich their ability to work for God, we celebrate that. I just want to call off these grays here. OK, right here. First thing is public administration. She got an A minus in that. What is that organization? And human behavior, she got an A in that. In public budgeting, she got an A in that. What is the SEM? Public administration policy, she got an A in that. And furthermore, research method, she got an A minus in that. And in ethics and profession, she got a B plus in that. In some kind of way, I'm not getting past that. See, this is a little something different. All right. OK, do you have it right here? All right. That young man to the rescue, Michael to the rescue. This is his mama, y'all. All right. Human resources, A minus. A graduate project, she got a credit. That's a credit, no credit. She got a credit. Then oral leadership. Oh, organizational leadership. Guess what she got in that? She got an A in that. And so all of these here, you did a lot of work. OK, you've got to tell me what this is right now. That is seminar and public management. Seminar and public management. She got a strategic management. She got an A minus. Public policy analysis, B plus. Human resources management, A minus. So now I'm excited. I'm excited. It excites me when God's people have ambition. Amen, the Lord didn't save you for you to sit around on a stump with a toothpick in your mouth. Daydreaming, he called us to serve. We bring glory to his name. And the scripture said, and he used them according to their several ability. See, he can't use you if you ain't got no ability. So we celebrate her. And so I have a piece of paper that goes along with her grades. It says, California State University. The trustees of the California State University on recommendation of the faculty of the California State University here confer upon Tanisha Rashon Bruce, the degree of Master of Public Administration. Master, master. Master of Public Administration. With all the rights and privileges pertaining thereto, given in Northridge, California on the 23rd day of September, 2022. Let's praise the Lord for what he's done. Praise the Lord for his servant. Amen. God bless you, Minister Bruce. I just want to share something with you guys. I didn't plan on saying this, but it's not by chance that I got all these A's. I'm going to tell you all what happened when I decided to go back to school. My spirit, the Lord, told me to talk to Bishop and tell him what I was planning to do. I want to encourage all of us. I know we don't do it because our mind be made up with what we want to do, but we have to seek counsel. I went to Bishop even though my mind was made up and I was being obedient when the Lord said, go tell Bishop what you're going to do. And I went to him and I said, Bishop, I'm going to go back to school. He said, as he always say, very well. And so I said, OK, but there's two schedules. One is on every Wednesday from 6 to 9.30, 5 to 9.45 for the next two years. And then that was in Alhambra. And then there was a class in Norwalk every Thursday. I said, Bishop, I'm going to do the Wednesday class. I won't be in Bible study for the next two years, but she know where I'm at. And he didn't like that answer. But that's what I wanted to do because I'm raising two children and Norwalk is up the street, 10 minutes. And it was on Thursdays and I had to go to Alhambra. And he told me to seek the Lord. I left with an attitude. I was in the car. Like, it don't make no sense. I want to go on Thursdays, Lord. He already know that I'm going to, you know, I'm still going to come to Sunday school. I'm still going to come to church. And that was my, that was the flesh, me saying no. And he said, well, what are you going to do about Bible study? I said, Bishop, I'm not going to be saved. I'm still coming to church. And he said the Lord wouldn't be pleased with that. He told me to seek the Lord. He said, go up to the school and try it out. And I said, OK. I'm still like, I'm going on Thursdays. We have so many people that have come to church. And I don't know if they sought the Lord or sought Bishop and told him what they wanted to do. But if we all do what we want to do. So I'm like, people wouldn't come in the Bible study and they got their degrees. And I, Thursday, I said, OK, Lord, I'm going to go from work. And I'm going to go to Alhambra and see. Took me an hour to get there. So every Thursday I'm driving an hour to get to school. And when I got there and I had fast and I was praying, but I was still saying I want to go on Thursdays, Lord. And I had to pray, Lord, help me to get out of your way. Help me to hear you clearly so that my judgment don't overcloud what you say. And I think that's important for us because when your mind is made up, you're going to do what you want to do. You're not going to hear what nobody else say. You're not going to see it. I get to Alhambra. And on my way home, the Lord began to minister to me. And he told me to do what Bishop said, go to school on Thursdays to Alhambra. And I cried on the way home. And I cried. And then I changed. And said, Lord, not my will, but thy will. And I yielded to God. And that's why I believe and I know obedience is better than sacrifice. It's not by chance I got all him grades like that. That was because of me being obedient to what my pastor told me to do when seeking his counsel. So I just wanted to share that with y'all because I was amazed. I was like, dang, I know I'm smart, but I didn't know I was that smart to be working full time and to be raising two children as a single parent and to go back to school after over five years. Because I did law school for a couple of years, but I didn't plan on sharing it. So I didn't do the math and how many years it's been since I decided to go back to school. But this is a result of being obedient. All A's and two B's seek your counsel, your pastors, and your first ladies and do what you're being told to do. You guys pray my strength to the Lord, and thank you for celebrating with me. God is great, and he's greatly to be praised. Amen, I thank the Lord for the desire, for the will to humble ourselves to God's way. The Lord for that testimony is going to be seen in our message on this morning. I want to call your attention to the book of Deuteronomy, Deuteronomy chapter number seven. I'll call your attention to this particular portion of this scripture, beginning at the first verse down through the 16th verse before we begin the text. This is Moses, whose God's man, that he used to bring his people out of slavery in Egypt. Children of Israel were down in Egypt, and you know the test and the trials they went through in slavery, not having the will of their own, being under stress, required to work long, hard hours, day and night. But the Lord brought them out. He delivered them. You know how the story goes. He brought plagues upon Egypt, and he made it so tough for Egypt in spite of what Pharaoh said. Pharaoh said, I won't let your people go. But the Lord worked on him until he began to ask him, why don't you all just get on out of doubt? He said, you're causing too much trouble. Go ahead and leave. And the report is that the scripture said they left with a high hand. What that meant was they went to their neighbors and said, I want to borrow some of your jewelry. Can you let me have some of that gold you got? And they were gladly given it to them. And they left Egypt. They didn't leave broke. And so as they began, you know the story. In the wilderness, they were in the wilderness for 40 years. Then they finally get to a place where they're just about to cross over the river of Jordan into the Promised Land. And Moses is preaching to them. He's teaching them. And he says to them, well, let me give a little more introduction. What I'm going to be talking about is the most dangerous threat against the law of God. And there are seven that are called out. Enemies after enemy confronts men and he walks throughout life. The enemies are hostile, often attacking and threatening to drain the life out of man. Sometimes the enemies are powerful, far too strong for men to overcome by himself. Without supernatural help, the enemies can easily destroy a person. Enemies such as cancer, heart problems, accidents, drugs, alcohol, loneliness, depression, mental problems, greed, anger, hostility, violence, war, death, on and on and on and on. These are enemies of the law of God. Well, Moses knew the fact that man was no match for the enemies that the devil would put before them. And so he heard from God and he wanted to help them know that your salvation is secured. He said, God has already provided for you what is necessary for your life. He said, but you're no match for the devil. He said, you can't handle him. The devil's been around for ages and ages and he's seen people just like you. He said, I want you to understand that you are not a match. You're not a match for the devil. In verse one, he says, when the Lord thy God shall bring the end to the land wherewith thou goeth to possess it and has cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, the Gurgoshites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Parasites, the Hibites, the Jebusites, seven nations, greater and mindier than thou. He says, there are many, many people who want to be in your place. They want to be in your position and because they're not favored by the king of kings and the Lord of lords, they're jealous of you and they want to eat your lunch. Hallelujah, hallelujah. My topic today is it's in the trust. It's in the trust. Let me get my lawyer notes out here. Now, when you get to be some of us in here, when you get to be our age, you start to think about your legacy. And you want to know how to pass the most that you can on to those who are left behind after we leave here. And so there's a will, then there's a trust. Now they say the will is OK, but if you have a will and you don't have a trust, it's got to go through probate. And when it goes through probate, it's going to take a long time by design because there are lawyers involved and they want to get their piece of the estate. And so they pinch off of it and they hold it and then they pinch some more and they keep on. So people who understand a trust, they understand that can't happen if it's placed in a trust. It doesn't go through probate because the will has already been established. So now there are two trusts. One is a revocable trust. And then there's another one that's a living trust. There are separate terms that describe the same kind of trust that is easily changed. But then there's a non-revocable trust that cannot be modified after it is created without the beneficiary's consent. Come on, somebody. Come on. I want to tell you it's in a trust. It's in a trust. The Lord has made provisions for us. And he says, when I say these words, nobody can change. Nobody, but nobody can change it unless you let them have it, unless you give it over to them. So now let's proceed. In the first verse, it talks about all the people who want to be who Israel is. He said, but the Lord is going to bring you out. Verse 2 said, and when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee, thou shall smite them and utterly destroy them. Thou shall make no covenant with them nor show mercy unto them. He says, I'm telling you that what you've got to do, understand, these are commandments. This is what the Lord says must happen in the lives of his people. He said, thou shall smite them and utterly destroy them. He says, what you're going to have when you utterly destroy them is a pile of dust where there used to be men and boulders in front of you. He said, when you utterly destroy it, he said, there's nothing left to speak of that is of use. Thou shall make no covenant with them. He said, don't listen to them when they try to take it. Well, wait, let's work this out. He said, don't make a covenant with them nor show mercy unto them. He said, when they start hollering mercy, mercy. Don't have any mercy. He said, take them out. Neither shall thou make marriage with them. Uh-oh. He said, thy daughters, thou shall not give unto his sons. He said, danger. Nor his daughter shall thou take unto thy sons. He says, you need to have your children under subjection of the Holy Spirit. I grew up in a sanctified house. And the house was sanctified when I was it. That's right. Come on, somebody. But what I saw was holiness. What I saw was righteousness. What I saw was a longing and a will to please the Lord God, who is the savior of the world. And so he said, don't allow your children. He said, you've got to teach them to the place where they know that they can't mix with everybody. He said, and there's a reason for that. He said, far, far beast, because they will turn away thy sons from following me. The Lord said, I'm a jealous God. He said, I made you. I created heaven. I created earth. Everything is for my glory. He said, so I'm not willing for you to let your kids run off and join up with some false God. They will turn away thy sons from following me. That they may serve other gods. So will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, parents, and destroy the suddenly. So the Lord, the Lord is saying, and it's clear. I'm not interjecting anything. He says, I have commanded you to separate. I've commanded you not to be with idol worshipers. He said, because if you can't get it right, he said, you're going to lose. He said, I will destroy you suddenly. Somebody say amen. You know, it might seem kind of hard, but you know, hard, but fair, hard, but right. Who are we? What is our will? Verse five said, but thus shall ye deal with them. Ye shall destroy their altars. He said, destroy the place where they go into false worship and break down their images and cut down their groves and burn their graven images with fire. He says, don't let them do it around you. He said, they're coming against you, but here's what you need to do. You've got to get rid of what is coming against you that's trying to do damage to you and the kingdom of God. For thou art a holy people. And you're holy unto God. He said, you've been called out of darkness. He said, you belong to me. I filled you with my spirit. I washed you in my blood and I purchased your soul at Calvary. He said, you belong to me. Hallelujah. He said, I'm not willing to share with any other gods. Thank you, Jesus. Thou art a holy people unto the Lord. The Lord thy God has chosen thee to be a special people unto him above all people that are on the face of the earth. Now, you all have heard me say this before. I said, you're God's best people. We're the best people God has on earth. I'm not just spewing out something. This is what the scripture said. The scripture said, you're better than everybody else. And people want to challenge you. Well, you think you're the only ones, right? Y'all think you're the only one who knows what God wants? Yes, we're the ones. He said, you're chosen. He said, you belong to me. And there's nobody better to ask what the Lord is about than one who belongs to him. One who's been purchased by his blood. One who's fallen in love with him. One who seeks his face. He said above all people that are on the face of the earth. And he said, the Lord did not set his love upon you nor choose you because you were more in number than any people. For ye were the fewest of all people. Now, the Lord just told us that we're his own. We're his chosen. And so he says, don't get all puffed up because you belong to me. He said, don't get it twisted. You didn't deserve it. There was nothing you did to have this come to you. He said, I chose you. I saw you in your condition and I looked down on you and I had mercy on you and I let grace come to you and I reached down in the muck in the mire and I picked you up out of your sin. I turned you around and gave you a clean heart. Gave you a new mind. Gave you a determination to do my will. He said, you were not chosen just because it was a bunch of y'all. He said, you were the fewest of all. All the seven armies that came against you, they were all larger and minor than you. He said, but that made no difference. How many they had and how strong they were, that didn't count. He said, the only thing that counts is who belongs to me and you belong to me completely. Hallelujah. I want the Lord to know I'm completely yours, Lord. Come on, somebody. You need to tell him, Lord, I belong to you. When it gets tougher, when the enemy comes against you, you need to tell him, Lord, you know me. You know my track record. You know, and I admit where you found me. I wasn't about any good, but I thank you that in spite of myself, in spite of the lack that I had, said, Lord, you picked me up and you told me you love me. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And I embraced it, oh God. And I said back to you, oh God, oh Lord Jesus, I love you. I love you for your tender care, for your loving kindness toward me. I love you. I can't help but love you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. What a privilege. What a privilege we have. Hallelujah to be in the kingdom of God. Hallelujah. But see, if you're going to be in the kingdom of God, you've got to do right. You've got to do what the Lord said do. Come on. I used to hear the old folks say, I reckon so-and-so. And I reckon, no, it ain't no reckon. It's clearly delineated. What the Lord says do. You've got to come out from among them and be separate. Said the Lord. The Lord God. The creator of heaven and earth. And everything for his glory. Come out from among them. Don't get mixed up in them. They'll get inside of your head over all. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. The Lord did not set his love upon you nor choose you because you were more in number. In number than any people. For you were the fewest of all. And I love the grand conjunction. But because the Lord loved you. And because he would keep the oath. Which he swore unto your fathers. Had the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand. Come on. He didn't bring you out and you were defenseless. He didn't bring you out and you were helpless. But he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage. From the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. So what he says to us in verse eight. Because the Lord loved you. Because he would keep his trust. Then he gave an oath. There was a conditional contract. He said I gave a contract to your forefathers. And I promised. Come on somebody. God said I promised. I promised that I'm going to give you this land and it's going to be yours without anything attached to it. He said you're going to possess this promised land. Come on somebody. The Lord has promised Elder Ross. If we walk with him. If we talk with him. If we do his will. If we humble ourselves before him. And say Lord not my will. Not my will. But your will be done in me. He said you got to walk right. You got to talk right. You got to live right. You got to be right. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I'm glad I belong to Jesus. I said I'm glad I belong to Jesus. I look at other people who don't have the impediments that we have. And I wonder how in the world do they make it? Where do they turn? Who do they look to in distress? When all of these things that would be set us. All of those things I caught up. When all of those things come into our life. We got somebody we can run to. Come on somebody. We got somebody we can call on her. We got somebody who will hear our fingers cry. And they say answer by and by. I thank God that he's always there. Always listening. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus. I got to throw in a testimony right here. First lady is doing good. Come on somebody. First lady is doing good. Hallelujah. One more treatment. One more treatment. Tomorrow at 9.30. Come on somebody. Come on somebody. The Lord is raising her up. The Lord has healed her. Hallelujah. The Lord has gave her victory. Hallelujah. He's given victory. And I'll tell y'all. Some of you perhaps have heard it. The first lady has always been concerned about losing her hair. Under these conditions. I was with her in the first consultation she had with the oncologist. And they were discussing it and she says she told her what they were going to do and what medications they were going to administer and so forth. And my wife said well I hope it's like it was last time. She said I had cancer 27 years ago. She said and I didn't want to lose my hair and I didn't lose my hair. All right. And the oncologist said to her well yes between the second and third treatment that you have you'll be losing your hair. Hello somebody. Hello somebody. Is God able? I said is God able? Come on. You ought to see the first lady's hair to hair. Come on somebody. She ain't lost that hair. Come on somebody. God is able. I said he's able. He is alive. Now y'all might think that don't sound like much. Oh she was vain and she didn't want to lose her hair. Well that's what she didn't want. And because she didn't want it she said I'm going to the lord. I'm going to God. And I'll tell God what I wanted and I guarantee you he's going to hear me. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. She's got victory. Because she belongs to Let me move on. We have a covenant with him because the Lord loved you because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto thy father had the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of a bondsman from the hands of the Pharaoh king of Egypt. No, therefore, that the Lord thy God, he, come on, he is God. There is no other God, not like our God. He said, you just need to know who your God is. He is, he is God, the faithful God, which keep it covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations. Come on, somebody. I like, I like, in Acts, he said, the promise is unto you and to your children. Come on. When the Lord saves you, he said, I promise your children the same thing unto you and your children and to as many as the Lord our God shall call everybody that the Lord calls. He said, it's available to you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So you just need to know who your God is. He said, no, therefore, that the Lord, your God, he is the God, the faithful God, which keep it covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations. Verse 10 said, and he repays them that hate him to his, to their face. So he says, now you're in favor. You're in a place of favor where God loves you and he'll hear your cry and he'll, he said, if your ways please me, if you'll be obedient to me, he said, ask what you will. Come on, somebody. That's better than the Las Vegas. He said, and repay them that hate him to his face, to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack to him that hated him. He will repay him to his face. He said, all of those God haters, all of those proud. I don't believe in that. I don't believe in that stuff. I don't believe in God. You're prerogative. It's up. This is what the school teachers used to tell us when we were in grammar school. It's up to you. I'm here to teach. I know what to teach and whether you get it depends on it's up to you, what you wanted or not. Verse 11 said, thou shalt therefore keep the commandments and the statutes and the judgments which I command thee this day to do them. The Lord says, you're on easy street because you're in the right family. You're in the right family. He said, but that's not all of it. He said, even though you're in the family, you've got to do what you're supposed to do. You've got to follow the family rule, keep the commandments, keep the statutes and the judgment which I command thee this day to do, wherefore it shall come to pass. I just want to pause right there. It shall come to pass. It shall come to pass. It shall come to pass. If you harken to these judgments and keep and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he swear unto your father. He said, it's in the trust. I deposited in a trust and it's an irrevocable trust. No matter who comes, no matter who goes, no matter what weapon they bring against you. He said, it's in a trust because I get a covenant with your fathers and your father's fathers and you can't lose unless you don't do what you ought to do. Hallelujah, hallelujah. And that just kicked a song over in me, Elder. Hallelujah. It is done. I believe on the sun. Yes, sir. I am saved by the blood of the crucified one. It's already done. Hallelujah. Thank God. Hallelujah. Come on somebody. Somebody say hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I praise him for what he's done. Yes, sir. Hallelujah. Verse 13 said, and he will love thee and he'll bless thee and he'll multiply thee. He will also bless the fruit of thy womb and the fruit of thy land and the corn and thy and thy wine and thine oil, the increase of thy kind, the flock of thy sheep in the land which he swear unto thy fathers to give thee. Let me get my note. So that sounds like something we heard earlier in the service. My winning season. Come on. Did anybody get that? He said, it is now your season. He said, everywhere you look, everywhere you turn. It's coming up roses for me. It's coming up victory all over the place. It's my winning season. I'm in the body of Christ. I belong to God and nobody can't touch me as long as I stay under his wings. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Oh, this make me want to shout. Make me want to shout. Make me want to run. Hallelujah. He said, everything connected to you. You don't have to worry about Johnny who's acting crazy right now. He's connected to you. Come on somebody. He said, I'm going to get ahold to him. I'm going to turn his spirit around. I'm going to change his heart. I'll change his mind with his educated self. I'll change that. Hallelujah. Oh, I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. Then the next verse he said, I don't know why this next verse come in here because he already said it already. He said, thou shall be blessed above all people. Come on somebody. Now you remember when they started out, he said, you are the fewest. And when you feel, guess what? You don't have nothing not to speak of you in the getting by business. Come on somebody. But then in verse 14, he said, thou shall be blessed above all people. There shall not be male or female and among you or among your cattle. He said, all the ladies who want to get pregnant, they're going to get pregnant and have a baby. Come on somebody. Well, maybe that was from back then. I mean, these modern day people, I don't want to lose my shape. When you get old, you don't have lost your shape already. We're not having a baby. No, I'm going to tell him. I got to tell him, Elder Ross. I got to tell him. They say, I want my school girl figure. But he says, I promise you every woman who wants to bear a child, they'll bear a child. And he said, that's how you're going to multiply. And the kingdom's going to grow and be greater and better and better. And he said, not only that, he said, all your heifers in the field. Now y'all stop that. That means they not country folks. They don't know that that's a legitimate word. He said, all of your heifers, they're going to bring forth and bring forth and bring forth and raise you. Great pastors I had, R.W. McMurray, great, great man of God, the Lord directed his steps, gave him a great work. Now, he was the diocesan and there were pastors who might have been a little bit jealous at how the Lord was using him. The bishop says, it would be jealous if you wanted. He said, and you can grow and grow your church as big as it'll get. He said, but that ain't gonna bother me because I'm on the top. And the more you grow, the higher I grow. Come on somebody. And when the Lord begins to bring in more and more and the church begins to grow and they go higher and higher and the church gets greater and bigger and richer and all of that kind of stuff. Deeper in the word, he said, I'm not concerned because I'm on the top. And when you grow up, I'm going up at the same time and same level you're going up. Two more verses. The Lord will take away from thee all sickness. Come on somebody. Take away all sickness and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt which thou kneweth upon thee, but will lay them upon all them that have been drinking hatred. Hallelujah. He said, all of those haters. He said, God's gonna let the disease and the evil. He's gonna let it fall on them. Come on somebody. I'm glad I'm under the umbrella. Glad I'm under the umbrella. Let it rain. Let it pour. Thank God for Jesus. Thank God for Jesus. He said, thou shall consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee. Thy eye shall have no pity upon them. Neither shall thou serve their gods. But that will be a snare unto thee. He says, in the end. He said, in the end, it's gonna turn around on them. Come on somebody. So there's no reason for us to worry. No reason for us to wonder why they're doing this and how they're affording to do that and all on and on and on. And we're just a few little old people over here. He said, don't you worry about it. I already told you, you're gonna multiply. I already told you, you're gonna be greater. He said, but those who have been in the driver's seat, come on somebody. Those who've been pulling all the shenanigans and getting everything that they want for themselves and for their people. He said, it's gonna turn around. Turn it around. Turn it around on them. Neither shall thou serve their gods. He said, when it turns around on them, thine eyes. He said, when you see it and you see what they're going through and you see how they're struggling and they don't know what to do next. He said, don't pity them. Your eyes will look on them and you won't feel nothing. Come on somebody. And the reason you won't feel nothing is because they went against the God that you serve, the God that I serve, the God that gave us light, the God who gave us liberty. He said, he said, they went against him and his program, didn't love him, didn't love his people. Matter of fact, he hated God's people. He said, so in that day, you can look on them. Don't feel nothing. Why? It was their choice. It was their choice. Hallelujah. Now all that God is doing for and among us, it's by choice. God wanted us to have it and we wanted it. Come on. And because we wanted it, he said, come on to me. Oh, he did labor and a heavy leg. I'll give you a rest. Come on. I'll claim you as my own and anything that you need, you just come to me. Just call on my name. He said, and I'll deliver you out of your problems. Hallelujah. I want to tell you, there's no need to worry because the promise is in the trust. We recently redid our trust. Man came to our house, talked to us. He came back maybe a week or two later. He brought a box about this big. Here it is, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander. Everything you have is in this box and it's designated to who it should go to. So you don't have to worry and your family, your children who stood by you, the children who love you and the children you love, they get to experience whatever is in this box. It's in the trust and whatever God has put in the trust for us, we can enjoy it. Come on somebody. He loves us. That's why he left it to us. Hallelujah. It's in the box. We're blessed in the city. We're blessed in the field. We're blessed when we come and when we go, we can, hey, sickness and poverty must cease for the devil is defeated. Everybody say, bless, bless, bless, bless, bless, bless, bless, bless, bless, bless, bless, bless in the city. Hey, we're blessed in the field. We're blessed. We cast down. We're blessed saints. He loves us. He loves us. We're special, but it's in the trust. Healing is in the trust. Salvation is in the trust. Peace is in the trust. Deliverance is in the trust. Everything you need is as I will give you all things that pertain to life and to God in it. The eternal blessings of God laid in the trust. And I'll get what you're going through. It's going to work in your favor. Lay. Lay. Having trouble. Say, lay less. We're blessed. We're blessed. We're blessed. He made a covenant. He made a covenant. He made a promise. He says, I'm blessed. We're blessed. My question is, have you made yourself a legitimate beneficiary of the trust? See, I used to be in insurance. You have a beneficiary, but you have to be legitimate. Either you have to be born in or adopted him, and we've been adopted into the family of God, and we're legitimate heirs of the promise. Have you made yourself a legitimate beneficiary of the trust? Have you been born on the water and of the spirit? Have you been baptized in the name of Jesus and filled with the Holy Ghost? Have you come out from among the world? He said, be separate. Bishop told us we need to be separate. See, I love everybody, but everybody can't come in my house. Only those that are my people, only those that are joined to me that have separated themselves from the people out there. They can come in my house into my presence. It tickles me. My grandkids, they come in my presence. The first thing they say is, grandpa, I want because they know I'm going to give it to them because they belong to me. But God says, if you will come to me and be baptized into the body, let me fill you with the Holy Ghost. You become my heir and you have access to the trust. See, everybody doesn't have access to the trust. They can know about about. They may not have access, but God says, if you position yourself in me, you can have access to the trust. So I'm inviting you, if you're not here today, if you're here today, come down to the altar. You can be baptized in Jesus' name and feel God will fill you with the Holy Ghost. If you're watching us by live stream, I'm inviting you to come next week and somebody will baptize you in the name of Jesus. God will fill you with the Holy Ghost and you will become a legitimate heir of this trust. And you can celebrate just like we're celebrating it. The more Bishop talked about it, the better I felt. I sat there, you know, Bishop, I felt all right when I came in. But the more he preached, I began to say, I'm somebody. I am somebody. I thought I was bad, but I'm real bad. Hey, because I belong to the king. I'm a child. I'm a son of the king. I'm a daughter of the king. And so we invite you. And if you need prayer today, if you're here, I'm inviting you down to the altar and let us lay hands on you. Let us pray for you. If you need healing in your body, if you need a blessing, if you need finances, whatever it is you need, we will pray with you and God will honor that. If you just want to go a little higher in God, we'll pray. If you haven't made Jesus Lord of your life, we'll pray. We invite you and we're going to pray for you right now, those that are watching us by live stream. God is faithful. He's a faithful God. I just sat there and I was listening to Bishop talk about First Lady. She went through it. She still got a hair. Made me a little bit jealous, Bishop. I didn't, I didn't think to pray about that. Too late, too late, too late. Let's pray. Father, we just thank you because you're a faithful God that you promised us all things that pertain unto life and to godliness. And not only that, but you've given us a life in you that is full of joy. They said joy unspeakable and full of glory. So Father, I pray for these great people. I pray for those that are coming to you in Jesus name and I see them in the spirit coming from the north, the south, the east and the west to make you Lord of their life. Take them, fill them, keep them, grow them, cause them to be great in the land. Father, we thank you because you're faithful. We give you praise. We give you glory. We give you honor in Jesus name. If you believe that, come on and clap your hands and bless the Lord. Tell somebody next year, we're blessed. We're blessed. We're blessed. We're blessed. We're blessed. Sister Merlin, won't you come? We have many, many great and precious promises. Hallelujah that the Lord, it comes with salvation. Hallelujah, walking in righteousness and trusting and believing God. Let's give the Lord a handbrake for the promises. Hallelujah of God. Hallelujah. Amen. It is now offering time. Hallelujah. Come on. Now, what does the scripture say about giving, about offerings? Bring him the first. Okay. That's one thing. Amen. He said, give and it shall be given. Uh-huh. That's another one. Shaking together, running over, running over. Hallelujah. God don't just bless you. He make it so you have to shake it so it'll go down some more and shake it again so it'll go down some more and some more can be put in there and you can shake it again. All right.

And we are just growing leaps and bounds and God is doing great things here at Shield of Faith and we are glad. Hallelujah. We come in praising and giving God glory. Amen. And set me atmosphere for him to do something wonderful. Hallelujah. And his house and he meets us here every Sunday, every time God meets us here. And so we're really, really glad. And if you're glad that the Lord is blessing you, you ought to say amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Lord, we thank you. Has everyone been served? Lord, we thank you for the offering. You're a good God and you're worthy of our praise. We thank you, God, for giving us, hallelujah, meat to bring into your house. God, we thank you. Hallelujah. How you blessed us. Hallelujah. And cheerfully, we give it back, God. It belongs to you anyway. We give it back to you, God. We thank you. Hallelujah. How you've shaken it together and pressed it down. Hallelujah. And had it running over God. And we thank you. However you've given it to us, we bless you. Hallelujah. Let it, hallelujah. Meet every need. Hallelujah. In the house, God. And let every need in our houses be met in the name of Jesus, God. We thank you and we praise you. In Jesus name, hallelujah. Come on, put your hands together and give God some praise. Hallelujah. Thank you for meeting us here. Thank you, God, for blessing us with your word. Hallelujah. Sit from heaven down. We thank you, God. Bless Bishop, hallelujah. And all that is concerned in your house, oh God, bring us here next time. Next Sunday, hallelujah. Ready to lift our hands and to give you glory and to give you honor. God, in Jesus name, we pray. Amen. And those who are in agreement, say amen.
