 time. Come on let's, come on let's rejoice. I will rejoice and be glad, and be glad. Bishop Arlene Alexander. Amen and our first lady, Alexander. We are grateful to the Lord for the leadership that God has given to shield of eight long beach, and to be praised and his worship time. So praise you for this opportunity to be in your house today, to be in your presence to worship and to praise you for you are Jesus, you are the King. Verses one through. For thou has been a shelter for me, and a strong enemy for ever. I will trust in the COVID of the wings, Silah. For thou, O Lord, has heard my vows. Thou has given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. Thou will prolong the King's life and his years as many generations. He shall abide before God forever. O prepare mercy and truth which may preserve him. So will I sing praise unto thy name forever that I may daily perform my vows. In Jesus' name praise God. Hallelujah. We want to welcome the spirit of the living God in this place today. Hallelujah. The prayer that has gone forth so far, the scripture, the opening song. Hallelujah. We're excited to be in the house of the Lord today. We want to welcome the Holy Spirit in. Hallelujah. That it might. Hallelujah. Saturate us. Hallelujah. It's great. Great and mighty is our God. And we worship him today. Hallelujah. Just because he is the I am that I am. He is God all by himself like him. Our God is awesome and we worship him today. If you glory and all of the honor. Amen. Amen. At this time we'll have our special music by Sister Shy Gilliam. Amen. God is a way maker. He has a way of humbling you and letting him know that he's a way maker and he'll be everything that you need. Every time I get up here and sing it's just like it's a testimony because y'all know y'all been knowing me since I was a kid and where I came from. And when I say God has been just turning my life around and he's not stopping and he's working. I worship you. He's a way maker. Way maker. Miracle worker. Promise keeper. Lighting way maker. To my God is he's a way maker. I worship you. Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus. Your hands are just beginning to worsen with him. Yes, he's God all by himself. He's a way maker. He's like this. He's a promise keeper. Some people lie to us but he's a promise keeper. See sometimes we promise our kids we're going to buy them a bicycle for Christmas. And when Christmas came we didn't have the money couldn't do it but he's a promise keeper. And mercy presents him God. Yes, yes, yes. Something happens when you begin to worship. Worship summons the presence of God. He says I will sit down and rest on your worship. See when I need God I don't know what to do. I just begin to worship. Hallelujah. And before you know it he'll show up. And he'll show out. He's my God. Now he's your God but he's my God. He's my God. That's who he is. You cannot separate God from the promises of God. He is the only one that is everything that he can be all of the time. He says I'm God and I don't change. We give honor to our great bishop. We honor him and we thank God for the men of God. For our first lady always dressed immaculately. Always full of the word of God. And we give honor to the ministers and all the saints of God. Most of all give honor to my Lord and my Savior. Because he has redeemed me. And my testimony is by his grace I'm yet saved. I'm not here on my own. I'm not here because of my goodness. But it's by his grace. His grace. I was at a meeting last night or yesterday afternoon. My brother he retired from ministry. And I looked around the room. And I saw probably a hundred saints that I've known for 40 years. And they're yet serving God. Yet holding on. See I know they've been through some stuff. They've been through some problems. I saw them they had had. And when I showed up they looked like me. I said I understand. Don't worry about it. And see some of us we came in we were running and shouting. And we came in yesterday we were walking kind of slow. But we're still here. I may not run like I used to run but I got something here that I didn't have at the time. See I come to know him. You know I think about that scripture says and we know that all things work together for good. But I don't say it like that anymore. It says and now I know that all things work together. Because I've been through the fire. I've been through the rain. I've been through hard times. I've been through trouble. But it all work together for my good. And for his glory. His glory. So I honor the people of God. There are no people like God's people. I was thinking about Solomon. He said Lord Solomon asked the Lord Solomon what do you want? He said Lord give me wisdom to go out and to come in before so great a people is designed. You need to understand when you belong to God you have greatness in your veins. Your DNA changed from natural to supernatural because you belong to God. My God my God. Hey I'm feeling this thing. One day this week I don't remember what day it was. One afternoon I was walking to my car and two words came to me. No net. And I thought that's kind of I would. What does that mean? No net doesn't make much sense and I began to just think about it and it came to me like the tightrope walkers. They walk from one building to another on a wire and all they have is a balancing rod and the wind is blowing and the sun is in their face but what makes the spectacle amazing is that there is no net. And if they fall they're in trouble but they have no net and God says I want you to have so much faith in me so much trust in me that you'll do what I tell you to do with no net. Instead of a balancing rod like Davis he says thy rod and thy staff they comfort me they balance me they keep me in line and so we can do whatever God has called you to do with no net but just trusting in the arms of Jesus and I believe that's a word for somebody I believe somebody is going through something and you think I'm not good enough I'm not smart enough but if you'll believe in Jesus if you'll trust in the Christ I promise you you can do it and you can do it without a net. Father we thank you for your goodness we thank you for your word you're a powerful God you're an awesome God and we honor you and we realize that there's nothing that we can do without your help so Father I pray I ask you Father to anoint me and to help me to give the word that you gave to me to your people so great a people as thine we are humbled to stand in your presence and to stand in their presence you'll be honored in Jesus' name Amen, amen, amen give somebody a high five and say I got this great he's a great God he's a great king say who is this king of glory the Lord is strong and mighty the Lord mighty in battle I don't care what the battle is that you're going through your God is great he's mighty and he will deliver you and bring you out my God, my God I don't know about you but I'm excited about this thing I couldn't wait to get to church this morning because he was going to be here you know when you're in love with somebody you can't wait to see him because they're going to be there but I couldn't wait to get here because I knew God's going to be in the house he's going to be in the place and if I show up and he shows up we're going to have a Holy Ghost Party up in here Hallelujah the word that the Lord gave me for today is a promise is a promise a promise is a promise numbers 2319 says for God is not a man that he should lie neither the son of man that he should repent hath he said and shall he not do it or hath he spoken it and shall he not make it good even if it's not good he's going to make it good see that's some things we're going through that's tough but God makes it good some things I don't like but God makes it good he told me to do some things I didn't want to do and I just began to obey him and all of a sudden he got good to me bishop and it made it good to me yeah yeah yeah God is faithful to fulfill every promise that he has made now the world says promises are made to be broken in the world people think very little of breaking a promise as a matter of fact to the unsaved they just kind of expect that nobody's going to do what they say they're going to do see that's why we're different we tell the world that we're going to show up on time and we show up on time we told our boss we're going to give you a good day's work and we give him a good day's work see in the world I don't know about you but I have people come up and say to me there's something different about you there's something different about how you live your life there's something different about how you handle yourself and I remember one day she says you know I don't know what it is but it's very uncomfortable talking to you because you always look me straight in my eyes when you ain't got nothing to hide you can look people straight in the eye and say what you mean and mean what you say God is not a man that he should lie in the world says promises are made to be broken but in the kingdom of God everything starts with a promise and God said everything starts with a promise God is not a man that he should lie so to God a promise made is a promise kept it's no compromise it's not if I feel like it or if I feel good I'll make it happen but when God makes a promise like someone said you can take it to the bank in Genesis in the garden Adam and his wife Eve because of the deception of the enemy they sinned and as a result of that sin all of mankind we were lost and separated from God and the Bible says that all of us have sinned in Adam because he tainted the bloodline see we were in line until he tainted the bloodline now sin as in the end where there was simply innocence because of disobedience but the thing I like about it is that even though they sinned and as far as I know pastor Bobby they didn't even repent but God promised redemption nobody made him do it they didn't ask for it God voluntarily promised redemption see you were doing alright but you messed up and you don't have enough wisdom to say I'm sorry but I'm going to redeem you because I love you yes see sometimes we miss it and sometimes we act like we forget to repent and God says ok I know you messed up but I'm going to bless you I'm going to forgive you I'm going to redeem you and put you back in line with me because I love you and so God promised to redeem us God has now after the fall God has a conversation with the serpent turning nearby was the Genesis chapter 3 Genesis chapter 3 verse 15 this is right after the fall he says and I will put enmity the and the woman in between thy seed and her seed it shall bruise thy head now the literal translation is it shall crush your head another translation and he shall tread upon your head and thou shall bruise his heel and so God says I will put enmity I'll put hatred hostility and you Mr. Serpent and the woman and her seed that's mankind he said so the woman see he talks about the woman see he's speaking prophetically he's talking about Jesus he said and Jesus shall bruise he shall crush your head Mr. Serpent now if you crush the head of your enemy you completely crush your enemy see if you crush the head the body will die I heard somebody talking about that yesterday just about chance where I was and he said when it comes to crushing the enemy he says if you crush the enemy's tail he will turn around and bite you but if you crush his head he's dead it's over and nothing he can do so he shall crush the head of his enemy completely and you Mr. Serpent you shall bruise his heel the heel of the woman see the redeemer that is Jesus now the bruising of the heel or the it is painful it is temporary but the crushing of the head is permanent that means it is utter defeat you need to know that the enemy will be utterly defeated in your life if you will stand on the promises of God now always marvel when I see Pastor Bobby she shares her testimony and she says I go over the word I go over the scriptures again and again and again you need to understand that every promise that God made is true if you will access it for yourself I can't do it for you Pastor Bobby can't do it for you he can't do it for you but if you'll access the promises of God for yourself you will see miracles in your life and so Jesus he will crush the head of the serpent Satan was dealt a death blow at Calvary somebody said Calvary settled it all so the offspring of the woman or the seed of the woman his heel will be bruised it says that he was wounded wounded for eye transgressions and he was bruised for eye iniquity the chastisement of our peace was on it but you know what he got healed it didn't last for long oh yeah he died on the cross but in three days in just three days they thought he was gone they thought it was over in three days he got up with all power in heaven and earth in my hand you thought you took me out you did for a minute but I'm back and now you got to deal with me they said Jesus paid it all all to him I owe sin had left a crimson stain but he washed it he cleansed it he fixed it when I didn't know what to do he fixed it have you ever been messed up and say lord I don't know how I'm going to get out of this situation his blood fixed it for me it started with a promise and a promise is a promise check this out there are 3,573 promises made in the word of God every promise that God's made has either been fulfilled or it shall be fulfilled turn to 2 Corinthians chapter 1 2 Corinthians chapter 1 it says for all of the promises now it says all of the promises and to my surprise I looked up the word all in the Greek and in the Hebrew and to my surprise Bishop all means all that's deep it says for all of the promises of God in him or yea yes and in him amen so be it unto the glory of God by us so all of the promises in him in Christ Jesus a yes and amen God is a good God all the promises every promise that you see in the word of God is yea and amen the promises of God are integral every promise is true the promises of God are eternal he says I keep my covenant or I keep my promises to a thousand generations the promises of God are immutable immutable sounds like a big word all it means is unchangeable the promises of God don't change and they cannot be changed it reminded me in the book of Daniel that Daniel had prayed and the king said anybody that prayed was going to be thrown in the lion's den and the king wanted to change the rules but they said the rules according to the rules of the laws of the me's and the persians they cannot be or not even you but every promise of God is immutable it cannot be changed I can't change it all I can do is believe the promises of God and stand on it see I got an aunt she's 100 years old when she was about oh I don't say somewhere in her 40s she was at death's door and all of a sudden cause I asked I said what happened she said did somebody pray for you I said no I said did you take something she said no she said all of a sudden I just started feeling better see but God had made a promise he said with long life well I satisfy you and show you my salvation sometimes he will bless you and not even because you know the promise but he said for my sake I made a promise and I cannot lie with long life I satisfy you she's 100 years old now his promises are immutable so we can stand on every promise that God has made for us Dr. Sykes we used to sing this old song and it's a real old song so I know you know it I'm in trouble now standing on the promises of Christ my savior standing on the promises of God it may sound outdated it might sound old but it still works and as long as it works I'm gonna work it I'm gonna stand on the promises of God because God will not change God will not lie God will not change his mind I am standing on the promises of God in the 22nd chapter of Genesis I don't know I was kinda stuck in the beginning this time God in the text God comes to Abraham and he tells Abraham I want you to go to Mariah and I want you to sacrifice your only son as a burnt offering in other words that son that you waited for that son that you prayed for something that you cried over and I gave to you I want you to kill him can you imagine what Abraham was thinking because God gave me this son and God is good but now he's telling me to kill my son and you know what it's not in the scriptures but I know this Pastor Bobby I bet he didn't tell his wife what he was getting ready to do cause the scriptures will be all together different and a fight broke out at Abraham's house I know she wasn't a sister cause we all Lord have mercy so Abraham takes Isaac and two young men and they head off to sacrifice they get close to Mariah and Abraham tells the two young men y'all stay here and we're gonna go and sacrifice to the Lord and we will return now Abraham know I'm getting ready to kill my son but he says and we will return see that's faith I don't know how God is gonna do it I don't know how he's gonna fix it but what I know at the end of the day he's gonna turn it around turn it around for my good and we sell return and so Abraham takes Isaac and Isaac says to his father says father we got fire and we got wood but where is the sacrifice see sometimes God asks us to do things that don't make any sense to us and we can't figure out how is this gonna work two plus two is supposed to equal four this does not come to four Abraham says still talking great faith that God will provide himself a sacrifice so they go to the mountain and Abraham excuse me builds an altar and I would imagine he's building this altar with a heavy heart I thought I thought how would I feel building an altar knowing what I'm getting ready to do see sometimes what is good for us doesn't feel good to us and so he's building this altar and then he ties up Isaac now you have to understand most of the time when people tell you this story they show Isaac as a little baby boy Isaac was at least a teenager they said somewhere between 13 and 20 Isaac was not just of size said he was strong how do you know he's strong because Abraham put the woods that he was gonna build an altar with on his son's back you gotta be strong to care that much wood going up a hill but Isaac was a willing sacrifice because he trusted his father Jesus was a willing sacrifice willing to die on a cross for something he had not done he says I'm gonna die but my father's gonna raise me up and give me three days I trust God so Abraham puts him on the altar and he draws his knife back to kill his son and the angel of the lord called unto him and said Abraham Abraham don't hurt your son Abraham looks and there's a ram called him to think and he runs over grabs that land and sacrifices that lamb to God God said because you have obeyed me and you did not hold back your only son I am going to bless you you need to understand there is a blessing in obedience if you will obey God will do things in your life that will astonish you think about that other song trust and obey there's no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey to turn in your Bible to Genesis chapter 22 verse 15 22 verse 15 my nose hasn't been running in weeks all of a sudden I get up here and start running I said devil are you a liar if I had to keep wiping my nose stop and blow my nose that's all right you're not going to stop what God is talking about today Genesis chapter 22 verse 15 it says and the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time see the first time he said don't kill your son then he called out of heaven a second time and said by myself I have sworn I have promised share to Lord because I has done this thing and thou has not withheld thy son thy only son in blessing I promise I will blessing in multiplying I promise I'm multiplying as it stands upon the sea in the seashell that's what I like he said in the seashell possess the gates of your enemy I am giving you dominion over the enemy but also I like that point he says you have not withheld what are you holding back that God is wanting you to give up what are you holding back that we don't know about that you need to give up what are you holding back that everybody knows about but you and you need to give it up I like that so I said withholding nothing withholding nothing see when I get to the place and I'm telling Lord I'm withholding nothing not me not my money, not my children, not my wife not my car there is nothing that is so important that I want to miss the will of God over if he says give it up give it up it's got to go it's got to die I'm going to put it to death at the end of the day I want to say Lord withholding nothing withholding nothing use me to your glory use me to your honor use me up he says I promise I'll bless you I'll give you the gate of your enemy and in thy seed shall the nations of the earth be blessed because you have obeyed my voice today I was in this room and I'm looking around and apostle Henry is there and so many bishops and great men that I know personally that they are because they've holding back nothing they are a blessing to the whole world I often think about my grandfather was a mighty man of God he never traveled too far he went to Hawaii a couple of times I think but because of his faithfulness and what he put into his children and his grandchildren his hands right now are reaching all the way around the world because he obeyed God and if you'll obey God he will use you to touch a generation he'll use you to touch a people I do a meeting once a month downtown at the men's mission I was down there Friday and I was preaching and Bob I would put some heavy stuff down and we did heaven and hell and fire and brimstone it was quiet in there whew I felt bad myself sometimes you know you read the word of God and you think look at anybody make it how can we do this God but for the Holy Ghost and power and at the end of the service people said pastor we just thank you for the word and down to beat me up but I put it down and if you don't like it then just go in the hell anyway and one young lady she said you don't know it but she said you're a father to thousands of people just like me and that kind of blew me away but if you will let God use you you will be a blessing to the nations see and it's not all about preaching it's about what do I do on my job what do I do with school these musicians y'all are a blessing because you usher us into the presence hey hey hey Shah and that's a blessing that blesses the people but because we're on live stream it's going all around the world and your hands and your fingers are touching people and so let me get finished the script he says in that seat you'll be a blessing to all all nations and he says I will bless you in your seat after you God says I will prosper them and I will give them dominion over the enemy you don't have to be afraid of the devil and demons because God has given you dominion and authority it's not about you but when the devil comes up into your face when demons come up to your face when possessed people come up to your face and they've come up in my face and I said devil in the name of Jesus I take authority over you get out of my house get out of my face get out of my life and they got to go because he's giving me dominion dominion I can't remember who it was I remember reading it and it might have been Smith Wiggles working somebody said he woke up one night out of sleep and the devil was sitting on the end of his bed he said oh devil it's just you he said I rolled over and went back to sleep see when you know who you are you don't have to be afraid I know you can't do nothing to me you want to but I'm going to run you out of here in the name of Jesus he said at the name of Jesus demons tremble at the name of Jesus every knee shellbound every tongue they're going to confess let me go ahead and wrap this up for bishop stands up you know back in the old days when it's time for you to sit down they start saying oh bless him Jesus bless him lord hallelujah they get loud oh okay time to sit down let me finish this thing up turn to Galatians chapter 3 Galatians chapter 3 I had a good friend of mine first time he went out and preached he was preaching he preached about the soaring soaring the word he was trying to wrap it up bishop he kept hovering around the airport we called him come on man land the plane land the plane he was preaching he couldn't figure out how to end this pastor Bobby so he walked up to the microphone I'm through I'm done I got no more Galatians 3 29 it says if you be Christ then you are Abraham seed and heirs according to the promise if you belong to Christ Jesus then you are Abraham seed and heirs according to the promise every blessing every promise that Abraham was entitled to because your heirs according to the promise you're entitled to every promise God promise he says I will answer your prayers he said before you call on me I will answer God says I'll give you a piece he says I'll give you a piece that passes your own understanding in the name of Jesus God said I'll give you wisdom he said if any man or woman like wisdom ask me ask me don't go to your neighbor don't go to your book don't go to mama never ask me and I'll give it to you liberally God said if you need healing he promise I'll heal you I'm the Lord that healeth you I'm the Lord that healeth you of all of your diseases he promised that he would provide for us he says I will supply all of your needs every one of your needs whatever it is that you need you don't have to be ashamed to go here and say father I need he said I will supply all of your needs according to my riches and glory by Christ Jesus he says I'll give you everything that pertains to life and to godliness God promised to always always always always be with us see that's such a blessing to know that whatever I go whatever I am facing God is with me God says you can go through the floods and I'll be with you and I won't let you drown he said you can go through the fire and I'll be with you and I won't let the fire burn you I thought about Shadrach they threw him in the fire but Jesus got in the fire with him as a matter of fact he was so close that the fire couldn't burn him and this is what I like to say when it got not even the smell of smoke not even the smell of of smoke was in their clothes God says I will never leave you and I won't forsake you God's giving unto us many, many greater exceeding greater and precious promises and a promise is a promise so you can rejoice rejoice because every promise God has made is sure they will not fail you can trust in the promises of God you've got to make it up in your mind you've got to make it up in your mind I'm going to walk by faith and not by sight I'm going to walk by faith and not by what I see I'm going to walk by what God said and not by sight I'm going to keep on trusting in God I'm going to keep on standing on the promises of God tell somebody I'm going to believe the promises tell somebody I'm going to trust in the promises tell somebody I'm going to stand on the promises of God with no net no net trusting in him God said it I believe it and I'm going to do it with no net because a promise I said a promise a promise from God is a promise God promised to save you God promised to heal you God promised to deliver you God promised to open doors for you He promised to make a way out of no way God promised to fight for you Larry Parker will fight for you for 30% and more but God promised to fight and because I know that I can sing that song victory victory shall be mine if I will hold my peace and let the Lord fight my battles He told Jehoshaphat I don't need you to fight all I need for you to do is show up and give me some praise and get out the way and let me do what I do the promises of God are sure right God will not lie to us He will not trick us the promises of yeah and amen God says I am a faithful God so

promise and the promise that is a promise is a promise to me and if I stand on the promise that is a promise that cannot fail I've got victory all the time hallelujah thank God thank God thank God loves us there's one called the adversary of the soul they want us to think that God doesn't care he said do it but I have to tell on apostle again the apostle was a young kid and mother left home and left instructions for us to do this and this and this and the apostle wasn't doing his this we said you better do whatever it was mother said do it she didn't say I had to she said do it but she didn't say I had to now see that's the adversary of the soul speaking to the people of God you know what he said do but he wasn't talking to me he didn't say I had to so I want all of us to understand

it eat the whole roll you're in the hands of a minister anybody in the sound room test it amen these two songs I learned a long time ago when I first joined Christ's Temple these songs have substance to it they mean something they mean something and when you get these songs down in your spirit you can get some flavor out of it as a blessing for it let me tell you give a little short testimony I used to sing these songs I used to leave praise and worship down the street for Bible study and then they used to get on me about singing these old songs and sister bullet daughter didi when she left and went to college she joined the choir and you know what she told me thank you minister sordin for singing these songs because she knew these songs these songs was down in her spirit standing on the promises of God standing on the promises of God they would never fail they would never fail and as elder Kevin Ross was preaching he said there's a blessing in being obedient he said trust and obey for there is no other way withholding nothing from God all this coming to me saying be obedient when it comes to paying our tithes and giving our offering he said honor the Lord with thy substance and with the first fruit of all increase so thy bones be filled with plenty and thy presence shall burst out with new rhyme in Deuteronomy 288 it said the Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouse and in all thy setters thy hand on everything you touch will be blessed will be multiplied hallelujah and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God give his deed standing on the promises the Lord word comes to each and every one this is an individual thing it's personal it's personal if you want this blessing you have to be obedient to the word of God you have to follow what the word of God says not your mother your father, your sister, your brother you this is individual just like the plan of salvation is individual so if you want to be blessed be obedient to the Lord and watch that the Lord will open up a window and pull you out of blessing that you won't have room to receive please stand with me in Jesus name the Lord cannot fail he cannot fail he's true to his word all offering up in Jesus name Father in the name of Jesus we thank you for this offering Lord God that we're about to receive Lord God in Jesus name Lord we ask that you bless it multiply

given back to them with good measures pressed down shaking together running over shall men give unto their bosom in Jesus name we pray amen and amen now you come up with your offering Father in the name of Jesus Lord God we thank you for giving it in my mind to give Lord God a mind to be obedient a mind to stand on your word a mind to stand on your promises Lord God in the name of Jesus Lord God

proven himself amen I just want to say I thank the Lord for yesterday's adventure a wedding we have a new member in our church I was so excited when the parents got a chance to testify they had many wonderful things to say about their son and they weren't made up stories they told the truth we didn't understand fully who was gracing our instrument the drums thank the Lord for setting in that young man is a special person and they were proud to say who all he is and what he has done now parents you have to put into your children what you want to see come out of them I didn't intend to do this but it just came to me at the end and I must say this if you don't train them up according to the scripture if you don't have standards if you don't bring them to church you'll not have the report of these parents right here I'm so excited brother Terrence is a wonderful wonderful man and he got himself a wonderful wonderful wife I was so impressed with her sight what I heard from her sight I had just seen her here among us winning couple winning couple amen we got a couple witnesses here amen want to thank the Lord Thomas is back with us amen God loves this church God loves this church some people kind of try to put music down but music is is critically important critically important and so the thing that happens is music was created for heaven until old sleuthwood in there and got kicked out of heaven and he took the music from heaven with a third of the angels and he started to do his own thing I ain't gonna preach let's we'll be dismissed come on I was truly praised yesterday he got glory he got glory out of everything that happened I was telling somebody yesterday parenting is sacrificial it is and if you don't plan on being sacrificed not just for the Lord but you have to do it for your children that's right kingdom wise yes we present our bodies but for our children's sake it is important that we train them up and Daryl and I did that it was a sacrifice we couldn't do everything we wanted to do and for the Lord's sake he got a seed out of us absolutely and his intention was that seed to be a godly seed right that's right and so we understood that very well and so we prayed and lived it that's what we did we prayed and we lived it and we prayed and we lived it and we didn't get it right all the time but God wasn't expecting perfection he was expecting us to obey him and stand on his word and that we did and I thank God he's in Hawaii now celebrating his nuptials with his new wife and my new daughter Amen Ms. Shardae I could be here at 11 Well Amen Bishop Amen but come on be dismissed Amen I am so determined even the more beautiful message elder Kevin is just promise is a promise you don't need a knit when you stand on the promises of God
