 This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. How wonderful it is to see a new year, the year 2022. God has blessed us with another opportunity to bring glory and honor to his name. Let us thank him for all his goodness, for his mercy towards the children of men, for all he has done and for that that he's going to do in us. In this new year, 2022. My prayer for 2022 is that the Lord will make us one in spirit, in unity, one body in Christ Jesus. It is my prayer that the Lord will make us one. I know he can and I know that he will. It will seek the mind of Christ. Philippians two, verse five says, let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. And if we're able and willing to let the Lord have his way in our lives, he'll do that and he'll lead us in the path that we should go. So now I invite you to come and join in with us in the sanctuary as we're already in progress with the message. The Lord bless you. And he said, don't worry about what you'll run into. He said, because I am with you. And that should be a source of encouragement to anybody when the Lord says to us, I am with you. Yeah. So important about that is when God is with us, there's nothing that come against us that can't be taken care of or eradicated. And because God is all power. Yes, he does. So Jesus, the words says in verse three of chapter number two, let nothing be done through strife or vanglory. But in lowliness of mind, let each esteem others better than themselves. And that goes right against the grave. We all wanna feel real good about ourselves. But he says, don't put too much emphasis on who you are cause it causes strife and brings about vanglory. He said, look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. So he says, be charitable. Then he says, let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. So the apostle Paul is preaching from prison and he's being held and he doesn't know. He's not sure if he's gonna be released or whether he's gonna be killed. So he's leaving the instructions for the church. And he said, church, you're going to be victorious. He wasn't leaving a message for the community at large, but he was guaranteeing them. He said, with God on your side, you will be victorious. And so he said, but in order for you to be victorious, he said, you have to have the mind of Jesus. So he said, when you approach any situation, he said, fake, what would Jesus do? You all remember that? Some of you might have been too young to see that way. People walked around with lanyards around their neck. What would Jesus do? And so that's what the apostle Paul says. You need to examine your thought process. You need to examine what your plans are for your life. He said, think about what Jesus would do. Who being in the form of God thought it not robbing to be equal with God. It made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men. And being found in fashion of a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. And so now that's why I had to go back and bring this into play. Because what we're finding here in verse number eight, it says Jesus was, he was being found in the fashion as a man, but he humbled himself. He was the king of glory. Yes, he was, amen. He was the creator of heaven and earth, but he was in a fleshly body. And so he said, he didn't come playing the God card. He said, it came as a man and he humbled himself to be just like a man and became obedient. And so what it talks with that points out is if we'll be victorious, we have to go against our flesh. You gotta go against the feelings that are untoward God. So Jesus came with the purpose to restore those that belong to him. And so he was humbled. You know, when he was in the garden, he prayed, Lord, if it be possible, let this cup pass. Yes. And then in the next breath, he said, nevertheless, not my will, but your will be done in me. Now that's where we take the lesson right there. It's not about you. Tell your name. It ain't about you. It's not about me. It's about the will of God being done in me. And I got to do it personally. Now I'm going to get down to the tax now. Verse 12 says, wherefore my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and true love. He said, God is going to save you. That's right. He's gonna give you the victory. Anybody want victory? Amen. He said, I'm going to give you the victory. Turn to your neighbor and tell your neighbor, if you want the victory, if you want the victory, you got to do the work. You got to do the work. Say it again. Tell them again, they didn't hear you. If you want the victory, if you want the victory, you got to do the work. You got to do the work. So the apostle Paul says, the Lord has made everything possible for you to be victorious. He said, he laid the foundation and opened up the way. He humbled himself being the God of heaven. He humbled himself and came down in the form of a man and humbled himself to the beams of the earth. He said, God has done that. He brought salvation to us. Yeah. But see, your salvation is not complete just because, your salvation is not complete just because, I'm gonna say it until I get it out. Come on, come on, we carry it. Your salvation is not complete until. Until what? You're involved in your salvation. All right. There's something that you have to do to complete the work of salvation. Deliverance is the salvation God has for his people. Right, right. He said, but I'm not doing it all. He said, I did my part. Mm-hmm. Yes. He said, now it's up to you. What I'll tell you is, there's six things that we have to do. The first thing that I wanna point out is, in order to be victorious, there's a personal responsibility. Okay, nobody wants salvation for you. Now, now that you'll get the victory because the preacher wants salvation for you because your mama, your daddy want it. You're offering your auntie. No matter how much they want it for you, it's not for you until you get involved in it. That's right. They got to do the work. Five things, I'll give you five things. I'll give them to you as we go. The first thing is that possible said, it doesn't come cheap. And it doesn't come easy. Okay. Now sometimes, I need to say this, this message is to the church. Right. It's not to the world. All right. It's not to the drunks out on the street because their salvation has not yet began. That's right. But once you're a part of the body of Christ, the apostle Paul is helping us to understand, you can't just sit down and go for a ride and drag your feet. You got to get involved in salvation. You can't sit in the church while the presence of the Lord is moving through this place. You can't just sit and ride. You got to get up off your seat. That's right. Come on. The Lord gave me this message. Amen. But it was so evident that today when the presence of the Lord was so heavy in this place and y'all sitting back relaxing, entertain me, sing to me, make me happy. How about you make the Lord happy? That's right. After all he's done for you, he paid the price of Calvary and gave everything he had so that you might have a right to the tree of life and how dare you sit back and coast in the presence of the Holy Lord. The rotten eggs and tomatoes away. Don't throw up. Ha, ha, ha. But I got to tell you like it is. That's right. Come on somebody. Amen. That's right. He said, you've got to work out your own salvation. Yeah. The Lord got this. He said, you have been obedient in my presence. He said, but not only in my presence, but in my absence as well. He said, what you've got to do is you have to work out. You've got to get involved. You've got to appreciate what has been done for you to such a degree that you say, I'm going all the way. All the way. See, I don't want a partial fix. Come on somebody. Mm-hmm. And I'll tell you that there's none of us who want to go half of the way on anything what we shouldn't want to. Amen. And the thing that came to my mind is when you go to get your hair dead. Mm-hmm. One of my co-workers, when I was in the Fire Prevention Bureau, she's a church lady and she's very comical. She said to me, she called me Alex, Alex, I'm going out on a disability. I go, oh really? She said, yeah. She said, one of these mornings I'm going to come in and I'm going to have done one side of my hair. I'm going to put on half makeup and she was telling me what all she was going to do with the half. And she said, and they're going to say, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking like that? She said, I'm going to say, I'm only going to work a half a day today. That won't work for me. I don't want nothing half. Everything I got, I want it all whole. Yes. You wouldn't be satisfied. Looking halfway prepared to be at your job. Come on, some life. So the apostle was saying, don't just go half of the way. Don't just do the easy part. He said, get in your soul salvation. Work out your deliverance. I can't preach it hard enough for you to get victory. That's it. That's it. The choir can't sing loud enough, fast enough or greatly enough. They can't do it to get you delivered and get your victory. It's coming down to the fact that you got to get involved. You got to praise God. You got to seek the face of the Lord. You got to cry out to God for yourself. This is another thing. At the end of service, an altar call, we call for those seeking salvation. It's kind of a new thing for me when I came to California to see how Californians do it. In our church back in Missouri, when they called for altar call, people who were not saved came to the altar. When I'd lower me whole, when I got to California, they said, now the altar is opening and all the saints got a bomb rush to the altar. What I say to that, this is instructions. Don't bomb rush the altar every time the altar is open. When you're filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized in Jesus' name, you don't need to run to the altar every Sunday trying to get victory. Won't somebody to holler and scream and pray and spit on you? So you can do right, just do right. That's right, come on now. Just be saved. Just get it right. Work it out. Work out your own salvation. Say no to yourself. That's right. Come on, somebody. We said, you got to work it out. Uh-oh, come on. Can't nobody do it for you? That's right. We'll pray to our mouth is dry. And you'll walk away and do the same thing again. Same thing, same thing. Ain't no victory. No victory. We said, you've got to fight. Come on. You've got to learn to take it. Man, bitch. Amen. Amen, bitch. I know you're preaching. I ain't saying nothing, but I know you're preaching. That's right. Tell it. Preach on, man. All said, the way that you're gonna get victory is you got to put in the work. I'll say something that might stimulate your thought. You probably heard this. It was a fellow said, I don't want nobody to give me nothing. Just open up the door and I'll get it myself. That's right. James Brown. Well now, giving us everything that we need for your victory has been presented to you later in your life. And he said, now, what you gonna do with it? My God. Paul said, you got to work. Paul said, you got to hit the knees and cry out to God. And tell the Lord, Lord, I thank you because you're same man. Lord, I thank you because you raised me. I thank you because you healed me. I just want to say thank you. Thank you. We say, Lord, I need to tell you something about who I am. Lord, I see myself in a mirror and I don't like what I see. And Lord, I know that you called me to walk with you. I know you called me to be faithful to you. But my flesh won't seem to leave me alone. And so I cry out to you and say, Lord, I need your help right now. You can't be saved if you can't be honest. That's right. That's right. Amen. Amen. Come on, somebody. That's right. For this message, this message is gonna help us. Yeah. See, you know what the devil does? The devil will take a good intention and turn it around on us. When we say the altar is open, we say, I need to get up and get some help. I need prayer. And you go up to get prayer because you ain't doing it. And other people say, I ain't the only one. We all doing it. Wrong answer. There's some people who live in free and separated from sin. Yes, Lord. And yes, we may make a mistake here or there, but we're not living in sin. We don't give ourselves over to the things of the flesh. Come on, somebody, clap your hands. Thank you, Lord. He said that if you're going to be victim, you gotta do the work. Yeah. He said, work out your own salvation. Some of us have a bad habit. We're trying to work out some other people's salvation. Yep. So is. You know what apostle Paul is saying to you all? He's saying to you all what I've been telling you all. Tending your own business. Leave other people alone. Let the word of God find them. That's right. Let the word of God touch and prick their heart. I don't see anything of the account of Pentecost. Say that when the day of Pentecost would come, the apostles would not start grabbing people and throw them down on the ground and wrestle them and tell them, get the Holy Ghost. Get saved. What they simply did was they preached the word. That's right. They preached the word. Yeah. The word is able to reach a hungry soul. Yeah. And everybody who has a hungry heart, everybody who's longing for Jesus when the word reaches them, it's something about the word that they become convicted. And they say, what must I do that I might be saved? What can I do to be a child of the King? He said, tend to your own business and work out your own salvation. That's right. Amen. So this ain't gonna be like, I got six months to mind my own business. And six months to leave yours alone. That may be 12 months. You ain't got no time. That's right. That's right. You put your nose in a business when it comes to salvation. You encourage somebody. You encourage your brother to work out your own salvation. Thank you, Lord. The second thing he said is, it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do his good pleasure. You understand? There's nothing good about our flesh. Our flesh is a deficit for us. Our flesh wants to get us in trouble with God, the maker, the creator. Yes. And so scripture says that no man can come to God. That's right. Except he's drawn like that. That's right. Yes. You didn't even want Jesus 20 pounds, man. Not until he touched you in your heart. That's right, amen. Not until he helped you to become convicted. That's right, amen. Not until he helped you to see who you were and to know there was a remedy for your downfall. So he said, it is God which worketh in you to want to be saved and it's God that works in you that will help you be saved. Come on, somebody, man. It don't get better than that. That's right. He's got all power and he can help you. So now the third work is, he said, do all things without murmuring and disputing. Why would he say that to church people? Does that make any sense to you? Be telling church people, not be murmuring, complaining, arguing all the time. Yes. Can I tell you, nothing is put in scripture just for filler. That's right. That's right. It's in scripture because it's a problem. That's right. Come on. The apostle said, everything that you do, do everything without murmuring. In other words, don't ever find anything to complain about. He preached too loud. He preached too long. He talked too slow. He talked too fast. I wish he could find the middle of the road somewhere. In fact, I don't like that handkerchief. He got slide down in his pocket. Why don't you just not have it? Don't have to show it. I'm being comical right here. Thanks for laughing. Yes, Lord. But it's making a point. Yes, indeed. Why do we have to murmur? Yes. I'll tell you why we don't murmur. We don't murmur because it's contagious. Yeah. Wow. Hello. Come on. When you start finding something wrong and you tell somebody, they go, yeah. And what I know this was. Yeah. See. Last Sunday, the Lord said, we said, Lord, make us one. Yeah. And that's divisive. Anybody who might have a deformity in a physical body you wouldn't dare criticize that. You shouldn't. I mean, there are some people who do. But you shouldn't. That's right, amen. Just because it's not what you want, what you like, you don't need to say nothing about it. Just leave it alone. You know what I'm learning? Sometimes, y'all could see. Sometimes we just need to shut up. Oh, yes, Lord. Yes, yes, yes. If it's not to help, it's to hurt. So everything we say should be said with an understanding that we need to be careful what we say. Right. And so the apostle said, he made it very clear in verse 14, he said, do all. I've underlined that all twice. Do all. Do everything you do without murmuring. Everybody might not be guilty of this. But everybody might be. Amen, come on now. See, we don't have to make a big scene and do it. We can do it out of the presence of the majority. We can do it across a cup of coffee. Go on, come on. And then let me get off the murmuring. And let's talk about disputing. Let's talk about arguing about stuff. So the third thing is, work on not murmuring. Work on it. The way you're going to get over is you've got to be consciously putting forth an effort. Work on it. The fourth thing is to work at being pure. Verse 15 said, so that you may be blameless. Let me tie verse 14 and verse 15 together. He said, do everything you do without murmuring or disputing so that you may be without blame. So nobody can point the finger and blame you for anything that goes wrong. So that you might be blameless and harmless. And the sons of God without rebuke. Now this says that if you do all of that, everything you do without murmuring and complaining, he says, then you won't have to be rebuked. So you know what that says to me? If you're doing what they're saying don't do, then you need a good rebuking. Uh-oh. Come on. Ain't nobody going to say amen. Come on, come on. Well, I don't care if you don't say amen or not. For Jesus. See, this ain't like some churches where the preacher you know, get paid by the deacons. At this church, the preacher don't get paid, period, by nobody. Amen. So that's why I can talk bold because y'all don't pay me. I've been passing over 20 years right here at this church. I've yet to receive a paycheck. Come on, come on. So the Lord pays me. Come on, somebody. The Lord opened the door for me. So I can stand and declare His word without fear of anybody holding me hostage. Amen. Uh-oh. Come on, come on. That's right. That's right. Thank God for Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Brother Ron, thank God for a retirement plan. Yes, Lord. Brother Ron is retired. Amen. Amen. He said do all things without murmuring and disputing. So that you may be blameless and harmless. In other words, you won't have nobody to blame you and you won't harm anybody. Yes. And the Son of God, without you, you can be the Son of God without you in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation. Come on, somebody. In this day and time, as crooked as things are, as perverse as they are, it's easy to fall into that if you don't work on it. Oh, come on. You got to work on it. Looking for it, it comes looking for you. That's right. You got to be ready. Amen. You got to say, for God I'll live and for God I'll die. That's good work. And nothing shall separate me from the love of God. Thank you. I love Jesus. He loves me. Thank you, Lord. I work. Yes, Lord. For the victory. Thank you, Lord. And the crooked and perverse nations, among whom you shall as lights in the world. He said, you ought to be a light. Verse 16 talks about holding forth the word of life. Amen. And that means you're going to have to work on your witness. Come on. Oh, you're preaching real good. Where is it? Here it is, right there. Sister Amber. I thought Sister Amber was going to shout at me. You can't smoke with them. You can't drink with them. Yeah. You can't cuss with them. You can't gossip with them. You can't sex with them. And expect them to take your ministry seriously. You're damaging your testimony, damaging your witness. Can't nobody hear you. Don't nobody want to hear you when you're doing the same thing they do. Come on out. What makes you different? And if I were in that position and you tried to witness to me, I'd say get a light. Get a light. And get a light. So now you are responsible. You're responsible for your witness. Yes. You got to walk right. That's right. You got to talk right. You got to live. So there's a difference in you and the world around you. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Oh, now you play something sweet. Play something sweet. Thank you. Give me a break for a minute. They're going to turn completely silent. All right, that's good. Victoria's, you got to live what you preach. Yes, Lord. Yes. Amen. How's she doing? The thing that is so is that those who have been born again, they look different. Amen. Even if they don't act different. Yeah. That's right. See, when you belong to Jesus, there's a mark on you. That's right. That's right. Amen. That's right. Amen. And you are clowning and doing something that's ungodly. People say, don't you go to that? Yeah. Shield or whatever it is. I'll write me there. I thought y'all didn't do that kind of stuff. Yeah, well, the Lord forgive me. No, you got to work on a baby. You got to work on it. Yeah. You can't fulfill your responsibility to Jesus after he paid every donation. How dare you sell him, Sharda? How dare you give him less than everything you've got? Yeah. You belong to him. So you got to work on that testimony. You got to work on your witness. Thank you. And some people are able to witness, but they just won't. I ain't gonna do it. Some people, I would witness that. That ain't really my thing. You got to do the work. Yeah. That's right. That's right. You can't shift it on to somebody else. You can't make it to somebody else's responsibility. You got to do the work. Amen. Amen. You can't put it on me. Tell it. Tell it. You got to do it. That's right. Amen. When I was a new pastor in this church, somebody told me, we want to have a youth explosion. I said, but what does it look like? Write it down. And they wrote it down on a piece of notebook paper. You know the one with the wire? It goes, you with the spiral wire? And they tore it out of the notebook and handed it to me. And I looked at it. Right? Go ahead and do it. And they said, no, I meant for you to do it. I set them straight right there on the spot. It went better. What you don't understand is you don't delegate up. I delegate in your new picture. Amen. Amen. See, you can't have nobody doing your own work for you. You got to do it yourself. It's your job. You got to have your own victory. Work out your own soul salvation. Trimbley. Let me get back to the fear in Trimbley. It doesn't mean that you're supposed to be walking up. Oh, it's your home. You don't spite me there. That speaks with reverence. And the trembling is you ought to be so in love with Jesus. Amen. Y'all hold on. Amen. You ought to be so in love with Jesus. You don't want to do nothing, say nothing, or look nothing like it might disappoint you. Amen. Anybody ever been in love? Amen. Anybody ever been in love? Amen. And you know this is the greatest thing that ever happened. She's the finest girl I've ever seen. I want to do whatever it takes. I don't know about how women are going to be. I don't know if they had that in their head. But they should have. I think they do. Because what a girl finds the right one. She goes, oh, this is the right one. And she might have been the craziest whatever. But she decided, I'm going to straighten up cause it. I don't want to lose this one. He's everything on the Jesus. Come on somebody. How much he cares about what he's done in your life. The difference he's made in you since you walked. He brought you out of darkness. He began to walk with it. You shouldn't ever walk. You got to do the work. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Lord. So he said, work out your own soul salvation with fear of disappointing Jesus. That's right. How about you can't be saved just the way you want to be saved. That's right. You got to follow the rules. That's right. Amen. If you follow the rules, the reward is great enough that you'll be excited because you did it. Yeah. Yeah. Verse 16, I'm going to be through in a minute. Hold it for the word of life. In other words, he said, you need to go out and tell people how to receive life. Yeah. See, so he said, you should be telling people all the time. The Lord is what you need. Yeah. He makes a difference in your life. That's right. Amen. Yes, yes. He'll cause you to have peace of mind. Yes, he will. He'll let you go to sleep at night when you lay down on the bed and you don't have to toss and turn thinking about what you did and what you got into it and who might be looking for you. Come on. That's right. Amen. That's right. Amen. He's just that kind of like it to you, but I'm personally completely happy with Jesus. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you. Thank you. You need to testify about what the Lord has done in your life. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Yes. All of us who've received the gifts of the Holy Ghost, we had our sins washed away. Yes. Man, that's right. That's a miracle. Yes. Yes. Well, the Lord, when you're baptizing water, Jesus' name, all of your sins, everything you've ever done that was against God, it gets washed away. Amen. Amen. And all that scribbling and stuff on that piece of paper that you did that was wrong, it all gets erased when I think of the goodness of Jesus. Amen. All that He's done for me, I've got to tell somebody. Yes. I've got to praise Him. Yes. I've got to say it's not about me. I didn't get from where I was to where I am, not by myself. It was the Lord Jesus that brought me out of darkness and claimed me as His owner. He adopted me and it brought me into the family. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. The Scripture says that we were aliens. We had no right. Yes. Yes, Lord. But the Lord loved us enough that He had grafted us into the family. Yes, Lord. Come on, somebody. Thank you, Lord. All right, let me finish. Thank you. Hold out the word. Keep the word before people. And Paul says, I'm asking you to do this. I'm telling you this is what needs to be done. He said, I've gone to great lengths to teach you all of these things. Yes. I'll take a little detour right here. I don't know if you all know why I'm here or not. The reason I'm here is because the Lord called me to pastor this church. That's right. Amen. I didn't volunteer. No. You know, I wasn't looking for no place to preach. But the Lord called me to this assembly. Yes. And He put me here with purpose. Amen. And boasted and bragged that this is the truth. I am the mouth of God to your ears. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Lord. And as I said before, I never preach philosophy. I give you the Word of God and the Word of God alone. Thank you. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Now, I don't understand why y'all don't have questions before you do all kinds of stuff. A major event that you're pondering in your mind, somebody need to help you. Yeah. Probably a few years ago, you might have said, well, you don't have enough experience. You ain't old enough. I'm older than all of y'all except two people here. No more than a whole bunch of y'all. The Lord gives me knowledge. Yes, He does. The Lord gives me wisdom to share with His people. But y'all won't ask me nothing. Just run off and do stuff. It helps you to see it as a mistake and help you to make it through your test. See, when you do stuff without seeking the Lord, sometimes you wind up paying a big price for a small lesson. You think you know everything. No, I don't think I know everything. I think I know a whole lot more than a whole lot of y'all. You know, I didn't, I wasn't born with a silver spoon. We was polled. You see, I've seen what God is able to do. Yes. Come on. In this 74 years, the Lord has done marvelous things in my life. The Lord has helped me to see a lot of stuff. I've been in church all my life. Not saying dollars, but I've been in church all my life. Amen. And I've seen the hand of God. And I know how He moves. I know how He works. Yes, Lord. I know y'all call me and ask me, should you trim your toenails? That's not major. Come on, somebody. Y'all hear what I'm saying? I'm here to support you in your work that you must do. You've got to do your work. Amen. And I can advise you along the way. Amen. And if it's something that I don't know about, I'll go to God or I'll go to a colleague. I'll leave that alone. I'm in prison and I don't know if I'll see you again. There's something to take my life. They've been threatening. He said, but it's not a sad day for me because I've taught you what you needed to know to be victorious. He said, if you do that, if you go for it and be a witness to the saving grace of Jesus Christ, He said, then that's going to make me happy. Amen. It's going to help me not feel like my work has been in vain. Thank you, Lord. He said that I may rejoice in the day of Christ and that I have not run in vain. Yes. Neither labored in vain. He said, it's been a fight for me all the way. Amen. I struggled and I fought. He said, but if you'll stay fast. That's Lord. If you're unlovable in the work of God, if you're doing all you need to do, if you're doing the things God taught you to do, He said, I don't mind giving my life for that. Amen. Thank you. Yay. And if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, He said, I joy. Yes. He said, I get joy when I think about what you do. Yes. And He said, and rejoice with you. He said, I'm getting satisfaction and when you do it, you'll be happy about it and we can rejoice together. Amen. Amen. Nothing like seeing the sense of God grow and mature and I have observed it and it makes my heart happy. Amen. You know, because I, this is not a pity party here, but it takes a lot of time to hear from God and bring you what you need to hear. Yeah. Of my information. It don't work that way. Tell your neighbor it don't work that way. It don't work that way. You've got to do the work. You've got to do the work. Come on somebody. Oh, I'm determined. Anybody here today who's starting to feel maybe a new limb, something going on down inside of you. Anybody feel like you can get what God has called you to do. Anybody know that you can be successful in whatever God calls your hands to do. Thank you. Come on somebody. I'm glad because I'm going to do it. That's right. I've made up my mind. I'm determined. I'm going to give God what he requires of me. See because I don't want to be lost. But more than not going to be lost. I thank God that I'm going to be in the presence of the Holy Ghost. I'm going to be in heaven through all of eternity. Because I've made up my mind. No matter what comes. No matter what goes. No matter what you do. I'm going to go back. My sin and brothers go back. I've decided. I'm going to do the work. I'm going to be victorious. I'm going to be delivered. I'm going to give him everything. Praise him. Now stand up on your feet. And praise God. I'll tell y'all. I ain't mad at y'all. When I was a kid growing up. And I'll tell you after they got through beating us. Big and sights. After they got through giving me a good whip. And I never go up and say. Oh daddy. Thank you so much. Oh man. I appreciate that beating. I can't nobody beat like you. If you all are taking this as. I've whipped you. I've been too hard on you. I just gave it to y'all in the book. And so that's what I'm called to do. And I hope everybody accepts it. Because God wants to. He wants to give us the victory. Come on. Do me like Jesus.
