The Lord Is...

You know, I ran across this book in the Bible. I don't know if y'all heard of his call Psalms

I give up.

Stop preaching.

How many of you heard of aw Tozer?

Powerful man of God. He wrote this. If we take away the attributes of God, we do not weaken God but we weaken our concept of God.

What exactly does that mean?

We can only expect out of our lives.

And out of God. What we expect out of God? In other words, I my tiny teeny little self can put limitations on an almighty God.

Now, I know that sound sacrilegious. Right? But it's the truth because God can only do what I think he can do. In my life.

Because if I'm not believe in God, if I'm not having space, that God can move in my life, guess what? Jesus walked out of town and said, I can't do really anything here because they don't believe.

and so, If God is limited by my belief. and by my face,

Then it stands to reason, I've got to start shifting my belief. if I'm not seeing the results of an all-powerful God in my life,

The Book of Psalms are all about faith. Even when we hear David crying out to God. Look for Davis. Just like, I can't take it anymore.

It's like those old cowboy and Indian movies, it was Indians to the left of me to the right. There's a lot of songs that day, was it like this? It was things to the left and there's a malachite to the right, right. And it was the worst possible time.

But just the fact that Dave is calling out to God in this worst possible moment tells you that the book of Psalms is all about faith.

The reason David is calling out to his God at the worst possible moments because God can change his worst possible moment into his greatest Victory ever.

Why does David believe this? Because David in and of himself, has a firm understanding of who God is. In his life.

Now, I'm going to read something. Buy a mortal man.

He was alive just like you and me.

He went through struggles and circumstances and junk just like you and me. He had to fight through some stuff just like you and me. He made mistakes, just like you and me. And guess what? At the end of his life, he died.

Just like we will.

I'm going to read to you, so I'm 18.

The whole song. Because this message doesn't need to be preached. You know exactly what David says, why he says it, and what he means. So you don't have to look up Psalms 18 because what I want you to do is just listen. Listen to the words of a man who have been who has been through some stuff. Okay. Don't try to read the words and keep up with me on the screen or anything like that. Just listen.

I love you, Lord. You Are My Strength. The Lord is my rock, my Fortress and My Savior, My God Is My Rock in whom I find protection. He is my shield. the power that says me and my place of safety, I called on the Lord who is worthy of praise and he saved me from my enemies. The ropes of death. Entangled me, floods of Destruction. Swept over me, the grave wrapped its ropes around me death later, trap in my path, but in my distress, I cried out to the Lord. Yes, I pray to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary. My Cry to him, reached his ears, then the earthquake and trembled, the foundations of the mountains, should they Quake? Because of his anger? Smoke. Poured forth, from his nostrils, Fierce Flames leap from his mouth glowing. Coals Blaze forth from him. He opened the heavens and came down. Dark storm. Clouds were beneath his feet mounted on a mighty Angelic, Bean, he flew, soaring on the wings of the wind he shrouded himself in darkness. Veiling, his approach with dark rain clouds. Bitcloud, shielded the brightness around him and rain down hail and burning. Coals the Lord thundered From Heaven. The voice of the most high resounded in the hail and burnings, he shot his arrows and Scattered. His enemies, great bolts of lightning flashed and they were confused then and your commando, Lord at the blast of your breath, the bottom of the sea could be seen and the foundations of the earth were laid bare. He reached down from heaven and rescued me, he drew me up out of the deep Waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemies from those who hated me and were too strong for me. They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress, but the Lord supported me. He led me to a place of safety. He rescued me because he Delights in me. The Lord rewarded me for doing right. He restored me because of my innocence or have kept the ways of the Lord. I'm not turned away from God to follow evil. I have followed all these regulations. I've never abandon his decrees, I am blameless before. God, I have kept myself from sin. The Lord rewarded me for doing, right. He has seen my innocence to the faithful. You show yourself. Faithful to those with Integrity. You show Integrity to the pure. You show yourself pure. But to the Crooked, you show yourself shrewd. You rescue The Humble, but you can Milly 8 proud, you light a lamp for me. The Lord, my God, lights up. My darkness in your strength. I can Crush an enemy with my God, I can scale any wall. God's way is perfect. All the Lord's promises prove. True. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection for who is God except the Lord. Who, but our God is a solid rock. God arms me with strength and he makes my way perfect. He makes me as sure-footed as a deer. Enabling me to stand on Mountain, Heights. He trains my hands for battle. He strengthens my arm to draw bronze bow. You have given me your Shield of Victory. Your right hand supports me. Your help has made me great.

You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping. I chased my enemies and I caught them. I did not stop until they were conquered. I struck them down so they could not get up. They fell beneath my feet. You have armed me with strength for the battle. You have subdued, my enemies under my feet, you placed my foot on their necks, I have destroyed all who hated me. They called for help, but no one came to their rescue. They even cried to the Lord but he refused to answer. I ground them is fine as Dust in the Wind. I swept them into the gutter like dirt. You gave me victory over my accusers. You appointed me. Ruler over Nations people. I don't even know. Now serve me. As soon as they hear of me, they submit for Nations. Cringe before me, they all lose their courage and come trembling from their stronghold. The Lord live, praise to my rock of my salvation, be exalted. Yes, he is the guy, who pays back those? Who harm me? He subdues the nation's under me and Rescues Me from my enemies.

You hold me. Safe beyond the reach of my enemies. You save me from violent opponents. Modesto Lord, I will praise you among the Nations. I will sing praises to your name. You give great victories to your king. You show. Unfailing love to your anointed to David and all his descendants forever. Who.

Hallelujah. I'm telling you what if that doesn't get you going, I don't know what will because what makes it so special is this was a man.

You know, I know when God says, stuff in the word, we grab on to it. We hold on to it, but there's something special. When a man says it to a man, when a woman says it to a woman, when somebody grabs, hold of you and says I have seen God for myself. And I know what God can do when you

So many times we think we walk in this world alone. We think, you know, it's frustrating because we know as Christians as children of God, we know God is there. But God knew in His Infinite Wisdom. Even from the beginning that we were going to be that you hurt, another human being to come alongside of us. There's a reason he created woman. And that wasn't just to give us the good directions.

God said it is not good. That man should be alone.

I'm going to create somebody for him because God knew that man was going to need to get beside somebody. And so you know what at this moment in time I'm just not strong enough.

I know God is with me and I know he's there to help me, but can I just hear somebody hold my hand and stand next to me and say, you got this, you got this?

But even in all about, you hear David say I defeated my enemies. I trampled over them. I trust him in the dust but then, right after that, who would he give the glory to He was very careful that he didn't say this was all my doing. He was very careful to say all glory to God. God. I did it but it was through you. The only way I was able to do it was through you.

David believed that God was great. And so God did great things for David.

If you believe that God is mediocre, just what you get mediocre.

Guys, he's only allowed to do what you believe he can do.

Play some point just a couple weeks ago passed over and stood up here and she said, guess what? I told God God I am believing for people to walk up here and just give me checks in 3 hours and $3,000 increments to have our parking lot redone. Don't know what's been happening.

pick up and coming up, and give me

And because it wasn't a nice round 40. She said, well. I should have somebody gave her $1,000.

If you believe God will keep you $3,000. Guess what?

It is so amazing to me how we limit God because of our own personal understanding of humanity.

We got to get a personal understanding of God. And stop tying his hands. And turn him loose in our lives. God moves for people, that believe he'll move.

We are living in a Time.

for me, there's only one word for it or riffic

like this stuff happening. B, just 10 years ago. You didn't think would be happening.

I don't know how familiar you are with Georgia politics. And I'm not and I'm not getting into politics. I'm just saying there's a politician who is running for office. That said The heartbeat. The fetal heartbeat that is detected on. The monitors is not real. It's manufactured.

Bye-bye Hospital industry. The medical industry is manufactured by the medical industry to convince people, not to get an abortion. Cuz I think it people won't hear the heartbeat than this. Not real, it's not alive. Will go ahead and kill it. It's a lot easier to kill something is dead. Right.

We got people saying that men can have babies.

How do you even respond to stuff like that? But literally I've never had anyone come up to say that to me, but I believe it. They did. All I could do is just go

What, how can you have an intelligent conversation with someone who lacks Justin? Just that much intelligence. Another man can't get pregnant.

We have people that are just defy God and if I science and say that you don't you're not born with a gender, you get to choose somewhere along the way.

Killings muggings assaults. Theft. Scams seniors are getting scammed out of money left and right. People calling up, you know, give him some kind of story on the phone. All we need is your social security number.

It's horrific.

But can I tell you that even though that's the stuff we're seeing today, we are also in a time that we're going to see the greatest Spiritual Awakening this world has ever seen.

Cellophane.

We love to wrap up our food in it. but when it comes to getting through it,

Lorde. You start trying to push your finger that in cellophane, I think we'll stretch 6734 MI without breaking. You just push and push and push. But can I tell you the point of greatest resistance is, right? Before it breaks open.

We're in that time. Now, the enemy is in a full court press.

He is doing exactly what he is here to do what the world's. I mean what the word said he was created to do. Steal kill and destroy. He's out destroying families. Killing people. Killing babies stealing lives. Stealing futures.

But God.

You say, God says that all we have to do.

You seek his face. And humble ourselves. And turn from their Wicked Ways. And he will hear our cry and he will heal our land.

But why do you call out to a God if you don't believe he can do it. If all you can do is, look at the circumstances and go, this is beyond repair.

Don't you believe your God can repair it? I believe my God came.

I believe my God is a God that can invade the clouded confused Mind of a homosexual and clear it up.

And give them sanity once again.

The stuff that we're seeing right now is going to pale in comparison to the stuff that we see God do. Look, it's already started right. United States, we're spoiled. Right. And so, maybe we're not seeing the things that we ought to be seeing, right? Because we sort of got into a little dependent on the Creature Comforts of life, right? But when you talk to somebody in China, who's got nothing and 10. Or so, people are meeting in a little dug-out hole in the ground, and passing around one copy of a Bible, just so they can get the word of God. Miracles are happening in their midst. Right. I saw a video couple years ago, whatever was in Africa and there was a tornado that mean that thing was huge and there was a guy and you didn't it, funny how you can hear somebody that speaks a different language than you, but when they start praying in the Holy Ghost, you know exactly what it is. And that man started praying in the Holy Ghost and you can see his hand go up and he was praying in the Holy Ghost and that tornado is coming. I mean it looked awful and then all of a sudden that they just went

Way back. I mean if that thing was headed like right toward their Village,

Jesus said these things and greater, shall you do?

if you believe that he can do it,

seven sons of sceva.

In the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches about.

Jesus, I know. All I know. I don't know you when somebody beat you naked, that's a bad beating. That's a bad one. When you running out the house and you got no clothes on because somebody that got a hold of you and whooped you good. so you better know what you're saying, when you say in the name of Jesus,

Bookhouse went all said in the name of Jesus. when Peter said, in the name of Jesus, when John said, in the name of Jesus, Lame. People got up and walked blind. People open their eyes and saw and deaf people's ears were open to here.

As children of God, we've got to know. Who God is, who he really is.

And not the Western version of what God created to be. Look, there are a whole religions out there that claim to be Christian, but they're there. they're anything, but

We should be singing the Praises of God just like, David without denying any of his attributes. I don't know that. In Psalm 18, David didn't cover one.

He just named everything that he has seen God, do. I saw him do this and I saw that. So you can't tell me he's not a God that can Because I've seen him do it. But the thing is, and here's the great thing before, David saw him do it, he believed he could David didn't see the junk he saw, while he was sitting on the hillside watching cheap. Right. He'd never seen the Army is defeated by God. He had never been surrounded by a bunch of enemies. But he believed, who God was. He believed what the word of God said about God. So when it came time to step up in front of a giant and say you and me buddy But the good news is, I don't have to fight you in my strength because I'm coming to you in the name of the Lord of hosts.

I'm not coming to you in the name of David, I'm not coming in to you in the name of Israel. I'm not coming to you on behalf of King Saul. I'm coming to you because you've insulted my God. And he's going to give me the strength to do. What needs to be done. Can I tell you if you're here this morning and you're dealing with an illness, you know what that is? That's an enemy.

The enemy has come against you.

The enemy may be all around me, but I'm running free cuz you said me free?

David said, I've got bonds and chains and stuff wrapped around me and death is set a trap for me. But God

and in the end, we just give God all the glory for everything, he saw us through

if you're here this morning and your checking account, is a little low Poverty is an enemy.

Speak to it. Take a Thor t. Over it in Jesus name.

God loves to bless his people and I'm not preaching the Prosperity Gospel. Right? Cuz God's going to take something from you that need to be taken away, occasionally to teach you a lesson. We're just to show you some things you need to know maybe so you can minister to somebody else down the road. Right. I know what it's like to eat. Mayonnaise sandwiches.

Right. when it wasn't a banana to put on there,

Or pineapple.

Oh bologna. We going to get into the whole lunch menu today.

What do you understand there are things that come against us in that our lives. That God didn't say, we had to deal with. He said, bring your cares to me. I'll take care of you. We got to believe that he'll take care of us. We've got to believe that he'll heal cancer. we've got to believe that that

Tomorrow, I'm going to have, you know, somebody walked up to me and give me a check for $3,000. You understand? I mean,

we can't limit him anymore.

And we justify it by saying we're God's sovereign. God is sovereign. But that can never take our what away, our faith and belief that God is who he is.

God will work on behalf of people who expect him to work. He will move greatly in the lives of people who believe he's a great God. Amen.

I'm going to ask the band to come back up this morning.

I just believe. Brother. Matt, can you bring the lights down?

I just believe there's a house full of folks, dealing with stuff, you know, why? Cuz we're all human and human beings deal with stuff.

You might have heard this song. You might not have. when I can put the words up on the screen, Cuz you don't you don't have to worry about him. What I want you to focus on. Is what the song says. And what you believe about your God? Hey man. Stand to your feet.

Increase. That trouble me.

Manny.

No help.

Prodigy.

Yo, mama.

Increase trouble me.

Mehdi dehbi. That's it. No help.

I cry. Don't you know, the Lord with my voice? And he heard me out of his holy.

You need to lift. And when I wake and I knew that he had to stay with me.

Why don't you go to the Lord with my voice? Panty hose out of his hole.

I laid it down and slept but when I wake and I knew that the Lord he had to stay out of my house.

Lorde Glory and the lifter of my head.

This morning, if you're here and you're facing some stuff. You know that you serve a mighty God and you know that that's a guy that's going to answer prayers. You know, that's a guy that's going to hear you out of his Holy Hill. If you're that person this morning, I want you to come to the altar, I want you to lay it down at the altar this morning because God is here, God is with you, and he's ready to make a change in your life this morning. He's ready to change it all. And all it takes is you saying, God, I believe who you are. I believe that you can do what the word says you can do. Don't be shy. If that's you this morning, I want you to come down. God is here to change your life. He is here to heal. He is here to restore. He is here to rebuild. Ocean.

Whatever he was talking about Psalms 18 y'all remember Miss Ramona Barber and I stayed with her son. She got that Psalms and she read it to me in a way that I've never heard it before. It's like, God himself was coming and I believe it was in that room and she would get so excited, you know, whenever he would be coming, it's like he was in the way that she said, it, it made me take notice of that, and I believe it God, had brother might to do that because it's time for us to take notice that he has not forgotten us, and he is going to finish what he started with Adam and Eve in the garden. You know what? The devil came on. The side of my garden. God did not put in flaming sword to keep us out of his garden today. But guess what? He's going to finish. What he started with them and he walks with us every day. So hey, that's what I didn't come to learn through. What we have. He's done with my husband. I'm telling you that's a miracle right there just like we all are. And I'm telling you, I thank God for

Amen.

Brother David, I want to put you on the spot or anyting. but I'm going to Would you like to, for those of you that don't know, brother? Dave and his wife were missionaries, and I think it's appropriate that we give him an opportunity to speak about what he's doing because that's why That's, that's our mission, right? Our mission is to reach out. InTouch. The world is not just to have a good Sunday morning get together, right? So I want to give you an opportunity, just I hope I'm not putting you on the spot. Okay. All right. Look, come on down. We're going to give him a chance to speak. End.

Praise God is good to be in the Lord's House. Amen. Praise God, yes. I was born and raised Methodist. And I come here with a friend of mine. It was right at the time. Yes. And I come here with her and I had been seeking for more than one cuz I've been going to church with her some after the Methodist Church. Where was I will you know their church has another two hours after my church is over. So you know. But anyway, long story short, I came here seeking for more the Lord and I got baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost. Praise the Lord been speaking in tongues ever since. Praise God and I give God praise and glory and honor for that. I was just a start of a journey. We have been missionaries for 25 years now the mission field. I was born and raised right here in Valley Alabama. And like I said, God is just doing so many incredible things. I've said just a couple of things cuz I don't want to keep you guys long, but we have been working there. We've got his goddess in several different places. We lived in Oaxaca Mexico for about 6 years, which is about 30 hours from the border down, straight down, and do we live there for about 6 years Veracruz for a couple years. We've been working in the oven at is about the worst place. You can still happen all around us. We see people pull up with machine guns in front of us with everything, but it never come night or doing it ever come near us. Oh, I thank God for that. He's had his hand on his many time. Praise God. I want to just share with quickly. God does have us doing many different things. I'm a multi-tasker, and God knew that's what he's got to do. In many things. Praise the Lord, but we have a compound. They are that the Lord has allowed us to Bill. We have our church there that we have church services. We have an oil furnace has just been completed. Thank you. Jesus, is a two-story building that will house. 75 children. The license to come in so that we can go ahead and open that up. Hopefully, in the next, the next couple of months, we also have a sewing program that the Lord that was a hard to start 12 years ago. This is a village you guys that have no running water. They have no electricity that they cook over Open Flame, fire. I mean, it it's like they used to live here a hundred fifty years ago and they still live like that. They are. They have houses with dirt floors, they have no windows. You go in the kids, haven't like they have chicken pox, but it's mosquito bites. I mean, it's so this is the village that we're working in now and do all that. And that's where all of this that I'm telling you is that we've been running the equipment for the church and everything with generators for 10 years. A long time, but that's where God has us working with have this sewing class. And I said that to say in the village, the ladies, I only want the village and we say Lord, how can we help these legs? You some of these ladies have seven or eight kids, the husband leaves these women with seven or eight kids will they have no no no education. Most of the ladies go through 6th grade and then they quit. And one of them can't even read the right end in Mexico. If you can't pay for your uniform and you can't pay for your books. You don't go to school. So, you know, a lot of these people, you know, they don't get to go to school. And if they go to school they go to school a month and then they can't pay. And they don't go to school for 3 months. And so a lot of them can't even read and write. And so these ladies are stuck with all of these babies and they don't have a way to feed them in a lot of the ladies have turned to prostitution, not because I wanted to but because I felt like that was our only way out of the only way to put food on the table and it just honestly for me it was overwhelming to to see all of that when we first started working in the village and I thought, God show us how to help them. You know? I mean you can give people stuff in that's wonderful. But you know when you just given, give does that really helped them? They need to know how they can help their self and that's what we were praying. So that God showed us a song This old program and they start in September. The end in may, they come into the class is absolutely free. They come in, they learn how to sew we have. Two pastors wives that are teaching they have Oceans every morning. There's no requirement about salvation to come in, but as in 12 years, we've never had one lady. Go out that wasn't saved by a bunch of them come in that wouldn't say, but that's what it's all about. Is winning souls for Jesus, and that's how Gods allow us to do it. But these ladies come in like I say, they learn a trade and when they graduate in May would give them a brand new sewing machine you can twerk if you don't have nothing to work with Sol. And somebody said what, how did they, how did they run it with with no powers? We allow them to come back to the mission base there, to use the generator and a lot of them used car batteries and they strip the wires and they use the car battery to run their to run their machine. How we know we're blessed in the United States has been used in many different ways. We have that we have a feeding program. We going to the elementary schools are in the world today. Do we feed the children lunch, some of these kids come in and having that's only when they get all day. And so Thankful for that program as well as God has allowed us to do. We go all the way to go into different areas. Will hock & Shop us, God allows us to have Crusades in those areas. Last year, we went into San Luis Potosi. Now, I'll never forget the story because we went in there and we was help getting ready for a crusade. And this guy said, I need you to come talk with somebody farts. And this guy comes into the church and he had been on heroin for about 15 years. I think he was on this door, he wasn't, but about maybe 30 years old, or something like that. 35 years old, he was married, had children and lost pretty much everything. He was actually really on death's door from from heroin use for so long and he come in and he said I need help. And how many, you know, Jesus is the one to come for help a man and he come in that day, we pray for him. We went through Deliverance with him and he took the rock. That was in his pocket at the time. He throw it in the fire, the pastor, when we left. The pastor, what with him to his house and have him clean out his house in Mexico. They have something else I want them. Where they stand is, holy day. If it looks like the Grim Reaper and when they get into drugs, they worship this, this God, he looks like the Grim Reaper's what it looks like and their their towel that is long as they worship that than this thing will protect them from any harm and danger but the moment they turned and it'll kill him. And so that's why I still may be more afraid to come away from that cuz they're afraid they're going to die. And but the Lord delivered, this man make a long story short got set him free and you don't lot of times you say well you know do you know that long. So he's probably going to go back and that's what I'll put you in the mind. He wouldn't mind thinks we call back three months later and the Pastor said. He's right here working with me and thank you. Jesus. You know, he physically, he should have died coming off of heroin. He didn't get any help. He didn't go to Indo institution. He did. He was there every day with the pastor praying with him. After that day, he didn't go through withdrawals. Didn't go through any of those things, God just delivered him and set him free cuz we're still serve a God. Who heals a man? And who delivers and set up here all day and tell you the awesome things that God is doing, praise God. I'm going to let him share. God bless you, guys. Thank you for having us.

She's the best thing that's ever happened to me outside of Jesus. Let me tell you that a man and ladies have been, we've been married for 35 years and I wouldn't take anything in the world. For when I tell you, it's been a blessing, has been a tremendous Journey. Somebody is somebody says it is an adventure, a man that we have been on for 25 years on the mission field. How many, you know, my daddy Harold Burkett? Okay, I've got a few people to know my daddy before I go into what I'm going to share with you just a moment. He is in the Piedmont, Columbus hospital and he's not doing good at all. He he has congestive heart failure and we he had covid back in. I think coming in the 1st of August in, I was here with him, he was actually in the Opelika hospital and then they moved him to the rehab center, which is here and Lanier. And he was there, he got out, he was home and my daddy is very independent and he tries to help Mom out mom 75 Daddy's 81. And he, he got up and he was wanting to get some of his clothing out of this Chester drawer. And he lost his balance and he fell when he did, he fell into a chair and a cabinet and it pushed his head back and he fractured his neck. So he is in a neck. Brace he can't in I tell you with congestive heart failure and can't get up with tremendous pain. He is his heart is just so weak. So I got word from Mom today that they're moving him to the 8th floor and it's the heart floor. And so I just asked for you to pray for my dad, a man. I mean we we know he's in God's hands but we do serve a miracle-working God so I asked for your prayers for him and God bless you. So for 25 years, we've been on a venture and I call it that because you just don't know what's going to happen from one day to the next. I mean, you know, one day you might be traveling up in the high mountains, you know, of Mexico. And we're we're going around curves that we don't know what's going to happen around the other side of the mountain, you know? So, but God's been good to us. And he's, he's took a scene and he brought us out a man. What are the things that I want to share with? You just briefly, is that when we come back, we were in Oaxaca, Mexico, for like 6 years or so, like, Amy said, and Amy had a miscarriage and we come back to the, we call it La Frontera, okay, which is the Border area and we come back to that area and we started working in one of the things that the Lord started laying on our hearts to do, is to provide shelter for a lot of these people in a me mention, there was no electricity, no, running water. I mean, you know what out house is and that's what these people have. They have all out houses, dig a hole in the ground and build a little shelter around it. And that's were you bathe that? That's where you go to the restroom at and everything. So lot of these people live on dirt, floors and so one of the things that Lord would be begin to deal with our hearts was is that If, if you can Bill these people house, you can win their confidence. So, my question to you today, is if I build you a house today, will you be my friend tomorrow? And the answer is always, yes.

So we just finished up 400 homes. For the glory of God that's four hundred families, four hundred families. And and I've got a group coming in. I think the 23rd to going to be able to aim, and they're coming out of around the Dallas, Texas area. So weird that I want to invite Calvary Church to come to Mexico. And build a home for a family. We're looking at somewhere right around, $3,000 a home. That's what it is around $3,000. Now when we say a home, we're talkin about just a big room. But for these people It's amazing And it changes our life. You got good, you got a concrete floors, you got Windows, you got doors which they don't have. Now a lot of times they've got a good roof and we have been building these houses for a long time and they're still standing a good paint job and I'm telling you people it changes their life. Now one of our slogans for Faith Mission Ministries, which my dad founded in 1981, And one of our slogans is this is that, you know, Faith the, how you call it the, the acronym the acronym, is that way. It is, is armed, individuals, teaching hope.

Fully armed individuals teaching hope. So, when we roll in those villages, I called him with the white Vans, amen. We have white Vans for the ministry. They know that hope is on the way. And there comes Brother David, there comes a team of people from the United States that have loved and they care and they going to build a home for a family in this poor Village. That makes a statement. So I can imagine that we built the church. Enabled us to build a 6500 over in Mexico, is absolutely gorgeous and so it is right there in the middle of that entire Village. Okay, there's a two-story orphanage there that's going to house 75 children and you said something about the paperwork on that. So I'm trying to paint you a picture that in the middle of this Village. There is a Beacon of Hope. There's a light right in the middle of every bit of it and then the sewing class is there a man, you know. He's just been so good. And so with that in mind I want invite this church, come to Mexico, build a home in end and then come run a crusade. I we just got out of a crusade last week and I think we had something for something. People come to, Jesus Christ name and receive. The Lord is personal, Lord, and Savior, and preach the gospel. I mean, open-air. I like open are a man and I, we do have a tent. We got a couple of tents, but I do like that open are a man. So, we are just so blessed to be here. I told him this morning that I said, I'm going to see sister Laverne cart, caught me this morning, man. We want to go to Calvary Church, Say, Amen. And then be here with you all, but God has been so good, a man to us, and helped us and enable us to travel for 25 years. Spreading the gospel. Literally people, it will change your life if you ever make up a trip with us in a week. Somebody said, why how in the world can you go across that bridge? Brother David, you know, with all that's going on? You know, all I can say is but God I say so, but God. Amen, if I say that with me but God and then when you are, when you realize that you are in the perfect will of God, and in your doing what God, you know, God called you to do this. See my daddy didn't call me know, man called mean, organization call me, but I know that God called me to do what I'm doing tonight. There's no question that mean, it's just, I got to do this. This is what I've been called to do. This is my anointing and yes, I speak very good Spanish, amen. Amen. Amen. We Amy went to school asking for I did and in 97. 1997. We started the school and a place called el Carmen Mexico. Right outside of the city of Monterey in the El calvario in. And that's the calvary. It is, is El calvario, okay, that's the ministerial Institute so we started college. They are, we went through a missionary school there and come out of school and somebody say could you speak Spanish when you come out? Well, I had a good understanding but I still I got a southern tongue y'all. I got a southern tongue, you do and might by senior pastor in the church there in Laredo Texas, he's from Puerto Rico and he tells me Brother David you speak Spanish with a Southern drawl. It ain't nobody else. Like Brother. David here in Laredo Texas, Attorney makes it go either, you know? So but we idea people, we just have a good time. We have a great time and we, we are urging you to please be in prayer and in, for the ministry. Amen. In and help us. If you can, he man partner with the ministry. Would love for you to come Pastor Mike and bring a team of men. I've had listened. I've had an all-women's crew. Come on, I'm serious. I've had of all ladies crew that built a home for a family. I mean, what they call a woman power or something like that? I mean, you know, it was a woman power, they had t-shirts and everything made up, you know, and they were out there hammering. And why do we had a great time? And we bless the family, and we want some souls to Jesus. Amen. God bless you all. Thank you for allowing us. Just a few minutes.
