Bright. Well man. Can everyone see what's printed on the screen?

Alright. Alright, this is our prophetic declaration for 2026. And we're going to continue to repeat this for quite some time. This is a declaration and decree that were making for 2026. So if you are ready, if you would unmute, if you can Everyone unmute. And repeat after me. We declare Jesus is giving this house Divine strategy, Supernatural Clarity and execute. Execute what must be done. What was neglected will be repaired? What was stagnant? Water will move a game and what was misaligned? Will be brought in to order this house.

Shrink back or lose, his assignment will be. Strengthened restored to grow. The kingdom of God, is them integrity and Lasting fruit? And a man, but we won't be blessed God. And we thank God that his promises are yes, and amen. Joe tells us that if we decree a thing and it shall be to stablished and so we are thankful even in advance. I am aware that Pastor last week gave a powerful message on repentance and she she asked me about that knowing that I was in a serious and I told her go ahead. So you may hear some of the same things in this message that you heard from her. But consider this to be not repetition but confirmation. And I'm so grateful that she was obedient to what the Lord had instructed her to do. And so I want to take us to the next stage of the seven stage series, that I began two weeks ago. This is stage number 2. And it isn't out of those. You seen your screen repentance that restores. Repentance. That restores.

Let's take a look at our scripture for this. This message, if you have your Bibles and course, I'm throwing it up. On the screen. Jobe chapter forty-two, beginning with the first, verse Job, chapter 42, beginning with verse one, then job answered. The Lord and said, I know that you can do all things and that no purpose of yours can be sorted. Who is this that hides counsel with not die without knowledge? Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand things too. Wonderful for me, which I did not know here now and I will speak. I will ask you and you will instruct me. I have heard of you by the hearing of the year. But now my eyes sees you. Therefore I retract and I Repent in dust and in ashes Endust and in ashes. So I said today, we are addressing the second stage out of 7 and the series that I have entitled.

About restoration. And let us offer. Where the prayer shall we?

The Lord, I bless you and I praise you for the privilege in the opportunity to share your word. I thank you that you will speak to us that you will minister to us and that you will provide us what we need. I thank you that your people are safe and secure that they are warm that the electricity is on the heat is on I thank you. Oh God that this day will be a day of Celebration through rest and relaxation and that we will bask in the beauty of your Holiness. And in the Holiness of your beauty, we thank you for what you have done for us and what you are doing right now and for what you are to do through this message today and we give you praise, amen. So, the title of this series. Is. Spiritual Revival and restoration, spiritual Revival and restoration. It has seven stages. The first of which was confession, this is the second stage which is repentance. The third stage is atonement, the fourth forgiveness. The 5th is Faith, lead obedience, the sixth is joyful fellowship and we will end with the 7th which is Hope. Someone has once said that repentance is like a window being opened in a dark room.

The furniture doesn't change. But suddenly everything is seen in the right light, not better. Like but in the right light, And that if you will, is the essence of job's story.

Jobs paying did not vanish. When we get the chapter 42, because his pain was real. He lost his children. He lost his livestock. He lost his health. The only thing he did not lose was his life. But what he did receive was at the end that his vision of God became clear clearer. Is vision of God. Became clearer, his vision of God, like becoming clearer. It produced, a true repentance. Nothing had changed for Jobe on the outside. But true repentance. Everything had changed on the inside. what I mean by that is when we look at JoJo suffered, Intensely. He suffered intensely even though God says that he was a righteous man.

His suffering caused them. To ask God, some very difficult and hard questions. His suffering caused him to defend himself or feel like he had to defend himself before God because his so-called friends, their attitude toward him was you must have done something wrong. What did you do that? You're suffering like this. But when we look at the story of Joe with will note that job never cursed God even when his wife and courage them to do. So you're miserable. Why don't you just curse God and die? He didn't curse God. But he did question God and Joe the admits that he questioned God from a place of limited understanding. Let me say that he questioned God out of ignorance and know that God let him question him. God, allow that. And I can say that because it says, you read all these chapters leading up to chapter 42, during all of his suffering during all of his questioning, during all of his defending himself, please note, that God was silent.

God was silent.

That was silent. This is an important word for many of us who have experienced occasions. When we're calling on God, and we're questioning God. And and, and, and we're trying to defend ourselves in and yet we don't hear God saying anything.

God, doesn't begin to speak until chapter 38. But when God begins to speak, God doesn't explain job suffering. Is that interesting that we want God, when we've been suffering to explain our suffering? With what? Why am I going through this? God begins to speak, not to explain Joe suffering. God begins to speak to reveal himself.

And that revelation of himself leads us to one of the purest pictures of repentance that we see in Scripture. Out of this repentance. I want to lift up for powerful truths for powerful truths. The first one that I want to lift up.

Hallelujah.

Is that repentance begins with a right view of God?

Repentance begins. With a right view of God.

Glory to God.

Do y'all see that?

Repentance begins with a right view of God. Joe 42, verses 2 through 3, we read those words. I know that you can do all things and that no, purpose of yours can be forded. Who is this? That hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore, I have declared that which I do did not understand things too. Wonderful for me, which I did not know which I did not know.

Repentance begins with a right view of God. Job doesn't start talkin about his sins instead. Jobe starts talkin about the sovereignty of God. I know that you can do all things God is Sovereign, he does what he wants to do. So understand that that repentance is not first about what we did wrong.

It's not about what we did wrong but about who God truly is.

When God Reveals His greatness, our pride collapses.

And that's why revival always begins with a renewed vision. Oh God.

What a pastor's favorite passages of scripture. Matter fact, it was a it was a passage that she used for her her initial.

The sermon is out of a Isaiah chapter, 6. Well-beloved, I'm getting messages. Internationally wanted to know if we were doing live, so I can let them know that that we're not, but I bless God, but they're looking for us.

Give me one second to respond.

Glory to Jesus. Amen. All right.

When did Isaiah 6:8 a Pastor. What do I say? You're saying, Isaiah 6? He says, behold. I am a man of unclean lips.

I'm a man of unclean lips.

When he saw me and Isaiah 6, Isaiah saw a vision of God.

In the in the year that King Uzziah died. I saw the Lord lifted up.

That was a vision of God and in that vision of God, his pride broke when we see. Our pride breaks. Do you know? It's often times our pride that keeps us from repenting.

but when we see God, when we have a right view of God, Will be led to repentance.

Second second, powerful truth. A from Joe. Chapter forty-two.

And that is that repentance moves from information. To transformation.

Repentance moves from information. Transformation.

verse 5 says and 42, I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear But now my eye sees you.

This is one of the most powerful minds in the Bible, I think.

because hearing is, Secondhand faith and faith.

We grew up hearing about God.

It was secondhand faith. but when we see him for herself,

Now, we are able to have a personal encounter.

No doubt. Isaiah growing up. A Jew. Had heard about God.

But he marks the date that he had a personal encounter. I tell you I was in the year. King Uzziah died. I will Now, that became personal. Can I remind us that God does not have grandchildren?

We cannot rest. on the testimony. Of our grandparents are parents, are pastors. Our favorite Bible teachers? Even Jesus. Sitting with his disciples, he asked them you been out there among the people you've heard them talking?

Who do they say? I am. And remember the disciple said why I've heard him say that? You're one of the one of the the the prophets they began to name them. And and and Jesus, Jesus says okay, that's good. But now who do you say that I am.

Hearing the second hand. But seeing is a personal encounter. Do you realize how many people sit in church year after year? After year, they go Faithfully And I hear Faithfully. But they don't see. They don't see... That would help us to explain how it is that some people that you just use cm in in Sheraton they worship. They lived their hands and, and, and they sound like they talk, right? But, but what you you see from them and church doesn't match what you, what you see from them outside of church,

They're hearing, but not seeing the Hebrew word here, for see, it implies and knowledge that comes through experience. And not just what you have been able to see visually. So what it says, see here in the Hebrew is talking about an intimate, relational knowledge. No repentance then is not produced by sermons alone. Repentance is instead.

Produced by encounters with the Living God.

So repentance moves from information. To transformation. Information. The transformation. There's a third thing that I want to offer to you as a powerful truth from these verses. And that is that true repentance? True repentance is heartfelt. Not performative performance. That means you only do it for show. So true repentance is heartfelt, not for sure.

I know all of us have experienced people who have asked us to forgive them, And and yet you felt like they're saying, there's a siren. Sorry was not genuine. Would that be right?

What true repentance is heartfelt.

Notebook. Joe tells God.

After first five, when he said, I had heard you heard of you, I'd heard of you by the hearing of the ear. But now my eyes my eyes sees you. He says this therefore, I retract or rip-it I take back what I said. And I repent and Dust & Ashes but but when he says, therefore I retrieve he he is literally saying I despise myself

I despise myself.

Hebrew word for repent, here means literally to be deeply moved. To feel sorrow. It means to change direction from the inside, which is why you've heard me say that that true repentance is not turning around 360, but it's turning around 180. You turned 36, you just come back to the same place that you were when you turned 18, you literally turn your back. On that thing.

It however is not self-hatred, repentance is not self-hatred. So when I just told you that that you know, one tray of translation says, I despise myself that it's not really self-hatred. It really is more self-surrender, self-surrender.

when there was repentance, With the Hebrews would sit in ashes and throw dust on her hands and they would rip their clothing. But what they didn't do it for sure, or they weren't supposed to be doing it for sure, but I do it if they were symbolizing their mortality They were symbolizing their humility, they were symbolizing that they were completely and dependent upon the grace of God.

You think Joe was not repenting of secrets in the one, the secret sins that caused his suffering, he was repenting of speaking Beyond his understanding.

Where was the secret sins? That that that brought all this on Joe B. If it was the devil that showed up in heaven, unannounced Uninvited talking junk about God's creation saying that nothing and remember God says, you've got a fence built around them so high. I can't get over it so low, I can't get under it. So wide, I can't get around it but if you take that fence down, he's going to fall just like everybody else. He wasn't repenting up some secrets in that he couldn't remember that. He had done what Joe was repenting of when he was repenting of speaking out of ignorance about God. Sometimes repentance is not for what we did. Buckle up. But for what we thought. What we judged or what we spoke.

Sometimes repentance is not for what we did.

but for how we thought,

Judged. Or spoke.

That's an ouch for somebody.

Glory to God. Are you all getting this?

I know you're muted, but I will keep going glory to God. Amen. Amen, blessed. That would like to share with you.

Repentance. Opens the door to Restoration.

How do you want to be restored, if you want to be revived? We are beginning this new year. How many views does it from you? This expresses, the desire of your heart. If that's you just, you know, clap your hands for the thumbs-up saying man, whatever. If, if that is, you, I don't see anything flying by my screensaver. Go it. If, if that is, you understand that it's your repentance that opens the door to Restoration.

Verse 10.

We did we read through verse 6 but if you drop down to first 10, it says there that the Lord restored the fortunes of Jobe when he prayed for his friends and the Lord increased. All that Jake Jobe had to fold another words he gave him double for his trouble. He restored the fortunes. He restored the fortunes please, please, please note. There is an order. Two jobs restoration. It began with revelation.

Revelation about what Revelation about God, who got? Is it moved from Revelation to repentance? Because when we see, who got is, who got to the place where we stopped looking at other people, And stop looking at our circumstances and and stop believing the lies of the enemy about our past, our present, and our futures and truly get our eyes upon God.

That will lead us to repentance.

Like I say a woman to me, I am undone for I'm a man of unclean lips.

I Repent God, I'm sorry. So it starts with Revelation that goes to repentance and then it moves to intercession.

Joe. Was not restored until he had a revelation of God till he had repented. But also until he had interceded for his, and I'm going to stay this way with his so-called friends.

We're much too free with identifying people in our lives as friends. These friends accused him, you must have done something wrong.

But it's after he did all of that, that God restored him. What are you trying to say Bishop? I'm trying to tell us that repentance does not earn us blessings. But instead repentance opens the door to Restoration repentance is is like plowing up the soil before the rain.

We experienced that in in our backyard. We, we have an area that in the summertime Associated that grass is difficult to grow there, and then you throw the dogs on top of that and heat and everything else in the ground and gets gets gets hard and throw as much seed out there as you want to, but if the ground is not, if the soil is not plowed,

When the rain comes, what's the rain going to do is simply go to wash over it like washing over cement. Good. Bishop repentance. Prepares the heart for restoration.

if you feel better than standing, amen, let me try it a different way.

We are use GPS has from time to time.

GPS, directions to where, where, where where we need to go, if I buy a GPS that you're following, Recalculating your route.

I cannot tell you how many times that I've been traveling the and I was supposed to turn left or turn, right? And I went right past it and when I went right past it, the voice didn't shout at me the voice. Didn't shame me? Is that the boys just simply said recalculating recalculating Get ready to holler repentance. Is God saying? You're still my child. let me read that redirect, you You're still my child. Redirect, you let me redirect you. Empire.

We want Restoration in this new year?

Do we not? We won't restoration. We're believing God for restoration. We have not done everything that we were called to do. We we tweet, we've, we've left some things, I'm done, we've done some things, we shouldn't have done. We thought some things, we shouldn't have thought, we taking some actions, we shouldn't have taken. And as a consequence, we we recognize that we had a, a, an improper view of God. but this year we're moving from hearing to see it and as we speak God for who he is,

We change our view of God. It opens the door to repentance. It opens the door for God to redirect us. I've been going wrong but I'm so thankful that you love me so much. You could have reduced me to a pile of Ash, but instead you redirected my steps and I bless you for that and that redirection opens the door for restoration. Let me ask you my sisters and my brothers. Let me ask you today. Are you defending yourself for you before God? Are you making excuses for all the things that you involved yourself with all the things that you said, all the things that you did rather than surrendering yourself to God? have you settled for hearing about God, rather than the Setting yourself to see him for he is for yourself.

Is there an attitude? Is there a mindset? Where is there? A complaint? That God is Jet Li recruiting correcting.

Hear me hear me hear me beloved? Repentance is not about God wanting to humiliate you.

Can I say that again? Repentance is not about God wanting to humiliate you. God loves you too much for that.

God doesn't want to humiliate you. God wants to realign you.

so, when we were truly, see God, We truly see him. We stop arguing.

And we start surrendering. Never Surrender happens. Restoration is never far behind

Now, this is just stage 2. So let me tell you that repentance is not the end of your story.

It's simply the door doorway through which God restores your story.

As the Saudis would say sayla.

God, we bless you. God, I thank you for your goodness and your mercy. I thank you for your word. That is indeed a light into our path.

And lamp unto our feet. Take these feeble words of mind. Use them for your honor and your glory into your praise. I bless you. And I praise you for it. Even right now. In Jesus, mighty name.

Hey man.

And I'm basically finished at this time, but that that leaves room for any comments that interview would like to make at that, this particular time about what you heard of this is something that we do during our power prayer calls during prayer week. And so, if there's something that you want to come in on some things that that struck you a particular way. And you want to say something about that, this is your opportunity to do so we won't belabor the point but I want to move to the side to give you room to do that.

My Bishop, that's what was in alignment with what pastor preached, the bottle last Sunday, 51 about repentance and everything, like that heart of repentance and everything like that. And after I read it, I begin to pray and I heard the Holy Spirit, say, I heard you have been warned and I didn't share it, but the heaviness of what I heard, but I heard the spirits say it, it it broke my heart because the word that she gave was what I have been hearing before that on prayer or next Saturday. And then what I've been constantly hearing the spirits say. And then I heard the spirit of God say you have been warned after we read after I read that scripture, I heard him say it and it didn't work and it and it stroke of fear in my heart, my heart broke for people, you know, just, you know, just like it's like that's why I didn't share it on that day because I was so I was so like scared and kind of overwhelmed with it. But what I heard and what that means was that truly truly mean, so it's good that you're speaking about repentance and and putting that in us and letting us understand what it isn't. And haven't received that word because

Yeah, Amen to that. I know that. So, yeah. But he's also a sovereign God and part of it to. Amen. Thank you Minister. And I think I said it at the beginning, I'm not sure you had plugged in at that point. That Pastor presented a powerful word last week and this was not, this was in in my series, got to do this. So it whatever agreement is there is simply confirmation and building upon that. And I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for her obedience and really asked me about it knowing that I was in the series. I said, no, go ahead and do that. The Lord has something that He wants to say that that will be a bit different from what I will bring and so I'm grateful that that that you were able to receive it that way somebody else any comments that that you want to make sure, I know the guy gave me a word last week and I mean, it's interesting that, you know, pretty much everything that you said, you know, God has given me and it is confirmation because I did struggle with giving that word last week, but I got convicted today. You said some things that One of those two main things that really kind of touch me and kind of just really got me going. Was you're saying that we moved from just hearing to see you talked about the experience of Joel Osteen's, location of who God is and as you worked as you were preaching. You said is it's not what we did, how we thought we spoke that really come. Visit me because, you know, God has been dealing with me. I think we had talked about it in one of the prayer points on them are called set on a Saturday about complaining on. I'll talk to you. Remember that about complaining and I know for me. And I've been complaining a lot about my job and tired and you know, all these different things. But when you said move from here, Seeing it's like like I just got this Revelation that. Do I not trust you? I know God to be who is who is, who is a keeper. He is our provider. He is, as you know, and I and I complain and I grumbled a job, you know, if I could be without him as my husband as my pastor and it just opened up and nobody's perfect. So for me to say something, is to say that, you know, God is not sovereign in my life where he can do what he wants when he wants, how he wants with, who he wants. And so, I thank you for that word because even though God gave me the word last week, this, even opened it up even more for me and gave me even a revelation or what God was saying to me first. Before I gave it to the people. Thank you for that. Is it really really truly blessed me and you know I struggle with you know, same things that you know, many of you struggle with it so it really blessed me like I really am hearing to seeing Amen. Amen, I felt it. Also when he said,

About like, complaining and being judgmental. And I know that's the same that I found myself in with work. But even in that, Godzilla shows who he is.

Like me being a case manager for grades three. Through five decision that I have to be a case manager for because they are without a teacher. it was like, you're just so much and Last week, we had. I got to get ready for a teacher of the year in assistant teacher of the year and I was nominated for Teacher of the Year. It is that even though I was complaining God to show me that you're still doing a great job because people are seeing what you're doing but it made me see things different. So God had to work with me on that and showing me that you don't even know, you have a lot on your plate and you're responsible for children that you don't even teach but people see what you're doing and they trust you. When they see the good ones that you do that, they think that you have your strong enough to do it and you're capable of doing it. But sometimes we don't see how itself as being capable of doing something. But yet instead of God, I will never treat. And I was saying, God, stretch, me and asking, you know, and thrown into the fire. You, no fear procrastination, and doing all of these things in a fight. And I just feel that God still came around. And we ask for something, and he gives us what we asking for, I wouldn't ask for they give us the grace to do it even when we feel like it's a lot on that, but he's still grace us.

And then I had an observation of my observation was a Stella oxidation on a competition every teacher in the 50s of Teaching Standards. So that's nothing but God. I feel like I have a lot on my plate is still giving me what I need and I'm like, I love that little girl and I make sure that she's okay.

I was here. Both of them turned out to be so special because he was the one who can answer questions and bring in my classroom to life when it happened to the other children who are non-verbal. And I said, I had to really be able to because even when I can play in, God is giving me these children that I want them falling in love with and having a special place in my heart and my heart was a man, thank you for that. And and Tanya, you kind of surprised that the Elder Troy didn't Say anything to you about having to lean sideways Down syndrome opposition.

You know, a picture just to get taken in.

Go to work. And I'm so grateful that God is direct me. Direct me to call me. Keep making a call to give up on the direction. A man. Thank you. Same to you. And, you know, it, it it is interesting that sometimes God's God's redirection is met by us with resistance and bitterness But it's for a good, I think, for instance of the snowstorm and last weekend, I was up in the mountains for a board meeting. I got off the mountain before the storm came. But there were many other people from all over the world that were there for the meeting. And in, in our WhatsApp chat they were they were listing the progress of their Journey getting home and how many of them their planes were delayed? Or, you know, the reason a couple that weren't able to get out of Asheville because the small airport are are still up there waiting until maybe Tuesday and If we're not careful. And this is something that, that, that that your pastor always reminds me of, because I can get real impatient with something, so I can, I get caught in traffic or things of that nature, and she will remind me, you don't know what God may be rescuing you from. You don't know what, God may be actually keeping you out of and so we have to be careful when God does begin to redirect us that we prayerfully and faithfully and joyfully allow that redirection to occur a man, I'm sorry. Play, Say Something.

When when God starts at, when we start to have a relationship with God in sweats, God this conviction right in length of a pencil. And some people sometimes you feel convicted, when I, when I say something or do something, God will convey to me because I have a relationship with him. I experiments

that way when it comes to repentance, okay?

Conviction, that it is is when your heart has been pricked. It should lead you to repentance. But but think for a moment, how many times the Lord can fix us up something? And we don't repent. So God was giving us an opportunity or the Holy Spirit or the Holy Spirit was giving us an opportunity to repent that the conviction notified us of that place where we needed correction and God was offering us correction. But we still have to be able. we still have to be able to, to

repent at that particular point.

God tells us we were wrong for what we were thinking about somebody.

But we don't repent of it.

Set a reminder. That will need to put that one. God. When he fell that conviction, come on. That we need to repent of this particular. Verse when people give an invitation for people to come and get saved but don't quote the verse in the day that you hear my voice, not your heart but we need to expand that because conviction is hearing God's voice.

but many times when we hear God's voice, we allow our hearts to be hardened.

Is that because we don't, we haven't. Being orange had an encounter or an experience of who got is in large part because the difference between hearing and seeing hearing about God vs, seeing God, when Jesus came walking on the water.

And the disciples were afraid and Jesus said, fear, not, it's me. Peter said, if it's you Lord, bid me come to you. and he stepped out of the boat and began to walk on the water, he was able to walk on the water because he was being Jesus. And I granted Jesus only said to Peter come, but I believe that had the other disciples stepped out on the water. They could have the proof of that. Is that the moment that that that Peter took his eyes off of Jesus, you think?

So he's walking on the water, he was having it up. He was having an experience with Jesus.

So I think in that in that in that regard, you're absolutely right pastor. Thank you for your question, Elder. Comments from anybody else. Again I don't want to belabor this but this is a good opportunity. You don't get this opportunity on Sunday. This Sunday. You have that opportunity any other any. Anybody else have a question? I see Brother Bruce was able to join his brother. I'm sorry. That's okay. We missed y'all going on the water. I remember, I got like a little Borrow or whatever it was, they gave back in those days and I was in Sunday school, and Miss Howard asked a question. She said was, why didn't all the disciples get out and walk on water and I told her I said somebody had to stay in the boat. Praise God, praise God, praise God. What a woman? Amen. Amen, Tricia didn't say anything, but I think she had to meet her. She was going to say something, but she put it in the chat and Elder Patricia. Did you want up that you want to say something? I saw the chat and I'll direct other people there. But you're more than welcome to say something. It might not be able to speak now, good morning, but I will say that the word today is truly truly rich. Last week was absolutely rich as well as I put it in chat. We don't often hear this type of preaching from the pulpit on repentance. And you know I'm just to hear this even the word repentance brings change in the congregation that brings change and I would like. So I just wanted to say you don't just give props where props are due, I think bringing this word on repentance.

Leo's habit, that you want to make a question that you want to ask before we pray and prepare to sign off and get you on with the rest of your day.

Don't get used to this brevity. I just want to say that I can relate to a Latonya because being blessed to be at the school that I pray for the cousin that I mean that the school that my cousin Demetrius that went to. And once I got into the program, the transition program for students with special needs is very different from New York. And I was like, Lord, what did I, what did I pray for? You know, what did I get myself into? Cuz it's just very different and there's like, you know, students that I met it, have medical issues and stuff and I'm like, oh Lord, I don't have anything that what do I have to offer them and stuff? So I was kind of like, you know, like, you know, like not grateful As I should have been, but then I'm working in the program, and then going on field trips, and then just becoming more in tune with them and relating with them and being there for them. And it's just such a joy and I'm late, and I had like, like I'll just said, I had to repair, I had to ask for forgiveness cuz I was going to take that in my heart and it was a humbling experience to. And so I'm just a Jesus, I'm just so grateful and but I saw myself and I saw, you know, in like a like a lord Jesus in every situation is circumcised that I'm going through and been through, you know what, and I'm sure there's so many that I've overlooked but to just be still and spend more time and with God and just like Lord, I Thank you. I am So, so so so grateful and I'm I love the program. I mean, he's even blessing me to beat at 6:30 in the morning is Rob, y'all want to tell you, but I'll be there in a second, it's about, you know, being there on time and I'll be there and I'll, it's a stretching, but it's a blessing and I am so grateful. So, so so very grateful that I did, I haven't repented. And I saw myself, but I saw a god, like, in the midst of it, you know, and I'll let you know what. Yes. And so I can definitely relate at night, but I am building with a reporter grateful and repenting heart.

Amen. Thank you so much, evangelist, praise God for you, anybody else? Anybody else on Prairie yesterday? We were talking about deception as one of the prayer points said that she gave us. And I just want to remind everybody that God says that, you know, I I I, I knew you or not know the plans that I have for you. I know I knew you when you were in your mother's womb and, you know, that's life, Bishop, try to say this, but it is so funny when I Hampstead life, E license.

Try to trip us up with deception in to make us think less of ourselves or, you know, if somebody says something or is that, was some past trauma? And people say things to trigger those things remembered that. God said, he knew you, he knew you before you and your mother's woman. He had a plan and a future for you, hope, and a future for you. And the one thing that when I start to feel like that, I'm always reminded of Psalms 139 which says you are fearfully and wonderfully made in His image and when you know, God is for you then who can be against you. So when things come up and we get angry and mad or what-have-you, you know, let's go back and think about what's triggering. That's what's making us feel that way. What's making us say the things that were saying or speaking you know? About ourselves or other people or things that are happening in our lives. Because that always brings me back to that repentance part where I'm like, oh wow, oh God, you know what? You're right. You know, I should have felt that way. I shouldn't have thought that I should have said that and like this is said that opens the door for restoration. So whatever is eating you up or whatever it is you know been you've been dealing with when you come to God, maybe not even understanding why but you got it opens the door and two for you two to be restored. And that's what has blessed me the most in this message today is that why you were talking Pastor? Somebody iPhone came on is is, is that Elder Ruth? It just says iPhone. You just came on

I'm not sure who. That is.
