Thank you, Jesus. Thank you. Jesus, mama, mama Mimi. And I'm so thankful to be in the house of the Lord tonight. A man. You don't have to give him to think about the children of Israel that crossed over Jordan and I got to the other side and, and they looked back and saw the Chariots. A man, if they were swallowed up,

I got to thinking about that sometime and I think he knows all the all the stuff that we go through. Amen. All the hell that we fight and everything that goes on in our lives. And then when God, finally comes through, for the puts us on that hill and said, I want you to look back, I want you to watch her enemies and not destroy them, but I want you to watch it. I'll take care of that problem that you've been praying about a man. Are you thankful that you serve a God? That's faithful. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, amen, amen. So glad to be here.

You were created by God. To praise His name. He's give you rest in your body. In the Bible says, anything that has breath. It's got a praise the Lord. Amen. It's not an excuse. It's a command. Why don't feel good today so you don't feel good but you still go to work and then praise. It's not dictated by what you feel. Praise is a direct command from God tonight. I'm telling you if you would just give God what you got right now. I believe the Holy Ghost can settle in this room tonight. Come on the Holy Ghost Church.

I told you the story years ago. Bastrop vercellino. He told me, so, we had a late Saturday night. Time of fellowship with the church and he said, on Sunday morning, of course. Everybody was tired wore out from the night before having a great time. You said, I never will forget it. You said I stepped on the platform and I asked everybody, let's begin to worship. You said, when I asked the question, when I ask them to begin to worship, he said I saw with my own eyes, the glory Cloud, the Lord, He said, I looked out across the audience. She said, and I saw people, they weren't in Rebellion ever, Just Tires were out and said I saw him hands half lifted. He said now watch that as God begin to see on that room. The glory Cloud, he said and I watched it, he said, when it touched their fingertips, he's not watch people in the Holy Ghost fall out left and right. He said, and I thought to myself, if half praise gets a snapped, what put what would have happened? If there have been such an uproar, has Applause and worship to the king of kings and Lord of lords. I'm telling you, I know what I feel tonight. Brother rain is going to brief, but the Lord, he wants there to be a such a warship, such a praise things, can turn around. I'm telling you, in your praise things, can change directions in your marriage and your family, in your Finance, in your health, through your worship tonight. Tonight. Come on. One more time. Let's give the Lord Praise in this room tonight. Come on Fridays. And watch it tonight. I'll give you a word.

I praise you. God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hey man. Hallelujah. Hey man, thank you for a steam. Thank you musicians, for always letting us into God's presence. We thank God for that.

Hitman, Hallelujah. Why don't we all stand for not standing out like for the Armstrong to come tonight and preach the word of the Lord? May be loved the Armstrong cereal. UPC, Paris, a man. Would you welcome with Armstrong's, he comes tonight,

Hallelujah. Let's give that hand clap to the Lord tonight. Please God, hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Braised short, my message, 10 minutes, if we will continue what we just had going on. Can I get a show of hands?

The waters are stirred tonight. Praise God. The Holy Ghost. So strong here tonight. God is doing the Reckless things here. In our church, there's miracles happen. You might not even be aware of I'm so thankful. Thank you Pastor for the opportunity to come and Minister tonight. So good to be here tonight with God's people. God's wonderful people. Praise God. I'm not going to keep you long braids, God. I hope we do have that service at the end. Praise God. Strong and weak.

I need, praise God, my goodness. I'm going to turn your attention to scripture tonight. We're going to get started and Romans chapter, 83 from your passage of scripture, Romans, chapter 8 verses 35, to 39. I think they had that those. I think this was a very memories. If you were in my goodness, we're all grown up. Will you used to be able to raise your hand if you a whole bunch of people. But this is a scripture that she had to memorize the Romans 8:35 through 9:00 through 39. Separate us from the love of Christ, shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or Peril or sword as it is written for thy sake. We are killed all the day long. We are accounted sheep for the slaughter me and all these things. We are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For, I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities nor powers nor things present, nor things to come nor height nor depth nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is Christ Jesus our lord.

Father was so thankful tonight for your presents. We're thankful for what you doing in our midst of all these waters are trouble more than you would continue. Lord a Ministry in this place. Lord touches tonight with your word. Y'all, we just keep your praise and honor tonight Lord for all that you're doing in Jesus name us give the Lord a handclap of praise tonight. You can be seated. Thank you for standing during the the word, praise God. I hope you have hope you enjoy this as much as I will. Praise God, cuz I enjoyed getting to preach. Thank you Pastor. Once again for the opportunity, the title, the time I want to bring to you tonight. Is Born To Win, born to win. Praise God. We are born. If you've been born again, raise your hand tonight. If you've been born, I might come by just being born on top of the few been born. Again, you've been born to win. God, has got a plan for each and everyone of us tonight. Praise God. That goes way past the graveyard. Praise got to go past our past, defeats it goes past our disappointments. The trials that we face each day, God's plan for us is great. And I'm thankful to be a part of it tonight. Praise God. But I want to speak to us tonight, we are bored. To win. How many as fortunate as teams have got on the field and some of you have got some favorite teams. I remember a few years ago, pastor with a good friend of mine, I work with at the time, he was the Houston Astros fan of everything Houston. He was a fan of and I made the mistake of inviting him to a game dinner and Arlington and the Houston Astros were playing and it was the year that we won the championship. You know? Finally we finally one but this particular game it was later in the season of the Astros showed up to the stadium in the Rangers, didn't quite make it there but it just like one after another brother brother Lester, that was just home runs after and I got a picture. He took a picture, I should have brought it. The picture was me and him sitting on the in the stadium and he's got his hands.

My expression was it the same? I had a very disappointed expression for the land of, it was disappointing because I had hopes that we were going to win that night and it didn't materialize. But later on I got to share a picture with him during the championship series. How many sports but I relate to a lot of the lot of you guys watch sports, but they were doing that during the world's ready to go to World Series, they had a game. That was finally get, they were planned out of Houston and there was a couple of guys that went to the trouble of dressing up like astronauts. But y'all, anybody else besides me, see that picture and it at towards the end of the game, there was a chain. They don't guys worth and this was in Houston and they can't they dress like, astronauts everybody knows what used in is known for the takeoff of rock, it's his stuff. And so they were dressed like astronauts and and and then tour date later in the game is just changed. But the tide change the ranger started winning. and it's, somebody took a picture of those guys in those at those and it said, Something about Houston, we got a problem. I think that's the Houston. We got a problem and nothing Expressions on those guys faces. And what's the guys happen to look like my buddy? So I had to I got that picture and I shared it with him. I said, man it don't look so good right now that week, but you do know is we look at teams, we can see that the mindset of a team can change over one play. Sometimes we see teams that go into against opponents are a lot better than them and put them from some reason a great play takes place. And you can see that the the momentum changes in the atmosphere. You see the expression on the men on the sidelines, they get, they get a different attitude, they get a different outlooks because they starting up again to see some hope that something's going to change. We've got a chance, we're going to push through and I How to talk to you tonight if we need a momentum change tonight, we've got a chance. You might have the enemy may have lied to you this week or last week, or maybe you've been in it in an application for a sometimes. I want to know, it's time for a moment of change. We got a chance, we got a whole tonight. He's got a plan for us. He's going to play for me and you and it doesn't include to see any clues Victory Halloween song. I wouldn't have thought any Massimo's sing all those songs but they went right along with what I was born to preach tonight and it's not enough to do a minor. Matter of fact about 15 more minutes and I want to preach tonight. He was right he was right in line with the thoughts that I had. Praise God but you were not born to live in a defeated situation. It doesn't mean that you will never have problems. It doesn't mean that you will never cry. Emmys ever, just crap. There's a young man. I told this story before but I was all by myself. Didn't have a wife head. And I was a young teenager probably eighteen or nineteen years old, and fighting things fighting battles. And then I thought that you had to fuss at that time. I thought you had to feel God all the time or used wooden. You weren't there. I took me a little while to realize, hey. Just because you ain't feeling everything. Doesn't mean God in there. It doesn't mean that God. Is it working for you? It just means, maybe you're just going through a drive-thru, huh? Maybe you're going through trials, but if you'll just keep on walking, that's what they just keep on walking before long, you'll feel You feel a hand on your shoulder, or back up. Again, if you'll just keep on walking, just keeps going to just keep see if you'll just keep walking. Hallelujah, feel, just keep, keep stay on the phone. He's going to show up for reinforcements. You're not going to be a loser that he has for me. And you he has a plan for victory. Hallelujah. Young teenager thinking that I had to feel God all the timer. I was then I would get on, get on this Sloop out here back then we had eight. Not eight tracks was lost after that. It was cosette's. We put I put a damn it man. I had all the latest cuz I had. I had a man cuz I don't know how much of the Christian bookstore, man, I got to quit. I wanted to be I was in this thing man. I got the Winans BeBe & CeCe, this possession then. I get I'll get them to put them papers in there. All the, all my favorite ones. I just go, I just make Rounds Around this Loop because I can feel the presence of But I was hungry to feel the presence of God will lie to you and say, you're all alone. That God is not with you. And sometimes I would have been, I would come down here, I didn't even have. I need a prayer, but I just wanted the preacher to pray. For me to lay his hands on me. I would come down here and then ignore me. If they got tired of ignoring me with oil, They got tired of me, calling them want to request in prayer, but I was I was something like I was all along, I was tripping but I would go around that Loop and I will. And I was by myself, didn't have my wonderful wife. You, I would drive around that Loop and just put those cassettes on manda's, take 60 Carmen all these different song. I know you don't remember. None of those things but, you know, I was a little, I can just listen to Southern Gospel, not listen to La southern gospel. Now, I know some of yall going to be a surprise when we get up to heaven, and that's all you hear, southern gospel. You can be like, what in the world? What is going on here? That's nothing. But southern gospel being, but I don't know. That's going to be true, but you got to turn to, to get used to it. Praise God. If it does happen that way, I believe the lot of those songs minister to me and I know they administer you as well. Keep an eye on the time. Praise God, it was kind of out there. We went to a big stadium and they filled at Texas stadium and they were I got a little shocked when they bought the dancers that I was a little bit high but that wasn't ready for that. They wouldn't like the dancing. I was used to, they were just choreographed dance and I was used to people spending around and losing getting lost in. The Holy goes, I wasn't used to it, we praise God, we survived. We survived the Carmen. Dispensation, praise God, but I'm but I thank God that you no different during that time. Top share this before. I didn't know it at the time but God had a plan in my life. He had a plan in place that I couldn't see it all. I was responding to us what was happening right then. And right there, I didn't know that in just a few years for the Jeff that I'll be certain that same blue. Try to get my kids to go to sleep. Try to get my daughter to go to sleep. I didn't know that. It I felt all alone. I didn't know that God just down the road, just a little few days away. You will seem like a long time away back then, but I just a few years away. Looking back, then I moved back a long time. That was a bad back farther than you've been living. Praise God. But I look back. I'm thinking you're just some of the time we get so caught up in the struggle in, just a little bit of time. It will just hold on to the truth will just hold on to the faith that God has given us. We hold on to the hope we know that with you before, he's brought you food before brother. Jeff he's going to bring you through the next thing. He's not going to leave you half way to get you all the way across the Jordan. Praise God is going to make you all the way to get you all the way across. Praise God, but we're not going to struggle. It doesn't mean that we're not going to face situations, we're going to face a China in our life that stands up and cries out, and we may feel all alone, praise God, but you need to know this as long as we belong to him. It doesn't matter what circumstances you find yourself in his long as you belong to Jesus Christ. As long as you've been born again, if you've been born again, you're bored when he's going to plan in place for each and everyone of us and he's got it by us all the way home. Praise God. The question isn't, whether you going to face a battle? Praise God. It's what you going to do with the battle or you been? I got tripped up. I was in and out of church as a young person. I don't want to kiss 5, I guess. It ain't really a testimony, but I did. I thought I see people better. They're up against it and I know where I got. It brought me through, I can relate to someone, that's just feels so out of it. I do hope I don't come in and just recently I didn't even know I had been depressed and so long, but I didn't know what it felt like but I had a career change it. Let me put Lester, I didn't realize it. Let me into a state of depression. I was depressed about that. Some of the choices I made and it was just weighing on me and I didn't even realize that I was caught up in the depression because like I said, I wasn't used to be but then just a few weeks ago, we were in service and God touched me. And they lifted that I didn't even pray that God would lift. I was praying for him to get me out of the job situation. Phoenix. I'm still in the same job but he's lifted that depression that had me pinned down so I can deal with it. Now, God, I can deal with it. I may feel like I made a mistake. But he's got a purpose, he's got a purpose for. Even when we make mistakes, he can turn something good. What the enemy meant for evil? Praise God, he can turn it to something good. I don't know if it was the enemy. I just think that I would not do that little disappointed where I was, and I thought I want to do something different, then I found out my goodness. I had a good where I was at, just didn't realize the grass. Ain't always greener. They said that I was too old to be learning learning these lessons. I've learned praise God, but I've learned them. Anyway. Praise God. Hallelujah, I just want to bring this down on us. I want to talk a little bit about. This is a very familiar passes and I'm not going to read it. But what we need to realize this week, we got to be able to keep our eyes Unity, we got to realize it was our identity is in him. We are born of the water. We are born of the spirit, we cannot lose lose track of the fact that we are all the Kinks. Praise God. There's some privileges that come with that, that doesn't mean that you got to get out a get-out-of-jail-free or get out of here. I don't want to say that work. Doesn't that doesn't, that doesn't mean that we're going to get out of that free. There's a race that we still got to run. We can't wait, we're not getting a ticket or gold tickets. Then we can hold until that day and safe. I got the tickets know, this is the entrance. What you got when you got born again, was an interest to a race where he's got his stuff to each and everyone of us. Hallelujah to find where we need to be at. Praise God. For the first place, you need to be in the house of God. You need to have a minute. You need to have a pastor that preaches to you and helps you like ours is looking my pastor in his, we've been getting help here lately. He might not hear all the comments, but I'm here and I'm saying I'm to God, is using him to help us and I'm thankful for that. He's helping me, praise God. And that prayer room. I had a hard time finding a spot to pray tonight. I don't know about you. That's awesome. That's how I feel with everybody. Pray in the house. We pray.

That's not my message. Praise God. But we we we see David. You know, before God called David. He told he told Samuel, he said, I'm I found a man. After my own heart, he called him a man. Now he is when the, when the invitation went for dates, when Sammy went down to the Bethlehem, to meet with his family, with his dad. And he asked him to bring all of his sons in. They either didn't even get invited in for supper, didn't get invited. Then he was just hit his head. Even his own dad, didn't recognize what was going on. And then later on, then we see him coming in at the very last in the, in Samuel, the Lord speaks of Samuel cuz he looked at me like he was tall and handsome.

Lorcet know, you're looking on what's on the outside, but I might go a little bit deeper than that. He can stand my goodness, his eyes, or his eyes, can see farther than we can stick. In his eyes can see past the trial that were in right after his trial can already see. The victory is coming up the road, praying, your victory is yours. I can already see that. We may not be able to see it yet, but God is already got eyes on your next Victory, praise God. And he saw that David, he didn't, he didn't see what they wanted in. Eli of he, he knew who he was a boy, then been out there on the hillside, he wanted this little Shepherd boy that had already been exercising someplace. He wanted this little Shepherd boy. That went out after the bear when he cooking came and stole his father's When Faith. Praise God, not on his own ability, but that David is already developing Faith before everybody else even do it. He'd already developed what dog was looking for in a leader before anybody else. He's recognized his brother when he showed up to the battle. He said he was not, he was mad at me for being that. You're not supposed to be here. You're supposed to be out there taking care of the sheet. Where's my, where's your dad cheap at what? What are you doing with your left them out there defenseless, but he was there for a purpose. God revealed. What has been happening private was fixing to be known out in the out for everybody, everybody's eyes to see God already knew that it was not in himself in the face that he possessed the faith that he had his God, praise God. And that's, that's the key to our success is holding onto our faith. But we see David stepping out into that Arena. And he's and I'm not, I'm not, I'm not going to belabor the point because y'all know this story better than I do probably but we see that that giant stood out and he began the rail and he began to feel, tell them to send a man and and everybody was shaking in their boots, Saul's Army was shaking and now, here comes up. Here comes a little young man standing out there in the battlefield and he hears in something happened. Inside of it. Inside of David, praise God. He began that he began to feel that I begin to feel a faint because he's already been anointed. Praise God. How do we need to know any of the Holy Ghost and every service in our lives, he felt things something to Rose up in him when he when he heard that John challenging God's people and he said, hey it's a lot of calls that we needed somebody to take this scam before this guy. God, don't deliver with Spears and swords but he delivers in the name of the Lord in he had a power because he knew the name of the Lord, ain't you? Glad that you know the name of the Lord. Thank you. Glad you know the name of Jesus tonight. Praise God. You know that his name will save you. His name will keep you his name and his name will heal you when you're sick. Praise God, his name will deliver you. I know, I'm so thankful to know the name of Jesus, but we see David stepping out in faith. He didn't he didn't have an identity crisis. Even though everybody else around them didn't recognize what God was going to use doing his life. Even his father didn't recognize. It saw said, you're not ready for this guy. This guy. I've been fighting since you were just a young person, he said, and then, and then saw has enough had the gall to give him his armor, weigh him down with something that he wasn't, even though he wasn't experienced. But here, go ahead and take this. Not a pound of armor, whatever your weight, don't you? Go ahead and you can fight that you, I'm too scared to get out there. None of my men will be just weigh you down with something. I know I remember is a as a salesperson they change the way they wanted us to sell it at. Frito-Lay they wanted us to do that. They selling They want us to come in here. Present the facts to what is the show them how that we could grow their business? I had already, I was already good at selling. I didn't want to present the facts already had. This place has already grown in the store, they wanted me to percent all these facts. I told my boss, man, all I need is a piece of paper. I don't need all these facts. I don't just let me just keep doing what I've been doing. He said, just keep doing what you been doing. You been doing good enough break and that's what I can't do. What year did? I can't do what you're asking here with my sling in my stomach sprays. Are we need to get familiar with Victory? Hallelujah. David had already been familiar with a victory? Would that sling? Praise God in faith and he stood out there at my goodness, I'm getting a little bit away from what I intended to preach. Praise God, but that's okay. I'm going to, I'm still going to hold you to that 10 minutes. Praise God. I'm getting close. Does that give you some hope? Praise God. I'm only on page to Hallelujah. Praise God. But he stood out there not he didn't let everybody's opinion of him decide what he was going to do. My goodness, we don't need to wait on everybody's opinion to line up with God's purposes for our lives. We don't need to wait on everybody to agree. Praise God. We're ready. Praise at that. Nobody agreed. That David was ready to step out in faith and fine take time. But David knew his God he'd already experienced on the, what are you experienced on the side of the Hill? Praise God. Took him out onto the battlefield. Anyone 1st John, 5, and 5. And 4 says, for who whatsoever, is born of God overcometh, the world. And this is the victory that overcometh, the world, even our faith, praise God. Our faith is what's going to help us overcome our faith, not just a phase, praise God, but a face that's in our God. I think that looks back, praise God. And sees where God has delivered us from for the kill so I can look back and see some of them. Some of the valleys that I've been through some of the trials and I've been through and it God has brought me through. The only thing is I just need to Timothy. Paul, told Timothy, we've all got, we've all possess something, somebody things in my life that God has done, but it's just time for the church, but you're not pretty cost of church. We need to steer up. What? We have inside of us, please. So we can. So I can start showing, Hallelujah. We can we can start showing off what God has done, and we need a lift up on Facebook. There's people that come in here. They ain't got a lick of thing. They ain't got nothing, they need a church. That's why this man is plug-in. Is this plug-in to the supply? And God has supplied around here. I don't know if you've noticed or not. There is no us. There is a supply line break. I will just need to take advantage of it and every service praise got step out, Hallelujah and saved. But he's got to just believe God for your Miracle. Praise God. Because when you get your Miracle, you'll be ready to help somebody get theirs. Praise God. Hallelujah. Thank you. Lord. We can we skip some stuff? Praise God. Blippi is 3:13. And 14 says, Brethren, I count not myself to apprehended but this one thing I do forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things with her, before I press toward the mark, for the prize of the High Calling of God in Christ Jesus. We can't believe we can look back and see the failures that we've had, and let it inhibit us from the victory that God has for us. We may have failed. I know I failed in my life and in my, my testimony was so messed up as a young person there, but they didn't know if I was in church or out of church. They think that they got, they was, I was, I was confusing everybody. You know? They would send men are you cuz out, I was like in church, six months later, I will be out of church. And my friends ain't like, man. What I just said I was just, I was just lost for several years there and I mean, I would get in church and get charged up and let you know what, I go through a try a little bit, something happened and I wouldn't feel God, like I thought I needed to feel God and I just get discouraged and leave and I just went through a cycle there. And if I finally woke up it was it was a minister that came to pray with me. You didn't say nothing. He just braids with me brother Darren. And when he prayed, he prayed his hand up and down my back like this in the Holy Ghost and something broke inside of there. And I don't know what it was but I know from that day forward. I never did have a problem getting it now to church. I was mad. I was grounded after that point. So whatever is whatever spirit that had got attached to me, it was broke and it was gone. I never, I never from that day forward. I was always faithful to the house of God. Now I had ups and downs, but he delivered me from whatever was keep making me like, a like a in and out, like a ping-pong ball, man. I was, that's why I feel for, especially the young person that been there so many battles, at they face in their probably harder than they were when I was in person. But I know that a lot of people that want to can't be staying here no more. Reis meat, we talked about that all for me and my wife whose number of people that we grew up with it and that something happened in their life so they just didn't stay with it. Praise God, but I'm so thankful that God has kept me crazy. I'm so thankful that I've been, I've had people help me. I've had churches, I've had, I've had church, I've had Pastor that preached to me. Praise God, increase encouraging things to me, that made me. Made me want to keep going. Keep going forward and goddess. Help me how I didn't done it by myself. Praise God. They had a wonderful wife. This help me, praise God, but we needed one thing. Let me to meet with me and closing price on 23 points.

Free things. No one thing we do. We need to realize that God is giving us the power to overcome. He's giving us a victory, praise God. But it's not just a victory over over each battle that we Face the victory that he wants to give us, takes us out of this world. It takes us to his to the promise, praise God, that He gave to us. He said, I go to prepare a place for you at where I am. You might be also, he's going to prepare a place for each and everyone of us, we're going to have a we're going to have a funeral around here tomorrow and I hope I can make it praise God. Because brother Bob, Bolton, my goodness, he don't like it. I don't know. We're going to trouble any, we praise God. That he's ever shook his hand. I can't wait to get across because he's going to shake some hands again. Praise God when we step on that other side he's going to have a super train going to be loaded and ready. Praise God. We're going to step in Grey's, got it if we're going to I believe it, I believe God is not believe that my big tree that I have is not just a temporary victory. For the Darren is going to take me somewhere. I believe, I went in to start believing for no reason. There's a reason that the enemy is fighting you because he doesn't want you to have what God has got planned for you. He wants you to stumble. He wants you to fall like he did. And lose. He's a loser. Don't listen to a loser. Listen to the winter. He's right here. Hit his word. Right here will tell you. Praise God. 2nd Timothy 4 and 7, Paul's declared, he said I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course, I have kept the faith henceforth. There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness with the Lord. The righteous judge, shall give me at that day and not to me only button to all those that. Love his appearing. Can we stay in tonight? You were born with a purpose. You were born to overcome, you're not born to stay where you're at. I just got a purpose for you. He's got a plan for our lives and his, his plan is for us to overcome and his twin brother. Jeff is for us to finish. We're going to finish this race someday, if we stay faithful, it's not for those who start out real fast, some people come in just really strong, but then when something happens or trial things, don't go their way, they get disappointed, and they're no longer here, they leave, that's not the race that we're running, we're running a race that sometimes we're going to fall, sometimes I really thought that's why I need a brother and a sister, they will see me struggling. It will see me struggling in the way and they'll take their time for the for the last year and it will pick me up and they will help me get restored. Do you know that? You can write help, restore somebody. Hallelujah. We don't need all that somebody fall today. We need to, we need to restore them in the face. Hallelujah. When do the worship with him? Hallelujah, we need to pray with them. God's got a plan for them. He's got a plan for us as a church and if it is I was pulling together. He's got when we all pull together. What's that song? Say we all pull together and help me how what? How what? Puppy. Who doesn't want to be happy? We need to pull together. We need, we need to go back to the Sunday school class, why didn't get it? But I wouldn't listen to some of those Sunday school songs. We've gotten so away from Faith songs back there. We need to realize. God is got a plan? I got a purpose, I got a possibility, praise God, I got a purpose. Just got a capital P. Hallelujah, somebody help me. Somebody else. Singers. What's the rest of it? I got a problems. I am a promise, I promise, I promise. I'm a possibility, possibly don't give up on me. Just being around me a little bit more when you get when they don't look like nothing is growing, don't get, don't give up on me, Pastor just dig around. Have somebody? Get a tub of water and pour it in for the rental around the roots. I need to grow, Hallelujah. I don't need to be in the day that we're living in people's looking for somebody with hope, I don't want to leave. You see me getting depressed, somebody shape me. Praise God. I need to Shake in a few weeks ago. I've been struggling with God. Please check, man. I'm on the I'm on the elevator, the elevator. Now I was my goodness. I want to ask you later, but now I'm on the hellevator, my face and I'm seeing it other people. I'm seeing God, doing things that other people like that. Just doesn't even more for me brother Kelso and I see God bless and others. I know that he can go to bless me to praise God. If he's pushing them, he'll bless you to praise God, look around. Pastor used to say this, he said, all you got to do is look at one person ride the bicycle, you know, you can do it right past my, you say that me and him saying. Anything out instead of fifty times, while I was here, I use upset 50 times at the prison. I'll keep you all. Use some stuff you say to just be careful.
