I think about that very breast. The one that got me started this morning. I think about the breath that Jesus wasn't that he was a cycle for the day that I gave up when I was trying to do and said

We are here for Testimony service tonight. We will begin in just a moment and do we have the extra mic back there Robert good good. We got a runner runner runner and Dang it whenever you raise your hand whenever I open up the door for Tesla's whenever you raise your hand this guy here. I know he's in the 50 yard dash the other night and I'll bring you the microphone so that we can hear you and I want to hear your testimony in The Book of Mark briefly before we open up. There's a story and it's a true story. This is not a parable the true story about a demon possessed. A man who was possessed of meaning of legion of demons and whenever he was deliver whenever Jesus sailed the Gathering and delivered him from from all of these demons and cast them out into the swine. Stay the course the swine went and jumped in the sea. That whenever the man of gatherer came to Jesus and he said I want to I want to go with you. And that's honestly Jesus have been going around asking people follow me. Follow me. Follow me and cleanse Tim or never probably send anybody. And when the man of gatherer came to him and said, can I go with you?

He said no. You go you tell everybody you know what I've done for you.

You've got an incredible testimony man of gatherer. Because you were full of allegiant. I have delivered you from. You aren't just a fisherman. You aren't just a tax collector Legion demons and everybody, you know needs to hear what I've done for you. and so I O What is a testimony it's what God has helped you to overcome in your life. Whenever I think of my testimony and I may or may not testify whenever I think of my own testimony in the light of a lot of yours. People who have overcome so much through God's grace.

Anywhere from addiction to losing children.

So many of you have overcome so much and it stayed faithful to God. He's he is cleanse you of so much.

But whenever I think of some of the testimonies that you all have. Mine seems very meager.

So what it is, it's important none the less.

And everybody around me needs to hear mine and you'll get to hear mine all the time. So I'll probably shut up.

But everyone has a testimony. And everyone if you are full of the spirit of the lord your testimonies. The reason that we go through trials and tribulations because God hates us as a matter of fact. . Doesn't do bad stuff. Most of the time it's not the devil either.

What's the time in sauce? but there are trials and tribulations that

you all know that I look around this room. I know. Has you had to walk down and I know the trials and tribulations whether they were something you brought on yourself or whether they were a valley that God allowed. It was for if you're sitting here tonight. God has a purpose for all.

And it was to build a testimony. And you know what? I None of us want to go through trials and tribulations and I don't. I don't. But whenever I do go through trials and tribulations, I need to understand. I need to understand that I need to be worthy to stand beside those who are boiled and oil.

I need to be strong enough in the Lord to overcome. I need to I need to stand whenever I get there whenever I get to the other Shore that's what I'm going to be known for is the word of.

and a lot of times all the time all of us. We're just humans. But we see is our trials and tribulations as a bad thing.

In my tribulation. Are you crazy?

Is it okay to take great joy? Trials and tribulations and yeah, you got to be crazy to say that what the reason? Is that a new the more he overcame the bigger? His testimony was in everybody were they?

Whenever he was in prison. and so there's there's a lot of different types of testimonies. How many have you ever been in a testimony service before other than here? All right. All right, your old-time Pentecostal services, but I've heard you know, a lot of testimonies about people bragging about the temple days. That's not what we're here. We're here to brag about what God has delivered us from not what we were making out of us and your story

I want you to listen to this one thing and I'm not closing. I'm ready to open up the floor. but your story

each one of us are unique, but you're a story about how God delivered you. Is the key? That will open the door for someone else.

How many people I would love to know whenever I get to heaven how many people did you save the whole island? How many people did you witness to hear Jesus cast demons out of you? I would like to know that it's not recorded. But I will find out I'll get back to you. Like you said we're going to know each other in the next life. I'll get back to you on that one, but we'll all have to look him up.

But your testimony is someone else's victory. waiting to be if you have overcome something if God has strengthened you to overcome. You like the way for someone else? That needs deliverance from the very same sin or someone who needs guidance to that very same problem that very same Valley that urea Matthew Chapter 5 go with me.

5 and 14. We are the light of the world set on a hill and I'll be good. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but only handle sticking all that are in the house.

So your testimony is very important. This Little Light of Mine how many ever seen

amen sister Tanya the next Ayo, so you whenever you are born into the truth whenever you are raised. Sitting on the Pew truth many of you were many if you weren't. but when you were you were born with a bullseye. The devil whenever you whenever, you know the truth from childhood the devil seeks to sift you. That's what our kids need to understand. What we need to teach them is that the enemy is very anxious matter fact, he wants to shut up our testimony that we decide to go down that he thinks that he A lot of times what we're doing is what God is doing is creating that testimony overcoming testimony in our marriages. In our relationships in our lives and where much is given much is required. And you know, we we were raised in Pentecost. We need to understand in that we never got it. There's not a more beautiful more beautiful. Passage in the scripture. Then. I was out of the chronicle not a more beautiful passage and those of us who have been prodigal. Need to understand that it is a bet that but still you. Are you are a gigantic trophy. You need to understand that every day from you get out of bed that you're a gigantic trophy. There's a price on your head. You never need to forget that the enemy is working is very very patient is working against you day by day greater greater is he that is in us than he that is working against

The Revival that's in our children, but I do want to testify we were pray. I was praying over here with Sean and a couple of students from the class and almost got annoyed when I turned around Eli Lilly Eli said is that your son and I realized it but as soon as I said, yes, and then close their eyes lay their hands on Sean and started praying because of the connection to me as their Sunday school teacher are willing to pray for another person and I just thought you know, they're kind of day we're praying really praying for him. But I believe that they believe it also even after that I said Thank you. Thank you so much. I needed support today. And so they walked away. and they said she's crying and so there was a student from our class who was sitting back in the congregation crying over something like

and they called it. We all went over there and we pray for her. So I just want to testify what thank you all for the support. You're giving the kids the best Ministry. It's meaningful is powerful and it's making a difference in so thank you and thank the Lord thank God that he move among us the way. Thank all of you Ministries.

I'll tell you whenever you you do not I am convinced that any of you work in children's ministry Weathersby Sunday school children's church bus Ministry, whatever Ministry do not have any concert you do not have any concept of the impact that you're making on on their lives and you will not as long as we were you you may someday understand it and but you may not understand it until you get to the other side and you see those. Children that you want to talk show up behind you and say thank you. Thank you for teaching. So awesome. I got the money.

I was going to sing a song so first okay, Nathan take that microphone.

since you're talking about kids had a few things come to mind and

together here

while back I had a dream and it had to do with a talk with my dad a little bit so I may cry. butt up had a dream.

Now, I can't remember. It's either right before he died or is right at somewhere around same time. Not that it matters, but it was I had a dream that and I shared it with some pastor and eat. He shared with me. That was what he felt was. I had a dream that I was carrying my dad.

All my back and I was carrying them to a to get to a boat. I'm just enjoying my mind. It was like the ark you know, like Noah's Ark you know how dreams are there not always specific but you know, it's something like that. But anyways, I was carrying him and I will struggle and it was hard and I carried, you know all the way up to the mountain and you know, that's all I remember. But it's stuck with me and let me know how long has it been. 10 years so it's stuck with me for 10 years and so another dream cuz it just really impacts me and he felt like I was carrying the mantle my father's mantle. In life, and I didn't know what that meant. God please don't let it be preaching but I did not want and I still don't ever want that. weather anyways up lately. I just been thinking about it and you know really dwelling on that dream and I'm praying on it and It really kind of hit me just all of a sudden that I think that. Growing up if you don't my parents.

All they did was pray. I'm not saying any of this cuz I leave the prayer service. I'll come happens I guess but all they do is pray. I mean every day I probably shared it many times. But if I was trying to find my mom I couldn't find her in the house. I guarantee. I knew you was you locked in the room. I want the money. I'll be knocking on the door. You want to see her get mad. That was the time cuz once you start yelling at me. So, what's the name of my dad? cuz we live right next to church so I couldn't find them I go to church I could hear him crying and Sanctuary, you know crying and Actual frame and I was just letting it all out. I mean it was a daily thing. And just the things I've learned over time. Or just just from Watson. They didn't make me do anything. Sometimes. I wish they would have but they didn't make me do anything and you know, just talking about.

people together talking about

growing up and everything

I was a terrible kid, and I probably still am not very good but The things that my parents have instilled in me. Will never leave me and I even though I know you know. It's my fault. I know what I'm doing wrong, you know, I still do it but it's still if they're it's inside me. It's not because of what they told me. It's not because of what you know, they made me read or what-have-you. It's the way they live in that impacted my life, you know, it took years to do but it is and the scripture of you know train your child up in the way. He should go and when he is old, he will not depart that scripture is As true as it's ever been not just for me but for any parent in here, so your parent here and your kid is a pain in the butt. Don't stop. if you think you need to change things or where my advice and I'm probably wrong. I am most of the time.

But just give him more of the word don't you know, don't back off don't say okay. I'll lay off. I'll stop praying for you as much as I've seen won't do that, but I'll stop you know, whatever you do with them, you know. In The Godly fashion, whatever you do. Continue to do it obviously cuz that were train. Training is hard if you're in any one is an athlete here, if you train it is hard work training. Your kids is hard teenagers are the worst. I was one.

love you might have been you know, but my point is is that you know, don't quit continue on what you believe is right continuing continue to break if he's Faithful is the whole point of it is what I'm saying that he's faithful in that if you continue to train your children as they grow and grow and they won't depart that it may take

Take them to hit the lowest of their low, but they will go back to what you train them. They'll go back to what they know. They'll go back to what they seen you do and if and I'm speaking to myself cuz I going to goes back to the the mail thing in the prayer. Yeah. I started the prayer on Sunday nights. and I pray and I love to pray there then and have everybody pray and Brassfield and I didn't pray for it one night. I believe not but I failed to have a daily. Prayer prayer life like to not just I talk to God of all time. but the set time and like lock myself in the room and just you know me and him.

But it's if it wasn't for my parents and it wasn't for them showing me how to be showing you how to pray. Show me how do you know to trust in him in the face and I wouldn't know so but anyways, that's my testimony is that I guess for all of you any of you with kids, even if they're old. Continue don't stop praying for you. No, don't stop guiding. My mom will still jump on me. If I do anything if you don't like she's not afraid.

but anyways

I don't know if that's much of the testimony. It's awesome. It kind of went off and he consistently and fervently pray for your kids for yourself. You will honor that. 100% in an end to Europe warning read of all men were seen and read of all men but especially children. And your children know if you're the real deal or not? You know, like they know they know you and what they see in each one of us. More than likely will manifest in them. And I'm I'm standing literally I'm standing here tonight because of the way I saw my parents live in my grandmother lives in holy before me and it wasn't I said it wasn't anything to do with me. It was put into me and yes.

Young

If you want if you want your kids to know where to go. And that's where you need to go. You know and about your dream.

I'll be honest with you. You never know. If you if you turn your your life over completely God and you just let let it be not your will but his will you never know? You could land behind one of these before you know it. And I can tell you that it's I never thought that I would be the preacher.

It's pretty pretty crazy. So whatever. I don't believe that your dream has really been revealed to you yet. I really don't think it's being Ruby overtime. That's just my opinion. Yes, sir, Brother lyrics You have a brother.

I'll tell you.

I believe this whenever you were way back in that cesspool. That the Lord could see you driving down Highway 5 looking for a church. Hey, man, I believe that all the way back in that Cesspool guy could see you being united with your family right here. And I believe that was the will of God. If you don't know the story about about how the Rick's got into New Beginnings. It is just amazing. They were they were looking for a church and just so happen to drive down Highway 5, and we I think we just got the song.

And pull in there and then the rest is history. They are just a man.

the something else about your story, you know, there are a lot of false prophets Bible said that there would be a lot of false prophets.

There's a lot of Truth and a lot of preachers are afraid to save it. Preachers are intimidated, but I'll tell you what the first I remember the first person that ever prophesied to me about me. I will say I'm probably told a lot of you but it was an African American man and his wife work with me and

he came to up there to visit her and you didn't know me at all. You didn't know me at all. It is his wife introduced me to him in and he said so what you preach.

That was 18 years ago.

I said no. My brother's do my brother's they both have no plan to. No plans, and he said oh, well, you will and I was like you hide and watch you hide and watch. That was not in my plan and I'll be if he wasn't right at rest. He was right.

I lost it all lost my home everything I had on my so-called buddy is Rob Me by everything I did have. And all I've been getting out of jail was playing the $900,000 bond and I remember there was a guy in jail. Had a Bible study every night Bible study. I thought I'd give it a try, you know, so I thought going to Bible study talk to him and it's going to be praying about stuff.

Unbeliever prayers let you know God get me out of here. I'll do something. You know, I get me out of here. Let me out here. Let me go home and I'll change my ways. And it's time. I still didn't do it believe it. I was just saying it. Things that lower my bar and I got bonded out.

My mom beer pick me up.

First it wasn't greatest. No, he's still having problems Cowboy Church. And I passed the train Larry pillow and all people I met up there what I had going on charges. I had what kind of trouble I was in. I want help. Trouble that I could get in the first time in my life. I want some kind of help.

Maple Springs got me to the zoo.

And I got the privilege to come up here and help us going.

I watched it right here.

Give me back everything I lost. And you know, that's still not perfect, but it's locked.

I just I just now started Living. my entire life what I was doing, but it wasn't. No, and now I got home. I love it up here to Erwin.

So I'm trying to figure out what God's plan is for me. I don't know what that is. Stop being a man.

And then I'll tell you what Shane.

Do me this favor?

Cuz God is only began to working or not.

You don't even know. You don't even know he's only begin to work in your family. You do this for me. You pray that the Lord give you directions he would. Be a lamp unto your feet in line to your property.

And he will he will. I believe that I believe that you you ask him to clear the path that you're supposed to walk down. He's only begin to working you absolutely not I'll tell you I'll forever be thankful to to Pastor Rick but also all of these men do to assist us so much. We might still be in here, but I really believe God. It was no mistake that we cross paths new man. So so thankful for men like Shannon you're in good company. You're a good company because there's a good portion of the men and women in here that share a very similar story. It's right next.

Result everyone, but you know the scripture says I will look to the hills, Y'all have to really understand then help me. I mean I can go back to when I was a child. And how tough it was for me coming up as a child, you know and my testimony sort of like yours. Growing up into being around drug alcohol, the gang banger that I'm not supposed to be today.

Who's next?

Instantly regret it. My name's Brittany. I don't do well talking so bear with me now. I'm briefly just like talk about my testimony when I was 20. I was going to college at two jobs and I'm going to be an elementary teacher why not and I kind of told me we got to get out of here. We got to get out of here. Now. I've never been a week without my mom like I was like, okay and I've always had a passion for traveling and experiencing the world and God kind of like, let me down that path my best friend to be awesome. So I called my mom one day and I was like don't freak out but I dropped out of college and I apply for Southwest and more than likely I'm moving to a different state while being a parent. She flipped out on me was like you're going straight back to school the very next day and I was like God telling me this is something I need to do. I need to get out of, Arkansas. So typically for the Southwest process that takes 6 months to a year to even get an interview will my I dropped out and by January they were calling me. Can you come to Colorado have an interview? Okay. Sure. Why not my first time ever in Colorado. Never going to Colorado. I talked to my dad and my mom wanted to go with me to make a road trip out of this and I went and I like a physical he's going to take 6 months after this. So I thought if you don't come home and save up money, will they called me 2 weeks later. Can you come to work? Can I have 2 weeks left? My jobs now, right? Yeah, that's fine. So I moved to Colorado and I was nervous. I've never been anything. Like I didn't know anyone there side of my career and I loved it. I enjoyed it and then my mom called me every day you coming home? Cuz I know I feel like this is why I meant to be not knowing that the time what they were struggling with and how God took me out of that environment and put me somewhere where I could testify. I'm at my best friend that lives in Canada. She has no Christian friend. She said he will mock her make fun of her and every night. I got to sit and talk to her about God and she'll call me and say cherish those nights. She's like, I wish you loved me. And God knew what he was doing when he took me from my home and put me in this other place two and a half years later. I started out as a flight attendant then and that was like a dream job for someone so young and I heard God's voice again Britney. It's time to go home. I don't want to go back to Arkansas and kept on and kept on and you know, if a cup so I was gone. I did to my friends or family for four months and that's a long-ass. And the first day I got to come back home. My best friend is going to come pick me up from the airport and I was so excited. She called me and she's like Britney my baby sick. I'll see you tomorrow. My mom's coming to get me. I want to see your mom anyway. That night drastically changed when I got a phone call that Morgan has been killed. At 20 years old. I was like, this is not true. I don't believe it. There's no way that I just lost my best friend that had a baby. Well, my mom's like Britney. Are you sure you want to go back to Colorado know? It's tough when you're going to be out there by yourself and I can get through. This God is my strength. I don't I love you all to death, but I know through and through him just comforting me every night and giving that meet at strength that I can get through this. So I'm back to Colorado and it was hard. It was extremely tough. But he was consoling there. You constantly showing me. Hey, even though it's okay. This is this is for a reason I would never want angry with God or ran from him. I ran close. And then he told me I'm not ready. It's time to go back. It's time to do what you're called to do. And I've always had the missionaries hard. I've always wanted to help any way. I can if he part of just bring it to God and I was like, okay, I'll get there later maybe in 5 years or 10 years and it took actually a car wreck brick to open my eyes and I realized that moment I had taken the steering wheel of my life away from God God is not meant to be your co-pilot are sitting with it to drive us and the moment that you take a hold of that will you're going to crash and I physically crashed and I called my mom and I was like, it's time to come home. I'm done. I'm done trying to drive my life why I've never done that that's not the kind of person. I am anytime God taught me to do something. I've always ran head-first for it. And the moment that I kind of wanted to take with the will got show me what what happened to move back here and you know, people are criticizing me. You don't have a real job. What are you doing? God has provided for me every single time. I needed him and now because of him I'm able to go on a missionary trip my first time and I'm doing when he's calling and I guess my testimony is don't ever think that we can drive on life God if that's reason why we're here we're here to let him drive us and the moment we stepped away bad things happening when you give it to God he's going to provide for you whether it be financially or emotionally and physically and I'm really grateful that he's done that for me your testimony your testimony Aiea. I talk to people pretty often. They want God to help them. But want to do it their way what God wants God to help them in their way. You know, it's God just never does that God never helps us the way we think he on it. That's a that's a great testimony whenever you yeah, I don't want you to be my co-pilot. I wanted to be the timer.
