And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
Luke 6:12-13
Today the scripture I want to read found in the Book of Luke chapter number 6 beginning at verse 12 we're going to read verses 12 and 13. Luke chapter 6 verse 12 says on one of those days Jesus went out to the Mountainside to pray and spent the night praying to God when morning came he called his disciples whom he also designated as Apostles. I want to expound in that area right there and I want to talk from this subject this morning Squad goals.

Allow me to LEAP into this lesson today with a statement that is silent but significant to this series and sermon I'm going to capture it in a phrase for a note takers. The course and the quality of our life is not just determined by who we are it is equally impacted by who we are with.
Allow me to LEAP into this lesson today with a statement that is silent but significant to this series and sermon I'm going to capture it in a phrase for a note takers. The course and the quality of our life is not just determined by who we are it is equally impacted by who we are with.
I'll say it again for my Note takers the course and the quality of our life is not just determined by who we are it is equally impacted by who we are with in other words family I'm simply suggesting that in life we do not go as far as I dream, we go as far as our team.
I'll say it again for my Note takers the course and the quality of our life is not just determined by who we are it is equally impacted by who we are with. In other words family, I'm simply suggesting that In life we do not go as far as I dream, we go as far as our team.
On Superbowl Sunday, we witnessed one of the most significant sporting events in American culture is called the Super Bowl only two teams will play for the coveted prize of the Lombardi trophy.
However at the beginning of the year several teams had a dream that they would be there.
On Superbowl Sunday, we witnessed one of the most significant sporting events in American culture is called the Super Bowl only two teams will play for the coveted prize of the Lombardi trophy.
But the fact that all of them except to did not get there is an indication of what I'm trying to articulate it's not that those teams that didn't make it didn't have a good dream, if they didn't have a good team.
However at the beginning of the year several teams had a dream that they would be there.
Because you don't go as far as your dream you go as far as your team and I am not sure if we are aware of this but the Bible is clear that we have been created for collaboration we have been engineered for interdependent that one of the distinct is between us and God is God is self-sufficient and we are not. God needs nothing from no one, everything that he needs is within himself he is self-sufficient he is all sufficient but we ladies and gentlemen are not God and the Bible is clear when God created the first human Adam he evaluated what he created and came to the conclusion it is not good for man to be alone. How could Adam be alone if God was there?
But the fact that all of them except to did not get there is an indication of what I'm trying to articulate it's not that those teams that didn't make it didn't have a good dream, if they didn't have a good team.
God is saying that Adam needs somebody that looks like him and I'm simply trying to suggest that as was the case for Adam so it is for you and me for me to be the best me I need somebody besides me.
I need to hear better a man than that yes get the Bible put it this way in it says as iron sharpens iron so one person sharpens another to sharpen means to improve to enhance and so the scripture seem to be suggesting that how sharp I am is based on who I'm rubbing up against.
Because You don't go as far as your dream you go as far as your team and I am not sure if we are aware of this but the Bible is clear that we have been created for collaboration. We have been engineered for interdependent that one of the distinct is between us and God is God is self-sufficient and we are not. God needs nothing from no one, everything that he needs is within himself, he is self-sufficient he is all sufficient but we ladies and gentlemen are not God and the Bible is clear when God created the first human Adam he evaluated what he created and came to the conclusion it is not good for man to be alone. How could Adam be alone if God was there?
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
- KJV
God is saying that Adam needs somebody that looks like him and I'm simply trying to suggest that as was the case for Adam so it is for you and me for me to be the best me I need somebody besides me.
The question is are the people I'm rubbing shoulders with making me more dull or making me sharp?
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
- KJV
Because the course and the quality of my life is not just to tell me about who I am is equally impacted about who I'm with. The Bible also says in watch this it says walk with wise and walk with the wise and become wise.
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
- KJV
The Bible put it this way in it says as iron sharpens iron so one person sharpens another to sharpen means to improve to enhance and so the scripture seem to be suggesting that How sharp I am is based on who I'm rubbing up against.
This is interesting because the first part of that says you will become like who you walk with.
The question is are the people I'm rubbing shoulders with making me more dull or making me sharp?
But it says a companion of fools suffers harm. Look at what it says, it doesn't say of fools suffers harm it says a companion of fools suffers harm. So I don't have to be a fool to be harmed I just have to hang with them.
Because the course and the quality of my life is not just about who I am, it is equally impacted about who I'm with. The Bible also says in watch this it says walk with wise and walk with the wise and become wise.
Did you hear what I just said? Because you don't go as far as your dream you go as far as your team. Therefore our success is determined by our Squad. So one of the most consequential and critical decisions and choices we will ever make is whether or not we're able to move from just having people around us we can be with.
Not just friends, but having people around us we can build with.
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
- KJV
That's a squad!
This is interesting because the first part of that says you will become like who you walk with.
We need more than people that can hang with me we need people that can help me because your presence on this planet is Not an Accident it is not a coincidence your parents may not have planned your arrival but God did. He strategically, orchestrated Your Existence you were born when you were supposed to Born to be born where you were supposed to be born and even if you don't like the people that are responsible for your birth. Make sure you got the right DNA and the right genetic code so that you can be all that is called you to be. He's put a dream in your heart that's a picture of his purpose for your life and you can't build that dream by yourself.
But it says a companion of fools suffers harm. Look at what it says, It doesn't say fools suffers harm, it says a companion of fools suffers harm. So I don't have to be a fool to be harmed I just have to hang with them.
You need some help, you need a squad, you need someone who's your helpmate. You need some peanut butter to your jelly you need somebody that's a strong where you are weak. You need somebody that's organized and strategic. You need a team for your dream
Ladies and gentlemen I am saying this because when I examine the life of the most influential person in human history what do you believe in the religious impact he made a not whether you see him as I see him as a forgive of mice and the leader of my life or not whether he is just something historic figure some wise teacher to you we're resting me he's my personal Lord and Savior you may not be there yet I hope you get there but you may not get there I love you anyway you don't have to believe like I believe to belong but what I do want to say to you later than gentleman what I do want you to be clear on is the most influential figure in human history did what I'm talking about right now his name is Jesus before he performed one Miracle before he turned water to wine before he raised Lazarus from the dead before he open blind eyes before he was betrayed crucified put in a tomb stayed there three days early Sunday morning. Up out of the grapes before he did any of that before Zacchaeus climbed the tree to see him before Nicodemus
Did you hear what I just said? Because you don't go as far as your dream you go as far as your team. Therefore our success is determined by our Squad. So one of the most consequential and critical decisions and choices we will ever make is whether or not we're able to move from just having people around us we can be with, not just friends, but having people around us we can build with.
Before he stopped the funeral in name before he healed the syrophoenician woman's daughter before he opens by the medicines behind eyes before he healed Peter's mother-in-law.
That's a squad!
Jesus the bright and Morning Star Jesus The Bridge Over Troubled Water Jesus lawyer in the courtroom Jesus Jesus he did any of that.
We need more than people that can hang with me we need people that can help. Because your presence on this planet is Not an Accident, it is not a coincidence. Your parents may not have planned your arrival but God did. He strategically, orchestrated Your Existence you were born when you were supposed to Born to be born where you were supposed to be born and even if you don't like the people that are responsible for your birth. Make sure you got the right DNA and the right genetic code so that you can be all that is called you to be. He's put a dream in your heart that's a picture of his purpose for your life and you can't build that dream by yourself.
The first thing he did was built the team.
The first thing he did was selected a squad because he could not accomplish his dream without it.
You need some help, you need a squad, you need someone who's your helpmate. You need some peanut butter to your jelly you need somebody that's a strong where you are weak. You need somebody that's organized and strategic. You need a team for your dream
Do you hear me? This is interesting. Everything in our texts and reveals to us how this takes place inside Jesus selected his Squad.
Ladies and gentlemen I am saying this because when I examine the life of the most influential person in human history what do you believe in the religious impact he made a not whether you see him as I see him as a forgive of mice and the leader of my life or not whether he is just something historic figure some wise teacher to you we're resting me he's my personal Lord and Savior you may not be there yet I hope you get there but you may not get there I love you anyway you don't have to believe like I believe to belong but what I do want to say to you later than gentleman what I do want you to be clear on is the most influential figure in human history did what I'm talking about right now his name is Jesus. Before he performed one Miracle, before he turned water to wine, before he raised Lazarus from the dead, before he open blind eyes, before he was betrayed, crucified, put in a tomb, stayed there three days,got up early Sunday morning. Before he did any of that, before Zacchaeus climbed the tree to see him, before Nicodemus, before he stopped the funeral in Nain, before he healed the syrophoenician woman's daughter, before he opens blinded eyes, before he healed Peter's mother-in-law.
Look at verse 12 it says here that shows the first thing you did one of those days Jesus went out to a Mountainside to pray and spent the night praying to God that's it right there there it is whoop there it is right there he went to a Mountainside to pray and spent the night praying to God that the first step in selecting his Squad, prayer
Jesus the bright and Morning Star, Jesus The Bridge Over Troubled Water, Jesus lawyer in the courtroom, before Jesus did any of that.
He prayed.
The first thing he did was built the team.
I want you to understand that prayers all admin commands all of written communication with God the father in the name of Jesus Son with the sisters of the Holy Spirit the purpose of prayer is not to notify God ever need he already knows what we need before we ask the purpose of prayer is to express our dependency When you pray to God prayer becomes Praise Is Not Just prayer is praise because when you go to God and ask him to do something nobody else can do you're praising him you're saying I'm asking you cuz I know you able I'm not asking them because they not you and you not them but I'm asking you because I know if they can't fix it you can if they can't open the door you can if they can't make the way you can
So is interesting because out of all the things we pray for I want to ask you something
The first thing he did was selected a squad because he could not accomplish his dream without it.
Have you ever prayed for a squad
Do you hear me? This is interesting. Everything in our texts and reveals to us how this takes place inside Jesus selected his Squad.
I think it's important question to ask cuz the Bible says we have not because we ask not there are some things we don't have because we don't ask again because asking is an expression of our dependency is an act of humility
Look at verse 12 it says here that shows the first thing you did one of those days Jesus went out to a Mountainside to pray and spent the night praying to God. That's it right there, there it is, he went to a Mountainside to pray and spent the night praying to God that the first step in selecting his Squad, Prayer
so here's my question we pray for number things
have you ever pray for help
He prayed.
prayer is important because one two things that prayer does adjust your eyes you got two sets of eyes you got the eyes in your head they give you sight but then you got the eyes in your heart that give you Vision the eyes in your heart help you see beyond what you see and I believe some people are here the only reason you survived some of the stuff you survived is because you see something that other people don't see
I want you to understand that Prayer is communication with God. The purpose of prayer is not to notify God ever need he already knows what we need before we ask. The purpose of prayer is to express our dependency. When you pray to God, prayer becomes Praise. Because when you go to God and ask him to do something nobody else can do you're praising him. You're saying I'm asking you because I know you able. I'm not asking them because they not you. I'm asking you because I know if they can't fix it you can, if they can't open the door you can, if they can't make the way you can.
you see something with these eyes right and you can't pick right if you see wrong you can't have a good team if you draft bad
So is interesting because out of all the things we pray for I want to ask you something
prayer helps you see right
cuz my perception affects my picking and here's my question family here's my question now when it comes to when it comes to prayer prayer helps me see first of all what I need
Have you ever prayed for a squad?
what if I told you some people just pick people in their Circle that they like
I think it's important question to ask cuz the Bible says we have not because we ask not there are some things we don't have because we don't ask again because asking is an expression of our dependency, an act of humility
and they don't take people with that they need
So here's my question we pray for number things
cuz some people that are assets to your life are going to have some things that are agitating about them
and some people lose the asset because they can't handle the agitation but if they are not like you you're going to bump heads sometimes but in order for you to Bill what God is calling you to build you need somebody that's not like you that does not think like you if you are stiff you are abstract and you are conceptual you need somebody that is strategic and sometimes when you trying to drink they're going to be like ABC that you going to be like why you always got to be in your hand and not realizing
Have you ever prayed for help?
that's some assets are agitated
Prayer is important because one two things that prayer does adjust your eyes you got two sets of eyes you got the eyes in your head they give you sight but then you got the eyes in your heart that give you Vision the eyes in your heart help you see beyond what you see and I believe some people are here the only reason you survived some of the stuff you survived is because you see something that other people don't see
but when we partner together
You can't pick right if you see wrong. You can't have a good team if you draft bad
we're able to achieve but we could not achieve on our own
I just don't know why I am this this the last service yeah this service number for that this I know where I am so I can say this without being passed orally political I can just say it like a t i is I know what service I'm at I know who I'm talkin too many of us are at a point in our life
Prayer helps you see right
but we are two grown
Because my perception affects my picking. Prayer helps me see first of all what I need.
to be obsessively controlled by the need for company
What if I told you some people just pick people in their Circle that they like
there's some people in this room that are trying to build something I'm just not looking at looking for somebody to hang out with I'm looking for some help because there's something in my heart to build and I don't have years to waste more than just a circle
I need a squad
and they don't pick people that they need.
you don't have to go to the mall together can you help me build
cuz some people that are assets to your life are going to have some things that are agitating about them
we don't have to hang out together I got people for that but can you help me build something God is birthing something in me are you an asset in the area where I am a liability
and some people lose the asset because they can't handle the agitation but if they are not like you you're going to bump heads sometimes but in order for you to build what God is calling you to build you need somebody that's not like you that does not think like you
prayer helps me see what I need
that's some assets are agitated
because we see what I need
helps me it helps me be okay with what I'm not
but when we partner together
because to see what you mean you have to see what you don't have
we're able to achieve but we could not achieve on our own
you have to acknowledge your deficits without feeling inadequate
We are too grown to be obsessively controlled by the need for company
am I make it sent to you so so it helps us see what we need but also helps us see what we don't have an excuse me I do have see an example this is not a second Kings chapter number 6 that's his Prophet named Elijah who was in this Kingdom call Israel and these enemy Kings will always try to attack the Kingdom of Israel but God will show it to Elijah first and why she would tell the king so the other kings wouldn't get an advantage over him so they got frustrated and all these things came together and said we need to take Elijah because he's the one that's telling the King was about to happen is interesting because none of these Kings like each other but they came together to fight Elijah cuz people that don't like each other will come together to come and get you
so I don't even know y'all liked each other I thought y'all didn't y'all didn't speak now all of a sudden y'all chummy-chummy and Buddy Buddy
there's some people in this room that are trying to build something I'm just not looking for somebody to hang out with, I'm looking for some help. Because there's something in my heart to build and I don't have years to waste. I need more than just a circle, I need a squad
you know I'm following each other
You don't have to go to the mall together can you help me build
so these enemy armies come and they come up to Elijah's doorstep and Elijah had it has a servant and assistant who's with him and he walked outside and he's like old goddess it's over
Can you help me build something God is birthing in me? Are you an asset in the area where I am a liability?
he says oh my Lord what shall we do we about to die and the Bible says the Prophet Elijah answered him don't be afraid
those who are with us are more than those that are with them
Prayer helps me see what I need
the server like okay hehehe although some wrong with the profit because it's two of us and it's an army field with them and the Bible says that the prophet didn't preach to him
It helps me be okay with what I'm not. Because to see what you need, you have to see what you don't have.
he pray for him he pray this prayer Lord open his eyes and when his eyes were open it says that he look to the hills from whence came his help and Amber Hills he saw heels full of horses and chariots and fire all around Elijah did you hear what I just said she helped was around him he just couldn't see it when you pray prayer helps you see the help you've been looking over
You have to acknowledge your deficits without feeling inadequate
Sometimes I help you're looking for is right underneath your nose
Can I just park here for a minute
It helps us see what we need but also helps us see what we don't have. In second Kings chapter number 6 that's his Prophet named Elijah who was in this Kingdom call Israel and these enemy Kings will always try to attack the Kingdom of Israel but God will show it to Elijah first and why she would tell the king so the other kings wouldn't get an advantage over him so they got frustrated and all these things came together and said we need to take Elijah because he's the one that's telling the King was about to happen is interesting because none of these Kings like each other but they came together to fight Elijah
how many times do people miss the help that they need when it's right under their nose cuz they don't see that the answer to that prayer comes in the form of a project sometimes God answers your prayer and Seed form and you got to do the work to turn it into the Harvest but will you when you don't recognize that God can be sending you your boy ass and you can walk away cuz he don't dress right girl that man got a job he loves Jesus and he's going to take care of you if you don't take him to Quaker Bridge Mall and get him an outfit this too much I know
So these enemy armies come and they come up to Elijah's doorstep and Elijah had it has a servant and assistant who's with him and he walked outside and he's like ole my goddess it's over
you better take him to the mall and help him coordinate you can fix the outfit you came by character you came by security you came by faithfulness
He says oh my Lord what shall we do we about to die and the Bible says the Prophet Elijah answered him don't be afraid.
are you all alright I got 6 minutes are we okay
and I pray in this season. Open your eyes I pray that he open your eyes to see help you need that you may have been looking over I pray that he open your eyes to see assets that may be overlooked but you would not take for granted something that is unique and rare and
Those who are with us are more than those that are with them
can you pray the second thing that Jesus did notice verse 13 that says in he called the disciples to himself
The servant is like okay some wrong with the prophet because it's two of us and it's an army with them and the Bible says that the prophet didn't preach to him.
second thing he did as he pursued he didn't wait for the disciples to come to him he called them to him here's a lesson when you're building a squad you don't need people that are called to what you building you need people that are called to you
He prays for him. He prays this prayer, "Lord open his eyes" and when his eyes were open it says that he look to the hills from whence came his help and Amber Hills he saw hills full of horses and chariots and fire all around Elijah did you hear what I just said she helped was around him he just couldn't see it when you pray prayer helps you see the help you've been looking over
Peter was called to Jesus
when do the Cypress deserted when a number to cycle deserted Jesus Jesus asks Peter you going to leave to Peter said where else can I go you have the words of eternal life see you don't want people call go to the bigness of what you built that because if they find something bigger they might leave what you building for the business you don't want you on someone who appreciates your beauty but who's not just with you because of your beauty because if they run into someone else that has more Beauty you got to question their loyalty you don't want a woman who's just with you if you want her to
Sometimes the help you're looking for is right underneath your nose
she ate some of the value that you add me but you don't want her to be with you just because of that because if you find someone who can do more you have to wonder about hello
Can I just park here for a minute
Connected to the bigness you want somebody that's connected to the perception may God send you people that are called to you and the word for that is loyalty that's not a bad word that's a Biblical word God's love is a loyal love God is a loyal God when people walk out he steps in when they leave he stays David say it when my mother and father forsake me the Lord will take me up is there anybody here that knows your God is a loyal God
How many times do people miss the help that they need when it's right under their nose
and loyalty is only revealed in the face and in the presence of other opportunities
did you hear what I just said
And I pray in this season open your eyes. I pray that he open your eyes to see help you need that you may have been looking over. I pray that he open your eyes to see assets that may be overlooked. That you would not take for granted, something that is unique and rare.
yes you don't know people are loyal until they have the opportunity to not be
The second thing that Jesus did notice verse 13 that says in he called the disciples to himself
did you hear what I just said you don't know if other people are loyal until they have the opportunity to not be loyalties reveal in the presence of other opportunities loyalty is revealed in the face of inconvenience you don't know if they're loyal until it's hard to not be
Second thing he did, he didn't wait for the disciples to come to him, he called them to him. Here's a lesson, When you're building a squad, you don't need people that are called to what you building, you need people that are called to you.
are you loyal when it's easier to be loyal
Peter was called to Jesus
and then loyalty is revealed by their actions in your absence
I don't know who this is for but I'm getting ready to pray this over somebody's life I'm believing God is going to do this over somebody's life cuz some of you for most of your life you've been sowing seeds of loyalty but you've been reaping a harvest of betrayal I'm praying that God sends you into a season where you reap a harvest that is consistent with a loyalty use I'm praying for a mommy of loyal Squad members to come into your life to stay on call with you if you are I'm with you if you down I'm with you ship is going good I'm with you it's going bad I'm with you cuz I'm not called to what you do I'm talk to who you are
When a number of disciple deserted Jesus, Jesus asks Peter are you going to leave? Peter said where else can I go you have the words of eternal life. See you don't want people call go to the bigness of what you built that because if they find something bigger they might leave what you building for the bigger. Because if they run into someone else that has more, you got to question their loyalty
I'm done my time is up number 3
May God send you people that are called to you and the word for that is loyalty that's not a bad word that's a Biblical word. God's love is a loyal love God is a loyal God when people walk out he steps in when they leave he stays David say it when my mother and father forsake me the Lord will take me up is there anybody here that knows Your God is a loyal God
the text says and he chose when he called his disciples to him and he chose 12 of them who he also designated to be Apostles he prayed he pursued last keep it
and loyalty is only revealed in the face and in the presence of other opportunities
don't miss this come here Sunday school students you grow pencils go come here Vacation Bible School come here I want cuz because the text says something I think we miss over we miss look sometimes we we we think we forget don't miss this y'all don't miss this we think that that all the disciples were apostles
every apostle was a disciple but every disciple what menopausal look at the text he called the disciples to himself and then he picked 12 out of the disciples the Bible mentions 70 disciples his tongue to disciples you see the disciples were people that he hung with the the apostles were people that helped him the disciples were people that pulled on him the apostles were people that partnered with him here's my question are you picking disciples to be apostles
did you hear what I just said
sometimes you trying to carry people who should be Waterboys on the field
yes you don't know people are loyal until they have the opportunity to not be
but that's my friend but they can't play
did you hear what I just said you don't know if other people are loyal until they have the opportunity to not be. Loyalties reveal in the presence of other opportunities loyalty is revealed in the face of inconvenience you don't know if they're loyal until it's hard to not be
that's my cousin they can't play though
and then this season go hang with them after the game but when it's game time you need people on the squad that can get the job done. I got friends to hang with you and that category when it comes to Kingdom Business I need a squad to bill with
are you loyal when it's easier to be loyal
is Super Bowl Sunday when you pick in three kinds of people you need to pick number one you need to pick blockers
and then loyalty is revealed by their actions in your absence
any people that blocked for you
I don't know who this is for but I'm getting ready to pray this over somebody's life I'm believing God is going to do this over somebody's life cuz some of you for most of your life you've been sowing seeds of loyalty but you've been reaping a harvest of betrayal I'm praying that God sends you into a season where you reap a harvest that is consistent with a loyalty use I'm praying for a mommy of loyal Squad members to come into your life to stay on call with you if you are I'm with you if you down I'm with you when it is going good I'm with you it's going bad I'm with you cuz I'm not called to what you do I'm called to who you are
you know what block is do they protect that's what they protect sometimes they protect the quarterback from things they can't see
you need people there to protect you
I'm done my time is up number 3
some things you can't say you need Peters
the text says and he chose when he called his disciples to him and he chose 12 of them who he also designated to be Apostles
who sometimes you got the phone I'm back home and stop cutting off people
Don't miss this, the text says something I think we miss, we over look. Y'all don't miss this we think that that all the disciples were apostles
block is not only protect they create pass
some running backs run through a hold of blocker created the running back gets the touchdown the running back gets the credit and the offense of Lyman will come and congratulate a running back on him scoring anyone the score without the line Mexico's blockers don't need credit
Every apostle was a disciple, but every disciple was not an apostle. Look at the text, he called the disciples to himself and then he picked 12 out of the disciples. The Bible mentions 70 disciples. You see the disciples were people that he hung with the the apostles were people that helped him. The disciples were people that pulled on him the apostles were people that partnered with him.
blockers will help you in and then celebrate your winning you know who Jesus is blocker was John the Baptist John said I'm preparing the way for somebody that's going to come after me John said imma decrease the one that comes after me can increase John leak in his mother's belly when Jesus came around you because your blockers are not trying to compete with you they don't want to be you they want you to be all God's call to the beach and they will help you get there do you have lockers on your squad
When you pick, you need three kinds of people. You need to pick number one, you need to pick Blockers
blockers number two
You know what blockers do? They protect, that's what they do. They protect the quarterback from things they can't see.
you need backs
when you trying to build something great you can't do it all
You need people there to protect you
you need somebody you can hand some stuff off to and you can trust them not to Fumble it
Some things you can't see. You need a Peter.
yeah if your parent is going to be a day you can't not get through your child you're going to say go talk to your uncle before I
Blockers not only protect, they create paths.
pray for you
Some running backs run through a hole that a blocker created. The running back gets the touchdown, the running back gets the credit, and the offensive lineman will come and congratulate a running back on him scoring. He wouldn't have scored without the blockers. Blockers don't need credit.
YouTubers not going to phone but what you give to that man if I share my soul with you don't fumble that
open my heart to you don't fumble that
Blockers will help you and then celebrate your winning. You know who Jesus' blocker was? John the Baptist. John said I'm preparing the way for somebody that's going to come after me. John said imma decrease so that the one that comes after me can increase. John leaped in his mother's belly when Jesus came around. Your blockers are not trying to compete with you, they don't want to be you, they want you to be all God's call to the be and they will help you get there. Do you have bockers on your squad?
