Sunday Service
in Philly and these two women were they looked at me and I caught their eye they caught my eye and sideways at them. I did. And I went over to their table. I got it from table. I was at and I sat down in front of them.
And I said, hey guys, what's your name? What's your name? My name is Lennie Of Mice and Men.
And they looked at me and said this is my wife Lenny and Lenny said this is my wife cell. I picked the right table.
So what do you guys think? I did next? Let me share this with you when that happened. Do you guys think I had a plan?
No. Don't play it.
Listen, I'm not sure a quote that is true sometime, but not all the time. The quote is those who fail to plan do what? That is true sometime. but when you're with God, the only planned you need is God Is all you need? Could you imagine if I went in with the plan? And I seen that immediately for the plan is to give you Rome the Romans road, right? Bro, I'm sitting for short of the glory of God. I will try my best to doing it as Lynn voice to but that's not what happened. I sat down and I started sharing my life.
I start seeing the story with them about childhood in it and abuse that happened to cousins and they looked at me like and I looked at the one I said your problem is you have church her. She's like no, it's not Church her. It's the people in the church.
I thought to myself. Oh sweetie. That's Church hurt.
But at the end of the conversation with Sam and Lenny, I got to pray that they cannot bless you guys are like, yeah.
That's what I said if you give me your hands. They gave me their heads and I start praying and I release the spirit of God on that.
Because I did that I watched one of them go like they're not used to that. And I said dude, I'm going to tell you was getting ready to happen in your life there like what? I said there's going to be Angels ministering at your bedside. As you guys sleep angels are coming to minister to you guys because of this encounter. He mostly wants or did you have to say that top? Well, it's not mistaken in my Bible tells me that Jesus said that all authority in Heaven and Earth is given to me and as the father sends me I do what? Come on.
Is a type of how do you know what happened? I released face and I just simply believe I'll give him what God had for me to give. Do you know what happened next? I almost got kicked out of T-Mobile.
actual T-Mobile was before Before I met Sam and Lenny, I was at T-Mobile. Cuz my phone did I don't know about you. But since we've been talkin about Outreach and shared our stories, my phone is went completely hate wires on me.
Would you want you guys understand something?
I have a 5G phone so you can say it's a war phone. I won't go there.
What is 5G and I should have service everywhere and I'm in the city and my signals not coming yet. I'm out here. My signal not is not coming that I don't get a new SIMs card when I'm down in Philly because it says SIM card not reading. So I get a new SIM card stopped walking T-Mobile and I said hey, I need help you like okay. Well, there's a lot and this guy's right in front of me. I said he's like what I said, what's your purpose?
Why not? Have fun?
Big dude, I don't need a plan. I need God. What is it? What's your purpose? And then he went on some spiel about the universe universe is I don't like you really do not know the one who made it. Give me your hand. Eddie just meet his hat and guess what happened next? No, no, not yet.
He gave me his head and I said in the name of Jesus. I release the spirit of God on you and the spirit of God hit the dude in the middle of T-Mobile.
And he's like, yeah. So, you know, it's not me Jesus. I asked for more double it and it went like
he looked at me. I said Jesus loves you. God has a plan for you. He wants a relationship with you. This is an opportunity for you to start one. You need to get to know God through Christ Jesus and the massage. This is too you feel the presence of God on you is from him. He walks out of there like okay for you. I will never forget this moment.
So guess what guess what happened next? No, I had to go sit down. And so these ladies are next to me and they're like
Would you do it I said you heard this awesome text me about this guy who got Jesus showed up in his bedroom when he was dying and got to come actually killed. He was in the hospital, but we're going to be like it. So then they start speaking Spanish so I can talk to them.
Like what do you do when someone wants to just ignore you? Do you know that?
I just lean back and I I know like a couple Spanish words.
And I started saying Santo Jesus Otto, which means holy Jesus. Holy Jesus. They looked at me with This guy's a loony if you're worried about being looking weird, you got to get over it. You know, I watch dick talkers do the stupidest thing. You guys know what I mean you were when they were doing those.
tide challenges it was so stupid things in their mouth and chew them. I mean, I don't want to put this detergent in my mouth. My parents would tell me if you say one more bad word. Don't taste good.
Stop picking my heart. Why are we sitting there allowing? Tik tok's to have more.
Dominance over people's minds than the kingdom of God and I realized get stalkers don't walk in fear.
Go to meet you somewhere or just stupid. Wow, that was stupid.
What does what is wise man it was still funny though. The woman looks at them and it says my honey, would you love me if I was fat? And the man says yeah in the child here. They're little kids mom. She already faxed.
Oh my God.
This is ridiculous.
So the song get called up and I'm sitting there and I start just open my phone thanking God. I just start praying and talks. Not loud either cuz I don't like to do that caused people to get I just do it underneath my breath like, you know what I'm talking about when your parents would tell you to do something and that you didn't want to do that looked at me. He's like, yeah, and you would talk under your breath, right?
Let's go to Fred Flintstone. You know what I mean record. I'm just praying that my breath I go over there and finally, it's my turn to get my new SIM card in. This phone should work now, right I get a new SIM card and I said, hey, excuse me. She was helping me. I said I see the color green and yellow all around you all my God. My favorite color also got show me you came out of a rough season. Yes, I have. Search crying, this is Lady. Help me at T-Mobile. But I'm here today to view to let you know God says he works all things out for the good. Can I see your hands? Because what happened to getting your hats, haha.
She taught why would you do that? You guys were reading in the Bible where it says the kingdom of God is where?
A lot of now we can be real theological with this whole thing to say, but it actually meant the time but I just like to just be a child with God and say that the kingdom of God is at hand that means at hand.
So I'm saying give me your hand so I can give you the kingdom through my head. It gets me your hands. I start praying for the spirit of God drops on her and that moment she did you have to go.
Is what happened been serious?
Got a new SIMs card.
I called T-Mobile. No reason why this phone should not be working, but it's not working all the time properly now. I restarted it. It started when we started teaching about Outreach. Let me share something with you guys when we start teaching about advancing God's kingdom and stepping out in faith expect.
Expect stuff like this to happen.
stories about the kingdom of God But you're going to share my religion then your phone's not going to act up.
I can't wait to tell you all. I'm going to go there today.
Do a broken phone. I'm going to need flight. Hey, and then I told my wife we're switching to Verizon. That's what we're doing. This is just one of many dude. I met the met a guy named Jaden and a candy shop. You know what? I wanted. I just wanted Boston baked beans you guys know, what kind of candy that is. It's the best candy ever like I used to get him at least $0.25 boxes. You got your wife and you know, it was a day, you know what I mean, right Joe. Oh my God, we're going to have to bring it in.
It sounds like it's just it's candy-coated peanuts and you're so yummy. And I want it in the candy shop grandfather's candy. I was like I'm going in there and I meet a guy named Jaden and I start sharing Jesus with them and he cries. He's like two thousand fold away from God. starts repair
Why? Because my Bible says it's the goodness of God that draws man's heart to repent that means to change the way you think he started to come into agreement with What God Says over with cheese sauce.
How do you say dude? I just need my mom used to teach me to buy walk out of somewhere. I'm just and I pray for myself. I'm here to remind you guys with you and he wants a relationship restored and boo. Joseph right in the candy store.
Do you know that I shared my testimony like three times with people? I served my Testament it three times. Do you know why when you share your testimony, you're actually saying God do it again.
Well, I sure about the radical conversion in my life. I'm saying God do it again. When you share your story with someone. It's the testimony, right and Revelations. It says they overcame by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony and they loved their lives not even unto death when you get over how people make treat you and you are more concerned about the blood that speaks a better thing for you. You'll share your testimony and through your story. You're really powerful people to overcome.
Thank you. Really the mic drop moment boob. But you are literally called God's glory and in Georgia this this pastor. They broke up for Bible for couple years now. I don't just baptizing people in there getting wrecked. Healed and everything else. getting baptized
I don't know about you.
Challenging me because your fat man story is being released to the body of Christ to say if I can do it. You can.
I think the biggest tragedy that happens in church is that we made it we made it based on a system status is only certain people can. We made it an exclusive thing instead of an inclusive thing.
I took my stories with you because God is going to do the same things in your life. Now what you guys want to ask you if you want to tell you guys my secret. You guys ready? I'm going to let you into my secret.
Didn't want to tell you that.
Not one time. Did I feel God tell me to do any of that?
Not one time did I feel God move through me?
They were waiting for a Feeling. stuck on a Feeling
I'm in love with you.
Come on take. Thank you.
Thank you. Christian songs, but you guys you know, that's all you got your kids.
It's not a matter of what you feel, but I'm going to give you some it's not about what you feel. It's about what you know in the heart because God cuz you have been in God's word is word imparts faith to you because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God, but face Grows by doing and doing by the word of God in the Bible. That's something that God showed me. if faith comes by hearing the faith Grows by doing
how does your muscle grow? Everyone starts with the same level of muscle and my arms are only 20 in because I worked at it. And that exciting I'm carrying work on my thighs next you there'll be builders.
Yeah, I have your hockey pants. I'm already I already made up my heart that I'm going to get hockey pants and it's just
The reason why I like Julie, I'm just talkin plain to you guys. I'm talking place you guys because I want you to understand it's not a matter of how you feel. Do God is good on your bad day?
God is good even though you don't feel good.
God is still good. He's still on the throne. He still rules the rain and change what he said, you know, the problem is we misinterpret What God Says
I'd say he says this this message of the Kingdom must be preached to the end of the
What message is the message of the Kingdom? What's the message of the Kingdom?
Huh? What?
That's true. And he said this is when is Commission?
When you share your stories and testimonies, it is a launching pad for the kingdom of God to manifest in that moment.
So the last day I'm out. I'm in Philly and am I still in Philly? Maybe the Allentown I know it was in Bethlehem for a while.
My waitress, right?
and I said I get a strong sense from God that you would you like poetry and Lizard Lick on my gosh. I used to be an English major and that we would be in literature and all this stuff. How do you know this?
I have witnesses who were there? But I'm not making this stuff up, but didn't know if I'm making it up. I don't know about you.
You know what? I mean? Someone Hypes up like a burger and it's not good. You're expecting a good burger and when you bite into it taste like McDonald's.
I guess if you like McDonald's I'm telling you when I want a burger each other bills or JC's. And those are so mean Burgers JC has Angus beef. You know what that means because black like me.
You guys tried to hold that one? I don't know history.
I'm telling you when you I don't like typing stuff up because it's that's that's horrible. I want you guys to realize that this is the kingdom of God and this is what we're in right now. Just we're going to learn what the word says because dude if you don't know it you're going to be all loopy. You know what? I mean? Believe in every nonsense. It's out there. That isn't even in the Bible.
Like seriously I got these crystals. Because God me crystals and these crystals. I'm charging it with energy and my dude that's new age nonsense.
So we need to know what the word says so we can stay grounded in truth. Right how many people have electricity right? So use the three wires, don't you? You have a black wire or white wire and then a what wire? You said red? Could be red. Neutral Susie call the ground wire. What's the brown wire for?
juicy ground in it Yeah, thank you. You must know electricity a lot of a gosh.
I'm doing a lot of working my house. I'll call you.
Okay. What the one wire is just to keep everything grounded. Everything else has power. See your cold to stay grounded by being linked to the word. But just being grounded is no good if there's no power.
What's the point?
Do you know the people that Jesus offended the most? They were grounded, but they had no power.
Tell you what, the Torah says they can tell you about the prophet Isaiah. But when it came to power and it came to the kingdom of God, thank God offended because they couldn't understand Jesus.
Do you like well, that was Jesus? He's Jesus, but then you will get the Apostle's they got offended again.
You guys are going to do some great and remarkable things. That you don't even think you can do.
I don't know why we wait for heaven to live in the scripture where it says eyes have not seen ears have not heard nor has it entered into the hearts of man the things which the Lord has planned for those who love him.
You're the scripture before we all we always make it about heaven, don't we?
So where does heaven where's heaven at?
Also, it's supposed to be as it is in heaven on Earth. Where does God live?
Where's he live?
To want you look at your chest and say hi God. Yeah. He's in there.
I love it. Put God's in here.
But we can actually tap into the things of God. Become a conduit for his kingdom to flow through in a mighty way. We don't have to wait for a 8 a.m.
I looked at you guys in like you have to wait, but you don't have to wait dude for 10 people to agree with what God put in your heart.
Could you imagine if David would have waited for ten people to agree with him that he can kill Goliath?
What about Noah would have waited for ten people to agree with him that this is Daddy's going to flood?
We can go on through scripture. Maybe I'll buy a guy named Elijah who was a prophet.
But Kathy them which I want to share a story with you story time.
Commanded rain to stop he said rain will not rain until I say so.
arrogance write think about that today would say it's not going to rain until I say so.
Every church member will pick up a rock and throw it out of because why didn't he say snow?
So the dude says this Elijah does and he says no it's not going to rain till I say so. It doesn't rain. Did he says get ready for rain?
And then he gets in the birthing position praising God it rains.
What happens if we take the audacity of the Kingdom to say?
People are getting saved all around me because I say so.
Immediately. There's that religious wall that pops up in people's heads.
That wall says who are you? What makes you think you can say that? You're not God know I miss son. if you actually look at the word Ambassador, it means I stand in this nation with the authority from the nation I came from
Don't you guys came back with a friend?
He's about 10 ft tall. He Walks Behind Me
But think about that if you would actually believe that and you would say that and then you start living like that. I've been around you people start coming to Christ. Miracles are my everyday.
right, right, right girl the goodness of God follows You can't say that while the Bible's is surely your mercy and goodness. Shall follow me all the days of my what?
So is that arrogant from you say that or is that just me and saying I'm just going to believe it. That's what that says. A lot of times what we don't see God moving in our lives and on earth like she said is because we really don't believe it.
I migrated to click my heels together.
Belief is an action. But you delete it.
You came today, and it's so awesome to have you here.
I'm going to come back and pick out you in a little bit. Is that okay with you? Yes. cool
Thank you, and you are going to apologize for doing well. I I didn't know if it was okay. Thank you. Let's try that again.
This is going to be so cool.
My wife is in Nursery right now. the nursery pink hair kids
It's okay. It's okay. I'll sit by you is okay.
Hi, what's your name, Brielle?
That's my song.
Your father knows the way his children cry. So you're in Heavenly Father Knows Your cry? the real
first of all, thanks for coming. I'm excited that you're here. I wish my wife was up here, but she's not she's downstairs, but You were at Walmart right now. And this is where you met my wife. Okay, cuz you like sure that what was going on in your head at that moment. I don't like waiting for my wife said something to you. What were you doing? I was just waking up. So what have my wife just came up to you and then she walked away and then she came back when she came back. I'm like why she coming back? Like what what happened? What did I do wrong? You know cuz I work at Walmart so she came back and she was like I want is it okay if I share something with you and I was like, yeah sure and she was just saying like I just want you to let you know that God is looking looking at you when he sees what you're doing and stuff like that and I was just like Wow, because you know, I only been like asking. I like is there is there anything I'm is it? Okay when I'm doing I just need like I'm the type of person I want to actually hear God say something to me. I don't I don't want to I don't know. I just I can't just I don't know if leave I don't know. I don't know and I just felt like he sent her to me to give me you know soon as like a word or whatever. I don't know. It was like really nice because I never experienced. I always hurt other people, you know experience God and stuff and I never experienced. It was at Walmart and I just turned around.
I just buy that. It started cuz you were asking God to talk to me. You know, but if she won the Davis you want to turn around and said something to you about. You would feel like God's not listening to you. She knew me when I see her I said oh that's the lady that's always in the car with her kids are always seen him. I never seen her and I was like, that's the lady that's always in the car with her kids. She didn't know me, but I knew her you know, so it was just it was weird. It was like it was weird. I understand if it's not weird. Like I want to be honest God is I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, but did he freaks me out sometime?
Why is God he's all inspiring? Shock G. He's always willing to reveal an aspect of who he is. but from that
You started coming to you came to the woman's Bible study and I you visit us in a Sunday. That's cool.
Oh my goodness. We have to pray for you if you're okay with it because you called off of work. So we really want you to encounter Papa more. We all think you're so brave. Give her a Glock.
Thank you. Do you know it's it's that? I'm going to say a strong statement. How many people are like real? Have those questions that you have.
everyday everyday
how many people in their heart and God are you even there do you even care? If you cared, why don't you talk to me? Why don't you speak to me? Why don't you reveal yourself to me?
Yeah.
I said reading the scriptures.
one way do you know the scriptures are for believers?
think about things with you, but think about this when we guys I have chickens. And Jack's name one of them. quill porcupine
chicken the rooster's name is quill.
porcupine Because you said exotic rooster with feathers that stick out.
But guess what? I feed them. I feed my roosters chicken feed.
I don't feed them. Powell feed
have a cat. I found my cat dog food and I heard that wasn't good. So I don't do that anymore actually buy cat food and feed my cat cat food.
but I have a turtle to and I feed that turtle. turtle food No, we do not with animals naturally, but we don't feed the turtle cat food. And we don't feed the chickens turtle food.
The Bible is Christian food.
What's Christian food? the word of God
why? Would you give someone? Something that they had no ability to eat.
Teaching is so cool. simple
You wouldn't. the Bibles for us who believe for the unbeliever where the Bible they see.
No, yes, you can write a scripture in there. God gives you a scripture for them give it to them. But for the unbeliever, we are the Bible they see.
Four people were like God do you care? We are the Bible you say I don't believe you tap for the word of God tells me that you are a living epistle. Which means book.
And what did Paul write to the churches of pistols? Letters you are a living letter.
You guys are living legends.
But you are a living letter and if you would begin to open up your pages people would see Jesus.
This is what we're sharing these stories for the church is given to us to know his word and discuss his word and break his word down.
Yes.
Plan, you know if we don't plan we plan to fail and but we do have a plan for the problem is that when we we think that it has to be our plan, but when we plan to follow God. When we make that an intention to follow him and we plan to follow him and not our own plan then we succeed. Come on. Absolutely. I'm going to challenge you guys this week to make God your plan. We are going to hear more testimonies, but I want to challenge you this week. May God your plan.
I don't want you guys to step out. Clippers share the testimony and here already. I want you to step out and share with someone that you don't know.
kind of scary some people are like
I'mma tell you something. When I first started stepping out in faith. I was at a church and the pastor would preach he was a Pentecostal pastor, but he literally was so we have it all free Chi, you know.
Good people are going to know God is going to be by you.
Since I would be getting the stuff out fine, I'm going to do it God. And this is what I did. I would random walk up to you. Hey, I got some for you.
terrified I'm not going to tell you you're not going so afraid.
Huiclaims iety that's God say no when it's really God saying go.
How do you know how to do then?
Thumper from Bambi
so I tell you what when you have those two pills every time you feel uncomfortable do it. Cuz he's known as a comforter. When you're uncomfortable, that's a good Avenue that you're not going to trust in your ability and Sunday.
I shared my testimony to two different people.
I didn't plan that it just happened. There was no thinking about it. We just started. It was easy. There was nothing. How could I even begin to feel any any anxiety or fear of what somebody is going to think because there was no chance for that. It was it was it started in the group of people that just came out. It was a conversation with me at the time. I just started coming out of the faucet started running. That's God loves you and that stuff and where will Kelly and then I'm going to wrap it up. Take your time. People are waiting to be touched just like abrielle. Randy Marion just I just talked to her, you know, and I met tap like on the worst day of my life, which is another story, but he touched me so much it brought me back to God brought me back to church. The Catholic church. I think just just is so small, but can feel so much more time.
No, not at all.
Yes.
Yes.
I didn't come this way to the Lord, but
Someone might look at it and read it and they have like prayers at the beginning don't know what I'm going to say understand I said that is for believers to know. That's Christian food. So you're not eating that then we're getting weak.
But people are waiting there waiting for someone to put a Bible at a bedside. They're waiting for someone to say it kind of work till noon Walmart. They're waiting for someone to release the kingdom of God. And whose job is it?
Like if I'm not expecting Muslims to do it. I'm not expecting a fuse to do it. But by God, I'm going to expect Christians to do it. Oh, that's a little strong in that. But you're not weird if I take my car to a mechanic shop, what am I expecting them to do?
Fix the car, right?
God says I'm going to give you guys the gospel to change the world who's expecting to do it.
It's too much pressure. That's too much pressure.
Expecting us to do it. I believe in you drive your Gods a plan not be plan for heaven's best not God's worse even than Earth's worse, but your head is best.
and you guys can and we will see revive not we will Revival will manifest more Among Us than what it has.
Yay.

God is just showing me that and we woke up to this week to a different world then we the world is at war in Europe. And we saw you know, when the Christians in Ukraine are asking that we pray for them. Not that they would you know Prevail in this war but that we would that many people would come to know Jesus as their savior. That's what they're asking us to pray for. And I marveled at the courage of the Ukrainian people just ordinary folks like you and I who have stepped up and said we are going to stand against this aggression of the oven. Enemy that's coming against us. And so this is what I want to pray for us. That we would have courage to stand against the enemy who would want to come against us and crush us. Like Russia wants to crush the government and the people of Ukraine. So father I ask you. Do in Dallas with courage and power as we walk against the enemy who would seek to crush the kingdom of God and push it out of the world that we live in father. I pray that we would have a plan to have your plan. That we would everyday wake up. Willing to fight for whatever you have for us to follow your spirit. I pray that we you wouldn't do us with power from on high just as you did the apostles and those 120 and upper room. Father I pray that we would have the courage to stand. And be what you want us to be. Thank you father in Jesus name I pray.
Or guys, we do have a service at 5 p.m. Tonight on with Prophet John Mark for when his wife Sandy. However would love if you guys could call him. I mean they're fun. Give me a good fact.
