amen no matter what you go through jesus is able amen he's able we're going to look into the word of the lord just for a little while thank you praise team god bless you i said i wasn't going to wear these but i couldn't find my glasses so y'all just bear with me uh then my ipad started acting up so i guess it was just meant to be amen return with me to the book of saint matthews if you will just want to talk to you just a little while the 16th chapter of saint matthews asking you to pray continue to pray for sister bender myself amen the enemy tried to afflict us both amen a couple of days they could hardly walk but look at what god has done amen didn't know whether i was going to be able to be here yesterday but the lord touched my body and i'm grateful that's why i know he's the healer thank you jesus amen amen i'm always reminded of the scripture and say they were healed they may ask they win sometimes you got to keep moving to get your healing hallelujah tell somebody sometimes you got to keep moving you can't just sit there and roll over you got to keep moving my mind maybe i should have preached on that today i'll tell you what you gotta keep moving the bible says as they went they were healed amen bless the lord 16th verse out of saint matthew chapter 16. it reads then jesus said unto them take heed and beware of the leaven of the pharisees and of the sadducees all right saint matthew 16 verse 6 are you all with me okay all right y'all waiting in the spirit [Laughter] maybe i said it wrong okay all right [Laughter] you're probably right mother all right say matthew 16 verse 6 all right then jesus said unto them no one i wouldn't hear anything all right take heed and beware of the leaven of the pharisees and the sadducees and they reason among themselves saying is it because we have taken no bread when jesus perceived he said unto them o ye of little faith why reason ye among yourselves because you have brought no bread do you not yet understand neither remember the five lows and of the five thousand and how many baskets ye took up neither the seven lows and the four thousand and how many baskets she took up how is it that ye do not understand that i speak it not to you concerning bread that ye should beware of the leaven of the pharisees and of the sadducees then understood they how that he had made them not beware of the leaven of bread but of the doctrine of the pharisees and other sadducees when jesus came into the coast of caesarea philippi he asked his disciples saying whom do men say that i the son of man am and they said some say that thou art john the baptist some elias and others jeremiah or one of the prophets he said unto them but whom say ye that i am and simon peter answered and said on and said thou art the christ the son of the living god and jesus answered and said unto him blessed art thou simon by jonah for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto thee but my father which is in heaven and i say unto thee that thou art peter and upon this rock i will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it and i will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven father thank you for your word thank you for your people today we thank you o god for all the blessings that you have restored in this house we thank you oh god for your presence now lord we ask you to speak to us and help us to hear what you have to say to the church for we need you now as never before give us your spirit oh god that lord that when whoever would hear your word oh god will take notice and consider themselves and help us oh god to walk according to your ways we bless you for it in jesus name amen you may be seated we thank god for that word that has been delivered today in scripture i almost have to call our church reader about to call dick and barnes to come read it for me amen all right but thank god we uh struggled on through that i'd like to just talk to us today uh from the subject kingdom mindedness kingdom mindedness so the christian christian even tapped on it a little bit this morning when she said being christian or being kingdom minded in this these particular scriptures and i won't belong today i just want to just kind of just make us aware of who we are we talk about being kingdom minded because the enemy the devil is always trying to get us to be otherwise minded so the reason in how he does it he tries to keep us always only aware on flesh or on earthly things he tried to keep us in a place where we could only recognize and look at while things are going on in the affairs of our lives here and try to distract us from thinking about the fact that we cannot stay here and so he uses all his gimmicks to try to get you think about who likes you who doesn't where you live and where you don't what you have and what you don't have what you wear and what you can't wear about the political arenas who's treating you right who's treating you wrong not that these things does not matter they do but they not should but they should not be at the pres at the very top of your life amen because we do realize at some point all of these things are going to fade away and so we must understand as we look into we see romans tells us about walking in the spirit and not in the flesh because when we walk according to the flesh amen the scripture that says we mine the things of the flesh and we don't mind the things of the spirit and so the enemy is always trying to trick us and get us all centered and to make us forget what god is doing for us he tries his best to get you to always forget that god has already been good to you but god is good to you today and if we got to hold on because god is going to be good tomorrow and so when we understand that amen let me tell you put like this way the devil's not really that concerned about amen the past things because he knows if we only focus on the past and then we're soon going to fade away that's why amen church and coming to church and bible study and and and whatever i was about to say saints meeting amen but whatever because all of them are still a part of that sunday school and everything it's perpetual you can't say i came and because the things that are going on now are still still continuing and so you can't go on what you knew about god you got to keep moving so that you can keep something fresh in your mind about god amen and so now you can't just say well i i used to be i used to come to sunday school i used to get the word amen but now because you never graduate from having the word of god and so because you can't say let me put it in a natural form you can't say because you bought groceries last month that you're not going to need some groceries this month uh-huh so you got to understand we need god every day and and since i said it it has to be perpetual in our lives amen we must constantly study and seek after the mind and will of god not based upon just what you get today you're going to need something new tomorrow and the lamentation says his mercies are new every morning because you need a new set of mercies and number one you get mercies when you woke up that was a brand new set and so we ought to be thankful to god for what he's doing in our lives we shouldn't come to church just for entertainment purposes every time we show up it'll be something that strives us to want to be closer to god today than we were yesterday i thought our best just take my time and tells us that we need more of god more of god and so i'm saying to us we're in dangerous times and it's easy to get off center and it's easy to forget what god is doing and has done for us in the text it opens today amen in verse number one of saint matthew 16 the bible says that it was the pharisees and the sadducees that two enemies who have now collided together to try to stop jesus you know enemies will come together to stop the saints if they can amen folk that don't even like each other they'll come together to try to stop you from walking with god so the pharisees and the sadducees were very different types and styles of groups one group believed in their in the resurrection in a resurrection and the other didn't one group believed in angels and the other didn't one group had a good relationship with the people and the other group had a great a politician a relationship so now they're there deciding let's put our differences aside so that we can go after jesus he's doing damage to our kingdom we're feeling a little shaky because of him so let's make some words and try to stop him try to trick him in some kind of way let's use something to say to him that if we could get him off on one point we can have him like we want him so they brought up this one questionnaire and i might need you deacon barnes to come over and talk to me a little bit in this all right so they bring up then they said they asked him a question tempting desiring him that he would show them a sign be careful when you want to see a sign because most of the times when we're looking after a sign we're going after the wrong side you see there are differences in signs and distractions even in our world now when we drive down the street there are signs that are there to help but there are also signs that are distractions they're not there to help they're there to advertise they're they're there to try to show something and many of the times we we get more caught up in the signs of distraction than we do of the signs that we should guard to save our lives and then we put more value on certain signs than than than others because some signs would tell you to yield some signs though would tell you complete to make a complete stop sometimes will tell you to turn and sometimes we vaguely see those signs and sometimes that we don't seem to care about much is a sign that tells you you were driving too fast trying to tell you you need to do you want a 40 mile lane while you're driving 80 y'all help me and so you got to understand those signs really don't mean anything to us until something happens then we realize we should have taken notice of the signs all the time as a matter of fact because there are some signs say stop but because we slowed down we thought that was just good enough it sounds like sin because when we think about sin that happens in life some folks think when god says stop that that he just mean don't do it as much oh you need to not try to think about it as much but i came to tell you that we must learn that when god gives a direct order of a sign to us he means what he says so they tried to trick him about a sign but jesus understood what they were trying to do it's amazing you already messed up when you think you can trick god hallelujah but so many people think that they can trick god they try to trick him by their personality they try to trick him because of what they have in education what they say god i know what you're saying but what you really mean is this and no no no god says no what i really mean is what i said and so so many times people will go on and do what they want to do based upon their own interpretation if the sign says stop that's the only interpretation there is about it you can't go any further you have to stop and the reason the stop sign is there is because something can happen that causes you to lose your life or someone else's life so you must learn when he says stop he means it because there may be a life on the line you can't wait until something does happen to decide i should have i should have slowed down i should have stopped you got to obey it according to get it in your mind that when you get to this point he says stop and he means what he says hallelujah so now he said i know you're asking for a sign but no sign today other than what jonas did way back in the book of jonah he says i want you to see it because you're trying to give a sign about something that you don't even care about you asking about signs about jesus coming signs about what's going to happen what i'm trying to tell you you don't even want to know because if you really wanted to know you go ahead and start making some changes some folk act like they come to church for the right reason but if you're not willing to to make some changes then you don't really i'll know why you're coming because if you come just for the music if you come just because she's friends if you come just for entertainment if you come just so we can see your new suit we saw it but that doesn't mean much because one day it's going to get old and one day you're not going to be as important as you think you are so you better go uh trollo follow what jesus is saying he told them that one day while you were talking i see what you're saying he says you this is what you do you can discern some things read for me verse 2 he answered and said unto them when it is evening ye say it will be fair weather for the sky is red and in the morning it will be fall weather today for the sky is red and luring all you hypocrites hypocrites you can discern the face of the sky but can you not discern the signs of the time you can discern the sky you already know what you're asking me for you asking me for something that you're not even caring about and so you can discern the time the weather you can discern when it looks like rain you can even discern when it looks like cold weather is coming in and so now they didn't have we've got all this equipment that people use now they only use their minds right but he says you cannot discern the signs of the time of the times brothers and sisters i'm trying to tell us it is now time high time for us to start looking at the signs that around us we've gotten comfortable and we've settled in with a corona corona was not for you to settle in corona was for you to understand the signs of the time we've gotten used to murders and and killings in the street and all we say is but oh that's not how we should look at it we should look at it because god says that remember the days of noah they were they were married and given in marriage but not only that they were wicked they were killing and every man did what was right in his own eyes you need to look at the signs he says i need you to see it the signs now when we move further jesus gets his disciples he says we're going but he says to them before while he's getting to go he said beware of the leaven of the pharisees and the sadducees they don't normally be lumped together right but now they have made their forces bind their forces together right beware of them beware of the leaven their swelling beware that they are they're baking themselves they're growing up beware of their living and so they've been with jesus all this time and they say in their minds they say he must be telling us about the pharisees and the sadducees because we forgot to bring bread we should have brought bread but we didn't bread represents the word of god but now too many times you see they've been latched about bread jesus preceded their thoughts he knew what they were thinking and so he was disappointed scripture doesn't say it but you could tell in the writing that jesus was disappointed you think that i'm telling you this because you forgot to bring bread he says let's look back remember before when you didn't have bread and got miraculously used little boy's lunch that's right and fed 5 000 not including women and children and when he fed them that's a miracle in itself but that wasn't the greatest miracle the greater miracle was that after i fed them we had 12 baskets of fragments left that's a miracle then he says remember the four thousand at another time you didn't have bread you keep forgetting the word because the word brothers and sisters has to be important enough to us to remember to have it because the word is our lifeline because the word is god he is his word you forget the word you've forgotten god if you stop caring about the word you stop caring about god amen if the words if the if the word stop being important to you that means god is not important he says the four thousand how many baskets were left after we fed the four thousand seven they had seven thousand baskets left seven baskets seven baskets left thank you and after feeding the fourth house then he says and you think i'm talking about bread you leaving bread i'm trying to give to you a greater principle because we have gotten too relaxed on things that god is saying moving in the wrong direction the church of god is not an entertainment center bishop yes sir church of god we come to get more of god amen that's what we should be striving lord i want more more of you more of you and so when we get a read from verse six where i'll start it in the text again verse six then jesus said unto them take heed take heed and beware and beware of the leaven of the pharisees take heed and beware now in order he's saying that you are not even being aware you're not even looking at that but i need you to look at that take heed and beware of the leaven of the pharisee and of the sadducees and they reason among themselves saying is it because we have taken no bread which when jesus perceived he said unto them all ye a little faith oh ye of little faith why reason ye among yourselves because you have brought no bread do you not yet understand neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up neither the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many bastards he took up how is it that ye do not understand that i speak it not to you concerning bread that you should beware of the leaven of the pharisees and of the sadducees because if it's of that bread i could give you that any time anytime i could just i could just speak one word and bread shows up you remember amanda that's right i gave manna when there was nothing in this in the desert i brought manna i'm i'm able to bring bread in the natural but what i need you to look at is kingdom you're looking at natural but i'm ready for you now church of the living god to start looking at kingdom building amen read verse 12 then understood they how that he made them not beware of the leaven of bread but of the doctrine of the pharisees and of the sadducees the doctrine of the pharisees and sadducees is what we've got to be careful because the doctrine of the pharisees and sadducees is against the doctrine of god and anytime we're following after something that god is not in we're in the wrong direction and so he's helping us to understand he's to be careful of the doctrine of the pharisees and sadducees and there are many that was in the church who are now going after the doctrine of pharisees and sadducees and god is saying to us we got to turn around because it's kingdom time you're going after something that i am against you're going after something that i'm cursing and you're going after something that i'm not in jesus speak lord yes lord it's your time to turn the church time to turn and not just go after things that god is not in you got to change your mind from being fleshless thinking unto spiritual mindedness because as long as we go after the flesh we'll never please god that's right we'll never serve him right we must go after him in order to be able to recognize what he wants for our lives there are so many people that are messed up now because that they used to be they used to be in the church they used to walk with god but now because of the flesh that they've gone after and the devil wants you so far out till you think you're right most of the folk go out there knowing they're wrong but then after so long the devil will make you think it's okay for me to be this way it's okay for me to do what i'm doing it's okay for me to keep sinning and come back and say i just sing a song and i feel pretty good no no sir and i'm all right it's okay let's check up it's okay for me to love men and women it's okay but the devil is a liar the church of god should not be caught up in the world system [Music] should not be caught up in the world's system we get so enamored sometimes just being able to shout but what good is that shout if we're going to live what we shout amen amen please bishop he says to them he took them to help them to know now you're doing it wrong you're going after the wrong thing you're not recognizing what i've given to you to recognize i want you to see that the things you're talking about stuff i could give you stuff any day right i'm not against stuff i can give you that anytime but i want you to want me more than stuff i want you to want to serve me more than stuff i want you to recognize that the stuff that is coming amen don't let it take you you can have the stuff i said this in bible study you can have stuff but don't let stuff have you so he's saying to us we have to recognize and change our mind so then he says okay now he took them to on the coast cesarea philippi and he asked them the question [Music] what is the word on the street about who i am what do people say amen he was not asking them because he was valuing people's opinion right he asked them that because the goal is to change people's hearts and i got to see how far people are off so i know how to change and deal with men's hearts because if you go around and act like you got it together you can fool some folk but i need to know the real you so i know how to diagnose your case ain't no need to go into the hospital and your stomach is hurting you at all and you're about to bend over and you get to the hospital and decide i need to straighten up so i can look good i can't diagnose your case unless i know what's wrong with you what do they say when jesus came into the coast of caesarea philippi he asked his disciples saying what do you say whom do men say that i the son of man who do men say i am the son of man who do men say i the son of man am [Music] that was important that's right he put that in because i need them to know to ask who do they think and see me as being the son of man read and they said said some say that thou are john the baptist some elij and others jeremiahs are one of the prophets he said unto them but whom say ye that i am but who do you say i hear and i wanted to know what they said not that that it mattered that much but i need to know who the church who you the people of god what y'all think about me how do y'all see me how do y'all view me am i just a genie in the bottle to y'all am i just somebody as a spare tie to you am i just an entertainment center to you am i just somebody that you can call on amen to pull out a bible every other month to you i'm not just somebody that you can just look at me and say well it's good to hang around him what do you say who do you you supposed to know me you've been with me i've been teaching you i've been praying for you i've been praying with you i've been keeping you i've been showing you i've been demonstrating myself to you [Applause] i've been more than you i've been trying to show you i've been taking up time with you i've been going without food for you i've been having sleepless nights in the mountains praying for you yes yes yes but if i can't tell no difference from you and them what good is it the fault that i'm molding you to change you're still trying to be just like them i'm trying to make you so that you can change the world i put you in the world to change the world i brought you so that you can show calamities their transgressions they'll mess up but you who do you say and all of them just look because you're supposed to know something about me right right all this time you've been with me you should know something about me you still quit coming to church because folk talk about you you should know me better than that yes yes you're still playing the games and doing the same old stuff you ought to know me better by now you're still worrying and scared over something of reports you heard when you ought to know me by now you ought to know i'm a healer you ought to know i'm a savior you ought to know i'm a keeper you ought to know i'm a deliverer [Applause] wow why why are you all silent that's the question look like every the chatter all of you should have been talking at the same time don't have to choose oh hold on don't you hustle tell us hold up hold on let me hear what he's saying but the bible says nobody said nothing until peter spoke up peter says thou art the christ the son of the living god hallelujah in other words i see you i've been observing you there been times you have to tell me to shut up but i still been watching huh you hurt my feelings but i'm right here god glory to god sometimes at the white tears away because i spoke out of turn and you have to quiet me but i'm right here it wasn't because i was trying to be somebody i wanted to know you i want to know you i want to know everything i can know about you even when i do it wrong help me lord i want to get it better [Music] he's just trying to see myself i want to see you [Music] some folk judge me wrong because they think look at peter he won't be quiet every time every time sums up he's always the first to say something it's because it's not that peter was trying to be besides himself it was in peter if i'm going to be in it i want to know it all the way if i'm going to be in it i want to know what you're saying to me if we gonna be in the church we might as well be all the way you might as well get all you can get you might as well give god your very best [Applause] you have to get like peter i don't care what you say i don't care what you think of me i don't care how y'all feel about me i'm with him he's for me i've seen his work i've seen him do things that i've seen and care about me i've seen him healed the sick i've seen him open die blinded eyes i've seen embraced dead men don't tell me i'm going to say something you all can see it quiet if you want to i'm going to say something because he loves me enough that if i say it wrong he'll get me right [Applause] i ain't going nowhere you can't run me out of church hallelujah if my suit don't look right too bad hallelujah if my grandma's tore up too bad if i don't make money like you make it too bad i'm with jesus he's with me [Applause] i don't know nothing else i know he loves me i know he cares for me i know he takes care of me i know he's the miracle worker i know how jacked up i was but the lord came hallelujah i was tore up in sin but here comes jesus and he came and looked beyond my fault and saw my knee he looked beyond my fault and got my faults right but my sin i had to bring it to him so he could wash it away can nobody do me like jesus nobody nobody [Music] [Applause] [Music] jesus said you're right simon he says simon simon's vagina flesh and blood has not revealed this unto you you didn't get this off the streets i already asked you what they say on the streets hallelujah you didn't get this hallelujah from education i know your background you didn't get this from asking your mom and them you have to know this for yourself you've been with me you've been watching me you've been looking at me you've been observing me and something in you has saw what's been working and you say out the christ the son of the living god i know you i don't know everything i need to know but i know enough about you to realize i'm gonna follow you [Applause] peter hallelujah hallelujah because of who and what you said it makes a difference when i know how you feel about me saints it makes a difference when god knows how you feel about him because how you feel about him is what you're going to do about him some folks say lord i love you but my actions don't change right cause i don't work with that some folk will run all over the church and they'll run over you if you don't hurt me get out of the way some folk will speak in tongues all service but won't speak to you in english later some folk love to be seen given giving on tv but they won't give their brothers and sisters a piece of bread but i came to tell somebody that i peter said not so lord i came to know you i want to know you hallelujah like you want me to know you and so what i've seen so far in you i have learned everything i need to know about you but i made it up in my mind i'm going to stay with you i'm going to follow you everywhere you go i'm going i'm going because i know there's more for me to learn i'm going to stay with you no matter what comes off cause i'm going to [Music] stay so when pitfalls come [Music] and i get into a bad place i don't know what's coming but i do know there's some things in me that ain't got right yet but i'm gonna stay with you i'm going with you so that you will remember me so when that day came when it got real sticky and got real discouraging and i got real scared right yes because you were by yourself and then everybody walks away and then they came and asked me because i i hadn't been filled with the holy ghost yet but now i got scared and i told the girl i don't know when they asked me again i don't know hallelujah but you were so good to me you told me before i even did it you told me what i was going to do i didn't believe you because i thought i knew enough about you that i wouldn't turn my back but i had fear still working in me but god says i'm so much god when i fill you with the holy ghost fear have to drop off you and so when that they tell me that when god when philip when peter was about to die and they wanted to hang him up he said not so that's the way my lord was hung turn me upside down i'm ready because i got power now i got more message than i got time blessing jesus thank you he says blessed are thou simon but jonah flesh and blood has not revealed this unto you but my father which is in heaven which is in heaven keep reading it and i say also unto thee this is what i say also to you that thou art peter listen now because of just that much of you knowing me or wanting to know me or speaking on my behalf hallelujah and because of that thou art a peter peter and upon this ride upon this rock i will build my church i will build my church and the gates of heaven and the gates of hell shall not prevail against you peter you are not the rock you're the small stone but the rock i'm building on hallelujah is really myself and when because you follow me because you want to know me because you spoke up now you'll speak up later ah you spoke up then on your own but we're in the day of pentecost i chose you to be the spokesman for the church when i start my church on this rock i build my church and peter you will be the one not because you're the most educated not because you know the most but because you're willing to let me use you you'll get up and say men and brethren when they say it you'll tell them to repent [Music] because you're thinking now with the kingdom mindset you're building you're standing established i ablate the foundation and you all can just step on it and keep the church moving but we cannot do it if we only look at being fleshly thinking and fleshly minded we got to make sure that everything else comes secondary to the will and the purpose of god because we have to have a spiritual mindset because if we're going to please him [Music] we cannot just go our own way and use the bible as something we interpret interpret for ourselves and not allow god to have and give to us what his word would have for us i'm not finished i'm just trying to land somewhere in the field so i want to just say this there's so much more here to be discovered don't get distracted by signs if you're going to follow the sun follow the right signs don't follow distracting signs don't follow things that means nothing immaterial what does it matter who doesn't like you what does it matter what people feel the whole goal is to get saved to be saved i've been teaching in bible study you should catch on that's just my first bible study three about three months but if you haven't watched i want you to get it because we're going to be dealing with this because the people that we are calling the enemies not the enemy there are no people your enemy there is no race problem there is a sin problem but if we separate it people do racist things yes they do don't get me wrong but if we separate it as a race problem our mindsets will change against certain races you have to understand it's not the race it's the problem the sin is the problem know your adversary i need you to catch on if you haven't watched any bible studies before watch because i got a few things to say and i'm gonna miss one of the week but i'm coming back to it but i need you to know we've been fighting the wrong things you can't fight your brothers and sisters you got to fight the devil the devil [Applause] we can't live in fear or doubt we got to fight the devil that's our real enemy god would want everybody to be saved says that work that everyone will say would be saved it is my desire that everybody number one brothers and sisters we must be the light if we're not gonna walk in the light how we gonna show the way to somebody who's living in darkness i encourage you today to walk in the light as he is the light come on preachers there we got a few out today but [Music] we gotta walk in the kingdom mindset kingdom mindedness thank you sir as long as we think about just us just what's happening for me or what's not happening for me we'll never let what happens that god wants to happen reign in our lives i need somebody to get up now you've been walking in the wrong direction some folk have been walking any direction just standing still standing still i know we talk about standing still like you know that sometimes you may have to stand here for a moment but you need to hurry up and get moving forward again because standing still is not enough jesus has come [Music] come come [Music] if you weren't this world is for you today because you get [Music] couldn't imagine [Music] if god wasn't right here with me oh somebody today need to be baptized in jesus name god has given you a repented heart and you don't know what to do with it but i'm telling you you need to keep moving you need to keep moving come on come on come on come on get that right everything that god has for you you want it right come come [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you are the joy of salvation you're the peace in my storm the loving arms protect me [Music] the beginning [Music] and the end my strong tower my dearest and desperate [Music] about me [Music] i couldn't imagine i had to walk all by myself i couldn't think about it she said i love you i love you yeah [Music] [Music] jesus [Music] you didn't forget about me thank you jesus when i go in the wrong direction you you did you did it you helped me through it [Music] and nobody do me like you did [Music] [Music] the wrong place but look what you did you came to my [Music] you rescue you know [Music] i love you [Music] he's waiting for you he's waiting for you she's waiting for you [Music] in your i love you [Music] [Music] somebody else somebody else he's been waiting [Music] i love you hallelujah [Music] [Music] i love you i love you i love you [Music] yeah yeah yeah i love you help me [Music] the lover of my soul [Music] [Music] i [Music] i could call you [Music] [Applause] he's waiting he loves your [Applause] [Music] a kingdom mindedness [Music] we won't win the war [Music] the goal is to go back with jesus when he comes we don't want to get so caught up with the things around us till we become desensitized to all the things that are happening don't bother us no more murders every day don't bother abortions don't bother us hope leaving the church going into false doctrine don't bother us oh that's just the sign of the time we have to have the kingdom-mindedness we need to be bothered about something [Music] what do we do because we are bothered [Music] we have a mission statement that starts with prayer [Music] everything that we're going to change has to start with a prayer life just give prayer yeah i'd rather shout and pray no no no brothers and sisters whether you are in the 5 a.m prayers 6 p.m prayers 12 noon prayers we need to be praying we need to be praying you need to fight see doing prayer is not just it's something that we do extra prayer is not extra you need to go out of your way to pray if i have time i'll pray no no no prayer need to be there if you have times up something else [Music] and not just pray with a sincere prayer [Music] you get no points just because you show up but you need to show up when you come to show up [Music] the sensual favorite prayer trying to help us today we got to get it back in the prayers the more prayer you get the more direction you get [Music] when we lose our prayer life we get direction from from the enemy and he's always going to give you something fleshy [Music] he'll give you all the words to tell him off he'll give you every word you need to have you tell him this this this and this [Music] and he'll love it and when you're finished he'll say i thought you were saved god bless you god bless you it's our time saints we need to be the church that stands up [Music] tell the people the dying world that's lost you don't have to stay lost how why why are you concerned i used to be lost but jesus came changed my mind you too can be that one you're waiting for me mom praise the lord we are so happy that you decided to worship with us today we pray that there was a song a smiling face or something
