the words of our leader when she said that a praise just feels better that when you're going through your situation when you got some things that's before you that you don't know what to do sometimes the mountain does not move but a praise just feels a little bit better sometimes we have to understand that god in his sovereignty decides to do what he wants to do how he wants to do and when he wants to do it my question is would god decide to be god will you still have a praise will you say for this i trust you for this i praise you i just need a few folks that don't mind saying no he slay me yet will i trust in the lord [Music] if this is what i need oftentimes folks need somebody to coach them into praising the lord is there anybody in here that will help me give strength to our

mother mother's little form hey [Music] oh business y'all gotta excuse us just for a little bit [Applause] y'all got to excuse us just for a little bit but the enemy tried it but the bible said to be absent from the body means to be brother with the law and y'all y'all come to excuse me but what a saint does we don't just go ahead and cry but we celebrate because we know that we got a home up in glory that wins northern vessel leaves this place i got a home i'll be in glory i got a home i got a home up in glory [Music] i got a building that's not made in my head so while we may be crying we celebrated that god decided then it was time for him to call him house [Music] we gotta go [Music] hallelujah come on put your hands together and clap your hands hallelujah [Music] and that's one of the things that we always learned growing up in christendom that when a saint dies yes it may hurt yes we may cry but we can reap tears of joy knowing that the almighty has grabbed him has got him in his bosom hallelujah you know we just say that scripture time at the time but when the saint dies i i don't know if we access each scripture correctly that ain't for me to do right now but when a saint dies we can say factually to be absent from the body means to be present with the lord what does that mean no more suffering no more crying no more heartache no more pain no more chemo no more doctors saying this no more doctors say that but i got a chance to have a body a body where i take off corruptable and put on immortality in a twinkling of an eye where the angels are going back and forth saying holy holy holy your deacon just went to join the service that's already in progress since the angels are already up there saying holy is our god deacon got a chance to go up and say holy

bishop for coming and giving us strength and showing support hallelujah we got a lot to go we got a lot to go hallelujah but anytime anytime that you feel the spirit of the lord hallelujah and you feel him we do give you permission in the abundant life family worship center to give god what he is do hallelujah for just on this week not only just our first family and that yes not only just our first family but many of us are dealing with situation after situation after situation hallelujah but we serve a god that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask to think what are you trying to say over that late in the midnight hour that god can dry your tears god can minister to you like nobody else can and often times we ask the lord why and god just says that no he's built us as they say four tough but he has built us and he has equipped us to deal with our situations and life circumstances so as pastor has been preaching in this place and i'm about to hand the mic over to bishop wallace but pastor has been preaching in this place to bend but don't break and i will not break and so you got to know that the enemy were trying to touch the first family and the leadership of the house but is there anybody in the house today that although you may be going through something in your life that you are determined that if you bend a little bit that you're not gonna break that if you have to sway to the left or to the right that you're not gonna break that if you almost turn and you almost hit the ground that when you get back up that you have a mind sign that says on christ the solid rock i stand all of the ground is sacred said come on look at your neighbor and say neighbor i will not break i will not break [Applause] [Music] [Music] and that should be the sentiment of all of our hearts today that when we deal with adversity and when we have opposition that our minds are made up that we're going to give him the glory anyway smiling somebody telling you all to praise him anyhow [Music] i won't stand long can't stay long just came to walk in this place let this woman of god know let mama rita know and let abundant life know you're not going through this by yourself if the devil messes with any one of us he's got to deal with every one of us we're in this together and so i've come simply to join my anointing with your anointing and tell the devil we're going to praise him anyhow god still gets the glory and i'm so blessed when i walk through the door to hear the praises of zion the psalmist that i will bless the lord at all times and his praises shall continually be in my mouth i've got to bless him in the good times but discipline says i'll praise him in the bad times i'm in all time praising i'm blessed to see a mature praise in the house i just came to join my praise with yours to tell you we've got to praise him anyhow deacon slash minister coley boone has gone on to be with the lord but if i don't know anything else about him not only was he concerned about the welfare of the saints over at inner court he was known for opening doors and escorting the saints into the building and he did his job come rain or shine but beyond all of that he was appraiser unorthodox but appraiser i can still see his suit jacket waving in the wind while he was giving god the glory i i just came just can't listen never let pastor never let pastor dance and somebody don't get in there and dance with her lord help me 30 seconds 30 seconds i'mma move but cody boone was a praise and what we do to celebrate him is to give god some praise he went on before us he's in that cloud of witnesses waiting on us to get there so we oh god because of his legacy we owe god a praise i got to move with somebody real quick find the praise come on send up a praise for deacon slash minister holy bones i just came to join my praise with your praise lord help me bad news and all [Music] oh yes yes i dare you to find somebody i dare

act that you all will pray for me as i go before the lord when i was asked invited to come and minister i was very excited and i said yes yes i will come and i will minister um but even though i was excited i was a bit nervous it was kind of an uncomfortable sensation that started happening in the pit of my belly and i said okay lord i said yes but lord god i need you to give me a word for the people and i thought about all of the times that the lord has blessed alf i thought about from when alf started until where you guys are now and i remember when pastor t first told me about win wednesdays and as she was telling me about when wednesdays i said oh my god i'm excited and i was pregnant i was about seven or eight months pregnant when she first told me and i said well lord i'm going to be on maternity leave then but i knew i had to be and when wednesdays i knew i had to be up under it because i felt in my spirit that god was going to do something i said lord i felt like there was going to be a shift and i needed to cut my maternity leave just a bit short so that i can be there and every experience that i have had with alf from when wednesdays to the times that i've come here um and been a part of a service to the times that i'm watching you guys virtually you guys get me amped up while i'm driving to church um and even to events that alf has had it has always been a blessing to me so i want to thank god for you i want to thank god for you always being a blessing to myself to my family um as well as to the body of christ so i thank god for that and if you all have your word if you would turn with me to philippians chapter 3 [Music] uh verses 13 through 16. uh with the key verse being verse 14 and 16 and brother oma omar elder omar um i think this is just a reprise because you've already preached my message so um i'm not going to say anything different but brother omar have already set up for me so i'm just going to come and encourage you all but if you have your word and it reads as thus the king james version reaches us brethren i count not myself to have apprehended but this one thing i do forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before i press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of god in christ jesus let us therefore as many as be perfect be thus minded and if anything ye be otherwise minded god shall reveal even this unto you nevertheless where to we have already attained let us walk by the same rule let us mine the same thing and that is the reading of the word in the king james version and again the key verse verse 14 i press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of god in christ jesus and if you would go with me in a word of prayer father god i come before you lord just to say thank you lord god i thank you lord god just for the space in this opportunity god i thank you lord god for your very presence oh god that i feel in this place god i thank you for your holy spirit oh god i thank you god for your presence that is here oh god and lord god i ask right now that you would remove mario god remove me out of the way god and you have your way o god in the name of jesus god i pray oh god that you would speak through me o god allow your word to come forth oh god in the mighty name of jesus god on today i pray that someone would hear your word oh god and that someone would be encouraged oh god and that someone would be strengthened but most importantly god i pray that you would get all the glory oh god because it all belongs to you god it doesn't belong to me it doesn't belong to anyone else but it all belongs to you so god right now and i say thank you god i say thank you in advance for what you're going to do god and how you're going to move oh god and lord i give you the glory i give you the honor and i give you the praise in jesus name i pray and my soul says thank you lord in jesus name amen amen and before i go further i do want to thank god for our missionary pearl who is coming to serve with me today and i thank god for our minister nala and for the praise team minister erica i swear every time i see them girls i am so touched i am so so touched because you can truly see the ministry in them it's not just about a dance but it is about true ministry so i thank god for you i thank god for our little minister nala every time i see the dances they truly minister to me so dances keep going that is your ministry that is your gift use it to god's glory in the name of jesus so we went through the text of philippians chapter three we went through the text and i read the king james version and as i was studying i went to different translations and i just wanted to have a clearer understanding and one that stood out to me was from the message translation and the message translation says it like this i'm not saying that i have this all together that i have made it but i am well on my way reaching out for christ who has so wondrously reached out for me thank god for that he reached out for me first friends don't get me wrong by no means do i count myself an expert in all of this but i've got my eye on the goal where god is beckoning us onward to jesus i'm off and i'm running and i'm not turning back and when i read that i said oh god i thank you because it's not just about what we are doing but it's about what god is expecting us to do he's not expecting us to be concerned about what we're going through right now but he's expecting us to keep our eyes on the prize so i thank god for that he's expecting us to trust him and to trust him all the way so verse 15 and 16 says so let's keep focused on that goal those of us who want everything god has for us if any of you have something else in mind something less than total commitment god will clear your blurred vision you'll see it yet and verse 16 says noun that we're on the right track let's stay on it so on today i want to leave a bit of encouragement to you and i want to encourage you to go all the way go all the way so here in the book of philippians we find the apostle paul and he's writing a letter to the church of philippi now if you did some research you would know that at this point paul is sitting in jail while he's writing this letter and paul is noted as one of the greatest testimonies of what the power of god can do when you totally submit yourself to his will paul who was formerly known as saul was noted as a very dedicated man he was a man of some type of prestige he was a man who was dedicated to the traditions of his people and their law he was committed to stopping and even killing those who spoke against his religion or who went against the law so much so that the disciples even feared him a little bit however there is nothing and no one that can stand against the power of god so one day while paul was going on and he was going about his journey looking to destroy or stop those that were speaking against his law speaking against his religion he had an experience so how many of you have had an experience i know that i have along my way of life i thought i knew everything but i didn't and it wasn't until i had an experience with god that i realized yeah i need to go just a little bit further this experience for paul led to the salvation and the total transformation of him at that point his name was saul but we know that when we go through a transformation god will change our names and ten years ago elder omar he changed my name to green so i'm no longer a campbell god has changed my name hallelujah that's just a sidebar he has changed my name but in return saul who now becomes paul began serving god with all his might paul began going to and from preaching the gospel he said i got to spread this gospel i got to let the whole world know about this god i got to let the whole world know about jesus christ he went trying to encourage others to follow god just as he was he became he came across a lot of uh different obstacles while he was going and if you would think about your life while you were walking about while you were trying to find yourself and going about and trying to develop your relationship with christ when you first accepted god there might have been some side eyes that you received uh there might have been somebody who said wasn't you the one who said yeah let's go ahead and do this and do that just like paul when he first accepted jesus christ people said wait wasn't you the one that persecuted the christians now you're trying to say you want to be one of them he also found some people that were on the other hand said oh i want to know about this jesus too but then there were some people who said okay so now you're going to go against tradition now you're going to step out of what we said that you should be now you're gonna go against what i said or what people or society says that you can do okay so since you're gonna go against what the norm is for society we're gonna kill you we're gonna beat you we're gonna arrest you there were people who threatened his very life because he stood on the promises of god and because he chose to follow after god paul was so focused at that point of making amends to god that he tried to be the best christian he could be he said the way that i know to get through this relationship the way that i know to do what god wants me to do is i have to be the best christian in the land however god cannot be won over by our deeds the bible tells us that we are not sufficient of ourselves to think anything of ourselves but our sufficiency is of god however every opportunity that paul had he would preach to the preacher gospel to anybody who would listen to him and as a result of this newfound dedication paul came to a situation he came to a situation where he said wait there is something that is missing and even as you're going about your relationship you might have found yourself in those same situation where you said wait i know that i said it i accepted god i know that i said yes but there's still something that is missing you've got to go all the way see there comes a place in our lives where we get to a point and we say wait it's not just about coming to church it's not just about doing the deeds but it's about submitting our very soul our very being to the power of god that he might work in us yes you want to go to church yes you're going to do the accent within the community but it's about submitting to god paul was so determined to do that he forgot that it is by grace that we are saved through faith and this is not of ourselves but it is a gift from god so that no man can boast there is nothing that we can do that would win god but it is simply because of god's grace and because of god's mercy that we are here today it is simply because of his love for us it is simply because of the fact that he called and chosen each and every one of us knowing what our past would have been knowing all the things that we would do knowing all the mistakes that we would make he still chose us so because god has chose each and every one of you it is very important that we stay focused on the prize and go all the way we are the workmanship created in christ jesus unto good works which god hath ordained that we should walk in see just as paul when he first was converted he became lost in religion he became lost in the things of tradition he thought that if he saved the most people if he established the most churches that he would win god but he forgot that this is not about religion and it's not about tradition but it is about our relationship that we have with god god chose each and every one of us to fulfill and achieve a specific purpose and as we strive to become what god has purposed in us we have to understand that none of this is possible on our own we have to walk this path of righteousness hand in hand with god and we have to be determined to go all the way with him and as we walk with him just as with jesus christ there are going to be some trials that we all will face yes there will be some times that we're going to come against some mountains there are going to be some times that we're going to walk through the valley but we have to stand on our yes elder omar we have to stand on our yes and say yes god i will go all the way there may even be some life situations that are going to come to blow you off course but you have to come right back and say yes lord i will go all the way despite what might come against me despite what i might be facing my pride my eye is on the prize and i am striving to go all the way we have to we have to maintain the wisdom to go all the way and when you maintain the wisdom to go all the way the way that we do that is we have to maintain our worship we have to maintain our worship to god so even when we're going through the storm we have to look to god and say god yes i will trust you god yes i will continue to obey you god though lord god all things are coming against me god yes will i still praise you o god in the name of jesus you have to know that this race that you are going in oh god this race that you are going in this journey that you're working walking with god that you're not in it by yourself why because jesus himself is interceding for you he's sitting at the right hand of the father and he's pleading your case so you know that you're not in this alone and as you're continuing to go as you're maintaining your worship as you know that god is interceding jesus is interceding with you and for you before god you will be able to navigate through this race no matter what may come you have to go all the way for he that shall endure until the end the same shall be saved and as we approach our text philippians chapter 3 we find paul or god sitting in the jail and he says brethren i count not myself to have apprehended but this one thing i do forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which all before paul came to a revelation he said i cannot stand in this place that i am i understand where i am i understand that i'm sitting in a place that i might sing bound somebody who might be in jail might feel like oh i can't get out i'm caged up i'm tied up i'm wrapped up there are things around me that's hindering but paul said no you won't i press forward towards the mark hallelujah jesus paul said i'm going all the way paul now had the wisdom to understand that all he had to ach all he had achieved was not in the place in which god wanted him to be but he knew that god was taking him somewhere further he knew that there was a certain destiny that god wanted him to achieve paul knew he was going all the way and even though at this point paul had achieved many things he has established many churches some people might look at that and say oh well he's good he started this church he started that church but paul said no that's not where it ends that's not it i got to go all the way for the one only the way to attain that promise reward was to hold on to the father to keep his faith and to be led by the spirit of god and just as you and i there is a specific plan and place in god where we have to push just a little bit further there's a specific place in god where we gotta go just a little bit higher we can't allow ourselves to become complacent in the place that we are in we can't allow ourselves to become complacent in just being an okay saint or doing just enough to get by but we have to go a little bit deeper see it's one thing when you are going about your life and you're just saying oh i'm going to church and i'm coming home i'm going to church and i'm coming home but god said no that's not all that i have called you for that is not all that i want to do in you what i want to do in you is bring something magnificent out of you so in order to get to that place we got to walk with god when you're walking with god you're not just walking to the church and going home but you're spending time in his presence while you're home by yourself you're spending time in his presence why because it's his spirit that is going to bring that change hallelujah jesus but the word tells us that while we were yet sinners christ died for the ungodly god knew us before we set out yes and there are some times when we come to a situation where we say lord i don't know if that's where you're calling me he's not calling me to be a preacher he's not calling me to be a minister he's not calling me to be a deacon or a trustee every one of you are ministers in christ every one of you have a testimony and god has called you to be on assignment pastor uh pastor uh excuse me lord i'm sorry pastor jessica excuse me sorry jessica that might be for you i don't know where that came from my apologies but you pastor jordan yes god has an assignment for each and every one of us an assignment for each and every one of us thank you lord the devil is a liar hallelujah jesus hallelujah hallelujah before we got to the place where we are right now god knew what we were going to do god knew our beginning from our end god knew that there will be some times where we were going to fall short god even knew that there would be some times when we would get to a place and say god i'm out of my comfort zone that's not where i want to be god but it's not about what we want it's about what god wants for us it's about what god is calling us to be it's about what god has purposed us to be and so you have to totally submit to god and walk with god so that you could become all that god has purpose for you to do god commands us to love him with all of our heart all of our soul all about mind and all of our strength meaning all of your being you cannot give god 50 of yourself and think that that's it because it's not it you cannot give god 75 or even 98 and think that that's it because 98 will not do but you have to give god a hundred percent of yourself a hundred percent of your yes hallelujah jesus there is no such thing as a believer just coming and sitting by the wayside but we must put our yes into action and with this we have to be just like paul who became the example for those around him he became the example by serving god with his lifestyle of worship he said i am going to do all that god has called me to do and i am going to preach whether in season or out of season whether it's good or whether it's bad i am going to preach what god is giving to me he became an example for those around him we have to be the ones that will worship god in our daily living whether we worship him in our giving we worship him without tithing we worship him in our leadership whether with your family or with your friends you have to be the example for those that are around you even when things are going bad or even when things are going hard somebody is looking at you somebody is looking to see how will you respond when things hit the fan how will you respond when you're up against a mountain how would you respond when you're walking in a lowly place how would you respond and your response has to be i'm going all the way i'm going all the way and maybe today you have found yourself bound up you might have found yourself chained up you might even found yourself stuck in a place where you thought you would never be you might have found yourself in a situation and you said i don't know how i'm gonna get out of here but the bible says which of you intended to build a tower does not sink down first and count the cause whether he has enough to finish it one thing that i can say is that when you count the costs count the cost it's already been paid the cost of your salvation was paid back on calvary but the cost of righteousness is the wisdom to maintain your worship to god in spite of what you're going through so will you be the one to praise god when things are going well or will you be the one that will praise god even in the midst of a test while you're going through you have to encourage yourself you have to keep holding on to god and you have to go all the way you have to maintain your worship so as you're going through when you're tough up against that tough time you have to say yes god i will trust you god yes god i will obey yes god i will serve you even when it gets hard you have to say lord you are worthy god you are wonderful god you are awesome god you are great god you are mighty even in this god you are still worthy you have to go all the way you have to go all the way and when you are going off the way one scripture in the bible says it like this when i remember these things when i remember how it was when i first was saved when things were going good when it seemed like oh yes i have all power when you first get saved everything is great it seems all you see is sunflowers outside and green grass and the wind is blowing yes when i remember when i remember i pour out my soul within me i remember how great it felt though i was used with the multitude i went to them to the house of god with the voice of joy and praise i remember when i first got saved and i remember being the first one at the church i remember being the first one up to clap my hands i remember being the first one to jump up and sing a song i remember being the first one to give a dance but oh when that situation came when that situation came when the test came yes when the test came when the storm came then the scripture says why are you cast down and why are you disquieted within me david says hope thou in god for i shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance oh my god my soul is cast down within me therefore i will remember you when you are up against that storm when that storm is blowing in your life you have to remember god so i thank god for little minister nala because that song spoke to that when you are going through the storm you have to remember the word of god and stand on the word of god i will remember when god said come to me all ye that labor in our heavy labor heavy laden and i will give you rest i will remember when god said if any man will deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me for whosoever will save his life shall lose it but whosoever will lose his life for my sake the same shall save it i will remember that our light afflictions which is but for a moment it's only for a moment it has not come to stay it has not come to rest in you but it is for a moment so if you would push forward if you would press forward toward the mark you're gonna get through that moment hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah but press forward a light affliction which is but for a moment is working for us a far more exceeding and the eternal weight of glory you have to remember and you have to maintain your worship there is no temptation no trial no battle no situation that god is unaware of and that god has not already prepared a way for you to win god already has a way for you to win because all things are working together for your good so even in that hard place maintain your worship your worship will change your very perception of what you're going through and i heard elder omar say earlier today that pastor t always says the praise makes it feel a little bit better and that is so true when you're facing those hard times put a praise on it because the more you dance the more you give god glory the better that you're gonna feel the lighter you're gonna feel you might have come into the church doors today and you might have felt a bit heavy you might have came into the church doors on today or even some other service you might have come into the church doors but when you came in you might have felt heavy but once you got into the midst of the service once you got up under the glory cloud once you linked your praise with somebody else once you felt the spirit up in this place then you felt a little bit better you found yourself walking out the door saying you know i feel just a little bit better so maintain your worship and go all the way hallelujah jesus hallelujah so when you maintain your worship you have to know that maintaining your worship will give you a certain power and this power is the same power that jesus christ shared when he walked with the disciples when jesus walked with the disciples he knew that there was a tough situation tough decision that he was going to have to make but he said lord i'm going to do it not my will but thou will be done and as he walked the disciples watched him as he walked the disciples saw him and just like paul he continued to walk and others saw that there was some power in him as you're walking that power that god is gonna put in you will give you the strength to intercede for somebody else it will give you the strength to be able to show somebody else the way somebody else who can't see it somebody else who just doesn't know it would give them the same strength why because we're linking arms together bishop when he came and he gave his acknowledgments he said yes i'm coming when the enemy messes with one he has to mess with all of us it's something about when you link your presence in your spirit with somebody else you feel just a bit stronger it's something about when you're walking about and when you're dealing with the situation and you know you have your brother and your sister in christ right there praying for you praying for you in the midnight hours encouraging you somebody's sending you a message and saying hey i got your back it makes you feel just a little bit stronger you will have the power to intercede but you've got to go all the way and when you receive this power i feel that this power is building you up this power is building up your spiritual muscles it's giving you the power to keep going not only is it building up your spiritual muscles but it's building up your spiritual stamina and it's building up your anointing the anointing that gives you the power to fight the anointing that gives you the power to press on the anointing that gives you the power to achieve the perfect will of god and the verse 14 says and i press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of god in christ jesus let us therefore as many be perfect be thus minded and if anything you be otherwise minded god shall reveal even this unto you alf over the past two years god has been building you up on your most holy faith he has been building you up there have been times where most churches especially on this past year have fallen away but you have not you have not and that's because god has been building you up and there are people even myself virtually who are watching you and they are seeing the praise that is going forth in spite of they are seeing the praise that is going forth despite how other churches are shutting down but god has been keeping you he has been keeping you because he understands that there is a certain destiny that alf has there is a certain destiny that he wants to bring you to you are not the church of yesterday but you are the church of today and god wants to take you further he wants to take you further because he understands that because of this ministry god is going to bring others to christ god is going to show others it's not about traditions it's not about the old ways how we did things the same way but it's about moving in the presence of god it's about following and being up under the presence of god that god is going to use hallelujah and just as we see the text the text tells us that we all have our individual experiences with christ we all are going through our continued experience with christ we all are seeking a future experience with christ desiring a victorious experience with christ which will ultimately lead to an eternal experience with christ and this is how we know first corinthians 12 says but the manifestation of the spirit is given to every man to profit with all for to one is given by the spirit the word of wisdom to another the word of knowledge by the same spirit to another faith by the same spirit to another the gifts of healing by the same spirit to another the working of miracles to another prophecy to another discerning of spirits to another diverse kinds of tongues to another the interpretation of tongues but all these worketh that one in the self same spirit dividing to every man severally as he will for as the body is one and have many members all the members of that one body being many are one body so also is christ so for the body of christ is made of many members yet one body many members yet one gold many members yet one sound and the sound is yes i'm going all the way but in order for us to go all the way we're gonna have to work together we're gonna have to cross generations for god uses the old to he uses the old for its wisdom and he uses the young because they are strong and when we work together in unity then is the body of christ strengthened for the bible says two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labor for if they fall the one will lift up his fellow below to him that is alone when he fall of for he had not another to help him up again if two lot together then they have heat but how can one be warm alone and if one prevail against him two shall withstand them because why we need one another to survive for the word says where two or three are gathered together in my name there will the spirit of god be in the midst together we can go all the way our worship gives us the determination to run and when we work together and intercede for one another we gain the strength to press on and then are we able to navigate through this race called life why because we can't do it by ourselves and now that we have spent some time with god now that we have learned that it's not of our own accord but it is through faith in the promise that god will perfect us through jesus christ noun is when we have to use all that has been instilled in us to go all the way all the way and verse 16 says nevertheless where to have already i attained let us walk by the same rule let us mine the same thing when you are faced with difficult situations don't forget your yes to the lord don't forget who was the one that saved you and sacrifice he made for you don't forget the fact that he gave his only begotten son on calvary that you might have salvation don't forget that he brought you and gave you benefits from being in his presence don't forget that you said yes lord that i would serve you and most importantly don't forget the promises that he made to each and every one of you if you but go all the way for us just like paul it doesn't matter how things were in your life before you said yes and it doesn't even matter how things might look right now but if you would say yes lord i'm going all the way and maintain that god would keep you god will not only keep you but he will bring you into a better place and when the world is falling apart and when all things are going on god is still expecting you to say yes yes he's he's expecting you to say yes timothy puts it this way for i also suffer these things nevertheless i am not ashamed for i know whom i have believed i know whom i have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which i have committed to him i'm going all the way when you commit yourself to him that means you are committing all of you to him that means it doesn't matter what's going to come you will never say no to the lord but you will say yes even when you're burdened down you're going to say yes even when you feel that it's too much on you you're gonna say yes and the more you walk with god the more you say yes to god the more god will lift you up the more god is gonna make you better and the more god is gonna make you strong and as you continue to walk when you get to the end you're gonna look back and say god it was good that i endured that it was good that i went through that hallelujah jesus the same deal that you had in the good times is the same deal that you have to hold on to in the tough times the same deal that you have when you first believe is the same zeal that you have to have when trials and tribulations come and paul says it this way i have learned in whatsoever state i am i have learned to be abound and i have learned to be abased everything and in all things you must praise god you must hold on to your yes and this is the strength that keeps you going after god when you say in everything and in everywhere i'm gonna say yes this is the strength that keeps you going forward we've got to remain faithful and go all the way you've got to understand that it doesn't matter because the enemy is going to try you he's going to try you he's going to distract you he's going to try to stop you have to understand that when you say yes god is going to say okay there will be a test that's going to come and it's going to test your yes but even when those tests comes you have to say i still say yes i'm still saying yes i'm still saying yes you have to hold on to the promises that comes from god's word and you have to understand that even when your yes is being tested that god's word and his promises are yea and amen he will not go back on his word concerning you but he's going to do and accomplish exactly what his word promises and when you're going through your yes when you're being tested with your yes you have to understand that you gotta hold on to a nevertheless a nevertheless nevertheless if you are going through i will yet praise you nevertheless if my mother or father forsake me the lord will lift me up because i'm going all the way nevertheless if your friends turn their backs because there will be a place where you might feel your friends are falling off you might come to a place and you'll say you know i thought they were my friends but when i said yes to god they were not there you're gonna find that place and even when you find that place you gotta say lord i'm going all the way why because god said that i will be your friend nevertheless if you're feeling overwhelmed in your spirits keep going all the way because the bible says when i am overwhelmed i can go to jesus jesus who is the rock which is higher than i nevertheless i'm going all the way nevertheless if you are in despair go all the way go all the way you can call on the name of the lord in your time of distress and he will hear you god is not turning his head from you but he is waiting for you to call on him he is waiting for you to say nevertheless i'm going all the way nevertheless when others quit go all the way because in your weakest moments god will be your strength nevertheless when your family don't want to act right hallelujah when your family don't want to act right and they deny the power of the salvation of the god of god you have to say i'm going all the way because his word promises that the prayers of the righteous avail of much yes so your

nevertheless when this journey seems to be just a bit lonely keep going all the way for hebrews tells us he will never leave you nor forsake you therefore you can boldly say the lord is your helper you will not fear nevertheless go all the way because god is in this with you nevertheless go all the way when you maintain your nevertheless you will surely w-i-n win you will surely win nevertheless that is a journey that god is going to take you through and as you're going through the journey know that you are walking with god and even in those moments when you feel that your foot is about to slip know that god will pick you up and he will carry you through when you're going through the fire hallelujah jesus god will jump right in the situation with you nevertheless god we're going all the way hallelujah jesus and when you're going all the way know that you have to hold on and press toward the mark of god for the prize of the high calling which is in christ jesus nevertheless alf i want you to understand that when you maintain your worship when you maintain your worship god will take you to a place that is higher in him he will be able to show you things that he has in store for you but you have to maintain your worship you have to understand that he has come that those men that are lost would have life and the way that it's going to be birthed is through you so maintain your nevertheless even in the storms maintain your nevertheless i thank god for every gift that is inside each and every one of you and i thank god that he is showing that to this generation because this is the time where the world is in need of somebody to stand on a nevertheless this is the time where the world is looking to the church and saying what are you doing what are you going to do and you have to stand in your place and say yes god i'm going to worship you god i won't be moved i won't fear and why because god hasn't given us a spirit of fear but he has given us a spirit of power and a sound mind hallelujah jesus we've got a sound mind so i come to encourage you to maintain your worship even when you're going through and as you're going through and when you're walking know that this walk is not just about you and yes you're going to be saved but know that your walk is helping someone else and every time my kids come in here i just want you to know they tell me about how church is and they say yes i saw this at church and i experienced that at church so know that your walk what you do in here is influence in the younger generation know that you're not even in it by yourself but there is someone sitting in heaven and his name is jesus so when you feel that it is hard when you feel that it is hard when you feel that you cannot go on know that you're not in it by yourself because jesus is interceding for you and the way that you get through this the way that you navigate through this as you hold on to your nevertheless nevertheless god what may come what may come we do not know but what we do know is that there will be a time where we're going to be tested and when you are tested you got to know that the enemy is going to try you in your mind he's going to try you in your mind but as the enemy is trying you i dare you i dare you to say in the spirit satan you are a liar [Music] and there is no truth in you what god says he will surely do [Music] there is an assurance in the word of god and assurance in the word of god that we will win in the end and even greater today the blessing is not just that we're going to win in the end but the blessing is as we're walking we're winning as we are walking we are winning [Music] just as the bible tells us about how as the lepers went they were healed as you walk god is healing you he's healing your spirit he's healing your mind and he is preparing you for your assignment so alf do not quit don't falter whatever you might be facing you can hold on to the assurance that in the end you will win and while you're going through god is going to strengthen you god is going to strengthen you why because god is making you god tough i often tell my sons you have to have god confidence it's not confidence in man it's not confidence in yourself but you have to know that god is in you god is working in you he's moving in you and god is going to get it done god is going to get it done it's not about you it's not about the power that you feel you have but it's about god working in you it is his power that is working in you why because he wants to get his glory he wants to get all his glory but you have to say i'm going all the way i'm going all the way so be blessed on today and i thank each and every one of you for your presence right now be blessed on today and remember go all the way with god

here at the abundant life family worship center we dedicate children to the lord just as hannah dedicated samuel to the lord and joseph and mary dedicated baby jesus this dedication serves as the parents public acknowledgement that their child is a gift to them and that they have a spiritual responsibility for the nurturing and training of this child in our culture there is a saying that it takes a village to raise a child and today as anthony and erica have come to dedicate sir legend to the lord they realize that they don't stand alone as they embark on this journey they are blessed to

then when they brought unto him little children that jesus put his hands on them and prayed and the disciples rebuked them saying but but jesus said suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not for such is the kingdom of heaven and he laid his hands on them and departed children are indeed a gift from god psalms 1 27 and 3 says sons are a heritage from the lord and children a reward from him as believers we recognize that children belong first and foremost to god and god and his goodness gives us the child amen as a gift parents not only have the awesome responsibility of caring

with all thine heart with all thy soul and with all thy might and these words which i command thee this day shall be in thine heart thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children thou shalt talk of them without cities in that house and without walkers by the way and with our lies down and when thy rise is up ephesians 6 and 4 says fathers provoke not your children to wrath but bring them up
