say of the lord he is my refuge and my fortress my god in whom i trust surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence he will cover you with the feathers and under his wings you will find refuge his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart you will not feel the terror of night nor the arrow that flies by day nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness nor the plague that destroys at midday a thousand may fall at your side ten thousand at your right hand but it will not come near you you only observed with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked if you say the lord is my refuge and you make the most high your dwelling no harm will overtake you no disaster will come near you for he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways they will lift you up in their hands so you will not strike your foot against the stone you will tread on the line and on the cobra you will trample the great lion and the serpent because he loves me says the lord i will rescue him i will protect him for he acknowledges my name he will call on me and i will answer him i will be with him in trouble i will deliver him and honor him with long with long life i will satisfy him and show him my salvation that's been your reading for this morning may we continue to have your attention while we will now be led in prayer by brother kevin

hope to meet you then my god they called jesus he came to love oh is he lives oh i know is is is life is nowhere cause he lives is yes all of those fears is me remember our lord and savior jesus christ i'll be reading from first corinthians chapter verse chapter 17. i'm in chapter 11 starting at verse number 20. when you meet together you are not really interested in the lord's supper but some of you hurry to eat your own meal without sharing with others as a result some hungry while others get drunk well do you not have your own homes for eating and drinking or do you really want to disgrace god's church and shame the poor what am i supposed to say do you want me to praise you well i certainly will not praise you for this for i pass on to you what i received from the lord himself on the night when he was portrayed the lord jesus took some bread and gave thank thanks to god for it then he broke it in pieces and said this is my body which is given for you do this to remember me in the same way he took the cup of wine up the supper saying this cup is a new covenant between god and his people an agreement confirmed with my blood do this to remember me as often as you drink it for every time you eat this bread and drink this cup you are announcing the lord's death until he comes again so anyone who eats this bread or drinks this cup of the lord unworthily is guilty of sinning against the body and the blood of the lord that is why you should examine yourself before eating the bread and drinking the cup for if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of christ you're eating and drinking god judgment upon yourself that is why many of you are weak and sick and some have even died but if we would examine ourselves we would not be judged by god in this way yet when we are judged by the lord we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned along with the world let us pray heavenly father we just thank you we thank you and we understand that this is a routine that we do this heavenly father but we do this remember you each and every lord's day we just pray that we remember what it symbolizes with this bread representing your body and this cup representing your blood help us to take it with clean hearts and pure minds in jesus we pray amen we also commanded to give upon the first day of the week yeah and we would like to thank those who have been supporting the kingdom of god by by paypal and and sending their offerings on on sunday coming by to drop their offering on on saturday between 12 and 2. we definitely thank you for continuing to support what we're trying to do here at belford in in the kingdom of christ so we definitely want to keep those in mind and pray for those who gave a portion of their lay-by i'll be reading second corinthians chapter nine and i'll be starting at verse number ten but god is the one who provides the seed for the farmer and then bread to eat in the same way hebrew will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you yes you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous and when we take the gifts of those who need them they would thank god so two things will happen with the result from this ministry of giving the needs of the believers in jerusalem will be met and they will joyfully express their thanks to god as a result of your ministry they will give glory to god for your generosity to them and to all believers who prove that you are obedient to the good news of christ and they will pray for you with deep affection because of the overflowing grace god has given to you thank god for this gift two wonderful words let us pray heavenly father we thank you for for everyone who decided in their hearts to give back a portion of what you've already blessed them with we thank you for all the different avenues you've allowed us to be able to to give back a portion heavily farther if it's on on the website or if it's in person or any way that you give us the opportunity we're just thankful that we have a heart of giving heavenly father help us to understand what giving does heavenly father besides of building the kingdom we also help those that stand in need be with those that don't happen to give heavenly father but had the desire to give continue to strengthen our minds and build our spiritual hearts in jesus name we pray amen the glory belongs to you oh the lord belongs to you oh god oh god oh oh oh me oh all the hallelujah of the glory of the glory all the glory belongs to you hear me hallelujah lift your voice i one more time last song before our speaker comes last song before i speak of god oh well when you're coming it's no no no if you were coming if you were coming because he was sitting down you know i don't want to teach you at your time come on up we gonna bring you right now right now you can start walking right now he can start walking right now let me find something to bring my preacher up real quick i had something else but we're going to get you off here right now oh lord oh lord away is is is smile and say man smile and say man again i want to do this i want to add to what uh brother scurlock said in uh in his introduction we also want to pray for those who are who have been sending their tithes and they're offering to us we've been receiving money all over this land and we want you to know that certainly we appreciate you as well for what you are doing by way of the kingdom we certainly appreciate you and we are praying that we will continue to flow and to go in the manner in which we are moving i want to tell you that i have mixed emotions this morning the lord called sister bailey home for today this morning sister bailey was an old saint many might not even know miss bailey but she was placed in hospice uh a few days ago and she slipped right on out and i understand that we're living in the land of the dying headed for the land of the living so i want to pay pray for the bailey family but i'm equally excited because brandon cook a young man that attends his church his mother called the office and let us know that brandon had had sieges and that he was in icu but the good news is brandon got an opportunity to come home on yesterday so we see god is working on both ends he but we appreciate brandon so much i want to take time and thank our praise team what an awesome praise i believe i believe that we have the best praise team in the world i mean because it's just a handful of us it's less than 10 of us in here and if you did not know you would believe that it was 500 people up here in this building and every one of them are given all that they have and for that we are certainly grateful thank kevin for what a beautiful prayer this morning he was praying like jesus christ was standing right next to him we appreciate him so much for his prayer but none of this would work as well as it do without our media team my god what a media team what a media team these guys work countless hours to make sure that all of these things are working and for that we are eternally grateful i heard this on the news and i got a long way to go but but but i want to i want to do this because i heard on the news that if we don't do something about this pandemic another 150 000 people will be dead by the end of the year another 150 000 people will be dead by the end of the year and they said 70 000 could be saved if we would merely just wear our masks wash our hands and do the things that we 70 000 souls could be said there are over 250 000 people in a small town at a motorcycle rally today and they and and they they are demanding that they are not going to wear mess i'm praying for our nation and our country that they would all that we could all get up on the same page and realize that god is trying to get our attention he'll get it one way or the other he'll get it while we live or he'll take you out of here and don't believe by any stretch of the imagination that you can't rush your death the bible says in ecclesiastes 9 and verses and 11 he said why die before your time so you can rush ben you're right and this and that and being all big headed about this thing and trying to support some some some party you better be wise enough to do what you need to do while you've got a chance ain't

thanksgiving in our hearts thanking you for an opportunity to come together and to lift up the name of jesus we pray this morning for the bailey family we ask thy mercy upon the cook family and lord we just pray for all of those that are struggling with their health we pray for those families that are dealing with this pandemic we pray kind master for our researchers that somehow visa and johnson and johnson could come up with something that would eliminate this deadly virus oh god we pray now for preaching power i pray that you just and take my body and use every fiber that's in it take my mouth my tongue and let it be your words and things that come out of your heart use me like a sponge this morning to absolve all of the things that's going over and then lord help us to realize ain't no need to worry because all of this will be all over in the morning come on come on sing it with me come on come on come on come on be finding in your bibles the book of hebrews the chapter is number 11. we'll start the reading at verse 24 and a few of the following verse that's hebrews chapter number 11 verse 24 and a few of the following verses hebrews chapter number 11 verse 24 and a few of the following verses the bible says by faith moses when he had come to years refused to be called the son of pharaoh's daughter choosing rather to suffer the affliction with the people of god than to enjoy pleasure of sin for a season extreme in the reproach of christ great riches than the treasures of egypt for he had respect unto the reconciles of the reward god it's your time now feed us there's a word for all of us let us get our portion and we'll be very careful to give you praise honor and glory and all of god's children said amen you may be seated for the next few minutes i want to tag this sermon rebound simple rebound beloveds one of the most important things in the nba is to have a good center man a good man in the middle every team wants some good man in the middle somebody george who will average anywhere between 15 and 20 rebounds per game why why little robert because in the game of basketball you are going to miss some shots beloveds james harden the leader in the nba mrs schatz michael jordan one of the greatest of all time mrs schatz reggie miller who could shoot the lights out of the ball every now and then would miss some shots now any good coach any good coach aaron corbin will tell you if you missed the shot go for the rebound as a matter of fact po boy he says now if you miss the shot when you shoot the ball he says follow up your shot why why why why did he want them to do it he he didn't want them if they missed the shot to walk off the court and stop playing he didn't want them uh uh uh uh to stop shooting because they missed a shot he didn't even all he wanted them to do when they missed the shot follow up get your rebound and stay in the game my brothers and my sisters many times in this spiritual life we miss some shots we missed some shots and all we need to do is get our rebound and stay in the game just because you made a commitment to god and you missed a shot get your rebound and get back up and get in the game just because you made a commitment as a parent and missed the shot as a parent get the rebound and and get back in the game just because you've made a commitment and bad relationship and you missed the shot beloved i'm telling you get your rebound and start all over again oh i know i know you repented last week i know you had good intentions last week i know you left here with the right thing in mind but somewhere britney between last week and this week you missed the shot can i tell you today i want you to rebound and get back in the game the text that has been read in your hearing comes from the pen of a very unusual man a very a very a very normal individual his name is moses beloved he spent the first three months of his life hidden in a house i'm trying to tell you and then his mama took him and put him in a river in a basket with snakes and alligators and crocodiles to allow him to float down the nile river i'm telling you he was abandoned he was adopted he had a speech impediment beloved if anybody should have been dysfunctional it should have been moses but because moses rebounded and redirected his life look what happened he wrote the first five books of the bible he received the ten commandments from god he led the children of israel out of 400 years of slavery in egypt beloved this was a man that god used in an amazing way to do amazing things for god god is telling us each and every one of us that in this life we have some choices good god almighty i feel the preaching coming you better get this justin because in this life we have something you don't have to live your life defeated beloved you don't have to live your life with low self-esteem you and i can make can make our lives count by a lot by not allowing our past to dictate our future can i say that again we can make our lives count if we stop allowing the past to dictate our future i know you've made some mistakes i've made some mistakes you made some mistakes i know you've made some bad choices but we can turn this thing around and today would be a perfect day to turn it around listen to what the bible says in in deuteronomy chapter 30 and verse number 19 deuteronomy chapter 30 and the verse is number 19. the bible says in deuteronomy chapter 30 verse number 19 he says i call heaven and earth to record this day against you notice now he said shayla i sat before you life and y'all got to get this thing i sat before your life and death i set before you blessed and cursing therefore choose life that both die and thy seed may y'all better see it he says i've set before you he said he said i said it right here i said it before you it's set before you he said now i set before you life and death that spiritual andre and then he said blessing and cursing that's physical if i had time i'd go over deuteronomy chapter 28 but don't have time read it he said now here's what it is in front of you is setting both life and death he said blessings and cursing and dead and then he goes on to encourage us to choose life beloveds too many of us are just satisfied where we are in life and we say things like that's just how i am that's just my dna watch this i i i didn't ask to be abused as a child beloved and we make all kinds of excuses for our behavior god is saying i've set before you life and death oh i know you've been through some things but you've got a choice do you want to stay where you've been or do you want to change and redirect your life and go you have a choice he said i've sat before your life and death george i've sat before you blessings and cursing choose life can i tell you this i am defined by my vision my purpose and my goal can i say that again i am defined by my vision my purpose and my goal if i have no vision no purpose and no goal then my choice is death can i say that for a minute let me tell you something let me tell you it is my prayer it is my prayer roshika that you would choose life today and impact those that are around you impact your family impact your co-workers impact your community life is is is is impacting one another can i show you this text can we dig in this text i'm going i'm trying i'm trying to talk to one of my he said man you the lessons are good just cut them down a little bit i'm trying i'm trying lord forgive me because i watch this y'all watch this moses settled four key issues about life before he was able to rebound and here's why i want to work here's well here's where i want to work harvey jr moses settled four key issues about life before he was able to rebound can i tell you something can i tell you something martial zealous can i tell you something ray brown these are the same four issues that we have to settle in our life barack if we are going to rebound cedric you'll never rebound until you settle these four these four keys in your life are y'all ready for this key number one it is the issue of identity can i say it again it is the issue of identity who am i that's the you before you'll ever rebound you got to first determine who you are now watch this moses was born a hebrew slave now watch this he was raised as pharaoh's grandson in pharaoh's palace notice he had an identity crisis he was born a hebrew but yet he was raised in the palace beloved moses is going to have to identify who am i am i hebrew or am i an egyptian here's what i want you to see according to the decree in exodus chapter 1 verse 17 the midwives was instructed that every son every son that was born would be murdered every girl could live but every boy that was born had to be murdered now moses mother had a boy i wish i had time to talk about this girl but she had a boy now watch this with this boy for the first three months she hit him can you imagine she put him under the sink put blankets over when anybody would knock on her door she would hide her baby she would hide her baby she would hide her baby for three months and then when she couldn't hide him any longer she put him in a basket and sent him down the nile river beloved she did what she thought was best for her child can i park here for just a second are you doing what you think is best for your child beloved i just have to say this and i don't want to stay here see many of us are allowing our children to grow up entirely too fast too many women are trying to be their children's sister opposed to being their mama too many men are trying to be their son's friend it comes a time i'm telling you my baby is 30. it comes a time in your life when you can be their friend but when they're growing up and need that nourishing and need that instruction you need to be what god has called you to be moses mama did what she can do why she can do it and when she couldn't do no more she put him in a basket and sent him down the nile river now watch this pharaoh daughter was bathing in the river at the same time moses comes sailing down the river now this princess loved moses because god had put it in a heart no pharaoh's daughter would adopt a hebrew slave uh that that doesn't make any that that's just not normal she named him moses now don't don't miss this the word moses mean drone out she named him moses because she drawed him out of the night river but but but but but he was going to be drawn out that he might learn to draw others out good god almighty y'all better see this so moses moses now he is now living a life of luxury look look he came from living in the sink being hit here hid over there hid over here he came from that all the way to living in the palace wearing fine clothes living in fine houses living going to the finest of schools see we don't know what god is doing even in our life we don't know why we're going through what we're going through when we're going through it god has a plan for you but you got to get this moses is going to have to decide now am i going to be a jew or am i going to be an egyptian am i going to be a slave or am i going to be royalty am i going to be what i'm forced to be or am i going to be what god has made me to be beloved i wish you can see this question from you are you struggling with your identity can i say that again are you struggling with your identity who are you beloved are you a child of the king are you a child of the world you see you see you see you see you and i uh uh have been called to be holy good god man i want to stop right here so bad it's unreal let me just drop this in in first peter chapter chapter 1 verse 16 he says be ye holy for i am holy can i tell you what holy is not holy is not quoting a bunch of scriptures some of us think holy is the first john chapter 5 mark chapter 2 my that's not holy beloved holy is not running into a church building every time the doors are open that's not holy can i help you with something holy is not your right and everybody else is wrong that's not holy but holy living is denying oneself taking up the cross and following christ daily that's what holy is holy is denying elvis prince taking the crisis cross and following can i tell you something that gets hard sometimes that gets hard sometimes because let me tell you something you got to love people who don't love you being holy you have to you have to be nice to folk who talk about you being holy you have to go the extra mile when people have stabbed you in the back being holy is learning how to forgive well brother glenn you don't know what they've done to me it doesn't make a difference well i just can't do it like you're not holy because being holy is being able to put the past in the past and god knew that sometimes it would be very difficult that's why we have therapists that's why we have see see sometimes stuff has happened to you too deep that you can't get out of yourself but he's allowed people professionals to know what to say what to do but if you are content with staying in an unholy state oh god i wish i had 10 minutes because i'd give you a test on if you're really holy or not not if you come to church let me ask you this who in your life now that you know you need to forgive and you can't see i quiet you got right there see i cried you got well brother glenn you just don't know he touched me let me tell you something i've been reading this bible at this church for the last 29 years and i have not found one exception that we should not be able to forgive somebody as a matter of fact the bible says in luke 17 and 4 if a man sinned against you seven times seven in a day you forgive him let me tell you i can preach all the sermons i want but if i don't have a forgiving heart if i'm envy i'm jealous come on up in this place all man the bible calls us to be holy let me tell you something let me tell you many maybe maybe your divorce has caused you to lose your identity you used to be a hard-loving christian but he walked off she walked off and now you better maybe maybe maybe it's the pandemic that caused you to lose your identity you were doing good and all of a sudden now you're not working don't have a job don't know where your money's coming from and your neighbor who cares nothing about god look like his life is just going and as a result of that as a result of that this maybe your your former role model has caused you to lose your identity you know you can look up to people you can have a lot of respect for a person and you find out that that person is just as wicked it can knock you off your feet and causes you to lose your beloved i'm trying to tell you you just not the person you used to be if i'm talking to you that you're not the person you you put it in the chat box put your name in your city or your state i want to pray pray for you say i'm not what i used to be glenn i used to walk and live and walk for the lord but for some reason or another i need to rebound if i'm talking to you chatted and i promise you we'll pray for you you don't have to just say james houston we'll pray for you put it in the check box i want i want to talk to you i want to pray for you because because god can you can rebound and get back in the game beloved i'm here to tell you you are struggling with the absence of what brought you this far you are struggling with the pursuit of what made the way out of no way you are struggling with the fear of who is in control i stopped by to tell you no man can serve two masters for your loved one and hate the other you're going to have to make up your mind you're going to have to rebound and get back in the game you are struggling with your identity beloveds if moses would have said i'm pharaoh's grandson he would have had fame fortune and luxury or if he had chose to say i'm a jewish slave he would have to be rejected despised thrown out humiliated and will live a life of a slavery the rest of his life moses made the right choice go to the text y'all it's in the text i want you to keep our text uh hebrews 11 we're going to look at uh uh exodus chapter two and maybe we'll touch acts chapter seven but look look look hebrews 11 verse number 24 hebrews 11 verse number 24 hebrews chapter number 11 verse number 24 he said by faith faith is trusting god when you can't trace him faith is forsaken or f forsake a for or alpha i t for trust and h for him put it together faith is forsaken all i trust him so the bible says watch this now by faith moses when he has grown up oh good god almighty refused underscore the word refused he said now moses when he had grown up refused to be known as the son of pharaoh's daughter good god almighty moses is saying all that glitter ain't gold can you all you're saying this beloved moses is saying see the word refuse refute i love that word it's it's a a negative particle it means to close the door get this it means it's subtle it's sad he insists that he was going to do what god called him to do no no no pressure no no no fame no fine chariot was going to cause him to live anywhere different beloved he did not have one foot as an egyptian and the other foot as a hebrew see i acquired your god because many of us have one foot in the church and the other foot in the world but moses had his mind made up he said i'm not going to straddle the fence i'm going to do what god has called me to do in acts chapter number seven acts chapter number seven and verses number 22 acts chapter 7 and the verse is number 22 the bible says moses was taught all the wisdom of the egyptians and he became mighty in both speech and action you got to get this not now it does not mean that he had just book since although he was he was very well educated but but but but but but but it means that he was carefully trained and educated in wisdom so in verse 23 the bible says one day when he was 40 years old he decided to visit his relatives the people of israel now get out who i feel like preaching y'all moses was three months three months his mama got him dropped him in a basket sent him down the nile river now he's 40. now he's 40. see moses was saying i have lived on the wrong side long enough good god almighty if you feel like you've been on the wrong side long enough put it in the chat we want to pray for you say man i'm on the wrong side glenn pray for me i live i'm living on the wrong oh good god y'all gotta say it merle says was put in a basket at three months we don't hear nothing from him until he's 40. the bible said he had wisdom notice he says he says he said he said i'm deciding i'm making a spiritual decision i no longer want to live like i'm living i'm going to rebound good god almighty well which one of these uh huh put me right here put it here put it here because i want to talk to you i want you to say i'm no longer going to live like i'm living i want to rebound today i want to change some i'm not a bad person glenn it's just that my relationship with god is not like it ought to be i want to rebound put it in the chat i promise you we're going to pray for you man we're going to pray for you but because because these are perilous times and i'm telling you it ain't it's you've allowed the pressures of this world to move you away from god today is the day that you ought to rebound and get back in the game of life beloveds beloved moses was a great man on his way to being the next pharaoh of egypt but there came a time when he decided i'm not going to do it he says as pharaoh i could rule egypt as israel i could lead the people out of bondage moses chose to identify with his people and give up the fame and fortune of egypt moses moses moses knew god had a plan for his life his life oh good god can you imagine oh can can i just slow down i feel like i'm at us in a school zone i want to get a ticket right here i'm going to slow down maybe a police somewhere watch it can i slow down can you imagine if you gave your entire self to the plan and to the purpose of god shayla can you begin now you do pretty good i i watch you but but just suppose you gave your entire life to god can you imagine what kind of church we would have if we just had 50 of the people that would really give themselves can you imagine what kind of preachers we could have if they really just gave themselves to the preaching and to the dedication of the gospel beloved let me tell you let me go good god of mine i said i wouldn't know get off track come on back up here james glenn and stay preach ain't saying none all day long but watch this watch this watch this so the first secret to rebounding is is you got to realize who you are stop trying to be everybody else stop trying to look like everybody stop trying to drink like everybody stop trying to live like it and who god made you to be let me tell you something i'm me i mean this is the way i preach i ain't trying to be like nobody but me little robert i thank you for singing like you saying you sang like you you ain't trying to imitate nobody you do what god has blessed you with you know who you are you know what i would hate to live this life and die and never know who james glenn really is who never know never so many people i don't mind dying cause i'm gonna die but i wanna die knowing who i who i am i want a good god oh y'all don't know how hard this is beloved discover what god has made you to be god has made moses to be a leader to suffering people and moses was not going to sell out for luxury can i ask you something what are you going to sell out for that the second the second the second the second key to rebounding is the key of responsibility except the responsibility for your for your life the issue of responsibility are you in denial tick tick tick tick letters okay are you in denial have you turned your face to another direction are you blaming other people for who you are be honest be honest man be honest be honest go to go to uh exodus chapter two exodus chapter two exodus chapter two moses took responsibility before moses could turn his life around he had to take responsibility you have to take responsibility exodus chapter two exodus chapter number two look and it came to pass in those days when moses was grown up underscore that when moses was grown up that he went out underscored that unto his brethren and he looked underscored that on the burdens on their burdens and he saw the egyptians smiting a hebrew one of his brethren these three words i told you to underscore grow up went out and looked can i just take a minute to say something about it notice now the word grow up the word grow up means more than just in years more than just chronological growth but maturity he grew up he matured he was fully developed can i ask you a question have you grown up are you still acting like a baby acting like like you 4 at 40 have you grown up every little thing gets up under your skin every ounce of stuff if things don't go your way you got an attitude it's time to grow up the text says moses grew up watching god i wish i had had time i had time nothing was sad about moses until he was 40 but he grew up one of the biggest fears of my life is that i don't grow up man i i didn't have a daddy can i just say this and i'm trying to stay with my lesson but i got to give a commercial here i didn't have a daddy didn't have a daddy shayla my daddy was murdered at the age of three now it would have been easy for me to skate through life saying i don't know how to be a daddy because i didn't have an example i didn't know how to have to be a daddy because but i need to grow up cause i didn't have one don't mean i don't need to be one good god almighty let me tell you something you need to look at your life look back over your life erwin coleman learn from your mistake but stop allowing those mistakes to hold you back the text says he grew up but then he says he went out now this suggests that moses was going out on some mission or some purpose with a heart to seek and to help after you grow up go out see too many of us are growing up and not going out our mission and i believe that one of the reasons we have this pandemic is because god wanted us to come out of these four walls i'm so proud of the austin house the austin house fed for 250 people yesterday 250 ever since this pandemic has been going on has been going up they've been going down to make sure people were are being fed i get people out when we go get back in the building get back in here to do what you wasn't doing nothing when we got out of here when you gonna start you don't have to be in the building to do something preach james glenn let me tell you something let me tell you let me tell you you know what it's sad that we've built the church on fellowships two things if you want to grow a church have fellowships and good singing don't nobody want to do ministry don't nobody want to roll they sleaze up and do ministry don't nobody want to work with our hard-headed children but just a handful of us and then and then watch this if somebody forget to call your name you got attitude let me tell you something let me tell you something he he he grew up he went out and then looked he looked he looked i love this word the idea that moses was going to investigate the suffering of his people in other words he says i got to find out where i'm needed where am i where am i where am i needed since because now everywhere you want to go you might not be needed there you need to find out you need to investigate and find out where i'm needed and let me tell you something what you might be needed might not be in the in the limelight see we like to be needed where everybody can see us you know i want to be needed as a song leader i want to be needed as a preacher but some people somebody need to be needed as to clean up the building see how quiet you got let me in your living room don't you cut me off you leave them beans alone they're not gonna burn you better get this cause i'm trying to get over something to you you gotta find out moses investigated where he was needed let me get down to the good look at that clock good god almighty now you got to see this for 40 years for 40 years brit we know nothing about moses nothing i love this liz get this part get this part for 40 years we know nothing about moses only acts give us a a a little teaching when they say he grew in wisdom but now watch this we don't know if he ever seen his brother aaron again we don't know if he ever seen miriam again we don't even know after he stopped nursing off of his mother if he ever seen his mother again we don't hear nothing about moses until he's 40. now that bothered me why is it that now you bring him back when he's 40. the first mention when he brings him back notice what he brings him back and saying he killed the man y'all don't miss this when they bring it back after 40 years the first thing we know about him is that he killed the man why did he put that in there because he wanted you to know wise men make mistakes he wanted you to know that wise men make mistakes beloved if you are going to rebound you have to accept the responsibility of your mistakes watch how moses accepted him i told you to go to chapter 2. are you there look at verse number 12. look at verse number 12. the bible says and he looked this way and then he looked that way don't miss it and when he had saw that there was no man he slewed the egyptian and hid him in the sand can i just ask this what are you hiding in the sand are you than your fears are you hiding rejections are you hiding your hurts are you hiding your uncertainties what in verse 13 just watching and when he went out the second day thank god for a second day oh i was in the pause there but he went out a second day and behold two men that were hebrews were striving together and when they saw him what he had he that had did wrong he said wherefore smite it thou fella and he said unto them who made you a prince and judged over us think it thou kill me and thou killeth the egyptian and the bible says and moses feared and said watch this surely this thing is known look moses was pharaoh's grandson yeah let me tell you when you that far up the ladder you don't have to he could he could have wiped that thing off his grandfather could have wiped that thing off because his grandfather was in power just like donald trump white wipe off stuff for his children because he's in power but moses accepted the responsibility he said oh good god almighty look look look look look look look please don't miss it he says surely this thing is known he says i'm taking responsibility for what i've done he says i'm guilty i did it beloved you'll never get rid of a negative spirit until you accept the responsibility that you have won can i say that again you'll never get rid of a anger problem until you admit the fact that you have one beloved you'll never get rid of being demon possessed until you admit the fact that you have that you are demon-led see what i'm trying to say you see he said you see the phrase judge over us he said they made a prediction that would not be fulfilled until 40 years later get this get this get this press the hebrew word for judge was a word which means deliverer and moses became a deliverer only because he sacked he accepted the responsibility for his mistake can i just pause just for a sec i'm almost through y'all but i want to know are you have you accepted the responsibility for your are you well i wouldn't have been so bad and my mama wouldn't have been bad i wouldn't have been like this and my dad would that's okay when you as a matter of fact the bible said the bible said let me say see what i'm trying to tell you we need to fess up if you need to fess up put it in the chat man we gonna have a prayer meeting put it in i need to fess up some things preacher man man i'm not as close to god as i used to be fascist beloved if you messed up then fess up things began to come together in your life when you fess up now you don't have to fess up to people you don't have to go go go report to no no pope no poke because he messed up too but be honest with yourself see some of the stuff you've done you can't tell nobody justin you can't tell nobody because all they want to do is know your business but fess up to god god i messed up i turned my back on you you was good to me things were going good in my life but i got to going down easy street and i messed up lord i'm sorry professor professor watch this watch it watch it maturity is when when a person can start accepting responsibility for their own it is a mark of maturity when you stop blaming other people stop blaming other people and accept okay okay okay when moses was a baby it was okay for him to put that stuff on other up on other folks but when he was grown he had to take a step he had to get off of his mother's coattail maturity is more than just having birthdays can i say that again maturity is more than just having birthday you see you see you see you see you see oh good god almighty paul says when i was a child i spake as a child i understood as a child he said but when i became a man i put those childish things i ain't speaking to her childish childish childish he said when i became a tour i put some childish stuff what do you really need to put away come for me what do you need to put away see we can fool some of the people some of the time but that's somebody who's got an all-seeing eye that's watching you let me tell you something let me tell you something i don't know where we were at and somebody's here man don't be cussing like that in front of the preacher and i appreciate that i i really do i appreciate the respect but that'll not be just your regular vocabulary you press i'm trying i'm telling you it's tough it's toughest look look he said three things three things three facts about life three facts about life i gotta drop this in i gotta drop this in i can't live my life on other people's spirituality you can you you can't man ebony can't live her life on your spirituality ebony's got to have her own joyce got to have her own mary has to have her own you got to understand i can't live my life these are three facts about life i can't blame other people for the direction i'm going now society say it's the exact opposite it says that uh if i'm a failure that i'm a product of my environment that i totally disagree with that i totally disagree with that and then the third thing you got to understand i cannot i can can't nobody ruin my life but me okay nobody ruined my life but me i'm not gonna give you that much power over my life to ruin my life because can't nobody do it but me beloved if i'm going to rebound in life then i need to accept the responsibilities for my mistakes third thing we need to see if i'm going to rebound i have to make some priorities what really matters what's the most important thing in my life go back to hebrews 11 back in the text hebrews chapter 11 verse 26 if i'm going to rebound i need to settle the issue of what's most important beloved in verse 26 of hebrews chapter 11. he said esteeming the reproach of christ greater riches than the treasure in egypt he said for he had respect unto the recompense of reward he says he said he said his here's what i did here's what i did he said i took christ's life and i put it on this side of the scale i took the life i had in egypt and i put it on this side of the scale and i began to to weigh that thing out i i began to try to see which one he says now my reward as an egyptian paid good now but there's a reward that i receive later on that's in christ that's much greater than the reward i can receive now beloved i like the way the message says it the message says in verse 26 he valued suffering in the messiah's camp far greater than the egyptians wealth because he was looking ahead expecting a payoff see moses had that expecting faith a faith that is looking and waiting for a reward moses believed in the promises of god and it was important it was an important thing to hear man it was more important than pain it was more important than glitter look what he says in verse 15 go back to chapter two chapter two of exodus in chapter two of exodus he said but moses flee from the face of pharaoh he said i'm getting out of here man i know what you offered me but it's not worth it he flee from pharaoh you know that's that's just like that's just like and and this is why it was so hard in the white house many of those people cannot flee from the presence of donald trump you know but when you get in there and you see that this man is crooked and things are not right you say man look listen my integrity is more important than being in this white house moses says my integrity is far more than the luxury that i'm living now let me let me get ready to give you this last one man i like i like i like i like romans 8 i don't know if i put it up that list but in romans 8 verse number 18 he said for i reckon that the suffering of this pleasant of this present time is not far it's not it's not worthy to be compared with the glory that is going to be revealed in us he says man he says he said the payoff to pay off the word record means depend he said the suffering that that i'm going through now cannot be compared to what i'm going to receive when i get over that see the problem is we can't see over there we can't see but it's much it's much it's much greater uh uh uh uh jesus says i go to prepare a place for you and if i go to prepare a place i'll come back and receive you unto myself he said in my father's house that's many mansions revelation said that there are 12 gates to the city he says and the streets are paved with gold that look 14 carat necklace you have on don't mean to what you'll get when you get over there can i just drop the scene drop this in because i i really did did good on time look look look what he said but moses flee from the face and dwell in the land of media and he sat down by the well good god almighty don't miss this moses left luxury and he sat down by the whale to determine what was most important there's some good stuff moses evaluated each of what it had to offer and he evaluated what god had to offer the bible say he sat down by the whale to accept i don't mind sitting down by the well and waiting if i'm waiting for something some of us are moving so fast that we ought to just sit down sit down brit stop jumping from one career to another career sit down analyze it is it worth it i've got i've got i've got i've got a good friend of mine that that really wants me to go into business i'm gonna tell that i'll tell this one i took i took cause they listening and i don't wanna hurt nobody so i'm gonna tell this one i took a friend of mine to buy an automobile took him to buy automobile when i got there the general manager and i worked together at texas ford i got there sheila know how they do when i get out there to them i went out there with her he he said hey mr macaulay sterling he missed him a call he this is james glenn this is what i've been telling you about me and him went neck to neck every month every month selling cars we would say 25 30 40 calls a month so so the man said man i've heard a lot about you son i've heard a lot about you tino talks about me mean called mr such-and-such talk about you all the time all the time he talks about you all the time he says you know it's different now than when you were in the business he says but what i'd like to do is i'd like to offer you a job he says i'd like for you to come out here and train salespeople he said you can work monday tuesday and wednesday and then a half a day on saturday every other saturday and then he told me he said i'll pay you six or seven thousand dollars a month that's what he said i'll pay you six or seven thousand a month he said don't answer me now don't answer me now go home and talk to your wife i'll never forget it she was washing dishes and i said tino took me up to mr mccall's office and they offered me a job to train salespeople and she kept washing dishes and she said i said they offered me six or seven thousand dollars a month she looked at me and she said i hope you told him no i said i said huh she says i hope you told him no and i said why she says we've asked god for this ministry god has blessed you in this ministry you telling me you finna sell out to go back and she said you're going to sell out for the pleasure of the world than to dedicate your time and your effort to the kingdom of god and my conscience got the dealing with me got to dealing with me monday morning i couldn't wait to call i say tino i really appreciate the confidence that you had but i can't come before i did i said mom are you sure let me go watch this but we need to sit down and evaluate things a lot of us uh uh have christian lives today and we know the lord but we bought into the world system beloved uh things that that that that that can build our lives that's what we need to look at things that are important to us why the fact is that if we don't decide what's important to us the world will decide for us what's important to us get this y'all and i'm through uh the world system is this power and prestige i want to be famous pleasure i want to feel good i want to be happy i want to have fun and possessions i want to have a fortune i want i want to be wealthy moses had all three of them he had power he had pleasure and he had possessions and moses gave him up but moses knew what would it profit a man if he's to gain the whole world and then lose his soul what shall i give in exchange for my soul can i ask you what have you given in exchange for your soul then the last thing i want you to see as i close this is the issue of difficulties how much am i willing to commit to what i'm going to give for my life in in verse 27 of the text hebrews 11 27 by faith he forsook egypt not fearing the wrath of the king for he endured and seeing him who is invisible you see you must stay focused on god and his purpose for your life if you're going to rebound you're going to have to be persistent i don't mean no harm we start too many things on monday monday a.m and by monday p.m we've let them go i want to tell you this i want to tell you this i want to tell you this from the time god gave moses division the dream to set 400 people free from slavery 400 it and then lead them to the promised land it took them 20 years it took them 80 years here's what i want to ask you could you have waited that long of what you have given up if god if god had told you something was going to happen and it took 80 years would you stay focused he spent 40 years in midian just waiting on god just waiting on 40 years on the backside of about 40 years taking care of his father-in-law's sheep beloved beloved do you ever get tired of waiting on god watch this do you ever think that god has forgot about you beloved have you learned that the difference between no and not yet beloved have you learned that god delays is not god denials one of the strongest tests that we can have is waiting on god but i want to i want somebody to be honest with themselves today and i want them to say man i need to rebound i've been waiting i've been waiting and i've been waiting but i want to rebound today i want to rebound and i want to get back in the game i want to get back i've allowed satan to ease into my heart ease into my mind i don't even think the way i used to think lord i want to rebound i want to get back in my spiritual walk i want to have communion with you i want to have fellowship with you i want to give you my life i'm i'm tired i'm tired i'm burdened because i've been too busy worried about my own self until i'm not worried about you god will you accept me type in the chat i want to rebound i want to rebound just put i need to rebound if i've been talking you put it put it in i want to pray i want to pray now but then i want to pray for you throughout the week if you put your name in your city your state or wherever you might be say lord give me the strength that i need because i want to get back in the game you've been too good to me you've crossed me over bridges you've made a way over no way a lot of the reason why i'm where i am today not because i've done everything right but because you kept blessing me and look like the more you bless me the more i slipped away you delivered me from alcohol and now i'm slipping back with a wine cooler rebound let it go let it go cause that's how it starts how do you know i've been there i ain't telling you what somebody told me i've been there if you've put it in the chat i want to pray right now i want to pray lord i don't know who i'm talking to but you know they've expressed that they need to rebound from some things and they're not bad people they don't do a whole bunch of bad stuff but their relationship with you is not where it ought to be they've allowed the pandemic the loss of job or the loss of income to cause them to put their trust in something else today kind master will you allow them to rebound and get back in the spiritual walk with god will you elevate them and bring them up let them know that you love them let them know that if you can use moses you can certainly use every one of us and then lord allow my own life to rebound that i might be stronger closer walk daily with you forgive me of anything that's not pleasing to you and then lord take me mow me make me shake me into the preacher you want me to be not the one i want to be oh god touch every person in the sound under the sound of my voice everyone that's in the chat will you have mercy today will you move in a mighty way and we'll be very careful to give you praise honor and glory and all of god's children said amen i want to extend to you an invitation i want to extend your invitation if you're not a child of god then you ought to be you ought to be god has a formula that that puts us into christ the bible say he that believeth in his baptize shall be saved beloved you can be a good person but you have not yet met the requirements to be to be a part of god's kingdom to be a part of his body i pray now that you would believe and trust in god for the bible says for all the children of god by faith for as many po boy has been baptized into christ has put on christ will you put him on today will you call me and say preacher i'd love for you to pray with me privately where you just will you do what you need to do in order in order to to rebound and get your life back in one of the things and i promise you i'm through one of the things about rebounding is you have to get the right position you have to block out some stuff can i tell you you don't have to be the tallest man but if you get the right position and block out some stuff if you block out some of us need to block out some stuff you need to get the position where they can't get around to get your position and then you wait till your time come rebound and get back in the game you've heard this word will you believe it with all of your heart repent of your sin confess the sweetest name on martial tongue lord and then be baptized for the remission of your sin if you're there and you need
