just the family of god that has always uh been kind to us through the years and i'm just so appreciative to your pastor why don't we open up our bibles to the book of psalms uh chapter 78 um i uh pray that people were blessed this morning and you know i want to build on that with this message and i'm not going to be as poetic or anything like that but there is a direction that god has laid on my heart uh that i pray that it'll be a blessing to you uh psalm chapter 78 and uh and verse 32. psalm chapter 78 and verse 32 the psalmist is rehearsing uh the people of god um coming out of uh egyptian bondage and rehearsing the history of israel rehearsing when they were coming out of the wilderness and just rehearsing the whole history of israel and just the patterns that happened between them and their relationship with god psalm chapter 78 and verse 32 for all this they send still and believe not for his wondrous works therefore their days that he consume in vanity and their years in trouble when he slew them then they sought him and they returned and inquired early after god and they remembered that god was their rock and the high god their redeemer nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth and they lied unto him with their tongues for their heart was not right with him neither were they steadfast in his covenant but he being full of compassion forgave their iniquity and destroyed them not yea many a time turned his anger away and did not stir up all his wrath for he remembered that they were but flesh a wind that passeth away and cometh not again how oft did they provoke him in the wilderness and grieve him in the desert yea they turned back and tempted god and limited the holy one of israel they remembered not his hand nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy how he had wrought his signs in egypt and his wonders in the field of zoan i'll draw my thought out of verse 41 where the bible states in the wilderness that they turned back and tempted god and limited the holy one of israel i want to talk to you on that subject this evening breaking the limitations breaking the limitations why don't you clap your hands to the lord [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] praise god amen you may be seated in the presence of the lord breaking the limitations i uh traveling during the pandemic was very interesting i flew throughout the entire 2020 i was on 220 flights last year uh about 200 000 miles in the sky flying in march when no one was flying to give perspective in march 2019 uh march 19 2019 they said there was 2.9 million airline passengers march 19th 2020 there was a hundred eighty thousand uh the airlines were impacted they were hurting i was in the airport literally by myself an orlando airport not a single passenger going through security uh there was 12 lines i always go through tsa pre-check you know where you just skip the line and so there's 12 lines and tsa pre-check is over there i walked to tsa pre-check they looked at me like they saw a ghost they're like what are you doing i said oh i'm just just about to fly they said did you not see the 12 empty lines over there i said oh man i didn't you know how you do something all the time you don't even think about it like oh my my bad man my bad and they're like what are you traveling for like they're like man they're like scared to you know this was march you know what are you traveling for so you know gotta go help some people you know you know because you know the healthcare workers were traveling and stuff like that you know they're they're caring for physical health i got some spiritual issues i got to take care of man amen amen and so uh and so i'm on the flight with like you know uh the the pilots and like you know five flight attendants you know one healthcare worker nobody saying nothing go to connect in charlotte nobody's in the airport in charlotte see like one other person and it's like you don't even wave you just you know it was like survival of the fittest i don't know what i mean you know you didn't even smile if you smiled like it was a contrary atmosphere to to smile because it's almost like you're yelling if you smile it's almost like you're sending out like it's almost like someone will rebuke you like hold on what are you smiling for and so it's just like you just kind of you didn't even talk when you paid for stuff you just it was serious it was intense atlanta the largest airport in the nation there wasn't even 300 people there it was empty no one the intercom wasn't even on they didn't say anything over the intercom every now and again they just say six feet six feet six feet it was eerie it was so eerie it was so odd that i fly through orlando all the time i know uh my uh the gate agents uh there for american airlines you know they they've been checking in my son you know since since he was like a newborn like they've been checking them and they watched him you know my son is five years old he's been on over 500 flights he's got executive platinum with american airlines and so they know him they're like this is our youngest executive of platinum they love james asher he's got his backpack on you know i've got my briefcase he's got his like nintendo switch in the hand you know and his briefcase you know he's just looking like that and uh but seeing all of that i fly through orlando all the time and it was interesting when you when i went across the tram uh going to the gate this is the first i fly through this airport all the time i literally saw an alligator walking across the airfield literally i was like what is going on with this world and i almost thought to myself is the rat did the rapture take place and it's just me and the alligator left behind i didn't you know i was getting nervous man like i'm like it's a random alligator like the animals were just coming out like they were like they're like man the humans are gone they they're probably having news conferences you know humans are extinct you know two two weeks didn't see nobody and while i'm flying all the time and going i'm looking out the window flying across the united states you notice some similarities and i noticed that everything when i'm looking out the sky i look down everything in north america is built in squares everything i don't care where i am it's just square it's the building square the land square it's an open field and they split it off in squares so farmland squares then i started thinking i'm like wow we got square inches square centimeters square meters square root i'm like it's square everything you want you look for direction they say go down the block everything's square and i thought to myself subtly it sends a message to us to only think within the confines of the box do not think beyond think within the confines of the square everything is is regimented and if you start thinking or doing things outside of the box outside of the limitations you will get crucified because like who do you think you are for believing that you can do better than the box that says you can do so there's a subtle message of timidity to to not venture beyond to not try to reserve to stay timid and if it doesn't fit in the box then you cannot do it and there is a limitation that comes upon us and with these limitations of living life and squares and square roots and and blocks with that the culture begins to praise mediocrity greatness is crucified but mediocrity is elevated we it's up though how how we cry over mediocrity for instance an athlete will say thank god that my mom was there my whole life um i thought that was the responsibility of a mother i thought that's what comes with having children but people are crying yeah you're almost there we get emotional and cry over common things i thank god that my dad he provided for us and they're like uh i thought that was the responsibility of a father it's nothing special for a mom and dad to provide for their kids that goes with the responsibility of having children but the culture is so decadent and so downtrodden mediocrity has become supernatural now it's a miracle to stay married come on come on somebody come on somebody y'all been married five years yeah my god yeah oh you're something else man y'all y'all that's a we we we begin to listen to things like this like like talking about a preacher they'll say let me tell you something about this preacher they are a real christian i thought that was the basic requirement for being a preacher oh watch this let me tell you how special they are here it is they pray isn't that like what a christian is like supposed to do but we get praise for doing the basics we get praise for doing the limited amount come on somebody and if anyone goes beyond is like hey what you what you doing what you doing being special [Music] whoa whoa whoa you prayed too long the minimum was 30 minutes now here you are lingering in the altar you pray in three hours we got to close the lights on what's up with you i'm on somebody there's limitations that are in your mind subtly everywhere that you go that sends messages because of this wonderful culture and christianity is not enough to be separated from the world holiness is more than being separated from the world the bible says you have to be holy unto the lord so it's not enough to just not be separated from the world there has to be a separated unto god so so so if you define your christianity by being separate from the world then if this is the world and god is here and you're right here yes you're separated from the world but you are far from where you're supposed to be and then as the world gets worse then you could i i'm still separated from the world and as the world gets worse i can't measure my holiness and separation by the world alone i got to look at the world and as the world is there i gotta say you know what i'm getting closer there has to be there has to be a when you start walking and breaking those types of limitations you you you will get crucified uh matthew 27 37 matthew 27 37 and i'm going somewhere can i take my time amen look matthew 27 37 i want you to look at this i love the bible the bible ah it's amazing it's it's alive it's it's crazy it's like it grows up with you seriously seriously i it's it's amazing you know it and it does it does grow it's alive it grows up with you it's like those kids when they quote scriptures you know they quote scriptures and the quote scriptures like uh children are as the arrows of the lord blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them now when you're doing bible quizzing and you know second and third and fourth great you're quoting it you know the scripture but you can't relate to that but as you get older and all of a sudden you're 75 and you got 15 grandkids and you read that same scripture there's a witness in your spirit see you can always know it but there's something about when you grow up in him that that thing begins to minister where you are and and whatever part of the journey of life that you are on uh jesus look what they say about jesus when he's crucified listen to this and they set up over his head his accusation written this is jesus the king of the jews hold on one second he was accused and guilty and penalized watch this for being him this was his accusation what did he do wrong it's jesus the king of the jews it was a crime to be him oh he broke he broke a limitation they said if you're the christ you know he said tell us if you're the christ or not he goes thou says they said this is blasphemy what are you doing it's blasphemous to be you and the only way for him to get along with them was to deny who he was and deny his identity because if he confessed that he was what he was they said we got a cross waiting on you and on the cross they said if you be the king of israel come off the cross where the only way to please them was to step out of the will of god the only way to please them was to get out of his assignment but he stayed on the cross and when he stayed on the cross the bible says that when he gave up the ghost that the rail was rent from top to bottom and the bible says that there was an earthquake that happened and things began to happen and all of a sudden after this centurion saw the effects of his sacrifice he said truly this is the son of god the only thing that will convince a broken world is the effects of a cross the effects of a sacrifice but we have to go beyond the limitations that have been set on us by our culture friedrich nietzsche who was and famous atheist philosopher his father was a lutheran pastor he lived in the late 1800s he died in 1900 and but he wrote in a book called will to power an atheist philosopher he said this describing the european culture the european society he was a german philosopher and he described the culture this way he said the concepts of abortion and evolution has caused our society to believe that life has no value look what he says he says so as a result we will create a fictitious world to get our value from this is an atheist philosopher there's no politics in what he's saying this is an atheist philosopher doesn't believe in god but he says the concepts of abortion and evolution in our society has caused us to believe that life has no value so we will create a fake world to get our value from that's the internet that's social media that's television he said that long before it came out but he said but because we see no value in this world we will create a fake world to get our value from i asked somebody the other day has anyone here ever seen a physical blue thumb coming like everything that you do has anyone here ever seen a physical blue thumb just come here you like it brother great worship doing good keep it up you're like thank you blue thumb thank you bluther has anyone here ever seen a physical red heart just coming i hurt you i hurt you go ahead lift up those hands a little higher you've never seen it but watch this so why do you get your self-esteem on something that doesn't exist [Applause] why do you get depressed come on by something that doesn't even exist and the world keeps changing the value system what are you going to do in five years when they come out with now you need stars on your post and now you get a thousand hearts but you're like bro you're just getting hearts get five thousand blue thumbs like saying they're like what is that bro where's your stars in come on somebody you are never designed to get your value out of a worldly system you have value because you have been created by god come on somebody and you are made in the image of god come on holy ghost but but what happens is what happens is you take a picture you get all dressed up come on somebody you get all dressed up with your picture you pose and you're like what are you what do you think that you're like man man man you look good and your dad says man you look you look awesome man you look great so you're like okay yeah i'm gonna go post it on social media here i go in 30 minutes you got two likes and you're like i might need to delete this thing come on sir and and you start thinking you know you know what it probably ain't that good i only got two likes but the father said that you've been beautifully and wonderfully made and i don't care what a media age tells you that you are come on somebody you gotta start looking at yourself through the lens of the father this culture is designed to make you limit yourself limit your abilities and that was the problem with the children of israel in the wilderness because in one day they were in egypt for 430 years and in one day the bible says they came out of egypt by their armies y'all gonna make me run in here 430 years they were slaves but in a single day they were delivered and he said they came out by armies the the head baker became the head general what is your military experience uh i baked bread it's been in my family for four generations and that's what we do but what do you do oh i used to wash pharaoh's sandals but you know the motion of washing i think i could thrust the sword i think and one day they had a complete different identity and it is tough to believe that you are destined for greatness when you've been so long in a world that has been designed to limit your capacity on what you could do and it was tough for them to get over this so after they come out of egypt they're in the wilderness god says go in and possess the land and when they go in to possess the land they go in they want to spy out the land first god says go possess it we say let me look at it god says go possess it it's yours you're like let me do a little bit of research here god says i'm calling you to do great things let me see how that turned out let me let me watch a little bit they and they spy out the land spy out the land they see the grapes the milk and honey listen but they saw the giants in the land and the bible says when they saw the giants they came back with an evil report and they said there's giants in the land look what they said and we saw ourselves as grasshoppers and they limited themselves watch this and they didn't realize when they were limiting themselves they were limiting god they were limiting what god wanted to do through them and how we see ourselves either releases the hands of god in our situation or it holds his hands back and he says i want to do so much in your family but you think you're insignificant you think you're nothing you think you can never be great and how you see yourself and how you limit yourself the bible says they limited the holy one of israel my god so you don't think it's a big deal how you see yourself but it is a big deal because if you see yourself as not conquering the land if you see yourself as not able to overcome if you see yourself of not destined for great things they limited the holy one of israel they limited the holy one of israel we've got to get a revelation deuteronomy 6 23 states it this way he said i brought you out from hence to bring you in what was he saying he said i brought you out of egypt to bring you in to the promised land watch this and i would have never delivered you out of egypt if i didn't already have a promised land ready for you to possess he said i would have left you in sin if i didn't have a promise waiting on you that i wanted you to possess and the very fact that you have been delivered from the world is the very assurance you need and there is a promise that is waiting for you that he wants you to grab [Music] hallelujah he said i brought you out that i might bring you in god would have left me playing college basketball if he didn't have a promise waiting for me that he wanted me to possess and the very fact that i was born again of the water and of the spirit is the very assurance that i need that i'm gonna get everything that god has designed for me and the very fact that you have been delivered from the hands of the world is the very fact that god has something for you that he wants you to go after but but but you got to stop looking at yourself here it is through the lens of history i got to minister someone please stop talking about your past all the time you only see yourself through the lens of the past my here's my question where are you going well you know god delivered me and i used to do i praise the lord where you going well you know i came out and i used to be addicted and i understand that i thank god for that but the question where are you going because the very fact that you are out means that there is a promise that god is waiting for you to go after that is greater than anything that you could ever imagine you got to start speaking to your future isn't it amazing that for the past we see vividly for the future it's great we can take you back six six years ago i was here i was there you drive every time yeah i used to do that i used to do that i used to do that and i was like where you going you're like god god gonna use me [Music] very specific about your history very general about your future come on somebody come on holy i'm talking to you right now i'm ministering to somebody right right now you you got to start prophesying about where you're headed you got to start prophesying that god has great things in store for you you've got i'm telling you he would not have brought you out if he did not intend to bring you in uh deliverance is not just you coming out deliverance is unto oh god i feel like preaching that it's not enough to just be delivered from but you gotta get delivered too come on somebody and he will never deliver you out of it if he wasn't in the process of delivering you to us [Music] when he brings you out he's sending you on a path to something but there's too many people here that are stuck in route wow come on you ever ordered a package on amazon amazon prime member come on ho you order it you expect it in 19 hours and 43 minutes come on somebody and you order it and two days pass you show up to your house come on somebody and that package ain't there you go to typing on and it says enroute a few days later pass you still see en route hold on it was supposed to be delivered to a destination by now but it's in route i bought it i paid for it i invested in it but it's stuck in root and god is looking at you saying i bought you i'll pay for you i have invested in you not for you to die in roof [Applause] come on somebody there is a calling there is a destiny there is an anointing there is a future that we need to start pursuing hallelujah amen and stuck in root you think and if you stay in root that that package could get lost and when you can't find something of god to pursue and invest in all that's left is to go back all that's left is to go back and that's many can i give you that's many of your struggles you haven't been persuaded of your new identity you haven't been persuaded of what's coming so because you can't get fixated on the promise that is before you the past keeps calling you back and so you're enroute come on and you're in the wilderness you're like you're like you keep looking through the lens of the past and and hebrews states if they had been mindful of that country which they came out of they might have had opportunity to return i mean if they'd have kept thinking on abraham if he'd have kept thinking on where he came from long enough there would have been opportunities for him to go back to where he came from what would happen if we got mindful of the future and if our mind got full of the future there will be opportunities to walk in step and invest in the future i come to tell you get your gaze off of what is behind you and get your eyes set on what is ahead of you and what is before you is greater than what is behind you and you're not going to be defined by what is behind you anymore you're gonna be defined by what is ahead of you come on somebody it's time to let the past be the past and it's time to walk in the anointing and in the power can i tell you the tactic of the enemy can i tell you the tactic of the enemy why are you still repenting over something you did before you was baptized you still feel guilty every time you come into prayer god forgive me for what i did three years ago and you know god that wasn't the devil's like got him wow you're still talk about yeah i still you know i still you know i still feel guilty for uh have you been baptized jesus name yeah but let that thing be washed away you have a bright future i'm telling you you were meant for more to just surviving enroute and when you're in survival mode you know they started doing they said man we sure missed the cucumbers we had in egypt when you're surviving in root and you haven't gotten persuaded of destiny you start thinking of the good old days in the world [Music] because that's all you come on that's the that's that's all you talk about you know that's all you think about that like like you're not persuaded of what's coming so you just keep thinking of what's behind you you're like yeah i remember when i used to do that man i was crazy you started reaching out to old context hey hey remember when and of old context they think oh this is an opportunity for you to come back then they they go you give them an inch they take a whole mile yeah no i was just calling why'd you i was just calling because i was a little lonely and they're like well why don't you come over and why don't we go do what we used to do you're like hold on i wasn't expect i wasn't expecting all that but the devil was looking for any window to get back in and that's what the devil wants to do he wants to keep your mind limited on who you are and what you're you think you're insignificant that's a lie from the devil it's a lie god has this church on the on his radar the god is wanting to use you for his kingdom god is wanting to use you to reach lost family members he's wanting to use you to reach this community he's wanting to use you to make a difference in this world if god if i would have limited myself by my history i wouldn't be who i am where i am what i am today you got to understand i was raised in an abusive household my stepdad beat me for the first 11 years of my life i babbled until i was five years old my mom had to send me to a speech therapist for a year at five to teach me how to talk because i could not speak until after i went to speech therapy for a year because of the trauma that i had endured in my life first 11 years traumatized victim emotional abuse manipulation and if i when i got saved if i would have kept the limbs on my life that they put on me come on come on somebody how to live my whole christian experience as a victim but something began to happen when i begin to yield to his presence when i began to open his word and i began to see myself how he ordained and created me to be and i read as he said before i formed you in the belly i knew you and i ordained you you're not defined by the external circumstances and pain and trauma and addictions that you have faced in your life he said you are defined by what i have called you to be and all of a sudden as i began to get persuaded of the vision of god that he showed me in the scriptures my mind began to be transformed i was transformed by the renewing of my mind and all of a sudden instead of walking like a victim everywhere i began to square my shoulders i begin to walk in a confidence of god i begin to walk as a son of jesus christ come on somebody i'll begin it's time for you to get a vision of what god has created you to be and when you get that vision you're gonna break every limitation that has come on hallelujah hallelujah praise god oh lord oh just lift up your hands for a moment and ask god to give you a vision [Music] oh [Music] oh [Music] praise god i remember after i was in church for a few months and uh it was right after a year i was in church and you know i gave up my college basketball career and gave up my scholarships i remember i gave i given it up it was over a few months it passes i give it up i'm done with basketball everybody knows that i'm done there was a friend of mine we went to a service somewhere and this friend of mine introduced me and said hey this is victor the basketball player and after that meeting was over we were in the car riding back i said hey don't ever introduce me as a basketball player again he said huh i said that's my old life so that's my old life and i'm leaving that behind and i don't want you to keep on bringing up what i used to be can i can i grow hallelujah when someone brings up your history all the time here's what you need to ask them what about my future what do you see they're going to look at you dumbfounded like you have a future what do you see that i can become come on somebody i had to tell them because i could see where that narrative was leading they were going to try to keep that over me for [Music] he's the basketball player i'm i'll be 15 years in church yeah yeah he's a basketball player that's the extent of my life come on somebody this was this was the drug addict that's the extent of my life what what happened come on somebody that's the that's the you gotta let the narrative just be over yeah things are a part of your testimony yeah you bring it out but always bring out your testimony with a futuristic context i was this now i'm this and in the future i'm this you've got to break the limitations and uh you are so am i even helping anybody here i uh my word i got so much more i want to tell y'all you know i preach with a timer and three minutes over you know for the first 30 minutes it's green when it gets to 35 minutes it turns orange that's a warning at 40 minutes it turns red that means you need to close now but it's it's been red for like three minutes but man i y'all so hungry i just want to talk a little bit praise god amen i'm like i'm not gonna i'm not gonna keep you too much longer but i'm also not gonna say can i have five more minutes and then that five minutes pass and i say can i have five more minutes and then i have five minutes can i have five more minutes no i'm not going to do that but i want to share with you the impact that one life can have one holy ghost filled life there's no difference between me and you we both have the holy ghost we're both children of god nothing special about me the only thing that's special about it all of us is that we have taken on his name his blood has been applied to our life we have the holy ghost and for some reason i felt led in my spirit to talk about when you when you start breaking the limitations off of your life how it helps you to help others break their limitations off of their life and if the enemy can just get one to be limited he can limit thousands and millions i december 2019 i uh the lord had me go on a period of silence he said victor i don't want you to release a uh inspirational video i don't want you to do an instagram live i don't want you to do a pod cast i don't want you to release any of your books i just want you to just be quiet i know you can you can write post inspirational posts every now and again but i just want you to be quiet december 2019 i didn't know how long that would last i thought it would last about you know 10 15 years i just obey god you know i just obey god and i don't know how long it's gonna last well then march came and the whole world shut down and the only way to get a message out was through a video through a live through a podcast through a book and god said victor i don't want you to say anything and so i yielded to it and then in may george floyd died and it caught up our whole nation in a time of incredible division and god was having me on a silence but i literally had to watch my world to get broken in pieces come on somebody as there was the vision as there was just just an all-out chaos in the world i woke up that friday morning after six months on silence and the lord spoke to me said victor you're released it's time and i was like are you sure lord you know i don't play with god you know are you are you tempted me god he said you're released you're released to do something about it so i went into my office i recorded a 20-minute message to the world and then when i was done the lord said that ain't it i was like god because you told me before i sweat him i deleted the video went on instagram live tried to talk to some people the lord said delete that instagram live that's not it i went back into my bedroom because i literally felt depression come on me because i'm watching the world that jesus christ died for and an uproar and it broke my heart i stayed under the covers for about six hours just weeping depressed because i didn't know what to do and could one person make a difference in this type of environment after six hours of just weeping and crying and depressed the lord spoke to me he said victor why don't you go there why don't you go to minneapolis where all the chaos is happening and i want you to preach christ right there did anybody see that video of me going down there remember the whole world shut down you know people weren't having church services when i went down there i the earliest flight i could find was out of atlanta because the flights were limited due to covet atlanta's six hours from where i live the earliest flight out was about eight eight o'clock 8 45 from atlanta to direct flight to minneapolis i booked the flight and when i booked the flight i felt that depression lift off of my shoulders i called my pastor i said pastor god wants me to go to minneapolis to preach christ to these people that i could be a voice of unity a voice of love a voice of togetherness in this hour he said i said i will not go without your permission i said if you tell me no i'll delete these flights and he said no victor the handle of the lord's on you go hung up the phone got in the car at 12 30 in the morning i drove six hours to atlanta literally feeling the power of god on me when i got there flew got a rental car in minneapolis the place where the tragedy happened was 24 minutes from the minneapolis airport i drove there i was expecting to pray for one or two people just pray for a few people i just had a burden but when i got there there was well over 20 000 people in those streets the streets were just overwhelmed with people everywhere just on the that block people were everywhere as soon as i got out of the car within 30 seconds somebody was walking by and i just said hey i'm here from florida i'm just coming to pray for minneapolis do you have a prayer request they say yeah can you pray for this and that and right there in the street i said god i'm praying that you would do this for her i pray that there would be peace i pray for about a hundred people just like that just prayer requests no preachers were in the streets they were there were churches that were giving food uh to to the protesters and there was a billy graham van uh that they had uh brooms and dustpans because they were cleaning up a certain part of the city but there was no preaching in the streets finally i went up to the spot where the tragedy happened thousands of flowers all over the place and when i got up there somebody asked me how did it feel to go there i said the best way i could describe it is that it felt like they were waiting for me i didn't meet one ounce of resistance they were waiting for me they were like sheep without a shepherd wandering aimlessly looking for direction looking for hope i went there with the sole intention to pray for the protesters and play pray for the police officers and pray that there would be unity and love and that the love of jesus christ would make a difference so when i got there there was a guy there i said hey what's your name he said peter i said hey peter i'm about to pray over these people do you mind taking a video he said sure thank god he didn't steal my phone but i'm telling i was walking in such an anointing i believe he'd drop dead if he didn't try to run away with my phone i'm not kidding i'm not kidding or while he's running it it disappeared in his hand and been in my hand that's the type of anointing that i was walking and i was walking in a mission i got up i said hey can i have your attention said it loud you know expecting for nobody to really you know i didn't know what was gonna happen everybody looked at me oh wow i do have your attention hey and the holy ghost just began to speak to me i said hey we're gonna have prayer here i came for unity i came for love i came to there would be rest restoration i came all the way from florida that there would be a togetherness that we would overcome this together so does anybody believe that there's hope in minneapolis and they said yes i say clap your hands if you believe their hope it was like a pentecostal church service on the streets everybody started clapping they're like yeah amen i said why don't we all join together everybody join together i said everybody lift up your hands everybody

artist he shared the video and said i thank god for the united pentecostal church he said i thank god for victor jackson he's my hero he said what he just did that's what i'm going to do all of a sudden when i left the news reporters came into the spot that i prayed the day that i was there the national guard came in they had a mandatory curfew at 8 pm i had to get out on a flight before 8 o'clock because everything was shutting down the news reporters came the next day and when they came they came to the same spot that i prayed the spot that george floyd died and they said look at this
