>> SOMETIMES, GOD TELLS YOU TO TURN TO THIS CORNER. YOU BETTER TURN. I REMEMBER ONE TIME, I GOT IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WAY. SOMETHING TOLD ME, "DON'T GO THIS WAY THIS MORNING" AND I WENT. I GOT HIT, MY CAR. GOD KNOWS WHERE HE WANTS YOU LOCATED. SO, THE WOMAN TOOK THE BABY AGAINST THE LAW AND PLACED HIM IN THE BUSH AND HIS SISTER, MIRIAM, WAS SUPPOSED TO WATCH HIM UNTIL THE EDICT WAS OVER AND THE KILLING WAS FINISHED. THAT WAS THE PROGRAM. THAT WAS THEIR IDEA. BUT GOD'S IDEA WAS HE GOT TO GET THIS BOY IN THIS CASTLE. 'CAUSE THIS KID'S GOT TO LEARN THE ALPHABET. HE GOT TO GO TO SCHOOL. HE GOT TO LEARN TO READ AND WRITE. WHY? 'CAUSE ONE DAY, I GOT TO TELL HIM, "RIGHT." BY THE WAY, THAT'S WHY YOU NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL, YOUNG PEOPLE. GOD LOVES EDUCATION. [APPLAUDING] GOD WANNA USE YOU BUT IF YOU CAN'T COMMUNICATE AND DOCUMENT AND ARTICULATE, THEN GOD WILL USE YOU BUT NOT AS EFFECTIVELY AS HE COULD. AND SO, MOSES WAS HIDDEN IN THIS BASKET. HERE COMES THE PRINCE-- THE DAUGHTER, THE PRINCESS, SHE HEARS THE BABY CRYING. SHE GOES, CHECKS IT OUT. DOESN'T KNOW WHO THE BABY IS OR WHO IT BELONGS TO. AND SHE DECIDES THAT SHE LIKES THE BABY. YOU KNOW, GOD'LL MAKE YOUR ENEMY LIKE YOU. EVERYBODY SAY, "FAVOR." >> FAVOR. >> THEY ARE PEOPLE IN THE BANK WHO GOT TO GIVE YOU THINGS THIS YEAR AND THEY DON'T LIKE YOU. AND GOD CAUSED HER TO HAVE FAVOR TOWARD THIS BOY. MIRIAM STEPPED OUT OF THE BUSH AND SAYS, "MA'AM, I'D BE HAPPY TO SERVE AS YOUR NANNY, YOUR NURSE FOR THE BABY." SHE DOESN'T KNOW THAT THIS IS MOSES' SISTER. AND SO, THE PRINCESS SAYS, "FINE." SO, SHE TAKES THE BABY HOME AND TAKES MIRIAM WITH HER AND INTRODUCES THE BABY TO HER FATHER. AND HER FATHER, OF COURSE, GOD CAUSING THEM FAVOR WITH THIS BABY. WHAT IS GOD DOING? PREPARING FOR EDUCATION. AND IT SAYS THAT PHARAOH ADOPTED THE BOY AS HIS OWN. WOW. BY THE WAY, LET ME JUST SAY THIS AND THIS HAS BEEN ON MY MIND THE OTHER DAY. THERE'S SOME OF YOU WHO'VE BEEN TRYING TO HAVE CHILDREN. THIS HAS BEEN ON MY MIND STRONGLY THE OTHER DAY. AND I WANT TO TELL YOU AS A PASTOR THAT IF YOU HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING AND TRYING TO HAVE CHILDREN AS A MARRIED COUPLE AND NOTHING'S BEEN PRODUCTIVE AT THE MOMENT. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONSIDER ADOPTION 'CAUSE GOD USED PHARAOH AND AN ADOPTED BABY TO CHANGE THE WORLD. BEING A PARENT IS NOT THE SAME AS BEING A MOTHER, A BIOLOGICAL MOTHER AND FATHER. DO YOU KNOW THAT--LISTEN CAREFULLY, I'M GOING TO SAY SOMETHING VERY HEAVY. DO YOU KNOW THAT MOSES' MOTHER AND FATHER COULD NOT PREPARE HIM FOR THE MINISTRY? I BELIEVE THERE'S A BABY SOMEWHERE IN HOSPITAL WHO IS NOT WANTED BY THEIR PARENTS BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS, GOD KNOWS, CANNOT PREPARE THEM FOR THEIR VISION. AND MAYBE YOU NEED TO ADOPT THAT CHILD. MOSES' MOTHER AND FATHER COULD NOT READ NOR WRITE, AND GOD NEEDED A MAN WHO COULD WRITE THE FIRST FIVE BOOK OF THE BIBLE AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND THE LAWS OF GOD AND THE HYGIENE LAWS. AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL LAWS THAT WE USE IN OUR GOVERNMENTS TODAY WERE WRITTEN BY A MAN WHO WAS EDUCATED BY AN ADOPTED PARENT. AND MOSES GREW UP IN THE HOUSE OF PHARAOH, THE BIBLE SAYS, AND HE HERE--BUT MOSES SAYS, "AND HE WAS WISE IN THE WAYS OF THE EGYPTIANS." WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? HE WAS EDUCATED. THE BIBLE SAYS, "HE ALSO ATTENDED THE SCHOOLS OF THE EGYPTIANS AND BECAME," LISTEN TO THE WORDS, "WELL LEARNED IN THE WAYS OF THE EGYPTIANS." THAT MEANS MOSES--OBVIOUSLY IF YOU'RE PHARAOH'S SON, YOU'RE GOING TO GET NOT JUST EDUCATION, YOU'RE GOING TO GET WHAT? THE BEST EDUCATION. SO, MOSES--LOOK AT HOW GOD SET THIS GUY UP. HE IS A HEBREW. HE IS THE ENEMY. EVERYBODY SAY, "FAVOR." >> FAVOR. >> DON'T YOU FEEL IT COMING ON YOU? THIS YEAR, SOME THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU THAT WAY. AS A MATTER OF FACT, YOU'RE GOING TO BE BLESSED IN CONDITIONS WHERE IT MAKES NO SENSE TO YOU NOR THE PERSON WHO'S BLESSING YOU. ANYBODY WANT TO RECEIVE THAT KIND OF BLESSING? IT AIN'T GOING TO MAKE NO SENSE. AND HERE'S PHARAOH EDUCATING HIS DESTROYER. YOU KNOW, I LIKE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. THE BIBLE SAYS, "ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE DUG PITS FOR YOU SHALL FALL IN THEM THEMSELVES." CAN I GET AN AMEN? THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE PLANNING YOUR DESTRUCTION. THIS IS THE YEAR FOR YOU TO LAUGH. RELAX ON THE JOB AND YOUR BUSINESS IN THE BUSINESS WHERE PEOPLE ARE DOING STUFF TO TRY AND WORK AGAINST YOU. DON'T--DON'T WORRY ABOUT THIS THING. TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR, "I'M A SETUP BABY." NOW, SAY IT LIKE YOU BELIEVE IT, "I'M A SETUP BABY." I MEAN I'M SO DESIGNED FOR SUCCESS THAT EVEN MY ENEMY FEEDS ME. [SPEAKING IN TONGUES] I MEAN I'M SO--I'M SO WIRED TO SUCCEED THAT MY ENEMY SUPPORTS ME. I BELIEVE SOME OF YOU ARE WORKING FOR PEOPLE WHO'S JOB YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE. DON'T BE AFRAID OF THAT. THAT'S GOOD. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO YOU WORK FOR WHO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BECOME THE LEADER OF.
