and emotionally stand up for what you believe stand up for what god says and so we're going to read first peter chapter 5 verse number 7 if you could stand for the reading of god's word you should be accustomed those at home we believe that this is the word of the lord so we're going to stand and read and we're going to say from verse seven peter is talking he's a matured person who has been through a whole lot and he says in verse 7 casting all your care upon him why for he careth for you look over to your neighbor or find someone eye to eye and just says he cares for you be sober be vigilant because your adversary the devil we spoke about that is as a roaring lion walking about seeking whom he may devour in the midst of the attack he cares the bible says who resisted steadfastly the faith that means standing in your face look at someone say i gotta stand in my faith knowing that the same affliction are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world in other words everybody is going through the same thing but the god of grace who have called us onto his eternal glory by christ jesus after that you have suffered a while he'll make you perfect it will establish you you ain't going to go through all of this for nothing you're gonna be strengthened and you're going to be settled somebody say settled all right this is what i want you to do i want you to also so that i can cement my thoughts together in a way that will bring some clarity would you go to mark chapter 4 35 mark chapter 4 and from verse 35 it's a very well-known scripture and um or shall i say text scripture is really old testament it says here and the same day when the even was come he said unto them let's pass he says let us pass over onto the other side and when they had sent away the multitude they took him even as he was in the ship and there were also with him other little ships okay so there's an entourage of ships and verse 37 says and there arose a great storm of wind yeah and this is how the wind was so bad it says the waves were beating into the ship so that it was now full in other words waves were coming in until the boat began to look like it was full getting ready to sink verse 37 says and there was a great storm wind in there and the waves beat against the ship and so that it was now full verse 38 says and he was in uh in the part of the ship asleep on a pillow mark is being very descriptive here he's asleep on the pillar and they awake him and said unto him master care us down not that we perish remember we are told that jesus cares but they are feeling in this moment maybe jesus really don't care have you ever felt that way you all don't want to be honest master don't you see what's going on care is down up that we perish we're dying here and the bible says if you rose and rebuke the wind i want you to catch this because i'm going somewhere today and set on to the sea hush your mouth just peace be still and the bible says the wind ceased and there was a great calm and he said unto them why are you so fearful hold on a minute we're about to drown here and you're asking me why am i so fearful how is it that you have no faith oh there's a faith challenge here and then after they saw what happened they went into another level of fear there was the first fear they had the fear of the waves fear of drowning look at the next level of fear and they feared exceedingly this is another level of fear what matter of man is this that the wind and the sea obey him hold on a second all right we wanted your help we asked for your help and now you helped us we're like whoa what kind of man is this what kind of man is this that even the whole of the atmosphere the whole of the weather obeys him oh i love reading the bible i'm blessed just by reading it i ain't preached yet uh-huh what kind of man is this what are we dealing with now now you get you delivered you're frightened again some people are frightened to be delivered you know you want to get delivered you're frightened of what you're in and when you get delivered you're frightened of being in it you're frightened how he delivered you you know i don't want to tell you how you get frightened you're like oh this ain't gonna last are you with me on this let's look at it one more time the bible says verse 38 he was on the hindu part of the ship asleep on a pillar and they had to wake him up and ask him master cares down not that we perish i want to talk to you on the subject today join him on the pillow look at your neighbor if you can and type it in the chat if you can't uh look at somebody say it like you got some life say join him on the pillow join them on the pillar you might not understand me but hang with me it's gonna make sense father i need you now that the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable give us a word that will change our life today let burdens be removed yokes be destroyed in the name of yeshua the christ the son of the living god someone say amen ah on your way looking down to somebody on your way sitting down should i say tell him join him on the pillow hallelujah thank you jesus thank you lord god is good all the time all the time is good [Applause] [Music] i'll give you peace when the storm is raging [Music] i'll be your light hallelujah when the road ahead seems dim [Music] i have the power that's what jesus says just put your trust in me anything you need have faith in me just ask hallelujah yes just ask [Music] hear my name oh just ask that's what the lord is saying just ask my name hallelujah yes lord [Music] am the lord that could shall buy you i can move on mountains i'll be your strength [Music] believe in my promise that's what he said i will take care of you anything you need have faith in me just ass he said just ass in my name oh just hallelujah just ask in my name all things are possible i'm able to do the impossible in my name he said oh come only [Music] before me just in my name oh i have got every problem [Music] just put your trust in me anything you need have faith believe just ask is anybody want to ask him today just ask hallelujah hear my name everybody say oh hallelujah oh oh just time yeah yeah yeah just out come on turn it around again in my name everybody say whoa whoa just had just hear my name somebody clap your hands and give him glory hallelujah just guys in my name there is power in the name of jesus deliverance in the name of jesus just kind of get gagged just yeah yeah just guys in my name clap your hands if you believe it believe it believe it just ask anything in his name the question is for a lot of us does the lord really care about us if we be honest sometimes we find ourselves in this place of asking the question does the lord really care does he care about my situation this is something that a lot of people have been speaking to me as a leader say bishop i don't know if god cares about me i don't know if he cares about my situation i don't care don't know if he cares about my sickness i've been praying to him i've been calling on him and instead of my situation gets better it looks like it's getting worse and the challenge is when i read the bible i am commanded and peter is telling us very clearly he says cast all your cares upon him in other words another translation says cast all your anxieties for he cares for you the word cast literally means to throw he's not even saying hand it to me he's saying throw it to me normally when you tell someone to cast something it means i'm getting ready to catch it are you with me on this cast all your cares cast all your anxiety and for us to do that remember we're talking about cares and anxieties it's talking about emotions our feelings all the things we're going through if we're supposed to cast all our cares on him there has to be a great level of trust yes got to be a great level of faith don't worry i'm going to preach in a minute to open up ourselves to someone to download all our cares and our anxieties somebody saying to me don't worry i can handle it you're literally saying basically i'm ready to hear your story i'm here ready to hear your situation and you can put it on me and because i care for you cast it cast it hallelujah here with the word casting all cares comes a word called expectation if he cares for me why don't he change my situation come on talk to me i'll just need your nod just say amen just look at me wave do something say chicken you know me jealous rice somebody said expectation whenever we're dealing with caring for someone it's always about expectation you know um right now i don't know if you know in the national health our national health seems to be gone down since the pandemic it wasn't that great before but since the pandemic i've been hearing a lot of people saying it's been very difficult you don't want to get sick now you don't want to really go to a hospital because you're expecting a level of care when you go to the hospital and the expectation is if i'm sick there ought to be a doctor i'm told you can be in the hospital for a whole week and no doctor comes to see you that's how bad it is now you'll get a nurse you might get not a doctor you might get a junior doctor that's one ain't qualified yet and the worst thing is you got an expectation that you're going to be cared for and when we're dealing with caring for someone with an expectation the care for someone is not always met the expectation is not always met that's what happened with the disciples when they were on the boat and the storm was coming uh in fact it wasn't just the storm ladies and gentlemen in fact we would call it a hurricane someone's a hurricane it's a hurricane phenomenon they say literally what they were dealing with was a hurricane phenomena that occurs when cool atmospheric watch this conditions produce cold winds that moves across a warm lake so what literally was happening there was a what they said an atmospheric condition a cool wind came and the lake was already warm and with that there was a collision of hot and cold coming together causing a disturbance in the atmosphere which produced a hurricane oh i could preach about that uh i can preach about that it's cold and it's hot yeah cold represents one season hot or warm represents another season i was preaching some time ago and i told you i didn't always like going to america when i used to go to america a lot i did not like going to america around september you know why because in america um they have what you call the summer season and it finishes around august and then come september is about the beginning of what they call the winter season and every time i got on the the plane i can guarantee around september time when i got on the plane i always hit what we call turbulence i'm in a plane and believe you me people don't believe this uh people are saying bishop how are you coping in the pandemic not flying anywhere says i'm glad to be home they're saying but don't you love flying i says you won't believe it i don't love flying i don't love flying i got scripture for it i've been telling you for years there's a scripture that tells me no i'm with you always that's what we're supposed to stay low so i'm on the plane and while i was on the plane the plane was like and i was like lord have mercy and you know because some of the people knew i was on the plane they were like oh bishop francis you're flying okay we're gonna be safe what kind of weight they put on me they're like saying we know everything's gonna be right because you're on the plane and i'm on the plane praying just like them because the thing went at one time the plane went right down and i heard the plane went bang i said jesus what did we hit and we didn't hit anything but what i found out is that they said it was an ear pocket and the air pocket is when a cold air and a hot air collides together and you're in between what you call a hot season and a cold season it's called a transition of seasons storms only come because you're about to step out of one season into an x [Music] i wish i had somebody to help me because you think it's the end of the world but god told me to tell you all the hell you're going through all the hurricane you're going through all the crazy stuff that's happening in your life i'm here to make an announcement you're about to cross over into another season [Music] somebody scream like you lost your mind this storm however i'm gonna preach i'm gonna shut down the devil give me a couple of minutes this storm was an unexpected hurricane and and here's the thing about it is that you're dealing with fishermen or should i say retired fishermen who were called disciples who jesus called they were originally fishermen and they were accustomed to storms they had to be as fishermen ask any fisherman they have to study when to go out how to deal with storms but you got to understand that they're in a situation that they've never been in before the bible says that the situation was so bad because the waves were beaten against the ship beating again i want you get the picture i'm preaching something the waves were beaten it weren't just hot it was beating against the ship until the ship was full of water this storm elderly was not it was not normal in fact if you read the text and carry on reading the story you'll find out that this storm was demonic or bishop how do you know that because when you carry on reading when they got to the other side there was a boy who was a demon possessed who was waiting for jesus and his words were cometh down to torment me before the time some of you don't realize oh god the storm you're about to deal with is because of where you're going and the next level of deliverance you're about to step into [Applause] do me a favor if you're if you if you got somebody in your room pull them like you pull them out and see say neighbor you're on your way somewhere yeah the devil don't fight just anybody he fights people who he knows that they have a destiny he knows that there's something about your destiny and if you had any sense you'd stop praising god even if you're in a storm [Applause] shakka tamah [Applause] there was a boy who was demon possessed he was so demonic that they had to chain him he was so demonic he was around tombs and the thought pattern of the demonic power was if we can stop jesus and the disciples we can stay in our territory but the bible says that the disciples were scared and fearful the storm was equivalent to a hurricane and and when we look at storms ladies and gentlemen when you think about it it's equivalent to disruptions in our life it's equivalent to chaotic things that happen in our life when we are dealing with a a storm a hurricane whenever a storm comes it causes damage it causes floods it cometh causes the loss of life and it is in that season here what peter is saying that the adversary the devil is like a roaring lion making noise showing something external to frighten you to make you think you're gonna die who am i preaching to because your situation looks dismal the devil keeps on telling you you ain't gonna live before the year ends i come to shut him down in fact you're not only gonna live but you're going to declare the works of the lord i wish i had somebody to scream at home scream in the building in fact jump and let the devil know you're still here my turbo hey it's a flood it's a storm audrey it's a storm it's a flood and then now because i'm seeing it this is what the devil he used his imagery to frighten me and now i'm frightened with the thing called fear and fear now watch this the paralyzing fear the fear that says you ain't gonna make it who am i preaching to the fear says this boat's going down the fear that says there's chaos around you there's things getting worse it's not getting better you're going to die you're not going to survive and that's what a lot of us if we can be very honest especially from last year to this year the devil has been speaking to preachers speaking to singers preachers and talking to evangelists and elders and pastors and ordinary people he's been talking to all of us and telling us this thing ain't gonna get better it's going to get worse but i come to shut the devil down today to tell him i have more to declare [Applause] somebody holler to your neighbor you got to stand no i said holler to them like you're screaming like it's your last time say you gotta stand [Applause] in the midst of chaos in the midst of your home going crazy in the midst of your children going crazy in the midst of your family going crazy and can i preach in the midst of your marriage going crazy you got to still say devil i don't care what you're trying to do in my house i have a word i'm going to the other side [Music] jesus said we're going to the other side and in the midst of the chaos why he'd in the midst of the foolishness in the midst of what's going on in the storm where's jesus sleeping on the pillow where's jesus sleeping come on talk back to me i'm just i'm gonna talk back church come on balcony where's jesus he's sleeping on a pillar how can he be sleeping come on let's let's stop being spiritual let's be known let's be normal for a while because some of you aren't normal how can he be sleeping through a storm through this chaos how can he be sleeping and the disciples are out there bailing water in a panic uh-huh and jesus is on the pillow sleeping question jesus are you not hearing what's going on are you not feeling the turbulence in fact don't you feel a little water on your feet he didn't just ladies and gentlemen randomly fall asleep remember he's on a pillow comfortably sleeping this was deliberate oh hold on you know some of us you post on the couch we're like for one second and we don't wake up oh especially one of you especially those of you who snore you like and then you go i'm not sleeping i'm not sleeping you already snow we already heard you your snore gave you away come on this is the truth sleep can hit us anytime yeah okay jesus we understand he's human he's done a lot of preaching he's sleeping he's sleeping now if he slept without a pillow then i would have said you just fall asleep you know he just get tired and one of those one okay no he went off his way to get a pillow when you get in the pillow to sleep that means you're ready to be comfortable are you with me on this it's getting comfortable yeah i got my cameraman there all nodding and getting all in it's supposed to be doing the camera but let's go around he's like he's sleeping he's sleeping and so i want to paint the picture and he's sleeping hard he's like comfortable in the corner you know the hindu part of the ship sleeping leg up pillow gone and my question is can you sleep in the storm can you sleep when all hell's breaking loose in your life all right can i can i remind you something i remember when i was a child i remember in his child i ran as a child and the first time i experienced a bad lightning and thunder and anybody remember your first experience and all of a sudden this light come into your house and you think first of all you think a light blue or something in there but you realize it and come it came from outside and it's like big lightning then you count then all of a sudden bam frightened some of you already in it it's like bad and then afterwards you think god what was that then you were told it's thunder and lightning and your first experience every time it comes you get frightened and you get the cover and pull over you but then after a while when you have survived enough thunder and lightning it don't bother you in fact i used to stay up and watch and wait for it to stop now when the thunder and lightning comes i go into bed and i go straight to sleep and then they tell me did you hear how bad it was i said i went to sleep the reason why i went to sleep because the last time the thunder and lightning didn't kill me so i recognized if it didn't kill me the first time i can sleep through it the second who am i talking to in here it's only during the storm ladies and gentlemen that a tree knows how strong it is you don't know who you are until you're in a storm are you hearing what i'm saying a tree can only stand and only knows its strength until it goes through a storm one of the things they talk about is a palm tree is that the palm tree knows that when a storm and most tropical country where there is a storm there are not ordinary trees there there's already palm trees there because the science or should i say the nature of that territory knows it's accustomed to storm and nature provides listen to this a tree that will be able to stand in an area that's used to storm so what happens to the palm tree the palm tree when the storm comes all it does is bend over and allows whatever's coming to pass over it lord have mercy oh lord could somebody do this to me right where you are just sit down where you are if you want to stand up just go like this it's going to pass over yeah yeah yeah whatever the enemy has planned over your life i come to make the announcement it is going to oh i wish i had somebody say passover [Applause] see ladies and gentlemen when we face storms in our life we become we become we we come out of it changed we're not the same people ah yes some of us have been through hell and it is the hell we've been through that has built a character in us that's why some of you the devil don't know what to do with you because you're no longer a pushover you used to be a pushover but every now and then when the devil comes you say bring it on i survive 2020 and i'll survive 2021 and i will survive 20 20. you better you better you better open up your mouth and let the devil hear you say it [Applause] storms produces rainbows but remember rainbow is a storm's masterpiece because rainbows can't rise without a storm and if you know anything about a rainbow god says that's my covenant and i don't break my covenant oh lord god i know some other groups have taken the rainbow to make it think something else but i'm telling you what a rainbow means it's the covenant of god are you hearing what i'm saying and anytime you're going through a storm and you see a rainbow god says remember my covenant i've destroyed the world one way but i won't destroy you oh in the same way and i come to make the announcement there is a rainbow over your life god has put a covenant over your life somebody clap and give god a shout of praise uh let me preach real quickly so jesus is sleeping jesus is in the condition of sleep somebody say sleep i looked it up what sleep is about sleep is a condition of the body which they say this and the mind that typically reoccurs for several hours every night in which the nervous system is relatively inactive the eyes are closed the posture muscles relax and consciousness uh is suspended let me bring it to a understanding in other words god gets you in a place where you have become relaxed your muscles are now calm your mind is now moved away from thinking you become unconscious of the environment around you god and you get to a place where your eyes are closed and you're oblivious to what's happening on the outside what a place to be in when things are happening outside and it doesn't affect you y'all didn't hear what i'm saying to be in the sleep posture means whatever's going on outside i don't know nothing about it are you hearing me so ladies and gentlemen it says that jesus is comfortable sleeping he's oblivious to what's going on jesus system has shut down his eyes are closed is on a posture of relaxation jesus is on the pillow somebody say a pillar oh he's on the pillar yeah he's on a pillar jesus is sleeping on the pillar and and i want to also bring something to you i'm almost getting there we're preaching and i'm still on my introduction jesus is on a pill is sleeping and he's not a bit afraid of the storm he's not worried about the storm because he trusts in his father he told the disciples we're going on to the other side he's able to rest in the midst of a hurricane in the midst of waves that's crashing his heart is trusting in his destiny trusting in what god said are you with me and so as he's trusting he's not worried because he knows that god is in control are you with me jesus there is not worrying i'm almost there while everybody else is crippling with fear they're frightened and just for some folks who have not heard me talk about fear they're fearful there is two things that jesus says jesus says to them and i'm gonna he says uh by the way why are you so fearful remember he said that when the storm came everybody say fearful then he says where is your faith remember that okay that's when they they woke him up the question i want to ask and i've been teaching this and some of you will know it when some of you have gonna hear for the first time how comes faith and fear always are in the same conversation because ladies and gentlemen fear and faith they live in the same dimension what do you mean by that faith and fear fear is unseen you cannot see fear fear is an emotion are you with me on this what do they say for the acronym of fear false evidence appearing itself real doesn't that sound like satan the roaring lion it's false it's not true evidence appearing itself re now faith now is substance remember the bible says hebrews 11 verse one substance of things hoped for it carries an evidence not seen again it's not seen just like fear is not seen they live in the same dimension and both of them watch this are trying to get your attention fear the emotion says this is what's going to happen to you this is what's going to take place and it's working on your mind fear works on your mind fear says emotionally this will happen now faith now comes to you and says although you don't see it you're coming out of it but watch this faith now works against your mind because your mind says i got to see it i got to touch it but faith says you don't see it you got to believe it are you with me on this so so so so so so so uh when you read the text hey you will recognize that jesus is not fearful at all he's relaxed and he is completely oblivious to what's going on because he is in a place of tranquility a place of rest he is on his pillow i'm going to talk about that in a minute ah somebody say he's on his pillow oh all right all right all right uh uh let me give you a couple of scriptures psalms 107 28 to 31 says and this is why jesus was not worried because he knew the word he said they cried out to the lord psalms 107 28 in trouble and he bring them out of their distress watch this 29 it says he calms the storms oh so that the waves are still in other words god is a master of common storms he knows how to make your storm be still ah yes god and so because of that you can sleep not worrying about your situation psalms 4 verse 8 and i'm almost closing he says here psalms 4 verse 8 i will both lay me down in peace and sleep for thou lord only maketh me to dwell in safety let me read the new international translation it says i will lie down and sleep peacefully for you lord make me safe and secure ah so jesus is sleeping he's not worried about the situation jesus is on a pillow someone says he's on a pillar uh fast asleep in the midst of chaos i i wanna i wanna ask a question and i'm almost done now uh i don't know what you're dealing with but i want to ask you a question will you join him on the pillar ask a question to somebody else please on the balcony somewhere else type it in the chat ask someone say will you join him on the pillow yeah will you join him on the pillow i i'm trying to get you to a place where you're not worried about your circumstances here here's this and i'm done what is the purpose for the pillow what's the purpose for the pillar pillow's a serve watch this like this to keep your upper body in alignment during sleep yes are you with me it relieves the pressure it counter balance the points of the body the pillar should adjust to fit one's unique shape some of you want one pillow some of you like two pillows come on talk back to me some of you have three pillows somebody have one of them puffy puffy puffy pillows and every one of you if you don't have the right pillow you can end up with a crooked neck come on talk to me i'm talking am i making sense to anybody we get a pillow i love this so that we can make sure we're relaxed and we can have a comfortable sleep they say the pillar helps to relieve pressure from different parts of your body because ladies and gentlemen if you're not sleeping good yeah if you're not sleeping good ladies and gentlemen you will be awake and the only thing that he wants you to do when you're in a storm is to be relaxed and be comfortable knowing what you're dealing with is temporary oh somebody missed the place to shout let me say that again what you are dealing with is temporary let me say it again somebody's going to get a deliverance i don't know who needed to hear this what mama listen to me what you are dealing with although it looks like it's there to stay and it's been set up to frighten you to make you think this is the end of your life i have been sent by god to tell you it's temporary it's not going it's temporal it's not going to stay and god is saying get your pillow and join me in a place of rest my god oh my uh lord i'm i'm done now i'm about to preach uh look at your neighbor say neighbor oh that's the wrong neighbor find a person that want to talk to you say neighbor he wants you to join him in a place of rest i've come to make the announcement that god is about to align you this year your body has been out of sync but he's saying you're going to rest through things that people have fallen apart through that people have messed up people have lost their mind you are going to sleep the bible says he giveth his beloved sweet sleep ah you're not supposed to be up all night you're not supposed to be up all day worrying about situation he wants you to rest and god told me to tell somebody all the hell you've been going through it's about to end today did you hear me today you're about to sleep like a baby like you've never said before because i hear the lord say join me on the pillow join me on the pillar i almost was going to bring a pillar today i was almost going to bring one of my pillows to let you know it's when you're comfortable and you're sleeping comfortable it's that the time you start to dream can i tell you ladies and gentlemen why the devil wants you away because he don't want you to dream he wants you to see your reality but your dream goes beyond your reality it takes you into spirituality and tells you what your future is going to be stop looking of what's happening around you weeping may endure for a night but i need about 50 people to scream it like a lot i said joy is coming shayla bahaya [Applause] ah somebody somebody typed on facebook just a minute ago said they tested positive for covid i'm not trying to be insensitive but there's a point when covey gets really bad the doctors put people to sleep they have to induce them in what they call a coma and i remember speaking to pastor penny because she used to work in the hospital and i didn't understand why sleep was important i remember watching a program of a man who was wounded and they were climbing mountains and he was wounded and they tried to mend or put a plaster a bandage on the womb but the wound wouldn't heal and i was saying why isn't the wound healing the bandage is there he had all of the ointments to help heal the wound and pastor penny said to me the reason why his body can't get healed because he's been walking for days and have not slept yet she said to me sleep is a healer [Applause] she said sleep causes your body to relax sleep causes your blood to foam and cause a membrane she says it begins to clot on the surface of your skin but if you don't sleep you won't get healing you will stay with an open wound i found out what the devil wants you to do is stay awake through a storm and cause you to consistently bleed but god told me to tell you join him on the pillow join him on the pillar go and get some rest who am i preaching to right now god says join him on the pillow because all the hell you've been through you're about to get healings for your past am i hearing here is anybody hearing me right now look at your neighbor saying neighbor healing is about to come for you right now somebody shout like you lost your mind somebody scream [Applause] i'm down i'm done i'm done jesus is on the pillar and then he finally wakes up because they woke him up let me say some to you don't let nobody wake you up if you can't deal with the storm you miss that let me try it again don't let anyone force you to get up and you know you don't know how to deal with the storm some things god keeps you asleep from because he knows you can't handle everything [Applause] all right let me let me explain it to them a bit better elder louis let me explain it this way that's why some things that's happened in your family some things that's happened in your workplace some things that's happened around you you did not know everything god kept you away from it because he knew you couldn't handle it some storms he said everybody in your family will hear about it but you won't know and they say you didn't hear didn't you hear everybody else heard the reason why god had you on a pillow sleeping they wake him up i'm done jesus don't you care that we pray she says okay all right hurricane peace be still waves calm yourself and immediately there was a calm i want to prophesy to someone in the house whatever was going on in your family whatever was going on in your home whatever's going on in your workplace you're leaving this building with a calm your amen is too quiet you're aiming you want to type it in the chat whatever is happening in your house right now or about something to your coaster under the sound of my voice as i preach this word you're leaving this broadcast you're leaving this atmosphere there is going to be a calm i speak to every demonic power that's tried to stop your destiny that tries to stop you from moving into your destiny i decree

you on a line wow what a word join him on the pillow can you guys get into the chat facebook family i see you you know youtube family i see you those of you listening on dav radio can someone get in the comments and just let me know what stood out to them this afternoon about the word that came forth i mean i was completely blown away because i wasn't sure where bishop was gonna take it and i was sitting in the sanctuary trying to make my notes but also receiving receiving receiving the word do you know what let me have a look i could see all of the comments that were coming through um and yeah we thank god for an awesome time um in his word in his presence today yes jesus keeps the deep dive is live so get in the comments let me know what you guys took from today's word i think uh one of the things that really stood out to me was the um the example that bishop gave of the palm tree and i never really thought about how resilient and strong palm trees are until bishop said you know what the palm tree bends in a storm and it does like have you ever seen those like videos on the news when they're showing like bad weather or hurricanes and you can just see the palm tree bending and blowing in the wind but still it stands resilient that that really really stood out to me today so guys come on get into the comments let me know how are you gonna take today's word and apply it to your life i know what i'm going to do and i'm going to tell you in a minute but let me look at this i know everybody enjoyed that bishop was singing yeah amazing amazing amazing one of the things i'm gonna definitely do is get my pillow and i'm asleep i'm asleep i'm definitely gonna get my pillow and i'm i feel like i'm gonna have like the best sleep tonight um there's a few things for me that really just resonated with me um bishop just you know when the word comes forth and you're in you're sitting there and you're thinking this is this is for me i i really felt like this was this was for me uh and amen i can see the comments coming through um shah is saying yes true palm trees are strong yes they are they are very strong and resilient resilient i see carlene saying here getting rest that's what you're going to do that's exactly what i'm gonna do get some rest um i've got char saying yeah it was a powerful word um love bishop singing i think it's really good to that you know bishop doesn't just preach he doesn't just teach but he also ministers to us in song and sometimes the song can really uh meet you at the point of your need in a really different way so no that was amazing i've got jojo here who says i've chosen the right day to be online for service to get the word um of importance about rest uh rest with the lord on her spiritual pillow um i needed that because i'm going back to work tomorrow well bless you i pray your strength as you go back to work tomorrow and as you're using your spiritual pillow also remember to use a physical pillow and make sure you get some rest this evening before work bless god bless god um i've got um havely here saying a powerful word um and samantha just encouraging you all to have an amazing and blessed week guys let me know let me know what you received from the word today i i also i was i was thinking about the word fear um and as bishop was preaching and talking about it and i'm thinking yeah actually he's absolutely right fear and faith kind of like living in the same kind of atmosphere well you need you need to be in that same kind of you know in that same kind of place the way fear operates and the way um faith operates wow it was so powerful i took some notes let me go back to my notes before i go back into the chat um and see what else you guys are saying um and one of the things that i really took from from this was that fear being an emotion and how fear works in your mind and how fear works how how faith works against your mind because you have to believe it before you see it so no i really really pray that your faith was increased by today's word it i i really pray it was increased by today's word right let's have a look here i've also yeah colleen is saying fear faith over fear every day every single day i think i'm gonna hashtag that and post it later i'll put it on my whatsapp status as well um or it might be my monday motivation uh faith over fear amen i've got jesus keeps here saying i will rest and have a sweet sleep and dream in the peace of god amen i hope you guys all have sweet sleep honestly um the word was so refreshing and maybe you needed some encouragement because you have been going through some stuff yeah because life gets real i want to encourage you listen to the word of god again the goodness about these platforms and us being an
