rebellion in this church is from an Android user there we are fighting Church imagine the possibilities affordable housing assisted living solar panels urban gardening and so much more with God all things are possible Snatchers in Scripture it's in real life in is related to new birth can you just imagine that when God Grace's us to pay off this mortgage that the first Sunday of every month will only be for maintenance and upkeep second third and fourth Sunday completely forage the communities right here in Decatur in Lithonia and Stonecrest and even around the world I can't fathom that when God established the church it was about lights and bills and mortgages but strengthening those who feel cast out this is our our to model to the whole world but the whole church is supposed to look like get ready because possibilities are turning into reality [Music] you believe here come on the visitors don't know no better new birth if you believe God's gonna bless us to be debt-free [Music] God awakened me not long ago you may be seated with the vision called 2:35 vision called 2:35 which comes from Psalm 23 verse 5 my cup runneth over how many of you want that kind of anointing on your life my cup runneth over there are so many people who discounted our church just missed our church and thought that there was no way that we would ever breathe again they didn't think we would still be standing but how many of you all are crazy enough to believe if God be for us written about an Atlanta journal-constitution talked about in every barbershop mouthed about by every blog it's no secret that we have about 30 million dollars worth of debt 30 million dollars were for debt but I'm going to ask you a question do you think our God is bigger than that a [Applause] critical question you've got to ask yourself there's no way in the world which you have 30 million dollars worth of debt and we're sitting on 240 acres Amen God ain't making no more land and so we've got to do aggressive economic development with what it is that God has given us and for us to be a 21st century Church we cannot limit ourselves to a plate mentality that what God is calling us to do cannot be done just from offering on Sunday but God is calling us to be a seven-day-a-week ministry I hope you all have that kind of faith the fastest growing demographic in America you're not going to believe it the fastest growing demographic in America are our seniors and so much focus is on young people but not on our seniors who are living longer lives but the church has that neglected them are to really put in a place where they'll be able to reside in comfort in the twilight of their years there's got to be an assistant living program right on our campus [Applause] y'all ain't saying nothing to make there's so much abuse that happens in nursing homes and senior centers that we've got to have confidence that when our mothers or fathers get of age we can have them in a place of community that will strengthen them come on give God glory for it if you believe it we have to develop institutions on our campus the reality is that in the next 10 years we're going to develop over a hundred thousand millionaires in America and an overwhelming majority of them here me will the overwhelming majority of them will not have college degrees they are 3.5 million people with bachelor's degrees who live in poverty and we have forsaken that that a lot of us a lot in our lineage in our family were able to make an honorable living through carpentry and through electricians it through plumbing y'all not saying nothin to me and we have given all of those jobs to the Latino community and they can't figure out why our sons don't have employment I believe that we've got to have W EB Dubois and Booker T Washington at work in our community there's got to be a training center right here at new birth that will teach our children coding so that they'll be a part of technology in the future how many of you are got that kind of faith have that kind of 240 acres I shared with our leaders not long ago that we ought to have a solar panels right on our campus to be the first mega black church in America that is completely green that we are mindful of environmental injustice something is wrong when so many of our children I have affliction of asthma and autism because of all of the toxins in our community and the church says nothing about it not at new birth how many of you all believe God can do it working with a solar panel company even now to be able to transform our campus that we can give reusable energy to twenty five hundred citizens in DeKalb County twenty five hundred citizens in DeKalb County I want to ask you I don't know how y'all feel about it will life be better for you if you had no electric bill oh yeah y'all ain't saying nothing to me I said would life be better for you to run the operation of this campus do you know every month it takes us seventy to eighty thousand dollars just for utilities y'all didn't hear what I just said get a mortgage I said seventy to eighty thousand just to turn these lights on this a on y'all came in this church ain't no montly thir King funeral home fans there's the air conditioner blowing I mean y'all glad for that Amen but if we're able to move in this way move in this area progressively and aggressively our church will have no more utility bills how many of you all can believe God for that we have had the foot of the evangelical Christian Credit Union has been on the neck of this church since bishop long and they have tried to put a tight vise on our church to squeeze us in every possible way they've given us two years they've given us two years to try to shop our loan to give it to somebody else hallelujah I'm of the man I don't know how y'all feel about it I don't want to be what nobody there don't want to be with me [Applause] are y'all don't feel that let me say that again I don't want to be with nobody that don't want to be with me so I'm doing something aggressive that I want your partnership in over and beyond our tithes and offerings over and beyond our tithes and offerings on one Sunday the last Sunday in September keep put an alert on your phone for me the last Sunday in September on one Sunday above our tithes and offerings we're going to raise $500,000 in one Sunday are y'all

and a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years she had suffered a great deal under the Kay of many doctors and it's been all she had but instead of getting better she got worse when she heard about Jesus she came up behind him in the crowd touched his cloak because she thought to herself if I could just touch the hem of His garment I'll be healed immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering you may be seated and a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years she had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors she spent all she had but instead of getting better she got worse I want to preach for a little while this morning using as a subject nobody cares nobody cares if you look at the person beside you and tell them sometimes I really feel like nobody cares I have to confess to you transparently but I'm still traumatized by the incident that happened recently on United Airlines a ten-year-old adolescent by the name of Phoebe Cleveland was going from San Francisco to Grand Rapids Michigan to report to summer camp from San Francisco to Grand Rapids they are no direct flight so she had to make a layover in Chicago where she stopped in Chicago was where all the trouble started Phoebe's ten years old got off the plane in Chicago trying to get to Grand Rapids and the escort from United Airlines was not at the gate to meet her ten years old she asked the lady at the ticket counter for assistance the lady at the ticket counter told her curtly you just gonna have to wait I'm dealing with other customers Phoebe ten years old tried to wait patiently and after some time elapsed she asked the ticket counter agent can I call my mother to which the ticket agent currently responded again you gonna have to wait just go sit over there she sits over there so long that she misses her connecting flight in exasperation but no sign of a temper tantrum she pleads for somebody to either call the camp or call her parents the agent promises to do so but never does nobody tried to rebook her nobody tried to comfort her and nobody offered her any food no assistance is extended to this ten-year-old at all when the original flight lands in Grand Rapids the camp counselors a weary when Phoebe doesn't a light from the aircraft that call her parents to verify because maybe the plans had changed it's only in this moment three hours later that her parents know she's missing Phoebe's parents immediately call United Airlines in search of their only child when they call United Airlines they are met with a representative in India who checks the manifesto and deduces she must still be in Chicago and says to the frantic mother don't worry about it I'm sure she's okay the agent in India never apologized and never attempts to reach the child Phoebe's mother asked to speak to a supervisor and is placed on hold for 40 minutes before somebody takes the call meanwhile the father who's in the same room picks up his cell phone calls United Airlines expecting better service because after all he's a platinum member and has all of the rights and the privileges that come along with it he inquires as to where his daughter has been why nobody was looking for and asked the flight attendant to please go look to which the representative from United says to the father dismissively I'm sorry but my shift is almost over maybe somebody else can go do it he's asked to be placed on with a supervisor supervisor at United Airlines places him on hold for 30 minutes nobody ever told him that the escort system used a United Airlines was outsourced and the United Airlines no longer uses the service even though they had already paid the fee to have their daughter escorted the parents at this point are completely unnerved that nobody has attempted to find their only child or apologize the parents plea to put out an APB finally and their wit's in the father says to the ticket agent how would you want your daughter treated and what would you want me to do if our roles were reversed they put the father on hold for another 15 minutes track down the daughter and finally place her on the next flight true story regrettably at 10 years of age that young lady had a crash course on mass in competence and dispassionate adults at 10:00 she had to discover that nobody cares you will be amazed how many of us would be better served if we got that message earlier in life some of you didn't find that out till 30 others 50 others of you still don't realize it and yet you don't know how many people who are sitting on your road this morning have been trapped on a layover trying to take off and they feel like they've missed their connection who was supposed to meet them in the last chapter of their life never showed up when you tried to get assistance and aid everybody act like they were too busy or consumed in their own world to lend anything to help you and all you're trying to do is get to where you are called to it appears we are living in an environment that this is an environment of the apathetic uniquely apathy according to dr. Leon Setzer author of the book the evolution of self he says in that book the evolution of self is that apathy is the feeling of not feeling it is the only according to doctor said sir apathy is the only emotionless emotion it is the dangerous place of acknowledging what is missing but absent of the drive to pursue it without feeling you aren't stimulated to do much of anything biblical mediterranean times to work in the treasury of the king you had to submit to being a eunuch which means you reproductive organs had to be amputated because they were of the mind frame that if you are absent of passion you won't take anything I'm trying to figure out how long have you had your passion cut off you can't possibly believe that the intention of God was just for you to have a 40-hour a week job that you have no pleasure in how long your passions been cut off that you stopped dreaming and you just begin maintaining how long your passion being cut off but you don't even care how it is that you move through life cuz you've got no vision no dream and no goals how long has your passion been cut off that you don't even care about what it is that you're doing with your life and how it is that you ought to pursue what what made you get to a place to take your drive you hate how it is that you look but you won't lose anyway binging in front of the refrigerator won't exercise em drink one glass of water where's your passion did you even submit yourself to sleep with somebody you don't love and you don't even see a future with how long had your passion been cut off that job was never supposed to be permanent you were just supposed to be there until something else happened and you hate being there but refused to look for something else how long your passion being cut off you spending as much money in rent as you could in a mortgage but won't even look for a house how long has your passion been cut off did you be connected to something that never feeds you but it joins you and you just gotta sit in the car to keep yourself together because you've trained yourself not the cry and not to be frustrated and not to respond and not to react and people got no idea that if one more thing happens to me I'm gonna implode and lose everything how did your passion ironically apathy is not just a feeling it's an attitude the DNA of that attitude is indifference unconcerned unresponsiveness detachment and dispassion in summation it's it's not caring enough you gotta be careful how you handle some people because there's some of us who are in this room who are watching we either all in or we all out there's no in-between I'm telling you you better be grateful as long as I still care but the moment I cut that part of me off you don't matter whether you cry y'all ain't saying nothin to me you don't matter whether you hyperventilate it don't matter if you tellin me you two lost everything because of once I stopped hearing you I in a dangerous place because I'm a giver I'm forgiving I'm loving but as soon as I figured out that you taking me for granted and don't value what I bring I will shut all the way down you hate that I'm hangry I don't have a hat or - I'm just finish to the point that I don't tell that I don't care oh yeah y'all ain't saying nothin to me I don't care that I don't care before I was trying not to hurt your feelings I were trying to figure out if you okay but now you don't push me bro and I got to tell you I'm not happening I'm in another place that whole spirit of apathy that spirit of apathy has become pervasive when nobody seems to care for years later and nobody seems to care that there's still no clean water in Flint Michigan nobody seems to care there right now there's a slaughter taking place in the Sudan nobody seems to care that this administration has tailed the back the intention to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill indefinitely no nobody cares that in two weeks there get beginning to start deporting immigrants when this is a country built on immigration no body seems to care that the Republicans only care about the rich and the Democrats only care about the middle class but nobody got a strategy for the poor nobody seems to care nobody seems to care that there's more of our students who are strung out on debt from student loan debt but cannot get entrepreneurial small business loans in the same faction from the same place that doesn't mind giving them money for use but will not give them money to start and buy a house nobody seems to care nobody seems to care that that this president has been accused of sexual impropriety by 20 women y'all ain't saying nothin to me and has a 50 percent approval rate from the country what does that say nobody seems to care they're right down the street in Alabama they trying to dictate what women can do to their bodies when this decision is made my grumpy old men that don't even have faculties of their own bodies nobody seems nobody seems to care that the whole issue of procreation has only become evidence of white privilege that they see black and brown children are growing at exponential numbers and the numbers of white babies being born are being straight and nobody is telling you because that's giving you a misnomer here's more white girls having abortions then there are black girls but they want to put our face on it and nobody sees nobody seems to care most of our men who are incarcerated are incarcerated for nonviolent offenses but most of the murderers and rapists and armed robbers and thieves are white men but every time you turn on the news it's a black man in the handcuffs up against a police car nobody seems to care I felt bad about Phoebe but I don't know her never met her but I found another woman and Mark chapter 5 she wasn't flying through Chicago she's flying through Jerusalem something amazing happens in her own life in mark chapter 5 mark chapter 5 the Bible tells us she's been hemorrhaging for 12 years she's been bleeding for 12 years I got a puck to you parenthetically and tell you that's a long time to have one issue Oh y'all ain't saying nothin to meet us that's a long time to be grappling with the same obstacle in the same burden and in it amazing she's been going through it for 12 years and no way in the scripture can we find her family it ain't got quite 12 years and nobody who she grew up with is checking on her 12 years and nobody from the church has called her for 12 years ain't nobody prayed for her for 12 years nobody damned her on Facebook for 12 years but nobody is asking is there any way that I can help you and she got a deal with it by herself talking to somebody who been going through something and it didn't start yesterday and what's crazy is you got people who know what you dealing with and they try to pretend like they don't know but we'll never check on you when you spend so much time praying for them and checking on them and give him money to hear but the time you need a you in it all by yourself 12 years 12 is a number of structure 12 is order and so to make a foot has got to be 12 inches so she is out of order for 12 years she is absent of structure for 12 years and I want to tell you that when you got no order or structure to your life you gonna end up bleeding I'm talking to somebody who's sitting on your row who's always going through something why because they've got no order this is the hour I gotta talk to some adults in here this is the hour where you gotta stop flying by the seat of your pants and figure out some order from my life I don't want you to roll over at 16 and not have money to retire you gotta figure out what am I going to do with the rest of my life I need some water she suffered at the hands of many doctors and I need you to watch this new birth this is before Obamacare she got no copay she got to pay all of this out-of-pocket and the doctors keep taking her money even though they know they can't heal it's amazing how people don't mind taking from you hallelujah when when they know that they don't have the right intentions for your wherewithal and for your future for your destination she keeps paying them even though there is no sign of improvement and with no sign of improvement she finally hits rock bottom and runs out of money in an amazing that is only when she runs out of money that she starts thinking about God y'all just miss what how'd you say maybe just maybe that what she going through is not the enemy maybe this is God who needs to get her attention who knows as long as she got money she'll look for other people but when I got her resources off she'll start looking to me for assistance and her deliverance I don't know who this is for but it's about 500 a y'all who don't even know that absence of money yes what got you closer to help you when you didn't have anything it's when you begin to pray and trust God with no money I'm gonna see how how will you trust me knowing the first of the month starts tomorrow and you ain't got the money for the car note got the money for aftercare y'all ain't saying nothing you ain't got the money for tuition you ain't got the money for the mortgage but I'm trusting God even for what I don't have the money for y'all gotta forgive us because there's a few of us that have found out that favor is better than money that even when I don't have the money the dry sump cop [Applause] having having no money makes you creative [Applause] [Music] I said having no money brings out your creativity Big Mama and M will prepare dinner it's almost like an alarm went off in the hood everybody starts stopping by around dinnertime y'all ain't saying nothing and there you are trying to figure out how all these people gonna eat this one pot roast I'm talking to y'all raise old-school when mama said don't count your food I can't hear nobody and God will keep multiplying it even while she was cutting it you able to say I've never seen the righteous forsaken or see back in for bread talking to those of you who are in this room who can testify that sometimes my miracle one that he was paid off this is just for my hood Prazeres my miracle wasn't it that it was paid off my miracle is I got an extension y'all ain't sayin nothin to me I I just need you to work with me until I can get it together and God said sad words your mirror see she has no order and because she has no order she has no structure she is breaking the Rabbinical cold because the Rabbinical cold as established from Exodus is that the priests oughta lay hands on the sick she ain't got no order she ain't got no structure she bleeding here it is and so she thanks to herself cuz being broke makes you creative since that I go wait on the priest to lay hands on me this is our order y'all that there is no biblical evidence of anybody ever touching the priests but she said I know I'm out ordered that's when you know somebody getting ready to do something that's crazy y'all ain't saying something you ever been in a conversation with somebody and they start with I know I shouldn't say this you know something offensive is getting ready to happen she said if I can just touch something my spirit is weary on people who leave out of church time I don't feel nothing hallelujah I'll see everybody else shouting and rejoicing and celebrating but it didn't move me hallelujah how do you not know that every now and again God is sitting in your mints waiting for you to touch him I got the wrong church some of y'all keep waiting on a touch from God and God is saying I'm waiting on you to touch me y'all forgive us you got folk on your road they got all their bills made don't need no money nothing is going on in their body they waiting on a touch from God but those of y'all that are creative and realize I can't wait I need God [Applause] you touching your neighbor I said touch laughs and I I need God to know I need something see it please see it I gotta touch him please I gotta touch him hallelujah I need him to feel me I need you to grab that neighbor's Haena just pull on them hallelujah tell him I gotta touch God today I've been going through too much I need all the in my life I need structure in my life I don't wasted too much money in my life I need God to touch [Applause] and she thought to herself if I can touch the hem of His garment I need you to hit us she's not sitting in the car myself she's not in a living room she's in a crowd she's in a crowd she thought to herself if I can just touch him you never found it peculiar that what she thought she didn't share with anybody she didn't share her plan her concept or her idea with the people around her and when I need you to know this go upset some of you the people around her I'm not even the people around her are other church people but she said dear church people ain't trying to help me they only shout for what's in it for them and so I gotta keep it to myself I'm talking to somebody that ought to be worshiping why God says I want you to worship me for the stuff you haven't shared for the stuff that's been private for for the stuff that you don't readily discuss God said I'm get better to handle said if I if I can just touch him something amazing can happen and here's my problem just for mature people listen to me well she never discussed it with the people are around didn't discuss it with the disciples read it when you get home my problem I hope real people this is gospel for grown-ups she never discussed it with Jesus it's gonna get heavy right through here I'm talking to real people who ever had a crisis of the soul we had to reconfigure and ask yourself albeit rhetorically I wonder if God even cares I know we were trained and raised not to think like that not to speak like that but you you go through some moments y'all ain't saying nothing to me for you were you trying to figure out this does God see me over here struggling he he he sees me dealing with all of this and I watch breakthroughs happen father people witness in my season that well will it be my turn to figure out if God cares all the people in the world how why he got to take my momma as God even care trying to figure out what's happening I'm trying to do what's right and the doctor done found a tumor does God care how in the world the one that did me dirty goes on to live the rest of their life and Here I am trying to pull up the fragments I need real people right through here huh I'm trying to figure out how I'm tithing and still broke up I'm trying to figure out why I'm nice to folk and they nasty to me for no reason does God still care I need it cuz I I invested everything I could in these kids and I don't even recognize what they have become there is no trace of the parenting in the upbringing that I've given them and I look at and I'm trying to figure out who are these aliens in my house trying to figure out if God cares you know how many people are watching online but won't come to church because they've resigned their God no longer chaos the largest demographic of people who claim to believe in God but won't go to church because they're convinced that God don't care and she thought to herself if I can just touch the hem of His garment she navigates through the crowd touches him and the Bible says something that somebody needs today I can't find this word in Matthew and Luke and John I only found it in mark and this word is the word that God wanted you to have and it's the only reason why you hear he is the word I want you to carry with you the rest of this week immediately you miss yourself whatever is how the harder in your life whatever has been bleeding whatever's been broken God said immediate [Music] I'm trying to move in I feel a breakthrough right through here I just need 80 of y'all to holler back at me immediately everything I've been wrestling with him everything I've been contending with everything I've been fighting through email Ian and Jesus said who touched me my time is up said who touched me the disciples report back to Jesus you see all these people in new birth how am I supposed to know who touched you he said the one who had the deepest need and didn't care what other people thought about them that's the one that I'm getting ready to make oh I'm telling you if you can't shout tell what other people might say he ain't looking for you she trying to hey up and get out of there he said crap her don't let her leave this is simple I it's almost like I've wasted a Morehouse education at Duke education Oxford training I don't waste it all of that to give you this one point wish I had something deep something to Hebrew something in the Greek something in the air make to translate for you ain't got none of that how they got one point I'm trying to preach better next week all I want to tell somebody and you need it and your soul needed it I just need to tell somebody God tell us in spite of everything else it in spite of how you've been treated in spite of what they've said [Music] he cares about me I said he cares about me I need somebody to just lay your hands on your chair and shout out loud he cares about he cares about my future he cares about my family he cares about my health he cares about my finances embrace yourself for me he cares about me [Music] your soul needs to hear the sound of your own voice I need you to just say it out loud he cares about me [Music] he cares about me I speak over every vessel in this room I pray for every person who's watching online every person who's viewing this telecast I pray that this week God will give you evidence that he cares about you I can't hear no worshipers us I said this week he will give you irrefutable empirical evidence it's about you I don't care what you've been dealing with the last couple of years and okay how you been mishandled but I pray that God will show you through subtle and small ways that he cares about you and he cares about you enough to not let you leave the same way you came is just a word of reminder would you just embrace somebody around you deeply heavily embrace him until them God cares about you he cares about you [Music] he cares about you I touched his car and his so right there Tiffani listen to me Oh somebody's she listen to me somebody
