go I'm ready to go [Music] I'm gonna try to administer this and I give on its God to all of our visitors I greet you with the love of Jesus Christ and to my own husband and covering hell to cue into all the ministry Alliance and all the elders and all the saints and friends I want to try to minister this is the Lord and saying it in our ear and speaking to you but I promise you we shift into a place we will never be in this place again God is absolutely shifting us and causing us to go into the place that's necessary to be able to be the birthers to be the bringing forth to be the light to be the city set on a hill the Lord is shifting us to that place and so the Lord spoke to us about crossroads and he said that in this time that we've been dealing with wounded wounds and things it's digging up a lot of things and it's causing a lot of things to surface some things that maybe we thought we were over were some things that we really have just pushed back but nevertheless is causing Awakening and an opening everything through life and lord please help me to minister through this everything through life our constant crossroads it's what life is life meets junctions that you have to make a decision and sometimes we make the right decision and sometimes we don't and it's never without consequences when we make the wrong decision it's called crossroads it's never gonna leave you can't get away from it it's a part of becoming mature it's a part of of sharpening your judgment it's a part of making you wise it's a part of making you a more astute student of life is when you learn your decision-making at your crossroads everybody have to face them who you're gonna marry whether it was the right person or not where you're gonna live whether it was the right investment or not what kind of job are you gonna choose what college are you gonna go to what career and sometimes we admit that we made the wrong decision and sometimes it can readily be fixed and sometimes you got to live that thing out talk bad any grown-ups to talk back to me something's you just got to live it out it is what it is you can't do nothing about it you got to live it out but nevertheless it happened because of a decision you made and a junction in your life that it was crossroads the Holy Ghost said to us that the church is being pushed some are being pushed individually he said and what they need to understand is this is not about Satan necessarily as much as it is that I'm now asking them to choose crossroads the Lord said I'm telling you what I've got before you I'm saying the promises that I've got for you I'm showing you the blessings I've already proven to you that I am your God but I cannot come against your will you gotta choose me you've gotta choose me to finish this course because when I started in I didn't start it for a half-hearted I didn't have I didn't started to get you so far I know the thoughts that I have towards you that they are good and they are not evil to give you your expected end so there's junctions that happen in our walk with God that literally you're choosing which way am I gonna go and the way that God calls us you're never going to see and all the way through never or else it wouldn't be called a walk of faith begins to call you when God begins to summon you you're not going to see the whole picture you're not you're not going to understand everything you're not gonna be able to dot every I and cross every T and let me tell you where the crossroads start the crossroads start because Satan will bring everything familiar to you and he makes you breathe as though you know that raus who I worry he makes you feel as though this is safer y'all understanding what I'm saying you make you feel as though you know this that's if to trust go it's a greater risk than going back with him he poses it that way he presents it that way and so the Lord said that the church the vessels of God that he is stressing and that he is calling that he is pulling he said I'm pushing you to Crossroads now I have multiple examples but for the sake of time I've been trying to reduce them so whether I'm gonna get to all of them today or have to complete this imma do what I can so let's go so here we go so crossroad is when your will crosses God's purpose and you have to choose that's crossroads with God is when your will it's crossing his purpose and you've got to choose and let me help you understand something that when you began to choose him not only is it a walk of faith but it's a walk of death because I don't need you on this route I need to see more of me everything that God does with us is so that we can die daily everything that God does in our life is so that we would decrease so that he can increase everything that God does in our life is so that we can learn how to give up this world and become more attached to him so in order to choose him and the willingness to choose him means that's gonna be another death of me now I really got to keep working this thing and i'ma try hard not to bring in so many examples us in my mind or at least try to keep them in perspective because don't forget Saints it's only he that endureth to the end that will be saved only he that endureth to the end you've got to finish it and so what happens is we get a certain blessing we get a certain anointing we get a certain ministry and we kind of get slightly comfortable and the God would have caused the circumstances to shift in our life situations to change and it take you out of your comfort and he's saying it's because I'm not done with what I need to do with you my purpose for you so crossroads is when your will crosses God's and you have to choose here we go familiar story in the Bible but like this is you know I'm supposed to tell the story so build up up the story it's a story of light we know God called Abraham he called Abraham out of his country he said man to God I'm gonna make your father of many nations I'm gonna take him to your own land he gets ready going to his own land he tells him only him and his family but nevertheless Abraham brings lot shouldn't have brought lot but he did that was his nephew lot goes one way Abraham goes another lot goes into the Sodom and Gomorrah he's in Sodom and Gomorrah and the city was known for alternative lifestyle choices and a lot of lasciviousness and lusts is what lived in this lifestyle in the city called Sodom and Gomorrah the Bible said that two angels came and watched the city these two angels came and when he saw the two angels he said unto these two men he said why don't you come and stay at my place I said no we're just gonna hang out in the streets I said no I really need you not to do that I need you to come to my house come to my house you can stay in my guest home I got you you Eden it's all good he said okay so they come into the house he feeds them they're in the house he sees the family well then the Bible says that the young and old men of a lot of Sodom and Gomorrah came to Locke's home and they came to lot's home they said widows dudes that they came in your house Locke came outside shut the door behind her he said yo listen you don't want those men you don't want a man to be with a man what you want is my daughters that's what you want I'll give you my daughters and the Bible said that they said no we don't want your daughters we want the man so the Bible said they begin to press and press on the door and press on Lots porch then the angels came snatched lot brought him in the house and said we'll need you to fight for us we fight for ourselves and the Bible said that they caused all the men to be blind all the men were blind they began to wonder about then the angel said listen we were sent here for you like you and your family go get your son and I'll go get all of your family cuz I gotta get you out of the city and the Bible said that he went to his son-in-law he said no we good he said okay so Abney was trying to negotiate with his son in laws and with the rest of the family go get the picture hey can you go get that vase in the back he said listen we got now the angels snatched it up here we are nineteen verse of us is the win the more I'm sorry go back no no go back I wanna read and when the morning arose in the Angels hasten lot saying arise take thy wife and my two daughters which are here lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city and the one of the city everybody in the one of the city everybody I don't want you caught up in this evil and while he lingered the men laid hold upon him this is King James Version laid his hand upon his hand and upon the hand of his wife and upon the hand of his two daughters and the Lord being merciful unto him and they brought him forth and sent him without the city and it came to pass when they brought them forth abroad that he said escape for thy life I'm sent to rescue you God sent us cuz everything else about this city it's gonna be destroyed but because God heard the cry of your uncle Abraham we are here to save you they said so run and escape for thy what everybody escape for that what everybody cuz if you stay if you stay in this way you will be destroyed no if ands and buts about it you will be destroyed or escape for thy life look not where everybody looks not where everybody look not where everybody don't look nowhere else we are here to save you and you only god help me today we're not confused we know there's other people here but they are not the ones God told us to come and get he only told us to come and get you so don't look behind you and neither stay thou and all the plane but escape to the mountain lest thou be consumed and so they take off but his wife looked back from behind became a pillar of salt she looked back she froze history says that her figure is there today why did you look back I told you I'm set to save you and you only but she had a wheel won't work it won't get good and so God is saying that I'm not driving you I'm not pushing you I'm not exhorting you I'm not encouraging you I'm not having this great compassion and mercy on you I'm not forgiving you again and again and again I'm not purposely tolerating your mistakes and then restoring you again I'm not doing that for you to ever look back I'm doing it to save your life but in the end you have to choose so many theories why she looked back was she looking back because she missed her own lover in Sodom and Gomorrah was she looking back because she felt like where they were going was not good enough it doesn't matter why you know cuz we do that you know we get saved and God give us orders and God calls us out and God give us instruction we got every excuse Under the Sun while we needed to look back while we needed to check on some people y'all not gonna talk back to me why we felt like we had to witness to that last person y'all not gonna let me I gotta really come good though we got so many excuses to presenting what I told you do as I say over and over and over and over again whom ever God want to say I was not special it was not something unique about me he chose me because he wanted to and whom ever God want to say that was part of your Posse and your crew just like he got you do you better know when he called you next story okay so then here's yeah I got really take my time on this one it's the story of Naomi and Ruth okay so let's talk about that story so there was this woman named our man named Emelec and he was married to Naomi and so they were from the country of Bethlehem Judah so they were Israelites they understood the orders of God and they worship God of Israel but there was a famine in the land so they go into this country called Moab now Moab and the ammonites and then a man that country was actually birthed by the incest of lot and his daughters keep on working y'all with me so this was a very perverted country this was a very perverted land a land full of idolatry they sacrificed their children unto gods and burnt them with fire this was who these people were but it was the only place they could go at the time because there was a famine in Bethlehem Judah so they go there and so they land there and they'd say they're about 10 to 15 years and then the Bible says that the two sons Emelec and Naomi's two sons they take on two daughters one of the daughters name was Ruth and the other daughter name was Orpah now what's day as it's supposed to happen once they married into this family they took on the God of Israel because that's all that there was in that house as for me and my house we go right so now they're hearing the ways of God they're being taught the ways of God they're being taught the statues and the ordinances of God and their husbands are men of God but then Naomi loses her husband he dies and now there's the two sons with their two daughters and then the sons die and now it's just Naomi and these two daughters but they loved her and so the Bible says that Naomi said unto her two daughters-in-law she said you know well I ain't got nothing else she said but I hear the land that I come from my home country but for the ham Judah they're prosperous again so I'm gonna go home to my land and the Bible says she says so go return each to your mother's house and may the Lord deal kindly with you look at the blessing she's putting on them may the Lord deal kindly with you and as you have dealt with me and the dead and made little all grant you that he may find you rest both of you girls go home and then she kissed them because she loved her daughters-in-law she kissed them and they lifted up their voice and wept next one the Bible says and so they lifted up their voice they WEP again and and Orpah said okay you know I love you Naomi you were the best mother-in-law I have had and even though I learned about your God even though your husband mighty your son my husband over 10 years he taught me about your i'ma go back to my people i'ma go back to the land of the more bites I'm gonna go back to the land of the ammonites this land that's filled with incest and all sorts of perversion this land that's filled with idolatry I do love you I do love you and it's been good but I'm going back so she kissed her but room what did she do talk back to me but what did we do cuz I gotta finish the message so we're crying in wood because you were such God the hands Jesus and yes you did who went home to be with the Lord you had a sanctified see why I picked you Sanctus so you understand you married the senate minister times stand up mister thompson Senate mister that man of God was raised by a godly woman his mama went home to be with the Lord sanctified woman he married her she didn't know the God as much until that family and they taught her the ways of holiness ain't this beautiful good example they taught her mother long loved her so she has nothing else Oh Oprah okay she says I love you now you gonna go back to your land now all of this is your land I'm sorry but Ruth please please she claimed please please please please she said behold thy sister-in-law is gone she said oh honey your sister my gone unto the people gone baby and she's going back to her gods crossroads crossroads go baby call back to you she said to her she said if I don't have nothing else to give you if I were to have another child would you wait to that young man grows and be grown that you could marry him you ain't doing that go baby go back to your land into your gods who turned out what your sister enroute said I'm begging you not to leave thee or to return from following after thee because I found something what your family I found something it feels so good she says you go have to make me cuz where you go girl I got nothing I'm just going back you don't matter I want the God in you I'm attached I'm attached to the God in you so where you go I will go I don't know where I'm asleep it don't matter would you sleep we on to the bridge tonight it's okay I'm with you I'm good I will sleep next one here we go here we go and thy people will be my people cross roll your God will be my god [Music] I think that and I'm praying hard and some of this might get sensitive and some of this might feel very personal and if it is you're right it's because the Holy Ghost broke it down so the Lord early one morning I think it was Friday morning having my morning meditation and he brought this story so I've got to bring how specific in here and he said she know Timmy said we're we're dealing with such hurt people and we're dealing with people who many cases have never understood family in many cases that have never been a part of a wholesome healthy family are y'all working with me when we just left the Wallace's father's home when I meant to show this ran I don't know if anybody got it handy but I didn't know that her father was an only child but they showed this picture of his entire family where it's like 40-something grandkids and 30-something great grand and all these kids and I said from one man came the God of the burns scene [Applause] their children are whole because they know of a relationship of a mother and a father the grandchildren are whole cuz he could talk about going to papa's house and Mama's house and they could reflect on thee say so there was a level that was very whole can I keep working it y'all need to pray for me because I'm trying to really find my way to get there and so there's there's a part and there there are people and there are issues that we come from church if God didn't know your history as if God didn't understand your pain as if God wasn't aware of the struggle the isolation the rejection the peculiar nosov not feeling like I ever belong anywhere y'all got to please let me work it the the the loneliness the wanting to be accepted because I don't know who I'm accepted by this is a people and it's a breed of people that Satan is allowing to experience these things y'all know I'm telling the truth and so all of that comes to the house of God but God in His goodness God and His mercy and His grace God in his loving kindness and his foreknowledge of you he snatches you out and he just introduces his goodness to you his loving kindness his mercy his tenderness he makes ways for you that otherwise are not made he opened up doors for you the was never could have happened he clears your mind that you can think straight and he gives you pride about being whatever it is that he's called you to be and he does all of that to say I have need of you he does all of that to say I am good you get to the crossroads were you walking in your blessing and that was just the benefits that come with salvation because the Bible said daily do he load us up with benefits there benefits just to salvation yahoo talked back to me it's just benefits that he told me he'll supply every one of my knees that's just one of the benefits that I would need the hunger or thirst that's just one of the benefits but then what do you want is you so the Holy Spirit said he said so there's a generation that they really don't understand that this is what's happening but they're very selfish because they're constantly looking for somebody to heal and it's about them because I'm so afflicted I'm so rejected I'm so injured so everything becomes about them okay can I keep on can I keep on there's a level of entitlement not in necessarily negatively it's just you think the entire world got to pay for your rejection tire world owes you for what happened to you and the Spirit of Lord said this is what's happening he's soon when I got them at a crossroad and I'm telling them I called them for me when I called them for me today you know sometimes you got to get a little wake-up calls you may have nothing before I came into your life you have no vision of nothing before I took that diamond more happen a man I even hit Titan am i right I took all that mess you thought you made these accomplishments on your own let me remind you if not for my goodness you would have been consumed may I remind you you didn't get here by yourself may I remind you you get a little arrogant before you forget where you came from remind you I could have left you where you were and now you're at a crossroad wondering whether you should keep following me looking back at what as though they've changed that's if the world you came from God so the Lord said he's a part of this birthing part of the deliverance this wounded war is they got to choose me to cross totally over to the other side that this pain don't exist so thank my excuse no more this rejection don't exist so it's not part of me so let's go to door I'm trying to keep working here we go next Richard so the body was said in second Peter how do we do this he's an Abba sidethis when I call you and I choose you when I started making you in church here we go that's why it's gonna be alright he said the process is a constant audition period walk with me it's constant addition there's never looking back cuz that's gonna subtract everything about me it's constant addition so besides is giving what y'all giving what talk back to me giving what I don't feel like it beside this giving I'm tired you seem like I'm just praying the prayin y'all want too much not too strict I got this I'm ready to do my own life I feel good good I feel good every time I think about Jesus [Music] now you gotta add on to this giving all diligence that means that's what you do period period that's your walk boo that is the walk the walk is you adding on add to your add to your add to the thing you cannot see you walking with me add on to it virtue clean it up I'm gonna clean up your man I'm gonna clean up your thoughts I'm gonna clean up your heart i'ma bring a proportion in you that you never thought you could live in I'm gonna clean it up I'm gonna clean it up i'ma clean it up actually your fake bring the virtue I'm washing your man let me tell you so you don't know how deep sin is until God starts showing you his pureness when you you can't even compare when you put your light against his pureness you're gonna sackcloth and ashes he said add to your faith virtue I'm not through with you clean it up clean enough to you quit thinking perverted thoughts clean it up till you think quits thinking Horus thoughts clean it up why are you looking back something is not good you won from the perversion to from cleaning clean it up clean it up what could you possibly what from the world I snatched you from what could you want we're doing you some good you're never what I came to me clean it up had to your virtue hate virtue to virtue learn this is the part I'm turning this corn I've been talking to y'all Millennials I've been talking to our leaders I'm telling about reading these different books I'm not doing this cuz I ain't got nothing else to do is because trying to train your mind to stop moving off the instincts and move off of the world help your mind realize you're a wit can only go so far you need the knowledge of God quickened by the knowledge of the Holy Ghost I don't know your struggles and I'm never gonna know it to the extent of you cuz I'm not you and he told me I gotta know it but what he told me to do is teach you knowledge because what I can promise you is the devil ain't changed sayin junk he lied to me he lying to you - he said so add to that cleanness cuz once I start purging your mind and I started purging your thoughts you gotta get a new teacher cuz all of your wisdom is worldly all of your wisdom is central I gotta give you a new teacher and it's called the Word of God get knowledge know what you're talking about don't guess the scriptures when God put something your spirit look it up yeah daughters y'all ready to make a turn daughters talk back to me your daughters ready to make a turn deliverance don't come until I have a knowledge of the demon that had in my life I need to know that demon get knowledge of who he is you ain't tricking me no more devil no I'm gonna know your name how you got here when you got here how old I was cuz that door is shut you ain't never getting back in that no more I'm gonna get knowledge of how you tricked me snatch me up made me look like a first-class fool I'm getting knowledge on that add to your virtue knowledge and to knowledge self-control nobody care about you being grown ground on me you can still do everything you want to do lost your mind get self-control get temperance get discipline your visions have to be regulated your career ambitions have to be regulated your career and drives and what you're gonna be it's got to get controlled and you've got to get temperance number one that ain't gonna happen overnight number two you can go to all the schools you want to but it is exponential knowledge that makes you who you are now it's it's knowledge temperance get disciplined get disciplined that you can come home at a certain time do certain things and that's called discipline it ain't about nobody trying to control you it's trying to teach you discipline so you know how to handle your life that's it's part temperance and to temperance what yes sir yeah this is where I have to do like this I have to do like this not just to the Millennials to the Saints I have to do like this constantly constantly I don't feel it as much as I used to because I went to another place I realized I ain't got no control over it you owe me a few Lord have caught me up I had put on my life and he showed me in and I'm just waiting that's I wanna say I can't make your calling happen what do you want but it was prophesied who were they a real prophet got a patience Bob said wait on you call it wait you know why you want to wait on it cuz you don't want to take off and ain't got all the goods to handle it change your man he really call you to that no no go go I'm sure our president appreciate being the president but I'm sure he's thinking twice not cuz we all up in his grill and all up in his business taxes your mama your grandmama your kids you want it then be ready for everything that comes with it patience patience nobody can dictate nobody can dictate or hinder your calling maybe we can suffocate it or hear me when I'm telling you the truth we makin suffocating and different things like that but I promise you when the hand of God is on your life he will move everything and everybody cuz your gift will make room for you patience patience you don't throw in God how many hours you've been praying you'll do that guy I prayed 6 hours Sunday and I did 3 and a half no I charge that you do that like your watch like you gotta I can thank you like you got a prayer app don't try invent that don't even a prayer how many hours you put in we got like Gospels we answering you he said patience I know what I'm doing patience at your face patience ah and to patience what everybody talk back to me what everybody who does go realities gonna get good what everybody cuz it took all of those stages just to get you to look like you say it's gone on them stages just to make you start having a godly demeanor well you can let go of that junk that you picked up from the world all that walk and talk and all of that what you doing what you do oh I'm hurting some people feelings please no I had nothing to do with being square another do another day I'm after your character I'm after your character and I know why you're doing that I'm after you he said at the temperance patience and to pay are we still I don't know y'all I'm sorry we still add no how can I add that on the looking back that's work I'm gonna add any event oh and I'm looking back you can't so then you go throw up in God's face like God is doing something wrong with the truth is you started looking back your growth didn't stop because of me your growth stopped because you started looking back Crossroads you didn't choose me add godliness and to godliness what everybody talk back to me into what everybody talk back and what and to brotherly kindness what now here's where it gets good next we watch this gets real good for if cuz that's on you to do it it's on you to add it yes these things be in you and then how they gotta be there yes so they gotta live in you and abound they make you that ye shall neither be what everybody uh-oh what does that won't get ready to do is going to bring forth and it makes you that ye shall neither be nor on in de here's a knob you stay in this flow that's how you grow Ready Set when he said this at the crossroads he said if you make these decisions to keep adding on with me he said I'm you gonna constantly be fruitful you're always gonna be bringing forth you're always gonna be growing here we go big nine first but it here that like it you can't see it so that's why everybody's a problem the same people that blessed you the same people that taught you the same people that counts with you the same people that loved you the same pastor that prayed for you the same intercessors that came to see about you the same people that reached out and fed you that encourage you when you were down all the you got a problem with all of the same people I know I'm telling the

afar off and what did you say and have forgotten you go forget you ever even purge administer dare I have seen I've seen the greatest and the most annoying of people go into a realm of evil that you say what happened so the Lord is saying I'm pushing this through he's I've got you we can hit some things that's go beyond uh but it's a cross role and I need you to keep coming finally that demon he can read her go and he'd go on forever you ain't gonna never see him no more all that back and for I'm telling you on it he said no more we can hang on and you ain't you gonna bring all that wound don't be so fruitful it's gonna bring for so much rule I tell this show normal it's just who you are it's just what you do is there another verse is there another worse I think I think that's it yeah for ya wherefore the rather brother so here's everybody sandy wherefore the rather and brother give diligence to be consistent crossroads crossroads keep moving Ruth had no idea what their future was gone home but she clay to Naomi and when they got back to Bethlehem Judah the Bible said that they were so happy to see Naomi the name homey and she said call me no more Naomi call me Mara which means to grieve she's because everything I had god took it Ruth was like it's okay it's okay I'm with you now watch this watch this and now I'm with you I'm gonna work in your field and that's what Ruth did Ruth just started working in Naomi's field and gleaming off of King Boaz's feel and that man saw the qualities of this woman working in the field and he said and that's the woman I want Ruth went on to marry Boaz and became the great-grandmother of Jesus Christ what are you saying past a minute I'm saying your inheritance it's staying in the way you're not gonna see everything sweetheart things are not gonna make sense but I trust you every single thing about Ruth's life was changed forever cuz she chose the right Road I get it I get crossroads I get it and you and you're constantly gonna happen different seasons different levels some of our dear daughter's you you going through loneliness and you're getting older you thinking if I'm ever gonna marry again and now now Satan want to make you start looking back now after he's kept you all this time bless you everything you have is because of him cuz you labored in the field and now I got to keep it clean can y'all can y'all work with me I gotta stay out here I'm out here now I got to help you out now you just said a crossroads let me tell what I'm learning usually right when he's pressuring you is when your blessings come it's right when up who's right around the corner they said you would never be anything your entire family failed but he bless you you are the child of the first the first to graduate from college the first to get your degree the first to go and you're the child of the first and the devil want to make you think you did it on your own it was because of his goodness and now he want to think you got it going on and don't need God no more you're blind baby you need God until the end but you so much of a man I can put God on pause things may not have been which when I'm talking to some young men in this house I say all the time and I and I shouldn't judge because I had a father I shouldn't judge but even though my father was a man of God my father had thoughts my father made his multiple mistakes he was still my father and I'm mature too because there's no flesh that's perfect only God is perfect so whether you knew your father don't know your father it don't matter you know God the Father and he's been good to you and he raised you and taught you in the ways of holding his y'all better talk back to me crossroads crossroads but make your calling and election sure don't take it for granted pastor Bennett run like I'm crazy I consider myself Forrest Gump run Forrest run cuz I ain't taking it for granted I don't take nothing for granted I was sharing with one of our daughters sounds we're just talking about our past and what God was bringing us through and I said I ran so hard that my brothers and sisters who know the Lord they looked at me like tell me we're not even so why you running from us I'm just running for Jesus I'm just running for chief cuz I gotta make my calling you can't do that for me make your calling and election sure here we go for if you do these things you've got to be kidding if you stay in that way of diligence you shall never and so an insurance shall be ministered unto you abundantly and to the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ's hands lifted all over this room hands lifted you're at the crossroads the Holy Ghost said it here at Crossroads that's all and you gonna have to choose him now nobody can do that for you you've got to do it you're at a crossroad and it's not important that you see everything understand everything you just gotta trust him cuz it's a walk of faith it's a walk of faith time we fail me to tell my holster because most of the congregation already know it was a crossroad when I was about to marry somebody in when it was broken up the Sunday before the Saturday of the wedding and when everything is there the wedding cake the invitations gifts are coming in the wedding dress honeymoon is already paid for we already bought a car we had a house that we totally remodeled this was gonna be my life this is gonna be my future I was 19 20 years old my mother and father were already separated my father couldn't go live with my father my sister had gotten married I had nowhere to go he was a decent guy he wasn't the most annoying guy but that's okay at least he works hard this is good enough for me I'm good I'll just do this and we'll get married so I can have some sort of stability cuz in a minute I'm gonna be homeless Methos donna zion house that nobody's here but me and i know god i know you saved me i know you i know you brought me from from drug addictions and I know you snatched me out of hell and I know you did all that so so this is good enough for me and then God told my father the Sunday before the Saturday like tonight I'm getting married next week my father pulled me inside he's a Tammy God said this is not your husband I know he's in a Tammy he said when your mother and I got a divorce my daddy told me he said it was poor judgment on both sides crossroad he said Tammy was poor judgment he said it because of my poor judgment I watched you suffer domestic violence molestation and so he said I had to bear that because of my wrong decision my cross road I didn't choose right he said but Tammy if I be a man of God as your father I'm not giving you away and as your pastor I am not marrying you he said if you do this Tammy you gonna do this all on your own I will not be responsible for ruining the rest of your life now I still don't know why I was gonna live I still had no I just had to trust him I said okay and that became the history of me being put with this 60 year old woman and I'm 19 but it was God's destiny it was God's purpose on my life I had no clothes I had no job and had just the clothes on my back I had no job I had nothing and I'm living with this woman traveling with her still going through my depression trying to come out of it trying to make life make sense I'm living with her and I guess it's okay y'all okay I just want to talk to somebody I want to talk to somebody and then after so long then the little people talking around the house that's a shame she living off a mother boy that's a shame she don't work and help nothing I said no no I said I think you know you know my daddy giving oh he ain't giving nothing honey you just living off a mother boy oh wait a minute wait a minute I've been working since I was 13 so wait a minute so I say to the Lord I said well Lord I I need to work I gotta do something Lord cuz I gotta be right I'm living with her true story true story two weeks later it was

beginning of the Lord said you gonna trust me do y'all hear what I'm saying it was the beginning for the Lord saying trust me when God's got purpose for you when God's got a route for you there's no

heart the melody be in your heart let the melody be in your heart let the melody be in your heart we're going to another place church and it's a love affair we're going to see the sing it's a love affair sing about nothing that ain't about no religion thing I choose God cuz he's been good I choose God cuz he's been better to meet as they say then I've been to myself when I would have given up on myself he picked me back up and said no you were four and you're worth fighting for oh I need some praise in this house didn't he do it to you tithers we're preparing ourselves and you're preparing a seat above your tithes and offering whatever you purpose in your heart whatever you purpose in your heart above your tithes and your offering you're giving in to the Lord we are preparing ourselves for 21 days of consecration the order of services have been established and we're preparing ourselves seek in the face of God we're coming happy we're coming for our promises we're coming cuz we're not gonna be barren anymore and we're coming because we're about to be a very fruitful womb that's gonna bring forth and it's gonna continue to bring forth of the things of God we are in another place with God that we will never be the same again this truly have been a year of growth truly a grown spiritually truly I've grown mentally there's so many things that God have built my confidence in and so many things that God have made me stronger and bolder in so we're preparing our tithing and our offering praise God for all of our new family members that are now a members and part of the family of this is Pentecost if you love to be if you'd like to be a part of this family I don't perfect that we're a perfect family because all families got issues but we got a family and we are a family that we believe we are stronger together we believe that that we are stronger together and so when one Falls we try to pick the other up that's what we do that's who we are we haven't perfected it but that is absolutely our goal we do believe in the word of truth the gospel and the word of truth we believe that God is our all in all we believe he is our healer he's our keeper he's our supplier and is our way maker so these crossroads you're feeling is just because you're about to go to another place that's all that means you're about to be pushed into another place in God that's what that means that's the uncomfortableness that's the weariness that's the irritation that's what feels like you're idle because you're about to go to another place and Satan want you to choose wrong he wants you to get weary and what you're doing hence is why the Bible says be not weary in well-doing for you will reap if you faint not don't give up don't give up in your good doing don't give up in your faithfulness don't get up God sees and God rewards God pays God please God pays for your faithfulness he's a rewarder that's how we live that's what we do the majority people in this house that's how we've gotten our blessings we got the formula we know it is it's in giving giving of our heart our mind of our soul we are sores and we're givers cheerfully not grudgingly because he blesses a
