and to the williams family we thank god for you today and to all well wishes that came to be part of this experience dr lee williams is a legend i cannot overlook the fact when i look and sing the other legends uh deacon harvey watkins amen whom i love dealing to each of you i want to say this i've been asked to give words of comfort what do you say in a time like this well i off the side pastor 33 years and i share with our members all the time that ecclesiastes 3 says there's a time in season for all things there's a time to be born there's a time to die if you got a birth certificate there is a death certificate when did dr lee williams start dying he started dying when he started living i tell you what makes it so tough since williams is we always take lonership for ownership of the week i took a wife miss strong's car to get service they gave me a loan they said look at it and tell us if you see some defaults i seen the paint peeling but i didn't get the car painted it was a loner the tires was growing [Music] thin but i didn't go bad new tires it was a loner what i'm saying is we had lee so long until we thought he was ours he was just a loner but we considered that we owned him you ever long folk money they had it so long till they thought it was theirs but the rightful owner got a right to come get what's his williams called him husband the children called him daddy amen brothers called him brother friends called him friend everybody got so close in that relationship in this it's got us hurt today but he was just alone in saint luke 19 rebrief jesus cells of story to a man getting ready to go into jerusalem he said there's a coat go to a village against yourself there's a coat you'll find tied up loose that coat on time ain't nobody never wrote it he said but if any man actually why you loose them tell them that i have need of them a couple of things we need to know in that is that first of all the lord had need of him notice the coat was at a man's house jesus said loose the coat and if anybody asks you why you lose them tell them i have need of it which means that even though the man at the house would keep in the coat the coat belongs to me he was just alone though i'll tell you this and i'm out of here headed to florida one day the revival miami florida uh heard a story later said that this woman was headed to florida also squeeze your feet stopped at the store before getting to her gate and bought her some cookies she gets to the cake the gate set out and noticed something strange the man that she sit back was eating out of her cookie sack instead of asking him to quit he got a cookie she got to he got one cookie she got another two she kept battling him with her cookies he can't eat all my cookies and finally he got to the last cookie he split that cookie gave her half of it and she was so mad she was angry with agony she got got up went to the latest room and threw her pocketbook to the wall and all her utensils fell on the floor even her cookies she discovered he really wasn't eating out of her cookies she was eating out of heels and i know today it looked like god ate out of your cookie [Music] but you know what all the time you've been eating out of here not only how we've been eating out of here his cooking set i want to close by telling you one that just nice of jesus to split the cookie somebody want to tell him thank you for splitting the cookie [Music] and me i'm he spent the cooking it was healed all the time god bless you be encouraged with these words [Music] he split the cookie split the cookie i started thinking about oreos and started getting close you know i was trying to you know until somebody said he split the cookie thank god he did that somebody shot glory to god but right here we're going to have some expressions we're going to go with our siblings first uncles and then the spiritual qcs and i'll come back in that order give them a hand as they come this is good in spite of a situation god is good all right i'm gonna say a few short boys i won't be in about a minute but i want to say a few other things about my brother one morning we were waiting on the bus going to school and it started to open a fight but he was so smart he was slinging a little oatmeal on me i'm slanging a hawk on him and every time i slang a hunk on him he'll get it eating [Music] me a big dumb and didn't have something to know he was eating and i was a grown man before i found out what he was doing and one more little show i'm gonna get out of the way we was playing i don't know where it was just playing when lee looked up at my mama he said mom got a grad big old bump on your face you want me to bust it she said yes siren busted but she didn't have no idea how he was going to bust him knock my mama outta the chair can i do a little one more [Music] throwing a screw across there for a pastor mcgee ward and he didn't find possible gear up all right whoever hit me i'm gonna kill him so he was throwing that screw finally he throw one and hit him inside the head blood was running down and louis high and he run up there right quick he had lewis by hand who who did it who's here tell me who did we go get him guess who did he [Applause] okay my mama went fishing y'all know where westwood park here the lake still there right today we were little and my mama was catching fish and we all was catching some fish she ran out of base then it was old way down in the past he would move so she sent him to the house to get us some bait she didn't want to go nowhere he went to the house and the bull was building but the bull wasn't in the house where we were he knew it but he didn't want to dig the base he said mom he just left the lake while we was he called back that bull in the pasture with you i think my mother was running so fast until i have a blow to the back when she got come to find out the bull wasn't close to him but you could hear the bull and i know my momma could run from affair but could you could run if she had to is that it he got a bunch of more i ain't gonna tell nothing at all if i go telling some more it might lead around to me [Music] hello everyone i didn't know that part of lee but i did hear many stories about him i am one of his sisters and um one thing i did learn from lee is that he was a very patient and very wise person he was always slow to speak and swift to hear just like the bible's told us and that's that's one thing he actually taught me you know and my sister was saying you need to get something together because you know we may have to get up and speak and i'm like i don't i'm not used to getting up and speaking in front of everyone but i wanted to write some things down because i'm kind of like my mama sometimes when we stand up i thought sit down but what i've got to say is so important i didn't really want to forget it so lee was one of my brothers who literally taught me how to be slow to speak and swift to hear he was that perfect example many times when i went to him with the problem he listened to the full story even if that story took me an hour hour and a half two hours could have taken me at least all day but he never said a word he would always be that person that would let you get finished with the whole story that's just who he was and after i finished he would always pause and if you all knew him the next word will come out well and then he would give you a solution to the story or give you something to do to encourage you he never discouraged you he was always there for his family even if what i came to him may not have been really interesting you know he all he never you never knew that he was not interested he was just there he was the listener and that was very important to me he also taught me how to be humble and patient you see he's saying because he loved to sing some people may sing for different reasons but one reason why he did sing is because he actually loved to sing you know and just have as we have learned over the years you know we learned that he was the i believe the salutatorian of his class and and i believe that god began to work with him then because he began to give him words and things to say and things on his heart so a lot of times a bunch of the songs that he did are actually right they really came from within i believe i heard someone say that they came from the heart you know that's why he could write about come on let's have a good time or you know just different songs that he did sing because they literally came from the heart and he really taught us how to be patient and kind and that was one thing you know when you humble yourself before the mighty hands of god god will lift you up and i believe that that's how he got where he was because he was so humble he was so patient god at the due time he lifted him up and he became who he was even when he got what some people began to say you know he was known all over the world he never changed when my sisters came to the house when my brothers came to the house different people would come my children your children he was always unclear to everybody he would always try to buy things from the store for everybody he always tried to get everybody something to eat he was just lee whether he was known to the world or whether he was just himself not known to anyone he was always the same that was a big encourage to me and i'm glad that god loned him to me i'm glad i'm glad to have been a part of his family i don't have a lot of stories to tell that willie had but i do want to say this to the william family destiny is a part of our lives and if we define our destiny we divide we define where god wants to place us from the look of jeremiah jeremiah 1 and 4 said from your mother's womb i knew you he found destiny and purpose for his life that's why all of us can say that this man was a legend in his time and that's why we listened to the voices he said he found his purpose if you can find your purpose you can fulfill what god has called you to do here in the earth god bless you that's it so praise the lord everyone praise the lord everyone praise the lord everyone somebody shout hallelujah somebody tell the lord thank you tell them thank you one more time thank you glory hallelujah trust in the lord with all that heart and lean not to the i want to understand it in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy past i want to say a couple of things about my nephew lee williams we practically was raised in the same house he had four brothers that formed a little group under the senior group called the gospel stars junior gospel stars consisted of willie lee robert and frank and one of lee's favorite songs back at that time was eager stirred her nest did you anybody in the building remember that song i think it was the southern wonders that sung it but anyway lee williams have always been a humble individual humble when i say humble i mean humble we talk many times many of you all don't know that lee start the leading songs and one of his favorite songs at that time was jesus is alive and well anybody in the building remember that song jesus is alive and well he wasn't the main lead singer of the spiritual qcs in which i was a member of the original group the spiritual qcs later on in 1964 i think it was i moved to st louis lee kept the name of the original accuses going many times lee and the qcs would come to saint louis did nobody hardly come out to the program to see him i think one time i had them i think we came within like 38 dollars and making our expenses for i could give leave them something to go back home with so we saw the time when he was down here but when god put his stamp on something when god put his stamp on something otherwise if man puts you up man can pull you down but if god elevate you can nobody pull you down except you do it yourself but if you walk upright before god no good thing he's withhold from you one of the least favorite songs was we talked many times on the phone that when he having problems he's called me we talk we talk and watch i try to give him a word of encouragement a solution to his problem and one thing i noticed about him that when he have heard what i said to him when i get through target he said thank you sir i know he have heard what i had to say to him but he will listen one of his favorite songs we talked about his songs jesus is alive and well come on let's have a good time personally [Music] love will go all the way you can run but you can't hide but one of his favorite songs he told me was i can't i can't give up now god bless you all and thank you for supporting my nephew in jesus name amen good evening oh yes thank you i guess i know more about lee you need a brother he had or any of my brother other than his mother i open up to him he knows some things about me whatever you read was you wanted to get the root of it jump to the old gospel style which where it come out from you got to have a root somewhere that that was where it come out from and then they were the route that he started in on them and i used to come to me a lot of time he said he said they get me to sign that funeral he said what should i do he said i don't want to pull out the issues of life on them and they're in trouble already i said i can't help you with that and that's what i liked about him if he didn't believe in it he didn't he didn't fool me and i lived at the bottom he had a lot of my qualities and i loved it yeah yeah look my two brothers there when they would get the same when they first started the saying y'all know y'all tell me he should have been talking about lee but that's the rule and they were able to get up thoughts when they started to sing a lot of them or people get up start going out and sooner or later they would they would hold him until the last to keep the people from leaving i ain't bragging on them but the boys were saying you you what you what what i mean about that if you uh you got up behind mitchell you didn't because he done sung in the spirit and the honest way you can communicate with god is in it and through we you see we're gonna the god is in a different dimension than we are and you can't get there only through the spirit and now i love what's going on here we run around people now who talked about the issues of life just like he was last time i talked with him that he would relate himself you know he said we were talking about [Music] [Music] it would be the spiritual qc's mr james bellard and glenn stephenson of mcg records and brother linwood and after that deacon harvard watkins jr come and i come back after that i want to give god all honor and praise to all and to all of you i guess i'm a part of the latter years qcs and behalf of the spiritual qcs i can say one thing about this man he took me all over the world with him and uh i thank miss anne for sharing him with us and all his family i'm gonna miss him and i know the guy's gonna miss him you know but i don't know how to say it he was just he was one of a kind he used to i was telling mr dean last night and i said he had me in the dressing room he would call me over to the side he said man what you think about it i said it's all right i said that's good man it's got us good and bad when you get back to him he said i love it because i wouldn't take nothing for it what i'm saying i've never seen nobody love what he do so much and when he's saying you know a lot of times i would say hey many folks here why are you singing so hard and so long but that was him it was all or nothing so i thank god for having an opportunity to go with this man and i pray that the rest of the fellas loved it like i did and and give him honor because he wasn't just in management over us he guided me he took me in back in i came in like seven eight men now that's 40-something years and um man i tell folks listen man i ain't know nothing about nothing i said we used to pay the same and to be honest with you when they do when we did get blessed to make a little money we really didn't know what to do with it you know what i'm saying i mean you know we knew how to spin it but it was it was like man you know a little punch o'clock and trying to work you know but it was a blessing and all and to all the fans all over i thank god for you all i've had so many phone calls from all over the world you know saying that they couldn't make it we understand but it's just the thought they count and i want to say to the family we do bless y'all and pray that he give you strength to move on and he will you will and i thank god for all of you all thank you come on let's get a qc's at hand come on you ought to be standing all over this building around this around this auditorium come on [Music] now i fail to say one thing let's try to keep it at two minutes amen uh and at this time we have brother james bullard and brother glenn stevenson from mcg records brother linwood coming after that and deacon harvard watkins jr i'll come out there so y'all two minutes to talk and 15 seconds to get happy amen good afternoon saints there's a lot to be thankful for for brother lee williams that's a lot first of all i want to say to you miss annie your spirit when we first started this i watch you on a lot of the videos and just your spirit and happiness for your husband i'll never forget that and your children sack and cece there you're dead and all of you is a special man lee i've never met a person like brother williams he never let success change him he was a servant unto god for the world there's a lot of great things that happened through this group but brother lee williams stayed humble to the cause god has been dealing with me and i have to i have to i have to go through this journey i know you said two minutes i have to go through this journey real quick because god did it but that was pieces to this journey the original bishop thornton in the early days we thank you elder mitchell thornton we thank you because without you all a lot of this would not have happened then we met even before we met you all brother al hollis leonard shumpert the late roger mckinney that was the start of this journey then there were other pieces other qc's we thank you i never take anything for granted as uh as i grew with brother lee williams this was not an accident this was a move of god the sunday night that i saw him for the work saw them for the very first time we were in phoenix city alabama 150 miles from where i live i went there to see who this really was and yes at that time it was 1996 i think i went downstairs we met exchanged cards and god did it and one thing i know the world will agree with me what seemed like not a whole lot god decided he would take this group to be the example of what didn't look like a whole lot and bless them from the bottom to the top that is something that i will never forget the ministry that this group and there's many great groups their ministry touched thousands not millions of people for real we have got those calls from people that said i've been a lady i want to say this real quick one sunday we were in greenville south carolina at the start of this spirit fasting that big event in september just had last week lee went to the radio station this particular sunday morning and we were leaving the radio station and lady was outside saying can i speak to you brother lee williams for one moment she was on her way to church lee being nice she walked up to and listened to her she says your ministry touched me and my husband and i just had to stop by here to tell you thank you for what you've done she said i know you got this concert she said if you don't mind will you just stop by the church just for a minute brother lee williams being the man that he is he looked at me he pointed at me he didn't say nothing he just pointed me i said let's do it we went to that church that sunday morning met the pastor brought us up to the front brother lee williams was a blessing to that church he didn't fuss i said once i leave you ready to go he said no i'm okay just him being the servant and being obedient to the cause one other thing real quick i remember one night one one weekend we were in rocky mountain north carolina the beginnings of this journey george dean in the gospel four and lee williams and a lot of you know how close those two groups were that particular sunday morning the gospel four's band broke down and leave me and lee did not want to leave them in north carolina so it got late i said lee we need to get on to atlanta they're gonna think we're not gonna come so lee myself george dean and i think it was patrick got in my car went to atlanta the thing that sticks out with that lee made the qcs wait for the gospel for to get straight he didn't want to leave his friends that was lee williams at his best and i'll never forget that then we got to atlanta and this is kind of funny to me lee says uh we're not that late they haven't even left the people in the building what lee didn't know those people that was standing down that sidewalk were people that wanted to get into the church that was the early signs of oh lord we got something and just that look on lee williams face like man i can't believe this but i'll never forget brother lee williams songs the qc's there's a message in all of those songs me and brother harbor watkins talk that monday i think it was the six and i said man the gift that god gave lee williams to write songs it's not accident it's not an accident to the family again we love you we thank you for this journey to the fans all over the world it did not happen without you it did not happen one other thing brother cece i told you this last night i don't know what god is going to do but i know he's getting ready to do something through you amen thank you and god bless you to mr williams and [Music] the rest of the family relatives and friends [Music] from [Music] every city and state that you represent i told glenn i was gonna say all that i want to talk about lee williams the god sent messenger lee williams have healed more people then you can imagine we have received letters after letters after letters about the healing that's happened to people on the sick bed not only women but men and children it's amazing what god has done through him but lee william knew that god chose him he knew that now he also knew that he was a human being a mortal man every one of us in here have come short of the blessings of god but what god when he give you an assignment the results of that assignment when you carry it out is really unbelievable the way you help people i want to say for lee to all singers in this building in this world lee williams allowed god to come through him to the people it's time out really god want to bless the world right now the world is at a standstill with this copic man has tried everything he can to cue it but until we fall to our knees and ask god to forgive us we'll be stumbling and fumbling lee william was a perfect example to human being men women boys girl i received a call from a lady a caucasian that says i want to buy a record on lee williams so he my my son he wants this record he heard it from an inmate he was incarcerated he was in prison he said but he heard this song by lee william from an inmate can you sell me a copy so i can give it to him i said no ma'am we can't sell you a copy but we will give you a copy one for you one for your son a cd and a dvd the lady called back a few months later and said her son had rededicated his life to god singers artists ministers christians god want us to come on and be real he he want us to really really serve him i remember when glenn stevenson first introduced me to lee william we was at a small church in birmingham alabama they called the group up to sing and everybody in the church got up and i said what are they standing up for so i stepped out in the aisle to see what was going on and they were standing because of the ministry that was coming through this group i've seen a lot but it's not every day that you see people you don't have to say stand you don't have to clap your hands give them what god put in you and they will honor him by standing and praising him with you we got a lot of work to do amen we got a lot of work to do and singers ministers lay people lee william was a perfect example humble is the way yeah humble is the way don't you stand up let god stand up in you yes sir mrs williams i retired about three four years ago but if you need me if the family need me i'll do what i can because what you gave to the world does not come every day amen god bless you amen brother lynnwood amen all right deacon no okay all right deacon watkins howard walker's giving my hand as he comes praise the lord everybody we are happy to be here i want to say thank god and may god bless the williams family ah very very brief uh breathe as brief as i

said okay yes ma'am so i got in my car and went to chick-fil-a hallelujah i got in my car and my truck and i went to chick-fil-a and when i was waiting on my food a young man walked up to me said he's not you however why could i say yes sir he said did you know mr lee william i said yes sir he said can i ask you a question i said yes sir he said what do you think made him so unique he said my mama my auntie my sister they just love him to death i said mine too he said he said he said what do you think that really made him so unique i said well it's what the spirit gave him to say i said now he took old song i learned to lean and he just said when you showed enough nietzsche kenfo they'll turn and then then melvin melvin had him in the studio and he didn't even want to sing the song never had him singing cool and water he didn't even want to sing i could see him standing over there i'm not sitting over there look at him heaven with his eyes closed but when they messed around and gave him the mic at least started patting his feet both ways and then lee said i'm reminded of another water [Music] that's what made him that's what made him so unique to me what he said and the young man asked me are you going to the funeral i said on the way i don't they got to shut the highway down and he said well are you going to shame i said no sir i said my whole voice ain't good like it used to be he said what all the songs you got he said if you were gonna sing what would you say i said well i was saying the song the last time i saw lee he couldn't see me so i whispered his ear and told him

a few years before that i was sitting on my my couch in the living room with my acoustic guitar and i start picking a little song that said cool and water i didn't have no idea what i was doing and i just i guess god put the words in my mouth and said from my grandmama's 1997. [Music] doug and i was in the studio doing uh a duets project we had did songs from with yolanda adams on down a lot of waters all over the world all over the united states and uh at that time as a matter of fact lee williams and mr bullard actually had turned down cooling water [Music] and doug said at the time so well since they turned the song down because they wanted another blessed new we another blessing he got a chance to do both of them as a matter of fact and after that he said bring lee williams down why don't you bring him down dude do it with you as cool and whatever do it and the rest is history the last i checked with my boy my buddy my friend [Music] the last i checked on youtube that song because of him and god the concept video had over 21 million views see that went over somebody's head i didn't say just the people in two below i said over 21 million views of cooling water watch this dance and i want to pass the torch on i want to ask his son to come up here cece will y'all give him a hand the williams brothers would like to pass that torch on after we retire i want to see the qcs and cece singing this song and i want y'all to just join in with you with us and

theodore simmons wjtv channel 12 jackson and the sound stage event could you give all of them a hand [Music] before pastor peters come i want to say this i don't think mr lee would want to have it no other way but like this and can i get the room to come on blue when i said he retired on top but that wasn't his greatest accomplishment his greatest is when he walked through those gates and got a chance to see jesus for himself so one more time [Music] in his legacy we're down to the part that all of us need to hear and family you can remain seated but everybody that's what you stand as the man of god come to break the bread of life but you clap [Music] let every breathing believers say together hallelujah come on you can do better than that come on say hallelujah again will you join me in giving god the biggest handclap of praise you have available [Music] i honor with such a great deal of my respect all of the wonderful ecclesiastical representation who share the platform with me today most certainly to our presiding elder pastor armando adams to pastor dr ronnie strong uncle ronnie and i affectionately call him so many others who are here today most certainly to this family i'd like to begin by just saying what a mighty god we serve come on somebody what a mighty god we served angels bow before him heaven and earth adore him and it rings aloud what a mighty mighty god [Music] [Music] [Music] to have this chance because people say that our generation and our generation doesn't know how to honor trailblazers people say that our generation doesn't know how to really appreciate those who went before us and accomplish what we're trying to do [Music] they say that we want their success but we don't want their struggles or their stories but today this platform this opportunity gives me a chance to speak on behalf of our generation to let you know that we have a great deal of respect for all of those who plays the trail for us and we would be nothing without the personality of a mr lee williams and so many other giants clap your hands and tell the lord thank you come on clap your hands and tell the lord thank you all right it's still sunday and i pray i see this prayer that you will just talk back with me while i preach this particular message i want you to just if you don't mind look over at your neighbor and just fist bump them and say hey neighbor come on i can't hear y'all i know it's cold out there but just have five piss bump your neighbor say hey baby when i look back over my life there's a lot of testimonies i got but there's just one that i gotta tell you about tonight and i want you to sing these words wow [Applause] uh [Music] [Music] if yes yes my policy of preaching quickly is that noise speeds me up silence slows me down so if y'all [Music] if y'all talk back to me it'll take me about 18 minutes but if y'all don't say nothing to me it's gonna take me about an hour and 32 minutes [Music] touch your neighbors and you better talk back to him [Music] matthew 25 21. the word of the lord says his lord said unto him well done thy good and faithful servant thou has been faithful over a few things and i will make the ruler over many enter into the joy of the lord feel myself slowing down already his lord said unto him well done thy good and faithful servant thou hast been faithful over a few things and i will make the ruler over many things into thou unto the joy of the lord brothers and sisters i just like to talk for a few moments about two words well done will you help me shout well done [Music] brothers and sisters beloved i'd like to begin my preaching presentation this afternoon by just simply telling you family and friends that it is with great humility that i salute today what i feel like was a great man a man i would like to label as what one of god's best i'm honored to be able to stand to build a hearty good night to one of a kind in my eye and in my heart mr lee williams was an exceptional gift an incredible artist the world's favorite singer a well-thought songwriter and an unforgettable encounter in my eyes his voice was simply deep and distinctive until he decided he wanted to raise it up and when he raised his voice then his voice became strong and confident i'd like to just tell you that i believe his style was original his swag was undeniable and his personality was an experience within itself everybody who had a soul felt and fell in love with howard mr lee williams was full of success yet he was clothed in simplicity lee williams the only man i know that would stand in one place reach in his pocket and pull out a white hanky and fold it up and then pet his face and then persuade the whole world to come on let's have a good time i stand today as an appreciator of god's divine timeline and god's order as a young preacher um i did and was afforded the opportunity to do all of mr lee's and the qc's devotions at their live recordings in memphis but today by god's divine authority and order i am now older and a little bit wiser and now i'm not here to do mr lee's devotion but i'm here to give his earthly benediction i am here brothers and sisters to tell you that i am of the spiritual persuasion that the words well done is now mr lee's portion when i consider the star lee williams walls to the world the general he was to the quartet nation and when i hear about the pillar that he wants to his family some people uh oh i'm going slowing down again some people will call him a celebrity other people will call him an icon some other people harvey would call him a superstar uncle ronnie others would call him the great the greatest of all times other people would say he's the cream of the crop somebody would say he's the best to ever do it somebody would call it number one but today i'd like to refer to mr lee williams as a real legend ain't nobody talking to me now i believe shantae that after careful and diligent calculation of how long he lasted and out of consideration to who he was i'd just like to call him a real legend brothers and sisters i need to tell you with the help of the holy ghost that a legend is an extremely famous and notorious person a legend is someone who has mastered in a particular field a legend is somebody that is not just famous but they are important and who is known for doing something extremely well nobody did it like lee williams i mean people would often try to mimic him and try to imitate him but i'd like to tell you that lee williams will never be duplicated and brothers and sisters i need to tell you that legends are not just legends and they are not greatly valued because of of the love that they had on earth but legends are remembered by the lessons they leave behind and i'm here to tell you brothers and sisters that our legend mr lee williams was not only loved while he was alive but he left behind some lessons and i know and i know i talk to a room full of people that have been spiritually small and now the church is guilty of raising a whole lot of superstars with huge egos and can't nobody tell them nothing but there are some lessons that we can learn from a legend oh ain't nobody helping me let me call your attention theologically to matthew chapter 25 uncle ronnie i've got about 12 more minutes this parabola of the talents here this master who is leaving his house to travel up and before leaving he entrusted his property to his servants and expected them to handle business while he was gone the word of god declares according to their own abilities each man one servant received five talents the second had received two and the third man only received one the property that was entrusted to these servants was worth more than money and upon returning home after a long absence the master asked his three servants for an account of what they did with the talents he entrusted them with the first and the second servants explained that that they put in the work and they were diligent and they did all they could and as a result they doubled the value of the property in which the master had put them in charge of all but then the third guy messed around and didn't do anything with hills and however he all he did was merely hide his talent burying it in the ground and he was punished by the master and the master called him wicked and lazy this parable of the talents is among some one of the most abused texts in the new testament because contrary to the popular belief the parable does not just uh justify a gospel of economic prosperity but instead it challenges believers to do the work until the master comes back here this text brothers and sisters is amazing because like many others here it is the return of the master was certain but the timing was unknown he gave them all that he had he gave them talents to watch after up and they were supposed to do the work and double the value and here it is now that he's sure to come back but the timing is unknown after a long absence he decides what each servant has done with the talent that he entrusted him with the master expected them to continue business brothers and sisters this sounds quite amazing to me because i need to tell you that in the year of 1946 that our god was generous enough to place some property and some talent and some gifts in the hands of a lot of people in the year of 1946 the lord was not stingy he was plentiful in his giving for in the year of 1946 mama there are some important people that were born in 46. in 1946 the american actor sylvester stallone was born the american director and producer steven spielberg the 43rd president was born in 1946 george w bush 42nd president bill clinton the 45th president donald trump was born in 1946 singer songwriter and actress dolly pardon was born in 1946 y'all ain't saying nothing to me the french wrestler and actor andre the great was born in 1946 american actor old man danny glover was born in 1946 god wasn't stingy with the gifts when he decided that he was going to give some gifts in 1946 he gave a whole lot of susan summers with one of them a famed singer and pastor reverend bishop al green was one but there was another legend that was born in 1946 and his name is mr lee williams and although i've watched a lot of tv i never met george bush never met bill clinton never met donald trump know nothing really about danny glover but i'm here to tell you that i believe that the one lord have mercy who showed us the most of what it looks like to be a legend was lee williams do you all mind preaching with me for just a moment i need to tell you brothers and sisters and i pick back up here every legend leaves behind some lessons you don't come in the presence of a legend and they not leave behind melvin some lessons so i was on my patio the other day and i was just sitting there reading and meditating and i could hear mr lee talking to me i said i i said mr lee out of all of these sell-out crowds out of all of these hit songs hit records people standing around walls to hear you and see you what are the lessons that i can share with the people who love you who still got to do the work until the master come he said to me he said son i need you to give them four things and he said to me he said i need you to help them to understand that they will never hear the words well done unless they do some stuff well lord i feel jesus in here i i i i i i i i i heard him i heard him he said it he said it clipped to me he said son i need you to go in there and i need you to tell them in that bank corps shop arena down there in tupelo he said i need you to go in there and tell them that they're never here well done until they learn how to master some things there are some things in this life that you've got to be diligent about and i said mr lee what what what are your lessons what are your lessons he said tell them he says number one this is what i did until the master came back with me and this how i doubled the value this how i did well with my gifts and this how i did well with my talents i said what is it that we need to do well he says number one you need to tell them they gotta separate well then secondly he told me to tell y'all you gotta learn how to stand well then thirdly he says you got to learn how to serve well and then the fourth one is not a popular one 12 of y'all are hollow back at me but mr lee said you got to learn how to suffer well now now i know i know i i know i know trust me trust me brothers and sisters i know i know i know i know i know i said the same thing i said to mr lee i said these lessons are quite familiar he says what are you saying i said well mr lee your lessons add up with the life of jesus jesus was the legend of all legends he separated well he stood well he served well and he suffered well now for 12 of y'all that don't mind talking to me these lessons was jesus's life and now these lessons and jesus's life is now our homework and if we are going to ever hear him say well done there's some stuff we got to do well now i'm not here to offend the church or the superstars but i think i need to tell y'all somewhere down the line we missed the mark mr lee say you got to tell them son they got to learn how to separate whale what i remember mr lee williams he was never an in-crowd guy whenever i saw him most of the time until the boys came along the side of him he was just struck by himself sometimes he would sit along but that's not the separation that he wanted me to share with you about he said you got to learn how to separate well in other words i asked him what was he talking about he said that there ought to be a distinct difference between the saved you all ain't hearing me and they aren't saying i wish i had a church in here every singer wants mr lee's success but the singers don't want to separate y'all are hearing what i'm saying in here i need you to fish about your name and say hey neighbor you got to learn how to separate you know you know back in the church we used to say save and sanctify most of the time brother glee what i understand help me hear and when i tell you this aquaronic that separation was often lord help me equate it to sanctification but most people thought sanctification was noise they thought that if you shouted hard you were sanctified they thought if you had a loud church that beat a lot of tambourines that you were sanctified but sanctification was never the noise it was the separation lord ain't nobody helping me it was the ability to be able to separate well blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly nor stand it in the way of the sinners nor sitted in the seat of the scone for mr lee said to me he said son you got to tell them to learn they got to separate whale ain't nothing in the crowd ain't nothing in the crowd you got to learn how to separate yourself if you're going to stand in front of people you got to take your salvation serious he said to me he said son i wasn't perfect but i learned how to separate well i picked up my bible and began to read 2nd corinthians chapter 6 verse number 14 that said be ye not i'm equally yoked together with unbelievers for what fellowship does the righteous have with the unrighteous and what communion have light with darkness i want you to know brothers and sisters leaves listen said we got a separate well second thing lee's lesson says we've got to do is stand well we got to learn how to just stand for something we've got to learn how to stand on something we've got to learn how to stand with something and brother lee's lesson share with us today brothers and sisters i'm just about done but my gear is slowing all the way down because ain't nobody saying nothing but i'm trying to get out of here quickly but you got to learn how to stand well to stand for something is to have and to maintain an upright position you got to understand that every now and then you can't let success make you a wondering stuff you got to learn how to stand for something i've never seen a day before in my life like i see right now and some of y'all to talk back to when i said it just looked like it just looked like the church has began to do whatever it wants to do and nobody man you all know that nobody is standing for anything we sit around but and let people do whatever they want to do say whatever they want to say we tell people it ain't where you go it's how you act when you get there but oh yes it is where you go sometime these lessons teaches us that we've got to learn how to stand for something when you fist bump your neighbor two more times and say hey neighbor i i i want a lot of things out of life but but someday i'm just not willing to get them any kind of way lee's lesson said we gotta y'all ain't helping me preach we gotta separate well we gotta stand well the third thing he told me you gotta serve where you are this word shout this word excuse me serve shout serve serve shout serve shout serve shout out shout sir do you see i'm confused sir shout shout serve and this is the confusion that has corrupted our churches because we feel like we can shout our way into anything but it looked like ain't nobody willing no more to serve everybody thinks that they can just show up and do whatever they want to do but your shouting is good but if you ever want to be successful and go up in the kingdom you got to learn how to serve and you got to serve well i picked up my bible again brothers and sisters and i looked at this and i hear the galatians 3 and 23 said whatsoever ye do do it wholeheartedly it's to the lord and not under man and knowing that our lord you shall receive the reward inheritance for ye shall serve the lord matthew 6 and 24 says these words brother melvin williams no man can serve two masters for either he will hate the one and love the other or else he will hold to the one and despise the other you cannot serve god amen will you just look over at your neighbor and say neighbor i feel myself about to go up a little higher brothers and sisters the last thing he said to me i'm done he says son you got to tell them that if they're going to hear the words well done then they're going to have to learn how to suffer well i i need to tell y'all that everybody lord have mercy want good days but don't nobody want bad days everybody want to go up but don't nobody ever want to go down but uh i just need to tell y'all that we gotta learn how to suffer well lord help me to close this and to suffer simply means to be subject to something bad or lord have mercy unpleasant and i just stopped by to tell you all that mr lee suffered well i wish i had a help in here we watched him get on that van and get on those stages and sometimes he was so frail but he was determined to suffer well the house because he knew if he suffered well then he [Music] a great would i need to tell y'all that there was another man that suffered well mr lee was not the only man that suffered away jesus i wish y'all would help me here cheers but he never said a mumbling word he just suffered and he suffered well i said turn [Music] and for the last time tap your neighbor on the shoulder and say never you got to know that one day you're gonna have to give him a counter for what you did with what the master gave you but i yeah to tell you that i believe in my heart that mr lee did well with what god gave him and if you don't mind i want you to help me through a big party and a celebration for a legend lord have mercy that that separated away help me celebrate a legend ah that stood away help me celebrate a legend that served well help me celebrate a legend that suffered well and i can hear his master saying well well well done by good and faithful servants the true and living god while i tell you some of y'all still look at her like he's still sick but a healing heart has made its arrival yeah yes after he said to them good and faithful servant you've been faithful over a few things come on i'll make you ruler over many the last closest enter rest on good night sir we'll see you in the morning we'll see you you're only helping me in the morning legend you told us that you weren't gonna give up and you didn't you told us you weren't gonna give up there and you did not you told us [Music] and because of your separation because of your serving and because of your suffering if you did it we believe we can choose everybody that love god stretch your hands and open up your mouth teach me i love my enemies so [Music] and praise god [Music] [Music] yes [Music] brothers and sisters [Music] hear me when i tell you this these lessons was also jesus's life the life of jesus and the lessons that this legend left behind match and sequence so greatly you'll never hear nothing else i said one day the master is going to return and he's going to want to know what did you do [Music] with what he gave you [Music] when he comes back he's gonna ask for an account of what you did with what he gave me and it is just mine it's just my spiritual perspective that if we've ever had an example we had it [Music] in this legend [Music] so as you go back to your lives singers [Music] singers as you return back to the stage musicians as you pick back up your instruments cc as you stand the same side remember that you will never hear well done until you learn how to do some things well i believe that this is not the end of a thing but it is the beginning of a thing [Music] i believe in my heart that things are shifting and god is raising up a nation [Music] as he expressed to jeremiah separate well let there be a distinct difference [Music] find you a pastor i know you're busy but find your church where you can grow because one day one day life is gonna bring you to face a battle that your song can't get you out you've got to learn how to serve well god is just not trusting people with the field no more if they can't handle the house [Music] serve your family's well serve your church as well serve your communities [Music] but suffer well [Music] if everyone will stand with me everyone please [Music] the only way i know to receive the will of god [Music] is by worshiping and praising our god if you believe in your heart like i do [Music] that this legend did well you believe in your heart like i do that he has heard those words well done i want you to do me a favor put your hand together open your mouth as loud as you can and let's give god praise and glory [Music] come on you can do better than that you may never got a chance to get close to him to tell him you were proud of it come on my brothers and sisters when peace like a river attended my way when like singular whatever my lot [Music] thou has taught me to sing it is well it is well with my soul come on tell the lord thank you give the lord a hand of praise [Music] let's enjoy brother josh before we exit hallelujah [Music] i solicit your prayers for this family today is not the end of it but it is the beginning of a beginning of a journey that they will need all the love that they can get we honor the lord for the life the love and the legacy of mr lee williams he will forever live directors [Music] so [Music] do when we were working on a record we wrote a song [Music] if you call me [Music] maybe um [Music] good [Music] and [Music] it may be [Music] baby [Music] i'm already it's just [Music] yes [Music] is i just died [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] is [Music] is is [Music] [Music] i don't have to worry [Music] [Music] uh [Music] is [Music] uh me [Music] oh [Music] oh is uh [Music] wow
