don't even get a chance to taste the food no more why because we're moving and we rush it and we going amen and so I'm super excited today I'm super excited praise God I'm super excited we're gonna get into the word and I'm gonna be really trying to try my hardest to go to another verse I try to go to another chapter but God was like you got to stay here I got some more stuff in this particular message and this particular chapter and this particular story that I need to get out all right so again I'm super excited I don't know if you're looking at my screen but there for today the work that the Lord put in my spirit was rise a man rise I won't just say rise a man rise I want you to feel that word and in the midst of everything we're going through God has commanded us to rise amen rise amen so if you like me like my second home probably my first home is Delta airline to be honest with you amen and when you are when you get on the plane one of the things that I love about flying is that regardless of what the weather is like Amen when we take off when we get above the clouds rise are you oh you hear what I'm saying like this ain't no airplane in a helicopter amen they go above the clouds 30,000 33,000 feet above ground listen to me very closely and when you get past the clouds like if the Sun is always shining and what God is saying that there those of you in this particular time you need to rise amen you knit you need to rise Amen there those of you right now you still stuck on ground level or you might be just above ground level and what I need you to do for me and we're gonna get into the word what I need you to do for me is allow God amen to allow you to ride like I was teasing with your mall and I was like yo Jamal I can't keep up with y'all my legs too small and Jamal said that's all righty cuz you got wings are you hearing I'm said and that's what I need you to do for me today right now I need you to clear your mind and when God speaks to you I need you to rise rise above your current circumstance rise rise rise above everything that's going on around you rise like like I need you to get to a point Amen that that that while you are in the midst of it you are not experiencing it like everybody else is experiencing it on come on I'm talking to somebody I want you to I want people to look at you like you crazy because the way you are experiencing it the way you are going through it ha come on the way you are going through it the way you were in it the way that you're dealing with it people don't think you crazy why because like a plan you you rise you are rising above all of it all of the stuff you're rising above it ain't meant through Christ Jesus every high my bad Jamie let's get goin man let's get goin hallelujah hallelujah keep going I'm excited today I got my shoes off amen for the ground we stand on his holy ground Amen praise God so let's go Joshua chapter one and then we're gonna start in verse one amen and after the death of Moses hallelujah Amen I want you to get this in your spirit because I want you to understand for Joshua Amen this is this is devastation we talked about this last week I want to make sure you're clear that that for Joshua this is devastation after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass that the Lord spake to Joshua son of God Moses assisted saying I want to stop right there before we move forward I want you to stay in verse 1 amen and after the death of Moses and what I try to explain to you is that when Joshua was a little boy when Joshua was a little boy he saw the hand of God on Moses there was never a leader Moses died at 120 I told you the Bible says there will never be and that whenever was and will never be a prophet or leader like Moses amen look look throughout all of religion we may have our differences but Moses ain't one of them Amen like we believe everybody understands believes and knows who Moses is listen to me very closely Joshua as a child is looking up to Moses Joshua has a child sees the miracles of Moses Joshua sees when Moses tells everybody to put the blood on the doorpost and how in the devil amen the spirit of death moved on that place and everybody lost their firstborn child guess what nobody had the blood on their doorpost lost one Joshua saw this with his own eyes he saw Moses with his great statue when he would come off the mound and had the very spirit of the Living God on him he saw Moses with the rod and as he went boom put his rods stabbed on the water he saw the waters Swift he heard the promises of God through Moses and Joshua was like whoa everything he believed and everything he saw was through this man Moses he he was like whoa we got we go into the Promised Land I believe as a matter of fact I told you last week that they sent 12 spies to go look at the land that God had promised ten came back and said we can't do it to Joshua and Caleb said we can take the city listen to me his whole life he's looked up to Moses whole life he believed in motion his whole life he thought he was his leader who was going to take him to the promised land and he wakes up one day and God comes and bust his bubble God burst his philosophical idea of how things were going to happen and God said like let listen to me very closely I'm coming to you why because Moses is not going to have a funeral there's no funeral for Moses like nobody knows where Moses is I told you last week Moses will go to the Mount for four weeks at a time some 30 40 day he would spend time on the Mount of Sinai Moses would just be gone spending time with God and so everybody's thinking like Oh Moses where's mother Moses probably on the Mount with God but God came to joseline said he not on the mount this time he's not on the mouth this time this time I've taken my son and brought my son home Moses is dead Moses is dead devastated and folks devastated that the economy is crashed your job right now I told you to go home it might not be a job when you come back listen to me very closely something in your life right now is there but I need you to do me a favor don't don't vote don't focus on the job don't focus on the economy don't focus on your rent though Moses is dead but what what's this Jamie I like this part right here but but why says the Lord spoke to Joshua the Lord spoke to Joshua okay i oughtta catch let me read it one more time okay so the first thing that happened is after the death of Moses Amen so Moses died Amen but what happened what happened Jamie after he died Amen we didn't stop with the death the next thing that happened was God spoke what I want you to do is stop focusing on death and I want you to focus on the world of God God's about to speak something into you that is dead amen that is dead but you ain't dead that is dead the economy might be dead your your your your your our savings might be dead the job you once knew might be dead but it'd still be very closely the Word of God ain't dead I told you a lot of stuff is closed God enclosed there are a lot of people panicking God a panicking there's a lot of people worried right now God ain't worried God is the Alpha and the Omega the beginning here this didn't sneak up on gods are you hearing what I'm telling you and so I need you to stop focusing on the death some of y'all I saw you talking about right now is the death Moses is dead but the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of nun Moses assistant saying what does God say to you right now shut up shut up with all that complaining shut up with all that whining shut up talking about the dead he's dead Moses is dead but the Bible says after the death of Moses now God is speaking directly to all you miss what I just said before Moses were speaking to Joshua now Moses is dead and now God is speaking to job God wants to speak directly to you in these times God's got a word for you right now and it ain't that it ain't death watch this oh hey let's go I'm sorry Jamie let's go all right what did God specifically say to Joshua I want you to see this this is deep and mosè Moses he told him one more time Jamie he said Moses my servant is dead okay so is he's dead we're not about to have a pity party about it listen to me very closely we're not by matter of fact last time I checked Jamie they didn't even have a ceremony let that get in your spirit that'll be back for one of the greatest prophets that ever lived they didn't even have a ceremony god didn't my Joshua didn't talk about it he said Moses my servant is dead now therefore arise come on somebody are you hearing what I'm saying God said get your butt up get up and there those of you right now your problem is you focus on the dead you won't you won't keep me looking at how many people got the virus how many people died you're waking up every day counting the desk Moses is dead Moses is dead Moses is dead Moses is dead there's nothing we can do about it arise I'm talking to somebody right now you've been on that couch all week you've been in your room all week wondering do I'm not gonna get it next now that's all you and why are you thinking like that because all you folks at home is to death and I'm trying to tell you that Moses is dead and now God's got a word for you God's got a word for you Joshua God's got a world for you Joshua God wants to speak to you this is not the time to have a pity party this is not a time to whine and cry this is this is the time to rise this is the time to elevate this is the time to go to another level arise arise get up Joshua let's go okay but God Moses dead watch this watch this Jimmy what make sure you're clear because just human nature Moses is there so it's so human nature if this is your mentor if this is your leader if this is your spiritual guy if this is the person you watch do miracles if this was the person that you believed what would take you to the promised land Jamie at this particular point you're could be rocks you're thinking okay no more Promised Land okay no more Moses okay Who am I going to talk to okay what am I going to do and God understood the way the human mind worked and so the first thing he said to his son was arise come out of that mindset come on somebody I'm talking to you right now I'm trying to help you yes we're in a crazy situation yes it's weird yes we've never seen it before yes all of that but do me a favor rise Roz let God talk to you let God like like like you should be spending more time and this season listening you're both your ears should be open you ain't got a whole lot to do right now a man you're for many of you your jobs have been shut down you can't really go outside like there's no clubs hey man there you can't go to the library hey man you can't go to where you normally go for your social gathering you look you got God and saying I love you so much I'm about to give you time I'm about to get look you better make sure you take advantage and so and so instead of speaking about the death of Moses instead of having a pity party instead of allowing and it's so good I love it God didn't even give him like a month to recover oh come on Jamie God didn't give him two weeks to recover and man God didn't give him a week to recover God didn't get a boy 24 hours God said Moses is dead and after and after and after that sentence he says arise I don't want you thinking about his death I don't want you to think about what's next I don't want you to think about what does this mean it don't mean nothing Moses is dead Yahweh is alive i'ma say it one more time cuz I think you missed it yes Moses was great and yes Moses did great things and yes Moses is dead but Yahweh is a lie I am I am the Alpha and the Omega I am the beginning there I am did I have Moses said who do you tell him that said me tell him that I am that since you I am the I am a dad I am the Alpha in the Omega I am the beginning and the end I am the rose and said I am the wheel with that will I'm the rock in a weary land I'm the shelter in the towns oh oh oh I am I am with no where you gonna be alright as I was with Moses so shall I arise get your butt up this ain't time to be wider this ain't time to be cried this is time to get focused there are those of you with your selfish but God didn't call Joshua to rise for Joshua God told Joshua to arise because every promise that he was going to give to his people it couldn't happen without Joshua being with Joshua was supposed to be you were needed at this time and all you worried about is you you need it at this time you're needed at this time you're needed at this time we need your leadership at this time we need your image yet Joshua what would have happened if Moses were to die and then Joshua would have died and there are those of you you may not be physically dead but you are emotional and eventually dead I'm talking to people who said I'm about to lose my mind didn't go get it go get it back where is it I'm about to lose my mind you know it bothers me about humans if your throat is itching right and you feel a little scratching your throat you wake up and you go take something are you hear what I'm saying you gonna take something a man a man if there's something wrong with you and your girlfriend a boyfriend like you don't you go call you go buy flowers but it kills me that when we start having challenges with our mind we're just gonna you're just gonna lose your mind if you lose your keys you just don't lose your keys you go find them if you lost your mind go find your mind don't get your mind back the mind is the most important thing and God realized that that I gotta help Joshua keep his sanity I gotta help Joshua to keep his focus and so Jamie let's go let's go I want to show him what the word means arise I wanna I want to show them to become hardened or elated his spirits rose ah amen amen man gotta make sure I catch I gotta catch you because what happens is naturally when Moses died and Joshua got the news his spirits declined amen why is God speaking to him and telling him rods meaning to become hardened or elevated his spirits rose why is he saying that God is saying that because he naturally knew that when Joshua got the news that it was going to break his spirit and God is saying the news should not break your spirit because nothing has changed as I was with Moses meaning that that might power that was with Moses my instruction that was with Moses amen amen my direction that was with Moses like everything that were that my power that was with Moses everything that Moses had come on you better miss Rob said Joshua don't think because Moses is dead that that I'm dead don't think because Moses is dead that the power is dead don't think because Moses there that the energy is dead don't think that Moses did that the spirit is dead don't think that Moses is dead that the plan is dead don't think that Moses did that the people and me are dead no no no no no no no no I am get your butt up we got work to do Amen I'm telling y'all in this season the last thing we need for you to do in this season is to lose your mind you got people counting on you I don't care if there's five people counting on you I don't care if it's six right now you got a group of people in your home that needs your spirit like you got a group of people at home that don't need to be focusing on the death toll you got a group of people that don't need to be focusing on the negativity you got a great you didn't lost your mind if you lose your mind what you think will happen today mind and God understood that the promise of the people was hinged upon Joseph mental and emotional state and what do you tell them come on go back I'm sorry Jimmy can we go back to the scripture I just want to show you again cuz I wanna make sure you understand look listen to let's do me Moses is dead then what's the what's this first step Jamie what's the first action why now I told me last week Sonny was preaching that word and you forgot to give him the first principle go back go back take them back the first thing you got to do is arise elevate your spirit Roz elevate your spirit elevate your mind elevate show it arise all right are we gonna all right let's take him through the definition take a good death hurrah get your butt up arise Bosco face Arras brush your teeth stop acting like some bad habit ain't nothing bad happen and it went as long as God is still on the throne we gonna be alright as long as God is sitting on the throne we gonna be alright as long as God got I got the hole in my head I got the whole world in my head I got you and me come on he got the whole world in his hands until God comes off the throne we gonna be all right ain't nothing changed we gonna be all right ain't nothing change as long as God is still half with no makeup as long as God still rules the earth we gonna be all right we're gonna be all right don't you worship your 401k don't shoot worship your health benefits don't you worship your house don't you worship that's why that's why some of you going through it right now cuz your little gods your gods have fallen that's why you stress right now cuz your gods have fallen but I want you to know my God hadn't fallen your God has not fallen Yahweh still still on the throne Elohim el shaddai he's still on the throne and as long as he's still on the throne we gonna be all right he got the whole world in his hand y'all he got the whole world he got this thing it's already figured out oh you got to do is arise brush your teeth why show faith but you need to be getting dressed every day you need to go to bed anticipating something great is gonna happen the next day you need to stop whining you need to stop looking all right I'm sorry eat late it's a verb it means to make someone astatically happy are you hearing what I'm saying to you God says I need you to arise like mentally son I need you to arrive I don't just need you to be stable I don't just need you to be enthusiastic I need you to be super elated super why makes someone ecstatically happy I need you to get up because when you give the people the announcement that Moses is dead when you tell the Masters that Moses is dead if you tell them with the wrong spirit they go take that spirit and it's going to affect how they move but if you tell them in the right spirit that Moses is dead they go get up and they go complete the mission what is God asking you to do today I'm I'm asking you to pray what is God asking you to do today I watch my wife yesterday I watched my wife put together a bundle for our babies my wife was like we know we got to do a zoom for our babies and still have we still got to have

different way are you are you whining crying are you being creative we're being creative we're being creative we're meeting every day we're meeting with our our schools we're meeting with those institutions that we work for and we're asking what are your needs when you get back what are you gonna need when you get back and we're literally putting programs and developing things to strategize

can you do me a favor if you're a debbie downer can you quarantine yourself can you quarantine in the quarantine I'm just asking on my mind we don't need my Debbie downers right now can you go somewhere and you lock yourself up for a while don't nobody need to know what's going we already see what's going on we already know that it's dead but but what is God saying what should we be working

Joshua it does not stop there Moses is dead now let's get to work it's time for you to be creative I told you before nobody knew us in 2008 but when the recession hit 2008 from the dust emerged ETA from the dust emerged thank God is Monday from the dust emerged when you want to succeed as bad as you want you know what Jamie I just thought about something when you want to succeed as bad as you want to bleed was done in 2006 but maybe because there was no recession it didn't pop maybe it was winter you know I said maybe when the recession hit that's when it popped and right after it pop we didn't stop there thank God it's Monday are you hearing what I'm saying what is God trying to birth in you in the season other than crying and whining I just don't know what's next none of us do I don't know no-win sports coming back home none of us do I don't know with my job none of us do shut up Debbie Debbie Downer go quarantine yourself go somewhere and set out go so and lock yourself up in the room don't nobody want to hear that don't nobody got time for that it's time to be creative it's time to come out of this dust oh come on Jamie it's time to come out of this joint like the

ain't even gonna smell the smoke come on somebody number two be creative hallelujah number two be creative oh come on come on come on come on number three learn from the difficult times yeah I'll be honest with you Jamie first thing I recognized the first couple days was II be careful how you respond because what you're about to do as the leader if you're not careful you're about to say something the wrong way that's gonna create a little attitude and you can't right now y'all stuck together you can't afford for people to be in the funk you can't afford for people to be and what I realized Jamie and the difficult times was who eat you watch your mouth right now watch what you say how you say what you say oh come on somebody Jamie I realize that you can't be opinionated in this season right now you gotta be careful here watch your mouth clean Jamie I'm not I'm not how do I say it I'm not a neat freak I don't have OCD Jamie and so what I realized was ooh these are difficult times when you wake up make sure the house is clean you make sure when everybody get up what they see Jamie is a clean house you make sure all the shoes or what I supposed to be you make sure that you make sure that the counters are watched you make sure you mop the floor even if you got them up to Flo five times a day this is not the time to be junky this is not the time not to be neat not to be ordered Jamie I can't explain it but in these difficult times I'm starting to see how I kept I keep my clothes all over the place I'm starting to see how I use the dish and don't put it back up I'm starting to see how I take a coat and leave the coat I'm starting to see now we're all together all day I'm starting to see some stuff and these difficult times that I didn't notice before I'm starting I'm starting to understand Erik you got to be careful a man that you're mindful of the the spirit or the ethos you put out you got to be mindful that you inspire not just the people in the world but you inspire your wife you inspire your door oh come on now you Jennie I realized I was calling my son and we were having worship every day then he missed a day and then we might have missed another day and God was saying in these difficult times you don't need to be sitting back waiting for him to call you are the leader you are the priest you are the provider you want to protect them you need to make the phone call you need to call you don't know what is going on you are y'all not hear what I'm saying in these difficult times I'm self-assessing and these difficult times I'm noticing things that I didn't know this Jamie when it wasn't difficult times are you miss what I'm saying when I was busy that there were some hallelujah there were some challenges that I have there are some weaknesses Jamie that I display that in the normal circumstances I wasn't able to see but in these difficult times I'm able to see them are y'all not hear what I'm saying I know - Jamie I wasn't giving the detail and now I'm like I did the light saw Jamie and I was like yeah but you didn't do the light saw on the cabinet knobs that you're opening you didn't do the light saw on the toilet handles all you not hear what I'm saying Jeremy yeah you did the kitchen yeah you did the main areas oh but you didn't go and do the front door and then open up the front door and do the entry door oh you didn't go to the car somebody come home and my back Oh am i dad learn from these difficult times some of you were making these difficult times more difficult some of you were making these difficult times more difficult go quarantine yourself don't nobody need to hear all that negativity you like but it's reality okay don't give it to us right now we just want God's reality not yours go somewhere inside out Leslie I would say go somewhere inside out we don't and so I need you to learn from these difficult times these times were your quarantine these times when you're alone are you spoiled are you selfish are you inconsiderate like I need you to I need you to take note in these difficult times and when we come out of these difficult times I don't need you to go back to who you were when we come out of these typical times I need to ask yourself alright let's go to the next one I'm sorry I know we can't get through all of these I can see did he at home right now say hurry up alright look do me a favor do me a favor switch it up come on do me a favor I called I called my arm I called my health accountability partner and I was like yo I didn't do my arm man I didn't do my treadmill and my resistance like I normally did and I explained what I did Jamie and and they were like yo the reality is it's good to switch it up it's good to change it up if you keep doing exactly what you've always done your body is going to get used to that and you're not come on somebody you're not going to get the results you're not going to get the results you got the first three weeks the first four weeks you not gonna get those same results if you keep doing it I love it God switched it up he says Joshua we're switching it up instead of Moses leading us into the Promised Land how about you leaders we switching it up we switching it up how instead of Moses putting the ride down how about you doing it huh come on somebody are you hearing what I'm saying instead of Moses praying over the people instead of Moses leading the people how about we change it up I'm telling you when we come out of this guy's about to change it up and some of the people and some of the things that you've been relying on God about to switch stuff up and guys about to ask you to do it amen amen amen some of you who've been watching the praise team you need to be in the praise team some of you who've been watching preaching you need to preach some of you have been calling other folks and ask them to pray you need to start calling other folks and pray y'all better hear what I'm you not hear what I'm saying I told Jamie I talked to see I said listen to me we had over 7,000 people reached the way we used to do church before the coronavirus we will never are you hearing me Jamie we will never be able to do Church the same we will never ever we got-we God said we bout to change it up there are people who are disgruntled with church there are people who don't believe in God who now are following this ministry and saying I got a home that might be you you watching right now we bout to change it up Saturdays at 11:00 you got a church home now you got a community that's gonna get your back God said y'all gotta change it up and can I be real the reason why we didn't have cameras a year ago because we just wanted to be us we just wanted this ministry to be for those people who came who could physically get here we wanted to keep it small God said we bout to change it up what what you're benefiting from you're not about to get that no more we're about to open we had over 7,000 almost 8,000 people get touched by this ministry God is saying today and that's 8,000 that we know that watch we don't know how many people were at home what God said we're about to change it up Eric Thomas you are not about to be a minister to the few 80 90 100 people that you're ministering to we bout to switch it up you're about to be the world's pastor are you hear what I'm telling you not just people here in the United States of America at are you ready to change it up God's getting ready to change it up some of y'all you just trying to wait this thing out you just said okay in the next two or three weeks I'm just gonna go home and it's gonna be normal no guys trying to change it up are you ready for the change up are you ready Joshua are you ready what you thought Moses was gonna do are you ready now to do it are you ready to get the baton now are you ready to take with you bout to change it up God by changing up you were sitting back in the cut you're not about to be in the cut no more you're about to be a leader now God needs you you're saying just about your house no more your whole life been about you and your house God about to change it up it's not about to be just you and your household no more guys about to ask you to look out for other folks now are you hearing me God's about to change it up are you ready for the change up and many of you you're not ready and that's what's gonna break you you're not gonna be broken because God doesn't love you because God doesn't care for you because God doesn't have a plan for you in these crazy times it's not that God has looked out for you God has looked after you God has hooked you up in the way you didn't think you would be hooked up you're in a place that you never knew you there's some things that God is doing for you in this season that you never imagined before you didn't even plan for it God planned and he got more for you but not if you can't change up not if you can't change up and what he said to Joshua was things are about to change from this day forward can you keep up with the change Joshua arise and go are you ready to arise are you ready to get out are you ready to stop letting your mental and emotional capacity lead you and are you ready to lead your because if you can't lead you you can't leave your wife if you can lead you UK lead your kids if you can't if you can't lead you mentioned emotionally and those are a coach ask me Eric what am I supposed to do with them in this timeframe like they're not playing I said they're not playing physically but it's not just a physical game it's also a mental game focus on the Mentos get your mentors right God is saying change it up and many of you are struggling because you've never had to deal with your mental and emotional growth and now God is saying switch it up it's not about going out and being around people no more not in my basketball and football and baseball it's not about what it used to be it's not about going to bar it's not I need you to spend time with you and your many of us are going crazy why because we've never stretched ourselves mentally we've never developed ourselves emotionally and it's time to change it up God's getting ready to do a new thing God is getting ready to do a new thing God are you ready God's getting ready to do a new thing God's getting ready to do a new thing are you ready are you ready for overflow are you ready to take this to the next level all right Jamie let's just go through these quick I'm sorry I'm just gonna say these and move forward no no no no what

here's the one here's the one that bothers me right I need you to realize look I need you to realize how far you come how far we've come there's not an album I do there's not a speech I do there I'm gonna always talk about my people being enslaved not because I'm interested in talking about slavery not interesting to talk about the civil rights movement what I'm interested in in that spirit of we come such a long way and if my ancestors could come that far and it produced what is produced then whatever I'm going through I can get through it do you understand when my mother-in-law got cancer do you understand I understood we can get through this why because others got through it because of what we've been through when my son broke well my son broke his femur I got to tell y'all this some of y'all know I got a lot of new people y'all may not know it I don't know if you remember Jamie but when we saw the x-ray it was like a t-bone literally his leg went from here to here can I tell y'all something let's just say I took a year a year in a few months for him to heal do you know Jamie when we went back and we evaluated reevaluated both legs Jamie do you know the leg that was broke that bone that was broke Jamie do you know that leg was stronger than the leg that was never broke you better hear what I just said the leg that was never broke was strong but the leg that was broke was stronger that bone was in the poll that was never broke my my mind we come a long way and I refuse to give up now we come a long way we've been through a whole lot of stuff this ain't your first trial this ain't your first tribulation this ain't your first rodeo we have come a long way we have been broken but not defeated we've been knocked down but not destroyed I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me how come a long way and I've come too far to give up now I come too far oh I come too far we used to work in a little small room at Michigan State University I'm telling you we used to have no budget are you hearing what I'm telling you we used to have little to no support when we built this thing we've come too far now one of the top companies in the world the daughter album was number four we've come too far to let the coronavirus give up on us we've come too far we've been through too much we've seen too much we've had too many victories we have seen defeat we've live defeated in the face and we've overcome it we've come too far to give up now we've come too far to be negative now we've come too far to start overthinking now we come too far we've come too far to give up now the spirit of resiliency the spirit of grit ought to be on you so tough now it's in your DNA as jamol say it's in your blood overcoming is in your blood getting through adversity is in your blood we're not even talking about it we're talking about the way your heart beat the blood that's running through your heart your hands sisters got through so much more we will be alright we need to focus on where we're going not where we come from and what's happening we're focused on where we go we we we need to understand the stories of the past but we need to understand when we get out of this or some blessings you ain't seen yet when we get out of this your brother's gonna be stronger than they've ever been before your mind is gonna be stronger did you think I was talking about my son's bones you think I was talking about my son's leg you will be mentally more stronger after this than you've ever been you will have more control of your emotions after this then you've ever been you will be richer than you've ever been you will be wealthier than you've ever been Oh your health Oh you you you everything about you ought to be stronger when you get through this I can't wait to see what eta is about to produce oh I can't wait you think we produced album in the corona wait till we come out to Corona you'd think me and my wife was strong before Corona three months locked up we are you think the team was strong when we was scattered all over the place now that we meet you think a Jamie you think you did if you think ETA something you think what we've done in the world shop wait to what we get ready to do with a pot are you in we come to we come too far to give up now we've come too far to quit now you look we come too far for you leaving me thinking about quitting alright let's go to the next one I'm sorry we gotta get out here how many more we gotta check how many more guys come on we got it I gotta get y'all out of here alright look look look this is last one look look this is the most important one all right Jamie take me to Joshua one five go look at I want to look at where he tells them the promise that my people wherever you place your foot wherever you I still want listen to me very closely one of the one of the things that is gonna come out of this I'm praying his leadership I'm praying that all of what we're seeing and going through not as a nation the world that the only way you get through something like this is through community and there's so many of you that all you've ever focused on is your immediate family that's all you ever focus on making sure your babies eat your wife eat your husband that's all you ever focused on and what God is doing right now is trying to show you that when he blesses Joshua it's not just for Joshua that the reason why God needed Joshua to be in his right mind come on talking to somebody you notice when you're not in your right mind your gifts like you can't use your talent and your gifts the way you want to use them when you got a attitude when you're in a funk when you're angry when you're mad but we oh man but when you wake up and you're late it when you wake up in you ecstatic when you wake up and you happy you know you produce more you do more you're better you 1:20 you a beast when you fifty you know and you focusing on just you know cuz you when you get mad you don't like love on the people like you normally love on the people you you have draw you go to your room you go get in the car you go for a walk but when you are a hundred percent when you were a hundred and twenty percent now you start being a blessing to the people around you emotionally mentally financially physically spiritually relationally and the reason why God needs us to pull back from the world and get ourselves back to 120 because when we're 120 everybody around us is 120 and the last thing I want you to understand is that this is not about you this is about you getting better so the community gets better y'all not y'all missing what I'm saying what I'm telling you is yeah I preached but I didn't do IT I'm telling you that Jamie and Karl did IT and they play and he's saying listen to me when you have a gift and you at your best you're able to take that gift and that blessing we didn't sing to ourselves or preach to ourselves we're about to preach to tens of thousands of people why because when you are at your best you're supposed to build community watch this watch this Rasta is in verse three watch what God says to Joshua this is why Joshua is commissioned to arise this is why Joshua is commissioned to be elated that's why Joshua is committed to be his best because if he's best guess what he's gonna be able to do in every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you as I said to Moses so as et grows and blows up as CJ grows and blows up you look at at Jamal who's come on a team as he comes on a team and blow Heat Jamal gave the world the world 20 years of experience in an industry that has created the most millionaires and that's real estate and as Jamal says it I don't care who you are you doing real estate either doing it on the right side of the wrong side you either paying rent or you collecting rent Jamal took 20 years of something that was productive for his family something that was his wife his children his brothers and sisters his mother his father he took something that he had been doing for 20 years because he was healthy and he gave that to the world and make real estate real are you hear what I'm saying and he has put other people and there those of you you still just looking out for you and the reason why God is telling you to come to your senses the reason why God is telling you to elevate to elate and

gonna be real I I never I never spent enough time on myself to even be able to enjoy the season I'm so used to ripping and running or I'm so used to thinking and overthinking that this time is difficult for me I'm asking that you would stayin right now wherever you are I want you to stand if you find yourself being a debbie downer if you find yourself looking at the negative it talked about the negative being fearful you know being overwhelmed thinking about what's next instead of being able to be focused on what's now and enjoy what's not I'm asking you to stand I want to pray for you amen I'm asking you to stand I'm also asking those of you who can't consciously say but I've made other things of God I made my 401k of God I made my job of God I made my home with God I made my playing a God and not a goddess switching stuff up it's difficult for me because my plan and God's plan they didn't look alike and I got to be honest a lot of stuff on my vision board has dissipated has disappeared and I'm struggling because I had my own plan my plan and God's plan didn't look similar and now I need the courage to erase it and let God put his plan I need to erase my plan I planned on being on the west coast I plan on being in Hawaii I plan on getting married my wedding was canceled I plan on making a lot of money and I spent a lot of money I had a lot of plans and now
