The Mount at Chesapeake Worship Experience | 9-26-21

[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] hey this is pastor john and i want to be the first to welcome you to the mount virtual you might be asking what is the mount virtual mount virtual is our objective to make sure that our global partners can be connected even when they can't be at one of our eight physical locations well you might be asking what's a global partner those are the partners that are not connected to one of our physical sites but are still connected to the fellowship through our virtual option which is our way of making sure that we cover care and connect even our people who might be as far away as europe or africa how do we do this whether you want a baby dedication whether you want to have a baptism of range whether you just want counseling whether you want to get married and you just need marriage counseling or you want to have your home dedicated we can provide all of those options for you the same way we do for a partner at one of our physical locations so we like to say here at the mount virtual that we are one click away because no matter where you are in the world all you got to do is get to a device and click and you're right there with us so we're so glad that you're joining us today and don't forget if you're not a partner yet you'll have an opportunity in this broadcast to make a spiritual decision and connect to the mount virtual so god bless you and enjoy the worship experience [Music] hey praise the lord i'm bishop ken brown and i want to personally invite you to be sensitive to the spirit of giving you know when i was a child for her birthday for mother's day and for christmas my mother would always give me twenty dollars and she would tell me this is not yours to spend this is yours to go buy me something for my birthday or for christmas the reality is she later informed me that she was teaching me to number one always appreciate who she was and number two to develop the spirit of giving i want to suggest that that's exactly what god does with us because the bible makes it clear that the earth is the lord's the fullness thereof but he gives us the opportunity to be able to show him our appreciation for all that he does so please know that today there is the opportunity for you to bring your tithe into the storehouse i'm sure that all of us can testify that god has really been good to us especially in the midst of a pandemic now if by chance you haven't had any increase your substantial oil has not flowed at the same level that's a great theological way to say if you don't have any income please know god understands and without a doubt the church understands but for many of us we can really testify that god has in fact continued to bless us financially physically in all walks of our life god desires and expects that we would bring the tithe into the storehouse the bible makes it clear that the tithe does not belong to us so i want to remind you today that god honors faith and faith honors god always remember the bible says he that so sparingly will reap sparingly but he that sows bountifully will reap bountifully you know we're good stewards you know that this is a place where you can believe without a doubt that whatever you give will be used to extend the arms of the kingdom of god because we will always believe that church is supposed to change lives [Music] morning mount family

because you spend your whole life fighting them when you should have took a season and fought you good morning and welcome to the mount at chesapeake hi i'm dr angie one of your online hosts on today i don't know about you but as cletus has said there is excitement at the mount chesapeake on this morning i don't know but i have a question for all of you did you see relatively speaking perspectives of a father and a son now bishop brown and pastor lj from the mount at portsmouth they brought the word on it was powerful it was amazing it was phenomenal and guess what it was life changing if you missed it you need to go and download those messages don't take my word for it here's the recap you won't let your child be independent what if jesse had been like a whole lot of parents today and not let david be out there by himself then david would have never learned how to fight bears and lions one of the biggest problems with our society and parenting right now is parents that always want to bail their children out people judge by outward appearance but the lord looks at the heart and so we all know that david was already pre-selected by the lord so we know that he said he had rejected eliab but he looks at the heart so we know that david right there tells us he had a pure heart and i'm going to tell y'all another reason why i think david had a heart a pure heart the second reason why i think david had a pure heart is because he had no attitude [Music] i hope the reason he treats his wife the way he treats his wife is because he saw his father opening the door for his mother i want to ask you personally my brother right now what have you already taught your son this is this is the this is the favorite thing that i love the fact he did when he came back he didn't expect to come back in the same graces that he had when he left my god son because he sat there and said i didn't sin against heaven and you and i ain't even worthy being called your son no more a lot of us we think we can just go out here and rip and run and act crazy do whatever we want to do and think when you come back home you're going to have the same bedroom i left one time before when i came back my bedroom gone kimberly had my bedroom you just get to come back and come back and have the same position you had when you left you went out there and messed up we are not training a generation if you got children right now i need you to understand they should not be in the bed all day and play playstation all night you got to train them you got to blow the wheel so get them up i need some parents to put something in the chat right now and say we got some road work to do we got to hit this heavy bag because when you're gone the worst thing you can leave in society is a weak next generation believer the thing about it is abraham had isaac carrying his own heavy load he had him carrying the whole his own burden he had him carrying what was supposed to take him out and the thing that i love about this story because the thing that reminds me that i'm that i'm going to be able to carry this heavy load is because we do know that isaac won the only one that had to carry a heavy load [Music] now i hear the old school preacher i hear bishop saying i do know a man who understood who understood his assignment who had to carry a heavy load who had to carry a burden who had to carry the very thing that was supposed to take him out and we like to thank lj for carrying the heavy load of that beautiful beard did y'all see that thing man it's amazing the soul glow is shining through him listen we're having an amazing time here man and we have a great great service for you all not just one but two double the services for you so if you want to you can tie what five percent at one service and then another five at the second service to bring you to your entire 10. but at 8 o'clock we have minister robert cooper the pride and joy of north carolina who will be coming from genesis 37 18 through 36 starting right there in the beginning and then at 10 a.m we have another amazing anointed pastor patrick williams minister patrick williams who will be coming from mark the second chapter verses 1 through 12. we hope that you find something in our service to make you come back and if you're always here we hope you find something that made it fresh for you remember the mount is a place that gives back to you and helps to change lives each and every sunday now listen we are not finished growing just like earl bottom's hair there's still room for us to grow and improve make

kingdom watch god use me the kingdom authority vested in me will allow me to be an atmosphere changer i am a change agent for jesus and because of this i anticipate acceleration in every area of my life normal processes and procedures will not and cannot deny my entry how i have handled rejection denial and no in my past has qualified me for opportunities in my future as god releases opportunity

so many options just available just for you and i can tell you for myself that not only does giving unlock something for you but this space is good ground all right i think we have reached the point where we can begin to jump into the word of god uh so i'm excited today so let's go to genesis 37 verses 18 and we'll read down to 36. praise the lord it says when joseph's brothers saw him coming they recognized him in the distance as he approached they made plans to kill him here comes the dreamer they said come on let's kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns we can tell our father a wild animal has eaten him then we'll see what becomes of his dreams but when reuben heard their scheme he came to joseph's rescue let's not kill him he said why should we shed any blood let's just throw him into this empty cistern here in the wilderness then he'll die without our laying our hands on him reuben was secretly planning to rescue joseph and return him to his father so when joseph arrived his brothers ripped off the beautiful robe he was wearing then they grabbed him and threw him into the cistern now the cistern was empty there was no water in him then just as they were sitting down to eat they looked up and saw a caravan of camels in the distance coming toward them it was a group of ishmaelites traders taking a load of gum bomb and aromatic resin from gilead down to egypt judah said to his brothers what will we gain by killing our brother we'd have to cover up the crime instead of hurting him let's sell him to those ishmaelite traders after all he is our brother our own flesh and blood and his brothers agreed [Music] so when the ishmaelites who were midianite traitors came by joseph's brothers pulled him out of the cistern and sold him to them for 20 pieces of silver and they traded and the traitors took him to egypt some time later reuben returned to get joseph out of the cistern when he discovered that joseph was missing he tore his clothes in grief then he went back to his brothers and lamented the boy is gone what will we do now then the brothers killed a young goat and dipped joseph's robe in the blood they sent a beautiful robe to their father with this message look at what we found doesn't this road belong to your son [Music] their father recognized it immediately yes he said it's my role a wild animal must have eaten him joseph has clearly been torn to pieces then jacob tore his clothes and dressed himself in burlap he mourned deeply for his son for a long time his family all tried to comfort him but he refused to be comforted i would go to my grave mourning for my son he would say and then he would weep last verse meanwhile the middle night traitors arrived in egypt where they sold joseph to potiphar and officer of pharaoh the king of egypt potiphar was the captain of the place of the guard i want to use my time strategically today to help teach from the thought revelations from a low place revelations from a low place father we thank you for this time of sharing we pray now that you would just breathe on it breathe life into it thank you lord for anointing your servant for a time such as this we give you glory we give you honor we give you praise in jesus name amen revelations from a low place in this scripture there's so much that's going on so much to impact within this whole pericappy because here you have a familiar story involving the life of joseph and if you know anything about this story you know that joseph was a favorite of his father and i believe uh king james version as one of my good friends likes to say king jimmy uh translates it by saying that it was a coat of many colors and this chapter starts off with joseph sharing his dream that god had given him about uh stalks coming up and all the stalks surrounding him are bowing down to his start and then he gets another dream and where god shows him stars and the moon and all the other stars are bowing down to him and his brothers now are frustrated because here you have this dreamer and here's the interesting thing whole thing about this dream uh whenever whenever joseph tells the dreams to his brothers they instantly understand what the dream means because they respond to him by saying are we supposed to now bow down to you isn't it interesting how whenever god shows you something that you may not fully understand that the people around you sometimes can instantly grasp what it is that god is trying to reveal to you but in this story there is this ongoing spirit of jealousy in this ongoing spirit of competition that now causes these brothers to start to feel some malice towards their own blood now you would think that this malice and the spirit of jealousy started with the brothers but truth be told if you go back a little further into the generations you'll see that that this type of trickery was not new for this bloodline this goes back even further to their father and his relationship with their mother now because if you think about if you think about their father one of the reasons why he why jacob became where he was is because he stole the birthright from his own brother but that was as a result of the guidance of his mother so here you have mother who's already dealing with manipulation and a competitive spirit and that gets channeled down into the children then you take that back even further one more generation whenever you look at the mother right because after jacob steals the birthright he leaves in fear of his life to go visit his uncle now this is the same uncle who later after jacob uh indicated that he wanted one woman he said okay no let me switch that up so instead of giving you rachel i'm gonna get you leo isn't this interesting now we see this continuation of dysfunction in the bloodline and i said that to say that for some of us the low places in our lives that we've experienced really truth be told ain't got nothing to do with us some of the dysfunction that we've seen in our lives is connected to people who come before us but there is something valuable in low places low places are training grounds that's what i like to refer to refer to them as low places are environments where god develops character god builds integrity low places where god starts to reveal things to you that you would not have otherwise been able to understand or to receive something about a low place has a way of opening up your eyes because it's almost like a low place eliminates distractions revelations from a low place is is an environment in a space where god can start to reveal to you some things that you might have missed in your journey low places are never comfortable low places are rarely ever easy but if you ever take time to really look back over your life i believe that you'll start to see that there was something valuable about your low place there was something significant about what it is that you went through even though it was hurtful even though it was painful even though it was not comfortable there was something significant about that low place in your life that you can now later look back and say wow yeah i see i see where god's hand was on that i didn't see it in the beginning but i can see now what what god is doing and how god was shifting me and how god was covering me there is something significant about a low place low place is an opportunity for god to reveal some things to you that can help to put life into perspective low places are never comfortable but there is something that we can always take away when we're looking from a low place like joseph some of us share too much information now it's one thing to dream and know that you got people that support you but whenever people have made it clear to you that they not really with you seem like you would just dial it back just a little bit so i don't know if i don't know if joseph was courageous or if joseph was just arrogant but but some of us we found ourselves in low places because of our own mouths but i want to drop four things today that i think that will be helpful and critical to you because in my life i've experienced low places i've experienced times where i've lost jobs and been essentially homeless and nobody even knew but it was the periodic kindness of others that helped me to get through a rough season to get through a low place in my life and it was in that moment that god started to reveal some things to me and i believe in the same way when we look at the life of joseph we'll we'll get some things today that'll help us so the first thing that i believe becomes critical one of the first takeaways that you gain from a low place in your life is that a low place will always reveal people whenever you look at this text verse 21 says but when reuben heard of their scheme he came to joseph's rescue let's not kill him he said this is so interesting because whenever you look at this verse again he's telling him he says in 22 he says why should we shed any blood let's just throw him into this empty cistern here in the wilderness then he'll die without laying a hand on him now what i love about this low place and i say that loosely because i'm telling low places are not comfortable but there is value in a low place if you don't get anything else from your low place it's going to reveal who's for you and who's against you that's that's one of the greatest takeaways that you can get from a low experience because many of us wrestle with trying to figure out who's really got our back who's really there for us who's really there someone who can serve as a support system let me tell you if nothing else find yourself in an experience or a moment in life where you're in a rough patch you'll really see who's there behind you what i love about this scripture is that ruben makes it clear now it's so interesting because even though he knew he couldn't do anything to stop them he at least could speak up to try to produce a different outcome and my prayer this season that lord send me my reuben send me that person that's going to be advocating for me whenever i'm not even in the room send me that person who's going to speak up on my behalf whenever i don't even know that i'm in trouble a low place is always going to reveal people have you ever been if you ever been broke if you ever had a time in your life where you needed something from someone where you were looking to try to connect try to get something from somebody trying to get some support isn't it crazy how in a season in your life when things were going well and people needed you that you were there but inversely whenever you find yourself in a rough patch the same people that got help from you you can't even get help from them but that's okay because the value of a low place is if i don't walk away with nothing else from this traumatic experience at least i'm gonna walk away knowing who's for me i'm gonna walk away this year knowing who's for me i appreciate your help i appreciate what you tried to do and it seemed like i thought i could rely on you but obviously things have changed but that's okay let me take my mental note because the low place has revealed to me who i can rely on in this season second thing i believe that becomes valuable to you whenever you're unpacking or looking at the value of a low place is that a low place is always going to reveal protection we look back at the same verse verse 21 and 22 again it says but when rob rubin heard of their scheme he came to joseph's rescue let's not kill him they said why should we shed any blood let's throw him into the empty cistern here in the wilderness then he'll die without our laying a hand on him reuben was secretly planning to rescue joseph and return him to his father see again low places are are where god takes us to gain development to gain insight and what i appreciate about this experience because what we know is that hard times and trials and tribulations are part of an experience where god can help us to grow god can help us to mature god can help us to advance but whenever you look at this what god shows them or what god reminds joseph is that i don't care what they do to you i'm not gonna let them kill you it doesn't matter what happened doesn't matter what what you went through not saying that it's not significant but god is saying that from the day from day one i made a decision that whatever happened in your life i wasn't gonna let it kill you a low place reveals god's protection over your life some of us have been dealing with trauma some of us have been dealing with chaos on the job dealing with dysfunction in the workplace dealing with dysfunction in the bloodline that has now caught its way up to us and some of us at a point now where we feel like lord i can't take too much of this but god sent me by here to remind you that what you're going through was never designed to kill you what you were going through was never designed to destroy you what you were going through it was never designed to help you be so thrown off by what it is that god was trying to do in your life god's hand the protection is around you because here the brothers could have killed joseph but god intervened through reuben by saying no no no no let's not let's not kill him let's place him in an empty cistern i don't know who's in the low place right now in your life but you thought you thought that this thing was going to kill you and god has sent me here today to remind you that the low place is going to reveal your protection it's in the low place that you're going to discover just how valuable you are to god it's in the low place where you're going to see god's hand on your life because the truth of the matter is i don't care where you are in life if you look around close enough you'll see how god kept you you know you know in that low place in your life that your check engine light been on for months but the lord has protected you you know you know that you've been needing to go to the doctor about some stuff you know but the lord has protected you you know that you could have died in that accident lost the car but but the lord protected you because a low place should always be able to help you to see the hand of god on your life now it becomes a challenge to see god's hand whenever we focus on the problem and we don't focus on our creator i think this is why david says i look to the heels from which cometh my help because my help comes from the lord so david already helps us to understand that part of our ability to be able to see what god is revealing is connected to our posture where is it that you're putting your focus in this season where is it that you are allowing your attention to be drawn to if you stay with your head bowed then all you can see is the low place but if you learn to shift from this space to this space it changes your perspective now your situation has not changed but your perspective now is at least a little bit different down here all you can see is the issue all you can see is the trauma all you can see is the pain but at the moment you start to shift your perspective you can see what it is that god is trying to reveal to you so we know that god is revealing people which we thank god for because lord knows i don't want to have to worry about who's really got my back anymore because you know the thing about people is that they will smile in your face and turn right around and be talking about you it's going to reveal protection so if you don't take away nothing else please understand that whatever you're going through was never designed to kill you but god can use it to help ensure that you get where you need to be the third thing that a low place will reveal is that it's going to reveal persistence now 23 and 24 let's look at real quickly he says so when joseph arrived his brothers ripped off the beautiful robe he was wearing then they grabbed him and threw him into the cistern now the cistern was empty there was no water now what i want to pull from this in helping us to to connect and understand about the low place that we're in is that it reveals persistence now it's not joseph's persistence that's being revealed now we can we can we can kind of guess we can uh we can you know uh uh try to try to assume some things but the text really doesn't tell us about joseph's response in the story but what we do know is despite the fact that he lost his role that it did not change his destiny so the persistence that this reveals is the fact that god has not changed god's mind concerning what's going on with you now the challenge or the the the place that they made made their mistake now they should have killed him because that would have disrupted the flow of his destiny that would have disrupted what it is that he was trying to do and what god was ultimately desiring to do through him their mistake was thinking that the favor was on him they didn't realize that the favor was in him that's why people are frustrated with you because they thought that when you lost the job that you lost the favor they thought that when you lost the car that you lost the favor they thought that when the marriage didn't work out that you lost the favor but they didn't realize that the favor wasn't on you it was in you and when the favor is in you you can be in low places and still find provision you can be in low places and still be connected to the source it might not be comfortable but you know that the favor of god is with you it's not in the stuff it's in me it's in me it says it's a different thing whenever the favor of god is in you when the faith of god is in you you can lose everything and still get it all back when the favor of god is in you you can be sick to the point of death and come back and recover when the favor of god is in you god will protect your children god will protect it's a difference whenever the favor of god is in you and that's what frustrates people on your job because they thought what they did was gonna get you fired they thought that what they did was gonna be enough to destroy what was going on in your life but they didn't realize that it wasn't on you it was in you now every now and again god will release a favor that's on you that becomes visible because we know based upon this text that he carried the code of many colors but even if i lose what's on me as long as i got the favor of god that's in me i can still accomplish great things as long as i got the favor of god that's in me i can still do things that eyes have not seen in the ears have not heard as long as i got the favor god is in me i understand that no weapon formed against me shall prosper in every tongue that's the part that i like every tongue that rise up against me god will condemn so i want to warn some folks be careful about who you talk about just because you don't see the favor on me don't mean it's not in me just because it don't look like i've got a blessing it don't look like i got another thing don't think don't think don't get it twisted and thinking that it's about what you see the favor that's activated in my life is about what's in me see they thought that removing the coat was going to be enough to change his destiny the people who despise dreamers the most are the ones who don't have any themselves some of us are frustrated because we dream big and and it's not even so much that we're just trying to dream big it's literally that god is putting big dreams in us and sometimes it's hard to translate all of what god is showing you to people who don't dream at the level that you dream a little place is going to reveal people it's going to reveal protection it's going to reveal persistence [Music] the last thing that a low place is going to do for you is that it's going to reveal purpose it's going to reveal purpose looking at verse 24 it says then they grabbed him and threw him into the cistern now the cistern was empty there was no water in it low place reveals purpose so to help us to really grasp this thought i got to help somebody understand what a cistern is so a cistern the purpose of a cistern it was like almost essentially a it wasn't a whale but it was dug in the ground designed to help collect rain water because oftentimes in this area droughts were not uncommon or periods of time where there was no rain was not common and so the goal of a cistern was to be able to collect rain water so that in times of moments where there was a drought or in times and moments where we needed to be able to steal make sure that we were able to take care of the land or perhaps we needed water to prepare a meal or to prepare food the cistern was the thing that was designed to help collect the water so that in times of a drought that we would still be able to be sustained in life water we know is so valuable so critical to our lives a vast percentage of our body contains water water is something essential they tell you to drink at least got to get your your ounces in every day kudos to those of you who are trying to get your houses in it's easy for me i love water love me some water but a cistern was used to collect rain water so that in times and seasons where there was a drought they would be able to get what they need oh y'all see her talking to me she want to be a part of the sermon today so it reveals purpose because whenever you look at this i'm gonna read this again it says the then they grabbed him and threw him into the cistern now the system was empty there was no water in it now what if what if god used this little place to reveal to joseph that his purpose was to become the water what if god used the low place in joseph's life to set up a foreshadowing of who he would become because if you know anything about joseph's life you know that he eventually makes it to egypt he goes through a period of hardships and it's his dreams that again position him to be in front of the pharaoh and he essentially becomes the person who now through his own wisdom through his own experience through the things that he's learned through his life now becomes the person who helps to ensure that whenever egypt is in a dry place that they have everything that they need what if part of your low place was god allowing this to happen to you so he could reveal what your purpose really was what if god was trying to use the low place to help you to see what it is that he really called you to what if god was trying to use this low place to be the thing that to reveal to you that you were called to be the water in your family [Music] what if god was trying to use the cistern in your life to be the thing that showed you and showed the world that yeah i'm in a low place i didn't realize it it's uncomfortable it's dirty i didn't plan on being here i didn't realize it then but once i made it out the cistern it started to make sense to me didn't realize the trauma that i had to endure didn't realize the pain that i had to deal with didn't realize how all of that was going to be connected to god helping me to walk out of my purpose to think about a low place is that it makes it hard to see what god is ultimately trying to do in your life but i believe for someone watching today that part of your low place is god now trying to create an opportunity to prepare you for what it is that he's going to take you into some of you are just like joseph you're called to be the one to change the bloodline you're called to be the one that helps to sustain the family you're called to be the one that possesses the insight that is needed to help plan for the future because that's the thing about joseph joseph was strategic people are confused by you because you don't you don't live in the moment all the time because your mind is always thinking forward into the future part of what you've had to deal with and endure in your life is the fact that god was trying to use all of it the hurt the abuse in your life the fact that you lost your job the fact that things didn't work out in your marriage the fact that you've got some issues with your family the fact that things in your life aren't panning out in the way that you want them to it's all god trying to take a moment to align you with your purpose to make sure that you know that whenever you come out of the low place that you understand that what you went through was not in vain that what you went through had a purpose even though it was uncomfortable even though it was not easy even though it hurt god is using all of that to remind you that when you come out of the low place i'm gonna position you to be closer than you've ever been to what it is that i've called you to do you now are the sister you now are the thing that's going to be used to help to sustain the next generation [Music] don't misinterpret this low place this is a place of preparation that's what this is this is a place in a time where god is getting ready to form you prepare you equip you position you so that whenever you come out of your little place that you're walking into your purpose prepared it's the lessons from a low place that will always change your future this is the word of god today i pray that you receive it i pray that you receive it it's the low place that helps you to recover just like mary and martha they found themselves in a low place when they were waiting on jesus to come see about their brother who was dying now it wasn't until after jesus arrived late that they saw the value of their low place because jesus tells mary and martha that it was good that i took my time because now you'll really believe that i am who i say i am we thank god for jesus because it was in that low place that he died for you and me it was in the low place of christ that jesus started not robbery to stand in the gap for you and i [Music] now what's interesting about jesus in his little place is that the cross was actually on a hill so sometimes even low places can be experienced by people who are in high positions so don't think that low place is just about finances sometimes you can be in the place that you pray for and still find it to be an environment of hail take advantage of the lessons in the low place because again it's where god is going to reveal your people god is going to reveal your protection god is going to real persistence and god is going to reveal his purpose for your life three simple invitations today i pray that this word has been a blessing to you and has helped to put some of your low place experience into perspective first invitation is to accept the lord as your savior this is a good opportunity to get connected with the god that we talk about week after week it's the same god that will lift you from a low place and put you into a place of power place a position it's the same god that will take your story and use it for his glory except the lord is your savior all you have to do is text accept 271-441 [Music] you want to rededicate your life to christ you have an

telling you they love the people here they help you grow they will help you to understand that there is value in your low place i know this for myself i know this for myself accept the lord as your

falling and to present you faultless to the only wise god be glory majesty dominion and power i call you blessed in the city blessed in the field blessed when you come and bless where you go in jesus

overall behavior uh it's been great man it's i love it i love what i do uh i love the fact that god's allowing me to take all my my woes and my wacky stuff you're right right right you know for his his get down so i'm really i'm excited uh it's work uh ec is where he's at okay okay that's what's up man we most definitely appreciate you making that trek every time you come through oh it's an honor yeah for sure so then we have a couple of newbies all right all right especially especially this next guy because he's not just just new to this nine o'clock session but he's new to being an associate minister yeah minister um ricardo frost now let me ask you this now would you rather i call you rick or or what's going on because i'm telling you like there's a reason why i asked this because where i'm from i can easily see my uncle call out hey cardo like like caught up like a ring but when you text me you text rick right which one would you rather right i like rick but it's funny that you said that about your uncle cause that's what they call me at home so man i know you you know your business only you and your wife yep business owners uh i know you'll be traveling too man so let us know a little bit about what you do man my wife and i again thank you again first of all i want to say i'm humble happy to be here but my wife and i we're owners of rfk solutions uh we do cyber security training with the government you know i mean one of our babies though we thank god that we got the opportunity to stew with that but one of the things that we really are proud of is the fact that we get the opportunity to help kids every year with the cyber academy being able to promote cyber security for the kids and for the next generation man to protect us because right now the war is no longer bombs and bullets the war is now in the computers you know i mean so we're happy about that that's what we've been doing we've been traveling but uh you know we've been doing our thing man and grateful that we got the opportunity to steward that that business so thank you sounds good man it sounds good sounding like a new mr steward first minister right right and now we have the man this is a man that was a mainstay in the chesapeake ministry cheshire campus then he then he had uh god was calling him to georgia i'm pretty sure he's doing some wonderful things there we're looking at our brother ron young now you you deacon you know you're just brother i never had enough man this man be doing too much stuff to not have title y'all that's true so tell the people what you got going on coincidentally perfect timing uh i've just i just finished my book my first book called the wrong title as we speak nice it's a book about the uh it's based on the ministry that i did here with the men's mentoring group uh my radio show and different conversations and that's what the book is called it's a conversation piece for men and two women about you know understanding what we deal with what we go through and why we do what we do right wow that's cool but it hasn't been published yet though is that the publisher as we've seen everybody's finishing up yeah in fact i think i i think the lady told me it should be back wednesday or thursday if you'll be ready wow wow you're on your publication you you starting your publication tour okay okay you know that's how god worked like that wasn't a part of the plan the whole part of discussion but guys yeah man that so yeah y'all be on the lookout for the book the chronicles now just the first time i'll be back with it be like yeah for sure for sure now is that a part of the beginning of a series or that yes yeah oh wow just that wow i've about i got to get that i got it two or three more in the in the burner that i got on get out by the end of the year all based around the same thing because that's what i do just like irv was saying with with the young people that's what i do i've been doing stuff with me and for ever wow that's what god called me to do i'm gonna stick with the journey he's taking me home all right yeah and most definitely i can attest to that because when i first came to the mount trying to find a place to serve and everything like that you know like you were one of the first ones one of the ones i was serving under with the men's ministry you know we helped clean out yards we helped move people that didn't have you know enough people to help me you know single women and all the stuff like that so yeah man um yeah i know you got a wealth of knowledge you know that's why he's the man the myth in the legend so today i think it's a great topic um you know it's something that we all deal with and we'll go into most definitely the importance of why we brought this topic but i didn't want to do that and then sway the conversation so the first thing i want to do is throw it to you guys so when it comes to mine what comes to mind when you hear the words life balance or life and balance and you know what are some examples of support what you think you know so when you say just the whole gambit when you hear life balance what do you think what do you hear what you know what comes to mind so we can start off with the vet man i just think well you know me i'm gonna go all the way over to the cliff uh life balances me is just even keel you know as for like my job my family my health uh my mindset just a whole whatever i got going in life that is not tilted you know what i'm saying that it's only even keel so my life and it and it's it's different for it from probably for me because everybody looking at balance they're looking at you know the scale i'm looking at certain things that i that that balances me like uh everybody said well i'm filled i'm filled with this much and i'm filled with this one no that's how i get that's me like i can't be too holy that i'm no earthly good that's a balance for me it's a balance so that's why when i think about that i think about my balance where am i flowing at is the even kill what's teeter totter so i don't like the teeter type of thing yeah she got you caught up all right all right yeah life balance um kind of some of those things thing that big er was talking about when it comes to my life balance trying to make sure that i have even kills but at the same time sometimes you know life will pull you in certain directions right right and when and i look at life balance as a time that depending on the situation sometimes you may have to give more to one one part of your life than you do another because the other part of your life might be all right you know i'm saying you already if you're look working on your your health right your health is already good to go you're taking care of yourself you're drinking your water you're eating the right foods so that's not something that you have to put a lot of attention and energy into but let's say your relationship though your relationship is kind of raggedy and your relationship needs to get a little better so you want to put more time into that because you already know that your health and everything is good so that's how i kind of look at it that's dope all right all right i think i look at it as the phases of life that you came through when you were in your in your 20s your balance was considered just having a ball just you know going all out doing everything you want to do just to enjoy life and 30 you start to realize okay i got to take life a little more serious and by the time you get in your 40s that balance become okay i really got to look at my family where i want to go with my life what i'm trying to do and things like that and then and i think incrementally as you get older from there you start to balance out like my man was saying how you eat what you eat how you exercise who you talk to who you let talk to you yeah you know those kind of things and what your circle your circle gets a lot smaller as you get older when you you know like everything when you're in your 20s everybody your partner you hanging out with everybody you parting with but as you get older and older that that balance gets narrower and narrower and i think it gets to a point where you realize okay this is what i want to do with my life i want to enjoy with my family i want to do this or like i said i've figured out what my real vision is and i want to focus on that and things along those lines i'm about to tell john i'm watching you over there you got laptops [Laughter] watch out this is what you do right because like you want to be able to say okay if they invite me back but they ain't gotta invite you back so you gotta be right the first time yeah yeah yeah yeah you don't get invited back you're like but it's something y'all said man that a few things dropped to mind you know when you talk about the progression of going from you know 20s to 30s and 40s and i heard this phrase that always that really resonates in my mind it says when you're younger you're trying to get a car and you're trying to figure out how fast can it go from zero to 60 but as you get older the cars you're looking at you're trying to figure out how fast can they go from 60 to zero you know what i mean it's all about speed when you're younger right but then when you get older you're trying to figure out who oh what car is going to really slow my car down because i got to protect the people that's in my car you see what i'm saying and so this is the transition of thought going from zero to 60 versus being going from 60 to zero that's like my shoe game like i don't buy for style i bought some sketches because i would work you know i'm teaching them all the standard stuff like that hey man james feel good right it's a balance they feel yeah yeah bounce back and you know um i stood in line for george when i was young and i got some georgians and it was something the ones that i got they weren't the space jammers i forgot the name of them but they squeezed my feet so hard oh yeah and it's like i could the only way i could find some rooms if i went 13 on them like you know what i said like so but i warm right i won't you know what i mean but that like you said you know you change your thought process you know um then another thing that came to mind rob when you mentioned you know changing your thought process and everything and your circle of friends and it almost reminds me as you know as you're getting older you move closer you should be moving closer and closer to your destiny what god has called you to be the show and you think about jesus as he got closer and closer to the cross that's where he came down here came down here to do this die for our sins and never thought about making this connection he went from 12 then he realized at some point it was only three he really contributed three then when he really got to his destiny he was only one at the cross with him you know what i mean that circle of friends right getting smaller and smaller so i mean jesus i like that that's good yeah y'all really hit on a lot of things that i'm gonna bring up and i want to make sure that you know saying the people you know pick up on those things as well uh and the reason why this is so important you know and i started off with church leads because we're in church all of us church leaders but this is a thing that no matter whether you're in church whether you christian muslim atheist whatever you can have a problem with you know just balancing life and then how you balance it could be depending upon what your definition of what balancing is absolutely is you know what i mean and so like the statement up here church leaders often feel the tension of loving the church desiring desiring to serve faithfully and balancing their responsibilities with family and their other demands of life and so the reason why i thought this was real important because that's one of the things that bishop elder really models you know um they model the balance trying to make sure you understand that they're gonna put energy into the church but they can put energy into their family and then they're also gonna put energy into their own relationships and you see them and then not only do they post things about church but they post things about them and their family and spending time and i thought that was so important that's one of the things that's going to help keep families together because they are shooting that comes down it comes down from the head you know just like we talked about you were talking about football you know when the camera's off you know the the team will take on the personality of the head coach that's true right you know what i mean if there's a coach that focuses on defense that team will be defensive oriented right it's often offense like basketball uh your board uh they did houston just left for houston can't win a championship but he always d'antoni okay always talking about offense right how about i'm gonna outscore you right the team's all about offense so you know it trickles down so it's very important for our leadership leadership to show those type of things and um so that's why i thought it was really important that bishop ended his anniversary with bringing his family on he did and talked about how family was so important but everybody don't do that no they don't know i'm gonna kill her that though i'm a portion of that that person i'm not doing that because church sometimes church leaders can get so enthused with church that you know there's no balance you will make uh ministry your mistress you know i'm saying you will spend more time like a side chick almost yeah you would spend more time in church than you do at home because whatever reason it is so it has to be a balance right now that's what i love about bishop what he showed this week in this week this whole anniversary is you know one thing he prayed for was his family yeah so that's a i mean that's a healthy balance because you got you can't be so churchy like you can't come home be like and uh go yeah clean the room don't that as a church leader that's the model we should be modeling at the end of the day balance between church you know something something you don't take home right right that's true you know that's true don't take home i agree i like that one that was a dope one yeah that's real dope i mean for me um i'll be honest with you when i first came into the church i was very very enthusiastic i was zealous for lack of a better term myself and my wife and and you know i i experienced some of that and uh you know my wife and i we wanted to do everything for the church it was about the church we were moving and shaking in the church and and sometimes we would kind of negate some of the things that we should have been doing with our children as well but as we got go back to what he said as you get older even spiritually you know i mean you begin to mature and you begin to understand the way the process should work better not just physically but spiritually so as we got older in the spirit and older and doing what we were doing in church we realized that we needed to have that balance we realized that we had to focus we realized that we had to not just focus on church but we had to focus on our children right and what i think is so dope about bishop and health and what they do is that their children are already incorporated with the church as well so they kind of get in the tufa yeah you know what i'm saying they get the focus on the church with their children being in the church but they also get the opportunity to focus without the church being involved in any of that so i think it's real dope and i love i love how they do things i love how they do their business man with that example that they set and the cool thing about it that ain't for everybody though that's right that's right don't like again the balance not vicious balance you know what i'm saying right you got to find the brown family yeah you got to find your own personal balance and that's what he i don't i really don't think would want everybody to be a clone you know exactly right just find your balance right what works for you and there's families out there like because i look at a lot that i was doing here when i was here and i think in defense of ministers people will pull you away that's true they will pull you from every direction expectations exactly and so sometimes you feel obligated well like you know okay and then before you realize it you're being pulled all over the place every ditch every uh different direction until you finally get a grip on it i think what you were saying in reference to family everybody being involved like i told my wife if it looked like i'm getting too far out there pull me in that's right because i might want to help that's real good my boy that's my dude yeah yeah but if every time you turn around irving calling you again girl pull me in and let me know hey you need to just tell this person or that person hey i can't can't do that with you right right you know you have to work that out i like what steve harvey said when he started getting money he said pete was hitting him up and he said he just ignore him for a couple of weeks okay i'll call you back and you've been calling for a couple of weeks so let's see what you would have done if i hadn't been who i am self-care that's true and uh in when i look at and it's the irony when i look at bishop and elder and their family and the brown family i look at my daughter and my son-in-law in atlanta and oh i know how he works i know how she works but they take trips all over the world they are a real tight unit and then i see my daughter and son-in-law they'll be out somewhere partying at the concert and doing things i'm like man i can be they life right you know right they live and she's doing this and then the kids are doing and it's such a perfect dynamic that is so impressive to me and then my daughter stepped to me one time down there and just told me that we saw that growing up you know you'd like to do this you like to do that but you always had time for us and you're wow and you know and when your kids say that you're like yeah that's right yeah yeah i did that i did that you got that yeah yeah yeah you got that for me yeah yeah yeah and so it's so funny you said that uh talking about helping friends and stuff because you know you can help out people till you blew in the face but the one time that or the one thing that they were remember and emphasized that the time that you did you didn't do it you know that's why we most definitely got to make sure we are focused on the right things and the right people because you know i said irv would do this we're going back to your situation you're helping five times in a row then the sixth time man i'm chilling with the family man you can't get nobody else man i knew you was like that oh you know what or talk to you about or talk about you behind your back that's real i'm saying yeah and now you're thinking that you know you should be okay because i just help you five straight times in a row but it's that one time man it's that one time at one time so going to this thing i want to give people a visual aid man uh see what y'all think about the father johnny got visual aids bro you know they got can't mess with victory that's why you can't have herb or no panel discussion i'm telling you all right all right all right so i got a 10 pound weight here uh-huh five pound weight here right right right so if we let these things be or represent what god has assigned us to carry whether it's relationships family members whatever you want to call it a job the position of church oftentimes we do think about balancing this way this way but see if you look at my slide i put it there keeping your equivalent so what made me think about this differently and you guys have alluded to it already to some degree is that in mathematics when you start talking about manipulating the problem there are two different ways you could do so in order to keep your equivalence you can multiply to the top and bottom and keep you know fractions whatever you do to the bottom you have to do to the top right or you can multiply across the equation whatever you do to the left side of your equation feel like i took a test right right right right oftentimes we're thinking about across the equation you know we're always looking at right and left trying to balance these things but if i'm not upright i'm still not balancing no matter what i did so there's also a focus of me being upright and centered versus just always focusing on these things over here and what i'm trying to carry because neither one of them well before i say that what do you guys think about that is either one of them more important or do you what do y'all think about that the whole thing just look about working out if you work out again my background you know you always got them cats that work upper body yeah don't never do them late or or being in situ institutions that you all you did was work out work everybody you kind of looked you know kind of this form you know what i'm saying so again that's why it has to be a balance because i think if you keep working on one thing if i worked on my right arm and never worked on my left i'll take basketball i'm gonna call basketball coach if i keep working on my right hand dribble when somebody finally cut that right hand up then i'm no good to the team that's right because now i got drugs with my left so it has to be a balance when you're working out because again you don't want to get in a situation where people have found out your strengths and now you you're no good to nobody make them go left yeah yeah i just think that that's a good thing you got to balance it out bro so do you guys and we'll go to you guys on this one when you are you any good if you're not upright if you're not balanced yourself if you talk about giving all this attention to other people you know family members and everything church or whatever but if you have not created balance for you how does that affect your balancing with the other things what do y'all think well i would say just like with a you know he gave the analogy of working out which was perfect because i was going to use that at first but i would say the same thing with the car you know if you've got one tire that's not balanced and i don't care how fast or how slow you drive this is what that tire is going to do all the other three tires are perfect but that one tire is going to be bouncing and it's just going to just throw everything off when you're trying to drive right right right don't feel right you're trying to you can feel it oh yeah i don't care what you do until you fix that till you get that one tire or that one thing balanced and that could be your family that could be your kids that could be your job that could be your vision of what god has put on your heart right until you get that one thing balanced then it's going to always feel like an uneven ride and you mess around and keep it doing it then the other one if you don't get them all balanced nobody where you wherever you go to get your car back nobody would say you want to get your car tires rotated in battle so yes and they'll come and rotate this one tire and say okay you're good that's right they're going to tell you need to rotate all four of them you need to balance all four of them now you're back on a smooth ride and your car is driving and going the way you want it to go but if you don't do it that way it's going to always be out of order and you always you know trying to figure out what i need to do and how i need to do it got you guys i'm gonna let you start this i'm gonna let you let's you start us on this next one now let me go ahead and put my disclaimer out here i'm gonna start asking them questions it don't have nothing to do with my marriage i'm not saying that these are things that tanzania said to me project what you think our marriage is going through and start putting stuff in the chat talking home tanzan must be no it's been 17 years we good i'm just talking about and i'm not perfect at balance i'm just saying i ain't saying that either i don't want to go home and lost me change not just live for a few blocks so let's look at this next question and carter you can start us all okay do you think especially considering uh you know the visual do you think it's reasonable for someone to ask you to put equal time or equal energy and y'all kind of alluded to a little bit but we want to isolate this thing equal time or equal energy into all of your responsibilities in other words somebody say man the same way you're doing such a really you need to be doing that here keep the same energy what you think sir who wins that's all i'm gonna go ahead and put my disclaimer out there first two before i answer this question me and my wifey a good 20 years 20 years plus in it so um i will say this though um when you think about that and when you think about the responsibility there's an old saying that always says that marriage should be 50 50. right i believe that's not that's inaccurate right you know what i mean because it's going to be places where i'm weak that she's strong or where she's weak when i'm strong and sometimes instead of that 50 50 ratio it may be 70 30 or maybe 80 20. you know i mean she may be able to give more situation than i can and vice versa because i think when we look at balance we get this preconceived notion just like we look at the scales right we get this preconceived notion that balances always have to be something that equalizes itself right but the first thing you have to do with anything with balance and i love and i wanted i'm glad that you did the analogy that you did when you were kind of leaning and everything like that because first and foremost it brought me to the mindset of being on a plane right and they tell you on the plane hey before you put your mask on i mean before you put the child's mask on your partner's mask don't put your masks on first right so in that instance i believe that balance comes from god when we look at god and making sure that we're sinners he's given us everything that we need to be centered then we can handle the chaos that comes around our life as balance as well because now if i'm centered just like you said that our life is pretty chaotic right we got stuff that happens all the time right so now because i'm centered i can be able to handle the chaos and the the distractions and and the in the crazy stuff that happens in life so that's that's kind of my idea so i don't believe that it's fair to say that hey you got to put as much energy in this thing as much as that thing because life is you know just like just like ron alluded to earlier man you know depending on where you at in life responsibilities and focus are going to be different you want you all want someone yeah so i'm guilty of that i'm gonna come hunt it i'm gonna come 100 yeah because i'm guilty of you know i actually love coming to the church right you know what i'm saying like bishop when i was you know security was like well not bishop but somebody was saying if you need to be at the church like oh i'm there or if you need to be like oh oh i would and then i come home my wife said come on previous wife or come over and say uh do this and i'll be like oh man so i understand that that you gotta have the energy you got to have that same energy as here and at home i get that part i really i really think that cause you don't want if you're always happy to go to church and you miserable going home yeah they're saying something without saying that say something bro yeah and then you expect another i'm sorry i'm saying something though yeah you expected another energy i'm saying right and so then i know i want that savings that you give to that platform alright right so i really believe you have in in in most centers you have this people want to feel valued and energy makes things value like if i'm excited to come to church i should be excited to come home if i'm excited to go to work i should be excited to come home if i'm excited to go with the homies i should be excited to come home that's good you're here oh you're excited to see bishopville you should be excited to see your wife absolutely especially you know you just see them on a temporary basis yeah yeah yeah so you know what i'm saying right yeah everybody right here i do feel that because i i should be guilty of that i mean i was so oh my god 84 84 i'm on my way yeah and i think you can look at it like you do your children you know it's a slide in the family stone has some family affair you see one child grows up to be somebody just love to learn and another child grows up to be somebody you just love to burn but you know you know with your kids you got one kid you can tell them to do something and you know they're gonna do it then you got another child that you you need don't choke them don't choke it's like starting up a car with a band but you know and life is the same way some things you just have to put a lot more energy into to get done because you realize you need the energy right absolutely you know and some things you can you can back up and like erv was saying when it comes to family family you know you've got to put as much as necessary at any given time based on what your child needs what your wife needs and things like that of the household in general and then other things you may have to take away from it like you said if you're doing all that time over here and you're taking it away from over there that's not good especially when it comes to your family absolutely can i say this real quick hey let me let me just say this as he was talking about that and what eric was saying as well is that we we we would sometimes get the uh preconceived notion that family would understand oh i'm going to church they know i'm going to church they know i love them they know our preachers church you know i mean it's a church i'm doing stuff for the lord you know what i'm saying so we misinterpret what their feelings are right and they're about it and their feelings and we think you know what i'm going to church on serving god you should be happy about that you know what i mean but at the same time we don't think about the fact that hey i want that energy too i want the way that you going to church and appreciate the church i want you to appreciate me that way and sometimes we miss it because it's like well you family you know i mean you my wife you my children you should understand and that's how ministry can become your mistress right yeah and i don't think i meant to say it when you said it and it's funny you called it the mistress because the church in the bible refers to it as a female to church as a female so and then another thing we started talking about the balance and all the stuff like that going back to the weights at different times it will require different energies and then certain situations change but it's up to us to analyze what's going on because i can't give the same energy to a 10 pound weight that i would give to a five pound weight because if i get the same energy i give to a 10 pound weight to the five pound at some point i'm still getting balance right because now i'm throwing the five feet because it's going you know that's the same way absolutely and so and you know we gotta we always have to be analyzing what's going on what's up you know what are we doing analyzing ourselves and i think what's one of the tricks of the enemy to get us so caught up in just one float that we can't you know uh go back to football call audible mm-hmm right now you see it in the line of scrimmage that's right like you know what i see this coming coming at me you're a lot of few huts to see if somebody's gonna jump yeah i can see okay that's gonna be a blitz i need to call audible exactly omaha oh my god oh my god oh my god we don't do enough self-evaluation because you cannot say you did enough self-evaluation if if balancing is the problem if that's what's going to destroy the marriage or destroy your position at work or whatever you didn't do enough self-evaluation we didn't do enough evaluation so next one next one next one do you have an example of something in your life that will pull and we kind of talked about we want to know specifically from you guys what pulls the most energy or most attention from you and everybody to check y'all can throw some things in there as well what pulls the most energy or attention from you guys throughout your everyday lives let me start with you ron oh i can see because now i feel sometimes you feel like you haven't put enough energy into the goals that you had set so now i find myself at any given time staying up to two three four in the morning just writing in these books that i want to do and it's but these books have been in my head for years now all of a sudden i'm trying to hurry up and crank them out and i'm put then you know by the time i go to bed or by the time i get up the next day i'm still getting up at the same time right but i'm wearing myself out mm-hmm so when my wife said you know we're gonna do this today we're gonna oh you gotta dread today yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i've been in there that's supposed to happen today yeah exactly i thought we don't do that now you know you said today okay cool then we do it today so really i'm not gonna pull back from her but i'm just stressing myself to do what i should have did in order but i'm pushing myself so hard to make to set a goal that okay that gold has been pending so to speak for years so now why are you pushing so hard now just get it done step back don't take away from you know your family and things like that and just put it in order set your plans out and do it but sometimes you get in the mind or i'll get in a mindset where okay i'm gonna flow right now i'm thinking this stuff is popping in my head oh i gotta keep i gotta get this out i gotta get this out next thing i know it's 2 30 in the morning you know i'm trying to ease it it's like i'm trying to sneak in the bed without waking her up you know that's right you're just not coming to bed no i just got over the bathroom like thank god [Laughter] i'm sleeping at that point what are you gonna do hey i'm i'm here oh i'm taking the air i'm sleeping one of my examples is that my thing is what caused more attention in my life energy is trying to keep the peace and i'm learning now some things you're gonna have to fight you know it's at the end of the day like trying to make everybody happy that okay i'll say that yeah like because my demon in life was value i wanted to make sure everybody liked her or you know everybody appreciate her so that used to pull a lot of my attention out of my energy to make sure you was okay or you was okay and you was okay and it just stretched my whole life out am or am i doing am i playing a part you know what i'm saying or do even when i was wearing suits all the time like is my suit straight so that that pulled a lot of pulled a lot of my energy trying to please everybody else and then you know when i you know recently just been liberated like man listen my teacher should be on me because if i'm good i'm balanced then i can work for everybody there's nothing i'm telling you i was like that like that car incident you said you know driving the car and that one wheel i got to the point where even when the wheel was shaking as long as i got to my destination i was cool right but then you can't keep playing with that shaky tie right so and so and that can become stressful like you know this tie going bust any time and you're driving yourself up your aneurysm so at the end of the day that that that that desire to bring everybody peace pulled a lot of energy a lot of pull just gave it it almost sucked your drive by the time you get to the crib you were like man listen and then you really tired now because you don't try to please everybody else right and then the little the little energy you got left you got to try to please you please your household so that was i mean i've learned like and that my balance saying and i'm gonna keep it 100. my balance ain't all the way where it needs to be it's a daily process you know sometimes i gotta lay aside i'm actually acting like vince led sides some weights you know i'm saying you know what i'm saying about it you know you just gotta keep it 100. that's true that's real what in your life and so with me was he was trying to make everybody happy homie no that's good for me uh kind of really a lot what big vince is talking i mean i'm sorry big er was talking about winnie you know why i thought because you was lifting them weights but seriously like what irv was saying man it was a lot like for me i want to keep peace i want peace especially in my household you know i mean i wanted to do whatever i needed to do to make sure i took care of the peace there i felt like i was accountable and responsible for making that happen you know what i mean um but where i'm at today is similar to what you were saying i had i had an epiphany god spoke to me and it was like look before you can do anything for anybody else you got to get yourself right and if yourself ain't right all this stuff is always going to be chaotic which goes back to his analogy and his illustration that he used earlier where you had to be centered you know i mean if you're not god-centered man and you can't be able to hear from god and every day right now this is where i'm at right now in my life at this very moment i'm asking god to give me wisdom every morning when i pray part of my prayer is to ask god to give me wisdom so i can be able to apply my energies in the proper location that's dope you know what i'm saying you might say that again location yeah for sure and my i guess mine will be my family uh you talking about just what pulls on me the most uh because what i came to the realization that i mean i think we all can agree that family time and and spouse time are two different times right i mean i think i think i think that's common sense right right but then i realized what really hit me is that okay you got family time but that's not i got three kids that's not the same thing as josh time right family time at the same time it's free time and it's not the same thing as me a time so now you're talking about you got family time you got your spouse time you got josh time bree time meal time then we already said we got me time i need some time and then oh shoot god time right like you know what i mean then i'm like this house everybody keep telling me i was supposed to buy so now i bought me the house not this house need time the doorknob just came off the door the other day you know what i mean like i gotta go i gotta get dressed right now yeah all these different times you can start work time right it's church time it's like you got all these things you gotta manage and it just it can be a little overwhelming if you're trying to look at all these things i gotta do and you know it's important that we you know perspective and look at them one thing at a time but yeah that thing that's what really hit me when i realized that family time wasn't the same thing as my son individuals time and then you can't just spend individual time with them and still not do the family time right because they still need the interaction with each other exactly and stuff so yeah man i almost definitely would be family that whole scripture is that we can all look i can do all things through christ who strengthens me never said it was gonna be stressful i said it i said i'm standing on it as a man if you you're trying to you're trying to live according to uh and then you got to keep the peace and you got to do all these things so again so if the man i i love this part if the man is not balanced you know that's why we got all these weak men because we don't understand that sometimes i can be off right but i can get back on right you know right and it's good to have you know just like you're saying we're talking about family here and it's good to have that wife that can see when you're getting off balance that's dope you know put that that put that you know the one they hook up under your car and check all your dialysis mm-hmm you know your uh [Laughter] yourself today yeah you just you know what's going on and she goes because she will know it ain't me so it's got to be some you know in your job or something you're doing or something you ain't doing or some of your health and it's good to have that person like that in your life that will check you right because my wife you know when we left here when we moved to atlanta one of the biggest things she said to me which i didn't even think about it you're going to be if you don't know nobody down there just your family you know i just had my family right and she said it's different because when you're in virginia everywhere we go somebody just coming up hey don't you yeah you went to the mountain hey you you know and it's all these different things and we were going to all and i told her you know what i don't like that i don't like just being with you mm-hmm you know we had a restaurant we just just said ain't nobody coming up hey run right right how are you doing can i finish my style right right right right right right talk rise and it becomes the thing you can get addicted to that and that's why i think when i moved it it really helped separate kind of balance it out yeah it really did balance everything can i say this real quick listen um what you said earlier about lifetime church time and all that it kind of go took me back to what i said earlier when they said about the 50 50 right and ron kind of said it too with doing a diagnostic check right it's certain places where i know i'm weak that my wife is so much stronger than me one of those places is with our kids and making sure that we come together and have family time i'm still struggling with that and i'm trying to do better every day but i'm still struggling with that but she recognizes that so it's places where she overcompensates for me where i might be a little weak and a little shaky you know what i mean and i tell all the time like babe you know maybe you need to go ahead and set this up for the kids instead of me taking the initiative sometimes to do certain things so uh i i thank my i thank god for her being there for me for that man i got one of the best wives ever when it comes to that brother i'm telling you she's calling me down coupons that's right that's what's up so we had a few people in the chat saying with us guys uh you know we helping some people out um saying that you preaching cardo and all that good stuff like that good thought it was a good call analogy and all that good stuff we had uh dominique unless i'm saying that wrong cause dominique said good morning from germany so what's up dominique and hopefully i'm saying it right now he uh yeah or she yeah because you know you can dominate and go yeah i don't know there's no picture so sorry you know um you put a question up but then you took it back so uh if you want us to ask that question throw it back up there and uh we'll we'll make that happen so um true or false guys got two statements i'm gonna see what you feel about it here we go at least i don't think anyway so and you guys can respond as well first one if man doesn't work doesn't eat y'all y'all agree with that y'all cool everybody that's true nope i agree cause i it's a lot of dudes out there ain't working what they eat because they got they got the stimulus work you know i feel like i'm probably more old school than anybody riley [Laughter] because i was raised that the man is the provider you have to be the man that's i don't care how much money your wife is making how much money your woman is making in the you the person did everybody come to for the provisions and that has to be on you and if you as a man are staying in your mama's house or standing in your girlfriend's house and you're not pulling your weight then it's the problem yeah and let me say this too uh and we all have had transitional situations we all had to go back home and all of a sudden he's talking about that right he's talking about a whole different ballgame right yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so he ain't talking about the transition look like he said he sees him he you know he's been there a long time ago and he knows so i just want to make sure ain't nobody taking the fence and then they just click off and then right you know fully explain it and i think the other thing is well when you look at uh that whole dynamic of bringing in you know saying basically bringing home the bacon you know even if your wife makes more than you and see this is how you know god's will is still being implemented even if your wife makes more than you and she brings home everything people still look at you and say what you doing or why you didn't know if stuff go wrong you know same thing they go back to sports head coach the head coach cannot make an offensive offensive decision but if it goes wrong they're going to the head coach that could have been offensive coordinator coordinators but they're coming back to the head coach if it don't go right and that's how it is you know as far as being men in our families um what y'all got anything on that one i do um with that i think culture has changed a little bit though i was just saying that you say old school right but i think in today's culture it's cool to have a sugar mama it's cool to to be able to allow a woman to take care of a man you know i mean in in as far as the culture we before cameras came on we was talking about one of the things that we were talking about is that there's no distinct leadership anymore right you know i mean we need to have that distinct leadership to teach and show our young men that hey that's still a biblical principle that ain't cool you know what i mean i seen just the other day where i saw the woman pumping gas and the dudes sitting in the car i'm like on this phone yeah i'm like what what when did we go wrong when did that start happening you know what i'm saying before we get it in that i'm going to tell you i'm going to bring all the heat so i think it's it's the whole um i'm gonna have to say it i'm gonna say it i'm gonna take i'm gonna keep it 100. it's the whole what you require mm-hmm you know what you accept what you accept because at the end of the day i've learned this man like say if if a woman holds you to that that's that if a man don't want well today's man can say well look i i ain't really got to put up with you you putting all these demands on me i got a i got 35 dollars for your rent somebody else and a bucket of chicken and i'm keen the whole standard has lowered yeah so that that that statement is not true it's true and false it just depends on the context where you are yeah yeah i agree i agree another part to that is you know when i think about what they were saying i'm in these social groups so to speak relationship groups on on social media and you see a lot of that where they don't mind so it's almost like regardless of what i say i think a man should do if the woman is cool yeah then that's cool is she cool with it you ain't doing that and you're doing what i need you to do then it don't matter whether you go to work or not right that's right like yeah like you were saying that ain't no hate ain't no hate right right ain't no hate that's you yeah that's you girl home girl bro that's you keep it my can't be pushed you know trying to let the record you know let's go and clear the right because i'm gonna do it for you just like i did for ron make sure everybody understand that what irv is actually saying that women it's all your fault i just want to throw that scripture out there like carter said it is scripture you know saying even while we were with you you know we gave you this command those unwilling to work will not get to eat and i just like to throw stretch out there for people that just using stuff don't know what's going on yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah read dominique respond back to us we're gonna get to dominique in a second and he said he is a brother what's up brother all right so uh let's go with this next one real quick i saw this on social media one day you either want a busy man or a broke man what y'all say um that's all that somebody talked about first of all i don't know what i'm telling you that broke man don't laugh it's gonna last for so long okay you can't be busted for so long you gotta be you again and again it's it's broke somebody can be broke financially here it is but i i bring something else to the table so i'm not really broke in a sense but don't no woman want no man that got nothing right ladies if you agree with that let us know we don't know no difference well i don't know that watch it go i'm telling you don't know everybody every woman at least want a happy meal yeah if you if you pull it up and every time and she always looking at her purse you're right oh that's gonna wear out homeboy cause some other dude gonna be like man you ain't got to be doing that baby i've had this conversation i'm sure at some point when they out to dinner stamp and pick up the beer right right okay he don't you know he'd be like look at my over over over there you know i got this yeah you got to get this i got that i know who you are yeah exactly yeah i know i don't care what scenario right because a man gonna be you know even as a man you you don't want to be looked at as the weakling yeah and that's what my thing is we still we as men still have to have some type of pride about ourselves you know what i'm saying you know i mean we had to have some pride about ourselves to say you know what even though this woman is providing even though she's doing this or doing that i still must be able to do something to let her know that i'm relevant let her know that i could bring something to the table so but then on that other end on the other spectrum of that with the busy man he may be so busy to what we were talking about earlier now when he gets home there's no energy there for the for the family and he's still broke he broke an energy exactly so he broke so again it has to be again you got to bring something to the table yeah i mean because busy stimulate the mind you know you're not doing i mean if you're busy you ain't giving you you still ain't bringing nothing to the exactly right you could be playing and then we seen it in the movies and the tp movies all that you man got all the money yeah yeah yeah yeah and she at home like they don't even matter being broke is broke period right right right let me get to this chat real quick uh keith crow was like what do you say where'd he go uh he said my daughter better not bring a non-worker around um what's up with your man uh same coach has changed the agreeing with just tasha goodwin saying some amens la hill people can only do what you allow that's it that's it shout out to l.a kimberly t i will take a busy man anytime all right okay see no broke i'm telling you uh l.a champion you're never too busy to make time for what's important to you right that's fact erica orton yeah priority busy busy and more busy amen say so all right now okay all right you should come on where you got you got the popcorn you know what i'm saying i was waiting on like friday said i don't want a man with a broken spirit donald trump absolutely bro earth broke is not cute now we got elegant styles by tia a woman don't want a lazy man but they also don't want a busy man that don't know how to spend time it's balanced because they are so busy that they are a workaholic right you have to have balance in the relationship so let me let me allude to that though again we can as men i think sometimes our ladies gotta do so much assuming that we not making them happy you know just say like yeah you know tell us talk to it talk just say baby you too busy i'm lacking this department but i guess the communication has to be at a at a at a point where the obvious is stated right right right yeah you know because if i'm keep if i'm if i'm lacing you the bread i'm giving you the bread and you never say nothing i'm thinking you happy though right yeah right yeah yeah that makes to the man and then you turn around like you know what i never know you don't caught you again that's the balance too you gotta know when to talk about saying something right there you gotta know when to talk and we're not the talk that's correct we're in the hospital and we're in the ball roger that's not that's not gender that's men and women we just got to learn how to be bouncing conversation so real quick and ron you might be able to answer this one uh real quick because we're running out of time good talk guys good talk so dominique did come back um he said uh same mindset and balancing circumstances or waiting to finally put on paper what you've had in mind for years i think that was something he had mentioned in the earlier text that he was sending out he was i think he was about to put a book out so that's why i'm going to uran he says does the weight have the same impact so i'm assuming because you waited this long do you feel like you feel like it's going to have the same impact and we only got a couple minutes i do because i think you learn more sometimes when your ancients early on you want to do this and you want to do this and then you you and i think that's why speaking of myself that's why i procrastinated on it it just seemed like god was like no you ain't you ain't really ready for this right i can give you a better example my wife this my second marriage god put us together at a time frame when i was ready for a wife like i have now mm-hmm like my wife would say the same thing i couldn't have dealt with you back when you was in your twenties and right you were just wild enough and she's right we couldn't have got because i always joke about like you was an alien i said i was in l.a we could have hooked up way back in 85 yeah 2005. and he was like no we couldn't have hooked up 20 you were just and i think it's the same thing with this with this book and with the things that i'm doing and things that you're playing in your life sometimes you're not really ready to write or to do the things at a young age that once you put the time in let me just oh i can give you got one better men's ministry i was ready to jump on men's ministry when i got here because i felt like oh yeah this church people they don't know i need to talk to these but let me just do this and then but i wasn't ready and then once i set under when uh pastor steve daniels was over the men's ministry and i said okay i'll be your assistant and just take the notes and learn how church flows because i'm used to talking to dudes on the street right prior to that but you know i see how church flows and then i saw a whole different environment i got to understand and feel a little bit different for how things flow and how you can be an important impact on the ministry versus coming in and want to just ramrod everything so time is you know to his point time is very applicable to when you start and when you do what you do because you'll learn a lot more if you waste kids that's that's really good did you want to say something no i'm looking at these notes that i'm sorry oh okay yeah yeah so uh yeah so yeah all that's good man let me see if anything else up here uh yeah so we got a few people yeah going christian when we had concept boy okay hold on i gotta say this real quick shakita says so growing up a christian woman had the concept of boaz was the ideal man however it wasn't until five years ago i heard bishop preaching on joseph and joseph was patient and didn't judge mary and balance when so basically talking about it ain't always about boaz you know what i mean boys may be good for somebody else but maybe you need joseph right right in your life exactly because you show up pregnant and talking about god did it that takes a special man yeah yeah come on somebody so um i did man if y'all know me from any other session that i've done uh klg moments and everything like that y'all know i got a whole bunch of most slides but we don't have a whole bunch of more time all right so i do want to give you these 10 ways i saw an internet defined balance i kind of shop and massage them a little bit have them all begin with t turn it off so disconnect from the phone social media et cetera et cetera you take a screenshot um trim it up so if your life is overflowing and it goes back to reevaluating your life everywhere yeah yeah try healthier options toxin removal so we're not talking about food but toxic relationships yeah time alone make some time right there number five time alone meditation for yourself uh tend to relationships so we talk about family friends quality time treat yourself say it again sir what the family you know i brought some the other day just because it was for me and i wanted to tour your world not necessarily the world you know what i mean uh because you know going around the world might be expensive but you can take another round i like that you can all uh i used to rent trails so i'll go find another trail to run all that type of stuff like that um tear down always of thinking what i mean by that take a class learn something new all right and then turn up like bishop always say always learn to laugh y'all always learn to laugh so yeah you know i just want to make sure we give you um something to go off of like i said take a screenshot also don't forget this stuff in the word the bible even talks about it look at 3 1-13 we were going to go there but we ran out of time so but we want to make sure that you guys at least have something you can go and chew on as the weeks go by but check out ecclesiastes 1-13 is the time and place for everything time to place everything and the bible also say make sure you enjoy the fruits of your labor so with that being said we appreciate you guys for

building if you would stand look if you're at home stand up to act like you in church you're in church i want to give a shout out to the virtual partners that's watching us this morning thank you all so much for tuning in each and every week we really do appreciate it and we don't take it lightly all right y'all may notice from this familiar passage and it reads is this when jesus returned to capernaum several days later the news spread quickly that he was back home soon the news spread quickly that he was back home soon the house where he was staying was packed with visitors that there was no more room even outside of the door while he was preaching god's word to them four men arrived to carry a paralyzed man on a man they couldn't bring them to jesus because of the crowd so they dug a hole through the roof above his head then they lowered the man on his mat right down in front of jesus seeing their faith jesus said to the paralyzed man my child your sins are forgiven but some of the teachers of religious law who were sitting there thought to themselves what is he saying this is blasphemy only god can forgive sins jesus knew immediately what they were thinking so they asked them why do you question this in your hearts is it easier to say to the paralyzed man your sins are forgiven or stand up pick up your mat and walk so i will prove to you that the son of man has the authority on earth to forgive sins then jesus turned to the paralyzed man and said stand up pick up your mat and go home and the man jumped up grabbed his mat and walked through the stunned onlookers they were all amazed and praised god exclaiming we've never seen anything like this before let us pray dear father we come to you first of all just thanking you for this opportunity i ask that you just use me as a vessel to pour out into your people lord god i thank you i honor you in the name of jesus we pray amen amen amen my title today is god is able god is able we must have faith enough to believe god when we look at the last 18 months of our life we have gone through some difficult times some of us may have felt stuck mentally some of us may have slept in two slipped into a depression some of us may feel like our world has been turned upside down we've had times when we felt like we're going through things on our own and our situation don't look like god is in it don't look like god is going to fix our situation the enemy seems like he's taken over our mind because every which way we turn it look like there's no way out we look to our social media and when we see uh school shootings and threats in the hampton roads area we we're filled with anxiety not knowing whether to uh pull our kids out of school or just cover them in prayer we turn to the news and we see the stuff going on the chaos at the u.s border and how the border patrol are handling the haitians uh we see vaccinated verse unvaccinated we see mass versus unmasked somebody may call our phone and say that they tested positive for covet and we were just with them the weekend before look at somebody say enough is enough i need you to type in the chat god is able oh but the good news is god is able to do all things no matter the circumstances here it is in the story a paralyzed man couldn't get to where jesus was but god made a way he used four men to carry the paralyzed man to put him in position type in the comments one more time i need you to say god is able god is able i'll give you a quick testimony real quick april and i have been trying to have a baby for over 10 years as a matter of fact i came home from being a merchant seaman in 2011 so that we could start a family after years of trying we decided to seek medical help uh um after a bunch of tests and and and uh medical procedures we found out that we couldn't have them naturally so we had to go to ivf route which is in vitro fertilization uh april was having allergic reactions to everything i'm talking about look down to the surgical tape and the glue my wife went through it y'all but we knew uh still in our mind we knew that god was able we started the ivf process the first time and and uh i never forget this was during the time this was pre-covert where you could go into the to the operating room and i seen them implant two of the four embryos that we had and i remember knowing that i was going to be a father i walked out with my head held high i walked out uh feeling excited because i knew what was about to happen in my life all to get a call two weeks later the doctor saying that it it failed we was a little upset but we knew that god was able how many of you know that it's okay to be upset but you just can't stay there god made promises to us and his word says that god is not a man that he shall lie just like the man in the store being paralyzed some of you have some situations that you feel like are paralyzed you feel like uh you're at a standstill you feel like things are not happening for you but i need you to know that god is able some of y'all still might have the question how do i know god is able you will know that god is able number one because of relationship relationship he uses others he'll put people in place for you and verse three and four it says four men carried a paralyzed man carrying a paralyzed man on the mat they couldn't bring them to jesus because of the crowd so they dug a hole through the roof above his head then they lowered the man down in front of jesus they lowered the man on his mat down in front of jesus god used these four men to put the paralyzed man in position to receive his healing god has some people lined up just to help you get in position i'll never forget the first time that we went through ivf we felt like we was going through it by ourselves we didn't tell anybody the second time god gave us specific people to pray for us during this process key word i said specific because you can't tell everybody everything but that's a whole nother sermon i'ma leave that one alone the the the thing that i love about this story is could you imagine if the paralyzed man didn't pick the right four men i'm gonna be honest with you when i was studying i told my wife i said boo boo boo boo can i say can i just forget one of the five and just say we have four people praying for us because that's gonna hit hard you know that's gonna hit real hard cause it's gonna seem like i'm really in the text she said don't get up that line i said okay okay so you know what what i decided to do i said okay well we took the four added one to it which then begins the number of grace because you know five is the number of grace and we needed grace to go through this [Music] process god will use people to get you to where you need to be but you have to have you have to have faith in order to see it through you have to be open to being helped they could have given up when they seen the crowd but their faith allowed them to press on not only will god will you know that god is able because of relationships you'll also know because of point number two which is recognition he sees you recognition verse 5 says seeing their faith jesus said to the paralyzed man my child your sins are forgiven jesus saw their faith he saw their drive how many of you know that faith without works is dead huh uh uh um one of the things that in the scripture that stuck out to me was uh uh so they dug a hole through the roof above his head that stuck out because they sound like work to me number one the text didn't say how they got up on the roof it didn't say what tools they used to get through the roof and it didn't tell me what they used to lure the man down in front of jesus so to me that sounds like work and i don't know about y'all but if i'm putting that much work in i need me a little recognition i need god to see me i'm like sometimes you got to say hey god excuse me i need you to hey i'll let me don't forget about me i haven't been doing too much i didn't put in too much work just like the story april and i still continue to press our way we still continue to get up every morning and watch the stream uh faithfully and not just be lazy and catch the replay y'all know how it is y'all know it's real hard to get up when you ain't actually got to be nowhere come on somebody i'm talking we still stay faithful and and and serve the ministry serve the teens could you imagine pouring into everybody else kids not knowing whether it's going to happen for you come on somebody but we stayed faithful we prayed we fasted we even got to the point where we started eating better so we can get april's body ready to carry a baby see sometimes we always looking at what god hasn't done for us but we don't look at ourselves sometimes you got to examine yourself to find out okay god what am i not doing right for you to bless me if it wasn't for getting in position he wouldn't have got his healing he wouldn't have got his blessing he wouldn't have got delivered but he was in position and he had some people to help him get there god is able y'all god is able god is able uh uh you have to be in the right position to be seen you have to align your faith with the work in order to get the recognition that you need yeah it's hard to put the emotion to the side but you still got to do it just like jesus saw the paralyzed man god sees you so not only is it relationship recognition but it's also response he'll give you a response and verses six and seven it says this it says but some of the teachers of religious law who were sitting there thought to themselves what is he saying this is blasphemy only god can forgive sins the teachers of religious law only knew god to forgive sins they couldn't grasp the fact that jesus was the son of man who had the power to be able to deliver and heal people so much so to the point where his shoulder on their faces and even in their body language i mean they even were bold enough to ask the question what is he saying and i know some of you all are asking that question to god god what are you saying what are you saying what are you telling me right now what do i need to do god knows i needed a response from him i'm telling you i got to the point where my faith almost got pushed to the side by fear i never forget april asked me a question this was when she was just i mean it was a new pregnancy i'm telling the stomach wasn't really there yet i couldn't tell whether she was pregnant or just ate a little too much i'm told it was it was new new but she said to me she said baby i thought you would be a little different so what do you mean thought i would be a little different she said i thought you would be a little bit more into this process into the baby i had to come clean y'all i said baby i'mma be honest with you i'm scared i remember getting the call like it was yesterday i remember the failed process the first time i remember uh uh uh uh what man declared to be the best two of the embryos them placing them i remember seeing like it was yesterday them placing it in on the screen and then i remember getting a call and it failed so i'm scared i'm scared and she shared with me she said baby don't allow fear to rob you of the moment see some of y'all ain't got an april in your life so i'ma share it with y'all don't allow fear to rob you of the moment she said you mess around and look up he'll be here and you to miss the whole process so don't allow fear to rob you of the moment don't allow fear to rob you of the moment god even gave us another response and the response was i'll never forget it was the eight week appointment that's the first one the eight week appointment we go in there i'm full of tears i'm a bag of tears y'all i'm crying if you know anything about me you know i'm sensitive anyway i i wear my emotions on my sleeve so as i'm looking at this ultrasound what i didn't think would happen for me i'm seeing on the screen and god gave us a response that baby did just like this and i knew right then i said that was god's way of the baby saying i'm okay i just need y'all to do everything it is that y'all need to do until i get there but i'm okay i'm okay look at somebody and say god is able god is able he gave us a response he gave us a response uh um to the point where when things start to happen you know they placed two the second time but one failed but we know god is able good god almighty uh uh it got to the point where every time we would go to the doctor they would say something that fear would begin to set in again they would say um like things like oh he has a heart condition and i say god is able then we go to the next appointment and that turned out to be nothing then we would go back to the doctor and they say he got spinal bifidia spinal bifida and i said oh i don't even know what that is but god is able and you know because what will happen is you'll start to diagnose some things and start to googling too much and you'll start that fear or really begin to set in but how many know you got to stand on the promises that god gave you and you got to declare to that thing god is able no matter what it looked like i need you to say god is able this recent appointment we went to they said that his femur bones were too short i looked it up and it said dwarfism i say his father is six too god is able god is able god is able i need you to type in the chat i just need you to put some hearts up type in the chat say god is able god is able if you believe me i need you to touch and agree you have all right you have to be ready for god's response you got to be ready for god's response he already knows the outcome i know this may sound cliche but the reality is god has a plan for your life and comedy world we call that a call back to the first message that i preach god's plan so god already knows the outcome so why are you worrying why are you worried about something all i need you to do is be open enough to receive what he has for you and get in position to be able to get it so not only will you know about relationship recognition response you'll also know by results and shout out to my teams y'all know i'm the teen uh youth leader here so i want to share with them i got another r for you and that is receipts receipts if you want to call that a sub point i ain't give it to media it's all right it's a little secret a receipt i'm just trying to connect with my young people god had proof not only did god have proof but in the story jesus had proof he will deliver he delivered and healed the man and he said this in verse 10 and 12 it said so i will prove to you that the son of man has the authority on earth to forgive sins then jesus turned to the paralyzed man and said stand up pick up your mat and go home and the man jumped up grabbed his mat and walked through the stone non-lookers they were all amazed and praised god exclaiming we've never seen anything like this god wanted to show that the son of man has the authority on earth to be able to forgive sins he allowed jesus to do it in front of the onlookers that's my favorite part he'll do it in front of some people jesus revealed his authority if you know anything about the year of opportunity we're in the third quarter and we're revealing authority he he revealed his authority by telling the paralyzed man stand up pick up your met and go home and the man did just that god really showed us that he was able he allowed my wife to carry our baby boy caleb without any complications during pregnancy when i say no complications i'm talking about uh no headaches uh no metallic taste in the mouth no morning sickness no nothing and this week will be six months so i need you to type god is able god is able we're almost there y'all thank you all so much for the support and the love that you all have been showing for our baby boy caleb that ain't even here see he's not even here but y'all speaking that thing into existence just like i am it's no way that i can be the spokesperson for speak those things not as though they are if i'm not living it out i gotta live out what it is that god so let me share with y'all uh what you're speaking when you say his name his name means and i'm talking about caleb his name means this it says it means faithful wholehearted bold or brave and some people even said that it means devotion to god so when you speak his name you're seeing everything that my wife went through in order to get him here she had to be bold she had to be faithful she had to be wholehearted and she had to be brave and elijah which is his middle name elijah means yahweh is my god which is a former hebrew for the name god in the bible so god is my god so we're speaking that thing we're calling it out and we're calling him into existence i'm telling y'all i'm so excited y'all see me doing things on social media because i'm genuinely excited because i didn't think it was going to happen for me but god is able some of you all are looking for god to do some things in your life [Music] i am here to remind you today that god is able now is a part of the service where we all could join in and and be a part of getting in the right position you can make a spiritual decision and you have three choices you got three different spiritual decisions that you can make and i want to take you back to the beginning of the story of the story that i read which was mark two and one and it says when jesus returned to capernaum several days later the word spread that he was back at home when they say something more than once in the text that means they really want you to grasp something there so what i seen in the text was when jesus returned to capernaum several days later and back at home and i'd like to suggest to you what if the paralyzed man missed the first time that jesus was in capernaum what if he said look i don't care what's going on the next time here i need you all to get me to where i need to be because looking at the way that they did it and their push and their drive that they had they got in right position and they didn't let anything stop them so i'm talking to you right there today do not let this stop you from getting in right position and you can do so by accepting christ into your life all you have to do is text accept to 71441 don't miss your opportunity don't miss your moment so that's the first decision you can make the second decision you can make is you can rededicate your life to christ and by rededicate let me tell you what that means that means the pandemic hit us and you didn't have that accountability there because you wasn't in church amongst the church folks so could nobody tell on you so you fell off a little bit you're not as faithful as you used to be meaning you were saved indeed you just fell out of good grace but it's time now to get back in right position and all you have to do is text restart to 71441 and somebody is waiting to respond to you the third decision is you can become a partner of this great fellowship look come on over to the winning team i'm not slight nobody else church but this right here at the mount global fellowship of church is the chesapeake location or you could be a virtual member this is the winning team so come on and join us you've been rocking with us anyway you've been
