shots you have to get to go to africa six six shots and then they even ask you have you received the covet vaccination as well so that comes with a total of seven shots that have to take place to preach the gospel any way you bless me lord i'll be satisfied i told you yes i didn't know it included shots listen i'm excited about um shifting and moving and there's a young man that has been with us for about 10 years and i love the gift that god has given him it said darn lead gupta those of us from pentecostal churches we love a good lead good time it just make you want to dance and lawrence has been with us for 10 years right 10 years and his father is a pastor and the lord told him that he has to go and submit to his father to begin to study to do ministry oh we're putting the pressure on you today boy can y'all give me a failure can we celebrate our own lawrence and what god is doing in his life i love it i love it he hate this kind of stuff look how he looking he came and sat down to talk to me and said this is what i feel led and literally said pastor will you release me to go serve my father i always tell people this don't serve and join at the front believe at the back amen he did it right and i prayed that god would bless him i said well lawrence if we need you can we call you he said anytime so we're excited about that and we want you to know that we pray that the blessings of the lord be upon you those of you can you stretch your hands this way towards him god we cover him and we ask god that you will bless us going out in his coming in we pray god that you would make him who you have called him to be he is bigger than that instrument and we thank you that it does not even yet appear who this man gonna be but we're glad that we had a part in it so just be glorified in jesus name we pray and everyone said amen amen you have to learn how to celebrate your own amen how to celebrate your home all right let's get into in this bible this series has been amazing to me and i can say to you that as a shepherd this has been something that i have to consistently go back and read because as a shepherd as um as a sower who releases the seed of the word and i see the word falling what amazes me is that everybody doesn't get it and so what i begin to do is i begin to blame myself i begin to even question me as the sower am i enough but hear me clearly for those of you all that walk around try to help people be confident in who you are but make sure that you don't waste your oil on people who don't want to receive what you have you have to hear that and everybody's not going to receive it the way that you think that they should hear me clearly one of the things about christ is that christ was busy teaching life as a believer when he taught he taught in parables in other words he was a storyteller i told you last week that a parable is an earthly story story but you have to be spiritual because it has a heavenly meaning if you study the teachings of christ he was a simple man it amazes me how we want to make the gospel so difficult we want to use big words and impress people you impressing people but they're not understanding what is coming out of your mouth theologians say that christ literally taught between a third to a fifth grade level can i beg you teachers and preachers break that word down that the most simple person can understand what is coming out of your mouth we are listening to people preached using big words they don't even know what the words mean we have to sit up and get a dictionary to know what you saying challenge me but chop it up that the average person can understand what is going on he taught a total of 36 parables out of three and a half years of teaching making sure that everybody get it the parable that we're looking at is the parable of the sore please listen to me watch me the sword all three weeks the same the seed the same the seed must be released at the bag watch me it has to get out of your hand to grow it cannot grow as long as it is in the bag once the sower releases the seed how and who catches it is on them it's not on you parents raise your children release the right stuff it's off of you they make their own decisions come on here stop allowing dirt to tell you you're not a good sower come on here your responsibility is to tell people what is right preachers preach the word come on here be a light in the midst of darkness get it off of you why watch me he knew that he could trust you to open your bag and release your seeds come over here why are you so blessed cause i keep releasing the more i release the more i gather people want to judge your reaping season but don't know your sewing record anybody know that everything you have you got it because god gave it to you come on here those online can i get you to type on the line god's been good to me those on zoom can you say it god be good to me those in the building can you lift your hands and open your mouth and testify because you have been releasing praise you've been sowing seeds and you're now living in your increase come on let's talk bible let's talk bible the first week the sword is the same the seed is the same but it falls on the path be careful that you are not path people that sit up and hear the word but nothing changes nothing changes you're still mean you're still broke you're still trifling but i love the lord hmm still gotta try a position still got a title still gifted but no progress nothing has shifted you just in the building but it's on the path watch me and the birds come and eat it up because it never made it to good ground second week the sun is the same the seed is the same but the soil is different last week you're the ones that are on the rocky places shut up rocky places mean that your um your soil is shallow we release the seed watch me you sprung up we heard you we saw you but then when we checked on you you didn't have any root which other word you top heavy but let a trial come you out of here because you didn't take time to let your roots grow you got the position but you weren't wise enough to keep it i don't know about you before i spring root me because when i rise i have no intentions of coming back down come on here root me lock me in don't just give me money today teach me how to work it that i'll never have another broke day in my life come on here don't just raise me up if he was it's just your season right now who you talking to my roots run deep boo i need you to find some other deep people and stop hanging out with shallow dirty people come on y'all let's go bible so you're not the path watch me you're not the thorns i'm sorry you're not the rocky place watch me rocky mean that rock is there no roots today we're gonna go to the thorns please pay attention the sword is the same the seed's the same but somebody is hanging out with some weeds i didn't say smoking some of y'all smoking the weeds but you are surrounded by thorns weeds watch me you're growing you got root you're not shallow you're showing fruit but you're surrounded by weeds check your environment make sure that you're not the only one that's producing because you got to be careful because some people are weeds that only want to snatch off your tree and they're not going to even eat it they just helps they just hate seeing you be productive come on y'all you don't even watch me you want to take my joy but you don't want to be happy come on here you want to use my favor but you don't want to walk in the grates that go with it those in the building i need you to make sure you're not in the weedy section who are the weedy people i'm just glad to be in the building but i ain't giving god no glory come on i need you to make sure you round some people that can bear fruit of praise come on here ah come on online make sure you check that you not eat there's no weedy people on your line i need you to everybody release the praise wherever you are and chicken let's go bible look at the screen matthew 13 7 other seed fell among fell among among among thorns weeds this line doesn't mess me up watch me which grew up who grew up the weeds the thorns caught up which grew up and choked it shut up so the weeds began to grow up and got to a point that it could choke you from where you were you gave them a reason to stand up had you stayed at a level they never would have grown up to choke you slide down if you don't mind to the 22nd verse and it says the seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word here's the word here's the word his word his word hears it here's it here's it but something happens the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of of wealth you start worrying about money or wanting money more than you want god so you got worry and money choking you press me making it unfruitful shut up watch me watch me watch me you were good the sword released the seed you were growing you were growing you were growing you didn't watch it your roots were good you were producing fruit you were producing fruit you producing food keep blowing your mind you have more than you've ever had you are amazed what god is doing your life is not the same and when i think of the goodness of jesus and all he's done for me [Music] the best thing that you can do is expect a weed to bear the same praise that you got but i wish i would let a weed tell me how i should praise god because you don't know the seed that i received or the dirt that i came from those of you that know that god has a that you have a testimony and everything you are god made it i need you to break past everything that's been trying to choke your praise and re lift your hands and give god a praise right there yo you don't have to pay people that have fruit to give god glory you don't have to beg people that have what you mean they got a testimony to open their mouths i need you to give [Music] yeah let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go so your dirt is good your dirt is good the seed is good your roots are growing you've grown and you're being fruit you are not who you used to be i don't have to ask you if i've changed i could look at my own fruit and tell that i am not who i used to be trust me it's some fruit on this branch because i used to i would smack you with the branch but now i don't have time to lose fruit over your foolishness let's talk oh let's talk let's talk let's talk let's talk let's talk let's talk the dirt is good the soil is good i got the seed my roots are growing and i'm bearing fruit i don't have time to worry about your hatred cause you don't know what i came from i started in a bag oh you don't know my process oh you think i just arrived i went from nothing and got a little something something and then when he gave me a little some summer i began to give him praise and he gave me a little bit more and the more he gave me the more radical i became you want to know why you looking at me because i'm a fruit bearer [Music] come on y'all hey she let me calm down let me calm down ah the soil is good the seed is good the soil is good the roots are good the tree is growing and i'm bearing fruit i don't have to ask you to compliment me i compliment myself this ain't arrogance this called courage and confidence you can't live the life i live and second guess your process let's go let's go the sow is good the seed is good the soil is good the tree is good it's we got root and it's bearing fruit let's talk fruit for a minute fruit i used to be a sad person now the joy of the lord see you think fruit just money no boo fruit is also character fruit is any progress that i see come on here fruit is watch me when everybody in my house when everybody in my family nobody graduated but you my brothers and my sister you're the curse breaker you're the one that broke through the weeds you're the one that broke through the weeds you're the one that's the first one to do it in your house in your village and in your community you broke through the weeds you were surrounded by stuff watch me but i am not what i was born in can i tell you something so watch me watch me the lord is bringing so much so early this week i was in prayer had some quiet time in the lord saying i'm bringing you in front of curse breakers i said what are you saying to me god he said pay attention to people that begin to talk to you and if you listen to what they're saying to you if you listen to where they came from what they came out of they are adamant about the fact that i'm not going to raise how i was raised my children will never go through the weedy mess that i've been through i'm a curse breaker those of you that know that you will still watch me they thought you were going to be weedy like them but god put favor on your life all i need are the curse breakers i need those of you that know that your background not that squeaky clean you did not grow up in the house with the brady bunch or the huxtables your mama crazy your daddy crazy your brother crazy but god put favor on your life and you broke through some things that nobody ever thought that

talk let's talk this is not pay attention a sudden death this is not a sudden death he just can't wipe you out you have to hear me not you watch me the birds ate those on the path those in the rocky place the sun scorched them gone but you your soil is good your seed is good your tree is good your roots have grown look at me and you have beard much fruit he just can't wipe you out you my brothers and my sisters it is a process and it is up to you to monitor yourself stop asking people have i slowed down you know have you slowed down or not come on let's talk it's a process so we study with another one of our pastors our church in memphis dr connor who is a physical doctor and we were studying this yesterday we say i said dr connor how long does it take for someone to die if they've been choked he said the first four minutes it takes four minutes four minutes just to cut off your breathing in other words i need god to wear the weeds out that they realize you just can't kill me suddenly [Laughter] you don't watch me you better up your strength if you want to get rid of me come on here come on here it takes four minutes pay attention to stop your breathing watch me now watch me watch me he hates your sound your sound irritates hell you better hear me yo sound when you get up tomorrow good morning dog gone it there they go again how you doing blessed and highly favored shut up here you are in church here i am the worship i don't want you to worship every time you do what you've been called to do wish me watch me watch me he has it's a process and let me give you how he's been attacking you it takes four minutes to stop you from breathing the moment you stop breathing then he the moment you stop breathing out then he begins to work on you internally the first thing that the enemy does watch me it was me it took four minutes to stop me from breathing now get ready because it take another six to ten minutes to stop my brain from functioning because my brain is still telling me although i'm not breathing oh you can breathe again because your body can't do nothing until your brain tell her to do it so you're not breathing but your brain said oh you getting up out of this [Music] did you hear what i just said send me a you're not breathing but your brain is telling you oh but it ain't over yet [Music] and your brain watch me petition your brain has more time than your choker [Applause] cause your choker only got four minutes now even when you let my hand go cause i stopped breathing you so stupid you should have kept your hand on me cause had you kept your hand on me you might have sped up my brain shutting off a little bit longer but the devil left you thinking that he had you is there anybody besides me if the devil thought that he had you in a tough place but you rise again you have what i call a bounce back anointing this ain't the first time you bounce back i need you to remember remember remember remember cause once i stop your breathing i have to attack your brain if i take your brain i erase your memory and suddenly i hear the lord saying i have done too much for you for you to give in to a choke and i'm gonna give you a few minutes before you're classified as dead to remember how good i've been to you well i'ma give you a few minutes this i recall to my mind and therefore have i hope that i'm coming out of this let's talk so you have four minutes for me to stop breathing then i got another six to minute 10 minutes for you to work on my brain stop but you're still not dead it's a process don't give him your kidneys and your lungs and your brain has not shut down don't speed up your process ah don't call it over yet it ain't over this is part of your testimony come on here let's talk let's talk let's talk let's talk so you got four minutes to choke me i got six to ten minutes for my brain to shut down and then after my brain shut down then next thing you do you gotta stop my flow you gotta stop my flow so now you wanna mess with my arteries so now watch me first then you submit to my brain then you attack my heart and if you get in my heart if you get in my heart then you change my attitude you change the way i talk you you you clog me you shut down i don't flow like i'm supposed to flow and some of y'all he's beginning to block your arteries but it still ain't over cause it's a process now either you can submit to the process or you can push a breath out stop i ain't done with you yet ready you got four minutes to choke me you got six to ten minutes to shut my brain down after you shut my brain down then my brain started telling my heart i stopped beating stop beating stop beating then after my heart stops beating you still ain't all the way dead you're still not all the way dead you're still not all the way dead if you oh my god if you're listening to me right now i am an ambulance in the spirit i'm a paramedic in the spirit realm and i am about to give you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation you're about to get everything what the enemy thought that he had taken from you you're going to get it back with increase [Music] what's up so you got four minutes to cut off my breathing you got six to ten minutes to affect my brain then after you affect my brain you got to hit my heart then when my heart stops beating guess what my kidneys and my liver have to be shut down what does that mean your kidneys and your liver i thought i said now you gotta explain this to me he said your kidneys in your liver basically is your detox system it gives you the ability to release all the toxic mess as some of you are you've been holding on to mess you mad because of the way that they treated you stop that's how unbelievers that's how weedy people think but those of us that bear fruit we think all things i can't explain this but even your evil behavior is gonna work to my benefit god i wish i was around some people that were banned fruit so i see so so the final thing so the final thing is to cut off final thing matthew is to cut shut down your liver and your kidneys so that you cannot release the detox the detox of the enemy telling you you're dead it's over it's a wrap you'll never rise again it is over it is over for you and that it's a process to take you out look at me you're not a sudden murder case even when you shut you keep living for the weapons of our warfare anarchana can everybody that's listening to me that know some stuff that happened to you the fact that you keep breathing is a miracle lift your hands and give me a few seconds of you inhale exhale just so what's good hear your heartbeat why won't you die why you keep getting up why you keep believing why you keep rejoicing you ain't gotta die why you keep standing still knowing that god's gonna bring this thing back to life again hey you survived the previous attacks and you're gonna survive this one too you survived the previous attacks and you gonna survive this for two ow you survived the previous attacks and you gonna survive this to lift your hands and open your mouth and breathe breathe breathe breathe got some plowing to do we got some plowing to do we just got a little plowing to do because whenever there was weeds it doesn't mean that the land wasn't plowed it was plowed listen carefully but watch me what's choking you has not been properly cleared you have to see the progress don't actually one of the things that enemy make you think is you you never made it that's not true the soil is good the seed was good the roots brown and i have bears some fruit be careful with people that want to you ain't never changed oh trust me i have oh you better trust me i have cause if i hadn't your eyelashes would have been snatched off your weave would have been pulled back and you would be another case you know i do have a record listen you think you know me you looking at ac after christ if you met the bc before christ you wouldn't even talk to me the way you talking to me you better be careful cause i still got a little residue oh my god who am i talking to you okay so so so so so what does it take to choke you so what does it take to choke you so what does it take to choke you i mean you have so much fruit you have broken through so much watch me and now watch me watch me please mention this um the more you grow the more weeds pop up you have to hear me you have to be stop smashing me some of y'all just want a crowd make sure they have fruit because if they don't have nothing they're only going to be pulling on your tree and causing you loss and never adding to when you need everybody say lord help me plow help me everybody listen to me please say this with me please please say this to me every survivor i need you to say lord help me to plow help me to clean my environment my circle help me help me help me not to give in to the weeds help me so the bible says two things two things so so how do you get choked how do you get choked how do you get choked and um come on in and um you know let's go here so what happens is um you're growing the dirt is good um the seed is good the roots are growing and you're blessed and you're blessed watch me and then something happens you got to watch me because some of y'all want to be blessed but with blessings come responsibility see when i didn't have the blessing i didn't have this responsibility but respond come on me so with every blessing comes responsibility pull a little bit pull a little bit so i start feeling a little tight because this thing is pulling on me i just wanted the blessing i didn't know it was gonna start pulling on me and that's called worry because watch me watch me i got all these weeds around me waiting on me to fall and i'm worried about it and i'm worried about what he says he says he says referring to someone who hears the word but the worries the worries the worries the worries the worries of this life the words of this life so you you you you you got it you bear fruit but the next thing you know you stop worrying you stop worrying how am i how am i gonna maintain this you start taking on the weight of the blessing because with with every blessing come responsibilities and responsibilities that are not handled right becomes stress and stress turns into worry so now wherever they're stressed watch me whenever they're stressed the only thing that's needed is structure but i don't feel as if i have the energy to bring structure so i just worry and it begins to choke me and it begins to choke me and i begin to worry about what you think about me what you're saying about me and i literally began to watch me that i can't even sleep at night because if i don't sleep i don't give my body time to recharge so even when i lay down watch me there's still a pool i'm trying to sleep but i'm not really resting because i'm still getting pulled in my sleep that when i wake up i wake up with bags i wake up and i don't feel revived i don't feel rejuvenated i don't feel the energy but i'm a tree and i had fruit but i'm a preacher but i'm a pastor but this church is worrying me when are you gonna realize this ain't your church so why are you worried about jesus so bride you just stop worrying and the worry gets the best of you and then it goes a little bit deeper you ready because now [Laughter] i'm not just worried about it because i have an image i have an image and i have an image because i want to get me an apartment downtown nope i couldn't afford it but it went with my image i went and got me a bmw but i couldn't afford it but it went with my image and i cannot let my image oh when i come out i got a ferragamo belt that i bought at the african fest it ain't real but you'll only know what if i tell you y'all ain't got to say nothing to me cause i have an image so i'm wearing fake which is releasing a fake spirit on me [Music] and it's choking me and it's choking me and it's choking me and it's choking me because i got to do whatever i got to do to protect my image so if i got to get another job i'll get a job if i got to get a business if i got to be a undercover supplier to the weed man you only gotta say no to me if i gotta if i gotta lower my standard if i gotta lose my conviction to make money i don't believe in drinking but i'm gonna work at this bar and i'm gonna shake these drinks up cause i got to get that money i got to get that money i got to get that money and it's never gonna be enough because you have given in you went beyond the tree you went beyond your fruit and you start giving in to the weed sails and you begin to allow that to begin to choke you [Music] don't forget this is not a sudden murder because although you feel the pressure you still got time and i'm looking at some of y'all and it's pulling it's falling you're on your knees you're kicking you're trying to survive this don't go with what he promised me this don't match what i was told show me where i need to do show me how to get up out of this situation either i can give in or i can tap into prayer either i can give in or i can believe that the same god that did it before is going to do it again breathe breathe don't worry about no money as a matter of fact lay down [Music] just later don't breathe so hard cause the enemy hear you breathing he gonna keep choking you learn how to take small breaths cause eventually drop it [Music] too get the glory get the glory get the glory get the glory get the glory get the glory get the glory out of this get the glory out of this show me how to get up show me how to give up show me how to be restored i look to the heels but with cometh my help my help come from you i need you to begin to do what needs to be done in me i need you to do what needs to be done in me forget the weeds work on me create within me a clean heart and renew the right spirit within me that i don't have to worry and i feel myself starting to get up starting to get up now watch me watch me watch me it was a process to kill you it's a process to be revived it was a process to kill you it's a process to be revived it was a process to take you down it's gonna be a process to get back up and some of y'all are almost up but you're not all the way up yet i need you to keep breathing and pace yourself if you are in the building stand to your feet if you're at home if you can stand i need you to stand and breathe and breathe and breathe and breathe and breathe and breathe good soil good seed good roots good tree but here come a fresh patch of fruit [Applause] watch me you think my previous fruit was good wait until you get this because this survived the storm [Applause] this survived the tornadoes this survived even when i thought i was over oh my god oh my god lift your hands in this building hmm [Music] uh [Music] come on lift your hands close your eyes don't worry about your image when you first came out you came out in a suit now you got some ropes around you yup i don't look like i look like when you first saw me but i want you to know that i've grown enough that i can now plow the land there's certain things i'm not gonna put up with no more there's certain people you don't have a choice you have to leave my life come on here a certain way i'm going to begin to think about myself i used to seek your approval and your validation but i've grown enough to know that as long as i have the validation of god i don't need the validation of man come on i realize that every good and perfect gift comes from the lord i realized come on here that he began to pull things off around me that used to choke me come on watch me watch me there's some plowing going on there's some plowing going on there's some things being removed all i need you to do is keep living keep bearing fruit keep living keep bearing fruit keep living keep bearing fruit keep living keep bearing fruit keep living keep bearing fruit keep living wait wait wait wait wait leave a few right there don't take everything out watch me but i prayed and asked god to remove everything but i left that there to show you that my grace is sufficient i left that there to make sure that you don't get arrogant i left that there to make sure that you don't get lifted in pride i'm a leader of something behind to make sure that you keep worshiping me you are not going to reach perfection but you will not be who you used to be lift your hands in this [Applause] [Music] and i'm gonna leave a little rope around you every now and then i'm gonna leave a little rope around you every nine days i'm gonna leave a little rope around you every night and then which means that sometimes you might walk until come here matthew do me a favor just step on the rope don't grab it just step on the road when i'm walking i need you to just step on the rope i'ma leave a little rope right there watch me watch me watch me just to give you a pull when i give you a pull you're gonna have a man said oh no i'm not going back to what i used to be i have learned whatsoever satan i'm in that there will be content i'm gonna bless the lord at all times and his phrases are going to continually be in my mouth lift your hands open your mouth even if you fill a pool worship [Music] breathe breathe [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] breathe [Applause] your heart is speeding [Music] breathe breathe [Music] everybody open your mouth and begin to worship and in between your worship inhale exhale breathe [Music] your shoulders over your struggling is over get your gift back get your confidence back get your self-esteem back get your passion back get your creativity back getting you back getting you back [Applause] getting you back get your dream back [Music] get your feet back [Applause] come it has affected your faith [Music] breathe and he breathed into man the breath of life [Music] and man became a living so breathe [Applause] everybody lift your hands and say god show me how to do this everybody lift your hands and say god show me how to do this show me how to live in this show me how to produce show me how not to give up in this show me how to progress in this show me how to elevate in this show me how to shift in this so [Music] you want honesty right so at one point during the pandemic i found myself being choked with worry you want to hear i was worried about like god who's still with me like who's still with me i have not seen the army but i'm getting emails i'm getting inboxes i don't feel led to be with you anymore i don't feel connected to you anymore i'm moving i'm shifting i'm leaving new life is no longer my church i'm out of here and i begin to worry because around the corner i built for you when we plan we plan with you in mind and so then i began to worry i started choking i started choking and then i started hanging around some weed preachers who told me they're never coming back to church settle for this they'll never be back in so you just need only need to focus on production because the earth will never go back to us meeting in mass numbers evil communication be careful with people that use the word never around you and watch me and sometimes you think it's not affecting you but then when you get by yourself can i get somebody that can be honest with me when you get by yourself is when that devil really gets to talking this this is how deep it is chris watch me i went over to the new church at one point and i stood there and i said to god in my choking state this is too big i was choking i was literally choking and the soil is good the seed is good the roots are growing the tree is growing fruits are being buried but i can't pay attention to the fruit because i'm listening to the weeds and then the money came up then the money came up you got this mortgage you didn't build this million dollar building around the corner what you gonna do to get that money [Music] wait wait it gets worse then the construction companies say i don't know what to tell you president but you need two million more dollars like oh god oh god i need two minutes hold on hold on let me call somebody i call somebody hello they told me i need two million dollars he said hold on i got somebody will connect you to and they gonna go find that money okay go find the money go find the money go find the money go find the money and while i was waiting [Music] while i was waiting [Music] cause he didn't do it suddenly while i was waiting [Applause] [Music] my heart started beating i started getting my memory back i stop thinking god has done too much for me for me to start doubting god now i would be a fool to lose my faith and believe that god brought me this far to let me down breathe again [Music] money coming people coming the blessings of the lord make but i've never seen the righteous [Music] beg for seek i've never seen the righteous forsaken no it's seed begged for prayer my god shall supply all of my needs according to his riches and glory and whatsoever you ask in my name [Music] [Applause] [Music] breathe don't you get into an anxiety attack don't you start doing stupid stuff you didn't make it this far oh schemes don't you ever yield your anointing to the tactic of the enemy [Music] so i stopped choking and i start confessing and i can talk if i stop choking i can speak if i loosen the grip of the enemy and when i loosen the grip of the enemy i begin to prophesy and i begin to say things that i have been saying for years we're living in our overflow how long are you going to live it for the rest of my life i need you to hear me clearly so then my finance department called they said for santa something's going on in the finances i said what's going on they said it's such an increase like where is this money coming from i said because god is blessing his people and they sowing seeds from the trees that are growing you got to hear me and then they watch me watch me and every time every time every time i get an email i would get one email i would get one email or somebody leaving but i would get 10 reports of somebody coming i wouldn't even feel low and then god would send somebody to fly in from out of town like this couple on the front who join online who do music and produce music and say we've been blown away by your ministry and your ministry brought us back to life and we just want to fly in and sit in the service and go to your afterglow pastor jim on glenn can we be a part of your afterglow which means that god will sing what you need even if it has to come from another state some of y'all all you got to do is breathe again and speak and he's not done because i know what he showed me he showed me first class production lights sound when i say action that means the gospel is about to break forth and you can't be under this tree and not get blessed you can't be under this tree and not bear fruit come over here cause he's about to plow some weeds from around you lift your hands begin to open your mouth and begin to plow through your worship go in go in i'll give you 20 seconds they're coming [Music] they come and they're coming they're coming come on [Music]

those that are worried about souls and not positions come on those that want to help carry the cross i need to hear every fruit bearer you're not choking i need you on the count of three to give god

i mean break free breathe again loosen the grip of the enemy off of your mind tell the devil to get out of your spirit hope make it not a shame you will not be embarrassed you will not be made a fool
